American Idol, in my perspective

- sanjaya is a closet gay. it would be hair-raising if he won (pun intended).

- phil has the personality of a snail. bila nak kena kick out ni?

- hailey has the personality that equals a lightbulb. i agree with simon scowl - she's got a good tactic of showing lotsa legs to get votes. how slutty is that.

- blake is ok, but the mulut a bit senget, doncha think so? still he doesn't have the x-factor..

- jordin is a good singer but can't beat the 2 divas - "kiki" lakisha & melinda dr. doolittle.

- chris the timberlake-look&soundalike is too teeny bopperish for me lah. his dancing movements are somewhat cacat to me. sorry.

- either kiki or melinda will win this competition. i hope.

ps: i miss the fat chris. now he's got personality *sighs*

an almost perfect weekend - well, *nothing* is perfect, right?

remember the announcement i was telling u about? telling u later.

the wkend started off on friday night when we went to fulfill our visual satisfaction with a movie, The Reaping.. good movie, very biblical-horror in nature so i didn't really know what was coming next or whatever in relation to the plague yada yada.. but all in all, a good friday night show.

next morning, we woke up at around 10ish and i did some laundry. had lunch at some nasi campur restaurant and then i felt a sense of utter dead-weighing sleepiness. so after that we went home to lepaks. balik je rumah, i slept from 3-6pm i think.. damn syiok man. malam tu we went to have dinner at Hartamas Square, then went to Bangsar ViIIage for a look-see cos we hadn't been there yet.

Bangsar ViIIage (of the damned ;) is a league of its own. even the Vincci there is of premium scale i.e. MAHAL. but the shoes were damn lovely lah.. a pair of court shoes would cost u somewhere around RM139.90 to RM189.90 ish. nothing i picked up was less than RM100. go figure.

other shops there were of course the mahals kind. some were unfamiliar to me but jual benda2 biasa at a premium price. very snotty indeed.

but i did find a good accessories shop - Aldo. their bags are reasonable la to me. i'm thinking of getting this black (what else) handbag for work at RM166. it's big and roomy, perfect for mrs. hypochondriac here. i can put all sorts of meds i want in there and maybe a small sundry shop hehe. i couldn't get it with the hubs lingering around the other day cos nanti he'll be thinking, "waa banyaknya duit bini aku beli benda2 yang dia dah ada. bila nak beli grocery, aku jugak kena bayor". haha maybe he won't think that, but what if he does? beli belakang dia is mucho better than depan2 dia, kan?

so anyway, as we strolled out of Bangsar ViIIage, we heard a live band playing at The Social. kaypohchi modes on, we went to see what the ruckus was all about and to our delight, there was this 7-piece jazz band with a good girl singer. uber coolness! we decided to "have a drink" (teh la bukan alco ok) and listen to the girl croon. it was worth it. we haven't enjoyed a jazz band in yonks and this was a much pleasant welcome.

balik rumah lepas tu, citer "Crash" was on channel 42 so aku pun tengok la while the lover read his newspapers (yes he likes to read his papers at night when the whole world already knows what's going on) and we slept at around 3am.

sunday morning, woke up at 8am to let the cleaner in, tido balik sampai pukul 10.30 gitu. got up and watched some tv until afternoon and then had buffet lunch at Sheraton Subang. afterwards, we went to Sunway Pyramid to do some random shopping then went back home to (what else) sleep again. i cooked some pasta for dinner.

at about 9.15pm i was just about to lipat the laundry when the lights went off. aiyoo power failure la pulak.. this is my first time ever since i moved in this house. it was a bleedingly hot night so jim took me out where there were lights. the whole of Ara D'sara was affected so kitaorang pegi mamak, minum sambil baca paper. half hour later they corrected the problem and we went back home to a brightly lit house with panda doing a circus act pacing on the window ledge. sheeesh.

watched some CSI right before i slept and the night was spent dreaming about running away from smthg. now on monday morning, my body is tired (from the running) and i feel a little bit dizzy (still from the running).

trivia: i don't run in my waking hours, so does running in my sleep count as exercise? :D

so there goes my almost perfect wkend... hubba-hubba is gonna go offshore in miri this wednesday to next monday, hence the "almost". it's like he's bribing me with good memories so that when he's away, i won't feel so sad. sigh... my "almost" perfect husband is "almost" too sweet sometimes.. (yes yes i am grateful)

all in all, the wkend was kinda perfect cos i got to sleep a lot hehe. i like :)

ok so now comes the big announcement.

i didn't ask for this ok, i wasn't even looking. but that's why i said aku ni murah rejeki kot.

