A Mug Of Coffee

Usually people would say a cup of coffee, but me, of course a cup wouldn't do my big appetite a justice lah...so a mug of coffee would be better...i love coffee...seriously i am addicted to it...owh yeah...i am going to jogja this weekend...my friends told me to try out the most expensive coffee in the world....KOPI LUWAK...i heard it cost about RM40/- per cup (in Indonesia) but i also heard that outside of Indonesia it is even more expensive...about A$50 in australia or about USD33...not mug okay, per cup...deng pricey...i asked my friend...what made it so deng expensive...first it has been told that kopi luwak have a very unique taste and really over the top...hurmmm really...what made the coffee so special in the first place....well...i was kinda taken aback when i know of how the coffee was produced in the first place...get this...

~kopi luwak is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the asian palm civet (a type of fox)~

understand? okay i try to make it easier...

~the civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested~

still dont understand?

~the shortest way to say it is, it is made from civet's shit!...erkkkk....

now i am having second thought about it...but still...as an avid coffee lover, it is a must to at least taste it once....hurmmm....should i?

Guys Do Not Gossip

I remember Ady's exact words about this...guys do not gossip...girls do that...but guys just merely sharing information about certain individuals for the sake of handing out information...

Hurmmm...agree or not to agree?

Now i am lost...~i can feel niha giving me a cyber-slap upon reading this~

Senseless Ramblings of Commoner About Finance

 Lots of my friends do wonder, how the heck i managed to travel coz we know basically how much all of us got paid...hurmmm....well, i already wrote how i managed my travels in one of my previous entry last year...so this time around, i think i might just give some idea of how i done my budgetting...it might work for me, but it might not work for anyone else...yeah, everyone is different isn't it...and one more thing...based on the my current financial status, i can't afford to buy a house just yet...i might try to squeezed it in for next year...

i had been posted to the finance department for about 1 year and 7 months...been doing budgetting in the big scale for the organisation...and suddenly it hits me...why i didn't apply what i know to my own personal life...yeah, my finance needs some big revamp...with an extra-ambitious-travelling + extra-shopaholic-shopping + extra-luxurious-meals-getaway last year...the year of 2009 leaves me with full of sweet memory and also marks a bad financial year for me...yup...i really need to re-structure my finance, in one way or another or else, i won't be able to do any more travelling this year (missed my Perth trip in December due to financial constraint, fyi i already bought the tickets in June 2009)...

end of last year i developed this excel format to ease up the way i monitor the budget of the whole organisation internally in 2010...all i need was a lil bit of adjustment here and there and it can fit right in for me to use on my daily life...yeah it kinda sound a lil bit stupid but seriously i need to do this...on top of that i have to do the whole year financial projection (based on my current salary, waiving all those increaments and anything that comes in my way)...find out how much i will got paid in one whole stretch of a year and i got started...and yeah, since i am in the finance department, i am stuck in the office...NO extra allowances, or claims or what not...what i got is totally basically a basic salary of an officer in the service...

lets get started...10% off my paycheck went to the savings account (after the E*PF deduction)...yeah it is a little amount...but seriously, we need to be real...10% is the best i can do...and maybe after i got my 'taraf berpencen', i can increase it a bit (plus the amount from the monthly E*PF deduction)....that left me with another 90%...this particular 90% have to be re-adjust to shred off the commitments....the commited payments that you have to do monthly without fail...car loans, study loans, house rental, utilities and whatever loans there is out there....your car should never exceed more than 20% off your paycheck...otherwise you will be pampering your car more than you going to spend it on yourself...so that left with about 70%...from this 70%, the rest of the commited payments should not exceed 30%...when i said commited payments i meant all your loans/ commited payments (study loans, personal loans, house rentals etc)...so roughly you will be left with only 40% to go on with your daily life...

