You are a Brainy Girl!

Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests.A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!

What Kind of Girl Are You?

I'd probably poke myself in the eye if the outcome was "Doinky Girl" or something to that effect he he...

Now.....where do I begin?...

Well I am dumbfounded to see that people actually noticed that I was gone *tee hee* Awwwww.....you people (((GROUP HUG)))...hi hi hi.

Sadly, I have no one to blame but sloth(y) me for not updating. Honest to God, workload have been (and still is) merciless. End of November saw the departure of my Manager and the demise of me. My Big Boss know nuts about what she's doing, hence ALL work was handed over to me. The rest is history...I'm breathing Minutes and Resolutions and whatnots. But good news is, I have been making appearances in all the important meetings, so I am seen. Which is good. My advise is sought and my opinions are anticipated. Jolly...

My personal life is going through major changes too....I'm moving house again. I'm going to back to school...again. Weekends are filled with classes *phew* The last one month have seen Hot Papa and I on our feet most of the time. Its work, home, study,sleep, work, home, study, sleep for us. We are pooped really. I need a massage and Another Me, so that the Real Me can stay home and hybernate for at least 3 months and my Another Me can go on with my daily chores....

Fat chance....

And talking about fat......lets not go there on second thought. If I have to lie down flat on the floor one more time so just I can fit into my jeans....wait, I do have to lie down flat on the floor so that I can fit into my jeans...*argh!!*

*think happy thoughts*

My life and Hot Papa's will soon change forever....we're expecting sound of small padded feet around our new lovenest. Part of me just can't wait! I have been wanting this for so long. At last I managed to convinced Hot Papa. I understand his reservations....and among other things, what would people say? I mean yes I can only hide it for a while, but after that?...Gosh, I haven't told my parents. I know Abah would be ok with it...but what about Mama? The last time this happened, I had to 'throw' it away...

But this time, I'm old enough to make my own decision. I understand that one day Hot Papa and I may part ways, but I'm ready for this. Heck, I've been reading books and asking questions and buying toys....what a joy. I can't wait. My little kitten is coming next week! And I'm naming her Odie :o) Hot Papa is acting cool (konon) but I know he too can't wait hi hi hi. Plus, having more than a dozen cats over the years, I need his expertise in scooping out the poo-poo ;o)


Feels oh so good to be back... ;o)

We Are Family

It’s always exciting watching the birth of a new blog. Not that I have witnessed one as of late but whenever I blog-surf, I make it a point to read the very first blog that he/she wrote. That ‘first time’ would always sounded shy and fidgety…

“Ummm, this is my first post and to be honest I really don’t know what to write ha ha…”

TAPI, ha bila dah lama memblogging, amik kau! No more short uncomfortable sentences, but strong, friendly and trusting words started to form…which is a delight really :o) Macam macam ada. Blog sedihlah. Happy bloglah. Funny bloglah…and steady diet of Sewel blogs….like mine hehehehe!

The thing is, with our working hours these days, you don’t even have time for yourself, what more for your friends. No more planned, deliberate lunches with gurl friends. Now, catching ups are done more on ‘stolen’ times. So with blogging, you manage to stay in touch with friends…and not just friends dekat dekat sini jer. Friends all over the world summore. And sometimes, you are much ‘closer’ to people that you met through blogs/blogging….oui? You know what was going on in their lives….who are they seeing, what did they have for dinner, are they happy or sad….things that friends share.

So I’d like to think that the people that I ‘met’ through Frankensteina are my friends. We may not know each others’ real name, but we share our daily lives with each other. We offer our ear (or eyes for that matter) and advice to those who are in need and share joy when someone passes their exam or have a new baby ladida…

And that’s what make me keep coming back here…...thanks peeps ;o)

S.E.W.E.L

Anda tahu anda sedikit sewel dan juga mempunyai masalah bila anda 'memblogging' secara mental di hujung minggu dah tidak sabar untuk masuk ke pejabat untuk melepaskan gian memblogging/membaca blogging anda.

