My Best Friends Forever

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

Allow me to introduce you to my BFF with our usual gedik pose

Yes, true indeed.  I know that it is not easy to be my friend, I can be loud, cranky, bitchy, busy, busy and busy where most of the times they have to accommodate to my time rather than theirs.  Yet my Gossip Girls still stick to my side during my thick and thin.  

We have known each other for more than 20 years and they have been a big part of my life.  Our relationship is quiet unique, I would say.  At one time, we have not seen each other for few years, everyone were so busy adjusting to our new life - being a wife, mother and career, but when we see each other, it was like the old days when we used to hang out every single day, no awkward moment at all.

I  like how wikipedia describe the value of friendship.

The value of friendship may be expressed as the benefit gained from a friend who is consistently demonstrating any of the following:

• The tendency to desire what is best for the other
• Sympathy and empathy
• Honesty, even in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth
• Mutual understanding and compassion; ability to go to each other for emotional support
• Enjoyment of each other's company
• Trust in one another
• Positively strong, deep, close reciprocity, mutuality—equal give-and-take between the two parties
• The ability to be oneself, express one's feelings and make mistakes without fear of judgement

...and they accepted you just the way you are, even a bit cuckoo like this Hantu Mak Limah wannabe

Yup, that's what we have all these years.  To my Gossip Girls, you know who you are, Thank You for being a big part of my life and putting up with my songels and cekadaks. I love you guys! (sebab aku dah puji ni nanti korang belanjer aku macadamia cheese cake caramel sundae kat Ben's)

 

As William Shakespeare put it “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”

Tata!

DPMM Gala Dinner 2012

Majlis Makan Malam Dewan Perniagaan Melayu Malaysia tahun ini diadakan di Renaissance Hotel, jadi who's who ramailah malam itu.  Paling excited adalah, sudah semestinya dengan kehadiran YBhg Tun Dr Mahathir.  Kalau dah Tun yang attend, traffic jam ke hujan lebat ke bukan menjadi masalah.

Bila nak makan ni kak??? 

Sabar dik, kita posing dulu...

Senyum kawan kawan, sungguhpun perut kita dah main lagu jazz

Posing gedik jom

KLCC and The Mall?? LOL :p

Tak sempat nak ambil gambar Tun atau penerima anugerah spt MD Boh Plantation, AIMST founder Datuk Seri Samy Vellu dan ramai lagilah. Paling best, ucapan Tun which 1 of the key thing dia sampaikan yang kita kena ambil peduli adalah orang Malaysia take it for granted kestabilan negara baik politik mahupun natural disaster. Betul juga tu, kalau dikirakan di Malaysia ni almost free from natural disasterlah, mana pernah earthquake, taufan, puting beliung ke unlike the other countries surrounds us. Bak kata Nabil, lu pikirlah sendiri!

Till then peeps.

Twilight Saga

I think most of my friends knew that I am a Twilight freak.

So when pagi ini bila ternampak seorang hamba allah bawak 2 bags full of Twilight merchandise, I was like WHAT!!???

 "apa ni?" sibuk tanya orang yang bawak barang tu, 

"oh ini merchandise untuk contest Kunang2 lah kak". 

 hmmm there it goes lah. No chance at all lah nak dapat barang barang ini, but that is for me, as for the others out there, you still have the chance to win TWILIGHT SAGA MERCHANDISE you alls!!! ada a very comfy bantal, shopping bag, t shirt. huhuhuuuuu *nanges*

So apa lagi, grab your Kunang2 magazine available at major bookstores

Me? 

 I am not eligible to enter the contest, so snapping some photos will do lah for now.  

Trying my hardest to give the gedik look as suggested by my colleagues, but lets face it, woman over 35 and gedik look just don't jive well.

SELF DAILY UPDATE

It is a busy week and i guess it will be the same next week also.  So, it looks like i have to cancel my annual leave (again) next Wednesday. Takpelah, we're not going out from KL pun, it just that I want to lepak lepak at home, relax, do some reading and catch up with my tidur.

I don't know why, but out of sudden teringat Jakarta, how I wish I am at Jakarta now.  When I think back, I can somehow relate the significant of my thinking of Jakarta with my current state, you see, ladies when they stress out all they can think of is SHOPPING, so I am thinking of Jakarta right now, which can be translated that I am a stressful woman which is in need of shopping to release her stress. Boleh? And why Jakarta out of all the cities - dah itu saja yang mampu :p

So how? shall we plan our jalan jalan? hmmm.....

