Kak Ngah's engagement

2011-04-08T01:19:00.000-07:00

Ingatkan thn ni xkn ada sedara terdekat yg akan bertunang or kawin. Sbb dh beratus duit habis sbb last year saja, ada dua engagement and dua wedding kazen2 tersyg. Smpi baju raya pn xbt. Recycle jer baju majlis bertunang dgn kawin tu. So blh laa relax skit this year. Tup tup, ada jugak yg nk bertunang. Xdisangka2, last year kakak yg kawin, and this year the sister plak yg bertunang. Apapun I am so very happy for kak Ngah. For her sister, kak Long, congrates for your lil one kt dlm perut tu. Jaga laa diri dan kesihatan yer n xsabar nk tgk baby yg comel tu. And I would like to apologize sbb gmbr kak Long maybe xsecantik gmbr kak Ngah sbb masa tu baru berjinak dgn camera ni.

It's been a quite some times since I update this blog. Sebenarnya, xdak topic utk dinyatakan. But this month mungkin akan ada laa dua, tiga entry since I will be attending my cousin's wedding in Putrajaya and for today entry is about my annual family gathering. Tahun ni gathering sekali ja memandangkan Ramadhan awal tahun ni. Tapi tahun ni gathering yg sgt xbest sbb ramai yg menghadirkan diri dan makanan pun kurang sedap. Hahahaha. Tapi mungkin sbb saya ni orang Penang kot.

What we have here:
Laksa, popiah and char koay teow

Ni la muka2 model2 saya. Dlm semua gambar pun, diorang pnya muka je yg muncul.

As I mentioned earlier, everybody is late for the dinner. Since there's only myself and Yen Nee were there early, I had the opportunity to adjust my camera setting before the group photo was taken. My victim is no other than Yen Nee. Luckily she likes to be in front of the camera as well. So I had few nice shot of her.

I haven't update this blog for a month now since my last entry about my cousin's wedding. I'm getting busy now and I got not time to look at any possible topic.

Just early this week, my manager from the States came to Penang on his official job requirement. We met at the Mumbai House for dinner before we continue our meeting in the company.

We were supposed to meet around 7:30pm for break-fast. But when I reached, no one was there except Yen Nee. Even Jestine, the dinner coordinator does not turn up on time. But it doesn't really matter.

my dissapointment

2010-06-30T11:24:00.000-07:00

My dissapointment is never less and never more than other colleagues that was waiting for some appreciation especially after the Chapter 11. But it turn out to be rubbish. The management promised a development plan for the seniors, by all mean, to all SSC staffs that have been working for the organization for more that 12 months. That means, all of us eligible for the development. At last, our manager roll out the plan and we have to apply for the position. It is nothing more and nothing less than applying a job to another organization.

Our sacrifices has been very useless, waited in the dept during Chapter 11, jeoperdize our career for the company. But in the end, all our sacrifices are about to be given to oursiders. We suffer, others are enjoying.

CPS (Children Protection Society)

2010-06-16T12:03:00.000-07:00

My friend organized a charity book donation to be donated to CPS and it is succesful. I went to the shelter with her last Sunday to give away the books. One plastic bag of used books and a box of new books. Not bad.

During my first visit there last Monday, it's a school holidays and not many children are there as many of them went back to their hometown or back to their family.

I did ask my friend what are they? She said, some of them are abandoned children or came from broken family. Some of them came from bad family background where one of their family member(s) is/are gangsters.

I got no chance to meet them, but according to my friend story, I would be thankful that I still have family, both parents and a brother. Compared to them, they couldn't enjoy the real family environment.

I would like to find myself a time to get to know those children and at the same time, I could do some voluntary job which for me precious.

Talked to one of the warden, they are looking for a treaurer and they offer me to do that job. I do not refuse, but one thing I'm afraid of, I'm scared that I got no time to spend my day at the shelter.

In my life, I always wanted to do something precious. And I think I found it.

Our next project is to gain some money for the shelter as they are short of money for anything. We had come out with few proposal and now planning on the draft before we could finalized it.

I really hope that the project will go smoothly as planned.

I'm angry (grrrr)

2010-06-16T11:57:00.000-07:00

I think I need to go for an angry management. I really need to learn myself how to manage my anger, so that I don't do anything stupid or post something controversional to this blog.

I would like to say sorry if any of my entry leave any of my reader a question mark. I admit that I couldn't manage my anger properly, so it makes me sometime off track and make an entry which I shouldn't.

Cousins Pt. 2

Glee Obsession

2010-05-27T12:27:00.000-07:00

Yeah, look at the title for this entry. I love watching Glee. But I don't really into the hero, Finn. He danced too concrete and he's too innocent. It's not that I hate him, I still like his acting in Glee, but I just don't like looking at him when he's on stage. I would prefer looking at Noah aka Puck because his nasty look makes me so safe if I were in the sitcom. I am absolutely hate Sue Sylvester. Whomever watch Glee would absolutely know what I am talking about.

Craziness pt. 2

2010-05-26T09:10:00.000-07:00

Selagi Dalila, Jaja dgn Marni masih wujud di bumi Penang, mmg aku penuh dgn kegilaan. Ini lah cerita kesinambungan dr bahagian pertama. Tak cukup dgn kegilaan makan dan berjalan2 dgn depa ni, sambung lg bahagian kedua. Kali ni, aku kot yg bawa kegilaan tu.

Had a short session with them. Not really short, I think. Planned to drop something they missed on Sunday with Marni. And I called them off for a short lousy photography session. After the short session, we had dinner in Queensbay before heading off to Ila's house. Our craziness did not end there. We spent our last night together until almost midnight. Well, we could stay longer, but thinking of Marni safety, we moved back earlier.

Craziness

2010-05-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

Today, I spent my afternoon and evening eating and walking. Wasting time from one mall to another. My friend waste her money for a brand new Vinci shoes. My friends waste their money for make-up bag, they waste their money on SimplySiti eyeliner. For me, I got only one focus right and nothing would stray me from that one focus. But I do waste some money for eating though.

Our journey don't end here. We continue driving back to island to eat again. This time, we had seafood by the beach.

Charity, ANyone?

2010-05-17T12:40:00.000-07:00

Last week, I received an email from my besties, Marni on her charity book donation to Chidren's Protection Society (CPS). Well, I would like to congratulate her for her effort to collect the books and donate it to a charity society. It seems that she got a good response from her colleagues and friends. I met her last Saturday and she told me few persons are donating few books which they collect from their friends. The news really spread. Some of her friends even donate money and we made some shopping on new books to be donated to CPS.

