Post wedding reception

last nights was my SIL's reception at Dewan Perdana - the boys side. she looked pretty and much older. it started late... hhmmm... but what ticked me off was i wasnt allowed to see Mr. Hubby who was taking photos in the changing room. so irritating!! i mean its not like she's getting ready. she's all made up.. seeing Mr. Hubby was an excuse to see my SIL before she goes down. uurrgghhhh! but its not my wedding or our side pun.. so i cant say much..

went back to the hall... and waited. the pelamin the used was the one i wanted. it was pretty... i SOOO jealous! anyhow, my other SIL was telling me that she was also halau-ed from the changing room and she is the SISTER... i nie takpelah... sister-in-law je whateverlah kan...

food was alright.. finished with the whole thing at 11pm and they poco-poco... huhuhu... it was fun. of course, yours truly participated! tiring but a lot of fun... ive got photos to proof but will upload it later. its from Mr. Hubby's camera pun..

we (Mr. Hubby and I) left at about 1.30pm.. he wanted to pose shots of his sister and i as the dutiful wife waited...

so... done deal!

tonight... i am going to redang!! yay!! i cant wait! wish me a safe journey and back and i promise to tell the stories of redang...

oh yeah... which reminds me to buy an underwater camera!!

sick - Part 3 The Reception

Sunday – 20 April

Went to Concorde Shah Alam at 11ish. Sab and my sister came later… did the rehearsal. Had lunch at Secret Recipe, seksyen 9. and then, we went around looking for fresh flowers. You would think Shah Alam being a huge area would have fresh flowers… No, they don’t. Oklah, I’ll give a little credit. Minimal. Or maybe I don’t know where to look. I was suppose to get hydrangeas and white lilies… but I ended with pink lilies only. So takpelah…

Ohhh… the room we got was really nice. It was a bridal suite.. they arranged pink and red rose petals on the bed and more flowers petals in the tub. We also had the usual fruits and *champagne* a.k.a sparkling grape juice (which was finished by the boys.. ).

I rested for a bit and got up to wear my contacts. I wore green contact lens from FreshLook… I had trouble putting them on… so tiring k. The make-up artist came late. She was ex-TV3 make up artist. She was late… I was already fidgety coz SIL’s makeup artist, Su Cantik came at 5.30pm and mine came at about 6.30pm! Did my make up… and she took her time! I thought I would be able to wear my baju by 8pm but noooo…. She only start with my hair at 8pm.. gile lambat k! by the time, she wanted to put the lilies, it was semi-wilted. Since, I couldn’t get mad at her.. I was angry at everyone else. Even at Mr. Hubby coz he didn’t want to wear his baju properly.

Traditionally, his sampin must have this bunga which goes with the tanjak and jacket. Oleh kerana die malas and no one to do it for him in our room, he wanted to wear his sampin the normal way. I almost blew my head off!!! My mom was there to kononnyer calm me down. Didn’t help. Thankfully, his mom forced him too and made Su Cantik’s assistant to do it for him.. Mr. Hubby came back to the room looking very dashing… melted my heart in an instant!

I was finally ready close to 8.45pm… but not before a little more drama… I wore black bra with my white baju. WRONG MOVE! I know that now. I thought the bra strap wouldn’t peek… but it did. So we had to pin the corset to the bra so that the corset won’t drop to show my bra strap… its not actually my bra strap but the place where you can unhook the bra strap from the bra. Hhaiisshhh…

Got down… started to feel nervous! Nothing much about the reception except that everything went well. It ended at about 10.15pm… as informed by Sab. we took photos and by the time we got back to the room it was about 12.30 am..

