What a week!

I guess this week is not a good week for me.

Things went wrong since Sunday where I spent the day time, cleaned up the house & cooked for the relatives that would come to the house. However, at 4:30pm D told me that they had canceled coming to our house due to other business. Fine, we have wasted the day time just like that, canceled our plan to go out during the day. I wasn't so mad. I was mad when D told me that the so-called business would be held at nite & needed his company which I think unnecessary. We had canceled to go out during the day, so I expected we'd go out at nite. Yes I was pissed-of thinking of how my Sunday had been ruined. Exhausted and aggrieved.

Then, Monday came. Read my previous post.

Tuesday wasn't so bad though. However at nite, when I checked my email, I received emails from a seller that I had made an online order with, telling me that she was already in Bangi to deliver my item. She didn't even know my contact no, she just emailed me & expected me to read the email 24/7. I don't have internet on my phone ok. She complained about had to wait for more than 1 hour without any response from me & told me if I'm still interested I can pick it up myself. So I guess, maybe the item is just not meant to be mine. I told her that. Well, it wasn't my loss anw. I just want to try the product. She agreed to come to Bangi today & delivered the item to me.

Today, I was so happy seeing a PosLaju guy came to the office with a package for me. I unwrapped the package eagerly. Turned out, the wrong item has been delivered to me. Oh, btw, this is not related to the item above. I bought many things online. Probably the seller has mistakenly assigned the address on the packaging. I have smsed & emailed the seller. Still waiting for her reply.

Oh, actually things had gone wrong since Saturday. Flat tire. Luckily we noticed it before leaving the relative's house.

I need a holiday!

What a day!

Malas nak cite panjang2. Just read the conversation between me & my friend...

me: td kn sy gaduh dgn org kantin
her: nape?
me: td tghari sy & k'mas buat jamuan makan
kitorg amik catering luar
dlm pkul 12 dia dtg anta
pastu org kantin sampai marah2
dia kata personal pun x leh
kene ada surat
sy kata nanti sy bg surat
her: eee..teruknyer..suka hati ler duit kita
me: dia x puas hati gk.. dia kt x bleh.. pastu membebel
tu sy kata abis tu cam na ni
asyik lah membebel org tua tu
siap ckp ada org dengkil kene buang pasal ni
ingat sy takut ke... mcm sy baru keje sini
her: hampess tul ler
mmg teruk gile
me: pastu suruh byngkn dia dah kuar 7/8k sewa.. masuk tender
tu sy ckp sy mmg x rasa bersalah sbb sy mmg x tau
benda ni mmg x dimaklumkn
klu betul lah undang2 ni wujud
her: kitorang wat makan2 pesan dr luar gak..
me: tu lah sy bertekak dgn dia
dia kata dia dah meeting bagai... benda ni mmg betul... personal pun kene ada surat
sy tanya dia meeting dgn sape
dia jwb "ramai" je plak
her: teruk nyer
me: tu sy kata kt dia... skrg ni bukan sy je yg x tau.. semua org x tau.. so u pegi blok 11 tu, u jupe dgn org yg u meeting, suruh dia war2 kn benda ni
buat pekeliling
email kitorg
ada 2 org... sorang tua, sorang lg muda
ceh yg muda tu konon nk amik nama... mcm sy takut nk bg nama
dia tanya sape yg order
her: heheh...
me: sy ckp lah k'mas...
pastu sy suruh tulis nama sy sekali
pastu yg tua tu bleh plak ckp.. "takkan lah 30 40 org personal"
her: teruknyer..
me: rupanya bertekak mula2 tu bukan sbb xde surat ke apa, rupanya dia x caya personal
her: suka hati le org punya duit
me: tu sy kata, check dgn kewangan
sy dah bg nama kn... so check kewangan...
mmg bengang giler lah.... mula2 konon kata kene surat
pastu bleh plak ckp x caya personal
ingat kita ni sengkek sgt x mampu nk bg mkn 40 org guna duit sendiri
her: ishhh..mmg le..kalu yer pun ckp le elok2..
takpun kalu pesan sendiri..kew takkan nk bayar
me: masalahnya dia lebih kpd nk marah2 kata yg ni x boleh
sy plak mcm zombie hr ni... x dpt tido mlm td
mmg ingat nk cuti.. siap call k'mas tanya bleh cancel x

Aku bangun pagi ni dengan eyebag & kepala yg berat, kesan drp tidur tak cukup/nyenyak. Ingatkan lepas mandi, ok... tapi tak gak. So call k'mas, tanya bleh cancel tak jamuan hari ni. Dia try call catering tu, tak boleh cancel plak. Lalu, aku gi keje seperti zombi.

I guess the bad feeling in the morning was the sign that the worst was yet to come. Daripada zombi, aku hampir bertukar kepada banshee =D. Walau bagaimanapun, jamuan berjalan lancar.

