Of weddings and gatherings..and craps

Hola..

Berjanji dgn satu couple ni saya akan update blog hari Ahad yg lalu..tapi janji tinggal janji. Rabu baru ada mood nak update. Saya agak moody sekarang..moody dgn keje (sangat), moody dgn handphone, dan moody dgn kereta saya itu. What happened?

Friday - 18/12 : Went out for lunch with Yasz, Kak Dilla, Jue and Jaja. Thanks Yasz for arranging this. Lama gila tak jumpa Jue and Jaja. Nothing changed, they are still chatty and funny. Owh baru perasan, takde sessi bergambar langsung..isk. Yasz and Kak Dilla went back earlier (selepas puas makan nasi daun pisang in Nirwana and dessert di Delicious). Jue, Jaja and me continued by going for a foot massage kat Thai Odysse.y. Memang about time, I really needed that. Pejam mata je 1 hour tu, sakit tu sakit gak kat tempat urat yg memang sakit :).

Lepas tu yg incident handphone ni berlaku. Went to the toilet, took out the phone from the pocket and masa nak letak dlm bag, slipped out of my hand. Terkezut. Immediately took it out from the bowl (seb baik bangsar Village punya toilet bowl putih berseri berkilat) and I took out the battery, ingat2 lupa apa B citer masa phone dia pun masuk air. I made a mistake. Lap2 lebih kurang and I try on the phone balik (2 kali). HUGE mistake. Ada la bunyi2 getar2..bZzzTt. Terus aku off phone. Balik rumah, try lagi..confirm tak bleh pakai dah. tsk tsKk. So, pakai la phone lama B yg tak pakai memory card..sadis. Apa nak buek. Abis la segala numbers yg kat phone memory. Jangan marah eh nanti2 bila aku minta balik no phone korang. After that, berangan la nak beli phone baru dgn duit bonus B.

19/12 - Siang tu ada two weddings. One in Shah Alam, my office colleagues and one in Kelana Jaya, Tiyah's best friend and Tiyah jadik pengapit.
At night, as planned, sessi berjumpa cousins and second cousins di IKEA. We had fun. Mula la merapu-rapu ambik gambar haha. Sepol is getting married after Christmas, reception dia kat Perlis on 2nd January and we will all be going, adik beradik Mama, us cousins all. I can't wait. Dah la lama tak balik Perlis. Seafood and Padang Besar..here I comeee :))
Semalam, hantar keta gi workshop sbb keta saya tu buat perangai..dah jadik few times, keta jerking ke depan as if tekan minyak sampai ke lantai. Kalau tak tekan brake, confirm sondol keta kat depan. Memula ingat plug apa tah, dah bayor Rm200 plus for the two times I sent it to the workshop (including kat Kuantan) and semalam katanya gear box dah rosak..total damage? Rm1800! Campur that Rm200..2K la jugak. Hampeh..maka berangan beli handphone tu dipostpone la dulu. Dem. Sekarang faham naper saya rasa macam crap? Ayah kata keta tu dah 7 tahun baru nak buat perangai, kira ok la. Haiyaaa..tapi saya tak suka kena spend banyak utk keta nasional ni..tak suka, tak sooooka.

Betul ke keta ni tahu kalau kita tak suka dia? Lagi2 kalau kita cakap dlm keta tu kata tak suka dia, dia akan merajuk :P. I've always had this love-hate relationship dgn this car. Dulu ada keta Honda, aku sayang gila. Sooooka sgt, dgn leather seat dia..nyaman! And bila keta ku dicuri, Ayah agak marah ler..tapi dpt la duit insurance. And last2 dia belikan I.swara ni and from the start, aku mmg tak suka. Tah la..dok rindu kat keta lama kut :P. Aku buat2 la suka je sbb nak beli sendiri mmg tak mampu la. Orang dah bagi, kira bersyukur la kan. Bleh la gak bawa pi keje and drive jumpa kawan2.

