A moment with Nelson..

Started the day early with crossing the bridge..faced the morning sun!

Got to feed the early & chirpy birds..aren't they lucky?

Admire the limestone shrubberies..

Met Mr Mattheus...the African mountain goat!

P/s: If you don't want to be smelly all day long, do not pick up or rub the goatling!

Ahh.. tranquillity - across the lake, what a perfect spot for a picnic lunch!

A hungry tiger..."What are you two looking at?" Wroarrrr!!!

..with a slim tummy!

Everybody pose nicely - thank you! *The chief trainer was holding his arm tenderly after a loving swat from baby's paw..aww*

Even if I'm only a 7-months baby, do check out my claws!

I speak English only!

A baby got to be fed with bottled-milks..

Look ma - no hands!

At least I make an effort to shake hands...

..and tired of listening to this guy..

Jejak langkah..Taman Maluri - Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras

I was in Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras - for my A-level and also first year of varsity - back in 1993-1996. JJ Taman Maluri was our hang-out place. It was an adventure by itself going to JJ from our side of Taman Shamelin Perkasa just for a spot of shopping! As a shortcut, we had to cross the river using a make-shift bridge of water pipe (with just some wooden planks)...I had to make do with packed-like-sardines Bas Mini Wilayah for getting to/fro Puduraya. This was back before the existence of the LRT! Had my first experience of being grope on the bus...euww!

Jejak langkah..Puduraya to Jalan Petaling

This is for the period of my life between Sept 1999 - Oct 2001 where I toil for 4 days a week, from before dawn to after dusk (catching the before-7am-bus & reaching home after 11pm) and got to enjoy a 3-day weekends rush back to kampung. My late ayah was so proud for the fact that I worked in St*mford Regent School of Economics...coz earlier on he thought it was a Regent Estate/Plantation in my hometown.

Who would believe it that after 10 years or so, I'm back hitting on the street (Puduraya, Petaling Street, Central Market, etc.), eating at the same restaurant downstairs in the Cahaya Suria building (though the college is no more to be found)...

Jejak Langkah..Langkawi

First time I was in Langkawi, a long, long time ago was for a day trip - an interview back in 1999. I still remember, the (comparatively) long interview completed with joined laughs we (the panel of interviewers and interviewee) had and I was so confident to be able to bag the job..

Jungle trail..

I know what I want..(part 1)

Remember the 5Cs or was it 6Cs? You know - Cash/credit, Career, Car, Condo, cute husband & last but not least, Children?

Well, I kinda have for now: cash at the end of the month from my daily slaving from dusk to dawn *in 3-months time I'll be almost debt-free*; a relatively comfortable career *let's not dwell too much on this particular statement*; my trusty old wira - MAV which survived an accident on the hi-way but not from getting scratches here & there due to my parking skill *hah!*; considering the sky-rocketing price of property in Penang I'm considered lucky enough to be able to buy a guarded apartment which will only be available for occupancy in late 2012 *well, it takes time you know to build & reach the 15th floor!*; after the recent horror of all horror i kinda develop an allergy towards the idea of getting myself subjected to the whim & fancy of a guy, or any guy, who is not even worth it so that kinda scrap away the 'origin' of my future children...

Alas...I'm not out of options yet. There is possibility of getting that love and warmth feeling from....




C. A. T. S.

Yeah, kinda lame I know but many people are doing it now...From my recent experience, they (4 almost grown kittens who lost their mother) are always ready to ambush me every time I open the door, criss-crossing in my pathway *I can be a really mean step mother- shooo!*, totally dependent on me for their sustenance etc. *no nappy-changing is required but the amount of 'smelly waste' they produced run concurrent with the amount of food they eaten which are really a lot! If only they are mine, I can train them nicely, plus weekly bathtime too! Play time is definitely fun time..all it took was a simple ribbon, or anything that move!

fb bukan tempatnya..

