instagram

there's this apps in my iphone3 called instagram.. i love playing with it! modifying pictures in my phone to give it a vintage look (^_^) here are some examples!







even tho i had my iphone for 6 months plus now, im still slowly learning how to use it and add more apps :) okey la tu kan, slowly but surely hehe

what's your fav apps in your iphone? (^_^)

so what if i believe in unicorns?

yes i do..


ok, i know technically they dont exist and i accept that the bf actually laughed his head off and got a stomach ache from laughing too much when i said i thought unicorns were real animals, pfftt!


but in my defense, how can it not be real??


after all, there are other equally weird animals out there that is so unimaginable but it exists!


like the Leafy Sea Dragon! hah, u think im making it up? go and google it! its gold and and green and orange, gorgeous vibrant colours and looked like a seaweed!


or the Komondor Dog, its a dog with dreadlock hair!


or The Pink Fairy Armadillo - doesnt it have the cutest name!! and its super cute too!


or the Blobfish!! the name itself will make u laugh out loud, wait till u see how it looks like!!


all of the above animals is REAL.


so okey, fine, i accept the fact there isnt any unicorns in this world...for now.


i think we just havent discovered it yet :p


i shall leave you with a picture of the THE EMPEROR TAMARIN;

mcm ni cara org kita buat bisnes??

my cousin just got married, masa christmas hari tu, i didnt attend as i was away in london, so mom told me some stuff that happened during the wedding, macam2 hal berlaku, my cousin ni pulak, and family dia semua jenis yang let go jer, so senang la kena pijak ishk..

cerita pertama - my cousin tempah pelamin nye set pasang kat rumah, so lengkap la with arches, and the chairs, bunga etc bagai, kat arch tu, ade tempat or soket for the lights kan, but diorang tak pasang lampu tu, which kalau tak pasang, the whole pelamin looks gelap la kan, mmg la ade main lampu rumah kat siling tu, but lampu at the pelamin will light up the deco more kan? so my mom ckp la, pasang la lampu tu, org pelamin tu boleh ckp "lampu tu takde, bulb dah rosak" so, kalau rosak bulb beli la baru ganti kan? my mom insist jugak nak, co dah kata bayar ribu riban for the pelamin mesti lah nak perfect kan?? so in the end they put in the lampu and they actually charge my cousin for the extra bulbs!!??? boleh tak? padahal its part of the pelamin package la kan? then boleh lepas tu pegi ckp kat my auntie (my mom's sister) yang "makcik tu bising la banyak komplen" and pointed to my mom!! my mom punye la nak mengamuk but sabar jer la cos its org lain punye majlis kan. so ok fine, next...

cerita kedua - my cousin ordered 200 chairs with the covers (so jadi la mcm kat hotel2 tu, ngan reben kat belakang). agreed cost was rm1 per cover, so okey la. turns out, diorang tak cukup 50 covers, so org kerusi tu kena gi amik kat tempat lain. ok fine. dah habis majlis semua, they told my cousin for the balance 50 tu, diorang nak charge rm3 per cover!! ape kes kan?? kata nye sebab kena amik kat tempat lain! so, its not our problem right? kan dah agree rm1 per cover for 200 chairs, takkan u didnt know how many covers u actually have right?? and u know wat, sebab dah end of the majlis, my cousin bayar jer la sebab tak nak gaduh2.

cerita ketiga (and last ye :p) - my cousin hired a professional photographer. konon famous la and in high demand, siap kena gi dari kedah ke singapore ke kl amik gambar bagai, harga pun boleh tahan jugak la kan. so my cousin hire dia untuk tiga event, malam akad nikah, then sanding belah bride, then the next day sanding belah groom. lepas sanding belah bride, they went to take an outdoor shoot tepi pantai (which last nampak gambar atas batu2 jer pantai langsung tak nampak ntah pape nye photographer), after that, boleh plak si photographer ni kata dia nak balik kl terus mlm tu, ada kerja kat melaka. padahal my cousin already paid for the three events!!! tak sempat nak argue ape2 mamat tu trus balik lepas outdoor shoot tu, so masa sanding belah groom, they didnt have a professional photographer!!

i can imagine the stress that my cousin and family went through but they shouldnt let these people walk all over them, terima aje org nak buat ape. memang agak sial cara2 diorang ni berbisnes, macamana nak maju?? pastu kalau kita hire bangsa lain to arrange, ckp kita ni tak tolong bangsa sendiri, bangsa sendiri perangai mcm haram nak tolong bende nye kan??

but lesson learned from this - i will get a trusted person to make the arrangements for the above for me, kalau semua nak handle sendiri (ni kes my cousin jugak, kalau ngan family jer mintak la tolong kan, that's wat we are here for) mau pengsan nanti. mcm kes photographer tu kan, padahal adik beradik my cousin ni semua camera dslr bagai tu, semua terrer IT, semua gang2 kelab photography, takkan tak boleh tolong adik sendiri cari kan professional photographer yg reliable kan? or yg buat part time pun kadang2 lawa jugak they work right?

