Is Eating Out Alone an Embarassment?

Salam...

I took the opportunity during today's lunchtime to have my own 'me- time'... guess any one of you who never had this break from the dysfunctional and total hypocrite world, should just try it! Coz it's all worth it... and for me, that 2.5 hours walking around S*go in the middle of Friday afternoon, with lots of people scurrying around that S*go Sale (read: bila masa S*go tak pernah sale?) it was time well spent... I didn't bother to have a peek at what people get on hold of, I just wanna walk, walk and walk (and bought brand new toys for AZA)... until my tummy was crying for help, and my legs were not able to bring my body forward...

... then I decided to have chicken rice... long queue, but whatever, coz my eyes and brain has fixated on that kedai... "I want that nasik ayam with drumstick, only RM5.00... ok laa, boleh!"
But that makcik said no more drumstick , and pointed to that half-chopped chicken with no drumstick, taken by the girl before me... and right in front of my eyes, there were like 6-7 chickens hanged by the glass... and you said "no more?" "Oh come on! you can do better than that!" But, I still took it, coz famished was my middle name that time, paid and found a place with 4 chairs available...

While seating, people were moving back and forth around me, apparently that place was packed and you could hardly find a seat at that moment... and of course, being alone, I was victimized... dang! go find other place, I pay tax, too! and I just to want have my moment here... but of course, how can I say that aloud... they have this look on their face, stated "you are alone, hurry up... we are in group, need place to sit... where are your friends?" It made me wonder, was I ever feel embarassed eating out alone (I did this zillion times, FYI)... and guess what? NEVER! In fact, sometimes I just need to savour that moment... not that I dislike having people with me (I love hang-outs with people), but sometimes you just need to be drowned in your own thoughts, do monologue etc...

So at the end of the story, I still maintained my elegance (by eating slowly, as if I was doing 'fine dining' LOL)... and they left with total frustration showed on their faces... akakakakkaka...

BFF Gathering on CNY

Salam...

We had this tea- time session yesterday, and it was an impromptu one! Yes, trust me my beloved friends, the success rate of planning something in advance is almost close to zero, but if it's done on impluse, Insya Allah, done! We have to work on that, please... too many plans got canceled... commitment, commitment...

nevertheless, yesterday's one was fun... altho it was suppose to be a teatime session, we got ourselves slurping up glasses of juices, and topping up calories... cheese here and there... :) and to add the fun, we celebrated our lil' next top model's birthday, Izznur... how we could see her face glows when the waiters and waitresses brought out the Molten Cake with candle and sang the official song loudly... Happy birthday, kakak!

so pretty ladies, lets make this again some other time, Insya Allah... and if it's going to be a prompt one, so let it be...

p/s: can't wait for our coming vacation... and Najwa, seriously... we missed you in the crowd! oh yeah, on other note, my hubby was spending his day at the office (too many things to be done)... and he spent the nite there... huhuhuhuh, I miss you, too...

p/s 2: Id like to take this oppotunity to congratulate my cousin who just got married last week... Selamat pengantin baru, Min (and the bride)... semoga kekal ke akhir hayat, dan selamat meramaikan umat Muhammad... amin...

Acupuncture

Salam...

Ye, aku dah try... and surprisingly tak sakit! hahaha, sapa2 yg kenal aku, mmg korang tau aku ni suka menerai (almost!) all of these 'kaedah perubatan alternatif (pls aaa, bomoh2 gua tak main!)... aku dah try bekam (yang lintah punya pon aku dah buat)... klik sini...

so haritu aku pegi homeopathy clinic @ kg. baru... nak kata sakit, tak gak... tp tu laa, kata nak try pregnant lagi kan... so I opt for homeopathy laa pulak, sbb aku ada pegi hospital biasa, jumpa O&G, the doctor precribed aku Clomid, to rangsang my brain to ovulate (or something like that)... tp dr tu dah warned aku awal2, this hormone2 punya ubat ni akan menyebabkan badan naik!!! mmg tak tipu, sapa2 perasan aku, mmg aku tgh musim 'prime' skarang ni, TEMBUN! bencik! tapi takde apa2 gak (tak pregnant laa)...

maka aku pon mencuba laa homeopathy ni, utk this cycle... selain kena makan ubat, dr. Faridah (mak aihh, pekat gila slang Kelantan dia, sib baik suamiku berketurunan Kelantan itu ada... heheheh) suggested aku buat acupuncture... so aku pon agreed... I think there were about 12 needles kot; ada yg kat kaki, perut dan kepala... tak sakit, and aku boleh tido ngan baiknya...
dan suamiku seperti biasa, pon menumpang tido di katil sebelah... ehehhehe... (tapi dia taknak buat)... seriau katanya...

the charges were RM45, not bad laa kan... aku dah budget2 beratus2 ke... hmmm, the effect after that? ntah laaa... aku ada laa rasa lenguh2 skett kat belah kaki aku (no, aku tak rasa badan aku ringan... aku tak kalah saiko)... tapi who knows, mana tau internal organs aku dah rasa semakin ok ke... ehhehe... atau semua tgh berfungsi secara optimumnya kat dalam tu :)... Wallahhualam...

so sapa2 nak try, boleh laa cuba... kalau rasa2 nak get some info on acupuncture, get it here...
Renung- renungkan... dan selamat beramal...

Basic Cake & Cupcake Deco (Buttercream)

Salam...

