A day at Lata Kinjang.

We got the chance to hangout when I had to attend a workshop last Sunday at Kampar. The day was fun fun fun! The water was cooling and the atmosphere was just so serene even though ada ramai orang tengah bermandi-manda. Sadly, we tak mandi pun since the trip was unplanned and we went there unprepared. Just duduk-duduk atas batu dipping our feets in the soothing water, chit chatting about plans and stuffs. Simply a therapy for both our tired minds :)

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

"I got a dear friend of mine back". That was my Facebook shoutout today. Today was the sweetest ever. We parted ways back in 2006. Almost 4 years of silence after 3 years of close friendship.

The case was someone bad mouthed me to her and she decided to just believe without confronting me. Bahaya tau mulut orang ni. Akhirnya, she found out the truth. Orang takde buat salah tau. Sob sob. I was living in guilty conscience all this while when I thought of her sometimes. Betulkah salah aku? But I was not mad at her, at least not anymore. What's past is past. It is better to look forward to the future than to mourn over the past.

Again, mulut orang memang bahaya. Aku terkena lagi recently. I have learnt my lesson to be careful of what I say, to who I say it, and in what context do I say it. Cause we'll never know if orang akan misinterpret what we say or totally twist it or ada orang yang terlalu naive tak sedar apa yang they say is totally wrong. Salah wei!!

Anyway, glad to have her back in my book. Friendship forever I hope.

I was blog hopping to many many many bridezilla's blog after Izan sugested to me a few and started to panic a lil'. My oh my, the preparation they all did for their wedding was like so intense, so detailed out to each and every tiny bit of little things. Ada yang sub kon semua to orang lain, ada yang semua pun buat sendiri (tabah!). Banyak sungguh kerja untuk kahwin ni.

And yet Mai, you are still doing nothing? Haha. By panic a lil', I really meant a teeny weeny little bit aje. Haha. Sekejap je panic, lepas tu seronok betol tengok these blogs one by one. Dah mula berangan macam-macam juga!

So, bila nak buat persiapan ni Mai?

The house was being expanded by ayah and mak. Mungkinkah persiapan sambut menantu? Hark hark. Menantu pertama sudah semestinya kakak aku dulu okay. Tidaklah hamba ini melangkah banyak beno bendul akhirnya :) But what was really unexpected is that ayah and mak are also expanding my room (sikit aje)! And also adding a bathroom with two entry points each from mine and my sister's room. Wallah! Kita ada bilik mandi sendiri nanti sayang.. Heeee. But then, dah takdela nanti moments berebut bilik mandi dengan ayah? Owh.. tak best la macam tu. Mungkin terpaksa sengaja sibuk nak tumpang mandi bilik mandi ayah nanti bila nampak je ayah nak mandi.

So, the house are really stuffy these days since semua tingkap pintu tak digalakkan dibuka untuk mengelakkan habuk-habuk kerja masuk dalam rumah. Tambah dengan fenomena El-Nino sekarang ni, omaigod panasnya dunia!!

Am now waiting for my flight to sabah. Killing the boredom by writing this. Finally, the day untuk pergi Sabah. God knows the ordeals I have been through in order to set this trip in such a short time.Maybe benda senang je, but I don't know what makes this soo hard. I mean, apekah yang susah sangat kalau pakai travel agent kan? Sigh.. Can't wait for this trip to be over. Then maybe I can get to my kerja hakiki yang dah menimbun kat ofis tu. 

I can't sleep last night and so listened to Amar's MP3 and tadi dalam meeting just thought of how much I love the song Kerna Kamu by Faizal Tahir. Comel amat.

Turut turut turut turut. Wow wow yeah.

Lyrics like:

Dan aku ada hanyalah kamu

Itu saja yang ku mahu

Dari sejuta yang ku tahu

And the way he sang macam laju-laju. Lagi satu:

Kamu ada di dalam aku

Aku di dalam rindu

Sedang ingatkan kamu

Too cute kan? Loves.

every second counts on a clock that's ticking

gotta live like we're dying

I have been doing my work religiously since morning. Dedicated sangat I tell you. Kerana kerja setambun yang I hate you for putting me in this mess! Memang aku pangkah kau la. Or in other words memang aku takkan pangkah kau okay.

Anyway, CNY holidays were spent doing nothing. Except that I went to Huda's reception yang sangat best since I met a whole lot of long-lost friends. My family were supposed to go to Melaka for the holidays but it was postponed since ayah was not feeling well. But then, dari postponed terus cancel. Kesian ayah sakit, takkan nak paksa jalan-jalan lagi pulak.

On last Friday, I took an emergency leave because my cousin died from an accident at his work place. Such a tragedy yang I don't intend to repeat here. Sedih sangat. I just hope Kak Rozie will be strong for her 4 kids. She has been through a lot so I hope she will make it through. Allah takkan menguji hambaNya melainkan Dia tahu hambaNya itu mampu menghadapi ujian dan dugaan yang diberikanNya.

Al- Fatihah untuk arwah.

Speaking of accidents, this morning on my way to work, passed through one fatal accident on the highway. Nampak ada tangan underneath the black plastic bag and a car and a motorcycle damaged beyond repair. Owh.. ngerinya. Begitu cepatnya kalau Tuhan nak tarik nyawa kita, just with the blink of an eye pun boleh.

Al- Fatihah juga untuk arwah (kalau dia Islam)

Which reminds me betapa amalan aku tak cukup lagi dekat dunia ni :( Still mencuba.

And also reminds me of how I should not be complaining that my leave for today was cancelled by the boss, but instead be grateful for another second, another minute, another hour, another day to live and love.

And taking cue from Kris Allen's/The Script's:

we only got 86,400 seconds in a day

to turn it all around or throw it all away

gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

gotta live like we're dying

~ mak,ayah,kakak-kakak,family of hell,kawan-kawan,everyone alive and not forgetting sayang, I love you guys..

Ahad lalu telah pergi shopping. Got what I wanted and even more! Hehe.

Dark grey khakis dah dapat.

Ada juga dapat sesuatu yang lain!

Almari je belum jumpa lagi. Penat sungguh pusing Ipoh cari almari. Almari memang banyak tapi nak cari yang warna putih kenapa susah sangat? Semua tak menepati citarasa. Amar pun so sweet dengan baiknya went in and out of all those stores with me looking for my almari. Sebab dah banyak sangat kedai kitorang pergi, he even went into a few stores alone and told me to wait in the car je while he went to cekidaut. Baik kan? Heheeeeee. Anyone have an inkling where i could find one sweet, nice, simple, value-for-money white almari?
