Kronologi Lunch, Dinner Bawak ke Sahur di Taja Oleh Mumbay Tekstil

Seperti yang anda semua sedia maklum, #teamkawenmakesah telah pun menamatkan misi berkampung di Jakarta selama 5hari 4malam pada tarikh 09-Jun-2017 hingga 13-Jun-2017. Tapi boss lebey duk extra sehari, tajaan sepenuhnya oleh Air Asia yg gagal menyediakan penerbangan pulang ke tanah air malam 13-Jun-2017 tersebut. So Makesah extend sehari sampai 14hb, Air Asia bagi hotel free ☺. Yang tu nanti kite cerite.

So sepanjang 5hari di Kota Jakarta, berikut adalah senarai2 persiapan perkahwinan yang sempat di cover oleh #teamkawenmakesah dalam tempoh tersebut:

1. Material
    a. Mempelai
    b. Keluarga Mempelai (Both Side)
    c. Flower Girls/Boys
    d. Bride's Maids
    e. Pelamin (Tunang)
2. Kad Kawen
3. Baju Tunang (naseb je ni)

So Makesah sembang kisah sehari well spent di Pasar Mayestik saje dlm post kali ini. Memandangkan memang satu hari tu #teamkawenmakesah duk kat Mumbay Tekstil dr bukak kul 11 pagi sampai kul 4 ptg. Item 2 Makesah akan buat separate post utk review vendor kad kawen from Pasar Tebet, baju tunang tu kalau rajin hakak review la. Kalau tak sorry, tak dayo. Haha

Sementare tunggu Kerol nak tukar baju lah, Makesah nak iron tudung lah. So quarter passed 10 baru lah kluar and naik blue bird from Thamrin City to Pasar Mayestik. Accomodation kat Thamrin City juga adalah awesome, nanti ade mase hakak share. So approximately almost 11 mcm tu, sampai sane trus tuju Sanggar Tekstil sebab perasan mcm last year shopping bnyk plastik Sanggar. Tapi sebab susun atur mcm terlampau pack, susah nak tgk, lampu pun mcm tak berapa nak hado. So hakak terus lah, "Makasih yaaa, nanti kembali". Terus berlalu menuju ke Mumbay Tekstil tanpa berfikir panjang.

Bare with me, I have no intention of keeping my post simple. Haha. Kalau bole hakak nak korang dapat feel tu, turun naik level 2, level 1. Pegi ground floor, naik tingkat 2 balik. Turun bawah carik pak Bhim, naik atas balik. Dah turun kat ground floor, pastu pak Bhim paksa gi makan kat level 1 and so on. Hihi

As I walked into the 3 storey shop, Pak Bhim mcm dah bole smell bau bridezilla dalam diri Makesah. Trus assist the sales girl, mase tu baru start tgk2 lace kat bawah. Ingat nak sponser Prada lace utk bride's maids, apakan daya hajat tak sampai. Prada lace dekat Jakarta pun, mahal !!! They showed me a few kind of lace, since I have 2 kinds to look for. One for the ladies of bride's family, and another colour for the bride's maids.

Bride's maid tu memang ade clear idea la, nak beli ape. Tapi utk mak Makesah tu adalah tricky. Have you met the women who single handily created raised Makesah ?? Haha. No need details, but she's kind of opinionated ☺. Ni tak bole, tu tak lawa. Yang ni better, yg tu berkilat sangat. Haha. So all the fancy2 new design such ah reranting lah, debunga lah, mendaun ke adalah out of the picture. Something decent, but not understated. Kau rase ??

Since mcm dead end kat ground level sebab lace mahal2, so kami terus ke level 2 utk sambung lace hunting. Dorang tak panggil lace, die panggil brokat. So you name it, semi Perancis. Japang. By panel, by meter. Ikut la, budget anda. So di sini lah Makesah terpaksa tukar color palette for reception kerana warna asal adalah almost impossible to comply with. Reason been, nak carik tone blueish/purplish grey utk 3 material yg berbeza adalah kerja gila. Don't go out of your mind ckp, 'xpe, nanti lining bole carik kedai lain. Beli lace dgn tulle dulu'. Itu adalah cubaan bunuh diri. Last2 kau akan end up beli whole new tone dekat kedai lain.

Tips 1: My advice, be flexible. Jgn stuck to one idea. Especially those with difficult to find shades of color mcm mustard, hot pink, olive green, dusty purple and so on. Kalau design kain plain je, cavalli ke cotton then it's fine. But if u wanna match them with lace ke, chiffon ke. It's pretty much imposible, maybe ?? Kalau kau ade duit bole spend 5k beli lace memahal utk family/bride's maid, why not ?? Ade je yg memahal tu to match your unique colour palette.

Tips 2: Adalah sangat mudah utk plan/budget anda berubah berdasarkan komen penjual kain, penjahit baju. Tukang teman gi tempah baju, kazen seblah mak. Ni cerita small scale people who was informed about you getting married, just family and really close friends. Belum masuk former best friends, gepren exboipren dan sebagainya. I'm telling you, one word from people you admire the most can change your plan in 2 seconds.
Contoh: Memang Makesah dah excited level Yahudi about shopping kat Jakarta, dah allocate 1million per meter for the wedding dress. Tetibe designer ckp, "You biar I beli la". Lepas tu kau pun terus diam. Kau akan ambik mase dlm 2menet utk fight your self-denial, lepas tu baru kau bole move on and agree kau bayar designer tu mahal2 biar je lah die beli kain bagai lagi senang keje die & kau juga.
Since reception dress tak ada dlm program perkampungan Jakarta, dekat situ dah save 5mil. Sila lah convert sendiri, tak kuase hakak nak reveal budget baju kawen hakak yg sekian sekian.

That was the first part - the level 2, full of lace. Perancis, Japang bla bla bla I mean. Tips tak ada kene mengena dgn kronologi ini. Just nak insert my opinion while it's relevant. So since the blueish/purplish grey is difficult to find, sebab lace xde kaler tu. Tulle pun mcm tak berapa nak hado. So we start with new colour, try match dgn lining. Then pilih tone lining yg mengancam, then baru your sales assistant akan start potong. Bila dah potong ni, meaning dah final. Bukak bill, then sila lah bayar.

Tips 3: Senaraikan nama segala bride's maids, family member anda. Lepas tu indicate sorang2 nak pakai brape meter. Ade yg cukup 3.5 je, ade yg nak pakai sampai 4.5m. Mcm lace, nak jimat nyer pasal. Bride's maids yg masih single tu hakak bagi 1.5m je, mak2 org hakak bagi 2m kalau tak nanti laki dorang hempuk hakak pakai selipar nengok bini dorang pakai baju kurung moden singkat.
Kate lah bride's maid hakak ade 13, so by logik lining 13x4=52 & lace 13x2=26. Since mostly kain kat sane bnyk lerang 60, 3.5m dah cukup utk normal size Asian so instead just pay utk 46m lining & 21m lace. Paham ?? Kalau lace tu 75,000 rp. pun, kau dah bole save 375,000 rp. Over RM 100 dah, bole gi makan kepiting. Sapo nak bagi ??

Tips 4: Get the agreed price before dorang potong, sebab from the point potong-pack-bil there's no room for negotiation anymore. Kalau korang nak mintak kurang lagi pun, kene bargain on next material/deal. Let say kau rase kau beli bnyk dah ni, 50m. Xkan xbole kurang lagi. Jawapan nya memang tak. After 5mins baru kau nak perasan 100rb tu mahal, convert balik lebih kurang RM 30 gak satu meter. So mase kau beli cotton lagi 24m tu kau tawar lah lagi kaw2 sampai kau rase baloi utk kaver lost previous deal.

Lepas settle bride's maids, Makesah tinggal je minah tu kat level 2 bertungkus lumus potong kain. Lepas tu terjah level 1 sebab memang aim nak beli cotton for gent for both bride's & groom's family. Mase ni Pak Bhim kat level 2 lagi, sebab assist the sales girl. Since mase memilih tu memang ada lah stock kat situ. Tapi bila dah total jadik 46m tu, Pak Bhim kene lah call stor lah, call other branch bagi code semua check ade stock ke tak.

