it's on her.. Rama V

Asked her out today and she insisted that she pay for dinner at Rama V Jalan U thant.. It is near to Indonesian Embassy. The place is surprisingly classy and elegance. Purported as Thai fine dining. Indeed it is fine.

Surprising to her, the place was packed with people of all kind and age. We went for tomyam, deep fried groper fish with 3 kind of chilly sauce and kangkung belacan.

The food was good and fine, I will give 9.5 out of ten. Well, can i define perfection? I hope that the tom yam will have more things in it with the RM20 value..

Otherwise, the dishes was awesome.

Later, i took her to a newly established yogurt outlet near her place.. Yogen Fruz at Jalan Jelatek.. since there was not ample space inside the outlet.. well, not comfy for us so decided to enjoy the sips of yogen fruz by the pool at her place.. i think it is better than tutty fruity. with slightly better texture.

It was a fine talk by the pool .. until dark comes.. well until they switched off the light at the pool.

Am I moving too fast?

Perhaps it is time to put the brake on. Perhaps I am moving too fast that she did not have the time to miss me. Anyway, she's having her final exam this coming friday. She said she wanted to go to Genting Highland, but then after few hours, she said she was not feeling well and wanted to stay at home and rest. Tried to persuade her to go out with me anyway but not wanting to sound desperate, I hold back.

12/4 - it was the final exam for our subject. i finished earlier than most of them including. I waited for her at the parking lot and she was happy to see me.. waiting. We went for a late supper at our usual place, Sri Niara Seafood at taman Melawati. We brought o ja as well.

11/4 - it was our longest (study) date ever - 12 hours. it started at great eastern mall where we spent our time studying at starbucks. the place had the perfect atmosphere.. and we were at ease studying from 10.30 to 3.30 when our stomach started to growl and ask for a proper lunch/meal. Nonetheless, we ate a sandwich at O'Brien while studying. Then we went to Taiwan House near my place for taste of soup. She said she always go there whenever she dropped by near my place. We then planned to continue our studying at a restaurant near her place.. but decided to park at her visitor's parking since the parking nearer to the restaurant is 3 ringgit per hour even on a public holiday until 2 am. But as we were going out of her compound, we decided study underneath a tree inside her condo's compound. When it was about to get dark she invited me to her place to perform prayers. It was indeed the first time I went to her house (this was after the third time I went to her compound.. the first was on the 1st of April when I sent her home after eating at Kenny Rogers. After 8, we went to the iranian restaurant to continue our studying and dinner.. the food was not that nice and the place was not really appropriate for study because of the lighting..but nevertheless, we stayed until it was almost 11.. i sent her home then i wen home myself.. it was a tiring but fruitful day.

9/4 - my birthday but i am pretty sure she was not aware of it but it's ok.. we are not really that close anyway.. i ate at saba and asked her to join me but she was too late that i finished my dinner before she arrived. she arrived when i was paying for my dinner at the cashier.. i took her around setiawangsa and we stopped at McDonald's for sundaes. Later I sent her home (the 2nd time to her compound)

5/4 - a Thursday but it was no class.. it was the exam week. i took her to do our assignments at Starbucks bangsar village.. she was late as she was taking her sweet time doing her hair.. but later she accompanied me for a late dinner at nasi daun pisang. i was on my verge for a very bad flu and headache.. my weekends was spoilt with sleeping the whole day feeling sick..

Oh It's April, welcome aboard, E.Y.

continuing from previous post,
3-22: father's at home and i need to buy food for him, nonetheless, I asked E.Y. for a quick dinner with me, she suggested the mutiara place near melawati that we went few weeks before, well, she said that she thought she's getting fat, but honestly, i don't think she is at all, so we went for just soup and i ordered otak-otak which she liked very much, while waiting for the take-away food for my dad we slurped the bone soup and ravaging through the otak-otak. This time, I didn't let her pay for her part, said that it was on me which she was delighted to accept =)

3-24 (saturday): I insisted that we tried to finich our group case assignment. We met. 3 of us at noon. Later we went to a restaurant near the cemetery in the heat of the sun for lunch at around 3pm. It was hot and we were sweating. Well, she like to watch hindustan film. I was really sure that she was having her period, she was not feeling well, headache and uneasy.

3-29: our last class. with group presentation, i thought the presentation was not really up to my usual standard, well, it was a busy week for me somehow at work, and I spent the sunday with my friend, long, good old friend from high school. nevertheless, afterwards, she ementioned that she wanted to eat otak-otak but alas, the mutiara restaurant was closed, so i took them to my area, near SPCA for really late dinner, we had a lot to eat that night: murtabak, burger sampah, tahu bakar and satay.

4-1 (sunday): called her for late lunch, was not an april fool, i was serious, she told me she wanted to have hair cut at a cut above but then she thought it over and hold it for another time. but nevertheless, we went out for dinner at AU2 kenny rogers'. this time without book, well she tried reading her book but couldn't because she prefer talking to me more. later that night when we departed she said, "dunno when i'll be seeing you again" as if wanting me to say, "well, we can get together everyday my love."

Rolling like Boss, yeah!

I believe, always that everything happened for a reason. It has been a while that I feel something is not right with my tire. It has always been the spare tire but during the trip last week to Pahang, I burst the tire. So I had the spare be replaced with my burst tire. Well, the tire had to be replaced and the rim had to be put of with some knockings. So the replaced burst tire with the knocked rim was put on standby as the new spare tire. But the spare tire that I had was not performing well. I believed there was a hole somewhere and I was right when I did the checking at Dwimaju tyre shop near Gombak just now.

