EXTREMELY PLEASSSSSEEED.....
super duper proud of myself... not bcoz of my 3rd position placing.. but bcoz of the very unexpected review of my performance by the ah-hem.. judges.. but of course.. i shall not use my blogspot as a platform to gloat abt it... later ppl meluat, you!.. hheehehhe... let it be etched in my memory like forever.... hehehhehe....

Anyways, there's one participant (let's call this person 'it') in particular which we (Tee, Quirky, and myself) were all waiting for!... and the wait was well.... how do i put it nicely?... errrrmmmm.... entertaining and a tad too scary!... i believed that 'it' sang from the bottom of 'it's' heart.. however.. maybe bcoz it was sang tooo deep - toooo emotional - it literally shook 'it' to the core till we thought that 'it' may juz be having fits!... if i could be rude, i could have well be laffing my guts out, having stitches till the end of the competition!.. hahahhaha... but of course.. me not so rude lah... me maintain as much as i can!... till now........... ;)

so, here it is, the top 3 winners... though i wasn't too happy with the results.. (and am definitely getting a copy of the video of his performance just to justify his winning!.. hahahha...) *gasps! seriously didn't think i'd actually say this out loud!* - i would think that the 2nd place winner deserves the 1st placing.. but howell... ;) congratulations, peeps!!!!!...

i hope the 1st place winner go practice, practice and practice his song before next week!... won't want the thousand over ppl to see that that is our 1st place standard!.. ;) *slaps face!*

to my dearest, dearest supporters - Ms Quirky, B, Tee, Baby and Boss! - THANK YOU for being there to support.. and to the rest, who gave me some much needed moral support, THANK YOU to you too!... love u peeps!... looks like can only belanja prata lah.. cannot belanja McDonalds breakfast liao!.. hahhahha...

Must put up picture of my Boss!.. hehehe.. soooo touched he actually came down to support his 2 staffs who took part!.. and then kena sabo himself!.. ahhahaha...

HAPPY BERFDAY!!!!.....

to my dearest, dearest, girlfriend - RosmAman!....

happy birthday my dear!.... may you be blessed with all the good fortune, health and love to last you a lifetime!...

so when can we meet up again, eh?.. hahahhaa....

SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU!
to my cuzzin, Rumiza and husband, Halim..

the weekend was spent at her wedding - from nikah, to dinner to a whole-day reception yesterday... ooooh!.. it was tiring - though i wasn't really doing anything much!.. hehehehe.. was actually juz standing around, under a shady tree.. but the weather's still too hot and the breeze come and go as it pleases.. leaving us all sweaty and feelin very lethargic!!..

this coming weekend, there's one more to go... another whole day affair on sunday, i think!... i know dearest is joining dad and bro to help out early morning!... poor him!... got asked by future mom-in-law cannot say no, rite??.. hahhahaa... but all in all, it was a pleasant affair!.. filled with much fun with Hisham and son, Elyas' funny antics!.. and that i met up with a long-lost-cuzzin cum primary school mate!... updated me with an info on my long-lost-childhood sweetheart!... ;) i couldn't believe who his ex was!...

oh! and apparently, dad's friends or relatives whom i think we din intend to put their names in our guest list, found out that I'm getting married. Even know the date of the nikah and reception!... oh dear!.... now, we have to invite them!... and we can't escape because two weeks before my wedding, my cuzzin is getting married and the whole kampung will be there!.. (as seen during his sister's wedding!).. so now, we need a change of plans to accommodate these extra people.. hmmmm... another change of plans?!.. urrrrghh!... juz when i tot everything is falling into place!... bleagh!...

MENTAL CASES...
there's someone here who's going thru some sort of a transition to becoming a nutcase... and i really dun understand Y?!!... do i NOT have compassion for this guy?... errrrrr.....

but really... having to deal with 1 last year was oredi bad enuff... having to deal with another.. am i suay or am i suay?!.... oh dear god!.... let's call this person MC... this MC has been on MC for the past month... have been to the IMH for a week.. been sent back home, in the care of an assumingly, caring family, been taking regular dosage of wateva drugs tat doc has given... but apparently, it's still not working... and now, the place is lack of 1 staff and as per last year's incident, it's certainly not fair to some ppl who are covering lor...