Kak Long's Engagement

2010-04-10T05:47:00.001-07:00

dumb or dumbest

2010-04-08T06:07:00.000-07:00

I don't know what to say.
They will be angry if I do say they are stupid or idiot, but that's the truth.
They just can't accept the fact that they are an idiot.
When people say sumthing bad about me, I just keep quiet, but when I say sumthing bad about them, they started to jump.
What the hell is that??

Do you guys think that I am stupid enough to keep quiet here.
I won't.
This is my blog and it clearly says, 'What's my heart wants to say'.
Means that I could say anything I want, and if you think this is harsh, you guys are free to complaint to anybody you want.
I don't care anymore.

To that one person, if you think I wrote this entry for you and if you think you want to make me quit immediately, be my guest.
I won't live starving out there because you don't know what I could do yet.

2010-03-02T04:38:00.000-08:00

Since my office laptop ada masalah peribadi dgn wireless connection, aku terpaksa guna PC member aku yg xjauh dr tempat aku duduk. Itu satu hal. IT plak sgt lembab dlm menjalankan tugas. Status menunjukkan mereka online, tapi there's no response at all when I buzz them. Itu lah perkara kedua yg bt aku sakit hati dan nak marah smpi aku kena send email to their big boss. Sakit hati pnya pasal. Perkara ketiga, they have taken my laptop but there's no update in an email about it. Bt aku geram lg. I told them I need the laptop immediately, so please at least update me if you can't fix it in a day. Itu laa, when I call them idiot, they jump to the max and marah2. But since my blog is a place where I could say and I want to say whatever in my heart is, I would just say they are an idiot.

Apa lagi aku blh bt when using my colleague PC. Since I couldn't watch Youtube, aku just main download lagu. Ever since my external crush months ago, aku berusaha utk download and kumpul blik koleksi lagu2 aku. Hehehehe.

Sabah trip 2010

2010-02-24T06:54:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the delay. I should have posted this entry about 3 weeks ago. But due to some obstacle after the holiday, I only got the time today. This is the first time I fly to Sabah with a cousin. Thank God, I finally get the chance to go on holiday with them. I don't need my parents to plan my holiday. This time, I got different experience.

Since I got my D60, and this happened to be the first holiday with my cousin, at least we got the chance to make our own decision. Where to go, what to eat and so on.

Let's move to the story. I went to Sabah about 3 weeks ago for a vacation with a cousin. Sambil menyelam, minum air. Dah pegi vacation tu, pegi laa cari barang yg diperlukan jugak. Byk jugak tmpt yg we all pegi. Even though dh few times I went, but there are places that I haven't visit.

They all nk visit Chowrasta, So we all bawak laa. I brought my D60 too. Bawah ni ada laa gmbr cousin aku yg aku ambik di celah kain2 4 meter.

Help me again. I'm hopeless case in the dept. I get bored, seriously bored with my job now. Especially without increament, who wants to work? Struggle for a year now, but nothing been paid yet.

But I don't really mind about that. The point is, I don't see any developement ever since I joinned. And people is saying that the dept is the best so far. But is it? I don't think so, cuz I had better experience than this I guess.

We cannot turn back time. Decision has been made and path has been chosen. This is the mistake that I need to take and live with it. No regret even I am regret.

Uwaa uwaa. Help me.

We went to watched this movie on last Thurs, on the first day it shown in the cinema. At first me and Yoges couldn't make a booking for this movie as it is fully booked. We managed to booked only two ticket at 2:45pm, but since Abg Nyak wanted to join we decided to go on Friday midnite show. So I went to the office again the next day when they open the booking for Friday nite. It was fully booked as well, and I get so frustrated as the plan does not went smooth as planned. While waiting for the final answer from the two of them, I played around with the dates and I realised that they opened another cinema on Thurs at 8:45pm and 9:30pm show. So I click on 8:45pm show and that's it, I booked the ticket for 3 immediately.

Satu mlm kt dlm bilik tido, dia acu pistol kt papa dia dan berkata, 'Papa ada hutang baby tak?' Gulp, terkejut laa papa dia kt situ. Hahahaha.

Dia sgt petah bercakap skrg. Haihhhh... Hari2 aku gaduh dgn dia.

Satu tgh mlm, papa dia bangun bersin. Dia pn terkejut dan terjaga. Dia bertanya, 'Papa, papa ok ker?' Hahahaha.

Syed Hud memang comel.

Tp ada org lain claimed they busy. But tahap busy aku sgt2 maksimum, smpi xdak masa nk update blog nih..Aku sgt tension.

Benci...Benci...Benci..

Dan apa aku dpt dgn bt keja nih suma? Xde apa2 pn sebenarnya..Org lain dpt gaji tinggi, tp keja hampeh..Kdg2 tuh xde keja langsung. Blh jer balik awal. Aku nih lak, dh laa keja byk. Tp aku blik jugak awal sbb aku dtg awal. Sbb klu aku stay back pn bkn dpt OT. Boss xapprove. Aku benci boss aku.

Boss boss ni klu xwujud pn xpe. Dia bkn bt keja pn. Keja dia hanyalah melepak kt kantin dan melepak dgn security company. Dpt gaji tinggi, tp xtau buat apa pn, dpt gaji buta laa tuh. Kami yg kuli nih yg berhempas pulas nk siapkn suma, pastu he got all the credits.

Boss suma mcm tuh.

Langkawi trip (Day 3)

For our last day of the vacation, please visit my friend's blog. I am just have no time to update my blog. Her blog is http://magnild.blogspot.com/.

Thanks.

Langkawi trip (Day 2)

2009-06-04T10:35:00.000-07:00

The first thing we did on the 2nd day of our trip is beach walking and snapping some pictures for warming up before we proceed with the major activity of the day, Mangrove tour. The tour person picked us up at the motel around 9:00 hours and there are others in the car. They are actualy a couple from India on their 2nd honeymoon and another american girl on the boat with us. So only 6 of us and it makes the trip very interesting and not too heavy.

Pictures..pictures..pictures..

After Mangrove, we went to Cable car.

Langkawi trip (Day 1)

2009-06-04T09:56:00.000-07:00

On the first day when we arrived, there's nothing much we could do. Our flight is at 16:05 hours and we reached 35 minutes after that. It should be around 16:40 hours. When we arrived, we rent a car and it took about another 15 minutes to settle and get into the car. The first thing is to get into the petrol station and get the full the fuel tank. After that, straight to our hotel (ok it's a motel).

