Megasale

Woohooo, Megasale is back. 23rd July till 4th September. Go shop till you drop. heh..

My hardworking clerk transfers to other department. Sad though. I like her and I learned a lot about letters, filing and stuff from her. And she's the one who has 6 kids, and still manages to save RM50 each for each child every month. Kagum teman.

Since raya is in less than 2months, we decided to buy her a complete set of raya outfit. Kain, tudung and brooch.

And I'm the unlucky one who were chosen to buy the gift. So off I went to Jalan TAR along with Joe on Saturday. Goodness, that place were packed with people or specifically, ladies..

I hate buying things like kain baju kurung for anyone. Everyone has different taste in patterns, colours, type of fabric etc. Well, finally, I bought something I thought she will like, a matching tudung and a Kenji brooch.

I like Kenji. Affordable and worth buying. Almost 10 years ago, I bought 2 Kenji brooches. That time, it was RM50 for 2. (Serious murah..) the brooch remains shiny and pretty as it is even though it has been almost 10 years. The patterns are not the typical flower pattern with lots of stones. The one I bought is the shape of twisted leave. Anyway, the good part is, Kenji has a lifetime warranty. If the brooch loses the stones or the pin worn out for what ever reason, you can send it to any Kenji outlet without having to bring anything to prove your purchase. Kenji owns their unique patterns..

We are fast shoppers, spent about 2 hours at Jalan TAR, Sogo and Semua House. I bought beads for my baju raya beading project which I have started last night. yay. Went to the house whole department at Sogo, eyeing and surveying plain Corelle dishware and Tefal (I'm crazy about plates and pots). Arrived at 10.45 and safely on the road heading back home at 12.50. Some women are fast shoppers.

Need to get out of there as fast as we can. I cant stand the crowds and the heat. I say it's crazy when the mothers can shop happily bringing their young infants in the prams.. Crazeeeee

For sickness and in health

I realize I'm not at my very best health for the past few months. I suffered the usual migraines almost a few times a week. A few times of throbbing headaches n throwing-up every week. Alhamdulillah I have the best husband in the world that will cook and hug me to sleep when I'm not well. haha, I wish I'm having this because I'm pregnant, sadly I'm not.

Since I'm having this so damn frequent, I just couldn't bear having thousands mg of painkillers into my system. Sleeping used to help. Just lately, it's still there when I woke up. Doa itu senjata mukmin.. Ma gave me this verse from Al-Waqiah, ayat 19:

Baca sambil gosok kepala, Ma cakap.
Usually, Wan will soak a small towel in cold water n lay it on my forehead or at the back of the neck. Alhamdulillah, it helped with God's willing.

God gives us pain to wash away our sins and to make us realize we are easily weaken by just a tiny prick from Him. And I'm thankful enough to have a great husband that I can rely on when I'm sick. Alhamdulillah...

Rookies

Is a 11-episode Japs Drama. Finished watching it with Joe in just 1 day. (Had enough of English Drama at the mean time :)

Another interesting Japs Drama that never failed to make me cry n laugh at the same time. It aint a love drama. It is about a teacher who's determine to get this group of students to realize their dreams once again which is to play baseball and make it to Koshien after they have been banned from playing for 6 months over a tragic incident.

I have watched more than 70 KDramas, countless CDramas, filling my free time with Malay, Indo, Filipino, Tamil, Hindi, English Dramas. Well I guess, I spent 1/4 of my life watching TV. Oh yes I did, a hobby which I'm not proud off but still I fail to ditch up till now. Nonetheless, JapsDramas are the best.

It's short, (usually 11 episodes), not draggy, nice scenery and even how illogical the drama is like Zettai Kareshi, moral values are told indirectly in certain ways which goes deep into your heart.

The actors arent that manly. hahaha.. Seriously, most of them are skinny with weird hairdo and trimmed eyebrows. (Well actually I love skinny guy but minus the hair and trimmed eyebrows :) So, I dont watch movies/dramas because of the actors. Google for Densha Otoko and you know what I mean. It's among the highest rating dramas in Japan.. And I can conclude and Japs dont go for looks but the quality of the movie/drama.

I watched many Malay Dramas, many, from RTM, Media Prima's channel, Astro, you name it. But from my amateur's point of view, Malaysian's dramas/films have a long way to go to compete with other countries. Arwah Yasmin Ahmad's and Erma Fatima arent that bad though. Haslam's or the son's movies, pfffffffttttttt... Tengok mase tengah memasak kat dapur jerlah. Not worth my time at all. Sorry guys..

