Hiya!

Day 3 challenge today… i thought this one is going to be easy. to my surprise, this challenge turned out to be one of the toughest coz i have so many pictures with different sets of friends and i was actually having a hard time to choose! After spending 1 1/2 days to select a photo, i finally decided on this one..

L-R : Felicia (Licia), Samantha (Tantha), Yours Truly (Mimi), Bannecy (Bibie), Judith (Udit)

We’re not required to describe this photo k but, i want to 😀

these set of friends are my dearest and oldest childhood friends… we’ve known each other since kindy, except for Tantha. Tantha and I have known each other a lot longer, i think since we’re 3 yrs old 🙂 our dads are good friends so, it’s only natural that we got to know each other at such a young age.

ok, now you might wonder, why the ‘funky’ outfits hehehe… FUNKY lah mangkali… these are our working attire hehe.. this photo was taken in 1997 if i’m not mistaken. we have just taken our SPM exam and while waiting for our result, we were employed by the company where our dads work for a job at a Flower Nursery. The nursery was located at a copper mine at the foot of Mount Kinabalu.

It was very very cold there, the mine was in a near-constant cover of clouds every day (curi ayat dari Twilight novel :-P), the sun only comes out like 1-2 hours in the afternoon. I love it there… although we have to work like gardeners, it was just a wonderful experience and I’m really glad I got to be a part of it. there was also a green house where they plant tomatoes & strawberries organically. the green house was a restricted area, but we always curi2 masuk and “stole” the strawberries hehehe… berebut-rebut lagi tu.. hisyyy.. kurang senonoh perangai… 😀 there was also a baby bear called Lucky. I heard they caught Lucky around that area and they decided to keep it. I wonder where is Lucky now..

We became a very famous group of girls at the mine because we’re the only teenage girls amongst almost all male employers. We were loud, silly, funny and we always sing! One can only imagine the chaos and the noise we made back then. Those were one of the best time of my life.. we got paid RM10 per day and being a seventeen yrs old at that time, I don’t have any worry in the world except for my dad finding out that the guy I fancy was secretly giving me driving lessons with a 4×4 hilux at the mine and also on our almost 10 miles way home. That was fun…

Where are they now?

Licia is working as an officer in LHDN Sarawak.

Tantha is a secretary in one of the IT companies in KK, married with 2 kids, a girl and a boy, staying in Putatan.

Bibie is a teacher, teaching at a remote school somewhere in Keningau, married also with 2 kids, a boy and a girl.

Udit is also a teacher, teaching also at some remote area in Telupid, married with 2 kids and soon to have another one..

Sigh… sedih pula reminiscing at the old times :-)..

for my childhood friends, for this special Day 3 Challenge, i’m dedicating this poem to you la.. sya curi from a hallmark card.. 😛

OLD FRIENDSHIP ARE THE DEAREST

Though many of life’s pleasure,
may change from year to year,
Old friendships never change at all
except to grow more dear,
and just like cherished memories,
they have a place apart…
a place reserved forever,
in a corner of the heart.

Nah… habis crita utk entry niari…

Day 3 Mission Accomplished!

This day 2 challenge is supposed to be done yesterday, but I was busy working (was trying not to blog during office hr) and when i got home, i have to be a mother/wife and do house chores. by the time I’m done, it’s already 9:30 pm. the kids were supposed to be in bed at 9:00pm but since I’m not asleep yet, they continue to watch Astro Boy! quickly put the kids to bed, felt so tired, forgot to mandi and fell fast asleep myself.. i only mandi this morning!

so, enough about that, let’s get down to business!

The meaning behind my Blogger name. Now I’m a bit confused here, am I supposed to tell stories about my Blogger name or my Blog name? My Blogger name is Mimi Matimbun, which is my name – but I’m guessing that this entry is actually about my ‘BLOG’ name. Bah, baik la..

The Voice Within. Why? because…. when I started blogging back in 2003, most of the bloggers blog anonymously. don’t ask me why but the trend back then was that way, myself included. Since I love Christina Aguilera and since I’m blogging anonymously, I thought The Voice Within was perfect. The voice inside of me, the stories that I feel more comfortable writing rather than talking, and if you go back to my entries in those years, I curse a lot… that was one of the voices within me 😀

of course when i decided not to be anonymous anymore, some of my entries had to be re-edited, hidden and when i found out that people from my workplace and my boss read my blog, i started to filter my entries. to tell you the truth, that actually spoils the fun for me. I don’t get to write to my heart’s content anymore.. semua bertapis… now have to write about good stuff only. no fun!

so i guess that’s all about my blog name. nothing special, as usual..