I mean, i'm not trying to be unsympathetic or anything!... MC is oredi a "lost case" before getting transferred here... now this!... how can I believe that MC is actually going thru a depression or a stressful period, when even before this happen, MC was oredi doing limited work?... brrrrr....

Oh!.. and then, we figured that we're gonna have another nutcase soooooon, i tell ya!... this place is getting crazier by the day!.... this other person has shown all the signs... and it's sooooo scary to talk to this person anymore!.. u wouldn't know when ur words would be twisted and when this person would burst out crying; from misinterpreting what you said!... alamak! that was an episode, i will NOT forget!... oh!.... and this person will definitely turn into hellava nutcase if this person don't change!.... sooooon, the "frenz" will abandon and avoid, leaving this person all alone in a miserable, lonely bubble, this person call "home"!.. to make a story short - how can anyone be such a hypocrite?.. or such a 2-headed snake??.. i juz dun geddit!... it's miserable enough that the world is turning into such a sorrowful place.. and YOU have to further spoil it by your uncharacteristic behaviour! it's juz oh-so-annoying!..

i guess i won't really know how depressed one can be until i actually go thru it one day - CHOY!!.. but then again, if one is acting really normal and all, how can a doctor diagnose him/her to be a mental case when for all you know, he/she can be juz putting on an act??.... anyone care to share??...

77th Month ..

oooooh... didn't realise that we've been together for that long!...

HAIRY MOMENTS WITH B & Ms QUIRKY
Had such a whale of a time with the 2 at JasonSally last nite!... ;) everyone was pampered!.. but extreme Ms Quirky did a mini make-over, thanks to B's and my choice of hair and of course! Jason's handy work at cutting her hair and giving her a very, very nice colour and hilite!..

Lao Pan Niang of the shop get into the mood with us when she also agreed that Ms Quirky should be wearing a skirt and start getting more feminine... hahhahaha... that was such a blast!.. teasing Quirk abt her "hunky man of the moment"...

Anyways, here's what went on behind the scenes..

Quirk, before the hilites!..

B just came in.. and i think we were laffing at something that Quirk did..

going for the hilites now.. but first, Ms Quirky had to be dressed like a large Baby!!....

while B behaves pampered and like a tai-tai under that steam machine!

while me.. posing lah duuuuh!.. finished mine way, way earlier than the 2!..

and this was Ms Quirk last nite with the hair soooo nicely done!.. but of course, her notti, notti way of sleeping could not maintain the look till the morning!.. oh!.. btw, that's her "hunky man of the moment" i mentioned earlier!..

For a girl who looked very reserved and not a party animal, i must say, dear Ms Quirky is very adventurous!... such a Sagitarius trait!.. she's got 3 looks in less than a year!.. howell!.. cannot blame lah!... she's got all that *bling! bling!* to spend mah!...

So, anyone interested to get to know the adventurous, quirky and certainly inquisitive Ms Quirky?.. Shortlisted candidates will be determined with the shoes he chooses for her.. :)

POUTING QUIRK..
We went for our "Appreciation Dinner" last nite.. and met a few volunteers, some working staff at airport whom we've not met for awhile.. and some whom we kinda tend to avoid.. *wink!wink!* OooooH!.. surprisingly, our re-elected President Nathan was there as well!... and Rosma!.. if only u were there!... Rahimah Rahim was there.. wanted to take pic with her!!.. but very malu leh!... hehehhee.. Babes was also there!... brrrrr.... and my new interest in entertainment - Ghani!...

Anyways, we went out of the office earlier than the rest to do some walking abt before heading for the dinner.. actually - big mistake!... coz it was a stand-up dinner!.. and so, for that 2hrs or so, we were actually walking, standing, walking and standing!... i actually had cramps on my toes.. i think probably due to my new heels!!... and it doesn't help that the strap keep coming out! - strappy shoes!.... :P and it also doesn't help that i'm using this as one of my wedding shoes for the shoot and most probably real day!.. i may actually need to do warm-ups of the toes before slipping it on next time!!...

oh!.. anyways, back to my story.. was walking around.. ogling at the nice dresses at Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins and contemplating to buy a skirt.. B and me were ooooohing and aaaahing all along.. but Ms Quirk was sulking, i think, coz she was juz walking around, following us in a daze!.. ahhaa.. BUT alas!.. she saw something she really, really like and went straight into it.. leaving me and B bored..

but u're actually never too bored with Ms Quirky around!... she keeps u entertained with her quirky self!.. but of course, u'll never understand lest u're with her to experience first hand her quirkiness! ;)

Ms Quirky excited over this piece of equipment, claiming that she needs this more even though - mind u! - she already has an X-Box and PS2 idling around at home! Not forgetting her scores and scores of DVDs and TV shows to watch!...

