Personality Tests

I've been doing these personality test on Facebook and here are the results:

Dr. Phil's personality test

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out.

My view: Don't really agree on the 'center of attention' but can always agree with the last sentence...hehehe

Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Spirit. Which are you?

I am Water!

I like to go with the flow. I have some very deep feelings. I like to empathise with people and can connect with my friends on a very personal level. I like life to be straight forward and simple. I can get on with anyone no matter who. I like peace.

My view: Not bad.

What Musical Instrument Are You?

My result is: Cello

You are quite and calm. You think life is about patience, and you know exactly what you want. You are driven, smart, and very beautiful. Your friends think of you as 'most likely to succeed'. You generally have a positive outlook on things and don't let people's words get you down. You have a very opinianated personality but know how to do it in a sophisticated matter. You enjoy partying but you also enjoy sitting at home and reading a book. You love being seen as the smartest one at the table, but you are suave and don't come off as pompus. You can be misunderstood at times, and be seen as somewhat creepy with your very devilish composure. be careful, make sure to get whatever is bothering you off your chest, if let the tension build up too much you might snap a string.

My view: I don't really believe these are my characters cause they sound too good to be true. Patience is something I'm trying to adapt especially after being married and have kids. And how do I evaluate ''most likely to succeed'? I don't even have an ambition now other than expecting salary increment and be a good wife and mother. Not really enjoying a party (if is kids birthday party, yes I love them) but quite true about sitting at home and read a book. And about not bottling up inside, now I have this blog to release my tension.

Boycott Holland's Products

Due to the havoc cause by the production of FITNA movie by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, which is an insult to our Prophet, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W and Islam, Malaysia Muslim Consumer Association has called us to boycott Holland's product in a way to show how much we condemn and protest the film. More info here. The list of Holland's product is available here.

As for me, I've changed the girls' milk from Ductch Lady 123 to Dumex but when I checked again it appears that Dumex also one of the items. So it looks like I have to change to another brand. As for the petrol, I'm always the loyal customer of Petronas, so it doesn't really matter to me. But dear cik HB loves Shell, coz he wants to optimize the use of Bonus Link card. But with this boycott things, I guess he would comply.

What about you, my Muslim fellows? Are you taking part?

Tag: 5 Embarrasing Moments

I've been tagged by Zara on 5 embarrassing moments in your life. Thanks Zara, I will not complain anymore on not being tagged...hahaha.

I think I have a lot embarrassing moments, it's just a matter how vivid I remember those moments. Ok, let's see whether I can remember at least 5:

1. Trapped outside my own hotel room

It happened when I was working outstation last year in Kedah. After checked-in, I went straight to my room and called the housekeeping asking for iron and ironing board. Shortly after that, a hotel staff came to pass me the things and mentioned that once I've done my ironing, all I need to do was to put the things outside my room and he will come and collect them. Most of the time, I would take bath first, do whatever necessary things first, then only I would do the ironing. But that day, I was so exhausted, I just wanted to go to sleep after taking bath, so I was thinking it is better I finish the ironing works first before I become so lazy.

When I 've done with ironing , I put the iron and the board outside my room as told. But when I leaned the board to the wall, it fell to the floor. So I leaned forward to make the board stand, without realizing that I actually had moved outside my room, and the door closed!There I was, barefooted and no tudung. Luckily I was still dressed in my working attire...can't imagine if I've changed into the hotel kimono or worst, my kelawar dress.

I was a bit panic, but noticed at the end of the corridor, near the elevator, there was a telephone. My room situated at the other end of the corridor from the telephone, so while running to the telephone, I was hoping that no one would come out or in from/into their rooms. Once I got to the phone, I immediately called lobby but to make things worse, the person who answered my called was unable to hear me. I dialed several times and still she couldn't hear me. I was on the verge going down to the lobby myself despite that I was barefooted and uncovered head. But thinking I would bumped into my other colleagues (all guys!), and they would make fun on my situation and probably spread the news to my other officemates, I made my final attempt calling the lobby again.

And I was jumping when the lady on the other line said in her northern accent loudly to somebody " X, hang pi tgk sat apa masalah kat Tingkat Y, org ni dok call byk kali tapi aku x dengaq apa2 pon" Finally she had some senses to figure out there was a problem up there!. I waited anxiously for somebody to come, and shortly, came a male hotel staff. I smiled sheepishly at him, and explained what had happened. He just smiled and headed to my room, with me tiptoed behind him and unlocked the room.

So, you guys (especially ladies) remember to dress decently when you stay in a hotel room. Maybe you would not locked yourself outside the room like I did, but who knows you will have to clear the building due to fire or earthquake.

