Life is Learn

God has given me tremendous obstacles in going through this life,
I should not be asking why,
I should be wondering what have I done wrong to deserve it.
I cracked my head thinking, hoping for miracles to happen
but sometimes it does not turn out like how it should be
I thought I would fall apart,
I thought my tears will never stop,
unconsciously my inner strength held me all the way,
It didn't let me sway.

God has all the reasons to put me through this,
Who am I to judge Him,
I'm just a slave,
Got to be strong and ready at all times,
I watched myself evolve from the weak-me to the strong-me
But yet at times I failed
Failed to prove to myself that I'm better, stronger
I must not try, I must do it
Life is not trying, making the same mistakes over and over again
Life is about making mistakes and learn from it!

FAQ: How was the INTERVIEW?

It went well. It was a long day for all of us coz we had to wait for 2 hours for our turn to be interviewed. The Attorney General, Tan Sri Gani Patail together with other Head of Division in AG's Chambers interviewed us but Tan Sri did most of the talking and questioning. We heard so many scary-mary stories about being interviewed by Tan Sri. One thing for sure, you must be ready with a right, precise and exact answer. After being interviewed, I would say that it's not that terrifying as I thought it would be. He was not stiff, rigid. He was like in a good mood. Nevertheless, that didn't stop us from being cuak just minutes before entering the meeting room. I would like to share some funny conversation that I could recall during the interview with the AG. Please note, it might not be the same exact sentence ya but the gist is there.

Tan Sri: So, what does your father do?
Interviewee: He’s a farmer Tan Sri. He rears goats and cows.
Tan Sri: Oh, you mean cattles?
Interviewee: Yes, Tan Sri.
Tan Sri: So, how many goats does he have other than you?
Interviewee: 1000 goats Tan Sri.
************************************************
Tan Sri: So do you know how to rear goats?
Interviewee: Yes, I always help my father at the farm during the semester break.
Tan Sri: If I were to send you far from your farm, is it okay for you to be separated with your goats?
Interviewee: It’s okay, I can still go back during the weekends.
************************************************
Tan Sri: So, what work did you do previously?
Interviewee: I was a salesman for developer.
Tan Sri: How much was your salary?
Interviewee: Taking in around $3500
Tan Sri: Well, do you know that if you join as L41 you will be getting only $2900
Interviewee: It’s okay. My wife is working.
**************************************************
Tan Sri: I think you got your facts wrong.
Interviewee: I’m sorry Tan Sri. I’m here to be corrected.
Tan Sri: That’s why you should not answer if you do not know.
Interviewee: I’m sorry Tan Sri. People make mistakes.
Tan Sri: So if I take you as DPP you will make mistakes and mistakes and mistakes until you retire. Is that okay?
Interviewee: Yes, it’s okay Tan Sri.
****************************************************
Tan Sri: What do you intend to do?
Interviewee: I want to be a Public Prosecutor Tan Sri.
Tan Sri: Ok, then you will have to wait until I retire.
Interviewee: Sorry, I want to be a Prosecuting Officer.
Tan Sri: What? Then you should have become a police officer.
*********************************************************
Tan Sri: If I were to send you to Middle Rock, would you go?
Interviewee: Yes Tan Sri, I would.
Tan Sri: Do you know where Middle Rock is? Its the two rocks beside Pulau Batu Puteh. You cannot even erect a building! You should have answered I cannot work there because there is no office at Middle Rock.
Interviewee: I will go wherever you send me Tan Sri.
**************************************************************
Tan Sri: What do you want to be?
Interviewee: I want to be a DPP. I ‘m very good in Criminal Trial&Advocacy.
Tan Sri: What did yo get for the subject?
Interviewee: A-
Tan Sri: That’s not that good isn’t it?
Interviewee: Yes, I believe so Tan Sri. But I will do whatever it takes to be a DPP Tan Sri
Tan Sri: Now you’re scaring me!

'The AKAD NIKAH Dress'

After watching The Incredible Hulk movie, I shoot to Ampang Point to send Helms kain baju melayu for the Akad Nikah ceremony. I have sent mine earlier so I went there also for fitting my dress. I was really excited to try it but at the same time scared..if it'll make me look FAT since it's white. Plus, I've gained weight this past few weeks. Anyway, for some of you who's planning to do baju kahwin or even baju raya please visit this boutique at Ampang Point, Citra by Iszal. He's a really good designer, he did a good job on the beading. I was really impressed! It's a bit pricey though but for you people who does not mind paying for beautiful beadings I can assure you he's superb at it. So what did he do to my dress to make it look beautiful? He put a three layer at my dress just to make it 'terletak' on the body, they call it as well as more fitting to the body. Three layer means the dress is layered with satin and then with chiffon. Oh yeah, any enquiry please put it at my comment column k. So, check it out The Akad Nikah Dress!


Ermm..how do I look my dearest friends? Helms called me "princess" right after he saw me! Hihi perasan kejap... ;p

My Mid-Year Resolution!

Dearest friends, in order to look good on my big day I have decided to have start on my mid-year resolution which is...To keep fit! Just want to share a few tips with you people out there who has the intention to do the same;) Yes, I know who you are..Haha.

1. GO TO THE LOO regularly!
Why? To flush all the toxic waste in our body. Accumulated toxins are one of the reasons for ineffective weight loss.

2. NEVER EAT while watching TV or reading!
Cause overeating. Err, is eating while watching movie included?...I love popcorn!

3. NO SUPPER after 8pm!
If you're really hungry, get a glass of milk or fruits. Ok, ok supper at Hartamas every weekend would be an exception. Yeay!

