We've been attacked!

Don't get me wrong. What I meant was that my office got a visit by a whole family from Terengganu. From grandparents to their grandchildren, all gather in peace and harmony at our office lobby. What? Did I just say peace and harmony? Better take back my words. They came to claim their products and we, the junior officers at the company, had to handle brutal assaults by them. Ok, I might be a little bit exaggerating. But yes, since none of our manager's in, we were the one that had to handle every single bullet they shot on the company. Besides, CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT, eh???

Well, things did got out of control for a couple of hours and we were left there, numb and speechless by their questions and demands. Fortunately, by 2.30, they were settle down by our manager and finally I got to take my lunch.

Hmm...I never told anyone about the company that I'm working with. If someone ask, I'll only tell them the big company that's incharge. Only my closest family know. And the reason why I disclose the company that I'm working with is for security reason. I'm a blog writer and if suddenly I gave some negative views on my company, I definitely wouldn't want people to judge the company only by my opinion. I think it's unfair. So, just let it be a secret between my family and I......hahahahahah...

Anuar Zain!

Yeah! It's Sunday! I lurvveee Sunday. Hahha

Hoho...today at Astro Ria, they showed an Anuar Zain's performance which was in 2002 or 2003. Glad to say that I am so thrill to get to watch his live performance. Basically, he's a great singer but what make him stood up against other pop stars is his showmanship. His interaction with the fans. It was splendid.

Hahah..do not get me started with Anuar Zain cos I can talk about him all day long. Hahha...say whatever u want...I don't give a damn. I may not be his biggest fan but I am a fan of his. Since his first single from his first album. Even, his hari raya song with Elina, is one of my fave raya song till date. Eventhough, I did not know how he look like on that time.

The bonus that Anuar Zain has compare to other male idols is the fact that 'dia senyum senget'. If u didn't realise that, I suggest u to take a closer look at him when he perform or talk. Hahaha...

And yes, the song that actually got me glued to him was 'Jangan Bersedih Lagi'. That song was the starting moment of me being a craze fan of his voice.

Thank you so much to Yone and Ayie (both of u eh?or was it ronnie and u?I forgot lor), who bought me Anuar Zain's 2nd album for my birthday. I must say, at that time, it was the best gift someone has ever given to me. And I think it still is. Thanx again girls. U guys rock!!! LOL

Anyway, I am dedicating this song especially to u, Yone!! (jangan terkejut) and of course to all my visitors.......

Kita

Alasan demi alasan
Hidup ini memerlukan
Arah dan tujuan untuk
Terus perjuangan
Mengapa sering terjadi
Penindasan dan penghinaan
Diantara semua insan

Di dunia
Bersama kita
Menghadapi
Dugaan menimpa
Saling hormati
Dan hargai
Usaha bersama

Tunjukkan dunia
Apa gunanya oh orang kita
Jangan dipersiakan kemampuan yang ada
Kita tiada beza
Walaupun hanya sedikit masa
Dengan keyakinan pasti kitakan berjaya

I'm not feeling well

I woke up feeling sick. Err..actually I was sick. But I was so determined to go to work since I couldn't bare loosing some few bucks of my salary. The fact that I'm still new at work may also donates to the determination. It's very daunting but I tried to remain a good impression on by bosses by going to work even tho' I had to wear a sweater to sustain the cold breeze from the a/c.

Nothing interesting actually happen today. Not much work again and by evening, my fever got better. Well, that's all I guess.

Err...after one week, it doesnt seem that bad tho'

Ok...yesterday was more like hell. Today was better. I had less work to do which was pretty much shocking. I was piled with so many works lately but then today, after lunch, it seems that I had nothing to do. Even my working partner notice how different I am today compare to the days before. I laughed and giggled a lot. Maybe cos I was happy that I can finally rest and have some chit chats with my colleagues.

Oh well...see...life is not always full with miseries. Just give me some time off and I'll be a happy person again!

I Have Been Working For 1 Week Already!!!

Huh...I couldnt believe that I manage to stay in the company for one week already. Ok well, u might say Duh!!!! One week is nothing. U'll be working ur ass off for the rest of ur life!!!

Ok, that I have to agree. Whether I like it or not, I have to accept the fact that I couldnt stay as a student forever. If I hate this job, I will definitely need to encounter another working experience. And it might be worst that what I'm going through now.

