insured

My car is insured now.Paid almost a thousand bucks for it coz I wanted to get my wind screen insured as well ;) Still...........I haven't gotten around to getting the damn road tax renewed coz it is such a hassle to get all the paperwork done so I've been pretty much driving around with a dead road tax :p I know......it's been a month already.

If I ain't so busy working,I'll be sick.I was on MC for so long and eventually,my mum and Shu threatened to get me hospitalized coz my cough went on for more than a week.I am so sick of cough mixtures.I hate gargling the stupid throat medicine coz I tend to choke on it.I hate pee-ing coz it smells aweful from all those antibiotics I've been taking.It's been a pretty miserable week.My throat still have not recovered but I'm trying to ignore it.

House cleaning and laundry are still my favorite weekend past time ^_^

bleeding tonsil and dying fishes

It started with a minor flu.........I was sneezing every now and then.Weird.I usually don't have a sensitive issue when it comes to allergies.Maybe it was the aircond right above my head at my cubicle.Since I start work at midnight,I'd usually bring along and wear a hoodie.I guess this time the hoodie wasn't good enough.I was sneezing and then I had a minor case of runny nose and then I started coughing.Just a little bit.My throat got worse.I asked my SME for some time off coz I needed to get myself checked.Now,I'm grounded at home with bad fever every now and again.My sleeping time is off and I can hardly fall asleep when I am supposed to.

My throat itches which causes bad coughs would keep me up all day.Sometimes,I can't even breathe and sometimes it hurts so much that my whole body aches.I really want to get better soon coz I can't seem to get much done in this condition.It's gonna be the weekend and I really don't want to be the reason my husband has to stay home coz our usual weekends consists of a 10-hour outing.This is not looking good.

I left my car at my workplace the way I usually would during emergencies like last month when I started throwing up so much within 4 hours of working time.My husband rushed me to the hospital and I left my car at the office.I think I left it there for almost 2 days.Well,I left my car on Wednesday morning at about 4am coz that's usually my lunch break.I only went to get it some time in the afternoon today.

Oh yeah,we are very concerned about sudden many deaths of our guppies.WTF went wrong?!

time off

After a whole week of nothingness at work...........my husband and I decided to just maximize our lepak hours.What we did was,after work,we went home to freshen up a bit and then hit the road.We were both trying to figure out where to have breakfast so finally,Shu said "......are you tired?.............let's go to Kampung Baru............"We drove all the way to KL for breakfast.After that,we were trying to figure out what we were gonna do to kill time.Shu said "Ya know what.......I feel like going to the Zoo......."And so we did.We spent 3 hours walking around looking at them animals.The tigers looked like they were trying to get out and bite someone's head off.That would have been a totally fun thing to watch.I kept thinking WHAT IF I picked up some random annoying kid and threw him into the tiger's cage...........WHAT IF...........THAT would have been totally awesome!Hahahahahahahaaa!!!!!!!

Tonight......we've got a movie date!

finding time

I have been going through some crazy shit in the last couple of weeks.I work from midnight till 9am.So basically my Mondays are Tuesdays.In early November,I have been doing an awful lot of OTs.Like SHIT LOADS.The pay is good but my health was going down the drain as well.I'd throw up ever so often.I'd get severe headaches.I don't know if it's coz of my working hours but I was getting pretty sick.

I got sick every other week.Finally,on the recent Monday,I was dragged to the hospital and I was given a jap.My SME told me to leave after I threw up about 6 times within 4 hours.Shu came by and took me to the hospital.It's crazy.I'm not pregnant.I don't seem to have any other symptoms relating to any severe disease or illness.I was just purging everything in my system.

My mum thinks I should get some other job that doesn't require me to stay up that late.I kinda think I like my working hours.I get to do more things during the day.Of course,if and unless I can find some other company that would pay me just as much,I would probably consider it.Still,I'm getting used to it.

Yesterday,I had like a series of unfortunate events.I got home and everything was fine.I realized that Shu let himself in as I was dozing off.The next thing I realized,I was up because it was hot.I got up to check the fan and the aircond switches.They were all on.I thought there was a power failure or a power trip.Shu got up and checked with the management and he found out that the stupid landlord of our failed to pay his fucking electricity bills on time.We gave the agent (who claimed to have given him) the bills last week.

