The Other Woman



A few days ago in the midst of our battle with the 700++ valves, me & my BFF were talking about how some women would put the blame on the "other woman" when their husband is having an affair. I'm sure most of you agree, if not 100%, at least 90% to this statement.

Most affairs are initiated by men. It started with the most common lie in the universe which is "I'm single". Then with some sweet talks here & there, the poor girl falls for it. Nobody condones cheating. It may not be the case all the time but majority of the time, it is. In this case, clearly it's not the other woman's fault. But yet, she still got the blame and the dog howls to victory ( the dog here is that cheating husband ).

Even if the man didnt lie & the other woman was to know, it's none of her responsibility to uphold two other persons wedding vows, isnt it? Pathetically, some women would put most of the blame on the other woman rather than their own good-for-nothing husbands - when it's actually the husband that owes the wife something. It's him you married not her, so you can't hold her responsible for anything.

What I'm trying to imply here is that the whole blame should not be placed only on the other woman, because it takes two to tango...however, she's not innocent in the matter and shouldn't be counted as innocent. But then, it's not the other woman's fault that their husbands cheated.

This is one thing that I always failed to understand about women ( though I'm one of them ). Noticed that women would take more craps from the husbands than anybody else - even their own mother or siblings. I'm sure you've heard a lot about women who choose not to listen to their own kids when they complaint that their dad molested / raped them. They would just ignore them & stick to the husband, half the time not even investigating the allegations. Sad isnt, it?

Like my late grandma always told me before : women can be very much smarter than men...... but yet, men would still managed to cheat them out ! Ouchhhh, the truth does hurt !


p/s I hope none of you would relate this entry to myself - no, no, no.....I am not that "other woman", ok. I'm clean.....at least for now ! Hehehe......

Anugerah Industri Muzik 2010

If any of you were wondering whether I would write a review on last night's AIM, well the answer is no. To start with, I've totally forgotten about it - not until Marsya told me so. Getting the right TV station is another challenge as none of us knew anything about it - so, we end up jumping one channel to another till we got the right one. And by that time, CT Nurhaliza had just finished performing :( But then, even if I got the chance to watch her, dont think I would have any comment on her performance but only praises & compliments. Cant expect me to do that to another Pahang-ian, right?

I managed to stay & watch the event for a mere 30 minutes. or so For that short period of time, obviously nothing much I could comment. Anyway, both Afdlin & Adibah had again proved themselves as a good presenter & never failed to entertain the audience with their jokes. They're naturally good & their jokes are so original. Am just wondering where Bob Lokman is this year?

Cant comment much about Yuna & Aizat's performance though. It's like having the Chinese philosophy's concept of Yin & Yang on the stage, i.e. the theory about balance. In this case. it's the balance between my "likes" and "dislikes" - I like Yuna & it's the other way round for Aizat. Enuff said. But honestly, I dont really like their song mash-ups. Dan Sebenarnya would sounds better if being sung on its own without any interference from Aizat's song. Hmmm.....am I being biased here? Sounds like it though.......but do you care? Coz I dont !

Hazami won the best male vocal artist award despite my favourite Faizal Tahir.....huhuhu. Cant help but to feel sorry for him upon listening to his speech. It's not the speech that moved me but rather his voice. I cringed to every words that's coming out from his mouth & was hoping that he would make it as short as possible - before the crowd started to laugh at him. Really am feeling sorry for him.

That was the closing event of my AIM this year. I found it rather boring & just couldnt continue watching it anymore. Maybe I've been watching too many Hollywood movies lately that I've lost all interest in the local entertainment. Or maybe, they're just not up to standard yet to be able to entertain me !

The Indecent Proposal



I'm speechless. Not that I didnt know they're an airhead but the fact that they proudly flaunt their stupidity amazed me - not in the sense of impressing me but rather shocked me. Knowing the fact that they are stupid is one thing. But having them to prove that fact can be quite entertaining, I would recall. What's more interesting to see a man making a fool out of themselves?

How can I not say that? As always, men disgusts me and in my case, it's not me to be blamed. Those men who happened to pop in my life seems to have nothing in their head - total vacuum. It's either that or I'm just too smart for them......oppssss, did I just knock off the ego of you guys, male readers out there? If so, then just be it........ada aku kesah ? Woooohooooooo !!!

