Two.o.o.nine 2 two.o.ten

Let’s see, trying to re-call what has happen through the year and jot it down… the ones that I remember by months are as follows:

Jan – Mama’s bday dinner, constant game nites & I was pretty consistent with gym up to Apr
Feb – Our Bandung Trip
Mar – Eliana’s bday bash & went on a cruise (missed papa’s bday! But got him a present =))
Apr – Making career decisions, Zahira’s bday dinner & Recovering $$ and paying debts
May – Chilling at Singapore & leaving my job for another (yeayy!)
Jun – Put's bday dinner, Masuk hutan i.e. Kebun @ Perak – back to nature & Wedding marathons!
Jul – Nas sudden bday bash with visitors from India…(Aunty sophie, Uncle Mahmud, Raja & Noria)
Aug – my quiet n peaceful bday & gallivanting ard Kuantan
Sep – Buka puasa, baking cookies & Raya visiting’s while still recovering $$ and paying debts (collecting some duit raya too!)
Oct – Myra & Nani’s bday bash – karaoke! & confirmation of the new job!
Nov – best ever London trip! Thanks to Put & family!
Dec – Syikin’s bday bash, X’mas in S’pore

And off course the constant movies and lepak sessions with the friends and family throughout the year..it was all great!

Lots of lessons learned through the year
1. I learned to stop putting unachievable goals especially when my heart is not set out 100% for it
2. I learned to make some new friends while maintaining some good old ones
3. I learned to tweet!
4. I learned to let go of things or people more easily
5. I learned to stop expecting much of people
6. I learned that people make mistakes and never admits to it too at times!
7. I learned that people can be nasty when they want to…
8. I learned that the trust I had, had been betrayed...
9. I learned that we must not only not judge a book by the cover but also the words on the cover & preface!
10. I learned that I have done my part by giving advice which was not necessarily taken by those who were so called “listening”
11. I learned that I am able to make new friends even with the sombong look on my face =)
12. I learned that people can disappoint you in many ways
13. I learned that friendship breaks no matter how much you think it would last
14. I learned that a person once respected could easily lose their respect by their own doings/choices
15. I learned that I am able to go on an unexpected sudden holiday trip if I really wanted to – the universe just aligns and give me a chance =)
16. I learned that I can survive in a different job, when I thought I couldn’t
17. I learned that family comes first but sometimes promises with friends must not be broken or you’ll create a distance with them (finding a middle ground)
18. I learned that some friends are reliable and true but some are just acquaintance and best to be left at that level.
19. I learned that I am a human after all and I am at liberty to make mistakes too but I learn from it.


Dear friends, family & silent readers,
I am sorry for all my wrong doings and hope that the next year will bring us all joy and happiness…

Happy New Year 2010!!

X'mas @ Singapore...

My unexpected trip to Singapore was great! well, I bought the bus tickets (aeroline couch) for my parents to visit my cousin & hubby over the X'mas weekend, but then my dad didn't wanna go citing all kinds of invalid excuses, Nat was busy shifting, Zahira was out of town while Nas was working over the weekend which leaves me alone available to go with Mama, so I cancelled my rsvp for a wedding invite and packed my bags the day before..

We boarded the bus at 6am, woke up late! haha, the seats was good..I liked it..It was big and comfy plus got meals..they served nasi lemak for breakfast!...we arrived at 11.15am, Noria & Raja picked us up in their brand new car (weeee!!) and brought us straight for lunch at a Kerala Cuisine...The food was good and the dessert was great! I'm definately going back there!!

That's Falooda, the dessert that I liked so much (pink long glass) & Kulfi, the Indian Ice-cream...

We went home rested a while while I continued playing games on Noria's pink laptop..well I have been addcited to the FB games recently, so yeah I was on it! and eventually stopped and took some rest...later we went out for dinner at this turkish rest..also nice food..too much eating for the day right? I know!!




