long entry lor…

lately i have not inspired to pen down my tots… there were many things that happened but my mind was just not spurred to do anything abt it.

however these days, it seemed different. bit by bit, the urge to type the tots out became quite an urge.

like i mentioned, there were many things that happened, but i shall only mention in excerpts of those i deem fit to be penned down.

so pls, my apologies should this entry be long and boring and useless. u can choose to click on the X button on the top right hand corner of the page if u dun want to proceed.

———————————–

i came across an entry by Kak Ju, about needs and wants. i have always been taught that you always prioritise your needs before your wants. after all, your wants ARE secondary. u can still live without them. and u can always get them when you have the excess cash etc.

i do come across pple who prioritise the opposite. well, there ARE ALOT of these pple out there actually.

for example, you just got married and you NEED to settle down with your spouse. you NEED to work out your financials as a famili, you NEED to prioritise your activities etc.

along the way of planning, you may WANT to get a car for the famili’s convenience. then you may WANT to go on holidays just like how it was before you got married.

then in the midst of it all, you become excited and change the WANT to a NEED. you prioritise your WANT list first than your NEED list.

sumtimes i dun blame these pple. there are times, where you have the extra cash or REZEKI LEBIH to afford the WANTs, i.e. a car for example.

BUT what i dun understand is when these pple get the WANT i.e. a car just becos ‘Oh dektu dah ada kereta ah! senang kan dorang? yok kita belik kereta gak. paling murah pun takpe ah, janji ada kereta’

tsk tsk tsk…
bak cerita P. RAmlee ‘jiran ada TV besar, dia pun mau TV besar’ [umwer along that line lah hor]

after spending so much on a car or any other items so to speak, they get bogged down with… LOANS! loans for this and that and those and these etc…

then when bogged down, these pple start blaming… blaming each other for wanting a car when they know that it can wait.

well.. after all, to point a finger at someone is always better than taking the blame for some pple.

for these kinda pple out there, i pray for you. i pray for your happiness and well being of your famili so that you can work extra hard and pay off those loans.

********************************************

i once mistook a late-30s adult’s writings for a 20-plus adult’s.

do u find it an insult? or a compliment?

looking at the positive point, i find it a compliment for the younger adult, as her writing was seen as matured, matured enuf to pass off as a 30-plos yr old adult.

and of cos, very sad for the older adult. such a shame that the writings can be mistaken as a younger adult’s. such childishness… such lame expressions of the mind.

thank God it is in the blogsphere. if it was in the papers or sumting, then its really a shame that the publication company will actually hire such a person.

*********************************************

talking about the blogshere.

the cyber world has always been a nasty place to be part of. especially when in comes to chatting i.e. MIRC era to the current blogging era.

nobody knows who you are. NOBODY. even tho u put up pics etc, NOBODY knows who you really are.

in blogs, you can be talking abt some dream world or fairytale that you have always dreamt about. you can always photoshop your pics to make yourself slimmer and prettier than what you already are.

and of cos, you scrutinize what you want to type and tell to the public.

not forgetting the best part, you can even create a name for yourself, sumting that you find cool and nice, but was never given to you. in short, hiding your identity.

recently i stumbled across a blog. damn hilarious. it was created just for the reason to put some bloggers to shame - more to the likes to Hate-Blog.

i do pity the victims tho. they were criticised right to the bone, just for being ‘themselves’ in the cyber world.

on another note, its damn hilarious to see there are actually pple who dedicate their time to create this hate blog etc. even to the extent of digging up old history of the person they hate and hanging the victims’ dirty laundry in the public.

oh well.. u cant avoid such nitty gritty things in life, cant u? hehehe..

