Anak Dara Omak

Its seem quite a while since I last share stories of my kids.. Hari tu je semangat masa dorang masih kecik-kecik lagi.. So, meh la hari ni aku share cerita anak dara aku yang sungguh ayu gitewww..

Anak dara aku ni kalau tengok badan memang kecik comey je.. Umur dah 1 tahun 8 bulan 9 hari.. Tapi berat baruuuuu je 10kg.. Kira ala-ala jaga badan gitewww.. Betul ni!! Dia memang jaga badan sungguh.. Selalu makan, pilih nak makan sayur je.. Buah-buahan tu la favret no 1 dia.. Nasi makan juga la, cuma ayam kompom tak suka.. Takut naik berat kot?? Tapi, junk food tetap mentekedarah.. Kalau ikutkan memang nak tunggu sampai 2 tahun baru nak bagi dia makan junk food, cam abang dia dulu.. Tapi tak dapat nak control, since dia dah ada mentor dia sendiri, which is abang dia lee.. T__T

Kecik-kecik ni dah nampak dah keperempuanan dia, suka sangat la nak 'menolong' bagai bila orang dah sibuk kat dapur.. Orang masak kat dapur, dia pun masak juga.. Cumanya kat lantai je la.. Hehee.. Mana orang buat kerja, situ la juga dia akan menempel sama, 'menolong'.. Anak omak la katakan.. ^o^  Tapi satuuu je hobi dia yang lain daripada yang lain, yang bukan cam anak dara.. Suka memanjat.. Yang ini pun kompom belajar dari mentor dia.. Huhuu..

Walau apa pun, favret anak dara ku sorang ni, semoga jadi anak yang Solehah dunia dan akhirat.. Amin..

Blog Marathon

THREE post in a row!! Phew.. Can I cal this a blog marathon? I was just flipping through my old post, and feel surprise and more than happy that I managed to jot it down here.. At least, I have something to reminisce in the future..

And now, while I'm trying to to do some revamp to my blog, i noticed that i had forgotten most of the html language that i had put all my effort to learn way back during i was an active blogger, like five years ago.. FIVE?? Oh, how i had missed many things about blogging.. Seriously missed..

I think this is a new chapter for me in blogging then.. I have to do all the html studies all over again.. Oh, what a waste.. *sigh

Percubaan Posting from Mobile Apps

Ok,whatever it is, nak try juga create post dari mobile apps ni.. Or else, just nak tggu my one fine day yang entah bila, memang tidak bersua la gamaknya kita.. Huhuhu..

Hahaha,boleh tak,after quite sometime tak update blog, buka2 je blog main terjah je ek.. Macamn ni nash terjah pun kalah.. Ok ok ok.. Assalamualaikum semuaaaaa.. ;)

So,where do i start? Family? Career? Business? Friends? Maybe the very recent one,my kids has entered taska?

************************************************
Hahaha..

Di atas ni adalah antara entri yang terbengkalai yang satu masa dulu dengan semangatnya aku mencuba nak post dari mobile apps.. Taip satu perenggan, tunggu seminggu, sambung lagi saatu perenggan.. Sudahnya, macam ni lah jadinya.. :p

Doakan saya semoga istiqamah dalam mengupdate blog ni ye.. Saya rindukan zaman blogging saya.. & now facebook had taken the lime light.. T__T

Gone case!!

Demmm..

Maaf untuk permulaan yang kasar ini.. Tapi memang saya amat kecewa sekarang ini..

Baru saja hati berkobar-kobar untuk meng'update' dan meng'upload' gambar-gambar hari raya, tiba-tiba semua gambar sudah hilang, don't know why, but it seems it was affected by virus..

5p programme and others..

Finally,i manage to take time off and bring my PATI-maid (sekarang sudah tidak PATI lagi ye) to immigration counter and register with the 5p programme.Should you do not know,5p programme consists of:

Pendaftaran - to register PATI in the biometric system
Pengampunan - Penghantaran pulang PATI tanpa sebarang tindakan
Pemantauan - monitoring of course
Penguatkuasaan & Pengusiran - takyah eksplen la ye,the name already shows.

