the day i have been recommended to watch "conversations with other women"

an online friend of (+/-) 3+ years or so, ken, from l.a. (as in lebuh ampang? hehee... nah!) recommended me to watch "conversations with other women". it seems that the meetup with rizal recently really reminds him of that movie... hah! unfortunately too bad that its an explicit movies i do not think it can be released here. furthermore its actually of a 2005' production, and it has been released in cinemas in november 2006 anyway hmm... unless if ken can find a way to send me a copy of the dvd ;)

conversations with other women

synopsis

an encounter between two people with a shared past and conflicting futures is played out on a split-image screen in this offbeat drama. an unnamed man (aaron eckhart) and woman (helena bonham carter) are enjoying drinks and cigarettes in a hotel room after attending the wedding of a mutual friend. at first, the two seem to be playing a flirtatious game, as he cheerfully but confidently advances toward her, and she seems at once attracted and put off by his bravado. their pas de deux is shot and edited in split screen, with his image appearing in one half of the divided frame and hers appearing in the other. as time wears on, the man and woman begin crossing their appointed boundaries, and in some sequences one half of the frame represents the present while the other shows us events in the past. we learn that the man and woman had a tempestuous affair when they were in their late teens, and both are now committed to other people i.e. she has a husband, while he has a steady girl. how will the experiences of their past affect their present, and are they willing to betray their lovers for an evening's pleasure? 'conversations with other women' was the first feature film from director hans canosa. ~ mark deming, all movie guide

of making it short!

when i first saw my aunt mazian, as she arrived at TCB&TL in kl sentral last monday, i thought that her new appearance was really good and most importantly she even looks much younger than her age in one glance. while she was surprised too to see me who had cut my hair short as well. she complimented me for the new look, and that she knew that people would be surprised to know of my real age hehee...

well eventually like i mentioned here, i decided to cut my hair in december last year after thinking about it for quite some time. it has been about 2+ years since i last cut my hair then. so i thought to have some changes to it. i bumped in to rizal end of last year. he totally agreed when i asked for his opinion. besides that, he was the one who suggested me to re-colour my hair to my original colour. thanks to him that i feel more wonderful with this new hairstyle for 2009.

in fact i saw pinky at the recent nuffnang premiere screening of punisher: war zone, who eventually just got her haircut short also. you look gorgeous girl! i tell you what... even nicholas can't really recognize me. its because of my new hair i think. he told me that he thought of met me somewhere before but he can't seems to remember. wa lau ley... he was the one who handed me my RM100 mph voucher prize at nuffnang friso family day out! my hair was still long that time hehee...

one of the top trends of 2009 hairstyles is the razor cut bob where the hair drops to the shoulders. side parts and zigzag effects compliment this hairstyle. enhance it further with glittery hair picks and beaded accessories.

the vintage retro curls is one of those 2009 hairstyle that is making the rounds, so is the bed head that is quite suitable for thinner faces. for covering the face, the medium shag is the best bet. if you prefer the layered cut then you can either choose the choppy and defined cut or the multi-layer cut.

nuffnang premiere screening, punisher: war zone

first of all, thank you so much to nuffnang that i managed to secure a pair of tickets to nuffnang premiere screening of punisher: war zone. i was one of the lucky 50 nuffnangers who won this by writing a slogan “If I’m the punisher, I’ll punish… those people who damaged Gaza!” hehee... simple as that, huh?!!

so like before, i didn't just go to kl for the premiere screening. of course i got some other errands to do, so i did everything all together in one shot hence my one night kl trip this time was truly packed with quite a number of agendas. what a co-incidence that rizal was there too for work matters. so i took the chance to invite him along.

we were from the city. we had to drop by any of the stations along our way, cuz he has to do some work reports. since its gonna take a while, i just waited in the car. besides it was raining outside. the weather was rather good when we were reaching damansara area. earlier when rizal asked me of "how many tolls", i thought he was asking of how much is the toll charges. when were about to reach the toll near phileo damansara, i told him that the toll is about RM1. so tell me whether i was 'jakun' or not, when i saw him showed a receipt to the cashier. then i thought to myself, "oh no wonder ler... probably earlier he wanna prepare the receipts to get free tolls heheee..." but of course i didn't ask him, cuz i was acting to be smart lol...