Bila kau jalan sesorang pegi different level, SA lain xkan layan kau. Sebab customer die pun ade je naik atas tadi, tengok2 lace. Who doesn't pegi pegang2 lace bila pegi kedai kain kan ?? So die dah nampak kau dgn Pak Bhim and the girl yg tgh potong kain tu. So die xkan sailang, SA lain akan entertain customer lain, die tak kan layan kau & suruh kau tunggu Pak Bhim.

So jalan2 kat level 1 on first round was useless, kene naik atas balik panggil Pak Bhim. Baru die turun level 1 explain cotton tu kaler lain ade tapi kene ambik kat stor. Referring to the colour cart je, terus agree utk gents side lelaki. Kalau bole nak cotton jugak utk gents side hakak, tapi mcm tak menarik sgt. So ambik cavalli utk all my family members (ladies dgn gents). Same thing I did for the bride's maids, Makesah applied utk family both sides - list kan bape meter nak potong2 bagi kat SA. Tu pun terlupa, kak ngah my future husband baru pregnant. So by the time reception dah 6-7 bulan, sure need extra.

Settle baju family my side, baru turun ground floor again. Ingat nak beli prada lace for my family, this time failed attempt jugak sebab kaler tak masuk. At this point, Pak Bhim je yg follow me. Sebab the SA tak sempat2 potong kain. Dr GF, naik balik pegi tgk semi French kat level 2. Korean/Japanese lace memang cheaper, tapi design xbole lawan French lace. French lace adelah lebih exclusive dan lembut. Since the most reasonable choice for my family was lace by panel, so dorang just pull out and pack.

Then boipren Makesah call, previously mase pilih material for my family. I tried to call him, tapi tak angkat. Sebab cotton dgn cavalli for ladies tu colour in different shades, tapi still in one tone. Tak paham kan ?? Haha. Senang citer baju laki gelap sikit, the ladies in lighter shades. So berlarian lah Makesah dr level 2 turun level 1 balik, semangat nak tunjuk kat boipren. Ok ke tak kalau camtu. Being a man, you know the answer most probably I will get - "bole je".

Don't need to get over dramatic, kind of expected pun. He will answer exactly as it is, but it gives some kind of secure. Relief. To hear that from him. So this next step is important, to me it is. So Makesah collect balik all the papers I wrote and passed dekat SA tu, so I can track back berapa bnyk kain dah potong. Should I remind you, whatever you agreed for them to cut you have to pay.

So I listed down, for bride's maids. Types of material, dgn harga. Then you will know how much you have spent. So lepas kira lace harga sekian, cavalli harga sekian. Cotton sekian ribu, total berapa. So I know how much I had left to spend, baru Makesah agreed pilih kain utk baju nikah. Automatically you can control your budget. So kalau dah tau budget tinggal 1juta, carik la lace dlm range 200rb. Lining lagi, lining plak nak kene matching dgn baju melayu. Nak full lace ke, half lace ke. Plan awal2. Mcm hakak, baju nikah/reception ade option nak hantar kat designer. That's why kain baju nikah jatuh last priority. Settle bride's maids dgn family dulu.

Tips 5: Beads in Indonesia is call payed. So nak carik within budget senang, bagitau je 'tanak payed'

Tips 6: Know your needs, prioritised what's important first. Mcm material utk baju nikah, and baju adik beradik dulu. Abang ipar ke, bakal adik ipar ke. Kalau tak cukup budget bole suruh dorang beli lain utk matching kan laki/bini dorang. Mcm hakak, kire adik-beradik/spouse dulu. Pastu baru consider anak2 buah. Naseb baik bakal anak buah kecik2 lagi.

We're only half way thru, haha. Lupe plak nak bagitau, lepas pilih kain bride's maids. The point when Makesah start pilih material for both sides' family, Makesah dah dismissed team bagi dorang free and easy super long lunch break. Sampai dorang dah bosan tak tahu nak buat ape, patah balik pegi Mumbay Tekstil pun Makesah tak siap2 lagi.

Disebabkan oleh perbezaan waktu (walaupun sebenarnya lebih kurang je) antara Jakarta & Johor Bahru, Makesah tak puase. :D Awal2 masa sampai tu memang pak Bhim suh bagi teh botol siap2. Mase pilih kain utk family tu die dah order kan lunch dah pun. Sebab #teamkawenmakesah tgh jejalan mase dorang ambik order lunch, so dorang nyer makanan lambat sikit. Tu yg xhabis makan, tapau bawak balik bole buat sahur. Hehe

Ok, so kain baju nikah ni Makesah rase baik hati plak hari ni nak share details. Hehe. Latest design memang ade yg sampai 1mil per meter. Lace 2017, you know. 3d, bunga timbul. Sequin, you do the research. Yg 600k pun dah lawa dah actually. Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Sebab hakak ni old pesen sikit, so yg terkenan di hati Makesah tu agak so 2000 late design nya. So it cost 450rb per meter. 450x5 adalah 2.25mil. Kan hakak dah ajar suh cap budget tadi kan ?? So budget adalah 2mil saja, walaupun bole je bayor 250rb tu. Tapi, negotiate. Ini harga lace sahaja, tak masuk lining.

Lining hakak another 80rb per meter, lining agak tebal sebab sekali utk baju melayu boipren I. Memang puas hati, sebab that kind of material hakak penah beli kat Jakel for RM68 per meter. Ni sebab nak kaler ivory punyer pasal. Ade je cheaper lining, ranging 30rb to 45rb. Tapi xdo kaler hakak nak. Haha.

FYI, bridal lace kat ground floor & naik balik level 2 carik lining.

Masa hakak full on bridezilla mood gigih pilih lining baju nikah ni lah pak Bhim paksa makan. So die biarkan lah kami menjamu selera kat level 1, tempat display border lace. Haha, we spend our own sweet time enjoying our lunch. Mase ni lah baru ingat nak reply whatsapp, update gambar pada pihak2 yg terlibat dan sebagainya.

My SA masih lagi sebok potong kain while we're having lunch. Sebab those baru sampai dr store then only she can cut and pack. About half an hour to 40 mins like that she came and check on us, tanya bil nak buat satu je ke nak separate. Even tho satu bil, die tak muat so tetap jadik 2 helai. Tak masuk satu lagi invois sebab Monday baru bole ambik stock kat outlet lain.

Sebab kan satin yg kene tunggu monday tu, so pak Bhim promised to send the materials to my room. So ape lagi, tinggal lah segala material kat kedai sampai Monday. Hiks. BTW, they delivered at zero cost. Yay to me, haha.

So paham tak ape yg cuba hakak sampaikan di sini ?? Haha. Kalau setakat beli kain baju nikah 1.2juta, baju bride's maid 3 pasang. Tu pun satin paling murah, jangan la buat naya kat SA/pak Bhim mintak mcm2. I have this super special treatment sebab the amount I spent. Be rational, beli 3 pasang. Nego mcm nak giler, pastu mintak free gift. Memang mintak kene sumpah k, please jangan buat pangai gitu.

Tips 7: Last but not least, hakak baik hati plak nak share harga pembelian by meter (reasonable pada sekitar June 2017):

Bride's Maid

Satin - 17k per meter

Tulle - 10k per meter

Semi Perancis/Prada - 100k per meter

Bride's Family (Ladies)

Cavalli - 28k per meter

Perancis (Panel - 2.5m) - 280k per panel

Bride's Family (Gents)

Cavalli - 28k per meter

Groom's Family (Ladies)

Cavalli - 28k per meter

Lace (Tanah Abang) - 100k per meter

Groom's Family (Gents)

Cotton - 38k per meter

Ingin hakak ingatkan sekali lagi, ini adalah price hakak utk sekian bnyk nyer org hakak beli kan kain. Over 200 meters of mixed material, last year pun hakak tak dapat harga cotton mcm tu. Last year hakak beli 2-3 org punya baju cotton was 50-60rb per meter. 

Tips 8: Orang tua2 selalu cakap, ukur baju di badan sendiri. Yg ni memang 100% betul, sebab yang kawen tu adalah kau dan bukan lah mak kau mahupun kawan sekolah mereka. Tak penah lagi la org ckp, ukur lebar mahupun tebal poket bawah baju melayu abah kau. Org bole ckp, beli lah chiffon. Cantik kain die, berat. Beza 10rb je, tapi beza 10rb tu bila dah 30 meter dah 100 ringgit okay. Tu baru satu material, lining lagi. Buat nyer kau budget2 20k, tapi kaler takde. Yg ade kaler cavalli je, pastu SA bagi kau price 30k tak nak turun dah. 

