I am starting to fall in love with my iPad2.
I don’t like opening computers at home. Or anywhere for that matter. Except in the office and it’s probably because of the office environment. To me yang pemalas ni, even opening laptop pun leceh, boleh? Especially bila nak kena guna mouse (because I hate guna scroller kat laptop tu) and got to plug in the power cable when power runs out. Pastu nak position the laptop pun kena proper sebab kalau tak kejap je dah tak comfortable. Yelah, nak go online sambil tgk tv.. memanglah susah kan. Tu pasal I don’t go online often at home. Nak go online kat henfon pun malas sebab skrin kecik.
With iPad, since now I already have the SIM card (wink..wink!) in the iPad, the internet connection gets turn on the moment I flip open the cover of my iPad. Mudah, bukan? Ofkos I still like typing using a keyboard. I do that faster than typing on the touchscreeen. It has got to do with my normal fingers size (since I think my finger yang runcing despite my body size ni, is a normal average size for human) as well as the sensitivity of the touchscreen. Because of that, I keep on thinking of getting an iPad cover that comes with a keyboard. Or buy the keyboard from Apple Store online. But before that I’ve got to see how often I think of using the typing function on iPad. If it’s just to type the password and to get connected, tak yah lah kan. Membazir duit yang dah banyak aku habiskan ever since I owned an Acer Tab and iPad jek!
Owh the solution for my SIM card..
Yesterday we went to a Maxis agent to get an iPhone for Wan. Aku tanya budak kaunter tu ada stok tak, dia kata ada. But when we wanted to get one, dia kata tak leh dapat the phone on the same day. Got to come again tomorrow once the line has been connected, to collect the phone. Macam haram! Bila aku marah budak tu, budak tu reply kata aku cuma tanya ada stok tak. Aku tak tanya bila boleh dapat phone tu. Memamg macam haram! Cilakak sangat. Dahlah time tu kitorang kat Seremban. Takkan nak datang esoknya takat nak ambik phone je. Grrrrrr! Marah aku dengan budak tu!!
Then dalam kegeraman aku, aku tanya lak pasal nak get a SIM card for iPad. Budak tu tunjuk the plan. Sekali Wan tanya boleh tak kalau guna the existing broadband yang kitorang ada. Budak tu kata boleh. Hmm.. aku tak terpikir lak. Aku tanya lak budak tu kalau nak potong SIM card untuk jadik SIM card for iPad berapa dia charge. Dia kata RM3. So we decided to head that direction. Maka berSIM-cardlah iPad aku dah ;)
With iPad yang dah ada SIM card and YES 4G untuk guna kat rumah as well as mobile, we decided to just stick with Hotlink je untuk phone Wan. We are thinking of just getting the iPhone online. Although the price is more expensive than the one that comes with package, we don’t have to have any contract with any company. Tak suka kalu, switch over to anyone else. Like a whore. No loyalty. Settle. Ok gitu? Hahahaha.. Pastu with YES, iPhone can ride on the wifi kalau tak cukup credit on Hotlink tu. And it’s good in the sense that boleh bajet banyak mana guna for the month. Takdelah rasa macam terlebih or terkurang guna. Can also use YES to make calls with the free calls and sms. So I think we’ve got the solution that works for the both of us ;)
Me, happy!
At least for now. Until I have another problem statement that needs a solution. And mostly the solutions cost money. Pfth!
Owh why iPhone? Because we have done some exploration with iPad and iPhone is just the next item that we should have. Senang share apps especially those that I have purchased :D

Cempedak luar pagar
I am not an ICT (information, communication technology to those who wonder and planned to Google for what it is..) savvy. I don’t bother much on the development of the technology. It’s moving too rapidly (much rapid than our RAPID transportation system in KL) and I am never interested to follow up with it. I am lost in translation when I go to Low Yat and Digital Mall or any IT fair. It’s really an unknown jungle to me. And I am married to someone who thinks that Mat Sentul is cool and Ahmad Jais’ white shoes are super cool, who owns stupidphone (since it’s not smartphone) that is about to fall apart anytime soon, with screen that’s full of scratches. No need any screen protector. To the outsiders, I am lost. To him, I am his super-terror wife. Best!
Computer is something that I have never bothered to own. All my life, I have only bought a computer like gadget once.. or now twice. The first ever is my Acer Tab and the second is my iPad2. I don’t think I would ever get an iPad2 if I didn’t get it in the lucky draw. I use computer mostly for work related matters. When I am at home, I rarely turn on my laptop. Oh, I did utilise my laptop heavily once upon a time when I was searching for a hubby. Somehow my hubby who is lost in the dense of ICT jungle and me who is slightly better than him, found each other in the cyberworld! Isn’t it ironic! Muehehehe..
