Why people never really show their appreciations on all your hard works and good jobs done. But they just can’t wait to sneak up behind you whenever you are off guard, and caught you red handed. They would point out this one mistake that you did, just because… you are being like everyone else. A normal human being who can make mistakes, who has bad hair day and most importantly…. not a super being that they thought you are.
What a disappointment eh? Anyway, I won’t be like “those” ungrateful, despicable people. Gratitude is the key. So here goes..
Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
Thank you for the good words you said.
Thank you for making me aware of who I am and what I’m capable of.
Thank you for making my day.
Thank you for tomorrow.
(I could go on and on….)
I’m proud to introduce a new member of Appt. 9: The Apple iPhone
After some time of ignoring and putting this phone out from my mind. But finally I succumb to the urge to get this phone and replace my 2 years Qtek. When I bought Qtek, the keyboard is the major reason. Afterwards, I found that screen keyboard is not bad at all.
Why I bought this iPhone? I like the whole package. Yeah yeah, one might say it’s all due to good marketing from Mr. Apple. I can’t deny it that Apple markets their product really good. But then, I’m not attracted to ibook, or ipod or ipod nano… yet… I am sooooo attracted to iPhone! So there you go! I’m no longer an Apple virgin.. muahahahaha
Well, you can read all about it on the Apple iPhone website. No need for me to recap it. I just got it less than 5 hours, so Ican’t say if it’s good or not. Well, I might be bias and say it is a good product, just because I paid a good fortune for it! Don’t ask me how much… just to give you an idea, I didn’t buy iPhone with subscription, meaning unblock, no subscription.. just da phone. hihihi
Anyway… I managed to cam-ho with it. Enjoy!
Careful… this sounds like a start of a whining senseless entry.
Last Saturday night we went to a great restaurant ‘le Grenier a Sel’ for my Birthday dinner. It’s our second time there. The first time was during our wedding anniversary. I forgot how great the food and the presentation was, so I didn’t bring my camera. It turned out I’m regretting for not bring my camera with me. On the other hand, I’m a bit “scared” that we are not allowed to take photos of the food. But anyway, the owner knew about the photos I took last time, she said thanks for putting the photos on the website. So, I guess it is OK. Maybe next time. It’s only that my bad experience in Malaysia and Thailand where I was told by the waiter that taking food photos is prohibited 
Anyway… I received great bithday presents (which I will cover in my kitchen blog because of the nature of the presents hihihihi)
Work?? hmmmpphh.. I got more Shaz I need this, Shaz please do this, Shaz why this is not done. Sometime, they even ask me about their own work. Crazy eh?? I just wish that for one day, they would leave me alone doing my own work!! Last Friday, I stopped pickup my phone because I just can’t deal with whatever request that they want. Now I know why I managed to get a lot of my work done if I do my work at ecafe after work. It’s because no one come to bother me with new requests or new information! Try to imagine, at work if I’m listening to a song, I can’t get 1 song to finish without being interrupted!!!
I told you this is a whining post. 
to me!!!! ngeh ngeh ngeh
If you don’t wish yourself, then no one will… and also if you didn’t tell anyone it’s your birthday, no one will know. Am I right?
So what did I do on my birthday? I took day off. I will make it an official day off day for me for the year to come. Give me those blardy vacation forms and I can fill them up to the next 10 years!! muahahaha…
Woke up big late this morning. Well, I’m used to wake up early nowadays. So basically I am trying to stay in bed as long as I could. I managed to stay in bed till almost 10 a.m. Oh, I was woken up at 6 a.m. by my mom’s sms. Sms-ed her back saying thank you for the wish and I’m going to continue sleep. hehehe.. Rejekkkk…
Morning basically lazying around in the house and checking work mail (Am I a workaholic?). My union colleague will not approve of this! hihihi…
Ahh.. it’s been long time that I didn’t wake up late and start my day in the afternoon.