Excel yang excellent..

Hari sedih sudah berlalu. Kebiasaannya memang berlaku sehari setiap bulan.. Tak boleh berlaku kerap, nanti duit kopak, badan jugak bertambah lemak sebab membeli delivery fastfood combo yang besar kemudian lepas makan, baring bermalas2an depan tv.

Gossip Girl Season 3 juga dah habis khatam. Next TV series ialah Grey's Season 6. Tak rasa bersalah sangat menonton TV kerana seperti satu pembelajaran, menonton dan membaca subtitle English. Tapiiii, perlulah seimbangkan dengan ibadat dan kerja rumah. Chey wah...... :D

Saya suka bila menjelang hari gaji. Bukan sebab nak dapat duit, tapi sebab nak buat budget review bulan sudah dan membuat perancangan gaji. Tapi sebenarnya, perancangan gaji setiap bulan untuk Tahun 2010 dah pun dibuat. heh.

Skema amat, tapi saya sangat, sangat suke melihat ke mana duit saya pergi.

Dulu hanya guna buku nota dan calculator adalah sahabat sejati. Sekarang, tak main ar calculator, semua dah formulated dalam excel beb.

Simpan kira2 saya simple je terbahagi 3 mengikut keutamaan.
1st mesti simpanan, simpanan diri, simpanan kereta (perlu sebab kereta ni macam manusia, bila2 masa dia boleh sakit dan jangan lupe servis berjadual lagi)
2nd ialah komitmen; segala macam hutang2, yuran kelab, duit parents, duit adik yg belum bekerja, insurans, bil telefon, bil internet etc
3rd ialah tanggungan untuk sebulan; anggaran2 untuk bil letrik dan air, barang dapur, lunch, toiletries, duit tengok wayang (limitkan berapa kali sebulan), petrol, Touch n Go.

Bila dah tolak semua ni, kalau ade baki, barulah boleh pergi berpoya-poya dengan duit baki i.e beli periuk La Gourmet atau koleksi sudu garfu stainless steel kualiti tinggi. Setiap perbelanjaan direkod dan jika perbelanjaan daripada duit tanggungan, duit tanggungan akan berkurangan. Dan bila dah masuk duit gaji baru dan didapati duit berpoya2 masih ade baki atau anggaran tanggungan ade extra, sebahagiannya dimasukkan ke dalam bank sebagai duit kecemasan dan sebahagiannya di bawa ke bulan depan.

Mudah je kan? Tapi perlu rajin update, kalau tak, kejap2, "Abg, 2hari lepas Ayg beli ape, simpan kira2 tak seimbang niiiiiiiiii"

Spot the different

Received this email about rare pictures taken.. And among all, I just love this one. Mungkin superimposed, I dont know. Tapi gambar ni sangat comel. Kucing tu macam Puss dalam Shrek....


p/s: I love cats but dislike keeping them :D

Dont worry, be happy..

Mission unaccomplished again this month. Hell yeah you know what I meant.

Will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary in a few weeks. Plans have been made and I was hoping we can celebrate it with a special "gift" for both of us. But none.. It will be just the two of us.

For the last few weeks, I've heard so much of "patient yaya, your time isnt here yet" and truly it doesnt help when it comes from people who got pregnant almost immediately after getting married and blessed with cute babies..

It triggers me whether I may have said something about not wanting babies but I couldnt recall any. However the rage I felt when we bickered can really screwed up my mind sometimes and I may have wished for something I dont mean.

Yesterday was emotional. The moment I knew the circle starts as usual, I burst into tears like the past 6 months. Raya is nearing, and it's making it worst. Wan have been nothing but supportive. Words wont help, I just need hugs and he knows it already.. We ordered a big combo meal of pizza delivery for dinner and watched Gossip Girls Season 3. Yeah, I find comfort by watching tv. It eases my mind away and floods it with Blair and the gang's problem.

At 12.30am, Wan needed to use the laptop to finish up his works (see, govt officer brings work home tooooo) and I just need to do something because I wast sleepy. So I washed clothes (manually, we dont have a washing machine. we usually brought our dirty laundry every weekend and added a few ringgit to Ma's water and electricity bill) in the middle of the night just to keep my mind busy. Slept at 2.30 and woke-up at 7 this morning. Bersiap seperti lipas kudung..hahahaha

Anyway, I may have taken this waaaaaaaaay too hard on myself. Alright, maybe I am.. I have been thinking about seeking advices (or maybe treatment, just hope not) at LPPKN. My sister used to work there and she said young couples went there as early as a year of baby-less, like us. There's no point of procrastinating and keep myself wondering, isnt it?