*********************************************

all in all, life still have to go on.
u still got to work to earn money to support your famili and u have to be patient in life as the many many ordeals come by in your way.

what’s most important is to just keep your trap shut and enjoy the dramas… =)

shopping

which woman dun love shopping??
i simply love shopping! i love the ambience while shopping and i simply love the fact that im freakingly spoilt for choices when shopping.

pls dun be mistaken. im not referring to shoping in boutiqeus, shopping malls etc.

i love shopping in… SUPERMARKETS! yes, u heard me right. i love shopping in supermarkets. be in carrefour, NTUC, shop and save, giant… for me, the bigger the supermarket, all the better.

i so love the many many varieties of ice creams, spices, tidbits etc. and ooooo.. the many many cheese and baking stuffs and potato chips and bread and pastries.

so every time we go out to spend etc, i will always drag B to the supermarket under the reason of wanting to buy sumting for my mum or baby. padahal its just to walk around and see all the different kind of food that that supermarket has. in the end, we will buy sumting, but not for my mum nor my baby. it will for my hubby who spotted sumting different and he wanted to try it.

hehe.. so fun right?

oooo.. another place i love to go is Mustafa Centre! really~! but only under one condition, i will only go there with someone, never alone and only after 11pm. hehe.. at least tak ramai orang sangat ah..

the whole place from b1 to 5th level is like WOW!!! aku suuuuuuuuuuukkaaaaa skaliiii! we will always end up buying a cart full of stuffs! hehehehe… and for that same reason, we will always go Mustafa Centre once a month. hehe.. nanti B’s pocket’s lubang makin besar lak.. hehe..

come to think of it… this month lum pergi Mustafa Centre seh!!! dang..

B!!!! tonite ai mai?? =p

learn..

to upgrade ourselves, we should have an open-mind to be able to learn new things…
be it whether it is relevant or irrelevant to your working environment…

but it is not suprising that you learn new things everyday mostly from the place where you spend most of your time at…
as for me, during the weekdays that is, it will be my workplace with my colleagues.

it is much more interesting for me considering the fact that i have a French guy in the office, so alot of new words and things are being shared over the days.

and today, i am proud to share that i have learnt a new word..
(hey! call me suaku or bakward, but it is really the first time i heard it and i bet some of u out there didnt know it either)

presenting the word..

ONOMATOPE
[O`nom´a`tope] - An imitative word;

it derived from ONOMATOPEIA.

The formation of words in imitation of sounds; a figure of speech in which the sound of a word is imitative of the sound of the thing which the word represents; as, the buzz of bees; the hiss of a goose; the crackle of fire.

It has been maintained by some philologist that all primary words, especially names, were formed by imitation of natural sounds.

Origin: L, fr. Gr., a name + to make. Source: Websters Dictionary. (01 Mar 1998)

so there…
the buzz of the bees, the hiss of a goose, the croak of a frog, the moo of a cow. These are considered as onomatope.

so now my question is the deng-deng-tak-deng-deng-deng of a rebana onsidered as an onomatope? =p

gone…

just received a call from the hubster..
conveying a msg that his gd fren cum kolig passed away due to a motorcycle accident..

innalillahiroji’un..

we just met him last friday at his chalet.. to celebrate his berfday..
yah.. he just turned a year older last week and God has called him to be by his side..

altho i dunno the guy personally, zamin has always been very cheerful and helpful..
when hubster was training for a competition at work, he will always come by to show his support.
and he even sacrificed his sleep just to attend the competition on the actual day and support hubster’s team…

hubster sounded quite solemn just now..
he was tinking to request to return early from the seminar in order to attend the burial tomoro..
i hope he is able to make it..
i sumhow really want him to attend to the last moments for his fren..

my heart feels heavy now..
*gulps*
very heavy…

Zamin, for the goodwilled person that you were and the smiles and laughter that you have shared with us, you will be sorely missed.

Semoga Allah s.w.t. merahmati roh-mu.

wadafark!

wadafark part I

the french angmoh bought the Mini Poppers ice cream cos he has been wanting to try.
so off we went to ntuc and bought it..
he shared it with all in the ofis and my senior being the ass that he is, started asking ’so wer shall i pop this to?’

me being the WIDE MINDED one bluntly say, ‘u can pop it up ur… ‘
hehe..