4. DON'T OVEREAT when you're stress or depressed!
Have you seen Kung Fu Panda, Po the Panda loves to eat when he is sad. Look what has turned him into - a big fat cute Panda with bulging tummies!

5. DON'T STARVE yourself!
I know I can't. I'll be like a Zombie!

6. Lots of PLAIN WATER!
Even if you're drinking at mamak or any restaurant-to reduce calories and sugar intakes.

7. EXERCISE!
Even if you're a lazy bum or have no time to do exercise like me:), try doing at least bits of it. Like park your car a bit far from the shopping mall entrance, use the stairs instead of lift (only if it's 5-storey building!), walk instead of drive for short distances (with the fuel price hike, we seriously should consider walking now!)

8. EAT HEALTHILY!
NO fried foods. Please let me eat chicken crispers...!Steamed or boiled foods are GOOD. I know, Yucks:(

The Continuation..

What makes a good friend? Let’s make a list:

# Anyone who is not judgmental but will tell you the truth about you and your actions.

# Someone who does not compete with you unfairly.

# Anyone who is thrilled when things go brilliantly for you.

# A person who cheers you up when things look down.

# Someone who defends you bravely when people are vicious.

# Someone who is there to boost your morale and motivate you when you have failed.

# Anyone who will laugh with you, cry with you, and act silly, when the situation requires it.

# Someone who befriends you irrespective of who you are or where you come from.

Good and lasting friendships are always a blessing. Some friendships formed at school last a lifetime. Some people have friends but as they grow older, they change, their interests change and they move on and make other friends. Some friendships formed during your uni life or towards the end of your uni life and you find it it as good as the other friendships. This is because friendships cannot be measured from the duration but the quality of the friendship.

People say that when you grow older, like-minded people come into your life and friends who envied your success will move away. It is also a fact that you will eventually outgrow some of your friends.

Real friendship is like this. Time is of no essence. You can meet after four decades and it makes no difference to the joy and comradeship that you feel. The only issue would be trying to catch up with details about what you’ve been doing with your lives.

There is a pattern to every friendship: we hope that it will endure over time and distance, mistakes and misunderstandings.

What really is a TRUE FRIEND? As cliche as it may sound, we can never run away from a friendship. We may have thousands of friends in this world but who really are your true friends.

“Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, and sometimes they lean on you. Sometimes it’s just enough to know that they are standing by.” – Anonymous

The answer everyone is looking for depends on their experiences in life in going through a friendship. To me it is..the people who stand by you, cheer you up when everything goes down. I have had 25 years of experience being in and out of a friendship. I may not have the best skills in PR, I may not have the most good friends in the world but I know bits about friendship. Let me share that bits of thoughts of mine with you. There are many types of friends in this world you can get. Friends who are opportunist; who comes and say hello to you when you're fun to be with and say bye when you're in deep shit. Friends who are happy to stick a dagger at your back. Friend who envy and does not acknowledge your success. Friends that will make friends with people of his kind. Friends who will stick with you in good and bad times. Friends who will never let you down. Friends who will stand by you when the whole world is against you. So what type of friend are you? Think about it ya. To be continued..

Isetan Sale! 24th May onwards..

Peeps! Isetan KLCC is having a SALE! Pls do go, as there are some good offers. Me and my mama went for the members pre-sale day yesterday, it was like hurricane in the store. Ramai gile orang ok. It’s like the stuffs are sold at RM1! They must have waited for the Isetan Sale for a long time enough for them to kumpul duit. Surprisingly, there was no item that caught my eyes. Maybe because my presence over there was not to shop (hey, did I really mean that? Yeah!) It was merely to accompany my mom who wants to buy her Estee Lauder cosmetics. While waiting for my mom to decide on which product she wants to buy (I thought she already have something in mind!) I decided to check out Dior handbags for my hantaran. The salesgirl was so nice she let me try all the handbags. Hehe. Honestly speaking, there was no one handbag that I like. Besides all the handbags are in big sizes, I need something that is small so can fit the dulang hantaran. Talking about handbag, the other day I went to LV boutique. There were so many Chinese, I assume they are all tourists. They were buying LV handbags as if there is Sale! Berebut-rebut ok. I was like, “Are you kidding me?!” I’m here trying to buy for the hantaran and here they are buying the handbags like beli roti. Huhu. Due to so many people in the boutique, even the boutique representative didn’t bother to entertain me. I got fed up waiting so I just walked out. I intend to go back to LV, to check out Helms hantaran but I’ll first make sure that the boutique is not full with people. One thing that I notice is that, the LV boutique reps are mostly good looking Malay men while the Gucci boutique reps are mostly Chinese men+ladies.

Anyway, back to the main story I just bought myself a dress at Isetan. We went to the supermarket, ya ampun ramai gile orang! Then my mama saw so many people buying this Japanese cracker oat (the best way to promote a product = everyone have it in their trolley!), she wanted to buy it and I said No! The queue was so damn long. She insisted on buying it so I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, just queue la Dini...We were so hungry as we didn’t have our lunch yet so I suggested to my mama that we should try The Apartment’s food. The ambience was really like being at home since the motto is ‘Let us take you home’. The service was lousy. Can you believe it they did not take our order, we waited for so long. “There was a miscommunication”, that was what they said. I was already hungry and grumpy and that really pissed me off. So we complained to the manager. We didn’t bother to order the second time as my mama had another plan so we just had a drink over there. But I must say the freshly squeezed mango juice was nice so maybe I’ll just come back next time for their mango juice!
