The Day My Heart Almost Stop

I was at hotel's Fun Pub for Daniel's farewell dinner when I received a sms for Od.

Od: Babe, Jaya kat SS14 runtuh!
Me: Huh, apsal wey?

Od: Taktau..Cuba tanya Shamin apsal.


I didn't reply her last messaged because I was concentrating on GM's speech and followed by Daniel's speech. After about an hour, I went back to the office and packed my things for Caroline's birthday dinner. Suddenly, I was thinking about Od's last messaged and that time I felt like my heart going to stop. Shit, Shamin's office is in SS14, one of the Jaya!!! Picked up my phone, and start calling him. It rang a few times and suddenly the line cut off. Tried again but voice mail. Tried few times after that but still voice mail. I started panicking. I called Od and asked her for the confirmation of which Jaya, but unfortunately she also not sure about it and she promised to find out for me (news not yet come out at this time). I was worried and can't stop thinking about it. I sent a message to him, "Min, are u ok? Please call me back once u read this message"
I finished my dinner with the girls (Carol, Joanne & Bhav) around 10.30pm and on my way back home, I received a call from him.

Shamin: Hi babe. Where are you?
Me : On my way back home. Min, you ok or not?

Shamin: Ya, I'm ok.

Me : Thank God you are ok.

Shamin: Sorry my phone battery flat. You called me regarding our holiday is it?

Me : No!!!!! Od told me one of the Jaya in SS14 collapsed! I'm worried because I don't know
which Jaya.
Shamin: Owh, Jaya Supermarket, right in front of my office.


The conversation continued for about 20 minutes. Thank God, I was so relief. Straight called Od.

Me: Babe, thank God!!! Shamin just called me & he is ok.
Od: Really? I've told you not to worry too much.

Me: Ok, now I can breath as usual hehehehe


Oh my God, it was so scary man! But thank God everything was ok.

Another Day Trip To KL

I don't have a rest at least for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Been really busy with work and also preparation for Nadia's engagement and wedding. I don't have time for my friends, not even for myself. I think I'm going to collapse soon with this hectic life.
Last Saturday I went to KL with dad, mum and Nadia purposely to take Nadia's engagement baju and to buy a few stuffs. We reached KL around 11 something and we went straight to Jalan Masjid India.
First stop, Semua House to take Nadia's baju. Need to alter a bit for her kain because the lining more panjang than the outside. Lucky the tailor can alter it on the day itself. And actually, Nadia left the tailor card at home but didn't tell anybody except me. She was so scared that my dad will scold her because of the card and luckily, the tailor didn't make noise about it.

Nadia and her tailor discussing about the payment

While waiting for Nadia's kain to be altered, we headed off to Jakel as my dad wanted to look for his songket. Me myself also wanted to look for any ready made baju kurung as I'm the only one who doesn't have any matching baju for the event. After that, we walked along Jalan Masjid India, one shop after one shop. We were looking for my baju and also materials for the girls. This one for Nadia's reception. She wants them to wear the same materials on that day just because it will look nice in the photo.

Colours to choose

We bought 15 sets of the same materials for our cousins plus one extended family member and also for Nadia's pengapit, Anes. It took some times for the staff at that shop to settle the materials as he needs to get it from the store.
Nadia chose this colours, not so clear here but I'm sure it will turn out good during the day

Both of them were so tired and joined the staff sit on the floor

Owh, I refused to sit on the floor..ahahahah

Our next stop was Gulati's and Euro Moda. Unfortunately, nothing I can buy and we met my dad at Insaf for Nasi Beriyani. After finished our lunch, came back to Semua House, took Nadia's baju and we headed to KLCC as my bro, Jeffry was waiting for us there. My dad wanted to buy a pair shoes for Jeffry, mainly for Nadia's wedding. Psycho.So, the searching started. Owh, bear in mind, this is the 'muntah darah' part where he only wanted the designer brands for his son!!!

First stop, Ferragamo. They got sales there. While both of them were looking at the shoes, I was searching for a ballerina pump that I kept on eye for quite some times. They got but unfortunately the colour that I was looking for not there, and it was slightly different from what I wanted. As they were having sales, the price is quite reasonable for that brand. Nadia and me already measure the correct size for our ballerina pump as daddy will go to London again somewhere in July. Hopefully, I will get this time round.
I know this design came out quite long ago, but I love it and I don't have enough money to buy it last time

Jeffry can't decide which shoes he wanted, so we moved to our second stop. Gucci. Got a few shoes that suits him, but my dad didn't like it. While Jeffry tried a couple of shoes, myself and Nadia tried a few shoes too. But Gucci is not my thing. I don't know why, but I just don't like it.
Since they still wanted to look around the other designers, we moved to our third stop. This time around Tods. But nothing suits him for the event. By this time, we (mum, Nadia & me) already tired and can't moved our feet to follow them.

