farah’s corner

I’m still at the office, not whining about my work (apart from feeling lazy tak abih2)…
it’s already 1.10am and there are still many people around… due to my
company is currently being involved in huge international event which
will take place in Langkawi some time next week or the week after….
(which the researchers are not involved)…

but i’m still sitting at the other section, the TIDD(tech division) all by myself…
i tend to be somewhat sentimental when i’m all alone… we here at TIDD
like a huge crazy but happy family… yes we are… here’s where we
chat, discuss and bergossip and not to mention mengarut most of the
time hehe…

it’s well known, not just by TIDDians but many here that in front of me, NEVER mention the word big,huge,besaq,montel,lebaq,tembam,bulat,gedebok,gedebab,boyot dsb…
i’ll reccommend them 2 use "tak berapa nak kecik" instead hahaha, boleh?
if i ever hear these words @kata2 yg sewaktu dgnnya i’ll shout….

"oiiiii….. besaq-besaq jangan sebut aaaaaaaa!!!!"

just
for fun, not that i’m such a sensitive person… till one of our senior
staff in TIDD tend to follow my tagline, it’s just that in her case the
word besaq is changed 2 kecik because she’s totally petite, her
children looks like her siblings…. she, like me has made herself to
be sensitive to any of such word, kecik, haluih,pendek,etc…

speaking of the word kecik,

hmmm… a lot of kecik-kecik events had been going on…
i mean these days a lot kecik hati people i came across, and also, i’m one of them…

have u ever feel kecik hati before? offended?

hmm… it can occur anywhere
with ur family
with ur friends
with ur officemates
with ur neighbours
with ur housemates/roommates
with ur bosses
with ur leaders
with ur husband/wife/gf/bf/fiancee
i have and am experiencing all the above, except the last one huhuhuh…..

lately a heavy and dark atmosphere befall before my office and everything in it…
here and there i hear a lot of pressure, i’m also feeling lots of
pressures lately… so when people become tensed, the tendency of
becoming vulnerable and easily offended is high…

however…

i’m kind of resilient when it comes to this… simply because i dont
want the dark clouds to be on top of me and i can be nasty if i ever
becomes angry…

but dont think that u can hurt me and pass on all the unpleasantries to me… 
but around me, not just the office, i see a lot of inconsiderate people (may Allah forbid me from becoming one of them)…
there are people who simply say whatever they like without thinking how
others might feel about it and when it’s their turn kena kata, they
make such a big fuss about it…

i wonder why… and at that time, nampak macam kita yg jahat…

so my advice….

• think before u speak
• dont joke around if u cant take joke from others
• dont be so sensitive, everybody makes mistakes…
• there’s time and place for everything…
   

so… please accept people around us as the way they are but at the same time dont expect others to understand u all the time…

we are all human, Allah’s humble imperfect creatures… so we all have our defects…
so besabaqla…

• i’ll read more
• force myself to make time to read newspapers (no matter how busy i am)
• never give-up
• never whine bout my work
• always take challenges as opportunity
• learn to love business..
• be more hardworking
• be a more faithful muslimah hahaha

• the new boss of proton was there… and he’s so gorgeous (wink)…
• the chairman of my cluster yawn more then 10times when others were presenting their discussion outputs to finance minister
• i
  cant help to notice that despite of being such important people but
  they indeed have bad habits like korek idung, sneezing as though the
  whole hall will collapse and have bad breath huhu…
• Petronas top gun has noticeable silver hair among others… which make him totally different

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………
nak…….. nyesal… dah la… nak pi makan la…

Somehow i think my mind has been a lil bit idle these days…
i really miss the days that i’ve been working damn hard… i really do…
i wonder why….

Let me see….
Tuesday night i got a call from my state gov and the next day i’m busy applying leave from my office…
I’m
supposed to be away from thursday till the following tuesday, i
sacrificed 4working days and 6days all together… of course that
historical monday(16th July 2007) i’m entitled for an unrecorded leave… will blog about this later… i’m still shocked bout this…

but
anyway… That Monday evening i recieved a call from my colleague
reminding me that we both r supposed 2 attend a 2 days seminar at seri
pacific which will be officiated by our PM, i guess i have 2 cancel off
my tuesday leave and go back that night…

