MIssing them...

My heart felt heavy as I thought of tomorrow... I'll be leaving Raub for KL, started to work again on Tuesday. I guess this is the 1st time where my heart felt reluctant to depart from my friends -- hometown buddies that we had spent time growing up together. It was god that the festive season actually gave us all a chance to be reunited again -- to check out about each other, how's everyone and to share all those silly and funny memories we once had when we were younger. This was the 1st time I completely having fun and enjoying myself with them -- better than any year before where I lock myself at home watching tv.

I never had such great time with friends since I enter Uni -- no matter it's Uni mates nor hometown buddies. This time around was indeed a great opportunity for me to bond with them again :)

We started to gamble almost every nights -- just some simply games of blackjack and 'niu' with small bets :P .... As for the guys, 99% of them will be the drinkers and smokers after the girls went back home. Haha... sometimes I wonder when will they stop drinking and smoking... God bless :)

For the past few nights, friends hang out at my place, playing cards and then going to get some food back for late late supper a.k.a early breakfast around 4 to 5am... :P We were the night owls for few nights till our group getting smaller and smaller -- left me and Mun Wai only...

I guess Ken Mee misses us a lot too as Mun Wai me that Ken Mee called him for no reason yesterday just to chit chat and listen to his buddy's voice.. haha... I hope I wont be like Ken Mee -- gila liao!

Ok, going to take a short nap. DHL!! STOP CONTACTING ME! IT'S HOLIDAY! Hahaha... my co-workers from all around Malaysia and RO had been contacting me non-stop for info and solutions on some issues occured... Tiring day for me... :)

Love,
Shin

p/s: God, please bless my friends and family. May they have the best of the year -- wealth, luck, health and wisdom :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!! :) Angpau mali.....

3 days more to go and it's Chinese New Year again... Still wondering what would happen this year, with all friends around and it's gonna be a long week a.k.a break for me too... Suddenly I just recapped something from last year...

Last year CNY wasnt a happy one.. although I was happy that my sis got married few weeks before CNY but as for my own personal life at that moment was totally sucks! Just a week before CNY last year, I was broke off from a 2 year relationship. The days back at home during the CNY was totally a set of gloomy and sufferings as well as 'pretending / acting' to be happy days.. You had to just pretend you are happy and nothing wrong is going on in your life that moment and it's really damn hard to go through. So, last year CNY is totally not my year and the coming one would probably be the best one so far.. hehe...

I really miss gathering with all m friends back at home. We grew up together, studied together, racing (motorbike) together, hang out at badminton court and mamak stall together till we all go seperate ways. Good enough that almost all of them already had a partner by their side where I am just happily being single at the moment :P

I took Hadi out for lunch today, since it's a farewell lunch for him, so I let him decide where he wanted to go. Without further endure, he said "Kenny!!"... so, we went to Kenny's Rogers for lunch. Throughout the time we discuss about our future career path, what he's going to do after his internship and what I'm going to do for the next few months and so on. Then suddenly he asked me about my ex. Should I tell him or not? He keep bugging me about it, so I just introduce this chap I once love to him -- what he's doing, his family, his studies and his favourite pass time. Hadi was laughing all the time listening to me as I made funny faces when I said out some words. He's not letting go the opportunity to asked me about Vincent too. "Apalah ko ni, kawan je la... kawan yang paling normal tu. Sebab I tak tahu camne nak communicate ngan dia"... was my answer and he didnt ask much after that as I guess he would understand what I meant... :P

I told Hadi that I would prefer to be with or hang out with someone who be who he or she is when they are with me -- not pretending something to impress me. No need to tell me what kind of music you listen to or what bombastic words you use in your speeches nor what extreme activity you do outdoor. Human and human relationship is all about comfort, trust and thoughfullness. Those are the main ingredients -- nothing else.

I just tried on my new rock shoes and I felt great when I tried to tip toe on the bed side to try out the pointed edge of the shoe. I can really stand nicely, firmly on the edge of the bed with just 2 or 3 cm! Wow... great!

