Biggest Loser

"Yes, I'm fat, but you are ugly. At least I can diet". Penah baca statement tu kat kete sape ntah... macam cool je... hihi...

Ye... semalam ada kawan tanya, how's life... as always, pertanyaan sedemikian akan dijawab 'ok, nothing to be proud of'. Then it takes me to think a while, betul ke takde pape untuk di proud of? Ye la, tak sambung belajar, tak kawen lagi, tak dapat anak lagi, dan berbagai lagi la yg belum...

Tetiba datang idea... eh.. I should be proud of myself la... penat aku menjaga diri, menjaga makan dan exercise 6 bulan ni, dan menurunkan 12 kilo... takkan la tak bagi peluang kat diri yg takde pape ini berasa happy dan takbur sket... Jadi, kesimpulannya, I have somethin to share with, I manage to be 12 kg thinner than last 6 months. =)

Happy??? of course... got another kgs to be cincang!!!

What should I do to marry a rich guy?

Just wanna share a hilarious story. Wink wink... (credit to Hafizul for forwarding this).

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here.
I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to
marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered
only as middle class in New York .
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an
income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems
that this is my upper limit.
If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west
of New York City Garden ( ? ) , $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and
addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2) Which age group should I target?

3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few
girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to
marry rich guys.

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your
girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

An awesome reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls
out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to
analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I
hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry
you.

The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of
"beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for
it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my
money will not be gone without any good reason.
The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be
prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am
an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just
normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only
asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating
with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to
keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It
might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any
assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date
you, but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy.
And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with
$500k annual income.
This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do
contact me.

The week is over...

Yesterday, I'm talking through the phone with my Ex-Boss. Brief her what I'm doing, basically the same task in previous company with some few more additional tasks. Ironic but funny advice from her "don't show it all, or you'll have to do it all". But you did that to me last time kan???

Me, Friendship, Ignorance and SUGGESTION PLEASE...

More than 2 months ago, I received a wonderful parcel from a wonderful friend of mine.

I love the content of the parcel, I love it until I don't have the courage even to say thanks. Yes, please be mad of me for the act of ignorance to the kindness of a friend. I love the content of the parcel. I just love the book. I read every page of it carefully, read it word by word, digest it slowly and try to embrace every mean it could bring. It just wonderful.

I don't mean to be ignorance by not saying thanks, I just keep wondering what is the best way to say thanks. I'm afraid to call since she is very busy. I don't have beautiful words to text her, and I don't have ample time to come down and straight away go to her office. But I want to let her know that she is one of the special friend that I'll remember.

My fellow friends,
Could you please suggest any possible way for me to say thanks to her? Or maybe a phone call suffice?

P/S: For having a quite bearable life here, I miss my wonderful FRIENDS.

Why I Read Karim Raslan

With his 3rd anthology in my hand, now I'm ready to share why I read his write-ups.

1. It's fun. You'll find information and wits in an article or short stories.

2. It's simple. He needs only a few pages or half a page column (in paper) to share with us his point of view. For a lazy bump like me, who care less bout details, this is SIMPLY AWESOME.

3. Patriotism. Most of his write ups tell about Malaysia or Asia. The subject matter is very familiar and while he compare with his other half blood, it seems justified. Not too boot licking and yet not too resistance.

4. Superb vocabulary. He is a lawyer and half blood English. What else can I say.

5. Balance. Like point No 3, there is a sense of balance in his articles. I can't help feeling contempt reading his articles.

6. Metaphor. Not only Dr. House M.D knows how to use metaphor (how I wish Dr. House really exist!).

I guess enough for now. I don't think my friends want to know this, but I believe some credit should goes to Mr. Karim Raslan for writing such a cool articles. (His brother, Kam Raslan also write and have same kind of wits in his writing).

Dam Dam DUm... Bunyi Mercun

Wee...

Dapat cuti lama...

