loceng

I found this in my nephew’s exercise book.

The teacher still marked as ‘right’ despite the word ‘loceng’ spelled as ‘locng’..

at the beginning, the spelling was right, but right in the middle, the ‘n’ slowly became an ‘h’.

and finally..there it goes.. ‘locng’…or ‘lochg’ may be?

I’m counting seconds and minutes to reach 5.30 pm. My eyes have been working for the past 36 hours. 6 minutes to 5.30 p.m. there u go, I’ll be the first person stepping out from this office today. Bosses right in front of my cubical, argh..i dun care. I just wanna reach home and rest my eyes for a while.

I shud change my profile info. I’m damn bz these days, it has been a week since I started my new job. well, I enjoy the hectic week though.

Hemodialysis Catheters

she had minor operation for catherer placement at her neck today. she had gone so many operations before, i guess more than 10, plus minus the minor and major. Ya Allah, kuatkan lah semangat ibu ku ini. Amin..

Al-hamdulillah, everything went well. She sounded strong and happy over the phone this noon. She actually asked me to accompany her for lunch. Well, I thought she wanted me to buy some lunch, but she said everything’s ready. Then I said, ‘owh, just wanna c me lar’ (converted into malay + terengganu dialect). She laughed and said ‘ok, I imagine u already, tersengih-sengih’ and of course in her bahasa ibunda. Smalam selamba je dier cakap ganu ngan nurse tu, nak describe pasal rasa sakit kat perut, tapi nurse tu tak paham. Huhu..sib baik ada translator.

Some info to share. Copied from the website.

When kidneys fail, function of the kidneys can be partially replaced using a process called hemodialysis. Hemodialysis involves drawing blood out of the body, filtering it through a large machine that draws off the impurities and then returning the filtered blood to the body. When patients are placed on hemodialysis, they will require placement of a plastic tube into a large vein at the base of the neck. This plastic tube is called a hemodialysis catheter. It is connected to a hemodialysis machine and is a vital connection between the patient and the hemodialysis unit.

Once in place, this catheter is securely fixed to the skin and can remain with the patient for weeks to months. This catheter will need special care and is explained to the patient at the time of catheter placement.

the mother

She was here in KL last week, looked fine except for feeling tired sometimes. I guess that’s normal for old people like my mother. She’s 68. haaa?? She’s 68? Cam tak caya je umur mak aku dah 68. sometimes I didn’t realized she’s reaching 70 already. Al-hamdulillah, she’s still healthy. Despite her kidney failure, 4-times-a-day-dialysis-treatment, she’s still can cook for us, for her 7 kids yang dah besar panjang (bestnyer bab makan2 ni).

Today, she’s in hospital. All I can explain is infection. Not really familiar with the medical term, dunno how to say, how to explain. Well, let’s learn some medical story today.

We knew she had kidney failure 9 years ago. I was in final year mmu. I remember she was so skinny and looked so different. Like someone else, totally different. n I can still remember when we were at the hospital, waiting for the result. I stared at her face, n said to myself, ‘kesiannyer mak aku ni..banyak betul penyakit dier..’

To be continued…

I spent my last 5 days in the hospital sultanah nur zahirah, kuala terengganu. Arrived there Saturday morning at 3.30am. took a nap, and visit my mother at 7am.

Number 1, I had to extend my stay at the hospital.
Let go my car to my sister and nephew for them to drive back to kl (with a full tank of fuel!)
Cancel my firefly ticket (not refundable)
Took 3 days emergency leave

In return, i got business class mas ticket to kl (with my mother) and spent time with her in the ambulance. Huhu. The best part was to see her smiling in the aircraft. Dat was her first time in business class. Owh, she liked the comfortable chair (ya la..compared to economy) and she gave big smile when the stewardess passed her the face towel. Ahahha..so cute..but I know, deep inside, she was fighting with the pain, with the tiredness. Semoga Allah cepat sembuhkan penyakit mu..Amin..

i surrender

I’m not a big fan of celine dion. But I do love her performance in las vegas. I had the love-at-the-first-heard-and-watched moment when I saw the video clip of ‘I surrender’ broadcasted on the display lcd television at jaya jusco balakong. I was so falling in love immediately and stood there for a while. Or may the sound system made me ternganga depan tv tu.

I asked the jusco guy whether they sell the cd on the shelf. He said no. a bit frustrated, but I said to myself; it’s ok, I will find the cd someday. so positive of me, huh.

