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.

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 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..
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…

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..

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

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.

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…

yes yes..
for some of you out there, u must be suprised that i am still bunking at my parents’ place.
i dun find it embarassing at all, cos hubster & i do help out in the groceries expenses and the bills etc. so we are not living there for free u know.

Another plus point of living with parents, which some pple dun see, is that we (the newly weds THAT TIME lah) akan ditegur about things that are not right.. takle ikut sesuka hati, mentang2 dah kawin kan…

another plus plus point is, my parents help to take care of the little one.
nobody better to take care of your child but your own family, esp parents. u are ensured that whatever was taught to you will be passed down to your children.

of cos there are minus points as well, but there’s always 2 sides to a coin kan?

ok moving to the main topic..
hubster n i are on the search for the perfect abode for us…
a place we can call our own and design and decide what’s nice etc on our own…
H-d-B always have the bimonthly sale launches that i always look forward to.
and recently, the ones for units in Sengkang caught my eyes.

We went to recce the whole of SK the other day and i set my eyes on this particular area.
its very near the mall, near a primary school, has superarket withing the vicinity w/ having to go to the mall and a park..
very nice.. tho the units there are only executive units.. garuk kepala kejap seh..

and so we decided to bring both sets of parents to go and view the area..
then MIL had to tell me stret in the face ‘jgn amik rumah sana eh’
aik??
lum pergi dah taknak? hmm..

i then found out that my aunt (MIL’s sister) is living in the same area and told her about that area being ‘keras’
aunt’s hubby came back late one night and was parking the car at the multistorey carpark and saw that ‘kakak’ bertenggek nearby him.. aisehman… kecut perut aku dgr…
dats the same carpark that hubster park his car as well!
I AM FREAKING SURE that hubster knows abt that beforehand or maybe he saw the ‘kakakS’ before.
cuma hubster aku ni iman kuat, and more to tak kuasa nak layan benda2 mcm ni.. hehe

i always have this prinsip.. kalau org tua dah suara sekali, baik jgn..
biarlah take a longer time to get a house rather than getting a house that brings us trouble.
i have a kid to think about as well pe..

and so when i tot the search is finally over, it just went back to square one.
next week ada another launch for matured estates.. so i will have to wait for that lah..

actually nasib baik jgk lah MIL ckp siang2..
kalau tak nanti, aleh2 baju dlm aku sidai pat umah baru ilang jer, sbb ‘kakak’ pat sana nak play dress up. =p
