I have not done any of  my workout routine for ages so im sure it has nothing to do with me being over trained but maybe i’m having the syndrome of being over trained on training the  team…LOL! Ada ka like that?

And my eye bag is getting darker by day, i’ve been sleeping on time ( ok, i lied but i have enough hours of sleep anyway) been covering my dark eye circle with concealer lately..i hate it! Wonder what eye cream brand could do the magic? Any suggestion ladies? I realize it got worse after my stay in JKT..sob sob. It got better but still the black line is more prominent now compared to last time..waaaaaaaaa..:(

Anyway, i just wanna share with you  peeps few shap shoot that i took  for the past few days when our dear skies was in “good mood”

Sunrise in the morning ..:D

Orange sun…

Morning glow

Love the color of the skies… this was taken on sunday evening

Can you see the multi colored skies forming a circle? Macam pusat

Can you see Genting Highland?  ;D Yup, sunday morning was the clearest ever… i could see Genting so clearly from our house balcony!

Sunset over Masjid Shah Alam.

Conversation..yea, everyone does that in daily life.. talk, talk, talk and talk… we can’t live without talking! That’s the fact! If not, no genius will create handphone or even house phone, right? But, nope im not gonna talk about telephone or handphone..but a weird conversation i had…yes, it was so weird to me that it made me think..are they for real or just being plain rude and insensitive?

My weirdest conversation happen when i was sent to Jakarta last june for training. It was lunch time. I was having lunch with 2 colleagues of mine. A girl and a boy. Both of them are younger then me. Rewind few days before the lunch incedent.. let’s name the girl J.

When i met J the first few days, she would not want to come and talk to me much.. i do not know why, but i put that as she is one shy girl. She would pass me by and gave me a quick smile and walk away..day in day out…the most she would ask me “mel, udah makan?” or How are you today mel… and that’s it .. nothing more nothing less. She is just that type of a person to me..doesnt do much talking and a real shy girl..

But all that changed when we had lunch.

You see, J didn’t came down with me to have lunch together..but so happen that there was no empty spot at the canteen and she was sitting all alone…i decided to join her and thought to myself..this will be an opportunity for me to get to know her better. First few minute of the conversation went well, she asked me “normal” questions but that all changed when the male colleague of mine decided to sit with us together….

J: Mel, mel pergi saloon selalu ya?

Me: No la..mel don’t go saloon (beauty parlour) often. Di Malaysia saloon mahal!  Tidak seperti di JKT..

J: Oh iya…tapi kenapa ketiak mel putih??? Mel pakai pemutih ketiak ya??

Me:  Gasp… Dumbfounded… taken aback….

What the hell! What kind of questions is this la??  I do not know how to react to it..be upset? laugh my ass out? or take that as compliment?

Me: I dont use any of those stuff.. i don’t believe in those product.

J: Tapi mel punya ketiak cukup putih…cantik… ketiak J hitam banyak tompokkan..jelek banget dan oleh kerana itu, J malu mau pakai singlet..

At this point, i could see she was actually looking at my armpit and the male colleague turn around and look at it too..OMG!! I was so malu and felt awkward terus ok… so happen on that day i was wearing sleeves top!!!i seriously do not know how to reply her back..

Thank goodness the male colleague of mine cut in and sort of stop the conversation…

He said: I think mel do not shave her armpit hair but instead she pluck it out..hence why  she do not have that razor bumps on her armpit-

Me: ‘Nod”

ask myself…she’s watching my armpit all this while???? WHY, WHEN and HOW?

J: ok….continue eating her lunch as if nothing happen…

I tell you that was one of the worse conversation i ever had in my whole life..dah la  I do not know her well, she asked me over lunch pula tu and it have to take place in front of a male collague whom i just get to know too!! OMG!!!

It really made me feel awkward… malu-fied ( yes, i was malufied ok) and geez… of cos offended!

I know she didn’t talk bad or meant ill towards me ..tapi .. takkan la kau tanya that kind of question to someone whom you just met like few days ago kan? Lagi lagi kalau tu orang kau punya manager and sort of your club guest…kalau dia tanya sia when im alone,  i don’t mind at all tapi… ni depan lelaki ba..astaga!!! Pengsan!

Btw, apparently she watched me whenever i lift my hands up to tie my hair  or while im working out!

Here’s some tips that might help,  if you are facing the same problem as J.  Good luck!

Shaving

While there is nothing wrong with shaving off hair from the underarm region, the underarm region does tend to get darker especially with Indian women, since they have black or brown hair. This hair is not pulled out from the roots and so it is often visible below the skin even after

Waxing
Waxing removes hair from

Epilating
If you feel you must remain hair-free on a daily basis, instead of

Ba, penat sudah sia cerita pasal underarm ni… baik you and i surf this site office furniture lagi syiok,

It felt like it happen only yesterday that i  got HITCHED officially and now looking back it’s  nearly two months since 18.07.09 ( few more days it’s going to be two month) .

Both of us was so busy right after the engagement..we didn’t really get to enjoy our new status  as newly “ENGAGED”  and now we are already on the roll with the wedding plan.  The only time we had for ourself to enjoy our newly engaged status was our Krabi holiday..LOL!

As soon as we got back from kk.. things just got into fast farward mode ( that’s how i felt) i have to study and prepare my training module, going into meetings after meetings and then straight on to conducting training after training. On top of that, every weekend now we have to do loads of travelling, checking  out wedding stuff, flowers, venues, cakes.. make up artist..etc etc and not to forget..i have RCIA class to attend. Wahahahahhaahah… FULL BLAST YO!

