family affairs

 

I went to the movie on Friday nite with my sister.. since she was back home from college.. in fact it was her mid-term break but due to extra-curricular she had to handled/organized, she had to stay at hostel.. at first we want to watch spiderman.. but from the timing I knew we couldn't make it.. plus my sis wanted to buy her college supply.. so, we decided to watch 'NEXT'.. by nicolas cage and julianne moore.. it was perfect timing.. not too late, not too early.. but the movie was kind of flat.. and kind of confusing, a bit la.. we missed the movie for a few minutes due to long queue at the supermarket.. this what I called watch the movie for the sake of watching the movie.. usually I would watch that one particular movie that I really wanted to watch.. that's it.. I'm not the frequent visitor to cinema.. for this movie, I'm kind of regretted and kind of felt moi money was poured down the drain.. that's it.. enough said already..

then, saturday nite.. mom asked us to get ready for dinner.. selalu camtu.. last2 minit baru nak inform.. hesh.. so we were ready after maghrib.. but my youngest sister was still not back home.. since she was the reason moi mom having this dinner.. and also in conjuction with mother's day last week la.. she had a nite over at her's fren house for hers' birthday party.. but my sister, she has this kind of habit of telling moi mom at the very last minute and rushed out from house (sound a bit familiar like moi mom, rite?).. macam budak2 nak lari dr umah.. and lebih kurang cam biskut chipsmore.. 'now you see, now you don't'.. sepantas2 aku pon idak ler sampai begitu sekali.. sometimes aku pon tak paham la perangai budak2 ni.. why la susah sangat nak honest ngan your parent.. and moi mom pulak dah lepas dia takde tu baru nak mengamuk marah2 mana dia pegi and so on.. apsal tak marah masa dia nak pi tadi? aku usually malas nak masuk campur.. bcos if aku involve sekali nanti jadi mende lain.. melarat ntah ke mana.. last2 aku yg gaduh ngan mak aku.. so due to my temper and impatient yg which I already knew that I will make the scene worst.. usually moi dad would settle this on behalf of my mom.. so my dad call her where was she whereabout during that time.. she was from bangsar (that fren of her has this very socialite mom who is willing to drag her daughter when-ever and where-ever she goes.. aku pon tak penah sampai ke bangsar tu..) ntah party mana dia pi aku tak tau.. plus it was also her's birthday on that sunday.. so maybe she and her fren had planned double birthday party.. I don't know.. so the purpose of the dinner was to celebrate moi youngest sister's birthday.. venue 'actually thai' restaurant sunway pyramid.. I have to thank you ms kay to introduced moi to this place.. which I introduced to moi mom and which she kind of felt in love instantly.. especially with that steamed fish.. even though the price were a bit expensive but I think it's all worth it.. so.. enjoy the piccas.. we had fun though.. laughing and teasing each other.. the food were form in line from one end to another end of the table.. and the waiter had to switched those main courses to make sure everyone on the table got a bit of pieces of everything.. there's how moi weekend went..

royal wedding

The royal wedding : Blissful moments

KUALA KANGSAR: The Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah and Zara Salim Davidson became husband and wife in a brief, simple ceremony at the Istana Iskandariah in Bukit Chandan yesterday.

Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah pronouncing his marriage vows to Zara Salim Davidson before Perak Mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria. The ceremony was witnessed by Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah, Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Bainun and guests at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar yesterday.

Palace officials carrying nine trays of gifts presented by Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah to Zara Salim Davidson at their marriage solemnisation ceremony at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar yesterday.

The ceremony began at 10.30am in the ceremonial room, soon after the arrival of Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak and the Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Bainun.

Orang Kaya Temenggong Paduka Raja Datuk Seri Wan Fathir Wan Hussain, who represented the bride’s family, paid homage to Sultan Azlan Shah and sought his permission to begin the ceremony.

This was followed by the entrance of the royal court attendants with the dowry (mas kahwin) from Raja Nazrin for his bride. This consisted of 250gm of gold wafers and eight trays of gifts, including a diamond ring.

