Smiley Baby

Ok first things first, Alhamdulillah, Peachy and Abang Emil (hohoho) are safe and sound. Their house wasn't affected by the landslide tragedy in Bukit Antarabangsa, although she was one of the many people who were evacuated via climbing through the muddy slopes. Dangerous, huh? And I have some fabulous news! Which has to be kept a secret, until further notice. Hehe. Saja nak kasi gempak. Alah korang mesti boleh teka punya.

And selamat haru raya korban semua. And selamat cuti panjang Selangor people. I'm working tomorrow though. Malas lah nak cuti. Bukan nak pi mana pun. Went back to JB for hari raya. Planned to slaughter a sacrifical lembu for Emma, huhu. Sekali budget lari daa. InsyaAllah, tahun depan ada lah rezeki Emma.

Talking about Emma, I had fun showing her off last weekend. She's so much fun to be around now that she's smiling and laughing all the time. She's a happy baby, that girl. Look.

At Papa's 60th birthday dinner at Tera-Thai, JB.

At Rayyan Bubble Laundry.

But seriously, a happy ass? Too much, man. Too much.

Picture Perfect

What a Kodak moment, ey?

Argh my contacts are killing my eyes! Seriously, I fell asleep in the toilet because my eyes were too dry! Hohoho.

Crying game

I always have this sort of expectation on how I'm supposed to feel when something big happens to me. Examples:-

1st- I have always cried at weddings. Once, I attended a church wedding of mummy's friend's daughter and I cried. At both my sister's wedding I cried. So naturally I thought I'd cry at my very own, but no! Zufri did, though. Heh heh.

2nd-When I was pregnant, I cried watching Rachel giving birth. I even cried reading about birthing experiences. But did I cry when Emma was born? Hell no. I mean I did try, but if I did succeed it'd just seem so fake, kan? Haha so I went with my instinct and laughed instead and said "Hello (bukan nak kata Assalamualaikum hehe), do you remember me?". Did not shed a tear.

3rd-When Ujie said her heart broke and how she bawled her eyes out on her way to work the first time she left Maryam, I prepared myself for an all out tear fest. After all, I am (or perhaps used to be) a Drama Queen kan. But again, no. I actually felt (jangan bagitau Zufri tau!) quite relieved to be able to be on my own for 8 hours daily. But of course I can't wait to get home to be with her, but whatever. Haha kejam.

Yelah, lain orang lainlah ragamnya. But so you know, I REALLY wanted to cry at the 3 most important events of my life so far. Too bad they didn't happen. Hahaha. Happy Wednesday!

p/s : Wednesday is my most favourite day.

Happy Raya!

Assalamualaikum semua. Di hari baik bulan baik, walaupun dah 21 hari kita beraya, izinkan saya memohon segala ampun dan maaf atas segala silap dan salah yang telah diperlakukan. Sesungguhnya saya hanya insan biasa.

Ok, now to my post. Hari raya sucked! First, ada drama yang gila-gila membabitkan my stepmom and stepgranny. Malas nak cerita panjang, cukuplah aku cakap yang bapak aku tak spend hari raya eve with his new wife. Sheesh. Nak bawak diri ke kubur. wtf? But she makes a mean kuih suji, man! Seriously.

So this was my first raya with Zufri, and Emma (duh haha). When we were deciding on where to spend the 1st raya, and he decided SP, I asked him to justify his decision. Terus dia pissed off ngan aku. Hohoho. At least I can justify why I wanted to go back to JB first. Because, my part of the family save my small nucleus family, have yet to see Emma. Aku kan pantang kat SP, so sume org dah tengok Emma. Tu je. Senang kan.

2nd day raya kita balik SP pulak. Oh sangat jauh dan membazir wang, OK? And the journey home? Gawd, macam tah hape-hape. Jam gila OK! Sangat penat, walaupun bukan aku yang drive. And to top things off, Monday I start work after two whole months of lazing around. Sigh..

Banyak sebenarnya yang aku nak cerita, tapi budak2 cina depan aku ni bisinglah, plus aku perlu mengepam, dan makan, dan Zohor. Argh. Dan PC kat rumah dah rosak. Argh lagi.

Mari berbuka puasa!

On Wednesday I was no longer confined to home, hehe so we had buka puasa at Nando's One Utama. Then we bought Emma her stroller. Haha.

On Thursday plak we had a buka puasa outing at Sari Ratu, Kelana Jaya. As usual, their jus alpukat habis. Boring siot. Asal pegi jek abis. Dalam banyak-banyak kali aku pegi, sekali jek aku dapat merasakan keenakan jus avocado itu.

