Pasifika Festival

Me, HR and Dyau. Faris was elsewhere.
We were watching some interesting performance in Samoa village.

Who said you can't eat ice cream when it's raining?
I'm still having sore throat today.

with Miss Samoa.

Kiribati Village in the rain.

Ikan bakar in the rain. Perfect.

Great time with lotsa food. So many performances. Brought home freebies. Rain was not so bad.

si comel

As some people know, I bought new laptop last few weeks replacing my old one. I mean, its broken. There's nothing else I could do other than abandon the old one for a new one. I got the laptop of my dream. Small cute laptop. I do not need any futuristic and canggih features. Or any big spaces. I just need something that I can carry around in my handbag.

And I also promised Ten to post my new laptop pictures. Oh, the laptop name is hp mini. And I don't anything else about it except I can do my assignment, play my movies and also enjoy my solitaire once in a while.

ye, raksasa merah itu adalah HR

March is a great month

So far looking at my planner on my bedroom wall (yang asyik jatuh kalau angin kencang), i smiled. My days are full with activities. Every weekend I have fun stuff to do.

So far, I've been enjoying myself .

Jazz and Blues Street Fest

Starlight Symphony

Waiheke Island

oh random saja gambar ku.

I'm looking forward to go to Circus Oz this week. Pasifika Festival this weekend and also some other concerts. I wouldn't think the band name are worth mentioning - Not if you're kinda music is like mine.

p/s: 10 March is Nana's birthday. Love you babe!

Don't u be wasting ur money on syrup and honey coz I'm sweet enough

I got a friend who once before revealed to me that her new year’s resolution for this year is not to meet new people. She prefer not to have new sets of friends or get involve in new people. She just wanted to stick to her usual crowd. Encountering new mates are just to troublesome.

I thought her resolution is quite interesting. Not only she is known as a social butterfly, people usually wanted to expand their social circle and join more activities. What she she wanted was a completely different thing. I was somewhat impressed by it and I asked her the reasons.

She simply said that with more people, more tendency of people gossiping about you, more people you have to fake being nice with, more people to hang out with while the old crew feeling left out. She just wanted to stick by her current friends and appreciate them as they are.

Thinking about it, I realized that’s what I’ve been doing this past few years. It’s just that I did not verbalize it out loud. I mean, I used to be this girl who are very involved and joined in all the possible activity because I just like being busy.

Nowadays, I can’t remember any activities that involved me meeting new people. I mean I do stuff with the same crew like having girls night’s out or sleepovers. Just with same people that I’ve known for years. I don’t do meeting new people so well. Just this noon, the UMNO president asked Faris who am I while I was hanging out with them. While all the IPBA people meeting new people, having new relationship with fresh faces and doing fun activities with diverse people, I’m happy with the same individuals.

Up and Down

One needed to be extra specific when asking help from HR. His mind has this tendency to process the information with superfluous power and break the information differently. Then again, he is the kinda guy who always made this linguistic jokes.

His jokes always revolves around smart stuff like the other day while he was hanging out at lunch with me and Mas, and we were having sushi.

HR : How's your day?
Mas : Great. Why?
HR : I thought you are having 'crab' day.
Mas : (Having this puzzle look)

I have to actually stop munching and told her that he was being funny. Her sushi got crab and he meant crab not crap.

Oh! To my main point.

There is always confusion when I asked HR to help me out to take stuff from drawers. Any drawers. I already told him specifically. "Tolong amikkan stapler kat laci nombor dua." I pointed out where the drawers was. Specific enough right?

He couldn't manage to find the stapler.

Then I said, "Laci nombor dua dari atas. Bukan dari bawah." I mean, isn't that common sense. Dua dari atas. Unless mentioned dua dari bawah.

"Laa. You kata nombor dua." Handing out the stapler to me.

This always happen until I asked him, "What makes you think that kena kira dari bawah? Bukan selalu pun kira dari atas? Up to bottom. Kan?"

Oh, how his mind works differently from mine.

"Kalo kira tingkat kan dari bawah. Ground flour, first floor. Mana ada orang kira tingkat dari atas. You live at fourteen floor. Kira dari bawah kan?"

I was just amazed. Next time, I guess I have to be extra extra specific.

Baa Baa Baa

After some consideration (and some more shifts at my workplace), I felt that I over-generalised the people Arabic region. I mean, there are still people who bought Fanta and Sprite instead of Coke (in which I don't know for pleasure reason or boycott reason).

I mean, I shouldn't just simply label them like I did. It's inappropriate. It's not nice. It's not me.

Anyway, after further contemplating with myself, I decided, my boss is more adequate to be blamed. If he really care about the issue, he wouldn't sell the Coke themselves. Simple. He only cares about his business and catering the demands.

Right?

p/s: These people call Coke as Cola. Sweet eh~

One for the crowd

I was just thinking as I cooked yesterday’s lunch, “What if I use Fish Curry Powder to cook Chicken curry? Or vice versa.” I mean, is that a big deal? Would it make much different? Kurang sedapkah rasanya?

Well, I wouldn’t know. Not that I have much money to spend on experimenting stuff like that. I mean, kalo tak sedap, bukan ke membazir segala ayam itu. Ah!

Anyway, I thought about this kinda stuff because, I actually forgot which one of the two bottles of curry powder is for chicken. I kinda put the powder in bottles without labeling them. And it has been a while since I cook.

Since I move to Volt and started to work, I rarely cook.

Oh, my lunch was so supersedap that Mas ate a lot. Pure satisfaction.

My sweet mom

I guess most of people know that HR is here in Auckland. So no more 'jiwang' post. You can take a deep relief breath. On the night that HR was supposed to arrived, me and Mas (my housemate) went to Starlight Symphony in Auckland Domain with some other people. The show was fantastic and the crowd that I'm with were superfun.

When I went back, I got text from my mom. It was something like this,

Dah mendarat ke pakwe kamu tuh? Sabagla jgn dok terkam mlm2
buta ni. Tggu esok. Jaga kehormatan diri. Legala kot no. Esok
tak keja kut nak meraikan. Dont be over excited.


I was laughing so hard. I know my mom was worried about me.

And no people, I dont go gushing towards the Railway Campus in the middle of the night. Its so faraway and he arrived there around twelve am. I was tired anyway. And yes, I worked the next day. Plus, I know how tiring long hours of plane is. So, I did decided earlier on to let him rest first.

I did, however, decorated his room a bit to be welcoming the day before and left him some sweet notes. I know I am romantic.

p/s: HR did some romantic stuff too.
