It has been 17 days..

12 February 2012...That was the day I received a phone call from your friend  Paul. I was in line with Dudu to pay for our groceries in Carrefour. Paul was very nervous for what he was about to tell me..You got into an accident & didn't survive..I broke down there and then..wailing..asking why why why...

Boy.., my dear brother..No words can describe how your lost is felt. I still don't believe you are no longer around sometimes. It's just too surreal. But you know what, though you are not here physically, I do feel your presence spiritually. Wherever you are, know know know that Mummy, Daddy & myself loves you soooooo much...Be at peace boy..pray for mummy and daddy to have the strength to endure this painful period.

I love you...

Your sister,
Awi.

Just another manic Monday~

Actually nahh, it ain't that manic for me, haha. So yesterday, Duds and I went down to KL to jalan-jalan and cari makan. It was fun I must say! Well if you're staying in KL itself maybe it won't be as fun but seeing that Duds and myself really seldom head downtown(or uptown? I don't know..err) so it was a nice break from the Sunway-Subang scene ;D.

First we headed to Taman Maluri for the oh-so-sedap Tangkak Beef Noodle. Oh yesss, the thick hot beefy broth with the chili yang menggigit (that's a Cocos way of saying awesome chilli, hahaha) PLUS it was pouring outside made the effort to drive out of Petaling Jaya so to say, very very worth it. 

Mmmm beefy goodnesss....

After we stuffed our face silly with all that beef noodle, we dropped by at this kind of old school bakery (I love love love old bakeries) to buy   what I call the "dulu-dulu" sort of butter cream cake. These sort of cakes really remind me of my childhood, as much as how minimal I was allowed to eat them when growing up (due to the fact I was a fatty2 bom2) I absolutely have a penchant for em'.

Ain't it pretty?! I think it is :P

Afterwards, we headed to Sungei Wang which was surprisingly not as packed as usual, you know, kind of like how the train station is during peak hours? Yergh, my idea of total nightmare..ok, back to the story. Well when we got there, we saw this shop selling Iphone and BB covers, and I must say, they were very interesting..LOL..

Are you a buttman or boobman? Have your pick :D

And then after we saw this shop named "The Naughty Shop" heheh...what does that tell ya'...so yeah it was a shop selling sex toys, lubes, games, 'gadgets' etc2. It was so err..awkward. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that the products they were selling were awkward, it actually was the sales assistant. He (yes twas a guy) was just sort of following Duds and I around the shop and nonchalantly/bluntly explained about each and every one product on the shelf that we passed by. Example: There was this product called Booty Beads, he just spat out with his Chinese accent, "Oh the booty beads, this one ah, is for the anal sex!" As tan as I am, I think I blushed.....heh..-__-"..there are more examples, but I'm not gonna spoil the fun for you guys the next time you visit "The Naughty Shop" haha!

Later, we went round and round the mall, looked at more stuff, bought some more food, then we headed back. On the way, we passed by Petaling street and we saw this billboard. 

Witty ;D

I thought it was pretty cool. Matter of fact, I think the Nando's marketing team have done a good job in promotions! They've set up cool billboards at highways, on buildings, etc. There's another one near Lot 10 that says "Di sini banyak Ayam.(Like super huge letters right, and at the bottom followed..) Ayam Peri-Peri. (So as not to confuse ayam=as in hookers, with ayam=their peri-peri chicken) Witty, right! Or maybe it's just me. O well~~ XD

So that was how my Sunday was spent....I am a happy person...hehehehe, ok till the next one, here's Polly signing off! BYE!!

How often does this happen to you?

It's an achievement!!

What achievement you may ask? Blogging two days in a row that is! Haha, I just went through my older posts as far back as 2007 and can't believe how active I was. It is a shocker! Hahahaa, so anyway, I woke up this morning wondering why Dudu's alarm hasn't woke us up yet followed by jolting and panicking after looking at the wall clock showing 7.00am. I shook Dudu and said it's seven! While in my heart I was thinking, oh man, what am I gonna prepare for breakfast, sempat or not? and then he replied sleepily, "It's Saturday,la.."

