What Kind of Names Do You Like?

You Like Names That Are Forgotten and Quirky

You prefer a name that’s offbeat, but not made up. You like old names that are interesting sounding… You’re the type to name someone after a historical figure or fictional character. You like a name that has a story behind it… hopefully spanning many generations. Some female names you might like: Annabel, Clementine, Evangeline, Genevieve, Isadora, Lorelei, and Ophelia Some male names you might like: Cornelius, Dexter, Ferdinand, Gilbert, Jude, Rafael, and Ulysses

My RULES of ‘Hang Out’

If I HANG OUT with you, SMS with you, CALL you, CHAT with you…

My Comment: It doesn’t mean I LOVE YOU! It doesn’t mean I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU! It is just I like to hang out with you as a FRIEND or GENG saja.

If I TANYA whether you have a girlfriend or not.

My Comment: It means I don’t QUITE favourable hanging out with someone who has someone in mind because I don’t want to CREATE PROBLEM or TO BE IN YOUR MANGKUK OF MANY PROBLEMS. Biasalah mulut orang bukan ada zip, otak tiada controller… Asal nampak saja turus gini, “Eh, your boyfriend keluar with a girl wor… I know the girl…” And then, yang tiada-tiada tu benda, turus diada-adakan… i.e “Ko tau, sia nampak diorang pigang-pigang tangan lagi…” or “You know the story of that girl? She’s so geteq and got lots of bad records tu…” Opppsss… Lupa bagitau… I’m so lucky sebab I’m living in Sabah sebab kita ada Mahkamah Adat… Ever read the RULES inside the book kah? Mungkin I’m a bit way back behind… Antara orang yang tak sophisticated or updated laini. Hahahahah~ Tapi, I do practise the local ‘RULES & REGULATIONS’. Sogit moti… 1 ekor kambing for menjatuhkan maruah orang… Aiyah, tidak mahal bah tu kambeng emmmbek tapi… Mahal tu nama yang masuk dalam buku rekod diorang. Kalau kali ke-3 masuk dalam mahkamah, bulih jadi famous turus sebab manatau masuk dalam newspaper. Syok tu kan kan kan? XD

If I KELUAR with you for dinner, lunch… or breakfast…

My Comment: It doesn’t mean I want you to be by my side or I have a crush on you or mau create problem. Salah kaitu makan sama-sama kadang-kadang? I don’t go for diet lah dan my stomach inda bulih tahan with perut kusung inda berisi…

If I KELUAR with my Ex-Boyfriend…

My Comment: It doesn’t mean I still love him or ada hati sama sia or mau rujuk balik. I’m the type yang asal sudah buang ludah, inda akan sia kutip balik. I won’t kutip sampah yang sudah sia buang dalam trash bin… I would rather say ‘LET’S BE KAWAN/GENG/SAHABAT/BUKAN MUSUH…” Apa syoknya kalau bermusuhan? Life must go on!!!!

If I CAKAP I LIKE YOU…

My Comment: I like to be with you as FRIEND! Kawan biasa SAHAJA. It has nothing to do with LOVE or yang CINTAN-CINTAN… It can be I like your style… We have the same hobby… etc.

If I CAKAP, “Jagalah your GF… Jangan kasi luka hati dia…”

My Comment: I really really really mean it because I know how hurts it would be to have someone yang ko sayang butul-butul kasi luka hati ko. Ramai sudah sia cakap begini ni… Kepada sesiapa yang sudah pernah dingar sia cakap begini (the exact phrase), you will surely ingat tu. I hope ko ingat lah… Hahahahaha!

If I REJECT your luahan hati…

My Comment: I don’t want to hurt you and sia inda mo ko simpan harapan meninggi mengalahkan gunung kinabalu… Bukan sia jual mahal tapi adalah tu yang sia belum ready. Sia inda akan halang if you still want to simpan harapan or masih simpan perasaan – I appreciate all the feelings and your guts. Jarang ada orang yang ada keberanian untuk meluahkan perasaan dia gia. I’m the type yang DIRECT TO THE POINT and I know mimang sakit tu sikit-sikit juga kalau kena reject. Siou noh kopio kio… I just hope we can still be friends…

If sia SUKA to PLAY AROUND with you or POKE or JAB or CUCUK PINGGANG ko…

My Comment: Hahahahah! Tinguk apa macam sia main… I don’t joke with people yang very close minded, narrow minded, sempit minded, etc. I don’t simply cucuk pinggang orang lain terutama yang lain jantina with my FINGER! I will use anything macam kunci, pen, pensel, etc. It doesn’t mean yang I have a crush on you or mau pikat ko. Hahahahah! Itu style sia mo main…

