Kaori is among one of my single friend who recently got hooked up. And I guess I was in denial. Everyone has a boyfriend. Apart from Myn and Sam, who make time for me, Kaori is available 24 hours. And when I say 24 hours, I mean 24 hours. She and I share things that's not meant to be heard by others. We share same emotions about general things. So naturally, I was disappointed that she's now attached. Yet again, another friend of mine is attached. So what's new???

For the past week, I have been giving a cold shoulder to Kaori without realising it. I don't even know why. It's not that I'm upset that she's attached. In fact, I am happy for her. But I couldn't help thinking that I have lost a friend. I kept thinking that she might not have time for me now that she has Allan. I hate the fact that most of my friends have no time for me. I was just plain sad you know.

But over the weekend, I thought thing thru and I realized how selfish I am. I can't expect them to stay with me always. I can't have them by the phone, picking up the moment I call. I cannot believe how selfish I am.

So today, I text Kaori to 'book' her this weekend for our facial thing. And thank god, she agreed. This experience taught me not to be selfish and Insya'allah, I will be a better person. A msg to all my friends.

As mush as it hurts me to admit this, I am so very sorry for giving you
guys the cold shoulder whenever you guys cannot make it to any of my plan
outings. I need to understand that, for once, you guys have a whole other world
apart from ours. I promise. I won't be a bitch if you guys can't make time for
me. Love you all!!!

Those who love HSM & HSM 2, you guys should definitely catch HSM 3! It's so good that I could sit in the teather the whole day, watching it over and over and over again. Every 15 minutes, there's a song that will get you so energetic that you wanna stand up and dance to the beat. A song that gives you so much emotion that you wanna just cry happy tears. And songs that just gives you goose bumps the whole way. If you guys watched Grease, this is even better. With Graduation and all. WOW!!!Mira and me had a blast. Can I watch it again?

I'm a bit lazy to update actually. I need a break!

I went home on time from work 4 days straight. Surprised eh? Hehe...I'm not gonna complain. So today, took a last minute trip to Chinese Clinic with Sam. That girl said her feet hurts when she dances so I accompanied her. Clinic was recommended by Aric. Hehe. So we registered and we went for dinner.

After that, was straight to the clinic. I was scared at the same time excited. Why? Cos she's had to go thru acupuncture. Yeah, needles into the nerves. I was really scared. So I asked Sam to ask the doc if I can enter. I wouldn't want to miss this. So I sat beside her while the doc inserted needles into her 'points'. First needle in, a little 'ah' came out from her mouth. The 4th needle in was when she screamed. I was shocked that I just burst out laughing. And she kept telling me to shut up cos she din wanna see or hear any reaction from me. Haha. But it was really scary. I had my ears closed most of the time. Haha.

So as Sam was lying still on the bed, we talked la, listened to music. Then suddenly she said that she cannot move her legs. Literally can't move her legs. I was scared. After like half an hour, the doc came back to pull the needles out. one like 2 drops of blood. Then it was over. Haha. Thank god she was able to put on her shoes back.

It was such a relief after everything is done. Hope we don't have to go back there again. Whatever it is, I salute Sam for going thru this pain. Pictures.

Just came back home from Simpang with Kaori.

Work is not that hectic now that SNG is officially handed over to Kaori. So I actually went home on time today. It feels weird to go home when the sun is still out. A quick nap did the trick for my headache and by 8pm, I was wide awake, with nothing to do. Yeap. Nothing at all to do. Just stare at the lappy for 2 to 3 hours. Saw Kaori online and I so wanna go Simpang to have Teh O Ice Limau. So I asked Kaori out for supper. Hehe!

We met around 12 and sat down and talk. It's fun doing this once in a while during a weekday. We talked about past, present. What we like, who we like, what's fun. But what's important is that I realized what a great friend I have. I wish I have more friends like her. I don't say this because I think she's nice. I say this because she don't judge me. And I think it's a good thing that she doesn't. We definitely need more people like her in the world.

Thanks Kaori, for listening to my never ending crap. We should do this often. And this should be on-going even if you or I have a boyfriend or even when we are married. Love love.

