Interview...
I'm sure all of us have been to an interview before..right? For whatever reason whether it's for a job, a scholarship or even being interviewed by our future inlaws (yikes!!)
My last interview was with my current company 8 years ago...and of course when I was younger and just graduated as a Diploma holder in Executive Secretaryship I look forward to whenever there is a job interview, you know to get better pay etc..
One of my favourites is with this company in Dayabumi, KL... I was working with BP Oil at that time, and there was this guy who interviewed me and asked me to come back again for a second session with his boss... There they were about 4 of them in the room and I was supposed to get nervous but no... I was so confident and just answered to whatever questions they had for me.. I was like ..."bring it on, baby"..hahaha... Of course I passed the interview with flying colours but the pay they offered wasn't that attractive, so I declined.
And one more... I went for a job interview in a company which is a dealer for a luxury car here in Malaysia... I was supposed to work with the man who interviewed me..Again, the offer wasn't good enough for me to leave the company I was working with...I declined. To my surprise he came to my house and said he is willing to fork out some cash to meet my requirement (the pay, of course)...I was like "hello" .. I am not working with this guy...!! No ..no.. Gila ke ape aku nak kerja dengan dia ni..Kalau aku kerja dengan dia entah ape la akan jadi pada akak dek non, oiii...Sorry naik lori la ... Ingat lagi housemate aku kata "Zara! ada org tua nak jumpa kau.." hahaha..
Masa interview nak masuk ITM lagi best, interviewer tu kata "Ni nak masuk ITM mesti nak cari boifren".. Aku jawab balik "Kalau nak cari boyfriend kat sini pun boleh"...terus dapat masuk ITM. Amik kau...! hehehehehe
So moral of the story, kalau dah rezeki kita...memang kita punya... Just be yourself, walk in with self confidence, give it your best..and doa banyak2 pada Allah SWT...sebab rezeki sume datang dari Dia...bukan dari sesape pun...
Wasalam and goodnight!
It's 14th July and the clock keeps on tickin'...
Nope never give on your child...they are your 'assets'.. betul tak?
Today is Sunday 14 July 2013...here I am again infront of the computer ..babbling on whatever comes into my mind...
My only daughter is in boarding school..if she is around, then I'll be in a mall somewhere looking for whatever she needs...not my needs...her needs..! We are closed...she tells me about boys, school, her ambition etc etc...and like a best friend let secrets be secrets.
And because of the same interests we share, we clicked...Once I took her to a movie...Ombak Rindu..drove all the way ..just the two of us and left the little ones with my husband...We cried and exchange tissues during the movie...hehehe...then kept on raving about that movie to everyone...
Then recently went crazy with the latest 13 episodes of Sebenarnya Saya Isteri Dia (SSID) on TV3...
We, plus another 11 million viewers watched that final episode on Friday, 5th July. What I can say about SSID is:
1. Izzue Islam nailed the character as Firash Arshad.. I saw his work in Senyuman di Kuala Lumpur, Bunga Merah Punya...but in SSID he is brilliant..the character suits him like a glove! LOL .. (Bak kata DikDa...dulu tak nak kawin..like nobody will even care..tengah meletop nak kawin pulak!!!) Bernanah mata anak aku nengok gambor Izzue and wife!!! Alalala..cian..tak pe..melambak lagi mcm dia kat luor tu...
2. Tiz Zaqyah...I 'fell in love' with Tiz as Nur in Nur Kasih...So lovely...she looks beautiful wearing 'tudung' ..oh, well..it's her job as an actress..everyone loves her characters in SSID and Nur Kasih... hey..I even went to see Nur Kasih the movie, duhhh!! Again, with my 'bff'...
3. The storyline...not bad...although we hope for a better final episode...that's the risk of making a movie from a novel...everyone expects it to be 100% from what they read from the novel itself...
....
Then come this viral video from youtube about a school girl confessing her love to a boy..just after 1 week of being a couple!!!
My daughter was like "what was she thinking??"...I mean where I come from...girls are not supposed to break the ice...no..no... I told her what my mom told me..."Never start ..let him start first"...I mean, the confession, the obsession..the whatever that may come from what you call'love"..pfft! Nanti tak pasal2 kalau break off ke, kena balik kat kita "awak yg beria-ria ..saya tak kisah sangat pon"...panggg!!! what a slap in the face kan...
.....
What I shared with my children is what I've learned, heard and experienced in life. They may not experience it or maybe they will do things differently... but it is my duty to guide, to teach and even to listen...as life might not be fair...but if you take things positively, everything will be perfect! (wink)
...
till then...have a great Sunday ...

