Johor

Three days ago i went to my parent's house and my mother told me that my cousin went to Indonesia for work. I immediately became quite frustrated with my life. the reason is, unlike my cousin I had a degree. but it didnt get me anywhere yet. so the next morning i whine to liza about it. about how i never get to go anywhere inside the country for work let alone abroad. I mean look at us, we had LLB and look at what we are doing right now. and we just laughed bitterly about it. haha.
I rarely went for holiday. the last real holiday was when i go to penang. after that any other holiday is simply unaffordable. if i were to go on a business trip all expenses are paid for and even though its for work i still get to see the place.
Anyway, after lunch my master called me in and said "is your car in good condition to drive to JB?"
I cant imagine how i feel at that time. but i did smiled happily and it follows that i said that its in good condition (even though i dont really know).

To cut the long story short, yesterday I drove 435KM to JB. Its the first time ever I drive by myself anywhere that far. Its not that my parent didnt allow me to do so. its just that i never had the opportunity. so we cross country from Selangor to JB back and forth in one day. Cant imagine how tired i am but i am a happy girl.

On that morning i brought the map of malaysia. i got online to check the exact location of the place we are going and checked the weather for the day (because i want to know what to wear). Its was confirmed later that it was very very sunny for the whole day up to 33 degrees. the only thing i regret was that my shades is still in the optic shop. I was fully prepared and after two pit stops and nearly four hours later here i am:Puteri Harbor, Kota Iskandar, Nusajaya.

I cant believe that this is actually the ocean and the whole green patch at the back is actually Singapore. The friend that i was travelling together and myself is very frustrated that we cant get to Singapore because we didnt have passports. I told him to make one since he's already a lawyer unlike me. Anyway sorry about the poor shot, I'm using my phone camera coz i didnt have the time to borrow the real one from parents.
Then we went to eat at the harbor in the pictures:




















I get myself Seezhuan chicken and orange juice. Its actually ayam masak kicap. but its nice and the price is RM10 for the food and RM5 for the juice. but RM10 is ok considering i'm eating at a place like this harbor facing the ocean and a ll the boats and this view:

Then we went on for our important meeting here:
Then we went back. I didnt drive on the way back even though i dont mind doing it. I craved for all the rural foods and felt quite frustrated that we didnt have time to explore and find a place where we can eat fresh seafood or anything. So on the way back we stop at Jejantas Ayer Keroh but they didnt have much food there except kerepek. Then we stop at Seremban because the shopkeeper in Seremban said thats where good food is and i had this:

Price: insane...no difference than at our place. My advice is when you get out of town eat where the people eat and not where the travellers eat.
plus, it doesnt taste insanely good like i want it to be. dont eat at R&R.
Got home at 10.30pm. and immediately passed out at 11pm. Haha, 8 hours of driving back and forth...two hours of meeting. total = 10 hours! aite...off to work now (damn i really love having broadband at home).

Never say goodbye

Post hari ini adalah post khas untuk aku mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada semua staff dan peguam di Messrs KP yg telah banyak memberi tunjuk ajar kepada aku. FYI petang tadi adalah hari terakhir aku bekerja part time sbg conveyancing clerk.Sebenarnya mereka bukan sahaja telah mengajar aku Banking & Finance. Malah sebenarnya mereka juga mengajar aku tentang kehidupan bekerja. dan yang paling mahal sekali, mengajar aku melihat masa depan aku sendiri.ketahuilah bahawa kalau kita memberikan ikan kepada orang yang kebuluran dia akan kenyang pada masa itu sahaja tetapi jika kita mengajar dia memancing maka dia akan kenyang setiap hari. dan di dalam Islam pula ilmu yg kita berikan kpd orang lain pahalanya terus kita miliki selama org itu, dan org yg diajarnya mempraktikkan ilmu itu.kalau difikirkan, keuntungannya dari segi pahala mmg berlipat kali ganda kalah skim cepat kaya. ilmu yg aku terima, pasti akan aku gunakan sebaik-baikya. sebetulnya aku mmg tidak pandai mengucapkan selamat tinggal. aku merasakan tidak perlu ada kata-kata perpisahan itu sebab dunia ni kecik je, esok lusa bleh jumpe balik.dan kalau boleh aku tidak mahu meninggalkan sesiapa. ucapan selamat tinggal bagi aku seperti memuktamadkan sahaja perpisahan itu.oleh itu, terima kasih dan jumpa lagi. i will be looking forward to be seeing you all again.okey, habis kata2 mukadimah yg aku telah berusaha menulis dalam BM yg paling skema mampu aku ciptakan.mari aku perkenalkan korang semua kepada rakan-rakan seperjuangan yg telah membuatkan percutian semester aku sungguh terisi dengan penuh peristiwa:

