I need some time away from work. I think work has become so frustrating and unbearable. They keep wasting my time by giving me unnecessary & wasting time kind of tasks and it takes a long time for me to finish them!!
I listened to Adam's Song-Blink 182 for a few times today. The only times that I listen to that song continuosly is when I feel so down and sad. I hate the fact that my bosses could not understand my problem. They dont want to promote me but keep asking me to do work that is beyond my capabilities. Even my previous senior did not do what I am currently doing now. It's unfair for them to treat me this way since they know that it's hard to get a new job these days and I can't simply resign as I have a child to betaken care of.
Sad stories aside, I would like to share with you guys on my lovely but tiring weekend.
Saturday
We went to Kuala Pilah to visit my Mum In Law's new err step-nephew?? We, means me, Zahed,Laith and MIL. Her step brother was having an occassion that we would call Aqiqah. The lil boy is so cute.I'll upload the photos below k. I'll continue typing while I know what to say :p. After visiting them, we headed to PD. In case if you are wndering why do I always go to Port Dickson, well my reason is because it's the nearest beach to KL. We have better beaches in other states, and so far I think the best are in Sabah. Used to love going to beaches back when I was living in Sabah.We had dinner in PD and then we headed home. Mind you my lil boy talked so much that day. He was quite a chatterbox and still is lol.
Sunday
Zahed had to work on Sunday so I called up my big brother Ericq to hang out with me :p Can't think of anyone else that I can trust with my baby..oh yea I trust my lil sis in law but she wasnt around that day too. Zahed took us to visit my sick grandpa in HUKM in the morning. We were lucky Zahed was wearing his uniforms so we were able to visit my grandpa although it wasnt visiting hours.
Later we went home and Zahed pushed off to work. Me and brother decided to go to The Curve. I went to daiso again. The funny thing is, my brother too buy a lot of stuff from there. He was shocked when I told him that everything was sold for RM5.We went left at about 5pm to one of my brother's friend's place. Had Mc Donald's for dinner and then my bro sent me home and he spent the night at our place
Oh I forgot to mention that Laith woke up at 6am on both days and wont go back to bed. So i ended up not getting enough sleep.That lil boy would talk so loud which made it for me to ignore him lol
So here are the photos
i think i'll put up the photos when I'm at home coz the internet in the office is super slow!!

ends my weekend :(
Had a blast on Saturday. Met up with Jep, Shima n Chep for a movie.... dah berbulan tak jumpe Jep. Watched New Moon... and I must say, Jacob memang hot hahahahahahah.
Ate at Madam Kwan's since the food court was full... jalan2.. tangkap gambar, then balik. Takde la bnyak pun aktiviti aritu, tapi it was an enjoyable day with some awesome company :D
Today went to Muar to see the newest addition to our family, Alya. Didn't see much of the baby pun sebab baby tido... kitorang bz makan dan borak dan tgk TV hahahahahahahhaa.
haih.. so not looking forward to tomorrow.
(i still like you)
I planned to have lunch in the office coz I packed a lunchbox from home. However, had to go home coz hubby left his car keys in my car and he has to go to work after lunch.
Well, going home for lunch is something I like actually coz I get to spend some time with Laith. came home and saw him asleep.But I came nearer he opened his eyes and smiled. Gosh my heart melted instantly.
Me and Zahed took him for a car ride and during our ride, I saw a police car driving on the wrong side of the road. The siren was on and they headed into our neighbourhood street. Then a few kilometres ahead we saw a guy hand cuffed and he was stopped by a guy. I had a good look on the guy's face and I think he has trhat sorry look.. I felt sorry for him. It made me think, some people does crime because they are desperate. I've heard of people who rob because he wanted to pay his daughter's hospital bill. I kinda imagined that he was going through the same thing. But that would never make a wrong thing right.We must always remember that there's God and no matter what hardship we go through, He knows very well that we are capable to go through it.
So here's some photo from lunch
Aloha everyone!!
Look who's back!! I have been thinking for a while and I think I should update my vox once in a while, perhaps I could prost cross from here or vice versa. I miss my Vox Community very much. I hope you guys will still accept me :)Ok a proper update, here it is.
