  { is reading Hearts of the matter by Emily Giffin}
*watch movie / TV Show
{ got suck into Roswell world--- oooo  I missed this show}
*shopping 
{ did some light shopping today}
*redecorate my room
{ hang a few wall deco}
*exercise
{ it’s my daily goal at the moment}

Jalan TAR on Monday

It has been the a while since the last time i went here. Wow! So many cars and it's not even weekend!

20th Ramadhan, freebies and more

Today I got a chance to installed Bamboo Fun on my computer and I am having so much fun playing around with it.  I’ve asked my son to draw a word art for me ( he is the artist in the house … heheheh) using the Bamboo Fun. He was so excited to try. So I’m making a freebies word art for you today. This is a layout I made using the word art.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
random things at the moment
* it’s the 20th Ramadhan already
* still haven’t any Id Mubarak related shopping
* taking the day off from work
* feeling happy , creative and content
* not ready for this month to be over
* tomorrow is our Independence day (31st August 2010)

20th Ramadhan, day off and things to do

I've found this amazing word art at this blog. It's the perfect word for me today cause I am taking the day off from work today. Including tomorrow that is 5 days off from work. I feel so refresh and happy that I don’t have to face work related problem. I don’t know why lately I don’t really enjoy that part of my life anymore. Something need to change.

It’s 20th Ramadhan today and it’s the last 10 days remains. I am a bit sad to see this month go. I love Ramadhan and everything about it.
I plan to do some shopping today. But somehow I don’t really feel excited about it. It is just something I have to do and it’s really a drag. I rather stay at home rather than facing the horrific traffic and the heat outside. I really need to adjust my attitude just to make sure that I didn’t ruin anything.

something soft and sweet

Last week I bought this kit from Gottapixel store. It is from Captivated Vision is called Field of Dreams. It's currenlty 30% off at Gottapixels Store. I like the soft and sweet color in this kit.

the girl with the dragon tattoo

Finally I finished this book after so many months.

* this is the first time I read a book by this author
* it’s very hard for me to adapt to his writing style. He kept changing between first name and last name making me hard to follow the story
* it’s realy dark and twisted story
* took a while to pick up

This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan--- from amazon.com

5 things I love about my job: 2010 version

Sometimes it's very hard to appreciate your job when you are so stress out on a daily basis. I think about quitting all the time. I just have to force myself to see why I love my job in the first place.

#1) what I do help other’s to do their job better
#2) evolving with the new technology in the market
#3) i have my own room to do my job
#4) see how the organization grow with ICT is very satisfying
#5) unlimited internet access 24/7

I wish real life could be like Photoshop!

I’ve been an Adobe Photoshop user since version 5. It was a long time ago before they introduce Creative Suite. So many have changed and I’m still in love with it. I use this software almost daily. Sometimes I just wish life could be more like in Photoshop. Here are a few reasons why…..

#1) Duplicate layer
   - If I have to make the same thing more than once, than I just have to duplicate it. No more making the same thing twice
#2) Record action
  - Being able to recod an action once and have the ability to run them anytime I need the same job done would be a blast. example : laundry, cooking and driving..
#3)  Healing Bursh
- how I wish I could just erase all my wrinkles away with this magic brush. hehehe

#4) Hue/Saturation
-- changing color easily would be handy when it comes to my outfit. Can easily change color to fit my mood
#5) Selection tools
-- easily remove things I don’t need from my view

when the devil wears PRADA

“In New York, the simple and naive just-graduated in journalism Andrea Sachs is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly, the ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine. Andrea dreams to become a journalist and faces the opportunity as a temporary professional challenge. The first assistant Emily advises Andrea about the behavior and preferences of their cruel boss, and the stylist Nigel helps Andrea to dress more adequately for the environment. Andrea changes her attitude and behavior, affecting her private life and the relationship with her boyfriend Nate, her family and friends. In the end, Andrea learns that life is made of choices”. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil  taken from Internet Movie database website

Actually my intention wasn’t to write a review of this 2006 movie. I stumble upon this image while ‘bing’ Anne Hathaway. Somehow this photo reminded me the trouble and the sacrifice you have to make while working with a boss like Miranda Priestly. Asking for the impossible like the Harry Potter manuscript when the book is not published yet! It makes me feel lucky that I don’t have to face that kind of situation daily. This makes you look at things differently. So every time I feel like I had it tough I just thought of Miranda Priestly and I feel so much better! hehehe….

* morning assembly this morning with our top management
* everybody got one national flag
* very simple and sweet—finished around 9:15
* it’s very hard to feel patriotic when all you can think about is Ramadhan
* Money is going to be an issue this year—suddenly $10 is the new $5 and $1 is the new 10cent.
* 1 Malaysia menjana transformasi is the slogan for this year