Hari ni saya tergedik gedik membaca blog blog kegemaran saya setibanya saya di pejabat pagi tadi.

Saya juga secara mental 'memblogging' di dalam kepala saya di hujung minggu.

Ya, saya sewel and bermasalah...

Muhahahahahah

Thursday is Friday

Yesterday at 5:45 pm, Hot Papa and I left my apartment and off we went to Uptown. And oh the jam the blardy jam...so after kona here and kona there we reached Uptown in less than an hour. Hot Papa had an interview yesterday and alhamdulillah all went well. Now we are just waiting to be called for the 2nd interview. Only thing that the interview was scheduled to be at 6:30 pm and it actually started at 7:30 pm. I was kind of pissed because dah la its bulan puasa and you are interviewing a muslim. Be a lil bit aware la that he/she have to berbuka puasa. Hot Papa reached there much much earlier then some of the other interviewees but he was called last to be interviewed! *hmmph* Not sensitive at all. Interviewees yang lain tu tak berpuasa, takpe la. Hot Papa came first, interview him ler dulu.

I had my fair share of bad interview experiences, which mostly involved rude/ignorant/eksyen interviewers. Some of them didn't even bother to read my resume before calling me in for interview, resulted in "I'm sorry, you're not what we're looking for". Well if you would have read my resume first, I wouldn't have to drive ALL the way in the rain terkejar sana terkejar sini right? I was also asked in various occasions "Your resume is impressive but do you speak Ch*nese? because we are looking for someone who can speak ch*nese" Oh boy, suddenly nobody speaks English or Malay anymore?

Anyway, the interview ended at around 8, we went to Ikano and had the delicioustest nasik ayam at at the Food Court and we were too pooped to jalan jalan. I sent him back to his house and I reached mine around 11 pm. Showered and I was out by 11:15 pm.

And I thought today was Friday....

Odd One Out

I just found out that those who serve less than 3 months are not eligible to take any leave.

HAH???

"So Kak HR, maksudnya saya tak boleh ambik cut for this coming Raya?

Tak boleh

Langsung tak boleh?

Yea, langsung tak boleh…

Memang tak boleh sangat sangat tak boleh?"

*Kak HR stared at me homicidally*

OH TIDAAAAAKKKKK! Which means I'll be the only one in my department working...what the 'eck?

Ermmm....sapa sapa yang tak balik raya dan berada di kawasan Bukit Jalil, Subang, Kelana Jaya dan Shah Alam serta kawasan kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya sila lah menjemput saya ke rumah...

He he he...but really I can't take leave except the official ones of course :o(

Bummer!

Bend It Like Frankie

So what does a girl do when it's 1:30 am in the morning and she can't sleep?

She put on "Sade Live" and her Yoga For Abs (advance) vcd and bend like a pretzel. I've done Yoga efore but never an advance Yoga before. So I thought "hey, what can be so different from the normal Yoga that I do? Pffftt! I can do this"...

...and 5 minutes later, I was sweating buckets and huffing and puffing and growling *arrrrrr* and I wonder how on earth did she manage to bring her legs there with her hands on there and her head down there ever so effortlessly while there I was gasping for air just trying to lift my leg up??

But hey...brownie points for me for even trying. And I tell ya! Don't let the slow movement fool you. A simple bengkang bengkok can leave you breathless and sweating like an oink. Oyy!

Today despite it being Monday, seems to breeze through with ease. I have managed to clear most of the minutes and now I'm just taking a breather to write this piece.

And most importantly to K.Ana : I have received your e-mail and last two weeks amidst replying a looooooong reply to you, Kapooosh! my pc went blank. Electricity kaput :o( so I'll try and reply to you soonest ok K.Ana? :o)

A lil bit of this a lil bit of that

I have shait loads of work to be done but today my brain just stubbornly refuse to work. Have you had one of those days where you are just plain lazy bom bom that you can't seem to be functioning at all? Where you do nothing the whole day but daydream and 'termenung'? I am in 'termenung' mode today. I have been 'termenung'ing the last couple of hours and quite suprisingly I find it very soothing and calming.....

