cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get things right.!!

no celebration this year. no counting down to 1. no parties. no nothing. just me thinking of going off to bed early. sigh~ ......went to see my baby a few days ago. the progress looks good. i hope the complete it early. can't wait to live by my own. my own home :)

Merry Christmas! :)

i have a christmas dinner with shah, leo & marcus. we went up to look out point and tried different restaurant this time. the food wasn't good enough & i couldn't finish mine. before that, went out with is & the geng and met up niza & her family.

the boy doesn't seem to like me much. haha

a few more shots :)

it's now 4.45am & i can't sleep. arghhhhh!!

i got a new credit card from UOB. now, it's platinum. i was so surprised to see the credit limit given! i was too high. too dangerous for someone like me. let just say it's 5 figures limit. it's way more than my maybank card which the limit is 10k.



gonna love it!!!

just some sneak peak of how my workplace look like.

this is my table. the window is just behind me. it's like my seat has the best view ever. me & jue of course. she sat beside me. :)

so, my first assignment is to teach Bahasa at Matu Social Organisation (MSO) School at Taman Bukit Cheras. The location is quite near to where i stay. This school consist of 104 Myanmar students from the ethnic group Matupi. i know... i never have a teaching experience. and my bahasa sucks. but i really want to do this. besides, they need only basic bahasa.

you might wondering why so sudden? why volunteering? why now?

basically, i have involved in charity / volunteer work since primary school. i was an active red cross member until high school. but i stopped when i entered university. i do tried to resume back in 2007, when i volunteer for Yayasan Salam, but it was way too "religious" for me. i wants no biasses. human right are equal!

i don't know why, but i feel good when i do something good for someone. and 'karma' plays great part in my life.

i was out and about with is today. he came from sarawak for a meeting or something. and i have arranged for an off day to go out with him. we went to pavilion, my current favorite place to hang out. is is basically my childhood friend. we've been friend since lifetime!

i guess, friendship do last long.

then, we met a few of his friends that i knew. just hang out a bit and went back home.

ps: i'll be starting my volunteer work with UNHCR. can't wait!

i would love to.... :)

Hello,

I'm in the process of placing volunteers with different centres.
Regarding your application, I was wondering if you would consider to
teach Bahasa Malaysia? Many refugees would like to learn Bahasa, but we
have a lack of teachers! You don't need to have experience from teaching
Bahasa - they mainly need to learn the basics, and focus is on having
conversations on Bahasa.

Many thanks,

mimpi hanya mainan tidur.... is it so?

i have a new nickname. now..... it's azry.

good lord. i have plenty of nicknames through my whole life. am i so adorable that people keep on giving me nicknames?? sigh~ :p i've been called umik, qaymet, cobra, jude, ajude, penyiasat remaja (long story..), kechik, budak kecik,..... and the list goes on.

there's a story behind every nicknames. my fav is peniasat remaja. it happened when i was a new kid on the block at a new school. specifically, science miri secondary school. they have some kind of "religous talk" in a surau, which all muslim students need to be present. i was a fan of manga (japanese comics) and was a collector at that time. my friend, sally, borrowed the comic and was reading it in the surau! she been caught and to make matter worse, my name was on the book!

the next day, on morning roll-call, i've been the most popular girl in school. one of the teacher called my name out loud in front on everyone (not a very good first impression). it wasn't even my fault! that manga tittled "penyiasat remaja". i was called that name since.

that's something i can't never forget.

you are interesting.

yeah right.

it's true! it's a compliment! you are!

thanks :p

PAUL ANKA - TIMES OF YOUR LIFE

Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life? (do you remember?)

