2009 HariRaya Light Up @ Geylang Serai.

i have watched My Proposal and find that Sandra Bullock is way out of the league co-starring with the male lead of whom i do not know what his name is. Nevertheless, Sandra is amazing, just like Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan :)

after that, we made our way to Geylang Serai. Mum's craving for KEBAB @ the new geylang serai market place brought us there PLUS the hari raya lightup and we spent some time at the nearby carpark where several local artists performed at the ceremony :)

it is a 6-letter word.

this word makes my day and in fact, it will to others. it shows that customers are being appreciative towards our service and effort placed and the promise we made have been kept promptly. i like today or should say "yesterday" because of two things which are 1. i kept my promise and 2. thnk God its friday again :)

Singapore turned 44 last sunday and neither was i @ the stadium nor in front of the tv to watch the same old stuff. in fact, i joined the rest of the nation at shopping mall. probably i could be mistaken as a "foreigner" by other fellow singaporeans who were busy checking stuff @ Daiso as well! being among them, i received the vibes like who cares, those $2 stuff come first yo :)

recap : i enjoyed msia's national day via live firework displays @ 2 separate events. those are the closest to national day which i seriously enjoyed.

same routine, work work work. train, bus. bus train. of late, the train service disruption @ Pasir Ris. caught a Suria actor/calefare who works @ Jurong East Mrt Stn and was in action with his walkie doinkie. i have no idea what his name is. ah, after Fiza O, i would love to meet Sarah Aqilah, the newly-crowned winner for Anugerah 2009. Amazing vocal with WOW factor. she is going to make her cut, if you know what i mean.

i am gonna save more money to get either a PSP or keyboard, not the computer keyboard but the keyboard with nice tune coming out if i have the golden touch. hey, now anyone can self-learn. after my disappointing failure with guitar, hopefully history will not repeat itself and having to give it a pass. NO Way, Yes Way.

i am into this book called "Will She or Won't She?" and have yet to reach half of it and it is gonna be due next weekend. i have a strange thing when looking out for my read. this is soooo strange, believe it or not BUUTTTT i actually look out forrrrr the color of the book and it is PINK. yes. PINK. any shades as long it is PINK :) yes, it is weird of me.

i received compliments from the boss and a client and it read :

1. You have good initiatives, good attitude and has the charisma to wow customer. Your help to the team has never deminish since you cross from the incumbent company to ******* which your experience has been duly share within the team....

2. Glad to see that you have managed to brave through many challenging times during your work in *******. Keep up the good work. Well done!

How I so the wish that i get a raise or something!

BTW, the word is THANKS. :)

yasmin ahmad. alfatihah.

sepet, gubra , petronad ads. great work.

teach me to be bold pls ?

hi...been so long heh. probly been checking on fb acct often than updating this bloggie of mine. anyway, life. working life, not much excitement to share with EXCEPT that there is an eye-candy now :) its not tat im looking forward to work EVERYDAY buttt because things are nottt gg that well @ work these few weeks, even an eye-candy wont help but at least it eases me abit , he he he. ok tat sounds like a cheeky gal.

AND NOT TO FORGET FELLOW MONASHIANS IN MSIA, WHO GRADUATE THIS YEAR, CONGRATULATIONS GUYSSSS! :) FRESHIE GRADS, GO OUT THERE AND GRAB ALL OPPORTUNITIES. I WISH YOU GOOD AND BEST LUCK!

had a swelling good time with family and relatives for bbq. it has been a long time also since we had bbq/chalet event. guess that everyone is too busy to organize one and cousin and I just wanna see justice to be done! hehe. so finally, we had one last week which apparently, it didnt start on a gd note, i mean with another group of outsiders but that didnt ruin our mood at all. life goes on la.

i have watched JANGAN PANDANG BELAKANG CONGKAK. pardon me, but i find it kinda silly but at the same time hilarious. it was abit overdone esp when the 3 humans transform into ghosts. once twice ok la, but after tat, kinda bored la. out of 5, i give 2 la. azlee did a decent job thou.

