Walimatul Urus....

Jangan terkejut...it wasn't my Walima...hehehe

Today, Intan Herlina Hj Kamaruddin weds Ahmad Ridzwan in surau Taman Sri Watan, Ampang. Congratulations to both of them.

The food is prepared by the bride's father himself, Hj Kamarauddin, known as PakDidik among us AnakPerlis.

We, AnakPerlis were giving hands to PakDidik and family. Since last nite we were at his house to help for the food preparations. (Besa la...AnakPerlih ni selalu akan tlg bab penyediaan makanan jerk)

The preparation was in Surau Taman Sri Watan and we were there since 8pm. Then we proceed to his house nearby and having Laksa,kopi o,kuih karas,pulut kucai and few Perlis kueh. Sedap wooo....laksa PakDidik...we left around 12.30.

I woke up this morning at 4.15am to go and give my hands to PakDidik on the food preparation.He prefers cooking in the morning so that the foods are frsh from the kitchen.

I arrived around 5am and started helping him fried chickens, cutting veges for Dalca and then the final menu was Daging Dendeng berlado. I managed to learn alot from him today..tak sia2 la mangkit awai pi tlg dia masak...tq PakDidik..

Looking at him reminds me on someone whom i missed alot since past 10 years. He looks like my Abah.....abah....i miss u so much...dh lama x mimpi... :((

Topic of the day...Novation

As per FREE DICTIONARY, Novation means "substitution of the new obligation for an old one" or Novation is "the replacement of one obligation by another by mutual agreement of both parties; usually the replacement of one of the original parties to a contract with the consent of the remaining party"

However, the WIKIPEDIA have more details on Novation. Wikipedia states Novation is a term used in contract law and business law to describe the act of either replacing an obligation to perform with a new obligation, or replacing a party to an agreement with a new party. In contrast to an Assignment , a Novation must be agreed upon by all the parties to the original agreement . The obligee, the person receiving the benefit of the bargain, must only be given notice. The obligor, the party making the novation, must only make the new obligor aware and receive consent from the new obligor. A contract transferred by the novation process transfers all duties and obligations from the original obligor to the new obligor.

For example, if I had a contract with you to cut my lawn and if John had a contract with me to cut his lawn, we could novate both contracts and replace it with a single contract wherein you agree to cut John's lawn. Contrary to assignment, novation requires the consent of all parties. Consideration is still required for the new contract but it is usually assumed to be the discharge of the former contract.

The criteria for a successful Novation are: the complete acceptance of the liability by the new debtor, the acceptance of the new debtor by the creditor, and the acceptance by the outgoing creditor of the new contract as full performance of the old contract.

Novation is also used in futures/options trading markets to describe a special situation where the clearing house takes all positions with all the brokers, buying all the brokers sell, and selling all that the brokers buy.

In business, Novation is typically the process by which a newly formed corporation assumes the pre-incorporation liabilities incurred by its founders. Novation is also used in transactions through electronic exchanges.

Being in the largest plantations company in the world required me to learn new things everyday. Besides, Value Management and Investor Relations, i am also required to assist the Capital Management team to prepare all the documentations needed prior to the merger. One of the documents are the Novation Agreements. I've been thinking what is it all about as i never know what the Novation Agreements are. As far as i'm concerned the Novation Agreement is between the company and the Banks (in our case) and to be submitted to the lawyers to make necessary arrangements.

Haaa........now i know why do we need this Novation. Means we do not required to enter in to a new agreement / contract as if we would like to apply for new banking facilities, i will takes a lot of times and requires a lot of documentations and paperwork. Novation only change the tittle whereas the other terms and conditions remains i.e in our case changes of Company name and authorised signatories.

Ring....Ring...

It should be read as RINGS (2 rings) actually....hehehe..... Last saturday i attended my uncle (my mom's cousin) funtion. His 2nd daughter's wedding. It was held in Dewan MPAJ in Pandan Indah. The wedding dias (pelamin) was wonderful with fresh flowers...adduuiiii....teringin cek....ehehehe...

At 12.45 i rushed to Hotel Maluri for a pre-incorporated cooperative meeting. As one of the committee, i have to attend this and helping them to organize this function. The meeting ended around 4 and they have some tea break.

I left only after half past six as the bosses wanted to have a meeting with some of us and rushed to Kelana Jaya to fetch my soon-to-be hubby as i wanted him to accompany me for some shopping in Jalan TAR (ni kes malas nk naik lrt...mcm2 plak alasan dia...menyampah ;) ).

I only arrived Kelana Jaya immediately after Maghrib Azan was recited. We went for prayer and shoot to Jalan TAR. We only arrived quarter past eight and parked our car in SOGO (i wish we just boarded Putra LRT instead, tp besa la...merka cek malas nk naik public transport...). When we reached there, all crafts shops were closed...geramnyerrrr.......so i only managed to get 2 baskets for pot pouri and chocolates....huhuhuh.......

