over the other side

what happened last month

2011-05-10T21:08:00.002+08:00

hubby's birthday happened..
and i was sick.. like very sick.. i was MC ;-)
but i was ok by dinner time
we went to Chilli's...
pastuh.. over the weekend
i made his favourite dish albeit my first time making it
ayam kuzi... tak jadi sangat
but he ate it anyway.. hehe

after making it twice and both tak jadi
i know why tak jadi.. hehe
will probably make it sometime soon... i think

then Energizer Night Race happened
went there early thankfully
we didnt experience the "Tunnel of Death" like everybody else claimed
but i almost fainted running... i mean walking
so we ran arounf the Sepang circuit.. the 5km-ers, 11km-ers
the 21km-ers and 42 km-ers had to run around the circuit and outside the circuit
andddd they had 2 water stations... ONLY TWO!! one inside and another outside!!
CRAZY ORGANIZERS!!
nak mati ok lari almost 4k without water
and then bagi Gatorade in TIN form and 1L mineral water... WTH lah kan???!!!

let's not even get started about the goodie bag, the baggage claim queue
the MC called us, the runners "Hooligans" so unprofessional!
some of the 42km-ers were late coz the bag storage queue were super long and the staff were inefficient
bag pickup was worse! they couldnt find our bags and hubby had to go in and look for the bag himself

anyways... i registered myself and hubby for the KL Marathon on 26th June
and the NTV7 fun run
10km and 7km... dont what i got myself into...

ok.. i cant remember what else happened

mum.. went to help her friend for Sarawak elections for about 2 weeks
so i had to cook for my dad
and his comment to my mom was "Keesha has many more years to go..." --___--
yela yela...

oklah.. bye

btw.. i've started tumblring.. hehe

Stressing about Cupcake

2011-03-20T10:10:00.004+08:00

stress is when you have to make cupcakes and your oven is broken and you have 3 days to do it and work is making you leave late! anyhoooo... my sister said yes to her boyfriend's mum's friend to making or look for cupcakes for a 12yo birthday party and the person she looks at is ME!! i said ok at first... then she emailed photos of the theme she did tell me initially but it didnt register in my head.. was busy with work and "another thing" which i will write when it is all said and done so.. she emailed the photos of the theme on tuesday... i was like "OH EM GEE!!!" sh*ttttsss.. i have 3 freaking days to do coz the want it on Sat morning! sempat ke???mind you, i am a working girl ok! balik lambat ok! dah stress pasal appraisal!! so i stressing about the timeline, what to do, the attempted design (coz it was harder than what i drew on paper), googling for better designs or templates (so that i dont have to resort to my own drawing.. im hopeless at drawing), checking out recipes, checking if i have the ingredients.. had to rope in my mum!! so, thankfully my mum could buy the important ingredients Love you mom!! then it was thursday... and as usually i NEED and MUST-HAVE-HAVE these 'Elegant Shimmer Dust' to complete my 'disco ball'..( oh yeah, the theme was 'Disco Rollerskate' or something like that...) and i couldnt go to the store myself coz im at work or even go after work coz they close at 6pm and there is no way i can get there on time. Gahhh.. this always happens when i need something now now! so anyway.. we make the cream cheese tonight.. i tend organize or separate the cupcakes process into a few days and so cream cheese frosting tonight.. tomorrow red velvet cupcake and decorations. so Friday comes.. we make 2 recipes of the red velvet and fondant decorations. i think i seriously need to go for cake decorating class for fondants. i super suck at it.. luckily, my sister was with me so it didnt come out too bad.. i slept over at my parents coz we finished quite late... something i havent done that in a very long time. then it's saturday! the pick-up day! mr. hubby and i went to leboh ampang for 'something' else and 'dropped by' Masjid India after that... heheh.. merayap jap. when we got home, i assembled the cupcakes.. cream cheese with red velvet.. uhh yums! seriously! cream cheese frosting was sedap. cheese overload! perfect! *masuk bakul angkat sendiri* then took a nap.. then when i woke up, i got a call from the uncle saying that they are on the way to pick up the cupcakes! i kelam kabut rushed down to placed the 'decorations' on the cupcakes and i was still doing it when they arrrived.. dah lah my sister takde.. malu wei!! so i rushed.. i thought to myself 'takpelah..rupa takde tapi rase ade..' hahah.. i hope they like it even though it wasnt pretty! i tried my best, i swear!

March

2011-03-13T18:17:00.003+08:00

it's been a month since i did the urut by the moroccan lady
the one where the lady 'betulkan' my womb and i cried like a baby -__-
since then, i have not exercised.. bad i know
but the lady said no hard exercise (i read: no exercise at all)
hahah.. and guess what!!?? i've put on another kg on top of the 6 that im trying to lose
so now im in a dilemma.. i wanna exercise but get pregnant too

i feel so fatty fat fat.. urghhhh!!
plus i have the Energizer Night Race in April
and i haven't practiced for... of courselah kan
in fact, i was suppose to forgo it but now i might change my mind

okay now.. why is it so hard to get pregnant?? why? why?
why is it when you dont want it.. it comes so easily
so am i suppose not to want it now?
my mom is indirectly on my case about it
she even got my these "pregnant" pills when she went to Perth
makanje lah... im praying that the pills works

but i think i need to exercise too..
i need to lose the flab on my tummy.. its horrendous like seriously

im gonna go for the fertility check-up too
just to make sure everything is ok.. kinda nervous about
but it's been postponed since last year
coz i wanna go to the one at LPPKN
and you have to be.. at least for the ladies
1. you must be having your period at least in the first 3 days coz they wanna do some hormone test
2. must not have sex or 'bersama suami' for at least 3 days before hand

so, yeah.. last year Mr. Hubby was away most the time
January was malas
February was takut nak ambik leave
so... March it is... must MUST MUST go
gonna apply for leave tomorrow

anyhow.. this weekend was good and bad
cooked with hubby anddddd
my wisdom tooth is growing and my gums are bengkak (what is 'bengkak' in english??)
like super duper bengkak.. i cant chew, i cant swallow even my sliver...
and to top it all off.. its giving me a blardy headache
when i have ironing, vacuuming and office work
so i skipped vacuuming, did 80% of the ironing.... office work... yet to know

and im feeling pukey
which i have been the last few days in the afternoon
super sucks okay! headache and feeling pukey
sangap!! and.. Mr. Hubby is at at work since 9am
its sunday for goodness sake..

oklah... enough ranting
need to finish my mushroom soup and pick my husband

1. Pacat Bite
I had a pacat bite near my ankle. it's itchy and painful! not fun.. the luka is still there looking ugly, 1 week old. arghh! and thennnnn.. my colleague went mean and showed me mulut pacat yg banyak gigi which super geli!! yuckkk!! even writing about it is giving the shivers... naik bulu roma!!

2. Online Shopping
I've shopping a lot the last 2 weeks. Even when i was in TEKAM, i was buying! i love online shopping!! u guys should check thepoplook.com and oldblossombox and sputniksweetheart

3. Body Shop Addict
I just bought myself Bodyshop's latest range of shower gels "The Body Shop Earth Lovers" on top of the many i already have at home. They have 7 types of which i bought 4. If you purchase using your Maybankcard, you buy 3 and 1 free! Each has their own benefits too!

The ones i got Watemelon & Eucalyptus, Pear & Lemongrass, Lemon & Thyme and Cucumber and Mint (MY FAVOURITE!!)

The others were Apricot & Basil, Fig & Rosemary & an unfragranced version.

I also got something from their new limited edition make-up range "Brush with Fashion". I got their High Shine Lip Treatment which is really nice and it has a nice smell to it too!! i think i wanna get their "Illuminating Face Base Aprico Glow" too.. heheh.. Mr. Hubby is not gonna be haaapppyyy!!

Jan and Feb

2011-03-02T22:18:00.003+08:00

In January
I started wearing the hijab :-)
Mr. Hubby went to UK... for almost 2 weeks.. grr
i didnt get my Jamie Oliver 20100 Recipe Yearbook :-(

In February
OUR 3rd ANNIVESARY!!
We drove down to Singapore and we had the best time there!
Universal Studios was a blast!

Came back and went for a Moroccan urut session to fix my womb
It hurt so bad i cried :'-(

i also realised that since i had started wearing the hijab, i had become more conscious of what i wear.. especially to work
i was never into fashion before but now im obsessed, well kinda
i'm stalking tumblrs and blogs... shopping for inners, tudungs, scarves, shawls
it's crazy and mr. hubby isnt very happy with the cash-damage
but its all for my new wardrobe! hehe

OH! the dept had team building in Tekam (which is in Pahang) last weekend
so so so much fun!
this is the best set of colleagues i've had in the years i've been in the company
the best part was rapid shooting
where the guide will take you through rapids (probably rated 0.5) heheh
so kena air lah sikit2
but my colleagues and i... kitorang main airlah ape lagi!!
SOOOO MUCH FUN!!
next day was caving... only 2 of us got bitten my pacat and one of them is ME!
and still itchy till today!
after that was kayak race.. OH.EM.GEE... so so penat!!
my whole body was aching the next few days.. only today i got to walk properly

ok.. have to concentrate watching TV now...

I shud write more, right?

2011-02-18T19:38:00.000+08:00

I shud.. Considering that I check other people blogs/ tumblrs everyday..

I shud at least attempt to update my own blog...

Nanti lah..

The Prophet cooked his own food,
cleaned his own clothes
And took out his own trash.
Your wives are not your maids, ya ikhwaan,
They are your partners,
Do not treat them like dogs
Or you are a rejector of the sunnah of the Prophet

Got it from someone's tumblr..

