The day that I made CupPiEs

Yeehaaa...to my dear friend, Dd, you're my inspiration. Hehe at last setelah sekian lama barang + bahan kek aku terperuk dlm cabinet, akhirnya aku gagahkan diri untuk menggodek and made my very 1st cuppies when the clock is ticking past midnight.

I cheated on the cake part, I use the ready-mix, local brand Nona, instead of my regular Devil's Choc. So we just need some water, butter and eggs. The mix turned out to be a bit watery and me just decided to pop it into my loyal Pensonic oven and see what's the outcome. It came out perfect and moist.

Fresh from the oven

While for the frosting, I took a recipe from Wilton's site and the result was not to my liking. Super sweet but it got the body, maintain jek. I'll get a new recipe that use less sugar. Dd...any frosting tips ?

The kids hopped in and can't get enuff of the topping/icing. I let them decorate their own cup. We love every moment of it except the post-baking cleaning. So here we go...

My lil' kitchen helpers

Now you can feast your eyes on my super sweet moist cuppies. Made in Gombak. This batch we decided to play with only 1 color that is pink. Adan was asking for blue and green since I have it in stock but maybe next time.

These are...

my very 1st...

cuppies...

and I'm...

PrOuD of myself

Congratulations Sis, Malacca here I come...

I was so busy since Monday, not because of the office task (I'm handling 3-persons job). But doing all online stuffs meant for student. PTPTN, UITM, MUET and what not.

My sister had completed her BBA Dip from Uitm and offered a place in Uitm Melaka due to her choice of program i.e Marketing. I told her to opt for insurance or International business so that she can do it in S.Alam campus and possibility of getting job is easier. I can even recommend her to my HR if the result is excellent. But still...she's the one who is going to do it all, so let her decide for herself. I can only advise and bengkek when she decided not to listen hehehe I've got another idea for her, finish the degree, get the KPLI and jadi cikgu. The pay is not bad and don't forget all those allowances. It was too late for me when I was presented with the $$, but there's still light at the end of the tunnel, instead of Cikgu Roselina, we can have Cikgu Roselini ;)

Put that aside, she did it well despite being 'f r a g i le' all the way. CONGRATULATIONS, I'm PROUD of YOU. We gonna have 2 graduates in the family. Ma and Abah will definitely the proudest.

I pity all those students who have limited access to the net because now almost everything is online. Exam result, offer letter, course registration, forms, bills, applications. FYI, PTPTN no longer accept the manual OMR form, no choice, you have to apply online and the process was so tricky that even me who can be considered tersangatlah celik IT pun having a headache. Tu belum kira time server tgh heavy load.

I can understand the reason why they don't allow applicants to freely type the input, i.e. reduce the error. But I don't understand why they have to click a button and wait for a new window pop-up and sometimes, that little window will have another button which will give birth to another tiny window. Just to have an input as simple as Hubungan : Bapa. Have you ever heard of a drop-down ? I called my fren over there and she confirmed that the server was having its bad day due to last minute applications. Excuse me, I've been trying for 3 days just to finish 1 page. I have to wait 1/2 day for the tiny window to display list of IPTs. Mind you, I'm on broadband.

We'll do it tomorrow from the office though it is Saturday, we'll finish it off and have our favorite nasi lemak bawah jambatan. Canteeeklah. My dial-up bandwitdh just too cute to handle that and our fixed line died on us.

So guys, I'm off to Malacca on 8th July (that's my elder sis's besday) and might be staying there for the night. Bawak Ma and Abah jalan2, I think their last visit when I was in Form 2. That's about 18years..

Post-Vacation

Damages :

RM600 for 2 adults + 2 kids + 1 baby (all in – 3N2D chalet, food, boat, trips )
RM1.5k for 1 heavy gold bracelet !!
RM100++ for petrol
Few hundreds more for the family
Minimum of 7 loads of laundry, the folding part has yet to settle until we need the item again.

We did not spent a single $$ while we were in Redang. The damages were more or less happened at Pasar Payang. Tu pun kami turun berdua je and direct pi regular stall to borong the keropok keping and get some local snacks (dodol and kuih sema). The keropoks were not for us but since my SIL promised some of her friends to get it, so the only option is to load up in our car. She traveled by bus, remember ?

