Selamat TInggal

Dear Kamu,

...it’s time for me to say goodbye for a while.

I'm not sure what to say anymore. I'm pretty sure I'm ready to get off this roller coaster ride. I need to stop. I need to just let go. I need to say goodbye.

It's hard to let go of it. And i hate to do so.

Who really know. I certainly don't. All I really know is that what we had was real. And I know, you do too. You can't take any of it away no matter how callous you are or how much you try to ignore it.

It's going to be a long journey, but i will definitely be waiting for the light to sparks again. And i know, you know it too, we will.

Al-Fatihah.

Shikin, you will be missed.
May you rest in peace...



I hate to say goodbye.

Happy Deepavali

Having to work on Deepavali?
“Bangla pon cuti kot”

Erghh...

But thinking on the backlogs and the works that I left last Friday, there is a strong magnet current dragging me to the right pole. (But mine is opposite to the current flow, negative terminal of ‘laziness’ to the positive terminal of eagerness)

So as normal, once I reached the office, the first mission is to fill up my cute water tumbler. With the owh-im-so-sleepy face, I went to the pantry and as normal, I will fill up the tumbler with half portion of hot and cold water.


Fundamentally, yes, I’m physically in the office, but my mind was wandering around, still under the blanket. And tada, there goes the drama, while sluggishly filling the hot water, I accidentally ‘offered’ my fingers under the hot water stream!

Ouch.

And at the same time, I received a vibrating alert from the back of my jeans pocket. And the used to be cool ringing tone seems to be so annoying.

“Ayah?”

So without hesitant and with the pain is still on, I answered the phone thinking that it was something important.

“Hello Ayong! Come back and buy toys for me!”

Erk?

Ha-ha

It was the twins! Like I just took the happy pills, they instantly seized out the pain and turned the soreness into joyfulness! And I realized that I get my fingers smoldered immediately after I saw the piles of work.

2 in 1 pain. (but i know i have the Happy Pills)

Totti & Tommy, My Sunshine.

I have many Happy Pills :D

The wonder women in action

24 October 2008, Kuala Lumpur – A motorcyclist lost control of her motorcycle near Pandan Indan Mewah, here, at 6pm, causing a short traffic jam at the area after a downpour yesterday.

Initial investigations show that the motorcyclist lost control of her motorcycle after the car in front was giving an emergency stop when she was making a turning into the other side of the road. The motorcycle skidded and the Chinese Lady (refused to be named) was thrown down from her motorcycle and was pinned against her motorcycle.

5 passer by ladies who saw the accidents stopped down to help the lady and took her and the motorcycle to the side of the road.

She suffered bruises and injuries on her head and legs in the motorcycle accident. The motorcyclist drives back on her own. She insisted and refused to call her next of kin.


The passer by ladies yang berani but dalam ketakutan: yanna.lyana , asni, elle, farah and farina

My Friday

I just reached the office when I received the text from Farina that Husna (Shikin’s sister) just called and told her to pray for the best of Shikin’s health. The doctor just called Shikin’s parents and told them to be strong, be prepared for the worse and pray for the best as Shikin’s condition is not progressively improved but getting worsens. Her BP is dropping and her heart beat is beating fast and she is fully depending on the ventilator. And what is sad, when Husna asked us to Halalkan her makan minum and forgives her wrong doings.

Without even starting my PC, I rushed to see my manager and told her that I need to go back and I’m just emotionally not fit to work. Alhamdullilah, I obtained the approval form my head (which is something really hard to get in my department though) and I called Farah to pick me up in Cyberjaya. I’m not driving to the office today and neither Farina. (Thanks dear and sorry for the ‘Lost in Cyberjaya’ catastrophe)

We later fetched Farina up in Bangi and we reached Ampang hospital at about 1pm. Shikin was still unconscious and her BP is dropping down. ;( I was so surprised and shaken to see the cheerful girl that I just met about 2 weeks ago is now lying stiffly in front of me unconsciously.

Astagfirallah.

A thought of gratefulness strikes. How thankful we should be that God is giving us the chance to live healthy and being better human beings, patching up our wrong doings.
How we should not holdup any good deeds and accomplishment as we never know what is destined for tomorrow. How we should love the people around us and spell off the rain of happiness as tomorrow might be too late. How we should live the life to the fullest as the joyfulness can be taken away in just a second.

