Pressure??​.......

'No pressure....no pressure...' I kept on telling myself no pressure......most of the time, when ever I feel so out of my skin, I motivate myself......trying very hard to stay positive on my daily life.....however, I can say for certain, we all are human....it is natutal to have such insecure feelings......

Whenever I feel down....I will either go out and be by myself..... Or look for friends to divert the emotions / down time during that moment..... It can just be about anything..... I know myself.....Thank god that I'm not crazy....or you can say, "Emotionally-challenged".....I am quite comfortable to talk things out when I'm ready to talk....

What I can say about these things happening around me, incidents, situations, people breaking-down, you name it....I've seen most of the cases(the only thing I've never seen before when a person's break-down, and created an alter ego, or should I say, bi- or multi-personality syndrome because of it)..... I am not and expert on all these things but it works for me to be able to open up and no strings attached....

There are times, when ever I stand up(where ever I am) and watch the people that surrounds me... I am grateful each day that I am sane and still holding myself together.... Alhamdulillah....

He's back!!!! (...or maybe)

Hmmm....I called one of my close friends in Batang Kali.... just drop by to say hi and catch up a few things.... She is great and wonderful during those times when we worked together in Vads.... those were the times we had late nights and drive until morning... only the three of us...(Lieza, Zam and myself).....

Anyway... she was telling me that she came down to KL and had spend time with her siblings watching movie in OU last week.... she thought she saw my EX came out of the cinema....I asked her for all the details, she said that he was with a bunch of friends and was there for the same movie as she was....

I told her probably he came back to KL for a while to have his holiday*perhaps*....(scary thing if he comes back and look for me.... that is a scene that I don't want to get into).....I said my good byes once everything had settled with Lieza, comforting myself not to worry about this thing....

I kept on saying to myself that nothing will happen... nothing will make him come and look for me.... Besides... he started the whole 'unfaithful' issue with me, going all psycho and accusing me for something I did not do...it was not my fault for taking such drastic measures towards the chap.

I hate admitting this but there are good times being with him and I miss that in the my 4-years-relationship... But life has to go on.... that had become apart of my own memory to treasure...Boy, the news about him being in KL gave me goosebumps.... Thank god that I was no longer working in TTDI anymore....Since it was for his own good, I hope he can forgive me for what I did and move on too.... :'(

Apa nya kawan.....?!

Aku nak cuba faham sorang kawan aku ni.... dia baru berpisah dgn laki dia... hubungan depa dah 3 tahun lebih .... boleh katakan kukuh gak lah hubungan diorang ni.....tah naper tah... aku tak tau nak cakap macam mana lah kan.... depa berpisah cara paksa.... mesti korang nak tau aper kaitan dgn aku kan?.....

Aku tak de kaitan dgn hubungan diorang... cuma kawan aku ni kenal laki dia dari aku, pastu lantak pi lah nak bawak hubungan tu ketepi ketengah..... Aku rasa sepanjang 3 tahun ni... aku mmg kiranye "outsider" lah dalam hubungan diorang.... kawan2 laki dia kengkawan aku gak tapi jadi kawan rapat kawan aku ni....


Anyway....Bebaru ni depa break-up(aku tak nak tau punca nye aper) rasanye yang paling teruk dalam sejarah depa lah.... this time for certain a final break up.... Aku memang kept diri aku away from them....The last time, kawan aku ni break up, I drop everything kat office and lari gi umah dia nak cuba settlekan.... sebabnye... dia tak nak laki dia balik dia nak tejun tgkt 7 umah dia.... itu baru kata mabuk cinta.....pasal nak break, sanggup nak terjun bangunan......aduyay.... Nak je aku kata masa tu otak bijak pandai sume letak kat lutut....

Lepas incident tu, aku dah jadi orang asing dan lain.... That inceident was several months ago....pastu depa couple balik.... meradang tak meradang aku kat sini diorang ni buat perangai....this time aku pilih utk keep away.... boleh comfort tapi tak macam dululah.... mengarut jer depa buat perangai macam tu.... Aku pun rasa perangai aku makin berubah sebabkan incident tu gak....semalam message aku, aku mmg tak nak jawab sebab aku rasa dia kene cari(figure out) jalan sendiri... dia tak perlukan aku...

Tadi message lagi, kali ni nak emotional dgn aku....kata aku macam mak dia lah... abaikan dia lah....tak nak tanya pasal kabar dia lah.... baru sekarang nak cari aku lah,kan...Aku rasa itu dah agak melampau lah kan.... Berasap gak lah mata aku baca message dia tadi.... (Baru sekarang ko nak cari aku.... masa enjoy2, pandai lak cari kawan2 laki ko... kawan2 ofis.... bila sedih2 laki ko buat perangai, datang cari aku.... aku mmg suka jadi safety net orang ni....)