Ms Quirky eagerly trying to win the game, sounding her own ooooohs and aaaahs.. while B (and actually myself behind the cam) gleefully laffing at her antics trying to win the game!...

and alas!... who can forget that look of disappointment - that pout! - when she lost the game!.... priceless!... and unforgettable, Quirk!.. :)

SOMETHING BROKE!
Gosh!.. On the way home with Ms Quirky, guess wat broke??.....

is it me?.. or is it me?!

Yes!.. of all things, my heel!... it was soooo pretty embarassing... this is my first time my heels actually broke - in two!... and it's only on one side... so, i had to deliberately walk a tad slower than usual just so i'm not seen limping!

now... really, i'm wondering!... so far, in less than say, 3mths?... i've broken 2 things - in two!.. oooooh!... is it really my weight factor??.... i can't help thinking!... yes.. i'm back to square 1!.. after losing all that fats last year.. and being complacent - thinking that i can freakin maintain that weight, i started to eat.. and eat.. bleagh!!....

I read in Cosmo, Aug issue abt achieving that sexy weight!... with my height, i'm supposed to be under 61kg!... eerrrr.. like DUUUUH!.. i doubt i can ever attain that!.. anyways, that's juz not rite!.. i dun wish to be stick thin like a supermodel!!.. i juz wish to be me - the huggable, fleshy me!.. i'd rather be voluptuous and fully endowed than straight like a washboard all over!..

- Dr Linda Papadopoulos, Cosmo's body image expert

but of course, my current weight is ridiculous!.. i know what's my sexy weight and i wanna achieve that sexy weight in 1mths' time!... Ms Quirky, dun think that i'm not trying.. i AM k!.. heheheh.... u juz dun have to see wat i'm doing!.. kekeekek...

Anyways, back to my shoes.. i really love those shoes and while walking home, looking down at my feet, i would actually like to turn the heels to kitty heels!.. can or not?.. anyone knows where i can do them??

Before i end off this entry.. i juz have to say that i simply lurrrrving every moment of Taufik's acting and his role in Shooting Stars!.. he made me teared last nite.. he's such a sucker for being soooo freakin irresistable with that puppy eyes of his!... i know some may disagree with my comments on his acting skills.. but like I care!... :P he's still my OXIANG!

BEING CYNICAL OR CRITICAL? OR JUST OL' PLAIN ME..
Disclaimer: now.. before you start reading this entry... i apologise if some of wat's gonna be said is overly critical or judgemental and even bitchy... dun mean to be rude or anything like that but i just have to say what's needed to be said! i can't help myself!.. bleagh!... if you think u won't be able to swallow my very honest, from the heart remarks - esp for fellow contestants of Anugerah 05 and it's supporters, i suggest, u blog-hop outta here!.. ciao!

Not too sure why i don't have the urge to watch Anugerah faithfully this year unlike previous years... but manage to catch it last nite though and damn!.. i've got a few things to say!... was feeling a tad more bitchy last nite.. and juz had to comment on every little thing..

1. how come the guys this year look sooooo like budak2 gangster like tat?... very tak menjanjikan - the look and style is oh-so-wrong!..

2. the judges looked pretty rowdy last nite... must really be having a whale of a time or probably an overdose of wannabe singers, perhaps?.. i cannot forget that "Suara Jantan!" remark... like errrr????????

3. i heard that Hafiz has been criticised over those text messaging for being very critical and over, delivering his remarks bcoz he was always seemed to criticising contestants over their style and look - like helloooooo?... ppl!... maybe that's what he is for?... 2 judges are oredi judging their singing abilities.. they need 1 to comment on the contestant's style and image - which is juz as important as their singing capabilities!..