But still…
Monday     : i’m gone (in the historic event)
Tuesday    : Seminar Pan Pac
Wed         : Seminar Pan Pac
Thurs        : Biosafety seminar and workshop by MNRE (Ministry of Natural 
                   Resources and Environment)
Friday       : Visit to MOSTI, then doing some work here and there

I’m barely at the office… and now i’m kind of lost in resuming my work. i Wonder how my bosses work…

Previously
i’m managing a whole bunch of projects in assisting EPU to implement
national agenda in biotech cluster… however, as with most projects
it’s facing a lot of problems and i’m beginnning to feel tak syok with
EPU…

But 2 me that’s not a problem…
I’ve been involved in
this agenda since it’s first establishment meeting back then in
december last year during BioMalaysia 2006. At that time, it was my 5th
day of work (i was really new)…

It has been 8 months since…
i feel rather hard to let go these projects…. because i feel i cant
handle all the things by myself… and besides my bosses wants me 2 be
involved in my actual work as a researcher in assisting a major study
which is being undertaken by MOSTI and Harvard. a bunch of consultant
from US r now in our office, working with us for the study.

i came in halfway…. i really hate that… but i cant stay in my comfort zone forever… i need 2 do what i have 2 do…

Right now i’m multitasking…
I felt a bit berserabut la trying 2 manage 2 different things at a time…
but
this is a challenge… must be more hardworking… i guess after a week
of idleness (as the abovementioned), i must say i’m feeling a bit lazy
2 do work now…

that’s why i’m blogging, so that i get the feel 2 resume my work at the computer…
Gambatte kudasai Farah!!!!

it has been quite a while…

since i last visited my heart…
only
these past few days when i’m falling sick and attending to a more
relaxed environment hence i began to look into the matters of the
heart…

till now, i’ve come across many cases unsettled, being
chucked to one corner and just cant find the way to solve it, although
it’s genuinely non of my concerns…

it has always been typical
of me to listen to others of their woes… as far as i can remember, i
had been a ‘love consultant’ eversince i was in secondary school…. to
think that back then i was the most ‘goody-2-shoes’ among us all and
dont really have a social life (not the toot one aa) with the other gender…

i dont know why my friends like to share their problems with me but i really do appreciate them.

but
however, ever since i grow older, the range of people sharing with me
their heartaches widens to married people and those who u can consider
ur parents and even older…
there are time when u really want 2 help but u dont  know how….

there are several cases remain unresolved or i can still recall till now…
they are all being encountered during my studying back then in UKM… till i graduated…
I’d like 2 share some with you guys…

Case #1
A
married couple, with 4 children, the eldest gonna face spm this year
around. The husband somehow got married to another ‘mek’ which somehow
get the full ctrl of the husband, leaving the 1st wife 2 struggle alone
to raise her kids. She’s a housewife trying to make a living by
struggling 2 open cafes and 2b in small scaled food industry, hardly
successful but never give-up…

However, if their 18 years of
marriage is at the brink of divorce, her life is going 2b difficult.
the husband get fatter chances of custody over the kids as he has
steady income as a businessman, well her…? and anak2 sure jahanam if
bapak tu yg jaga…

so how?

Case #2
a
friend, slightly older than me, eversince i know her, it has always
been annoying to see that she likes very much to be involved in other
people’s relationships..
i do agree that friends do share many things… but not everything… kan?>

there
are are times when i saw her in a car with our friends the couple, with
the girlfriend sitting behind and she’s in front with the guy… what
do u think? if i’m the girlfriend i mengamuk already…
not just
that… during one of our senior’s convo, we brought our friend
(actually nak kenen2kan the senior and our friend) to attend especially
the family will be there, but instead of giving the chance to our
friend to get involved with our senior and his family, this girl takes
full ctrl of the whole scene…

Adus….

Case#3
A man already has steady income with a bright future and agak kaya but liat nak kawin. already is seeing someone but…
and
to add… he likes her, can tell from the way he told us bout her but
at the same time he feel insecure (not really) but he felt that must
have backup…
mana boleh macam tu!!!and he’s not a playboy tau..

is he really serious with that girl???and to think that another girl is quietly investing feelings for him from afar… aiyo…

Case#4
again
about a man, already is seeing a girl, for quite a while already,
years… but then when he started 2 get 2 know another girl, he is
secretly seeing her, calling her, watching movies blablabla… all the
things that he shouldn’t be doing…

and he’s actually playing around… and would defend the older relationship… what will happen 2 the second girl??? victim…
and the girl really do feel the hots for him!

i really feel sorry. i do agree that it needs 2 to tango but who made the first move?

