No Longer Available...

...when he got engaged, I was like, "Oh, ok" - carelessly

and couldn't be bothered much that he is getting married.

But now that he is married, I was like, "What? They are serious!" LOL!

I always fancy Dato Dr Sheikh Muszaphar - Malaysian first angkasawan and for me, he is (was) one of Malaysia's most eligible bachelor. I used to have a great crush on him - still has I think! LOL!

But now, he is married!

Congratulations!

May you both live happily ever after....

*now i can cross him from my list*

=D

I Am Go For Launch!

NASA is gonna launch the last 2 remaining space shuttle mission and you can put your face in space with one of the two missions.

I heard it in the radio today and me, always been interested in space (and have no millions to spent to enroll in the space tourist program), so I said to myself, I better check this out!

If you haven't guess it already, I'm participating. I already choose shuttle STS-134 - the last shuttle to be launched in November 2010.

I still don't know how this gonna work but the way I understand it is that NASA will put my picture on one of the shuttle. Do they paste my picture on the shuttle? I have no idea but nothing can stop me from participating.

To get more information on the Face in Space program and if you are interested (like I'm fanatic about it), you can read the term and conditions at this site - Face in Space

'Romantic Tuesday Morning' and macam-macam...

Been quiet a while I didn't update my blog and what's happening. Been so buzy lately. I still have the time to do things I suppose to be doing but somehow nowdays all my free time, it's either I lazying around in my bed reading a book or sitting till my butt aches infront of the laptop/desktop playing games! I'm addicted playing games nowdays even my bestie was suprised. I mean, in all these years that she had known me (almost 11 years), she couldn't remember when I ever sat down for hours infront of the pc to play games! The only I ever sit infront the computer for hours are either when I'm logged to the net or when I'm trying to do any last minutes assignments/reports. Haha! Typical!

Anyway, now I got the time to update my blog and what's happening lately. I'm in Tutong today and as I drive, I was listening to this one deejay who said that it's a beautiful, 'romantic tuesday morning' and I couldn't help but to look throughly up to the sky and yes, it is indeed a beautiful Tuesday. Romantic? Hmmm..not sure about that coz I didn't see any sunrise and all but it sure is a beautiful, calm Tuesday. I enjoyed my long drive to this remote area.

Why yesterday not as calm as today? No! It's not because it's Monday. I don't believe in Monday blues. In my opinion, everyday is the same. It's just your attitude toward the day itself that counts. For me, everyday always start beautiful and I'm always grateful for the new day I woke up to. Why? 'Coz I'm still breathing to enjoy the day. So, I like to treat everyday as the same. But yesterday, it was super buzy at work. I don't have the time for my break, only break for the loo. As I started to skip my lunch, I didn't go anywhere during lunchhour. Just stayed in the office and tackled all the paperworks that need to be done....and logged into the net for a while to check my emails and well, surf a bit (couldn't help myself)...hehe!

By afternoon, it was quiet relaxing la. I managed to do some important calls and continued my pending paperworks. Honestly, I don't know where I got the energy but yesterday, afterwork, I changed my work attire into sports attire and played netball in the Ministry! Haha! 2 weeks rest from playing netball, all of us kindda sucks yesterday. It was fun but we just couldn't stop laughing for most of the games. Such a fun game!

Last Saturday, for the first time in my life (as far as I can remember la), I made a guy blushed! SERIOUSLY! In my line of work, eye contact is important. Truthfully, before I started this job, I was a shy lady...HONESTLY! I don't dare to stare at people's faces, apatah lagi eye contact! I managed to avoid any 'uncomfortable' eye contacts before I started working. Even my tutors always asked me so many times whether I understand a certain topic before I looked in their eyes and said 'Yes'. Anyway, back to this guy. In my opinion, he is considered a good-looking guy, fair complexion and around late 20's - early 30's. He approached me and he's collecting medications on behalf of his 79 years old grandma. Before I got the chance to check/dispense/explain all his grandma's medications, he started to speak and ask me questions, of coz la concerning his grandma's medications. He asked me questions, I answered and explained. At first I didn't noticed him blushing but as he kept on asking questions and I continued on explaining with my eyes fixed on his, I noticed that one time or another, his eyes were diverted to somewhere before it returned to my face. Well, at first I thought he is just shy or feeling uncomfortable that I looked directly at him so, I tried to divert my eyes too, once in a while. About 5 -10 minutes explaining to him, he went off with a thank you and my colleague said, "Just because he's handsome, you took your time ah" in a teasing tone. Well, I told him that I'm answering to all his questions and I can't just get rid of him like that. And my colleague said, "What did you say to him that he blushes?". And I was like, "What? He blushes? I didn't notice that! He's not furious kah?" Haha! I hope that guy didn't come across my blog and read this!

