Enjoy the pics ppl... all are taken from Ady's camera so TQ...

Our theme for the night was Go Green, so our attire had to be Green and Black with a touch of Gold...

tukar camera man.. minus Arif, plus Sharul...

Haiza & Hani before entering the ballroom...

Our table was number 9... Green drinks to match the theme... wasn't sure what drink it was but it taste mostly like Lychee tawar...

Ady testing his photography skill?

that's our menu and our candle.. didn't manage to snap the inside of the menu but....

i managed to snap what i ate... like what i mentioned here, i liked the vege most... not yummy but more like mmmmm.....

wasn't sure whether to post this pic or not to avoid any nightmares for you, but then i thought, why suffer alone =b the Erra Fazira Dancers *stab my eyes with a fork*

the pointless catwalk... posted this particular pics cuz the girl on the right is Sherally from MRM...

Azura by Arif... at least he has the guts to sing in front of a crowd whereas i don't so i applaud u...

Our sector's performance... they danced to a medley of a few songs.. MRM who performed where Sangeetha, Paavitha, Sandy, Teck Yee and Boon Tze...

Very entertaining but maybe a bit too much of this part.. Regardless, 5 thumbs up to them especially Boon Tze for being so sporting.. reminded me of Sam during our MRM Annual Dinner...

wale-wale... ermm i mean Aci-Aci Bukak Pintu... they even had the hantu as well....

i remember the name of this performance as Transformation or something but the most fun part was Nawal (Ady's fren) dancing.. cute gler but kesian tudung tertanggal jer... tp still nk dance gk hehehehhe

dat's Nawal on the right in orange n black sleeves....

the dikir barat won best performance... wasn't really concentrating by then cuz it was 11pm already n my sisters n mum was already waiting...

Fabulous Night, Emotional Week and a Good Relaxing Weekend..... (part 2)

i feel so tired, i just wanna sleep today.... anyway, continuing from the previous post, would be the fabulous night i had on Friday.. fabulous ke? ok la gak, it was the annual dinner and was a fun night indeed... i'm gonna snoop around later for pics to 'steal' cuz i didn't have a camera, n my bb pics are a lil low quality cuz of the lighting... so the day started off rather normally.. i did some testing on the new system and there was minimal differences about 0.01% so that's a huge accomplishment.. just hoped that the other products would have the same result.. when office hour is done, we chilled a bit before we changed.. as i didn't manage to buy something new, i just wore my old clothes.. the days out with my sisters when i planned to buy something didn't really result in anything except for THEM BUYING NEW CLOTHES INSTEAD OF ME... hahaha motif nk capitalise sumer?? so we changed n got ready for the night... i followed kak suzy and haiza n hani followed wahidah.. ady was wif sharul n aja xgi... luckily there was one seat left kt meja hani, cepat2 gi msk n cari meja 9 after sign in tu... so at the table was ady, me, haiza, hani, wahidah, sharul n another 4 ppl from ORM i think..

the event opened with the boring part, speeches from the top management.. luckily it was kept short cuz i was already starving.. then the opening performance was by some bunch of boring dancers called Era fazira Dancers if i'm not mistaken.. u see, if u're supposed to be a professional dancer, u're standards must be a bit higher.. i'm not sure if they have other events to perform at, or if they lack the time to practise, but i dun really appreciate the whole performance... the steps were too simple for them (which didn't stop them from messing up) n they didn't do a whole lot of entertaining by being there.. they just made me feel worse of having to endure it... ok, maybe i'm being too critical as i might've compare them to other professional dancers from shows like So You Think You Can Dance (not the malaysia version) and also American Best Dance Crew a.k.a ABDC (remember Jabbawockeez or Quest Crew or Poreotix?? well if u haven't heard of 'em, try youtubing them n watch them perform.. now that's what i call entertainment...) so after that was dinner time.. we knew the line would be super long for the buffet so we decided to have desserts first instead.. they served bread pudding which was ok.. n only after dat we had dinner... i took spaghetti (not that yummy), lamb, chicken n fish (all so-so) n some vege (surpricingly the thing i like most on my plate) it was steamed brocolli, couliflower and carrots with butter/white souce (ntah la tp sedap).. was thinking of having a second serving but was already stuffed...