and there's another incident at the cineleisure's car park when we reached there around 8.30 pm— rizal thought of just leaving his small bag in the car boot and asked me whether was it safe for him to leave it there. when asked, he told me that the contents were guns.

then i was like... "wheyyy... you better bring that with you ler!" *phew*

and walking with him especially when i knew that he carried guns, really make my heart beats faster like hell! i tell you...

so we went straight to the outpost cafe near the cineleisure to get the tickets. i saw quite a number of bloggers there. unfortunately i do not think i knew any of them. i was told by robb that bloggers were entitled to get 50% off on drinks there. i went back to rizal, who waited for me outside the cafe. he suggested that we went for dinner somewhere. we walked to little penang kafe at the curve. rizal ate char koay teow. while i had assam laksa, but rizal wallup it all since i can't finish it hmm... that just reminds me of our good 'ol days together weee... sorry guys... but being with an 'undercover' that night, i guess that he just ought to keep himself in disguise :) but he's already in his casual appearance... i dunno... we bumped in to timothy after dinner though, right in front of the little penang kafe.

anyhow i did snap some pics when we went back to the outpost cafe, but not as many as usual. rizal waited for me somewhere outside (again).

here's me with robb, taken by pinky

and pinky with me, taken by robb ;)

there were two SDU to secure the surrounded area from the punisher
p/s my friend rizal carried real guns that night you know? ;)

the punisher: war zone picks up 6 years into the punisher storyline. frank Castle (ray stevenson), a.k.a. the punisher, continues to enforce his vigilante style of justice on mobster families in order to get the bad guys that always find a way to beat the system. during an attack on a mob party, the punisher unknowingly murders an undercover fbi informant and later in the same attack, he severley disfigures the face of one of the leading mafia gangsters - billy "the beaut" russoti. this facial mutilation leads the gangster to proclaim his new villain name, jigsaw. these two events set up the plot of the film as the punisher learns of his wrongful kill and his ensuing remorse leads him to want to leave the punishing business, but he can't because the monstrous looking mobster jigsaw is alive and seeks revenge on the fbi informant's wife and child and revenge on the punisher for being the cause of his disfigurement. predictably, the dead fbi informant's wife and child get kidnapped by jigsaw and in order to save them a huge war-like battle ensues between the punisher and jigsaw's army of mobsters, gang-bangers, and thugs.

this film falls under the marvel knights brand which is basically the grittier and darker division of marvel comics. marvel knights products are intended for a maturer 15 years or older audience so that the stories and characters may be re-envisioned without the limitations on explicit content that are in place with the regular marvel brand. the punisher: war zone definitely exercised pulp style violence and gore to the point of gratuitousness. perhaps the excessive and gratuitous violence will create box office interest because overall the story was predictable, the script and acting was painful at times, and the film was 20 minutes too long. i would recommend this film if you are in the mood for a mindless shoot 'em up massacre, otherwise wait for the dvd so that you have the options of fast forward or doing something else while you watch it.

the death of A Fairos Ahmad Sulaiman

the death of A Fairos Ahmad Sulaiman, 37, from kampung temong hilir enggor, really saddened many people. it was so tragic. you can read more about it here as i do not have the guts to type it.

when i first knew it from one of uncle hashim's daughter' fb page, tears dropped from my eyes. although i was not very sure of who she (late Fairos) was, the news really makes me sad. i am sad of the way she passed away. ranong police only found the deceased after about a year she died. and the way she died is too hard to be accepted :(

so when i received a sms from my cousin juju (wan sayang's son) this morning, asking whether i have read the news about, "kawan kite FEROZ SULAIMAN mati dibunuh di Thailand!", that make me shocked! juju said 'kawan kite'. so i was trying hard to recall of who actually the friend of ours, while preparing for my kids' breakfast. my mind went hay-wire, what when thinking it was the most worst way of death argghhh!!!... it was so hard for me. suddenly i thought of kak feroz/fairuz(?) who was one of the pioneers at a local fast food restaurant here in kuale, together with us, including juju and i; about 20 years ago. kak feroz was working as a cashier. she was very helpful. she would helped her other colleagues if she was not busy with her work. she was a happy-go-lucky gal. i guess our team was the best of all. we worked happily together, with the rest like abang sham, hairi (rizal's big bro, now a teacher in ipoh), abang sani (now a chef if i'm not mistaken), kak lah, ramesh and also kay, to name a few. anyhow i replied juju to reconfirm about it. unfortunately he still didn't reply me yet to-date. he must be working or something now, that he's busy. i also sms rizal immediately and asked him to inquire more about this with his bro hairi and kak lah (rizal has their contacts).