as for me with my ambitious travelling plans, i set aside 5% from the paycheck for my travel funds...yeah it is so little that sometimes people just wonder how can i travel on such minimal amount....its easy...just get real and know what your limitations are....you cant very well go to europe by just saving up in a year, it had to be done in long stretch of years (i done mine in the span of 6 years)...and also i travel in budget style....not luxurious 5 star hotels or what not...travel on basic aspects...

now i am left with 35%...erkkk...this is the final amount that i spend monthly for my daily endeavours and also in case my little brothers and sisters started doing that kitty-like-voice saying ~i don't have anything to eat~i had been tying my stomach~owh yeah, it works...and i had done that to my big sister back then when i was in my varsity years...now its my younger siblings kinda take the same idea and applied it to me...denggg.....hahahaha...its not much but alhamdulillah i managed...somehow i managed to monitor my daily expenditure and where my money had been going...to tell the truth, i only spent 12% off my paycheck for my meals in January 2010...12% went to gas, parking and tolls...and another 5% for my own entertainment....movies, outings and all....and another 6% went to my younger siblings...

i am dead serious about financial issue this year...last year was a financial nightmare for me...spending more than i could afford...over-ambitious-extensive-travels....these two really put a big hole and i mean BIG HOLE in my account book...so this year i seriously want to be eased off financial problems...as i have one goal to achieve this year...but somehow by september 2010, insya allah, i will have some extra funds, in which i hope can help in a way to achieve my 2010 BIG GOAL...for those who know me well enough do know what is my BIG GOAL this year...yeah...i am dead serious...

Review - Adnan Sempit

Many and i mean MANY of my friends recomended this movie...at first i wasn't that intrigued to watch it since the poster is not that alluring...but words by mouth prove to be the most effective as there was not only one, two, or three, but lots of my friends recomend it...so i call up my movies buddies and en route for the movie...owh yeah i forgot to mention, i tried to go and watch the movie three times but every single time it was FULL HOUSE...perghhh boleh tak? which added to my interest to seriously watch the movie...

The movie started off with this Adnan (Shaheizy Sam) whois a despatch in a company, who have a serious problem of daydreaming...ya la...syok kat big boss....hello....but then again...this is a movie...so anything can happen in a movie la...adding in to the crazyness, Adnan have this cousin, Macha (Cat Farish) whois married to the very the garang wife, Ika (Julia Hana) who opened a warung where he went almost on daily basis (i think la) to get advice about love and all...especially about love lah...and it was damn funny weih...from the amateur karaoke singer disrupting their conversation with songs down to the conversation itself....i was laughing like mad...

To cut the story short, Nadia (Intan Ladyana), the boss, have to be the host of this reunion with her friends...and because she doesn't want her 'water face' to drop, she literally snatch Adnan to her office room and introduced him to all her friends (there were only two of them in her office) as her boyfriend...and the delirious Adnan fainted...wadamaderfakingfish...

The story goes on with all these hillarious conversations and direct malay-english translation that is so damn hillarious and i was clenching my jaw from laughing too much...and also some of the unbelievable dialogue such as this ~'Walaupun muka saya nampak brutal, tapi dalam hati ada taman' (and sobbing endlessly on Nadia's shoulder)~ wadamaderfakingfish...

Not going to give in all the spoilers and all as i had been warned...deng...i tend to write a whole sypnosis instead of a review of some sort...anyway...this movie is hillarious for some laughing time it is worth it...nothing to think about, just go ahead and laugh your head off...but seriously this is one hilarious modern malaysian-made comedy...it was worth my time and the RM8/-...recomended...support malaysian products yeah...

Boyfriend...Girlfriend

I just read my fellow blogger's latest entry about A Caring Boyfriend is A Lousy Boyfriend  ...interesting...because my experience was the other way around...when you read the entry you'll understand...

I used to have an ex who would demand me to sms/ call every single morning, afternoon, evening and before going to sleep without fail...if i fail to sms/ call any one of the time frame, there would be a hell to pay...merajuk tak ingat dunia...and being me, ~ada aku kesah~...if you are going to succumb to your own sad world of grumbleness, be my guest...unless if i had done something extremely wrong to deserve a cold shoulder, then i would try to rectify the situation...but if the reason just because i missed one of the 'important' phone call, well then....pergi la merajuk sorang sorang...ooopppsss dah terlari daripada tajuk la plak...