Right after we left the jetty, we stopped by at our favorite keropok lekor station Keropok Sukaramai somewhere in Mengabang Lekor, if you’re coming from KT or airport-borne road (Seberang Takir), this place is further up. Our favorite is actually the fresh made keropok fried without being boiled first. After gentel torus masuk kuali…slurp yummeh..Hanis can finish more than 5 pieces of that 15cm-fish-laden keropok lekor in one sitting. So for 3 of us we need at least RM5 of it, about 25 pieces.

Lesson Learnt and Proven Tips

Travel light even when you have a baby.
Don’t bother to bring nice clothing, swimsuit rules
Bring your baby-carrier along, my sling is the best thing that I brought there
Use wrinkle-free tudung or opt for key/scarf/cap
Don’t wear light color pants with bright color panties
Don’t forget some snacks for the kids, or maggi cawan hehe
Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock (used my face moist@SPF60)
Don’t bring your sister or mom during your visit to goldsmith
Tell the kids that you’ll replace the car with a lorry if they don’t behave
Bring some fast beat CDs if you travel the East Coast Hiway via Jabor/K.Berang

That's it, I'm having a 'heavy' day of my life. Got a post drafted about my recent nighmare but haven't completed the whole thing.

Bubye

Wisana Redang - Day 3

Early to bed, late to rise hehe but not for me, I had 1 morning person in the clan, whoelse...Hannah Montana la...so not a chance to shut my eyes for extra hours.

While waiting for them to wake up, me and baby spend our time singing lullabys and nursery rhymes on the hammock. Before long, she wriggled and wrestled to get down on the ground. Nak main pasir la tu...After breakfast, babah decided to have his Discovery done that day. He got Abg Asang to guide him. The kids need no instruction, they will kecebur into the water whenever they wish. As for me, I had tonnes of wet clothes and things scattered all over the chalet to pack into our tiny bag and backpacks.

Once done, I went to lepak2 at the dive centre while waiting for them to finish with their unsatiable passion with water. I had to drag them out from the water so that we can make it on time for the boat. It's oredi 11am and boat will pick us up around 12noon !!

Boat to mainland was one uncomfortable boat, it was like a mini bus because they picked up a local villagers as well, luckily this one was faster. We reached the jetty after I sweat like boxer. Hannah was one good gurl, she stayed dozed all the way.

Even though we were tired with almost zero energy level, we decided to head to KT to get some keropok before going back to my mom's house. The next morning, I went to my kedai emas to get a bracelet, a gift from hubby. TQ TQ. Normally we leave the house for KL very early in the morning, however we decided to delay the journey to give the kids some extra time with their cousins. We only left after Zohor and stopped to a refuel ourselves at Hentian Temerloh.

Over there, much to Adan's delight, army trucks lining up the parking lot. The trucks even moved in sequence, mcm org berbaris plak.

Until then, I'll share the post-vacation damage as well as some lesson learnt next week. Tomorrow is the start of MegaSale 2007. Hubby hinted that we have got some shopping to do. Anything honey, as long as shopping is concern. hahahahaha

Wisana Redang - Day 2

After breakfast, the brood hit the water while waiting for our snorkeling trip to Marine Park. Pepagi lagi dah dah siap ngan swimsuit. Luckily we got Aciq and Che Nik (my sis), they were my nannies.

x sabar2 to hit the water and sand

We left the beach a bit late to avoid peak hour rush i.e. 9am. Upon reaching the area, umang aiii….gila ramai org. It reminds me of the scene in Titanic when all the bodies floating in a freezing ocean ehehe except that this one wearing colorful jacket, alive and kicking.

On the boat to Marine Park

Abg Asang took the kids one at a time, and taught them how to snorkel, equipped with the goggle and roti to feed the fish. I pulled my courage to put on the snorkeling gear and said my prayer. For those who don’t know : I’m phobia to open water (sea, river, huge longkang, flood) TQ. So, I held onto my SIL’s like never before. She’s a diver, so I put my life in her hand !!! FYI, I had my life-jacket on kakkaka!! I’m sure she’ll laughing at me for panicking after my leg was pulled under the water. I was in the water for less than 10 minutes before I started to feel suffocated and asked her to pull me to the nearest tangga. You can laugh at me too...