THEN the angmoh said out loud..
there are 2 meanings of poppers from wat i know
ONE is a type of drug that makes u go high..
TWO is sumting u put in your ass

upon hearing that the 3 of us laughed our ass off cos we were having visuals of poppers up the ass!
hehe..

n i tot Mini Poppers was just an innocent name for ice cream… =p

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

wadafark part II

after reading some documentations on some MS products (yet again), i went thru a document that i downloaded some time ago…
it was titled ‘Learn Japanese (in English)’

so there i was, being the good kolig reading the document to myself, when suddenly i had the tot to irritate my senior (as if i did not irritate him enuf already)..
so i began to read the japanese word aloud…

me: WATASHI WA NIHONGO O HANASHIMASEN
senior: (no response)
me: O-GENKI DESU KA
senior: (still no response)

part ni kan aku dah weak sikit.. nak irritate org tapi org tu tak layan.. so i decided to go for a last try..

me: KOOOOONIIIICHIIIWAAAA!

senior: U SCOLD ME ONE MORE TIME I GET THE POPPERS AND POP IT UR ASS!!!

peh terperanjat aku!
lepas tu dia ketawa lah siak!
dlm baik aku nak kenakan dia, dia kenakan aku rabak2..
kong ajar betol!

then he tell me, I didnt know where that came from but that was FREAKING FUN sia! then laughed again

nabehs!
ni mcm peh senior pun ada..

imagine that!

imagine..
having the tots of having a good beginning in the office since you already came in 45mins late.. hehe..

imagine..
to be welcomed into the cool aircond room with those who are already in the office all so quiet doing their own thing..

imagine..
feeling semangat to make urself a hot cup if coffee and rest ur butt on your comfy chair and start your pile of work..

THEN!

imagine..
the moment you walk to your table and the moment you place ur bag in the drawer (ni lum sempat capai cawan pun), the kolig beside you start his pouts of vulgarities “NABEH CIBAI! WHAT THE FUCK! BUNCH OF FUCKERs DAMN stupid fucking idiot no brain’

imagine..
standing there being stunned with such a morning greeting and seeing the beautiful picture of having a beautiful start to morning crushed…

THEN!

imagine..
advising the kolig to take it easy and just take the extra peripheral required to rectify the problem he facing, only to see him storming out of the room emptyhanded…

the moment he walked out of the room, i merely said ‘yah very good morning to you too! thanks for the wakeup morning-vulgarities greeting…

imagine..
when you tot everything will be fine, you receive a message from one of the managers saying that your colleague claimed to not know anything and cannot do anything about the problem. hmmm.. interesting twist of story indeed.. all these when you have advised your kolig to bring the damned peripheral to rectify the problem..

imagine..
you call up your kolig to verify the claim by the manager only to hear that your kolig did it on purpose.. sungguh the sakit hati hor..

SO IMAGINE PPLE!

imagine how i LUUUURRRRVVVVVEEEEEEE (pun intended) my morning today..

oh yah while typing this, imagine this.
you are sitting down quietly minding your own freaking business, when you hear a LOUD SSSSSSLLLLLLUUUURRRRPPPPP!
then another loud SSSSSSLLLLLLUUUURRRRPPPPP.. then another SSSSSSLLLLLLUUUURRRRPPPPP… and when you turn to your right, u see someone slurping his coffee as if there’s no tomorrow..

which then lead you to be pushed to put on your headphones and blast whatever playlist you can click as fast as possible..

hmmm..

did i tell u how i LUUUURRRRVVVVVEEEEEEE my morning today?
sheesh…

randoms

i dun like giving presentations..
i simply dun like the idea of going up in front of many pple and present…
not that i have stage fright… damn if i had stage fright, i wouldnt b winning awards with my Princesses for our performances..

u may say it is different cos with the Princesses, we are in a group..
it doesnt matter really, as long as you have stage fright, you are just afraid to face a large audience..

this time round, i am required to read up another of M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t services, S.h.a.r.e.p.o.i.n.t.
and i am required to do a presentation to alll the HODs in the company..
damn! part reading up is ok.. part nak buat report tu ok gak.. ni nak buat presentation lak..
double damn!

the last report that i had to do (S.e.l.e.c.t l.i.c.e.n.s.i.n.g dari M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t gak) was not so bad lah.. quite interesting..
yg ni abit boring cos the presentation i have to do is those basic knowledge stuffs that the HODs need to know.

but i do foresee alot of unsatisfied faces cos with this service implemented, my team will not be bogged down with last minute requests for folder reation in the server etc. ni semua dorang dah leh buat sendiri and they will be accountable for their own teams.

padan muka dorang..
no more manja requests for IT to this and that for them..
BOLAYAN! hmph!

