Selamat Berpuasa

Annoucing the arrival of Ramadhan... Alhamdulillah. 

Rasa macam tak percaya je. Time has been flying fast man. Sure, it feels like forever since the last Ramadhan but I still can't believe that it has arrived for this year.

I am hoping for a lot of improvements this year... dari segi macam2 la.  I hope to be a better servant of Him, lebih ikhlas and consistent in doing ibadah, and lebih bertawakkal and percaya pada ketentuanNya. Sometimes, i feel that life has been quite tough on me.. tapi padahal there're so many rahmat and nikmat that I've received and that I should be more bersyukur. Jadikanlah aku hambaMu yang bersyukur ya Allah.

This year has created another achieved milestone for me as I went for umrah last April. To be there, in front of Kaabah is truly amazing. The experience is hard to be described by words.  Maybe I could try another entry just for that. The dissappointing thing is that i don't do as much improvement on myself after coming back from umrah. Tak ada consistency, istiqamah. Bila rasa rajin buat, bila tak.. hmmmm...  Astaghfirullahaladziim.

So yeah, selamat berpuasa, Maah zahir batin. Semoga Ramadhan tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun2 sebelumnya :)

I'm back :)

I think it has been berkurun since i last blogged here.. but all things considered, i think i should start writing again.  This could be like a sort of mental therapy.

Last week we had a Sentuhan Kasih event organized by the company at Kampung Orang Asli.  Liza, Fira and i carpooled there during the night before event for 'melawat kawasan'.  Little did we know that the hampers are not ready. So, dah sampai tu dengan baju2 kurung ni terus la duduk and re-packed the hamper.  I felt sooo melekit. After having dinner of nasi goreng cendawan at taman melawati, we got to my house to pick up my things.  I slept at liza's house that night so that its easier for us to go together in the morning.  We arrived home around 12 ok. The next morning plan was to be at KLCC area around  630am.  Hmmm, memang tak la kan.

It was like a kenduri kawin except that there's no bride or groom :) We cooked, mingled with the community, contribute to Ramadhan hamper, play with the kids etc. But, kids being kids memang penat jugak nak layan.  Some of them are just stubborn, some are cheeky, some are even grumpy hahaha. At the end of the event we just sat there lepak.  Suddenly, some of the kids datang bawak anak kura2. Comel sangat, rasa nak bawak balik je. I think it was not hard for them to find another... kampung dia tu tepi sungai je. 

I always think that i would love to do more volunteer.  It's like living with a purpose. Before this i thought it would be cool and fun to be part of a bigger volunteer group like helping tsunami victims or joining the palestine or menyelamatkan mangsa tanah runtuh whatsoever.  But now that i just completed one, it's actually more than meets the eye... it requires a lot of work, and energy. Your mental and physical are both challenged. Buat 1 day event pon dah rasa nak pengsan. So yeah, i don't think i'm ready for a more serious kind of volunteer work .

Ya Allah, please give me more courage and capability so that i'll be a more purposeful servant. Amiin.

Let's talk about love :)

Title macam la tajuk movie. It's just that I noticed that love is a already a distant topic to me. Maybe it's due to work commitment, or just that as you go older you become more matured and practical, which means you become less emotional and romantic... not adding the fact that by this time, most of the men you meet are already married, engaged or have a stable relationship which also means that you have pretty limited options. But, not to worry because jodoh is all ketentuan, you have no say over it...

I used to be a very romantic kind of girl... or the words that i use today "stupid". I used to believe that when I meet the right person, I will know it. So, when I had this huge crush over a guy I met in my teens, I really do believe that he's the one for me... and I waited for him to realize that I am the one for him... for a freaking 4 years!! I never confess my feelings face to face because I've my pride and its huge hehe... but I knew then that he knew that I like him, and he also knew that I knew that he knew, because everybody knew (so much for my pride la kan).

In the end, "we" didn't happen. I was crushed, brokenhearted, rebound, crushed again (there's a long story here), and picked myself up again - my study was already tunggang langgang at this point. Then I fell in love with another guy, and I thought "oh, maybe its him". But it didn't work out as well... and so the story recycled with few others.

The point is, I DON'T KNOW and I don't have the right instinct on who might be the right guy. It definitely is not like in those romance movies or novels where you can stop weddings just because you know he's the one for you, and he would run to you after you said "STOP!!!". In real life, if you do the same, you could be the hate object of the guy you loved not to mention his wife :P and you could lose your lifetime chance to be even just friends.

