Dear Friends,

As u know, working can be really tiring. I felt it now. Haha..eventhough my work place is so near to my rental house, n job is really not that hard, but if u do same things, repeated everydays, it can be tiring. hmm....but somehow, the best part of working is when u get paid. Yeehaa!! shop as u wish!! Well, i will get used to it. Maybe after for another 10 months, then will try to do something else. hmmmm....we will see....

Well...on this months-December 2010, the company will do an annual dinner, but i dont know exactly when. And yet, dont know what should i wear too!! Maybe just simple shirt n jeans, is enough. Put on lil bit makeup n contact lens, and thats it. Anyway, i was just thinking, why should prepare so hard as its just a dinner? next year will have another annual dinner too! duhh!!~

Hmm...u know what, last sunday i got new roomate, as my previous roomate move out as she got another job. huuhuhu...So, this is the thing. My new roomate is not that friendly type of person. Thank god we gonna meet just a few hours per day coz she works at 9PM till 6AM. That means, im gonna sleep alone every weekdays. Well, it doesnt bother me at all. However, i felt kinda lonely, somehow, i will get used to it. I rather sleep alone than seeing her fierce face. duuhh!! like i care!!~

Well, thank god too..i got a car. So, whenever i felt lonely, then i will go somewhere and cheer up myself. It will help me a lot, ... i think..hmm...hmmmmm....i feel kinda tired today. Goodnite friends!!!!

Hello Friends,

For your information, next week i'm gonna start my shift and answering calls from user. hmm..I felt kinda nervous, but i think, i will get used to it. Actually,I'd another 2 job options, which is much related to my previous studies. But i think, its better if i end up this contract and get the working experience first, then only find out other job. ;)

Everything goes well, except one thing. I think, i need to take my car with me as i felt hard to go out. So, everytime i need to shop something, i can buy it myself and dont have to waiting for someone to offer me. hmm...but one more thing to think...how bout the car expenses. Oh maann...this matter is really buzzing my head. Nevermind..i will try to figure this out later.

So, here i am.... waiting for the contract to be finished....haha...i've another 11 months to go. Hope everything is fine until end of the next year...ameen~

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.

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...

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 ;)*

Dear Friends,

Well, the story i'll tell u today is not about career though...I dont know what to write at this moment, coz right now, im just waiting for any calls from any company. hmm...just wanna tell u something. Last night my foster brother called me. It has been a long time no hear bout him. Thank god everything was just fine. Because, before this, he said that his stomach is really in pain. He also went to hospital for medical check-up, lucky its just indigestion . Hope he is doing well. He is really a nice guy to have conversation with.

Well, yesterday i went to Shah Alam with my mom to give ECPI drinking water to my brother. He studies at INTEC (International Education Centre),UiTM in Shah Alam. I dont know what is so special about this drinking water. They said that, they felt fresh after drinking this water. But it seems doesnt effective to me. I felt sleepy whenever i drank it. So, i guess, im not a big fan of ECPI, like my parents and my brother do. Okay, leave that. We went there about 4.00pm, and the jam is till on move. So, after 40 minutes driving, we were there in Shah Alam, Seksyen 6, where my brother's college was. We fetched him, then went to Plaza Masalam. Here are some pictures i wanna share with u guys...

The small bottle of ECPI...

One bottle for me.....for experiment.... *sorry for the blurry image. i need a new phone*

Plaza Masalam at night.

Plaza Masalam in morning.

As usual, i shopped at Plaza Masalam. Hey, i really dont know why i like this place so much. The stuffs there are quite cheap n trendy. Whenever i went here, i will buy something, at least..a thing. :D So, here is the things...inner hijjab...

RM3.50 for the chocolate color and RM 5.90 for the black one.

Okay, we went there and eating Roti tissue. It is not really a tissue....but it does looks like a tissue...check this out....

okay, after chatting and eating, me n mom dropped off him (my brother) to his college. And, we went home at 7.00pm. Can u believe that?? we went home at 7.00pm on weekdays?!! arghhh...the jam was so bad at that time as all malaysian workers went home at the same time...so, we trapped in traffic jam for almost 2 hours. And by 9.00pm, we were home. Thank god!!

So, after taking bath n get ready to sleep, i pasted this foot-patch to my feet. Its fuctionality is to discharge toxic inside of the body...

and the result for the next morning is.......

Hahahaha!!!! euuuuuwwww....euuuuwwwww.........

Hye Friends!!!

Hihi!! How are you guys??! hope u were doing great. I've a story to tell u today.Today, i'd attended for an interview! Okay, the story starts,when this morning, i woke up at 7.20am, then took bath. I went out for about 8.00am. Then walked to the LRT station nearby-which is Taman Melati Station. After 30 minutes spending time in Putra LRT, i reached Masjed Jamek station. Change from Putra LRT to Star LRT, then continued traveling to Bukit Jalil.

This is Putra LRT :)

Taman Melati-Putra LRT Station.

Masjed Jamek- Putra LRT Station.

And this is Star LRT.

Masjed Jamek- Star LRT Station.

Bukit Jalil- Star LRT Station.

Rapid KL Bus.

