Reflecting....
Had lunch yday with the SIM girls but too bad, we could not get the whole strength to report for duty.. hehe.. but what to do, the show must go on.. Tanya, Shanta and I headed down to Breeks for lunch before joined by Misha later.. We had a great time catching up.. Shanta is now working at MDIS while Tanya is till unemployed which i would be soon.. sigh... another round of job-hunting... Misha not planning to get a job soon cos its now time for her to start a family soon..
I might also apply for MDIS since i was told by Shan that there is an opening but form the stories she told me abt the office politics are pretty scary... so we will see abt that... Thinking of applying at the Rainbow Centre too.. we'll see...
After lunch, we headed down to Gelare for dessert and another session of chats.. Introduced Tanya to the chocolate waffles and loved it!! Yeah, its heavenly.. melted chocolates in between the waffles...
I just found out that there would be a sequel to Sepet and its entiltled Gubra.. Hmmm, sound interesting and sad... Amacam Ja? Up for another crying session? Siggghhhh.... so sad, tmr would be our last day at SGX... dun wanna think abt it now but i have a feeling some tear would be shed tmr... Kita rock maintain ok Ja!
Oh ya, i was just reading my previous post back in June to just reflect back on the things i said and done... and i found this particular post on June 22, 2005.. here are the excerpt..
For those of you who never knew me as a BSB fan, now u know. Before being a fan of any rock groups or any other group, my 1st love was BSB... hmmm.. maybe i shld say my 1st love is still BSB? I thought i wld grow out of that whole BSB phase but i guess not! With their new album out, i can wait to see what they will do soon. Perhaps a concert in S'pore? I wish that wld come true!! I so wanna go!!!! Brian is now dad by the way, and yes, Brian Thomas Litrell is my fave Backstreet. Oh ya, the copycat N'Stinks, is planning for a comeback too after seeing the success of the BSB's return. COPYCAT!!!
And who would have known, it actually came true... heheh... so if any of u out there are confused or interested in knowing my status with Becks and Brian.. here it is.. My husband is Becks when BSB went into a hiatus for 5yrs but now, im rekindling my 1st love with Brian, catching up pn those 5yrs.. hmmm.. so i would say that its pretty complicated... heheh...

Khalawat Operation IV... FINALLY!!
Finally!! It was Ops 4 last night after countless 3.something just because we could not get the full strength together.. everyone so busy..
Went to Lot 1 last night to celebrate Azack belated burfday.. I tot i was the one who would be late but i was proven wrong... The rest came trickling down to Lot 1 half an hr to one hr later, one after another.. Poor me, had to sit at the control station for sooooo looonnngggg beside this nyonya who used such an overwhelming amount of Axe Oil.. felt like puking..
Had our dinner at Let's Eat, sthg like Sakura but the serving is much more.. As usual, we had our normal dosage.. hmmm.. come to think of it, an overdosed of jokes, laugthers, lover's tiff, lover's bedroom secret.. ehem.. hahah.. so, its officially over between Azack and Zal while the fire between Fiq and me is still blardy burning.. We have our more than 3min video clip to prove... LOL!!! Azack and Zal had finally worked it out that it was impossible between them cos their kids would end up being cartoons.. flat cartoons that is.. hahah... It was hilarious when Azack mentioned that if Zal killed her there, she would have all the other people in the restaurant as evidence.. haha....
After dinner, we headed down to Mac so that Azack can unwrap her prezzie.. I was so excited cos it was really nice and i could not wait to see her reaction.. I was kicking myself when buying her the prezzie cos there were so many nice long selves shirt and jacket at Espirit and i was broke.. sighhh.. why do these always happen when u have no money...
While she was enjoying the prezzie, the 4 of us wrote down our bday wishes right in front of her... talk abt being discreet.. heheh... So we finally knew that Azack is having some crazy thoughts abt Ahpek.. liking small eyes guys is one things but liking an Ahpek is totally a different league... im surprised Azack... and Zal, to think to she left you for some Ahpek.. i really feel sorry for you.. hahah...

YYAYY!! We Won!!
Had a great time yesterday at NUS cos we won!! Hehe...
Intially we decided not to participate cos there werent enuff pple but when Cik Siti told us that she can loan us 3 of her players, we decided to go ahead with it.. And it did result in a favourable outcome..
We were pretty nervous to start with cos we were the 1st team to play for the day.. so we lost the 1st match and the 2nd one too... but won the last match, 13-1.. so we thought that it wld be end of us, just like last year but this year they had a new way in organising the team standings.. Since we got 3rd place in our group standing, we were placed under category B with other 3rd and 4th placing teams from out groupings..
Since there were still a chance to for us to win, we played our hearts put for the remaining 3 games.. we were pretty lucky too cos we had a walk-over cos one of the teams had gone home.. So were won all the remaining games and came 1st place under category B! Yayy!! We felt pretty great cos it was a vast improvement from last year when we were knocked off in the qualifying round..
The other team also cames 1st under Category A, so it was a double celebration for us.. They name their team Sembarang.. So it was quite funny when we cheered "C'mon Sembarang!" Hhahah...
So now, we are setting out sights on the netball match organise the Darussalam Mosque.. since we never entered a netball match before, so looking forward on how we would be faring.. so azza, game for it?