Malakoff Run

2010-12-25T12:41:00.007+08:00

my first ever run albeit being 7km
i managed to finish without stopping
not including the stops i made to take photos
those dont count

my sister was suppose to join
but she managed to get to twist her ankle a futsal game
so.. u know

i met so many ppl there
frens, cousins and uncles

my mom even helped at the first water station
got herself a Malakoff t-shirt
so helpful lah she..

she was actually waiting to pass by
supportlah konon
but kinda malukan me by yelling
"kalau tak kuat lari, tak payah lari" -_-
just as i was about to jog.. haishh
not that i ran anyway...
and eventually helped the dude who was alone at the water station

i finished in 1hr and 7 mins
according to me.. heheh

photos from the day... order is in reverse
meaning finish till start

9. a must - a photo at the finishing line

8. almost there...

7. last hill... the steepest.. my thighs burned WALKING up hill!

6. down hill isnt a joke either..

5. my primary school!!

4. 2nd hill.. not too bad...

3. 12km-ers are running past me... dayymmnnn

2. 1st hill.. SIC and Pusat Sains Negara... oklahh

Breast Cancer Awareness

2010-11-02T22:34:00.003+08:00

so last sunday i was invited to the "Pink October Celebration" hosted by Strudels and Metrojaya
was a fun event.. they had fashion show and performances
but the traffic to Midvalley was crazy but nothing new ey!?

we parked at the top-most level or "syurga" as my friend said
metrojaya was at the south court
and we parked at the NORTH court
we weren't exactly late but we had to rush
and i was wearing my 4-inch Aldo heels which went numb after the whole thing

we had to wear pink, obviously.. but i didn't have anything pink except
my hot pink Anya handbag and hot pink hair band
oklah... considering not everybody wore pink

food was of course catered by Strudels
they tiny pretty tartlets and eclairs which was good
or maybe i was just super hungry.. i didn't exactly have lunch
unless you call a few spoonfuls of nasi lemak "lunch"

anyhoo.. the function ended earlier than i expected
so we went to Starbucks to have our "meeting"
i really hope something will materialise from this meeting
wish me luck!

things i learnt from the function
1. do your "Breast Self Examination" or "BSE" regularly.. every month
2. DO NOT wait if you feel anything different or abnormal
3. of course.. early detection saves lives!!

Ipod Touch

2010-10-29T21:01:00.000+08:00

I have been wanting since I saw the one my sister had
Saved up money for it
Then contemplated between nano n ipod touch
Coz managed to put some 'saving' vibe in me
Then contemplated summore
Then.. Ok.. Decided.. Nano it is
Went to KLCC to get it
But didn't have the colour I wanted
What colour u ask.. GREEN of course
Ok.. Nevermind... Wait summore
Then go again.. still didn't have it
Nevermind... Checked out apple online store
Of course saw the ipod touch..
Contemplate summore
Ask my sister about which one I shud
She said 8gb is more than enough for me
So I'm like.. OK ON!
So I bought it online last wed
I thot I was gonna get it today
It said one business day!!
But no.. Not today...

So I'll have for next week..

Eruption and Earthquake

2010-10-27T13:08:00.001+08:00

i just realised this morning that my parents are in Yogyakarta
which is SOOOO close to Gunung Merapi which erupted yesterday
i mean.. i heard about it yesterday but it totally didnt hit to me
until just now..

so.. this morning kelam kabuts call and sms them
which they didnt answer
i figured my dad continued golfing, so tak jawab
but my mom... urghh!!

my geography is bad... and up till just now
i dont where Jakarta REALLY is
i thot Yogyakarta was near Acheh
dont ask me why

anyways.. my mom replied my sms with a long sms
she said they are really close to Gunung Merapi but THEY ARE FINE
my dad was suppose to golf at Merapi but of course that got cancelled
so now, they are off to Begawan Solo and shopping
seronok nyer kan...

so now i know that Indonesia (minusing Kalimantan) is made up of 2 big island and a bunch a smaller ones
the earthquake was near the Sumatera island (Sumatera Barat)
my parents are at the Jakarta/Bandung island (ade name lain ke.. i dunno)
and Bali is like hujung-hujung Jakarta/Bandung island

the above is from my own observation after srutinising the map from Google Map

dont you notice how these earthquakes or natural disasters always happens towards the end of the year
at least the ones that happens around our region..
scary eh?

i remember the 2004.. my cousin was suppose to go to Phuket but didnt
my cousin who was there in Phuket usually gyms at the basement of her apartment (something like that lah) but didnt
my aunties and an uncle was to walk along the beach but didnt
but they did have to run up the hills to save themselves.. thank god they are ok

then the Padang one.. which i dont really remember
but i think i felt the tremor at the office
last year i think... that was a scary moment

and now this..

so in conclusion, do not go to Indonesia hujung tahun..
shitlah.. just after typing that, i remembered that my frens and i are planning to go to Bandung for some serious shopping
in DECEMBER!
but there's no gunung berapi or earthquake there kan?:-|

'Off Days'

2010-10-25T13:45:00.000+08:00

Its one of my off days
When I'm feeling extreme low
Extremely extremely demotivated
Nothing is right
Work is not
Home is not
I'm not
I feel fat, ugly... Urghhh!!!
I don't know what to do with myself

Maybe I need a change
Perhaps a drastic change
What should do?

I think I'm going to really really start updating my resume
And will take it from there..

So we'll see..

finally after a long while...

2010-10-21T19:02:00.001+08:00

so the last time i really wrote was June 29
that's like more than 3 months ago
hehe.. nothing much happened..
puasa came and gone
raya came and gone
my birthday came and gone

my birthday was spent at Palace of Golden Horse...

WORKING!!!

we had our convention over that weekend and i had to work
though t was kinda sweet of my colleagues to sing "happy birthday" at 12 ish
i totally forgot about it coz on the 31st night was the gala dinner
crazy crazy busy! running in my red Ferragamo heels here and there
so not glamorous!
no pressie for my birthday coz mr. hubby got me my anya for our anniversary
cis!

puasa this year was kinda meaningful to me
coz i really really did try to all the good deeds and sunat stuff to get more pahala
i really tried to not gossip at the office... which was hard
i really tried to not angry/upset/merajuk at mr. hubby over petty stuff (one can get pretty cranky without food... maybe its just me)
i really tried to solat terawih... at the masjid whichi did 1st day puasa.. erm..that's it
i really tried to bangun sahur.. which i failed miserably
i really tried to sleep and bangun balik for solat sunat... which i did twice.. or was it once...hhmm

oklah i tried to do macam2lah but... just but...

raya was fun and tiring. i had the whole week off and so did mr. hubby
we managed to clear our errands
this year.. not many open houses to go to
mcm takde kawan.. seriously... but adelah a few

its now october...
how time flies
my lil comel niece turns 6mths at the end of this month
my lil naughty newphew turns 1 yr and 8 mths tomorrow

and me... not anywhere nearof getting pregnant *sigh*

and i'm still working at the same place though i'm considering moving
but we'll see.. need to find a place near to work
yes.. circumstances and priorities has changed...
takmo keje jauh from home coz I CAN'T FREAKING WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
it's a torture to be at the office by 7.30am when work only starts at 8.45am!!
no.. i need my sleep and i dont want to drive to work
so what do i do??

cari keje baru yg dekat rumah!
although i haven't really started looking yet..
why can't get mr. hubby (ye.. hubby bukan saya.. i wanna be SAHW..stay-at-home-wife) transferred to UK ke.. germany ke... States ke..
i suppose for as long as i'm wishing for that..
it's not gonna happen..

oklah.. tired. bye

2010-10-18T09:44:00.000+08:00

Cleaning Up Weekend

2010-06-21T12:24:00.000+08:00

This weekend I managed to clear
My 2nd Room and pantry and store cupboard
Guess what I found?!
Many many many paper bags
So many that I shud have taken a photo
To prove it was many (many coz we can count how many, but I didn't bother counting)
I think easily over 30 pcs
Oklah.. Maybe not thaaattt many but it is for me
Small big, medium and huge ones
All got!

And guess what I did??!
Brought all to my parents house
Hehehe..
I also brought all my old old handbags
After clearing all those, I have so much space in my store cupboard
My 2nd room is clear now.. It even looks brighter as a matter of fact
Sighhh.. Happy sigghhhh

then, it was jameel's wedding
Very nice!
Met my ex-boss! Gossip-ed lah what else kan..
Hehehe
I miss herlah..

Went to my parents after that
Makan cake
I made tangerine cake
Sour, bitter n sweet.. All in 1 cake
My dad liked it coz he likes masam stuff

Today.. ML .. Medical leave
Not MC but ML ok?

Hubby belum balik.. I can't wait
I think I'm having this headache due to stress
Thinking about how difficult it is without him
Even when my parents are around
Can't imagine if my parents are not around *nangis*
Kesian orang yg parents dah takde... :'-(

I think sometimes I'm quite morbid
I think abt worst-case scenarios
What I'm going to do about it
How to handle it
Pastu nangis.. Heeesshh

balik clinic nie nak tido..
If I'm ok.. Kemas rumah summore
If I'm really ok.. I'll go to the gym
Big IF there yeah ppl..

Bye!

Week 1

2010-06-17T16:34:00.000+08:00

Gone to gym twice this week
Gay!!!
Penat wei pegi gym... Balik je terus tido!!
And I have NOT lost any weight
Tapi..mmg taklahkan
Baru 2 kali pegi gym, dah berangan hilang banyak kilos
But at least perut dah kempis sikit
Yay!! Can wear my seluar yg lain..
Hehehe

Have not watched any WC games since hubby left
Not fun watching WC without him
Got no one to answer my lame questions

I managed to iron all clothes that needs to be folded
Yes, I iron clothes that needs to be folded
Buruk ok kalau pegi gym pakai baju konyok
So, baju that has to be iron yg kena hang
Belum gosok lagi... Huhu
Which means I've got a lot more to iron

Nak tgk SATC!! Jom jom!!

