Accidentally blonde? Erk!

I am travelling again, hungry and not so happy with my hair right now.

On Christmas eve i had my hair done at a local saloon, and it costed me quite a bomb. Well, i am not so freaked out about the colour anymore, but i am definitely not adoring the style. I’ve got a 2-toned colour on my hair, and it has lots of streaks of gold right now. Actually i wanted more of the dark colour (which is copperish), but it turned out the other way.

Anyway, i think i can live with it. Only that i am seriously thinking to go back to the saloon and readjust my style. Maybe i will just crop the back again, and get a bob. I know that i have a round face but i think that’s the only option that i can see right now. Plus the current style is similar to a co-worker in my office, and i dont really like being an accidental copycat.The hairstylist promised me a cheaper price if i wanted to readjust, so i think i will be going soon.   

Now where is dear Emry? I am stuck in KLIA again, waiting for him to pick me up. It’s raining outside so maybe he needs more time. Nevermind…but i am feeling like having a nice bowl of tomyam right now….Yumyum..

p/s : Somehow these days i find myself attracted to golden stuff. Even my hair has it too! Wargh!

I am in the middle of managing my financial resources, y’know, the end of the year extra $ that working people usually get. Anyway, come to think of it, i always suck at doing these things.

Somehow i find it always true what they predict in astrology. Aries’s tends to always have financial management problems. Its not that i am going bankrupt or anything, and sometimes it is not serious pun. It is only the matter of HOW Aries’s manage it, and maybe how they spend their money.

I Googled my starsign and these are the common traits that i found. Disturbingly true. Yikes!

p/s : Last night i had this dream of performing on stage, but my gig went haywire! I was late, because i was busy searching for the lyrics that i did not memorize, i chose the wrong song which i did not know how to sing, and my guitarist tried to escape! Wargh! Is that a sign for me to stop dreaming of becoming a rockstar? Or maybe that is a sign that i should start working on it?? Maybe i should take the latter? =P

Raya lagi.

Last Tuesday my boss called me to his office and asked me about my claim form for my travel last week. He asked me did it really costs rm70 for the cab from our Subang Jaya office to KLIA. With an innocent look i said yes. And there was his smile, a sign that i have been “ketok” by the cab driver. The cute one.

Hampeh betul.

Yesterday i made my way to kampung on my own. I took the coastal road which passes a few towns in Terengganu. The supposed to be 4-5 hour journey ended up 10 hours. Thanks to all the people who decided to use the coastal road as well. Yes it was Raya eve, but i expected a lighter traffic during raya haji. Apparently not. It was so frustrating and damn tiring. Dah la sorang2. Aiyoh. Maybe the traffic build up is caused by the road closure at Gua Musang route due to a major landslide.

Anyway, today i had a gastronomic raya. It was a long time since i had raya haji in Kota Bharu, so it paid off today.I am already tired with the beef menu, but i hope i can still make it tomorrow.

And hope it is still not too late to wish all readers a happy Aidiladha =)

Of a cute taxi driver. Is it?

I am in KL. Again. Well in KLIA now, to be specific. I did not know KLIA have free WIFI until now. Sheesh.

I had training for another system to be used in the company. And it is a project which should finish by this year. Actually it is suppose to finish months ago, but due to some issues, somehow it got dragged until now. Hopefully I can finish it by end of this month. And hopefully it won’t affect my bonus. Eheh.

Anyway, I am leaving for Kuantan in 2 hours. Left office around 6pm and the cute taxi driver took me to KLIA in just half an hour. To my surprise there are a lot of people getting on flights today, I was curious I asked the ground crew. I thought it could be because of the flood season (LPT is closed because of it) so maybe that’s why people are taking airplanes.Rupa-rupanya orang semua nak balik kampung. I forgot its Friday today, coz usually I take weekday flights. It’s true “Now everyone can fly”.

