My hair is pretty long now. It falls below my shoulders now. But!! My hair is thinning!! I thought i was imagining this until my sister pointed it out.
Am I really that stressed out from work? Don't get me wrong I love my job but is the stress worth losing my hair for? I don't wanna be bald!!
Hair loss treatment shampoo, say hello to your new friend, Arinah
Fokus!!
I got my study manual in the mail today at work. My manager and I opened the package like we were getting christmas presents. We are self proclaimed dorks.
So here I am sitting at my desk with my laptop trying to study but facebook is distracting me. This is all too familiar. It's like college all over again. Except that this time there's a lot of money at stake.
My company will not reimburse me if I don't pass. So that's a big motivation right there. okay bye bye facebook.

Long awaited vacation
Jamaine and I are going to HK end of September!! I finally renewed my passport and bought a ticket. I am very excited to go to HK and shop there!!
After our 4 day trip to HK, we are going to Perhentian Island in Malaysia. It'll be a great getaway and according to my housemate, we can watch the sunset when we are there!!
I know i've been lazy when it comes to updating this blog. It's mostly have to do with crappy internet and lack of fun things to write about.

Biggest Loser Ampangan (My hometown)
I was 160lbs in December 2009.
I am now 148 lbs (approximately 67 kg). That's 12 effing pounds.
I wanna thank myself for walking to and from the monorail station every working day, my trainer for tolerating my demanding personality and my cousins for over exaggerating my weight loss.
Maybe I'll do a before and after picture just to annoy all the fatties out there.

I hate..
couples in matching outfits
and
steps that aren't the same size
but I love the fact that I work so close to two of my good friends from high school. We even have lunch together sometimes :D
and I love my apartment coz it is so close to work(i leave home at 8am nowadays and get there at 8:30am), so close to some of the best shopping malls in Malaysia, so close to the best food in town, the best clubbing spot in town and bootleg dvd shops but I hate my roommate who thinks we are good friends
and I love my new job :)

Legit
"I stopped eating pork chops when I found out they came from pigs" - silly chick from the show 'taking the stage'
"Coffee is not like alcohol. You can get addicted to it!!" - 30 rock
Okay I hate it when people say legit. I guess I just managed to annoy myself.

Double whammy
I woke up on Sunday with my whole body aching. I thought it was just from the workout on Saturday but noooooooooooooooooooooo. That wasn't the only reason. I also had a fever.
I guess staying out late at night and waking up way too early the next day to work out wasn't the greatest idea :(

Bathroom matters
I always wonder if the woman who just used the stall before me was a shemale whenever I see the toilet seat up.I mean COME ON!! What if someone just sits on the toilet without looking and they get stuck in it like Ally McBeal in that one episode.
Anyway, I miss reading all the stupid things scribbled on the bathroom walls at U of M. The best one was "Define God" and someone wrote "ABBA". An acquaintance said he saw "a lot of people shit with pens" which I think is utterly clever.
Quote of the day "Keep your stomach to yourself". Best quote from yesterday "Sausage makes me happy" which sounded so wrong coming from a man.

Negative thoughts
You know when u try to be depressed and it doesn't work it's really funny. But when you're not even trying and you are, that's not funny at all.
Last time I felt this way was when I was moving back here. When there's so much negativity going on around you, even the most positive person can suffer (assuming that I am a positive person :P)
Looking at the bright side, my good friend(you get a compliment only coz u were willing to let me bitch at you) pointed out that I have it easy compared to him. Which is true. So I will be patient and I will live moment to moment until I feel better.
I've been missing all my friends in Michigan too :( I want to enjoy this spring with you guys

Goal!!
Scored my first goal playing indoor soccer today. Wee hee!!
I have holes in the crotch area of my work out pants. Time for new pants :D
I think the big blue toe nail on my right foot is about to come off soon. I just can't wait. It feels like there's something that's attached to my body but it doesn't belong there. I promise that I will post a picture of it when it comes off just for your viewing pleasure.