I am so glad that it is finally over but I’ll definitely miss being pampered and made up like a princess… hhmmmmm

sick - Part 2

Thursday – 17 April

Woke up rather early for orang sakit.. 9ish. Showered. Went down to have breakfast – Milo and toast. I was having gastric pains already so I knew I needed to eat… waited for FIL to come back with bread. Then makan while watching TV. I tried to be active – fight the sickness.. konon nyerlah but I didn’t work. By lunch, I was upstairs feeling very lethargic and tired.. then, in-laws went out for lunch and got me nasi campur. I couldn’t really eat it coz it was pedas but I ate it anyway coz I asked for it and I was super hungry. After lunch, titon (read: sleep).. woke up feeling lousy.. you know what… I cant even remember whether I showered or not that day. I don’t think I did. But I do remember going to the toilet byk kali… I went like 4 times which is pretty unusual for me coz on normal circumstances I go like once every 2 days. But i slept throught he night fine…

Friday – 18 April

Went to the toilet as soon as I woke up. Then I decided to go to the clinic with or without Mr. Hubby. He slept really late the night before… I mean morning. He slept at 5.30am to do SIL montage. But I woke him up anyway… I showered quickly and rushed to the clinic thinking that the clinic opened at 8am. But it wasn’t. So, hung out at Mamak Bistro and by 8.30am, the clinic opened. Registered myself and waited. And waited… waited more. I was getting restless coz we were supposed to go to KL to do our henna and MIL wanted to leave at 9am. So guess what time the doctor finally came in? 9.15 am!! I registered second but I was the 4th person to go in. hhmmppffff!!! Consultation was around 5 mins… doctor diagnosed with stomach flu pulak because I was having diarrhea and gastric pains at the same time. He said with gastric, you don’t go to the toilet. I pun oklah. He gave me 2 types of diarrhea pills…

Went back home and got my things and rushed to KL. Went around looking for the henna place.. found it after a little bit of drama… and got our henna done. After that, went to my office to pick my baju for SIL’s nikah. Anyway, my colleague was supposed to wait for at the entrance but she wasn’t done with her prayers yet when I arrived so I had to rush up to the office. With my baju buruk, looking sick and dry henna on hands. By the time, I got back to the car, I was super tired… actually more like ‘pancit’. I had difficulty breathing by the time I got home. I just rushed up to sleep.

But I couldn’t sleep coz I was having chest pains and felt very nauseaous. Finally, I vomited… I felt better… I took my medication. Anti vomiting and all and sleep. Woke up almost magnrib… had to pick up my baju from Jedan with Mr. Hubby. But I wasn’t up for it stil… pening and nauseaous… after Mr. Hubby left. I vomited again… in fact, I think twice before he got home. I was feeling really horrible and weak. I vomited water and my medication. I always a little better vomiting but only like for 10 mins after that, I’ll get my chest pains and nausea again. I couldn’t tahan anymore… went to the clinic again. A different one coz the one I went previously was closed. Darn it! the doctor didn’t give any new medication but just told me that I was supposed to take my anti vomiting pills 1 hour before food. Before I had been taking it like 5 to 10 mins before food… patutlah…

So I went home. Took the medication at 11pm. At about 12am, Mr. Hubby woke me up to eat something… I think I had a quarter of the square-fiber biscuit. Then, tido!

I got a confession to make… before I went to the clinic or was it after, I cant remember. Ohhh, it was before coz my family was at Abolfadz wedding. Anyway, I called nak cite sedih-sedihlah coz I was really sick and all… and I ended up crying.. huhuh.. **shy** my mom said she was gonna come by after the wedding but she didn’t coz I was already asleep when they finished the wedding..

Saturday – 19 April

SIL’s nikah day. I was feeling a little better albeit the once-in-a-while gastric pains. I woke up early and the first thing I did was to take my anti-vomiting medication. Showered quickly and packed my make-up stuff… hahah.. I still have to look good, right?? Anyway, I dropped by my mum’s house which is on the way to Dewan Perdana. I asked my mom to toast bread and make hot tea for me.. saying mummy!! That’s all I could it and that was all I had the whole day pun. Sucky kan! Everyone else had the Dewan Perdana food which was nice… seriously. It smelled delicious…