4. overall i like the second half better than the first half but most of the first half got through.. like i said, maybe the judges had an overdose of something.. they seemed to like the fast songs better than the slow ones.. but errrr... half the time i was laughing at them!.. get the picture?

5. contestants.. contestants.. boy do i have alot to say abt the "few" of them!..
#03 - very over confident though for her age (i would think she's quite young judging by her look), she was pretty daring to be dancing (or more like prancing around) like tat!... BUT too bad, adik looked very obit!.... maap cakap.. i juz dun get that fashion sense!
#06 - unique voice i must say.. but i feel very tired watching her open close her mouth while singing.. she's like drawling or stretching her mouth in a very twisted, slow-motion style.. hmmm....
#07 - i kind of feel a bit irk when i see guys shave their eyebrows.. i know taufik most likely did.. and i lurve his eye-brows - subtly shaven.. but this guy's looked like it got shaved a bit too much and a bit salah too!.. almost like a girl's eye-brow (coz normally, guys would have quite a bit of eye-brow, don't they?).. but bro, if that's au natural - kalah pompuan u!... bless u for having nice eye-brows.. but the song a bit salah ah bro! - like tak kena gitu!.
#09 - the Ning wannabe.. can i say that? she actually did good.. no have good voice control but i'd say she definitely beat Ning with that song! but choice of song also over ambitious lah dek.. next time choose song less dramatic k?.. ;)
#10 - Mat #10 nie surprisingly good!... Look/Style very deceiving - rupanye perasaan mat-mat jugak..! sungguh ku tak jangka!..
#11 - not the eyes and the beret, brudder!.. u actually look like pakcik2 action muda, nak gi batam!.. ouch!
#12 - u dun look 17 but there's potential in your voice.. i dun understand why the judges dun see that, when they actually said it out loud!... bleaggh!.. anyways, again, choice of song girl.. too safe - sounded like very lazy singing.. maybe that's y!.. but do try again once u've gotten together your fashion sense (this came from hearing the remarks of the judges, eh!.. based on yesterday's fashion not bad but weird for a singing competition! but at least tak se-obit #03.. but i shall not think how's her fashion sense before since the judges said "your fashion has improved a lot!".. hmmmmm...) and work on that vocal chords!.. go girl!...

6. Y oh Y was the guest artist - norazela - not singing live yesterday?.... she was an Anugerah contestant so she HAS to be able to sing live isn't it?... it was a "live" performance anyway!... though not a "live telecast" - y eh?... btw?... it would be more exciting having it telecast LIVE wouldn't it??.... it IS a local production!...

so there!... results were obviously disappointing *see point 4*.. at least 3 who made it should not be in!.... but howell!... the judges' decision is final and it's really rezeki masing2.. hopefully, they'll do better in the next round - juz to de-prove my points above!... ;) good luck peepz!..

The Maid
Scream! Shout! Jump! Cover your face if you must! All these, i did when i watched The Maid yesterday!... Had the nerve to watch midnite with dearest and then, we got scared out of our wits!.. Thank god didn't manage to catch this with RosmAman the other day!.. can't imagine having to hug her when i got scared!.. hahaha!..

An eye-opener for those who are oblivious to the 7th Month customs and festivities..

Read my full review here.. and girls, dun be disappointed with Haizad's few seconds of glory on the show.. enjoy him while he last!...

my verdict brudder: i think, it's best you pursue acting and leave your singing dreams aside!... ;)

It feels soooo weird today, not having her around... there would have been a breakfast call rite abt this time to start off the day.. hmmmm.... looks like ther won't be any more or maybe less frequent teh-lite sessions for me!...

Monday was her official last day.. she was sooooo busy.. i was too and it only hit me when she sent out her Au Revoire letter... sungguh sedih!...

howell.. she's leaving for the good of her future and hopefully, she's kept sane there.. :) Izy, take good care of her, ok??... if there's a job opening there, do let me know too. plsssssss... !.. after next year, eh??.. ten-tiu!... ahhahahahhaa....

so, my dearest friend, i'll miss you soooooo, soooooooo much!!....

NEW ADDITIONS..
Look who we visited over the weekend?....