In month of october, we have wedding course to attend, Feb flying back to KK for wedding interview and  i guess when we are there.. another loads of stuff to check and see. I am lucky to have my sister Anitha to help me out with kk side wedding reception..if not..haha, im sure im gonna pull my hair out!  Not a pretty sight to see when the bride start pulling her hair isn’t it..LOL!!!

Ahh.. even writing this up made me feel “waaa..so banyak kerja” but im not alone… I have a strong support from my family back home, sister and brother is running the whole show there, im so lucky to have them as my siblings… kalau inda i have no idea how am i gonna deal with the whole situation i believe.

In Kl, i have Dan’s mom, brother and cousin  sister helping us out and of cos… my strong macho man Daniel.

Saw this NC short term health insurance, that reminds me..i need to get my insurance stuff done too soon. ah..another to do list..

The front view of the wedding gown which was posted at my earlier post.

I feel like i just ran through a steel buildings after the training today… urg..i hate that feeling, the feeling of being helpless, worried and not to mention emotionally hurt.

I was disappointed with the whole training session today, specially the morning session.   The more i get to know the team here.. the more worried i am. sigh.. i really feel like im in the Grid iron movie. The team lack of team spirit, respect and demotivated. Not to mention attitude issue.. sigh.  Everyone came to training with their own issue…

Although deep down in me, i am telling myself to hang on, be patience but other part of me.. irritated, getting emo and at the same time..feel sad to these trainers.

I wish i was given more time to get to know them better, at least training wont be so tough ( that’s how i think la) Breaking the ice with these trainer is so hard..specially when EGO is involved. They think that they are superb and don’t need anymore follow up training..sigh.

Oh well, i pray that i will be strong and lots of patience.

I wonder what else can i do to motivate these people, change their attitude and start respecting themselves? I see they have sooo much potential in them but the attitude covers all their good qualities. I wish they can see that in themselves.

This whole 3 weeks i will be busy training the new rookies in Celebrity fitness. Today was the first day of the training, It was an interesting training.. getting to know the instructors and at the same time trying to refresh my memory on PT’s too. Its been so long since i last visited PT department…LOL!

Day 1, i manage to keep everyone interested, i see smiley faces.. that’s a good sign for me  Thursday will be the second day of training.. this session will be more “interesting” as it goes deeper into personal training programs.I said interesting because…Hah, i have stopped giving PT session for more than 7 years now…i seriously do need to go back to basic again. ..Jeng Jeng Jeng.. i am nervous but i don’t mind the challenge. It will only help me grow, i believe. But the only thing im worried about is .. building the confident and trust with the trainers.. I can’t be looking lost and unsure all the time righht with the presentation?  Oh well, i just hope i can stuff every infomation needed into my brain before thursday.

Ah.. will see how it goes.

I guess i won’t be doing much of diet pill review now..since i will be  busy with the training..but if you are looking for one…just type diet pill review

P/s:  Go watch district 9 if youhaven’t done so!! It’s COOLLLLLL!!!

P/ss: Do you know if you wanna lose 1kg of your body weight you need to burn 7700 calories??!!

Our transportation to airport to hotel and vise versa.. included in our package. Taking Taxi will cost your 600 baht per way

This is the scenery you get to see in Krabi.. i like the bukit bukit or gunung gunung di sana..cantik!

Our hotel name..i recommend this place if you ever visit Krabi..:)

Our room

The balcony of our room..

The mat rempit of the year!!

Boat ride to the famous landmark/symbol of Krabi

The famous symbol..unfortunately..i can’t remember the name.

The cave.. my first cave visit. Interesting yet scary for me…LOL!

The dancing mangrove.

Stay tune.. more pictures will be uploaded..for now me wanna sleep..nite people.

As you all may already know, we spent our weekend at Krabi this time around as our post engagement holiday. It was really fun! I really enjoyed the short weekend trip.

We arrived on Friday afternoon only to be greeted by rainy, cloudy and windy weather. The hotel coordinator told us that the weather has been like that for the past few days and may last till weekend. My heart sank when i heard the news.As soon as we reach the hotel, we waste no time and went out to check Krabi Pranang beach area. Before we stroll down the beach, Dan suggested that we should rent a motorbike to go around town and head we go hunt for motorbike rental place. Five minute walk later.. we found the place. For 200 baht per day (rm20) and we have our own “superbike” to travel in Krabi.

I was kinda nervous at first when Dan start the motorbike, it was my first time riding bike with him and that was his first too after his accident 10 years ago, LOL!! But after a while, we both had fun, laughing and Dan’s making funny sound and comments while riding the bike…ah.. that was quite an experience for me..oh did i mentioned? I also pandai pandai start motorbike and rode for about 200 meter back and forth..heheh that was fun..but i dont think i will do that here in Malaysia. Sini scary la.

Anyway, on the second day weather was still  gloomy and our island trip has to be cancelled due to choppy sea and unpredictable weather. We decided to extend the bike rental and took a trip down to Krabi town about 30 km away from where we stayed. At town, we took a boat to I can’t remember the river name now but it was suppose to bring us to this famous Krabi landmark. Along the way, we stop at one spot where we were allowed to go into a cave..that was scary yet exciting for me.. i never been to a cave before in my whole life..so that was the first (again) for me.

