Our Screaming Queen

2006-04-06T23:20:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching Supernanny (kl tunjuk tak?). It's about this nanny who goes to a home where the kids are out of control and she helps the parents be in control by implemeting various methods.Week after week she successfully changes these kids' behaviour. And just when you think you've seen the worst yet, the next week's is even more horrible.

I'd write Jo Frost a long email but I think she's got an inbox full of thank yous already. Although the little madam was never the mini monster like those on the show (I'd probably be in some mental hospital with kids like that, seriously), she drove us nuts by wanting her own way with everything. Oh and the screams, now who could forget the screaming? Anybody who's been blessed to be in her presence during her screaming episodes would probably think twice about having kids. Betul tak chimp? muahaha. She was a cute cute angel when she wasn't screaming, no doubt about that. But when she got into those earpiercing-screaming-moods there'd be no stopping her. Nothing,nada,yelek, nope not a single thing. It got so bad, we'd contemplate going to certain orang alims for help, but then heard a story that made us just close our ears and endure the oh-so-sweet-sound of our daughter's voice .

You see there was once a child exactly like ours, who thought screaming was just like talking. So to make a long story short they went to see a well respected orang alim. To make a longer story shorter, their daughter became so quiet, they hardly ever heard her voice again.The end.

So we endured and as she grew older it did get better.Somewhat. Still had episodes (yes macam kat rumah ko aisyah) but sooo much better than before. Must have gotten wiser. But her stubbornness, aiyo!

(ok shortcut lagi,aku ngantuk) Fast forward to the day we watched Supernanny(!) , its like we got a revelation u know. Hah. No longer will I be controlled by a queen-control-toddler. Nope, no way. I implemented the naughty spot method the next day. And tadaa.. instant angel.

We had actually read about it and tried it a year ago, but u see, never with consistency. Consistency is KEY. So I tried it that one historically fine day, following Jo Frost's method to a T, and I just had to laugh - Safa's reaction to it was EXACTLY like the other kids on the show. How does that woman know? Guess 16 years of being a nanny helps. no kidding .

Ofcourse, our little girl still adds drama to our lives these days (great haggler this one is) otherwise it'll be dull dull dull. But now she knows she'll be heading to her naughty spot when I use the tone. No way out. Supernanny my Superhero.bwahahaha.

So for old times sake, I present you the cutie patootie formerly known as The Screaming Queen:

p/s. This is a watered down version by the way, we'd be crazy to take a video of a real screaming episode - too busy closing our ears la.

2006-04-05T13:26:00.000+08:00

Overheard yesterday:

"Sorry I don't have milk for you, peez don't cry".

That's Safa' talking to her baby doll while pointing to her ..erm.. chest.

Ai... tgh upgrading la plak fotopages nie... isk isk.. Takpelah, aku upload gamba emma kat sini lah. Punyalah susah nak transfer from camera to comp. Abah emma asyik dpt eror jerk ngan cable free dia tuh... hahahaha... takperlah apa2 pun dah berjaya dah. So the story here is... aritu aku cite, dia ada hairstyle baru kan? Ikat rambut sebelah, tp skang rambut dia dah panjang, so mcm selit blakang telinga je pun dah boleh, but still comot la... sbb emma kan bz gerak here and there, so rambut pun ikut samalah. But now, dia dah tak cabut sgt sepit dia, just kalau nak tido tu dia cabut la... anyway we prefer to sepit her hair than to tie it, tp byk gak la sepit dia hilang and kalau ada love2 tu, tercabut easily... so abah dia kata, beli yg murah cukup! hahahaha...

Thats the hair story... the colouring story mcm nie... hahaha, skang dah pandai kaler2. tp bukan kaler pun la sebenarnya, more to conteng. nvm girl, just explore whatever u want. we love u... :) yg best tu dia siap baring and lentok kepala mcm dlm gambar tu, masa time kaler or tulis. wonder where she learnt it... school maybe. good job teachers... hahahahaa...

SR skang pun dah 5++ kan? so... she decided to tong2 with me, and we go and see at strudells... ada yg tempting.. tp Manal said too small to share, not worth it. If im alone and have enough money, i would have just buy it! so on the way back, singgah starbuck. i tot the cakes are rm8 je... skali rm8.80 la plak.. manal gave another rm4 we pick a flavour and then she naik atas dulu... the service was soooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooooww.... ntah apa2 ntah... skali masa nak bayar ada tax la plak... jad rm9.25 damn! i dont wanna change my rm50 and i have ngam2 rm9. sib baik idi tak cilok shilings from my purse... ahahhaha there goes another 30sen.... so, naik atas semangat nak makan... skaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... tak sedap ok!!!!! mmg no luck laaa... blueberry cheesecake... tak sedap langsung k! isk, jgn mkn tau korang! hehehe

Sindrom Org Tua 2

2006-03-09T11:49:00.000+08:00

. . .

No words can describe how tired I am of working hard on a relationship to keep everybody happy and yet keep having to cover up the cracks every other bloody day. tired.and feddup.

Stressed

2006-03-05T15:57:00.000+08:00

I don't understand,how can someone trust anybody with 100k plus. How can someone actually give that away? I can't even trust myself with that ammount of money, heck I don't even trust my parents with that ammount of money. Let alone someone you barely know, someone you met only few months ago. Why?!!

I am depressed. God help me I feel like killing someone, I'm gonna burst.

I am depressed.

I am depressed.

I am depressed.

Sindrom Org Tua

2006-03-04T18:23:00.000+08:00

Hidup aku dipenuhi dgn org2 tua yg suka mengungkit and berkira! argh.. policy aku senang, kalau tak ikhlas, tak payah bagi, tak payah tolong. Kalau dah bagi, kalau dah tolong, senyap sudah.

Tapi mungkin ni mmg sindrom org yg dah tua. So kalau betul.. aku pun tah2 jadi camtu kan? Ya Allah, jauh kan la aku dan keturunan ku dari sifat2 keji, berhasad dengki, berkira dan suka mengungkit.

Emmaku sayang...

2006-03-03T10:35:00.000+08:00

Akums... diam membisu semua kawan2ku... apa kes korang nie? bz ke? Hehehehe...

Nothing much to share, saja nak update bout my honey bunny Edmadina. Erm, first of all, Emma have been a mixture of good + noty (good way noty) girl! Emma's schedule skang, bgn tido around 7.45 – 8am, pastu abah dia kasik mandi pesemua, kengkadang time mandi mata still tutup lagik, pastu ada bunyi2 merengek disitu... hahaha... pastuuu, turun bawah, tgk Teletubies... she loves this series, everyday dia tgk, and everytime dia tgk, dia excited! It started at 8am, so by the time teletubies finish, Emma pun off to school! Sit on her yellow chair, her Wan will pakaikan her socks + shoes, hop down, salam Wan + Tok... walk by herself to the car, hop inside the car and try to climb on her car seat. Alhamdulillah, dah tak buat hal dah duduk atas car seat... tp kadang2 merengek jugak, buat derk je la, kejap je... pastu bye-bye wan+tok, i'll start to read ayat kursi, she'll make her hand mcm tgh doa, pastu amiiiiiiiiiiiiiinn... and theeeeeeeeeeenn.. her favourite part.... "hey mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun, please shine down on me....." pasang lagu Barney + friends collection. she'll be happy sampai school.

Then dah sampai school, dia tekan red button kat seat belt dia, (konon nak bukak sendiri lah) pastu turun kerete, i'll carry her purple bag, pastu pegang tgn, jln sendiri, naik bukit nak sampai pintu school... hahaha dulu taknak jln, nak dukung. pastu duduk atas kerusi panjang, bukak kasut pastu naik tangga masuk school dia... on the way naik tangga tu ada la gamba2 shapes, so sibuk la dia tunjuk2 kat stars, round, pencil... sampai atas, slalunya friends dia dah start berkumpul kat living room dah dgr dah lagu 7 days derang... so, emma salam mummy and she join the group.... dah tak nangis dah, dulu nangissssssss... tp kejap je laa....

And then malam plaaaaak.. dia mmg sukaaaaa sepahkan toys dia. her favourite, jatuhkan toy box dia, pastu semua dah sepah2 baru dia start main2. She likes books as well, slalu amik buku, pastu panggil aku duduk cerita2 kat dia, gamba dlm baku tu... tapiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii kalau dia geram, dia akan koyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakk buku... uwaaaaaaaaa, dah la most of the book, from our time kecik2 dulu... sampai kat emma, dah koyak2. waduh2... semlm emma punya hari bertuah. her wan bought her a pair of pants, 2 caps and 1 hat... tapi kesian wan emma, hat je boleh pakai, pants besar, tp sket lg boleh la pakai, but the cap... aku pakai pun muat! hahahahha lambat lg la emma pakai... kalau korang nak tau wan emma mmg suka emma dress up like boy! aku pun lebih kurang la, tp not la so much. pastu in total, dah 4 pasang topi emma hilang! aduh2.. 2 pasang kat tesco! lagi 2 tak tau mana p, sedar2 takde... damn! Oh, and then, abah emma balik belikan emma sandle plak! yeay, yeay! kasut emma 3 pasang semua dah ketat and she have no sandle yet, so her abah bought her one, and PLAN TO replace her tight shoes... saba emma saba....

Eh.. panjangnyaaaaa... hehehe

The One With So Many Stories

2006-02-13T12:58:00.000+08:00

So many cerita to tell.. which one first?

The One With The Tudung:
U all know how bad mondays are right? having to wake up early, going to work, battling the traffic jam to the office...but no, oh no that's not enough, some ppl just have to make it even worse than it already is. Now I have to wear this 'special' tudung to work. What's so special about it u may ask? Well apart from it's hideous blue color with nasty stripes and the red n orange company logo, it also has to power to make you go deaf! And a headache within an hour of wearing it! My brain felt like it's suffocating, with everything I say echoing back in the depths of my kepala otak. Aiyoh cannot stand lah.. so this week I'm wearing it as a scarf. What a way to start my Monday..tying a noose around my neck.

The One With The Maid:
My maid is a compulsive liar. I had to listen to 3 different version of the same story before I feel I'm finally getting the real story. Her so called 'uncle' is living nearby our house and apparently pernah dtg our house when we were not around! argh takutnya.. And he's been calling to talk to my maid and turn out the 'uncle' also a big liar. Mmg all this ppl penipu besar ke a? (I'm not mentioning the nationality, but u guys can figure out kan maid selalu org ape.) However on the bright side, rajin la jugak maid ni. Quite pembersih. Suka budak. Agak proactive, have the initiative to do housework that we do not ask her to do. Whatever it is, the maid is now staying at my mom in law's place. Weekend je duk our house.

So moral of the story, if u guys ever have a maid, no matter how innocent she looks, jgn percaya! Just be firm and garang from the start and make sure she can't use the house phone and doesn't have a handphone.

The One With Me Thinking I'm Going Nuts
I MISS being pregnant, I MISS giving birth, boleh tak camtu? MISS the contraction and everything lah. Am I going nuts? Feel like getting pregnant again. Have anyone of you ever felt this way?

More pics to come...

2006-02-13T10:41:00.000+08:00

how come this people don't learn anything from cleo?

2006-02-10T16:56:00.000+08:00

I must warn u people.. This entry is so negative and sungguh tak bagus tuk fellowship of the penguins hehehe

Anyway.. lemme just tell u a story..
I have a group of friends from way back from school.. these circle of people whom I describe as lulu’s

mengikut dictionary.com, lulu means – remarkable person, object or ideas. So in my case, these people are friends of whom I highly regard as having a remarkable character. Not that they are great ke ape.. but they are my friends
dan kalau mengikut tatabahasa, I simply call them the bingits hahahhahah

anyway, theres 7 of us in lulu’s. the one with the son, the one with the daughter (which is me), the one obnoxiously engaged, the one with the contagious sarcasm, the one with “lost and need help” on her forehead, the one as the human speech and finally the one with don’t-mess-with-me attitude.
All seven of us obviously have different character.. but today, I would like to rant about two types of people whom of late have been bugging our lives with their plain stupidity – the one obnoxiously engaged and the one with “lost and need help” on her forehead.