Imagine this & I'm sure you couldnt agree more with what I've been babbling up above. A guy whom I knew for a 1-2 years, went out with him 2 - 3 times and as far as I know, I've no mushy feelings towards him - strictly frens that is. Unfortunately, he is not and obviously it's not my problem at all. So, being an airhead he is, he called me @ 5.00 am in the morning - not to wish me a very good morning or asking me to watch the sunrise with him.......but to propose. Oh yes, you've read it right....to PROPOSE !

See what I mean? He has 24 hours in a day & the best time to call & propose to a lady is at 5 am in the morning.....that's one heck of a theory! I guess, this is what actually happen. He had a wet dreams in the night, woke up in the wee hours of the morning, still feeling horny as an after effect of the wet dreams he had earlier and bang !!! Lets propose to this lady ! He was really proposing to me - telling me that he'd took care of me, love me for the rest of his life, and I'm quite sure if he's in front of me at that time, he would already be on his kneels with tears at the corners of his eyes, begging me to accept his proposal. Me on the other hand, still trying very hard to figure out whether am I already awake or still dreaming.....or should I say, still in a midst of a nightmare ! And I'm quite certain after putting down the phone, he'll be wanking himself back to sleep !

As I'm writing this entry, I still couldnt understand how he can actually do that. Not that we're currently in love or what.....and I cant even remember the last time I spoke to him on the phone. And out of the blue, he can actually call & proposed.....at 5 am in the morning! Though what he expected from me is a "Yes",but all I could say was "ARE YOU DRUNK???"

This is the problem with guys. They thought asking the girl's hand for a marriage is just like asking her our for a movie. No big deal......nothing ! If he doesnt like the movie, he would just walks out from the cinema......the same way he'll walks out from a marriage if everything doesnt turned out to be as he wants it to be. He can always find another girl to go for another movie with him ! What's so difficult about that, isnt it?

This guy who proposed to me is a 40 year old man. If you think, a man at his age is mature enough, well you've think again. He is in fact another living proof ( out of millions of them out there) of the theory that men can never mature....ever. Unfortunately their biological clock went bonkers and their brain just stop developing at the age of ten max., which leaves men with a so-called brain no bigger than a peanut. And tell me how can I not hate these species ? They simply cant stop amusing me with all kinds of stupidity they could think of.

C'mon guys, gimme a break.......I had enough !

Nasi Lemak Tanglin



A lot have been heard & read about this infamous Nasi Lemak Tanglin. It's one of the most sought Nasi Lemak in town, it seems. Just type Nasi Lemak Tanglin in Google Search & you'll find hundreds of reviews & comments about it.

Tanglin Food Court


Last Sunday, I've got the chance to join those avid fans of this particular Nasi Lemak for breakfast. Tanglin Food Court is situated in Lake Garden area...near the butterfly park & opposite the Pusat Kesiihatan Tanglin. There are enuff signboards in the park that would help you find the way.



We reached there about 9 am & from far we could already see a long queue in front of the stall. Most of the seats in the food court are already occupied - but since it's only the 2 of us, we managed to find ourselves a seat. Besides the nasi lemak, there's also another stall selling noodles. Since nasi lemak has been a no-no dish for me for so long, I then opt for the noodles - Mee Kicap Special, it is. As for my friend, he ordered the nasi lemak.


Excuse me, is this the queue for the movie tickets?


So, here's the verdict. The mee kicap is fantabulous. I really, really love it - it meets my taste so perfectly. The noodles is nothing so great but then it's the simplicity that makes it great I guess. It's just a wanton noodle with soya sauce & garnished with prawns, cockles, bak choy (green leafy vege) plus 1-2 slices of fish cake. As I said, simple yet nice....very nice indeed.


The amazing Mee Kicap Special


The "infamous" nasi lemak on the hand is an ultimate disappointment. In my opinion, besides the rice, the sambal plays an important role in determining the quality of the dish. If the sambal fails, so will the rice. Well, this is what happened to nasi lemak Tanglin. The sambal is really out - not only it tasted different ( not in a good way kindof different ), it's a bit sweet too. There's something really funny with the taste of the sambal which I dont really like. But then, looking at crowd; I guess it's just me and my friend - the rest of them seems to enjoy it very much. Personally, the nasi lemak @ Wisma Genting's food court is still the best. It's reputation is by far, still intact.


The unexpected Nasi Lemak


Anyways, I would definitely come back to this place - not for it's nasi lemak of coz but for the noodles instead. My intention is to try out all of their other noodles in the menu - which I hope is as good as their Mee Kicap.

Rude Bitch!