After so long of not getting out of office sharp at 1800, today is the day that I managed to do that. So as a celebration, I made Sam play pool with me. Thank God, she had no plans. So we headed straight to Pasir Ris and had an early dinner there. BTW, I'm so hungry now. After having Mac, we went to E-Hub and straight to pool place. But full house. Sedih ape?! So we went back to MAc and msg whoever we know that might know any pool place located in the east. All came up with Katong and PArkway. Haiz. Macam jauh nah la...So I gave Sam a sad face and told her we'll go Katong since it is full house. But Sam, being adorable that she always have been, told me, "Ita, we go check one more time. f full, we go Katong". So with my heels, we broke into a small run. By the tikme we reach there, there were 2 empty tables. Woohoo!!!I get tp play pool man!!! So we played while exchanging life stories and all. What I'm gonna say is gonna hurt my pride, but I lost. 8 frames to 7. Crap kan?? So much for Sam not knowing how to play. It's really crap. Took a glance at Sam and realized that she is actually tired. Maybe cos entertaining me too much. Hehe! So we ended the game afer 2 1/2 hours. Smoke for a while and straight home. Now, I am lookig for the next victim. I need to play more pool!!!!

Ever since I took Philippines over, I have been staying at work till 10 plus. Twice this week, Suken and I went home at around 11 plus. Yeah, we're that busy. I just hope that we get a replacement quick. Allah, help me! I can't have all 4 demanding countries under me. I even had to come to work on Sat. Because I just didn't have the time to send out the weekly reports.

I don't have much to update really, except that i think, my ass is getting flatter, due to sitting down for more that 12 hours each day at work! Haha!!

Guess where am I now?? For those who knows me well, yeah, I'm at work. Doing what? Work la..Hehe...After more that 12 hours of clearing emails, allocating products, moving shipments from one end of the world to another, I have the chance to take a break a while. Talk about overloaded!!

PHI is officially mine. Well, until further notice, at least. Heard that Jessie might be taking it from me, so yeah. How do I have the time to update the blog now? Well, I'm importing the PST files to my computer. For those who do not know what PST file is, don't think it's as fun as PSP eh..Cos it's not. It's just a big folder of pending shipments for PHI. I just cannot afford to import it during office hour. It would delay ALOT of my work, something that I do NOT want to do. Even without delaying my work, I am already struggling way behind time. So many shipments, so little time! But it's ok, like I said, I am up for anything! Woohoo!!

Well, today is Wendy's last day with SBUX. So we had lunch at Shine Cafe. It's a very nice cafe. Nice to bring a special someone there on a date. So practically everyone was there except for Peiwen and Indah, who, unfortunately had to be at Commonwealth. But Indah will be back 2moro. Woohoo!! Long time never see that babe!! Sorry, sidetracked a lil. Where was I? Oh yeah, I had Seafood Spaghetti Marina. Ok la. Not that nice. But after adding Soup of the Day, Tomato Soup, it was heaven. Hehe. And of cos, lotsa cheese powder. Weehee!!! By the time we finish eating, it was already 1345. But before that we took some pictures with Wendy.
Oh yeah, and welcoming Geraldine into SBUX. You better be prepared for all the bitching sessions that's gonna happen here in our group! Haha!

I don't have a picture of her alone, so here's the speech and pictures.

Though you and I were not that close, every conversation that we had were
filled with laughter. I wish you all the best for whatever you will be doing
in
the future. Thank you for being a great mentor.

Went out to Pak Beh's house after Mak Chu and family came to my house. Not much pictures because I was too focus on Anaqi!

Firstly, takziah to Fahmy's family. Losing Jidi yesterday must have been very hard for Fahmy's family. This is no easy for us as well, especially Malin. You see, we never had any Grandfather love. Both maternal and paternal passed away before we were born. So Jidi was the closest that we ever had. Well, we're not that close. Hardly spoken even, But the presence of a grandfather was always there. I think think, in Fahmy's case, it will always be there.