Gym

2010-06-14T23:47:00.000+08:00

3rd trip to the gym
went alone! Woohoo
I didn't have a choice
Hubby not around to send me

Did the treadmill for 35 mins
And now I'm flat
dead tired...

So sorry Italy
I'm not sure if I'm able to watch u play later
I'll try okay..

Hubby is going to austria in a few hours
I'm jealous..
And I'm bored...

Ta! Off to bed..

Oh btw, they are still cleaning up and clearing up the trees
At least the road to my apartment is ok now

Test power lagi

2010-06-14T15:17:00.000+08:00

My and my 7 weeks old niece

2010-06-14T15:02:00.000+08:00

Blogging with photos via BB

2010-06-14T12:50:00.000+08:00

We will see if it works...

Again

2010-06-13T21:15:00.000+08:00

Hubby is off again..
Germany, Austria and UK
In 12 days
I wanted to go but
If u see itinerary, u wouldn't want to go too

So.. Imma gonna fill my days with
Movies dates, dinner dates
Of course gym-ming
And cleaning up the 'study' room

We'll see.. Maybe I shud take a 'before' and 'after' shot kan
Yeah.. I think I'll do that..
But as for tonight, I'll focus on finishing the ironing

Oh yeah.. Read on twitter that there
Was a freak storm in kota damansara
And when I got home
It's freaking true!!
Trees uprooted, trees bent over mcm buat yoga
I am not kidding!
The road to my apartment was closed coz the trees were bent over almost the whole way
Its scary!!
Thank god I was at the airport

Cioa.. Watching TV now.. I mean World Cup and whatever is on StarWorld

One of Those Weeks

2010-06-09T16:58:00.000+08:00

I've been coming to work late this week
With and without excuses
Been so tired lately
Last night was the worst
Made cupcakes n decorating them until 2.30 AM
LV themed cupcakes
I can barely make rosettes
And she wants LV themed cupcakes
arghhh
Did it anyway.. Stenciling was d way to go

A fren got admitted 2nd time now
In less than 2 weeks
May have to go for an operation
Wishing d best for her
Unfortunately d hospital she's at is damn far
Seremban specialist
But I suppose I've got to make d effort kan

Gymming tonight
Actually.. Not really
Yoga-ing.. Wanna try hot yoga
If I can get there in time - 7.30pm
Which is a crazy feat
Considering it rained in KL (at d time of writing dah stop)
Plus hubby is in shah alam
Picking me up in SIL's lil kancil (thanks anis!!)
Which he says is not as fast his car
Beggars can't be choosers, right??!!
So don't think 7.30pm hot yoga is happening
So, flow yoga it is..
Hopefully I won't be too shy to go in d freaking gym alone

I had hubby to teman sampai depan gym
D last 2 times I went
Maluuuuuu... -_-

Weekend

2010-06-06T21:11:00.000+08:00

My weekend was rough.
All due to the sat's morning gym session with the personal trainer.
I had free session(s) with d PT coz I just joined d gym.
My legs aching!!!

Went to OU after that to get hubby working pants
But he couldn't decide
So tak beli in d end
But we had great dinner at Monte's BSC
Having my nephew around is always fun
Saw our classmate (hubby and I went to high school together)
And his cute 7-mth old baby

Sunday.
Went to visit sab
She's out of d hospital n back home
she has so many cats..

Anyways...
Had early dinner with finas
Then went to my parents

Then went to giza for a bit grocery shopping
And guess who we saw there??!!
Awal and Scha!
Grocery shopping at d same aisle
I was star struck but control lah
Heheh.. Very jakun ok!

Not looking forward to work tomorrow

Drama Hari Jumaat

2010-06-04T21:22:00.000+08:00

Morning
- Stomachache
- cough
- headache
- gum-ache (wisdom tooth coming out)

Afternoon
- still gum-ache
- headache getting worse

Evening
- still headache
- fell, scratches on knee and elbow

A day to remember.. First time a motorbike knocked me. I fell. It wasn't bad.. But I was shocked. I saw the motorbike. Hitting my colleague's laptop bag and then hit me. In the middle of cars...

It was still green light but cars were in d jam so we decided to cross anyway... So kenalah langgar.

Haiyah! Shud have followed my original idea to take EL

Moral of the story
Look left then right then left again! Even in walking through cars caught in the jam

What?!

2010-06-03T18:49:00.000+08:00

Both husband and wife r at their respective offices. Wife kena cioa early to do her cupcakes. Husband is dilly-dallying (kot..mampus fitnah) Pls bear in mind that wife is very mengade and kalau kena tumpang orang balik, die malu n segan.

Time: 6 ish..kot

Wife: where r u?
Husband: officelahh. U?
Wife: office. Kan nak balik cepat. I can go now..when r u leaving?
Husband: in 10 mins
Wife: huh?!! Lambatlah! I boleh balik ngan farah -_- (tapi hati tak mauuuuu)
Husband: oklah!! (Suara happy ok!) U balik ngan farahlahh!!
Wife: alaaaa
Husband: I tak nak u tunggu lame nanti
Wife: whatever! Takpe.. U kena beli mcd for me!!! (Yay! Dpt glass mcd baru!)
Husband: ok! (Sure smiling happy happy)

Heesshhhh... Sure husband tu sukakan, tak payah rush balik. Wife die sebenar tgh tensi. Dahlah jam gile kat KL. Kalau naik LRT tadi macam biasa, tah-tah boleh sampai rumah lagi cepat.

being healthy

2009-11-15T18:27:00.002+08:00

its been about 5 weeks since i last wrote
that abt the time mr. hubby has been gone
so another 6 weeks or so to go
feels damn long till christmas

and so ive decided to slim down a little
to look good for mr. hubby when he gets back
im now continuing my breakfast of oats in the morning
though it doesnt fill me up much

ive also taken on jogging ard the apartment area
i try more than once a week
but with this rainy weather
not an easy task
workload at office isnt helping much either

ive also forced myself to turn in to bed earlier
like 10 or 11 ish
so no tv on weekdays
tv is my ultimate vice since mr. hubby is away
and also internet
so.. no internet and tv unless...
i get home early like by 8pm
otherwise its a big no-no

so far.. sleeping early has done wonders to me
i wake earlier... heheh
not being late for work
and im sleepy at about the same time everyday
even on weekends!
yeay for me!

i think i need that kind of routine in my life

so that's that..

i have not lost any weight
much to my dismay

i need to lose another kilo
to get back to my original weight

and maybe another 2 kilos would be nice
well.. ive got about 6 weeks

gotta get healthy snacks to much at the office

the "something"

2009-10-05T19:23:00.004+08:00

so.. today i went to check the "something"... the "something" was a lump i felt in my right breast. not big. as big as the top sction of my fore finger. doesnt hurt initially. doesnt move so much.

but it scared the hell out of me... cuak ok!!!

so...

i initially wanted to see this lady doctor in hartamas. doctor in the panel clinic which i always go to. somehow i kinda trust her. i went, only to find out that she is coming at 3pm and the doctor in at the moment was a man. so cancel..

called my mom and she said to go to this place in kg pandan or was it kg baru to the mammogram. but since i dunno the place and all.. i decided to go to clinic at the office

i went and the doctor said i should do a scan. so i came back at 12 ish and did it. i think they a new machine or something coz they were like 3 other ppl in the tiny room. my doc and 2 other persons. one of them was teaching my doc how to use the machine... so i jadi mcm guinea pig. she said if it was an older lady, 40 and above, they must both breasts but since im younger, buat sebelah je ok.. the breast yg ade the lump.

so they did the scan like twice coz first was the person teaching and then my doc. finally they told me its nothing prolly hard tissue coz they couldnt see it in the scan. hhmmm...

i glad but not really... coz the lump area kinda hurts but i think its coz of the pressing i did the last few days. i think im gonna do a mammogram later like next week or something..

its kinda scary.. knowing the how serious it could be. but thankfully for now its nothing.. maybe coz im getting my period.. its due something now... maybe its tomorrow..

i think all ladies should really do the BSE.. breast self examination. take it seriously.. i did mine like last month and only did again last saturday night coz i was reading a magazine about breast cancer awareness..

so you never know..

Weekend 1 without him

2009-10-04T12:56:00.003+08:00

1. stayed in except for breakfast with Nadia.. had fun chatting with her... didnt feel like going out at all after that...

2. another fren came over later at night... made chocolate mousse.. and turned out very good! heheh

3. was reading a magazine about breast cancer awareness and started checking my own. felt something... :-(

4. going to the clinic today to check the "something"

5. mummy and daddy coming back today

6. and i want japanese food today...

7. i finally cleared my kitchen... 1st chore of many..

84 days to go

2009-10-02T09:42:00.002+08:00

i have *that* many days to wait until dear mr. hubby comes back

i miss him already.. his presence.. knowing that he's around if i need him

i dont have that now..

teaching me that i should not take things for granted... i should not take mr hubby for granted..

angry wife!

2009-09-29T10:59:00.000+08:00

this has got to get out my system!

i hate 9r070n!! i really do... why do u do crazy things like sending you staff overseas in 2 days notice... scrap dat... 1 day notice. that's crazy! wats crazier is that your staff has got to be there for 2 1/2 freaking months! bagilah can orang nak packing.. jumpa mak bapak dulu.. nie nasib baik mak bapak dekat, kalau yg jauh tu mcm mane?? ape2 jadi kat sana mcm mane.. *touch wood* beli baju sejuk ke ape ke. tak kot.. tgh autumn kot kat sana. bos yg decide tu pun mongong.. mentang2 die pegi 2 minggu je.. he can decide, "right... lets go on the 1st". the thing is..you dont have to stay there for 2 1/2freaking months and leave your wife at home sendiri jaga anak sorang2 .. karmalah.. nanti u pun kena jugak.