We reached the motel around 17:30 hours and most of the places there closed at 18:00 hours. So we have not much thing to do on that first day. After we take a rest, we started the journey to Kuah town for dinner and also chocolates shopping. We got everything peoples order on the first day, so we could enjoy the other 2 days with our very own activities.

When we reached there, we went to the night market before we proceed for our chocolates shopping.

Marina bought the most. Hahahaha. She admitted her mistakes by offering her friends to buy chocolates. But seriously she is so cute with her attitude, clumsy (hey that's my trademark). She is really cute with her notebook, tulis all the orders. All the way from Penang.

Yen Nee kena jadi 'kaki botol'. Hahahaha. Ok2, we bought 3 bottles of liquor. Tak pasal pasal Marina kena menyamar beli utk ex-sifu dia, I bought for the boss and Yen Nee bought for her brother-in-law. But too bad Yen Nee needs to angkut all the liquor. So tak pasal pasal kena panggil 'kaki botol' by us.

And as for me, I just bought purely for me. And one Daim (mistakenly called Daia by my brother) for my brother. But I do spent some money to unnecessary items. I bought myself new 2-piece, and also one short beach pant. That was for our Mangrove tour on the 2nd day.

After we reached the motel from Kuah town, we take a walk along the Chenang Beach. Almost alike our Penang Batu Feringghi. With alot of shoppe lots selling beach stuffs, foods (restaurant), and handicrafts. That's where I bought my unnecessary items.

Langkawi trip (05/23/09 - 05/25/09)

2009-06-04T09:31:00.000-07:00

I update the blog during a server down in the office. So I couldn't proceed with my bunch of works. Since I can't proceed with it, and the internet connection is good, shall I proceed with this blog?

It has been about two weeks now since we left the legend island, Langkawi. The trip was the first trip for me with my friends. And I do enjoy it as it was the first time I was away from my parent for an informal activities. Please take note that I used to be away from my family for formal activity a.k.a archery competition.

Back to the trip. It was a 3 days 2 nights trip and it is purely ladies trip. Hehehe. The idea started earlier when we decided to go for dept trip but it was cancelled somehow, so the next thing we remembered, we surf the Fireflyz website and scroll to Langkawi ticket fare and we saw a zero fare ticket. And we are so damn lucky because it's 3 of us and all of us are on that zero fare ticket. Ngam ngam for 3 persons and when we added up the 4th person, there are only zero fare for one way and we need to pay for the return ticket. So we decided to booked immediately and we only pay RM70 per person. Cheaper than ferry fare ticket. We booked a month earlier than the trip.

When the date is coming nearer, the three of us get so excited and start searching for places of interest in Langkawi. Tho we know there are few, but we still search so that we know what are the plan. Plan ahead ok.

Adventure to be continued....

Am I reGreT??

2009-05-14T08:51:00.000-07:00

I dunno if it is over to say that I'm kinda regret to leave my old company which is AMD. I do learn a lot of thing in current position and I thank for that, but in a way I feel the lackness of knowing peoples around the company although I am reaching one year in the company. Not to mentioned, in AMD I know almost everyone there and I'm glad to know each and everyone of them. I seriously dun find any interesting things in my current company, no annual dinner, no activities. I can say there are nuthing in the company. The biggest boss to manage my company now, well, I would say an idiot cuz he knows nuts about anything. He's so afraid of taking risk and always did wrond decisions that will impact the company badly.

This is another episode of myself being bored with my job. I am seriously trying to digest everything, but the more I do the more I feel the unsincerity of doing the job. And I belive that my productivity has gone down with this feeling and I don't feel sorry for that. I really hope to get the fun in my job very soon and am trying to enjoy every angle of it now, but I am not sure how long could I stand to it. I do feel like I am doing some kind of non value added job as well as doing clerical job which I don't wish to do. So this is the right time for me to move on to another level.

My fren, Marni..Please carry out some advice to your poor fren.

Thank you.

Another post after so long. Requested by my gud frens to update the blog, but honestly I have no idea of what to write. This blog has been privatized to secure my privacy in blogging.

Since I bought a new camera and my class, exam, I am quite tight up with full schedule on my shoulder as a student and employee and also progressing photographer.

Few comment from my close friends. They were asking me to do freelance as side income as I owned the SLR, but I better be expert and get used to the mode and camera itself, then I will proceed to accept the suggestion.

Last weekend, I went for another lousy photoshoot session alone around Penang Island.

The first 3 pictures was taken in one of my fav past-time place where I spent most of my time there alone surfing the net.

The second slide was taken behind Gold-Coast condo facing the Jerejak Island.

I went for a drive last weekend. And my D60 is already a week now. My fren drove my car while I am busy k'chaq here, k'chaq there snaping lousy pictures. I don't have the time to go after we bought the camera because it is already late as we are so excited to get the camera together, so we negotiate to get the best price. But unfortunately, the week after we officially called ourselves Nikonian, both of us work nite shift (of course laa, we work same company, same dept, same shift lg), so we don't have time to snap pictures with our new Nikon. After a week only got time to go, but we go separately of course. Since both of us have our own business to settle, so we brought our camera together and we snap here and there all the junks laa.

It is just about three weeks since we say goodbye to Mira, Yoges and Jane. Now it's time to say another goodbye to another colleague, Aslinda. She just joinned the team for two months and due to the economic condition, she force herself to move to another strange environment. It is not really her decision as she don't apply for the position, but her friend offer her the job as the situation is very uncertain in Spansion. It is a hard to decision for her because she gave a very short notice to leave us.

A day after she decides to go, our boss announces that out dept will be safe even if the plant closed. That's really shocked her becuase she don't plan to leave the team that early. But as she already confirmed with her friend to accept the job, she has no choice but to accept that she has to go. As she is leaving, she insist to do the last steamboat with us. So we just prepare a very basic ingredient but we still enjoy ourselves.

For Mira, we still received her news from KL and updates from her blog. She seems to be happy with her job even she complains about her colleagues and her jobs. According to her, the job there is tough. Of course it is tough when you are talking about Legal, but since it is her passion we know that she can do well. And as usual she is the most happy-go-lucky person.

For Aslinda..
Don't forget to update us in your blog

For Mira..
Don't forget to update us also and don't forget to contact us when you come down to Penang

I haven't been blogging for quite some times now since the economic downturn and a lot of rumours running here and there about my company closing down. I have no idea of what to write and blog about. It is almost a month now I did not login to my blogger account. I realy don't get any idea to write at all.