Sleepy d... going to bed now...
Tomorrow will be a long day coz I'll be travelling home to Raub with my brother driving after work! Please pray hard for me as my bro's driving is scary! :P

Love ya all and Happy Chinese New Year,
Shin :)

My new rock climbing shoes..

Recently, fell in love with this new sport -- rock climbing... and at last Kenneth managed to persuade me to get my own shoe rather than keep on wearing my own sport shoe or the one rented from Camp5... Ok, in the end I give in and buy my own pair. It's from Rock Pillars and it's orange color :P Anyway, please don't ask me about the price, but what I paid for today is definitely much cheaper from the actual selling price :)

Been busy in office lately and am having slight confusion with the intern. She doesn't really as smart as she looks like and her expression during our (me and Surin) conversation wasnt even convincing at all. I'm a bit worried to hand over some task to her as I would prefer to do it myself and get busier. I guess, everyone had to be given a chance to learn something and I just hope she dont screw up what I had started! :)

Salina commented on Faeez beard today and it was funny that he came back to me and asked me through skype bout it. Salina was laughing when she read what he wrote. Basically it is important to keep ourself neat and tidy all the time, but sometimes, it's even more important to keep your ownself happy and comfortable rather than living out life towards what others expected. For me, he looks tidy enough to work and he's happy with it, so Faeez, cheer up and be happy k :)

Hadi having a hard time deciding his path after his internship... this Friday will be his last day. I shared with him that, honestly I was having a really tough time too when I was deciding and thinking hard where should I go after my internship last year. I received offer from SAS as well as DHL, and I had to made the decision of choosing the right one. DHL is offering me a contract job but something that I will enjoy doing -- Project Management... but SAS in the other hand if offering me a permenant full time job under Project Management too... in the end, due to some reasons and strong points, I had choosen to be in DHL. Now, the same feelings came back to haunt me again... What will happen if DHL couldnt continue my contract anymore? Will I be able to get hired by another company again during this economy situation? I am worried almost all the time, everyday basically about this but I am still performing hard to show them I am an asset to them and not just something temporary :)

Hope everything will be ok...

Vincent today asked me out for lunch, eh, not today, he asked today for tomorrow's lunch. Haha, unfortunately I had planned to do a farewell for Hadi. So I guess he had to wait then.. Was planning to order in dominoes tomorrow for Hadi's farewell lunch as Vachala would be a vegetarian and I really couldnt think of any other places to celebrate. I'm glad I got to know Hadi, he a really nice chap and I'm looking forward fo him to join DHL one day (Hope that i'm still around too :P)

Ok, going to check out my new shoe before I sleep... Take care everyone as CNY is just around the corner, 3 more days to go... I also nearly catch a fever yesterday, glad that now i felt better just with a minor migrain... :)

Nite ya all... God bless!

Love,
Shin :P

Hungry day...

At last... it finally ended at 7:10PM. The LCB trial run had been started since 10:00AM this morning... Oh my God, in the CMC room, it was freaking cold and the trial run was so intense that we have to crack our heads thinking of the proper processes to be proposed in order to replace the current processes.

I had my breakfast this morning but I had skipped lunch due to some work in office and then I had no time for dinner as well coz I got back home around 9:00PM just now... I went to the gym around 9:10PM then had a 40 minutes of brisk walk -- now... exhausted :P

Tomorrow I'll go climbing again -- this time it would be an indoor wall in 1 Utama, Camp5... We will be climbing from 12pm till 6pm... wow! I'm excited about it already! Hehehe...

Got to sleep earlier now... :)
Nite everyone...

Love,
Shin :P

Unhappy life...

Suddenly, without me realizing, the biggest fear of my life struck me again -- tears flowing down my cheeks... I had tried my very best to stay strong for the past few months, I knew life is tough and I knew I have to go through everyday with a smile but at this moment, I just felt it's too hard for me to move anymore...