As the time goes by, I forgot about celine dion until today, I had lunch (owh btw, it was nasi padang selero negori, and I had nasi tambah!) at amcorp mall. While waiting for my colleagues, I stepped into the music store. Gatal sungguh kaki ni masuk dalam kedai tu. then I remembered about ‘I surrender’. found it! Bought it for RM39.90. puas hati aku! Pasni aku nak play the cd again and again sampai naik muntah.

Naik meremang bulu roma aku dengar puan celine nyanyi ‘I surrender’. naper la budak2 reality show kite takder yang bole remangkan bulu roma aku ni.

foods

I had too much food last week. My parents were here and all I did was eat, eat and eat. Mom’s cook is a heaven. I think everybody agrees to that statement. But I dun know abut me, I dun really cook. Will my children say my cook is the best for them? Emm, I doubt it.

I had lunch at Paddington House of Pancakes. My first time. It was a set at RM13.80++. Cheap, huh. Drink, main dish and dessert. The taste was worth every cent and ringgit I spent.

Then we had nasi kerabu, keropok lekor, chicken chop plus more foods for the family at ulik mayang, ulu klang. Nasi kerabu was ok, but chicken chop was definately ko, I mean so so ko. My brother had sup ekor and daging masak merah. Both were out. Father had mi sup. Also out. Takper, bukan gua yang blanjer pon. kuikui

60 earth hour. I was from the air port, sending the old folks home. Right after maghrib prayer, I rushed to putrajaya, to catch the lights off moment. I’m not familiar with that area, I was just hentam and gamble which road to go. N there we were, me and my sister, caught at the traffic light, just 50 meters from the ministry of finance building. I missed the moment. Cibai! (oops) but I heard the hot fm deejay announcing for the lights off and silence.

The cars were already lined up along the bridge (cable bridge?). all I got is this video. The video in the dark.

p/s – I was wearing the 60 earth hour tshirt all the day. Rasa cam berlagak cool jer.

Frustrated for the earth hour moment, we headed to alamanda for makan-makan. They, as in my sister and my brother (both are elders) pau’ed’ me for sushi and famous amos cookies and ice cream. Cincai la, since I got the bonus already (owh btw, just fyi, I’ve paid the deposit for Honda city!). again, wa melantak tak hingat.

t-shirt & speed test

I tried to get 60 earth hour tshirt. It was sold out! Hopefully I can grab one (emm, may be 2) tomorrow. New stock is coming tomorrow after 3pm. RM30 each. RM5 will be contributed to WWF (Malaysia). i think this is great! Earth hour is great! Let’s help the earth breathe peacefully, calmly, smoothly etc. it’s like either u opt to help the earth or u encourage the global warming. So, let’s switch off the lights for one hour, and help the earth to breath. Lights-on means that u vote for global warming.

ok, another story. i am so addicted with this speed test. Got it from someone else’s blog. Someone that some-other-one hates her boyfriend so much that happened to be the some-other-one’s ex boyfriend. as some-other-one's closed friend, i do hate him too! (alamak, terlebey sudah!).

Typing Test

Thanks to mirc! I kind of practiced the typing skill when I started using mirc years years ago. I was addicted to that thing, made me skipped the classes, missed the pop quizes sometimes. but, i did have a good thing - i met someone that offered me a t-shirt printing business. it was quite a successful story. Anyway, just enjoy speed typing!

one to five

It’s difficult to start writing, but once u’re in the right track, the words just come smoothly, without thinking err..err..and err..the beginning part is the hardest challenge for me. Sometimes I want to talk about this, apparently all I have in mind is just about that.

1. untuk ke pertama kalinyer gua naik monorail. It was so excited, first time la kata kan. But it was a bit cuak gak la, aku tengok rail dier cam tak secure sangat jer. i saw a group of teenagers, they're in 14 or 15 may be. 2 couples and another extra girl. emm, what was that girl is thinking when 2 of her friends wat keje (i mean, mesra2 alam, peluk2, bisik2 which the gap was like 5 milimeters to each other) while she was sorang2 kat tengah, doing nothing! kepochi nyer aku ni..
2. I have 3 lamps that need to be fixed at my apartment, and this bloody uncle promised me to fix that. I set 2 appointments with him, he screwed both of them. Just now, he just screwed the 3rd appointment! He deserved to hear the ‘f’ word. Puas ati aku. Ohw btw, bukan aku pon yang sound the ‘f’ word kat dier, aku hire orang yang bersuara garau dan macho.
3. why some of the taxi drivers got to choose where they want to go, I mean once the passengers bumped their asses, the taxi driver needs to drive to where ever the passengers want to go la kan? last week, we had to wait till the 3rd cab that saying ok, lets go to jalan sultan ismail. Cibai! (oops, is this really me saying this word?) We were at jalan imbi. Ke sebab dekat sangat? eh, mana bole pilih2 kan.
4. r u going to participate in the earth hour campaign? Emm..1 hour without lights from 8.30pm - 9.30 pm, 28 march 09, where ever u live in this world. Just switch off ur lights for 1 hour. Simple, isn’t it? Yes, I’m going to support this campaign. I’ve signed up the campaign in the website. http://www.earthhour.org/. let's sit in the dark for 1 hour! standby ur torchlight, candles or even hand phone, just in case.




