You think im crazy?

Cita-cita saya adalah....

I've always been fascinated with the advertising industry...
Since young i would enjoy advertisements in between shows
while others despise them...
And I would smile at creative gigantic
print ads that I saw everywhere i go...


I thought, "whoa! how creative can people get"
I admire creative people working in the industry,
I secretly wondered if i would, one day when i grow up,
be able to be in the industry..

And then,
I went to IIUM for my degree..
I've always known all along that I wanted to major in Communication!
But somewhere along the road,
people start to say I would not be able to make it if I take Communication..
It wont be easy for me to get a job in the industry...
That I am just not fit for the industry...

So,
I stopped dreaming,
I hated it that I have to start thinking of majoring in something else..

Until one day,
I still remembered,
I met with a senior in Communication,
and told her about the dilemma..
and she convinced me that I shouldnt be worried about what people think..
I should be majoring in what I am interested in...

I took her words,
and am proud to have her as a senior! :)
thank you Kak CT...:)

True enough,
now that I finally get to work in THE industry..
I am satisfied..
Alhamdulillah...
This will be a stepping stone for me,
maybe for Mediacorp....
or.....Manja??
Or..Cleo?
Or.....Those Creative ads on Taxis and Buses and MRTs?
or or......a muslimah newscaster??
maybe an info-ed TV or radio host?
or maybe a chance to open up my own advertising agency????
Or....................apape lah yang sewaktu dgnnya...
hehehehe.....

*winks*

Although its a small company,
I learnt a LOT....
I get an insight on the advertising stuff..
I look forward to going to work everyday...

Yeah,
work is though,
BUT
when you get to work in something that you really wanted or like,
you will just enjoy it...
Time passes by so fast that you dont realise its time to go home...:)

Alhamdulillah...:)


Thanks to Mary for recommending me this job!
:)
I hope you will be succesful with your teaching,
its what you've always wanted...:)

Ok,
Back to my job,
I am working in a publishing company..
for a car magazine..


I do and see many things,
some of which is pretty interesting...

I get to sit in test drive cars..
I get to look at models, for photoshoot probably..
(they are quite a beauty, not to mention the hunks! ;))
I get creative ideas on how to think out of the box!
(which i loike!)


So there,
a bit about my new job..

and oh!
did i mention I loooovvveee my working space?
:)

It was a mess in the past, right mary?? ;)

But now its nice and clean....:)

I'll update about that soon....:)

wait up ya'll...


tata!

Funny going to work..

Its funny coming to work today,
Without having to wait for anybody at the bustop,
Without having anybody to walk to the office with,
Without having anybody to sit next to,
Without having anybody to laugh out loud with,
Without having anybody to eat with,
Without having anybody to bother 'adik Nas' with,
Without having anybody to watch tv series with,
Without having anybody to challenge 'who-reach-the-toilet-first-gets-to-use-it-first' with,
Without having anybody to gossip about what other people blog about,
Without having anybody to nag at about being neat and tidy,
Without having anybody to back me up when i did something wrong,
Without having anybody to say "yes, so crever.."
Without having anybody to go home with....

There's a million reason why it is funny going to work today..

hmmm...


Lets laugh together now....;)

Time With Friends and a Condolence

Its been a fulfilling week.

Its been a long time since I last meet up with friends.
And the chance finally came,
and I met up with friends from School AND Uni.

I bumped into Zainab at causeway point
and she invited me to join her and my bestie Suhaila
for dinner at Seoul Garden.

I was a bit hesitant though,
Tight budget lah katakan...
But dah lama sgt lah tak jumpa...
So i decided to join.

Ternyata!
it felt great to be able to catch up
with one another again..:)

Glad i decided to join them...:)









































































And just yesterday,
I met up with some of my IIUM babes!

Its actually to record a graduation video for Darwis..
Although it was a short meeting,
It felt good to see those familiar faces again!
Reminds me of the fun times back in Uni..






































































































Hope to be able to meet u babes again, Insya Allah...:)



********* END NOTE*********

But amidst all the good times,
deep down inside I give my heartfelt condolences
to a fellow friend,
whose beloved mother passed away on Saturday morning..
:(

Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas rohnya..
Amin..

