Non-Shopaholic

During last Thursday's public holiday, my hubby ajak pegi shopping at sunway pyramid..and i didn't know it's SALES :D..hubby needed to get some things for him and I wanted to get working pants....ONLY..well of course after I went to the shoes department, I couldn't resist myself. I bought a pair of shoes...ermm..no..actually i bought 2 pairs of shoes..one formal(i just google to check what my type of shoe is called and it's ankle straps shoes) and one casual la..and the black working pants..there was a grey pants which I tried on and I really liked it..but I told myself to choose between the black and grey..so i choose the black..planning to get the grey pants some other time..which is next month??..hehe..well I didn't shop unnecessarily..I really need the working pants since I wear pants to work as much as I wear baju kurung...and the ankle straps shoes is something I have been wanting to get but haven't found the right one for me...and when i found it with the right design and is just bout 1 or 1 1/2 inch, i bought it though it wasn't on sale..and the casual shoes plak..well i just love flat shoes..hmm all these reminds me of the latest Shopaholic book series, Mini Shopaholic which I have already complete reading it last Friday..Now, I'm wondering...Am I becoming  Becky the Shopaholic?..Naahhh, I know I'm not..Still under control ok..hehe...speaking about Mini Shopaholic, this book continues to make me laugh...even my hubby gives me looks when I laugh to myself reading it..It's hilarious and funny..How not to laugh...


PS:Today started to use the ankle strap shoes to work..feels like my feet aches wearing it....Having a BIG feet is such a problem..urgghhhhh!!

To my soon-to-be-married-loose-cousin

I read my cousin's blog often now. It's nice to read about what she writes on her wedding prepration..and she actually updates every single thing..from wedding clothes to getting the surat nikah signed..it's good to see how things are going on well for her..and I pray to Allah hope that she will lead a happy,prosperous life with her soon-to-be-hubby..I don't think I'm the right person to advice her on marriage life since my marriage has just turned 4 months old few days ago...I;m still new at this too...anyway,  I still want to say few things to you, cousin..all i want you is to be prepared for your life that's going to change totally..marriage life has it's ups and downs..once you're marriage, you status don't just change to "wife" but also daughter in law, sister in law, etc..be prepared to take hold of the responsibilities(don't worry, Insya Allah you will be able too)..prepared to share every single thing with your husband..respect, tolerate, love and care..you should have this towards your hubby and same goes for him..and remember no one is perfect..and don't have expectations and you will be less disappointed(this one my hubby said to me before our marriage)..prepared to accept your in laws just like your family...there definitely will be certain things which you may not like..but you must be patient with everything..and never ever say anything without thinking twice..think wisely before saying some thing..especially to your hubby..just be sure not to hurt him or anyone..just smile, be happy, show your love and care to your hubby and in laws..don't bother what other people say or think because at the end of the day, it's going to be just you and him(this one also my hubby said to me before our marriage..hehe)..Insya Allah with both your parents blessings and Allah's blessings, both of you will have a happy life together...and jgn pendam everything inside..if there';s anything, talk to someone whom you can trust...and I think the best person to talk to is mother..mum always knows what to say and understands better than anyone else and will keep secrets..hehe..so just go with the flow, have faith and pray to Allah..my dearest loose cousin, i conclude by saying...WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND HAVE FUN!!! ;p



PS: i think this is the 2nd entry i'm writing about you..seeeee..you have such a nice, wonderful cousin..the BEST cousin in the world..:p

