UPDATES!! UPDATES!!
when was the last time i updated my blog??
its 2 weeks ago... i've been very lazy lately to input my entries, thou' i have the urge to be discipline in updating my blog....
now, i'm lost and do not know where to start....
work has been very inconsistent lately.... at one moment i could be running around or sitting on my chair multi-tasking on the task given (as i'm covering a colleague who is on a long medical leave) and at another moment, i could simply laid back and relax whilst my eyes endure the torture of not shutting up...
work review was a total difference with my previous company... i had to prepare my own work review and at the same time think of all the points to "sell" myself against the other member.... i finally completed it last night at home, after having a moment of peace to enable me promote my own abilities.
i met up with droolz of the days last week... spent the evening at Spinelli.....
the "sotong-ness" of us are, we did not take shots of ourselves.... knowing how gila-photos we are... we discuzz abt marriage lifes... how interesting and sucks it can be at times... school days... gossips.... etc.... laughing out loud was a norm to us... even when hubby joined us, we still continued talking.... the best part of the evening was, how confident droolz walked in to Hereen's washroom, without first checking if its meant for the Ladies or Gents.... of course, when i mentioned this, it simply shows, how she cat-walked into the Gents.... HA!!hA!!Ha!!
brought the kids to Marina on the 18th to watch fireworks... how amazing it is.... i'm so overwhelmed with the fireworks this year.... my elder princezz kept saying, "Mama, the fireworks look as if its coming towards us..." bet the kids are having fun, juz like how Mummy enjoyed the evening. After the fireworks, urged hubby to transit to Lau Pa Sat to buy satay... how i craved for it at that point of time... we did not had our makan there, instead, we enjoyed the food at home, as elder princezz was fast asleep in the backseat (thanks to adik, who tapped her to sleep)...
Last weekend was my bestie's wedding, CHINTA... i attended her solemnisation ceremony, dinner and sunday reception.... how happy was i to see the glow in her face.... i still remembered during the solemnisation ceremony, she was telling me, "Maz, can u please not tear, cos' i'm gonna tear too if i were to see you in tears...." yup, thou' i've only known her for 2 years, started off as a classmates, we were close like sisters... i was given the honour to give her a speech during her wedding dinner (i knew i'm gonna be sabo, cos' i saw her kept looking out for me, and my name was actually called out last) ... and God knows how happy was i at that point of time... never had enuff of taking her pics.... i simply snap every chance i had during the moments.... i appreciate her attention too during the wedding dinner, when she actually called out for me to take pic with her.... as most of her guests had already had their pics taken wz the bride and groom...
if u r reading Chinta... may u have a blissful marriage throughout the years.... and remember, i'm always around should you need someone to talk to...
half an hour's time to leave the office for class, yup, class has start commencing last tuesday... and guess what, i'm the class rep for this final semester...
hmm, Chinta is still on honeymoon, the other two classmates of mine, Rin and Kak Ida, wont be attending class, as Rin wanted to watch Sutun, Kak Ida wants to go shopping... haiz

a remarks
got this from droolz....
I WANT A GUY......
who would move the hair from my eyes and then kiss me,
held my hand in line at the mall and make all the girls jealous.
Someone who would SING to me at random moments.
A BOY who would get mad at someone if they called me UGLY or was mean to me.
I want someone who would call me 3 times a day if he went away.
Someone who would let me gossip to him and would just smile and
agree with everything I said.
He would throw stuffed animals at me when I acted dumb and then
KISS ME A MILLION TIMES.
Someone who would make fun of me just to make me LAUGH.
he would take me to the park and give me big bear hugs all the time.
He would tell all his friends about me and SMILE when he did it.
And we'd make out in the pouring rain.
He would never be afraid to say "I love you" infront of his friends,
and we'd argue about silly things and then make up.
I want a guy that would kiss me at midnight on New Year and count stars with me.
Who would stay home with me on Friday night
just to help me make dinner & watch movies together under the same blanket.
Someone who would tell me i'm beautiful but not too often.
who would make me laugh like NO ONE else could.
But mostly, I want someone who would be my bestfriend and would never
BREAK MY HEART...
the last few days has been a real shitty days for me... with plenty of workloads that are rushing me from morning till the last hours of knocking off.... other aspects of life too which are not blending well with me.... other factors which leads to heartache and disappointment.... well, i've always take this as parts and parcels of life....well...
a week more of rest before class resumes.... this shall be my last semester...
i am looking at upgrading to the next level, but i'm still in the planning stage....
i'll probably take a year's break or so, as there are other priorites which have to go first... there is a need to prepare my elder princezz for her P1, monitoring her progress and how she will adapt to the new environment... and once she is able to stand on the ground confidently on her own, i'll pursue for my education again....
it has always been my dream since i was a child, to gracefully and proudly put on the robe acquiring my education certs.... it does not matter if it start off with juz a diploma, cos' what i'm achieving now is more to it... hmm, hopefully, it'll be an eye-opener to my kids - to do better than Mummy.... and not stop education at a young age...
Work: the proposals which i discussed with colleagues the past few weeks was finally paid off during my last division meeting... i was asked to bring up my proposal as well as explained the flowchart which i had done to the rest of my colleagues... IMPRESSED, that's what my Head think of work... of course, i'm so happy, that my hardwork is being recognised... it'll be proposed to the next level of management, and i really hope, it will run smoothly....
gotto run now, time's up, got to go back to work, its 5mins to 2pm now, lunch hour is over... didnt take any lunch today.... errm, dont feel like it... will update again soon!!