One thing for sure is, there is no specific code of conduct regarding caring...some people would said that actions speak better than words, some would love colorfoul flowerish words, some would even prefer some 'touch'? erkkk...the way i care about others would differs from how others care about their respective partners, friends and family...it is a very subjective choice...a choice that is totally meant individually...if one's choose to show the way he/ she care about their respective partners thru lovely words...be my guest...i am not a 'wordish' person...i don't really believe in giving romantic words...one thing, because i sucks at it...secondly, because i am not hopelessly romantic but i am romantically hope-less...so, don't expect beautiful wordings from me lah...

Now it comes down to how actually you would term that particular partner of yours are lousy or caring? is it from the endearments used? is it from the presents? is it from the attentions given? these are all subjective questions that have different answers if you ask different person...

All in all, as long as you are happy with your relationship...just do the things that make you happy...if the constant calls would enhance your communication, do it....if terms of endearments would florish the love between you, say it...if a present can brighten up your day, buy it (subject to financial ability lah, don't go on making yourself buried in debt because you want to give your respetive partner an LV)...if a touch can calm them down, ermmmm, ask them to pray to god lah....mana boleh sentuh sentuh ni, batal air semayang...hahahah...mamal going on with yet another senseless ramblings...

Review - Halimah Jongang

Actually aku tak pernah tengok pon citer nie...ada la satu hari yang nan indah, one of my good buddies tagged me to a video in fesbuk...it was only a song...it goes roughly like this

JANGAN JANGAN JANGAN KU DIGODA
TENGOK MUKA PUN AKU TAK SELERA
PERGI PERGILAH CARI YANG LAIN
something dot dot dot

and with the chorus
JONGANG JONGANG JONGANG
KAU HALIMAH JONGANG
JONGANG JONGANG JONGANG
HALIMAH GIGI JONGANG

aku dengar first time ketawa bagai nak mampos...but still it can't outdo the wittiness of Cari Jodoh by Wali Band...but this is one of those song that you really hate to hear but it stick to your head like a glue....wadahekkkk....

never satisfied with just merely a gist of the song, i surfed the web and tried to download the song via 4shared...perghh...ada siotttt....and i was flabbergasted...then i downloaded the song...and listened to it from start to finish...

the song was interesting enough...if you listen carefully, it was somehow segregate to three melody components...if you listen to the verse, the bridge and the chorus separately, you might not know that is was indeed that same song...it was catchy and guess what, it was eddie hamid's (remember all those tangkap leleh songs that bring Spoon to the overexposed fame?)...yeah it was the same composer and he sang the song...

done with the song, i surfed the web to get some infos about the particular telemovie (a movie made for television)...and owh yeah...it is some sort of betty-influenced telemovie, malaysian-style that is, about a girl who have jongang teeth (not sure what is jongang in english) who liked a guy who was actually after a hot girl of the village...but yeah la...by the good twist of fate, the girl, halimah jongang left the village for a year and came back with no more gigi jongang and beautiful (the character was played by Sheera Iskandar by the way, who is actually the daughter of aznah hamid and she is quite pretty)...or something like that la...aiyak...sebab aku takder astro kat rumah aku ter-miss these popular telemovie that was made for astro...aduhai...perlukah aku install astro...tengah dok pikiaq...maybe i should get the LCD tv first baru ler install astro...tapi memandangkan housemate aku dah pindah and dia angkut kuar stove, rice cooker dengan kettle, aku terpaksa la beli benda-benda alah tu dulu before i actually can install astro...nasib baik dia tak angkut tv skali kuar (we chipped in money for the tv by the way)....

one thing i notice, malaysia now really came out with good quality products...especially cinematic-wise lah...at least this is from my own perception...coz i think i do enjoy malay dramas nowadays compared to 5 years ago...go go malaysia...and i still can't get the song out of my head....jongang jongang jongang, kau halimah jongang....owh wadamaderfakinfish....

