phew!

phew! after 3 days of training, loads of anticipation, finally... i could say that we were welcomed to the company.

i know i should be doing some research instead of blogging right now, but i guess i can spare a couple of minutes! i've neglected the internet too.

lets see a quick recap, monday - was nervous although i was only attending a training school, yeah you see, the thing is we could not assume or guess whats coming! hehe... so yeah, anxiety kicks in every 20-30 minutes... chronic kan? yeah i guess its just me.

we had a group lunch with the rest of our peers, guided by our supervisors as in the assistant manager, from different groups... some covering the APAC and the other covering the Middle East, but its pretty cool to hear their success story.

i took the monorail back home to avoid the jam, well at least half of the jam... when i was picked by hubs at the central station we were stuck for only 15 minutes so thats not too bad, if you ask me comparing it to the kl jam! thats pure madness.

but by the time i got home i felt like a zombie. totally blur, and i just wanted to shower, lie down and watch tv, but my stomach was hungry so i decided to follow hubs to o.u. and so i did, pretty quiet, walked around wanting to look for kittens and some working clothes but i was in no mood... so i stayed and watched futsal for an hour or so... and we headed back home.

tuesday - was rather a taxing day for me, woke up in the morning... and got ready, all perked up and excited to go, todays training consisted more of the technical stuff... it was interesting! so we sat, noted down the information and asked loads of silly questions, but i guess its better looking and sounding silly infront of our seniors rather than our clients! :D

had lunch with our peers and seniors again, its one helluva journey... me likey. however, all of us left the office reminding each other to study for the test tomorrow, yes, ladies and gents we need to study in order to get confirmation that you're able to work there... :) and so i did when i got home, with my eyes half closed, i was just too tired. hmmphh... i need to get into the rhythm of being out of the house for more than 11 hours straight.

wednesday - this being the 3rd day, we knew we'd have to prepare ourselves for the big test, but the best thing is that the test was only during the later part of the day which was at 5 p.m. and we still had other sessions to cover and memorize! hihi luckily, our short-term memory was working on full-time, now what i personally have to do is to put it to good use under the long term memory, as this would be in my s.o.p.p!

anyhoo, i guess tomorrow will be the bigger test on everything else. wish me luck peepz!

don't dream its over!

as much as i hate to admit it, i haven't contributed much on the new house! yes i've been going back and forth to different shops trying to figure out what's the best combination, and what fits our budget and all... but other than that, the house is left empty, all alone on its own.

but today, its full on as indo-laborer! we'll be going over to the house soon to paint the, hmm.. lets see what can we paint today? what ever we can get our hands on!! haha, we're no professional indo painters!! we're just an ordinary cheap-skate laborers... woo hoo.

yesterday, we managed to identify some electronic goods that we wanted to get, however, when we passed this particular 'light' shop! my heart stopped! i was so into their lamps and wall lamps, and ermm... chandeliers (even though i hate chandeliers!) seriously it was be-oo-ti-fuul! but they were rather costly for 1! damn it. okay, note to self again... either you work hard or you can forget about it!

we left ss2 area and headed for bangsar, to buy some stuff... i did not want to go home to sleep as i am not trying to make that as a habit of having to sleep in the afternoon, cause now that won't be a lavish choice anymore! suggested to hubs to go around telawi area and look for a reflexology center! and yeay, we did... ermm.. place is called 'si-fu' don't be deceived by the name the interior is nothing on the ah-beng side. its purrty!

first you gotta soak your feet in the basin, and then they wipe the soap off *tickling you a bit, then the journey begins! ahhhh... seriously it felt so good, i was soo relieved! then it was ticklish again, i had to tell the masseuse to urut harder, hihi... yeah it hurts and all tapi gila ahh!! best best best... hubs was enjoying his massage too, hehe i wanted to treat him... but we can't do this every weekend, masak ahhh!! i rather do the full body massage, value for money.

badminton as usual, but today was extremely funny... the anticipation, the screaming, it was all exciting! so yeah totally enjoyable.

