From Kuala Lumpur to Medan and Danau Toba, and Everything in Between - Pt1

2011-09-18T20:08:00.000+08:00

I just got back from Medan and Danau Toba, short holiday with my friends. Masya Allah... this island on island is simply breathtaking! Don't you agree?

I bought the tickets on impulse on Jan 2011 because I was browsing around Air Asia's website out of boredom when I found a very great deal (RM16 return ticket per person,wtf?) to Medan. Then I tweeted about it and my friend quickly get hers too. Fast forward 9 month later...

.......here we are, reading (or pretend to read ;p) the Indonesian map, routing ourselves around North Sumatera.

Living proof that we actually just pretending. We got Supir to drive us around actually. :p

While I was there, I kept thinking that I should blog about the tips and whatnot on Medan (specifically Danau Toba) holiday because there are so many things that we are no aware of and couldn't get enough information from the net. ( or am I too dumb that I don't know how to google?). I won't share much about things to do because there are numerous website giving info about that, but more on little little things like how to behave at the airport, supir, timing, fares and others.

Anyway, let me start with the very beginning.

LCC TERMINAL, KUALA LUMPUR - POLONIA AIRPORT, MEDAN

Our KUL-MES flight was scheduled on the 15th of September, 0740hrs. Well here's a little "interesting story" about our departure the other day. We nearly missed the flight! (0_o). We took SkyBus from KL central and we missed the the 5.30am bus and was forced to wait another 30 min for the next bus to depart. The journey took a solid 1 hour, it was already 7am when we reached LCCT! Thank God for mobile check in! We were a bit relax after we arrived at LCCT since the ticket showed 0710hrs departure time, so we off to perform our subuh 1st but boy oh boy apparently the departure time was 0700hrs! And the Air Asia staff gave a really good panic attack on us that we practically running towards gate T72 thinking that the whole flight was waiting for us. But actually, the plane was so far off the gate and our 400m dash deserves a gold medal in Olympic that we were among the earliest to board the plane. Such a drama. Haha.

On the plane finally. BIG tips, don't fall asleep without finished packing or you end up in such a drama like us!

It took only 1 hour to reach Polonia Airport, Medan. But since we haven't had our breakfast yet and we were sort of really exhausted from the drama earlier we decided to buy breakfast on board. A freaking RM23 breakfast. But oh, I really have to mention this, Air Asia's Tandoori Wrap is the yummiest! We end up buying another 2 pack on our flight back to KL and I am drooling while typing this.

Touched down Polonia Airport on time, passed the immigration and horas! welcome to Medan.

A few tips on Polonia Airport:-

They don't mind photography. Snap while you can!
Upon exiting the airport, a lot of people will come to you offers taxi or even grabbing the bag from you. They will follow you although you said no. So if you want a cab, took a Blue Bird's cab because they charged based on meters so you won't get rip off.
If you are going somewhere distance like Lake Toba and haven't make any arrangement yet, ask around 1st. Bus is the cheapest alternative but not advisable because it will take you longer time. If you travel in group take a supir in minivan (our case is Toyota Innova) instead. They charge Rp600k to Rp700k per car so the more people you travel with, the cheaper it will be). Bear in mind, if you take the minivan, you have to pay for their meal also. Normally there will be 1 stop for meal before you reach Lake Toba.
Whatever "hospitality" that they offer at the airport comes with a price. So pick up you own bags, check in and find the way yourself if don't want to end up paying them anything. You may say no but they will still help you and demand a fee in return.
Airport tax is Rp75k per person that you can pay at the left side of the entrance door before you depart from Medan.
No bottled water is permitted at the waiting area. But they allow you to go in and out as you pleased and you may drink the water outside.

That's all about the airport. Will write about getting to Lake Toba in the next post.

Till then. :)

Las Vacas, Mont' Kiara

2011-07-02T23:17:00.001+08:00

Best.Steak.Ever. Hands down.

Got to know about this from foxyfarah's blog. Decided to give a try today since all of us didn't take any breakfast, we deserve a feast. They have 2 outlets if I am not mistaken (Kelana Jaya & Mont' Kiara) but we went to Mont' Kiara because it is nearer to our house.

Parking was no problem. We parked alongside of the road. It's illegal but most people park there. Oh, for those who wanna know the location, it's at Mont' Kiara Shoplex, next to Baskin Robbin and near the new 1Mont Kiara shopping complex.

With my beautiful daughter. The one and only.

Right before indulging the meat. Still looks slim. hehe

The meat lover

Sauces

Mine. Beef Wraps. So yummy I am drooling while typing this. The portion is not so big tho. Good for weight watcher's like me (yeah right!). They have veges and cheese melted inside.

Husband choose all day breakfast since he was still in the breakfast mood. Not bad either. Combination of steak, lamb, turkey strips, big size hotdog, sunny side up egg, and salads. For the 1st time I prefer beef rather than lamb. Drooling!!

After finish eating we decided to have ice-cream for dessert. Actually we kind of promised Rania that she can have an ice-cream if she go shower that morning.

Lucky she didn't recognised this pink logo is actually an ice-cream logo. Hehehe

So we walked further down to Plaza Mont' Kiara and....

......having a Mc Donald's ice cream instead. Jimatttt duit. hehe

This was taken by my daughter. She's all grown now can take picture of mummy. *wipe tears*

Anyway, I don't think I will be visiting Victoria Station of San Francisco Steak House for a looooooooong time. :)

The lucky part of being unlucky

2011-07-02T19:03:00.000+08:00

So, I was admitted (again) to DHS last Tuesday but discharged now with a big hole underneath my left armpit. Goodbye to sleeveless. God loves me so much, he constantly scarred my body so I will dress appropriately.

This was before the surgery.

Anyway, the doctor gave me a week to rest but dear God I barely even sit let alone resting at my home because......my sister's handbag was snatched by a motorcyclist theft the day I was discharged from the hospital! She was on the way back after visiting me and was stopping for red light when suddenly a motorcyclist crashed her window and took her bag away!

She is fine btw. Just a bit depressed because she lost her Coach Sabrina Bag, her iPhone complete with charger and her RM1000 worth of make ups.

Well, guess who's gotta teman her here and there to replace her IC and etc?

Yes, she don't care that I have to rest. She blame me because she got snatched AFTER visiting me. (T_T)

But hey, I am a super nice sister plus I am NOT capable of sitting in the house and doing nothing.

So guess what is the 1st thing she did after replacing all her important documents?

The lucky part of being a snatch theft victim.

She is one happy lady now. Forgot about her loss already.

Really, if i were to lose my handbag, I will be devastated if I lost my iPhone too. I mean come on.. we would drive all the way back home if we accidentally left our iPhone at home aren't we?

But, she was not the only one who was on cloud 9 the other day.

eheheheheheheh

The Wall of Frames

2011-06-13T00:30:00.001+08:00

Ever since we moved to our current house, I've been wanting to do a wall of frames along our hallway. The idea is to hang as much multi-colored and multi-sizes of frames as it can be. But after one year, our wall still empty the idea remains as idea. (T_T)

My number one problem is of course too lazy to pick and edit pictures. The bad side of having a digital camera . Thousand of photo for each event we went. Editing is one more thing. Lazy! But not urban la if don't edit kan? LOL. Okey not funny.

Anyway, few weeks back we bought a new sofa to replace our current one that is so ugly and uncomfortable. We bought it few years back when money was really tight then. Alhamdulillah, now got extra rezeki, we can finally change it to the new one.

So with the new sofa, I got exited all over again to proceed with the Wall of Frames idea. So far, I have selected and edited 50 pictures and counting (yeay!) and now in the process to print and finally hang them all. Let's hope that by next week the wall is full and beautiful. Might share with you guys later IF the plan is a success. Haha. Kalau buruk diam-diam sudah. For the mean time, this is a few that I picked. I personally love them so much! Never thought that the simple and stupid picture can be such personal. :)

Rania = shrek.

OMG loveeee this.

My beautiful daughter. Can be such a heart breaker in the future don't you think?

Okey, I want to hang this picture until she's 25! Haha

OMG, I just realised that I am the one who took all the photo. I can be a nice photographer, no?

Sleep Mode

2011-05-31T01:12:00.000+08:00

I would love to write again.

No bullshit.

The truth is, I used to write when I was in the office. There and then was the perfect place and time when I have tons of idea what to write. Didn't have that privilege anymore tho. Current job require full concentration (and limited access to the internet.) (T_T)

Lets not whine about that shall we?

Anyway, it was 5 minutes passed 1 am and I am so sleepy. I slept for 2 hours only yesterday and been working till 9pm, home only at 11pm took a shower, nap a bit and here I am explaining myself to you guys why I am still up at this hour. pfft. Is this the life you really looking forward to read about? i doubt it.

I shall sleep now. I am starting to write crap (T_T).

Good night world. It's good to know you still remember me. :)

Sometime ago at one of my favorite place in the world

A picture..

2011-05-04T15:59:00.002+08:00

So that you won't forget me.

Sorry I am not on top of the game lately. I lost my touch. Will write back.. Maybe soon maybe not so soon. :)

Have a nice day!

Italian Anyone?

2011-02-28T00:22:00.002+08:00

Italiannies, One Utama. Feb 27,2011

I am starting to fall in love with the new hijab style I am wearing. I hope that this love will eventually help me to be full time hijabi, Insya Allah.

Although at some angle I really look like an Indonesian (thanks to my big fat face) but don't care lah. Husband said I am pretty so Indon or no Indon, I am cool with that. (^_^)

Anyway, this was taken when we were having our lunch at Italiannies earlier.

Complimentary bread. This is the one that I heart the most every time. EVERY TIME! and it's FREE.

This time we opt for their Classic 2 course meal since the husband is not feeling very well and their portion is quite generous. Then we add another ala-carte kids meal for Rania. Just nice for the 3 of us. :)

Appetizer : Toasted Bruschetta

This appetizer is the ultimate winner if you ask me. Never fail me. Not even once. No matter which outlet we went, the tomatoes they used are really really fresh, marinated perfectly and the Pesto sauce is TDF definitely.