"do unto others as you would have others do unto you"

bodohlah company... seriously... u say soooooo much.. but you do dat much!

i personally would want my hubby to leave the company.. a company with crappy political mumbo jumbo is not gonna help the machais down below.

sakit hati giler ok! dah lah tak boleh visit! uurrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

btw, im fasting today.

i need to vent

2009-09-04T09:19:00.004+08:00

there is one particular guy in the office who is very very irritating... i think that's putting it mildly considering all the other women in the office also feels he is somewhat irritating and annoying.

he would talk about sexy women he sees in klcc to us women, telling us how voluptouos and "tetek terkeluar" they are... i mean. u tell those things to menlah.. plus i dont know you well enough to be comfortable talking abt other women boobs.

so, the things that makes me so irritated is that him and his supervisor is coming up with something at the office. it that may or may not even happen but if it happens, i will definitely NOT be happy about it.. like REALLY NOT HAPPY. all coz its gonna take my weekends. as it is my weekends are full with stuff to do.. puasa or not. so when i do get my weekends free to have "me" or "me + hubby" time, i will fully utilise it.. nie pulak nak take away my weekends. i know it may not be every weekend. but i am already working till on weekdays (3/5 days - not good) ... and what? now you want me to come in on weekends... i dont think so. i may even resign if it becomes permanent.. seriously

so he knows im not happy about it.. he would say all sorts of stuff. i mean the more you say, the less inclined i am to do it.. lagi i rebellah kan.. and he would go on and on about it... e.g. lets say

9 am - talk abt the thing ckp skejap coz i malas nak layan and dah marah already
9.15ish - i need to go to the loo... on the way he would mention it and gelak sorang2
9.25ish - coming back from the loo... he sees me and will mention it and kihkihkih sorang2

wtf lah kan!!!

boleh tak??? dah dah lah tu... muka i dah lain and malas nak layan, still nak cakap jugak..

that was a few weeks ago..

today, the same issue come up again.. i knew he was gonna say something abt. and he did of course! but i was fixing my selendang (i wear selendang to work with hair pin and brooches and all.. heheh), buat tak tau and only said "emm" and "errmm". did not even look at him... coz nanti puasa pahala sure kurang... but i feel like venting out!

whylah... its friday... dugaan...

while wating to harvest...

Of Baking and Cooking

i dunno when i started wanting to cook... but i do remember cooking for this guy back then. it was only fried rice, recipe from kylie kwong. it was simple but i was influenced by how she made eggs for the fried rice so fluffy. of course i tried but my eggs din turn out the way it should. i do now know how to make the eggs fluffy.

anyways.. i made the fried rice for this guy.. of course he said it was good.. so, from there on i guess... i became inclined to cooking. btw, i have always liked baking. i think i got that side from my mom. my sister prefers cooking.. my mom is great at both. so at least her girls can bake or cook.

so i think that was in 2004 or 2005... so since then, i started cooking... and baking more. then there was the travel show on astro. nigella bites... jamir oliver... i got hooked. i started cooking this i like, like beehoon soup (from scratch ok!), kangkung belacan... fried rice ala kylie kwong (i changed the recipe a lil).

in 2006 i started making cookies for raya... and started selling. somehow, my recipe changed every year until this year. this year cookies recipe is good already. i like making desserts. i think my creme caramel is the best (i know, i know.. angkut bakul sendiri.. heheh)... i can make a mean mango cheesecake... and a bunch of other stuff. of course cakes and dessert that i like. i tried buah melaka last weekend but mcm tak jadi sangat. so i'll try again.

the thing about me is that, i will try and try and try.. until im satisfied with the result..

so today, i made fried rice for buka... yesterday chicken curry and grilled brinjals.. tomorrow.. nak makan luar!! :-D

so thats me and cooking and baking... saje nak cite.. whle waiting for cotton and pineapple to ripen.. heheh

im missing my lil nephew farel.. he is so so so comel.. so geram!!

bye!

RAYA COOKIES... and baking

2009-08-31T23:24:00.003+08:00

my favourite show on astro is asian food channel...

and i have this thing about wanting to try out their recipes, which i have. maybe now i should actually blog about itlah... at least something to give me "semangat" to write daily... make it weekly lah huh...

so, i was watching 'french food at home' today and the chef made olive oil and red grape cake. im gonna try something this week. recipe looks simple and she made it seem easy to make..

i'll blog about it when i make ok.

oh btw.. im selling cookies for raya.. orang office kata sedap... in-laws pun kata sedap.. of course i kata sedap.. memang sedap! (sorry kena bakul sendiri!.. no one to angkat for me lehhh)

i make three kinds only... hey, i work okay!

1. Classic Choc (basically its chocolate chip cookie) - rm23/ bottle.. approx 500gm
2. Nutty Choc( chocolate chips with almonds) - rm21/ bottle.. approx 500gm
3. Chocolate shower (cookie with chocolate rice) - rm19/ bottle... approx 480gm

My persoal favourite is Classic Choc but only becoz i dont like nuts in my cookies but that's just me...

NOTE:
Its by weight because it is homemade, so some cookies are big and some are small. Be rest assured that cookies will be filled to top.

If you feel like ordering, email me at kooshkeen@hotmail.com and please make your orders before the 9th of September... so order quick!!

the little things

2009-08-28T12:24:00.001+08:00

a few things mr. hubby did that i love...

- hold my hands when we were crossing the raod the pasar ramandhan

- woke me up after i fell asleep after waking him up for sahur and got me a drink dates to eat

- put in hot water for me to shower...(it rained so hard this morning!)

sweet kan... hhmmm..

7 things NOT to do after eating.... and baking

2009-04-22T21:02:00.003+08:00

so things not to do after eating...

Don't eat fruits immediately
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.

~ no wonder... :-/ so now... fruits before eating

Don't drink tea
Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

~ no wonder... :-/ patutlah senantiasa bloated

Don't smoke
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher)

~ so jangan smoke... to those who smokes!!

Don't loosen your belt
- Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked

~ aiyoyo...

Don't bathe
Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach

~ so no mandi after dinner.. or no mandi at all at night.. :-S

Don't walk about
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake

~ so longer lunch hour for me! yeay!! its good for me tummy boss!!

Don't sleep immediately
The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine

~ itu ular sawa tuu..

i do most of stuff after eating... shishhhh

anyways... today was kinda a depressing day..

2 person not related to me but i kinda know them died. one is a little girl who is just 6 years and another my mom's fren's husband who has been fighting lung cancer for past year (i think..) and just yesterday i was reading about this girl who was my sister's senior... who died of lung cancer just last year... sedih okay if read about her.. just google "sara aziz".. there are plenty of pages to read from and you can read her blogs too...

on a different note.. i baked tonight. i made orange cake but in muffin cases... i dunno whether it is sedap since Mr. Hubby is not around...

finished goods

oklah... penat dah...

saya sudah pulang

2009-02-11T22:56:00.004+08:00

ke tanahair...

to hot, humid and rainy malaysia
where you wont have any problems
eating chicken or beef and
not having to wear 4 layers of baju and 3 layers of seluar
just to keep warm

where wearing shorts and baby t is enough in this weather...

yes.. i am back

i cant say i miss it much besides the food coz I MISS MR. HUBBY MORE!!

i wished i didnt have to come back
i wished i was there until he returns
i wished i didnt have to go back to work
i wished i didnt have to wake up early

i so wished... but my wishes were merely wishes

BUT reality bites...

so here i am.. back in kl...
annnnddddd

Mr. Hubby is still there for another ONE WHOLE MONTH... sucks kan??!!

i have to go to work
and i have to bangun awal

dahlah tak boleh tido at night!! uurrgghhhh

baju kerja pun takde coz i havent gone back to my apartment to pick my working clothes

ish ish ish...

anyways... my second london trip was a lot more fun than the first
i dunno why but it was a lot more fun'ner'

we saw a squirrel in Hyde Park... i was so jakun
so comel... it came up close to us and i scared shit
mane tau die attack ke!! Mr. Hubby just laughed at me... chet!

cute squirrel eating our cherries

thats me asking for cherries from Mr. Hubby 'the cameraman'

and prove of how close was the squirrel with me

squirrel up close and personal ... yg comel!

after the squirrel episode... we went to the lake coz we wanted the swans and ducks and

pigeons too!!

it was sejuk okay... coz of the wind

swans and ducks at the lake in Kensington Park which i believe is part of Hyde Park

almost a heart shape

me and Mr. Hubby with swans and pigeons

will write more later... dah sleepyyyy..

in london

2009-02-06T04:42:00.003+08:00

me and Mr. Hubby in london tube

1st Anniversary - 1 Feb 2009

2009-02-04T19:56:00.003+08:00

my anniversary was a blast!

it was in london and with my hubby.. of courselah
well.. the trip almost didnt happen ok..

after Mr.Hubby left for UK
i started to look for cheap airfare to go and visit him
and of course to celebrate our anni

and MAS was just too expensive
Mr. Hubby said he could pay like 1/3
and i have to top up the rest... which is... banyak!
but for anniversary-sake and bile lagi i get to go

so... i found Qatar which was reasonable
which then, my mom told me she got a MAS airfare
which was rm300 extra..

so i was excitedlah kan.. told Mr. Hubby
and Mr. Hubby said it was still expensive
so i was devastated... seriously
like rase hancur-luluh

told my parents..
and then, my parents kesian kot..
so they said they'll pay half of it as our anniversary present
and we'll pay up the rest!

the best anniversary present EVER!!!

of course then Mr. Hubby said ok!