Hakak agree ambik lace bride's maids sampai 100k tu pun sebab total jadik still within budget. Originally allocate 50k je semeter utk lace bride's maids, 20k per meter for chiffon & 30k per meter for cavalli. Tulle to replace chiffon tu end up same amount 40k, instead of cavalli hakak ambik satin. So for 3.5 meter just cost 59.5k instead of 112k for 4 meter cavalli.

Yg paling penting skali ialah utk well planned your trip. Ketahui limit budget anda, jangan sampai gi Jakarta tapi memeruk duk dlm bilik makan pop mee sebab nak makan soto ayam pun budget tak cukup. Lepas tu kalau setakat nak beli 10 pasang tu, agak tak berbaloi nak gi Jakarta semata2. Or else, you can arrange a day trip kalau nak jimat. Subuh2 naik flight, landing je lincah gi Pasar Mayestik. Malam ambik flight balik. Total damaged 1k include flight ticket, dapat material much better than package rm1200 kat Jakel.

And last but not least, kene consider total luggage weight utk bawak balik barangan anda. Kalau tak nanti nangis lah dik, kotak kene tinggal kat Jakarta sebab dah tak bole nak check in. Hari tu hakak nyer kotak 20 kilo nyaris2 ditinggalkan begitu saje kat airport. Naseb critical thinking skill masih berfungsi dengan baik di saat terkejar2 buka puasa & boarding around 8 pm. Last2 tak jadik terbang, haha. Yang tu lain kali lah hakak cerita, masa sangat mencemburui ni.

Tips 9: Jangan turun KLIA opsss

Padang Trip - 'The' Shopping

As mentioned in my previous post, korang gi Padang carik kain sulam and telekung. Murah kate nyer, and please be aware that post ini adalah untuk kondem satu kedai made famous by a Malaysian blog. And that only one shop. Kalau korang Google 'kain sulam Bukittinggi Padang', this particular shop is most famous search result. And maybe because of that they are playing this price game, price semua displayed in RM okay. How bad it was ?? Enuf to made me made up my mind not to return to this city again.

Actually, my trip here to Padang is only for research. Nak survey harga, since my last trip to Jakarta they told me all those materials came in from Bukittinggi. I went to Pasar Atas first, but the price was ridiculous. Same shit, bukak harga 250k. When I said, ni kat Tanah Abang baru 200. Yg bukak harga 400k pun bole terus turun 200 lah. 

But this one guy dekat Pasar Atas offer a reasonable price. You should try check his booth. And this is definitely not the only shop I wanna condemn, this is the one I recommended.

So upon my failed hunting at Pasar Atas, I directly hire a cab to the most famous emboidery shop in Bukittinggi - Putri Minang. Determined to made my trip worth, I must go to these kind of individual shops. Since all the pasar's are too mainstream. 

So first I aim for kain sulam, and their price is beyond ridiculous. Lagi tak masuk akal dari Pasar Atas. Those old designs, aku dah beli dari 2011 they're selling for almost the same price I bought in Malaysia. Because of the ridiculous price, I just walk off the kain sulam area and went for telekung lah. And it was handled by 2 different girls both kain sulam and telekung, maybe you will know where I'm heading with this. 

When the kain sulam girl saw my selected items dah juta2, die bole dtg eh. Siap bawak contoh, 'kain sulam tak nak ke kak' ?? And again, I said NO NO NO. She tried to reduce the price. But still, lost my interest since the design was outdated. That's not the worst part.

So, during tawar menawar. The sales girl mcm biase la, 'akak ambik tiga saya bagi 280'. Aku bukan ambik 3 ok, aku ambik 5. Sampai kaunter, tokey tulis 330. Actually die nak kira in RM. I just say 'No, rupiah'. Then for another type, she said it's 39ringgit. He charged me 130k per piece, mintak 120 pun die tanak bagi. Actually it's not even 129k kalau convert, but that shop memang beyond limit. To that extend aku ckp kat mamat tulis receipt kat kaunter tu, 'just do whatever you want'. Argument was just waste of time at this point.

I was so mad, sampai aku campak lah duit tu. And you know what ?? Die bole nak bagi aku diskaun 50k. I seriously tell him this to his face, "No, I don't want your 50k. Take it". And I walked out. Sampai hotel driver taxi pun xberani nak paw because he saw me pissed earlier. This is not 'tabur pasir' dlm periuk nasik sesiapa, please. This is about 'customer always right', which in Putri Minang means 'customer have no rights'. 

So please, Putri Minang is not a best place to shop in Bukittinggi. I might be wrong, if you have a different experience please share your comment. So readers can justify. If you ask me ?? I will never retun back to this city. Seriously the price in Bandung is way cheaper. I requested the driver to take me back to the hotel, actually I wanted to go to Pasar Aur Kuning. But trust me, I had bad experience in 2 places. Why should I go to the third one.

Btw, the cab cost me 200k return. Siap tunggu la. That's why I advice you to take the private cab during the transfer from airport if you come in group. So you don't have to pay more for transportation because the individual shops are located half way from Padang Panjang to Bukittinggi. Jam Gadang & Pasar Atas is a walking distance within the Bukittinggi proximity. 

In my opinion, always compare the price they offered dgn range of price in Malaysia. Kalau kain sulam kat Malaysia bole beli RM80, buat ape susah2 pegi Padang for 250k ?? Same goes for the telekung, sampai 330k. Kat Malaysia pun bole dapat yg cantik RM180, tu harga Jalan TAR time raya kot.

And one more thing, they claimed the telekung 'Siti Khadijah'. I was imagining it was rejected batch of Siti Khadijah. Rupe nyer die copy Siti Khadijah punya head style so tak payah pakai anak tudung bagai, but with their design of embroidery and choice of material. 

Please share with me in the comment if you have a different experience. 

Padang Trip - Airport Transfer

Padang to Bukittinggi

Seperti yang digembar-gemburkan dalam internet & blog fashion, Bukittinggi Indonesia is sensational for their fine embroidery works particularly for kain pasang dan telekung. Makanya, berduyun2 lah umat Malaysia menyimpan angan dan impian untuk menjejakkan kaki ke bumi yg majoritinya Islam ini. Here's some travel tips for those who still living the dream, like the locals always said 'biar aman mbak'.

Upon arriving at the airport, just like other airports across Indonesia especially those already famous for tourist attraction just like Bali & Lombok. They are full of con men, wether the airport transfer of all kind - shared/private transfer or the boat transfer. They will be some local guys who will get commissions for getting customers for the drivers.

In my case, I was directed to the standard shared airport transfer and offered 60k for the transfer. Somehow the guy at the counter adviced me to go for a private taxi for 400k, reason being - "taksi nya langsung ke hotel mbak, kalau transfer nya lagi berhenti di bandar". So be firm, knows the option that serve best for your trip. Kalau pegi 3org tu, better ambik private cab je. Since they will bring you straight to shopping places, request pun bole. "Nanti nyinggah di kedai ini ya pak, kemudian ke sini". They will take you for lunch definitely, at your own cost of course 😆

When I said no to the private taxi, some other guy directly offered shared transfer for 75k and I immediately said yes. Kau ckp 'ok' je, they will grab your bag and tarik pegi kete which mostly will be couple hundreds meter away. So otw there, die ckp beg kau besar la. Bayar dua seat lah. Knowing these kind of things happened very often all around Indonesia, I strictly say "NO, 100k aja". And trust me, that is not rude at all. It was a negotiation 😆. 

Somehow, the driver buat muka. Suh tambah lagi 20k, jauh lah. Jem lah. So I was generous, since I just arrived at the airport. Bagi lah, 7ringgit je kot. So total damage for my airport transfer today is 120k, feeling dah worth it abis la tu. Sekali sampai hotel, I asked them to arrange for my transfer to the airport tomorrow afternoon and guess what ?? It will only cost me 80k.

Moral of the story: get to know roughly how much the airport tranfer will cost, it's better to book online or together with the hotel booking. And please, jangan nak berkira sangat beza 7ringgit.

Kbye

Another Weird Dream

Not that weird actually, I saw my so called very recent ex doing his other gf ... Slightly before that he was with me ... So the moment I woke up, bukak insta and saw something about forgiveness ... But I refused, because I think he's being so mean ... Almost cost me another job, cut down all my connections ... My friends, my activities was all in a controlled numbers the moment I start spending time with him ...

