The weekend before 1st Oct

I was a very tired person on Friday when I came back home from work. So my parents decide just to go JB and do a little shopping and head back to singapore leaving other business to be done on Sunday instead. The moment I reached home... I fall into a deep sleep. But my "darling" sister woke me up abt 2 hrs into my sleep and made me fetch her from school. I also had to bring along my guitar and the amplifier so that she can use it for some Children's Day concert.

I was still feeling damn tired from it all. When I realise I had a msg from Irah about going for supper, but she was tired too from her F1 duty. Then I talked to her last night and it was full of crap.. I can hear her taking her dosage of those asthma pumps in between the conversations... hahahahaha... Irah just so you know... I'm not afraid of You-Know-Who. I can easily pick up the phone and dial her number. It's just that I don't want to.

Also I accompanied my cousin and her parents to pick up her spanking new white Honda Fit at Turf City yesterday. The thrill of getting a new ride was in the air. A feeling which I experience 5 years ago when I first got my Kereta Bajet. And the feeling which I totally avoid when we got the Kereta Bajet II... Congrats Zakiah. I think it's time you think of a name for your car... and join the club of naming your gadgets/devices/cars.

Also before I went to Turf City, I went to Courts Causeway Point with my mum. We wanted to get new dining chairs. My sister insisted that we wait till end of the year and get Picket and Rail dining chairs but... It was way over my budget... so forget it. We also bought new microwave oven to replace the one my sister blew up about one month ago. I wonder what the heel was she doing in the kitchen when she isn't really much of a cook. Kalau masak air tu maybe dia pandai ah...

Okielah.. I need to go ... I'm back to being addicted to E!....

bored at home...

i was doing some cleaning in my room... not much difference before and after... hahahaha... just less dust that's all...

here is a pic of my diecasts...

my sunday

I swear... when Mas Selamat ran away early this year.. someone somewhere had placed a curse on me for the rest of 2008.

From then till now... I have yet to see or to come across a positive event for me... I was not even spared on my birthday...

This is totally like the lowest point of my life... Whoever out there who thinks 2008 has been great, is either Michael Phelps or Mas Selamat... other than that... I dun think anyone else esp those in the Home Team thinks that 2008 is a good year.. it has been harsh harsh harsh... Thank God for RPS... hehehehehe....

So am looking forward to 17th December 08. Goodbye Singapore...

p.s: To those who message me with nice b'day wishes, Thank you so much. It wasn't on purpose that I replied your msgs late. I was really busy at work... Pls forgive me. But Thank you once again... and the score is still at 3-2.

Personally, I think that a man has stoop to the lowest point when he hits a woman. To me, regardless of what the woman has done, I don't think anyone has to right to hit her especially if you are not her father. Unless you are disciplining her with regards to religion, I don't think a father should hit his adult daughter. Well, then again, that is what I believe and some of you may beg to differ. Different people have different opinions. Emotions sometimes affect your actions, esp in the spur of the moment.

 

I rarely blog about work or the people I work with. Because of the nature of my work, I choose to avoid talking about them. But an incident that happened recently, had blown my fuse. I totally lost all the respect I had for one of my colleagues. It might have something to do with the first paragraph I wrote... I was a little bit upset with the incident but I let it pass and I hope it will not affect my working attitude. I am trying to be as professional as possible. Aiyah, maybe I am still feeling angry... 

 

I'm back to not being able to sleep again... what the hell...

 

Anyway.. I was in office the whole day today and I composed a very long email to all my good friends... and their replies was a little disappointing till Feefee's reply... I will upload the email tomorrow... cheers pple...

Earlier when I was in office, I made a wishlist of what I might want for my birthday. And all the while I was HINTING at a nintendo Wii. While the rest had replies which totally avoided the whole issue.. and maybe Nor was nice enough to at least look for pple to share the present, and Fizah proclaiming me to be too free at work and then Nini's reply was all about explaining why I should not have anything on the list and Starbucks city mugs... Fitri came up with what at first I though to be a positive reply. It turns out to be "positive" instead. Read her reply below....

these days

I have been doing a lot of stuff of late...

 

All work and no play makes Art a boring person.

 

I have 2 impromptu trips to KL recently... maybe not as impromptu as the one in May... but equally as last minute... The trip made me realise certain things... I realise that I said certain things without conviction... there were certain things that I did which I was not aware of... not that it is wrong but just that I didn't think I was that strong to have done it... and that I could actually give advise and not fear that it might be wrong. hahaha... sorry Siti if u are reading this.. some of the things I said to you I really mean it... but some of the things... mcm hard to believe that it came from me. Hahahaha…

You see from where I came from, I am not much of the one giving advice as oppose to needing a good one. Half the time, ok make that most of the time; it was I needing an advice. But when faced with a situation that I should be the one giving it, I was shocked it came quite naturally. Seeing that you actually remembered some of what I had said, I was even more stunned.

So anyway back to these two trips… besides what I had to do officially (yes there was another agenda besides a short getaway trip with Siti),We had so much fun travelling around in KL like locals. Taking the public transport was an eye opener. The trip to Berjaya was “scary” enough that we decide to walk back slowly to our hotel room. And yes, We stayed at Traders Hotel again. I enjoyed talking to and spending time with Siti and it was really nice having her around.

Then the following week, which was the weekend that just passed, I went to KL again… Nini was in KL this time, and I miss her so much. It was great spending time with Nini. I almost felt normal again. Those close to me will know what I mean by that. Well, besides Nor, Amin and Fizah, Nini is one of the rare few that will bring me back to earth when I venture out too far.

Went up the Menara KL and took loads of pictures. Should have break fast at the Restaurant huh?

I was in office yesterday… and it felt different. I think it’s time for a change. 

Anyway, this morning when I open Safari, the homepage showed the new iPod Touch... and the 32GB goes for like $600 plus... like how cool is that?? I know of someone who had to pay $848 for the previous iPod Touch. Ouch... I think she'll kill me if she finds out. heheheh...

Oh yeah... I can't stop listening to Rihanna's and Ne-yo's Hate That I Love You So and David Archuleta's Crush.... Why? And who?? Who??? 

a quickie..

HA! the title might seem a lil bit wrong kan?? esp Bulan Ramadhan nie...

but I just wanna have a short update...

I dunno how but my colleagues somehow manage to convince to sign up for the Standard Chartered Marathon this Dec... I'm running for the 10km route... orang gila je run the 21km or 42 km...

So cheer me on.. I've got abt 3 mths to start preparing.. while the rest of my colleagues (who are running the 21km and 42km) have already start theirs MONTHS ago... dammit...