Work was hell this week. Everyday, I clocked out at 1930. Except yesterday, I clocked out at 2215. Sedihkan my life? Starting from next week, PHI will be under me. One more misery added to my life. Of all countries that Peter decided to take away from me, it's SNG. But I still gotta monitor cos it's just transiting. The only country that never drive me insane. But it's OK. Since I'm always up for challenges, I'm ready to take up anything in life. Woohoo!!

Let's see, what else about work life is there? Hmm. Despite the fact that SBUX US have been closing down, we in DHL remain unaffected. That's a relief. What's not a relief is the recession going on in SIN. That shook a few of us. As for me, right now what matter is that I bring home a decent amount for my family. I'm not saying that I'm satisfied with what I'm doing now. Insya'allah, will continue my studies soon. Hopefully, with the cert and experience, I will be able to climb the ladder bit by bit.

As you know, Wendy will be leaving us next week. This scare me. Because I know Wendy to be a great mentor. However, I was not able to ask her anything on PHI. I was super busy with my other countries. I hope I will learn from the previous shipments in the folders that she has passed to me. *crossing fingers*

Joyce will be leaving us end of this month. But Geraldine will be coming in next week, so hopefully, I will be able to have some time to breathe. But in the meantime, I will have MLY added to my me when Joyce leaves. So that's like what, 5 countries?

• Singapore
• Indonesia
• Korea
• Philippines
• Malaysia

Sounds little? You should really see my inbox. One country has an estimated of 40 to 50 shipments pending everyday. I have 5 countries. You do the math.

I need a break from the city. Can I go somewhere where there's beach and cigarettes and not much computers? A place where I can just chill , go out anytime I want, sleep when it's supposed to be wake up time. Hmm...I want that so bad. Cos I think I 'm gonna lose my head soon.

Today, I intended to wake up early and head to work. But I just can't wake up. Tiredness is catching up and that is not good. So woke up at around 11 plus by Mak Nah's call. Reminding me that I need to pay Zakat Harta and credit card bill. Yes I will Mak Nah. Today. You see, Mak Nah is my aunt, also my keeper. What's keeper? Someone who helps me save money. Haha. Never gonna find that in the dictionary, so don't bother finding. Yeah, so she will be the one keeping tab on how much I have saved that month and make sure I don't swipe too many times a month. Hehe! We were talking about my savings, life, education insurance and all some other personal stuff. Too many to list down.

OK la, I'll end here. Need to eat and get ready for Pak Beh's open house. Woohoo!!!

I just found out a few days ago that not only Wendy is leaving, but Joyce too! Can you imagine how upset I am right now? Very! With Wendy leaving, I have to take Philippines. Now that Joyce is leaving too, I will have Malaysia again back on my list. Ever since Friday, I have been staying back at work to clear lotsa shipments. But somehow or rather, the work seems to be piling up more that it is getting lesser. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Haiz. I dunno.

Well, at least I know SBUX is hiring. This time it's not 1, not 2 but 3 headcounts. Alhamdulillah, we already hired one, coming in next week hopefully. Geraldine something her name. Not an ordinary girl...Haha! Think she is either a butch or a lesbian. Nothing against theit kind. I actually have lotsa friends like that. Just surprise to see SBUX hire someone like that. So that's one, 2 more to go.

Yesterday, Willie and Stephen was here. And so, I had my fair time with Willie, discussing about us SBUX. I dunno if you guys know about this but recently, SBUX US closed about 600 stores. SBUX AP had to cut down on their manpower. A few was asked to leave. Alhamdulillah, we in DHL are not affected. In fact there's good news for us. Remember the Kelong trip that SBUX AP sponsored? Yeah well, hopefully, we'll be going somewhere again. Maybe in December. I hope it's somewhere worthwhile. :) Oh by thw way, congrats to Suken, who was promoted to Supervisor, effective 1st Oct.

Today, we celebrated Aric's 30th birthday. Da tua Ahmad!! Haha!! Suken bought a cake at Prima Deli and we surprise Aric after lunch. I dunno how many times we have done this buy-cake-and-surprise after lunch. But I swear it works every time. Haha! Pictures below. Before that, speech for Mr Aric Ng.