Then after dinner we walked about for a while along the beach and went for a midnite show..hindi movie "3 Idiots" I tell you..it was fun & laughter all the way! 5 stars! & Thumbs up!! really peeps, watch it! I enjoyed it...people clapped during the show and even at the end like they meant it! (my first time where people actually claps out of satisfaction in a movie, normally I see it in Theatre's only)




Next day, woke up late (all FB games fault! was hooked on it to morning!)...and lunch was served..Noria & Raja prepared it together..so sweet...Chicken Beriyani, Cutlets, Raita & Papadom..it was yummylicious!! I want moreeee!!




and later we went down to Orchard Rd to do some window shopping...Put, Izan & Ikin was in town! just a few hours of lepak and catch up sessions at Dunkin Donuts (there's a reason why we had to go there!) and later join Mama, Raja & Noria at The Marmalade Pantry, after an hour or so we parted as they had to get back to JayB...if only we had more time to go to Arab street...*sob sob*..




We (Mama, Noria, Raja & I) walked up the road to Hard Rock Cafe as I wanted to get some T's..and I got them...so happy! I like the material and the size fits me well...loved it! pickup a Spore city pin for my bag too heheh...and later went to have dinner in Bedok...




The last day, we just stayed in till evening..chilling and I was off course playing games while watching tv together with the rest...later in the day we went to Vivo City, I had a look at Charles & Keith store, liked one bag, but it didn't suit me, as it was too small for me..didn't take it...but still thinking of it...haih! then like always we got tired of walking and had to stop n snack..we went to "Go India". Tried some food I never had before, all was good. Then headed to Harbour Front to board the bus back to KL...




We definately had a good time there, Thanks Raja & Noria for your hospitability and everything else...will definately be back in 2010!

23 Dec 09 - Finas threw a surprise bday dinner for syikin...this time syikin thought she was gonna meet finas alone for dinner and was surprised to see the rest of us!

a wedding and a birthday party...

Not that anyone cares, but I'm telling my story anyway...heheh..last weekend (Saturday - 19-12-09), had a wedding and a birthday party to attend..

Firstly attended the wedding at Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka...Our schoolmate who left us end of form 2, found her on FB and she invited us...she was very happy to see us, she didn't really think any of us would come I guess, I am glad we made her day =)


Selamat Pengantin Baru Fairus & Hazly...Semoga berbahagia ke akhir hayat...



then in the evening, my cuz Farah celebrated her birthday together with the kids, its was mostly for the kids..so I help organize the games together with nat, sab & nadia..I think if I were a kid, I would have had fun! other than the games the deco was great together with the kiddy food, and the real chocolaty cake!..anyway here are some pictures...



The cake & blowing the candles of age...



Here are the games organized, first nadia was putting on tatoes for the kids including the big kids (us!), then we started off with passing the parcel, the pooh dart board, paper sand partnering with mums & pin the donkeys tail... the lower three of the sand art pix are the winners...



Prize giving session by birthday babies to winners..both Farhaan and Yasmin took turns... first three pix are the sand art winners..shazad took back the first prize with his spiderman art...1st to finish and well done too!



Last but not least...the organizers posing away :p



it was a fun kiddies party! thanks to Farah & organizers!! you did a great party & it was a blast!!

the one with LookOut Point again...

My cousins, Noria & Raja (from S'pore) were down in KL again last 2 weeks (08-12-09), we took them to LookOut point, instead of the same places we always/usually go (i.e. Aryan & Selangor Club) and they enjoyed it..the view & food...I enjoyed it too this time...this is my 3rd time there..and I think I like the food at Haven..so friends, let's go again!


Pwetty Pektures!! =) (xlah pweety mana but wajib lah bergambar!)



The food was good, even thou we had some minor complaints, but the service was good too..



All of us there...Nat just started her new job, couldn't make it this time...I'm sure she's jelous now that I have put up the pix!! huhu

Creepy nightmares...

Normally when I wake up, I won’t remember the dreams I had, but lately…I remember it and it’s not pleasant! I seriously would like to know what these dreams means…I dreamt of 3 people being pregnant one actually had the baby, ok these people are not married and not even married in the dreams I had.

