29th September 2008 (Red Rose and Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You)

hello people!!!!

another blog post, another rant and another day!!!! :)

first off i was set up on a blind date by Win with one of her cousins, Dot. that was on thursday and friday, both Win and Dot dropped by RC. i was suprised bcoz i wasnt expecting for Win to set it up that fast, and i was doin work with Marriz and Naz helping them out with the company's hari raya E-card. Dot gave me a rose she used in a photo shoot. it was an unbloomed rose and it had a certain scent to it and last night i found out why ;) 

me and Dot hung out last night. met her in coffee bean with her photog gang. sat there, talked with the gang for a bit, and waited for Win to drop by, which she didnt in the end!! :P

but either way, we moved to RC and no one was there. we agreed that this was not a proper date hehehe. so while we wer there, we talked abt ourselves a bit, where we've been, which skool we went too. Win was taking her sweet time gettin here so we wondering if she was ever gonna show up at all. my fren Liza showed up with a bottle but i didnt feel like having any coz i had to drive Dot home :P

when she finally showed up, she was jus grinning her face off and both of us jus rolled our eyes. Win wanted to send Dot home but she finally gave in and let me send her home :)

i've been listening to a song by Muse, titled Cant Take My eyes off of you. a nice twist to an old song!! here are the lyrics ;)

Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You By Muse

You're just too good to be true 

Can't take my eyes off of you 

You feel like heaven to touch 

I wanna hold you so much 

At long last love has arrived 

And I thank God I'm alive 

You're just too good to be true 

Can't take my eyes off of you 

Pardon the way that I stare 

There's nothing else to compare 

The sight of you makes me weak 

There are no words left to speak 

So if you feel like I feel 

Please let me know that it's real

Youre just to good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you 

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright 

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights 

I love you baby, trust in me when I say 

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray 

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you 

Let me love you baby, let me love you 

You're just too good to be true 

Can't take my eyes off of you 

You feel like heaven to touch 

I wanna hold you so much 

At long last love has arrived 

And I thank God I'm alive 

You're just too good to be true 

Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby, and if it's quite alright 

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights 

I love you baby, trust in me when I say 

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray 

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you 

Let me love you baby, let me love you

well i suppose thats it for now peeps!!!

Adios!!!

my wallpaper is courtesy of Rift and the title is "shut up". a very nice looking one and i cant help but stare into the eyes of the girl as well~~~~ VERY hypnotic~~~~~~ hehehehe


yesterday while i was at home being sick, they passed out bags of peanut butter cookies and the pics are below:


kudos to rozana and the maker of the small ketupats, who shall not be named ;), for taking the time and putting in so much effort into making these small but valuable treats!!! *hugs*


okay peeps, thats all for now!! watch out for pics of my car very soon!!!!

17th September 2008 (BMW 320i, License Plates, Loans, Deadlines, Hari Raya E-Cards, ICDL Exams and Crystals)

hello people!! 

its another swaggy day today!! luck jus dun stop coming my way this time around~~~ 

as it states in the title... yes...... i do have a new car.... and its a BMW 320i.... hehehe~~~ i paid for it last Saturday, on the 13th of September, went back to QAF on the 15th to drop off my 3 months salary slip, went to HSBC on the 16th to apply for the loan and it got approved on the day itself, went to Land Transport to day to get my license plate number and i got the one that had the numbers in my IC. KJ9299 is going to be the number that is registered for my car. hehehehe im so excited abt getting my new car. several of my workmates and friends have already booked to test drive my car or have  ride in it. well one thing is sure, i'll be the first one to drive and ride in the car, hehehehe. sory guys, but the owner gets first dibs :P will post pixs of it once i have the car, hehehe~~~

another thing that's been goin on at the office is the deadlines that we were given to complete our documents. frankly, im a bit stressed coz not only am i not able to eat to replenish my energy, I'm constantly freezing my butt off!!!! without food, i cannot function, im practically cannibalising myself, digesting my own cells. well, i hope i wont have to resort to eating myself to death every sungkai time or jus not fasting at all.

