OHEMGEE!!

hey babess!!

ok ok i know its been forever!! but so much has been going on n i sgt xde masa mood nk mem-blog wen my life is so topsy turvy at d mo.

i feel like a salt shaker sumtimes... shake shake shake!! sumer terbalik2 ok

anyhoo!!

i might be in for a HUGE career change soon..

i dont know if im doing the right thing but in life u gotta take some risks rite?

next year is gonna be a whole new chapter for me!

i so hope its gonna be great!

hello 2010, be good to janna ok?

also!

we had cakbina's bday earlier dis month!

can u believe she's a year old alreadyy???

kak in made this spectacular castle cake!!

she was rather disappointed w it, pillars jatuh la, colour xcantik la- i dont know.. i was mighty impressed by it!!

anything that is homemade and is taller then birthday girl gets my vote!

i dont have pics tho...

i meant to transfer it from my now penuh giler cam but havent got around to doing it!

note to self- tlg la transfer pics!! its full to d brim u cant take anymoree new pics!!

on another note- i went on a teambuilding organised by IBM at pullman putrajaya recently

Ohemgee!! i discovered so much abt myself!!

like how tebal muka i can b! esp wen in desperation!! i practically robbed a contractor of his ladder! n forced a hotel worker to give me his big huge blue basin!!

nk win punye pasal...

but it wasnt in vain!!

we won 3rd place!!

granted we werent champions but we were the ONLY all girls team AND there were like 24 teams altogather!!

how great are we???

we also had to eat a cabbage, 2 garlic cloves, a bittergourd, and a HUGE onion!- all raw mind u!!

gross okkk!!

that was all part o a 'ala amazing race challenge' dat we won 3rd place!!

n i also scored 3 goals for my team in one o d challenges!!

who wud hv thot i could even get one goal? let alone 3?

b4 kickin d ball we had to place our forehead on a short pole n spin around it 7 times

n as soon as u angkat ur forehead, u has 5 seconds to kick d ball

so nxt time i play futsal, i shall spin around a pole w my forehead stuck to it 7 times..

den mayb i get a score or two

and did i mention we won 3rd place??

anyway!

i curik dis 2 photos off my cousins fb

enjoy!

theres just been an over dose of drama in my life lately

one i wish i can run away from

driving to work every morning i contemplate not taking the cyber exit, instead, i wanna go straight to klia, book the next flight out to anywhr and just go! be spontaneous!

then i would think about how i dont have any clothes! n make up! shoes! toiletteries!

omg how to survive!

i take the exit every morning wishing i was sumwhr else

i had a wonderful weekend! i finally watched the ugly truth!! awesome possum!!

pls watch it! bt leave ur men at home.. dis is one u should def watch w ur girlfrens

saturday started w me being a total couch potato or rather a bed potato? since i refused to get outta bed till 230 at noon.

den went out for a bit o shopping (i got new quilt set!)

den went for a movie w nenah pastu discovered we had an hour an a bit to kill b4 d movie

so we headed to uptown for a massage omg best sgt!

pastu kne marah ngn d org getting a massage in d room opposite o us..

ok fine.. cranky kot?

ok yeah we were super a lil bising...

wen we finally shut up (after 2 kali kne sound) dia kot yg bising!!

snored like an elephant!!

anyway!

our massage ended at 7pm n our movie was at 705

we still managed 2 buy popcorn n hot dogs

bt we missed d beginning o d show.. ok promise lapar kot after massage??

had drinks w d girls at curve after dat

sunday morning saw me heading down to d gym w nenah

disspointed sbb pagi2 bute xde hot guys weekend so penat la..

tp penat kot burning fat while laughing!??!

omg!!

this just in!!

mary just sed my bum looks big!!

my life is over!!!

m gonna go bury myself alive kt plot sbelah ofc ni...

gudbye world...

random thots inside my head

dior poison reminds me of my mom during her younger days

freshly cut grass and ubat nyamuk coil brings me back to dusk at kampung wen i was a little girl

joy mango juice means travelling on an airplane coz they always serve that

grey coloured pencils always used to make me dizzy for some reason

my school was really big wen i was growing up... i went by d other day n it seemed to have shrunk

weetbix makes me gag till today.. a result of having been forced by papa to down it every morning wen i was 7

froot loops used to make me happy... nowadays i find it a lil too citrusy

i loved d mary janes with frilly socks phase.. so cute!!

i ate fish fingers a lot

i lost all my polly pocket dolls.. tinggal d clam shaped rumah je..

my hair was as curly as sue..

but they grew up

my tummy hurts..

and im off to d gym!

ok xde kene mengene...

just random thots..

thank god d day is over i cant wait to get back!

mwahh!!

Sometimes the hardest thing and the rite thing are the same...