All the above was sponsored by this person below. Thank you very much dear beloved sister. Who is on her way to Germany as I type. On business class, no less. Oh seronoknya.

Tomorrow the usual people are having buka puasa makan-makan in Mid Valley pulak. Its been ages since I last went there. Last year the session was at Madam Kwan's and later we bowled. This time around, ada pertambahan iaitu Wan Rose and family, and I doubt we're going bowling.

Serious boring post aku kali ni. Belasah je la. Perut aku buncit la. Memula dulu lepas bersalin ok je. Abis pantang ni belasah makan ngan minum air sejuk, ambik. Argh tension. Mujurlah berat aku dah kembali ke pre-pregnancy weight. Tapi ukuran belum turun. Aku pun musykil. Oh, bontot aku dah leper, tak sepower dulu. Hahahaha. Korang tak caya tengok esok.

Salam Ramadhan

OK. I just love showing my cute baby off, hehe. So first off, some overdue pictures.

This is from when Emma was hospitalized for jaundice. The hairband was used to cover her eyes, not as a fashion accessory.

Although I did find it cute and eventually bought one for her, hehe. Muka dia juga ada sedikit sebanyak rashes, probably from my milk.

Ini dia cara penggunaan sebenar hairband tersebut. Kui kui kui, tido tebogel dan terbongkang selama tiga malam dalam air cond yang agak sejuk.

Mooooving on, this is Emma nursing hihihi. Sangat comel.

The following two pictures are of Emma sleeping. I do not know why the heck does she sleep like that! The second picture makes her look like she's dancing, kan? Ni during afternoon naps, when she's not swaddled.

Ini seorang Emma yang sangat chubby. Macam Sin Chan pun ada jugak, kan? Hohoho.

Ini masa berendoi. Habis rambut Emma ditarah-tarah sesuka hati. Kami tak cukur licin. Ikutkan aku cukur licin bagus sikit, nampak kemas. Mak Zufri tak mau. Biarlah. Dia yang sponsor sume, ikut je lah. Hahaha.

Kikiki lepas cukur jambul kena pakai bedak sejuk. Bouncer tu moyang dia yang bagi. Semoga panjanglah umurnya.

And finally, a closest to smiling picture yang sempat ditangkap.

Selamat berpuasa kepada semua. Semoga Ramadhan ini lebih baik daripada yang lepas-lepas.

My last post on giving birth

Sigh. As if FOUR nights in the hospital wasn't enough, I had to stay another THREE days last week because Emma had jaundice. Alhamdulillah everything's fine now and we're back home.

OK. So a friend of mine came visiting last weekend and get this. I was chastised by her MOTHER, commenting that "kalau duduk depan PC lama2 time pantang takut meroyan". Hmm? Meroyan is, of course, postpartum depression so I seriously do not know how spending some time on line every week will make me depressed. No offence eh Min, cuma aku perlu menyuarakan kemusykilan di minda aku.

Truth be told, I had a mild case of depression after giving birth, but that was on my 3rd day being a Mummy. Looooong time before I started surfing the web. I suddenly felt weighed down, like Emma was draining all my energy. And worrying about my stitches, and feeling uncomfortable because of the heat and all the sweating. So I just laid down and cried. For a good half an hour. Hohoho. But then everything went back to normal. I said it was mild.

Hahaha today I heard my mother in law gossiping with my next door neighbour. Dia kata dalam pantang takleh kena hujan. Then dia tanya, kuat ke meneran? D-uhh memanglah kuat meneran kan, kalau tak canne anak nak keluar tak? Tapi ibu mertuaku dengan pantasnya menjawab, tak depa kena tarik dia kluaq pasai dia takdak tenaga nak teran. Kesian.

Huh?

Ibu mertua aku ni kan, suka macam tu tau. I just shook my head in disbelief (as I tend to do a lot around her) and went back inside. Dia suka cakap macam aku ni takde tenaga lah, lemah lah, kesian lah mak dah takde, kesianlah tak reti salin pampers anak, tak reti mandikan anak. What she doesn't understand is that for everything that I do not do, is the opportunity for her to do. Mengerti enggak? And where did she get the story that I had a forceps delivery? I pushed Emma out all by myself. I had all the energy.

Oh aku tak cerita, aku amek epidural hehe. Taulah, kena induce. Tiba-tiba jek contractions dah 2 minit sekali. Tak sempat nak buat persediaan, hehe. Mungkin jika aku dikurniakan anak buat kali kedua, aku tak naklah epidural. Serious tak tau bila nak teran. Tu yang lima kali teran baru keluar tu. Siap bidan tu warning kalau dah 20 minit teran tak keluar jugak, saya panggil doktor masuk dan suami puan kena keluar. Hahaha siot je. Terus keluar si Emma tu. Siap aku teran keluar uri sekali hempap anak aku. Kihkihkih.

