Teman Terulung

Thanks Zaini for this song.

Teman Terulung - Anuar Zain

Bila bertaut senyuman
Mata berlirikan
Memancarkan keluhuran
Cerah kesederhanaanmu
Seindah kejujuranmu

Detik seia sejiwa
Terungkap setia
Tiada upaya sepi
Mekar kudup penantianku
Hadirnya teman sejati

Melangkah kita menjejak mimpi
Bahagia berdiri dengan mu disisi
Harapan kita meniti hari
Sentiasa seiring

Paling agung teman terulung
Tenunan emas sayap hidupku
Tak inginku undur bertamu
Bertakhta teguh
Ke akhir waktu

Way Back Into Love

I saw this movie "Music and Lyrics" yesterday on HBO and gosh! I loved this one song "Way back into love". The lyric is so meaningful and romantic. Well, just wanna share it here.

Way Back Into Love
Soundtrack of Music and Lyrics Movie by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

Updates

It's been quite a busy month and it's going to remain busy until the end of the month. I have alot of things to update about but just can’t find the time to do so. By the time I finish work at around 6pm, I'm either exhausted or cranky, too lazy or feeling down and unhappy. And at that time, I just wanna go home.

My work… Hm… how shall I put it? Well, it’s not like how it used to be when my lady boss was around. Back then, work is still manageable even though sometimes it can be up till your neck and you can’t even find time to pee. Still, you’re always under control over your work, things get done in an orderly manner and if there’s any issue pertaining work, we can always bring it up with my lady boss. She’s always there to back us up, help us to escalate issues, advice us on what to do and she will always drive us to exceed in whatever we do. Now, we are kinda lost and still trying to figure out things … New takeover, new management, new rules, new procedure, new system, new plan, new DB, higher quota.. Sigh! These are just some of the changes… there’s more yet to come I think. We have internal meeting every week to discuss on issues and sales plan and for all I can see, these new strategic is kinda de-motivate us but no one’s willing to voice out. Well, I just hope things will turn out to be ok and I hope I will be able to withstand these changes. It’s best if you just work with the flow instead of standing there and complaining right. We just have to learn how to work smarter… :p

Despite all these hectic times, there were some good and happy occasions. Kak Idah finally finished her 8 sessions of chemotherapy. Great!! I accompanied her last week for an appointment and checkup with her Oncologist, Dr Kevin Hew and Cardiologist, Dr Goh EL. She had the 64-slice CT scan and the doctor says it shows good positive result. It was a big relief for me when I heard it. But unfortunately, it doesn’t end here as she will have to go through her 25 session of radiotherapy which starts next week. Sigh! But it’s not as worse as the chemo. I hope! Well, we were at the hospital since morning and by the time everything to finish, it was nearly 4pm. Hm… It’s so sad to see all those people walking by with sad and worried look on their face. I can imagine the pain and suffering they have to go through. Nurse Mary from the Oncologist clinic is a very friendly lady. She told us that on that day itself, there are 5 new case of breast cancer. Just imagine…. 5 new cases per day. Sigh! Cancer is becoming a common disease nowadays.
I am praying hard for Kak Idah speed recovery and hoping the best for her. Allah saja yang tahu how much I love her.

Well, gotta go now but there will be more updates coming up. I’ll update you on this good food place kak Ton took me to. I love the ambiance and the food there. The food price is quite reasonable and the place is great to hang out and relax.

More about it in my next update. I'll post some pictures too :p

A women's Poem

To all my gurlfriends out there who are married and living the life as a wife... this poem is for you girls.

He didn't like the curry
And he didn't like my cake
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make
I didn't prepare the coffee right
He didn't like the stew
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue
isn't there anything I could do
To match his mother's shoe
Then I smiled as I saw light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight...

Like his mother used to do... ;o)

Nasi Kandar Merlin

I’ve wrote a post before about the yummy, mouth-watering Merlin Nasi Kandar. Don’t get fancy after you hear the name :p It’s not like those huge chains of Nasi Kandar restaurants we have now. It’s just an old pre-war corner house and it’s located at the end junction of Union Street. Here at Merlin, the variety of curries and dishes is limited, but each has its unique exquisite taste. The curries are tasty and you can feel the spiciness in it. Whereas at these huge chains of restaurants, there are too much variety of dishes and it all taste the same… what I would call as a ‘Packed curry powder”. I don’t favour nasi kandars that much but I would say, Merlin Restaurant is one of the best Nasi Kandar Stall in Penang. They do open for lunch too but usually the placed with be packed with office folks and bankers from Maybank, CIMB, Affin nearby.
If you really want to taste the Original Nasi Kandar prepared in the old fashioned way, then you have to try it out.

I went there yesterday for breakfast. Yes! I’m guilty. But who can resist the delicious curries and dishes served hot in the morning. I prefer to go for breakfast, there are less crowd and the curries are freshly prepared.

Sis had Nasi with Ikan bawal goreng, telur bawang and bendi... See, she can't wait until I take the photos. hehehe

I had (ehem..) Nasi with ayam masak ros, telur rebus goreng and bendi.. Really delicious. And I washed it down with a good Teh Ais :p


It's a must try.

Golden Box of Kisses

What a story to inspire your day. Thank you Khalil. I love this story so much!


The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 5-year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight for him and he became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box and placed it under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy... Merry Christmas". The father was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction, but his anger flared when he found the box was empty. He spoke to her a harsh manner “Don’t you know young lady, when you give someone a present there’s suppose to be something inside the package”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said “Oh Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it became full”. The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of that child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the golden box by his bed for all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he would open the box and take out and imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it in there.

In a real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kissed from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could ever hold.

Roti Canai Telur Mata & Ayam Masak Kicap

Well, here you go. My first update about my favourite food spot. Hehe… Take a visit to this website that has inspired me :p - http://www.malaysiabest.net

I went for breakfast yesterday at eerr… ??? (Gosh! I can’t remember the name) I know, eat where also I forgot already.. :p I'm sure most of us will usually just zoom in without looking at the name. Right? :p Anyway, this Kedai Nasi Kandar is where the old Mydin store used to be and It’s just right opposite the Kapitan Nasi Kandar Restaurant At Jalan Kapitan Keling. It’s one of my favourite breakfast spot. The Food is great and the service is good too. Maybe because we kinda go there often and the workers there actually know us already. Usually Kak Shida and I will go there for breakfast during the weekdays before I send her off to work. Hehe! Always got time. As long as I reach office before 9am :p
The restaurant is newly opened so the place is quite clean. It's spacious too and there's also an area which is closed and air conditioned.

Here’s what I had. You really must try the Ayam Masak Kicap. Very Very delicious. The kuah is thick and tasty.


And I had my Ayam Masak Kicap with Roti Canai with Telur mata
A good food to fill your stomach.