gosh! i feel that my body is sooooo damn cold right now, thinking about this. maybe i shall update more on this when i received any news from any of the above people i know *peace*

updates:

• 10:17am; kay sms me just now. she asked whether i knew about kak fairoz's death. ya allah... that means she was really the kak fairoz i knew.
  
• 5:41pm; rizal called all the way from jb, to reconfirm that deceased was the same kak fairoz that we knew :(

to kak fairoz,
may the blessings of love be upon you,
may its peace abide with you,
may its essence illuminate your heart,
now and forever more,
blessing... amin.

our second day in kuching

Pretty Mommies was busy, so i managed my day with kiddos with our utmost simple way ourselves. i think we walked like 100s of kilometers today! *phew* anyway it was really fun you know.

we started our day by having a simple breakfast of great toast with coffee/tea and orange juice, plus watermelon courtesy of singgahsana lodge, located at its rooftop called "the sadau". sadau is an iban word for attic. i dunno that it also has a bar there, very nice place and ambiance to lepak. and as usual, they have a very nice deco of sarawak's culture. pool and foosball tables are also available there.

so basically we spent most of our times by walking around the sarawak river waterfront area, especially when a row of shops selling sarawak souveniers are just located around the corner. we walked from one shops to another, admiring sarawak's arts and culture. we were lucky to find out that artrageously, the art gallery by ramsay ong is actually a well known local artist. in fact he has also opened a new gallery in kl as well, at changkat bukit bintang. you people should drop by there someday, as ramsay ong's artworks were truly amazing indeed i tell you.

holiday trips ain't that good if we don't think of our loved ones back home. correct me if i am wrong. so i bought about five sarawak batik fabs for mama, grandmother and three very closed aunties; while for father and my lil' bro, i got them a batik shirt from sarawak each. i also bought a sarawak batik shirt for rizal. and guess what people? i put it to mail right away via pos ekspress' cardboard box (RM7.00) during our walks. i was lucky to find out that they do have such box. what i needed to do was just to unflatten the box. great! that i didn't have to wrap the shirt with brown paper first like i usually did for me to mail a package by poslaju. now rizal should get it by tomorrow. i just hoped that he will like it! :)

so for me, i bought two sarawak batik fabs too plus a set of orang ulu's patterned silk fabs. i ought that it should make a very nice set of baju kurung. i will definitely post some pics of it when its ready hehee...

we dropped by textile museum and chinese history museum, but we missed the sarawak state museum. i guess probably that time kids including myself were already hungry like crazy. we had our lunch at little lebanon, located at sarawak tourism complex. this restaurant offers a selection of intercontinental cuisines from arab to western and locals. i will make a special blog post on this as my f&b reviews.

we continued our walks back this time through the river waterfront. they have a ferry cruise and bot penambang service, but we do not intend to try it at all. as the evening past, kiddos were so excited to see mcD somewhere. we had some mcflurry and tapau-ed burgers for our dinner.

so i guess that's about it, our second day' kuching trip. as for tomorrow, i have booked a roundtrip shuttle service for us to damai/sarawak cultural village. we are so excited now, can't wait to go there. till then... mwahh!!! from me in cat city :D

i know that its his birthday today

gosh!... a special entry for him? *glurp*

well rizal called me this morning to menanya kabo... and at the same time, i guess he just wanna test me by asking of what day is it today... blimey! of course i remember. its rizal's 35th birthday today!

it'll always be an occasion that remains the reservoir of happy memories, lots of laughter and wholesome family fun! birthday is one of those occasions where the strong emotional bonds, warmth of heartfelt best wishes go beyond the barrier of language and sincere and cordial birthday wish always becomes successful in conveying with its true glory.

alles gute zum geburtstag!