Adan had his share of snorkeling with Pakcik Asang

Babah had his historic moment, he snorkled to the famous shipwreck with his sister and halfway thru he abandoned the life-jacket and swam back to the shore. He saw a giant garoupa there and he kept on telling the same story and I have to keep my ears shut !! Just kidding, good for you Yang, I’m proud of my hubby. We went back to Wisana and had our lunch, and the kids refused to stop burning themselves. Let them be lah. Next agenda of the day is Long Beach. I told hubby I surrendered and used Hannah as an excuse. It works everytime. Sorry little one, mommy used you once too often lately.

While waiting for our boat

I love this shot (and the guy..)

Jeng Jeng so this is Abg Asang the owner

While they hopped onto the boat I comfort myself by doing the ‘wifey’ things until I fell asleep with Hannah only to be awoken by hubby to join them again on the beach. X reti penat ke budak2 ni ? But, I’m so proud of Hanis and Adan. How 2 very penakut kids are now very comfortable even with a chest deep water. Some said, it was nothing since the had their jacket on, but for those who knew them well, it was an ACHIEVEMENT.

Both of them doing the showing off

To end the post, I would like to present to you, Miss Hannah Raudah a.k.a Miss Makan Pasir or is it Miss Jiwang Karat, another shot that I think is the best, but it doesn't do justice to the crystal clear water because of the timing (nak Maghrib aoredi). We'll comeback for more shots..

The day ended early for them kids. Haaa..sapa suruh main dari pagi sampai senja. Seriously, they just stopped for lunch, even kuih cik mek molek had to be served on the beach. Both of them can't help but fell asleep on dinner. We (my sis ekceli) sent them to bed. Our dinner was one heavy dinner. They served BBQ, fresh fish and squid as well some chicwings. Since my SIL can access the kitchen she even sent some squid to be 'celup tepung'ed by the cook. Sluuurp. Not only that, we were treated with a breathtaking view of moonlight on the horizon. Psst !! We missed the sunrise this time around.

Wisana Redang - Day 1

Pre-Vacation
We reached our beloved hometown around 9pm++ after countless of scolding, wriggling, crying sessions with the kids. Ada harapan sambar Wish dulu sblm rumah siap ni karang…penat siot travel jauh2 for more than 6hrs naik keter sempit. Especially when you have 3 kids who can’t differentiate a car with a house !! They jumped, the played, they screamed, they punched and kicked as they wish while Babah maneuvered the Spectra at 130Kph. We’d love to travel by plane but thinking of the prospect of traveling all the way to LCCT and not being able to go out while we are in kampung, we decided to drive. My SIL boarded the bus the same night, she will wait for us at the Merang jetty.

Day 1
The next morning, we had some nasik berlauk for breakfast. Aku x sempat makan sbb sebok siapkan budak2 and make sure I didn’t miss any important stuffs like thermos, formula and diapers. We left the house for the jetty around 8am++ . My SIL was there and rushed us to the parking lot, the ferry was ready to take off and we’re the last passenger !! Aiyaa…we have to attend time management course la…

We boarded a ferry because we had Hannah to consider. Our seats were not that comfy and the noise was so unbearable. I can feel my body bergetar2 all the way to the island.

Discovery : They also got a ‘roadblock’ at sea, the maritime patrol team will watch over boat operators who’s breaking the law. In our case, the passengers were not wearing any life jacket. The jackets were available but who wanna put it on when the temperature was like hot sunny day. The sea-patrol traveled in a high-speed boat that resembles a hovercraft. I’m so impressed to the point of staring at them when then climbed onto the ferry. They’re such a polite officer…they smiled said sorry and thanx, that’s a rare attitude for a law enforcer, isn’t it ?

We reached our destination, Wisana Redang in Teluk Kalong Kecil around 11am++, the owner, Abg Hassan@Asang is our family friend. I was so mesmerized with the beauty and totally forgot to capture the best view from the ferry until it was too late. The moment we stepped on the white sand, I’ve decided that this gonna be our lil’ haven for times to come.

Had to wait at the canteen@cafe while waiting for the guest to check-out. Less than 15 minutes, Hanis and Adan tugged my shirt, nak mandi….nak mandi..aiyooo. In our chalet, I did what I do best, organized ‘what should be where’ because they have no wardrobe to offer. This is a no-frills resort, whaddaya expect ? you won’t spend so much time in there anyway. They rest of them went to snorkel somewhere nearby, I think further up the-too-commercialized Marine Park.

They came back when it was almost dark, smiling and continued playing at the beach. I grabbed Hannah and let her enjoy the sea and sand much to her joy. The son loves Sandman from Spidey 3 so much and he couldn’t contained his excitement, rolled on the sand and declared his love to ‘the sand’…in exact word “Adan love sand!!”, oh my hopelessly romantic son.