The whole day semalam rasa gloomy je. B ajak minum petang sebelum dia masuk keje pun aku takde mood, nak cepat je balik rumah. Kononnya the sooner I get away from the car, the better I would feel. Knowing that I'm not in a good mood, B called. Terus aku rasa lagi sedih sbb dia tak bersalah apa pun, tapi dia dok pujuk aku suruh cool down. Aku ni jenis risau takut duit tak cukup. Berangan nak beli macam2 bila dah dpt bonus, akhirnya abis ke situ je. B kata 'Ada je duit, cukup je..awak tu yg risau sangat'..kena la aku duduk 'diam-diam' barang sebulan dua ni..tokleh joli-joli. He is my pillar of strength, thank you B. We've been through a LOT, and dah lalu dah zaman susah2 bersama, senang2 bersama. Masa kumpul duit nak kawin dulu pun, pernah kitaorg berjumpa duduk kedai mamak, makan roti kosong dgn ais kosong je. Tak kisah, janji dpt berjumpa..haha.

Ok, asalnya konon aku takde mood nak update, nak letak point form je..sudahnya? Satu karangan jugekk. Selamat bercuti panjang kawan2..dlm bersuka ria tu (ada yg sampai ke Paris tu..jeles jelesss), ingat2 la kat kawan korang yg satu ni yg kena keje Sabtu dan Ahad ni. And you said your life sucks? Look at me! :)

The Kuantan weekend

*Updated with pictures*

I took half day last Friday and left for Kuantan after the Friday prayers. Reached there just in time for dinner and as planned, we head to Tjg Lumpur for seafood. B's younger brother had just moved there to help with the elder brother's business and B's sister had also stayed there as she will be starting her Practical this coming January in Kuantan.

So, adik beradik dia berkumpul la semua that night. The food was yummylicious and sooooo cheap. Imagine, 7 org dewasa dan 3 budak2 makan, dgn sotong, lala, kailan, tomyam, and 3 huge fishes, the total is only RM150! Puas hati me and B belanja :).
Nasi dagang pun murah dan sedap. We had it for breakfast..Ikan tongkol besar dgn nasi RM2.50. The one in KJ is Rm4.50 and tu pun, ikan dia besar bulu mata je tau! Ok enough about food. The main reason we went to Kuantan is to attend Aisha's wedding. Aisha is one of my readers yg rajin comment and we eventually became friends when I met her for the first time last 2 years kut, to borrow her GA's CDs..we met a couple of times and dia dah sampai pun kat rumah baru aku ni :).
Selamat Pengantin Baru Sha..moga dipanjangkan jodoh ke akhir hayat!

After the wedding we head to Kemaman Kopitiam..aku suka gila dgn teh ais dia. Was supposed to meet a friend, and my cousin's girlfriend there but both of them were busy with their plans so tak jadi la berjumpa. We dragged B's sister as dia belum lunch lagi. Kira temankan dia la..huhu padahal order roti sekali tak hengatt. :P We arrived KL on the very same night.

Sunday was our 6th year Anniversary..the saddest part is both B and me had to work that day. Haha..I finished my work at 2pm and waited for B to finish his shift at 7pm and we met at S.ecret Recipe to have our Anniversary dinner. Gila low key je we all celebrate this year :P. Had these for dinner:

Tapi SR kat Kinrara ni tak sesedap the one in KJ la plak. Tomyam kung ni B punya favorite dish kat SR tapi kurengg la malam tu, banyak sgt rasa air udang nya and tak spicy pun. My Chicken Cordon Bleu kekurangan cheese..if kat KJ dah meleleh2 dah cheese dia..hmm. NY Cheese Cake pun sedap lagi yg KJ..(motif tetiba rasa semua di KJ je sedap?? :P). I ordered the Banana apa nama tah, nampak macam menarik, tapi rasa sesudu terus kecewa. Tak moist pun, isi dia kering dan pecah2..aler camner tah nak citer. I expected a moist and padat punya banana cake, jadi agak kecewa di situ. Huhu tak sudah2 dgn citer makanannya.

Went for the interview yesterday evening. It was ok, more to an informal interview la. Maybe just to confirm some details. I'm still having mixed feelings lepas dengar few reviews from my colleagues.. ada yg positif, ada yg negatif. Kena buat solat isthikhorah kut. Am taking a big risk here, I know. But I'm talking from my experience, once you have reached that level of 'I need to go', memang kena blah je. Tengok la offer dia macam mana dulu and I'll decide after that.