PADA HARI YANG INDAH

this drama, has been screened on tv3 last tuesday, 9pm specially for merdeka. its about a malay family who always make sure that his children gathered at their hometown in kuala kangsar (ehem...) during the country's national day. this year the father was lucky that he got the chance to meet his childhood friends ah meng and raju. there were also some flash back of their life during malaysia's independence day in 1957.

most kampung (village) scenes were shot in kuale itself i.e. with places like our home (hehe...), yut loy, my school etc. people of kuale were kinda proud of it. ya... just imagine people, of all the places in malaysia, why on earth umno (yes! if you look at it properly, the whole idea of the drama was by umno) chose kuale.

rizal sms me that night, when we were watching the drama. it seems that he missed kuale so much, what when some of the shots were done here at home ;)

while to kay, i am so sorry sis. i forgot to tell you earlier about this. luckily you tuned in to tv3 that night ek? lol... in her sms, kay told me that she was so excited when suddenly she realized that it was actually our home in the drama :P

of merdeka eve

its merdeka's eve. i am at home, not out at somewhere. yes i am bored -- very. no surprise there. my parents are out. megat is sleeping. puteri and bah are sleeping too. haha i sound so emo. well at least i have the whole comp to myself? haha...

this day also marked rizal's 34th birthday. hah! some of you may know that he's my ex... now you know that he's actually a year younger than me ;)

i wasn't looking for a younger man and rizal wasn't looking for an older woman, but it just happened. our relationship was unique, because it's not just built on sex, but on trust, respect and love. in my opinion, age has nothing to do with our relationship. unfortunately there was a third person stood in between us. i hate to mention of whom was it (note: NOT gf or bf or something like that).

in our seventeen years friendship, to tell you people the truth, actually we have never had a serious problem and now... we are still very happy friend indeed i.e. both of us remember each other's birthday. strange or not, but its true -- that's us. in another word, we will remain friends. one of the people in our life who could really understand us, other than kay is hairy, rizal's brother. i guess rizal would be agree with me -- that we would like to thank these people from the bottom of our heart, for the fully understanding. we love you sooo much sis and bro! mwahh... we dunno of what would be happened without you two.

the day we celebrate in ipoh

it was pink & white in kl, while here in ipoh was grey. the kenduri this time was lovely. family, relatives and friends from all walks of life came from far and near, not forgetting the groom's relatives from grik who came by a few buses.

the best thing was that daniel's family all was so happy to meet our family too especially bah (grandmother) and my parents. why you asked? well... eventually their earlier generations till now were our neighbour! since they knew our family very well, i could see how kind they were to bah and my mom and dad... till they packed us three sets of the lauk-pauk. ada ka? lol... at first we were kinda shy. but on a second thought, since they have generously given the food to us, tak pe lar kan... hehe...

the bride entourage (including us) arrived at the hall around 1.15 pm. after i finished eating around 2.45 pm, i looked around, just to see in case i knew anyone there. i was so surprise when i saw hairy sitting at a table behind me. of course he was stunned too lol... so we chat like no one business. he also introduced me to his wife, "ini kuE (but of course he mentioned my real life nickname), jai punya". hmm... both of my big and round eyes turned more bigger. he smiled at me. the wife too. fyi people, hairy is rizal's elder brother ;) and what really a small world we could say - hairy's wife is daniel's (the groom) cousin! then... i thought that hairy will definitely tell rizal about it. my guess was right... that i received a sms from rizal on my way back home, asking about the meet with hairy :)

here's for my cousin azrina & daniel -

may this be the beginning of all you have longed for – a love to give, a miracle to keep. congratulations.

the truth lies here

reference to the credit thingy, i just got off the hook with rizal. we were discussing about this issue. rizal advised me not to do anything but keep all the related documents that he asked me to print, in a safe place for future reference.

do take note, i posted this here cuz this is my main blog. i will place a link in my other blog too.


here's what happened from the start in a chronological order:-


11/12/06 - T posted some of her latest wedding cupcake pics on her flickr album.

03/04/07 - the 'Copy Cat' (CC) posted pics of her wedding cupcakes on her fp, that was exactly like T's.