5. last Sunday i join my friend’s group playing badminton somewhere in kg baru. started from 11.30 am, finished at 2pm. Then I continued playing at my office, from 6pm, finished at 9pm. Macam nak traning uber cup jer aku rasa. Whatever. My point is, gua pancit la. Lack of stamina. I played with most of them are in their late 40s, but I don’t know where on earth they got their energy. Owh ya, my other point is the word pancit. I googled and guess what. Yep, it does have another meaning. Check this out;

Pancit or '"Pansit"' is a stir-fried noodle dish common in the Philippines of Chinese origin. This food is second in popularity to rice in the country, and is similar to yakisoba and yakiudon, Japanese-style stir-fried noodles.

i tagged myself

Nobody’s tagged me. Of corse, not. No one knows the existence of this blog. If they do, they do not know who’s the owner. gua nak syok sendiri, tag kan diri sendiri.

10 things that u may be do not know about me;

1. I hate my current job. u might know this by reading my profile. But u dun know the reasons. There’s only 2 reasons; 2 of the bosses and the projects
2. I’m anti ants-killing. If I found an ant in the toilet, I will use the toothpaste tube to help it escape from that place, escape from floods! When I was small, I used to think that lopak air tu kind of ants’ version of the sea.
3. I could be over sensitive sometimes. I cry easily. Even for happy moments, sad moments tu lagi-lagi la kan. even when i read sad stories or watch sad pictures. tapi ramai yang ingat gua takder perasaan a.k.a stone.
4. I arrange my clothes clippers based on colors, and tone sometimes. light blue, blue, dark blue.



5. I count number of clothes every time I wash (or technically dump them in a washing machine). I have a limited hanging space, taking into account the gap between each clothes, I can only do 8 clothes per wash (exclusive of the small item)
6. I like to memorize cars’ plate numbers. Normally those at my office and apartment parking. I can easily recognize somebody’s car.
7. I do scuba diving but I don’t know how to swim. That’s normal though, isn’t it?
8. My first ;
   § perfume - elizabeth arden (arden beauty)
   § travel – perth
   § dvd series – alias
   § hp – motorola
   § crush – cikgu roslan, when I was in standard 3!
   § hard rock tshirt – madrid
   § hard rock visit – bangkok
   § movie in cinema – mrs. doubtfire (english), ringgit kasorga (malay)
   § cassette – ella 30110.
   § original cd – air supply. After all, the only original cds that I ever own are siti nuhaliza and backstreet boys!





9. I read the da vinci code until page 30 only. That was in 2006 and d first english novel that I bought. First and last (so far) malay novel that I bought when I was 16 or 17 and it was ahadiat akashah’s. my 2nd attempt to read a novel is the diary of anne frank. I tried to find the statue of anne frank during my trip years ago, I didn’t realized the statue even I've crossed in front of it few times, because the statue is so small. She was 13, of course I cannot expect more. emm, I wasn’t thinking much at that time ;)
10. Most of my friends (high school, college, office, housemates) said I’m a kerek girl at the beginning. Minah ni sombong la. Yep, I’m not denying it. But I dun know how to overcome this. I think, the natural look of me memang dah serious, unfriendly, hard to smile etc. BUT, once u know me, I cud be the craziest person u've ever known.

should i?

Should I or shouldn’t i? should i? shouldn’t i? I dun know wat to decide. Should I change my car? can I cope with the extra monthly commitment? It was all started when a friend of mine looking for a 2nd hand car for her brother. I was thinking, ‘alang-alang ada orang nak beli ni, baik jual jer’. and it happened that, aku baru jer usha honda city yang they all dok tayang kat ofis aku ni. dat made me more interested to let go my 7-years-old-wira-aeroback.




