Don't leave home without me...

How is it possible that I can't get along with anyone? Yes... you read it right.. I CANNOT get along with someone. Unlikely right? How can anyone NOT like me?

Ok now I sound really psychotic like I need the world to like me....hehehe...

I'm not really talking about me. The thing is, I can't get it how anyone simply don't like another person when they do not even know each other. Imagine, someone comes to you and say

'Hey Al don't like you. He thinks you're a pain'.

And you go 'Who's Al?'

'The guy on 7th flr with curly hair'

'Do I know him?'

'Try to think of it, maybe not.'


Ironically enuf the other nite at dinner the girls made a statement that I'm easy.

Ok not that kind of easy :-p


You could introduce me to anyone and I get along with them instantly. That's not 110% true. I could if they would too. Some people don't warm up easily. I'm glad that my diverse group of gadders can also get along with each other. I think the people that I mixed with have the same mindset so I know they can befriend each other too. Then again, of course there are one or two people that only I can tolerate. Truth of the matter is, I'm glad they want to be friends with me. In this world of complications, no matter how ideally a family is suppose to be close with each other, I couldn't have make it if I didn't have my friends by my side. I would be lost without them.

It's unfortunate that my producer and I just can't seem to see eye to eye. I honestly can't stand his bad judgement of me. He always keeps in mind I'll fucked up every single thing. If I ever decide to leave, the only bad memory I'll have, is working with a smuck !

Brilliant but…

I amazed me big time ! I think I’m brilliantly smart under pressure ! I can’t believe the solutions I gave against competitors attack on my client’s reliability. They’re actually gonna go with my ideas. I’m actually brilliant ! So brilliant I’m in awe too !

My take on this is that if you know the brand so well and you treat it as your own business, you know exactly what direction you need to work towards.

So marketing skewed. I’m probably a better planner than I am an advertiser.


On the contrary, I heard that it is part of regime Zionist, an advocate against my worthy religious conviction. Helping it revive means helping Zionist to excel further in their attacks against Islam. Then again, all well know branded brands like L’Oreal, Maybelline, Estee Lauder and brands, Nike, Adidas, Disney, Coke, McDonald’s, Starbucks are said to be Zionist allied too. Don’t we all conscious or unconsciously contribute to their plan to bring down Islam? So what do you do?

Dang it. This is deep. Suddenly, I don’t feel so brilliant anymore…

Sirpwiseeeee ep.2

Adamant I was that we are not throwing a surprise party for Andy. The perfect location would be his house, and we’ve yet to get our set of keys (ehem….now that would be a huge surprise…hehehe). Alas, when great minds at work, anything prevails !

It was kinda unsorted at first but it finally worked out well. I honestly thought Aiman was just scoffing about doing it after our successful pull for his but evidently, we did for Andy too. Although it was half a surprise because some guests were suppose to wait it out until after azan but didn’t, the birthday boy (still a boy???) was equally astonished. So much so that he couldn’t finish his meal and overflowed with ultimate contentment.

I must say, it was a very jovial occasion. Imagine getting all the rowdy peeps in one room. Could only mean one thing… maximum havoc !

Another successful creation ! Mucho gusto !

Good job all ! What would Andy be without us…. helplessly depressed…hehehe

Luv ya too Dd !

Road scum

A nincompoop sod driving a proton iswara plate no. WDY 9778 hit my car on the right hand side rear corner on a jam Monday morning ! Shocked, I looked at him and I was about to pull aside and sort it out when the scum just fled off. No he doesn’t deserve being called a scum. He’s a road dirt. A filthy nano organism that spoils the street and people’s property with a micronano dick and no balls whatsoever to admit his wrongs ! Honestly, the dent is bearable and the scratches would probably clear with a good polish but the thought that he’s not man enough to apologize for being a nuisance and do not know how to guess his gap on the road blows me off big time !

I made a police report just so he get a summon and hopefully blacklisted. I hope he gets a court order. Even better if he’s one of those loser that doesn’t pay his summons and get caught by the police and drag to the station and spend a week in prison.

Anyone see this car anywhere, do me a favour and give him a deep long scratch ! I’ll treat you to Chilis if you do. *Pictures of scratch and plate # is required for proof*

Malay vs Melayu

I am proud to say that I belong to the most privilege race in Malaysia. Thanks to our ancestor that fought hard to ensure the independence of the country for the betterment of the next generation. We are given so much privilege no wonder other race finds us pompous. Having said that, other race has their pros and cons too.

