Selamat Hari Merdeka!

I want to wish 50th Happy Birthday to our beloved peaceful nation, Malaysia.

May our country always be in peaceful and harmony.

I expected more good things will be coming and more 'Independence Day' years to come!

Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia!

langkawi.. after a decade..

it has been more than a decade since I set foot on Langkawi island.. yes.. I know.. it's been a long time and it's the truth.. I remembered the last time I went there was with my college buddies during college days to watch LIMA exhibition.. ironically, we'd rented a Hyundai car (cannot recall what model, I'll remember when I see one) for our ride.. I just couldn't remember what year was that.. maybe if I can find photos of us there, then only I can recall.. at that time, the island was kind of deserted.. compare to today which is crowded not only with people.. but also with all kind of duty free shops.. they were sprung like mushrooms sprung to life after the rain.. the langkawi I remembered was mellow, peaceful, calm and quiet island.. with sandy beaches and small chalet along the beach.. back then, there were no tall building on the island.. now, hotels are big and tall.. roads are becoming narrow, small and tight.. although those 2 same opposite lanes were there since GOD knows when.. in addition to that, most of sundry shops were build at the roadside.. which make things worst..

The trip was organized by my mom's office.. almost most of all her unit were going.. in total of 10 families.. kind of family day specially organized for/by her unit.. 2 executive coaches were needed to chauffer us all from Shah Alam to Kuala Perlis on Friday nite.. we reached there the next morning.. we didn't have to wait long for ferry ride.. luckily, the ferry co made special announcement for us when it was time to aboard.. obviously, bcos we was one big group.. they also had reserved designated places for us on the ferry.. so there was no hassle there.. so far the journey was smooth as silk.. it took almost an hour to reach Langkawi jetty.. I never thought it was that far though.. the ferry was packed with people and luggage.. at the jetty, we have to wait for our ride.. I thought we all would be chauffer on the bus.. apparently, they'd rented a van for each family (for small family which comprised of 3 or 4 person.. they would scooched together 2 families in the same van).. since our's was among the big one, we do needed our own van and chaperon.. luckily, my 1st bro joined us all.. at first, he didn't really confirm to join this trip.. it was supposed to be my 2nd bro.. but he just couldn't make it.. busy with his class and work.. otherwise, we wouldn't have any driver to drive that old van.. moi, my mom, my 2 sis (one is underage and one with no driving experience) and 3 little kids.. even my mom hadn't see this coming..

the downside of the trip I would say, weather and missing luggage.. not luggage la.. a plastic bag with all those kind of expensive chocolates.. my leg were still sore of running around back and forth to those endless duty shops.. choosing all kind of varieties and comparing prices.. sigh!.. luckily my mom save some in her hand luggage.. but most them were the cheap one la... dah takde rezeki nak merasa yg mahal2.. maybe next time around.. weather was gloomy and rainy.. the farthest part we went was underwaterworld.. that was it! I should plan this trip ahead if I really want to cover most part of the island.. rasa tak puas hati berjalan this time!

and for family bowling tournament we were 4th from 10 families.. it was GOOD! considered only moi and mom participated in the game.. my 2 sisters memang tangan kayu.. baling ntah macamana.. bola itu melompat2 macam katak.. nasib takde org yg cedera.. pelik aku diorang tak penah main.. me during college days dah terjebak in this game.. my bro, he'd been imported to another team which has only 3 team members.. so, nak cukupkan korum jek.. tak percaya gak aku dia tak penah main bowling.. betol rupanya! nasib tak masuk dlm team kitorang.. hehehe.. berlagak sungguh! tapi lama2 tu ok laa.. boleh catch up.. ala guys ni.. senang jek.. it's my 2nd bro yg terror in all sort of sports.. you just name it.. futsal, bola, badminton, bowling, skateboard.. among sports yg I know he played.. hockey and rugby jek tak join lagi.. if he has time, moi believe he will play one day!