Well, to start of, everything went wrong today. I've only worked for a week and things doesnt seem to go my way already. How devastating. I thought I could continue pleasing my boss with my work but my dream seems to shattered into pieces today.

I'm not quite sure what's on my mind this whole day but there's always a mistake that I would accidently do. I've been tegur by the company CEO about not answering the phone as soon as the phone rang. Ok, there's a surveillace camera in the office. Actually, not just one but a few. He noticed that I ignored the ringing phone by looking through the camera. I was suprised cos I think I never ignore the ringing phone if there was no one else there to answer. But, that time, I don't think I remember hearing the phone ringing when my colleague was not at her desk. I was completely lost. Lost in outer space, I guess.

And then, I accidently skipped numbering one voucher. Lucky my OM(Operating Manager) was kind enough to repair my mistake. And also, I miscounted the customer's bonus voucher. How silly. Maybe it's a side effect from working like crazy the night before. Hahah...just wondering...

After having some chats with my colleagues, I realised that this is not what I want to do. I was born to be something else. I mean born to work as something else. I'm beginning to think about my childhood dream. My childhood ambition. Hah, suprisingly, I wanted to be a lecturer. It was my first choice, followed by Accountant and Pilot. But look at me now, I'm a Civil Engineering Degree holder. It was never on my ambitions list. Never!

If I did not get any job as an engineer until October, I think I would continue my studies in Master. I would pursue my dream as a lecturer. Maybe that's my destiny. I have no idea on what so on. I need to find a career that suits me well. That does not give me pressure like I'm having with this job.

Even my working partner realise how stress I was today. I need to chill out but how? I could not stop working. I have 3 days to go. I still hate my job....

Oh gosh....I miss my friends even more today. I called quite a number of friends today. I never misses anyone so much. I even went to Kerinchi and Pantai Dalam today just to relax my mind. My memories flashed back like bolts of lightning. It was a touching moment. I miss Pantai Hillpark. I miss UM. There's so many sweet memories that I gained when I was in UM. It's the best moment I've been in. Better than during my high school years. I met so many wonderful friends with great experiences that I shared with each one of them. There are so many people that I want to mention here but I think u guys know who u are. It doesn't matter whether ur a girl or a guy, my coursemate, my housemate or just a friend, our memories remains. U guys are my best friends forever.......

Tired but still alive & kicking

I had to work until 11 today as u might know, it's Tuesday. It's very tiring but yet quite enjoyable. Huh? What did I just say? Enjoyable? Am I out of my mind?. Honestly, today was ok compare to the other days. There were lots of sales and the customers were pretty nice towards me. But don't think that I have changed my mind on hating this job. I haven't, ok! One day of joy doesn't mean a thing.

I miss spending my time at home. I miss kacauing Ronnie. I miss feeding my fish. I miss watching tv. I miss sleeping late at night. I miss resting my head on the sofa pillows. I miss cooking and eating my own meal. I miss everything. But what I miss more are my friends and my days as a student......I miss it soooooo much.

Another week

Ok, it's Monday and that means that back to working my ass off again. I realised how much I hate dealing with inventory and accounts. It's messing me up. No wonder I wasn't destined to study accounting in my secondary school. Even though I still remember, in the Kad 001 which is the blue card that we had to fill up during our school days, in the ambition section, Accountant was on the 2nd list. Funny to think about it. But now I know how terrible it feels to be handling the account part. No wonder, fresh degree graduates accountant gets RM2000+ as their basic salary. It's a tough job. A little mistake will cost u a lifetime!

Anyway...I still hate my job.

My Fourth Day....and counting

I bet most of u are sick with me complaining about my job every single day. Heck, if I hate it so much, why did I gatal-gatal applied & accepted it? And if I hate it so much, why didn't I just resign?

Well, the answer is simple. That is because I'm an egomaniac person who wanna prove that even I, the one who never had to go through a hard life, can survive as a so-called 'Career Woman'. Ok, maybe that reason may not be convincing enough but to tell the truth. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I would put my neighbour down since she was the one that recommended me the job. I'm afraid that people will say I'm an anak manja. I'm afraid that my manager will give me a bad testimony for my future employer. I'm afraid of everything.

Today morning I woke up feeling nauseous. Maybe cos I work too hard yesterday that my body couldnt endure. Luckily it's only half day. And what's more luckier is to have my mom cooking meal for me at home.....

My 3rd day as a "worker"

Today, I had to stay back until 10.30 pm. It was insane. Every Tuesday and Friday, we have to stay back cos the office is open from 10 am to 7 pm so that the customer could come and buy products.