Code Of Conduct : COURTESY PLEASE!!!

Memang aku agak bengang hari ini...dengan dua ekor betina that doesn't know that code of conduct, which is courtesy...first of all la kan, kita ni kan orang melayu, ada sopan santun and please la kan peliharalah that particular idea...

Aku tadi gi lunch dengan che bimb, zaza dengan mimym kat Secret Recipe kat presint diplomatik...memula parking la kat blakang Mydin itu, because that was the parking place lah, RM0.50 per hour...then we walk to SR which was about only 100 metres away la kan...once we reached inside, it was fullhouse...but not every single area was full, if you are coming in pair, there were seats available la kan....and kitorang nie berempat...kebetulan waktu time kitorang masuk nie, kapel dua orang ni dah nak balik dah....alhamdulillah la kan...kalau tak masalah la plak nak menunggu tempat duduk....

Tup tup tak sempat kitorang nak duduk ada la betina tua dua ekor nie terus duduk kat tempat untuk 4 orang itu....aku macam tergamam skit la kan....zaza pun sama....tapi pekerja SR tu dengan sopannya minta akak tu duduk la kat tempat untuk 2 orang sebab kitorang 4 orang and ada tempat untuk 2 orang kat dalam SR tu...yang menyakitkan ati aku la kan, boleh dia taknak berganjak dari tempat tu...dia kata dia sampai dulu...and she is going to stay at that particular seat despite there were only 2 of them and the place was actually for 4 person...wadafish...seorang betina itu yang dok mengarahkan kawan dia tak berganjak tu pakai henbeg gucci fake kot...hello...the bitch was as fake as her henbeg...i know it is fake coz i do know how to differentiate...don't ask me how...i can only tell but i don't know how to explain lah...

Zaza dah bengang giler, sama la dengan aku, and aku kesian kat pekerja SR tu sebab tak diendahkan langsung oleh betina gucci fake itu...wadamaderfakingfish la kan...tensen aku...last last...kitorang terus blah and not before zaza yell out 'SELFISH!!!'....and kitorang terus gi ke Sup Ani Utara instead...

Then when we were back, i noticed they were still in the SR (we had to take the same route to go back to our car)and they refused to look at us...takut kottt....and i was tempted to give the betina's car a nice deco at the side by using a twenty cents schilling...but decided against it as it was not worth it...owh yeah, i know which car they were driving since they paid the parking before we paid the parking....it was greyish colored honda city WRR5**3...denggg you women betina...geram giler aku....

Seriously, nowadays people tend not to give any hint towards their own code of conduct...we are malaysian, and were known for our 'sopan'ess...but how can this two betina act like that i have no idea...even for me la kan...personally if i were in a restaurant that is full of people and there were only two of us and there was a group of four eventho they came in a lil bit later, i would be courteous enough to move to other available table to give way for the group...unless if there are no other table available, then cannot help you there la kan...but seriously these two betina really send my blood boiling....giler arrr...not having a good day today...but seriously betina betina ini, if i ever see you again in Alamanda, be sure i will give you a look that could kill...full of ice piercing cold stare...seriously betina gucci fake henbeg...aiiii....sabar ajer ler aku....dah abis dah tensen....tak der maknanya nak go on with it...

Housemates, Ex Housemates

When i started living in Putrajaya, it was 5 of us in the flat...2 of them were married and another 3 still single (back then lah)...lepas tu, the first to move out was the single ones lah, si ajis sebab adik and kezen dia dapat kerja kat kl so they decided to stay together...tinggal le 4 orang...then one of the married one, han plak pindah sebab wife dia dah dapat tukar mai putrajaya....so there were 3 of us left in the house...one married and 2 singles lah....

