Little Boy

For those reading that know me personally (which is probably the case as I doubt those who read my posts are strangers, if there are people who still read these posts), I am someone who rarely shows his emotions in public. Countless friends of Meqsu have asked her how she copes with my inability to show emotions, but she knows and I know I am a different creature around her..heh. The point is, I am known for my quiet nature.If I meet you, yes you meaning any of you, and I seem uninterested, thats just me, don't take offence, I do listen, trust me.

I have continued being emotionless despite getting my car, my second car after the legendary Toyota Celica that served me so well in New Zealand. Although I have not shown it through my facial expression, inside, I am feeling like a little boy who just got an expensive new toy. Alhamdulillah, as stated, I got my car last Wednesday and it is more relief rather than joy, but I am very happy. The car drives great (Its new, sure la great kan...but I remain optimistic nonetheless), thank god, as I didn't even test drive the car before I paid the booking fee. It was quite a spontaneous decision on my part, caused by differing opinions from friends and family. I really was set on buying a second hand car, first choice being an old school BMW, and then a used Vios, but when Mak repeatedly says to me "jangan degil, jangan beli second hand...", I conceded. I am a believer that when Mak says the same thing a few times, I better listen. 

Its a good feeling having that freedom of saying yes to any invitations and not having to ask permission from others. I am so thankful for Mak lending her car to me, which helped a lot with work. But yeah, now I feel like road tripping, haha...It was always my buddies that drove long distance, and now, I can do that. 

Everyone is taking their clothes off

There has been a heat wave in an already warm country. I can safely say, if laws allowed them to go out in public in their underwear, people would. 


Even in the center of Malaysia it has been hot waves of hot air, not necessarily caused by direct sunlight, but the air around us is definitely hot. I am sitting here in the office, a non-air conditioned office, wiping sweat off my forehead every 15 seconds. I may or not be in my boxers shirtless, but I will just leave that to your imagination if that's the case, (imagine me couple of years back eh, if imagine me now maybe you'll start vomitting on top of the headache caused by the heat..haha)


Anyhoo, if there are still anyone else but my self indulgent self reading this post, my confirmation letter to graduate arrived a couple of weeks ago to my relief. I have always been paranoid that I counted my credits wrong, and actually I didn't graduate, and have to be a student again...oh the horror!!. On that note, I will be flying back to New Zealand for my graduation ceremony on the 7th of May. Will have to plan a road trip route soon to take Mak ans Kak Yang around NZ.


I am enjoying my life post-study, even with the impossible clients, the unresponsive printers, and increasing weight. My life has definitely shifted mentally, and alhamdulillah, it has been a good transition so far. Again, FLOW is up and running, and pray that I don't lose my determination in pursuing my dreams, that I do my best, and will never neglect my responsibilities as a muslim. Amin.


I am waiting anxiously for my car to arrive, without seeming too anxious to my friends and family, but I am!. Just want to give mak her car back, so she's not bored at home all the time. Insyallah, soon...please Michelle (salesperson of the showroom), within the next 2 weeks...


This has been good. I will write more.

Things we wish we could do

There are times that you play a scene in your head, things that we wish would happen but would never ever want it to really happen to them because its a bad consequence. I wonder if that warrants a sin. I think it does, but sometimes you just can't help it. 


This always happens when some smart hamba Allah double parked but does not have the decency to stay nearby. I double park but I always make sure i'm at a honks distance so that I can move immediately. When that happens, I always have the urge to take out my imaginary sledgehammer from my car boot, and smashing the car that double parked. Then, I would release the handbreak and move it slightly. Finally I would leave a note saying: 


"I moved your car for you, no need to thank me..."


In other news, I am now on my own employment wise, "self employed", leaving the previous company after just 3 months. Haha. We just decided to part ways, and Alhamdulillah, everything was smooth, and no hard feelings. Wish Louco Media all the best. Enter FLOW MEDIA. 


FLOW MEDIA is up and running and our 3 main services are Brand Consulting, Creative Solutions, and Exhibitions and Events. We are a new company, but not at all inexperienced. We are eager to work and give it our all, pulun habis-habisan. Success or failure, we will see, but we will be giving our best, insyAllah. For any further inquiries, contact me, as our website is still under construction. Pray for me and my company's success people.


And lastly, I would like to turn you attention to 2 blogshops, of my sisters, Kak Linda withe Ar-Raiyan, which sells selendang, scarves, and accessories such as bracelets, and rantai semi-precious stones. And the other is Sugarjude, by sisters in Subang Jaya (dunno if they want to remain anonymous, so to avoid being scolded no need la to mention names..haha) Links are provided on the panel to the right.


Till next time.

I have officially passed all my papers which means that I have graduated from Massey University with a degree in business studies majoring in International Business. Alhamdulillah, I could not have done it with all the prayers from my family and friends. Graduating means I am back for good, won't have to be away from my family, my friends, my Malaysia, my Aslina. It has been a blessed year 2009, tough but rewarding in the end.


I was thinking of changing the blog name and layout and stuff...but I think I'll keep everything for now. I feel the title still serves its purpose for now, (meaning I am too lazy to change everything..heh). 


Life, as I said has been good. Back home for good, after 3 years abroad. Despite most people asking, if I would be bored re-entering working life, I am enjoying it more now after realizing being a student is working hard without getting paid. Its easier I guess, in terms of you have fun most of the time, and work hard for exams and assignments, but at the end of the day, I feel that I have reached a point where I wanna earn my keep another way, through working, and trying my very best not to bother Mak about financials. Its time to grow up. 


I have started working already, continuing for now with Louco Media, a multimedia design company in Ara Damansara. Actually have been working commission based for the past year, but now its full time, full on with Louco. Anyone needs our services please feel free to contact me ya? design, photography, corporate videos, events and consulting. 


Insyallah, me and the family will travel to New Zealand in May for my graduation ceremony, so have to save up for the airfare and the accommodation. Need to plan the trip carefully so everything will flow accordingly...will get on it soon.  


Just thought I would update a bit since the last post was left hanging for some, but most readers of this blog would already know the outcome.
