Open-ing the house

it has been almost 9 months we stayed here
and we barely have any guest around
accept for both side of the family, mak teh, and maklang's family

itu pon they came mase awal2 kitorg pindah dulu
mak came on end of January,

raya kali ini

di rumah keluarga mertua...

coz it happens that kak anim, my SIL is spending her raya at her in law in Kelantan
so cam kesian mak, takkan nk biar dia beraya dgn 2 anak bujang je
so decide to spend mlm raya di sini

so here I am, di Rinting
any difference? ade laaa sikit
kalau sblm2 ni, kt umah sendiri
biasa mlm raya mmg kt umah je
sbb usually ayah akan bertugas utk baca khutbah raya
then lepas tu dlm kol 10, baru blk pontian

menu pagi raya pon sempoi je
kekadang bolognaise, kekadang nasi lemak, or nasi minyak
takde laaa nk masak rendang ke ketupat ke, lodeh ke
sbb tau nnt blk pontian, menu raya mmg dh fixed
so tak payah mengada nk rajin masak mcm2

tapi kt umah in law ni
and ni pon kebetulan mokteh and family raya sini
so cam meriah laaaa
jap gi nk rebus ketupat
then sedia bahan utk wat lauk pauk raya yg mcm2 tu
things yg i tak penah experience unless bermlm raya kt pontian
hihihi...excited gak nih
plus diorg nyalakan pelita kt dpn umah
nampak cam meriah
katanye nk main mercun
tp tunggu the heroes blk dr shopping ape ntah....

so sementara tunggu diorg blk ni,
tu yg i update
oh yes....
being 8 month pregnant, makes me realize, how 'prego' I am
I mean, selama ni, walaupon pregnant,
I am still active
jln sana sini, laju je
siap bile dgr org kata diorg pregnant cam lembik or susah nk tido or skt kaki
i mcm....eh..I tak rase camtu pon
except skt kaki laaa..bile dh jln lama, of cos sakit kan

tapiiiiiiiiiii...sejak a couple of days b4 i hit 8 months,
segala sakit tu dtg
tak payah la nk mimpi tawaf shopping berejam
kasi 30 minit pon i dh dok cari kerusi
kompem buku lali mmg dh tak nampak

semalam lagi laaaa
for the first time, I cried coz i can't sleep
the thing is, i batuk...
last thursday, ade sekali tu, I batuk tanpa dpt control myself
batuk yg kuat gile, sampai i rase urat yg dekat dgn va jay jay tu, mcm ditarik/terputus
sumpah.....Im not exagerating, tp tu yg i rase
and eversince then, setiap kali dr duduk ke berdiri,
tulang dkt va jay jay tu, rase sengal sgt
skt betol.....tu yg i smlm tak bole tido
smpai menangis sebab no position is comfortable
nk pusing pon susah sbb tulang tu skt....
hubs pujuk2 pon tak jln...
tp ntah camne, dpt gak i tido nyenyak pas tu
n now, masih skt...redha je laaa
nmpak nye, I akan beraya dgn berkeadaan sgt 'mengandung'

even my little sis baru smlm ckp
"akak dh nmpak mcm perempuan mengandung"
 I was like...."I've been pregnant for the past 8 month, baru skrg girl nk ckp gitu??"
she said "xde laaa...now only i see u walk like one...u know...terkengkang gitu...."
pfffffttttt
yes i admit, i tend tu mengengkang a bit
entah eh.....itu lg cam selesa
malas nk pikir cantik ke hape dh

and lately, I asek ade instinct I akan deliver awal
cuakkkkkk wooooo
tu yg bag baby dh siap dlm kete
but i couldnt find the time yet to scrutinize exactly ape yg perlu ade dlm bag tu
i just pack ape yg i rase perlu
tgk la nnt, ade masa, I compare dgn list m2b lain

eh eh...
byk pulak update ni
dari raya, cite psl preganncy
ni laa ibu mengandung kan
raya pon dh tak kesah sgt
asik pikir anak je.....
:)

Semangat Raya!

