Tada!

Tuka template sempena new year! Which is why I tutup jab blog. Though, I don't particularly like this green color. Tapi it is clean and simple and I like its retro pic. So perhaps I will test it out a while. And if my eyes just can't stand the green, I will change it. Took it from a lovely site , that have all sorts of beautiful templates. Though I did change the girl sitting coquettishly at the header from blonde to brunette. Because I'm a brunette! So its kinda like me, sitting in front of a computer, minus boobs that big. So in the mean time, the link list will not be filled out yet. As penat la nak duk add satu2. Tunggu confirm and by then bits by bits. Oh! Yesterday decided to go to KLCC alone and catch a UK movie called "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging". I always like UK movies, they have a fun sense of humour. And their movie is not too preachy. And I was right, it was hilarious. This movie is basically a tween movie about girl (Georgia) like boy, but b...

Not enough of a bargain

So I read that Malaysian Film Producers Association is proposing to up the price of Hollywood movie at the cinema at double the price. Wow! That is just preposterous. First of all, I do understand they want to protect local filmmakers. But putting the price at RM20 per ticket is kinda ludicrous. It would seems like instead of protecting the local filmmakers, they are punishing moviegoers for not making the 'right' choice. There are all kinds of outrage, and some even avowed to avoid local movies altogether if this proposal is being made into reality. Maybe they just up it to a few ringgit, is a bit OK (not more than half!!). It would give local filmmakers an advantage. Or try to increase their screening time, meaning, usually it is around 2 to 4 weeks that a local movie got its screen time at the local cinema. Some I notice only 2 weeks or less! Words of mouth on how good a local movie is kinda a slow momentum around here... Like I heard about a movie that is good, pastu bile ...

Nak frolick, frolick

So I am at work today. The mood in the office is a holiday one. The one who didn't get holiday are boringly poring over programming or systems. Of course not for long, as the connection here decided itself that it should be on holiday mood too, as it keep on doing its disappearance act. It's very boring when you open a system and it keeps on getting disconnected ok. Make you feel like just packing up and go back home and play with my cat. What's your plan for the 3 days holiday? Nothing much for me. A whole lot of kemas-ing rumah and probably a movie later on with some japanese food. I kinda missed going out alone. So thinking of doing it alone nanti. Tataw lagi biler. Hehehe. Ingatkan nak post gamba Melaka. But I left my camera at home. Nanti la. Nak kena edit jugak tu. Haih. Malasnye. Nanti la update lagi. Jom lepak!

Congratulations to Ja and Remy

Gon, Seri and I (and also Seri's cousin) make a day trip to Ja's wedding last Saturday. Fuh. 10 hours in the car. Gon the driver mesti balik weng je rase. Ja looked sweet but of course she still retain her 'kebrutalan' even on her wedding days. *groans* Everybody during tepung tawar was laughingly asking the pengantins to look ahead and smile and be still for the cameras. Hoho. Bole tak the groom duk kumat kamit kumat kamit mulut membebel while the bride siap angkat2 tangan lagi bercakap dengan orang while on the wedding dais tengah orang nak tepung tawar. Hehehe. Takpe. Sebab itu memang MekJa. Tapi masih sweet ok. Huhuhu. So after few shots of pics, dapat jugak gamba die org yang ala-ala ayu. Yeay! Anyway the food was delish, daging adalah sangat sedap. Wooo... woooo. *lapar dah plak* So on the way back we decided to singgah la kejab Ipoh. Sebab semua dalam kereta itu kepingin sizzling mee kat Jusco KC. It is not exactly as what I remembered it. But probabl...