..untuk cari calon isteri lagi – NGERTI?
..tambah lagi loe udah punya anak dan isteri
Gw gak pernah nagih simpati.. bisa aja deh hidup sendiri!


fb bukan tempatnya untuk cari calon isteri lagi – NGERTI?
..kalau loe masih nyorok di belakang namanya isteri
Ha, kalau loe betul berani.. bawa-in aja isteri loe ke mari! *mau aja gw gocah dengan cili padi!*

fb bukan tempatnya untuk cari calon isteri lagi – NGERTI?
..jangan salah tafsir dong keramahan gw dalam merendah diri
Aiyoh Pak, usah perasan deh..gw jauh sekali daripada menaruh hati

fb bukan tempatnya untuk cari calon isteri lagi – NGERTI?
......
......
fb simply bukan tempatnya.. NGERTI?!!!@$%#^%$^&$!!!! *kalau mau gw bisa aja lapor ke kantor polisi @ sexual harassment?*

An Unholy Proposal

..the sort that I have been waiting for so long but NOT from the right person. *Uurghh!!*

What makes it so wrong?

You misinterpreted my warmth and friendliness with something else. I thought I was only closing the gap between the administrative staff and the academics. I treated you no different from the way I talked to (or eat together with) the office driver (not that I am looking down on the person and the job but the driver was of different race and married too) and others.

You dare to think that you are only wanting to help me - an unmarried (yet!) lady – before I reach 40 and become more desperate? Oh P.L.E.A.S.E…….

You make it such that the ‘blessed invite’ came from your wife? You think I’m that stupid?

You think highly of yourself – at least I dare to be open & honest *konon* - so you proposed to me during office hour at my office? I might be slow in terms of responding but... man, what you did is totally not honourable!!

You thought and did sweetened the ‘whole deal’ by offering me packet of cucur udang which I ate before the you came clean? Not that I need to worry about black magic since:

…But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew! (Holy Quran: Baqarah #102)

God, please..

I am looking for a simple guy..

..who is ‘able to respond’. (define 'responsible')

1. Was it too much to ask for a half-gentleman? At the very least, I had started the ball rolling for you..I made the first call, left a message..and all you can messaged much later was that, “Sorry2x..tengah khusyuk tengok bola?” Prftttttt!!

2. (A variation of the ‘same theme’ in fb: Prfttttttttttt!!!!)

3. Was it too much to ask for you to answer that One Single Question? After all, you did answer all the rest of my insubstantial questions. No answer is already an answer by itself, I guess..(Yes, rad who is 'always jump into conclusions..'). No need to come back looking for me the next day, as if nothing had happened, and said, “Apa cer?” Prfttttttttttt!!!!

4. Was it too much to ask for a half-sensitive decent guy? I know everyone nowadays come with emotional baggages…yes, even a metrosexual guy like you. Do you have to read too much into my statements? Maybe I need to a have a permanent sign on me, “Rad who is always putting her foot in her mouth!” Prfttttttttttt!!!!

5. And there were you, yes YOU - the one over there. Did you know that I have make peace with myself, forgive you (even if there is nothing to forgive according to your standard) deleted you from my YM (after sending you an email a long, long time ago (and no reply), thanking you for the supports & prayers so far), and think of all the goods things that may happen to you? Was it fair to me when you simply came out of the blue in YM & say, “Salam rad…” and left me waiting for 2 nights & days (spoilt my whole weekend too with needless anticipation) for your respond to a simple question, “Where are you now?” All I thought was, “Now, we can be friends…at least!” Prftttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!

Honestly, don't you bother now...I gave up!

Happy-HAPPY moments!

MasyaAllah & alhamdulillah so far....

Tragedi 30 Mei 2010

My last fb update on May 30th @8:39am:

..perfect weather for cruising on da hi-way! Current pit stop @bangi

Fb's status update on June 1st:
Dear family & friends (yg berkenaan), harap bertenang - don't want mak to worry. I'm now MAV-less & 019-phoneless post-one car accident on 30 May, before Kamunting exit. Alhamdulillah no injury either to myself (except for very minor cuts & bruises & major sengalness) or other people. Very much indebted to all my colleagues who helped with police report/wshop/insurance claim/recovery process.