So… the above are among the things that i keep on facing… and to think that MAN is always the root of all miseries and problems in the world… if only they can learn to appreciate women more..

so in the cases… What would u do, if ur there in their places?in my pace as a listener…???

mmm….

these past few days i’ve been in my worst health
eversince i land myself here in putrajaya… but i cant deny that these
days i have been so lifted, so light like a feather…

however, this is not about my work…
i’m done rambling bout my work…
it’s just a never ending story….

just to say…
did
u recall in my previous post that i did come 2 my office last sunday in
a very poor health at night and i stayed back till 4am in da morning i
did blog first bout going 2 bagan lalang etc?
it was during my
stayback, a whole bunch of my officemates were downstairs at PjH
roundabout, celebrating our senior’s birthday. I was upstairs
faithfully blogging (lepas tu buat keje la)…

it was during that time one of them looked up and saw a lady (free hair) at the window, going thru some file….

huhuhuhuhuh
and i know nobody was around!!!
man… not again…?!

That goes for last week….

this weekend apa dah jadi?
these past few days, i have not been so healthy. i was being born
asthmatic as it’s being embedded in my chromosomes (both my parents had
asthma history up their lineage)…
and i’m the unlucky one who among my siblings to be blessed with this…

wont go into detail in that, just to let yall know, since i’m in
putrajaya, i didnt get any asthma attack at all… it went really well
till last thursday…

dasar tak sedaq diri#1
my body was weak and i end up coming half day on friday since i have
meeting. and yet after that i actually followed my officemates lepak at
mamak restaurant in precinct 9 (our very favourite lepak spot) and then
head straight to cyberjaya stadium to see our company playing futsal
against InnoBio (our brotherly company)…. i was wearing a black jubah
that time (what an attire to be in a stadium!!)

dah la tu, sempat lagi lepak pulak kat our port after the match (sesi
post mortem aka pengumpatan). i end up balik rumah late, around 11
pm… so straight to bed because i began to feel tight in my chest (
another attack)…

dasar tak sedaq diri#2

These days aku ni kuat berjalan…
(drive around actually, kalau betoi2 jalan dah sekerempeng dah aku ni)

I didnt get the chance to blog out last week sebab these days some much things need 2b done and yet still undone…
Tak kira nak blog jugak because after this i’m gonna resume my work where i have to karang some story bout my work… (boring and tiring)… so, just 2 get the feel, kita blog dulu!!!

Last sunday one of my house mate kawen, so me and my other housemate make it a point to attend and the wedding took place in a far2 away land called sabak bernam… it’s between kuala selangor and tanjung karang… a place yg haku tak penah jejak… well to think i did go to K. s’gor before during one of my field trips back then when i was in university but manalah nak ingat, dah lama tu.. besides, i was doozing the entire journey in da bus huhu…

so… without a single clue of the area, kami pun main redah le… but i did ask my officemates and pierre andre who happen to have relatives nearby (sekinchan i mean)… at last after 3 hours of journey we made it… (add another 2 hours dah blh sampai penang huhu)…
just to say map kat kad kawen is not being helpful at all!!as always…

takpe la kasi discount, because before we went back into kesesatan, her husband had been kind enuff draw us a very comprehensive map for the convenient of our journey back, mmg pun…. didnt take more than 2 hours 2 reach putrajya using guthrie express way (which sadfully to say tak penah lalu) and we got to klia highway where there’s an exit to putrajaya on the way…

the exit took us somewhere we are not familiar of, but actually it took us to one of putrajaya’s artistic bridge that we always passby on our way to work from our house in desa pinggiran putra if we are to use the PICC way, not the alamanda way. we soon identify that area as our future jogging spot (hahahahahahahahaha)

well…
at least i do spend some quality time menyesatkan diri with my house mate which is 3 years older then me. or else during weekend i will either:

• be at the office (which is i have no choice)
• be in keramat at my aunt’s home/wangsa maju at my bro’s
• have some programs with my officemates (new on the list-dash ada improvement ni)

so she will lepak kat rumah sengsorang.. pity her though… dont worry, mate, it’s not everyweekend i’ll be away… (yeah rite… see my next blog)

This is not the end