Main Course: Fettuccine Amatriciana

This is the 1st time I tasted this. When it comes to pasta, I am really old-fashioned one. I only dare to eat bolognise, carbonara, and olio oglio, but I am so tempted to try other pasta ever since I watched Julia Roberts eats her pasta in Eat, Pray, Love. Well this is the 1st step of many many more to come!

Close up. We put grated parmesan on top. OMG it was so goooooodddddd! Tomatoes is still the base. Not far off than bolognise. :)

This is kiddy meal. Fried chicken with Pomodoro Sauce.

I am crazy over pineapple juice so this Yellow Birdie is my choice every time.

We went for shopping after that. Nothing new about that though. But silly me bought a top ( I really want that top since forever!) and 2 scarves only to find out that I have no scarf to go with the new top and no tops to go with the new scarves. Good news is now I have reason to go shopping again but bad new is I can't wear that top yet. :(

*******

On a different matter, we went to our dear friend's birthday party on Saturday at Octavia, Sri Hartamas. Such an awesome place for party. The place has a BIG ASS KING SIZE BED AT THE LIVING ROOM PEOPLE! Theme for the day is Morroccan but me didn't 100% comply with the theme. But at least I wore the right color!

My point is I LOVE MY SCARF! So i want to show off to the whole world. Haha.

Kbye!

P/S: This is such a lengthy post to make up with my silence last week. forgive me okey. :)

Life is a pure blessing

2011-02-24T01:56:00.000+08:00

Lately, I never talk about my feelings anymore. Not like last time when I pour every single thing here.
Though life is not that great for me sometime, I tried not to hold onto that feeling. I learned to let go and move on. Learned to see things in a different angle. Most of the time it works wonder.

But sometime, it didn't. Just like today.

Before I reached home, my plan was to write down my feelings in my blog. I am so angry and sad at the same time. But, in between my plan and actually reaching home, I played with my sick kid at Mum's, brought her out for dinner, went home after dinner, realized that i left my home keys at mum's, went back to mum's place to get the keys, went back home again, played with my sick kid (again) at home, scolded her then soothes her then scolded her again and soothes her again, tug her to bed, and now, i am completely forgotten why am I so angry before.

Oh well, maybe next time.

For all I know, even life is not that great sometime, there will always be something else that we have that can make life feels great again. We just have to know where to find it.

This is where my heart and life belong....

Best Nasi Lemak....(so far)

2011-02-16T22:55:00.000+08:00

Nasi Lemak Kedai Kuning, Kg Sungai Penchala

This is superb I tell you and I hereby crown this Nasi Lemak as the most humbly delicious nasi lemak ever.

Okey, I know I crowned Chawan Nasi Lemak before but sadly they are not consistent. Been there 3 times and the taste differs each time. So it is not fair if I said that they have the best Nasi Lemak and then when you guys read my review then go there but it doesn't taste that good pun. They you guys said I am lying pulak. (T_T)

But this one...oh boy.. Eat there like more than 10 times already and they tasted the same. Deliciously same! The nasi lemak is so simple but they still preserve the originality. They still add santan and daun pandan to the rice so it is so fragrance that you don't mind eating the rice only. The sambal is hot enough, ikan bilis garing and cucumber is so fresh. I don't know how to describe it but this is the ultimate best close to home-cooked nasi lemak so far.

How to get there?

Enter Penchala link and turn left to Sungai Penchala (turn right if you are from Mon't Kiara). Left again at the traffic light. (you'll see a mosque opposite opposite you). Go straight until u see a kedai runcit on your left. The stall is in between the kedai runcit and motorcycle workshop.

Lisa, why are you so pretty?

2011-02-15T00:15:00.001+08:00

I am in loveeeeeeee with the blazer!

Can fat person like me wears that and look just as beautiful as she is?

Nilai 3 : A few tips and an awesome curtain

2011-02-08T00:49:00.000+08:00

I was thinking about changing my curtains since last September but never really had a chance to do so (got money, no time. Got time, no money. Got time and money, lazy). Not that I hate my current curtain but each time my opposite neighbor and me opened our doors, i can see right through their house straight to their curtains and they can see mine, I feel so embarrassed I tell you. My curtain looks like nothing but a piece of ugly cloth hanging on my wall (T_T).

Ugly right? Who the hell bought this curtain anyway?? (T_T)

So last Saturday, I was supposed to go to a friend's wedding in Melaka. I was all dressed up and I even brought a bag full of clothes and swimming suits just in case we decided to stay in Melaka for a night. But at Plus Highway near Nilai there was a massive traffic going south and the weather was so freaking hot hubs told me that he was not in the mood to drive in this kind of situation. Plus it was nearly 1 pm at that time and we are afraid that the ceremony is already over by the time we reach there. So hubs said he wanna turn back to KL but we were so close to exit Nilai so I said why not. Lets take the exit and go to Nilai 3. I heard there's a lot of choices for curtains.

So glad we make that turn. Because it definitely turn my living area from zero.....

To HERO!

This one is the color without lighting. Ignore the masham kid at the middle.

A few tips if you are going to Nilai 3

Most stores operate from morning till 8pm sometimes up to 9pm on heavy crowd day.
Oh and they open on public holiday too!
It is freaking hot there, so don't forget to bring drinking water to hydrate yourself so that you can think clearly before making any purchase. But if you forgot, it's ok because there are so many stalls selling drinks and foods.
But better not to eat so much. The toilets are super dirty.
Most shops sells similar things. Example, they have like 6 different curtain shops in a single lane! So better if you pick the lane that attract you the most, park and then walk from end to end.
If you are looking for curtain like me, better you survey at least 3 shops and compare prices because the price differs from one to another even though they are selling the same thing! Don't be surprise sometimes the difference is up to RM10 per meter!
Lastly, bargain! bargain! bargain!

And I bought an accessories organizer too! You know me, I am not a very neat & tidy person so normally I will chuck all my accessories inside my drawer and all the necklace will be tangled with each other. Then, I'll be too lazy to separate them and worst I'll forgot that I even owned one! So, I was looking for an organizer and wallah! see how neat & tidy I am now.. hehe

Definitely going there again. We are aiming for a big size mirror next and another curtain to replace my bedroom's curtain. :)

Tutti Frutti Substitute : JCool Frozen Yogurt from JCo

2011-02-07T00:03:00.000+08:00

JCo, Pavillion. Feb 4, 2011

I swear this froyo is so yummy and value for money. First time I had it was in Bandung.

Unlike Tutti Frutti, JCool price is fixed and you can pick your desired toppings to go with the froyo. It saves me from getting heart attack when paying. Can't really remember the price but the one that we bought is RM10.60 (tax incl) consist of 1 froyo and choice of 3 toppings. We choose peach, grapes, and longan.

The size of froyo and how much the toppings are determined by your luck (err maybe being cute also might help) because it is up to the shop assistant how much they want to give you. See the photo above, that was mine and my cute friend gets double my size (T_T). Not fair! But I have to admit she's cute while I am 1 kg near obesity *looks down.wipe tears.slowly disappear*.

Cute friend with her super cute tembamdebabnakgeget baby

Anyway, the downside is they only have the original flavor for their froyo which is fine with me because I don't fancy flavored yogurt. And some more, no chocolate syrup or whatsoever to go with it which is fineeee with me also. Conclusion if you ask me, no downside lah. Hehe.

So if you haven't tried it yet, go to JCo (So far I only went to JCo at Pavilion and Giant, Kota Damansara) and buy one. It might be your favorite too.

Late Night Snack - PapaHotdog @ Rasta

2011-02-04T22:49:00.004+08:00

*Updated : They open every Wednesday to Sunday from 8pm onwards*

PapaHotdog @ Rasta, TTDI, Jan 21, 2011

We love food. Well, me obviously. From where do you think this double chin and spare tyre came from?
Whatever. When a women gotta eat, she gotta eat.

Anywayyyy, my favorite midnight snack stall must be Papa Hotdog @ Rasta. Not just because the owner is my friend (ehem ehem kasi komisyen skit), but because the hotdog is really really really yummy!

Not lying. I never lied when it comes to food. Nah, see these and prepare to wipe your saliva from the desk.

If that is not enough to convince you, here is the list of other hot dogs they are selling. (And yes, the yellow colour is cheeseeeeeee)

Complete with price. Very reasonable considering their size and cheese

So, next time you feel hungry at night. Grab your keys, drive to Rasta, Taman Tun Dr Ismail and look for this two hot guy for a super yummy delicious hot dog you will ever tasted (errkk.. that doesn't sounds right. LOL)

Oh they steamed the hot dog by the way. Not fried. Good news for those who watching their weight. Hehe

They open every night. Go there and try it yourself okey. Then tell me what you think.

End it with my pictures. Hehe. I know you miss me. haven't update the blog for quite some time.

Playing pacman. Huge Pacman.

My company for the night. Love you babe. :)

Teaser : Busy Mode On

2011-01-27T22:02:00.000+08:00

Hello.

I am trying my best to keep up with my life now so updating this will be the last thing in my to do list,

Just a teaser for my next updates

The best night snack in KL

Cutest angel alive

Till then.

Velvet is my new name

2011-01-21T01:53:00.003+08:00

The Daily Grind, Bangsar Village. Jan 20, 2011

Nothing much can do when a public holiday falls on Thursday. But KL is empty though. Probably most people took Friday off.

We are still more or less looking for the perfect slice of Red Velvet cake. No specific reason. We just love hunting for food. We tried Alexis but apparently they didn't sell Red Velvet cake. So, off we go to Bisou but on the way we saw The Daily Grind and decided to give it a try since we already tasted Bisou Red Velvet cake.

Big size. RM12 per slice

The little one enjoyed the most. The cream is too sweet to my liking.

But the cake is nice...texture is velvety enough. I ate only the cake and leave the cream behind. And I don't think it was a cream cheese because it tasted nothing but sugar.

But the interior is nice. They have other things too in their menu. The waiter suggested for us to take their beef ribs. It costs RM55 and the portion is big enough for 2. But we didn't ordered though. Decided to go opposite and ate Chawan nasi lemak instead. And I would like to officially took back their award as "the best nasi lemak in KL". Not consistent. It does not tasted as good as the last time I ate.

Simple and nice

-
Maybe will go there again to try their ribs. Just maybe...

