A Breath of Fresh Air - everybody's remedy
Maybe it had saved many tears and helped me to move on fast. I missed them already; but thinking about the workload I have been given and how many times I cried alone in the bathroom; How many calls the suppliers have made to scream to me asking for their money (which by the way, they have to ask the finance regarding any payments) and endless paperwork and tons of billions other things that made me, I think to resign is the best option.
I admit that I kept myself remote from others from the first few months I joined there. It kept my perspective straight and away from the office/management bureaucracy. Only later that I have made some friends to vent my frustration or just gossiping.
Hehe.
It has been a week that I have become jobless. I may will be starting on my part time soon, and I have start preparing for me to start studying. I may go somewhere where passports need to be taken together soon for a quick break cum business opportunity.
Talking about this makes my stomach twirl with fright. I hope I have what it takes to endure such things all over again.

The shifting process is not entirely done but Im leaving so I dont think it is my concern anymore.
Alhamdulillah.. the new librarian have came in last week and handover notes have been done so far everything except the acquisition part have been covered; plus I am sure with the experience that he had previously, he will not have any problems handling this library.
Good luck for your future library undertaking, Syuq. Beware of the office 'snakes' and 'sparrows'.. Haha.
Bold move from a person that already decide not to give a twit of concern anymore.
These are the boxes of books that have been arranged accordingly and labelled by using call no.
The shelves have been disambled and taken to the new place; leaving boxes of books behind. If I am not mistaken, 180 boxes all together for books, more than 20 boxes for library documents and other stuff, 12 boxes of library PCs and 32 boxes of library file holders.
This is the internet usage station for students and I will definitely miss this arrangement as in the new building the arrangement is rather vertically boring.
This is Fiza in the new building. She probably thinking hard on how to settle this hundred of boxes with only 4-6 people power?You can see behind is the metal pieces of the shelves being lay down and ready to reassamble. We are all very sceptical on meeting the dateline but hehe.. But we have made it, with the help of a few good people around.. We thank you all for your support!! (You know who you are guys~)The library is partially done when we open it up for students and within a few days and weeks, the internet connection is on and soon we will have the new photocopy and printing services (with a charge card, students have to buy lorr..)
It is overwhelming to see that through our sweat and dreadful hours, it turn into something that everyone give compliments to.
**big smile here.
Within the last few days, we have held a pot-luck party to welcome Syuqri into this team and I got to say proper goodbyes to everyone that have been through a lot with me.
Pictures will be put up later.
Till then.

Online @ Pearl Int. Hotel, PJ. & Dynasty Hotel, K.L.
We never know what kind of good comes when you have submit some in the past.
It will be only days before I will last called as a librarian. I am surely will be missing all the actions and friends I made along the journey. But first, there will be a great project for me to finish before bidding farewell.
I felt that a sudden panic attacking me. I dont think I'm ready just yet.
Oh, well.
I cant dream a dream of highest peak of the mountain, and refuse to struggle climbing for it, right?
P/S: Food here is not bad, but there are too many people at one time. And I have heard that the rate per room here is astonishingly high.
Okay, till then. Or at least until the training ends.
Tara!

Pressure working for the pressureee..
We all love to blame to others for any implications that dragged us to shitty situations. I am sorry for those who have been trapped into that situation and I think I can imagine how they suffer in silence; especially if it circulating among the ones that have the most influence and power.
How to overcome? The truth is, it is still remain a mystery and it is up to one-self to stand up to fight for it or to just lay low for it to pass by.
I don't know why I am writing all this but I think it have to do with situations my friends are facing now. Nothing like that ever happen to me; Alhamdulillah and hope it never will.