Beforehand, mintak maap ye akak-akak kerana membebel di tropical penguins.. bukan niat tuk memburukkan mereka tetapi sekadar meluahkan perassan dan meminta pandangan :D

This makcik – the one obnoxiously engaged obviously is getting married soon.. she usually will come at us telling how hard her life is.. and being a lulu we ofcoz give her our utmost support and encouragements saying its normal to face this and that but most of the times, our positive remarks will turn to negative just like her.. all the time our support is turned down and whats more she’ll always end it with – korang tak rase ape yg I rase.. or bende2 nih takkan jadi kat korg”.. and to add salt to our wounded hearts, her replies will include rude, sarcastic words! wth is that? Its as though she’s the only person on earth who god will test and no ONE will EVER gonna experience her hard life.. talk about hard life? Her family is staying at d’sara *t*m*, parents that drive a honda , working for a big car manufacturer which she says she’s ever so busy that no one can EVER tegur and her hard life revolve as claim by her, having a full time parents at home, working with japanese bosses.. and on top of that.. wedding!! shesshhh.. talking about being very ungrateful for what god has given her..

Ohh well.. the question is.. how do we keep her mouth shut from constantly complaining her hard life when in real life there’s even more people yang susah but never complain.. tengok je laa Bersamamu kan dah cukup as a reminder.. how oh how do we actually make her stop complaining and be grateful for what she have ?

Then theres this another makcik- the one with “ lost and need help” on her forehead. For the past urm 7-8 years she have been going out with an indian bf.. being an indian is one and being an indian whose parents are hindus devotees is two and being an indian who never intend to convert makes three reasons for normal people like us to realise this relationship is a mistake from the very start.. but hell no for her.. love is blind is all we can swallow.. but as time passes by, it finally dawned on us that it takes all girl power to make her realizes the wedding bells will never happen when both parents will NEVER EVER accept this kind of fate. And of coz, after years of being secretly going out with the bf, lies on top of lies kept on piling up and finally when it burst, bukan saje nyusahkan diri tp ofcoz drag kengkwn tercinte! Sungguhlaa sakitnyer hati
But I guess, my dear friend is just plain stupid or rather ignorance and still pursue of what little things she calls love. After months of plotting what seems inevitable would work, our plans somehow turns out lighter when finally after all night crying her heart outs, she finally gave in and ended the long endless relationship.. *bayangkanlah dier mcm citer hindustan* ehhehehehe

Our worries does not end there when she actually behind our backs secretly stay in touch with her old beau.. doesn’t anywhere in cleo or what not tell us that we can never be friends with an ex immediately be friends after breaking up? Isnt’t cruel to be kind has always been around and understandable statement for all? Aiyoohhh pening pk oke.. and now after being single and finally meet a better guy, she’s afraid the ex will bashed the other guy.. all because of her wanting to be friend with the ex and reporting daily to the ex.. shheesshhh

My question is.. how do we as a friend make her realize and put it in her head what she is doing is all WRONG? How do teach someone as ignorance as this to learn and grow up.. after all we are getting old kan?

p/s- i actually drafted this post a few days ago but was reluctant to post anything sbb this post is so negative compared to safa' singing barneys.. but what the heck.. its been awhile pun i post anything and lagi plak takut kang chimp mare lagi ehheheheh

LAW LC

2006-02-09T10:33:00.000+08:00

Hmmm.. nak mummble pasal apa aa?

Pasal keje boleh?

Vida! Best keje sini lg rather than EPL. Hahhahahaa... mostly becoz of the contents. Of cause u feel more attach to fashion+beauty+lifestyle magazine, than stupid football! Hahhahaha, masa mula2 masuk EPL dulu poyo trying to master the game. But after a while, I just dont give a damn actually. Just that i think my conversation wif hubby and abah got a bit more of colours coz at least i know something bout football. But it was a great experience. Im already in love wif the publishing world, eventhough im just the behind-the-book person. And working with my AD is great! He's a great person, klakar orgnya. Never too serious with me, but can be so strict with the marketing team. He's a hot tempered actually, but funny thing, never with me... for now lah, hopefully foreverlah. He's a part time basis, so i dont see him all the time. He's practically maintain the design quality of Vida! After Im done with my pages, he'll go through it again, checking the format and everything. Masa awal2 dulu, ya Allah, semua layout aku buat dia reshuffle! seriously, a simple page pun kene shuffle. hahahhaha, sakit hati aku! but now, i can smilly sit beside him and watch him edit a bit here and there aje.. heheheh im getting better or what? hahahahhahha... perasan sket ek :D. Best tau tgk dia buat pages, he have this style where he likes to measure the screen! Hahahhahahah not using ruler la of cause, using the 'L' shape of his finggers - just to make sure the page is balance he said. Pastu kalau the komp a bit slow nak respond, nanti dia bersiul and tap on the side of the monitor. Cuba korang try! hahahahah Klaka la. his fav quote, "Pigirah mabuk!" Aduh funny funny... and my opismate assign him as my boyfriend. Him and the colour seperator, Kenny. We giggles a lot when we buat keje. Even my boss realise this! She once said, "hey what r u guys doing there, giggling all the time..." Jgn marah ek, hubby ku.... hahahhahahaaa...thats LAW LC, my AD. :)

Y lah m i telling u guys all this? hahahah saje nak share ok? :) tp ade yg tak bestnya, i think the editorial team is quite kelam kabut! This month we have a stylist who left without notice. So all of her, I mean his (u know what I mean? hahaha) need to be done by the other 2 writers + my editor/boss. to hire a freelance stylist is quite expensive, RM500(amateur) per project, and Vida! have like 3-4 fashion section. So to save cost, my boss put the presure inhouse! Hahahahhahahaa... giler! Well, at least here, the publisher is the editor as well, which means, she understand overall about the trafic. So, the designer(me) never to be blame...for nowlah! But in EPL, the publisher sucks! They only do marketing and the end of the day pushing and rushing the designers to do miracles by pressing one key on the keyboard! A**hole! :D

Oklah guys, hheheheh enough bout my work, later aku cite pasal Emma sakit ari tu.... sedih sgt... very2 bad experience, this is worse than getting her to drink milk from bottle. :((

I love you...

2006-02-04T03:52:00.000+08:00

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too

p/s: I miss Safa'

Pyjamas

A little girl and her father were going out for the day. They boarded the MRT at Pasir Ris. It was Chinese New Year so the train was fairly empty since most shops were closed. Two stops later, a group of tourists from India got on. They stood in the middle of the train. All were dressed up as if heading to a party. One, especially, stood out. He was wearing a red shirt with big black flowers and sunglasses, standing as if posing for a Bollywood movie.
The little girl turned to her father, and rather loudly said,"Walid, can I have that pyjamas?". After not getting a response to her question, she asked again, this time pointing at the poor man, "Oh Waliiid can I have that pyjamas pleees?" in her sing-song voice.

Her father, afraid she'd ask again, gave a hasty,"Ok,ok,ok."
The little girl looked contented.
People around smiled.

The poor man turned and faced elsewhere.

2006-01-25T11:05:00.000+08:00

I hate getting shocked or surprised (unless it's a good surpriselah). You won't find me at any cinema showing a scary movie. Ghost, vampires and the likes don't really do it for me (unlike somebody we know ;) ) . I just can't take the suspense, the moment the music changes and you know something is about to happen - my eyes are closed tight. It's that bad. Once somebody tried to 'surprise' me when I came home at night to what I thought was an empty house. Let's just say that person will never ever do it again after seeing my face.

Yes it's that bad.I'm a chronic scaredy-cat. Self-confessed Penakut.Yes, with a capital P.

So why the heck did I agree to go reverse bungee jumping??? (The same one chimp had wanted to go on when she was here.)
I stupidly told my sister about it and she begged to go. I must have been out of my mind and said ok. I told myself maybe she'll say 'no thank you' the moment we get there. Instead, I got an 'ofcourse, yes yes yes!" Giler.

The place was dead quiet when we got there.Good. Nobody will watch me scream my head off. Ibrahim decided to stay with a sleeping Safa' first and my wait for my brother to join him on it later.

So there I was in the capsule, being strapped in a 5 way seat belt, still thinking how to get out of it. It was slightly drizzling but the guy said it's ok. He asked us to relax our head back, and then I got it- "my back!", I thought "I can't go on this thing coz I had back problems before!". But before I could say anything , we were shot up in the air at 200kph to 60 metres high. I forget how many times we went up and down. The capsule kept going round, at one point we were upside down off the seat with only the seatbelt holding us. It was crazy.

The view? You'd have to ask my sister, my eyes were closed. Hah. By the time I opened them, we were just bouncing slowly in the air admiring the view of the contruction site infront of us. The capsule was then slowly lowered to the precious ground. Thanks to my sister's screaming (yes I kept my mouth shut too) we were welcomed by tons of Indian tourists. We then headed to Haagen Dazs wobbly knees and all so, as Ibrahim put it, I could gather up all my nerves.

My brother didn't turn up so Ibrahim never did go on.He's dragging me there again soon, he says. I agreed. I think I have the inability to say NO, or then again maybe I've been cured ? Hmm.. we'll see.

cerita pasal monchies

2006-01-23T11:39:00.000+08:00

hello all.. what have you guys been up to? me, practically nothing.. malam ni nak fly to penang.. hopefully will be my last trip to settle all the issues there.. dah tak larat asyik ulang-alik pegi sane.. this coming chinese new year, nak balik kelantan lagi.. seronoknye dapat makan nasik berlauk tiap2 pagi hehehe.. bile aku kire balik berapa trip yang aku buat sepanjang aku pregnant ni.. rupenye.. i have travelled the most during my pregnancy period! 3 flight trips & 1 road trip to penang, 3 flight trips & 1 road trip to kota bharu and 2 road trips to kuantan! altogether 10 trips, plus 1 coming up next month..

life has definitely been better, with my sister staying with me.. tiap2 hari ade cerita best pasal students die yang kuang hajaq.. tah pape tah budak2 skarang.. dulu mase aku students, aku tak terpike pun nak buat macam tu punye kuang hajaq kat cikgu.. having a sister meaning there's someone to cook for me when i'm lazy, someone to talk to when hubby is watching football or when i woke up early morning & hubby is still having his beauty sleep, someone to accompany me if i want to watch girlie2 movie, someone to go window shopping when i feel like doing so.. although skarang ni dah malas nak jalan2..

yesterday, me & hubby went for a walk at wetland putrajaya.. pegi tengok flamingo.. aku rasa perut aku dah cramp.. rasa macam stretched here and there.. so maybe a walk will keep the baby relaxed hehe.. suke2 hati buat theory sendiri.. nowadays, i did nothing much.. tak macam dulu terkejar ke sane ke sini.. i enjoy having a relaxed weekend at home.. lepak2 sementara boleh lepak.. sebab nanti bile da ade baby takde mase nak lepak dah kan?

Jangan salah sangka yinnek, aku memang nak update blog ni. Aku kan diva, gile limelight.. Tapikan, aku diva yang takde cite menarik untuk diblogkan.

Macam harinih, aku ada cite yang takde la menarik sangat pon. Tapi saje, untuk hiburan dan tantapan sesape yang suke mendengar jeritan batinku.

To cut the story short (malas tulis panjang2), aku gi la GMAX ni together gether la dengan smitten kan. Konon cam tak kisah la aku naik sorang pon kan. Contemplated nih ya rabbi dari start naik MRT pi collect tiket bas, pastu dah sampai ke betul2 depan GMAX pon aku dok contemplate nak naik ke tak lagi. Aku kan pengecut skang nih, dulu mungkin la aku cam tayah offer pon aku naik je menatang2 camtu.

