that's how long i've been on ya

i need you right now
i need you right now

i don't know if you got a man or not,
if you made plans or not
god put me in the plans or not
i'm trippin' this drink got me sayin' a lot
but i know that god put you in front of me

so how the hell could you front on me
there's a thousand you's there's only one of me
i'm trippin' i'm caught up in the moment right?

well i'd do anything for a blonde-dike
and she'll do anything for the limelight
and we'll do anything when the time's right
ugh, baby you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

Today, me and the boss presented our guidelines to the working groups.. the product of 2 years of hard work.. 2 years of constant reviews, write ups, print outs.. meetings.. and last night after all the final printing.. it was ready for the world (drama gituh). It is a bit rough.. needed a WHOLE lot of improvement but at least there was a final product that could be presented to the division.. a reference on all thats technical..
yeah.. it was slightly nervewrecking to see your work finally visualised.. being subjected to scrutiny.. presented in all its glory.. with all its imperfections.. and i couldnt help be slightly defensive when questions were asked..
but hey.. after all said and done..we finally did it.. all thats left are the annual reviews to make sure we're updated with the currrent technology.. and even though i only joined the unit a year ago.. it was a satisfying feeling to see your work being presented.

***************************************************************
You know.. I miss being in a foreign land.
That tingling feeling u get seeing something unfamiliar..
being awed by the new sights and sounds..
that particular smell you associate with a certain place.. which reminds u of it when ure away...
Before, whenever im away.. theres always that cushion to fall back on.. the familiar people with their knowing looks.. the understandable language..the comfort of knowing that theres always somebody to go to in times of trouble..

I wonder how it'll all be when theres no more cushion to soften my fall..
no more loved ones ..no more familiar faces..
I wonder how that feels? I wonder..

****************************************************************

Last night i dreamt you were going for an impromptu trip to Australia..
for some school reunion or something..
that was weird.. especially when u came from somewhere way up North...
maybe it was that Crocodile show i watched..
or maybe it was just the rain.. lulling me to sleep.. putting weird things in my head..

The one where i wish i was cooler (not the coleman type)






*sigh*

Party like a rock star..

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Saya suka KL sbb dia lawaaaa.. chanteekkk... ada twin towers.. ada Suria KLCC.. tempat hangout untuk perasan kaya or cool seketika... ada midvalley untuk shopping dalam kesesakan.. ada OU yg susah sangat nak dapat parking.. and The Curve yg ramai sungguh orang during the weekends.

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Ada Murni kat SS2 yang murah.. makanan pelbagai..ada juice buah special .. semua makanan kat kedai dia sedap..
Ada Muhibbah.. chinese style with its delicious lemon chicken.. and steamed fish..
Ada Park Village where u get good nasi lemak with roti bakar and white coffee yang enak..lepas tuh tengok the perasan cool kids having breakfast with their boisterous gang..
Ada Kedai Mamak dekat Kg Attap yang buat nasi.. ayam madu and kari bendi yang power giler... makan sekali hendak lagi..
Ada Tupai tupai untuk makanan Melayu.. sambil duduk di pangkin ala ala kampung gituh..
Pas tuh kalau rasa nak bangun awal weekend dan abis kan duit for that 'special' breakfast.. boleh pergi makan kat La Bodega..pas tuh singgah di Cats Whiskers tengok baju baju trendy...

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Sbb KL dekat dengan Bukit Tinggi..boleh drive for a day-trip je ke sana...driving without directions..sampai sesat sesat barat.. bawak kereta kat Karak Highway.. sampai terlajak ke New East Coast highway..sampai di atas tengok Japanese Garden..French Village -Colmar

Kalau boring lagi boleh pergi Genting.. panjat bukit.. tengok budak budak jerit jerit naik Roller Coaster.. and see the Melayu try to masuk Casino..

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Sbb kat KL bila kawan kita beli camera Digital SLR baru.. kita boleh buat impromptu trip ke Tasik Titiwangsa or Tugu Negara.. pergi tangkap tangkap gambar..belajar photography sambil bergaya mcm model .. berlagak macam Diva..


Kenapa saya suka KL?

Melting pot of all sorts of cultures..Boleh tengok theater Melayu (and bukan Melayu) di Istana Budaya.. listen to music at the Petronas philharmonic.. Watch modern funny Malaysian version of Whos Line Is it Anyway dekat Actors Studio.. tengok small bands (before they grew big) perform di bookstores mcm Borders.

