Jumaat yang bermakna

Generally, Friday is a day where you go to work late, sit at your workplace and while waiting for your desktop/laptop to start you go to your colleague's workplace and start chit-chatting till god knows when and for all you know it's already time for lunch break. By the end of the day, you leave your office half an hour earlier than your normal office hour simply because it's Friday.

Unfortunate for me, this never happens. Friday means never-ending in-coming workloads and a day for me the get everything cleared before Friday ends else I'll have a very bad Monday.

But last Friday was different. We were greeted by ........ yummylicious looking men giving us free breakfast.

Yumm Yumm

It was one Media Owner's presentation day and they brought these good-looking-buffy-gorgeous men to serve us breakfast. And after the presentation finishes, there were more hot-looking men filling the room.

*pengsan*

Jason Godfrey and Henry Golding from DIVA's Hot Men Who Can Cook came to our office to promote the latest reality show (which will be aired soon) and I must say that they are really HOT. Honestly, I have no idea who the hell these men are *malu tutup muka dengan selimut* until one of my colleague whispered to another colleague on Henry's profile. Hah! buat malu jer.

These two hot looking men are really friendly.

Extra friendly that they made Nicole's face turned red all the time. But isn't she lucky? They even sat on her lap.

And finally to wrap the presentation, everyone gets the chance to take picture with these two hot men

wuhooooo

Ohh jangan jealous!

Good Saturday Afternoon

A soon to be married best friend of mine is having hard time with her wedding preparations. A bridezilla she is, we decided to treat her with something nice before officially tying the knot with her future husband. A 2 hours Spa session at Poise Organic Wellness Studio was where we were yesterday afternoon.

Thanks to Groupon, we managed to grab a worth-cheap ass 75% discount on full head to toe treatment. In way, I got to claim the much needed "me" time that I've been longing for. Only this time, I got to spend it with the girlfriends, how cool is that?! Being pregnant doesn't stop me from pampering myself with the goodness of Spa treatment although I did not get to enjoy the jacuzzi bath / steam bath / sauna but the full body scrub + foot massage + full body + head massage + eye refreshment were the bomb-est! I felt so fresh, light and most importantly, I felt clean after the session.

Before our 2pm session.

To bad that I didn't take photos of yesterday's event. Too caught-up with the "kesedapan". The place is nice. Totally recommended. Oh, it's so happen that the owner is an ex-stuff of SAA. A small world it is. Pi mai pi mai, tang tu saja!

I wish I could have the luxury to spend on Spa treatment every month. Tapi apa kan daya, I have other commitments to prioritize instead of spending just on leisure. Tapi apa yang penting, yesterday was the bomb-est!

How was your weekend? Hope you got to enjoy it as much as I am! *happy smile*

Hornymoon

After much delay, we finally .... finally booked our tickets yesterday night.

Isn't it awesome? Super sexcited excited! Counting days yo to 26 May 2011!

Oh, I gotta say that firefly is not a cheap airline. So much of calling themselves as a low cost carrier. Pandai mereka memanipulasi the amount of taxes that one has to pay. Bijak! Bijak! Promo yang tak seberapa nak promo. Mahal juga akhirnya.

But what the hell, I'm super excited *woot*woot*

OMD Team Building + Annual Dinner

Last Friday, my company had a 2 days 1 night trip up Awana Genting for our annual dinner + team building session. Too bad I don't have my camera with me all the time hence no pictures taken during the super fun outdoor activities that we had to do. It was raining cats and dogs since our arrival, we have no choice but to continue with the activities under the heavy rain. Imagine how freezing we were up there with activities that requires us to walk in a lake. Gila awesome lah! The ones I have here are also not in a good quality. I've been using my old camera for years but I have yet to master its' function. Very bad quality.

Indoor activities that we had after lunch break after the freezing cold outdoor activities.

Rock climbing rock lah for the fact that I actually climbed with a pair of jeans on. I can officially scrap one list from my bucket list.

