Mundo distante faraway

I need to go somewhere, been bidding my colleague to go to Krabi with me but to no avail. A colleague went there once and she said it was cool. She has asked me to join her for umrah next year. InsyaAllah if everything goes well, we will make some booking come this Sept Matta Fair.

Meanwhile I will be heading off to Miri next month for 3 days (Shell Games). I was supposed to play netball, but I'm not good at it so they just put me as reserve, what the heck, free travel to Miri!!

But seriously, I need to go away, Shaz and her Diva gang is going to Bandung. I could not go as my sister is getting married in Jan..oopps, I need to save for that South Africa trip in 2010 for World Cup. That would probably be the only opportunity that I will get.

I need to go away!!!!

Lazy Bum Syndrome

Darn, I have been slacking off today. Am suppose to finish up my shutdown report...the unit is about to start up anyway!! Why am I so lazy? I am fasting since last week and I know for a fact that when I have lack of O2 coming into my brain, I will be lazy and unable to concentrate.

So can I blame it on fasting? That is sooo not appropriate, how could I, all the bad things comes from me, oohhh.....I should stop now since its lunch time here anyway. Already booked a meeting room so that I can have quite moments before I start on the report.

Actually I have the draft and mainframe ready, just need some boost to actually start writing. Once I started, I can go on and on and on until its finished....I know I can do it. I have produced good report before and I know I can repeat that achievement if not top it!!

Way to go Azita!!! now get off the net now!!!!

World of Men

There has been occasions in my life where I was involved with so many men at one time (nothing personal). I was in ROTU back in UiTM and 70% of the population is guys. Now I am working in this industry where latest statistic shows in this company only 10% of the population is women.

So what's the perk of being in this male dominated industry? A lot..(none of it again...personal). After 2 years in SRC, I've met more guys that I have ever met my entire life. They comes in all form, best buddies, saviour,confidante,father figure or just gossip partner. Right now we have not yet wrapped up from our Turn Around..still there will be some task to settle before the actual schedule start up mid this month.

I am blessed to be given the chance to work with the team. They trully defines what teamwork is all about. There was one particular job that I was suppose to lead, and because it was not scoped earlier, it became emergent work, hence there are no proper team set up for the task and I have to lead the whole thing. Come in the midst of execution, problem..I shouted for help and boy am I relieved that I AM working with these people. Everybody is willing to chip in ideas to get things moving, extreme support and companionship showed and I could not have asked for more.

The only reason I am so thankful is that I've been in worse position. Working in company where people only care of only what tasked to them, apart from that, I don't care...Here, it is totally the opposite. there has been one too many occasion that I was saved by my saviour in my line of work here.

This is by far the best team I ever had and for that I am grateful.



I like the guy that is on the my farthest left, I think he's cute ;)

Sepi Movie

Watched Sepi, it was indeed for the lonely hearts...just that I think there are so many other ways to describe the word itself. Sepi means alone,lonely, solitude, lonesome..etc etc..I was crying like nobody's business throughout the whole movie.

The touching part was when Adam question himself how to find that special one? I think for people like us..(those who have not yet found that special one) it is one big mystery black box. For most of the lonely soul out there, it is as if there is this wall around us that guard us and not allowing us to slip. I came across this saying....

"Sometimes people put up walls not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to tear them down...."
For Adam's case, he did tear his own wall when he reaches to Ilyana.

I was deeply stirred when the part Imaan recites the poem for the first time to Ean, she really capture the feelings well and my heart sort of sink in together as the word slips through her lips. It was beautiful. Everything about the movie is stunning. The cinematography, the shots, angles, even the story line is beautiful.....let alone the background music.

Enough said, go watch it, definitely worth my RM7 (in Seremban..hehehe..)
To compare I like Cinta better but Sepi is still a must watch!! ;)

TuRniNg 27

I am 27 today!! Went to work like normal. Already booked tickets to watch Sepi tonite with my hsemate. Didn't really expect much. Still in Plant TA (turn around) period. Attended the daily progress meeting at 9am. The TA project manager (Heng Cheh) wished me birthday first thing during the meeting. I am a bit suprised ;) I told him like 2 weeks back, never thought he would remember.

Towards end of the meeting, Kak Yati slot in bringing some assortments and Secret Recipe's box!!! (Its my suprise b'day cake!!!). I was like...aaawwwhh..It turns out that one of the engineers (my movie buddies told the TA manager and they decided to celebrate ;) ) I did not managed to take any pictures coz I was so touched...:)

I actually have another cake in my OWN office courtesy from my Dept that is waiting to be cut :) so in the end I have 2 cakes :). At 11.30 I cut the second cake in the office.

Late last night my older sis text me saying that she has been hospitalised, she is waiting for the day. I did joke with her once, that come June 30th, I myself will take her to hospital and asked the doctor to induce her so that she will deliver on June 30th. My mum called at 12pm saying that she safely delivered my newborn niece at 10am!! What more can make my day?

Alhamdullillah, she is in good condition, and so are the latest member of the family. Too bad I cannot be with her due to this TA. I am happy, and glad coz all of this is happening today!!! I may not get fancy gifts, never has anyway..but I guess happiness is the best gift of all. For that one thing, I guess Allah gives my happiness in installment. I could not bargain for lump sum. So for now, this is it ;)

Hope this day never ends...tonight I am expecting to have a very good cry watching Sepi...its that a good way to end this day or what?

The tops are not in...

Ducth loss to Russian and now its up to Spain and Italy to prove whether or not Shebby's theory is valid. After the Croatia vs Turkey match, he said that the well rested teams have lost their tempo and therefore during task game, the did not manage to step up to the game. On the other hand, the not so rested teams has been keeping the beat once every 4 days and hence could pick up much better.

In last 2 q-final games, the least rested team managed to sustain their performance till extra time whilst not losing focus to score. Probably his theory is right. We'll see about that come tomorrow morning when Azzuri takes on Spaniard on the last place for semi final.

I did watch the Portugal Germany feat last 2 nights and bet you I love Portugal even more. Although there were sarcastic remarks from Shebby about Ronaldo being selfish and all, I beg to differ. Who cares what he says? It is just his opinion. From what I saw, superb skills by most of the Portuguese players and teamwork is at the top of their priority. Excellent passes and brilliant moves. I am looking forward for more of the sorts.

And then they were out.....

I missed the game last night. Have to wake up early this morning for this shut down!! And they lost 2-3 to Germany. I am devastated, sad to see my favorite lost. I do have a fear before the game, physically Portugal has 'smaller' people on the pitch if compared to Germany but was hoping that it will be an advantage to them. Apparently not.....sedih.....

Thinking of watching the repeat tonight..since I read the review on web that there were ..

"some mesmerising passing movements involving the likes of Deco, Simão and Cristiano Ronaldo before, in between and after the two German goals."...Unquote...read more here

I am going to miss their movements and brilliant passess for the rest of Euro. Nothing against Germany, they are good but I wish Portugal won the game!! But I guess they did a good job, man scoring 2 goals against Jens Lehmann is really a big deal.

I am so watching the match tonight...
