It is supposed to be a happy day

Sighhh...I feel really really down today.

Today is supposed to be an excited day for me. In few hours time, I will be flying back to my home town to attend my grandma's birthday celebration, in which I have been looking forward to.

Today is supposed to be a relax day for me. I just took an exam 2 days ago and I thought I can finally rest for a short while before taking the next exam.

Today is supposed to be a better day for me as I just got over my sadness for not able to perform in my exam which I took 2 days ago. I can't blame anyone or anything as I did not work hard and prepare enough this time and I have expected to fail it. It's my fault that I slack and did not work hard but I still feel sad.

Today is supposed to be a joyful day for me. Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I am heading back to see my mama today.

Today is supposed to be a self-pampered day. I had plan to reward myself with something expensive for finishing the recent exam marathon and working hard (at work).

And the list go on...

I woke up automatically before 8am today and this is not usual for me as I don't normally woke up that early on Saturday. I haven't had enough sleep for the week and I don't supposed to wake up this early without alarm clock. No, is not biological clock as I don't consistently wake up at 8 this week. I burned midnight oil and woke up rather late every day before my exam. And yesterday, I almost could not wake up to work even with the helped of alarm clock due to tiredness.

Perhaps, my brain knew something. Perhaps, my brain received some dunno-what-wave-signal and asked me to wake up.

It's my habit to check my phone first once I woke up. Checking email, notification, massage and etc. And today is no different.

Finally, I received an email that I have been waiting for so long, for weeks. It's my exam result, which I took in mid of March. This exam is slightly different where I have to do it at home within the given time frame and submit it for grading. It's a very tense exam even you do it at home due to the time limit. I'm not that sad for failing other exam but this exam is really torturing.

Yup, I failed!!! T.T Arghhh...I need to redo everything again. I need to go through the whole stressful process...I...I don't what to do....

Sigh...It's a very expensive exam. I need to re-register and spend U$500 on it. Cannot claim from anywhere. No, I am not sad because of the money actually.

I though I will be ok but no...I feel very sad but not able to cry...I got no one to turn to and don't know how to let it out. I thought I am strong enough but I realize I need a shoulder to cry on sometimes. I..I don't know...

Right. I got few hours more to pack my feelings before I reach my home. I don't know I still can smile today but I have to try. I can't show my sadness in front of my parents and grandma, especially during the her birthday and mother's day celebration.

Ok. Got to go. Rushing to airport. Feeling much better as I write it out...

a PhoTo a DaY ~ 11/4/2012

Suddenly got the feeling to blog...3 posts in a roll...Can't stop posting...haha...

Memories!! I found this photo while packing up my stuffs. I got a lot of junks...oh god...Back to the photo, it was taken during my graduation trip in Bali. I enjoyed the water rafting so much. Our guide (standing at the back), called himself Leonardo De Cappuccino, was so funny and playful. This photo really made me smile even though I was having headache and was tired of packing up when I found the photo.

a PhoTo a DaY ~ 10/4/2012

A Picture says a thousand words. I always have this concept on my mind to post some interesting or new things that I have experience in my everyday's life in photo/picture but not manage to do it. May be I shall start slowly by back dating it..hehe..

New Chicken Muffin!! It was the last McDonalds' Breakfast I had before leaving Kuala Lumpur. McD was having promotion for launching of this new burger and it was only cost RM 2 or 2.50. Hmm..can't remember. Taste good...mmmm..~Ta da da da da, I'm loving it~

Is that a Compliment?

Before my boss left office today, he approached our team, carrying his backpack. While discussing about some work related matters with one of my colleague, he suddenly pointed at me and said "She is the most hard working Angel". I "stunted" for awhile and laughed, thinking "really?" Haha..Well, perhaps "yes" for last time because I used to leave office very late. I was the last or last 2 or 3 person to leave office almost everyday. After that, I started to feel a bit guilty as I started to be less "hard-working" recently and leave office quite early since I would like to focus more on my exam. Unlike last time, I would leave even though I can't finish my work because I realized work will NEVER finish.

On second thought, was it a compliment?? Hmm..

On a separate occasion, I THINK I got another compliment this morning. To get a signature from a very "Important" person this morning, I went to a different floor, which I seldom go. The room is located at the very end of the whole office. That means I need to pass by a lot of people's workspaces in order to reach there. Since it is an open office, everyone will look at you when you walk by. That floor is basically occupied by our system vendor, can say mostly programmer, so lots of young guys. On don't know the "n" time I walked by today (went there for a few times since the person is not around), I heard a few guys whispering : "有气质，有气质" (translation: shall I say "有气质" means charismatic or attitude). I think they were talking about me. LOL...I did not turn over and I pretended I did not hear that. Haha...Or may be I am to "perasan" / self-satified...kekeke...

