Unpredictability and Surprises

Crap Cartoons

2012-01-27T09:46:00.002+08:00

I watched a couple of Malaysian cartoons within this week like Bola Kampung and something something Saga(aliens).... I was really disappointed and PISSED. Hubby once proposed a cartoon pahlawan with a demo and was Nickelodeon quality, 10 times better than these cartoons with all the square jaw heros you can find and the baddest thugs, but tidak diluluskan.

Then they go on choosing these distorted looking people with their eyes too far away from their heads and mediocre aliens with the least animation you could ever seen on tv..... OMG............ This is utterly ridiculous. Have you listened to the music background and their drawings? It's so crappy. Ugh....... I regret even wanting to watch 1 episode of it.

Nasib baik Upin Ipin and Boboiboy are great 3D animations.

I guess the anak Datuk or Tan Sri with all the daddy's money can buy them their sucky cartoon series. What a waste.

Yummylicious 4WD's.

Shigoto, Shigoto!(Work, Work!)

2012-01-07T00:34:00.000+08:00

I would say I'm very proud of myself if I am still working at the same place until February. By then it'll be the 4th month I have stayed at the same company for 4 months. Although they don't pay me that much but I'm it's a cushy job, nearby my house, they like to cuti a lot huahuahauhaua.

Christmas dorang cuti 1 minggu, Chinese New Year nanti pun 1 week juga. Olala... Meanwhile I'm trying to find a permanent job. Since hubby's just starting his work and Idraki's fee's is like paying for college I really don't care what job I can get my hands on. As long as he continues going to his school until the end of 2012.

I would really be happy if Idraki dapat suaikan diri at public school but to play it safe, I am going to visit a private school somewhere near the vacinity during my 1 week cuti before they close registrations. I like the idea of having lesser kids in one class. In other words, plan B is always gooooood.

This may sound crazy but I'm enjoying my boss and her friend parading their outfits each time arrive at the office. When it's casual Friday, the other lady which has a daughter around 22 years old wore a rocker chick Ed Hardy outfit to work with spiked belt to support her black skirt. I mean seriously, that is great fashion! If I have a hidden camera with me, I would probably take their pictures everyday and upload it to my tumblr. Stalker kan!!

Dear E

Five years ago hubby's best friend since high school had brain tumor. They operated the tumor and 3 years later it grew back in a size of a ping pong ball. It was too risky to operate so they gave him a much stronger medication.

When he could control his seizures, he went for speech therapy. He can talk but the best he could do was to pronounce 1 word veeery slowly. I know instantly each time when he calls to our house. It took him a couple of seconds just to finish his salaam to me. Each time he called, hubby wasn't home so I did the talking and told him Hubby will call him back.

A week ago Hubby was told that he wasn't doing so good. Half of his body is now paralyzed. He can't wake up and could just lie down on his bed. Hubbys being a good friend he is would visit him after working hours and would buy him some snacks for him to eat.

I think E's mother's really sad. She cooked mutton for us three and some roasted potatoes. She also gave some dark chocolate which was superb. Of course it must've been hard on her. She seldoms sends us food. Usually it's just leftovers from parties we attended. I don't know what's on her mind. I know no one wants their son to be sick. Whatever it is, God gave E that path of life. Whatever it is, it is also a blessing and his rezeki.

I hope he always remembers Him and always du'a for the God Almighty. One should always appreciate and accept what God has given to you. It will make your life less stressful because acceptance of whatever negative that you have will make that negative go away. It makes you apprecieate things more and lifts the burden in your chest. It will make you happy by releasing the negativity and you will start to focus on the things that makes you grateful in your life even if you aren't living in the perfect world.

To E, thank you for being my hubby's best friend. You have been there for him for a very long time. Through all those years. Through thick and thin. I wish we all could sit in one table again and laugh and joke like the good all days. I hope you will be strong and patient. I hope you'll have faith in God. I hope there will still be happiness within your heart.

Last Post from the year 2011

2011-12-31T18:23:00.000+08:00

After almost one year of on and off again working as a temp, I think I'm up for the challenge to get a permanent job. Unless if I get pregnant any time soon, I'll rethink it all over again.

The end of 2011 is today and of course I'm sure everyone has sematkan dlm hati or on a piece of paper. Work on those intentions people, work it hard!

As of this week, I have successfully registered my son at SK. TTDI. I went to the school on Wednesday to get everything done but of course had some infos from husband. My phone was barred so had to go back home. Then on Thursday went there about 450pm.

Who would've known... well I didn't that goverment offices closes at 430pm. One teacher told me to come by again tomorrow as early as 8am but a nicer cikgu took my documents and said, "Tengok dulu dokumen2 ni." Lepas tu she did the registration all by herself, even though the person in charge sudah balik. Alhamdulillah. Saya memaaaang teramat bersyukur.

If nothing goes wrong, good lah. 2nd choice is private school. My original plan was to register him at SRS Simon Fung, Kota Kinabalu. But now hubby's working here so new plans lah, apa buli buat(sedih tu bah.. tapi sudah terima kenyataan sudah).

Look on the bright side, SK TTDI 1 is a brilliant school, UPSR always score punya walaupun no more UPSR but you get my drift. Kids pun from a good neighbourhood. I can't believe he's starting Tahun 1 soon. Haih, each time I think about it, each time rasa macam mau nangis, sebak when thinking that time goes by so quick.

As for getting pregnant, we are still trying. The good thing is, I am no longer dependant on Herbalife to make my period datang. I am trying on a 1200 calories per day and started Zumba and Jillian Michael's exercise. Next step, I'm eating wheat once a week only, during my free day. If I want lah. Hubby is on a no wheat diet as well and he lost like 2 % of fat within 2 freaking weeks! From 2 packs to 4 packs of abs. You guys should read and watch Shawn Croxton's idea. He's really serious about why wheat is the source of all evil. (Should I insert a LOL here indicating that I'm being funny?)

For You, Sabah.

2011-12-17T01:25:00.000+08:00

Dear Sabah,

How I miss you so. I miss my parents, I miss my friends, I miss the ocean. Dear God, please let me have a bit of your rezeki so that I can see the land where I was born again for I cannot stand this heartache. My son misses his grandparents too and has been asking then and again. He asks me to bring him to the sea and decribes his memories to me.

Dear God, please guide me and give me strength and patience to go through all this. Ameen.

Not Finished Yet Loh

2011-11-30T20:09:00.000+08:00

Today I jokingly said to the lady boss, So today's my last day right? No need to come back tomorrow? Then she was surprised. Ehh... we still got a lot of work not finished yet loh. We still need your help.

Then I smiled at her and said, Okay no problem. Saja mau tinguk muka suspense boss. Harharhar!!

By the way, Alhamdulillah.... Hubby has gotten his ACE Cert today!! Now moving on to FISAF Level 2.

Work Peon Work!!

2011-11-19T14:06:00.002+08:00

I'm currently on a temp job for 2 months. Hubby's on his new job as a Personal Trainer in Bangsar. Hubby's really lucky Alhamdulillah to have Ozzy bosses that are so kind. After two months of interviewing, he finally got the job. The reason he got the job is not because he's layak but because 'he wants the job'. That's Mat Salleh for you! His boss won't hire people who not just qualify but is passionate about sports and really serious about training people.

Pantai Medical Center Bangsar has opened up a new physio terapy center at the Victoria club and his gym will be taking in clients for post physio sessions. It's just a coincidence that they are in need for a new PT. The bosses are also generous cause they will pay their workers education fees if they want to further studies for the "first time."

To be a PT there, your physical fitness level has to be 150/200. After 2 weeks tweaking his training(no more weights but more on flexability & endurance) hubby has managed to get 114/200 and lost 3% of fat. He has two more months to get to 150! Before taking the test, he thought they would test him on strengh training but he was wrong. They tested whether he can do 100 push ups or not. Crazy oh!

As for me I really have to lose these weight :P. Kin malu oh laki PT and bini still fat like this ayoo... I'm working till end of December. If cannot tahan, probably I'll apply for a temp position on some other company.