Our next best plan was to crash at Shu's mum's empty house over in Bangi coz when we checked with the TNB people,they said that the landlord just paid the damn bills and that the electricity would come back around by 10pm.WTF?!I start work at midnight!How the fuck do these people expect us to stay in the house when even the fans weren't working?!

Later on,we just headed to Bangi and then off to work.The next morning,as I was leaving my workplace,a stupid car decided to double-park.I had to get out tail first and it was so fucking hard to do!I did it anyways.Didn't scratch my car ^_^ Still,the guy is an idiot.I don't know if that was worse than the other day when I got home from work and found some random car parked at OUR PARKING LOT!WTF?!

The doctors have been telling me to stay calm and not let my stress level get the best of my health.Seriously,how the hell am I supposed to do that with all this shit going on?!I live among morons.Can't help that.

I enjoy my 4am lunch breaks with Shu.Those would be my happy times.I enjoy my weekends with him.Most of the time,we're not conscious by the time we get onto the bed.So yeah.......sorry,mum.No kids just yet :p

Shu is right.I really need to work on controlling my stress level.I seem to get annoyed at every other person on the road.I get annoyed with every other thing I come across.What's wrong with me?!Oh yeah.........I enjoy sim-ing very much ^_^

My folks cameby last weekend with Aunty Intan and Farah and Faizal.Mum just wanted to see the new place and my dad is hooked to the Middle-Eastern restaurant downstairs.I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves.Azim wants to come hangout and go swimming some weekends.Not this weekend though.I have to work.Shu is working till Saturday afternoon.

photoshoot-ing

This is what happens when I forget to attend my convocation!Damn it!My folks made sure I showed up at the studio in TTDI at 3pm on SUNDAY!I completely knocked out the whole of Saturday.Had breakfast with Shu after work and headed for Bangi.Fell asleep at about 11:30am and when I finally got up for real,it was 1am!I slept through the entire Saturday!

Anywho,I managed to do my make up properly and got to the studio on time.The house is a mess.We're still packing.Finally got some movers confirmed.Managed to inform TM that we'll be relocating so they're gonna have to install the Unifi in the new place AFTER we've moved in.

Hahahahahahaahahaahahah!!!!!!!

We managed to get to the mall first thing in the morning on Sunday only to be the first ones down the LEX slide!We so did it!WE SO DID IT!IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

moving!

Shu and I went to see the apartment we'll be moving into in November.In the meantime,we should be packing already but I'm just packing up the suitcase of clothes for the week since we won't be staying here in Subang very much.Also,I'll be driving from tonight onwards due to overlapping shifts.

It does seem like we're spending so much more but believe me,we are actually cutting down costs.

As most people are aware of the fact that I accidentally missed my convocation some weeks ago,mum said she'll get the robe for me this week and we'll start taking photos in the studio this weekend.Seriously,I have no clue how this works but I'm just gonna go with the flow.

Kecik is FAT and Apple is long.Hahahahahaha!

After a long gap of badminton games,Shu and I took a risk at it by diving into a round or two of badminton games with my dad yesterday.I have recently injured my left knee (apart from my already injured right knee) and the game yesterday might have made it worse.I don't know for sure.............

from work to jamming to gig and back to work

And I looked like crap on Friday night by the time I got to my workplace.Either ways,I made it through the performance as well as work.

I must say,we always complain about Malaysian timing and everything but seriously,it starts from the young and that unfortunate trait is brought along with them till they grow older.WTF?!

Apart from the organizers themselves were not organized and just chucked their jobs onto Jaz,the so called bands who were supposed to perform that day didn't just ditch the gig,they didn't even bother calling the organizers to tell them that they weren't coming.Your band's names were on that list that night and I can assure you that they shall be blacklisted from any upcoming gigs!

If you're not gonna turn up,you could just inform everyone.

Thanks to these idiots,my band performed at 8pm as the 4th band that night instead of the 7th band.I'm not complaining.Jaz was upset.Originally,the whole event was supposed to start earlier in the day.It was supposed to start at 6pm and the sound check was earlier that afternoon.So by right,bands who were supposed to perform earlier in the gig should have already been there..........but they weren't.