Cleaning 101: Fan

I have been freaking lazy lately. I would spend my weekend lying on the bed doing nothing and sleeping. Waking up just to eat, snacking, watch drama and online is my habbit now. Not sure since when. My room get messier and messier, clothes left un-holded after drying. Aiks, no eyes to see myself. No wonder i got fatter and fatter these days. Actually, i have been thinking of cleaning and tidying up my room for some time already but my laziness keeps holding me back.

Guess what? Today is Monday and it is a Public holiday (Awal Muharram). As usual, i stay at home, my room to be exact, wasting time. Really unproductive >.< After wasting half of my day doing nothing productive, i come to my sense finally.  "NO. I cannot continue to be like this" I said to myself.

Ok, where shall i start? Perhaps, i should just sweep the floor. And so i off the fan. Wow, the fan is so damn black and dusty. I think i haven't wipe it for some time already. Oops!

Alright, i'll start with the fans. :S It might be easy for a lot of people to clean it but it ain't easy for a shawty like me. Oops! I mean shorty. Well, never mind, these may help! haha

Stacking 4 stools together

Look at the dust!

Done with the first paddle. Ouch, my neck hurts ! 2 paddles to go...

After!

Finally i'm done! Squeaky Clean >.^ 

Next, i proceeded to sweep my room and the living room. Then, i changed my bed sheet and threw the rubbish. Ok, tired~ Rest awhile only mop the floor. After awhile, i changed my mind. Let's continue tomorrow. XP haha...Lazy me!

P/S: Sorry for wasting your time to read my junk post...haha

Insomnia...again

Aikss...i'm having insomnia for 3 consecutive days...not joking, it has been 3 days and i'm not sure it will continue today! T.T Dark circle is getting darker and obvious...

Although today is a public holiday (Deepavali), i couldn't sleep well last night. Not sure why, I think most probably is due to work stress. I'm going to have my consecutive leaves and going outstation very soon but I can't feel the joy yet. I just can't go off with peace of mind.

To compensate myself for working late and hard last few days, I treat myself with my favourite breakfast, Subway! Yummy...

Chicken Slice + Egg with a cup of white coffee

Little Surprise ^.^

Reluctantly, i went to work this morning as I was having Tuesday Blue. No Monday Blue this week because i took leave to rest at home for my birthday.

I was late as usual, but i still walked lazily towards my workstation. As i opened my drawer, i saw an unfamiliar paper bag sitting in the place where i normally keep my bag. I explored it curiously and saw a note inside. Oh, it was a birthday gift from my manager. =] I was really surprise because he is my new manager, whom i have only known for less than 2 months.

Well, it was not about the gift that made me happy but the 'heart' that touched me. It made my day.

By the way, I feel really lucky and glad that i always meet with good, kind and friendly supervisors.

627

Hmm..this blog has been abandoned for quite some time. Actually, i have a lot to write sometimes but just not on the right time and the sudden urge to write vanished after awhile.

Well, what is 627? Nothing special, just my birthday!

I have my first 'official' celebration 10days ago with my colleagues but this celebration was not done on purpose. Supposedly, we were having our department's welcome lunch for a few new staffs in TGI Friday. So, they took this opportunity to celebrate my birthday concurrently. Haha. But i did have a surprise when i saw a cake in front of me out of sudden. You know what was written on the cake? " Happy birthday Fatty Angie". I was like : "......" & =.= Another surprise?

Anyway, really thanks to my colleagues who remembered that my birthday was approaching and told the boss to celebrate for me.

Unofficial? Neway Karaoke is having birthday month promotion, that is free one head charge. So my colleagues took this opportunity to go sing K. And birthday promotion comes with a free champagne if there are more than 6 head counts. I did not how to react when Neway played the birthday song as they served the champagne because my birthday was 2 weeks away and they didn't plan to celebrate birthday for me. Another week later, we went to sing K again to celebrate getting bonus and to get the free head charge. These 2 sing k session can't count as celebration bah! haha...

I had my second 'special' celebration yesterday. What so special? Because my dear coursemates made me to bake my own birthday cup cakes. Haha. According to Lee Wen, they are tiring of dirty celebration like pouring water, flour and etc and baking own birthday cake is another type of torture. Haha... To tell you the truth, i did enjoyed this 'torturing' process. Those cupcakes may not be the most beautiful cake i have in my life but they are special and memorable one. Luckily they are edible and the taste is not too bad.

We started our day with the said "legendary" ikan bakar in Jalan Bellamy before baking the cakes. Only 1 stall opened that day and we just gave it a try since we had no choice. As soon as we reached and made our order, it started pouring cats and dogs. Wow, the rain was too heavy until we had no place to sit. What a 'wonderful' day to have ikan bakar, huh! In the end we had to dine our sotong and ikan bakar in their kitchen :S and the dishes were cold. We did felt a bit disappointed though.

After baking the cup cakes, we headed to Kota Damansara to have our Mexican Dinner, which was chosen by Kai You. The interesting part is we couldn't find the restaurant. Lol. So we had to change the venue to a Japanese restaurant in Sunway Giza. I guess this was another surprise that they wanted to give me. haha. Anyway, really glad that my coursemates came to celebrate and ate those cupcakes with me. Oh ya, thanks for the gift. =)

Well, that's all the memorable celebration i have this year.

