Miss Congeniality

A friend sent me an email which contained news that Sandra Bullock is giving her husband, Jesse James a second chance. I really respect Sandra Bullock. She is just such a wonderful and good human being. In the news article there's also a quote by M.D. Keith Ablow. He said,

"Infidelity is almost never a reason why educated, introspective and forgiving people stay separated or divorced. If other facets of the relationship are present -- including commitment to one's children and an overriding sense that life is more meaningful together than apart -- then marriages can not only survive infidelity, but end up stronger, despite it."

This guy knows what he is talking about.

So Long and Goodbye!

Someone tweeted, "I would so much rather have a few of good friends than a lot of fake friends". I say Amin to that!

I would also like to say, "Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty".

So what I'm trying to say here is, YOU'RE the fake friend. You're also a coward for not having the balls to confront me and tell me you're hurt by what I purportedly said. If you were to confront me then you would know that the comments werent directed at you. It has nothing to do with you in fact.

I'm amazed at the troubles you had to go through to let me know what you thought of me. Calling me "the blackest pot" and "org yg tak sedar diri, tak reti nak cermin sendiri, konon bagus yg ckp ikut suka jerr"...I leave it to God to balas whatever you've said to me. For the 100th times, you got it all wrong..again!

All I want to say is so long old friend! You will not be missed.

Of Effing Idiot and A Crappy Drama

You know what's annoying? I'll tell you what's annoying.

You're in a restaurant with a bunch of friends. Then you ordered the food and wait for it to come. Food came for everyone. Then one person tasted her food and found that it was not that nice or it tasted like crap. Then this person would actually offer the not so nice food to her friends to taste to affirm that it is in fact not nice. I mean come on! If it's not nice then why the heck would you want to offer it to other people to taste? Just simply say, "Ladies, next time dont order this dish. It tastes like crap" would suffice.

What is it with people and the need to have affirmation? If you say your food is crap, trust me, I'll believe you. You dont need my opinion to affirm how crappy the food is. Plus it's not polite to offer crappy food to people. Tak belajar manners ke?

Oh and what's up with Mel "Psycho" Gibson? Has he gone mental?! The things that is spewing out of his mouth is pure filth! I got sick to my stomach listening to this audio of him fighting with Oksana on the phone. He needs to be admitted to a mental institution la. Psycho! And to think I used to idolise him especially after the movie Braveheart! Sheesh!

One more thing, I do watch malay dramas okay. I am not ashame to admit that (can ask my husband). But I am ashame to call "Duyung Aridinata" a malaysian product. The script macam sampah and merepek nak mampos. So sayang coz the dramas has the possibility of being a good fantasy drama. I sat through Dendam Orang Minyak, Sayang Cendana and even Siong but nothing compares to this Duyung drama man. Tony Eusoff as the Papa Duyung has the most ridiculous lines and I am dreading the scenes with Fasha Sandha. And to think that I've only seen 2 episodes!! I dont know how this drama can get better and I'm afraid to watch and find out and waste 1 hour of my life. Sigh.

A Lovely July

World Cup is over and Spain was the champion. Yay! Better Spain than the Neanderthals. As you can see I am still upset with the Neanderthals for kicking Brazil out of the WC so obviously I would support Spain in the finals. They played better anyway.

I watched Eclipse last weekend and thought it was corny as hell! But, I love the corniness of it all and that they actually followed the book! Sigh...I am still in team Edward but damn that Jacob is hawt on screen! If anyone read the book they would soooo be on team Edward okay. Those who are on team Jacob actually tidak menghayati the book sepenuhnya and terpengaruh dengan body 6 packs Taylor Lautner. Muahahaha!

I thought Kristen Stewart sucked as Bella. That girl cant act I tell you! No emotions at all. She can't even fake a cry! So kayu! Wahai Mr. Director, I personally think I can act better than her and I will rock as Bella. Hehehe..Seriously, this is like the 3rd movie already and Kristen's acting has NOT improved at all.

We have 3 mommies-to-be at the office and today we're organising a baby shower for all of them. I want a baby shower too coz I want presents! Hehehe..emo kejap.

I have 2 weddings to go to this weekend. I am running out of baju kurungs to wear lah.

Fasting month is around the corner. You guys dah ganti puasa?

There is no water in the toilet at my office. Smart building la sangat sampai takder air! Sheesh!

I cant wait till end of the month because my friends and I are going to Redang! Wooohoo! Sand, sea and sun! Hehehe..cant wait to go snorkelling. Cepatlah skit end of the month. I need a holiday!