15/04/07 - i left a comment on CC's fp, telling her of where i am from. unfortunately i didn't realize that time that the cupcakes been copied from T but i make dunno.

04/05/07 - then i type another comment that those were actually like T's, the CC should give some credits to T.

05/05/07 - i sent an email to CC (that by this time CC has deleted my latest comment), that read:-

hie CC,

as a malaysian, i am rather disappointed with your kind of attitude. i knew that u have deleted my last comment on your fotopage. unfortunately i have made a copy, exactly after i posted the comment, as i knew that this gonna happened.

from your pics, i really could realize it that u were copying T's design. unless u placed a credit for her there, we won't bugging u. i am sending a copy of this email to T too, with a copy of my last comment.

sadly to say, i knew u have even blocked my ip address.

lastly, a word from a malaysian too, please be truthful. do not make us a shame because of you.

regards,
kuE!

06/06/07 - i found another fp while browsing the net, that surprisingly belonged to CC too. now i saw that she has posted (dated 4/06/07 13:55) a pic of her police report, claiming that she has been accusing by me. she put some black lines on the police report, maybe thought that the words were p&C. she wrote the post in red... fine. what makes me angry was CC's last paragraph on that post on her fp that reads:-

"Saya tak pernah nak cari gaduh atau musuh. Agaknya sebab tak ada laki yang nak melayan kegersangan, maka nak meroyan merata tempat. WTF. If you still want to continue the game, then we will proceed with legal action."

proceed ler, who cares. now from my email (on 5/05/07) and her post (4/06/07), we could see there were so much different i.e. i was just giving warning to her, while she was worst - talked bad about people. WTH. if not because of this (her bad words), i won't have write this post.

what a co-incidence that rizal sms me that morning, just to ask about my health. i took the chance to tell him about what had happened in my reply to him, including the above statements about CC's 4/06/07's post. rizal asked me to print and keep all the documents in a safe place. i did.

14/06/07 - i was smiling all the way after i came out from shower, seeing sms from rizal that he has a copy of CC's report. then he sent me a copy. i could read the full contents of the report including whatever CC tried to hide in her pic of the police report posted on 4/06/07 ;)

15/06/07 - while i was on the fon with rizal just now, discussing about this issue, at the same time i was browsing-thru the net as well. and i was not surprised when i saw that CC has changed her post dated 4/06/07 to 1/01/08 13:55 . her trick was that to let her viewers know about this issue. fine... let it be. this is also another main reason that i decided to type this post. like i mentioned before, karma comes and bites you in the ass!

rizal was here

yes you people read the title right. rizal was here. for those who dunno, rizal was my first bf ;) well eventually i knew that he gonna be back to kuale. he called me last week. i know i know... like i mentioned before, it was hard for me to answer his call. but you know... sometimes inner sides of me tend to get melt easily :) from what i understood earlier, he supposed to come back on the 1st. that's fine. i was trying to act cool here i.e. i have said to myself that i would never call or contact him no more. its a different case if he's the one. again that's fine.

i was at my office around 2.15 pm, when suddenly i saw rizal at my door, knocking, smiling, then entered happily. he really surprised me. ya i knew he's gonna come back, but since he didn't call, how do i knew whether he's already back or not... anyhow he was already sitting in front of me. so i thought to myself that i had to act cool, can't make any trouble. people could see me as my office is with 3-sided glass wall - one side of the glass wall got vertical blinds (behind me), while the other with 1/4 venetian blinds (faced out), while another just covered with some stuff from outside.

i stopped from what i was doing, as to entertain rizal. we talked and catch on stuff about us. he was with me for almost two hours. before he went off, we shook hands. he kissed my right hand. he came and stood besides me. then without me realizing, he suddenly kissed my lips followed by this. that incident really shocked me. both my eyes were so wide. i held his hand. "rizal please", i told him. he smiled instead and walked off while saying, "you know i still love you so much".

