It's a lame post but I'm updating anyway....


Wohoo….somebody (me!) have not been blogging for quite sometime….



I was busy like hell. With work and studies. But today out of boredom, I am here to drop a few words for some updates.



So my last post was about Doris’s kitties. They are almost 2 months old, very cute and healthy. Just moved out of my room around 3 weeks ago coz I cant stand the stench of their pissings. Got them a nice kitty house that have staircase with lots of toys. Will take their pictures and post it in here soon.



At that time, I was busy with the African program that I was handling. Everyday I spent time with them and even on the weekends. Though it was over and they are gone , but I miss them. Some still keep in touch and asking hows my class, weder if I eat a lot..... By now I can almost differentiate the looks of different African countries. I think Nigerians that came are cute and extremely charming. Hmmm......



Talking bout working outside the office, last week I was the whole time in KLCC. I was selected to go for the young scientist workshop. Ingat kan biasa2 je, sekali it's an international workshop with OIC young scientist, and we have to brainstorm and come up with a resolution! Something on prospering science, technology and innovation. I went to a similar conference in UM (which I called my favourite lecturer to give me a free entrance) weeks before and ofcourse banyak le boleh discuss masa kat KLCC neh. However, by the end of the symposium, despite feeling proud that I have contributed to it, I also met the nobel price winner Ahmad Zewail (who also mentioned bout kitorang nye contribution). Korang mesti tak heran kot, but it's not often that you meet a great scientist, recognized by the world and he's a Muslim.



As usual, happy things make me feel like shopping and I shopped (sebenor nye all the time). I got my dream bag, a Dior. Last Women said it looks less Diro-ish coz it's not flashy and doesnt scream the DIOR logo, but I WAS TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH IT!!! Wanted to get a TOD's bag but the new season designs are not my taste. My craze for Aigner wallet is long gone coz there's no hope in getting the design that I like. So I bought FENDI on the same day I got the back. Best dia cam pekena 2 bijik xtacy.....atau cam masa tgh......you figure it out time bila yang rasa mind blowing punye best.




Good news other than of my promotion, is that the head of the company is finally retiring. It's high time for him to let go of the throne. He's not that powerful coz there are people gropping his ballz. The future president is someone that I knew personally long time ago. I pledge to give full support, like that day when we had sports day. Initially I did not plan of participating, tapi sebab dia dah call and nak support kat new president, main la jugak. Surprisingly, I had fun, but had to leave early for my very first class masa tu.




Just to share, my first subject is Organizational Behaviour (OB) and the lady prof, in my opinion gives good lecture......and she has an Aigner bag too. I'm surprise with how I am still susceptible of studying again. Well, it is different than degree in the sense that it involves discussion, view sharing and all that stuff. But tak sesuai if you are the type to simply say stuff that dont mean much (publicity murahan plus tin kosong). You'll get a lot of 'shut the f*** up' looks from your annoyed / pissed classmates. My seat is now permanently in front of the class. So far, I got high marks for all the papers/assignments. I like this subject but it requires me to read a lot! But I've learned a lot about people's character and also mine. And I learned bout the terms used, especially for the annoying people.....Anyway, exam is this coming Saturday and I plan to score. I should be studying instead of writing this lame lame blog. Gua rasa org takde keje and tgh hidup bosan je tulis blog, tapi takpe, this is like a diary for me. Gua nak refer apa2, leh tgk kat sini. Dalam pda dopok (dopod in kelantanese slang) gua, tak syok ler nak menulis panjang2........



Walaupun OB nye exam belom lagi, my accounting class have started last Saturday and the lecturer is the dean of accountancy. One of the problems that students face when sit in front row in the class room is that you might get percikan air liur of the lecturer. Ewww. Hari tu a drop of saliva fell right in front of me. I dont know how many nano sized air liur was on my face. Argghh. Tapi takpe, he's the dean of accounting, maybe getting showered by his saliva is like a catalyst to my brain to accept accounting easily. Ada tak mcm scientist nye reasoning....?



