Hye peeps..It’s me again..Nothing great happened today..Just went out to catch a movie..She’s The Man..Been wanting to watch it since I saw the preview..And didn’t regret it a bit..The movie was cool and funny..I mean for teenagers but then again, I’m still a teenager (deep down inside)..heheh..

For peeps out there who hasn’t had the chance to watch this movie, its actually about Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) who disguises as her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) and enrolled in his place at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep… Reason being, she wanted to prove that she could actually succeed in the guys football team… She was counting on Sebastion being AWOL from school as he tried to break into the music scene in London… What she didnt count on was falling in love with her hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn has eyes for the beuatiful Olivia (Lura Ramsey)…. Making matters worse, Olivia is starting to fall for Sebastian, who appears to be the sensitive type of guy she’d always dreamed of meeting…. If things weren’t complicated enuff, the real Sebastian returns from London a day earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he’s been replaced by his own twin sister…In all, great movie to watch with ur gals…               

After the movie, we walked in the mall to check out new outfits..Everytime i’m back in Ktn, won’t missed out the chance to check the place..Compared to KL, even though we have a lot of options there, the price of things in Ktn is way more cheaper..Quality wise, much rather the same and fashion wise, up-to-date too..So, once in a while it’s good to check the place out coz we mite probably find something great..Anyhow, didnt find anything eye catching to me, so didnt buy anything but the window shopping was actually a relaxation to the eyes..hehehe..

It’s 4 o’clock in the morning..Now I’m in Kuantan for the long holidays..Cudn’t actually sleep until I blog down this thing that keeps bugging my head..

Was on my way back from KL with my parents and the songs playing in the radio were all so ’sayu aje kedengarannya’..Probably I’m feeling vulnerable rite now..Dont know why but the more it is nearing 5th May, the more sad I become..Why 5th May, only a few ppl know..But the problem is in my heart I actually dont know whether I want 5th May to come, or I want time to move so slow that it would take longer for 5th May to arrive..

Have u ever had that feeling where u seem to look so happy with the life ur leading, so content in what ur doing but deep down inside ur actually aching..Aching for something u know u really want so bad but u have no power to do anything about it or no control whatsoever over it..U can only let it be..Thats how I was feeling on my journey back home..Suddenly felt tears streaming down my cheeks..Remembering the happy days and how life seems to be going the way I wanted it to be..But now I realised that probably it was never meant to be and I was only given that period of time just to experience it, gain something from it and move on..Tho there may be times when I feel like crying my heart out but when I’m done, I can put things behind me and go on..Dont know how long this process would go on (probably it mite not stop) but each time its over, i just keep my chin up high, act as if my life is so perfect and show the world how happy I am..

Life can be so unfair but if people always get what they want, they wont know the pain and pleasures life has to offer…So what I can do now is to be patient, lead my life as it goes by and pray that Allah gives me what He feels is best for me..

Ya Allah, Kau buatlah yang terbaik untukku..

My parents were in town yesterday as my father had a meeting here..Normally during his business trips, I get to stay with them in the hotel of their choice since i’m their only child living in KL..I get the bed for myself (of course since my parents are sleeping together, hehe) plus its near to my office..All these while we have been staying in Mandarin Oriental but its such a waste since we weren’t utilising the free stay we get to use the hotel facilities provided..So a week before this business trip, my mum asked me whether I wanted to use the Jacuzzi in the hotel, since my resolution now is to start trying new things, I totally agreed..

I reached the hotel around 7.30pm as i had few things to settle..(Wasnt in the office for 3 days so u can imagine the pile of work I had on my desk)..Called the hotel club to check out the facilities they had and was actually pleased when I was told that they also have a sauna, steam room and gym..Regretted that I wasnt aware of this earlier..I could have fully utilised the facilities, heheh..Why, its free what..Quickly, did my prayers and headed off to the vitality club on the 3rd floor with my mother..She was totally into it too but she didnt have the courage to go alone..I didn’t mind coz its actually great when u get to spend some quality time with ur mother..The feeling is different, it kinda made us closer..