Reach out for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the setting sun (the setting sun)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

ps. we can't be everyone cup of tea, can we?

being a customer service let me see a whole different perspective on human behavior. human are complex being and what exactly playing in their mind, we wouldn't know. i know for sure, customer isn't always right. most of the time, they are totally WRONG!

i have been curses almost every day by non-thankful customers. they thought they always right and tried to find any other reason to being so. because of the policy "customer always right", we let them be. and because i can't curse them back, i just kept it to the heart.

please... don't be that kind of customer. if you want something, request politely. if you make mistake, just admit. we'll assist you as much as we can. not just to point finger that the bank cheated on you. the bank never cheat. you are the one who is so damn stupid to do what you did.

whatever it is. being rude is never an answer.

♪ Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain, And let me be alone again. ♫

it's still raining!

i parked too far from menara TM. that is what happen if i have afternoon shift. my shift was at 11am and i was out from my home at 10am. 10.20am i have arrived and made a few circles just to find a parking for which at last i parked in TM Annexxe.

it was raining heavily when i finished my shift and i have no umbrella. i waited for the rain to stop but up until 9pm, i did not. just i just make my own way through the rain.

it's been too long since i last danced in the rain :p

it's jue's wedding day! :)

went to jue's house for the wedding, but can't wait until "bersanding". went to pavilion right after to catch a movie. it has been a few days we've been food hopping. from klcc to mid valley, from mid valley to pavilion. the fav of all: sakea sushi.

proudly presenting our new hairdo :)

i have a blast today! :)

right after work, went to klcc to just have a quick dinner at sakae sushi with the team. roslin loved it so much that every chance she have she ask to eat there. then, went to pavilion with roslin, sinyee & wai lian.

charles told me about the "snow" which will start at 8pm. we arrived 1 mins before and the snow start to fall. it was so nice! i love christmas!

the deco was so nice & lovely. there were free stuff given out by coke & adidas!

i felt sooo annoyed & irritated!

my cousin at first asked me to help him to go somewhere. it was fine with me as i don't mind helping him cause he doesn't have any transport currently. he borrowed his car to a friend. i finished work at 5pm and planned to go to klcc right after. because of his request, i cancelled!

i kept on asking him why i need to tag along as i can just gave my car to him. but he insisted me to go. i can sense something was going on, and my intuition proved me right. he persuaded me to join some kind of mlm (multi level marketing)!!

i'm not someone who's easy to convince. i have a trust issue. they tried to explain the great things whatsoever if i join them! i was being advised by some kind of higher management! i felt really pissed.

the thing was, their source of fund wasn't clear enough. just kept on mentioning that it was based on rolling system. what rolling system?? what is your product?? if you say we don't have to give anything, not even 1 cent, how do you generate your income?? you don't even have a product to sell!

i can see there was a hell lot of people who joined. everyone was dressed for the occasion, showing off how well they were. LVs & Prada everywhere. so was mercedes, bmw or audi.

whatever you were doing, it takes a LOT more to convince me, try harder or just stop trying!

today is naszri birthday. and as the most lovable and kind of "perasan glamer" person, he unashamedly emailed everyone in the office to ask for a birthday wish. he went to my place just to show off his new handphone! said that it was from someone who admired him. i don't understand why girls flocking around him. he is such a drama king :p haha. luckily he's a nice person.

all of us planned a surprise birthday celebration, which kind of being forced into, with our line manager contributed the most. we have makan2, gift session and sort of. although it was a party for 3, it was mostly due to him. so larger than life.

wth! as long as i got a free makan2. :)

what a day!

i'm off today. so, i went to pick up m shipment at nationwide express at taman maluri (i wasn't home when they came to deliver the thing). i have informed my lawyer clearly that i want them to courier to other address, but still... i don't know what to say anymore.

i wasn't familiar with that area and i no longer having gps on my new phone. i just go and search for the place. i can consider myself very good with the road. you can give me any address, i can find it. with my intuition. i don't even get lost!

right after, when i'm on my way to mid valley, i, like all others, didn't stop at yellow light and just speed straight ahead although the light changed to red. and right in front of me, is a road block. i can't avoid and the policeman asked me to stop. at first i thought, oh gosh, there goes my $300. the officer asked a lot of question of why i didn't stop. and i have no excuses! i just kept silent, with my face as guilty as hell, just nod to whatever he said and ready to have the given fine. suddenly he said "just go", i was like, "REALLY???" a few times! i thanked him hundred times and drove away. i was so damn relieved!! this was the second times i been let go. previously i begged the officer until i was close to tears! that one was because i drive while talking on the phone. haha.