And I have to accept the fact that this is the best for both of us for the time being and Allah may have His plans on us. Or maybe, He knows I'm not ready to be a mother just yet..

The hardest part to accept is, it has been a year already and it's time to meet the doctor and knowing the truth.. That aint easy and not all can understand....

p/s: Tolong jangan komen, relax ar Yaya, baru setahuuuuunnnnnnnn... Hahahahaha, taknak dengar tu dah ok :p

17RK1

Oh iyer, itu la nama kuarters saya. Di suatu pagi yang hening, keluar dari lift menuju ke kereta, tiba2 dikejutkan dengan baru yang tidak menyenangkan. Owh, rupanya orang tak guna akal fikiran telah sekali lagi membuang 1 plastik besar sampah di tepi blok. Tiang blok E. Mestilar warga blok E kot, sebab blok D dan F jauh nun di sebelah kiri dan kanan. Sampah tersebut telah terburai2 dek kerjaan anjing2 yang berpesta di kawasan blok pada malam hari.


Pampers yang telah digunakan pun ade orang buang kat rumput, diorang ni campak dari tingkap ke ape???


Nak buang ke tong sampah tu memang patah tangan, patah kaki or mungkin boleh jadi lumpuh agaknya, jadi, letak jerla kat sini. Esok pagi, cleaner kutip. Senangnya hidup ku kata si pembuang sampah.


Nak kate terencat otak, dapat kerja kerajaan n kuarters ni paling rendah pun gred CC. So nak bagi gelaran ape kat mereka nii??

Scholarship

Surfing the net looking for scholarship for Bro Wan. Alhamdulillah, he manages to get into UM and will be doing Statistic for 3 1/2 year. It's his second choice. So he's happy and thrill going back to UM.

JPA scholarship is out of the picture because minimum requirement is at least 3.4 and Bro Wan's is slightly below that. And seriously JPA, you should update your website. It still states "admission 2009/2010" while now is 2010/2011. Or is it because the application tak bukak lagi??

I clicked at malaysia-scholarship.net. Most of the scholarship offered are posted there but majority stated the deadline before 18th June which was the date UPU announced the successful names that gained admission to local universities. However all of the scholarship offered for degree holder require the applicants to have gained admission to the selected local Uni.

Ape ni tak selari lar.

Bro Wan, you still have another chance to apply for JPA's scholarship. Get at least 3.5 for your 1st semester. Itupun kalau syarat kat JPA tak berubah sebab website tu ketinggalan zaman.

Kalau tak dapat scholarship, terpaksalar Ma&Pa tanggung kerana Ma&Pa taknak bebankan anak2 die dengan hutang PTPTN bila habis belajar nanti. Jadi sebab Ma&Pa tanggung, jangan ngengade nak ada awek. Duit belanja awek makan pun, diberi oleh Ma&Pa, malu ar sikit weh. Dah kerja nanti, bercinta la. Lagi seronok sebab ade duit sendiri. Takdela bila nak keluar dating, "Ma, nak duit saku. Nak keluar dating dengan gefren"
Pffft, loser beb........


p/s: Akak mu ini tak de boifren pun mase 3 tahun kat Uni, alhamdulillah, kahwin juge :D

Curiosity killed the cats

Saya rasa, ini adalah terbitan dari perasaan ingin tahu, kalau letak chewing gum kat lift, apekah pintu lift tidak boleh dibuka. Tidak berjaya ye. Dont try this anymore and parents, please tell your kids not to do this.

Dulu masa kami masih kekanak comel, Papa telah mengharamkan chewing gum dalam rumahnya. Ini kerana Papa risau kami tak pandai makan, lalu tertelan dan merosakkan sistem pencernaan badan kami. Pa budak Kejut, die tak tahu asid dalam perut n alkali dalam usus kuat boleh mencairkan ape sahaja.

Pengharaman dikuatkan lagi, bila salah sorang anak comel dia terletak chewing gum kat rambut.. zzzzzzz
Tak tau ar camne boleh 'Ter'. Akibatnya, rambut budak comel itu perlu dipotong kerana setelah dibersihkan dengan minyak tanah, masih ade lagi.