P/S: I meet another blogger there. Hai Tina! Nice to finally meet you. *waves shyly*

Tutti Frutti, Frozen Yogurt

2011-01-16T20:46:00.001+08:00

Tutti Frutti @ The Curve, PJ. Jan 16, 2011

I was bored to death as the husband was down with headache. He slept the whole day! So I cooked for lunch and dinner then text Nadot for a chillex session and being a good friend (they all are), she agree that instant!

So, she proposed to invite Dr. Juju as well since we haven't hang out for quite a while. She was on call and had been up since 6 am. It really means a lot when she said yes (even though I think Nadot kind of force her to join us.haha) Then, I tweet about it and Amal said she wanted to tag along as well. So off we go to The Curve!

This was my 1st time eating Tutti Frutti. I heard about it so many times and anxious to try since all of them give good remarks. But one thing for sure they "forgot" to mention is how pricey that thing are. it's RM5++ per 100g and quite impossible for you to take only 100g! So, I end up paying RM19 for a cup of froyo! And it melted so fast we end up drinking it.

Sorry no picture. The froyo is melting man! Better swallow quickly. Haha.

Verdict, despite the price tag it was gooooood. Personally I love the original flavor and my friend said peach flavor also nice. Don't mind go there over and over again but this time I have to find a sponsor. :)

Go try it youself.

I am blessed. I am content.

2011-01-16T15:27:00.000+08:00

I haven't blog about my birthday celebration yet...and not intending to do so. Please click this for details. My friend already update the whole event for you guys. Top to bottom. She's a first timer and I think it's not bad at all. :) Please go and leave your comments. Give her a little bit of support will you?

Although I didn't update it here but from the bottom of my heart, this was the best celebration ever. It was really close to my heart. It was everything.

Looking back at the party, I am really really glad that I married my husband. He may not be perfect in every way but I am very glad that he click well with my friends. Well enough to plan a surprise party with them. Well enough to converse with them through emails, facebook, and telephone. I don't think I'll have a surprise party with my friends if he did not click well with them.

I met my husband when I was in my college years and non of my beloved friends went to the same college as mine. I was alone there. (T_T) So, they did not know each other at first but he was really sporting to join most of our get together outings, be it if he was only guy there and had to be our photographer. haha. He did not make noise when I went on and on talking to my friends for hours...ignoring him. Doesn't feel embarrassed with our loud voice and laugh. (you know how embarrassed it is to go out with a bunch of very very vain ladies)

And then there are my friends. Who are really really nice to allow my husband to join most of our activities even at that time, most of them are single. Who tried to make conversation with him. To make him a part of us. To welcome him into the clan. I can not thank you guys enough. You all are the reason I can still be young and hip even though I am a wife and a mother. You guys accept me for who I am. :)

Thank you husband, for knowing that a big part of my happiness are with them. And for not keeping me for you alone. For allowing me to be me. Even after I marry you.

Thank you friends, for pulling extra chairs, making extra space for my tiny family to fit into.

I am blessed. I am content. :)

P/S: Thanks to all your husbands as well. They are all super cool right?

If this is a disease, I think I need help.

2011-01-14T01:34:00.000+08:00

Pavilion - Jan 12, 2011

My husband always ask me why women need so many shoes ( so uncool lah you husband asking me that kind of question!) He said I only have one pair of foot. He don't see the relations between my glowing face with the cute shoe on my feet (which happens every month)

Well let me give you an answer dear uncool husband.

Yes, we women have only 1 feet but we have 365 days in a year don't we? And if we split a day to day event and night event, we will need 730 pairs of shoes right?? Not only that, we also have to own a pair for each color to match with our glamorous dress. You don't want me to wear blue dress with green shoes don't you? And don't start giving me idea to use only black shoe because it will match with everything. Please, don't upset my feet. They have feelings too you know.

Plus, who can resist this kind of temptation?

Not even this young lady, apparently!

I teach her well, don't you think?

So dear husband, do you have anything else to add?

The birthday gift

2011-01-10T23:23:00.002+08:00

Wore it to work today. So semangat. I woke up super early because can't wait to parade my handbag to the whole world. Haha.

Thanks again guys! You guys don't have any idea how happy I am.

Good night!

To Die For: Chili Crab @ Newton, Singapore

2011-01-10T22:45:00.003+08:00

*Excuse the picture quality. I don't know what happened and how to fix it*

Contradict to what you people might think, main reason I went to Singapore the other day is not to shop. The husband actually had a wedding to attend in JB and the sister wanted to go and meet her long lost friend in Singapore. So I thought, why not? Let the husband be single for the day, enjoying his days with all his friends (who also happen to be wife-less for the day) and me accompany my sister to Singapore. (yes, I am cool like that one)

Days before we actually there, the sister already had the day all plan up, including where to eat!

So we heard that Singapore is really famous with their chili crab and being a food junkie, we ask my sister friend to bring us to the most delicious chili crab ever in Singapore.

Well, she did brought us.....to the nearest food court to her house! Haha.

To go here, just take MRT to Newton. It's nearby. Walking distance. I don't know how to explain but just ask any local passerby.

We choose this stall Heng Heng BBQ - Stall No 31 and it so happen that the owner (or helper, I dunno) is a Malaysian! So he gave a really really good service to us! And he is damn funny too.

See the crab? OMG so big. I know.

My sister posing with one hell of a BIG FAT crab. Which after 5 minutes.....

........became this. Yummy!!! Eh eh kesian En. Crab.. hehe

This butter prawn is also super yummy. The best I've tasted so far

Man Tao. Tak pernah terfikir nak makan Man Tao cicah Chilli Crab until that day. Super duper double orgasm! :)

Other than that we ordered baby kailan in oyster sauce. The dish was prepared for 4 person. And it only cost us SGD66! So cheap!

Go eat chili crab the next time you visit Singapore will you? Better yet go to this stall. I promise you, you'll never be disappointed.

2011 blabbing.

2011-01-02T01:53:00.003+08:00

How was your 1st day of 2011?

Mine? Usual. Spent half of the day in the office.

Save your comment please. I know it is a public holiday but my boss is from Mars. Forgive him. He don't know that 1st Jan is actually a holiday for us earthlings. Pfft!

Eh eh, did you know that the bullshit double/triple pay that you are suppose to receive if you work on public holiday is just applicable to clerks and below? If you are higher than that, you will get paid in whatever rate the company decide to put.

In my case it is RM100 per day. Cilakak tak? Even my normal daily salary is higher than that! And that RM100 is before tax! Please count what is left after that. (T_T) I'll pass the pay and take additional leave instead. So that makes my total of paid leaves for 2011 to be ... 30 days!

What is a better way to utilize them other that travel & tours!!

So, I have numbers of places already in mind. What I need now is cash.

Anybody want to give me any?

Goodbye 2010 and Welcome 2011!

2010-12-31T10:31:00.000+08:00

I know.. I still owe Chilli Crab post to you. But, lets take a break from food a bit okey? I'll serve you that later.

Anyway, 1 day to new year!!
I don't have time to plan my year or cracking up my head for new resolutions this year. I am too busy and I am actually in denial and trying my hard not to think about new year because being in a reporting line means super busy to close the year end books for the company by year end.

No complain though. I choose this line, I know. Whatever, not planning to blab about this.

Where am I just now? Oh yes, new year.

So, I am quite sad to leave this year but at the same time exited for the new year to come. 2010 has been a really good year for me. Starting with my birthday where I finally own an iPhone.. Ohhhhh that's the love of my life.. Life will not be the same without it anymore. Then a birthday present from the husband.. No need to reveal lah but I heart them soo much!

Then my sister Aien, came and stay with us. That was so much fun!! The house if full of laughter and parties! Thank you darling for all the fun stuff we did together.

2010 also the year where i went and travel to so many places! Of couse it is not Paris or LA but we really do see lots of places locally and abroad. Too bad, i am so bad at writing journals on places that I went. It's ok. Pictures say a thousand words right?

In march, I also have enough guts that until now I don't believe I have. I quit my job without any other job waiting. Alhamdulillah that shows that we are getting stable financially. Most people stay in a job they hate because they have too and I can proudly say, I don't have to. Of course now there is a bit (a bit??) damage done on our savings because of that but we'll survive. I have faith. And now I end up in far better place to work. Though I work longer hour now but at least I am happy. :)

Being jobless for a while also do me good. I learn that it is not easy to be a housewife. I mean a real housewife who cooks and cleans and take care of the children perfectly. Not the kind of housewife that gossips and watching soap opera then complain penat. Pfftt. And also I learn how judgemental people are with housewife. It's like they are dumb or something but I can still remember the looks in the eyes when I say I didn't work that time. Biarlah.. What goes around comes around.

Not much happens after I join the new company.. I've been working like hell. Let's just hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyway, for new year I have yet to think of resolutions other than loosing weight ( yeah right!) and earning more. I'll post something when I have a clue.

Until then,

HAPPY NEW YEAR from fatiyahh.blogspot.com!

From Orchard with Love

2010-12-27T19:01:00.004+08:00

Hi all,

Forgive my non-existence new post lately due to work.

Worry not. Will resume for updates from Singapore day trip I had yesterday.

Gosh, I swear to God so many people at Orchard yesterday. It's like walking at Time Square! (not that I have the experience though). My uncle told me it's because only Orchard Rd is lighted up for the festive seasons. Not like here in Malaysia. You can see so many Festive decoration everywhere. It's even snowing at Pavilion! Haha.

Can you see??

Apart from the the weather and shopping part, I think I love Malaysia more than everything in the world. :)

Okey. Will torture you guys with my Chilli Crab post after this. Sands & Sunshines has become a food blog now ey? haha

See you guys!

Foxy Red Velvet Cupcake by +wondermilk

2010-12-21T23:53:00.001+08:00

So, I have this love-hate relationship with my job and yesterday was definitely Hate with capital H! Stressed, I can't think of anything else that can make me feel better other than a yummy Red Velvet Cake. The only challenge was to find a cake house that was still open at 9.

We tried our luck at Just Heavenly, Plaza Damansara because when I googled, most people recommend Just Heavenly's red velvet. But sadly they closed at 7. (T_T) Then I remembered +wondermilk and decided to give it a try.

