P1 W1MAX, Pedal Works, Schuez and whatnot~

I want P1 W1MAX

Yang tak lucunya, there's no coverage yet in my housing area. Yang peliknya pulak, there is in fact an agent somewhere nearby which does not add up. Yang memberikan harapannya pulak they are available at the housing area 5km away. That should mean, there'll be some 'reja reja' connection somewhere kan?

I'm going to find out as soon as gaji keluar this month. Perhaps that Friday before I send my car to workshop. Dapat yang paling basic je dulu jadilah, I'm not a heavy user anymore. No time meh. But at least I won't be tortured with this awfully slow connection.

Oh and yeah, I am not over my shoes topic - I am so going to ISETAN KLCC to check them plus size shoes. Huuu!! Gonna be burning some holes in me pocket!

Scattered thoughts

Its a draining day. I will also have a pretty difficult day tomorrow. I kept thinking that there is no way I can do this for another year. Pun asked me just now if I still go back so late. I still do, unfortunately. And I said the only time it will end is when I'm out. I kept thinking back to the day where they decided I will take care of this team. How easy it seems for them to decide. I might be the craziest, but my level of patience is indeed very human. While I kept thinking that all these are challenges, I can't help but feel what the hell am I doing here? I am not getting any younger either!

So how am I going to get my Honda Accord? Can I quit and start a Nasi Lemak joint?

Look at me. While driving back I insisted I will leave these thoughts at the office, but here I am writing them away.

I added in Katy Perry's Thinking of you lyric at side there. I love this song. So very much, the video clip made me cry when I first watched it, the words reached pretty deep inside. Compounded that I am a war history fan - the video clip touched me deep.

If you have seen the video clip, you have to agree that Katy is so hot in the video clip. I simply love that 60's style she's pulling. Everything from her make up (love the eyes and lips), the hair, the outfits, even the bathing suit. My favourite being the black dress she wore in mourning. The jacket, the flaring skirt, so elegent. The hat with netted veil completed the look and her shoes! No way it looks comfortable but damn sexy! I want to be in that outfit! (of course I wouldn't be able to pull it like she did but heck, so stunning!)

*sigh* I really dig these 60's style.

If you look at the blog and think something's wrong with it, its because I messed around with the settings on the template. Like a candy store exploded in my blog.

Anyway, feast your eyes on these beautiful images of Katy Perry in the clip Thinking of you.

State of Pennilessness

Aku di tahap kepokaian yang sungguh tidak kelakar. I get in this kind of situation sometimes, actually it used to be all the time but end of last year up until now, my financial standing is pretty solid. I basically spend my money like water by buying clothes, make-ups, accessorise and being all girly like that. Its fun when after paying all the bills and the necessities I go skipping off towards the gold lined horizon to treat myself to a false sense of happiness through retail therapy.

Seriously, I can't help it. For a fatty, when I am all dolled up I am pretty cute I have to say. It really upped my feline qualities. Miawwwrrrrhhh!!

Yeah, so I am a conceited biatch, sew me HAHA!

Its bank holiday today but I stepped in to work today after an exhausting morning. Although, in my head I have sneakily hatched an idea not to go at all, a sudden call from my staff decided that I really do have to come in. What did I say about job that even take your personal time?

I kept telling myself, no matter. I will claim OT out of it, its only for 3.5 hours plus 0.5 for commuting. Since my AVP insisted on it. *evil grin*

For now, I have to bear with this penniless state. Which is pretty painful since there hasn't been a weekend spent at home successfully like last weekend. Somehow, we didn't go out. Usually, we would definitely go somewhere, shopping. I did go to Mines, but that is out of neccesity, anyway I was back within a couple of hours anyway.

*sigh* For some reason, God has his ways. He knows I am spending my money for nothing, so he guided this resolve to get a computer, hopefully something that will anchor me home. Haha, what a thought!