dead meat
HR paper is tomorrow, and i'm still not doing my revision.... was out the whole day of yesterday. it started off with me sending Didi for her Whizz class, and while waiting to pick her up 2hrs later, hubby n i went to Wdlands Sheng Shiong to do some groceries shopping.... we stopped by Al-Ameen as my tummy began its drum beat.... but i couldnt finish up my food... that has been me lately, been having uncomfortable cramps..... picked Didi up, and we went home before meeting up Didi's fren Hakim parents to pass some of the things we bought for them at KL.... a short break at home before leaving the house again at 5.45pm to go Geylang, as mum wanted to get her lining materials.... visited Hubby's aunt who had a fall at JB, before meeting up with my Sis and Cuzzin to have makan at Bedok Corner....
as usual, when cuzzins meet up, all kinds of jokes were being brought up.... languange used was damn lame... where we spent post-dinner gathering at our usual port - Changi beach...
hmm, so tell me, how do i ever have a time to do my readings....
and today's 'programme layout' is, sending Didi for her Andalus class, and later in the evening, gonna have fish head curry cooked by Mum at my bro's place.....
well, prob hubby will go there straight after work, whereas, i'll drive Mum and kiddos there....
damn, if i had known, i'll take a day leave tomorrow, instead of half a day... its so sotong of me at times.....
note of the day: as we post our entries into our blog, we sometimes forget that what we post of others, are actually a reflection of our ownself.... a blog is a simple exercise of one's writing an essay, words being put together to create an interesting story....
it could also be a partial story being created at an expense of one's contentment.... as i move forward, i learn to look things at the positive side.... my previous post are a very good example, read it, and learn from it...

something to think about
TRUST TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB". ---------- ---------- ---------- NO FINGERS POINTING A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too. ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need a television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins. ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- NO OVERPOWERING Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations. ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- RIGHT SPEECH There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed. ---------- ---------- ---------- PERSONAL PERCEPTION Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?" Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear... ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- BE PATIENT This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his 3-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

had settled with my Statistics exam yesterday..... was really 'fighting' for it till almost the last hours.... paper started at 1400hrs and i decided to call it off a day at 1615hrs...
i attempted the Section B question first, where i had to answer 4 out of 6. Confident with 2 of the question, whereas the other 2, i'm just trying my luck out of it.... Section A, a compulsory questions, was a 'tikam-tikam' questions for me, ya, basically, just true or false, and i simply did it for the sake of obtaining extra points.... if i'm lucky, i should be able to make it for this paper, else, a re-exam, together with my OB, however, i'm not putting a lot of hope on it....
last paper to settle, Human Resource, this Monday.... really have to work on this, i dun wish to re-module, not only do i have to pay almost $400 for it, the thoughts of having to do project is a no-no for me.....
IN LIFE......
ONE NEEDS TO LOOK FORWARD......

IT SIMPLY SHOWS HOW WEAK THAT PERSON IS.......

i'm back!!!
i'm safely back home last night....
reached home at 9.30pm after departing from AnCasa Hotel at 3pm.... my whole body aches all over... not sure what causes it.... We took an Executive coach from Golden Mile... an 18-seater bus, a comfortable seat we got, but we couldnt enjoy the screen provided.... all except for 3 of us in a row, was unable to watch any movies... reason, it's spoilt... so, our nights were spent with hubby playing his PSP and me, listening to MP3 and snores.... heheh...
we reached AnCasa at 1245am, after settling down, we took our rest.... woke up the next day for breakfast, and we proceed to Masjid India... the hotel staff told hubby it was only a 10mins walk from the hotel, however, it took us almost 25mins.... grabbed a few materials, and we proceed to Sungei Wang by taking a cab.... hubby is beginning to feel tired, so we decided to have our lunch in the hotel....... back to hotel room for makan, and soon after we fell asleep... it was almost 7pm then that we decided to check out whats Chow Kit looks like.... so, we head down there, and it was only a short bazaar, hubby bought 2shirts and 1shirt for myself.... from Chow Kit, we went to KLCC, timecheck 8.15pm.... we simply stroll around the stores, taking our own sweet times.... then, we proceed to Petaling Street..... hmm, bought bag for Mum, T-shirts, kids clothes etc... finally bought a big slice of watermelon and it was so damn sweet..... we head back to our hotel which is only a 5mins walk from Petaling Street... hubby went out alone to buy dinner as i'm all worn out... it was almost 1130pm when he came back with wrapped foods.... i had pattaya fried rice, hubby bought plain rice with tomyam... and its yummy.....
the next day, before we depart, we managed to spend a few hrs at Berjaya Times Square after our breakfast....
guess, the walkings ache my body.... hehe... and today, i had to absent myself from work.... as my body seems to be running with a temperature....
well, guess, gotto start on my stats practice at night....