So I was looking for a title that will match the situation, A Weird Dream catch my attention ... Really huh ?? Reading it back made me mad at myself ... Just like 2 years ago, I let things interrupt my career ... The exact word - 'Even when I'm barely knew them, then they ended up messing my work' ... And as far as I'm concerned, my work is the only thing I cared about ... Besides my family, and I do keep my job/get a better one to make them happy ...

Boifren ?? That is somebody I toss away in every 6 weeks ... At average, haih ... Often when it happened, I'll play victim ... We broke up on Tuesday, I go chop of my hair on Thursday ... On Friday, I got the urge to buy 'Why Men Marry Bitches' ... The first chapter already upsets me, masuk second chapter I'm already became annoyed ... Motif ?? It describe women mcm powerless, too stupid and only thinks about getting married ...

Every single thing the writer wrote about things girls do wrong, is actually what my ex been doing for the past 6 weeks ... He talks about commitment, he talks about 'my' biological clock ... He even talks about marriage, while I'm just there enjoying my freedom from my previous relationship ... Which traumatized enough, even when it's over its still haunting me ... And darling, that 5th June I mentioned, was figured out before you were considered ... You're just there filling the spot ...

This might sound like a cocky post to boast up my ego, but to me it's just a post to muhasabah diri ... This is what I've been doing since day one, I put myself down to be at their level ... Make them feel even, while I always have more than everyone else ... Yes, maybe I'm not as rich ... But I'm lot better in so many ways ... Education level, family ties ... My family can accommodate me anytime needed ... I live in the heart of damansara, not because my family is rich ... I have a lovely aunt who gave me a room, so I don't have to rent a room in Kampung Baru ...

I got a car which I accidently bought in 2013, at least that what I've been telling people about my imported car all these while ... Truth is ?? The hell bitch, I can freaking afford that ... My loan got approved at 1st try, no guarantor ... So why do I have to low down myself for anybody else's satisfaction ?? You have problem with my achievement ?? You gotta work bitch ... And guys, please go deal with your ego somewhere else ...

I will never put down any of my previous post upon someone else's order, that's my memory ... So its up to me if I wanna put it down, in the case of Amirul Haqim - I left my insta account on his phone ... So I can't argue on the outcome ... For now, if you can't deal with it ... Just walk away ... But I bet this is not you league anyway ... Something might just be lost in translation 😊

As I mentioned in my instagram, 'it doesn't matter how far we can go, knowing you is a blessing' ... It is blessing, now that I can finally stand up for myself ... Eliminates all the negative influences, making my life better for no one but myself ... And I'm just not the type who trash my ex, address them jantan tak guna whatsoever ... If they do me wrong, I learn from that ... If I do them wrong ?? Yeah, it's my bad ?? Hehe ... No regrets, there's nothing to loose ...

So what's the point of saying things out publicly ?? To make myself feel better ?? Not really, I wanna stop being so mean ... It is all my game since day one, as I mentioned earlier - I play victim ... The power is all on me, he's the one needed my attention ... That's why I left him two weeks ago ... Took all my things out ... Because I have all the right to choose ... Then I choose to left him again on Tuesday ... Then I gave him a taste of what my life have been without him on Saturday,  then I crushed him again on Sunday ...

Why ?? I can handle everything well ... I can deal with the fact he's out with the other gf watching movie, and salam cium tangan before I left ... But the other gf ?? I crushed her in less than 2hrs with my public instagram profile ... Because the power is all in my hand, I know how powerful my personality are ... And I know how crazy she went over social media ... For that I'm sorry ... I'm truly sorry, for her ...

I can move on at any time, I can move on on Thursday ... I can be completely move on on Saturday ... But I choose to bully them, I do one thing ... And she follows thru as I planned ... So I'm going to stop now ... Stop being so mean, because my pain is nothing compares to hers ... I can find another him, I can find someone better from him ... Whatever we did was hurtful enough, so I'll end everything here ...

So I blocked them both from seeing my pictures ... I hope it helped her stop the pain ...

Journey of bakebyheart: Blood, Sweat & Tears

Most of you might already knew that I have a good hand in baking, cupcakes is my specialty ... An engineer by profession, baking is my hobby ... I'm passionate about both, construction makes me excited about the future ... How it's going to be in 10 years, thrilled about learning new things ... New construction methods & new development projects around the country ... Baking made me happy when I deliver good food to people around me ... Amirul will be doped whenever I send him a box of cupcakes, my little brother can finish 10 pieces from a batch I bake ... & of course my tray/tupperware licin bile bawak pegi office ... That will make me happy by end of the day walaupun xtido tunggu the batter to be finish baked ...

I got this idea when I first visit my friend's booth for KL Calling at Rasta TTDI one fine Sunday ... The concept was - extra activity on weekends, which is baking & start being rich ... So I spent 1k ++ of my salary on May on ingredients for hundreds of cupcakes ... That includes the fee I paid to join the weekend bazaar by sohobazaar ... Please do, follow them kalau anda mahu berjinak2 dgn dunia perniagaan ... Reason been - mostly kite bukan lah anak tan sri yg bole campak 20k over Sunday morning chit chat dgn pesanan, "Nah, gi buat modal meniaga ... Bisness elok2, xcukup bagitau" ...

I baked over 200 cupcakes excitedly for my 1st project ... 1st day, syahdu ... Tade org dtg, vendors lain ckp sebab cuti skolah ... Org tade kat KL ... 2nd day xputus harapan lagi, baked another 2batches of carrot cupcakes ... Result - lagi syahdu dr day 1 ... But adik cherry bagi support, quote "Try, try & try again" ... Then I joined another weekend bazaar in June, same jugak end result die ... Syahdu ... Tahap ape kesyahduan itu ?? Modal tapak pun xdpt balik - yes, that's true ... Base on true story, bukan fiction ...

Kalau korang tanye my opinion, I'll say buat research before you jump into anything ... Research the market place, research the organiser ... Do ask vendors ni, how was the crowd ... How much they're willing to spend, some vendors xkisah to share how much they can get over the weekend ... So just ask, you will never know unless u try ... Bukan lah nak kondem organiser, but masing2 jage periuk nasik masing2 ... Kalau awak rugi, that's totally ur problem ... So check ur organiser, bape banyak die punyer followers ... That's very important sebab nak tarik crowd, nak tau how powerful they are in making people come to their event ...

For example, biler dorang buat event carboot sale kat Istana Negara ... Ade Nora Danish bagai turun 'sendiri' jual karipap ... Itu prove organizer tu power bole convinced Nora Danish jual karipap kat event die ... Bukan acah2 promote artis ini dan itu will be there dekat ur event ... Tapi instagram clearly updet artis tersebut kat oversea, & hanya makcik die dtg tunggu booth ... Jgn tipu vendors dan ur followers begitu ... Xbaik ... Confusing people with insufficient information ...

I'm not saying that instagram followers xmembantu ape2, but work the math with me guys ... Example - awak nak beli baju ala2 padini inspired ni online ... Online rm40 + sepuluh ringgit delivery ... Awak duduk sungai buloh ... Tibe2 this weekend vendor tu join bazaar kat The Strand, Kota Damansara ... Sila pilih antara dua jawapan di bawah utk most likely conversation antara anda dan yg tersayang pagi2 buta hari sabtu itu:
A: "B, kite pegi the strand lah ... I nak beli baju yg I tunjuk kat u dlm insta smalam"
B: "Sayang kite pegi Curve je lah senang, I nak beli karipap ikea pastu kite gi tgk wayang" ... Dgn pantas anda jawap ok ...
*B seharus nya panggilan kepada c bf, & sayang itu adalah anda - perempuan literally ~

Paham tak ape yg cuba saya sampai kan ?? Or I lost you in the above paragraph ?? Hehe ... My point is - bazaar bukan lah pilihan ideal utk golongan muda remaja meluangkan masa bersama rakan sebaya di hujung minggu ... It's always cheer me up when I can put together a proper malay sentence dramatically, lol ... Sila relate kepada pesanan saya dlm paragraph ke-empat tadi ... Research your target market ... Location bazaar adalah crucial & credibility organiser anda penting utk draw people to your location xkesah ceruk mana pun ia ...

