how my career get started... :) ~chapter 11~

Hi Friends,

I'd finished training for 2 weeks. Well, it is quite an easy task for me. Haha!! I think i'll love my current job. However, the problem is, the air-cond is really cold!! I cant stand the cold, so what i need to buy is, winter sweater!! Hahaha. U know right, Malaysia is a hot and humid climate, but in my office, its WINTER!!! sooooooo cold. and also, i need glove b'coz my fingers stiff whenever wanna type the reports. Haha..I wonder how winter will look like. Coz i never been anywhere which has a winter season. But what i know is, i might sit in front of the heater for the wholemonths, and that for sure. Haha~

So, today i was at home, sitting alone again, and again, and again. which i felt bored. hmm...so, i think its better if i update my blog. Sorry guys, it have been quite a long time i didnt update this blog, busy with my training session. Well, the staffs are really kind, friendly and helpful too. Thank god. :) Im happy with my job now. yeeehaa!!~

Hmm...well, as u know, my training isnt really tough one. I've time to reading articles within the training session. haha..So, currently, i'd been through the afghanistan culture and traditions. Well, u know what, i'd found the country really rich with culture and traditions. One of the famous dancing is called, Attan. Its a nice dance follow by music. I really do like the song rythm.. *dung dung dung*- when they turn over and over...hehe...nice nice movement... but its quite hard to follow :)

Well, my team leader said that i might be gonna start my shift on next month. So i've another week to enjoy. HAHAHA!! i just love the training session, dont have load work to be done. Hiihi...

Haaa....u know what, my bestfriend will gonna marry soon. The 'nikah' will be on this up coming friday-26/11/2010. But, i cant attend it coz im working on that day. Check this out...we do these together..we called it 'hantaran' in Malaysia :)

Yeah, I think, its better if i put in some of the idea of Malay Wedding..its actually no much different with hindi-muslim wedding. Coz some of the malay tradition is adopted from hindus, but has been modified with the malay religion-islam.

The wedding started with 'akad nikah' ceremony, where the groom signs the marriage contract and agrees to provide the bride with 'mas kawin' (mahar). Basically, the wedding took into 2 parts-nikah(marriage contract) and 'bersanding'(enthronement).

Before the wedding took place, there is 'adat merisik', which is basically for asking ceremony or simply we can say it as "spying custom". In this ceremony, one or more the groom's presentative will pay a visit to the woman's family. Its not a formal proposal and probably no progress may take place, depends on both family decision. If both will agree and will continue the marriage, 'adat bertunang' will take place next, where normally a ring is given to the bride as a symbol that the woman is someone's now. This ceremony took place at the woman's home. The man is usually waiting for his representative at outside of the house. The discussion will be made at that time.

Next, 'akad nikah' ceremony is sometimes took place at the bride's house, however most of the time, it will took place at mosque. Within this ceremony, an agreement with mas kawin(mahar/marriage gold) will be signed by the groom. This shows that the groom agreed and willing to marry the bride. Before 'bersanding' ceremony took place, there is 'berinai besar' (great henna-ing) ceremony. A beautician called 'mak andam' will trim the bride's hair, eyebrows shaped and make up. The bride hands and fingers are dyed with henna.

For the 'bersanding' ceremony, the main part is when both groom and bride sitting on a 'pelamin' (dais) and their family members will sprikle them with yellow rice and scented water a.k.a 'air mawar'. Bunga telur (Egg flower) will be given to every guest as a symbol of fertility.

'Makan beradab' (formal meal) took place whenever every guest had 'renjis' (sprinking scented water & yellow rice). The bride and groom feeding each other sweetened rice. Celebrations are concluded by posing for family photograhphs.

Well, for me, i will skip the 'bersanding' ceremony because i think its kinda wasting my time and money too..hahaha!! And i dont wanna be a sculpture for my weddingday later...hee~~

The apartment is, "Arena Green" apartment. From my point of view, overall i think this apartment is quite neat and tidy. The surrounding is clean and quite secure as all gates are locked. So, stranger need to access guard first before entering the apartment. hmm... I was thinking, shall i rent it o no? i met the housemates, and they were so friendly. i was warmly welcomed. However, whenever i told my parents, they were curious how the room looks like. So, this weekend, my parents will come and see the entire house..hmmmmmm.....what should i do then? i need their approvement before paying the deposit. For me, the deposit is quite reasonable. It costs only Rm 350. So, after a month, i need to pay rm250. Besides, this apartment is quite easy to access to the public transport. easy for me to go work. Only cost Rm2 per day for the public transport.heeeeeee~~

A beautiful song and lyrics... :)

Hi Friends!!!

