Ghosot

Panik
Seronok
Excited
Gelisah
Ghosot
Cuak
Senak peghut

Those are my feelings nowadays....

Going to US most probably happen in my wildest dream so far. But it's gonna be reality in 3 weeks time,if my visa application interview scheduled this Thurs is passed. Ok, it's not as easy as it sounds. I've gone through so much hasslessss... Kalau bukan sbb nak p training, mmg jgn harap la nk semua bnda ni, baik aku melawat negara asia and europe yg tk payah mengada2 nk buat visa nih....

Apa yg aku buat/lalui?
  1. Fill in application form for AMEX and send to HR - apparently in this co, the HR ppl doesn't know how to fill in the form for the employee!
  2. Ambik gbq passport, visa
  3. Buat passport tunggu 5 jam kt imigresen
  4. Print MRV form for Visa deposit slip
  5. Went to Standard Chartered for payment
  6. Create online visa applicant profile
  7. Fill in the so-many-questions D160 form.
  8. Wait for 1 day to schedule the interview.
  9. Schedule the interview - suddenly realize the passport number in my online profile is wrong. Tried to contact the support team to change it! Dah la call asyik dpt ckp ngan machine, nasib baik bole chat, tu pun tunggu lama! fuhh..
  10. Interview this Thurs - harap pass la. kalau tak kena ulang buat bnda yg sama kena byq blk!! 
  11. Warm clothing application form pun belum hantaq. 
  12. Amex belum dapat
  13. Dah dapat Amex kena bgtau kt travel agent utk book flight. 

Preparation rohani dan jasmani nak p. Luggage pn tkdak ni.  Itinerary untuk final 1 week untuk berjimba di LA pn belum buat. So macam mana aku tk senak peghut? tak ghosot? hmmm... sbb semua ni lah.

Concerto

As I go through the concert schedule at the Gibson Amphitheatre, Universal CityWalk, my eyes went bigger when I see this band name - "The Smashing Pumpkins". It's 1 of the band that I adore since I was a kid! But the date...it's mid of Oct and I will still be in Dallas at that time. I wish they will postpone it to another 2 weeks! Pls pls plssssss.....

If it's not possible, well I guess I need to keep on looking for other bands that might be playing somewhere around end of Oct.

Passport renewal process / Proses memperbaharui paspot - Malaysia

While writing this, I'm still at the immigration office at Sri Rampai, Wangsamaju. Selama ni asyik dgr org ckp "renew passport cepat ja... Tk smp 2jam dh siap" and i'm already here waiting for my no to be called since 3 hours ago. Huhuuu... Ramai umat manusia smp nak ambik no giliran pn kena beratur smp 20mins.

I've tried to use the smart kiosk but it can't read my IC. -_-'

Anyway if you want to use the kiosk you need to bring along:
1. Old passport
2. Original IC
3. Photocopy of IC
4. 2 pieces of your recent passport photo. And the photo must comply to these rules:
- baju / tudung tak bole color biru
- tk bole pakai contact lens color
- tk bole pakai cap / kopiah / glasses dn sbgnya
- rambut tk bole menutupi mata dan muka

5. And of coz, money $$$

Kalau nak renew kat kaunter, u must have all of the mentioned items except for photocopy of IC.

Sebelum ambil no giliran make sure you fill in the "borang permohonan paspot", if not they will not give you the no.

1 thing I notice while I'm here, obviously jab imigresen need a bigger screen or the no giliran display: currently only 2 numbers can b displayed. It makes the idling counters to wait for the number that they pressed to appear and being called. From my observation, it takes almost 1 min for the next person to be at the counter. Tu tk termasuk lg kalau org tu mat ngot and lembab n catwalk nk jln p kat kaunter tu. And the numbers are not only for renewal and new passport. It also being used by the cashier counter and also kaunter serahan. Nasib baik la machine yg dok panggil no ni, kalau manusia jenuh tekeluaq anak tekak dok sebut no.


Oh well, after 3+ hours of waiting, ada lagi 40 org. Tu belum lg ke kauter bayaran dan serahan. Pukui brp aku bole masuk ofc pn tktau la... :'(

How to give advice by not hurting people's feeling

If you think you have something in your mind that you want to share with somebody but you don't know the right way to do it,then you might as well shutdaEfUp. Ok that was a short version of what i was thinking earlier. Here's my deeper thought :

I just believe that the approach of giving advice or share something that you think is beneficial to other people varies and it depends on the individuals that you are approaching. I mean some people are simply open minded but some just don't. So you might want to think further on what is the best way to share it with those kinda ppl. The easiest way is get to know the person and learn on his/her character. But there are some ppl that just couldn't understand ppl's character eventho they've known the person for a long period. It's plain >#&% i guess. Ooopps sorry, it slipped.. :P So if this doesn't work and you still want to and need to tell it, i guess the best way is to just summarize the info and let the person know the important part of it and then the most important thing for you to do is don't be judgmental! And avoid provoking people too if they simply do not take your advice or even have a different opinion than you do!
It comes back to the part where YOU (yourself) THINK that it is a good info..and do not think that you are good enough(ego) that you think people should follow your way / your advice. Do not assume that the other person thinks the same as you as individuals are allowed by law to have their own opinion.
Well, that are some that I can think of so far. You know you can always depend on google so here are some useful links:

Intonation conveys your feeling


Intonation = the rising and falling sounds of the voice when speaking.