The first one was actually committing adultery and was somehow proud to be pregnant, not being bothered of what the people taught about her. And I was angry in that dream…Why would I dream such a thing?

The second one was a rape victim and was happy to be pregnant!? This person was putting up her pregnancy on the blog and was being condemned and at the same time receiving sympathy from people. Again WTH?

The third one was fairly recent, about a friend who became surrogate mum, but there were some legal issues with the donor that she got to keep the baby, this time there was a baby in my dream! And she was very happy with her baby…everyone was too…what’s with the dreams??!

Damn confusing dreams, what is it telling me? Ohh and one of those dreams was about me, the other two was of my friends…I’m not gonna name them…

And last night, another dream…something about playing cards i.e. gambling and the person who lost the game would sacrifice his/her life to this black snake. There was a table of four in the game and people came there to play cards and gamble willingly…weird ok! I didn't know the upside to the game though...and the visual that I got was this snake was on a puddle of blood showing (after some kill kot) off the sharp teeth and looking at me!…Then someone died in the dream - no one I knew…and me & my friend ran away from the place and came back later, and the police was looking for the murderer of this so called killer. And we knew that it was that black snake…! Apakah?? I was really scared when I woke up…but went back to sleep soon after…very disturbing!

Woke up with a bad mood this morning…to top it up…lots of work after being on leave for almost a week…topped up with the unclear directions given…even enhances the bad mood!

Anyone with any thoughts of these ridiculous dreams??

Exams Update: done with exams and I think it’s a 50-50 chance of passing both papers, couldn’t concentrate much on studying, but I hope and pray that I pass…really don’t want to re-sit the papers…*Please God help me pass both papers* …Amin… =)

Movies Update: watched ‘Couples Retreat’ last week – was laughing away! Entertained by it and it did not disappoint me (pictures later!)…also watched ‘The Princess and Frog’ yesterday right after my exam…next movie Avatar!


[updated - 21-Dec-09 lost my camera cable & just found it! hehe]
Reading the usual year-end/beginning astrology book...this is a pre-reading..have yet to set another day..)

h.y.p.o.c.r.i.t.e.!

It has come to my attention how much I hate this beings...Hypocrite!

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have
beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy is thus a kind of lie. Hypocrisy may come from a desire to hide from others actual motives or feelings.

That's it..not elaborating today..another day maybe...if I think I should!

Just loving it!

I bought this Chocolate in London and I just can't get enough of it. Of course it's only mars but it's different with the separate ingredients in mars made into small planets which makes it really good! Where can I find this in Malaysia? I have not seen it around...I hope there is! :D

yeah yeah 179Kcal!.


> On another note, went to watch "Love Happens" last Saturday and all I can say is that Love Did Not Happen! I felt like I was being drugged to sleep...yup didn't like it! It was slow and there's no chemistry between them...

Going to watch Couples Retreat tomorrow..this I heard was good, I hope I won't be disappointed!

> Still trying to get my big Boss to approve my leave...I know I'm too much, I just came back from one...but this was planned a year ago with mama...so I have to go :)... Praying & Chanting away "Please Dear Boss, Please Please Please Approve My Leave...!" - Amin!

Nauseating k!

Do you have friends or so called friends on your FB that you just get annoyed with?
Someone described this person as this

“the perasan- akulah paling- cun- and- semua- orang- syok- kat- aku- sbb- aku- cantik- tapi- aku- nak- tunjuk- kat- semua- orang- sbnrnya- aku- baik- dan- tak- layan' kinda person”

And yes, this is what she is, after observing her updates for a few months now…I get irritated with the extend of “dumb-blonde” gestures that she seems to portray…she makes a fool of herself and doesn’t seem to know it… there’s only so much you can advice but what she does is up to her now…

They say:
-She’s self-absorbed, a hypocrite, thinks highly of herself
-Dialah muslimah sejati…org lain is lower than her or she makes them feel that way…
-She’s the hot chick that the guys go after but…what kind of guys are those? layakah anda berlagak? perlukah anda berlagak? kalo nak kata tak berlagak..perlukah announce to the world..
-She’ gelabah & kecoh – trying to show off that dia byk peminat…like why? Tak cukup kasih sayang kot...attention seeking gila babs! I mean we all do it…but ada limit to it…

Macam zaman sekolah…isskkkkk annoying..!