Why do you ask me I like to work on temp jobs? I do like to work on a short term basis. I get bored easily. I like being a stay at home mom. Probably if I find a suitable job for my fragile heart I'll take it. But as for now, I just can't make a commitment with the same company for more longer than 3 months. I am a drama queen and I am a complicated person. Plus, there is nothing wrong being a housewife now and then. Probably I should open a boutique for Plus Size women kan :D

So this time of the year... it's very challenging. Money is tighter than ever. Client dolu2 hubby selalu lambat bayar. Bila ditanya, tidak jawab.. but bab mau suruh buat kerja kena caps lock lagi messege to kalau lambat or tidak jawab in a couple of hours or a day. Frucking crazy!!!!!!! That's why it's just too crazy working as a freelancer for the rest of his life. Now, graphic design is okay lah for part time only. Until hubby gets his 100 hours of PT I'll have to help him a bit cari uwang. Lepas tu, ada cita2 mau balik KK lagi to see my parents (Idraki and mummy only)... have to find la pronto. The greatest thing is that hubby is willing to further his studies AT LAST for Personal Training/Sports Science... etc. Alhamdulillah...

For the first time ever I am feeling how both households are working. At 6pm, the traffic is quite slow to TTDI on the way to IQRA. If I send my son to his Kindy, make sure I go out of my house at 8am to avoid cars piling up along TTDI road. Crazy! I have never seen traffic jam that bad in TTDI. But heck yes in the morning around 830am. Paying parking on a daily basis at the office parking lot. 9am-6am work Monday to Friday. During the night, there are other chores to do. Weekend grocery shopping! Heck tiring! Here's pryaing there will be a burried treasure behind my house and I'll instantly a billionaire.

Tragic Train Accident in Petagas

2011-10-31T23:50:00.007+08:00

TheStar Gallery

Today's the day that the lorry minyak langgar the new Sabah train. Truly tragic... Here's praying that everything will be alright. Sabah will have to fix the tracks, station and trains again. Last time I went back Oct/Nov 2010 they were testing the new tracks and trains.

If I'm not mistaken it had just started operating again for a couple of months carrying passengers. Before that, maintenance for like what since 2005/2006? Itu pemandu lorry pun satu, kenapa ndak pandai sabar. Menyusahkan orang betul. Telampau selfish.

There are loads of rumours I heard today. My brother was at the tempat kejadian. Dorang pegi interview2 orang2 di sana. Ngam2 ada video pula tu and tengah buat shooting for their last college project. Apa lagi, ambik kesempatan lah. What I heard from my brother was pretty bad. He saw what happened to the driver. I don't know whether he meant lorry or train driver. Adui... Apa2 pun, memang cukup traumatize orang orang di KK sebab KK mana la pernah ada kemalangan besar2 mcm ni.

My prayers to all the victims. Alhamdulillah it rained a bit while the fire fighters were busy putting out the fire.

Ouija Board Experience

2011-10-20T15:55:00.000+08:00

Zoe Favole

Out of many times I played Ouija Board from Grade School through High School, there's this one time and last apparently I remember so much. Cause it made me quite playing Spirit spirit/Ouija Board.

I remembered it was getting dark, almost Maghrib and I was having fun with my own made Ouija Board. I asked away the future, my high school crush... endless questions. Then the soalan cepu emas I made was what will happen tomorrow. Will I see my high school crush? Where? What shirt will he be wearing? ... and some other questions.

The coin was moving by the touch of my hand. 70% of me thought it must've been me and this is crazy but with a great fascination of ghosts and other mysticism, I was stuborn enough to continue playing even I've been warned not to by my Chinese friends.

A typical girl having a high school crush that later became my ex bf(okay too much info)... The exact question I asked was where will I meet him tomorrow and what will he wear? The answer was YES, LIBRARY and RED. After some other questions, my mom asked me to come out for dinner.

I forgot everything of course until I after went to the library and saw my crush wearing a red shirt. Then remembered my Ouija Board session. I didn't dare tell a soul until today. NEVER again I was gonna play that thing.

NEVER!

Have you guys encountered such things with Ouija Boards?

(ps: yes, I know that jins buat macam tu supaya menyesatkan orang. save your ceramah please, I've done my readings.)

Silent Hill Inspired Pictures Part 2

2011-10-13T14:45:00.002+08:00

This might be your only place of solace from the outside world of Silent Hill. But you can't hide in there forever can you?

I remembered Heather going along a misty pathway in search of a way out of Silent Hill. Some bad guys chasing after her. She was so battered and bruised that she couldn't run as fast any more.

This is exactly like the Central Square Shopping Centre in Silent Hill. Room after room, you try and find out clues and hiding from monsters. Thrilling!

Some places you have to creep. If you miss a step, they'll come an git yoo.

Poor Heather had to drag herself all alone in search of the truth. Suddenly her radio's making a static sound. The atmosphere changed, the road lights turned off, it was pitch black. She she turned on her flashlight and she can see red splotches everywhere. Welcome back to the other world... Heather.

Nope nothing here. Oh wait, what's on top of that medicine cabinet? Ammo? Thank goodness!

You have to slay the zombie nurses before you can find any clues in here.

Suddenly in a corner of the swings were one tortured soul of a small kid. Face barely recognized but she wants to help you in any way. Like it or not, you have to talk to her. As she shared her shattered past, you wonder who would do such a thing like this? It was your destiny to find out.

Decisions Decisions...

2011-10-12T15:53:00.000+08:00

I'm slightly confused here. Hubby is starting full time job at a fitness centre soon. The job requires him to work until night. I want and neeeeeed to have a job. I don't like working but I do like the feeling of getting gaji from one month to the other. The feeling of not having to depend on my husband for everything.

Back to the confusion or rather susah hati is that I might be going home around 6pm or 630pm and my son will be in day care. I really don't like to trouble other family member to pick my son up. Segan gitew... Having butterflies in my stomach.

Silent Hill Inspired Pictures Part 1

2011-10-10T08:30:00.080+08:00

Captions made regarding pictures are refering to Silent Hill. Come, lets take a walk down the memory lane.

This picture is photoshopped with blood like atmosphere. In the game usually the zombie nurses are in one of the room waiting for you.

Usually you'll get to visit the playground during the night. You'll eventually meet up with what you can call the most cutest thing in this game which is Robbie the Rabbit.

This is the boiler room. Don't you just love it when they make this the place where you fight the monsters here? With limited space... Just perfect.

The infamous horrifying subway where you have to pass the dark corridors with slithering monsters like Ju-On/The Ring. From one corner you see something moving so slow but you can't avoid it so you just have to wait till it gets closer to beat the bejeezus out of it.

There must be a chapel chapter where you get to meet the big boss and it tortures you....

Creepy when you have to walk pass by a moving carousel alone at night. The only thing with you is a radio, a flashlight and a blunt object. Just to make things worst, your radio starts making the thing that you don't want to hear... static sound, meaning the monsters are there. They'll be lurking behind the dark edges of the abandoned play rides.

A room where once an orphan lived... where they have to follow Mother's orders. You do not want to upset Mother or she'll get ugly.

Next Entry: Abandoned Places and Why I Love It.

2011-10-09T08:30:00.001+08:00

Next entry will be creepy and I don't know whether you will find it distrubing but I found 2 marvelous albums of how the developers of Silent Hill (link does not have gore pics) got their inspiration and how the whole Silent Hill was set up.

If you are a fan of this survival horror games, you might recognise some photos as it's really creeps you the heck out or how your stomach will churn whenever you see a particular place due to some scary event that will happen.

For those of you which are unfamiliar with Silent Hill, it's developed by a Japanese game company named Kanomi. The genre of this game is called survival horror . As you play along this game, the amount blood and all things gruesome will become more and more intense. It has so much gore that only some people can stand playing it. Not for the weak heart and not for pregnant ladies of course.

