Not So Lucky..

The final list of Lucky Draw came out today.. was so excited to check on what I've win from last night. Unfortunately, nothing this year!! I'm not lucky this year.. how can that be?? This is all Mary's fault! Wishing me not to win this year and asking me to give a chance to 'the newbies'.. what-e-ver! :)

The other thing, Abang Bad is not taking home the LCD tv.. Why? I'll tell you why.. it belongs to Badrul Hisham from Pacifica! Aww.. poor Abang Bad. He was so excited that night.. on the stage shaking hand with GM..!



At work, everybody is still talking about our show the other night and still receiving congrats wishes. Mmm.. this is what they called 'glamour' aight?? :) Right after afternoon shift came in, we had a Performer Meeting, to talk about on what shall we do with the cash (RM1,500.00) that we've won. Everyone of us agreed to have a big party at the back office for all our department's colleagues.. regardless to whom that supported us or not! This is to built a good rapport between us so that everybody will support us for next year! But a few issues pop's up from the donation from them.. whether to return back their donation of not to return it back! We'll have another meeting for that then..



I've just couldn't stop looking at the party's pictures again, and again, and again..! Missed all the fun part while doing the performance class and as well the nervous part while waiting for our turn, and not forgetting the excitement and joy while doing the performance on stage.. I really enjoyed every bit of it! It was so much fun!! I've attached a few more nice pictures (from other camera!) of our performance.. hope you guys enjoy it :)



While looking and the pictures and busy replying all the comments received on my Facebook, received a text from Faarhad at 1.57am, 'Sorry, I've just got home from coaches meeting and friendly futsal in Segambut.' Then the chat starts.. until 2.30am. Really missed him! A lot!!

We Are The Champion!

The day had come.. been working for so hard for the past 2 weeks and it worth it! Tonight is the night of our Annual Dinner & Dance (Oriental Night theme for this year).. everybody was so excited, including us.. the Front Desk Dance Troupe. Tonight is the night to show everybody on what we have been working and training everyday, and the night to impressed everybody that had never support us all this years.


It has been a very busy day from as early as 10.00am, getting ready for the performance.. doing the preparation, make-up, last minute prop touch-up and stage blocking. At first, the stage was so wide and we're so happy to have that big space for the performance but, on the day itself, a huge MO Fan was on the stage as a backdrop complete with a few steps of stairs. It makes the stage smaller and we're so worried. We only have a limited space for our performance tonight.. lucky, Moggie had done a last minute stage blocking and it solved all our worries. In fact, it makes us looked more confident and grand on stage! Thanks to our instructor, Moggie, for all his professionalism!


We've made it! This year we managed to keep our title as the champion for Inter-department Performance Competition for the second year! And we also won the Best Dress Department as well. What a night! Front Office had achieved a lot of victory this year, beside than that two titles, Abang Bad won a lucky draw for 37" LCD Panasonic tv, John Ong won a Dell laptop, Michelle won a digital camera and a few other more.



I personally had fun doing the performance tonight. Since most of our dance troupe members are a new comer, we really had that stage fright as well as being so nervous while waiting for our turn to be on the stage! But luck is on our side, everything went smoothly until the end of our performance. We're really satisfied to had made everybody in our department so proud!


All of our department members was so glam with their Cheong Sum dresses and Kungfu style shirts, not forgetting the Shanghai Tai Ko style as well. Mary was so pretty with her gold Cheong Sum with her gold high heels! We also had our a special guests, Poh Ling and Annie. To bad for you Liling, you missed all the fun.



I'm so glad that everything had passed now.. I'm back to my normal life again.. hu.. hu..!! :)

The Finale Night..

Today is the final day of our rehearsal and hard work for the big night tomorrow. Been practicing today from 4.00pm to 9.00pm really makes us really, really tired! Everybody has been instructed by our instructor, Moggie to wear all black.. looked so professional! Been working in the morning shift and after 4.00pm, we have our performance class rehearsal until 9.00pm everyday for the passed 2 weeks. Can you guys imagine how tired we are?? Feel like dying.. with muscle ache and stuff, not to mentioned swollen feet and blistered knees!

During our rehearsal today, had received a lot of good comments from everybody. Done a few touch-up here and there.. and waiting for tomorrow night to see if all our hard works really worth. Our performance is expected at 8.45pm and we're the 3rd performance after Housekeeping Team and F&B Team. We're so nervous..Guys, please pray for our team to keep our title for this year..