That Saturday afternoon,afterwork, I was planning to go walking and hiking but I had to cancelled coz I need to attend a meeting. Oh! Guess what? I met an old old classmate while I was walking and hiking around Tasek last last week. I met Ezra. We were in Form 4 and Form 5 together and this is the first time I met him after we finished high school. He hasn't change much. He was taking a break and sat on a bench when I passed by. He got an iPOD stuck to his ear and I was thinking, if I say Hi will he hear me. So I tried my luck and said, "Hai Ezra" and suprisingly, he looked up and smiled. We walked together and just catch up a bit la before we went our own way - me, going for my 2nd round while him, going home.

What else I'm missing? Hmmm....Last Monday, last week, I was having my off day after working during the weekend so me and my 2 brothers went to watch a movie - I'm Not Single. Malaysian, malay movie. Nice! Romantic but funny! And I think this is the 2nd movie Farid Kamil and Awal Ashari are in together. First would be the Apa Kata Hati? (also a nice movie) and now this, I'm Not Single. Don't get me wrong but I wonder what happened to all the male/female actors/actresses that were famous in the late 90's. Azhar Sulaiman, Ahmad Idham and Pierre Andre (yang I remember la) are now become directors or something - which is good. But what happened to the rest of the actors/actresses. Rarely we hear or watch any news on them.Speaking of Pierre Andre, I love his movie 9 September. It's so heart wrenching movie!

Oh yea, Majlis Ilmu come and go. I went to the Majlis Ilmu TWICE!!! just to meet Datuk Sheikh Muzhaffar - the first Malaysian angkasawan. But bukan rezeki kali, I didn't manage to meet or see him! URRRGGGGGHHHH!!! I'm so FRUSTRATED! I even asked my RBA engineer friend whether he knows when Shk Muzhaffar due to go back to Malaysia but he also couldn't get any info. I managed to buy his book 'Reaching for the Stars'; written by his late brother, Ajil. I read and finished it within an hour and ended up with fluffy eyes. It's so touching! Read it then you will know what I meant!

Anyway, it's August and fasting month will start in less than a month's time. My preparation? Hmmm....dunno yet! I think we will not be celebrating raya as merry as before coz 2 of my brothers are having their big exam this October, hence less beraya....

Chiow!

Condolence

....to the family of Malaysia Angkasawan, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar for the death of his brother, Sheikh Mustapha Al Masrie. The late Sheikh Mustapha, 32 years old passed away after fail to regain consciousness when he fell and hit a flower vase outside a restaurant last week.

May Allah bless his soul and ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman...AMIN!

Angkasawan Returns....

Alhamdulilah, around 6.45pm, October 21st, the first Malaysian angkasawan, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar returns to Earth. I remembered spending my birthday infront of the television from the afternoon until words had it that he and the other 2 Russian cosmonuts safely landed. Although it's a bit dissapointing that there is no video coverage about the landing and I couldn't see Dr Sheikh Muszaphar's expression when he landed, but it's okay! As long as he landed safely!

Presently, if I'm not mistaken, he is in Moscow, being quarantine, just to ensure that everything is okay. From what I learnt that once you went up to space, you body and mind to be 'adjusted' once you reached Earth. Well, it's a long science and psychology involved here and I'm not that good with both, so I guess I just leave it at there.

Congralts Dr Sheikh! You proved it that Malaysia can do it! Representing Malaysia, you represent Asean....Don't you just proud be an Aseanan - if there is such a word! Haha! Gezz, I'm sounding like a Malaysian already!

10th October...

It's when the first Malaysian angkasawan will be going to space. Couldn't wait!

Previously I mentioned that Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be the first Malaysian angkasawan to go to space but I read in the net that changes can be made last minute.

The 2 Malaysian angkasawan are Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 35, a lecturer in HUKM and Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed, 27, an army officer and a dentist. If everything goes as planned and no changes being made, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be boarding the Soyuz 15-S with Russian fellow, Yuri Malenchenko and American Peggy Whitson while Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed will go with the second team along with Russian Shari-Zan Sharipov and American Michael Fincke. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will be the first Muslim to perform solat onboard the International Space Station (ISS). As a Muslim fellow, I'm kinda proud of him....Good Luck guys! Can't wait for the launch....