Until yesterday, my boss announced good news to the whole dept which realy relieve us. First it's about Marina who will be extended her contract for another 3 months. What a bless for her. I am happy for her but sad as Linda is leaving us with a short notice. But losing one and remain one is good enough for us rather than losing both. The second news was about the dept direction. There are news saying that our company plant in Penang will be sold off to others. That means the Plant will be 100% closed and those peoples work under the organization will also lose their job. But as our dept is one of the Global dept, our VP in US ensure that we secured our job and they are now in a midst of looking for a site to place us. That's realy relieve us and the others.

I got not work in the office these few weeks. Not to say that I don't have at all, but not too busy like I always do. So everytime I came into the office, I am wondering of how to keep myself tight. The only thing I can think of is downloading song and I got one site (for me quite complete) to download songs. I'm not only download one song but I searched the whole song list for that desired album and I download it one by one. I had downloaded few album such as Hinder and Nickelback and I also download the soundtrack for The Cheetah Girls.

I am now downloading the original soundtrack for Center Stage but I can't realy find all the songs.

This morning, the whole department was called to Kaizen room for a short annoouncement. The news was expected to be the retrenchement but it is so sudden especially for those who is ending their contract end of this month. It is just a week away of that day and it is just not fair enough for them to prepare. Although earlier warning has been made by the boss, but HR who just announced it on Friday shouldn't do that as they are also human being which need to be treated fairly. If they can't treat the human like they should be, what is the meaning of having human resource in the company if they can't think of that simple humanistic value. I know that one of my close friend here who will be affected has prepared in advance but there is another chinese girl that will end this weekend couldn't take it in the very short period. As to ease their pain, my boss wanted to arrange a job hunter for them that will be affected by calling them to the plant and help them to get another job. That's the good effort even if they don't get any as the bad economic downturn, but at least they already have the contact..

For those people...All the best..I know you will get a better one soon..

I just read one of my friend blog which talks about her emo life last time. How she wants things to follow her way.

I do admit that I am very emotional and sensitive though. I always wanted things to follow my way and it should be perfect in every way. But I try to reduced it step by step when I start to realised that people easily get hurts with my way of doing things. And I become more loose in setting a rule.

When grew up to be young adult and a student in one of the college, I started to be more mature and dicussion carried out to settle most of our tanggle. When times past, the opposite things happened. I am the one who always hurt instead of me hurting people. But I always know myself well. Whenever I speak, I always hurt peoples heart more than they did to me. So what I do is I just keep my mouth shut and let things happen the way it suppose to be even if I am always hurt.

My patience has its limitation. There is a time when I can't stand people hurting me and I kept myself away from those people and found my new partners which bring me the happiness and we are still good friends till today.

Here we come another night of steamboat. This time with proper preparation. Not that proper but at least we delegate some duties among colleagues.

I've decided to go to Tesco with Yen Nee since she's coming down from Gelugor and it's located in the middle between our home. Zamirah in charged with the cotton bud mushroom which is our favorite. Abg Nyak sponsored few bucks for drinks and Fikrie bought all the drinks. Nicole and Jane volunteer to buy some stuff as well. And for the soup non than our own Marina Shah.

We are kinda stress with current situation where alot of rumors running around us, so we are just trying to keep ourselve happy and forget of those negative things happens around us. And luckily we have a very supportive team to drive the night smoothly. While we are doing our assignment, the others which has finish off theirs, help up to bring all the tools and ingredients outside.

Hahaha..Wut a boring nite again. One minute we are happilly doing our task and the next minute none.

So at 2 in the morning we went out for our supper and we had it in Pelita. Went into 2 cars. Right after the supper, we decided to race. Hahaha.

The funny part is our car drove by Zamirah 'langgar' the no entry sign and speed up to the traffic light and we 'langgar' the red traffic light as well. But when came to Giant traffic light, we waited hoping to have a fair race but they don't turn up. We speed up to Bkt Gedung and enter the custom gate. Hehehe..There are a lot of stories at the custom gate..That's why we speed up. Thought of waiting them, but too scared of doing that.

After we entered the gate, we did wait for them but at the middle of the road. Once we saw the car turn at the gate, we speed up again. And stop another time in front of BBraun with their ppls looking at us. Hahahaha..

Enjoy doing crazy stuff with my 'Dream Team'....

After about 6 weeks of shutdown, I did nuthing at home. So wut I do is I come to the office and talk, laugh and do all the 'merapu' things with the Dream Team. (I am so excited since we have this Dream Team thing)

Since it's the first nite working nite shift, only me and Marina are in as Jane on semayang tebu ceremony. Luckily our beloved boss willing to join us on the first and boring nite. And I invited Yen Nee, Zamirah and Linda. In the end, only Zamirah turn up as Linda not feeling well and Yen Nee is obviously cantonnese. So four of us in the boring first nite.

We are so free on the first nite, so we have nothing to do. Just clear up few outdated requests. Then, apalagi...We all lepak2 and the best part..Play ping pong.

Hahahaha..We are not a ping pong player and obviously we can't even hold the bet in the right way. So apalagi, disaster laa. The ball flying and hitting everywhere especially when Zamirah hit the ball. She's left-handed, so when she hits the ball..Out laa from the table..Hahahaha. But after a while, things getting better and we could play quite well..Hurmmm, if to compare better then the disaster laa.

Enjoy playing ping pong...And thanks to abg Nyak who taught us the basic but basically we are so tangan keras..

What a crazy plan? We planned to had steamboat lesser in a day. We met during breakfast and suddenly Marina initiate to do steamboat on the very same nite since everybody coming to work especially Yen Nee and Zamirah are going back to their hometown the following morning. Since everybody is free and agree with the plan, here we come 'The Steamboat Nite'.

Zamirah in charge in buying the ingredient and I just brought some left over from my house. Marina is the one to prepare the soup and equipments. The rest, just come and eat. Hahahaha.

The best part is when we need to get some empty bowls inside the canteen as they don't left any outside. So we try to get ourselves inside the kitchen and 'curi' some bowls. Hehehehe.

Here comes. Another blog about our second trip to Mukahead. It happened suddenly. At first we planned to go to Langkawi for one night stay. But all the hotels are fully booked due to holidays season.

One morning while having drink, we are talking about the first trip. So all of the sudden it slipped out from my lips to go again and the rest are just so excited.

The five from the first trip remain the same and we have additional 4 participants. We set the date and the place to meet with other proper plan such as breakfast, lunch and junk foods.

When the arrived and meet at the place we promise, we start the journey and arrived at the National Park just in time as what we plan.

We planned to hike all the way to USM research center, but the information board caught my eyes with a cheap boat fee if we wanted to take a boat to the place. As we brought a lot of things with us together a flusk of rice, I guess it is quite difficult for us to hike. So we decided to take the boat and our boss agree with it.