Yes, I am not going to get an FB account. Thank you, sis. Exactly! Among friends, nightmares! That is what I am scared of! And its so awkward to block them off, like they don't really know that they are a pain in our life and would be wondering why we are ignoring them =P so my monkey friends have to have 'fun' sans myself. Rather stick out of it what with having a bunch of my UK colleagues in there *shudders*

My dial up is pretty slow. Scratch that, not pretty slow. VERY SLOW! I am so used to the speedy connection at my office. Although, since getting this connection I am not quite sure where can I go to online. Its a large expanse of limitless world but here I am in this corner, not sure where to start. Damn newbie.

Oh, sister. Do get in touch with me. IM or whatever. Tell me where I can chat with you online, perhaps on weekend. Impossible on weekdays. I have YM and Skype. But I don't have a headset for us to use Skype for now, penniless, small, little me.

I'm BACK!

Akhirnya aku membeli sebuah computer - or someone mentioned, computer parts to make a computer which is assembled by the shop owner himself, bless his soul.

Computer ini yang aku hendak describe sebagai mediocre use berkebolehan untuk image editting tools yang agak berat. It works like wonder - pantas jugak bila pakai Adobe Photoshop. Tak meleleh darah telinga tunggu dia load, save dan sebagainya.

Aku dapat PC ni sebenarnya last week. In fact Sunday night, 11.15pm, dia sampai ke tanganku. Tukang beli? Budak kat ofis aku yang tersangat baik hatinya mengoffer body dan masa dia dan adiknya untuk membelikan computer ni pasal aku buat muka seposen kat dia dan basically begged him to get it. Pathetic or what? I know!!!! Kill me will you!

Anyway, happy 1 week with me dear computer which I have named Computer with a 'C'. Since he is the only one in the house, he can keep that name.

Nak tahu apa isi kandungan this baby? Mari bersama-sama menahan rasa benci, meluat, menyampah kepada aku yang masih lagi basking in the joy of owning a computer again finally since five years ago (Laptop for two years ago) hehe :

Processor : AMD Athlon Dual Core 2.71 GHz
Memory : Kingston DDRAM 2GB
Hardisk : Samsung Harddisk 160GB
Video : Intergrated je dulu nong, lagipun 512MB for video intergrated, OK ler tu.
Sound : Sama seperti di atas - tapi macam nak mampus install driver pasal ada problem dengan BUS driver
Media : DVD Writer Samsung
Modem : Ethernet ready, Aztech 56K - jangan gelak siot! Nanti aku dah settle masalah uangku, akan ku berpindah ke broadband.
OS : Windows XP (Ingat nak pakai Vista, tapi macam banyak songeh je, nanti dulu lah)
Monitor : Dell CRT Refurbished yang gedabak besar bas.

Itulah kisah computer aku yang boleh aku kategorikan sebagai jejaka yang boleh tahan jugak. Hensem kan computer aku? HEHE

Semalam aku pegi Mines, cari software dan apa yang patut juga modem 56 Kbps yang rupanya hampir pupus di zaman broadband ni. Aku masuk empat kedai sebelum aku jumpa dengan modem tu. Aku first masuk kat kedai komputer yang PALING BESAR SEKALI kat Mines tu. Besar gila kedai tu! Memang besar wei! Spot dia tu, kalau kat floor bawah dia adalah Giant, so imagine the massiveness of the shop. Aku pegi ler dengan yakin. Ye lah, kedai besar macam wholesale emporium takkan takde modem 56K ye dak?

How wrong I was.

Kat section Internet dia, ada macam macam modem broadband, ADSL, router, be it wireless or not. Tapi takde the puny bottom feeder/bottom of the food chain of 56 Kbps. "Kitorang takde bawak masuk modem tu," mamat tu kata bila aku tanya dah pupuskah modem 56K tu? Aku dengan tartly seraya menjawab. "Hi ih, kedai besar macam ni pun takde modem kecik tu ye!"

Selepas meninggalkan kedai yang memang best tapi takde modem yang aku nak tu, aku masuk ler dua tiga kedai lagi. Satu, satu kedai kata takde, muka aku mula bertukar menjadi muka doposen, pastu seposen, last last limasen. Setan betul. Really? Kaya betul umat kat Malaysia ni. Everyone can afford broadband that they are forgetting the small but friendly 56K modem!

Aku macam nak give up dah. Imagine, one week I was planning to get the modem since I really can't afford to get broadband now. I just got myself a computer out of my monthly salary damnit! Finally when I was executing the plan, it did not go as I expected...

