Farah's Life of What It Takes

Waiting

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 12:16:00 +0000

I have to admit that I'm such an impatient person and I can be a difficult one when I have to wait. Last month, I decided to order a Coach bag that I'd found out the price is almost 50% cheaper than the price they have here. Until today, I still haven't got the bag, yet. Probably the bag will be delivered on Monday. Well, lets hope it will be delivered or I'll be insane for the whole month. I'm not joking. I must receive the bag this Monday. Seriously, I mean it. Ok, that sounds too pushy. But, pleaseeee! Oh, it really makes my heart soft when looking at it. Kristin, I really wanna meet you.

I haven't gone for shopping for quite a while and I really hope that I can do this next week. Only 2 things that I really want to buy this time. Yea, I strictly in need these 2 items - a pair of new jeans and a pair of shoes. A really comfy wedges and skinny washed jeans. Woah! Now I become impatient when saying about this.

This is hard

Salam ramadhan everyone!!

I just hope that it’s not too late to wish everyone selamat berpuasa and won’t be too early for selamat hari raya!

Since I just started back to write in again, I really hope that I would write something meaningful rather than just updating, no? Even though meaningful means a good rant to me. Haha! Well, I do hope everything I did would make a good difference to my life even sometimes it doesn’t turn out to be that good. After moved in, I just realized it is not easy to be on your own feet - to handle everything on your own, for me at least. Not sure about you. I would in definite to go back to Seremban for every weekends or every chance that I have just to have an ease of peace (woah!)

To get something to eat I would say is the hardest. I had to make a good 3 rounds just to secure a parking. I got honked by a horny driver twice. Yes, twice for the one time that I was trying to buy a McD. Had to go through traffic jams where it only takes you 15mins of walking. Its not like I don’t want to walk but we rarely see people walking. And plus I was from work so it would be easy to stop by before home.

I can be cranky all day because of these traffics. I mean, who doesnt? And where are these people come from? Do they have anything better to do rather than get the roads more crowded? Ok ok it’s silly. But can you just take another road, people?

Not to mention that I’m so so so broke this month that I hardly afford of RM199 for astro installation. What I'd be doing would be watching DVDs every day before we can have astro at home. Sad, I know. All and all, I can only see not-so-good things but of course, we can only hope something good, yes? Oh maybe when I wrote this, I wasn’t in a really good mood. Hehehe

Ok, see you guys. I’ll write anything up soon.

Moved In

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 09:03:00 +0000

I just moved in for a week. Besides save times of traveling, honestly I have nothing much to say about it. Oh, actually I do want to say something! I want to say the fact that how much I like the house area. I can have almost a lot of things just in front of the house. Well, it's not exactly in front of the house, it's nearby. A variety of restaurants which is the most fact that I like. I got a chance to stop by of one of the bookstore too where they have cheap books, really cheap that I'm so going to visit tonnes of times. I know, its going to be so much fun!

I'm looking forward for one of my housemates to move in next week. Things won't be this lame if she is around, I guess.

Wait, have u got yourself anything during the sales? I really thought of not getting myself anything as I just moved in to the new house. But, yeah. I did anyway. I really have a thing for shopping which is hardly to resist. Ok lah. Hope u guys are enjoying the weekend!

New House

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:48:00 +0000

Im moving to a new house which nearer to my workplace next week. It has been hectic as there are a lot of things to be done, and a lot of shopping to do as well. I've been living with the parents since I started working, now might be the time to move. Hence, alot of shopping. I think I just mentioned shopping twice now. Haha. Probably I need to take MC on Friday to take care of stuffs as I'll be going to work from there starting on next Monday. Ok, I'll post an update once I moved to the new house next week.