It’s Friday today & like everyone else, I’m so looking forward to it. I’m so happy when Friday is finally here. As I’m about to start embracing this lovely day, it was splattered by an act of rudeness & arrogance from a female.


In life there are the popular people, the geeky people, and then there are people who enjoy being rude to others just to make them feel better. I can deal with the popular people and the nerdy ones, but the jerks I can't deal with – especially when it’s the person I worked with everyday.


How can a person portrayed herself as a good muslimah but didn’t actually act like one? Aren’t being nice to each other is one of the teachings in Islam? Doesn’t she knows that or she’s simply ignoring it? This female has been constantly showing her attitude for as long as I knew her. It’s like having that rude hemoglobin running through those veins of hers.


Today, she might smile at you as you walked pass by but tomorrow, you cant expect the same thing out of her. She’ll only acknowledge you when she feels like it and she’ll just stop smiling back at you out of the blue leaving you feeling very confused (& pissed as well). In short, being an asshole as she is, she’ll simply make you a stranger as & when she likes it.


Why is it so difficult for you to be nice to other people? I’m not asking you to be nice to the extent of sending me flowers everyday or make me coffee every morning. I would understands it if I’ve treated you so very vulgarly all these years. But the thing is, I never did that to you. As long as I remembered, I’ve never been rude to you before. Have I ever not smiled back at you every time we passed by at the pantry? On those days where you put on those weird outfits (like that ruffled puffy sleeve cardi for instant), did I go & laughed at your face though I really felt like doing it (especially now) ?


It’s not my fault that you didn’t get fucked by your hubby last nite but dont come to the office the next day and fucked other people’s life. For all I know, you’ve just ruined my Friday !

Thai Steamboat @ Q-Thai Village





Went here about a month ago with my mum & Marsya, right after I came back from Korea. It's a treat to my mum for taking care of Marsya while I'm gone. Didnt actually knew the existence of this restaurant - not until I saw the their banner by the road side around my area. Since it's located in my neighborhood, let's just give it a try. Anyway, steamboat has always been the favourite for me & Marsya.

This restaurant was open mid January this year. It is located in Taman Dagang - near Ampang Jaya Police Station, behind Galaxie Ampang. They occupied two shop lots - one one for the Ala Carte menu whereas the other one is specifically meant for steamboat only.




As planned earlier, we opt for the steamboat. It was quite okay, I would say. Lots of varieties - really a lot actually. They have it all there - seafood, vegetables, noodles, fried rice, those yong tau fu stuffs, chicken, beef plus a lot more. Besides the steamboat, they also have BBQ chicken wings (weekend) and satay (weekdays). My mum loves the chicken wings so much - it was big in size & nice too.



As for the soup, as most of other steamboat operators, they have two choices - tomyam or plain soup. In terms of these soups, Tupai-Tupai still won it by having the coconut juice tomyam soup. But as far as price is concern, Q-Thai is far ahead than them. It's only 22+ for adults and 12+ for children. This is certainly a very good news for all Steamboat lovers in Ampang / Pandan area. With the amount of varieties & the price they are charging, Q-Thai Steamboat is indeed the cheapest in town.

The Cardi Dilemma



Didnt know buying a waterfall cardigan can be quite challenging. I've been browsing for it since last week since this long cardi is so in these days. I have been a bit skeptical about putting it on me due to my extra broad shoulder. I feared that putting another layer on it would make my shoulder ever wider.

Having a wide shoulder like mine has created a lot of limitation to my fashion collections. Ruffled sleeves, pleated necklines, no shoulder pads - these are among the designs I should be avoiding. I've to be really careful trying out new fashions for I might end up looking disastrously ugly.

The waterfall cardigan has captured my attention quite some time ago for its trendy & stylish looks. The only thing that stops me from pursuing it is the thought that it might not look good on me. All that thoughts just vanished the moment I stepped into Marks & Spencer on Sunday. They have a few nice long cardi there & to my surprise, I looked quite ok in it......phew!

These are my shortlisted choices :



It took me 3 visits to Marks & Spencer before I can really decide which one suits me the best. Among all 3, I would have to admit that A is by far, my favourite. The only not so favourite about it is the price - RM259 ! Well, quality and looks always comes with a price, huh ! B & C are about the same as far as price is concerned - RM 169 each. However, the drawback for B is that it's a 1-pc design - meaning that you cant mix & match it with other tank tops. C in the other hand is more friendlier as it is a 2-pc tops where both the cardi & tops are not attached.