The perception that ‘melayu’ can’t work, lazy and always give excuses to bail responsibility is not an understatement because I’ve seen it and it is a shame to see how true that is. So we, the ‘booming malay’ strive harder to prove otherwise. BUT when individuality gets in the way of recognition, they play dirty. This applies to all races. Really.

I needed to raise my voice just so my ‘melayu’ coworker understands that I was not playing win-lose and that I wanted it to be team reliability. This fella defense mechanism is so high that a simple hello implies mischief to him. Serious. I am not proud of what happened especially that it was heard by everyone on the floor. Others scoff at me later cause this is the first time I showed my anger in the last 16 months I’ve been there. I don’t understand what’s the point calling people stupid or brainless in an argument especially when they jump to conclusion, making their own assumption before knowing the fact. What frustrated me is that other ethnic are so understanding and accommodating, you feel ashamed how these ‘melayu’ works.

I am not saying all ‘melayu’ are the same but in the industry dominated by others, its sad to see how others helped each other to grow while ‘melayu’ rooting for one’s downfall.

The other day at the orphanage, the ustaz was saying that an elderly questioned him did he ask permission for the orphans to do their prayers in the surau. Meanwhile, the next door neighbour, who happens to be an india christian was more than happy to gives whatever the orphanage need.

So, is this really an ethnic issue or individual attitude? I think the perception of how certain race ‘suppose’ to act clouded most people judgement. I guess generally when people get deceitful, indirectly sometimes, the whole race gets judged too. Sigh.

Then what is ‘malay’? I don’t know really. We’ll see.

Tête-à-tête

Just when you think you know someone really well, u’re proven wrong. A session of random Q&A revealed more info than you ever likely to know. It was really cool. Now I know the good, the bad and the ugly side of my wicked cohort and same goes to them… hehehehe….

I’m blushing… hehehehe… eh that was Ezz with Wally….hehehe… and Wally must be flattered that his name is in my blog…or maybe not. Enjoy it while it’s there beb !


I will never view chocolate the same way again ! The sun in Tuscany is different than here ! First impressions are always wrong ! Shape of a lip depicts the kind of kisser one is ! A cherish friendship soothe a lonesome heart ! There’s something about Tuscany ! What or who matters most in time of need ! One word has much significance! Apparent impish wishes ! Brokeback living but not in Tuscany ! Fantasies can come true ! Things you thought only happen on-screen, happens real life too ! Public display of affection ! Self rating ! Perfect imperfection ! Flaws are an asset !

Though some details were filtered (for the good of mankind !), the essence was yummy enough to digest.

I think it was one of the most boundless tête-à-tête I had with a group.

I just love the spelling tête-à-tête but how the hay do you pronounce it?

Sirpwiseeeee

Couple of days before 8th, Dd and I made calls to those close at heart. We told the other 1/3 that three of us will have dinner. On the day itself, myself and not-in-the-know ling reached an hour later than planned. Both of us had work to finish before the weekend. Typical for me living in an advertising life and as for the other, cause he will be away again for 10 days.

Just came back from Bangkok tuh… me no like. Hummphh…

Told ling nature’s call so had to parked the car and head up for a leak and coincidently Dd had stomachache too. The door was supposed to be left opened. That was agreed 20 mins before. We make sure that the car would be parked away from the rest. Everything was going as plan. Just turn the knob. Turning… er.. still turning… why doesn’t the door open…

“You suppose to knock maybe….”

“Yeah but it’s suppose to be unlock. He said he will leave it open”
(Dang it! Why didn’t he unlocked the door. Alas, this is not the great mind at work. What can I say….)

Ding dong !

Door opened without a shadow in sight. I walked in just so he’ll be the last in.

As plan.

Then suddenly…. SURPRISE !!

Out from the study, came Ezz, Andy, Fara, Kast, Md Nor and.. whatisname… sorry I forgot. Aiman walked back towards the door like he wanted to flee from the scene. Of course we got him Choc Indulgence with 2…errrr… countless candles which do not justify the wording on the cake.

You know I know enough la ek..hehehe…

I was worried that Aiman didn’t like surprise party but he did and he was surprised !

Andy and I first time effort works ! Me likey !
Happy birthday Aiman ! Wishing you funfilling years ahead !.. with your lings2 of coz !

It was a delightful evening. Food was fulfilling and the troupe was groovy.

Talking about food makes me really hungry now. Shucks !

Years ago today (ehem on years), he went back to his root. Yikes ! Hehehe !


Assalamualaikum ya habibi ya maulana.

Going over

OD on Saturday with excessive body training that up until today, I’m physically in pain and tensed in movement. Could it be my body telling me that I’ve no privilege to abuse it as before? Dang, true when they say nothing last forever. Shucks !