And when I finally gathered all my courage, pegi counter, "You have to at least have 2 person to go on the ride", ape the kejadah kan? Padahal dalam hati takut nak mati nak naik sorang orang tiket cakap camtu je terus lege..

Apesal aku tertulis panjang2 gak nih?? Iskkk.. ok pendek cite aku tak dapat naik GMAX hari ni. Aku rase lege 30%, kecewa 10%, takde perasaan 60%. Sekian saje cite aku.

Habish...

2006-01-04T09:42:00.000+08:00

Huhuhuhu...

Keluhan perasaan Wednesday morning, 4th day of new year, 2006. Brrrr.... LAMBAT SAMPAI OPIS LAGI! Adush, its new year and im suppose to be a better person. Damn! The planning is all in my head, but most of it just stuck there and it never translated to production session. Pitty Emma, she's late for school for 2 days. Actually we manage to reach there b4 nine, but she haven't took her bath yet! Her friends are all ready to start the class. By the time she took bath and so on, she might missed the first 15 minute of the class. (Hahaha as if la class dia blaja ape sgt, just nursery rhymes and exercise jer, but still, decipline matters, rite???)

Yeah, my plan for this year is to bath her b4 she goes to school. Oklah, first day (tues) kira kasik chance laa, coz her mummy wake up late :D, which is 7:45 and also terlepas subuhlah! Lagi pun first day, lama Emma tak bgn awal. Hehehe... But today... her good mummy wake up early, 6:30 but still, Emma tak mandi pg td. Ya Allah, nyenyak sgt dia tidooooo.... We geletek, she smile and laugh in her sleep. We pick her up, she did her ballet stunt. We wash her face with water, nothing happen. For a while I wonder, is she playing trick on us? Then after that we gave up! Just change her diapers, pick her up and put her in her car seat. Vrooomm, JAM LA PLAK!!! Dah tu, keluar pukul 8:32, mana tak jam! Adush! We were suppose to keluar start from 8 to 8:15, later then that dah jam dah nanti. Again, new hope for tomorrow....

Grrr... even if i wake up early, i always, always have something extra to do, which ends up making me late! Organise E! Organise ur self! My mum always say, "You're a mother!" Brrr... SO? Hahhahahaaa... well, i guess u all know that my mom went for haji this year, AND THATS WHAT MAKING MY LIFE HARDER! Imagine la, kalau aku basuh baju tiap2 hari pun, tak cukup tempat nak sidai, pastu sure tak kering punya! Bila masa baju tu nak kering dah udara lembap, asyik ujan, pastu sidai bawah bumbung. Oklah, baju kitorang boleh simpan weekend, abes baju emma? Uniform ada 3, seminggu ada 5 hari. Oklah kalau tak kering boleh gosok pagi tu, lembap sket2 jer kan? Pastu nak gosok baju aku lagi, tudung lagi, baju idi lagi? Last2 lambat jugak... adush!

Dah dah... Fullstop. Aku nak sambung Yatek punya list.

Things to do b4 i'm 30 (not in particular order)

1. MBA
2. Have UR OWN saving, not family saving
- u guys might already have it, but i dont. to me its so damn important coz incase we wanna treat ourself something, we dont have to add it in our monthly budget. For example: aku teringin sgt nak pergi body massage yg luxurious punya, coz my body is aching. Kalau ada saving kan bagus, boleh layan...

Oklah, thats all... so sad takleh p weding MJ and even akikah Madihah. Got to work laaa... damn!

Opinions needed

2005-12-28T10:36:00.000+08:00

Thinking of getting my other half an oud (gambus) since his old one has long gone to oud heaven. but I'm stuck deciding which one to get. So before I do some serious damage to my not so big bank account, I need you guys' opinion. The only thing I know is I don't want too simple a design. I can't ask him because its supposed to be a surprise although he's probably suspicious since suddenly overnight I've become an oud expert. I know my husband well enough to know it has to be ornate, but the question is how ornate?

These are the ones I've narrowed down, all arabic ouds.

Example of a simple one

2005-12-27T13:00:00.000+08:00

Last two days been feeling crappy, caught some sort of bug making me feel like my head's about to explode and nauseaus (No i'm not pregnant). Today woke up feeling like I got hit by truck.

Brought the little madam to the hairdresser yesterday, its especially for kids, with LCD tvs playing Barney cds so they don't make a fuss while getting their haircut. Menyesal tak bawak camera, she looked so..grown up. 2 balloons, a book of stickers and 3 sweets later she had transformed into a cheeky girl who kept turning her head as if she was in some shampoo advertisement. Kids these days.

These were photos taken a couple of days ago...

ps. Iffah ko ade dapat tak msg ym aku yg extremely panjang?

hello ladies..

2005-12-21T15:26:00.000+08:00

Guess this would be my first entry.. pardon me for my laziness.. but finally the day has come for me to jot something in the blog. Since most of us are already 25 (i'm yet to be in few days.. hint hint!!).. so Im thinking of doing a list of things to do before we 30.. dah tua kan? hari ni baru realize..

Things to do b4 i'm 30 (not in particular order)
1. MBA
2. ....

Any suggestion? i'm stuck..

Pumpi: tak sabar nak tunggu ko balik opis..

uuu i'm scared!

2005-12-16T17:54:00.000+08:00

been a long long time since i last posted something 'ere. the mood is just not there when everybody else is also silent. now that everyone's talking, i'll share my thoughts too.

yesterday, during a meeting, this one kakak tegur me (my tummy to be exact). she asked me how months is my pregnancy. almost 15 weeks. she said "u've got quite a tummy for a 15-week pregnant lady." (oh my!)

and today, she came around again. she said, "i've been wanting to say this. i think ur pregnancy is actually similar to my previous one." mind you, she had a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy big tummy the last time she was pregnant. that was about 2 years back. everyone was afraid her tummy would explode anytime, especially takut perut die terkepit kat celah lif. and her baby? 4.6kg normal delivery. a hyper-active baby boy.

it suddenly sent shivers down my spine. besar sangat ke perut aku ni? sebab kadang2 mcm besar, kadang2 mcm biase. tak tau lah. the last time i went for scan, mase 3 months hari tu, my baby was actively moving. macam rockstar tengah head banging pon ade jugak. and the doc said, "aktif baby u ni.." i told that kakak the story. she said, baby die pun same.

he he he. a pregnant fren of mine said i shud stop taking obemin (betul ke spelling?) sebab nanti baby jadik lagi besar. betul ke? hmm.. plus the obemin is making me nauseous all day thru.

ape-ape pun, i'm just praying my baby will be healthy. and selamat dilahirkan. still 6 more months to go. dah ramai org ckp aku dpt baby boy kot nanti. sebab aku alahan dengan bau wangi. he he he. my hubby is hoping for a baby boy too. but i don't mind as long as it's healthy :)

Transition

2005-12-14T14:36:00.000+08:00

I think I am going through a transition, I swear I could feel it. Yesterday I was young, careless, ignorant and lazy. Today, though I'm still lazy, but I couldn't help but notice some other changes.

The list:
- I (sometimes) wake up at 7am, ok la average time ranging from 6:30 - 9:30am la. No joke and no cheating, I slept after midnight everytime eh, mind you! Back there (Oh btw, I came back already lah smitten), it might have been those noisy-banging-everything-they-touch-don't-know-the-word-manners* Gujrat girls that woke me up very early in the morning. Well, in my defense though, I still wake up early when they're not around. Except if I was totally worn out before I go to bed, this could due to either too much stress thinking about the sudoku's solution or a day out to town.

*To those who've known me for years, you should know that I am the heaviest sleeper around, and if you could wake me up without touching me or calling out my name. You can imagine how loud is the house at 7-9am every weekdays.

- I feel closer to God. Enough said.

- I am scared to watch horror movies alone, I don't scream but I'd shut my eyes tightly. I might faint at the sight of fresh blood. On second thought, maybe not. I started to have this new fear 2 years ago, only recently that it became obvious.

- I'm letting my hair grow below shoulder length. Ape gile aku ni? I don't know.

These are the 4 most obvious changes. I'm comfortable with no.1 and 2, but I don't like no.3. The last one is ok la, not so keen on that either I just don't have the desire to cut or trim my hair. The weird part is, my hair doesn't bother me that much compared to before. Yeah the weather is still hot and wet, and I still sweat like people in sauna. It just doesn't bother me anymore, suddenly they're not excuses for me to have a haircut any longer. Maybe I haven't been on a ride yang takde air-cond, when the wind blows in through the windows, fuh, not even Vidal Sassoon can help you.

Is this a growing phase? Does everybody have to endure this? I'll accept whatever it is, please bring back my courage to watch horror movies alone, uwaaaaaaaaaaaa....

2005-12-13T15:26:00.000+08:00

I hope me checking the blog every two weeks won't be a habit. But what to do, I only have so many hours to do everything- and more.

To list down what I have been up to would result in an extremely boring, mundane, yawn-worthy entry so we can scrap that and go straight to the juicy part. Eh wait, where got juicy. Forgot I'm 'working' in an attic and have to down 3 storeys everytime my "assistant" wants to go the loo. (10 times a day) "Hehehe..akak.. ____ nak gi toilet la. Leh turun kejap tak?"

Urgh.

I swear I don't remember being 19 and so.... dunnola what to call it. This morning I was on the way to the shop, she calls asking me where I was. "Why?" I asked. "Hehe, seram la duk sorang2". Ermm at 10 am? Yesterday it was her being afraid to open the shutters, the day before she forgot her keys and the list goes on.

I know... I know I shouldn't get so easily annoyed. She's new and all, but coupled with PMS, a 2 year old who's been fed junk every damn day, and nothing going the way it should be- I'm ready to explode. Oh and if she flashes the peace sign again I swear I'll scream. Then we'll see who'll be going "He he he".

spiritual journey

2005-12-07T11:42:00.000+08:00

Its almost a year back around this time that I have so much in my head that I wish everything will just disappear into thin air.. those thoughts back them can be summed up as bad thots, negative thots.. I have always have this takut feeling inside me just by thinking about it and listening to other people experiences and read through many Mastika, justified everything that I needed..

All those what if questions and campur plak with all the bad things that I did in my life..
What if while I am there, I cannot find my way out..
What if i drowned in the sea of people
What if while im there, I need to makan pisang goreng so badly.. mane nak carik?
What if I really need to pee and the toilet is not working and busuk?
What if and what if…
I have a lot of those back then..
And what is worse.. I got no comforting words.. all they said.. dunt complain..
Its just a small thing.. its better u face it here than the real big time..
I guess its true.. I have to wallow everything up..
Brace myself and go through with it..

But I am scared.. even with ayil around me..i am still scared..
At that point of time, I still feel im like a little girl.. and not a five month preggie women (alaa benci ayat women nih).. I still need my ayah and ibu…
.....

The time came.. everything that I needed to do, I did with extra slow,, mandi laa makan laa solat laa and ofcoz packing.. my bag and I was the last to go down and the last to meet the rest of the people.. and the last to enter the car… sume pun nak last!
Ougghh I hated those feelings back then,,.. ill cry easily and ill start thinking of those shitty things *what if’s and what not’s* again

Haji.. ohhh Haji…
But now after almost a year, I am tempted to go again.. I missed all the time I was there.. no work issues, no stress and I was free to do anything I want- which basically boils down to sleeping, eating, endless hours of watching CNN and of coz praying..
I missed those late night where ayil and I walked our way to the mosque to perform our solah in front of kaabah.. how blissful.. and how easy for us to be able pray infront of kaabah.. and to complete our hajj without dugaan yang melampau..