Are Va~
How can I ever stand if my father suffucate me like this?Could a father ever be so overly protective for his daughter? In Papadom. they do. The movie portrays an undivided love of a father to his daughter and through the pressure of granting his late wife's wish.
All I can say is, this is the best movie Afdlin have ever done so far; and I think this genre and it wicked approach of bringing some values through humor is amazing.
I have read through some movie makers interviews and they claims that it is harder to make people laugh than cry. I agree. There are so many types of jokes that are funny but most of them arent funny enough to be presented in a movie.
To that, there are many of trial and error need to be done to understand the crowd wants and certainly this film have been through several research to capture the most audience. I went to one of the cinema to watch the movie; and although it is weekdays it is semi-full house.
Congrats, Afdlin.
and thank you for a great entertainment.
*go to the cinema near you to watch a known love secret between a father to his daughter. You wont regret it.

The will that confused
Don't mind yourself to give me words of advice or two, for that I have lost my will.
--
On the other end of frustration and self-guilt and not to mention being a whine-ass, a ray of sunshine shone as my SIL, Kak Su have presented me a lovely blouse (which I really need seeing that ALL of my other clothes cant seem to fit any longer) and a box of elaborated stationaries in verge of my preparation to continue my study.
**terharu.
I felt loved and cared.
This past few weeks, my mood swing have become more severe and I like to blame the lack of management of mine(or others, I dont know..). High expectatation also have become my strongest enemy as I am forced to live up to it rather than go flowing with my style. All this have resulted constant hostile behaviour and tensed conversations (with my husband.)
I have done some thinking and I THINK I might have some answers;
1. Post PMS symptom - often occured to those with irregular menses, as I just had my period once since September.
2. Bad time management - I am always a puctual person. However, too much things and errands and too little time given have made me tense and a lot of things going on in my mind right now, and I cant flag them high or low priority.
3. I think too much - Too much of 'what ifs' and the full 4W1H questions and trying to come up with various answers have making me want to throw things.
What else? But if I think hard enough, I say that I only have myself to blame. Tell me, how do I cope with myself not being me unless I started to act like one (by being me?)
Haha. I sound like someone who have taken a strong antibiotics for flu.
By the way, I have some new pictures; will upload soon.
Tara!!

Selamat Hari Raya!!!
Day 1
Had our Solat Sunat Aidilfitri at Sunway Mosque, which I certainly feel like being in elsewhere but Malaysia. Too many foreigners but one moment caught my attention as I saw a young man sitting on the stairway crying with the background sound of the takbir. I am not so sure the cause of it but two things slip through my mind;
a) Is either he felt touched with the sentiment of Syawal that he couldnt make it to be with his lovedones,
or
b) He was too overwhelmed by the affectionate scenes showing in front of him; a large group of Nepals, Bangladeshies, Saudis and Nigerian..hugging each other and loitering the compound. I bet he thinks that these people have invaded Sunway on Syawal.. hehe, no?
Right.
A day before Raya, we successfully cooked Rendang Tok; what is raya without it. A long 5-6 hours of cooking definitely prizes us with a delicious delicacies.
People start visiting as early as 11.00 am; nearby neighbours and relatives.
Day 2
Went to Muar to spend Raya day with Pak Mud, my mom's younger brother. Apparently all of her siblings went there on that day and it is nice to see all of them together. Managed to give angpau to fellow cousins and niece.
Later that evening, the boys had fun in the swimming pool and played fireworks and later went for a steamy delicious seafood nearby.
Day 3
Off to Melaka to join the rest of Hubby's family for meminang (for Hubby's younger brother..) It was nice to see another extended families and the ceremony went well with no hassle. Love the environment, we spend half the day there before head off back to PJ.
Day 4
Pak Chu and us decided to take a day trip to Ipoh, to visit some relatives there and my grandparents grave. Although we dont have the time to visit each and everyone in Ipoh, but we had fun and for those who have received our im promptu visit we cant thank you all enough.
- Here is the picture of me wearing the scarf I bought from Fara (sorry ye Fetty, lambat.)
Cun kan?

