there goes..

i got a called from my 'future' house-mate to say that he might not be able to move in this month. he'd like to postpone it to after hari ra-ra! hmm. whatever-lah. im kinda sad cos i was expecting him to be around during the fasting month. but, i guess there goes the plan of having someone to talk to at home. huhu. back to square one, im talking to the wall again. hehe.

... it doesnt really matter-lah. not a big deal pun. its just an idea. i still can get by with or without kawan serumah. 8-)

oh ya! remember back in July, where i sat for this exam thingy. i passed. i actually passed and get myself certified. cool. when i reached at my desk (at work) this morning, i saw this A4 envelope with my name on it. there's this logo on the envelope that looks rather familiar but i didnt quite recall where i've seen it. huhu. nways, i took my sweet time and i finally opened it. OMG! its the result from the exam that i took in July and it said CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE PASSED THE EXAMINATION! wow! i just couldnt believe it. im sure someone has put the result on my desk. so i immediately logged on to my e-mail and looked out for that particular e-mail. yes! found it. out of 16 staff that sat the exam, only 10 passed. and i was one of the 10 people. its just so cool and awesome. YES! YES! YESSS!

the result has really made my day. today, despite i had this half-a-day long-winded programme, i still had fun. i still enjoyed my Thursday.

GOD, thanks so much for today!

invitation to watch that ' love machine'

im not much of a movie-go-er but today, i might go and watch myself that 'love machine' movie - Wall-E with jai, md amid and hisham - my three best colleagues! huhu.

i've read mus' review, very intriguing. im gonna get myself some 'loves' and bring it home to BS. hehe. perhaps, later in the evening i'd be making 'love'. opps..!

*lets make love and not war* - jom?

little-kitchen and durian

after work, yesterday i went to carefour sj with jai. since gaji dah masuk, huhu.. i bought myself some additional 'stuff' for my little-kitchen, again. yes! believe it or not, i spent over rm100 for 'em. it was a good buy, though. hehe. thanks jai for being there and helping me out buying and choosing the right 'stuff'. cool. now my little-kitchen is kinda full with 'stuff' that i've bought and i did some re-arranging last nite right after i came home. but still i need few things. emm. i guess they can wait. i could buy 'em later-lah. most importantly, i dont want to spend too much money for my 'kitchen-department'. huhu.

today was good. had lunch with jai and md amid at this place called 'metro'. quite a nice place as it offers a variety of malay dishes. ada ikan bakar, all the 'malay' lauk-pauk, ulam-ulaman, sambal belancan, tempoyak dan loads of other sambals lagi ar. mmg best. but we seldom go to 'metro' as its a 10-minutes drive from our office. so, kalau ada urusan jek we all will stop by for lunch. :-O

on the way back, we were guffing and talking about buah durian. i must say that jai and md amid, are durian lovers. huhu. good for them. unfortunately, im not into durian. hmm. strange but true. i never liked durian since i was a kid. you could ask my parents and siblings about this. dont get me wrong, i dont hate durian nor im playing 'classy' nor 'kekwat' or anything like that. i do eat 'em but for about 2-3 ulas jek. thats it. i guess i dont quite enjoy the taste of it. i dont mind the smell tho'. hehe. so anything that has durian flavour in it, is definitely not my cup of tea. im sorry guys - no pulut durian and ice-cream durian for me. tapi klu you invite me to your house, and you're having a durian buffet, of course i'd eat 'em but i wont enjoy myself that much la kot. 8-)


i dont know what im missing ey? *sigh*

dapur gas & electric kettle

lunch time was fun. huhu. dashed to Mydin with md amid and jai. cheers guys for accompanying me this afternoon. since ramadhan is just around the corner, i decided to by dapur gas and electric kettle for my little-kitchen. hehe. this definitely come in handy. from tonite onwards, i can always make myself a cup of hot coco and instant maggie mee. yess! thanks to gedung Mydin for selling the goods at the cheapest price ever. totally! 8-o

still waiting for my new house-mate to move in. he's supposed to bring his stuff this week. cool. i dont know why but im pretty excited. huhu. i guess, knowing the fact that i wont be talking to the walls anymore; it 'excites' me a lot. haha.

again, jemput la mai umah! heh...

UTN 1 - Loughat el Ain لغة العين

i just saw top10@artlebanon.com on ch-111. i fell in love with this UTN 1's song - Loughat el Ain. i think it's at no 5 this week. hehe. it sounds so malay and catchy. i like!




