I just got back from a long weekend in Segamat helping out with the flood relief and rehabilitation program. Such a great impact…
I feel glad that I live in the city where no flood or tsunami can threaten us. I feel glad that I would not live in poverty, losing everything that I own. I feel glad knowing that my loved ones would not be exposed to these miseries.
We were packing the items to be distributed for the villagers at Kampung Jawa and it sadden me more to think that even a simple donation of toothbrush and soap are part of the NEED item. What can you expect? We ended up packing up more things like sanitary pads and under wears. Everything was put together in this big pail, along with two blankets and mattress for each families. Just imagine. Now, their only possession is this pail and mattress given by Petronas. Life has to start again from ground-0.
The big hall that accommodate hundreds of innocent families.
The single pail that contains all that they own.
The sad faces of mom and dad looking at the 1 x 2 m of space they now own.
But then seeing those joyful faces of their children who run freely and happily knowing they used to have swimming pool at their own back yard. At least, that put back some smile. At least, not all joy is gone.
Dear God,
Jauhkan segala kesusahan begini.

Adakah itu Ketumbuhan?
I am too bloody lazy to read this (which explains why it was not properly edited), or to explain this condition to other people, so here it goes. I have this acute ‘tumor-like-condition’ on my hand. The doc diagnosed it as ganglion cyst. So, basically I can either have two options to remove it
1. Get help from my sis to bang some very thick book on it when I’m sleeping, so that it will pop back in
OR
2. To surgically remove it
So, in thinking about what I should and should not do, I have completely forgotten about it. But the other day when I was talking to some friends, again, I notice this humongous cyst on my hand. Damn. I almost forgot about that.
Should I or should I not? Just for the sake of MC, I’ll take the surgical option. Haha…
But, attached below are some excerpts for your further reading. It’ll do you some good the next time you gonna ask me about it. At least, when I explain it to you again, it will just be just a revision kinda thing.
Taken from this internet website… somewhere……
What is a Ganglion Cyst?A ganglion is the most common mass that develops in the hand. Ganglion cysts are benign lesions. No cases of associated malignancy have been reported. A ganglion can be described simply as a fluid-filled sac arising from an adjacent joint capsule or tendon sheath. A ganglion can form from almost any joint or tendon sheath in the wrist and hand. Your Indiana Hand Center physician will review this with you during your appointment.
What are the Causes?The exact cause of ganglions remains uncertain. The most popular theory is that ganglions form after trauma or degeneration of the tissue layer responsible for producing the synovial fluid which normally lubricates the joint or tendon sheath. The cyst arises from accumulation of this fluid outside the joint or tendon sheath in a sac or cyst.
How is it Treated?Ganglion cysts often change in size and may even disappear spontaneously. For this reason, if the ganglion is asymptomatic, it may be best to simply observe the mass for a period of time. Ganglions about the wrist may respond well to a temporary period of immobilization if diagnosed early.Aspiration of a ganglion by an Indiana Hand Center physician may help diagnose the lesion and may temporarily or permanently treat the condition. This consists of first numbing the area with a local anesthetic and then inserting a needle to withdraw the clear, jelly-like fluid from the ganglion sac. A compressive dressing or splint may be applied following aspiration. Aspiration is extremely useful in minimizing symptoms when surgery is not desired. Recurrence of the ganglion can be expected in up to 50% of cases following aspiration.The most reliable method of treating a ganglion cyst is by surgical excision. This is done on an outpatient basis. Ganglions in the finger can be removed under a local anesthetic. However, those cysts involving the wrist usually require a regional or general anesthetic. The ganglion is removed through an incision directly over the area of swelling. Care is taken to attempt to identify its site of origin, and to excise a small portion of the joint capsule or tendon sheath from which it has arisen. In the treatment of a mucous cyst at the distal interphalangeal joint, it is important to remove any osteophytes (bony spurs) that may be associated with the origin of this type of ganglion.
Anyway,
Selamat Hari Raya Haji All!

Saya tengah bengang
I’m pissed.
If you are reading this, just to let you know that I know and that I am pissed.
Do you really think I fancy you that much? Now I know the sudden changes in your behavior, and now I know why you say things you say the other day. You have read the inside of my heart, and it sucks.
Thank you very much for telling the whole world about it. Thank you very much for stupidly leading me on.
I guess my friends are right when they describe me your character. They are right in every way.

Kenangan Indah 2006
1. My sister won Anugerah Skrin 2006, with her drama series, ‘Rafflesia’. Geez.. I really thought that ‘Natasha’ would win, with the high talks about the popularity of the show. Anyway, congrats sis. I’m proud of you.
2. Had a great birthday bash! Thanks guys for the hand-baked cake (ahaks), and the gift. It was very memorable.
3. Eventhough it lasted 2 weeks, but it was something I’ll cherish. SS appreciate SS.
4. Rock climbing rocks! Had tones of fun, and stamina. Haha… I’m still afraid of height though.
5. Been seriously into tennis lately. Thanks Mail for being a good coach. I’ll make you proud Year 2007. Who knows, might bring a trophy back. Muahahaha. Keep on dreaming.
6. Got my own Baby G which I love dearly. Monthly installment killing me, but at least something I can be proud of. Go G all the way.
7. My lovely friends whom I treasure most… Zalia, Aima, Ivan, Ed, Ili. Miss hanging out with you guys. You guys are the best. Eventhough we have grown apart, but you guys are still close to my heart. Weird thing is your partner’s name rhyme along. (Ja & Jumy Aima & Ima Ivan & Ili). Coincidental huh. Maybe mine would sound something like.. Suzuki? Muahahahahaha.
8. Latest addition to the family would be ‘lil Miss Sarah. Baby grown so big now. Aunty loves you dearly. Muah.
9. Promotion so called. Am now officially planner to AN. Thank sir for the trust.
10. Got a 2 for my PPA. I know I deserved it. Wish me luck this year!
11. My very own LV, Coach and Gucci. Thank you sis, thank you Wan!
12. Phuket was very nice and memorable. It feels like tsunami never did hit the island. Just amazing how they pick up all the pieces and re-develop the town. May the soul of those affected rest in peace.
13. Sudan was the trip of the year (not to mention the short trip to Dubai and Singapore on the way going). The flight got delayed because of the windshield crack causing multiple delay of flight in Singapore and Dubai, then again the delay due to the desert storm. Man.. what a memorable journey.
14. Orientation rocks! Friends I met along the way.. Memory treasured… Things I’ve learned (Naaaa). The two weeks period was all it takes. And for that I thank PETRONAS. Haha.
15. My very own company. I am now the director to Artistic Seni Sdn. Bhd.
16. And my life that I have now. There might be few glitches here and there, but it made me stronger and bolder. I feel very blessed. Thank you God.
Note: Highlights are not in order of importance. :-p

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.
Signing off,

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!