After Tods, they went to the next stop, Armani followed by Bally and LV. But after that came back to Ferragamo. Hey, LV??? That is daddy's standard to wear LV shoes. Arghhh..I walked around for a while and tested a few handbags and managed to convience my dad to buy the same design of handbag when he is going to London in July. Crossing my finger tight. The journey to find one pair of shoes didnt finish yet. Jeffry still can't decide which one he wanted to get. Then we went back to Gucci. Saw the shoes, tried a a few pairs. Myself n Nadia already flat there but was entertained by looking at one Malay couple in there. Hahahahaha.

They were looking at one shoes after one and I was snapping their pictures until somebody stopped me.

Yes. I stopped snapping the pictures after somebody stopped me.

Sales Guy: Excuse me miss, you are not allowed to take photo inside here.
Me: Opss, sorry.
Nadia: Ala, she wasn't snapping at your things la. She was snapping at our dad's photo and my brother's curly hair. (rolled eyes)
Sales Guy: I'm so sorry miss, but that is our policy.
Me: Let's go to Ferragamo then.

Hahahahaha. Yes, we went to Ferragamo after that as Jeffry decided to take the one in Ferragamo. That time also, he was a bit confused which one to take. And after another tried, he took one.

Quoted from Nadia "after this, please sleep with shoes"

He took nearly 3 hours to get that shoes. Eiiii sabar je la kan. He needs to rushed back to Taman Tun as he was on split shift and needs to get back to work at 6pm. From KLCC, we went to Ikea. Our normal visit every time we were in KL. I met up with Audrey & Agnes at The Curve for coffee and oxygen. Yes, the whole day wey!!! After that, we went to Ikano to buy Nadia's bedsheet. I got one for myself also. Then we had dinner at Thai Express, The Curve with them.
Went back quite late, around 11pm as we were waiting for Jeffry to finish his work. Reached Kuantan nearly 2 o'clock in the morning. Sigh. Tired plus I missed Daniel's farewell party.
Owh, no photos after KLCC because I was damn tired and lazy to snap any photos. My feet felt like tercabut and the next day, Sunday was another busy day with Nadia. Sigh.

Internship Fair-Taylor's College

After came back from Putrajaya, I still had to work on Friday and Saturday, and went to KL on Sunday. No, not for my normal leisure time there with my friends. Went for Internship Fair at Taylor's College on Monday.
We (Gerard, Rita & Me) stayed in Holiday Villa Subang as its nearer to Taylor's College. Planned to meet with Aud or Nis but unfortunately I had to time at all. Reached Subang late evening, then we had to go out for a meeting with one of the board member. Damn it!!!
Took a quick shower, then off to Shangri-La. Had dinner while having the meeting and continued with the drinking session until quite late.
After a long day and night, I woke up a bit early the next day for the Internship Fair, and reached there almost 11 am.

Taylor's College


The set-up in the interview hall

A few hotels involved in this Internship Fair such as Shangri-La, Impiana, Crystal Crown, and Thistle PD & JB. We managed to get 11 students for the internship and we wrapped up. Didn't wait until they finished as we already got our target.

While waiting for the candidates


During the interview session. My boss doesn't look like a Dir.of HR..


From Taylor's we straight went to Sentul area to meet up with our outsource agent. Had our late lunch there, near Tawakal Hospital. I managed to meet Audrey there and she gave cupcakes for my mum.
Finally Audrey met Gerard after so long heard about him. Hahahahahaha.
I drove all the way from KL to Kuantan and reached home around 8 something. Damn, it was tiring man! Worst because I still need to go to work the next day. Haven't got my rest. Sigh. Why la why????? APEKAH????

One Of The Tiring Day

My day started at 5.30 in the freaking morning last Thursday as I had to take the earliest flight to KL.
ETD Kua-Kul 6.50 am. I was thinking to take a nap in the 40 minutes flight but unfortunately I can't even close my eyes. Reached KLIA at 7.30am and after a quick oxygen time, I rushed down to KLIA Transit counter ticket. Managed to catch ERL at 7.45am to Putrajaya. When I reached Putrajaya Station, I took a cab to Immigration in Precint 2. Everything went well so far.

