..the final frontier..

..how time flies when you're always on the go.running here,rushing there.trying to ensure all things are done before you finally go off for that very-much-deserved break and juz have a ball!!

..yup people..im sure you guys are very much aware that two major festivals are up next week.back to back,one could say.i am for one excited yet a bit sad as the coming of Syawal means the end of Ramadhan..the end of an array (or strecthes one could say) of good malaysian food.yummy!!

..there's no other month where you can see food bazaar every where around the country.it onlyhappens in Ramadhan month..hehehe..

..but the coming of Syawal means the time for family members,near or far to gather around and celebrate,to catch up with the latest happenings and to seek forgiveness and to cleanse oneself..

..but for now im juz glad its Friday coz for the past 2 weeks ive been running around like some mad woman (not literally speaking of course!),trying to get everything done before end of the month coz accounts needs to be "closed" earlier than usual..both me n my manager are going for a break.hers is longer-laa than mine (almost 2 weeks).so.must "tutup buku" awal2 lor..

..why do things get so haywire and hectic towards nearing the festival DESPITE making early preparations?as if,inspite of having a check list and ensuring that everything on the list is done before due,there are those tiny,itsy bitsy things that still needs to be done at the very last minute..defeats the purpose of having a check list,i would say :-p

..what ever-laa..

..nways,i wish to take this opportunity to wish all my Hindu pals and fellow bloggers a Happy Diwali or Deepavali.May this festival of lights brings brightness and victory of the good over the bad.

..and to all Muslims..Selamat hari raya aidilfitri..Maaf zahir,batin and virtual..hehehe.See ya lepas raya!!

p/s:those not celebrating..njoy the long break.we all deserve it :-D

..the 2nd week of Ramadhan..

..im not gonna blog about Ramadhan.well,not entirely-laa.juz a realisation that 2weeks of Ramadhan has passed.which means only another 2 weeks to Syawal..sigh,how time flies when you are having fun..sigh,sigh,sigh..

..nway,i woke up thanx to my mum's high shrill.yikes!this is what happens when your mum is on leave and you are caught sleeping-in on a working day.i hadta drag myself from the bed,to go and bathe.

..somemore there's no hot water!aiyoo..cold shower on a tres froid morning

..brrr..brrr..damn cold man!

..something caught my attention this morning,while waiting for the train at W.Maju station (puasa month,lrt is the BEST means of transportation).

..nway,back to my story..im sorry if i sound viciuos or cold-hearted but i saw a really,REALLY hideous sight..HAIRY EARS!!uugghh..gelinya!

..i feel sorry for the guy.the facial hair is really thick and coarse-like.and it covers the outer part of the earlobe (im not good in describing,but whatever it is,its yucky and hideous)..so geli,ok?i know im suppose to be more sympathetic but i just cant help myself..poor guy..

..on a different note,the spirit of Raya is very much present,here in KLCC.the mgmnt has set up a rumah kampung and some other stuff to create a DeepaRaya mood.

..to be frank,im not really excited about Raya.maybe its the more mature (chewah!) and older me has taking into liking Ramadhan more than Raya.

..but when i went down to get Dunkins for my brothers for buka puasa,as i was going down the escalator,the sound of Sudirman's Hari Raya song plus the suroundings of people in baju melayu and baju kurung,suddenly got me into the Raya mood..

..i felt a certain longing feeling that was once there during my uni days in Batu Pahat where balik kampung really means balik my kampung,my hometown,which is KL.i used to get really excited about going back to KL eventhough during non-Raya period,i go home about once a month..to balik kampung really made me feel like a "perantau"..hehehe..

..im having mixed feelings bout this years' Ramadhan and Raya.I don't want the Ramadhan to end but secretly (now not so secret anymore-laa) im also excited for Raya to come.for the first time in 4 years my nenek will be joining us on pagi raya at her own house,instead of us visiting her at my aunty's place in Subang.

..hummh.."Selamat,hari raya..Kepada saudara serta saudari" :-p

..bored,sleepy and overly-rested..

..know what happens when you have TOO much time to spare?(read:waste)..

..you'll be yawning hundred times within a span of 3 hours!!and still yawning eventhough its almost 12noon..

..today is lazy friday.i think im even dressed for a "leisure day in office".im wearing capri jeans,for god sake! ;-p..

..even the atmosphere in the room is "cozy,cozy mood".my manager has her mp3 on wif oldies tunes and i am doing "non-office related tasks"(read:blogging) LOL!!

..and the lousy part about having too much time in hand is that the time passes by so BLOODY damn SLOW !!

..this morning,i came in to be greeted by my country manager and even then i was early (i came in at 8.40am).and while fiddling for my keys in my bag i realised that i left my house-cum-office key in the car.yikes!!