After the cave trip, the boat man took us to canal of mangrove.. i see lots and lots of kayu bakau “menari”. The way the tree intertwined with each other…really look like they were dancing. But the first thing pops in my mind when i saw the mangrove  was the dogs that was thrown at pulau ketam i wonder what happen to those dogs… sigh.. i hope every single of them was rescued now.

After the boat ride, which cost us 300 baht each (rm30 per person for an hour) we were suppose to go and climb this tiger cave with 1200 steps! Yes, you read that right 1200 steps.. but hahahah..someone said..er.. lets cancel that one and just go to gastrpod fossil beach.. and hop we go to that beach..sampai sana…hmm it was kinda dull for us.. so we didnt want to waste another Rm20 per person just to see batu or siput kerang yg sudah bertahun lama di dalam laut and jadi fossils… so we just did bit of shopping and went back home straight to hotel.

All in all.. the trip was really relaxing,fun and enjoyable  despite being disappointed for not being able to go to Phi Phi island and enjoy the white sandy beach as how Leonardo Dicaprio get to enjoy it in his movie called THE BEACH.

Dan and i promise we will come back to Krabi again soon to enjoy the island next round.

For now, i need to check this fat burner out ;P

By the time you read this post i am already at airport on the way to Krabi for our 3 days 2 nights holiday ( if you are reading this tmrw morning, that is). I am excited yet at the same time worried. Excited cos it’s holiday means i dont have to work, worried because i have work bertimbun waiting for me here in Kl to settle I just hope i can enjoy this holiday. I have a loads to study before proceeding with the training that i am suppose to conduct for all the trainers here..pressure is on!

Anyway, these past few days has been a crazy day for me. I really had a busy week that i could not really attend to my blog and update it as often as before.. i have lost so much of my assignment due to my work schedule. Sampai rumah saja terus sia malas sudah..all i wanna do is rest and relax. sayang oh all my assigments tu…tsk tsk tsk.

Early morning on tuesday i had mild food poisoning..i think i have food poisoning. Early in the morning, i started vomitting but all that came out was yellow color fluid..and its so bitter! And then i start purging at around 9 am…sigh.. but i had to go to work.. because i have an important meeting to do.. i managed to hold everything back ( didn’t puke and purge) but towards the evening.. my head pula throbbing like hell! At one point, it was so painful that i really feel like puking again.. sigh..i have no idea why la. I think that was my migrain attacking.

Wednesday took an mc..went to clinic..Doc said, my tummy is full of gas but i have no idea what’s with my head…because that morning my head still throbbing … hmmm.. is it because of my period? I always have this weird sicknesses whenever i have my monthly visit..kenapa tu ar? Do you ladies experience the same thing?

Sigh.. any how.. i will continue with this on next round.. as its already 1am and i really need to sleep.. i seriously wanna know.. am i the only one experiencing  all this weird symptom?? Or is it normal??

Hmmm sidetrack sekejap… don’t you wish Malaysia too have a cool rv parks like those places in the west?? Heheheh.. i always wonder how it feels like to have a moving home must be fun ka? Boleh pigi picnic anywhere and everywhere without worrying much about building tents and all.

And oh… this trip … Dan and i will be travelling using the famous surgical mask! That will be our first…LOL!! Dan even said..we should address each other as Doctor Dan and Emelda and use the surgical gloves too!!  Wahahahah..i wonder what will the airport people say…Hmmmm…;P

I can’t afford to gain anymore weight.. kalau inda susah la sia mau kasih percaya orang yg sia ni rapid result training development coach for celebrity fitness and im gonna face the whole team tomorrow..adeh segan pula sia.. all my team semua fit fit ni..sia saja yg hmm lembik pressure betul..

Anyhow.. this is my second week working with celebrity fitness Malaysia.. so far so good.. i hope everything will go well.. i hope training will go smoothly and all trainers ok..i have not seen them in person yet  but i will tmrw. First step, is to get to know them, get some fedback before i proceed with the training… im still kinda lost with my new work, but im sure i will be ok once i get used to the system and all.

The only thing that im still trying to get used to even after 8 years in this industry is ..WAKING UP early in the morning!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Im sooooooooo not a morning person… sigh. Every morning i could hear Dan’s cheerful voice greeting me.. and here i am greeting him back with my grumpy voice..i would lay in bed as long as i can before i drag my butt out to the shower room..kalau sia masih budak kecil lagi now..im sure i would have cried and throw pillows on the floor showing my tantrum in the morning…LOL! Yea, yea..i’m a spoil brat…. but hey.. i never actually had the luxury to sleep in till late in the morning ok since i was 7 years old… day in day out..5:30am sharp, i have to wake up and go for my swimming training sudah..only now after leaving Sabah and stay on my own..sia dapat that luxury..tapi tu pun bukan all the time. sob sob.. i cant lay in bed the whole day cos i have 1 big baby to jaga..and another one fury lil cute thing waiting for me t greet her in the morning. Hey..jadi perempuan ni susah juga kan?? Kenapa la lelaki inda bulih jadi pregnant ar?? kan baik kalau diorang boleh..mungkin they will be bit more sensitive kan?? wahahah ..totally out of topic ni ni hari..

Hmm..ba ok la.. cukup la sia merepek inda tentu pasal today.. im too tired ba ni.but i have tonnes of assignment menunggu untuk di clear kan dalam inbox sia..so baik sia merepek daripada duit sia terbang!!!

Ba ok la..nite nite everyone!

Can you guess how much does this food and drink cost me in Jakarta? If you have been following my post about Jakarta, im sure you will be able to guess the price…. roughly.

