Good food, Great company ;)

I think I am the friendly type..but surprisingly, I don't have many close friends. Maybe I am not that friendly enough hehe. But there a few friends that I'm sticking to and I love them to bits! Despite the lack of meeting and chit chatting, we know that we'll always be there for each other *sniffles*

So anyway..after long-time-no-see these ladies, we decided to have a short luncheon meeting. It's hard to get everybody as we are heading out own path now, juggling work, family and life. And all of us need to take annual leave for this ok!! Talk about friendship commitment hehe. FYI, annual leave is crucial to me as I need to keep them in hands, with sick kids and emergency what not. But these ladies deserve this privilege too! In a way, I need to unwind my routine and it's always refreshing to meet them ;)

So! We had a nice lunch at Absolute Thai in the Gardens. Our meeting was always Midvalley. Once we met in KLCC but after that changed back to Midvalley because it's the easiest place to be for everybody (with the public transport access). But their place is quite far actually (it's not far for me because I need to send my hubby to office and MV is nearby) and I'm so glad that they willing to make it *sniffles again*

 I've been to Absolute Thai before but with only 2 of us with my hubby, so the order was very minimal. Since this is four of us, we went kinda crazy. Plus my husband doesn't really dig spicy food, so tak best laa berpedasan sorang2 haha.

Starter consist of: Thai fishcake, vege spring rolls, prawn spring rolls and money bag with special sauce. I love everything espc the thai fishcake! It's has bits of lemongrass and equal spiciness. Nyum!

 Fuh fuh fuh! My ultimate fav that day, tom yam with fresh water prawn a.k.a udang galah!!! I love udang galah soooo much, espc the big head! I need to revisit this dish and wallop the whole lot all by myself lol!

Green is a must. Simple stir fried baby kailan with salted fish.

Steam seabass with lime and chilli! Oh myyy..this is yummy too! I've had few version of this dish at various place and most of them almost the same. The key point is, the fish has to be fresh fresh and fresh! And yes, Absolute Thai didn't let us down.

 Only 3 dishes but the portion is big! We were full to the brim. Burpppp~! Alhamdulillah

Glowing mommy-to-be next to me! The baby came out already though! It's a boy! :D

My lovely ladies in my life ❤

Even though we were full, the luncheon is incomplete without dessert. So we force ourselves to eat this

glutinous rice with sweet mango and coconut milk

Oh myy..looking at these pics make me salivating. The food was good but what make it great is because of the company. I miss my girlfriends already! Thanks ladies, hope to see you guys soon! Maybe we can visit the baby together? ;)

When we are over excited..

I rarely do this.. But I have to blog about it because it is funny and I want to keep a record of it so one day when I am a makcik already, I'll look back and read all the silly things we had haha. The thought about it only ticks.

The story is, the wedding photographer for my brother's reception (the wife side) is soooooooo cute! Ok, maybe not that cute, but noticeable and we girls can't stop giggling about it hahaha!








I am so excited with the cuteness that I even send a PM telling him that he is cute!! Cannn? Hahaha. But it's just for fun. I mean, nothing wrong for you to compliment things that you like right? Just like when you tell your girlfriend how pretty she is in the baju kurung, or nice shoes, or whatever it is.

Hahh..gotta stop giggling. MrComot dah menyampah ok..I keep on saying comelnyaa budak tuuuuu LOL!

When Dads get excited

I've been meaning to write this post long time ago, since I was in confinement, but still couldn't make it. Most of the time is because I'm just plain lazy and don't know how to write about it hehehe.

Anyway it is about the two men in my life ;)

They are very excited when the little one is coming especially my father. Knowing my father who is slightly *ahem* lazy *ahem* with housework (haha not lazy la..only pampered by my mom :P) so I was quite taken aback when my mom told me that he made cotton mattress for me and Zahra!

It's made of 100% raw cotton filling. The process is quite tedious and fibery, so have to wear the face mask. My father even sew the cover by himself!

Not only mattress, he also made cotton pillows and sew pillow cover for Zahra. 2 sets of them - pink bear and white safari.

The sewing machine. There is 3 laptops there, we helped my father by surfing internet! :P

Oh my father is really a talented guy in sewing and crafting. He can weave mangosteen from 2 ribbons (like you do ketupat, but it is manggis) and used to weave tudung saji from rattan! He even sewed my school uniform those days.

MrComot on the other hand, not really a crafter but he wanted to do something for Zahra and get very excited when he stumbled upon this set of acrylic painting for kids. Bought it at Giant, couldn't remember how much but less than RM10 or RM20 per set, I think.

I did say something like this:

"Buat apa la nak paint2 ni..baby bukannya boleh appreciate lagi"

"Biar la.. me nak buat for baby!"

Hahaha..lawak ok dia sentap. So here he was, around 6 months ago.

Busy panting while me watching The Nanny and ironing working shirts.

MooMoo and Baby

Ugly Elephant. Ha ha ha I always said this elephant looks weird, and he will be defensive "Zahra suka!"

Bright lion. Notice the unfinished line? He wanted to draw with another coat of black paint but turn out to be tak cantik, so it's there halfway :P

Proudly hanged next to Zahra's babycot.

This painting maybe something normal to some people, but knowing my husband who is super busy and rather do his scripting than this cheesy work, it was very sweet of him.

Well, fathers are always like that eh? Just like mothers. Their love also unconditional but they show it differently :)

The Emotional Goodbye

My mom has been taking care of me and Zahra for the whole of my confinement period, and it means a lot to me. I don't know how should I write about it, because I rarely talk about my family in this blog, but I guess I can make an exception for this occasion, so that one day when I be a grandma, I can flip back and see if I can do the same.

Having my mom around is a big blessing for me as a first time parent. She boils hot water for my bath - every morning and evening, cook my lunch and dinner, wash Zahra's poop, bathe her, carry her most of the time so that I can get enough rest, burped Zahra (because I'm suck at this, I have no patience to hold upright for a long time), prepare my place to bf Zahra (give me pillow, take this, take that), sing to Zahra, stay up late to calm Zahra when she's throwing tantrums, pound the tumeric every morning for me to drink, pound coarse salt + turmeric for my bengkung session, etc etc.