..thus i had to sit at the receptionist desk and wait for my manager to come-in.so spent a good 20minutes going through the newspaper.fuyoo!!so many "interesting" news that's happening lately.from the pakistan disaster to the flood that hit kepong-sg buloh to the "unity" of BN and opposition.

..i was finally in my room at about 9.05 and checked my tray for things to do.Actually I have my Service Tax computation to do but since im already in a lazying-around mood,i decided to read my 200 over mails in yahoo and hotmail (i still have about 50 unread ones that i mark as read and these are not spams,mind you)..

..its now 12.40 and the office is empty.everyone is out for lunch and since im the only Muslim in the office (plus im taking over my receptionist tasks),im all alone wif the cleaner.the cleaner was feeling a lil bit chatty but unfortunately my lazying around mood means i lazy to even talk!(that's bad,i know).after some head action and mumbled responses to her queries,she left me alone..(sorry-laa Tutti,xde mood-laa)..

..im fine bout going late for my break.it means i can window shop around KLCC wif lesser crowd cause everyone else is back in their offices.ill have more space in the musallah and can "baring2" a bit.

..mmmm..these kind of fridays me like very much,hehehe..

..wat else to write aaa?tiba2 sejuk pulak office ni bila xde orang.

..im going for a walk around the office and to sit for a while in the warm and cozy conference room till my manager comes back.then i can take my break.

..see-laa if i petang nanti i still haf somemore nonsense in my head that i can scribble here..

..till then,as always..NJOY UR WEEKENDS PEEPS!!

..quizzes..time and again..

..i got this from BeerBuddy and typical of me,always excited to do quizzes.so,i gave it a shot and my most honest-to-god answers..

..the results..jeng,jeng,jeng (stail cerita P.Ramlee plak :-p )

Your EQ is

140 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.




What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

..im good at relating with others?! hummh..
..btw,my score is 140 (not see visible due to my blogs' background color)

..im not a very patient person,actually.i get irritated easily,to be frank.its just that my irritation and anger "dissolves" quickly.but im not a very expressive person i.e i cant say out loud what i feel.if im angry or upset,ill just bottled-up my feelings.to this very day,i just cant change this "habit" of mine..

..nways,i have to get back to work.will blog again when free..toodles!

..ramadhan and its lavish buffets..

..the first week of Ramadhan was a mixture of some "interesting" events (which i do not wish to disclose coz its too gruesome for me to describe,LOL) and some early shopping by yours truly ( i couldnt help myself! it was on sale!!)

..i came in this morning to be "welcomed" with a rather heart-stopping news from my manager about the accounts (but it was sorted out,thank god!).

..as of 10am,i have been "booked" for 2 buka puasa.one on the 15th wif my TKC gurls and on the 29th with my family and extended family.and i am KIV-ing 22nd in case my bf wants to go buka puasa with me (if not,i can still put in for others,hik! ).and that leaves me with the 30th - 1st which i plan to take my family out.

..at this rate,i can very well say that i'm fully booked for the whole month!fuyoo! almost like menteri,man! LOL..

..but when it comes to breaking fast "outside",the main problem is where to eat.for me,its trying to find a place that can offer a good buffet but at an affordable rate.i've got 6 in the family and since im the one who's footing the bill,id hafta be "haji bakhil" a bit..hehehe.its not that my parents can pay for it.it's juz that,the least i could offer for this ramadhan is a treat to "buka puasa di luar"..

..so,im open for suggestion on buka puasa venues.any good places that you wanna recommend?drop me a line,okies?.

..till my next entry,jagalah pandangan,percakapan dan pendengaran anda..

..crazy as a rat..

..after enduring grueling hours from 9 to 4.30pm of reporting/bank reconciling,resume receptionist duties (my receptionist on maternity leave aleady) and running around like some mad woman in a bun and torquoise kebaya,finally i managed to catch my breath and relief myself to the ladies..

..that's how bad today was,is..whatever.

..im so so tired.my back hurts,my feet are sore and im hungry.i was a near breakdown when my bank doesnt reconcile and million other stuff had to be done AT THE SAME TIME !!

..dah-laa.i wanna pack up.its almost 5.30pm.im goingback..im tired..

..nice weekend y'all!!

..Marhaban Ya Ramadhan..

..in about 1 1/2 hours the Muslim in Malaysia will be welcoming the coming of the Holy month Ramadhan..

..i am for one,very excited about this coming Ramadhan..im not really sure why.i could feel that this Ramadhan holds untold promises for me.guess we'll just hafta wait and see what the it'll unveil.

..to all Muslims,Selamat Berpuasa/Happy Fasting.moga-moga dapat berpuasa penuh dan menunaikan solat terawih berjemaah di masjid untuk lebih keberkatan..

..if you are looking for me from 8-9.30pm,i'll be at Masjid Tmn Melawati.marilah beramai2 :-)

..till my next posting..Marhaban Ya Ramadhan!!

Ahlan Wasahlan!