I missed the cold air zam zam, the cold night while praying on the top floor in masjidil haram.. the mango ice cream.. the mini murtabak.. the dust.. the musty smells.. the going back to and for from hotel to mekah hilton.. the big supermarket.. chocolates.. dates and the variety of kebab stalls every corner of your hotel

and ouuhhh.. Madinah is simply beautifooollllll... i was amazed by the new architechure, the clean pathways and the row of hotels around us.. cantik sangat.. very different from the last visit i went when i was 11. ahhhhhh the masjid nabawi.. i was really jakun.. mmg time tuh tak reti nak malu.. i kept on staring at the ceilings and gave the ohhh ahhh reaction when they opened the dome and let us feel the cool night under the blanket of thousands stars...

Alaa rindunyerrr.. trase nak pegi balik.. I guess that’s one of the nikmat to be able to perform ur umrah and hajj.. u’ll miss those times.. and those memories kept coming back and buat kite rindu and teringat2 jek..

u girls shud go gak.. and being pregnant time tuh pun not a problem.. u're pampered with extra care and alhamdulillah i was one of the fittest even when my amniotic sac was a bit low..

Glad I went.. and insyaallah kalau murah rezeki, I’ll want to go again and again and again…
The best holiday ever! heheheheheh

Sick & Happy

2005-12-02T16:23:00.000+08:00

Hi ppl.. good to see that the blog is up and running again.. pleaseeeee jgn senyap lama2. Hey Chimp, gempak gile ok bleh buat karipap! Tabik spring, toing..toing..toing..

Dah 39 days dah aku pantang.. kalau ikut kan esok dah habis n merdeka. But not for me.. since aku ni melayankan sgt blues aku and lambat cari makcik urut (to replace the nyanyuk makcik urut yg dtg awal2 tu..) So aku baru cari makcik urut lain n I decided to have 10 days of urut session with her since aku cam tak sihat lagi. Jadi aku pantang 46 hari! heheh gile kan? tape le 2 days extra.. ramai je org pantang 44 hari..

Had sore throat the other day.. now dah batuk2.. then sinus lagi. Sigh...

But whatever it is I'm happy that Maryam is such a good girl and a joy to have.. not to mention her ever helpful papa.

I'm high from the sinus and cough syrup that I took.. had lots to write but my mind is blank right now.. the doc said the medication won't effect the baby.. but she's been sleepy and asleep almost the whole day.. habis lah kalau malam die die tamau tido!

Karipap story, or not..

2005-12-02T00:01:00.000+08:00

Last night was my second attempt to make karipap. And I found out it gives a whole lot of difference if you use different type of butter.

lepa susu = butter? eh? Why in the recipe write like that one? Must be it lah right?

Anyway, my karipap this time, the taste ah I tell you.. finger licking good one ah! Nah, it's better but I'm sure I missed a lot of other side ingredients to make the dough. But nevermind lah, malas wanna do the lengkap2 one.

Those stupid people didn't flush the toilet again today, or they did flush but, you know lah when it doesn't go down properly, it's enough to irritate anybody. And why in the world must you use my cebok to soak your underwears? And left your unwashed underwear in the shower some more? Haiya these people really need somebody to teach them manners lah. Really boils my blood lah, cannot stand anymore, later go back wanna mention about it to them. Sorry no cure lah this time, no mercy, don't care if I'm being harsh or what. HUH!!!

p/s: Congratulations new mommy to be, monchies!!

2005-12-01T07:57:00.000+08:00

Haven't checked our blog here in ages, didn't even realized chimp-yg-tak-balik2 ni had posted an entry.

These past 2 weeks have been super tiring. I had forgotten how it was when I once had a job,till now. I only get back home around 7 plus, give little madam her dinner,bathe her, put her to bed, then more often than not, I'm out myself. I forgot how oprah looks like LOL. My once healthy potted herbs are dead. I only go to the kitchen to pick on food. Hell I don't even know what's in the fridge anymore.Aiyo. On top of that been making 2-day-kl-trips nearly every week so my norwegian celup sister tak merajuk. Penat.

But hey I'm kinda my own boss right (the key word here is kinda), so cannot complain (that much) la. And our little shop is right smack in town so anytime retail therapy is needed i'm outta there. But the shop, is the bane of my existence right now. sigh. too long a story..nanti2 la eh...

Ah.. Safa's up so I'm off, take care everybody.

What's the story behind the lorry?

2005-11-25T22:04:00.000+08:00

So what's up mommies? Sorang baru give birth, another 2 got new jobs, sorang lagi tu memang tak reti update dari dulu, yang lagi 2 orang ape cite?

OK I admit, I haven't read many of your posts. So busy la dey. Ni baru bleh online, bernafas la sikit. Not that comfy though, there are always things yang nak double boil my blood. Sikit lagi jadi gile.

The attempt to make my own karipap the other day was quite successful. At least they are all finished before basi, so that's how I measure the successfulness. Hihihi although I ate most of them, haw haw haw!

What else to update eh? Oh, I've become racist, thank to my landlord, that supermarket aunty who charged me more than what's written on the price tag (twice!!), rude people who don't know the word 'manner', dirty bastards who don't know how to distinguish between grease, dirt, crumbs and clean plates, and let alone the criminals. It's funny when they're all coming from a same race, co-incidence? I think not. Stop making statements yang korang ni kena buli, kena tindas, kena discriminate and stuff. You brought the troubles in yourself.

OK puas hati dah. I hope I don't have to deal with all these bimbos yang perasan omputeh dan jantan2 kabaret yang perasan hensem dan pandai. Deal with it, korang tak pandai ok, menumpang negara orang tu buat cara menumpang.

I think, tu je kot, lagi lama kat sini lagi rasa nak bunuh orang. Jage iman.

p/s: smitten, tayah la resipi karipap tu, aku dah jumpe somewhere else. Macam ko ingat pon kan hahaha, busy eh? Ala sian die.. Anyway, thanks smitten.

My last entry?

2005-10-24T23:27:00.000+08:00

VAT tu Value Aded Tax. So kalau aku beli stroller 200 pounds, ade 17.5% VAT, aku boleh claim balik about that much la kat customs - masa kat airport nak balik M'sia (not exactly 17.5%... ada administration fee etc)

Aku nak Stroller Peg Perego, model Pliko P3, tapi aku tak beli kat sini masa sale and murah sbb Parents In Law aku tak kasik beli suh tunggu beranak. So tak beli la.. sekali dah abis sale stock dabis, tinggal color yg tak best sgt, yg lain display unit and mahal la kan.. pastu kalau nak tunggu stock baru naik harga 10% cam tu.

Coincidently my bro in law pi London hari tu, so we asked him to look for it since we know it's an Italian brand, sure ada kat sana. Turned out mmg ada but branded as Mamas and Papas and range of colors that they have cantik2. It's also a bit cheaper compare dgn kat sini. It comes with a matching car seat.. so we asked him to buy kat sana. That's the story morning glory...

Gambar ni le stroller yg aku beli, but it doesn't come with the kid.. :D

Okie dokkie.. moving on the the biggest news of the century.. jeng jeng jeng!..

InsyaAllah aku deliver esok. I'm going to be warded tomorrow morning. My amniotic fluid has been low for almost a week, so the doc decided it's better to induce now rather than wait, to avoid more complications. So pray for us.. doa baby and me selamat and sihat.. doa labour aku tak teruk... ok guys?

Bye bye.. maybe my last entry for a while.. (or not since I'm at home, tah2 lagi rajin dari korang buat entry.. haha)

Minta mak..kuih sepotong..

2005-10-24T00:38:00.000+08:00

everybody has been so quite! How's ur ramadhan so far girls? Chimp buka puasa makan ape kat sana?

Me dah ponteng puasa 3 hari. 1 day sbb tak sahur, and now sbb my amniotic fluid is low. I've been busy lately.. busy at the office, busy at home preparing baby stuff, and busy tuang kerja... hehehe. I just sleep most of the time bile tuang kerja.

Baby dah engage since last wednesday night. Still hoping she will come raya day, though.

Oh.. zana(and everybodyelse) i got the stroller n car seat. A bit more expensive then we anticipated, but still cheaper compared to buying it here. Mahal sikit sbb we thought the VAT's gonna be 17.5%, turned out mmg la 17.5%, but only for the stroller and the car seat 5% je. My bro in law brought back the kedai's catalog, the stuff they have is simply divine! Nak pengsan aku tgk, asal la sini takda. Sape nak tgk can surf http://mamasandpapas.com/

Almost 2 a.m. and I'm still not sleepy. Sigh.. tomorrow i have to go to work. Need to settle a lot of things before my maternity leave. But I can't sleep! In a little while it's sahur time already... oh well, I better try getting some sleep now.

Ta..

2005-10-14T09:06:00.000+08:00

Money and I don’t get along.

We can never stick around together for long. It always decides to leave the moment it comes in contact with me. Come to think of it, I have the same problem with certain cards too, they love leaving the wallet and trying out different card machines just for the heck of it.

I think I should be locked in and the key thrown out.

Nak balik...

2005-10-07T09:33:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I dragged a sleepy Nelli and my cousin N to Ikea n Arab St to help me out with some stuff. Took the mrt, and stopped at Queenstown and should have taken a bus to ikea. We must have left our brains at home, coz we walked instead, in the hot sun. Wasn't that far, but coupled with the intense heat and construction going on, it wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do. Duhh.
Anyway, 2 hours later we were in Arab St, unloaded the shelves and I showed them the place a bit. There's nothing in it yet,so it was a quick tour. By then Nelli could no longer open her eyes, so she headed back home while N and I went to the mosque with the kids. The kids were angels yesterday, thank goodness.

Safa' and Abdullah - everytime we go out, ppl think they're siblings

Then we headed to the Pasar Ramadhan. Korang, what a disappointment. It consisted of maybe 10 stalls on one side of a road. I don't know why I was disappointed, its not like my first Ramadhan here, but just the words Pasar Ramadhan conjures up images of rows of endless stalls, people walking about not able to make up their minds, the myriad of sounds, and smells that overwhelm you. And every year I forget it's not the same here. Sabar je la. Dahla this is one year I won't be going back during Ramadhan..

Oh well...

ps. I never knew there was such a dish called beehoon briyani, am i the only one?

it's not for me

2005-10-05T14:51:00.000+08:00

Okelah zana.. ko garang heheheheh.. kantoi sbb reply msg ngan zana
Sorry geng, I didn’t post any comments let alone post any sumber bacaan for u people..
I have been very demotivated.. and hence all the malas bugs into my head altho most of my days in the office is free with bloghopping, gmailling and chatting.

Lemme just get the stories in order..

A month ago, I was called by my puan to see her.. at first I was afraid sbb aku slalu laa dtg keje lambat n tghari balik umah and balik lambat and by balik time, Im the first to go back.. but that was not the issue.. my puan was asking my direction or my future path. I was a bit confused at that time coz I was recently transferred from one subsidiary to another and doing a different thing. My new post at the new subs is still the same as the previous one doing CRM/ Marketing, the only differences is , now im doing for the whole group of companies.. kekononnyer nak fully utilise me laa nih..
Back to citer ngan puan, she called me and asked what I want to do.. coz as she put it, she saw my flares in PR and hence she wanted to pull me together under her wings..
I was at that time was very happy. Ive always wanted to go into this PR thingy.. I told her im happy to do it and she also explained that I’ll also be indirectly be our GMD so called PA.
That frightens me actually.. so I told puan.. lets give a months try.. and will review my salary once confirmed..

I was so happyyyyy.. mane taknyer.. suddenly actually my big boss was actually looking at my work and confident that I can do it! But it doesn’t stop there kan…
So the next day, the boss wanted to see me and personally asked me how I feel about the new position.. I frankly told him im happy and would love to try and be tested by the workloads and stuffs.. and I also mentioned to him about the 1 month trial which he agress..
Happy happy happy..