Not only about me and Zahra. She's also wash our clothes (mine n MrComot using the washing machine, and Zahra's by hand), fold it, cook for MrComot as well, clean the kitchen, sweep the floor, sweep the porch, wash my bathroom, help to entertain my friends when they come visit, every little thing. I don't think I can write them all. It's just...to much to list.

So you can conclude that my confinement is kinda a very laid-back and relax one. All I do is attend Zahra for her feed, especially during the night as I sleep with her.

Yesterday was my mom's last day here, leaving me with everything, doing it alone. It is a bit tiring but not that bad because Zahra already behaving. But that's not my point, not about how I cope with the situation. My mom cried when she gave her goodbye to Zahra. I didn't blame her for being so emotional, because after all the thing she has done, I know there is a thick bonding between her and Zahra. People said first grandchild is like the youngest child to a grandparent.

The most important thing, she cares Zahra just as much as she cares about me. Even though when she's not in the perfect health or exhausted, she will always give the extra hand, so that I don't have to stress myself.

Just one thing I wonder, I don't know if I can do the same when Zahra gives birth to her first child. My mom is one of a kind. So thank you mom, sorry I didn't say it directly to you when you walk out from the house, because you were crying and I'm afraid I'll cry as well. And I still didn't say it yesterday when I called you up, because again you cried when we talked about Zahra. I know you miss Zahra so much. InsyaAllah I'll try to balik kampung as much as I can. I can only thank you in this space, and thank God for giving me such a wonderful mother.

I have to end this entry abruptly as it will become too emotional to me. However this remind me of Aris Ariwatan's song - SATU

Satu, kasih nan abadi, tiada tandingi, DIA yang satu

Dua, sayang berpanjangan, membawa ke syurga, kasihnya ibu

Tiga, lapar dan dahaga, rela berpayahan, setianya ayah

Empat, mudah kau ketemu, berhati selalu, beza antara kasih dan kekasih

Yup, kasih ibu never cease till heaven.

When everybody is settling down..

One of my closest girlfriends got engaged last Saturday. It was a close and intimate event placed at her house.

I have nothing much to write about as I'm bad in writing about others, especially one that close to me (merepek about diri sendiri pandai la), but I'm glad that all my BFF are going to settle down. Looking back, I still miss our uni time (especially the slurpy nights! walking to 7E in baju kurung in the middle of the night! haha) but that's how life play us. We'll move to different phases and have our own life.

Tak sempat amik banyak gamba with my camera. This is one of the nicest pose, at the stairs, haha. All look so happy and comellllll.

When I tried to fit in. Gegar laaaa, ada orang kacau laa! Eeeiiiii. Whatever, but I love you girllsss

Oh ya, all of us have different characters that I always wonder how we can stay together for so long. One is soft and undecided, one is very proper and has a clear road-map of her life, one that look strong and tough but actually manja and fragile and one mengada-ngada (that will be me :P).

Hahaha..semua character mengutuk ok, so girls cepat pick which one fits u well? No matter what it is, love you all to bits ok :D

The 'taken' girl with her hantaran. So happy and serene (ps: ur mekap look so nice in cameras, not that in real tak cantik, but latino okk haha)

The group photos. Oh ya, one thing about orang yg bertunang ni, dia kan..suka TUTUP MATA time orang amik gamba. Seriously I dont get it la. Orang nak amik gamba, just open ur eyes and smile widely even it will take 5 mins okkk? Hahaha. Remember thatttt for ur wedding pictures :P

According to then plan, all of them will settle down for real next year, insyaAllah and I can't wait to go to their weddings. Please make sure tak clash tarikh ok.

Oh myy...I wonder if our relationship will change after the family-thingy. Hopefully not. Maybe we can make family dinner sometimes? Remember that ok? :D



PS: The food was fantabulous especially the sayur kacang. Say thanks to your mom!!

Birthday and plans

Lazy bug bites me and I'm dragging myself to write my last update before the long holiday. Yes, I'll be on leave for the whole next week! Yeaaaaayyyy!!

Anyway, MrComot's birthday will be on this Saturday and I don't really have a nice plan for him. Also I don't know what to buy as the birthday present. Truth is, I don't think he needs anything as for now. No no no, of course he wants a lot of thing, but wanting and needing is two different thing and I am not kind-hearted enough to entertain any silly wanted-list.

I plan to cook some nice dinner. I already sketched the rough idea in my mind how the dinner will go. And I want it to be a surprise. The thing is, we always cling to each other, so it's kinda hard for me to execute it. Possible, but hard.

Hmm..maybe I can shut him in the room and let him out after I finish cooking and setting the table?

I really don't know.

I will share the celebration (if it happens) with you guys. As for now, Gong Xi Fa Cai and have a good holiday!

Ps: Oh ya, talking about CNY, now I realized that we are married and to the custom, we have to give angpows to the single relatives. And we still don't change the money! *pull hair*

Dinner is not all about food you know ;)

We had a fantabulous get-together-dinner last week where involving lots of experiments in cooking! :D

If you know me, you will also know that I am not a cook. In fact, I categorized myself in can't-cook-crowd. I don't deny that my upbringing didn't include cooking. I was away most of the time to boarding school, then matriculation, then university and didn't bother to learn cooking. When I come home for holiday, it was my mom who always whip out the dishes and I don't feel guilty of it, nor ashamed. I know I'm spoilt.

Btw, I break my own record after 26 years, I cook for people! (Husband tak kira lah ye). And it is indeed a BERANI-MATI-ACT. And the best part is, I cook something that I never cook before. Memang berani mati lah!

The story started when my dear friend, Polt is coming down to KL and his lovely junior which happen to be my friend also suggest that we eat together-together. Ok so fine, we eat together. Then she comes up with this brilliant idea about me cooking for the get-together thing.

At first I was like, haaaaaaaaaaa?

But somehow, I found the idea is intriguing. I know it's crazy. The paling-hebat thing I ever do pun is hot tea. And ya..sunquick. But drinks is not inclusive right?

But yes, in the end I finally show off my skill (the berani mati skill lah, not the cooking skill ;P) and luckily nobody admitted to hospital. And did I tell you it is purely from scratch? :D

It's a bit challenging as we were working during the day and started to roll up our sleeve at 6PM, finish everything around 9PM!