i decided to volunteer my body (like a piece of meat, hehehehe) to be a model for BAG's e-greeting card for Hari Raya this year. i have never done any modelling of ANY sort so i was nervous. i had to pose with my workmate azz for abt 15 minutes and it was so awkward bcoz we kept on trying not to laugh, hehehe. but in the end we did alright and the pictures was enuf for the first scene. im not going to be included in the other scenes which is fine by me, hehehe. 

and today i have another piece of news!! i passed ALL my ICDL exams!!!!!!! yay~~~~~~~ it was nerve wrecking but somehow i made thru it~~~~ now my probation is half-way complete!! i jus need to pass my assesment ;)

i jus realized something very fascinating for the past few days.... the crystals around some areas of the office have grown darker. according to zana, the crystals are absorbing energy from everyone (mostly stress energy). so it appears that we will need to do some cleansing in the office, singing bowls and all.

well, thats all for now peeps.

adios!!!!

13th September 2008 (1st Video Attempt!!!)

here's the video people!! enjoy!!!!

12th September 2008 (Family Trees, Videos, Coyotes, Let Go, Water in The Face, Process Flows, Unexpected Changes and Shesha)

hello peeps!!!! its another word filled blog post from yours truly!! 

its been a long day for me today, this is my second week working on a friday and not to mention i was late again for the third time this week. been kinda gettin that sort of feeling where you going to be sick. had a slight fever for the past 3 days and its getting worse. i took medicine for it and i hope it wont get anymore worse than it is now *fingers crossed*

anyway, back to wat has happened today. i had a meeting for most part of my day discussing abt process flows abt my teams project that im involved in. it gave me a good insight as to wat pieces of information we are missing. even though we had gone thru the proces flow a fw times already, today was quite different. thanks to SW for pointing out the things that we were missing in our explanation ;)

apparently, while we wer havin our meeting (theres 4 of us by the way, billy, SW, fel and myself), the rest of our team decided to draw this family tree :

its states the names of people that have been in our FA team, past and present. it even lists where they have gone off to and the year they joined. those that are crossed out are not in the team at the moment. its kinda interesting to see how many FA people have moved on to other projects . what really got to me was this modified section of the family tree where i came in:

funny enuf, i agree with this. if u havent guessed it yet, they drew evil wings and horns around my name, a halo and angel wings on azz's name and a faded heart on kitkat's name. i was voted most likely to go to hell when i die (*LOL*) and my team lead keeps on reminding me that too :P but anyway, my life and sins are my own and when the time comes, i'll deal with it ;)

i tried my first attempt at recording a video with my mac and i cant seem to get it to upload with this slow connection at Red Canopy Batu Besurat :( but i will get it up once i can get a better connection tho :)

i've been listening to a few songs for these past few days and my top fav at the moment is Let Go by Frou Frou and Coyotes by Jason Mraz. here are the lyrics!!! 

Let Go by Frou Frou

drink up, baby down

mmm, are you in or are you out

leave your things behind

'cause it's all going off without you

excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy

these mishaps

you bubble wrap

when you've no idea what you're like

so let go, jump in

oh well, whatcha waiting for

it's alright

'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

so let go, just get in

oh, it's so amazing here

it's alright

'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

it gains the more it gives

and then it rises with the fall

so hand me that remote

can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow

such boundless pleasure

we've no time for later now

you can't await your own arrival

you've 20 seconds to comply

so let go, jump in

oh well, whatcha waiting for

it's alright

'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

so let go, just get in

oh, it's so amazing here

it's alright

'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Coyotes by Jason Mraz

Sipping coffee at a quarter to two

I wake up and i'm dallin and my minds running to you

No wonder i'm a one woman man

She keeps me hot in a jar on the nightstand

I should tell her that she couldn't be more

Opposite then a foot in a door,

Theres no one else I would rather go out with, thats hell when I see them standing there

Me and my mouth we don't mean to be rushing

We talk about deep freely cuz we crushing

I want to shake both sides of the brush ya

Theatrically I say we rock it

And when the coyotes they sing at the park

Till the city lights starts falling

Ride them rodes they winding down till the flame hits the ground

Every motion is closer to touching the coyotes sing when they call in the middle of it.