My past experience with +wondermilk was not a good one. I feel like their cuppies are too sweet to my liking. And for not so yummy small cuppies hell it's expensive!

Small!

Lucky for me there was one left. We took another flavour as well-Oreo, Cheese, and Chocolate cuppies. They put fancy fancy name, can't remember.

But what I do remember is the drink. Because it cost me freaking RM9 for a latte in a Ikea cheap small glass. Yep you heard me right. Insane.

Okey okey I might be bitter a bit. It is not that bad.. Sure the cupcake is average and and a bit expensive but the deco is so nice and cozy. If you ask me, I wouldn't mind going there again to hang out with my friends who are so happen to be a cam freak! And definitely it does makes me feel better and sugar high for the night.

Nice place right?

The husband getting comfy on their super cozy sofa.

Anyway, i do enjoy it and although the Foxy Red Velvet was not up to my expectation, still it helps to lighten up my day.

Wanna eat and cam-whoring one shot? Visit them.

+wondermilk, Damansara Uptown.

Weekend: Giant Mozza Burger from A&W

2010-12-19T22:22:00.000+08:00

Current Craze : Giant Mozza Burger

**************

We only had few ringgits in our pocket since my mum "pinjam" our money to pay for some emergencies right before we leave the house. So, we planned to have dinner at Green House Mamak (again!) but they were closed. Penny-less, we opt for Kepong Village Mall because they have ATMs there.

Initially wanna eat Little Taiwan (yes, again! we really have to broaden our food choices), but as usual, my daughter screaming for ice-cream. So, A&W it is.

I tell you, the fries tasted healthier than Mc Donalds. I don't know about you guys but my tongue feels a bit strange each time I ate Mc Donald's fries. Me don't like!

But the superstar for the night must be Giant Mozza Burger ordered by the husband. It's BIG, with double patties and cheese all over it! Good stuff. I think this burger is new because last time we went there we saw only normal Mozza Burger.

And A&W won't be A&W without the float. Don't know how they do it but no other drinks can beat A&W root beer for floats.

Will update more on our weekend but I have to warn you, all about foods. :)

Have a great Monday!

The Food That Can Make You Cry

2010-12-18T02:23:00.005+08:00

I know. I know. I've been posting about nothing but foods lately but that was the only activity that I did since I was burying myself in piles and piles of workloads the whole week.

So, forgive me.

*****************

Who doesn't like mamak? Don't call yourself a true Malaysian if you don't. (Emo). Hehe.

I do. I like having Roti Canai, Tosei, Mee Goreng Mamak, etc. When I was young, my dad used to drive us to mamak for Roti Canai before he went to work. And I remember when I was even younger, I complained to my dad that I am embarrassed to go to mamak because I don't see any girls there. LOL. Those were the days...

Anyway, this mamak near my house really really brings back my old memories about mamak and roti canai. The small stall by the road, aluminium tables and stools, low volume of tamil's background songs.. The foods...ahhhhh...the foods... Soft and crunchy Roti Canai, delicious dhal, and addictive teh tarik..Nearly cry with every bite because it is soooo gooooddd..

No LCD or big screen TV. Horrible over priced foods and tasteless drinks. Most of mamak nowadays like that, don't you think?

Promise me you will give it a try if it's so happen that you are in the neighborhood okey?

Green House Mamak Stall @ Taman Bukit Maluri, Kepong.

See? I told you it is good. She was having roti canai with dhal,

Instagr.am

2010-12-15T00:50:00.001+08:00

Who doesn't like this?

My choice will always be Italian BMT (bread-Parmesan Oregano)

What's your choice?

*********

I am now currently crazy over Instagr.am on my iPhone. Cool apps I tell you. Can change the most crappy picture to be oh so sexy! Who needs DSLR anymore, right? RIGHT? Oh just me because I'm too bimbo to learn how to use it. (T_T)

And I love the way they combine it with Foursquare and post in on Facebook. Oh oh and we can follow people also!Just admit that we love to stalk other people's pictures especially the pretty one. Now you can do it without having to read their boring, long and annoying status update! Cool huh?

Go go and try. Search Instagram in appstore and download it for free.

The Best Nasi Lemak in KL

2010-12-14T00:31:00.001+08:00

So far this is the best I've tasted (other than my own cooking of course. Haha)

This is with ayam kampung by the way. The chicken is so juicy I feel like suicidal after the 1st bite. And team it up with Teh Tarik oh-so-divine!

Taste it yourself and tell me are we in the same page?

Chawan @ Jalan Telawi, Bangsar.
Opposite Bangsar Village (new building)

P/S: Girls, let's have our breakfast session here nak?

I might be busy for a while

2010-12-13T00:10:00.000+08:00

I'll start work again tomorrow. Hope I will still have time to update my blog. Whatever it is, I have a great time during my time off and now it's time again to work my butt off.

The only thing that I will miss the most is my gym session.. How I wish I still can easily go to the gym on weekdays after this.

And of course my family time with the whole tiny family of mine.. Gonna miss having my baby woke me up and wish me good morning (usually my daughter is still asleep when I leave for work)

Anyway, till then. Have fun people and have a great Monday!

This apps is soooo cool right?

Movie in 5?

2010-12-11T23:34:00.004+08:00

Have I ever mention that I love this one new mall near my house?

It has TESCO and the most important is cinema! Now we can leave home 5 minutes before movie start, park right in front of the entrance (free parking, mind you), still got plenty of time to buy popcorns, and can dress like Ah Beng no one cares! Oh Oh and they got 3D also. How cool is that?

So last week, (after few weeks of coaxing my sister how cool it is to watch movie there) me and my sister took our kids for Repunzel. Great movie love it love it love it! But what to love more is the fact that the cinema was empty.

See? Not lying.

And that was the 1st time I bought my 2yo to the cinema. I imagine it will be a disaster with her and another 3 of my sister kids inside the cinema but boy oh boy she surely behave and glued to her chair until the end of the movie!

So behave sitting in the middle and playing with her cousins before the movie starts. I heart you baby! Taking care of you is so easy since the beginning. :)

Oh and we had our lunch at Little Taiwan. Love their Loh Shi Fun. So damn yummy. That's the only menu that I can eat by the way. Other foods I found it not to my liking.

Nom..Nom..Nom..

She's doing peace sign yo!

Anyway, had a blast that day and even without husband I can survive. Yeah! But of course because I know I have my sister to count on. I respect mummy who can go jalan-jalan with toodler alone. Me? Duduk rumah je la.. :)

The sister and me. She wore heels that's why she is taller than me. Actually she is NOT! Haha

Sister's Sister.

2010-12-10T00:21:00.011+08:00

Got it! My sister belanja. Hehehehe

Unlike last year, I think I won't be getting much doses this time. No Starbucks near my office and my hell work schedule make it more impossible. Good thing is I can save money. I am aslso trying to reduce my caffeine intake by the way. So it is a good thing that I don't crave for it badly this time. *I'm trying to pujuk myself people* (T_T)

Oh and she took the picture also. Seronok betul ada paparazi. Senang nak update blog.

My two weeks of cuti cuti was nothing but fun fun fun! (Err.. what's not fun about cuti?). I had my plans lining up even way before my days off. Among my plans are:-

Shopping * Forever 21 @ One Utama*

Dining * Garden Lifestyle Cafe @ The Curve*

Gym * Fitness First @ Empire Gallery Subang*

Nerdy mode *Borders @ Bangsar Village*

Cam-whoring * One Utama *

More Dining * The Teh Tarik Place @ Empire Gallery, Subang*

More Gym * Fitness First @ Menara Manulife*

More Shopping *Empire Gallery, Subang*

Shoe Hunting *Charles & Keith @ Empire Gallery, Subang*

Am I a happy person? You bet. But all of it won't be that fun if it wasn't for my sister who accompany me the whole 2 weeks. That is the advantage of having a sister who is a teacher. haha. Love you sister! hehe.

Actually there are much more things that we do other than those above, but not much picture la. Most of it includes our kids so you know la bila ada budak-budak dan tiada pulak bapak budak, kelam kabut jadinya so taking pictures was the least that we could think of. Nonetheless, it was nothing but fun.

I am more than ready to start work next week. :)

P/S: Both me and my sister, and all our kids demam sebab banyak sangat berjalan. hehe.

I always look forward to Christmas

2010-12-08T01:32:00.010+08:00

Before you go jumping into conclusion and say haraaaaammmmm..... what I really mean is the Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte!

If you still remember my drama last year, the planner is now safe and left un-touch after February and now sitting on top of the rack- dusty I guess.

An organizer for a disorganize person? Think twice next time.

Anyway, I still haven't taken a sip of it and I am dying to. Pass through Starbucks so many time but time is so jealous of me (masa mencemburui saya boleh?). The recent one was yesterday. I was out and about for a refreshing bitching session with besties (yes we are that bad one..) at KLCC. A good whole 3 hours! But the sad part is, just 3 of us can make it this time. Others are busy but still....we rock aren't we? *blow nails*

********

We were supposed to go to Fahrenheit 88 after that to check out Uniqlo but one of us suddenly has another plan so they cancel it the very last minute. But I still proceed with the plan and gladly did so because over there I met Hanis Zalikha!

She is my inspiration actually. Both she and her mum. I discover her blog when I was pregnant with Rania 3 years ago. I was in a very bad shape at that time. I am frustrated with my life, I am bitter towards everything and I whine a lot until the day I read her blog. I felt so embarrassed on how mature she is and how she sees the world. And she is nearly 10 years younger than me!

With that I change my attitude (though I am still bitter at times), I never look back. Alhamdulillah, so many good things happen to me now. And I must thank her. Amazing how we learn how to live our life from someone younger than us right?

But of course the gratitude speech doesn't happen last night. I was so starstruck that what come out from my mouth was just "hanis... nak ambik gambar boleh?" *shame* My husband went ROFLOL on me. I don't even tell her who I am. *double shame*

I always smile like that one. My picture with Siti Nurhaliza also like that. So easily get over exited.

Anyway Hanis, if you read this..(I bet she wont) Thank You for making my life better by being who you are - just a stranger in my life-

How To?

2010-12-04T01:10:00.005+08:00

One thing about us ladies, we love to take our own pictures from the mirror. Favorite place must be in the bathroom obviously because they got full length mirror all over the place.