Thank You guys and gals! You know who you are...

Impromptu presentation

Let me share the new experience i got today.

I was asked to attend a meeting today. This meeting was held to discuss the project kickoff timeline and tasks of respective departments.

Since this product is handled by me and my colleague was too busy with other task, i was required to attend the meeting alone. However, i have been busy with other task, so i have never properly go through this product. I just roughly read through the benefits of this product a day before.

Ok. People from respective departments started to fill up the meeting room and someone called out "let's start". But no one actually started talking. The one who held the meeting is quite new. Then, suddenly someone said let's get actuarial to talk about the product feature since it was never been discussed before.

Then i said and laughed: I was never told to do so in this meeting. The person who held the meeting looked at me and said let's discuss this first.

I was like: "huh, really? Me? Shit!" I have never prepared anything before the meeting and i'm not familiar with the product yet.

Everyone turned to me and waited for me to start. I have no choice and there was no escape road. I don't even have slides to present. Everyone was holding the product specification documents that prepared by my colleague and i have never seen that before. Luckily, i did bring along other related documents.

And so i started my presentation. I just looked at my documents and simply crapped. Haha...

The hardest part was not to do the talking but to answer all sorts of questions. I just pretended like I knew very well when answering questions but actually i was not too sure. For those questions that are too hard, i just replied : i'll get back to you. LOL.

When i was almost done, my boss came in suddenly. Good, because they all turned to him and asked the questions that i can't answer. Somebody joked: you secretly text your boss for help huh? LOL.

Although my presentation was quite terrible this morning, it wasn't too bad after all. It was impromptu anyway. At least i have gained a new experience today.

Exam exam exam : VEE - Corporate Finance

Oh dear, another exam is coming up >.<

Study look...haha

Pray hard i can go through...

Today Special (31/1/2011) - Dandelion

It's been a long time i never see this plant already. Sigh, this is the consequences of living in a hectic city.

To most of the people, dandelion is just another type of grass but to me, it is a special plant that i like.

I like to play with it when i was young. Simply because i like to see the way they fly in the sky. ^^

Too bad i didn't bring my camera, only can capture it with my phone (don't have micro mode). And it was windy, so hard to capture it.

Today Special (29/1/2011) - Pampered: Ice Cream

It's time to pamper myself~

Yup, i'm enjoying my day off.

Guess what flavor it is?

.

Chocolate?

Nah, it's chocolate matcha. It's green tea + Chocolate, mix.

I thought it will be 2 different scoops when i ordered. But... haha, unexpected.

Quite nice because it's not too sweet..yum yum!

I always like Kindori ice cream because they only make the ice cream upon order. So it's fresh.

Check out their website: http://www.kindori.com.my/

P/s: i ate 2 spoons already only remember to take photo, so the shape looks a bit weird in the photo. haha..

OT - Goosebumps?

I went for training these 2 days. Full time, from 9am - 5pm. The training was internal but the location was in different building.

Well nothing special actually. However, i did experience something, errr....something different ><.

Here's the story:

After the first day training ended, i went back to office to work. Actually can go home directly but sigh, too many things to be done before CNY holidays.

Around 8pm, my housemate asked me want to go back or not. I hesitated for awhile and decided to go back earlier.

After dinner and on the way home, i came to realize that my big boss is going on leave starting from friday. Shit! I got some urgent thing that need him to review and sign but not yet done.

Then i rushed back to office to do. Sigh, it took a lot more time than i thought it should be.

Work, work, work. Till 12am, everyone on that floor left already and i was alone again.

Out of no where, an alarm started to ring. Don't know whose. Gosh, really. Luckily, my colleague told me about this before, else i'll be really really shocked.

Ya, it was late already. I quickly finished off the part that i did half way and went back.

It was 12.15am when i left. Walked to the lift and found the up button was pressed. Don't care la, i just pressed down button and it opened immediately. Eh, why the light of up button still on? Hmm...

I went in and pressed G. The lift stopped at 7th floor and opened. No one. Ok. It stopped again at 6th floor. This time the lift opened half only and closed. Oh dear, it's getting creepier. Okkk...Let's continue, it stopped at 4th floor again. Wah, this time it is really scared the hell out of me. My heart was almost jumped out. The light on that floor was off and it was all dark when the lift opened. Damn eerie! I quickly pressed close button, went down and left the building.

I'll think twice next time if i need to stay that late again.

p/s: Opps, the topic is not related to the picture at all.

Today Special (25/1/2011) - Fortune Cookie

Got a fortune cookie from my big boss today. The message i got is "You have a friendly heart and are well admired" and he said it is true for me. LOL ^^

Well, what do you think?

Anyway, all the messages written are usually general and suited everyone.

It's just for fun!
