love is cinta,cinta is love

Last Friday, my family and I went over Alamanda to catch a movie. We end up with Love, an Indonesian flick. Tagged along was my cousin, Nadia with my aunt and my uncle.

Nazmi, my little brother, no so little anymore, he’s already 14 years old, goes sour all the time over our choice of movie. But he doesn’t want to left behind at home, no choice but to tag along. Kesian…

Love is the reminiscences of the old Cinta, which won the Malaysian award last year. You know, the most talked about movie that has several top actors lined up. The faces like Nanu, Rahim Razali, Eizlan Yusoff, Fasha Sanda,emm...so many lah. Love has the same movie plot but just different actors and environment.

In Love, actors like Acha, Irwan, Widayawati and Luna Maya graces the movie. It’s a sweet movie, a little bit dragging at first, but hats off to Acha Septriasa. She acts naturally for a newbiz. But couldn’t take my eyes off from Luna Maya. So damn gorgeous, dazzling and oh,my, I wish I look like her.

Since I’m yet to have to opportunity to watch Cinta, Malaysian one, I couldn’t make comparison between this two. My dad and Nadia picked Cinta, as it funnier, my mom and my aunt picked Love instead as it sweeter than Cinta.

Watching the movie makes my heart melted over Jakarta. From the movies, they are snapshots of places that I’m so familiar with it. It makes me want to go over there again. Oh, I went to Jakarta last year with Farah and Sarah for a blessing 5 days. Perhaps, next year we want to go for Bali, well depends on our bank account.

Oh, don’t forget the sweetest song ever in this movie, Sempurna by Andra and The Back Bone. Here we goes:

kau begitu sempurnadimata ku
kau begitu indah
kau membuat diri ku akan slalu memujamu
disetiap langkah kuku kan slalu memikirkan diri mu
tapi saat ku bayangkan hidupku tanpa cintamu
jangan la kau tinggalkan diri
kutak kan mampu menghadapi semuahanya bersama mu
ku akan bisakau adalah darahku
kau adalah jantungku
kau adalah hidup
kulengkapi diriku
oh sayang engkau begitusempurna(2x)

kau genggam tanganku
saat diri ku lemah dan terjatuh
kau isikan kata
dan hapus semua sesal ku
jangan la kau tinggalkan diriku
tak kan mampu menghadapi semuahanya
bersama mu ku akan bisakau adalah darahku
kau adalah jantungkukau adalah hidupkulengkapi diriku
oh sayang engkau begitusempurna(2x)

jangan la kau tinggalkan diriku
tak kan mampu menghadapi semuahanya bersama mu ku akan bisa
kau adalah darahku
kau adalah jantungku
kau adalah hidupku
lengkapi diriku
oh sayang engkau begitu
kau adalah darahku
kau adalah jantungku
kau adalah hidupku
lengkapi diriku
oh sayang engkau begitu(2x)

my first domestic flight,jakun giler...

The last two weeks has been a hectic week for me. Totally exhausted but undeniably a sweet memory all together.

Last week also marked my life as it is my first time travel by airplane. No, of course i’ve been in the airplane before, it just that I never flying locally. My last trip was Jakarta. Izzat, my manager sent me over to JB to oversee ET Changes Briefing by Australian Embassy. Don’t ask me what the heck is that, I’m still trying to get a grip on this whole airline industry.

Ok, lets start it with me almost missed my flight. Yes, my name has been called twice and can be heard in KLIA. No one has ever told me that from the check in gate towards the boarding gate it would takes like 15 to 20 minutes walking. So apparently, it’s not my fault. The moment my name blaring from the speaker, I sprinted like an athlete competing in Olympic Games wearing high heels no less.

The moment I’m on board, there are passengers looking at me disapprovingly. Ek eleh, relax lah. Lambat sikit je. But its ok afterwards, a cute guy sat besides me. Not all the time we had someone cute sitting with us in the airplane, right? He started asking me a lot of questions, fine, you’re cute, but I’m totally not in the mood because I had a headache at that time. I hate flying and always need to take ‘ubat tahan muntah’. He’s rather surprised when I told him I’m on business trip as he thought I’m still a student, going back to kampong and even surprised when I told him I’ve been in the working scenes for 4 years already. Hehe, he told me I look younger than my age. I get that all the time. Maybe I’m rather petite.

The best thing about my trip is the staff discounts. Woohoo, that’s the real reason I was late, hehe. Everything is so cheap, from the perfumes to foods, tax free plus 20% staff discounts in all KLIA outlets. I bought myself and my mom Dior lipsticks, way much cheaper than buying it elsewhere.

Couldn't wait for another trip!

p.s i love you

This book should be top of anybody’s' 'to read' list. The book that I bought while waiting for my flight to JB has brought me to tears at so many points. Simply said I just couldnt put it down!!

Despite the novel's sappy and mushy title, the book is very well written. I was skeptical at first due to the cutesy title and the very typical topic choice of love, but don't let that deter you from putting this book. PS, I Love You is Irish writer Cecelia Ahern's first novel, published in 2004. The book reached #1 bestseller status in Ireland (for 19 weeks), the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Friends know me well that I never buy books on love, avoiding at all cost on title that have the word ‘love’. Puh…lease…Mine usually involves murder, suspense, life stories, court proceeding from Sidney Seldon, John Grisham, Stephen King (not that I’m looking over some points to kill someone, hehehe).

The plot is about this 30year old heroin, Holly trying to come to terms that his husband died young out of cancer. But before he succumbed to death, he wrote 12 notes for Holly to be open each month. This is where all the adventures begin. Those notes are like instructions from Death Valley asking her to do a lot of things that Holly has never dream of doing before. My most favorite is the last note, the 12th letter, a husband wish for her wife to seek and never lost hope on finding a new love. That I think is the most unconditional love ever.