let's play futsal

*before the game.. muka semua nervous jek.. senyum pon terpaksa..*
*after played versus siapa ntah.. semua pancit..*
*konon2 main dalam court.. panaskan badan and training*

moi was chosen to be a 'bidan terjun' to represent company's ladies futsal team.. there was a friendly match between motor group which was held yesterday, sunday at s*nway sports planet.. pagi2 dah kena pegi... lagi awal dari moi datang keje.. hehe.. so as usual, muka2 yg sama jugak la main semua game i.e. netball, badminton.. tapi bcos I'm not the great player and not the strong one.. telah kena yelled with team manager.. and moi was withdrawn from the game.. sempat beraksi for the first half time only.. I'd kind of felt bad though.. tapi takpelah.. dah tau my position must be on reserved bench... so tak kuasa aku nak berasa hati.. ikut ajelah apa manager cakap.. next time around I won't listen to whatever people outside of the court say.. semak jek... I did shout when other people played but not in a directive way.. just cheered for them.. but some people love to boss other people around.. so there goes my ketidakpuasanhati!..

tapi the best part semuanya memang bersemangat waja.. and we all had fun.. even most of us has zero experience with futsal.. apatah lagi lawan tournament.. so, seronok bcos we were not the last one although not the champion.. even though our's place is second from the last.. 3/4.. still quite impressive for a futsal virgin like us.. adalah 2-3 org yg penah main.. tapi majority memang tak penah main.. 1st game semuanya nervous.. jadi lost to LR.. 2nd game dah gained confident sikit.. so menang 1-0.. AB ni nampak jek lincah.. tapi sepak bola ntah ke mana.. and lagi teruk drpd us jugak rasanya.. hehe.. jahat aku.. final game sbb lawan dgn the big team.. so.. takut jugak.. jadinya byk defense.. itu yg seri.. our scores:

HY vs LR : 3 - 2 (LR is the champion.. so at least we all kalah tak malu.. this team consisted of senior2 player.. makcik2 yg siap bawak anak2 main.. diorg ni jugak terror main netball.. boleh kata terror dlm semua sukan la.. cos from past record kitorg asik kalah ngan diorg ni..)

HY vs AB : 1 - 0 (this team was sungguh berlagak.. their's men team pandang us sebelah mata.. as if we all tak boleh main.. suka hati aku!.. their's men team was also kalah to our's men team.. lagi tambah suka aku!)

HY vs SDAM : 0 - 0 (masa memula tgk SDAM ni main.. abis dibelasahnya AB.. 3-0 if not mistaken.. memang we all gerun la tgk diorg ni main.. and they also have one player who plays in skuad kebangsaan.. haa amik!.. mau tak kecut semuanya.. I expected they would be the champion.. since aku balik awal.. tak tau siapa yg menang.. tapi mmg confident SDAM would be the ladies champion.. rupanya salah tekaanku..)

Final ladies placement:
1) LR
2) SDAM
3) HY
4) AB

Final men placement:
1) FO
2) HY - Workshop
3) HY - Technical
4) FO

(for men, one co sent more than 1 team, like us sent 3 teams.. and 2 of them were in leading place.. so not bad huh.. us ladies, nak cari org utk cukupkan 1 team pon payah, lg nak tambah jadi 2-3 teams.. tidak laa akan tercapai mission itu..)

I believe if we all rajin turun practise or main at least once a week ke.. mesti boleh belasah SDAM tu.. hehehe.. semangat tak abis nih.. apa2 pon I had fun.. takde la injured teruk.. since aku main sekejap jekkan.. the best players I would say our's defense and our's goalkeeper.. they were awesome!.. even denga compliment from opponent's supporters.. 'GOALIE TANGKAP BAIK!!' bcos she did manage to save most of the 'serangan yg bertubi2' from our opponent.. sadly dia pon dah nak blah.. tapi hopefully can still keep in touch and continue to play with us..