Yuhuuuu
Tetibe semangat nk raya dh dtg…
WHY?
Sbb dh beli baju raya!!!!
And satu kuih raya selamat dibuat
Huhuhu

Last wiken balik Kempas as usual
Dgn penuh semangat, otw tu, singgah Tesco Plentong
Konon nk jenguk First Lady
Coz kwn hubs kata baju melayu lelaki kt sana murah

Sekali, hampeh jeeeee
Tak selera I tgk baju yg ronyok seribu tu
Kaler pon tak byk choice
In terms of design lak, hmmmmm…
Bersulam, ade pesen2 sikit
Mmg bukan taste hubs laaaa

So round punye round
Dari satu kedai ke satu kedai
Gi la Tewah (x silap laaa)
Byk jubahhh
Murah2 lak tu…from 60++
Design pon not bad

Nk dijadikan cerita, weols mmg dh plan nk beli baju kaler biru
Sekali harung utk wedding kakak nnt
Theme dia royal blue
Tp i confuse, kitorg yg family ni kene pakai royal blue jugak or any tones of blue
Sbb kain baju melayu ayah tak silap kaler turquoise
So utk mengelakkan kesilapan, I beli 1 jubah yg bukan biru
Amik kaler itam, sulam purple
Ni kire utk 2nd baju raya la

Yela…cuti raya seminggu
badan dh gini, xkan prepare 1 baju je kan
ari yg lain tu nk pakai ape??
Mane muat dh nk pakai baju2 thn lepas…
Masa dok fitting jubah2 tu pon agak depress dgn badan sendiri
Dh mcm penguin dah…-____-
Hubs dok gelakkan jeeeee

Then masuk tesco,
beli bahan² utk wat cookies
then terus balik
otw blk tu boleh pulak jam
smpai umah mama around 11 plus
penat!

Esok nye, after sahur,
Berkelentang kelentung dgn girl kt dapur,
wat chocolate cookies
selalunye kitorg buat bajet 100pcs je
tp thn ni, wat lebih…double kan terus
ye la…utk umah mak and umah I lagi…

Alhamdulillah, menjadi cookies nye
I try pakai resepi yg kononnye mcm Famous Amos tu
Tapi tak sama pon…
Tapi sedap je to us….
Cume a bit too keras for hubs liking
Takpe…biar I je habiskan….hehehehe

Ahad tu, dh plan dgn diorg (mama, akak n girl)
Nk gi shopping
Girl insist gi @mart
Coz mama tak pernah gi

So ke sana la kami
Dlm kol 11 baru gi
Bagus…tak sesak mcm angsana….
In terms of choice, baju kurung, mmg sgt banyak
Macam2 pesen…bling2 bagai
Tp dgn dh 30 weeks ni, kem slm je la nk belek baju kurung

We went separate ways
Mama, akak n girl jln sendiri
Me n hubs, round cari baju melayu dia
Jumpe yg disukai
Cutting and material dia sgt cun!
Harga pon ok laaa
Takdela murah sgt, and tak dela mahal sgt
Tapi mmg berpatutan la dgn bajunye
Org kata, the same baju, at angsana,
Diorg mark up harga sampai extra 50 hinggit!
Humakaihhhhh

Dh setel beli baju dia,
mule la cari baju utk i pulak
memang konon nk sepasang la
tapi takde yg berkenan

sekali receive a call from girl
die mintak gi satu kedai ni coz dia tgh test baju
nk mintak opinion
sekali tgk, design mmg cantik
and kaler yg dia pilih tu, sebijik ngan kaler baju melayu hubs!
Muahahahahha
Tak boleh jadi ni
Terus ckp ngan hubs, by hook or by crook, my baju mesti sebijik jugak
Hahahahahah

Balik dr @mart tu, kitorg pon terus cekout
Otw balik tu, singgah semula Tesco Plentong
Cari jubah I kt kedai yg sama
Alhamdulillah, jumpe kaler yg sebijik,
Design pon cantik, size pon ade
So terus amik
Malas nk pikir panjang

So, itu la saja shopping raya kami
Eh, tp tudung belom beli
Takpe, kalau malas nk cari, pakai je tudung yg ade

Btw, balik tu, kaki ku, membengkak!
Jari tgn pon dh puffy
Maka at 30 weeks, I’m officially mengembang dgn jayanya
Hohohhohoho

Masalahnye, kalau setakat mengembang takpe,
ni jari rasa kebas je
tp i read, its common la kan
I did checked my BP, normal je
So InsyaAllah, bukan pre-eclampsia ke ape
Just parts and parcel of being 7 months+ pregnant
:)

Time flies

Real Fast!!!!

as today, Aug 11th, marks 8 monthversary for us
8 bulan sudaaaa yoooo
kejap je rase
mcm baru smlm dok plan wedding

our dear little one ni pon,
dh nk masuk 30 weeks by this saturday
oh my my
means by end of next month, dh 36 weeks = 9 months!
suda ade potensi utk dilahirkan
can't wait to see you my dear!!!!

nothing special pon arini
infact, i don't think he remembers today's date
tapi arini rasa cam semangat skit
igt nk masak utk buka nnt
msk simple je
coz buka pon sorg je
he wont be back till after 8

so, celebrate sendiri sudaaaaa
sedey..... -______-

1st Ramadhan

It’s the second day of Ramadhan this year
And so far, it wasn’t really smooth sailing,
But I’m hanging on

Semalam kan cuti 1st Ramadhan for Johor
So Ahad tu, balik dari KL,
we decided to sleepover kt Kempas
kira sahur sana laaa

as usual, 4.30, I bangun, and whip up dishes utk sahur for the whole family
dibantu oleh girl laaa
kesian dia…pas ni dia kene masak sorang² pagi²
takpe..she can do it punye!