Ini adalah contoh perasaan ingin tahu yang tidak sehat :D

But it's something u wont forget and blog about it 22 years later..heeeeee

Esters, Ketones, and different Sulphur compounds

A mix volatile compounds contribute to durian's aroma. Amazingly, spending 10 minutes in a car smelled of durian, washes away the GA Code I sprayed this morning and hey, I'm wearing durian perfume today.

Yesterday didnt start so well. I was feeling mushy for no reason. However it ended beautifully.

Joe had a meeting in Akademi J*PJ in Melaka yesterday. Guess what, the Academy has durian orchard. weee.. So Joe brought a full load of durian in his car boot. We took home 3 big ones and the remainings were left in his car for his staff.

(Imagine a car full of durian overnight)

When we got in the car this morning, wallaaaa, the smell is soooooooo strong.

Petua untuk hilangkan bau durian dalam kereta sama ada letak roti or arang, kalau satu badan bau durian??

Cepatlah pukul 5, saya mahu makan durian dalam peti ais kat rumah tuuuuuu...

Thank U sayang :D

13 hours

Went to Mai's wedding reception in Kluang with Joe, Akmal n Ryo yesterday and spent 13 hours in baju kebaya.

The journey started at 10.30 after having breakfast at my house. Yeah, I cooked :)

Ryo's mp3 songs, hmmmm, not that suitable for road trip. Lagu english dia sumer ballads. Masuk2 keta, lagu Mandy Moore beb. And I got bullied by the guys, my favourite songs sumer kena cantas.

3 1/2 hours later, arrived at Mai's house. Ate nasi, ate 3 type of kerepek and makcik tu tukar jug air 4 ke 5 kali (teh bunga yang sedap) while waiting to snap a picture with the bride.



Next, went to Kluang Railway Station for coffee and Joe pun dah tak ingat hotel cap ayam yang die stay kat Kluang before register nak pergi PAC kat IKWAS 10 tahun dulu, eh silap, 8 tahun dulu.

No idea kenapa muka Ryo begitu..hahahaha

Then, Ryo shopped for kerepek yang banyak, when I say banyak, I meant banyak yang penuh boot kereta. Gambar dalam kamera Akmal.

Need to rush back for Ryo to enjoy the 10pm game but decided to have dinner 1st. Kelab Tasik closes at 10pm on Sundays ye kawan2. So headed to Presint 9, ramai. Last resort, Restoran Nasi Ayam Kampung at Presint Diplomatik. Tak ramai sebab tv die kecik tapi makanan die sedap.

I was still wearing baju kebaya at 10.30pm. Ryo was already restless sebab tak dapat tengok match sambil makan kerepek yang dibelinya tadi.

Sempat tengok 3 gol pertama and headed home at 11pm.

After 13 hours, my eyeliner was still intact, no panda eyes. Etude House Liquid Eyeliner is highly recommeded. And yeah, misi bulan lepas tidak berjaya lagi T____T

Anyone interested to attend Syuriza's wedding at Seberang Takir on 17th July? (staying overnight on Saturday). 4 orang dah ade. And Ryo, burn lagu yang rancak2 sikit :B

he's back...

Lil Bro Wan is back. He went back alone, Pa wants to stay longer accompany Ma. Bro Wan needs to get ready for his registration Next Sunday anyway. And yeay, he made it to UM, it's his second choice. Kakak borek, adik rintik, he chose uni kat KL and selangor je. The same thing his sister did 7 years ago.

Look what Bro Wan bought for his sister..

Sweet isnt he? I love Twix. Tapi Twix kat Malaysia mahal. Makan Tofilux keluaran negara Arab tu jer lah sebagai ganti. Baju tu macam ketat sikit kat hips, so Bro Wan said, "Ape lagi, kuruskan la badan"

chait :D

He even bought souvenirs for his friends but let me guess, mesti kawan perempuan :B

Makcik talk

Last month, I bought a 28" Tefal frying/sauce pan for the price of zzzzzzz which made Wan went, "Periuk ape harga macam ni???!!!" Ehehehe
"Ni Tefal lar, siap dengan glass lid pastu dia ade penanda aras bila periuk ni dah panas pastu bla,bla,bla"
Trying so hard to convince him that the pan is worth the price.