Since it has been a while since my last proper post, I'll make a proper annoncement here. I have given birth to a lovely baby boy. And his name is Ahmad Laith Zohair. We call him Laith or the little Lion :o) He was born on 18th July 2009 weighing 3.5kg and he's gonna be 5 months soon :)
I am still working with the same company but Madam PC has resigned a year ago. She took VSS Voluntary Separation Scheme taking home a HUGE amount of $$$. I never really get how VSS work. Paying people that much money just to let them leave?? But as long as it's good news on my side, I must never complain.
I am still into photography, but havent much time. So my main model is little Laith. I have upgraded my D70 to D90! Whoohoo but sadly I never really had time to spend with it. So most of the time it stays in the bag with the lenses begging for me to take her out. SIGH *yes i still SIGH as much as I did LOL*
Remember how I used to complain how far my parents are, well they have decided to move here. They'll settling down in Kuala Lumpur in the middle of this month :) So instead of driving 7 hours to see them, now it takes less than an hour. Yay!!
Whats a post without any photos right?
isnt he the cutest?? im referring to Laith :p but yea Zahed is super duper cute too :p
Taraaa
Most of my vox neighbours have migrated to other blog service provider most of them moved to their own host.. its this time of the year where I miss looking at colourful posts on xmas decorations,xmas food..
I miss you guys if you are reading this!!!! :( and for those who are still here, I do visit your blog every now n then to keep myself updated HUGSSS
Dah 2 bulan tak update.. nice..
What have I been up to lately? Not much...
The office moved from Cyber tu Menara TM... which sucks balls. It effin small, toilet STINKS, people just don't know how to use the fucking toilet, AND ITS CRAMPED! There's practically NO parking at all from 10 onwards... bodoh tak bodoh pindah tempat camtu?
I'm working tomorrow FYI... bodoh kan? Tapi dpt cuti Monday + Tuesday... coz I have Annual Leave to clear before the end of this month.. after this I have to clear 1.5 days more to go.
Aku... sangat rasa cam cibai harini.... dalam kereta ada rasa macam nak nangis.... aku tak suke. Sangat tak suke. It's more dissapointing dan sakit hati going out with someone who is half hearted to go somewhere with you, rather than being told that they had other things planned beforehand. It just hurts. Aku bukan nak keluar nak sedih/stress/emo. Kalau camtu baik aku duduk rumah depress sorang2. Jadi kawan-kawan.. moral of the storyy, kalau rasa tanak keluar, ada plan lain, takde mood, dan yg sama waktu dengannya, please, do tell me because I do not like to go out and at the end of the day, feel more shitty than I did before I went out. It just defeats the whole purpose.
Dah.. aku nak kemas baju n tido.. After work tomorrow I'm going back to Kelantan with my brother... Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all.
Well, the weather outside is frightful and the MOO warehouse staff are getting ready for the Holiday rush. Our trusty elves are enjoying their last silent night before a few weeks of rigorous stocking stuffing. Soon your MOO orders will be walking in the air and climbing down your chimney.
You'll need to make sure you get your orders placed before our cut off dates, as we would not want you to have a blue Christmas. We thought you may want to see some of our packers at work in the MOO grotto, so here are some festive snap shots from our Rhode Island office...
If you're worried about your cards getting stolen by frosty the snowman, then we are offering a London, UK collection special. If you want to collect your order, simply send us your order number via the contact form, quoting your order number and "COLLECTION" in the subject line. We'll then flag your order for collection and give you instructions on how/where to collect your order. This is for a limited time only (until the 16th December), so be sure to get your order in ASAP.
Freelance life can be tough. Long gaps between commissions. Accounts departments who just can't seem to find your invoice. Not to mention the ever-present need to get your work seen by the people who count.
Jonny Wan, a freelance illustrator from Sheffield, knows all about that. A graduate of the Manchester School of Art, he's constantly striving to ensure his unique illustrative style (think abstracted facial expressions, patterns, symmetry and hand-drawn lettering) snags the attention of creative directors everywhere – and he does so via Business Cards and Postcards from MOO.
MOO first caught his eye at his university degree show, where he noticed that all the students' cutest promo materials were produced by the same company – MOO! Then we tempted him with a free Business Card sample, giving him a chance to try our ordering software ("simple, logical and gives the user complete control") and evaluate our print quality and finishing ("very pleasing"). Duly hooked, Jonny ordered a set of Postcards and some Business Cards featuring a range of his work, and is preparing to send them off to art directors as we speak.