yg ni kak lina, dia adalah salah seorang dari dua tok guru aku where i have to learn as much as i can as fast as i can. kak lina ni bz je memanjang tp dia sabar jek bile aku tanye soalan. sebenarnye soalan aku tak putus2. aku tau kak lina tensen jek ngan aku. hahaha. sorry kak lina, apepe pun tenkiu very much!
yg ni kak liza, lg sorang tok guru yg byk mengajar aku tentang camne nak wat keje. aku syorkan tok guru ni la tempat korang semua nak blaja conveyancing sampai jadik terer. caution: not for the weak at heart. ahaks

kesimpulannye aku byk belajar dari kedua-dua tok guru aku nih. aku respect diorang ni sebab bkan semua org bleh jadik legal staff. in fact Charles Dickens penulis terhebat yg aku kagumi pun pernah jadik legal clerk before dia menjadi terkenal sebagai penulis. dan aku sgt berbangga sebab dapat merasa walaupun sekejap pekerjaan yg hebat nih.

yg ni kak lin, sejak kehadiran dia aku bukan lg org baru. tp x dpt nak berkenalan dgn lebih lama lagi sebab baru je beberapa minggu dia berada kat sini aku sudah habis kerja. hehe. apepe pun its very nice meeting you :D

yg ni kak Zaharah, antara org pertama yg menegur aku pada hari pertama aku di firm tu. mase last day aku mcm tak sampai hati plak nak berhenti. pandai betol kak zaharah ni memanipulasikan perasaan aku. cuma aku tak tunjuk jek pasal aku ego. teheheh. mase kat opis kak zaharah ni selalu wat aku gelak dgn kisah2 dirinye.

okey, inilah jack of all trade kat dlm firm ni. nama dia Azni. mase memule nak mintak keje aku deal dgn dia ni lah. pastu dah dapat keje, aku selalu mintak pen kat dia pasal pen aku asyik hilang jek. hehe. dia ni semua pun pandai, buat accounting pandai, angkat tepon pandai, dan paling pandai sekali berurusan dgn abang posmen yg kacak :P

aite, ni je lah yg bleh aku bebelkan, hope u guys (especially staff kat firm tuh) enjoy this entry. maafkan aku segala kesilapan yg aku sengaja dan tak sengaja buat. see u again! bye!

Workaholic

So, i've now reached a point where people can call the firm asking for me. a newbie, but not quite. (sing Britney Spears). I even reached a point where there is so much to do and there is so little time. I have handled a total of 40 (or 50?) files so far and i feel like i've been in this firm forever (i mean this in a good way and a bad way too hahaha). If i stayed longer i might have a collection of angry clients who called every other day just to force me to fight against nature in order to get their case done like all other senior staffs and lawyers. but nah, i cant stay longer even if i want to...even when i enjoyed the companionship of the people around me...even if i appreciate all their attention and insights and guidance. because i've got law school to attend. another scary semester. the final semester and crazy people to deal with. and then another 9 months of unknown future.
All i can say is, i do not waste any minute i spend in this firm. i feel like even if i am not a pro at conveyancing, i think people here can agree that i have some basic of it now. and i have one POV here: what we did last semester all that filing and stuff IS NOT CONVEYANCING that was LITIGATION dEM IT. anyway, we know its not what he called it...but we just shut it and do it coz hey thats life. u gotta do what ure told unless and until ure in the telling position. so i quote KAK INA 'senang naj ajar kau ni' muehehehehe (kembang dowh) HOWEVER, i do not take it in toto okay, i took it with a grain of salt too. they said my personality suit LITIGATION better. well havent i heard that one too many times. truth is, i'm not sure of it. as usual, i prefer to just go wherever life took me.
anyways, i plan to resign by the end of this month. i've already book a hotel in Penang on the 3rd-5th July. I AM SO GOING CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA. and Fiza and the family is ready to receive me. and Hafiq might be coming too. i bid all the food in Penang to await for my arrival patiently. huhuhu :D
kay, lunch hour is over.....adios (singing Santana -Corazon Espinado)

Sawang?

mari kita membersihkan sawang kat blog nih.
okeh...kepada sume yg ramai bertanye.....aku dapat keje kat Putrajaya sementara cuti nih. tu yg takde mase nak update. lagipun as u all know aku mmg takde internet. so go figure.
aku mulenye dah give up sebab sebulan sebelum cuti aku dah cari keje. plus, lepas dah sebulan cuti takde yg confirm. so aku dah buat keputusan nak lepak je. tetibe bile aku dah start melepak barulah ada org nak bagi aku keje. aku pun amik lah. pasal aku pun dah agak mcm nak pengsan sebab bosan tahap gaban. ternyata aku ni takleh dok diam.
banyak ilmu yg aku dapat kat sini. in a way i know that my time is not wasted.
untuk kemudahan aku sejak start keje, aku pindah sepenuhnya ke rumah flat yg aku dah bagitau korang seblum ni. Liza dah sleepover. aku nak ajak Fiza, Hana, Nadia, Gerald dan sape2 lagi la kawan2 rapat perempuan for sleepover. in a way, aku nak promote rumah tu sebab aku lebih prefer tinggal dgn org yg aku kenal. tapi liza n fiza macam takleh sebab perancangan tidak sama. so takpelah.
anyhow, aku tak dapat merepek lama2 pasal aku ADA KEJE NAK BUAT
sekian, until next time....adios amigos!

p/s: thanks for asking & caring. U're the best!