Btw, I managed to cooked lemak timun, fried chicken wings, telur dadar and sambal belacan for the first sahur
Simple, tapi sedap amat….
Alhamdulillah

After solat subuh, we decided to make a move
By 6.45, sampai umah,
Set the washing machine to run at 11am
Terus pengsan dua²
Mana taknye, penat travel dr KL tak hilang lagi
Tak cukup tidur pun
I’ll share on the KL trip bits later

Tapi tu pon maybe penat teramat, I tido tak bape lena
Kejap² terjaga
Last², kol 12.30 dua² terjaga
Tapi sambung golek² sampai azan zohor
I know, tak elok tido lama² time puasa, tapi mmg keletihan gile

After mandi and solat,
I sidai baju and did some ironing
Setakat 2 pasang for hubs and me each
Tapi letih dia, mcm org lari marathon 5km
Dada berdebar semacam (infact ni as I type pon I felt the same)
I’m not sure mmg penat, or effect of lapar
Mmg ade rase lapar, tapi I rase mcm boleh tahan

So I terus baring
Sempat terlena dekat sejam,
Bangun solat asar, then siap² nk buka kt umah Mak (MIL) pulak
Sblm tu, sempat singgah Tesco, beli beras
Then singgah PaRam Tmn Rinting
Beli lauk ayam masak merah je
Entah eh, tak bape lalu sgt tgk makanan byk² smlm

Mak pon tak masak sgt
Banyak beli dari PaRam je
Hasilnye, ade ayam percik, asam pedas ikan sembilang, murtabak, sata and air katira
Alhamdulillah
Semua habis

After buka tu, rest jap,
Solat maghrib, then siap² gi terawih
Alhamdulillah, dpt jugak terawih kali ni
Its our first as married couple…rase sgt special…
Walau dapat buat 8 rakaat je
Itu pon, rase cenoneng skit

And pagi tadi, kami sahur di rumah sendiri
Hubs biasanya tak sahur pon
Tapi bak kata mak, kalau ade makanan depan mata, diorang ni mkn je.. ;)
Pagi tadi i buat egg sandwich for myself
And fried some chicken nuggets and milo for him
Nampaknya, sahur ringan sebegitu is not gonna work for me
Cos by 11 am tadi, I dah mula rase lembik

Therefore, lesson learnt la kan
Mmg takde shortcut laaa
I need rice for sahur
So pas ni, harus pastikan merajinkan diri utk masak,
Walau setakat telur gorang and kicap pon
InsyaAllah



p/s: I really prayed hard that I could get through this ramadhan successfully.

3rd Tri, Clogged Ear, Fun Teluk Ramunia, Bruised JMU

I’m officially in the final Trimester now!
yippppeeeeeeeee

Can’t believe how fast time flies now
Seems like it was yesterday I did the UPT
And now, looking at the ‘cute’ bulge on my tummy, I’m blessed

I didn’t know that 3rd trimester starts at 27 weeks
I thought it should be in 28/30 weeks
Till I read the weekly newsletter I got from BaiBoo in my mail
That goes “Well, the third and final trimester of your pregnancy has started!”
My oh my!!!!

Well
I’ve nothing much to update on my pregnancy so far
Just am anxiously waiting for the fasting month next week
I get very thirsty nowadays (it’s the weather rite?)
I hope it’d get better next month, or else, I’ll try my very best to endure it

One thing though, my right ear is very much clogged for at least one week now
It has been on and off ever since then
But today, it got worst!
Usually, if I shake it up a bit, it will unclog
But this morning, after several attempts, no improvement

So now, I’m waiting for the in-house doctor to come and check
There’s no pain, apart of slight headache
But it got so irritating because I’m totally depending on my left ear to hear
So every time my colleagues talks to me, they have to make sure they are on my left
Or else, I’ll be like “I beg you pardon” over and over again
Malu!!!!

Btw, just got back from a mini-family gathering of MIL’s side at Teluk Ramunia
It’s a 2d1n thing
It was really fun!
I really enjoyed myself over the weekend there

The beach was real nice, soft sands! Love love love!
Of course the water is not as blue as those in redang or tioman
But it’s clear enough that you could see your own feet

Had a fair share of dipping myself in the sea
And of course swam my heart out in the pool
Aha! We have a pool in our apartment
But somehow, I couldn’t find the time to get down there
Plus I felt quite embarrassed to wear a the swimwear while prego in public (1001 alasan)

But in Teluk Ramunia, I went all out
Cause the pool has no proper dress-code! Yeay!!!!
So I just put on my tights and an oversized shirt and there I off I went!

