its the end of the year

can u believe it?

omaigod feels like 100 years havent been writing in blog. like actually write. or type, for that matter.

mashaAllah suddenly its december now huh? time flies so fast we lost track of it, drowned in the daily routines. complaints? i hv lots of them but lets just keep it inside. updates? omg there's just so much to update on. this upcoming trio wedding is really exciting and tiring (for my eyes for browsing on b2b* blogs, and other websites on essentials for wedding or rather non-essential things :p)

spending more time browsing the net as a bride to be (ehem), gives me insight that there's just so much to do (and of course to spend!) for a wedding - whether u want it to be unique - reflects urself/ personality, or if u want it to be memorable like a fairytale style or if u want it to be grand, or sweet and nice - everything is there on the internet. i guess blogger dah kaye now since most of the wedding service providers are using blogger instead of .com. . rupenye ade sgt byk blog b2bs!! tips from the b2bs blogs are also very2 helpful. omg seriously these b2bs are so rajin like ya Allah rajinnye kau lipat2 crane 1000pcs and gantung2! haha but i guess, (some) girls would always go to certain length to get what they want. anyways, on the other side, Islam specifically said that a barakah wedding is the one with least expenses. hmm i mean its quite clear on that. then again its a matter of preference and whther u have the means for it. asalkan tak membebankan ur future spouse and most importantly ur parents sudah.. ke ape?

me? haha i can never pull a grand wedding thats a given. so me n imang (n takudin) are planning to have something thats just.. nice. a wedding that brings comfort to the relatives n friends to hang around and catching up with each other, a wedding that is free of hassle (caterer n pelayan adalah wajib) and of course, a wedding that we the pengantinss will be happy and comfortable in :)

i guess im just another b2b trying to record or keep track of whatever preparation she's going thru. haha. that, or im just being a blogger. hehs.

anyways. only 1 box can be checked now: photographer ! me and imang berdarah2 mata (over) tgk2 blog2 photographer sana sini. some of them put in too much editing in their work, jadi pics nampak superficial - takmo. some other angle lawo gile but sket2 buat gamba style photo lama (kalo sikit2 takpe tapi kalo dh sume? booringg..) so,, takmo gak. and of course, there are always the one yg superb, the technique, the setting, bla3 evyrthings is nice but poket gua tak nice.. soo tak dapek la T_T. and then one fine day imang told me to checkout this newlyweds photograper. initially we memang kalo bleh nak yg mcm daniel zain -ish.. gamba cerah, cahaya cantik. speedlight dihalakan ke arah yg betul, bukan ke subject directly (ceh mcm la aku terer no phptogaphy stuff ) . so i went to this newlyweds blog and.. wahh cantik2! terus terpikat and straight away i sent them email for quotation. surprisngly their price is sgt affordable! alhamdulillah.. terus book straight away huahua dah la theyre so nice, very accomodating :)

shit. im starting to sound like other b2bs out there! oklah then, b4 i become worse, i better sleep now. a long day ahead in a few hours.

its maal hijrah yesterday. another year wiser i hope, inshaAllah. please pray for me :)

Desiderata [things desired]

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,

they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labours and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

DESIDERATA by Max Ehrmann (1872 – 1945)

nice isnt it? im at office now. am thinking of putting some nice pics. will put it when got home, inshaAllah.

a peek before eid

yesterday i bought an RM19.95 temporary work shoes! so happy :) alhamdulillah
oh but of course, got it from a cheap2 shop so nevermind the brand :p (or the quality/ comfort for that matter) hm but if this shoe behaves so well i might be wearing it for a long time :)

my old one was rosak already, one of the heels was broken, so i was in dire need to buy one. hehe alhamdulillah for the deepali sale that was stil ongoing at that shop.

it was weird eversince i came back from oz (that was very long ago it seems) i seem to be losing my appetite for shopping. haha seriously its weird. (but money stil disappearing very2 quickly i wonder why)

okla i'm at office still and tomorrow's raya haji. need to go back to work now.

seriously considering on trying the Red Velvet Recipe given by Uswah last week. hopefully can serve it tomorrow for the eid.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha ppl! (i doubt if there's any body still following me but thats fine really)

p/s: wah i seriously miss blogging. feels like im losing myself dah now :s (wat an exaggeration)

change for the better

i feel like changing or revamping my blog image.

