Benefit: Just In Case

Salam...

I'm out of compact powder... so thot of getting a new one last Tues, but I ended up buying this... (I'm a sucker for makeups that comes in pallettes, or combination of it... senang nak bawak, takde tertinggal apa2)

actual colors vary than potrayed here... pakai camera phone jek!

L-R: Benetint (bestseller) for lip & cheek, Eyecon (eye cream), California Kissin' (lip shine) & Some Kind-a Gorgeous (foundation faker)...

Overall, I'm lovin' it! although I may say it will only last less than 3 mo for frequent user. Let this be my trial period, and if there's good results (muka aku dipenuhi NUR ke) then I'll buy bigger ones.

p/s: errrkkk! what were grandma's hands doing here? MUST. MOISTURIZE. NOW.

Jom Tengok TV

Salam...

yup! saya memang over... I'll be on leave tomorrow because tonite I'll glued myself to the tv, 1 am to be exact... nak tgk MJ's funeral... sampai pkl 3 pagi...

and I'm scared I might jump outta bed tomorrow sbb terlajak, adalah lebih baik ku ambil cuti (and approved at 4pm tadi... yahoo! Thanks boss!)

Lamanya??? May 2005

Salam...

mmg lama... berjinggut org tunggu, sampai aku sendiri tunggu pon dah tumbuh akar... lagi laaa aku tak bergerak, sbb akar ni dah ikat aku...

oleh itu, sbb aku terlampau super rajin... maka aku buat edisi khas kali ni... beli kat majalah wanita pon tak jumpa, apatah lagi kalau carik version omputih... ni kolumpo jek ada, tu pon kedai che roz jek yg jual...

Berikut adalah ringkasan2 apa yg telah berlaku di dalam bulan May... (bulan June punya, tunggu lagi satu edisi khas ok? dia takleh keluar awal, sbb perangai 'super' aku tu laaa :)

Okasi Pertama: Lihat 'anak ikan' kami bermain2...

Ni anak ikan betul punya, sekali bapak-mak-sedara ikan2 semua ada... bukan 'anak ikan' yg dibela oleh datin2... aku bawak anak aku dan kawan aku sekali (aku dukung anak aku jek, kawan aku dia angkat diri dia sendiri) pegi Aquaria... menarik! Berlaku pada 24 May...

Okasi Kedua: Adik ipar aku berlaki (menikah)...

berlaku masa 30 May. Aku incas apa? hmmm, takde laa specific sangat selain hire photographer, buat bilik pengantin sikit2, beli barang2 hantaran, kemas rumah, hire mekap artist utk ahli keluarga, mandur masa reception dan yg paling penting, make sure anak aku tak meragam masa tu... Alhamdulillah! dia sangat memahami maknya... sebaliknya anak buah aku yg buat show... kesiannya ibunya itu...

Okasi Ketiga: Reception dekat De Palma Hotel

Sini takde apa2 yg boleh aku buat sangat pon... semua dah tersedia, tapi penat tetap gila laaa level dia kan? aku agak laa sbb aku pakai kasut yg boleh tahan tinggi heels dia... tu yg terpenat melampau tu! biasa pakai flat.com punya kasut jek, konon nak melawa haritu (ye laa tuan rumah laa katakan... haa hamek kau! sakit2 aku punya achilles... ekekekek)


tu jek laa kot aku rasa yg nak update... ada laa satu lagi occassion iaitu bertandang ke rumah belah pengantin lelaki tu... tapi aku tak bawak camera... sbb malas nak usung, ngan anaknya lagi, beg susu, wallet laki aku yg 'kembung' dgn resit tu... (sbb dia mmg akan tumpang handbag aku barang2 dia mcm kunci keta, wallet, hp kalau dia pakai baju melayu... sbb dia taknak nampak samping dia ternaik... sabar jek laaa)...

p/s: gambar collage adalah utk menyingkatkan masa yg diambil utk mengupload gambar menggunakan WiMax aku yg tak berapa nak MAX ni!

Kecut Perut

Salam...

OMG, they called me up yesterday... on Sunday! What kind of people goes to work on Sunday???
errrkkkk, HR people!
They told me to come for an innerview assessment... Remember my post on this? So they said I've been shortlisted for that post... yeay! (walaupon hanya shortlist sahaja)...

so I'm waiting for that moment at 11.30am... and it's only 9.50am... and my butterflies has beranak- pinak inside my tummy... crazy!

Bismillah...

p/s: kawan2ku... sorry di atas apa yg berlaku, impian kita utk berhorey2 harus ditangguhkan... maaffin aku ya!

on procrastination...

Salam...

lambat, procrastinate, slow, tembelina... I fall in this category lately on my updates to the blog... been pretty busy with everything... work, life and my SIL's wedding which was held on the 30 & 31 May...