Only that what I'm going to upload won't be anything related to gore but I just LOVE abandoned places. To me it has so much history and stories behind it. One look at an old abandoned house with roots and mosses building up inside it makes me wonder what happened to that place, how it was like when it was brand new and beautiful filled with people bustling here and there. I wonder why people just leave some furnitures to rot there. What happened to that building? Why hasn't it been torn down? You know stuff like that. Some places just has that serenity even though it's old and tattered.

I shall now compile those pictures in this cold and dark night...

Who Are You People?

2011-10-08T08:30:00.001+08:00

I don't know about you guys but I do receive lost letters/emails from people that I don't know from time to time. Most probably they typed the wrong email address. Sometimes, I have already told them they got the wrong email but the emails still keep on coming.

Bots? Tracking thingy? Spam? :P

Here's an example:

Dear Sarah

Your letter has been sitting by my computer since February, waiting for me to write and say how much I appreciated and was thrilled that you and Alastair came to the concert. It meant a lot to me that you were there to share it, and I know you had to sort lots of arrangements to be there. It was a fun evening! I managed to freeze lots of the birthday cake and extracted it for both Mum and my birthdays, so the celebrations went on and on!

It has been a busy summer mostly in my garden. I also did a couple of days for Guy Woolfenden, playing in a chamber orchestra at Cannington near Bridgwater, which was fun. There has also been ongoing sorting out for Morwenna's wedding which is happening on Friday. Let's hope it is not too wet - the Dartington Morris Men are due to be dancing! ( Chris is a member but will NOT be dancing!!

I am writing this rather than tidying the house - at least I found the letter in the process of starting to do so!

I send you lots of love, and keep in touch.

Stay tuned for my next email from a total stranger.

Meet my Wife...

2011-09-23T21:11:00.004+08:00

I had a close from from Riyadh, a dude with initials NB. Hubby knows him too. I met NB when we were back in college. Long story short, he now is married, works as an Engineer in Riyadh. Has three lovely kids.

He found me in Facebook. It was like finding an old family friend. I was never attracted to him. He was like a brother to me. Sometimes he cooks and he brings all of his Saudi friends to eat and would invite me and a couple of friends. He's so generous with food and will always bring big boxes of food from Riyadh and the most exquisite baklava from Jordan each time the semesters are starting. His Yemeni friend Ahmed(can you believe it? I know 3 Ahmeds from Yemen. It's quite a famous name there!) cooks the best Arabic rice with milk/butter/chicken... to which I can't remember what it's called to this day. Now I can remember Ahmed as a very silly dude. I remember one day after a big feast, he just kept scraping and scraping the pot until he scraped all of the iron away. He just loves to make jokes to the girls and we would laugh till our tummy hurts!

So after everybody finished studying...they all went back to Jeddah, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Mecca and Riyadh.... their respective Arab countries. Life goes on, they get married, have babies... yadda yadda yadda. (Oh btw, my mom told me never marry and Arab because they'll want more than 4 wives... that left me traumatized! Yes, 4, gundik mana mau taruk kan. LOL!!!)

Okay back to the story, well... out of the blue probably NB doesn't want to have female friends anymore. He wants to clear his sins out. No more female friends for me! I am married with 3 kids. Alhamdulillah all boys, I'm sure his parents are proud. He didn't tell me face to face what was going on but each time I commented on his photos with his kids, he deleted it. I'm not that stupid, I can take a hint. I just felt weirded out. I was so frustrated with what he was doing. So of course I blocked my wall in FB so that he can't receive any of my newsfeed(like there's anything interesting).

Then one day this lady UmJi****(the standard Saudi name for "mother" combined with her 1st born son) befriended me. A suggested friend from NB. I accepted and found out that it was NB's wife. Suddenly it all hit me...... Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh so that's what's happening. Why is it so hard for him to just say it to me that he doesn't want to be friends with his past female college friends? All he had to do was send me a message. The after effects of the message will still be a bit harsh but I understand. I am a Muslim too. It's his choice.

The good thing is that I now have a new friend. She likes to cook and likes all of her gadget accessories white. She has 3 sons and they are all big boned, like tough little guys that you don't wanna mess with. She loves to cook a lot and prepare her dishes like in hotels. Just marvelous.

I told my close friend about this... I told her aku rasa macam kena buat bini kedua oh begini. I also told hubby the same statement and he laughed.

Here's to a blooming new friendship.

Rainbow Cake

2011-09-18T00:23:00.006+08:00

This was supposed to be Ramadhan hotness... Now not anymore but the wonderful cakes needs to be appreciated and admired and remembered because they are delicious and sedap and everything nice!

During Ramadhan, there was a stall in PARAM TTDI(Pasar Ramadhan TTDI) which sold Rainbow cakes. My sister in law went to find it twice I think? But never got the chance to buy it. I went there once and I came a bit too early cause the lady was stuck in a jam somewhere in Bangsar... hujan lebat(heavy rain), so not my rezeki to buy a single cake too that day.

Alhamdulillah, when my SIL told me that there was going to be a bazaar in Rasta and her friend is going to sell Rainbow cake as well I was delighted. I took the chance, had iftar in Rasta with hubby and son, bought two Rainbow cake slices and it was FABULOUS!!!

Every color had different flavor with sugar toppings as well. Yummmmylicious!

Took a couple days to finish.

Never enough..... never :D

Cameron Highlands Tea Plantation

Here are a couple of photos I took during our visit to Cameron Highland Tea Plantation. Mind you it was my first visit to a tea plantation during my entire life.

It was breathtaking. Beauftiful. With a lot of details! I just stared for what felt like an eternity while my husband and son ran along the tea bushes. Alas, I couldn't get any photos of them down below because the camera was acting up. Nevertheless, these photos are more than enough.

The Headhunter

2011-09-06T23:23:00.002+08:00

So I have a Japanese boss for my temp job. The office is very Japanese. As I entered the office, the boss asked me to put my shoes on the rack and use the indoor slippers. She then showed me her lovely Japanese garden even though it's in the 5th floor. It was very soothing indeed. It was unbelievable!

After a 3 hour long meeting she showed me the solar panels to which I forgot generated what... the electricity I guess? The office has so much Japanese in it. Even in the meeting room I felt like I was in a Japanese drama... and I was like, is this for real? Heck the office is supplied with Macs!

The 3 hour breifing introduced the temp workers( another lady and I) on what electronics, electrics, semiconductors, nano technology was all about(the industry). I felt like I was in school again but in the wrong class of course lol! Luckily the Manager asked us to read the whole engineering / manufacturing topic again on wiki before starting the hunt .

InsyaAllah, most probably I'll be working until December as a "headhunter".

P/S: I only get half an hour lunch time!

Atria Damansara Jaya Closed

2011-08-17T13:50:00.000+08:00

Atria's been closed for a while now. I've even heard they've closed the carpark too. Here's a quote from wikipedia:

In April 2011, OSK gave 3 months notice to all the Atria tenants to vacate the shopping complex by 26 July 2011. OSK had apparently obtained updated approval from MBPJ to demolish the existing development and to construct in its place 2 x 15 storey office blocks, a 4-storey shopping mall and 2 levels of underground car park. As of 26 July, the Language House remained operating at the Atria. A dispute involving the tenancy agreement dispute between the Language House and OSK is essentially unresolved. (sourced from the star.com.my).

Loads of memory going to that particular shopping mall although it's quite dingy but it has one of the greatest computer shop and lo ma gai I've ever tasted.

Angry Bird

2011-08-13T15:38:00.002+08:00

Everyday with his Red Angry Bird. He often tells me that the red Angry Bird is lonely cause he misses his friends and all the green piggies. Hint - hint suruh orang beli full set la tu.

Fried Pasta with Black Pepper

2011-08-11T17:39:00.000+08:00

This is fried pasta with black pepper, meat and bell peppers(although you can't see it) all in one. I've been cooking simple meals this time around. I bought the juicy chunks of meatballs from Tesco and it's Tesco's brand. They don't sell any Ramly meatballs or minced meat. Too bad, didn't have energy to search for other brands.

Tengok2, the meatballs and minced meat tastes like meat. Time puasalah mau beli meat padahal I'm not a fan of meat at all. Nafsu betul kan.