What happang?

..ngantuk ke atau try to beat your time?

..ko melanggar or ko dilanggar?

..kan akak kata jgn tekan 160! take life slow and easy babe.

..since when kau merempit kereta ni?

..kalau aku, paranoid 6 bln from driving ler...

2nd June's update:

..my 019 is back in service. I'm ok really other than some neck pain (kinda whiplash injury). Rest assured that Dr (medical) said no need x-ray or anythg coz kalau melibatkan bone dari awal2 lagi..

4th June's update:

..MAV = total loss? Anybody here working with Etiqa takaful who can help me expedite the process of ethg?

I'm not proud of the above photos at all - the 'split second accident can happen' moments still running thru my mind. How can it happened to me? Me?

So, sebagai pengajaran kepada semua gangster jalanan, minah rempit, Micheal Shumacher wannabe etc. out there:

INGATLAH INSAN YANG TERSAYANG

..KELAJUAN ITU MEMBUNUH

..BIAR LAMBAT ASAL SELAMAT

..SESAL DULU PENDAPATAN, SESAL KEMUDIAN TIADA GUNANYA

"Kita pun buat salah juga. Tuhan nak menegur.....ada silap kat mana-mana. Cuba muhasabah diri..." dialog dari Nur Kasih

Alhamdulillah...

"Maka yang mana satu di antara nikmat-nikmat Tuhan kamu, yang kamu hendak dustakan (wahai umat manusia dan jin)?" Ar-Rahman

To cut short the story:

I've had an accident on 30 May, on the way back to PP. Alhamdulillah I'm ok but the car is not. Still (a long, long..) waiting for the insurance adjuster to come to the panel workshop. Whatever the outcome, then I've a long, long wait for repairs to be done - too many cars-in-waiting or being declared as total loss! Er, not much la considering 8 yrs oredi maaa...

Mamat: tgk gambor macam keta swirl ke kiri, hit something then berpusing 360 in the air, doing nose job with grass, land all 4s. the driver pakai seat belt,kalu tak pakai..lagi nahas...betui ker?

Moi: Er, lebih kurang betui la. Swerved to the left (& hit nothing) in order to avoid hitting the cars in front & on the right lane. According to the tow truck (was I lucky or what? MasyaAllah..) & taxi driver(s) behind me at that time, the car rolled over 2,3 times - down the slope - before it stopped. And yes, alhamdulillah was wearing seat belt.

Mamat: syukur selamat...maksudnya keta yg dipandu dpt markah tinggi dlm roll test n landing all 4s. bravo to proton. perkara nih boleh jadik pada sesiapa pun...thanks, lepas ni saya akan lebih beringat semasa memandu.

Ah-kak: akak tengok ni akak rasa cam nak drive 80km jer! bab roll over tu, ya Allah rad, seb baik u selamat. bab laju slow tu, now you know drive musti slow, jodoh musti laju....he he he, aminnnnn

Moi: It helped that tanah tpt landing jenis sawah & lembut - basah lepas hujan. Ya kawan2, marilah lebih berhati2 semasa memandu! Banyakkan bersabar... *peringatan utk diri sendiri* Kak, actually @my uni dah ada kajian kata 80kmph tu mmg abis efficient lah! hehehe...cumanya kenalah ada teman berborak. Hmmm...that brings second issue to mind - somebody make an appearance again after 2 months *gasp!!* Apakah?

Another friend said: ..the car boleh beli baru kan, tapi rad ada 1 je.. syukur!!

P/s 1: Yup, rad will rempit no more huhuhu..waktu accident tu kan cuma terpikir, kesian kat mak (insan tersayang) kalau saya pergi dulu..

P/s 2: The accident photos tu using my camera but were taken by the tow-truck driver. He said, kena amik pix sebelum boleh alih kereta & I told him to used my camera instead of tunggu polis/PLUS.

P/s 3: Walking to & fro ofc (& hitching rides) are more agreeable to me nowadays!!