Menurut kerani kat tempat aku, hari tu pun ada orang kantin marah sebab buat jamuan tak order kat kantin. Tapi bila kerani tu jawab jamuan tu personal, orang kantin tu senyap je plak. Aku rasa orang kantin tu nampak aku ni muda remaja kot. Dia ingat aku baru keje sini, jd boleh takut2kan aku dengan statement ada orang kene buang keje sebab kes ni. At least 2 kali dia ulang.

Susah jugak jd orang yg kelihatan muda & naif ni... :P

An Example of Babbling

Dear whoever is reading this,

i woke up feeling fat. i think i hv reduced my food intake... & i hv go to the gym, the thing tht i never done before... but i hardly lose weight. my belly swells like a pregnant lady. my weight sometimes get over 59kg. maybe my way is just not correct... maybe i think i hv reduce the food intake but actually not... maybe the exercise even i do go the gym almost frequently, is not enough. or maybe my metabolism drops drastically. look at the +ve side, my weight's still maintained, sort of.

i feel like i want to try crash diet which is not good actually, next week. i'm just tired being in this body. but, heheeee.... being me, i'm just incapable of doing crash diet. i guess i just love eating. who doesnt? crash diet equals to suffering.

i hope u're not getting tired reading complaints about my weight. before, yeah i was so lucky to be somebody who hardly gain weight. i miss the good old days where i could eat like a horse & had no worries tht i'd put on pounds. push off (one of my brit prof in liverpool taught me this phrase) to those who said that i was too skinny. but i guess i hv cross the border where my body couldnt maintain the level of metabolism that i've been blessed with. now, just like most of us, i hv to deal with this weight issue.

i dont hv the option to give up. so i guess, i just hv to believe on the piece of advice in the previous post. got to be optimistic tht i cant go wrong with eating moderately & exercise.

ok, enough babbling about my weight issue. i can go on & on about this. i'm worried, but not worried enough to try harder to lose weight. it needs strong motivation & determination which i'm lacked of especially to control my food intake. see... i can go on & on babbling about this. i just hv to go on reminding myself that i could do it & i hv to do it. ;)

A Piece of Advice

Galaxie: What advice do you have for those who failed to get on the show (The Biggest Loser Asia) but want to lose weight?

Christine: Just do it the old fashioned way, eat moderate and exercise. You can’t go wrong with it.

Sharing is Caring

The other day (the date stamped on the pic), I tidied my wallet & found these receipts - Underwater World, hotel & parking for the Langkawi trip. The pic's not clear though, since I snapped it using my mobile phone.

So, for those who plan to park their car at K. Perlis jetty & want to be ushered to the car park with shade, maybe can call the number in the pic.

Ok lah, to be honest, the motive of the post is to show my new watermark. Nice isn't it? =P Sangat lah takde keja kan, sambil layan Konsert A.F. Alrite, I'm gonna switch to Alien^vs^Predator on TV2 now.

Jalan-jalan Malam Minggu

Last nite, around 9:30pm, D asked me out. It was raining, but still we continued the plan to go to S. Alam. Luckily, when we arrived, the rain had stopped.

So where actually were we going? We went here!

Despite the most anticipated reality show in Malaysia - A.F. was on air live, many people were there (maybe it's not related anw) & the road was quite cramped with cars. I guess if it wasn't raining before, maybe more, more people would be around.

The place was like a little coniferous forest made of colourful decoration lights. It was a fascinating sight!

One of the visitors there told D that the display is only for temporary. Don't know whether it's true or not but it's worth checking this place out.

At 11:50pm, we headed back to home sweet home. Lots of people were still there when we left. A few minutes later, the rain started pouring. I guess, the crowd would be looking for spots that could provide some shelter from the rain. The lighted trees were certainly out of consideration for that. ;-)

Langkawi: Note & piccas from a recent trip

Suddenly, I'm in the mood to write in more detail about a recent trip to Langkawi, instead of just this post. So, here it goes...


First day, 15/2/2010.

From Sg. Petani, we headed north to K. Perlis. We were lucky to be ushered to a car park with shade which only about 100m from the jetty. Took an 8:00am ferry. There are many ferry companies. The difference between them is the schedule.

Mangrove tour~ Love the boat riding & the beautiful scenery. Felt so fresh.

Cable car~ Yay, this time around, I managed to set foot on the suspension bridge.

Second day, 16/2/2010.

Dataran Lang & the places around~ It's not wise to go to Dataran Lang in the morning since the sun shines from the rear of the eagle statue. So, I couldn't snap a good photo in front of the statue.

With the small & only boy (male) of the clans who was so persisted on getting back to the hotel a.s.a.p. so that he could jump into the swimming pool.

The proof that I'm a good photographer. Reminds me of the day where I kept jumping near Eiffel Tower but D failed to capture the action. :-P to D.

Shopping at Pekan Kuah! (No picture though). For those who plan to visit Langkawi to buy low price chocolates, just forget it.

Underwater World~ I think I won't enter this place anymore. Twice is enough.