Me&You

Yes I had my crappy feelings
a few days back..

I still am having them baddd.....


But this,
made me smile.......:)


































There's a ME in You.
There's a You in Me.
We're Literally and Practically inseparable..

I'Allah, Amiin..


Thank You Dear...:)

I Love You.

Unbelievably Crappy

I wanted to blog about my
holiday to Fraser's Hill last weekend.

However,
I am feeling crappy.

I dont know why,
but all of the sudden
I felt like crying...:(


Gosh!
I hate this kind of feeling
and not knowing
what is the problem...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!


ok
I'd better go now...


:(

Model for me and me model too...

Oh Boy!

I just have this crazy idea
for an indoor and outdoor photoshoot..


I wonder if my babes would be interested
to take cool photos..
just like what models do..

its for fun...


hmm...

lagipun,
My hands are itching to take good photos..

I miss my photography days
where me and my team would be snapping away
for assignments....

I miss those days where
me and my team took part in a photography exhibition
and we won second prize..

I miss using those big bulky cameras...


I miss my photography classes...

I miss them all.........


Oh when oh when will be the day.....





im out.

tata!

That absent-minded me

When I'm all excited and eager
to meet him after days of not seeing each other,

When I'm all dressed up nicely
to step out of the house,

THAT's when I realised I LEFT
my house key in my room
which I (habitually) LOCKED!

and.........

best thing was....

NOBODY was at home!

Great!
Locked outside my own room and
inside the house....


Bummer!





That absent-minded me.....

huhu....

What the Fish!!??!!

I woke up this morning trying hard to look at the positive side of life
and forget all the crappy aspects that's been bugging me
for a past few weeks...

I decided to go out and shop for something for mom..
Since i shouldnt go alone i asked my parents to go too,
But they were tired and my mom's not feeling well..

I tried asking my irritating brother to accompany me,
but he was adamant about not wanting to follow...

and so, i went by myself...
I decided to call mary and luckily she was free to come..

Thanks mary....

I went to the kodak shop to have my passport photos taken..
While all this was happening,
a guy- with the very definition of MAMAT from Suli's blog entry- walked into the shop and stood there aimlessly..

I ignored him and walked out of the shop
and didnt realise that he was following me..
and he actually stopped me!

Mamat: nak mintak number talipon leh?
Me: Excuse me??
Mamat: can i have your number, nak kawan..
Me: NO.
Mamat: why? ( muka blur)
Me: I am engaged.
Mamat: *tak respon* (muka blur)
Me: I am ENGAGED.
Mamat: oh, sorry..(muka paisey)

What the Fish!?!!

Well, he spoilt my day, spoilt my appetite even...
kepala hotak berjambul lah mat!


Do I look like a typical minah??

coz, seriously i think,
the only suitable partner for a Mat is a Minah...
Sorry if anyone is offended by this,
but i am Pissed-with a capital P..


Haiz...


and whatever happened the rest of the day
is NOT at all La La La happy happy mood mood!


So much for wanting to look at the POSITIVE aspect of life..
CRAP!



The only thing i can at least smile about is the
aroma therapy set i bought for myself...






































White petals fragrance from body shop...

This set could not come at a better time
coz i seriously need a break from all evil...


On a lighter note:

Happy mother's day to my mother
Syafakillah mak...



Im out.

The lost memories......

I had an online meeting with spec
on the class reunion we planned to have
sometime this year...

and while I was updating our multiply
account,
I had a sudden urge to look for the
one and only farewell CD
that we made in 2003..

I knew I had it stashed somewhere
in my room...

I searched and searched,
and I found it!!

The feeling I had when i watched
the CD was the same as when
I watched it for the very first time...

I was moved by the sincerity
and memories I had with
serikandi4_2002...

I takleh angkatz the fact that
we named the groups in our class
with such peculiar names...

watch it,
and you'll know what i mean...;)




precious! :)



and so,
the lost memories.............................


