The Frog That Climbs The Wall!!!




Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began. Honestly:

No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."

or:

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one, except for those, who in a fresh tempo , were climbing higher and higher. The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!" More tiny frogs got tired and gave up.

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher. This one wouldn't give up! At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out that the winner was DEAF!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!

More importantly, you must NOT be the ONE who tell yourself you cant do it! It is bad enough that people around you give you negative thoughts, you should not be joining their club! Always remember that. Do not sabotage yourself, your life, your dream...

Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions! That is why Islam has taught us to always utter good words.
693. 'Adi ibn Hatim reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if with only half a date. If you cannot manage even that, then with a good word." [Agreed upon] Riyad as-Salihin

694. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A good word is sadaqa." [Agreed upon] Riyad as-Salihin We are also reminded that it is important to be a positive influencer to others no matter how small it may be.

695. Abu Dharr said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me, "Do not think little of anything which is right, even just showing your brother a cheerful face. [Muslim]

Islam has long established the importance of psychology and its impact on human behaviour.Therefore: ALWAYS be.... POSITIVE! And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams! More importantly, by uttering good words we can be saved from the hellfire! Be the little frog which defies the negative thinking by being deaf to them and not sabotaging yourself! Breep! Breep!

When there is a will, there will be a way. No shortcuts to success. No escalator to the top floor. You have to climb up. Just like everyone else. If you find an escalator, you might reach the top the easy way, but, then, you wont have enough 'exercise' as compared to the real stairs climbers! They would have strong leg muscle than you, they would have better heart than you, they would have stronger lungs than you and so on and so forth. Come the next challenge to climb stairs, guess who would win? You, the escalator guy or you, the stairs climbers?

welcoming ramadhan...





greetings...

today, i'm welcoming ramadhan into my life! in fact i'm welcoming ramadhan into all of muslims' life! of course when it's ramadhan, all the muslims have to fast from early morning (subuh) till late evening (maghrib). we are not alllowed to eat or drink until breakfast. for first timers meaning kids or mu'alaf that recently embraced islam, it may be a lil' bit tiring! but for me, i've been fasting 'full time' since i was 9 years old! by full time, i mean from subuh till maghrib! i emphasized 'full time' because before 9 yrs old, i only fasted 'half time', that was until zohor.

well, since today is the first day of ramadhan, let me wish all muslims, happy ramadhan, happy fasting and happy breakfasting! don't try to cheat, okay! Allah will know if you sneak to eat or drink! maybe people won;t see your wrong doings but Allah will always keeping watch over all of us, His khalifah. so, don't ever try doing something bad! furthermore all the Syaithon a.k.a devils have been imprisoned in this holy month. if we do something bad this month, it's not because of the devil's temptation but from our own. this is just a reminder for me and all of you.

well, i think that's all for now... ops, before i forgot, i've been tagged by one of my school and university mate, marina. she said something about award and so on! i didn't quite catch her meaning! but i just linked her blog to my! so, minamei, i've linked u to my blog okay! thanks for stopping by and read my entries. i've read yours as well eventhough i didn't leave any comments, ;p! here things that i copy and paste from her blog...

L.O.V.E

greetings ppl! how's life lately?! mine?! hmmm, compared to before, my life's quite relaxing these few weeks 'cos i've got medical leave until 9 september 2008. reason for my medical leave is none other than chikugunya combined with stressed. hohoho, my work is really stressful for serious. dealing with immigrants is one hell of a job! actually dealing with immigrants is not that hard or stressful, it's dealing with my bosses and co-workers that gave me headache! sometimes, when u r 'in the middle' like me, by middle, i mean you have bosses and sometimes u have ppl under u that u have to give instruction to, is hard to cope with! i know that a lot of u were stucked in the same situation as me! well, all that i can say is, bear with it! see it as a challege for us to conquer. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.~ Mark Twain"


well, let's get back to the topic on hand! today, i would like to talk on L.O.V.E! what's my perspective on this word?! well, honestly the first thing that came to my mind when i saw this word is the classic song by Nat King Cole;





