Alhamdulillah.

Rezeki dimurahkan.

bila diberi kepercayaan oleh channel manager to be a project champion to come out with my own sitcom for Tutor TV

I wouldn't be able to complete the project and it doesn't mean anything without their guidance.

sleepless night.

stress.

depression.

nak come out with the plan and the brief. almost pecah kepala because seriously i have zero knowledge in production and broadcasting before this.

otak saya otak finance/economic/business.

and yes, my first ever project is almost come to an end thus it will somehow contribute a bit in my first performance review. (read:KACHING $$$$$)

i'll take a week off after everything is done, somewhere in Feb.

traveling alone and getting some piece of peace.

Something to ponder.

2012-01-12T13:36:00.001+08:00

"JODOH ditentukan oleh Allah sewaktu kita berumur 4 bulan didalam kandungan ibu.

(Malaikat akan tulis nama kita, rezeki, kerja, kahwin dengan siapa, cerai atau tidak, anak berapa atau semua tentang diri)"

something to ponder and put myself at ease.

tak perlu dikejar, mengejar,tercari-cari,dan menyakitkan diri wondering who will be that Mr. Right.

Remember that Allah would never take something away from you without the intention to replace it with something much better and you may realize you don't need that someone now at this moment, but later on you'll realize how much you need him/her in your life.

InsyaAllah.

Saturday.

2012-01-09T16:17:00.004+08:00

4.30 o'clock in the morning, eyes were still wide open, should blame the Starbucks frap I had earlier.

and no, conversation didn't get boring.

I had a BBM conversation with a friend of mine, who I actually ~~barely~~ never talk while we were in high school and somehow we met again after 7 years during the 2012 NYE Bbq and yaddaa yaddaaa.

okay.

cut the stories short.

the topic at that hour were about from capturing the number at tiang parking at the shopping malls just because we always forget where we parked out car at *even worst for me whenever I go to the mall, alone nowadays*, to how to siang udang using the most effective method, to the latest soul/jazz playlist that I should've downloaded, to the articles that he wrote that really caught my attention to read and yes, the most interesting topic at that wee hours was about relationship.

stories were shared.

advices were given.

lessons were learned.

and when Mr. wise man did the talking, a piece of advice he gave that almost brought me into tears:

"dee, when choosing a man,keep in mind he will be your provider for love, shelter and care. He will be the father to your children, he will be the person who will take over your father's role, and most importantly, you need a man who will be there when you're at your worst, and will pray for you all the time. If you see that in a man, marry him"

truth to be told, yes, I found all these traits in a man that I've spent my life before for 6 freaking years.
but sadly, things ended in the most unexpected way, not as the way it started, 6 years ago.
even until now, I never stop praying that he'll be protected in Allah's loving hand, from any harmful event.
I never fail to include him in my prayers, every single day and night because I believe, if you love someone, though you know that you both can never be together, a little prayer would help.

well,
moving on is one thing.
forgetting someone is another.
I moved on.
but I can't forget.

and yeah, the conversation lasted until subuh, and before I fell asleep after my subuh prayer, I come across to one of the articles that this Mr.Wise man wrote in 2010 and I really wanna share with you guys, my awesome blog readers..

here it goes:

"As you all know, currently im working at Semporna, Sabah...been staying here for so long that the Hotel Staffs are pretty much my family members here...today, Aby's sister passed away...Aby is a staff at the hotel im staying...and i would like to share this experience with you

Aby's sister; Nurlidah moved to KL earlier this year to work...she was pretty much alone there but this girl did so to seek better job opportunities at KL City to help her family...a few days ago, she was admitted to Ampang Hospital due to appendicitis...she had her operation away from home and later found out that there's a tumor in her ovary...as the doctor tried to remove it, they found out that it spread to her lungs too...pretty much there's nothing much that the doctor can do...sadly, she did not survive

the 'jenazah' arrived in Semporna, Sabah around 5pm...i was there at the Mosque when the body arrived...her mom fainted as soon as she saw the 'jenazah'...who wouldnt when they lose a daughter...family members helped to get her mom back on her feet...she only has two daughters; Aby and Nurlidah...but now she is left with one, Aby

As they moved the 'jenazah' into the Mosque, suddenly i saw the crowd gathered at another spot, not around the 'jenazah'...Me, being the foreigner here, found it weird that the crowd was not gathered around the 'jenazah' like how it is in KL, so i 'menyibuk' to find out what was going on...i saw a boy sitting in front of the 'Imam'...they shook hand, and to my surprise, it was an 'Akad Nikah' session...apparently she was engaged and the boy still wants to marry her even though she is not 'here' with us anymore...imagine, how he felt during the 'Akah Nikah'...marrying the girl you love the most and knowing that you will never 'see' her again...he did it in one 'Lafaz'...Alhamdulillah...as soon as everyone said 'Sah', he broke down and cried...at that moment, i must admit, i cried too...seeing his tears, it really touched me...a water drop in the ocean, creates a little wave...but a teardrop from a man who's wife just passed away, it touches the soul

i don't know this guy at all, but i believe he is a good man...he stood by his mother in law and kept on massaging her when she was feeling weak...he's a great man

Aby is quite close to me, i even went to her daughter's 3rd bday, Alia...Alia is a very cute girls who runs around the Hotel while her mom works...i really like to play with her because she is 'petah' bercakap and shes really friendly...the Hotel Staffs organized my birthday here in Sabah and Nurlidah was there...i really appreciate the effort that they did, they even cooked for my bday...Aby is really close to her sister...and now, she's the only girl in the family...i can't imagine losing any of my siblings or anyone close to me...im not ready...i think i will never be

i hope to those who are in a relationship, appreciate it...shower your partner with all the love you can give while you 'can'...dont be shy to say those '3 words' repeatedly because you will never know the day that you might not be able to say it to him/her anymore...appreciate each and every moment with your love one because it might be her last smile, her last touch and her last day"

i weep a bit when I read this.
yes, Takdir. jodoh, ajal, maut semua Allah dah tentukan.

and one thing for sure:
grudge, never ever have one.
hate. never ever hate someone.
and always remember to mendoakan keselamatan dan kesejateraan orang yang disayangi, agar dia sentiasa dilindungi oleh Allah.
I will hold on this, because patience is virtue.
Allah has his own reason why things happened this way.

and reading the Holy Quran, I came across to this one ayat

"Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness." Surah As-syura, Ayat 30

well, another life lesson learned.