Since I have checked in early today, now I have plenty of time to kill while I wait for the boarding time. And finally I have became an Enrich member. Today I have time to get the form and submit it. I think it could be useful, considering that I am quite a frequent flyer since I joined my current company. But only from Kuantan to KL and back, so far. Coz the company only has 2 offices. I am really a pemalas when it comes to driving, especially when it is just a short trip. Lain la kalau outstation sampai seminggu lebih kan?

Oh yes, another typical thing happened to me again when I was on my way to KLIA just now. Did I mention that the taxi driver was cute? OK anyway, here’s the thing,I come from a Kelantanese family. Expect the thick dialect when you catch me around family members, coz we do speak Kelantanese even if we are on the other side of the planet. However, I do not go around and telling people that I am a Kelantanese and I speak the dialect well, but somehow people always discover. Like this case today, just dan2 je, my uncle called. So it was me and the cab-driver only, so of course, he heard everything. When I ended the conversation, i could feel the driver’s urge to ask me, “Oo, awak orang Kelantan ye?” but to my surprise he did not do so. So I was like, “OK..Bagus jugak, tak payah aku jawab soalan banyak2”. Then…when we arrived, finally we spoke. When he handed me my change, suddenly he blurted out “ Oo, awak orang Kota Bharu ye?”. With a small laugh I said “ A’aa”…Then he went “ Isteri saya orang Kota Bharu jugak”..My respond “ Oo yeke…”.

I get this everytime. Most of the time when people discovered that I am a Kelantanese, they get excited. Sometimes it just so happened that they have a relation with another Kelantanese, or they are just taken aback that I can talk normal Bahasa Melayu without any hint of the Kelantan dialect  in my speech. Well, Kelantanese is scattered around Malaysia nowadays, you can find them anywhere. That’s why Kota Bharu is always jammed mengalahkan KL every Aidilfitri. Eventhough I grew up out of the state, I am proud to be one. And yes, you can call me Mek Kelate.

I was for sure thinking this when I responded to the cab-driver just now “Dang, your Kelantanese wife is damn lucky getting a cute and nice husband like you”. =P

I miss my home.

Have been so occupied lately..

I am in KL now, actually since last 2 weeks. Have a training somewhere is Damansara Uptown and i have been bunking at Eastin hotel for 10 days. Somehow i am now tired of it, i miss my home in Kuantan. I miss my bedroom.

Speaking of which, i havent talked about the new crib havent i? Its now the second month of renting the new house, and so far, i have been happy with it. Locationwise, i’d say its convenient. Near to town, far from office but better so. It has access to mostly everything essential - petrol station, ATM, food, bank and hair saloon. Heheh. Basically it has 4 rooms, a wet and dry kitchen, and split levels at the living room. Rental is reasonable i guess, with Papa lending hand. Hopefully as my job grows i can afford it on my own someday (but then i think i will seriously consider buying a house by that time). After all it can also be considered a family home, since most of the furnitures are from our previous house in Putrajaya.

I just got Astro installed, so i cant wait to go back home and have rounds of movies on HBO and Star. Actually at first i thought i can live without it, but at some point, being a movie buff like me,i do not think i can survive it. Plus i do not want miss any interesting coverage on NatGeo.

Can’t wait to get home.

p/s: I have just joined Facebook. It’s awesome!! =) 

Crap.

Oh  great!@#$!

I just spent my time writing an entry but i lost it when i tried to publish it. Thats one thing when you get a free Internet connection. Hey, i paid for the coffee!! Argh!!!!!!!

An apology.

The clock is nearly 11pm. I am on duty tomorrow but I can’t bring myself to sleep yet.

I was on the phone with mama when I got back from office earlier this evening. She said she just contacted Tok Ayah and Tok Wan in kampong, just asking for how they are doing. And then suddenly it hit me.

Darn, I suck at keeping in touch.