so nway, itu jer cerita utk hari ini, sekian terima kaseh :p

dalam dilema

i have a decision to make..there's someone i need to tell something to, but im not sure if i should or not..

technically there's no need, but i think as a courtesy sake, i should..it would make things at both ends easier in the future..

hmm...i have to think about this, luckily i dont have to do it so soon, still got time to think about it huhu

anyway, wats yr plans for the long cny break? :)

im working as usual but its ok, i want to kumpul my leave banyak cos i foresee im gonna need lots of it towards end of the year :)

i want to update about my recent break to london, my first true proper boxing day in london!! yes! got the pics and such tapi tak upload lagi, but i will nanti k :p

i have a craving for Ben & Jerry's vanilla toffee crunch la :( tak jumpe lg kat msia ni ade ke dok huhu

airheads and bimbos

i have no mood to update my blog..

nowadays life have become a bore..

i go to work at 7am, home by 8pm, spend an hr with the family and was in bed by 10..

it is indeed quite sad..

havent made any plans at all for this year, especially travel plans, which is quite a surprise for me, i usually mapped out my travel plans by 1st week of jan.

but nothing is certain until certain someone makes a decision in june..so until then, im just going with the flow....

oh fyi - work also have become terribly annoying lately..its like im dealing more and more with airheads and bimbos, male female alike, asking stupid annoying questions like;

im intern, can i get a handphone? - duhhhhhhhh!!!

this place yr arranging for company dinner, is it halal? cos otherwise i wont go - no, my dear, i purposely want to serve sweet and sour pork to u, u idiott!!

one particular bimbo was out of this world;

1. we arranged for a surprise baby shower for a colleague, the idiot couldnt make it, went to the mother to be and said "im sorry i couldnt make it to your surprise baby shower" - obviously the mother to be was like, huh, wat?? which part of surprise u didnt get la right??

2. had a lunch meeting with a very important clients, boss decided to invited all the admin staff along to show diversity and inclusiveness crap-watever, so fine. she ordered seafood tomato pasta. the general manager of the client ordered carbonara. the waitress somehow mixed the order and send her the carbonara and she happily ate it, not even questioning why (1) there's no bloody seafood in carbonara and (2) where's the tomato sauce??. the general manager had to settle for the seafood pasta she ordered!! boleh?!! and this is very very important client okehhh!!

another annoying this is, im like suddenly the unspoken admin support suddenly in the office. it all started when i became the IT focal point for the department. yes u can go ahead and laugh. it is ironically hilarious. so when new staff comes in im suppose to get them their access to accounts and laptops and such but suddenly im like one stop information centre/admin/kuli la plak, and get these kind of shit;

can u introduce this person around the department - waddahell rite, hr la buat kan or the respective boss!!

can u arrange welcome/farewell lunch dinner bfast for this and that person - like i dont have anything better to do!!

can u arrange flowers/gift basket for this person who just gave birth/sick in the hospital/cat-gave-birth/passed-driver's license - seriously??!! seriously??!!!

do you know how to arrange to buy a printer/stationeries/projector/food deliveries/a ship/a plane/the wheels where the hamsters goes round and round - yes, im the hamster!

do u know if this place is nice? how far is it? how to get there? - helllooooooo, that's what google is foorrrrrr!!

im surrounded by idiots, airheads and bimbos!!

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!

life shouldnt be that hard :(

my brother just came back from the hospital, visiting a friend of his who attempted to commit suicide.

his tale is - he was born in a priviliged family and got everything he wanted. unfortunately the father passed away when he was in his teens and his mother remarried another man. a very very rich man with a title as the fourth wife. he lost his balance when the father died and when he saw how his stepfather abuses the mom, and how the mom has one affair after another with foreign men whom she brought into the house shamelessly in front of her children. he got into deep depression mode and not having a strong person/friend/family to turn to. in his suicide note, his line, he wrote how he hoped Allah s.w.t will forgive him and all that he has done.

my brother came back from the hospital just now with his other friends, and they were sitting around having tea talking to my dad and mom to get their advices, and to my sister, to get proffesional medical opinion. they were very regretful that they did not pay too much attention to their friend. everyone is so busy and everyone has many thing going on in their lives that they forgot they have a friend in need. a friend that could have died aimlessly. he drifted apart futher and further and they let him be, when they should have known better. they knew he needed help, they didnt think it would get that bad, but who knew right?

i wondered how many people out there who thinks about commiting suicides everyday, and what made them stop from doing it?

God? friends? family?

makes you realise that you are indeed very very very very very very very LUCKY to have all three.