And so I tried to prove my capabilities and how I can stand all the pressures and datelines. Coincidentally, our annual equestrian premier cup series was just around the corner, hence the opportunity to show my worth to the company..
I worked hard to make sure whatever things that puan asked me, its always come up with a good and positive respons. And puan also mentioned to me.. she like my proactive ways…
Sounds good? To me it does…

The equestrian show came and went by..
But nothing came for me..
And later I found out…
They actually hired another person to take the job they offered me first..
And they didn’t even tell me..
And what more, there have been incidents of firing my colleagues without any solid n acceptable reasons ( acceptable to me laa and maybe a few in the office)

Sedeyynyerrr.. I have actually put high hopes on it.. sape taknak kan salary naik.. all the plans that ayil n I have goes down the drain.. I thot I can share the news with korg after e shared the news to korg.. but.. it doesn’t turn out that way…

So now.. im back at square one.. searching for any companies to take me..
I am currently job hunting.. but the market is not good kan? I have to compete with fresh grads and what more having connections doesn’t help much either..

So what choice do I have?
Stay with this company? Hmm not a good choice either.. this company is moving to putrajaya next year.. I dunt I have the energy to drive thru and fro everyday..
So dear ladies, if u happens to know of a good place which pays good money, do tell me..

p/s- dillah u better get that maid to order! it sure helps u a lot! especially time ko nak tido siang ari hehehe

Why lah does something always have to go wrong?

Here I am leading my perfect little life, not disturbing anybody, going about my everyday routine with a smile (ok ok a little exaggeration there), but seriously I was happy. Then, out-of-the-blue, I get a full dose of negativity and sarcasm coming at me at full blast leaving me weak and limp and feeling.... blerghhhh.

Why??

selamat menyambut ramadhan!

2005-09-30T16:52:00.000+08:00

aloha ppl, da lame tak post any entry.

been busy with work, as usual. hmm, hari ni happy sebab bole habis keje awal, so can go back early.. tomorrow going to balik kelate.. after quite some times already.. terharu dengar suara my parents so happy that we're going back..

puasa is coming soon.. so as usual, jom bukak puasa sekali tak one day? every year pun kene buat mcm tu.. heheheh.. tahun ni nak buat kat mane ek? start suggesting... last year it was at johnny's, the year before that was it F1? da tak ingat..

and u dila, can't wait for ur baby.. hehehe.. the other day i visit my fren's babies.. twins, one pair.. so cute.. damia alisha & daniel harith. any names in mind for ur baby?

hmm, ape lagi nak cakap eh.. nothing much lah except selamat menyambut ramadhan to everybody.. semoga ramadhan tahun ni membawa lebih keberkatan.. (tahun ni kene bangun sahur masak nasik huhuhuhu..) okay ppl, it's 5 oledy.. gotta go. da!

Maid to Order - sape ingat?

2005-09-29T13:24:00.000+08:00

Been a while since I wrote.. seems like it's been a while since everybody wrote.. why so quite ppl?

Zana, got ur sms.. hehe.. thanks for asking.

I haven't been 'well' these past few days. Just went to the office on Monday and half day yesterday. That's why I haven't been online. I'm 35 weeks now, can't belive it! Ni tuang kerja lagi ni.. hehe.Tapi sat gi cam nak pi Sogo nye warehouse sale je rasa... teruk tak?

Moving on to other things.. my father offered me a maid for 3 months, to help out during my confinement. Should I take the maid? Yat thinks I should... since sape nak tolong jaga when hubby is not around... But I'm not sure, nanti dah dependent on the maid, pastu nak keep her longer. I don't want a maid in the house, but it's fine if it's for just 3 months. And I know i'll definitely bersuka ria mengarah-ngarah maid tu buat mcm2 menda since dlm pantang... But I can do housework if I have too la.. Nanti dah comfortable ada maid, pastu dah tak reti nak cope after 3 months.. bile die dah tade, pastu nanti tension2. Mcm masalah besar je kan? tapi baca2 balik cam hampeh je.

And the thing is.. well, this is insulting yet so sweet at the same time.. the reason my father really want to get that maid for me is that... die takut aku nervous breakdown! ahahah.. so now there's my ego trying to proof that - heck I can cope without a maid during my confinement. Tapi when I think about it, I don't think I can do it alone, there should be at least 1 person with me.

Our plan is, after muzamil dah habis cuti, we'll get my parent's maid, or my in law's maid to come and teman me and help out. But it will be a hassle for them la plak since their maid kena dtg sini. And then my in law's maid usually go back for a month or more during raya.. can't even consider her a maid, she's been with them for so long, even before my husband was born. Lagi pun sure parents aku bengkek je.. hari tu org offer maid tak nak.. pastu ni nak mintak maid dieorg plak. Tul tak?

Hahahha.. bosannye ape aku membebel ni.. tapi sbb tade org pun nak tulis ape2.. biar la aku publish post yg boring amat ni..

Lapar lah.. bye!

2005-09-23T08:21:00.000+08:00

Nah..proof my daughter can get along with somebody. (How sad does that sound?)Don't worry miss Inawarni, Safa' takes a looong time to get chummy with some no..MOST people. Must take classes from u and emma lah. Speaking of emma, dah steady jalan?
So anyway, N came over yesterday for lunch and much needed company for Safa'. She's so bored at home with just me, I have to find a playschool for her. I know I keep saying that, but this time I really HAVE to. Today, however, she'd have both grandmothers to play with (for once!), even though its just for the weekend-jadi lah. Gonna go pick them up this afternoon and then have dinner at Arab street. Have a good weekend everybody!

user acceptance test @ brickfield

2005-09-20T14:40:00.000+08:00

hi everybody!
last weekend i was so happy.. we did all the changes, switching some furniture in the house, re-creating the area, hanging all the wedding pictures.. so now we have a new mini workstation, and a new tv area :D

and later that nite, hubby dropped the bomb.. we are going to celebrate raya in kuantan this year.. my oh my.. actually, i was prepared for that, but somehow or rather i felt sad.. of kos la kan.. 25 tahun raya kat kelantan.. tahun ni raya kat kuantan.. anyway, i am looking forward to it.. best jugak kan.. different place, different celebrations.. but next year i'll make sure it's going to be kelantan :))

hmm, that was a few days ago punye story.. now.. i'm not that happy anymore.. apart from the daily work pressure.. which is getting heavier by the minute.. with my big boss checking on every progress.. with all the stuffs i've gotta do.. then suddenly my mum called me up yesterday and dropped the bomb.. but the bomb can't be explained here for some reason or another.. it's just that it's starting to take a toll on me.. my oh my oh my oh my..

whatever it is, life goes on.. try to make the best out of it.. and after all - my sister always say..

"enlightment is acceptance of how things are."

10 eggs & 450g of chocolate later...

2005-09-19T10:25:00.000+08:00

Pening
And I only ate one slice!

Wickedly decadent..sigh....

Anyway, today was one very the penat day but well worth it coz safa' was so happy.Started off at 8.30am, mrs-for-once-rajin a.k.a moi, baked a cake.Then waited for madam kecik to wake up and went to the cake shop to buy cream and chocolate for the truffle filling. She was so excited that we were making a cake for her father she practically jumped out of bed and somehow got it in her head that we'd have a party. Oh boy. Buy balooon ok umi?and and and kadel (candle) and pwesen?fafa help make cake? ok?ok?umiiiii ok?.

Who's birthday is it again?

Finally got back at around 12 and made the mistake of asking what she'd like to eat. PIZZAA yeay! (Think she's gotten sick of rice, we've had it everyday for the past month or so.) So pizza it was.But not before flour became her face powder and dumping all the cheese on her pizza! Then it was balloon blowing,giant-card making,practising happy birthday a thousand times and decorating her room so she can "surprise walid.fafa hide ok?".

10 minutes before Ibrahim was supposed to get home, she went into hiding, konon nak practice la.I left her to clean up the kitchen. Big mistake.Turns out she was quietly finishing her pizza, and I caught her just before she helped herself to the cake, with her fist!

She ran into her room the moment the doorbell rang, and I signalled to Ibrahim she was waiting for him. Belum sempat we get there, she's running out yelling "SURPRISE!SURPRISE!HAHAHAHA".

It took us ages to get her to sleep, the girl was so high on sugar she was giggling all the way to dreamland.

2005-09-16T09:52:00.001+08:00

Hello my babies...

Yeay! I can now announce this to u guys... I've got new job! Alhamdulillah... still in the publishing industry but doing a different direction of magazine. Have u guys ever heard of Vida! Thats where im going beybeh! I've never heard of the mag b4, kak ida pernah dgr, tp she surely doesnt like it! Hahahha.. Shes just not their target audience, me neither. But thats okey, Im fine with it. Just took the appointment letter tadi. Actually last week lagi dah confirm dapat, tp tak dpt appointment letter lagi, so I dont wanna announce yet lah. I got it the same day I post an entry saying tat im desperate... Hahhahaaa.. Alhamdulillah...

Anyway, my new place would be in Hartamas, same row with TrueFitness.. jgn jeles kalau aku slim-melim nanti.. :)) Nolah, takde budget nak join gym :| The company is not as big as here, they only produce 1 magazine, its a shoplots building, no place for me to pray and also for me to nyet-nyet. Sound turn off, rite? Well to counter all that, bigger company doesnt always mean better. (ayat nak sedapkan hati) Dalam office mmg takde surau, tp dekat uncle don tu ada, so kena walk on the moon la nak semayang. Yang part nyet2 tu, aku pun tak tau mcm mana aku nak selesaikan... maybe its time for Soymil kot. Hehehehe..

I'll be starting there on 5th October, which is also the first of Ramadhan... So guys, wish me luck and better future, ok? Pray for me so I can cope with my new job. But I dont know if I can still be online or not... kalau takleh takbestnya, nanti aku ketinggalan! :((

No title

2005-09-15T22:11:00.000+08:00

I think I am crazy for doing what I've done, but yet, not that crazy. Am I crazy? I think I am, sometimes. Sekian terima kasih.

p/s: Please call me chimp from now on. I repeat, it's C-H-I-M-P. Please regard this as a serious matter (not crazy, I am dead serious about it). Thanks again.

2005-09-15T14:20:00.000+08:00

aloha everybody..me so happy.. me got new toy to play with.. finally i got myself the mobile phone i've always dreamt of.. so smalam toying around with it until like 2am in the morning.. and this morning woke up.. sleeeeppppyyy..

anyway, can't wait for this weekend.. nak decor rumah bersama syuk.. maybe catch a movie.. pegi kenduri yat.. everyone else going?

Hungry

2005-09-14T14:37:00.000+08:00

Hello! So happy today. Went for my check up, the baby has turned. So now pala kat bawah dah. Doctors seems happy with everything, so I'm happy as well.

I gained 3 kgs in a month. Doctor ckp byk.. oh no.. hope wont gain much after this. I don't think I'm eating that much. Tadi makan nasik pun tak habis. Maybe it's the ice cream, milk and chocolates kot?

dah lama aku tulis ni.. tapi lapar sgt aku turun beli roti and susu.. malas dah nak tulis, i wanna eat!

Self made syndrome

2005-09-13T16:54:00.000+08:00

I have no regrets whatsoever.. jgn pk lain plak after reading what I wrote down nih and esp dillah.. jgn plak ko sedey ke ape..

I was just browsing thru my frenster… looking at pictures of people around you.. and especially those married people.

Sometimes terpk gak whether have I thoroughly think to have babies straight away or have a proper planning. I know I want it early tp tetibe I am having this stupid thinking about having babies early..
Korg confuse tak ngan ape kene ngan aku nih?

Oke camnih.. I was browsing thru frenster and I stumble upon friends pictures.. married people yang tader anak lagi yang happily gih holiday.. hu ha sane hu ha sini and most importantly how good they look.. and to compare with me skang.. I am far cry from my desired look, body, shape and all… hah! Giler tak aku nih!

Gile gileee.. I am going crazy! Apsal laa aku complain camnih.. I think I am getting chimp’s sadness over nothing symptoms.. sorri chimp.. gune nama ko lak.. or was it dillah?

Apsal aku pk camnih aa? I am now blessed with a very cute daughter and adoring husband and I have this stupid thinking inside my head..