Well,i'm not trying to represent immigration here.Just sharing the knowledge since me myself earlier pun agak payahnya nak gather info regarding this 5p programme,i have to go to Jabatan Tenaga Kerja twice,called Bilik Gerakan immigration twice,flipping thru newspaper for God knows how much,surfing internet,asking around,etc,pendek kata memang susah la,tambah lagi dengan maid yang hari2 tanya risau terlepas program 5p.

Well,masa nak pegi register tu memang a whole new experience for me.Tambah-tambah lagi pegi dewan yang penuh dengan PATI which suddenly i felt like i am the one who's foreigner.Huhu..

Since my maid had to come along to register in the biometric system,my son also had to tag along cause nobody is looking after him.Fuhh,it's definitely a challenging task for me.I had never all this while bring my son together when i had something important task to settle.

Ok,to cut story short,everything went smooth,from filling up form,maid biometric registration (apart from adegan tolak-budak-pompuan-kecik-nasib-tak-nangis),lunch at kedai mamak & receive complimentary sweet from tauke,continue running inside the hall & again so lucky to receive free corntoz from makcik imigresen,which later ended in my stomach (well,it's not good for kid you know,hehe),and to Jabatan Tenaga Kerja office.

I think at this point of time,my son had started to feel bored.Bayangkanlah,it's been 6 hours and all he sees was only officers,computers,forms,older serious people but no toys.Mula la adegan jerit menjerit,kejar mengejar.Earlier it was ok,lari jerit-jerit dalam dewan besar mana orang nak peduli.But in a 600sq feet office,confirm la jadi tumpuan semua.For sure ada orang cakap,'anak sape la ni tak reti duduk diam,mak dia tak reti-reti jaga budak'.Hey,he's only 19months old.Mana nak faham apa2.They just know having fun.Daripada larang dia and later nangis meraung macam anak kena dera,lebih baik biar dia berlari-lari dengan tenang,haha okay memang tak tenang,tapi tenang sikit la dari nangis meraung kan.

Sedang asyik leka baca-baca paper sambil membiarkan anak berlari-lari,tiba-tiba pula dengar everyone panicking.Bila tengok je,anakku dah mengerjakan kotak peti cadangan yang tergantung kat depan tu.Memang dah patah mematah habis.Sebelah kiri tu pun dah takleh gantung,senget ke sebelah kiri.Aku dengan panik berkejar ke depan dan mencuba sedaya upaya mengembalikan kotak peti cadangan ke posisi asal.Nasib baik masih boleh selit kat screw driver yang tinggal.Nasib baik la staff-staff kat situ begitu tekun bekerja,tak perasan pun kejadian tu.Kalau tak mau kena halau time-time tu jugak.

Haha,confirm la lepas ni tak boleh bawa anak ke urusan-urusan kerajaan ni.Huhuu..

Time's not up

I just finished doing my e-filing when i realized that the due date is actually on the 30th Of April not 31st Of March. Sh*t.

Timbul rasa kekesalan sebab dah terbuat e-filing waayyy early than the supposedly a last-minute person will be doing. Apekah..

Still no signs of it coming.... Can this be REAL??!!

p/s: urghh.. i hate the diamond shape stars. @!$^(%&^

Misscalculation

Kalau tak silap, hari ni 23 Mac kan? Means, another 3 more days for me to celebrate my third month wedding anniversary. I am sooOOoo bless to be married to the very wonderful person in the world, though these days, only half of the time i am with him.

But that's not the case. I am a bit confuse now. If only 3 more days to complete that 3 full month, then why is our wedding ticker says,

'2 months and 25 days since we tied the knot'?

Isn't it supposed to be,

'2 months and 28 (31-3) days since we tied the knot'?

I am wondering what will it be when come to 26 march 2009, our 3rd months anniversary. Will it says,

'2 months and 28 days since we tied the knot'?


Or would it be,


'2 months and 25 days since we tied the knot'? + 3 days = '3 months since we tied the knot'?

