14 Degrees

which woman dun love shopping??
i simply love shopping! i love the ambience while shopping and i simply love the fact that im freakingly spoilt for choices when shopping.

pls dun be mistaken. im not referring to shoping in boutiqeus, shopping malls etc.

i love shopping in… SUPERMARKETS! yes, u heard me right. i love shopping in supermarkets. be in carrefour, NTUC, shop and save, giant… for me, the bigger the supermarket, all the better.

i so love the many many varieties of ice creams, spices, tidbits etc. and ooooo.. the many many cheese and baking stuffs and potato chips and bread and pastries.

so every time we go out to spend etc, i will always drag B to the supermarket under the reason of wanting to buy sumting for my mum or baby. padahal its just to walk around and see all the different kind of food that that supermarket has. in the end, we will buy sumting, but not for my mum nor my baby. it will for my hubby who spotted sumting different and he wanted to try it.

hehe.. so fun right?

oooo.. another place i love to go is Mustafa Centre! really~! but only under one condition, i will only go there with someone, never alone and only after 11pm. hehe.. at least tak ramai orang sangat ah..

the whole place from b1 to 5th level is like WOW!!! aku suuuuuuuuuuukkaaaaa skaliiii! we will always end up buying a cart full of stuffs! hehehehe… and for that same reason, we will always go Mustafa Centre once a month. hehe.. nanti B’s pocket’s lubang makin besar lak.. hehe..

come to think of it… this month lum pergi Mustafa Centre seh!!! dang..

B!!!! tonite ai mai?? =p

the hubster’s away for a 2-day company seminar in KL…

weak.
bored.

sian ah!

i dun like giving presentations..
i simply dun like the idea of going up in front of many pple and present…
not that i have stage fright… damn if i had stage fright, i wouldnt b winning awards with my Princesses for our performances..

u may say it is different cos with the Princesses, we are in a group..
it doesnt matter really, as long as you have stage fright, you are just afraid to face a large audience..

this time round, i am required to read up another of M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t services, S.h.a.r.e.p.o.i.n.t.
and i am required to do a presentation to alll the HODs in the company..
damn! part reading up is ok.. part nak buat report tu ok gak.. ni nak buat presentation lak..
double damn!

the last report that i had to do (S.e.l.e.c.t l.i.c.e.n.s.i.n.g dari M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t gak) was not so bad lah.. quite interesting..
yg ni abit boring cos the presentation i have to do is those basic knowledge stuffs that the HODs need to know.

but i do foresee alot of unsatisfied faces cos with this service implemented, my team will not be bogged down with last minute requests for folder reation in the server etc. ni semua dorang dah leh buat sendiri and they will be accountable for their own teams.

padan muka dorang..
no more manja requests for IT to this and that for them..
BOLAYAN! hmph!

hmmm.. so maybe it is not so boring afterall eh..
maybe i should impose so much info for them to swallow that they will die ternga-nga there and then.
that will make the presentatiion fun eh.. hehe

=========================================

when the 3 of us get together, we can say that all hell breaks loose.
dari blum kawin, sampai kawin, sampai dah beranak, sama gak..

the eldest will always be bullied by the younger 2…
cos the eldest is always the soft spoken one.
the younger 2s cried when her solmenization went on smoothly, this is after the many hurdles that she had went thru..
the younger 2s were there…. so they knew..

the youngest will always have her way of speaking her mind out..
will always have her share of manja-ness with the elder 2..
works her butt off to get what she has achieved now…
God played many tests on her and yet, she is still strong…

the middle one, is married, has a kid and getting fatter.
hmm.. leading a normal life with irritating pple working as her colleagues.. (atually not pple lah, person)
prefer to just shut up than blast her guts out of anger..

the relationship the 3 has can never be described correctly..
they are more than frens, more than family…

whatever the relationship is, i love you both k..

============================================

my princess has grown an awful lot..
she just turned 20 mths on National Day..
oh gosh she has learnt so much and each time she shows what she has learnt, i look at her in awe.
mcm tak percaya tu anak aku sendiri..
at times i can just sit and look at her from far, just to see what her next antics are..

just the other day we went to an ice cream parlour just to satisfy some icecrea cravings..
we bought an ice cream mudpie and 2 scoops of icecream..
her dad already declared the mudpie all his..
while his daughter declared the 2 scoops of icecream to her own… leaving the mummy curi2 here and there. hmph!

here’s the daughter and her self-declared ‘All Iffah’s’ 2 scoops of ice cream..

and here’s the father and daughter.. berpakat not to let mama eat the ice cream..

yes yes..
for some of you out there, u must be suprised that i am still bunking at my parents’ place.
i dun find it embarassing at all, cos hubster & i do help out in the groceries expenses and the bills etc. so we are not living there for free u know.