L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

that quite summarize my opinion of love, hehe... actually in this whole wide world, there are several different types of love. Love for our Creator(Allah), love for His Messenger (Prophet Muhammad s.a.w), love for our parents, siblings, families, love for our partner, children and so many more. but now, i woould love to talk about love for our partner or in simple words love for our girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives. since i'm not married YET, i'll talk on the love to boyfrieds/girlfriends.

well, if u guys are wondering whether i've that special someone that can be called as my boyfriend. honestly me myself, don't know, hahaha~~ i'm telling u the truth here, i'm not lying or kidding! HONESTLY, i don't know! sometimes i think i've one, sometimes i think i've none and sometimes i've even think that i have more than one, haha! u can call me a bluff or liar, but that's the truth! now let me tell you a secret that won't be a secret anymore after i pour it out... each time after my solat, i pray to Allah not to open my heart to love anyone unless that one is THE ONE. by THE ONE, i meant the guy that'll finally becom my HUSBAND! now, the secret is out, hahaha... =p stoooopid me, hehehe...

i think that one of the reason i've never had a aboyfriend until now! oops, forgot... i've had one during my time in germany. the relationship lasted less than a month! the reason i had that relationship was because of..... hehehe, let it be a secret okay! but i think lots of my closed friends know the truth behind that relationship! to the guy invoved, i'm so very sorry for treating u the way i've treated you before! hope now u r happy with ur spcial someone! i know u had one and she's 10000x greater that me for she loves u the way u r! i keep tracked of u not because i'm obsessed but just because i want to know whether or not u r happy! and when i found out that u r, seemed like a burden of guilt have been lifted from my shoulder, huhu~~

well, love is very subjective! different people, different opinions. as for me, love is a very beautiful feeling that Allah gives us, so that we can make this world we live in a very wonderful place! but, as we can see, this world we live in is not as wonderful as before because hate overwrites love! we see war everywhere because people forget to love. it's sad seeing people nowadays never consider the feeling of others, they just think about themselves! i know sometimes, we need to be selfish, but being selfish each time is wrong! ermmm...

beside that, love cannot be forced. ever heard the saying, if u love someone, let her/him free. if he/she loves u back, he/she will come back! that for me is so very true. never forced someone to love you, let the love flows freely and steadily! if u forced love, it will not last. i'm talking from my own experiences. believe me but if u don;t believe me, it's okay! it's ur choice, i've no sayings in ur opinions. only u, urself can made ur own decision. i think that's all for now. remember, love is subjective and let me tell u another secret. i love u all, muahs~ muahs~ not really a secret, 'rite?! ;p

wedding bells...



hello people... good morning, rise and shine! morning has always been my favourite time of the day bcos it's the mark of a new day and a new beginning as well... my chosen topic today is wedding! since the school holidays are here, there'll be alot of weddings. and i've already received quite a number of invitation. the first wedding i went to this past 2 weeks is my schoolmate during secondary yrs. ooo, before i've forgot, i went to sekolah menengah sains tuanku jaafar, kuala pilah negeri sembilan for my secondary education. the wedding was held at undang ulu, muar johor. i went there with the boys from my school; apen, taring and rafiz! on the way, we met mozac. the weddding was great... apai and his wife walk under swords since apai's in NAVY! both the bride & groom looked handsome and pretty... while eating, nadzir, halim & his wife came. so, we chatted a while and went back to where we came from. it;s nice seeing old friends! everybody got a different stories now! with jobs, families, careers etc to take care of....

next is the wedding of my former schoolmates as well. siti syaheeda nor! once again it was a very beautiful wedding! her wedding was held at her father's house in masjid tanah, malacca. this time i've met ieda! she came with her other half! not a lot of people from our school came, everybody got something to settle! and btw, i've got medical leave until 9 september 2008! hoooray, no more work stressed for one month, ahaks! forgot about that, let's get back to my story.... today's the wedding og my cousin in jay bee. ooo forgot to mention, my bestfrie, hawa is also staying with me at my 'kampung' rite' now. i went to pick her up last thursday with my mom. one question that keep on playing on my mind and hers, when will our turn come?! hahaha... ;p

childhood memories



ellop there... wargh, it's been a very long time i've updated this blog of mine. well, honestly i'm quite bz lately! got lots of things to settle. example, i've just moved out from my sister's house at precint 16 to my newly rented room at precint 9... still in putrajaya! see my my things, huhu~~ quite a lot considering i've been staying at my sister less than a yr. btw, books are the biggest percentage! i've 3 small bookshelves and still have to buy boxes to accomodate all my books! i'm quite a bookworm. i could't live without books! i can'i even imagine myself living without something to read! like i said b4, i read almost everything and anything! my sole reason is to gain knowledge and also to kept myself from doing something useless like many teenagers today! no offense intended, but that's the truth... u can see lots of our teenagers, by our i meant malaysian, keep loitering around doing useless things such as smoking, doping, illegal racing etc...