My New Book
I watch Oprah on TV last month, and she was talking to comedian Steve Harvey ...I didn't know that this guy actually writes books! I mean, I know him only as a funny guy...What I didn't know that he has a radio program which attracts 7 million listeners every morning in Chicago ..! People call in for advice..from a guy's point of view....You know, a person who can give advice and be funny at the same time is the best person to talk to! He knows when to be funny and when to actually advice you especially on relationships.
As usual, I ordered the book online from Kunikoniya (I hope I got the spelling right!)...The price is ...let's just say you can buy a week's grocery with that amount (considering my household headcounts!)...
I 've only read half way through, though...and yet, I have learnt quite a lot about - not only what actually lingers in a man's mind - but also their expectations and how they show their love (believe me girl, it's nothing like how we show our love)....
I recommend to those women who is always searching for answers esp when it comes to the man you love...or just buy it for easy reading...Steve really knows how to make you laugh..hehe...
I am so ready to.......

Salam...
So many things had happened since I last logged in.
In August my 3 year old son, Kimi, was admitted to Hospital Penawar on August 12. Operation tonsil. Sian dia. Imagine a 3 year old had to endure the pain before, during and after operation. First he had to fast about 8 hours. Ya Allah, tak tahan aku dengar dia menjerit mintak susu, tapi tak boleh bagi!!! Then, kena bius sebelum operation...I saw his eyes before he 'knocked out'...sedih giler tengok anak aku kena lalui semua tu. Then after the operation..bayangkan lah kesakitan dia... ( I hope I'll never have to go thru that experience again... )...
At work, I am bossless again (macam dah biasa pulak ngan keadaan). Tapi yg aku bengang tu, ada yg tanya...u buat apa ek, boss tak de? Aku jawab "buat bodoh je lah". As if, the absence of my boss is my fault. Lagipun, although he's in our Corporate Office in KL, he still gives me work. Yelah, zaman sains dan teknologi, multi media apa ke ntah...Masa ni lah nak guna sepenuhnya, ye tak????
I am pregnant (again) with my 5th! Yup! Believe it....At my age, risau jugak mula-mula nya..tapi I am blessed with friends and family who are very supportive. My hubby said "mesti ada hikmahnya Allah nak bagi"...My friends sume happy for me...And my doctors (my gynae and my cardio specialist)...are being so supportive and feed nothing to my brain other than positive words. Phewwwww! I really need that...Tau la aku ni, suka pikir bukan2...(born with it la ni)...ish...
Oh, yes...dah 6 bulan dah pun...It's gonna be another boy for us...hehe..4 boys and 1 girl je. But right now, my concern is the health of my baby...Korang doa2 kan aku, ek...
Satu lagi, nak pilih nama. My husband nak gak nama start ngan "Ha"..Dah ada Haziq, Hafizy and Haqimi. Pening kepala aku mencari dlm buku and in the net...Korang ada suggestion maksud nama yg baik-baik tak?
OK. GTG. I will try update my blog every now and then ek...
Till then...tata...

Bila Politeknik Johor Bahru kena kuarantin
Lagi best, my husband aka..the warden sent 6 students the night before to Hospital Sultan Ismail. He came back around 2 am and told me the hospital had screened the students and they were released. He dare not enter the Innova this morning knowing the virus could still be in the the car! Hehehe...(kelakar pulak)...
The next morning 2 buses of students were sent to the hospital! All have the symptoms of H1N1...