Pastu aku plak gi 6 months course....tinggal diorang dua but still i kept paying the rent coz the flat was under my name when we first rented it....waktu aku tengah kursus tu, si single sorang nie, hanaf pon tamatkan dia punya single title la plak...tapi still maintain dok kat rumah tu sebab wife dia praktikal kat kuantan....then bila aku balik kursus, diorang dua plak pi kursus but still maintain bayar sewa...

Then habis diorang kursus, the married one, di plak kuar amik kuarters and bawak anak bini dia mai putrajaya...so tinggal la aku dengan si hanaf until yesterday finally si hanaf pon kuar jugak dari rumah dan masuk ke kuarters kerajaan dan dalam usaha untuk transfer bini dia mai putrajaya...

Diam tak diam, its already been almost 3 years since we first living in together in that small flat with 3 rooms...daripada empty flat, skg dah ada tv and sofa and fridge...and bila hanaf kuar dia angkut skali dia punya rice cooker, stove dengan cerek air...nasib baik gak we all decided that each one of us buy an item instead of chipping in money coz its hard to split back the money as the depreciation of the value of those items la kan....not fair....so, i need to buy a stove, a rice cooker and electric kettle to replace those that hanaf took when he moved out...

Out of 5 of us, i am the only one who still remain single...aiyak...and i am the second youngest among all 5 of us...the eldest was di, then han, ajiz, me and finally hanaf...but me? still single mingle lah....yang lain semua dah nak beranak pinak sudah...

Owh yeah, i already got a new housemate...the new batch, two years younger but seems okay enough...and another one is due to move in with me by next month as it was a request from his current housemate that he move out next month instead of this month....he is a friend of mine la....one year older....aiyak...geng loser yang tak kawin lagi....huhuhuh....

I am trying to enhanced my memory on the varsity days....we rented an apartment (complete with pool, sauna, jacuzzi) for RM550 per month and there were 7 of us back then...then one by one move out chasing our dreams...it been a while since i last met any of them...but i still keep in touch with them....they were the ones who helped me created great memories during my varsity years....miss the old days of the varsity years...

Anyway, i like the flat i am staying now...some of my friends were asking why didn't i move out to kuarters instead coz the rental is the same...but i have my own reason why....and let the reason be my own...coz it can't really justify why, just its only for me to know...hehehe....

Now i am becoming senseless with the things that had been going on...aiyakkk....why la i am still single...opppsss tidak berkaitan dengan tajuk di atas....ampunnnnn....

Diary Of Almost The Shopaholic

I am not a shopaholic...seriously i am not...eventho i just bought a pair of shoes coz it was cheap...and its hard to find a guy's shoes okay...and cheap some more...and very comfortable too...and also tahan jugak la (still wearing the same Primavera shoe to work yang aku beli bulan Ogos 2007)...to date i have about what...30 shoes?(including sandals) ada orang angkat kening sebelah bila dengar setetmen ini....seriously aku tak prasan dalam 3 tahun kebelakangan ni aku banyak beli kasut, and half of it are Primavera...yer ler...Primavera skali dia sale, RM250 pon tinggal RM50 ajer...mana tak aku belinya...harus la beli kan...kan...kan...kan???

To tell truth, semenjak aku dok kat bahagian kewangan ni, aku terbawa-bawa la plak aspek-aspek pengurusan kewangan ke dalam personal life aku...for last year, aku mengaudit diri sendiri, boleh tak? buat pengiraan aset yang termasuk la baju, kasut, seluar dan dot dot dot....and to my surprise, last year i really had outdo myself...purata kadar perolehan (cesszzz poyo giler) aku bagi sepanjang tahun berakhir 31 Disember 2009 adalah 7 helai baju, sepasang kasut, 1/2 pasang seluar, 1/2 botol minyak wangi dan sekurang-kurangnya 1 aksesori (jam, beg, cufflink, butang etc) sebulan selama dua belas bulan...erkkkk....giler arrrr....maksudnya tahun lepas sahaja aku telah membeli 84 helai baju, 12 pasang kasut, 6 pasang seluar, 6 botol minyak wangi dan sekurang-kurangnya 12 jenis aksesori tambahan....aperkahhhhh....84 helai baju tuh (tidak termasuk baju untuk bagi hadiah kat orang from my travels)...no wonder la aku punya almari dah tak muat...and aku dok wat pelupusan baju bagi kat adik aku, still baju aku rasa sangat banyak...tapi baju aku semuanya yang on sale okay, bukan new arrivals...tak mampu den...tapi still....giler arrrr wat per ler aku beli baju bebanyak camtu skali? and aku baru perasan tahun lepas aku beli banyak giler neck tie....