UTN 1 - iraqi pop band

.. at least this song cheers me up a bit!

where are you?

where are all my friends when i need 'em?
when i moved to my new crib, i thot they're gonna come and visit me
its been more than 30 days
but none came by
just to say hi..!

where are my close friends, when im lonely?
when i plan to see them, they already made other arrangements
oh.. im working this weekend!
oh.. im doing this and that at the moment!
oh.. im with friends!
oh.. im going outstations!
oh.. i'll see you later!
left me wondering and thinking
what to do and where to go?
have they forgotten me?

where are you my dearest friends, when i need you?
am i that far away?
that you decide not to come here to see me?
why do i always have to go to there?
to your place?
why can't you come and visit me instead.. just once?

where are you my buddies, when im feeling bored?
i guess, i am all forgotten
i guess, im fading away
i guess, im not needed anymore

where are all my friends when i need 'em?
when i moved to my new crib, i thot they're gonna come and visit me
i guess, i was wrong
i guess, moving to the new place was not a great idea after all
i guess, im a bit too far for 'em now
i guess, bkt subang is not as 'hip' as KL or uptown
i guess, with that i understand

so here i am, my truely friends
in this lonely 'land'
far away from the 'happening' places
far away from your homes sweet homes
its really sad and frustrating to know
that my best friends have long gone
leaving me all alone

so here i am, without you by my side
i'll be fine
i'll be alright
alone...
in this place i called home!

thank God its the weekend

ellen degeneres is one of my all time favourites stand-up comedian. i've seen her first time on TV back in '96-97 (lebih kurang ar..) when TV3 aired the 'Ellen' sitcom. it was one of the witty, quirk and funny sitcoms ever. i fell in loved with 'Ellen' instantly. huhu. in one of her shows, she came up with this funny acronym - TGITWE (she pronounced it as 'th-git-we'). she wanted to create something new since TGIF was too common. but of course, it didnt work. her friends ignored her totally as they thought the acronym sounded weird and stupid. haha. unfortunately, 'Ellen' was banned (only in Malaysia) after it was shown for couple of years. :-(

so, thats basically what 'Ellen' is all about. she showcased the versatility of one of the best comedians of the 90s. she exhibited the combination of physical comedy of a modern day lucille ball and dry wit descended from jack benny. the result was hillarious. she still is funny. always make me smile when i see her on her talk show - The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

i think ellen, in away, follows the foot-step of Oprah. giving away money, gifts and all of that good deeds for the public and her audiences. cool stuff. Oprah did say - "the more you give, the more you will get back". i absolutely and totally agree with her. i'd definitely do the same if i have loads of money. hehe. insya'Allah.

nways, for those who didnt know (yet), ellen (50) is actually a lesbian. huhu. she just got married to Portia de Rossi (a super hottie 35yo) who is a star in Ally McBeal, Arrested Development, Nip/Tuck, and among others. they got married in 17-aug-2008 - last weekend in an intimate ceremony at their home in LA.


ellen (left) and portia

totally GEMPAR giler!!

foot-notes :
dont get me wrong. im not supporting nor against the lesbian/gay marriage. its definitely against ISLAM and i am all aware of that. i guess the marriage is between them and God. esok-lusa, pandai-pandai ler jawab soalan itew... hihi. *sigh...*

windy nite

i reached home at half 6. prior that i stopped by to tapau nasik lemak at kedai kak long's tomyam. i tried it before and i liked it. the ayam goreng rempah is superb. hehe.

once home, i immediately washed my clothes and hit the shower. after maghrib, its makan time. huhu. now im watching the athletic olympic 4 x 100m relay men & women. the favourite team USA (both men & women) had a disasterous baton changed. hehe. they dropped it during the last changed. unbelieveable and full of drama. its like a curse! well, shit happens. im rooting for Jamaica teams to win. yesss!

nways, its quite windy tonite here in bkt subang. all the doors in my house are shaking and slammin'. it scared the hell out of me at first. heh. i could be a penakut at times. i think its gonna rain any minute now. that's good. i like rain. but rain can give me the blues too. huhu.

today was just great... *sigh*

8-)

its wet thursday morning

now, am back at my desk. really enthusiast to start work (NOT). hehe. but, what the heck, im still gonna enjoy my work today. its cold and wet. and most importantly, my boss (pak jan) is on a 3-day course. yes! on second thot, it doesnt really make any difference if he's in the office or not. like dughh! jahat aku kan?