To me, it's excellent for a start! EXCELLENT ok!! Hehe. Btw, since I was soo busy bersilat the dapur with my hubby, I didn't manage to capture many pictures ;(

My chicken going into the oven

That's the last picture I managed to snap, then terus potong bawang la, fry some vege la, chop this and that..

The menu that night was ayam bakar, tomyam udang galah, fried french beans with garlic, fried oyster mushroom and telur dadar. I also manage to prepare ribena longan! YUM!

I can safely say the ayam bakar is a success and kid you not, it's my very 1st time doing it! I know I keep telling you this (the first time thingy) but I am too excited and not bothered that I am repeating :P

MrComot says it is YUMMY! So I consider it success ya! I wish I can share with you guys the recipe but unfortunately I don't have the specific measurements as all I do is campak2 but basically this is what you need for that ayam bakar;

Chilli paste (a lot! blended from the dried chilli), big onions (I use two), some ginger, lots of shallots, 2 cloves of garlic, some salt and sugar to taste. Marinate it and grill.

The tomyam is a success too as I didn't use any instant paste and according to them, it do taste like a tomyam! Hehe..now I feel like giggling..I am happy, that's all :P

MrComot did the french beans with garlic and then I fry some mushroom, it's a tad mealy though ;(

And I also bake some muffin!!!!

It's suka-suka hati punya recipe but I would like to call it coconut heaven with scattered choc chips hahahaha. I use this as the base and replace raspberry and white choc with coconut and normal choc chips.

Taste-wise, PASS! But it's not a success as it's a bit hard to me ;(

So I'm not going to paste the recipe here. Maybe you can try the original version at your own risk. We had this little discussion on why my muffin is hard, it could probably because the type of butter and its amount. So I'm going to bake this again, with different butter and add it a bit more. I will share with you guys if it turn out fine :)

So thanks to all the lovelies who came for the dinner that night and eat without any complaint :P Thanks to Shani for the del.ici.ous potato salad! Thanks to Khairiah for snapping pictures, thanks to Polt for reading my comic and thanks to Bee for bringing nothing. Hey!! Jumpa you pun dah best sgt okkk! :P

Ps: Since we are near, expect me to crash your house pulak ok. I wannt food!! Like those days! :D

And not to forget, thanks for the CHOCOLATES!!!

Our fridge is violated with choices you know ;)


Thanks darlings!!!! That's the best gift, ever! I have to restraint myself from buying anymore chocs. I also have some Rocher, Cloud9, Cadbury and Pistachio Lindt in other compartment. Feels like living in chocolate factory already :D

Maybe I can organize another dinner again, once my chocolate stock finish hehehe


Ps: More pictures and stories on the dinner can be retireved here ;)
Pss: Thanks Lalink Khairiah, MrLampard, Bee, Shani, Hubby-to-be, Polt and also my hubby, MrComot for being a good guinea pig that night ;)
Psss: A good companion will make a good dinner ;)

Andes Being Random

I'm taking a break from writing about the Penang trip because suddenly I feel like to ramble and rant. So I decided to answer tag by Rena.

2. I'm studying and planning for our honeymoon trip in this April! I feel excited and nervous at the same time.

3. I feel left out by the neighbours, due to age gap. Most of them are mid 30s and I'm like a little kid trying to fit in. Actually I don't really care for being left out, but it's a bit weird when they have majlis tahlil ke, birthday party anak ke, I have NOTHING to talk to. Just org mana, kerja kat mana, and then? Ughhhhhh I hate it when I can't mix around

4. I miss my mom and my girlfriends now

5. I have this tendency to drop most of the conversation and ask over and over again, like

"apa dia tadi?"
"sorry, again?"
"ehhhh...jap tak ingat la..tadi mcm mana menda tu?"

6. I like nuts :D I like macademia, almond, walnut, pecan, except peanut. But I dig Goober grape and peanut butter :D

7. After I gained weight, I am a linen person because I find it's more comfy than jeans. And I have one jeans only as for now because I don't want to have BIG sized jeans. Ada cita2 untuk dapat narrow waistline di situ :P

8. I like white very very very much. I think white is cute and earth color is cool. So I like earth color too

9. I like red and yellow as well, but not really on my apparel

10. I prefer Baskin&Robin over Haagen Daz. I think HD is over-rated

13. I think babies look all the same

14. I like anything soupy

15. Sometimes, I can be very anti-social where I just do my work, not mingling and not bothering what's happening and that can last for months!

16. I think I have a mild Multiple Personality Disorder hehe.. and it switches very fast


Just for the record, we've been married for 3 months!!! and we ARE having this small fight. So SCREW THREE MONTHS!!! Whatever it means!

Ughhhh

Since I'm not in jovial mood, not going to tag anyone ok.

Feel free to do is you want to do it :D

All I Want For Christmas Is You

We went to Cineleisure to watch Los And Faun last night. While waiting for the show we took a slow walk at The Curve and I like like like their Xmas deco. The walkway covered with mistletoe like aisle and with loads bright colored ornaments!

They look fresh and cute!


Anyway, the festive fever somehow trigger i-want-to-give-something-for-mrcomot-this-xmas!

It's not that I'm celebrating it, just I think it will be nice if I give him something, and it will be nicer if it is something cheap haha

Talking about this, I casually asked,

Me: Sayang, apa yg you teringin now?
MrComot: Apa yg me teringin as in food or material?
Me: Material
MrComot: Hahaha me going to get xmas gift ke?
Me: No laa.. me just wonder what do you feel like to have
MrComot: Ok, me nak SLR, Handycam, LCD, new PC, GPS, 1 Tera external HDD, Plasma..
Me: Ok ok you are not getting anything you know

Over okkk semua benda gadget!! The cheapest thing I can get pun is the external HDD. And I don't want to get him that. Since we are going to share the gadgets, no wayyy I' getting them for him. Kiasu kan hahahaha

Whatever, I'm thinking of something cheap and lovely and below RM100 :P And I don't want to give normal things like shirt, perfume, etc etc. So what should I give him eh?

I mean, it will be something very simple and sweet.