So, now that I am more practical, I would try not to fall in love with a guy, unless I truly believe that he feels the same way... or until he confess his love for me. Mutual understanding or paham2 sendiri is a no-no option. More than words is also not an option. Instinct or gut feeling also have to be avoided. This is the heart protection plan and I hope that this time it would work, because I am tired. Wish me luck :)

random

It has been a while since i last wrote in here. I barely even remember that I have this blog, and I only write when I feel like writing, which is NOT frequent since most of the time i've to write on things i don't want to write i.e. memo, reports, business letters etc.

My thoughts are usually random, and i like it that way. I'm not saying that i like chaos but i don't like rules, and procedures, and process. In my line of work, these things are key which i totally do not agree. Everything is made only as a guideline, but in the end, a company has to do what it has to do... and that is to make profit... tons of profit, and if that means you have to be practical on things.

Nowadays, i feel like i don't have a clear goal in life. I don't know what's the reason behind me working hard, stay back in the office until late at night, chase people around so that things would move.. except for 1 reason..... responsibility. I guess for me this is the biggest driver, that have to make things work for my project, my bosses, colleagues, myself and my family. This is the real truth, that facing all these challenges actually means something to me, that i do feel satisfied once i completed some part of my never ending work. It's part of my learning, and it has become a part of my life.

I need to polish my writing skills. I sometimes thought that if i need a change of direction in terms of career, I'll become a writer. Let's try some...

The girl was staring at the sky. It was bright with millions of stars on a clear night. "If only I can gaze at this a while longer" she thought. Unfortunately, she had to rush somewhere else. She is going to meet someone who's going to change her life. Or rather, someone she hopes could change her life.

Ok, it's not easy to write... hehe. This is crap man. I need to have another backup plan... like running a restaurant, or i don't know... mm... join an orchestra???

Masalah Kegemukan

Salam

topic today is on weight management hehe. Macam mana ni, pressure ok, my weight keeps on increasing and my body shape dah out of shape... eh, round is also a shape...

Tapi serious dah gemuk, what should i do. Rasa cam nak tekan panic button. Well, it adds up la, perut dah makin buncit, baju dah tak muat, seluar pon dah asik kene beli baru je, pipi dah makin tembam. It's just wrong la. I never thought i would be this fat... i should loose 20kgs... healthily. Yes, i don't know how, but i must work towards it. Ok, this is my new resolution... or rather old resolution made new.

Fighting!!

Weddings at JB

What a tiring weekend! Just got back from JB attending 3 weddings.. well, 2 of them kat JB and 1 kat segamat. There's 5 of us in the car, so macam penuh sarat, campur lagi dengan 2 kotak icebox full of otak-otak and otak-otak derivatives kat seat...hahaha... but it was full of fun as well.

I really need a break la, and going out with friends seems like a good idea. I need more break like this, well maybe not to kenduri kawin la because cam restricted sikit schedule, but definitely more outings la.

Dulu macam pernah plan with friends to naik kayak/canoe from pulau perhentian besar sampai perhentian kecik or pusing keliling perhentian kecik. That would be fun right. But of course, we had to move to different departments, outfit and semua dah jauh2 and makin busy.. nak2 pulak some of the said friends to dah jadi manager and makin busy, so kira berkubur je la plan ni.

Tapi tula, walaupun nowadays dah kurang sikit activity dengan kawan-kawan i noticed that throughout my life, I've been blessed with good friends... great friends.. that made me feel so lucky. Those who know me would know that I'm not a really independent person, and all this while I've been away from my family since masuk form 1, my friends never fail to take care of me... like, be there to support me, and be with me when i got result teruk ke, when i was heartbroken macam nak mati ke, when i was homesick ke... bila-bila lah. Alhamdulillah, I'm so grateful of this, and I hope so far I've also been a good friend...

Bntulu Trip

I just had this meeting in Bintulu yesterday. At first, tak nak pergi sebab ada banyak kerja yang still pending. But, since the team at site dah call semua suruh datang, datang la jugak, but balik hari.