Penah satu hari ni, sebijik cupcakes pun xjual ... Itu sgt lah menduka cita kan, because it's not about the money ... Tapi anda akan down, sebab penat dtg setup bagai ... Like for me, frust wooo satu mlm tak tido godek cupcakes ... Sebab tu before pegi bazaar, pegi makan nasik lemak kat the village park ... So when I went back tired in the afternoon, ade one thing to cherish by the end of the day ...

I'm broke like hell now, but no regret ... I will never know if I never try, I won't be able to share this with you guys if I'm not willing to take the risk ... Rite now still have the courage to fight, lepas raye ni sambung berjuang ... Tapi expectation will be different, no more trays & boxes of cupcakes ... Each flavor will bake 1batch only ... I'll bait for bigger fish ... Go large on marketing & advertising, not expecting the crowd to buy boxes of cupcakes ... But to order later, bigger amount of course ...

This is my journey, even makan nasik dgn sayur & kentang everyday sebab takut tak cukup duit for chicken or ikan kicap ... Even kene jerit, "brape sen lah untung u buat cupcakes", even people call you riak for having dream ... This is my baby, yg rugi itu saya ... Yang sampai rumah 8pm sebab takde duit nak bayar toll itu saya ... Yg tak servis itu kereta saya, so be it ... I don't mind if u walk away from me now, kalau awak nak ludah muka saya sekali pun ... Saya harap kalau Tuhan mudah kan jalan saya satu hari nanti, & hopefully saya tak lupa dr mana semua tu dtg ...

I'll be sharing my experience from time to time, for you out there - if u're passionate about something, break a leg ... Take the risk, but don't forget to be smart ... A friend I know recently spent 30k on his business, maybe there have to be another 29 months suffering for me ... May Allah bless me thru the way, insyaAllah ...

This is Manjung: Work Hard, Play Hard

This is the job that I decline back in 2012, korang bole refer entry Suratan atau Kebetulan & Loosing Your Values ... About a year later, I gave the HR department a call ... Notify them that I'm available to join them now ... The HR lady trus arrange for an appointment the day after, somehow I have to attend another session of interview sebab the head of planning department yg handle technical staff tade ... I've already forgot when was that last interview, I think that was before raya ... Yeahhh, sebab I attended a course in the office mase bulan puasa ... They offered me a drink, but I declined sebab respecting Ramadhan walaupun saye xpuase ... :D

During the last interview, that was when I had a crush on my boss ... Haha, a year ago mamat tu ntah baru balik dr site mane kan ... Selekeh je, now dah boss duk attend meeting tu la bole pakai smart2 kot ... Haha ... The next day mase attend the training course, I googled him & found out that he's married ... Then everything stops there, you guys know I had a strong crappy policy on married guys kan ?? & I still hold on to that very principle strongly, will never ruin someone's marriage ... Chewahhh ...

But ade jugak la fikiran jahat, 'will it change anything if I join them last year' ?? 'Did I made the move a year too late' ?? Jawapan nya ialah tidak !!! Memang boss aku dah kawen, xde effect pun saye join bile ... Last year when I'm about to join tu, he's having his first born ... Paragraph ini wujud semata2 mengelak kan rasa hipokrit dlm diri, kekkekkekeekkeke ...

Interview seblom raye, was waiting for their respond kengkonon nak kene tender resignation kan ... This part I will explain in my next entry why the word kenkonon tu even existed ... After raye also dorang diam je, sampai putus harapan la tunggu dorang offer ... After my brother's reception on end of September pun senyap lagi, mase tu still menaruh harapan la since I declared I'll be available by October ... Sampai kene carik other option to survive, sewa rumah pun dah delay sampai a month in stead of 1-2 weeks on August & September ...

Sampai ... 17th of October, I received a phone call ... Tanye biler free, I said I'm available immediately ... Trus kene gi kj, sign appointment letter ... Esok kene gi Manjung dgn boss ... Aku ni seronot sgt dpt keje, gi celebrate 'farewell' party la sgt ... Pagi bgn2 je dah 8stengah ... So I missed my first ever site visit, & late for my 1st day ... Sabtu masuk office jumpe boss, trus sign allocation letter kene hantar to Manjung ... 

Mase tu memang xpikir ape, boipren sumer ku tolak ke tepi ... Dlm kepale otak cume ade satu bende, nak balik umah pack barang ... Mengikut perjanjian asal, kene duduk Manjung 3weeks je ... Tu yg mcm eksaited je kan, keng konon weekend je nak gi Pangkor la ... 3weeks later ?? Here I am, still in Manjung ... Extended for another month, katenyer ...

None of the introduction above related to my main point in this post, but at least I give you guys an interesting start kan ?? Hihi ... So, same thing happened this year ... As I just joined the company, dpt another offer ... Rm 650 extra from my current salary, kau ade ?? Hehe ... But I declined atas bnyk faktor ... & bnyk jugak reference & good advice from people around me ...

Sebagai contoh, my father pun advice - 'more money normally come with more responsibilities, less hours for yourself' ... And someone I just knew share a very good advice - 'it's a test either you're greedy or being thankful' ... 

This year's choice not as stressful as last year's decision that I made ... Reason being - I always feel this job was meant for me ... Imagine, I went for 4 interviews before I finally join them ... & after a year, masih lagi rezeki utk saya ... Complete with penantian 2bulan for the job offer, fair & square la with the fact that I turned down their offer last year kan ?? Heh ...

As I claimed this was meant for me, it's not that easy for me to take care of it actually ... Kadang2 kite rase, 'sape la nak dengki, bukan bnyk pun gaji saye kalau nak banding dgn pengarah cawangan jalan JKR daerah Manjung' ... Tapi kite berurusan dgn manusia, ade manusia yg xpuas hati dgn semua bende ... Jadi kalau die dah nak dengki, die tetap akan dengki jugak walaupun kelebihan tu sebesar zarah ...

So nak kire mcm mane ?? Die tabur pasir kat rezeki awak, pastu awak tabur pasir balik kat die ?? Tu sebenar nyer terpulang pd individu terbabit ... Mcm saye, saye pk die ade anak ... Tinggal anak die kat rumah, sebab nak keje tolong suami ... Sampai hati tak kau ?? Kalau aku memang xsampai dik !!!

Question - "kenape awak nak pk pasal die, die pk pasal awak ke" ?? "Die tak pk ke, mcm mane awak rase kalau org buat mcm tu kat die" ?? Ok, kalau aku tambah lagi 1 soalan ia akan jadik menambah2 ... Haha ... So, jawapan - kan saya dah ckp tadi ... Tu lumrah manusia ... 

Saya pakai swift, die pakai myvi ... Die dengki la, walaupun instalment swift tu bole kaver pampers anak die sebulan + instalment myvi ... Kalau saye kene beli pampers ngan susu anak mcm die, mungkin saye tak mampu bayar swift ... Owh, & die xtau pun swift tu dah sangkut sebulan lebih ... Haha ...

Saya ade iPad + nokia 80 ringgit, die ade samsung ... Die tetap nak dengki, walaupun iPad tu sebenar nyer org sedekah je kat I ... Sebab susah itu org tak nampak, biler nampak org lain lebih ... Kite akan jealous ... Biler saye balik lunch bersama paper cup starbucks tu, org tak kan tau saye hulur reward card kat kaunter sambil berkata dlm key paling rendah - "dik, tolong check ... Ade free drinks tak, kalau ade saye nak redeem" ...

Nampak tak permainan nyer di situ ?? Saye penah pegi curve without spending a single cent ... Parking depan maybank - free ... Pastu pegi makan kat marche ... Bnyk duit mak makan kat marche ?? Memang takde, that was balance credit I've top up in few months ... Just swipe membership, 1sen pun xbayar ... :)

Got what I'm trying to say ?? Org tak kan tau susah kita, or maybe they know ... But they won't care that much ... Plus, I don't think people enjoy your story during hard time that much kan ?? They appreciate the the fancy food photos on instagram more, or the beautiful pictures of your vacation on private resort rather than the snap shot of balance in your acc ... Yelah, manade org upload gambar transfer duit bayar hutang ke hape kan ?? Sebok upload gambar duit berkepuk2, letak kat fb ... Motif ?? Tatau ... Padahal pegang duit tu 5mins je, boss suruh tolong cash kan duit nak bayar gaji bangla T_T ...

And another thing, biler kite terlalu obsess cerita/ambil tahu pasal org ... Awak jadik paranoid, biler nampak org discuss je ... Awak akan perasan mcm org discuss pasal awak, padahal tade ape pun ... Sebab that's what you do behind other's back, so you expect people's doing the same thing as you do ... 