Raya spree and Kuih
Well, maybe next time.
Today is already the 21st day in Ramadhan, and suprisingly I am not enthusiastic over any shopping spree. I have been to Mydin earlier this week to accompany my brother to buy his baju melayu ( the quality is good hence it is quite a bargain). I have been to several hot places like the PKNS Shah Alam, Sunway Pyramid and Midvalley but nothing intrigued me just yet.
I dont really mind wearing one of my baju kurung that have overflown the closet.
Since this will be the first time dearest hubby will spend the Raya with us (well, technically only the first day or maybe the second because we will be joining the rest of his family in Malacca) I have decided to cook some special delicacies.

Rendang Tok
ketupat daun palasI also have ordered some kuih but some of it I rather bake myself.

Kuih Tart
That's it then. I am going to make a list for what I need to do before and during Raya.
Happy weekends uolls..

Ramadhan - a special month.
It have been 4 days we fast this year. Any luck that our iman-o-meter piling up, burningly? With all the stalls and foods sold; for me it is quite a challenge.
I remember 8 years ago, when our surau decided to have our morray ( a feast sponsored by whoever wishes to donate during Ramadhan) to be served in a big round tray instead of a buffet; we felt a little bit resent. We were concern about hygiene and responds from the other Muslim people around, afraid that they will refuse to take part of our morray.
I remember that is the thing that made me grew to be comfortable to be one of the jemaah in surau.
Soon after it started, we realized that we have sort of invent something like a tradition; to break our fast together by eating together in a shared round tray. It is nothing like nasi ambang, where the foods being mixed up all together. Ours is divided into 4 sections of rice, a bowl or two of some lauk and some vegetables on the side. One tray can be consume by 4 people. Children all ages can't wait for breaking thier fast at surau. Blooming teenagers taking advantages by gather around thier click and catching up with each other meanwhile ayah-ayah and mak-mak .. well, being them as always.Hehe..
It is just an amazing breakthrough as it was started as to save up energy and manpower for dish washing, turned into something that cant wait to be shared. We even prefer to be served in trays rather than plates whenever there is any ocassions in Surau now.
Our breaking fast ritual starter are some kuih or light snacks brought by housewives or some people like me that are too busy or lazy to baked/cooked any will buy something from the bazaar. Minutes before the azan, we will be busy preparing and diving dishes for 2 sections; men's and women's. As soon as the azan start, we will dig in lightly because only 5-10 minutes time were given to finish up fast and perform our Maghrib jemaah together. Then only we all gathered again to feast the rice. I can still hear the kecohness, simply harmoniuos to my ear.
It shows intergration and educate the young ones to apply the same.
After that, Isyak will come with tarawikh and again we all beamingly joined the crowd. The terawikh are held and perform 20 (ye ke? kantoi buat 8 selalu, hehe) rakaat each time. This routine will go around for 30 days.
Praying hard to be forgiven by Him; though in the sme time have mercy and provide me health and wealthSunday, August 23
Thanks Fara!!
I have been wanting to buy the tudung ala-ekin for quite sometime, only that when the times come I will have second thought because of the over - price tag and I will look more like an egghead wearing them.
But, still when Farasela approach me with her goodies(please click here), I got hooked up.
Im supposed to buy only the brooches because they all soo cute and cheap, but then the shocking pink mixed with black and blue tudung caught me attention.
Singapore .:. Jalan - Jalan .:. - part 2

This is us with Masjid India on the background. Here, there are souvenirs and some handy craft to be bought for friends, but it all look the same as ours in Central Market. The price there are cheap, if you dont count the foreign exchange rate. :P~


We only have a day to travel around but it felt only a few little hours. We left Singapore late in the evening and we promised ourselves to go there next time again.
Singapore .:. Jalan - Jalan .:.