Another plus point of living with parents, which some pple dun see, is that we (the newly weds THAT TIME lah) akan ditegur about things that are not right.. takle ikut sesuka hati, mentang2 dah kawin kan…

another plus plus point is, my parents help to take care of the little one.
nobody better to take care of your child but your own family, esp parents. u are ensured that whatever was taught to you will be passed down to your children.

of cos there are minus points as well, but there’s always 2 sides to a coin kan?

ok moving to the main topic..
hubster n i are on the search for the perfect abode for us…
a place we can call our own and design and decide what’s nice etc on our own…
H-d-B always have the bimonthly sale launches that i always look forward to.
and recently, the ones for units in Sengkang caught my eyes.

We went to recce the whole of SK the other day and i set my eyes on this particular area.
its very near the mall, near a primary school, has superarket withing the vicinity w/ having to go to the mall and a park..
very nice.. tho the units there are only executive units.. garuk kepala kejap seh..

and so we decided to bring both sets of parents to go and view the area..
then MIL had to tell me stret in the face ‘jgn amik rumah sana eh’
aik??
lum pergi dah taknak? hmm..

i then found out that my aunt (MIL’s sister) is living in the same area and told her about that area being ‘keras’
aunt’s hubby came back late one night and was parking the car at the multistorey carpark and saw that ‘kakak’ bertenggek nearby him.. aisehman… kecut perut aku dgr…
dats the same carpark that hubster park his car as well!
I AM FREAKING SURE that hubster knows abt that beforehand or maybe he saw the ‘kakakS’ before.
cuma hubster aku ni iman kuat, and more to tak kuasa nak layan benda2 mcm ni.. hehe

i always have this prinsip.. kalau org tua dah suara sekali, baik jgn..
biarlah take a longer time to get a house rather than getting a house that brings us trouble.
i have a kid to think about as well pe..

and so when i tot the search is finally over, it just went back to square one.
next week ada another launch for matured estates.. so i will have to wait for that lah..

actually nasib baik jgk lah MIL ckp siang2..
kalau tak nanti, aleh2 baju dlm aku sidai pat umah baru ilang jer, sbb ‘kakak’ pat sana nak play dress up. =p

the big chong had an accident at work.. that’s my dad fyi.
he had a fall on Monday and landed on his left.. quite a big impact and in the end, had to be sent to the hospital.
he fractured his 7th left rib and his left wrist.

yg buat aku marah tu, he was in hospital (shall not say the name here) from evening and had to wait for sometime for an xray.
dah gitu takpe, dahlah tunggu lama, after xray he had to wait at the observation area for admission to a ward.
pukul 2lebih pagi baru dpt bed. the hospital side said takda katil to admit my dad in.. ARGH~!
sakit telinga aku dengar..

then when we arrive at the hospital yesterday morning, his left hand was bandaged up and supported with a sling.
he couldnt move much cos of the massive pain in his rib.

the MO(Medical Officer) came and informed my dad that he’s gonna do another xray for my dad before can be released home.
mcm siak.. duduk pat katil tak sampai satu hari, then lepas tu dah leh balik. NABEH! dats $$$ u know!
takpe.. memandangkan Big Chong aku ok, then aku pun ok ajer lah.
but i kno i would not spare the MO so easily.
I asked him SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many questions that he was stunned.
how’s the xray results? y do u need another xrauy if the results are good? how long does my dad have to wait for the next xray? y do we have to wait so long when you said you have fixed an appointment? why isnt my dad served with breakfast when it is already past 11am? how long does he need to recover if you are not doing anything to the rib fracture?

i tell u, if you are the MO at that moment, you will be regretting your life standing there in front of me..

then another farked up thing, big chong was eating (finally) then a staff nurse came and took his BP and temperature.
BODOH KAN!!! org tu kan tgh mkn! another nabeh for that!
mak aku suruh diam.. so aku diam jer lah. buat layan iffah jer.. buat tak nampak..

when all’s done and settled, we went home..
thinking about how my iffah love to pester her grand-dad, hubster and i decided to bring her out, just so that my mum and dad can rest at home.
when we came back, there were so many pple who came visiting..
my aunts and uncles and my in-laws came as well..
lucky for my mum, my aunts were helping her out at the kitchen, so wen i came back, i took over from them..

then today, im back at work.. and mom said there’s gonna b visitors again.. well, cant help it if Big Chong’s got alot of friends and we have alot of extended family members.

some pple advised me to get a temporary maid so that the maid can help my mom out with the housework etc..
sure that’s a good idea.. i totally agree that is definitely a load off from my mom..