Truthfully, new car is not my priority, I was thinking may b after I settle down, got more members in the family, sampai kete tu dah tak muat nak sumbat hamba Allah n barang-barang, then only I transform the car into mpv ker, van ker, lori ker, bas ker..or anything that is bigger than current car, it’s just that the offer came may b at the right rite. May be la..i thought my car is at undervalue, surprisingly, it’s not! Lagi la membuak2 perasaan ni nak let go.


Extra rm300 per month. Emm, for me, that is tight. Annual increment is not certain this year. Some say no increment, same say just a little. What do I need to cut down my expenses? Let’s list down;

1. less travel (that is so so harddddd). Just found return air asia ticket to Melbourne for only rm934!
2. less dvds – this is my favorite activity nak membiakkan lemak2 dibadan
3. iron ur own clothes – I hate ironing. no more once-a-month-cleaner at my apartment. Talking about ironing, just got to know there’s a sport called extreme ironing. nanti kite citer heh.
4. basic skin care only – no serum, nor eye cream. Biar la mata ni lebam pon. Or may b downgrade my skin care products, which i’ve downgraded from skII to biotherm (yep, I should boycott america’s product)
5. do not change hand phone regularly. My Nokia 6600 slides was lasted only for 4 months before I switched to Nokia E71. I’m a loyal nokia fan. Should I boycott as well?
6. find a way to terminate monthly yoga club since aku tak pegi dah over 6 months kot

what are my other monthly commitments?

1. parents
2. apartment
3. car
4. land (yang aku sendiri pon tak tau kat mana kedudukan geography nyer)
5. insurance
6. yoga club (dah 6 months aku bayar bulat-bulat without utilizing even one of the facilities)
7. utilities - all the 3 A's - air-api-astro, mobile and fixed line, maintenance etc
8. office clubs - kematian, kesukanan, kekerjaan (just to lengthen the lines)

looks like not-so-tight-commitment, huh. but who knows, behind the list, there are so many more hidden agendas every month, all those ad-hoc things need to be tackled, which sometimes become uncontrollable, contoh nyer - pembelian tiket secara besar besaran dan tidak rasional. travel every 2 months? emm..that won't be an issue if all the travelling expenses are supported by the employer.

Luckily I’m not a kind of fashionable person, no make-ups, not a shoes nor hand bags fan. I just got addicted to traveling. Lets blame mas travel fair, matta fair and all the air asia promotions. Simple thinking, I can still maintain all the small items, but let go the traveling. If I’m done with traveling, hidup ku akan aman tanpa bebanan bayar itu ini or beli itu ini.

After typing all the above, the chance of selling off my car is down to 30%, coz i love travelling more than anything!

cibboi?

i found this restaurant during my trip last year. that word sounds similar with cibai, bahasa pasar or bahasa mencarut orang melayu. but i dun understand, wat with the question mark?

dekat2 ngan cabai pon ada gak kan? cabai a malay word for chilli. east coast people call cabai as lada i.e lada besar, lada kecik/lada jarum (cili padi)

anyway, i googled both cibboi and cibai. didn't find anything special about cibboi. it's just a name for a restaurant. but it is different with cibai. i know that cibai is something like sial (or siol - rasa cam takder la kasar sangat bunyi nyer kan?). but it does have another meaning ghupe-ghupenyer. cek this out - i copied from wikipedia

Cibai adalah kata makian yang wujud di dalam perbualan sehari-hari di kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Perkataan ini merupakan perkataan Hokkien (bahasa Cina: 芝屄, POJ: chi-bai) yang bermaksud faraj namun telah digunakan oleh kebanyakan kaum lain di Malaysia melalui pergaulan antara berlainan etnik.


Selain membawa maksud "faraj", cibai juga bermaksud "sial". Ia bermaksud demikian ketika seorang merasa marah atau kecewa dengan sesuatu kejadian. Cibai juga turut digunakan untuk merujuk kepada perempuan di dalam perbualan pada kebiasaannya di kalangan kaum lelaki.