2011 Recap.

2011-12-30T19:14:00.003+08:00

so, 2011 has almost come to end.

With all the highlights and lowlights that I've gone through throughout the year, I could just say that some valuable life lessons are learnt.

Although some of things happened unexpectedly throughout the year, it's all fate and if Allah bring us to it, HE is for sure bring us through it.

Alhamdulilah.

2011 has been good to me.

so many things happen that turn me into a better person.

I becoming more independent.

I do things on my own since then. I rather spend time alone for shopping, traveling and having some "me-only" time.

I stand on my own,when I was at my lowest, when I thought I'd face the worst life scenarios ever.

Alhamdulilah.

I have the wonderful family ever that I could ask for.

we learn to appreciate each other even more when it is the time for family bonding since all of us are live scattering, all over the place.
and I spend more time at home. I started to appreciate the precious time to spend at home, no money wasted, no more coming back at home at wee hours in the morning.

Alhamdulilah.

Career has been great so far. though the urge of quitting is there, but i manage to go through it.

and yes, at the age of 23 y/o, I am able to get my very first permanent job in this unexpected industry that i could never imagine. well, here I am.

and becoming devoted to it I could say where most of the time up to at least 12 hours a day on weekdays were all well-spent at work.

starting to realize it is not easy to earn and the amount you earn is never seems to enough for spending.

InsyaAllah, all the hard work will be pay off.

I'm aiming myself to climb from one to another, from zero to hero, from lil minions to somebody.

All I need is faith, doa, and hard work.

Alhamdulilah.

Allah grants me with the most wonderful friends that i ever have.

they are there whenever in needed, to lift up the spirits, to go through the hardness part of life, to act silly with and and to laugh our ass off.

Alhamdulilah.

Ending my 2011 as a single woman is not that bad after all.

and yeah, new people came into my life.

not one, but a few.

and when there is something is holding me back from taking a step ahead, the whole process seems to be so complicated.

I find it is so hard to simply accept a new man into my life.

it's hard, when you love someone that much, that long and it is kinda impossible to give your heart away to some else.

and next time around, if it is mean to happen, I've learn how to appreciate that someone, and overcome my weaknesses, insecurities, and other negative attributes that kills the relationship.

no one is perfect. it is just how two people are perfect together.

24 hours a day.

minimum of 12 hours well spent at work.

1 hour approximately devoted on the road to travel here and there, every day.

maximum of 6 hours of sleep, or less.

and the remaining 4-5 hours, were juggled to spend some quality times between family, friends and myself.

that would be the awesome 24 hours that I could ask for.

syukur, Alhamdulilah.

Put a ring on it..

2011-12-28T18:32:00.001+08:00

24th December 2011, marks a date when my soul mate officially married with the mr. wiseman.

It was only an aqad, with no reception but somehow it was a wonderful memorable event after all.

to see him putting a ring on her and how he's able to ensure her that he's the one she can spend her life with, really touched my heart.

right after the solemnization ceremony, I rushed to Emerald East for another bestie's engagement.

was really tied up because I've done everything from baking cupcakes, making the trifle, helping on the setting and decoration.

it was another night to remember when Effy decided to take a step ahead after 10 years of relationship.

Alhamdulillah, it's worth waiting.. on the 25th December 2011, they are finally engaged :)

and on the 25th Dec 2011,

something happened that really touched my heart :')

I believe in God's fate, if there's a will, there will always a way.

Revolving.

2011-12-22T18:47:00.001+08:00

9 days to go, to 2012.

What are your new year resolutions?

truth to be told, I never have one.

I found that having a new year resolution that keep on changing every year don't really work for me.

Because I believe, things happen for a reason and I just go with its flow.

I only have one thing I's would wish for, to be a better person than before.

and 3 days left, until my ever soulmate get hitched.

the one who I party hard with.

the one who I always sleep with.

the one who always by my side.

the one who who always slap me back to reality.

the one who knows my biggest fear.

and the one who I never thought to get married first, before me.

well,

life changing over time and the world revolves surrounds.

LOVE?

2011-12-12T19:36:00.000+08:00

LOVE?

i don't know how to answer/respond when people started to ask me about this.

truth is, I AM AFRAID to fall in love again.

I am not ready to get hurt,or letting someone hurt because of me.

it's very torturing, very heartbreaking, and I've faced it once, and I don't wanna face it twice or let others to feel what I've felt before.

the first month of recovery period, I was very devastated.

I spent 4 weekends straight for holidays.

I don't even bother that I'm running out of cash.

I don't even bother to stay at home.

I worked until late at night, get myself very tired so when I got back home, I go straight to my bed and sleep and have nothing to thing about.

and the second month was better than before.

But I still don't have a gut to go to those places that we used to go before.

I gave up on ikea and meatballs, I gave up gold chilli's SS15, I gave up on Chili's, I gave up goin to Sunway Pyramid, I gave on on late nite car ride, and those mamak stalls that we used to lepak almost every single nights.

I gave up on everything that we've been together.

and as time goes by, I started to realize, there's no point of torturing your life and stop whatever you've been doing.

so I take it slowly, overcome my fear to face the truth.

I was so blunt. I keep chanting positive mantras. I keep praying that I one day, I gain back all my strength to face the truth, nothing but truth.

Alhamdulillah, things are at better place now.

Though deep inside it's still throbbing.

It's amazing how love can give big impact to someone's life, whether it is in positive or negative ways.

new people come into my life.
a friend's brother,old friends, dad friend's son, sister's friend. try to get close to.

But because I do value the friendship that we have and I don't wanna spoil the momentum.

reason: I am not ready to even commit and give my heart away.

why rush when we can take a slow ride?

Too much to be considered before taking another step ahead.

our viewpoints towards life, flexibility,level of freedom, attitudes and the important of how they react to the trials of life and how they can accept me for who I am.

