April 2008


The reason I haven’t been posting is the same old lame excuse; BUSY. But I really am!

I’m not in the mood to compose this entry in a nice sentences, so here’s what I’ve been up to for the past 1 week.


1. Last Wednesday I went for surgery to take my last wisdom tooth out. In other words, the dental surgeon slitted the side of my gum, and remove the tooth from the side. Sounds gore but to be frank, I’m not that scared because this is my second time. The lower jaw is always the problem. I’m blessed (trying to see it from positive view here) with small jaw and big teeth. So the tooth having problem coming out because lack of ’space’. And to make it worse, I’m now with braces and all the teeth are being pushed to the back. In x-ray that poor tooth looked senget already. Haih.

My first surgery was on the lower left (now lower right), I was still in Uni, and I got 1 week medical leave, which I think unncessary because the pain only last for 3-4 hours, and can be soothed just by eating ice-cream. One week leave from class, and my roommate Iris, she didn’t go to class as well. She said that she wanted to take care of me. But we stayed in our room playing Hoyle instead, hehe. What a bliss.

This time I got 3 days MC which conjoined with the weekend, and I spent my days sewing. Okay this one also needs to be updated as well, of what I was sewing.

I still have stitches in my gums. Boo hoo! :)


2. On Saturday I went for my first meet up with the NNC ladies, the NeedlesNCraft yahoogroup that I joined. It’s suppose to be a stitching bee, where everyone sit and stitch and yamcha and chit chat. I brought my cross-stitch project there, but I only touched it for merely 10 minutes. The rest was spend learning crochet from one of the expert member. I will show you what I’m crocheting in another entry! (Janji manis)


3. Am so so busy at work, due to 3 days MC I took for item #1, and tomorrow I’ll be leaving the country for another craft shopping trip (not that far, but not Singapore :P). Since I’ll be taking 6 days leave, I had to cramp 9 days work in 3 days.


4. I was in the process of switching server, so I was trying not to make new entries (especially with pictures) because my latest backup was dated on 14th April 2008. Right now, you’re actually viewing this blog on my spanking new server at Godaddy.com. So, who’s yer daddy??


Not sure if I will write new entry in this coming 24 hours before my departure. But I hope everyone will have great days ahead, not too late to wish Happy Earth Day to those who actually have feelings towards mother earth and doing something to preserve it.

Bubbye!

My cousin has a small newly setup network consultation company. She’s very new in this and sometimes she complained of difficulties to track her staff performance and project progress. I just recommended her Journyx Timesheet™, a software for timesheet and management of expense for her business. This software is definitely for her because it’s much more than timesheet, she will be able to manage payroll, invoice, Online Time and Expense and of course her networking projects. She was ecstatically happy with my recommendation! Because the best part of this software, she doesn’t have to pay a penny. It’s FREE for 10 users!

1. “Bila nak kahwin?(When are you getting married?)”
And live a boring life like you? Pastu bila dah kahwin baru terhegeh² nak enjoy life. Disclaimer: This does not apply to those already enjoyed life and have been through it all of ups and downs before thinking of getting hitched. I call that; ready. I think even after I had married I can’t escape from these nosy people, which will come up with new question. “Bila planning nak ada baby?” If you’re like this people you better stop that. These kind of people are so annoying I always wish them dead. Senang sikit, tak semak aku nak pergi kerja.

2. Asal mana? Or Kampung mana? (Where are you from? / Where is your hometown?)
I hate this question because I don’t know how to answer. Should it be place of where I was born? Or I where grew up?
I was born in Kelantan (dad was posted there), then grew up in this order; Terengganu, United States, Perak, Penang, Johor (3 different districts, Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru & Muar) then KL, try to say that in one breath.
Or should it be the place where my parents live? My parents live in KL for 2 weeks then Kuantan the next week and KL again then Kuantan again bla bla bla bla. And I don’t have any relatives in Kuantan for that matter. I was born a nomad and proud of it.

3. Gigi you ok je, kenapa pakai braces? (Your teeth were fine, why makes you wear braces?)
Haven’t you heard? There’s no word called ‘perfect’in women’s dictionary. Try forbid girls with naturally pink lips from wearing lipstick, will they listen to you? And by the way, I’m teeth fetist. So I want a perfect one myself.

I’m tagging anyone who love to continue. I bet everyone has their own FAAQs!

For my ghetto food, I have ‘happy meal’, and I have ‘happy beverages’. I’ll tell you about my ‘happy meal’ in another entry. But for now, drinks that makes me happy. Just like the name sounds, these drinks is ghetto enough you don’t need whatchamacallit concoctions, and easy to prepare.

1. Milk + Orange Juice.
Milk + Sunkist orange juice to be exact (this is not a paid entry, and P**l Fr*sh is not good enough for this). Reason being, Sunkist has a lot more sacs than the one I just mentioned. Just mix 1 part of milk with 3 parts of orange juice. Yummy with the big Y. If I’m in the mood, I blend these together with ice cubes. But I’m too lazy to wash the blender anyway.