The little one loves it too!
It squirms and kicks when I did the breaststroke
But face a bit of difficulty on the backstroke though
Perhaps due to ‘overweight’ on my belly part…teehee
Felt really good and revitalize after each session
Love!

Oh yeah
Another important note,
Our dear JMU got ‘bruised’ again yesterday at our apartment
Got knocked and scratched by a man in a wira who reversed from the parking lot
Without noticing hubs driving on the road
And scratched the front passenger’s door right to the back door
I wasn’t around when it happened though
Cos it happened when hubs got back from his weekly jog session
While I’m at home, erm…..napping… -____-

Hubs weren’t in a good mood since then
He got better when he’s around his family
But when it’s just me and him,
He turned into someone who’s totally devastated and refused to talk
I totally understand how emotionally wrecked he is
as it’s the second hit in 2 weeks time!

But the way he reacts, it seems like I’m the one who’s at fault
I’m trying my best to be as rational as I could in this kind of situation
I do hope things could get better

Above all that
I’m thankful that he’s ok
What if he got into a (much) worst accident?
What if he gets hurt?
I couldn’t imagine if that ever to happen
Alhamdulillah, Allah still protects us
He just gave us some gentle/friendly “reminder”, to be more careful, and of course, thankful too

6 Months!!!

Hari ni rasa macam nk update

hey hey
esok genap 6 bulan kami diakadkan (and our little one turns 21 weeks/5m1w)
tp takde satu pon cerita majlis kami yg I share kt sini
setiap kali nk wat review, rasa malas
ala...majlis kami pon biasa2 jee
nothing much to talk about
tapi cukup meriah utk meraikan kami
takpela...satu hari nnt, agak2 rajin, I’ll post about it k

6 months along in this courtship,
Seperti pasangan lain, we had our ups and downs
Marriage life ni mmg sgt mencabar
Bukan setiap saat kita akan gembira/tertawa
Ade masa mmg happy…teramat happy
Lagi bila fikir yg orang yg kita dok gurau senda siang mlm, yg buat kita tertawa tu ialah suami
Suami….sebut perkataan tu pon cam meremang je rase
Of course, ade jugak masa2 bila emosi terganggu, jiwa tercalar, kes2 merajuk
Itu biasa la kan…adat berumah tangga
Tapi bila dh kawin ni, nk gaduh lama2 pon tak boleh...
Sebelom tidur, mesti nk berbaik
Orang tu jugak laah yg dicari buat bantal pelok mlm kang 

On another note, Tanggungjawab yg dipikul semenjak the moment kita diijabkabul tu, sgtlah byk
Kalau dulu, nk buat ape2, buat jeeee…tak payah pikir2 pasal org lain
But now, once you’re someone’s wife, suami adalah yg yang terpenting
Nk beli pape, kene pikir, suami suka tak eh?
Nk gi mana, mesti minta izin suami
Nk buat sesuatu, kene pikir maruah suami
Ape pon, suami jugak dlm fikiran

Tak kira lah penat mana masa bekerja, bila balik, mesti dok piker, nk masak ape utk suami mlm ni
To those yg tak tahu memasak, to me, tu semua alasan
Semua orang tahu memasak…infact, lelaki pon tahu memasak
Tapi MALAS jeeee…. (mcm my hubs….heeee)
Girls…..it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to be able to cook
Tapi it takes a lot of experience to be a good cook
Nampak tak beza kt situ….tahu masak VS pandai masak
Cari je lah resepi kt google tu
My fav spot utk cari resepi is at Myresipi.com
Cube je laaa mana2 yg agak menarik dan berkenan di hati

Percayalah, kebanyakan suami (especially yg baru kawin) tak kesah pon ape yg isteri nya masak
Yg penting, dia dpt rase sendiri masakan home cook isterinya
Tak kesah lah kalau hanya nasi berlaukkan telur goreng dan kicap
Itu dh sgt sedap berbanding hari2 dok mkn kt kedai mamak

And so far, Alhamdulillah, I’m able to cook for my husband
And yg paling buat makin bersemangat, bila dia memuji (kalau sedap) or even blurted a simple ‘thank you’ for the dish
I mengaku, not everyday I dapat masak, lagi2 dgn keadaan yg berbadan dua ni
But I did try to every other day….
at least seminggu tu ade la air tangan I yg mengenyangkan my hubs…

