Old Skool

Di kala semua orang tergila-gilakan henset 3g dan pelbagai..aku telah mendapat sms berbunyi

"akak, u punya phone sula siap..ini malam boleh kasi angkat"

Yeay!phone nokia 8310 ku sudah siap! I loike! Tetapi sony ericsson w910i tetap buah hati utama ku. Tanpanya, tak mungkin aku boleh mobile blog..8310 tu utk line office je.

Rakan-rakan, sila layan sms aku yeah! Ini adalah semata-mata kerana saya hendak menerima sms pada phone oldskool ini! (dem..am i losing my marbles for obsessing this phone??hahah!)

Kenapa saya suka phone ni?

Ni sume gara-gara trauma yang telah melanda saya. Dulu saya pernah memiliki phone sebegini. Time tu Nokia 8310 baru je keluar. Kira grand laaa pakai phone ni time tu sbb ini adalah phone yang first skali lampu dia kaler putih. Saya siap tukar housing kaler kuning sbb itu kaler fevret saya.

wahhh....time naik lrt rasa cam grand je dengar radio pakai henset (time tu mp3 tak berleluasa lagi..pastu naik lrt je la..kate struggling student) Saya pergi ke KLCC. Niat nak lepak Kinokuniya bace Harry Potter sampai habis (seriously ppl..I did finish reading ALL Harry Potter Books at Kinokuniya..I never purchased any! Until my 26th birthday, suami bought the whole set for me..:))

Time tengah syok duduk atas lantai kat children's section membaca Harry Potter sambil bersandar kat rak buku, saya terdengar buku terjatuh dibelakang saya. Menoleh ke belakang..takde orang..time tu..henset kesayangan saya letak bawah peha. Masa toleh belakang saya angkat kaki sikit. Dan bila saya kembali ke posisi sedia kala..........

Nokia 8310 kuningku sudah hilang.....

Sejak hari itu, saya selalu rindu kepada phone ini (dan sentiasa cuak tentang harta benda saya apabila berada di KLCC) Sehinggalah saya terjumpa phone ini diantara harta karun suami yang berlambak kat rumah tu. Kini ia sudah kembali...siap di baiki dan ditukar bateri..cuma tak jumpe housing kuning je. Nnt saya nak cari.

*untung suami dapat isteri mcm saya..bini org lain mintak e71..saya bahagia dgn 8310 yang oto on ini*

Minggu Keselamatan & Kesihatan Pekerjaan 2009

I am at ESSET, Bangi, attending this safety week seminar organized by NIOSH. It's gonna be a löng day! There are 6 project paper that i will have to go through. But the topics are quite useful so we'll see what happens.

What inspired me to blog is actually this hall. It's cramped with almost 600 participants and right now, Datuk Dr. S. Subramaniam is 'reading' his speech. Dön't get me wrong..what he's saying is actually useful but it's just the feeling that this hall is giving me.. I suddenly feel as is I was back in school.

It feels as if i was in my school hall, attending one of our many functions. After this i'll be heading to the dining hall for lunch (i am getting a free lunch for this seminar!)

Kinda missing my school days now. Although i was homesick all through my 4 years there (i stopped feeling homesick in form 5 coz we kinda ruled the school..hehe) there was a lot of fond memories we had there.

English drama..sports day..basketball tournaments..and the weekly weekend outings in town..

Opst! It's time for the morning tea break!hehe! Continue later!

Downer..

I thought I could
But I still couldn't
Everytime I see someone else's
I remember mine...
I just want to cry..
But I can't..I gotta move on
I gotta try

Sometimes it feels like it was all just a dream
But sometimes I can't help but think
What would it be like if he was here with us
Why of all people, did god choose us?
Maybe I know why..but maybe I don't..

I just wish..I don't know what to wish for....
I don't remember what he looks like..
Is that good? or is it bad?

Seeing his things..what would've been his things
His room...we painted it blue

Is this life real?
Is all that has happened real?

Did I really lose my son?

the king is dead..

RIP

Michael Joseph Jackson

August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

Was shocked to hear the news on the radio today. To quote on K.lin's fb status,

"The legend is dead?.....i didnt think he would EVER die....I guess thats what a legend does to you....sebak dada rase siut.....its like the princess Diana's death all over again......."

So true..he was a living legend..someone we thought would last forever. His music definitely will. May he finally rest in peace..

