charity walk's a success, hooray!!!

the charity walk last saturday is a success. we registered at about 2.30pm. a little later than planned, because i had to pick up my niece and nephew from their piano class at alamanda. after i picked them up, i picked A at her house. then, i dropped my 'charges' at home and headed straight to precint 3. thanks to A, we managed to park at the staff's parking lot. i did mentioned before that A is a staff at putrajaya holding, right?!  we went straight to the registration booth and received our t-shirts and coupons (for food and goodies). as can be seen in the picture, the color of the t-shirt is orange. after that, we went to take a walk along the stalls and booths, get the free food provided (there's a choices of pizza hut, kfc and rasamas). i chose the pizza (1 slice of aloha chicken) and A chose kfc (1 colonel burger). the foods are free. after finishing our lunch, we stayed at A's office until 5pm. the event started at 6.00pm. after the official launching, all of the participants queued behind the starting line. we started early, at about 5.50pm. everyone was excited. me and A walked as we normally would. there were even parents with baby stroller. some were wearing jeans and flip flops. it made me and my sport shoes look a little bit overdressed. we walked form the palace to justice to picc. the walk took about 30 minutes. so overall, the 5km walk took about 1 hour. oh, the event managed to collect rm2.1 millions. if there are such event in the future, me and A would love to join again.

ps: i just started on my assignments, huhu... and right now, the current song that has the deepest meaning to me is tell him by celine dion and barbara streisand...

me n lipsticks: part II

this is a continuation from my entry me n lipsticks... dont' worry, i'm not planning on dwelling on the boring topic lipsticks again. i just think that it would be appropriate to name this entry me n lipsticks: part II since i'm posting the picture of my luscious lips (i wish!), wearing different shades of lipsticks mentioned in the first entry. this is an example of a useless activity done by a bored girl like on a rainy day. well, crossed out the 'rainy day' part. i would do this sort of activity when i have nothing better to do (actually there are a lot of things i need to get done and one of them is completing my FOUR ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS 13 NOVEMBER!), no matter what the weather is.

i've also have been planning to write a deep and meaningful entry instead of the 'what i do this day and that day' kind. unfortunately, i'm suffering from 'useful blog entry block,' so, please bear with me with this sort of entry, hehe.. as soon as my 'block' is gone, i promise you one good, deep and meaningful entry. in one of my previous entry, i have been reading a book titled 'how to shop for a husband.' i had put that on hold since my 'reading mood' have changed from 'self help english book' to 'malay book.' i've finished about two malay books and now currently on a new one. all of these books are non-fiction and based on the same topic. i'm keeping the topic a secret. perhaps one day, when the time is right, i would reveal the topic to you.

tomorrow is the 'marathon day.' me and A will be there maybe right after zohor. A told me that the organizer has started the preparation today. the marathon will be taken place near my old office and A's current office. couldn't wait to try my 'sport stamina.' and talking about stamina, last deepavali holiday, i went swimming with A at of the public community pool in putrajaya. i planned to go wall climbing after that because we went 'swimming' (we really couldn't swim, so that's the apostrophe for) quite early. despite the 'couldn't swim' part, we still were tired and had to postpone our wall climbing activity on another day. instead, we went to see 'don't be afraid of the dark' at midvalley.

next weekend would be 'eidulaldha' or 'raya haji/raya korban' in malay. my original plan is to go back to segamat after work on friday. but today, i received a call from the head office, saying i have to go for some sort of seminar starting 2 until 4 november. so i will go back from port dickson since the seminar is held there. the distance is reduced, yay! but, i have to go through the seminar (my mind set: seminar is usually boring!).

ps: i bought our universal studio singapore's tickets, hooray!!! really looking forward to it! my dream vacation spot at this moment is india. taj mahal... agra fort... oooo, wait for me please...

Charity Walk (World Hunger Relief 2011)

i just bought new sport shoes for the charity walk that will be held next saturday at putrajaya. why did i have to buy new ones? here's the story. i can't remember whether i've mentioned this before. but, i'm going to tell it anyway, hehe... i have three pairs of sport shoes. why i have so many eventhough i'm not the 'sporty type' is still a puzzle to me. one pair got thrown by my sister's maid, another suffered the same fate. the only difference is the thrower is my mother. and the last pair i have is quite worn out and quite slippery when used. so, i made up my mind to buy a new one. i wouldn't want to fall and got injured during the walk! oh, if you are wondering why my sister's maid and my mom threw out my shoes, here's a quick explanation. my sister's maid threw it by mistake. i put the shoes in a plastic bag after my three weeks training. i planned to wash it later. the maid thought it was rubbish, so she threw them away. couldn't blame her, right? my mom threw away my shoes because it were really worn out. i forgot about the shoes' existence actually. i only remember when i joined the walk. the shoes was at my parent's house. i called my mom to ask about it only to find out it was thrown away. end of story...

