Capricorn Outlook for 2010

12/22 – 1/19

Year 2010 Overview

One of the things that never seems to come across in those generic descriptions of Capricorns is their inherent sweetness. You're every bit as kind and caring as anyone else (if not more so), but have a tendency to hide it behind a mask that downplays your vulnerability. Now that Pluto (the planet which is best at blowing things up) has moved into your sign, and Saturn has moved into your Tenth (the Work House).

Although this one-two punch might be too much for lesser souls to handle, you're well equipped with the tenacity to not only survive these circumstances, but in fact come out ahead on the deal. Think of these two planetary placements as bringing new ways to bring out your inner strength, without you having to lose that sweetness and kindness you've had all along.

Pluto has moved from the spooky funhouse of your Twelfth House into the light of day, figuratively speaking, in your First House. This means you'll be focusing on how you see the world, and how it sees you, in new and powerful ways. Think of it as an opportunity to evolve into a higher form of yourself.

Capricorn is actually ruled by Saturn, which not only represents difficulties and limitations (every planet has its bad side), but also represents the obstacles you have to overcome to get what you want out of life. In your Fourth House now, this means questions around your home life, and brings the chance to (literally) put your house in order. The next year's difficulties will mostly serve as an opportunity for everyone else to admire how well you overcame them. And you will!

Year 2010 Career

Capricorn has never had the reputation for being a "floater" -- letting things go by without a care in the world. It's that sense of seriousness that makes so many of you popular with your bosses. With Saturn moving into Libra, you will probably have already heard a lot of the Air and Water signs moping about how it's affected their lives for the worse (even if they aren't aware of the astrological reasons behind it). Saturn, despite ruling limitations, is actually good news in many ways for you and your career this year. It will bring a new sense of seriousness, structure and order to your work life, and that's exactly the kind of environment you excel in.

You may have noticed that the economy hasn't been all that great out there, and you've likely been as affected by that as the next guy. And at the same time, you've probably retained more of your sanity through it all better than the next guy, despite the natural worries that it produces. Your career and general sense of direction in life will be solidifying and gaining ground this year. You know how you heard that it's this sector or that sector that will lead the economy out of the recession? The truth is, it's going to be you leading the economy out of its funk. Think of it as a Reality Show where the first contestant to build a shelter out of the wreckage wins the game. Congratulations!

Year 2010 Romantic

Your love life can be in one of three positions in the next year: single, in a relationship, or in a committed relationship. Regardless of where you find your status this year, there will be change, and it will likely be for the better. If you're single and looking, there are a couple of windows of opportunity this year to change that. Forces are coming together to make April and September to November this year prime time for you to either find someone, or (even better!) for someone to find you. Even if you are in a relationship during those periods, you can expect the romance to get a little better.

If you're already in a relationship, May and June mark a time when the love and warmth will be ramped up. If there has been any distancing or difficulties in your love life, it will be an excellent time for the two of you to sit down and truly hear each other out, and do the work to make things stronger.

And if 2010 finds you in a committed, long-term relationship -- hang on to your hat! Two eclipses in 2010 will make for major shifts in your relationship, both of which have been building for a while. January is the first: watch for changes in your relationship that come to a head in July, when the second eclipse comes into play. If you want to move your relationship to a new degree of closeness and/or commitment, July will be the time to make your move.

Monthly Overview (January)

The 1st is not a great day for business, so what are you doing hurrying into work? Relax, put your pajamas back on and have a nice quiet day with close friends instead. You'll wind up way more refreshed, and you'll be a lot more ready to get down to business when it's really time to get down to business. On the 5th, you are totally ready to jump in with both feet. Trouble is, your boss isn't. Put in your time convincing them and your projects will have a much better chance of getting off the ground. Stay focused on the 10th. You'll see a host of positive outcomes, at work and in your personal life, thanks to the excellent hard work you've put in on the 12th, 13th and 14th. Write on the 19th. If there are any children in your life, volunteer to babysit on the 24th. If there aren't, get in touch with your own inner child. Business is thrilling on the 29th -- but be careful. Call up an old friend on the 31st.