The nikah went well… I sat near my mummy… heheh… manaj-manja lah konon. Plus I didn’t know anyone else anyway. After that, SIL and new-BIL and Mr. Hubby went to Masjid Wilayah for a photoshoot. But I went home… my house with SIL. After that, balik rumah Subang. I cant remember what I did. I think i rested and then I tried my baju for the next day. I think I slept… hhmmm… I slept a lot… -_-

I remember now… we went back to my house at abt 10ish coz Mr. Hubby wanted to burn DVD. So while he did that… I got ready for bed. And while he was waiting for it to burn, die pun tido. Somehow, it took a long while to burn… like 2 hours plus.. by 1 or 2 am… it was only 31% done. So, Mr. Hubby decided to go home and let it run and for my sister to bring it over the next day.

Being sick - Part One

This is gonna be one very long entry which I will categorized by days… here goes

Tuesday – 15 April

I continued with the diet but I ngelat a bit. I didn’t follow it through and through… I couldn’t! I was hungry… but I didn’t take anything else besides the said menu. But my sister did it through and through… she ate everything on the menu. I salute her!

It rained so heavily that evening… I got really wet. I could have waited but I really wanted to go back early so I braved through the storm… mcm drama je kan… heheh.. and even under the umbrella, I got wet coz rain was seeping through the umbrella. Time to get a new one!

Then, balik subang.. crashed in early coz I had a headache…

Wednesday – 16 April

Woke up at about 5.30am (I asked Mr. Hubby later that morning what I woke him) to switch off the air-cond, it was freezing.. anyhow, I woke later.. and had fever… uuuhhh… mengambil kesempatan to sleep in and take MC. A brave and bold thing for me to do.. The thing is about me is that I can never fake an MC. I never tried anyway. Its not I’m a goody-two-shoes but I always believe that you shouldn’t go around ask for trouble i.e. sickness.

But in this case, I was sick.. my body was aching all over, so I slept until Mr. Hubby came back home to bring me to the clinic.. so sweet kan! And guess how I waited at the clinic???!!! Almost AN HOUR k!!!! I didn’t even sit in the clinic coz the chair was hard and very uncomfortable and it is even more uncomfortable coz my body was aching all over!! So I stayed in the car which was only slightly better than the clinic… thank god I didn’t faint in the car.. I was so hungry but I didn’t have strength to call Mr. Hubby.. seriously tak larat k!

So the doctor diagnosed me of viral fever! So I went back home and had minuscule and slept… like a log until evening when Mr. Hubby came home.. then sleep summore.. by then, I started getting gastric pains. I cant remember much of the night…

Oh! And then there was an issue of not getting antibiotics… went back to the clinic that same night – 1. to get MC for the next day and 2. to get antibiotics if possible. What I got was only the MC. No antibiotics coz I didnt have an infection or sore throat.

Continue tomorrow k!

mondays...

Today is second attempt with the 10lbs diet… morning menu was okay. Grapefruit and toast with peanut butter. But lunch menu… its tuna and toast… hhmmm.. I feel a little queasylah eating plain tuna. So I had probably half of it. I couldn’t stomach anymore... rase nak muntah!! What im gonna is to follow the diet menu closely… if I cant take the food, I’ll skip it. But I wont substitute and take anything extra. Huhu… that’s the idea!

We’ll see what actually happens!

Anyway… if you guys wanna try it

My weekend was okay. I went for my fitting… and thankfully I could still fir into my baju. I am proud to say that I have not put on weight since my wedding… In fact, Mr. Hubby and MIL said that the Jedan (owner kedai baju tu…) said that he had to besarkan around my hips… but now tak payah! Yay! I know I’m blowing my own horn but I don’t care…

So why am I going on the diet, you ask?… saje...!

Come to think of it… why should I go through all the trouble lah kan… but I think I have to. You see, I have a problem with my tummy. I get bloated a.k.a buncit very easily! Even after one meal… I can see and feel the ‘buncitness’ !!! Very gerams ok!


So that’s that… the reception is this weekend! Sunday to be exact! SIL’s nikah is on Saturday… loads to do!!

this is me during my nikah.. photo thanks to Antie Yayah!

scary blood test!