And now comes the dinner. The theme was Superstar and I must say that they really put so much afford on this. Memang awesome lah!

OM team

Rockstars superstar.

GMs and Media Directors

My Media Director dressed as Whoopi Goldberg. Cool eh?

CEO as Jon Bon Jovi or maybe Slash or I don't know. He was very high that night like super high I don't think he remembers what he did that night.

Me and the rest of the girls.

Kelly as Katie Perry. Very sexy you'll

Rita as Kungfu Fighting ta ting ting ting....Wachaaaa ok I don't know who =P

My GM dressed as Mr. T.

We (me and my group-mates) won first prize for best performance that night for a RM1000. And not forgetting Coffee Maker + Estee Lauder perfume for lucky draw. Wohooo.

And before I go, here's a video by the management team (GMs, CFO and the CEO). Last minute request from the audience. Very random lah I tell you!

Cerita hunjung minggu

If you know my husband, you'll definitely know the size of his tummy. It's so obvious one could notice its' "visibility" even when one is kilometers away. No, I'm no kidding. It's something that he's proud off. He is one fella who is proud of his growing tummy. My husband is crazy that way.

He called me last Wednesday saying that he bought us bicycles. One for him and the other one is for me. I thought he was joking but when I arrived home from work, 2 bicycles were parked nicely in the kitchen. He was inspired by my father who owned a bicycle himself. Oh, my father cycled every morning. Izwan cycled every morning since then.

So yesterday we went cycling together.

We cycled the whole area of Taman Melawati to and fro. We conquered Melawati yo!

BUT!!!!!

Something bad happened this morning. Our bicycles, the 3 of us were stolen by an irresponsible buggers! Dad was furious beyond words as his favourite bicycle got stolen. He was about to get himself ready for a ride this morning when he saw our house gate was left unclosed. He remembered checking on the bicycles before performing subuh but half and hour later, the bicycles were gone. I'm sad obviously as I only got the chance to ride my bicycle once and Izwan well, he spent quite a sum of money on the bicycles. I feel sorry for him. I know he is sad too. Takde rezeki orang cakap. The bicycles which is only 4 days old were stolen by the damn buggers. I pray that those buggers will be hit by a super huge lori sampah at MRR2. Amin

I'm sad.

The last photo taken before the incident happened. Though he never expresses his sadness but I know he's sad especially when it involves something very valuable, something that you purchased with your own hard earning. The only thing that he's very into, very determined in doing was taken away only 4 days after purchasing. Takde rezeki. Ada hikmahnya kan?! But I'm still sad though on behalf of my husband. Hmm....

The one worth visiting

I'm already on leave. It's the second day and I'm already feeling restless. Ok! enough with the leave thingy, I'm here to write about my visit to a spa last Sunday. I'm so likey, likey! After I came out from the door, I've made myself a promise to visit a spa at least once a month (and Izwan agrees to it, woot! woot!) but only when money permits. Ok, RM200 must be put aside every month for spa visiting, yey!

Tini's Spa was where I was last Sunday.

I took their Body Pampered treatment to get this stress out from my body. And I must say that it work wonders. My body felt very clean, light, fresh and most of all it smells so damn good after the treatment. I'm sure going to do it again.

So here's what my body had:-

1) Before they start with the treatment, I was instructed by one of the spa people to rendam the kaki first. I don't know the purpose of doing so but I assumed it is to make the nerves a bit lembut kot! I did what I was instructed to do. I'm there to de-stress remember?!

Oh, speaking of which, the people at the spa are all friendly. 10 points extra!



2) After awhile, one of the girl leaded me to a room where I'm about to be massaged. I took my clothes off and covered myself with the pario/kain batik that they've provided. It felt so good beyond words. I can't even remembered how it felt. I fell asleep in between the massage. They started off with the leg and headed up till my head. Berbunyi-bunyi habis tulang-temulang. I'm the type of person who feel geli easily. Habis geli satu badan when she massaged me but keenakan urutan telah menepis kadar kegelian itu.