followed up was the Maybank Idol performance.. arif from MRM was one of the participants... i think as a competition, they should filter the contestant (that's what the previous audition was for rite?) n maybe have only 5 ppl competing instead of 9.. i dun't think they'll have a tough job at that cuz they all sound...erm.. different?? hehehe so it felt like ages before all the contestants were through, n i thought the best performance was by far one from some datuk, mainly cuz he sang an oldies n it was the most soothing song amongst all...it was a bummer that he didn't win tho...then there were awards to be given out for those who serves maybank more than 10 years, 20 years n even 30 years... papa only made it to 20 years.. still have the gold thingy to prove it hehehe

next were perfomances by sectors.. there was 4 altogether and i'd say the most entertaining thing of the night... there were dancing, sketches etc.. then prizes to the lucky draw winners were given out.. i won the consolation prize which was a flask... ok la buat kenangan hahahaha then the top management had to perform 2 songs, n they announced the winner for Maybank Idol... i didn't drive dat day despite already having a car, n i didn't thought of getting a ride from anyone so i told my sisters to fetch me up later... with how the night went, i told them to come at 10:30pm, but then there were the performance and things got a lil' more interesting n suddenly it was already 10:10pm.. i texted my sister to tell her to give me a call before they're out of the house but turns out that they were already on the way..

another bummer for the night was dat i made them wait for an hour in the car (sorry sgt2, i noe waiting is such a hazzard) n i only left when the Maybank Idol sang another round *ears bleed*... i found out later that there was another performance after that where the CFO played the drums n the CEO sang (well judging from the pictures, it seemed like it).. so pics will be up soon... managed to curi some from ady, n will try to filter later... penat sgt.. these couple of days has been tiring in the office dat i dun have the time to update here n too tired to update at home... anyway, hope everyone have a great weekend..

today is actually 19/11/2010 so we're one week behind... will be going to the Zoo tomorrow for CSR... hope that'll be fun...

Fabulous Night, Emotional Week and a Good Relaxing Weekend..... (part 1)

nk blaja buat static entry from hani... tukar date under post option tu ker?? huhuhuh anyway, am looking forward to a super long entry but might just cut it into bits for ur easier n happier reading (happy ker?)... so where shall i start? perhaps from where i stop before? ok wif u? so here goes....

so i just had to go back early last thursday, knowing that my precious is waiting for me at home (pics will be up soon, but in the meantime, sila google).. tried to go out sharp but was delayed for about 5 minutes.. standard la tu... papa didn't picked me up with my car, xpe xkesah pon... on d way tu, managed to asked him a bit bout how he picked it up n all.. got home n i see my precious!!! finally!!! hahahaha had to contained my excitement cuz Dr ade kt seblh n her daughter dh lamer ade keta so might not be so biggie (only child ok) so i just had a big smile on my face n touched my car a bit... eceh hehehe so anyway, after 3 nights of tahlil for Pakngah, papa had another tahlil to attend to that night (his jogging fren's wife passed away Wednesday morning), and we thought of having dinner outside.. mama wanted to go to Tesco to buy some stuff and was thinking of having dinner at Santai.. then i told her that papa said if we went to OU, we might as well browse for a new TV (the one at home dah nak rosak.. pic sumer kuning2 n datd ay jd blue) so we dicided to eat at Santai ttdi instead n maybe later head off to OU... mama was craving for mee hun sup or something so dat's why we went there instead of going to OU for dinner.. we reached there n it was quite full.. we were waiting for the waiter there to clean the table, when my mum saw some fish leftovers n thought mkn nasi n lauk pon best gak... so instead of mkn simple2 n maybe pay a max of rm30 for dinner, we ended up eating a lot n paid a total of rm63 instead hahahah ikan masak cili tu je dh rm34, n ni utk 3 org mkn.. or maybe 2 stengah la cuz izad mkn sket...