Che Lynn in the office

Seperti biasa, hari isnin adalah hari sibuk sedunia :) so dari pagi tadi prepare some reports, attend meetings and discussions. Tahap kesibukkan, sampai make up tanggal lah, but i enjoy every second of it. Masa tu rasa cepat sangat kalau kita banyak kerja, cuba tak de kerja, alamak sengal jer rasanya.  Lagi satu, kalau kita selitkan elemen elemen fun, insya allah tak la rasa stress sgt kerja menimbun nih...Contohnya, tadi masa nak start meeting sementara tunggu chairman, kita posing dulu..i ambil gambar you, you ambil gambar i.

Ni gambar ehsan diambil dari BUKAN pengguna Blackberry yang berkobar kobar menyuruh saya beralih arah.  Muka mmg seperti biasa selebet, tapi hari ni extra selebet. Mata dah sembab asik nengok komputer ngan jumpa orang dari tadi. Next time kalau dah tau sibok, ingat nak lebihkan tebal bedak dgn pakai 2 lapis bulu mata palsu. Bila orang tengok rupe dah mcm tu, mesti meeting tak lama muahahahaaaa!! iyolah tu, in your dream la...

Tapi satu nak cakap, Alhamdulillah, syukur atas nikmat, rezeki yang Allah Taala bagi!! sibuk sibuk pun, kita ada kerja iye dak, nak banyak banyak komplen nanti Allah tarik balik semua kan susah. Camne nak tukar handphone baru, nak beli bulu mata palsu pon belum tentu mampu :p

Ok peeps, nak sambung keje..

QURBAN AT RUMAH KASIH HARMONI

Minggu lepas, 1 of our sister company Suria Component Manufacturing ada buat majlis qurban di rumah anak yatim, Rumah Kasih Harmoni di Paya Jaras, Sg Buloh. So mmg dekat kampung i la cikononya, unfortunately, sebab balik kampung pon ala ala setahun sekali, alamatnya mmg tak tau la nak jalan nak pegi rumah anak yatim ni.

Nasib baik ada Cik Pipot, rumah dia dkt Paya Jaras kan, geng yang lain dah sampai sana awal awal. So hantar my mom, my sister and my kid to my auntie's house, i pon pegi la amik si Afifah untuk jadi tour guide.

Sampai sampai bos sudah sambut, lepas salam salam, kita pon cabut cari tempat perlindungan

Inilah dia Afifah, single lagi tau....

 

Posing konon konon sibok 

Cara melipat tisu, camgini ye adik adik...(berpurak purak je la perempuan ni)

 

Tapi yang tak boleh tahan adalah....kambing golek...sayup sayup je khemah dia tapi impak dia mmg maksima! berkeroncong perut ni!! 

Assalamualaikum dik, akak amik gambar ye. Dalam hati sebenarnya nak tanya, kambing dah siap dik? boleh akak amik sepinggan dua??? 

Tu dia!!! 

Rasa dia mmg sehebat rupa!! sedap sehingga big bos sume dah habis makan we all tak habis habis lagi 

Meja VIP ada 3, 2 untuk lelaki, 1 untuk perempuan. Yang 2 meja tu, dah lama habis makan...we all, tak sudah sudah! siap ada hantar lagi 2 mangkok sup gear box, mak aiii!!! Bila makan, mak aiiii, sedapnya!! macam macam lauk pauk, mula la teringat kat suami, mak bapak, anak anak, adik yang tak nak ikut sekali kan...sedap tau tak!!

Sebab makan tak hengat, malam tu demam.  

Duit raya dan some goodies for budak budak comel ni 

Inilah dia Pengetua Rumah Kasih Harmoni, Encik Jamaluddin.  Baik orang nya, tengok rumah tu pun, bersih. Anak anak pun nampak terurus. Semoga Allah sentiasa mempermudahkan urusan untuk En Jamal ni, maklum bukan senang nak jaga budak budak, tambahan lagi 85 orang kesemuanya.  Insya allah adalah bahagian untuk En Jamal esok atas keikhlasan dia memjaga anak anak yatim ni.

Kalau ada yang nak membantu, ini adalah contact Rumah Kasih Harmoni  - 03 6156 3420, website www.rkh.org.my

apa pun tak boleh

This is me, today...taking my own pix, location : pantry office.  

