Weehhhuuu... Today is 16th December 2010; another 15 days to go & its 2011! Phew.. When I was a child, I always looking forward for new year.. Of course the countdown party. fireworks.. karaoke at midnight.. n of course, get to buy new school uniforms, books, stationeries, shoes, etc.. n the utmost can't wait is when the school opens for i can meet my friends & learn new thing.. (with a lil injection of pride getting the seniority status in school.. ehehehe).. but its different when you are an adult.. well, we have to prepare for the party.. we have to get prepare with the budget.. we have to think what to buy or what not to.. etc.. etc.. etc.. Seriously, I HATE BEING AN ADULT! hahaha..

Well.. its being a norm to evaluate what we have done the whole year & to decide whether we had achieved our new year resolution.. Well.. Mine was absolutely out of target..
Ehe.. you'll see the difference here:-

[ Daaayyuumm..! Its hurting real bad to see this.. ha3.. ;) ]

Alrite.. It's been a 'long year' in 2010.. I've been through a lot of ups n downs in life.. Somehow rather, I feel that my journey is still a long way to go.. It's gonna take more than forever for me to really understands the meaning of life.. So many sorry.. regrets.. hurts.. torments.. losts.. hatred.. disastifactions.. but yet, Love came in disguise.. the Love that accepts me of who I am.. who respect me.. who is tender and gentle.. Love that brings sunshine in my life.. love that gives hope and never get bored in making me believe of myself.. I am thankful for the blessing and I hope; that love is the final and for eternity..

for year 2011, I hope for nothing else..

but a better JacJac..

Wish me luck fellas! =)

Interracial Marriage Challenges

Interracial Marriage Challenges From Others

By Sheri & Bob Stritof, About.com Guide

As an interracial couple you will possibly face extra challenges in your marriage from people outside your marriage. If you want to make sure that these possible challenges don't hurt your marriage, talk about them with one another!

·         Open hostility and intimidation

·         Negative stereotyping

·         Derogatory comments

·         Stares, insults, jibes, slights, and whispers

·         A sense of isolation

·         Possible family rejection or being disinherited

Interracial Marriage Challenges From One Another

Expectations:
It can be very romantic and exciting to love someone different. However, don't let the attraction of forbidden love distract you from dealing with the issues that your interracial marriage may have to face.

Don't fall into the myth of thinking that your love for one another can overcome anything life throws at you. Every married couple needs to develop and use effective communication skills so that difficult times can be handled in healthy ways.

Children:

You and your spouse need to discuss how you will raise your children and help your kids to understand and appreciate their mixed identity. Make sure that you provide your children will positive stories of both of your family histories.

As your children grow up, listen to them share their concerns, stereotypes, doubts, and possible prejudices. Answer their questions.

Holidays:

All married couples face stress during holidays. Talk about your cultural differences in how holidays were celebrated when you were kids. Realize that holidays give the two of you a chance to discuss how your family will handle both the differences and similarities in your backgrounds.

Be proud of your cultural traditions and work together to create ways to celebrate them that will be meaningful to you both.

Know Yourself:

If you want to have a strong interracial marriage, believe in who you are. If you feel confusion about your own life, deal with your own issues before trying to merge your life with someone else.

Know Your Differences:

Discuss your cultural differences regarding topics such as religion, diet, birth control, parenting preferences, grief, finances, sex, extended family relationships, gender roles, communication styles, and traditions.

Bottom Line

The racial and cultural differences in your interracial marriage won't necessarily cause your relationship to fail. What can cause an interracial marriage to fall apart is the inability of a couple to handle their differences and a failure to talk about stress and prejudice created by others.

........WHAT MORE I CAN SAY...  NOT ONLY THOSE-INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES FACE CHALLENGES; BUT OTHERS (THAT CAME FROM THE SAME BACKGROUND) DO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF CHALLENGE.. WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS HOW THE COUPLE WORKS WITH EACH OTHER, HOW THEY  DEAL WITH THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE FAMILY'S STABILITY; KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE HEADING TO; N MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW TO NUTURE THE LOVE SO THAT IT WOULD STAY (LIKE) FOREVER..  =)

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas to all friends out there!! For those who are not celebrating the birthday of The Saviour, I wish you a happy holiday!!

