T-junction

Can you believe it? My luck, man.... surwira, like I said, it's happening for me, I hit bulls-eye on my targets, I dont know which to choose.

Now, that it has happened for me (thank you God), I'm gonna spell it out. I want my dreams.

I wanna catch it. At least come near it.

I want so much to have the Ir. prefix in front of my name, someday be a professional consultant, with God's willing. The only way to it (the way I see it) is to apply for design companies (there is about 10 in the whole of Malaysia) and work as a Process Engineer, at the same time get registered with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

I went to an interview with one of this public listed company with good reputation. Me, puny lil me, with not so much of results or experience attended it, and well, it looked promissing. Hence, I crossed my finger on it.

Then, I sorta lost hope, because I havent heard from them in this 2 weeks. Yesterday, I got a call from another design company asking me for an interview today. And I went.

I sorta have a hitch, "I nailed it". I dont know. It is just a hitch. Well, the Ir. Zakaria (not real name) told me that I will have to work on both Saturday and Sunday. And have to stay at work meeting datelines, he doesnt care how or when but when he wants the design, it has to be ready! Sounds like a military camp, I know, but you know what? I AM UP FOR IT!

Well, here's the time to choose, because 2 hours after that interview with Ir. Zakaria, I got the call from the public listed company offering me the design job I want...

I decided that, I will go to the UK, take a 10 days holiday, clear my mind, and hopefully have the decision of career choice. By the way, the public listed company offered me a higher pay than the other one.

The BEST birthday present EVA!!

Selamat Hari Raya ya'll!! This site might not be updated as often as it did. Whatever it is, you will hear from me by Tuesday, the 8th of November 2005.

Remix me

Okay. I'm tired. But excited. Bored at work. Lack of sleep. Loads and loads of excitement.

Things been running so well the whole week. I'm starting to get a lil scared. It is oh so unusual, in my case.

But yes, accept the invitation.

And, of course, enjoy the ride.

Even if I dont get there, I might have learnt a thing or two from it.

Pour it OUT LOUD!

Dear Tasha,
Hi love.. this year will be special. For you and me and Sufyan and Pres. For Pres have decided to gimme an early birthday present. He said, we will be delivering all the barang2 dapur and raya package to your doorstep. Yes, I know you already know it by now, but heck.. We'll be seeing you and celebrating RAYA cum MY BIRTHDAY with you!! I'm so excited tash, god, I cant wait. These days I havent been sleeping well, thinking about UK. We'll be on the 10am flight frm Msia, and will be reaching Manchester at 4.30pm on Friday, 28th of Oct. I will see you on Saturday, as I am spending a nite at Manchester. Joy oh JOY!! Syoknnnyeerr raya...

Dear Nu,
My long lost roomie, Here I come to save the day.... sayang, I'm sorry to inform you that I will not be able to courier the book I bought for you already, it has been sitting in my office drawer for the longest time. The thing is, to send by courier is real expensive and now that you have moved houses, I havent got you new add. Therefore, I have decided to HAND DELIVER it to you somewhere in 2 weeks to come. I will see you in Liverpool and we can have fun dude!! But Pres will join us, takper kan?? We go nuts nanti okay?

Dear Aboo,
I really nak put you in my lugage and all, like you suggested, akan tetapi, now because of the bird's flu, you might get detected, because there will be dogs sniffing the bags for some reason at the airport. Memang niat aku nak smuggle hang, tapi.. tular...

Dear Sherrie Berry,
I will be an angel and complete thy wish list whilst I'm doing my own wish list completion. Oh how fun it is to be able to live at 7 Totnes Grove, Dartmouth Road, and have pres to walk along that dark alley and scare him like I did. I'll be finding for Donna frm Pronto. And what's the annoying guy who said "oh here comes Trouble and sidekick"? God, I miss it all I cant sleep thinking about it. I dont think I'd be getting any sleep on Thursday. And apparently, the logo of uni dah tukar, and they call our university of birmingham UOB. Sounds like OCBC the bank. But whatever... on my visit, I will also see Hezlin with her ... ehehhehe, so fun!! And I'll try call Abg isy, that long lost brother of ours. And get you loads and loads of easter eggs, if I get to find some.

Pres dearest,
Baby you have been sweet, so sweet my tooth is starting to hurt. My dream's are all coming true! Thank you sayang, for such present. Never have I thought. You are one crazy bloke, but I'm crazy in LOVE!!!

Sudden expansion of news

One
So what's up with Malaysia's political leaders, throwing blames at each other. I was actually laughing at the opposition making fools of themselves on tv last nite. How they were going on and on about the broken Parliament toilet, I didnt know that people can actually have so many observations, arguing about the broken toilets as if it were the public's concern.

For once, I agree with Samyvellu's cinical response to that. It was altogether amusing, and amazing (by the fact people can dwell on the TOILET subject THAT long of a time). If that's what politicians do all day, point guns at each other, well, I think I might wanna be one... then again, nah.. I dont want my children being laughed at for throwing such a tantrum on national tv.

Two
For the past 2 weekends (of the 2 weeks) Pres and I have been watching loads and loads of DVDs, we finally became, not just that we didnt see the point of going out, I cant have my usual coffee-ing session, and that, I find very much essential on all social occasion or meet up with friends. Movies I have watched, let's see, Godfather I (finally, still have got 2 more to go), House of Wax, I Am Sam, 21 Grams, Seven, Crash (very very racist to the point I went sick), Transporter 2, Sky High, Wedding Crasher, The Interpreter. Okay, I admit, I have a thing for Sean Penn, I started my so-called relationship with him after Mystic River.