I chosed the air asia morning flight at 7am and balik by the evening flight around 7, tapi flight balik tu habis. So nak tak nak the best one is to go through Kuching and get the midnight flight from kuching at 11, sampai klia patutnya 1240 ok, jangan tak lambat la kan.

malam tu dah tak nyenyak dah tidur, sebab takut terlepas flight. At 4am sharp, bangun and bersiap semua by 440am gerak la to LCCT (transportation courtesy of my beloved dad). Sampai bintulu my friend kat site picked up, bawa pi meeting, discuss apa patut, lunch, then petang lepas kerja straight pi airport. Flight to kuching bagus, on time.

Sampai je kuching tengok2 flight dia delay la pulak. From 11 dah jadi 1125. Bateri phone pulak dah tinggal satu bar. Sudah, time camni la nak jadi semua benda critical. Dahla bapak saya yang kena ambik kat airport tengah2 malam buta tu. Kesian and rasa bersalah sangat ok, tapi dia tak bagi naik taxi sebab risau anak pompuan dia ni sorang2. Pukul 1110 camtu, dia annouce delay lagi dah jadi 1145. Aku pon ambik beg letak kat penyandar kerusi tu baring (secara sopan). Tapi sejuk la pulak, tak boleh nak tido dah.

Pukul 1130 rasanya flight tu baru sampai. Orang pon semua muka dah mengantuk dah. Sampai je dalam flight tak sampai berapa minit terus lelap. Ntah berdengkur ke apa nasib la hoho. Sampai almost pukul 2am.

Abah dah tunggu kat bawah dah. Pergi kat parking tak jumpa kereta, hah sudah lagi satu cerita pulak. Pergi naik lift tengok floor atas, tak ada. Turun balik, tak ada. Pegi every floor cari kereta, tak ada. Aku ni dah bukak dah kasut (sebab dah lenguh), jalan kaki ayam je cari kereta. Pastu abah teringat, dia parking kat B bukan C & D section, naik balik kat terminal, pusing lift lagi satu, baru jumpa kereta. By that time dah 230. Kesian abah, dia mengantuk sangat la tu, sampai main blah je after parking, tak ingat kat mana. Haa, jenuh la jugak anak beranak ni mencari kereta sampai setengah jam.

By the time sampai rumahpukul 330 dah. Hari ni masuk office ala2 zombie hahaha. Buat kerja pon tak ada mood. Baik tido bintulu balik kl hari ni kalau camni gayanya. Lesson learnt ni... tak payah la menyeksa diri sampai jadi tak efficient. Lagipon company bukannya tau apa yang kita sacrifice untuk dia. By the time appraisal, dia nak bagi teruk dia bagi gak, ada issue dia nak salahkan kita, dia buat gak...

Saturday Blues

This blog is obviously berkubur considering i'm no longer in JB/Pasir Gudang and is already back in the super duper busy hectic life in KL.

Working life truly require so much commitment and energy. If only I could just go through mesin merentas masa like in doraemon and go back to college days in Minnesota. Just to see how the place is now, jalan2 pegi west bank lintas Mississippi, tengok balik old lecture buildings, lepak kat park depan kelas jepun punya building sambil makan boba tea and nasi vege mapo tofu or unagi set or fish roll set, jalan kat downtown sambil tgk book sales, farmers market, lunch or dinner village wok, or kedai pak ali yang ada nasi roast chicken paling sedap dalam dunia.

Truth is mesin merentas masa only exist dalam doraemon and right now i've to go back to evaluation room... on a saturday morning.. hehe

Changes

I noticed that my life now is affecting my mood, reaction and behavior to certain things. Contoh:

1. Masa dulu2 I used to be excited everytime my phone rings or ada msg. Now, it's more like "alamak, sapa pulak ni"... then "oh, mama/ abah rupanya" or "alamak, bos pulak call, apsal pulak ni"

2. I used to like going out and think of what to wear going out. Now, the ideaa of going out is unappealing BECAUSE I have to change my clothes from the ones I wear at home.

3. Dulu, before balik rumah, seboleh-boleh nak singgah sana sini, hang out for teh tarik la, pasar malam la, masa kat perlis siap boleh pi dinner kat siam lagi. Now, bila otak dah set nak balik, nak singgah pi isi minyak pon dah rasa malas and melambatkan.

4. Dulu, tido lambat bangun lambat. Now, tido awal bangun awal. Kalau nak pegi mana during weekends, kalau boleh nak keluar earliest possible biar jalan raya/ tempat yang nak pegi tu lengang lagi.