As for my classmates, they are from diversed background. Macam2 perangai ada youu..... but I just need to bare with them for the next 2 years. Anyway they are not that bad. I also went for the MBA induction program kat Hulu Langat. I thought it'll be at the challet that I once saw when I went to Gunung Nuang. Sekali, it was like a pondok buruk.... no lah, but it was like a facility but murah nye. In a room there was 8 double decker beds, so instead of 16 people, 27 squeezed in. No blanket, no bed sheet, ada bantal, no fan only windows. But at night I was freezing and terpaksa pakai tuala basah as selimut. The bathroom pulak was open concept. Either you mandi with kain batik, or get naked. Tapi sebab org lain tak mcm tu and I dont even own a kain batik, I bathed in the jamban, and saw insects crawling on the wall.



But,, it was fun and I didnt complain sgt compare tu other people. Bukan selalu rasa susah payah mcm ni. The horror part was during the night. We played a game called 'be my guide' where everyone had to be blindfolded and you have to follow your leader's instruction, e.g climb up the hill, jump over a drain, walk beneath trees etc. Ingat the leader olok2 when they ask to do those stuff, tapi the trees, drain are all there. We even had to climb up the slope.



Anyway, at one point of time I felt some kegatalan at my ankle but didnt think much of it. Later after it was over, I checked my ankle and saw it was bloodied. Finally, after all these years, I am finally BITTEN by a PACAT. It was a triumph la jugak althoh benda tu dah jatuh. That was what in my mind for just a few seconds. But then I suddenly saw a lump in my socks!. I was hysterical....susah nak explain betapa bangang nye. Anyway, tanpa segan2 I shoved my foot up in the air and towards the facilitator's face. Hehe. Not sure if i kicked him. I pon taktau camner my legs can go up that high. I heard him saying 'Gi ambik pisau', and this made me screamed and wailing louder. Tapi, rupa2nye, the lump in my socks tu is the bottom part of my seluar, which i tucked in the socks. Bodoh giler but that was what happened. After that, i was somewhat traumatized. I wore ticker socks, covered myself from head to toe. The game we had to play was something like treasure hunt pakai compas, in the dusun durian. The pacat was everywhere. I heard screamings all around. Argghh....geli siot tgk pacat tgh gigit kat leher. However, none got to me after that. I think gua tak payah la nak susah2 overcome takut pacat. Too stressful.



These classmates of mine, quarter of the class are still single, and yang paling best, they never thought that I'll be 30 this month! Diorang ingat I'm the youngest of the lot and that I am no more than 25 years old. Hehe....best betul...



I'll be ending my 20s in a few days. I didnt give much thought that of it. Even now, takde lak rasa stress like some people do. But I need to reflect my life in the 20s and in the next coming years, on the expectations, my plans, my goals and my achievements. Cewahhh... bunyi matured gitu. I will for sure celebrate it. Cant do it at home since it's going through some renovation. I had a makan2 at the office today, sempena besday and also for being promoted and also some other things that I would like to celebrate..... Ramai betul dtg and everything finished at one go. Those who didnt eat kambing, skrg dah suka kambing, thanks to mom's menu of kambing goreng... Yummy....sedap betul. Rugi la ko takde Last Women!



Soon, I need to take a break. Ambik cuti ke apa ke.... But next week I'm going to Perhentian Besar and hope I can get some healthy tan.......Gotta end this right now. Tata.


Something to ponder:

Almost 30 years ago, Elvis Presley didnt know that he's gonna die in his jamban.

Doris is a Momma Cat ....

.....to 4 beautiful kitties. She gave birth last 3 days which was Tuesday. One of my post in April was about Doris getting banged by Stefan. She was pregnant after that. I read a few articles online about feline pregnancy and learned a lot. I even watched a video on the birth on youtube.



So what I learned was that cat'spregnancy period is 61 to 65 days. When I looked back at my April post, Monday was exactly 61st day. I noticed that Doris already started looking for a place last week. And she was starting to have protruding nipples. According to the article, these are the signs that it may give birth in a week or so. Doris was also starting to be very affectionate. She wants me to carry her around etc. The day before she gave birth, she demanded to sleep with me. You should see the scrathes on my bedroom door when she meow-ed wanting to come in. I somehow know where she's gonna give birth. She chose an IKEA plastic basket underneath my bed where I put my old skirts in.