So today... I set another milestone (another??.. ye ke).. I went for my FIRST ever blood test! I have never done it before and just do know I’m really scared of injections... actually that’s putting it rather mildly.. I am TERRIFIED!!! Seriously! I would do anything to get away from injections.. when I was in Bali kan I had gastric.. I was suppose to receive a jab for it.. but I ask the doctor, is it possible to do away with the injection? He said yes. Take the tablet.. the effect of the tablet kicks in a few hours after the injection.. takpelah.. I sanggup bear the pain instead of going through with the injection!

Like just now.. I could have done it yesterday but I didn’t. pengecut! so, I made Mr. Hubby teman me this morning to do the clinic. I was okay while waiting but when they called my name.. I got scared. Then, when I sat in the doctor’s office.. and she took my arm… I become superscared. Seriously.. berape kali tah I asked her to wait.. let me cool down first.. I think 3 – 4 times.. I was shaking. But in the end, the doctor pulled my arm. Asked me to squeeze this squeezy thingy and to look away, lean back and relax. hahah... I did neither. I did squeeze that thing but only coz I was scared. Mr. Hubby said I was shaking.. the hand that kena the injection tu.. I didn’t lean back... or relaxed. I leaned into Mr. Hubby and squeezed his hands… takut giler kay..

But actually it didn’t hurt much.. just a little.. but because of my paranoia.. it went bonkers! After that, on the way down (clinic was on the 17th floor), I cried in the lift. I guess I tak sempat cry during the whole ordeal coz I was too scared., I cried after that.. shheeeesshhh.. I just wanted to check whether I have taken rubella jab when I was a kid. Sangat menyesal lari from the nurses back in school k.

I hope the results comes back positive for rubella.. which means I don’t have to take rubella shot and I can get preggy anytime I want. If it’s negative, then I have to take the rubella shot which means I can NOT conceive within the next 6 months AND I have to be on the pill just o make sure that I DON’T get preggy. After the 6 months, I could probably only conceive 2 months later due to the pill effect! Sedih k... just when I want to get preggy somewhat soon... this comes up.. dugaan Allah! I suppose we have to take it all in stride and hope for the best!

Wish me luck! I will only know results next Tuesday!

10lbs - Day 2

Ok... I wanted to blog about my diet yg tak jadi yesterday. I was happily writing about it, so when it came time to publish. Hang!!! PC or internet hang..!!Boleh hang!!! When I refresh.. all gone!!! Darn it!! So, the malas-ness came over.. so I decided to ditch blogger for the day..

I’m ok now.. so about the diet.. in summary... I didn’t continue coz my colleague who introduced the diet to us, said that if u really want to lose the weight, you have to do it by the book (or paper..) u MUST measure everything correctly and no cheating.. I cheated a little... I couldn’t take the beetroot, so I decided to skip it and have only the ice cream and apple (which is also part of the menu k..) so she said to start over. Yay!!... I was happy girl yesterday... as soon as she said that, I was already thinking of my soursop gelato at KLCC.. yummy!!! And im gonna start over next week on Monday!! Heheh... her sister (my colleague’s sister) lost 10kgs okay! so it does work.. I was kinda skeptical about the whole thin but maybe its becoz of the menu.. I’ll post up the menu soon (coz now I mcm malas sikit.. sorry!) it’s like salad for dinner, biscuits for lunch and only breakfast menu was okay..

Anyhow.. I will do it next week!

Diet Day 2 - the update that didn't go through..

this was the update that i thought didnt go thorugh.. thank god for auto save!

Last night's dinner was a horrible experience!


i barely ate the beetroot and kacang buncis! i only had the ice cream and apple (which IS also part of the dinner menu). So basically, i didnt have dinner except ice cream and apple which made me angry. i was also trying to justify to Mr. Hubby that the diet wont work on me (and myself.. heheh) i mean.. if i'm already about 50kg (which is kononnya my ideal weight..), losing the *supposedly* 4.5kg will make me about 45.5kg... which is very kurus already. too kurus already! huhuhu.


so boleh ke? will the diet work on me? will there be a difference? a major difference? if i have to starve for 3 loooonnnggg days, i should be able to see at least some difference lah kan...


so, anyway... today - Day 2 of the 4.5kg Diet


Breakfast

1 slice of bread
1 egg (poached/ boiled)
1/2 of a mid-size banana


i made my own "telur separuh masak".. heheh.