*tak penah aku citer pasal sport camnihkan.. waaa.. sangat impress!!*

story of my dissappearance

update on my dissappearance.. 2-3 days after 'rombongan cik kiah' I had a very very bad diarrhoea.. I went to panel clinic first.. apparently medicine from panel clinic didn't work well on me.. I still had to run back and forth to toilet.. 1st day went to clinic nothing serious happened.. doc just gave me regular medicine.. then, I went back to the clinic for 2nd day.. the doc said I was badly dehydrated.. *memang aku tak makan/minum.. cos semuanya keluar balik* so doc decided to give me an IV fluid.. this 2nd time trip to the panel clinic, my mom had to drive me.. she was also mc that day to collect her monthly supply of medication.. cos I'm just not capable and brave enough to drive.. so she volunteered to do so.. apparently the clinic didn't has smaller pack of fluid.. so they had no choice but to injected me with a larger pack version (had no idea how many ml).. which took more than 1 hr to complete.. *mom sampai tertido2 atas kerusi.. moi also mengantuk2 atas katil tu.. dah la sejuk beku*.. first time in my life I had that experience.. *memang teruk giler*.. at night I couldn't sleep well.. *tido pon tidur2 ayam jek.. memanjang keluar masuk toilet*.. even after I took the medication and been injected with the fluid.. still there was no changes on my pain.. it was still painful in my stomach.. after that I went to non-panel clinic with also the same result.. as far as working goes.. I didn't really care any more.. *apa nak jadi pon jadilah*.. there were days when I went to clinic and got mc.. but there were also days which I couldn't really wake-up and in no mood to go out and take mc.. I took EL instead..

after a while, when mom saw moi took the same medication.. again and again.. even after I completed the course, I would go back to the clinic and asked them to refill them for me.. or simply said my condition is getting worst not getting better.. they would eventually either gave me the same supply or added new one on top of the old ones.. moi mom said this was not right.. maybe you should try different things.. she brought me to this massage thingy.. actually, she had informed me about this stuff long ago.. but I just you know.. kind of ignored her in my own way.. bcos she herself doesn't really go regularly for the treatment.. I thought I don't really have problem with my health (so far until I was getting very2 sick).. the treatment is a combination of 5-in-1 treatments.. 1)massage 2)acupressure at chi point 3)maxibustion ('bertungku') 4)Far Infra Rays 5)chiropractic.. the treatment is done on CERAGEM master bed.. you just lay down and relax yourself.. the maxibustion or 'bertungku' using this heated stones embedded inside the bed.. in this case they are using jade stone which are heated and rolled onto your body.. the reason of using jade stone is that it can give/spread more Far Infra Rays (FIR) into your body.. as for massage treatment, it will goes along the way of your back-spine.. and stomach too (during final stage you have to turn around so it can massage your stomach).. this treament is a combination of east and west.. combination of chi philosophy, acupuncture, chiropratic and so on.. it's called CERAGEM and the best part it is FREE.. and they're encourage you to come everyday.. I've been visiting this place since my days of pain and agony (about 1 month).. now, I could feel the difference.. as of to-date I feel no pain no more but I still watch out on whatever goes into my stomach.. *phobia lor*.. so that's why I even willing to sacrifice my lunch hour or even my lunch meal to go for 40 minutes treatment.. so far, they have only 4 outlets if I'm not mistaken Desa Hartamas, Cheras, Shah Alam and Sg Petani.. I think I missed one more outlet bcos they just a new one.. I even brought my sister over one day bcos her sinus problem is worst than mine.. and she said she loved it! but they only open during office hour for working days and half day on saturday.. so you better check it out!

p/s: now, I can fit into my old pants back! What a painful way to loose weight.. I'm not recommended to you all..

rombongan cik kiah

ni sebenonya cerita lama.. dekat sebulan jugak.. tapi sbb dah lama tak update blog.. cerita la jugak.. telah follow my momnya rombongan to n*lai.. weekend tu takde buat apa pon.. drpd nganga dok kat umah, moi pon ikut la.. kononnya tak nak shopping.. tapi setelah tengok barisan kain2 ela yg berderet dalam kedai.. semua org pon tergoda.. rambang mata dgn berbagai jenis kain, bunga dan warna.. moi pon bukan selalu beli kain.. baju raya semua beli dah siap.. biasalah orang terlebih rajin.. moi paling tak cerewet bab baju kurung.. lain2 mende cerewet sikit.. mak aku pon telah tergoda.. jadi kitorang telah memborong:

total kain ela yg dibeli : average 3 pasang @1 kedai (ada yg lebih dari 3)
total kedai yg disinggah : 3 (tak sanggup nak masuk semua kedai)