I doubt if its about timing anymore.I think it's about not knowing how to be professional.

All I know was that we were all there when we were supposed to and we played our songs like how we were supposed to.

officially HP

Shu has joined the HP team!YEYNESS!

The only set back we gotta work with at the moment is that his shift starts at 9am till 6pm while I start work at 8pm till 5am.So yeah,we don't see much of each other on weekdays.However,the best part is that Shu is already working at the new HP campus.I'll only be moving there with my team in December (I think)

No,we're not supporting the same team.Our managers are different.I just got a head start.That's all.Thanks to my seniors,I got my claims already!YEYNESS!!!

I can't wait to move to the new place coz they have a gym there so I'm gonna make sure I'll make full use of the place ;)

RadioEdit band biography:FINALLY!

RadioEdit was formed back in February 07 consisting of Fidzy on vocal and rhythm, Kamal on lead guitar,Aie on bass and Rash on drums. The band played in various small acts and functions around the Klang Valley area. The band has a reasonably wide range of influence in their music writing. All the band members have played in several other cover bands before forming RadioEdit. The band's material were influenced by punk rock,grunge and blues.

The band :-

Fidzy is the main lyricist for the band.She wrote most of the songs for the band. She has named The Darkness,Avril Lavinge, Lady Gaga , Adam Lambert and Danny Elfman as her inspiration in music. Where lyric writing is concerned, Emily Dickinson plays a very huge part in giving her a kick start. She uses Ltd Viper 50 electric guitar when performing on stage.She started playing guitar at the age of 13.

Kamal is the lead guitarist for the band. He also contributes the composition for almost all the song.He started playing the instrument at the age of 12. Having played in several cover bands, his main influence in music was Joe Perry ,Jimi Hendrix and Slash. He was generally self taught but he did attend theory classes held by his grandfather.Kamal uses a Craftman RG300 electric guitar through a velvet Rocktron distortion.

Aie is the bassist for the band.He is the eldest of all the band mates. He wrote the composition for Maya and Wake Up. In his earlier years, he played several gigs in the Melaka punk rock scene. He has stated Greenday,Gerhana Ska Cinta and Rancis as a few of his influences in music. He is also self taught. Aie uses Ibanez 4 strings electric bass as his instrument of choice on stage.

Rash is the drummer for the band.He is also the younger brother to Fidzy.He has been performing on stage with bands such as Modar,Rustic Rose and Ataxia. His drumming plays a major role in shaping RadioEdit's material. He has played several gigs across the country.

The band's music :-
RadioEdit wrote most of their material based on life experiences and perspectives of their surroundings. The band uses alot of emotions in their lyrics.This can be heard in their songs I don`t live and Maya. Composition wise, they uses their grunge and punk influences with a little bluesy edge. All this is blended and altered so that it can be accepted by the overall listeners. Their song covers stories about anger , love , the oppressed, and views about the stuff that is going on everyday.Their first live demo entitled "Mental Vacation" is scheduled to be released next month.

Fun Fact : Kamal first suggested "Purple Radio"(due to his fanatical obsession to Deep Purple) for the band`s name but later settled for RadioEdit after having discovered that purple is the universal gay color.

HP New Employee Orientation@Sheraton Imperial,KL

Left for KL on Sunday night.We managed to check-in AND we also found out that HP employees get a discount rate for the rooms ^_^

At first,we were supposed to use Shu's name for the room but looking at the fact that I am the one with an HP ID,the room was under my name instead.It was awesome.The room wasn't HUGE huge.Shu and I just lurve the king-size bed and the so awesome looking bathroom.Our room view overlooked KL (on the KL tower side of town)

Anywho,being me,I was actually falling asleep in the car on our way to the hotel but as soon as I got into the room,I saw the bed and started jumping on the bed.And then,I started running around the room.Later on,Shu finally got me settled in and we watched some TV.

Later that night,we had our late dinner at our favorite spot in KL,Kampung Baru.We used to have breakfast there in those days when I used to go back and forth to UniKL.After we moved to Subang,we'd still go there at night just to hang out.Shu and I lurve the steamboat sticks and we lurve the nasi dagang and nasi kerabu shop.