2. Fell in a bus

I think this is quite common. It happened to me several times but the most embarrassing was when I was in Form 3. I used to take the public bus after school as I always late and couldn't catch my school bus. Actually I hated taking public bus because it was always crowded with people and I hated some bunch of boys from my school who would disgustingly flirted with us (me and some other my girl friends).

When the bus arrived (which would take very long time waiting for it!), we would be fighting to get into the bus (so uncivilized, huh?) or else the bus will be too crowded and you couldn't board and have to wait for the next one to come. Most of the time the boys would get into the bus first and hanging on the door way like monkeys and when we girls managed to board, they made noise and flirted around. And it was difficult for us ( the girls) to stand in the moving bus, juggling our bags and books, and finding any holder to hung to, with boys so gatal around us. Most of the time, I just ignored them, and they would started calling me sombong, mcm cantik sgt and so forth. And one day, the bus somehow braked on emergency and I fell down on the bus floor, in front those boys that I resented so much! I was so embarrassed and nearly cried with the boys laughed hysterically. For many days after that, they kept teasing me on the accident. Huh! Stupid boys.

3. The boy I had crushed with, noticed my period stain

Oh! This was very embarrassing when it happened. I didn't realize that my period leaked and left a stain on my school uniform. My fault, I didn't lift up my baju kurung when I sit down. And this boy, he sat behind me in our chemistry lab (and whom I had crushed with, the first time I laid my eyes on him) called me and pointed about it with a sheepish smile. I was so embarrassed, and felt like running away and if possible didn't want to see the boy anymore. For many days, I tried to avoid this boy but since we were classmate, I finally got over the incident.

4. Wrong seat!!!

I had a date with an older ( way so older!) guy when I was in Shah Alam college, whom I met since high school but didn't really like him. Though I treated him coldly, he still made attempt to befriend with me and I couldn't run away because his brother is my elder sister's friend and he would follow his brother to my house every raya and constantly called me at my house. I finally agreed to go out with him shortly after breaking up with my first boyfriend (ala2 tensen masa ni...). As this was the first time going out with him, I was so nervous though I didn't like him. He came to pick me up at my college and when I approached him he was standing outside his car. I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I went straight into the car and sat on the driver's seat. Until he asked, did I want to drive, then only I have realized that I have sat on the wrong side. Malu! Malu!

That was the only time I went out with that guy, after that I told him straight that I was not interested, and I wanted to concentrate on my study (hahaha.....iyo lah tu!).

5. Reading poem in school assembly (because I got punished!)...and tried to adjust myself in a sophisticated place....err..school.

This was when I studied in Form1, BBGS. I hated this school for its weird school rules like you must not have any label printed on the school shoes (you have to peel it off from the shoes) you must tie your hair complete with ribbons (and only 3 colours allowed: blue, black and white). And the prefects going around the school like cops, always scrutinized you when you passed by them. And since I went to BBGS as Yayasan Selangor's sponsored student, came from small hometown and stayed in hostel, I found those rules were ridiculous. And worse, the school practiced wide English usage around the school (yeah, it was one of most prestigious school in KL) and my English at that time was so poor, I couldn't understand most of the things spoken by other sophisticated students especially the prefects. I remember one of the prefect found it so amusing that I couldn't understand her words. And she made fun of me in front of her and my friends. That time I think, those people always looked at us from Yayasan Selangor and Semai Bakti students were second-grade students.

And I got punished on the first month I was there because despite the first warning (or so the prefect said!), I still failed to eliminate the 'Pallas' label on my shoes. Actually I thought by applying the shoe white to hide the label was enough, but once the shoes exposed to the water, it went off. Yeah, I was stupid, I didn't know that I should peel off the label by using a knife or something. Because of that the prefect said I had to be punished. At first she wanted me to write an English essay which title I couldn't recall. But she changed her mind and said I must read a poem (of course in English) in our weekly assembly. I gaped horribly at the idea, knowing so much I would failed miserably, with my terrible pronunciations and stage fright.

I wanted to call sick on the assembly day but I knew as long as I attend the school, I couldn't get away from the punishment. Luckily I was to choose my own poem so a friend of mine, understanding my condition, helped. We chose a short and easy poem for me to read. When the day came, I trembled and scared. Funny is, when my name was called, I received applause. The announcing teacher didn't say anything about me being punished. I was floating while reading the poem, didn't even know whether I pronounced words correctly but I was so sure my voice was trembling. I received another applause once I've finished.

Those friends from my hostel, was amazed that I got the guts to go on the stage and read poem without knowing that I was actually got punished....hahaha (see, students from my hostel were not outstanding when it comes to stage things). I told them the truth anyway.

