The List.

This year, instead of making resolutions, i decided to come up with a List. A List of the best times i had in 2010. Because 2010 was all about re-eveluating, re-think and realizing what's best for me. = )


Best Vacation
A trip to Seoul Korea with my two friends, Lyn and Tania was the best oversea vacation ever. The city was beautiful, the people was beautiful and the trip was memorable. I have only good things to say about Korea and it's people. You can speak different languages (sometimes it's like cats and dog) but the Korean are always willing to help you with a smile. I went there with almost zero knowledge of their language, but i enjoy every bits and moments there. I felt part of the community despite our differences. I'd say when it comes to hospitality, Korea is the best so far and i have a feeling it will stay on my top spot for quite some time.

Our new travelling friend -Kak Mar!


I checked last year resolution on 2010, i had hoped to go for an oversea trip. Achieved!



Best New Person
This might sound cliche, but yes, i did meet and got to know someone who initially i can say, we have become very good friends. Should i mention her name? She is one of my lawyer colleague. I think it is nice to have her around because since we're in the same fraternity, she gets me, and i get her (sometimes, haha). We also bought the same Padini top, and accidentally wore it on the same day! Lol.


Best Work Related
These past few months, i got assigned quite often to meetings and workshops which was organized at hotels or resorts. That was a good experience for me, because it's kind of nice to get to work somewhere other than in the office. Lol! Although it is also tiring, thinking of the workloads undone at the office and all the packing and unpacking gets a little exhausting now and then. But the best one is that now i am able to go to C*&$%! (i won't elaborate further). I am looking forward for more exposure and experience there. = )

Remember to always look good. Wherever. Whenever. Work with style. HAHA!! (i'm so full of myself)


I checked last year resolution, Q and C is put on hold for marketable issue. C might not be in the plan soon.


Most Inspiring Person
Tn. N is the most amazing and inspring person i ever meet profesionally. I admire his knowledge and skills in law. He was the first person i meet when i first step into the office. The first word he said got me mesmerized because i know too little at that time, but even now as i know, he still amaze me. Besides his knowledge and skills, i admire him for his humbleness, patient and the willingness to help and guide people like me. I think he is a good mentor, and i just wished i had more time to learn from him. The office will not be the same without him in 2011. But no doubt 2011 will be more promising for him at his new place.


I hope in the future i will get another opportunity to work with him. Because it was indeed a pleasure.




Silliest Question
My friend calls this the 'magic question for magical moment'.hahaha! Okay, so how do i put this..It's like this, i meet someone in Labuan from another department, and I had a awkward moment with his superior when he went and said to me pesonally that this person is a nice guy and all, and he's still single, and he likes japanese and chinese looks girl..blablabla..stuff like that. I was taken back by surprise by that statement which got me lingering in my mind for days why did he said those stuff like that to me?


A few days back from Labuan, i meet his superior again. We got in the same lift and there were just the two of us in there. I opened up my big mouth and spill of the magic question! I asked him why he said all that stuff to me about that guy. Hahahahaha! Okay,,seriously i don't know what i was thinking! The question kindda just pops out of curiosity. Literally after i got out of the lift, i scream to myself in the hallway! I admit, that was the stupidist question ever came out of my mouth for 2010. I need to shut my big mouth from now on. Malu juga lah sbb nmpk sgt perasan kot.haha.

I do need to take Hani's advice, i need to learn the art of asking, instead of being too direct. Kahkahkah.


 best gathering-pure happiness on each faces, haha!

Overall on this year- it has many phrases for me. The first phrase was filled with tears (you know, getting own guilt and over someone. duh~). Second phrase involve some drama (being attacked by an ex-gf of somone. Lol! phychopath in the making right there girl). Third part was drama-free (compose myself, staying out of any crappy r/ship, meeting new people, new chanllanges at work.. = ) )


This year opened up my prespective on certain aspect of life including, that sometimes we do get blinded by the people we love. We can't see what we're missing because we're not seeing it. It is only when we put the puzzles together, we realize that how can we not see it coming? But it's okay. i learn to forgive myself and learn that you should not stick around and put up with those who doesn't have the word 'respect' in the vocabulary. I believe in the saying that "you should know what you are worth". Don't stick around when they're not worth it and leave because you deserve better.