well, enough about that! now, let me get back to my real topic that is my childhood memories. i remember writing this exact essay 9 yrs ago, during my spm examination and i've got B3... that was for the 1119 english paper not the 1 for spm, that 1 i got A1. wow, couldn't believe it! how fast time flew. i'm getting older each days without realizing it! but as we all know, time & tide wait 4 nobody! we have to move forward without regretting our past. learn from our mistake and try to be a better person each day of my life.

i was very stubborn and naughty during that time... well, i'm still stubborn and naughty these days! haha, couldn't help it! it's been a part of me, it's my character that i couldn't change! i've tried not to be stubborn or naughty but i failed each time, huhu~~ i was a very trying and troubled child! don't believe me?! ask my parents and my siblings, they knew better, haha~~ i always challenge their authority especially my father, mr hamidon ismail. i'm the only child in the family that have the courage to talk back to my dad. huhu, very bad girl! and as for my mom, she gave up hope long ago trying to cracked this stubborness of mine... but whatever i did, i really love them both, and urggh my siblings as well eventhough they love to 'bully' me when i was young! =p

what else... erm... erm... i love my childhood and i really missed them! i remember playing all the traditional games; teng2, congkak, galah panjang, zero point(main getah), konda kondi, congkak etc... children today played ps2, wii, nitendo etc etc... i think they were missing a lot by not experiencing the things the 'older generation' games. they spend most of the times interacting with machines rather than with people and that's not good for their social life! we human creates machines and how can we expect the things we create to react to our every wish unless we are a very good programmer! but human, real life people can act accordingly without the needs to be programmed eact time.

i think that's all for now! perhaps i'll update later since i have a leave from work til 9 september 2008! hope that everyone enjoy reading this short article of mine. boy, how i miss my childhood and how i wish i'm a child once again. no worries at all! play all day long! being an adult is really tiring. and to those kids out there, enjoy the moment before u grew up, becoming an adult and facing life in a new light! In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.~Ann Landers

my so call life

greetings earthlings! hehe, it's been quite a time i've updated this site of my blogs. well, as today is labor day and i have a lot of free time, let me tell u a lil bit bout my life recently. as i mentioned before, i was working ad VADS. but, last wednesday i've received an offer letter from immigration malaysia! i was offered a job as an immigration officer at HQ putrajaya and was appointed in the enforcement unit!
at first, i was in a dilemma... what should i do? should i accept it or should i stay at my current job. but, after consulting a number of people and considering all the pros and cons, i've decided to accept it and work officially as a government servant. some of the reason for my decision are as stated below:
  • secured: we all know, when we work with the government, our future is secured and there are a lot of benefits which we couldn't get if we work in the private sector.
  • convenient: since i'm living with my sister in putrajaya and i'll be working in putrajaya as well, i could save a lot of money compared when i was working with VADS.
  • experience: this is a common reason for switching job but really in this line of work, i'll be facing different situations each time.
  • colleague: can reconnect back with my old colleagues there! but seriously, i'll be missing my current colleagues! eventhough we known each other for less than 1 month, we really are bond!

actually, i have to pay rm800 for training bond. but since i'm quitting during my training period which is 1 month, i don't have to pay anything! i'll be submitting my resignation letter tomorrow. as if i'm right, a lot of my colleagues will be quitting as well for various reason! hahaha, don't think more than 50% will stay there for 6 months.

other than that, nothing much to tell! already been told at my malay version blog! oops, my dad got a blog for himself as well! actually, he asked me to do it for him at first! but after i shown him all the nessecary things needed to maintain a blog, he managed it by himself! why don't u guys check it out here! and if i'm not mistaken, our previous prime minister also got himself one as well, click here to find out more! that's all for now, until next time... oops forget to wish HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL!!!!