When we arrived at our destination, the first we did is eat. Then the swimming session for sure the next. After tired, again we eat. Then swim and the same event repeated few times. Hehehe.

Here are some of the pictures...

Yesterday, I went out with a friend to somewhere in Pulau Tikus and happened to pass down a new building of PERKESO. What a wonderful and cool building. If they can built that kind of building, I can assume that they can also settle all the cases faster.

Here's my concern. My brother had an accident about a year ago and it is closing to 2 this year. But his case haven't closed til today and he just received letter from lawyer saying that his case is in hearing.

The same case goes to my sister-in-law brother's case. He has been waiting for the compensation for about 3 years now, but nothing.

Not to mentioned thousands of other cases which already been delayed for years. I heard of one. The person's case already with PERKESO for 8 years, but he don't even get a cent. Just imangine if the 8 years case can't be solved, it is not impossible for other cases longer than that to be on hold on PERKESO table to be solved.

What's the point of cutting our salary and pay to PERKESO but they can't pay us on time. But they still can built a nice and big building. What do you think? Do they really use government money or our salarys'?

Hehehehe. I got not time to update my blog right after my trip. Things get so havoc after a touch down to the office. I need to settle all the pending requests, issues, follow up etc.

After struggles to finish off all the works for blogging, here comes the original writer's story of Sabah. Hahahaha. I'm lazy to work actually.

My second visit to the Borneo after the first in 2005. Well, the first always be the best. This year's trip I think will be more valuable cuz we realy go to the 'Kampung2' site of Sabah. Taste the real life of Sabah.

The first day when we arrived, we dun do so much activities except for lunch at one of the 'mamak' restaurant. Taste not nice at all. I would still prefer Penang mamak. Only in the evening, we took a walk to the Philipines Market and shopped for the pearls and we went the wet market beside to shopped for our dinner dishes. What we had for dinner is so Penangite. We invite over our tour guide to have dinner.

Early in the morning the next day, two of our participants went over to Mount Kinabalu. And what we do here in the city? Hahaha. After breakfast, we walked along the beach to the shopping mall and went back straight. Around afternoon, our tour guide came and fetch us to her hometown in Papar. But we stopped few times at the market to get some 'ikan masin' and 'belacan' as souveniour. After few stops, we finally arrived at her hometown. It's a lovely big 'Kampung'-style bungalow with natural scenery surrounds the house. We are on free activities in the evening except for dinner, we went for a very special seafood dinner.

On the third day, we don't go anywhere but early in morning we head straight to Mount Kinabalu to fetch the other two. Along the road, we stopped by at few market again. The scenery along the journey just so nice and so natural. Planned to stop for hot spring bath, but they just arrived so early than planned. So we head straight to fetch them. When we arrived at the 'kaki bukit', the whether was drizzling, so I had hot soup to heat myself.

The fourth day is the day that I was waiting for. The trip to Manukan Island. I love beach so much. When we arrived, I get myself changed and had breakfast which my mum bought. After that, I head straight to the beach and had good time. We spent our day until 3 in the afternoon. When we arrived back to the city, we walked all the way from Jeselton to our apartment and it took around 20 minutes but we stopped to have our late lunch + early dinner at one of the restaurant. I've tried Sabah rojak which is very2 different from our rojak here.

Another day yg memenigkan kepala. Dgn keja yg semakin bertambah + additional problem yg sepatutnya bkn masalah aku tapi harus difikirkan utk masa depan sendiri.

Here's the story:
Masa mula2 nak join the new company, I am kinda excited. But dah mula dengar story2 yg kurg sedap didengar. Amaran awal psl the 2 persons mmg sgt 'hot'.

So bila dah masuk, dah take note of these 2 persons pnya attitude, langkah berjaga2 diambil. Tapi masih bertegur sapa dgn diorg mcm biasa siap blh kuar mkn waktu keja mlm bersama.

At first yg sorg nih mmg agak ketara laa bncinya, tp yg sorg lagi nih pndai pulak cover2.

Disebabkan dia shift leader aku masa tuh, buat tak tau je laa. Nak buat apa lg, sbb dia ada veto power slps boss di waktu mlm. So kitorg pn kuar laa time mlm2 pegi supper and we talked nicely.

Things start to change masa bulan puasa, sbb org yg ketara bnci kt aku tuh mmg dtg awal utk bersahur bersama2. Mmg aku tau dia agak terpaksa berbaik dgn aku. Tak kisah laa, tak buat salah bt apa takut. So dia selalu dtg aroung 3 in the morning and diorg tersedia maklum boss dtg pukul 4 pagi. Tp diorg sengaja kuar awal utk mengelakkan diri. Tp disebabkan aku baru dan boss itu jugak yg interview aku, aku pn tunggu laa dia smpi kul 4 and pegi sahur sama2. Tapi skali skala aku ikut jugak budak berdua nih utk mengelakkan gossip2 panas dlm office.

So masa tuh shift leader aku nih pn dh mula laa rasa lain sbb keakraban aku dgn boss tuh td. Sbb shift leader tuh dh tersuka kt boss dia sendiri.

Tp sepanjang bln puasa tuh blm lg ketara laa bencinya, tp semakin menjadi2 masa budak2 baru masuk. Hehehe, geng aku laa katakan. For sure laa aku rapat dgn diorg suma. So sejak dr situ, dia dh jarang kuar minum or join kitorg pegi supper.

Psl the other girl tuh, she changed drastically. Memang perubahan dia agak ketara laa. Lagi laa terbakar member. Sbb rasanya itu laa satu2nya kwn yg dia paling rapat sbb diorg duduk side-by-side.

Kebencian shift leader aku nih bertambah2 bila aku ditukarkan ke shift satu lagi + aku pulak jadi shift leader for my shift. Lagi laa sakit hati dia sbb aku baru jer 3 bln kt company nih dah dpt mcm2. Dan aku jugak pegang mcm2 additional role dan dia skrg berada dlm keadaan yg terlalu disadvantage.

Skrg nih yg leganya sbb aku dh tak satu shift dgn dia dan tak perlu laa aku fikir sgt psl dia. Dan aku jugak ada bnda lain nk fikir selain dr fikir psl dia sbb aku pn ada own shift utk aku lead. Tapi yg tak best aku still kena cooperate dgn dia kdg2. Tp aku try utk kurg bercakap dgn dia sbb klu bercakap pn mmg menyakitkan hati.

Just one msg I would like to say to her:

Hi all.. This will be another time I blogged about my activities in Spansion. But this time is an internal activity which was held on Spansion cafeteria in conjuction of Eid-Mubarak.