Alhamdullilah.

And now, even though the chance for her to survived is so small (as how the doctor told), I pray for the best of everything. If she were to live suffering in pain, it is better to let her go, cause I know she has been the chosen one and God lover her more. However I pray for the miracle to take place and she will be recovering soon and giving back her sweet smile to us.

I believe that for every single thing that God has tested us with, we just can’t feel distress and irate but accepting it with gratitude. There is always something good behind it and God will never test us if it is not the love that he has for us.

Alhamdullilah.

I left the hospital at about 8pm. Shikin is still in comma. Although the BP rate is still low, but at least, it is rising progressively. The doctor will not be removing her ventilator away as how they have planned it before, or at least for tonight. And I really hope that tomorrow will be a better day and brings happy news to each one.


jauh di mata dekat di hati. yang dekat di mata tapi jauh di hati macam mana?

Destiny

People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it simply: by the lives they lead.My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

Sin makes its own hell, and goodness its own heaven.


There is no fate but your own fate.

Shikin hospitalized

The title says it all, and yes Shikin Alauddin is now hospitalized in Ampang Hospital. It happened on Sunday when her gums bleed badly and she was then taken to the hospital. After doing the first test, she was suspected to be having leukemia and thorough check up and examination need to be carried out to confirm on it and it can be only done on Wednesday.

So after doing the bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday, she has been diagnosed and confirmed to be having a stage 4 bone cancer. The tests showed that there is a problem with the amount of her white blood cells which is too high and she needs to undergo chemotherapy to shrink the cancer and destroy the cancer cells.

So today I was thinking to pay her a visit. But a very last minute important errands just stop me for doing so. And again, later in the evening I received a text from Izza. She told me that Shikin just had her chemo and its react to her body unconstructively. She is on life support and unconscious. I texted Elle, Farina and Farah to relay them the bad news.

Thankfully, Izza was there to update me on Shikin’s condition. Later the doctor did another test and now the white blood cells have infected her brain and she is still unconscious.

At this moment, I’m waiting for Izza’s update until I do my own visit tomorrow.

Dearest readers, please pray for Shikin’s speedy recovery.

No, I didn’t change my job. I am just helping someone to post it out. I’m still the dreary banker! *yeay*

Thanks...

“Best Friends Forever!” Sounds familiar? I’m sure it does.

I’m very optimist that everyone will have a best friend or at least, at some point in their lives. It is clearly someone who will listen to your thoughts, your complaints and someone who will share your emotions with you, someone you’re able to offer full trust and someone that you love dearly, your shoulder t cry on and someone that will go through thick and thin with us, through black days and white nights.

And, I thank God; I have one(s)

This past week and a half or so has been a whirl wind of emotions.

Sometimes I feel that I’m trying too hard to accomplish too many things at one time and i tended up hurting people around me. Gosh, I just hate letting people down. (Remember the Karma post?)

S.0.R.R.Y

Well, I have many friends. I’ve lost some and I’ve gained some. They may come and go but my best friends don’t. (I trust them!)


I love life and everything God has in stored for me.

Lulu: Hadapi Dengan S.M.I.L.E

What weekend has taught me:

• Life is about KARMA

• Small kids can totally forget about someone really close to them in just 4 months.
  

• Kids are sunshine to a cloudy glumly day and a connector of 2 hearts.

• Air Asia won’t give you any discount like other airline companies for the next ticket purchased for any missed flight but a full fare charge. (That’s how they make their profit anyway)

• Beaded coin purse that I bought here in Malaysia for RM40, cost only RM8 in Vietnam!

• Driving long distance without a radio is so boring and dreadful.

• The taste of Nasi Minyak can be so awful when you have over clove-ed it.

• Pre-menopause symptoms can be seen as early as 49 years old and it is very nagging.

• Going to Paroi is so much easier through Senawang exit for a road blinder like me.

• Made to belief that ‘Salad Telur’ is really a part of Negeri Sembilan’s favorite dish for any big makan-makan besides their Gulai Lomak Ayam Cili Api. :D (patutlah opah tu suka! :D)

• When you feel dreary, you will tend to do something absurd.

