61 keys.

i have just started a newly found interest and i hope that by my birthday this year, i can play a few decent keyboard tunes :). i have a lot to learn by myself :)

Umie Aida is engaged to a Millionaire Datuk.

umie aida is so bluddy gorgeous. pic was from mass email.

@ work.

team mates are the ones who made me going. :) plans, plans for team-gathering. yeay!

cloudy cloudy, meatballs.

watched it with nephew. the colorful food esp giant scoops of ice cream which remind me of SWENSENS (coincidently, colleagues and I were talking about the swensens buffet icecream @ ION orchard outlet), jellybeans, cheeseburgers, doughNUTs, pizza, meatball spaghetti. oh God. even before the movie reaches its quarter, I have already gobbled down 2.5 cheese hotdogs and half of sweet popcorn with ice lemon tee. :) really a foodie movie :)

the littlest things.

*tuning to RIA 89.7*

aurashai n hafiz glamour never fail to give my daily morning boost. suker betol @ both of them. very the kecoh. the teka-tekis & the sabo2, their gaji on every 25th hehe.

was in Kluang yesterday with cousin's family. hari raya visits to my aunt's and her children's. makan2 tak dilupakan untuk dinikmati esp kak ani's asam laksa. this is the thing. i have never liked the white mee laksa and i thought that i am going to despise it for the rest of my life. but i was wrong. just like how i used to not eating honeydew or bean sprouts last time, now i have learnt to swallow the white mee laksa. and it is not bad after all. so the saying is true after all. if you happen to hate something, sooner or later you will like it. it applies to human beings too :) or probably LOVING them hehe.

anyway, sometimes the littlest things in life which we miss noticing, when we ponder and look carefully into it, we will realise we have missed it big time. :)

we must learn how to laugh. how to love. how to appreciate. how to be grateful for what has been given to us.

do not be envious of other pple who receives more than us. because once the envy is permanently in our soul, whatever we have now will be gone in split seconds. so pls be grateful.

for those who have known me long but actually didnt know that i love nature. i love taking candid pictures of human beings too. i always have this conversation with my mother, about how nice it will be if we can spend hari raya @ kampung :)



<- we don't get to see these in sgp. ->




these are my cousin's children. except for the one in green, they are a little deprived. so the littlest things to us mean so much to them especially asking them to pose for photographs :) it's a bit heartening seeing them sometimes. but i can only see them once a year :)


this is part of my maternal side :)

ahh finally.

finally, the layout is back to normal. i thought that it is gonna be forever that i am going to desert it :)

a month of fasting has passed and its 7th day of Syawal. i had a pretty long weekend and the moment i was at my office desk, there the brain froze. serious, really no joke. i didnt know what and where to begin with. it was a complete 10 secs that i just sat and paralyzed! :) i brought some cookies for fellow colleagues and most of them landed inside my mouth. hehe. like crazy having these stuff around me. i like it that the week is short and ALHAMDULILAH, my days went quite smoothly. since weeks before fasting, i have always wanted my Starbucks caramel frap, my old time favorite. last night after work despite having an aching neck due to the really uncomfortable 1.5 hrs NAP during my journey home, i made sure i landed myself in Starbucks. Yummay it tasted so good (finally, my craving has been fulfilled). with my sudoku (CLUEDO version, bought it @ pageone), it was a very satisfying 1.5 hrs of coffee, numbers and ambiance until.....

(Miley Cirus' Climb ringtone...)

At the other line : Mak Su, Tok Ki ask, when are you coming back to send me home ?

DOInnkkkkk. It was little niece. Luckily, I was almost done. Else, it would have turned out to be a very bad Friday Night. Just imagine while having the first sip and the hp rang.

i have checked out some beginner keyboards which cost $199 @ Best Denki, Junct 8. Surprised that there is one under Yamaha. So probably, I might consider it before CASIO. Ah, while browsing at Page One, i bumped into Keyboard for Beginner kit!! hehe. It comes with CDs , manuals yadayada but there wasnt any price tag. Maybe i shall go back again and if everything is in order, i will grab it. i have not decided the spot in my room to place the keyboard, but definitely i need a power source. actually, i am left with not much choice. actually, i can only place it at one place which is near my window and my pretty curtains, hehe.

family and I might be going for a shortie trip to aunt's place in JB tomorrow. apparently, dad is on clinical drugs and he couldnt drive. so, yeaaa..probably i might be driving and Monday is my official absence from work !! :)

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! :)