FOUND!

yippie! :)

I believe I can fly..

Woohoo!

Im free~~~



and I modified my blog layout lah...

wah wah...


hehehe.......

LOVE is the stuff inside.....

I think this is, so far the
MOST memorable April of my life...

I once said its my month,
and I have my family and friends
to thank..

Especially,
my one and only
prince charming
for really really making me feel
like I own the month of April...:)

I loike! :)

Why?

Because apart from the many
beautiful moments and surprises,
he gave me a wonderful
closure for this month.......

The Singapore Flyer and
my very own Built-a-Bear!!






















Look at the breathtaking view!!































I name it, Azr!
It's got a device in its chest
that when you press and hold,
you can actually feel the heartbeat..
hehe...

adorable, aint it? :)

Told you its MY month..;)
Alhamdulillah....:)


Today,
the Arian finally met...















(Everything April)








Girls,
Thank you for making it happen
despite your busy schedules...:)


Appreciate it...
Walaupun I paling banyak kena spot..:p

A girl's new bestfriend

I am not a coffee drinker..

I still remembered during my school days,
friends suggested coffee for staying up late
to study..

I tried,
But I just could not love it..
Coffee did not deter me from sleeping either..

Furthermore,
The taste, urgh...
It stayed in my throat like forever...

But I do love the delicious aroma of coffee..

Recently,
starbucks introduced its new
'Dulce De Leche'

Its a milky caramelly coffee...
I heard about it on Radio..
Mind you, the message was persuasive,
at least for non-coffee drinker like me...

I decided to give it a try...

and..........................................

I CANT stop....

Instead of the usual Chocolate Frappucino
I always ordered at each starbucks visit,
I bought the Dulce De Leche....

Its got the usual coffee taste,
but a bit more milky and caramelly....

Mmmmm....
a sip of the coffee,
I swear I thought I was in heaven...

ahakz...;p


Btw,
Starbucks has been my faithful
lunch buddy..

I made starbucks rich
just by religiously buying the choc frap
and now, Dulce de leche....!

They should award me!! ;)

























































Coffee and newspaper
my new bestfriend,
my daily staple....:)
















































Will miss starbucks when I change work..
huhu...

I am NOT oppressed..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOPPSFZ0NDU&NR=1

I just watched a video on Aqsa Parvez,
who was killed by her father for not wearing the Hijab..

In response to the person who posted that video
calling out to muslims to take off their hijab
in show of freedom,

One wonders what FREEDOM means..

Freedom does not have anything to do
with what you wear or who you are...

Most of us always connotes freedom
as 'being able to do or say whatever we want..'

but is it so?

There is no such thing as absolute freedom..

Imagine if the notion of freedom is taken
literally as stated above,
what would happen to the world...?

People kill as they wish,
People say as they like,
all these without thinking of the consequences of their actions..
God knows what will happen...

Even with the existing laws on freedom,
these issues still occured...

So, saying that Hijab is a symbol of oppression
is crap!

So what?
I cover my head
and im stupid?

I cover my head
and im oppressed?

I know many muslim women
some of whom are my very own friends..
they wear hijab BUT they are talented thinking people..

We do not wear hijab because we are afraid of our family...
We do not wear hijab because we are afraid of being an outcast...


In fact,
In my humble opinion,
Some, i repeat SOME who DO NOT wear hijab
are the ones who are afraid...

afraid of being labelled off beat..
afraid of being outcast by others who do not
understand the true meaning of freedom..


The girl died,
the father killed her...
but its an individual fault..

maybe he wanted to discipline her,
but he was at fault for killing,
thus its his individual problem...

blame it on the action,
NOT the hijab...


This is just my two cents worth...

* A: kenapa kita pakai hijab?
B: Kenapa kita simpan/sembunyi intan berlian di tempat yang selamat?
A: Sebab barang itu berharga dan tak ternilai..
B: Begitu juga halnya dengan wanita yang memakai hijab, tak ternilai harganya...