NOTE to kay and abang lan (or mana2 orang ofis yang baca blog aku): please don't tell anyone in the office yet, especially our dept. just keep it to yourself first and i'll tell them when the time is right.

i received a call from the national oil & gas company for a job interview. it totally came out of the blue. so i went, expecting nothing (cos i've gone there for interviews before i started working here but they became silent afterward when they saw how much i was asking for). but this time, they called me in for a 2nd interview with the ceo, and a third with the HR. and last two fridays, i got an offer letter.

so ya guys, i'm gonna be changing jobs quite soon. i just wanna emphasize that i didn't go out looking for a job, it looked for me.

honestly? i feel like i'm in a relationship that's moving too fast. i'm not quite certain if i'm ready to make the jump (again), but when is "ready" anyways?

the funny thing is, i submitted my application and resume to them 3 years ago ok. tu yang terkejut badak tu.

i haven't tendered in my resignation here yet, am strategizing my departure. i would like to have a week off before i start at the new place lah. rileks2 dulu... i might start there on my bday.
so itu lah announcement aku.

sekian.

someone told me once, u haven't really made it in the virtual world until u have a stalker.

and do i have a blog stalker for u.

this person, guy or girl, disguises him/herself as the infamous "anonymous", also known as "pengecut".

dia asyik la tulis komen-komen yang amat nasty kepada aku yang innocent ni. aku tak paham kenapalah dia tu tersangatlah pengecut dan kijam dan tulis benda-benda yang jahat-jahat kat aku. kalau tak suka kat aku, cakap jelah, kan? pastu, kalau dah menyampah kat aku, yang paling aku tak paham sekali is kenapa dia still baca aku punya blog? sah-sah la apa yang aku tulis semua adalah benda-benda yang dia benci dengar pasal aku, betul tak?

aku baru je bukak blog aku pagi ni and ada 3 comments from this person. first comment dia merapu la. the second comment tu dia still tak sedar yang the comment moderation is on, pastu dia letak la nama dia as "mingdynasty", yang last sekali tu baru dia sedar (lembabnya dia ni) and again tulis under anonymous. last komen dia, dia cakap - siap kena check and approvve baru boleh masuk comment...haha..so not cool...confirmed!!!..retarded.

kawan-kawan sekalian - ada ke patut? saper yang retarded ni? dia ke aku? dia yang tak tau pasal comment moderation ni punya technology, aku pulak yang retarded? ada sesaper kenal budak gila mingdynasty ni tak?

i turned on the comments moderation setting because (1) i received some spam saying that i won USD5,000 bla3 and obviously i didn't win that much money right, and (2) last time i checked, this is my blog and nobody has to pay to come and read it, so sukati aku lah nak bubuh setting apa-apa, betul tak?

yang kelakarnya, dia geram kat aku sangat tu sebab aku cakap aku "cool" in the previous entry. dia cakap aku tak cool. eh, salah ke aku buat lawak kata diri aku cool? dia tu yang takde humour bone, aku pulak yang retarded?

aku cuma paling tak paham mentality orang-orang macam ni. dia tu yang tak cool, dah la pengecut, tulis comment under anonymous, pastu keep stalking aku punya blog, pastu leave nasty comments. tah pape tah.

saper yang retarded ni korang??? tolong lah cakap kat aku.

paling senang, kalau tak suka sangat kat aku, like u have a personal vendetta against me, please be a man/woman and have the balls to tell it to my face. or email me personally about the things that i've done to u using your REAL NAME. tapi i know that u won't do that kan? cos u're a pengecut. that's all that u are.