Kaitannya cerita aku ni. Ok, ok. I promise this shall be my last entry on giving birth. Lepas ni aku cerita pasal erm whatever else I can think of.

My Baby You..

Well hello there, the one who still reads my blog. Hoho been quite some time eh? Come, let me tell you a story.

I had an antenatal checkup (my first ever there) at Putrajaya Hospital on Tuesday, 29th July. I was to be warded that afternoon and induced (paksa beranak) the next day, and if that doesn't work out then operate lah nampaknya. Now let me tell you, any inhibitions you might have just melt away when you're in the hospital for giving birth. They inserted prostin (ubat induce) into my erm tempat beranak not once, but three frickin times ok! And not just three prostins, but six! The first time was a shock, apatah lagi the procedure was done by a male doctor (tau2 je lah, tangan lelaki kan besar). The 2nd and 3rd times was better perhaps because I was used to it. When that didn't work, I was given not one, but two sweeps untuk mempercepatkan bukaan rahim. Ah, what is a sweep eh? A sweep is where they massage your uterus to make it soft. Seriously, depa masuk tangan godok2 dalam tu. Hahaha bodoh sungguh. Why lah am I telling this story..

That was on Wednesday and Thursday. Come Friday morning, they said yay! Let's break your waterbag! So diorang pecahkan air, I was wheeled into the labour room and at 12.51 little Almas Amelia was born.

Hehe Almas means Intan you know. Amelia means aspirasi. So my baby girl grows into a gem of a girl with high ambitions and hopefully the means to reach her dreams.

Here she is.

Precious, eh?

First, BREAKING NEWS!

ADAM WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR SWALLOWING A 10SEN COIN EARLY THIS MORNING! AND I WOKE UP LATE SO I DIDN'T GO TO WORK! YAY!

So we went to Alamanda instead. Hohoho. Then I'm cooking dinner for some friends tonight. Can't wait. Hope they like what I prepared. Hope they eat meat. Well maybe except for Anies. Dia can vegetarian.

Oh and by the way, during my UM years, I stayed in jeng jeng jeng..7th College! Yay! And 7's Nadia's favourite number! Andddd I wanna have 7 kids! Not! Gila.

Quickie

Hey watsup yo? Been too long..too darn long. Here's a very quick update.

1-I'm no longer a nine-o-niner! Sold of my whitey mighty kelisa weezer about a month ago, and received myvida loca 3 weeks ago (roughly). Went car-less for a week, but wasn't really affected because when do I ever drive anyway? Zufri's very anal about me driving, for some reason. I think I'm a better driver than him, but don't we all, ey?

2-Papa got married on 11th May in some hall in Pasir Ris. I now oficially have a stepmother. Not calling her Mak, ok? It's Aunty Rani. (Banyak sangat soalan aku dapat pasal hal gelaran ni)

3-Got my hai rebonded. Yay! Hoping for manageable hair during my confinement period, hehe. Btw, just received news that I'll be berpantang here in KJ, and Zufri's mak will come here instead. Hehe. Which brings me to my next update..

4-We moved into our new (rented) house in SS5c. Yay again! Very scary having your own home. I remember telling Zufri that by moving out into our own house makes everything seem so serious, making me feel so old. Tapi bila dah pindah, biasa jek. I used to cook dinner every day, pegi pasar tani every Saturday and stuff. But last 2 weeks, Pipi came and she did all the cooking, so I took a break. Then Zufri's mak came for a whole week so I had yet another break. So sekarang dah jadi super malas nak memasak.

5-Don't you just hate it when people mess with your stuff? Like when somebody cleans up your room and basically moves everything around? And the room looks so clean your husband wants your room to be the same way everyday? And when it's not the same, he complains lain macam lah you kemas. mak kemas tak macam ni pun (?!). Ek eleh. Hehe.

6-My baby's been kicking really hard and at times you can see like waves on my tummy. Falling asleep is very uncomfortable. Sleep itself is not a bother. I hope this is as uncomfortable as it gets. Please.

Jiran aku balik kampung, sampai hari ni tak balik lagi. Diorang cuti ke besok?