In return the bride’s delegation, led by Datuk Tunku Hamdy Tunku Ahmad Tajuddin, handed over 11 trays of gifts, including a silver ring, to Raja Nazrin’s younger brother Datuk Seri Raja Ashman Shah.

At 11am, the 50-year-old Raja Nazrin, resplendent in a white Baju Melayu and sampin, calmly sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion in front of Perak Mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria and pronounced the akad nikad once without faltering.

The solemnisation was witnessed by Raja Ashman, Datuk Seri Mohd Salleh Ismail, the husband of Datuk Seri Raja Azureen who is Raja Nazrin’s sister, and some 200 guests.

Moments later, Raja Nazrin went to the next room where 34-year-old Zara, stunning in a lightly coloured long kebaya, was waiting for him to slip the wedding ring on her finger.

Zara kissed Raja Nazrin’s hand while he lovingly kissed her lightly on the forehead.

It was a touching scene at the end of the ceremony as Zara hugged her relatives and wiped away tears of joy, while a beaming Raja Nazrin was congratulated by his siblings and other members of the royal family.

The ceremony was broadcast live to a media centre at Sungai Perak Resort.

Later in the afternoon Raja Nazrin paid a short visit to the media centre and chatted with several of the more than 100 journalists stationed there.

He also inspected the preparations being made for the Jamuan Rakyat, scheduled to be held at the Arena Square, today and tomorrow.

I am the sleepyheads

In the morning, you're Still Sleepy


Sleepyheads like you are the reason they invented the snooze button. "Another five minutes! Just another five minutes." Okay, maybe one more...But eventually you do get up to face the day and arrive wherever you need to be in somewhat decent shape.

That said, after your initial reluctance to get out from under the covers, we'd guess you're pretty eager to get your day going. And while you probably won't be up with the roosters (or at least volunteer to be), you're able to be surprisingly productive before noon. Sometimes you just may need a little nudge or strong cup of coffee to get going. Then you'll be off and running!

What's Your Morning Personality?

road rage to raging bull

I don't know how to start this entry.. bcos I'm still feeling very pissed off since yesterday.. this incident was happened on the way back to my house after work.. I had to make one right turn at this so-called very small junction from the main road.. I'm the first on the line to make that turn, so I waited patiently.. since there were so many cars from the opposite lane, there's no harm to be more patient, right? in view with my impatient driving attitude, at least I give it a thought to sucked-up my ego and waited on the line very very patiently, which was very difficult for a person with this kind of flaw like moi to do.. then, when it was clear to make that turn, I made that turn.. behind me there was this white m*v1 (my bro also has the same color/model vehicle.. so.. I'm not totally biased towards the owner's of this particular car.. just towards this mangkuks driver..) the driver was suddenly impatiently on the rush to overtake my car during that turn (obviously the driver made that right turn same time as moi) on that one small lane road.. and the driver flashed me high beam.. for a few times, if I'm not mistaken.. what was that for? it just showed that whoever it was, just so very pissed with moi who was very slowly take my time (it seemed that time was like forever to the driver) to make the turn and kind of snail-pace to drive along that tiny road.. my car is kind of slow pick-up, I don't deny that.. yet could you just be polite and courtesy on the road? where's the manners? I had no idea who was the driver, either he or she.. bcos it was already dark outside.. I thought I went back home late enough to avoid this kind of situation.. but apparently I was wrong.. I don't like to rush home during rush hour.. I'd rather go home a bit late with smooth and clear road to drive.. but this one particular sicko and saiko driver had proved myself the other way round.. PEOPLE LIKE THEM WILL BE AT ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME.. maybe the sicko and saiko driver got stomach ache badly that he/she couldn't hold up any longer..

