HER Blind Date
Anyways, back to that friend of mine. She was on a blind date today with a guy whom a long-time friend of hers introduced quite recently. I heard it went pretty okay. She was comfortable enough to be herself and NOT act all giggly or anything. But now, she is getting worried. All worried that she might rush into things, might make the wrong decisions about not wanting to stick to one blah blah blah.
All I need to say to that friend of mine ( you know who you are). There really is nothing to worry. Insya ALLAH everything will be alright. You made the right decision of not wanting to commit just yet. You are NOT being a *ITCH by wanting to still be on the lookout for other opportunities. You are still young, dear. Insya ALLAH. When the time is right, Mr HE will come knocking on your door- when you least expect it.
Anyways, please tell the guy to take it one step at a time. The one way to scare someone whom you have JUST known is to talk about marriage. I mean, he has just known you for what, 2 days?!?!?! Releks lah...I mean, we are not living in the olden era where women need to get married at such a young age and make tonnes of babies. We need to get to know the guy and be comfortable with him first before talking about the M word. BUT - if he is a bloody good-looking guy with a bloody fit bod, WOO HOO! he can just propose even after only 5 hours of knowing moi! We can perform CPR on each other - WOO HOO!! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and WOO HOO!
First-Aid never was THIS interesting
Woah! You should have seen his body. Dayum!It was fit, I tell you. Bloody fit. He wore a polo-T and heck, you should have seen the size of those arms. WOO HOO!! Hahahahahaha...I am excited just thinking about him. He was bloody well-built. Bloody good-looking as well. But he was pretty lame. His jokes were lame but hey, his looks made up for it. Hehehehehehe...
I was on my crutches today. Darn, it's hard to get by with crutches. There was this makcik who actually suggested that he sent me to the nearest MRT. SHESH! Part of me wanted to just grab the opportunity but I decided not to. I mean, what if the girlfriend or (even worse) the WIFE saw me and him in the car alone?!?!?! ARGH!!! Nah ah. I do NOT want to get into such trouble. I know I'm exaggerating but what if I actually caused some fights between them or something!?!?! UH oh!! In the end, I just took the cab.

The Aftermath
Sometimes it really is no use pursuing a certain matter any further.
But just because I have forgotten about it and am talking to HER as per normal, does NOT mean it is well forgottten. There are still questions lurking at the back of mind about the incident. Those questions will go unanswered...for now.
The Extremely Short True Story
Nonetheless, she waited. Then, her phone rang. It was Sally. Sally called to ask her to meet Fizah at Banquet. She went there, furiuosly. "So she's already there," she thought to herself.
She arrived there to find Fizah was with Sally and Kak Sal. Fizah was happily talking to the other 2 ladies and had alredy finished her Western food.
Like the story above? It is based on a true story. Happened only yesterday.
I'm really amazed at how a friend can bail out on another friend just like that and expects everything to be as per normal.
Fizah, stupid people can be taught but thoughtless, annoying, lying bitch gets on my nerves.

The night after it was over
But it was really dissappointing when we got there and ordered. One thing, it took ages for us to get the dishes and secondly, the food was not half as good as expected. Moreover, it was expensive! ARGH! Such a dissapointment. Anyways, we took these phots to compensate for the lack of taste on the food.

Now, that's the birthday girl! Ain't she just beautiful? I love my mum!So now you know which floor I'm residing at, yeah.

Hehehehehe...That's the birthday girl with her beau...MUAHAHAHAHAHA...who happens to be someone I call 'BAPA'. My dad can be really adorable at times. I think they are one of the most loveliest couple in the whole entire world. Can you believe that theirs was an arranged marriage?They have NEVER seen each other until they were engaged. They have been through a lot together, my parents. I love them to bits! I pray each day that my future husband and I will be as loving as my parents are.Insya ALLAH.

The next couple here is my brother and his preggo wifey. I'm really happy for them. Allah has finally answered their prayers. Kak Arfah is finally being given a chance at completing her womanhood in the form of a bulging tummy.

And here we have the soon-to-be-married couple. My sis must be really sleepy, isn't she? Can't even get her eyes open for the picture. Hehehehe...But they are great. Abang Fitri is a very lucky man and my sis is a very lucky lady. These two individuals complements each other. Good luck for the marriage!