If I INVITE you pigi dinner macam rumah sia untuk makan-makan or dinner or kawan sia pigi wedding kawan…

My Comment: It doesn’t mean sia mau kasitau semua urang yang YOU’RE THE ONE… or YOU ARE MY BF… Nope… That’s not my style… The main point is – MAKAN. Semua orang hidup untuk makan, apa lagi kalau makan free kan? Sebabnya, sia pun suka mau pigi rumah urang lain untuk makan-makan… And… I will always bring along someone untuk attend itu dinner… Hahahah! Kalau sudah ada kata putus, dapan-dapan itu family sia, sia akan cakap tarang-tarang mah… DIRECT TO THE POINT mah… Apa mau tapuk-tapuk sebab tempat dioranglah sedih dan gembira punya berita sia kasitau…

One thing for sure…

I know my own limits and sia bukan macam orang lain yang if dia minat with someone, dia kasi hint-hint… Silap-silap kasi lap lagi mumuh sana mulut just to show how much dia care about that person even though dia tau itu urang sudah ada someone else. I don’t pretend and I don’t hide my feelings… If sia suka, sia cakap… dan bukan main hint-hint… What’s the point of hinting? Syok butul kaitu mo buat urang guess? Huahuahua! Terus teringat sia pa macam tu auditor mo cari RM1 yang hilang dalam akaun… Sampai sisip-sisip tu resit yang sudah buruk dicari bah…  I’ve  been in such situation di mana sampai terpaksa angkut-angkut itu boxes dari stor! Gosh! Macam office girl wor! Hahahahah! Anyway, I know some of you out there yang tau pa macam style sia buat kerja and my style of hanging out with friends… Even my EX (fuyoohhh… Sepa tu kunun?) tau dan faham how sia buat kerja and react and responds to other people… You may say that I’m a boring person sebab banyak style sia yang macam satu buku kena kasi tulis pun, macam inda habis-habis. Hahhahaah! Ada banyak lagi bulih sia tulis cuma apa gunanya juga sia kasi list down everything and then explain lagi satu-satu kalau mulut urang cannot be stopped kan kan kan? Buang ink dan tenaga saja mo taip kan kan kan?

SUMANDAK BILANG: I should hang out my shingle soon if I wanna be a businesswoman…. Please bear in mind on this word – IF.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I was having dinner at 1 Borneo with my girls just now (bukan anak sia tapi kajen sia) after we did our shopping. Biasalah bah tu kalau sudah jadi perempuan namanya. Kikikiki~ Sia terlupa sudah tu Liverpool vs. Manchester United sampailah when I overheard the conversations of these waiters pasal MU & Liverpool while they were taking our orders. Siap si kawan dalam tu dapur bilang bilang, “Aiyah, pa macam ko punya MU ooo… Ayam mati wor… 2-1!” Hahahahahah! I still remember how these M.U. Freaks cakap…

MU Freak #1 – Ko tinguklah Liverpool jadi ayam mati di Old Trafford! *Then he proudly sang that so-called M.U.’s song… Padih telinga sia mendengar. Macam sia mo jahit tu mulut dia…*

MU Freak #2 – *via YM* Ko suka Liverpool yang ayam mati? Kalah tu nanti di Old Trafford! M.U. tidak pernah kalah di Old Trafford! (Itu bukan ayam mati ahh… THEY ARE HUMANS!!!!)

MU Freak #3 – He sang that M.U. song again… *sia lupa sudah tu lirik lagu dia…*

MU Freak #4 – *via YM* Kita betting lah… Kalau Liverpool kalah, ko hutang sia DINNER bergantung kepada berapa gol MU kasi gol minus yang Liverpool kasi gol. (So, sepa yang belanja sepa ni sekarang?)

MU Freak #5 – Kenapa ko bodoh butul pilih Liverpool? Tiada lucks butul tu! Tau buat kes saja… (Banyak lucks bah…)

MU Freak #6 – Kalau Liverpool kalah, ko kena pakai rambut afro and upload di blog ko and FB ko. (So, sia terlepas ini kali… Lega hatiku…)

MU Freak #7 – Liverpool di bawah MU bah! Tiada chance!!! (Itu aku inda paduli… Janji Liverpool nailed down MU!)