Out of these 3 options, I like C the least. The way it's been designed doesnt makes it fall that nicely as compared to the other two. But then, I still end up buying C. Reason being, A is too pricey & B is not that friendly ( no mix & match possible ).

Honestly, as I'm writing this entry, I'm still undecided as to which ones I should settled down with. The M&S's 35-days cooling off period policy really puts me in a dilemma. Looking back at the above pics, I think I look much nicer in B - but then I've to stick to that only without having the luxury to match it with my other tops. Huhuhu........it's so difficult being a woman, isnt it ! The other solution is to buy both ! Would I? Could I? Or.... should I?

Lazy Lorrrr.......


I've been asking myself lately - is it the aging factor or have I actually lost the drive & passion in life? I dunno what's been happening to me but I seems to be extremely lazy these days. Maybe this is the kindof mid-life crisis women faced in their life when they turned 40 - specifically for single lady like me. The good thing is, it doesnt involves hurting other people's feeling like the kind of mid-life crisis men had.....duhhhhh!

When I said being lazy I'm not referring to office work coz for as long as I could remember, work and lazy are two synonym words in my dictionary. Lazy here means the way I am whenever I'm at home. I cant even remember when was the last time I baked a cake or making "kuih" or even a simple jelly. I bought this chocolate milk about 3 months ago, with an intention of making a chocolate pudding. Till now, the milk is still there in the cabinet - untouched. I really have to force myself every morning to cook Marsya's breakie & lunch, unlike before where I've always been excited & looking forward to be in my kitchen.

Now, all I want to do is lie down & relax. Every weekend, all I end up doing is lying on my sofa & watch movie - one after another, while browsing the net intermediately. At least when Marsya is around, I would still need to get up to prepare her food. Without her presence, it'll be ultimate freedom for me. I'll be a couch potato for the entire weekend - to the extend of feeding only on plain water & Ping Pong biscuit. Yeah, I'm that critical !

It's quite scary thinking of what I've become. This has somehow makes me realize how great God laid his plans for everybody. As the saying goes, things happen for a reason. Imagine, if I'm still married...... damn, what a messy situations I would be in right now. I obviously cant just sit on the sofa all day long through the whole weekend, cant I? Let alone feeding myself & my hubby plain water & Ping Pong biscuits. For all I know, I'll be flying (without wings) from the 8th floor after being thrown out by my husband !

Sometimes we questioned God as to why he let bad things happened to us without even realizing the blessings that comes along with it.

God, I am grateful.......

The Dark Side Of A Training



Wow! I have not written any entry yet this week. K.Mimi must be cursing me by now for not having any reading materials while having her breakfast every morning. Am so sorry darling.....just cant help it! So, what seems to be the reason that's been keeping me off from writing?

A few reasons actually with "plain lazy" being the major one......hehehe. Apart from that, I was not in the office for 3 days - had a training to attend. And speaking of training, I can only think of one good thing about it which is the knowledge obtained ( provided that full attention being given throughout the whole period la).

All I'm saying here is that there are more bad than good to trainings. First & foremost - too much eating. 2 breaks + 1 lunch - certainly makes me feel like a pig. Well, I cant just look at the food, isnt it? Membazir itu kan amalan syaitan ! Not that the food are so good - but then, what else you wanna do when everybody else around you are eating? You dont really have a choice but to blend in !

The second not-so good thing about training is that it'll make your brain goes dormant. It's even worse for somebody like me whose brain are forever inactive (when it comes to work la). For 3 consecutive days, I'll be sitting there in the training room, doing nothing but listen to the trainer. So on the fourth day, to immediately start kicking with the office work is quite a challenge, I would say. The engines up there definitely needs some warming up before it can be fully throttled - at least that's how my brain works.

Finally, the last reason why training can sometimes be a suffer rather than pleasure is the workload piling on the desk when you're away. I'm referring this scenario to my own self coz I dont have anybody else that could attend to my work when I'm not around. As it is, the brain is still in its hibernation state and having a pile of due dates to meet are certainly not something to look forward to.

Anyway, I'm actually feeling very sleepy now which ends me up with this entry. I just need to blog in order to avoid myself from continuously hitting my head on the desk due to extreme sleepiness. I'm putting the blame on those dim sums I had over lunch earlier. And the by the way, the dim sum buffet lunch was quite good & one of these days, I'll try my best to write an entry about it.

Cheers !