Sand castle yang x jadik2

One happy Sandman

The water gurl

She bulldozed all our worries, tough & brave

After dinner, went back to chalet while some of them stayed for ASTRO, got nursing to do.

LCCT in Sepang or Seremban ?

Our trip to LCCT started a bit late, but we’re sure we can manage that and arrive on time for check-in and some drama airmata. We rode in 2 cars, my SIL aka Aciq drove my MIL, Bibik, Hannah (sleeping in gendong ) and luggage. However, our next long journey to Terengganu for much needed vacation in Pulau Redang have to start a bit late (after 2pm) due to some ‘technical error’. My SIL missed the KLIA exit !! OMG…Considering that she’s the one who frequented the route almost every other month, I just can’t believe when she said that she’s heading Seremban !! The best part is that, check-in counter is closing in 20 minutes time. Gosh !! The hubby was clearly upset and I avoided talking to him for fear that he mistaken me for the sister, kang aku plak kena bambu hehe. I talked to the officer and managed to hold a passenger boarding, but he said that luggage will have to be sent by courier. That’s impossible according to Bibik. To cut the story short, they didn’t make it and we (hubby) spent another RM320 for a flight scheduled at 4.30pm. Apart from that, the SIL had to endure the brothers fury and she got to pay the price by staying there and ensure that Bibik board the plane safely. Kesian mak, they have to find a spot to lepak for another 4 hours. Sakit pinggang orang tua tu..

Discovery : McDonalds Hotcake is HOT HOT HOT, I like….it is so soft and gebu, the kids love it so much. Since I tapau the pancake, they put it in a Styrofoam container that looks like a tray with a cover, mmm nice packaging. It has 3 medium size pancakes, accompanied by 2 mini-tubs of butter and one larger tub of golden syrup. We were too busy eating and I totally had no mood to snap any pix. Will do it later. The downside of it : It costs me RM 9++ for 3 medium size pancakes, maybe the container cost half the price. Maybe…

I'm Pissed Off

Can I swear on my blog ?

I'm mad and definately hangin satu badan when the hubby called and told me that our daughter 'terberak dalam kain'. Don't laugh...it's not funny.

But why ? My daughter is one who can tahan the urge for more than few hours esp. when we're traveling unless she caught a diarrhea or really serious bout or stomachache.

When probed she said that the teacher asked her to 'tahan dulu' until another student who went earlier came back. What kind of rules is that ? She can't tahan anymore and accidentally settle 'the business' in the class. What a humiliation for a 7 years old. The teacher than asked her to wash and come back to class. OMG . This is not the 'kincit' kind of thing. Other schools they provided an extra uniform that need to be returned. I don't mind paying. or at least call our number to pick up the kid.

She had to endure all the humiliation, not to mention the smell, all the way until the class end. This really shook her confidence level. Luckily tomorrow is Saturday.

When I called the school they said, it was to deter a student from cheating. I confronted and said there are many ways to deter cheating but not allowing student to visit the loo is not one of the option.

I’m waiting for the teacher to call me this afternoon to know her side of the story, so that I can conclude and rest my case. Eventhough I'm mad but I have to be fair to the teacher and school as well. It could be just between me and the teacher but it can be between me and the principal. We’ll see..

Thanx god, I managed not to swear

Kiddo talks

One beautifool day

Adan : Ibu, 'splash' tu apa ?
Ibu : errrr...mmm..terpercik, like I wanna splash you with some water...ibu nak percikkan air kat Adan
Adan : errmm ok, Adan suka ayam splash
Ibu : What ?
Adan : Ayam splash...
Ibu : ????
Hanis : Bukan ayam splash la Adan, splashed chicken, ayam percik..kan ibu ?

X-UUM IT Reunion at Desa Waterpark

At last, the last so called re-union for our batch was held when I was anak dara still, how long was that ?

After almost 7,8 years, we gathered again at Desa Waterpark hasil kerja keras Ayu n the gang who put an effort to ensure it runs smoothly. Congrats guys !!

Kesian AJK nak ikut agenda sbbnya masing2 sebok kejar anak yg dah kecebur masuk kolam. Hehe on average most of us managed to 'produce' at least 2 or 3 offsprings. We had fun playing some sukaneka, lucky draws and kid's game was so havoc with the self-appointed advisor a.k.a mak bapak. Who kept on telling the 'little athletes' on what to do...which bakul to put the collected items.