That time of year again...

its dat time o year again!

when we make our way back to our hometowns to be with our loved ones

and share stories of our childhood...

when the toilet is forever occupied...

and there is never a free plug to charge our phones...

when sleeping space becomes a story o survival...

when old albums are dragged out to laughters of big hairs, how skinny ppl were and how funny ppl dressed..

and food is always in abundance...

its the time o year when we mourn those who have gone..

yes...

its dat time o year again...

when family is all that matters...

and im loving every single second o it!

i hope u r too :)

big huggggs all round!!!

the daylight's fading slowly

ohemgee...

i took me almost three hours to get to work today... i arrived frazzled and disturbed.. a shadow of my chirpy freshly blown hair happy self wen i left home...

sum pipe decided today was the day it was gonna burst resulting in a water fountain making an appearance in the middle o d highway at seri kembangan.

i was stuck at the puchong toll for an hour!!

one whole hour!!

one whole hour of singing like a cat on heat, bitching on d phone, doing my already done face, and looking at my shoe collection..

one whole hour wasted..

n dat was only at the toll!

took nearly two hours to move 2 inches at a time to be diverted to dis small jln in front o a petronas  *whr i stopped to refuel*

lepas petronas omg d jln was so clear!!

it was so xciting to b driving w no obstacles!

to not have to jam on the brakes every second!

it made me feel so alivee!!!

i left at 715 in the morning and reached the office at 945..

two hours forty five mins..

i could be in melaka pigging out on glorious baba nyonya fare rite now..

or happily going thru a plate o chicken rice in ipoh...

but no!

im squinting my eyes trying to decipher a req yg xikut format!!

isshhhh!!

i could be that girl.. waiting to dig in..

so full of life..

 alas... life isnt always perfect...

eh emo plak pagi2!!

have a wonderful day darlings!

miracle weekend

ok im such a dweeb!

i was using the old blogspot pre-set previously, n i so wanted to do this. yes that. the line thingy and didnt kno how to. so korok okk!!

but i do noww!!

clever girl!!

im so IT challenged!!

anyway!

twas a wonderful relaxing weekend for me :)

and also a rather emotional one

i mended a 14 year friendship, sumtin i should have done sooner

and im gonna b maid of honour at her upcoming wedding!- a childhood promise we made to each other way back..

before boys.. before the stress of studies... jobs... and life...

weve got so much to catch up on!!

bt im glad it happened..

and im so thankful for that river of mascara tears in the middle of a crowded restaurant that was my calling..

my darlings!!

thank u nenah luff u forever cik man k!!

n didi!!

i missed u!!!

hugggssss!!!

main actors dan extra sorg kt tgh2 tu yg mcm tgk spanish telenovela nangis xabes den siap bole ckp 'korg... kuat sket... xdgr..'

bliss..

its dat time o month..

im not fasting...

and life is great :)

ive done nothing but watch back to back episodes o greys anatomy that is long over dued.

ive been sitting in cakbina's mini one seater sofa that i dragged into my room w my eyes glued to d screen-

with intervals every 5 mins to run down and raid the fridge i kid u not.

theres a certain happiness i feel wen i eat in the daytime..

and a certain excitement wen im eating at daytime during fasting month..

a rush o adrenalin..

i dont think i ate this much in the day at normal times

its like ive never eaten before..

its embarassing really...

but im so gonna cherish this 6 days of bliss im gonna have..

and milk it for all its worth..

dont u just wanna bite her nose off?

i know i do :)

raya came early this year!

our matching baju raya is readyy!!!

over x?? mama dia pon bj xmatching ngn dia, mama na yg gedik nk baju same..

ok bt i swear she looks so cute in bj kurungg!!!

can u say mini makcikk??!!






chilling w mama na- ok sebenarnye she's looking at a vid of her on my phone.. gedik tau.. - muke nk cam chucky plak tu..

The orphan... dan fopcorn

we watched the orphan lastnite.. my frens were rather disappointed by it bt hey- it was a horror film and i was scared plenty so im not complaining..

this little girl named esther is an orphan who was adopted by a nice family who unfortunately lost a baby girl due to miscarriage..

she started off all sweet and perfect, she curtsies btw.. before she blooms into a full blown psycho killer

she goes on to kill the nun who cared for her at the orphanage so cruely and actually made her new 4 year old deaf sister help her pull the body off the road.. she killed the nun w a hammer ok.. kate psycho..

ok sape yg plan nk pg tgk dis movie stop reading here pls

anyway! omg sebenarnye minah ni is a psycho killer who's not a child at all!! she's got sum rare hormone defect sumtin or other that prevents her from growing like a normal person..

so she looks like a nine year old but in actual fact, she's actually 33!!! omg tua giler minah psycho kecik nihh!! she escaped from this mental hospital in russia n has been killing all her adoptive family!

she also came on to all of her adoptive dads.. who all died btw.. lesson here is always listen to ur wife.. do not dismiss her as an alcoholic who cannot think straight.. tgk.. kn dah mati! c whr ur stupid ego got u?? 6 feet under!! *ok jgn emo pls*

sgt suspen ok...

the minah seated beside mary screamed at every turn o d movie n her bf kept clicking his tongue in disapproval... bukak pintu pon nk jerit apakah???

mary dealt w her suspense a lil differently... she gobbled down an entire large popcorn (or fopcorn according to yam) sorg2 okk!! sbb treasure nye pasal...

mary slept over..

krn movie ni we got up late for sahur...

and was late for work..