Monthly Love (January)

Sometimes everything's a breeze. And sometimes love is a little more challenging. If the 1st turns out to be the second type of situation, don't fret: The road to happiness goes through some unhappiness. That's just life! And the unhappiness is very useful: It will make it easier to recognize happiness when you see it. You are already feeling more positive and energetic by the 3rd and 4th, when you can achieve a lot just by being positive. Power? Prestige? On the 9th, you would trade it all for some romance. Well, don't trade you power and prestige, yet -- they will help guide you to your romantic destination! And it looks like a very romantic destination is where you have arrived, the oh-so-excellent 12th, 13th and 14th. How do you feel? Put it out there on the 19th. Your integrity and stability are going to be just what attracts them most on the 24th. Breathe through the difficult moments on the 29th and 30th.

Monthly Career (January)

Work: It's important. Career: It's crucial. Business: It means business. But not on the 1st -- not for you. Yep, it's going to be an exciting, action-packed year. You're going to make all kinds of strides, but not right away. So take the day off on the 1st -- heck, take the day off on the 2nd, too. You need to relax and recharge. You need to chill. By the 5th, you are in a strong, powerful state of mind. You can go in to work and make things happen. Have a great time! Concentrate on what you want on the 10th. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed, and will not go unrewarded, on the 12th, 13th and 14th. Verbalize it on the 19th. Your energy is light and bright and spectacularly child-like on the 24th. Your work life is anything but understated on the 29th, but be wary of too much glitz and risk. Reconnect with an old colleague on the 31st. They'll have some very intriguing scuttlebutt to share.


P/S : Sometimes it is true of what's being said about Capricorn and how it relate to me. But I'm just enjoying reading it and not so fanatic about it.

Fiza...

What will come into your mind when u think about best friend? For me, a best friend is someone who really close to u; someone who knows u very well; someone we share our sadness n happiness with; someone who always stand by your side whenever u need someone to talk to. Best friend is different from all of our friends; they're really special person. And I thank God because I've found my best friend; Noor Khafiza in my life. I first met her when I'm in standard six (if I'm not mistaken). She's a new girl in my classroom. Frankly, I'm not so close to her at that time. There's not so much conversation between us. And I cannot remember any memories with her when we're still schooling together. When I'm in form 1, I've to follow my dad to move to Kuala Lumpur. Although I'm not so close with Fiza, I feel very sad that I'm leaving her. Surprisingly, being apart has change our relationship. Living apart from each other doesn't kill our friendship but our friendship become more strong. We start writing letters to each others. And it continue year after year. And I have a bag full of her letter that she have sent to me since 1993. And I still keep it with me until now. It was like a treasure for me. And sometimes I took my own sweet time to re-read all those letters. Reading all those letters, make me fly back to those days when we're are young and still schooling. That I wear a smile in my face, thinking and dreaming of those days; while I'm reading those letter. I don't know how we're best friend but maybe because we're same in some common things. We're both the second child among 4 siblings. We're both the capricorns; that means we share same value - loyal, creative. We're both likes to write. And now, we're both Maybankers. From 1993 to 2006, we haven't seen each other. We only communicate through all those letters. In 2006, it was the first time since 13 years back, that we finally met again. The first time the idea of meeting up came to me, I was so nervous, and yet very happy. But I was very scared too. Just imagine, both of us never seen each other for the past 13 years. For me, it's very easy to write down all your feelings and stories than to talk face to face. Finally, we met at Starbucks KLCC (with another friend of ours; Cha). It was very hard for me to start a conversation with Fiza. I feel so awkward and shy at the same time. I was so nervous like it was my first date with a guy. In my head, I just wondering whether if she like my appearance; whether she notice that I'm much more fatter than last time she saw me. All those feelings and thinking made me talk just a little. In fact, I was planning to talk and talk non-stop. But I know she'll understand why I'm very different from the one in those letters. We're now both a grown up. There's so many things that happened in our life. We have much more responsibilities to think of. Although we're not writing letters to each other now, but sometimes we communicate through SMS, Maybank memo system and also YM. But it not so often that sometimes I missed all those days when I'm reading the letter from her. I think time has change us a little. But I hope that our friendship will lasts forever...