The new addition to dearest family, Nurin Qistina and also, the fruit of their love - RinRiaz's first baby - Alya Lashira.. just 3 days apart from each other!.. how coincidental!...

And there'll be 2 baby birthday bash next month... plus 2 more new additions to the SP-Happening group in the following 1 or 2 mths... hmmmm..... seems like we're hit with a sudden burst of baby shower!... ;)

AN IDIOT'S BLOG
Was bloghopping and came across this pretty moronic blog, discriminating us Malays as well as our religion - Islam, calling us Malays - rodents... and illustrating to the world how we behave and wat we do!....

"They wake up in the morning while the whole world is still asleep make a ruckus with their morning prayers..go back to sleep.."

"....or they just simply laze around..no..they don't have jobs..ask yourself..would you hire neanderthals ???????????????????????????? DEFINITELY NOT.Unless you're looking for a road sweeper or toilet cleaner of course..then again..they would too..be at the bottom rung of the unemployed community ladder..making it impossible for them to actually get jobs.."

it's such a laff how dense one can be!... i will not get worked up here on my blog bcoz of some moron who dun even half know what he/she is writing about.. if u feel like reading some crap juz for morning or afternoon laffs, read on ... Moron 1 and the Same Moron 2..

such fool!... but of course, without these fools the world will be such a boring place.. imagine!.. nothing to bitch abt!... oh dear!... but fuck!... the place would be a much better, happier place - less stress, less sickness, less 1 moron to live with! (it's been said that we can die dealing with stupid people! And this moron is really 1 stupid fuck head!)...

I'M TOUCHED..
Sincerely touched and speechless at my boss' generosity.. it was his to use or sell or wateva but instead, he and she have decided to give it to me.. wat is it??....

obiang, isn't it?.. hahahaa...

but it's FREE! ;) and it's 3G powered! (though i dun really need one!) so, no complaints!.... and hmmm..... RosmAman is asking to loan it but errrrm... not being selfish eh... hahahaha... i actually intend to pass it to my dad for his use - depending of course, if i like using it!.. ahahhahaa.. if he use it, then, i can laon u his extremely large but still can use (though quite irritating at times) piece.. but if i'm using it, then, i'll loan u mine! ;) coz i'm sure he dun intend to use mine anytime soon!.. ahhahahaha....

edited at 1.29pm: fiddled with the phone a bit and simply love it's picture clarity and the fact that it can take pictures facing front and back!!! oooooh-laaaa-laaaa... am simply falling in lurrp with it!

Anyways, i'm blessed with my great bosses.. speaking to a colleague yesterday, who have been here for 15yrs - it does pay to be patient!.. but then hor, i dun want up 15yrs HERE?!!... brrrrr..... but i can't leave now either.. and i'm fast moving on to my half-way mark next year.. hmmmm.... anyways, i really hope to pursue my passion in make-up, sometime next year.. at least, I've got something to look forward to and to also pass my time while waiting for dearest to finish up school!.. hmmmmm.....

STYLE ME UP

Love that clay-ie, almost matte look (but the model really look quite pecah!)... not too sure if i can pull it off..

Anyone wanna join me in their "Style me Up" beauty sessions between 19Aug to 28Aug? Choose one of the session during the period.. Cost $30 for 2pax and it's reedemable with their products..
Hmmm... i'm itching to get BB's cosmetics!... been a while since i last splurge on them!... brrrrrr...... it's such a fetish i cannot get rid of!.... told a friend i've to stay away from shopping centres for the next 6mths!... errrrrr.. .. yeah! rite!... at the rate i'm going - "shopping" and eating, i dun think my "dreams" of saving more for my wedding and having less fats is gonna be achieved!!...

Anyways, mom spent her moolahs on me last nite!.. hahaha... ;D in abt 3wks, i'll be getting my transition lens soon!.... may just do away with my contacts for awhile.. maybe i should try to look eek for the next few months to my wedding.. like they say - u look eek before your wedding, so that on ur big day, u'll look different and totally fantabulous!.. hahahahahhaa...... *yeah! rite!* will NEVER do tat!...


ooooh!... btw, a friend is trying to sell these speakers....

brand new..
te new version of altec lansing speakers for ipod....
still in the package and not open yet.....
originally cost S$250.. now selling for S$220..

anyone? anyone?..

let me know yah!...

