value for money

its back and kicking!the Year End Sale.YES!hehe.he he he… (u know what i mean)

YES

just wondering.say u have an RM100 budget for a handbag.then you go to this mall and browse through the handbags.different section, different discount.u come down to 2 options,

Option 1
Brand : Unbranded
Normal Price : RM100
Price after discount : RM70

Option 2
Brand : GUESS
Normal Price : RM300
Price after discount : RM150

well provided that both meet your physical criteria.which handbag would you choose.remember your budget?

get what i mean?

its the sale im talking about.its value for money.believe it or not.
im a kind of person whose fussy about the brand cause it reflects the quality.i have few shoes.very.few.shoes.but the most im wearing rite now is the hush puppies.been wearing it for almost 2 yrs now.still in a good condition.oh and another pair is the carlo rino.been wearing for almost a year.still comfortable.u can ask my unimates and my sistah.they knew my-only-two-shoes.he he.then i have few more shoes bought from normal shops.wore for few times,then it’ll start to patah la.koyak la.or even worse, it’ll cause my feet to melecet.huhuhu..but weird enough im not sure of the lifetime of those designer handbags/shoes/bla3 cause i dont have one.he he.if hush puppies can last up to 5 yrs, then it should last like 25 yrs la kan—looking at the price comparison.hik2..joking..

but maybe it does not apply to other things.or maybe diff ppl diff opinion…
all i can say is i hardly buy things.so when i come to buy one, i’ll be very particular about the brand.coz i need it to last long.coz i dun shop so frequent.so i need it to last.oh its like chicken and egg.haha

oh of course i chose GUESS(i dun like the design.y la bg contoh GUESS) after the blablabla above.

oke i rest my case.no offence ppl.hehe

dari GB ke dorsett

masih ingat entri ini?
tak terasa masa berlalu.sungguh!

saya sedang menghabiskan malam terakhir saya di gelombang biru.ya,terakhir.setelah hampir 10 bulan menginap di sini.minggu hadapan dan hari seterusnya saya akan kembali di pejabat klcc.oh,melainkan saya perlu menghadirkan diri ke tempat-tempat lain atas urusan kerja.mungkin ke pasir gudang kembali atas urusan dokumen dan barang-barang modifikasi platform yang perlu dishipkan.itu pun tinggal berbaki beberapa hari lagi.dan bulan hadapan,selesai!alhamdulillah….

kenapa malam terakhir?

walaupun saya masih perlu menghadirkan diri ke pejabat kontraktor on-off basis untuk urusan yang belum selesai, saya mahu mencuba tempat tinggal lain…

pernah dengar dorsett?ya,mari kita kaji kelebihan dorsett berbanding gelombang biru (GB)…

1. cuma 15 minit perjalanan ke pasir gudang.GB lebih kurang 40minit
2. ada flat screen TV 32″ (saya bagi 4 bintang!)
3. ada wifi (saya bagi 5 bintang!!)
4. baru dibuka pada 27 julai 2008, maka bilik2nya masih baru ;p
5. 10 minit ke tesco extra plentong
6. ada perkhidmatan shuttle

apa-apa saje lah…promo untuk rakan2 yang mungkin akan bercuti di johor atau pun atas urusan kerja.bolehlah mencuba.hehe…

lagipun tinggal tak sampai sebulan pun untuk saya benar2 ucap,

“goodbye johor..till next project~ oh and thanks for the memories…”

maamur the legend

saya paling suka biskut maamur
kalau tiba hari raya, tiap rumah saya akan cari biskut ini
tapi 2 kali eidulfitri yang lepas menyaksikan kekecewaan saya terhadap kewujudan biskut ini
kalau ada pun tak sesedap zaman dahulu(dahulu la sgt)
atau intinya bukan kacang dan diganti dengan kurma dsbg
maka raya kali ini saya nekad untuk membuat maamur sendiri
ngeh ngeh ngeh….

.

.

.

.

.

.

tadaaaa

maamur1

hoho.bahagian memasukkan kacang adalah yang paaaaaling sukar
saya mengambil masa lebih dari seminit untuk menyiapkan sebiji maamur
sekarang saya faham mengapa tak ramai orang buat biskut maamur
dan tak pernah lagi saya jumpa org mengambil tempahan membuat biskut ini

oh hasilnya?

dsc02617

*blush*

untuk pengetahuan pembaca,ini bukanlah kali pertama
2 tahun lepas, saya terlalu obses dgn biskut mazola
pun susah nak jumpa walaupun hari raya
akhirnya saya nekad membuatnya sendiri
apabila saya dah menguli dan menerap sehingga terhasil berbalang2
saya sudah tak boleh makan lagi biskut mazola.overdose haha!

mungkin sama kes nya dgn biskut maamur..hmm..apakata kita lihat…*wink*

moral drp kesah ini : barulah saya faham mengapa orang tak jual/buat maamur.jangan pandai mengkritik.sendiri buat baru tau langit tu tinggi ke rendah haha!

inshaallah kita semua panjang umur dan akan ditemukan lagi dengan ramadhan 1430H amiin ya Allah..