Speaking of berbadan dua ni, kami teramat bersyukur Ya Allah di atas kurniaanNYA ni
I have a confession…. I did plan to plan (faham tak?)
I pernah tell myself to be ‘kosong’ for at least sebulan
I never mentioned this to my hubs (sorry syg)
Cause he will never agree on this..he loves kids too much…
so do I…but I have some valid reason for feeling so
Therefore, no formal protection or prevention procedure that we follow/used

Bukan I nak menidakkan rezeki Allah
Tapi, bile I fikirkan yg masa awal2 kahwin tu, kami belom dpt betul2 settle down, I jadi risau
Sebulan kami masih tinggal di rumah in law
Hubs already start rented our current apartment, a week before our wedding
Tapi keadaan rumah yg belom lengkap isinya
And financial constrain yg melengahkan kami utk ‘mengisi’ rumah, buat kami makin lambat settle down
So I fikir, if I ever get pregnant too early, nnt mcm mana nk pindah kan?
Nk kemas2 rumah and so on
Sure renyah gile and worst if I mabuk teruk
Kesian pulak hubs kene buat semua sorg2 kan

Alhamdulillah, Allah knows best
I merancang, and Allah menentukan
Niat I dimakbulkan Allah

Tak dinafikan, masa kali kedua ‘my bestfriend’ dtg sejak kahwin on 15 Jan
which happened to be on a day after hubs birthday
masa tu I fikir, kalau I betol pregnant, dpt la I bagi rezeki Allah ni as the best ever birthday gift to hubs kan…of course tu hanya khayalan…. ‘___’
so bila mmg miss P dtg, I risau...I started to doubt myself
Mule terpikir, will I be able to conceive ever? Is there anything wrong with me?
Tp masa tu baru sebulan lebih kawin kot…
Tp gelabah mcm ape jeeee

Kiranya betol2 genap sebulan, I mmg ’kosong’
Cos approximately a month ++ later, bila kami dh hamper sebulan settle down di rumah kami, I disahkan 5 weeks pregnant
Syukur sgt2 masa tu
It was such a perfect timing 

Tapi tu lah, orang baru kawin ni kan
Financially belom berapa stable
Mana nk beli brg umah
Mana nk uruskan hidup
Rase mcm baru semalam ikat perut utk simpan duit nk kawin
Ni dh kene save up utk the little one pulak
Takpe lah, Allah pon dh janji, setiap anak yg lahir, ade rezekinya nnt.. InsyaAllah

Tapi kannnn….dulu, sebelum kawin, sebelum betol2 berniat nk kawin,
I selalu ade mslh duit ni
I mean, i dok laa risau, mana laaa aku nk cekau duit nk buat kawin ni
Mana laaaa nk dpt duit utk hidup after kawin lagi
Byk betol nk pakai duit
Mama siap ckp I ni mcm paranoid..mcm org gila duit… ‘___’

Tapi Alhamdulillah, bila niat kita tu baik, Allah permudahkan
Smpai sekarang, I mcm tak percaya, we managed to get through it
Ye laaa..kami berdua bukan dr keluarga berada
Keje pon biasa2 je….
Nk kata hidup mewah tu, mmg jauh sekali
Tapi belom pernah lah sesak sampai tak makan ke ape kan...syukur

Oh…dh byk melalut
All im saying here,
Im blessed with my life
With this marriage
With a lovely-sometimes annoying-patient-kind-sometimes ignorant-caring life partner

Syg…I know I may not be a perfect wife,
but thank you for accepting me, correcting me, layan kerenah farah yg kadang2 tah pape tu, and most importantly for loving me….
I loff you mucuk! ;p
Happy 6 months!


p/s: I’m not sure if he remember about the 6 months thing…let’s see……
p/p/s: he’s down with fever + flu + cough + asthma for 2 days now…get well soon dear….

The Best Gift on our 2nd Monthversary

and the best part, its specially 'delivered' by Him

Syukur, Alhamdulillah
We're expecting
in another word, we're pregnant
:)

infact, we're hitting the second trimester now
Alhamdulillah
not that i did not want to share the news much earlier,
but first trimester was the toughest and most fragile period in pregnancy
so I'm afraid it would all just be a false alarm or such
but praise to Allah, it went pretty well

here, I'm about to share the moment we received the great news

well, we got to know this a couple of days before our 2nd monthversary
one fine evening, i saw some spotting on my pantiliners
earlier that day, i was busy carrying computers
that time, i'm still with my previous company
little that I knew, that I might be pregnant
hence, the working so hard

but once i saw the spots, it hit me!
maybe I AM pregnant!
did some research, and the possibilities are there
the tender breast
the cramps
the lightheaded and nauseous
yadda yadda
however, at that moment, my period is not due yet!
'____'

nevertheless, as soon as i got home from office that evening,
i did home UPT (Urine Pregnancy Test)
i just couldn't wait till the first pee on the next morning!
geeeeeeeeeeee
and a faint purple line appeared