******

We are having 'Makan Busat' today in the office for lunch. It's Mega Pot Luck Day since we will be fasting tomorrow, so it's time to stuff our face silly. And I'm the Dessert Lady. So yesterday after work, Hot Papa and I decided to make a pit stop at Giant Kelana Jaya to get a cake, some cookies and some jelly. Had almost a romantic dinner until Hot Papa pointed out that we were overlooking a sewer. Eww...

******

The Budget didn't help...at all. Except if you are a civil servant which I'm not...neither is Hot Papa. Honestly I am rather scared of what 2006 might bring...with the rise in prices of things and all. It's difficult to even make it til the end of the month...what more save. And we are not the kind of people who splurge around. Our (only) luxury is perhaps a couple of dvds or dinner somewhere different than our usual mamak hunt. I have a feeling that things are going to be a lil more harder next year and times to come *sighs*...

******

Driving in KL can seriously give me a heart attack! I believe it's in the attitude....and it would make a lil or no difference at all even with heavier penalties imposed. Macamjalanbapakdianakkonakanankakonakirikasignalpuntakbagipehtu

Tomorrow we start 'puasa'...I vow to do good things and be a very good gurl.....for at least one month he he he. To all muslim around the world, Happy Fasting.

Nerd

Interesting...I'm quite a nerd hi hi hi hi.

Your Personality Is

Rational (NT) You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy! Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally. You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals. In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent. At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia. With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well. As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly. On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

The Three Question Personality Test

I lost it

Yikes! It seemed that I have lost my list of my favourite blogs! oh no, what happened?

Decided to change the out look and whambam! all hilang already...so how?

Oy what a day today...what a day

Storm before the calm

This is pretty much how I am/think/feel/in a state of today...

It's dark and stormy where I am now.

No I'm not angry...just disappointed

Which to me is worse than getting all pissy.

Monday Payday Mayday

I was pretty much like this the whole weekend last week. Plonked on the couch, I made the couch my bed, my working table, my dining place...my own lil nest. Only up and about when I need to pee, shower and go to the kitchen. I even get dressed on the couch.

Though I'm happiest lazing around doing absolutely nothing, but last weekend saw me nursing my fever and what made it worse was that my tonsil was swollen so bad that I couldn't eat anything solid :o( Hot Papa was away in his own nest back in his house and I really didn't want to disturb him. I have made him missed 3 soccer games before. So I thought I let him stay home this weekend and watch soccer. I even let my tix for the GP go wasted. I don't think I can stand the heat.

I really didn't feel like coming to work this morning but thinking that I have so much to do, I decided to drag myself out of bed and to the office. Urgh....I feel like there's a knife stuck in my throat.

Today's pay day....and half of it is already gone paying off rent and car and credit card and this and that....but thank god for online banking. With banks opting for closure on Saturdays, I just don't have the time to run to the bank and pay my bills anymore. Which reminds me that I need to get my trusty Satria serviced. Travelling 60 miles ++ per day, I'd probably die standing paying for gas and toll AND servicing. I need to move closer to my office. Hafta hafta hafta! Dah la gaji very de ciput(est)...Kalau macam ni, sampai bila pun tak boleh buat savings. Ayoyo...

I need to get my mind all straightened out and working. I have mountains of work to be done today....If only I can get my hands on some creamy chicken soup....yums.

Rossi

After the meeting this afternoon, we were brought around to see the pit, the paddock and whatnots (sorry peeps I'm not a GP fan) and we stumbled upon this guy. Very polite young man I might say, he called me maam and shook my hand. He has beautiful eyes! and cute curly hair. :) I'm not a Motor GP fan, but I think I met Rossi (correct me if I'm wrong). I was told that he is good...very very good. I hope he wins the race.