Am i confusing you already? Then, let we do some simple maths here,

26 Dec to 26 Jan - 1 month
26 Jan to 26 Feb - 1 month
26 Feb to 28 Feb - 2 days
1 Mac to 23 Mac - 23 days
Total - 2 months and 25 days

Damn!! Why did they have to make it so complicated. *sigh*

Godzillandlady

Pheww, finally, my blog is in order again, after seems like ages fixing it. These days, i am really really a busy 'career woman', justification of being a relax housewife, hehe. For the first time in my seven years of career, i have to take home my work, though bukannya buat di rumah pun. ;p Saja untuk menyedapkan hati, and one way of showing to my staff that i am really committed with my work, hehe, hopefully nobody from the office is reading this, ;p

Since me being busy, nothing interesting happening that can be shared with the blog. Furthermore my writing skill have been drastically deteriorating since i've started to learn delegating my work, and tell you, I AM A SUCCESSFUL ALLIGATOR DELEGATOR!! I am yet to miss a thing on earth that i didn't delegate. And it's been long since i last drafted a letter. ;p

On a lighter notes, i've rented a new house to cater for a new 'housemate', nahhh, just to be nearer to the office. My landlady *bukan nama sebenar was my high school senior. Initially, it all seems to be ok. I am thrilled to know that i'll be dealing with the one i knew, though i am not really close to her back then, doesn't even recognized her at first.

Then the story begins . . . A month past, second month came . . . everything turned out NOT to be ok. She keep SMSing me every single day, day and night. She will ask every single issue under the sun, like she has no other work to do. And sometime she can be very very irritating with word, especially when it comes to house rental.

I remember one day, before renting the house, i was at Segama. She SMSes me,

So, what's ur decision? (of me renting the house)

Being in Segama, with loads of people around, there's no room for me to answer that SMS. So i just leave it unanswered, plan to reply once i got back home. But she didn't even give me a chance, about 2 minutes later, she SMS again;

'Zu, r us till keen enuff 2 rent d unit? otherwise I cn gv wys 2 othrs who is interested!!'

I was like, why is this lady, I had already confirmed-affirmed-green light-stamp of approval-go ahead-whatsoever on earth to say that i wanted to rent the house. Tapi this godzillandlady nak ugut aku bagai, nak kasi kat orang lain la konon. Rumah area tempat jin bertandang ni ada ke orang nak sewa??

And today (actually last week) trivia SMS that she sent to me was,

'Wht is d status of d hse? they (maintenance team) r goin to do d acess panel, it wil tk 1dy, so whn r u goin 2 b free.. othrwse nx wk i wil hv 2 open d hse 4 thm 2 fix it'

This is the second time she wanted to go in the house when i was not around. Macam la pulak kitorang ni housemate nak tolong bukakan pintu for others to come in when i was not around. Nak kata sedara belah bapa pun tak jugak, apa lagi kan belah mak.

Then, i made the toughest decision ever - I"VE PADLOCK THE DOOR!! Suits your self Godzillandlady!!

We are not that bad....

Those time, when there were less publicity for Sabah in the media, outsider especially 'peninsular-ian', have this 'some' kind of perception for Sabah. I am aware that those mind sets were influenced by the image, awful image of Sabah displayed by the media. Remember during elections campaign, when government wanted to Sabah from PBS, they played this strategies of showing to the nation the non-developed part of Sabah - squatters, thick jungle, etc. And of course those who had never been to Sabah would thought Sabah is nothing more than the third world countries - underdeveloped.

And hence, this is what we Sabahan have to go through as a result of government brilliant strategies;


Scene 1

My friend and I was chatting about our experienced on driving when I say, I
always drive on the left lane when I'm goi. . .

My friend: Eh, Sabah got more than one lane meh?


Scene 2

My sister was staying at her adopted family in Johor. While preparing lunch, one of her adopted family asked her;

How do you cook back in Sabah? Do you have rice cooker?


Scene 3

One of my Sabahan senior in college once told me that she was once asked by a peninsular-ian;

Macam mana kamu pindah rumah ek? Kena pakai tali ke?


Scene 4


One of the peninsular-ian teacher in mom's school admitted that before coming to Sabah, she was told to bring rope along. And she did!!!





Okay, to show that we are not that bad, I post some pictures for your eyes and see what Sabah has to offer. Visit Sabah Year, hehe, suka-suka hati aku jak.


Our Island - Sipadan Island


Our Mountain - Mount Kinabalu


Our Resort - Kinabalu Pine Resort


Our Waterfall - Maliau Basin Waterfall


Our Shopping Centre - Warisan Square


Our Airport - Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA)

Skill posing 90 darjah.