*who didn't grow up to his music?..my favorite was You Are Not Alone..what's yours?*

OPA Dinner 2009

I had a good feeling on Saturday. Eventho I had to work half-day, I had something to look forward to that night. My sister-in-law had a beautiful dress waiting for me to wear, had my hair done and she even did my make-up that night.

We were going to the annual Royal Millitary College dinner at Shang-ri La Hotel.

Being an OG (Old Girl) of TKC myself, it was always sort of exciting when it came to these elite all-boys boarding school functions. Something I can't quite find the words to describe it. You can call it a teenage infatuation la..

So before the dinner started, there was a pool of men in dark suits wearing their alma-mater tie, boom of laughter and voices, smoking cigars and ciggarettes. The kesian part, was seeing the wives standing around the groups of men. I understand this situation too well. Coz when I went to my OG day, we could see the husbands standing on the sidelines..:P Coming from a boarding school, we tend to neglect our partners when we go for our reunions..

Anyway, as we were called to dinner (they had their current Putras to blow the trumpet - something like how the military are called to the mass hall)..The VVIPs where ushered into the hall and the dinner began.

The MCs were witty and funny. The initial show was by the Royal Navy Band, which was okay. But the interesting part was when the OPs (Old Putras) themselves performed. First was this karaoke jam session by OP74 or 77 (I can't quite remember). My favorite was the song "Bila Papa Pakai Celana"!Boy did they sing their heart out!hahaha! Next was another singing presentation but this time by all the OP Admirals..and there was A LOT of them!

But the best was a video clip by OP69 doing the Carlos Santana song - Corazon Espionado..OMG!! I was informed by my FIL that the most millionaires came from this batch. One very vivid scene was a bunch of them, topless and wearing the funny clown wigs, shaking their HUGE bellies by the swimming pool!hahaha!! I'll try and youtube it. If I find it, I'll post it up.

The Old Putra of the year was awarded to OP Ramli Ibrahim, an OP69..yes people..THE Ramli Ibrahim!!! I was kinda surprised..because Ramli Ibrahim is actually an OP! It was a well deserved award. Not only is he EXCELLENT in dancing, he was top of his class during his school years and is even a Chemical or Mechanical Engineering (I don't remember because I was already ecstatic then) graduate..

It must've been my luckiest night..because Ramli Ibrahim honored us with his infamous Odissi performance...

My words can't do justice to the gracefullness of his performance. It was MESMERIZING! Done with such perfection! and this coming from a 55year old man! (His bod..I tell you!!!) All I can say is..

BRAVO RAMLI IBRAHIM!!!!!!

Then there was the unavoided moments by Ramli's 'jambu's' which was hilarious! An all-boys boarding school can never get away from this stigma..:P

It was a fun night..am sure my FIL had the most fun. I know I would if I were to go to my alma mater dinner 40 years from now (it was my FIL's 50th year being in the alma mater). It just brings back so much fond memories and makes you feel young again...

Next year..I want to go again! I might not be so lucky as to get to see Ramli Ibrahim to perform again, but who knows?

Promoting Nazleen Noor

Apart from being blessed for having such a loving suamì, I am also VERY lucky to have a fashion designer as a sister-in-law. Yes people, NAZLEEN NOOR is my beloved SIL and an amazing batik designer.

That is the dress she made for me to wear to the OPA Dinner tonight. Lovely isn't it? You can check-out more on her designs at http://www.nazleennoor.com I am soo lucky to have her as my SIL..apart from never having to worry about what to wear for functions (i'm almost like her ambassador already) i have a persönal fashion designer!

If I Was a BEP

Apl is a member of the BEP and he is Phillipino. They made a tagalog song 'Bebot' which I think has an awesome beat to it. But since I don't understand tagalog, I have no idea what he's singing about. Only word I could pick up was 'chicken adobo' which is a local phillipino cuisine.



bubot
bub´ot adj. unripe, immature

couldn't find the exact meaning of Bebot..mebbe it's a slang..

If I was a member of the BEP..I would get Will-I-Am to help me compose a song in Malay..similar to Bebot..called 'Lepak'

*singing to the tune of bebot* "Lepak..lepak jom! Lepak..lepak"

I will definitely be kicked out of the group after the release of the song!hahahah! Either that, my country would prolly disown me...

*sing it to "Rempit..rempit jom! Rempit..rempit" pun boleh!hahahahah!!*

Nasib baik aku bukan Fergie.....aku lagi hot! :P

*berangan pada hari Sabtu yang aku bekerja!*