tired


i'm so tired lately! the reason is, i have to travel to and fro from my sister's house at putrajaya to my workplace at taman tun. ooo, i forgot to mention! i got the job, hurray! which job?! the job i mentioned in my previous post before! actually, i've already mentioned it in my malay version blog! hehehe, got two version aah, malay and english! perhap, after this i will make another version, deutsch! but honestly, my deutsch is getting worser everyday since i haven't practice it! think logical, with whom can i practice my deutsch?! unless i planned to speak alone or perhaps read any sorts of article, only then could i improve my deutch.
 
put that aside, let's get to the matter in hand. incase any of you interested in reading my malay blog version, you are invited to do that! just go to my profile, there's a list and click emayuki or you could just click here! it's easier... but, make sure you can understand malay lah, otherwise, it's no use! like i've said before i'm quite tired lately! it's no the job but the route to travel there is making me tired! stucked in a traffic jammed every day is really testing my patience! as for the job itself, it's fun! i made quite a lot of new friends. we're undergoing out training for a month right now! and our trainer is 'sempoi', meaning he's a simple guy. no stressed at all training under him.
 
as a conclusion, i really really love my new job! thousand times better than my previous job! i'm planning to rent a house nearer to my office. we've already house hunting and we still looking for the most convenient one! o've already told my mother and sister about my plan. at first, they are reluctant to let me move out, but after reasoning with the for a while, they agreed. i think that's all for now! until then, bubye... The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.~William James

job hopping...

 
mmm.. right now, i can consider myself as a job hopper which literally meant changing job very often. actually, i have only changed my job once but i'm considering to do it once again. the first time, i quit my job because it was only a 6 months contract. the chances for the contract to be extended is quite low because they are currently recruiting permanent workers. i mentioned that i was working at the immigration right?! well, they are recruiting quite a number of immigration officer. i went for the interview and only managed to be a standby candidate for 1 year. others include air traffic controller and 'pegawai perusahaan.'
 
so, this evening i got called for a job interview. actually my friend recommended me there. but, i'm praying very hard that i'll get this job. the reasons are as stated below:
  • the salary is much better than my current job
  • the job is more to my liking and more related to my field (telecommunication)
  • i can work with my friend (my closed friend)
  • i don't really like my current job ~ quite lame, eh?!
  • i can gain another new experience as a technical support staff
  • did i mentioned the salary is better?!!! hehehe...
well, maybe some people find that job hopping is a negative thing to do. it shows no commitment, loyalty, seriousness and things like that. at a certain point, it may be true but if we look at the other side, we may find that job hopping has its own advantages such as:
  •  gaining more experiences in various fields
  •  broaden your networking and social circle
  •  better salary
  •  impressive resume if you stayed at a company for a certain acceptable period
for me, it depends on the situation. if you keep changing your job with lame excuses such as the pantry is unacceptable or the boss is not handesome enough, than it's totally wrong. but if you have a real concrete reason, it's okay. the reason will be absolutely different for every people. ae our job, wouldn't effect your career, just do what you think is the best and right for you. personally, i think to perfom well at whatever we are doing, we have to love it. if we love our job, we will do our best and give full commitment to get the greatest result. but, if we didn't really like our job, we wouldn't have the motivation or drive to do it.
 
well, that's all for now! oops, forgot to mention, i am in the middle of my final exam. wish me luck, kay! and, i watched 2 movies recently, evolusi kl drift and 27 dresses. wargh, i love 27 dresses. really love it! sooooooo sweeeeeeet.... when will that happened i my life?! hehehe, keep on dreaming girl! perhaps one day, your dream will come true! only God knows... "To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed. - Bernard Edmonds"

buusssyyyy...


wow, my life is quite hectic these few days. i'm still adjusting to my new job, i've got scold by my boss twice already... hehe, my fault. the first time regarding some paper that was important, and i thought otherwise. so, i cut those paper into 2 to make it as a document file seperator. then, i have to paste it again and photocopy it. hahaha, i really thought that paper was useless, that's why i scrapped it. got a really good scolding from my boss. second time regarding our customer. i fax our quotation to the wrong number. huhu, this one happened yesterday, how was i to know that it was for trading. dumb me...
 
