i know exactly what to write in my book :)

I will never forget the day paper pompoms spoke to me.

I realized my destiny was to become a professional party planner when I folded my boss' note into a paper pompom.

No matter how careful you are with the hot cuppa coffee to make sure it doesnt spill, at the end of that journey from pantry to your place, it spills.

bloody hell.

Just before your big day, function, party, that zit conveniently pops out to say hi to the world, and the list goes on.

No, I'm not talking about unexpected events.

I'm talking about being too cautious or too careful in the course of living your life. that bloody hot coffee will spill sooner or later no matter how steady your hands are and you know it.

So what we should really prepare for is not for the coffee to get to the table safely, but for the coffee to spill seconds before it reaches the table.

Selamat Hari Raya, arent we all happy everytime the festive season revisits us? *smilllleee*

Raya was fun for a few days, then everything restores to normal comfy city life then holidays came to an end and now i'm in the office again. Oh and today's Aidil's birthday!!! :D Aidil turns 27! Amazing. The first time I got to know Aidil was when he was 23. Giler muda la dia masa tu. :p

Speaking of muda, I'm not too young anymore too. boohooooooo... But u know what happened today? I always come to the office with this kerek look on my face, like I wont look at anyone- jalan straight je, cam bagus. So this morning was not an exception. Was walking like I own the whole damn building then my pumps got stuck at some old curled up grey (ugly!) carpet, my feet came out of the pump and onto the cold marble and do i dare to look behind?? No. But I had to since I had to take my shoe backkkkkk.

One guy (old!) chuckled. The rest of them was too sleepy to be bothered with that blooper but will probably tell the story to them friends at breakfast. Nice.

Time chases you when you've got so many things to do and thats great because as a woman u always need to be chased. Na mean?? hehehe... huhuhu...

I'm into this thing this project this thing thats taking quite a lot of my time but if i get to pull it off, it will be a story to tell. Think Oprah Winfrey. Ok think Wanita Hari Ini la. Giler. I want to be on tv! I want! :P

Keeping my day job is the hardest thing to do right now because i'm so distracted with other things. There must be a way out for people like me who gets a bundle of nerves when being confined in a place for too long. Or perhaps i just need to have a friend in here.

Ok gotta run to do some more thinking for the future.

How much of a future do I have if the world is really expiring in 2011/2012? Seriously now.

advice column

Honestly, how do you offer your 2 cents to someone... say ur friend... whom you know will not listen?

You dont.

Hey, after all, nobody likes to be told what to do.

But they expect you to be around when things do not go as planned.

So do just that.

Setting examples are the best way to impose teachings on someone anyway.

Makes me wonder, how will generation Z take advices? The eight ball, perhaps?

old man's sayings are still relevant

We; the much younger generation always attempt to prove the elderly wrong, to some extent. One thing fo sho, I always try to prove my parents wrong. For no reason at all (and dont try to relate it to me having a legal background) but simply to have the taste and thrill of having independence in producing my own opinion, which is good i must say. But at the end of the day, we have to face it. THEY ARE RIGHT. ALWAYS.

For one thing many of us can relate to is that saying Opposites Attract. This expression is frikinly flawless that Hollywood should make a movie by this title already! Starring Johnny Depp and Reese Witherspoon of course.

Last night I attended a gathering of Toastmasters. Pretty awesome given that the bunch consists of people who are brought together by their passion to talk publicly and be good at it. I thought hey, finally a bunch of mes.

I enjoyed every minute of it, and went home feeling pleasantly exhausted with a crystal clear realization that I will just die if I marry someone who talks more than I do.

I might as well make a list here:

1. Racing to tell a story or to beat the volume of someone else's voice is the hardest thing to do and I do not have the will to compromise with that.
2. If you see me turning quiet, I have been turned off by ur story or ur attitude.
3. When girls gather and talk, and the only thorn among the roses talks as much or more, will be voted out.

But one good point made by one of the Toastmasters yesterday was; if the marriage goes completely silent, you might wanna start getting help.

Silence is bliss as long as it is not within the marriage. Quote me.

So what if I'm a female driver?

Female drivers have been incessantly accused for their bad driving. So we drive like sheet yah? Shut up......

And by shut up I mean dont la stand there and STARE at me when i'm trying to get out of my parking, pakcik! That car parked behind me is not even your car! So clearly you were soooo concerned because I'm a female driver kan?

Anyway, this pakcik (garang looking somemore) with janggut and kopiah and cekak-ed pinggang, stared at me while i was trying to get my car out of the parking yesterday. FYI pakcik, my car has that censor beep to tell me if i am too close to the car behind k.. Dont look at me like that ok.. I have been driving for 9 years now ok..

Female or no female, I dont deserve to be babysitted while driving. ish!

When I succeeded in getting myself out of that misery, I vroom-ed pass the pakcik trying to avoid looking at him, when what I really wanted to do was exactly like what deer did to Diego when Diego failed to catch it, "uh tip toe tip toe!"

Sorry I didnt make your day, pakcik.

Ganbatte

It is pronounced gam-bat-tey, really. A new word everyone in the department is supposed to submit selves to. meaning-- to do your best at all times, in any situation. okay great. nice. thanks for choosing a simple word I can remember. Love.

My very own ganbatte will start from ceasing all kinds of complaining activities. Complaining will get me nowhere but slowing my pace in life. So yeah just fret like a second and move baby. When we save time from complaining, we can actually achieve so much more. And hey if you want to really complain about something, save those words and put em into actions-- write letters, emails, whatever. Dont rattle like a snake and just sit on that a** and wait for other people to make your life the way you want it to be. We care about ourselves, and so should you.

Like right now, I just came out out preparing an opinion and have to start on a new issue, and I feel like screaming, but when i look at the clock, its 11.50 am so that means its lunch time soon! Yay!! I am going to eat a cow! Oh just for the record, while eating lambchop a couple of days ago, i almost choked to death. Calmness is the key to survival in this world. that is another thing you must learn from me today. If i had panicked, i would have not had the time to think of what to do to get out of that near out-of-breath situation.

I'm so hungry I'm gonna ramble around the pantry for food now.