Come to think of it, it is not that hard to grab that phone and make a call. But surprisingly I find it real hard to make it happen.Maybe its because part of my job is making calls to people everyday, it makes me wanna have a break out of it.

But then again that is not an excuse, eyh?

It is not like I do not remember people. Friends, families, acquaintances. Every now and then some people came to my mind, and I thought about how they are doing right about then.

My grandpa once said to me, “Ayuni ni tak pernah la nak telefon eh”.. Alamak. All I did was grin, and seriously did not know what to say. Nak je jawab, bukan tak ingat tok ayah, tapi tangan tu berat sangat nak talipon orang..eheh.

A good friend of mine always said I was sombong. Everytime he said so I will get upset, and then he knew that I hated it when he said so. Can’t blame him I guess, coz I have the tendency to drift away. But it’s not like I don’t remember him at all. Until today sometimes I wonder what is happening to him.

I wish that I could apologize to everyone for doing this. Maybe some people think that I do not remember them anymore.

But seriously, I do. It’s just that I am easily got tied up with the situation, and sometimes its just me feeling so darn lazy to make a call or drop an sms.

Or maybe, I should stop giving excuses.

Maybe now I should start to keep in touch better. I do not want to be sorry to someone someday, just because I did not keep in touch.

p/s: Papa always reminded me to remember people, because one day when you need them you know they will be there.

Some pics from the funfilled days.

Here are some pics on our trip to Genting last fortnight. Have been busy moving out from KL last weekend, even now i am still not done with the unpacking!

Got too much stuff around i wonder why the heck i kept all those junks. There are some things that i just cant throw away eventhough obviously i am not using it anymore. So what i did is i bought big storage boxes and stow it away. The trick is to get nice boxes with cute designs so that my storage looks nice in my bedroom.

Will blog more on the new home later.

Black Eyed Peas-ed weekend.

A lot of things happened last weekend, which was a blast. Even now in the middle of the week, i am still feeling the exhaustion. Maybe its because it has been a while since i really enjoyed myself. Eheh.

I was up in Genting Highlands last Friday and Saturday, for what else than the Black Eyed Peas concert. They are one of my favorite performers, and of course it was worth every cent i spent. Went with Dhuha my housemate and Diyana. 3 chicks runnnig up the mountain, amidst drizzle and the night. We reached Genting just when the show was about to start,as because earlier we were working. I was the driver and so far the drive was the most challenging of all. Guess the motivation was so strong there eyh.

Besides the energetic performance from the BEP (it lasted like 3 hours), the luck is what i enjoy the most. We spent RM102 which was the cheapest ticket, but we ended up sitting at the RM300+ row. How cool was that. I mean, i am not always that lucky. Thats why i write about it. I got a very clear view of Taboo especially,and he was OH-SO-CUTE!! I cant help myself screaming his name over and over again. Of course he did not hear me, but its good to let it go.

All in all the concert was really fun. All 3 of us lose our voice right after, due to the screaming and sing alongs. Oh and did i mention i was actually having gastric. Ah, i myself cant also explain how did i endure it throughout the concert…

We left Genting the next day, which was Saturday. After the rides and fun at the Outdoor park we straightaway head for the Flea Market at The Curve. Did a lot of unplanned shopping ( yeah, there are a lot of temptations when you go there) and finally reached my home in Ampang at 1am. That’s about it. A really full, tiring but fun Saturday.

Then, the packing began. Thanks to Dhuha and Diyana, we managed to complete most of the packing by that Sunday. There are only some more left, which i think i can finish it by this weekend. The movers will be coming over this Sunday to transport everything to Kuantan. It is surprising how much craps and things you find when you are packing. Finally we left KL around 7pm and it was a wrap.

That was pretty much what happened last weekend. One of the most eventful weekend of my life in Kuantan..~

And here is an early goodbye to the good ol’ KL. May one day i will get to feel living in a big city again.

p/s: Pics coming soon. Got to rush now!
