freak-o-rama

I can't seem to log in to my YM v9.0 today. After so many attempts, nothing. So I logged into my yahoomail and chatted through the web mail browser thingy. Funnily though, I just realized this, my password used to be ****** till I changed it to *************. Tapi sometimes dia auto log-in right, and the bila disconnect, you have to log in again, and at the username box it'll be lyricaldj and password ******. hmmm.. bukankah my password is ************* ? and even kat office pun, desktop at home and office, mmg akan keluar ****** and everytime I change the password manually and then save it, bila nak log in, it'll appear ******... watsup YM ?

Oh yes, I wanted to write about this. Ever heard someone saying log in as login (loh-jean) instead of log in (logh-in)? Well, I have. My communist ex-boss. wonder where she's working now ?

How about this.. that's mean, instead of that means ? Oh horror!

Label baru : Wishlist

After coming back from the post office, lps dah kenyang makan, 20 mins chat wif m.s.o (my significant other), FB-ed a little (bubuh status agak glabah nak gi OU to do some serious shopping hehehe), and having zohor prayers, I went to One Utama with Din. I think she did the more serious shopping cause I did some serious window shopping instead. hehe.

See I have a list of 8 things that I wanna buy (for now) and I wanna carefully choose it and get the best deal from this whole year end sale. I have identified 2 items out of the 6 that I wanna buy. One of it is Salvatore Ferragamo's F for Fascinating. I was truly fascinated by it's fascinating smell. Nice. Very fresh, womanly, tak menyakitkan hidung, not so strong and has a mild florally smell. Just like I was looking for. But I also fell in love with Sean John's Unforgivable for Woman.



Torn between the two. But I still have time to survey, mana tahu tiba2 ada perfume lain that I might like. See I'm not much of a perfume person. I will buy one and use it till the last drop. The last perfume I bought was Paris Hilton's Paris which lasted me for almost 1 year. Not bad la the smell. But I tried Britney's perfume, my god, tak sedap langsung, seriously.. So see la how.. I haven't had the oh-my-god-i -have-to-have-it-now feeling yet. perhaps when i have that, then i'll just get either one.. :) or maybe both.. heheheh.. if i get a good deal :)

The other item that I have identified is something yang agak personal lah jugak..(nanti when the time is right I will blog about it) But I am certain that I wanna get it.. Just waiting for the best price :) yippie-ya-yo-kai-yeaaaa

oh yes, any other suggestion on perfumes ?

moral of the story : jgn curi parking org or main honk2

What's cool about working where I work (although its damn far) is that when Selangor cuti, we all pun cuti. So yesterday, we had our 1 day cuti and to those who wants a long weekend would take today off. or who would want the whole week off, took Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday off (like most people in my office, that's why I am alone here).

So I took the opportunity to settle my errands (actually most of my errands dah settle tggal satu ni jer). I went to the post office near Petronas TTDI , dekat2 Persiaran Maarof tu (the nearest post office to PJ that was open sbb KL area). It took me quite some time to locate a parking space. Since the post office is situated near Petronas, semua orang nak park kat Petronas. After making 3 rounds (lalu Maybank belah kanan, Secret Recipe, pusing at KFC and passby Santai), I finally saw a parking space betul2 in front of the post office entrace.

Yes!

And at the very moment I wanted to flick my right hand to make a signal, suddenly out of no where, a red proton saga dengan penuh selamba zaaasss took my parking space while giving me that ko pehal??? look. (tanda ??? kena repeat 3kali for attitude)

OMG!! WTF??

I was dumbfounded. flabbergasted. perplexed. astounded. semua lah. in simple words, terkedu because some idiot just took my parking space.

and during that 3 seconds of terkejutness, a lady who had a mix-mat salleh look driving a dark blue 5 series BMW gave me a honk that made me jump a little sambil melatah, OH mak ngkau!. She also gave me that Oi cepat la sket!!! look. (tanda !!! kena repeat 3kali for attitude jugak)

Damn you woman! baru je 3 saat. sabar la. orang nak masuk gear 1 ni. but probably it felt like 3 hours to her, looking at the the way she was driving, mcm tengah kejar something jer, kejar masa kot.

So, ok la. in my heart I was saying this Sabar Dora sabar. But in actual fact i was cursing away. Finally I decided to park my car kat depan rumah2 by Persiaran Maarof. Saman kena ke tak? Gamble la.. lagi pun bukannya lama pun (so I thought).

I walked to the post office about 253 steps from my parking space (i have really small steps) and I saw a lot of people hanging out by the door.

MasyaAllah punya lah ramai orang! So I pressed "A" for Kaunter Pelbagai and look at my number.