LG Arena...

What makes me choose this new toy to replace the previous one? Coz they nicknamed this phone 'Iphone-3G-Killer' (sbb aku suka Iphone aku yg 2G tu, so kalau dah 3G pon dah ada pembunuhnya, apatah lagi version 'otai' aku tuh!)... read this to know further...

http://lgarenakm900.com/lg-arena-vs-iphone-3g/

p/s: I'm loving it... walaupon yup, it's not oooohhh, aaahhhhh like the first time you flirt with Iphone, but for me this is so perfect...

9. Saya nak anak2 yg ramai... mmg agak menakutkan dgn perbelanjaan yg semakin meningkat ini, tapi saya tetap suka rumah yg penuh... Insya Allah...

10. Perkenalan saya dan suami saya tidak akan menjadi tanpa bantuan rakan karib saya... Azm*h (sian kau... tak pasal2 kena pegi approach MAM cakap nak pinjam schook mag... ekekekek... apa punya reason laa.. tapi berjaya walaupon sungguh lame)... thanks Azm*h... LOVE YOU!

Sekian...

Ceritalah Lagi...

Salam

(tajuk entry ini mengingatkan aku pada satu buku cerita masa kecik2... sangat suka!... ada lagi ke publisher tu eh?)

Sebelum tido, aku akan cuba sedaya- upaya bacakan bedtime storybook to AZA, kalau tak sempat baca (sbb dia yg tutup lampu, he decides tau) aku akan bercerita dgn dia... selalunya aku bercerita pasal aeroplace dan popeye... tak kiralaaa popeye tu naik aeroplane nak pegi sekolah ke (kaya betul popeye skarang), popeye jual kuih keliling kampung ke... aku akan tetap bercerita... kadang2 tu aku sengaja tukar karakter nama Ahmad ke, Abu ke... dia tetap nak nama popeye... layan jek laa..

until this one nite, at exactly 2 mlm yg lepas... aku pon cam biasa berceritalaaa dgn dia... bila dekat nak abis, AZA merengek... "Mommy, Adam want milk!"... aku balas, "Sabar ye, the story's not done yet"... tapi sbb aku kesian, aku pon terus endkan cerita aku tu dgn THE END (mmg aku make sure aku stress kan ayat ni, so that he knows it's finished)

then, aku senyap... aku nak tgk dia still lagi nak susu ke tak...

Suddenly... dgn suara dia yg perlahan2 ala2 separuh berbisik...
"Adam want milk... Adam pon cry... huhuhuhu... Tokwan pon tanya... Nape ni, Adam? Adam want milk laa Tokwan... Tokwan pon cry... huhuhuhu... THE END"...

Bravo anakku! You are one good storyteller and a joker... I love you, sweetheart!

Adoyai! Sakit Gigi Gila...

Salam...

semalam aku buat root canal treatment... Masha Allah, sakit gila ok!
aku dah pegi dentist dah pagi Sabtu tu, setelah jumaat mlm tu aku takleh tido...
tapi takde pulak dr. yg panel tu... so balik dgn painkiller di tangan jek laa, dorang suh datang balik Monday...
haa malam tu aku sudah tido duduk! baring pon tak boleh... lahai!

so semalam, aku dah pegi dgn semangat juang yg tinggi... aku lagi taknak layan sakit waktu malam, aku rela layan sakit masa treatment yg mcm sakit nak beranak tu! (ok, yg ni aku exaggerate skett, sbb aku pakai epi hehehe)... mula2 tu ada ke dr. tu nak main drill jek tanpa meng'numb'kan jaw aku? tentu2 aku kasik jerit 'adik manja' aku tuh, then baru dr. tu tanya "sakitkah?"... nak jek aku jawab "takde laa dr. saya mmg suka jerit2 guna suara halus saya ni"... tapi tak laa kan... aku tak mampu menjawab apa2, hanya airmata sipi2 yg nak tumpah tu jek yg mampu menjawab soalan dia...
lantas dia bercakap pada nurse dia (yg aku tak paham... sbb guna mother-tounge mereka)... nurse tu sudah keluarkan satu pencocok yg bapak besar jarumnya... terus laa dia cucuk tang sini, dia cucuk tang sinun... dan tak lama selepas tu, terasa mungil laa bibirku ini...

so kesimpulannya, dr. baru buat yg bawah... yg belah atas dia kata aku kena datang balik, sbb dia kesian kat aku.. kalau buat 2-2 alamat penat la aku nganga...
oh shit! nak kena ngadap bapak jarum tu lagikah????

First Impression Do Not Treat You Right

Salam...

stumbled upon this video, and yes... we always pass judgement to strangers, but of course... you can never trust your first impression...

