Cuti lagi..

Am on leave again today.
Hehe.. macam banyakkk jek cuti aku ni.. When I applied for my leave a couple days ago, my boss asked: "So, ni untuk adik you kahwin ye?"
Me: "Yes"
Boss: (after signing the leave form) "So you bila pulak?"
Me: "Ntah. Soon maybe" (how DO you answer question camni??)

* * *

Today.. teman the bride-to-be pegi dentist, and cari some stuff kat Jusco. Which reminds me, I need to go to Jusco again. Cari pillow cases (the small square ones), maybe get a couple for myself jugak kot hehe..

I still haven't found new shoes, although I did pop into the Hush Puppies outlet at KLCC recently ;) ANDDDD... I saw a pair that I like instantly. The only problem is.. they look way too similar to my current pair hihiihih...
So, the hunt isn't over yet.

Oh yes. I've been eyeing this camera: Canon Ixus i-Zoom. Cun giler.. I've been in love for a few months dah.
Fikir-fikir.. rasanya macam nak beli. Tapi.. bila tengok budget.. hmm...

Tak tau lah. If ada rezeki, dapat jugak nanti :)

Ish.. apasal lately nih..

.. aku cepat betul bengang dengan this someone. Macam suddenly boiling level reached way way below the normal temperature. Apasal tah.

Yesterday was pissed off again.
Rasanya haritu.. cakap lain.
Semalam cakap lain pulak. Tiba-tiba tukar fikiran ke? DAN bagi alasan yang sungguhlah tidak masuk akal.

As if lah people will be watching you sangat pun.
Hmm... heran jugak.
Apa ek alasan dia? Tak ingat.

Hmm.. malas nak ingat and fikir-fikir sangat. Nanti kepala sendiri jadik bengong.

Not worth it.

* * *

See? Dah marah balik bila fikir pasal dia :(

Movies I should've watched by now

Hmm.. let's see..

1) The Da Vinci Code
2) X-Men 3: The Last Stand
3) Cars (should go with Lene and take the boys along.. hmm.. ada masa ke?)

Apa lagi ek? Rasa cam dah lama tak tengok movie..

Hmmm.. Macam tak sempat la. In slightly more than a couple weeks' time, I'll be hunting some DVDs la.. Catch up on what I've missed. Hehhehe..

* * *

On the topic of hunting, I have to buy a new pair of shoes.

Currently, my faithful Hush Puppies are used to go to work, for outings, casual wear... plenty other occassions.
I drew the line at Joy's wedding hehe.. I simply cannot wear those shoes to her wedding. LOLs!
Seriously, I had wear my high heels (which I haven't done in like AGES), and I walked with the grace of 'perempuan Melayu terakhir' awww..!
Yelah, takut jatuh (again!) :P

OK. One more item added to list: "Get new shoes. Preferably 2 pairs"
Adoi, koyak lagi poket.
Hehe..

* * *

On another note (not sure if it's also related to hunting.. hmm...), I think I should seriously think about going out on dates lah. The last time I've been on one was years ago uhukksss... I'm not sure if I possess any know-how on 'datings' anymore.
Hhahahaha!

Parah aku ni..

Wednesday's updates

I'm on leave today. Sent my sis to the facial place (my treat for her), and also teman Mak gi beli some stuff in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and surrounding area.

We also went inside Alina's.
Actually, the intention was.... well, Mak wanted to show me some decorations for bilik pengantin. Of course, me being the decor-crazy girl I am lately, I fell in love with some ideas. Hehehe..

Erm..
We ended up buying some things there. Even tempah some err.. curtain 'backdrop' for the newlywed's room.

Kelakar giler.. Entah macam mana boleh sangkut tah kat Alina's tuh...
But really, I love the beddings there. However... memang lah most of them are suitable untuk pengantin - not for everyday use! Hehe..

Oh yes.. Not sure if I've spelled it out here, but let me just go again in case anyone missed it :)

My sister's getting married. And pretty soon too :D
The wedding will be held sometime in July, and insyaAllah preparation is going on quite well. Most of the big arrangements have been taken care of. Now tinggal the little things la... By themselves, nampak cam sikit je. Tapi bila kumpul semua.. mmm banyak rupanya kena buat. Hehe..

Hmm...
OK tak kalau aku mengada and pakai inai sama-sama dengan pengantin? ;)

Hahhaha!

That's your age?? You're SO kidding me!

I told a new colleague of my age - which is 30, in case you reader are not aware of it :P

He absolutely REFUSED to believe me!!

The IM's went something like this..