Getting a moderate paycheck amount every month (alhamdulillah), I dont get the chance to buy EVERYTHING I want whenever I want. Minus the savings, debts, parents' and lil bro pocketmoney, etc, etc, I only have a tiny sum which I cant spend for myself. And if I long for something, I may have to save that tiny sum every month until it mounts up to the amount I want.

Patience is virtue.

When I need to put up more effort to buy things, I tend to appreciate them more. Siap pesan berkali-kali kat Wan, periuk ni jangan guna scouring pad besi tu, jangan rendam dalam air semalaman, bla, bla sampai rasa nak letak manual penggunaan. However when I got things easily macam bola datang bergolek tiba, I gave less attention to take care of it.

Same thing happens to the kids this generation. They ALWAYS get what they want regardless the parents arent that well off and in the end, they are such a spoilt brat, hilang henfon 2-3 kali pun takpe, konfem dapat yang baru. (Well, easy for me to say when I am not in that situation yet. ok,ok..)

Being cheapskate is so worth it when you glance at your bank book and hmmmm...makes you want to save more next month :D

Rumours

So I've just heard, (a few months back actually) that there were rumours about me when I first joined this department.

Office rumours.

I looked young because I was quite young when I joined this service. Dont know who spread the news but during that time, 3 years ago, someone said I entered this post because my daddy is one of the top people.

Seriously??!!

Daddy dearest wasnt in the same scheme as I am and he's the most honest person I know. Nak guna2 kabel ni jangan harapla. When S*PA refused to give me the offer letter because I've already received one (for a different post), I fought for my right against S*PA by myself, contacted the right person that advised me what I shoud do back then. Rizal said, there's a file about my case there :D

S*PA's policy, one can only get 1 offer letter. Received my 1st during PAC. If their system (or the people in there) are so good, why didnt they strike out my name when I received the 1st offer letter FROM THEM? Let me pass PAC and the interview but refused to hand me the offer letter. Tak fair kan?

Back to the main story.

When you see young people joining in, at least give them the chance to prove themselves first.

After 6 months, kalau masih terkapai-kapai tapi berlagahak, that's a different story. Try check transcript dia tu :D


p/s: Rasanya memang takdir berkhidmat dalam skim ni walaupun saya pergi interview aritu pakai pants u'ols :B alhamdulillah

I'm back

Tarik balik farewell eventhough no one misses me.. :D

******

I'm not proud of what I did just now.

The nasi lemak with ayam goreng berempah was so irresistable. I took a small plate of it, ate with no regret.

When the tummy said, "cukup2 ar tu" after a cup of coffee, regrets creeping inside..

Why did I eat that nasi lemak when lunch was in 1 hour... I'm having lunch at home with Joe and he will make sure I have my lunch...
Nyesal-nyesal...

The psychological effect was just too great to resist, the tummy didnt feel that nice, I was feeling dizzy. So I went to the toilet, stucked my middle finger inside the throat and blugrh...

This is the 2nd time this week..

Not good, not good..

I know it's not healthy and people with this syndrome may get cavities easier compare to normal people. I hate that fact because I love my teeth. I take really good care of them.

But I cant deny that part of me do feel good when I forced these fatty food out of my system.

Imagine when you cant control your hunger, you binged. Remorsed. Threw up and tadaaa, you didnt feel hungry anymore.. Satisfaction guaranteed..
Seriously, I felt full eventhough there's nothing inside my tummy.

And I know, it's a waste of food. Better off give that protion I ate to someone who really needs it.

*sigh*

Esok puase...ganti :D (Lagi sebulan setengah nak Ramadhan beb)

So long..

...farewell...

MAC.. Revlon..SimplySiti

1 similarity = Make-up

A friend is kinda disturbed with her bf's statement saying she should wear more make-up.

I never thought about it until she brought it up.

Well, for her, the bf's statement indicates make-up can make her look pretty or another way of saying "You're not pretty, please put on some make-up".

So far, what Joe had mentioned to me is to wear less or nothing at all. Alhamdulillah :D

I just dont know how to response back to her.. ouch!

Annoyed

Every 1 hour, this thing appears

Eventhough I'm not browsing anything on IE and MS Word is the only window on the PC screen.

The result:


Imagine having to restart the PC every 1 hour? And if I didnt, the pc hangs

And no, I dont have the authority to change anything on my PC.


Need to call the IT guy again. Call tomorrow, they'll response 2-3days after.

So, have to restart my PC every hour. Best betul.

Pengajaran di akhir entry.. TIADA..hehehe