A Different Direction

2011-08-10T00:03:00.002+08:00

That's it, I told hubby. This is going to be the final year that you're going to do freelance. America's not doing so good right now so there are so much less clients than before. He usually would get weekly jobs from American clients but slowly it has dwindled down. *Insert rasberry sound here*

Germans should be very proud taking the first step as the most succesful country in the world as America has been downgraded only has AA+ credit now. Even the Asian stock markets are down. Eeep! Will the economy of the world slump down deeper in the future?

Even getting projects from big companies has its toll. The waiting process is long. The waiting for big bosses approval, for cheque clearances, for everything. Can you imagine the board had to wait for a Dato' to finish his fishing trip to get his answer(2 to 3 weeks). All he had to do was look at the designs and tell them which one he likes. Yalah, sudah nama big boss. Apa kau mau buat kan. Dulu while waiting can ask for the gringo's for some extra cash but man, that's what you get from getting 90% clients from America. Now you can totally hear crickets chirping happily.

Lets hope that whatever the plan is, it will follow through insyaAllah.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

2011-08-04T10:02:00.000+08:00

Salam Ramadhan to all my Muslim readers. Time flies so fast yet again and now it's Thursday. I am so thankful this year that I have the opportunity to sahur with Herbalife shakes again for the 3rd year(jgn tanya napa ndak kurus lagi ). It fills up my stomach until iftar, I am fully energetic all day and seriously I don't feel hunger pains all day long.

Magical!

Even it's only 3 scoops of F1 powder mixed with milk and water it does wonders. Anyways, what I really want to post today is about Red Velvet Cuppies. Intentionally I wanted to order them from Aunty E and give them as a present to my family in Sabah when I planned to go back there for Aidilfitri.

Since I'm not going there anymore I'm thinking should I order them anyways? It's RM2/ RM4 per cupcake(according to sizes) and the minumum order is 32 pieces of cuppies which costs RM128. I really can't get that Red Velvet cuppies off my mind. They taste so exquisite and so out of this world and Aunty E makes them amazingly delish!

Monster Feet

2011-07-22T21:05:00.001+08:00

Mommy can you please take a photo of my feet like this cause I wanna see it Idraki asked me. So here's the photo inspired by my son with both his feet and legs. He said it looks like a monster destroying everything down below. Good bye Sodor. Monster feet crashing all of you!

Trampoline, Lunch and Ultraman

2011-07-20T16:14:00.000+08:00

This is a picture of Idraki taking a breather after jumping non-stop on the trampoline at DARC. He insisted that I take his picture and wants to look at the screen if it's scary enough or not. Oh mommy that's so scarrry he told me.

He absolutely loves the trampoline but has a problem sharing it with other people. Last week we told him if you don't want to share we're going straight home. So he went out of the netted trampoline, put his shoes on and then told us I'm so hungry, I wanna eat now please, whilst pouting. So pandai buat taktik kan.

Whilst eating, a small orange Ultraman made an appereance, shook every kids hands and the mummies where busy taking photos of their kids with Ultraman. Some kids where crying, terrified of Ultraman and his big eyes. Idraki was a bit scared as well when Ultraman was nearing him. He inched a bit to my side, gulped his big chuck of chicken he just ate. He stared at the Ultraman guesturing to shake his hands. He shook Ultraman's hands doubtfully and I could see a relief in his face when Ultraman waved his hand goodbye.

The Conclusion

2011-07-20T10:53:00.000+08:00

This is crazy, I know it is. I felt with a heavy heart buying those tickets yesterday. I told myself okay, I'll buy the tickets for KK today after waiting for a couple of days after the moolah has arrived. Of course the price hiked up, partially it was my fault. The partial fault is blaming on late gaji.

After two hours of trying to compare the cheapest tickets from Airasia(comparing it to Firefly and MAS), trying to get the specific date 25 August - 5th September cause other than that it will clash with my husband's classes and finally having everything perfect Airasia's system crashes for a couple of hours. It keeps on giving me error messages after error messages and I can't even fill in the form.

By the time it was 7pm and hubby's still not home. My son needs to be fed, bathed and bedtime is at 700pm daily. So, that's it I told myself. I surrender. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Maybe I do need to go to Penang this year to celebrate Eid'ul Fitri. InsyaAllah, I will try and visit my parents, family and friends end of this year.

Put it Back

2011-07-14T08:38:00.000+08:00

I really can relate this to my cat. You know some people keep those cat fur after they brush it off from their cat. I saw a video of some artwork that has been done. Fantastic and at the same time gross really.

By the way, the caption is epic!!!

Latest Picture

2011-07-10T10:28:00.000+08:00

Look at him. He has grown hasn't he? I haven't taken his picture in a loooong time. Today when he was watching tv he didn't move an inch. Didn't even blink! Then I decided to take the camera and started taking his picture. Oh mommy, I don't want you to take my picture. I'm watching Dora! he told me.

But mommy took it anyways, just one picture please I told him. :)

Ash Covered Land

2011-07-07T02:01:00.002+08:00

A cat walks along a road covered by volcanic ash from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano in Puyehue, Chile, Tuesday June 21, 2011. The Chilean government says the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano in southern Chile that began erupting about two weeks ago is becoming less active.

A diver of the Prefectura Naval Argentina inspects the Rio Limay covered with ash from Chile's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain at the mountain resort of San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina's Patagonia June 16, 2011. Some towns in Argentina's Patagonia remain blanketed in volcanic ash. Airline activity is getting back to normal after days of chaos caused by a towering ash cloud, but Andean towns are covered in a thick, ash blanket that is disrupting water and power supplies and raising fears over the key winter ski season that starts next month.

Puyehue volcano erupted for the first time in half a century on June 4 prompting evacuations for 3,500 people as it sent a cloud of ash that reached Argentina. The National Service of Geology and Mining said the explosion that sparked the eruption also produced a column of gas 10 kilometers (six miles) high, hours after warning of strong seismic activity in the area.

Lightning strikes over the Puyehue volcano, over 500 miles south of Santiago, Chile, Monday June 6. Authorities have evacuated about 3,500 people in the nearby area. The volcano was calm on Monday, two days after raining down ash and forcing thousands to flee, although the cloud of soot it had belched out still darkened skies as far away as Argentina.

The Thing

2011-06-22T00:57:00.000+08:00

A bit of a creepy story I'd like to share with you tonight.

Last night, as my son was coughing in his sleep, I went down a couple of steps down and peered through the master bedroom window. Just as I tried looking through the glass pane, I saw a tiny shadow just as the size of my son walking by.

So I thought... oh... he must've got out of the bed through the other side and wants to pee as he usually does in the middle of the night. So then I opened the door but it was quite odd that the toilet door was open. At that moment I was really confused. In my head I was like... where's my son? Didn't he just got up and walked quickly towards the toilet?

I was looking towards the toilet and the empty space near the window and back again. Then I turned on the lights. I was in so much in SHOCK to find that he was still sleeping peacefully. I was so confused for a couple of seconds there that it didn't occur to me he wasn't in the toilet because he was asleep.

Then another couple of seconds sank in... wholly crap!!! What the EFF was that thing I saw just now? I left the lights on, went outside and told hubby. I just really hate it when strange things happen like that here.

Then to add the creepiness, my son woke up after an hour saying that he heard music on top of his head and said he was scared. He rarely gets scared but he does have weird dreams from time to time. In the end, I left the lights turned on until Subuh prayers. Alhamdulillah I was so tired to be frightened last night.

But I do know whatever that likes to roam around that area is small, scrawny and sometimes black... it's black probably the place is usually dark.

Friends and Love

2011-06-06T01:28:00.001+08:00

Each time hubby's best friend lands in Malaysia, they both become like little girls chatting away until morning comes. The record so far, going home at 7am. For me, I seriously can't lepak with them because their conversation is awfully bohoooring.