So much had happened for the past few months, I felt weak but at the same time I was telling myself that I had to go through all these by myself with courage and hope. I smiled a lot, I laughed a lot, I joke, I sing and every other thing else... but at this moment I just lost the strength... All because I just realized that, all the time, what ever had happened to me, my family was never by my side giving me strength that I needed and they were never here lending me an ear to listen to me nor a shoulder for me to cry on. I had just realized that I am very tired now of walking alone for the past 23 years...

Few years ago, I thought I had found someone at last, someone who will be there for me when when I'm sad, someone who will always had patience for me to cheer me up when I'm down, someone who would just be by my side all the time... forever... Soon enough that I was hit by the reality -- things changed, human changed too. We broke up, and again, I need to deal with everything by myself again. Swallowing whatever happened to myself deep into my guts and in hope that all of it will be digested the next morning I woke up... The place for me to share my happiness and sorrows vanished just like that... No one knew how hard I felt, no one would even bother, especially my family. I thought he will be with me aiding me while I am having such unhappy family and siblings around me... but guess I just hope too much..

For the past few months -- since the time I came back KL for my Internship and really started working, I cried almost every day coming back home, almost everyday till I break down in front of mom... I keep asking mom why, why and why... and she could never able to answer my questions.. Why am I having siblings that dont talk to me? We are living in the same house but why it was speechless between us? Why dont she answer me when I talked to her? Why she ignored my words and I was left stranded standing there? Why must he scolded me stupid whenever I asked him something? Am I not human enough to be respected?

Why cant she talk to me face-to-face instead she just prefer to sms me when she wanted to tell me something? Although we are just in the room next to each other? Why she never pick up my call whenever I called her? Am I too embarrassing to be your sister? Am I too stupid to be your sister? Am I just not good enough to be loved like you love your brother? I am your little sister too...

People always said that being the youngest is the best, you got loved by everyone from small till you grew up. You get whatever you wanted easier compare to your other siblings.. Would that applicable to me? the answer would be 'NO'...

When I was small, none of my relatives love me like they love my sister and brothers. My sister used to have birthday parties almost every year, get new dresses and etc from them -- my aunts and uncles, till she grew up. What do I get? Nothing, not even a glance from them. I only got a pink teddy bear from them when I was 5 and my only birthday party with mom and siblings when I was 6.

When I was small, I used to be bullied by my cousins, no one wanted to play with me coz I was small and dark. I was pushed aside... Mom never really loves me that much. Her attentions were more on my brothers -- espcially the 2nd brother. I would be the last to get anything in the family... Only my dad, I was his favourite. I would get him his newspaper and glasses whenever he came back from the farm. Get him his coffee made by mom and sat beside him and talk to him. He was the one who would bother to hugged me and let me sat on his lap... He was the only one who would bother to talk to me and bring me down stairs to buy ice cream...

But why, in the end he too choosed to leave me here, stranded again... He had promised to teach me how to fish... He had promised to teach me how to drive... He had promised me too much which it left me here with only false hopes...

.... my brother just knock on the door.... I just not dare enough to open the door and let him see that I'm in tears... God, I really dont want to be in this situation but I am just not strong enough now... I used to have 'him' to talk to, but I have no one now...

No one in the house allowed anyone to talk about my dad. Although I hate him so much for abusing mom and deterioting the family till the way it is today, but he is still my dad... I used to cry when I miss him, back in campus.. but I was told that I am just silly to cry instead I should move on. I am moving on... but, cant I miss my own dad? Cant you understand the pain I am having?

I admit that I am silly enough of thinking about committing suicide because of the horrible family relationships... I really do... I was thinking, if I die, I wouldnt have to suffer so much anymore as I cant bear to see my family this way and envy others' family... I used to envy my ex relationship with his sister. He joke with her, bring her out and his sister too was closed to him... and guess what, his sister was the youngest, and I asked myself, I was the youngest too but why it is so different?...