I did read, if you could see 2 lines,
no matter its a solid or faint line,
it's considered positive.
at that moment, I was so overjoyed, couldn't do anything
kept myself cool n calm,
whipped up a mihun goreng for our dinner
and waited impatiently for my husband's return from office

as he entered the house
I let him settle down
but I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer
and I shoved him the UPT kit
all he could say was "ni ape maksudnye?"
guys....will be guys.... *sigh*
without a word, I showed him the manual
instantly, he screamed!

he just couldn't believe it
however, i did remind him not to get over-excited
as we need to get a practitioner to confirm it
hence, as much as he wanted to ring his mom,
I told him to keep composed
being overjoyed him,
it took him half an hour to actually bring himself to the bathroom for a bath
for the half an hour,
all he did was in and out of our room,
he said he just couldnt think straight
he knew he need to take a bath
but he couldnt remember that the reason he went out is to get his towel
and it took him quite a while to get it!

the next day,
first thing in the morning,
again, I did another UPT
this time, using clearblue
which is more exciting
as it shows the period since you conceived
;)

and with that,
I head to the nearest clinic to confirm
and the rest, is history

18 feb 2011

Its mama's 56th birthday
selamat ulang tahun mama!!!

we had a small celebration last nite
sleepover at anggerik


coincidently, nizam (our WP) just passed me our (long awaited) wedding DVD
however kt umah mama, takde dvd player
yeah! we're that old-fashioned!!!
bahahahha

so, me n sis decided to buy it then and there as mama's birthday gift
mlm tu, we watched it sambil makan birthday cake mama

it's really funny to watch urself on the screen
and hearing ur voice and listening to your 'lame' speeches
rase cam nk sorok muke bawah meja!
bahhahahh

its a good thing though that we got the dvd 2 months after the wedding
so that, when we almost forget about it,
watching the recording, makes it even more vivid
rase cam nk jdi pengantin lagi!!!!
and of course to the same groom! lol
i really missed those moments
rindu sgt2!!!!

oh, on another note,
today marks my last day here in Kem.pas Me.di.cal.Cen.tre
it has been a wonderful 4 years
and I'm ready to move on

bid farewell to most of the staffs,
and its not easy.
they're my first group of colleagues
gonna miss them

to nora,
I'm sorry that I have to leave
but I did this, only when I believe, u can cope
u will!
all the best! :)


p/s: i have 1 freaking week to experience a role of full-time housewife! will it be great??? lets see..... ;)

Reconcile

rentetan dari hal semalam

my boss did reply my mail a while after
and he did clarify on things

and now, just to clear the air,
yeah....we're good
not that we weren't
but we did speak heart to heart this morning
and no heart feelings
Alhamdulillah

and to make it even better,
I just got icing on the cake

syukur Alhamdulillah

may we have a Tea-rific year too!!!!
:-)

Happy Birthday Hubster!

ok.

hik hik

btw, last fri, 14 Jan, was myPerson's birthday
for the first time, for the last almost 5 years,
i tak plan ahead

mentang² dh kawin, kalau tak beli hadiah pon takpe
lagi pon dh bape kali i tanye dia nk hadiah ape
dia akan ckp "xpe...x pyh hadiah dah...ni kt depan ni lah hadiah paling 'besar'..."
haih...mcm mane lah saya tak jatuh cinta dgn awak??!!!
suke tau wat ayat2 manis gitu... ''___''

anyhoo, takkan la i wat dunno je on his bday kan
dh la first bday as my dear husband kan

so i buat la something 'surprise sikit' utk dia...

jumaat tu, diam², i amik half day
cuak betol masa tu
ye la...dh la tak mintak izin nk cuti dr suami
pastu boleh lagi legar² beli brg kt tesco
masa tu tawakal je byk²
betol takut sbb keluar tanpa izin suami.. :(
tp sbb btol² nekad nk wat surprise utk dia.....