• Absurdness can be killed with a just a short heart-to-heart session with your bff. (Farah lets crash into people’s open house again! Hehe)

• Putu Mayam can be a great open house dish, something light yet very different and delectable.

• With a blinking fuel indicator, my car can still travel from Sec 6 – Sec 2 – Sunway Kayangan – TTDI Jaya which is almost 17 km journey! (Wont trust a digital fuel indicator anymore! Ha-ha)

• USJ Taipan Maxis centre has been relocated to Sunway!

• Subang Parade’s Little Black Book collection is soooo limited. (I want the checkered shirt as what is in their member’s bulletin! *sobsob*)

• A baby blue baby-T is a no-no thing for a busty girl.

• A Muslim proudly announced taking a Crispy Fired Frog at Jalan Alor is VERY not impressive but a huge infuriating! And the best response for such avowal that can easily caused ‘gulpness’: “Oh really? Katak sekarang memang dah went through proper slotting process ek?” *whatever*

• When a person is so stressful, they tend to give remarks that hurt others without realizing it.

• Slamming down a phone is very disgraceful and a perfect way to handle it is to: SMILE *tqvm*

tak marah kamu langsung! take care please...

Lulu itu saya!

We can't wait for the storm to be over. We have to learn to work in the rain.


Encik Apit, adik ku: Boleh tak be more alert and change your attitude!

Left with no choice

How I wish that I am married to a rich man.

With that, I just don’t have to bother to think about this ridiculous implementation of a new DTS schedule. (Transportation service provided by the bank to those working in Cyberjaya)

When I read the email to inform us on this ‘unintelligent’ notice, I was left heated. And I believe, it will not be only me. To my judge and belief, soon after, there is a saya-tak-puas-hati-group email chat session being set up to expressed the dissatisfaction.

Ever since about 1 and half years ago, I have surrendered my transport allowance and opted for the DTS service knowing the fact that RM200 wouldn’t be helping enough to support my daily travel expenses for Shah Alam to Cyberjaya. So everyday, you will be finding me waiting for the bus in front of DEMC section 9, Shah Alam, ruining my fresh-oily free-morning complexion. *heh*

The bus will arrived in Shah Alam 45 minutes before working time and it is just perfect as I will reach Cyberjaya exactly 5-10 minutes before the work starts. (Just enough for us to start the PC and taking up a cup of coffee)

But dejectedly, as how the title of the notice goes, “Early departure for 705 route, Klang-Shah Alam-Cyberjaya effective 1 November 2008” we are now left with no choice but geram! With this new implementation, we are now needed to leave Shah Alam, 1 hour 15 minutes before working time for a journey that takes about 40 minutes?

Excellent decision?

Ha-ha

Do your very own judgment.

And that is when Archimedes spirit came into action, developing a potent problem solving and analysis tool in pure mathematics. *chewah*

SELF DRIVING EXPENDITURE
Daily Travel Expenses Cyber-Shah Alam
RM 15 (fuel-to and fro) +
RM 7.8 (toll-to and fro) +
Total= RM22.80 per day

Monthly Expenses
RM22.80x20 working days = RM456 – RM200 (transport allowance) = RM 256
+
Unwavering cost
(Traffic jam x Malaysia driver attitude)⁸ + work load = STRESS


TAKING DTS
* No transport allowance but transportation will be provided. (Bye-bye RM200)
* Lesser sleeping time (by 15 minutes/day effective 01 November 2008)

15 minutes x 20 working day = 300 minutes = 5 hours shorter sleeping time in one month

So after doing a really hard 'differential and integral calculus', i know that i have no choice but to obey and taking up their, okay i admit it, VERY MUCH HELPING privilege.

And since that RM256 additional expenses can be use to fulfill my latest craving, BENEFIT make up (hey! its a price of a Posietint + Dr. feelgood balm!) i guess, i just have to let go and scarifies my 5 hours sleep. (i trust Erase paste in camouflaging the dark eyes!)

Smile.


Why do you have to hide it?

Attention:

Dear Sharifah Farah Syed Rani,

Please submit your pending last weekend activity report immediately.
Your urgent attention is very much appreciated.