we ordered ikan siakap masak cili, tom yam ekor 2, kangkung goreng small, ayam masak merah small, n telur dadar big..rasa macam ade lg tp tu jer kot... anyway, since we ordered a lot, the food ended up coming abit late la n we finished eating around 9pm.. we didn't have time to go to OU so i texted yaya n asked her if she wanted to go back now.. so we drove of to Ampang Park (siap salah jln lg tu, n mama n izad ckp sy pkir dh xbtol sbb bwk keta baru hahaha) izad did mention that she wanted McFlurry later cuz she wasn't that hungry kat Santai.. reached Ampang Park n picked up yaya, n was on our way home... dh lagi sket je nk sampai rumah, izad kat blakang tgh baring tu tiba2 jer bersuara "mana mcflurry sy?" hehehe totally forgot about dat, so kluar blk ttdi to head to McD Centerpoint tu...reached there, n to our horror, it was under renovation!!! where on earth are we gonna drive thru mcd now?!?!! heartbroken je izad hahaha tp skejap jer.. cuz while i was driving back, after passing OU, something suddenly popped.. "errmm... nk Tutti Frutti x?" hehehe n mama dah senyum.. set!! Tutti Frutti it is then... yup, that's the 3rd time this months =s i can't control myself huhuh

we reached there n they didn't have the small orange cup anymore.. i took Green Apple (yummy), Passion Fruit n Pormegenate.. total was 30 something, so we managed to spend about 100 on food that night (as though that's something to be proud of).. reached home, n watched Gossip Girl.. i really really super really think that Chuck n Blair are getting engaged this season woot!! woot!! they're so cute together.. i'm sick of serena, i hope she gets minimal screen time as possible cuz she seems to be falling in love all the guy in the world (or at least the show, except for Rufus, Eric n maybe Chuck..) anyway..... i think this is long enough already... will continue tomorrow aight...

Boom Baby.. A-ha a-ha a-ha

a round of applause if u can name what movie that line is from =D

so if u think i got excited when the guy from Perodua called to tell me that my car is here (woot!!), imagine how ecstatic i was when my mum posted WUL 7568 on my fb page.. double Woot!! well yeah i officially, for real n physically got my car today!!! *do the noodle dance* my dad went to pick it up just now i guess, i ask him later.. i still havn't seen it, havn't hug it.. havn't kiss it... i don't even have my fingerprint on it.. hahaha over gler... tau2 =b so yaya will be out to karok with her frens, n i'll be picking her up later in my new car weee.. nervous la plak...

Were u this excited when u got ur 1st car?

Not Patriotic Enough

how would u feel if someone said (or maybe accused) u of not being patriotic? honestly i wouldn't really care.. i'm not really sure how patriotic i am anyway.. i do love my country a lot.. if i had the chance to choose which country to live in, i'm not sure what i'll decide cuz even tho i've lived in other countries before, i've lived in Malaysia the longest... so there's not really anything i could base on to compare.. but i'm sure this country is a nice place to live in.. u just have to try to ignore some idiots that makes unnecessary noise every now n then..

so anyway, how do u judge a person's patriotism? does being in the army force prove that u're patriotic? n if so, not being in the force will prove u otherwise? this was a remark made by our Ministry of Defence (or was claimed to be made by him, cuz he denied it).. it's one thing to point this out, but it's another to drag the race issue into this as well... i try not to be racist at sometime (cuz what i learn from the late Kak Min, is that we need to understand one another) n i try to mirror this of her.. we were born this way, n when something is embed in you from a younger age, it becomes a prt of you.. one thing may seem logic to you cuz u belive it, but it won't to others.. n that's how it works.. although, i have to say that everyone is racist in their own way.. as a malay with chinese n indians frens, u might say something racist, n then say "but not u, cuz u're different", but in reality, cina tetap cina, melayu tetap melayu... so insulting a race would generalize it all and everyone in that category should be included... haishhh meroyan plak...