Then... before lunch. i was gonna meet Sab at KLCC. i was to have to my *diet* lunch and Sab watever scrumptious lucnh (we had lunch at Secret Recipe... food was horrible! don't go there during lunch!!). SO.. as always, i will go to the ladies to relieve myself and then walk to KLCC. at the ladies, i bumped into my colleague who first started this diet. so she asked, how i had my chicken... so i told (read: complain and whine!) her that i had chicken slice only.. and that the beetroot was tak sedap giler! and then she said,



fren: "salahlah.. u patut beli the beetroot in the can and then chicken tu, is a small piece of chicken breast"

me: ye ke? patutlah tak sedap giler dinner i semalam. betul ke boleh lose weight? i rase mcm tak boleh je (kononnya mcm diet tu wont worklah..)

fren: boleh!! my sister buat.. she lost 10 kg. tapi die buat 2 kalilah... u start over again lah!

me: start over? (feeling happy already... dreaming of soursop gelato already...)

fren: start barulah... u kena buat betul2. kena follow the weight tu betul2

me: oklah! i start next week... weekends takleh.. ade wedding.. susah!



so... no *diet* lunch... i had instead vegetarian soba and green apple kasturi at secret recipe. which i ate only the salad and mushroom... and also the YUMMYLICIOUS soursop ice cream from gelato! yummy!!!! u guys should try it!!

10lbs Diet

the office internet was down yesterday... so i'm only updating yesterday's story today! Today's update will be later today!

SO....
I am on a diet! Before you say… not again! Let me justify why! I have my wedding reception a.k.a “Majlis Bertandang” a.k.a the boy’s reception. Anyway, its next Saturday!! Fitting for my dress is this Saturday!!! I have not been dieting and I am so afraid that I might have put on weight… darn it!! So, im trying this diet… lets just call it the “The 10 lbs Diet” or “The 4.5kg Diet”. 10lbs = 4.5 kg… geddit?

What I’m supposed to do is just follow the menu. Very easy! Easy-peasy! No changing/varying or adding anything onto the menu. The diet works on the chemical reaction of the food in our body… or something like that.

This diet works on chemical breakdown and is proven. DO NOT VARY or SUBSTITUTE any of the food. Salt and pepper to be used and not other seasonings. When no quantity is given there are no restrictions other than common sense. This diet is to be used for 3 days at a time. I the 3 days, you will lose 10lbs (4.5kg); after 3 days of dieting, you can eat normally. But remember not to OVER DO IT! You will lose up to 40lbs (18kg) in a month if you stick to it. Toast is to be dry – no butter or margarine. Tuna, string beans and beetroot can be frozen. Ice cream has to be vanilla. Black tea/ coffee must be without sugar.

Day 1 Menu

Breakfast
Black coffee/ tea (no sugar/ lemon or whatever u usually add in) a.k.a the ‘o’ kosong OR kopi’o’ kosong
1 slice of toast
2 tsp of peanut butter
1 grapefruit

As at 11.58am update --> I am surviving. Usually by this hour, I would be very hungry. But so far, I’m okay… maybe it’s the tasteless tea I’ve been drinking this whole morning.

Lunch
Black coffee/ tea
I slice of toast
4oz of tuna (in water)

12.07 pm --> I am officially hungry!!

2.59pm --> Dah makan! I still feel like munching… and I have munchies at the office but I CAN’T have them… I’m not so sure if I can survive till Friday.. 3-day remember?? This is what I’m gonna have for dinner…

Dinner
1 slice of cold meat (chicken/ turkey)
1 cup of string/ long beans (a.k.a kacang panjang or kacang buncis)
4oz of beetroot (eewwww!)
4oz of ice-cream (yayay!!!!.. maybe I should get vanilla gelato on the way home..hhmmm…)
1 small apple (yay!!!…)

Tomorrow’s menu is for tomorrow… wish me luck so I can last till Friday!

