Living Life

Wow..it has been quite some time since i last scribbled my thoughts onto my so called blog..hahaha.. this is what us melayu would call 'hangat-hangat taik ayam' (hot-hot chicken shit!!)

been quite busy since i started my duties as the communications person at this new organization - very high expectations with too little time....sounds familiar right?

the past month had been horrendous - with deadlines for the company's 'inaugural' newsletter, training (i actually got a cert for just being me - which was LOUD!), organizing trainings for the upcoming sports carnival (i just don't know what i was thinking), and the list just goes on. On top of that, my mini me came down with fever, which later progressed to measles. came to a point where the measles got pretty bad that it looked as though she had gone through a botchy botox treatment! but to top it all of, my case hearing (the case where i was kicked out of one melayu publishing co. and i had filed a case against them) had been postponed AGAIN! i was told by my lawyer that they are now threatening me with a CBT charge; should i proceed with the case at the Industrial Court. what the fish head curry! I got kicked out without being paid a penny, and now I am the bad guy who apparently made millions from the company. No wonder my life is sorta like pretty made out kan kononnya??

anyhoots, life still goes on. It may not be perfect; I am still slogging to make ends meet, but I m just grateful that I still have a life. So, what the heck, I will live it!

Pioneering journalist dies

Felix Abisheganaden was a charming and gregarious man
KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran journalist Felix Abisheganaden died yesterday following a long illness at the age of 85.
His wife, Ivy, and other members of his family were at his bedside in Sunway Medical Centre. Felix, a former news editor of the New Straits Times, was a man who loved life and lived it to the fullest."He would never sit still, he was always doing something," said his eldest child, Doris, at their family home in Shah Alam.A charming and gregarious man, his daughter said her father was constantly smiling.
"You would never see him down in the mouth. If he was upset, we never knew it."Even in the hospital, no matter how bad his condition was, he would tell his children, "I'm fine. Everything will be all right."In fact, said Doris, her father was constantly pulling the doctors' legs and "annoying" the nurses.Felix's sense of humour was much reflected in his children, who despite the tears in their eyes, laughed constantly while talking about their father.Youngest son Gerard, a musician, described his father as a generous person, always willing to share his time and energy."I have never seen him turn away anybody who sought his help." "He was kind to anyone who crossed his path and he always put others before himself," said son-in-law K.C. Boey, a former editor of The Malay Mail.Encouraging and supportive, Felix's house had motivational posters on every wall, next to the many pictures of his family and friends."That was my father all over. He believed in motivation and would give every one a chance," said Doris.Felix had a heart bypass in 1997 and was in good health until knee surgery last year, followed by other ailments in recent months. He was also talented in music. He played the banjo and saxaphone.In his younger days in Singapore, he was in a harmonica band.The siblings remembered many parties thrown by their "party animal" father, which always ended in "a serious sing-along session"."Even the parties were just a manifestation of his kind heart and generous nature. He wanted to make people happy," said Boey.Felix had always told the family that when he died, he did not want people to mourn for him."Instead he would say, 'Have a party. Celebrate my life'," said Doris.The casket will be placed in St Paul's Church in Jalan Utara, Petaling Jaya, from noon to 2pm tomorrow. Funeral service will start at 2pm and the cortege will leave for the Cheras Crematorium at 3.30pm.

Jom Pi Cari Makan...

Eversince Ramadahan started, both Tracy (my office manager whom we call tracy huang mei mei) would ronda ronda around the pasar ramadhans in our hood and buy all sorts of yum-yum foodies for buka puasa. (oh, tracy tak puasa, so it's dinner for her) We have been to Pasar Ramadhan at Sect. 14, Sect. 17 and most recently, Bangsar.

I must say Bangsar was very 'mengecewakan'...not much choices la...more kuihs than lauks! and so the very expensive!! I paid RM5 for a piece of ayam percik when i could have gotten it at half the price at Sect. 17! U must try the lemang at Section 14- EXCELLENT!! Just like how my opah would do - just the right consistency, cukup garam, PERFECT! And the nasi dagang!! Wah lau wei...can pengsan!!

The ikan bakar at Sect. 17 is just superb, fish is fresh, (whole selection of kembong,mabong, cencaru, pari and terubuk!!) The Satay is quite good - you can even have satay perut!! Kak Adik (Veera) and her friend has a stall that sells risolle and popiah..Risolle very good, popiah ..oklah,,,

I miss the pasar ramadhan in melawati...bigger and better selection of everything. There is this stall that sells the tau foo with chicken pie filling...EXCELLENT!! And the selection of ikan bakar, daging bakar, ayam bakar..endless. Org bakar aja tak ada!!! hahahahahaha..

I think kan, better to ronda2 at pasar ramadhan and buy them food than paying RM80/90 for a buffet spread that has the same kind of lauk,but with air conditioned ambience. Nak makan dalam air con, makan kat dalam bilik la kan??

What to eat today yaaaaa....tracy...we go now aaaa

To be or not to be.......

when i was going googling through the images the other day, this one just struck me like 'ke-toing' on my head!! Masya-Allah - do i look like that to my husband???? I do see some resemblance like the side pose, the gebu-ness of them thighs...sigh...will i eventually look like our miss pose maut?

I m just so envious of people, whom even after four kids, can look so delicious like the 'whaz-zit-called' dessert at chillis. i, on the other hand, looked as though every single drop of water, air, blood had been sucked out of my body - i feel so 'lunyai' -like a plate of soggy salad dish at the Ampang Yong TauFoo outlet!!

For those who thinks that being confined after giving birth would cut the extra inches off your tummy, chest, body...think again...think really hard. Yes, you do lose some weight initially, with all the pantang and the bengkung and the 3 cups of water per day. Come the 44th day, when you have gained your freedom from the pantang, the first thing you would do is grab one glass of cold, icy, sweet cendul with loads of jagung or even a cold can of coke. Then comes the special delivery meals - McD, KFC, PizzaHut. Not forgetting all the nasi lemak, nasi dagang, roti canai banjir, roti telur bawang, and lontong. By the 60th day, you are back to what you were before you got pregnant. such a vicious cycle..

Probably should start saving and join one of the slimming centres...hey, if joanne kam poh poh can do it...i am not going to sit and pose maut like the model forever!!

The First Time

Kak Hanizah had opened up my eyes today on blogging. She is right; rather than keeping all my feelings bottled inside, why dont i just blog it! Funny though, i keep telling myself to write correctly- but who cares anyways..it is all about me..so i can write whatever i want, however i want..kan?

I have got so many things to write..about my feelings, about being a mother,
about my new love, about life. The problem is, am i able to open up my heart..