MU Freak #8 – Sia berkabung ni kalau MU kalah… (Jangan lupa pakai baju hitam kio… Rambut pun mesti kasi dye itam kalau ko butul2 ada pigi dye warna lain2)

Anyway… I also have some people who would like to see MU kalah di tempat sendiri…

Arsenal Freak – *via sms* Sia pun mau tinguk MU kalah bah. Ginilah… Kita betting… Ko pilih MU, sia pilih Liverpool. (There’s no way I’m going to sukung MU… So, the deal jadi begini – If MU manang, sia berkabung… If Liverpool manang, sia belanja ko makan, mo celebrate)

Liverpool Freak #1 – Bising butul penyokong MU kalau manang… Kalau kalah, lagilah bising. Alasan diorang mesti begini – We’re still ON TOP… (Yalah tu…)

Liverpool Freak #2 – Janji MU kalah di tampat sendiri… (Hahahah!)

After the match…

Liverpool Freaks – Kotoh! Kotoh! Baru tau… Muahahahhaah! (Ko barulah ganas!)

MU Freak #1 – (Sia buka saja pintu rumah…) Oh man~ How come Liverpool manang! SH**T MAN! Ahhh! Tidak apa! Yang penting, MU masih di atas! (and then he started to count how many games left lagi… Cis)

MU Freak #2 – Kitai ko! Ketawa lah ko di sana! (Of course, sia ketawa kegembiraan)

MU Freak #3 – ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (Relax, bro… Masih ada lagi team lain)

MU Freak #4 – Habislah satu office ni bad mood sebab ramai yang MU tu! (Itu hal ko… Kenapa ko kerja di office yang ramai penyukung MU?)

MU Freak #5 – Ko jangan ketawa di sana!!! (Uinah… Moody turus lah ko ni ahh… Scary!)

Arsenal Freak – Ingat tu belanja ahh… (ya ya! I’m so happy that I don’t know what else to say…)

Anyway… At least I didn’t get any bets from other yang begini: “Kalau Liverpool manang, sia inda kacau ko lagi. Tapi kalau MU manang, ko mesti dating sama sia…” Hahahahahah! Last but not least… My message to all…

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE

A Myopic March

Piano Legs

I don’t know but I figure out that my March has been myopic lately… I’m refering to ‘unadventurous’ life, in other words, monotonous, soporific, and featureless… I’m getting bored of being a student lately and doing some jobs lately… I have to learn to be a multitasker and ensure that my organizer is FULL with things that need to be done. I’ve done the logos for a local film production and also for a new local artiste. The only thing is there’s no news or updates from the local artiste (I’m in the midst of confusion) but the logo is saved *safely* inside my Mac HD. So, I proceed with my next tasks and assignments which are on queue right now.

Bicycle Rider on Long and Winding Road, Mount Tamalpais, California, USA

My life has been frenetic lately that I almost feel like I’m losing my own usual beats. How I wish to see my own beatific smile again… The smile of satisfaction… The feeling of satisfaction after having a munch of KFC drumstick. Opppsss! I don’t eat manuk anymore pula for nearly 6 months sudah – an Ovo-Vegetarianism, for sure, and this is my 2nd time being a Vegan. Last time sia Lacto-Vegetarianism! Anyway, I’m not on diet but it’s a matter of fact that I’m allergic of meat products. Itu allergist (doctor pasal allergic) yang dia sendiri bilang she’s a skin doctor also kasi advice yang I should slowly refrain myself from consuming red and white meat due to the reason yang sia punya badan capat panas and cepat ada rashes whenever sia makan meat! So, I didn’t eat and semua-semua yang berdarah… It was a HELL! I gotta learn not to touch or even munch those tempting aroma – KFC, McD, BK, Lemon Chicken, Curry Sapi, Ayam Masak Kicap, etc. Pek! I’m now speaking, writing, talking, telling, informing, etc. about me being a Ovo-Vegetarianism since some of you yang bilang sia kurus sebab I’m on diet. Terima kasih atas pujian yang I have a curvaceous body but the fact is that I realized yang punggung sia saja yang lebar tapi I’m making myself like a rudai (chameleon). How I wish I can lief munch down all those meats. Nga kuroyon poh di, for the sake of my own health kaka. Macam urang tua pula sia rasa kalau bilang ini itu inda bulih makan. Mimang sungguh kasian kalau korang bawa sia pigi makan sebab tempat yang sia bulih makan pun di tempat yang ada sada’ om tontolu noh… Manuk mimang totally out! Anyway, I’m getting used with this thing and was pity sama Uncle Julius & Auntie Josephine last time when they had to follow masuk kadai vegetarian in Bukit Bintang last time sampai Uncle bilang, “Macam lemas badan sia tidak dapat makan daging.” Kasian juga kan sebab I should consider juga urang lain kan (sia dapat faham juga apa macam rasa lemas tu bila tiada daging), so we went to eat at a nearby Thai’s foodstall. Nasiblah ada ikan dia~ Padulilah padas… Macam inda biasa makan padas when I was in UiTM Samarahan dulu… Punyalah gila nasi lemak dia padas gila sampai geng siorang yang inda biasa padas mula-mula turus inda jadi pigi kelas sebab nasi lemak terlampau padas! Gosh! Nasib baik juga itu toilet inda ada full sebab mostly yang sibuk dan sesak kan from 5:30am – 7:30am itu tandas. Siap babaris lagi siorang mo tunggu giliran masuk mau mandi! Nah! Melalut sudah sia pigi ingat cerita dulu-dulu….