Its not just this

Perbuatan Jerit cabul hak asasi kanak-kanak KUALA LUMPUR 21 Dis. – Tindakan pertubuhan tidak berdaftar, Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas (Jerit) menggunakan kanak-kanak dalam programnya di Bangunan Parlimen minggu lalu, mencabuli hak asasi golongan tersebut. Pengerusi Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN), Tan Sri Zaleha Ismail berkata, ia bukan sahaja melanggar Akta Kanak-Kanak 2001 malah menyalahi Konvensyen Hak Kanak-Kanak yang diamalkan di seluruh dunia. Bekas Menteri Perpaduan Negara dan Pembangunan Masyarakat yang bertanggungjawab mencetuskan idea penggubalan Akta Kanak-Kanak 2001 berkata, hak yang digariskan di bawah undang-undang dan konvensyen itu tidak hanya tertakluk kepada kanak-kanak sekolah rendah tetapi meliputi bawah 18 tahun. “Kanak-kanak ada hak asasinya sendiri. Sesiapa sahaja termasuk ibu bapa atau mana-mana pertubuhan yang menggunakan kanak-kanak dengan membawa mereka ke majlis seperti yang dilakukan oleh Jerit adalah satu perbuatan mengeksploitasi kana...

Diet Pftthhhhhhh..... (sambil makan ayam goreng)

During the past months, I had been dieting. Intensely. Just to get into that wedding dress. My effort was rewarded as I manage to not look so pudgy and gabak in wedding dress. My baju kahwin also needs to be re-altered quite considerably due to this, and one baju tak sempat nak realter which cause it to look like baju pinjam. Ugh. Tapi it looked fine enough la. And you all seen the after pictures kan. Before picture? I was too depressed to take any pictures of meself. Hahaha. Anyway, my dieting consisting of eating almost healthy food, thwarting the evil complex carbohydrates which I love dearly and reducing my food intakes. The first 2 months was pure torture cause those who knew me, knows I can wipe off 3 plates of food easily. However aging women (semuanye aging la kan, mane de immortal) all around have to admit that as they grow older, their metabolism sucks more, so food intake needs to be controlled. So there I was, not chewing lettuce nor carrot stick, but lunching solely on man...

Life Goes On

When I was a wee girl, I thought to myself that at 25 I should be a VERY grand lady, where dining and wining (ala sparkling drinks je) is a norm in life. There would be a few movie stars personas worshipping the ground I walked on while I pined away for someone truly awesome like James McAvoy (hihu) or Cary Grant (masa die muda2). If the guy is a small country prince is even more awesome. Anak2 datuk tak main la OK masa time berangan. If you can dream, dream big right? Berangan over kan masa kecik2. What I want to be in term of career is of course somewhat vague. But from all the movie air stewardesses seems to have a lot of fun in my 9 year old mind so I used to think I would like to be that so movie stars entering the plane can easily notice me and worship the goddess I should be. Of course the notion of being an air stewardess is never serious as I continue to be short and get motion sickness very often. And of course it was deemed uncool among the 'smart' kids to be ...

Picture worth a thousand words?

Really? But I do not think that it translate to camwhoring pics, right? Ah well, I would still love word laden post more I think. Hehehe... Sebab I had bought myself a spanking new camera as part of the wedding hantaran, it would be totally useless if I didn't put some bad photos in this blog wouldn't it. And of course I know, Dila would love it. (Kamon, you like post yg ade gamba kan...) So went around town today, for some food tasting around Bintulu and some shopping. Decided at last to bring along my camera and snap pics like some camwhoring crazy bloggers. Hahahaha. Jahat. Teh C Ais Special. Only in Sarawak. Tasted like air kathira. Blergh, pelik la. Ade syrup pandan in teh ais. I like Sarawak because of inside its Ice Lemon Tea are actually lemon and not lime. Tapi pahit sangat la orang di sini buat lemon tea. Mee Kolok Sup. A bit bland. Taste like megi ayam. Patut pon orang Sarawak yang I know suke megi ayam. Now I know da reason lorrr. Mee Kolok 'kering...

Oh...

Been so busy the past days before cuti, that I didn't get to schedule my other blog posts. Ah well. The memes and the photos are at my laptop at home so lagi la malas hapdet. Still at in laws house at Bintulu. Currently am using my husband laptop while he is snoring beside me and the battery is just about out. Will be back on Thursday, but will still be holiday-ing. So malas mode still rampaging on. Later. Adieu.

