All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy

Since we were little kids, in kindy, teacher will always ask the question,

"What is your ambition?"

Then all the kids will shout out very eagerly,

"I wanna be a doctor!"

"A Pilot!"

"I want to be Superman!"

"Sailormoon!" 

Oh yeah and i remember one kid who wanted to become 

Ronald McDonald...hahah funny kid

though i always hated CLOWNS!

Well, as they say kids do say the darnest things,

we only say those things because it seemed like the BEST JOB in the world

we see it through role models around us,

our parents or other adults, TV shows, cartoons, oh and in the case of that McDonald kid - our favourite food place.

But look at urself now,

have u become what u say u wanted to when u were a child?

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah, i've finally completed by Bachelor's Degree in Accountancy at UiTM.

Alhamdulillah, i passed all the papers in Semester 8. 

Alhamdulillah, i got my final Dean's List Award. 

Alhamdulillah, i already being employed starting next week.

Alhamdulillah, it is exactly the kind of place i hoped to work in.

It all still feels like a dream to me. Just hope i can stay strong and cope with the work there. Insya Allah amin~ :)

Things To Do In An Interview

8 Feb 2013 (Tuesday)


Alhamdulillah..
Today was my 1st REAL interview in a company somewhere in Bandar Utama. 
Applying for a job as an Accounting Analyst Trainee.
"Dahsyat gila" was the only word that came out of my mouth as i walk back down to my car recalling the interview session. 

The morning was very busy, crazy traffic!
It took an hour and a half to get to BU, but alhamdulillah i made it on time.
At the LDP tol from Puchong-Damansara i mistakenly went into the wrong lane! 
Instead of the TnG i drove to the SmartTag lane..! Tiba2 berdebar, rasa nak terkucil..huhu

The drive in LDP was horrific! But the road to the builiding was quite ok, not so much jam.

I got just in time about 15 minutes early and the receptionist gave me a couple of forms to fill in.
One of it was the standard resume style form and the other was a questionnaire regarding the post i was applying for - Accounting Analyst Trainee.
So basically the questions would go like this:

All Grown Up

Such a boring Thursday evening!

It's the FINAL SEMESTER and exams are coming..NEXT WEEK!

Yes..we celebrate our new years with exams..Yay! Can't wait =_= 

The SLOTH within me is itching to surface and procrastinate even more!

Many things have come and gone during my studies here in Melaka..

I've made New friends, Lost some friends, and Started afresh with current friends

Only 1/3 of my life checklist is done..still so many things to see and do..

One day nenek came up to me and asked,

"Lisa, lisa sudah ada boyfriend?"

Melompat Lebih Tinggi! aka End of Internship

YAY!!

It's the end of the internship period!!

Rasa macam sekejap je masa berlalu,

masa baru masuk praktikal rasa tak sabar nak habis

tak terasa pun macam da tamat waktu,

macam2 dah lisa lalui waktu praktikal ni,

pahit manis, stress sampai nak gila, seronok dan sedih  

semua dah dapat dirasai sepanjang praktikal ni..

Of Taxes, Papers and Stuff

INCOME TAX

Two words when combined together shakes the very core of 

every Malaysian i've known.

(i have yet to see people who are really excited to pay Taxes)

These past few weeks have been really hectic, preparing tax computations and filling in Tax forms of the clients in the firm i'm working (actually just an intern) in.

Being Considerate: 3 Magic Words

from google~

"I am SORRY"

"Could you PLEASE help me with these?"

"THANK YOU"

See how those 3 different words make such positive n calm effect not just to you,

but also to the one using them..It gives the sense of humbleness (merendah diri as we say in Malay), of respect for one another.

Respect is important in a relationship, be it with friends or family.

It is with this people appreciate u more, and treat u with the same respect that u deserve.

Fixed on Fiction

le FIXI books

Here i am once again, fixed on my reading gig!
Though i am quite surprised that i managed to finish reading 3 'Malay language' books within 2 weeks! (eh, btl ke 2 weeks? btl la kot)


I say Malay language instead of Novel..because unlike the normal cliche Novel 
(cintan cintun dan islamic love and forbidden love..well basically LOVE sells eh!) u see in bookstores,
these books, published by FIXI are specially reserved for people who r kinda into pulp fiction..most of these writers are bloggers who are trying to bring out fresh ideas in writing..which is a breath of fresh air for someone like me!


p/s Search PULP then u'll get the gist eyh :) 

Le Number 23

This year i'll be 23 years old.

I know! How time goes by, i didn't think that being 23 would feel like this!

They say age is just a number.

However some who don't know me say that

i look like a 20 year old 

(haha..perasan muda kan ;p)

Maybe because i act like it?

alyzv~hoping i'll be able to act my age once in a while.