And I also thinking making the giant stocking to stuff the gift myself. The thing is, it's hard to find the time as we always together, takkan tiba2 I lock myself in a room and do it. I want to surprise him. Hmmm *thinking hard*

Maybe I should just skip the stocking part as it is quite ambitious :D

Or maybe I can just give him this rudolph?

Ohhhhh I love xmas deco!!!

Peeping into my handbag

Hi all, how was your raya? Mine okay je..sbb the vacation is too short! Mcm tak sempat buat apa balik rumah. But I get to watch the sembelihan during the day.

MrComot behaving well at Perak but noooott when we arrived. Now we are in the not talking mode. Or is it me yg tak behave? Hmm whateverrrrr!!! I won't talkkkkk sampai la dia pujuk2 okayyyy. Hate hate hate silent treatment when it comes from others. If I do it, then it should be ok haha. For this blog record, we not talking since last night okkk. Masa drive pegi keja pagi tadi pun dua-dua diam. Gila! But again, whateverrrr!!!! Hmmphhhhh~~~

Ok enough about that, I'm going to answer Bee's tag now.

Find a safe quiet place free of significant other, nosey meme makers, priests, nuns, all things religious and men in general.
My work place is safe and secluded enough. So I'm doing it here, in front of the pc :D

Take a photo of your handbag and the contents plus photos of your working cabinet and work station

My handbag's content on the working desk.

Believe me or not, I only have ONE handbag to work. Ish ish ish. Anyway, I like this handbag very much as it is very simple and elegant (to me). Another thumbs up is, inside can hold as much junk as it can and still look pretty and stand well, takde la terbalik ke tergolek ke apa ke kan. I've been wearing this one for almost two years, for every working days. Sangat lasak. It's leather collection from Jane Shilton. I'm thinking of getting another one (large tote type) *Hmmm need to get out from silent treatment for this*

Very simple and chic. Got engraved brand name at the brass buckle.

Dump the content of your handbags in a pile.

All the things

Be brave and explain to your fellow bloggers what lurks inside the handbag

Motif gua nak simpan benda menakutkan dlm handbag? Haha ok move on. It keeps:
1. Nokia handphone i-don't-know-what-model-coz-it-is-freaking-old
(it's a free phone given by my petbro btw. Thanksss anyhow)
2. Canon Ixus
3. Panadol Menstrual
4. Thumb drive
5. Wallet from Kauffman
6. MAC studio fix, MAC tint, Loreal blusher in marshmallow (all baru beli sbb kes kecurian that day sob sob), Clean & Clear blotter paper and a miniature from Azzaro (limited edition Pink Tonic)
7. Rubber band and small brooch
9. A copy of our pic printed on Selphy paper and pen
10. Lotss of cards and paper craps/notes/bills


Annnd alsoooooooo

Tickets to Sinbad the Musical!!!

I'm going to watch this with Shani. Wonder who she'll bring. Ehem ehem Shani? :D

Anyway just a quick info, for every 4 tickets purchased, you are entitled to 20% discounts off (only applicable for RM50 seat). So it will be only RM41.50. Murah banyakk okkkk! Anyway, I tried to buy online and they want to charge a freaking RM53!!!! Apparently the discount only for walk-in purchase (I don't know what is the different okkk) so dengan gigihnya we drove from Bangsar to Ampang just to get the ticket. Usaha tangga kejayaan right? :D

What is the most important thing in you handbag?
I used to say my handphone but since the handphone not really serving me (no mms, no camera, bla bla) so I would like to declare my IXUS as my most important thing :D

Hmm I really need a new handphone..

Ops, not that I'm being ungrateful. Thanks again Abg Namiri, for giving me this hp :P

What is the most embarrasing thing in your handbag?
Hmm nothing I guess. All are normal things

What is the smallest thing in your handbag?
That will be my butterfly brooch hehe

Is there anything illegal in your handbag?
Nope. I don't do drugs or anything in between.

Tag other who might want to embarrass themselves.
I don't find it embarrassing, instead I think it is fun. So I'm going to tag

1. Cool
2. Aleeya
3. Tatty
4. Kopi atau Milo
5. Rena
7. BB/Tulip

and last but not least, anybody who feel like to do this ok? I would love to peep into your handbags too!! :D

The Gift

I was packing some of my stuff into the box when I saw this perfume, and remind me of something.



The perfume is MrComot's first gift to me, and back in September 2006. That will make exactly 2 years right?

We were casual friends that time. Rarely see each other, and even if we went out together hardly can call it dating ;)

I was kinda surprised to get the perfume since we don't really have 'declared' relationship but somehow I know it's going to be a start to everything. Knowing him as a nerd and unromantic person, I expect nothing from Taiwan, maybe the same like other colleagues got.

Truthfully, I don't like the perfume, at all. Hahaha. It is too strong and specially made for evening wear. So bila kah I nak pakai kan? Till now still left about 80% ok.

Me: Why you beli perfume ni?
MrComot: You pernah cakap you suka Hugo Boss. But me dunno which one. The saleslady said this is the newest for Hugo.
Me: Hahaha

I pernah borak2 ngan dia pasal perfume earlier and mentioned that I loveeee Hugo Boss Woman. After I told him he bought the wrong one (so ungrateful la :P) he said he know nothing about perfume and as the saleslady said it's for woman, he thinks it is the same with the one I mentioned. Hahaha nerdy okk.

The right perfume should be this one.

So old skol kan?

I got this one online (Strawberrynet) from MrsImran. And wayyyy cheaper than at normal store.

Kalau tak salah I, I bought it at RM120 for 75ml, free shipping lagi. In store it will cost me around RM240. Not everything in Strawberrynet cheap though, you have to check and study betul2. Btw, now they already charge the shipping for perfumes.

So guys, care to share what is your first present from the loved one, and maybe some story behind? ;)

Can you take cold shower?

First of all (cewahhh intro), I would like to change MrComot to Wolfie. Lately, he keeps calling himself Wolfie (and me pwincess, ewahhh) and I find the name is tooo cute. So no more MrComot till I get bored with the new name :D

Btw, that day he said,

Wolfie: We HAVEEE to buy heater too
Me: Ala..kena beli cepat2 ke? We can buy later, after we finish all other thing
Wolfie: Tak boleh. Me kenot mandi nanti
Me: Sooo?? Nnt mesti u tak suka balik rumah my parents sbb takde heater -->motif tiba2 emo?
Wolfie: Noooooo. Balik umah you 2-3 hari je. But our house everyday, me kena ada heater.


