alhamdulillah, i've received wat i've been waiting (and expecting) after more than full yr of service. so, to celebrate, mama n i will be flying off to Bandung for 4 days 3 nites stay. i dont really know wat's nice there but i heard it's THE place for factory outlets. nice enuff for us!. afterall bila lagi nak bawak mama pegi on a girlie2 outing. dah kawin nanti susah. never thought i'd be able to do this in my first/second yr of earning.
some frens of hers will be going too, holidays with the aunties.. wat else can make me feel more youthful!
(thx to AirAsia, now EVERYBODY can flyandtreattheirmothers -nomatterhowciputtheirearningsare)
an interesting development at the office today
over tea (we have official tea time in our company), colleagues and i were discussing about the best slimming option. somebody mentioned abt sendayu tinggi. now i dunno if this is just me or it's serious good advertising. i heard this name a couple of time from different ppl this week alone. so i went and check it out lah. very comprehensive website for a local company selling traditional medicine. soooo.... one of these days, me n frens will check it out for real and perhaps try it kot.
if there's any good, i'd be the first to tell ya!
by the way, we went to pan pac kl for papa's bday do. good spread of dim sum buffet in thai thong at around $35 per pax and i think it's quite a notorious place for it pun . got him a kingston thumb drive since i think he(/the household) need one. but of course, as expected, the kids benefit from it more lah. yeh's girl was there jugak. and abe n cho in the end came solo je. dearest never looked better on that day, spotting the shirt i chose for him and a super clean shaven face. thank u dear! and weee.. he loves dim sum. so kira contra the fact that he doesnt like sushi. adeje abt dia..
speaking of dim sum, there's this place i'd recommend to all. klang executive club chinese restaurant (it's situated next to bukit raja shopping complex). their spread is as good as pan pac's though the fried stuff are not freshly prepared like how they did in pan pac. in fact, expect to squat down n peep for your pick of those stuff which came in a trolley. fun huh? well for the price they're charging (rm 17 nett), what do u expect kan? anyway, thx hetz for the thought of treating me that scrumptious lunch. rezeki kita ada lelaki kaya nak belanja, nak buat camana.. haha ; )
well, good week so far!

papa, hang li poh & 'the gift'
thx to hetz for the pointer, i found Hang Li Poh and immediately won 2 tickets to the theatre (courtesy of www.kakiseni.com). thought of giving them to my parents for papa's bday (well i had the intention to BUY not WIN free tickets for them but rezeki..) but papa has some other plan that nite. so tak boleh and i've to get other presentla pulak (weee..i'll be going with dearest then!) well, this present thing is not a family tradition ke apa but since it's THAT one day of the year, and even zetty can come up with a decent "i love u pa" customised mug, i think i should go the extra mile to get him something.
mama actually likes the gift-exchanging idea (like xmas) and think maybe we should emulate the act someday..maybe during new yr or something. nothing to pricey, just nice little surprises for each other. and no, no xmas/new yr/raya tree for us.
actuallynya kan, i know wat's the best gift for him
but i'm afraid that's definitely not achieveable on friday
hey bilala nak kurus ni ying..
next yr pa, next yr

jolly good weekend!
it's been a good weekend so far
woke up exceptionally early to a clean room and organised wardrobe (spent the whole thursday nite cleaning and re-organising), spent an extra 15 minutes snuggling with zetty (i just love the smell of her kiddies shampoo), went for a good jog around the area, pampered beloved mr waja with a long wash n scrub (had tough time getting rid of debu collected from all over msia) and for no reason had asked mama to get some fresh flowers to match the newly changed bedspread. hmm..
for my ex house/chalet mates.. they probably know wat's gonna happen next..
cik ying nak study!
cos i'm a freak when it comes to perfect situation/environment for studying..
kena mandi dulu.. but before that i have few recommendations
1. rejoice rich
well, the rebonding effect does not appear exactly like depicted in the advert, but it does leave my hair feeling gorgeously light. it cleans well, but not squeky and dry. yet does not weigh down hair like pantene does (aka shiny but limp). light smell.. fresh, just as i like it. the best part is it's freaking cheap, ard 11.90 per 500 ml bottle, which last quite a while.
2. pill ramping cantik binari
hahaha.. yes.. i'm recommending this. it eases bowel movement but does not irritate your daily schedule (u dont risk going to toilet zillion times). i think it cleanses my system too..mcm detox, notable in my complexion after consumption(amboi!). according to the instruction, it helps regulate menses and lessen period cramps (i seldom have problem with mine so i wouldnt really know) just one point though, take lots and lots of water with this, cos it's really like jamu.. very panas, so u tend to get ulcers (sign of tak cukup air) and plus to avoid dehydration.. after dah buang a lot tu kan.. it's traditional formulation so i guess no harm there (remember nona roguy and the steroid case?)
3. stuff body scrub
bought it sbb murah sgt. about $4.70 kot per tub, maybe sbb tgh offer (i chose Chill, the orange colored one). very pleasant smell,to me at leastla. mama said it's bau 'berlemak', u know like ice-creamish, milkish plus some sweet smell of citrus...and it last a long while..even after few hours sitting with smokers in uptown. oklah, i bought it purely because of the smell. the beads are fine but serves the purposela. and the effect is also worth it, after only one application, skin feels softer and more supple. betol! cubalah.. $4.70 for such pampering...
and that's today's service to the society..
i'll be back with my version of 'My Unisense Experience..'