For the first time, dapat cuti lama untuk hari raya...

HAPPY!!!!

Picture courtesy from: WMLIU

Before, I always have to be in the office on the 3rd raya coz most of my colleague is married. Since I'm single, I'm the best candidate to be office decoration on the 3rd raya. Usually there will be living 'pharmacopoeia', a few non-muslim staff, and a few unfortunate staff like me. As everybody know, though we are there, nothing much can be done. Teamwork!!! No work without a team. Get it??? Plus, we are still in lemang mood, talking about hari raya, gossiping, and laze around since the boss was not around... hihi

Here, my boss don't have to 'kipas'ing anyone, thus, I am free to take leave. My boss said 'You can take ur work home if you wanted to, but you have to prepare some Raya Cookies as well... '. Ngengenege.... Thanks Boss for being very considerate.

Selamat Hari Raya to all...

Thousand apology for all the wrong-doing, wrong-saying and wrong-intention. Hope this Raya will bring much much more happiness and joy to your life.

Life is short. Like pakcik said 'ambik yang baik-baik saja'...

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin.

Sincerely,
::Syaja:: the blog owner

Finally I Found You...

After a long journey, at last I found you... Journey through South East Asia... Again I was fascinated and mesmerized by him, his writing, and his wit. This long years of yearning of his writings really worth it... Ceritalah 2 : The Journey Through SEA meets my expectation. I can't wait to read the third one, Ceritalah 3 : Malaysia A Dream Deferred.

Why I love his writing? Will be explained in later episode of 'not so rajin of me to blog since I'm quite occupied here'. :D

Till then, Ramadhan Mubarak.Thank you DeviantArt.

P/S: And it was a beautiful weekend, thank you for your hospitality and thank you for making my day. Din, why la tak bgtau u canceled iftar at ur uncle's? Look forward to meet many others...

Mesej Khidmat Masyarakat - H1N1

Kepada sesiapa yang ada simptom-simptom URTI (Upper Respitory Tract Infection), atau ayat mudah nye sakit batuk-batuk, selsema, demam, sakit tekak, dan sakit badan:

1. Sila dapatkan khidmat perubatan (klinik, hospitak, klinik desa, etc)
2. Minum air banyak-banyak
3. Makan buah banyak-banyak (epal hijau & oren)-to get enough of vitamins. it can't hurt, but might help
4. Minum susu
5. Stay away from trouble - tak payah la nak pegi tempat sesak2 a.k.a pasar malam
6. Kalau doktor kasik antibiotik, makan sampai abis.
7. Ingat semua jenis ubat yg dimakan sepanjang tempoh sakit, in case dokter nak buat reference...
8. Doa banyak-banyak...

7 Wasiat Raja Melayu

At times when more and more Malaysian are infected with H1N1 virus, local media kept themselves busy with 7 wasiat? Local authority still busy with their "political campaign" (read - bullshitting)? People are dying... Do something!!!

Valuable Lesson

Receive a valuable lesson from an anonymous uncle at Pasar Pagi...

I was asking at the hawker, why the apples got hole... And this uncle next to me said... "pilih yang elok-elok saja".

Well... he got the point. Why complaint if you still have the option. And the option, join him to find good apples.

Life is so like that...

Product Gagal!!! Tertekan!!!!

Mendapat pesanan yg agak luar biasa:
1. Spongebob
2. Rama-rama
3. Bebas



Namun... It turns out not so well because it is my first time with the method. Guess my sis would agree.
Some I would say OKlaaa, but other some is so serabut. Argh... Wish I could buy some more time.

I like the jelly thing. So nice and colorful.

My post-moterm report will be:

1. Too much element
2. No clear concept
3. Not consistent

CUPCAKES!!!

This is my recently develop favorite past time. Not much bout baking or eating, but decorating. This is for Puan Dura, hope you enjoy it.