First we discovered that the tire was in fact with hole which could not be simply patched because the hole is on the side. So I had to replace the tire. I agreed to change the tire with second hand Pirelli tire at 200 well the salesperson (a Bangla)said that it would cost 1000 for a new one. But then as they were replacing the tire they discovered that the rim is bent and cannot be simply knocked. Haiyya so they managed to persuade me to buy new rims at 3000 for 4 tires. They also persuaded me to buy a new Michellin tire for the two tires in front at a price of 320 each. Then later I had to add another 150 for the nuts which they claimed to be special and not easy to be taken out.

I have class starting at 6.30 pm but then they did not have the rims at the shops so they had to take the rims from their other stores. I was moody at them. Then the boss came taking one their salesperson to take the stocks of the rims at their another store. Well the boss is also a Bangla driving a Mercedes.

After they brought in the rims from the other shops, the boss need to fetch me around to withdraw some cash. The boss was (for a while) my driver chauffeuring me around in a Mercedes to withdraw money from an ATM machine at PETRONAS.

Then he told me that his business is actually owned by Hishamuddin the Cabinet Minister, of course, he would not want any name of his to appear in any business. Through this Bangla, he run the shops as well as other businesses. The Bangla who is the boss of the other Bangla chauffeuring me is Aminuddin. He's 33, just got married last two years with a beautiful lady who was the daughter of a Datuk which he was a workers for that Datuk for many years. Alas, I forgot to ask the name of the Datuk.

My mood improved, after being chauffeuring like a boss. I paid them 3650 in total after some bargaining.

I arrived class a bit late, around 7.15pm and few minutes later Nora Elena entered the class sitting next to me. Just my lucky day. Then we formed group along with Intan and Rohaya.

First day at mission E.Y. seems really positive. I hope I will continue to be awesome and be able to end E.Y. mission with success.

Unexpected love

It seems that I always end my year with watching movies. Last year I ended the year watching 3 Idiots, an Indian movie about life and ambitions. Well, this year, I just finished watching two movies back to back, both American entitled Just Go It (which was hilarious, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston were damn funny!!!) and Life As We Know It (Holly and Messer had to take care of orphaned Sophie).

Both movies ended with the discovery of true love out of the ordinary life. They were forced to foster their true unexpected love due to extenuating circumstances.

I am ending this year failing my KPI to find love. It may have been a blessing in disguise. It is in year 2012 that I would be focusing to find true love and propose someone into marriage.

Btw, I did not manage to see neither MA nor FST. Perhaps next year. Here I come, babes!!

A day and a night before 2012

Tomorrow would be the last day of 2011. I would like to take this moment to reflect on things I have done this year.

I went to Singapore for the very first time in my life. Twice. Once during the Chinese New Year which was in February and the second one in November. One with my own money for holiday and the other was fully paid by my boss Mr LOOKS, well of course through the company. Singapore is different from Malaysia. Somehow it is more structured, organized and modern from KL.

I got a nephew. A girl. Born just few days before my birthday. I guessed she was my birthday gift for the year. Her name means The Clever Princess. I went to Muar on the very day she was born. In fact, I was the first to see her among the other family members.

I was rotated within the department. In fact there were movements inside the division. Some are promoted and some moved laterally.

I sent a simple letter on 1.1.11 to NJZ which she was touched. Then a postcard while I was in Singapore. I sent a postcard too to my family but it failed to arrive. She tried to send me postcard, but it never arrived. I tried to send her another small note, but it also never arrived. Then she came back in May but I didn't get to talk to her. I was frustrated since she never wanted to return my calls. Hence she lost me while I was at Langkawi. Again, the Langkawi trip was under the courtesy of Mr LOOKS.

I dated long long lost friend AA, it was the once and only time I got to see her. After that she refused to answer nor return my calls. I lost my hope thus she lost me at the second set of attempts to reach her. I let her go to her wonderland.

I did however managed to meet and date MA, she is young and fun. She has high expectation for her future. She will continue her studies next year to a rather far far land. She has the potential to be my one and only wife. Time will tell.

I managed to take four classes last semester. It made me really really busy. I had no weekends. Then my family came for school holidays. My schedule was so tight that my only interactions is with my family, my co-workers and my classmates, not my other friends. I failed to show up to various events which fall on weekends. My MBA is almost over. I am left with one more class to take. Estimated completion date is sometime in March. Then the graduation ceremony will be held sometime in October. I am now eyeing for another Masters Degree in the UK. Chevening just opened up the application for sponsorship.

A day before my last final exam, I danced on the same stage as Atilia and her band after being interviewed by Linda Onn. I believed that I performed poorly on the final exam as my mind wandered still on the event of the other night.

It was during the last semester that I got rather close with FST. She sat next to me in almost all the classes that she had with me. I tested her and I believed that she had crush on me. I am going to call her tomorrow, which I had indicated earlier to her, to arrange for a meet up. It has been really a while since we meet. Tomorrow too, I may be seeing MA again at a wedding of our mutual friends. I had promised Eddy to go with him. I'll call him first then FST to arrange for the meetings.

Many of my friends got married. I lost count. And I am becoming lazier to give a damn about showing up for the weddings. I am yet to find someone to marry next year. MA is unavailable since she will be going to further her study. FST may be available. I will see how compatible we are when I meet her tomorrow or Sundays. I need to make a call, fast.