Nothing is cheap when it comes to mall food court and not knowing many places where i can get food that similar to Malaysia food. i don’t have much choice but to have my lunch and dinner at mall food court. I wish i had someone bringing me around though..unfortunately…no one was free..sob sob….

But one thing i love about JKT mall food court is their cleanliness!!! It’s wayyyyyyyyy cleaner than Malaysia mall food court…seriously..even their toilets..OMG!!! I think i can even walk kaki ayam in the loo and not feeling disgusted at all, LOL!! And oh…I love the fresh fruit juice too.. its so pure and yummy! Wish i can find one place here in Malaysia where they serve 100% pure juice…no sugar, no ice and less water…hmmm yummy!! Anyone out there know where i can get this??

Anyway, if you are looking for Outer Banks rentals for your holidays outside of Malaysia, just hit the highlighted “note” . I wish i can go to one of the houses…but ….. it would be awesome if i could rent one of the houses there for my honeymoon or even my wedding venue…;) but hmm..mimpi saja la Mel….LOL!

this is not a Christmas party invitations…but if you wanna checked out just that..then i suggest click the link given.

I forgot my handphone back in my apartment..decided to asked the taxi driver to make a u turn and drive me back to the apartment. To my surprise ..he was very unhappy about it..he even sigh loudly showing his “happiness” to me.. i thought that was really rude of him.

Exactly 10:45am, after leaving my apartment again…he made a big bang sound in the car..i was shocked, he was hitting his stering wheel few times and started cursing! I thought that was really really rude of him to do so.. i wanted to asked him is everything ok when suddenly…i saw this…

I  was stunt, scared and panicked! I thought it was a riot and at that point suddenly the image of my mom, dan and gummi flashed in my head..i thought im gonna be gone in that  sea of people and motor bikers….

Not until the cab driver started saying..this is why i was rushing just now..i wanted to escape from this crowd..its Jakarta election day tomorrow and today is the last day for the supporter to do their campaign…i was relief upon hearing that news…but still not good enough to make my nerve calm down. Along the way to FX mall, i was really alert of my surrounding..i was really worry that  a riot might just start out of nowhere…

You will understand it if you were in my shoe..LOL! In Malaysia, campaign was not done this way..so that really my first… my cab was surrounded by bikers..with flags.. small placard.. music blasting  from the bike saying UNDILA SBY ( something like that) and the whole bikers came with coordinated t-shirt colors! OMG..to me it really look like a riot and im stuck right in the middle of it! My heart beat was racing..seriously! And to calm myself down..i texted Daniel..but unfortunately..Dan being Dan…he replied to me in a very naughty way…LOL!!

The 15min rides turn to be 45 minutes cab ride for me..and i dont have to mentioned la how much teh cab cost me on that day…LOL! It was a BOMB! LOL!!

Apparently, the traffic jam and the campaigner will go even more crazier towards the evening…. there will be more supporters on the road.. more cars.. more bikers ..more buses..all transporting the supporters to the stadium next to FX mall…and that’s exactly what happen in the evening… but to the locals… this was nothing! It used to be even MORE crazier…. “gasp”

This was around 3-4pm in the evening…pictures was taken from the gym lounge area.

And this was around 5pm….

I was thankful to God that nothing bad happen that day.. jakarta was safe although to me.. that could just start something nasty and that was one of  my most unforgetable experience while being in Jakarta

Bajai transportation, imported all the way from India!

Kedai kecil kecilan di lorong lorong jalan, something we wont see in Malaysia.

Grafiti…it’s everywhere!

Kids playing on the street…Yes..itu salah satu jalan keluar masuk motor@ speeda di kawasan Tiong!

My apartment is surrounded with this type of houses

And the house with the tree…masih pakai air telaga! Eh telaga ka tu kau panggil?? Or perigi?? Sia lupa..See how sempit is the pemisah between two houses??

The famous MACET as how locals call it, we call it traffic jam!!! You get this as early as 2pm in Jakarta!

Motorcyle stop at the tepi jalan..tapi jangan salah anggap ni la…OJEK!! One of their public transportation here

And this uncle on bicyle..goes around selling coffee..instant coffee for those people who is waiting for busses to go home! This is what i call innovative and creative!! Instant coffee everywhere..:P

Oh yea, can you find any Ferrari parts in the pictures??  heheheheeh..cuba cari

Friday, exactly 7 more days from today i will be done and over with Jakarta life and i will start my new journey in KL. Im am so happy and excited about this but at the same time worried and nervous about it. Im not so sure if my training here did gave me enough confident and knowledge to bring it down to the trainers back in KL. I do hope i have though.

It was hard for me here in Jakarta. That’s the truth..i did enjoyed the time here (people are warm and friendly) but at the same time i had fair amount of “sufferings” as well .

First it was the food..i had hard time adjusting to the food here. Food that was familiar to me back at home was really costly here in Jakarta, cheap food means i have to take the local dish which honestly doesn’t really go well with my taste bud. Then came the language.. this was the toughest part for me. Because of the language barrier, i had hard time trying to understand the training module, speaking to the local and getting around town. You may think they understand us Malaysian but that’s not true..our language is different from them! So if you are coming down to Jakarta..i  suggest that you get a good language book in hand in case you don’t know any local here! Our pronounciation and the way we say it is totally different from them! We may have some word similar but mostly..nope!