Haihhhh

kebosanan. ape pun tak jalan kalau takde internet kat rumah. sebab aku ni malas nak keluar rumah sgt. skrg baru lepas balik tgk Startrek kat mines. pastu singgah CC kat serdang. best gler startrek tuh. aku g tengok sensorang jek. hehe. aku syorkan movie ni kat org2 yg mempunyai taste mcm aku jek.
anyway, apartment aku tuh dah siap aku cuci and siap ada perabot, peti ais, tv, katil. pendek kata dah lengkap utk diduduki oleh aku. tapi aku mcm takot la plak nak dok sensorang. so aku lepak rumah jek. mak bapak aku plak yg excited banyak kali tanye bile aku nak pindah. hahaha. aku tak pedulik. selagi tak jumpe roommate aku takmo dok situ. biar aku mengabiskan beras di rumah mak bapak aku jek. hehe
aku tak kerje apepe. every semester break keje aku keje je. so sem ni utk kali treakhirnye aku takmo keje. aku lepak2 jek. lepas2 tu maksud dia membute, tgk tv, bace buku citer. kalau ade kenkawan ajak jalan, aku jalan. kalau recession time aku grad nanti padan muke aku takde keje. haha. well, live according to the moment. i simply refuse to dwell on the future too much. lagipun aku ingat nak generate income dari apartment tu. harap2 adela org nak sewa. disebabkan aku bercuti, so expect blog aku tidak di update. tambahan plak internet takde kan. lagipun nanti nampak macam takde life plak sebab asik ada masa nak update blog time cuti. cuti adalah cuti. roger and out.

penatnye

Saya nak beritahu semua orang yang setiap kali saya memandu jauh dari rumah atau UIA seorang diri mesti saye sesat.
mase balik dari PWTC dulu sesat sampai PJ baru dapat balik umah. hari ni, nak g IKEA tapi jalan jam jadi saya patah balik and singgah Cheras Leisure Mall. tapi nak g CLM pun sampai dua kali salah masuk jalan (ini setiap kali nak pegi sana aku mesti buat sesat yg sama) pastu ade ke patut aku nak masuk MRR2 mase nak balik umah tadi ta[i termasuk jalan hape tah, pastu sesat sampai Bangi baru leh sampai umah. aku tekanan dengan diri sendiri sebab kene tol sampai RM1 x 3 = RM3.00. pastu minyak lagik.
menci betol la. padehal aku ni dahlah independent. tak cool la asyik sesat jek. grrrr.
okay, takpe, lupekan sume ini.
esok, hari yang sungguh sebok. Gerald dah amik half day leave just to go out with me to the warehouse sale. but i received a call from a legal firm to come for an interview tomorrow. i am so hoping i can (no, i must) make it to see Gerald or i am dead. i'll freak out at myself again if i couldnt make it. i think i'll make it. thats life. everything must happen at the same time and sometimes nothing happen at all.
okay, flat aku (sebenarnye flat mak aku) sudah siap dipagari dengan grill. ciri2 keselamatan sudah lengkap. besok atau lusa mak aku akan pegi kedai lampu dan beli lampu sambil memastikan servis pemasangan pun available sekali. ini kerana adik lelaki aku merangkap technician keluarga sedang menjalani final exam. aku buat pertama kalinye sudah melihat flat tersebut pada hari ini. aku cukup berpuas hati dengan keadaannye. tidak terlalu besar atau kecil bagi orang bujang mcm aku nih. hehe. besok aku bz, jadi maybe lusa aku akan kesana dan menjalankan proses pembersihan. aku dah beli pencuci lantai anti bakteria di Giant tadi. lepas tu, aku akan berpindah masuk. sekarang aku dalam proses nak iklankan bilik untuk disewa. yela, takkan aku sorang2 jek dok kat situ. walaupun aku sendiri tak kisah tapi eloklah aku tak dok sensorang kan. ciri2 housemate yg aku nak: practicing Muslim, pakai tudung, tutup aurat, female, hygenic. sekarang ada dua bilik kosong. dekat dengan stesen komuter serdang. sape2 yg berminat sila emel aku takpun letak je komen kat sini. haha. oh, sewa aku tak decide lagi tapi sebijik rumah between rm450-550 je kot, jadi pepandai la bahagi sendiri. bilik ada tiga tapi master bedroom of course aku yg punye.