I have my own CCTV

The girl who sits behind me, but facing the opposite direction in office is Chin Chin. She's really nosey, especially since I got pregnant hehe. I for one can not accept having to drink just hot/warm water all the time. Haha maybe once a week OKlah. So anyway almost everyday of last month, I'd tapau teh ais/teh o ais after having breakfast. After a few days, Chin Chin (aptly nick named CCTV hehe) tak boleh tahan dan tegur aku kerana minum air ais. Then one more time I came into the office with a stick of ice cream, and she practically shouted at me,

"U makan ais krim?"

Hohohoho. I said alah, bukan selalu. Sekali sekala saja. And that I gained only 300g the last month, so I feel I deserved the ice cream. A cornetto, no less. And you know what she said?

"Bukan selalu?! Sudah tiga kali wo I nampak u makan ais krim!"

Hahahahaha. Wtf? Bongok gila. Hahahaha. Not that I mind pun actually. It's good to have someone care about you. And I don't blame her. She miscarried at 5 1/2 months. Kesian, kan? Now she's trying again. The reason I'm blogging about CCTV is that she's resigning. Sob sob, my er sort of only friend on my floor's resigning. Sob sob. Who am I gonna get the latest gossip from? Darn.

Oh but the reason she's resigning is much much more controversial than any other office gossip. Apparently, everyone else in the company got a raise, except for her and us new, yet to be confirmed people. And the reason she didn't get a raise? Because she's planning to have a baby! Belum lagi pregnant sudah didiskriminasi, apatah lagi golongan wanita mengandung seperti aku? Kata bos, kerana aku mengandung, aku tiada banyak kerja jadi kenapa harus confirmkan aku? (They extended my probation period for another six months). The only thing I'm worried about is that maternity leave only applies to confirmed staff. So how?

CCTV's leaving because she feels bullied. I can't leave now. I mean, who'll take in a pregnant woman? Very stressful, I tell you. So now I've taken to staying back most days to show my "co-operation to get my work done".

Bleurgh. Ikutkan hati, aku resign besok sekali dengan CCTV. But not yet. Later maybe. Bodoh punya boss.

Can't really be bothered lah sebenarnya. Hehe. Berdoalah agar aku confirm dalam masa 3 bulan ni. Please. Hehe.

On a slightly different topic, I'm having my 4th antenatal checkup this Wednesday. Seriously tak sabar nak tunggu, hohoho. I'm turning 6 months next tuesday. 3 more months to go! Semoga confirm segera. Amin.

Nasib baik free

Watched 'The Tattooist' the other day, courtesy of red.fm hahaha. Mula2 masa cue to sms tu aku smslah, tak sangka pulak aku menang. Dia call, tapi aku cancel call tersebut, haha. Pengecut nak mampos. Tapi dia announce jugak sebagai pemenangnya. Kitorang pun pegi naik monorail, pasal dekat GSC Pavillion.

Nobody offered me a seat in the LRT! Honestly, these people. Ughh. I could never catch their eye because everyone seemed to concentrate either on their handphones or at their reflection on the err cermin tingkap. Sheesh. Those who weren't diverted their eyes as soon as we made contact. Huh. Sudahlah. Tunggulah nanti korang mengandung mcmana. Korang tu hari-hari naik LRT pegi kerja.

Baru real beb

Hello helloooooo. Been having really tiring days lately. Balik kerja pergi rumah sewa buat apa-apa yang patut, balik rumah Kak Yen, lepak, buat kerja freelance pulak lepas tu tidor. And the cycle begins again the next morning. Serius memenatkan, tapi aku kuat! Hohoho.

Tummy's quite big now, but I reckon that I don't look like I'm 5 months already. Everything's just going smoothly now. Ada kerja freelance, ada overtime. Bolehlah save duit untuk beli barang-barang rumah. What with our new home and new car on the way hahaha. Aku dah give up dah. Tak kuasa aku nak call bank merayu-rayu mintak bagi aku loan. Kereta lama aku pun elok lagi apa.

So anyways, aku kena inject on Wednesday and it's still sore. Can't even sleep on my left side. What lah. Oh, this Saturday we're driving up to Ipoh for breakfast. Hahahaha. Can't wait! Real Ipoh White Coffee.

Resipi Mami.

Lupa pulak nak brag. Semalam aku masak jeng jeng jeng nasi tomato berlaukkan ayam masak merah! Woo hoo. Zufri, who's my harshest critic, said the chicken was delicious, but the nasi needs more flavour.

Anyway I've changed. I used to be very hard headed and sulked whenever anyone commented on my cooking, especially mr food critic lah kan. Tapi seriously, sejak 2-3 minggu lepas ni memang aku dah banyak berubah. Tidak lagi terlalu sensitif dan defensive. Baguslah.

Watever.