This was me, "It is? Oh okay, er...go back to sleep" My God, how unemployment can make you lose track of time! It's ridiculous. So yeah, after that I was determined to finish my assignment which is actually due today but I ended up going to Dudu's laptop instead to book the boarding for Polly come January at http://www.everyday.com.my/coupons/kl/Nilufar_Pet_Aquatic_deal.htm followed by coming here, to my blog...

Well, a beautiful start to Saturday I guess. You guys have a great one, l8ers!

Hi! Oh btw I'm Unemployed.

Since I am so free nowadays, I have taken the liberty to spend some of my vastly available time to jot down a note or two here. Or maybe a gazzilion, if that amount even exists. It's been so long since I've blogged that my typing skill is getting suckier by the minute.

So, as the title suggests, yea I'm currently unemployed. In view of the need to search my true purpose in life, I am taking a break. It makes me feel less guilty bumming around I guess. I am enjoying it though. Is it temporary? This bliss of bumming around? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know..what I know is that I'm definitely relishing the moment. The time when I would probably get worried is when the bills need to get paid. Yikes!

Ok, pushing away the worrying bit, here are some of my plans to exit the bumming phase. 1. Try to score a lecturing job. (Main purpose why I did my Masters in the 1st place) 2. Do the work & travel thing. Honestly, I'm really scared to choose that option. The thought of being so far away from my family, Eric, Polly and Bibbette..Oh! How terrifying! So dramatic, I know..but it's so true okay. I admit it and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm a baby. Blame it on being the youngest and the only girl in my family. Hah!

Aaah~~ How the feeling of uncertainty screws you up.....So yeah, that's the latest on me..not that anyone cares, but yeah. Maybe I take back that "writing a gazillion words" so not happening. Okbye!

Facing my fear....eventually~

Having officially been in the workforce for approximately half a year or more than that, I am slowly understanding why people prefer their college days in comparison to their current working lives.If you screw up in college, well you only screw yourself whereas in the workforce, a whole bunch of other people are screwed if you mess up. Quite pressuring, ain't it? I'm really glad with how things have come undone for me. People surrounding me are always willing to teach and share on how work tasks can be made simpler & more systematic. Thank God for their patience! So, since I'm on a roll here, I'd also like to share one of the recent change to my life. Not only am I in the industry, I'm back to being a student too. This was quite a hard decision to make due to the current lack of staff in my division as well as the need to start making preparations for my wedding which is tentatively scheduled to happen next year. The idea of going back to school did scare me initially. However after attending the classes for the past 2 weeks now, its not as bad as I imagined! I could get use to it. Besides, I find the classes really interesting and knowledgeable. It's definitely different compared to degree. So. I'm gonna be fine right? Lol~~ Aihhh, I CAN DO THIS! L8ers~

Hello

Yeah, you don't even have to remind me. I KNOW it's been too long..hahaa..Too many things have happened since I last wrote in this blog. Naturally, I would only bother to type stuff out here when something really worth talking about happens. So, what happened today? Don't get too excited now, it's not the kind of news that anyone would find oh-so-amusing. Matter of fact, it's one of the most common news. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it 'news'...Okay, whatever la I'm starting to confuse myself...THE POINT IS, the reason why I'm even bothered to come jot down stuff here is because I experienced something spiritual today. No, I didn't see a ghost. Wtf..choi! palis jauh2..Here's an example, you know how when you almost give in and lose hope of getting or achieving something, then BAM! An opportunity presents itself to you and your problem is solved? Yeah, that happened to me today. Well I'm not saying that this is the only time it has happened, and YES it has happened so many times before. Bottom line is, I'm just trying to say...thank you. To who? The Lord...My Shepard...

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.