2. Milk + Honey.
Just like the saying goes, life is like milk and honey, these 2 items really live up to their names. My way of drinking; sit in front of TV watching craps or movie, with a glass of milk, a bottle of honey and a teaspoon. Sip a bit of milk, and sip a bit of honey, sip some more milk, sip some more honey. Tskk.. Writing this makes me drool.

Try ‘em!

I can’t live without internet. Internet serves more than medium of keeping in touch with friends, communication, income, shopping and knowledge sharing (just to name a few).

Another thing that I always look for is product review. I will definitely look up for product review before I buy something. Even if I don’t feel like buying, product review is the best place to know about a particular product specification, condition, effectiveness and rating.

With review from www.productreview.com.au, you will have better judgment before you spend your cash on something. Reviews were made by a consumer like you. And you can register to leave review as well.

It’s so easy to look for item in www.productreview.com.au, you can use the search tool or look within a category.

Don’t go wrong, go www.productreview.com.au

I know I’m stubborn, you don’t have to tell me that. I choose this way because I don’t want to be meek and shallow like you. I don’t know how some people can ask me to forgive them on something that I can’t forgive. Why did you do it in the first place? The dumbest answer I ever heard is “because I was born this way” or “it’s fated”. Tak ke nak meletup aku dengar tu?

You know how FATE works or not? FATE is the thing you can mention after you’ve done your best, after you put up your effort. If you purposely let your kid plays on the street, the he got run over by a car, do you call that FATE? I call it stupidity.

“BORN THIS WAY” for me only applies for physical. Like, my left leg is shorter than the right one because I was born this way. There’s no such thing as I’m stupid/meek because I was born this way. Bodoh boleh belajar, and you’re feeble because you chose THAT way. These kind of people should be sent away to other place far far away, senang aku gi kerja sebab tak semak sangat kat sini.

As far as I know, I’m not obliged to forgive. It’s my option. If forgive is good, tell me why do we need police? And why do we need prison?

Debbie the marvelous crafter tagged me with this game where we need to add link to the link chain. Kinda interesting because we might not know it will end up, and with whom.

This is another of those Linky Love games where you only have to tag 10 person in one post but still there is no actual limit (you can tag more if you want!). Once tagged, you have to copy paste the link in this post, and make them grow!

Do not delete any of the links and be honest to yourself!

I’d like to pass the PINK heart to the following; please extend this chain :)

Lucy, Tinn, Julia, Zaza, Noha, Xumb, dD and Ira (only 8 and in random order, I just type whoever I just read their blog today).

Here’s what I compiled myself.

1. If you encountered a moron in the morning, you’ll encounter many of them the rest of the day. Moron in this context includes people changing lane without giving signals, people going wrong way on one way street, people driving slow (while puffing cigarattes or talking to the phone) on the fast lane.

2. If the junction is normally attended by a traffic police, once they replace the police manning the junction with somebody new, expect massive traffic disorder.

3. Going out 15 minutes early does not mean you’ll arrive at the office 15 minutes earlier.

4. You can stuck in a traffic jam even if you’re 5 meters from your office gate.

5. When you’re stuck in traffic jam, right after you past a petrol pump, then only your bladder gives signal that it needs to be cleared (this is what I hate most).

6. A supposedly empty car park in front of the shop you’re going, is occupied by a motor kapcai, proudly stands there.

7. The shortest distance in between point A and point B always have construction work, while the longer distance but smoother traffic have toll booth.

I think it is about time we move on from conventional plastic bag to something that is more environmentally friendly. We’ve been listening to various mother earth’s warning such as world increasing temperature, increasing sea level and animals extinction.

Besides recycling the garbage, another thing you can do to save the earth is to switch from conventional plastic bags to reusable grocery bags whenever you’re out for your weekend grocery shopping.

For this, you need a sturdy bag which would last long, since you’re going to use it ever so frequent. cozyhomewares.com retails many type of reusable grocery bags with stylish colors and design to suit your taste. You can choose from cotton canvas, and if you want to go for colors, I would recommend the sweet looking cotton mesh bags that come in earth tones.

I’m planning to do some backup and migration to my hosting. Actually this is my second attempt. I wasn’t fully prepared during the first time. You should be expecting some downtime from this blog. Maybe for few days. I hope it took shorter than that. Wish me luck. Til then.

Everyone is trying to make the best from their savings these days. The aim is to invest for something that would give a big return.

- I want mind control. Not to control my mind. But others. Ngeee.

2. Which superhero/character that influenced you?
- None.

3. Why?
-Told you I want to be like Barbie.

4. What is your weakness?

5. What is your superhero name?
- Barbiriena (now that sounds like a lamb).

6. And your superhero motto is…?
- Get a rich and handsome Ken to marry me and make lots of bunnies.