Last Sunday tu aku pegi class masak- memasak, yg dianjurkan oleh Kak Min from Bakingproject.com...

Ni class kedua aku laa selepas class 'Fondant Cupcake Deco' aku tu... Thanks Kak Min, I think that was super easy (bayangkan laa kalau aku yg tangan bangku ni boleh buat, korang2 yg lagi hustler dari aku, of course kacang punya!)

There was a cake that we had to decorate... dang! tiba2 terasa cantik cake yg aku buat, yg bertatahkan 3 kuntum bunga rose ok! walaupon bunga rose tu Kak Min kata banyak sangat petals-nya, I was a bit satisfied... Kak Min, I punya bunga hidup kat tpt tinggi... tu yg banyak petals... baja pon pakai yg organic... :)

And then there were 6 other cupcakes to spoil with... we did clown, swirl, colored piping gel (aku buat peace sign, but some said cam merc punya logo), grass, and the last 2 tu buat free design... maka aku pon membuat muka perempuan comel dan corak bebas... (tgk la gambar tu)...

so what do you guys think?

p/s: sorry laa gambar blur, amik guna hp jek...

The Birth of a Princess

Salam...

Last nite, abg iparku dah selamat dapat anak, walaupon kerja meneran dijalankan oleh birasku, Ay*ng... Alhamdulillah... all went well... ntah mcm mana aku pon terexcited sekali.. maybe sbb pompuan kot.. hehehe.. aku mana ada anak sedara pompuan... well, on my side, guys really outnumbered us, the girls... sbb tu kalau tgk aku dan cousin2 perempuanku during our adolescence years, macam jantan2 skett... all were treated equally with our brothers... aku dah ada bf baru berubah... auwwww!

Ay*ng delivered a healthy baby girl at Tawakal Hosp around 8.23pm (hmmm malam gak, abis laa you, baby lahir malam, susah nak tido malam... my AZA is for instance)... hehhehe... She weighs around 3.06kg... not bad for a lil' girl... and putih, a double joy for Pok Mak's family... hehehe

nice jawline, girl!

To Abg A*il and Ay*ng, congratulations... let us know her name the soonest ;) Selamat berpantang, and hope you may get back your 'anak dara' shape back...

sleepyhead... wish I have the same pleasure at this very moment...

with her ibu...

Update: Latifah Maryam is her name... cool huh?

(on second note, a new correction on the name has been made: PEMBETULAN)

:: Last Dayku di IT & DFI Supervision ::

Salam...

Hari ni last day kat dept ni... esok to start at a new place, old building, with new + old friends...
tiba2 aku terasa sayu, cam sedih nak tinggalkan tpt ni, lagi satu the bonding...
baru laa ada rasa2 nak rapat sesama org ni, org tu... hmmm, nak buat camana... orang atas sudah suruh, mmg laa takleh lawan...

teringat masa mula2 masuk keja dulu... hari2 aku balik, hari2 aku bebel kat MAM, cakap aku nak berenti, nak keja sendiri... takmo keja ngan org... tapi ntah mcm mana, aku berjaya tahan sampai 2 thn kat sini... :)
akan berulang lagikan kejadian itu esok dan hari2 yg mendatang?
hmmm... ntah laaa... tunggu dan lihat...

akan comfortable kah tpt baruku itu nanti? seperti 'happy nest' aku kat sini?
semuanya akan terjawab mulai esok...

Free Palestine... Get Yourself Out, Assholes

Salam...

I know my title isn't the best thing to show my hatred, my loath towards those damn Israelis... but what the heck, they deserve it...

6 tahun yang sudah terjadi itu...

Salam...

'twas my 6th anniversary yesterday... tiba2 teringat jari2 tangan dan kakiku yg merah2 dulu... iskk, memang best laa time tu, tapi kalau nak buat lagi, takmo dah aku...! teringat mlm before nak nikah tu, kejung2 jek sleeping style aku.. tak caya tanya BFF aku yg tido ngan aku mlm tu, Ch*h... dia laa yg jaga inai2 aku tu, supaya tak rosak/ cacat etc... heheheh... memang keras laa kan aku mlm tu, sib baik malam esoknya tu tido ngan suami baru... ahaks...

banyak benda yg boleh dikongsi dan tidak boleh sepanjang aku dah berlaki ni... Alhamdulillah, even ada benda yg tak patut dibanggakan pon, it really make me realize something.. that nobody can beat my hubby.. he's the greatest... (ye laaa, korang puji laa laki korang sendiri.. aku tetap nak puji laki aku gak!) aku ni banyak buat perangai, biasa laaa.. pompuan pon kan, merajuk laa, angin turun naik laa... tapi he knows well on where to tackle it... so last2 aku pon jadik cam pompuan yang lembik lutut.. kalah beb! hehhehe...

to MAM, my favorite B... tima kasih for everything... saya sayang awak... sangat2... terima kasih atas prezen itu... saya suka! and marilah kita mengembirakan tahun2 yg mendatang ini, Insya Allah...

to all... salam maal hijrah... semoga 1430 dan 2009 ini mendatangkan rahmat dan 'ong' yang berlipat- kali ganda... Aminnn...

so this new year, wish aku (aku tak berapa into azam... wish jek)... hhehehhe

1. nak pregnant lagi... double up the effort, Insya Allah
2. nak beli 2-3 benda.. (malu ah nak cakap)...
3. nak pi umrah...