*ok gamba xde kene mengene w anything bt dhanush was babling on n on about how i dun hv her pic up on my blog... now i do okk!!* mwah

the day the ocean turned pink

the chinese have this belief that your luck changes every 5 years.. meaning if youve had 5 sucky years.. the next 5 would be bliss..

so far.. ive been blessed with a blessedly blissfull life... up till last year that is... when my world turned upside down and all that i have taken for granted came crashing down like perfectly coiffed hair in the rain.. washed away.. leaving behind traces and clumps of hair spray that only made things worse..

im speaking in metaphores coz actually writing or even thinking of the reality makes me cringe and wonder... wat the hell went wrong whr??

since my luck went downhill beginning last year.. im hoping and praying it will NOT last till the year 2012..

sighh....

i need change...

i need to feel a sense of belonging and actual understanding of what im doing and my purpose in life.

im a planner..

i plan things before executing them..

be it going on a trip or simple everyday tasks..

i like planning...

planning is good...

i had my entire life planned out before me..

*note the past tense

things change..

or to put ir more crudely, shit happens!

shit did in fact happen

i still consider myself lucky

plus a little alteration in the plan wouldnt hurt anyone.. rite?

got my head in the clouds

yesterday was the worstest day in my history o working at ibm... if such a word even exist.. we normally get an average of about 10-15 requests a day.. yesterday... we got 26!!! since mon was a public holiday, the req has been building up.. to make matters worse.. half o our team were either on mc or EL.. apakah??? buat keje smpai nk muntah kot??!!

anyway! todays looking much better! only 4 req's so far! fingers crossed it wont multiply too much!

tonite's berbuka will b w d babes... n 2 dudes! D- la's husband... n nadom- basicaly babe jgak lah!

im at a point in my life where im just too tired to think of possibilities or change... tho i so desperately need it!

im so head over heels in love w cakbina!! she can clap n move her body to music now.. but were still waiting on her first tooth... gigi... whr are yoouuuuuu??? she also finds it pretty amusing to slap my cat around...

Hajime Japanese Restaurant

had a wonderful dinner lastnite at hajime at jln damai. i have wanted to try out this place for the longest time! finally went lastnite!

ok i am never... EVER going back to peasant japanese cuisine... u know... genki... sushi king... like eeewww... hahaha!! snob!!

bt seriously... lastnite spoiled it for me...

we started off with the common california handroll... dat was wen i died n went to japs food heaven..





i finally got to try sea urchin!! ive been dying to try this since foreverr!!! it has a naturally sweet taste... not overly fishy... bt even a first timer like me could tell its not really fresh... bt who cares! i finally kno wat sea urchin tastes like!!





d grilled mackeral is TO DIE FOR!! seriously.. ask for salt instead o teppanyaki sauce which i imagine would overwhelm the original sweetness o the fish which was oh-so-fresh! it has a super fatty taste and goes xtremely well w a squeeze o lemon.




this is the golden dragon maki which is salmon n prawns wrapped in rice and a layer o avocado n eel... promise sedapp sgt!



this i didnt particularly fancy tho it has received rave reviews from other food bloggers. its called the california cheese maki.i didnt think the taste o cheese and unagi blended all dat well.. but then again dats just me. it is said to be 'orgasmic'



sashimi was super duper fresh!! im not crazy about sashimi bt this one melts in the mouth i tell u!!



Grilled hotatei (scallops) in special garlic sauce... omg pengsan...



i love kaki fried! i order it everytime i go for japs! its oysters normally fried in batter n breadcrumbs but here they wrapped it in bread n deep fried it.. super sinful in taste...



d only downside is their lack of dessert.. i ordered the coralweed jelly ball coz i love coralweed bt they were out.. so i went for their macha ice cream n mochi... macha ice cream was fab.. bt their mochi wasnt all that great...maybe it was the chestnut powder it was covered in? i dont know.. just didnt hit the spot.. i forgot to take a pic o d mochi



wonderful wonderful dinner. will definitely return again for their mackeral n kaki fried and try more new things!

* i charged my dslr the nite before n relised i left it at home two mins upon arrival... smart or wat??

- was reduced to using my cam phone which rendered me blind after 3 red eye shots... i saw green spots till after dessert..

Weeeee are the CHAMPIONSSS!!!!

pls xcuse my smangat... i seldom win anything so this is big

we wonnnn!!!!!

eh..

WE WONNNN!!!!

fun does not begin to describe it!!! i went crazy mad!! hilang control segala bagai bt it was all worth it!!

WE WONNNN!!!!

ok janna get over urself..

ok pls tgk vid ni sorry its senget!!

u have to watch the last part whr im trying to guess wat Q pei is trying to say omg nk pengsan kottt!! she looked at me n sed "a diamond is????" n i screamed "my bestfrennnn!!!!"

hahahaah so much funn!!1

tomorrow im goin to plaza for a more intense session w ppl from IBM plaza, maxis, IBM tmn tun (vads), KJ, mane lg ntahh...
