this post is dedicated to my Girlfriends or my metrosexuals who I still admits as my friends. Girls, bought CLEO this month? (i know it’s not healthy to buy beauty magazine– but i just cant resist freebies) this month’s spot is on CLEO Beauty Hall of Fame. Mahal nye sumer sumer,korang kaye kaye maintenance tinggi bole la. It’s OK..but i guess more suitable for 28-40. Basically i need beauty guidance for my community of people ( yang baru nak start keja n dapat gaji ciput pastu kena bayar toll..ha! familiar?)

So, I’m announcing my own beauty gadgets and products list that is affordable. I know i’m not a very credible source to endorse a product, given the state of my skin texture and inconsistency of maintaining good beauty habit–but it’s my blog,,like i care. At least, i got good resource of products. hehe aku pau kakak2 aku yg 5 orang tuh., and tried everything in their makeup bags and bathroom racks. hah! now i sounded more credible kan? anyway, when my friends minta recommend ape ape– i’ve always give the cheapest option, and the products worked on their skin or hair,, so, i guess that is considered " 2 years nutrition and beauty consultation related experience" if i were to put it on my resume.

Hello.

This was a tired week indeed. Worked hard to impress people on interviews. Went to 3 interviews. I still think ‘be yourself’ doesn’t fit well in interview tips. Basically, it’s human intellectual nature to ‘be yourself + exaggerate a little, but only to extend that you are sure you are able to do the job and backup those whole exaggeration with a bit of extra work, and that–only after you are hired.’ I know jobstreet wont write that, but we human have this urge to impress by heart so it doesn’t matter how honest you are.

After 3 weeks of being unemployed.. I got the job that I want. (actually, work that I wish to do another 5 years,,but what the heck!) Only after that 2 hours of interview I found my confidence to handle the job went down to nearly zero. It was actually a relief when the interviewer asked “did I scare you? Good!..” hmm, He gets paid to scare new people like me, so this job sure looks fun.

Remember what I said about the whole “hating the ugly ill tempered old man  who invented the computer and people who encourage this industry to turn into something the country cannot grow without and basically torture my 5 years of university life?” and I said, I must be insane if I’m going to go hardcore in IT for my career. haha, I take back those words as I am going to be mingling with this stuff for my whole life—provided this career is what I think it is like. Lets hope so.

Wish me luck people. I know few of you think this is ridiculous. I do too,, just thot I’d give a try. If next week I quit,, aku halalkan segale umpatan dan kutukan..

Copp!.. to my friends yang I promise to inform you whenever I get a job. But I didn’t do so. I am sorry.. credit habisla..excited call my mak and sisters la,,

Anyway, this is also one channel to distribute good news kan.. sumimasen! GAMBARIMASU..

Pada yang still job hunting, banyak vacancy lagi don’t worry.. if they banyak soal about you not having experience, just show what you can do.. I mean show-literally, like ask for server + computers + ape2 yg perlu so dat you can do a demo. A bit of spunkiness and arrogance wont hurt. 

check out this sweet banners. non-post related, but i just like it.. maybe they are a bit smudgy, sorry

Knew the signs
Wasn’t right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn’t see
We were never
Meant to be

Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK

But I was
So confused,
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn’t see
We were never
Meant to be

So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You’ll be out of my mind
And I’ll be over you

But now I’m
So confused,
My heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn’t see
We were never
Meant to be

Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There’s a life out there
For me

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point
a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want
fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in"

gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors".

7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."

8. Don’t use any punctuation marks

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they
answer.

11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go".

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle
sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their
party because you’re not in the mood.

16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name,

Rock Hard Kim.

17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream, "I won! I won! Third time this week!!!!!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot,
yelling, "Run for your lives, they’re loose!!"

19. Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going
to have to let one of you go."

24^th June ago was my birthday,, Actually I was hoping for a few particular people to wish me,, so, I didn’t write about this supposedly big day for me in this blog, don’t want them to be reminded because of this entry. However, dah lame dah.. so, I’m gonna write anyway, suddenly rase immature to wait for someone to wish me,, dhuhhh! I forgot people’s birthday all the time, so it’s no big deal. So to the people that wish me excitedly, thank you for making me feel like 12 years younger.. don’t know y, but shrieking and giggling reminds me of  young, cute ewoks. Hehe

On that very day, it was Saturday, and I was at my home sweet home in perak,, celebrating with family, almost every one was there. As far as I can remember, my birthday never fall on school break before, it was whether I’m at the hostel, camping trip, college, BTN, shah alam. Hm, so I always had whether an advance birthday cake or belated cake. It is my dream to celebrate with every members of the family around me on that very day, 24^th june,, I thot this kinda event would still has the chance to happen next year or the next or the next year. Then, I realize it would never happen. It hit me, my father will not be around this june, next june or next 10 years. So, that dream will just be a dream.. and you wonder why I give so damn much about a stupid birthday. Because the last 23 birthdays, I had to listen to my dad’s out of tune 30 seconds of fame—the arabic clash Michael Buble version of happy birthday on that particular morning. If I was at home with him, I even got to see his belly dancing in pelikat and pagoda singlet, even worse when he did it in front of my friends. Mase kecik2 it was a torture to have to listen for that birthday verse (nightmares to my friends.. and appendicitis to paul moss ). As I grew older, it won’t be a birthday if I don’t hear it. I miss the song, and I miss him.