I have always been using computers issued by company or school when I was studying (or boyfriend issued ;) ). Everything built in, and I am just to use it. Should there be any problem, ICT dept will help to solve it. Same goes with smartphone. I have never bothered to learn about smartphone. And I only started using it when the company issued me with a BB. Otherwise, I might still use a stupidphone. Since it’s company issued, I never bothered about any of the charges incurred. Same with computer, all built in. ICT will be referred to if there’s any problem with it. Senang.
I only realised that I am total lost when I wanted to purchase my Acer Tab. I know nothing about computer’s tech spec. Nothing. I get confused between RAM and ROM. I don’t know about the latest processor. I don’t know the size. I don’t know the speed. I don’t know what are the latest size and speed that people are talking about. I don’t know the necessary software to support the computer. Ever since I have to use a computer, everything has been given to me on a silver platter. Guna je.
Same goes with smartphones. I was lost when people talked about android. And android always referred to some cookies or dessert. Thanks to Google, I am not that lost anymore. I can at least understand enough about it. Just enough. Nothing more.
And with smartphones, comes the payment plan. I don’t know how much it costs per month to use a smartphone. Anything and everything that I used on my BB is all covered under the company package. I just use. I don’t even know if it costs the company anything at all if I am running FB or twitter or any apps in the background. I don’t even know if they used up the ‘gigs’ (I really don’t know what is the right term for it!).
Ehem. The above is just the intro..
And so I have an iPad.. But I don’t have any internet connection to make it work in a place without a wifi connection. I haven’t bought the SIM card for it yet and trying to figure out the best option. I thought of asking the hubby to get for himself a smartphone. With that will come a phone bill that I couldn’t imagine the amount. We already have a Maxis broadband at home. A dongle. So can only be used on a single laptop but no use for iPad. And he has a stupidphone bill to pay for now.
So.. if I get a SIM card for my iPad which will not be compatible to Maxis dongle, between both of us then we have 2 lines that won’t be fully utilise. And when he gets his smartphone, that’s another SIM card and another bill. Of course the easiest solution is to get a SIM card for my iPad, keep the Maxis broadband that at times crawl rather than run, and hubby to get his smartphone. For someone who doesn’t really rely on internet to feel alive, I just feel that it’s too much. Hubby can actually live with his stupidphone but I am just sick of looking at it. Boleh? But then when we talk about smartphone, he wants Galaxy Note. Eksyen tak boleh blah. Wants the latest and greatest. Pergh.
And so, with a problem statement, I spoke to a friend who is an ICT whore. He is just a whore. Either that or a pimp. He is confused which one would he prefer. He suggested me to buy a mobile broadband router. Basically with the router, I just need to plug the Maxis broadband dongle into it and walla both hubby and I can share the connection. With the advice, I went and bought one myself. It works fine, but the problem is I have to hook it to a power source. It doesn’t run on a battery. Urgh. But bought already, okay! So gunalah.
Then I gatal-gatal went and surf looking for other options. I am yet to be satisfied. Yelah, I still have to have a power connection and it’s not all that user-friendly in that sense, right? And I bumped into Yes 4G line. The way it was advertised, attracted me to. Well, that’s the power of advertisement. And the powerless of a gullible. It said that for RM68, I could get 3.5GB data, 150 free calls to any operators in Malaysia, 150 free sms to any operators in Malaysia. And I could buy it online. And I could choose my number. Sounds attractive isn’t it? I thought it should work well on my iPad, on hubby’s laptop as well as on hubby’s future smartphone. Got number maaaa.. Can sms maaaa.. My coolest solution! So I thought. And so I bought it. Once the transaction was done, all I got was a thank you. Erk? Where to get the SIM card loh? Of course I have made sure I know where their stores are located. And so I went to the store.
Although I am not an ICT savvy, I am not dumb. I can understand the basic explanation from the salesgirl. Or anyone for that matter. I still have some brain cells that I have allocated to understand bits and pieces on ICT. From her I found out that 4G line doesn’t come with a SIM card. Bodoh. I know that I have to get their device but what I didn’t know was that there’s no SIM card that comes with the device. There are a few devices that they have and I chose huddle. I am not going to explain what huddle is here. Google please. The good part about the huddle is that it has a battery on its own. Brilliant. And yes I can use the huddle with a smartphone. Tapi tulah. Got to carry the huddle around together with the phone. Grrrr… Bodoh.