Jakarta city offer you alot of shopping malls  and most of them are as big as Pavillion back in KL and barang barang sini pun inda la murah sangat. I can say, it’s similar to what kl can offer you and since price doesnt differ much from kl, i  didnt shop for the first time in my oversees trip.

Jakarta is a metropolis city. Offices was build on sky high building, huge, tall and beautiful! (rental pun sia dengar cantik juga ) But malangnya, the houses here are so scattered that it looks so messy and almost.. menyakitkan mata (i think they need the Outer Banks homes agency to help them )  and the road condition in this housing area really reminds me off jalan Ranau to Sandakan… betul betul rosak cuma beza dia ..you get this di dalam perumahan jakarta di tengah tengah bandar and bukan di kampung.

Im sure by now, you guys know that Jakarta is not the cleanness city you can ever get. Orang sini buang sampah merata rata tempat!  Once i was in a cab on the way to one of the club, the cab driver senang saja buka window trus buang sampah dari dalam kereta like its not a big deal ( memang pun its not a big deal for them but i was so shocked) and another time, i was walking with one of my colleague here..tengah syiok syiok bercerita.. he just spat right there and then in front of me!  I was speechless when that happen..sia kegelian trus, LOL! Mau tell him off..but hmmm.again i don’t think its unusual thing for them.

Yup, thats how i see Jakarta… You may see it differently from me..but hey, we are not the same people right?

But one thing i love about Jakarta is the people… they are so nice warm and lovely! I guess that will be the one thing that i will miss the most about this beautiful yet crazy place the warmed and friendly smile of Jakartan’s!

Anyhow,  some of you have asked me is it worth to come and visit Jakarta..of cos i would say yes! Come and see the place yourself..experienced it! You need to do that to know the place yourself…don’t take my words 100% ..again like i said..we may see it differently tapi i won’t recommend it if you wanna come here alone for a longggggggggg holiday! LOL!!

Do you know that apedixin, fenphedra among others is a natural appetite suppressants? Apparently they are the best in diet pills in the market now… hmmm…..there’s even a pill that can make you loose weight and at the same time increase the size of a women’s breast! How crazy is that?? LOL! i don’t mind trying that one …hahahaha…as long as the size doesnt go to Pamela Anderson size la…i think i can handle it…wahahahhaha.

Anyway, back to the real post..enough crazy stuff..i dont need diet pills anyway..i just need to workout. LOL!

Have you ever wonder where have all your friends gone too? What happen to them, where they are now, how are they doing and all?

I Do…i wonder where have all my “friends” gone too… it’s like they have vanished into thin air..although, occasionally i do bumped onto them in the mall…but thats about it…they dont make an effort to call, dont make and effort to turn up to any of the function that i invited them to go…nothing! I wonder should i call them to my wedding when i get married? Are they worth the pain and money??

“Pain= to remember their names, Money= sending the invitation card and not to mention the dinner course on the wedding day”

It’s very disappointing and not to mention PAINFUL to know that we were once very close but now its more like out of sight, out of mind friendship.  I’ve made an effort to call them…to catch up with them..but it seems like..im the only one who is keeping up with the effort,..i am the only one who gets excited whenever i bumped onto them in the mall.Sigh.

I really wonder what made them change, is it because im not married yet?  Is it because i do not have kids yet? Is it because im no longer needed or is it because i am not marrying someone rich and famous and my circle of friends  is not from the famous people group? WHAT IS IT??

Geez…sometimes i can’t help but wonder…what was the friendship based on in the first place….SICK i tell you.

I need money…i need money..i need money…YES, I NEED MOOLAH!!!! Although i know moolah is coming to visit me soon but that will only happen in 4 weeks time from now..and then all that moolah will again be “invested” in the bank.. ARGGGGG..dang it..we work to pay only for the  freaking damn debts…arg…well that at least for me now..i need to catch up with what ever that i did not pay for the past few months..1st thing that i need to pay off is MY CAR..my beloved car. 1 more year to go and im done paying that car installment and im debt free (at least for the car la) so sayang la if i let the car go..although i have thought about selling it off..but hmmm..tak sampai hati juga.

Earlier this month, i went to the bank to apply for their so called super fast debit card approval..hahaha…that was just a freaking lie.. its almost 3 weeks now..i still haven’t heard from them so i decided to call the HQ yesterday..guess what??? The application is still in process!!! WTF! Now, im worried …will they decline my debit card application? They shouldn’t right? Because after all its my money in the bank, unlike credit card…Hmmm ntah la. Kalau this tak approve juga..pengsan la me..i’ve been keeping and saving all my hard work money from blogging to use for my trip back to kk which is only 6 weeks away from now (i think its 6 week) and without that money…waaaaaaaa..i memang kering macam ikan masin la ni bila sia balik kk… dang it! MONEY MONEY MONEY…isk! So menyusahkan..with you pun susah without you pun susah! With you i can get what ever i want like discount lingerie or some cute lil stuff… tapi bila over spent pula, mampus kering balik..bila kering… makan roti kering sajala…isk! Balik lagi sia jadi ikan kering…waaaaa…

Kering ,kering ,kering…sigh.

Anyway, this weekend i hope it will be a better weekend for me not like last week, .. i really need to go out this weekend to get stuff for my trip back to kk…maybe not buying it(yet) but just do price comparison… i don’t think i have enough time when i start with the new work.. my weekend will be taken away. Yea i work weekend but im hoping that this coming interview (friday) will be a good news for me..it’s something that im really looking forward for and i hope im hired. Please, please Lord have mercy on me ..please give me this job, i want the job.