then, i went to the garden, mid valley. i was looking for a present for jue. leo then joined me and right after, nora jumped in. i was stopped to signed for 3 credit cards which i agreed to sign just because it has been my lucky day.

we went back when all the shops closed and stop to have dinner at a stall beside victoria club in kerinchi.

christmas is around the corner!

nora.

there was this someone, a guy, said this;

"azra, you make me hungry, i want to eat you"

and i was like "huh?". then he continued..

"there's a double meaning in those words"

smiled and he walked away.

it was really uncomfortable though flattered.

men... don't say that kind of thing to a girl.

i'm in love with Audrey Hepburn.

she's every women should be.

elegance. beauty. poise. timeless.

today is Jue's last day before her 2 weeks marriage leave. can't believe she's getting married next week! i wish her all the best & very happy for her :) i first met jue when i start working in ocbc. she was the same batch with me and went to training together with the other 20s. she wasn't wearing tudung back then and used to wear fancy dresses and stilettos. the "maggie mee" curly hair is what i remembered most about her and also the "genting dress" that up till today, she will never wear again. haha.

we was in the same team for the past 1 year and hopefully will still be. what i love most about her is that she has all the qualities of a good friend. nice, trustworthy, soft spoken, kind hearted, she really knows how to "jaga hati" her friends, including me, which very "dominance". well.... the list goes on.

she's into fancy things. the high-end brand. she's very the girlie2 and loves the thing a girl should love. she once said that i'm not "ladies" enough. hrrmmmm...! sad but true. i considered myself more like bella, the twilight heroin. haha

well jue... if you read this, which i doubt, i wish you all the best for your new life, showered with great love and happiness until the end of time. God bless you and your husband to be. :)

again, i was influenced so much by Y.E.S (Year End Sale!). again, i blamed the government for introducing such activity, which, for someone like me, is dangerous. and today, i was totally in the mood of Y.E.S!

btw, happy eid mubarak to all muslim! it's a day of scarification. what have i sacrifice today? nothing much. i was on call and need to work from 8am to 12pm. right after, jue & me went to klcc to do some shopping :)

jue bought a couch handbag priced at RM 1600, went dinner at Sakae Sushi (yummy!) and right after, ritz joined us. at first, i don't want to buy anything, but then, i bought a few set of bras (2) & panties (5). no regret! i love em too much :)

by the way.. it's Y.E.S. who would want to miss it right?!

Conference Rooms, 3rd Floor

i have a training 2 days in a row. the training called "BEEonPartnership". well, better than serving customer from hell. it was all about how to "partnering" at work as well as in life :p

the training was done at menara OCBC in dataran merdeka. that means, i need to take tren and i hate taking tren. it's way too crowdy. the first day i arrived quite early. i waited almost 1/2 hour before the training started. like most training could be, i thought at first it would be boring. but, the trainers was so good that i almost didn't fall asleep at all! btw, there are 2 trainers, a male & a female. comparing the two, i preferred the female one because she was much more fun :)

it mostly talked about etiquette. you know, that sort of thing. there is one point of the training, that we need to assess our own personal behavior using some kind of behavior study called DISc which stand for Dominance, Influencer, Steady and Compliance. Dominance more like the bosses type. someone who is always right and supposed to be the dominator of the group. Influencer, which compromise most of people today, is much more friendly & talkative. Steady, is someone who also saying YES, as they most probably doesn't know how to say NO, the most loyal among all. and finally, the Compliance is someone which need everything in black & white & following procedure.