Coming back for more,

You know I'm coming for you

You know we should be should be together

While we rock, we won't put a stop

Not today not tomorrow.

You better lock your doors

You know why, cuz we want you

Cuz when I kill a liar

I wish the world was a live like you.

I wish the world would help me through

Another repetuity to approach you

Another telepathic rendezvous

I wish you would walk when your jogging

You got a duty to sell in mexico

I got to try to keep you acting shady

I don't like liking you when you walk because

I gotta figure out the snooze alarm

I wanta lay in a place till dawn

I wanta play in the park come on

Now let me see ya alarm in the lesh hello

And when the coyotes escape to new york

Then the city lights has crumbles to the sea

And the girls turned it into lost and found

The flying metal hit the ground

Every motion is closer to touching the coyotes singing

I'm a coyote and I got a taste for your loving

You know I will come for you

You know we should be, we should be together,

Because once we work we want to stop

Not today or tomorrow

Because once we work we want to stop

Not today or tomorrow

You know I will come for you

You know we should be, we should be together,

Because once we work we want to stop

Not today or tomorrow

iv been listening to these two songs and the lyrics really speak to me at the moment hehehe. 

my fren yan was fascinated abt something very weird last night. he wanted to know how it feels like to literally throw water at someones face and i was conveniently infront of him when he said it!!! so i spent most of last night in a nervous state coz i know he will throw the glass of water at me jus for fun!!! but after a while he jus decided that he wud throw the water somewhere else.... and he used my glass as well, lol!!!

i jus found out some very surprising news today. the 500 orphans wont be getting their free meal from BAG Networks. instead, the first 100 orphans will receive free ICDL training instead. well, i figure that is a good move anyway. give a man food and he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he can eat all the time. it was an unexpected change of heart but this alternative has good intentions as well :) 

tonight im supposed to meet up with ak amar and some of the BAG interns hopefully for some RnR and shesha as well. with the ban on smoking its been hard to find a place to smoke shesha at all. so guys, if you want shesha and live near batu besurat, drop by Red Canopy to get your fix!! :) im still waiting for them to arrive but im pretty sure they'll show since most of them wont be working 2moro anyway, hehehe.

anyway people, thats my daily dose of gibberish and news.

adios!!! :)

11th September 2008 (ICDL, Ruby on Rails, Ramadhan and 9-11)

hello people, its that time again!!

time to spin up my version of news and gibberish to be placed onto the web to be read by anyone :)

i just realized a moment ago that today is 9-11. its has been a while since that incident and i stil remember when i first heard of the news. i was at home listening to the CapitalFM on my phone (back then, they didnt have walkman phones, hehehe), when they interrupted the current program with news that the twin towers were hit by 2 airplanes. at first i tot it was a joke since it was CT that was making the announcement but little that i knew that it was very much true. the next day at JIS, we were given the whole day to watch the news in the library and discuss our feelings abt the incident.

after all this time, has anyone benefitted from this event? some might say yes, some might say no. there was numerous talks of conspiracy and speculation but the truth hold firm, wat did we gain out of this? nothing good. a large number of people died, more died subsequently from the iraq war and the world suffered. i pray for those who have died, may they rest in peace, regardless of religion, regardless of race. we all die some time, but no one deserves to die they way they did.