haih. 2posts in a day when i hv many other things to do is teruk!!
get back to work!!!!!!

cey stressed ngan diri sndri. mmg psycho!

weekend finally and tomorrow work ady

phew. after 2weeks of adjusting and trying to gobble evrything at work i finally had my weekend!
i dunno where to start but my work is kinda overwhelming coz well,, i dont really know where to start! no, seriously, i dont know how, like ok now i have to do A, but boss said B is urgent but hey, C is due tomorrow so lets try to do E first cuz something gotta start sumewhere rite. so yeah WHERE to start?!! not to mention, how? haha so much for no-complaints rule after 3months of not complaining rite..

my work was kind of interesting coz its all about arbitration n arbitration is kinda interesting compared to conveyancing. haha. but my office is currently undergoing some revamping exercise , theyre like doing MAJOR changes evrywhere and now its actually the 'getting it done asap' part. so when i stepped in, its like evrything is urgent n in a very fast pace. im actually a slow-mo person id like to consider myself a sloth so that figures huh imagine a sloth masuk jungle full of swinging monkeys here and there. haha. no the sloth just dont fit in :( coz it cant :(

but hey a sloth can stil run ey? haha

well apart from managing arbitration cases to be held under/ at our centre, i also have to write papers. like research paper etc, with footnotes of references, articles no less. and.. when was the last time i wrote papers? yeah only like 3 years ago! haha so that kinda put a sloth in a mud kan, mcm sticky mud lagi susah nak bergerak haha.

anyways i was thinking, well, try to get this one paper done first, and the rest would come easier insyallah. and then i went to imang;s blog and i quote here:

in phases of flight, this is like the climb phase. the phase when you are doing the take-off. where you have to push the gear to TO/GA mode, and you'll get the throttle full. where you're gonna generate the maximum thrust in order to lift off. just so you can pass some barrier and fly to the sky.

during cruise phase, we can easily engage the auto-pilot and the auto-thrust modes. we dont need to create another momentum to keep us going. simply because we are currently going

end of quote.

so yeah, i guess this is my climb phase (of 2 weeks and still counting, my goodness!! sloth much?!). i just have to get this friggin paper done, and .. wat, more will come? hahaha. ok of course more papers on the way, well at least i know that i've done one. 100+ wouldnt hurt kan? *gulp* (please jgn dtg 3 serentak T_T)

office politics is also not a good way to motivate newcomers! like credit-stealer, etc.
Allahumma yassir, wa laa tu'assir yaa kariim..

and OF COURSE! just when im so busy of dont-know-where-to-start-ing, i BLOG! hahaaaaiihhh the usual me! pray for me, ppl! im in dire need of ur prayers!

annnd ramadhan kareem ppl. may we do our best in grabbing ramadhan deals amin insyallah :)

July 24th 2010

so ini lah dia cincin belah rotan ekk. haha

alhamdulillah things are going well since i got back (so no more complaints on msian weather (n the damage to skin haha) ye alak!) . alhamdulillah ive got a job at KLRCA (Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration) and the workplace is quite near to my house, take about 10mins to get there if the road is not crowded n it would take (i guess) up to 1 hr if its really crowded esp at peak hours. yes i think its possible. hm

the workload quite challenging (kot) from wat the soon to be dept boss described n wat the letter offer said. i hv only glanced at the offer letter since collected it from the office last friday. hehe ntah ape je kept me busy all this time. tapi mmg penat. adakah alasan 'jetlag' masih boleh diterimapakai? ahahah ye2 sile pukul saye. but lately mmg agak bz ke sana ke mari uruskan urusan2 yg alhamdulillah selesai for now. hmm insyallah will start to work on 2nd august.

alhamdulillah 'ala kulli haal..

now cant wait for july 30th: nak jumpe layth n imam suhaib webb! (on 2 diff occassion of course haha)

butterflies in stomach

ok sangat cuak.

rabbi yassir wa laa tu'assir ya kariim..

***

yeah when im in critical situation my head said: blog it! haha. eventho im running out of time now. waaa

updates on me back in msia, later okey (hehe nobody reads blogs anymore now that there's fb so yeah why rush heh.)