Just to send this one paper work-Expatriate Application

In my heart, please God hope everything will be ok in the Immigration office. When I reached Expatriate Department in 3rd floor, there were about 3 peoples waiting for their turn. I was observing whats going on in that department because I had issue with them and they made me so annoyed with them before.
So my turn came, I went to the counter and handed over my paper work. The Officer, she checked it and asked me a few questions. Suddenly she said, I need to get certification for 3 documents, Form 9,24,49. Damn!!! I was thinking, shit..Why they didn't tell me earlier wey. Ok nevermind, I think I'm ok. I know I can manage. As per the officer, I need to go to SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) The Mall. I took a deep breath, walked off from that department and took a cab to Putrajaya Station. I went up straight to the ticket counter and asked for the KLIA Transit to KL Sentral.

Still fresh, in the KLIA Transit from Putrajaya to KL Sentral

At first, I thought want to get Shahrir help me as his office just beside Immigration but unfortunately, he was in KLCC to attend one stupid assembly whatsoever. I reached KL Sentral. I got 3 options to go to The Mall.
Option 1: Take Komuter from KL Sentral to The Mall
Option 2: Take Putra LRT from KL Sentral to Masjid Jamek and change to STAR LRT to The Mall
Option 3: Take a cab straight to The Mall
When I looked at my watch, I chose option 3 because it was 10 something, and traffic not so bad and I know I can get there fast. Without having any breakfast, I walked around The Mall and asked a few peoples where exactly SSM. One of the Starbucks staff told me to go to 2nd floor. Went there but they can't provide the certification as the department that can give certification in 13th floor. Walked around again to find a lift to level 13. Managed to find that place. Not so many people there so in my heart, I know it will ok and smooth.
I got my number and when I sit at one of the workstation to check the documents, then suddenly I can't move my hand. My shirt stuck at the table and it was a small paku. Shit!!! my baju koyak at my lengan. Damn it!! Why la this time kan. I was so malu but, I didn't care. I just wanted to finish up that fast so I can get back to Putrajaya on time.

My dad asked for the prove that my baju koyak where I had to waste my money at Parkson


Finished up everything there, I just walked as if nothing happen. As I walking around, I noticed a few peoples kept on looking at me. Hahahahaha. It was funny but what to do. Called Audrey and she was laughing at me like hell. She suggested me to get a new shirt. Damn again. Went to Parkson and get a new shirt and changed immediately there. Oh God, why la. I finished up everything there almost 12 o'clock and got my coffee at Starbucks. Sit for a while, took a cab to KL Sentral and around 1.15pm I was in the ERL to Putrajaya. On my way to Putrajaya, I kept on praying that nothing bad will happen again as I was damn tired already and sleepy. I was awake since 5.30 in the morning for God sake!!
Reached Putrajaya Station around 1.15pm and I took a cab straight to Immigration office. Went there and wait for a while at Expatriate Department. Finally, they accepted my paper work. I was so relief, and I managed to convience them to put my paper work in the list for the meeting next day so that I can get the result faster than it supposed to be.
Went down and called Shahrir to find out whether he is around or not so that, I can have my lunch with him. He was on his way to KL to attend a course. So, I've decided to go straight to KLIA. I took a cab again to Putrajaya Station and got my ticket to KLIA.

While waiting for the train KLIA Transit

Look at the so oily,tired,kusut n comot face

Last Station before KLIA - Salak Tinggi Station

I reached KLIA around 3pm. Thank God, at least I know I'm safe and I won't miss my flight back to Kuantan.
Took my sweet little time at Mc'Donalds and had my lunch there. After that, I was sitting in one of the cafe and was having my coffee while skyping with Audrey.

Her Sister's Bestfriend Is A Wife Now

Linda married last two weeks but I didn't have time to put up here. Linda is my sister, Nadia's besfriend. I've known her for ages. I didn't managed to attend her nikah the night before, so I went to her hometown in Temerloh early morning with my mum. We wanted to arrive early, to be exact, before her bersanding thingy. We we reached there, she was doing her make up and my sister too. After a while, my mum asked me to eat first. The food was damn good. So long never had the plain rice with the all lauk kampung. Damn good I tell you. I know, I know..I'm not supposed to eat rice, but all the lauks was so tempting. I screwed my diet. Shit. Hahahahaha..



Linda's hantaran for the groom


The pelamin, simple but nice


Yes, Nadia was her pengapit

During the bersanding

I was the photgrapher for my sister, thats why I didn't have any single of my picture during the wedding. I thought I asked my mum to snap a few shots of Linda and me but when I checked back, it was not in my camera. I really don't know what happened. Surely mum press the wrong button on my camera. Aiyoo..

I went back right after she finished her bersanding because I couldn't take the heat. I went back to my sister's house and waited for them to go back to Kuantan. The picture below was taken while waiting for them. Hahahaha

My vain moment :p

Look at my hair. Its getting longer. Yeay!!

Owh, anyway Linda, congratulations for both of you. I'm happy for you. May God bless your marriage.

