I'm finally back to work after 11 days of butt-plumping, calories-rising, laziness-growing EID break.

At least apart from the fact that my legs turned to jelly & the I'm so going to faint now feeling on the 2nd day of EID due to the so called open house/bbq/ steamboat session at home(I loathe the clean-up. God,please gimmeh more moneh so I could hire like 10 bibiks for mum thankyouverymuch), my long break is totally hassle free.

Those days of lazing around at home whilst figuring out what to have for lunch/dinner and later out and about with mum for umpteenth sessions of foot spa are blissful beyond words. I cannot ask for more,like seriously.

Owh yes, on a lighter note, who would have thought that I would be able to score myself a handful of birthday gift(thankyouverymuch mum) & duit raya, RM265 is ain't that bad for 25 years old, no? I could get myself a pair of nice sandal with that. :P

Talking about work, I'm literally back today tho technically half of my mind was already back at work yesterday, thanks to the ever so wonderful users,they sure do miss me when I'm not around. Howw overwhelming. Not.

Well, I'm off, hafta be prepared for a UAT.

Hmpp..I miss hectoring C***.

Tata now.

I'm 2 and a half decades years old yesterday.

I'm thankful for another blissful year and I thank Allah for my good life.

As I'm showered with messages from well-wishers at the strike of 12a.m yesterday, I'm thankful for being blessed with a bunch of wonderful friends - tho I didn't get to go out(to parrrrteyyy - as if) or whatsoever due to the absolute tiredness and well, the pacar was off for work somewhere unreachable.

& owh, I don't know about you people, but I don't think C***'s idea of wanting to be the last person to wish me a happy birthday(his idea of save the best for last,bleh) is romantic.

I surely do not think so. he he.

Anyhow, thank you, merci, terima kasih for everything.

On a lighter note, I would be off from work for 11 freaking days starting tomorrow. Yey!

Thank God for the block leave, now I could finally stop being a geek for a while & try to live a non-geeky life for a bit(whilst stuffing myself like an oink oink & melaram pakai baju raya yang meriah).

How's that sound?

Well, for all of you out there, the cousins, the darlings and whatnot(read:stalkers),

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Maaf zahir & batin.




I'll see you in 11 days(or sooner, provided I'm in the mood to write).

Tata.

I'm not the one who writes good memorable stories when it comes to relationship. In fact I hardly write any, but it's never too late for a first time, no?

Well, we(me & C*** lah,who else. hehe) met each other 6 years ago - today, online(yer,online). Separated by thousands of miles and different time zones. Time flies eh?

No. I didn't jot it down in my little black book nor we celebrate the date each year. It so happens that we met for the first time 3 days before my 19th birthday(God,I feel old,yes I'll be another year old soon,real soon).

Well, tho we met on the most unlikely day in such unlikely way, I wouldn't consider him as a random person , as he's a friend of a friend but yea, if you ask me, I never thought that I could come this far with someone that I met online.

Like c'mmon, I'm a geek for sure but it doesn't mean that I'll bump into the love of my life(I hope) on the net which would further emphasize my geeky-ness?

Like, we're supposed to meet someone in the library or whilst enjoying a fantastic beach vacation or whilst sitting in the same programming class or even when we're trying to go down the stairs whilst trying to carry a stack of books and later lose our balance and the owh so wonderful stranger would come lending us a hand. Ya know, any of those situations with the drama bits.

So yea, mine is considered unlikely, very unlikely & no drama. Booo hooo.. and yet it still managed to come this far. :P

Well, if there's one thing that makes me stick to this particular guy over the years, it's just the fact that he didn't hide behind any of those charming online profile. No corny words and the sort. We just happened to start off as friends. The kind of friends which had little or no filtering at all when it comes to stuff that we talked about and the relationship blasted off on a slow pace as we would only talk to each other few times a week for the 1st year and later almost 24/7 until we lose all the sense of time.

Yes, we talked(online, on the phone etc) to each other a whole blardy lot back then(my darlings could testify on this) but we didn't jump into the relationship wagon until the next few years. 4 years to be exact, 4 freaking long years(no, I'm not complaining, I love the freedom.he he) tho we used to meet a bunch of times when he got back during his breaks.

Honestly, it's sorta tough for me to actually like someone,especially online, like what the hell did I get myself into? Tho it's not like I never did, but truthfully to really like someone is hard for me(be it offline or online), I'm just being careful, paranoid even - which seems like a good thing to do back then(& even now).

So falling for someone online is just outta the question - tho I hafta admit I started to like him a little circa 2005-2006 (what's not to like about someone who was thoughtful enough to send me this) but I just couldn't tell for sure, at least not until he's back so I could see more of him offline rather than online.Like apekah kau suka-suka hati nak suka kat orang yang duduk hujung dunia mana,tah-tah dia saja berpoya2. See? Paranoid talking.

Long story short, he was back for good in 2007 & the rest is history. :P

So that's about it, you can puke or laugh now.

I'm just sorta caught up in one of my rarest mode. he he.

Here's to another 60 years. hehe.

Happy Fasting.

Tata.

p/s:Finally found my baju raya.Yey! Thanks love :x

If there's one thing I like about my job is the fact that I'll get to witness the users turn wide-eyed in amazement when I somehow managed to create, or develop something which makes their life easier(whilst vice versa for mine) - yup as easy as a single click of a button.