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Sebab kat KL ada banyak tempat hangout.. boleh minum Kopi mahal.. sambil surf internet.. sambil borak borak kosong.. makan overpriced cakes and cookies..sambil konon nampak cool .. Kalau takder kerje weekend.. boleh pergi 'your favourite' bookstore.. sit down and relax.. read magazines for free.. basking in the sun from the wide windows..
malam malam kalau takder aktiviti lagi boleh bershisha di Rasta dengan kawan kawan... getting that temporary high.. walau batuk macam mana skali pon tetap tak boleh melepaskan peluang sepam dua..

Kenapa saya suka KL?

Sebab banyak orang buat wedding kat tempat tempat mahal macam Dewan Perdana.. Hotel Marriot..Pan Pac..dapat lotsa goodies yang kadang kadang dibuang begitu saja.. tp dapat makan makanan free yang agak sedap la jugak sambil bergaya dengan baju baju melayu yang handsome or kebaya kebaya ketat yang kalau tak hanya di pakai waktu hari Raya..


Kenapa saya suka KL?

Sebab KL nih besttttttt.....

la jugak...

why would anyone want to live elsewhere..

Choppy words in that sloppy flow


minggu ini berlalu dengan pantas.. Isnin Selasa Rabu Khamis dan hari ini sudah pon Jumaat. I wonder what i did differently this week compared to the previous ones ..Surprisingly i wasnt really counting the days.. the minutes the seconds...

Hari nih sebelum mesyuarat..

Big Bos kata..
"***lin you should do something about that cough.. its not getting any better!.. and your car too..Its making so much noise."
"Yeah yeah boss.. ill do something about it next week.."
"You should do something soon.. Youre always so busy!"

*uhuk uhuk*.. if only he knew.. if only..

Btw.. i feel like a major retail therapy coming up.. and for something I cant really afford right now...urgh..

kau tau.. everyone despite their greatness has their weaknesses.. their little insecurities.. no matter how perfect they may seem... and in that spirit I know..
I Raaawwkkk!
(they suck!)
Have A good Weekend People!

Meletup macam gabus *pop*


Aku sudah kehabisan idea.
Semua yang perlu dibuat sudah diselesaikan.
Membalas emel - check!
Makan sarapan pagi -check!
(hari aku memang tidak lengkap tanpa sarapan.. most important meal of the day!)
Kerja ofis - check! (semalam dah selesai)

Apa yang tinggal sekarang.. membaca suratkhabar..dan melayar web web politik untuk memberi sedikit insight kepada hal ehwal dunia hari ini..

Semalam aku membaca Financial Times yang tiba tiba menyepahkan ruang tamu..
suratkhabar berwarna oren yang rasanya hampir setahun aku tidak sentuh..(you would think my living room is full of international newspapers and magazines lying around.. let me tell you.. its NOT..although kadangkala tuh ada jugak la The Economist or Times lying around di bawa pulang oleh si cousin)

Tentunya pembaca berpikir dalam hati.. "Budak nih takder kerje ke? Boleh membaca sesuka hati.. memblog tak ingat diri.." well ladies and gentleman.. i dont.. (for now at least).

you know..bila orang bertukar kerja kerana bosan dengan pekerjaan semasa yang relek dan tiada kerja..masyarakat berkata.."Ah bodoh.. orang bagi kau makan gaji. goyang kaki .. kau mau lari"..

bila orang meminta pertukaran unit kerana HR nya yang tidak berapa pandai meletakkan pekerja di tempat yang sesuai.. masyarakat berkata "They're just doing their jobs. There doing whats best for the company. Mengisi kekosongan pekerja di mana perlu tanpa mengira kesesuaian background":

bila orang meminta kerja atau memohon site work untuk menimba pengalaman menambah pengetuan .. tapi kemudian di sogokkan kerja admin yang mudah.. dalam sekelip mata boleh disiapkan.. "Masyarakat kata.. "You're paid to work..Buat je lah kerja.. dah senang.. lagi mau komplen"

dan bila orang mencari kerja lain.. breach contract.. lari meninggalkan company kerana mau kan kerja yang lebih memuaskan hati.. masyarakat kata "Manusia tak kenang budi!.. sudah dibantu mau lari.."
********************************************

Aku terpanggil untuk menulis dalam bahasa melayu.. setelah membaca beberapa blog..sempene Merdeka . hey why not? Walaupon penggunaan.. dari-daripada.. di-didalam pon sering ditegur.. tapi hey.. Why not kan?.. menulis dalam BM sempena bukan Merdeka! yeehaa..