Shusshhh shusshhh go awayyy stupid thinking..

Oh well…

My conclusion : not only preggie woman ader sindrom yg sedey tak kene time.. org yg pelik cam aku pun ader nih

2005-09-13T13:06:00.000+08:00

Wah nice to see everybody's blogging again.. especially cik inawarni..heheh

Been a lazy bum (so what else is new) the whole of last week. What have i been doing? nothing except masak masak masak.. MIL has been in kl for the past 2 months and so i've inherited the cooking duties, which i don't mind- really, except that i dislike cooking malay food la (tau makan je). I loathe it. Leceh. Ask me to make pizza from scratch and I'll be glad to do it,with a smile somemore . Ask me to cook asam pedas (bukan susah sgt pon) and I'd come up with 101 excuses.

But the thing is my dear dear father in law tak reti makan western,italian, chinese..u get my drift. He doesn't eat cheese,sausages,pasta or any dish with a fancy name- I've since renamed szechuan chicken to ayam masak chili kering LOL . So I've had to dig out all the malay cookbooks, blow off all the dust, roll up my sleeves and dive right to into it (figuratively la kan).

I'm glad to report that I've somewhat succeeded (measured by how many times tambah nasi) , it wasn't all that bad I guess but still, whipping up a lasagna is soo much more satisfying.

Good thing today I've been relieved from my duties, dearest husband kesiankan kot and said he'll buy food. woohoo.

The only thing I want to focus on now is making a truffle cake for ibrahim's birthday... do i have the guts? Takut tak jadi.

But the biggest question is how la to get rid of this penyakit malas?

focused

2005-09-13T08:51:00.000+08:00

morning!
today i'm happy.. i'm focused.. i'm early.. hehehe.. selalu tiap2 hari kelam kabut.. datang keje lambat.. keje banyak..
today is different. i arrived at work a couple of minutes before 8.30am, i know what i've gotta do next which is to prepare a presentation slides for the training that i'm going to conduct in a two-weeks time. after which, i've got a meeting to attend in menara at 2.30pm.
not every day is as good as today.
i hope tomorrow will be good to me. because tomorrow is my last day in this week that i'll be in the office. thursday & friday i'll be in kelana jaya for user acceptance testing, after which i'll go shopping for my frames in ikea. frames to hang my wedding pictures. hehehe.. orang lain sebok citer pasal baby, aku baru nak gantung gambar kawin :P tapi aku seronok aa sebab korang (except chimp) sume da ade more experience than myself. so i can look up to u guys forever & always.. hehehe..
i feel good tenenenenenene.. i know that i should.
and good luck to my beloved hubby. hari ni die exam untuk naik grade. may the force be with you hahahahha..

ABC..air batu campoq

2005-09-12T13:16:00.000+08:00

I'm not working today.. not even last friday. So i've been 'cuti-cuti Malaysia' for 4 days now. Sungguh pemalas kan? Oh well what's new... i have difficulty sleeping, my muscle aches, i have cramps.. n today i feel sad. Chimp's entry..but what is so sad bout it pun tatau.

Why a? pregnant women mmg cam ni ke? There was this one night, my hubby and I.. we were watching tv and he started asking me what's wrong.. aku pun pelik.. apekemendanye wrong? aku ok je... rupa2nya sbb aku senyap. Kalau tak, kerja aku membebel je. Sampai die pun tak larat nak layan. 2.. 3 hari jugak la pas tu aku cam down sikit. But for no reason at all, And if he had not pointed it out.. I wouldn't even notice it kot..

OK whatever... Moving on to other things, I've started my antenatal class. And no Eee, there aren't any celebrities in my class. Meeting other husbands in the class made me raelize how wonderful mine is. I can't believe that those guys hardly talk to their babies, or touch their wives tummies. One guy tu mmg lansung tak pernah ckp or sentuh ok! And he had this disgusted face when he was asked about it, like it is such a horrible thing to do.

My confinement room is almost ready... yeay! We got the furniture from Ikea. So it was a real fun putting them together. And today we are going to get the cot. Hehehhe cot ni, panjang ceritanya.. we bought the cot from Planete Enfants, mmg kiteorg perasan best la cot ni(kalau nak tau betul2 best ke tak...tanye inawarni) Tapi slek tade color putih je. Nway, when we went there the color that we wanted tinggal satu je- the display unit. So we got 20% discount for it (kalau tak 10% je) But it turned out, when they took it apart to send to us, there was a crack in it and they had to order a new one(kire bukan sale nye stock la). So now we're getting a brand new cot but at extra discount! hehehehe.

Uh banyaknye aku dah bebel.. I'll save some for later lah. Bye bye tingkotai!

ps- Iffah, aku mimpi aku jln2 kat pantai yg cantik, must be ur Pangkor Laut stories..sigh...melepas..

What do I want?

2005-09-11T04:23:00.000+08:00

Seriously, I don't know what to update. I am tired of this. I'm currently facing with my life crisis, ceyy, macam aku ni middle aged je kan. But yeah, true aku tengah amat runsing. Since forever aku macam ni kan, this is what you get when you don't know where to limit your thinking boundary. It's gonna get more complicated the deeper you dig into. Moralnya disini, lead a simple life, tayah fikir, impromptu cukup. Boleh?!

I don't want to pollute this blog with my whiny thoughts but I want to update on something and this is the only thing that's on my mind currently. Kang tak update korang marah. So let me think of other stuff that's happened recently.

Oh yeah, aku kena kacau ngn 2 minah mabuk kat bus stop. She was repeatedly saying she lives alone in the O***** Garden, and she has no one to party with except for this girl (pointing at her friend). And repeatedly asking where do I live, what do I do here in the UK. She was swaying and I was like takleh ke ko duduk diam2 tayah la berdiri. Diorang mabuk tahap ada nenek tua ni lalu pon diorang kacau, not kacau in the bad way la, but something like "Hi! How're you tonight?" bla bla bla..

Kalau dia kacau guys tuh, I can understand la. But girls? Nenek?!! Over friendly punya drunk. And the other girl yang tak mabuk sangat tu actually asked me whether I lived in the States before or not sebab I have the American twang, she said. Muahahahaha.. Wah! Berbunge hati aku sekejap, do I speak that fluently? I mean I spoke fluent English but I did not fake American accent, most of time I tried to fake Brit's but to no avail. Still, to me it was a compliment boleh dwell with the locals in the States la ini macam wah! But then again harus ingat, they were drunk! Damn!

Yang boleh jadi sembang tu sebab her friend appologized if their conversation wasn't quite appropriate didengar oleh kami (me and a friend). And they are studying nursing and will eventually become real nurses in the hospital nanti. Scary isn't it? Tetibe dia amik air kecing patient lain ke tertukar ngn medicine kita, haishh, probably diorang professional kot, party time party, kerja time kerja.. Let's hope so.

Masih sempat kena kacau ngn orang mabuk walaupun jiwa aku amat kacau skang nih. Well at least it amused me, happy sekejap..

extremely nuts!

2005-09-09T18:36:00.000+08:00

aloha.. how are you people? doing ok? i'm doing crazy at the moment. with tons of work to be done, back-to-back meetings.. not to mention full blast user acceptance testing for four consecutive weeks starting from next week.. and the ever so popular marketing plans for year 2006.

life is so hectic. by the time i get back, i'm always too tired to even do anything. so i'm really looking forward to weekends. weekends. and weekends. but weekends are too short, aren't they? takde orang ke nak propose weekdays tukar jadik weekends and vice versa? uhhh, i'm starting to talk crap. weekends also dah fully booked. with weddings. with balik kampung. with odds & ends. oh, i miss u pangkor laut.

so, sebelum aku melalut lebih jauh, baik la aku berenti kat sini. dan sambung keje aku. ak'ah, keje aku tak siap lagi. and it's already 6.45pm. got to rush ppl. byebye!

2005-09-06T10:33:00.001+08:00

2005-09-05T16:50:00.000+08:00

Hello my babies...

Heheheheee... Yeay! hari tu balik kg, Kelate! Best, best! Lama gile tak balik, last skali masa raya haji, Emma's akikah. Tp mama papa KB selalu mai KL maaa... so takde distance sgt between us. Huhuhuu! Klaka gile, punyalah banyak barang kitorang, penuh boot! Yg best tu, rasanya half the boot are Emma's stuffs. Siap bawak balik toys box and highchair dia lagik! Car seat lagik, tp stroller tak bawak la, kalau bawak semua barang lain kene dok atas bumbung! Hehehehee..

Emma have been a good girl tapi lasak jugak anak aku nie. Slowly we all can see that she's developing her own characteristic. She's not easily a cry baby, except when she's sleepy. Other then that kalau die jatuh ke, org buat die ke, or somebody took something thats hers, she dont cry. Berapa kali terantuk, jari tersepit or kitorang usik die, die relek jer. And then, dah nampak dah kenotian Edmadina nie... kalau org tgh main, die main rampas jer apa org tuh pegang. Dia suka join org tgh main. Kitorang panggil Emma penyebuk. Hhehehehe. Pastu suka panjat2. Aduh, entah mcm mana lah nanti Emma leh jalan, cannot imagine...

That black handbag

2005-08-30T15:01:00.000+08:00

Im not sure if I can be categorize as someone who loves collecting handbags.. I dunt think the label “ handbag fetish” suits me.. but I can never not look into shops for a quick peek eventhough I have to rush back to the office. I only have less than an hour to quickly find ayil’s pressies and maybe for a quick bite. But regardless of the limited time, that didn’t stop me from entering 3 shops along the way.. alaa 3 kedai je u might say.. but knowing perempuan, they have to hold the bag, put under their arms, swing it around and look and stare to the mirror.. but in the end, even after frequent visits to a number of shops, be it in ou or midvalley I somehow know I wont fall in love with any of the bags..

The bags I like is always some other people bag! Black handbag.. I need blackkkk handbag.. not brown or orange or cream.. Whenever I saw someone with their bag under their arms, that’s the type I want! Hobo bags, the long ones, the big ones, the square ones.. each and every type that I like belongs to other people..
My frequent trips to shops doesn’t even help me, let alone soothe my needs for a black handbag.. im going bonkers!

The newest handbag that I posses right now is a big padini suede handbag that I asked ayil to buy for the anniversary present. Not that I really adores it but at that point of time.. I tot I fell in love with it.. and I told ayil, I need that bag to put marisa’s mittens or socks or her topi.. sighhh I always end up buying things that I dunt see it necessary.

I have also make a conclusion – those black handbags that I like is always the labels that I can’t afford.. and for now I like the plain black prada bag that my lady boss carry. So how now brown cow?

How much does prada cost? I know PS boutique offers a lot of handbags.. but than again do I want to get an imitation? How much must I collect aa? Bape thn keje then baru bole afford aa? How come ppl now so rich now they can afford to buy one aa? Or maybe that is also from PS boutique =))

Oh welll….
BTW, sorry for not actively participating lately..
And sorryy sgt for not able to join the potluck thingy..
Maybe ill wait for koala to come home..
And oh koala.. happy birthday the second!

It's so quiet, it's eerie.

Got back from KL on friday night, managed to drag the whole shahab clan (okla not whole, just the 3 boys and parents) to singapore coz I wasn't up to going back alone. I know, i know- spoilt, but hey bukan selalu my family comes over.
They stayed for 2 nights and now safa' is walking around the apartment like a zombie asking where everybody is. Sigh.Why la must we live so far?

On a happier note, we're expecting certain european guests over in November. InsyaAllah.Please la jadi this time, wanna squeeze-kiss-hug those 2 kids so badly.Heh.

Dilah don't go hosting any potluck party without me hehe.Thanks iffah for allowing us to invade your house and fill up our tummies ;) ....and sorryla emma, ur mother kannn, suka sgt sakat la..that's why la safa' tanak geng.