received a message from hani & dahl, and a couple of miss calls from her regarding dins decided yeah why not since we're not gonna lepak any other day... boohoo! work work work now... i'm so gonna miss you girls, seriously... but lets make time too yeah to meet up for dins or something! anyway, dins was pretty fun we had a whole lot of us there, andy and friends, hubs, bro, hadi and us crazy ass girls! *hani, dahl, and wo! can you imagine how crazy the conversations went? yeah from college, to work, to uni's doing masters, then it was about the ladies department stuff, some charity thing, someone going balding or wants to be bald! tampons, shaving, plucking! okay i think i've said enough... the rest you can go figure.

and yes, i have a personal message for my fellow bloggers, please don't stop blogging!! i would need to read up on every single thing that goes in and out of your life :) yes, miss kepohchi!! hehe... but but i don't want to feel left out... seriously. keep me posted yeah. so so so going to miss our chilli outings! love you guys, and thanks for being extremely supportive.

and dahl, its a new beginning for the both of us okay :) there's always a reason a good reason as to why things don't go the way we want to at first, but its the effort that gets us there... and it can always be pursued later!

don't dream its over, its a new beginning for all of us...

clean...

hmmpphh... my arms, legs and body hurts! "i felt like i lost 5kgs just by sweating, but i think in true fact maybe just 0.5kg before i drank the mineral water, like berbotol-botol of it...


we did a lot of scrubbing, washing, mopping today, but at least there's progress in the cleanliness of the house!


the house has been empty for the last 2-3 months, can you imagine the amount of dusts? nevermind the dusts, the cats around bandar utama assumed that they could use the lawn and some parts of the house as their litter box... it was driving me crazy! ewww, the aroma! eeeyuck! i almost *bluek-ed* in my own mouth, yeah as in puke a little in my mouth... hehe...


anyway that's done, its clean. yeay no more smelly-smello.


but i seriously have loads of questions for the past tenant! what in gods name are those thingssss that you left behind? how did you manage to live in the house with all those stains? or at least be considerate enough to leave the house in a liveable condition la! its your kind that makes the landlord gets all pissy with the next tenant, not that its happening to us... its me the next tenant who is pissed all together :)


yes, i usually like things getting done my way!! gila kuasa la katakan... what to do?


anyhoo, i just hope the rest of the things that we're going to purchase will be 'a' okay for the place, i need to make the house extremely cozy, and warm... not warm as in panas... but warm as in soothing la, don't tell me i have to explain that too... faham-faham la sendiri :P


but seriously? in 2 weeks to get the place up and running? oh-gosh, i really doubt it man... kerja GILA!


back to hard labor tomorrow... i need to get my rest now, tomorrow will be full mode on as a maid.

gotta be tough

yesterday we had lunch in megamall with amy and andrea, its been a while since we last met... for me and amy its been almost a year and andrea its been forever! so it was a great outing indeed. everyone was bitching about their jobs, the perks, the packages, the events, the dull tasks, the exciting ones and everything else that comes with it.

right after lunch we rushed to look at some new things for the house, its really crazy and there's just too many things to do! youza! as we were discussing and all, we saw the perfect combination for our curtain, or so we think its the perfect combo for the house. hehe. without having second thoughts and hesitation, we placed and order and it'll be completed within 2 weeks. wow, seriously this time round, i do feel like an adult shopping for the house. the house that we're moving into is completely bare naked! we just have to dress it up.

yeap today will be the day we clean the house up! its tiring, but i'm pretty excited. care to join me anyone? hehehe...

in the eve we decided to have coffee with malik in hartamas before he leaves for bali this weekend! how nice, i am sooo envying him right now!! damn it. i want to check out this place called ku-de-ta in bali, heard its awesome. okay back to the discussions we had, he was giving me a rough idea about my job, oh-oh now it sounds pretty challenging and challenging, oh wait i mentioned challenging twice... but then again when you think of it, which other job is not challenging right? right? right? i just have to be really sure. felt the nervous rush for a mo, and felt better after.

its going to be a great stepping stone.

hani dropped by with dins! we had mcdonalds and chit-chatted for a while... hoohaah here and there and before you know it we decided to meet hadi at devi's hartamas for a short while. we practically fumbled the whole night it was so hilarious we almost peed in our pants!
"oh yeah, bani if you're reading this, i wish you all the best for tomorrows interview! i hope you get it, so we'll be together just like when we were in college!!" teehee.

anyway just a little something-something for a great laugh: (no punt intended for anyone, and it is not a racist joke okay!)