Then i was "merajuk" all the way back to SOGO...(salah sendiri la..sapa suruh lambat...kuang..kuang..kuang..) and i saw this pinky theme in the middle of the concourse area...The Estee Lauder sale/promo is back!!!!!!!! I tried the Pleasures Delight but not as good as Exotic.I used to wear Intense before and considering Exotic soon ;)

We are about to leave when i walked near to the jewellers shop inside the SOGO, i just look at the display shelf. Actually for the past few weeks we always dropped by to the jewellers but none of them satisfy both of us as we are quite fussy and choosy..hehehe.....Then i said " shall we go in and look at those rings? " and he walked in, i know that he agreed with it....no paksa2 like sometimes i used to. We sat and saw a few rings as i always wanted just simple plain gold ring then i found a very simple yet modern kinda ring and it suits me well....waaaaahhhhhh.......bagai pinang dengan tampuknya...(perasannnnnn....hahahaha). Both of us agreed with it although it is quite heavy (rega mas mehai la nih...huhuhuhu). Then he offerred me.."take another one"..hah...pucuk dicita ulam mendatang...so i pick the other one but a bit smaller and lighter. Hati pun berbunga2 la...apalagi....hehehe....then we drove back home.

I asked him to keep both rings as i'm afraid if i keep those rings i will keep trying n trying and trying (silap2 blh rayan) till the engagement which i will need to wear it forever...

Moral of the story......simpan cincin anda ditempat yg selamat...kalo dak asyik menerai ja....hehehehe

I need a break...

I am so tired of the peoples around me who don't understand me or pretend that they understand nothing!!!!!

I was so busy for the past few weeks and unable to meet for lunch or coffee or even greet them online, offline, or other places that we usually meet. They mentioned that i ignored them. Adoooiiiiiiii.........

I am so focused if i am assigned to do something. From the past few weeks i am involved in preparing everything for few events. It started with the Analysts and Fund Managers briefing prior to the listing till yesterday's launching.This is the most important event in our history. The new identity of the biggest plantation company in the world with market capitalisation will be more than RM60million is to be revealed.

Everything goes fine for both events. Eventhough i am so tired and my legs hurt. I can't keep smiling and entertaining our guests. Giving hands here and there as well as assisting them so that the event run smoothly. The briefing was great as i was leading the event. It was my biggest achievement this year. I am so glad that my boss was so impressed with my work. Perhaps i'll get promoted or better increment next year ;) They launching was fascinating. They begin with opening gambit of the drum show then the speech by the PM, our Chairman and ended with 3D show as well as new tv commercial of our new renamed branding. Congratulations to all.....

I wonder why these peoples do not understand. Why must they argue as i never argue when they are busy. Luckily my dearie-soon-to-be-hubby never complaint during these busy and hectic period. He is always there when i need him. I am so thankful to have him in my life eventhough we have some tiny little messy thingy (biasa la kan..sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit).

I am so tired with this...i need to go for a break...but where to????

Cerita Bertunang Lagi...

In Islam, a marrige is valid only these conditions are fulfilled :
1. Groom (pegantin lelaki)
2. Bride (pengantin perempuan)
3. Wali
4. 2 witness (Only men)
5. Aqad (Marriage contract)

Every women who are getting married, there will be a Wali or marriage guardian who is male next of kin to the bride.All of them must be from father's side.

Being an orphan is not as easy as whom their parents are still alive. I've been doing most of the things alone since past 10 years after my father passed away. Luckily i am an independent type of person...kalo dak saheh xleh survive.

When my father died, my Wali (marriage guardian) will be :

My younger brother
My Pakngah (My father's elder brother)
My Pakchak (My father's younger brother)
My Paktam (My father's younger brother)
My Pakndak (My father's youngest brother)

As i am getting engaged next month, my mom told me to talk to my Pakngah and get his consent about the engagement but i asked my mom to talk to him instead (apa punya anak dara laaa...). We keep delaying our plan to meet Pakngah as both of us busy for work and few other things. Yesterday we met him around 12.30 noon at his place. So we talked about the Mahr etc and he will try to go back and represent our family on the day or else Pakchak has to be there.

He suggested that the wedding (Walima) on our side being held at Tokwan's house in Taman Berjaya Alor Star but i'm afraid that my mom won't agree so the wedding will be in Arau on my side. Pakngah also suggested the other function will be held in KL for special guests as most of my uncles and aunties (my father's cousins) are here. And i said if he wants to sponsor my wedding then should be okay (lari la bajet kalo wat kt KL nih) and he mentioned about Dr Afifuddin's Restaurant in Damansara Perdana...hehehe.....we don't mind anyway.....janji free....ahaks.........