I managed to stay on hold even tho' my back is starting to ache. My eyes were red and watery and I could not even stand straight. 12 hours of working is just too much for me. Call me anything u want but I'm not the type of person who would work my ass off every single minute. My operation manager is a workaholic. Even the operation executive is work-a-maniac. Every time I finish doing something, there will always be another job for me to handle and go through. It's horrible. I'm tired but I'm afraid to tell. Besides, it's my third day. I can't reveal my true feelings or reveal the devil inside me. No can do. I have to be a workaholic too.

Even my mom is worried about me working too hard. She said if my dad finds out that I'm working until the middle of the night, he would definitely disapprove my job. I actually wanted to show him that I can work my own money. I don't need to rely on him even though he could still support me even if I'm not working. I know the salary is little but at least I'll be earning my own money.

______________________________________

Oh yes, I did watched Survivor Reunion if any of u wondered. Ok, I would like to apologize to NTV7 for giving a crap to them last week. Hahah....thanx anyway.

My 2nd day of working....

Again, I'm bombarded with stuffs to type. I thought yesterday's was the only thing I need to type but unfortunately there's more.

As someone who only started working, I accepted them without any hesatation even though it wasn't actually what I was suppose to do. I did not apply for the position as a secretary. Duh...

Anyway, glad that my hard work got a compliment from Dr Jimmy. "She's very hardworking."....hahha...I only started working. Of course I will work my ass off.

I don't really like the duration of work that I had to go through. My work ended at 7 pm everyday. Waiting for the time was a silence killer. I'm tired...hungry and sleepy. Even though I start working at 10 am...it doesn't make any difference.

Anyway, it's just the second day. I'll survive another day.

My First Day of Job

Well, I came to work as requested by the General Manager which was at 10 am but unfortunately I had to wait for more than an hour for my Operation Manager to arrive.

Basically, today I only learnt about inventory and stocks.

I was only introduced to my General manager at 2.30 pm. He's a nice guy, I must say. I told him about my condition...I meant by which I might only be able to work for one or two months. Well, he understood and just asked me to work as long as I want so that I could gain experience. Of course...shucks...besides, this is my first job. He also told me that by working here...dealing with people with make me a more mature person. Suprisingly, he thought I was only 19! Hah! Got ya! I'm 23, thank you.

In the evening though, I've been bombarded with some typing for their seminar on Saturday. I love typing and since it was my first day of job, I didn't complain at all....

I got the job

Ok...I got the job even after praying so hard this morning that they wouldn't accept me. Confusing isn't it? If I didn't want the job, kenapa gatal-gatal apply? Hah...the answer is actually I wanted to feel the interviewing atmosphere. I thought that maybe I could work for a few weeks and when I get a job that match my qualification, then I would just resign. But then, yesterday at the interview, the interviewer which happens to be the accountant said that she would prefer if I could work for at least 6 months and not for a couple of months. And there I was, speechless, I neither agree or argue with her words.

And when I came back home yesterday, I was thinking to myself, what the heck did I put myself into? What was I thinking? The salary is not even close to what I should get as a degree holder. Why was I so stupid when she asked me, what was my expectation on salary basis?And all I could say was I don't actually mind on the salary. I came here to gain experience and widen my knowledge. Oh yeah...sweet talk. And now, I just have to telan whatsoever.

When my neighbour, who actually recommended me the job, called this morning and asked me to call the manager himself to confirm whether I accept the job or not, I was actually reluctant. I had to told her the truth. So, she advised me to ask the manager himself whether I could just work for a short period of time incase I got a better offer and more connected to what I had studied.

So, there I was, calling the manager and told him what I actually wanted. Err...I didnt tell him bout the salary though. He said he doesnt mind if I wanted to gain experience even if that means that I would only be able to work for a couple of weeks or months.

So, I accepted the job and will be starting my very first job tomorrow......oh my goodness, I don't know what to expect. Am I gonna be accepted by other colleagues? Where am I gonna have my lunch? With who? Will I be able to perform well? There's so many questions in my head...I hope I'll survive my first day of work tomorrow....

My First Job Interview

I'm having butterflies in my stomach. This is gonna be in the history of my life. My very first job interview. Err...even though this job is not actually related to my qualification but wahey...I could use some money. I do still have doubts that I'll be getting the work even though my neighbour was the one who recommended it to me, just yesterday evening.