guess which i am at? surprisingly, i am Dominance! There were only 2 person in dominance. and most of the trainee were Influencer. the way the trainer say it, it was like we are the type of person who everyone would love to hate. huh? well, i do make enemy easily :)

p.s first passerby : "Your Choice.. RIGHT or WRONG"

second passerby: "You Know You Are Not RIGHT"

i was like...what the heck?

when people ask which i hate the most of my body part, i would say, the hair. nope, not the hair on top or your head, it's the body hair. you know, the standard one, the legs, the underarms & the bikini area. i, if possible, i want to remove all of them & stop it from keep on growing. but, it's impossible.

what i usually did, is to shave it. it's the quickest way. for legs, yes, i do it all the times. but for underarms, let just say, i kind of pluck it out. for bikini, well, you know what i did :)

i did waxing previously, for legs. but it way too painful for me, then i stopped. then i just shave. but for bikini area, shaving makes me uncomfortable. so, i want to try waxing it off. i want to just go to the likes of waxing spa, where the people there would do it for you. but i was afraid, if it's would hurt. so, last night, i bought this wax strips.

i did a few times, until i decide to stop. i did only for my bikini lines.

does it hurt? it is, definitely! would i do it again? absolutely! :)

i would also like to try brazillian wax. haha

first day at menara went smoothly. but some cracks here and there. well, i have an issue with the parking. i don't know how to enter the parking bay! at last, i just parked illegally. luckily enough, it's saturday. what can i say?

the reception area.... not inviting at all.

the majectic menara TM. on the left!

inside. it's still unorganized. the mover still installing leftovers here & there. that's me standing over there!! :

our office located at 21st floor. the weird thing is, you need to use different lift for odd floors and vice versa. and it's kind of odd for me. why can u just use the same lift??! if you take the lift to go down, it can stop at every single floor, without differentiating either odd or even floors. lol!

manara TM here i come!!!!

well, basically, i heard a LOT of "so not nice" stories of peeps who have started working here. i hope i'll survive. :)

scary huh?

very the "end of day" kind of thing

taken just before the heavy rain.

my office currently is a wreck. it has been confirm we'll be moving to menara TM this friday. well, i'm off, so i'll be moving on saturday :) i don't know whether to be happy or sad about this matter. a lot has resign because they don't want to move. i'm ok with it as it'll be nearer to where i stay. but i can't stand the traffic! and the parking! sigh~ i'll shall wait & see. :)

i remembered!

my second dream was that i'm stuck in a war-torn country. i tried to go back, but i couldn't. i'm stuck! life was so damn hard over there. and last night, i dreamt a pretty bad dream, yet again. 3 nights in a row. why la???

i woke up with my 2nd not so pleasant dream. but i don't remember what was it about. why do i have 2 nightmares in a row? stupid.

i woke up kind of early to settle my house. went to cimb to get the banker's cheque and went straight to berjaya times square to meet the developer and handed over the cheque. i've settled everything and now i'm so relieved.

i'm on 4 pm today.. a few more hours to go. i love evening shift. :)

bujie called last night and the first thing he said was "how's your boyfriend?" in sarcastic way, and i kind of regretted telling anything to him. actual fact is, i told everything. he is by the way, knows whatever thing i'm in.

we were supposed to meet up today. it has been ages since i last met him. he's my high school mate and come to think of it, we never lost in touch! wow.. it's been like 11 years. but the meeting was somehow not happening because of the rain.

i have 2 off days in a row which was quite rare. i planned to do my thesis but in the end, i did nothing. i napped until noon. gosh!

i woke up with a strange dream. i dreamt that i have only a few days to live! and what did i do? nothing! i just waited for it to happen. in the end, it wasn't happening at all until i woke up.

that was so not me. if i have only a few days to live, i would do everything that i really want to do. but the thing that i can think of for now, is to go traveling. then, just go with silent, so that nobody would know.

what best to do on lazy saturday? i listened to backstreet boys! haha.

it's kind of reminiscence some good old days, when i was just in my pre-adult age. i remembered when these guys were bigger than life. when nick carter was my prince charming, melting my heart with his cute eyes & oh the hair. every single where, i would hear their songs.