Oh dear, im excited and  nervous at the same time.

Hmm, i guess that’s all for  now..need to do some house chores and do myself a Chappati for breakfast Yes, i can do chappati from scracth! Hehehehe…thanks to Dan’s mom, my cooking improved! Ah..maybe on my next post, will show you guys how i did my chappati for the first time…i had a good laugh at myself!

Yes, in high school bendera jepun means “I am having my period now”. Have you heard of that term before? Some called it “sister” some called it “berdarah” which is normal and common… but according to Dan’s blog.. it’s called MAD COW DISEAESE…LOL!! Sia rasa ada kebetulan juga la tu term..

Yes, i am having my period now..and yes my hormones is driving me nuts…specially this month! Not only it was delayed for 10 freaking days (last month was worse it was 12 days behind!) but it made me go coo coo…like for instance..last saturday towards the evening..i just wanted to cry..and cry..and cry… im feeling really low and sad ni..tiba tiba ja. And then sunday… hahahah..i was at my angry mode..yup Dan kena berabis..sampai inda kena masak dinner… i was in bed the whole day reading and sleeping tu ja sia mau buat..i don’t even want to talk to Dan..Sia gerigitan nampak dia and i was super sensitive..sikit sikit marah ar..

Gummi is also on heat…she is also moody but not as bad as mine la…To prevent her marking the floor in the house with her blood..i bought her baby diapers… yes..she is now on baby diapers..

Last weekend, i bought her to Dan’s family house for a visit, apa lagi si Shaggy excited ni.. He justt could not stop sniffing gummi’s end(typical male)..Gummi was so irritated that she ended up snapping at Shaggy… At last..dengan sedihnya si Shaggy went and hide himself at one corner..refuse to come out even when he was called…kecundang seribu kali,LOL!!  He tried climbing on her few times…tapi all he get was “get off from me!!” from gummi.

See….Guys, don’t mess with women when they are having their period..silap haribulan ada kena halau keluar dari rumah inda tentu pasal kau tidur di dalam kereta..:P

Anyway, since we are in this topic..i wanted to ask my Muslim’s friend out there… betul ka you have to wash your used sanitary pad before you throw them away in the bin??? Making sure that all the blood stain removed from the pad then u are allowed to throw them away.. ..??? If you practice this in the jungle ..yes i would understand that 100% but di bandar??

Can you tell me? I find this somewhat..interesting yet crazy and doesn’t make sense..why do we have to clean our used sanitary pad when its meant to be dirty…Can’t we just wrap it with paper or tissue paper and put it in the plastic bag..and throw it in the bin..isn’t that good enough?Asalkan inda terexpose tu “pampers”? Cukup sudah ba tu kan? NO?

I was surprise to know this from a friend of mine last month. She is a Muslim and she said all Muslim ladies practice this… and her explanation to that was..takut hantu ambil tu pad and hisap tu darah and she still practise this till now…

I think its yucky and unhygienic to step on your sanitary pad specially when you are doing it in the PUBLIC TOILET. Erkkkk @-@!

Anyone out there still practice this??

I had an early start today

Woke up at 8am. Did my house chores, Sweep and mopped the floor, did my laundry, fed gummi, clean her “toilet” tray, Clean her eyes ( yes, i need to do this every morning. She is suffering from dry eyes ) and lit few home frangrance oil around the house…and now, the house smelling real good..me likey!

I was suppose to do my workout yesterday but Dan said postpone it to today..he was so tired from work ..wait rephrase that again. He was so tired the whole day yesterday because he woke up at 3am to watch football game and could not go back to sleep after that..so he end up sighing, tossing and turning in bed for 2 hours! Which of cos,irritate me a few time sebab everytime he turn, whole bed bergoyang! (I’m a light sleeper)

Dah tu, the past 2 days pun i didn’t have peaceful sleep cos on Monday..kuat sangat angin here in Shah Alam..my wind chime was was making so much of sound that it not only woke me up but scare the hell out of me..macam taufan pula sia rasa and then i have to come outside to save Daniel’s pants from flying to the ground floor. Not only i got wet..i went to sleep with the hujan juga…LOL! Malas sudah mau lap badan..tidur terus.

On Tuesday..just as i was about to go into deep sleep,suddenly i hear this loud crashing/banging sound coming from the next room(i thought it was from the next room). I panicked!! U know how it feels like to be awaken by loud sound and you are so disorientated  that you just couldn’t think what to do or what to think? Yes, that’s exactly how i was last Tuesday, i woke up and sat on my bed for few second and think “shit that’s it, someone is in the house!”  then again  “don’t be silly Emelda, you are on the 12th floor how in the world can someone come in into the house?”  Dengan mata separuh buka..i open our bedroom window, peep to the next room,close my window back land on my pillow and went straight to my sleep…bagus kan me? LOL!!

While drifting back to my la la land…i still can hear that loud crashing and bangin sound..i can hear them talking… and every now and then i can hear their footsteps then it hit me …..that’s actually my neighbour argueing in the wee morning….

Laaaaaaaaaa…. buang tidur sia saja…

My top floor neigbour have this weird habits..diorang ni suka berlari-lari di tengah tengah malam buta around the house ..love to drag furnitures around , love their toilet so much that they have to visit the loo like every few minutes ( i can hear the door goes..krik,kruk,krik,kruk) How irritating is that???!!! To make matter much more interesting… you can hear all this activity loud and clear only in our MASTER BEDROOM everytime after 10pm, arggggggg!! I so wanna shoot my neighbours ass!!