And last but definitely not the very least, moi and the birthday girl. Since I have not found a partner YET (sob sob) So I decided to just take a picture with DA MOM!. And yes, I have taken the big decision to do away with my luscious locks and settle for a funkier (I hope!) do. A new hairstyle for a new beginning. Fresh start.
The end of my termination period at CCC
Everyone congratulated me while I had my last breakfast at canteen with Abang and Abang Fitri. I cannot believe I am saying this but I am quite sad to leave. Sad to leave my "comfort zone" As contradicting as it is, CCC is my "comfort zone". Now I am leaving Abang and Abang Fitri, my routine work that I slowly learning to get used to. Despite that, It is still not half as bad as how I felt when I was leaving ETP.
I actually wanted to leave before lunch but Evonne ( a Malaysian girl who was also leaving today) told me that our pay could be deducted if we were to leave before 5.18pm. So I just stayed on.
I always had this thinking that the small tasks that were usually given to were simple and minor. But come to think of it now that it is left with just Noreen and Tina, those small tasks can be quite time-consuming. Even to my last day (ie: today), Noreen still wanted to pass me some things to be done but luckily, it did not happen. Sighs.
I received a beautiful necklace from SK Jewellery bought by Tina,Wilson,Noreen,Mohammad and Serene. I was really shocked to see all 5 of them crowding round my table when I came back from the washroom. Thanks guys!
Hwee Ling,Lynn and Carol treated me lunch at Sakura. Yum! Yum! It was fantastic!
Lunch went by quickly and immediately upon coming back from Sakura, I started to distribute my little gift to everyone. But I sent out my farewell email.
Something weird but memorable happened while I was going around talking to my friends (at CCC) for the last time. I was on my way to Finance (Dept) when I saw this Indian lady, whom I have seen around walking in the opposite direction. As we came closer, I thought I heard her call my name.But I was hesitant to response because I was not sure if that was the case. But I stopped and we chatted for a while when I heard her call out my name for the second time. She was so shweet! I have never talked to her before but she gave me a hug anyways and wished me well. She told me how she liked my email. She told me that she could actually feel the emotions in the email. We talked for a few more minutes before I was on my way again.
I have come to the end of the first chapter of my career - CCC:The CSR (Customer Service Representative) quits. Come Monday, 18th April, I will be opening a new chapter. Different encounters, different types of people. Is it for better or for worse? I don't know. But I pray that ALLAH s.w.t will grant me the patience,endurance,guidance in order for me to get through it all and come a stronger individual and a Muslimah who has stronger faith. Amin.
Below here is the farewell that was sent out. What do you think of it? You agree with the Indian lady or otherwise?
Hi ALL,
I usually read other people's farewell message and wonder how mine will be like. Now, after 1 year and 4 months, I shall wonder no more.
A big thank you goes out to:
1) My XXX TEAM-Annie,Noreen,Tina,Wilson,Ansari,Rayan
My team mates, a huge xie xie for all your guidance and for putting up with me all this while. You have not just taught me about the necessary processes but also about life.
2) My team of XXX Test Planners/Schedulers-Carol,Lynn,Hwee Ling,Mavis,Alice,Selvam
I am grateful that all of you are professional enough to still treat me as a friend despite the tense moments during work. I apologise for having to disturb you during weekends but thank you for still answering my calls and working together with me in order to solve the problem.
3) XXX team of PEs-Boon Teck,Chee Meng,Neo,Vergil,Neo,Noel
I may not usually communicate with you guys but thanks for all your help.
4) Assy Planners-Selvam,Loo
Xie xie! Nandri!
5) Order Release Team-Fitri,Aileen,Samuel,Che Ka,Roslizah
All of you did a great job with the BROADCOM releases. Keep up the good effort and the future looks bright for all of you.
6) All of the people who were good to me
Eventhough you can choose to be mean to me, you did otherwise. All of you made my work much easier to execute and made me realise that not everyone here is as bad.
7) All of the people who were nasty to me
Well, I can't always have the good thing, right. Whoever you are, I have forgiven you for passing your mean remarks and wrongdoings. Your nastiness has NOT brought me down but has only made me stronger. Like the saying goes, WHAT DOES NOT KILL YOU ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER.
8) Last but not the least, my dearest brother- ALIAS KAMSIN
It has not been an easy ride for me but your constant guidance, encouragement and belief in me kept me going. Working here, I have learnt a great deal about you as well as the demands you have to go through daily. I am certain that whatever good thing you will receive in the very near future is due to your hard work and not because of someone else's misfortune. You deserve it because you are talented and you obtain all the goodness not by kissing people's a** but by working hard (and smart as well). Terima kasih for prompting me to be practical at times when I wanted to act on impulse. If I had done what I intended to do the other time, there would definitely be trouble right now. I am grateful that you still bother to introduce me to whoever we meet along the way here despite my lack of performance. I am sorry if I have ever embarrassed you in any way. Thank you for understanding my needs and for still believing in me eventhough my final decision may not be CCC. I hope we can still be as close as ever and my going away will not destroy the bond we have right now.
Everyone I shall not torture you further with my long speech,
Have a good life and GOD bless.
Love,Khaliza Bte Kamsin

