hot girls

so a friend of mine came to my cubicle one morning before facebook is blocked by the network. and he popped the question:

"so tell me who's your friend who's hot... and still single"

i hesitated, and after some moments paused, i told him that none came up in my mind. especially after he mentioned the last part of his... what, request? a few hot people did come to mind when he first asked. but all of them are already taken, in whatever ways.

so, to dear readers who are my friends on facebook and still single who think that they're hot and deserve some kind of recognition from me, i'm so sorry! i'm now going thru my 400+ friends on facebook to recall who's hot and who's not. heh.

pre-2012 resolutions.

i'm not sure about how i feel about the fact that now work is my primary concern over everything else. as in, for example, right now, when i felt like writing, i would first think if i still have any work to do before i can spend some time blogging.  which is also the case with almost everything else, for examples:

1) i'm supposed to be the initiator between my fellow rakan sekerja to go for a RM15-eat-all-durian-you-can this week, which, by the look of it, is going to be either tomorrow or friday. but i'm so into my current task, that i just couldn't be bothered to think about the makan-durian thing, which still has a lot of things to do such as confirming when, inviting who, and how to get there. malas ah.

2) usually i'll be on the lookout for buddies to hang out. the fact that it's the last week of the month contributes a bit to the current situation of many people going for a vacation at this point of time. but even those who are still around... i just don't feel like arranging something with them. not while i still have an important deadline tomorrow, and a less urgent one the day after.

3) i forewent (forego but in past tense?) gym today in favour of going home at 5.30pm so that i can take a nap (an hour long, that is... from 6 to maghrib) in the comfort of my own room with my own bed as opposed to taking a power nap in your cubicle to recharge.

which leads me to what i want to talk about. the gym thing.

the thing about the gym thing, is that, not so long ago, foregoing workout in favour of something as pemalas as sleeping would be (slightly) unthinkable. but now... it is happening!!

and i was actually thinking of starting a new resolution for 2012, that is to go to the gym or something, but by doing it this week, so as to have some sort of momentum going into the new year, instead of starting scratch next year. merepek je actually, since it's only a few days difference, i mean, it's not that i've started well -like, weeks- before the new year. takde makna sangat sebenarnya.

but now it looks like this week there will be no gym altogether. will start anew next year instead.

good enough. at least now i can reflect on the whole year that is coming to an end very soon, and plan up new ones for the coming 2012.

but even that, the 2011 review and 2012 preview, will have to wait until i'm done with this week's deadlines. heh.

perhaps i should make a note already about what i can include in my 2012 resolutions: ACHIEVE WORK-LIFE BALANCE LA WEH!

a whole lot of bulls

i hate to admit this. but i think i kinda like staying at the office beyond 5pm to finish the work as soon as possible.

this may be different to people who just have to go back late because they must finish it or they just can't bring back home their work. but... essentially, it's still two same cases. both also stay up late at the office.

except one is voluntarily, and the other is forced to.

and compare this to a post (that i'm lazy to find... because i want to finish my work first) where i rambled about me hating auditors who go back late that i wrote not so long ago.

kill me.

Meaningless Long Weekend

so i was looking at the archives, and i saw that the frequency of posts is deteriorating.

and i thought this long weekend, maybe i could write something meaningful.

but turns out that, there isn't anything worth writing. so i thought, hm, maybe i should reflect and write about why is it that, despite the long weekend, i don't feel like writing anything.

why eh?

is it because there isn't anything happening that's blogworthy? or is it because i have no time? or is it because the life has been so fast-paced that i just could not keep up to at least stop for a while and look back at what's happening? dan lain lain lagi?

let's try to look at the options, one by one. and see if there's any element of truth to any one of it. or maybe all of them.

there's nothing happening recently since the last update? quite possible. while it's true that almost everyday is different to me (not because of work, but because after work i ought to do something different from the day before for the whole week), but it's nothing of significance. i could write about what i did everyday. stuff like monday hang out with high school friends, tuesday stayed at home for dinner with parents, wednesday movie night with PNB buddies, thursday the usual Thursday Night Futsal, friday the mini KY06 reunion. but those are... quite mundane, in comparison to...

see i can't even remember the last time i had something that's not as mundane.

so. it is true that there isn't much happening.

what about "i have no time!"? true, to some extent. went to office at 7, finished at 5 (hopefully), go to gym till 6 something, then go back home. maghrib, isya, then dinner, and it's already 10pm. read pages, surf stuff, and i'm already sleepy, and go to bed latest at 12, later than that will result in struggles to stay awake the next day after lunchtime.

when la to blog?

about life has been very fast-paced. i'm not so sure about it. because during office hours, time does seem like going very slowly. it's just that when it's weekends that you realized that, eh it's already been a week. and sometimes (although it's only been 3 times that i got my payslip, one of which was in mid-December), i did feel like "eh it's payday already". i mean, what had happened?

and sometimes there is just so many things to do, that blogging will go to the bottom of the priority list. i mean, compared to finishing the company valuation, or hanging out with close friends, or accompanying parents to wherever that they want to go... which one do you think need the most amount of attention?

conclusion: forgive me for the lack of updates. heh.