Instead, I hardened my resolved, takpe banyak kedai lagi nih!

And true enough. The last shop I tried, I stood at the entrance not really sure if I should try again. The dude at the counter was damn busy with a couple of customers so I asked the other dude testing out a laptop.

"Apa? Modem 56K ah? Mau internal ka, external punya?"

Aku menarik nafas lega. Syukur kepada Tuhan yang Maha Mengetahui. Dia menunjukkan aku ke arah kedai ini yang ada product AZtech.

Dengan yakin aku mintak internal, pasal murah sket lagipun, patut senang pasang PCI chip nih. Ele, sia sia ler belajar 3.5 tahun kat UPM buat science computer kalau tak daring nak pasang chip sendiri.

Aku sempat tengok external dia punya. Kecik nak mampus skarang ni - dulu aku beli external modem AZtech ni ada macam besar eyeshadow case untuk four pallet punya besornya tapi tebal sket. Tapi skarang ni, dah sekecil ibu jari aku ni ha. Amazed gak. Tapi yang aku lagi amaze, harga dia. Internal RM23.00, external RM59.00. Internal cost less than half of the external. Go figure!

Lepas aku dah beli modem tu, singgah jap beli pirated softwares. OH GOD SAVE MY SOUL!! Note to self : Kedai tu ada mamat yang tak ler hensem tapi tinggi banget, aku punya taste gittew.

Aku beli ler bundle software yang diperlukan. OS sekali mana tau aku gatal gatal karang install install kena reformat pulak C: drive aku, mana nak cekau OS nanti kan. Microsoft office mesti, Adobe Photoshop wajib tu! Macromedia Dreamweaver Har..... Mana Macromedia Dreamweaver? Apsal dia Adobe Dreamweaver? Adobe curik ke? Wait. Last time I heard there was a court case between Adobe and Macromedia because of the interface layout issue. Adobe saying Macromedia is copying their creation. I thought Macromedia won but what happened lar.

Rupa-rupanya "The line of Macromedia products is now controlled by its former rival, Adobe Systems, which acquired Macromedia on December 3, 2005." - Wikipedia.org

So, harus aku mendapatkan Adobe formerly Macromedia Dreamweaver itu jugak. Dah beli yang perlu, balik dengan berkobar-kobar. Sempat singgah kat F.O.S beli stretchable beads necklace (LOVE IT! Its dark red!)

Balik rumah, perkara pertama ialah memasang modem, ingat ye, 3.5 years studying computer science.

But 45 minutes later, I found myself again at Mines - braving through the traffic and the impossible parking - because I cannot put the damn PCI chip in. I thought its easy install but dang! I was a sissy after all.

Kat kedai tu, I was determined that if the dude doesn't want to take the merchandise back, I would leave it there and buy the external one. But RM59! Phooey!

Tapi kat kedai tu, budak tu telah dengan deftly showed me how to put it in. I braved the traffic and the parking for nothing. I didn't see that there is indeed a space in the chip that would fit into the port.

Pendek cerita aku balik ler, pasang balik modem dengan jayanya and everything else basically resolves itself. I got myself the Microsoft Office 2007 which looks pretty radical that I have to relearned everything. Installed the Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 but not able to do so with the Photoshop but got a repalcement in another CD I have for Adobe Photoshop CS3 which is good enough. I installed Firefox, Opera browser and 1001 internet thingies. Also put the security up for my PC with Avast since the boy that bought the PC for me said is the best and I happen to have it in my bundle CD. (Kapersky is annoying). And finally this morning I resolved my sound driver issue by dowloanding and installing a patch. So my baby here is almost a whole man, haha except that if I get the memory upgrade and later the Harddisk I have been dreaming - 1 Terrabyte.

Oh gorsh, this computer talk! I can go on and on and on.

Sekarang ni aku tak dapat nak decide lagi if I want to join my friends on Facebook. Tapi aku gerunlah. There are just so many real people I know there so maybe I can decline on that. I think I passed that already. Biarlah budak budak ni knock their socks off.