Had laksa & cendol nearby the airport. The laksa is delicious alrite but I couldn't say it's the best since I'm not a fan.

Lighthouse at Pantai Kok (I had to google for the name of the beach)~ It was very hot but the scenery was so peaceful with wooden fishing boats rested on the beach. I could imagine myself wearing a big hat, painting the scenery on a canvas (if I were an artist).

Last day, 16/2/2010.

Mahsuri Mausoleum~ Not much to talk about.

Bought Co^relle dinner plates - Winter^Frost, at Jetty Point. Somehow the price is significantly cheaper compare to the other HiG branch & Idaman^Suri at Pekan Kuah. Glad that I did check the price here before shopping yesterday. Maybe bcos just 8 pieces left & all of them are in my kitchen now.

Took 3 staff to pack the dinner plates in a box.

We took a 1:45pm ferry to go back. I guess this would be my first and only experience going to Langkawi by ferry, unless if I already were in K. Perlis or K. Kedah. Going by airplane is certainly much more convenient, especially if you have many stuff (as a result of shopping) to be carried on board, besides the shorter travel time of course.

The hotel & the rental car

It was such a challenge to find a hotel with available room since it was CNY holiday season & a last minute decision to stay for 2 nites. My preference was an apartment or a hotel that can fit at least 4 guests in one room.


The hotel is located near Pekan Kuah. Booked the room online via Cuti.com.

The room was spacious. It could fit all 5 of us comfortably with 1 queen bed, 1 single bed & 2 extra mattresses. However, the aircond was underpowered since it was old. We had to turn it on for the rest of the stay so that the room would stay cool. The breakfast was ok but it seemed like no one was around to clean up the dining table.

The rental car was great. In contrast with the room, the car's aircond was awesome.


I already have planned on other interesting places in Langkawi that I'd like to visit if I got a chance to go again. Jom! =D

Tak nampak bayang-bayang.

~9:00pm

Turn on laptop.

Huh?!

4.996!

Stress.
Terbayang roti canai 2 keping cicah kari.
Kan dah kata nak diet betul-betul, so tahan diri (dari memaksa D gi beli).


~1:20am

Show desktop.

Aik?

5.009

Lega sikit.
Still I need to consider, maybe it's about time.
Teringat ungkapan, orang tamak selalu rugi.

Percubaan untuk diet

Konon taknak makan malam. So suruh D beli ni jer kat McD.

Oreo^McFlurry.

Kira orait lah kan.

Nasi goreng tengah hari tadi pun ada lg (as backup). Hehee. ;-)


Note to myself: Mulai esok kene diet betul-betul!

PMS side effect

Aku tengah hangin dgn member aku sbb aku rasa dia over-demanding. I didn't even ask why did she request for more, bcos I was afraid I might raising my voice when I ask. Tengah hangin kan, orang kata baik diam. So I ended up with my own assumption - she has become an over-demanding person.

But being me, I couldn't settle down with my own assumption. Think about it again, she might have her own reason for asking for more. I didn't even ask & give her a chance to explain. She couldn't read my mind, so of course she doesn't know that actually I'm getting annoyed with her. So now, I'm not mad any more. I would ask her directly when I have the opportunity.

This reminds me to another experience. I was mad at my friend bcos she seemed like ignoring my sms after I refused to buy something from her. She was the one who smsed me first asking me to meet her & buy that thing. Since I haven't finish up that thing from my last purchase, so I told her that I didn't need it. But then, the sms mood (sms pun ada mood) changed. Masa tu aku rasa macam dia marah kat aku. Kalau ikut hangin, memang nak tanya dia, ko ni nak kawan dgn aku ikhlas ke, atau nk jual brg? Tapi pikir balik, that's not merely an assumption but more to an accusation. A big no to accuse your friend ok. So I just stopped smsing her & decided to resolve the problem later.

Until a few days later, I received an sms from her. Tapi ingatkan dia salah bg sms tu. Suddenly I felt like asking her directly, at the same time replying to tell her that I thought she had sent the sms tu the wrong person. I smsed her, tanya dia marah ke sebab taknak beli barang dia. She replied my sms, telling me on the other hand she thought I was the one who mad at her & the sms was indeed for me. She explained that she was really busy at that time, she traveled a lot so she could only manage to send a quick reply. Kan dah settle. Kami pun bergelak ketawa di atas kesensitifan masing2.

Kalau nak cerita pasal kawan2 ni banyak... tp malas lah nak taip pjg2 (mcm lah ni tak cukup pjg). Cuma di kesempatan ini, I'd like to express my gratitude for having amazing friends around. Kalau tak puas hati, sound direct, gaduh, pastu baik balik. So far, aku takde kawan yang gediks atau pun attention seeker. Alhamdulillah. We rocks!

Kesimpulannya, aku adalah seorang kawan yang baik (kepada kawan yang baik).

Hahaahaaa. =D