The next day when I got home from work, she just gave birth to the 3rd one. I was just so happy. Susah nak explain la. I think only cat lovers would understand. Anyway this is the 3rd day. So the feeling tu dah habis, but I just cant get tired watching the kitties.



Back to my story, the first two kitties are exact identical to their father, Stefan (by the way, Stefan was actually waiting patiently outside my room. Like waiting for the wife giving labour. So parents gua cakap bilik gua tu was bersalin!). The third one is dark brown. Tatau ikut saper, or siapakah bapaknya. Doris was busy cleaning herself and licking the kitties. I told her she's a good gile and I'm proud of her. Hehe. The article asks you to give soothing words and thats what I did.



After that I saw something moving inside Doris' tummy and I felt ada benda keras dalam perut. So I kept on saying soothing words and after three pushes, along came the 4th one. It's so easy for animals. It was in a membrane some sort and attached to its cord is the placenta. As I already saw in the video earlier, so I didnt find it gross when I looked at Doris eating the placenta. When she licked the no.4, the little thing started moving and slowly moved towards Doris for milk. All 4 were milking. I took some pics but it's not that clear.


This picture was taken yesterday. Baby no.4 was fast asleep when i took it and placed on my hand. Nanti ambik lagi yg lain and I'll post it in here.

On other things, tak sempat nak cerita coz I've been soooooooo busy.

Quick update...

I'm watching frasier while typing this post. Whoever did the subs for this sitcom is so stupid. Ada ke org tu sebut nama 'Esther' and this stupid bugger typed 'HESTER'. Ada ke org nama camni. Tak guna hotak tol. I guess i'm having my PMS. Heheh. Anyway, camner nak apply keje part time buat subtitle eh? Me and dad nak try apply...Macam la dah tak cukup dengan keje ada skrg. For now, I think it'll be quite awhile until my next post. Tomorow I'll be oustationed till week ends. Next week I'll be working out of office for 5 weeks.
At the same time, MBA nak start dah. Adeh....can i cope?
I was selected by mosti to go for an oversea training. Truly overwhelming coz this will be the first batch and only a few was selected. But takde time nak pilih mana nak pegi, so i asked my old boss to help me choose.
Aigner KLCC called and inform me that the wallet that I ordered is no longer being made by Germany. Huhu. Takpe la kot. Save rm1700. Anyway, I'm so busy that I have no time think about shopping.
My family's photography biz is in operation. Remind me to give my biz card when I meet you.
Thats all for now. Take care peeps.

Lazy Sunday

It's Sunday afternoon and I have not taken my bath yet..... But I guess this is a norm.

For me, I might as well enjoy lazing around while I can....because I have received the acceptance letter for my MBA!!! Yep....I will start being a student again starting 24th June. So my weekend time will be dedicated to attending classes... Oh boy.....I can imagine how will it be, but I have a few people that can be my unofficial mentors. One is the guy who left my company, he got 4 flat for his mba, and the other one is the man who replaced Kok, he did DBA not long ago. I can learn a few things from him.
For a long time I have not viewed my blog. Usually i just log in and start posting. I didn't realize having a song played in your blog is so annoying. Especially if your internet connection is shitty. By the way I have removed the 'My Current Craze' element. It was a promo song for Heroes in Star World Asia. I would never have thought that it is an Indonesian Band. Anyway, about heroes, I have the final episode, but sayang nak tengok...coz there's be more season to come. But I better finish all the things I've downloaded (illegally i admit) and watch before I start my classes.
The whole week had been a busy one. I dont remember being this busy in a long long time.... but I like! Seriously, my department's new structure is an excellent one. I love having more accountability and responsibility. I have more collegues as well. But I have to be careful coz I had a close encounter of being backstabbed. Someone claimed what I did was hers. It was a simple work and I dont mind that much. But that showed her true colours. Somebody that used to work with her told me that she had the same experience. Anyway, I dont think people will fail to notice that my name is clearly stated in the work, which she forgot to erase. Kadang tak paham la apsai nak kiss boss' ass. Dont you think that the boss knows who's kissing and licking their ass. Whether if the boss likes their asses to be kissed. Or whether the boss values hardship and earnest.
Sometimes I see people open their mouth just for the sake of saying something, but the fact is that whatever she/ he says means nothing (selalu yang aku perasan she laa). Konon nak impress laa... but most of the time, for some people, they would only apppear stupid. I've seen right in front of me that one person spoke up and what was said was ignored coz it was meaningless. I salute to that person for the futile bravery to show how stupid can one person really be. I believe in talking only when necessary. Kalau among kengkawan ke apa ke, takde la nak apply benda gini...
Anyway, in June I may be officially based in Sepang. I dont mind the distance but the petrol. Argghhh... For the past 2 months, I have been driving quite often. I have meetings almost everyday. Dad is more than happy to have the extra sleeping time in the morning since he doesn't have to send me to work. As for me, driving is a burden. I'll try not to drive when I dont have to go for meetings which is outside of my office. My car is really really 'makan minyak'. After 2 major accidents, it's finally taking it's toll.
Dad have been hinting for me to get a car. Adeh....ni yg malas ni. Unless I change to a new company, I will buy.... but this will surely incur more cost. On the hand, more cost will go to petrol and later on for maintenance.... Hmmm.....
It's almost four and I'm in the mood for shopping.