anyway my point is that i totally disagree with his statement... i don't think that the reason why there are less non-malays in the army is cuz they're less patriotic.. i mean even when we're kids, the most famous occupations are doctors or lawyers or any other 'glamorous' jobs that usually result to big paychecks.. out of 10 kids, how many do u noe really wanna grow up to be soldiers or such... oklah, i noe dlu abang n isa nk jd askar, but then isa wanted to be everything including a chef... then how many of those who did wanna be soldiers, actually register as one? abang didn't (at least not yet).. he's taking IT in some university (either Unitar ke ape tah)... actually the only person i noe who is towards being a soldier would be Adi bf shikin.. and i'm looking at a Malay point of view here... what makes the non-malays think any different than us? owh yeah the fact that maybe only Malays can get promoted easily? well who's fault is that? theirs cuz they're of different race?

sometimes i look at all the ppl who's leading this country n think, whut does it really take to be one of them.. maybe not intelligence, but more of hypocrisy or ignorance or the love of power and such... if only there was this humanity-o-meter that could tell whether a person is sincere n honest and really does take the job to better improve the country and what not.. i'm sure most of the jobs will be empty cuz most aren't really eligable.. but then again that's just me... if such a thing would exist, the world wouldn't be the way it is today... there will be no such thing as war cuz we could tell who's evil n could just locked them up till their meters go down (or up, any way is good) crimes will get lesser and lesser by the second.. n this world would really be a better place to live in...but that's just wishfull thinking rite..


maybe it's cuz we dun get to kill as much people as the Americans do?

Death Unite Us

it's been a long weekend, i'm super exhausted (have i never?).. went back to PD on Friday n Saturday... then papa got a text from Aunt Gee saying dat Pak Ngah Talib is in DSH again.. at first i thought it was one of his usual check up routine cuz we visited him several times before through out his relapse.. so we head back that evening n went to the hospital straight away... i was shocked to see Faris, Khair n Azim reading the Yassin.. i saw Pak Ngah n he was so thin, n i knew this was not his regular check up..

i'm not sure if he'd taken any morphin at that time, but he seems a lil' out of space..falling in and out of sleep i supposed.. then a few other family members came n we hang out till before Maghrib.. we went back to freshen up, then cuz papa n yaya didn't wanna follow us, mama, izad n i went to Ayob for dinner.. then mama dropped us at DSH again where papa was... Pak Ngah looked a lil better then.. he was holding his phone, n even asked for papa's hp num =) so we chilled there for a bit n went home... the next day, we sisters skipped the hospital.. mama had class n papa went to DSH.. we were actually thinking of going to OU to go shopping for my dinner outfit but we didn't have a car so we spent the whole day at home playing Sims off course...

then, along came Monday... as i mentioned earlier, i had to sign some agreement papers for my car, so i already took a day off... but that morning, right before 6am, mama woke us up telling us dat she's going to the mosque to look for papa cuz Maksu Wati called to let us noe dat Pak Ngah wasn't doing very well n Mak Ngah was crying.. so i might need to send Yaya n Izad to work.. then Izad wanted to follow mama.. yaya got up n got ready for work n when she's done showering, i decided to get up early n after sending yaya to the station, i might drop by the hospital later... i was in the shower when mama told me to send her to DSH cuz she went back to pray first... so to keep this short, i sent here there, went back to pick up yaya n she said she took EL, so ok, then we both went to DSH.. when we arrived there, Pakngah's eldest sister was sobbing... my heart began to hurt then... Pakngah looked so weak, exactly like how Tokcik looked the day he passed.. it all happened so quick.. Kak Ana came a few minutes later n Abg An whispered something to Pakngah... i guess there was some dispute previously between them but it all didn't matter now.. then the nurse came in to take his blood pressure.. then i saw Izad shaking her head as a no sign... mama said that they noticed he stopped breathing or something like dat, n the nurse came just to reconfirm.. then the doctor came to announce the time of death which was about 7:30am.. my heart sank when i saw Makngah n Tokcik..