Skill posing control macho.

Skill posing tidur tak ingat dunia.

Okay, now I'm ashamed.

My predicament.....

I'm having this predicament right now. Wanting to choose between moving to Tuaran and Ranau is a hard one since i've never really been into Tuaran, and worst it never occurred to me that Tuaran had their own area that they can call Pekan where skyscraper all the shop lots are located. All these while, Tuaran to me is a village which most houses is located along the roadside, either along the way to Kota Belud or Ranau. And all i can think of when people mention Tuaran is Pantai Dalit, other than that Tuaran is a must go place during Hari Raya - one of dad's close friend house is there in Tuaran. Having said that, now you can blame me for being so narrow-minded.

Back to the topic, it is official that I am to be transferred to Tuaran. However, dad, mom, sis, all in the family proposed to me, instead of Tuaran why don't I opt for Ranau. Mereka ingat, ini company bapak aku yang punya ka? *Sigh. Tapi, baiklah (sebut seperti pelakon alih bahasa drama jepun), your wish is my command. I'll tried with all my heart, my soul, my money (kena rasuah sket nih, hehe).

Before that, i need to first analyze the advantages and disadvantages of those two places. Wah, suddenly realized that i'm applying the problem solving method, sure boss nangis kalau tau aku buat nih. ;p



Ranau: Ada cousin yang nakal2 belaka yang akan datang ke rumah semata-mata untuk cek isi di dalam fridge.
Tuaran: Takde sesape nak cek fridge, so takyah le susah-susah beli fridge.

Ranau: Hampir tiap2 bulan sedara mara akan buat kenduri kendara. Bleh dapat makan free, di samping bleh menambahkan baju-baju baru kat wardrobe, sebab baju lama dah tak muat.
Tuaran: Setakat ni belum ada lagi panggilan kenduri kat Tuaran, kecuali Hari Raya, so tak kena cuci piring. ;p

Ranau: Takyah susah-susah nak cari rumah sewa. Bleh tinggal kat parents house.
Tuaran: Rumah sewa takde, terpaksa la tinggal kat rumah panjang (quarters).

Ranau: Distance dari rumah ke opis hanya sekangkang kera. Bleh save minyak
Tuaran: Distance dari rumah, kalau tak tinggal kat rumah panjang, ke opis adalah sekangkang badak.

Ranau: Ramai sedara-mara yang akan datang bertanyakan tentang masalah-masalah berkaitan dengan elektrik.
Tuaran: Disebabkan takde sedara-mara yang akan datang, berkemungkinan besar kedatangan gangster-gangster ke opis tidak akan dibendung lagi.

Ranau: Walaupun bangun tidur pukul 07.55 pagi masih lagi boleh sampai ke pejabat tanpa kaler punch card bertukar merah.
Tuaran: Walaupun bangun pukul 04:55 pagi, masih tidak boleh, dan kemungkinan tidak akan sampai ke pejabat kerana banjir.

Ranau: Mungkin boleh balik dan sampai ke rumah pada pukul 05.05 petang.
Tuaran: Sama seperti point di atas, mungkin tidak akan sampai langsung ke rumah, kerana banjir.

Ranau: Boleh dapat sumber sayur-sayuran yang segar dari belakang rumah, tetapi dapat ikan yang sudah lama mati - tidak segar.
Tuaran: Tak boleh dapat sayur tang segar, tetapi boleh dapat sumber ikan yang segar.


Hmm, so far, that's all i can think about. So, what do you think guys? Should I go to Tuaran or Ranau instead?

Isn't It Ironic?

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

Goodbye Sunday, Hello Monday~~

Today’s Sunday. And that implies that weekend is almost over. *Sigh. If I were to plot a graph on my happiness level vs days, it would definitely look like this;


Hahaha.. Indeed my system is exceptionally dormant on the very beginning of the week. And would be incredibly full of life by weekend. Mind you that I’m talking about my mood here. Hence, it is forgiven for me to wake up very late on the weekends, couch potato-ing all day long, endless-counting-of-shopping-staircase mission, et al because that is the major contributing factors of my sky-scraping happiness level. ;p

Even so, my happiness level for last week has been declining. Last week was the meeting week for me. Masses of meetings to be attend. Sitting all day long being the spectator of all sort of argument, judging which member has the highest pitch, and which member has the likelihood to win the boiling point contest, remember the one in AXN, or is it E-channel, on those who is able to tolerate on what being done to them, at a certain time interval will win $100, was very backbreaking.