*guilty as charge*

sister. not me. I am innocently just finished washing my hands.

Scarves:Tie Rack, Tops:Forever21, Bottom:21 Denim, Heels:Charles&Keith

Actually this post is to test on the picture's size. I think blogger standard picture size is a bit small so I put on my nerdy hat and went google on 'how to post large picture in blogger'.

Not bad ey?

Do I nail it?

2010-12-02T21:47:00.004+08:00

1st attempt to mix and match what is left in my closet. A pathetic way I know but I am trying my best not to buy anything at least for now.

This was from today's outing with my sister and niece @ Garden's Cafe, The Curve.

Shawl : She-Sells, Tops : The Curve Flea Market, Cardigans : Blook, Bottoms : 21 Denim, Heels & Handbag both from Charles & Keith.

So how? Do I need a new wardrobe?

Online Suicidal

2010-12-01T23:56:00.009+08:00

It's 3 am and I just finished clearing up my wardrobe.

*tired*

A desperate attempt to convince myself that despite the fact that I can't fit into most of my tops anymore (read:FAT), the reality that I am not going to get back my pre-pregnancy weight, and the *joy* of upgrading myself one size bigger, I actually don't need new tops.

It started when I dig my own grave, surveying online stores to feed my craving.

*all from Dorothy Perkins.com*

Delicious?

Anybody want to teman me to One Utama tomorrow?

MOJO oh MOJO.

2010-12-01T09:48:00.004+08:00

Okey I think I have lost my MOJO again.

Pfftt..This happens so many times this year don't you think?

I have written the draft on my Puteri Pacific Hotel review and my not-so-bubble bath post but it was all ended halfway. I couldn't finish or even start the sentence without turning it into a boring article!

It's official. I am bad at writing those things i like.

Please Leave Me a Message

2010-11-30T10:27:00.001+08:00

I received more and more friend request on my facebook that have no friends in common. I am wondering is it you my lovely blog reader?

If it is you, please leave me a message telling me who you are. I might consider to accept but on one condition that you leave comments here and be my friend here 1st.

Facebook is something personal don't you think? We post more personal things and pictures to share among our friends. Please respect that if I don't accept you as my friend. You have to gain my trust. The last thing I want is a stalker who never make any conversatiom with me and posted 100 updates about farmville a day. Annoying don't you think?

P/S: Sorry I have to say this. I really hope you understand.

Singapore : What we do and not do.

2010-11-28T20:33:00.010+08:00

The main reason that makes me so exited about our trip to Singapore.

Sadly, I didn't buy anything from Charles & Keith. I found their selection of shoes are not as cool as in Malaysia. I wonder why. Even the handbag that I've been eying for ages doesn't have the colors that I want. Sad Sad Sad.

But......

Impossible if I go back home empty handed ey?

Hehehehe.

I am very happy to shop in Singapore. I found that the price are actually cheaper than Malaysia even after conversion (some shop like Sephora even gives 30% tourist discount ) and the style also suits me. And boy oh boy, credit cards makes it easier to shop!

Don't worry, my credit card are back in the freezer. Now have to sell my arm and leg to pay it off. (T_T)

Anyway, out of everything my favorite purchase was from Soap & Glory. Will do a review later but so far, I am in heaven every time after my daily bath and I can't stop sniffing myself. I am so happy that Sephora is coming to Malaysia. I don't have to go all the way to Singapore to get it... now that i am totally addicted to it.

I left you guys with some pictures we took in Singapore. Not much pictures since we were there for shopping this time. :)

Love this picture. The only one that I don't look fat. (T_T)

See that huge bon bon? Aiyoh I need to stop eating now.

I love their Christmas decoration. Too bad didn't snap much picture.

Last but not least, the other half that always find ways to make me happy. :)

P/S: My sister ask me to go to Singapore again this Christmas. Should I melt the ice?

Travel with kid(s)

2010-11-27T03:18:00.008+08:00

Travelling with kid(s) is never easy.

Stroller works only when it is a short outing but when you are out all day you can't expect a toodler to sit tight. Come on! even we will feel restless if forced to sit all day long.

So more often that not, we have no choice but to let our kid(s) free. Easy for you if you are blessed with a super well-behaved kid who clings to your arm but most of the kids I know will run and jump and be off your sight the second you blink!

Unless you are an alien from planet Gorgon, impossible for you not to blink isn't it?

That is why, we rely on this.

Not only blink, you are free to look at whatever direction you want *cough* another mall *cough*

And saves your kid from drowning too. Who knows if they decided to jump into the pool, just pull the string up! saves time. hehe.

I seldom see other people using this and we get a lot of attention whenever we use this on Rania. Most of the people smile and say "cute". But there are also some who give a judging look because obviously it looks like something we usually use for pets. I don't care. I don't trust this world anymore.

But, this thing really getting on top of her nerve. Sorry kiddo, better be save than sorry!

Leaving NOT on a jet plane.

2010-11-21T13:31:00.000+08:00

4 days trip.

Pray for our safety okey?

See you!

What happened in Merlion City last Christmas.

2010-11-19T23:49:00.007+08:00

Not only I failed at giving a good photo, but I also have no freaking idea how to take good photos.

This was from our trip to Singapore last Christmas. The husband told me to take his photo. So i took few shots.

The water was suppose to go out from his mouth. You know like how people love to do some tricks with photos ie; holding the sun. get it? get it? But after like 10 shots I still cannot do it. (T_T). Annoyed, he took the camera from me and snap this with only ONE shot.

See? I'm not good in anything. I wonder why he marry me.

Then, as cliche as it sounds, of course we wanna took picture with the Merlion. Must do to prove to the daughter that we already brought her to Singapore once upon a time. Hehe.

Good shot. Clear view of me and the daughter smiling widely as a main subject with the Merlion as a background. Taken by the husband of course.

Bad shot. Merlion IS the main subject with.. err.. oh there they are, at the left side. Go take your magnifying glass to see. (T_T)

Now I know why out of 344 photos, there were only 4 photos of the husband. Hehe.

But, there is such thing as luck isn't it?

Guess who took this photo? ;p

Fun Finding : Coastal Scents

2010-11-18T23:23:00.006+08:00

I am very bad at keeping my promises when it comes to blog. I know it's a bad thing.

But you guys forgive me aren't you? :)

I am talking about the fun finding post that I promise to share with all of you once I get it.

Somewhere in June I guess. (Too lazy to link back). hehe.

Lovely isn't it? It's from Coastal Scents.

Truth is, I wanna blog about it after I wear it. Because the colours are so amazing.

Thought of giving you guys FOTD rather than just showing the palette.

BUT this is the closest thing I can get to show you.

Pathetically pale isn't it? (T_T) And you guys have no idea how long I took to get that look.

I'm such a loser when it comes to make up.

I still don't know how to use colours other than brown, gold and purple.

Sad Sad. And You Tube failed me.

Even this post is boring.

So forgive me for not keeping my promise earlier will you?

Even so, I really suggest you guys to get this palette if you guys are thinking of learning how to wear make up.

It's a value for money. Cool colours and super cheap!

Go here and drool over your keyboard.

They got lots of things other then make ups too.

Share with me your FOTD guys.

Go on. Makes me cry looking at your gorgeous smoky eyes make up.

Cheers to Weddings and Pregnancy!

2010-11-15T23:50:00.011+08:00

We cheers to weddings and pregnancies announcement because it means only 1 thing.

It's time to PARTY!

Venue : Scrumptious Restaurant

Goodies from : Dear Azalea

Pictures from : Amalz nyam_nyam

We are all party freaks. Guilty as charge.

Head of party. The organizer.

It was a post wedding party. This time around we celebrate for two! Both of them already married last month but we all have no time to organize anything. Better late than never!

The Brides

Scrumptious Restaurant was chosen to be the venue. No sleepover because few can make commitment (we are getting old and old people have lots of responsibilities (T_T)) hence not much activities can be done except eat and cam-whoring. Nonetheless, it was great and perfect! Give food and camera to us, we know how to entertain ourselves. Hehe.

Goodies. Cotton candy is TDF.

Food wise, not bad though it is a bit pricey for simple fusion foods that they serve but the ambiance is very nice and clean. The waitress also very nice and friendly. Overall OK. 5 for food and 10 for decorations. Even the toilets were nice and clean. Recommended for events but definitely I am not going there for my date night.

Among the foods that we ordered.

Awesome deco. Great for those who loves camera like us.

Outside. Feeling London padahal panass terik nak mati.

It was nice to gather with friends once in a while. Talking crap and laughing at each other's silly jokes. No matter how busy we are, we still make effort, put aside our family for a while and be the teenager that we used to be. That the secret of us looking so young and pretty! Hoho!

See? All young and pretty kan? kan? KAN? SAY IT!

Yay!

Yours truly

So tell me, what do you guys do with your friend to stay intact?

Masa Bercinta

2010-11-14T20:45:00.001+08:00

Ini adalah makanan tetap waktu bercinta dulu.

We used to go to A&W Taman Jaya when we were still students. Hang out there the whole night. Studying *ehem ehem* or just starring at each other eyes. Okey now go puke.

Those were the days that I surely missed. :)

Anyway, now no longer go there since we can stare at each eyes anytime anywhere now. But last night, Rania was begging us for ice-cream. We planned to go to Tutti Frutti at TTDI initially but heavy rain forced us to change our plan to a place with covered car park. So Tesco it is.

Upon entering we found this cute creature. Rania was literally pulling us towards him and keep on yelling bear! It's a chipmunk sayang not bear!

Cute ey? I mean the one on the left?okey you can go puke again. Hehe.

It's nice to make our child happy once in a while huh? Even that means ice-cream in heavy rain.

The nice mommy.. Hehe

I went for neardy clean look. How do I look?

On things that makes me happy

2010-11-14T18:45:00.002+08:00

Another party. Will blog later. Now too full and sleepy to blog.

Smile! You're on Candid Camera.

2010-11-12T11:00:00.000+08:00

Always, when I was out and about all glam up i will have a mental promise that I will take lots and lots of picture and update my blog later.

Well, as always this was the only picture I manage to snap.

If not like this, it will be a shot with the same pose just different vanue which obviously you guys can't even see. (T_T) Oh that was us having dinner at Chilli's.

