What's your plan for 2010?

I know, I know. It's only 28 November and I'm already talking about 2010? Me, I don't have new year's resolution..never had any as far as I can remember. I have goals and ambition but the plan is always subject to change. I follow where the heart leads me. Most of the time I make decisions using my gut instinct and so far, they've been quite all right.

Next year, what's going to happen is:

1. Hunny's going for his e-MBA class which I think will start in January. Go hunny Go!
   That means he won't be able to travel to come and see me. And I may not be able to take off from work that often to go and see him as well.
2. My move to the second rotation. I want to go to somewhere that is closer to home. Due to reason number one.

If you ask me, what will I do and stuff like that.. I am never sure. I just don't know. Sometimes, it's easier not to worry so much about all the IFs in life.. just have to go along with the flow.

I still have doubts about the path that I have chosen here and I always tell hunny that I feel that way. Who knows, one day I decide to leave the programme and head back to be with my family OR I stick with it to the very end.. Kita tunggu dan lihat!

Meanwhile, to those who draft their new year's resolution.. cepat get your pen and paper out. Ada lagi sebulan je to pen them down :) Good luck!

Update: am about to flip the first page of the book i bought 10 minutes ago and I see this quote on my bookmark - Think BIG. The future of success is yours to create...

hmm..raya haji already?

heeeee... raya dah rupenya :) I lost track of time as here, mane ade orang celebrate Raya Aji kan? Only when I chatted with hunny last Tuesday barula teringat. Tak sedih sangat sebab at least raya haritu I got to be at home with my family for a whole week.

But this raya, my relatives are at my cousin's place as she and her children (my niece and nephew) are leaving for the UK today at 3p.m. Haiyaa.. mesti menangis la semua tu, especially my aunts who are very close with my niece and nephew. I'm gonna miss those kids too. Mia is super cute.. and she loves drinking fresh milk so much, it's like drinking plain water :) Mesti gigi dia kuat nanti.

Kak sue, I wish you all the best. Take a good care of yourself and of course the kids. You're our PhD holder..InsyaAllah.

My first thick coat..err,or is it a long jacket?

I love the collar..

The top paired with a pair of tights..

Note the collar. I don't normally wear this style but there is always a first to everything :)

I also love the big buttons

Ta-daa! (lengan tu ada bump because i had another baju inside the the sleeve bergulung2 lupa nak betulkan)

Kakiku bagaikan nak tercabut because my friend and I went to nearly every shop in Mongkok. And no I did not take any pictures because we had too many stuff to carry around and with the volume of people there, it was just not practical to do so. Nanti karang ada bag yang jalan sendiri tanpa tuannya..kekeke..

Kedai baju dia banyak .. too many in fact. But a few of them sell the same stuff.. and jackets or coats dia untuk orang yang tidak mempunyai top and bottom like mine. Like my friend said, your ***** are not Hongkie size..hahahahaha..luckily I found at least ONE long coat. Tapi kena beli lagi satu sebab takkan pakai yang satu ni je for two months. I have to send it to the laundry for sure and I need just one more. A black coat. Which due to my size, was a wee bit hard to find. Yang adapun cost about RM 800 to RM1000 plus which was way beyond my budget. Somemore I'll only wear them probably just this once in my life :)

I also bought a black dress that can be used to go out for dinner as well as for the office. And also a top that goes well with a pair of black tights. All in all I spent RM250..iatu sangat berbaloi berbanding barang2 that are available near my place.

I might go again next week..Yippie! But of course with someone because so many people go there and A) i might get lost or B) I won't be able to find my way to the row of shops again. :) amazingly we walked for a good 4 hours..in and out, in and out..No, no,No..normally,you won't ever get that from me. I get tired so easily from walking too long but just now I sort of got hypnotised by the many choices of clothes there. And of course because my friend had so much energy to walk and walk and walk. I think she's using the Energizer battery..hehe..

