Girl talk Part 2

Assalamualaikum!

ahak ahak ahak!!

ahaaaaaaakk!

ok ok. mars, leklu.

last few weeks, ada 2 kereta awesome ni datang rumah.

my parents and i sambut la these awesome guests. =D

these awesome guests are Asfirdaus aka Dato's family!

his mom and dad happy betul! hehe!

so Asfirdaus's family came over to our house and our families met for the first time!

jauh gak their journey to come to our place. =') 

so their purpose is to menjadi perisik. haha! joking joking.

untuk merisik.

heheee!! =p

ni berlakon je ya. =p

fatin and my-toya-looking-self presenting the ring. cantik dulang diorang hiaskan. aspidos claimed he designed it. eceeehh! =3

after discussion between our families, it's sarung cincin timeee!

woohoo!!

tokmak memang suka mencelah dalam gambar. hehehehe!!! comel tul!

after the whole discussion, we proceeded to the dining area and had some food prepared by my dear tokwan. tokwan memang best!

the men talked about serious stuff, while the ladies just talk about almost everything else. my cat ni suka menyibuk and fatin, pantang nampak my camera! hahaa!

my mom and asfirdaus's mom dah best friend too, alhamdulillah!

all in all, alhamdulillah syukur that everything went well. im glad that we're finally taking that step (eventhough this is just one small step) towards, insyallah, marriage.

and i'm sooooo glad that his family can accept me to be part of theirs. ye la, saya ni takde la perfect mana. still a lot to improve on myself. syukur.. =')

i don't think it's common for people to talk about risik time kan. but i'm sharing this part of my life because i truly appreciate your support and prayers for myself and asfirdaus to be together. insyallah, kalau Allah SWT izinkan, kita akan go towards what we prayed for. =)

please dear friends, pray that Allah SWT dapat permudahkan perjalanan kami semua dan sekeluarga.

thank you all so much! 

=D

minggu peliks

allow me to rant my heart out.

after all, this blog is suppose to be about me.

my own perasan bajet bagus ngan muka kekadang mintak penampo blog. tapi takyah la tampar please nanti pipi tembam sebelah, sape nak betulkan? haih. dah start merepek. =p

andyvays, (anyways dalam bahasa igloo) (bahasa igloo doesn't exist, fyi)

to rant, or not to rant?

rant.

so a few days ago, i had a weird day. wait, scratch that. i had a weird week.

it wasn't so weird earlier this week. but tengah tengah tu.. astaghfirullahalazim..

on this one fine day, i kept dropping everything i hold. syndrome butter fingers yang melampau. dah budak mckk, jangan tiba2 perasan ingat i cite pasal band butterfingers tu ya. i know they rock, i love them too, but i'm talking about being clumsy.

best ke maria, type as if you're talking to people?

lantak.

andyvays,

i dropped my phone on numerous occasions. my phone ni agak la precious. bukan agak. memang precious gila la wei. so those times i dropped it, on hard floor, on carpeted floor, on tables, almost in the toilet (fiuhh!!) and on 90degrees elbows, rasa cam time stopped and the sound of the impact cracked my heart open.

melampau kan description?

but because it's precious, it's important and definitely not cheap, rasa sakit kot!

tapi motif jatuhkan phone? memang takde la. dia nak jatuh. aiseyman..

pastu bukan phone je. 

books. 

pens.

even PLC. nasib la PLC tu rosak. kalau tak, mampus nak kena bayar rm10,000++. memang boleh jadi makcik cleaner part time kat company i tu sepuluh tahun to pay back.

ok enough about workplace!

after work, i headed to midvalley kerana mau ketemu rakan-rakan.

it was raining heavily then, and on a slight corner, kereta depan kereta den punya brake lights dinyalakan, maka saya pun tekanlah brake.

pastu suddenly my car started swerving left and right and left and right!!!

woi!! i thought i was going to get into an accident!!!

it was so mighty scary, i cannot explain..

dah la i was driving my kembara!

so swerving left and right was really freaky because i don't want to topple over like an upturned turtle!

eventhough that sounds really cute, but it won't look cute if it was my car that's upturned.. alhamdulillah tak la.

alhamdulillah i managed to control my car. alhamdulillah i did not panic when my car swerved out of control.

alhamdulillah i did not cause any accidents as well.