Utk kesekian kali nya, it's a time utk muhasabah diri sebenar nyer ... Maybe saye pun xbole berterusan begini, open myself to the possibility utk org dengki ... But how low shud I put myself down in order to please people ?? It's your call, draw your own limit ... :) Boss saye slalu ckp, 'stay positive' ... Always think positive about others, world will be a better place tomorrow with one less negative thought in the morning ...

Ps: for the first time ever in my whole life, I felt nothing when someone confront me ... Maybe because I've already knew what's going on, so I'm well aware of what she's capable of ... :D

Travel Writer

Hello !!!

Hari ni xkluar lunch, atas beberape sebab ... Antaranya, post traumatic effect dr 12jam focus buat report + sakit tengkok salah tidor mlm tadi ... Atau lebih tepat lagi, menyampah nak be around double faces b!+c#es yg tak habes2 buat unpaid report to my superior ... Nanti I'll explain further on that, but most reliable reason was that - baru je lepas makan nasik lemak kul seblas tadi ... Haha, nampak tak dramatic effect di situ ?? Hehe ...

Stat dah jatuh to almost half, since 4 bulan yg lepas ... Saye baru prasan, hihi ... Tapi memang dah lame giler tak update pun ... Now my life have been put back together, so korang akan prasan perubahan dr segi routine kehidupan seharian di situ ... Heh ... Sorry to encik Fifiey, kalau terase cam saye makin blagak whatsoever ... Aku memang camni kalau dah start keje, ;p ...

Kalau korang prasan my updates lately, are mostly about my island vacation ... Island hopping kat KK, my yearly trip to Perhentian ... And rite now, sebenar nyer saye tak kluar lunch sebab eksaited searching pasal Pulau Tioman ... Hadooo ...

This had bring me to the thought - am I going to change my blog direction into travel writing ??
Jawapan: Maybe not la, it's just something interesting I love to do now ... Since mostly I'll spend my free time doing that, so that will be the most interesting topic for me to share will you guys la kan ??

I still have other things which are not related to travelling that I found interesting to share, such as how I survive 6months unemployment ... My new job, which is in Manjung ... Every week bole pegi Pangkor, & related to travel ?? Haha, it's just happened to be that my new job is near to a vacation spot ... Xpenah pegi pun Pangkor tu sepanjang 3weeks spent here ...

I better go now, before I exposed my bloging activities to unwanted stalkers ... Hihi, have a great week ahead guys ~

This is Manjung: Dobi

#marahpunyepasal

I have a lot of other things to do actually, before the lunch break ends ... Tapi sebab dah panas hati sgt dgn dobi kat depan spital manjung tu, I took the trouble to write this & put aside whatever I'm doing ...

Dr smalam act dah xpuas hati, since he's the one mentioned about the express service ... Sebab I ckp, "nak balik kl ptg" ... So he suggested, qouted - "then take the express service la" ... He charged me extra 50% on that, so instead 10ringgit ... I have to pay RM15 for a normal laundry service ... Sumpah cekik darah !!! 

Considering I nak balik kl, maybe I'm going to need a few item from that laundry basket ... Redha je la bayar that extra 5ringgit ... Padahal it's possible je for him to do it in 24hrs ... Let say basuh sejam, sejam lagi dah kering kot ?? Die bagi alsan, 'deepavali' ... Dorang nak raye, so my laundry got pushed back ?? 

This afternoon, i memang xbole tahan ... Mase pick up tadi, sempat la die buat PR ... Termakan gak la sikit, until ... I reached home & unpack ... I cannot tell either my clothes is dry or still wet, mcm still bole rase lembap2 on the surface ... Tapi dah siap lipat bagai ... 

Memang aku pantang giler baju lembap2 ni, if I'm the one doing the laundry ... Everything must came out crispy, kalau camtu serbis ... Xyah bukak dobi la, harap PR je ... Tapi sebakul org maki, baik xpayah ... 

Will never send my laundry there again, after this rela balik buat sendiri kat kl je ... Or else, try to find another dobi ... Tibe2 terlihat my jeans, maybe shud check that ... Kang xpasal2 balik next week bau kepam je ... God bless you la pakcik ...

Till then, nanti I'll update a few other interesting topic under This is Manjung ... :D :D :D

Perhentian 2.0

Sila rujuk entry Pulau Perhentian: Stress Free Weekend & Pre Perhentian untuk pemahaman serta penghayatan lebih mendalam berhubung post ini ... Pagi2 dah poyo, bagi ayat Kertas 2 SPM ... Heheh ... 

Actually tak berape eksaited nak post about it, since it's a trip yang sungguh menguji kesabaran ... Let's be nice and put it in proper words ... This time around, the vacation jadik a trip that made you need another trip ... If you know what I mean ... Lets not emphasis on that ... I'll just share you the few important points, & try not to includes too much details ... Hehe ...

We started the journey from my house at 2am, this time around I ade driver ... Thanks to encik Zaim for the pleasant ride ... Departed from Bangi at 2am, picked up Suraya kat Kelana Jaya around 3am ... Then baru ambek Linda kat Damansara Perdana around 4am & wait for another car kat Gombak around 5am ...

Was trying to get a light breakfast kat Mc Donald's, but decided to go Genting Sempah instead ... Unfortunately Mc D kat Genting Sempah tutup pulak on that very day, not just on that very day I think ... Sampai skarang mek D tu tak bukak2 lagi ... So we just stop for coffee kat Petronas right before tol Bentong, then drive straight away to Kerteh ... Sebab nak singgah ambek my tv from my colleague, and spent a night in Kuala Terengganu ...

We reached Kerteh around 8am, sempat la pegi breakfast kat jalan pegi airport and do last minute shopping kat Mesra Mall ... Depart from Kerteh around 11am, & reach KT by noon ... Nothing much we do in KT, besides souvenir shopping at Pasar Payang late afternoon ... Karaoke with my old friends from KT, then lepak2 sambil tahan mata yg terbuka luas ... Somehow otak dah stop working ... Yes, I'm a walking zombie in KT all afternoon ... Tak tido 36 ?? Or 48hrs in a row ...

I promised not to include too many details aite ?? Haha, still intro dah ntah bape paragraph ... Ntah pape, ok ... Erase all the memory, lemme bring you to the moment we arrived at Jetty Kuala Besut ... Arrived early since departed from KT right before 7am, gathed around a travel agency shop right in front the bus station ... Around noon then baru we leave for the island, reach there ... Makan nasik dagang the organizer tapau from Kuala Besut, then settled down in the room ...

Memang batak pun tgk air, 1pm kitorang dah terjun laut & I already got tanned ... Around 4pm gitu, this beach boy offer gi snorkelling for free ... Just pay the equipment rental, so it only cost us rm10 /person ... After snorkelling go back to the room & get ready for dinner ...

Dinner was so2 la, the thing about going in with the package is that you have to rush to catch up the dinner time ... So agak merimaskan actually ... Since u have to fix ur time to go back to the room & get ready, then there'll be a few free hours before the party mood kick in ...

Then it's party time !!! Dr kl, drive sampai sempadan Terengganu/Kelantan ... Jauh2 tu, last2 jumpe org kl jugak ... Org klang la, even my friend duduk Sungai Buloh ... Tiba2 ade lembaga berdiri tegak depan muka, tanya "reysha, ape kau buat kat cni" ... My gosh seriyesly, mcm dah tade tempat lain nak jumpe ...

Lepas party balik tido, the next morning breakfast on our own ... Not provided in the package, then go snorkelling ... Again ?? Haha ... This time included in the package la, spent the whole afternoon travelling by the boat ... Balik lepak coral bay, chilling kat Ombak ... Masing2 muka jem je, sebab dah penat snorkelling ...

Then it's party again, but this time just chilling ... Sebab energy level masing2 dah low ... Nothing much to say, lepas lepak2 balik tido ... Esok bgn pagi2 lepas gian mandi laut lagi, then it's time to go ... I've erased all the memories on the way back, seriyesly noting to say ... Sebab tak best langsung ...

Overall, for this trip ?? 2stars over 5, maybe ?? It's really a test for my ego la actually, maybe because I'm not in charge ?? Since I'm not the organizer, & it's not my car we're driving ... But I'm just being me, aku ckp sekali kau tanak dgr ... Then it's better for me to save my advice for someone who's going to make benefit out of it kan ??

