income tax…be my pleasure

i am now officially a gud samaritan in malaysia…i am now obligated to lhdn, and today, the first day of my newly revised salary, i need to pay lhdn rm930.

my brother in law was saying…”sabrina…wif that amount of money, u can get marc jacob’s handbag tau“…

yeah thanks to bro for supporting me through this hard and thick reality that part of the salary needs to be donated to lhdn.

hmm…what more can i say? its automate isnt it?

however on a different note…though today is my payday…i have actually membuat beberapa pembelian last saturday…knowing that i’d be receiving quite handsomely amount of money, i figured some things can be paid via cheque and credit card…

anticipatingly…i bought these 3 items….my justification was, i need to purchase something more meaningful, significant and noteworthy…

in other words…i need to get SOMETHING BIG!

so u people be my pleasure to guess, which are the ones i’ve just purchased….to azie n lilie…keep it to urself…u both have known…

so lhdn…please be my pleasure and take my money away before i get something big, bigger!!!!

p/s: i actually granted my dad a present…a proud daughter treating him for what he has wished….

kissing my ass

its the lnpt season….and frankly, i never agree wif this sytem…so hows this system is efficient…now u tell me…its more like…its either ur boss like u or not….and being human….how easy man tends to be bias and prejudice..

and wif all of this factor…i wonder how this system wud distinguish in between professionalism and personal…its more of either the bos like u or not…fair enuff if the bos loves u , but do contemplate if u were to be the victim, in which whateva u do, ur boss is the fault finder in ur actions….

and of course, ur lnpt will be affected…

i just dont get it how and why this sytem has been created…i am more a believer of indicator….u do how many reports per year, how many projects….more of objective evidence believer…

am not trying to be utopia…am just hoping there wud be a system that cud eliminate all the potentialities of prejudice….malaysian compared to other nation always have the tendency to membodek @ kissing the ass…and i hopefully there wud be a system in government that cud defy any possibilities that leads to it… i hope….

hope is always a waking dream….

conflict

my nerves have been so haywiredddddddddddddddddddddd……in distinguishing in between dreams, hope, expectation….

am trying to fit in this one being’s syndrome who has been so eager to differentiate in between these 3 terms.

rizuan in his last entry wrote that time will heal the wounds…in some sense i do agree…no matter how hard u try to differentiate, its still there…no matter how hard u try to justify, its still there….and worst case scenario, no matter how hard u try to rebounce, the scar remains…

i am a different person today, a great leap from last 2 weeks…had nothing to boast actually, but the fact that i rebounced within few days time was quite impressing…. 

i have learnt one thing…and i beg to differ from one of my best friend who said that u can dream, but never hope or expects…nah…as for me…though my hope had once crushed into pieces, i dont think i’d ever give up any hope again…i wud probably hope and hope again…but one thing for sure, i dont think i wud expect anything for sure….

after all, life is all about uncertainties….because if it were not for hopes, the heart would break and fall and will never heal….

Hope is a waking dream.

jalan-jalan cari tayar

we took off from KB at 10am on last sunday, however, due to traffic congestion along the way, we arrived safely at 3am…but look at the hours…..with that hours by taking a flite, i’d be london already!

it was bumper to bumper, special thank u i bid to my beloved other half for being strong, resisting his heavy eyed and the lethargic feeling especially during karak…

for a start, the trip to kb was pretty challenging actually…my parents car tyre was burst punctured in the middle of kg awah…and due to negligence, he didnt bring the screw of the tyre, making the tyre unable to open. having punctured in the middle of nowhere and having a posh car like that doesnt help. making it worst, its the chinese new year, all shops are closed….it was more of jalan-jalan cari tayar at first…

thanks again to my hubby, being the walking 7-eleven…after 4 hrs, we have partly solved the prob by calling one of his frens….

on a positive side, tudung was so overwhelming for me…didnt have my eye on batik due to “more value for money” principle…(more tudung than having just one batik), i caught quite a lot…

luqman was pretty enjoying the trip, after all, so many toys he has got for himself…. luqman dah ader laptop finally! ;)

we went to pantai cahaya bulan….it was cleaner than before…

the waves were quite strong though…and kites were flown everywhere…

it was a great trip actually, my objective to buy lotsa tudung was actually accomplish, though sampai ke sudah aku tak jumpa tudung biru gelap yang cantik….and to pah…i think the principle of baik nyesal beli drp nyesal tak beli really shud be applied sebab ader satu tudung tu tudung hijau aku nyesal tak beli….sampai ke hari ni nyesal tak sudah…

when hope and expectations collides

i have learnt one thing on last wednesday evening…that when ur expection wasnt met, u’d be frustrated.

but i guess, that was yesterday, its tuesday now, am all healed up…yesterday was a history, and of course today is all better than yesterday….

Yesterday, a friend was asking me the difference in between expectation and hope…i answered:

  • hope is u wanted something, hoping it will come true without any certainty….but when u expect something, it drives u so much to achieve it…u anticipate so much for it to happen

my answered was denied. accordingly, hope and expectation are the same…

according to online dictionary hope is defined as the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best:

while expectation is defined as to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of or to look for with reason or justification.

and then i was asked again, what have i expected?

i never want to answer that…

its more of, i hope to win but u cant always expect to win…after all life is all about uncertainties.