that kept me thinking about something he told me earlier during our conversation. rizal told me about his meet with an older man sometime ago in jb. it seems that that man can read people's mind. even from the way he looked at rizal, he said that rizal is still madly in love with someone although they live apart and cant be together. rizal agreed when asked by the man. according to the man also, its all because of the way we kissed each other before. the most important thing was that we had exchanged and tasted our saliva. it seems that was the main reason of why rizal still in love with me. i just smiled when rizal asked about my opinion. argghhh... this is hard. is this true? what say you?

i ain't got no P.A.

an ex-bf called a few minutes ago. i didn't answer but i just ignore him instead. in fact he tried to get in touch with me for so many times. gosh... doesn't he understand what i explained to him last time. there's once when i was still in subang, his wife called me early in the morning asking why i called rizal. she also asked me not to disturb her life anymore. wheyy... no way lady, i never called him. he was the one who keep calling me. grr... since then, i told rizal that my relationship with him was over. full stop.

anyhow earlier a friend kak fawzia from tupai (who stays in penang) called. i saw that its from a 'private number'. at first i thought that it maybe from D cuz i could see that the id won't be appearing if someone calls from overseas. but what about other people that i don't know? i quickly asked one of my cashier to answer it. then he passed back my fon to me saying that it was from my friend fuhh...

"aii... sejak bila you ada P.A. ni? a guy plak tu...", kak fawzia asked me.

i was like *phew*, "tak lah, tu i punya staff. i was outside just now so he helped me to answer my fon". hehe...

"o ok. ye ke?", she said, giggling. then we continued our conversations while i went back into my office ;)

call or not to call ;)

asp nazri* came to see me at my office this morning. 'terkezut' i... ya lor... i was concentrating giler, typing my worksheet, suddenly i saw two policemen with uniforms (my office is with glass-wall, remember?) came in. one of them talked something with my cashier. he then knocked on my office door and opened it.

"boleh saya masuk, kacau awak sekejap", asp nazri* asked me. woik... you asked that after you came in?!! i juz hangguk-hangguk.

"its about the case. you and your dad are required to attend for the proceedings at the court on raya kedua", asp nazri* told me with a mix of english and malay. normal lor...

"here? ", i asked him.

"no. taiping. i'll get back to you to reconfirm and let you know the time".

"okay".

"so, apa-apa nanti saya contact awak".

hmm...

dunno whether they managed to catch the culprits. i was shocked mannn... seeing asp nazri until i totally forgot to ask about it. i know i didn't post anything about THE case. it was really an unforgettable incident. i could even remember the date within a blink- 25.07.2005. i dun have the guts to write about it yet. maybe i'll do it when i feel that its time to do so! whatever it is, i WILL do it someday. i owe this type of story to sheryl anyway. i just hope for one thing at the court there next week- NO press plzzzzzzzzz... the case was published in almost every papers for northern region including nanyang siang pau and china press. while for nations maybe like harian metro. i knew this because rizal called from jb to inform me about it. heyyy.... of course i won't place a link to it here rite ;)

"apsal kak... ", my staff asked as soon as asp nazri and another policeman walked out.

i told them roughly of what it was about. they were not keypochi but they are concerned a lot about me.

"ishh... saje nye tu kak... macam lar dia tak de nombor fon kak... benda boleh call je...", my cashier told me.

"hehe... itu ada niat lain tu...", my other staff continued.

its true. as though like asp nazri* dun have my fon number i.e. home, office and my cell-fon lol...

kuE's note: i sms some of my closed family, relatives and friends about the above. correction to that policeman's name- its supposed to be asp nazri and not koperal nazri as i sms earlier ;)

pissed off

no way mannn...

okay okay... i admit that i used to love him so much before, eventhough i knew that he's already married. he's my first love. one lousy incident that happened few years back made my feelings totally changed on him. i've made up my mind that i won't make him my specials anymore. i told him that it was no use for me to love him cuz he's not mine. but rizal never wanna listen to me. i was at dad's place in bukit pelandok when suddenly one day i received a call from an unknown number. i saw the code that its from the southern area but i didn't recognize the number. what the hell i still answered my bloody ericsson fon (then). a lady scolded me for disturbing her marriage life blah blah blah... my heart was boiling like mad!!! i didn't say anything. then i just hang-up the fon once she finished. i swear that i didn't feel anything with rizal no more since then. full stop.