To top on my agony, met up with Mel in Poppy that night. We have not gad for 7 or 9 months ! I lost count. Still a sweetie and I were surprised to see Alfred. He looks absolutely good. He lost more than half his size and turning to be quite a connected young fella. I’m not surprise. He has the gusto. We had a maître d' and bodyguard to attend to us. I never felt so VIP...hehehe…

Meanwhile, both lings spent the whole day supposedly getting Maman’s stuff for umrah and gotten more than Mecca required *wink* Dd came by an hour before closing to be my leaning bod and woke up super early on Sunday to send Maman off.

Things you do for your loved ones hay Dd… even if it’s left-sided… hehehehe….


In conjunction with Aiman’s birthday, I sent in an annual leave and started making plan for Friday. At the back of my mind, I was hopeful it will realise. Alas, one hope life in an agency is in one’s control… NOT ! I will need to come in for a presentation.

So Eva, let’s change it to next week and we’ll see.

Very determine to take leave. Just not in the mood to work. One of those days that you wish you can take a month off and money still bank-in. Sigh.

And Aiman is away doing umrah... which means… we’ll celebrate his birthday with him in heart. LOL !

Unwritten rules that should be written

  • A man do not give a woman a kiss on the cheek the first time they're introduce because it would indicate the man's a player or want to get intimate. However, a woman can do the contrary because it means she welcomes the new company.
  • After spending or socialising the night together with mutual friends, it's ok for a man to give a woman a kiss on the cheek because at this point, they're friends.

  • A woman does not kiss a man on the cheek if he is with his girlfriend and worst, a jealous wife that do not know her. The partner will think that her boyfriend/hubby is having an affair and flirts behind her back and every other woman out there is a bitch and wants her other half. Vice versa.
  • Unless the man is gay, kiss or hug him all night, the partner won't mind. BUT if he is a bisex, then, that can get complicated.
  • If she's a lesbian, neither man nor woman should do any kissing or hugging. Her butch partner gets upset either way !

  • You're a man if you drink a beer. You're a tough woman if you do... but alas, it's not cool for a woman to drink beer because fear you're tougher than a man.
  • A man who smokes Salem is perceive unmanly but a woman who does is smoking a pros ciggie. Now, who give a dang. A smoke is a smoke. It kills you. Then again, anything could too.

  • A woman and a man can be best friends and avoid getting into sexual intimacy. You can hold hands, hug each other and kiss on cheek. Some may even give a peck on the lips but beyond is not allowed. There are boundaries no matter how close and open-minded one can be.
  • It's ok for woman to kiss each other on the lips but never for a man unless you're italian or french but these rules are for Asian culture... but aren't Asian suppose to be timid and conservative when it comes to proximity.

  • A friend will automatically cover up another friend's excuse to his/her partner when he/she simply says it out loud in front of his/her other half. It ain't right but it's ok.
  • If the friend tells the truth to his/her friend's other half, it's the right thing to do but it ain't ok !

  • You do not date/have an affair/sleep with your friend's brother/sister/boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife EVER.
  • Even if they have broken off, you do not befriend them EVER.
  • If it happens, tell your friend personally and know by far, you're still in the wrong.
  • If your friend accept you, that's great friendship !
  • Never let a man or a woman stands in the way of good friendship.

  • Intergroup relationship is seldom encourage but accepted.
  • Intergroup wealth is encourage but silently kept avoided.

Actual Australian Court Docket 12659

CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are Coming' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling', and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick', and I could hardly contain myself. BUT, your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident' I just lost it!"

CASE DISMISSED!!

Uncanny friday

Its uncanny how life takes it turns something. One moment you have all the freedom you could asked for, and in one blink it changes, and everything falls apart.

What else is new right. Anyhoot it has been one hectic and crazy challenge for me this whole week. I don’t even have time to pee. That’s how hectic it has been and I’m emotionally stressed. To top it off, my car requires service and absorber change. The car not even a year n it needs changes already. Glad it’s still under warrantee *pweh*

In three weeks, it’s puasa time already. Time flies so fast. The next thing you know, I’m stepping another milestone of no longer in 2-0s.

In denial to state the truth of the matter even…. Hehehehe…


More than often lately people are asking for my age. It could only be two reasons:
(A) my designation makes them curious coz my youthful look confuses them; or
(B) I don’t act my age when I should and they demand it.

In-denial-me would definitely choose (A) but in actual fact (B) is spot on. Alas, comes reason (C) I have so much zest and personality that they can’t read right through me.

Option (C) always sounds better!