And yet my problem is not solved.
And I still don’t know if running FB or twitter or anything in the background would consume the ‘gig’ or not. And I still don’t know if I use PAYU plan, would running those apps be considered as YU. It should be isn’t it? Grrr…
And the list of ICT things that I now own:
Acer Tab (which my bro-in-law is interested to buy)
iPad2 wifi and 3G (but yet to have a SIM card)
mobile broadband router (which now I feel like selling it)
Yes 4G line and huddle
I feel like I am becoming a whore. Or a pimp. Whore works for a pimp. Pimp owns a whore.

Back to life, back to reality..
Today is my first day at work after being away for more than a week. It was a good break indeed. Time passed by so fast. But I had great time. Mostly because most of the time during the break, it was spent with families. Most of the time I was away from home. Kalau tak Seremban, Pilah, then Melaka. Balik KL pun hari Khamis jap, pastu back to Seremban on Saturday. Sempatlah jugak mengemas rumah sikit-sikit. Sempatlah jugak gi tengok wayang seround.
And now, got to pick up my momentum that I have left behind. Huhuhuu.. Tough, but the moment aku masuk ofis, I know it's going to be okay. This is what I do. This is what 'normal' to me.
Bila dah back to 'reality' ni, my body clock automatically get adjusted lak. Tau lak time lapo. Kalau time cuti tu, suma main langgar je. Since dah lapo ni, nak kena carik food ye! Muehehehe.. Food pun, kalau dah kat ofis ni, pandai je makan oat or cereal ye! Kalau kat rumah, jangan harap.
Worait. A short update to mark that I am ready to rock!! *busy benonya Januari nih..*

Approaching 2012..
At midnight tonight, we would bid farewell to 2011. Aku ada cakap hari tu azam aku tahun ni is tak nak berazam. Hahahaha.. Tapi for the past few days, things came to my mind. It's not so much about berazam due to tahun baru. But azam came after bonus dapat, hutang tak habis, and yet I have added a few things into my collection of things yang "tak perlu"! Duh! And so, here are the things that I thought I should learn to stick on.. and writing them here, so that I can recall the feeling I have now while writing this..
*sambil terketar menaip...*
1 - Aku berazam untuk tidak masuk Jakel lagi for 2012. Hopefully for the whole year tapi kalau leh tahan until lepas raya pun dah syukur dah. The reason being is that I have had a shopping spree in Jakel semalam. Muehehehehe.. And now mode insof. Well, when I did the purchase, I had this in mind.. so I better stick with it. I told Wan about it. Pastu Wan kata yang kitorang tak gi Ganu lagi. So got to plan to go there and beli batik. Owh? Approval to buy batik already?? Hahahaha.. Okehhhh.. so no Jakel but there's still room for batiks. I loike!
2 - Aku berazam tak nak beli handbag lagi dah. Omigod! I did a shopping spree for handbags already. No need to go to JPO. Kat KL pun cukup dah. My reason for that is to reward myself after hardwork for the year. Acceptable lah kot reason tu? Takkan tak leh? But the amount spent tu agak besar, so I should just consider that my handbag shopping is done for the year! *Unless suddenly ada good sale kat Coach or anywhere else yang buat aku tak tahan?? Oh Goddddd!! Camana ni tulis azam tapi sendiri rasa macam lum apa-apa dah nak ter-break the azam??* *And teringat lak satu beg Coach yang aku dah tengok tapi tak beli and now rasa macam nak beli??? Gawdddddd!!!!!* *Merembes airmata sambil tulis...*
3 - Aku berazam tak nak beli kasut keje lagi dah. *Merembes airmata sambil jari ketaq menaip* Nak kata certain kaler kasut takde, macam dah tak logik dah. So I should just stick to this azam! Tekad! *And terbayang kasut kat Timberland hari tu yang ada sale... Uwaaaaaaaaa..!!!*
4 - Aku berazam untuk tahankan diri dari masuk kedai Habib. Boleh??? Adoiiii!! I know it's an investment tapi ini investment yang boleh buat aku bankrap gak kalau asik layan, kan? Ada satu gelang yang aku dah nampak and teringin nak beli. So kalau ada pun, itu jelah satu gelang tu. Tu je!
5 - Aku berazam untuk tidak membeli apa-apa dengan zero instalment plan. Aiseh. It's a good plan for something that you really need. Tapi tulah kan.. definition of "really need" tu amat vague untuk diri aku yang lemah ni.. Hahahahaha.. So kalau aku pukul rata untuk berazam gini, mungkin it helps???
