the craziest month

i got back home at about midnite last nite from the airport. This trip to japan this time around was so different in a lot of ways. I had to make things work in a group of malaysians, singaporeans, americans, british etc.

it was a long one week and i am exhausted. Yet i am hopping on that plane again this sunday to korea for another round of "ballgame".

I think i will actuallly look fwd to a short break when i get back in nov. as for my life in general, hmm. i m ok. I have this email that i am dreading to open n im prolly just being silly. i started the proposition and i am scared to death to know the outcome. it's crazy.

i wonder if i have had a different job would i have more time for myself, hence more time to "bump" into interesting people?

if just i don't need this money i would have quit. and do my mba full time. and be a student again. a carefree life i would love to have.

i have a good feeling i will be vanishing from the blog space pretty soon.
there's nothing much to write anymore when i feel lost and losing hope.

anyhow, have a good weekend!

don't be angry. just smile.

it’s stressful when you are trying to discuss some important matters and the other party is talking about something else. and in the end he doesn’t really understand the issues. i feel like screaming sometimes.

but my japanese counterpart said in her cute english:

“He is typical young Japanese worker….
I fed up to get angry for this kind of person…. So, smile!”

today

i decided today is a good day to just do something i have thought of for a long time.

i know what's going on. isn't it easier if you're not reminded at all of someone who you think have hurt you to the point that you don't care if that person is still a friend or not?

so here. let's just not be friends.
maybe you'll be happier.

-----------

i miss the girls. need to catch up with nana and mai soon. sabb we miss u lots! doakan we can go tour europe with u next year ya?

i'll be away for 2 consecutive weeks in october for work. a hard decision to be made. i know i've been talking about leaving for so many times. but the fact remains sometimes i can't lie. i love the job too much. if i move can i fall in love with the new job? need advice from u people who have switched companies, because i've never left this company. :)

salam aidilfitri - minal aidil wal faizin

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
“Resorting to patience and forgiveness reflects a true strength of character.”
- (Surah Ash-Shura 42:43)

“Kind words and forgiveness is far better than a charity that is followed by harm. And Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.”
- (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:263)

“Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort to the nicest possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend”
- (Surah Fussilat 41:34)

Andai terkasar bahasa, terkurang budi pekerti, tercalar perasaan, mohon ampun dan maaf.

selamat hari raya aidilfitri, maaf zahir & batin.

patches of the whole story

1. a dear friend is upset over something that was totally misconstrued and misunderstood. all it takes to solve it is TALK out loud. but instead a less matured approach is taken - silent treatment and avoiding confrontation. seriously, that's not cool. in the end. that person is on the losing end. and it's not what we all want.
2. i have been working till past 7.30 pm lately. one night it went past 9pm. that's not even acceptable especially during Ramadhan. this whole week, i have only eaten with my parents ONE time. that was tonite btw.
3. going off to JB tomorrow - driving down for our annual CSR work in UTM. after winning an award for the programme we were supposed to be more motivated but instead i felt like crap. it's taking too much time and i have too much to do to be away for a week from work. so here's to late nights catching up on emails and work stuff.
4. there's so much pressure on the dept - one event leading to another & all must be handled by corp aff. it's sometimes illogical that business unit can't be trusted to handle their own small delegation visits etc.
5. wedding invites are flooding the mail box again. i know i have missed way too many weddings. i have no excuses i know.
6. some friends are not worth making time for to meet up - especially when you know they cancel on your group for other group of friends. i have friends who are in the corporate world and who has kids as well. but they can still join us for short meet up sessions. so pls don't blame me for not wanting to make any more time because trust me i already had and you blew it.

till then. i am hoping for a better week. esp. for item no. 1 - may God open His doors for those who seek the truth. ameen.

cake time, you ols!

i wish i don't be reminded of the day but it's ok. we all go thru it.
at least i need to have a good cake. no more forcing myself to eat a cake i don't fancy year after year.
so here's to me. u guys should visit http://www.justheavenly.biz/Home.html to view other yummy cakes.

have a great long wknd!

Marhaban ya Ramadhan

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

“It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was (first) bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false. Hence, whoever of you lives to see this month shall fast throughout it; but he that is ill, or on a journey, (shall fast instead for the same) number on other days. Allah wills that you shall have ease, and does not will you to suffer hardship; but (He desires) that you complete the number (of days required), and that you extol God for His having guided you aright, and that you may render your thanks (unto Him).”

- (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185 )

maafkan salah silap, halalkan makan minum, moga Ramadhan membawa seribu ketenangan iman.