SLEEPING..
i'm like literally dozing off (wat's new?!).. i've finished my report.. and i'm like freakin bored now.. unlike Ms Quirky, i can't sleep with my eyes wide open!... gosh!... i'm damn tired!... thank god i'm going home today!.. may just be sleeping in the bus on the way home.. feel like taking the cab.. but i can't!.. been taking cab like nobody's business!... gosh!... hmmmm....

anyways, drew up my guest list - again!.. and the only thing that's bugging me is my colleagues list.. i definitely am inviting my direct working colleagues and a few others from other div.. BUT.. there's some colleagues, very near me, whom i feel i should not invite... if i were to do an open invitation to all of them, tat would be oh-soooo superficial and soooooo against my integrity.. i dun wish to be a hypocrite to myself, thank u very much!... ;)

but u know.. i'm not one who gets the whole dept talking abt my wedding and then, not inviting any of them leh.. but then hor, if i invite this and not that, there would really be a problem.. even if it doesn't seem like a problem!.. it's not like i'm not on talking terms with those few peeps.. i am!... but then, hor, not so close lor.. talk cock like that only.. haiyah!...

my only main reason for having to cut down on the no. of people i'm inviting is due to the lack of space available.. i really have to cut my numbers by 50 pax.. i dun wish for mum to cut down on hers bcoz of i'm sure she has tried her darnest to cut down A LOT!.. and i thank her for tat!... so, as my saying goes - since this is my wedding, i would love to only share it with the very few nearest and dearest friends/colleagues i have - not that i have that many to begin with! hehee..

the rest, i will....................... i've not decided.... i can...
A) dump them all at dearest place on Sunday or
B) i'm sorry.. you're not invited.. but if you do wish to give me anything. anything at all (minus telur busuk or anything untasteful)! pls feel free!.. hahahahhaa.... :p

hmmmm...... option A is a more likely, humane enuff choice... will have to seek permission from the future in-laws to see if they mind an extra 30 or so peeps... wat's 30 peeps as compared to their 1000, tul tak?.... hehehee... howell....

WEDDING PLANNER..

oooooh!.. found this over the weekend... so far, been pretty insightful.. the cd-rom with all the template from budgeting to seating arrangement to programs... sooooo baguuuuus..

DECISIONS... DECISIONS..
Getting married is really not easy eh?... hmmmm...... i've got 2 choices of venue now.. choice A is big but old, nearer but not so accessible.. choice B is small but newer, further but accessible, has a nice stage with the stairs in front but i cannot make my entrance (i shall refrain from saying "grand" as it may not be grand and Sahiril will kacau me non-stop!).. definitely, space is a factor.. we need to fit 64 tables (of 8 pax ea) in a place.. plus the reception, the makan space, etc.. etc... errrrr....... dun think can fit choice B lor... so, i think, it's back to choice A....

then, dearest is also facing this minor crisis.. to extend the block or to have marquee for his side of the wedding... the extend, is cheaper.. but if we're to erect a marquee for all the guests, it'd be waaaayyy toooo expensive!.... hmmmm..... but then, looking at his block of flat, it's a bit too ambitious to have tables under the void deck lor.. but howell, we're praying for the best!.. and hopefully, the best means only to extend out the block!...

there's also this painful decision to buy a house or not to buy a house!.... i heard tat we may be asked to pay cash next year for new houses.. and if this happens, i'd rather buy a house end of the year juz to escape the cash payment.. but then eh... dearest said that since we'll still be bogged down with financial burden, we may not be able to live in it till a bit later.... hmmm... tak shiok kan cam tu?!.... so how like tat?.....

there's also this conscious decision to lose weight by 16 Sept!.... need to look good in my photos!.... tat's like a mere 1.5mths away!..... i can either go on a fast for the next 2 wks and then cut down on my food intake.. OR make the decision to look fat but still (of course!) look absolutely fantabulous - it's the confidence that matters, anyways!.. ahhahaha..... errrr..... like i've told someone.. i dun mind having fatty disposition anywhere from shoulders down - there's always the corset!... but i need to get rid of my fatty, tembam cheeks!!.... so which one shall i decision should i make??..... hmmmmm......