Now, my siblings and I really love this one song. Its catchy and enjoyable.

I must look for Rudolph's horn before I'm flying back to Song! ^^

 ## What I want for Christmas? What to give for Chrismas? ##
##Fav. Q&A eyh? ehehe..##

I started playing netball when I was in Standard 4.. I started as a substitute.. :P later.. after gaining a few experience and master some skills, I became the Center.. Was a dedicated Centre until Form 2... So many girls wanted the position badly (which I can't understand why..), that they pull their face with others.. (so choosyy laahh..) erkk? (because of fame? maybbbeee.. ) so, I decided to step back.. Made me a winger.. WA can, WD also can.. made me a good player though, whereas, i can play any positions because I love netball and i don't mind with the position thingy. (not trying to boast here.. heheh.. ) the best part is, when you r in a strong team, being a GK is heaven! hahaha.. Now, when im moving to the new school, I become a GA; sometimes GS.. until present.. ooopssie.. last year to be exact, December 2009.. ehehe.. =P

Well, for me, every positions in a netball team do special in every means.. Center is the heart of a team, the WD, GD helps to defend, the WA, GA helps each other to forward the ball to GS; of which GS is the final destination+the dream of points addition.. ehe.. Netball is about tactic, discipline, coordination, passion, teamwork.. its about finding the right time to do the right thing.. its about satisfaction and friendship!

Owhh. i miss my time with my teammates.. =)

*This was taken in year 2008 @ Kelantan.. M with the KPPK team back then.. =)

Ehe.. I've been telling myself that m gonna experience a few surprises this month of December.. Well.. to start.. JPP Treasure Hunt 2010.. It was indeed a pleasant experience.. Never crossed my mind that we will b d champ! Hehehehe.. Yesterday was my nephew's 1st birthday-which i believe most of you know him; darling Raymos Fernandez.. Ehehe.. (HE IS SO ADORABLE!!!! Can't wait to meet him.. approx. 11 days to go! ehe..)

Now today, 10th of December.. our exam result.. ehe.. guess what, I made it! (I mean, no fail papers.. eheh).. My GPA increased and I'm very proud of myself because I managed to do much better than the previous semester.. Thanks to the dedicated lecturers! Love u all! heheheh.. It is my goal to do better in each semesters... I'm not a brilliant student though, and my CGPA was K-Ok only.. ehe..

My objective is very clear; self-development!

Can't wait for the next surprises! =)

CHEERS!!

Owh ok.. A 14 yrs old girl married to a 23 yrs old lad.. Hurmmm..

She is soooo young and she is married already???!!! (Dayuummmm!!!)

Alrite.. you might say it is her fate (jodoh) to get married early..

Alrite.. you find no issue with age when it comes to marry legally..

...

..

.

BUT I'M TWICE THE AGE OF HERS
&
 I'M NOT MARRIED YET!!!!

(streessss!!!)

Hahahahha.. no biggie really.. congrats to them &
i wanna wish em gud luck + happy-married life..

Well, I had received an email from JPP inviting to participate in their 2010 Treasure Hunt. They were promoting "wat is sewerage" to public-awareness.. Well, although I'm working in the ministry that responsible for it, I don't know much though. Ehe.. (shammeeeee!).. I love treasure hunting, so,  I went looking for team mate and I also asked Kak Intan to participate too because I knew she shares the same interest.. ehe.. Well, my team consist of 4 members:-myself, Echa, Coach A (driver), & Mr. Navi. Coach A & I named our team as Lanun-Lanun (we couldn't think of any other better ideas meh! ehe). So, the hunting starts at app. 9am, soon after the briefing @ Auditorium Parcel E on  Dec 4th, 2010, Saturday morning.

3 of my members were 1st timers & I applaud them for their job well done. They really get the game real fast.. Congratulations! Ehe.. KSU graced the flag-off ceremony that morning.. (She has been coughing during her speech.. poor thing.. hope that she recovered soon..) When it was our turn, we reset the counter and followed the tulips 'dedicately'.. Ehe.. We managed to follow the map until we lost our way @ Nilai for 1 hour. That was because misread the tulips! Ehe.. Despite the lost & diziness, we managed to reach Thistle PD 10 min. late... means 4 points penalty!  =)

Ehe.. Here.. Catch some of our pictures! Ehe..