It made me thinking, no wonder-lah men love going for massages. Patutlah Pusat Urut sangat laku ye! I don't know-lah what other activities they had there in Pusat Urut but memang stim ye semasa di urut. Stim di sini bermaksud kesedapan luar batasan. Sila jangan fikir bukan-bukan.


3) After 45 minutes of a good massage, I was then brought to a room for a 20-minute Sauna session. I tell you, the heat kills me to bit. I was sweating more than a pig. That was indeed the longest 20 minutes of my life. Longest! But I survived it anyway. I had to bring along my phone to distract myself from the heat. But I survived it anyway.

I came out feeling noxious and dizzy. I was dehydrated, I think!. All the water came out during the session mane tak dehydrated. They gave me water to drink before continuing with the next treatment.

4) After a quick 5 minutes break, we continue with the scrub session. I picked the Papaya flavor as the coffee one is out of stock. It was cooling though. They scrubbed my whole body. Every part of it, except the one down south.

5) And we headed for the milky bath for the last treatment. I don't quite remember what flavor I picked but I remember the pouring of milky water through the body. It was the best 20-minute of my life. The best! I fell asleep (again) in the bath tub.

I cleaned myself after and put my clothes on right away. I feel fresh. I feel great. I feel good after the session and I'm sure that I'm going to come back to the second and third and forth sessions. It's a good way to de-stress yourself. The one requires your money spending. But it is definitely going to be the one worth spending.

And for those who are looking for a spa place to visit, I totally recommend Tini's Spa. They have two branches, one is at Taman Dagang, Ampang and the other one is at Shah Alam (few blocks from Jakel). They provide good services and their people are friendly too. You should make a visit and experience the awesomeness then you'll know what I mean.

Me, Us & Them

My company hosted a two days workshop at Avillion Admiral Cove, Port Dickson on 9 & 10 December 2010. All planners, buyers, General Managers and Finance department must make their presence. No one is exceptional and that is why the training was held during the weekdays as weekdays are working days (everyone has to come to work right?!). Kalau buat during weekends mesti akan ada yang bagi a long list of excuses on why they can't make it to the training. Good thinking!

So off we went on a Thursday morning. Everything went as planned. This is in fact the first time I'm actually in a program that is not on a janji melayu basis. We were scheduled to take off at 8am and arrived tentatively at 11am. We departed as planned and arrived about an hour early. Got our room key, freshen up a bit and off we went to our first session.

The objective was to enlighten on what we have been lacking; team work. We go to work everyday. We do our job as what has been instructed. We fight for things that we thought was right. Though we work on a team but we never really work as a team. We take credit on our own. We start blaming others when things go wrong so on and so forth.

But we never really question ourselves; am I a good employee/boss? Have I benefited others? How good my relationship with my colleagues/boss/team-mates?

So yea, it's good that we are reminded from time to time that we're actually working together as a team, not individually. We have to fix ourselves first before fixing others. And most importantly, we have to start communicating in order to work well with each other.

I didn't get the chance to take lots of photos. Here are just a few of what I have.

The CEO was trying his luck flying his version of an aeroplane.

Bottom: Our hand-made cupboard stylist hat.

Top: OM team with our GM.
Bottom: The whole of OMG (OMD + PHD)

Apart from the fun time I had, there was a slight mis-communication between the committee and the bus service company. The had forgotten to remind the bus drivers to pick us up at 3.30pm as scheduled but instead they've agreed to the time arrangement of picking us up at 7.30pm. Gila mengamuk semua orang. But the drivers managed to arrive at 5.30pm and we arrived KL safe and sound about 2 hours later. Knowing the traffic on a Friday night memang ma-fan.

Tips menjadi babysitter yang berjaya

My two lil' heroes are here for their annual school holiday sleepovers. It's a yearly event for these two lil' kids to come to their Maklang's house (my mother) for the weekend sleepover. Sleepover hanya boleh dilakukan hanya pada cuti hujung tahun ye adik-adik kerana cuti hujung tahun adalah panjang dan inilah masanya untuk mereka menghabiskan duit kakak-kakak saudara mereka.