I Lost My Mind To...

Some bengap peoples in my work place. Sabar je la kan..Hotel is super duper busy with negative rooms available, and everybody in the hotel are busy. But sometimes, some peoples are just not understand with term of busy and keep on doing the silly mistakes.

First thing in the morning, I received a sms from my other colleague asked me to talk and settle one issue about the health cards. After had my morning coffee, I called the rest of my team for a quick briefing. After explained to them what they are supposed to do, I was expecting everyone understands what I was talking about because they did tell me they know how to do it. So, I was relief because I thought I can count on them as I have several issues to handle + a few reports to finish up by today. I kept talking to myself that I have to finish up all my reports so that I don't have to work tomorrow and enjoying my public holiday at home. More to bangun lambat sebenarnya. Ok, back to the story, this one girl in my office, who I assigned to finish up the whole thing about the health card kept on sending the wrong name list and she was sending the wrong information to all staff. Hoi, I've told her earlier and she was confidently answered me that she knows how to do it after a few times explaining to her. Ok, if you understands what I was saying, then why kept on doing the same mistakes. Apa ke bengap sangat ko ni kan!!! Sabar je la. Owh, by the way, do you guys know what is bengap mean? Bengap = Idiot!! Because of kebengapan her, I have to ask my other girl to sit down and help her to settle that thing as soon as possible. This was early morning, around 10 something, and she took half a day to settle it. Again, sabar je la.. Because of that, I had to explain the whole situation to my Exec Chef and Dir. of F&B, not to mention a long lecture that I got from our doctor. Sigh. Ok, settled one part.

I just about to step out from my office for lunch when I received a call from Exec Chef telling me there were bunch of policemen in our cafeteria and nicely enjoying their lunch there. I was shocked because I didn't receive any emails whatsoever about the policemen will have their meals in our cafeteria. owh, by the way, policemen are around because of the Hockey Asian Cup where all the players from other countries are staying in our hotel for two weeks. Ok fine. I called Security Manager to find out what was going on. He said he didn't know anything about it. Nevermind. Rileks lagi ni. Sabar lagi time ni. I called the other person and he nicely told me that he is the one who allowed the policemen to have their lunch in our cafeteria. I was, oh my god. You want to be a Dir of HR ke apa wey?! Suka-suka je kan..I lost it for the second time today. He was explaining why he allowed those policemen eating there because during CYC (Youth Cup) last year, all policemen were having their meals at our cafe. Last year citer last year la doink! That time because GM instructed us to allow them to eat at the cafeteria. But this year, no arrangement at all. Ko giler ke hape, kalau tetiba GM muncul kat cafe and tengok all policemen there, tak ke I yang kena. Another bengap!! Sakit jantung ok. After nicely kena from me, all the policemen dissapeared. I canceled my lunch and continued doing my work as I didn't have appetite to eat already. Sick la wey...

Then came evening, one of the Sous Chefs came to my office and asked us why two of his guys that supposed to report and sign the contract didn't turn up yesterday. Hey, your people then you call and find out la. Asal nak suruh budak I yang call plak kan. He left our office just like that and came again with all the stupid questions. I lost it again. I don't entertain stupid questions from so called Assistant Manager level. You took off for two days without followed up with the guys, and ordered my girl to do the call for you. Your people didn't turn up for the contract signing, so I was assume they are not interested. If they are really interested, they should come what. Stupid! Sabar je la. Another bengap for the day...

I didn't mean to be harsh or rude especially to those who are older than me. This three people are much more older than me but hey, please act as one matured people la. And think as your age. Tak paham la. They sure thought that I was being too harsh and aggresive towards them. What do you expect people!! When I'm being a nice to you all people, you tend to step on my head, so this what you got..Sorry la wey, I just couldn't take it. Hurmmm...so long never mengamuk like this. But one thing I noticed, if my bos, Gerard is not around, people try to take advantage of us. When Gerard is around, they never got a chance to do like this. Arghhhh menyusahkan orang betul la. Bengap tau orang-orang ni. Whatever la people, as long as I did my part. To end that, I rest my case. Full stop.

Our Time Together After So Long

We had our time together at our usual hang out joint last night. The normal four of us. After struggling to finish my works, I've decided to leave and drop by at Charles B's office. Saw him and he asked me to accompany him for a couple of drinks. Called the other Charles and he wanted to leave too. Went there and Suren came 10 minutes later. We had fun talking nonsense, just to distract our mind from work. From a quick drink, it became until late night. Normal. But after all we had fun. I had fun. Song long never done it.
Owh by the way, I might need go to work today. After lunch maybe. Just to show face as hotel is damn busy. Screw my public holiday.