Grazie Susan Boyle! from seb fil on Vimeo.

Men In Tutus

Salam...

Me and suamiku went to watch this performance yesterday... 'twas superb! Loved it... I'm not a big fan of ballet myself, prolly the thought of my incapability doing those spins, twirls, stand-on-your-toes (which are almost impossible kot)... hehehhe... but this show was something different... maybe they injected humor in it...

I was kinda afraid to bring MAM along at first, since I know he doesnt fancy ballet either... esp seeing men in tutus (memula tu nampak macam drag show!) But he liked it sebab funny and yeah... 'twas my treat :) (happy 13th anniversary, B...) bukan kawin, declare dulu2...

For me it was damn funny ok! Imagine those dancers are well- built (body ketul2), but they danced ballet like they have been doing that all their lives... so graceful together with the storyline from famous tales eg The Dying Swan and The Swan Lake, also they did Duet (famous ballet performance yg ada laki menari dgn perempuan tu)... and the funny part mostly came from the way they wanna potray that they are guys... TAK SHAVE BULU KETIAK, ok!!!!

overall I give them 4 out of 5... best!

taken from http://www.menintutus.com.au/

KLPac - pegi laaa, cam menarik gak tpt ni...

some of the comments were posted at the KLPac lobby...

and I captured the best one after the show's over (coz I laughed the hardest at this scene)

'My man not in tutu'... another 'forced' performance directed by the photographer... sorry B, thanks a lot kerana melayan karenahku menyuruhmu berposing...

Lets Pray

Salam...

the first case of H1Ni has been confirmed today... Let us pray to Allah to safeguard us from all the illnesses and bad things in the world...

Let us also pray for the person(s) who got contaminated, may he's cured from this disease, Insya Allah...

++ MAD ++

Salam...

this entry is dedicated to my beloved hubby, MAM...
not that we are having differences at the moment (how can I be mad at you especially when you are away di JB... I've missed you, balik laaa cepat, jgn marah ye kengkawan)

remember what should we do when we disagree on something? Jangan tido/ buat dek without talking it over... it'll be a nitemare for both of us, kan? Lepas cakap2, then kita boleh tido dengan peacefully-nya...

love you...

Mommy's Day... continued

Salam...

ok, dah boleh cerita balik pasal celebration semalam...
siangnya tu, kami banyak melepet kat rumah MIL ku... saja2 dia datang panggil makan... yeay, takyah masak

then, bila dah petang after asar, we went out... first suamiku kata nak beli kasut coz he desperately need one...
so sudah ajak aku teman... aku ikut jek laa, coz straight from there, we'll have our dinner...

dengan tidak disangka2... aku jua mendapat 'tamparan'... bukan satu... tapi DUA!

muka nak makan... dah lapar... nasib baik ada kosong, sbb org fully booked the place dah!

by this time, heroku AZA dah show some signs nak demam! kesian dia... Musim sangat ke skrg ni???

sini laa kami bersantap... sungguh berharap dapat jumpa si amy.. takde :(

paperbag yg berkaler putih...

Mommy's Day

Salam...

Mommy's day is today... so awal2 MAM dah tanya nak dinner kat mana tonite? so I just said, suka hati, awak yg nak belanja... at first he wanted to go to VS, tapi bila dah gerak from rumah ibu mertuaku, dia kata lets try something else laa, bosan pulak dgn steak2 ni...
so.. kami pon ke Restoran Cheng Ho @ Wangsa Maju.. ala, si Amy Search punya...

tapi hariku juga bertambah gembira sebab dapat hadiah... hehehe... (tak sia2 aku pregnant dan hadap sakit contraction ok...) dapat hadiah lagi... dah laa makan free... Alhamdulillah... kalau camni boleh pregnant lagi.. ekkekekek...

Hadiah esok aku tunjuk... takde laa seberapa.. tapi yg penting, gratis! hehehhe... dah nak tido dah ni... esok keja! tata!

To my beloved mother...
thanks mak! I love you so much, and appreciates for all the things that you have done... I am never this proud to have you as my mother...
and to my MIL...
terima kasih jugak, mak! you are the bestest MIL in the whole wide world... banyak org sangat jeles dgn roz sbb dapat mak mertua yg plg sporting dalam dunia.. I love you too, of course!

Mode: Sakit

Salam...

I was 'out' for few days... sorry about that! I was spending my "Laborday- weekend" at the hospital to be exact, and had to take 2 days extra until yesterday to babysit my AZA... he was admitted for food poisoning... poor baby! (lauk kenduri kawin, please dont put the idea of yours truly masak ntah hapa2 ye? I masak baik punya!) My hubby got affected, too... but luckily, he only had to go for few rounds to see Dr. TAN... :) then he's fine...