A note to smoker

Chewing Double Mint and spraying on some cheap perfume after a cigarette doesn't make you smell better. It just makes me want to vomit when you sit down next to me at the office. Please stop trying to mask the fact that you smoke. You are better off smelling like an ashtray than an ashtray that is trying to be minty fresh and musky with hint of floral freshness.

Thank you and have a nice day.

The Vow

The wedding clock has started to tick...

I would prefer to call it a wedding syndrome peacefully ‘attacking’ my associates. Reason being, I believe is the age factor and the self readiness in traversing to the next phase of life responsibility and of course, following meeting of the perfect lifetime soul mate.

This week alone I received 2 beautiful wedding invitations. I don’t know why, but I just feel so elated and thrilled about it. For the most part seeing them climbing the ladder of happiness and in someway, it is a reminder to my self that the time has come and the ‘virus’ is now actively reciprocated; crossing fingers.

I still remember my deep heart to heart talk with Aunty Rose last week (a close friend of mum) about love and marriage. She did knocked me hard and I still remember every single word of wisdom given (that is what I love when talking to her, a true counselor-by profession of course)

“Yanna, never date a man because you are lonely. True love can knock your heart anytime. I’m married at the age of 22, but my true loves came when I was 37.In the end what last is important. You may think that he is the one now, but not tomorrow. Rather than feel sorry later. Be patient in finding your right man. In fact you just don’t have to really ‘find’ for it, as it will come to you”

And I told her my point of view on love and marriage and why the path is too complicated to be fathomed and to be understood. I tried not to brood about the past as the past has thought me a lot about life. And I’m not distractedly thinking about my future as I leave the life seafaring yet taking the helm wisely for it not to be drifted away.

Well we talked about how the marriage age graph has gone down. My mum married my dad when she was just 21, and that was about 27 years ago, the 80’s trend. And in 90’s, the tendency to get married would be around 27-29…and for 2000’s trend, it gone back down to 25-27. Did you realize that? But in the end, we just can’t let the fashion putting such a big chunk of force on ourselves as ‘it will come to you’.

What is important for us now is to strive for whatever dreams that we have in our life.

Thinking back on the ‘communication session’ has putted a big smile on me. How amusing she was yet lucratively channeling down the ‘required’ life guidance and advice. *tqvm*

There was one time when we were talking about doing what we really like to do in our life. And I told her about my dreams and how I wish that I could turn back the time and patching up the entire false moves made. How I wish that I can go back and studying something which is my fervour, ARTS. How I wish that I am an architect or a designer today instead of dreary banker. How I wish that…and jada jada..

“Why can’t you do so now? Go for it if that is your passion. There is nothing in this world which is too late. I am a great supporter of whatever my children have aspired to be. I don’t bother much about their exam marks, as it is only numbers. What is important is their life satisfaction. And you will know how regretful you will be as you grow older for not following your own passion and ambition”

She does boost up my aspiration and self-belief, at least, for that hour. And soon after, I went to see my dad and told him that I wish to change my master degree course to… (Later! Afraid that tak jadi). Of course, it is not going to be that easy for him to accept it knowing that I have taken a really good prospectus course. But in the end, it is about self fulfillment and satisfaction, living the life to the fullest doing something what you are wholehearted in.

Ha-ha

To My Soon-To-Be-Wife dearest friends,

May your appreciation of each others always be reciprocal,
May your trust in each other always be faithful,
May your respect for each other always be mutual,
May your communication with each other always be constant,
May your friendship with each other always be unconditional,
May your communication with each other always be constant,

With love and appreciation,

Loosen up, something for all..

You are at a wedding,
You are a total Diva,
The best dress, a perfect hairdo,
You fall in love with an invited guest,
You get secret looks the entire night...

On the dance floor, he's by your side constantly, and he dances like a god,
You are the couple of the evening,
The anticipated moment has arrived for all single women,
The bride is about to throw the bouquet...

You are first in line, in a strategic position...

Once there, you wait for the right moment,
You look at him sensually, and with your eyes you tell him,
If I catch the bouquet...I Will Marry You!

And then, the moment you've been waiting for...

The bride throws the bouquet...

He doesn't stop looking at you,
You jump like never before to catch the bouquet...

Your arms stretched out,
Your hands open.

And suddenly...

c.l.i.c.k


cheers! :D

Live, Love, Laugh.