it seems that he loves me so much. please... if you love me then do not disturb me like this. i dun want your other half to blame me. it's not my fault!

yesterday, today & tomorrow

yesterday

first bf rizal was in town the whole week but we didn't meet *phew*. he was so damn eager to meet-up wz me but dunno lar... i dun have the guts at all. at first he wanted to come over to my office during the friday prayers time. what the hell man... what would people say if they saw him with me during that time i.e. my office is wz glass-walls. then he suggested a place. hmm... lucky me that megat merengek. he was alone at home with my parents, puteri and grandma went to kl with my cousin on thursday. so i used that as an excuse for not meeting rizal. a few years back, i was so damn mad when rizal's wife called me and blaming me for disturbing her marriage life. blimey... who disturb who occay?!!!... i never called rizal. since that incident, i have promised myself not to get in contact with rizal ANYMORE repeat... ANYMORE. that woman (i called her "woman" since she called me!!!) never knows that rizal was the one who kept calling me and trying his best to see me if he comes back to hometown. in fact there's so many damn things that rizal complained about her. dunno whether its true or not but like i promised before, i juz make "dunno".


today

i've juz reached here in KD about 2 hours ago. supposed to depart from home after subuh but dunno why... suddenly listened to dad who asked me to go after 9am, after he settled some of the banking stuff. grrr... if he go, never think about us at all pun... anyway, we will be going to cousin shanaz's place at putrajaya for her house-warming party tonight. her house is not far from her sister sarah's house, maybe just a few blocks apart i guess.


tomorrow

can't wait for tomorrow... meeting someone special (insya allah). V supposed to join us but he sms me this morning that he forgot that he has to attend a raya open house. never mind, there's alwiz a next time ;)

1st day of hari raya...

...yesterday was damn busy as usual, like those years back. my staff didn't have time to sit even for a second. i (of course) helped them to fight too! lol... fight with the customers... hehe... rotfl... no lar... where we could fight with customer, no way... i mean, i also "turun padang" to join my staff with the busy situation. anyhow i sent my staff to perform their raya prayers while i stand-by at the cashier counter alone. it was damn silent then but as soon as people finished their raya prayers, it was damn busy non-stop till to-date.

megat & auntie mek

i went back at mid-day as relatives kept coming to our house. everyone from near and far were here. my staff also came after they have finished their work. not forgetting my god-mother auntie mek (pronounced mik) who came all the way from ipoh just to visit us for hari raya along with her dot dot dot and dot dot dot, in two other cars. i could say that it was her unofficial trip as there was no official protocol or what so ever. as usual, my sister came with her digital camera when we were at the dining room with auntie mek. "ahhh... this is the hardest part when ina is around", auntie mek said after a few bites of my sister's home-made muffin, followed by a quick laughed by all of us. before auntie mek went off, she gave the kids duit raya. guess what she created a new category under "unmarried" that make my unmarried sisters, brother and cousins also got the chance to receive duit raya from auntie mek and thats including me! lol... ;)

yea... my sister took most of the pics yesterday. i'll update them here after sunday 6 november 2005.

since visitors non-stop coming to our house, my sisters and cousins including me went to our grand-auntie's house later in the evening. we just visit her for the sake of meeting her for hari raya. we then adjourned to another grand-auntie's (late grand-pa's sisters) house around there too. then the last house that we went to was my dad's youngest sister. really had a heavy meals there *phew*

since we are in the millenium years, i also received lotsa raya sms'. these were part of them:

Selamat Hari Raya. From Akiko.

... plus many many more. sometimes i wonder that no one seems to care about the traditional way of sending the hari raya cards anymore. for me, wishes thru cards are more meaningful. but i myself didn't have the time to do that this year. so i didn't buy any single greeting cards from my favourite gift shop memory lane. anyhow i still have to dig some from our old stocks. this is because i still received some raya cards and i have to reply them, namely to auntie gai. she was together with us during my beijing trip last august. in her card, she told me that she will be joining her son who is an accountant to riyadh (insya allah) in october 2006. i also got one card from my first bf, rizal who is now based in ipk jhb (hmm... wonder whether sheryl stumbled into him there lol...). well no matter how i will definitely reply all the cards that i have received.