I called my mom to inform her about this as i believe Pakngah already talk to my mom on everything. Legaaa.....so now all family affairs are settled and i need to prepare for the hantaran thingy as well as other things...

About the makan2 during my engagement, let my mom decide.I miss my grandma as i haven't talked to her for weeks now. I hardly call her at home as she can't really hear the phone ring. When i called my mom at nite she must be sleeping. I need to talk to her a few words as i was dreaming about her last nite ( ni kes homesick la nih)

Kereta untukku

Actually it should be read as "What Sports Car are you?". I am so tired now and waiting for my dearie soon to be my hubby to come and fetch me at work. Bukan apa...x larat nk naik lrt plak hr ni...sekali sekala nk bermanja...hehehehe.....

So i browse a few blog site belongs to my fren. Sekali tertekan sapa tah punya blog n this kinda quiz appear. So i answered the questions and this is the result....

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.



Blh thn gak...hehehe....but i was just for fun anyway...i don't like sports car....i prefer big n cozy type of car which suit my chomel size hehehe....but i prefer TOYOTA anyway.....

What in my mind now...

I only realised that i only have 39 days i.e 5-6 weeks before my engagement...alamakkkkkkk!!!! do i hv enough time to prepare for everything? Besides i have few things to do during November n December.

Luckily i have send my baju n tudung n veil for my fren to do the finishing part which is sewing the beads on it...siap 1 hal...

I called the mak andam for make up and will meet her next week when i go back to my home town

My bestfren, Wan will lend me her dulang n alas for hantaran. I just need 5 of them.

What else? owhh.........i made a booking for the cake from Kak Nina weeks ago n mentioned to her on the decorations i wanted to have.

I browse few websites i know (ni time xdak keja menimbun) and i found a very interesting theme. EXOTIC NATURE....got some birds in nests, butterfly,flowers n fruits....so i'm going back next week n look for these items in the border...i hope i can get lilies too as i love lilies (cam bunga org mati plak..but i like lorr...)

Rings....i told him that i wanted 2 rings for the engagement, 1 for merisik n 1 for bertunang....unfortunately he said all must be YELLOW GOLD...no White Gold....but i ask for PLATINUM instead...hahahaha....jahatnyer akuuu.......xper la....YELLOW pun YELLOW la as long as both of us are happy...takkan la sorg nk senyum sorg nk muncung plak kan?

I always wanted a simple design of ring and this time for our engagement i want a plain ring to match with another ring which i hope it will be a diamond on it. Bila nk beli? Early of december perhaps...let me finish the hantaran thingy 1st. So where am i this saturday? Pasar Malam Jln TAR la kot....

Shoes

This morning i left home early around 7.30.In front of my aprtment (should i say flat??) door i realize i only have a pair of Scholl sandal to work. Actually i have :

1. 3 ankle length boots in black,dark blue n brown
2. 1 pair of Scholl 1 inch heel sandal
3. 1 pair of Clarks sandal for outing

Alahaiii.......banyak ni jer? I used to wear stilettos but recently i hardly wear that kind of footwear as i put on a lot of weight. If i wear those stilettos now i may have a backache and both of my feet my be painful which may cause me alot of troubles if i walk. I wonder what should i do...i need a new pair of sandal which i can use to work or outing.

I went to Sogo last week and i saw a really nice looking sandal at Scholl.It is a pump which the sole made from wood...kira ala2 kasut kayu la..it was so good and it cost only RM100...really crazy for it. Unfortunately, that was the last pair and it was in size 7. I am in size 9..huhuhuhu...mana nk cari lg?????? The following day i went to KLCC and looking for Scholl as well..unfortunately there were no the 1 which i looking for...frustnyerrr.....kat mana lg nk cari tah la...

I really hope that Clarks sale will be just around the corner but it has still no news about it...arrggghhhhhhhh...............dying for a new shoes.....!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the time....

I was waiting for so long to hear from him telling my mom that we are getting engaged. It happened last nite..unfortunately i was not there to witness the moment.

My mom arrived from Kuching yesterday afternoon. She went there last week for a trip kinda thing (lawatan sambil belajar ke apakebendatah...sumer makcik2 belaka).Today they will be attending UMNO meeting in PWTC.

As she arrived in the afternoon, we have to reschedule our plan to visit Qismina Najwa in HTAR, Klang. Luckily i have to go and fetch her in front of The Legend and sent her back home as she wanted to rest from a long trip.

Then we go straight to HTAR and visit Najwa.She was admitted last week due to Cellucitis, a skin infections.