takmolah citer detail sgt
fast forward ke masa dia blk

supposedly dia abis keje 5.30
so kalau betol on time, 5.45-5.50, dia akan smpai umah
so by that time, i dh ready dh kt umah
selang 30 saat, i tiptoed ke pintu umah
ngendap kt pintu tgk dia dh smpai belom

sekali kol 6 dia call, tanye i dh kt umah belom
cos dia baru nk kua opis... '__'
haih...pnat je i excited sesorg

dgr dia kate gitu
i lepak² jap tgk tv suria..ade tom tom bak masa tu

tunggu punye tunggu...
tepat pukul 6.23, org yg dinanti smpai

i dgr dia dh smpai dpn pintu

tp i lek je dulu
kasi dia tenung ni dulu

dh lama i impikan saat ni
i mean the moment that i could by a card
that says "My Husband"

tapi rupenye, tak byk kad utk birthday suami eh
i searched high and low for such card
kebykan is for anniversary...
yg ade ni pon cam tak bape cantik
tapi i rembat je coz its the only card yg i jumpe
ade perkataan "birthday" and "husband".. :)

bile dia ketuk pintu, baru i bukak
sengih² member smbil pegang kad tu
hihihih

masuk² umah, he was welcomed with this
 

he was....surprised!
truly surprised cos he said he'd never thought i'd do all this for him
;)

later while he got changed
i hidangkan our special dinner
which are all his favourite!
the menu?

jemput-jemput @ cekodok as starter

pic: googled (lupe nk snap)

roti jala and kari ayam for the main dish

excuse the messiness...dh separuh jln mkn baru teringat nk snap... '__'

and of course, a slice of chocolate and blueberry cheese cake each for dessert

there's nothing more serene than
a sight of your dear birthday husband
enjoying a meal,
specially prepared by you
pulak tu tak habis² puji kata sedap

and that, makes him a happy man!

i love you so much syg
many happy days and years to come
:-)


p/s: my phone's camera menunjukkan tanda² negatif lately ni...gamba makin blur. tak mcm 8MP langsung! tak kuasa lak nk kuarkan slr semata²...haih

Alhamdulillah

selamat bertukar title pd 11 Dis tepat jam 11.42am
syukur semuanya berjalan lancar

as for now, I'm still living from luggage
kejap sana, kejap sini
smpai agak lost track baju tinggal kat mana
pffftttt

perasaan? of course HAPPY!
byk kali ckp kt hubster, "cam tak caya kite dh sah"
serius!
tgk inai di jari baru yakin diri ini dh bernikah
lol!

hari ni dh masuk keje
cepat kan?
nnt i'll update the details
here's me on my reception

Kluang & Spore over the weekend

ok.makin lama, makin tak berupdate
adat la tu kan

makin nk dekat ni, makin byk bende remeh yg perlu dibuat
and of course, DIBELI!!!!
duit mcm air!!! *sigh*


last wiken, ari sabtu, we went to Kluang

to attend majlis Ceq Rose
sesat barat jugak lah kami!
anyone nk hadiahkan GPS?
muahahhaha

long story short,
gamba je la k

 

blk dari tu, supposedly, nk ajak mama, ayah n akak
tgk our house
tp, cancel last minute

so we went for furniture hunting
Yippeeeeeee

memula igt nk survey je
sekali terbeli terus sbb we get great deal from the uncle
yg penting, free delivery! muahahahha

kami beli kedai biasa² je
survey cavenzi, tapi dia charge 60 utk delivery,
plus, stock kene tunggu 2 minggu
no good!

btw, we managed to grab bedroom set and kitchen cabinet
itu je yg kami beli dulu
next in line is fridge and washing machine
these should come first!
tp tak jumpe yg berkenan
tu yg proceed ke furniture tu
takpe..pelan²

then on sunday, its my cousin, Farhan's birthday and engagement day!

so off we shoot to spore by 9 am
Alhamulillah...traffic adelah sgt smooth
stakat queue kt custom je

 

smpat jln2 kt AMK Hub
rambang mata woooo tgk Xmas Sale diorg

deco tak yah cite laaa
ni baru stakat AMK Hub
belom lagi orchard road sana...

makan adelah sedap2 belaka di sana
i ni mcm bukan org yg nak kawin
i eat like there's no tomorrow
makcik la ni...masak sedap sgt!
I'll blame her if I cant fit in my dresses!
nizam marah i, i marah dia!
muahahahah

blk dr spore ptg tu, dh kol 630
tp i paksa jugak diorg g tgk umah kami
kalau tak bile lagi kan?

Alhamdulillah, they loved it too
ntah eh
I takut sgt kalau diorg tak berkenan ke ape
cuma ayah pesan, kalau ade budak dtg,
jaga2 la kat corridor tu sbb palang nye mcm jarak2 and agak rendah
lain² ok!
suke suke suke!!!!

as for now, lagi 2 hari ni,
I'm trying hard to get adequate sleep
try real hard not to get stressed out
cos takut kene ulcer! pfffttttt!!!
byk kali myPerson igtkan jgn stress...heeeee

on another note,
masih mcm tak percaya I'm getting married
bgn pagi, tgk barang2 bersepah kt umah,
cam terkejut jap
lama sikit, baru terfikir, eh, aku nak kawin la!!!
gedik kan?
bahahahhaha

