Dear the boy who sells Nasi Lemak Kampung next to HELP Uni..

I stepped down the van  and since it stopped right in front of this one nasi lemak stand, i just went straight to it.. more, the bright "Nasi Lemak Kampung RM1.00" signs caught my attention from far. The boy paused from doing his homework and cheerfully greeted me.

"Seringgit satu kak. Akak nak berapa?"

"Bagi satu dik"

"Cukup ke kak?" <evil laugh>

"Cukup lah dik" <big sisterly smile>

Hye adik, this morning u have accidentally made my day, thank you!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning my manager briefed me on my job scope.. well, i finished my 1.5 month training on Oracle... I enjoyed the training a lot! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a formal training where trainees go into classes listening to lectures & do labs... this training is more like a coursebook training, that's how they call it, a Coursebook Training.. where basically most of my office-hour was spent on self-studying the training materials, do the case studies at the end of each chapter and complete the exercises after each topic.. A mentor was assigned to me to guide me throughout my training period. Thanks a lot to him! :D

After the training, I cannot yet say that I am already good in Oracle and the language (PL/SQL), but I hope the training will equip me adequately to start off the tasks that I am going to handle after this.. I consider myself lucky to always have a very good Manager. He already pat me on the back this morning during our first formal task-related meeting.

Let's Save The Environment

Today marks the first day of me taking the public transportation to work, yeay! hmmm it's not too bad at all! Before this, I don't know why I haven't thought of taking public transportation from Sepang to Damansara. Maybe the idea of only people living & working near KL can enjoy the ample infrastructures which are majorly around KL without realizing the fact that my office is just next to the KL, haishhh -_-' or maybe the fact that Sepang is too far away from the central augments the thoughts...

Well, anyway.. there is actually another girl staying nearby as well... *ok ko ingat ko sorang je la duduk jauh???* so she asked me to try follow her taking the erl from here to kl central.. then we took the 'unofficial' van which drove us straight to our office area.. so yeah, the journey wasn't bad at all i would say.. at least i can save nearly half on my transportation expenditures compared to driving my own car... which means i can put aside a portion of what i earn monthly for other stuff such as ........ getting married! yeay! :p and..... a trip to the USA next year maybe? cross finger! but the latter is quite unlikely... ah no harm in daydreaming aite? 'Keep dreaming & make the dreams reality' once, a guy told me this... and i was once a heavy-daydreamer ;-p

The fares are expensive if u buy daily... but fortunately there is a Travel Fares for frequent erl travellers.. I got mine a 30-days travel card which cost rm285 for travelling from Salak to KL Central.. this will valid for 60 trips used in a month... if i were to pay daily fares, that would cost me rm25/day... so that's a lot of saving!

This afternoon, my office had a birthday bash to all the January babies... ehemmm... yours sincerely is one of them :p so, here i would really LOVE to wish all my friends & readers who are January babies a Happy & Blissful year ahead! Hope u live a joyful & cheerful life, go chase your dreams & live happily and be u as much as u can! ok?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ^_^

I Want To Fly To India Right Now!

... to get MANY of these ohhh sooo vibrantly gorgeous Salwar Kameez!

My mom bought each of her daughters saris during her trip to India few weeks back.. I got 2 of them.. the first one is a very bright color combination of pink and blue.. the material is kind of silk to cotton type... yeah i am sooo damn clueless about fabrics! -_-' while the other one i picked the more soft nature color...it's very flowy & soft to the hands.. At first i thought just to make a simple kurung lama with the A-shaped skirt (so that I could wear it as skirt alone as well :p) and a simple kurung modern out of them.. but then i thought since they are saris, why not try to make an Indian-style dress right? so i searched on the internet and found this very cool website selling & customising saris design. So girls, u might want to check it out! Designer Salwar Kameez

These are few designs that seriously catched my eyes.

I love the wide pants design!!!

something tunic?

Or layer them? pretty nice!

See the selendang??? that's another reason for flying to India too!

I love how saris make weird combination of colors seem  charming!

the colors!

feminine

My ultimate obsession of all! see how she wears the head scarf? OMG! so gorgeous!

beautiful!

Hey all.. do u by any chance know any tailor who can make beutiful salwar kameez like those? with affordable price too :p care to share? do you think i can find any around Jalan TAR? and i want to look for those bright color skinny pants too!

Early relieves

I just told my mom about my job-switch... u know it's never been easy talking about career with my parents... i think those who both parents are working with the government and having the 'work with gov for brighter future' mindset might know how it actually is.. but her response was quite positive when i briefly answered her questions on the company's history, how many staff, bla bla bla.. and i think this was the first time i got the guts to honestly explain what i really want in my career, what kind of job i want to do, the environment i want to be working in, the reasons why i wasn't happy and left my previous job & why i do not want to join the G and why the no interest in trying my luck to become one of the PTDs. I hope she understands & most importantly my dad will too although it's highly unlikely.

I saw a bit of disappointment when i told her it's been 3 weeks since i started... i am very sorry mak :'( i was just too afraid to tell my parents and i don't want anything or anyone to hinder me from walking this path.. i know where i am going and u don't have to worry.. i never knew if this was a right decision but no worries, i sure to make it one.

I think i will just let my mom to pass on this 'news' to my dad since i will never ever have the guts to tell him straight to his face.. u know.. quitting out from GLC into private company?? nak kene sepak??? huhuuuu..

But she needs to tell him eventually because i also brought up my plea to stay at one of their houses around  KL.. hopefully he approves :) staying here in sepang is the best! but filling up the tank every 3 days is errrrr -_- unless i have the 5 angka salary lohhh

Happy New Year + a week of 2011 everyone!

I know I'm late but who cares ~

Well this year I was blessed to have an unplanned get together on New Year's Eve with my 2 besties since Standard 1! It wasn't extravagant but just a simple chitchatting session at warung stall.. we gossiped, laughed .. OUT LOUD .. talk about stuff that we rarely share with anyone... a bit of walking down the memory lane.. well.. it's a longggg lane considering we've known each other since like forever!.. Diba is getting married this March, so most of the topics are marriage-related :p it was fun!

Hmmm... i guess 2010 was an eventful .. a bit emotional...  year for me.. but afterall my life was pretty normal just like any other girl-next-door around.. just for the fun of it, lets just list down the well-that's-normal stuff happened around last year shall we? --Not in any particular order--

** i finally quit my first job.. without any job lined up.. without my families & my friends knew about it.. and i almost broke

** i was totally unemployed for around 3 months.. starting after raya until 22nd november

** i joined the MSC job camp training program.. it was fun! i've made good friends there!

** resigned from the job camp when eventually a company recognised me & offering me the dream job i've always see myself in :)

** being a part of CPS Neoxers

** was thrown out of somewhere

** Baby Neo!

** the guy i had a crush on asked me out.. but he's married.. a relief to me by the way

** the 101010 reunion with my girls!

** my brother got home for 3 months

** someone asked me to date him & make me smile everyday.. thank you :)

i wonder what 2011 will bring to me... focuses will be on my career, family-time & hopefully i have a glimpse of whom my future hubby is *wink* :-)
