That's My Girl!

Have been getting a series of good news lately. First my brother was offered a job with Petronas, which means he will now be with us in Shah Alam. Soon am sure the whole family will be back here so all of use will be together again!

Today I found out that my niece Marjan scored 10As in her SPM! Woohoo! Am overjoyed with her achievement! Maybe now she can decide which course to pick...

Marjan - if you are reading this, I am so proud of you. Do what you like best and am sure you will shine in whatever you do :)

Exploring New Horizons

This is one of my personal KPI. I will attempt to go to places I have never been to before instead of constantly going to the same place over and over again. So now I'm sending good thoughts and hopefully I can go for Umrah, Wellington-New Zealand (to visit my cousin Sherin and perhaps also visit some LOTR sites) and New York. Doable? Here's to positive thinking :)

Lip Service

I haven't been bitching about my in-laws for quite sometime now - that coz I haven't been around them much. Last week, hubby announced that his 20-year old filthy rich niece who married a 45-year old divorced doctor with kids, will be celebrating her convocation in Melbourne and we (hubby and I) were invited. Flights & accomodation sponsored by them. The only thing is - that's the same time will be going to Bali (hubby won a trip there during his annual dinner). Hubby said we could instead go to Melbourne and cash in the Bali trip. I thought it was a rather good idea. Sure - am not a fan of his family but I wouldn't have to be around them the whole time. And if I am - well, that's why I have my netbook.

But somehow I had this nagging feeling that this trip ain't gonna happen. And sure enough, when hubby said yes to the trip, his niece said plans have been changed coz her dad couldn't go and coz of that, her mum didn't want to go and of course everyone else didn't want to go.

So there are two possible explanations to this. Either once they heard I wanted to go, they decided not to go or my hubby was trying to paint a nice picture of his family, he said I was invited, when I really wasn't.

So when spilled the beans, there were plenty of crying, screaming, history digging and my favourite - "ungkit-ing". And I told him under NO circumstance would I EVER want to be involved in his family events EVER AGAIN.

Honda's Kosmo Car Service Center Sucks!

Am really pissed. Had to wait from 9am to 4pm (on 1 Feb 2010) to get my car serviced. And when they were done, they called me on my hp coz I think they didn't know I was actually WAITING there. And I had to hunt for my car keys coz the person behind the counter was on the phone and did not acknowledge me. The best part is, the service advisor Jacky didn't even advise me if the problem with my car has been rectified or not! And when I got into the car and switched on the engine, my radio and aircond was on FULL BLAST!

I called the service center to complain the next day and Rizal said he will call back. He didn't. Then I called Honda's hotline and spoke to Izzudin. He promised to call me yesterday. He didn't call either. I called him twice today and he has yet to return my call. And Honda employs these kind of people?

Delusional Men

I have a friend whose husband divorced her just coz his business is thriving and he can afford to have another wife. And when she said no to polygamy, he said "fine". WTF, right? When his business was down in the dumps, it was his wife who supported him. Not the "new" wife.

Another friend's husband is planning to take another wife just because he feels she's spending too much time on their one-year old son. What gives? Whose son is she taking care of? The worse thing is, he can't even financially afford to have the current wife that he has, let alone taking another!

And if you think it's all about financial stability, you are wrong again. Just having the means to financially support more than 1 wife does not mean you should marry more than one. There's the emotional part, being fair to all your wives. Even in the Holy Quran, it states that if you can't be fair to your wives, just marry one.

Now I know not all men are like that. But those who are, shame on you. How would you feel if your dad took another wife? Or if your brother-in-law did that to your sister? Or if your son-in-law did that to your daughter??? Try putting yourself in other people's shoes for once and not think with your you-know-what!

How Time Flies

It seems like only yeterday I listed my 2009 wish list and now it's already 2010? So did I accomplish my wish list? Not 100% but I am thankful my husband is now working, I have a wonderful boss and my business with my sister in law is doing quite well.

My wish for 2009? If it's meant to be, I hope to be blessed with a healthly normal baby...

Here's praying and hoping...

Agoda Responded to my Blog...

Ok, I would have to say that I am slightly impressed that someone from Agoda actually posted a comment on my complains. But asking me to send an email to the same email address that did not give me the answer that I wanted is neither here nor there...

So Agoda, if you can help me and value me as a customer - I will wait for your feedback on my blog...just don't get my hopes up then let me down again...I have enough people in my life who do that.