That BOY and his idea on BLOGGING
I personally do not believe that blogging is meant only for teenagers. By saying that, I think that he is actually making a fool of himself.Not only is he ignorant about the happenings in the world, he is also very shallow.
In my opinion, blogging is a medium for us to be more aware of happenings around the world. Through blogging , I can actually find out the festivals or the culture of a different race from the other side of the world. Through blogging, I can read about and (maybe identify with) the thoughts and views of another individual from a country I can only dream of visiting. There are so many things that blogging can do. Blogging can also help me to express things to my freinds that I may have trouble saying face-to-face. There are so many advantages of blogging.
That is the trouble with us humans. We reject and condemn any ideas, concepts, thoughts techonlogy that is different from what we are used to. We label them as NONSENSE just because we saw only the bad effects of the particular thing. But doing that, we are limiting our minds from expanding and growing. Once we label something as worthless, we will shut out any comments that supports it. Hence, we miss out on a great something - all because it is different from something that we are used to.
So to THAT BOY, I suggest you rethink about your idea. Do not get me wrong. I am not asking you to agree with me nor am I asking you to start blogging. All I am saying is that you might want to be more careful of the things you say to another person (eventhough it's not done face-toface) and the kinds of conclusions you draw from something that you have NOT seen fully.
Think about it, Bro...

Jumping Joyahs
Hahahaha...These pictures were actually taken last Saturday, 2nd of April. After an intensive session of posing along the Singapore River, we decided to walk a little further up towards that bridge and (whatever it's name is) to this memorial-like place. Then I had this idea to capture a picture of us jumping in the air. I have seen it almost all the time in magazines and all. The models sure does look like they were having a great time - jumping. Hehehehe...So I proposed the idea to the ladies. Of course, as expected, only Sab and Aiza agreed. I knew Fizah was not really the type to be silly like that. No offence Fizah. I am NOT trying to criticise you but it's just that different people have different preferences. That's alright.
Anyways, here are some of the pics the three of us - Sab, Aiza and moi took to capture the purrfect "jumping joyahs" moment - while up in the air.

OoOOoOoppps...Aiza did not jump on time to be captured. Sab, I cannot see you. REJECT! Okay take 2...

WHAT IS THIS?!?!? WHERE AM I??? Hahahahahaha...How come Aiza has already landed while Sab is still in the air? REJECT! Take 3...

Uh oh..Now Aiza has already stood up and laughing at Sab who is squating like a frog.Hahahahahaa...But where am I? REJECT! Take 4...

LOOK!! All three of us are up in the air! YAY!! Finally! By this time, we were all perspiring and our tops were drenched with sweat.Hahahahaha..But boy was it fun! Great job girls!
The SMS that made a difference
Today was also the deadline for our LANGUAGE & LITEARCY assignment. We have been warned that 10 marks will be deducted for late submissions. That would be the last thing my group members and I would want to happen to our hard work. Today was also the day I had to go for my darn medical check-up. The clinic was jam-packed with people. The system was horrid. It was not systematic at all. I was running from one place to another. Usually, we would be given an agenda before we started the check-up. But this time round, I was running from one check-up to another. It was very confusing. Anyways, that was not the cause of my frustration.
Sabrina. She was the reason why I was so angry today. Okay, here's the story.
I was doing the compiling of our assignment (mentioned above). Yesterday night, I forwarded the whole assignment to her, as per her request. However, Aiza emailed me her portion only this morning, which I quickly edited into the assignment, which I forwarded to Sab yesterday night. I was running late from the check-up. While I was waiting at the clinic, I had Kakak helped me forward the REVISED version of the assignment to Sab, which she acknowledged. I completed my check-up only around 1.40pm. I thought that I could skip class and help Mak out for the kenduri tomorrow because I seriously thought that Sab would print the whole assignment, attend class and submit the assignment.
Boy was I shocked, surprised and furious when I called her up and found out that she has only printed HER portion of the assignment!!! Then what was the use of me forwarding the whole damn thing to her?!?!?!?!! I was fired up, I tell you. She even had to cheek to say, "Did I say I was gonna print out the whole thing, meh?"
ARGH!!! THE NERVE! I banged down the phone and quickly went to print the assignment. I rushed to class as soon as I could. I was reaching class when I saw two ladies in front of me. They turned out to be Normah and Sab. Once I saw Sab, I immediately looked away. Upon seeing my reaction, she even had the decency toask me if I was angry. Not wanting to create chaos, I left her in the midst of her question. She sat beside me. I turned away. The whole time during class I did not even trun to her direction and did not utter a single word to her. It was all the better. Frankly, I was really afraid that she might blurt out something that will trigger the
"demon" in me. Fortunately, she kept her mouth shut.
When class ended, I stepped out immediately, not wanting to waste any time. As I was sitting in the MRT ( still burning with anger inside), Sab messaged me - apologising. I gave her my piece of mind. It's all good now. I mean, I must give her credit for being brave enough to take the initiative to apologise. She said she was really busy with her stuff at that point of time. Whatever it is, it's over now. Just forgive and forget.
I also apologised for acting so cold towards her. My anger automatically reduced once I saw her "sorry" message. I really was not expecting it. But I am glad she did. Two proud heads is not a good combo.