At 3 p.m. went to an appointment at the office to sign my new contract. Not much given *sigh*. Had to use a longer route coz there was a strike ‘parade’ passing by around the area.
Then 2 hours of driving lesson. I really had visual problem at night. My teacher said I won’t learn much if I continue learning in the evening. *Sigh* So I asked her to change all my evening lessons to morning or afternoon. I’m my own boss at the mo, so I basically can arrange things during the day. I’m so tired driving at night and I know I won’t learn anything. My eyes are so strained that after the 2-hours driving, with my super powerful glasses, I see double! I’m not kidding. If I had my eye checked, I think the correction will go up. Not good, not good.
I promised my colleagues that I will bring chocolate cakes tomorrow. So gotta get some eggs.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and of course the b’day gifts 
Bisous!
Aya Hirano, the voice of Konata in Lucky Star apparently hit the success with the Timotei scene.
In one of the episodes, Konata mimics the Timotei shampoo commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU_iNPZL1_4
She’s so cute…
Then in one of Aya Hirano’s Q&A sessions regarding ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’, she was asked to say the Timotei part. Apparently she made the crowd so happy with just 3 simple words… See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfyIDF21LBc
Timotei.. timotei.. timoteeeiiii…
From watching Lucky Star, I discovered another anime called ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya‘.
Apparently after much searching, I found the anime on YouTube.com (where else?).
In Lucky Star, actually there are a lot of scenes which refers to and hinting back to this anime. But I guess I just thought they were some japanese cultural jokes.
Now after watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star, the jokes are more meaningful! It happens that The Melancholy… was out in 2006 and Lucky Star is out this year (2007). AND! the voices of Haruhi (The Melancholy…) and Konata (Lucky Star) are of the same person, Aya Hirano. Aya Hirano is also a jpop singer.
Here is the link to watch one of the scenes in Lucky Star that refers to The Melancholy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcq3QaVHXhI
Both animes are bit hits, especially The Melancholy… a.k.a SOS Brigade. Almost all of the fans could dance to the ending song!! Oh I still have to work up those choreo from Lucky Star muahahaha… — Lucky star –
….They made me wake up early on Saturdays and used all my money.. durrrudush!! kah kah kah
Morning driving lessons also call for retail therapy. I can’t say how much tiring and exhausting driving a car can be. Why do we torture ourselves just for the sake of going from one place to another in a box called car? I will cover this in my future whining entry. Just talking about it makes me tired hahaha…
Anyway.. shopping doesn’t make me tired. It is a very good thing to start up a day! hiihihi
Look what I bought this morning…
This is only the result of me not fast enough breaking at the orange traffic light. har har har. The fucking light changed while I was right on it! W’de hell!!
Lots of food, felt bloated.. thus not much posing pictures hihihihi…
There are a lot of Sara’s pics tho… So click on that cute face to see the photos..hhihihi
I think there are more pictures which are still not yet uploaded..
More more…
Look what I got from Eindhoven… hihihi…
Date: 2007-10-27
Venue: Chez nyanya
Menu:
- Nasi minyak, nasi impit, pulut kuning, rendang daging, ayam masak merah, serunding daging, grilled lamb, agar-agar laici, oranges.
Alhamdullilah I managed to cook as much as I planned. Missing the roti jala though, but I think we already had lots to eat.
After 2 saturday’s of open house invitations, it is time for my open house. I invited all Malaysian students currently residing in Nancy (apart from one student from Offenburg, sesat kekeke).
I started the day early (at 7:45 a.m mind you), for my driving lesson. After the lesson, I cleaned the house AND at the same time cook the nasi minyak and pulut kuning. Then, around noon I shopped at the market and kebab shop to pick up 3 roasted chickens (yum yum). Around 2 pm, as Shafeez arrived, I started the tumisss.. All in all, I managed to finish everything at 4pm, before the arrival of the guests at 5pm.