I wanna share with u the beautiful theme song of "Mis Tres Hermanas", "A Puro Dolor" which means "Purest of Pain" by Son by Four.

Spanish Version....

Perdona si te estoy llamando en este momento
Pero me hacia falta escuchar de nuevo
Aunque sea un instante tu respiracion

Disculpa se que estoy violando
Nuestro juramento
Se que estas con alguien, que no es el momento
Pero hay algo urgente que decirte este hoy

Estoy muriendo, muriendo por verte
Agonizando muy lento y muy fuerte

Vida, devuelveme mis fantasias
Mis ganas de vivir la vida
Devuelveme el aire...

Carino mio, sin ti yo me siento vacio
Las tardes son un laberinto
Y las noches me saben
A puro dolor...

Quisiera decirte que hoy estoy de maravilla
Que no me ha afectado lo de tu partida
Pero con un dedo no se tapa el sol

Estoy muriendo, muriendo por verte...



English translation....

I'm sorry I didn't mean to call
but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak and couldn't even hide it
and so I surrender just to hear your voice
I know how many times I said I'm gonna to live with out you
and maybe someone else is standing there beside you
but there's something baby that you need to know
that deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.
Vida, give me back my fantasies
the courage that I need to live
the air that I breathe
carino mio, my world becomes so empty
my day's are so cold and lonely
and each night I taste
the purest of pain.
I wish I could tell you I'm feeling better every day
that it didn't hurt me when you walked away
but to tell you the truth I can't find my way
and deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.
Vida, give me back...

how my career get started... :) ~chapter 7~

Hi Friends!!

It has been quite a long time i didnt update this blog, bcoz i'd something to do. Last monday, i got a call from Scope International. And guess what..?!! I GOT THE JOB!!! Yeppie!! So, it starts like this......

On the monday, i received a call from ASK's agent. She asked me when will im able to start. Then i said, "hmm...myb this wednesday'. So, she told me to come over on tuesday to sign the contract agreement. On the next day, i went to Puchong Jaya. Its actually the HR Department of ASK company. They did give a map, however,i really dont have any idea where the Puchong Jaya is.. then, my dad did help me out. Thanks dad. :)

This is how the map looks like..

We went there to get familiar with the routes, so that i can drive on the next morning. I set the time and it tooks about 40 minutes to reach there. The next morning, i forgot to renew my license! Haha..I was thinking to renew it at the post office. So, i woke up at 7.20am, then get ready by 8.00am. When i arrived at the post office, it still closed, so, i'd made up my mind to gamble my luck...hahaha!! Driving without license! weehuu...just hoping cops wont catch me for this.

After been through the traffic-jam for about 1 and half hours, finally i was there at ASK HR Department. But, u know what, i'd reached there too early it seems. I arrived at 9.10am, and the appointment should be around 10am. So, i'd decided to have some breakfast. Roti kosong with hot milo..while reading news paper.

Roti kosong..

After half an hour, i get bored. Haha..alone with roti kosong, hot milo and newspaper. What a pathetic girl..so, i get up n pay my breakfast. Walking about 15 minutes, then i reached the office. I was told that, they didnt ready yet my contract. Hohooo....after all of this, they only said, "We apologize that we werent ready yet the contract". What shall i say then?? "I'd so much trouble to reach here. Need to go through all traffic-jam madness, and it takes about 1 and half hours to reach here". Im kinda piss off, but everything is undercontrol. hmm...just smile to them, n said, "Its okay. Do u have any branch nearby so that i can sign it there..". And thank god, they really do have another branch which is very near to my house. Oh maaann...why they dont ask me to come there at the first place??? can anyone tell me whyyyyy?? hmmmm... nevermind..so, i just drive back home and watched TV ....then one of the agents called me, telling me to come to the company nearby branch-Wangsa Maju. Then i said, "Okay. i'll be there, but after lunch."...then i continued watching tv...til late night...purrrrrffffff~~~

So, the nextday...which is today...On this morning, i went to post office to renewb my driving license...tadaaaaa!!!! :)

And also..i create a new Hong Leong Bank's account......then went back home..




After watching my favourite Tv series, "Mis Tres Hermanas", i went there to sign the contract. And alhamdulillah, everything goes smoothly. The end.....

So now, i just need to find a room to rent as the office is quite far from my home..After searching for the whole day, finally i got 1 room. The rent range is within RM 150-RM250..which is still affordable...hihihi...so, tomorrow noon i will go there and check-out bout the room...hope everythings gonna be just fine.....hihi...hanstee rahoo (keep smiling in hindi) *im learning hindi now ;)*