My mother loves having them around; to cook for them, to make her life busy preparing for their breakfast, lunch and dinner and loves torturing us layaning karenah kanak-kanak ribena itu. She just loves listening to their screams and shouts.

Maka dengan itu, terhasillah tips-tips terbaik yang boleh digunapakai kepada mereka-mereka yang bernasib malang yang terpaksa menjaga anak buah/sepupu/adik saudara mahupun adik-adik kecil secara terpaksa.

And it ain't easy, I tell you!!

You would be surprised to know that this little kids, they wake up very early in the morning. As early as 8 in the morning. You have no choice but to wake up as early as they are just to make sure that they brush their teeth and get the morning susu dalam botol. Mandi and breakfast belom masanya lagi, their brains are still in sleeping mode. The possibilities going back to bed in very high.

Comes 10 to 11 am - that is the best time for you to prepare them for their morning shower, have breakfast and whatnot or else, they will end up not having shower till Maghrib. Oh, and the smell of air liur basi and the susu meleleh tepi pipi plus the dirty diaper that is still stuck underneath needs to be cleaned.

Now comes the serious pain in the head. They'll start fighting with each other till one of them got knock on the head and starts crying. In my case, my two lil' heroes will start chasing each other from the main hall to the kitchen and go back to the main hallway. And this is where the screams and shouts are the only sound that you are going to listen the entire morning/afternoon.

And all of the sudden, your house is so quiet as if there is no one staying in it. And that is when one of them has finally knocked-out.


Do not disturb them when their on their afternoon nap. It can always go on two ways; either before having the lunch meal or after. It depends on keadaan semasa. The younger brother fell asleep after fighting his own battle since none of us in the house nak layan dia. Not even the brother.


Si abang, dapat laptop, buka facebook, senyaplah dia. Kids nowadays, they are very modern. Facebook is part of their game lists. Computer is what they're eager for. PSP is what they carry in their pocket. Very modern. Sangat berteknologi tinggi. Sangat...........

This is also the time for you to get some rest but before that, make sure that you have their lunch meal prepared on the time. Coz boy, they'll get grumpy right after waking up for the empty stomach. Bangun-bangun, ayat pertama yang keluar is LAPAR. Nasi is what they're looking for.


Even nasi won't make them sit still. They will start asking impossible things just to put the pressure on you. To make them stay on their best behavior, you have no choice but to get them ice cream for dessert. In my case, the boys have already asked for McDonald's Sundae and Milk Shake. So off I go to the nearest drive-thru for the desserts. See, how lucky they are. Ice-cream pun dapat McDonald punya. Bertuah!

Bila petang pun menjelma, maka masing-masing pun sibuklah nak ke playground. Nasib playground hanya sekangkang kera dari rumah. Kalau tak masak lah nak bawa mereka pergi playground. You'll need to spend roughly about one to two hours accompanying them at the playground. You need to stay and monitor every steps of their way at the playground. Macam-macam boleh berlaku. You got to stay till they are fully "satisfied" with the playground. Kadang-kadang sampai hujan nak turun pun belom tentu mereka nak balik lagi.


Bila tiba waktu malam, tv adalah source utama hiburan mereka. Sebenarnya, tv adalah source utama hiburan mereka semenjak pagi cuma malam lebih kronik berbanding siang. You won't be able to watch your favorite tv programs as the remote control will be solely conquered by them. There'll be after one and another; Kampung boy, Hagemaru, Fukuchan, Spongebob, Hikayat Putera Shazlan - basically the entire cartoon channels; Ceria terutamanya. Sabar adalah segalanya yang ada perlukan ketika ini.


And when it's time for bed, you need to prepare the bed in a safety manner coz they sleep exactly like the picture shown above.

Good night everybody. Tomorrow will be another babysitting day!