Cibai turut digunakan bersama perkataan Hokkien lain untuk menambah kemarahan mereka yang menerima makian. Berikut adalah gabungan antara perkataan cibai dengan perkataan lain:


Chau cibai - bermaksud "faraj busuk"
Cibai bin - bermaksud "muka faraj" atau bahasa kasarnya "muka puki"



do not give me wrong interpretation on why i paste this in my blog. take this a knowledge - as what i did. well, at least if someday say that word to u, u know wat it means, n u know wat to do.

still excited

The excitement of reaching the summit of mount kinabalu is still fresh. Still can’t believe I did dat. Seriously, I was there. I didn’t upload my picture because I’m just not ready yet to expose myself. This blog is still within me, frens do not know that I’m writing in this blog.

How much that I spent for this trip?

Flight ticket - 319
Mt kinabalu package (1 nite lodging, 2 lunches, 1 breakfast n 1 supper) - 290
2 nites lodging (kundasang & kk) - 60
Transport (4 days) - 180

Equipment
Headlight - 30
Batteries - 13
Raincoat - 8
Mask - 10
Shoes - 70
Socks - 10
Food/energy bar - 15

TOTAL - RM 1005

I spent extra, unnecessarily things ;
socks pacat coz memang takder pacat pon - 9
kasut-konon-nak-pakai-tapi-tak-jadi - 50
nike socks – sayang nak pakai sebab kaler putih - 15

TOTAL - RM 74

'this is the easier part'

Just to share my 2 cents for those who are willing or planning to climb.

Bring ur backpack as light as possible. Just pack these in ur bag;

1. 1 tshirt – u gonna need this during the night and the day after
2. 1 pant/tracksuit – also during the night, untuk tido n just in case hujan, bole tukar suar lain la.
3. Headlight, gloves, raincoat, socks, tooth brush, toothpaste, jacket, chocolate (2 bars are enough)
4. Mineral water botol kecik tu dah cukup sebab dalam lunch box dah ada 1 botol

Bear in mind, we need to spare the space for lunch box provided by the agency. It contains sandwiches, a piece of chicken, 2 pieces of popiah, 1 mineral water (500ml) and a can of 100plus. It’s quite heavy.

p/s - a can of 100plus at laban rata is RM5.50!

Just for the record, I carried 6kg of my backpack (inclusive of lunch box) which I think I could go lighter than that.

U really need to distract ur mind from thinking ‘adus..penat nyer..’, ‘ala, biler nak sampai ni’..kind of things. Do ur own activities, step counting, imagining things, recite zikr etc. my sil gave very useful and helpful tips to me. Everytime u climb up, always look down (the ground or ur feet, maybe) and walk in a zig zag line. At first I tried to push to the maximum energy, walk and climb as fast as I can and take the rest. I can feel my heartbeat was running like hell. When I tried the zig zag method, the breathing was getting so much better and I could walk non-stop!

tempat kitorang smayang biler dah sampai exit gate.

i did it!

i did it! i managed to climb mount kinabalu. i joined my sil's school expedition to mount kinabalu, kk. Coincidently, I was studied at the same school (secondary). Got to meet ex-teachers, catch up the old stories. Some of them are so different, especially men with grey hair. Out of 65 students + teachers + outsiders, only 40 of us who dared to take the challenge of mount kinabalu, the rest just did window climbing and shopping.

There are 2 trails which are mersilau and timpohon. we (as in only 6 of us, out of 40) chose to start from mersilau and went back tru timpohon. We knew that the distance is 2km more than timpohon, and the trail is also more difficult. But mersilau has nicer view along the trails.

we started around 9.30 am, we really took out own time, enjoying the view, lepak2 kat air terjun, borak2, d pictures of course..penat camner pon, gambar mesti menten..and we reached laban rata around 6.30pm. it was a 9-hour journey! Laban rata is 2.5km from the summit, kind of a pit stop before we continue the journey up to the summit. Mersilau to laban lata is 8km.

1st 2km was hard already hard for me, constantly up, like naik tangga tak berenti2..continued with flat track, pastu turun bukit plak. After 6km of our journey, we reached laying-layang, the intersection of timpohon and mersilau. The last 2km was constantly up again, this time it was a bit slow for us, the energy was at the last bar already.

At laban rata, we stayed in a dorm. the place is beyond my expectation. When I heard the word ‘dorm’, all I have in head is uncomfortable. The bed, toilet, food. But I was totally wrong. The facilities are just great and clean. I cudn’t get much sleep though, may b I was too thinking about the next journey to the summit.

We woke up at 2 am, had a little supper. The traffic was a bit slow, as most of us started at the same time. It was dark (that’s why we need a headlight), cold and windy…and sleepy. Again, we took our own time, no pictures this time (gelap + sejuk maa), tapi masa rest tu, gua sempat baring2 atas batu, tengok bintang..cantek giler ko! Rasa nak tido pon ada gak.