It's insane, I must tell since the job is more into bussines and marketing and I'm an engineering graduate. What's more insane is that the company does not even ask for a resume first. So, basicaly it's a walk-in interview.A part of me wanted the job but the other half is quite worry that suddenly after a few days working, I might get a job as a civil engineer. I definitely will resign is I got my desired job but it'll feel horrible to resign after working a few days.

Oh well...let it be then. This is gonna be my first job interview so better gain experience with it since I was never employed even as I was waiting for my SPM result...hahah...

Anyway, good luck to me!!!!!!!

The Devil's Out

I wish u'll be burn in h**l, u stupid internet worm creater!!!

I can't take it anymore. This internet bug is getting on my nerves. I have to format this computer ASAP but the problem is that the original Window CD is with Apai. Urghh...I knew I shouldn't give to him. Now I'm in trouble and there's nothing that I can do unless I get the CD back. Oh yeah...another problem is that I don't know how to format this laptop. Great...just great! Things couldn't get "better".

We do have two personal computer but the problem with it is that the modem is broken. U just can't ask for more eh! I'm in need in internet connection so bad cos it's the only source where I can find jobs and apply to it easily.

Survivor Finale...but where's the Reunion???

Oh yeah, did any of u watch Survivor Finale yesterday? Ok, I confess that I knew the result last monday from cbs website but I can't believe NTV7 did not show the reunion part where Survivors discusses their issues during the game. That's like bull****. How can they show every single episode of Survivor and actually leave the main highlights of the show which is the Survivor Reunion? Ok...Amber won but I wanna hear what others have to say. I wanna see how Jerri stepped out from the conversation and what Ethan has to say bout his relationship with Jenna M. How dissapointing when we were not even shown the glimps of other all-stars survivor. If this is what NTV7 called as "Saluran Ceria Anda", I would definitely recommend that they think again in having such slogan. Hah...I'm not ceria and I could bet there are others survivor fans who would agree with me too. Maybe they thought that nobody would care but wahey...if u don't want to show it, u should've give Astro the privilage to show it.

You know what, I'm wasting my time complaining on such thing. Even though, I'm furiously mad, deep down inside, I do hope that they would consider in showing the Survivor reunion episode next week.

My aunt & family came to town

Suprise..suprise...a visit without any call. Heck yeah....we were in a shocked! They never come to our house without calling but last night they thought of giving us the suprise of our life!(ok...I was exaggerating a bit). The house was a complete mess. I didn't have time to vacuum it yestersay morning or yesterday morning or yesterday morning cos of my lazyness and my unsteady mood. The rugs are covered with cats hair. There are folded and unfolded clothes on the sofa and also some bills stacking on the table. It was a nightmare. We did somehow manage to clear the stuff up while my aunt was calling us from outside. Hahah...nice trick but I think they did figured it out as they could see us running like crazy from 'celah-celah' curtain. It was very embarrasing though but I kept on my cool.

But on the bright sight, they did not complain on anything. Instead they brought us bags of foods. U name it. From laksa, mee bandung, mee kari, pulut kuning, nasi tomato, nasi lemak, karipap, ketayap to even kuih melaka. They said those are leftovers from their sale that day. It was raining heavily in the evening that the number of customers had declined. Oh gosh...food galore. I just don't know how the two of us are gonna finish all that today cos I bet the food has to be consume ASAP or nanti basi.

Ok...I'm off to do some household cleaning. U can bet that the floor will be squeky clean. Hahah...and if anymore is thinking of visiting us after this....BRING IT ON!!!!

Let's cut it short

I know I was being too emotional yesterday. Guess that I woke up on the wrong side of my bed. I had sleepless night for several days and maybe that also contribute to my grumpiness yesterday. And another major problem that had to do with my bad mood was because the stupid damn worm that has infected my laptop. Urrghhh...I'm so mad!

Today I feel like a new person all over again. Yeah...I woke on the right side of my bed as u might wanna say it. In the morning, I surfed the internet and starts collecting addresses and applying jobs online. Thanks to a friend of mine who gave me useful tips on pursuing my career. Alhamdulillah, God did answer my prayer as I was complaining about no one there who can really guide me in finding the right job. Alhamdulillah and thanx to you, my friend.

Anyway, seems that I will be continuing blogging. I just need to get a grip when facing problems in my life cos that's part of being a human being.

Again...whatever....