No Appetite

Yesterday, one of our vendor took us for lunch at Pizza Hut..you have no idea how much I love pizza besides MCD...since last week, I don't have appetite to eat...I get hungry but after few spoons of food, I feel want to puke and i couldn't eat more..so I have  tried having one of my favorite food which is pizza..and the feeling is still the same.. the smell of the pizza itself makes me wanna puke..even the image of the MCD prosperity burgers on TV makes me wanna vomit too!!..can you imagine that..being a MCD lover and feeling this way is totally abnormal to me :P...much to my surprise,my boss agreed to belanja Kak L, Zam, and I secret recipe cakes..and 3 of us favorite secret recipe cake is chocolate indulgence..Sadly,I  forced myself to finish the cake but could only take half of it and threw away the remaining :(...I found out I'm able to take milo, cream crackers and my tongue is itching for sour taste like lime, asam..all these sounds like something right..but then for some reason it can't be happening right now..after..hmm...just not putting any hope into it..and trying not to think about it too much..Insya Allah, soon it will happen :)..anyway this wanna-vomit-feeling was really making me uneasy..so after days of struggling, it seems like my appetite is back to normal..since last night's dinner..after eating sardin sambal...my father in law cooked it and it tasted really good..wasn't spicy but it had the sour taste..so maybe that's why i was able to eat last night..even for today's breakfast, i had egg sandwich and a piece of the "green roll kuih with gula melaka coconut filling" ( i don't know what you call it la) and there was no puke feeling!..so I guess it's already okay now..have to see how it goes for the next few days..by the way, if you're wondering about my father in law cooking, yeah, he cooks..and he's a good cook..his specialty is briyani..super sedap!!..a must try :D)

Memories of the Past-Good and Bad

While I was stuck in the traffic jam this morning, I was listening to THR raaga and the song "Indian Gals" by Yogi B and Natchatra was playing. right away my mind did a query and connect to my "brain database" and found the accurate memory data( not sure what with this programming language :P)...Rewinding my mind back to university years...I remembered when I was on stage with one of my bestie, V2 and some bunch of other unknown indian gals joining Yogi B and Natchatra singing "Indian Gals"...It was actually some function held by Tenaga Nasional Indian community...The organizers wanted a team consists of Malay, Indian and Chinese to be in charge during the function..so V2 asked me and another friend of mine to be the usherer and we we were advised to dress up in traditional clothes-baju kurung..okay  I was excited because I liked this band and they were so famous at that time..so watching them performing live was a really nice experience. moreover the people who attended were families of Tenaga Nasional staffs. so it was basically a very decent crowd..but what I didn't expect was,  to be dragged by my friend to go on stage with the performers. I was like, NO!...dah la pakai baju kurung...i guess they needed multiracial group of gals on the stage as well..haha..when I realize, I was already on the stage...adui!..I was so relieved when the song ended and I quickly went down the stage stairs..I do like their songs la but being on stage while they singing..ishhh..will never let such thing happen again..didn't tell anyone about this either..haha..anyway I don't go to concerts so I won't have problems like these anymore..hehe....whenever i hear this song on radio, I will remember this event..what I miss, is the moments I spent with my friends..Fun and enjoyable..there are a lot of sweet memories...I missed all those so much..missed the times when me, Asy and Azah took a cab and when to watch ocean's 11( or was it 12??) and that was the first and last I'm seating on the front row..my neck got cramped after that..missed when  my friends and I bought food and shared with each other..missed the gossips..missed listening to Raghav's song(introduced to me by miss Asy)..missed the first time going for midnight show..missed study group(it was more like a gossip group..haha)..missed walking to class which was not a near distance..missed celebrating all of my friends birthday...missed the food in UP10(seriously, yes)..missed that burger stall that sold very delicious, scrumptious cheese burger with black pepper sauce..missed having conversation with Klai over the microphone when she was just staying next room to mine..haha..missed downloading songs and movies from the local intranet websites( there were so many local intranet websites created by my university students.you could get all those latest movies, clear copy!..and songs from english to arabic, korean, etc..)..missed etc, etc, etc..there are so many la..and these is on uni life..I haven't' mention form 6 life...acting in a school drama for the first time, choir singing-on ABBA songs..holding high posts in school clubs( and people actually knew who I was..kinda famous la unlike when I was in lower secondary..haha)...catching insects for Biology project( that was really fun! and speaking about these insects catching, this was when my "wonderful" friends knocked at Mr.S's house, just to see how he looks like..haha..my form 6 friends will know what I'm talking about here)...and then etc,etc,etc..all these puts a smile on my face..makes me laugh to myself..but of course behind all those good, sweet, funny and wonderful memories, there are bad, "disaster" ones...thinking about that now, there were certain things that I wish I didn't do or I didn't say or didn't happen..but I'm just a normal human being.. I made lots of mistakes..but mistakes which I didn't and will never repeat again..mistakes that taught me to be wiser and made me a better person..so in a way I;m glad I made those mistakes..I'm glad for those bad memories..like the saying goes, "Ada hikmah di sebalik setiap kejadian"...So here I am now, with all these memories in mind that have helped me to pull through everything and keeps me going..enjoying every past memories and every moment..:)