the other day I was so pissed with finance dept.. today I was so pissed with IT dept.. I had to kind of use their server room to perform intra-bank transfer.. I would love not to be in this room.. (hopefully coming soon, since the bank will migrate the system to internet based application.. I don't know why they didn't do this earlier and eventually save my life..) back to that room, I needed an access to go into this room and the door needed to be shut at all time.. the problem with my access card.. it took a while to open that stupid door which sometimes I had to stand still there and look like an idiot just to open the door.. due to poor and cheap automatic door the supplier could give with what the stingy co could pay.. technically, I have to shut this stupid door whenever I enter or leave the room.. but what I do is, I go outside and pick-up my print job.. then, go in again to totally disconnect that online banking stuff.. the reason I do this way bcos my print-out usually went missing.. bcos apparently so many people using this ONE printer.. if I disconnect in advance and shut the door, I'll have to re-do the whole thing again if that print-out went missing (which were usually would be the case).. and for sure would be taking forever or equal to the quarter or probably half of my working day.. you think that's enough already to add to my misery life.. NO!.. apparently this particular guy added more burden to what already seemed tricky enough moi to deal with.. it's not that I've been doing this for 1 day.. in fact, it's already been 3 years.. everytime I went out to pick-up that print-out.. he would like purposely shut the door in a very discreet sneaky kind of manners which kind of annoy moi BIG TIME.. it is everytime, people!.. everytime he gets the chance of doing it and everytime he feels like doing it and everytime he thinks that I'm still don't get that the door needed to be shut for security purposes.. like this morning, he was behind me on the way to his place.. I was up to the printer.. he just shut the damn door in that annoying kind of manner sort of ways.. with no professional ethics at all.. for me, it was so rude!!! the best thing, other guys in the same dept, couldn't be bothered with this tiny weeny door thingy.. and here the best part, the room was surrounding with GLASS wall, not solid wall, people! meaning you could see whatever I'm doing inside.. it's only with HIM got this door problem!!! goshhhh.. I walk very fast.. dashing back and forth to the printer and then back again to the room.. as matter of fact, I will/would be gone in a blink of anybody's eyes.. could you just cut me some slack here? plus I'm the one who'd been running around from 1st to 2nd floor just to use this slow snail pace online banking thing.. NOT YOU, YOU SELF-OBSESSED GILA KUASA FREAKO!.. yet you don't have that courtesy or professionalism or even guts to say that you hate to see that door ajar even to 1 inch.. maybe there is a reason why GOD choose me to be so patient with this all kind of unprofessional unethical unettiquette unscrupulous unreasonable unrighteous people.. see, the neverending list of words has just begun for, again same as the above, sicko and saiko.. I would loveeeeee just to lash out at him right there and then.. *I'm holding my tongue very very tight*

and pissed off with my lil bro who had successfully caused some kind of noticing remark on the back of moi car and jammed the cd player.. I'm so tired to be mad at you la..

mother's day

last weekend was mother's day weekend.. some people might think that this day is way over-marketed and over-commercialized and over-rated.. it probably does.. as for moi, I am not entirely agree with that though.. there will be people who'll take advantage to sell more cakes, gifts, wrapping, packaging stuff when mother's day comes.. if there won't be any demand, there won't be any supply, right?.. for me, the purpose of this day is to show our appreciation, gratefulnes and love to our beloved mother.. bcos on our daily mundane routine of running around like mad between working and managing households.. I don't think we have time, not even a second to say 'THANK YOU' or 'I LOVE YOU'.. even if we do, there will be second thought to pursue that gesture.. it's either purely shyness or purely bluntness.. most probably we would ruined the moment to express whatever words we've been meaning to say..

some people might say.. 'we never celebrate mother's day back-in-the-days.. so why now?'.. well, it was the same thing for my family too.. I have to thank to effectively/aggressively delivered ad either on electronic or print media.. now we do know that there is special day designated to celebrate mother and father.. all this information are all shoved to our face (unless you live in a secluded cave withiout access to tv, news, internet or you just such an ignorant person..) and furthermore, it is a good thing to celebrate this day.. it is for a good caused.. should we still deny it? my family will accept whatever thing that'll do more good to us.. for instance, we bought cake for my mom and she was happy with it.. we've made our mother's happy.. so, should we refrain this kind of activity next time? of course not, right? I think it was the least we could do.. I think we do need to change ourselves to celebrate the life of our's mom and dad.. bcos it's easy for us to make that transition compare to our parents.. for one day, let's put all the differences aside and save that tiring row to another time.. so come on, let's do it together.. if they are happy when, for eg, we buy them a cake or treat them with luxurious spa.. so what's you gonna do? just sit around and do nothing while other family treat their's mother to dinner or holiday?.. it's just now, there will be more celebration in the family other than birthday or anniversary.. for me, the most important thing is to make them happy.. that's it.. it will strengthen our love to them and without doubt their undeniable love to us.. but if your parent is so against this idea, maybe there's nothing more you could do.. or you could always try and never give-up.. hopefully, eventually they'll accept whatever you're trying to do.. as of between ourselves and supplier.. it is a win-win situation.. for us, we have a chance to show on how much we love our mother.. and for supplier, they have advantage to offer various kind of gifts for us to choose.. even we know that there will be no material value at all in comparison to our mother's love.. or you could just make your own present if you're so against over-marketed stuff available in the market..