i have been busy with the fruit king. be it durian puff, durian cake, durian roll, durian pancake, durian ice cream. fulamak. durian craze. fellow colleague likes treating us to durian icecream and the Scoopz @ Parkway Parade is great. like it so much. they sell in tubs of all sizes and its quite affordable too. they have other flavors like jackfruit, coconut, soursop and the usual choc stuff etc.

and tadaaaa...the new pasar geylang serai reminds me of pasar larkin, the cleaner , newer and bigger version :) looking forward to bazaar raya!!!

this week sucks.

this week is the suckiest i have ever head since the start of 2009. suckiest things happening @ work. sucksssss big timeeee. nevertheless, its friday. no way i got affected. life goes on. im happy. and tomorrow, THE family will be hopping into our cars and off to Melaka. this is seriously last minute plan. it works. last minute plan usually works as compared with a plan made wayyyyy donkey years AGO! so going to have a longggg dip in the pool, and get myself all patched up. oh and not to forget to my dad and great daddies all over the world.. H@ppy F4th3r's D4y!

kris allen with Heartless @ American Idol Season 8

Unfortunately, this clip are just shots. they have removed his original live vid.

kris allen. 100 millions.

surprised? i was, definitely. i didnt think he was that good during the finale. neither am his fan nor lambert's BUTTTTTTTTT i loveeeee his rendition of Heartless. LOVEE ittttt. i have always loved guitar sounds but unfortunately i do not cultivate those skills. bought one, not even half way through and i dumped it with my nephew who was barely 8. remember my keyboard ? farah, yes? noooooo i have not. hehe :) i have their sale pamphlet thou.

that aside, i am probably going for THE weekend getaway again sooooon :) Tuan "Agong", here i come!!! this time, more to chill&relax themed with a crowd.

adam vs chris.

if you have not been following, adam gives me goosebumps when he sings and chris is so shy and goody2 type but when he performs, it just surprises me esp last night's 2nd performance, Heartless. he has potential. but for him to win the idol, well i am abit skeptical and it would definitely hugeee disappointment if adam doesn't, we never know. ah well he is already shining like a bigggg star! and i hv to add this, hes bloody tall. reminds me of imran ajmain :)

on a happier and lighter note, i am going to have an early weekend. with things going around in office for the past week, i need to break (*screechhhh). i am happy with things @ work. very nice and approachable and supportive manager with team mates whom i can get along well with. but seeing my members one by one taking a break, i just need to take one. BUT when i see the boss' face, i have a very strong feeling that he was abit hesitant. so, being direct i asked if there is any issue with me taking a day off, i was expecting really a No. hehe. well, its fair enough that i could handle things alone w/o complaining when my buddy is not around. so i dont see why not if its the other way round, right. ANYWAY, its long overdue :)

Helloooo early weekend!

big spread @ clementi woods

Tak boleh ANGZ! after working so hard for weeks, finally it was buffet with fellow team mates and boss. i enjoyed the spread especially the cheesy seafood, prawns and durian paste! sungguh yummy!

Cheesy seafood and Mini Pizzas.


Chicken chop and Shushi. Gambate!



Cold Mussels, Sausage with Corn, Spicy Prawns, Mr Dumpling & Miss SiewMai, Miss Sambal Sotong.


the climax DURIAN PENGAT!

much awaited break and FOOD GALORE!

The much long awaited break has come. I was in sunway since yesterday and my main agenda was to shop for clothes. Why out of so many places? Cos its way cheaper here as compared to back home. 6 tops for $98. Who doesnt want! Well, at least i m a very happy woman now.hehe. my main objective has been met yesterday plus the little ones' stuff. So its siblings' stuff today. 3 hours in the same departmental store.can u imagine that. I was beyond tiredness actually and abit agitated at the end of it cos i couldnt take it. Finding tops for others and deciding over their sizes, whether they can fit it or not, hehe.i tell u, it was tiring. Didnt know getting tops for others is tis tiring until today which i swear will be my last. Actually, it was mum's idea and in the end, i paid for them, hehe. Well, once in a while its ok. They couldnt join us, too bad la. sunway pyramid is getting bigger and there are lots of shops man. But, not every of them are buzzing with crowds.but one thing for sure, no one will get hungry here cos i counted, there are around 112 cafe/snack bars/restaurants/fastfood/confectionery. And, im in one of them, where else but starbucks by the sunway lagoon. Enjoying mocha frap and american baked cheesecake.