the rest were making plan on the neccessary.. we went for breakfast later n head home.. Aunt Gee called later to say that no one was at the hospital to accompany the jenazah so they asked if papa could be there... papa n i went to DSH later n the ppl there were preparing the jenazah car to bring pakngah to the surau at Selayang... i drove Makngah to selayang when all was settled... i didn't noe what to say to her that could make her feel better, so we drive in silence.. when we reached there, a few other realtives had arrived.. at around 10, the jenazah arrived at the surau.. DSH didn't mandikn jenazah so it had to be done at the surau.. we went to the surau, bacer yassin n sembahyang jenazah.. then we head out to the cemetary.. same place where arwah tokcik was burried.. n the way there was still the same.. road in bad condition with burned cars on both sides.. but when u reach the top, there's this beautiful view waiting for u with a lake n all... it's kinda like a metaphor, there'll be no upside without a downside.. go through the bad n only then u'll see the good.. whutever..

work was done quite quickly cuz when we arrived, they were already half way done.. it help that it didn't rain that day.. cuz during arwah tokcik's burial, the soil was hard to shovel, so it slowed things down.. can't really recall how arwah uncle baje burial went cuz it was raining heavily... even an umbrella won't do u no good cuz we were soaking when it was over... everything went smoothly, thank God.. when the burial was over, we said our prayers n even sedekahkn Fatihah to Tokcik.. den we went back to selayang and i ate nasi lemak AND roti canai... i was hungry ok so don't judge me =b had my appointment delayed to 2pm, so my dad n i head back to TTDI.. papa was hungry n didn't noe that there were food at selayang so we went to Mosen for papa's lunch n straight away head to Perodua TTDI.. it only took several minutes, even less than 30 mins, to sign the docs.. it help that i didn't read anything n just signed away, but papa was there, so i think i'm covered... when all was settled, we head back home...

sempat la sambung maen sims blk tu, then showered cuz kenduri tahlil will start after Isyak.. got ready n went to Selayang.. just like b4, org surau mentioned that we dun need to prepare dinner for them, so they just bought some food for relatives... Izad had nasi ayam n shared with yaya.. i had, erm.. nasi lemak... owh wait, make that TWO nasi lemak.. yes, i ate A LOT.. n again, don't judge me =b anyway, read Yassin later n hung out for a while... we went home early n will be going again hiopefully later today (if sempat la), we'll see...

how on earth did Arsenal lost to Newcastle n the Red beat Chelsea?!??

Two days in a row

was not a good idea.. mainly cuz i had the same flavours i ate the day before.. should've waited for next week when they have new flavours... whut am i talking about?

Tutti Frutti off course... too bad that Zain's franchise is in Bangsar instead of TTDI, otherwise i'll be doing him a big favour heheheh it's so convenient to go to the one in TTDI n i dun feel like driving 5 mins just to get some froyo, especially when it's tkae-away... anyway the above flavour was from the previous day.. i took Green Apple, Strawberry and Kiwi.. didn't like Kiwi that much so when i went again last night, i only took Green Apple n Strawberry... my fave flavours so far are Grape n Green Apple... super yummy... even mama pon sker... senyum2 bler kitorg bwk blk hehehe but last night i bought ourselves the small cup instead of the medium size we usually take... baru la blh dpt 1 cup less than rm8 hehehe

Owh got some good news this morning... MY CAR IS HERE!!!! woot!! unfortunately i'm already at work today n tomorrow is a public holiday, so i'll need to sign papers and everything else on Monday n will only be getting my car then... what a bummer, to think that my precious is just a few blocks away from me but unable to get it... owh well, at least the salesman kept his word last week (finally!!) when he said the car will arrive next week.. i hope i could get a day off, otherwise MC je la kn? *cough cough* can't wait, can't wait, can't wait hahahaha why do i get the feeling that a new fb profile pic is coming soon.. so anyway, i'll be going back to PD (xoverseas mcm org tu =b) hope that everyone will have a good long weekend ahead.. Happy Deepavali to all...

cheers

Best Chicken Rice in the World. Period.