Usually if I offer myself to follow him to meet with his 'boyfriend', 10 minutes after I finish my food I'll be like begging him for mercy to send me home. I probably can sleep while my eyes are wide open or how suddenly people on the other table are talking more clearer than the two dudes in front of me lol! Guilty pleasure. How we are attracted to each other and get married... God only knows. Even he complains sometimes my friends are too bitchy. Meh, I have my friends and you have yours. I told him. Quit complaining and deal with it.

Thankfully when we are together, just the two of us, we always agree on the same things, love the same shows and all that. Two opposite people, totally different backgrounds, family and friends... can find peace with each other.

Silurians

2011-06-02T00:42:00.000+08:00

These are Silurians. They claim to be the oldest creatures of the earth. They lived on planet Earth as long as anyone can remember. One day they decided to come out to play... create war and chaos to the Homo Sapiens world and claim it to be them once and for all.

The earthlings are lucky that the once again an awesome and fast human look-a-like creature whom we all know by the name of The Doctor can save the entire earth from the Siluriains evil plan to conquer and kill all the vermins as they claim us humans to be.

Don't you think the lizard mask this woman wearing is really awesome? I love it. You can see the old version on the right. Now on a newer version of the Silurians, they made those old fashion alien masks as the Silurians official mask.

Do you watch Doctor Who? Who are your favourite bad guys/aliens? Here are several Monsters / Characters that you can read about regarding Doctor Who's nemesis.

Trial Class at Da Vinci

2011-05-30T10:18:00.000+08:00

Here's my son's drawing that he worked on yesterday during his trial class at Da Vinci. If you have a Popular Book Card, you can get a trial class for free. If you don't you have to pay RM40 for 1 and a half hour trial class.

I can't believe I finally got to bring him yesterday. I planned it a while back like a month ago. Can't trust hubby to bring on Saturdays cause he'll forget or too busy or just plain lazy. The plan was to bring him for a craft class every weekend. Since he wasn't able to hold scissors properly yet it wasn't advisable. Awwww.... the poor mommy was a bit sad but hey, at least he can learn how drawing techniques.

I wouldn't be sending him to an art class if he didn't asked me again and again. Ever since he learned how to hold a pencil which was last year when he started Taska Ummi, he couldn't stop drawing. He loved it so much. Evidence is below. Yes people, those are all his artwork. Can you imagine earlier last year he refused to hold a pencil, color and everything? But of course he was only 2... give him a break.

When he started Taska Ummi, he was critisized for not being able to draw properly, color like most kids and even hold a pencil. They reminded me that almost every two weeks. Both son and mommy was feeling stressful but nevermind lah, mommy tried as hard as she could. Still, my son wasn't keen enough with the whole coloring within the lines! Haih, pressure betul. He's four then and still but had to be the best even if he can't do it.

After starting Teacher Clair's school, he was really happy. Even when it was a Sunday and I wanted to buy Nasi Lemak from Uncle Nawi's warung he wanted to bring his school bag along. He would want to go to school but I told him school's closed during the weekends. There was no stress, Teacher Clair believed if you can do it, you can... if you can't try again next time, no pressure. I don't know how she did it, but he started to use the color pencils! He started coloring within the lines and color oh so patiently. Even the teacher at Da Vinci said usually kids around his age wouldn't be so patient coloring like the first photo above.

It goes to show that it's more easier for kids to develop in an environment where they are less stressed and pressured. Even if you have the most greatest teachers and the most ultimate guide book to success if how they teach you by pressuring is nooooo goooooood.

Who's This?

2011-05-15T11:01:00.000+08:00

It was a hot day(old photo by the way), and I decided to tie his hair high up like a Samurai. Then I took the camera and said smile but he said Nooo Mommy. I don't waaant.

He kept the Samurai hair until he complained it hurts. It's too tight Mommy! he said.

Too Much Info. Don't Say I Didn't Warn You!!!

2011-05-12T23:42:00.000+08:00

I guess all of the pregnancies going around hubby's family made him a bit jealous. He doesn't mengaku that he's jealous though when I asked why he wants to try for another baby Now instead of the planned year. (I suggested him when Idraki masuk Tahun 1). My mom is retired that year so I was planning to bring her and take care of me. I seriously can't do it alone for the second baby. It made me horribly stressed and unhappy!

Well, things have changed now. Probably I'll just hire a midwife to take care of me. I don't care lah. As long as someone is here until saya habis pantang. We are trying sparingly... once a month. Macam kelakar kan this tactic! Next year will be more serious, insyaAllah... full blast. Too much info huh?! Saja mau kasitau. Saya kan blogger yang suka blog apa saja walaupun tidak patut di blog. Lol.

Now work miracle sperms, transform into a baby girl!

Mother's Day Lunch

2011-05-08T18:38:00.000+08:00

Today we had a lovely Mother's Day lunch at Le Meridien, KL. Cayalah Belle Mere got us a private room. Total privacy and it's really good cause the little kiddes play around within the area, great place for breastfeeding mother's as well.

Happy Mother's Day to every mother's out there. Everyday is Mother's Day because you are all so special, you are remembered everyday.

I was the reflection in the mirror.

I love this salad. It's prawn! My favourite food. Oh and salmon sashimi.

Penalty! Didn't try out new food.

Sa'eed's ice cream.

Idraki's ice cream

Salmon and more salmon!

Salmon sashimi.............. makan paling banyak Salmon sashimi!

Prawn teppanyaki. I say it needs more butter but still delish.

Chocolate fondu. Grapes, cake and marshmallow dipped in chocolate.

Two Weeks Pun Mau Complain Ka?

2011-05-05T23:39:00.001+08:00

Before this my boss did everything all by himself with the help of his wife. Now that I'm taking over his responsibilities, I feel like a huge dump truck just unloaded itself right into my face. It has just been two weeks... I'm still trying to get used to it.

Salute lah he did all this all by himself. Mana mau atur kelas, urus other things. When the new centre in Seremban will open I'll be operating the centre all by myself. Crazy pressure. Thank goodness there's a teacher that knows IT and programming. She's very valuable. I don't know what part of not working for 5 years he doesn't get. He just trusts me completely and throws in more responsibilities to me saying that I know how to handle them all. Sometimes I feel like I'll get a panic attack each time I attend to new prospects. Someone pass me the paper bag for me to breath into! Hurry!

So everyday I tell myself, pelan2 kayuhlah. As long as I don't overstress myself it's okay. Heehee, I don't know how new workers are treated but I feel like the tutorials are too short, then kena campak to the real world. Lepas tu lambat 5 minutes pun cannot, probably I'm still on probation.

Tu lah, mau sangat kerja kan... Dugaan. Duduk di rumah pulak buring. I can't stand doing nothing anymore although I do love my 2 days off :D I'm currently missing Sabah a lot. Probably what makes me want to work is to get more money so I can MOVE back to KK but not as soon as what hubby planned lah. Not next year...... more longer than that please. At least I give my son a taste to sekolah rendah or menengah di sini :D

By the way my 14 days off if saya mau lah... kena potong gaji. Punya bida tu. First time dengar company potong gaji if mau apply cuti. Dugaan dugaan. I must be strong. :)

Lego City 7685 Bulldozer

2011-05-02T19:20:00.004+08:00

Lego's where hubby's favorite toys when he was a small boy but he lost them all when they where moving into a new house. He promised to buy 1 set of basic Lego's for Idraki since November last year and just yesterday he fulfilled his promise!

The lucky Lego's set was from the Lego City collection which is the Lego City 7685 Bulldozer(ages 5 -12 years old). Hubby guided him for full 2 hours and 13 minutes with the help of the Lego's manual, which can be understood by a 4 year old kid easily.

When it was almost 2 hours, Drakey was already distracted but insisted to finish it and not wait until another time! He was really persistant. Although at times he couldn't click the lego's into place cause his thumb and fingers where a bit sore from all that building.

I must say I'm so impressed that he could build his own bulldozer model. Daddy and Idraki had so much fun. Well, the daddy is super excited being able to play with his long lost favorite toy. While mommy took a nap near them.

I'm going to call him Uncle Driver

The wheels... my favorite part! It's a fully functional and rotates

Oh look, it's Uncle Driver as my son calls him. Come out and say hello!