*******************************************

btw.. kenapakah manusia suka menggunakan ring tone yang menyakitkan hati. ( actually aku pun dulu guilty as charged.. suka guna ringtone yang significant.. yang bengitkan telinga. yang sampai kawan kawan boleh ingat dan kenal..tiada siapa lagi yang guna bunyi seperti itu selain AKU!.. tapi in my defence dulu henfon aku henfon murahan . tak canggih ) pasang di office tak tahu nak turunkan volume... People!.. please.. its 2.0.0.7.. havent you heard of "real tones" before?

Hey there Delilah!

Kalau nak minta apa apa suara mesti lembut..
tutur kata mesti bersopan santun...
walaupon minta melalui telefon...
mesti nada hormat..
nada teman tapi mesra..
walau segarang mana yang menjawab disebelah sana.
Permulaan bicara "Hello" yang baik...
Mesti orang pon nak beri apa yg kita mahu..

Everythings not lost

The concept of faith in general.. without catering to any particular religion or belief..you dont have to be pious to get this..

"Sometimes God withdraws a particular blessing from someone so that the person can comprehend Him as something other than a being of whom one asks favours and make requests. He knows how far he can test a soul, and never goes beyond that point. At such moments we must never say, "God has abandoned me." He will never do that, even though we may sometimes abandon Him.If the Lord sets us a great test, he always gives us sufficient- I would say more than sufficient- grace to pass the test."
..................................

"It is important to accept one's passions, and not to lose one's enthusiasm for conquests....... there comes a moment however when his passions suddenly dissapear. Despite all his knowledge, he allows himself to be overwhelmed by despair :things do not happen as he dreamed they would, tragedies occur in unfair and unexpected ways, and he begins to believe that his prayers are not being heeded..He continues to pray and to attend religous services but he cannot deceive himself; his heart does not respond as it once did, and the words seem meaningless. At such a moment, there is only one possible path to follow: keep practising. Say your prayers out of duty or out of fear, or for some other reason, but keep praying. Keep on, even if it all seems in vain.

The angel in charge of receiving your words, and who is also responsible for the joy of faith, has wandered off somewhere. However, he will soon be back and will only know where to find you if he or she hears a prayer or a request from your lips.

I heart ma hommies


My head has been in a mish mash of thought these days..u know like mash potato with gravy with those bits of crispy skin macam kat TGIF tuh..(mmmmmmmmm).. im not really sure whether my cocktail of meds and the very very lack of sleep has either been an effect or the cause of my predicament.. but God knows that I DO NOT have the capacity for yet another quarter life crisis..but the last time i had to take Ventolin was 5 years ago.. during A-levels so i guess my body is trying to tell me something here.

*********************************

Last saturday amids it all, i went for a theurapetic facial.. and this chick kept wanting to make conversation . talking about.."nukrierr"... "u knoww aa.. de efek of nukrierrr bad.. meni peepel dai u know bikoz of this..u kam la to eksibisyen neks week. i work there.." and there i was lying on the table thingking.. "oh please just shut up and let me enjoy my peace and quiet and your amazing neck massage"... when it then hit me.. this girl.. my facial therapist (if thats what u call them) was actually trying to talk to me about Nuclear War and persuade me to go to this exhibition they were gonna have in KL next week. which kinda amazed me ..out of all the places i am actually getting Nuclear awareness issues during my facials..

**************************

Sometimes i wonder whether total honesty is really the best thing...it can either help u sleep at night or leave u feeling a little vulnerable and dazzled..

Selamat Tinggal Dunia

Pagi petang
Siang malam
Lintang pukang
Pasir jerlus
Litar pintas
Jerangkap samar
Jerangkap samar

Selamat tinggal dunia
Selamat tinggal dunia
Semangatku takkan luntur
Semangatku takkan luntur


Long boring morning meetings are good for :
1. clearing up your inbox.
2. exploring/discovering new functions on your handphone.
3. surfing the net using 3G
4. having free breakfast
5. day dreaming