Chef of the day

goes to Mr.HUBBY!!!...LOL..Yesterday, for dinner, i called mr. hubby and informed him that I will cook tonight. Even though the day before we ate fish for lunch and dinner, i had to cook fish again since that's what's left in the fridge.. minutes later, he called and said to put back the fish in the fridge. I asked why. and he said, "baru semalam makan ikan, so i'll come and cook sambal ikan bilis..i'm already on my way back home"..I hung up with surprise feeling..my hubby is going to cook..fuyooo!..hehe..he was already back at home by 7.15pm, did some light exercise(he's trying his level best to trim his tummy), took his bath and went downstairs to the kitchen. after taking my bath, I went to the kitchen and he was busy peeling onions. I noticed he already soak the ikan bilis@anchovies in water. I was watching him preparing the sambal ikan bilis with full interest. He put whatever spices are there in the kitchen(fish curry powder, meat curry powder, etc). According to him, that's what he does..The ingredients were like a rojak!..He kept saying, "I don't know if it tastes nice..if it's not sorry la ye"...and then he said, "I never had any spectators watching me cooking..and now when i do, rase lain lak..hehe..I guess he is uncomfortable with me watching him. though he said he's ok with me being there while he's cooking, i decided to leave the kitchen and dry the clothes instead..After drying the clothes, I went to the kitchen again and he asked me 2 taste it..and not bad!!..not bad at all..it tasted nice..waited a while for the sambal to be fully cooked and then all of us had dinner together..I have to give credits to my hubby whom is willing to cook..most men will never do that..appreciate it syg!..looking forward 2 taste sambal sardin made by you!..hehe :P

Backdated

It's been 2 weeks since I last updated my blog..nothing much happened..just the usual thing..wake up in the morning, go to work, come back..and then weekend comes..and then it's back to the same old rutin..only difference now is that my life has became a part of him :)...our recent activities was the cinema and bowling...okay, it wasn't easy to persuade Mr.Hubby to go for bowling...his sister and husband was like "jom la jom la.." until die terpaksa agree to follow them..hehe..so off 4 of us and the family's first princess(his sister's baby :) went to the bowling alley in sunway pyramid..Mr. Hubby was not that bad in bowling...malu plak I whom have played bowling many times performed really bad on that day..sampai masuk longkang more than 3 times...hahaha..

Above is what I was supposed to post on the 3/12/10..that's like 1 month ago!!..and the entry tergantung!..I didn't finish what I wanted to say..Wow, am I that busy?..Seriously, I don't know..Sometimes I don't have time or mood to surf the net when I get back home from work..Not like there are too many chores to do..just the usual things which i used to do during the weekends: washing clothes and ironing. and that's not like everyday..or maybe I'm getting lazier..haha...or maybe i prefer to lay on bed, rest and wait for him to come back home...thinking of him..I still smile to myself whenever I look at him...It gives me "love at the first sight" feeling each time :)....well, that;s when I'm not upset or mad at him..haha..anyway, so there are many things I want to update-parents returning from Haj, vacation to mine and hubby's village in India, attending cousin's wedding over there, etc etc etc...so hopefully lah after this I will spend some time on my dearest blog :)