The very next morning,I had to be on the 2nd floor of the hotel for an orientation.The orientation was 2 days in a row.It was just plain fun basically.We didn't have to do much.It was just a room full of a whole lot of HP employees from various other departments.Most of us are from the Cyberjaya area.I think most of them are already at the new HP campus.I'm still at the old EDS building.

I had a blast.I woke up late on the second day but it was no biggie since I was already there at the hotel anyways.I think it was coz Shu and I were on the train in the rain the night before only coz we wanted to go to Pavilion.Hah!That place is not as sucky as Subang's Empire Gallery!Hehehe!

Good Morning,World!

I'm not used to sun light anymore.Weird but not so weird.I used to be nocturnal.Hah!

My eyes used to only hurt when I drive at night coz I hate the damn road lights.Now,my eyes hurt when I see sun light.

Strange...........

I am looking forward to seeing people this weekend...........

I'm still looking forward to October 4th coz that's when Shu has his induction in the pagi and starts work later at night ^_^

YEYNESS!!!!!!!!!

between days and nights..........

Ever since I start work,my life cycle has been shifted upside down.As the rest of the world are preparing to go to sleep,I am on my way to work.The parking spaces are always empty coz while I am pulling into the parking space at home,everyone else is about to leave for work.I've gotten the hang of it.I just can't sleep at night anymore.

So far,I have no complains regarding everything.I just wanna learn and I'm pushing my limits as much as I can.Everything is new to me.It's like I've started a new chapter in my life.I wouldn't wanna jynx anything so I'm not gonna pass remarks or comment on anything.Not yet.

Rest In Peace Bedah...........

I have never cried so much.Not as much as I did yesterday.I was cleaning out Bedah and Patrick's house and I saw Bedah lying on the floor of the place.She was sick.Her eyes were opened and she looked like she had difficulty breathing.I brought her out.I was hoping she'd jump up and start running around but she didn't.I kept asking her get better but she didn't.Finally,Shu decided to take her to the vet.

We went to a nearby vet.The nurse there said sometimes we should just give the hamster some glucose water and they'll be fine.I couldn't even get her to drink,how the hell was I supposed to give her glucose water?!The vet took a look at her and had no clue wtf was going on.All he could derive was that it looked as though something was wrong with her lungs.He gave her a shot of some medication and he told us to wait.

We made a few stops on our way home coz we needed to get dinner.Bedah never made it home.She died in the car and I saw her take her last breath.It was almost 7pm at the time.I had to be at work at about 8:30pm.I didn't want to go to work but after a while I sobered up and went anyways.It's not like staying at home could bring her back.

I miss her a lot and I'm going to miss her.I'd usually scream out "BEDAH!!!!!" whenever we come home.Now,I can't do that anymore :( She's the smartest hamster I've ever known and she was family.

while Fashion Week is on..........

We were celebrating Hari Raya.It was quite a rush coz we only spent 4 days in Terengganu and I have already started work.I work from 9pm to 6am local time.It's quite a change and I've been absorbing so much that my brain was running on OT.

I had a blast anyways..........during Hari Raya,that is.I have no kampung.I was chasing cows and blowing up mercuns.It was all fun ^_^ I was hanging around with Shu's sister Aina and littlest brother Azizi.Managed to see Kak Long and Azura before we left at the airport.

Managed to lepak a while with Shu's cousins Fakhri,Hafiz,Ikhwan and Mutaqim.I lurve Shu's grandfolks' house they live in.It's this old skool wooden house.I lurve it so damn much!That was also the place I was chasing this cow in the semak.It was minding its own business but I just wanted to see a cow up close.Freaked at the point when it spotted me.

Note to self:Cows does NOT ONLY go after people in red :/

We wanted to pack up a whole lot of fire crackers but we didn't want to risk it coz we were gonna take a flight home.Hahahahahaha!I was crying on the plane home coz there was a turbulence.I HATE TURBULENCES!!!It was probably NOT as horrible as it would have been on a boeing 737.