I bumped into one ADP3 girl, L.iza in E.ndah Parade tadi..she's working in P.etronas but she said she's considering to resign. I said to her "Gila wehh..aku kalau dpt keje situ, sampai mati aku keje situ" but she said it was a stressful work for her all these while. Macam aku cakap la, bila dah sampai that level, memang kena blah punya. Heck, I knew one student who is working in one of the banks that gave 11 month bonus to the staffs and yet she resigned because it demanded too much of her time and she could not take it. Some people (like me) might stay just because of that 11 month bonus, man. And while talking to Mama tonight, she told me one of my cousins, who is a PTD officer had also resigned because she could not take it any longer, having to stay back most of the time. Ingat senang nak dpt PTD?

Ha macam tu la. I think we always see that the other side is greener. Betul ke apa aku cakap ni? But that's the fact la. Dan risk tu adalah something yg we have to face all the time. Aku dah takde keinginan nak climb the corporate ladder ke hapa.. cuma nak buat keje sebaik mungkin, dapat gaji utk menampung hutang piutang and that's it. Sad, but true. I can be a good follower but I don't think I can be a good leader. Sbb tu la tak berangan nak pegang jawatan tinggi2..

Untuk Mel, ni la yg saya beli kat I.KEA hari tu..alas pinggan. Gambar juadah tu ialah apa yg saya masak hari ni, bihun hailam..lama tak makan :).

Have a nice long weekend all. This weekend is quite full with plans. I loike.

The 6th year..

Today marks our 6th year of marriage..Happy anniversary baby :)

I do have a lot to thank you for, sayang..Thank you for:

~ tak demand home cooked food masa saya sibuk dgn minggu exam, bekerja 19 hari tanpa breaks in between
~ tolong kemas kertas2 bersepah atas katil bila saya tertido sambil buat kerja, dan tarikkan selimut utk saya
~ selalu urutkan kaki saya
~ bagi saya extra setengah jam utk tido walaupun saya suruh kejut konon nak buat keje, dan kadang2 tak kejut pun (sbb fed up dah berkali2 kejut saya tak bangun2 :P) sbb awak lagi suka saya rest dan tido dari nengok keje tu
~ menadah telinga dengar saya bebel tak puas hati dgn keje/orang sekeliling saya
~ tapaukan makanan apa yg saya nak
~ redha makan je apa yg saya masak, sedap ke tidak ke..:P
~ menyayangi saya seadanya (walaupun kadang2 awak kata saya paksa kawin..sian aku)
~ bagi remote kat saya bila saya nak tengok citer2 yg awak menyampah - Awan Dania, Desperate Housewives, Amazing Race, Biggest Loser..etc
~ bagi surprises when I least expected it
~ belikan saya aiskrim bila awak balik keje/dari memancing walaupun saya tak suruh(tapi B sejak pindah rumah baru dah tak buat punnnn :P )

I think I could never thank you enough..
Love you B, always and forever.
Moga jodoh kita kekal ke akhir hayat. AMIN

Where is everybody?

Seriously, where is everybody? Blog2 semua tak berhapdate... hmpphh

Ni semua penangan Facebook ler nih..

Wah, wah..speak for yourself la Amy :P

Orang2 Selangor sekelian, have a nice long weekend. Like what Pijah mentioned in her FB, orang Selangor dah tak yah keje Jumaat dah tahun ni :). Am taking half day leave this Friday (have to work while you orang Selangor semua still sleeping..tsk tsk) and off to Kuantan after Friday prayers for a friend's wedding in Kuantan on Saturday, insyallah.

Owh, and it's her birthday today :). Happy birthday Aisha, thanks for being a loyal reader. Moga panjang umur dan murah rezeki selalu. Selamat menempuh alam perkahwinan, it's not gonna be a bed of roses all the time but it's a fun new journey to get to know each other better.

This coming Sunday also marks my 6th year wedding anniversary. That shall be a new post of it's own. Later!

The short weekend

Memang rasa pendek je weekend ni :)

Well, I've met him and talked/discussed about the work structure. I think I'm just going to go ahead and send the CV first. And only decide once I get the offer letter, that is if they think I'm worth to be interviewed la, tak leh la confident sgt kan? Pikir lama2 pun buat sakit kepala je. I'll deal with it when the time comes.

My brother held a birthday party for Akif who will turn two on 11th December. Party was held Saturday, saja buat awal kut. Abang pun invite jiran2 dan my family and my SIL's family je. Akif was being his cheeky self, rasa nak pulas2 je tinger dan pipi dia tu. Lasak sungguh! Now dah mula cakap sket2, tak la faham sgt butir apa dia cakap, tapi dia pakai bahasa isyarat gak, tunjuk2 pakai tangan..haha comel, Angah geram! Below are pictures during the party and a video of him. Susah nak dpt dia senyum, dia lari kalau suruh dia posing. Tak macam abangnya, Adam.