Nope. Don't think so.

Does every stage in life have a club? When you're engaged, people say welcome to the engaged people club! Then welcome to the married peoples' club! Welcome to mothers' club! Aik, welcome to the big tummies club pun ada?

I never applied for a membership so please don't welcome me to such clubs.

Sheesh.

Still in love with Neo?

My heartfelt condolence goes to Anies, for the loss of her windshield mirror. Kereta itu seriously takde ong dengan dia. Patut kau mintak duit kat bangla tu, suruh pegi repair keta hang. Ada ke hang pulak kena bayaq duit kat dia. Sapa suruh dia naik basikal lintas NPE? Mabuk betullah.

p/s : Tadi gua banyak keja. Boleh claim OT. Hahaha. Besok juga. Oh and btw, tadi apukul 8:30 malam aku balik jalan kaki sambil hujan sedikit-sedikit. Lepas tu sampai rumah makan maggi. Sorang-sorang.

Huwaaaaa!!!!! Sedihnya!!!!!! Antara percaya atau tidak bagi korang, aku menangis separuh jalan, pasal aku tak sangka Zufri biarkan (malahan dia yang cadangkan) aku balik jalan kaki sorang-sorang malam-malam. Separuh jalan lagi aku rasa sangat bengang.

Hahaha boleh p/s kat tengah-tengah cerita? Hohoho. Good luck to Anies. I wish I could help with cash, but I don't have any to spare lah babe.

100 yang pertama

Y'know, bukan aku malas nak buat kerja. Aku siap tanya-tanya orang lagi ada ke kerja yang aku boleh tolong buatkan. C'mon. I've been doing the same remeasurement for the same building since December! Dah tiga bulan, takkan lah tak siap-siap lagi, kot? Lepas tu, bila aku dah takde keja, takkan aku nak melanguk duduk kat ofis sampai pukul 6.00 kot. Dah time aku balik, aku balikla. Aku bukan masuk 8.30 lepas tu lepak breakfast pukul 9.00 baru start keja. Aku breakfast kat rumahla. Aku sampai awal, aku balikla awal. Janganla nak tengok aku dengan pandangan serong. Padan muka. Kedekut sangat kerja. Hohoho. Stupid.

Anyway, the election results sure came as a shock, ey? Baguslah. Hopefully baguslah. Malaslah cerita politik. I'm not that well wersed pun. Nak tau apa-apa tanya Kak Peachy, hohoho. Nanti Anies upload video dia bagi ceramah politik kat kedai Kak Yen. Oh speaking of which, Kak Yen's laundromat started operations today. Congratulatios to Anies (f-loser) for being their first customer.

If you ever go to Gasing Heights punya area, from Pantai Dalam look to your left after Petronas until you spot a fuschia coloured shop. Rayyan Bubble Laundry. Cheap cheap.

And....I felt my baby kick me for the first time today, hohoho. Sangat terharu dan rasa seperti ingin menangis. Tapi tak profesional lah kan menangis di ofis. Kasihan sang Zufri ketinggalan moment tersebut.

Wah. Way past my bedtime already. See y'all later.

Back from the dead

Haha with the way things were going, I'd have thought posting 100 posts would've been a piece of cake. Guess I spoke too soon, huh? Hasn't been that long pun, just a few days short of a month. Hohoho. So a lot happened since then.

First of all, I'm pregnant. Hohoho. According to the doctor's calculations, I'm 5 1/2 months but since we're smarter than the doctor we decided that I'm just 4 months along. Hehe. Alhamdulillah I have no morning sickness apa segala, dan selera makan pulak bukan berkurangan malahan bertambah-tambah.

Secondly, we found a cute little house just 10 minutes away from my office. Hopefully we can move in next week.

Thirdly, we're thinking of changing our car to an *ehem* myvi but the stupid bank mempertikaikan kenapa aku tak bayar ptptn aku lagik. Sungguh wtf. Kalau macam ni lah perangai, baik aku tak payah tukar kereta. Aku buat loan pun akan membantu kau juga, kan. Sheesh.

Fourth, we're going on our first holiday, we'll sort of holiday this weekend. Sad, huh? Hahaha. And to Penang pulak tu! AND it's a family day! Wakakaka. What a holiday, huh?

And that's what I've been doing the past month. Hahaha what a life, man.

Oh mood nak menulis sebenarnya masih tiada. Nanti bila aku sudah mendapatkan mood itu aku akan menulis kembali ya. Chow!

I'm doing OK

Hey..3 minggu lamanya aku mendiamkan diri. I'm now in JB for the long weekend. Something major is happening tomorrow, and I'm pretty nervous about welcoming a total stranger into the family. Hopefully everything'll be fine.