but, yesterday he was not in a good mood. every single person in the ofiice got scold by him. well, he's the boss. he pays us, so we'll have to endure it... ooo, one more thing, he also gave me a really good lecture regarding passive and active people. he said that i should take a more active roll in the company. not just waiting orders. honestly, i would love to but i didn't know how to... i'm afraid that i stepped over the bound.... hehehe.... that's all for now, hope to update later. got so many things to tell... see you around...

updates..updates..updates..

i'm at my hometown in segamat right now! balik kampung lagi, hehehe... actually, i'm accompanying my sister. she has to pack all her things because she'll have to go back to new zealand next sunday! right now, she's on her semester break and doing all required things for her phD paper. about my exam, for the first time in my life, i finished answering it in 15 minutes! hahaha, some of the questions are simple and direct! but, i'm sure i got 1 wrong! the others probably right! it has only 10 questions...
 
i said i want to study the night before, right?! hehe, the truth is, i didn't! i slept all through the night. i only study when i arrived at the parking lot in front of the examination building! how many minutes eh?! i think around half an hour! and i study more than needed! there are only 4 topics included not 6 like i mentioned before! on the way there, i'm stucked in a slow traffic and on the way back to my office (got 1/2 day), i got lost! hahaha... luckily, i found my way back through LDP and it was better than federal. no traffic-jam! - Getting lost is an opportunity for adventure and discovery - this is particularly true when shopping, searching for love or on vacation. ~ Michael Flocker

what to do? what to do?

 

WHAT TO DO?! wargh, i've got to sit for my mid term exam tomorrow and i haven't study a single thing?! of course, i know what i must do! hehe, just wanna yell it out loud! tomorrow paper is basic concept of information technology. must study 6 chapters, huhuhuhu, i'm doomed! got to burn the midnight oil... standby coffee... standby livita... standby whatever that can keep me awake and alert tonight! let me see, the topics are:
  • introduction to information era
  • central processing unit (cpu)
  • input/output
  • secondary storage
  • computer software
  • programming language
most of them, methink me can answer by general knowledge and common sense! but as for facts, got no choice, me have to study and remember! and btw, my exam will start at 9am at um. wargh, jammed! must use federal, no other choice! have to go out early! exam is 1 hour. then, i'll go back to work. my work is getting better each day! at least, i got to do works that exercises my mind muscle. otherwise, methink me iq level will drop just like our stock exchange recently.
 
furthermore, my boss want to shorten my probation periods. normally, it's 3 months, my boss want to shorten it to 2 or perhaps 1 month. after that, i'll receive my confirmation letter. at the moment, i'm still on probation! hehehe, got to perform well ler... ooops, yesterday the spm results were announced. three of my cousins sat for it. one got 10A... huhuhuhu... me and his brother think he's an alien to perform that well... both of us only manage to get several As during our time... hahaha, perhaps we were just jealous! but, good for him! he deserves it. i didn't manage to contact the other two!
 
but recently, a lot of students manage to get straight As for SPM. so, getting 10A is not a big matter anymore! and the best student managed to get 21As, if i'm not mistaken. i wonder how he studies! i only took 10 subjects for my spm, and it was enough to make my head explodes! he must be some kind of genius or something or maybe he studied like hell and didn't do anything else. sometimes i wonder, did the children are getting smarter or the quality of our education is getting lower?! hmmm, whatever it is, congratulation to all the candidates. may success always be with you! sound a lil' bit like MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! hehehe, STAR WARS forever!
 
okay.. okay... got to go and study like there's no tomorrow! otherwise, my answer sheets will be blank! hahaha, until next time... wish me luck! “Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.” - Albert Einstein