I need a man, not a boy.

i need a dude, not a douche.

I need someone who always by my side through thick and thin and at the same time always have confidence and use wisdom to resolve issues.

I need someone who always consider my opinion and not those who are making decision at one side.

I need a man who's loving and protective and a family man but not becoming wishy washy, indesisive,manic,angry and abusive.

I do pray that one day, Allah opens my heart to someone who deserve it.

InsyaAllah, if there's a will, there's always a way.

considering that I want to achieve so much in life, I shall focus on what I want to be first instead of with who I want to spend my life with.

fortysixdays

2011-11-14T12:26:00.001+08:00

fortysixdays of being single.

menipu if I said I am 100% recovered.

I miss him, I do.

we had gone through so many things together for only God knows how long. and it is not easy to be erased.

sad that we're not even in good terms,when the one u had for 6 years, eventually turned into stranger.

I never asked for this to happen, neither him.

but ego kills.

and when other people involved, it got worst.

sad how people took advantage on this, manipulate things, saying bad things about each other, being plain ignorance on what other might feels, caused hatred and so on.

well, I've gone through a lot.

23 years of living in life, I've face major turbulence, twice.

Two people I love the most gone. one passed away and one just left.

It is not easy, it will never be easy.

I pick up every pieces of my strength, put it at the right place, and move on with my life.

deep inside my heart, I am still praying, and never stop praying, for the best.

I pray when it rains, and I should not stop praying even when it shines.

and these fortysixdays, I learned a lot.

I met new random people who I never thought I might meet someday.

I make new friends, old friends become closer, and close friends become even closest.

I discover new things, new hobby, new adventurous things, and I started running again, the thing that I've forgo for years, start expressing myself into arts, fill my spare time with painting and drawing again and spending time with books just to find peace in me.

I explore my strengths, my bosses discovered my potential, and dad becoming my ultimate backbone, for me to pursue my dream.

I overcome my weaknesses, whatever that stopping me to achieve something that I long for all my life.

and I put love as my least important thing in life. just because am afraid to fall in love just yet.

life is a roller coaster.

I was at my lowest, but it will never stop me to be on top again.

Penang, again.

2011-11-02T19:56:00.001+08:00

heeee went to Penang AGAIN!

3rd time in a month time.

and yes, I am dead broke now.

was spending as if I have a bottomless account.

the main reason we went there were to celebrate Yassier's 25th birthday + Yuyu and I convocation getaway.

and another reason was of course, to meet our Philippines friends, Moris, Ricky, Mariecar and Teody as that week was the last week for them in Penang before they flew back to Bangkok and Manila.

and good thing that this time we all stayed in the same hotel, so i got the chance to spend more time with them, lepak at the lounge till 6 in the morning playing games with Moris and laughed our hearts out!

it was fun and triple the joy!

drove to Penang on Sunday morning, stay in HRC again for a night before shoot back to KL on Monday.

had Nasi Kandar Line Clear, and laksa best tepi batu feringhi and discover new place with beautiful beach driving upward after Batu Feringhi, which its exactly located before Taman Negara.

celebrated Yassier's birthday at HRC and to watch Moris and his band's last performance.

with Mariecar,Moris, June and Teody. the last day in HRC.

so, enough of Penang for now.

been there 3 times in a month, it was like WOW!

life is on track, and works drive me crazy.

good thing that I'm handling a new project, start from the scratch. Alhamdulillah =)

2011-10-24T10:30:00.000+08:00

Hey dearies.

Hectic weeks for me though.

I spend 12 hours a day in the office and I'm being plain ignorance of what is happening surrounds me.

but I tahnk god because Friends and Family keep me occupied and life is treating me with mercy.
Alhamdulillah. :)

Anyway, I just came back from Penang for another weekend getaway cum work/outstation purpose. So sambil menyelam mari minum air.

Me and Emma stayed in town and we don't have the chance to go to the beach. Spent a night in Northam Suite and a night in G Hotel.

I even got the chance to meet my friend from Phillipines before he flies off to his hometown next week.

It was fun though :)

Anyhoots, below are some of the sneak peek during my weekend in Penang.

PLUS highway, Friday 21st Oct at 3.45 pm

Picking up the pieces..

2011-10-17T14:58:00.001+08:00

I'd spent one of my weekend in Penang, with my awesome bestie.

Just to let my mind at ease, I just laid back by the beach, went swimming, watched dvds, enjoyed the live band and not to forget pampered myself with body massage.

Trust me, it was awesome.

it worth the moolah when I can get the AirAsia package, for 3 days 2 nights stays in HRC, together with flight tickets and airport transfers for only RM980 for 2 pax.

well, when your world is facing major turbulence, all u need is to pick up all the pieces and get some peace. :)

Recovery.

2011-10-16T23:09:00.001+08:00

Hey babies.

Glad to be able to write again.

Thing has gone mad for the past few weeks and now I am able to stand on the right track.

Alhamdulillah, Allah is with me, when I am at my lowest, when the world surrounds me collapse.

Well, the world revolve.

Things changed.

People changed.

And yes, feelings changed too.

I'm enjoying my single life now. :)

Yes, the 6 years relationship just ended. Not really just ended. But yeah. It has ended.

And I rather keep it to myself the reason why and what not.

Anyhoos, I'm glad that I still have my wonderful family and friends around.

And being such a workaholic woman, at least I have some reason to stand still.Having a love-hate relationship with work is what I do best for now.

Something to put my heart and mind away from sadness and sorrow. :)

I have reason to be happy and to put that smile back on my face although the moving on part is the hardest.

Looking forward to get into new things that I've missed out while I was in relationship.

And thanks to you, for being a part of my life for 6 years and yes, this really make me become into an independent woman with bigger and stronger heart.

Truth is; life lesson learnt

Till then loves.