P/S : Today is Fiza's birthday... May God bless U!

Hapus Aku

Biarlah Rahsia

Serupa, tapi tak sama...

Apakah yang membuatkan 2 benda yang sama, tapi di 2 kedai yang berlainan ianya dijual pada harga yang berbeza? Perbezaan yang aku maksudkan kat sini bukan setakat beza 1 atau 2 sen, ataupun 1 atau 2 ringgit... Jauh bezanya sampai 4 kali ganda harga di kedai lain... Haritu, aku ada dapat katalog buku dari MPH (sebab aku MPH circle member)... Sambil mencuci mata nengok katalog tu, aku berkenan nak belikan adik aku, Syafiq satu buku nih... Harga yang dicetak dalam katalog tu RM39.90... Oklah tu, taklah mahal... Hari Jumaat haritu, lepas keje aku cadang nak beli buku tu tapi kat area pusat bandar KL, mana ada MPH... Paling dekat pun, dekat Mid Valley nun... Malas pulak aku nak naik komuter... So, aku fikir kat Kinokuniya KLCC mesti ada buku tu... Waktu aku cakap dengan colleague aku nak beli buku kat sana, colleague aku cakap buku kat sana tak mahal ke? Aku cakap dengan dia kalau mahal pun, tak jauh beza... Kadang2, ada buku yang lebih murah di sana... So, dalam pukul lima lebih, aku naik Putra pegi KLCC... Sampai Kinokuniya, aku terus cari kiosk carian buku... Lepas dah tau kat seksyen mana aku dapat jumpa buku tu, aku terus mecari... Cari kat tingkat bawah, tak jumpa... aku naik pula kat tingkat atas Kinokuniya... Di bahagian Fine Art, aku jumpa buku yang aku nak beli tu... Aku terus check harga di bahagian belakang buku dan... aku ternganga, terkejut gile dengan harga yang aku nampak tu... Buku sama di MPH (RM39.90) tapi di Kinokuniya, harganya RM129.90... 4 kali ganda dari harga yang ditawarkan oleh MPH... Terus aku terfikir, betul ke harga yang aku tengok dalam katalog MPH tu? Entah2, aku silap tengok kot... Aku letak balik buku tadi tu... Niat hati tu memanglah nak beli tapi kalau dah harganya berkali-kali ganda dari di tempat lain, tak jadilah aku nak beli... Buat apa bayar lebih kalau kita boleh dapat benda yang sama pada kualiti yang sama tapi pada harga yang jauh lebih murah? Tengah hari tadi, aku buka laman web MPH... Nak pastikan semula harga buku tu... Sah, harganya memang RM39.90... So, aku terus call MPH Jusco Bukit Raja untuk tanya book availability... Mujur, buku tu ada dalam stok diaorang... Terus aku suruh reserve untuk aku buku tu... Lepas bersiap2, pukul 1 lebih tadi aku terus ke Jusco Bukit Raja... Dalam pada hanya nak beli sebuah buku, akhirnya aku terjebak membeli beberapa buah buku... Hehehe, aku kan memang gila buku!!! =) Tapi sampai sekarang aku masih tak percaya dengan apa yang berlaku... Memanglah Kinokuniya tu kedai first class tapi takkanlah jauh sangat bezanya? Semuanya kerana branding... Yang jadi mangsanya, kita sebagai pembeli...

Moral of the story : Buat perbezaan harga di beberapa kedai, pilih yang terbaik. Kuasa membeli di tangan kita!

Buku ni aku beli untuk diri sendiri... Asalnya nak beli buku terbaru Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song) dan buku Norhayati Berahim (Ranting Cinta Si Plato), tapi masih belum ada di pasaran...


Buku ni, aku beli untuk adik aku, Syafiq...