Wanna know what I'm gonna wear to the party tomorrow night? A shinning Tai Ko silk shirt with mafla around my neck, black loose pants and black kungfu shoes.. is that too much? Bought the Tai Ko silk shirt in China Town last night while the girls shopping for their performance custome. After bargaining with the shopkeeper, managed to get that Tai Ko shirt for RM40.00.. good deal! The kungfu shoes was bought in Philosophy KLCC for RM34.90 (after 30% discount from RM49.90) and the mafla and black loose pants are from my own collection. I've spent less that RM100.00 for the custome.. managed to keep to my budget!


I'm so very tired and can't really think on what to type in my blog.. what I had in my mind was my bed and pillow.. Got to go to bed now, sorry guys! :)

Almost There..

The performance class for today had gone as far as 90%, just to do a bit of touch-up here and there and the sharpness of our performance.. then we're ready to perform on the 29th October. Then we'll see, which group will have the title for this year. However, we still have a headache on the costume, Moggie has not advise us on how the costume will look like and as well to touch-up all our props for the show. I hope everything will go on as we planned. We had a meeting after the class for our final rehearsal and as well the full dress rehearsal on the day itself before the show start.

Yatie went for the Committee meeting yesterday for the performance and she told us that our performance will be the 2nd show after F&B Team.. nervous!! It has been confirmed that only 6 team will take part this year. Wish us luck!


The invitation card has been distributed to everybody.. just can't wait to see my luck on the Lucky Draw. I was lucky almost every year, the 2nd year I've got dinner set, the 3rd year I've got Samsung DVD Player, the 4th year I've got paid holiday for 3 days & 2 nights in Pangkor Laut Resort, the 5th year I've got 29" colour TV and last year I've got a table fan.. am I lucky or what?? How about this year? Hope it will be a better gift than the rest of the years!

After the rehearsal, we went to Faisal's open house.. yeah.. free food! I've saved an RM for my dinner tonight!! Most of our gang was there.. fun.

Another Raya Open House..

Today we had our performance class in a squash court in Titiwangsa.. nice and big but a bit dusty! You guys should see how our feet look like.. horrible!! All black! I should have take a picture of it! :) But it was OK, the class went very well today. Only a few of us unable to attend the class today due to some circumstances. The training was from 6.00pm till 9.00pm.. and will be the same time and venue for tomorrow. We really enjoyed ourselves and had almost reach to the 100% today. In a few more days, it will be 100% and we're ready to perform on stage!

John told me that he saw the performance group list has came-put on the notice board.. and there are about 5 groups now taking part. And as well a group called 'Pacifica'!! It makes me more confused, after all this while, I heard that Pacifica group is joining F&B Team and now, they have their own team. Not a surprise to us anymore.. we've expected it since the first day! So now, we got to do whatever we got to do!! We'll try to keep our title again this year.. only god knows who's the winner.


And tonight, I was invited for an open house in Yusnoor & Rahman's place. Though to leave from the class straight to their place, but since I was sweating and dusty, I went home instead to take a shower and change. Finally, reached their place at 10.15pm. The only thing in my mind was food! I was very hungry!! Need food!!

It was nice to meet the old friends as well as the new friends in the open houses. Been chatting with them non-stop and trying to catch-up with a few new gossips! Well.. it is not a few, but a lot of them!!

Really enjoyed myself today.. but felt a bit tired from the performance class. Have to catch-up with my sleep now (morning shift tomorrow!).

Yes..!!

Finally.. saw him online in YM and I buzzed him. I thank him for his text every morning and he told me he was so glad that he be able to do so, at least that is the only time he is not busy and a good start to start a day.

We chatted for a while, but he was busy trying to complete his reports before 2.00pm and have to rush for a meeting after that. I let him be him.. and at the same time, trying to adjust myself to understand his situation too..

Hopefully, it will work this time.. don't want the same thing happens to me again!

A Great Day Starting With..

My eyes was wide opened today at 10.30am.. with nasi lemak and sambal kerang on my mind! What a great day to start.. thinking about what breakfast will we have this morning!! Grabbed my mobile (I used to check my phone right after I woke-up from sleep) and saw a text message in my in-box. It's a text from Faarhad..

'Salam good morning to you. Smile always and have a great and wonderful day! :) I'm on my motorbike and on my way to work.' gave me a very big smile in the morning. His text always put me in a good mood.. one more time, what a great day to start.