Okeh.. itu azam yang melibatkan uwang. I am a damn boros person lah. Kalaulah aku ni ikut gaya hidup Abah dengan Emak aku dulu, mungkin aku dah leh ada a good big house kat KL nih. Tapi tulah kan.. dah nak masuk 40 baru nak pikir kan? Errrr... not that tak pernah pikir before. Yelah.. back to aku insan yang lemah *insof tunduk ke lantai*
Besides those azam, a few other things came to my mind..
Dulu aku selalu plan nak kurus. Now tetiba I feel that I should change the mindset. Instead of thinking about nak kurus, I should think about nak cantik untuk suami. Maybe that helps? Lagi dah tua ni, I should plan to be vogue. Errr nak jadik vogue kena melibatkan wang kan?? Aiyoo!! How??? Hahahahaah.. This thought came to my mind when I saw a friend who lost her husband this year (husband died okay, bukan kena cerai), did some workout after the death. She looks much slender than she was when she had the husband. Maybe she is doing it to cure her sadness besides need to take care of her health so she could take care of the kids. She looks much better now. And when I saw her picture in her FB today, suddenly it crossed my mind that.. too bad the husband is no longer around to see how much she has changed and how much more beautiful she has become. So, aku berazam that I have to do something, to change the way I look (of course it's mostly related to my weight! Damn it!). Kalau laki dah takde baru nak do something about it, it's a bit too late, isn't it? So sementara ada laki ni, I should do something about it. Ini azam dari zaman Nabi Adam dulu kot.. But now since macam ada "paradigm shift" gitu of seeing the need from different perspective, maybe something will turn out good.
Okay dah kot? Yang lain-lain tu tak perlulah nak tulis. It should be in my blood by now. Sepatutnya lahhhhhhhh.. Urgh!
Now that I have them written, I think I am off on a good start. We'll see.
Happy New Year peeps!

Approaching 40..
A conversation over lunch yesterday with my colleagues sort of made me realised.. He said that when we are in our 40s, we start to look things from different perspective. And I find it quite true. And maybe because I am somewhere stuck in the transition zone.
I have started to think of bila nak pegi haji.. bila nak cukup duit nak gi haji.. sayu tengok kawan sekolah dah buat haji.. but at the same time dok lagha gak lah kan. Dok ingat nak shopping, nak travel, nak macam-macam. Some people said it’s mid life crisis. For 40 years to be mid life crisis, you have to live more than 80 years. Kalau ditakdirkan umur pendek, maybe most of us dah past mid life kot? Kalau umur 70, 35 je dah mid life dah. Kalau 65, 33 dah mid life dah.. So idak le when you are 40 that you are going to have mid life crisis. For those yang mati muda dalam 20an.. their “mid life” crisis took place when they are 10ish?? Erk.
Besides that, aku dah mula congak-congak nak dok mana bila dah tak keje, nak dok dengan sapa etc. Untuk orang yang takde anak macam aku ni, kena menumpang kasih pada yang sudi je. Memang ada suami, tapi back up plan kena ada.. and they come in the form of adik beradik and anak-anak buah aku. Tu pasal kena collect points dari sekarang! Kekekeke.. So that, bila aku dah tua, diorang ingat kat aku and nak jaga aku.. Ok tak konsep tu? Pastu, since I am very much attached to my family especially my sisters, harus aku nak dok dengan diorang nanti. Kitorang ada gak sembang-sembang.. and aku rasa kalau aku ended up sendirian nanti, harus aku dok kat rumah parents aku sekarang ni dengan my sisters. Kalau ikut Wan, jawapan dia dok Pilah je. Erk. Bukan tak boleh, tapi itu tanah adat yang tak tau nak jatuh kat tangan sapa. Kot jatuh ke anak adik-adik dia, takkan nak menumpang kat tanah orang kot? Memanglah rumah sendiri ada, tapi kalau dok dengan adik-adik, bolehlah aku sewakan rumah tu pastu duit sewa guna untuk tampung hidup. Adik-adik aku bukan hidup senang pun. Tu pasal aku kena gak dok dengan diorang.. we need each other.
Also, it’s not so much about the place to be, it’s about the kasih sayang yang diperlukan. I think it comes to a point where money doesn’t matter much. Kalau ada duit tapi tak leh nak taburkan pada orang yang aku sayang, tak leh gak. So duit and kasih sayang mesti seiring.