me myself loved them so much i remembered every single word of their lyrics and would dance when no one was looking :) i swear i did promised myself to be their biggest fan and would buy all their album when i have enough saving of my own. how i missed those days when i still have my book of lyrics. ***wondering what happens to all my lyrics books***

well... i've finished cleaning my room. i just realized it's so damn dirty.

just back from jue's hen night which was cancelled last time. it was a simple celebration at haagen daz which we ordered fondue. it was a blast! jue prepared a goodie bag for each of us. it contained la senza panties, keychain & some sweets. so nice!!




right after, we have our dinner at sakae sushi. also yummy. :)

orang tua2 pesan.....

ikut rasa - binasa

ikut hati - mati

ikut otak - tak tau betul ke tak

habis tu nak ikut ape?

p.s people rarely know they have the power to break hearts. even with simplest gesture.

i feel so sad.. but i don't know why..

gosh. my new phone is real trouble.

last night i restored the phone to factory setting, for which i'm not supposed to. then, it was locked and needed to be activated. i tried doing all the troubleshooting by my own, but to no succeed. then i gave up.

went back to the store where i purchased the phone after work. and it cost me rm90 just to unlock the phone. stupid phone. luckily it was back to normal.

before i knew it, i have bought it! sigh~

i really need to control my spending.

i really need my sleep yesterday as i couldn't sleep in flight. but, instead, i end up at mid v & garden with ritz and right after having dinner with jack at santai.

i fell asleep at around 12am and guess what?!, i woke up at 4am! it's newcastle time for 7am, which was the time i woke up in aussie. great~ i really need my sleep!!!

i'm back in KL after 4 days in australia. it was good to be there, but it's great to be back here :)

my flight on the 2nd was at 9am, so i need to be at the airport at around 7am, which i did. i thought i was among the first to checked in and requested for a seat near the window. to my dismay, the flight was full and almost 90% has checked in, well, i have the worst seat ever, the last row, in the middle, near the lavatory and the guess beside me was an obes, luckily he was a nice guy. yet, it was 777! i have to bear all those in 8 hours flight. sigh~ and yet again, mas have the best entertainment program. i watched 3 movies in a row!

arrived at syney kingsford smith international at around 8pm. gab was already there waiting for me. we then drove straight to newcastle, where he stayed. the house was so damn nice!

tuesday, we woke up early and headed up to sydney. went to sydney harbour & botanic garden and just simply drooling around town. wasn't really up to anything. the weather was as hell. it was around, maybe above 31ºC. it was so damn hot my feet burnt. at around 5pm, we went back to newcastle. one thing about sydney is the parking i way too expensive! for 3 hours and more, it cost us AUD42! imagine when i convert to RM. sigh~

wednesday, gab was working, so i have a day on my own. i strolled around newcastle city. it wasn't big. i love the town. i love the beaches and the shophouses & the houses itself. everything is so "cute"! but, there was one incident that i couldn't forget. when i passed by two teenagers which hang around in their car, one of them screamed at me. "hey baby, i'm on ice!!!", i looked and saw his face was as red as blood. i was alone and shaken. he keep on screaming like mad. and i just ignored them. it was way scaring me.

but beside all those, newcastle is great!, i love how life is going on there. it's relaxing, the weather was great. well, the weather dropped dramatically compares to when i'm in sydney. it was just nice, a bit chilled, but nice. just like genting highland in here. almost forgot, people come here to surf. the waves are high enough.

on my 3rd day, i planned to just hang around newcastle, as i haven't finish my journey, but then, i fell asleep and my feet hurt too much to even walk. so, i just stayed at home. nothing much.

on my last day, we went to sydney aquarium. it was nice. though i have to admit, i didn't go to anywhere else. supposedly can, but, well... what to do. the timing wasn't perfect enough.

looking forward to my next holiday... but where to? i want to go to kathmandu laa.