Reason of the sengalness : I have a meeting today at Wisma Perkeso, Jalan Ampang. So ingat nak drop by jumpa kawan kawan lama, K Ros and Mas di level 12.  So after my meetings di tingkat 9, pergilah naik ke tingkat 12 dengan tak sabar sabarnya nak jumpa kengkawan lama, nak say hi hi bye bye. Just to find out that, office diorang adalah di Tingkat 12 Wisma Perkeso Jalan Tun Razak!!! bukan Jalan Ampang punye bangunan Perkeso! APA PON TAK BOLEH LA INI PEREMPUAN!!!

Jadi, atas permintaan rakan rakan suh amik gambar sendiri dan emailkan ke diorang.  Inilah hasilnya, potret perempuan yang tengah penat, lapar sebab tak makan apa pon dari pagi tadi dan hampa sebab tak dpt jumpa geng ketat dia dulu.

Moral of the story, get your facts right first la, jangan nak terjah je

Lambaian Kaabah

Ada seorang hamba allah sanggup berjalan dari Bosnia ke Mekkah untuk mengerjakan haji. Masya allah, bukan dekat tu 5,700 km merentas 5 negara, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turki, Syria dan Jordan sebelum sampai ke Arab Saudi. 314 hari dia berjalan kaki.

Memang tersentuh dan rasa macam kena tampar pipi ni pun ada bila nak dibandingkan dengan segala kesenangan dan kemudahan yang kita ada. 

Ya ALLAH ya Tuhanku, rezekikanlah kami hamba-hamba mu untuk menjejaki kaki ke Baitullah sebelum kami memejam mata, amin!!

Gang Kg Attap

Pagi ni one of my ex colleague called, tanya khabar sikit lepas tu terus jump to the real reason why he called me after soooo long kan..."Eh Lynn ko tau tak macamana nak tengok Adam dan Hawa dekat tonton?. Bini aku nak tgk la" ha???? ko ingat aku ni kaunter pertanyaan ke Jojie???

Sabar je la kawan aku sorang ni. Nasib baik kawan, dah mengharungi 'susah senang' kat opis ni, and we called ourself 'Gang Kg Attap'. 

Bila Jojie called terus mengadu dkt our other colleague, terbahak bahak dia ketawa. What's so funny la Dil?

"Ko tau tak, time ko call ni aku tgh tgk video kita untuk montage persembahan time annual dinner dulu. Aku share dkt facebook." 

So it is my pleasure to introduce you guys to my Gang Kg Attap. Have fun!

CINTA KAU DAN AKU

Waaahhh tajuk post!! kelass!! homaigod, jiwang habis.

Inilah tajuk novel yang terbaru, dah habis baca pun in 1 day, jangan ingat tak buat kerja lain ye, asik baca buku semua kerja tak jadi. Semua settle + dapat habis kan 1 buku..

My fav author usually Jude Deveraux dan Julie Garwood, ada juga layan Cecilia Ahern dan Sophie Kinsella, but of late ni semenjak Ombak Rindu, saya sudah pandai layan novel melayu lah. Rasanya dulu I ada cerita yang I ada beli novel Takdir itu Milik Aku, Siti Rosmizah, iye buku yang buat I nangis 1 malam tu..bengkak bengkak mata hoi!  Last weekend teman hubby pergi Ampang Point so singgah popular, nampak 1 buku Siti Rosmizah, Cinta Kau dan Aku....My style, kalau dah berkenan dengan corak penulisan author tu, mmg akan cari buku buku dia je la.

Memang tak rugi la beli buku ni, jalan cerita dia best, kelakar ada, sedih pon ada tapi tak la nangiiiis sepanjang baca buku tu.  2 thumbs up la dekat author dia, memang kelas!

Cerita dia pasal sorang tomboy ni Risya sibok sangat nak jadi driver, mula mula masa interview, diorang reject. Tapi lepas dia serang CEO company tu sebab mamat tu langgar dia kat lif dan tak mintak maap langsung, dia dapat jadi driver CEO tu. Oleh sebab kecomelan dia, lepas tu dia dipromote jadi bini CEO tu. Nak tau lebih, pegi beli buku ni..best!best!best!

Ingat sabtu nanti nak pegi MPH nak cari lagi buku Siti Rosmizah, 7 hari mencintaiku dengan Lafazkan Kalimah Cintamu.

Apa dah jadi ngan aku ni oooiii!! terjiwang karat pulak skang nih. Anyway, dah membaca tu hobby kan, layan je lah iye. Hmmm nak kene cari almari buku lagi 1 la gamaknya nih :)

Tata!