I would like to wish Happy Mother's Day to all my dear frens who are proudly mother themselves.. to my aunties.. one aunty in particular.. I will always respect your dedication to our family.. and last but not least, especially to my mother.. I will always try to be a better person.. thank you for everything.. I love you all!

*suddenly, feeling so very emotional right now*

amazing race & antm winners

finally, the journey were over for this two reality series.. now I can relax and lay back with nothing to worry about.. and there's no need to crack my head guessing who'll win these two series.. which by the way, not really a surprise to me since I already knew the winners ahead ;)



the amazing race all stars edition ~ eric and danielle
eric was very tough on danielle.. he kept pushing and torturing danielle until the finish line.. and it was all worth it.. they'd been thru numbers of unfortunate ordeal during the race.. being yielded twice and being asked to leave the plane which was already on boarding.. very unlucky moment, bcos they were already sit on that plane.. with eric being on the final three twice (lost to the hippies couple on previous race which by the way I'd supported since the beginning of the race.. hehe..), he'd kind of know what they had to do to come-up top of the game.. although they were contantly bickering and yelling to each other.. it was needed in order to complete the tasks.. in a real life, I doubt they'll survive the relationship.. one is a bartender in up east-coast NY and the other one is a waitress in down-south Florida.. huh?.. I don't know.. maybe Eric showed his other side during the show.. we wouldn't never know.. so.. we'll have to wait and see what will happened.. I guessed now we have one more reality couple in addition to rob and amber.. hehe.. honestly, I don't really have a fav pick between those 3 couples: eric and danielle, the beauty queen, charla and mirna.. but if those other 2 wins, it would be cool bcos they were all-girls team.. I would/will vote for girls team.. YOU GIRLS ARE ROCK!



antm ~ final three were eugena, melrose and caridee.. I knew who would be the winner.. I just needed to watch what kind of drama they'd anticipated during the final.. so, eugena like tyra said.. 'where was the hell this girl coming from?'.. she was totally outgoing.. truly showed her opposite side from quiet and reserve to being bubbly and confident.. for me, she truly shines.. only the judge wouldn't like that.. bcos they want her to keep that bubbly criteria all along.. and expect her to bring that up on the photoshoot, everytime.. melrose.. I'm still labelling her as a drama queen.. she was acting 'I KNOW MORE THAN YOU DO' since the beginning.. truly over in everything.. over-confidence, over-doing, over-to-impress-all-judges.. I hate the judges for not able to see the other side of her.. bcos she was gifted to overshadow everthing.. she always did that.. and always strike whenever she tried very hard to impress the judges.. caridee.. for me, who's crazy, unpredictable, minus the diva attitude.. whenever she crossed the line, she'll took a step back from the line.. and admitted that whatever she did was very wrong.. you could see whatever she's doing was natural, pure and honest.. so whatever wrong-doing comes up in the end was totally unintentional.. and bcos that's what who she really is.. caridee and eugena bonded during the final.. shared the same interest to dislike melrose.. unfortunately, it was the end for eugena.. the final was against melrose and caridee.. the final runaway show was bridal gown with horror scary theme.. caridee did exaggerate on the acting stuff during her walk.. with all sort of not-so-pretty-face-expressions.. but for me, she was cool.. melrose.. kind of overreacting when caridee accidently stepped on her's veil and torn it apart.. she was so fussed and fumed with the accident.. see, I was right.. she always always overreacting on that small tiny bitsy stuff.. just concentrate on what you supposed to do la.. heshh.. and she had to be calmed by mr jay.. I don't understand why mr jay didn't bring this stuff up during deliberation session.. bcos he's always report anything happened during photoshoot/runaway show.. nobody could escape from any little tiny mistake they've made.. so I kind of wonder, why?? maybe melrose had overshadowed things.. see.. I told ya.. in the end, who knew that girl with skin diseases since a little girl would be the america's next top model.. bravo caridee!.. you are so much worth it.. and for melrose I'd kind of expected her reaction.. she cried and kept reassuring herself that she was supposed to win due to her hardwork her passions her dreams.. geezz.. enough already with this crap.. wake-up girl.. be real.. don't be too plastic!..