Chimpanzee Flexing its Muscles

OK… Balik kepada cerita sia pasal bulan March… Ini bulan saja ramai sia jumpa kawan-kawan yang selama ini sia sengaja mo bertapuk dari Internet and, of course, some kawan lama also. Baru tadi I had a dinner at Fish & Co. with my former coursemate since college lagi. Banyak cerita dia sampai mo tutup tu Fish & Co. We were rekindling the old days and then cerita-cerita kawan-kawan sekarang and how do they look like… Kalau korang tanya perempuan atau lelaki sia jumpa? It’s a guy! A good guy who understands me very well… Itu belum lagi yang geng satu kepala sia yang perempuan… I was thinking of hanging out with her tapi dia bilang she’s very busy with the audit thingy. Ini laini gaji kalau semua kawan-kawan yang kerja di Audit firm. Always have on and off peaks sampai ada yang cakap I have so much times to relax lagi tu… Girls, I need to hangout with you all… How come only guys saja yang sia keluar wor… I can’t even go shopping like the last time we did when we were in Kuching. Dari pagi keluar sampai malam baru balik naik taxi! Shopping from Sarawak Plaza sampai Main Bazaar lagi tu. Lepas tu at the end of the every semester, itu luggage semua overloaded! Emmm… Inda payah korang mention sepa yang selalu overloaded sebab dalam tu 1 beg kicil panuh buku saja! Nah! Butul-butul melalut sudah sia ni pigi cerita lama!

Denim Girl

Anyway, I think I need to snatch my own 40 winks lah ni as I still need to wake up as early as 5:30am and get my breakfast at McD before meeting some people and, of course, I wish I have the chance to snap some photos early in the morning. Just to have some morning view on the busy life in KK early in the morning. I’m expecting some traffic jams ini but I’m hoping yang banyak parking di Segama ni. Mau ambil parcels di Pos Laju lagi ni. Lepas itu, balik rumah and buat revision and baca journals lagi… Sebelah malamnya sia ada mau pigi kelas… After that, kalau sempat… Mau jumpa kawan di KDCA… If you’re asking me whether or not I’m going to Ranau for Juara Lagu Dusun (JLD) tomorrow, my answer would be NO as I have to attend church in the morning and then have a meeting with some youths who are going for the Bible Camp (as I’ve just got the programme)… Later on, sia kena jumpa orang lain (kalau dia jadi) and then… balik rumah lagi buat kerja design and kasi siap assignment sia. Sunday morning pula I’m going out with a friend to play with our gadgets!

PUNYALAH PANJANG SIA MENAIP BENDA-BENDA YANG DERISORY! *inda pa… sia kasi taruh gambar-gambar supaya korang inda keboringan – Sia tau ada yang berdarah idung sudah tu…*

Lip Imprint on Window

SUMANDAK BILANG: Girls… Nanti we organize another meeting kio… Of course, mau tunggu si Mellon inda busy juga sebab she’s the only one yang butul-butul busy outstation… Kita kasi jalan our outing ini kali, tu si Nanie sana Kunak tu kita import bawa turun KK… Hahahahah~

Life Is Not Measured

Photo of The Day: Blue Teddy Bear

This time around… I’m featuring my Blue Teddy Bear… The most recherché teddy bear I ever had in my life. Actually, mum bought this for me. Cute kan? She knows that I’m into offbeat things. Wacko? You can call me that… Huahuahua! FYI, took this pic just a few hours ago. Ubat untuk my heebie-jebbies adalah hanging out with my ND300. Love, baby… Love… Muahahaha! Anyway, for those who are going to have a ball during Valentine’s Day… Well… My advice is – Jangan bagi bunga (itu maksudnya your love will falter very soon), bagilah Blue Teddy Bear or something yang can last forever… Eish! Mengajar sudah sia ni ajaran sasat. Just don’t follow my halfwittedness or you might end up in a ‘cataclysm’. Check out for more of these photos here. If you’re lazy enough, click on my flickr on the right side… Tuuuuu nah tu… Kikikiki!