Then comes the sucky part. Once you introduced them to such pleasure, they would instantaneously come up with 1001 ridiculous requests to make their easy life easier(& vice versa for mine again),waaaay easier.

Like kalau kau malas sampai macam tu sekali la kan, apa kata quit your job and duduk rumah jer? Yup, I wish I could say that, but that would be truly inappropriate.Giler ape? I would risk losing my job. he he.

To make matters worse, I couldn't act dumb to save my ass. I couldn't go "Apekah yang anda mahukan? I dunno, it's like out of my brain capacity already." to them, obviously I just cannot. It would be like digging my own blardy grave as it's hard enough to gain their confidence in me(being the one lacking of programmer-geeky-ness appearance qualities) and I would kill if someone mock me with one of those skeptical "Owh, so this is the programmer? " remarks again.

Like seriously,my tudung or my skirt or my shiny handbag doesn't define my coding capabilities.

Yea, you got it right. I am the one who gonna make your life easier,so wipe that silly smile outta your face already.

Okay, sedikit emo disitu. Where was I? Yes, so it's only natural for me not to blow it all off with such answer whilst hoping that their God knows what request gonna turn me into a better programmer, hard work pays off kan? kan?Yer, I wanna be a Java sifu. Wishful thinking. :P

So yea,whichever way I turn, I'm trapped, like rat.

Well, don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love the mind-boiling sensations, it's just what I do. I just need to rant a little(& sometimes a lot).

Hmpp..on a lighter note,it's Thursday already.Time sure flies - especially when you're busy.

Back to work now.

Tata.

p/s:I've edited the entry for umpteenth time today. Thanks for the heads up bro. Sometimes my head tends to run faster then my hands,so terskip2 pulak.Ayat pon jadi tergantung :P

I'm tired. My mind is boiling despite the freezer-like office. Too much coding or perhaps it's the Friday blues, ya know the day when you're yearning for weekend so bad that it hurts.

Well, let's not jump into the stressed-out wagon as I would be able to head straight out and enjoy my weekend in approximately..hmpp.. 35 minutes. :P

Anyway, talking about the Eid-fever that's currently tugging at my brain. I was already presented with a bunch of sampul duit raya from the company(along with last month's payslip). It's a sign. A sign that I should start to give out a serious amount of duit raya this year, coz I haven't be able to do so for the past 2 years(except for those chosen bunch.Yer memang pilih kasih). he he. *glares to imaginary shopaholic aka boros-self*

So Encik Boss, sampul jer? Duit raya takde ke? he he.

Haih. I want pizza for iftar.(Tetiba jer)

Extra cheese please?

Owh,happy weekend.

If there's someone in this whole wide world who tend to make weird faces whilst her pics are being taken( otherwise known as non-photogenic,yup you got it right, I'm not camera shy,just not photogenic), it hafta be me.

I tend to have the weirdest expression plastered on my face whenever I'm captured on pictures - which is good in a way, else endless stream of pic of yours truly would be posted everyday and everyone would slowly dying inside(of terrifying images of me).

Credit where credit is due, merci Mr.Yusran for the above pics - which were taken during our short date(yer,date bertiga,sepatutnye bukan berempat ke?), terima kasih pacik. :P (Tapi naper pic C*** yang masih lagi botak itu lagi banyak from mine? Kenapee? Kenapeee? Pilih kasih yer,mentang2 dah borak2 macam geng. )

Owh yes, talking about the pic, note the 1st pic on the right,2nd row, that picture portrays the exact look which C*** would give me each time I'm whiny or acting weird. Perhaps a subtle way of saying "memacam betul la budak ni,penat aku nak melayan".

Yup, I'm sorta good when it comes to reading between the lines, tho I tend to decode and over analyze sometimes, which is bad.

Well, on a lighter note, it's Thursday already. Working 3 days/week is bliss. I loveeee short working weekdays(memang dasar pemalas).

Don't we all? :P

You know you've been away from work far too long(compared to everyone else) when

1. The existent of multiple reminders to warn you regarding the office mailbox quota, highlighted in red.
2. Screaming inquiries mails from users, some of them must have thought that I've quit my job dan balik kampung tanam jagung or something.
   
3. Multiples friendly reminders from the IT Security to warn you of the VPN expiration date.
   
4. The temporary blurriness aka blur ayam the 1st day you got back to work, like "Apekah nak kena buat ni? Rasa macam banyak keje,but where do I begin??".
5. You feel like dying from banging your head on the desk whilst trying to figure out what to do extreme laziness. Period.

Just so you know, as geeky as I am. I tend to steer away from the net whilst I'm on my days off hence the

1. Unanswered personal emails.
2. Friends being left un-poked. :P
3. Pet(di Pet Society) yang kelaparan dan berlalat.
4. Restaurant(di Restaurant City) yang dah seminggu tak dibukak.
5. Ladang yang tidak dituai.
   

okay fine, I tend to do too much FB sometimes,but only when I'm having one of those programmer's block(such thing?) and the sort,ya know?

Anyway, yes, I had another fattening long weekend & I love it to bits. There are nothing better than home-cooked meals and spending time out and about with the parents, no?

Well,lets not get carried away, back to work.

Happy fasting & have a great week.

Tata.