While these are for the customer. The theme is pink, so please let it be pink. Bukan kehendak fikiran. :p

Hopefully this pics enough for Nas to drool, enough for FJ and Anne who need updates, enough for Pelukis Itu for art evaluation and ... To Choco Foutain, D3mon|c, and Tenno, Insya-Allah, ada hari turun sana, I'll bring some for you...

P/S: The towkey complaint... takde nama die... You can always browse to her blog to check out more cuppies. Business adik beradik... hehehe

My New Experience in New Place

Working here is very "new". From biotech, I made a nice U-turn to pharmaceutical industry in which, I have zero knowledge in it. It is a GAMBLE.

I start to crack my head. I know I’m starting late. I blame it on me cause I was busy, completing jobs from previous company. Stupido me. But, hey... it’s me.

I start to learn scientific name of the drugs we usually consumed, like Mefenamic Acid for Ponstel (usually pronounced as Ponstant). I start to flip flop the USP... Thanks to Mademoiselle Head of QC, for introducing me with USP and teach me how to make use of this “thick boring book that contains a lot of information but can bring you to sleep”. I start to do a lot of thing that once in previous company I was so thankful that I did not have to bother about it like meeting with suppliers, dealing with finance, reviewing documents, etc. Rasakan sendiri... LOLZ to me-self.

It is experience of a lifetime. Hopefully this move will bring me benefits and lots of new adventure.

Welcome Tenno!!!
D3mon|c & Ibu Adam, your time will come. oh... And also Choco Fountain, and also Mama Nana, and also ... (the list continue i guess).

Anonymous Lawyer

In awe with Anonymous Lawyer. Funny and witty. Must read for those who loves sarcasm. Visit his website as in ::The Writers::.

Thanks to FJ for the book.

Looking forward to read "The Man In Iron Mask".

Pasar Pagi @ Pasar Cina

Near to my house, there is Pasar Pagi, or people call it here as 'Pasar Cina' because most of the penjaja are Chinese. It takes less than 10 mins walking from my house to get to Pasar Pagi.

The Pasar Pagi is more or less like pasar malam, but less ready made food (nasi lemak, ayam goreng, murtabak, apam balik and stuff). Here, they sell very fresh veggie and fruits, poultry and two or three stalls selling ready made breakfast.

To my amusement, they also sell strawberries, cherries, nectarine, lemon and some rare vegie. It is so fresh as compared to supermarket. Even the price is cheaper, if I were to compare the price with KL price.

(Yes... I googled the pics. Manala tau lupa rupa cherry macam mana.. wink wink)

Oh... here, they sell the best Tau Fu Fa!!! Come come, I belanja makan tau fu fa and soya milk.

The Pasar Pagi is there since before I were born. I remember following my late Tok (grandma) to pasar. That time I was so happy if Tok bring me to pasar. And now, I accompany my Mummy to pasar every morning (o_o)v. Though I am not as excited visiting pasar pagi as I were a kid, but I still like pasar pagi very much.

The idea of Pasar Pagi is very practical. There should be MORE pasar pagi to cater the need of fresh foods for healthy citizen!!!

Now, here I am

After a week, I think I've got my license to say what I feel about my new job.

Of course, there are SO MANY things I miss in my old company, but I have to live in present kan...

My routine activities is getting better (at least in this 2 weeks). I can wake up voluntarily without the alarm ringing, healthier foods, more time to read and etc.

While my job scope, is far wider that I expected. I don't know how I'm going to go about it, but I have to give it a try.

I have 3 different boss, with 3 different mentality regarding the project. Yay... as always.

I miss my friends back then in my previous company. So many faces and memories. Especially my Makan2 mate, my Alamanda mate, my Clark mate, my Biggest Loser mate, my Reading mate erm... my Walkie-Talkie mate, my Futsal mate, my Gossip mate, my Apple mate and the list goes on.

And here, besides I have to start all over again, I believe it is going to be different.