Tapi 6 botol minyak wangi itu perlu, sebab aku menggunakan bau-bauan berbeza untuk melakukan aktiviti yang berlainan...Dunhill Eccentric untuk pergi kerja, Zegna untuk formal occasions, Karl Lagerfeld Florentine untuk casual outing, Carolina Herrera Chic For Men untuk night outing, Roberto Cavalli For Men adalah untuk keperluan pergi mendengar musik dan Ralph Lauren Silver untuk kegunaan pergi bersukan....now i sound like a male bimbo....erkkkk eh...aku still ada Calvin Klein Euphoria dengan Givenchy Very Irresistable tu untuk aper ek? Calvin Klein One itu harus la ada sepanjang masa...itu untuk multi-purpose use.....erkkkk....adakah aku menjadi seorang himbo? (male version of bimbo)...tidakkkkk.....

No wonder la aku rasa cam tahun lepas aku cam terover shopping ajer...giler tul...alamat tahun ni aku konfem tak bley shopping dah memandangkan tahun lepas telah shopping dengan kadar yang berlebihan (bagi standard aku la, some others maybe rasa cam normal ajer)...so...kena la wat budgetting balik, with no aspect of shopping whatsoever...travel for the purpose of travel....that reminds me that i need to leave my credit card in malaysia when i am going to Bandung...been reminding myself this particular thing sebab bulan depan dah trip ke bandung lagi...

Rasanya aku start kena bebetul berjaga jaga dengan perkataan SALE la...bahaya betul...especially kalau benda tu harga asal RM500 jadi RM50....hello, harus la beli kan...walaupun benda tu tak penting sebenarnya...erkkk...hurmmm...janganlah aku jadi shopaholic, tak sanggup den nak bekukan kredit kad and simpan dalam peti sejuk....ampunnnn....mintak simpang la yo...

Keeping My Fesbuk Status Blank

Some of my friends sms me because they haven't seen my fesbuk status updates for almost a week now...some thought that they had been barred from reading it and some even thought that i already deleted them from my friend's list...no lah...i just want to take a break from updating my status, but it didn't deter me from still using fesbuk as a social tool though...i still contacting my brothers and sisters thru fesbuk...especially seeing pics of my cute niece, Siti Nur Aishah posted by my big brother and he tagged all of us, the siblings in the family...once i commented to my brother, that he should change his fesbuk to Aishah Adzim instead of Adzim Wahab since every single one of us brothers and sisters do visit his fesbuk frequently to see the updates of our niece instead of his updates...hahahahaha....keji tak?

A good friend of mine commented once that if somebody hired an assasin to assasinate me, it would be so easy just by looking at my fesbuk status updates, as i tend to update about my whereabouts and what i am doing at the current time and not to forget what i had been eating while i was at the specific place...hurmmm...never thought of that before...maybe coz some of my friends do updates every single place they are at (since they are using blekberi, it is easy lah)...so i find it just normal...

Anyway, i just think that i should just shy away from status updates for the present time as i hate to feel uneasy when someone is bothered by my status updates...maybe i'll update my status again in the future, when i have the time to really delete those who should be deleted...or i just group them into a group that cannot see any of my status updates...but not for the current time lah...but i still managed to steal some time to blog...just love writing...don't like writing about sensitive issues, but just something that related to my daily endeavours and some of my senseless thoughts...

