I don't understand how people do business sometimes.
Especially those yang konon-konon Jessica Boutique, konon-konon Paula Collection, tapi bila sampai kedai, kena take off your shoes.
WTF!
I don't mind if they are small stalls dekat Pasar Siti Khadijah tu ke...At least I know I won't be wearing my nice, difficult-to-take-off high heels to those kind of place. But, when I am already nicely donned, complete with matching set of heels, suddenly I have to take my shoes off, that really ticks me off!
A few times, I purposely said it out loud, "Tak nak masuklah kedai ni! Tak professional, kena buka kasut pulak..."
Bukanlah I nak berlagak ke ape, but in my opinion, it's so unwelcoming, why would you want to make it a hassle for your customers? Is this a good business strategy? Come on lah, you claim it's a boutique, right, please don't treat your shop as if it's your house! Baik buat home business je macam tu kan!
Most of the time, I just pretend that I don't see the sign "Sila tanggalkan kasut." Usually, they let me roam the shop, but there are times when the shopkeeper has the guts to tell me, "Kena bukak kasut ye..."
Haa, masa ni mestilah aku naik angin. Terus I tarik my husband keluar and I'll be in a very foul mood.
Seriously, I don't understand lah Malay business! Why!!!
One time, my husband pulak yang over, I pretended not to realize the signage, but my husband pandai-pandai, "Yang, yang, kena buka kasut. Kak, kena buka kasut ke?"
OMG, siap clarify dengan tukang jaga kedai tu. Lepas tu, memang kenalah berbaldi baldi ceramah dengan I. I mean, why do you want to encourage this type of business attitude? IT IS SO NOT PROFESSIONAL! Unacceptable!
Again, I would like to stress, I am totally okay with small shoplots, because at least I can just screen from the outside just to see what it has to offer. Ni kedai amboi, cantik, konon ekslusif la, sekali kena tanggal kasut.
Bodoh!

Have you lost a friend on purpose?
I had un-friended one friend. Sebab dia hypocrite.
And I have two people who un-friended me. The reason is pretty stupid.
Macam ni ceritanya...
So, we were all friends and happy, me, Tiqah, Polly and Bruce. Bruce is quite good-looking, he's smart and nice (was nice). Bruce was Tiqah's friend first, before Tiqah knew Polly, and then Polly introduced me to the rest.
We were so close for many years, travelled to a lot of places together, hung out at each other's house, talked about pretty much everything in the world...
Tiqah, who is older than the rest of us, had a huge crush on Bruce since forever. She never admitted it openly to me, but it was so obvious! Polly also had feelings for him.
(And that's why I strongly believe friends should just stay friends!)
One time, Tiqah even confessed to Bruce, but Bruce turned her down. We stayed friends, however. Sometimes, Polly and Tiqah would have conversations something like this,
Tiqah: Why don't you go out with Bruce.
Polly: Why? Bruce and I are only friends.
Tiqah: Don't tell me you never had feelings for him.
Polly: I used to. Not anymore. Why don't you, Tiqah, why don't you go out with him instead?
Tiqah: I tried. But he said I am not for him.
Polly: So...Wouldn't you mind if me and him end up together?
Tiqah: If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
Dah nampak kan danger signs di situ...But it went on for years...
Towards the last year of our friendship, Bruce started to become more and more annoying to me. He told Polly and Tiqah that I was bossy and rude! The nerve that he had! How could a friend talked behind your back like that! So, we stopped talking to each other. My other friends who got my back also stopped talking to him because we think he was being ridiculous. (Yeay, my other friends!)
It was kinda abrupt for us to end things. Well, if he thinks he can hate me, I am so hating him back! (In the end, my friends and I saw his true colours. Basically, we found out, most of his earlier friends had walked out from his life. It proves that it's not me, it's him!)
So, that's how one people un-friended me.
Bruce continued to be friends with Polly and Tiqah. I don't mind. For me, we should handle it like adults. I have nothing against my friends being friends with people I don't like. What happened between Bruce and I had nothing to do with Polly and Tiqah. It's a personal choice. Besides, I am already happy that my other friends are sticking with me. Bruce pulak cuma ada 2 kawan je, so kasik can lah...Hehe.
2 years went by, Bruce suddenly said he liked Polly and wanted to boyfriend girlfriend. Polly accepted. Besides, Tiqah did say, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
But you see, Tiqah just said that to make her feel better. She didn't realize it could really happen!
When they decided to tell Tiqah about it, Tiqah was so mad, like, really really mad, I've never seen someone that mad over a guy! Tiqah was like, "Yes, I love Bruce! There, I said it. I am in love with Bruce! Why did you do this to me!"
Tiqah confronted Bruce and Polly, and me. I tried to reason with her. I mean, we were all friends at that time, girls should stick together and support each other. I told Tiqah that we should be happy for Polly, the best example, me. I was happy for Polly even though I did not 100% percent approve it. (I no longer get along with Bruce, remember?)
I am not going to tell you the lengths Tiqah had gone to win him back, but she was crazy. We never thought she had it in her...
Finally, Tiqah said, Polly and her can never be friends again. Somehow, I also got dragged into this whole mess. (How can I avoid?! I was expected to be the middleman) Although Tiqah said all is well between me and her, but Tiqah deleted me from her FB account. (I still think I am innocent!)
Somehow, Tiqah never blamed Bruce for this, she only thought how slutty Polly was. Love is blind, I guess?
My husband and I, on the other hand, think it was all Bruce's fault!
So, that's the end of our friendships. I am not friends with Bruce or Tiqah. Polly and Bruce did not work out. All the catfights were worthless.
I still hate Bruce, I think it's all because of him. I am sad with Tiqah's decision to un-friend me. Polly feels the worst, I think. She is kinda haunted, always think she is guilty for ruining things between us.
I don't know why I suddenly wrote this. I wonder what Tiqah has been up to...
I've never thought I would lose a dear friend over a guy. And I am not even fighting her for the guy! What a regret.