oh, about this charity walk, if you are ineterested, you could still register. the closing date is 23rd october, if i'm not mistaken. here's the promotion poster for the walk. you have to pay rm25 for registration. and you could register online at Hooha Asia. otherwise you could register at selected pizza huts and kfc outlets. the walk will be 5km long and will be held at presint 3, putrajaya just in front palace of justice. those who are familiar with putrajaya will easily know the venue. 

big bad wolf books 2011

my precious

see.. see.. see.. see what i bought at the big bad wolf books sale (bbw)! the sales started from 7th october until today! hoho, i went there 4 times. the first time was during the first day with A (another book enthusiasist). the second time was on 10th october right after work, alone. the third time was on the same that but later that night with my sis' family. and the fourth and last time earlier today with fatma. the sale was between 75% to 95%. normally, a book that costs rm32.90 would only cost rm8.00. so, who could blame me for buying that many books! it's a BARGAIN!!!

the first time i went, i mostly bought self help books. the second time, romance, the third time general fiction adn the last time i only bought one book, hehe... right now, i'm in the mood to read self help book so currently i'm reading 'how to shop for a husband.' hehe, nice title right? i only read a few pages so i couldn't give any good tips! regarding the bbw, i asked one of the worker there, would it be held every year at the same location and time? i asked because if i knew the future that for this sale, i would save money and bought even more. unfortunately, the worker said that the venue and date would change.but really looking forward to it!!!

mother

have you ever noticed that your mom knows exactly what u want or what u need eventhough u didn't say it out loud? it seems like she could read your mind which is kind of scary if she really could? no secrets from her, right?! hehe, well maybe she did know what's playing on our mind based on our actions or words. here are some examples of the magic things that my mom did:

• once, during my boarding school years (can't remember which form), i was craving to eat porridge with sambal. and guess what? that weekend, during parent's visit, my mum brought exactly that eventhough i didn't call home stating my crave.
• another thing to do with dishes. i was on my way back to my parent's house and i keep thinking would it be nic if my mom prepared tom yam. and 'wallah', tom yam is served, hehe...
• this one happened quite a few times. everytime i'm thinkin about calling my mom, my mom would call me first. i think there's a unique telepathy connection between a mother and her children.

even when i called home, i would insist on talking to my mother first. the line, 'hello, mak ada?' which mean 'is mum there?' when dad answered is normal. i think my father has long accepted the fact that the children prefer to talk to their mom first. so, to all the father out there, do not take offense if your children asked for their mother first while on the phone. it doesn't mean that we love dad less, it just errmm.. it just natural, hehe...

[SONG] Colbie Caillat - Realize

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is. Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And will never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by

But I can't spell it out for you,
No its never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you.

*Repeat Chorus

It's not the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it to.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

*Repeat Chorus
If you just realize what I just realized
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now

Realize

ps: this song is dedicated to that special someone whether he realized it or not! ;)

on cloud nine*sigh*

hehe, i'm so happy, happy, happy, happy!!! the reason?! HI - MI - TSU da yo.. geheimniss.. rahsia.. secret.. couldn't tell and wouldn't tell anyway.. ok, maybe few of my closed friends already knew it. so, to those peeps, please keep it a secret ok.. hehe, and for this reason i'm on cloud nine now and then. all i'm hoping for right now is that this feel i'm feeling would last and perhaps would grow even more, hehe.. the only clue i can give is, this cloud nine feeling have things to do with a really special picture taken ermmm maybe last week?! ;)

so, that's about my happy happy giddy giddy feeling. now, i want to tell you one habit of mine. when i talked with my friends, i usually use this expression,''anak aku..." which literally means "my kid.." to my friends, they would know that i was talking about my future children, but to those who just heard it would assume that i'm already a mother. actually it was one of my closed friends who point this out. otherwise, i never realized it. and another thing she pointed out is i kept saying my kid this, my kid that but never mentioned my husband this, my husband that. i think i've mentioned in one of my previous entry that it's easy for me imagining myself as a mother (because i sometimes helped my siblings as with really itty bitty minor parenting) but never had put myself in a wife spot, hehe..

so, i think that's all for now. insyaAllah, will write again when feeling like it. oh, here's a beautiful video clip from maher zain. i truly honestly want to dedicate this song to this one person that have been on my mind quite often lately...

MAHER ZAIN - FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

ps: ya Allah, if this feeling is true, if he is truly meant for me, if he is the one that you destined as my husband, please help me and guide me tthrough it. but, if he isn't, please take this feeling away gently. either way, i'm truly thankful to you for giving me this opportunity to know him even only as a friend. thank you, Allah!