I dont know who is occupaying that top floor though..cos all this while i only hear adults voice talking but never kids voice..but that running around and dragging furniture/things around the house sounded like small kids doing..hmmm..interesting..could it be them the adults? Transformed themselves into kids everytimes after 10pm?? Maybe, maybe…..itu sebab they can’t think kan?? LOL! LOL! LOL!

Whatever it is..i wish i have a better neighbour than the current one

Hmm..ba ok la..i got to go..have a nice day peeps.

Are you looking for low cost car insurance ? Click the link

I got this email forwarded to me by a friend of mine. Im not sure how true it is…but if any of you have encountered this, do tell us..

If you look at the first picture, im sure you will be thinking what the hell is wrong with the picture right?? But look at it properly…you will be surprise!

Can you see now?? See the top part of the receipt…..

Table no(ok,nothing unusual)…. No Person(ok)…but RACE??

Shocked??!! Me too… i never knew Pizza hut categorize their patrons by races! Bloody Hell!!

This was the email message that was forwarded to me…

Hello everyone. I have some interesting news.
I was in Pizza Hut (Sunway Pyramid) yesterday and suddenly my friend showed me the bill.
The bill contains normal things la (number of person, bill. number and what is ordered). But, what shocked me is that they had space called ‘ RACE ‘ .I guess since we were all wearing tudung, they labelled us as 0, which means MALAY. Later, when we went to pay…we had no service charge and no tax charge.
Still in shock, I peeped into another bill in the counter. In that bill, under the race space, it was labelled as C (which I guess means  Chinese). That bill had service and tax charges!!!
I started investigating. One of my Sri Lankan friends was labelled as Indian it seems and she also had to pay service and tax charges a few weeks back. What I ‘ m wondering is that…does anyone know about this? I find it rather strange that they charge service and tax charge using race in Pizza Hut, out of all the places!

WE SHOULD NOT GO EAT AT PIZZA HUT!

I agree to the last statement, DO NOT EAT IN PIZZA HUT  if  the above statement is true…

Domino’s rule!!

By the way…pizza hut is not the best diet supplements anyway

There is something wrong with this sign don’t you think?? Or is it just me???

If we do not throw toilet paper in the toilet bowl…then where?? That blue bin provided is not dustbin but bin for used sanitary pad!

Tsk, tsk, tsk..can you imagine what will happen if a tourist lady saw that sign?? mesti pening sekejap kan dia?? LOL! Kesiannnnnnn….

Ni la ni kalau “engrand” speaking too advance,LOL!

Ba kau mencari bed frames ka?? Kalau iya, check tu link.

WARNING: ANGRY POST AHEAD…WORDS SELECTION CAN BE HURTFUL TO SOME.

I believe you have been through interviews   If you never..then you must be very lucky ..that you got a job without having to go through the crazy procedures.

I personally hate interviews, specially those really formal interview (where no smile allowed, No jokes allowed ,only serious face)…lately my luck of bumping into these stupid interviews kinda flowing in like water…sigh…i felt like i just wasted my time so muchhhhhh…for instance like these ones:

NOTE: I will only tell you the worse one, well at least to me.

Feb 09: Media company in Kelana Jaya

Interviewer: The Company owner

Interview scheduled at 11am..he came in only at 11:45am.  ( I hate waiting) He walked into the interview room and start asking questions,after so much time wasted at the end..not only i felt stupid but i also felt humilated.

1- He didn’t do his job. He basically didnt go through my resume, but just checked my previous job title and company without checking my experience and how long have i been with the company. He even said, oh i thought you have been working with the company for about a year or so when i have clearly i have mentioned it at my resume i have only 5 months experience in Event management.

2-  Next he said im too old to learn new things…people at my age shouldn’t be learning new things anymore but should just stick to what i was doing before (for goodness sake… is there an age limit to gain experience and learn new things?)and that i should just be housewife and care for the house and husband only. Im like WTF!!!Im soooo pissed at his STUPID STATEMENT…i wish i could just tell him… if you dont want to hire me , you shouldn’t have asked me to come all the way here and waste my freaking time!

3-And then he asked me why don’t i try applying in the entertainment industry… Im like..what the hell is wrong with this person?? Asked me to come here and then asked me to go and try entertainment industry pula?? Dah tu, he repeats this over and over and over again….ok, ok..i get the hint! I dont get this freaking job..He should have the balls to just be honest with me..don’t have to waste my time kan?

Guess that is why his company is still at that level despite being in this line for almost 10 years now…padan muka dia!

All in all, not only i wasted my time, petrol and toll money, i felt humilated,angry and irritated, specially when he said im too old to learn new things and his belief that at the age of 27 i shouldn’t be learning new stuff anymore but should just stick to what i was doing or just become a TAI TAI at home! URGGGG…i hate time waster! I guess you know the result, i was not hired. BECAUSE  27 IS TOOOOO OLD TO LEARN NEW THINGS!

March09 : Sport Club in Klang

Interviewer: Sport and recreactional manager( bull dog woman), Hr manager(dumb one) and another manager ( the quiet one)

Interview was suppose to happen at 7pm..everyone was late(the interviewer that is). I didnt know that i have 3 judges in front of me..i thought this would be one on one interview. I never like 3 versus 1 interview or 2 versus 1..i always prefer 1 on 1 interview. More personal and not too intimidating…3 lawan 1, makes me feel like im being interogated by policemen for some crime i did..