Tergantung

2011-08-26T08:59:00.001+08:00

nak raya lagi 4 hari je.
but I'm still stuck with workloads.
bila semua dealines nak dikejar.
bila semua producer aku nak kena push suruh hantar material by today.
bila semua orang from playout,from subtitling,from scheduling cari aku tanya pasal tapes yang nak di housemaster kan.
bila semua pun nak cuti raya.
rasa macam nak amik rope gantung dekat kipas syiling
-___-

will be working on Monday.
Rasa mcm bersalah if cuti and left my job pending or pass dekat orang lain cover kan.
nasib raya KL je.
so there's no harm in issue nak kejar balik kampung.

baju raya baru sepasang. terima kasih encik ns (alamak..dh mcm jejari runcing dah nak pngil encik apex) ;p
i finally get my kaftan in fushia with beautiful beadings.
this year we choose purple fushia kind of theme.
anf theme for family is grey, but still I couldnt find one yang cantik.
first time tak tempah baju so gamble aja diri pergi cari baju siap.
ada yang cantik gila bila sarung kat badan sendiri, SINGKAT!
al-maklumlah, saya tinggi. ;p

okay.
back to work.
dengar lagu raya dekat office.
sedih nak mampus. again rasa bole amik rope and gantung dekat kipas syiling.
kuih raya still tak bake!
okay lah.
mari gantung diri!

saturday Recap Part 3

2011-08-24T09:41:00.000+08:00

The night doesnt ended there. It was not complete enough after another round of karaoke-ing. the all time fav for the girls and I.

lagu wajib nyayi will be always Trauma by Elite.

since two of my girls is having a badddddd break ups, so we sang lagu-lagu yang lepas geram.

We sang our lungs out to different genres and today I woke up i started to realize that im losing my voice!

I really had fun!

after how many months only god knows, we finally catching up with each other.

Wani will soon further her Master and soon to be wife to NM.

Hana is now an interior designer.

Fa,San and Ct are still completing their studies to the next level.

while Yuyu is now soon to be outlet respo/manager in Zara!

though Jaja is missing, we'll bring her together with us =)

Saturday Recap Part 2

2011-08-24T09:31:00.002+08:00

The day lasted until 6pm before we decided to close the shop and planned for iftar with the bestfriends.

I cant even remember when was the last time we had this kind of get together.

We had iftar at Porto Romano Mont Kiara.

At first we decided to go for iftar at The Meatworks but it was fully booked.

And the second option was The Pinksage but hell yeah it already shut down its business.

So i browsed for any nice restaurant nearby and after reading the food reviews we decided to go to Porto Romano. Not a bad choice though.

I could say it will be my nex fav italian restaurant after La Risata.

It was delicious.

I had the chef signature Spageti Pasto Romano after the waiter suggested to me. I also had some bruchestta, Ravioli with lobster meat and later I fell in love with Yuyu's squid ink spagethi.

There were 7 of us and it was not that expensive for the complete meal that costed about RM300++. And later, we decided to indulging ourselves with dessert at Baskin Robin.

I didnt buy any since I craving for mouth-watering cakes that i bought earlier from cuppy stuffie. The white chocolate cupcakes and caramel mocha cheese walnut cakes are to die for!

aglio olio seafood

ravioli with lobster meat

squid ink spagethi seafood

bruchettas

san dee and yuyu

dessert's time!

Saturday Recap Part 1

2011-08-24T09:18:00.002+08:00

Saturday was a blast. My day started as early as 8 a.m on freaking weekend. Getting ready for The KL Bazaar. I opened a booth at Solaris Mont Kiara selling pre-loved and vintage clothes and some of brand new clothes. It was hectic because we were all fasting. Though the crowd was not that crowd, but Alhamdulillah I got some income to splurge and survive for the next few days till my next paycheck!

Blessing Ramadhan

2011-08-17T13:29:00.001+08:00

it's the 3rd weeks of Ramadhan already.

Honestly, I don’t get the chance to feel the vibe.
I do not take my sahur because I just love my bed more than I love my tummy instead.
And working for over 10 hours a day, all I think is about deadlines.
Even worst, I often berbuka puasa in car. or ask NS to teman me berbuka after work sebab selalu tak sempat sampai rumah.
so, tell me, where can I get the puasa vibe?
I haven't listen to raya song just yet.
Rasa macam bulan-bulan biasa because I just dont bother to eat anyways.

sedih actually.
I should fulfill my Ramadhan with more solah.
but at the moment I reach home at 10ish pm, after my isyak prayer terus kebabom tidur.
I only go to terawikh 3 times and now the red flag is on.
-___-

but there's a good and valuable lesson behind all this.
During my trip to Muar last weekend for Marhaban Astro, I got the chance to have a very longgggggg conversation with one of the Imam Muda season 1 finalist.
his name is Nuri. tak pernah tengok pun Imam Muda season 1 but he's great.
terasa diri sungguh jahil bcoz there's too much curiousity.
banyak sangat pasal agama yang I dont really bother.
though I perform my solat, but there's still thousand of questions linger in mind
i spent the whole night lepak with him at mamak stall in Muar town and with his patience, he answered all my questions.
and even good is, he didn't even judge the way I dressed up.
he's not even preachy but somehow whatever message he's trying to deliver to me, memang sampai.
Alhamdulillah, may Allah bless him =)

and I witnessed the transformation of my fav R&B group V.E and Ruffedge into nasyid group.
Subhanallah. Allah is great.
being their no 1 fan, and Lah being a vocal teacher to NS, I used to go and to see their shows.
semua lagu V.E hafal. asal ada show or NS nak pergi studio Lah or rumah Lah mesti nak menyibuk.
and now, knowing that they had turned into nasyid a.k.a Al-Mawlid, it such an eye opener.
the group consist of Pot,Amir,Lah,Zhaf and Azan.
amazing kan?
=)
during Marhaban Astro, they joined us to perform and doing some amal jariah for berbuka puasa with anak-anak yatim.

banyak sangat benda I've learn during my weekend in Muar.
teary eyes bila Al-Mawlid sang a song titled "Bidadari"
terasa diri ni sungguh kecil.
balik bilik hotel dekat Muar terus terdudk and reflect balik all the inputs.
:'(
and to Imam Muda Nuri, thank you very-very much =)

2011-08-16T14:17:00.001+08:00

hectic days at work.
i need a short vacation.
or maybe an escapade.

googling for a nice place to go, either locally or oversea.
or maybe any escapade secluded from "concrete jungle" though its in KL.
and I found this Samadhi Boutique Hotel, located in Jalan Ampang, BUt it it ranges from RM500-2500 ++ per night.
wish I have a bottomless $$$ so I can treat myself for a night stay in The Dalai (RM2500 per night) type of room at Samadhi.

samadhi boutique hotel

bliss.
In dire need of holidays.