We arrived home around 9 and fetched mom for dinner. So sorry....malas nk masak...hehehe...We had rice,tomyam,vege n other few things. At first i advised him to talk to my mom about our engagement thingy n he agreed. I was waiting till we finished eating but still he hasn't say any words on it. Then i dropped by to get some groceries as they were waiting in the car. When i returned i heard him asking how many rings should he bring....alamaaaakkkkkk.!!!!! terlepas la that moment...huhuhuh....i wanted to witnessed on my own but tak sempat....huhuhuhu.......

He mentioned that the wedding might need to be earlier as his brother planning to wed in July next year.Adoiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! y do i need to sacrifice my plan for other people? Asyik nk kena bg laluan ke pihak penaja ja.Take turn la..We planned to wed in mid of May next year but he mentioned that it may be brought forward to March...jgn clash ngn Tijah Manja dah la...sure makcik tu muncung plak...

Until today, i realised that i haven't do anything yet for my wedding.Alamakkkk.....sempat ker nih?????? The hantaran for bertunang pun tak prepare lg...huhuhuhu......where should i start??????

FlowerHorn...ohh...FlowerHorn

I would like to share a story today. It is not about the fish called flowerhorn, it is about a person whom i called flowerhorn. She is an executive in my dept. Always wearing short skirts,dress etc. I don't care whatever she wears. But she always commenting on what other peoples wear especially me n Kak Sabariah, the other secretary in the office.

I called her flowerhorn because there was a day which she wore blouse with stripes pint on it with variety mix of colors as well as blue short skirt.The day before she said that i wore a very colorful kebaya.It was only mixture of fushia n green. Takde la terang bederang sgt pun. Dia sorg2 ja perasan lebih. From that day i called her using that name.Secret code la kiranya tuh.

Today we are having an open house for corporate clients. So all of us in the department have to attend n be the penyambut tetamu throughout the event.So all of muslims staffs needs to wear bj kurung..of course la kan...dh nama pun open hse raya.

I wear bj kurung moden which i called bj Rafidah Aziz as our MITI Minister love to wear that kind of baju. This time green color...biggest plantations co in the world.Kena green lebih la...hehehe...

Back to flowerhorn's story. She walk with that cahrlie chaplin and passing by my cubicle n suddenly said..."i look like kampung wearing this baju kurung"..eeeeeeeee....please laaaa.......dah melayu tu toksah la dok perasan lebih2...engkau tu lg itam dr aku...kot aku ni yg ala2 amoi mata sepet lain la kalo nk kata camtu...hmm..entah la...manusia ni pelik gak aku...yg dia dok tayang2 peha tu tak plak rasa cam murahan

Cerita Sabtu Lepas...

I attended raya open house by my best fren since we were 13 in her villa located in Kajang. We were there almost 7.00pm due to heavy traffic. Cuti2 pun jln jem...pelik btoi la.

There were her siblings and in laws as well as our fren Tijah Manja and her fiance' for just a week ago, Judin Debab. Judin that time was smoking outside the villa. In front of the gate. I greet him so do my Love, besa la...my Love ni berbudi bahasa sket.

Suddenly this Judin loudly said that "Aku nampak hang haritu depan rumah pakai suar pendek"..adussssssss..malunya cek.He was referring to the day they were engaged, 3rd day of Syawal. The day before, my house and the whole area of my kampung affected by flood and the water flows only the day after leaving with dirts and muds. So my brother and i had to clean the house as my mom has to take care of our gandmother. She was admitted the day before as she slipped on the floor and had a heart attack due to the fall.Luckily no fractured or serious injury, only bruises on her hands and she admitted on the next afternoon i.e 3rd day of Syawal.

I told Tijah that i was unable to attend her engagement early due to the chaos in our house. I can only be there late in the afternoon and i hope she understands as she sounds she understand about it. I reach her house around 4 which everybody were left the ceremony.

Back to Judin's words. I denied it in front of my love. I told Judin that i was wearing an old jeans which i have to fold up to my knee length as i need to clean the house. Takkan la berair2 kt rumah tu nk biaq seluar meleret2 kot.Paham2 laaa.......i just ignored it and entered our fren's villa. Tijah was inside enjoying her food. As we were talking Judin entered the house and again he mentioned the same thing and i kept denying and mentioned it was a pair of old jeans. Not short. I wonder why he kept saying it....was he trying to humiliate me in front of my future husband n my other frens???????????

Intro....

This is the first time after a year i quit writing a blog. Still thinking where should i start and how should i start...

A brief details of me. Age 28. Working with a Malaysian Conglomerate in Kuala Lumpur and an accounting diploma holder. I've been working since 2003 and had experiences in accounting,treasury and investor relations. Not forget to mentioned i am a PA too. ;)

Still looking for the best school to pursue my study. I am thinking of CIMA or ACCA or MICPA. But haven't decided yet. Still considering. If i can obtained a full board scholarship i will take a study leave and study full time. If don't, i have to sacrifice a lot for it