Aku cium lantai sebaik sahaja kapal terbang mendarat!HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

the thin line between racism and rage

I'm a Malay and I am a racist towards Malays.I am naturally this way.Maybe it's coz 90% of the Malays I come across are brainless.I used to not think that it's a natural thing but now I do.It's proven.Malays with cash is irritating.Not that I think they shouldn't have cash.I just think that they tend to want things others have but they don't have the intelligence to own them and therefore they'd annoy other people whom are considerate beings.

Shu and I have no mercy towards people who do not appreciate our civic-minded-ness.We are considerate people but we have limits.We play nice most of the time.The Big Guy up there installed this thing called a conscience in my head but I won't deny that I have limitations.If you are too stupid then you just gotta learn like a stupid person in the most basic way.

I don't carry dynamites.Sometimes I wish I do.I've always wanted a gun.Hell,I wish everyday that I'd be God someday so that I can put an end to human beings and save everything else from having to come across such moronic beings.

Anywho,I bet a whole lot of people would have died if I ever had weapons.Less people means less problems......right?

I never thought I'd live to the day when I actually come across an idiot who is so stupid that we'd have to physically do something just to teach them a lesson.......that is,IF they ever learn at all.If they can't even react to civilized means of warnings,I'd say they don't have brains at all.SO.........despite wanting to just destroy the very problem itself (the idiot himself),we had to resort to wrecking (not entirely) their car ^_^

Think about it,if you can't be taught the way most people learn,then we'd just have to go down to your level of thinking to get the message through......right?

No hard feelings aye ;)

Cheers!

minus-one?

Hahahahaha!

I've always thought I sound a wee bit like a mouse everytime I sing.......which is probably......true!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!

I have no idea how everyone else keeps up with me!

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Anywho.......we just got out from an awesome recording studio somewhere in Damansara Perdana.Excellent,EXCELLENT equipments!I mean,seriously......those mics!TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!!

Ok....ok.......words........

We started recording at around 10pm-ish.Played the songs according to the playlist we discussed just before we started recording.Maya was the first song on the list coz it was our ballad.I never realized how distracting and tough it is to record with the headphones on when it captures EVERY sound in the room......including my bandmate's whispers!After a while,we decided to just record everything live WITHOUT the vocals.......

Tough!VERY tough!

I can never pay attention without singing so I sorta did but it wasn't into the microphone.

Then again,I messed up pretty much most of the lyrics tonight.That sucked.I forgot to sing the 2nd verse.Distracted.I kept looking for Shu!He went downstairs for a bit and didn't get back up and then I realized that the doors downstairs were really secured.Someone's gotta open it from the inside.That was what kept him.He went to get me some water <3>

AWW.........

Anywho,after I stopped messing up my parts from not singing,Kamal,Rashid and Ayie began messing up their parts as well.I was actually giving myself a pat on the back for not messing up my riffs and that was when it happened.We were ALMOST at the end of Wake Up and Kamal stops playing and said he totally messed up.Rashid was screaming out coz he said that was the best he's played all night.

*sigh*

We did the entire song 3 times......oh,4 times,I think!Hahahaha!Batak's computer had errors for one of the recordings so we had to do it all again.It all turned out pretty well in the end.The end product was awesome.Now,I gotta try recording my vocals to complete the songs ^_^

Patrick

Finally got Bedah a friend......a housemate........someone whom she can supposedly relate to.......

Well.......we went ahead to a pet store and got Patrick.He's small.Smaller than Bedah.Half her size.That's coz we've had Bedah for quite some time now and she's kinda been on her own and stuff and all the hamsters at the pet stores are usually sold when they're still babies.

It was tough trying to get them to like each other coz Patrick was stuck in a small plastic container for a few hours already and he's probably hungry and Bedah is just territorial.SO.......after breakfast,Shu and I decided to run some tests before letting them move in together.

We put them both in a box and let them get to know eachother for a bit.Meanwhile,we cleaned up Bedah's original house.Scrubbed every inch of the floor and walls with soap and stuff.Oh,the wheel too!We had to make sure that every inch of the place doesn't smell like Bedah.

Finally,we moved them both in.They seem to be getting along fine.........well,except the fact that Bedah is a bit of a bully.A huge bully.Literally huge too.She pushes Patrick around and coz he squeaks a whole lot,it makes a lot of noise.A lot more than when Bedah was running around on her own.They're fine.Patrick makes a lot of noise even when Bedah is not near him :/

more pregnancy test kits.........