My husband is sleeping next to me. He received a shot on the bum just now, because he couldn't stand his runny nose.
He has severe sinus and is allergic to many things (I pray to God he won't pass the bad genes to our children!). Last night, we were at a dinner function. Food was served late, around 9.30pm. You know guys when they are hungry...They get cranky.
So, I took a bowl of mee curry and gave it to him (while he got our drinks). He, of course, gobbled the dish down, halfway only to realize it contained seafood.
(The mee curry was good, on a sidenote)
This morning, as expected, we woke feeling itchy on the face. He took two tablets of Panadols and Claritynes. It didn't work. He continued to sneeze despite taking a nap (effect from the medicines, usually a nap would relieve the symptoms). At 7pm, he went to his regular clinic to receive the magic drug.
The clinic, is quite a distance from our house. I asked him whether he knows the name of the injection. In case of emergency, example, if we are in another state, we could always ask for it.
Husband: Setiap kali I pergi jumpa dia, I tanya nama ubat tu. Tapi doktor tu taknak bagitau. Tu macam secret ubat clinic dia.
OMG! What if it was something illegal...!!! That's unethical, isn't it? How can you refuse information when your patient ask for it? Bodoh, macam mana lah negara nak maju. Gila apa main secret-secret pulak. Patutlah Melayu/ Islam asyik mundur je, kedekut ilmu!
-----
This year, I've been so bad!
I forgot my husband's birthday (did I write about that?). I also forgot two of my closest friends' birthdays. I forgot Mother's birthday! I would've even forgot my own boirthday if my husband wasn't so excited the night before!
And I, being so bad, didn't realize about it for dayssss after! (Slaps forehead)
Mother sent a text, asking how I was doing while explaining that she was playing with her new toy, a smartphone. It was a gift from my brother.
"Telefon touchscreen, macam-maca ada. Tapi nak buat apa, tak mustahak pun, bukannya guna pun. Tapi ada satu yang mak suka. Boleh dengar azan tepat pada waktunya. Haha, yang ini memang suka."
My husband and I laughed reading the text from Mother cause she sounded young and hip, siap guna 'Haha' lagi.
She just turned 65!