I used to envy Felicia's family too. Her mom and dad were sporting and always joke with their own children. Felicia and her brother, Alvin were just like best buddies. They jokes, share stuffs and hang out together...

My eldest brother is still missing... I called and sms hundreds of times but he never answer me. Being ignored again. Mom is damn worried of him. CNY is coming, mom and I were thinking whether he will come back home or not... :(

I had made many first moves to change thing -- talking to them, but I was ignored. Helping with the house chores, but I was ignored. Cooking for everyone, but I was ignored. If you are going to treat me such way, why do you invited me to stay here with you at the first place? Might as well I just move out to a place of my own...

Sometimes, what make me stand up and moves on again is mom and also myself. Mom had suffered enough and she shouldnt not bear all this nonsense anymore. I had been given up by so many people so many times that I am very sick of it already... In the end, it would be only myself who will be walking down the road on my own.. I am the one who is composing my own story, the characters that appeared are just some supporting elements...

My eyes are going to look bad tomorrow morning when I woke up.. Darn! Should have hold those stupid tears back... :)

Love,
Shin :)

Maggee again... :P

Had tried my super duper best to stop the urge... but in the end... it just happened automatically that my hand moved over to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed a pack of maggee.. :P

I wasn't hungry at all, but I just keep having this stupid urge to eat maggee today... since lunch till now. Haha, guess I have to set a stronger mind set towards food then :P

I had 'chu cheong fun' for breakfast then I had a beef burger and fries for my lunch. None of those seems to fill up my stomach up to even 50%. Guess my stomach had grown bigger in size?? Hahaha... But interestingly is that my weight keep dropping although I am having regular meals and had been eating a lot too lately... I guess my weight now is somewhere 47 to 48kg -- dropped 2 to 3 kgs... :P

Yesterday evening our department was having this gift exchange party for Christmas, New Year & Birthday -- at last!! Everyone get their presents from someone they didnt know. Let me recap what everyone get:
  • Shin -- Cranberry Body Shop Range :) Smells good!
  • Surin -- A Sheaffer Silver Pen
  • Salina -- A set of glass ware
  • Vachala -- A nice Pink erm... scarf or something like that :P
  • Hadi -- A nice tie
  • BK -- A set of tool kit
  • Raj -- A very pretty tie
  • GSM -- Hehehe... a Green Starbucks Mug (erm... I wonder who gave this... hehehe)
Oh, I couldnt remember what everybody else got. Memory low! Hahaha... Today I just found out that my present was from big big boss -- GSM and what a coincidence, because his present was from me! Hahah... I was happy to know about this. Funny! Then we had a group photo after the party. There's a theme for the party anyway -- everyone have to dress in WHITE or PINK! Sad enough that there are some who didnt dress up to the theme, even worse, some mistaken PINK as YELLOW!! Hello Surin!!! PINK ar... bukan YELLOW arrr...!! Hahahha :P But no harm la, my boss (Surin) was cute and funny anyway...

Ok ok... it's time for my beauty sleep... the 3o minutes of gym can be quite tiring sometimes :)

Love,
Shin :)

The little kid and his dad :)

I saw this little boy and his dad in the LRT -- on my way back home to SS2. I think he's just around 5 or 6 years old, petite, with his red Ultraman shirt and pants on while he non-stop commenting on what he saw out the train's window to his dad. He asked his dad a lot of questions whereby I think someone without patience to kids would probably be annoyed -- but I found him cute in a way. His dad was a 40+ man with a kinda bold head :P and he would reply and explain to each and every questions his son asked...