I've created a discomfort situation within a friends I known for quite sometimes, for a friend who I just met for a couple weeks ... You should know where you stand, so lemme be clear that I have no intention to fix the few weeks friendship ... So stop trying to fix things, hashtag sila terasa ... 

Ok, ayat semakin poyo ... Time to go, kbye ...

Ps: malas nak carik gambar, how clear should I be about my feelings on this very trip ?? Haha ...

A Weird Dream

Last nite was really strange, it was like a wrap up of a few dreams I had before ... Somehow includes everything happened to me recently ... The best part, I can remember the sequel ... Since normally mimpi ni all over the place ...

It started with a visit to RI's place, or maybe it started be4 that but that's the most I can remember ... RI's place mcm overly occupied, something like there are friends visiting & stuff ... Somehow his mum was there, & feel like a reality tv to please his mum ... The best part was that, I'm competing !!! With another girl I recognize so well in that dream, somehow I forgot the moment I woke up ... U know I'm not good in kissing S (even in my dreams, lol), so upon frustration of almost losing I left the house & went to a place across the road ...

The place I knew well, sebab been reappears in my dreams for a few times already ... It's a room that I always spent my time in, somehow it wasn't mine ... But I think I dreamed of the place earlier before all these dreams, since I got the idea of my missing keys for the drawer in the office was left in there ... Somehow I have to break into that room ...

So the place got commercialized, & I met someone I knew by the character ... But her figure was totally different, she's a mutual friend to someone who owns the room if I'm not mistaken ... Something like the room was turned into a shop, & I saw a glimpse of my boss at the counter ... From my previous job of course ... Somehow I still can't related the girl to anybody in my present ...

Upon not knowing her very well, I still follow her around on a crazy ride ... Then she left me on the side of the road, I have to walk a few blocks to get back to RI's place ... Owh, I was giving her direction to Seri Kembangan since her next destination is Mines ... Seriyes, memang ntah pape mimpi ni ... Then, I met KB ... It was a casual meeting like our usual hangouts, until I saw Senawang 2 & Senawang 3 standing around me while I'm trying to run away from KB ...

Senawang 2 & 3 ni are my bf's best friends dr sekolah ... So from that point, I just got escorted back to a place I'll never know sebab we never reach there & my mentally retarded brother dah jerit2 suruh bangun ... Somehow before it ends, we went to a shop to fetch my sister ... Yeah, adik cherry works in a shop ... A fashion designer's clothing line if I'm not mistaken ... Haha, it's getting more funny as I wrote I down ...

No need more elaboration on the dream, let's go to translation ...

1st Paragraph
It will never work out between me & my Remi Ishak (bukan the real Remy Ishak ye girls, don't worry about that) since obviously there is/was/always be another girl ...

2nd Paragraph
There was something that wasn't mine, somehow I kept using for my own good ... I really think this is job related ...

3rd Paragraph
Utk menguatkan lagi hujah saya dlm perenggan ke-2, I mentioned about that place got commercialized kan ?? That I lost my access to ... So I lost my job recently, lost all the privilege ... & a glimpse of my boss, that's I haven't figure out the purpose of his image popping out ... Hehe ...

4th Paragraph
I think that girl represent all the substance interrupting me along the way in my career, I let them in ... Even when I'm barely knew them, then they ended up messing my work ... Financial & stuff ...

5th Paragraph
Of course it's about my beloved en. Nasir, very protective & I'm well taken care ... Pasal adik cherry & fashion designing tu, agak merepek ok ... Let's just go design a building, okay ??

Huhu, so much for a long dream in the weekend that give me the rush to write on Sunday morning ... Not even my crazy brother manage to interrupt wif his desperate urge to get my response on whatever he's talking about ... I know he really loves my response, I just don't feel like sharing my ideas just to be undermine ...

Time to go, Sunday's breakfast are downstairs waiting ... Happy Sunday !!!

Breathe: Part III - Final

I had trouble sleeping ... Haha, giler tipu ... I just got off the phone wif Amirul actually, we go down to every details where things went wrong ... It's a process to forgive, I'm well aware ... But I'm not going back there ... I just can't, sebab the damaged is too big ... Far gone broken to be fixed ... Some of you from my Facebook might already know that I'm wif someone else now ... Yes, I'm going crazy over en. Naseer Hassan ... & Amirul Haqim is a history now ...

Let's put that aside, since it wasn't the main highlight for this entry ... So upon all those dramas at work, they let me go at the end of the day ... Memang la nak sumpah everyone who ambek share to destroy my career, but I think I dah ikhlas kan almost 80% ... Tipu la if I tell you guys that I'm fine wif someone causing me to loose my job kan, as a human ... I still got kelemahan untuk b'prasangka toward someone else ... For now, I keep telling myself - 'rezeki saya kat situ dah takde' ... Trying to convince my mum wif that as well, & not holding grudge towards anyone ...

Yes, it's office politics that get me unemployed ... But look into the bright sight ... I'll get the chance to do what I love to do, which is being excellent on what I can do best ... At this point I won't say that I'm good with reinforced concrete design, but I'm going to learn ... Make myself an expert, & be the goddess of RC design ... Which I can't do during my previous employment ... Maybe a year ago was a sat back, but let's put that behind and focus on the future ... Yes, this new job opportunity is scary ... But let's be positive and give myself more credits, I can do this ... Just like I can do well in QAQC back then in 2010, something I knew nothing about when I joined the consultant firm ...

I just need to trust myself, stack up all those confidence I had for my career ... Instead of wasting it on dramas & silly matters such as the ladies nights & the competition of being the bitch that stands out ... For whom ?? Haha, giler terasa wasted for the past couple months ... Now I see what Leenda concerned about, even my party animal pal who turned his life upside down pun have seen that issue for me ... Najeeb just give me an advice cum encouragement to start my new job ... Owh, how far apart have I let myself felt into ...

I know I shud have call en. Naseer instead of Amirul, but it's just something I used to share wif Amirul ... Once I've told Amirul, 'I miss the old me, who woke up late at 6am while I shud already reach Kuantan by then ... Somehow get up & leave, trus drive to Kerteh & reached the office at 10am' ... Yeah, I still show up for work even when I'm half day late ... My en. Naseer is very strict, and awesomely intelligent ... I just can't win the conversation, because he knows better ... Let's not make that an excuse, everything will be different from this moment ...

Loosing my job is scary, not really actually ... Hehe ... But then, let's put it in decent way shall we ... :D As I said earlier, maybe bukan rezeki saya di situ ... I loose my job, somehow my car loan got approved ... I've been living a jobless life since the past couple months, somehow I got a new job right after they ended my contract a week ago ... Which mean I'm already employed ... What else should I complaint about ??

I am, very much lucky ... I removed my fibroid, but still I can produce babies ... I have no reason to be ungrateful ... Maybe because of my contract ended, that guy replacing me got himself a job ... Maybe he needed that position more than I do, maybe this new opportunity is the best for me ... Things happen for a reason, so let's cherish that ... I have another week to go unemployed, before I start my role as a Structural Engineer ... So cheers to that ...

It's not the end of the world when you felt at one point and stumble, get back up and do better ... Yes, I'm very lucky that my stumble might looks like a hiccup to someone else ... But then keep a positive attitude along the way, don't let anyone keep you down ... But if it did, find a way to make yourself better each & every single day ... Don't be like me, drown for months then just realize I shudn't stay drown ... That I actually can swim back up, heh ... Let's make that a lesson, & don't forget the hard times you went thru that might be one of the thing that helps you reach your victory ...
To a new future ~

5 Tips on Handling Break Ups

I'm definitely not the person to give advice on relationship, as I'm really sucks in relationships ... But I went thru a lot, enough to share my thoughts on how to get over the painful break up ... Since sooner the better, so these are advices to survive your heart breaking moment & bounce back stronger ... Amirul was screwing another girl in JB while I'm sitting @Starbucks somewhere in Singapore writing this draft, well 80% of these was written on that very night ... Of course I didn't knew it right away ... But man, girl's instinct is demn good ...