This is me MGG-ing to max!! Yup this is the standard of NPD

Self-Check!...

Someone asked me what's an NPD...Well let's do a self-check...if you are anything as per the criteria below..then you have it...beware..as people really hate / can't stand / gets annoyed or just don't want to be friends with an NPD..

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD: An all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behaviour), need for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy, usually beginning by early adulthood and present in various contexts. Five (or more) of the following criteria must be met:

•Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

•Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion

•Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions)

•Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (narcissistic supply)

•Feels entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favorable priority treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations

•Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends

•Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of others

•Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the same about him or her

•Arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted

Short-changed by Maxis?

I got annoyed by Maxis again, this time it’s two things, first they offered blue forms -1000 Maxis shares to their active postpaid members (serving tenure more than 5 years) but if you are in the family plan, the principal owner get’s that blue form. The rest of us in the plan that has been using it for the past 10 years don’t get anything! Don’t tell me I’m not eligible because I use to get calls from them for loyal members stuff. So where is the fairness in that? At least if they allocate more lots to a family plan we wouldn’t feel short-changed by using the family plan!

It’s a benefit from maxis that we can’t enjoy just because we signed up for a family plan, and this benefit does not come every day ok! Of course it’s not confirmed that we get the shares but the chances are higher when you get the blue form, else we just have to apply the usual Offer Shares using the WHITE Application Form, Electronic Share Application or Internet Share Application under the Maxis IPO. But I have lost interest; after all, it’s quite highly prices RM5.20 per share…but my dad on the other hand is interested and he lost his chance because of the damn family plan…he is not entitled to the blue form!

Ok next, the second reason I'm pissed with them; I am actively using my mobile to access internet this days, doesn’t help that all the wireless around me ‘WSD Hotspotz’ or ‘maxis’ has “no gateway reply” or “wlan not found” when its detected…it’s like they unhooked the phone line and left the modem on! – don’t bother having a wireless around if people can’t use it! And I don’t even know where to complain about this because it’s free...so we don’t get to complain? This goes to many other places with so called “free wireless” around…they mostly don’t work!

Anyways, I was saying, so yeah I have been using the 3G internet via maxis and it’s damn expansive so I called them up and asked them to put me up for the RM58 plan. Guess what…I can’t!! because my mum, the principal holder has to go in there and do it or write a letter that I am allowed to do that, what are we in fifth grade? I am the one paying the damn bills! Check the payment method lar…it’s ok to charge my credit card to it with my name on it but I can’t make any changes to my account??! Ok at least... when we signed up for the plan, tell the principal owner all this so that she gives her consent to all of us at that point and it is noted in the system that we can change what we want to change anytime and not be subjected to this fifth grade treatment! I can’t even activate my roaming because of this (as per my last post on this topic)

I gave them a blasting over the phone but it doesn’t help much since I still have to get my mum to write in, or just get myself out of this family plan! Damn annoying! gonna get myself a prepaid for my overseas trip, since it's roaming is automatically activated...ermm Celcom or Digi?

Psychometric profiling @ Work...

I took this Psychometric profiling - Personal Profile Systems (DiSC). This is what I am at work [read WORK only ok]; I think it’s kinda true… And guess what I am a D & C which makes me fall under a “Creative” in the Classical Profile Patterns.

My “D” was at the highest scale i.e. at 7, what is D you might ask...its “Dominance” --> This person emphasizes on shaping the environment by overcoming opposition to accomplish results.