Me: Eh btw, how old actually you think I am?
Him: 27
Me: WHAT??!! OMG OMG!
Me: *pensan coz excited* (hahahaha!!)
Him: OK lah.. 37?
Me: Oi no la :P
Him: 47 then?
Me: Yeah. Bingo
Him: OI! :P
Him: OK.. you're anywhere between 25-27. The most you're 28.
Me: No lah.
Me: I'm already 30. Birthday in March
Him: WHAT?!?!??!
Him: No you cannot be!!
Him: You're SO kidding me, kan?
Me: Oi apa tipu pulak. I am 30 lah
Me: Napa? Nak tengok IC ke?
Me: Ok I show you my staff card. Got IC number kan?
(Went ahead to show him. Err, he actually sits just behind me. And we talk on MSN Messenger more compared to actual talking. LOLs..)

Him: Eh cannot be lah. Mesti you tipu HR masa bagi your details dulu. I tak caya laaa!

Hehh..

Boleh tak I happy happy for a while?
Muahahhahahaha!
(Perasan muda ler tu.. ekkekekeke!)

Common courtesy? Maybe not so common..

I've been making it a habit to say 'Thank you' to a lot of people..

1) my parents and family
for a million reasons hehe..

2) my friends
for another set of a million reasons. hihihih

3) the bus drivers
a habit I re-enforced when I was in the UK

4) the cleaner ladies at the office
one of whom I call 'nenek' coz she is one

5) strangers who open the doors, especially at shopping malls
sad to say, Malaysians rarely hold doors open for strangers. Malay guys (sorry, no offence to anyone, but trust me, this is way too obvious for me NOT to put it down here) especially those I've seen around are the worst lot. They more often prefer to let go of the doors behind them (kadang-kadang siap slam the doors lagi!). Nak pandang belakang and see if anyone needs to have the doors open? Jangan mimpi la. Unless they happen to notice that 'the anyone' is a drop dead gorgeous babe... LOLs..
I picked up the habit of holding doors open for strangers at the UK (hmm, and we call ourselves 'courteous'!!)

6) taxi drivers who are willing to take me to my destinations

Hmm.. ramai lagi whom I cannot think of at the moment. Hehe..


For me, saying 'thank you' is a common courtesy - a very simple one.

But I guess not everyone sees it like I do.

* * * * *

Recently I hailed a taxi and asked the driver (a man around 27 or so) if he could take me to KLCC. He said yes so I slided in and said "Terima kasih" (translate: "Thank you") the moment I was seated.

He actually seemed surprised and turned his head to look at me and said: "Kenapa cakap terima kasih? Belum sampai lagi KLCC!" (translate: "Why are you saying thank you? We haven't reached KLCC!").

I was speechless for about 3 seconds and then told him: "Terima kasih lah.. Sebab sudi ambik saya dan pergi KLCC" (loosely translate: I said thank you.. because you're willing to take me to KLCC).
(Oh btw, I actually DID use the word 'sudi' ahahahhaah! Yeah.. It surprised the heck out of me too!)


And the other day I boarded a Rapid Bus (hehe.. the RM2 bus) to work. When the bus has stopped and I was about to alight from the bus, I looked at the driver and said (rather loudly la) "Terima kasih!". I noticed a couple who were sitting near the door just looked at me with a weird expression. Probably they don't usually hear anyone thanking bus drivers eh? Hehe..

* * * * *

Hmm.. I'm not saying I'm such a goody-goody girl, LOLs.. I'm most certainly AM NOT! I guess.. I just feel thankful that someone has helped me achieve something, and as such that person ought to be appreciated.
For me, a simple 'thank you' is sometimes not enough, but if that's all I could afford to offer, then by all means I would definitely say those words.

Maybe common courtesy is not so common anymore...?

Ntah lah..

Two weddings & a funeral

Over the past couple of weeks, I've attended 2 weddings.. and a funeral.

It made me realised that.. this is what life's about. Beginnings and endings. Well, maybe not exactly.. It's more of.. a cycle.

Life's a cycle.
When we think that it's the end of something.. perhaps we must also realise that somewhere out there, someone else is starting something new in his / her life.

To those facing an ending of some sort.. perhaps you should view it as a beginning of another phase, or another era.

To those starting out a new life.. all the best. And just remember.. without passion in life, things can easily get pretty dull (hehe.. some learnt it the hard way!)

Especially to Joy & husband Ki, and Ad & husband Anas.. All the best in your married lives - may Allah's Blessings be with all you newlyweds always.

Thank you..

..to everyone who said a prayer and doa for arwah Auntie Ebot.

Aminn to all your doa.

And thank you again.