Old pics...hehe
Sebenarnya ada aku post gambar aku di ‘zaman jahiliah’ dulu..Aku bila tengok je gambar tu, sure tergelak besor…It was in the 80s. I was in my teens! Sabor jelah…dengan lengan baju kurung berlapis-lapis tu…Huyooo…zaman tu memang trend! Haha…Rambut ku ala-ala Zaiton Sameon lak aku tengok..wakakakaka! Tapi yg paling tak tahan – my eyeliner! Tapi I have taken out the pic from this post ...because ...rasa bersalah...sebab nampak aurat (guilty as charged!). So sesape yg sempat tengok...kira rezeki lah!!!
Zaman tu, me without the eyeliner (setebal mungkin) is like ice-cream cone without the ice-cream!!!LOL!
I remembered using double-layered eyeliner –first the pencil type from Revlon, then the liquid type also from Revlon…Dah rupe orang pakai spek je pulak…haha… Masa tu konon cun giler laa….Those days, I will never ever go out without my eye-liner (and my clothes, of course....LOL!)…
The picture was taken at my friend’s birthday party (in Keramat, Kuala Lumpur). I was 18 or 19 years old. Yang tak larat lagi tu, ada ka husband aku gi tampal gambar ni kat opis dia! My husband actually stick this particular photo on the wall by his office table…Daaahhh..sume orang tanya betul ke itu gambar aku? Of course, don’t compare me now with this pic…!
Then, these two photos of my husband when he was in the USA 1993 – 1997. He was around 26 years old. Perasan pulak dia bila tengok gambar ni “hensem jugak I ek..” E’eleh…sabo jelah…Aku kata terimalah hakikat nya sekarang dah tak macam tu…haha…(kalau ada yg terpikat pun ...hmm...ini gambor lama daaaaa....)!
Winter in Columbus, OHIO, USA

Those were the days…I am posting this pics for old time sake…Dengan kekalutan hidup kat ofis dan di luar nun..sesekali teringat kisah zaman dulu, hehe..best gak..I'll find more pics..so ..tungguuuu...

Hai...
Tapi macam2 berlaku...
Dan yg menghairankan aku boleh terima dengan redha...syukur Alhamdulillah...selama ni aku dipertemukan dengan sahabat-sahabat yg berpegang kuat dengan ajaran Islam dan di kalangan orang-orang yang berfikiran positif. Sedikit sebanyak, kena gak tempiasnya....syukur sekali lagi...
Ingat:
Segala nya adalah ketentuan Allah SWT. Dia yg Maha Mengetahui...Rezeki atau bukan hak kita - semua adalah di atas kehendakNya.
I will keep you guys posted....

Time to watch movies...on TV!
I spent the whole weekend at home, recuperating….craving for something, then forced myself to cook and ended up eating just a little.
Pelik, tak de selera tapi teringin nak makan itu ini…lepas masak (yes, I even baked a butter cake with some dates) makan sikit je…
A slice of my butter cake with dates....
I just lazed around the house and got some rest/sleep and even had the chance to watch movies on HBO! Yes, at last…this golden moment of watch-all-the-movies you can!
First it was The Bird – Land’s End on Star Movie. Not bad ..I like the scenery…an island, a house by the beach…one happy American family…and yes, here comes the thriller….killer birds..which attacked and killed humans! Yikes!…Oh, well ..not that scary but it was ..like I said..not bad for family viewing…
Then, on HBO I got to watch Philadelphia (again). I remember watching this movie on VHS…years ago… Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington are just two brilliant actors which made this movie worth every seconds of my full concentration (like…for the 6 or 7th times)! This movie is already 16 years old and I recommend to those who love drama (and hate action/kungfu movies)… Tom Hanks won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Actor (in this movie he played Andrew Beckett, a gay lawyer who was fired because he had AIDS). Again 1994 Academy Awards, he won the Best Actor for his character in Forrest Gump. I just love this guy…he’s a true talent…what can I say….
On Sunday, I watched The Beach…..the one which has Leo DiCaprio in it. I didn’t have the chance to watch it until that day! Good movie…the rave about this movie is actually worth the trip to the cinema ((I mean if you’re living in year 2000!)…I am so ‘ketinggalan zaman’…
Then I realized, I was a frequent movie-watcher (on VHS/VCD)…..as the years go by and as my responsibilities demand ¾ of my life….there goes my favorite hobby which I think help me get connected with the world outside my home for many years….(sigh!)