I was like...heloooooo??! Tak boleh blahhh okkk org yg tak boleh mandi cold shower.

Hmmm..sometimes I think he is too 'bandar', but that's him kan ;)

The Announcement =D

Hye guyssss!!






Ehemm...ni lah the second announcement!

Wahhhhhhhhhhhh surprised takk? (semua orang geleng kepala tsk tsk tsk)


The date will be 10/10/2008 for the akad nikah. Wedding ceremony will be later somewhere in November, we cant decide yet!

Since it's just in the corner, I *might* be getting too excited and starting to write lovey-dovey-stuff-you-wanna-puke or all messiness with the wedding preparation. Hope you darlings will bear with me, till it's over =D


On the other hand, the poor pic above drawn using CorelDraw4 and a mouse!! I don't have the drawing pad set :(.

Aha! Talking about that, can you give that (the PC drawing set) as my wedding gift? It's only RM170 or so. Pweeeeeeeeaseeeeeee :P


And it took me 2 days for that simple drawing! It is my first time using CorelDraw and with mouse in the hand, not really helping.

Btw, anyone familiar with CD, can you please enlighten me why it is so fard to fill/color the freehand object?

When Love embraces the Rage

MrComot and I had a big fight over a small thing last night. Both of us are hard-headed. So jgn harap la ada adegan pujuk memujuk while we are fighting. I believed I am right, so does he. That's why it always end with emotional sms.

But last night is the worst ever. He being sarcastic like hell and I was so furious that I said, 'Don't you be sarcastic bitch' that made him explode and he hang up! We never hang up on each other in our fights history. The fight continued via sms. Both of us were hurt and I just hate it so much that I end it with

"...... don't find me for a few days. Me hate you."


My general of thumbs while fighting, never, never say you hate your partner because you may think you hate him, but you will regret it very much later. At first I couldn't believe what I typed but it just burst out and I couldn't hold it anymore.

Being the ego of me, I pretty much want to keep my word, on don't find me part. So I laid out my plans of "can't be reached". Since he is on leave on Monday (which is today), I planned to go to the office, settled my things, then take emergency leave for a week and gone missing. I just want to hurt him so much (although I know it hurts me the same).

On the afternoon, I was restless already. Part of me want to make peace but the bigger part of me let him get me first. He is having funeral thingy (his uncle died) and make me feel a bit unfair to me because he got something to be occupied with and even if he thinks of me, it won't be as much as I do.

I hate this situation when I am mad at him but yet, I miss him much.

It is just in time when I had a little chat with Cool and put little here and there, these words knock my sense off:

cool (6/23/2008 1:16:04 PM): so baik aan beralah jer
andes (6/23/2008 1:16:08 PM): hmmm
cool (6/23/2008 1:16:13 PM): so nanti dia tmabah2 la sayang

Terus lembut hati.


Ikut hati mmg I nak gaduh lama-lama biar dia rasa sedih missing me for a while, but it will hurt me too. Then I thinking why we should waste the time to be in the sad state just to feed the ego kan? If you have choices to be happy, you are a fool not to pick it.

So I bagged all the strength I had and sms him:

"Sayang, I'm sorry for last night. How everything going? Ur mom ok?"

Then, came the reply and made me almost cry.

After a while, we had a small chat, discussing why I did all the stupid thing (I am a confronting (is this right?) person, even he already said sorry selagi I tak puas hati, I will ask why and discuss, which, one of my ex's take it as nagging. Hey you! :P).

After that little chat, I received one long sms from him.

"Sayang, u are the best thing that ever happened to me. Mmg me am lost n weng2 without u. Sayang sudi kan to be by my side, this immature thalasaemmia boy. Me dunno what u see in him, but he sees everything in u"


First thing that came across my mind - sweet talker! But I know he meant it.

Whatever it is, I'm glad I made the first move to pujuk him ;)



p/s: He has talasemia. It is a genetic thingy. Thank God he is only minor. If you guys tgh bercinta, go do blood screening. If both have it, it will be dangerous for your kids.

Just another rant..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Actually I tgh boring ni. Boleh tak? Boleh takkkk I nak cakap keja I mcm takde keja? Ahahaha matila nnt semua org cakap I makan gaji buta. Ahh btw..that's not my point.

I planned to update few entries with pictures but the blogspot macam lancauu so I tergerak nak apdet pasal menda2 tak penting.

Btw, last week I went to KLCC to hunt the wedding ring. Oppss..beholddddd all of youuu. There is no date yet. I repeat, no date yet. It's simply a hunting ;)

Since both of us totally NO IDEA what we should look for a ring, we just gamble masuk any jewelery shop and ask. And then the interesting part came. We went to Tiffany&Co and korang tau tak, derang tak layannnnn okkkkkk! And they didn't even greet us. Derang layan mat salleh je at that time. Mcm lancauuu okkk!

Ok lahh..let me put this. Mmg la kitaorg tak confirm nak beli kan. But do you know about it? Mana tahu kitaorg nak beli 10k punya ring ke time tu? At least, just greet la kan, 'morning can i help you' ke or 'welcome' ke. Whatever la. But we were touring like a pair of shabby stones where no one bother to look or check it out. Kejiiii kannn??

I know people normally judged by the way they dressed etc etc. At that time both of us wore FREE Cisco tshirt and MrComot pakai slipper ASADI je (do we care?). But I expect for a so-called high-class jeweller, they should have high-class attitude too! You can't judge or pilih2 customer mcm tu. All customer is important.

Lepas tu terus kitaorg kuar and swore will never go back to that shop ok. Giler sombong. Then we went to check out Selberan..turned out that lady sooooooooo nice!!!! We were there for almost one hour okkk. The ring is sooo me and the price is within his budget PLUS the saleslady is super nice that tempt me to buy at a go. See..good salesperson is important ok. Nama dia Kak Nizah. Kalau uols pegi sana, carilah dia eh.