“selamat hari raya aidilfitri
maaf zahir dan batin”

tentang ramadhan

bulan puasa sgt sinonim dengan makanan.mari kita kaji..

bazar ramadhan
ramadhan tahun ini saya berkesempatan merasa membeli belah di bazar ramadhan taman mawar, pasir gudang.lebih kurang 10minit perjalanan dari pejabat kontraktor.juadah yang dijual pelbagai dan mengejutkan,murah-murah belaka.namun, mengikut observasi saya dan rakan, hampir kesemua gerai tidak meletakkan tanda harga bagi makanan/minuman yang dijual.jika dilapor kepada persatuan pengguna,dgn mudah kita sbg pelanggan boleh menang kes.mana taknya,tanpa meletakkan tanda harga, mereka boleh menukar2 harga mengikut suka.mungkin dgn pelanggan A mereka kata murtabak RM2/keping dan dengan pelanggan B boleh jadi dicaj RM3/keping.ehem,anda fhm maksud saya.dan lagi saya lihat kebanyakan dari mereka masih amatur dan kekok membuat kerja2 di gerai.saya kira mereka mencari duit lebih sempena ramadhan atau mereka memang tak pernah bukak gerai dan hanya nak test market.hehe.apepun, ini cuma observasi saya.mungkin di bazar2 tempat lain berbeza suasananya.

hotel/restoran
alhamdulillah.murah rezeki ramadhan tahun ni.hampir setiap hari ada saja jemputan berbuka di hotel sekitar jb dan pasir gudang.bluewave,mutiara,panpacific dan seterusnya.separuh masa pertama ramadhan bufet masih lengang dengan manusia dan saya boleh makan tanpa rasa tertekan.namun bila masuk minggu ke3 ramadhan, mana2 hotel yang saya kunjungi pasti dipenuhi orang.saya perlu berasak2 untuk mendapatkan makanan memandangkan pihak hotel akan menambah meja mengikut suka, termasuk di kawasan lalu lalang dan didepan lif!tidak cukup dengan itu,saya perlu beratur di setiap gerai utk mendapatkan makanan tertentu.akhirnya,saya kenyang hidu asap ;p pihak hotel juga tidak merefill makanan yang telah habis walaupun bilangan pelanggan yang datang lebih ramai daripada biasa. saya kira ini adalah tidak adil kerana bayaran satu kepala tetap sama.namun pihak hotel menjeopardize keselesaan dan juga kepuasan hati pelanggan.ada rakan saya berpendapat zaman sekarang ni makan di hotel bukanlah sesuatu yang dianggap mewah kerana sudah ramai yang mampu.mungkin juga itu antara sebab mengapa bufet di hotel2 sentiasa penuh.oh dan biasanya saya dan rakan akan berbuka dengan kurma/air,solat maghrib kemudian baru sambung dengan melantak makanan berat.

rumah bersama keluarga
pilihan ini masih yang terbaik.tiada tandingan.biarpun tak cukup korum,namun berbuka bersama keluarga tersayang tetap pilihan saya yang utama*wink*

walau dimana pun kita berbuka dan bagaimana kita merungut tentang juadah ataupun suasana berbuka, kita mesti ingat yang masih ramai lagi di luar sana yang mungkin berkira2 utk membeli juadah berbuka.atau mungkin hanya berbuka dengan air paip.atau berkongsi sepinggan nasi putih dan ikan masin utk 8 beranak.
ramadhan sepatutnya mengajar kita menjadi insan yang lebih bersyukur.peringatan utk diri saya.huhu.oh ya, jangan lupa bayar zakat kerana itu juga adalah sebahagian dari rukun islam yang 5 🙂

inshaallah…

p/s : minyak turun lagi 10sen..syukur..keep it down bebeh
p/p/s : ada sape2 dah jumpa lailatulqadr?huhu…harapnya belum lagi :

tentang merdeka

sejak pilihanraya mac lalu, saya lebih gemar tonton berita di saluran tv singapura berbanding berita di saluran tv tempatan.termasuk untuk keputusan hari ini.di buletin utama-kata nak umum keputusan-tapi cerita pasal rusuhan sana sini di tempat pengundian.sampai ke sudah tiada pengumuman.motif tidak umum?!

jadi saya bertukar ke saluran tv singapura.lebih elok mata memandang.lebih sedap telinga mendengar.bilik berita ada menjemput prof dari universiti singapura untuk berbincang mengenai pilihanraya kecil ini.ada slot 15 minit khusus untuk keputusan pilihanraya.

saya tidak faham.saya keliru dengan media tempatan.drama politik semakin menjadi.berita sudah tidak boleh harap reliable lagi.setiap hari ada berita sensasi.media sudah seperti novel yang penuh dengan drama pelbagai watak.ada pelakon pegang byk watak.ada pelakon muncul secara tiba-tiba dan terus menjadi popular.dan byk lagi-anda faham maksud saya.

apa nak jadi ni..*sobs*

apapun,saya sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan malaysia.kurang seminggu kita bakal menyambut ulangtahun kemerdekaan ke-51.doa saya supaya malaysia tercinta terus AMAN, MAKMUR dan MERDEKA DARI KUASA JAHAT…amiiin