Tina, Love.

i think you guys haven't met. guys, this is Krisstina. Tina, this is... guys.

we're together since 1st of December.

Mas Kahwin: RM1800
Legal Fees: RM230
Hantaran: Rear tyre RM65 + Brake Pads front and rear RM24 + sprocket/chain RM45 = RM135
mileage masa dapat: around 21000 km.

still due:
battery: around RM70 kot.
Front tyre: RM65
backpack: RM55
givi box? : from RM150

and you say maintaining a relationship isn't expensive. sangatlah tidak oi!

and also, last weekend, i serviced my Vivian i.e. Toyota Vios. and that incurred me another RM300 for 140,000km service T_T

plus. i had to change a tyre, because one tyre was blown some few months ago (was it last year?), and my sister changed it to a tyre that is of a different brand and type from the other 3. and she didn't do any alignment or balancing after the tyre change, resulting in the steering vibrating when cruising between 90 to 120km/h (it stops beyond that).

so, after almost a year driving like i'm driving a horse cart, now i finally feel like driving a 3 month old Vivian (because i just drove a friend's brand new Vios. nothing special, except it feels like new, which it is). but the price to pay? RM230.

so, for this month alone, after a mid-December payday, i've spent almost RM560 on assets maintenance. and i still got one and a half month to go before the next payday!!! and for the previous salary, it was barely enough until i got the next pay (with only RM30 to spare). and that was after only 2 weeks. now i still have more than 4 weeks to go :O

because i'm afraid posting it on my wall will incur the wrath of thousands of people who are on my friends list. eventhough inciting anger would be the last thing in my mind when i want to share this. so let's get more privacy, and talk about it here.

there's so many disclaimers included in the article. so, be less objective when you read it.

selamat petang. mari pulang ke rumah. jam sekarang ialah 5.21pm. lambat 21 minit sebab nak elak hujan.

Haramain

so i was at UIA attending a fundraising dinner, courtesy of my mom who paid for it, when we were greeted by several girls/ladies seeming all glamorous for a charity event. quite 'amused' by that, i later found that the attendees, of the fairer sex, were dressed even more fashionable than the usherers i saw earlier.

and this is for a fundraising dinner to build a new mosque for a nearby neighbourhood, held at an Islamic university. and the dinner was followed by a forum by panelists such as Ust. Zaharuddin and Ust. Zahazan (and Prof. Muhaya). for a while, i was a bit confused.

but, come to think about it, with A-list 'celebrities' as panelists, and the forum moderator was Imam Muda Asyraf, maybe that was a night of glamour. not to mention that the moon eclipse also happened the same night. ada feel gitew. twilight bagai.

but the forum was a success, i have to say. was a bit disappointed that the Q&A session afterwards were filled with questions unrelated to the topic, as if they were not really listening to what the talk is all about. but i enjoyed it a lot. very enlightening.

but the main reason why i am writing about this. so i was wondering, when the emcee was introducing Imam Muda Asyraf, he mentioned the title "Imam Muda". and i thought, wow, Astro has been so influential, every single reality show that they created, will be having a lasting effect (or to most AF contestants, a few months of fame, before reality checks in) on some people.

it's like, astro is now a big part of our life.

and then comes the next question. i just posted this on my wall. it was about how Imam Muda Asyraf got his permanent Imam Muda title, after winning the Imam Muda tv show not so long ago. and it's the same as other winners or participants of astro shows, like Raja Lawak, AF and whatnot. so the question is, for contestant Firuz of Ustazah Pilihan, what will we call her after this? do we stick to the normal 'ustazah' title, or astro will add 'pilihan' to her official name? a bit like as if she's the chosen one, the chosen ustazah, Firuz the chosen ustazah.

except, when it's in Malay, it'll be "Ustazah Pilihan Firuz", and it doesn't sound right at all.

astro, enriching people's life. katanye.

PC FAIR!!!

so the past 3 days were the PC Fair. and today i decided that i'll go and buy some stuff that i needed (and some wanted) to buy that's PC Fair-related. such as stuff for my ipad, and some other things.

so i went to Digital Mall. and boy, was it empty! relatively, at least. hence my decision was justified.

and i bought some stuff happily... flashing my card like there's no tomorrow. kemudian baru menyesal tak sudah. because it's a debit card. and my bank balance is now in a dire state.

and that leads to my main point of writing this post. after today, i can safely conclude that, before you want to purchase something. anything. you must at least have done some online research about the price of that item. at least check it at lelong.com.my, better at mudah.my, awesomest if you google it for a few minutes.

because i bought my stylus just now, and i found out that it's cheaper by RM10 at the shop just next door. so to avoid such thing from occurring again, i suggest that you at least check the price online, just as a benchmark.

and stop going to another shop looking for the same thing after you have purchased that thing earlier. not good for your mental health.

hee. i like my purchases today :D
