Selamat Hari Jadi Kepada Saya

It was about to be one of my worst birthday, but it was the complete opposite.

Dengarlah cerita bosan ini...

So, I was off from work, but I wanted to come anyway. Just in case… I was bloody bored at home, and work was another haven for me to escape. I guess I am labeled a workaholic for that simple reason.

I came to the office, and there was nothing on the table. No one remembered? Zilch emails. Spent my 2 precious hours chatting on sametime, while doing filing at the same time. Lousy time to spend birthday.

Then my sis called. “JS is not going. Kau nak pergi anugerah skrin tak malam ni?” Damn.. Are you serious? So, I thought that since I am not doing anything, why not. Asked Ivan to be my date (conditional offer upon me asking someone else). We went out to Midvalley looking for my dress during lunch.

Geezz.. no interesting dress. I guess I’ll just end up wearing the old ones that I have. Came back to KLCC for a lunch date with my friend’s brother. He promised to come at 3, but I end up waiting until 3.45pm. Not a very good first impression, definitely not some quality that you can be proud off.
Background check…
He’s 29.
An architect.
Finished Master early this year.
Kinda cute.
So, why in the world is his sister trying to hook him up with different girls?

We talked and talked, and I found out the reason why. I don’t think normal average person can actually stand him. Luckily I am not a normal average person. His bluntness became his main trait. And here he is pre-judging me. It is interesting to get to know this character, at least your life won’t be so dull. But he’s definitely not a boyfriend material, or a long term investment in that case. Friends.. yeah, why not.

I left at about 5.15pm, and I called Ivan straight after. Damn it. He already left for futsal thinking that maybe I dissed him off for the event. I was then left without a date, having to called everyone on my phone list, even Rizal, the neighbour I had in Melbourne. (Sorry, I didn’t know that you have broke up with Hana. So very ignorant of me). Damn. Out of the 15 guys I called, none had the time or suit to wear. Haha..I see the big L coming my way. Well, you can’t make random dates 1 hour before the event anyway.

So, I went there with my sister. It was quite a boring function, but it was fun to see these people up close. We sat in the second front row, way in the left corner of the room. The people at the third row keep on winning, and we are definitely feeling the hot seats. But guess what… My sister won! Best drama series!

Drama Rangkaian Terbaik….. Rafflesia.
She asked Faizal (the director) to take the award on her behalf, since she’s afraid of stumbling upon the stage. She was sure to win this award, either for Rafflesia or Natasha. Pretty good huh for a company that’s very new to the industry.

Then after, I went to Curve. I guess they wanted to celebrate my birthday. Munir was there as well, so is Army and another long lost friend… Azwa. What small world it is. While some might love the party and loud music, I was more enthralled by the company of friends.

Came back at around 5 am, slept and woke up the next morning smiling.

Birthdays ain’t that bad anyway. Thanks guys for the best birthday party ever.

Konklusi Kisah Patah Hati Tak Berganti Bersama J

Well, it’s a courtesy for a man to offer their sit to a lady, or at least locate her seat when he finds her standing while he is sitting comfortably on his chair during their long chat.
It’s also a common courtesy for a man to assist a lady when she needed things/favor from him, instead of having her do it herself.
Another common courtesy is for a man to ask a lady her phone number, well, just in case.

I guess that courtesy only applies in 2 scenarios:
1. The guy is a true gentleman
2. The guy is very much into the girl.

J disappoints me today. He did neither of the common courtesy, and it’s such a sham. Such a good looking guy, such an interesting character, with not-so-interesting body language. He’s such an arrogant snob some say. That is why he remains single maybe!

I lost interest towards J, but maybe not completely. You can say that half of the feelings are gone. Am I too demanding? Simple things, yet I over-exaggerate.

It’s the first impression that matters a lot, and as of now, he didn’t succeed. Sigh. Why are good men hard to find. But J.. friends we are.

Hari ini dalam sejarah: Perkenalan kami

So, today is my fifth day sitting on this new position, and here I am writing a speech for me boss. We are off to Sudan next week, and I would need to prepare him for the dialogue session with all the JOC reps. This really does test my writing skills. Damn… I am an engineer for God sake. Math is more of our specialty. Ehem..

Flashback..
Third day on the job, and I was already swept off my feet by this engineer. Really is the first engineer that I find to be very good looking. I was more taken by his intonation really. For some reason, I think quite a gentleman la that guy. Didn’t get the chance to talk long cause I needed to rush off to catch his boss. Adios bro, and long gone that brief moment.

The next day, I came down again. I couldn’t find him! I don’t know his name, or even where he sits.

Then came today. Boss is in Beijing, so I am taking my own sweet time doing tasks. Called D, and told him about the brief encounter, and walla… I got introduced!

J is the name.

And I am still terawang-awang…

Ucapan perpisahan

After exactly 1 1/2 years in Strategic Planning, it had certainly lay a good foundation for me to grow in the company. It was indeed a great experience for me, to develop from just a mere fresh graduate with only an EE degree to offer to now becoming a corporate person. All the hectic time and challenges endured along the way has indeed made me a better person today.

Just to let you know that I am now officially the planner for En AN, effective 1 December 2006. It is such a great opportunity for me to work with En AN, and special thanks to those who have supported me in every way. I am still a tot to the organisation, and there are a lot of gray areas for me, but it is no reason for me to fall. I would promise not to let you guys down. En Azman, thank you for letting me have this opportunity!

Special thanks to my ex-boss, Puan Hazleen for her guidance, for that she is the one whose advice i sought the most. To Rommil and Madi, whom have teach me wonder about work and life that no other mentor I think ever would. To Pokji whom not only had been my boss but also a very good friend of mine, thank you for your honesty and wondrous energy! Not forgetting Kak Muadzah for your tutelage and friendship, for that SP would not be so interesting without you. To all SP and non SP-ians, thank you all for your kind friendship, and for supporting me in every way you could.

I can say with great thrill that I look forward to learn new things, face new challenges, establish new networking and contribute to the organisation at my best. Thank you all. Wish me the best of luck!