forget about the Chicken Rice Shop... or maybe Singapore Chicken Rice that i loved so much... forget about Linda Onn's My Mum's Chicken Rice (or sumthing like dat).. n u should definitely forget about KFC Chicken Rice (sgt xori ok)...

what u should be looking for would be The Best Chicken Rice in The World made by my mum (trying not to use Linda's shop name here, but it literally means the same).. i tried to make it once or twice when mama was away for umrah or haji, n the results was ok la (i pandai masak k... just jarang jer hahahaha) so i went home last night to a very delicious meal.. too bad i was full yesterday, so i didn't manage to eat as much as i'd like to..imagine i had mee hun for breakfast, then yee mee goreng for lunch.. bought goreng pisang, den went back to eat nasi ayam.. see how stuffed i was...

couldn't wait to it so this was a quick snappy... bottom right is tofu which we dun usually eat with chicken rice itself, but maybe mama felt like having some that day... super yummy, by far the best i had, not just cuz mama made it..

sleepy, while trying to catch Gossip Girl.. why is it streaming so slow?!?!

Reading the paper is depressing

what with all the bad news we read everyday.. natural disasters in Indonesia (prayers for them), accidents here and there, murdering happens in every inch of the world.. it's kinda depressing... just imagine the number of dying ppl that total up every seconds.. they say when a person dies, another would be born.. and u think of all the cute babies that will be brought up in this world to live with us.. then u open the papers again, n read about the babies that r being dumped n u get gloomy again... this post doesn't really have a point.. it's just that with everything happening around the world, sometimes u just stop n wonder about the life u live n the person u have come to be..i was gonna say something about humanity and how much the world could be different or better if we are aware of how much that really matters... but then i dun feel like preaching today...

a qoute my dad told me that really stuck to me.. look up for inspiration and look down for satisfaction...

just learn to be grateful...

What's Your Favourite Scary Movie?

one liner from the Scream..

so what were u dressed up for Halloween as? i didn't have a lot of time to think for my costume so i decided to be Shafinaz for the day... it's the most simple thing that i could come up with.. didn't go trick or treating tho...but was tempted to buy a pumpkin n carve my very own Jack O Lantern (as if)..

anyway, in the spirit of Halloween, there were loads of 'scary movies' shown on TV.. owh, and Saw is out (never got a hang of that movie), n so is Paranormal Activity 2 (in the US tho).. so last Saturday night, my sisters n I watched Drag me to Hell.. the trailer looked scary, but somehow we didn't catch it in the cinema when it premiered, then there were bad reviews of the movie.. my cousin even said that it was funny (hhmm??).. n yeah it was a so-so movie.. although i must confess that i am indeed a scaredy cat, but that movie wasn't really all that scary.. i was more grossed out by the old lady... eeiiwww... then when the movie was over, we watched Poltergeist... any1 remember that movie?? i think at the time i first watched it, it was super scary as the clown IT by Stephen King.. with that lil girl n the tv saying "their baaacckk"... a show of hand for those who think the movie ain't scary... see.. the movie is scary.. or was.. cuz when i watched it again with my sisters, it was a lil funny here n there...the short lady deciding not to go in the closet instead of the mum, "i'll go(mum).. no i'll go, u've never done anything like this before (short lady).. well, neither have u(mum)......... ok(short lady)" n this was supposed to be a nerve wrecking part of the movie.. the climax i guess, right before they got their daughter back..but instead, my elder sister n i were laughing... owh well, i guess fear fades with age...

but it still didn't stop me from getting nightmares later that night.. well, it was more of a dream of ghosts, where i was possessed n someone was trying to exorcise them away but there were still some left inside me... it wasn't really that scary cuz nothing really happened.. i just knew there was something inside me cuz there was a piece of paper showing how many there were n how many were left.. i dun remember being frightened or anything, but i did noe that i want them out (Ghostbusters!! where are u?!?)..

anyway, story of my life.. i noe it's a bore.. but what can u expect from a boring person anyway.. hope ever1 had a nice weekend, n enjoy the rest of the week... another post coming very soon...