The writer manages to make people to really understand the main character’s feeling over losing his husband. The way she describes it so relax, real and genuine. Somehow she is successful in not trying too hard in making the reader crying along.

In the end, life must goes on…

second hand laptop is mine

Got myself a laptop. Second hand, hand over, passed down one. Not this one! Yes, spanking red Dell. I’ve been dreaming for one for the past few months. God answered my prayers even though I asked for a brand new laptop. Takpe, still alhamdulilah.

I notice that my fellow workers love to bring their laptops to the meetings, typing there and then on what needs to be done. Well, it’s rather a “phony-like IT junkie” to me at first. It was as if you cannot type it later, as my usual paraphernalia to bring in the meeting is my black organizer (free gifts from TV3 during Media Prima screenings). Thanks TV3 for always giving cool door gifts.

The reason that I badly need a laptop is because I had enough on all the taunting and mocking of not having one “Apa ni, rep from Corporate tak de bwk laptop,buat malu department je”, the usual remarks I’ve been gotten lately. Sabo jelah!

Well, thanx to my handsome, baik hati brother Fazul, for giving me his. It’s still new actually. Since he is working to this ‘super poyo’ company, Dell, surely he couldn’t bring his own laptop spells “Compaq” to the office.

Anyway, he can always brings 2-3 Dell laptop to home. My house has become a kilang laptop pulak, plus my dad has one (courtesy of the company too), my mom has one (which has Hak milik kerajaan Malaysia sticker), my third brother, Syahir has one too.

My dream laptop definitely is this new brand red spanking Dell laptop. Yes, I admit, I know nuts about the specs and all; all I care is because it comes with vivid colours of red, yellow, lime green than the usual boring black in colour. I’ve been planning all along to save my upcoming bonus this year to buy one. I’m going to get it cheaper than the market price since Fazul, as staff aka kuli in Dell gets special discounts.

But then, I’m content enough with my new second hand laptop at the moment ;-)

fatty

I'm so fattttt now, please,what should i do? i ate a lot of McD's lately, almost everyday non stop. i craved for it for weeks. Oh,i should stop before it kills me. and the worse thing can happen is when i can no longer fit intoo my clothes...

It's not like i like McD that much,perhaps it's totally nearby my office, where i can cross the road and make a quick visit and splurge myself with it, oh,dont mention about the ice cream sundae, with strawberry please...

i really need to stop...

Man...

This year we’ve been bombarded with news of sex scandal that rocks us both locally and internationally. Here, we have the ex- Health Minister, Chua Soi Lek as a champion. Later, we also heard about New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer engages a prostitute for quite sometime. A prostitute! He later resigned amid a scandal over a $1000-an-hour prostitute, ending a career built for years.

He can have the world in his lap, but he stupidly shoves it away by sleeping with a whore.
No one will remember what Bill Clinton has done to his country, even though record shows that he managed to bring the US economy to the boom. What is he thinking at that time? You have Hillary, an intelligent, savvy woman who helped him to the presidency, yet he look after an ugly intern. An intern who later without remorse launched her won talk show. No shame.

Chua Soi Lek, who would imagine the well-liked minister, would ever do such thing. He is so sad that Malaysians couldn’t seem to forgive him even after he made a full confession. Who would? Why should us? You’re wife-cheater, and we don’t need such person to lead us in this country.

Yes, he has done a great job, but not thanks, off you go. Let it become a reminder to others, to man especially, you can have millions in the bank, you can become the president of a great country and own the world but if you cheat on your wife, you’re finish. All the great things you’ve done are gone forever.

That is the power of woman. A wife, who has been there for you all this while, when you are nothing, not the whore who stand behind you all this while.

All the men, name it, from Clinton to Chua Soi Lek, their wife stays. No one left. When New Governor made his public statement, his wife stood behind him, showing a brave face even though I bet she is hurt like hell. What about Hillary? What about Chua’s wife? They forgive and forget. They’ve been humiliated in the public; their personal life has been under scrutiny of the media who devours the stories for weeks. I salute these wives, yet I think these men didn’t deserve them at all.

Shame on this guys, you never value your wife, yet when they’re in the worst moment in their life, their wife stood with them steadfastly. But it’s too late, the trust is gone, and the world knows them as a person who could not keep their pants on.

Frienship Evolves

While chatting with Sarah (our daily activity at work) she asked me the name of the food that we’ve ate the previous day during our lunch break. At our most favourite restaurant, Cozy Corner in Ampang Park. It’s totally ravishing. However, I’ve told her I couldn’t really remember the name or what’s really called, it’s something like “boneless chicken with cashew nuts” but I do know how to cook it.

What’s really funny here is that, I never picture here asking me for the recipe, and we’re now swapping recipes. What next? We’re changing tips on how to raise a baby?

As I can see now, our friendship evolve, from exchanging stories on how horrible the lecturer, who’s the tyrant one while back in uni, we swapped shoulders while cursing our exes and love life, then we move to curse our bosses, the company, the small bonus, our never enough paycheck (well, we still do that until now, shame on us).

She got married last year, and starts a new life. Even though I’m yet to follow her footstep, we share stories about marriage life too (not stories in bedroom, ok, you pervert!). And I can see her changes a lot, a good one. She starts on buying things for kitchen, browsing through internet in finding new recipes. In fact, she can put together a roast chicken while closing her eyes, no big deal. Bravo Sarah!

Now since i gave you the recipe of "boneless chicken with cashew nuts thingy", do try it Sarah, but please tell Elhan, if anything happens to him while eating it, i hold no responsibility at all!!! There, i said it,im going to have this as an evidence if Elhan decides to bring it to court.