Sleepless

4 am and I can't sleep. Went for walk again, further this time. I got back, tired and fell asleep at 11pm. Then, I woke up at 2am, felt preety warm so took a bath. Tried to get to sleep again but still up now.

Mau kurus?

I have been refered to the weight management clinic. Mission is to drop to my ideal weight. I need to lose 70 kg to get to 67.25 kg. DO THE MATH! So its a crazy amount to lose yeah? I guess for now I would just try to slowly lose some until it can't go lower, then I need to hit the gym. I promised the doc I will lose 2kg a month. But I already lose 5kg with diet control and the 15 mins walking daily. Sangat bersemangat sekarang to lose these weight. Mind you that I never starve myself.

Hidup masih kenyang.

Since then what happenend, what happend!

Dah cuba update dengan N80 dua, lapan, lima belas kali tapi for some reason tak publish and such poignant thoughts too, all gone in smoke!!! Guess where I am at the moment? At workplace. This place got its own so called internet kiosk since us slaves here cannot do it at the comfort of our work zone, but its fine anyhow.

I bet me mom will call anytime soon asking me when I am coming back, heck, she should be worried see. Its 3.00 am on a Friday night. I have a few shitty things outstanding waiting for me on Monday as well so I don't exactly feel my best about this weekend but at least its a weekend where my salary is out on so it is not all bad.

I have billion of plans tomorrow. Namely getting mom new haircut, treating her to Pizza Hut (she don't really like pizza but she saw the ad the other day for some chinese new year special and thought it looks good. I also need to get myself a new handbag. Me unlike most female species that loves to collect that appendages they call their handbags will only buy them out of necessity. The current one I have now is falling apart. I got this for RM70 on a sale, otherwise it be RM140 and by my low standard that pretty pricey.... but I guess being in service full time for 1 year is a job well done for a handbag which is not made out of leather.

I also need to get myself a scale.

Oh, you didn't know? I am on a... dare I say? *whisper* diet *whisper*

I don't if I lost any but I feel spaces in my pants and shirts so I guess that is good and my pot belly has reduced in it's largeness which something I should celebrate and the best part is, I LOVE WALKING. I haven't graduated to the next brisk walk yet, I just walk... as much as I can and its always fun. I walk at the park, I walk to my car, I walk when I can since I am a lazy bum. But I hate climbing stairs. Tried that today to my 2nd floor office and I lost my life somewhere on the 1st floor. Of course I exxagerate (how do you spellit?) but you get the gist.

Anyhow, yes I need a scale something that can go over 100 kilos because I still have a long way to go. The doctor said I will need 2 years if I consistently lose weight every month and that should give you the idea how heavy I am. I basically carry 2 of me right now so I am that genourmous.

Enough of my weight.

I also need to get colour pencil for Fatihah. I think I might to get like 3 every month or something because perhaps she eats it at school. And mom mentioned about the sole of her favourite sandals wearing thin? Huhuhu

Talking about sandals, I went to Morib like I would usually do from time to time because I like to eat there and the long drive is always fun. They would have this market like place there as well so I bought myself the selipar jepun for RM10 each so I got 2. The point of the story is... I love wearing selipar/flip flop so much. It makes my legs stumpy but to tell you how wide my feet are, its the only thing that won't pinch me.

Like you can't tell I am running out of things to say so high time I beat it and leave this God forsaken place.

Btw, the stupid money machine, all three of them are coughing out RM10 notes only. Me planning to withdraw RM2k tonight alone decides that would be a foolish decision to withdraw that much in RM10 notes. So I have to go to Puchong tomorrow to get my money.

And I miss my sister very much, hope she is doing all well!!!!

Withdrawal symptoms?

I always feel this way, a day before work if I spend the day doing basically nothing.

Empty inside, hollow.

And the thought that its a beginning of one hell of a busy week doesn't make things better at all.

I miss my sister.

I guess I'm having a withdrawal symptom...

i will be fine
tomorrow will be productive
i will have a good sleep tonight
work will be fun
i will be on time
i will overcome

Tinggal tiga

Habis december, esok sekolah, tamat percutian panjang, sekarang rumah tinggal 3 orang.

5.30pm dan aku masih belum mandi. Memang hari yang malas
