..Doa Ramadhan..

"Ya Allah, jadikanlah puasaku, puasa orang yang benar-benar berpuasa. Dan ibadah malamku, ibadah orang yang benar-benar mengerjakan ibadah. Dan jagalah aku dari tidurnya orang yang lalai. Hapuskanlah dosaku wahai Tuhan sekalian alam. Dan ampunilah aku wahai Tuhan Maha Pengampun daripada segala dosa"

Untuk semua muslimin dan muslimat:

'SELAMAT MENGHAYATI KEINDAHAN BULAN RAMADHAN'

..Cedera Lagi..

Got hurt again yesterday.

Boleh tak pakcik taxi yang langggar tu kata ''Awak dah nampak saya nak reverse, awak berhentilah'' huhuhu. Pakcik, I may be soft, not yelling or anything, but I am so not stupid. Saya jawab je ''Saya memang tak nampak pakcik nak reverse, saya tak pernah tengok pun ada kereta nak reverse ke tak kalau saya kat jalan utama''

Kawan saya yang ada sekali masa tu cakap ''Engkau lembut sangat, pakcik tu nak buli kau''.

Maybe sebab tu pakcik tu banyak kali cakap ''Orang lain tak payah campur, saya nak dia yang bagitau macam mana nak buat'' walaupun tiap-tiap kali dia cakap tu jawapan saya adalah ''Kalau pakcik tak nak setelkan, kita pergi report polis''.

Saya dah ada dua kali pengalaman macam ni, so saya tau dia yang salah, and I have nothing to lose kalau pergi report.

Maybe dia tengok saya lembut, dia harap saya bodoh jugak kot.

P/s : walaupun kawan saya banyak kali sound saya lembut sangat, sebenarnya saya ada rasa bersalah sebab saya rasa bercakap macam kurang ajar dengan pakcik tu. Macam mana tu?

..Job-Hunting Tips..

Well, I'm not an expert what-so-ever, but I just feel like sharing. So, for all soon-to-be fresh graduates, I hope this will help. I'm not to talk about what skills you need to have, confidence level or tips for interview - I think you had that lecture enough.

So, the two things that fresh graduates need to equip themselves with:

1. Driving license - although most of us won't have car once we graduate, but I found it essential to have driving license, I mean, at least you are prepared to buy a car right after working for 3 months (well, since most banks need 3 months payslip and most of car dealers have free-down-payment promotion for fresh graduates).

Yes, you'll suffer for the first three month of your career but at least you don't have to worry about taking driving class or passing JPJ test at this stage of your life. So please get the license while you're still studying, before you graduate. Get a job during semester break to pay for the license fee, or whatever, figure out the way, no excuse!!

Because I once involved in employing new staff, the question my superior asked when I recommended a friend "Does she has transport?", "Does she has driving license?" and "Can she drive?". A "No" answer to each of these questions definitely decrease the chance of employment.

2. Be flexible - this one is crucial. If you can't stand being away from home sweet home, then just be prepared for the unemployment world. Do whatever it takes, , be far away from hometown on your own, rent a room even with strangers, well, just sacrifice first. Once you have the experince then most probably you can apply a job anywhere you want. Eventually.

These two reasons I always hear from those who are yet to find a job that best suit their qualification "Tak de transport" and "Jauh". Sometimes they decided to turn down a job offer just because of these two things. Sounds trivial to some of us, but believe me, some people let these trivial things stop them from what getting what they deserve.

So, in case you just googled "Job-Hunting Tips" and found this blog, good luck to you :)

..Happy 2*th Birthday Dear Sis..

To my bestest friend, Tengku Nurul Izyan whose birthday is today,

Happy birthday, hope you're having a wonderful day today..
May Allah bless you and your family always..
May all your dreams come true..

You know, I'm just so glad and lucky that this wonderful person happens to be my sis :)

We have to celebrate this coming raya, okay?

Lastly, *sing with Aisya's style "Yuyu, Buyan..."

*hugs...

..Don't Complain, Just Work Harder..

"Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one-tenth the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out"

-Randy Pausch, author of The Last Lecture-

..Embracing Ramadhan..

A friend of mine posted a status in her Facebook recently, reminded to settle all raya preparation before Ramadhan so that on Ramadhan, we should only concentrate on ibadah. Which I agree and I will try to do this year.

Although certain people might say "Puasa pun belum dah sibuk nak raya"...

And, ada satu kebiasaan yang saya perasan - the day before puasa, orang akan sibuk hantar (or more precisely, forward) e-mail mintak maaf kat semua orang sempena nak menyambut Ramadhan which always make me think - where's the sincerity?

..Appreciation Lunch at Le Grandeur..