Work's been the same. Can't complain. Can't praise, either. I don't feel I'm growing professionally. And I didn't get a pay rise or even a bonus. Sigh. Well at least I'm doing less job for more money, plus more time in the morning and after work, hee hee. Doesn't matter that I don't go out that much anymore.

I'm thinking of having a small get together with close friends for my birthday in two weeks, and I'm trying to think of a suitable menu. I'd welcome all kinds of suggestions, but preferably nothing like kari or asam pedas or gulai or anything like that because I truly suck at cooking food like that. I'd take ages, and something will surely go wrong. For dessert I can bake a cake and make some agar-agar. Maybe some alfredo for the main course and if nak local food, then sambal ikan ke, daging ke. Chewah. Ye ye je. Tengokla macamana. Apa-apa nanti aku inform korang ye.

So alritey then. Happy New Year and have a pleasant holiday!

Heath Ledger

My God! I didn't know Heath Ledger died until today! He's so young, dying at 28.

I loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You. Sigh. Sure gonna be strange, huh watching the new Batman movie? Sure laku.

Selamat Hari Thaipusam

I'll be shifting downstairs tomorrow. I don't think my new work station enables me to log on to the internet. Do not expect regular updates, please. Beacuse I hate to disappoint my fans. Heh heh. I know tomorrow's a holiday, but I don't feel like moving today. Tomorrow is a much much more auspicious day. For the hindus lah.

I wonder what it'd be like downstairs. Will I lose contact with my friends up here? Will they even remember me? Well at least I'll be seated very near the stairs. Again.

I just finished episodes 1-5 Season 4 of Grey's Anatomy. Can't wait to finish season 4 and proceed to heroes before catching ANTM Cycle 9. Apa lagi ek ada. Oh Brothers & Sisters Seasons 1&2. Yang ni aku tak terjebak lagi. Tak taula menepati citarasa aku atau tak. Tak pernah dapat follow pun dekat TV. I reckon I'll finish watching everything hopefully by my birthday. Haha shamelessly reminding everyone of my birthday.

I'm not feeling as tired and as sleepy as the past few days, and I just realized why. Because I'm an Aquarius, and starting from yesterday I was in my element. Haha.

Happy holiday!

I'm a wiggly wiggly wack

I should be going to a valuation tomorrow. Remember the 42 storey building that I visited floor by floor minus the elevator? Sakit lutut akak. So I went to see Miss Tang and wiggled myself out of the task. Afterall, A-fai & Chin Chin's already going so why bother? Anyway it's not as if they spread the work so everything gets done faster, we go everywhere together! Boy, playing the pregnant lady card is so much fun! Chin Chin yang suruh tak payah pergi pun anyway. Wakaka. TQVMucho.

I was awe struck by the superb performances I saw yesterday. They have certainly gone a long way since my time, and their budget is much much bigger nowadays. My (ex)college was placed third, both for the Tarian Asli and Tarian Kreatif. Esok nak pergi tengok pop band pulak. Haha.

Today for breakfast I made sardin in cheese pita. Teramatlah lazatnya. Did I already tell you that I spend practically nothing everyday? I mean, I sometimes walk to work so I save on parking walaupun hanya RM2.00. I have breakfast at home, so I save around RM4.00. And I tapau my breakfast as both a snack and lunch so I save yet another RM5.00. So instead of spending RM11.00 everyday, I spend on RM1.60 on milo ais when I reach the office kerana sangat haus oi berjalan ke tempat kerja.

Sebenarnya aku taklah tergila-gilakan sangat berjalan ke ofis segala ni. In fact, I was prepared to drive to work today. Butttttt.....my sister lost the car keys, and I can't take the other car because it's blocked by the keyless car. Sighh..aku start jalan pukul 8:25 tadi. Haruslah sampai lewat.

About the lunch yesterday kan, lupa nak cakap yang rasanya amatlah melazatkan. In fact, I think I had two helpings. I took two portions of the fish head dan aku sebat udang dan sotong sampai habis.

And my best friend got pregnant. Haha now what are the odds of that ever happening?!

What we had for lunch.

Kak Peachy cooked for us today and she's practically typing out this post for me, hehe. So here are the photos of what we had.

Fish head curry.

Sotong goreng & Kobis air

Ikan goreng, udang goreng & telur masin.

Then I had 3 cans of Coke and some Tim Tams, layan internet, pinjam hard disk yang super penuh dengan goodies that will last me a month of night hibernation dan amek handbags.