Since the Muslim had just celebrated Eid-Mubarak two weeks ago, the management of Spansion hold a lunch for all Muslims and the VIPs.

The best part of the lunch is the foods. There are varities of foods served to invited guests.

Below are some pictures snapped during the 'Lunch'.

The three angels posing before 'Lunch'

The picture was taken in the office. It is not easy to see me with baju kurung in the office, but since we are required to wear our 'Baju Raya' during 'Raya Gathering', I chose to wear sumthing comfortable.

The only table that short of one person

Each table was set to be 5 person. All other tables are full except for our only table which was seated by 4 persons since nobody from our dept are joining the event.

The three angles during 'Lunch' ceremony

Picture was snapped during the event. Just look at the dishes. Well, left only those rubbish. Picture was taken by our beloved big boss for his beloved angels.

Charlie and the angels right after the eating ceremony

Picture was snapped after eating. Well, everybody is showing their happiness cus all of us are just so full with the foods. Except for the boss, his stomach is exploding I guess.

A snap with HR peoples

Picture taken with the HR peoples. It is easy to identify those from HR. They are in green. Just look at the picture. Only two of us from SSC are odd from others.

2008-10-12T16:01:00.000-07:00

It's the first external outing since I joined Spansion. Just a small trip to those who really enjoy beach. It has been planned for quite sometimes even before I join in the team. The person to initate the trip is our beloved boss, Abg Nyak. But we planned quietly. He asked to invite our admin staff together, and she accept it happily. So 3 are in until the new staff, Marina came in and she was so excited about the trip more than we do. Few days before the trip, we had a meeting and the boss informed everyone if they are interested to join. But nobody came back to us, except for Fikrie who we asked upfront. Confirmed participants now are 5 persons.

Initial plan stood to go on the first week after Raya. It will be on Oct 11, but since one of us can't make it due to some reason, we went one day delay which is Sunday, Oct 12. Luckily everyone is free that day without a single plan.

We meet up around 7am at my house, but we only started our journey around 7.25am because one of us was late. We still managed to get there on time as promised.

When we reached the place, the wheather was quite sunny, but while getting ourselve ready the weather changed to be so nice for beach activity. All of us seem to enjoy the trip even just a small group went. We get to know each other better. Well hey, it is an off day, forget work, welcome weekends and fun.

Not much activity we could think of as we don't have an actual plan. We just go there for swimming and eating basically. The boss brought over his rod without 'umpan'. So when we reached there we have nothing to do unless swimming and eating. But time goes by and we could think of some crazy activities. We decided to free-style jump at the jetty. The jetty is situated at the middle of the beach. We walk off and count the best place to jump. Just to make sure the place is suitable and deep enough to dive. Even our boss did the honor to jump.

After all the crazy thing, we just dip ourselves in the water and talk about each other. This is the ice-breaking session. Ask all sort of questions. And we started off with another crazy activity. Me and my friend are wondering of the sychronized-swimming. All the step and the pattern. We tried out the very basic pattern, but unsucessful. While pushing ourselves in the water, it pushed us backward. Hahahaha. We did the jumping as well. Hehehehehe.

Halfway of the fun, raining started off. Drizzling and getting heavy. So we take up a boat and off from the place. After a while, the rain stops. Oh gosh. Even we are a bit frustrated, but the day are a wonderful and enjoying day for all of us.

Just arrived to Muka Head and having our light breakfast

Eid Mubarak in the office

2008-09-30T15:14:00.000-07:00

Hurmmmm, what a sad thing to say. I celebrate my Raya morning in the office. I'm the on single Muslim to be in the office during that day. But since I came in quite early that morning, I managed to persuade my leader to release me earlier. So she let me go at 10 in the morning.

It's not a bad morning after all since I went back in the morning. When I reached home, there is nobody visiting my house yet. But while ironing my clothe, my aunty on my mum side came. It only took me around 10 minutes to take bath, so I manage to be in my Raya clothe in 30 minutes. Hehehehe. I feel like at home even I need to work at 4 in the morning on that particular day.

On the third day of Raya, all my aunts and uncles from KL came down to Penang and all gathered at my house. The house were fully occupied by my relatives. It's a tiring day but I'm enjoying it since they are so closed to me.

So we all round the town together to our relatives house but I need to cut it short since my gud friend invites me to her house. Reached her house around 4.30pm. She serves us with home-made laksa. Yummy. It's my favorite. I finished of the first serving and she served me second serving which is more than the first. Okay, I am so full.

That night after visiting my friend's house, my cousin sms me and asked me to go to Gelugor which is my uncle house. We are supposed to go for movie or lepaking, but we end up to be eating at Padang Broom (am not sure of the spelling). Hahahaha. The whole day, I've load my tummy with various meals from Ketupat, fried noodle, rice with chicken, prawn to laksa. In the end I decided to drink but I still share fried koay teow with one of my cousin. Wut a full day.

Outting (09/28/2008)

2008-09-28T13:35:00.000-07:00

We went out on the last minute plan since we need to catch with one of our friend which will go back to her hometown somewhere in Negeri 9. But we get to know that she is not going back to her hometown instead celebrating her Aidifitri in Penang.
Since we are coming to and end of Ramadhan, we decided to have dinner which is also our break fast together.
We reached Queensbay around 6.30pm and after we placed our order and pay for reservation, we went for a short walk to survery on few things.
About half-an-hour before break fast, we get back to position in Kenny Rogers. While waiting for the time to eat, we talked about our separated life, friends, gossip around around about peoples. Hahahaha.
As our culture, we do take few shots of pictures of us and also the meals. Hehehe.

As you can see in the picture, 3 of us took the quarter meal with 3 side dishes. The small bowl with brownish color soup is actually additional black-pepper sauce requested by my friend. Good though.

I had a short conversation with a friend last time from AMD. It was so sad to hear that her application to transfer to permanent morning shift unsuccessful due to her arrogant boss (my ex-boss).

He's been giving alot of stupid excuses to let her work on rotation in a 5 month pregnancy. How rude..

First he said she needs a formal letter from the doctor, then when she did have it, he go around the world asking her to talk to the industrial nurse. When she talk to the industrial nurse, she told her something else which she already discussed it with the boss.

The boss now keep buying time and her tummy is getting bigger. The last thing I knew, the boss might consider again when her pregnancy reaches 7 months. Can you guys imagine working night with your tummy like that?? How selfish.

What is so hard to let her go on morning shift till she deliver her baby. Come on, normal human being will think wisely as you have your own family too. What if the same thing happened to your wife? So lucky that your wife are working in morning shift.