Okay, that one is only applicable for the normal committee member of the meeting, but being the secretary is much more demanding. After ting-tong-ting-tong-ing, it’s-not-my-duty, tai-chi-ing kind of thing, it’s then left to the secretary to vigilantly word the statement to be minuted. Apparently, it’s actually easier said than done, especially when the chairman is not helping at all, and worst involved in every argument they had!! Urghh, seems that this company had the policy of must-argue before they can come out with some sort of mutual agreement.

One solution is to constantly ask on what have been decided in the meeting. But hey, it would definitely look bad to them as if you’re not paying attention to the meeting. So as to jaga your air muka, just put an i’m-aware-of-what’s-going-on face and pretend that you understand every single word of their so-called discussion. And later, when the minute writing part comes, simply ask and say that it’s just for a confirmation.

As argument is part and parcel of the meeting conducted, I get to see loads of unsatisfied faces throughout the weeks. Honestly, I don’t like what I saw. I am in the opinion of, argument is not the best approach for any problem-solving, be it for work, personal or family. People should negotiate instead of arguing. The world would sure be a better place to live if all is about negotiating. Hmm, let’s not elaborate on this matter as I am no expert.

Anyhow, I praise upon myself for being tranquil enough to have survived the whole intense week.A+++ for me. ;p

Spend Less and Still Have a Great Wedding

When i was a kid, i always looked up on grown up people. The thought of having the freedom to manage your own money make me wanted to grow up hastily. Looking back in time, I still remember me following dad withdrawing money from the ATM machine. We, me and my sister/brother will always watch in great admiration those ATM machine doing its wonder producing money whenever asked for. We thought it's cool to always get the money from the ATM machine whenever we want to. It never occurred to us that we have to earn the money.

Now that i've grown up, secured a job, experts of all-money-wasting-activities, pengguna credit cards sejati, become acquainted with most of the financial term - hire-purchase, loan, overdraft, et al. I started to see life from different perspective. Especially when the wedding bell is already ding-dong-ing. I realized that money come with responsilities. The more you earn the bigger your responsibilites, besar periuk, besar la kerak nya, cheewah. And i learn that being a shoppaholics, big spender, money-wasting-activities, retail therapy, or whatever you can call it, is a dead end route, lead you to nowhere. Well i agree that maybe, some of the time we need to award ourself with all those things, but we have to limit ourself. I've been thinking, what if, with all these economic turmoil - merger, bankruptcy, downsizing, layoff, outsourcing, suddenly i lost my job, how long can i sustain my current lifestyle with the saving that i have now?

Thereafter, i stopped buying all those unnecessary, i started to differentiate between needs and desire, keperluan dan kehendak, do i sound like Venga now?
And i've drafted my long-term financial goals which will lead to my ultimate goals to achieve financial freedom!! Praying hard that i'll stick to this one. Hopefully it'll not be the same as the previous one which had happily went to the rubbish bin.

Haha, started to feel bored and annoyed with my non-stop nag? Well, actually i wanted to share something on wedding budget which i found on the net. Who says you cannot have a great wedding while spending less?

Pay In Cash – Whenever possible, pay for your wedding expenses in cash. Do not worry about paying for the food: most hotels and restaurants accept the balance payments in cash after the event. Eg. Angpau money given by guests. If you have to use credit, have every wedding expenses recorded on a spreadsheet and monitor its total closely to ensure that you don’t blow your budget.

Consider Alternative Venues – A luxurious background setting in a hotel ballroom looks really nice but a simple garden wedding surrounded by loving family members and friends is even nicer. Couples who focus on love instead of money tend to fare better in their marriages later in life.

Build Domestic Team Work – Encourage family members and friends to take part in your wedding preparations. Let them volunteer their talents to help you make this a truly memorable event. This helps to bring you closer to them besides enabling you to cut cost and save some money for your future.

Good luck to me on my wedding budget!!
