My Personal

Quit!

dixonthum
Have you ever wonder what will happen IF you quit your job?
 
What will happen to the house loan?          What will happen to your family?                What should you do after quitting?               Who is going to pay for your food?        What is going to pay for the petrol?                            No more KFC?                       No more nice clothes?        No more fancy restaurants?          No more MONEY???
 
Basically, everyone dreams of sitting down and relaxing at home. Shaking legs and doing nothing would be the ultimate bonus! Having time to fly around the world. Gosh… how I wish this can happen to me…!
 
There are so much thoughts I have in mind when I think of the question above. I really don’t know what will happen next. So much responsibilities and burden to consider. I believe everyone has their one responsibilities as well which kept them continue working although most of them do not like their jobs. So, no matter how bad you think your job is, be strong. Keep reminding yourself that you need the job to earn a living, for a better future, for your family and for yourself. This will make you feel a lot better.
 
But to tell you the truth, I’m looking forward for the day when I need not work but just lay back and relax (+ shake legs + do nothing) without worrying about money. Wouldn’t that be great?
Food & Drink

Dining at Basil, Bangsar Village

It was Friday and as usual, the road was jam all the way after fetching Mein from Universiti LRT Station. So, I used another road to go home. But still, traffic was static. So, we decided to go out for dinner first and go home thereafter to avoid the traffic. Went to Bangsar Village (1 & 2)… Nothing much there. Quite hard to find food with decent price. Even went out to Jalan Telawi but couldn’t get anything desirable. Went in back to Bangsar Village and saw Basil. There’s a bunting staying some promotions and discounts for CIMB card users. Since Mein is one, so, we went in to give it a try.
 
We order a tomyam seafood for 2 pax with 2 plates of rice, a bowl of water chestnut dessert and a glass of warm water. I liked the tomyam pretty much. But Mein & I felt that its not enough milky (tak cukup lemak). The dessert was OK. I liked the one from Little Penang more.
 
The atmosphere there was soothing and comfortable. Everywhere was decorated with colourful fresh flowers. The price was reasonable too.
 
I rate Basil :
Food : StarStarStar
Environment : StarStarStarStar
Price : StarStarStarStar
Service : StarStarStarStar

REAL DEAL COMBO MEAL!

Went to buy nasi lemak for breakfast just now. There’s sotong curry, potato sambal, some vege and as usual, satu biji telur! It cost me RM5.30 for it. I told to myself, "Oh, how expensive!"… When I started to dig in, I find it difficult to finish all at one go… Too big portion. Well, I’ll save the leftovers for lunch then… Now, I think it’s worth it. It only cost RM2.65 per meal today! Great! This is what I call – REAL DEAL COMBO MEAL!

Siti Nurhaliza

Satu Siti, Satu Koleksi

Again, this blog would be in Malay…
Sepertimana yang anda tahu, saya telah menghadiri Konsert Eksklusif Satu Ahad lalu. Sebelum persembahan dimulakan, saya menunggu Ezwan dan kawannya, Yusri di lobi Istana Budaya. Untuk memeriahkan lagi suasana, pihak penganjur telah memperagakan beberapa pakaian yang pernah dipakai oleh Siti sebagai pameran. Sungguh cantik sekali. Tetapi saya rasa pakaian itu kelihatan berbeza semasa dipakai oleh patung dan Siti sendiri.
Pakaian ini dipakai semasa Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian 2005.
Siti mengenakan busana hijau ini di Anugerah Era 2007 yang berlangsung di Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands.
Yang ini pula, Siti pakai ke Grammy Awards ke-49. 
Pakaian yang dipakai semasa Anugerah Juara Lagu ke-22. Ini merupakan penampilan umum pertama Siti selepas bertudung.
Pakaian merah tersebut dikenakan di dalam Konsert ‘Live’ Siti Nurhaliza di Bukit Jalil pada tahun 1999.
Suasana Konsert Mega Siti Nurhaliza di Bukit Jalil pada tahun 2002 ini digamatkan dengan pakaian berlampu Siti pada permulaan persembahan. Pada masa itu, Siti digantung dan diterbangkan ke tengah pentas untuk menyanyi. Saya dan Ezwan juga ada di konsert tersebut. Saya mengenali seorang kawan baru di sana, Siti Juliana yang juga kawan Ezwan. Pengalaman konsert ini tidak dapat kami lupakan.
Siti memakai Baju Jalur Gemilang ini semasa Konsert Untukmu Sudir. Rasanya, baju ini diinspirasikan oleh baju Bendera Malaysia yang pernah dipakai oleh Sudirman dulu.
Busana putih yang anggun ini dipakai semasa persembahan pembuka tirai di Konsert Royal Albert Hall, London.
Busana merah bercorak ini pula dipakai di dalam konsert yang sama (Royal Albert Hall), semasa Siti menyanyikan lagu-lagu Irama Tradisional.
Tidak akan saya lupakan baju kurung kuning ini. Siti memakai baju kurung ini di dalam sidang akhbar yang diadakan di Zone on the Park apabila Siti mengumumkan lelaki pilihan hatinya. (Pedihnya hati…!)
Busana perkahwinan yang dipakai di dalam resepsi perkahwinan Siti. Siti menyanyikan lagu “Cahaya Cinta” pada masa itu. (Oh… pedih lagi hatiku…)
Saya rasa tidak keterlaluan jika dibuka sebuah muzium untuk menempatkan pakaian-pakaian Siti dan anugerah-anugerah yang telah dimenangi untuk dikongsi bersama peminat. (Tapi kalau sebuah saja, cukup tak?)
