My thoughts on the 18th Feb 2007

These are what I wrote in a notepad on the 18th Feb 2007...

"What a tiring day…. Today is another round-the-world day for the whole family. My whole family (except my brother in-law, has to work) went to Segamat to meet the family of my sis in-law to-be. Discussed about the date and plan for the wedding of my brother (My 3rd sibling). Luckily my eldest brother and family (as in his wife and my nephew!!) wanted to tag along, so we waited for them at the Jami’ Mosque in Segamat. My poor nephew has a fever… didn’t smile much (but he likes me the most, so he smiled and laughed at me whenever he liked it la… :p)
After the whole deal, we went to Batu Pahat Mall. Sigh…so tired already and we mistakenly took the longest way to reach there. So we reached there around 7 pm. Shopped a bit (my sis wanted to look at the kitchen cabinet set, bla, bla)


Then I saw a former collegue in Sime Darby Engineering!! Wa…. So I just messaged him, and it turned out that he;s working in Singapore now!! At a marine company, doing designing. Lucky you, Adi!! He lives in Pasir Gudang, so I took the chance of asking for a place for my brother as well (he;s gonna start working at MSE in March).

Just now I just finished reading the e-zine from SaifulSham Team. So cool… I picked up a quote I like (and probably can be used for Hafiz’s company’s profile… oopss!! He doesn’t like it whenever I mentioned about him here… OK… so let’s erase that…). All in all, a tiring day, but near the end of the day I managed to do a little bit of work, some ideas jotted down, some nestling inside my head. To be continued tomorrow. May God bless me and all of you.

P/S: To both my dearest friends…. Eija & Aniza (listed down according to age :p), HAPPY 25th and 23rd BIRTHDAY respectively…"

Oopss I... Did IT Again!!

A friend told me today... "Do you always buy big stuffs when you're bored?" Hahahahhahahah... not always Aniza... when the opportunity of a good bargain is there, I just grab it by the horns!

It was soooooooooooooooo boring today at work. There were just 3 staffs including me at the Manufacturing Dept., Kak Wati the secretary, Mr. A and me. I managed to go through the day without going crazy, checking e-mails, e-mailing those who had the same bad fortune to work this week, preparing for tuition class tonight and science assessment test next week, wrote a report on my student's developement, did the flowchart for the process at the production line, helped Kak Wati to wrapped the wedding present for a collegue, and more reports... Basically those are my activities today.

My mom called around 11 am asking wether I want to buy a washing machine. One analog fully-auto cost RM XX and another one digital fully-auto top loader cost RM XX. Damn cheap if you ask me... Doesn't even cost a quarter of 1k. So I asked my dad to purchase it, tranfered the $$ into his account and spent the rest of the day at the office feeling so exhilirated that I had butterflies in my stomach. Around 4:30 pm my dad called, told me they had sent the machine at home and he tried and said it's perfectly OK and they'll send it to me THIS WEEKEND!!! Double happiness!!!! Yay!!!! And double the trouble in my stomach... maybe it was that bihun sup utara I ate for lunch.

So I just couldn't contain my happiness that I smsed my housemates about the good news :D And smsed Aniza... and that's where I got that reply from her. Heheh... So Aniza, if you want any good bargains... stick with me. I'm infectious with discounts and great bargains :p

I heard Mr. A told Kak Wati that the Chinese believed that the 4th day of the Chinese Piggy Year is the best day to work if you want to grab all the luck you want for the whole year. Maybe he said that because his boss (which is my boss as well) didn't approve of his leave for these 3 days, but in my case, such God-given opportunity had crossed, it's just hard to let it by ;p

Kluang Railway Coffee

My shoulder's still sore... another part of my body that is also sore is my heart (metaphorically). And eyes... (something to do with the heart). So sore that I've nearly forgotten about the pictures I took when I was in Kluang last month.


We (as in my parents & I) went to the ever so famous cafe called the Kluang Railway Coffee. Since I didn't drink any coffee (such a spoiler), I ordered 2 sets of its home-made kaya toast and a teh tarik. Felt like heaven for a while there.