My life is so up and down and up and down.
Ended the day at work feeling so overwhelmed with work! I have three projects to do. One is supposed to be ongoing since 3 months ago, but we have no leader. Hence, proscatination and everything must be done within 2 weeks because the presentation is due by then. Of course, like the other two projects, I am the scapegoat. Not important enough to be ordering people around, not insignificant enough to hide and tell people that I am incompetent for a research project. I hate being in the middle!
I brought the frustration with me. I was walking away from the lobby when I bumped into a nice Dato'.
This Dato' earns my respect from the first time we encountered each other.
I was dealing with a difficult client. Turns out, the client was a distant relative of him. Me, being new in this place, at that time, had no idea who he was. My staffs filled me in with the basic details but if you know me personally, you'd know I don't like giving special treatments just because you are 'somebody'.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I felt that I needed to get out from there. At the same time, since Dato' and I are in the same line of work (although in different departments), I felt compelled to explain a little bit more than adequate about the situation.
That day, I worked long hours. Dato', on the other hand, despite being just 'bau-bau bacang' with my client, stayed with her, probably for moral support. And, that's why he saw my hard work. (And I continued to ignore him)
Now, I have lost the client. But every now and then, I do see Dato' around. Sometimes, he gives talks which we have to attend. From the way he handles himself, I conclude he is funny, easy going and humble.
Didn't give too much thought about it until a few days ago, he made eye contact and nodded when he saw me, which translates as, I remember you. I smiled.
As I was telling earlier, I was feeling frustrated. Again, today, I encountered this Dato'. This time, he greeted, "Assalamualaikum."
Me: Waalaikumussalam.
Dato': Nama you siapa eh?
Me: Ectopy. (I showed him my nametag because people mispronounce my name all the time)
Then, he asked me about the specific of my job and where I am currently at. Then, he took interest about my plan in the future in terms of career evolvement.
I told him.
Dato': How long have you been in service?
I gave him my honest answer.
He was quite surprised. He said I should forego with my plans and he thinks I am super qualified.
Dato': I like the way you work. You are very good. Keep it up.
Me: Really? Thank you.
Dato's was generous with compliments. He's so nice and genuine. For that, he has my utmost respect.
From the bottom of the wheel, I was temporarily up.
I arrived home proudly.
Even though I was not very good with my exam marks, once I got into the professional world, I know I have what it takes. And I know which area I want to narrow it down to. In terms of practical, I am so damn good in what I do. From here, all I can see is infinite stairs to go to the top. I hate climbing, it's tiring and so consuming. I am ready, but I am not sure whether I can do it.
Now, I am online.
I browsed thorugh my good friend's FB page and apparently, he is having a blast. He did ask me to join him for the trip. But, I am now married and priorities have to be changed, whether I like it or not. There's a bit of jealousy and regret for turning down the invite. I would have experienced an adventure.
Down again.
*Sigh*
I am so labile, the doctor would probably tell I have bipolar.
Tonight, I refuse to cook. I want my husband to bring me out for dinner. We are so going over this matter! Husband, I need you.

I have a huge crush on Mike Ross, the young genius from Suits.
To me, he's the kind of guy I would fall far, always!
Intelligent, a bit on the skinny side, witty, riding a bicycle to work...
The good thing is, my husband is a bit on the skinny side and although not super intelligent, but he is still quite smart. Haha. Sorry, sayang!
The thing I don't like about the drama is, the friendship betrayal. And this is a recurring theme in every single TV series that I love/ used to love, it's so annoying!
I have many examples to prove my point:
One Tree Hill
The O.C
Gossip Girls
Glee
Grey's Anatomy
See...They are all ended up making out with each other's boyfriend/ girlfriend.
Ugh.
I ni pulak, jenis yang allergic dalam hal-hal sebegini.
It is against my principle. I would never do such thing is my life. And I would never forgive my bestfriends who do such thing to me.
Wah, you think this is like a piece clothing that you can swap around, is it?
Terus turn off nak tengok benda-benda ni.
And my crush is no longer perfect in my eyes...They don't exist! Even on TVs...Thanx for crushing my hope, thanx a lot, you idiot box.
In the end, I am loyal to TV shows like
SVU
CSI
The Amazing Race
NCIS
Talkshows like Dr. Oz and Oprah
At least I tak lag meroyan sangat when I watch them.

Why is it, whenever I blog, I would think about babies? Pfft, it's not like I think about babies in actual life.
You guys must be thinking I am crazy, having a sickly obsession.
My friend showed me a photo of his newborn, all I could say was,
"Gemoknye! Muka ikut mak ke, ikut ayah ni?"
Now, I regret for not going mainstream. Should've just said how cute the baby is.
I figured, he must already have the same compliments over and over again and I was just trying to be genuine.
But, instead of achieveing 'genuine', I appeared more forced and fake. Urgh!
It's not that I am not happy for him.
A teeny weeny jealous at his wife, maybe. Because, she's my age, she just had a baby and at the same time, she's advancing in terms of career and education in a foreign country which is so exciting and glamorous just like what I have always had in my mind, at this point in life.
In reality, I am always here, what we call, masih di takuk lama. I am scared. And depressed.
Change is good. I need to change.
------
On a happier note, the burden on my shoulders are slightly relieved when two new guys came to join our department, even though it's just temporary.
My colleague introduced to us,
"And this is Ectopy. She might look like a kid but she's married."
I thought it's pretty funny. A compliment, I guess?
Thank you, Mother, for passing on the youth gene to me.

My husband's bestfriend's dad passed away a few days ago. He's so old, almost 90 years old, so everybody was kinda expecting it.
I called Mother while my husband was away helping the mourning family. Mother said, "At least dia panjang umur..." and she mentioned how Father left us so soon.
I was working one day, attending to a clien's need. I asked my client whether he had come alone. He said, his daughter also works in the same building. So, even though his daughter was not at present, he actually fetches his daughter to and fro every single day. Then he smiled proudly.
I remember the days when Father used to send me to college. On weekends, he would swing by my college and picked me up so I can spend my weekends at home. It wasn't a hassle for him because he would fetch me on his way back from work.
I had what that Pakcik is having with his daughter and I miss it.