It's finally over....

In my previous blog, I was whining about my interview that was supposed the be the next day which was Monday, but for the 4th time,it was postponed again. Not to my surprise as always. But it was scheduled the next day (Tuesday). I somehow felt that it's gonna happen.
So come next morning, I was truly excited and nervous since I was told that WZ (another ass licker) is joining the panel to interview me and my collegue, but lucky she did not. The procedur is that the boss goes in to brief the panel and then the staff goes in one by one for the interview by the panel chaired by the Queen. But then instead of a short one inside, my chinese boss almost an hour inside the room. Me and my friend waited anxiously outside. My stomach already rumbling, so dengan muka tak malu, I asked for a biscuit from Queen's secretary. Then my collegue was called in. Jeng jeng jeng...
I was called in right away after my collegue left the room. I barely had the tome to ask her how was everything. When I stepped into the room, I think my face was beaming with enthusiasm and gladness that I am finally being interviewed. However I was late to realize that everyone in the room had serious expressions plasted on their faces. But I was smiling from ear to ear and grinning, that somehow it was infectious. And everyone was smiling after that....
Queen did most of the talking. She explained why the interview had to be postponed so many times, which is because of the structure. I guess I have been preparing too much during the days of uncertainty of when it will be. I read almost on everything. But she caught me offguard when she asked me to explain what I have been doing...offhand, just like that. You see, I have prepared a paper which summarizes all the work I had done. There's no way for me to explain just like that. It's just weird. But I did. The moment I opened my mouth, the words and everything that I've read suddenly started to come out. Like I'm vomiting words. Oh my God. Mcm sial. Segala benda keluar, tak tentu arah. I realize that I'm going here and there with my talk but I cant help it. Lucky my boss came to my aid, unnoticed by the panel ofcourse. After that, what I said to the panel was more structured. Hehe.
In short, the interview went very well. Queen offered for my MBA to be funded by the company. I was thrilled by the offer since I heard that it is seldom one to get funded especially in management. Anyway, all the stress and postponements had been worthwhile after all. Later, after the interview I spend the day doing retail therapy.
AF is over too. Phew! Now I can stop wasting my time and do more stuff. However, I'm glad Mila won.
Another program that I like that just ended is America's Next Top Model. The girl that I thought most righteous won too. I've been following not only this season but also the past ones. I just love when girls fight. Best woo... I've fought with a few girls before, but there's this one incident that I wont forget. It was my roomie when I was staying at Pantai Hillpark. She pissed me off bigtime and I had good reasons to feel that way. Anyway, I know I cant just face her coz she'll give me that angelic look that can fool everyone. So what I did was I mix urine in her clinique toner, and brushed toilet bowl using her tooth brush... and tah apa lagi. My partner in crime was Lissa. Anyway revenge definitely sweet!

Pannnaaasssss.....