Bad Day



"Because you had a bad day - You're taking one down - You sing a sad song just to turn it around - You say you don't know - You tell me don't lie - You work at a smile and you go for a ride - You had a bad day - The camera don't lie - You're coming back down and you really don't mind - You had a bad day - You had a bad day"
 
today, or should i say yesterday, i really had a bad day! i was scold at the office by my colleague, i scratched my car and so on... the thing is, i don't like my new job. frankly, it s**ks! my job s**ks! my day s**ks! can't wait to get a new job offer! why i hate my job? because, the environment is boring, the job's not to my expectation & my colleagues were not sooo nice, well to me at least... i feel like an outsider! i can usually adapt easily to my surroundings but this time, seems like i failed to do it! well, maybe because it's only 2 days since i began my job. maybe, i should give it some more time... maybe, if i try harder to talk to my colleagues, than i won't feel like an outsider anymore or maybe, i'm just not suited to this kind of job! so many maybe... i don't like 'maybes'... not my style! whatever it is, i must bear it until a better offer come! hohoho, me think job offers could come that easily?!!! in my dreams!!! i'm not a quitter! i'm NOT a QUITTER! I AM NOT A QUITTER! gaman... ganbatte kudasai... aja aja.. go fight win... patience is virtue! think poitive! ~ my way of restoring my spirit! q(^_^)p

and as scratching my car, no one to blame but myself! second time this month! hoho, i'm one lousy driver! first time, when i wanted to park! just now, when i backed my car! my spatial vision is bad, very bad! i never encountered any accidents while on road, well once but not my fault. the other car kissed my bumper while at a roundabout. but, when trying to park or reverse, i always encounter problems. maybe, it's true what they say about women! we cannot budget certain distance as well as men! but i CAN READ MAPS!!! hehe, i truly can, not bluffing! but, the scratch wasn't so bad!

now, back to my 'bad day' agenda! have you ever felt that when you woke up in the morning and you hated it! you didn't even started your day and yet you already despised it! i'm having that kind of feeling right now. the reason is quite clear, right?! because i hate my job. woah, if i kept saying 'i hate my job', then i will really hate it. i have to say, 'i love my job' instead to train my mind to like it. during the good old days, i loved waking up every morning and couldn't wait to begin a new day! a new day always promises something exciting and unexpected. now?! unexpected?! of course!! but exciting?! hmmm, only time will tell... guess what i found on the net?

but, at least my sour mood lightened as i went for movie with my friends! we planned to watch duyung but we changed our mind. we watched 10,000 bc instead! not bad, maybe they got some of their historical facts wrong, but the storyline is okay! got pyramids eh during that time? don't think so... next movies on my must watch lists are indiana jones and 27 dresses! wargh, 2 am already.... dreading the moment to finally go to work tomorrow, huhuhuhuhu! wargh, stop those negative thoughts already! think positive... perhaps tomorrow, by any chance, a handsome, rich, kind, eligible bachelor will come to the office and we'll fall in love at first sight... sigh, soooo not gonna happened! morn morn... time to sleep and face another day! good luck and don't forget to smile...

New Job...

today, i started my new job at RD Technology. before this, i worked at Immigration Department in Putrajaya. so, the work environment is totally different. well, it's normal considering i changed from government sector to private sector. the biggest different is, the employees' quantity. here, at my new office, we have only 4 people, 5 if i include my boss. all of them are women except my boss (again), hehehe... i learned a lot of new things today. i learned how to do quotations, recording orders and purchases etc... all these are very new to me... a lil bit confusing but think i can manage well if i put effort on it! that's it for now! until later... bubye...

12th Malaysia General Election

Source: Berita Harian
woooaah, finally the general election is over!!!! and the result is quite a shock to all of the malaysians especially to the BN. the opposition manages to take over 4 new states and even with all the campaigning in kelantan, PAS still won easily. the government can wave kedah, penang, perak and selangor goodbye. huhuhu, eventhough i'm not an expert in politics, i still want to express my view. i have the right to voice my opinion although it's CERTAINLY NOT expertly done.

truthfully, i grew up in a family with strong government aka BN values. so, it's plain to see that i'm a strong BN supporter eventhough i know it's not perfect. but, admit it, no party will ever be 100% perfect. it must have flaws here and there. we cannot expect something impossible. i'm from johor and johor is always consider a 'safe-state' and a strong fort for BN. johor always manage to take a clean sweep in every single election. but in 2004, we lost 1 state seat to PAS when the opposition won on nomination day when the BN candidate was disqualified. this year we lost 1 parliament seat and 6 state seats!!! safe eh?! strong eh?! not anymore. so, may this be a lesson to the BN leaders not to take the 'safe-state' label for granted anymore! the same situation also happened at kedah, perak and shockingly selangor! for me, when penang fall to the opposition, it's quite expected. i don't know why, i just can feel it...
 