=')

good thing also, i got a gift from my friend! 

alhamdulillah. rasa ok balik =)

hehee..

the next day lak...

i walked into my office that morning. and i saw my boss and colleague looking at me in a way that, aiyo.. how to describe ek? that mischievous look sort of thing, you know? but i buat dunno je la.

and theeeennnn..

my other colleague ni datang kat i.

dia tanya saya, "apasal u itu macam? saya tada tau!"

i lagi la tak tau. i tanya la dia, apa pasal dia kan.

dia cakap "itu video u punya, kita sume sudah tengok!"

panggeling gelinggg *sound effect kaca pecah*

rupa rupanya, boss pun dah tengok..

apa tak diorang tengok i semacam pagi tu kan. 

jangan cakap la. i memang tak mampu nak tengok bos lepas tu.

bukan merajuk. i was afraid he might not take me seriously. ye la. i'm supposed to be an engineer.. tak serious langsung bila dalam video kan. 

haihh..

so my advise to you young ones.

if you plan to make youtube videos, think about the consequences you might face in future. you think you can stomach your future employers to know and watch your videos? if you insist, make your profile not related to your real name sangat la.. so if they google you, they wont find your 'other life'. ecehhh! hahaha!

but it's up to u.

oh tertinggal pulak. haritu masa tengah jog on the treadmill, i tersadung. yes. i tripped.

and then jatuh atas that board monitor thingy. orang kiri kanan tengok (kot), maka saya terus off-kan treadmill tu, took my bottle and walked away as fast as i could. malu teramat!!

oh well.

despite all the pelik-ness of these few days, i do have a lot to be grateful about.

and one thing's for sure, i have people that cares for me and of course, i thank Allah SWT for the experiences. hopefully i'll learn my lessons, and continue on trying to be a better person.

insyallah~

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: APPLYING FOR THE POST OF BLOGENGINEER

I, Maria Elena, am hoping to get a job at your establishment as a Blogengineer. Please see the attached resume for your perusal.

You can contact me at 6789998212 and greenismyfavecolour@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Elena

ok, this is just a mock cover letter! all the details are just made up but if you can draw your attention to the email, sounds silly isn't it?

andddd that's why i want to share this tip!

i know it's convocation season now which means all you fresh grads will or already have started looking for jobs!

that's great!

so about the email~

i pernah had the task to filter resumes to help my boss in my old company.

and a few potential employee he immediately rejects because of the email address. if he finds it too long, too complicated and weird, dia tanak tengok pun the rest. coz well, usually we put our emails at the top kan.

it's first impression.

according to his philosophy, if this person who wants to be employed, can't even have a real email address, how would he know this person is matured enough to work with him?

well, that's his philosophy. whether i agree or not, dia dah boss kot. means dia lagi tau pasal kerja dari saya yang noob ni kan. then, who knows brape ramai lagi yang thinks like him kan?

so that's why, it's really important to have a real email address.

and i strongly recommend myemail because your email address will be based on your name on your MyKad! if you don't understand why, well it's because you have to register with your real name and IC and then your email will have to be authenticated by JPN. ha, amik tu. serious gila!

myemail ni pun actually very good for those yang dah ber-family, working professionals and those yang nak start business because its got unlimited inbox size, dia punya e-billing system is very systematic and safe because they have tracking features that will make sure you receive the bills, save the environment because you're not using papers kan and so much more!!

you can check out other ways to optimise your myemail at Facebook too! =D

in conclusion, get one important thing right, which is your email address! and when you get on to the interview, then that's a different type of first impression!

good luck!!! =D 

kami ada suara =)

*ketibas = ketiak basah

OK!

story concert Suara Kami dah melalut ke laut. gomenasai! and all that dialogues, please don't take it seriously and i hope i didn't offend Yuna (and fans), Faizal Tahir (and fans), Dato' Sri Mohd Najib (and fans) and Datin Seri Rosmah (and fans) in this post! i made it all up and just hantam suka hati i je. muahahaha!

tapi serious, sorry tau kalau terasa.

heee..

anyhoos, Suara Kami Concert was held on 17th September at Stadium Merdeka. although this post is quite basi, but nasib la. muahahahaa! saya selaku mix melayu cina & india (sila percaya), suka gak la the concert sebab masa concert tu, sume bangsa and agama, from performers to audience, had almost the same thought in mind. 

we just wanna chill =)

from the pictures, you boleh nampak la yang i tak duduk ngan crowd kat padang sebab i am too old for this stuff (sape tengok how i met your mother, sila sengih). hehe!!

so yeah~

kami ada suara.

dan kami chill.

salam.

=)