FYI, i'm not perfect. aku dah dapat nasty comments from anonymouses a coupla times dah. ayat-ayat sakit hati tu lebih kurang sama je aku tengok. ada sekali tu, ada sorang anonymous ni leave a comment yang dengki kat husband-husband kawan-kawan aku (tapi aku tak publish la that comment). dia cakap semua husband2 kitaorang tak handsome. lerss.. gila ke apa. itu dah pemberian Tuhan lah, how can u comment on someone's looks? that's so mean. ko tu supermodel ke? kalau ye pon, Tuhan boleh ambik je your looks whenever He likes it (kena eksiden teruk or smthg) if u continue to riak and comment on other's looks, baru padan muka kau nanti. furthermore, dah jodoh kitaorang dengan orang-orang yang tak handsome tapi sayang kat kitaorang gilababi, kau jeles ek? u "poor" thing.

anyway, i still dono if these anonymouses are the same person or different people, but to me, they're all the same lah. cowards disguised in sheep skin - mmmbbeekkkk.

so, puas ke hati kau buat orang sakit hati? kalau dah tak suka, toksah lah baca. senang je. yang busuk hati dengan aku sangat tu kenapa? apa aku dah buat kat kau? cakap jelah so that we all can move on with our lives. why hold so much grudge for so long? or how long has it been? aku pun tak tau lah engkau ni. u don't have a life eh? kesiannnn kau. if u find so much "joy" in leaving nasty comments on people's blogs, then u're a pathetic reason for a human being lah. HATI BUSUK.

the least u could do to redeem your dignity is to use your real name. kan korang?

ok, aku nak jadi LEBIH "retarded" by turning off the anonymous comments setting (can he/she catch the sarcasm or is he/she the retarded one?) so that nobody can leave comments being anonymouses anymore. puas ati aku.

GET A LIFE la u stalkers. no good will come out of what u're doing, u know. it's all about karma. u'll see what will happen to u nanti...

cool as a cucumber, only poorer by a few digits

i had a slight disappointment yesterday. i got my monthly red flag, which indicates that i'm not u-know-what. if i weren't expecting anything, i'd be glad for the flag to arrive at my doorstep, but not this time around..

anywho, as the weak little human being that i am, i felt a wee bit put down by the circumstances. so in my moment of weakness, i went out in search of an instant gratifier (read: major retail therapy). i purchased smthg that i would've bought in a few months' time anyway... why not now, right?

i had bought another telecommunications device (shut up!).

i know, u guys must be saying "omg this girl is crazy, didn't she just get one like last month?"

wellll if u wanna go into specifics, the last one was purchased not as vaguely as last month, but specifically a month and 12 days back (as at today). plus, i like owning two at a time so that i can switch whenever my mood strikes it. so the one purchased last month-&-12-days is still around at home, hibernating as we speak. i bartered (and topped up a few bucks) the business-looking sister (which had reached and way passed its 6 months lifespan in my care) and upgraded it to a flipper which still has the business looks of its predecessor. i'm mighty happy even though i had to dip into my savings to get it.

it oozes coolness. and cool is what zeeda is. heh.

the ultimate moral of the story is: retail therapy is the best thing that God ever invented for women!!!

my sunday dids

woke up at 7.30 am with a full bladder, emptied it and couldn't go back to sleep. cleaner came at 8 am, let her in, went back to bed and read a book with the lover snuggling on my neck.

went to a wedding of an ex-schoolmate in sungai buloh at noon. met with the old girls... didn't talk with them much though.. i was too tired from the lack of morning sleep.

went back home and slept for 2 hours. fuh best giler.

woke up and went down to kitchen to *ehem* cook. i made baked pasta and grilled veges. lover said they're sedap but a little bit too bland. hmph. nak makan dengan sambal kot (he's so melayu i tell u :P ).

there were some stray dogs lying around our house and brave little midget gypsie was so curious, she sat near the dogs to have an up-close-and-personal look. abang panda sat behind and looked only. jadi jaga le konon.

today is sissy in law, emy's 29th birthday - happy birthday M! i know u won't ever read my blog, but it's the thought that counts kan :)

HAPPY APRIL'S FOOL!

be. nice.

ps: brazillians are awesome! ;D