I stayed in the school for only a year, and after so much begging to my parents, I finally came out from there and stayed with my family. Well, being a grown up now, I have to admit though it was a painful moments but I've figured out that moments actually a learning process in growing up. Now I cherish those moments.

Wow! This is a long entry, it seems. Anyone else want to do this? Adah, Are-T, Linda, Dal, care to write something on this?

Who was your TV crush in your puberty days?

I heard this question on Morning Crew, Mix FM today and since I wouldn't call the radio to tell my story, I'd like to do it in my blog.

I had a big crush on Azhar Sulaiman. Prior to him, was Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block but I was not so obsessed about him than I was to Azhar Sulaiman. It all began when I saw him in my elder sister's 'Remaja' magazine when I was around 12 (I think la...) but the obsession started when I was 14. I remember asking for my mother's permission to watch his movie 'Abang '92' and my mother accompanied me watching that movie (she ended up liking Azhar Sulaiman after that movie....hehehe). And I went to watch again with a bunch of my friends after school time (without my mother's knowledge...yes, I was quite naughty that time). Those days the movie ticket was not so expensive, I think it was RM3 something so we could afford it by saving the school allowance. And of course the cinema was not something like TGV or GSC. The cinema building was so old, no air-con and the seats were lousy. I think nowadays those cinemas are not exist anymore, being converted to a furniture shop or shopping arcades (in my hometown la...)

I was madly in love with Azhar Sulaiman after that movie. I thought he was so handsome, with his baby-face look and so cool. I cut and pasted his photos from the newspapers and magazines and created a scrap book solely dedicated for him ( I had another collection of Leon Lai too!). My family and good friends knew about this and I got friends who would give me his photos when they could find it. And I wanted to be architect so much because Azhar Sulaiman was studying architecture at that time. I wished I could meet him someday.

I remember my mother told me that Azhar Sulaiman was getting married when I called home ( I was at boarding school...sometime in 1995, and of course I didn't get to read newspapers or magazines). I was frustrated but not that critical, well...u know, being a teenager we used to dream those silly things (like I wanna get married to Azhar Sulaiman....hahahah).

Now when I remember those days, when I was so head over heels of this celebrity, it made me smile and thinking how foolish I was. Now if Azhar Sulaiman appears in TV, it's not necessary for me to watch, not like last time, I was willing to fight with my siblings for TV channel if I knew Azhar Sulaiman will be on TV. Well, wasn't it normal for a teenager to behave that way?

So bloggers, can this one be a tag? If it is, be my guess and share your story in own blog. It'll make you smile today, I promise.....

Looking Forward For A Vacation.....

I always mention in my blog how stressful my life is with my work and shitty boss, running family errands, handling the twins (the list can go on....). And how I wish i could go for a vacation, even a short one as long as I could get away from my daily routine. But then again, due to limited budget and not enough annual leaves to spend (the upcoming weddings, remember?) planning for a vacation seems to be almost impossible.

But then I still browsed through Internet, just for fun planning for the impossible vacation. Air Asia has the website where you can play around by selecting the destination of the vacation, set the date, choose the hotel and they will provide the rate for you, syok eh? Though I know I can't go, but doing the plan somehow makes me happy. Until I found the Genting website and noticed that they have very good deal to offer. There are some offers starting from RM38.88 for 2D/1N stay in selected hotels for weekdays. And thinking that this 8 April will be a public holiday for Johor (yes, Johor only!!!) I thought why not take the opportunity to go to Genting. I immediately called my husband and discussed about this and he agreed to go (he works in a flexible environment, no need to worry whether applied leaved is approved or not).

So, this morning after reading all the details on the hotel online booking (this is the first time I booked hotel thru online), I clicked and clicked and the booking procedure completed. I received an email confirming my booking and I need to bring a copy of the email when I check-in later. It was so easy, I thought of doing it again (of course, next time yah!)

Can't wait to go although I've been to Genting several times before I got married. Of course this time, there will be no more adrenalin-goes-up kind of rides like the Solero Shot or the Dragon. I guess I've passed through that stage already. It's time to enjoy the Family Rides, the merry-go-around thingy probably. And most importantly, since we are going on the weekdays, the theme park must be quite peaceful, I guess. So we can take our own sweet time enjoying the games and rides there, I hope.

An Accident

I saw an accident this morning while driving to work. It just happened when I arrived there. There was a body lying motionlessly in the middle of the road. Some people have stopped their vehicles to check and so did I. It appeared that the accident was between a Wira and a motorbike and the body I saw was the motorbike rider and it was a woman. Alhamdullilah, she was alive and conscious. I heard someone called police and asked for ambulance to come. I wanted to go near the woman but few people already surrounded her. A lady standing next to me mentioned that the woman was probably suffered fractured legs, that's why she couldn't move. There was a cut on her forehead, but she wasn't bleeding too much. I hope her injuries are not critical. Poor her....she must be on her way to work cause she was wearing some sort of work uniform.