Pastu bekalan mati bukan takat gi haji je kan.. adehhhh.. bila lak nak gi kelas ngaji, ceramah suma tu? Memanjang je takde masa sekarang ni kan? Or rather doesn’t want to make time for it. The fact that aku dah rajin gak tonton rancangan agama kat tv ni pun sesuatuh gak. Tu suma penghijrahan tu kan?
Tabungan pun satu hal gak.. Mula dok berkira cukup tak simpanan hari tua.. berapa nak belanja sehari nanti.. Berapa kena ada.. Tu yang senang kalau keje gomen dari dulu lagi. Leh ada pencen. Sikit-sikit pun, at least tiap bulan ada. Ni nak harap EPF.. Nak buat bisnes tak buat-buat lagi. Kasi bisnes orang yang dah kaya makin kaya yelah! Aiseh.
Pastu this morning on the way to work, I told Wan that next year will be our 5th year together. I asked him what’s the plan.. as in nak celebrate.. Jawapan dia.. hmmm.. dah masuk 5 tahun ni patutnya dah lebihkan banyak amal ibadah.. Hmmmm.. So that’s it lah kan. Memang pun. Not just after dah 5 tahun ni. Nak kena carik kelas agama or something like that. Maybe belajar ngaji together with a teacher..
I really need to think on what to do with the balance of my life lah...
Tapi apa-apa pun, cuti dulu minggu depan ye! ;)

I have started to think of bila nak pegi haji.. bila nak cukup duit nak gi haji.. sayu tengok kawan sekolah dah buat haji.. but at the same time dok lagha gak lah kan. Dok ingat nak shopping, nak travel, nak macam-macam. Some people said it’s mid life crisis. For 40 years to be mid life crisis, you have to live more than 80 years. Kalau ditakdirkan umur pendek, maybe most of us dah past mid life kot? Kalau umur 70, 35 je dah mid life dah. Kalau 65, 33 dah mid life dah.. So idak le when you are 40 that you are going to have mid life crisis. For those yang mati muda dalam 20an.. their “mid life” crisis took place when they are 10ish?? Erk.
Besides that, aku dah mula congak-congak nak dok mana bila dah tak keje, nak dok dengan sapa etc. Untuk orang yang takde anak macam aku ni, kena menumpang kasih pada yang sudi je. Memang ada suami, tapi back up plan kena ada.. and they come in the form of adik beradik and anak-anak buah aku. Tu pasal kena collect points dari sekarang! Kekekeke.. So that, bila aku dah tua, diorang ingat kat aku and nak jaga aku.. Ok tak konsep tu? Pastu, since I am very much attached to my family especially my sisters, harus aku nak dok dengan diorang nanti. Kitorang ada gak sembang-sembang.. and aku rasa kalau aku ended up sendirian nanti, harus aku dok kat rumah parents aku sekarang ni dengan my sisters. Kalau ikut Wan, jawapan dia dok Pilah je. Erk. Bukan tak boleh, tapi itu tanah adat yang tak tau nak jatuh kat tangan sapa. Kot jatuh ke anak adik-adik dia, takkan nak menumpang kat tanah orang kot? Memanglah rumah sendiri ada, tapi kalau dok dengan adik-adik, bolehlah aku sewakan rumah tu pastu duit sewa guna untuk tampung hidup. Adik-adik aku bukan hidup senang pun. Tu pasal aku kena gak dok dengan diorang.. we need each other.
Also, it’s not so much about the place to be, it’s about the kasih sayang yang diperlukan. I think it comes to a point where money doesn’t matter much. Kalau ada duit tapi tak leh nak taburkan pada orang yang aku sayang, tak leh gak. So duit and kasih sayang mesti seiring.
Pastu bekalan mati bukan takat gi haji je kan.. adehhhh.. bila lak nak gi kelas ngaji, ceramah suma tu? Memanjang je takde masa sekarang ni kan? Or rather doesn’t want to make time for it. The fact that aku dah rajin gak tonton rancangan agama kat tv ni pun sesuatuh gak. Tu suma penghijrahan tu kan?
Tabungan pun satu hal gak.. Mula dok berkira cukup tak simpanan hari tua.. berapa nak belanja sehari nanti.. Berapa kena ada.. Tu yang senang kalau keje gomen dari dulu lagi. Leh ada pencen. Sikit-sikit pun, at least tiap bulan ada. Ni nak harap EPF.. Nak buat bisnes tak buat-buat lagi. Kasi bisnes orang yang dah kaya makin kaya yelah! Aiseh.