First Day into Internship

Place : Yusof Suffian @ Bangi
Date  : 26th January 2012


Here it is my personal 'Log Book' where i can seem to share almost everything that happened in A Day of An Intern.

Excited as i should be for my First Day into Internship, my parents+brother+grandma seemed all the more excited.
And my body clock is still trying to adjust to waking up early and not sleeping for the rest of the day (i know, lazy me!)

Movie Marathon Jan 2012

It was his first time in Melaka

and i couldn't think of any other place to go to..

Jonker Walk...too crowded!

Dataran Pahlawan/Mahkota Parade...too tiring!

Marina Bay...too many rempits!

So we just decided to watch UNDERWORLD 4 @ GSC JJ! 

*yay! ^^,

Stress Free

just gotta face it~

Now i'm in the heat of stress,

Finals is just around the corner!

During the FAR 450 test

I had this strange urge to give up and just drop my pen away.

I felt nauseous just looking at the Question Paper,

bored that i have to accomplish the task of answering the same old questions 

over and over again.

But then i just pushed myself to do it...

It's just that i'm all drained out of positive juice.

I felt unlike myself, i felt dead.

And i hated it.

My Grandma is My Little Sister

Having one little Grandma is like having my own little Sister. And i hate little sisters.  

(the fact that i have only a little brother)

I never liked little sisters. The way they always try to annoy you. Sticking to you like glue and never gets the clue that you need to be alone. She always seems to pop-up out of nowhere! At most times, when we don't need them to.

Although yes, i don't have one, i can still imagine having one.

However i still respect my Grandma. She was the one that liked to pamper me with gifts. I guess i was spoiled as a little child. Always getting all the candy i ever wanted. Bringing me to shops to look for a new toy. And now she is looking for that again. The chance to be spoiled.

My family doesn't quite work that way, we're individualistic beings. I only realized this quite recently when each of us (all 5 people) have our own favourite spot within the house (apart from each other). The only thing that managed to make us come together is the PC at the living room. But it's only when we watch movies and tv shows. And my Grandma still thinks it's a TV.

Well, you can't blame her. Back in her days, it was the TV that had magical powers to unite the people in the house. Every crappy show was worth watching coz your spending time with your family. 

My Grandma is like a little sister, annoying but adorable. She doesn't even know she's doing it! Annoying how? She keeps asking the same questions over and over again. 

-Where to put her dirty clothes?

-What time is sahur?

-Where is everybody else?

At one point you can predict what she may say as she opens her mouth. At one point you start to grow tired and try to avoid her eye contact. Run away.

She is at times adorable,though i try not to treat her like a little child, i still believe i'm not good with children. I have too much irony in me. I admit tis one of my bad traits. She is returning to her childhood memories and sometimes thinks i'm her youngest daughter (who died at an early age). Something i've tried to explain time and time again. She lives in the past.

All i can say is she just needs Attention, Love and Care. One that a mom could give to her child. One that could be shared from one girl to another. A little sister just needs someone to talk to. Someone she could look up to. So that she could be just like her Big Sister.

Awkward-ness!

I was enjoying the Bazaar Ramadhan aura @ Putrajaya, Presint 2 when i saw this friend of mine. 
So i approached her and said,

"Hye! Kakak mana?" (Hye! So where's your sister?)

"Eh, ini aku la!" (Eh, it's me la!)

AWKWARD!!
 
She was my ex-classmate during my high school days! How could i have mistaken her for her little (and i mean much more little) sister?

Malu gileeee! :P

"Uh, hello, Analyssa? Is this Analyssa?"

"Yes. It's Alyssa"

"Oh, sorry. Alyssa" 

Pfftt! So much for having such a hard to pronounce name,

then they go and add more letters in my name!

Analyssa = Analisa (a Malay word) = (which means) Analysis

HAHAHA! 

What kinda screwed up parents would call their kids by a process of working something out?

More weird baby names

Oppss!I stand corrected =P

What do u think, 

should we just name our babies out of the Generally-Accepted-Cute Baby Names Book

or just give them unorthodox names?

... is the Best Medicine

They say that "Laughter is the Best Medicine"

But there's just this one medicine i can't quite comprehend
but may still acknowledge


The Placebo Effect

Interesting eh?


Your brains tells what ur body is feeling,
If u keep on saying
"Saya rase macam nak demam la."
"Peningnye..nak demam."


NAK!

My Best Intentions

"What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?"

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

*from the movie

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

-- W H Auden

I was watching 4 Weddings & A Funeral last night,It seemed like a typical love storynice ending to it - in the end they get married.
BUT it got me wondering is there such thing as love at first sight?
