Eat.Pray.Love

I love it
It took me just 3 days to finish reading Eat.Pray.Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I love the book. Normally, when you reach the last page of a book, you know that's the ending, but with this book the ending is like the beginning of more questions about life; instead of conclusion, it begs more questions. I won't elaborate in details what makes me fell in love with this book. You got to read it yourself :-)

Just last weekend, I bought another book by her, Committed. It's the continuation of her previous book. So far, I like this quote "Marriage becomes hard work once you have poured the entirity of your life expectations for happiness in the hands of one mere person". Hmm...something to think about :-)

Oh, did I tell you that the movie on this book will be out by end of this year? I'm so looking forward to the movie! And guess what? On screen, Julia Robert is Elizabeth Gilbert. Can't wait. So excited. Huhu!

Maybe I will blog about Committed once I finish reading it. Till then, muahhhh!

Have you found your soul mate?


"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."

Double Celebrations, Double Happiness

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

As usual, hubby and I don't really celebrate valentine's day, sebabnya..everyday pun Valentine's Day. So what we did today was, we went to Suria Sabah for the first time..apalagi, window shoppinglah and offcourse jalan-jalan cari makan. I think we spent almost the whole day there mengukur luas Suria Sabah.

What I love most about this Suria Sabah is the Times Bookstore...boleh spent masa berjam-jam disana. I was spoiled for choices but me being prudent and savvy..., I decided to buy a book by Elizabeth Gilbert-Eat.Pray.Love. I have started reading the book, and true to what others claimed... she's that good that I can't stop turning to the next page, to see what's next. Maybe will blog about it, once I finish part one of the book.

I went to Metrojaya...and I saw others (makcik, pakcik, baby, kids and couples) were also there to window shopping. Bila masuk Metrojaya, I feel like entering a Zoo or Muzium sebabnya semua orang pun just window shopping and some even ambik gambar dengan patung-patung and decor-decor...maybe mo upload di fb kali!Hahaaa...If this trend continues, I wonder how the Metrojaya can survive!

Enough about that. I'm going to continue my reading...I'm just thankful that I'm surrounded with the people who loved me just the way I am and that my friend, is indeed a blessing. Amin.

Love makes life beautiful - Happy Valentine's Day!xoxoxo

Adnan Sempit


Managed to drag hubby and bro to watch this movie and we enjoyed every minute of it! It's very light, entertaining, lucu and at the same time ada juga moral message behind it. Casting was good, except, the lead actress - Intan Lydana, I wish MIG had chosen a better actress. Then again, it's just my opinion, I might be wrong. ...Jangan pula lepas ni kena sue...hahahaha...Apa-apapun, yang penting, Shaheizy Sam@Adnan Sempit - he's a talent to watch out for!

Ngak mau cakap banyaklah...go watch it while it's still showing at the cinema. I give 4 stars for this movie! :-D

Time out from the madness

Shaheizy Sam as Ozi Halim

Isn't he a cutie?hihi...

From now on, I make a point to work efficiently so that means I must be punctual, clock in and clock out on time. So far so good. After all arguing with a fool proves there a two - Doris M. Smith. Hahaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Anyway, bila sampai rumah awal off course the first thing I do is, tengok tvlah. Normally my favourite channel is 712 tapi out of nowhere I terclick TV3 pulak this evening.

Terus I tertengok "Kasanova XXL". It's about Ozi Halim a smart guy but gendut. His hobby is chatting, tapi because he is shy that he is gendut, he uses his brother's photo as his profile photo and guess what? Because he is such a charmer, smooth talker...adalah beberapa girls yang minat Ozi...hehee..., the story line is simple actually tapi very the lucu, I think sebab utama the lead actor Ozi Halim is a good actor and off course other cast (Rusdi Ramli, Nanu, Nadia Mustapha and Emelda Rosmila) also makes it even better. What's more funnier, Ozi bukan naturally gendut, dia pakai padding jak to make him look gendut. Tengok cara dia jalan pun lucu!Hahaaa...

Right after the show sebab yours truly super excited, I google about this show because I wanted to know who is Ozi? Then I found out that this 13 episodes of "Kasanova XXL" is directed by Suhaimi Baba, alah you know the famous director of "Pontianak" and the scriptwriter pulak the same duo who did "Pontianak" script. So kira this is their first attempt into romantic comedy genre. To which I think a good attempt!

Then I found out the actor behind Ozi is Shaheizy Sam. No wonderlah lately the entertainment industry is buzzing about him. He is a talented actor! Now that I know it's him, I might consider watching "Adnan Sempit"? Provided I can drag my hubby to watch this movie. I heard the movie meletup-letup dipanggung.

I am so looking forward to the next episodes. So peeps, if you need a feel good time out, "Kasanova XXL" is worth watching.

Good nite peeps, sweet dreams!xoxo

P/s: Ozi kinda reminded me of a close friend of mine, who is cheeky as well!

At the end of the day, the biggest reward you can get is by satisfying yourself first. Once you reach to this level, the rest is secondary.

The art of ass kissing

All these while I am a strong believer that to succeed in your career all you need to do is put your commitment to your work, perform every task and assignment given to you and most importantly, exceed your boss's expectation. That's it. It's very simple. Nothing personal nor office politics. Boy, I was damn wrong. It turns out to be that ideal scenario only exist in "Farrah's World" not in the real world.

The reality is, just by performing your assignments are not enough. You need to do ass kissing to get to the top of the ladder. Doesn't matter if you don't excel in performing your assignment. Doesn't matter if your work cincai or lack of flavour or not up to the expected standard. What actually matter is mastering "The art of ass kissing"; to which I am lacking at!!!

Perhaps I should change my ideals. Maybe from now on I should put ass kissing as my priority in work???Mungkin I kena pakai air-corn kali? Atau kipas kuat-kuat?Ehyer...

Yucks. I don't know how others do it. Hmm...I guess by the look of it, I'll be stuck in a rut for sometime. It's ok nalang, I have my principle and I am going to stick with it for now...who knows I might change my mind later. Will let you all know when that happens. Still, the mere thoughts of it, stinks!!!

Have a nice weekend, peeps!