K, byebye

Wish

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 00:25:00 +0000

How I wish I could change my mundane Friday into:

1. Lying on the beach forever
2. Having my stroopwafels and coffee with friends
3. Giggling and gossiping like the world has no ends
4. Of not thinking of going to work again on Monday

A Trip

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:24:00 +0000

Sabah is great. We finally headed off to Sabah after 8 months we bought the tickets. Having a vacation with these guys was awesome. Of knowing me, I was almost this close to cancel my leaves not only because I was so lazy and over excited to know that Shell VP was coming for a visit, which happened during my leaves. At that time, I was too worried that I wasn’t having my chance to get the Shell cert and free stuff that were given out. Hehe.

But, I took the leave, anyway. The 5 days of holiday were great and really enjoyed myself! These are photos taken by Tora’s digicam as I forgot to bring mine.

Of a Year

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:23:00 +0000

It has been a year? Man, I've never realised. I'm actually just lazy and day by day, I just don't feel like updating. If you wondering, I occasionally do some visits the blogs that I've listed and I just feel so easy to get updates from facebook rather than blogs.

Been a year of not updating this blog, means almost a year of my time working in HP for Shell. It was not the same time that I had while I was in IBM. Well that also means that the end of my first year of being a contractor. After the 1 to 1 session that I had with my manager, I still in blurry situations of not knowing what will be my position in this company, whether I’ll be the permanent or continuing the contract for another a year.

At the moment, I’m just doing my job as per usual. I still have to go through the shifts rotations every month even though that is exactly what I’d want to avoid to when I had my plan leaving IBM before. Other than that, everything is quite ok for me.

Hmm life is pretty plain, there’s nothing much that I can blurt out. So I guess this would be a start. I’ll think something that I can write on for next updates. See you.

Updates

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:41:00 +0000

I never thought that I will leave of no updates for so long. Cos I never thought that it would be that difficult for me to find time during the working hours to update.

I guess, you wont even bother?

My life is getting good - in terms of work, friends, social life, well I guess so.

Im planning to go to the Rock The World next week, as I'm struggling to manage my bed time before I could go. I hope I can write more often after this.

Farewell, IBM

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 07:37:00 +0000

I'm L.E.A.V.I.N.G

ByeBye

MTV World Stage

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:48:00 +0000

I'm soooooo glad that a friend asked me to do this. Even exhausted soooo gile. Tapi, worth every effort. Should I mention best gila? Hahaha. It was, best gila!

Twenties Girl

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:33:00 +0000

This time, I just got the right timing to have the first version of Sophie Kinsella's new book - Twenties Girl that was published last month on July 21st. Well, I never have this planned, but just enough to say that I'm lucky enough this time. However, I failed to get the hard cover version of this book, even though I paid the same costs for the paperback version! !Yes, Seriously! Whatever it is, I have the book!! Coincidentally. I'm just so glad.

Click to get the book! Yes, Click! Click! Click!

For the sake of updating

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 13:57:00 +0000

I certainly have a plain life for the past 3 months. Really. That’s the main reason of not updating the blog. Means, I certainly have nothing neither exciting things to be up to nor complaining to. Its not that I haven’t done anything to brighten the day, it just it will ended up me sitting at a couch watching Knocked Up for countless times. Certainly, it is not I really that enjoy to do.

I tried to somewhat change of my routines. Because, I once read that a small thing that we change in life will bring a lot of difference. So, I decided to have a healthy lifestyle, keep my money away from mall and tried to catch up with friends whenever free. Honestly, I have no idea and I have never found any difference about it. Well maybe I couldn’t see it enough. First, most of my friends are married and waiting for a due to labor a baby. Second, I can't have a healthy lifestyle if I have to stay awake until 4 in the morning just in case anything happen. And third, keeping money from the mall isn't simple enough if I have to go there every week. Ok Ok, I lied. Not that all of my friends are married and pregnant, but it’s really hard to schedule to meet up, you know, with this kind of work schedule I have. And I’m trying to jog more regular whenever I have free time as my contribution of having a healthy lifestyle. Practically, I don't really stay awake until 4 whenever I'm on night shifts. It is just me to add some spices to make the story big. And the third one, I’m not really going to mall every week, but still that’s the toughest one.