hmmm.. so maybe it is not so boring afterall eh..
maybe i should impose so much info for them to swallow that they will die ternga-nga there and then.
that will make the presentatiion fun eh.. hehe

=========================================

when the 3 of us get together, we can say that all hell breaks loose.
dari blum kawin, sampai kawin, sampai dah beranak, sama gak..

the eldest will always be bullied by the younger 2…
cos the eldest is always the soft spoken one.
the younger 2s cried when her solmenization went on smoothly, this is after the many hurdles that she had went thru..
the younger 2s were there…. so they knew..

the youngest will always have her way of speaking her mind out..
will always have her share of manja-ness with the elder 2..
works her butt off to get what she has achieved now…
God played many tests on her and yet, she is still strong…

the middle one, is married, has a kid and getting fatter.
hmm.. leading a normal life with irritating pple working as her colleagues.. (atually not pple lah, person)
prefer to just shut up than blast her guts out of anger..

the relationship the 3 has can never be described correctly..
they are more than frens, more than family…

whatever the relationship is, i love you both k..

============================================

my princess has grown an awful lot..
she just turned 20 mths on National Day..
oh gosh she has learnt so much and each time she shows what she has learnt, i look at her in awe.
mcm tak percaya tu anak aku sendiri..
at times i can just sit and look at her from far, just to see what her next antics are..

just the other day we went to an ice cream parlour just to satisfy some icecrea cravings..
we bought an ice cream mudpie and 2 scoops of icecream..
her dad already declared the mudpie all his..
while his daughter declared the 2 scoops of icecream to her own… leaving the mummy curi2 here and there. hmph!

here’s the daughter and her self-declared ‘All Iffah’s’ 2 scoops of ice cream..
dsc00489.JPG

and here’s the father and daughter.. berpakat not to let mama eat the ice cream..

marah

the other day i was watching this malaysisan dokumentari km/j…
mostly showcasing road accidents, deaths due to accidents and all…

in this particular episode, ada satu part that sumhow got drilled in my head..
this guy said..
slalunyer perasan marah itu panjangnyer slama 4 minit saja.. selepas 4 minit, dah patut reda..
tapi kalau masih marah lagi, itu bukan dipanggil perasan marah…
itu kita namakan DENDAM.

imagine driving with full of angst and hatred.. damn dangerous.
i have driven once in that condition, thou it wasnt that bad lah.. it was more angry…
during that time, ur mind has nothing but thinking of what had mmade u angry.
just by thinking abt it, it made u angrier.
slowly u lose concentration on the road and this is when accidents often hapen.

Alhamdulillah, i was aware of the state of my mind and was able to control the angst well. i guess music from the radio in the car helped along in that as well.

i tink i have mentioned about this before, when you are angry, it is best to keep quiet and cool off first before doing anything else.
it is afterall for the best of yourself and the people who loves you…

remember, if you dun love yourself, there’s always others who do.

the saga

recently i read about the complaint launched against H>i>j>r>a>h kindergarten…
nvr once it came across my mind that a well-known ‘brand’ will be entangled in such a mess.
well on another note, im not that suprised oso..

Thia article here seem to catch my eyes.

i have no freaking idea what the hell went wrong between this mother and the school’s management but i found it very disturbing that the school is asking the validity of the mother’s relation with the son.

mmg betol surat beranak tu menunjukkan anak tu dilahirkan oleh orang lain and ber-bin kan nama lain.
tapi tak payah lah sampai accuse of false declaration.
kalau org tu dah sayang anak tu mcm anak sendiri, ditatang bagaikan minyak yg penuh… salah ke?

i have no freaking idea on who is right and who is wrong about the money, the duel btw the mother and the school..
but i do feel for the mother..

walaupun bukan anak sendiri, bila kita dah jaga dari kecik sampai ke besar, dah didik dgn betol, salah ke kita kata itu anak kita?
walaupun anak kakak ke, anak abang ke, tetap anak jugak = ANAK saudara. salah ke?

haiz..
towards the end of that entry, seems that the school wants to sue the mother for defaming them thru her multiply blog.

another twist to this, mana pulak dorang tau pasal this mother’s multiply blog eh?

kesian…