YAY!!!!

so here i am... in UK.. relaxing
shopping... i just hope im below the 20kg limit

so... my 1st year anniversary was spent in london
in cold cold london
which later snowed

we didnt anything different if we were back in KL
but we were in a different country, so the feeling was different
the weather was definitely different

we watched a movie and had fish and chips for dinner at Leicester Sq
sebelum tu, we went to Greenwich coz Mr. Hubby's colleagues wanted to go there
oh my god! it was super sejuk.. it felt like -100 degrees... sejuk gilers

we took photos at London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge

the next day we went to Oxford St
we were *suppose* to go to Portobello Market which was closed on sunday
Madame Tussaud's, Covent Garden and Trafalgar which of course went out the window
i blame Mr. Hubby coz he said to go to Mable Arch and walk all along Oxford St

so ape lagi... sangkut from 11ish until 3 ish...
itupun i paksa diri to stop coz i felt so guilty spending so much
and money which isnt mine... Mr. Hubby's lah of course but still
i forgot to bring mine... boleh tak? heheh

then we had late lunch at Beity Lebanese Restaurant - its halal
the shawarma aka kebab... it soooo sedap... so sedap that i managed to finish almost all
when on normal circumstances i finish at most 3/4 of my food
i didnt take photos coz both our camera batteries were out... sungguh kureng!

but thats okay... coz we're planning to go again next week
before i leave for KL

but this time... we ARE really going to Madame Tussaud's, Covent Garden and if there is time
to go on London Eye!
and maybe Greenwich again... to see the line thingy thing
coz last week it was closed by the time we got to the top...

so in short... i had the best anniversary ever...

thanks to my parents for the air tickets and my in-laws for duit belanja for the dinner!!

brownie

2009-01-31T02:56:00.003+08:00

i am in UK: Day 4

2009-01-29T02:26:00.002+08:00

i have been for 4 days already not counting the saturday i arrived coz i sampai malam
i havent been doing much besides shopping and sleeping here in Norwich
and Mr. Hubby has allowed me to drive to the city center
which isnt besar sangat... ala-ala besar our golden triangle
then again.. i havent been driving out of the city center pun

so... it has blissful being able to sleep without feeling guilty
and shopping... with feeling guilty heheh
tak payah masak... tak payah kemas
coz there is someone who comes to clean the apartment
and i dont really cook coz there's others who can cook better
so i am really enjoying myself here

anyway... the weather here is cold
obviously since its winter.. duhh
but im beginning to get use to the weather..
so its cold but not so cold.. but there are nights when its super cold

so this weekend we'll be going off to london
gonna do all the tourist-y stuff
visit madame tussaud, london eye, london tower

if u guys have any ideas where i should go and visit and shop
please let me know..

i will only be london over the weekend since Mr. Hubby is here for work
so we have to go back to Norwich on sunday night

and im going home the following weekend...
so only 2 weekends..

so tell me okay!!!

2009-01-11T20:48:00.004+08:00

so today is the first day of the 2 months of Mr. Hubby's attachment to UK. sent him off last night.. i cried obviously.. but not as bad as the last time... kena controllah depan my in-laws

went i got home... i was ok... until i found a secret card that Mr. hubby planted in the tissue box.. so sweet... i cried again. everytime i think of that, i get teary- eyed again. and that was secret card no.1. i found out later that he has planted another 7 around the room...

i coulnt find any last night, so this morning when he called.. i made him tell where the cards were... well, at least one.. he didnt.. and it was kinda obvious but thaaat obviously. heheh.. i found another just just now, so now i have 3 secret cards... i am still looking for the others but i cant find them... i gave up.. i'll make him tell where the rest is...

anyhow.. i cut my hair today.... really short.. shorter that i expected but was okay. i like it.. i hope Mr. Hubby will like it too..
photo not so pretty coz i took it after all the shopping and walking ans sweating at the curve... but basically that's how i'll look from now on...

i miss M. Hubby very very much

i still cant get him on the phone.. i hope he's okay there.. :-((

Day 7

2008-12-17T08:23:00.002+08:00

As of today, Mr. Hubby has been gone for 7 days already. 7 long days and not to forget nights. As much as I want to believe that I am strong person, I am not. At least not very strong emotionally… I cried almost everyday… alright… I cried everyday. Its embarrassing but I cant help myself. I can cry anytime… anytime my mind is idle and the thoughts will linger to mr. Hubby which will then remind me that he is away… my eyes starts watering.. its terrible. Im sure other women go through the same thing… maybe it’s the first time that he is gone and gone for a long while.. 2 weeks may be short for some but it’s a long and torturous 2 weeks for me. No joke!

Went to a wedding last Saturday. It was nice to have met some of old uni friends and their babies. Its kinda weird going without Mr. Hubby. I was nervous when i left the apartment. In fact I was nervous leaving the apartment the whole weekend… my heart was pumping and it felt kinda wrong to go out. But the feeling subsided later.. so back to the wedding. There were babies with a capital “S” all around the same age. Close to 1 year old. Some of them has 2 kids already and a few has another on the way… so I was feeling a little lonely (no hubby, remember..) and jealous of some sort.. of them having babies. At the same time, I was glad that I didn’t have any to bring to weddings.. aiyo… they were noisy. A little unapporpriate for weddings, I say but who am I to say such things..

So of my friends were telling me not too worry about having babies straightaway. They say I should enjoy my time with the husband. And you know what, I agree… since Mr. Hubby left, I felt as though I didn’t spent enough time or we didn’t spend enough time together before he left for overseas… and he is going again next year for about 2 months… so I say… no babies now.. I wanna all of my available free time with my husband doing things… not just 'things' things :-) but more just things... I have a lot on my mind, whether or not I do it, is a totally different story altogether. But I vow to spend time with mr. Hubby when he comes back and NOT to think about conceiving… I will start by un-subscribing to the baby newsletter… and no more “treatment” massage.

I have wasted almost a year stressing about getting pregnant… I do not want to waste anymore time.. I wanna enjoy waking up late, staying in bed until 4pm.. drinking coffee whenever i like even if it gives me a pimpleot two, start having ice-cream without thinking twice, drinking my the’o’ais without feeling guilty…. Haaaahhhhh…. It is a relief to even think about it.. I haven’t said anything to Mr. Hubby yet.. our days and nights is a little off..

I feel a little happier now… but a little sick...

maybe im coming down with the flu... like everybody else..

kitty cat gone...

2008-11-19T13:45:00.003+08:00

okay.. updates updates..

i was on 2 days MC
i had flu without the flu...

my cat died... sedih ok..
for no real reason
seriously...
i gave her food at about 8pm... and then at 11 ish.. she died
i was crying and crying..

other than that...
nothing much happened in past 3 weeks
besides work..
and attempting to make muffins
which after the second try
it kinda jadi.. but not really

so imma gonna try again...

also.. ive been ready the vampire-human-werewolf book
i think it got me sick..
im now finishing book 3 "eclipse"

"twilight" is coming out in the movies
a part of me want to watch it
but another doesnt want too
i dont wanna be disappointed..
hero mcm tak hensem as how the book potrayed him..
so how?

im gonna watch it anyway..

i suggest you guys watch then read...

but read it one way or the other... the story sangatlah BEST!!!!!

my weekend

2008-10-30T13:26:00.003+08:00

its 1.21pm..
so i have about 40 odd mins to blog

not that i have much to blog

maybe i'll blog about my upcoming super busy weekend..

Mr.Hubby sudah janji dengan officemates to bring creme caramel for the office makan-makan session.. and of course it was done without consulting the tukang masak.. yours truly lah..

so now i have to make creme caramel for about 60-odd pax.. at least that's what Mr.Hubby said but he could be exaggerating.. so tak taulah.. all i know i have to make 2 recipes of creme caramel. the makan2 session is on saturday. but on saturday M.Hubby and I have registered for the Canon Photo Marathon which is a whole day event in KL. i perasan that i can take *competition-worth* photos.... heheh... so we may or may not go the makan2 session.

BUUUTTTTTT.... Mr. Hubby said that i still had to make the creme caramel even if we're not going to the makan2 session. kena contributelah jugak.. aaiisshhh!!! so the idea is to make creme caramel tonight (thursday) and for him to bring to office on friday and for his colleagues to bring it to wherever it is on saturday.

so in short... i still have to make creme caramel.. 2 recipes of creme caramel tonight!

pastu... Mr.Hubby has invited his family over for dinner on sunday. Menu.. nasi kerabu.. only becoz my mom made nasi kerabu the other day and he told his mom is sedap.. itu my mom buat bukan i buat ok. anyway.. becoz he has invited his family... so i have to make nasi kerabulah kan.. problem is.. i dunno how to make it and i dont think that i even have time to do it..

tonight = creme caramel
friday night = birthday dinner for Mr. Hubby's dad
saturday night = tido... the photo marathon sampai malam k

so when... unless i skip the Canon photo marathon altogether.. which i dont want to! if not, after running around in KL for the photo marathon, straight away go home and kemas rumah and make preparation for the dinner. i am gonna be dead tired buy sunday morning. then, sunday morning must wake up early to prepare last minute things before guests arrive.

but my darling mom has offered to reduce the burden by making the kuah for me... thank you MOMMY!!

so now... all i have to do is cook rice, potong2 the necessary vege for nasi kerabu and goreng keropok lekor.

i think i might be sick on monday...

quick one

2008-10-29T13:57:00.002+08:00

its been a while since i last blog..

i still dont have internet at my new pad
but we now have astro! hhppfff with no movies
very bosan!

had a "wajid khan family gathering"
was not okay at the beginning
but once we started dancing and poco - poco-ing
i soon forgot my sadness

i was only sad coz M r. Hubby had to take photos
when i was under the impression that Mr.Hubby was to take
photos sikit - sikit
not like worked the shole night

but he took loads of photos... of me!
heheh...

gtg
its 1.56pm

lagi 4 menet je nih...

