"Kanak-kanak Ribena"

For the past few weeks, it has been a whirlwind experience. Finally I felt myself running the show again. Our team had welcomed a member of the "order" and that was the joyous day of my life.

I didn't know what to expect out of this person,  I've got a  saying that "she is a tough cookie, she's great and stern, she's a fast learner"... that was not an issue to me. My main  concern is... will she be comfortable enough to feel welcomed by the whole room.

Sound blared up and there was havoc in the office. I see people rounding up at the corner of the room. I felt weird. Walked in and there they were. The two of them.... Oh, I forgot... the other team also add a new team member.  What I can say is... "WOW" when you put these two girls together.... all the fun and bubbly character emerges. It gave a positive energy in the air.*I like* Tetiba rindukan IBM 19.....

I hope I can just maintain this energy so that the surrounding would have a good enjoyable environment for these people to work in.... *now I feel like crying with joy*

Updates about my so-called Emotions!!!!

This past weeks, I have been roaming around town just to revisit all the places that I have been before this. Bukit Bintang, Ampang, KLCC, TAR Road and Chaokit Road are just some of the places that I've been to.... the furthest that I've gone to such as KLIA, LCCT, Putrajaya, Kajang, Bangi, and some parts of Shah Alam....My goodness, I never thought that the road can be so compact and hectic. Nowadays, I travel to work which will occupy about 2 hours of my time to and fro.... I do feel like I'm going back to my home town in Dong, Pahang.

Moving on....

"Sehari kurasa sebulan
Hatiku tiada tertahan
Ku pandang kiri
Ku pandang kanan
Dikau tiada
Risau...." ~Jeritan Batinku, P Ramlee

I've been receiving a lot of invitation on weddings, friends, close relative, family, long distance friend, collegues, ex-collegue... you name it, I received it all. I thank you all for sending those invitations, and there are some that I was unable to go, my deepest apologies. I just couldn't cope with a lot of pressure.... What? What do I mean by pressure...? Having people coming up to you and asking you about getting married, the lucky fella and all those crap.... I would have to just say, I would have to gather a lot of strength to actually face the music and the crowd. Going through those moments makes me feel more desperate to find a suitor. Bugger!!!!!

I wish I have more to say... I wish I was as good as before.... as it was when I wrote "Coffee Theory about Self-Reflection!!!" created on "Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 5:59pm"....Until then... I have to brush up making-my-homework skills and  gather more information in order to write something as good as that.

Rasanyer betul ker aper yang mereka habaq ni?

Books... Books.... Oh How I Miss 'em....

Hmmm...It has been like forever since the last time I blogged in. Well today it was a better day than other days, for me... The sky was a bit cloudy, not to mention the environment was a bit laid back. Now I found myself a bit more relax doing (whatever that I'm doing) in the office...

As strolled from page to page on the 'www', it has taken me back to my past reading materials. I came across a few remarkable authors along the way... Sidney Sheldon, Deepak Chopra, Mitch Albom, Dan Brown, Cecilia Ahern, Harriet Evans, and JK Rowlings together with Nicholas Spark books, these are my most favorite authors of all time. Mind-boggling, I must say.

It has always fascinated me as I have always wondered how these people do their home work before starting to write books. I have watched a documentary on JK Rowlings as she reeling the watchers her 17 years work on ending the Harry Potter chronicles. It is amazing when you watch them and listen to how they answered each and every question for the documentary, using big chunk of words that you don't even know exists in the dictionary.

Another author that I admire most is the late Sidney Sheldon. I read this one book called "Tell Me Your Dream"(1998), it is about three young women Toni(outgoing singer and dancer), Alette(sweet and shy artist) and Ashley(workaholic) have nothing in common, and yet 'sticks' together. Ashley became very paranoid of herself, until one day she got arrested by the police on charge of murder. Well, might be she was wrongfully accused. For those who haven't ready the book, I'm not giving away the surprise, you would have to read it yourself, kay...tee hee hee... The storyline was so interesting, it had me gripped to the book. This 363 page book took me 1 full day to finish it, when it usually takes me about 3 days to finish. Hats off to the ol' man I'd say.