When we reached 3rd floor, went to the registration table and asked the guy there where the sauna room was..Like the malay saying ‘Rusa masuk kampung’ we went to the room..Everything was there..We looked around to see anyone who could give us the locker keys since we came down in our robes, so the lady there told us to get it from the guy at the registration table..We went back again and took the key..After taking off our robes and keeping it in the locker, headed to the sauna room..My mum and me decided to use the steam room instead of the sauna..Besides, there was a tv inside the steam room..Just to describe the steam room to anyone who hasn’t been in one, it was a medium sized room with seatings made out of wood (i think), then at the center was a metal box filled with coal..We spent like 20 mins in the room and decided to use the jacuzzi next..Went to one of the showers to wash our bodies a little and put on our swimming suit..

After we were done, we went to the jacuzzi..There was a cold one and a warm one..We decided to use the warm one..Stayed in there for about 20 mins and then took a dip in the cold one..It was 10 mins after nine when we were done..Had to hurry coz i wanted to catch the Bonuslink members day in Parkson KLCC..

Reached KLCC at 10..Luckily it is closing at 11.00pm, so got the chance to window shop..Spotted few interesting things..Like a new wallet for instance..Just to inform those shopping enthusiast out there, Parkson KLCC has a new section featuring the latest range of FOSSIL brand..They have the new collection of FOSSIL handbags and I immediately fell in love with them..But then again, since one of my resolutions is not to waste money on ‘unnecessary’ things, had to passed up the idea..So sad..After that, along with my parents, went out to have dinner and on the way there, stopped by at Chowkit to buy ‘petai’..heheh..Crazy huh..One of my favourite ‘ulam’..One reason ppl avoid eating ‘petai’ is because of the smell of their mouth after eating it, so to avoid having that problem, I only eat it when I go back to my hometown (my secret, don’t tell anyone), hihi..

We had dinner at Chop & Stick in Kampung Baru..I ordered black pepper steak and apple juice, mum had chicken chop and carrot milk juice, while my dad had spaghetti bolognaise and coffee..After dinner, went back to the hotel and upon the sight of the bed, changed into my sleeping pyjama’s and dozed off..Had a tiring day but an enjoyable one..Adding another item into ‘my first’ list, my first jacuzzi, hehehe..

Just got back from 3 days of training in the Banks training centre in Bangi..Strategic Marketing Workshop..Actually marketing is quite an interesting subject to learn about..It’s not something u learn just for a specific purpose, like for instance in my case to market banking products, but also even if u embark in any other type of industry, no matter manufacturing, trading, retailing, construction and even advisory, all these sectors require marketing skills but the difference is in the product that they market..So, it kinda attracted me to read more on this subject matter so i could apply it for my future opportunities..After the 3 days course, returned back to the office to resume my work as usual..

And as usual, when ur away from the office for so long, u tend to get all these forwarded mails from friends and collegues and the normal banking mails like the daily treasury rates, treasury alerts and capital market commentary..While I was filtering thru all these mails, one mail caught my attention..Just to share it with u guys and see whether it applies to ur life..N’joy!!

Love: Chance or Choice

When we meet the right person to love, when we’re at the right place at the right time, that’s a chance.

When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice. That’s a chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That’s also a chance. The difference is what happens afterwards.

When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his/her faults, that’s not a chance. That’s a choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s a choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s a choice.

Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice, a choice that we make.

Soul mates do exist, that there is truly someone made for you. But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not.

We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world NOT by finding someone perfect to love, BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.

" To love & to be loved is the greatest happiness in life.

FATE determines who comes into our lives.

Our HEART determines who stays."

Last Friday, i did something spontaneous..Didnt even plan for it but suddenly out of the blue i decided to do it..Didnt have time to write bout it earlier but here goes..