And I realised, that it wasnt so bad, having to do nothing but watch DVDs after DVDs and then go out to buy food for buka puasa. It is a good way of relaxing, charge up for the up-coming week! Bring it on!

Now, now, the ones I would recommend are:
1- Seven, if you havent watch it (like me)
2- Mystic River, now that's a twisted one
3- Transporter 2 - a lot of action, entertaining, a macho cold dude with no sensual feeling (sad to say, but I find that SUCH A BIG TURN ON, yumyum). And did I mention that I find this movie a lot like matrix only with more sense?
4- Sky High, fun movie, easy going, if you liked the Incredibles, you'd most probably fall for the Strongholds
5- Wedding Crasher - more like american pie cum cruel intention in the beginning, but you never know huh? These guys can go all mushy after all.

Three
Books... been not reading them... I feel so much like a sinner. Gosh. I have been playing games though, loads of them.

Four
My lil kitties will be a month tomorrow, now since it's their One Month's birthday tomorrow, I might as well post pictures, before they grow up and be one of them grey or black Garfields.

Aww... how adorable, so here goes:

Five
My office mate, Sharifah Rafidah gave birth to a baby girl.. and I will be visiting her along with Yaztech's baby shower present! And her lil one is called Qaisara Aqilla... :)

Six
I have decided that I lurve... Nasik Dagang. With lauk ikang tongkol. Oh, yummies... I go nuts for it. And that will be my break-fast meal, at Nasik Dagang Ulik Mayang, on the way to Gombak. Oh, talk about love at first indulgence, that was the case.

Seven
Abang Hasnor, Aboo's boyfriend became a dengue victim when he was diagnosed with it last Friday. However, due to his personnel nurse (I wont have to tell who, u might have guessed it by now), he's all well and kicking. I think he is still admitted at Ampang Putri, but yes.. keep feeding him with the buah kurma aboo, he'll be healthy and **cking in no time (what's the star for? U tell me)

Eight
Slamat Berbuka Puasa, Slamat Hari Jadi to some of my friends, I know somehow, October/November seems to be the month where babies are born, which concludes that people or married couples like having sex without precautions (or plan for a baby) in February! Anyhow, Pres' b'day will be here soon, hence my planning on a big suprise.

Ciao dudes, this must be a stress indicator, me having to write so much.

Hope, dangles on a string

Crossing my fingers, waiting in anticipation.

Everything is business, nothing is personal.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The unfortunate events II

I am starting to think that success comes with a whole lot of effort and probably a hint of luck. My life has probably took its turn and dawn it's lights on me. Whatever my blessings are, I would like to thank God.

I have been complaining about my so-called misfortunes.. unable to have a promising career, always run out of money, how come I studied so hard all this years just to fit where I am at present, somehow God just makes me miss the my opportunities by an inch, always.. somehow I felt that God put so much effort, just so that everything in my life seem so unfair.

Then again, whose is?

About a month ago, I almost died at San Fransisco Steakhouse, KLCC when I choke on a sharp angled nachos. For five minutes, I suffered feeling every muscle of my esofagus being scratch and cut by that moving nacho. Dont laugh, it wasnt funny. Now, I think of it, it probably was.

And yesterday somewhere near my office building, I almost got hit by a car. I could have been hurt, broke a leg or something and at this very moment I'll be lying on my back with one leg elevated, suspended by a springy string.

But nope, I survived it without a scratch. I missed the car by a mili-second.

And today, at this moment, I understand the meaning of Qada' & Qadar. It's just an arabic term which gives means "every cloud has it's silver lining".

I'm hoping, hoping on something that if happens, will make a big difference in me and my life and my social life as well.

Like Sherrie said once "you win some, you lose some".

P/S: Sherrie kasik pinjam Coulson & Richardson Vol. 6 hang kat aku, weih?

And so I fast

This is the time of the year again. So what's all that complaining about?

It's just bloody cutting off the supply of food and water and other penetrable objects into any opening on the body (that's if u have the license to, if you know what I mean?)? And this is only for a few hours. I get annoyed at those who are unable to just take up this challenge. Unless of course, it is for the health cause.

I have my other reasons of fasting, besides it being God's request:

1 - To loose some wait during the day and gain some at nite
2 - To drink more water, somehow this having not to drink in the day forces me to drink more than usual (at nite when I can)
3 - My only chance to quit SMOKING, oh yessh.. what e golden opportunity
4 - Go for all that Buka Puasa Buffet, biler lagi nak ketuk laki?
5 - Dapat balik office pukul 5 and not 6pm
6 - Buka puasa with friends or at relatives

Been doing this fasting for ages now. And it is doing me good, except that I feel sleepy a lil bit this year.

Well, for all that is performing the ibadah puasa, Selamat Berpuasa to all of you!!

You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals.

You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily.
Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings.

On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.
The Three Question Personality Test


C'mon now, try it for yourself. Interesting stuff.

P/S: I want to post my latest kitties pictures. Mama @ Missy gave birth to 3 beautiful kitties on the 20th of Sept. But I was busy. I will find time... once all this tenders are over with!