From Selberan la baru I tahu u have to go for clarity and cut (yeah you can google it out but seeing it in front of eyes way different..hehe of course la kan). Then they got grades as well. The perfect one is D.

They got this D, E, F (colorless), G, H, I (almost colorless) J, K, L (a bit yellowish) and so on. Then got clarity, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, S1, S2, S3, I1 - I3. So the one that I eyed that day is G, VS1, ideal cut, 0.28 carat.

Then we went to Habib where they got this 50% off. But the 50% only applied to the commercial diamond, not with the certificate and serial number. The ideal cut diamond harga dia lebih kurang je ngan Selberan even after 8% off. So we get it that diamond u pegi mana2 pun shud be around the same price. Kalau over cheap is the commercial one.

And the commercial one is like half of the price of our budget. And with lotss or bigger stone okk. The other thing, you can't even tell pun whether it is commercial or not (at least to my eyes!). Semua nampak shiny2 sama je :P

Since it is soo cheap and the design pun more fancy than the high-end one, I hadthis discussion with MrComot:

Me: Why don't we buy the commercial one. Bukannya org tahu. And some more cantikkk okk
MrComot: Don't la..Me want the right one for my sayang.
Me: Are you sure? Me don't mind tau. And it way cheaper.
MrComot: Betul..lagipun it's for one time only. If you really want the commercial one, we get it after this wedding ring.

Terus aku tersengih2 okkkkkk. Hmphhhhh.. Now baru I understand that it's hard for a woman to resist diamonds :P

An emotional night

MrComot has been bugging me from last two weeks on what I want for my birthday. And all of the time I will only say 'Tak payah apa2 lah...I really don't want anything'. The truth is I'm not used with the idea of presents and gifts, regardless any occasion. In fact, my family don't really celebrate birthdays. So I'm not really bothered.

I'm not obsessed with handbags, shoes, makeups, and other girly stuff. So he is practically blank with the gifts list. He did offer me to buy new handphone but I was like, heloooooo, you nak belikan I handphone? Giler ke apa? Unless we are married ok la.

Seriously, cakap la I kampung ke apa ke kan, but I seriously don't get it when the gf/bf shower their partner with thousands punya stuff kan. I mean, kalau murah2 ok la..like RM300 max. He/she is just your bf/gf kannnnn. Bukannya I kedekut ke apa ke, but it really doesn't make any sense.

Btw..takkan I nak dia beli handphone 300 kan..mesti I nak ribu riban hahaha..

And suddenly he came out with the idea (Shani, I think he influenced by yours hahaha)

MrComot: Busuk, cakap la you nak apa for your birthday
Me: Me really want nothing la..
MrComot: Ok..me banje you spa okkkkk
Me: Eh takpela..it's ok..me can go sendiri.
MrComot: Betul..you have all the spa, then we go together for ikan2 kenko utk kaki tu.

Yaaaa laaahhh tuu nak pegi sendiri. I was being polite fyi tapi dalam hati excited gedik mcm nak mati okkkk.

So I've been browsing where to have my complete spa for this upcoming event. The truth is, I've never been to any spa, scrub, etc etc. KAMPUNG tak I? Ahahaha.. I dunno lah..I'm quite thrifty. I rather buy RM120 crabtree&evelyn scrub than do the RM70 commercial scrub/spa.

So basically I was expecting nothing but the spa, even a fine dinner.

So last night we just had this so-called-sloppiest burger in Malaysia, Om Burger (which I'm going to write about it later) in a car! Tgk romantic ke tak romantic MrComot ni? And had BR icecream after that. But I don't mind at all sbb nnt nak pegi spa kan?

So after the icecream session he sent me home and at 11:15pm he already need to go sbb ada migration at Wangsa Maju start at 1130pm. So in the car he hugged me hard and said:

MrComot: Happy birthday sayang
Me: Mana ada birthdayyyyy tak pukul 12 lagi
MrComot: Tu laaa...but me wish siap2 laa
Me: It's ok..me wish me can go teman you but me soo sleeeppyy headdd.. Me really tak tahan.. sowieee
MrComot: No it's ok..me want you to rest

See...how 'I don't care tak celebrate birthday with you' at that time kan. Mmg I'm involved with the migration thing as well, but seriously mengantuk and some more dah ramai org pegi, so kalau I tak pegi pun takpe. I rather have my sleep than spend 12:00am with him :P

Me: Ok...see you soon okk. Promise me you will call me when the migration habis, no matter pukul berapa
MrComot: Me promised me will call..

Tiba-tiba kan.. dia amik beg laptop dia,

MrComot: Comot, me have something for you

I was like, apa diaaaa pulakk kann..kata nak bagi spaa

Tadaa....

Apsal gamba rotate mcm ni eh? I dah buat dia melintang? Haishhhh

And you know tiba2 I buat apa? I nangesssss okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


I mean, I was like, seriously terkejut. terkejut gila babi punya terkejut.

First, I don't expect any 'other' gift since he already mentioned nak bagi I spa kan.
Second, this is freaking 'Aishiteru To Itte Kure' okkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I've been wanting this like, forever?

Actually I can easily buy it online. But as I said before, I am soooo berkira okkk. I mean the DVD is just like Rm90 ke apa something like that but including shipping jadi almost 200 okkkk! Since it is ned DVD release, takde kat Msia lagi, so kena la ship from Taiwan, if I'm not mistaken. And I totally forgot about it after that.

Then we basically promised each other to get the dvd when we go to Japan (ehemmmmm bilakah ini? :P) which is like.. lambat lagi lah kan. But I don't care, selagi boleh jimat, selagi tu lah kita buat. After all, it is only dvd. Tak mati pun kalau tak dapat sekarang kan?


Me: Seriooooouuusssslllyyyyy you get this???? Mana you beli???
MrComot: Hehe..online laa
Me: How much?
MrComot: Mana boleh cakapppp
Me: From where? Kenapa ada KPDN ni?? Malaysiaaaa laaa niiii

Bolehh takkk?? Org dah beli tapi still nak komplennn hahaha

MrComot: Ehhh is it? Me tak perasan la. You go check the quality nnt
Me: Ok me check..nnt me report. Kalau tak okk you marah okkk org tu

Then..I just remember about the spa thingy

Me: Heyyyy waiiittt...so spa tu on takk?
MrComot: Mestilahhhh..this is pre-birthday

Bolehhh???