Sunday morning I asked my sis to accompany me to 'J.om Heboh'..hehe tak tau angin apa but teringin nak rasa pegi J.om Heboh, lagipun it's the last tour of the year and it was held in Bkt Jalil. Alang-alang aku dah duduk sini and Tiyah pun nak pegi office jap, so aku ajak le. Mmm kaki sakit lagi, so jalan pun dengkit2..nothing much pun, or maybe because I went early in the morning. Drop by H.otfm and nampak I.khwan, there were supposed to be others tapi tak sampai lagi, so Tiyah and decided to take gedix picture with him and left.

Hihi, comel I.khwan ni :P

Ada dah update nehh.. :)

Finally, an update kan? :P Sorry la for the long hiatus.. demam exam dah abis, tunggu demam seterusnya mid December ni. Sakit dah badan2 ni, imagine keje for 19 days without any breaks in between..mana tak sakit kaki :)

I have a lot to update, rindu gak rasanya tak update sini. Yes, been updating my status kat FB tapi yg ringkas2 je..here is where I usually pour my heart out :). I shall warn you readers that this will be a long post. And hope to update more often after this, insyallah.

So, where should I start? Kena backdated la ye. Work has been so-so la. Baru je dpt bonus, tak banyak pun, bayor 2 kali lak tu...erm ada la rasa bitter sket. And I've got news to share, erm more on nak tanya opinions you all, la. More of it at the end of this post nanti. Biar saya citer2 yg best2 dulu.

As per my previous posts, November was the birthday month for both Hubby and me. And I've posted on his surprise for me. Two of my closest friends, Ros and Aje decided to have our own birthday celebration on 7/11. Ros share the same birth date with me while Aje is on 14/11. It was held in Ros' house, just the three of us :). Tapi bersembang kuat macam ada 10 orang dlm rumah tu :P. Ros prepared yummylicious baked macaroni while Aje baked her own moist choc cake and cupcakes and brought it over. Rasa terharu ok. I brought my marinated chicken. Lepas sessi makan, we exchange gifts. I got a nice IKEA mirror and two coffee cups. we plan to do this again and the next date planned is on Christmas Day. We'll see how (aku keje tau korang 26/12 and 27/12..tapi 25/12 tu takde hal la).

I have also planned for a surprise delivery for B's birthday on the 20th Nov. Called Noresh and she agreed to bake cupcakes and have it delivered to B's office in KJ, complete with balloons. Aku gila panic ah hari tu sbb keje tengah berlambak and yet at the same time kept looking at my phone at wondering 'Noresh dah sampai ke belum ni?' Hihihi. I'm more worried that Noresh had to wait for him sbb kadang2 B kalau dah busy he will not pick up the phone, what more if number yg dia tak kenal. Ramalanku benar belaka. Noresh called and told me that B did not picked up the phone. Gosh. So, I called him over and over again (adalah 8-10 kali kut) and when he finally picked up, I had to reka a story (with Noresh's guide of course, aku dah blur gila dah time tu) that a friend of mine need to pass something to me through him as my friend is just nearby to his office. Dia betul2 percaya and he went out to the main gate only to find Noresh greeting him Happy Birthday and ask him to pose with the cupcakes and balloons. Hahaha I soooka. Noresh kata muka B merah padam. Huhu. B told me when he went back to the office, he just walked straight tak toleh kiri kanan sbb dia rasa macam semua org tengok dia haha :)). And he could not hide the balloons in his car as I was the one who sent him off to work that morning, pandai tak saya? :P

Picked him up at work after Maghrib and we head to Pyramid for dinner at Bubba Gump. It was delicious, yeay B happy with my menu choice. Ada chance nak pegi lagi ni :). Added : And malam tu dia dapat hadiah handphone S.ony Eri.csson :P. The night after, we went out with the whole family, my parents, sis, sis in law and my nephews. Abang could not make it as he was still stucked in Penang for work. Dinner ni ada macam-macam in one la - birthdays and bonuses and we had it at our family's favorite restaurant, Sri Th.ai. In the picture below is one of my fav dish - ikan senangin masak cili padi..superb sedap. We ordered three of them fishes..hehe. Baru puas makan satu family, tinggal tulang je :P

Raya Haji was spent in Pahang, tu pun sehari je coz mlm tu dah balik ke KL. B had to work on Saturday. Sempat gak la memakai baju raya yg mak mentua bagi. I spent the Saturday sleeping, konon nak qada' tido sbb keje 19 hari tanpa henti kan? Cuma I didn't get to do the foot spa thingy lagi..malas nak kuar pun ada, malas nak bazir duit yg dah susut pun ada..redha je la. Cuba la tahan sakit dulu.