Antara calon pengapit aku. tgk2 dia yg kawin dulu..ahaha!
2010 is the year i took to myself. I took the time to be make it on my own, to get to know myself more and put myself together after a few breakdowns. I had a space to myself. Most of the time was spend with my friends which made me realise i have definitly choosen the right click of friends. All those friends that were always beside and behind me, are still now standing with me giving me their support. I cannot thank you them enough for being there for me and help me get through those rough moments.

Despite everything thats happen this year, i have to confess that i have not been such a good person. Better improvement needed for next year. But to say if i regret saying some offended things to certain people? Absolutly not. Another lesson this year, quit taking care of people feeling when they could care less about yours.

The many faces of me,...

 


Anxiously waiting for the days ahead, I thank God for all the gifts of life he's given me. For putting me through all the challanges. For just when my days couldn't get anymore worse, he turned the tables for me. I couldn't ask for more but be blessed. I am at a place now where i could not have imagine i could be when the year started.

I can smile and laugh till my stomach hurt because i'm truly happy. I can enjoy ridicilous love songs without throwing my pillow at the tv screen screaming "lier" (joking. never did that). I can fall flat on my face and get myself up because i'm stronger. And I can have free time without activities-though i don't enjoy it...well, still need to learn the sweetness of doing nothing like the french, like Julia Robert said in Eat Pray Love -"dolce far niente".


Seriously, i can just go on and on telling about my journey this year, but i am going to stop right now because time is ticking and a brand new year is about to start soon. Not to mention, you readers are getting bored reading this, right? Hehe..

You know, Life's too important to think about you have lost, when you've gain so much. So chill guys.

Let's just say, now..

I am doing fine, and better.

Starting tomorrow onwards, I hope i'd be great.


LIFE'S A GARDEN! DIG IT YA ALL!!

Happy New Year.
2011?
BRING IT ON!

Ipoh mai....

Im writing this as im in Ipoh. Sitting at the lobby for about an hour now, still trying to convince my lazy ass to drive about 250km back to the dungeon-Putrajaya. Not that i hate driving, i love driving and singing my lungs out to the songs in my car. Not that i dont want to go back to Putrajaya, i mean i miss my office already and the thought of seeing him. Okay, i miss seing him already. Just that, these eyes of mine,,they can't open. I am  really sleepy and all i think of is lying on my bed, which is after i have a meal of prosperity burger for the sixth times.  

And then, i kindda forgot what i wanted to write about...i did have something on my mind before i started. Crap! Let's recap of the things that have happen in awhile...

1. Last night as i arrive at the hotel, i meet up with Ana. We chit chatted for a couple of hours. It's good to see old varsity friends each having their own path now.

2. Went to court for decision (nothing really happen there, except i kindda saw a few good looking young male lawyers. I wonder if they i'm hot too? Hah!)

3. Friday has been declared as public holiday in conjuction with Malaysia winning the suzuki cup! Funny though, instead of i hear people cheering that we got a day off, i heard lawyers just now fussing about their case tommorrow being postpone to Monday. Haha tak cuti bising cuti pon bising. Honestly, i'm kindda bummed myself, because i already applied for leave tommorrow...i mean where's the fun cuti time orang lain pon cuti sekali kan. Haha.


4. I got into an unncessary arguement with a friend about which burger is better, either bk mushroom swiss or mcd prosperity burger. And the non-sense went further to whether it was relevant that i like eating french fries with tomato sauce. Okay, itu namanya bosan!


Wait for next post. The List.

Who has your back?

I was having a conversation with a friend about him celebrating his xmas at his kampung. He said he bought presents for his grandpa and how excited his grandpa was that he can't wait till xmas to open it. It  reminds me of my late grandpa. I miss him.

I was kin to my grandpa (on my dad's side), because he used to spend a lot of time of our home, back then, in Gombak. I didn't go  school yet at that age except for kelas mengaji, so i use to stay with him in the house. Spend a lot of time talking to him in the living room. I remember we had a really large living room area with plenty of sofas! He spend a lot of his time there.