5. I used to call most people 'kak'. Now, I could hear people start calling me 'kak' hehe.

I think this is all a sign of ageing. I don't even know how to spell ageing ke aging? Yang samanya, I always like to eat good food, dulu dan sekarang, dan maybe selamanya hehe

Ramadhan Kareem

Salam

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Mubarak and Selamat Berpuasa kepada semua yang beragama Islam. Maaf Zahir Batin.

Pagi ni agak ngantuk la bangun sahur. Nasib gak hotel tu ada ganti breakfast with sahur.. start at 4.30. Kul 5.10 camtu dah turun sahur dah, makan je apa ada, cepat2 sebab dah sibuk nak sambung tido balik.

Today Johor cuti, tapi kitorang cuti ikut KL la pulak kononnya so kena kerja. But the good thing is jalan raya tak jem. Sempat la pi isi minyak dulu pagi2 tu, isi angin kat tayar je tak sempat sebab rasa cam lama je.

Puasa this year is a bit sad sebab kena sahur n buka sendiri2. Hopefully dapat balik awal. Rasanya for Ramadhan we can balik kul 4 sebab sambung kerja during lunch hour. So, sempat la kalau nak pi pasar ramadhan tu, masalahnya dekat mana je... kena cari dulu. Dekat hotel tu ada gak buffet ramadhan but mahal n tak berbaloi. I mean how much can a person eat during buka puasa kan. Terawikh pon nampak gayanya buat dalam bilik je la this year.

Ok, that's all for now. Jangan membazir and belanja banyak2 sgt. It totally defeats the point of puasa then. wassalam.

Salam

Wow, i haven't been updating for like almost a month. This is really like hangat2 taik ayam je.. and I'm not even back in KL for good yet!!! Kalau dah balik kl nanti mungkin la this blog will berkubur hohoho. Classic example of a person who very easily get bored.

My little sister is back in Malaysia for good. Alhamdulillah. We picked her up on Saturday kat KLIA... excited sgt. Unfortunately, Sunday night I've to go back here. Well, nasib la jugak Sunday night, ada jugak byk sikit masa. If I go by bus, then Sunday afternoon/evening dah kena gerak.

Some Cooking Tips:

1. When cooking for fried rice, the rice should be cooked a bit keras.

2. Kalau tumis2 bawang, I like the bawang to be slightly burned - it gives stronger taste.

3. Kalau masak thai dish, adding fish oil would give the "Thai taste".

4. I never put in 'ajinomoto' etc. in my cooking, nanti rasa muak.

5. Whipping fresh milk would not turn the milk to 'cream'. This i learned by experimenting sebab whipped cream adalah mahal, so i tried to whip in fresh milk, didn't work out huhu

Meeting Day

Today ada 3 meetings.. well, supposedly. Pagi ada management meeting for tangga barat, petang lak for kinabalu. There's supposed to be another meeting/engagement with GM petang at 4 tapi kitorang dok tunggu2 takde gak lagi. Then kul 5 bgtau meeting cancel... but okla, dah takde mood dah pon nak buat kerja so from 4-5 jadi sesi bergelak ketawa je...

Esok, insya Allah balik KL. Malam rasanya mcm ada bbq kat shah alam... not sure nak pegi ke tak, tapi most probably pergi... lagipon rasa dah lama tak pi makan bbq.

Here are 5 things that I like to talk about:

1. Food - bersemangat ok, kalau tengah ngantuk pon but when the topic is food terus rasa segar.

2. Travel - Another favorite topic. mana nak pi for vacation, what kind of activities yang boleh buat and best... planning it all.. hmm... memang best la.

3. Work - yeah, unfortunately I also like to talk about work. Maybe because it's part of my life and tak boleh nak lari la kira.. and sometimes it's kind of interesting, when your plan goes smooth, or ada achieve something.

4. Love and Relationship - this is favorite topic especially for ladies.. need I say more...you'll nener get bored of it because you'll never understand it.

5. Family - I think families are unique and from sharing experiences/stories you could actually improve and tolerate more.. appreciate more....

Sedih la malam tadi germany tak menang. I woke up at 3.30 just to watch them play, nasib masa jaga tu baru start 2nd half and goal tgh 0-0 lagi. Kalau bangun dah 3-0 ke, sambung je la tido balik. They look tired, cam malas kejar bola pon ada, kurang attack, good thing their defend is pretty strong... and spain is like semangat, byk attack, defend pon best je. I support germany and I think they've almost done the best (almost sebab takde muller), but for last night's game, spain is the better team.. so, go spain for the finals!!!