The only letdown was the food both breakfast and lunch, ada ka buah yg dah penyek pun serve kat kitorang. It's not the organiser's fault, they had no choice since you have to use the park's catering service. Luckily, we had our nasik lemak bawah jambatan before heading there.

All in all, it was worth the money spent (RM200++ for the whole family and bibik), lots of goodies and generous portion of hamper. Sure ada yang x ambikm hamper sukaneka sbb masa dah nak balik ada yg belum bukak, so we just open it and distribute to whoever yang belum balik.

Photos will be uploaded in my fotopages later. Nak balik kemas barang nak pi Redang. Ciaooooo...

Jom demam ramai-ramai

haaaa....itu tema budak-budak bertuah tu masa awal2 bulan haritu. Memang nak tergolek ibu dia. Demam x hengat punya sampai kena outsource, Adan as usual kena nebuliser every few hours at the clinin nearby. Mintak bibik stay overnight and babah manage 1 of them

Job Allocation : Hannah > Ibu , Adan > Babah, Hanis > Bibik

Actual Execution : Hannah > Ibu, Adan > Ibu, Hanis > Ibu Dusssshhh!!

Off to Redang !!! yeaahhhhh

I'll update once I'm back....with magnificent photos of coz....

But...tomorrow will definitely start with a tear...we're off to KLIA first thing in the morning, bibik will board the 12.40 flight to Surabaya. My SIL and MIL will join us at the LCCT.

Yesterday both my FIL and MIL, gave some $$$ for her job well done, that further proved that she's really a good helper. Bukan senang nak lepas their benchmark.

We'll be getting a new one in 1 month time, hopefully earlier and she'll come with a pricetag of rm3500 no less. But for a helper as good as Sutik, we are willing to pay even rm6000++ worth every single cent.

The Uneventful Anniversary

Our 8th anniversary was one ordinary day. No celebration whatsoeva since it was a working day and it was a hectic one that left us with zero-energy by the time he picked me up, almost 7pm.

We rushed to KLCC to treat our tummy, ambik syarat. Tak baloi nak spend so much on dinner since I'm not on normal diet yet. Aiyoh, forgot to blog about my hellish experience with the wisdom tooth..later lah

That kind of non-celebration mood sounds dangerous for a couple but .....it was like that ever since hehe we normally have a belated celebration when we feels like it. Can oso...

I'm off for now, we've got a treat for the kids : Spiderman 3 tomorrow and Pirate's on Sunday. Adan loves Captain Jack Sparrow to the max, aye captain....he can watch the 1st and 2nd movie over and over even staying up until 2am, on his own. Then he woke me up to switch off the ASTRO (that will cost me rm93++ from now!!)

I'm leaving on a jetplane....

"I don't know when I'll be back again.."

Agaknya tulah yang bibik kesayangan aku tengah nyanyi. Ceh !! macam la dia pandai nyanyi omputeh hehe but that's what we have to face. She's leaving, the AirAsia ticket that cost us rm214 is the proof. Date printed : 31 May 2007 12:40pm KL-Surabaya. Huwaaaaaaaa...

We have to let her go...she failed her 2nd FOMEMA medical check-up due to a suspected pneumonia. Dr said that don't bother to appeal unnecessarily. Ye lah tu...you don't know how superb my bibik is...we are willing to spend our $$ to treat her, even if we have to do it at Gleaneagles Hospital.

Luckily, my sister just started her long semester break, so she'll be my backup...but after 3 days, I don't think she can handle the brood esp. Hannah the Bamboo Flower (mana ntah abang dia dpt nama ni). Ada harapan nak kena outsource kat mak while waiting for the new bibik. Back to square one, now...I've got to cook in advance, I've to handwash the school uniforms, scrubbing the bath and playing with the mop and broom and bla bla bla. Berlagak plak...mcm la x pernah buat...nampak gaya cita2 aku nak maintain vogue kat umah mcm x brp nak jadik je hehe

We plan to compensate her with a bonus, paid air ticket, something for the parents as well as the kids. Even that much is too small compared to what she had given us during our short partnership in managing the household.