Hello there everyone!

My Own Personal Mind Music

2011-04-29T00:06:00.000+08:00

I liked playing the piano since I was small because I can hear music in my mind. Sometimes I dream about great melodies and I try and compose them just for fun. Always I forget the melody as soon as I wake up. It's like some people have photographic memory but instead of photographic, it's audio. If you need a private ear for idenifying someone's voice, I can help you! lol

Sometimes hubby asks me how I could have perfect pitch when I sing, it's because I always hear the melody so clearly in my mind. I can't help it! I wonder if singers hear melodies in their mind too. That's why if I forget a certain song, all I have to do is just remember it. There's like a digital radio in my head to rewind and play again. Some other times, I can guess how a song goes. It always always freaks hubby out!! Lol. He always says to me, damn woman, how did you figure that out? I told him, I don't know... the music just seemed right and in place. A feeling that I can't describe.

That's why sometimes when I hear someone recite a du'a a couple of times, I can repeat what they say although I didn't hafal the ayat. I remembered one day during high school, ustazah asked me to read a random famous surah but I didn't hafal so I kept remembering and remembering the surah that I've heard somewhere before. I did remembered it but it was like a replayable recorder in my mind with sounds and everything, with the cara baca sekali ikut. I got it right but man, I felt like cheating because I didn't hafal that surah hohoho.

So yes, I have a replayable audio recorder in my mind. How about you? Are you weird too?

P/S: I would love to pursue my piano to a higher level, reapply within another university but I have doubts whether what I'm doing is haram or not. So when the thinking of haram is already there... it's better to find other stuffs that treats my mind well and not feel guilty of doing it. It just doesn't feel right anymore. Don't know why ;\

Juju, Ball and Me

2011-04-25T14:10:00.000+08:00

We decided to play ball one day in the room. While Idraki was resting, he decided to sit near Juju who's sleeping or probably pretended to be sleeping while we where playing. Juju decided to wake up, look at Idraki for quite a while.

After he got over the starring part, he sloowwwly sniffed the ball for a second and was pretty much confused whether to go out of the room or not, ears already ke belakang. Suddenly the silent spell was over when Idraki shouted... "Jujuuuuuuuuuuu!" Juju ran out of the room and singgah sekejap makan before continuing his nap behind the curtains.

Another New Job

2011-04-22T00:58:00.005+08:00

The research assistant job I had for two months(well actually it was supposed to be 3) was over two weeks ago. The triathlon office moved to Phileo Damansara. What was left of it is still their office, well not technically his but his wife's office. I've decided not to continue working with them for another six months because I was searching for a permenant job. Plus, I didn't want to pay for toll, parking rent for a month, gas and lunch money. Gaji new entry level sikit jak okay!

Alhamdulillah, I told myself that I MUST get a job before the month is over. It's a miracle and I am so lucky to be able to find another job with another foreign company(this time Irish baws). I admit during the interview I couldn't really answer what my responsibilities as an assistant teacher was. My mind was blank, there was silence. I cursed myself in my heart for being such a nucklehead.

Until somehow I was asked what hobby's are(I didn't know you'd get questions like that during an interview???)... until I said travel and hit the jackpot. The director has lived in Malaysia for 7 years and still hasn't gone to Sabah. Terus dalam hati cakap... ini tidak boleh jadi ni. Promote Sabah terus. I was done talking 40 minutes later. I think the interview was only 10 minutes.

A day later, my former boss emailed me saying that he got a call from my soon to be boss asking about me as his former employer. Soooo nice lah my former boss, he put in such good words... even though I worked for him for 2 months only. I thought referral numbers are just for show :P

So today I got a call from the baws. He said, I got two questions for you.
1st: Have you ever had health problems before? I said no.
2nd: Have you ever had any SERIOUS health problems before?(Lawaks!!!) Of course I said no.

Hati gumbira dapat permenant job. I now can continue eating my lunch at my fav Kopitiam :D

Alhamdulillah... I am truly blessed.

Hand Puppet

Everybody meet Mr. Snake. He was inspired to do this and I did the smiley mouth for him. Thank you to Penelope K, By the Way for this inspiration.

Here's Penelope K and her sock puppet, Squirm.

Googly Eyes

2011-04-16T18:38:00.000+08:00

Idraki likes Mr. Maker on CBeebies. He does like art very much. Last weekend he made these circles with googly eyes saying they're bad guys but finished it with cute smileys!

First Time Readers Books

2011-04-16T00:18:00.006+08:00

The early years Idraki watches these videos, Your Baby Can Read. The first signs of him knowing the words where picking up the correct words as I said it. He still couldn't say it out loud at that moment. I love the flashcards they provided. Sliding flashcards with pictures. Unfortunately, the DVDs aren't working anymore. I just tried it today. All the DVDs plus flashcards are around RM300++. Ordered online via MPH although they told me they don't sell this product but they where able to buy it for me without extra cost. All I had to do was pick it up at One Utama. It's really sad that it has problems now. Well, I did bought it in 2007 and with the weather condition of where we live, I wouldn't be surprised.

Now after episodes of teaching him how to read-stop-then read again-stop, I've moved along to real books. Yes, dulu flash cards from paper saja. No books. Bedtime stories are a different story all together. He listens to me read and we sometimes forgot to finish a whole book because Idraki starts making up stories and telling me excitedly. :)

The books that I've chosen for him are Ladybird books (new and old), Usbourne books, and a Franklin Watts book.

Below are the Ladybird books I bought. They costs around RM9.90 per book. 1a and 1b are easy repitition of words. My son loves it. He likes Jane the most.

Here is a sample of what book 1a looks like. The words are big and kids would definitely have fun reading big words. The difference between 1a and 1b is that 1b is a bit thicker with more stories inside.

Below is the slightly newer version of Keywords book from Ladybird. They introduce Tom and Kate and Sam the dog. Words are much smaller though.

This is what the inside of Book 1 looks like. The price of these books are RM9.90 too. I got these at Borders The Curve. They have a LOT of Ladybird books. Same as the older version "Peter and Jane". Nevertheless, they are quite interesting with new style of drawing. Book 2 has slightly more stories inside.

Usbourne book 1 and 2 can be found at MPH bookstore. They costs RM11.90 each. Book 1 is much more simpler than Ladybird books.

Here's a sample page of book 1 Pirate Pat(apparently Pat is a man, I thought it was a lady pirate). The small words on the left page are for parents to read. The bigger ones at the right are for your kids to read. I did thought it was less challenging than Ladybird books but it was more fun because Idraki likes to take turns to read. :)

This last book is from the Franklin Watts book series. I bought it in Borders. There where only a couple left. I guess it's a sellout. The price of this book is RM30.90 Quite pricey for a start up book yeah? I bought it anyways because I want to experiment what book my son likes the most. Why is it that expensive? Ada magic ka buku ni? LOL

Below is a sample of a page from the book. It's about Tom the cat who wants to take a nap but getting comfy in the wrong places.

There you go folks, I've shared what books to me are good for 1st time readers. I spent 3 hours searching for them on a weekday. I went to three different bookstores to find what I wanted from my internet search the night before. I have yet done a search on how Franklin Watts can help kids read. Idraki and mommy are going to have fun together learning to read.

Also, if you are interested in pre-school Kumon workbooks, they are sold at Borders The Curve(other Borders tidak tau because I didn't check there). Priced at RM25++ per book. They are really good. Very colorful! Fun and different from other workbooks. You just have to check them out.

Happy reading everyone. Have a pleasent weekend ahead.

P/S: I'm sure there are other great books out there for early readers. If you have any suggestions, please do drop a comment or two. Thanks a lot :)

Look at his hair. I loved his haircut before we decided to cut it short. Really bob short. It looked wonderful and very stylish(long hair) but the truth was it made him very uncomfortable. I promised hubby the next time we cut his hair, it would be buzzed.