I will never wish bad things but I don't wish you well. Well I hope that you guys out there understood the meaning of the sentence carefully when I say it, I mean it.

Guys will never understand the pain of women but at least try to understand by putting yourself in our shoes will make you human enough.

It's been less than a month since I joined the new team in the new company. And less than a month one of my friend in the team are leaving me and the team to pursue his passion.

Since he is leaving in two week time from the day he tendered the resignation letter, and one of our teammate are leaving to US, we did his farewell earlier. After further dicussion and support from the whole team, we finalized the lunch to be at Pan-Mutiara.

Aside of his farewell, there is a good news instead. Our beloved boss has been promoted. So he decided to treat the lunch as his promotion treat as well as our friend farewell.

I dun realy expect them to know my birthday, but it really suprised me. Just with a simple celebration where they bought a small cake which enough for the whole team.

Finally...

2008-08-05T21:35:00.000-07:00

Finally, I would say that I am so relieved that I escape myself from the most-amazing-experience-fantastic boss ever.

As I already left the company for almost a month now, sad to say that another friend is also leaving the same boss. In the past few months, there are already 4 persons left the team, and it is going to be 5 soon. But the boss only manage to get one person as replacement. Initial plan is to let the new hire to replace PK's place, but as the 5th person is leaving soon and nobody know how to handle her job and task, he will need to change the plan and let the new hire to learn up her things.

And now, I am opening a new journal which begun with a very unpleasant journey where I need to take it very easy, so that the issue won't be a big one, not until it will impact my career.

Luckily, I have few friends that support me in any things I did or about to do. At least they are there to give sum advice as they believed that I can handle it in the most professional way which is, move slow.

The thing has become very slow now as time goes on. Relieved to myself as this don't drag too long.

a good weekends (08/02/2008)

2008-08-03T15:09:00.000-07:00

Since I am celebrating my birthday last weekends, I dun expect so much just like previous years. But it turned out to be a wonderful birthday. First of all, the day before my birthday, my bro treat us a big dinner, so about 13 persons attended (not to count the two babies). Well, this was the first time he treated me on my birthday. The first plan is to have it on my actual birthday, but initially, I will be joining a camp which has been cancelled last minute, so he decided to do it a day before.

On my actual birthday, I dun do so much activity as I thought of going out with him, but since he has sumthing urgent came last minute, I stucked at home until around 2pm before my bro asked me out to shopping mall. He did mentioned about my birthday gift, and he intially he intended to get me a MP3 player. But since I voice out to have MP4 for myself, he needs to buy it for me as I am not showing any interest in getting a new MP3. Well I like a perfect life, but we won't really got it. After he bought the player for me, I thought we are heading back home, instead of going back, they headed straight to the night market at Bayan Lepas. Another test came. I thought of going out with him, but since we went to night market and the food are so tempting, I got myself few items and in the end I need to cancelled all the dinner date with him. We sitll went out for a light drink at Coffee Bean, my favorite place to hang out while having Salmon Scramble.

He realy suprised me this time as nobody ever did it or suceeded to do it. But he realy got me this time. He is getting me a pair of new earring since I am allergy to a normal earring. He told me that he cannot managed to get it on my actual birthday as it is already late for him to get into a shopping mall and survey around the nice earring. He called me and informed me the bad news.

He fetched me around 10.30pm (quite late), and headed straight to Coffee Bean at Gurney. After we are done with our order and got our food and drinks with us, we chose to seat ourdoor. Right after I sat at the place, he took out a small box from his pocket and put it on the table. The moment I saw the box, I was looking for a clue and I saw a wording on it. It is written 'Habib Jewels'. Yeah, I know his dad owns the jewellery shoppe. Hahahaha. I shud asked for a diamond necklace instead of a pair of earring. Hehehehe. Or I shud asked for a custom-made necklace that carved my name on it. Wut an exclusive gift from him. Thanks so much. It is wonderful to get it from sumone like u.

The next morning, early in the morning I will need to attend an event hold by MPPP. It is a requirement for the NGOs to attend those event if we are asked. But we are late to reached the place, so the event already started and it is almost at the finishing line. They closed sum of the road there to give a way to the runner, and since I am the expert of the short-cuts, we managed to get ourselves to the place. Even the weekends went smoothly, there is an incident where I got so dissapointed but still satisfied, hehehe with the revenged (sounds so cruel of me).

There's a man standing in between the foods served. When we tried to get it, he informed us that the foods are only meant for the commitee, so I told him that I got a special invitation from the officer to take the food. There's someone nearby allowed us to go as he recognised the officer, but as he spoilt my mood, I decided to walk out. As we walk out to our bike, we saw Vico van as they are giving free drink. So we stopped by and get one each. After that we decided to go home as I dun get enough sleep. I am so sleepy maybe because I get a holiday for a long time as I am just resigned from my job. While waiting to join the new company, I dun have anything to do unless sleep and eat. I guess, it is one of the reason why I get tired and sleepy easily.

As a conclusion, I still enjoy my day just like I enjoy it everyday.

Family gathering (07/26/2008)

2008-07-31T12:32:00.000-07:00

Hurmmmm, since I just joinned the company for few days, I really looking for something that I can do. Since I don't received my NT login to log on to my email, I can't do too much. My communication are also limited. So I am looking for something that I can do to keep me awake from sleep. Hehehehe.

Okay, this is my third blog today as the other two has been published just seconds ago.

Just a day after my farewell @ Mizi Bistro, I went to Perak for a family reunion. Went with two cars since my parents aren't staying, I went into my parents car and come back with my brother.

There is a different feeling this year compared to last year as lesser peoples attended the reunion.

Farewell with AMD folks

2008-07-31T12:11:00.000-07:00

I don't have so much idea to blog lately. Although I have plenty of time to do so during my holiday for two weeks, but I just too lazy to think.

But one thing just came into mind is regarding my farewell with the AMD folks + x-AMDers.

Since the team separated to two group, one the pro and the other one the anti, and since I fall in the anti-boss group, I only invite those who are realy against him. So that we have the very same topic to talk when we met.

The dinner was held at Mizi Bistro @ New World Park. I used to eat Salmon Teriyaki in one of the restaurant @ Prangin, and since one of my friend ordered the Teriyaki Chicken, I just realize that the decoration and serving style between these two restaurant are similar. So I just get to know that they belong to same management.

As usual, since the anti-boss gathered together, we don't have other topic to talk about, but we only talked about him all over the night as we stay.