The accident happened at the four-junction road and apparently the traffic light was out of order. The woman was crossing the main road when she was hit by the Wira. The Wira driver was telling people that he didn't notice the woman crossing. Well, this is a two-lane road, basically it looks like highway but the traveling speed allowed is only 90km/hr. I drive through this road everyday, so I know some people don't stick to 90km/hr. They just go faster! He probably was driving too fast, he couldn't avoid hitting the woman. On the other hand, the woman must have misjudged on whether it was safe or not for her to cross, maybe. Anyway, it has happened......

As there was nothing I could do, I decided to leave and prayed that the woman will be all right. Looking at her old motorbike sprawling in the middle of the road, her packed food spread all over, I wondered what kind of life the woman has. Is she a single mother? Or if not, does her family depend on her income? If she couldn't work later, how is it? Does she has any insurance to help her in this mishap?

Still thinking about the woman........

It's So Hectic!

I came home with terrible headache but I couldn't go straight to bed. We had to go to the clinic, the twins needed medical attention as we have noticed several spots similar to that blistered skin on their bodies. It started first with Nabihah few days ago. We saw her skin was blistered near her pelvis, we thought maybe the sitter at her school did not put on the diaper properly. So we bought the pull-up pant diapers (which is so costly!) to replace the stick-on type she normally used. I even bought the antiseptic cream and plaster and packed them in her bag with a note asking the sitter to apply it on Nabihah.

But the blister gets worse...it turns to a scalded resemblance. And another spot appeared very near to the existing one. And later, her sister, Nabilah also developed two similar spots on her belly. We were worried when another spot appeared on her leg. The spots getting bigger (now as big as 1 cent coin) but not watery nor bleeding. I wonder whether it is a kind of ringworm or something. We have never encountered such thing before with the twins. Nabilah used to be allergic to seafood and insect bites but she just developed the small red spots all over her body. The problem goes off once she takes the allergic medicine which we always keep at home. And she has not developed the problem quite sometime now even when she eats seafood. So it's better we refer them to doctor for consultation and appropriate medicine. Maybe the antiseptic cream is not the answer.

We took them to this one clinic which I don't favor because the other two clinics in my husband's panel clinic list were not opened. I don't like this clinic because the doctors are not friendly (yes, so far all the doctors I've met in this clinic wear the same unfriendly faces), the clinic always crowded (not because they are good, but because the clinic opens 24 hours and holds long list of company using them as panel clinic). Even the front counter staffs somehow have some sort snobbish attitude. I keep swearing to myself that I would not come to this clinic ever again in every last visit but still we come here because of its convenience (this clinic is the nearest one to our home, it opens 24 hours, it's a panel so we don't have to use our money especially at the end of the month...wallet getting thinner....heheheh).

At the time we arrived, a group of foreign workers just came out from the clinic. I believed they were there to do some necessary medical check-up. It took us nearly half an hour waiting to be called and I was nearly dozed off due to my headache. And with two toddlers (the twins!) running, jumping and making noise at the place, it was torturous enough for us. The doctor who was on duty, was not even smiling when we entered the room. Don't they know that smiling is one way to heal a patient?

So we told her the twins' situation and showed the spots. She said she couldn't tell exactly what it is but it's probably a skin disease (well, I also know that, mind you!). She said if the disease keeps persisting after three days, we will have to come back and she would refer us to dermatologist. She prescribed us a medicated cream and syrup. And waiting for the prescription to be ready took us another 10 minutes. It annoyed me as I saw the staff handling the prescription section kept changing the TV channels. Or was I being impatient? Yeah, I was very impatient because all I wanted was to go home and rest.

But after the clinic, we had to take the dinner first which took us another 1 hour before we finally got home. By that time, I was feeling so bad, I nearly threw up. I knew this was not the normal headache but accompanied with wind, and I guess it happened because I accidentally skipped my lunch yesterday. I took the ginger ENO to relief the wind before I went to sleep. I just hope that the headache was not related to high blood pressure (my bp level is abnormal, remember?).

I woke up this morning feeling a bit dizzy and so unmotivated to go to work. But MC is a big NO-NO as I have important works to do today. I think I need to got for a get-away or a relaxing spa to make me feel better.

I hope I'll be more energetic today even after the office hour because I have tonnes of house chores to do at home. Before I left to work, I noticed there was a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and on the table. The hall is a mess and laundry baskets are already full. Not to mention, the pile of washed but unfolded clothes on the bed in the spare room.

Don't you think it's hectic enough for me?