For the time being, i just want to keep my mouth shut and my fesbuk status blank...at least this might lessen the constant disatisfaction over my tendency to be transparent with my daily endeavours...but i keep on blogging when i feel like it...

A Dress That I Wear Once A Year

First of all, awat la depa panggil no.1 dress...cam pompuan la plak pakai dress...cakap la suit ker aper ker...lebih androgenous skit...tapi whatever lah...by far, inilah baju paling mahal aku pernah ada (yeah Ady, your Armani suit cost 5 times, i get it)...and paling kurang diutilisekan...tapi at least la kan...aku ada gak peluang nak pakai baju nie at least once a year sebab ada hari nak bagi title yang melambangkan ketuaan tapi still orang bangga nak letak depan nama depa...hahahah....aku pon insya allah kalau dapat harus lah aku letak....tapi lambat lagi kot...maybe bila aku dah jadi tua in real sense baru la layak...tapi aku still aiming for the dr. title lah....tak kira...PhD...HARUS!!!! tapi wajib la amek masters dulu...erkkkk...brangan kuat...

Getting back at the dress i just talked about...me and my friends who are in 'the same route' inieh semua ada sorang satu....laki ka pompuan ka tak kira...wajib ada....mesti kena ada....and semua pon at least pernah pakai skali waktu convocation kitorang punya diploma ari itu....it was indeed a nice 'dress'...tapi panas nak mamposss okay...dah ler dok berjalan ke hulu ke hilir...abis la...

Anyway, most of my friends, lepas convo itu ajer abis la bersawang baju tersebut dalam almari mereka...ada yang bernasib baik boleh la gak pakai from time to time (housemate aku sebulan skali mesti pakai dah nama pon dok kerja kat istiadat)...yang dok kat certain kementerian tu....hurmmm...ntah bila la gamaknya nak pakai....kalau cam dok kat SUK Negeri tu ada la gak peluang nak pakai lagi....hurmmm

My office have this one special day la kan, so it is high in protocol and wajib la kitorang yang dalam route inieh memakai baju putih butang kaler emas itu...nasib baik la baju aku still muat....and denggg...yeah the first comment anyone would asked me was, ~muat lagi ker pakai baju tu~ ceszzzz....muat okay, with no adjustment at all...hahahahaha...bangga siot still boleh muat baju...maksudnya aku tak menjadi lebih gimok seperti yang disangka...huahuahuahau....

Anyway, aku ditugaskan menjaga salah seorang penerima darjah yang paling tinggi tahun nie...tak perlu la sebut nama...korang tengok paper siapa yang got the second highest honour yesterday? and truth to be told, i was kinda surprised...both him and his wife is very warm and humble...i wasn't expecting that....seriously after being L.O for almost 3 years, you kind expected something else...but alhamdulillah, you can't really generalised people into categories...it is all about individuals...so it was a great experience this year...and cik mala, i also had the priviledge meeting your biggest boss woooo...aku seriously  tak kenal dia..mana pernah tengok muka dia...but i know he is somebody la sebab dok row depan skali...aku plak kebetulan waktu time rehearsal tu kena ganti tempat penerima yang aku L.O kan itu sebab dia tak mai...and dia nie dok la kat sebelah aku...then dia boleh nak bersembang dengan aku...aku dah cuak...sapakah ini....aku pun cecepat la dok tengok senarai penerima dalam buku penerima pingat...and then baru la aku tau...owh inilah gerangan yang berbahagia yang telah menandatangani pekeliling pekeliling yang dok menjadi rujukan aku inieh...wahhhh....

Finished with everything, we can't wait to get back home and rest...being working back to back without a proper rest really put a toll on me (the nite before we were in Dataran Merdeka till 1.30 a.m and the next morning have to be in National Palace by 6.30 a.m)...seriously i need some rest....and i think i am going to do just that...

Best Friends, Best Foods And Full Stomachs...

