Manic Monday #199

What was your best day of the week last week and why?

Month end week is always frustrating. But last week, had a fantastic 'Monday', knowing that I'd overpaid of 2 thousand bucks for a telephone bill! The best part is knowing that I'll get the refund in few days time. Yayyy!!!!

What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep?

During my university year, the longest I'd ever gone was 2.5 days (approximately 60 hrs), without sleep. I wasn't alone completing group's technical drawing project. A friend and I took few cups of coffee to get awake and after submitting the project, we exhaustedly slept for one whole day.

Is how old you look and/or how old you feel right now different from your actual age?

Being a decision maker of the family, I feel older than my actual age. But I always come into people asking me, where do I study?? And that means, I 'look' younger than my age!!! ;)

Thank you to Fleur De Lisa for hosting this great meme.
Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Eid ul-Fitr Celebration on Mellow Yellow Monday #36 & Ruby Tuesday

It's the 3rd day of Eid ul-fitr and I've been putting some weights already! With varieties of the exotic Malaysian cuisine, how can I resist! We had few traditional signature dishes served to guests, but this year's celebration had been more special to our guest as we flied to the capital of Sarawak, Kuching to get the original traditional Sarawak Layer Cake also known as 'Kek Lapis Sarawak'. We enjoyed serving to our guests the colourful vibrant cakes on this Hari Raya.

Be my guest..

I'm also writing this post as my participations to Mellow Yellow Monday and Ruby Tuesday. Thanks to Drowsey Monkey and Maryt for hosting these cool memes. Please click on the link or the badge to visit other mellow yellows or ruby entries around the world.

To all, may tomorrow will be another great day to be cherished!

Are you usually late, early or right on time?

Depends on the situation. Usually, I'm early, and occassionally, i'm right on time... I hold to this quote, 'the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese..'.

What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or to tell them that you do not love them back?

Once, I'd been loving someone for quite sometime. It was not that I had never tried to tell that somebody, but everytime when I wanted to tell him, there were butterflies in my stomach. Telling them the truth that I do not love them would be easier of course.

Which would you rather have: a high salary or job satisfaction?

If I were given options, I would rather have job satisfaction than a high salary. Job satisfaction is vital to fulfill everything. Be it in terms of monetary or other factors. A high salary would not guarantee one to get everything he dreams of. Today, he might be working real hard for that big pay, in future, he might need to work extra hard to accomplish his satisfaction.

Do you screen your phone calls?

Of course Y-E-S!!.. Unknown numbers surely wouldn't get me. I accept calls only from my phonebook. Sorry anonymous!!

When was the last time you lost your temper?

I can't remember, but all I did was silence...

When you're lost, do you ask for directions?

I plan my journeys. I don't really just grab my keys and head to unknown places. So definitely, I ask for directions if it happens that I couldn't picture the route... Provided that, I've searched through the net!

Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Are you a saver or spender?

I'm both saver and spender. How's that? Okay, I usually will keep a portion for savings and another to spend. I used not to spend upon getting my paycheque. My spending habit relies so much on my shopping mood (luckily I don't like shopping!).

Do you prefer to walk around barefoot in your home? Socks? Shoes?

It's our custom to walk around barefoot inside the house and I love walking with naked foot! But during rainy days, I prefer to walk with my socks (sometimes my bedroom slippers), since I couldn't stand the icey-cold floor tiles!

Do you talk to yourself?

Yes. I think it's normal to talk to ownself, albeit it sounds C-R-A-Z-Y. When I was a kid, I'd talked to myself, practicing languages pretending if they were in real conversations. No imaginery friends, though!!! :)

Did you play???

What would you do with an extra hour each day?

I treasure every moment of the day. Having an extra hour each day, I would be reading more, to explore more, and getting to know more about everything. Time waits for no one!

Do you wear a watch? If so, tell us about it. If not, how do you keep track of time?

I do. My first watch was a gift from mommy, an analog watch. She gave it when I was only 7. She taught me how to tell the time, the day she presented it to me. Since then, my wristwatch is the only my piece of jewellery that I could stand wearing it for the whole day.

If it was possible, would you want to know how many days you had left to live?

It's exciting to know the days left for us to cherish, but I prefer not to bother about it. Life is full of surprises. It's the journey of life...

Did you play? The above logo could be a door for you to enter..

Have a great Monday!

What's one of the simple pleasures in your life?

Sleeping. (...it's my favourite answer...)

What do you like to snack on when you watch a movie?

Mmmm... ice-cream, perhaps??? No, I don't have snacks while watching. It's two different pleasures that you should enjoy on two different occassions. Yeah, no snacks while watching!

If you were a Survivor contestant, what would be your luxury item?

I'm a music lover, so I would say, my MP3 player. Currently I'm still using my 'classical' MP3 player but I'm considering for a change to an iPod. So when I've shifted to iPod, that will be my most luxury item as the contestant and I've many reasons for that, really..

Have a Happy Monday and hope you'll be having a great week!

Have a happy Monday everyone..

What gives you hope?

My family. The grand essentials of happiness are : something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

How often do you get your haircut? Describe your worst haircut.

I get my haircut occasionally. I would rather keep my hair long enough and will only have a haircut just to make it short enough. My last haircut was the worst one, when I had long hair and decided to get it cut short, at a 'semi-pro' hairstylist as introduced by a friend. It turned out.. awful. Thankgod, as time passes by, it's getting longer and I guess I will grew it up and will never go back to that place again!

What's your most treasured piece of jewelry? Why?

I'm thinking hard. Okay... I do have jewelries but none of them being the most treasured piece. I don't really wear them!

I was just looking for something to be posted today. I browsed and found this meme. Well it's my first time joining Manic Monday. Another meme to be shared. If you feel like participating too, you may do so at here. Have a happy Monday!

What do you do to make yourself feel better when you are sick?

I admit that I'm a sleepy-head. So when I'm sick, it can be 'the best' reason for me to have a nap for the whole day. Of course, I would clean myself up at the very first place, then you would find me on the bed... sleeping. :)

What is the most amazing weather you've ever seen?

I've seen the so-called 'severe' weather conditions, 'La-Nina' back in 10 years ago. Literally the word 'La-Nina' has been derived from a Latin word that means 'the little girl'. I don't know further, that's all I could remember.

Do you listen to music or talk radio in the car?

I do both. It depends on my mood and the topic. When the dee-jay is discussing something hillarious or informative, I would stay on the channel, otherwise I would be listening collections of music from my favorite singers. I don't listen to traffic report...