This person’s tendencies include:
-Getting immediate results [yes!!]
-Causing action [depends on the work too]
-Accepting challenges [yeahhhh]
-Making quick decisions [true!]
-Questioning the status quo [yupp]
-Taking authority [only when necessary…]
-Managing trouble [only when there’s no one else to do it..hehe]
-Solving problems [this I do]

This person drives in an environment that includes:
-Power and authority
-Prestige and challenge [true true true]
-Opportunities for individual accomplishments [exactly!]
-A wide scope of operations
-Direct answers [yeah don’t beat around the bush, I don’t have time for it!]
-Opportunities for advancement [of course!]
-Freedom from control and supervision [definitely, like I so don’t need it!]
-Many new and varied activities [the more the merrier!]

This person needs other’s who:
-Weigh pro’s and con’s
-Calculate risks [like I don’t do enough? Hmm]
-Use caution
-Create a predictable environment
-Research facts
-Deliberate before deciding
-Recognize the needs of others

To be more efficient this person needs:
-To receive difficult assignments [yup..I need challenge!]
-To understand that they need people
-To base techniques on practical experience [of course!]
-To receive and occasional shock
-To identify with a group
-To verbalize reasons for conclusions [this is true – learning from my previous bosses, everything has to be clear and documented!]
-To be aware of existing sanctions
-To pace self and relax more. [I thought I relax a lot? but good to know! =)]

Well the "C" stands for “Conscientiousness” -->Emphasis is on working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy. No need to elaborate on this, it was a 5 on the scale of 1 to 7.

My “I - Influence” & “S - Steadiness” was the lowest...Which was kinda expected since I don’t do much talking / chatting / mingling around the office.

As for the creative pattern (the mix of D & C)
Emotions: accepts aggressions; restrains expression
Goal: dominance, unique accomplishments
Judges others by: personal standards; progressive ideas for accomplishing tasks
Influences others by: ability to pace development of systems and innovative approaches
Value to the organization: initiates or designs changes
Overuses: bluntness; critical or condescending attitude
Under pressure: becomes bored with routine work; sulks when restrained; acts independently
Fears: lack of influence; failure to achieve their standards
Would increase effectiveness through: warmth; tactful communication; effective team cooperation; recognition of existing sanctions.

This results can change each time you take the test, but for me, at the moment, it describes me almost perfectly! Well those who knows me well enough, you'd know which trait fits me well...

Cuci the Musical...

I went for Cuci the Musical preview (free tix!!) last Thursday 22 Oct 09, apart from starting the show one hour late! (due to technicals difficulties) the rest was good...It was so good that I wanna go again..yeah I'm paying for the second round...and of course a better seat...yes it's expansive as some may say that I'm wasting money, but if people can pay hundreds for an International Concert, why not support your own industry when you know it's good..isn't it? So we don't mind paying for a good show..you'll be laughing like 90% of the time throughout the show...

*and of course I met the whole kutom there...relatives...:)

Here's our free tix...



Thanks Myra & Azizi..!

Deprived of ?

So..two person here at the office commented on my appearance today, they said I look like I just woke up! I asked “why?”…they say that my eyes gives it away…ok to tell the truth I had a good 8 hours sleep, how is it I look like Sh*t today? I don’t get it! Siap put on make up today same as yesterday, which looked good yesterday (so they say)..so can’t be make up’s fault kan? I even went jogging last night (ni saja nak mention!) huhu

Well one thing for sure I was annoyed when I woke up today because I was actually dreaming that I was having beriyani (so much for the no rice diet thing I started on Sunday, baru 5 days!)..I was actually dreaming that I was eating it..sebelum masuk mulut my sis, nat was banging on the room door asking me to open it! Damn.. kacau betul! terus bad mood and now it show in the eyes & face..!

So what’s a quick fix nie? I wouldn’t wanna be looking like orang baru bangun the whole day…hmm

p/s Can’t wait for tonite! It’s gonna be a good nite!

The one with the Women Bosses...

DO WOMEN MAKE GOOD BOSSES?

Gabby: I have another interesting topic for your blog Shaz: DO WOMEN MAKE GOOD BOSSES?
My answer is hell no!!


