Lurus Bendul

The last time i had a hair cut, the stylist dok pujuk-pujuk i buat 'relaxing' treatment. Its one type of hair straightening jugak, katanya less severe than rebonding.

Anyway, i tak buat la masa tu...tapi si Agus, stylist tu beriya blow straight my hair to get the same effect like what it would be kalau buat relaxing. The above pics taken just after keluar salon...itupasal very the straight...weird tak?

Sekarang ni rambut dah panjang semula...i need a hair cut again.

Should i do it? Rasa macam terlalu lurus bendul pulak rambut tu...sekarang kalau nak straight, boleh la blow n letak product. Tahan la beberapa jam. Nak wavy sikit pun boleh. Kalau dah buat relaxing ni...lurus bendul la rambut all the time...easy to maintain i suppose...tapi nampak macam rambut sikit pun ye....Risiko rambut rosak pun ada kot...

Dilemma ni.....

NO.

I have to admit i have trouble saying no to people sometimes.

Especially when it comes to work, you know you face all sorts of people - the not so clever, the unreasonable, the 'bodoh-sombong'...etc etc etc

For the last few months i have been in this never ending project. My patience has been spread super-thin. I had to tolerate many people i could hardly resist strangling. But for the sake of work, responsibility, teamwork - i have been (too) accommodating every request, even those stupid unreasonable ones. Even those that things that are not supposed to be my job in the first place. Even those i dont get paid for. I complain of course, i still end up doing them. At times i feel so "used".

Yesterday, i reached my limit. I said No. Plain and simple No. Cannot.

Do i feel bad? Maybe for a split second. Do i feel guilty? Not really.

Does that make me a bad person?

Entry Buang Sawang

Haaaaaa....dah bersawang blog ni.

Apa nak cerita eh....nanti lah ok. Ini entry buang sawang je hehehe.

Memories From Sandakan

Dalam siri kerja I di East Malaysia, tahun lepas 2 program, ini kali ketiga dan terakhir. This one is my least favourite. Ada la beberapa perkara yang berlaku yang buat I kurang senang - bukan dengan participants ya (kot2 ada yg terbaca blog ni), dia orang ok je.

muka stress hehe





The Class


Bandar Sandakan ni sunyi je. Feel town ni macam 70an, 80an lagi. Tengok keadaan jalan on a working day. Takde traffic pun. Sandakan memang tepi laut. Industri perikanan yang nampak kat sini, selain eco-tourism. Bandar ni transit untuk tourist ke pulau-pulau untuk lihat penyu bertelur, sanctuary orang utan dan macam-macam lagi.





Ini pulak kat Pasar Sandakan. Ikan bilis, ikan kering dan udang kering fresh & murah di sini.





Sempat makan dinner seafood sekali di Pasar Sim Sim. Orang sini kata tempat ni la paling famous. Kebanyakan ikan bakar tu nama pelik pelik. Kecuali ikan merah, yang lain semua tak pernah dengar. Takde kut kat semenanjung ni. Ikan memang fresh, murah pulak tu. Dalam 15 orang yang join makan hari tu, dengan ikan besar-besar 2 orang share satu ekor - the guys siap order lebih lebih lagi tambah, sotong, nasi dan side dishes, air - total cuma RM100 lebih mcm tu, tak sampai RM150. Macam tak percaya.






Gambar apa ni? Ekor dan sirip ikan gergasi..Masa ni i singgah dekat satu kedai fresh seafood. Beli fresh prawns nak bawak balik. Kat sini dia dah siapkan ice, lepas tu packing elok2 boleh bawak naik flight. Menakutkan decor kat kedai ni...hehehe.




Itu jelah cerita dari Sandakan.


p/s: A BIG thank you for yuzz9071, axim, Catz, muadzlife, mad redo1, su3y, arianna adrizal, Norae & Lily.lulu yang mendoakan yang baik-baik dan tinggalkan best wishes kat post bawah ni. Korang memang best!!!!

Doakan please.......

My flight departs at 0715 to Sandakan, Sabah. Its almost a 3 hour flight.....agak jauh jugak tempat ni. see.....hujung dunia.