In case any MORE people are wondering.........I'm not pregnant.Not yet.Not anytime soon.I'd like to stay this way for at least a year since Shu and I got married.We're enjoying the house to ourselves.Having Kecik over a few times was way out of control.The little guy wanted more attention than any kid could ever ask for.I got a headache from trying to keep him out of trouble!Seriously!

It's also stressed out for Shu and I from having to always check that we're never out of rubber!It's just safety precautions.Better safe than sorry......right?

Everyone's been asking if I was feeling alright or I was getting sick from time to time and stuff........

I'm fine.We're fine.I gotta get meself a gynecologist!

In the meantime.........I'm just trying to find ways to boost my immune system!

Subang Jaya,Tropicana,Kota Damansara,Uptown DU,TTDI

First and foremost,Shu's guppies have babies now!YEYNESS!!!!!

Well,we were supposed to go jamming at about 10pm-ish last night at Blues Bred.Since Kamal's car broke down,he needed help to get around so he called Shu.We went ahead to get him at his workplace in Tropicana.Then,we drove him back to his place toget his guitars and stuff and then we headed straight to the studio.

Rashid was already at the mamak there when we arrived.Ayie arrived shortly after we got there.Sat down for a bit and had some drinks and stuff.At about 10:30pm-ish,we headed up to the studio.Foundout that the band playing in the studio at the time wanted to play till 11pm so we did more waiting around.

Tried to get our guitars tuned while waiting.My E string machine head is a bit loose.That was pretty fucked up.But then again,I hardly touch the guitar (even for minor servicing!) when I don't need to use it since I don't even own an amp.SHEEEEESH!And I call meself a guitarist?!

So yeah,we finally managed to practise.For most of our songs,we don't need much practise.For Mental Vacation however,eversince Rashidinsky changed the tempo/beat every other time we played,we have a hard time playing the default way.It's even harder to play when I keep fucking up the damn words to the songs!I can't think when I sing or I'm just gonna screw up every word I say!

For example :Instead of saying "so this is how it feels.....to let it go......." I ALMOST said "so this is how it feels......to fall in love......" and I was gonna sing it like a show tune :/

Anywho,after jamming,Shu and I were supposed to meet up with my folks for a bit so we did.Headed over to a mamak in TTDI and had some more drinks with my folks and Azim.After that,we sent Kamal back to his place in Kota Damansara and we headed home.

I think we only slept at about 3 or 4am >.<

Long night.......very long night..........

laughing our socks off

Was at the mall in Subang the other night heading over to The Coffee Bean for a late night drink.Heard an annoying honking from a car parked along the road side nearby.The car was parked along the yellow lines (in case people don't know this,the yellow line indicates NO STOPPING) which obviously also means no parking.But idiots being idiots,this idiot was parked there and some other idiot parked beside that car,blocking it from getting out.Hence,the honking.Of course,that would annoy the crap out of other people who happens to be there.

Hey!Ya know what else indicates Malaysian-ness?Zebra crossings (Pedestrian crossings) Before crossing on the line,you gotta look left and right coz Malaysian drivers don't stop for pedestrians to cross.You gotta stop for them.Hell,they don't even stop at traffic lights so why bother?

I am surprised that we know how to queue :D eventhough some of us are still not used to it,the majority is able to do it ^_^

Despite the fact that local cars are not as stable as most cars are supposed to be,Malaysian drivers still fail to slow down at turnings or stay in their respective lanes while steering the damn thing called a car.Then again,most European cars are stable but the drivers are so used to staying on the line instead of staying in their lanes,they'd still drive in the middle of the road at turnings.Are these people aware of the fact that they are driving into other people's lanes?

Do these people know of the existence of the side mirror?Do they know how to use it?Most local cars may not come with air bags and stuff but sure come with side mirrors..........ya know.......that thing........sticking outside your car?............

Hahahaha!

I was laughing at an idiot at the Gas Station the other day.He absent minded-ly picked up the wrong nozzle and put it back and picked up the other one.Of course the damn thing won't work.You've already reset the whole thing the moment you put the nozzle back.How long have the self-service thingy been going on again?