The view here is great! On the hilltop. But I still miss KLIA. The place I ran to whenever I think I have no place to go and hid big self.

Shouldn't I write about my new job?

Anyway, I'm adapting with my new job, and environment. The rest, is memories. But friendship remains, whenever we are.

New Day

My new day, at new place with new faces...

Owh... pagi tadi kene tahan polis on the way nak pegi keje... Apahal!

VENTING

I'm leaving...
So? What' s the big deal?

You want me to feel more miserable? Is that gonna make you happy? Are you happy now?

Leaving makes me feel miserable enough. I don't need any MSG to add to the original taste of LEAVING.

Make fun of it... Sure... Hell sure... In the end of the day, I'm ME-MYSELF-WHO-EASILY-GET-VERY-VERY-ANGRY!!!!

And don't anybody dare to tell me to leave that blue jacket here. Of course I'll leave it coz I don't want it. I even use my OWN stationery. Don't crack me that kind of stupid damn annoying jokes on my face when me myself is trying hard to get hold of myself.

Of course leaving is a happy things to do; but I'm still human full with emotion. Don't easily assume that I don't feel anything.

AND PLEASE STOP ANNOYING ME!!!
Let me with my few days be here in peace.

AND

So many things to share, yet too lazy to write.

and so confused

and so don't now what to do

and wish I could buy some more time

and wish it could be happening very soon

and hope I could ease the burden

and hope to release from this spell

and to be what I am

and to search the old me

and to venture new self

and all

becoming the confused me

for yesterday, now and tomorrow

COUNT DOWN!!!

So hard to let go,

So fragile to hold,

Life;

Full of surprises.

HAPPY

And The Result..

Unrequited love in Bangkok

Had a very very short visit to Bangkok. If it is not for the company, won't take that very short trip.

The trip was very short, but I fell in love. And I believe I would never find the same love as the one I found in Bangkok.

Though the memories together was very limited, but the deep feeling linger in my heart.

Wish we could be together, but it just a dream. A lot of restriction. Time, budget, and guilt. Don't want to be blame for leaving the old love behind.

It just me.

Thus, I have to let the picture of my love faded with the sweetest memories of Bangkok.

Picture taken with my love.

Been a while...

It's been a while... Away... from blogspot.

Life - ok.

Work wise - ok.

Health - ok.

Everything - ok.

So... what more?

Nothing to rumble da ramba...

Life as it is... =)

Praying and wishing for the blessing from above. And may thing gets better with time.

Holding On

In the end of the day, it is always you yourself to hold on to.

Smile Of A Stranger

Divine beaut in the smile of a stranger;
That passed by me;
In a glimpse of the shadow;

Appear;

Disappear;

Vanish with the sweetest memory of life.

Nasihat dari Jepun

Kalau salah, jadi fitnah.
Kalau betul, jadi umpat.

DISTURBED 04

Today should be my day, but it turns out to be my 'disturbed' day. All the energy and smiles flush to the drain. Thanks to the Almighty for keeping my sanity at the time, I urgently need it to face the audit next week.

Anyway... Enjoy the story. Cut and paste from Inspiration Peak. Pathetic I am indeed need to find consolation through reading all this motivation articles. Like... who cares isn't?

I'm a Ham radio operator and spend some time working with radios and electronics. So when I heard this story it really made me think! I hope that you will find some application in your own life as well... A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement shack with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it. I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know, the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles". I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say. "Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital." He continued, "Let me tell you something, Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of "a thousand marbles." "You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years." "Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3,900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now stick with me Tom, I'm getting to the important part." "It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail," he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy." "So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1,000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away." "I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight." "Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time." "It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again." You could have heard a pin drop on the radio when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter. Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles."

In addition;

If we are not happy and joyous at this season,
for what other season shall we wait
and for what other time shall we look?

Abdul-Bahai

Nvm, it just a sweet reminder for me self. Wish me luck!!!

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Long Holiday to frens.