WE ARE THE CHAMPION!

Hurraaayyyyy!!!!

I went to a teambuilding course @ Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, Perak @ 23-25 Nov. 2010. It was organized by our HR Dept. for those who have not achieved the attending-7-day-courses-a-year.. hehehehe.. Well, when I seek for my boss' permission to participate, I was surprised that she let me go.. It was like once in a blue moon.. "She really-really- really let me go?!" Ehe.. well, all these while it was really hard to attend courses esp. courses that doesn't "related" with my job.

Well, I was quite awkward during the course. I'm a lady with no interesting personality nor excellent PR.. Yeah, as expected, am not that good in making acquaintance.. (but was elected as the Penghuluwati? wat der park?! hahah) So, I was thinking of keeping down low and go with the flow.. I did enjoy my time there although I felt something missing somewhere... Maybe because I don't have my good friends around? Naahh. It was just that I haven't gone to any courses for quite sometime now.. Ehe.. well, I did learn a lot too; especially pertaining to workplace relationship. Well, OM normal thingy; supervisors, subordinates, office, upwards, downwards, delegating, how to work together, etc.. ehe.. the faci also touches a lil bit about relationship between hubby-wifey; more to family institution i would say. He told us that, one's performance is very much affected with his/her well being at home.. Next thing is, every relationship must have 'LOVE'.. It is not a lovey-dovey term occay? ehe.. when you have love to one another, you will have the emphaty.. and that made you  a person with "heart". Never look down others as they are humans like yourself; which is, human is the most perfect creation that ever He made. What made us so special and what made us different is the way we think & what is inside us.. Nobody is wrong, it is only opinion that can be mend for a betterment. Made me interested to become a motivator; like Pak Ya.. ehe..

Well, I did take some photos during the session. Do enjoy them.. peace! =)

* I WANNA ATTEND MORE COURSES! =)

Bruno Mars..

You make my day today with the wonderful song
"Just the way you are"..
Thanks to Wa, I began to like this song and now  lovin it..

Awwwhh...

I'm so-in-to this line:-
"When I see your face, There's not a thing that I would change, Cause you're amazing, Just the way you are, And when you smile, The whole world stops and stares for awhile, Cause girl you're amazing, Just the way you are"..

"Just The Way You Are"

(Bruno Mars)

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

I love seeing ladies in their makeups and dashing clothes and pretty accessories..

I wanted to be like them but I'm not at ease

I know I am a plane-jane.. But I'm cool with it..

Promises are meant to be broken..

Contradict with your belief?

Get used to it..

So never promise a thing..

Just do what you wanna do..

Don't let people live in anticipation with your promises..

Chica, Hani, Tikah n I meet up last night @ Dapur Mas Precint 9.. We were planning to do our CTU quiz online together... I bring along Coach A, dinner+quiz-zing! Ehe.. Well, Our 1st trial to be exact.. We need to answer the quiz provided by our Ustaz ~ online.. It was a multiple choice question.. Now, we did the first quiz (only knew that it was some sort of exercise after we completed the quiz).. The questions were kinda easy, but, the answers, phewwwww.. Need to read lotsa books in order to get the most correct answer.. Ehe.. Afterwards, we tried another quiz-and that was for real. We must answer the 11qs in 1/2 hr time! ehe.. Im kinda excited of this mode.. Altough I didnt do well, 2/5.4? hahaha.. My frenz and I were puzzled n kinda at rage when we got the result.. Ehehe.. You know why; because we were so confident that we get everything right.. ahaha... Good lesson though; never treat anything for granted.. So, 1st experience answering Qs online-not bad at all.. They should do dis more often (faci.).. so, we dont have to do assignments n all dat.. :P hahaha.. Now, I remember I have 2 tasks to do before the dateline.. !! HURRY UPPPP!!! XD

Its almost 7..

and I'm still on my desk at the office..

with a cup of coffee as the sun goes down..

It was raining minutes ago..