They didnt have this here - American Baked Cheesecake


Food is a never-ending story here. even trips to Wendys and Subway, i dragged my parents with me hehe, including Baskin robin!

Woohoo, we're loving this.


They really enjoy our favorite makan place just beside the inn we are staying. Macam ader share je. Every single time we were here, for sure we would drop by to eat. And the makcik at the counter will always ask me, "maseh belajar lagi?". This time, in case she asks again mum is too shy to tell her that we are here to shop and eat so, "jumpee kawan mak kat sini" was the planned answer. And it did happen, she asked. The eating place is called Restoran Sri Bidara, RSB in short. It is located right beside Sunway Pyramid. This is a place where you can find mostly MAN United's banners decorating their walls. If you like having your dinner outdoor, they have it there too with big display screens for you to enjoy news/MTV/the ever-favorite EPL matches.

After hours of window shopping and spending which i think i sud seriously stop for now, i can finally rest my poor feet. Pictures of food below are those that i miss since i left this place. Btw, there are missing company. Gals, if u read this, probably u gals are bz with exam preps etc. we will catch up soon ya! Oh, next on the menu tonite, maybe i will see SOP EKOR! I wanna eat steak!

And i got my juicy steak :)


Juicy tender chicken satay @ RSB.


My must-have cheese nan @ RSB.


They prepare this by sticking the dough onto the wall of this big hot barrel, wait for it to bloat abit and its cooked. have it with this special sauces and even lagi best, TANDOORI CHICKEN. YUMMY!

Had this for breakfast and check out the fish on the right. who eats nasi lemak with IKAN KELI haha.



the story about this ikan keli. i didnt know how to eat this ikan keli until one fine day, i tried it and never stopped hehe. back during old days, i had been observing fellow coursemate's lunch plate and he described this fish as "very very crispy" as its deeply-fried especially its tail. it doesnt have that kinda fishy smell and i just have to try it. following that day, this deep fried ikan keli officially became my must-have item especially with vegetables and kuah lemak, woohoooo. aiyoooo, best la! and recently, i got to know that they breed in padi fields, huhu.

Surprise surprise, ex classmate Ferdi was there. Double-ly surprised, while we were doing some catching up, came the couple who were at the counter with the gal digging notes from her new wallet, haha. We were talking about you before you appeared, speak of the devilooo. About whether you still remember Ferdi, hehe. Ezila and Aqel, very nice to meet you two there plus Yani and Remi who were there too for dinner :) Nice to see familiar faces at old place heh.

Before this trip, I had Carls Jr at Vivocity with officemates and first thing i asked the ehem Malay gal(I think so she is cos her name sounds like one), whether they serve pork, I ended up with cheesy fries only which was oh well, not to my expectation. its the chewy kinda cheese and i was expecting something like KFC's cheese fries but much better judging by its price. And so, I didnt wanna miss my chance of getting Carls Jr burger there. It was a rush actually. Did my last round of shopping before we headed back home and popped by Carls Jr. Its my first time so I didnt think much what to eat so I just choosed something based on my instinct. This big fat juicy looking mushroom cheese burger which cost me RM18 and another slightly smaller beef burger, which in total cost me RM 27. And when it touched my tounge, it was amazing la. Huge, juicy, THICK. hehe. whats their line again ? some prefer it long, but others prefer it THICK ? heheheh.

I like it THICK @ Carls Jr!


All was just worthwhile. Sisters were happy with stuff which i bought.(pheww) Ah, i had my wish come true. After many failed attempts, it is nice being back at a place which i spent quite a while in :) and seeing familiar faces around. This is just Sunway, not yet other places where i used to hang out with the 3 little minies, hehehe. :) There's always another round heh!

Cheers!

flawless - britain got talent.

looks way effortless. amazing guys.
been watching this over and over again.
C.O.O.L. period.