Ox Year and petuas

2008-10-11T21:58:00.004+08:00

next year is an Ox Year... according to the chinese calender
Ox and Rooster are allies
which makes it a good year for us Roosters in terms of wealth, health..
and having babies...
good year for married roosters to have babies
that's what Lilian Too told me during my auntie's open house
she is a very nice and friendly lady
she also told me and my mom to get a pink lotus crystal
and put it at the west of my house
something to do with getting pregnant
which my mother immediately wrote it down in her pink book
that she always have in her handbag

my mother said kalau masuk rumah baru
kena ade minyak, gula and garam
petua kata my mother
so... for any of you moving into a new place
have those things ready

a colleague also told me NOT to place a mirror infront of the bed
petua orang cina
something to do with infidelity...
there goes my plan of having a huge wardrobe with sliding door mirrors placed
yup, u guessed it... in front of the bed...
no harm in following

so... im sure u know by now that i have moved in
its been a week
its been alright...but...
going to and fro to work is hell, i tell you
i face the jam going and coming back...
thank god i dont drive into KL
i have just drive out of KD and into DH
cant imagine if i have drive all the way to the office

ive tapau-ing food from home..
which is cool..
eating with Mr.Hubby.. so cozy and nice
watching dvds while eating
we dont have astro yet..
but we have subscribe it already
i didnt think Mr. Hubby can last very long without the sports channel

but i.. on the other hand
am i dire need of internet access
which Mr. Hubby thinks isnt very important or critical
at this stage
well.. he doesnt facebook everyday, so he doesnt know
i dont facebook everyday... heheh
but i do need it for blogging and researching

i am researching on how to make more money
the day job isnt paying enough and it isnt fulfilling
but i guess you cant always get what you want
so now.. im researching

i also need to upload new songs in my ipod
its so outdated

so you can see now why i need the internet

oh! i also need ppl to sponsor me new furnitures
maybe decorate my house for free
my place is bare except for the TV and coffee table
courtesy of FAMA from both sides
other than that... its pretty bare and pathetic

any of you guys doing a programme on decor ala eric leong tu..
can use my place... provided i get to keep the furniture and its green
heheheh...

let me know tau!!

ciao!

dugaan bulan puasa

2008-09-04T20:33:00.003+08:00

today is the 4th day of puasa... so far... okay... no doubt i was hungry by 9am almost every morning except monday... that was only because i was sleeping.. huhuhu..

anyways... tuesday was really really bad... first of all i took a pill so that i can "go"... i have constipation.. so yeah fasting makes it a little worse. anyhow.. i reached the kl sentral kinda early abt 7.35am to which i thot i can make it to office by 8am buuuuutttttttttttt noooooooooooooo... the train had an "unscheduled delay" ... so we waited... and waited... at 8am, i am still NOT on the train, i was at the front of the line with literally hundreds more waiting on the platform and down at the escalator, all waiting to rush up. i should be happy right... the next train that comes i can push my way in... buuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttt noooooooooo... the pill kicked in... i had stomach pains only god knows... i had no choice but to leave my precious spot and make way down the escalator and "excuse me, excuse me" my way to the ladies... aiyoooo... so tensi ok!

so then i took the monorail instead... a colleague told to stop at bukit nanas and walk to office... he and she, 2 separate persons... told me it isnt so far... hah!!! it was FAR.... dahlah puasa... and at the beginning of the day and after i have drained my stomach contents out! by the time i got to the office, i wasnt a pretty sight!!

and balik, same thing... i was suppose to follow Mr. Hubby to Sheraton for dinner... so i left on time despite being super late in the morning.. i thot the train would alright by then... boy... i SO WRONG!! i got to klcc lrt at about 5.20pm... was in the train for 10 minutes before it actually moved... i was praying hard that i wont be late and the train would be ok... buuuuttt nooo.... luck was on my side... i say, dugaan hari pertama bekerja dan berpuasa!! sabar jelah. anyway... the train finally moved.. it went along smoothly till the next station - Kg Baru where it stopped not only for 10 mins but for 20 bl%^&y minutes... i was super super late. FIL waiting for me since 5.30pm.. Mr. Hubby tak payah cakaplah kan... by the the train moved again to the next station it was already 6pm...

when the train finally reached Dang Wangi... i got out.. i almost didnt... but i did anyway... walked super laju to bukit nanas monorail... the escalator up the bridge and down the bridge didnt work pulak... s#$tlah kan... dahlah panas and penat... puasa pulak tu...

got to the station... thank god a train reached as soon as i got on the platform... i was home safe... at least half way there... got to kl sentral.. thank god FIL tak balik je.. and picked up MIL and then off home... jam pulak on the federal... Mr. Hubby dah call-call dah... in the end i told him, you go ahead je lah... kesian die nak tunggu for me while his colleagues were waiting for him..

so i tried to sleep in the car nak hilang rase sedih thinking i wont be eating nice food... when i realised we were approaching subang... but then berbuka was in 3 mins or so... i called Mr. Hubby to asked him he still wanted me go since my in-laws can send me... but he said tak payah.. so i pun balik feeling really sad...

that night i merajuk...

that was my biggest dugaan so far...

how about yours?

merdeka day and puasa

2008-08-31T14:40:00.002+08:00

today... finally... its all OVER!

for Mr. Hubby. no more late nights... and super-early morning...

today was the finale... grand finale of some sort..

today.. his car worked for our beloved DPM aka Dato' Seri Najib to drive from the "HQ" aka Bank Negara to the podium this morning for Merdeka Day celebration.. im sure not many would have noticed... in fact i think no one noticed except for me and my sister who was there at Dataran Merdeka... that Mr. Hubby was quietly waiting at the podium to take over the car after DPM arrived. His car... the car that he has been working on since my birthday... "e-Savvy", and 'e' which stands for electric... so electric Savvy... yes an electric car.

Our PM drove drove the "e-Persona"...

But i believe it was all worth the effort considering that "e-Savvy" was initial the back for the "e-Persona"... and that at the end of it all... it was part of the program for the Merdeka celebration. I'm proud of Mr. Hubby... he didnt give up when things turned pretty bad during the past weeks... he persevered and brought the car to "live".. FYI, the car was ensembled manually from scratch... and i dont mean the aesthetic value of the car but the wiring and engine since its an electric car.. very proud of him!

Being the wife, I showed him support albeit a little nagging and whining... i mean if your husband were coming back at 2a.m almost every night, you would whine a little, right???... pls bear in mind that we have only been for 7 months married.. heheh.

so this morning, I woke up at 6.15am when i should have woken at 6am so that i could be at Dataran Merdeka by 7am... which of course didnt happen. After picking up my siblings, we arrived at 7.30am. The place was packed... but we managed to wiggle our way through to a fairly strategic place where i could see Mr. Hubby was waiting at the podium but... he was as big as a red ant.. semut yg besar tu... yup... haiyah.. but i managed to take some photo of him there at the podium and had to get my sister to get photos of himwhen he took over the car from DPM, since im such a shorty... It all took like 1 to 2 minutes.. hhmmm.. but it was all good.

i managed to get a lot of photos of the parade after wiggling my way here and there, after getting halau-ed and shoo-ed and "tolong kebelakang cik, tolong kebelakang cik.." to which i finally ending up getting a spot on the tarmac itself where if i really really reached out, i could have touched the legs of people marching by.. well.. almost touching... but i was that close...

so that was that... we're home... Mr. Hubby is napping.. he was up since 4am. he slept at 1.30am. kesian die... and me blogging. photos are still in the camera... i will try to upload it as soon as Mr. Hubby uploads it which i think will take a while. sorry...

tomorrow is the start of a new month... a month of redeeming oneself and practicing a whole lot of patience... good luck!

SELAMAT BERPUASA TO ALL MY MUSLIMS FRIENDS!!

cervical cancer

2008-08-23T22:29:00.002+08:00

CERVICAL CANCER
i was on leave the other day... and followed my mom doing errands. and one of them was going to get a neurobayon (or something like that..) jab. and my mom asked me to come in as well only because i mentioned that i wanted to ask the doctor about cervical vaccination and only because my colleague mentioned it to me before... i had to sit in and watch the doctor gave her jab... i closed my eyes.. i have to mentioned that the curtains were closed too.. hahaha.. just so you all know that i super scared of the needles...

anyway... bacl to cervical cancer. the doctor said that 2 (or was it 3) out of 4 women gets cervical women. scary ok.. and i just found out that a close fren of mine's mom had it and had to get her womb all out.. lagi scary ok.. what if we get it now like before we get babies... wont it sad and frustrating.

the vacccination is done in 3 stages.. so 3 jabs... from what i heard its painful but bear in mind that i super scared of needles.. for now, each jab costs more or less RM400. so now im contemplating... should i do it? or not? the not is more of the pain than the money.. Mr. Hubby said i should. my mom wants my sister to go coz the doctor said its better before you're sexual active... so since she will be going (she doesnt know it yet), then i'll go too..

check out here for more on cervical cancer and the vaccination

ok im bored now...

Mr. Hubby is at work.. its 11.08pm on a cold saturday night..

malaysia for gold??