This was on last week, but as I'm writing this, it's weird that I don't remember whether it was on Wednesday or Thursday. Hmm, most probably on Wednesday.

Lunch treat as a token of appreciation for us, - the ISO 9001 & 14001 internal auditors. This was at Le Grandeur Palm Resort, or previously known as Mercure Palm resort, and more previously known as Sofitel. *annually tukar nama :P

The food to me was so-so.

*This is an auto-published post.

..Kitty Cat..

This is out of terrible guilt.

I ran over a kitty cat this morning :(

I didn't know she's under my car - I never cheched that before. I thought it's a cats nature to get away from the car when they hear the engine started.

I feel so bad, crying all the way to work.

Although I really don't keep it, but having her around did make our day.

A few days before En Hubby found her twice in his car's engine bonnet. As we laugh hillarously, she looked at us as if wondering what are these two human laughing so hardly at. I wanted to take picture of that, but Hubby said 'next time'.

But there's no more next time :(

..Before Sunrise & Before Sunset...

I watched "Before Sunrise" movie in You Tube after watching its sequel "Before Sunset" in HBO recently.

I really love these two movies especially Before Sunset which I feel is very realistic and like most of the critics say 'the characters are older and wiser'. And I can't believe watching a movie that's all about talking can be entertaining. The conversations seem real and natural, or maybe it's the actors factor - Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy - they are so watchable haha. I can watch this like, everyday :P

Btw, I just want to quote a line from Before Sunrise

"You know what drives me crazy? It's all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work. You never hear somebody say, "With the time I've saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out". I mean, you never hear that."

Doesn't that sound just right? I think I'd probably be quoting more soon :P

..Earliest 2011 Birthday Gift..

Received the parcel from Mak and I super-duper love it. Birthday present from Mak, thank you very much Mak :)

Now nak cari tailor. Sounds like mission impossible but I want to wear this for raya.

..Tak De Kerja??..

Entah sapa lah yang suka sangat buat prank macam ni kan..

Owh, I'm talking about the so-called 'latest' McDonald coupon yang GCB Buy 1 Free 1 tu.

Rumors spread like wildfire and apparently nowadays, McD coupons, too. Even the fake one. Well, not that I care about the GCB pun, cuma rasa geram kat orang yang 'bersusah-payah' edit gambar untuk tengok e-mail tu merebak.

*Talking about Photoshop geeks, huh.

..Early vs Late..

When I go to sleep earlier than usual, the chance of over-slept and waking up late is BIG.

But then, when I get up a little later, the chance of getting earlier to office is BIG.

How-lah?

..Lip Treatment That Works..

Hmm... Agak tak percaya - me reviewing a beauty product?? I even have to add another label "Beauty" for this blog hehehe.

But good things need to be shared, right?

I think I've mentioned a few times in my previous posts that I have this flaky, dried and chapped lips since - forever. Dah banyak jugak lips products yang dalam affordable range saya cuba - Vaseline, LipIce, Banana Boat, Maybelline, but nothing works :(

I even tried Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie, tapi sama jugak. The applied layer akan jadi kering dan mengeringkan lagi bibir saya.

Lipstick was a big no-no for me.

Plain water memang saya minum lebih kurang 3liter satu hari, but still my lips are not improved at all. Sedih sangat and rasa give up :(

Sebelum jumpa produk yang OK ni, I tried Aloe Lip Treatment from BodyShop, but sadly, tak jalan jugak.

Tapi I dh tak tahu nak try apa lagi, so I decided nak beli jugak lagi for the second tube, but fortunately that time, the promoter at BodyShop suggested these two when she looked at my super-dry lips. So I guess I should give it a try.

Lip Care:

LipScuff:

Alhamdulillah, the LipCare works wonder on me. It moisturizes my lips well, no dried layer anymore, unlike the previous lip care products. Normally, every morning I apply Lipscuff dulu to remove the dead cells, then only apply the Lipcare. Tapi I selalu kena apply Lip Care tu, like every hour kalau duduk dalam air-cond. But that's OK, asalkan tak kering lagi. I dah try ni dalam sebulan, so far memang OK.

Since I have the worst lips problem in the world, I think whatever products that work for me would work well for others, too.

..Jurulatih Pertama..

Hubby went out-station last week. Pergi customer plant di Shenzhen, tapi dia stay kat Hong Kong. Sebelum dia pergi saya dah pesan tak payah nak belikan saya apa-apa, berjimatlah 'kononnya'.