Wakakaka. Itu pasal tak boleh pegi rumah Kak Peachy selalu, pasal nanti loots tak banyak. Kumpul banyak-banyak baru best. Rasa macam baru balik shopping, padahal baru balik rumah dia.

Malam ni ada tarian kreatif. Yay!

Tick Tock

Omigod. Ever noticed how slow time moves when you're crazy sleepy and counting minutes till lunch time? Ngantuk nyaaaaaa!!!!

A-ha! I think I'll go sleep in the toilet.

Boria Za'ba

Yep. I know I said one month. But this is so dumb, I just need to share it with y'all.

Selasa haritu aku ngan Anies pegi tengok boria fest. seni kat DTC. Aku biasa je la tapi of course Anies sangat semanagt, pasal dia otai boria (kononnya lah).

Daripada dulu, sampai la ni (sketsa boria kena speaking utara) aku tak tau awatlah sketsa 7 macam haram. Bodoh piang. Kitorang duduk dalam kawasan penyokong kolej lawan, tapi sebelum start tu kitorang sorak gak gila-gila. Malu uih. Pasal sangat bangang. Lepas tu dia punya step boria nya pun macam taik kongkong. Lepas kitorang selidik, rupanya budak-budak tu buat step dan lagu sendirik. Dahlah ada intermission yang takde kaitan langsung dengan lagu!

Sangat buruk. Sangat memalukan. Sangat bangang. Sangat jijiks. But we had fun laughing like mad at the dancers.

Aku suka 9 punya sketsa, pasal diorang dari dulu memang sangat kelakar. 2nd pulak buat sketsa yang sama, year after year. Ada mak sorang, anak tiga orang. Sorang mat rempit, sorang amek dadah, sorang lagik jadik pondan. Lepas diorang ni sume pakai lagu dan koreografi yang sama je every year, so diorang polish jek lah diorang nya step.

Kesimpulannya, tahun depan pegilah tengok boria time festival seni because even if the performances suck, at least you still get a good laugh out of it.

Jumaat nak pegi tengok tarian asli pulak. Kali ni pegi ngan dancers pulak, Dayang & Alif (tapi takleh nak kutuk pasal Alif & Dayang amek serius. How boring)

I NEED A BREAK

I heard this old story before,with the people keeping calling for the metaphors,that don't leave much up to the imagination,so i wanna give this imagery back,but i know it ain't just so easy like that,so i turn the page and read the story again and again and again.. Sure seems the same with a different name,we're breaking and rebuilding, and we're growing always guessing.

Never knowing,shocking but we're nothing. We're just moments,we're clever but clueless,we're just human..
Aamusing and confusing. We're helping rebulding and we're growing. Never know.

Sila kembali dalamasa 1 bulan.

Fine. If that's how you wanna do it.

Why did she say 'akhirnya' aku kawin juga? Is the akhirnya necessary? Kenapa akhirnya? Adakah kerana umur aku dah mencecah 35 dan baru berkahwin? Ataupun kerana aku sudah bercinta dengan Zufri selama 10 tahun? Oh, atau mungkinkah aku memaparkan gambar-gambar 18sx kami berdua dan perkahwinan adalah jawapan kami kepada masalah kemaksiatan yang kami hadapi?

No no no. None of the above. I'm only 25, we've been together for only 4 years and I don't parade my love life for others to see. So why such a statement? And why am I making such a big fuss about that statement? I have absolutely no idea why. Just sort of pisses me off. I get pissed off easily nowadays. Especially to Zufri. Kesian.

Oh well. Back to JB for the (long) weekend.

ps:I have a new breakfast routine nowadays. Now I eat my breakfast at home, while catching the first season of the O.C. on ch 711 (8:00-9:00). Usually half of it because I drive to work at 8:30, but today I watched the whole thing and ended up clocking in at 9:15! So I have to go home only at 6:15. Hahaha. The O.C! I'm hooked!

ps2:Congratulations Nannoor. Baby kau sangat comel!

Ingat aku tak tau sapa baca blog aku?

I've been working at this new company for 3 months, and we've had company lunches and dinners close to a dozen times, the last one being today! 3 more people are leaving, and they treated us to nasi ayam Ayamas. People keep coming and going, here. At my previous company, makan beramai-ramai ni biasanya 3-4 kali jek setahun. Sekali time buka puasa beramai-ramai, sekali masa birthday salah satu bos (biasanya Prof. Basar), satu jamuan meraikan trainee yang habis praktikal, dan lagi satu untuk staf yang berenti (yang ni tertakluk pada keadaan).

