A day off

I'm looking forward to my day off this Thursday.. me and the gals will all take a day off on Thursday to spend the whole day together.. we've got a few things lined-up for us..it's been really hard to plan for the day... nak cuti bila pun dah berapa kali discuss/tukar.. hopefully it will all be worth it!

Sorry, I am a wreckless driver...

My hubby had an accident like 2 months back..his car was hit somewhere in USJ and was totally wrecked.. because of that we were car pooling to work for a bout 3 weeks.. and in that 3 weeks he gets agitated easily when I drive which kinda irritated me because I think he was just traumatised because of the accident lah.. I thot my driving was just okay.. well, no major accidents so far lah kan..


But like they say, accidents are bound to happen.. especially to an egoistical driver as moi'...

I hit a man last Saturday.. a man on a bike pulak tu..

I was leaving Kajang to go to Ampang for a Kenduri with Amir and my mother..but at a junction just a few kms from my house I hit a young chap on a motor bike.. seriously I thot I had looked left and right so when I heard the loud sound I thot I hit a big rock or something.. if it's not because of my mother who told me that there was someone lying on the grass, I could have been categorized as a hit and run driver okay!

Not until you yourself have experienced it..I don't think you can ever imagine seeing someone sprawled on the grass by the road side..with his motor bike nowhere to be seen.. his bags and stuff all over the place.. thank God he was still alive!!! Thank God he could move.. thank God there were people who stopped not just to look but to help us out.. it was my mom's first accident.. so she was panic like crazy.. mom's first few words were "Call la Nasa mintak dia tolong" .. and my first few thoughts pulak.. No Nasa! No Nasa! = no nagging about my driving in this lifetime! But of course I had to call him la kan.. takkan Amir pulak nak jadi hero to save the day.. although dia perasan dia Superman and Ultraman..

Brought the guy to the clinic..In the car he was telling my mum that yesterday dia jatuh motor, chasing a peragut.. he managed to catch the peragut.. haiyaa.. I had to hit a good samaritan who was already in pain lah pulak..while telling us all this he was whimpering..his back was in pain..apparently sebab masa dia tercampak tu terkena kat divider.. so at the clinic we told the dr to have an x-ray and all that.. Nasib baik tak ada apa2..

Hubby settled everything with the guy..we paid for all the bills..medical and motor bike.. nasib baik he chose not to report.. hubby said it was obviously my fault..even if I had looked left and right and was driving slow and the guy was speeding, he was from the main road.. so I'm supposed to stop..

Hubby said I don't look like someone who feels guilty about the whole thing..siap lepas tu boleh keluar drive pegi beli satay and balik rumah baca buku cerita.. that's me still trying to control macho..but in reality I had a turmoil of emotions: I felt stupid+guilty+scared+traumatised+thankful to God.. banyak lah..

Anyway, apart from the emotional and physical damage.. all in all it costs us about RM 500... bestnya.. dah la end of the month pulak tu kan..but what is 500 bucks as compared to a person's life and me ending up in jail kan....

Huhuhu.. I am full of remorse.. I'll be a Sunday driver from now onwards.. especially if I come to a junction..

Happenings @ B*N

Bila dah year end nih.. B*N is full of must-haves events.. last week we had the annual fire drill --- must be done to satisfy the local authorities punya requirements.. today we had the korban --- tradition in B*N..

For this year, I made sure that I do not have to go down the flight of stairs from the 19th floor! I did that back in 2006 and memang sempot giler..in 2007 I managed to escape because I was pregnant.. ni perks yang tak boleh dijual beli bila pregnant.. :) this time around I suggested some people from my team to be in the so called Emergency Response Team.. so confirm dapat 'soalan bocor'.. fire drill was quite happening with Bomba, Ambulance, Police, pelakon2 paksarela B*N.. of course we had hoped for some Abang2 Bomba ala Nicholas Cage lah kan to save us bila ada fire..


Khai was damn funny.. pelakon paksarela who menjiwai watak abis.. can play dead like real only..



I probably should not have worn pink because..




Out of the almost 1000 people standing there yours truly was called to the front to do some demo with the fire extinguisher!

I heard from the committee that B*N almost got a 'Fail' from the consultants.. apparently too many like yours truly knew about the fire drill and dah siap2 turun and was just either pretending to go to the loo or ATM machines at the lobby... hehe

This morning I attended the korban..this is my first... I was initially pretty skeptical to go because just like Zett.. I know I'll go like "Kesian the cow" in my head.. and I don't think I can tahan if I see the cows struggling for life or making some horrible sounds..



But surprisingly all the cows were very calm..macam redha ajer.. like they know they are going to heaven.. There were about 7 cows.. I did'nt see the first cow but apparently that was the only cow yang sruggle sikit sampai bengkok tiang lampu kat situ..


Seriously I did'nt know that sambil sembelih they will all takbir together.. maybe this had calmed all the cows...