Update on life part 1
I just got gym membership to Fitness First. FF is just like bally's. It's a huge chain that is supposedly international.
I plan to go to the gym Monday morning before work. Wish me luck :P
Here's an update on someone elses life. Mas' cat just died a few days ago. RIP fat cat. I'll miss your grumpy face. Now no cat is around to bite Safiyyah.

Singapore and KL tour once again
As you all probably know, my friend Adam came down to Singapore and Malaysia to visit. Once again, I became the tour guide.
I think Singapore gives me a different experience everytime. I think mostly coz I went with different people. hahaha.
We took many long walks around Singapore and downtown KL. Had awesome coffee and caught up with each other's lives. We had so many conversations about awesome food in Ann Arbor which became very painful at times as we both missed food from places like Sadako and BTB.
So Adam is boy #3 to come to Malaysia. When are you girls coming here????
Picture
#1 Silly Adam taking picture while I was getting some money
#2 Adam's lady man from the Philippines
#3 Buddha tooth temple that was built in 2007. It has elevators
#4 At a coffee shop on Arab Street. They had couches and books for u to read
3:40:04 ?
I think that was how long it took me to finish the half marathon last night in Putrajaya. Here's a km by km recap of the run
0km : Really have to pee but the run was about to start so I decided to hold it in
2km: Wow the Putrajay International Convention Center looks amazing at night. Damn I don't have a camera with me
3km: Where is the bathroom? And why are we running uphill?
5km: Seriously where is the bathroom? None of the volunteers knew where the bathroom(porta potty) is.
10km: Yay found the bathroom. Serious blisters are forming. How nice.
15 km : Oh cram!
18km: Wheeee we're getting close
19km: Wow that was the longest 1km ever. I see the finish line
20km: Oh damn we still had to go around the court house. This is never ending
21km : Wheee. I'm dying. Can't feel my feet anymore
I really enjoyed the run and I'll definitely do it again. Hopefully with a running buddy and higher endurance level next time. I also enjoyed seeing a couple of my INTEC friends last nite.
For now, I'm just gonna chill here on this couch. I can barely feel my legs.

Snoopy
I was just walking to the gate at the airport when I saw him and his entourage. Just chilling there like he was not all there.
The overly exited me went like "Aaaaaaaaaah Snoop Doggy Dog! I love you can I get a picture with you??"
Snoop: Hey girl, what's up! Why don't you sit on my lap and we'll take a picture?
Me: Sweet.
Snoop: Damn baby girl, you're crushing my legs.
Me: Ooops sorry
Click. The picture came out perfect. Me on Snoop's lap just twirling his hair. Snoop asked my for number but he hasn't called. I bet he doesn't even remember going to the airport.

First Pay Check, sort of
So it's payday!! It's not my very first paycheck coz I've had 3 or 4 part time jobs before. but I guess I'm still excited coz this is my first paycheck from my first full time job. wheeeeeeeeee
What am I gonna do with all this money :P (Just trying to make you think that I make a lot of money, this is definitely a lie)
1) get new pair of work shoes. the shoes I have now are not very HOT. I want something hot and sexy. Maybe I'll get white shoes coz they look cool.
2) why did I put #1 up there?
Okay I really don't have any other plans. Maybe I'll buy a book or something.
7 days till my half marathon in Putrajaya. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Wish me luck :D

The New Life
Now that I am working I leave the house around 7am. Which is sooooooo early compared to my highschool days. I spend about 2-3 hours on my commute to work everyday. I might need to find a place closer to work but coming back to home cooked meals,thanks to Didi, is a pretty good deal.
I'll be working this weekend. I know right, first week and I'm already working on the weekend. I don't think it'll be too bad. Traffic is definitely gonna be better.
All in all, I enjoy my new job. The people at work are really nice to me and most of them are around my age. We have seats by the window at the office that has a cafe-like environment and consultants are free to seat anywhere. The corner offices are surrounded by glasses which reminds me of the glass house in the movie "13 ghosts". They even write on the glasses, which is JUST like the movie.