Hehe semalam time siap-siap nak pergi kerja, aku potong lagi fringe aku ni. Sekali terpotong terpendek, dan terbanyak sangat! Wakakaka. Bongoks sungguh. Tapi taklah sependek Pheobe (Charmed) pada satu ketika. Hehe.

I'm thinking of doing something to my hairlah, but what yeah? Dah 2 tahun rambut aku macam ni saja. Give me some suggestions lah. Apa-apa jua.

Cepat-cepat tau. Aku tunngu suggestion dari korang. Kalau takde suggestion jugak, aku call sorang-sorang. Ingat aku tak tau sapa baca blog aku? Hahahaha.

Have a nice weekend!

Post yang berbau politik.

Shocking yeah the news about Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek? I mean, to end such an otherwise impeccable career over such a scandal. For me, it's not such a big problem. His personal life is his personal life lah. A leader is still human, after all.

Geez how I struggled to complete that first paragraph! I'm so not a current affairs writer, hehe. I need to brush up on my politics and general knowledge. Masalahnya bila berbincang dengan orang pasal politik ni, diorang suka sangat conspiracy theories. Ada saja konspirasi itu dan konspirasi ini. And all the talk about this connection and that connection. And name dropping! What's up with that? Oh, Dato' ni dan Datin ni. Eurghh.

And then there are of course people who think they know everything, and always have an opinion about whatever. Like yesterday I was told by someone not to drink air kelapa. "Hek eleh. Apahal lak takleh minum air kelapa?", was my exact reply, hehe. Pasal air kelapa tajam. Huh? Ada ke bukti-bukti saintifik yang menyokong ayat anda? Never heard that one before. But then again, I don't know a lot of the old pantang larang tok nenek. Jangan makan watermelon lah, jangan makan nenas lah, jangan tu lah, jangan ni lah. Kalau aku tanya kenapa kan, mesti orang kata makanan tu tajam. Tajam mendenye?

Ngarut siot pantang-pantang larang ni. Ish tak relevan langsung kisah-kisah aku ni.

Anyway, besok dah hari Jumaat! Yay!

01/01/2008

Ya ampun! Oh lordy lordy lordy! I just remembered that yesterday was my sister's birthday! Y'know, the one I'm staying with? I KNOW! I'm getting more and more forgetful lah now.

We have this tradition of calling each other up on birthdays at the stroke of midnight, not only to wish happy birthday, but to sing a birthday song complete with asking how old are you nowwwwww. And of course the birthday girl/boy would have to sing back (regardless of where they are) I'm 59 tooodaayyyy! And I totally forgot all about it!

Arghhhh!!!! I remember my birthday during my 3rd year, urmm, in 2004. I was at mapley 223 with anies and 7th futsal team together with Zufri. Tiba-tiba Kak Peachy datang bawak cake, then nyanyi ramai-ramai kat mapley. Wakakakaka. Tau jek lah orang-orang yang pegi tempat tu orang yang bagaimana. Gerenti kitorang mendapat kutukan yang kaw-kaw. Anyway, tu pun pasal mummy paksa. Hahaha.

So anyway, berbalik to Kak Yen, bukan saja tu. Semalam pun merupakan anniversary dia yang ke 3. Arghhh. How do I tackle this problem ey? Dahlah last year I even forgot Zufri's birthday. Is this a sign that nobody's going to remember my birthday?! Oh nooooooooo!!!!!!!

House-hunting again!

The new year started with a disappointment. I'm relieved actually, Zufri's diappointed. We went to see the house on Sunday, after Shirot's wedding. It was huge! Well in my humble opinion lah. I was quite reluctant, because the rent is RM950, but for a double storey I suppose it's cheap lah kan? I know, you must be thinking but why lah do you need a double storey house? Keluarga kecik je kecoh. Pasal, single storey houses are rented out at a minimum of RM1,000! Boleh tak? Where's the logic in that?

We were actually trying to come up with the deposit (3+1 OK! RM3,800! Gila ke nak deposit banyak-banyak?). Sekali yesterday as we passed "our" house, we noticed that the phone number's taken down and worse, some stranger was cleaning the house up! Sigh..

So back to house-hunting! I wish I could afford to just buy a house. Rent's just way too high here.

Anyway, how was your new year celebration? I was already asleep, but I woke up at 11:50, headed downstairs only to find the boys watching X-Men. Then when the fireworks started, the boys went bakar mercun pulak outside. So I got to see the fireworks on TV, but still hear the loud sounds live. Hahaha. Bongoks.

Alritey folks. Have fun!

Oh. And I love Britney's new single, Piece Of Me. Hahaha.
