My Office on the Move

copying stuff..

Our project team is moving into another building that is about 5-mins-walk+1-lrt-station+10-mins-walk away from our current place. This will be my second office move, first one when i was assigned to this project and i moved from KLCC to Empire Tower. That was a breeze because i baru je kerja for about 2 months at that time. Not so much clutter and baggage (and with that comes responsibility) to carry. Tp skrang is a different story. After working in the project for over a year, moving from Empire Tower to Rohas Perkasa takes some planning.



My packing planning and implementation started only this Monday (25 August 2008). Here are some what-you-should-do-before-you-move things I have picked up:

1. Pack your stuff into boxes - some people dump, i organize my stuff into four boxes (project documents in files, project documents loose, drawings, personal & active items)
   - i do this so that when i unpack, i dont have to geladah through all the four boxes to find stuff, especially the active files. Take note that even though i'm moving, work goes on as usual. Hey, this is business!!


2. Take down ur pictures!!! - and wuteva else u stick on ur walls, CPU, monitor frame and etc. (i love sticking stuff onto surfaces, it's like a huge collage and very expressive of oneself)


3. Copy the stuff in ur PC - the obvious is the stuff in my documents. Dont forget about the less obvious ones tho, like on your desktop or in your server (coz u thought nanti-nantilah baru copy, last2 luper). And dont forget to delete them from ur PC especially highly confidential stuff and very scandalous personal pictures for example. Hehe~


4. The lil things that make you, you - your mug in the pantry, ur shoes (always have at least 3 pairs at the office, plus a fair of comfy slippers), jacket/sweater/selimut/bantal/comforter and other things la..


5. Important Note: DONT FORGET ABOUT THE CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS THAT YOU ARE DOING. ye la. mana la tau, cbok2 buat keje tersave la plak kat PC kat office lama. haha~ pastu pindah office. Pastu next week kalut2 carik x jumpe. haha :) mana nak jumpe save kat tempat lain, carik kat tempat lain.. hoho


6. Anything Else??

Today is my final day here. Tomorrow the movers will angkat all the stuff. I do hope that i dont forget anything..

Hantaran for Nikah on 11 July 2008

All the hantaran from the bride (me) to the groom (my husband)

Some of my friends asked me to upload the pics of my hantaran (from me to my husband), maybe derang nak idea for their own wedding kot. Well, i've uploaded the pics below (sweet things arent they?). Many thanks to Kak Cida of djariartz who has helped come up with the concepts, ideas and of course the real things la.

Djariartz can be contacted at:

• Website : http://www.djariartz.com/
• E-mail : djariartz@yahoo.com
• Hp (Kak Cida) : 016 - 905 8532

Sireh Junjung

I picked this one cause its modern looking and sweet.

Simply put on the dulang

Tafsir & Sejadah
I bought the tafsir and sejadah especially.
The white tray with carvings is rented from djariartz. The fresh flowers decorations at the side and also the dulang covers are from djariartz.

Perfume Set

The perfume is Polo Blue.
The cage (i always wanted my hantaran to be in cages) and everything else is by djariartz.

Ring

The ring is platinum (cause muslim men cant wear gold) and engraved.

Everything else is by djariartz.

Shirt & Tie

Purple shirt and matching tie. The brand is obvious. We bought this at Metrojaya Times Square. As above, everything else is by djariartz.

Cake

Cake was also ordered by Kak Cida of djariartz. My mom and sister went to have a look at the shop and loved it. Kak Cida ordered it for us and beautifully decorated it.
Chocolates
I chose Patchi mainly because the chocolates are individually wrapped. Kak Cida advised me if i wanted to openly display the chocolates, get individually wrapped ones. If not, maybe you can put the chocs in a transparent box or something. Everything else is by djariartz.

Jelly in various fruits shapes

I am not sure if this is exclusive to djariartz, but the idea is sure refreshing. Basically those are jelly in fruit shapes (pretty much translates to the fact that the banana taste the same as the watermelon & you cant drink the coconut!!) Everything is by djariartz.

Bunga Rampai

Bunga rampai is inside the grand boxes. Bungai rampai is mainly shredded pandan leaves and you mix it with lotsa other flowers (aku pun x sure bunga ape), but it sure smells lovely. It's associated with malay weddings, cukur jambul, etc., etc. In other words, I've run out of ideas for hantaran plus ibu insist we have bunga rampai. No purpose, just ikut adat kot.

Anyway, Kak Cida bought the bekas for us and decorate it in the white tray matching with the rest of the hantaran.

Accessories

Hankerchief, belt, wallet and cufflinks. None of them has been worn by Iz (my husband la). Haha~



Arrangement and deco by djariartz




It was nice to have djariartz coming up with the idea and finally the hantaran itself. Kedai derang pon dekat je to my house, and they are flexible so that i can come at night to discuss stuff (pasal aku kerja disiang hari). I still am very impressed with the results, cause they are exactly how i wanted it.

Next time citer pasal pelamin plak.

Playing for Pizza - John Grisham

I've been reading John Grisham's novel since i was in high school, when i was in form 2 i think. He introduced me into US legal world. But Playing for Pizza has nothing to do with the legal world.

This can be considered as a short novel, anyone can easily finish it in a day (but it took me over a month, i think). I am not gonne give a synopsis on this book, you can google it if you want and you'll get lotsa returns.

What i want to say is that, Playing for Pizza prove that sometimes when you feel that your life sucks and you are at an all time low, it just might be a new beginning & a new oppurtunity for you. That life is so much more meaningful and fulfilling when u r doing something you love for the people you love and make you feel like u r a part of the family even when u r far away from home.

for the synopsis you can go to: http://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385525008
or just google it!! :)

[08.08.08]

Special date today!!! 08.08.08
Apart from the Beijing Olympics, i know that lotsa people are getting hitched today.
Today being Friday and all. Friday is the penghulu (chief) of days for Muslims, so most people want to get married on Friday. And with such memorable date, that's a plus already.

Well, congratulations to the grooms & best wishes to the brides who chooses to make 08.08.08 their special date & day :)

More interesting stuff on 08.08.08

you may kiss the bride

-- you may kiss the bride --

this is my favourite picture from my majlis pernikahan (solemnization). the first time i really look at this pic, and i think only one word can describe it, bliss.

this is as close as you can get to "you may kiss the bride" here. :)

now that the anger has gone

i was mad at my senior at the office yesterday. he told me that "You didnt handle this one well" while shaking his head. He got this signature u-r-wrong head shake that really bugs me (plus make me feel that i AM wrong).

what did i do wrong? i'm still a junior engineer (my senior told me that "refer to someone in areas that i am not technically capable", i was offended a lil bit by that), so i did refer to someone in solving this particular problem. It's just that HE was not that person, and HE hates the guts of the person i referred to. And HE has been eyeing that particular problem closely since the beginning cause he claims that he knows that IT will go wrong.

so i think maybe he wasnt just mad at me cause i "didnt handle this one well". i'd like to believe that some office politics were involved.

but me being me, i came to this office screaming "Good Morning" to him. he has yet to tease me about being newly weds today tho. he has been doing that since i return from my leave. so it's still weird. the anger has gone, but the memory of the "assault" remains...