See?? Another one. This time lunch at newly open Nyonya Colours @ The Curve. They have a buy one free one assam laksa at that time.

Want more proof?

Late night supper at one of the warung in Taman Ehsan. My point is you guys can't even see my shirt let alone where I was!

I envy those people who can take good picture and acting up just to get a "look like candid picture" . Saya malu. Isk. When I finally brave enough to act, this is how my "look like candid picture" looks like.

You can see me smilling under the thick glasses isn't it? So much of candid. Pffft. Btw, that was breakfast at the most delicious nasik lemak stall ever in Sungai Penchala.

I surrender. I can never take nice picture. The camera hates me.

So how do you guys do it? Taking interesting picture to post to your blog? Tell me. Tell me.

Shoe Addict

2010-11-09T22:48:00.007+08:00

Delicious isn't it?

I always tought that I am a handbag lady but turns out I am more keen on shoes!

Maybe because shoes are more affordable. (T_T)

Plus, you can never go wrong with shoes.

Itching to shop, just pick one of those classic peep toe pump!

Nude colour is a must have, I tell you.

Shoes can always make me smile and Fly my stress away.

More expensive much wider the smile. Hahaha.

If got it for free la..

Anyway, speaking of shoes.. my favorite brand of all time must be Charles & Keith.

Not only affordable but they have the most yummiest design ever and frankly speaking-comfortable too.

Though there are people who said C&K only copy designer's design and produce the cheaper version of it but do I care? *boooooooo*

Not everyone can afford freaking RM4000 for a pair of shoes! We have to find substitute aren't we?

We all know that Singapore is C&K place of birth and I am planning to go to Singapore next weekend. What a co-incident ey? (O_o)

I foresee lots of activities like this coming soon. *wink*

Ada siapa-siapa nak place order??? hehe.

Here, http://www.charleskeith.com/shop/catalog/shoe/hwindex.htm look for yourself how yummy they are. Awww.. I think my heart just melt.

2010-11-08T23:45:00.001+08:00

Excuse my low quality picture as always. Been using camera phone for a while now you must have get used to it by now right?

Yeay! I am browsing thru laptop now. And updating the blog using the actual keyboard is FUN! Never realised that until I am forced to type using the small sensitive iPhone keypad for 8 freaking month! Bluerghh. Even google excite me now.

Anyway, it's getting late and I really really have to sleep. A long week ahead since my line manager is on leave this two weeks. I have to be his back up for his work and not to mention keeping my daily work on track as well. 1st day today, everything was OK.Pray hard it will continue that way. :p

Good Night darlings! Sleep tight!

Indulgence.

2010-10-19T11:48:00.001+08:00

I took half day off today because I've been working late and weekends for quite sometimes. Plus i am having a slight fever with running nose, I don't have a heart to wake up early so I decided to continue sleeping.

But who are we young career energetic women kidding? I have to force my eyes shut and it ain't easy my friend. So I took a shower, put on my work attire, mascara and off to find coffee.

And where else you could find great refillable coffee with additional to die for meatballs?

Yup you got it right. Ikea! To tell you the truth, this is the place where me and my hubby will be going each time we need heart to heart conversation because well... I function more with coffee and unlimited refill??! Are you kidding me?? Bring me here, drop me any kind of confession I sure will be fine. Hehe.

This is MY place and thank God it is only 5 minutes drive from home. Do share with me, where is YOUR place doll?

Life so far.

2010-09-21T08:30:00.001+08:00

Hello!

It's been a while. Selamat Hari Raya! Hope it's not too late. Hehe. And maaf zahir batin though I think I didn't blog much this year compared to last year.

It's kindda sad actually when I read back my old post from last year and even the year before. I do write a lot of stuff here. My wishlist, pregnancy journey, career, life, motherhood, love, friendship.. I wish I could write like how I used to. Well, let's not stop hoping ok? Hehe.

To be honest, there is too many major things happening this year. But all are serious and boring stuff that you don't wanna hear about. Trust me. Hehe. And me and my friends don't hang around so often now. Less party, less lepaking session.. Meaning less stories. All of us are really busy juggling with our life and our liitle family. I'm saddddd. :(

And more, I know I keep myself strong about this but I really miss my little sister so much. And I am so worried about her being alone so far away from home. Worried about her life and future. About so many things that I don't wanna think about it because it will freak me out. Insane when we love someone so much huh?

But this is life. Just suck it up and move on. :)

Anyway, that's about it for now.

Adios!

On top of the world. Broga Hills on weekend.

2010-08-06T22:16:00.001+08:00

Hello London!

You wish! haha.

Okey be serious. *uhuk uhuk*

I have not been updating lately, I know. I bet all my readers have abandon me by now. (T_T). There's not much to talk about lately. Well at least I don't feel like it. But each time I open someone else's blog, I started to miss my own.

Recently, everything that came out from my mouth is all related to work. I swear my husband want to kill himself each time I open my mouth. Haha. This is not good... I have to go and find a more meaningful life than work. But how I still don't know. I've been working for more than 12 hours lately and too exhausted for anything and everything. But surprisingly, I can still go hiking at Broga Hill early morning with the whole department without any complaint. Hehe

We finished work quite late the night before because we are in the midst of closing our books. The next day at 3 am I already standing in front of the office building getting ready to see sunrise on top of Broga.

Well, I guess there's no complaint no matter how tired you are when you know you will be surrounded by all the wonderfull people.

And I still have another event later that evening. I shall blog about it later if I feel like it. Don't hope. You know you might get dissapointed. Hehe.

Hello hello!

I just watched Twillight and STILL I have no idea why people are crazy over the saga. Mind u I watched all three okey. I still don't like Edward. And NO he is not cute at all.

Anyway, I bought another pair of shoes after the movie. :) Good news! Good news! Hehehe. It's already my 2nd acquisition for the month and damn I don't know how to stop. But should I? Hehe

Funny story about this shoe. I slipped off a staircase and broke my gorgeous mustard heels! It happend at LRT station and with two of my men colleague. OMG I swear it was really embarasing not to mention hurt as hell and they have been laughing at me and telling this to all our colleagues! Ppffttt!

Green is the new Black!

On non-related matter, we will be having another party this end of July. Yeay for us! This time is a baby shower for a dear friend and yes I hope i'll be posting about it later. I am dying to write about the updates but the said person read this blog so no no no.. Hehe.

Okey aku melalut dah ni. I'm writing this in the car actually ( talking about passion huh. ) So long!!

Hello!

It's been a while huh? Apologies as my focus nowadays are full with work work work.

Quick update on that. I feel happy here and really enjoy my work too. Partly maybe because I click well with other staff. Another part maybe because I am super duper busy so I don't really have time to be depress or whatsoever. So yeah, it's been a very challenging but fun environment so far.

As for my personal life, it has been really great now. I guess sitting home do nothing for 2 months really do me good, spiritually and mentally but not monetary. Haha.

So, I know I promise to update on my make up obsession but I malas.. Hehhe. Sebab i tak pandai guna end up i only use 1 or 2 colour over and over again eventho I have like 100 different colour now.. If add together la.

Tunggu je lah ye.

Fun Finding : Make-up slave

2010-06-03T00:21:00.004+08:00

Having a make-up "guru" as a house mate really do me good (now ex-house mate. *tear blood* :( )

I am now more confident then ever to paint my bare and boring looking face. And for the 1st time ever, I know how to blend my eye make-up well. :)

But sadly, I am not that good yet and my "guru" is now abandoning me *tears again*. I still have no clue how to mix and match two different colours and not end up looking like a clown. And with the absence of my gorgeous "guru", all her make up collections are gone as well.

So, addicted I went online searching for make up blogs and you tube tutorials on how to apply make up and did some shopping too. :) I have limited stocks of make ups since I don't really know how to choose colours so I end up buying the same colours over and over again.

The parcel is not here yet though it's been a week (T_T) . I can't wait for the parcel to come! Will update more once I received the parcel.

Aww.. you make me cry doll!

2010-05-28T23:46:00.002+08:00

Dear Aien,

I love you too. And yes, I forgive you for hacking my blog. :)

Babe, you know the reason why I let you go and respect your decision. Always remember what I said before. We must be strong and brave to make decision and take action. There is no right or wrong. But be wise enough to know when to stop and to pull back. When the time comes, don't ignore it. Be strong and brave again, make a decision and take action. I always pray for the best to happen to you. I hope you'll find what you are looking for.

And I thank you for being the little sister I never had. For making me smile, fat, and pekak. :) For making me look gorgeous, for making me be who I always want to be. Thank you so much. For the para-sailing. Yes, I will go to Aussie with you and do bungee jumping one day. I don't wanna be old and boring! haha.

Thanks for loving Rania as well. She adores you. And I will make sure she remembers you. We skype every other day okey?

Don't look up to me dear. I am far from perfect to be such role model to you. I am just lucky to have extra-ordinary people surround me. I am nothing by myself. So, be like one. Surround yourself with one hell of good, kind-hearted, fun and loving people. Insya Allah, you'll be one.

Jgn lupa sembahyang and jgn lupa ingat tuhan no matter in what condition you are. Let people say what they wanna say. Shut you eyes, ears and heart from any negativity. Look only to the positive direction. Don't feel alone. Turn to God for any guidance. I believe in you. I know you'll be fine there. You will get a great job with a company that actually deserve you.

We are happy and honored to have you here staying with us. Mintak halal makn minum, terlebih terkurang. Sorry kalau banyak yang kurang dari lebih. :)

P/S: Kalau nka party sebelum kawen sila balik sini. Okey. :)

SUPRISEEEEeeee

The nice nice shoe and the happy happy weekend!

2010-05-10T13:24:00.001+08:00

Hello.

I'm sorry I haven't update much. No excuse. I just don't feel like updating this blog.

So, how was your weekend? I had a really great one! We had a party, a farewell party to say goodbye to our dear friend that will be migrating to uncle sam's this June. A summer dress party and hell yeah we had so much fun!

This the the girl who is brave enough to follow her heart. I suppport whatever you do, babe. Remember that.

Anyway, this is my outfit for daytime party. I kindda like this one. And look at my shoe!! Finally I got a chance to show it off. Selama ni kecantikannye tersorok di bawah jeans saja. Hehe.

