Yes I talk to strangers about the wedding industry

One day, i was queuing to renew my lost passport. (darn, don't let me start on that. tears will flow. seriously)
Anyway. i was queuing and in front of me is this pakcik with his daughter about my age.
She seems sweet.
She was holding a bridal magazine so i sebok2 and commented on how amazing the dress was.
We talked for a while.

And then her Ayah tiba2 join the conversation asking me..
"Awak bila pulak?"
"Lama lagi pakcik, boyfriend saya pun saya belum kenal lagi". (gila lawak bodo rasa nak sepak diri sendiri)

Then the pakcik went on and on about the belanja he is about to spend on her daughter's wedding. Bla bla.

He reminded me of my dad.

And how he have 5 children yet to be married.

After the pakcik left, I beginning to plan (yes,i am addicted to planning and executing plans).

My wedding would be small. Max 300 important people, not all 600plus plus of my facebook contacts who thought Aishahana is my real name.

I have like 6 hand-me-downs expensive wedding gowns with only alterations needed (i demand Intan do all the alterations so its free!)

Family-friends amateur photographer and videographer. I have few names in mind.

No outdoor photoshoot.

Ya thats all.

Oh did i leave the groom out of all the planning?

Hmm. I knew something missing.

Darn.

Things to write about

1. Funnyyy..funny office politics
2. Dear Office politics
3. Dude, what is actually inside your head?
4. I hate office politics
5. I really hate office politics.
6. What ever, its time to relocate myself anyway.
7. Good Business, but the management SUCKS.

I am an aspiring writer. Haha

Argh. I need want a Macbook Pro.

Who died? and made you king of anything.

It is so freakingly upsetting and annoying when people trying to control other people's life. Tak kisah la direct ke, indirect ke. Yang direct tu ok lagi. Like, your boss ke kan. Maybe on the 9-5 basis it is acceptable. Tapi kalau indirectly memang psiko la. Nak control ape kes beb? kesian nye life orang yang begitu skali. Work and money is not everything, babe. Never is, never will be.  

It never happen to me though. No freaking way.

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

Let me hold your crown, babe.

Oh Finally!

I spend all day today cleaning and organizing my messy room. Been planning to do this since spring, now its already winter. Nooo time lah. (alasan)

Anyways, hari ni saya berjaya. Tiada lagi baju di lantai, bawah katil, tepi katil, atas katil atau disumbat2 disetiap penjuru.

The good thing is, i found soooo many things i forgot i have. Ada baju and jeans yang belum pakai pun. Ceh.

Ok, lepas ni saya berjanji akan jadi lebih perempuan dan selalu mengemas bilik.

Memasak? errr. one thing at a time.

New bedding. Got rid of the comforter. I dont use aircond that often pun. Nenek visit dia cakap, buat ape pasang aircond pastu selimut tebal-tebal. Hmm. make sense.

Baju-baju disusun ikut jenis. Office wear, dresses, baju kurung, etc. Tapi hanger zaman dulu punye je ade. Yang besi2. Recycle sudey. Selagi bole gantung.

I have so many lipsticks in different hand bags. Sampai lupa, then get a new one. Darn. I wont buy anymore make ups until 2013. Serious shit.

My favourite part. Dah ade hanger shawl kenapa la tak guna. My shawls used to be all over the house. Note to my dear sisters: Lepas pakai, letak la balik kat sini ye.

Handbags. Hmm.

Some of my shoes nicely put on its shelf. Not in the car anymore!!!

The Maxis people called!

No. Not for the job!

But for my iPhone 4, ready for collection. Yeah.

Now my iPad dah ade kawan.

Haha.

On empowerment.

Ok, i am not a CEO. Probably not going to be, as it is not in my domain of interest. Whatever.

But i believe im a born leader. I can initiate, plan things, make decisions, execute, see results then give feedbacks. Half of the people i know cannot do those things, or maybe they can, they prefer not to. But thats not an issue. A good leader can also be a follower, as long as the people they suppose to follow MAKE SENSE to them.

When i first started working, my mentor told me to remember 2 rules. Which are:

1.    Your boss is always right

2.    If your boss is wrong, refer to number one.

Hmm. Ok.

But (my generation and) I beg to differ.

We should stop using the rules. Here, i propose a new one.

1.    Your boss is always right

2.    If your boss is wrong, try to correct him. But make sure you’ve done all your research and prepare well. Dont do it alone, Do it in groups of trusting people.

3.    If your boss still thinks he is right, take out that resignation letter and RESIGNED.

If you are an intelligent and resourceful worker, know your value. Do not stay in a company that does not appreciate your existance.

Most successful companies encourage employees to make decisions, providing an environment of open communication and acceptance of new ideas. That is EMPOWERMENT.

You dont have to be in C-level, to be in control.  If you are in such condition, that is soooo SAD. Refer to my third rule. There are thousands of other companies out there that might suit you. REALLY.