I felt sweet in a way by watching them... and it eventually reminds me of my dad. I smiled when I think about him. I remember how he used to hug me when I was tired walking. He would carried me with his strong arms and I would wrapped my arms around his neck then I would not stop talking or asking questions to him (as like what the kid did in the LRT). Whenever he carried me in his arms, I could smelled the cigarate breath he had due to smoking and I dislike it. I would turn my face away whenever he breath.. hahha.... I was around 5 or 6 years old then... :)

I remembered how I used to sit on his laps when he came back from the farm. I dont know why I did that but it was a very spontaneous reaction or action that time -- guess I was still small then :)

I remembered how he used to hold my little hand and went downstairs at the Indian grocery shop to buy a tub of my favourite ice-cream -- Corn / Jagung flavour... He would asked me what I wanted and I would be busy playing with all those ice in the ice box :P Then when we got back at home, I would digged all the tiny corn out from the ice cream for myself and mom would knock me on the head for being naughty :P

I remembered when I was in Kindergarten, we were moving to a new house (the house I am staying now in Raub, Pahang -- 17 years ago) -- basically we need to clean the house before we move in. He bought me Play-Doh to keep me busy while I wont disturb the others doing their work. I still remembered it was a 3 little Play-Doh cans with Red, Blue and Green clays inside... :)

I remembered when I was in Form 2, he used to ride me to the grocery store to help him buy ciggarates on the Honda motorcycle.. On our way, he used to tell me a lot of stories which I never knew...

Erm... I wonder where he is now... I had told myself before not to think about him anymore after all those shits that had happened to us but today... I just couldnt stop myself from doing so.. I guess I am missing him today :(

Even worse, I am having migrain... perhaps due to the sleepless nights I had recently... :(

Love,
Shin :)

Lecturers... Inspiration and SiFu... :)

Just opened my blog after some short delay and... "Hi DHL Lady.." Hahahha, received a comment from Sir Yuz. Sir Yuz will drop by to KL next week and I am excited to meet up with him again since the last time I went back to Labuan, he wasnt around. Just called Dilla and told her baout this too, and she was even more excited than me! Hahaha...

Sir Yuz was our lecturer for 3 subjects -- Techno-preneurship, Internet Business Model and E-Marketing. He was out final project supervisor too -- Mai.com. I guess he's the only one lecturer in the school (Uni) that really awake us all from something... Let me discuss it in brief:
  • Sir Yuz -- He's the lecturer who opened our mind to business and $$$. What I learned from him was that studies are not all about books and exams, but it's all about how you stimulate your mind to grow especially in business and how to generate revenue! There are some risks needed to be taken in order to reach that higher level. We all need money and loves money, so sometimes when we do something, this is the best element to stimulate your creativity and motivation. Till now, we still have dream on Mai.com and guess what, I am still studying slowly, bit by bit on it in hope that one day it can be realized.
  • Sir Tam -- He's the lecturer who stresses on the important of management. I remember there was a time when our group presented on a business model related to IT business which he said it was too ideal. Though we were frustrated from the marks and comments, but it made me realized that the importance of identifying one true core strength you have in your business and make it as a specialization. No business is ideal but although we can only offer one best element in our business, we can still be the King!
  • Mr.Zul -- He's my marketing lecturer as well as my best lecturer buddy in campus. I enjoyed a lot when going through my marketing classes with him especially when we talk about customer service which I can still apply back into my job now! Customers are not only referring to those who pay $$$ for your service, instead customers are those that you deal with closely -- you are providing something that you needed. For example in my job, as a Project Exec under Ops Programs team, who will be my customers? The customers that called in and complaint of a shipment delivery? NO.... A customer who walk in with a parcel to ship? No... My customers would be all the guys on the floor (all the Operations guys -- the couriers, team leader, supervisors, service center manager, agents and sometimes other departments in the company as well) So, well you see, customer is defined in many ways by referring only to your job. As like for lecturers, their customers = students! Zul always stress on the importance of knowing you customers as well as the correct way you need to deal with each and everyone of them :)
Seriously, not much lecturers in the Uni that I had really enjoyed learning with and the above 3 are my top 3 ranking... hahaha... Guess now my most important lecturer is my own life -- facing everyday issues and problem solving situation in work as well as the daily humour and jokes you need to inject into the working environment is so damn important. I'm glad that I had been known as one of the happy star in the department as I constantly making them laugh without reasons! Hahah :P