Terus aku nanges, AGAIN okkkkkkk.


That was soo unpredictable.


OMG. At one time when you think you know everything about your other half, in another blink you can find the other side of him. Human is soo interesting. They evolved and it is a never-ending learning process.





Oh ya..today is my birthday! =D
Thanks for all the wishhhh!!! Mwahhhh




.

Being me..

Hye peeps! How was your weekend?

Mine was GRRRREEEEEAAATTTTTT!!! Ahahaha so excited. Went to Cherating last weekend sponsored by the vendor. The beach is okay. Beach is always be beach right? But this is the first time I enjoy it very much.

Btw, to kill the excitement, I'm not gonna blog about it today as it will involve lots of pics and I have no ample time to upload the pics and write long entry. I have dinner date with Bee today woohooo! Lama tak jumpa dia, so kinda excited :P

Oh ya..nak tulis pasal ni..

Back from Cherating yesterday wasn't a pleasant one. We (MrComot, Hajime and me) were like one hour from Temerloh that I screamed:

Me: OMG!! Me terlupa, me have pasar malam today. And me parked my car at the pasar malam.

OK mcm ni. MY house got pasar malam every Monday and we can't park our car at the lot from 5PM to 11PM. They use the space for the gerai. The thing is, I don't care about my car, all I think of is, what will happen to the pakcik whom got my spot? Mcm mana dia nak meniaga kan?

MrComot: Ok..sempat lagi we reached KL ni. Around 530. Is it ok?

Time to dah 3.30PM. So we estimate to reach temerloh in an hour. Then to KL in another hour. We don't even stop for lunch. MrComot just made a quick stop at Shell to refill the fuel and I bought some some instant food to feed the three of us.

We reached KL around 515PM but we sesat pulak lahhh as MrComot missed the simpang to Ampang. Instead we took to pusat bandaraya and when we tried to u-turn salah jugak and lead to Sentul.

We arrived my place around 6PM ;(

The pasar malam already cramped with people and stalls. I went straightway to my parking place and saw only my car was there.. Kiri kanan belakang semua ada stalls. There were 2 uncles tgh susun2 barang side by side.

I was running to my car and mentally prepared for any consequences. I even had my line if the uncle mintak ganti rugi ke apa ke. I know it was my fault, but I won't let him bullying me. If he ever asked for money, I will settle it at police station. See, how prepared I was?

Me: Pakcik...sorry!! Saya lupa alih keter. Siapa punya lot kat sini?
Uncle1: Haaa..sapa suruh tak alih keter. Nasib la. Kalau keter kamu kemik tak tahu la. Orang2 kat sini kasar2.
Me: Ohh..saya tak kisah pasal keter ni. Saya nak cakap ngan pakcik tu je..
Uncle1: Dia dah balik. Kesian kat dia tak dapat meniaga hari ni. Keta kat sini kena alih bla bla bla
Me: .........
Uncle1: Derang ada anak 7. Kesian malam ni tak dpt bagi anak2 makan bla bla bla

Mind you, Uncle1 spoke roughly and with a hint of sarcasm. He didn't even listen to me. All he did was repeating my fault. Yes I know, I know I was wrong. But pointing my fault is not the solution ok? I need to know who is the spot's owner so that I can go and meet him and apologize etc etc. So, I was a bit annoyed with him.

So I asked the other guy who sat there listened quietly to our conversation:

Me: Tempat ni siapa punya? Laki ke pompuan?
Uncle2: Laki bini.
Me: Owh..dia ada sini tak? Dia dah datang?
Uncle2: Dah..dia dah mai sini dah..pastu dia nampak keta parking ni..dia balik lah..
Me: .....

and

I CRIED OKKKKKKKKK!!! bukan sikit2. Siap kuar air mata laju2 ok.

Then terus I ran away tanak dia tgk I nanges. Haiyohh...thinking back, I really don't know why I cried. All I remembered is, I was soo sad that I couldn't take it.

Imagine, you penat2 datang bring all your stuffs to open you stall, but you have to turn back and go home. Sedih takkk?

MrComot was so surprised to see me crying so he asked:

MrComot: Eh why are u crying? Pakcik tu marah you ke?
Me: No no.. me just sedih. (I quickly response takut dia salah faham with the pakcik).
MrComot: Hey don't worry to tell me. Me won't go marah2 pakcik tu.
Me: *sobbing* No..dia tak marah..
MrComot: Cakaplahh..me bukannnya nak go and cincang2 pakcik tu. We can go and mark muka dia, so kita tahu pakcik ni lah yg buli you and lepas we can think what we want to do with him next.

I was like..what? I know he's being protective but this is the first time he's so stern with something and it scares me ok.

After I told him everything, including how I feel he said,

MrComot: Sayang ni.....sayang tak boleh jadi candidates for nobel peace prize
Me: Eh why?
MrComot: Because to win that you have to be humanitarian and banyak menolong. Nanti you tgk menda2 sedih, tak sempat you nak tolong you yang nanges2 dulu


Hahaha..funny ok.


Btw, to that particular pakcik, sorrrryyyy sesangat. I hope, your day won't be that bad ;(

Fetish

MrComot has this one weird fetish, he likes to play with my tudung. Bukan main jiwang-jiwang tu, but suka tarik-tarik and making weird shape at the face.

Last two day is the worst, I was busy typing in front of the PC, he came standing, so I stop and asked 'What is it?'. Suddenly he pushed small plastic wrapper under my tudung at the forehead. Then he ran away and giggled. Boleh tak? Tak pasal-pasal kan.

His most favourite action is the ninja. He likes to fold my scarf until my face become box-shaped, and then pull end of the scarf across my face, imitating the veil.

The ninja wannabe. See the big fold side by side.

The box-shaped is soo buruk okkk. It made me looks like Indon or org Acheh (no offense here but they do wear their scarf like that). Dah la my face is kinda chubby and big kan. Horror okkkk! But sometimes I layankan lah jugak since he likes it sooo much.