Shaz: And why is that? I’d like to think I make a good boss someday.. :D
But yeah, I prefer the guy bosses…


Gabby: Because women are emotional creatures!! If they had a rough morning, you’re a goner! If they didn’t get laid last night, you’re a goner! If they kena marah ngan laki depa earlier that day, you’re a goner! If she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you’re a goner! If she just feels like being a bitch that day, you’re a goner!! Need I say more?

Myzara: Heyyyyyy im a good boss tau!!!! But its not easy to be a boss!! Each one of them expect different things from u..so nak puas kan hati everyone its imposible!!

Shaz: Erm..so ur saying that if u become the boss one day, this is how you’ll be?

Gabby: I honestly don’t know. I’d like to say ‘no’ that I won’t be like that but sigh..this scares me..imagine a female boss with PMS..oh dear god!!. Myzara.. You’re perhaps 1 in 50 la kot Myzara..the ones I’ve encountered is..well..I think I shall bleep out the word…lolss!

Shaz: Gabby… I don’t want to be that, I can try not to be that & I think I am not that…but you can only know when you’re a boss…

But one thing’s sure, if I am in a bad mood they’d better know to stay away from me, but then again, if I am angry at a certain someone, not necessarily the other person is gonna get it, I think I know how to switch on and off too..but I can’t be too sure!


Gabby: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Women are unpredictable creatures. They’re emotional. It just takes something small to trigger the ‘BITCH ALERT’..

Myzara: Im not like that at all..if aku had a very bad morning I won’t let it out to my staff..but I’ll let ot out kat my hubby!!! Hahahahah!!!

Gabby: That’s no good either. Men are different. They have the ability to leave their problems at the door the minute they step into office. It’s a good thing to not have too much feelings oso la kan?

Shaz: I have had a few women bosses, some are good n some aren’t, but they do have mood swings and all that, when they’re good, they’re really really nice, when they’re bad, gosh…from the scary face, the tantrums, the screaming to staff and the extra workloads comes in…they are good in passing on their stress to others, like it’s contagious! hahaha

Gabby: Precisely my point..so bottom-line is: WOMEN DO NOT MAKE GOOD BOSSES.

Shaz: Well, we will just have to learn that ability that men have about leaving their problems & feelings at the door when they step into the office and work it! We’ll have to learn to be a professional, we can just let feelings overtake us…it’s not good for women and our jobs.

I think those who realize the importance of this makes a good boss – women boss..not all women bosses are a bit*hes! Not fair!


Myzara: Yaaa..it not fair at all!!!

Gabby: The ones I’ve encountered so far didn’t impress me one bit..semua garang macam singa when they’re stressed!

Myzara: Same here..I know how to control it..I’m doing sales lg byk strees..from my bosses la..staff la..target la.. etc etc..the pressure I just can’t describe through words..but I only will marah the person yg patut kena saja...I won’t suka2 let go my anger to everyone..have to respect depa juga la..tp sapa yg buat salah..they’ll know la nnt!!

Shaz: Yeah I agree, when sometimes when we are nice, staff can sit on our heads, sometimes we have to show them who’s boss too..and if they deserve the scolding, hey..they juz deserve it!

Myzara: Yaaaa…kadang2 sampai rasa nak bg sepak to all these *** b**t*rds!!!! And I’ll get very fast irritated if they ask me stupid question yg anak aku pun tau jawap!!

Anyway so just hope that you all will be a good boss…you know that what type of boss that you all dok maki semua selalu..so if you be a boss one day don’t be like the boss that you always maki tuh cause u know nnt ur staff will do & feel the same way like you..


This conversation is based on our 6-8 years experience in the working world...I'm sure there are good women bosses out there too. I have been under a few women bosses and I have adapted well with them, off course there are those occasional tantrums too but no that bad, you can say it's expected!. There are those scary women bosses around too, thank God I never had to report to them, well looking at those kinda bosses makes me realize that I don't want to be that. I'd like to think I would make a good boss someday, insyallah.