Your number is 1252.
The current number is 1162.
Please take a seat and we will attend to you shortly. (90 org beza? shortly, you say?)

Hm, take a seat ? where? the post office was packed with all walks of people. tua, muda, bertongkat, people with really cool pda phones, girls with sunglasses (must be hot in the post office), oh and yes.. I saw the guy who took my parking space (wah syoknya dpt tempat duduk) and the BMW lady who honked at me (constantly looking at her watch, probably a Rolex, ye, ada ciri2 mengejar masa).

Sigh. I saw an empty seat at the very front row in front of Kaunter Pelbagai 2 (for some reason, people rather stand than sitting at the front row).

Ting. Satu Satu Enam Tiga (1163).

Yeay, lagi 89 orang to go! hmm... I sat holding my handbag and looked at the counters anxiously. Nape la tak bawak something to read. At that moment I was hungry (as always), perplexed, anxious and just bored. I didn't wanna look like some girl waiting for another 89 people before her turn, so I buat2 busy dengan mengeluarkan my pink Motorola Razr and text Din.

Nape la pos ofis kat ttdi ni ramai sgt? lagi 90 org.. mane2 aku gi ramai org.

Suddenly I remembered, I had that German for Dummies book I carry in my bag since forever. So I took it out and tried to kill my time reading it. I finished a page and then
Ting. I quickly look at my number and heard the words saying Satu Satu Enam Empat (1164). Sigh..

Suddenly, I realized that I needed to fill the form to take the rebate, so I asked around and took the form and head back to my seat and started to fill it up. As I was taking my time slowly writing, a lady about late 50s (LAL 50) who looked like a pension high school teacher probably taught BM or English asked me,

LAL 50 : Dik, semua orang ambik borang apa tu?

Dora : Borang untuk Road Tax rebate makcik. Kena isi borang sebelum nak dapat rebate tu Makcik.

LAL 50 : Oh really.. We missed it. My car is dued in March, dia boleh start claim if your car is dued in April kan ?

Dora : ye makcik

LAL 50 : Tu la so I have to wait for the next one (gelak kecil..)

Dora: ooo ye ke.. hehe.. kena tunggu la.. tapi next year pun tak lama lagi.. it's end of 2008 already :)

So after having small chats with LAL 50 which was friendly, she said to me,

LAL 50 : Dik, I kesian tgk no u, lame lagi kan ? I think that would take another hour or so.. I tell you what, I'm just paying some ASTRO bills, why don't u tumpang je la my number skali.. you help me pay for my bills and then you settle kan la ur road tax rebate, i tggu sini.. my number lagi 10 org je...

Dora : (Baiknya makcik ni! alhamdulillah) yer ker makcik? oooo okay... thanks a lot (sambil senyum lebar dan lega)

Not long after that, her number came up and I paid her bills while she sat at her place, I gave her her receipts and thanked her again. Then I got my rebate. yeay!

As I walked out, I saw the guy who took my parking space and the BMW lady, I walked near the guy and said, "you nak nombor saya ke ? saya dah habis.. " he showed me his number with a ha enes poyonyer kau.. (kali ni dia ckp ada ... sbb intonasi malu tapi ego) "ooh nombor u lagi awal.. takpe lah i bagi orang lain (senyum sinis) " and i did the same to the BMW lady.. and finally I gave it to an old Chinese guy who looked like he really wanted an earlier number..

At that moment, I became RM625 richer, happy and no longer dumbfounded. [terima kasih LAL 50.. i never knew her name.. nice lady though]

Moral of the story, sila jangan curi parking org.. or honk sbb nak kejar masa..

9 attractive qualities women look for in a guy

I got this from yahoo.com.. do you agree ladies ? hehehehe


Sense of Humor

Everyone says how important sense of humor is, and I have learned to look for it in women. I am lucky enough to be able to make women laugh, but I'm still super single.

Trustworthy

Trust is the holy grail of a relationship. It takes years to build it, and it is so delicate. There are few things that take so long to attain that can be destroyed so quickly. So a lot of us may finally settle on a very trustworthy person when we finally find that.

Kindness

This seems like a no-brainer, but I've seen plenty of girls stay with guys who don't treat them well. So, I'm thinking that most women look for a nice guy, but the fact of the matter is that mean guys seem to get girlfriends too-and at a better rate than nice guys.

Money

I admit it: I sometimes envision myself marrying rich and sitting there doing nothing. I could lie out on my wife's yacht and host lavish parties and hear about how crazy the Roaring 20's were, when my wife's friends were my age. Money is definitely high on a lot of people's list: remember when Anna Nicole Smith married that really old rich guy? I doubt it was because she thought he was hot, funny, or great in the sack.