Ada lagi 5 hari puasa kena ganti!!!

That's right. Alhamdulillah, tadi habis lagi satu hari selesai ganti. Ada 5 days to go... fuhhh... Ni lah akibat ganti puasa ala2 last minute ni. Kelam kabut. Pulak tu dugaan besar bila puasa time orang lain tak puasa ni.. ajak pergi makan la, ada makan free la... macam2.

Tadi buka nasi goreng ayam kat kedai mamak. Dah asik makan nasi goreng style melayu/cina je, bosan la pulak kan. Anyway, rasa dia ok la..not bad, tapi tak amik gambar le sebab dah kelaparan. Sekarang ni rasa macam best pulak kalau dapat air sejuk yg sedap...hmm.. tgklah kalau rajin nanti pegi buat.

Sapa la agaknya menang world cup ni eh. I hope germany will win. Tengok gaya dia lawan argentina hari tu... perghhh... memang semangat habis. Usually team would buang masa, or start defend je once they know they're gonna win right, but not the germans. Boleh sumbat lagi satu goal dah nak last2 tu... they're playing the best they could, every time... so go germany!!!

Last weekend ingat nak try buat cheesecake style yg tak bake, tapi sebab dah sibuk makan durian so tak sempat and takde mood sebab dah kekenyangan. Yela, balik 2 hari.. ok, 1.5 hari je, sebab sunday by 3 dah kena gerak tu bukit jalil naik bas. Masa tu la nak makan segala2 hahaha.. mana nak sempat.

Supposedly, my last day here at Pasir Gudang would be end of July..but then, takde pon lagi dengar2 on who's going to replace me.. so let's just hope for the best. Allah knows best. For me, cam dah tak sabar nak balik kl since insya Allah my sister is going back from London for good by end of July gak... Banyak benda nak sembang ni... hahaha

It's Friday!!!

Yesterday I went to Pasir Gudang Kompleks ada expo SME, and pelancaran menara aqabah... ada al-kulliyyah jugak live from there kot, but I didn't join in sebab dia start at 9 pm.

Anyway, while waiting for my friend yang tgh solat maghrib, ada la dengar baby nangis. The baby dalam stroller tengah nangis cam sedih sgt and there's a lady tolak the stroller but she didn't even looked at the baby... dia tolak bodoh je. I don't know if she's the baby's mom, and she knew the reason her baby is crying but there's nothing she could do at that time, tapi cara dia tu as if she didn't give a shit... so i assume she's just the maid/babysitter. Silently, I made a vow that I hopefully would not let my baby being taken care of by someone who doesn't care.

5 things that I love:

1. Sitting in the passenger seat while other people is driving... especially when going to work or from work sebab bad traffic.

2. Breakfast... I think it's the best meal of all :)

3. Working in peace... rasa macam boleh think clearly and carefully... but sometimes, solving problems/issues can add a bit spice, provided the problem is solved before i get tired of it...

4. Chatting (face to face or shoulder to shoulder... doesn't matter) with friend whom I am comfortable with... about nothing n everything...

5. Tengok cerita hantu... tapi yang betul2 tak nak tengok, huhu

Yeay, tomorrow is Friday

My hotel wireless is very unstable nowadays. So, I'm updating this at the office hehe.

Today mmg rasa penat, full, tired n satisfied :) Alhamdulillah. This feeling doesn't always happen. There are certain days when everything I did or planned just didn't work, kena tunggu orang ni decide la, orang ni respond la, unreplied email la, not much information la... these are the days when I would feel exhausted... like habis tenaga. But Allah is fair, I also get certain days whereby it feels like everything falls to place... and although I'm tired, the self satisfaction is there, and the penat is soo much less, and you can't help from feeling blessed..segala puji hanya bagi Allah :)

Since duduk hotel ni rasa cam dah tak tau nak makan apa. Balik2 nasi goreng, mihun goreng, nasi paprik, nasi + tomyam, tak pon sekali sekala go western... bosannya. The weird thing is, masa kat us dulu pon slalu gak makan beli, lagi limited choice, asik2 shrimp fried rice, tak pon nasi somali.. tak pon nasi-with-roast-chicken-kat-pak-ali-yg-sedap-tak-igt-punya-nasi-and-kuah-dia.. perghhh... tak bosan pon hahaha.

ok, nak balik lah. nanti lambat2 kena buka puasa dalam kete lak hehe.