Just thinking, if a guy were to have posted this I'm sure all the gurls out there would give him hell, but it's ok for gurls to post and talk about it hahaha! Just like when Arif told me (after calling me fat) that "it's ok for fat people to call fat people Fat!" anyone else did it...they would get hell! huhu

the one about LRM ...

Talking about the recent engagement of that someone and this came up (LRM - love, relationships & marriage..) there were four in the mail conversation; Gabby, Myzara, FN & I, FN was silent all along, so here it goes...

Gabby: Hmmm..kawen duda yang kaya is definitely security for a girl for now and future..but is it real love?

Shaz: I dun believe in real love…so nope..NO! huhu

Myzara: I don’t know wat to answer..eemmmm..no komen

Gabby: You don’t? Actually I also don’t anymore. But then, how to have children if we don’t find real love? Myzara.. U no need to answer lah..hang dah kawen dah beranak pinak..nak pi honeymoon utk kali ke 127 pulak tu lagi nak kata no komen

Shaz: U can have children without love..it’s all in the niat! Niat kalo dah betul…juz maybe love will find its way..but I’m not counting on it..

Myzara: Aku sgt setuju dgn shaz..soo cleaver!!! Blum kawin tapi dia dah pandai!! hAhahahah!! The reason I said no comment is because I don’t know whether the “real love” tuh wujud x after kawin!!..each of u nnt bz kerja then bz pasai anak sometimes u’ll forget ur responsibility as a wife cause ur too bz with ur kids and ur spending more time with them..entahla..for me before marriage & after is totally 2 different feelings!!

Gabby: But Shaz, if you are not counting on it then that means you don’t believe in love and if you don’t believe in it, then love will not find you. Go and read ‘The Secret’ lah..
I want 5 kids..so I better get a move on la kan


Shaz: I can still want marriage and want kids, if loves find its way in, it’s just bonus to me!

Gabby: How can you marry someone you don’t love?

Shaz: Can..it happens all the time, grow into love or not, that’s not the reason I’m getting married, sunnah nabi, mengembangkan zuriat, so if I find someone enough to make me happy, terime je lah (depending on my state of mind at that time jugak la…I have to like the person a bit lah....

It’s also for companionship, now I dun need it yet, but when I do, it doesn’t have to be love coz & since I dun believe in it! Love doesn’t guarantee that the marriage will last either, so why bother? If you can tolerate each other its good enough. Tp hati kena terbuka la to get into this..I know I’m not there yet..I’m educating myself..huhu

What say u the people who have been married?


Gabby: I agree to a certain extend as in you gotta like the person a little bit to want to marry them..coz can be nurtured. Kalau jumpa a guy and fall head over heels in love with him lepaih tu nak kawen even better lah but I don’t think I’ll ever find that sort of love again after ‘the moron’!

My mother keeps saying “marry a guy who loves you but not someone you love”. I don’t think that’s right. That’s called ‘playing it safe’ and I won’t do that. I need to be slightly into him to want to make that big a commitment. Marriage is supposed to be for life (we pray and hope lah!) but if we don’t have any feelings for them but choose to marry them anyways, then it’s just plain selfish. By then if you have any problems, u would even bother to talk things through or work it out..coz we would have taken the guy for granted

FN and Myzara is just sitting back and watching us merepek about this topic lah..they have no comment (bak kata Myzara) hahaha!


Shaz: Heh my mum says, “marry a guy who loves you more than you love him” , playing it safe or not, the age is catching up and if you want kids, that you’ve gotta make a decision, it just boils down to what you want in life, prioritizing…but I don’t know, there’s no right & wrong about this, it’s really up the each individual lar.. Btw, if u choose to be with the guy, u can’t be selfish, you have got to make the marriage work…even ppl who loves/loved before too have to do work to make a marriage work…

Yup..they are enjoying the merepek-ing session..huhu


Gabby: Marry a guy who loves you MORE than you love him is right..not marry a guy who loves you and you don’t love him. Yes age is catching up..I gotta make a decision fast. I’m going to pursue my MBA or PhD or work some more..the rest..well..dunolah hahah!