It was so heart wrenching to see my baby tied to that IV drip (4 bottles for that 3D-2N stay at that 'hotel'), he was begging us to take that thing out of his hand so that he can 'jalan- jalan'... he's active, so when seeing him like that, it made me felt helpless... sedih bangat! When the dr came for his ward- visit on our last day, and seemed hesitant to let us out, I pleaded... I couldn't stand to see my boy like that, neither do I to stay there for another 24 hours... rimas weh! I wanna see sunlight... I wanna breathe real air... and I wanna see him running around, yeap, that's the most important thing! The dr made me promise to make sure my son drinks plenty of fluids, to keep him hydrated... "Aye aye, Captain!" and we chow! tata... we are going home...

Once home, my son healed quicker than we expected... he's back! Alhamdulillah!!! He's running, singing, 'joget'ing and watching his fav tv programs... OK sayang, no more check-ins to the hospital ye, Insya Allah... get well soon!!! Mommy and Daddy loves you! (Oh ye, yours truly pon dah sakit2, muntah2 starting from Monday aritu... lambatnya effect makanan tu terjadi padaku... ke antibody dah tak kuat... batuk pon dah lama tak baik2 ni??? Any tips???)

I should be admitting:

"You kan private hospital, what's with this snail-like service to check us in? My baju smell my son's muntah already..." Then after checking out, "Why your nurses keep checking my son's temp every half an hour, shouldn't this be a place for him to rest? ummm and do you mind, I'm sharing a single- bed with my husband here, we could appreciate some privacy (not that we are doing anything, tapi org Melayu kan, sogan den!)... and yada-yada-yada..."

Saya Penyibuk!

Salam...

Saya tak jaga tepi kain orang... (gamaknya laa, self- proclaim ok?)
tapi saya sangat sibuk kebelakangan ini...
banyak benda nak disettlekan...
bukan hal peribadi, juga peribodi...
tapi hal- hal kerja yang melimpah ruah....

salah satu tanda... sungguh jarang saya balik lambat...
paling lambat, 1 jam selepas jarum pendek dekat no. 5, jarum pendek no. 6...
tapi dekat sini... saya dah pernah balik masa jarum pendek dekat no. 9 (jarum panjang toksah cakap laa kan)...

semalam dah abis satu meeting... tinggal lagi satu jek lagi...
kesimpulannya... saya sangat sibuk! (lepas ni harap2 saya boleh blog hopping balik!)

Phewww!

Salam...

yup, passed that! What I've been worried for these past 3 days were actually nothing...
easy- peasy... (when I've rehearsed the lines over and over again inside my mind, and yours truly was having nitemare last nite, tak tipu!!!)

I've submitted the application form (applying new job at the new dept) and been dreading what would Mr. Big Boss would say... and it turned out he signed it and said I met all the necessary requirements... yahooooooo! Thanks, Mr. Big Boss!

so tomorrow, I'll send it to HR, and wait for the next arrangements... not that I'll definitely get the job, but to successfully make Mr. Big Boss sign the form is a major triumph to me, coz he is well- known to not let people transfer to other dept, unless you're being promoted...

well, no... I'm not going for promotion... tak cukup syarat lagi ;)

An Entry for AZA

Salam

Dear my baby, AZA
(altho you are no more a baby to all, but you are still one to me! *maternal love* wink*)

Happy birthday (on April 10th, and yes, I can still recall the moment vividly)... May your life be filled with happiness, success and most importantly... good faith to Allah and his messanger, amin...

To have you in our lives has brings lots of colors, laughters and of course some sleepless nites... nevertheless it was all worth it! We hope we have showered you with so much love and guidance that you should be getting, as we are endowed with these resposibilities by Allah...

As mommy always du'a for you:
"AZA jadi anak yg soleh ya, beriman, bijak, rajin, baik hati... pandai ambil hati org tua, suka bersedekah... dan segala yg baik2... AZA jadik role model to adik2 (amin...), Mommy & Daddy will always pray that you will be safe, successful dunia dan akhirat... Mommy doakan juga AZA mendapat jodoh yg baik nanti, Insya Allah..."

p/s: I know it's still early for the 'jodoh' part, but my MIL always remind me to doakan the kid(s) to have a good wife/ husband when they've grown up, because she's dang scared of today's social illnesses... So, why not? Of course I want good + beriman DIL or SIL... (iklan sekejap: adakah aku DIL yg baik di mata dia? heheheh)

my collection of his antics... love you, baby...

Some pix from the recent birthday celebration...

theme: Wonder Pets

Family and relatives who attended... but my dad was unwell that day, he didn't come... sob, sob... get well soon, bapak!

friends... thanks guys!

he loves the presents... you can tell by the smile... it does look like a forced one, rest assured he couldn't get enough ripping off the wrapper...