so that was it for the reality shows.. until next season.. now, I could concentrate on the tv comedy/drama series.. and have more time for myself.. yaa.. rite!

golden triangle

 

primer dia (1st day) ~ our flight was from KLIA-Bangkok-Chiang Mai.. we had to transit at Bangkok since there was no direct flight to Chiang Mai.. Bangkok's new airport named Suvarnabhumi... and our transit gate was very far away from the arrival gate.. the airport is not like our KLIA where there's train ride from this one end to the other end of the airport.. luckily it was our way to chiang mai not the way back home.. I'm quite sure if it was on the way back, I don't think we even reach at the gate on time from that long walk.. the journey was about 3 hours.. and it was rocky up there like a roller coster due to bad weather.. I was so scared of my life that I hold tight to both armrests.. prayed and recited all kinds of doas, ayats I could've remember.. even though I'm a frequent flyer (not so frequent la), I still do have goosebumps whenever I fly.. really really do la.. so anyway.. alhamdulillah.. we reached the destination slightly delay but the most importantly safe and sound and so much alive.. after picked-up our luggages.. we were off to dinner.. so very the hungry at that time.. bcos I only ate nasi lemak that morning, and lunch was on the plane.. which was enough to 'alas perut'.. it was better than nothing, kan?.. at this restaurant which is famous for its cultural show.. couldn't remember the name even tho I tried.. Palace something.. and digicam battery was dead at that time.. so couldn't take picture either.. food was served on tray and comprises of fried chicken, ayam masak kicap, fried potatoes, and jelantah... the place was packed with tourists.. all this mat salleh who were waiting for the show to be started at around 9.30pm.. and funny thing happened when I was about to sit on the bench at our table area.. our next table was sitting by french tourists.. this one lady asked me, where was I and the rest of the group from.. and I said 'Malaysia'.. I don't know if she couldn't hear the thing I said bcos it was quite boisterous.. then suddenly she said.. 'OOO.. BRAZIL!'.. and started to speak spanish with me.. aiyoss.. what happened la here.. did I even wear a spaghetti top and short and have really big boobs for people to ogle at and a very tanned skin?.. for one and foremost, do I even look like one? FYI none of the above.. why la this people.. dulu2 moi thought all this mat salleh were all pandai? the truth is NO.. we never and shouldn't think that at all.. in fact we are so much better than them in terms of world geography.. some of them are so close minded and have not even wanting to know what other part of the world's people look like.. interesting moment to start off the journey heh..