Anyway, got 4 cakes for the whole family,, and mubin gave me  cute drawing of isagi shuuhei..hearthrob from bleach,, I was touched beyond words,.(Thanks you for all the presents, you all.. I cant list them down,, nanti kecik hati kalau ade tertinggal.) it was a beautiful day where everyone ate and laughed, and ate and smiled, and told scary stories of how torturing the operation to have your wisdom tooth removed, just to scare the crap out of kak udi..( she was going thru it the next week). Siap ade demonstration and gambarajah.

Despite the ups and downs and a bit of dramas that I’m sure every family has, I’m grateful for this. If I get to choose my family (remember that wife swap reality show), I will absolutely still go for this one. I smile when I see the rice pot isn’t empty even when there are 10 of us. Why? Because everybody is saving half their portion of rice to everybody else who she thinks mite be hungrier then she is,… or a sister that hasn’t eaten yet, or need to eat more. So it goes on in circle,, and obviously that’s y the rice never finish. Still, it is pembaziran yang tak baik, but in this very cute way. Also, the reason my cat is that big. Mix all the love, sisterhood, the promise, the joy, the pranks, tantrum, screaming and yelling.. we ARE family. A connection my father emphasized since we first memorize his face. Nothing is more important than each other.

Iza, O tanjobi omedeto

Awin,, still didn’t get your appolo layer cake, topped with a slice of cheesedale cheese that u wanna give me by hand ( he said it almost fit the description of –hand-made-cheese-cake . Some frend I have ha..)

Hello..

Been a long since I last jot here..( look how cliché I start this one..) . Anyway, I had this brain freeze caused by drinking home made ice blended on rainy day and now I don’t have any idea how to put my joy into writings here.

So, first of all, I got my MCSE. (cheer,,cheer \\( “_”)//   FINALLY!.. I’m not that proud of the cert, (orait.., a bit proud) but I can’t believe I’ve gotten thru this course. I’m dealing with a big confidence issues here since all other people that has an mcse can practically configure DNS blindfolded,, (me? Press F1- Microsoft help & support). I felt like 128 RAM—I consumed too much when all of it being compressed within 2 months, and can’t figured out what the heck that I’ve learnt all this while. These hundreds of chapters of Win2K3 evaporate like steam, they’re so volatile. My sis said.. Don’t worry cause everything is in the head, that I only need to screen my input and sort out the knowledge I have depending on hints or clues within the task. I hope so.

Usually, I need one good word to figure out the whole chapter. Forgive me, but that does sound a bit unhealthy considered if I am assigned the task to troubleshoot a server that almost give a flat line.,.and has a role of supporting 5 organizations in 3 different regions.hah!, maybe I should, you know..like kuhen said, spare a bag full of important belongings, in case of something critical like this happened and i made it worse ( Imagine deleting a domain) , it would be convenient to just angkut the bag - flee the country and change citizenship. It always works in dramas rite…

Anyway, azzie is taking mcse too

kan

? so,, good luck. Congratulations to classmates that passed too,, that farewell party for kuhen was fun rite? I hope he’s relieved to have his effort didn’t end in vain. Tahniah jugak to MCADs,,yg punye la hebat 100% dapat

kan

? And minah terrer Sab yg dapat due2 MCSA and CCNA..I am very impressed,,..(tibe tibe aku sangat bangge mengaku kat sume org die ousemate aku hehe) ( I never want to seat for CCNA please note that).. and my frends yg amek other cert also, congratulations.. upon this memorable graduation and the valuable cert that we got. i am now unofficially ex UiTM students.

However, I still have doubts whether to mention the cert in the resume,, I am job hunting if u don’t realize yet. Baru je start despite the determination nak rest for a year,, belum cari full throttle, but looking around. I don’t even know nak apply for software engineer position or network admin? Database? Technical support? I’m just not in the mood to figure it all out. just wanna stay home and lure the neighbour’s cat into my house. Stay home and use our brand new vacuum, stay home and google..or stay home and scrub…or stay home and cook.. it still doesn’t sound pathetic in a month or so, so these are exactly what I’m doing. i’m way too tired for everything else. yep, ‘tired’ is the word.