Oh ya..I asked him btw:

andes`: why u suka me buat ninja?
MrComot: sbb muka u bulat mcm bola
MrComot: jadi ninja tu makes u more aerodynamic


Motif?

Hmmmpphhhh!!!


So you guys ada ke fetish pelik2 ni?

Silly thing he does

I was trying to log on one of the server in the office when this happen:



I was like, haaaaahhhhhhhhh apa pulakkk niiiiiii.

Then I ym him.

andes`: heyy
andes`: sjadksafhdlksfsd
andes`: betulkan my osc gateway
MrComot: eh what's wrong?
andes`: [-(
andes`: main222222222222222
MrComot: mana ada sayangggggggggggggg
MrComot: me tak fahammmmmmmm
andes`: [-(
andes`: sayang ni notti eh
andes`: me nak letak dlm blog
MrComot: sayanggg
MrComot: apa yg u nak letak dlm blog?
MrComot: me tak faham la sayang
andes`: server me kena hack
MrComot: ehhhh?
MrComot: u dah report abuse tak?
andes`: belum..about to
MrComot: nak me tolong trace tak?
andes`: me nak letak dlm blog
MrComot: hey apa yg u letak?
andes`: me nak letak osc gateway and this conversation
MrComot: !@#*&!@)#(&!@()#&)(@$

andes`: sayang tak bagi, me tak letak la
MrComot: sayang me asyik kena hack je
MrComot: sayang byk download porno ke?

MrComot: are u sure u kena hack?
andes`: me nak cakap u dengki ngan me
andes`: tak kisah la u bagi ke tak
andes`: my blog is my personal journal lalalala
MrComot: :P

Bolehhh takk? Till the end he still acts like nothing happen. Then I tried to log in again. Well, it back to the 'ordinary' one.

The normal box

Well, if you know MrComot up close, he is not the romantic type. He doesn't buy me flowers, chocs, shower me with sweet words etc etc. So, whenever he does something silly like this, hmm.. I feel cute ;)

I just want to keep this as my personal remembrance.

Oh ya, he doesn't read my blog.

Meeting Bellabedot

I rarely meet new friends (bloggers especially). Zaman IRC dulu adalah..but strictly for guys only. Gedik kan? :P Anyway, I met Bella last Saturday!!!

Ahhhh TAK SANGKA ok. Nope, bukan tak sangka finally will meet this domestic goddess (bodek baik punya) but, tak sangka I can drag myself from my cave and meet new people. Whatever it is, the meet-up was sooo great!

Actually the real purpose is to get the CDs that she's been willingly burnt for me. Well, Bella, telling you the truth, I budget meeting you for lunch then we kiss good bye, but it turned out we stick together until midnight! Haha.. unbelievable.

We meet up at Yow Chuan for Porto Romano (she's been bragging about this chicken stuffed with cheese), so I decided to give it a try. And tell you what, it was sooooo gooooooood! At first, I thought a normal chicken cordon bleu but it's totally different. Yummy giler ok!

I am a sucker for soup. Any kind of soup (but I prefer the clear broth than the thick creamy one). So I tried the French onion loaf soup. It's yummylicious!

Onion soup. Sedap!!! Clear soup with onion slices and soft bread spread with cheese. Nyam!

MrComot had lasagna. He said it's nice.

This is the outstanding chicken breast stuffed with cheese and topped with mushroom sauce. I must try to cook this someday. But the sauce is the best ever and will be the trickiest I think. Sedap giler the sauce ok. I can 'drink' more than the serving.

Bella ordered this, but dia makan berapa slices aja! Unfair ok! It is 4 seasons something. Ok too, but I am not a pizza person. Ehh..but I ate 2 slices ok! The pepperoni and olive.

The dessert. Penna Cotta (I think so..mcm lupa2 nama dia). Quite nice. Not too sweet and kinda refreshing. Mcm minty sikit. But I wish they pour more chocolate sauce :P

We were stuffed like pigs. At least I felt so :P

Oh ya..How to describe Bella eh? She talks talks and talks. Hahahaha. I mean it in a good way. She's so full of herself and that makes her cute. And she looks wayy younger than her age. 25 top.

Instead of parting, we went to watch Awake which is actually kinda disappointed. It's too draggy and emotional. I need to watch this type of movie in front of my laptop while hugging my pillow, so that I can concentrate and get emotional ahahaha. Anyway Bella siap titon ok! Haiyohh makcik ni. Nasib baik titon lite2 so takde bunyi2 *lalalalalalala*

Then we had our dinner at Ah Quan IceCream. This is one of my favourite eating spot. The food and drinks are variety and well prepared. The price is reasonable too. Too bad I didn't snap any picture at that time. I was having a monthly cramp and nobody remember to snap the food as well. Oh ya, the initial plan is, eat and get lost (like around 830pm) so that I can have a good lie and rest. I don't know what happen, but the cramp gone and we stayed until 12++ am. Maybe my stomach is having fun listening to celoteh Bella ahahaha. It was really strange, but I like it though. Relieved in fact. Siapa yg selalu kena this cramp tahu lah how bad it can be. Siap muntah2 ok :(

Bee and Meg joined us in the middle and our table soo meriah. With the food, the company, the ambiance, the borak2. So funny pulak thinking, Bella and Meg sibuk la pasal Macintosh, Bee and MrComot sibuk la pasal sombong tak contact and me hahaha..sibuk nak tergelak ok. It was soo nice and relaxing. The couple took off round 10 or 11 mcm tu, leaving us chatting again! Seriously tak ingat cakap apa but it was really fun.

In the end, we parted around 12 am. Tu pun because the shop is going to close. There were only 2 groups in the diner, and both are waiting siapa nak move dulu. In the end both have to go sbb the worker already pulling down the iron blind ;P

Bella, it was so nice meeting you. Seriously balik malam tu still teringat2 kat you (hahaha mental ok). And I kinda miss you on the next day. Miss your talking kut. Now I know why Lekiu melekat kat you :P

Thanks for the movie and dinner treat. That was soo generous of you. Oh yaaa! Thanks for the CDs too!!!! On Sunday morning I terus tgk Army of the Darkness okkkkk and gelak sorang2 hahaha.

Bella, nanti kita deting2 lagi okay!