One particular moment i remember most with him was at this evening. It must be Ramadhan because he wanted to go to the pasar ramadhan. I like to follow him around, so that evening i decided to skip my kelas mengaji so i can go to the pasar with him. We walked, and i dont know how we could have walked there because as i remember now, the distance was quite far. Keeping in mind i was puasa at that day. At the pasar, i said to him i was thirsty, so we went to the gerai jual air and he asked me if i puasa atau tidak. I said to him i tak puasa! hehehe. So grandpa bought me the drink! Wala..batal puasa ku! hehe. Then at home, my daddy asked me why i didn't puasa (my daddy is very very fierce. trust me, i know!). Honestly, i was quite scared but since grandpa was there...i said i went to pasar with grandpa...and my dad terus tak jadi marah! My grandpa always back me up!! Grandpa always have their cucu's back! TREU FACT! I miss those moments bermanja with him.

Sadly i didnt get the change to spend more time with him, because i stayed overseas for a couple of years and he passed away while we were there. But i still remember his tender care for me and the time spend with him. I have never felt lonely and as loved when we was around.  Grandpa, i pray you and i miss you.

If you were still around, i know i dont have to put up with boys that eventually break your heart into pieces, because i have you to talk to, and have my back.

Now nobody in the family backs me up.....

Imaginary Island

Someone who goes by the name of Pilot Yohan introduce me to this video.

It works! (well,,not all the time,,but it helps..)

Stress? try this..the sound of the oceans, imagine you are in heaven = )




Can't sleep? this will sure work...it's raining hallelujah!



Oh wait, are you people working tomorrow? On second thought of that, this might cause you to turn off your alarm and as a result-overslept.

Enjoy you guys,,,there are a lot more relaxing meditation videos on youtube for you to indulge. But the above two are my favourite. Have fun browsing on youtube!


p/s Island vacation plan is cancelled due to rainy season. Bummer!

Zouk

Another hot spot for dinning - at the Zouk!
Zouk Cafe & Bars
This place catches my attention the moment i saw it hips and cool surrounding. I love their dinning area which has inside and outside dining, and the comfy and laid back chairs that makes me wanna take a nap after my meal.

I  should just warn the price is not within your average range. Expect per dish to cost RM25/30 above, and some goes up to RM48.

Despite that, like i always said in my food entries, i dont mind paying for good food, and this is it.

We had....

I ordered Grilled Beef Sirloin
I had it well done with mushroom sauce. The meat was grilled to perfectionist! It is cooked yet still juicy. It is served with baked potato and few pieces of vegetables underneath. The mushroom sauce was fantastic!

Nadia ordered this. The portion of the chicken was huge.


We actually just ordered one of this because it came complimentary with my dish, but we got another one on the house. Hehe.

Nadia with her new hair and her new phone. Her new bf (btw) is not in the pciture. hehe.
So there it is my brief food review on the Zouk! Would i go again? Yes. Indefinitly. I would love to try out their other menus and maybe desserts the next time i dine.

As for me, i don't have anything new except....


A new hat! Like it? = )



XOX
Pretty Happy

Year End

When it comes to the end of the year, many office people will take this opportunity to take a long leave. For those in the private sectors, many are forced to take leave to finish up whatever numbers of leave they still have because they can not carry forward their holidays. For civil servant, the scenario is pretty much the same, since school holidays are due at the end of the year, family people will take this time off from work to go on holiday/spend quality time with their families.

This time for me.

I spend it at the office.

No leave.

Weekends at the office.

Workloads like crazy.

I think December will just fly by without me realizing it, it will suddently be like *ting* 2011. wth??? Seriously, i didn' even realize any public holidays coming, for example next tuesday is Awal Muharam, so many people are taking the day off on Monday. I only realize it on thursday, then i checked my schedule-forget it! I can't afford a day off. In fact, i can't afford any day off!

Dispite all that, i hope i can take a day off just before new year, and spend it in a cosy Island. Pls.Pls.

p/s I am not making any silly new resolutions! It doesn't work on me!
