Dinner

Ni lah my dinner, Bihun Goreng je. Tapi gambarnya dramatic sungguh!

Meeting postpone la pulak, and Jill and I was already in Subang. So we worked, and had dinner before we left kat Mamak just outside Carrefour Subang.

Pics courtesy of Jill's digicam.

My work day started early yesterday, with a 9a.m. meeting. Supposed to be at 10 but client called to be there at 9, change of plans. Jill and I were punctual on the dot, but the Manager we were meeting was late...overslept (boleh???).

So we waited. Lapar. and rezeki pun datang....the secretary brought in a plate of karipap sardine, and apam; and coffee. So the waiting wasnt so painful.

Free breakfast:-)

Meeting that i estimated to last one hour, habis at almost noon. Letih.

Tapi, best part of course was i submitted my bill. Our first for the year. Harap-harap wont take them forever to pay. Kekeringan dah ni!!!!

My favourite doc to prepare..haha

After meeting, Jill and I pun masuk office...erhmmm, i mean Starbucks @ Ikano.:-). Proposal presentation on Friday petang brought forward to hari ni (thursday). Nak meeting pagi pulak tu....nasib negotiate late afternoon.

mula mula duduk elok je.....

dah bongkok...tak bagus untuk posture kerusi ni

Jill yang busy terpelanting kasut semua....

Got to get back to work. Nak jumpa Jill kat Subang Parade later before our presentation kat USJ. Wish me luck!

David Archuleta

I have found a reason to watch this season's American Idol.

David Archuleta.....just DELICIOUS!!!

Delicious voice!

and a face cute enough to eat!

I bet this 16 year old will be the next American Idol.

The past 1 week, i have been.....

WORKING

Sepatutnya dah habis projek 'interview' tu. i was expecting a breather sambil buat marketing work with Jill and settle personal stuff. On the first day i thought i boleh relax sikit, i got a phone call. Client yang sama nak kasi projek baru. Kelam kabut buat meetings and discussions, mula-mula rasa tak nak buat, but rezeki jangan ditolak. Survival babe, alhamdullilah.

Belum pun habis settle hal2 projek baru ada invitation untuk proposal lain pulak. Projek ni agak besar, and i cant do it with Jill. Kelam kabut cari freelance people to form a team. Now tengah kelam kabut nak finish the proposal by friday.

Sebenarnya, the past 1 year has taught me jangan harap. All these proposal submissions build up hope, just to let you down later. Then frust giler sebab all the effort that went into it. Tapi i know, if i dont send in, how do we even stand a chance. That's the way the consulting business is. Like i said, i've learned not to hope. Tipulah kalau sikit pun tak angan2. Doa jugak tapi tak harap sangatlah.


MAKAN

Been hanging out at The Curve mostly sebab Jill malas nak drive up all the way to my place. And yes....kerja banyak, makan pun banyak.....














and, last but not least...

TIPAH CASE

Dalam busy2, usaha mendapatkan balik duit mesti diteruskan. Sabtu lepas sempat pergi Putrajaya. 2 jam lebih kasi statement. They cant promise much, but it feels better to be doing something about it.





Will try to update more often this week.
How are you guys doing?

Happy Friday

Sorry kalau ada yang jenguk blog ni tapi i tak update. Dah ada in my head apa nak update, gambar pun dah standby tapi bila sampai rumah letih ya amat.

Will try to update soon. Many developments on work, some new opportunities has presented itself, been keeping me busy pegi meeting here n there.

Happy Friday all.

Rested

Selepas tido sepuluh jam semalam, i feel so much better.

Lily & Nikli (yg concern sgt pasal i makan ke tak tu..) yes, hari ni i makan like a normal person. ada bukti tau..check these pics


Breakfast!

...muka tak mandi, makan roti kopitiam style

Lunch & dinner (masak sendiri tau)

Petang, I pergi Subang Parade jumpa Kak Sue dah sembang2.

Then, Nora datang rumah dan sembang2.


Tengok the live announcement of the new AF Host.


Buat kerja light light je earlier in the morning.


Oh yes, and that telephone conversation with my favourite guy who made my day;-)


Nothing much to complain about today.


I'm gonna have some ice cream now!

Dead Tired

I'm dead tired people.

Worked hard whole day yesterday up to 4a.m. Caught a few hours of sleep and continued working.

Relieved that 95% of the work is done.

Went to client's office looking like hell, or was it a zombie (whichever's worse).

Just realised i only had a mug of milo at 7a.m. Its 7.53p.m. now.

Gonna hit the shower, have some toast (if i dont fall asleep in the shower) and sleep.

More stories tomorrow.

Relieved that most of the work is done. Alhamdullilah

Usaha Tangga Kejayaan???