Anyway, this entry is dedicated to my dear bibik, SUTIK, we love you so much, eventhough you're not perfect but for us you deserve the award of Superb Bibik. Thank you very much for treating the kids like your own, cooking us a good food, and even strecthing your help to my in-laws. I'll miss our urut2 session.

Lost and Found - lesson learnt

Jenuh baca paper, citer pasal the-SOGO-missing-kid. At last he was found, somewhere in Sentul. Not found actually, somebody returned him.

I was talking to my hubby saying that something is not right esp. looking at the shaved head and their claim that the boy contracted chicken pox while in their care. Secara logik, mana scars ? Kenapa x hantar balai dah tau budak hilang, takkan neighbors x notice. The auditor-minded of me started to form a conspiracy theory. Mesti something wrong. The next day news, the couple were arrested. I had my chance to tell the hubby....Told you !!

All in all, the couple could be a sindiket pengemis or whatsoever, but they saved the boy's life once i.e. when he tried to cross the road and they returned the kid. Ignore that, it is now a police case. What I like to mention here is that, who should be blamed ? SOGO ? DBKL ? for not putting enuff camera ? or the neighbors who took it easy. NOOOOOOOOOO

It is THE FATHER who selfishly left the boy on his own so that he can try a new shirt in the fitting room. YES, he is the one, but I'm not so evil to the point of sending an SMS to say 'Serve you right !!'. But he paid the price !!

Aku x nak riak sbb takut Allah kenakan ujian yang sama, Nauzubillah. But I always make sure the kids are with me even when I need to pee, if the cubicle is big enuff !! Some people said, oveerr !! Yes, I'd prefer people saying that rather than losing my kids. So what if the jamban is too small ? No choice, have to leave them outside and ask them to stand in front of the door so that I can see their feet. And Along being paranoid as I am will always make sure that the brother is within range..."Adaaaaaan, nanti ibu x nampak kaki kita !!" hehe true story maa..that will only work if the kids are 3yo and above. FYI, PLUS hi-way (Tapah) has got a family and child cubicle. One huge cubicle and the child one is so cute with a tiny bowl and lowered mini-sink.

When babah or bibik need to visit the jamban, dalam hati, luckily I got the baby in the sling, so I have 2 free hands to cuff the tiny struggling hands trying to break free. One more thing, starts early on the trolley, you'll be surprised that I managed to keep my kids IN the shooping trolley until now, they're 7 and 5. If they want to be out then they need to cling on the side of the trolley, not easy...so they end up inside the trolley again. Believe me, consistency pays. Don't ever let them out, even ONCE. But the downside : You need 2 trolleys during groceries shopping.

Restoring the childhood memories

Everytime balik kampung, aku mesti belek album gambar lama2 tgk aku zaman kecik2 dulu dgn kulit yg mcm 'anak kel**ng' pastu gigi rongak, sure gelak sorang2. My dear hubby was a bit unlucky because he only got a few pix of himself when he was a child. Nevertheless, the most precious is the classic pose of him on his tummy a la kedai gambar dolu2 punya style. And for me, I knew where exactly the cam-wh0re genes came from hehe.

Now, we're lucky to have all things digital. Everything can be captured and replayed, reproduced and whateva-re-lah. But ONE thing is not. Your kids creativities on HARD PAPER. All the conteng-contengs, kiddy-handwritten are all on paper, right ? or walls @#$%&. When Hanis was a baby, I didn't think much of her artworks, everything went to the bin. But when she started her preschool, I realised that I shud have kept and framed it for the sake of memory. So, I ended up having stacks of her artworks in my tiny lil house. Out of desperation I came up with a space saving option.

HOW ? Use the digicam to capture it, just keep those which is too sentimental to throw and turn the rest to digital version. I did, so this is some of the artworks that I managed to freeze.

Hanis said that she has a dark skin like mine hence the color of the face. While Adan who fancy all things PINK will always come up with a brighter version.

So, whaddaya think ? Am i genius or what, no ??

One wake up call for one selekeh wifey

My dear friend gave me a wake up call yesterday. A normal e-mail to plan for another hoya-hoya session turned me into a hard thinker the whole night.

I’m now on a mission to be the eye candy for my dear hubby. He’s not complaining whatsoeva but should I wait ? Nope, I’m gonna start soon.

Took a peek into my wardrobe and realized how selekeh I was all this while. I can't keep on using the 'same reason' for not dressing up. Thanx Dd

e-Failing

What was that ? the first 4 character can carry 2 meaning i.e. a direct translation from fail = file or it can be taken as pure as ‘gagal’.