During lunch, I was looking thru the newspaper when i spotted this beauty promotion ad..Any facials or spa treatment for RM38 each..Wow, what a bargain..So i was thinking, what the heck, mite as well try and see how it feels like..I’ve never gone for any spa treatment before..Not to say that i dont have time for it but simply didnt feel the need for it previously..Only nowadays, i feel like pampering myself and how better to do it than start with a cheap one and see how it goes, hehehe..I know its actually good to pamper yourself but why waste your money on something expensive when u can get a better bargain elsewhere..

I confirmed with my cousin coz i was supposed to pick her up after work (We had plans for the nite, will tell u later) whether she wanted to join me in the spa thingy..She totally agreed…At first there were no place for us as it was fully booked but then, the beautician called me to confirm if i wanted to do it today coz there was two place available..So without hesitation, I agreed..Was so excited..My first spa treatment..hehehe..

At about 5.30pm, I reached the place in Lot 10..Met my cousin at the concourse..Got lost at first coz I didnt make the effort to take note where it was situated but then finally located it on the top floor..The place was quite impressive..We registered ourselves, filled in the forms and we were asked to put our belongings in the locker..After that we were sent to one of the rooms to take off our clothes..Then they took us to the sauna..It was so thrilling, for me u see..hehehe..We gossiped in the sauna..Didnt remember the last time I gossiped in a sauna..Hmm, actually, never..hihi..It was great…I felt like this is something i wanna do often..All this girl thing..Miss this actually..Didnt get to do it earlier, so now i’m going to take full advantage of it..Plus, with my dearest sister coming back soon, I’d have much more fun doing in with a bigger company..

After that, we were sent to the room again to start our treatment..They began by putting mask on our back, left us alone for 15 mins for it to dry, cleaned it and then started massaging us..Wow, was it relaxing..Have never been massaged before, so I can compare it with any other but since it was my first time, I felt it was the best so far..hihi..Cant complain much coz it was cheap..I heard that there is one place in Taman Dagang that offered this service for RM200 and the treatment is 4 hours…Would try that sometime and tell u the difference..Back to the story, after all the massaging which took about 45 mins, they continued with the facial..Cudnt tell u much on what they did during the massage coz I actually dozed off..Who wudnt after being bz in the office finalizing credit papers..hihi..The facial was ok..Wont elaborate much coz basically what they did was the normal stuff..Cleanse, stimmed, clear the whiteheads and pimples and finally the mask..So it was particularly the usual stuff, nothing different..When it was over, i realised that the whole thing actually took more than 1 1/2 hours like they told me before..It actually took almost 3 hours..But in all, it was satisfying..Shud do it again and will be doing again, probably next week..Another promotion my cousin got hold off..hehehe..

After that we head off to my cousins house, to clean up and change our clothes..Our next plan for the nite was to hear a jazz band playing life in Avanti Club in Sunway Lagoon Resort…We only managed to reached the club at 10.30pm..My friend Malini, her bro and his gf was already there..While, I was there with my cousin, her other friend and also one of my colleague, Rasydan..The band was terrific..I really admire them..They sang and played so well..Really, it was the best experience ever..Of course again, becoz I love hearing jazz music and my first time of hearing a live jazz band, so I was easily impressed but to tell u the truth, they were amazing..The band name was Evening Breeze..They played lots of song but a few that got my attention personally was sway, song by Neil Armstrong (When the sky r blue - i think) and when a man loves a women..It was superb!! So, the next time they r playing, wudnt miss it..I actually got to know of this particular thing from the KLUE mag…Its so informative..Loads of info on KL lifestyle including art, theatre, music and etc..We stayed until the last song and after that headed for supper in Naili’s in Bandar Baru Sentul..Also my first time there..But then again, enuff with my first time on things..Will tell u about Naili’s the next time I’m there, which i’m planning to do again, soon, hehehe..Adios..

Yesterday, after office, i decided to have a jog but the clouds seemed to look quite dark..I took a gamble and changed into my sports outfit..Once i got down, suddenly i felt rain drops on my face..Unlucky me..So, not to waste the sports outfit i had on, i decided to go to the gym..Normally, I’d prefer going for a jog and breathe the fresh air but since it was impossible there and then, i had to use the next best alternative to exercise..