A Chinese walks into a bar in America late one night
and he saw Steven Spielberg.
As he was a great fan of his movies,
he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph.

Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says,
"You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here."

The astonished Chinese man replied,
"It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour,
it was the Japanese".

"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says,
"You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."

The Chinese replies,
"Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

its a new beginning

i had so many things to do, but everything was in my head. yes its rather weird, you know you just have to do too many things but extremely limited time? yeah basically that was the issue, and now we have to move out real soon.

left our house and headed straight to the house that we're keen on renting, we met the owner, a nice chap not-so-old, he basically said if you want to move in right now you're able to do so... but i said the house is not in a living condition yet. so we'll wait. thanks for the offer anyway.

plus now, i'm panicking! i haven't started PACKING! and boy-oh-boy do i have loads of crap to pack. its the shaitzer! but i feel good about this new house, so i'm really looking forward to it. we just have to work extra hard, as labourers! to get everything done. ergh. another shaitzer.

but i know it'll be worth every effort, every drop of our sweat, every penny spent, every every... everything la ok! i'll be sad leaving the apartment, safety, facilities, but then again that can all be compensated when you're staying 5 minutes from one utama! hihi...

see how well i've tai-chi-ed the 'waiting game' issue, but now i'm back on it again. it was seriously driving me nuts! we had lunch, at the curve, a rather brief one... then we headed straight towards ikea. "it was like heaven... seems like heaven..." i wish i could just go in with a cart and pick what ever the hell i feel like, and not worry about a single cent! but TOUGH! haha... dream on woman.

it was every 5 minutes that i was checking my watch, and wondering to myself... hmm when am i going to receive the verdict! my stomach was churning! hubs told me to stop staring at my watch, i could not help it! then back to ikea, we were looking at the curtains and i saw one that i was just in love with!! ergh... okay shereen you can get these things when you work extra hard for it okay!! seriously, you need to get a grip of your self. yada-yada-yada!

by the time we got home it was almost 5, and as far as i could remember when i spoke to one of the supervisors he mentioned that their working hours is 830-530p.m. boy-o-boy! my clock is really ticking and i'm running out of time...

where's that phone call?!

i decided to let off some steam or lessen the stress level by watching zoolander, it cracks me up all the time... til the movie ended which was 530p.m. i thought that's it, it was the end of me. no calls, no replies from them what so ever! "oh no, i did not get the job!" was constantly tormenting me... but i was really confident i nailed it. all confused.

was browsing the net, and suddenly i got a call from an unregistered number, "could this be it?" the call that i've been waiting for?

indeed, it was!

my heart was racing, a couple of questions were asked, and it was answered... thank goodness, i made it! training starts on monday... :) a new adventure in my life begins. alhamdulillah.

its the waiting game

i finished the second interview in the afternoon just before 5, i was told that just wait for a call from us and you'll know it... yeah so i'm currently playing the waiting game *with all sorts of things going through my head, i kid you not* but i'm just going to wait and see what the verdict is. wish me luck peeps.

anyway aside from that, last night i was at padang @ one utama watching hubs play futsal, and hang out with friends. i got loads of queries, about my absence! hihi... it was pretty funny. i think its normal for people to do things out of the norm, not hanging out with each other once in a while is not a cardinal sin, nor its seen as life threathening...

i like the feeling of missing my companions, get what i mean?!

it is not that easy to adapt our timing to others, we may be the married couple that seems like we do not have much family obligations and all, but hey, guess what??! [we do] have other responsibilities, other tasks, obligations, errands, all together.

okay i think that's enough, enough of rambling early in the morning.

