Crappin' crap
7 more days till desk bound...
Why do you only SEE the things I DON'T DO?
Hate rushed trip to the library! Came back with the wrong book. Argh.
What am I suppose to say to him ? *Put hands on both ears*
What is it with all the media frenzy over Sly? It will either work with him or against him. I would say 'with him' based on the rate his fans' hormones are raging. And I keep on reading his name as Ashley everytime people write it as AhSly. Silly me.
2nd place only means that he will outdo the winner. Thats the usual pattern for competitions or talent shows anyway. But Taufik will still get my vote. Go Fique!
Overated cliche ; "Don't judge a book by its cover". And oh boy the cover sure do says "Judge me! Judge me!" So who can we blame? But they made me see things at different perspective. Interesting peeps.
Should I get a router? Or just a network card? But that means to and fro with the cables. Never supported XP before and I didn't realise there's so many useful features. Loathe the interface though.

Networking is the key! Connecting people. NOT brought to you by nokia. Its back to basic.

Return of the Mack
Yes yes I'm back since Tuesday and I have yet to update on how my raya was celebrated there. Link to Aridewa can? Hehehe...cause all the main points already used. I hate redundancy. Memang lebih meriah suasana di sana. Aku almost heart attack asik terkejot dengar bunyik mercun. Sini preach racial harmony tapi hapak pon tadak....sana orang bangsa apa pon just walk up to you in Malls or streets to wish u. Impressive and moving. My uncle's place is not kampung but the neighbours are just as friendly. The kids are super...they visit in groups.. "Asamekom.... cik taknak makan atau minom...dah kenyang asik isi perot..kami nak duit raya je." Nothing beats honesty huh. Cute! Admire their frankness but then again its the wrong reasons to visit. Unhealthy way to nurture the young minds. Oh and I get to watch Akedemi Fantasia's top finalists Raya concert. Save that for some other time.
In case you can't read in between the lines...I am not making any effort or whatsoever to write/type in an orderly manner. Penat ah. Mentally, physically, emotionally. To top it all just receive some news that need sorting out too. Sigh.
Thanks to all for the wishes.... MUAKZZZZZZ

My Reason
I keep looking for something I can't see
Close my eyes to feel what I don't get
Its hard to go by being your own enemy
Maybe its time to start something new
Nobody likes to be wrong
This time around being wrong is what I need
Spent too many nights thinking
Endless of reasons and excuses
But when you're here with me we'll fly
Sooner or later it will be over
Close my eyes to feel what I don't get
Its hard to go by being your own enemy
Maybe its time to start something new
Nobody likes to be wrong
This time around being wrong is what I need
Spent too many nights thinking
Endless of reasons and excuses
But when you're here with me we'll fly
Sooner or later it will be over
'Cos everything is meant to be broken
But its not stopping me from turning away
Today was yesterday's fear
So lets make it through each day
And maybe you'll be the reason I'll be able to see

Ucapan..

Kepada semua blogger, pembaca, kengkawan siber :
Ps : Nanti saya minta maaf lagi bila kami bersua ye. InsyaAllah.

My Prerogative.....or Not
What is it with Law firms and me? A sign of me getting my fancy pants with all its sparkling rhinestones sued off in the future? Blaaargghhh.... The office is so posh I felt like I should be hovering instead of walking and soil the floor. Visually scanned covertly with blinks in between. Input Data -> Caramel skin color / hejab / familiar species -> Initialising search.............. -> Data Not Found. If I am employed (the word is IF), I would probably be the first Malay employee. I already went to their website before hand and true enough it is a 100% domination of the single-eyelid species (no pun intended). And this is the first time an interviewer ask me "Are you local?" Imagine my facial constipation. Wait. With my previous experience with a law firm that made the hejab an issue, I wanted to try something here....instead of the conventional head dress, I substitute it with a longish rectangular scarf that has the dangling threads at each end. Of course its black in colour to suit the occasion. I twirl it at the back of my head covering my long locks perfectly and the rest of the fabric falls on my right shoulder. A pair of pearl colored dangling earrings was put on to show that I do have ears beneath the covered flat-looking sides. Dah macam R&B artist ...ceh ceh...hurhurhurhu... Ok here is what it looks like lah..minus the face.
So probably he thought I am a filipino ? bangladeshi ? sri lankan ? indonesian ? oh nevermind that. Anyhoo... I was determined to test and see if there was any difference in the way I was treated or judged or anything for that matter. Although I had a hard time contemplating on it I almost shit in my pants while I thought it out in the toilet. Anxiety attack lah. I must have tied it too hard it hurt my ears so bad. And here are the comparisons made :
With hejab :
1. Mostly no handshake offer (preferably)
2. Expression that spells slight disappointment or surprise (usually by my name they expect to see some hula girl in hot pants...ok lah I'm exagerrating)
3. Some conducted the interview half-heartedly and some heartlessly (some only ok not all)
4. Either ask more questions or simply ask me if my agent already brief me on the scope
5. Giving out vibes that tells me clearly what the verdict is at most occasions
6. Sometimes I was given a small pep talk of how the company don't discriminate female Muslims by what they wear
7. Either not much clarity on how the company make the decisions or there are just too many excuses
Without hejab (substitute of head dress) :
1. Instant handshake offer
2. Big mr smiley face
3. Conduct the interview with interest and curiosity
4. Elaborately explain the position's roles and the company's expectations
5. Giving out neutral vibes of leaving me with both yes or no probability
6. Not a discussion (but of course lah)
7. Told me why the previous candidates were unsucessful and there will be 2 more after me so its only fair to wait till they contact my agent
Thats about all I can spot at this moment. I leave not feeling the percentage of either outcome at all. Neither alkaline nor acidic. I don't know if that is better or worst. Have to wait for the call then. On one hand, I felt a little relief that I wasn't judged by my faith or outfit but on the other hand, upset that the fact it proved my point.
Now I don't know if I would take the job if I do get it that is. There's a lot of 'if' in this entry. *pfffffft*