Ingat lagikan my post about kes "tipah tertipu"....semalam i pergi gathering bersama "tipah-tipah" yg lain. (tipah di sini refers to both masculine & feminine gender ye..haha.) Ini kali kedua saya jumpa victims yang senasib dengan saya. At least bergerak secara group, hopefully dapat buat tindakan yang lebih effective. I'm not that optimistic, like i said before its like fighting a losing battle. Sekurang-kurangnya usaha something rather than duduk diam and menyesal. More than 20 people datang semalam,victim yang dah masuk paper pun ada. The good thing was ada orang dari ministry pun datang semalam, tapi sebab ramai sangat kita akan dipanggil sorang sorang untuk ke Putrajaya buat statement. Better than doing nothing i suppose. Even if i tak dapat duit balik, penipu keparat tu boleh tutup kedai and tak terus menipu orang lain.

On the way back, lalu KESAS, terasa nak drop by tapau some of the famous Hj Samuri Sate. I lagi kerap pergi yang outlet dia kat Uptown tu, kat Awan Besar ni pernah sekali je kut years ago...cuma dah naik 60sen/cucuk sekarang. Cepat gila service dia semalam, macam beli McD je. But i suppose sebab i beli sikit je for myself.


5 daging, 5 ayam, nasi impit. Itu pun tak habis, hari ni boleh makan lagi 4 cucuk for breakfast:-)

I cried

I cried while driving myself home this evening.

A friend hurt my feelings.

Then i called my mom. She made me smile again. I love u mom!

I got home and cried all over again.

Then i sms-ed my moshi-gal. She made me smile again. I love u moshi!

I'm all cried out. I'm gonna be ok.

In fact i'm doing great and not gonna let any insensitive and inconsiderate action of anyone get me down.

Kita Hampir Ke Situ

I like this song when i heard in on the radio.... i initially didnt pay attention to the lyrics, i thot its another catchy love song. When i looked it up, i buzz Jill on YM...this could be a theme song of our struggle together...hehe.

So this is for me n Jill, my business partner (& partner in crime)..;-)

Aku sedar bukan mudah
Untuk mengejar mimpi indah
Pernah suatu ketika dulu
Ku punya harapan besar
Kini aku tak pasti
Dapatkah ku miliki

Sudah jauh kita tempuh
Kekalkanlah impian lalu
Mungkin ada hikmah
Yang akan menunggu
Di penghujung jalan
Biar nanti kecewa
Setidak-tidaknya cuba

*Jika halangan menduga perjalanan kita
Janganlah kau putus asa
Kerana ku ada di sisi setia menemani
Andai semangatmu gugur
Genggamlah tanganku
Kita hampir ke situ

Adakala ku terasa
Ketabahan tak setegar
Tetapi apakan daya
Berhenti separuh jalan
Percayalah padaku
Aku yakin kita mampu

Biar orang katakan
Rapuhnya harapan
Bukan mereka tentukan lagi
Kau ada aku dan aku punya kamu
Apa jua akhirnya tetap bersama

thanks to u lovely people who always leave kind words in the comment box of my 'not-so-happy' posts...and there's been quite a number of those lately. appreaciate it a lot people;-) mwaahhsss....

CNY long break kerja kerja kerja....but i'm relieved that i've completed almost 75% of the work. Phewww.....tired, sleep deprived and all. Last night i only managed to get 3 hours of sleep. And today skipped lunch lagi sebab client want something before end of day. kurus kering la by end of the project like this. Malam ni pun makan maggi je sebab too tired to stop and tapau, and of coz too tired nak masak.

Gonna go catch some zzzzzs.

Emo

I'm all emo out of a sudden, nothing happened....maybe hormones, maybe circumstances, i dunno. I'm scared of what the future holds, really scared.

Happy Chinese New Year from Anne's Prelude

Lepas Geram

Hari ni skip lunch lagi, tapi the upside is by 3.30pm dah settle semua session kat Port Klang. Phew.....so terus drive balik. Ingat nak masak takes time lagi, so on the way back cari la apa-apa makanan nak tapau. Maybe sebab dah lapar sangat, ini lah jadinya....

Makan sorang...goreng pisang seringgit, keropok lekor seringgit, nasi lemak 1.30. In money terms bunyi sikit kan, tapi singgit singgit tu satu bag plastic makan sorang, jangan tertipu gambar tu nampak sikit setelah dah makan separuh jalan heheh. Alhamdullilah kenyang, tapi rasa lousy and lazy la lepas makan. Esok kena masak yg healthy healthy sikit;-)

Apam Balik anyone??

That was me at 7.00 a.m. ......early in the morning dah layu. imagine how i look like at 5. I'm very tired. All these interviews are draining me out. Lagi la if i have to sit down and talk to uninspired, demotivated people, lagi letih. Anyway, can't complain....tiring but i enjoy it.


Today i had 6 back to back sessions averaging an hour each at my client's office in Port Klang. Even missed lunch. Before i left this sweet lady brought me this and insisted i have some before leaving the office. I had 2 pieces (tak malu betul) ;-) Lama tak makan apam balik, best gila!

Well said....

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?

The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."