It's so damn hot that I think most people would go naked in the house (if there's no one, or just your significant other). I would.

To update, my interview, was postponed again. Not that I expected it but I was not shock or even felt anything. It had something to do with my department's structure not being approved yet. Crap. I think, the top management and SBIC (Suckers Bigtime In Corporate-world) saw our structure and was awed with the arrangement of programs. So instead of approving, they stole the structure for themselves. Morons.

Anyway, my department is a hot topic. We may have to move to Sepang. The President said that he doesnt pay us to only have meetings in Sepang. Eh...gaji gua keluar dari pocket dia ke? Kimak tol. Xcuze my french yeah. This is one of the reason of the issue with our promotion.

Anyway, days after the postponement, I had to go to the MIHAS at KLCC. I saw one of Queen's ass kisser at the booth and we just had small chat She happens to be another VP, but not mine. Suddenly she said something that made me aware that she knows who am I. Waa...ingat dia tak kenal gua, glamer gak rupanya. Hehe. Anyway, Queen came after that and I saw from the corner of my eye that two of them looked at me as if saying, Look, she's the girl under PS (my chinese boss)...she's the one that is being promoted ...dia dulu bawah Pn Sh (my ex boss) etc. Suspen jugak la gua masa tuh. Pastu, later2, Queen suddenly stood next to me and started to chat mesra2 with me. Wtf...I was thinking what was she up to...

The next day, HR called saying that Queen wants to meet me on Monday, which is tomorow! Nak jumper buat apa? Nak interview ke apa nih.

Since dah postpone sampai 3 kali, dah mmg tak larat nak prepare. Kengkawan aku pon dah tak larat nak wish gudlak. Heheh. Tapi depa wish jugak. I just hope they wont ask me anything bout Kok. By the way, he left. Sapa from same company dgn aku, nak tau first hand story, call me. I think whatever you have heard are most probably not that accurate and the simplified version. There's more to it than you'll ever know. I'm glad that I had also contributed to his resignation.

The new boss who replaced Kok was from SBIC but he's a nice man. At MIHAS, I accompanied him to walk around and was amused that he can strike up conversation with anyone on anything, even if it sounded silly. I hope things will turn out good.

As usual, there's no way going to KLCC without visiting my favourite places of all, Aigner and Tod's. Tod's dah suker satu bag nih, tp later2 la. But I fell in love with Aigner's wallet long ago so I was with the intention of getting a wallet which is medium in size. So when I saw it is still in the store, I went for my lunch. When I came back, it was SOLD!!! I was just minutes too late. Uwaaa. Frust giler. That lady must have saw I was on the verge of tears. Hehe. Tapi ni antara feelings yg tak best la. So I had it ordered from Germany, if it is still available, and i gotta wait a month or so. So gua tgh tunggu la ni.
Pastu masa tu Isetan ada preview sale for members. So apa lagi...Splurge la. It was madness as always. I came prepared. There's no need to look vogue ke apa ke. So far I dont worry bout this if it involves long walks. So I had my backpack to put in my stuff and changed to sandals from heels. The best way to shop is grab watever that you like and try everything at one go at the fitting room. While lining up, initiate small talk with the girls lining up. Oh nice blouse you have there....Where did u find it? ...etc... Tu kalau bosan la, kalau tak nak, just shut up. Tengok org ke apa ke. Tgk kaki org menggerutu tp nak pakai open heels....tgk org line up kat depan u rambut dia ada split end...tgk org tu kulit berj....(tak nak cakap sbb takut dpt lak, tp huruf dia mula pada 'J')...tgk org tu pakai fake LV bag...tgk org tu pakai bag gucci lawa giler tp tak kena dgn wearer dia... I think it's the wearer that makes her clothes, accessories looks nice. Kalau tak kena, mmg tak kena la...
(to be continued)

Just a minute...

Life is great but extremely busy. I'm here just for the sake of saying something. Hehe.

My promotion interview is due on Tuesday. I just hope it wont be postponed again. It's just sucks.
Kok has submitted his resignation letter. I will tell you on that in my next post.
Aizat is out. I'm so happy.
Will be back soon...