;(

another side of story,
getting my car soon. my first car ever.

Thanks Dad.

and a new camera to die for,

Life

2011-08-08T09:47:00.003+08:00

Life has been very busy these days.

After one job to another, and I’m having some job rotation and currently I’m doing something new, totally new to me. It gives me headache when it comes to the operational side of it.
Cut that crap. I’m not gonna whine about my work since I can never run away from the reality.

Allah is great.

He never fails to answers our prayers. Though I realize that some of us (even me) only seek for his help during the hard time, but he never fails to be there for us.
Best friends are facing major breakups, putus tunang and calling off the wedding.

One with long distance relationship, Russia-Malaysia, after 7 years she finally find the truth. The man can never be a man. He’s a total jerk.
Another is tying the knot very soon, but truth reveals, so she called off the wedding. The wedding cards are done.Solemnization ceremony’s attire dh siap.

But Allah is great. He just don’t want them to suffer anymore.

He shows the truth, nothing but the truth.
What else they need after realizing the man that they thought should be “the one” was no longer being the one?
the consequences: Pain. Mental torturing. Psychological matter of act.

After all, it also slaps me back to reality though.
I learnt a lesson too. A lesson that the one you love, is the one who hurt you the most.

Dear *youknowwhoyouare*, chin up. Cheer up. Prove to both of that guys that you can live without them. You girls are worth better. Though I might not always be with you, but my heart is trembling with emotions too knowing the pain that you've been through.

when my soulmate is engaged

2011-07-25T02:00:00.006+08:00

i've been so busy during the weekends. took one day off on friday to settle things down.

adik saya ada orang dtg merisik on saturday noon, and during the night my teman sampai mati E-day.

mummy has assigned me to do the candy buffet so I was busy baking the whole day.

and my anniversary with mr. nizi shazril fall on the same day tapi due to my busy-weezy, i haven't got the chance just yet to pergi makan romantic-romantic. so we just had a quick dinner at Alexis and I'll definitely will make it up to him soon!

and a good friend of mine just got back from Cardiff, balik for good and sampai2 je he demand for malaysian foods like no other, so all of us kena entertain dia on Friday night. hee and we went to Mandi-Mandi restaurant in Tamarind Springs and tell you what, I'm loving the ambiance and the food. its expensive though but it worth your penny plus the service is good.

I had red kham tom yam chicken that cost you rm30 a bowl, and bbq chicken grilled for rm28. oh. the pulut manggaaaaaaa was seriously awesome!!! sedap gilllllaaaaaa
I once went to Tamarind Springs that served cambodian cuisine in 2007 during nizi shazril's birthday but I never knew that mandi-mandi is in the same buliding!

you can check this out for more info. http://samadhiretreats.com/

anyway, alhamdulillah, my soulmate is finally engaged to her beloved BF cum Fiancé.

Something for you to ponder

2011-07-18T12:42:00.000+08:00

Tidak ada manusia ideal di dunia ini, selain Rasullullah SAW. Karena itu, kita harus siap menerima kekurangan dan kelebihan diri dan pasangan kita. Syukuri kelebihannya dan bersabarlah dengan kekurangannya. Ketika kita menemukan kekurangan pasangan, bantu ia memperbaikinya, bukan menghakimi. Kita mengenal rumus 2B2L (berani mengakui kelebihan dan jasa orang; bijak terhadap kekurangan dan kesalahan orang; lupakan jasa dan kebaikan diri; lihat kekurangan dan kesalahan diri).

Dalam QS. An-Nahl [16] ayat 125, Allah SWT berfirman, Serulah kepada jalan Tuhanmu dengan hikmah dan pelajaran yang baik dan bantahlah mereka dengan cara yang baik. Kata-kata hikmah adalah kata-kata terpilih, yang paling utama di antara yang baik. Orang yang berdakwah, menyeru dengan hikmah, adalah orang yang menyeru dengan cara terbaik di antara cara yang baik. Termasuk saat memberi kritikan.

Kritik dengan keterbukaan akan datang kalau seseorang merasa aman memberi masukan, tidak membela diri saat dikritik atau malah balik menyerang. Karena itu, untuk membangun keluarga yang mudah menerima kritik, ada tiga hal yang harus dimiliki. Pertama, miliki visi yang sama, sehingga tradisi saling menasehati dan keterbukaan akan mudah diwujudkan. Kedua, miliki ilmu mengkritik yang baik; tidak menyerang, melukai, berdasarkan data dan fakta, bukan dengan emosional semata. Dan ketiga, berlatih dan terus berlatih.

Secara umum, ada beberapa tips sederhana untuk mengritik pasangan.

1.Perhatikan situasi dan kondisi.

2.Jangan mengritik pasangan saat sedang marah, capek, lapar, banyak masalah, dan sebagainya.

3.Gunakan kata-kata sopan dan halus.

4.Berikan pujian dan penghargaan proporsional sebelum mengritik.

5.Hindari menegur di depan umum.

6.Jangan terlalu sering mengritik.

7.Menegur bukan berarti melampiaskan kejengkelan. Karena itu, jangan menyerang orangnya, tapi “seranglah” kesalahannya.

8.Redakan dahulu kemarahan kita. Kalau amarah sudah reda, baru memberikan kritikan.

Right Brainer

2011-07-14T23:43:00.005+08:00

Education.

I never thought that my first job will be based on Education. I never thought that someday, somehow I will be a teacher, lecturer or even educator. Not in any of my options anyway.I always dream working in fashion industry, attending the world class fashion shows and being treated like V.I.P, wearing those designers stuff and anything that has to do with fashion. That’s my first job that I ever think off.

Even when dad asked, what you gonna do after you’d graduated?
My answer will be: kerja yang famous and travel around the world. What else could I found it would be great to do when it comes to fashion kan?