Holiday? i wish. Pergi kerja, i will facilitate a 3 day training kat sana untuk pegawai-pegawai 'gomen'. Walaupun dah banyak kali buat training, i still get nervous. And i get super nervous when the subject matter tu kira bukan makanan i la. This coming session pun bukan my favourite subject matter, so not only do i have butterflies in my stomach....i have an entire zoo.

I'm praying for nothing to go wrong, i hope they dont stare at me with blank faces, i hope they laugh at my jokes, i hope they at least pretend like they are enjoying the session, i hope nobody falls asleep, i hope they dont go away feeling they just wasted 3 days and 4 nights of their lives.

Doakan saya, please.......( dgn muka sedih ni:-( )

Will be back late Thursday.

p/s - dah 0200, sempat tidur 2 jam ni. Airport taxi picks me up at 0500. Bye everyone

Happy Birthday Bapak

That's me on my dad's lap :-D

Alhamdullilah, today is Bapak's 78th birthday.

Semoga panjang umur, bertambah sihat dan dilindungi Allah selalu.

Have a good monday and a great week ahead people!

:-) Smile and Move. Smove!

*****************************************************************************
I was googling for videos i can use for my upcoming training event next month, and came across this. I thot its pretty cool as an energiser before i send the participants off to bed after the night session;-)

Sekadar Berkongsi.....

Khat di atas ialah Ayat Doa (Rabbi yassir wa laa tu’assir, rabbi tammim bilkhair)

Maksudnya:

Wahai Tuhanku, permudahkanlah dan jangan susahkan urusanku.. wahai Tuhanku, sempurnakanlah ia dengan kebaikan.

Anne says: Doa ni dulu Mak ajar, sebab pendek senang and cepat hafal. Mula-mula ceritanya tengah cari parking, masa tu susah sangat dapat. Pastu Mak mula baca doa ni. Then jumpa la spot kosong. Lepas tu mak pesan kalau dalam kesusahan, baca doa ni banyak2, insyaAllah dipermudahkanNya.

Jeritan Batinku

TOLOONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

BAYARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

FEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

AKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ok. i feel better now.

10 fakta pasal Genting trip

1. I am back.

2. I didnt really enjoy Genting.

3. The client still nak macam macam, so project belum tutup.

4. Driving up and down Genting was a nightmare esp masa naik tu malam and hujan. Gelap gelita and jalan licin.

5. I almost tertido masa driving home yesterday....masa tu dekat NKVE dah dekat nak sampai exit Bukit Jelutong. Gila bahaya!

6. I am having a throbbing headache...dari atas Genting sampai hari ni...like someone's banging my head with something.

7. Ada beberapa insiden berlaku masa workshop kat Genting. Orang yang nampak relax, kelakar and cool, rupanya boleh emo and buat drama tak hengat. Kalau nak kenal orang, tengok dia masa tengah pressure, baru keluar 'true colors'.

8. I ate a lot masa kat Genting tu, tapi orang masih dok kata "kurusnya, keciknya...makan banyak sikit" Bosan tau!

9. When you look younger than your age, people tend to treat you macam budak2...i didnt like the way some people treat me while i was there. Habis tu takkan nak jalan tampal IC, tampal resume kat kepala to get some respect.

10. I slept very little. First night, through some poor planning of the organisers, end up dekat some apartment 3 bilik yang bau lipas. 6 orang share. 4 lelaki 2 pompuan. and the room i was in, ada satu single bed je yg sungguh narrow. bantal satu. go figure. azab. Next day baru dapat check in hotel - nasib dapat free upgrade to junior suite. Besar la sikit katil dia - king size. Walaupon mengekalkan konsep tido sekatil, kurang azab.

Menuju Puncak

...bukan puncak AF, puncak Genting;-P

After tutup kedai - cuti last week, i'm back to work. This morning itself dah pergi meeting with these bunch of people...

Ada away day session dengan client kat Genting. Leaving this evening. Will be back n blogging on thursday.

I am praying my portion of the project will get the ALL CLEAR. Then my work is done. Dah tak larat dah project ni, banyak sgt delay. Lepastu boleh la mintak payment....

See ya later!

White shoes???

ok ke you all???

hmmm, i dont think so.