Yesterday, I was thinking of stopping blogging. I think there's no fun blogging anymore when u couldn't express ur actual feeling since u know that there are friends of urs that might bump into ur site and read it. But I know I will regret it someday, so that's why I decided to cancel my plan.

I'm actually mad at someone but I couldn't tell who or why. I somehow need to get it off my chest my definitely not on this blog. I may sound mean to hate someone but the more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel. Guess that u couldn't like and cherish every friends that u have.

Another more thing that annoyed is this guy who those not understand that I have no interest in him. So stop bugging me! Again, I may sound like a jerk but I couldn't fake my feelings when I converse with him. I know I should've pretend but pretending does not make things better. I just hope that someday he'll understand that there's definitely NO chemistry between us so leave me alone! U'll realise that someday, u'll find someone better and nicer than I am. U sure don't know me well!

Enough with all this hatred. I better go somewhere to clear my mind.

Whatever....

I don't really like this new "blogger". I prefer the old one. Much more user friendly. I don't know why they decided to change the style. But then, who am I to complain such thing.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm in the stage of being soo damn bored and lazy. Lazy to edit my cover letter and send my resumes. Lazy to do anything. If I keep being like this, I'll definitely be the most successful grape farmer (unemployed if u don't understand what I mean). I think the main problem is that I have no one to encourage me to find my dream job. And there's no one to tell me how to apply for this kind or that kind of job and whether it's suitable for me or not. Usually my dad will give advices on my career path but I guess that's why they say that being a grown up definitely put ur responsibility and independency on ur own shoulder. U make every decisions cos it's ur life. U drive through ur own road. Well, that's life and this is actually the beginning of what I'm about to face in this world full of obstacles.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Last night we finally bathed Ronnie after a month being stinky. LOL. He really needed it. Finally after so many months, he finally meowed! Ronnie is a quite cat. He does not meow even when he's hungry. So, hearing him meow to get out from the bathroom is like music to my ears. LOL. So...today Ronnie is again a fresh cat! Ahah...today is Ciko turns! Let's see how many scracthes will my sister get this time.

When Jerry told me about the virus attack when u open Friendster, I was being skeptikal. I thought viruses only attacks when u receive something. But today, I believe him totally. My computer when bizzark. Pop-ups coming out like crazy. I couldn't type on my keyboard properly and some pages started to hang. And it happened after I log into Friendster. My computer was ok before that. So, maybe next time, if I'm thinking of logging into Friendster, that should be the last address that I would go before I disconnect my internet connection. The virus is still minor but hopefully there won't be any major damage towards my computer....

My Friends??

Have any of u heard of My Friends Cafe located in Setapak? Hah...I only knew about it yesterday. The place is actually under thr.fm (sponsorship or something...I have no idea since I don't listen to that radio station though).

The atmosphere at My Friends is pretty interesting...as I would call it since I don't go out that much. There's a live music which I meant by people karaoke-ing. What caught my attention is actually the variety of stalls there. U can get anything from Mee Udang Penang to Western Food. I can't guarantee that all the food would taste delicious but it's worth a try. The waiter and waitress wears orange t-shirt and they are indeed fast in taking orders.

If u ask me whether I'll be going there again. The answer might be yes and no. Yes-because it's a nice place to hang ut with your friends and u love variety in food. No-because the price is quite high and I don't think I remember how to get there again. I even got lost on my way back. LOL

Well...going out is better than spending my days at home. It can get pretty boring when ur at home way too long....

New stuff

I'm still pissed with my internet connection...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Anywayz, I got a new watch by applying to Citibank Credit Card. I always wanted a new watch since my old one has been slobbed with no..not saliva but with bitumen mixes when I did my thesis. I don't normally wear girly watch, but since I got this for free, I think it would be lovely to wear it to work. So, here's my new watch. I took the picture using my sister new nokia camera phone which I have no idea what model it is.

While this is the new fish tank. This time, my dad bought a plastic tank instead of a glass one like last time. Oh yeah...if u look carefully, u might notice there are a few of new fish.Yes, there is an addition of fish. My dad bought 9 new fish. So, altogether there's 11 fish. Hah...I thought I was the one who was going to buy a new tank and new fish. Hahah... Anyway, Tom and Enrique seems to enjoy their new company. So, let it be. I'm just happy seeing that the fish are having more space to move around and thank god that Tom finally managed to pull out from death when he was once at the stage of nyawa-nyawa ikan. Oh yeah...acually the new tank and fish was bought on the first of May.