Sexy-Red-Hot-Vespa...

I have a lot to blog about..

I have a lot to rant....

I have a lot to blabber...

I have A LOT.....!

But I have been very very busy
with I-dont-know-what....

Seriously,
I've been too caught up with the daily stresses...
My mind was in a whirlwind, turmoil to be precise..
After months and days of 'mental gymnastics'
(kaed! igt lagi tak word ni??)
I think its time to give it a rest....

Penatlah nak berfikir...
I'd like to blog about work,
but lets leave it to another blog entry..

Rrrrright now,
I want to share pix!

yay!

Last Sat I went to BikeAsia at Singapore Expo,
I have to say I was impressed
at the unique and exclusive bikes
they have there...

BUT,
whatever it is,
my BiBu is STILL
the most exclusive hokay...
no doubt about it...;)


I got to sit on two different cute bikes..
hihi...
a 'veteran' scooter


























and a sexy red hot vespa....
nak moto ni boleh tak??



































these are a few of the bikes there...


























I have always hated the fact that motor shows
MUST have girls as their models...

Please lah,
what's the relationship anyway...
I always nag an earful to dear about this
whenever we go to motorshows...
hehe...

I will never understand that..

Akan tetapi,
while walking around,
I saw this particular girl,
and i thought she's pretty...
and i took a picture WITH her...

Gosh!


































I look FAT standing next to her...

Ahakz...
now dont tell me
I have to eat my own words...


Beautiful girls and motors?
NO correlation...

I only thought she's pretty,
I didnt buy any bike...:p

told you there's no correlation...;)


Till the next entry,

Im out!

Tata!

Desperate!

I had not wanted to blog about this,
but i felt i do not have a choice...

keeping mum about it,
wont help me in any way...

I desperately need a NEW job..

one with a proper working environment,
one that i can make proper use of my brain,
and most IMPORTANT,
one that is SMOKE-FREE....


Im one ACTIVE passive smoker right now..

Gosh!

I had a simple but memorable day on Saturday..
apart from the new toy I got from my parents,
which is the sony cybershot W120,
my dad, mom and lil bro fitri gave me individual presents too..


ahakz...




a gorgeous new blouse with matching brooch,
my fav perfume set
and a new watch (mine was hopeless already),
respectively...







and then we went for lunch at Siam Kitchen,
all paid for by Maman..
apa lagi, I ordered everything I like on the menu..;)







and then,
all of the sudden, dont know from where,
appeared this lovely birthday cake..
a swensens winnie the pooh ICE CREAM cake!






I loike!! :)




After all that,
I had the most wonderful closure for 5th April 2008,


Dear brought me to Carousel for a romantic dinner for two..;)
hihihi...
Thank God i was all dressed up for the occassion...



Food was great,
service was tip top
ambience was romantic
plus the fact we got a seat for two at a nice corner...




I was trying foods that i normally wouldnt,
I was laughing and laughing to his antics,
I swear
I wouldnt forget that moment forever...







Forgive me for being mushy here,
Heck! why am i apologizing, its MY blog..:p
Thank you very much dear for making my b'day
even more meaningful,
especially the birthday song you modified for me
exactly at the beginning and the end of 5th April..
So sweet..:)






Love you for everything...
and yes,
I am happy being with you! :)

p/s: want to give my new toy a name, but what eh?

B'day morning

Hey! Its my B'day!

After waiting for midnight under the moonlight with Dear,
(cehdebah!)
I went home and saw a package on my bed with my name on it...

Its from my parents..:)

I opened it (read: dengan rakusnya)
and
its a Sony Cyber-shot W120!
Pink kaler lagik.....

Tadah..........................!

















Wonderful!
















And to test the quality of the pix,
i tried using the macro mode...




















not bad....
quite impressive for a digital camera...;)


I guess this camera will be my bestie
while i save up enough money for a DSLR..;)



Will be going out with my family
for a b'day lunch...

and a special dinner with dear
later tonight...

cant wait! :)


Thank you to those lovelies
for their well wishes...:)
Mmmuacks!