lepas shopping2 kat n*lai.. singgah al*manda.. aku pon confuse pegi al*manda tu buat apa.. sebenonya singgah makan and solat jek.. plannya nak ke masjid p*trajaya.. tapi sbb tak sempat.. nak pegi lawan bowling lagi kat p*ramid.. jadinya tak sempat la nak berjalan sakan kat p*trajaya nuh.. sempat la bergambar2 kat tengah panas dataran tu.. oo lupa.. main purpose of the rombongan is bowling tournament.. plannya main kat al*manda.. tp sbb bowling alley kat al*manda tu full.. fully booked by p*tronas for family day.. jadinya terpaksa la tukar ke p*ramid.. since ramai staff yg tarik diri weekend tu.. ada kenduri la itulah inilah.. yg tinggal berapa kerat jek.. itu yg moi mom ajak sekali.. budget mmg dah ada and dah dapat pon.. dah bayar pon semua.. dijalankan jugak plan tu walau tak ramai yg turut serta.. kiranya moi jadi pemain jemputan.. lawan dgn staff.. kwang kwang kwang.. lawak giler.. moi taklah terror main bowling.. sbb bukan selalu pon pegi main.. sekali sekala boleh la.. bestnya moi was the 2nd best player.. and our team was also the 2nd best.. alaa.. beza 2-3 mata jek dgn 1st one.. kalo lawan dgn opismate moi would be the 2nd last worst player.. ini nasib baik lawan ngan makcik2.. boleh la aku tunjuk terror.. tapi memang kelakar la sbb lawan dgn makcik2 yg kecoh and happening giler.. ada 1 makcik ni kata 'seumur hidup aku tak pernah main bowling'.. hehehe.. tapi saja for fun and saja suka2.. kiranya mission accomplish.. utk merapatkan hubungan sesama akhwat.. moi dapat hadiah lg tau.. so itulah ceritanya rombongan cik kiah..

*moi akan cuba menempek gambar setelah ditemui.. tungguuu*

final which is not been finalize

sorry for the silent treatment to all my loyal readers.. so very busy with work.. numerous reports due for month-end closing.. moving from very large space in 1 st floor to tiny crammed cubicle in ground floor.. honestly speaking, I just couldn't breath at this new surrounding.. temperature is freaking cold as if I'm living in Alaska during winter season.. so very open wide space.. no privacy at all! couldn't even 'mengular' or surf internet.. bosan!.. and this is kind of not final jugak.. I think our job is at stake.. not even sure if our services will be needed here.. ntah2 aku kena pindah kulim.. since locally assembled vehicle operation would be centralized there.. ntah2 satu company kena pindah kulim.. here would be HQ for motor division.. and filled with all stuck-up, phony, kiss-ass kind of people.. I just don't like this kind of culture.. simply bcos I don't know how to act around this kind of people..

maybe it's time for me to go.. do and explore different thing.. one thing about me.. I'm kind of afraid to go out there.. firstly bcos it's been a while since 'I jumped'.. secondly, afraid of not getting what I want.. afraid of being broken hearted.. hmm.. sometimes, it's hard to get what you want.. but eventually you'll get it.. that's what I believe.. from my past experience, GOD would shows the miracle way on getting what I want.. you just have to follow the right way.. not the wrong ones.. of course, it's easy to follow the wrong ones.. which probably consists of several different ways.. the right way might only consists of this ONE way.. the ONE and ONLY.. yes, it is very easy said than done.. I'd kind of experiences nervous breakdown here.. but I wouldn't want to show it to anyone.. some people think there is something interesting happened in your life.. and that kind of thing shows on yourself.. i.e. pretty face, happy.. really? I don't think you can trust that 100%.. here is the tips.. for myself, it's usually the other way around.. between sad and happy.. if I show happy face too much, there must be something bad happen to me but I kind of managed to put it aside.. but if you see me kind of sad, I'm probably happy with something.. seriously! I'm not lying.. I'm kind of scared to be over-happy bcos scared that I would crushed the next day.. things like that.. I'm afraid that I will jinxed the whole happy/sad thing.. that's why I chose to be in the middle.. mellow and show no emotion.. that's perfect.. that's why I'm stone.. bcos some people think they can simply judge ourselves from whatever emotions show outside.. I think you'd been fooled.. now I do understand why some people so curiously to get to know me in depth.. which I feel kind of bizarre.. bcos honestly, there's nothing interesting happened in my life.. just normal little things which I'm not intended to tell the whole world about them..

well, this is not what I intended to blog about.. I'll continue later on updates..