I so badly need sleep. Have to ban myself from consuming anything with caffeine.Seriously.Never learn my lesson.But to bed I must go, the dear daughter of mine will be smothering this face with kisses in approximately 5 hours.oh oh.

ohhh..one more thing..Happy Birthday Chimp!!...

bz bz 2.0

2005-08-26T13:46:00.000+08:00

hi..

busy!!! nothing interesting, but to keep the blog alive aku nak bebel lah. Sekarang aku busy dgn this package for land line customers. Gile punya besar target audience- 2.2 mil, dlm masa 2 minggu nak buat sume menda! suketi je.. mcm business jual belacan kat pasar malam je punye planning (maksudnye tade proper planning la kalau korang tak pick up)

Hari ni sepagi aku cari org yg boleh baca tamil, punya la payah. Ramai rupanye indians tak boleh baca or write tamil. Pening pala. I guess same goes for Chinese that can't read/write mandarin. As for Malays.. jawi la kan.. aku pun tak reti sgt tulis jawi.. hehehe.

It is really frustrating when we push the ad agency and they work all day and nite to meet the deadline but when they come to present their proposal, our ppl are not around to approve it. So stupid, why you have to ask the agency to come back so early when you won't even be in the office? Bengong la. Tapi sbb aku kuli cabuk je.. aku ikut je la kan.

Sigh.. this new job is really fun and exciting but at the same time very frustrating and exasperating la having to deal and put up with the silliness of the management yg gaji besar tapi makes you wonder.. depa ni pi sekolah tak? Maybe from their experience they have some insight for their crazy decisions and business strategy that a kuli cabuk like me couldn't even comprehand. And maybe thats why our competitor who has like 4k of workforce is making more money than us.. all 20 odd thousand of us.....

bz bz

direction to iffah's place

2005-08-17T18:37:00.000+08:00

nasib baik aisy tanye mcm mane nak gi umah aku.. aku dengan seronoknye mengassume sumerang tau rumah aku kat mane.. hahaha.. korang sume tak penah datang rumah aku kan.. nak lukis map, mmg tak sempat.. busy gile ngan keje.. so aku cite direction je lah..

from damansara (for eee, aisy, zana) please use lebuhraya damansara puchong (ldp) mcm korang nak gi cyberjaya.. lepas tol bandar bukit puchong, look out for signboard serdang-seri kembangan.. follow the signboard direction, which is susur ke kiri, naik atas flyover and at traffic light, belok kiri.. lebih kurang 300 meter dari traffic light, look out for signboard lestari puchong, masuk that simpang kiri and jalan straight sampai jumpe T-junction.. (lebih kurang 2km dari simpang masuk). take the right turning, and then the first left turning (korang mmg takleh gi straight sebab ade blockage). go straight, take the first right turning and jalan straight sampai T-junction. take the left turning, and jalan straight je sampai jumpe rumah no. 34 on your left. my house is along that road, facing the playground.. look out for red wira and yellow kelisa. rumah aku sebelah rumah yang cantik (rumah aku tak cantik ok). tanah depan rumah aku gondol.

from rumah dilah, u can either take LDP jugak atau u can take sungai besi highway and masuk jalan belakang macam nak gi pasar borong selangor.. whichever way, will reach my house :D

hehehehe.. i hope the direction is clear enuff.. kalau tak jumpe, just give me a call.

U make me sick!

2005-08-15T16:08:00.000+08:00

What a weekend! I've been suffering from sinus infection that lead to a mild fever- because of the haze. I hate u jerebu!

The weekend was so hectic. My brother in law got engaged.. aiyoh what an affair..le grande punye. Dok buat kerja dari midday Saturday until early hours of Sunday.. my back ache sooooo much, my sinus infection got really bad. Had to go to that stupid klinik Izham- the only one yg 24 hrs.. well klinik tu tak stupid(Shalina mesti marah ni kalau die baca) actually ade satu je lady doc yg aku benci gile.. and guess what? Dia yg on duty malam tu.. ape la nasib. Whatever it is can't do much since I can't take my sinus medication sbb pregnant ni. Cuak dah ni.. siang nak pi kenduri tunang.. kalau demam camna? So dah penat gile tu balik rumah.. I had to rendam my feet in hot water.. and did a session of steaming using menthol crystals.

So I managed to survive the whole of sunday .... but today dah sakit balik! And my baby is sooo active.. kicking and punching and doing somesaults and stretching.. punch dah la style boxing tu. Or is it because my lunch was so pedas? Any of you pernah makan pedas and baby tiba2 hyper?

A Letter to the Culture that Raised Me

2005-08-13T13:37:00.000+08:00

A Letter to the Culture that Raised Me
by Yasmin Mogahed Monday June 20 2005)

"With my veil I put my faith on display - rather than my beauty. My value as a human is defined by my relationship with God, not by my looks. So I cover the irrelevant. And when you look at me, you don’t see a body. You view me only for what I am: a servant of my Creator."

Growing up, you read me the Ugly Duckling. And for years I believed that was me. I am a woman - that ugly duckling among men. For so long you taught me I was nothing more than a bad copy of the standard.

I couldn’t run as fast or lift as much. I didn’t make the same money and I cried too often. I grew up in a man’s world where I didn’t belong.And when I couldn’t be him, I wanted only to please him. I put on your make-up and wore your short skirts. I gave my life, my body, my dignity, for the cause of being pretty. I knew that no matter what I did, I was worthy only to the degree that I could please and be beautiful for my master. And so I spent my life on the cover of Cosmo and gave my body for you to sell.

I was a slave, but you taught me I was free. I was your object, but you swore it was success. You taught me that my purpose in life was to be on display, to attract, and be beautiful for men. You had me believe that my body was created to market your cars. And you raised me to think I was an ugly duckling. But you lied. Islam tells me, I’m a swan. I’m different - it’s meant to be that way. And my body, my soul, was created for something more.

God says in the Quran: ‘O mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another (not that you may despise each other). Verily, the most honoured of you in the sight of God is the one who is most righteous” (Quran 49:13).

So I am honoured. But it is not by my relationship to men. My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me. My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life - despite what the fashion magazines say - is something more sublime than just looking good for men.

And so God tells me to cover myself, to hide my beauty and to tell the world that I’m not here to please men with my body; I’m here to pleaseGod. God elevates the dignity of a woman’s body by commanding that it be respected and covered, shown only to the deserving - only to the man I marry.

So to those who wish to ‘liberate’ me, I have only one thing to say:Thanks, but no thanks.I’m not here to be on display. And my body is not for public consumption. I will not be reduced to an object, or a pair of legs to sell shoes. I’m a soul, a mind, a servant of God. My worth is defined by the beauty of my soul, my heart, my moral character. So, I won’t worship your beauty standards, and I don’t submit to your fashion sense. My submission is to something higher. With my veil I put my faith on display - rather than my beauty. My value as a human is defined by my relationship with God, not by my looks. So I cover the irrelevant. And when you look at me, you don’t see a body. You view me only for what I am: a servant of my Creator.

So you see, as a Muslim woman, I’ve been liberated from a silent kind of bondage. I don’t answer to the slaves of God on earth. I answer to their King.

Hinanya keje ari Sabtu

2005-08-13T09:47:00.000+08:00

tsk tsk.. i am still working on Saturday..
ape boss nih pk pun tatau.. who do we work for? govt bodies? like not.. private? yess.. tp sume pun cuti skang with the new working hrs.. y do we have to work?? &*^&$%!!!.
his reasons: If u work on Saturday, when u come back to work on Monday, u'll r still fresh... If u dont, ull be a lazy ass.. but from my point of view.. if u work on saturday.. when u come back on MOnday, ull be twice tired then before.. and i am working from 830-530.. xtra hrs.. i feel im turning into a donkey!

heylo ladiess.. sibbaik ader iffah penyelamat blogger.. i really thot korg akan tutup blog nih.. sorry for not participating lately.. a few things got out of my hands lately…

2 week back, ayil tetibe jek sakit perut.. and he said sakit perut just like last yr.. last yr right after ayil nyer side wedding function he was admitted to sjmc..doctors had to give him 3 shots of painkillers just to keep him still! also at that time he did a lot of check up.. endoscopy, scans, xrays and his doctors cant detect whats wrong with him.. of coz time tuh dah pk lain.. ye laa mane taknyer.. dah ler baru kawin, dok umah dier pun br one nite.. tuh pun tak consider one nite.. only a couple of hrs.. and i was scared stiff.. ader org "buat" ayil ke.. oh well time tuh pk, kiteorg nih bukan baik sgt, sure nih adre kene cucuk nih.. that was pemikiran org kg kejap laa..

and so last yr, for my wedding pressies from ayil, i stayed and took care of him in the cold hospital room.. that was last yr.. and precisely a year later (wednesday), he complained of the same pain.. i was actually sick (mc sbb deman nih..btul tak tipu zana! :P) but becoz he was in a lot of pain, we had to rush to sjmc again.. from 3 -9pm we stayed in the emergency room, and still doctors couldnt detect what was wrong.. gile ke ape.. and again my pemikiran melayu attack once again..

a few days b4 (sunday, monday, tuesday ) he complained of sakit perut, i actually persuade him to go jumpe ustaz.. baca2 and stuff..mane lah tau.. tp bile dier dah sakit camtuh.. camne nak jumpe ustaz.. lagi laa pk bukan2.. so after that 1st checkup, we went home.. i had to leave marisa the whole day and ofcoz lepas balik had to feed her plak.. i was soo drained out..

so the next day (thursday), i went back to office after days mc.. ayil was still at home when i left for office.. and i didnt know he was still in a lot of pain until i came home for lunch.. again we rush back to sjmc and i have to leave him there.. takkan nak amik cuti lagi kottt... br jek masuk keje balik tsk tsk... so i called his sister n tapai, ask to wait for him.. from 2-7pm, the emergency doctor still doesnt know what went wrong.. everything look fine.. but he was still in pain, so they decide that he has to be admitted. after his xray, the doc says, nih kes appendix, tp tuh pun tak 100% sure.. and we still have to wait for the surgeon doctor to come.. so from office, i rushed back home, feed marisa, went back to apartment, took some of his clothes amd rush back to the hospital and stayed on until 1145.. at around 1030, the doctor came and confirmed...

it was only appendix!!

Appendix manede function sgt dlm perut .. tp mak ai.. sakit dier punye laa melampau.. sampai doc kate yg last yr sakit pun maybe sbb appendix but becoz he took 3 shots of painkiller, the pain subsides and kecutkan appendix tuh… hmmphhhh

Continue citer.. anyway I didn’t wait for him for his operation,.. his parents did.. and coincidentally that same nite parents dier just landed from new zealand.. and so their first nite was in the hospital.. phewwww So that was it.. now ayil is resting at my mamas n papas and enjoying every moment of it..

So that was it.. nothing interesting..

p/s- i hope korg paham laa.. after reading it twice back, trase cam so berpusing2 .. byk sgt flashback :D

Durio Zibethinus

2005-08-13T08:40:00.000+08:00

No guys it's not a character from Hary Potter, it's Durian!

'A durian falling on a person's head can cause serious injuries or death due to the fact that it is heavy, spiky, and may fall from high up, so a hardhat is essential when collecting the fruit. Because of this, the durian is sometimes called the most dangerous fruit in the world.'

I was surfing and came across this fact about the durians. I think a mat salleh wrote it. I never see my father or my uncles wearing hardhats when collecting the fruit.

Anyway the story is morning glories, I bought 3 packs of durians (beli kat giant je ehheehe) and stored it in the fridge lah- obviously. And now everything in the fridge taste of durian. Aiyo! Thus has happened before, me not that blur lah kan.. so I already double wrap the durians and stored it in a different compartment totally covered punye. Best of all the butter now taste like some kinda durian paste. So tayah makan roti dgn kuah durian mkn je roti dgn butter sama je rasa.. So powerful is the king of fruits...

Lastly...

'Some Westerners have described the experience of eating the durian as "like eating custard in a public lavatory".

cabaran chimp!