I had my mind thinking on this the whole night yesterday -- if I were to stay put in DHL for a very long time, where would I set my foot to next? Would I just choose to stay at the place where I am now -- the Ops Program? Or will I choose to explore somewhere else like the facility -- service centre or gateways? Had a very interesting conversation with Raj in the LRT yesterday and I had a strong gut feeling telling me that I wanted to take up the challenge of managing a gateway if I had the chance to... Ouch! Too early to set a dream that is so high la!!
Heheheh

Love,
Shin :)

P/S: Sir, later inform us when and what time we can hang out k! :)

I couldnt write anymore coz my head is dizzy when thought of all these! Hahaha... but surprisingly, I enjoy my hectic schedule as I know I will learn even much more during this process!

Marcus came back to work today after his few days break from work, and I am glad that at least he's interested in rock climbing as I do. So, next time I can share infos about climbing with him and might as well ask some tips from him too :P
But too bad, he'll be leaving to South on Feb 1st with his wife and son -- he's been promoted to become the South Area Manager, meaning he'll handle and be in charge of everything in the South area. Congrats to him too!

I had maggee for dinner and I felt bloated already... Ate some fruits too, but still hungry... :P
Ok, I'm going to catch up with my reading and will sleep soon. Nite everyone!

Love,
Shin :)

Some memorable friendships...

Had an hour of gym... tired basically, but my mind just couldn't stop thinking... of 2 person lately.

I was in the LRT so I turn on my iPod, stuck the earphone into my ear and pushed the play button. The first song that played was "Same Side Of The Moon"... It automatically reminds me of Ricardo. I realized at that moment that we had less conversation lately and I hope he's doing fine. Sometimes, I would just like to drop him an email asking how's the baby doing and how's work and etc.. But I am just worried my emails would left something on, lingering... :)
Hope he's in a pink of health and having fun with his work back in Philippines :P I was wondering how the baby girl doing now, I think she's already a month old by now :)

Then... when I was browsing through some pictures -- some old pictures, I realized that I still had this friend in my heart that I still couldnt forget about. Although it's weird of what had happened between us (even I wasnt so clear about it), I still hoping to be friends with him again, like 3 years ago... All this time, I never had him removed from my memory and I wish him well now. Hope he's doing the right thing and living well :) Oh, I had forgotten his name, he is Mohd. Arif B. Shariff. See! I still remembered his full name :P I used to call him Raksasa Arif (and he would call me Penguin Shin) and he was the best buddy I had before in my life :) God bless him please...

My friendship with another friend was always on and off since past 2 years -- Mr. Panda Foo, you are so hard to layan la... We were so close to each other when we were in 1st year, best buddies also. Foo would always buy me gifts whenever he go on vacations with his gang and would called me when he knew that I was damn sick during our first CNY in Labuan, 2006 I think. Hahaha... But I was lucky to have Leo around that time to buy me medicine and took me to the clinic. Leo even bought me KFC when I was well-behave and drink my cough medicine (he didnt know that actually I had skipped taking my medication) Hahaha...

Foo sent me a funny yet lovely hand-made card for my 23rd birthday. Inside the card were my pictures and my cat's pictures and some birthday wishes. In the card too, he wish me well and have a very 'sayang' me punya bf... Guess, the wishes just couldnt last for any longer coz after 14 days (2 weeks) from my birthday, I no longer have a bf that love me.. :) But I found someone who love me more -- that is myself. I found that I am loving myself more.. :) And I also realized that my cat, Baby also love me more! Wakakaka...