on to a brighter subject, BAG(pronounced seperately B.A.G) Networks, the company i work for, will be holding a charity event where 500 orphans will be fed to a sungkai feast. the particulars are still being discussed but hopefully the event will commence within the holy month of ramadhan. iv read up a few articles on the net, from ranoadidas,  where charity events are being planned. its a good time of the year for charity and i hope that we all can set aside our differences to work together to fulfill the goals and vision of these events :)

another piece of news is personal. im currently in the process of aqcuiring my ICDL (international Computer Driving License). its actually a requirement in BAG Networks for all permanent employees to take this course. so far im feeling confident that i will pass. wish me luck peeps :) the test requires me to know the functions available in Windows XP and Microsoft Office. one of my office mates, kitkat, had trouble with the database section of the test, where she only got 80%. 80% might sound impressive to most but, 80% is the passing mark for the test!!! ur truly got 86% (heheeh) but even stil i was worried myself for a lil bit there. mind u, these are jus the mock tests so even if we do fail, its still ok. one of my other office mates, billy, got a whopping 93% for it but he claims that he got help from one of our mates and the instructor :P  

since iv jus gotten my mac, im kinda a lil confused but i'll manage thru it somehow. funny enuf, there is no ICDL exam that tests u on about Mac os or any of the other open source OSes. mayb there shud be an exam for it, hehehe. 

its been more than a week (i think) that my mac has been with me. one of my work mates, ryan, who also happens to have the first mac book pro in the office, gave me a an insight on a programming language called Ruby. he was also the person that helped me to configure my mac so that i can use it for work, so cheers to you mate ;) 

well people, thats all for now.

im gonna head off home now. btw, Rad Canopy Cafe is having a sungkai promotion, for every 6 pax get 1 free for this week so head down there okay??

adios!!! :)

4th September 2008 (Mac Book Pros and IMacs)

hello again people!!!

as the topic states above, yes... i am not using my new mac book pro!!! yay!!!! it took me years of comtemplation to actually convince myself that i shud get one of these. and yes, it is all that i dreamed it would be!!!

fast processing, seamless graphic rendering, the whole shabang!!! makes my old laptop really look like a piece of junk!!! 

i got it yesterday and im already packin in music, pictures and iv also started transferring stuff from my old laptop to this one. im still waiting for ym 1 terabyte external harddisk from qqestore tho. its already a week and its still not here. well, they dun exactly keep any stuff in stock anyway (like my first attempt to buy an xbox 360~~).

bit by bit, im gettin myself a lot more familiar with the new interface and processes. its quite a piece of high tech machinery this laptop and its only the low spec version. i can only imagine wat the high spec version would perform. 

im not really known for my kindness towards technological stuff. i push its limits to the point where it breaks. thats why my compaq laptop didnt last so long. it took me a year to break it down to the point where it is now. i predict that this mac will last me 3 years before i can declare it useless, hahahaha!! that might be too optomistic on my part coz my fren actually said that this machine will last me for 5 years!!! well thats only bcoz he hasnt seen me using my laptops, kehkeh.

iv figured out how to access the company LAN using my mac and add the network printers. i have yet to figure out how to configure documents and sort out my office email. i cant keep on using my safari to go to the internet outlook. i jus cant resist surfing other sites as well, hehehe.

last night's test run of my laptop was very successful. updated most of the stuff and got programs that wil allow me to get music and such, hehehe. 

right now im contemplatin whether or not i should put up pix on my blog. mostppl have done that and i find it quite good, if the pixs are put and arranged in a proper manner.

im tryin to get my fren (whos name shall not be revealed) to give me pix of outings, events, and other stuff that we do. will update on how my negotiations will ensue, hehehe.

well, today im gonna do a few things after work. meet up with my cousin to lend him some money, meet up my frens for sungkai, and maybe hang out at Red Canopy Foodcourt for a bit. from doing work, hanging out wit frens, i stil havent had a drink even tho i know i can get some. hmmm, a spot of baileys would be perfect this time of year, hehehe.

well peeps, im off. gotta go back to doin work.

adios ;)