2008-08-17T21:07:00.008+08:00

i am hungry...

while watching lee chong wei play for the gold medal. i really hope he wins! or is it wishful thinking...

my sister is in the hospital for appendicitis... poor girl. she's in melaka alone now but my dear mummy is going to see her later (again...) after reaching home from melaka at 7pm just just now. she was suppose to be discharged tomorrow but she has fever now... so maybe she wont be coming tomorrow.

she had her operation last night.. kesian her. she couldnt eat anything since 2pm and was in pain the whole time. my dad only got there about 6 ish.. and i arrived just in time before she was wheeled in for the operations. almost cried.. so kesian. i did crylah but at home.. so we stayed at the hospital until she came out. her bf came as well.. so sweet. he only got to see her for like less than a minute.. Mr. hubby, dad and i left at about 1ish. my mom stayed with her last night..

anyhow... i am into cactus rearing.. hehehe.. i had 2 weeks ago and my dad got another 2 from a wedding he attended. how cool is that.. giving away cactuses as 'bunga telur'.. so then i had 10. unfortunately, 2 was dying.. so i had to replant them into bigger pots.. which i did this weekend but 1 died... the other, i trying to salvage. i hope it'll live...

i was suppose to arrange for my massage this weekend but.. tak jadi. so i'd probably go tomorrow or tuesday. my mom said not to go but i think i will just for the fun of it.. and.... Mr. Hubby is also going his "traditional massage"... and he also has to fix his ankle which is still swollen from last tuesday futsal game.. iissh.... men! so degil!

my colleague got my this chinese herb which is supposedly good for regulating your menses, alleviating your period pains and most importantly.. its good for the womb. another colleague said that her friend took it and got pregnant a month ot two after... hhhmmm...

i am in a conflict.. my apartment is due to be ready soon.. i think my end of august. as much as i want to be pregnant, i also want to be able to move about freely when moving into the apartment. now, if im pregnant, i wont be doing much. in fact, i think i wont be doing anything at all and i have to totally rely on Mr. Hubby which i dont like. so how???

come to think of it... its not like i *can* get pregnant as easily as i thot i can... so i suppose i should relax and not think about getting pregnant and think about moving into the apartment. i cant wait!!!

my boss's husband said to me via my boss... "having fun trying... (read: have fun trying to get pregnant)

okie dokey... gonna see what's all the shouting is all about...

olympics and life...

2008-08-12T22:39:00.003+08:00

nothing much has happened besides not being pregnant despite period being unusually late.. hhmmppfff...

so now.. not only *I* have to go for traditionally massage, i'm making Mr. Hubby to go too...

i think i'm being paranoid... my mom thinks i should lay-off the massage and go with the flow. but i'm thinking otherwise... heheh... who doesnt want to go for massage...

anyway...i am gonna try my best NOT to think about it... i think i'll manage it. there's loads to do at work and the apartment... my god.. the headache.. i now have to think about the moving... the packing, which isnt much but the moving...

there's always something to think about... i tell you, being married is not easy... its GREAT but not easy... a lot of compromising... yeah... but its great..

anyway... did u guys catch the olympics opening???? it was superb kan... my favourit-est pasrt was the footstep fireworks... i thot that was a great idea.. super cool..

i hope malaysia wins a medal... any medal....

GO MALAYSIA... MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

oh yeah... i turned 27 last week... got a pretty watch from Mr. Hubby.. and crocs from mommy!!

my ex just got married.. congrats to him!

my birthday... and being on TV!

2008-08-03T23:06:00.003+08:00

Mr. Hubby was on the 8pm and 12am news yesterday and this morning!!

why u ask???

he was in the hybrid car with our PM, Pak Lah yesterday afternoon at the PROTON Technology Week... woohoo!!

to those of you who are not aware of the PROTON Technology Week.. you can go to paultan.org and read ALL about it..

and to those of you who missed the news.. like me.. you can see him in action here. the photos arent really clear but Mr. Hubby is in the passenger seat.. while Pak Lah drove the the hybrid car. he was to explain about the hybrid car to Pak Lah.. heheh..

there also a video... Mr. Hubby will only appear after 50 sec... i dot understand the guy who took the shot focused on the car name... hhmmppfff

anyhooo... i was there today. it was freaking hot but i think it was worth my 3 hours... it was interesting to diferent cars and how PROTON cars are designed and manufactured... no other vehicle companies has R & D division in malaysia okay!! others vehicle companies bring in complete cars here to be mass-produced and sold...

so thats that...

went to TGIF to celebrate my birthday with my in-laws! i am a year older but feeling years younger.. woo hoo! they made stand on the chair and sing.. the whole thingamajig.. was alright...

had my birthday dinner with Mr. Hubby last night.. and he got me a watch for my birthday! i likey like a lot!!! will try to upload the pic if i cant find any online!

night!

5th urut session

2008-07-27T13:36:00.002+08:00

it has been awhile.. today i went to my 5th urut session.. i had a different masseuse today... she was good too. the other sessions were hot stone massage cum correcting-my-womb session. today was just a normal traditional massage. it was good, she corrected all my urats.. she said that my womb is okay now... not too low or too high and its not kembang! yay!!

tips that she parted to me..

no cooling stuff such as tembikai a.k.a watermelon, tea, kangkung, of course coffee

for those who are already preggie, u shouldnt be reaching up for high stuff, that can jatuhkan your womb... with the baby..

to get pretty babies, drink loads of soya bean

air kelapa is good to suburkan your peranakan

have to go.. will sambung later

have to go pick out tiles for my apartment kitchen!

cant wait to move out!!

i miss blogging

2008-07-11T19:03:00.002+08:00

its been sooooooooo long since i last wrote...

its coz ive busy with work plus no internet at home in subang plus blogger is not accessible at the office

so.. not being able to blog for almost 3 weeks

anyhow.. a lot has happen...

i watched Beauty and Beast... which was okay
though the food was super expensive
but becoz i was hungry, i had to part my precious money
stupid fuel increase!!

i am now officially 5 months married...
how time flies!!

went to urbanscapes..
was fun... even though i didnt manage to watch gigs..
watched Wanted after...
it was really cool... even though i dont really like the fighting and blood part
i thought it was a really cool movie
now i wanna watch Hancock tonight
if Mr Hubby comes back early

my good fren got married today...
congrats AVA and AZAHARI!!

after her nikah... i went to Beaubelle Spa in Kl Sentral with my girlfrens
did my pedicure whch was so cheap
heheh... i like..
well.. i only got it cheap coz i know the owner... woo hoo!!

please go there... her services are good!

anyhow... my suspicions about my peranakan a.k.a my womb jatuh is true
:-( sedey okay!!

the massuesse said that my womb is quite low and kembang
she said its partly due to my liking to minum air sejuk, mandi malam and tido dlm bilik air-con
which i do all of the above

uurggghhh... no air sejuk... which i actually have kinda stopped..
i actually stopped drinking tea.. so no more teh 'o' ais for me... or teh 'o' suam
drinking more barley suam..

and no more mandi malam and tido bilik air-con...

and now.. i am gonna be spending big bucks on getting my womb back into its correct position and mengecutkan the womb

anything to get pregnant...

i suggest that those newly married ladies to go for urut
just make sure that your womb is good

and not know about it much later... like me

my first session starts tomorrow morning

wish me luck!

ok bye bye...

oklah...

got to do my errands now..

moving on...

2008-06-16T23:32:00.003+08:00

i dont have much to write...

uuhhh.... ade ade...i cleaned my apartment with mommy and now i have backache... and my mom is cool as ever.. i.e. sans back pain.. went to Ikea to give house stuff. so exciting k! that was on saturday.. went to ikea again on sunday with my cousin.. then went over to the apartment to fix this Ikea lamp that someone gave as a weddign gift.. so cool okay!

so now i have a lamp in my apartment... hehe

just now.. right after work.. Mr. Hubby and i went to Courts to check out the washing machine and refridgerator. things are expensive... oil hike not helping... Mr. Hubby is not too keen on ulang-aliking from my parents to the apartment... hhppffff

i am like SO excited getting new stuff for the aparrtment... the only thing im afraid to know is the renovation works.. for the kitchen, wiring for the air conditioning... i am hoping for some help from me parents. crossing me fingers!

and i am also trying to get preggie... initially i thot i'd wait till end of this year. get things sorted out... moving into the new place, saving up a little , you know the usual but then... i hear stories of ladies who have been trying for years before be able to get pregnant... the thot is scary... what if i cant pregnant, what if there's something wrong with me...

so we decided to just go for it...

have been reading a lot online on things you should and should not do in order to get pregnant. one thing i cannot not have is caffeine. i take coffee but i am a teh'o' junkie... i take everything with teh'o'... but i am trying to reduce my tea intake. i have to exercise... hahahah.. i am now, in fact trying to terminate my gym membership. i walk from the klcc lrt to and from my office every morning and evening. i think that's exercise enough!

and then the other day, my mom told that she read somewhere that those trying to get pregnant cant take cheese... darn it.. no more double cheese bun in the morning for me.. ish!

oh... for you gals trying to get preggie... take FOLIC ACID. you dont necessary have to be pregnant only to take folic acid.. you can take it even when you're trying to get pregnant.

FOLIC ACID is sometimes called folate, is a B vitamin (B9) found mostly in
leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach, orange juice, and enriched
grains. Repeated studies have shown that women who get 400 micrograms (0.4
milligrams) daily prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduce the
risk that their baby will be born with a serious neural tube defect (a birth
defect involving incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord) by up
to 70%

so i have been a good mommy-to-be and have been taking folic acid for a month plus already... i think folic acid is making my nails stronger. my nails doesnt break so easily now... but that's just me...

sleepy now.. need to daily dose of facebook before i sleep...

one year since the engagement..

2008-06-10T23:06:00.002+08:00

9 June 2008 - exactly one year ago… I got engaged to my then-boyfriend whom is my now-husband. How time flies… we have been married for 4 months and 9 days but hey who’s counting, right? Heheh…

I remember the day… it was a Saturday. I slept late the night before, helping out with the hantaran and all… I wasn’t nervous.. not at all… only when the ‘rombongan’ arrived… I got super-nervous.. heheh.. biasalah kan..

The event was at 4pm and I was already at 8am plus I think.. I had to go do my hair at the salon. I didn’t have any make-up artist coming over. It was a last minute thing. It was suppose to be a ‘sarung cincin’ thing but since my MIL wanted to give buah tangan so jadilah tunang with hantaran and all. I did the hantaran myself which got modified when my aunty came… cis! The theme was pink and my poor then-bf had to wear pink.. kih kih kih. Anyways… I did my hair at the salon.. came back at about 11am… got half ready coz it was SOOOO hot.. seriously panas ok.. and my house is small and no air-cond in the living room… can u imagine!