BUT did these pple tink if I aka MOI aka SAYA aka ME have the cash to spare?? NO!
maybe they are thinking we are so well to do that we have the cash to spare all the time is it????

MAYBE they need to be reminded that if they were to pay back the HUTANG that they owe to my family, THEN i CAN AFFORD not only ONE, not TWO or maybe FOUR FREAKING maids for my family to relax goyang kaki.

HOW ABT THAT????? *&(^%*#($*(&^*%$!*@#*()_$)%&*#^*($^*($T)

p.s: anyways, Big Chong’s ok.. resting at home.

finally the bride puts up the long awaited pics.. thanks eh D! ;p

her solemnization ceremony was a very emotional one for me and beshie..
cos we have been with the bride for so many years and we know the ups and downs in her life..
the moment the solemnization was complete (lafaz skali jer babe! sayang bini betol eh hasrul! hehe), my tears was already flowing. tahan nyer tahan tetap mengalir jugak.

alhamdulillah everything was going very smooth..
and my princess oso taknak lepas chance to ‘meriahkan’ suasana by making alot of noise in the bilik pengantin.. geram aku!

anyways, all that aside. she is now enjoying her marital bliss and back to work! hehe..

u take care D and u know we are always here for you, no matter what.

p.s: oh yah!! mana gambar yg kita ber-4 ajer??? NAK YANG ITU JUGAK!!!!

memandangkan keghairahan aku nak tgk sgt tu cerita Heroes, aku tgk jgk benda alah as soon as i finished copying out fro ym fren’s hdd…
lepas lunch jer, aku dok ilek and tgk lah benda tu..
hehehe..

next.. EPISODE 20!!!

so katak.. ko dah start download lum? hehehe…

and yes ida! aku nak Supernatural gak.. aku leh barter trade dgn ko k.. kita ketepikan si katak tu k… :p

======================

updates: here’s my princess as of April 2007, 16 months old…

it’s my baby’s birthday this saturday… err.. let me correct this… it’s my BIG BABY’s birthday aka hubster… he turns 27 this year, and as per normal, he received his advanced birthday gift from me…

dunno y but i am always eager to give him his present way before his birthdate. kengkadang tu, ada terlambat jugak ah… this year hubster received gifts from his workers and his boss as well…

about 2 weeks ago, his old branch at HGM had a chalet gathering sbb HGM branch dah close down, so kononnyer buat get-together for the last time ah. masa tu lah hubster kena sabo dgn ice cold water mixed with dishwashing liquid. well, i know they were having a suprise for him and they asked me to pakat with them… alah hal mcm ni confir pakat nyer! hehe..

another thing i pakat wwith them is… when i saw them preparing the things to sabo him, i made a concoction of love for my dearest hubster… i mixed ice water, with dishwashing liquid and kicap pekat… hehe.. taklah teruk sgt, sbb pat chalet tak ada byk benda… didnt manage to get any pics for the sabo session cos my hands were full with hubster stuffs i.e. hanfon, rokok etc. and the other hand, our darling princess.

lepas kena sabo, barulah dorang kasi present… nak tau apa?

pen Mont Blanc! lawa sak… must have cost the a bomb to get this for their manager..

well… rezeki laki aku lah tu..

then 2 days ago, my hubster’s boss gave him another Mont Blanc pen…

 another nice piece…

then i gave him this…

 vintage Liverpool Jersey… limited edition nyer (i tink) hehe.. anything for this hubster of mine…

so HAPPY BIRTHDAY BA!!!! May you be blessed with neverending happiness and peace.. May you be blessed with longevity… Mayyou be blessed with a promotion and pay-raise so you can treat me to a holiday in Turkey! hehehehehe! Love you! muahz!