Biasa la aku kan memang antu makan...so waktu tengah kerja kat KL over the weekend and hari wilayah nie apa lagi...amik peluang la...dah kitorang pon dok kat hotel midah...and it is in the heart of kl...not to forget aku punya kawan makan-makan pon ada dok hotel gak...kitorang pon apa lagi...outing makan la...

The first stop...Seoul Garden BBQ Buffet kat Plaza Pantai...my best friends and foodies buddies, Zaza and Mimym...off we went to SG...it was niceee....it is a lil bit pricey...but hello...its not like everyday you going to go there...this is like our first foodies outing this year...yeah it is just the second month of 2010...but seriously, if you guys/ gals doesn't mind paying a lil bit more for some good food, you should try this place...the nearest to putrajaya would be in IOI Mall...but still...its the same place...

It was crowded when we got there...and kitorang tak booking pon, pakai blasah ajer...the roundup price is about RM44 per person....yeah i heard people sighing...but as i said...just once in a while...the concept is as if main masak masak...ada hot pan in the middle of the table with a steamboat soup (choice of tomyam or clear soup) in the middle of the hot pan...pastu gi ler menjelajah dia punya buffet area tu and then amik ler segala mak nenek jenis daging la, ayam la, ikan la, sotong la and many more...jadi...makan sampai harga dia berbaloi RM44 okay..aku memang jangan harap la makan skit skit...hello...its RM44...and it is not cheap by my standard la...its quite pricey...but worth it...lupa lak nak cakap...its open until 10.30 p.m...kitorang gi waktu dinner...

The next day we went on our foodies crazee journey to Delicious in Bangsar Village...kitorang gi sana on our own purpose lah...aku memang nak makan pavlova (actually thought of Alexis but Midvalley, hello parking) and zaza and mimym have something in their mind as well...aku end up memang makan pavlova and death by iced chocolate (its a drink), zaza (to my surprised) ordered dua dish...satu macaroni and cheese (tapi dia tak suka and then bagi kat aku suh makan, tapi aku makan dengan syarat dia tak bley wat bahan kali nie sebab dia suh aku makan) and spaghetti meatballs...best best best...drinks aku lupa plak dia pesan aper...mimym amik spaghetti biasa ajer...and drinks pon aku dah lupa aper....

The taste is not bad la...bukan la over the top...tapi the environment and the coziness of the place yang menampakkan place tu very elegant and very comfty...boleh tido weih punya atmosphere...pricing...well agak pricey gak ler...pavlova aku tu (which is by the way is some sort of cake but not a cake) is about RM11.90 and ayaq aku tu RM10.90...yang diorang punya food aku tak ingat sebab aku tak bayar...hahahah....anyway it was a nice time hanging out with my foodies buddies who really appreciate good food like i appreciate good food...memang la pricey skit but well...i am a real foodies....hehehehe

Don't Judge A Hotel By Its Name

To smoothen our work flow in Kuala Lumpur during Federal Day, we were checked-in to Hotel Midah...owh yeah...bila aku cakap kat memember aku hotel tu nama Hotel Midah...ramai ajer yang angkat kening...

well, me too lah...nama cam hotel 'ayam' ajer...if you know what i meant...but surprisingly it is quite comfortable (only offering basic facilities of a normal hotel) and affordable...since kakitangan sokongan lagi ramai dari taraf pegawai, so kelayakan pegawai inilah yang cover kelayakan kakitangan sokongan (kalau ikutkan kelayakan pegawai boleh ajer twin sharing kat either Le Meridien or Hilton)...yeah it is kinda complicated to explain...but all in all, the hotel is just nice...for a budget hotel that is...so i have to remind myself next time, never judge a hotel by its name (just read a shoutout of a friend in fesbuk stating that quality hotel does not live up to its name, 'quality')...

the location is kinda secluded but near enough to national palace as we are going to work over the weekend and 'the' public holiday (at least for other federal territorians lah not us)...this is the second time i stay at this place...the first one was also for the same purpose...but seriously...it is kinda okay...