2nd day of Raya was spent at home, not going out cos we were all plain tired. So I rested the whole day, dreading to go to work 2moro. For the first time it wasn't because of work. But because of the fact that I was wearing Baju Kurujng and heels. My god. I've never wore Baju Kurung to work before. Haha! But since Mom wants to go to rumah Mak Chu and Pak Ngah, bopian, I gotta wear. Hehe. So during lunch time, I went to Simei and went to get Anaqi a pair of Adidas shoes. He looked so cute wearing it later that evening.

Then, we headed off to Pak Ngah's. Abg Faiz and Halimi wasa there too. And Munti is so cute. But I was feeling abit sick, so everyone sort of forgotten that the camera is in the bag! Haha! By the time I got back, I was so hungry. Thank God babe, Myn was online! So what else! 1 am, she fetched me and we headed for supper at Simpang! I am so blessed to have an owl as a friend! *Muacks to Myn* Reached home around 3 and after talking non stop with Malin and Ibu for an hour, I went to bed. Hehe! It felt so good to be out with a good friend once in a while. Especially with Myn! She's a blast. Talking, bitching and laughing non stop.

So yesterday, Abg Faiz, Kak Jaja and Halimi came over around noon and Mom prepared for them Nasi Lemak. Oh by the way, Abg Faiz brought over someone special, Sheila, his fiance. She's so nice! I like! After they left, it was Abg Hafiz's turn, followed by Pak Beh and Family and then Pak Dok. Not lotsa picture la. So here goes!!

First day of Hari Raya was not as happening as previous ones. You see, my grandma passed away early this year. And we usually we gather at her home. However, this year, it was held at Mak Long's house. Since her husband passed 2 weeks after Nenek, she's stil in mourning. So this year, my family only went to her house today. The rest will be 2moro or weekend. Not too sure if I will be well enough to go here and there 2moro.

We reached there around 1 plus. Initial plan was to reached there around 11. But we were all so tired of cleaning house and cooking. And I had trouble sleeping as I was coughing into the night. So, accompanied with a headache and cough, we headed to Mak Longs after asking forgiveness from each other. Take cab of course, even though it is very near. Hehe! I can't walk la, scare will pengsan! Hehe.

So we reached there. More forgiveness and all. Then came the food and drinks. After that, what else, bum around and watch tv. Met Fahmy for a while cos his mom gave us some Muruku. Then my favourite little mischievous cousin came. She's just plain cute. With her mak nenek attitude and all. Such a joy! Then I remembered that we had the camera. Hehe! And so what else? Take pictures la! Hehe. Don't mind my sick pictures.

So by 3 plus, it's home sweet home! Straight away helped Mom to cook Tomato Rice and all for my guests. I was very excited as this year is my first open house. Intended to do it on a weekend, but since today is Kaori's birthday and her parents are in town, I decided to do it today. Alhamdullilah, my Mom was very supportive. Mak Nah, Mak Cha and Pak Hussein was here too. They were so cool, becoming the host and hostesses. So after dinner, we threw a small birthday Kaori. She seemed surprise. Hehe! Then it was eating again. I kept forcing all of them to eat and eat and eat! Haha!!

Then Kaori's parents took out a bag of gift for us, including my Mom. They bought Mom a Japanese cookbook. And the rest of us Burberry handkerchief! And they bought me a Micheal Jackson, Japan Edition CD. I wanted it because it has the song that I want most. Downloading is just a hassle for me. I intended to pay them back, but the parents said it's a gift! So i got 2 gifts from Japan! Hehe!

The day ended quite early for me. By 9 plus, it's just me, Mom, Mira and Malin. So I got online to chat, as usual. By then, headache was back and I was coughing like mad. So I took some panadol and couldn't sleep until 2 in the morn. Malin went out with Fahmy to visit JD at hospital and I think they went for supper. So she wasn't home when I fell asleep.

Oklah. Pictures. More on Multiply.