To motivate myself to continue walking and climbing, I did my own activities, with my head and my heart. I did step counting, from 50 and rest, 60 and rest, 70 rest again..and suddenly the counting continued up to 150! Owh, padan la..flat track. Kuikuikui..n dun forget to praise Allah for his creatures.

As the sun was about to rise, we (as only 2 of us. the other 4 dah kat blakang) reached the summit! And my nephew (he’s studying at the same school) shouted to me ‘mak busu..perempuan pertama yang sampai!’ bangga siot..tapi pk pk, ala, pompuan yang ada pon budak2 skolah jer..ngan cikgu 2 orang..sah sah la kitorang sampai dulu, cikgu dah tua, budak2 tu too young la sangat..

Going down the track was a bit easier than climbing up. lalu ikut timpohon tu btul2 testing my leg fitness, asik asik la turun bukit..busan siot. We've got 2 certificates, those yang ikut track mersilau dapat extra certificate, yer la, track yang susah dan jauh, mesti la special.

no preparation

i took the risk of not doing any fitness or physical preparation. oh btw, i'll be flying to kk tomorrow morning (wednesday) and start climbing mount kinabalu on thursday. i had the intention to jog (since last month), well, at least to keep the stamina, but it was all ended up with spa q, hanging out, makan itu ini. luckily i play badminton regularly, hope that will help me. just fyi, this is my first time mount climbing!

i have the checklist, but until now there're still numbers remain unchecked.

1. raincoat - my fren bought for us, RM10
2. gloves - need to find the water proof one
3. headlight - my fren bought for us, RM30
4. battery (for headlight) - pls find 4 pieces of AAA battery
5. extra socks - bought a pair of nike yesterday, RM14.30 after 10% discount. i'm not gonna bring the brand new anyway, will use the old one
6. socks pacat - suke2 ati aku je kasik nama. RM9
7. hiking shoes - sayang la nak pakai nike running shoes aku, it's white. nanti mesti aku malas nak basuh, so i need a new one
8. jacket - done
9. skimask - fren bought, RM8
10. hat - done
11. sunglass - done
12. sunblock - done
13. face towel - done
14. tissues - wat is this for? anyway, it's done
15. plastic bag - done
16. energy bar - food hunting today
17. panadol - done

did i miss anything? hopefully, i'll come back safely. just in case i didn't, sorry to all.

10 things i learnt in class

i learnt something extra in my class so far (after 3 classes)

1. sitcom is actually a short form of situational comedy.
2. soap operas is named after d soap manufacturers (i.e. procter & gamble, colgate-palmolive, lever brothers etc) being the main sponsor in the early days of the show.
3. different between United Kingdom and Great Britain is Ireland
4. the high peak of halim othman's life and his bad attitude
5. part of DSAI's political story
6. parkson failed to survive their convenience stores
7. tesco bought over macro
8. macro's operating hour started at 6am in the early days of their empire. stupid, huh.
9. malaysian always directly translate malay to english in their conversation. 'me too' shud be used in positive statements only.
10. i hate my current job! - this is so not related with the topic

parking

we need to compete. we need to compete to grab the best dress, rite size, nice color during sales season. we need to compete the best man (since the population of women is greater than men these days). we need to compete to be the boss's favourite, best workstation, best project at work. and guess what, i need to compete with other drivers to get parking lot at my office building. the parking is on first come first serve basis up to 588 lots. whenever i come late and no more free parking for me, i have few other options;

1. park at the open parking space. pay either RM5 or RM7 per entry coz difference place different rate. there are 4 spaces in front of the building. 2 of them charge suke-suke ati mak bapak dier where at noon the rate is automatically down to RM4. aku rasa kalo time ujan tu, maunyer dier turun lagi sampai 2hengget! or langsung tak yah bayar!

2. part at the covered parking lot, RM2 for the 1st 1 hour and RM1 for consequence hour.

3. park along the road in front of the building and get ready to collect ur summon at the end of the day coz it is favourite place for JPJ officer to issue the summon ticket.

i go for option no 2. well, at first i go for option no 3. tapi biler dah byk sangat koleksi saman aku, i switched to no 2. i only leave my car for 2-3 hours. then i go to free parking. this is what's normally happen.

it's hard to see 10 petak kosong or 5 petak kosong. mesti 0 petak kosong nyer la. so i wait..wait..and wait..masa ni la dok sebok2 texting frens, call my mother, play sudoku, see picture in my hp gallery..wait again..again..wait wait..until..

tadaaaa...1 petak kosong..baru la gua bole park kat dalam..