Waiting in the sun.. Still all smiles.. A sign that we wld be winning?

I Do Not Need a Man to Define Myself!
This topic has been lingering in my mind since last week but didnt feel like sharing it till now..
Since the last two weeks, i have been receiving news that SOME of my secondary school fren of mine would be getting engage this year.. and that includes my bestfriend.. and later on, i received a news that a good fren of mine is pregnant.. to hear abt some stranger of my age or some ex-schoolmates whom i wasnt that close to getting married does not really bother me.. But to receive such news from ur bestfriends, i have to admit that it struck a cord..
I would not go as far as to say that i am prepared to get married now but i do wanna get married.. some day.. but before that, i need a candidate 1st right? How much pressure can one really feels when someone close to you started saying that, "You better start looking for a bf," more than often..
When i was in JC and SIM, i would be lying if i said that i didnt really dwell on having a relationship.. Had a couple of crushes, whom i would say that i fell head over heels for but it wasnt reciprocated.. left me heartbroken but i learnt to move on.. and it also added to my skepticism of finding "The One." No matter how much i tried to deny myself into thinking that there is such thing as a soulmate, late at night i found myself wishing hard that God would prove me otherwise..
When i started working, my mind was constantly occupied with thinking abt finding the perfect job for my life.. I kept thinking abt what is my purpose in life and abt what i wanna do with my life.. The thought of having a bf just faded away into the background.. Ever since i started working, i began to see that there is a bigger world out there for me, a lot of things that i do not know, a lot of things that i have not tried doing, a lot of things i have not seen and a lot of things that i wanna achieve and one of them does not concern abt finding a bf.. It just never came up in my head.. I was stumped when someone asked me, "So, what are u looking for in a guy?" I was rendered speechless, i just dunno what to answer cos it had been such a long time since i tot abt it..
When i started working, i began to realise that there is a bigger world out there waiting to be discovered.. There is so many things in my agenda in life and that did not include finding a perfect bf.. I was watching Oprah the other day and i really like what she said abt her not getting married and all..She said that she does not need a man or marriage to define herself.. That phrase stuck with me.. I have a bigger world out there for me, a whole world of possibilities..
Today, on my way to netball training, i passed by the mosque and saw a lot of couples walking out from it.. it only meant that they had just attended Kursus Rumahtangga.. and most of them were ard my age.. it started to dawn on me.. Here i am going for my weekly netball pratice and goofing ard with the kids while they are attending a marriage prepatory lesson and taking such a major step in their life..
I would not deny that there were moments that i wished i have a boyfriend.. but there were times too that i wished i have Magnum Almond ice-cream with me.. but the difference is tat, the latter gave me more satisfaction.. hahah.. I dunno, maybe unconsciously i do hope to find my soulmate but till that day come, i shall focus on getting my arse to Europe and have a wonderful time..

Had a really tiring day yesterday.. i was out since morning chaffeuring my mum and aunt. We went to the cemetery to visit my grandma's grave and dropped by late Ibrahim's grave too.. didnt make it for the funeral so decided to visit it, besides it the next blk next to my grandma..
Went for brunch at Bestari and later sent my mum home before fetching my aunt to send her to a wedding before going to Geylang and made 3 other stops.. Its been quite sometime since i became a chaffeur.. so tiring, go here, go there.. and i just could not stop eating yday.. hmmmm.. there goes my dieting plans.. When i reached home, i was soooo tired.. didnt even watch tv or switched on the pc.. the moment my head touched the pillow, i was gone...
Oh ya!! Brokeback Mountain is finally showing in the cinema!! YAYYY!! And its rated R21, so im pretty sure they will not cut a lot of scenes.. And im afraid i will cry watching their love story.. So Fiq, if im going with you, better not laugh if i cry...