Attached are the group photo of the night:

Lunch (07/31/2008)

2008-07-31T10:23:00.000-07:00

Well today, I had a lunch with my friend, a lecturer in UiTM. She has been inviting me few times in the past two weeks.

We planned our first lunch together last week's Tuesday, but due to sum issue where we don't booked a place there, we won't be able to have it walk-in. Since then, instead of having lunch in the Hotel, we ended up having lunch in the cafeteria.

With her advice of which stall to go, I've tried the 'Mee Jawa', just like wut she advice as she had it before. Well, she is right about the taste. Way better than my college. How lucky the students to have such a nice lunch and dinner. And for my friend, she wanted to try the Thai food. So she ordered 'Nasi Paprik' and 'Tom yam soup'. Well taste though.

Since I had plenty of time to spend with her that week as I am so free from work for two weeks, I followed her to the office to settle sum of her stuffs and get a free tour. Hehehe.. Thx..

After we separated, we still planning for another lunch as she is so keen to have it in the hotel as her students are serving on Tuesday and Thursday. So we look up our calendar for available date as I am reporting to work this week.

Primarily, we planned to have it on last Tuesday but since I need to work nite on my first week for working, we need to postponed it to the other week, same day. She is asking me to find for vacant for the lunch since one of our friend there are not free on that particular day. So I have decided to invite my friends from the office to join the lunch as he is only free from fasting on Tuesday.

But two days ago, she sms me to ask if I am free on Thursday because she wanted to treat two of her students a lunch since they score in the essay given.

To start the story about our appointment, I am late to the place as I worked night and I went back quite late that morning. But luckily they had just started when I arrived. I am not sure if they had just started or they waited for me to reach. But by the time I reached the place, they don't even started with the appertizer. Well, perhaps, they have the rule to served those table that is fully vacant.

The starter starts with prawn salad, I guess. The taste are good. Then we move to the prawn soup. The main course are two for the day, beef and chicken. One disappointment from the main course, the food are good in terms of taste, but since the students need to do all the serving and the kitchen closed at 1.30pm as they need to attend classes, the food served are cold.

As I came late for lunch, my friend late for her class at Perda while the other two students are also late for their lecture that supposed to start at 2pm. So we rush back right after the lunch, and I went back straight to the company to clear off thing that had been postponed for few days.

Since I came to the office straight after the lunch, I would say that I only had 3 hours sleep and I need to come back to work at 10pm.

Cousin's Wedding (05/31/2008)

2008-06-01T19:22:00.001-07:00

Well, it is school holiday season. As expected there will be a lot of wedding invitation during this period. My cousin, the one live in Lumut, Perak are one of them. Received his news to get engaged was a big suprised. Not to mentioned about his wedding of course.

He is the one to break the chain of babies born in 1985 in our families. So now only left 3 of us, but all are not available. We never thought that he is getting married so soon as he is so quiet among his siblings, but who knows, he break the chain among his 7 siblings.

Let's now story about the 'hantaran'. For Malay, it is our tradition to have 'hantaran' on wedding day. Normally will show off the 'hantaran' during 'akad nikah'. The bride will need to give more compare to the guy. But if you guys ask me the reason, you will get the negative answer cuz the truth is I don't know why bride need to reply more to the guy.

The most irritating part is, when people keep asking us when to get married as the groom is actually quite young since he still have one more big brother which is older than him by 2 years. So he kinda 'langkah' all the older cousin. Hurmmmm, let's how many. Around 5 to 6 person who definitely older than him. But we can't say much. Malay says, it is jodoh laa.

New job (I hate my boss)

2008-03-02T19:32:00.000-08:00

I am currently under Purchasing Dept. A newly global dept. I have been here for about 9 months.
Recently, I got an offer from a friend in Tax Dept since I simply asked her to hire me. So I just send her my updated resume and hopefully I got the position because I have no heart to continue working with those arrogant peoples who think that they are so damn great.
As for today, I already find out about the internal transfer, and hopefully I will have the chance to transfer myself to a new evironment with a hope to motivate myself.

I hate my current boss. Well yes, it is so obvious that I hate him so much. I don't even want to see his face. He thinks he knows everything about anything. Seems like he is the super-genius in the dept. Seems like he is the only one can handle things in the most profesional way. But he never realised that he is the most idiot man I've ever met. After the incident where I yelled at him, he would never talked to me again unless if it is necessary. He thinks that I will die without him talking to me, but I don't realy care about it. The only thing in my mind now is to come to work on time and got back home on time as the company won't pay u extra if u work hard and u won't get anything in return if u die for the company though.

As for his beloved adopted son that currently work in this dept, he thinks he is so great and praising the boss like a God. He is calling everyone blur like he is the one that is so great and fantastic in the dept. Well, okay. If you are so great and fantastic, I am assuming that u can handle thing on your own without anyone's help.
Okay2, let's see if you ever ask my favour again. And I know exactly the answer. I will make it clear and simple.

AMD HP Limited Edition Thumbdrive

2008-01-17T14:40:00.000-08:00

Few days ago I just bought a new thumbdrive for myself. Well, I am thinking to buy a Sandisk thumbdrive, but while surveying around, something captured my attention. It is a limited edition AMD HP thumbdrive featuring the Bee Movie. I knew it has been a free gift for those who bought HP tabletop laptop with AMD Turion Processor, but I never thought that they will actually sell them off. But since it is a limited edition with AMD logo, without hesitate I bought the thumbdrive instead of Sandisk.
Hahahaha. Worth to buy though.

I got a chance to visit Lowyat last Saturday to observe some laptops.
Since I worked in AMD, so I know that we launched our new product last few months. That makes me so curious to see our new product in market. While observing the shops, I took their pamplet to see if they do have the product called Phenom.

There is a few shop displaying AMD sign, so called supporting the product. And finally I get to see the real Phenom.

best fren yet best enemy

2007-11-12T07:58:00.001-08:00

Wonder y I put the title as above.
Hurmmm, sumtimes I am wondering if my best fren is really a gud fren to me.
But u can't judge a person by their kindness to said that they are a gud person and might be a gud fren to u as well.
That's wut happened to me. Not really a gud fren, but I call her as a gud fren in the company. But just recently I get to know that she is making fool on me behind me. Mayb in front of her gud frens.

They do acted nicely in front of you, try to be your ears and listen to your problem and everything. But watch-out with their mouth behind you. They might talk of your problem as one of the funny topic and making fooled on you.
After wut happened to me recently, I would be more careful in finding a fren to share my happiness and sadness.

So far, I only trusted 3 persons in my whole life. And they are a really gud listener and a gud motivator too.