On the second thought, I wanna do something that I would love to do in my entire life. It’s like a saying “Do what you LOVE and LOVE what you do!” I’ll be passionate and work hard if I do something that I love. No one will enjoy doing something they hate unless they eventually turn to love what they hate at the first place.

Giving opinion and thoughts, understanding metaphors, holistic processing, reading faces, objects and emotions,high imagination,appreciates musics,analyzing graphics and geometric properties and creativity are some of what I do best. Yeah, I’m right brainer. I use my right brain a lot. If you give me numbers and formula, I’ll give you shit.

So my view in job, on what I wanna do in life changes over time. I wanna work in Event Company doing events mainly on fashion, be a wedding planner so I can express my creativity, open a shop and specialized on book scrapping that plays with colors, beautiful doily papers and cutouts, etc etc etc and the list would run a miles.

Kalau tanya Fortune Teller what is the best job for me, dia jawab scientist. Sebab apa? I kan test my own hypotheses which reflects the right brain's functions. And thank God, people that are related closely to my heart appreciate my value on arts. Though I would never be a pillar for this path, but they trust my high taste on arts, my magic hands and get my words on it when they need helps. So tak apa lah, pelan pelan kayuh and just do this underground before going to mainstream.

So, now here I am. Working under Gen Next (or next generation) division, which is the new department under Astro that is mainly focuses on education, kids and youth. and I never thought that I'll be working in Media and Broadcasting industry, which is opposed as what I've studied for 5 years during diploma and degree.

Positively, I start to love what I’m doing now. Develop new content to serve the needs of students and youth nowadays. Giving my opinion and thoughts on education and InsyaAllah, I’ll do this with all my heart. Though I never can avoid that stress I receive every time I step into the office, but in Islam, I need to dapat berkat dari-Nya so taklah kerja makan gaji buta that later on will lead to haram. I receive good pay and benefits that I would never imagine I’ll get as a fresh graduate, while others are still confuse themselves on what they gonna do to earn that penny.

Though literally, I’m not a teacher, lecturer or even educator, more or less I’m producing education and positive input to the community. If we give shit, viewers will get shit. Is that what you want? No rite?

yes, I can do this. Insyallah.

At risk?

2011-07-13T10:55:00.001+08:00

Jangan buat donno kalau isteri merajuk atau berkecil hati. Kalau perlu minta maaf, minta maaf, kalau perlu dipujuk, pujuk. Hati orang pompuan ni sensitif. Kalau kami rasa suami tak ambil kisah, perasaan bagai dihiris-hiris. Perkara yang dipandang remeh oleh suami boleh menjadi kanser kepada isteri. Kepada para suami khususnya dan kaum lelaki amnya, janganlah dianggap masalah hati dan perasaan orang perempuan ni enteng sahaja.

i have to agree one of the major cause for cancer is stress.
kenapa stress?
macam-macam sebab antaranya seperti di atas.
cancer ni ada banyak stage.
if dh serang wanita, kalau dia hidup penuh stress, tak ada tawa riang, automatically cel-cel cancer akan membiak.
itu doctor yang rawat mama saya bgtahu.
sebab mama sgt workaholic and of course selalu stress.
from stage 2 dalam masa setahun terus naik stage 4.

sebab tu perlu rasa disayangi, hidup positive, tawa riang, dan rasa dihargai.

and do you know, if your mom has cancer, the daughter is 3 times at risk to get one?
hmmmm..

Gratitude

2011-07-11T17:37:00.002+08:00

saya ada banyak sebab kenapa saya perlu bersyukur kepada Allah kerana menemukan saya dengan Nizi Shazril.
lagi 12 hari, our relationship turns 6 years.
from time to time, I've learn a lot about him,love and life.
kalau before ni its all about me, now everything I do, kena fikir dia juga just to make sure tak melampui batas.
same goes to him, we consult each other, giving advice, sharing thoughts etc.
maybe for some people rasa so attached when u need to inform from a to z tgh buat apa, but as for us, we dont really think its compulsary. trust, is all we need.

dugaan.
siapa yang bercinta takde dugaan memang penipu and hidup di alam fairy tale.
even cerita Cinderella pun ada dugaan dia.
tolerate,understanding itu penting. thats the key for it.
I have to admit, my level of jealousy is high, but as I said, from time to time, I've learn a lot and how to control it.

and good thing is, we have so many things in common yang saya memang particluar in a guy.
pembersih itu wajib.
pengemas double wajib.
well-organized, triple wajib.
3 benda penting yang ada pada diri saya, ada pada dia.
these 3 things, even my family and friends and bos yang baru ni pun dh perasan my attitude.
i'm not being proud, tapi ini reality. I cant stand with mess.
balik rumah boleh mengamuk if ada orang amik barang tak susun balik in my room.
and yang paling penting, dia tak panas baran. in 6 years, adalah sekali dua dia angin kalau dh marah sgt2 smpai jadi hulk dia naik suara, tapi tangan kaki tak naik and of course tak pernah satu pun foul language he said to me.
saya tak perlukan mushy-mushy words ayang anje mam papa all the time sebab dia seorang yg serious, tapi time romantic, mmg cair. tp nak dia romantic tunggu la 7-8 bulan sekali.
tapi kalau dh romantic 24 jam aku yang geli and rimas.
cukup sekadar memberi kasih sayang yang sepenuhnya dan caring.
Alhamdulillah, syukur sangat.