Someone said earlier in my FB that I wouldnt like adventurous guys and I would prefer adventurous activities as these activities will give me more self-confidence. Bull shit la really. The self-confidence was always there it's just that it had been suppressed by something which I didnt realize. There's no harm with adventurous guys -- adventurous in the sense of going out and do fun and challenging outdoor activities with me -- hiking, camping, white-water rafting, kite flying, visiting the zoo, go orchestra, watching ghost movie, jamming in the studio, kutip durian, doing volunteering work, gardening and etc... (I consider all thees are fun things to do ok :P) -- but not adventurous in the sense that the guy was being adventurous in multiple girls... haha... I had a friend who is adventurous in this sense, and we (me and all my hometown buddies) are wondering when the bubble will burst! :P Secret, couldnt tell you who she/he is! That's why defining the word 'adventurous' is important here...

Suddenly, I am thinking of Ramesh. What the hell is this fellar doing la?? Macam sudah sesat. Lydia Koh also -- guess she was really busy la coz she was complaining about her task last week. Hope she's doing well. :P I'm going to call Chun Ei later to ask him about the Langkawi trip. Suddenly I pula have to become the organizer -- teruk betul lah Mun Wai and Ken Mee... :(

Ok, am getting tired already! Nite everyone~

Love,
Shin :)

Rock Climbing Rocks!

"Put your left foot on that crack just next to the tree roots!"
"Where?"
"There! Just a few inch up where you are stepping now!"
"Ohhh... itu!"

Hahaha, those were some conversations I remembered during my climbing at Batu Caves this morning. Wow, it was a great experience and I really do enjoy it a lot!

It's a nature rock climbing -- meaning, a real outdoor at some rock hills climbing! Not those build in indoor climbing walls. I couldn't remember how high was the first wall I climbed and oh man, it is not easy! I had cuts on my fingers when I was gripping and trying to find cracks to grip, I had bruises on my legs when I bumped onto the rocky areas, and I bumped my head slightly when I was too nervous with my first climb! Hehehhe :P

My lower arms were so tired and numb after my first tried-out and the best part was, I felt so satisfied with my climb. Why? Hehe, there were 2 first timers today -- me and a girl name Maggie, but only me managed to reach to the end of the route today! I am kind of proud of myself (secretly) today... hehehehe :P

I am glad that Kenneth drag me into this and definitely I am learning it and enjoying it. Afterall the shits happened in life (imagine I am 23 now :P), I had started to love myself and my life again! Was chatting to Kwan and told him about the climb and he was excited too. He wanted so bad to join us but unfortunately he's in Sandakan now.

Ok ok... I am exhausted d... and my hand is tired... Nite everyone!

Love,
Shin :)

'Talak' and 'Cina Buta'

Just got back from gym downstairs. Had a 40 minutes of cardio and another 20 minutes of striding. Total = 60 minutes, and I still felt energetic. Felt great that now I enjoy doing cardio more than ever, perhaps as preparations before I headed to Batu Caves or Taman Melawati for a rock climbing session. Hahaha... Am definitely doing what I had always wanted to do now. :)

Office was good today, nothing much happened and I was just concentrating on doing my audit report while chatting with Faeez and Dilla. Once a while, Uncle Stephen will drop by to say hello, and so do Vincent and Azrin. Report is a very dull work that why I walked around a lot today.

Oh ya, before I forgot, there something damn funny happened in office this evening. It all started by me. I asked Salina what is talak. So she was explaining to me what does it means as well as Cina Buta. So, apparently, for a muslim / malay, men of course, you can only divorce with the same woman for 3 times (means remarry the same woman for twice) and that's it. Dont understand? Ok ok... let me create a story..