And this is the night outfit. Sweet kan? Baju la bukan saya. Hehe. And the little one dressing up according to theme as well. This is before we had our fatty crab. I love it so much.

Okey, couldn't update much. I have a mountain full of workload shit that I have to settle today.

Group photo!

I Gain Wisdom

2010-04-22T13:21:00.003+08:00

So, I wake up pretty late today, vacuum the whole house, had pasta for breakie, aprox. 3 scoops of ice cream, watched TV, doz off a couple of times for few minutes and countless time of endless screaming with my child.. What a day huh?

Eh wait? I did that everyday for this past 2 month right?? Haha

But soon (real soon), all this will be over and I am sure will miss this joyful time of my life.

Yeah you guess right. I got a job already. :)

So there goes my life as a stay at home mom and yes, I suck big time.

So what's really happening in my 2 months of freedom?

I gain WISDOM.

I Random Feel Like This

2010-04-15T13:43:00.001+08:00

When I wrote this piece, I am actually not in a great shape...mentally..emotionally.

I am angry at so many things. Most of it related to my life and people around me. I am confused over what I wanna do and what I should do. I am felling bitter but I kept it quiet.

I want to write about it but i can't because I know some nosy people who I don't really understand why they are so interested in my life read my blog (duhh).. But not writing it down also make me half mad.

Life is so hard. Don't you think?

Sepetang bersama Siti Nurhaliza

2010-04-08T00:17:00.001+08:00

Okey tak ah tipu je.

Since I am not working ni kan, I think my sister is the happiest person on earth sebab hari-hari dia ajak I teman dia jalan-jalan ukur shopping complex sambil makan makanan yang hebat- hebat (dia belanja) huhu.

So, petang tadi dia ajak pergi Pavillion pulak sebab nak cari kasut walhal dah seminggu jugakla tour One Utama, The Curve, Bangsar Village, sampai ke shoe festival la sbb nak cari kasut punya hal.

Sebagai adik yang baik ( dan bakal makan free lagik) I pun ikut je la..

We had our late lunch @ dome since I was craving for coffee. Last-last dua- dua minum honeycomb rush keapentahnamadia.

Nama semua dah lupa jangan tanya. Yang I igt just Spicy Olio Oglio. Food wise semua adalah sedap.

Dan adalah yang lagi best bila terserempak dengan orang ini sedang having lunch dekat dome jugak.

Wahh suka. To be frank kitorang actually takde la diehard fan Siti ke ape.. Minat la jugak ( siapa tak minat kannnn) but not la sampai hafal semua lagu dia and follow perkembangan dia. Tapi dia adalah memang sangat sweet dan sopan dan baik dan humble. So tetiba nak terjadi diehard fan pulak. Hohoho.

So bila dah jadi diehard fan harusla ada gambar bersama khas untuk menjeleskan orang-orang diluar sana. Heheh.

Ye Siti sgt cantik dan saye sangan gemok dan kakak saya sgt poyo telah dipeluk oleh siti. Jeles jeles tapi takpelah sbb saya rasa saya adalah busuk waktu itu kerana sepanjang tghari telah lari- lari menguruskan fomema maid jadi saya redha.. Heheh

Tapi sebenarnya yang lebih redha adalah kerana kakak dengan baik hati telah memberi ini kepada saya.

Hehe. My 4inch gladiator heels from Charles and Keith yang di idam-idamkan. Hehe.

Please please go.

You know how desperate I am to get that shoe.

The shoe that might change my life.

2010-03-31T12:59:00.002+08:00

I am in love with a pair of shoe from Charles and Keith.

I should buy it. I am positively sure that it was love at 1st sight.

And I am having a dream last night about that particular shoe.

I should buy it right despite the fact that I am jobless right now??

I should, righttttt???

Rightttttt????

Oh God now I understand the feeling of all housewife out there.

The shoe is not that expensive pun and I am sure that the husband will not mind at all if I bought it (yeke?) hehe.

But, I feel guilty la kalau beli sbb the fact that I bring zero income this month. hummphhh..

Yeah, the power of money. I never feel this way before.

Anyway, the shoe will be my target this week.

It will be my motivation. I will try my best to be creative and unique and get that shoe by 14th of April this month!

Wish me luck!

Update!

2010-03-25T17:39:00.005+08:00

Sumpah banyak gila draft tapi tak publish..

I lost my mojo.. I really hope to get it back.

When i quit my job last month, I do promise myself that I will update my blog on daily basis.

Doesn't matter if it just a random thought or even pointless rambling, I do want to make this blog alive again.

But then, as you can see, it didn't happen.

I really miss pouring my heart out here but for some reason I stop doing that.

And for some other reason, my life has been better. I am happier and I realized that I don't write much when I am happy. Turns out, I don't know how to share my happiness with people. (That is why you don't see a lot of Rania in my blog!) Hehehe. Teruknye perangai.

Anyway, this is latest picture of Rania during our short trip balik kampung during my brother's wedding last week. I think this should be enough to cover my silence all this while. :)

Enjoy!

Esok hari besar tapi sukar fokus.

Mungkin dah berkarat agaknya otak ni.

Blog, selendang dan Handbag Coach.

2010-03-14T00:52:00.004+08:00

Ehem Ehem.

Sebenarnya dah takde hati nak terus berblog sebab makin hari mood untuk blog makin lama makin hilang.

Hari tu tergerak nak bukak balik blog lama tahun 2008 yang telah diprivatekan sejak awal 2009, macam kagum pun ada tengok gigih betul I update blog dulu. Mostly pasal my pregnancy journey la kan. Now ni nak post 1 entry seminggu pun menggagau. Hehe

Tapi macam tersentuh juga bila jumpa kawan-kawan diorang cakap suka baca apa I tulis (walaupun rasa macam merepek n emo je lebih). Hehhe jadi tak sampai hati pulak kalau tak update. Tapi sumpah blank taktau nak type ape.

So nak update pasal tudung and selendang ni sebenarnya tapi takde kat tangan I la pulak. Then I pulak jenis kalau nak post gambar tudung tu mesti siap nak ada model tolong pakai. hehe. Gedik lebihkan biasalahhhh.. So nantikan update from she-sells ye. Kali ni bayak juga stock tudung 4 segi buat orang-orang yang tak reti pakai selendang. Dan I berani jamin stock kali ni susah sikit kalau nak nampak orang pakai tudung yang sama ngan kita sbb material datang dari jauhhhhh.. heheh. Takpe tunggu je lah ye.

Sementara nak menunggu update pasal tudung tu boleh je jenguk2 jugak dekat blog She sells sebab my most recent entry, I ada buat charity event sikit... Ada Coach handbag and purse untuk dijual dan hasilnya adalah 100% untuk charity. Nak tau lanjut click sini.. and lets do charity in STYLE!

P/S: Coach handbag ni for limited time only ye. Cepat-cepat sebelum ketinggalan. :)

Believe

2010-03-13T01:15:00.000+08:00

Deep in my heart I know that in order for us to get something we really want we first have to believe.

I want to be a millionaire so bad but until this moment I still have a problem to believe that I will be a millionaire. I tried to visualize myself being one so many times but I still fail to do so.

I read books, clear my mind, find a mentor but still i can't imagine myself being a millionaire. And now I am scared because other people believe in me (tak kira la buat buat believe sebab nak jaga hati ke or betul2) but I myself still don't believe.

How eh?

Pandai tapi bodoh

2010-03-08T15:30:00.003+08:00

Baru pagi tadi khabarkan berita yang aku sudah jobless pada mama.

Baru pagi tadi menjadi berani (have a guts) to spill it all to her.

*******

Bukan apa,

Kalau dulu, perempuan bila mahu belajar tinggi-tinggi di pandang pelik oleh masyarakat.

Katanya, buat apa belajar tinggi-tinggi masuk ke dapur juga akhirnya.

Tapi sekarang belajar tinggi tu common.

Bila tak kerja tu lah yang jadi orang pandang semacam je..

macam penganggur la kan.. tak dapat kerja sebab malas ke ape.

haisyy.

Walau memang buat-buat tak nampak tapi aku perasan sangat riak wajah orang bila diberitahu aku tak kerja..

Like it is a big sin to be a housewife.

And bigger sin for me I guess since our household income is not that great.

Ye lah aku tak kawin orang kerja Oil & Gas mampu beli umah sebijik hasil bonus aje.

Tapi kau bukan yang bagi rezeki pada kami sekeluarga.

Allah swt yg bagi.

Degree yang aku pegang tu adalah ilmu yang aku bawa.

Jangan jadi shallow ingat degree tu khas untuk mintak kerja.

Kalau aku jadi housewife pun, biar aku jadi housewife yang bijak mengira budget dan perbelanjaan harian kerana degree aku.

Kalau aku jaga anak saja sekalipun, biar aku bijak mendidik dan mengajar anak aku setara degree aku tu.

Kalau aku meniaga pun, biar aku guna segala macam ilmu yang aku dapat dari degree tu untuk majukan business aku.

********

Hampir 2 minggu aku berhenti kerja baru hari ini aku berani (have the guts) to spill it all to mama.

Ridicules bukan?

On being desperate housewife

2010-03-04T17:39:00.003+08:00

Being a housewife clearly not my destiny.

I want to vacuum the whole house since I got back from Bandung.. well I supposed to. But did I do it? Nope.

On top of that, i also want to brush my bathroom tiles... well I have to because it's getting dirtier day by day but of course I didn't do that also.

I also suppose to prepare dinner for the husband because now that I practically do nothing. But guess what, I skip that too.

Wah malasnye aku!

I just want to get a good rest... Is it okey if I stay on like this for another week, hubby? :)

Ermmm.. how about I serve me for dinner?

Hahaha.

Back to the real world

2010-03-03T07:43:00.001+08:00

Hellow!

Im back now from my 5 days trip to heaven (at least for ladies. Haha). Now I have to focus back on my life, my plans, and my goals. Oh God please help me because Im scared..

Anyway, i should post an entry about the heaven...if, I have a mood on that. Heheh. Today? Super super busy. Got things to settle. I have to pay my bills and obviously updating this blog doesn't do much help. Korangla takmo click ads aku. Haha.