I started with my make-up at 2 pm.. yes I did my own make-up. My skin was so much better then.. seriously.. im having more problems with pimples and maybe acne now then I ever did before I got engaged. So wearing makeup was a breeze aka cepat!

Then cousins and aunties and uncles came. It was a small ‘do’ coz of space constraint.. but it was fun and panas! It rained at about 6 pm.. thanfully after everone ate. Later we found out why it only rained at 6pm… rupa-rupa nyer was boiling lesung (the pestel or was it the mortar, but the smaller stone of the pestel and mortar… are u confused??) and my brother switched off the fire at about that time… and it rained! Itu petua orang-orang dulu.. there are many that I’ve heard to avoid rain or bad things from happening at big events especially weddings.. My mom did something else too… tanam and campak something in the garden.. I cant remember what now. Will ask her later..

its been awhile...

2008-06-10T22:37:00.005+08:00

It has been awhile since I last wrote… I have been super busy with work and personal life.. * wink, wink * anyways… I have loads to tell..

First of all, I lost my hp again… the second time this year and within 2 months and I was just beginning to like my Nokia 6300.. I have my redang photos.. sedih jugaklah.. the thing is kan… I don’t know how I lost it.. seriously, I don’t. We had lunch at Rasa Sayang at Jln Yap Kwan Seng… I was on the phone with Mr. Hubby, so I still had it with me during lunch. After lunch, I went to Oldtown Kopitiam to get my all time favourite tea... “White Milk Tea”, I was quite sure I had it with me… then we went back to the office.

I wanted to call Mr. Hubby to tell him about my ‘white Milk Tea”.. I couldn’t find it.. called the restaurant… and of course they could ‘find’ it lah.. tak puas hati.. I wen tback to the reaturant.. looked for it myself and of course, I couldn’t find it. but I felt better since ‘I’ couldn’t fnd it.. look for it everywhere but takde jugak..

So that’s that…

I got a new hp now.. huhuhu… a better version of my Palm Treo 680… its Palm Centro… I likey like. Hehehe… so syok! The operating system is still the same as Treo 680 but its much lighter and cheaper too.. if it wasn’t cheaper, I wouldn’t have even look at it… much less buy it…

So, what else is new? Hhmmm… oh! I went to Bukit Tinggi over the weekend… well, the place was in the area but it was in some forest… okay.. despite being in the hutan and far from civilization, I had fun. It was actually a family day organized by my dad for his intake (this was the group of friends which joined the army).

the place was really pretty and huge!! seriously... it had river/stream running through... small waterfall, a medium-sized pond for fishing... they have this balinese style house with an adjoining open air bathroom... the bathroom had a small hut/ wakaf, a jacuzzi and of course shower and toilet.. so you can imagine how big the bathroom is. Mr. Hubby took photos of the bathroom but i havent the chance to get it from him.. nantilah..

long weekend...

2008-05-20T23:24:00.003+08:00

we had a long weekend last week...

it was spent mainly on our new home... its empty for now but soon it'll ready for occupancy. i cant wait...!!!

on saturday... we went over to the apartment to check out the contractors there and the showroom. the showroom is so cool and SO UNaffordable... the kitchen alone is about 28k... 28,ooo thousanf ringgit ok.. darn it... so now im hoping on the belas kasihan of FAMA to sponsor part of the renovation

anyone who knows good contractors??? affordable ones... please... please let me know k!

i cant believe the amount needed to fit it the fitting for the apartment... lights, fans, airconds... wiring... piping... seriously... its scary ok... it number just gets bigger and bigger.. haaiisshhh

im hoping for my bonus to pay off part of it... FAMA a big portion of it... and maybe take up a loan for the rest.. whaddya think? go or no go??

my left foot hurts prolly from walking from one kitchen showroom to another... i am so jakun and at awe at all the coolness and the canggih-ness of the kitchen... seriously so cool k. the cupboards have swivel drawers... no more shelves. instead pull out drawers which makes it easier to take your kitchen stuff... cool k..

and then we spent about the 2 to 3 hours walking around ikea... choosing and deciding which furniture to put in the apartment... so like married couple.. heheh... before this i always berangan of having my own place and living on my own but this is way cooler... which reminds me of a friend of mine who could palm read and she said that i wouldnt move out until i was married. i was SO dissappointed back then... back then was in 2006... heheh.. only 1 1/2 yrs ago. how time flies..

anyhow... mom went to see the contractor on sunday, just so she knows or have an idea of how my kitchen would look like... so we went and as usual my mom was more excited than we were. Mr. Hubby and i just kept quiet. what we wanted was just to put in kitchen cabinets and put the airconds. but she wanted us to have built in cabinet in the master bedroom and renovate the whole kitchen... woo hoo! if she's paying... by all means... do whatever you want.. hehehhehe

so now im excited at the prospect of moving in into a new place but not looking forward at the bills that we'll be incurring for the apartment..

any suggestions where to get cheap and pretty lights, cheap remote control ceiling fans, affordable washing machine and refridgerator... or other household stuff...

we are on a very tight budget..

blerghh

2008-05-15T23:01:00.002+08:00

enjoy!!

Redang and such

2008-05-06T21:25:00.002+08:00

Okay… first things first..

I still cant blog from the office so I have resorted to writing in MS Word and uploading from home. So, my updates will be slightly delayed

So, im back from our much-needed Redang trip… the place was beautiful but the company… I mean ppl around us wasn’t so great. There was too many cha ya nun alif. Too many for comfort… putting that aside together snorkeling, it was nice and very honeymoon-ish. Snorkeling was fun… on our own. The group snorkeling wasn’t so much fun because we went to the same snorkeling spots last year when we went to Perhentian. We went snorkeling by the beach. It was only like waist deep and there was many many fishies already. Really comel k!

The beach was nice… just nice but the water so clear. I tell you… I was jakun all over again. And not mention, so blue… Mr. Hubby said it was ridiculously blue. Be there at noon… with good weather of course and the view is like the ones you see on postcards… cantik giles k!

We ate, slept, snorkel and jalan – jalan… and we repeated that trend everyday for 4 days… heheh. Best! Because we stayed there for 3 nights, so we had BBQ dinner twice! Oddly enough, being on the island, we did NOT have any seafood the whole time we were there. Lansung takde except sotong bakar in foil during BBQ dinner… which wasn’t so nice according to Mr. Hubby. Hhmmm…. I didn’t have any of it fearing for any skin allergies that I might get. I did get an insect bite… which made me foot bengkak a little and very very itchy. Ade ade aje benda je lah!!

They had hammocks around the area and it is SO comfortable. I could easily fall asleep after whatever meal I had… most of time, I sleep, Mr. Hubby takes photos. He’s boring when he’s taking photos. Unless, of course he is taking photos of me! Heheh…

We did airbrush tattoo… there was 2 guys doing it. one of them is very comel. But Mr. Hubby didn’t want to take photos of them… so I don’t have any photos to show their ke-comel-an. Heheh… they both had afro hair and wore sunglasses that my sister has which I cant remember the name. Which makes all the more comel… Mr. Hubby tak suka.. heheh… and at our place, there were almost no mat salleh chics to feast his eyes on. Saya suka! Anyways… I had a four-leaf clover on my forearm and Mr. Hubby had a very comel looking dragon on his bicep. Its so comel (read: small) that when we tried taking photo of it, it looked rather small on his bicep… Mr. Hubby has big biceps! I like!

Then there was disco night for the partay peeper there…. “ Are you enjoy, partay peeper!!!?????” heheh… the song selection was o-kay… they palyed my all-time favourite song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”… to which I danced or prancing around Mr. Hubby who suddenly was a little shy.. chet!

If going to the East coast, take Konsortium Bas Ekspres. They are safe. Slow but surely… When we went to Perhentian, we took Mahligai. Driver drove like crazy. The works! Seriously.. ape u nak? Drive super fast… check. Cutting other busses/ lorries… check. Emergency braking… check! Psycho okay!! I was fearing for my life… I dah baca segala doa… whichever I memorized that is. My-then-boyfriend-now-Mr. Hubby slept all the way. I didn’t sleep a wink. Also, do not take Sani Ekspres. Driver also drove like crazy! Just like the Mahligai driver… I was very tempted to report but… oh yeah… it was also raining… I slept a little…

Friday, Saturday and Sunday went by like a breeze… its already Tuesday today. How time flies… I have been married for 3 months already… cool eh?! J

Went to Tini’s baby’s aqiqah… her baby is comel and small. But she is only a week old. After that, went to help my parents to take some stuff from my Tok’s house in Shah Alam. The house stank of cat. The house has been empty for quite a while now… helped me daddy to carry an old fashioned sewing machine onto the truck. Lugged other heavy stuff into the car… and had to unload everything including the very heavy sewing machine. The point is… my body is aching now! And I’m having my menses… upper body cramps and lenguhs due to heavy lifting (heheh…bunyi mcm terrer) and lower body cramps due menses… my Monday couldn’t have been better!!??? (please note the sarcasm)

Oh yeah… I have made vow (vow ke? ) to make oats for Mr. Hubby and myself every morning. Every workday mornings. So far, I’ve done it yesterday. We’re skipping today and tomorrow because Mr. Hubby has training so he wont have time to have the oats. But I made oats for myself. After, bingeing on lamb for 2 dinners in Redang, its time to slow down on the meat intake.

Post wedding reception

2008-04-27T13:49:00.003+08:00

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

2008-04-27T13:45:00.002+08:00

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

2008-04-27T13:32:00.003+08:00

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

2008-04-22T18:02:00.002+08:00

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...

2008-04-14T14:50:00.003+08:00

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!

2008-04-11T16:57:00.002+08:00

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

2008-04-11T16:51:00.002+08:00

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..

2008-04-10T16:30:00.006+08:00

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!!