Stupid spam!

Arrghhh! It happened once (errr....I don't think so) and it happens again. For gooodness sake, I hate spam! I hate pop-ups but it seems day by day my internet get to many visits from those nerve-wrecking pop-ups! It's definitely driving me insane. Not just when I logged on the internet, those stupid spams also invades my emails! I get nearly 100 bulk mails containing spams in one day!!!! Damn, it's driving me nuts! I hate those a$*h0l^....I couldnt surf in peace cos less than 2 minutes I'm on those net, those annoying pop-ups would appear without any mercy! I even have trouble typing this entry!!!!

I'm totally annoyed. I'm logging off. STUPID!

Something about my blog

Errr...when I first decided to start my online journal, I never thought of the concequnces that I might face by revealing my thoughts or daylife chores. It was funny to think about how an unknown blog like mine would be easily read by my friends and colleaques even without having the trouble to promote it. I must say that that's the beauty of internet. You could find anything you want in just a matter of a click on your mouse.

To date, my friends who has been secretly reading my blog which they had found out by accident, one by one has revealed themselves and thought about the embarresment they had to bare by telling me. What do they meant by their embarresment?? Hello???I was the one scribbling out on how miserable or how wonderful my life was and if there was such embarresment to be handle by, it should ME! Yes, I do find it embarrasing if people that I know in flesh read what I've written in this blog. But that, without no doubt is actually the biggest consequence that I have to face by having a public online journal.

Even though it's a blog, it does not contain breaking news happening in the world. In fact, it contain breaking news that happen in my life. It's more like an online diary or journal. Me-just an ordinary person; not even famous; don't even have a single fan. I bet people will be bombarding me with questions on if I don't want people to read my blog, why did I make it public? The answer is that; I didnt meant that nobody have the rights to read my blog. What I meant was that, I do appreaciate other people visiting my blog and reading my so-called-boring life and I do appreciate my closest friends to keep up with the latest news happening in my life. But I do found it very...I mean VERY...EMBARRASING when my other friends especially from my high school reads it. Cos yes, as stated as my title, those who read my journal, finally found out that They thought they know me well...but they don't.

And that's also the reason why I never like blind date. I think it's scary to meet someone you don't even know well. Someone who you just knew from the net and deffo u couldn't put your trust on. You just don't know if they are true to you or just faking it. U couldn't see their face expression. Their body language. Nadaa.

Oh well, I can't blame anyone can I? It was I who started everything and I must face whatever the outcome may be....

So, if u, who are reading, happen to know me in real life...go ahead....read on....maybe my life experience will somehow be something that will come in handy someday....

Something about friendster

This is something I got from my Friendster message board. I found it rather interesting and would love to share it with my readers who are friendster user. I bet they would agree on this reality ordeal.

Hello. I'm Dia and I'm a Friendster-holic.
I've been a member since Jun 2003 (apparently!)
I tried so many times to quit but somehow I
still can't find the willpower to just stop! I
managed to get through 5 days without login on
to Friendster but I knew I was just fighting
the 'emptiness' I felt inside during those days.

Finally, I gave in (yet again!), to the power of
Friendster. With itchy fingers, I logged on,
waited for the longest minute of my life and
they asked me to log on again! I did as much as
sighed and logged on again. Finally, I could
view my profile after 5 days! And with a glee of
excitement, I saw "3 new friends
confirmation", "6 new messages" and "2 new
testimonials"!

Sounds familiar? I am sure that like me, many of
you out there suffer the same fate or shall we
say, addiction, as I do! There's just something
about Friendster which makes you feel that you
just have to log on even though it may take
ages, or sometimes you cannot even view your own
messages or sometimes you can't even view your
own friends! But when you log on and there are
messages or testimonials or new friends waiting
for your confirmation, somehow it just makes
your day. Why is that so? Good question! One
which I have yet an answer for.

Sometimes it's a laugh reading other people's
profiles. Some created it for their own
amusement and I'm sure for us too ? I've read
some profile, and under occupation it read :
pornstar or dangdut dancer!

It seems that in Friendster, there's also a
race. A race to see how many friends you have
and how many friends your friends have! Ok,
what's up with that? So what if you have 300
friends! It's not like you'll get a trip to
somewhere or a platinum card, right? (That line
was actually taken from a friend of a friend's
profile, by the way. I quoted it because there
was a lot of truth to it!). It is just to tell
people that you have that many friends and I am
sure, at least 30 or 40% of them, you don't even
know! You just add them for the sake of
multiplying your quantity of friends. Right?