A NEW BEGINNING
i think i'm tired of this blog la
thought of printing all the entries.. and shut it down
lagi lama blogging, mcm lagi self centered. kadang2 bila baca balik, mcm.. e'eh.. minah ni.. mcm bagus.. haha
but today, as i was browsing jenne's fat msian girl (esp this entry) it strucked me la. i want to berkhidmat for the masyarakat (nevermind my language), for the masyarakat of the big & fat especially. and that makes me so happy. thinking abt it makes me feel so good already.
so i guess from now on, this blog will be concentrating on bigNfat issue which i encountered, as a fat msian girl myself. but if u see me deviating from the topic.. let me. cos we fat ppl do have other matters to think abt too.. rather than just the excessive fat (well, maybe that's y i'm still a fatty).
kenapa la tak pernah terpikir abt it selama ni? maybe because i've never really reached the comfy-in-my-body state yet kot, though many may beg to differ (oh u ppl dont know me!). but being here (blog)for a yr plus, i guess it's no secret to the mass that i have some weight issue. so nak malu apa lagi kan? it's not that i'm proud abt being fat. but at least i'm proud that i can admit it, connecting myself to the word fat in almost every sentence in this entry. in fact, i'm even prouder now that not only i admit it, i'm here to help 'my clan'. not that i'm trying to establish an identity for the fats and start a groupie of some sort here. i'm just here to help, just like wat jenne is doing.
oh boy oh boy.. seronoknya!
p/s : pls dont assume i'm exagerating abt my weight issue cos i seriously do have one. i'm not one of those yg ngada2 nak komplen abt that extra cm of flesh. i mean business and therefore i'm justified. (but i still i wont share my BMI and weight just to furnish my claim though.. thx)

paper chasing n me
i thought i wont blog for sometime till i really have something to blog about..
then i read pick yin's, and here i am
paper chasing. it is sick, really
back in uni years, i try not to believe that pro papers are essentials for accounting grads. in fact, i still believe so. pro papers (ACCA, CIMA, CPA) are ONLY for aspired accountants and nerds. those who wants to be accountant, will HAVE to have one of those papers. those who loves to study will always do. i think that's standard and i dont belong there.
but due to peer pressure (not mine, but papa's) i pursue CIMA. i must say i was veryvery reluctant at first. to start with, i dont like accounting, in fact i hate it. but i went for it 4 yrs ago for the 'free education' and the 'oversea' part, and that's another story. wat's the fun in seeing figures, classifying them into neat categories, debits, credits, understanding how they behave..blabla. pardon me all accounting scholars/academia, i think any other field would be more interesting.. anything, but this. .
anyhow, here i am somewhere in intermediate level of my CIMA paper. thanks to the pressure and the fact that dearest is also doing part time course (takleh tenet, baik aku study) i was a fool for a while. thinking that this will be a cool move (a denial really). so i BELONG. i'm an acc grad, pursuing my pro papers, just like almost all my other acc grad frens (sheesh i hate them). rasa bestla jugak. like i'm doing something, not JUST WORKING. making papa proud that he has a daughter like his frens. (and having something to do while dearest attend class..oh..pathetic!)
but i wasnt a fool for long (that feels great to type!)
thank God at least i'm not too numb (dumb) to blindly choose CPA since i'm an aussie grad or ACCA cos it's higher level (konon). i did some research. comparing between MBAs and pro paper, and between pros papers. i'm glad i arrive at CIMA and took the less travelled route of mgmt accounting. now i think instead of being a typical, i'm a nerd. i'm glad i decided to do it. Of course the paper would help in career advancement at some point, even in my future own business (amin) cos msia is a paperchasing nation, but that's not all. even if i didnt manage to see the end of this at least i know i'm bloody learning something.. and best thing is.. it's relavant to work..like WOW! no more studying meaningless texts. it's really learning.. it's as casual as reading magazines. now i understand why those brainies love studying so much.. it's their story book. (and i dont mean i've beocme one too)
some advert for CIMA. it's an interesting course which entails different aspect of business (acc/costing/law/IT/project/even psychology of mgmt). the texts are suitable for casual read, complete with bits of humour and some interesting case studies.
plus, i also learn true meaning of discipline, nothing like throwing the garbage when it's time, or waking up for classes by my own. it's high class time management.. haha.. balancing between job, social and the textbook. not taking any classes and not having anyone/frens to refer to for this course has made it more challenging. it's like all is up to me, me, me!
and me being me, i just love such empowerment..haha
well..it's a relief to know that i'm not in this for the end result, but really for the journey (do i sound not me?)
so, to postgraduate or not to postgraduate should really be a personal question, not to be confused with society's expectation. afterall we're all the same in His eyes and rezeki tu from Him, usaha is not just about getting another paper, right? tapi kalau pikir balik, there must be something in a huha to be a huha and from experience, it's worth to check it out.
p/s : this is dedicated to those ppl who did it for the sake of knowledge and not social standards (esp my dearest)
and to those interested in CIMA, jom ah ramai2.. mgmt acc is on the rise man! (no offence to ACCA, CPA and the likes holder/pursuer.. cos ur papers are equally respectable.. just that they dont do it for me.. hehe)