Buku ni, aku beli untuk diri aku sendiri tapi ayah dan akak aku pun boleh baca sekali... Baca sinopsis kat belakang buku, macam menarik... Ntah bila la aku akan start baca... Buku yang aku pinjam kat KL Library pun tak habis2 baca lagi... Asyik lanjutkan tarikh pinjaman je... =)



Buku ni, aku cadang nak hadiahkan untuk Nolan, anak boss aku...



Inilah buku yang aku maksudkan kat atas tu... Puas hati kerana akhirnya aku dapat belikan untuk adik aku... Dia memang minat lukis cartoon... Nasib baik aku tak terus beli kat Kinokuniya...

Kereta kesayanganku...

Inilah dia kereta kesayangan aku, kereta pertama yang dibeli sendiri... Saga pun jadilah kan! Hehehe, sticker P masih jelas tertampal kat cermin depan dan belakang... Almaklum, baru tahun lepas dapat lesen... Dan yang paling sedihnya, aku tak dapat nak drive sebab mak dan ayah tak benarkan... Diaorang risau kalau berlaku perkara yang tak baik pada aku ketika memandu... Sudahnya, kereta aku tersadai gitu je kat rumah... Sekali-sekala je kereta tu aku guna kalau nak pegi klinik... Itupun klinik kat dalam taman perumahan aku je... Kalau tempat lain, mampus mak aku mesti tak bagi... Kalau kami sekeluarga nak pegi mana2, baru guna kereta aku sebab kereta ayah dah tak muat untuk kami semua... Dan kadang2, kakak aku pinjam kalau dia nak pegi jalan2 dengan suami dan anaknya... Selain tu, adik aku Azli pun selalu pinjam kereta aku... Hm, nampaknya kereta aku tu lebih banyak orang lain yang bawak... Pernah sekali je aku drive sorang2 dari Klang ke KL... Itupun puas aku pujuk mak dan ayah aku... Diaorang bagi pun sebab hari tu hari Sabtu, KL tak banyak kereta, jalan tak sesak... Pernah aku bengang dengan mak aku sebab dia tak bagi aku drive, aku cakap "Lepas ni, kalau lesen mati tak payahla renew. Bukan boleh drive pun..." =( Kesian aku kan!

Aira Farihah

Aira, tidur tertonggeng pun jadi... =)

Inilah wajah yang sering dirindui oleh aku, ayah, mak dan uncle2nya... Hadirnya Aira Farihah dalam hidup kami sekeluarga memang membawa kegembiraan dan keceriaan... Dia kanak2 yang baik dan senang menjaganya kerana dia tidak banyak kerenah... Selalu ketawa dan tersenyum, bersesuaian dengan makna namanya... Jarang menangis dan kalaupun menangis cuma sekejap... Telatahnya sering membuatkan kami ketawa... Dia memang ceria dan suka menari kalau dengar lagu... Terbaru, dia suka tengok iklan TM Connect dan suka dengar lagu Through My Window... Dalam HP aku ada video iklan TM tu, kalau dia nampak HP aku mesti dia hulur kat aku mintak aku bukakan video tu untuk dia... Dan bila video tu dah habis, dia akan tekan sendiri button kat HP tu untuk ulang main semula video tu... Dia tak akan jemu tengok video tu... Lagi satu, kalau tengok TV, dia paling suka tengok iklan... Orang ramai tengok TV untuk tengok rancangan yang disiarkan tapi Aira pula lebih suka tengok iklan... Kalau TV tengah iklan dan kita tukar channel lain, dia akan ambil remote dan mintak kita tukarkan balik channel yang ada iklan tadi tu... Itu dia belum gheti tekan sendiri... Kalau dia dah tau tekan sendiri, habislah tak boleh tengok TV la gamaknya!

Selamat Tahun Baru

2010 sudah bermula... Begitu pantas masa berlalu... Diam tak diam, dah hampir sedekad kita berada di alaf 2000... Usia pun semakin bertambah... Tidak banyak perubahan yang berlaku dalam hidup aku... Ha, satu pencapaian yang baik bagi aku pada tahun 2009, akhirnya aku berjaya mendapat lesen kereta... Itupun setelah 3 kali test, huahuahua... Dan akhirnya, aku telah berjaya memiliki kereta sendiri...