Super Hot

As much as we hate to admit it, the first thing we notice about someone else is how good or bad they look. But one of the first lessons we learn in the dating world is as beautiful as someone is on the outside, they could be ugly on the inside.

Confident

Confidence is based on a lot of these characteristics. You are confident if you are talented, super hot, intelligent, or wealthy most likely. But confidence also enables you to treat people better, so you are kind and trustworthy as well. Because confidence includes so many of these other characteristic, it may just be the one major thing women look for in a man.

Talented & Passionate

When someone possesses a special skill, such as visual art or guitar virtuosity, they get tons of girls. People like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Brady can go out with anyone they want because they are skilled. Heck, I'd go out with them. Usually skill occurs in tandem with passion, another attractive quality. When someone is really good at something, but not "hot," it makes sense that they can still attract a lot of women. It's less annoying to see someone like this in a relationship than it is to see a rich mean guy in a relationship.

Intelligent

I am intimidated by women who are more intelligent than I am (which explains why I'm intimidated by about 97% of the female population). For a lot of people, intelligence is sexy. When someone is stupid, it's frustrating and boring, which is enough to drive someone away.

Convenient

One can argue that convenience is a huge driver for a relationship. Does he live near you, is he "ready" to be in a relationship, does he want to have kids or not? Everything matches up correctly. Sure, he may not be the best-looking guy or have a lot of money, but it's just what you need and it's been a long, difficult search.

If we put these characteristics on a pie chart, what would get the biggest piece of the pie with you? Again, some of these characteristics occur together: intelligence and wealth, talent and passion, kindness and generosity, convenience and wealth.

How often do women care about superficial things like money? It's scary, but sometimes I fear that no matter how funny I am, if I had lots of money I could date any cute girl I wanted.

How do all of these characteristics shake out for you when choosing a boyfriend, and are there any you'd add to the list? Does confidence just take all of these characteristics into consideration?

kembali

Yup. they're back. I used to be a huge fan of Butterfingers. my favourite album was and still is butter worth pushful.. and my favourite was the viopipe (of course lagu favourite semua org tahun 97 - 98) and i used to humm this song, Ruined by the selling out.. during afternoon prep while doing AddMaths and of course their best selling album Transcendence had The Chemistry, Epitome and Faculties of the mind which very much relate to their studying life.. I could really relate to their music during that time..

But once they came out with Malayneum, (sorry to say la butterfans), they sucked big time.. seriously.. and i stopped becoming a fan almost instantly.

One day I was driving back to work, and I tuned to Era.Fm and heard this terrible song and guess what, it was Butterfingers' Bebas.. lyrics hancur.. and I almost gagged to it.. "INI LAGU BUTTER YG BARU ????"

I thought after Emmet came back from studying in Canada (amek Actuarial Science tu), they would make a really KAPOWW comeback! sadly no.. the very much awaited butterfingers album was a disappointment.. sorry to mock butterfingers, i was a huge fan.. i had almost all their albums, even went to gigs to see them perform (zaman muda2 dulu.. ala - ala K.A.M.I hehehe) but apa dah jadi kat our local music scene ? Butterfingers I hope you guys come up with some brilliant songs.. like the ones you guys did before.. please don't do it for the sake of selling albums and selling artist-english-nak-terapkan-unsur-unsur-Melayu concept songs. Ironically, their songs are literally ruined by the selling out... Marah dak dak MCKK.. hehe.. but I think those who are followers of Butters would agree with me.. rite ?

Ampun ya. Just my honest opinion ja..

There's Gotta Be More To Life

I'm listening to Stacie Orrico's voice singing "there's gotta be more to life..than chasing down every temporary high.. to satisfy me... " on Hitz. (Rudy and JJ dah split btw and it's JJ and Ean now.. )

I think what Stacie is going through is what most people are going through also.. always wanting more in life.. which is good.. it makes you strive harder for your future.. but there is one part of life that makes it balanced is being content with your state.. of course Islam encourages us to work hard to succeed in life and also being wasatiah in leading our lives.

I have a confession. Although I have a good steady job with a fairly ok-pay, alhamdulillah.. but do you ever feel that sometimes, something is missing.. ?

Perhaps I haven't been sincere to myself during work.. Perhaps I haven't been praying hard enough.. (lps smbhyg je doa sket and terus lipat sejadah cepat2).. Perhaps I should be doing something but I didn't and that's why I feel this emptiness.. Bukan empty apa .. just.. empty... Yes, there's gotta be more to life.. Perhaps time is a factor.. I'm always chasing time.. Always thinking about time.. the past, the present, the future.. is there enough time? Will there be time? I need more time.. And ironically though, the time spent thinking about 'time' itself has already been occupied when I could use the time to execute my actions.