i'm back
in one piece
the trip went well , except for the JB experience. no offense to johoreans.. but i simply hate the capital la..
long story there and i dont think i want to go into it. basically my car got stucked in a banjir kilat and that caused a dent in my savings account at the moment. dahla dpt surat from jpj on my way to JB from kuantan (via segamat). it's the plate number.. they classified it as 'fancy' which really, i wasnt aware of pun..oh well.. nasib tak kena saman jelaaa..
smalam cuti, went to OU with dearest (he's also on leave).. kurasakan dunia ini kami yang punya!!
seriously, try loiterring in shopping complex on MONDAY.. (the fact that it's uniform day for my company makes this much much more interesting) .meant to buy papa's bday present. it's around the corner and mama dah plan a dinner at this fancy restaurant which papa just got to know and love so much. last year we had a massive bbq for close relatives at home. this yr it's gonna be different. papa had asked all his children to bring their partner to the dinner. and by partner, he meant bf/gf. that sends yeh, cho and abe anxious.
on the other hand, for some weird reason, dearest is soo looking fwd to buying the present.
the problem is i'm broke.. darn!
i'm thinking an album of me n papa from my babyyears to my grad day.
but that would automatically exclude dearest (we're thinking of getting something together)
and the album spells 'cheapskate' louder than 'thoughtfull' i guess..
so i'm thinking ice-cream cake and some funny boxers.. cos i know the old man loves them.. hehe
ideas?

round msia trip - almost part 2
i'm back
suppose to leave in 15 mins, got my bag packed and everything, thought nak singgah office to pick up some documents and just to leave late sikit, nak avoid the morning rush
but boss tukar plan... cheh.. hari tu dah ok kan the itenerary
now suruh tukar mcm2 pulak
anyway, be leaving again on monday
kl-kuantan-jb-melaka-pd-seremban-kl
my colleague, a mother of 3 tu dah buat muka dah
hari tu yg pegi 2 malam tu pun dia dah semacam.. homesick
the husband siap nangis2 before she left the other day.. awww...
all in all, trip was fun.. but hell tiring
i drove all the way.. which still amazed me.. esp the non-stop tapah-kangar route..
we had the best of penang, chow rasta (being that our appointment is in komtar itself) and gurney's drive food. we had the famous northern meehun sup. and we had dinner at the kedah stadium.. where dearest lepak with frens in his hometown. brought back some karas from kedah, jeruk from penang and guava from ipoh. the appointments went well.. a particular doctor of pejabat kesihatan perak really made my day. she's soooo baik and appreciative.. it made the travelling worthwhile.
after 3 days on the road, 2 nites in hotel room.. i can safely say that i'm not built for marketing n sales la. but i love the PR part.. it gives me good satisfaction knowing my clients are happy.
22 new emails and piles in the 'in' tray to clear..