Okay, as soon as i was there in Bukit Jalil Star LRT Station, i've no idea where to get the rapid KL bus. i asked one guy standing at the bus stand. At first, i taught that the guy was a malay guy. I asked in bahasa malaysia. "excuse me, kalau nak pergi TPM macam mana? nak naik bus T418 kat sini ke?". Then, he answered me with hesitate, "errrr....apa tu TPM? u can take the bus here". he looks so confused. Then only, i knew....he wasnt a malay guy. Hahaha!! he couldnt understand bahasa malaysia. So, i replied back to him, "okh....where shall i get the bus T418? Im going to the TPM(Technology Park Malaysia). Are you going there to?". He replied, "Yes, but im waiting for my friend. What are u doing there?". Then i said, "Im attending for an interview".

After 5 minutes chatting, the bus eventually came. I thank to the guy then running after the bus. Hahaha!! finally, i got the bus. Yeppie!! Now, the bus took me to the unfamiliar place. Damn, now i got problem to find where the interview location is. I was suppose to go to Enterprise 4. I asked the guard there, then after 10 minutes walking, finally i was there, Enterprise 4 building. Somehow, the building looks like this. See the pictures below...

Well, my taught for the building is, its a nice office building, however, its a bit confusing. I lost at first inside of the building. Hahaha. Thank god i found an indian guy, who also find the office too. Finally, we got there the main entrance of Scope International office. Hihihi!! So, i chatted with the indian guy, i told him im suppose to go to the HR Department, however i'd lost!! then suddenly new came chinese girl heard our conversation. She then, told me to follow her. HAHAHAHAHA!!! FINALLY I'VE FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON TO MEET!! alhamdulillah. The journey goes quite smoothly. :)

So, I filled all the form and get prepared for the interview. There are other 3 candidates, which one of them are originally from India, Chennai. Haha...he's quite funny, coz always asking simple questions to the agent there. But 1 thing, the staffs are REALLY NICE and FRIENDLY too! not like citibank's staffs and MSC staffs. They were so rude. I talk through my experience when i went to the citibank interview, pass 4 months ago.hmm... Okay, back to the story, after 30 minutes waiting, the agent brings us to the interview room. Then waited for another 5 minutes. I was quite nervous. Then, came in my interviewer, a chinese girl. hihi...she wore quite sexy outfit. a shirt with mini skirt. She's really nice to me. So, we were about to start our interview session. During the interview session, she asked me alot of questions, but i asked her many questions too. hahaha...but believe me o not, i dont really get too nervous afterwards, coz the talk really nice n smile. Its not exactly like an interview. Most likely a conversation between friends. hehehe!! I just like her. After 15-20 minutes, the interview is finally over. Okay. Now my problem is, HOW TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS BUILDING??? omg, i tell u what, i dont know whos the architecture of this building. It is a nice building, however, its really confuse me. So, one more time, i asked one of the officer, to go out of this building. Finally, i'd found the way out. :) Then, to go back home is no problem. Its easy to go back to the Bukit Jalil Station. :)

When arrived Masjed Jamek Station, i feel like wanna go for window shopping. But believe me or not, if u were there, u cant even say,"I wont buy anything. Just a window shopping". Hahaha, i'd bought 3 shawls and 1 hijjab. Other than that, i bought black henna and coconut oil. Hehe...check this out.

Each for RM 10. :)

Coconut oil and Black Henna.

This is the place where i went to shop those stuffs. Hehe.... :)

Okay, 'til then...to be continued........................

Hello friend!!

Alright, let me tell u something. Before i resign from VADS Bhd, i was invited to the Panasonic interview for IT engineer position. So, that one of the factors i want to resign, even though there are some other factors-the working shift hours 2.30pm-12.00am, 4.30pm-2.00am. At first, i think im able to work 'til late night, but after 2 days, i'd realized that i cant do it. hmm...too bad. So, on 27th of September 2010, i went to Alor Gajah, A'Famosa to stay for a night before the interview day. Im sorry, i dont have the picture of A'Famosa Resort as my phone's screen cracked. *i need a new phone.huhu*

View of the A'Famosa Resort

The night i arrived at the resort is the most shocking moment for me. Even though the furnishing is marvelous, but then, the whole apartment wasnt clean at all. Then, my father called the housekeeper to come over, and clean all the messes. After half and hour, they came and clean the apartment and for the time being, i discussed with my father bout the interview tomorrow. Around 12am, i really get tired then sleep. U know how i feel, when the whole house have about 6 single beds and 1 queen bed for bedroom. And we were about 3 person, me, dad and mother. omg, it kinda freaking me out when im alone in the room. I even slept with all lights are on.hahaha!!! oppsss..my bad.So, the day came eventually, we breakfast at the cafe downstairs. The food is delicious and mouth-watering. I just love the breadbutter with custard pudding. It doesnt taste too sweet nor too tasteless. Just nice. :)
The travel continue after we ate breakfast. We packed our luggages and start travel to Senai, Johor. It took abour 2 hours to reach there..huh?!! Quite tiring for me. So i slept in car. Haha! who cares how do i look. :P After great sleep..here we are in Senai. purfff....the environment..:(

Yesterday i got a call from Standard Chartered Bank, required me to attend an interview tomorrow. I'd check the email, and believe me or not, i will go for the interview even though it was a bank! hell-yeaah!! haha..i cannot even stay at home for another week!! so, here i am...i wish everything is fine as i dont know anything about bank.haha. i will try my best for the interview tomorrow. Wish me luck guys. :) So, for the interview tomorrow, i will wear choco color shirt and pants with orange hijjab. Hopefully, it will not turn me into clown. Yay!!