Sara Bareilles "Love Song"

i am totally in love with this song!

Head under water,

And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.

The breathing gets harder, even I know that.

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see,

If I’m happy in your hands.

I’m unusually hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pages.

No easy way to say this.

You mean well, but you make this hard on me.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,'Cause you asked for it,

'Cause you need one, you see.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,

'Cause you tell me it's,

Make or breaking this.

If you’re on your way,

I'm not gonna write you to stay.

If all you have is leaving,

I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Today.

I learned the hard way,

That they all say things you want to hear.

My heavy heart sinks deep down under you,

And your twisted words, your help just hurts.

You are not what I thought you were.

Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you.

Made me think that I need this too.

I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,

'Cause you asked for it,'Cause you need one, you see.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,

'Cause you tell me it's,

Make or breaking this.

If you’re on your way,

I'm not gonna write you to stay.

If all you have is leaving,

I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise me you'll leave the light on,

To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone.

'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say,

I won't write you a love song,

'Cause you asked for it,

'Cause you need one you see.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,

'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this.

Is that why you wanted a love song,

'Cause you asked for it,

'Cause you need one you see.

I’m not gonna write you a love song,

'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this.

If you’re on your way,

I’m not gonna write you to stay.

If your heart is nowhere in it,

I don’t want it for a minute.

Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to,

Write you a love song today.

Today.

my version of aglio olio!

I tried to make olio a few weeks ago and ive been meaning to write about it but I hadn’t had time and new story keeps cropping up… anyways… I tried… keyword: TRIED… but in vain.. oklah.. jadilah.. but not quite well… I thought it was ok. Hubby is bias to my cooking and my dad said it was tasteless. Boo hoo!

So my recipe!

Spaghetti
Olive oil
Beef bacon
Sun dried tomatoes
Chili flakes
Garlic

What I was suppose to do…

Was to fry garlic, bacon and sun dried tomatoes with olive oil and put aside. While doing that, boil the pasta. Once pasta is cooked al dente (huhu!), add it into the oil mixture.

What I did was…

Cooked the pasta first and set it aside. Then, fried all the other ingredients (everything besides the pasta). After which, I added the pasta. Wrong move!!!! First of all, my pasta was already cold and it was clumped together. Second, when I added the pasta to my hot pan, the pasta stuck to the bottom of the pan. By that time, I dah mengelabah! But I managed to swirl it around… tossing it here and there… a little arm work… and I managed to coat all the spaghetti with the “sauce”.
Hahaha… I so tak puas hati… so im gonna try it again this weekend! Will let u guys know of the outcome!

birthday!

yesterday was Mr. Hubby's birthday. he turns 27 years young... heheh! i wanted to plan for a proper surprise birthday or at least a planned dinner of some sort but it was a wee bit difficult as i dont drive (to anywhere... very unfortunate..no carlehh)and we are practically attached to the hip outside of work... not that i'm complaining... heheh... i managed to surprise him. remember my mission few weeks ago. yeah.. it was a birthday present for Mr. Hubby. i gave him a photo frame with our picture it in..



it is kinda like DIY thing... i bought the wooden photo frame from Ikea and glued these little mosaic pieces i got from the bazaar in Amcorp Mall. i did it during lunch hour.. huhu... and i edited a wedding picture of ours (i had to ask him to teach him how to use Photoshop. thank god he didnt ask too many questions! and i could only do it when he's watching football downstairs. now, i thank GOD for football!!) and voila! a one-of-a-kind photo frame!! heheh hhmmm... mebbe i could sell these frames...

its handmade so its a little crooked here and there.. ;-)

so that was the birthday present! hehe.. cantik tak?