nways, it was a great laid back and rilex day at home yesterday. i did nothin' except on and off i'd be browsing the internet. most of the time spent watchin' oprah, ellen, MTV, channel [V], crime and investigation, netgeo, discovery ch, HBO, cinemax, star movies and of course, the olympic channel. huhu. but, cant do that often cause i might ended up being a super-lazy 'couch potato' kinda person and i wont be havin' fun no more. totally! then again, i dont really hv a couch at home so im good. haha!

ok. back to work! catcha later ya...

yippie ya yeahh...

im on leave today. yes! im just gonna hang out at home watching tele. but im gonna have to go to kak long's office jap to take some stuff. while there, i might have lunch with her. we'll see la how things go.

apart from that... em. nothing much i guess. im just so happy that today is my rest day and i dont have to think about work and all that shit in the office. haha. dont get me wrong. i love my office and my work ok!

i aint gonna write much this morning. just feeling happy and lazy. huhu. i'll write more in my next entry ya. 8-)

thats it uols. i will definitely enjoy my wednesday!

take care!

house-mate

im gonna have a house-mate soon. hehe. he will be moving in end of this month. cool. he came to look at the apartment last friday and he liked it. so, i wont be alone no more. huhu. i hope both of us can get along and be great buddies. insya'Allah.

i was used to this noise and hiruk-pikuk when i stayed in ampang. when i moved in to bkt subang, its just total silent. sometimes, its 'killing' me. haha. im not complaining or anything-lah. i love it here and adapting myself really well with the neighbourhood and surroundings. i guess im gonna have to adjust myself to it kan? to have a house-mate is kidna nice. at least ada org to talk to.

then again... sepi itew indah, actually.

8-)

chilling out on sunday

the alarm rang about 630am. i got up and shut-it-up! huhu. wanted to jog but my body was sayin' NO. arggh. back to sleep and i got up at 8am. rasa bersalah la plak lepas itew. emm...

nways, i was just chillin' out the whole day. watching the olympic. yes! once a while i would flip the channel to TV3, NATGEO, TRAVEL & LIVING, HBO, MTV, Channel [V] and etc. hehe. at almost noon, got a text message from ungku hakimi sayin that he will be back to bkt subang after 4pm. he did mention yesterday that he wanted to take me out. just to accompany him and a fren of his from Bandung, Indonesia that just arrvied in KL on Friday. i thot it was kinda cool. so, i was really looking forward to that.

at 6-ish i was all ready to go. still waiting for ungku hakimi to call. NO! instead i got a text message again from him saying that he had some urgent matters, and that the 'appointment' was cancelled. like dughh! whatever-lah. there goes my plan to jalan-jalan. mencik!

well, i decided to turn on the internet. log-in to YM and cool, two of my buddies were online. jerry macguire and mus d great. huhu. i just added their IDs in my list yesterday (i think). we chatted up like almost an hour or so and it was a good 'guff'. i enjoyed it very much. thank you guys for 'accompanying' me. hope we could meet-up or even chat again some time ya!

we stopped our 'conversation' at maghrib. and about 8-ish i went down to pasar malam. bought myself something to eat. didnt feel like eating actually, but i have to eat something. takut nanti perut masuk angin mcm hari tuh. serik dah! i bought nasik tomato. not that nice but balun je ar. janji kenyang!

after dinner, i did some ironing. gosok semua baju dan seluar utk mgu nih. its quite a work-out i tell ya. haha. i was dripping all over. but it was good tho'. at least i did burn some calories or so. (yeah right!).

it was a good sunday! i hope tomorrow, monday, would be even better. its almost 1130pm. i think im ready to hit the bed.

gnite people!

i told ya...

usain bolt just won the 100m sprint with the fastes time ever - 9.69s. huhu! its a new world record.

from the way he ran, i knew that he could clock a better time than that. i guess he's just content with the 1st place and a gold medal for Jamaica. im sure he will break the 200m sprint world record too. u betcha!

gnite!

productive sat'day?

i woke up at half 6 this morning. huhu. rather early and full with enthusiasm. i've made a deal with ungku hakimi, my friend here in bkt subang, to jog. yess! both of us have this new 'goal' to keep fit and try to loose some weight. haha. insya'Allah. with the fasting month around the corner, we will achieve what we wanted. totally!