Overlooking the railway... from our small table near the cash counter.

Everything, the ambiance is still the same as when it was 20 years ago (as per what my Papa claimed it was) except for the obvious signs of aging of the building. But the multi-layered peeled-off paint, the rusty chicken-coop wire that acts as a gigantic windows to the cafe, the low kopitiam-style tables all add to the nostalgic feeling of the place.

What it feels like to be here... when the train comes??

Not to mention the food. I felt like I relive the good old days where everyone knows each other, where crime is defined by not greeting/respecting your elders. It is a very good place to recollect yourself. It felt like a home away from home, especially on a rainy day.

That's my mom on the right!

I kept on hearing my dad telling me that there used to be an Indian uncle selling nasi lemak and curry puffs on the train (anyway he always took the train from here to SDAR in Tanjung Malim in 1960's). He repeated the story every time we went here ;p I guess that's how I'll be in 30 years time... reliving the histories of my life to my children and grandchildren.

I'm beaten (physically & mentally) with workloads and relationship problems as of now. But looking at these pictures of this particular place... I can smell the coffee (I did sipped a bit from my dad's cup heheh) and remember the best of times... LIFE isn't always that bleak. Look for the silver lining behind that cumulonimbus cloud! ;p

Cricked my neck!

All I can say now is... S**t! S**t! S**t!

It's hurting like hell... my neck and right portion of hand.

To Sue,
Really sorry for not being able to give you my fullest attention. Kesian ko... Dah la malam tadi tido dalam keta, dah tu datang umah aku lak aku kena kuar awal. Sowi my dearest friend. Singgah la lagi nnt 20 Feb (tapi bagitau awal2 so that I can cancel my tuition class).

To Aniza,

Same to you, really sorry for looking like someone yang baru bangun tido. Welcome to my nook :p Thanks for dropping by (although kena 'kambing' sebijik tadi masa bagi direction - sorry, mon. I'm not thinking straight, my head felt like it wants to roll off my shoulder). Hope you like my preliminary bday gift :p I know I'd take a long time to choose present for anyone, so better give something first. Hehheheh

Altogether it was a very hectic morning with a pack schedule to meet everyone and tried to satisfy everyone's needs... but in the end my needs wasn't satisfied... The damn doctor (who I've made an appointment with about 2 weeks ago, conveniently forget to call my number "20" and thus made me wait for TWO hours there) fell asleep when he massaged my neck!! And it still hurts like before. The only difference is that now I have a patch of foul-smelling 'koyok' on my shoulder!! God knows what's the concoction.

To all Chinese friends & collegues, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! 'Till we meet again next Tuesday, take care everyone!

Internet Marketing??

Ever heard of it? Basically it's about making money using your computer and internet connection. The reason I'm opening this article tonight is because.... I was so lucky because my boyfriend sponsored me to go to a seminar held by SaifulSham's Team this 24th February 2007 at Berjaya Time Square.
Will be here from 8:45 am to 5:00 pm on that Saturday

The seminar + website workshop is worth RM 547!!! WuhuuuuUUUuu!!! I'm such a lucky person to have such a great boyfriend! Thank you Mohd Hafiz Zainol Shokor!! God bless you with wealth (so that you can sponsor me again... heheheh)

I'll be in a seminar similar to this soon!! Can't wait!!

Among the moduls that will be presented are:
  • Modul 1: "Cara Praktis Untuk Mengetahui Produk Apa Yang Sedang Dan Bakal Laris Di Pasaran" (Practical Ways to Know Which Products are the 'In' Thing)
  • Modul 2: "Buat Duit Dengan Internet Tanpa Modal" (Making Money Online Without Any Initial Investment)
  • Modul 3: "Kaedah Pemasaran Yang Menenggelamkan Persaingan" (Marketing Strategies to Eliminate Competitors)
May God bless me with a good health and awesome focus on that day to make the money worth everything it is! Thanks again to my dearest at heart.