so now his birthday surprise.. i didnt plan for anything actually coz i didnt know how to get him a cake without him knowing and i didnt wanna ask my SIL coz it's my hubby's birthday and he hates big surprises! so anyway... it was friday. i thot of a plan. make reservation at TGIF one utama and watch a movie. also to sing-song at TGIF which i know he'll kill me for it. but then, mebbe i sgould ask him first whether he would rather go for dinner-movie combo on friday or saturday.. and he said saturday! thank god! he wanted to have tom yam at Hartamas Shopping Centre. they are having a thai festival where they sell tom yam, som tan (kerabu magga for the rest of us...), mango and pulut dessert and other thai products. its on until 9th april.. and the tom yam is yummy!!!! and pedas too!

so.. tom yam it is. went to hartamas to have our tom yam and delicious mango juice! its fresh okay... they blend the fruit with a little water... and it comes out creamy and full of flavour! anyway... after that... i thot of getting him an ice cream cake. but how do i do it? how did i hide a cake with him in the car... nevermind... try luck first! so, i told him that i wanted ice cream from Baskin Robbins and was secretly hoping that he would let me buy the ice cream alone... and he did! only because he was sleepy and cranky coz of some stup*d drivers in taipan usj. thank god for that. he didnt even ask why way the packaging big when i told him i was gonna get only a pint of ice cream. a pint of ice cream is really small compared to a 6-8 person ice cream cake. takpelah... he didnt ask.. so i kept quiet.

we got home... he went upstairs immediately.. nasib baik... i managed to hide the cake in the freezer without him hovering nearby. it was still early though.. and we had about an hour before 12. so, i showered while he slept.. like a log.. aiseh.... like old man!

so we waited till 12... and woke him up!!

my hubby baru bangun!! its strawberry cheesecake ice cream!

and he was surprised! heheh... we sang song and had ice cream... hhaaaahhh... my *plan* worked! thankfully!!! was a long day that friday... with work being sucky... but it all ended nicely..

A Boring Weekend

I had a so-so weekend. Nothing interesting… except that I found out that the developer had change the lock to my apartment. So now, I cant check whether the water heater is on or off. Went to the office and there were already closed.. it was about 2 plus.. and then, we had lunch at Jom Bali Café at TESCO, Curve. The food was not out-of–this world and neither was it horrible. I expected more authentic and exotic presentation of the world. But nope… the nasi lemak tasted like any other nasi lemak. I was hoping it tasted remotely like the nasi tembel that I barely had in Bali. I had gastric back then, and just the smell made me want to puke. It was horrible… being in Bali and sick as a dog. If that wasn’t bad enough, I had a bad case of allergy the next night. All I had was seafood… and I really ate that night coz I hadn’t eaten for 2 days except for bread and water.

The allergy was really bad… I was scratching all over. I got a jab for it. And went to sleep straightaway… my colleague thought I ‘kena sawan’. It was a horrible time for me. I went to Bali for convention, which my department had organized. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights. And I was sick about 2 ½ days. I was trying to survive on the 3rd day and thankfully I was ok on the last day. And it was 2 weeks before my wedding…

Tulah… ‘darah manis’.. I didn't have a choice coz I had a boss that said… ‘work is work’ and look what I had to go through when I was there.. How would you feel? Tension kan! My medical expenses were almost RM500. I spent less than that on shopping…Luckily can claim okay. Anyhow, I got back safe and sound… thank fully.

So, anyway… I had the Monday blues yesterday. And work wasn’t making it any better… had to stay back a little while to ‘layan’ the boss’s karenah. And then, I found out that Cocky Locky is lost. Cocky Locky is our cockerel. We have a pair. Cockerel and hen. Henny penny. My mom gave them their names. Henny penny is all lonely now.. poor her. Before this, we had one pair, then the hen got eaten by the cat. So my dad bought another hen. And now, the cockerel is gone. We suspect that the cat has eaten it. My dad has a ‘lastik’ for the cats.

11.40am – We found Cocky Locky! At the neighbors which is under construction! Poor Cocky Locky! i think she couldn't find her way back after wondering there.. heheh