Flawless on Britains Got Talent

17 again : Taken

believe it or not. i slept for 17 hours. what was meant to be the "drink @ starbucks" actually turned out to be the "sleptOnBedForEntireLife" :). the reason probably must be the hectic nights which i spent over the past 2 weeks and thus returning home very late at night. it was like working for almost 10-11 hours everyday anddd yesterday was the ultimate longest sleep i have ever had so far i remember. the tiredness actually snow-balled. SO, that explains the luxury of spending time watching 2 movies. why did i watch 17 again ? it was because *drum roll* i find zac efron very nice to look at. and so i went. he has such outstanding features esp his eyes, nose and sweetttt smile and nice teeth too. the movie is just okay with abit of fun here and there. whats with MILF and teens lovy dovy stuff. go figure yo. next up, Taken. to me, this show is wayyy awesome. liam neeson at that age to be the lead, hmmm its kinda weird actually to see him killing EVERY
ONE singlehandedly. he reminded me of STEVEN SEAGULL! and the music in one of his fighting scenes so reminded me of bond. i give this movie multi-thumbs up seeing also the fact that its a no1 hit in US. the plot was plainly expected. nevertheless, from my point of view on one thing about movies getting into box office is that, if it reflects whatever is truely happening around the globe, the possibility of it becoming a hit is way high. oooohhhh, i loveeeeee when baddddd men get killed/tortured. bad badddd mennnn.

this is cool. i like it. yeay!

this is so convenient. i mean if im on the go somewhere where there is wirelessSG, i can just swear and blog if anything pops up. u know, its the kinda busy period esp this coming weekend. i am just hoping that at the new place, not alottttt of hiccups will happen. God, pls help :)

on a lighter note, i feel like getting my ass now to hmmm, maybe a drink @ Starbucks after i settle my mobile bill of which they EXTRA-INGLY charged me 5.80 for a month of free value-added services. i have made the call with much composure which is quite unlikely of me. but this round, at the other end of the line i think it might likely be a malay lady, so why spoil someone's mood on a Sat morning who already have to bear calls from other UNREASONABLE subscribers, perhaps. hehe.

this was sent thru email.

is this even working ? duh. i know it should. if it does, yeay! :)

desperate for break.

after much hardwork packing for the office re-location and meeting the deadlines and running all over the place to get things done, i need to do something over this weekend which starts today! it was nephew's 8th birthday yesterday and after a hefty fish and chips,sundae,toys and while mum and the 2 aunts blabbering, gossiping and letting out anger and frustration over sumptuous dinner @ swensens, he fell asleep on the table. argh. i didnt take that pic. :)

nevertheless, the 8 yr old birthday boy.





didnt know what he actually likes so i called him up the day before. XBOX and PSP and tonnes of games. what else he needs but the next fav thing is ben10. i was actually caught up in getting the toy fixed and swearing how it actually functions. at last, we got it but it wasnt that impressive enough as impressive as the price!

actually i feel lazy. its hot and im sleepy now and its only 4PM.

tat aside, i feel like having a trip back to memory place. wonder how things are like there now :) i must get out of here.

hola.

its 15mins past 12. and i just downloaded some pics. was busy with facebook. will update this bloggie. i am happy. but weekend is over. my stomach is way bloated and today is niece's 5th birthday.

(Yesterday) Niece on the phone : "Do you know tomorrow is my birthday?"

Kids nowadays.

i watched confessions of a shopaholic over the weekend. and after spending a pretty hefty amount for my new E71, i tot to myself..this shopaholic is hell crazy! any woman out there being this very extra-ordinary towards SHOPPING? tat aside, this movie is good man..way gooddd that i have a very very good laugh over this shopaholic's selengehness (clumsiness). i love her character and seriously, with a good-looking lead actor hey, things get more juicier yo (*drooling*)

i am not in the SHOPAHOLIC category (lemme see, last month it was a digi camera ONLY) SO i am not feeling guilty at all. so finally this...








i still remember, the last white handbag was from my dearest monashian gals. and white reminds me of my watch which cost me $20 @ vivocity AND my bro thought it was 100++.