Once i entered the gym, i signed in, took a locker key and put my stuff in the locker which was provided in the changing room..When i got to the workout area, i was deciding on which machine to use first..I went to the treadmill and since I didnt know how to use it, I had the get the help of the trainer there..He asked me which one I preferred, the 20 mins or 30 mins routine..I selected the 20 mins one coz i was still new at it..He explained briefly and by 10 mins, i was actually quite tired..I stayed on the treadmill until the 20 mins ended and there was another 2 mins extra for cooling down..After I stepped down from the machine, I felt a bit dizzy, so i continued walking until I regain my balance..Then I realized that I actually felt good..

After that, I decided to try the striding machine..I dont know the name of the machine but when i used it, it kept asking me to stride faster..How am i suppose to do stride faster if I dont actually know the proper way of using it..And of course, to start using the machine, I had to get the help of the instructor, hehehe..I stopped after 10 mins coz i wasnt really comfortable using it..

I went to the next machine available which was the bicycle (Again, not sure whether its called the bicycle but it requires cycling skills, hehe)..I had 20 mins of it when I looked outside and realized that it was getting dark..I immediately stopped, went to the locker, gathered my stuff, signed out and walked to my car..Had to do it fast before its gets very dark for me to get to my car which is parked opposite my office builidng..

That nite also, I watched extreme makeover and was really impressed when I saw one of the contestants managed to loose 32 pounds just from doing the right routine, proper equipments and where to put more attention to in loosing ur weight..Its not that i’m too fat, my friend kept telling me that i’m not fat but just to keep myself healthy and my body a bit toned up..So, gotta visit the gym more often and see how it goes..

I’m so happy rite now can’t stop myself from smiling..Feel like jumping up and down but obviously i cant seem to do it coz i’m in the office, hehe..Met my special someone for lunch after he’d been away for almost 2 months..Ppl mite think, wow, 2 months is quite long to be away from that special someone but for me, just for the sake of this special someone pursuing his dreams, I’m supporting him all the way as long as he’s happy doing what he loves..

To tell u the truth, the entire time i knew him (which is a very long time), i’ve always been head over heels for him..No matter what, every time i meet him (i stress here, every time), I’d have that tingling feeling inside me whenever i catch the glimpse of him whether he is waiting for me or is coming to see me..It’s like i just knew him and suddenly have this big crush on him all over again..hehe..sounds crazy rite?!!..Probably thats how ppl feel about their first love..I used to dread the days i’m not able to see him..Counting when the day will come where i get to see his face again..The first time he was outstationed outside M’sia, i couldn’t stand it..Eventho it was expensive (the first time, he was outstationed in jakarta), i’d make sure i give him a call, possibly twice a week for about an one hour or so..That’s how bad i miss him..As days go by i learn to adapt to him being away..But when he returns to M’sia, i’d have the best days coz he tends to repay it by spending most of his time entertaining me..Those were the happy days..

Now tho things are a bit different, I just want to preserve the happy thots..Hope everything goes well between us..For whom it may concern, thanks for being that special someone in my life whatever lies in the future for us..And for me, praying God does what He feels is best for me..Just wanted to share my happy feeling before it goes away..

Last weekend I had quite a great time..My friend Siti came over from Batu Pahat for my friends’ wedding (DoN-pics could be viewed in my photo album)..She arrived on Friday nite and on that nite itself, we went to ‘lepak’ with Fizah and Mimi..We had to meet Mimi that nite coz she couldn’t attend Don’s wedding as she had her PTD course..So we went to ‘lepak’ at Hartamas..Not the usual place full of ppl but quite a less croweded place at Restoran Safi (I think)..We chat for a little while and talked about our Uni days..It was kinda fun remembering the old days when we were still young…Did quite a lot of crazy things..But it was for us to remember, hehehe..Then when the clock showed 12.30am, it was time for Mimi to go as she had to have a good rest to start her course again the next morning…So after kissing goodbye..We headed off home..

