Generalisation
November 19, 2009 at 1:56 pm | In Random Thoughts | 2 CommentsToday, I saw the truth from what I have been hearing about… and unfortunately, it became a second time for my pair of eyes. It was sad, but unfortunately true enough. I guess it is time for me to stop generalizing that ALL Malays are Muslims.
Bitter-Sweet Memories
November 17, 2009 at 8:49 pm | In Family, Random Thoughts | Leave a Comment
An incident befell one of my relatives just recently. When I learnt of this on Sunday, I felt unsettled, I wish I could help. For now, I can only pray for her. When it came to our knowledge of what happened, not only it was rather unfortunate, it also came at the wrong timing. However, it triggered my secondary school memories in my mind.
Ahhh… yes, my bitter-sweet secondary school memories. It was happy-yeh-yeh time for me during the first two years, but reality began setting in when I was in Sec 3. I made some questionable decisions and sacrifices for my own good. But eventually, it was those decisions, sacrifices and not forgetting some good friends, wonderful teachers and my supportive parents – I did well for my final-year Sec 3 exams and my ‘O’ Levels.
The important lesson learnt then, was to know who I was mixing with, and the courage to amend oneself. I was mixing with the wrong company which had cost me my grades.
Looking back, I realized that Allah was there with me the whole time during my ‘transition’ stage. He gave me strength to pick myself up and to keep on persevering. He gave me courage when some people had no faith in me. He gave me company when I felt so alone and left out.
And He still is with me. =D
I guess when one decides to change for the better, especially when one is a Muslim, one needs to realize that change is possible because Allah is there, our Number One supporter. So, know that changes are good, though most are hard. But most importantly, know that it is possible because Allah is always there, so you must not give up.
Recalling what my mum used to say when I was in Primary 6, “Your most memorable education life is always during secondary school.” Well, it was memorable yet tough one for me. Perhaps, it will just stay with me as a scar for now, till I have kids and it might be a good example to them one day.
*shouts* RANDOM NOTES!
October 21, 2009 at 6:45 pm | In Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentI just told my boss that I had shed 1kg for skipping lunch. And he laughed super sarcastically. Pffft.
I came back to the office and found not one, not two, not three, but FIVE packs of Apollo Hazelnut Stick Wafers on my desk! Thank you Sweet Santa Clause Siew Ying Siew Mai!
Yes, yes, I am going for SPIB tonight! I shall sacrifice my work this time and go go go! I’m just thinking what is the fastest route (besides taking a cab). Erm…. cab?
And my linner (Lunch + dINNER) looks weird… :S
Height Issues
October 1, 2009 at 2:08 pm | In Family, Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentI wanted to blog about one of my cousins who has grown up way too fast that now he’s as tall my my brother and he’s only 17.
Then…. I realized that I am shorter than almost everybody around me. Pffft.
Me Want iPhone… Please?
September 25, 2009 at 10:02 pm | In Birthdays, Random Thoughts | 3 CommentsIt going to be ten, and I am still in the office! What did I tell you? 5 days away from the office was simply too much for me. Luckily my instincts told me to go back to the office after I was done at client’s place today.
Am now waiting for Joyah to finish her stuffs and we shall cab home together later. All thanks to the centralized aircon in the office (which automatically switches off at 5pm), I am feeling super humid here. Gahh.
On another random note, I feel like getting an iPhone. Haha. It seems like I react pretty slowly to the surroundings around me. When iPhone was the talk of the town, I was like “What is so good about it? Pfffft.” NOW, when I see many people using it, and especially after touching J’s and Haney’s iPhones, I am itching to get one.
It’s those applications dude! AND the pweeeety-looking skins that’s selling almost everywhere! Now, how come they don’t have that for Sony Ericsson W595? Argh. I probably have to wait till my line expires…. which is like in a year and half time? Otherwise, I’d get screamed at by my dad again.
OR OR OR!
You can always get it for me for my BIRTHDAY…. *bats eyelids* Whahahahhaa… Hey, perhaps I should start my birthday list now eh?
Back to work
September 22, 2009 at 10:20 pm | In Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentBeing away from the office for 5 days (inclusive of the weekends) has got the lazy out of me. I wish I wish I wish to be a tai tai… the sooner the better.
Haha… somehow I know that wish will never come true. They say “In Singapore, everybody work until they die.” On the other hand, going back to work tomorrow will keep me sane. If I didn’t ask Tok out today, I’d probably die out of boredom. Surprisingly Facebook is getting to be quite boring. Or perhaps it is just me, I don’t know how to entertain myself with it. Hmm, this shows I’m getting old. Sigh.
Ok, time to sleep. No more excuses to come to work late anymore, haha. HOT MILO from coffeeshop for breakfast! Yessssah!
Thinking About…
August 1, 2009 at 10:15 pm | In Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentSometimes, I wonder…
Why are there many single mums around?
Why friends lie to each other out of envy/ill-thoughts?
Why stupid sacrifices are made for people we love?
Why girls nowadays don’t see the importance of household chores?
Why young people don’t feel a sense of belonging at home?
Why people would resort to illegal or dangerous means for money?
Why there’s a battle going on everywhere?
Why people don’t uphold their religious values anymore?
…. Why is my room always full of dust no matter how much I clean it?
Perhaps I haven’t been seeing the things on the brighter side… Or maybe I’m thinking too much.
Locked In.
July 7, 2009 at 8:19 pm | In Random Thoughts | 2 CommentsI had never imagined to have landed myself in this situation – I just found myself LOCKED IN the office!!! And it’s about 8.15pm right now.
I had forgotten to transfer the office key into my other wallet when I changed wallets. I decided to stay a bit late today to clear as much work as I can, and when my boss offered to lock the door before he left, for the sake of my safety, I happily said ‘OK’ and conveniently forgotten about the key….
Just when I was packing up and about to throw the rubbish, as I walked towards the door….. Argh, why didn’t it hit me much earlier when Boss said he’d lock the door? I tried to search for an extra key, but to no avail. Extremely panicked, the first person I called was Siti. And thank God, she is on the way here now from wherever she is to rescue me.
Next, I called Tok… well… he let out a little laugh, which later made me laugh along, at my own silliness. Gosh, stoooopid…. stooooooopid!
So now, here I am blogging about my plight, while waiting for Siti…. =S
One-Month Long

After much thought, and a little bit more time on my hands, I listed out things that I’d wish to do if I were given a one month long break paid leave.
- Stay with my grandma in JB for a few weeks
- Go umrah
- Abstain myself from the internet and handphone
- Learn to cook and bake more things
- Fly kites
- To cycle every day and see where the wheels take me
- Go hiking in Ubin
- Go nature walking on Semakau Island
I would love to do ALL in one month, but I told myself, don’t be too ambitious. Especially someone of my energy level. Takot terkencit nanti. Heh.
Definitely am longing for the umrah, especially after Zak’s sharing on her umrah trip… I went with my family when I was in primary 3, but I am sure the experience being able to go at this age would be different and more fulfilling than 14 years ago.
So…. to my superior *ahem* – one month leave approved? Hehe. =P
Looking forward…
June 3, 2009 at 11:46 am | In Random Thoughts | Leave a CommentToday half day!!!! Woohoo!!!!
I think…
I think I am slowly learning. To be patient. To not make a huge deal about things that do not affect me. Well, it does not affect me now, but it might affect you in future, my dear. Perhaps in the past I used to make huge deals about such matters because I care way too much, that it became irritating.
I shall just pray for the best. And I realized I’m being vague here. Haha. Ok, blabber, blabber, yak yak. Bye.