I miss seing the rain falls onto the rooftops..

at the orchard.. waiting for the durians to fall...

The memory of my childhold keep playing inside my mind lately..

I still remember learning how to ride a bike-big one! my Apa's bike..

How determine I was back then although my knees bleeding as I landed on the land.. ehe..

.

.

.

I wanna cry.. for not enjoying my every moment with the peoples around me..

peoples who left to other world..

I almost shed my tears.. for not being at my best.. until present, I'm still the old me..

Happy Birthday Malaysia and Happy Brilliant-Birthday to my love! =)

Well yesterday, Coach A came back from kampung.. Avoid getting caught in traffic jam should he come back this weekend I presume.. =) I am excited.. Been 10 days not seeing him.. :P He left his house at 1.22pm (dat precise Jac?!! Ehe), reach my house at 5.36pm.. Shoot rite away to the Curve for a movie-Resident Evil (3D)! First time going.. First time watching 3D muvi.. Ehe.. Noticed that he's getting darker.. Raya sakan bang? hahaha.. We had our early dinner before the show starts & catch up with each other (although, we sms everyday.. :P).. Poor thing.. After a long drive, he ought to have a good rest.. Instead, going out with me.. "Nampak awak terus hilang penat!" Awwhhh.. sweet pumpkin..

Now.. lets talk about the movie.. (I'm not good at reviewing I warn you.. ehe)

Well.. Firsly..I'm kinda awkward wearing 2 eyeglasses at 1 time! ehe.. Rabun tegar beb! Ahaks.. 2ndly, kinda dizzy at first, but d eyes adapting to it just nice.. the seat was o-k.. (im hoping for a higher back chair!).. the temp pun ok-no shivering at all! surrounding-CHECKED!

*Coach A @ Ginza Clock Tower-Tempat Kejadian*

The movie starts with rainy nite at Japan.. where the plague started.. ehe.. stailll... The Alice(s) were trying to get inside the Umbrella HQ to kill the boss.. Unfortunately, when they almost get him redhanded, he managed to escape! On the heli, the real Alice awaiting for him & trying to kill him.. she almost did it but the bad guy bertindak dengan lebih pantas.. cucuk Alice dengan jarum and neutralised here ability.. Alice said thank you for making her human again.. hahah.. They crashed but Alice still alive.. So, she travelled to Alaska on that cute red-plane to look for the safe place that she heard from the radio. The place called-"Arcadia"

*I love the actions! As seen on the advert! :) Even better!

*Whoaahh the guns looks alive n how i wish the bullet dat projected from the gun were bigger/nearer.. rase macam kite lak yang kene tembak..

[I'll cont. later.. need to finish my task coz I'm going out later in the afternoon]

(macam nak buat diari lak.. ehe.. sort of..)

Well.. i woke up late today.. almost 7! Ehe.. Seems that I enjoyed my sleep very much.. So, i quickly get prepared to work.. No nasi goreng today.. At the office, I make myself a cup of coffee and have a slice of cheese for breakfast.. Fyqa n susk are working today.. more company! :) First question from susk, "are you ok?" hahahaha.. i dunno how to answer, so,  "yes sir.. everything is fine".. hahah.. then, he asked to do some letters and memos.. ok.. back to business.. ehe.. at the same time, reading SERIUS blog.. ehe.. Love the entries from him.. So refreshing and informative.. (read it on ur own discretion.. ).. i love this one entry of his; about a guy who took photos with  his polaroid camera.. made the passion coming back 2 me.. awhh.. been a while since i didn't take photos.. don't have the feel though.. ehe.. so, gotta prepare the gear and shot some of Lord's amazing creation.. yeahh babyy..