*pissed off*

mistake,again?!

i’m still on leave.i received phonecalls from site early this morning.their calls always make me awake and not able to continue my sleeps.this morning was the worst–our relays cant accept 24VDC signals given by the PMCS.i was the one who approved the design,prior to the fabrication stage.looks like we need to do major modification on the panels!duh~~

i was sat down by the phonecall.and i istighfar few times.it really really made me think-i kept on making mistakes.whyy?!tho our boss kept on saying that it is normal for us,young engineers to make mistakes but i feel so stupid rite now.

i grabbed my towel and had my shower.but my mind kept on thinking bout the call.i cant think rationally.i called my senior and asked him how to go about this..

monologue : just so u know, i have 2 seniors.2 different characters.senior A is currently with me at johor whilst senior B is at KL office. senior A will always think of solution and NEVER blame me on my mistakes.on the other hand, senior B will definitely say like, “kenapa awk tak check….” and make this look-macam-aku-ni-tak-reti-buat-keje.helloww,you are all with 7 to 8 yrs experience while i’m not even 2 yrs in this project let alone this is my first.pls spare some mercy and perhaps guide me???duh.and of course, senior A loves to guide me and make me feel good about myself however senior B more to criticising like “laa duk site pun tak tahu” kinda thing.whyyyy???

enough babbling.so obviously i called the senior that i prefer most, senior A.huhu.i just need a shoulder to cry on.oh no,i was not crying,ppl.haha.so he told me what i should do, as always and,

senior A : i think i have to call senior B and tell him about this
me : em are u sure.its weekend rite.he must be with his family or something
senior A : no i have to tell him coz later on he will scold me of not telling him

yes,of course.i’m sure i’ll receive senior B’s call this coming monday and o Allah pls give me strength… —

so about the issue, just now i sent an email to the consultant and the manufacturer on the issue.and all i can do now is pray hard that everything will be okay inshaAllah.

yes, this is piece and parcel of life.theres no bed of roses in this carier life.u face different kind of ppl.different attitude.different behaviour.cope with stress.semua org ada bahagian masing2.maybe this is mine.i cant run away from this.so just face it.thats the price i have to pay when i enter this world.goodluck to me.

oh this entry is a piece of disaster.a bit here and there.no sequence.thats how my mind works rite now.sorry peeps..

whine,not!

i have this issue rite now.i hardly spent my time at site.not like how i used to.if i normally terpacak at topside as early as 9am (early la sgt) and only go down to office during lunch and yet again to site after lunch, until 5pm.tell u the truth, this week there were days that i dun feel like wearing my PPE..

am so heartless with site work

maybe because of the slow progress.maybe because i have piles of office work to do.maybe because of too many meetings nowadays.maybe because its just so damn hot out there and i’m afraid that my skin will burnt out like ayam bakar.oops ;p

O Allah forgive me when I whine…

huhu.ow anyhow,its weird that actually i wud rather spent my time at site,facing the sunshine in my yellow jacket,wearing face mask helmet and goggle,full with sweat, tudung senget benget, than go back to klcc-badtraffic-expensivefood-wakingupearlyjusttofigureoutwhattowear.thank you very much.

alhamdulillah

so i say “ok,esok i masuk site” hehe

i’m GBP220 poorer

today i realize.maybe the rm1400+ is just not mine.Allah nak tarik rezeki itu..

just so u know, because of my careless mistake–by revealing the 3 numbers at the back of my credit card, the person tht i shud trust, the vendor, booked 4 rooms at london (suppose to be for the group.like hello,u shud’ve consult me before you book the rooms,duh) and they informed me while i was on the train,on my way to london, when i already booked a room of my own at another hotel.i asked them to do the cancellation right away.the usual hotel policy-in any case of no show,the person can be charged at full rate,so to say.

yesterday,checked my bill statement, i realized that the hotel charged me for the whole rate, GBP220 equiv to almost RM1500.means that they didnt do the cancellation.i made few phonecalls to the bank,contractor guy,vendor guy,hotel@london.this morning i send an email to the vendors.i thought this is just an easy peasy case-they’ll pay for my bills since they made the mistake,aite?

had a conv with my colleagues and they asked me to get advise from the boss as vendor might purposely did this just to make an excuse of me asking them to pay for my crdt card bills.huh!like, what will other ppl think if the vendor bank in RM1500 to my account?how does that sound?tak pasal2 kena domestic inquiry;(
so i shoot another email to the boss.asking for his advice.

having said that,i kinda made up my mind.am just gonna pay for the RM1400+.tho earlier on i was thinking of obviously-i’m-not-going-to-pay-bcoz-of-other-ppl’s-mistake,but thinking of the consequences to me later,by the organization, i would just pay for that.unless there is other solution.police report,perhaps?

my ow my…how sad i am.but come to think of it like i mentioned earlier, the RM1400+ is really not mine.maybe He’ll replace the rezeki with something more valuable, inshaAllah..

moral of the story – never ever reveal the 3 numbers at the back of your crdt card!or your password or anything tht can lead to this kinda crime (crime,huh?).my bad

its done.period.

esok cuti,finally ;p

the TRIP!;)