6 years, dari SPM-Diploma-Degree and now I got my first permanent job.
and for him, dari diploma, degree, LLB, Syariah and now as DPP.
cepat kan masa lari-lari,jalan-jalan?
kalau dulu, bercinta macam budak-budak.
sekarang, we can see the development. we're getting mature. saya rasa macam cool bila dating lepas kerja with our office attire.
nak cerita pun benda2 sgt relevant,isu-isu semasa and argue on our thoughts pasal kehidupan.
hah cool, bole tak? ;p

privacy. yeap. we don't do PDA.
dh besar kan?
tak payah PDA sangat lah. tulis kat facebook everyday sayang sayang semua.
hp,bbm,whatsapp semua ada kan?
though we have freedom of speech, some things are better keep for your own record.
sekali sekala maybe accepted.
no offense lah, tapi ni my point of view. :)

nak kawin, tapi bila fikir risk selepas kawin dari segi financial, we hold it first.
saya pun tak ready lagi. at least 2 years kerja, kumpul duit riban-riban baru fikir.
aku ni high maintenance. my shopping/beauty/etc expenditure je dh berapa. hahah
dia pun baru je berapa bulan kerja and jadi lawyer bukan nya senang.

semoga Allah memberkati hubungan kami dan panjangkan jodoh kami.AMIN

p/s: saya berblog dkt office sebab tak ada kerja. :)

Singapura-Batam

2011-07-11T15:21:00.001+08:00

I just got back from my weekend getaway.

so, how do i say this, fun? yayy or nayy?

well, honestly I dont really enjoy it for some major reasons.

y'know, goin for holiday with people you dont fancy and not comfortable to be with, is one thing.

and having so many kepala nak ikut, is another.

but me, being me, layan kan aje though I'm sick with it.

yea, there were 4 of us.

but, experience wise, it was great.

and the other great part is of course, having him around during those mess and fuss time.

thank God he's very understanding, and have so many things in common as I do.

we reached JB at wee hour on Friday, stay there for one night in Suria City Hotel as it is the nearest hotel in JB-Spore causeway. The room was okay la. its only RM98/night if do the reservation via online/telephone.

We initially search for cheap hotel since we only spend a night and less than 7 hours to sleep there.

another hotel yang cantik and cheap is bliss boutique near JB town.

our previous getaway 3 weeks ago, we stayed one night in Bliss and another night in Mutiara Hotel.

and the next day, me and NS woke up very early because as planned, we wanted to reached Spore as early as possible so we dont need to rush to get a ferry to go to Batam, Indonesia.

we drove to singapore since malas nak naik mrt and buses,and guess what? since things didnt go well as planned, we only spend 3 hours in Sentosa Island.

got the chance to take the luge and skyrides only.

due to traffic jams and unforseen circumstances serta kelembapan orang nak bersiap and bangun tidur, and nak rush pergi stulang to get a ferry to Batam.

Tukar sgd50 pun tak habis.

and next, when in Batam, tak payah cakap la the fuss in imigration macam mana plus the system and facilities mmg teruk lah.

nak berasuah je keje and we have to pay them sum amount since one of our friend tak lepas masuk.

i don't know how on earth I say yes to Batam. Maybe sbb nak pergi spa and massage murah that cost you only rp200,000 for dark chocolate warm massage which is equal to rm70 for one and a half hour.the only thing that satisfied me most while in batam.

transportation? bayar aja driver taxi nya. total rp160,000 dia bawak pergi cari hotel, makan, hantar pergi ferry bawak pergi mall. for ferry rm123 frm stulang-batam-stulang and tax dekat batam rp105,000.

nak makan pun susah because it was already 12 a.m, mall dah tutup so we have to walk around cari kedai makan and saw this food court so dengan confident masuk sekali semua bak kut teh and katak.

jalan2 lagi for few hundreds meter baru la jumpa one stall yang tak berapa senonoh sangat tapi makan je la sbb lapar.but if during the day it would be lot easier nak cari makan.

hotel? we didnt get a nice hotel sbb fully book + first timer pergi batam and don't know macam mana keadaan. at first dah google some nice and reasonable hotel tapi bila pergi semua fully book.

so we stayed at Grand Mutiara yang hotel nya macam rumah pelacuran 5 star.

seriously memang scary and if you ask would I ever go to Batam again, my answer is definitely NO!

dah la aku pening gila everytime nak bayar sebab semua main puluh-puluh ribu and juta rupiah.

*singing to Friday, parody by JJ hitz.fm*

its only one week.
but im soooo tired!
hope I can get used to it handling piles of work, going back home late.
the job is fun, I deal a lot with production, kids, education and etc.
but maybe I'm not used to it, just yet.
hope i can catch up the with the rest of the team soon, and membiasakan diri balik lambat.

and guess what, another weekend getaway since we both really need it.
he's freaking stressed out with never ending cases in court.
so I think this is the right time, we need some energy to boost the working spirit up!

till then,
back to work!

hey babies I'm back!
life was a bit hectic for the past few days. busy with my short vacation and running some errands.
i have prolly about 9 days before I start working
HR just called to make it official on my application.
I'll start on the July 1st.
I don't know how it will gonna be like.
and I'll be based in Astro Wisma Penyayang in Sri Kembangan. gila jauuuuuuhhhhhh from Melawati.

another awesome possum things happen was my awesome possum short vacation to Singapore

greeaaaaat singapore sales, I end up bought lots of tops dresses, shoes and perfumes.

1 dress + 2 batwings top + 2 Shoes + 1 studded top + 1 honeysuckle top + 3 perfumes = SCORE!!!

we drove there so curfew was not an issue so tak payah kejar-kejar busses and MRT.

there were 5 of us, and we stayed one night in Mutiara Hotel JB and another night in Bliss Boutique Hotel.

Bliss boutique hotel ni hotel budget but once u get in here, seriously its worth your penny and cantik gilaaaaa!

this time our main purposes are shopping and sight seeing. next time will definitely come again nak masuk USS.

and talking bout result, Alhamdulillah. I am officially graduate and a degree holder after I get my last final result.

though there's a bit disappointment because sipi lagi nak dapat 1st class Hons, but I am grateful I finally complete it.

thinking of doing Master but dad wants me to work for several years to gain experience dulu.

Well, we'll see what God has planned for me :)

p/s: it feels so good when i dont have to worry to make sure my phone has full battery supply, didnt get barred and etc during the vacation because he was all by my side :) and waking u next to him is the best feeling ever :)

25 years jail and 15 strokes for child rapist

2011-06-10T18:21:00.000+08:00

KLANG: A scrap metal collector raped an 8-year-old girl in a toilet of a school hall during a wedding last week "because he was intoxicated".
M. Suresh, 27, told Sessions Court judge Datuk Anita Harun that he was drunk when he committed the offence.

His mitigation, however, did not spare him from a hefty jail sentence.