This interview, i think talking to a wall is sooooo much better than talking to these clowns…seriously! Let me tell you why…

7:15pm

Hr Manager and Quiet Manager “This nick name suits them very well”

Talking to them is like you playing tennis in a big open court all by yourself and still somehow hoping that the tennis ball will bounce back to you automatically,LOL! Basically what im trying to say here is that the question and answer session was like a dead conversation. It is just one way ticket! Can you imagine how boring is that? And this is coming from a SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB MANAGER AND HR??!!! I guess that tells you why the club is LITERALLY DEAD!

7:30 pm

BULL DOG woman came into the interview room LATE!

She doesnt smile,her face was soo fierce,ense,unfriendly and arrogant and she gives you this feeling “she knows everything and she is the best” She was already 30 min late for the interview , didnt have time to go through my resume but she act like she knows it all and sounding very bossy. Again, may i remind you readers…this is SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB ya… you would expect Sport and recreactional manager to be toned and fit…but hahahahahhahahahahahah..this manager doesnt look anything like sport manager but more like MAKAN sport manager…GEMUK!

Her favourite questions: What is your expected salary and what can you contribute to the company? OK questions, right?

But i want you to imagine this, someone who came in late, didnt have time to read your resume, but act like she knows it all, looked down at you, treat you like you have no experienced in fitness or sport industry which clearly you have ( maybe even more than hers) and gives you this one irritating look that you wish to just pull her eyeballs out from her eye socket…would you like it ? On top of that …love to give you hanging questionaire… how would you react to it?

She asked me the same question( questions above) TWICE in space of  10 mins!

Bull Dog said: About the salary, i saw that you wrote here RMxxxx, what if i say i can’t afford to pay you the amount you asked for?

Me: I understand,  hence why i wrote there, its negotiable.

Bull Dog: So how much are you willing to be paid for if i can’t afford to pay you the amount.

Me: Well, depends on how much can you offer me, i wouldn’t want to say yes without  knowing how much can YOU offer me. ( i smile at her, but in my mind i cant help but think… she really need some sexercise and let that blood flow into her brain again)

Bulldog: Like i said i cant pay you the amount, so how much are you willing to get?? ( sounding irritated)

Me: Well i was hoping that you could put down a price and will see from there and maybe we can negotiate??

“no answer from bulldog”

Me: Rmxxxx would be the min.

Bulldog.silent for while and then asked.

Bull dog: What can you contribute to the company if we bring you in here?

Me: Well, it depends.  What do you mean by contribute. In what ways..sales? Sports? events?management??

“No answer from bulldog so i decided to go on”

I can definitely generate more club revenue by giving you more classes, sports activities, bla bla bla….(of cos i didnt say bla bla bla in interview, malas mau type) This will keep your members active and happy. By doing so, more happy members, more introductions to the club..means more members for us to recruit.

Bulldog woman went silents… she seems to be thinking or processing what i’ve just said to her..maybe she is trying to copy that idea and make it her idea kut…entah la..

Dumb HR and queit Manager turns to asked me questions, again i feel like im playing tennis all alone in an open court without any opponent.  How sad…. “krik, krik, krik”

Suddenly bulldog cuts in the conversation

Bulldog:  So what is your expected salary???

Me: “In my heart” What??!!! Didn’t i just answer dumbo that questions, how irritating is this?? At last i said, well you need to tell me what is the price that you can offer so i can tell you from there.. i can’t be saying RMXXXX but you still cant pay me..why don’t we negotiate and see from there..after all thats what nego is all about.

Bulldog: How about RMxxxx?

Me: Sorry, i wont take that offer as i am worth more than that. ” I have freaking 8 years experience and bulldog only giving me some fresh graduate amount of salary???!!! Would you take it if it was you???”

Bulldog: Since you say you are worth more than that, what can you contribute to the company?

Me: “in my heart”  Is she deaf or just plain dumb?? mannnn she really needs some SEXERCISE……. i am totally irritated at her already…

Me: Erm…i believe i have answer that question ealier on, but maybe you didnt get it. Perhaps you could tell me exactly what do you mean by” what can i contribute to the company?”?  Since it is obvious that my first answer was not the answer that  you looking for…Is it on the sales department?

Bulldog: No….

“Krik, krik, krik”

me: Ok then, since i do not know your club enviroment or members, i would not want to act like some smart pants here and simply change everything….i would stick to my answer earlier on.. i would offer more activities for your members I.E. family day, sports day, more earobic classses with certified instructors so on and so forth. Since this is a SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB… it is only right to have more activities for your members to join and have fun and it should be done at least 3 months once not once a year…”looked at bulldog, trying to hint to the queit manager that she needs to get her fat ass moving and exercising if not sexercising!”

Hr manager nad queit manager: Nods and smile…not to the sexercising part but to my idea of having activities plan all the  time.

At this point..i dont give a damn about the job anymore..i dont care if im politically right or what ever you call it..but i was ready to berperang mulut with this BULLDOG  lady speaking with some stupid slang on…URG!!!

To BULLDOG,

CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Not only you proved you are one big fat bossy,arrogant manager..but you also prove to me that you are one dumb boss to work with….

Right there and then i told myself..even if they would offer me this job..i would turn them down 100% unless if bulldog is no longer working with that company,i may reconsider. ENOUGH working with THICKOS.

I think checking  what’s Outer Banks rentals about is better than thinking about them now..
