today during lunch we were chatting bout long term relationship and how sparks between couples begin to diminish. haha... well i gez wat i learned in psychology class is true. the early stage of ur relationship is always the 'honeymoon period' where everything seems so beautiful. where u wud send lovey messages to ur sweetheart. where u constantly msg 1 another. where u will have butterflies in ur stomach when u are meeting ur honey. but in the later stages, funny how u dun really practice these things as frequent anymore. probably it has bcome compassionate love. haha..
well every relationship will experience transitions. we somewat agreed tht when tht happens it doesnt mean tht there's no love anymore. it takes effort to keep a relationship going. it can be rather exhausting. so i gez u have to enjoy being with one another so despite putting the extra effort u wun feel drained cos u love doin it. get wat i mean?? haha i hope so..
but when u dun feel the sparks anymore i gez both have to do something to revive it tht is if u really wana be tht person till death do us apart or at least for long term basis. as u spend more tym with tht person, u get a lil bored. i gez thts why people have affairs. we have then come to a conclusion tht wateva it is it depends on individuals. if u really want things to work out, u've got to do something bout it.
lyk the old sayings when there's a will there's a way...
anyway syamsul i am happy for u tht she is beginning to be more open towards u. u have my support. hehe.

gosh im so pissed off today. from 735am till 755am there was no bus where i can board. 4 buses passed but all were packed. my last resort was to hail a cab. i was really reluctant to do tht bcos of the surge in price. so had to pay extra $2 and $0.50 for erp. the taxi fare was $16.60 luckily i had $20 but i was rather afraid tht it wud cost me more. super early today. reached ofc at 0815hrs. today's jonathan's last day. though i dun have the chance to get to know him better but he is a nice bloke and i am glad to have met him. thanks for helping me to search for files and all the best!
went to paragon today during our lunch break. not eating since both me n liyana are fasting. yan on course. took 190 from parkmall to ngee ann city. took 174 from partyworld ktv back to meridian. it was nice jus to walk n chat n laugh. haha...

Ingin ku berbicara
Aku yang mencintaimu
Tiada dua hanyalah satu
Keriangan di hati
Terpancar di wajah
Bila saja bersamamu
Ingin ku berkata
Dirimu semakin jauh
Bayu dingin mendakapku
Tetap aku mencuba
Membawa dirimu
Sekembali di sisiku
Ingin ku bertanya
Cintamu milik siapa
Tuluskah kasihmu
Atau hanya sebuah persembahan
Di mana hatimu
Hanya ada sesalan
Maafkan aku jika diriku
Tidak mampu memberi kebahagian
Sesungguhnya jika hatimu
Masih miliknya
Aku pasrah
Walaupun tanpamu jiwa resah
Namun aku rela
Kerana aku mencintaimu
Kebahagian mu kebahagian ku

samiyah!! i too watched barbie diaries... hehe. all of a sudden it reminded me of my sch days. it really captures the episodes of a life as a student as it was all bout popularity, kids trying to fit in, crushes, secret admirers and the list just goes on.
i was never part of the popular kids, low profile, average looking, shy, never good at expressing my tots. seems to me my life is somewat similar as samiyah.. hehe. wateva it is i was quite pleased with my life back then though how i wish i could have been more out spoken and perhaps prettier hehe...
anyway i was feeling all so sad TODAY. i duno whats wrong with me. no maybe i do jus tht i dont wish to acknowledge its existence. i am never pleased with wat i have. always expecting something even better. n when im not able to achieve wat i desire, it makes me feel unfortunate n thts where i started questioning why cant i be tht way? why cant i have tht? how i wish he's lyk tht. n before u knew it tears started to flow and i get so emotional and at times agitated. but im jus being a selfish brat for not cherishing the things tht i have and people who love me. it makes me realise tht less is sometimes better...

today i was introduced to a new kind of food from angie's choice. never tried it b4. shaped lyk popiah with an omelette-like skin and filled with mango, it taste so nice and refreshing. im falling in love with the mango roll. seriously haha..
anyway went out to eat at straits kitchen at grand hyatt with my colleagues. i jus love the ambience. and the service there is marvellous. its lyk a buffet where u can sample food from different regions. there was this 'buddha jump over the wall' soup (pardon me if i got tht wrong hehe) which my colleagues commended. maybe its nice but it doesnt suit to my likings. there's this strong taste of chinese mushrooms which i feel too "herby". heard tht the buffet cost ard 45 per head (perhaps without gst. so with gst it might cost 50 per head). but i think i only eat around $20 worth of food. wasted la though i didnt have to fork out a single cent. seriously theres alot of delicacies which i should have tasted. *regrets*
so while the rest still eating dessert i left the place with 3 other pple. it was kinda late and was feeling quite sleepy. by then how i wish some1 cud fetch me home. hahaha. hey i tot i saw syed azmir just now. but probably its not him cos i wasnt wearing my specs. had a pleasant journey home...