Monday lepas Raya Haji tu pun masih bercuti. Initial plan is to have lunch with Zied and Rosnah but Ros was caught with demam campak..aiseh..kena la cancel plan. Hope she'll be better soon. Sambil melayan DVD and mata nak terkatup tu, Aje sms-ed me..dia sedang 'gigih' belajar utk exam and asked whether I want to join her for lunch.. semestinya nak! :P She picked me up and we end up in Italiann.ies, Pyram.id. And seperti biasa, makan (gambar makanan ada kat Aje!), sembang sampai la petang. End up beli groceries kat G.iant. Apakah? Yg best lepas beli groceries, pekena aiskrim mahal tapi sedap kat B.askin Ro.bbins :). Oh btw, saya dah rasa dah Krisp.y Kreme doughnuts masa pegi dinner dgn B ari tu. Hmm personally I think I prefer J.Co ler. Tetapp, kan?

Rumah wise, ok..jiran sebelah dah nak pindah kut, lepas major renovation..santekk rumah dia, ada lampu tanam2 kat porch..rasa kerdil je rumah I sebelah dia. Dia dah buat tembok ganti pagar sebelah, fully at her expenses, siap catkan my side lagi :P. Yg sebelah kiri ni je tak buat apa2 pun, tak nampak batang hidung langsung. Tak nak duduk kut..tapi tak bagi sewa pun? Tah la. I plan to have some grasses la kat compound seciput tu, tapi bila nak pegi beli ni? Bila plak nak menjaganya...I sooo hate gardening tau..rasa nak letak je pokok bunga plastic kat laman tu...tak bleh eh? :)

Watched Bigg.est L.oser Asia last night..rasa macam tak puas hati je. Naper pilih 30, then eliminate the other 14 simply by one challenge and lepas tu trainer pilih based on their enthusiasm in doing that challenge? Macam tak fair je. Dah la challenge tu bukan on sapa paling pantas ke, like ok the fastest 16 will be selected, baru le ada motivasi sket kan. Ni just nak tengok determination je, which is something that can be fake ler. And bengang ok dah terpilih, bleh tak nak plak and nak kuar..sheesh. Rasanya diaorang akan panggil balik tak the other 14 tu to replace the spot that the guy left? Hihi emo aku bila tengok reality shows ni :P

Ok, dah nak sampai end post. MMm, actuallynya tengah rasa tak baper happy pasal keje. I don't mind the relocation tapi I want something certain and definite. Pernah tak rasa macam kena campak dlm lubang yg besar dan hitam? *sigh* Tak nak la elaborate pepanjang kan, tapi at the same time, my old colleague from my previous company dah start tanya (for the third time) whether I'm interested to join back the company now that they have reshuffle the whole dept and he had become the department head. The first two times that he asked, aku dgn confident jawab 'No la, I'm happier now' tapi this third time ni, naper aku nak consider? Is it a sign that I'm no longer happy? We haven't talk on the details yet but am going to meet him one of these days, just to get some idea what is expected from me and to what extend they're willing to offer..semua cakap mulut je la dulu. So, kalau korang camner? sanggup ke balik ke company lama? Aku ni bukan jenis risk taker..so agak rasa cuak la, what if keje baru pun tak menjadi? Sesuai ke dlm umur ini dan keadaan ekonomi macam ni nak bermain dgn api?

Bawah ni gambar yg tak relevant, some random pictures masa my nephews dtg umah mama..dah mak Ngah nya sibuk buat keje kat meja makan, diaorg pun nak gak join, sampai meniarap atas meja..eeeei


Ok sekian..puas hati aku dpt update panjang2 :P

Selamat Hari Raya AidilAdha

Selamat Hari Raya Haji, enjoy the long weekend and drive carefully, ok?

Today is the last day of exam, bliss! Can't wait for today to be over. And I shall update more often lepas ni, banyak gila overdue posts..stay tuned! :)