im currently standing at 5'7 and weight about 80kg. i've got to loose at least 10kg and have that slim waist-line again. wahhh...! thats my ultimate goal. im confident that i can do it. ive go to have the 3 Ds - Dedication, Dicipline and Determination. huhu. i've learnt about the 3Ds during the 'team-bonding' at PD. copy-cat la sket. 8-)

again, i will jog and walk tomorrow morning. although there is no tasek or proper track to run, but the surrounding areas are quite user-friendly. the roads here are in good coniditon and not many cars too. that, in a way, serve as the track to all of us here in bkt subang. hehe. lots of people are jogging, walking and cyling. the neighbourhood here is full with young people. so, its kinda fun to be able to 'participate' as part of the community. bole gituh statement? :-)

while typing this, im watching athletic event at the Olympic Beijing 2008. still waiting for the 100 meter men final to start. im rooting for Usain Bolt of Jamaica. i bet he's gonna break the world-record of 9.72s. he just finished with the time 9.85s during the semi-final. cant wait! hehe..

.. and of course, tomorrow evening at 6.30pm, dont forget to watch Lee Chong Wei in the badminton - men single final. hope he wins! MALAYSA BOLEH! ;-)

thats it uols! roger n out...!

kak long ku

kak long had participated in the Avon Walk Around The World for Breast Cancer (WAWBC) last sunday. i totally forgot about this. like dugh! what a brother kan? huhu. cool stuff kak long. way to go! really proud of ya.


kak long (anak panah), proudly raising the 'sepanduk' - 'Cancer is not a Death Sentence'

the walk has managed to raised up to RM50K. just awesome. i should've participated-lah. show some moral support to kak long kan? now i feel bad. ;-(

anyways, you can read more about the walk in Berita Harian :-

plastic surgery (viewer discretion is advised)

at home. watching tele. tune in to ch733. its about plastic surgery. obviously the show is all about american (US n A) people. like dugh! they're just not content with the way they are. some do need the surgery as they have excess skin due to weight loss. these people have to tighten loose skin. i've no objection to that.


*i dont wanna have this*

to some, plastic surgery is definitely not necessary. nose job, breast implant, breast lift, cheek implant, liposuction, tummy tuck etc. then again, its their money and they can do whatever they wish to do to their bodies-lah! huhu. but american surgeons did a really great job, i would say. after the surgery these people look absolutely fantastic. they look awesome and different. the doctor 'creation' is unbelieveable. hehe.

plastic surgery is a NO-NO to me. heh! i dont think we have many certified cosmetic plastic surgeons here in Malaysia kan? so, to those yang 'berangan' nak buat pembedahan plastik itew, good luck to you-lah. just find yourself that certified doctors who specialise in cosmetic surgery procedures.

while watching the show, i know that im gonna have to change my lifestyle. from now on im gonna start to eat better and lead a healthier life. exercise is the most important. i want to improve my life to better fitness. this is my GOAL! huhu.

can i do it? YESSSSS! anybody with me?

thank ALLAH for this face, this body, this health and this life.

...wow! this is deep man.

empty and i am singing

i know ive been a bit too mallow this week. huhu. empty (by CLICK FIVE) is another song that i'd listen to over again. dont ask me why. i just love listening to it. i guess the melody is nice and catchy, and that i could sing along with 'em. hehe.

i havent been to karaoke for quite a while now. i think i should go-lah one of these days. jom! sapa nak ikut? hehe. im not much of a singer but my closest frens say that i do have that talent of singing. do i? emm. i guess i can sing lah but not that good. my parents can sing. my other siblings can sing too. but my little sister, suzie is definitely a singer. she always in and out of the karaoke box and singing competitions. hehe. as a matter of fact, she did a back-up for ning baizura's song 'dikau' from the erti pertemuan album. that was quite an achivement actually. so proud of her. but singing is just a hobby. becoming a singer is not priority. she's currently working as a journalist in NST. i think she loves what she's doing cos she gets to travel a lot. she's been to almost every part of the world. mencik! .. but good for her-lah.



basically, singing runs in my family. i love to sing, especially while im in a shower and in my car. i love to dance too. huhu. anyone up for clubbin' next weekend?

:-)

acronyms & the weekend

TGIF - thank God its Friday
TGITWE - thank God its the weekend (i got this from Ellen DeGeneres. huhu)

i slept like a baby last nite. huhu. i woke up at half 8 and obviously i was late for work. but, who cares right? its friday! people dont really 'work' on friday. come on guys, you know its true! like totally. hehe.

nways, i was at my desk at 10am. feeling happy, fresh and all 'hyped' up (really?). i guess its gonna be a great day ahead. *sighhh*