Okey gotta run now. Byeeee.

Kizsports&gym~I love you babe.

Happy kan dia?

Sometimes, I get so busy with my life that I forgot that that I neglected my most precious gift from God.

The other day, I cried my heart out. I stepped into our bedroom only to find out that she had already fallen asleep with an empty milk bottle still in her tiny hand. I did not put her to sleep nor did I prepare the milk warm for her. The milk was prepared few hours before and was on the dressing table. She must have independantly took the bottle, climbed up the bed and drank it to sleep.

She did not cry or even bother us at all. We were so busy ar the momment and we only realised that she was not with us after quite some times.She silently do all that all by herself while us-the parent were so busy doing our own things.

And believe me, that was not the first time.

Have you ever heard that actually before we were born, we actually get to choose who our parent is? Now, I am so ashamed with her because of all the good parents out the she choose us. Us who don't even bother to put her to sleep.. Us who left her early in the morning and only come back to see her again sometimes 5 minutes before midnight..

I feel so ashamed that I cried non stop until my eyes were swollen and red. What did I do to deserve such a sweetheart child? All I ever do was being busy with my damn life. So busy until my not ever two years old child being so independant and put herself to sleep.

She's not even freaking two years old yet! She was supposed to cry for attention before fallen asleep. She was supposed to need her mother's arm and cares that soothes her to sleep.

I love you Rania. I hope you know that. I am no normal mother. I sucks big time. Everything i do so far as your mother was a complete mess. I don't deserve you. You are too good to be true.

But I promise you one thing. From this moment I will not let my busy schedule be an excuse not to be with you. You come first before everything now. Sorry it took me two years to realised that. I hope i'm not too late...

I love you baby.. I really do.

P/S: The trip was obviously because I want to make it up to her ;)

2010-02-13T12:51:00.001+08:00

Hello.

Disebabkan cuti adalah amat panjang jadi sedang di bazirkan sewenang wenangnya. The husband tgh tgk hindustan while Rania tgh main dgn toy dia sorang sorang. So ambil peluang download segala bagai apps. Ni tgh testing la ni.

Lupa nak cerita laptop saya dah tamat riwayat pagi td kena duduk dek Rania. Nak marah pun takleh dah siapa suruh letak dekat lantai kan? Huhuhu sedihhh... Dahla rosak masa i tgh jobless ni. Grrrreeeaaatttt...

So for the time being update blog pakai phone je la... Nasib baik ada encik I kesayangan. Heheh. Tapi ttp sedih nak laptop baruuuuuu... Camne nak start project penganggur cari duit 101 neh. Aiyookkk..

Okeyla mengantuk pulak. Lagi 1 cara bazirkan masa yang sangat effective. Hohoho

Sila terima gambar kami camwhore masa breakfast kul 12 td. Huhu

Harap harap menjadi.

2010-02-12T16:13:00.001+08:00

Ini gambar semalam. Masa sedang syok hangout dengan kawan-kawan sempena Hari Jadi pembaca tegar. Tak kurus kurus kan? Aisyyyy sakit mata tengok.

Anyway, al-kisah nak cerita pasal sambutan ni tapi sebenarnya ada kerja nak kena buat. Tadi streamyx dah call cakap nak pasang today. Hohoho. So I guess today balik rumah disambut dgn meriah la.

Okey, sambung kat rumah okey. Cutikan panjangggg..

Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese out there!

Khas buat Puan Reeva

2010-02-10T13:02:00.001+08:00

Nape tak invite I?
Huhuhu..

Sila invite ye.
fatiyahh@gmail.com

Dah. Nak sambung kerja.
:)

Jangan janji kalau tak boleh tepati.

2010-02-09T09:05:00.003+08:00

Ya,Saya masih di neraka dunia sebab itu saya tak update blog.

Mereka janji saya tak perlu tunggu 1 month notice saya boleh pergi kononnya sebagai incentif. Lepas hand-over boleh cabut.

Hand-over minggu lepas. Minggu ni ada dateline. Masih saya kena buat.

Okey takpe. Sabar. Buat kerja. Diam. Tunduk.

File semua dah pindah ke branch *** sebab staff branch sana yang akan sambung kerja saya.

Dapat email dari sana, minta saya check kerja dia macam biasa.

Saya mintak senior branch *** yang check. Bukan sebab saya malas tapi sebab dokumen semua dekat sana.

Senior diam. Konon kerja dia banyak. Dateline kerja itu semalam. Staff itu dah tak senang duduk. Saya minta maaf tak dapat bantu. Saya pun buntu.

Beberapa minit kemudian, telefon berbunyi. General Manager angkat gagang. Mereka berkata sesuatu dalam bahasa yang saya tak faham. Suara seakan-akan berbisik. Mata menjeling-jeling ke arah saya.

Saya masih sabar, buat kerja. Diam. Tunduk

Panggilan itu dari senior di sana.

Babi ahh...

Kata Putus.

I've decided not to continue on my previous post.
Mungkin wajar kalau freak out sendiri sendiri sahaja because I know the husband reads my blog.
He has more things to worry about.

So, let's just focus on the plan and move on.

Sumpah sekarang I rasa loya dan period dah sebulan lewat.
Isk. Ngeri nak bayang kemungkinan dan tak tersampai hati nak beli test kit.
Takut takut kalau yang dikhuatiri benar-benar terjadi.

Harap-harap semua ni sebab stress.
Lagi pun sekarang rambut gugur menggila jadi pasti sebab stress.
Ya. Pasti.

Okey. Bye.

This is it

2010-01-26T13:45:00.001+08:00

So, I think my ability to blog has somehow been flushed away. Yet, I
still find myself clicking the new entry button trying to at least
publish an entry a day.

Bear with me people.

Anyhow, yesterday I told the husband about my resignation soon after I
step(ed) (eh taktau step past tense ape n malas nak check so hentam je
la) into the car on our way back home. He smiled and said "why you
look so worried? We should celebrate!"

Well, I am worried! I am freaking out. The tought of me being jobless
scares a hell out of me. Though all nice people around me said that
it'll be okey I am still freaking out!

I'll tell you later why.

Now my lunch break is almost over.

Potong kan?

Each ending is a new beginning

2010-01-25T18:40:00.001+08:00

Hello.

If you are an avid follower of my blog you should know by now that I
whine a lot. Like seriously, I always complaint about everything I
have and I don't have. About things I want and I dont want. About
things I love and I hate.

But, if you are really an avid follower of my blog, you should know by
now that at some point I will stop whining and take action. And I will
find other thing to whine about.

Yes. I tender my resignation w.e.f today.

Good Friday

2010-01-22T12:24:00.001+08:00

Hello folks.

Though my body is still in the office but my mind isn't. I am busy
looking busy even though in reality i am really busy. Ha pening kau
nak baca ayat aku.

I think everybody by now should aready know how much i hate my job.
Well i loathe it actually. Early of this week, the husband finally
told me that it is ok if i wanna quit my job. I should be happy right?

The boss is in the office this whole week. Resignation letter is
already saved inside my desktop. But come to Friday, i am still far
from resigning. What happening to me????

Hah.. ini juga wajah yang boleh bikin hati tenang....

P/S: Hidung dia luka-luka sebab dia garu-garu. Nak buat macam mana ye? Asal kering je dia kopek. Huuu..

Hello there!

2010-01-21T14:14:00.002+08:00

I miss yew... Really!

Yesterday, i turn on my lappy and actually planning to update this
blog. Next thing i knew, it was 4am in the morning and i slept with my
feet at my daughter's head. Isk isk. Bila masa terlelap pun tak tau.
Terusla tarik selimut. Huhu

Anyway, i foresee that my hectic and tiring life will be over soon
after we settle down at our new crib next week. I tell yew, restoring
the house and do it yourself is really tiring and not to mention i lost
count already how many days we go home with rania already sleeping and
go out before she woke up. And that is including weekend you know.

Pity my baby.

Well, who say money is not important is a complete dumbass. Tetibe.
Haha. Ada la sebabnye ayat ni keluar tp malas nk explain.

Okey, i nak pergi solat. My lunch break is almost over. Sorry for the
boring update. Bye!

Adab?

2010-01-20T13:27:00.001+08:00

Okey, kalau masuk dalam bilik yg ada org, sila at least acknowledge
that person if you nk tinggikan suhu air cond sampai 27c.

Orang lain panas dan bilik tu bukan kau punya okey bahlul!

Kan aku dah panas hati!

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

2010-01-16T21:42:00.002+08:00

Miss me?

Okey mana aci kan post entry pendek-pendek?

2010-01-06T12:22:00.000+08:00

Can I make a wishlist?

Kegirangan di Tahun Baru.

2010-01-03T00:20:00.003+08:00

Tahun ini nampak macam bakal jadi menjadi tahun yang girang. :)

Happy New Year 2010 to all.

2009-12-31T23:59:00.000+08:00

Welcome 2010

I am waiting for you..

Sneak peek! Cak!

2009-12-31T16:13:00.006+08:00

Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait.

P/S : For the love of God, penatnye nak cukupkan 100! huhu.

Special for you, husband.

2009-12-31T11:31:00.001+08:00

Twit.. Twit..

Hahaha.

Sikitttt lagi..

2009-12-31T11:05:00.003+08:00

So, if I really want to achieve 100 posts by end of the year, I have to at least post 4 entries today.
Whoaaa..

I told my husband about that this morning. You know ~ my attempt to start a conversation sebab takut dia marah after I woke up at 9am today and make him late to work because he has to send me~. So I told him, owh never mind, I can just write meaningless entry 4 times today sort of like twitter ~ you know.

Well then, as I suspected, he said "tu mengelat namanya.." Well, at least my attempt of starting a conversation succeed. :0

Speaking of twitter, I know it so "in" lately but I can't help to notice and laugh at those people who twit like it is a blog. No offence. I know it is called a micro-blog but I do feel that it is a bit funny when you post a long twit sampai kena sambung-sambung 3 or 4 times posting just to get your message delivered, don't you think? Okey la kalau sambung 2 tu bolehla terima but 3,4 even 5?? I mean like come on make it short people! If you don't know how to twit then don't. Because it is boh~ring.

Hah, like I do care?