i just tried out this application on facebook, picture personality! its amazing how these little things seems to amuse me :)

it states that:-
temperement: cosmopolitan
interests: fashionable
amusement: adventurous
passion: physical

and this is diagnosed based on the questions they ask, and the pictures you pick! haha... sssiiillly billlyyyy.

pissed!

did i ever tell you that i

HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE

ants!

they are constantly irritating and dictating my life.

and they seem to want to have a taste of every single food we cook and buy!

see the thing is they want to have, share, eat, live in the same house but only for free!!

freaking jerks!

procrastinating doesn't help!

i hope today my stomach would not give me any problems. in fact i demand that it doesn't!! okay la, i could be in control in certain situation, this is not one of them... damn it.

yes in case you missed the last entry, i had such an evil food poisoning, however, that did not stop me from playing badminton yesterday! woohoo... i was happy at least i managed to release some stress...

i've been rather bored, and unproductive so yeah yesterday even though i only managed to play 3 games, in agony, i still enjoyed it.

and today, actually by right, now... i'm suppose to be studying some technical terms for sales and marketing but what am i doing? i'm blogging instead. he he he. and yet before every exams/tests/interviews i tell my self that i have to prep my self wayyyy before the actual thing!! and then later i do, what i do best just before the interview - i panic! silly aye?

i better stop yacking and start reading!

oh yeah, i am hoping and hoping and hoping that we'll be able to go somewhere by end of the year! ergh. seriously... wishing and hoping and wanting and ermm.. whatever word that fits the scenario! in a sweet neater version, i just want to go for a god-damn holiday!!

recovering

thursday night after the whole days event we decided to eat dins at chef & brew, and little did i know i was going to suffer the worse food poisoning EVER!

we usually order the spaghetti, so i thought... yeah why not since its 9 p.m. and i didn't want to order anything else. well pasta is light and yeah healthier... so i ordered the tom yam spaghetti - well little did i know it was going to cause the most excruciating pain in my god-damn-stomach!

woke up at 1 a.m. my tummy felt funny, thought it was just one of those things that will pass you by in no time. so yeah, it happened... but after half an hour i could no longer hold it in me... i ran to the toilet to puke my lungssss out! oh my goodness, it was hurting so bad that i just wanted to sleep next to the toilet bowl.

ergh. well the vicious cycle continued from 1-5 and then that was the final draw, i just told hubs i give up... i'm not going to get better and let my body do the natural progress of healing, i felt like i was dying! i was dehydrated and tired. damn the spaghetti!!

he took me to the hospital, damansara specialist and it was closed. then we made our way to the taman tun 24 hours clinic next to mohsin and thank goodness the doctor was in, however i did leave my trademark there too, if you know what i mean... sorry i don't usually like littering around but with this i could not help it.

anyhoo, the doc only gave me tablets for stomach pain, something to stop the vomitting, and something for the diarrhoea and nothing for the fever, great!

by the time we left the clinic my fever was catching up. go figure. the weekend was pretty much spent in bed for me. feeling helpless and extremely sucky! i've never had so much sleep in my life like i did over friday!! sheesh. anyway, thank god i'm recovering now...

appetite has decided to go away when i got the food poisoning so, yeah these past few meals has been in small bites and small doses as i feel kind of fragile with food at the time being.

so far i do not have the urge to go back to chef & brew for any meal what so ever!!

happy!

happy 9 years anni love!

i need not to elaborate my love for you... think its been said for the last 9 years?