Let say... Ahmad marry Aminah in 1997. Somewhere in 1998, they had a fight and Ahmad said to Aminah that he will divorce her -- this is the first 'talak'. Ok, so they divorced. After 6 months, Ahmad felt lonely (as if some guys does) and regret, he beg and reconciled with Aminah again, so they got married again (re-married 1st time) in 1999. In 2000, this stupid Ahmad slaped Aminah after an argument and he said he will divorce Aminah again! So they divorced for the 2nd time -- the second 'talak'. In 2001, he wanted Aminah back again so the reconciled again! (re-married the 2nd time). Haha, in 2004, Ahmad was bored with Aminah coz he been seduced by Suzana and he divorved Aminah for the 3rd time -- third 'talak'. So Aminah move on in her life and that stupid Ahmad was broke coz Suzana ran away will all his money. Ahmad felt regret and misses Aminah a lot, and he wanted to reconcile with Aminah again but cant -- because for then, he can only called 3 times of 'talak' and that it, OVER!

What Ahmad can do is, if Aminah do wish to reconcile back with this Ahmad (only if Aminah if blind, stupid or deaf -- if not what the hell she wanted this stupid guy for right? :P), Aminah has to marry with another man for temporary -- this is what they called it Cina Buta -- and then after thta period of time, Aminah have to divorce with that man, lets call him Abu, then she can reconcile and get married to Ahmad again.

Ok, so that was the whole explaination about the 'talak' and 'Cina Buta' terms. The jokes was, Raj stepped out from his cubicle and asked me in front of everyone -- what is the difference of 'nikah' and 'kahwin'? I thought it was the same as I turn to Hadi, he also answered that it's the same. So this was a dirty joke by them -- nikah is legal marriage while kahwin is illegal. Then Raj added, nikah is marriage spiritually while kahwin is marriage physically! Darn this Raj with his joke.

Then very spontaneously I jumped up and said "OH!!! No wonder they said kahwin lari la, and not nikah lari!"... as soon as I finished this, Raj drop to the floor and start laughing and everyone in the department was laughing like hell! Hahaha, I myself too couldnt stop myself :P

It was indeed one of a good department to work in and I do really hope I'll be a permenant staff soon. Not entirely of those fun I have with the people there, but it's because I love doing what I am doing now -- managing projects and making people laugh! Hahaha..

Ok, I smell bad not because of the sweat after gym. I better go take a shower now. C ya all around! Happy New Year!

Love,
Shin :)

Happy 2009 New Year!

OMG.. From this moment onwards I will not go out to any countdown event in KL anymore! It was a interesting experience, but I dont think I can take it. Hahaha... of all the crowds and youngsters especially (as if I am not a youngster :P), the craziness they shown and all the rubbishes created was definitely a NO NO to me from no on. In my mind, I cant stop thinking of how the DBKL will clean up the place tomorrow, how would the news be tomorrow regarding all this mess, how dirty and irresponsible Malaysians are, how wasteful was it for them to buy the can spray to just spray at whoever that pass by, how tiring and wasting time it was, and blah blah blah... OMG, I sound like an old lady now :P I had a good time anyway, it's just a way to open my eyes for something I never encounter before :)

Anyway, watched d movie "Australia" and it wasnt bad at all. Great scene on the cow/bull herding! Definately fall in love again with Hugh Jackman, with his beard on. Indeed a sexy man, no wonder he's been voted as one of the sexiest man alive on earth! Hahaha... dont forget my Edward Cullen too!

Speaking of Edward Cullen, I am on the midst of finishing the Twilight novel. My findings were that the novel is definitely better than the movie and this caused some disappointment within me towards the movie now. There is a chapter about Charlise history which I think is very important to be shown in the movie as it's the part where audience would know about why and how the tradition of being a 'vegetarian' vampire begins and how great the effort of Charlise made to stay humanly (although he's already a vampire). It would be great if this was in the movie, but too bad is wasnt! Haih...

I love the novel so much and am looking forward to purchase the next sequel 'New Moon' next week in MPH. I found an interesting book in Times Bookstore in Pavillion too today. If I am not mistaken the title is "The Woman With The Wolf" or is it "The Wild Woman And The Wolf"?? It's a book which I am looking forward to read soon :)

Ok, I'm exhausted and need to rest now. HAPPY NEW YEAR ya all! May you all have a wonderful new year and may you all always be in a pink of health too!

Love,
Shin :)