The Bicycle Balloon

2011-04-12T10:00:00.001+08:00

If you'd like to buy a balloon for your kid with various shapes from animals like ladybugs to flowers and even a bicycle shaped like the one above, head to Ikano Power Center. In front of Starbucks there's an Arab man selling balloons with all shapes and sizes.

It's a bit pricy though. One balloon like in that picture costs around RM 8. My son loved it sooo sooo sooo much within the first 10 minutes. After that, the mommy was carrying it around until we went home. This is pretty big which creates attention and of course a dude amongst other people was so surprised he could not have said it better like, "Wholly crap, that's a bicycle balloon!" I kept on walking and looked back he was still looking at the balloon. Say whaaaaaat. :D

The Whistle on the Train

2011-04-11T12:00:00.010+08:00

Idraki just adores this book. I think they're selling it for half price as all the books in the store is cheap as well. Which book store? It's at Atria Shopping Centre 1st Floor. There are many Dean Koonz books for RM15, Terry Pratchett book hard cover for RM29 only! The complete Sherlock Holmes book hardcover for also RM29 as well.

What is the book above about? It's a simple rhyming book like "The Wheels on the Bus" but instead it's about trains and how theyy go. It's a part of Disney book collection. Honestly I just bought it cause it's a beautiful book. Didn't care much about the simplicity of the content. The mommy can use her imagination to create stories day after day. It costs about RM49.90. I've also started Idraki on Peter and Jane books. He reads some sentences but why do I feel he's just guessing? But then again I gave him another Peter and Jane book he could read them too but not 100% lah. 80%-90% like that boleh lah. So far BIG BIG words are good for him cause he wants to read them cause it's interesting.

When he sees small words, he asks me to read them. Give up terus. Just like in school when he doesn't know how to write, he'll give up and cry. Thank goodness his teacher knows how to handle it. :)

Sparkly Blue Shoes

2011-04-09T09:49:00.000+08:00

Got this recently from Brands Outlet. All I need now is an Electric Blue blouse which I've been trying to find a suitable fashion to my taste but still couldn't because most of Electric Blue blouse has weird weird designs. Almaklumlah... ngam untuk orang2 kurus jak, orang plus size mcm saya ni tiada!

Don't play2, tudung pun ada sudah Electric Blue okay. Just the blouse left.

The Hungry Hippo

2011-04-06T01:06:00.001+08:00

Last month when we were in Paya Indah Wetlands, we where in luck to see hippo's being fed. That 1 whole tandan of banana's to the hippo are just like 1 skittles candy to us. Amazing how they can eat that much. We were told not to get too close to them as they can kill!

Even some reports that when they are really starved, they can eat meat. Be careful when you see a hippo running towards you, it might be too hungry and you might just be their meal.

The Pumpkin and I

2011-04-02T00:45:00.002+08:00

My dad reconnected with his uni friend and just tagged me in Facebook. For old times sake, I'd like to upload this photo of me missing a tooth or 2.

In that picture we where on a pumpkin patch with the professor's son who's now married with a son who's living in Selangor... quite near. It's kind of odd don't you think that once upon a time you're so close to some family and when you're back home, you went seperate ways... life brings you to where you are now and that the connection with that person although no matter how close you where once upon a time isn't as much as now.

Now, you're like a perfect stranger to the long lost friend and his family. Sadly enough I have not reconnected with them all. I've been so busy with what's been going on with my life to take much interest on what's going on with their life. Probably I should, soon? I am happy that since my dad has retired, he has more time now to join Facebook and find his old uni mates from SIUC.

Guilty as charged! I loved The Get Along Gang at that time :)

Durian Season and the Monkey!

2011-04-02T00:19:00.000+08:00

Believe it or not, I took this picture behind our house... in front of the kitchen window. A durian just fell high up from the tree and the monkey swooped down and opened it with its bare hands. He came within seconds the durian fell down. Tiny little thing, the monkey... but it has great super human powers.

The other day I saw another monkey jumped right from the tree onto the ground, caught a durian, hugged it tightly and swooped back up the tree. Don't they get their body and hands pricked? >.<

If you are in for a cheap durian, Rasta's selling it RM6 per containter. It's near the cashier's counter. Better get them fast before it's too late. How's your durian week treating you?

Tony Roma Delight

2011-03-28T00:55:00.000+08:00

I haven't taken food photos in such a long long time! These are taken during my birhtday lunch at Tony Roma's. The shrimp was so fresh. The salmon was superb! Lovely lovely lunch we had. Hubby also made the waiters sing a birthday song for me and they brought out a small chocolate cake. I hope I'll have more time to upload a couple of pictures in a couple of days perhaps.

New Job, New Kindy

2011-02-27T22:50:00.000+08:00

I am currently enjoying my days at work. Been working for 2 and a half weeks. Been off work since middle of 2006. I thought I would hate working but hubby was right, he has a hunch if I was working, it would make me a lot more happier. :D

I'm working near home which is only 10 minutes from my house. Currently hubby sends me to work since he's working at home anyways... so why not. He's so kind!

There where so many things that I had to filter to find a job. It took me 2 months. Hubby told me if I where to work it has to be 9am-6pm. Weekdays, near home and no over time. By Febuary I almost forgot that I was searching for a job on a daily basis cause I was so tired checking my emails daily for updates on job vacancy... I got slightly distracted to do other stuff then, one day... Pooof out of no where I got a job. Well, 2 jobs within 1 week but the first one had a shift until 9pm so I had to drop it although it was a good one. Not that I'm saying this current one isn't good :P

There one thing that I have to struggle and get used to though. I have weight training on Monday and Wednesday(Saturday too but that doesn't count). It's a must for me so I have to get my son to bed before I carry those barbells. Thankfully hubby assists me on carrying those heavy weights. On alternate days I do cardio which is quite easy but working from morning till evening and exercising after that makes me REALLY REALLY tired. That's why I usually sleep around 11pm these days. Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow my son will be entering a new kindy. I hope he will like it. But from his plead to want to go to Mrs. C's school almost every day I think he really likes it there. He already has a friend there since his visits to see the headmistress a couple of time.

I hope to get a new laptop soon or get the old one fixed. But I do hope I can get a new one. I so long to upload and edit pictures and share it with all of you! Two years ago I would definitely say no to a laptop because I know a pc would be more powerful and better to play games with. But, come on... who am I kidding? I have a kid. I can't play those hardcore RPG or Adventure games anymore. He needs more more than I need to play games. Bigfish games will do for now! I also have a game site that I haven't updated in ages! Hubby's gonna kill me if he knows I haven't been updating since Christmas(I got to caught up searching for a job).

Alrighty. I'm no good at parting words at all! So see you whenever. Over and out.

Ikea Trofast

What caught my attention yesterday while we where in Ikea is this storage furniture called Trofast. Drakey's toys are all over the place. He so many trains and cars, his activity books and railway tracks... it only gets cleared up once a week when the cleaner is here. Hoping Trofast will solve the messy problem once and for all!

Work and GPS

2011-02-02T16:26:00.001+08:00

I usually can live with a mobile phone as cheap as RM80. I just need it for texting and people calling me or I'd call people out. But......... hubby has this problem. Each time we go out of TTDI, he gets lost. Even the other day when we went to Solaris Dutamas, we ended up arriving around 4pm. We went out at 230pm.

He got frustrated, we ended up paying for toll fees a couple of times, going in circles. So I made a decision that I can't use a simple phone anymore. That Saturday night I felt so desperately in need of a phone with a GPS system. Cannot take it when hubby get all moody when all I wanna do is go out and have fun. Party pooper.

I told him he sucked at finding places and you seriously need a GPS. See how pissed I was that day? Surprisingly, he nodded and said I'm right. I better get a phone with GPS. So I said, ui... belanja lah... But he said I know you want an iPhone. I know you'll get it when you find work, soon. Okaylah kautim, at least he gets to pay my son's school fees *cough* *cough*

About work, I did get it yesterday at an interior design company. Siap the boss will teach me some Quantity Survey stuff since all I know is music and a bit of programming, she desperately needs someone who is willing to learn. She has 4 other branches to take care of and she's understaff(although she has almost 200 staffs). I spent two hours talking to her. Until.......... she told me that they have two shifts. 1st shift is 9am-6pm. 2nd shift is 12pm-9pm. Oh tidaaaaaaaak!!! Then I told her that I'm so sorry I couldn't work with her because of the shift due to my agreement with my husband. Yalah, I have a responsibility as a wife and mom. Needy husband, needy kid. Hohohoho. So, here I am searching for a new job... I just pray that I'll get it within 1 months time.

