Do more for less

Lately, I have very limited communications with human... even if I communicate, seventy percent of it would be through e:mails.. phone calls and any other form of communications....to get my self entertained I have these gadgets which I carry most of the time.... I asked myself.... do I really need these stuff? Yes I do... but of course how good they are... it's not something that you can substitute with human... these thing are just one way of communicating and you shouldn't be over use them... as it may leave you in a super lonely planet....

But environment do change.. the way you do things may differ from what you normally do... same goes with me... I can't help myself getting away from these so called gadget... since today is Wednesday.. let me share with you how wordless can it be for my Wednesday....

It all started.....when...

First, enche hubby bought this for me... it says "Engineered for Pro"... It brings others close to my heart... these camera stores millions memories for me... so far, my shutter metres showed 12,000 photos has been captured in less than a year....

Then enche hubby spoiled me with this tab thing... as the tagline says "more possibilities on the go".... true enough.. it gives me convinient.. and time... time is so scarce nowadays and everything's on the finger tip.

*

*

*

If you think that's too much for me.... at least as I thought so....

wait till you see this....  dammmmnnnn....I'm breathless..

I saw this box at one corner of my room... stay still there for 2 days.... and I couldn't be bothered... It's his..  enche hubby excitedly wanted to share what he bought... but I'm just too busy to pay a look.... and today in one of his e:mail... I'm not sure whether intentionally or not he said he wants this to be mine..... what??? I felt like my jaw is dropping...he said this is for my blogging..... phhheww how can I resist.... can't wait to be home and get this thing explored....

In fact.. right now, I'm typing this from my Samsung RV411.... click here for more details... and I loves the tagline as this is my tagline too... "Do more for less"... mine is "Less is more"...

*

*

are we both a fan of Samsung???

just to share..

apart from the above...

I have

Samsung fridge

and also

Samsung TV

what a coincidence

lalalallalalllalallllalalllllaaallallallalaalalla.... sighhhhh....I'm tired of smiling and I'm sooooooooo happyy... thank you enche hubby....

Congratulations Red Starz

Just a quick update on where I was last Saturday... enche hubby was having the badminton tournament... so what has that got to do with me... I just felt to be his supporter though initially he was just a reserved player.. so I thought it's going to be a very quick one...

but somehow rather.. one of the player didn't turned up... so he was in the team... instead of spending 2-3 hours ended up going back at around 4.00 pm...

This is enche hubby and his partner....

*

*

phhhewww

match after match...and finally the result was out

*

*

and

alhamdulillah

his team won the overall match...

hmmm... even the so called self appointed cheerleader felt happy for the glory

*

*

2nd team which was equally good won the second place.... they just missed a game to be the champion...

love their spirit..

especially to the ladies...they're the best.

not sure of the right term

and this happened in the match against enche hubby's team

In between the match

I tried this dish from espresSOUP

It was served in a square hollow bread that filled with soup...

On what I left behind....

This small cozy space used to be my seat for almost 14 years... I spent most of my daily time here....7am-7pm .. on average of 10 hrs per day for 5 days per week.... hmm obviously this place meant something to me... but now, I don't know who occupy this place.... somehow I'm curious to know... but let it be.. it's no longer belong to me.... I've leave that space behind

*

*

*

Place mainly meant for work area... but apart from that... there were wild and innocents gossips (work and no work related) discussed... buy and sell took place... makan-makan.... discussions on hot general topics... meeting on treasure hunts winning strategies...all sorts of things which gives memories.... but trust me.. those were minor things we do.... work should be my main focus.... just in case my ex boss happen to read this... don't want him to get me wrong.... anyway..life is all about balance... you need something to keep you going....

 

I'm not only leaving that tiny memorable space... more than that which make me even office sick are my friends.... so my friends out there who happen to read this entry... find your self published as you are not going to get away with it.... if I missed someone... not that I meant to...you're always be in mind...

I never had a chance to thank in a proper manner to many people  who has left me in deeply sadness and speechless for being so kind… on the other hand , I have to leave these people whom I called friends and to certain extent like my own brothers and sisters. I intended to keep these photos and memories to my own self, folded in my mind and soul….  But to be fair, I’ll share some with you out there who are still interested in reading my worthless thought though I’m no longer around….  

It's even worst that these people held farewell for me and the other 3 friends of mine.. I felt so appreciated and my special thanks to those who had really get involved in making this happened... I can't swallow any food on that day though the spread is variety.... I like everything about this farewell except for the really sad songs (alamak tetiba pulak keluar lagu ni kat TV3 untuk theme song cerita Sahara) ... and also my sad kelam kabut speech... but loves the slides of memories... great work abg Hashim...

*

*

with all the kakaks...

*

*

and with all the single ladies....

*

*

my 1996/1997 batch

*

Can't help myself in tears... like a raindrop...

X@%$^&**($

So, my absent could be a relief to some of you.. or maybe few or none feel sad… but I personally felt sad to leave each and everyone of you… on a second thought, 14 years is not that much or it’s just too short to be together… if I were to rolled back to those time….