Myzara: Off course after u kawin, u will love ur husband..so based on that love and continue ur life with him lah..in a relationship is very simple..don’t complicate it! Just do want u want..that’s all!!

Gabby: Kalau lepaih kawen pun tak love jugak, then how? Get a divorce?

Shaz: Cross that bridge when you get there, if divorce is your fate, so be it! But you shouldn’t make it an option from the beginning…

Gabby: Hmm..I’m liking the way you think and talk Shaz. You’re quite smart la after all..

Myzara: Then pasaipa taknak kawin without any love??? I mean as long as ada love in the relationship ok la..dont concentrate too much on that..there’s more important things in relationship other then real love.

The MOST important thing as husband and wife is tolerance.. whether the guy can tolerate with us or not..xdak nie..ABISSS!!!!!!! trust me!!

one of it : kita nie darah mamak..temper..so whether that guy boleh terima kita punya kepala angin or not is also very important!! In marriage bukan love saja penting tau kaa Gabby ooiiii.. there are lots of things that plays an important part in marriage life!!

Gabby: What could be more important than love?

Shaz: Pls unhook from walt Disney & all the chick flicks & look beyond it, those who were soo deeply in love are no longer in love, those who got married just because they were in love got divorced, so niat tu penting, love is there, you just have to appreciate the way or the nature of how you receive it. Not everyone gets the same romantic love story type of love, there’s a lot of other definations to it too…

Love is not everything, happiness & joy is more important, you don’t have to be in love to be happy. It’s all in the mind.


Myzara: Love saja boleh bg makan? love saja can make u happy? If there’s love but selalu dok gaduh mcm anjing & kucing macam mana?

Gabby: I know love is a lot of work. But I’ll need to love him too. Kalau he saja love me but I don’t feel the same way, then it work wont. And I wouldn’t be bothered to compromise..

Shaz: It goes back to what u want...what if there isn’t anyone out there that u cud love, then what happens? Like that story with the kid that’s suppose pick up a good grass at the field n came back with none because he thot if he walked up further, he could get a better one, but realized what he left behind was the best ones…so what the point if ur gonna be old and lonely & realize that you have wasted your life in the end when you could have at least had a chance at having a family..?

If there is a good grass along your way, pick it up and learn to love it. Its because its good that u picked it up in the first place..


Myzara: Off course-la u need to love him too tp jgn dok berangan pasai real love nie semua..it will develop by its own..u cannot be sitting down and just wait for the real love to come..as long as u ada the feeling of love towards him..ok lah..but 1st of all u have to put that “moron” out of ur mind 1st!! life have to go on..he has his own life now and so do u!!

I think I'll stop here, Love can be somewhat important but not necessarily a must, tolerance and responsibility is more important to me...Gabby's a commitment phobic I think! thinking too much...Anyone with any thoughts other than this? feel free to share! huhu

Juz maybe . . .

Forwarded by Mama...

Maybe. . . we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one
so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe . . . when the door of happiness closes,
another opens; but, often times,
we look so long at the closed door
that we don't even see the new one
which has been opened for us.

Maybe . . . it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe . . . the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Maybe . . . the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on successfully in life until...
you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Maybe . . . you should dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go,
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.

Maybe . . . there are moments in life when you miss someone
-- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child --
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real,
so that once they are around you appreciate them more.

Maybe . . . the best kind of friend
is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling
like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe . . . you should always try to put
yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that something could hurt you,
it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Maybe . . . you should do something nice
for someone every single day, even if
it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe . . . giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe . . . happiness waits for all those who cry,
all those who hurt,
all those who have searched,
and all those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance of all the
people who have touched their lves.

Maybe . . . you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive;
don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Maybe . . . you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
and enough hope to make you happy

Maybe . . . you should try to live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.

Maybe . . . you could send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life, to those who can and do make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, and to all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.