Ada gak lah aku tanya dia balik sekiranye dulu, masa2 yang aku perlukan dia, diberikan pilihan antara aku dgn laki dia, dia akan gi ke laki dia dulu and selesaikan masalah dia, pastu baru attend, aku tak cakap per pun.... nak sangat ngungkit kan..... pastu nak go psycho on me kata dia hilang semua orang...malas aku nak layan emo dia....Aku bagitau yang aku akan berterus terang and I won't hold back.....ko nak sakit ker... ko nak tertonggeng ke... nothing can make u feel any better, gurl.... living in denial is not at all the way of living...u just have to grow up and face the f*cking music....

Yes, u can cry and grief a little.... tapi sampai bila ko nak feel down....? Let me ask u this lah....despite what ever ko nak wat dgn wall ko... ko nak delete ker? ko nak anta sneering messages ker? Ada aku kisah.... no more tears and stand up.... u have to do it yourself.... bukan aku, bukan mak ko, bukan famili ko.... nobody but by yourself.... Kalo ko ketegaq sangat kata ayat2 aku ni too harsh... then... you don't deserve me within your group of friends.....

The Farewell Email to My IBMers

Dear All my remaining agents,

As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”

For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.

I would especially like to thank all of you generally: in an age where miscommunication is all too common, you consistently impressed and inspired me with the sheer magnitude of your misinformation. It takes a strong person to admit his/her mistakes - it takes a stronger person to attribute his/her mistake to me.

Over the past two years I’m in the TL position, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with a team with various and colourful habits- it became an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily matters, over problems, over issues.

I hate saying goodbye. But I'm trying to focus on all the fun times we've had over the last ~ who-knows-how-many years, and those memories are giving me some comfort. I like being able to look back on something and smile, and that's what I think I'll always be able to do with us.

Here are my personalized notes of farewell to those still remaining under the company:

To Najib, Huda, Rauhah, Yani, Dibah, F.Nadiah, Edra & Intan:  your wit, wisdom, minds and advices had proven me wrong and pushes me to be more mature for my ‘young’ age.

To Wani: Congrates new mama….too bad that I wouldn’t be seeing you when you come back from your maternity leave.

To Aminur: Congrates to for making one of the new RTFMs on the floor…I am so happy you finally move.

To Ain and Sumaiyah:  Thank you for all those times and making every arrangements possible.

To Anizan, Azri, Fitri and Farhan:  Thank you for all those crazy times you all challenge me with the "Major" issues during early of this year….. It took a while for me to pull you back into the right track….. all-in-all, trust me when I say it’s all worth it.

To Ayuni and Rosmanirah:  Don’t stop being your selves, I trust you have the willpower to become somebody, follow your instincts, and you’ll be just fine.

And finally; To Hushmee and Munirah:  My two power couple and current team-leads, thank you for believing me and pulled through for me all those times when I entrusted you both to secure the team with informations, acknowledgements and tasks.

I know that each of you either want to move up, or move out towards a better job.  Each and every one of you all have your own potential and don’t let other people tell you otherwise. Remember all the advices that I gave during our team meeting with Murni Manja….Please don’t ever forget….ok… Stick together and take care of each other. I do not want to hear any complaints regarding any one of you during this segregation period.

So, in parting, due to this new job, opportunity like this comes along only once in a lifetime. (Meaning: if I had to work here again in this lifetime, I would sooner kill myself.) This isn't a forever goodbye. While I don't know exactly when we'll see each other again, I do know that it will happen. Please keep in-touch and can be reached at my personal email address (reika.megumi83@gmail.com). In the meantime, let's both try to focus on the positives in this situation, ok?....

Very truly yours,

Farrah Noreen

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

--Gilda Radner

This is exactly how I feel... now....very vunerable......

Terrified lyricsSongwriters: Dioguardi, Kara; Reeves, Jason;


You, by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right

Finally made it through the lonely
To the other side

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life

And this could be good
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back

I could be all that you need
If you let me try


You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only

I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only

Am I wrong....?

When the says, "We live in the circle of life", or "Life is like the wheel, you can never know when you'll be at the bottom".... Pretty much I feel myself being at the bottom of the pit.....Too much things happening for the past week.... and so little time to complete it.... I see myself invisible, no where near to any prizes if there are any....

All I wanna say here is I lost..... I didn't get what I wanted... it was not meant to be mine anyway.... What I can do here is pray that everything is gonna be ok... everything is gonna be fine.... Oh... how I adore Julia Robert's character in "My Bestfriend's Wedding"...... from the beginning until the very end.... I felt that was me.... I really do.... and it is sad to be that "always the bridesmaid never the bride" kinda thing...

Sad sob story of mine will go on and on and on and on.............I know it is not wrong to adore people.... Am I right?? Right??? Right???? Still figuring out God's will and hopefully soon to hear(listen)....