Well, I go to work whenever I have to, and most of my working days are during weekends. My working life - still sucks, because I still have to beg my boss to have a completely decent weekend. Now you think your life is bad? Even changes won’t make my life better. Ok, not to say better but have to inject that kind of excitement, I guess?

Two things that for sure as for now. I’ve become lazy and complainer. Two combos that can make me die fast. And for any reason that I listed out, the permanent solution would be - find a better job.

New Phone

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:14:00 +0000

I really want to have a new phone - whether to have the 3G IPhone or Blackberry Storm. But I couldn't make the decision. And I don't have that such money. Kesian, kan?

To have more or less?

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 30 May 2009 14:04:00 +0000

Everyone who knows me knows how hectic my schedule is. I have to admit how struggle I am to cope with the schedule. Oh well, I don't have to mention again for how many hours I supposed to sit in front of PC and how many hours I take to travel back and forth from Seremban to Cyber. However, how tiring I am working for about half of a day and sometimes even more , at the end of the month, the pay is worth every single effort.

This time, I'm not so sure whether to complain or just let it be. This is the thing. For next month, they have decided to implement a new schedule pattern for permanently 12 hours shifts with 12-13 days of off days per month. And of course, they will be cutting off the pay as well so that we'll have more off days. So now, the question is - do I need more off day or do I need more pay? Frankly, the number of off days that will be given is good, but I also need more money. Aiihh. I just don't know how I'm going to budget with a little money but so many things to buy hehehehehe.

Ok, just a bit update about the issue I had for the past few weeks. Well, my life's getting better now. Besides the money thingy, I'm quite Ok. Yep, seriously. I can finally rest my head onto something real.

A weird day for me

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:38:00 +0000

I'm on night shifts again, this week. This will be prolonged till end of month and to be precised, I only work in the morning for only 3 days this month. I woke up at 1pm today as I received a fucker phone call from "some reminder" informing that I have few thousands balance of credit that have not been settled. Ashamedly, I called the number that the person told me was a Bank Negara's. I was so sleepy at that time and pissed off because someone was just woke me up from my sleep, and at that moment I accidentally revealed some confidential information to the guy. Double stupid. Due to this incident, both of my ATM and credit cards will be blocked for at least a week. Really.

Not to forget that earlier of this month, I have 52k debited to my account. Can you imagine? It's not just 500 ringgit or 5k but I'm talking about 50k of cash money. How could possibly a person will debit such amount to someone account? Apparently, the next day I found out it was our HR. Hahaha funny, isn't it?

I have another personal issue that would so impossible for me to publicly tell. Just to let you know that I'm not happy at the moment. There are a lot of things going on and it happened one after another. Now, this. My heart is full of hate, regret and anger. I can't seem to see anything positive of what that had happened. How do I release this, and quick? Surely, I believe that every cloud has a silver lining and there's always a blessing in disguise. I really want this to end quickly.

Little friend

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sun, 17 May 2009 14:59:00 +0000

My best buddy, and used to be my shopping mate is now married. Congratulations and I wish your happiness till the end.

Classical Movie

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 16 May 2009 00:29:00 +0000

The classical mood, well it wasn't a phase. It's for real. I think, I'm in love with those movies. I just wonder, how could I possibly fall in love with such movies because I hate history and I hate ancient things. I think, it might be because how I like the way they are so polite in throwing words and how they control themselves of not being over reacted. And I love the way they dressed. And I love the dance. And, they are stupidly romantic! Hehehe

Haaa! That was what I did of 4 days off. I woke up at 6 something-something in the morning then I watched movies until 10. I was soooo heavenly relax. Oh, come on, you know me. What would be greater than that?

Anyway, I would say The Illusionist, Little Women and Becoming Jane are my favorites among all. So, what's next? Still waiting for another classical movie to be screened?

Blast Out Sale

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:32:00 +0000

Topshop will be having this sale soon. How soon? This soon. The sale will start on this 7th. I'm so thrilled. I'm soooo in, Ok!