I realized this during one of the talks I attended during Ramadhan. Someone said, "Luangkan sedikit masa untuk Allah, dan Allah akan meluangkan masa untuk kita.. " I watched the crowd when this person was saying this to the public.. some listened attentively, some were dozing off.. and I thought wow.. what this person just said was a big hit to me.. it hit me hard.. if i could spend an hour to watch House and another hour to watch Chuck on AXN, and I only spend 5 X 5 = 25 minutes for prayers ? or maybe less.. I feel ashamed of myself..

Kenapa tiba2 mcm Islamic dan sangat alim Dora ? I don't know.. I am not being poyo or what.. I am not that ustazah telling you what to do or what not to do.. I guess I am going through a self-realization moment.. I guess I want to share it here kot.. I might forget later on.. today, tomorrow, next week or next year.. I hope when that happens, Allah will give me a message or a sign so that I remember.. The korban event was a real eye opener to me...

Eid Ul Adha

Apakah ertinya Pengorbanan ?

Yesterday I watched korban for the first time at my housing area masjid.. It was indeed an experience I will never forget. I brought my two nephews, Ashraf and Farhan to witness korban. And Farhan just hugged my kaki while peeping by the side the whole time, really cute.. and when he saw it on the news about korban, he goes "lembu!lembu!".. smart baby..

What I wanna share is that I feel how shallow my knowledge is about Islam and its histories. I forgot about the korban story and I had to ask my mom to understand the true message conveyed through this whole event.. I also did some search through the internet and I just found out that there are some fatwa saying that korban is wajib for people who mampu.. And I pity myself. I felt pity because here I am spending my $ for myself and I didn't even do korban. Of course I wanted to but at the very last minute, tak sempat. I hope if ada rezeki yang cukup dan umur yang panjang, I would like to do korban one day.. insyaAllah..

Watching people at the masjid gotong royong potong2 daging and helping each other made me realize how strong the ukhwah is among the Muslim society in Kg Tunku. The smile on everybody's faces, how they willingly helped without the hopes of any balasan, but because of keikhlasan.. I felt sorry for myself for not witnessing this is the past Aidiladha before.. I kept on thinking about my own sellfish life, my own schedule, and how I am soo busy to go to the mosque to witness korban but how I can make time to go to Midvalley or The Curve and how I forgot that Aidiladha is a meaningful event, not just a public holiday and staying at home to enjoy another day not going to work. Aidiladha is more than that.. It is pengorbanan seseorang tanpa mengharapkan balasan, korban kerana ikhlas, korban kerana Allah swt... I pity myself.. for I have been oblivion about the beauty of Islam..

So what is the true meaning of korban for you ? Salam Aidiladha to all Muslims around the world.. May this korban be a meaningful event to you as it was to me... :)

Will post some pictures soon..

long december

Yes, i changed the colors of my blog again. It's navy blue this time. I'm going all blue now.

Well, it's a Long December.. and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last.. (counting crows). I really need to update my mp3 player to some new songs.. Haven't been able to dload them through limewire lately.. I have no idea why..

So, what's up with me ? Well, to be honest, nothing much really. I renewed my car insurance and road tax and will be getting the RM625 soon insyaAllah.. woohoo! Actually I was quite worried they might have some problems renewing my road tax due to some saman I haven't paid since 2006 (ahaks). teruk kan ? apa nak jadi Dora ? Zoey Jane (my myvi) will turn 3 years old tomorrow.. Happy Birthday Zoey Jane! I'm gonna take her for jalan jalan kot on the weekend.. and treat her with some nice carwash and vacuum ... love my car...

Well this post is really pretty random.. no mind stimulating, thought provoking thoughts for now.. I cooked fried beef macaroni just now and it was D-licious (enak! bak kata Ashraf, my 7 year old nephew who just bersunat on Tuesday).. Office was ok, I tertidur during lunch hour (i do not know how and why it happened.. it just did) can you believe it ? tengah2 buat kerja, suddenly I had backache because my posture was not right sbb tertido.. how can that happen? was I too tired or sleepy ? I dunno.. perhaps..

Nothing much planned for the weekend (since I was excited over last weekend and it turned out I didn't go out.. so I'm planning not to plan anything for this weekend.. although it's gonna be a long one..

Oklah, I guess I'm gonna watch some tv till I doze off.. I changed my sidebars if you noticed..
Will blog some more when I have something thought provoking to blog about.. ok?

Later readers.. Happy Raya Haji