(2nd day) ~ in the morning we were off to the famous double dragon temple of Wat Phra Hat Doi Suthep where was located up on the hilly side of chiang mai area.. the temple is overlooking chiang mai city from that peak.. nice view.. and the best part they still preserve this big durian and even jackfruit trees.. which were believed to be more than hundred years old.. we took the cable car up to the temple.. it was very short distance.. from what our tourist guide told us, I thought it seemed like very far away and very steep whatsoever.. yet it was only few minutes journey by the cable car.. and the funny thing happened during our waiting.. out of nowhere appeared this 2 dogs and sibuk berlari2 around us yg tgh waiting on the line.. and this makcik2 from our group pon telah teroverreacted dgn kedatangan tetamu tak diundang ni.. I thought that dogs wouldn't bug us after that.. I was mistaken.. instead of going away, they were both waiting the cable car same like us all.. and would join the ride with us.. if they could like stay still.. it was fine for me.. bcos these dogs were so busy la nak jln sana sini in that tiny small cable car.. it had created frantic hysterical screaming plus ups and downs jumping by this one particular makcik.. thank god my mom was cool.. even so after that she was kind of pissed of jugak.. as for moi, I'm standing at the very back of the cable car.. so I had my mom to cover for moi if the dogs decided to jump at us... aiyak.. luckily there was one lady who'd kind enough to instruct the dogs to stay still.. and she said "I know you're a muslim and you could not touch the dog. I have a fren who is muslim too" and further explained that frantic situation to her frens.. so that frens of her wouldn't be puzzled why la makcik2 yg cantik2 belaka ni menjerit2 kat this 2 dogs.. hahaha.. so funny... then we were off to honey factory, silk factory, leather factory and gem factory.. takde shopping apa pon cos semuanya mahal.. all standard place maa.. manaleh shopping.. cuma honey tu jek bcos it's pure one.. moi mom some bought stuff kat situ cos telah tergoda dgn minah yg buat sales.. speaking dia tu ada slang yg pelik.. pastu pakcik2 makcik2 semua dok gelakkan dia.. jahat gilos.. after dinner at nite.. aku dgn gatalnya nak pi massage.. I never been tu massage or spa or whatever theraputic stuff nilah.. and our tourist guide suggest this one massage parlour where using only traditional and ancient techniques.. not like the modern one.. I thought I give it a shot.. and my mom also dah start sakit2 badan la itulah inilah.. end-up after massage aku yg sakit badan.. mmg giler sakit.. tobat tak pi lagi.. cara dia tu lain dr yg lain.. tak tau la camner nak explain.. pi sendiri la baru tau..

tercer dia (3rd day) ~ we started the journey early in the morning to Chiang Rai.. it took around 3 hours.. very far away.. moi was sleeping along the way bcos bosan dah tak tau nak tgk mende.. tgk mende sama.. paddy fields.. hutan.. kampung.. vege patches.. itu jelah.. if ada snowy mountain ke.. best gak...

adelante dia (4th day) ~ up close and personal with elephants at Maesa Elephant Camp.. itu gajah sangat pandai lagi cerdik.. suka aku tgk.. then, we were off to persian carpet and silk factory.. where none of us buy even a single thing there due to its oversteep price.. then to umbrella factory and orchid farm.. well, it were educational tour rather than shopping tour... since we still have time before dinner and we were on the way back to the hotel around 2pm.. after lunch.. we asked the driver to dropped us off at the Central Plaza Mall.. it is the most happening mall here in Chiang Mai.. and off to this particular department store called Robinson.. my mom and her frens of course la very looked forward to go to this store.. this store were exist on 70-80s in KL.. but vanished during 90s.. they were planning to buy all kind of undergarment here bcos of the quality.. something like that.. so anyhow.. we were there for probably around 2 hrs.. then after that took a tut-tut back to hotel.. we went for dinner and Hunan Muslim restaurant.. the food were all good.. I noticed that we'd been to a tiny weeny restaurant.. not a very fancy one.. but the food were all good and delicious.. except the 1st restaurant we'd been to, with cultural show, dancing and everything but the food were so and so.. not the best one..

quinto dia (5th day)~ final day in chiang mai.. we woke-up early in the morning spirited and excited to do our last final shopping.. we went to the nearest market.. after asking front-desk on where is it located.. and also from our fellow group members.. we were off by foot to the market.. I think the location of wet and dry market were side by side.. we end-up at the wet market first.. then after 5 minutes walking, we reached the dry market.. my mom, in the last minute as usual, was looking a blouse for herself.. yeah, we found one.. and I got myself 'Di0r' loafer.. after non-stop bargaining with the salesgirl who didn't speak english.. she had to asked another salesgirl to become translator.. I thought I would get a really good bargain since it was the last pair.. but she'd just refuse.. and just I'm ready to take-off.. afraid that we would be late to pack our luggages.. finally, she gave me the price I asked.. and off we went back to our hotel.. on the way, bought some souvenirs since I couldn't find some earlier..

may I see you again, Chiang Mai...