Above picture credited to the Singapore site. Yeah, I finally went there. After Bandung, my hubby and I have decided to make full use of our passports.
So when my SIL called to ask us to go back to JB for her convocation, we just cant refuse. The timing was perfect.
Since the convocation would be on Sunday, and my SIL have a tea party with the big shots to celebrate the genius people in UTM; my hubby and FIL and also me head off to CIQ to enter Singapore.
Me at Arab StreetThe first destination was the Arab St. It was the place to stay for all Hajj pilgrims from all over Asia like Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, to name a few. That is why until now there are still traders of all sorts came from Saudi, and other Arabic countries. The place now are the main tourist attraction.
Gado-Gado SingapuraI've tried the gado-gado. It was delicious eventhough I felt bloated after that ; resulted from too many eating frenzy. There, the local small bistro's mushroomed up the streets and it sort of accupied the Singaporean the 'kopitiam' as they loved their cousines.
Murtabak SingaporeAnother popular food there in Arab street is murtabak singapore. It taste no different from our's only a little bit dry and it served with slices of cucumber with ketchup rather than pink cherlot.

Mixed feeling.
Last few days have been very unexpected days to me. Some of it good but some of it doesn't fall in any of the two categories (good or bad). Most of the time now I feel rather numb about everything. like oh, surprise (ok.), oh my God there is a cat in the hole (ok.), I am getting fatter (ok.). It just as if I have lost my senses. I don't really know the terms for it but it must have something to do with psychiatric dimensions in my genius mind that have been too tired of.. everything lately.
Hopefully my counting of blessing deserves some solace.
**selingan**
It turn out that Horatio's death was bogus. I was so excited for it to end and thought it will be a good one.
Well, okay real life is more important.
**end of selingan**
With H1N1 growing day by day; as a good samaritan (ehem!) I would like you guys to help yourself prevent this epidemic sickness by 3 simple steps;
1. Wash you hands; even when you dont have too. There is 65% higher chances of people to get an airborne infections by touching or exchanging the most little fluid of saliva. It is better for you to follow the correct ways of washing hands using soap produced by the Ministry of Health.
2. Cover your mouth with a hankerchief or towels or tissue while coughing or sneezing. This not only applied to prevent infections, it is a good ethic to oblige.
3. Stay quarantine when you are told to do so. You act may save life.
There you have it. A simple steps to follow.
I am going away for a few days this weekend; tskk.. I cant wait.

Next Big Leap.
I wish the accelerator suits that kind are for sale here. So much so that I can jump around to work or chasing bad guys on the streets in between or just accidentally squashing a car or two.
Hehe. Lovely thought.
Alhamdulillah, I have passed with unexpected marks for my english test. Now that have been done, I need to settle tons of other forms and procedures and authorizing my certs and on and on and on.. 2 months earlier I was counting my blessing to have been lucky and now that the light of beaurocracy have taken it place; I am not so sure about it anymore.
Well, I think it might just have been a jolt of nervousity.
My husband and I have planned to have a small trip during this weekend to the neighbouring country and I hope that I could find something special there to bring back. In other words, IF I could find the monetary funding to buy that gorgeous shoes/purses I saw via net that day.
Happy Mournday.

Mayze - the misspelling of maize (Spanish Corn)
No. They are not another Indonesian band. We had too many of that lately. They are all about rocking hard, experimenting with good sounds,and what is more important is that the band is clearly a statement of 10 to 15 years of friendship where music brought them together.
The genre they carried often misunderstood by many, as rock is not exactly the prime choice for Malaysian market. However, after listening to their track "Propaganda Minda" I will definitely say that this kind of music that convey message for people all ages, despite the hard music. I am sure that they have been working very hard (while enjoying) making this song. It reminded me very much of Muse. And owh, the vocal is so sexy.
Propaganda Minda by Mayze
Pemasaran, pengiklanan, penjualan, kapitalis...
Tv berkata kita dengar, melihat dan percaya
Hak asasi, Hak manusia, Hak berkahak di mata pena
Globalisasi, impian, rasuah di lahirkan.
Demokrasi sudah mati, tak lama lagi dunia,
Harta Benda kuasai, kepala dan minda
Mudahnya untuk diri kita
Tertaksub dengan apa yang dalam tv
Demi nama dan kuasa, nafsu bertambah
Dan hilangnya budaya
Ada yang membangkitkan, TUHAN yang maha Esa
Ku berserah segalanya, dosa dan pahala di tanganMu
Di sini ku menunggu hari penderitaanku, ku berada disini
Macam macam berlaku di dunia hari ini
Bencana alam, perpecahan kesatuan,
Kemusnahan Negara....
Bumi yang kita diami semakin tua, akhirat menanti bila tibalah masanya
Harta tak di bawa ke kubur
Cuma...diri kita.

