.new beginning, perhaps? May 29, 2008

30/05/08 will be my last day working at my current company. I’ve decided to join the GRE*EN thingy. It will commence on the 1st of June and I need to stay at this hostel place (yeah, so back to hostel life) in Cheras for 2 months and then I’ll head for the 10 month training anywhere they want to sent me (Let’s just hope it’s around KL)

On another note, I’m looking for housemate. Apartment is at Pelangi Damansara. The Apartment. Not the Pelangi Damansara the Condo. I’m not sure about the rent & whatsoever but will find out about it soon.

So, what’s Miss Jismin’s activities lately? PD hols, which was actually nearly 2 weeks ago. It has been a hectic weeks, with my 1st kazen from my mum side engagement. We were sooooooo excited bout this, and since I love to criticize about everything, I criticize a lot about the house. And believe me, if you looked at the tents, the tokens the soon-to-be bride gave to guests, the room deco – you will think it’s a wedding already. Still waiting for edited pictures from my uncle, so that have to wait.

During the Wesak hols, the KL clan of Haji Maon decided to spent the short hols at PD. It’s like a routine in the family. One must visit PD at least once a year. So off we go the big & spacious TNB condo. Nothing much, the usual stuff. Cousins catching up & gossippings, mandi laut (w00t!!!), karaoke -ing.

Well, speaking of karaoke, all of us felt unsatisfied with the service. We booked the Private Room, as malu laaa nak menanyi melalak in the public lounge kan. Turns out, the Private Room’s songs selection are all out dated. Like within less than 1 hour, we felt bored already and we totally envied those people outside. I even make out a note, via the microphone “Kenapa lagu banyak x sedap” and all the cousins laughed at my silliness. I really do hope the karaoke chaperon heard my retorts.

And on Sunday, after 2 hours of mandi laut-banana boat-beach ball activities, during the evenings, the cousins decided to ronda-ronda PD. We decided to stop at this beach side, which we need to pay rm3 for the parking (what the h***??). But since we’re already there and it’s kinda hard to U-turn we surrender to the Parking Space Collector. The beach turns out prettier than the normal beach. Oke JUST the sands. It’s prettier and they have some cool huts. And that’s it. We have no matt, no old newspaper; just sitting there looking at other people bermandi manda.

Knowing how the camera loves me (or the other way around) and since we have pretty sand-beach, I decided to take several jump shots. Hehehe. And I managed to infect those virus to the cousins. Action speaks louder than words rite, so better savour the pix.

Yeah, I’m proud to have crazy-xtau malu-photogenic-cam whoring cousins. We rock!!

On another note, here’s my next activity. And Shai, ekau nk jimat bole la tumpang ‘musuh ketat’ ekau tu haaa. Dua2 from Shah Alam. Jimat haaaa. Hehehe.

Eyh, ada lagi aktiviti terdekat. SHOPPING!! It will always be in my list.

.minggu lepas. May 15, 2008

Shai bising2 dah, “Cik Jismin x reti2 nk update blog ke?”

Reti cik shai, tp cik jismin malas bangat. Maaf.

Birthday. How was birthday? Being 24, birthday is definitely NOT sweets, sugar & everything nice. It felt so mundane, yet I felt matured. I flee home, seeking comfort & protection from the place I know that could offer me that. Plus, it’s a triple celebration for me. My birthday, Ayah’s birthday & pre- Mother’s Day as I couldn’t come home on the 11th. And also meeting the sisters. Adek as annoying as always and Nana now can wheeled me around Ipoh anytime she is home in her pink Kancil. I like.

I received the most precious birthday present from an unexpected person. Just like Nana said, “Kabel kamu sudah kuat ye”. Huhu, xde la Nana. Biarlah Ibu nak berbaik2 dengan kak yong. Apalah kamu.

I Love You Ibu. To compare the brooch I get for you with this is totally unmatchable. Ayah jangan jeles tau. Hikhik.

Then, last Wednesday, I went for the GREEN programme interview. I know nothing about the management question they asked on the objective paper, but I know I excelled in my interview one-on-one session. It’s the thing I know I can do the best; TALKING. Whether in Malay or English. Sadly, that’s the only skill I learned thru my Uni years. Even better than my programming skills. And thanx to my job, I’m adapting to a better slang and I realize I pronounced things better and with style *haha, apa ko merepek & angkat bangkul ni Jis?*

Let’s hope the outcome is overwhelming

After the interview session, moiself went around Time Square (as the interview was held at the Convention Centre) and went scavenging for good bargain again, and went home with this.

White Dress(RM15), Cute Flat (RM15), DVD – bought previously was Hero,
Nodame & Proposal Daisakusen SP. The new one are Cat Returns
& Kiki’s Delivery Service. The Jay Chou’s DVD is for Madam Shai

Notice that the dress and the shoe bear the same price. I wouldn’t say the flat is that comfy, I need to plaster at the back of my heel or at the back of the shoe to prevent blister. Still, it’s cute. And I’m intended to buy another one with different design, sooner. And I splurge myself again at Mr Ramen. This time, I tried the Asam Laksa Soba. Sgt cair la kuahnya. But I like Tom Yam fried soba. Delicious. The California Handroll is good too, because I normally loathe it. It’s good because I can eat it!! Next time, I want to try the Shabu Shabu steamboat pulak. Anyone to join me?

The scrumptious Asam Laksa Set at MR Ramen

And last weekend, me & Masni decided to got to Bukit Tinggi. I won’t tell much as I’m still waiting for pix from Masni but here’s a glimpse of the place. We invited Shai to tag along but she had some family plan (how’s your Pedas Spring?)

And last night, me & cousin catch the Marie Digby Live in KL showcase at OU. I’m not really a fan of hers, but hey, it’s a free show. Why not come along. I managed to snap few pix of hers, though it’s from the side only. Jadi laaaa.