It is funny that the service provider are the one who are not ready. Normally the stupid user a.k.a t@xpayers are the one who are not tech savvy enuff to embrace new way of doing things.

Now, with less than 20 days to go, I have no choice but to torture my lil fingers to write down my SG no. on every single page of the form. And thinking about my love hate relationship with all thing numbers can simply turn me green blue and black.

To realize that we have to endure all those torture in order to SEDEKAH our hard earned money to be spent by the gomen on things which has no benefit to you is totally unbelievable.

Come on la, don’t preach about the public RESPONSIBILITIES when you’re failing in everyway. Don’t tell me to tweak my PC for the thousandth times. It just fail and to say that my PC is failing on me also not a valid reason. I have everything in place, the damn cert whatnot. I'm not that stupid to the point of not knowing where to do the setting on my browser. You're the one who limit it to IE when I have Mozilla, Netscape and the whole gang.

Stop bitching and submit your form la babe….hehe

My Shopping List

What I have in mind as at to date, it can changed in a matter of seconds, but still, for the record hehe

• 2 pairs or formal shoes from Hush Puppies (black and beige open-toe)

• Books (have to wait for BookSale) Shopaholic series from Sophie Kinsella, Anabelle Karmel series bla bla
• A pair of decent jeans
• Kelisa or Kenari hehe (this will be out from the list in 3 yrs time !!)

Diva-laden Nite

This entry specially dedicated to the birthday girl, you know who you are. Have a blast and dim-sum-ful birthday

I’m still dazed by all the glitters and diva-headed-celebrities and lack of sleep. After almost than 6hours of lupa diri session, I was back home to resume my duty to all the 3 kids who were obviously treasuring the dreamland, lintang pukang all over the 2nd hall.

Back to the story. That very 1st word of the title should give away the clue of my entry. D I V A as in diva….yeah baby I was there watching the 3 Diva concert courtesy of my ‘CP’ed friend. TQ TQ

My dear pakwe volunteered to transport us there, while he went for ‘300’ at Mines. The place was not so crowded and I can see the backdrop@red carpet area, love it. I can see the x-4U2C guy receiving the stars. That was the starts of my celebrity-packed outing. We stood and chatted away, moved closer but still out of the buzzing area. Managed to secure a position right behind the TV crew along the red carpet, that area was empty coz everybody were jostling at the entrance.

We stood there, not paying attention to all the passing i-don’t-even-know-who-the-hell VVIP, but things started to change once Dayang & d Gangz entered the scene. We were lucky, nobody obstructing our view at all. Now, we moved closer to grab the title ‘screaming fan’ when the sorts like Ning, Zi@na Zen made the entrance. BTW, Sazzy’s hand was soft as..what ah ? Wangi somemore…That was when the celebrity-fanatic realized that they had a better chance to grab the celebrity at OUR VERY OWN SPOT, the debab gurl next to me even pushed my partner in crime and open up her ‘aircon’. But, Tun Mahathir made our day and inspired my petite friend to fight for a handshake, and YEss she did it.

1 thing fresh in my mind : how we ducked our face just in time before the TV crew shoving the on-air camera right under our nose, you ppl should see us in action, that was hilarious !! I’d rather die than caught in action doing the celeb-whoring. Call us hypocrite for all we care

Once inside, had to wait for almost 45min, either we’re awestrucked or we’re plain berlagak but we were surrounded by all the URTV-faces like Camelia, Hattan, Kuza, Fazura blabla yet we dinch move a bit haha as if they’re a normal sighting.

The concert was worth the waiting, they (Kris, Ruth and Titi-i-donch-know-who) are absolutely a DIVA, the voices…bergetar dadaku !! Tapi..bergetar lagi gegendang telinga baby yang dibawak oleh one inconsiderate mom, you selfish creature !! I love to bits when they paid a tribute to Sheila M & CT.

The concert ended gloriously but our night ended nightmarishly (at least for one of us) !! We made a transit at Craven Ampang for another celebrity sighting. Nora Danish with her subang gantung in the middle of the night, Cicco and his mum Uji were having their supper, we were told that the cafe belongs to Zainal Abidin the Hijau singer. My diva friend can’t stop scratching and it looks like she’ll get a free (medical)leave for the next 2 weeks. Isn't that a bliss ? or was that a blister ? Happy scratching