As an illustrator, working in a visual medium, presentation is very important to Jonny. "I like to make little promotional packs of my postcards and business cards", he says. "I send them out packaged in self-seal clear bags. It's good to put real thought into how the art director receives your promo materials – it's boring to just whack some cards in an envelope."
Like many creative types, Jonny's happiest when he's working, even between commissions. An example of this is his self-initiated "Can't Afford It" project. Whenever he wants an item of clothing he can't afford, he draws it instead! Eventually to be self-published as a book, working like this helps him improve his work rate, hone his Photoshop and Illustrator skills, and keep his unique style fresh and ever-evolving.
No matter how his style develops, MOO's short print runs means that his promotional materials are always in step with his latest work. "As an illustrator, your style is always changing and improving. The last thing you want is to end up with a thousand cards of the same design. You need to keep existing and future clients up to date with your freshest, latest work, because essentially they will hire you based on what they see on your promo material. It's no good for an art director to commission you only to find that your illustrative style has changed or moved on." He laughs. "After all, you wouldn't be happy buying a Jay-Z CD to find a Metallica disc inside, right?"
When designing his cards, Jonny also took advantage of a new feature that allows users to upload images for both the front and the back of the Business Cards. "Anything that gives you more options allows room for creative control – and it's that kind of flexibility that keeps me coming back to MOO. The ability to upload images for both sides of the Business Cards enables you to make the cards completely unique."
"A business card is usually the first point of contact between a new client and an illustrator, so it's important your card jumps out at people while being straight and upfront with your contact details. The fact that the cards can be individual rather than generic also gives a sense of professionalism – people can be impressed that you've put the effort into designing your own cards. A little effort can go a long way."
Jonny's constantly thinking of new ways to promote his work using MOO products. "I love the Stickers – I can see them being a very unique selling point. They're a little different and unexpected, which is beneficial in an industry where everyone strives to promote themselves in a unique way."
MiniCards appeal to him for the same reason. "MiniCards are great because they get straight to the point and don't take up a lot of space. Art directors get bombarded with samples every morning. They open their mail and have to make snap decisions about what to keep and what to chuck."
"They're more likely to pin a MiniCard onto their noticeboard than, say, a leaflet, because they know it won't take up a lot of space. And if your work's on their noticeboard, they're more likely to bear you in mind when it comes to commissioning. And that's what it's all about!"
Thanks for talking to us Jonny! We look forward to seeing more of your work soon.
Like Jonny's work? He's available for commissions so get in touch, and say hello from us too.
(again, this is just satire)
Yang Dipertua,
It has come to my attention that slapping is now being a culture among Malaysians, particularly amongst teachers and students for their late attendance to classes. As such I wish to propose measures to ensure equality amongst Malaysians, as per the 1 Malaysian motto’s wish to increase performance.
Firstly, since students arriving 10 minutes late to classes will be slapped, teachers who arrives late of the same duration, or leaves classes early of the same duration, will be receiving a slap from every member of the class.
This also applies to students and lecturers in our higher learning centres.
Similarly, this culture must also be implemented in the workplace to encourage performance of employees as well as employers.
The slapping of employees arriving 10 minutes late to work will be encouraged, as will the slapping of managers by all his subordinates for arriving late of the same duration.
This culture will also be implemented into contractors who are late in their construction projects. For every 10 minute delay, the government, or owner of the project, and the financiers, are allowed to slap the contractor and members of the crew.
Similarly, to encourage the culture within the government, all government projects that are delayed will be punished with a slap for every 10 minute delay for the minister whose signature approved said project. The rakyat will also be allowed to take part in this culture. If the rakyat were to meet an MP that has yet to keep an electoral promise within his area, he is encouraged to slap the fellow MP for each 10 minute delay he has made for implementing his promises.
Yang Dipertua,
If somehow slapping a student for being 10 minutes late will encourage him to come in early and be on time, then I suggest, with our culture being one that wishes to put ‘performance now’, then we as the government should be the first to experience and put this into practice.
*slaps Anwar for failing his government takeover last September 16*