Setiap tahun, aku ada buat azam tahun baru... Dan seperti selalunya, azam tahun baru tu tak terlaksana =( So, tahun ni, aku tak set apa2 azam tahun baru... Aku akan lakukan apa yang aku suka dan cuba melaksanakan impian aku... Aku akan cuba jalani hidup dengan lebih baik dan ceria... Tapi, awal2 tahun aku dah sakit, demam datang tiba2... Baru hujung tahun lepas aku cakap dengan mak, aku dah lama tak demam... Itulah, lain kali mulut tu jangan takbur!

Petang 31 Disember aritu, colleague aku sibuk tanya aku sambut tahun baru kat mana... Sambil tersenyum, aku jawab aku hanya sambut kat rumah... Aku memang tak pernah sambut tahun baru kat luar... Hari merdeka pun aku tak sambut kat luar... Bukannya nak kata yang aku ni budak baik, aku memang tak suka berada di tempat yang penuh dengan orang ramai... Aku tak tahan dengan kedaan hingar-bingar, rimas! Selalunya, waktu macam ni orang seusia aku akan berkeliaran bersama2 kawan2 dan tak kurang juga ada yang hanya berdua bersama pasangan masing2... Aku, lebih selesa lepak di rumah dalam bilik aku... Sepanjang umur aku, hanya 2 kali aku pernah berasak2 tengok konsert... Konsert Dato' Siti Nurhaliza di Bukit Jalil dan Konsert Kemuncak Akademi Fantasia Hotlink juga di Bukit Jalil, 2 konsert yang pernah aku tonton... Walaupun aku tak suka berasak2 dengan orang ramai, Pesta Buku Antarabangsa di PWTC setiap tahun tidak pernah aku kecualikan... Aku mesti pergi acara tahunan wajib aku ni walaupun orang terlalu ramai semata2 untuk membeli buku2 yang dijual pada harga yang murah... Aku memang gila buku tapi aku bukanlah bookworm atau book smart... Aku cuma membaca novel, tak kira bahasa Inggeris atau Bahasa Melayu dan cuma sesekali aku baca majalah (itupun kalau ada rencana yang menarik)... Aku juga tak suka baca majalah hiburan, malas nak amik port pasal gosip artis yang entah betul, entah tidak... Tahun lepas, banyak novel yang aku beli dan belum habis baca lagi... Entah bila aku akan habiskan baca semuanya... Tahun ni, sure koleksi buku aku akan bertambah lagi sebab aku akan pergi ke Pesta Buku Antarabangsa 2010 dan sudah pasti aku akan balik dengan berdozen2 buku... =)

Semoga tahun 2010 ni akan berjalan dengan lancar... Semoga lebih banyak pencapaian baik yang akan aku lakukan tahun ni... Semoga apa yang aku impikan akan terlaksana... Amin...

Sudah 28 da...

28 Disember 2009 aritu, genap umur aku 28 tahun... Hehehe, dah semakin tua! Dah lama aku hidup di bumi Tuhan... Syukur, aku masih diberi kesempatan dariNya untuk aku terus hidup... Hari lahir aku tiada yang istimewanya, sama seperti hari2 biasa... Aku tak pernah sambut hari lahir... Tahun lepas (2008) aku dapat hadiah novel Nicholas Sparks (The Lucky One) dari mak... Tahun ni, aku harap akan dapat hadiah novel Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song) tapi takde orang yang hadiahkan untuk aku... Nampaknya, aku kenalah beli sendiri novel tu... Aku tak terima sebarang hadiah pun... Memang aku tak berharap pun sebab aku ni bukannya insan istimewa dalam hidup orang lain... Ucapan hari lahir yang aku terima dari keluarga dan rakan2 sudah cukup bermakna buat aku... Cuma aku sedikit sedih sebab dalam usia aku yang semakin tua ni, aku masih keseorangan... InsyaAllah, jodoh buatku akan tiba juga suatu hari nanti... Amin...