All in all.. it's been a great day. Ended it with my legs up on the sofa and a large cup of bubble tea. Pheww.. :)

introducing Sam - short for Syamsul

hehehe.. me thinks that name is so not him.. SAM, SAM, SAM.. suddenly this reminds me of the Deepavali advert when the granny said 'what SAM, SAM, SAM? What is your real name' (dialogue may have been changed due to my lack of memory).
And the boy answered,'Muthusamy Karuppiah'.. or something like that.

Well since it is quite difficult for people here to pronounce my hunny's name.. he decided to introduce himself as Sam..kekekeke.. nak terguling-guling when I heard him say his new name. :) This is for the sake of making things easier for my friends :) Takdela terbelit-belit lidah they all nak say his name.

That also brings me to this subject of - nama yang panjang. I was trying to book a flight ticket only via Emirates, but since their system tak biasa terima nama panjang2 agaknya, it is making my life difficult to even book one. They say to follow passport but the system does not allow for space.. abis tu takkan jadi TunkuFaradiana kot? pulak tu when I finished entering me daddy's name, it prompt to say that the characters cannot be more than 28.

so then it will become TFaradiana (first name) TZainalAbidin (last name). Aiyoo.. lagi la salah macam ni? how la, how???

And the funny thing is - this is linked to the tab where we have to put our name that is displayed on the credit card .. suka ati diorang je. In the end on the credit card tab for name jadi TFaradiana. Dah salah jugak ni. I tell you.. i so pening kepala la.. I can't cut short my name simply because I'll have so much trouble when checking in nanti. I don't want to take AA because it is more expensive (weird eh?) and then MAS pulak takde flight on the dates that I want.

Kesimpulan of the story.. I have decided to give simple names to my children nanti sebab cik Sam punya nama is also panjang already. Kasihan they all nanti..
For instance, for girls it would be Melissa (initially wanted to have Melissa Airiss tapi dah panjang sangat la pulak), or Airiss or Eleyna.. haaa. senang cerita and senang they all nak buat passport segala bagai..kekeke.. for boys it would be something like .. Aiman, Rayyan, Izhan (took this from my cuzzy's name)..

What say you? I've been through a lot of problems due the length of my name and I do hope that my children will not have to go through the same thing.
Note: Nama di atas dipilih sendiri tanpa persetujuan Sam..hehehe.. and no, I'm not expecting yet.

lampu lampi

owh i sangat suka dengan lampu depan that hunny chose for to place at the front gate. The contractors have installed all lighting stuff that he bought. Hunny's taste for the house boleh tahan jugak..even without me around. Kudos to you darl!

takde gambar sebab tak ambil, nanti tak surprise.. tak surprise untuk diri sendiri jugak sebenarnya sebab all those lightings are chosen by hunny. so I only know how they look like when I go back.

Tapi lampu neighbour selang dua buah rumah sama sebijik like ours. Siapa beli dulu?kekeke... Macam la the factory only produced one pair of those lamps..tapi yang kelakar tu memang sama sangat. Keciknya dunia.. :)

I also love the bathroom's lighting.. nice choice hunny! And also the lights that hunny chose to be installed (install ke?) into the ceiling.. (is it into the ceiling or inside?). It's square with engravings around it. Hard to imagine? Yeah, even harder for me to desribe how it looks like..hehe.. even tried googling the images but i can't seem to find it. either that or i am googling the wrong things.

A friend of mine has also seen the house with all the lightings done and with the plaster ceiling all ready. He said the house looks really nice. Thanks babe, nanti bila everything dah siap kita buat kenduri and makan2 kat rumah tu okay.

Okay, this makes me even more determined to work hard and not spend so much on things I want but don't need. hehehe.. yeah, lagi sikit je lagi. We can do it. Tinggal the kitchen, master bedroom and living room's furniture and MOT.

Erm, sikit lagi ke tu? tak jugak kan? it's okay.. where there is a will, there is a jalan.. where there is a jalan there is traffic jam.. hehe.. adeke?