Day 2 Mission Accomplished!!

Hello hello, People!!!

Look who’s here??!! Woot woottt!!! Yup, I’m back and excited to start on my Day 1 challenge. Bah, Bring it on, bebeh…!

Nah! Ambek mu!! Taken on Dec 19, 2010 while indulging myself with the super-sinful irresistible Magnum Almond Icecream. Yummy…

Now, 15 interesting facts about myself. Well, I’m not an interesting human being so, sorry to disappoint you people 😀

1. I’m the eldest of 5 siblings, I have 3 brothers and a sister. [i hope i’m not breaking the rules here. klu ikut betul, these are already 3 facts]

2. I have an autism brother, he’s turning 30 this year 🙂

3. I’m married (duh!) and have 2 beautiful kids, Ellone and Xavier.

4. My daughter’s name Ellone is from a computer game Final Fantasy VIII and my son’s full name has a ‘III’ as in ‘the third’.

5. I self-taught myself to play the guitar & keyboard.

6. I love sports and I can play almost all of the commonly know sports – but I was never an expert in any of them. Slightly above average, but never the best.

7. i don’t eat duck and rabbit bcos i think they’re cute.

8. i tend to think like a programmer even on non work-related matters. i always have if-then-else thinking… always have switch-case-default… programmers would understand…

9. I was born in Tambunan, but grew-up in Ranau. I’ve spent more than half of my life (18 yrs) in Ranau so Ranau felt more like home to me.

10. I’m an adventurous person. I like extreme sports, though I had to tone it down now that I have 2 little mes to think about 🙂

11. I’m a rebel, and I’ve always known that since at a young age.

12. I’m also a lazy person, I like procrastinating.

13. I’m not good with kids.

14. I’m not a good cook.

15. I don’t wear make-ups, sometimes even on special occasion.

everythime when i was doing a meme, i couldn’t help but wonder who started them, but i never had the time to trace the origin of a certain meme. this morning, i decided to trace the origin of the handbag meme and i found out that it was started by a person by the name Mimi! What a coincidence!

And since I’m also a Mimi, I’m going to make/start a meme too.

Here are the rules:-

1. The title of your entry must be "My 7 Dream Cars".

2. Add a link to the person who tagged you.

3. List your 7 dream cars [preferably with pics of those cars].

4. Tag at least 7 other bloggers.

 

So, here’s the list of my dream cars :-

1. Hummer H3^x in Black

2. Range Rover Sport in Black

3. Lamborghini SUV

This is only the concept car but then i heard the plan has been dropped. *sigh* kunun… hehehe… as if i can afford it!

4. Toyota/Lexus Cygnus in Black

5. Toyota Alphard 2009

6. Nissan Elgrand

7. 2009 Smart Fortwo Passion

And now, i’d like to tag these bloggers :-

1. Si-Kicik

2. Elcynthia

3. Herda

4. Joyce

5. KadusMama

6. Nleen

7. Zue

 

Happy Meme-ing!

Aiya!! I totally forgot October is supposed to be the Cancer Awareness month! Last year, i was tagged by Azlina and i only found out i was tagged on the final week of October. However, I had still manage to change my blog template to pink.

This year, i was tagged again by Herda and Kak Zue, again on the final week of October. i’d really love to go all pink [with the template] but i guess this time around, time is not on my side. I’ve got a lot of deadlines to meet within the next few days, but don’t get me wrong, I’m still giving my full 100% support to this campaign.

The rules to place this logo are pretty much simple.

All you have to do is:
1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who shared it with you.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Add links to these blogs on your blog.
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

And so, I would like to tag:

Each and everyone of you! Anybody who is interested in supporting this campaign, you’re welcomed to pass on the pink ribbon.

Tagged by kadusmama a few weeks ago but don’t really have the time to ‘Dump the contents of my handbag in a pile’ anyway, since i’m so lazy to work today [come to think of it, i’m always lazy nowadays], decided i should do one of the memes i currently hutang. so far, i still hutang a meme from Jeff and 2 hutang from Herda.

24. Bonia wallet with no money inside

and normally, i would also bring an umbrella [inside my handbag] but today i forgot… hopefully it won’t rain.

 

4. Tag others who might want to embarrass themselves.

I think i don’t have anybody else to tag. seems like everyone has already been tagged. would really love to tag si-kicik, but then again, si-kicik doesn’t have handbags. nleen? would you like to do the tag? you’re always welcomed to do it if you want to.  but tiada paksaan la…