*##%$&*!

stupid! wasting my time! bullshit!
i lost my entry..fucking laptop! budus!

u're fast

i was just being brainwashed, motivated about the job here. it started when my boss was talking about this lady who used to be his assistant, he was her 1st boss when she started working here. n now, she's up there, sitting in the VP's room while he's in his AGM's semi-room. he said that she has the whole package, she talks right, she writes good, she's fast, and even she's got the look! (well, looks really help..really) and the list continues with she has this and that. nak dijadikan cerita, she was my 1st boss when i started working. i did not deny every single thing he talked about her coz i know they're all true. she's the best boss i had so far.

back to me, stop talking about other people okie..as i put in my blog profile, i hate my current job, i don't have passion of what i'm doing rite now. for the first time in my working line (7 years so far), i felt like..'aduss..malasnyer nak g keje..' it has been going on and off for 9 months already. so, i decided to step outside this circle, start usha'ing' vacant post in other division. i sent my career profile today to this division, which headed by my ex-boss, that i was talking about in the above para. hope she'll buy that.

back to my boss. he talked about his passion, how he likes his job, which made him turned down few better offers to be the GM (i'm 50-50 to trust this part). then he started commenting about me.

'When i talk with A about u (A is another boss here, whom i used to work with), we came to the same thinking, we think that u're brilliant, u hv d brain, how u c things, and u're fast. Seriously, u're fast. But, u're lack of touch, in the sense that, u can't influence other people to accept ur idea, ur approach (mesti dier nak kondem presentation & communication skill aku ni..). or may be u shy, I dun know. We want to keep u in finance. Kalo u tak suke keje u skrang, u tell me, wat do u want to do, let me help u. give me ur 3 priorities. ok, aper u nak buat sbenarnyer?'

aku dengan bodo bodo nyer jawab..'i dun know..as long as not a project basis like what i'm doing rite now'..argh...i feel like i'm a total loser!

but the best part is, dengar puji-puji ayam tu..btul tak btul is another story. moral of the story, to those bosses out there, kadang kala tu kena la puji staff..rasa la kembang semangkuk sket..sekian..

not so perfect brother-sister relationship

i had to cancel my so called valentine's plan after i received a call from my sister-no-3 that my brother-no-1 a.k.a the eldest in the family (i'm a sister-no-4 and sibling-no-7 a.k.a. the youngest in the family) was admitted, suspected dengue. the age gap between the eldest and the youngest in the family is 20 years. just like dato' ct and dato' k ;) saje la nak menyelit..oh, btw, al-fatihah to late dato' ct's father, en taruddin. sedey aku tengok gambar ct nangis dalam blog sultan muzaffar. and another btw, i'm ct's fan, i even had dreams about ct..besfren abes tuh!

ok, back to the original story. the moment i received order from my sister to visit my brother, i was like..'emm..what am i gonna talk about?'..commercial break jap. my sister just ym me, my brother got pneumonia, not dengue..dat day when i was in the hospital visiting him, luckily my niece and my sister were there (yes, the same sister that i've been typing since the first sentence of this entry). so i got accompanies to lepak2. i didn't even ask my brother 'camner, ok x rasa? blood count baper?' and all those standard questions to the patient. after a while, he asked me..

bro : dah drop mba ker?
aku : ha??!! (terkujat gak aku tetiba dier tanya kan? so x expected..) mba?
bro : mba senang la..naper la leh drop out
aku : err err..kire cam cuti la..cuti dulu

and that was all the conversation during the visit..i was not even babai him when i chow.

the truth, that's normal for us and that's not rude for us. we're just like that. i guess, dat happen because of the huge age gap. even i'm damn proud of him, i can't even show it, can't express it. to me, he's my mother's favourite even according to Che (we call our beloved iron-lady-mother che..the first time my fren heard i call her che, she asked the stupid question..'apsal ko panggil mak ko mak encik?' ) emm..amoi, pls continue about ur bro..ok ok..to me he's the most successfull amongst us..he's the most handsome amongst bros..yep, die ensem..well, at least, he's my type..kuikuikui..