Then I switch-on my laptop to see if he's online in the office to reply his text.. unfortunately, he's not this morning. He's probably busy.. I will reply his text later, don't want to disturb him..

I'm Happy..

It was a surprise that Faarhad has been sending me a text message every morning since Monday.. after we had a small 'text fight' on last Sunday night. He has been trying to change himself after I had told him that his 'busyness' is not a good excuse not to text me or replying my text.

He has been sending me a text right after he wake-up from sleep or before he leave home for work.
The first text he sent we was 'Hi, how are you? Hope you have a great day ahead! I'm on the way to work now :)' Today he sent me 'Sending you a wishes of Salam and hope you have a nice day.'

This evening, he also sent me a text, 'Came back 6.00pm, was raining like mad, still went down for a short game of football. I'm off for a shower now. Tonight will be a meeting with Felda and my friend will pick me up. How are you? Had your dinner yet?' Mmm.. :)

See, it is not an excuse not to reply the text message, we can even do it while having our poo, or when we wake-up from sleep or before we heading to our work place. I have proved him wrong this time!

Latest Update.

Heard a rumour that Pacifica team was actually joining for the performance this year.. but they are named under the F&B team this year. Rumours been telling us that they will do a Chinese Opera show.. and it must be a very big show from them this year! Since they did not win in 2007.. I believe that they've been trying so hard to take back their title. Also heard that they had paid a coach from the opera house for their classes.. it must be very big then!!


We had our meeting at the cafeteria while having our lunch this afternoon. Everybody was so nervous when we found-out that Pacifica team is taking part this year and was earlier been told that they did not take part at all this year! Mmm.. I wonder why they have been keeping them self so low profile.. everybody did not know the actual story yet.

They even had their performance rehearsal outside of the hotel in order for them to keep this as a secret.. Gosh, this would be a very hard competition, with a very strong competitors. I believe that all our MOKUL colleagues are expecting us in this performance but Pacifica team had made a very strong comeback. Please, please pray for us!


Our class had been 75% complete while we only left a week now until the performance date. We got to be serious in class from now on.. no more jokes and no more laughs! Another big thing happen in the class today, one of our prop (10 metres satin fabric for the show) had gone missing! No idea where it had gone to or maybe somebody trying to boycott us??


We been trying so hard to make this performance happen and to keep our title for this year.. just hoping to have a full support from each and everybody in our team and department on this big night!

Pissed!

My text messages that was sent to Faarhad yesterday afternoon and this afternoon, only got the reply at 10.55pm today! I was so pissed-off thinking about the 'busyness' of some individual and not be able to reply text messages.. but somehow, while that 'busyness', they be able to have breakfast, lunch or dinner or taking a shower! Mm..??

Well, text messages can also be replied while having poo, right? So, there's no excuse at all! It will only take less than a minute to press the mobile buttons to create a message and finally just pressing OK button to send it! Very simple!! Right??

My text messages conversation with Faarhad (that made me pissed-off at that time!):

FAARHAD : Hi. Hey I'm very sorry, I've just got a few minutes spared right now to reply you. I was actually filling-up the database for all the coaches in Malaysia right now. Pity you, you're boring today at home huh? How are you doing?

ME : I'm OK.. been waiting for your reply since yesterday, finally, I got your reply! Not working today and was so bored at home doing nothing. I'm not even go out anywhere today! Me, right now having my dinner in Burger King at Karak Highway alone.

FAARHAD : Lerr. Burger King? Karak? Mmm.. interesting, it's OK if you're alone or not, but yum yum! Hungry la.. he.. he.. Yesterday, I was so busy with Pesta Bola Merdeka from noon till night. Yesterday morning was busy preparing the documents for my presentation. Today went for a briefing for 4B futsal in JBS Kampung Pandan till noon. Then I rushed to Kelana Jaya for a meeting. That JBS Kampung Pandan is a good news for me caused the programme will be until February 2009, and they are paying well. I was very busy! Hmm.. I will let you know about Proton meeting later, it was a long story. Hey, what are you having there in Burger King?

ME : Mm.. it's OK, you're too busy to know what I'm having here. Take care.

FAARHAD : Seriously, sorry. Well actually I got a few spare minutes now until I feel sleepy.

ME : It's OK, I know that you're so busy. Just carry on with whatever that you're doing!

FAARHAD : :-s OK. And I'm sorry for that. Take care too. Goodnight.