2005-08-12T17:18:00.000+08:00

hello!

i'm back again.. hahaha.. chimp kate aku tulis tak cukup panjang.. so let me blabber again sampai puas hati :D
hari ni peaceful.. datang lambat kul 10am.. buat keje skit.. then i have the rest of the day all to myself.. so busy selecting wedding pic to enlarge.. nak gantung kat rumah.. i've got a list of things to do.. will do it one at a time, among which:

1) have my own garden in my small courtyard (biggest project!)
2) hang my wedding pics around the house
3) go to my favourite store, ikea (i haven't gone to ikea for ages already!)
4) buat potluck party for my beloved frens :D
5) have a family picnic (been postponing since july)
6) lots more!

lately i've been feeling very de-motivated.. malas nak gi keje, but then come to think about it, i've got the spot a lot of ppl would like to have, so tak boleh malas2.. have to keep on motivating myself.. be happy, if u don't make urself happy, no one else will.. so untuk merajinkan diri pegi keje, aku beli bekas air baru.. tupperware yang sungguh tiut miut haha.. simple pleasure.

btw, the tupperware also encouraged me to drink a lot of plain water, which i am really not accustomed to.. but with the jerebu phenomenon mmg kene minum banyak air even if that means visiting toilet every half an hour or so..

malam ni nak gi tengok malaysian idol.. vote for nita & farah! walaupun aku sebenarnye tak penah vote sape2 hahaha.. cuma support malaysian idol sebab tm net yang sponsor :D boleh?

honey i'm home!

2005-08-12T14:41:00.000+08:00

hello everybody, monchies is back :D thanks to chimp & smitten for inviting me back.. sorry i have become such an IT dummy since i left mmu..

however, i've been reading all entries daily without fail, and warggghh, how i have restrained the urge to also blog simply because suddenly i've forgotten how to create entry. silly me!

moving on, banyak bende nak citer, tapi da lupe ape bende nak citer pasal excited dapat create entry.. hehehe.. yesterday, me & eee were talking about having a potluck party at my place somewhere in september (2nd week september). but i haven't got a chance to tell syuk about it, so i can't really confirm it yet. but, how does it sound? can u guys make it? tentative date: saturday, 10/9/05.

tadi nak comment pasal the trust issue but tak sempat, so i'll just comment kat sini.. i also can't imagine if i were to be in the girl's position.. so much reminded me of old time mase aku tengah berelationship dengan mamat poyo perasan playboy but i gave in to all his unfaithfulness. tapi tu dulu zaman cinta monyet.. kalau jadik in a marriage, the impact is so much more. i just can't imagine.. na'uzubillah..

today, i received an email from a good friend - 10 reasons why relationship fails.. i'll just gonna share a couple of tips, which i found very true indeed:

1) You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married
The classic mistake. Never marry potential. The golden rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it, "You actually can ect people to change after their married... for the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure you can live with these as they are now.
(this is so so so so so definitely true.. don't ever marry potential!)

2) You pick the wrong person because you focus more on chemistry than on character
Chemistry ignites the fire, but good character keeps it burning. Beware of the "I'm in love" syndrome. "I'm in love" often means, "I'm in lust." Attraction is there, but have you carefully checked out this person's character?
(this is also super-duper true.. i was almost tricked to pick otherwise but now i'm glad i didn't :D)

so mentang2 sebulan tak dapat blog, bile dapat blog, tak reti nak benti.. hehehe.. so i'll stop for now, will keep on updating later.. byebye girls!

Move it! Move it! Move it!

2005-08-12T11:46:00.000+08:00

Hello.. I'm busy moving office nowadays. Not that I have much to bring since I'm leaving most of the files and docs behind for my old unit. Or so I thought! Sekali tu locker besi besaar gajah kat tpt baru ni rosak and tade kunci. So now I have to take my old locker (kat 19 Floor up to 22 Floor-my new office)...

Boringnye post aku ni(paragraph kat ats tu aku tulis dah bape jam yg lepas).. sebenarnye byk nak ckp.. tapi hari ni aku sedih.. queen of sorrow..Sade

Btw Iffah, maybe zana delete post die due to sensitivity issue ke ape.. sbb tu dah ilang.. Zana care to clarify?

Tak jadi

Whateber it is sayaaaaaaaaaanng sgt kat Emma ( ngan abah die skali le ).

HELP me! Help me find new job! Tau tak kat opis nie dah ramai sgt org resign, sooner my Jr. AD pun nak resign. Die tgh ligat cari new job. Pergi interview kat catcha dah. How I wish I could work there. I've send my resume together with her, but unlucky for me, tak kene panggil interview pun. D**N! Takpelah, tgh saba menunggu rezeki. :) If u guys wanna know, this office dah like so teruk! 3 staffs resign in the very same day tau! In a month, total 6 staffs kasik resignation latter. PC.com editor dah 3 months no replacement. (Ya Allah tolonglah takde org opis aku baca blog nie) Dah la yg previous one tu takde experience. Mmg kelam kabut gile.

Sedih

2005-08-09T10:58:00.000+08:00

Hai... so sad.. nobody wants to write here anymore ye? Chimp what say you? Wanna keep this blog going or not?

Toodles...

2005-08-08T14:52:00.000+08:00

Hello ppl.
I forgot what i typed last nite so nvm, and anyway dah basi. I had a fun week shopping,spending time with my dear cousins from sweden and ofcourse ending the week with a no-kids belly dancing party.Never laughed so much in my life.The girls were a hoot. The food was great. Don't invite 12 arab 20sthing girls with free flowing food and great music.We won't leave.Asking for trouble I tell u.

So anyway, i totally agree with Chimp, I had those same thoughts too..cam this thing aint gonna work but it won't hurt to try pe. I set it up so we could keep in touch, which was kinda dumb coz everybody else probably meets up except me and maybe chimp. And anyway if ur not comfortable posting here then its pointless, no?
So what I'm getting at is I'm gonna go on a hiatus..my wrist isn't getting any better (tendonitis), my chiropractor said ease up on using the comp for a couple of weeks atleast. So I am. Have a couple of non-computer projects coming my way, and am really excited. Be back in 2 weeks, if this blog thingy is still up la..if not..oh well..i tried. Don't get me wrong I still wanna keep in touch..esp. dilah n chimp wanna know how things are going ok.. and wanna see the little ones when I go to KL..maybe middle of august. take care.bye y'all. for now.

Can't help it la..nak post more pics gak.Taken using a borrowed camera.

2005-08-08T12:49:00.000+08:00

oops i think i 'terdeleted' the last post. i could have sworn i clicked on view.shoot.

C'mon what's this?

2005-08-04T23:54:00.000+08:00

The second Smitten proposed kita buat blog ni, I knew it. I knew that either:

1. There'll be only a couple of people updating their entries.

or

2. Everybody will post like mad the first few weeks then pufff! Gone.. Kira one hit wonder la ni.

Why?

The main reason is merely because you guys are busy. Another reason that I could think of is that you guys are 'malas'? I even doubt that we are MMU's produce, we are so not attached to the Tech's side, i.e. Internet, blogging and all.

I mean, yeah, almost all of you are depending on the internet access at work. And that makes it even harder for you guys to read entries coming from the rest of us yang 'rajin', let alone creating a new entry. And I can sometimes understand that.

Sleepy, tired,exhausted,lethargic - malas nak buat keje sbenarnye.

Went to a logictics company here for a freelance job and came back wondering why the heck does a nasdaq-listed-multi-million-dollar-company use powerbengongpoint for its presentation (more like website with some 20 odd links and drop down menus ?!?) No offence to all powerpoint users but if you have such a big site so many links and texts you're kinda defeating the purpose of a get-right-to-the-point presentation,kan?

Ok so it's been gazillion years since I've used powerpoint but ade ke drop down menu? I went thru tons of tutorial sites but nada. I know that we can embed flash and all but mostly just for animation and interface stuff, not navigation-the whole thing goes bonkers. Somebody please enlighten me. Submission wednesday morning... I'd pass this up but the money's too good.. USD somemore..

On the homefront, me legs pulak are killing me.. yesterday we bought bicycles and me being such a genius thought it'll be great for us to cycle for 2 hours (in the hot unforgiving sun)by the beach. Thought I was in pretty good shape when I felt great after that- until this morning that is. Makdatuk.. felt like a friggin' robot..tin legs and all. Good workout my a**. On top of that my face is black..ok ok not that bad.. somewhere in between dark brown and black. Safa' ? The lucky girl has this healthy tan cum overall glow going on (not being biased la..it's true LOL).

Next time I'll slather twice the amount sunscreen.And stretch.And take things s l o w l y.

:) busy shopping lately... well window shopping lagi byk la..

Sigh there's so much things to buy, I need to furnish the new room. Went to Ikea yesterday, after I total up everything... >3k la the stuff that I want (note, I wrote want, not need). Ikea konon sale tapi hampeh. Used to have a friend working there, but he quit. Kalau tak at least can get the 15% staff discount :(

Then baby stuff lagi nak beli. We are hoping, planning.. conniving.. hehe.. to get everybody else to buy the expensive stuff. The stroller, car seat, cot, baby monitor, sterelizer cum bottle warmer cum food steamer...

I bought this cute outfit. A bodysuit ade kepala bear besaq kat part pungkok baby tu. The bear's ears sticks out, boleh flip2! comel sgt! tapi tu for baju boy la. Lantak pi la kalau girl pun.. aku kasik pakai gak.

I really want to post a picture of my hush puppies that was 'attacked' by the next door cat. Nanti la wait for my bro in law to return our camera ok zana?

Hello ppl,
Sorryla been such a bum in updating... busy busy busy.
First of all my chiropractor ban me from using the computer until I got my wristguard (which I've got now), then my uncle from sweden came and them my mom and sister .. so no time la nak online. I got 135 unopened emails sitting in my inbox and I really can't be bothered to even start reading them let alone replying. And on top of that Safa' has been an absolute sweet angel that I feel like spending every single minute with her just so i can see her smile and laugh.I'm really really hoping this isn't some phase.

So what's everybody else up to? Chimp.. glad ur ok.London seems like one scary place right now. Iffah dah balik honeymoon ke blum pegi? Yat, aisyah , inawarni - how r the little ones doing? Tunggu la next month maybe aku dtg leh kluar ramai2 although safa' is stroller-less. hehe. Dilah hope everything's going fine.. sure tgh busy shopping eh?.

Photos ppl.. i wanna see photos.

Summer here sucks siot. At least for this year lah. Very the hot, my nose bleed everyday, isk! Luckily it's already near August, so I only have to bear with this for a few weeks more. Please, please, please sejuk cepat sikit. It is getting better anyway.

Sorry haven't updated (if you guys are even keen to read mine), I was reading all of you happy mothers punya entries and was quite intimidated to update anything because I don't have any child, heck I'm not even married! Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to read your stories on married life, I found them very fun to read so please keep them coming yah. In hope I'd be a perfect mother one day with all the knowledge you guys spare me. =)

And I was busy jugak la. I moved. Yes, house. Also something happened, siap police datang but I wasn't in that house lah at that time. Drama swasta la jugak.

Now, I can breathe skit, tak busy sgt.

About the title? That's nothing, I just bought a bag of banana in the market today and didn't know what to put as my entry title so voila! Gonna cook tomyam today, yummy!

HOTNYA!

Hi, need some advice on stollers. What are the important features that i should look for? As for car seats, should I get the one yang from 3 months to 4 years, or just stick to 0 - 13 months? Like the kid wanna stay in the seat bile die dah besar kan? hmm dunno, what do u guys think?

I kinda like peg perego travel system, comes together with car seat. It's very light. However Mclaren is more solid and durable. Read the reviews, but still cant make up my mind. The thing is theres not much choice pun in this country... mrs vixen, you bought yang 3-wheeled ek? tak bulky ke, I kinda ruled that out since I think its bulky. What model did u get?