Our Juadah Berbuka

setiap tahun
our juadah berbuka are almost the same
but different from normal days
get it?
ngeh.

our family jarang mkn nasi berlauk for berbuka
as it is the special month of the year
juadah pon lain sikit

Here are Iftar menus that we had since day 1

1. Lontong
2. Mee sup/ Bihun goreng
3. Mee Kari Kerang
4. I seriously couldn't recall what we had on day-4
5. Ketupat/Nasi Ambang/Kerabu/Lemak Siput (PaRam)
6. Nasi Ayam (@ Home) / LC Catering(for us)
7. Nasi + Singgang Parang bersantan
8. Nasi Lemak + Sambal Sotong + Pengat Pisang
9. Roti Jala + Kari Daging + Puding Karamel
10. Mee Hun goreng putih + Mee Sup
11. Laksa Penang
12. Soto + Begedil
13. Nasi + Ikan Siakap 3 Rasa (@ Home) / Banafee (for us)

Pending list

1. Nasi Tomato
2. Nasi Beryani
3. Spageti Bolognaise
4. Laksa Johor
5. KueyTeow Goreng Kerang

Amacam? Variety tak?
setakat ni cume sekali je I pegi PaRam
which is on the Day-5 tu
mmg tak masak langsung
it's a must to have a day of juadah PaRam
especially from PaRam Uda area masjid
love the ketupat and siput sedut!

erm....I'm proud to say that I did cook all the food on the previous list
except for those days yg i buka luar tu laaa

Alhamdulillah...kekurangan mama, menjadi kelebihan utk i
i learned a lot, walaupon dulu selalu bebel sorg2 bile kene masak
berkat mama selalu paksa dulu,
now I did picked up few good skills in the kitchen
lagi syukur, dpt sediakan juadah for Iftar n sahur for the family
Alhamdulillah....

it is, somehow, one of the most important skill
that you need to brush up
before stepping into a marital world...right?
ehem!

so to all my dear fello b2bs....
get ur spatula, and hit the pan!
happy 'chef'ing!
xoxo

Sangkar Kristal

last sunday, myPerson and I iftar bersama
yeap...both in JB, but we decided to see each other on wikens only
means iftar and settle pape yg patut in 1 day (evening actually)
maknanye, hanya akan berbuka bersama +-4 kali je ramadhan kali ni

takpe..thn depan, hari2 ngadap muka dia
ngeeeeee
anyways, ntah kenape, he decided nk buka 'special' skit
dia ajak buka kt hotel
oh no no! i won't let him splurge on one night
knowing him yg mmg tak berape nk 'masuk' sgt dgn buffet spread ni
he tends to "kenyang awal"...get it?
so spending 60-80 ringgit per person utk Iftar is definitely a no no!
membazir je...

so instead of berbuka at some fancy hotels,
weols pilih LC Catering
diorang bukak a bankuet hall for this purpose
ke mmg hall tu diorg punye? something like dat laaa

it is named Sangkar Kristal
the hall dekat at the end of jln serampang
ala...betol2 dekat Pelangi Golf Driving Range

weols smpai sane 6.15...awal kan????
saje gerak awal sbb igt jam...
tp jangkaan kami meleset
jam la sikit...tkat kt traffic light je laaa..
so within half an hour, weols dh smpai

sampai, kompemkan reservation
and of course, bayar laaa
how much??? RM 39 per pax
ok laaaa...stil mahal, tapi...OK laaaaaa
bajet babe...bajet!!!! '_'

so while waiting,
kitorg dok tgk org main golf
one word. BORING!

around 7, weols pon masuk
btw, the place setting is almost like a hotel alike laa
so ade laa feeling2 sikit kan

the food? was ok..mediocre i must say
nothing to shout about nor to complain
sume style melayu laaa...takde western ke chinese ke
but the spread...syukur alhamdulillah
memenuhi citarasa kami laaa

my fav? ayam penyet and tahu jepun!
hahahaha


p/s: while waiting, we had this talk on the 'future'...he slipped a 'dream' conversation that goes "abg..jom main futsal"..."abg...jom main ps". nampak sgt he'd love to have a son for our first child....InsyaAllah syg..i tak kesah boy or girl...yg penting, they're sihat...semoga kami 'murah rezeki'..Amin.

25!

suku abad sudah
but not really a great day for me
lebih byk tak kene dr kene
whatever it is, I'm happy
and I'm blessed to be around for my 25th birthday

mama,
thank you for going through
such an excruciating pain for hours
and gave birth to me
I love you.

Alhamdulillah.

p/s: masih tidak dpt berkata2 seperti normal, dan belum dpt menikmati makanan yg sedap2 lagi... :(