"You And Me" - Lifehouse
My back is aching from continuosly sitting in front of my PC. It is so tiring. I need to complete Nelly's assignment by tonight because I need to go for my medical check-up at SATA tomorrow morning. It is supposed to be somewhere at the Woodlands Civic Centre. Darn! I have to fork out around 40 bucks for the silly check-up. But luckily, the amount can be reimbursed.
8 more days to 15th of April. After that, no more phone calls over the weekends, no more missing of shipment and bla bla bla. ARGH!!! I cannot wait to get rid of all this.
I am ready to start afresh. Am getting myself ready for a different sort of battlefield. Like they say, the end is also the beginning. (who is the they that I am referring to? I have no idea myself.Hahahahaha..silly me)

Mission Possible
It has been 13 days since I last talked about my mission to lose 3kg and shed 4 cm off my waist. I have to admit that nothing has been done. ARGH!!! It's like the more I pressure myself to lose the extra pounds, the more I will eat. The other day, I really had a feast. Mak bought some Malay kuehs for me to eat. ( 6 pieces to be precise. Well, they were the mini version.) I finished them all by myself. Then I ate one whole banana. I finished it all by myself. Then Fizah offered to buy me ROTIBOY, which I also finished all by myself and lastly, Aiza bought me some snacks-on-sticks from OLD CHANG KEE, which I again finished everything - by myself. ARGH!!! Now you know what I mean. It is not healthy! Everything is so oily! No wonder I get lethargic almost everyday! My stamina is getting from bad to worse and I am sleepy half of the time. How can I perform my best when I don't feel my best? How can I feel my best when I don't eat in order to give me sufficient energy? ARGH!! This is bad. Ok, this is one crisis I need to tackle immediately.
Mission

Good nite, good people of the world!

One of those Saturdays.





This one on top here is Sabrina. No, she is not a teenager neither is she a witch. Hahahahahahaha...She is very opinionated. Well, it really depends on how you look at it. The characteristic can be both good AND bad. It really depends on the situation. She loves cats as well.And yes guys, this one is taken as well. She is constantly talking about how she needs to save up money for her wedding. Well, I guess it is ideal to get married as soon as you can. Kurangkan maksiat!

I assume you have seen this lady before. Yes, you are right. This is Aiza. She is the librarian friend of mine. The picture on top is one of her "Next America Top Models" pose. Hahahahaha...This one is scared of cats. You should see the look of horror and shock on her face when she saw the cat, which was sleeping by the way, on the counter of the river taxi booth. Hahahahaha...And yes boys, this one is single and available.
Aaah..what a well-spent Saturday! Now I am feeling darn tired. I need my beauty sleep. Thank you Allah for blessing me with such great, awesome friends who has made my otherwise routine weekend more exciting and enjoyable. Amin.
14 days to my departure
I can finally start counting down the days before I embark on my teaching career. I am both nervous and excited but afraid as well. My colleagues at work are really making use of my presence till the very last minute. I still have to follow up on my devices. It is just so annoying still. But I guess it's only fair, right? I mean I hope to be able to "slack" more towards the end of my time serving SCS.
My heart is feeling a little heavy whenever I think about leaving SCS. Most of all, I am going to miss spending time with my two brothers, Abang and Abang Fitri. They were the ones who made my time in SCS more enjoyable and bearable. My days were made brighter because of these two people, especially Abang. I am hoping to hear the "good news" - his good news before I leave. I want to be able to share the same joy and see the look of satisfaction, relief and pride on his face. The whole family is proud of him for his achievements. I sincerely hope that he and I can still be very close even after I leave for the career of my choice. I know I am going to miss SCS - eventhough I have mostly unhappy memories there. Anyways, LP was being really annoying. As usual, she was expediting her stupid device namely I5823A0KPB-5. Usually, this device is quite smooth sailing. During testing, it does not usually give as much problem as most of the other devices. She doubted the factory's capability and in turn was also doubtful of my capability to follow up on the devices. In the end, we did manage to ship the darn parts yesterday. I was ecstatic! I just had to send out an email to the factory to thank them on their good perfomance - and I did. Good job guys and girls!