Last month, I did my visit to Topshop and I was quite disappointed because the prices were so overrated and so out of my budget. Got few items that caught my eye but again, how I wish I would have more money to shop. Hehehe.

I'll be running to Midvalley again by end of this week and will be visiting Topshop again. And hopefully this time, they got it right cause I can't be patient to shop more. Till then, see you!

This is a good thing that I've ever done in my entire life. Sad? Oh, I'm so stressed out in making this decision. And in whatever reason, I somehow hesitate. Did I make the correct choice? What will be the outcomes? Do everyone will be happy in my decision? Of course I need help. And most of the opinions that I received saying that this is the correct decision to make. But why do I still feel like to go the other way?

I know, I'm a good girl. And this is the good decision to make. Oh! peace, embrace me. Let me calm and bring me happiness.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:24:00 +0000

I couldnt stop smiling when I saw this book at MPH yesterday. Then, I straight away to the counter and paid for it and I'm reading this at the moment.

Cut the long story short. Someone introduced me to this book. He was really excited when telling me about the book and I could tell that this going to be good for my reading. And since after He's Just not that Into You, I started to read Where Rainbows End but it couldnt satisfy me much. The story, I tell you, was way too dragging and really make me feel totally down the drain. Hahaha! Am I just being too dramatic? Um, maybe I didn't feel enough the story, but Nurul had read it and was totally loved with the story. Or may be, I'm the one who had problem with the book?

Perhaps, someone might have already read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari? Tell me what do you think of it.

Another rant

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:53:00 +0000

I know! I know!
Every time writing, it seems I have no other ideas to put on. I'm soooo lazy. I just hate the job so much. Its very difficult for me to say about it. But I just hate it! And I hate everyone here!

I want to sleep! And I want a happy life. I need help!

My moment

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:36:00 +0000

Remember this quote?

"I lied. I'm not out of this relationship. I'm in. I'm so in, it's humiliating because here I am begging. Ok here it is: Your choice, it's simple: her or me. And I'm sure she's really great... But Derek, I love you. In a really really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let your eat the last piece of cheese cake, hold a radio over my head outside your window! Unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me!"

Am I that desperate? Hell, no!! I just miss my Greys Anatomy moment.

Super lazy!

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:48:00 +0000

Oh! Oh!
I'm soooo lazy. I don't want to come to work because its AF night! And its weekend, for god sake! I want to lay down in front of tv and stay there until 2 in the morning. But I have to come to work. And I'm working alone. Sangat boring, ok!!!!

Oh well, thats all I want to say as for now. ByeBye.

About the book: He's just not that into you

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 10:58:00 +0000

So. I read the book, from chapter to chapter and I laughed about every single thing that the author trying to describe in every situations. The book is really funny and teach us well how to more appreciate about ourselves and how to avoid ourselves from jerks or assholes (like what Greg described it). Macam orang kita selalu kata, menanti bulan jatuh ke riba, betul?

But the most important is, if you happen to read this book (just happen because I told you so), just make sure that yourself clear what is Ok and what is not and do your own judgement of a correct decision to make, ok? Well, happy reading everybody!

And Yes! Get the book! Click! Click! Click!

When he's just not that into you

noreply@blogger.com (farah adila) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:24:00 +0000

I watched BTS from my fav E! channel last week. I do feel like to read the book before I go to watch the movie. Since I'll be off tomorrow, I'll be hunting for the book. I haven't read any books nowadays. So it'll be a good start for my 2009 reading.

I'm going to read the book, and watch the movie. And I'm pretty sure that I'll have no regrets about it.

Well, this is just a snippet of day I had today. I dont know how I might explain this. But I was quite disappointed about the words that he threw me. Just to make you know, it really hurts my feeling. And I decided to back off.

Lately, I'm trying not to judge people. Because sometimes when I judge, it might not seen as what I imagine it is. So, I decided to see and understand the details before jump to conclusion.

Ahh! It's such a messy entry I have here. I have a lot of things in my brain that I want to tell.