The next Saturday, was the wedding day..As Siti was staying with me, both of us headed to Fizah’s hse coz we wanted to drive in only one car, so when we reached there, they decided to go in my car..When we arrived, the nikah was over, so we congratulated Don as she is now a happy wife to the man she loved..She looked so happy..Yup, who wouldn’t if ur married to the man u love and will share ur whole life with..After that we stayed for the ber’sanding’..We took a few pictures and in all the wedding was memorable..It should be as it was the day Don ended her singlehood, hehehe..Unlike the four of us, still waiting for our prince charming..hehe..Once the ceremony ended, we congratulated Don again and headed off home before we got to see our friend Mira and her baby..The baby was so cute..Just wanted to touch his cheeks..I adore kids so much..Seriously, cant wait to have one of my own..

That same evening, after taking a nap and doing our prayers, we headed to KLCC by Putra to catch a movie..But there was only 3 of us coz Fadz had to accompany her mother who is staying alone at home..Once we reached KLCC, while we were going thru the tunnel, we came across these few youngster attracting ppl with their sound of music..(So if u wanna catch them, u could head to the tunnel of KLCC to witness their performance)..They were actually quite good..

Then we went straight to TGV to purchase the movie tickets..As there were so many ppl and long queue, we ended up watching Water Spirit as that was the only movie that was within the time range available..The movie was quite scary..Me and Siti screamed a few times coz both of us were so shocked when the ghost suddenly appeared and how horrible it was when the victims died..And at the end of the story, we found out that the movie was how to put it, a bit unlogic..So, if u wanna know whether my statement is true, better catch the movie urself..The movie ended around 9.00 pm so after that we headed off home as it was already dark..

On our way back we took a few crazy pictures of ourselves..hehe..Hope that we could have this much fun every week but since all of us are staying far from each other, we could only do it only on one of those unusual saturdays..The end..

NJoY!!

Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough

Words and music by PATTY SMYTH and GLEN BURTNIK

I don’t wanna lose you,
I don’t wanna use you
just to have sombody by my side
And I don’t wanna hate you
I don’t wanna take you
But I don’t wanna be the one to cry
That don’t really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust
There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough

Now I could never change you
I don’t wanna blame you
Baby you don’t have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something’s gonna change

But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust
There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough

And there’s no way home
when it’s late at night and you’re all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay

And there’s a Danger in Loving somebody too much
And it’s sad when you know it’s your heart they can’t touch
There’s a reason why people don’t stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain’t enough
Baby sometimes love just ain’t enough

Was thinking of going back at 5.45 sharp when I heard the sound of thunder and rain started pouring down..Hmm, guess here goes my wish of going back home early..Actually, the reason I wanted to go back early coz I had a whole lot of task to be done tonite..

Some of the important ones include:-

1) Buying a bed for my grandma and auntie (long story, no need to explain on that)

2) Bring them back to KL (coz now their in my house in Kajang)

3) Take my two aunties’ who are suddenly sick (purging and vomitting)

If u look at me, u wudnt actually believe I could handle the task in one nite..hehehe..In the sense that I’m such a petite lady, hehehe…But then again, nowadays, woman and man are equal..They could actually complete a job in hand given the same amount of time but ya, the results would actually be different..hehehe..

Back to my story..Since its raining, my ‘departure’ is a bit delayed..Dont wanna get myself wet all the way to my car which is parked opposite my office building, so here I am, complaining in this blog about the weather..

Because of the rain, sometimes I couldn’t do my jogging..To make things worse, sometimes after I had changed into my jogging clothes, the rains starts pouring..So, at last I end up going back home, so frustrated and a bit embarassed, hehe..But when the rain stops just before the clock strikes 5.45pm, I have the pleasure of jogging in such a perfectly cool weather..And blimey me, it’s so peaceful..And thats when I have the best jog ever..

Conclusion made is that, the rain does make u wet at times n you could enjoy ur sleep but they also return the favour by providing you the coolest and most satisfying feeling when it stops, also good for your sleep..hehehe..Okie Dookie..gtg..I think the rain has stop and also my nonsense..heheh..