1. Burn Down the Memories
Bakar gambar, pulang kan baju sebakul ... Or whatever it is, is just symbolic ... Memories can't be erase, you just have to deal with it ... Look back & find the most cherish moment ... Mcm aku seronot gi Golok wif my ex, & the first thing he bought for me was a skirt ... So I put on both skirt & the t-shirt we bought in golok the whole day, trying to find out what I really feel about it ... Nangis ke, t'kenang2 ke ?? Or try to find the smell of golok on it ... But nope, in my case I felt like nothing was missing pun ... I wasn't trying to recall the memory, it's all just my emotional moments upon being left ...

2. Don't Listen to Mariah Carey
Don't ever listen to Mariah Carey's songs the few day within the break up, choose Beyonce instead ... Sebab Mariah Carey cam insisted that your ex is still in to you, 'we belong together' bla x3 & it's so not true ... While Beyonce's are normally came in strong lyrics, represent strong women ... Just bounce back & find another man, if he don't appreciate you there a lot of other guys out there that will treat you well ... Bukan being sad & sorry, stay ... Hoping that he'll come around sooner or later ...

3. Go For a Vacation
Giler typical, hahah ... But it works ... During the last break up, I went to Perhentian ... Because of the technologies nowadays, most probably your ex might know about it somehow ... Luckily for me, my ex came back swimming ... Heh, but lemme tell you it's not like what you've been told in the fairy tales ... Bukan sumer ex akan come back running, but the vacation will help ... Experience new thing, find things that you might never know before ... From my Perhentian Trip, I got to learned how to enjoy snorkeling ... White sands & turquoise water, that's the thing I've been missing until this moment ...

4. Jangan Mengurat/Get Close with Someone Related
So in the other hand, for the case where ur ex didn't come back running ... Memang la rase mcm total victory when you can land a date wif his friend, ape kah lagi best friend ... But trust me, it's not going to help ... It happened to me back then in 2012, rase mcm gud2 la kan ... Perasan hot, member tu nak layan kau ... Hahah ... But truth is, it'll keep you connected to the ex ... & most probably will not be in the way that you expected ... So start fresh, find new options ... :D

5. Get Comfortable
Get comfortable with your new life, stop comparing ... Just enjoy what u have in present, stop comparing with the past ... Mcm aku sebok thinking I'm so comfortable with what I had wif Amirul, but in a while I'll start to appreciate whatever en. Naseer did for me ... Memang in some aspect rase selesa with the ex, but all you have to do is adjust ... Maybe en. Naseer tak mcm the ex, but find the good values in your present ... Instead of holding on to your past, & taking things for granted ...

Before it's too late, start looking out for yourself & move on ... Your relationship fails for a reason, so instead of putting your efforts on fixing what's already broken ... It's might be a lot better to put your energy and focus on building a new, better improved one ... Leenda was so worried about me upon the break up, that I moved on too fast with en. Naseer ... But things are going so good so far, why do I have to bring myself back & miss it ...

Till then, enjoy the present & just let past be the past ... Owh, it's really good that I have all these drives to clean my drafts folder ... I love Sunday !!!

Sabah Trip 2012 - Day 4: Part II

Lunch at Rainforest Cafe

The plan was to eat at Daily Jln. Gaya, I was craving for the delicious butter prawn ... Unfortunately for me the shop was closed on that day ... So we just go to BB Cafe, tempat saye bawak someone on 1st date dulu ... Hehe, somehow tutup jugak ... So we went to Rainforest Cafe ...
The menu is about the same dgn Daily, so I managed to eat butter prawn jugak during my trip this time ... Hehe ... Maybe because of the decor & stuff, the food is slightly expensive than Daily ... Taste, ok la ... But Daily's better ... For 3meals & drinks for 4person, it cost around rm70 ++ ... I'm having butter prawn with white rice, & so does c kudut ... Mamak ordered the noodle soup ...

Really, I don't have any idea what else to include in this post ... Haha, semangat giler divide sampai 4posts ... Maybe sebab I review it a month later, tu la end up running out of idea of what I actually planned to say ... But I'll conclude day 2 & day 3 in 1post, sebab there's actually one particular activity we've done that 2days ... Or maybe 2, heh ... I'll update with pictures along the way yahhh ...

Later ~

Sabah Trip 2012 - Day 4: Part IV

AK 5133 (BKI - KUL)

I dunno if it's just not my day, but things don't really go well for me since early in the afternoon ... 1st it start wif packing & unpacking both my luggages depan drop baggage counters, then that guy at the counter was really annoying ... The bad breath sitting next to me, the suckie meal ... Now looking forward to see how things will go upon my landing ...

Let's go down with the details 1by1, starts wif the baggage ... Aku ni memang jenis malas nak beli extra bag on the spot, about 3days be4 departure baru aku beli ... Sebab might turn out that I don't really need it at all ... For instant, my flight from KUL to BKI ... I paid rm90 for 35kg, somehow I just use less than 25kg upon my departure ... Since mum will be going back on the 4th, so I just bought 15kg for myself the day earlier ... Ntah ape mak aku pack dlm bag tu, 1luggage already weight 13kg ++ ... So I hav to hand carry another one ...

Since it's not even 14kg, aku pun transfer la the extra handbag + perfume & a few other stuff into the luggage that will go in cargo ... Zipped, & daddie trus pegi wrap ... Sampai depan drop baggage, it's 16.1kg ... Goyang2 sket, it's dropped to 15.8 ... & that's it ... Pastu mangkuk kat kaunter tu dgn muke kerek, pegi ckp kl - "lebih 1kilo ni" ... Just sebab ic aku alamat Kajang ?? & seriyesly, 1kg ?? Siap bagi alasan, 'sampai kl nanti, they'll weight the bag again' ... Then he'll be blamed if he let in the overweight luggage without extra charges ...

U know what ?? Been hearing that excuse for years now, even since MAS was the only airline flying to KK ... I have a brother who worked wif the baggage handling contractor, there's no such thing !!! Tade keje nyer dorang nak weight that baggage again, once it done it's done ... Aku danak maki je mamat botak tu mase die ckp mcm tu, then he became rude giler & I just think it's not worth to argue wif idiot like that ... So we paid rm35 for the extra 1kg, the best part is that the rude guy siap tanye my mum - "ade 5ringgit tak" ?? Seriyes, kalau ade pun memang korang tanak bagi considering his annoying tone ...

I'll make sure I'll publish his name, kene check in the receipt since it's still wif my mum in kk ... But he's totally rude, if it was to me je xpe la ... Dgn my mum ?? That was unacceptable, plus we're the customer ... & we pay for a single freaking thing, even for the very few ml water they serve on the flight ... Even when they fucked up the system, we the customers are those who hav to bare all the cost ... I think the most common excuse is when they reschedule the flight, & u already paid for seat selection ... They'll tell you, ur selected seat was no longer available since the flight rescheduled ... Then 10ringgit tu ?? Just went down the drain, well done Tony Fernandez ...

Then we go down to the suckie in flight pre-booked meal, it's just a simple fried rice dgn ayam panggang ala sate which came in a really small portion - the chicken I mean ... Nasik standard la, muat2 bekas they serve food tu ... But totally not worth it, dgn spritzer kecik tu ... For sure you're going to buy another drink if you ordered the pre booked meal ... My advice - xpayah la order meal kalau stakat flight 2jam stengah ... Lagi la night flight, akan sengsara tahan mata tanak tido sebab mengharapkan the meal to be served ... By the time u finish eating, ade sejam je nak tido before landing ...

There's a few drama here & there mase kat departure hall actually, but better just leave it there ... Malas nak elaborate ... I'm sitting next to a bad breathe lady for 2 & a half hours, you shud know how much I prayed that she didn't yawn during my meal ... Lol ... But she eventually did, I was like ... Trying to cover my food, somehow don't wanna make it obvious that it might offend her ... Hold my breathe for 15secs, pastu continue eating my meal ... Haha ...

But that was the most torturing 2 & a half hour I've been on flight, haha ... Ok, that's exaggerating ... Hehe ... Nothing much upon arrival, just the normal super packed passenger standing around the baggage collection while they can stand somewhere else ... & my bag have made 2rounds around the conveyor before I can collect it ... Maybe sebab my last minute ticket almost cost me 1k kot, tu la aku complaint bnyk sgt ... Prasan cam naik MAS, hehe ...

That's all for now, my next trip to KK might be in either September or December ... Lexy Dewi is getting married !!! Hihi ... Dtg kl cepat sikit, bole blanje buat baju nikah kat cni ... ;p

Good day darls ~