The Puspanita kakaks and makciks all masak together-gether..

The outcome..

Soup for all the volunteers...

Daging korban for all the clerical staff..

I had lunch at Secret Recipe.. today's special was Aussie Beef Steak.. err.. some other day maybe .. I had the usual BBQ Chicken.. ;)

Madam Cenc loves us..at least for the week lah

Yup..u got that right...Madam Cenc loves us...

US=The team in Corporate Affairs who has gotten used to being the anak tiri..yang kalau dalam movie slalu kena dera cuci pinggan, baju dan jamban...

My guess is she had gotten praises for the event that Al-hamdulillah, was a success -- both opening and closing! Despite having to listen to her membebel about how not safe it was when the helicopter masuk kat bawah bumbung stadium during the closing ceremony punya gimmick...she was grinning and smiling and laughing till the end of the closing ceremony...

(We tried out a helicopter show for the gimmick... didnt have any rehearsals the day before because it was raining heavily..I was super anxious..super worried and seriously rasa nak terkucil throughout the show)

(The Corporate Affairs team with Tn Syed, owner of Hot Gears and his team yang kena basuh close to an hour after the show by Madam Cenc. I laughed when Tn Syed told me he thought when Madam Cenc came running to him after the show, she was going to congratulate him..sekali kena basuh sampai lunyai)

But her sms to me that nite = Priceless!! This is the first time ever that she had said thank you to us!

"Emilia, thank you for coordinating everything very well. I would like to invite you n the corp affairs team out for lunch next week. Well done."

And this whole week langsung tak ada kacau me and my team...no 2 hour lecture..no ridiculous reports to be done..we are all in her good books..

(Lunch @ chillis.. Tengokla muka diorang ni..cam muka nak mengenakan dia je masa bayar bil..:))

(Madam Cenc tak cakap cheese.... tapi saaaaaayyyyannnng Corporate Affairs...hehe)

My resolution

I finally got a new pc! I was using the dino years type of pc yang gemok dan lebar and lembap macam siput babi..















Bila dapat PC baru ni rasa macam semangat pulak nak mengemas meja & bilik... so my resolution for this week is to throw out all the unwanted boxes..dead roses..papers on my table..

Monkeys or Reformists??

Gerakan Reformasi Rakyat Malaysia (Reformis) menubuhkan skuad berani bogel bagi meneruskan hasrat untuk mengadakan demonstrasi tanpa seurat benang setelah permohonan permitnya tidak dilayan polis. Presidennya, Ramlan Abu Bakar berkata, anggota skuad itu nekad berbogel di khalayak ramai di majlis-majlis yang dihadiri Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim. Menurutnya, ia akan dilakukan sekiranya tuntutan supaya kadar kenaikan sewa kediaman Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) dikaji semula, tidak dipenuhi kerajaan negeri.

Beliau berkata, pihaknya memberi tempoh sehingga 12 Disember ini untuk Abdul Khalid memberi jawapan dan jika tiada maklum balas, demonstrasi itu akan diteruskan. "Reformis pada 13 November lalu memberi tempoh sebulan kepada Menteri Besar untuk nyatakan bentuk tindakan yang akan dilakukan bagi mengatasi masalah sewa PPR di Selangor. "Kalau tiada sebarang jawapan daripada Menteri Besar sendiri pada 12 Disember ini, kita akan isytihar perang bogel terhadapnya mulai tarikh itu," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita di luar Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Shah Alam di sini hari ini.


En. Ramlan, Mr Reformist President... I don't see your name in the list of Cleo's Most Eligible Bachelor or the very least Hero Remaja.... So please... unless you go for a quick plastic surgery in Thailand or eat some tonic that could give u a hot bod... for the love of God.. do not torture us with something that would end up in youtube for all the wrong reasons!

Experiment

I was bored..I experimented..seriously I live in the cave with the Flinstones.. I've just discovered that I can send pics from my hp to my lappy via bluetooth.. :p


anyhooo..while browsing the photos in my hp I realized that I snapped so many pics of the two brats sleeping..

macam innocent je bile tido kan..

and I have so many pics of Amir..everywhere..wearing costumes pun ader..

dalam kereta..



in my office..


as a tiger..

perasan Superman..

Got very few pics of little Sarah..mostly atas katil..sian dia..slalu kena tinggal..

and even fewer latest pic of hubby... hehe..soweee.. well, he does'nt have that many pics of me in his hp either..

And none of my pic - alone - taken by me. I wonder how some people can take tonnes of pics of their own self siap berbagai-bagai make-up theme & pose2 ala2 ayu & manja -- close range sumore -- and have like 200 of em posted in FB... o well.. when there is demand .. there will be supply..

anyway, I can't help but smile looking at the pics..brought back memories..and frankly as much as I enjoy motherhood..I can't imagine if there is another addition anytime soon! Hida, I salut u! ;)