On Bended Knees...
Imagine why ? No I wasn't being proposed at or to for that matter. It has been raining hippos and dinos the past few days and the weather is more unpredictable than usual. But on the contrary, today the sun was scorching and I can feel the top of my head being baked and imagined it looking like the potato mounted bread from delifrance . Its only a week away from the festive season and I have few more orders to fulfil. So I made a trip to TM's NTUC and filled up the shopping cart according to the list made earlier. Done. Paid. Both hands occupied with heavy plastic bags. Still have few more things to get but at another location. Had planned to walk to Tamp Mart but the heat and weight (not mine) lead a detour.
On the bus I go. I almost missed my stop cause I was in a daze and feeling a little tired. Off the double-decker. As I was walking towards the shop, there was this guy standing about 7 steps away from me. He was so darn familiar, not the fact that he looked like Haizad (S'pore Idol) but I swear I met him somewhere. Oops head rush....must be the heat. And before I know it, all the things in my hands came crashing down with me and I landed on my knees in front of that guy while hanging on to the plastic bags for my dear life. Double ouch. An apek behind me went "aiyoh!". Picked myself up and made sure none of my stuff were squashed or destroyed. Ok that is by far THE MOST embarassing and painful at the same time, incident ever. Me. Clutz. Always. I didn't even dare to look at anyone's face in fear that my ears will burn a hole in my tudung or my physique will instantly shrink *think Ally McBeal* away from everyone's sight. I could even hear the trees snickering at me.
I can't stop laughing and almost at tears too at myself when I replay the scene in my baked head. How sad is that ? But it doesn't seem funny when I touch my poor knees. Ouch Ouch...

Moral of the story -> Don't give a hoot about who looks familiar when your hands are full!
I still can't put my finger on who he was...lets hope he don't remember me at all...

Pengumuman
Ini bukan kali pertama atau kedua ada manusia insan yang tag shoutbox kotak pekik saya dan mengatakan bahawasanye mereka-mereka telah nampak saya di tempat-tempat tersebut tetapi tidak meninggalkan sebarang links informasi tentang diri mereka walaupon setakat alamat e-mail. Disini saya ingin mengumumkan bahawasanye barang sesiapa yang terlihat ternampak terserempak terpijak terjeling tersenyum terpandang dan semua yang sewaktu dengan 'ter' dengan diri saya ini tak kira lah dimana saja biarpon dibawah jembatan, diatas bumbung, ditepi jamban, didalam kedai, diatas meja, didalam kereta, ditepi tangga; silalah kunjungi dan berilah salam kepada muka sardin seposen ini yang pasti tidak akan gigit atau mencederakan (kalau tak percaya pergi beli insurans) mereka-mereka yang berbuat demikian. Sekiranya anda terlalu malu kerana tiada batang hidung atau hilang sebijik mata, anda memang dibenarkan tegur saya di blog ini, akan tetapi jangan lah melibatkan seseorang jika anda kurang pasti identitinya yang boleh menimbulkan fitnah dan kesangsian. Pokoknya selidik dahulu. Saya tidak menyalahkan sesiapa kerana mereka mungkin tidak sedar atas sejarah yang tertentu. Ia langsung tidak menjadi masa'alah sekiranya sesiapa yang tegur di kotak pekik saya, tetapi sudah beberapa kali telah dikaitkan dengan maklumat yang tidak tepat. Lebih baik kalau ada digicam tu petik lah skali! Pendek kata kan lebih afdhal jikalau terus tegur boleh lah kita berceloteh dan mengenal diri antara satu sama lain.
Dan satu lagi peringatan; alamat email saya telah pon lama diiklankan dalam lelaman ini. Jangan lah sengaja segan silu sampaikan menghantar saya email kosong yang hanya menyemakkan inbox dan membuang masa saya klik sana sini. Email saya pon tidak gigit orang. Sudah terang nama anda terpampang disitu, jadi gunakan lah dengan sepenuhnya. Email saya terbuka kepada semua fan-mail ke hate-mail ke asal jangan junk-mail.
Sekian, Terima Kasih.
Wassalam.
Wassalam.

One mistake was all it took. I only have myself to blame.

Variables..
CF cards need replacement.New rechargeable batteries.
Tickets fully booked.
Broken pieces of furnitures.
Items to sell of.
Undercharged orders.
Insufficient cash flow.
In between of contemplations.
Old news resurfacing.
Missing her already.
The return of the Mack. Irritation.
Lack of storage.
Constant cycle of networking in this small world.
Overused vocabs.
Fighting temptations.
Useless time-wasting agencies.
Uninvited aches feat. endless weird dreams.
Void relapse.