hehe, one thing that is quite funny for me is that the opposition promised to lower the oil price if they won. that's something out of their power unless they plan to subsidize more than our government is giving now. whatever!!! we can see a lot of new faces especially MB for selangor, kedah, perak and CM for penang. lim guan eng is said to be the new penang's CM while khalid ibrahim the new selangor's MB. it maybe a good thing for BN when they didn't win 2/3 majority. it will open their eyes to take things more seriously. and perhaps the oppostion can make more improvement and development to the country... only time will tell i can't wait to see what's the future hold for us...

lucky me!

wow, lady luck has been smiling on lately! my latest luckiest moment is.... one of my office mate is going to buy me a present for my birthday and also as a farewell gift. belated birthday actually. and he's going to buy me a solvil titus watch. my current watch only costs rm50 and he's offering me a watch that worth rm500... ho! ho! ho! christmas is early for me. the problem is, i don't know which model i want. he asked me to survey around and later tell him which one i like best. but, the truth is, i have a little immature taste for an adult. i love watches that have cartoon character on its face. mine has a cute mickey mouse face.
 
since, solvil titus doesn't have that sort of designs, it was quite a bit hard for me to find one that i like. my friends and i went to a shop to survey the watches but after about 1 hour lingering around the shop, i still haven't made up my mind. the shop's closing, so i thought i will surf the net later to find the model i like but, it's hard to find titus watches. oooh, if you are wondering why, titus, because one of the people at my office can get a special price for the brand. well, i guess it's all for now. hope the luck will stay with me for a loooong time...

Long Time No See...

 
hehehe... finally, i've got the time and mood for another new post... well, since my last post is in 2007, let me wish you all a very happy belated new year. goodbye 2007 and hello 2008... may this year is way better than last year... if i remember correctly, my previous post is on the spiderwick chronicles and guess what?! the movie will be release soon... i hope it will be as exciting as the books! and talking about fantasy stories, beside harry potter i've been reading books by angie sage.her main character is septimus heap and he's also a wizard but the setting is in all magical world. unlike harry potter, the magical world and the mortal world is connected.
  
as for my final exam last sem, i did okay... well, to be honest quite well... so, this semester i took another 3 subjects and my assignments is due next week and i haven't done a single thing. suicide huh?! the last time i did my assignments, i didn't sleep the night before the due date, finishing it all last minute. i know that i should learn from my previous experience, but what can i say, i work well under pressure. this semester i'm taking basic it, web programming and database application. i'm currently taking multimedia communication. before this course, i'm actually an engineering student but seem i'm not destined to be one. but that didn't schoked me much... from secondary school, i hate engineering but under certain circumstances, i chosed to enroll in one in college. thought i could make it through the end. a big mistake.. a really big mistake. waste a lot of my time but at least, i've got a lot of unforgettable experiences and memories. some are good one and some are not... life is life.. one moment, you are on top and the other minute, you are at the bottom of the well...
 
 this time, i'm doing my study part time. i work and study, so i'm having my classes just on the weekend. hmmm, a lot of things happened in my life since my last post. right now, i'm working under contract. my contract will end in june. but i got a job permanently and will start on 10 march. actually, i'm a little bit torn in my current job and my future job. the reason, friends! i have quite a lot of good friends here at my my current workplace. we did a lot of fun things together like bowling, karaoke, vacation etc.. we hanged out every time we got the chance! yeah, i know that i will and can make new friends but things will no be quite the same... i just can hope that we will still remain as close after this.
 
today, i accompanied one of my friend to buy a new laptop. well, she did bought it and it's a pink sony vaio. i also plan to buy a desktop when i've got the budget. oops, before, i've wrote that i want a red delicious dkny perfume, right? well, now i'm a proud owner of one... hehe, and the great thing is, i got it as a present so i didn't heve to spend a single cent on it. lucky me! hmm, i think that's all for now... until next time.. btw, right now, i'm currently reading the dangers of deceiving a viscount by julia london.