ME : And don't forget to eat and take your shower while you having your spare time now. Who knows, you might not have a time to eat and taking shower caused you're too busy!

FAARHAD : :-s I get the message. Sorry I troubled you..

ME : What-e-ver!! :s

15 minutes later.. I felt to guilty to have said that to him. I regret it! Have to apologize to him.. I don't want to loose him again!

ME : Hey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that.. I don't mean it. Sorry..

FAARHAD : It's OK. I can't do anything about me at this moment. I'm sorry too..

ME : I don't know why I was so emotional today! Sorry again.. I know I should have understand you and your work. But sometimes, I do things without thinking twice. I'm sorry.. I had a bad experience with someone that was so busy just like you. So, I don't want to repeat the same mistake again..

FAARHAD : It's OK.. I don't mean to troubled you. I'm really sorry too.

ME : You didn't troubled me, it is just me that had been troubling you all this while. That is why, I have to think a few times before sending you a text caused you're busy. But, when each time I think of you, my hand will automatically sending the text to you. I'm sorry again.. I really missed you..

FAARHAD : We'll meet up soonest possible. Not meeting a close friend after 17 years, I missed you too. Insya-Allah, we'll plan for the meeting ya. OK, I'm sleepy now. Goodnight. Take care :)

ME : Nite.. thanks for replying me.

FAARHAD : It's alright.. It's OK.

ME : OK, you should take a rest now.. you must be very tired today. Nite nite!

Huh..! I was so emotional today.. I don't know why! Probably, I missed him too much? Or, just asking for his attention? Or, I really need to have someone to be with right now? Well, I've been thinking about him a lot these few days. Maybe, I'm sick of thinking about it!! Am I..?

Dude Herlino

To my Malay friends, did you recognize this face? Yes, Kang Rado in Indonesian tele-drama Intan. He is Dude Herlino (aged 27 years old!). He is such a great actor.. really gives us a great impression on Indonesian drama.

I'm fallen for him!! He was so cute.. and when he smile.. your heartbeat will stop! So, for you guys out there that has not watch this Indonesian tele-drama Intan, please do so. A very good family oriented drama.. and great actors and actresses including Meriam Belinna.

Suhana's Open House..

It is always fun to gather around friends and chat on anything with them while our mouth fulled with food! So, all this open house gathering is a-must-to-attend gathering for me.. to be around my friends.

Yesterday, Suhana had an open house in her place in Seri Kembangan. Most of our gang are there, Yatie and her family, Azian and he family, Pamela, Amir and wife, Allie, Zahir, Faisal and Nazrie. The house was fulled with laughter and shouting from Azian's, Yatie's and Suhana's children. Fun.. so much fun.


But it was sad not to have Liling and Pohling with us.. or else, it will much more fun to have them! Sorry Pohling, I forgotten to let you know about this!

I was so glad to have a great friends like you guys.. I thanks to God to have blessed me with all my friends and having you guys in my life.. Love all of you!

Souvenir For A Wedding..

Tomorrow (18th October) is my sister's wedding.. not a big grand wedding reception, but just a small 'kenduri kesyukuran' with family members and her close friends.

As usual, in every family wedding, we as a family member will donate some cash or souvenir. So, since I don't know what to give (and as well have to budget myself!), Zahir had given me an idea for the wedding souvenir. It's a souvenir pouch contains chocolate.

What do you guys think? It's courtesy of Zahir to do this cute pouch for me.. Isn't he creative? :)

The Performance Class Update.

Our performance class went very well, a few more new steps we've learned. Mogi, the choreographer been very patient teaching us.. he has done a very good job so far.


Heard a rumours that only 3 groups has submitted for the performance, and it means, not much of group from other department are interested to show their talent this year. This is all because of the theme, Shanghai Night. Not much of idea can the other group adapt from the theme for them to do the performance. Surprisingly, the most expected group from Pacifica is not participating in this performance.. we wonder why!

According to the committee from our department, this performance will be canceled if it is less than 5 groups that will take part. So it means, it will be canceled as they're only 3 groups has submitted for this year. But we had prepared ourselves, had bought all the props and a lot of cash has been used.. this show must go on! This is not fare to us. We agreed to have our committee to speak-out during the next committee meeting.

If this performance will be canceled totally, we have to ask for a refund from the committee, by hoke or by crook!! We'll see what will they say about this!! But meantime, we still carry-on with our performance classes..