Cute Blue Kitties

2011-02-02T08:57:00.000+08:00

Picture by enpaulet

In official cat term they are called blue cats, but actually they are just Grey colored cats. These are none other than the British Short Hair. One of my favorite cat breed that I dream to own one fine day.

picture by bogloo

When they grow up, they look like this. Really round and fluffy! They have eyes like owls.

picture by spoonfork

They are one of a kind that laze around all day. They don't need much attention and don't mind at all if they are in the house all the time. It's a good choice for busy people. The Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland was based on this cat breed, one of the most intelligent cats amongst others.

Beaches, Apocolypes, Zombies

2011-01-31T00:10:00.000+08:00

It's just a whole coincidence that we will be visiting places that has beaches(hey, no dirty thought in mind okay!). Last week we where in Kuantan, at the beach side hotel. Next week, we'll be at a family wedding(hubby's 1st cousin) at Penang and if the whether is on our side, we decide to go to Ferringhi Beach on Penang island. The week after next if I don't get a job still, I'll be joining in the bride's family to Kelantan and it would be marvelous to visit the beach there if possible insyaAllah.

The whether lately is quite puzzling isn't it? The monsoon season's supposed to be over but the rain is still pouring. Our world is such in a mess. Hubby told me, next year is 2012 and if something really bad happens it would make the whole world in balance once more. I was like.. whaaat? I wouldn't want to live in a post apocalypse world. Have you ever seen how people behave in those times? Everythig will be in chaos, scarce in food, water and every necessity possible. A complete disaster. Last thing you know, zombies will attack you from nowhere and you can't even find a horse to run away from them. Aaaack!

So okay, this entry is about beaches! Not the end of the world. In due time, I'll share my best or not so best pictures soon. Have a great Chinese New Years everyone!

The Biawak and the Fish

2011-01-16T00:53:00.001+08:00

Earlier this month, I heard a noisy crackling sound like someone walking on a zink roof. I went to the back of the house and looked at the fish pool and to my surprise a lizard, Mr. Biawak was pulling a catfish with all his might because the fish was caught up in the net.

I opened the window, snapped a couple of fish but didn't get a clear snap when he was pulling the fish so eagerly. I distracted him with my flash and he went away. Dear oh me, so inconsiderate! Fifteen minutes later I came to check on the fish, it was all gone. Boy did he made a great job on getting the fish. Never under estimate the power of a small lizard, it's really strong!

Thank goodness we don't have any Komodo Dragon's in our backyard!

Beach Cleaners

2011-01-13T00:11:00.000+08:00

One Sunday morning, the day that we had our flight back to KL, we decided to go to the beach one last time. It was very early in the morning. Just around 8am. When we reached there, the beach cleaners where busy raking the leaves, moving dead branches and putting all the big garbage bag into the dumpster.

While taking 1 picture of them having trouble carrying a part of a tree that collapsed on the beach, one of them told to his friend, "Uih kamurang tinguk, gambar kita kana ambil. Ko tinguk ah, masuk di fisbuk ni muka kita." Laughing along with them, I still took their picture.

All this while I thought the cleanliness of Tanjung Aru Beach was because people where good Samaritans. Keeping the beach clean and all. But when I saw what they scraped and raked from the sand, I now know that these are the real heroes of making Tanjung Aru Beach clean and beautiful. They wake up really early in the morning before people would even come to the beach and would clean them together.

I can't help but wonder whether the government or some privatized company spends all the money to keep the beach clean? But still, it's sad to see people throw rubbish like peanut shells, glass bottles and plastic on the beach. Why can't people clean up after they eat and have fun in the sun with family and friends? It is our responsibility to be clean and look after the beach ourselves. Don't litter, it's just that simple.

The Curtains and Me

2011-01-03T15:35:00.000+08:00

It's okay guys, I can't see you so I can stay here all day long. The little human can be as loud as he can and I'm not afraid because he can't see my face! It's a really great hiding place. Get your own place though cause all of the window spots in this house are mine.

The curtains divide Juju and the outside world. If there weren't any curtains he wouldn't lie there for even a minute. He'll get really scared even when he hears Idraki laughs or if he's having a normal conversation with me. He'll be there sleeping for 6 hours. He's happy and content.

Hoffenberg Non Alcoholic Beer

I found this non alcoholic beer at Ikano. I do not particularly like this taste but hubby seems to like it. Comparing other non alcoholic beers such as Delster and Barbican, my choice would be Barbican for sure. Peach flavor!

You can have a look at Hoffenberg in Malaysia via Facebook here.

This was feeding time. Drakey wanted to feed the tiger's badly. He even asked the worker if he could throw the meat towards the tiger but of course the response was oh cannot, nanti kotor kau punya tangan itu.(your hands will get dirty)

Lok Kawi Wildlife Park

Is it just me or does this map looks like a Sabah & Sarawak map?

credits

This weekend before heading back to KL, we're attempting to go to Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. It's quite big, about 280 acres of land. If we're on time, there's a cute little train that we can ride on, if not... it's going to be a long loooong walk. My mom went there a couple of years ago(it opened on 2007) and she told me that because it's really spacious, sometimes there aren't any animals to see at all.

I'm happy to hear that these animals have a huge place to live in. So it won't be a heartache to see animals in small cages. Jadi, we'll target to watch the animal shows and riding the elephant. I'll try not to wear high heels. Pengsan nanti. Oh an umbrella might come in handy too. It would be like a mini jungle trekking with wild animals. Stay tuned for pictures!

When Pirates Combine

2010-12-08T10:11:00.002+08:00

credits

So there was this agent telling "Oh there's this really cheap ship at this particular coordinate" a couple of days ago on Eve Online, believing it hubby set his coordinates there. Lo and behold as soon as he arrived, there where many... many pirate ships waiting to blast people's ship off.

When you zoom out, the debris of other players ships where massive. I told hubby,"They're gonna exchange ships." Cause he told me he would just wait it out but after a couple of days, but they don't seem budge! That ship is about 50 million ISK. Not as many as that 200 million ISK that blasted but still is quite an expensive ship.

Today he got a bit lucky. The pirates where lesser and he escaped using a cloaking device. Phew!! These are one of the "normal" activities what pirates can do on Eve Online.

This reminded me of one scene from the film Serenity where the ship had to go to a particular coordinate and before they can reach that place, they had to pass a colony of flesh eating Reavers. The only way they can do it without being eaten is to pretend to be like a Reavers ship that's by hanging dead people's bodies on their outer ship. They stayed really quiet, the ship moved along other Reavers ship... the suspense was killing!

Have you had your dosage of Nathan Fillion today?

Update: Hubby said he succeeded buying the ship! It was just a coincidence that the pirates decided to camp at that particular coordinate. The merchant managed to get out of there before the pirates arrived.

Cat Playing Patty Cakes

2010-12-07T01:02:00.003+08:00

You guys just have to watch this video. I literally cried laughing while watching it. Extremely cute and funny. What makes this video truly funny is the narration. I have yet seen both of my cats act like this. They just like to lick each others neck everyday.

On another note that does not concern cats, I have succeeded driving a Harrier. Emergency driving today lol! I have never drove a BIG 4WD before(I am so the penakut!!!!!), the car was in the middle of the road(traffic jam), I didn't know the hand breaks where on the left side of my legs so I was panicking. The horns were honking and seriously I didn't heard it until my friend told me later. So I made a conclusion just to put it from P to D and the car moved. THANK GOD! Syukur betul aku rasa. I felt so awesome for not knocking nearby cars. Next, buying myself my own 4WD. Kerja dulu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