The guy wearing it is working together with me in this project. Kalau ada meeting/ session dgn client, mesti dia pakai kasut putih ni. I suka kacau-kacau dia pasal kasut putih ni.

i dunno. maybe with an all white suit - pegi red carpet event ke boleh kut. Puff Daddy could probably pull it off. Kalau for work....sesuai ke u'ols???

Hehehe. saje je merepek takde cerita nak blog.

Friday Reflections: Selawat

Riwayat dari at-Tarmizi

Ubay bin Ka'ab bertanya kepada Rasullulah s.a.w:

"Wahai Baginda rasul, berapa sering saya perlu mengucap selawat untukmu?

Baginda Rasul menjawab

"Sesukamu"

Ubay bertanya lagi

"Adakah seperempat" "adakah duapertiga"

Baginda Rasul menjawab

" Terserah engkaulah. Dan jika ditambahkan, maka itu lebih baik"

Ubay bertanya lagi,

"Adakah selawatku untukmu seluruhnya"

Baginda menjawab,

"Kerana itu dosamu akan diampuni, dan kesedihanmu akan dihilangkan"
********************************************************************************
Dalil berkenaan selawat pada hari Jumaat:
'Banyakkanlah membaca selawat padaku pada malam Jumaat dan hari Jumaat sebab selawat kamu diperlihatkan kepadaku'


anne sd:
1. dipetik dari buku La Tahzan (Jangan Bersedih) - one of my favourite books
2. peringatan untuk diri sendiri lebih dari orang lain

Closed for Business

Tutup Kedai.

I tutup kedai 3 hari. semalam, today & tomorrow.

Suka hati aku la kan...heheh. sebab LETIH. Boleh macam tu???

Berilah saya ruang untuk bernafas....wah, gitu :-) !!

Penat sangat la mengejar kerja, deadline...ada break sekejap since semalam until the weekend sebab client tengah deliberate. 2-3 weeks yg lepas ni rasanya 24 jam dalam sehari tak cukup. Nak cukupkan masa, terpaksalah stay-up. Ada hari yang tak tido langsung, atau tido sejam dua. (not complaining tho, time ada projek je macam ni.)

Nak tido, guling-guling tengok TV (sila jealous) , settle personal stuff...

shopping, jalan-jalan??? i wish...payment belum masuk la....hampir miskin tegar ni.

Lights Off

Proof that Anne supports Earth Hour.

Impossible Is Nothing?

my client is taking this "Impossible is Nothing" to a whole new level........

i am a mere mortal

Earth Hour 2009

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP? I HAVE:-)

If you havent, please do so here. Its simple and really fast, i promise. Someone asked me, terus tutup lampu je, tak payah sign up tak boleh ke? Memanglah boleh....but why not be counted as one of the many Malaysians who supports Earth Hour.

And this video is pretty cool to get you into the mood.



Plenty of other video clips at http://www.earthhour.org/malaysia , including the one with Sheikh 'Angkasawan' Muzaffar and Alex Yoong - pretty akward that ad dont you think. Hehe...

Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Silence please!

Anne is trying to think out of the box.

What do you do when the client review your work and says; "Belum cukup ummmph". Naturally, you ask what exactly do they mean. And what do you do when they say; "Hmmm, dont know"......??????

Hmmm, you go back to the drawing board, tear your brain apart, pull hairs, strain your eye sockets....

The customer is always right they say, so i'm figuring out the "ummph"

Ssssshhhhhh!

Kerja La la la la

Sepatutnya hari ni ada workshop dengan client untuk bentangkan kerja yang i dah buat lebih sebulan ni. Nervous jugak i tunggu sambil prepare apa yang patut. Gembira jugak dan semangat nak habiskan kerja sebab lepas workshop tu, amend apa yang patut, dah boleh tutup projek.

Tapi minggu lepas dapat email postpone la pulak sampai 7 April. Adoi....ok jugak ada lebih masa nak siapkan kerja, tapi itulah, bila dah tau lambat lagi....saya pun rileks sikit...hmmm rileks banyak.

Tak boleh jadi ni.....ok lah, hari ni dah janji tak nak rileks rileks dah. Siapkan kerje dulu.