Hari pertama dia sampai Hong Kong, katanya first day belum pergi China lagi so jalan-jalan kat Hong Kong dulu. Malam tu dia text saya. Owh, conversation agak sengal sikit so feel free to skip eheh :P

Hubby : Syg ngah wt pe?
Me : Tgk fb...pasal BERSIH.abg mkn dh ke?syg xmkn pn lg.xselera.pastu sakit pala dr pg td.....
Hubby : Sian. ni abg ade beli sesuatu kt syg.pakai utk raya.mesti syg suka giler.abg anta mms xdpt.xtau npe.huhuhu
Me : Abg beli handbag yer...tulke?
Hubby : Iyer.....handbag kesukaan syg
Me : COACH???
Hubby : Aaah.die macam clutch.xbesar.sederhana.leyla pakai raya.
Me: Uwaaaa...terharunyerr..rse cm baik trus sakit pala hehehe..tq boo boo, sayang boo boo :) Eh, ni hok ori ke hok gred aa?
Hubby : Ori la.ade warranty 1year

Seriously, memang terus baik sekejap sakit kepala malam tu. Hehehe. And yang comelnya, dia tau clutch tu apa, so cute *ye, sila muntah.

Memang saya ada banyak kali cakap kat En hubby yang saya berazam nak beli jugak one of the designer handbag, at least sekali seumur hidup jadilah, tapi taklah berniat nak dia belikan pun. I actually would prefer to save money and buy it myself since this is just a 'want' thing, not 'need' thing.

But anyway, I'm so thankful he always take note of every silly things I say. Thanks Boo-Boo :)

..Politik?..

I remember on 9th july, I got so engaged in front of this lappy, browsing facebook, you tube, twitter and what not, trying to review and understand things from both sides.

And I guess En Hubby found me so serious that day, he asked ""Buat apa tu? Seriusnya dari tadi". So I answered, "Berpolitik"

Haha.

I know some people don't care, but I do. A little too much, maybe. Owh, it's actually one of my 100-things-to-do-before-I-die things. To be involve directly/indirectly.

And on the other hand, thanks to BERSIH event, photography wise - I have an idea of what kind of pictures I want to capture. I kind of lost interest once I bought the DSLR, but now I think it's quite clear to me. But I'll talk about that once I start capturing 'it'.

Good night (or morning).

..A Little Thought For Today..

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end up by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it in the beginning

-Mahatma Gandhi-

..Tutti Frutti..

Went to Tutti Frutti yesterday at Sutera Utama, kedai ni sederet dengan PappaRich.

So, the frozen yogurt adalah sangat sedap, walaupun agak mahal. The green cup is big size, the orange one is the small size. Ada jugak pink cup which is for medium size.

Harga adalah rm5.30 per 100gm. Macam yang saya n En Hubby punya tu dalam RM35.

According to the staff, the flavor will be changed every week. Masa saya pergi, flavor yang ada - coklat, vanila, papaya, laici, coconut, original tutti frutti n delima.

Topping pun macam-macam ada :) rasa macam nak pergi lagi

..........

I think as we grow older, we'll find things to believe - for whatever reasons, and we will decide to stick to it. And at some point the belief would be so firm, it's hardly get moved by anything else, regardless it's wrong or right.

Somehow or rather, we'll interpret things relatively to what we believe.

Contoh. Cuba kalau cakap kat orang-orang yang join 'certain' MLM - yang bisnes diorang tu pyramid scheme ke apa ke, nanti dia akan jawab "Carta organisasi company untuk orang yang makan gaji pun pyramid scheme jugak"

See? Our judgement will be bias, I guess we'll believe only things we want to believe, we'll only see things we want to see in the end.

So, seriously, there's no need to argue. Tak berbaloi kata orang lain bodoh. If you're smart enough I guess you won't label others as 'bodoh' kot.

Why bother trying to persuade others to believe the same thing that you do?

It's a free country.

Or not.

Whatever.

..Dark of The Moon..

Dasyat kan penangan movie ni.. Mula-mula we planned to watch 3D version, tapi semalam, survey punya survey, almost all cinemas are full-house, then we have to settle for non-3D at MBO Taman U.

Since we bought 1230 am ticket, dah macam nak balik kampung pun ada - siap tido dulu sebelum pergi cinema hehe.

For me, I enjoyed watching it despite my interest nowadays are no longer into action-pack genre. But I don't adore the heroin (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) much since she's all that supermodel type of girl - I find that character is not real. With all the sci-fiction characters of Autobots, Sentinel, Megatron blabla, at least I wish that the human characters would look more 'real'. Even En Hubby said Megan Fox is more preferable. *And dia dapat cubitan percuma selepas komen itu dibuat haha

Lepas ni maybe kami akan pergi tengok 3D pulak bila demam Transformers ni kurang sikit nanti.