i remember when i was 5, i was admitted to the hospital for 3-4 months..susah aku nak explain penyakit aku ni, tapi gua tak bole berjalan beb..baring je..the moment aku bole berjalan, giler pening siol..he accompanied me..and i remember he said 'kalo nak abg y teman, n kena makan tauge ni' i hate tauge! so aku pon pulun la jugak tauge tu..when i was standard 6, he gave me a swatch for my 4a upsr. every school holiday kitorang lepak umah dier..when i was in university, aku tompang dier balik uni, the best part is, dapat duit..masyuk masyuk..

recently he sponsored my diving trip to sipadan. dah keje bertahun2 pon mintak org sponsor. tq to our technology today, sms really help me on this. i started texting him to bodek2 about sipadan. surprise gak biler dier reply sms aku. tot tet tot tet, dapat la sponsor..that was just part of the whole story about him. yes, i'm actually proud of u bro.

to my bro, i'm proudly present u and ur disease..mr pneumonia

mr. correct correct

correct-correct is my previous boss's favourite word. at first i tod that was ok, may b he uses that word only for formal conversation. when we agree with other people's stament, we said that. malangnyer, after i've been working with him for few months, i realised something is wrong with that correct-correct. it was like suke ati mak bapak dier nak pakai time2 biler yang dier suke. so, i started sok sek sok sek with my colleague.

aku : eh, akak prasan tak encik a (his name is not started with A pon) tu slalu cakap correct-correct kan?
akak : a ah (sambil dier gelak2)..akak pon prasan..tapi buat derk jer la..

and then she started her story telling about her correct-correct conversation with encik a..memang funny and tak kena tempat..

not long after that, encik a came to us..

aku : encik a, encik a dah tengok lom report yang saya anta ari tu?
encik a : correct-correct

btul tak aku cakap? memang amat la tak sesuai dengan soklan aku tu kan? aku memang dah tak sabar nak gelak, tunggu dier chow je..

and in another conversation. me and encik a were assigned to go somewhere (work related, of course). he was so beriya-iya nak check in sama2 so that we can get seat together. i called him.

aku : encik a, saya cek in kat kl central tau..
encik a : correct correct..
aku : nanti kalo encik a cek in dulu, encik a bitau la seat number baper. kalo saya cek in dulu nanti saya bitau seat number saya..
encik a : correct correct..
aku : ok la encik a, nanti inform heh..
encik a : ha, yer lah..correct correct

?????!!!!!!

i had a dream but i can't remember and i hate that

i love when i can remember my dreams and story them to my frens, regardless they like to hear it or not. but at this moment i really can't remember wat kind of dream i had last nite, but i knew i dreamt of something. let me try to recall. wat was it? oh gosh! i knew i knew i knew..but what? [aku dah start menongkat dagu, mata straight kat depan. ala, nampak plak muke mamat-minyak-itam yang aku tak gemar sangat ni..] but still can't get the clue.

forget about last nite. last last nite i dreamt of these 2 guys tried to steal my fren's beemer. me and my fren and another fren of his [tak la complicated sangat kan?] went to this shop yg jual2 i-dun-know-wat-we-call-it..it's like a shawl [i think dat was exacly shawl..not like like anymore ok]..tapi tak keysa la kan, d point of the story is the car, not the bloody shop, or the damn shawl. he stopped d car n didn't lock and kept the engine running some more! and there goes 2 gangster kampung dusun came with a baseball bat [tapi ni metal based la..kaw kaw punyer]. they warned us 'kalo korang tak kasik aku curi kete ni, aku ketuk dengan besi ni!' we had no choice. they called tow truck [sempat lagi tuh!] to get the car and they chow. i tried to chase him (i was the heroin of the movie maa..of course la kan..the gangstarz kampung dusun guy again attacked me with his only weapon, the metal bat and toing! i woke up..sib baik..kalo tak, tak pasal2 aku kena ketuk..

there's the beemer (it was black actually), and the bats..n there u go..the gangster kampung dusun!

welcome to me

i was inspired (inspired? emm..) by reading one of the zillions bloggers, non-stop a.k.a marathon during my office hours. yep, i've not concentrated (and not concentrating) much on my current job. it's on project basis, btw. i blogged before, and i stopped. on wat reason? emm..i was too busy with my work at dat time. the-parasite-moment is named after one of the episodes in private practice. so parasite of me, huh. the same goes to nothing-to-talk-about, also the episode in private practice. 2nd time parasite of me, again.

wat to talk for my 1st entry? seriously, i dun know wat am i thinking rite now. alrite then, i guess this is it. this is my 1st entry. i stop here. full stop.