Testimonials. It's just a way for people to
somehow 'shine' by asking their friends to
butter them up so that they can butter their
friends by writing a yummylicious testy (as it's
called in Friendster language) for them. In a
way, testimonials are just like the saying, "you
scratch my back and I'll scratch yours".

Even with the parody of Friendster, the likes of
myspace and Malaysian version of Friendster,
kawanster, people still stick with Friendster!
It's like a 'cyber drug' that you can't get
enough of. Even when it's nearly always lagging,
and the difficulty you have to go through just
to check your profile, or upload your pictures,
or check your friends, people still keep login
on to Friendster.

That is the mystery of it all,
why do people still login on to Friendster? I
guess, There's Something About Friendster.

p/s- Hmmm...I wonder if the Friendster people had put some sort of spell on some of the users so that we are under trance when we surf the Friendster website. Unfortunately it included me, myself!

Kenduri di rumah Fath

Memandangkan reunion sekolah aku kat penang terpaksa ditangguhkan, akhirnya dapat juga aku ke kenduri umah Fath kat Taman Sri Serdang. Tapi, bukan dia yang kawin, kakak dia.

Kali nih, memandangkan kengkawan lain dah balik bercuti di kampung (mementang la cuti banyak hari), aku gi kenduri ngan Zeti jek. Asik-asik ngan Zeti ek??? Takde orang lain dah ke ah??? (jgn marah Zeti ek....lawak jek)....

Tak sangka nak gi kenduri kakak fath tuh, leh gi duduk lama-lama lak. Dekat 2 jam. Orang lain, yang tinggal sedara mara, kami nih, tak malu dok bertenggek lagi. Kalau kuih muih yang sedara mara diaorang dapat, kami pon dapat makan sekali. Hahah....muka tebal tul...

Tapi ingat-ingat balik, memang kami suka lepak umah orang lelama...saja bagi meriah sket umah tuh. Tak kira la, gi umah Amy ke, umah Ros ke...lama jek duduk borak-borak. Cam dah lama tak jumpa. Padahal, sekelas lak tuh.Nampak sangat la, time kelas, sibuk pay attention (konon), tak sempat nak berborak.

Tapi lawalah kakak Fath lepas diandam...lain betul rupa. Cam model pun ada. Nampaknya kalau aku kawin, kena amik mak andam dia juga ler.....(cheh, perasan. Calon pon takde...booohooo).....hehehhe

A Very Looonnngggg Journey...

Ramai yang bertanya, selamat ke aku di Songkla dengan keadaan huru-hara di Selatan Thailand tuh? Alhamdulillah, selamat....selamat dah sampai ke KL kul 1 pagi semalam. Lagipun, tempat yang berlaku huru hara tuh agak jauh dari Songkla. So, setakat nih, alhamdulillah...takde apa-apa.

Oh yek, semalam selepas 8 jam perjalanan dari Alor Setar, baru sampai KL. Lama betul. Dah kebas-kebas kaki aku duduk dalam bas tuh. Tak sangka begitu teruk sekali jammed kat KL malam semalam. Daripada bulatan dekat dataran merdeka tuh nak ke stesen Puduraya pun dah memakan masa sejam. Giler betul...

Sebelum tuh, sebelum sampai Sg. Buluh, ada road block yang dibuat oleh pihak imigresen dengan JPJ. Dah semua penumpang bas kena diperiksa I/C lak. Ramai betul pihak yang terlibat dengan operasi tuh. Ada gak Jabatan Alam Sekitar, BPR, Polis...TV3 pun ada. Kalau yang perasan, time TV3 interview ntah sapa ntah, ada nampak sket bas yang aku naik tuh...heheh....kena tahan dekat situ pun dekat setengah jam. Memang haru biru tul.

Tak sangka la perjalanan selama 8 jam tuh sungguh menyeksakan. Teringat lak semasa takde lagi Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan, terpaksa ikut jalan kampung. Memang 8 jam la baru nak sampai kampung. Kalau berenti semayang ngan makan pun, ntah kat mana-mana. Bila lalu kat jalan bengkang-bengkok kat Selama tuh, semua orang dah mual-mual....huh....nasib baik la dah ada lebuhraya U-S tuh....memang memudahkan perjalanan....