'O' Levels......
Congratulations to my dearest little cousin who managed to pass her 'O' Level!! The whole family was a nervous wreck since yesterday thinking abt her results.. When the clock struck 2.30pm, everyone was calling each other eagerly trying to get a scoop abt her result.. Alhamdullilah, her hard work this time round paid off.. AYU! You better study hard in poly!!!
After she informed me abt her results, the whole family decided to go to my uncle's house and help her decide on the courses.. We were like filtering every single eligible courses till we got to the final 12 which she was interested in or she thought she might be interested in.. tried to convince her to enter pre-uni centre to follow my footsteps in taking 'A' Level but too bad, she was not interested..
Once again, congrats!! Better study hard!!
Btw, u guys like my skin? Hehe.. My labour of love, frustration and definitely Fiq's annoyance.. Cant get the perfect skin? So i did it myself.. but not forgetting Fiq's help.. my panadol to IT headache.. For those who know me, u shld know that i am an IT-idiot, so to have made this skin, it was such an accomplishment for me.. Simple to others, but great to me.. hehe..

My Condolences..
A friend of mine passed away earlier.. and i felt really bad that i could not make it.. but what azza said is true, its my prayers for him that matters the most..
Moments like these makes me realise that life is short.. it does not matter if you are young or old, when God calls for you, you have to move on.. and moments like these makes me regret not getting to know a person well or did not try to remain in contact..
My prayers are with him..semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat.. ditempatkannya di antara orang yang dikasihi Allah dan mendapat ketenangan di sana.. Amin..

An Unorthodox Day at Work...
Today was the 1st day of going to work at 8.15am after such a loooonnnggg time.. was really reluctant to get out of the bed but what to do.. and was actually a bit late.. I met Faizal at the lobby while waiting for the rest.. Faizal had already gone up and the credit control told us that they would call when we are needed.. and so, we waited and waited..
When Tabrez finally arrived at ard 9am, we decided to get breakfast.. So there we were having breakfast while waiting for the call.. After the breakfast, we hung out at the cricular seats outside Raffles Tower while the guys smoked.. I was wondering to myself if that was what we were gonna do for the rest of the day.. Faizal had a bright idea to view this remote controlled toy plane that he wanted to buy.. So there we were wandering in Robinsons in the early morning while pple were still rushing to work and we were shopping instead.. After making the purchase, we headed down to the circular seat again and began work on the plane.. And thats when our adventures begun.. hahah..
The guys started to play with the plane and it was flying all over the place and there was once it landed beside the road, and thats when Shaipul came up with and ingenious idea to go to the Padang to fly the plane.. While making our way there, we decided to make a detour and headed for the open walkway beside the Cenotaph instead..
When we got there it was pure madness and laughter.. can u imagine 4 adults in the middle of the walkway flying a toy airplane.. and the passerbys were laughing and smmiling at us.. hehe.. some even stopped, looked and even helped us picked up the plane.. We took turns in flying the plane and when it was my turn, hehe.. it had a superb flight.. It was the longest flight among the boys but also the furthest one.. So much further that it landed on the road(the 2nd lane, to be more precise).. Luckily the werent too much traffic, Tabrez was such a hero-wannabe that he went on the road and stopped the lorry from crushing it... heheh.. lucky!
Then we decided to go further up, much more nearer to the Cenotaph to avoid unexpected emergency landing on the road.. I decided to just stand one side and let the boys have their fun.. There was once when Shaipul was flying the plane, the plane actually crashed into my rear end.. haha.. so i picked the plane up and threw it in the air and it took an unexpected detour and head straight to Tabrez's knee.. hahaha.. Ja, u should have been there lah!! U would cry endlessly!
The highlight of the afternoon was when Shaipul was flying the plane and it got stuck on the tree.. We were like thinking of any ideas on how to get it down.. we tried throwing a stick at it, shaking the tree and eventually climbing the tree and shaking it at the same time.. hahah.. and poor Faizal, he was the one doing the climbing.. After we managed to get hold of the plane, everyone were paranoid with red ants crawling inside out side cos there were ants on our shirt and pants.. heheh.. oh ya, the plane got stuck on the trees for abt 2 more times before we decided to change location..
We decided to just fly the plane at the open field behind the Cenotaph, in between Suntec and Raffles City.. heheh.. so funny.. The plane nearly landed on the road but Faizal managed to manuerve it safely to open field.. and i again flew the plane too high and got it stuck on a higher tree yet again! But luckily, there was a strong wind and the plane came tumbling down.. I was telling Faizal that his plane has 9 lives cos no matter what happened, it still came down fully intact..
At abt 1pm, we decided to go for lunch and during lunch, Tabrez decided to get himself a plane too.. After accompanying Tabrez to get his plane, we decided to just hang out at the lift lobby and wait for the long-awaited call from the credit control.. We were surprised when we reached the lobby, there were so many Traffic Police and Policemen at the lobby and there were several white Mercs parked outside.. We later got to know that India's President was in town.. We just sat down there and witnessed the whole team getting ready for the President.. And our unintended wait actually paid off when we got a glimpse of him.. After the whole spectacle, we decided to head home cos the long-awaited call didnt happen.. Wasnt my day at work fun?!