Lady Gaga in Singapore!!

It just another good reason to visit our neighboring country; apart from end-of-the-year sale shopping spree..Sadly I am not going to be there until after the 13th.
Bugger.
Me and some friends (17 of them) gather together and feast and bitch about life and other people at Flamming Buffet Sunway. It was a sure winner; an impromptu event that Mazlly and I held to sort of 'reunite' some of our long lost friends. It only took us a few days before to organize this and although it is self-sponsored, and thank you Mazlly that have sponsored a delicious choc cake, everybody had a wonderful time, am sure of it.
The event took place on last Sunday, 2nd of August 2009 that happened to be A Friendship Day and it all like became relevant.
--> Although I had no meal for lunch to prepare for the buffet, only a few trips to the buffet tables made me full already
--> Some of the friends arrived late, expectedly and it drove the waiter nuts to head count everyone.
--> We are searching for the next vanue for our berbuka puasa. Places of interest anyone?
To Zam, Naim, Ain, Pak Tam,Yani Hampeh, Meor, Syierah, Ana, Haris, Ayu-Mel, Is, Zura, Cical, Chuck, Mike, Rafi, Syuq, Pyar, Din and Ija. Thank you for being there that day.

Can I throw away this *&^^ a/c?
Should I just disable the parts and throw it to the nearest lake.
Protest.
Meanwhile, I am anxious to wait for my result. Hopefully everything went well. It driving me nuts.
I have been thinking of doing some sort of physical makeover (a part form growing horizontally each bloody week) , like my hair. I know some of you will see no point of having to do something beneath covered hair but it matters because I can flaunt it for my berangan time for myself and also a gift for my husband. (at least I will look more decent than having my hair up clipped and end up looking like a scary ghost. hehe)
It will be easy if I had normal straight hair. But I don't. My hair is very wavy and it tends to make more curls at the end of it. If I opt for a short hair and knowing myself with low maintenance ability it will end up cow licked and improper.
Maybe a little cut and color will be nice.
Boleh tak Sai?

A motorcyclist from Hell.
A sudden crash nearly gave her a shock as she stood still; trying to sink in the incident. A motorcyclist came in her passenger's side of the car and crash her window and took her handbag.
She felt helpless.
It took minutes for her to realize she have been robbed; and pursuing the suspects in such traffic condition was not really an option. A noble old man with his JKR shirt on came to her rescue.
The moral of the story are;
1. The snatch thief have no moral; and if only they have been caught I rather snatch their balls out back than wasting the government money to lock them up and throw them back on the street again.
2. Please women.. put your handbags or other valuable things away from within reach area. if you must, put your handbags on the floor of the car rather than on the seat. If you have no other option; as many of us women carrying 1k plus or higher worth of handbags, put it besides you on the passenger seat, bring out your valuables and put it in the dashboard. Or maybe just don't carry any.
3. I don't really know what skill they have to identify which is the car with handbags on the seat in one glance? Bomohkah?
But seriously, there are many more incidents like this and these culprits have revolutionized and multiplied their plan of attack. According to one of the policemen, there are reports about a snatch thief pretending someone who is lost; a snatch thief with the disguise of someone knocking your car from side/back and robbed you when you stop and the list can go on and on and on..
There are many ways for them to get that evil plans going. It is up to us to be aware of our surroundings.
4. I thank Allah Almighty that my friend is alright; although she was a litlle bit shocked but she survived. I can not imagine if she have the courage to faught back and got hurt or something.
Nauzubillah..