 

The other book that I have read was "Tuesdays with Morrie"(1997) by Mitch Albom. This story is interesting because how the writer describe his bond with his former retired professor, Morrie Schwartz. Basically this is a memoir of the beloved professor. The writer wrote that contacted his professor after one night when he sees Morrie being interviewed television. Morrie has a deteriorating terminal disease. He was already in a wheelchair. And so, the writer sets back to where Morrie was in his last few months and spends time with him. He is yet to discover that there are a lot more that he needs to learn. One quote that I love most from this book, 'Quoting Morrie's favorite poet, W. H. Auden, he insisted to "love each other or perish"'.

 

I also remembered my dad and I use to read together "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams (based on Creating Affluence)" by Dr.Deepak Chopra book, when I was thirteen, fourteen years old. The material is as heavy as the title. As you all know, being a teenage is like all-hell-break-loose between parents and their kids. Somehow, my dad was able make me see things in different perspective and make me understand more about life. Books were definitely the ice breaker to my adolescence years as reading kept me grounded.

Each of the books that I've read are precious to me, it taught me to open my eyes widely and understand how world have impacted each and everyone who reads. It takes your mind into imagining things, places, in other words an open door to all possibilities. Anything is possible by reading.

A little something, something...

Sorry guys for not posting for several weeks now... As all of you have known, these past couple of weeks I was quite sick, a bit delusional due to the high fever and bad cough. I even lost my voice. Some say it was troublesome to actually listen to every word that I say since I was literally whispering to them.

Thank god that I manage to rebound out of the sickness, gain back my voice and try to move on with my life day by day. I can say that my days were full of ups instead of downs. I totally have my share when things doesn't fall into place, I got isolated... I thought I could hide it until somebody actually come up and ask me of it. I didn't realize that it was that obvious to their naked eyes.

Oh well, it was a part of the daily experience. I can't force everybody to like me. As my dad always reminded me, "keep an arm's distance from your friends"... I can relate to what he is trying to teach me, and I bet you daddies out there can relate to this.... Most dad will remind their child/children that they are not going to be here forever, correct each mistakes you made, protect you from harm and heal those broken hearts. But they'll teach you how to be firm, wise/intelligent, loving and street smart... You may not like the idea of having strict parents, but they'll be the voices in your head until the day you die and will always keep you grounded.

I cannot even imagine without them or loosing neither of them. While I was ill, I sat down with my dad, going through my meds and doing some catching up, out of the blue, comes the big question.... Have you found a suitor for yourself? Looking into his eyes, I was quite certain he is worried that his only daughter will not be settling down anytime soon... Nothing much for me to say really except for "none so far, find for me one*chuckles*"... Pitiful, right... Anyway, I can't believe that he still ask about Razman and all.... Speechless from my side.

Moving on:: As soon as I was well, I was completely, utterly hopeless and broke...Not to mention, how much I missed singing whenever I was down and pathetically lonely... Yes, people... Lonely!!!! It is not a crime to admit oneself is lonely, all of the sudden. I do have a strong feeling that I am not at all good at keeping my man(if I ever to get one)...Anyway, everyday is a new start... and I want to spice up my life a bit... So, the word change is so yesterday, people.... Re-vamp is more likely. 

Honestly speaking... I have completely no idea where to start....Any ideas, guys?

Playing by ear....? Kidding is it?

I was just browsing through the You tube and came across this piece, "Wang Lee Hom - Ni Bu Zhi Dao De Shi", piano by Ray Mak.... somehow moved me. I know that I can never play a song this good on a piano without a sheet to read....Hmmm, I miss playing so much..... It has been so long since I'd played, a lil out of practice....

This is another song played ny Ray Mak, the song "Wedding Dress -  Taeyang" it is also a song which soothes me....The chords looked easy, until he got into the 1st verse.... when he reached the Chorus and Bridge.... the song is so moving, it just to me awe and completely gaga over it....Props to this man for coming up with the arrangements for all the song he played....

Kalut.... kalut...