Language conveys very specific information, such as how to get somewhere or what someone is doing. It can be also used beyond the exact meaning of the words to indicate how the speaker feels about what he is saying, or how he personally feels at that moment.

Above source--> http://www.5minuteenglish.com/jun12.htm


So make sure you use the correct intonation to avoid other people interpreting what you said wrongly and leads to misunderstanding. I don't know about other people but I think I usually understand the meaning of people's true thoughts to my questions just by listening to his/her intonation when answering. 1 of the strength I have in myself when I did the StrengthFinder test is "empathy" and it means I have a strong sense of understanding people's emotions around me. So yeah, use your intonation correctly if you don't want me to know how you truly feel when you talk to me, otherwise I will know your exact feeling. :)

Kerja gila di akhir bulan Jun

6th June yg lepas which was Friday, me and hubby went to Kampar for my cousin's solemnization, and we stayed there until Saturday. It was my 1st time being there. Jauh jgk, dah la tk penah p, keluar rumah lambat lak. Asal2 nk convoy skali ngan rombongan pengantin tp we were too behind. Haha. Sbbnya the night before I came back late from office , I think it was 12am+ buat keja ofc yg bangang. We arrived there almost on time, actually it was 10mins sebelum ":Azahir, aku nikahkan dikau...." and sempat la nk tgk muka cuak my cousin and his wife. Hehe, that reminds me of my own big day too...berdebaq rasa mcm nk terkeluaq jantung :D Anyhow, it was only 2 lafaz. Haha...I know couzie, you were nervous. Understood your feeling :) After mkn2 nasi kenduri, we went back to hotel, semua melepek tdoq dlm bilik hotel tk sedaq apa dah. 6is mcm tu, Hooh called me and asked me to accompany her to find food. ishk, minah ni mmg kaki makan. Actually I have went out to find some cakes kt bakery tepi hotel tu, terpaksa la keluar lg skali p jalan kaki ~20mins to KFC. Anyway it was quite fun as we got to see some local shops along the roadside. - rumah2 kedai. Mlm tu ada tahlil and katam quran, but I skipeed coz I didn't bring extra kurung :P Only hubby went there.

The next day, right after checkout, all of us went to Dewan Kampar for the wedding reception sebelah perempuan.And here comes the kerja gila part. It all starts from an idea of going somewhere after kenduri since it was Saturday and we had another day utk meronda. :) We decided to go to Cameron since in the google map it says it would take us about 1 hour and 27 mins from the kenduri spot. But I didn't know we were going to take that crazy-curvy roads for the whole journey. Jenuh dok menahan muntah2. Dah tu byk plk bus/lori yg lalu kt jalan tu, and it was horrible, it took us 2+ hours to arrive. We arrive there around 620pm. And searched for hotel, but non was available. sampai hotel kedai kopi cina pn kami cari, but semuanya FULL. tk sangka pulak bnda nk jd mcm tu. We spent around 2 hours cari kt semua hotel kt Brinchang dan Tanah Rata, and it was a failed mission. Bayangkan, dgn baju kenduri kain sempit, sorg lg dok berbaju melayu dgn kain sampin dok cari hotel. Tk ka mcm org gila kt tgh pekan Cameron. I saw some tourists with their big bags were trying to find place to stay too. Hmm...it was unlucky for us, and finally we decided to go back to KL. Hubby was tired due to driving earlier, so I became the driver. Half way the journey, hubby plk nk muntah and pening teruk sgt, and he fell asleep. Tinggailah aku terkapai2 dok drive tgh2 mlm buta kt jln lengkok2 yg gelap gelita tu. Perghh...mmg pengalaman...and mmg dah serik sangat nk p Cameron tk book hotel dlu. So hgpa yg terbaca post aku ni, toksah la dok buat kerja gila no... At least kalau dh last min pn, call lah dlu hotel mana2 and make sure you've booked somewhere sebelum tekan minyak keta, panjat bukit and smp kt sana lalu terpoyo bila hotel semua dh penuh. Mmg tekanan perasaan weiihhhh......percayalah.  :D