*kisses*

your crazy.adorable.crazy.psychotic.loving.wife!

it happened...

after having too much time to think. i had a heart ache.

i felt so emotional.

soon, there will be no more routines.

i was afraid i was going to be distant.

i know there will be changes, which i will have to adapt to.

most importantly... not able to spend my precious moments with hubs (*you may think i'm dramatic, but this time round, i'm pretty serious about it...)

and then before i know it, i broke down.

yes, i do have emotions, and i do show them... i know people say its weak to admit these things, but to me, it makes you human...

you feel, you have emotions, you are able to express...

i just pray that everything will be okay...

i swear i had butterflies!

oh oh... seriously having a migrane the whole day just spoils your plans all-together!

anyway, today we managed to speak to a couple of realtors and managed to fix an appointment to view a house today at jalan gasing. she suggested to meet up at 1, yes she suggested 1 p.m. i don't know what went through her head when she was asking to meet up at that hour!

anyway we managed to get there on time, she was about 30 minutes late... i told hubs her name was phoebe, cause when i spoke to her that was what she told me. when she handed us her business card, only then i learned that her name was C.B! haha... WAY OFF.

as we walked in, oh-good-lord! please help me god, let there be other houses for us to rent. the place was such a dump! they made weird decisions on the house, why oh why do they have such bad taste? these people should be sued!

lets start with the entrance, they had the roman columns, not that i mind those but the borders of it was painted in GOLD! crazy man, that's like some mak datin/puan sri's taste in houses. okay that's a bad sign. the realtor was trying to convince us the house was such a great bargain. i looked at her with disgust, but okay i managed to hold it together. i kept quiet.

we walked in... and saw they made a weird extension on the porch area, and converted it into a living hall, with 3 beams placed in it! i swear it looked so weird. it was just so wrong. the rooms were rather TINY, i felt claustrophobic suddenly... only to realize that yesterday! damn... i know i'm being extremely bitchy about it, but help me god!! seriously.... that was just wayyy offf!!

we waited for her for half and hour and we were done with the house within 10 minutes. see what i mean...

it wasn't helpful that i had a really bad migrane while viewing the house, right after that, i sent hubs to work and made my way to do some grocery shopping, yeah theraphy session for me... bought some fruits, looked at some fattening foody but i decided, no... i should not indulge as we still have those raya cookies stacked up.

got home, and cooked.

while cooking i received a call from one of the potential companies that i had applied to, he asked me a couple of questions, i answered, then i asked, and he decided that i get interviewed today! i was kind of excited about it, i did a little dance on my own... no one to share it for that moment, but i was still happy anyway. yeay.

i don't know what i got excited about, after sitting down and analyzing. holy cow! i have to prepare for the interview and i was having a bad massive migrane, but that didn't stop me from playing scrabulous while doing some research! hehe... yeah i had to entertain myself okay, seriously!!

i'm just hoping that the interview session was alright and that i'd hear something soon from them. well i should be hearing something soon, i was asked to call to answer another question tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. it was a challenge, during the interview session. oh well, wish me luck!

Edward Kennedy:
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.

today...

i was excited this morning when i had to send in my resumes, but then again i don't know why i'm getting excited for! it's not like i'm going to get hired next week.

hehe, told my self not to get my hopes up high. just chill and take it one day at a time.

then i got excited again, cause i saw some progress on my little project... then again i questioned myself, why should i get excited when its just the planning stage? things could go wrong, oh so wrong... but that's not going to stop my determination.

i was browsing through the internet for some samples on business proposal, the ones related to mine. i found some, but its extremely extensive! so i guess i just have to work backwards, and lessen the stages. oh-well!

***

i was pretty determined to work out today, so i picked hubs up from the office and we headed to the curve, had a quick bite and he was off to another meeting.

so i decided to just go to borders and browse around for some books! yes, indeed i'm in need of books for referencing! dang. i thought i was going to be bored out of my mind sitting and going through these books, but believe it or not i was there for 2 hours! i was so happy! my dad would have been proud of me...

met hubs after 2 hours and he was done with the meeting too... so we chatted for a while at starbucks and then made our way back home.

(i was still kind of excited... there is a little progress...)

got home and cooked dins, finally after a week of not cooking!! hehe... yes i have been rather busy, not lazy ok?!! busy applying for work and multi-tasking la if you're wondering, in between reading articles, i check on facebook and then play a little scrabulous and worry bout college documents, and then... ermm... back to facebook to change the featured bags, take the 10seconds interview, and back to scrabulous. see told you i was busy!!

now i'm sleepy. okay til the next entry.