Anita sentenced him to 25 years in jail and 15 strokes of the rotan after he pleaded guilty to raping the Year Two pupil in the toilet of the school hall in Sekinchan between 9pm and 9.15pm last Saturday.
Anita ordered him to serve the sentence from the date of his arrest on June 4.

Suresh was not represented.

Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Nizi Shazril Ithnin urged the court to pass a deterrent sentence to reflect the severity of the offence.

"The victim is only 8 years old and the incident has scarred her for life."

Based on the facts of the case, the victim and her brother-in-law were attending a wedding when she wanted to go to the toilet.

Suresh followed the girl into the toilet and raped her. Her brother-in-law, who was waiting outside for her, rushed in when he heard her screaming.

He then saw Suresh running out from the women's toilet naked.

With the help of several guests, they ran after him and caught him hiding in a nearby drain.

p/s:
what else should I say?
he studied law for several years, and seeing his name appeared in news make me feel so proud of him.

Luncheon & Dinner : Nasi Ayam Lemon

2011-06-09T15:43:00.000+08:00

cooked nasi ayam lemon for the family.
my first attempt of cooking it : succeed!
and the family demand for it over the dinner, so i cooked it again.
the tricky part is how to make the lemon sauce. although all you need are lemon, corn flour and sugar, but the sour level and thickness of the sauce must be carefully measured.

for the rice, you need : 1 spoon of chicken stock, pinch of tumeric powder, pinch of salt, sliced ginger, i tbspoon of raisin.

for chicken: marinate with spices,chicken stock, oyster sauce, blended onion,lemongrass,ginger and garlic, soy sauce.

for lemon sauce: lemon juice, corn flour, hot water and sugar.

it taste sooooo gooooooood

for recipe in details, do drop by a comment. :)

2011-06-06T21:04:00.003+08:00

so, these are my ex-colleagues during my internship in Astro. i just got this pic today when my colleague tagged me in FB.

fyi, haven't check my FB for quite sometimes, such an achievement right? :)

due to busy schedule, they threw a farewell lunch for me a week after my internship ends at La Risata.

anyway, I will see some of them again very soon though we're no longer in the same team :)

cock and bull story

2011-06-04T20:30:00.005+08:00

I'm confused.

I need a sign.

A sign that will tell me whether to go, to stop or to wait.

sometimes, I wish things can be easy, but on the second thought, life without sorrow will never make u a stronger person.

i.should.move.on.and.let's.see.what.God.has.planned.for.me

well,new life will start very soon.

I applied a job under education department instead of marketing dept in Astro during the Astro job's fair last month.

thought I didn't get the job because I waited for them to call for an interview but there's none, until last Thursday they called and scheduled an interview for me on Friday morning.

it took about one hour and only God knows how I felt at that point of time when the Vice President of Education dept and her Ast. VP asked lots of questions during interview and asked me to write an essay.

thought I screwed it, but come to my surprised, the guy called me later that evening and told me that I got the job as associate of admin coordinator for hitz.tv and education channels and contents.

Alhamdulillah, Thank You Allah. sending out hundreds of resume and attended several interviews in some other companies, I finally get a job!

I'm still waiting for HR dept to finalized everything and insyallah I will start very soon.

and thank you Allah for making the relationship works until this point of time.

facing so much turbulence and with never ending love and patience that we both have, insyallah, we can make it.

Aglio Olio

2011-05-30T17:08:00.001+08:00

i'm good is wasting time.
yes, I am.
i just wasted my last 5 hours being a couch potato.
had DVDs marathon.

it seems like my life is kinda useless now.
i should make full use of it before i'm being employed.

anyway, I cooked aglio olio for lunch.
just to feed in me and baby bro's tummy.
i think, italian's cuisine is what I cook best.
hahahha

all you need are:olive oil, sliced garlic,grind black pepper,dried chili flakes,oregano, sliced button mushrooms, mussels, prawns and squid.

and voila!

just a gentle reminder: since i am unemployed, i'll spend more time on cooking and baking. will keep it update with more fooooooooddddd :)

new journey

2011-05-29T16:50:00.002+08:00

one week with no updates?
sorry.
i'm too focusing in job hunting and spending the most precious time at home with my family.
it's been like what? 7 months since I last had a really quality time at home so this is the payback time.
online through phone pun malas, apatah lagi nk mengadap laptop. facebook is getting bored day by day, so bukak fb pun seminggu sekali.
and I haven't go out melepak for a week. yg dekat2 area rumah doesn't count lah. good girl, am I? ;p

job hunting begins. MAS, AIR ASIA, MATRADE, CIMB semua i applied. just trying my luck.
nasib IB field is wide, so bole mencuba in any related fields.
nak demand sangat pun tak boleh. bcoz I am a fresh graduates. so sedar kan diri tu.

anyway, done with some re-arrange of furniture in my room and some makeover.
buang apa yg patut di buang.
recycle apa yg patut di recycle.
and sort things out for my next junkyard sale.
will keep u update with the details very soon!

i just cut my hair. lepas tu menyesal sgt2.

because my hair is very healthy,long,black, wavy yg original tak main pergi perm.

pergi potong fringe then tadaaa mcm haram.

i hate i hate i hate but to be rational, hair grows, so let it be. sebulan lagi panjang lah.

and yeah, birthday shout out to my dad! happy 55th birthday daddy!

sorry no gift for this year sebab anak mu tak bekerja lagi. ;p

we just had simple dinner and breakfast celebration and his chosen restaurant, so yeah. that's it.

love u dad!

Week 25 "Final Week"

2011-05-20T14:39:00.000+08:00

so, today is the day, my last day in Astro.
6 months of internship has come to an end.
I had so much fun and given the opportunity to experience myself in broadcast industry, can't be describe in words and how it feels like.
though it is far difference from what I've studied during my BBA, I've gain so much experience and knowledge from my superior and colleagues.
they really rock my world, especially my boss, Mr. Faisal.
sitting next to him throughout my practical training it feels like sitting next to a brother/father/buddy.
we talk about anything, and he had given me ample guidance in doing my task.

sumpah sedih.

anyway,
I've send out about 20 resumes to various company, hope to get a permanent job soon.
the question is : which path should I choose?