Slowmover : I saw the big bikes being hauled up in a truck and I thought of you. Those bikes look so darn cool!

Ich liebe Sie

Love is....no matter how many times I've held your hand and see your face, I still have that yummy goosebumps when I see you coming around the corner with that smile on your face.


I can't wait to go home to you Hot Papa ;)

And have a good weekend to all of you.

Soul Sisters

We make friends…we have friends…we keep some and we let go some

But these are the friends that, no matter what I do and where I go, there will forever be my ‘bestest’ friends forever :o)

Here’s to you Jennifer, Gillian and Aliya…I can never thank you enough for the beautiful friendship.

Kiss and Tell

After Hot Papa drop me off by the stairs in front of my office this morning (and after a series of waving-like-crazy episode by me when Hot Papa drove away. Muahahahah yes I mmg tak malu like that. I don't care what ppl think. I just want to wave my Hot Papa bubbye) I saw an old man dropping off his wife next to where I was standing on the stairs, and before he took off, she kissed his hand and he in return kissed her on both her cheeks before kissing her forehead and then her hand....

I want to be like that when I grow old....I find Malay(sian) men don't kiss their wife enough. I mean, there really is nothing wrong with kissing your wife (be it on the mouth or cheeks)...and no, it's not less macho if you do so. In fact, I find the act of showing your affection to your wife/loved ones is very gentlemanly.

Malu ke nak kiss your own wife? Itu pun nak malu ke, tapi bila nak cheat on your wife, tak malu pulak...lebih dari kissing lagi nak buat. What's up with that my brudder?

Most of the time, we are much nicer to people who we don't care about, whilst being nasty to the ones that we do...perasan tak?

Men tend to confuse love with sex. They think only when they are pounding like Jack Rabbit crazy then it's love.

Wrong. How so very wrong...

Sometimes, the smallest of thing means the most. That lil kiss on the nose or a hug when least expected or a squeeze of the hand.....the things that would make a woman's heart flutter (diamonds have the same effect, but that would be another post ;o))

So go ahead, kiss your wife/fiance/gf.....hug her and tell her that she's beautiful. That she means the whorld to you and you love her....believe me, she'll appreaciate it.

Beauty of the Beast

Do you get intimidated by 'good looking' people? I mean, do you feel small and ugly and worthless in the presence of someone beautiful/handsome? Do you feel impaired standing next to them/talking to them? Or do you feel...stupid and insignificant?

I do...or at least I did. But not anymore....

I know that 'good looking' people have the upper hand in certain things (am I right?) How their good looks do get them to a certain desirable milestone...how they 'effortlessly' get the promotion/the man/the woman/the car/the house/the everything with much ease as compared to the ugly/average looking people like us?....

The 'good looking one' may say "eeehhh where got lah? We all work hard also what?" Yes, I don't deny the fact that you do work hard BUT your 1 hard work probably = our 3 hard works to get the same thing(?) No I'm not being cynical here, I'm just stating the obvious. But there's nothing wrong in using Gods give to get what you want/be where you want...right?

Just that, if I'm given a choice, to either be beautiful or charming or intelligent (not book-wise, but common sense-wise), I'd rather be the latter one(s). Charm has got nothing to do with how you look. Charm is having the flair to 'excite' (not the explicit way mind you) people. Charm unlike beauty is 'unattainable'. You can try your darnest to be 'charming' but if you dont have it, you just don't have it.

Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius. Sad to see that most people these days don't use their common sense enough.

Why this post? I don't know....I just think that 'good looking' people are just over-rated these days. And being hired because you are one is just plain sad.

Slow

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

Drama Queen

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama.Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time...But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you.You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

I know for sure that Hot Papa is definitely going to agree with this.

So I am a bit of a Drama Queen. Who isn't? ;o) Either you're out-in-the-open Drama Queen or in-the-closet Drama Queen he he he he

...I'm a Drama Queen and a Scattery Brain too muahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!