I wake up early this morning.. at 5.30am.. It was raining cats and dogs.. Real cold and windy.. but i go ahead with my bath.. brrrrr.. Later on, i cook myself nasi goreng.. afterwards, get prepared to work & off I go! My neighbour didn't balik kampung I guess.. (or maybe just came back yesterday?).. saw a few buluh (lemang) that has been successfully eaten outside of the house.. uuurrgghh.. they must had not noticed that I'm inside the house! =P When I reached the parking area, I can see only a small number of cars parked there.. Otherwise, hari biasa, sure penuh! The traffic was smooth and clear.. (meaning, no need to change d gear so many time.. ahakss) Meanwhile, at the office, only left Mr. Teh and I .. I noticed a few docs that big boss had go through.. so, updates and updates! new folders and new folders! ehe.. but somehow, altough d job is getting lumpy, i love being occupied with work.. (helps me to avoid thinking unneccessary thingy..) So sunyi lorh.. But.. heaven coz i can listen to my playlist aloud! ehe.. ;) The rest of the day will be filled wisely and calmly.. i hope.. yeah!

Well, yesterday I went to my cousin's place at Sentul. I thought the plan to try this Mi Kolok at somewhere-i-don't-know-the-name-but-know-where-it-is is still on.. So, when i reached there, i waited outside and send sms to her.. but after waiting almost an hour, i'm getting confused of why she didn't reply me.. so i tried to reach her, but straight to the voice mail.. hahaha.. waiting for nothing eh.. so, terpaksalah masuk and smile towards the guards so that they let me in.. without asking too much, the gate was opened.. Maybe my looks was much alike with Puss-in-Boots that time.. ahaks.. Knocked the door few times, luckily Cen noticed and open the door for me.. gamal bari wai! ahaks.. and so they were in dreamlands when i reached there.. hahaa.. Una n B immediately wake up  n prepared breakfast.. poridge and boiled egss and fried anchoivies (do i spell it right? haha).. reminds me of my own family.. miss em.. later on, layan DVD of Iban songs-karaoke! luckily theres no mic, otherwise i'm gonna sing my heart out.. Andrewson Ngalai's songs of year 1994/1995 were the best! Then, continue with Ricky El and Sima.. sempat gi gossip2.. hahaha..

Una and B were busy preparing lunch (wait a minute.. we just had our breakfast..?) haha.. thats Iban style.. eating time is fixed! no matter you are full or not, interested or not, the guests will be attended sebaik mungkin.. although sudah makan, and relax, there must be something to munch n drink.. ehe.. the host will do their best, give out what they have to entertain the guests.. so, never let them down and accept the gesture wholeheartedly.. So, mind you, the menu were MARVELLOUS!! Dah lama enda makai lauk Iban.. Kasam Ensabi, Kasam Ikan, Ensabong+Salai Lumik, Kepayang.. Urggghhh!!! Im full n never been full like this.. Yeah, the food that we ate since we were a child will never defeat the food that we have now at somewhere far from home.. yeah baby yeah... After the great lunch, we watching tv.. n then.... penggg! asleepp.. It was very windy at Una's place... :P

After an hour nap, Una wake us up & ajak jalan2.. She wanted to look for something.. the blouses didn't fit her no more.. CONGRATS una! ehehe... So, the nearest place I could think of is Berjaya Times Squares.. It was near.. 10min. drive.. well, because the traffice was clear lah.. During our time at BTS, we wander around; in-n-out of the shops.. had our evening tea @ Mc'D ... (ahaks).. then continue searching.. At last, we did our purchase at the 1st shop that we entered.. hahaha.. afterdat.. balik rumah terus lah.. no play2.. balik 2 boleh pulak aku sesat.. so terpaksala jalan2.. hehehe.. luckily not that far.. phew.. how a missed-turn can turn our head around.. haha.. Later, lepak jap tengok Gong.. ok gak lah.. owh Fasha Sandha.. hope u find the happiness that u r looking for.. =) pastu dinner.. then baru balik.. ehe.. That was the summary for yesterday's activity.. Friday n Saturday? hahaha.. Friday-lepak d whole day at house watching TV-of course, Bones.. Criminal Mind.. Bones.. Criminal Mind..

Okies.. g.t.g now.. :)

Hye all.. I created this new blog to share my almost-everyday experiences in general. I do have another page but I prefer to keep it to myself and my close friends only. No offend, but some are better left inside the closet. However, I know that there are certain things that we can't keep  for ourself only. "Sharing is caring" they say. So, I do hope in future, there are plenty of marvellous photos uploaded, excited stories to be shared..  and I welcome any comments for the purpose of betterment.