and ultraRED-looking E71 :



HE HE HE :)

a story behind this phone. over 2 days, its my 2nd set from Singtel. the 1st one wasn't meant for me. i need not explain :)

upgrade.

i did some color shuffles and the header above is created by Sergej Gorodenskiy, Russia. Free stuff, why not :)

why the eyes?

well, through them, if nothing is being spoken, they will say lots of things :)

i want nobody nobody but you.

heard of Wondergirls from Korea?
didnt know they exist until i heard them on RIA. you know when they keep repeating similar track on their morning show. so i thought they must be good and its "Nobody". very catchy track and it reminded me of PUDAR by Rossa. catch them @ youtube. their MV is cute and with an element of humor. their dancemoves are kinda cute too and amazingly ultra-synchronised hence its really nice to look at. very young bunch of gals, as young as 16, yes i wikipedia-ed them. :) their founder planned to have their US debut soon so hmmm... i think they are just like PCD. they can dance and they can sing, thou i cant understand a thing but hey, music is universal.

i am officially a strawberry-addict. bought a box of korean strawberries from coldstorage. munching strawberries. really didnt see this coming until i read a blog which i have been following up regularly. she loves strawberries and chocolate ( heard about the strawberries-chocolate "hantaran" from Datuk K to Siti Nurhaliza ?). and because i believe that i should try something which i think we should do it and not delay so the outcome, i am addicted to them hehe. it all started with strawberries mini tart from delifrance. they are juicily gooddd. yummay :)



picture speaks thousands wordsssss.....

BTW, whats the meaning of a moth dropping by your room ? bad ? andd it was my wardrobe.



had them for my camera tests hehe.


OH and also, will this template work when checking out our local guys ? :)

1. Are you single ?

2. Are you gay ?

3. Are you working ?

hehe.

great great (Now tuning to Rock Hits @ RIA, jiwang beb)

it was a great saturday. the vcd which i bought ages ago, finally i had it unleashed from the plastic! i have read its novel some time ago and it was the first i read from Cecelia Ahern, following that, one or two more. She is the daughter of Ireland's Prime Minister and i have mentioned her in one of my archived posts. most of her novels are of romantic genre. i like her writing style and definitely, the romance :) i had my fav BJs ready andddd the review of this movie, it made my cry at some points, wayyy critical. i feel emotionally attached to this movie, seriously. i have never cried this much since Ayat-Ayat Cinta. depending on him whom you love dearly and losing him, so heart-breaking isnt it? and knowing that he is gone and he wants you to live your life, moving forward and falling in love again, that is so haizzz... i cant think of any words. oh pls, it is hurting me. BTW, hilary swank is HOTTA! her smile and teeth remind me of Julia Roberts.

There u go, movie + crying + B&J's , well icecream is the comfort thou.



P.S I love my pixie!


i was out for sanur befday treat some weeks ago and a friend was sharing with us about this chocolate KINDER egg which comes with a COIN. Coin? u mean money coin? and so i heard it wrongly and it was TOY! (probably, it was the tahu telur or kangkong) a choc with a surprise. i have never had that. i guess its childhood-deprived kinda feeling hehe. and so it cost me $1.70. before opening, i grabbed pixie in case some adults out there kinda wonder whats inside these eggs. so one side is the chocolate which comes with a mini-spoon to scrap out the choc (been eating the other kinder which comes in 2 biscuit sticks of mouth-watering chocolate, so that is nothing) and the other, the surprise. and it was ......


cute stuff and it is a convertible!!! heh heh.



ah, BTW i just remember that i will be putting out the P-plate on 19 march 2009 andd the best thing is, I have not been driving since God-knows-when. Shux.
(OMG, on-air now : Tiara by Kris. Check tat out on youtube ! Juara Lagu. Memory lane yo.)

moving forward, work. i am happy with whatever i am doing now. cant grumble too much now that well, things arent tat good as before, i mean economically. so alhamdulilah with watever im going through now. thou it is hell tiring from mon-fri but well, great weekend is the best remedy :) i am just soo waiting for the end of this month :)