I Think Argentina Will Win 2010's World Cup

Entry tak ada kaitan dengan title.

Alhamdulillah, just finished breakfasting with nasi goreng ayam and telur mata + boba milk tea. Memang sedap la. Betul lah nikmat buka puasa ni is the best nikmat masa kat dunia :) I hope I can go full swing puasa this week, until friday that is.. weekend nak balik KL so mungkin nak makan sedap2 sikit hehe.

I just realised that I haven't paid my income tax for this year. Hmm... hopefully esok sempatlah.

When I'm frustrated with my job and rasa nak resign, I had never (so far) think of doing any other makan gaji job, because I think it will be the same (almost) anywhere. I would then start dreaming and make some 'resignation plan' (I cannot call it retirement plan sebab tak retire) as such:

1. Jadi chef and buka restaurant

2. Buka restaurant tapi tak jadi chef, orang lain masak

3. Ajar tuition (ok, ni kalau I'm married and my husband has a stable job baru boleh, otherwise the income would not be sufficient)

4. Tulis buku - need to brush up my writing skills and technique first so that orang baca tak bosan.

5. Jadi alih suara untuk cartoon. I think I can do doraemon, spongebob etc. tapi Upin dan Ipin tak boleh kot sebab tak cukup comel. (This is the only another makan gaji job in my plan)

6. Buka kilang for frozen food. Ni macam ok kan tapi kena kumpul modal first.

I think Melissa Maureen looks a bit like my friend's girlfriend.. eh, tunang. Comel and cantik :) Tiba2 je out of topic ni sebab tengah tengok cerita orang minyak yang dia berlakon ni... hehe.

Jusco Outing

Ok, it's Sunday night already. Malasnya esok nak pergi kerja huhu.

I just watched "New in Town" in Starmovies. The movie is about a hard driven high post lady being sent to New Ulm, Minnesota to assess their factory there. I'm sure Minneapolis is much more modern than New Ulm, but the cold Minnesota winter looks the same. Oh, I do miss going back there but if I go there now, the feeling is definitely not the same. Then, I feel like I belong there, it's 2nd home.. that's where I lived and studied for 4 years... kalau pergi sekarang mesti rasa cam visiting alumni yang tak familiar with the changes etc.

Anyway, I went to Jusco and had dinner at a place called Vivo - American Pizza and Panini... alone. Rasa pelik gak makan sorang, mula-mula segan sebab literally everyone datang ramai2 or couples, tapi lapar punya pasal belasah je la.. and I guess it was not that bad..hehe. I ordered this chocolate ice blended which costs me RM8.80. Mahal tu, rasa biasa je... buat sendiri lagi sedap kot.


Food pulak, Oriental Baked Rice. Yang ni sedap gak, it's like ricewith chicken bits masak tomato on top of it, and topped with mozarella cheese. All of this, baked. Kalau italian food, I think it's called paella (pronouced as paiya). This cost around RM11.


Close up at the rice inside:

Mahal gak la overall. Boleh makan 2 orang. Tapi portion dia pon agak banyak sebenarnya. I think the meal and drinks memang boleh cover 2 orang, but still, nak buat apa kan... especially when you are eating alone. Ok, saje try paste gambar in blog. I don't think dulu blogger boleh paste gambar, but of course that was like more than 5 years ago hehe.

Because I'm bored :)

Salam

As seen in the title above, I'm now feeling a bit bored. Thus, I decided to blog.. again. Close friends who knew me since my college days would know that I once had a blog, but decided to stop... after, I don't know about 2-3 years of keeping it...

So, feeling that I had to let my thoughts out, this may be a good way of doing it :)

Here are my random thoughts for today:

1. Johor drivers are mostly bad drivers.. sometimes rude, definitely worse than in KL

2. What you think/feel at night are usually not the same anymore when you wake up the next day. Maybe that's why they say you should "sleep on it"..

3. Sleeping at home without air-conditioner while fighting with nyamuk somehow still feels much better than sleeping in a king size bed with fluffy hotel pillows and full blown air-cond.. because at home you have your family:)

4. We usually appreciate something when we don't have it anymore.

5. Car service center should open on Sunday so that I don't have to send my car there during weekdays...hehe

6. I wonder why tak banyak kedai at this Pasir Gudang area jual masakan Johor. Ada 4 kedai makan dekat sini but all four jual masakan Thailand.. I mean, come on.. kalau kat perlis, kedah lain laa