him: mcm i tahu la ape tu syarahan.. (lyk i noe wat is preaching)
me: takkan la tak tahu ape tu syarahan. (dun tell me you dunno wat is preaching)
him: dun u noe tht im not a muslim?
me: {i felt lyk as if im watching discovery channel}
haha seriously throughout our 3 mths of friendship, i've always tot tht he's a muslim. cos he speaks malay very well. i have the tendency to make this assumption: speaks malay well = muslim. hehe.. i still dun get it how cum the idea of him being non-muslim has never crossed my mind. *thinking* oh well it doesnt matter anyway.
anyway thanks qiuping for early birthday present. i never received such an early birthday present b4. i was kinda surprised. but hey i love surprises. haha.. love the gift so much. it fits so nicely in my room. thanks again qiuping! :D
so people going kbox on 29th july isit? my family going msia again eh on tht day. to hunt for durians again. i duno wats up with my family and durians. haha. but dun think im gona join em for the quest to find the most tastiest durians.... (",)

went to johore today at 730am cos i feel lyk going there since i've not been in msia for the past few months. so met with my cousins, aunties, uncles and my grandma at pantai lido b4 we went to our 1st stop to have our breakfast. had quite a heavy breakfast. it seems tht nowadays i've been eating too much. my father was lyk saying "linda you better watch your diet. you nid ur body". haha makan salah tak makan salah.
so then we went to kampung sawah, i think, to buy durians. it was nice. the seller, rizal gave us free durians which had already been eaten (part of it) by squirrels. it is believe that if part of the durians had been eaten by squirrels, the durians taste good. i didnt know tht squirrels had such a strong set of teeth to rip open part of the durians. amazing! we oso visited a relative of ours which i dun really noe. i envy him cos he owns such a nice kampung house with so many durian and jackfruit trees as well as other plantations. how i wish i could have a house in spore n a kampung in msia. then we went to shop. i didnt really shop tht much. there wasnt really a good bargain tht i can get hold on. nevertheless im happy cos i bought a lot of snacks. marvellous!!
anyway it was really a scorching day. and we were like eating durians at 130pm. heaty fruits on a hot day. wat a nice combination. for tht wonderful combo i ended up with a sore throat. bet i wud have fever tmr if i dun drink enough water. so at 8 plus im back in spore, exhausted. and tmr i have to go to work. how nice...

its saturday. n i woke up at 8 plus. tot of going for a jog today but think its gona rain. n so at 1 i sleep again n woke up at 4. its lyk a slumber day for me. i jus got to replenish myself for monday. anyway for the past few days i was a lil cranky n grumpy. mayb its d hormones imbalance.
at 6plus i went to kfc with yana. there i saw this guy who looks younger than me. i was attracted to the way he does his work. then he smiled at me so i smiled back. at the back of my mind i was thinking i would have approved him if he were my sis bf. haha. tot he was d goody2 type but then i saw tht he had this piercing thing in his mouth. i shuldnt have judged too soon. haha.. but wateva it is he's cute la.
anyway pple still remember a guy with initial K ? well he's back. he confessed that he lyk me. which is strange for he told me last yr tht he dun have feelings for me (he tot tht i lyk him. i duno which soul give him tht idea). next he once told me tht i wasnt pretty or sweet. but now he said tht i am beautiful. ok im flattered but there's a BIG QUESTION MARK on my face. wat is he up to? n then today out of the blue he said tht he missed me and wanted to meet me. told him i've got plans. n then he said i've got too many excuses. he's a one confused guy...

a new beginning. haha after what had happened to my previous blog so here's the new one. it took me ages to build it. 1stly i just cant find the right url cos most of it are already registered. 2ndly i nid a new blog skin; with a job it is so hard to find time to design one. 3rdly and the ever most prominent reason which summarise the delay; im just a procrastinator la.
so wat is 'erianthe' ? just some greek word which i picked up from babynames.com which means 'sweet'. hehe smangat u noe... it just suits the whole theme tht i had in mind. Sweet & Simple :D
it's been quite a while since i last blog. weird but true i kinda forget how to blog and stuff. anyway people life has been fine. im adapting quite well with my job. just that for the past 2 consecutive days i was being nagged by my superior. well i admit it was my fault but im not gona bear the full responsibilities. u noe working life has given me the chance to stumble upon alot of discoveries -- seriously to secure your job u have to be smart and alert for u dun wana have a knife stuck on your back. figuratively. i dun believe tht people are just so cunning, mean, selfish and the list just goes on... i've heard stories bout such encounters and now i see it for myself. but of cos there is a balance to this whole theory -- not all are evil.
there was this incident where i had rejected a doc to the co twice. so the secretary called me. [name of the co & secretary is fictional in order to protect their identity. im just giving em some face la.]
secretary: can i speak to haslinda?
me: yes speaking n may i noe who's on the line?
secretary: im jane from abc. why you reject my doc twice ar? everything in order wat. i duno why u have to reject it again. no mistakes wat (with confidence & the not so happy tone)
haslinda: (bet u really have small eyes to detect even a small mistake) erm.. there are mistakes in your doc. can you pls check it again.
secretary: but i checked a lot of times redi eh. i cannot find. (she sounded so sure and agitated)
haslinda: (pissed off & being the ever so good haslinda i just tell her where are the mistakes which im not suppose to for its her job and responsibility to make sure tht the docs are in order. i got other cases to attend to and here she is trying to debate with me)
secretary: oh tht one ar. i didnt c it haha. okey i will send you the amended doc. bye.
haslinda: HA.HA. bye. (not even a thank you. bitch)
the thing is shes not doing her job properly and yet she's trying to correct me. if she had jus called and asked me politely to tell her what are the mistakes i would have been more than willing to help her. in conclusion you just got to be cold at times to suit the occasion.
