baby beluga

I want a baby. Of my own. But for now I'll settle for this cutesy-pie.

Mummy's (soon-to-be) shopping partner :D

I'm sooooooo checking out eligible "sperm donors" at the mo, hahaha!

How Starbucks Saved My Sanity

It doesn't matter how, really. It just has its own ways of doing it.

(year-end rush. I hate.)

Sik Paham

Ohhhh, how i have longed to write non-work related stuff! Okay, here goes:

PERKARA-PERKARA YANG KADANG-KADANG SAYA TAK FAHAM

1. The use of kata ganda in Bahasa Malaysia (see subject line above). Guna ke tak guna sekarang? I feel so outdated hokesss...
   
2. People who refuse to be tolerant towards workmates. Do note that we're (you're) not always right. And no, we don't find princessy attitude (read: selfish me me me) favourable.


3. The workings of permed hair. I got a perm job a moth ago and now it's arrow straight sans da curl spray-volumising cream-sculpting lotion combo.


4. Why my muscles still hurt after that RPM class. Hello, it's not like I've never cycled in my life.


5. Why I keep forgetting that the last time I went cycling was 10 years ago.


6. My insatiable habit to spend, spend, spend. Happy - spend. Emo - spend. Tak hepi dan tak emo pun - spend.


7. The need to dwell on petty issues. I do it, you do it, everybody does. But why do we do it la?


8. Malaysian public transports. Convenient only if you stay within 10 mins walking distance to the LRT station. Else, bas tak boleh harap. Komuter pun just as bad with the unreliable schedule. Dan orang Malaysia suka tolak-menolak dalam train. Dan suka berdiri dekat pintu and never make way for others when the train stops. Oi kawan, orang lain mau turun naik la. And it's expensive ya. How I envy the Europeans. Even their single trip tickets are cheap. Passes for multiple trips lagi la murah. [Luahan hati of a car-less lady.]


9. Kenapa saya tak rasa tua sangat. I'm like, OLD old. But I still feel da very da youthful (hah!). Reality hits hard when all shop assistants start calling me 'Kak'. And this stupid SMIDEC officer called me 'Puan'. Incik, do I LOOK MARRIED to you? My ring finger is still 'vacant' ok?


10. Menu yang mengelirukan seperti berikut:

Pok Piah No Pork? Hawww...mak konfius. Hehe.

Lagi satu:

WHy can't I find a decent Laksa Sarawak in KL? WHY? WHY? WHY? Huaaaaaaa.....

Disclaimer:

No, I didn't have this at the restaurant in Pic 1 above (mak tak sanggup!). This is Barrett's Laksa. Tiang's Cafe at the Bormill, Kuching.

Best. Sangat. *drool*

industry forums are fine

I just got back from attending a forum on innovation and the way forward for the industry. excellent speakers from the private sectors but same old same old from the public sector. no offence to anyone and i'm certainly not going to blog about the content of the forum. although, someone from the boston consulting group is now the object of my envy (man, i wanna be this girl). and oh, ever notice how some peeps really like to take photos of speakers at events? I mean, i get it if they're snapshots of the presentation slides but of the speakers...? wonder if them pics go into da reports (yes boss i went to the boring seminar u forced me to attend and as a proof of me not playing hookie here's a snapshot of the speaker(s) in slot 1,2, 3 and 4.)

i almost skipped the afternoon session but something held me back and yep, i stayed on till da forum ended. As I was about to leave the venue suddenly i saw a very familiar face just a few yards away and i was like, Oh My God....

...jeng jeng jeng, it was a good friend from my uni days whom i haven't seen for 4 1/2 years! Fine, not a celebrity or anyone famous but it's so nice to have met him after all these years and to catch up. Well, i didn't expect to ever gonna see him again. Having gone to Oxford for his doctorate I had thought he would be bought over from his sponsors by some mega bio company and stays abroad for indefinitely. I'm sure he received offers but he came back and is serving the country. That's what you call a 'national'. And he's the same old guy, very humble, and it looks like his colleagues love him to bits just like all of us did in uni. Dr. Teh Oooi Kock is the same Mr. Teh we all knew in our retro years. *terharu*

Some peeps just aren't like that. Gosh how i hate those i'm-foreign uni-certified-and-you're-not-therefore-i'm better-off peeps. Yeah yeah this may sound very juve of moi but this breed still exists and 'all grown up' is not checked off on their list yet. Oh yeah, their cousins would be those in MNCs or are some 'selected bunch of public servants' (you know what i mean) who make faces when u tell them that u work for a small local company. You meet them everywhere. Sigh...world peace and unity is definitely a far-fetched goal in humankind.

Back to discussing on work-related stuff, i wanna share with u the following jotting i meant to put up online earlier (i kinda passed out immediately after shower last night. must be an effect of that low-fat lunch regime, yikes!). My work requires me to do a lot of research on everything, and translate them to useful stuff for business proposals. As i was perusing the Net to get some insights on Ruby on Rails I stumbled upon this comment on a blog which I find very cute and funny ha-ha:

"I started reading Damian Conway's book on object oriented Perl a few years ago and it made my head hurt so badly that I gave up."

That's it. A good statement for me to quote in justifying my decision to have left the programming hell for good. A lot of people have passed judgements when i told them that i have a BSc in Computer Science, grrrrrr.....

So people, be nice to everyone. We're all entitled to feeling superior over others, but try to be mean only to those who snub us. Hello, i'm not exactly a saint so i have a tendency to retaliate when offended okay....? huhu.

AdIEpoT (who's started looking for greener turfs, oohhh errrr...)

one of dem days

Smart peeps arent always smart, and it's worse when u think u ARE
being very smart. That's it. I'm so up to becoming the next prez of
the dumberest. Damn. Tried so hard to put my defences up. Still they
manage to creep in and manipulate da head and da heart of moi. This is
going to be a long wait till my next vacation. I need a break. Or
lotsa mad mad work frm da bosses. bosses, help. Distract me please.

i need a hug

somebody give me a hug. a real comforting hug, please.

Bersama Kawan Kawan

10 November 08

SAAS Class of 96-98. Small get together @ Ampang Sports Planet.

20 plus of us, nice. Yours truly had a go at futsal for ze first time. Not bad le kan da experience. Since I was da "VIP", I only kick kick da ball la. Dont want to peluh peluh much. Moira would get injured if she doesnt wear heels so futsal trainers are a no-no, meaning she couldnt play lah. Nonz was da top scorer of da nite. Berkat super bibir. Ngeh ngeh.

And later we went melantak at some tomyam place in Ampang. From my humble observation, the girls makan more than the guys. Huhu.

28 Oct
Wedding reception today, and I had bridesmaid duty *major honor*.

4 Nov
Another wedding reception, sebelah Hadi @ Dewan MPPJ. It was quick, phew... (i'm really not cut for bridesmaid duty). Yeah ok, I had to nick this pic from the photog's flickr page. Mell, mana original copy gambar saya dgn Ila? Kata nak bagi....

Nota kaki: 2 days post the groom's reception, the couple fled to seclusion in "LA" (ehem). The bride kinda slipped some juicy bit that they're gonna go MIA for 2 more days than the official honeymoon period (as per made public). Yeah people, you can pay me some token to stalk 'em at 'Location X'. Hohoh.

7 Nov
Gruesome day at work. Last minute major assigment. Expect non-holiday tomorrow. Plus, I think someone's a bit pissed that I was called back to the office from 'station X'. And guess what, Mr Boss knows my blog. Crap. Uhhh biarlah. (If you're reading this, well, hello Boss!)