Waka Waka Eh Eh...

Ok I have to keep the momentum going. Trying to update at least twice a week. Hopefully not "hot hot chicken shit"...hehehehe...

World Cup fever is ending soon. I'm not really a huge football fan so I don't watch all those EPL games but when it comes to World Cup then yeah I'm a fan! I support Brazil and it was heartbreaking when they lost to the Neanderthals. Now Spain and the Neanderthals are in the final. I'm sure you can guess who I will be rooting for. Definitely NOT the Neanderthals. Yes, I'm petty that way. A bit of a sore loser too. Hehehe..So you won't see me rooting for countries who have beaten Brazil. I don't care what people say about Brazil. Defence tak kuat la, everyone depending solely on Kaka la...Who cares? I still have faith in them. They will come back better and stronger in 2014. Hubby said I'm a very scary person when I watch the games especially when Brazil is playing. I turned into a "monster" somehow. LOL! I have to agree with him. What to do? He married a passionate woman so have to deal with it la kan? :P

I've got 4 weddings to attend in July. It's a busy, busy month. A colleague and a friend's sister will be getting married this weekend. Then an ex-colleague is getting married next week. Hubby's futsal buddy is also getting married next week.

Owning a property be it a house or kondo is pretty scary kan? I mean you have to deal with the monthly payments, groceries, utilities, management fees (if you live in a kondo) and furnitures. Hubby and I are seriously thinking about buying a kondo and moving out of my parents' place but thinking about all those expenses is already giving me a headache. But it must be done. If we dont move out now then we will be too comfortable at my parents place and will never move out. It's a pretty big decision I know. But I am excited. I get to decorate the kondo however I want to. And most importantly we have our privacy. I have been living with my parents since like forever. Rasa sedih la jugak if I move out especially when I wont be near my nephew and niece coz they usually sleep at my parents house.

But we've made our decision and we're sticking to it. We're definitely getting our own place and moving out. InsyaAllah all will be well. Pray for us :)

I Am Not A Tin Kosong

You see I'm not the kind of person who likes to "kipas/jilat bontot" my superiors. I let my my work speak for itself. But nowadays, told that's not how people do things anymore. "Tin kosong" is in and "diam-diam berisi" is out.

I've been told that for you to be noticed by the higher powers that be, you need to be more vocal during meetings. You need to speak up and give your views or do like what some people would do i.e. summarise the views of their colleagues and then voice it out confidently like it's their own views. Smart kan? I honestly can't stand these kind of people. You know, people who has opinions about EVERYTHING but not necessarily their own?!

I know a person who rarely socialises with his colleagues outside of work but if he hears that his boss was going to be there then he would turn up just to "show face". I just couldnt be bothered. If I dont feel like socialising after working hours then I wont bother turning up even if my boss was going to be there. But I know for a fact that socialising after office hours does help one's career.

I've been feeling very de-motivated lately. I need to get out of this funk I'm in or else I'm going to sink even deeper. God help me, please.

Should I Stay or Should I Go

This is my 241 posting. Cant believe I've been blogging since 2005. My blog will be 5 years old come Sept 2010. I've still got so much to say and write but sometimes I just dont have the energy to type them out.

The blogging community has changed so much. I missed my blogger friends who used to update their blogs at least 3 times a week! Now nak post once a month pun payah! Myself included. I know some friends who actually check on how I'm doing by reading my blog. If I write about something that upsets me, these friends will actually email/text me to ask me whether I'm alright and I appreciate that very much. Most of my friends are on my fb/twitter lists but some are not. So blogging is the only way for me to let them know that I'm alive and well.

Hubby posted something on his twitter. He said, "Hmmm...in d last month, added 2 new nephews back home. 2 more coming frm d wife's side. Wondering when it wld be our turn".

I felt so sad reading his tweet. We both want children so badly. But I dont want to dwell on it. We will just have to do everything in our power to make that happen. InsyaAllah.

In the meantime, I'm so thankful to have wonderful, cute and smart nieces and nephew to make me happy. I think I would go crazy if they're not around. Pic below is of my nephew. He's 5 years old and this year has started going to kindie. Looks like an angel but OMG! suka menjawab!

The one below is taken at the mosque during my cousin's akad nikah. The one in orange is my 4 year old niece and the one in green is my 2 year old niece. Yup, my life would definitely be incomplete without them.