The Generation Y tag

1. They spend around RM300-RM500 a month on entertainment and leisure Hoh. Kaya tul. I never keep track of my expenditures, but I am pretty sure it is around RM200 a month. Lebih sikit je mula la kena ikat perut time lunch. 2. Their love for shopping has earned them the label of "dream consumers" Maybe maybe. But I am not too excited on shopping ever since this whole getting married business. Sekali sekala when the mood strikes eh. 3. On a good day, they hang out at designer coffee outlets and indulge in good food, which easily comes to RM15 per meal My boss likes to pay for our coffee at Starbucks. He usually held meetings there, so 'designer' coffees for free! But I never really like coffee so I don't frequent this place. But I do like to indulge in good food occasionally and it does surpass RM15 per meal. (Helllo... nasi ayam for 2 pon dah lebih RM20 ok sekarang) 4. Many own the newest handphones, equipped with the latest technology. Doesn't mat...

Points in paragraph

Itching to blog with no apparent topic in head. Will be going to Bintulu for the 'bertandang' session on the 4th of December and will be gone for about a week. Fear I will not be blogging in about a week too as I am not too sure on the internet connection there. However, prolly I will schedule some meme I owe from Sue and also a few memes I just like. My husband brought his PS to the house. Just gotten myself acquainted with Guitar Heroes (without es or with?). Kinda see how you can get yourself addicted to it. Didn't play it much as my bro-in-law was hogging it. Macam best je kalau beli guitar die. Even I am kinda hooked on Piah Zadora, hehe. But most of the time, I have no ideas which blogger she meant. Macam baca Pancaindera nye blind item rasenyer. I feel fat. Need to start eating healthy / exercising or whatever again. (Tetapi milkshakes di Wendy masih belum di rasa... hmmmmmmmmm ) Last Friday had a sorta company dinner at Hotel Imperial, then after that I had to rush ...

Kembali

The only gamba bride amik yek. Tadek masa nak camwhoring. Taken after wedding dah habis, before wiping the make up off. The wedding went well. I was "gorjes" (quote seri's word). Cewah. Bole tak puji diri sendri. Hahahaha. Anyway, it all went well, almost. The cake was disaster OK. Hahha. I ordered a 3 tier cake, but the top tier fell down in a splat. I only knew about it after the wedding, though I had my suspicion semasa upacara memotong kek ituh. Tapi time tu, you can't sweat the little thing la kan. Kang muka bride macam Bride of Frakenstein pulak. Ni gamba kek yang time die tengah disaster. Kesian tul. Rugi taw. But my sis proceeded to repair the kek with bunga. Haih. Rase nanti lenkali balik JB macam nak komplen je kat kedai tu. My mom cakap patutnye bawak gi kedai kek yang jatuh tu, saying that your support thingies doesn't work nak ganti. Huhuhu. Takpeler. Mende dah lepas, my auntie pon sponsor cake. (Mesti my auntie hangin je). See the below for the cake...

Its my birthday!

But how unbirthdayish I feel! Ye la, kate the BIG day tomorrow kan. I almost forgot my birthday, and that's a rare occurence. So with henna still damp on my hands, I am writing this today, to remind myself I am 26 today. Man. 25 sounds better aight. But I will like it better when I am 27 I think, as I like that number. Hahaha. Okay. There's a lot things to do. Hish. Hmmmm. I do not think I would get my 1001 Nights of Snowfall. :(

What's ahead...

This blogger may or may not be posting in about a week. She is busy trying to be a bride. (kenapa ade trying...) Posting will resume depending on the internet connection back at home and how hectic it would be. Safe journey to friends heading this way (JB) this Saturday. Hope to see you there! I will be the jittery one wearing a beaded baju kurung trying in vain to make sure her dress would not be torn asunder by her usual blunderness and blurness. Until the next post, this bride-to-be wishes you a good week.

Say what?

On the way back from Shah Alam, I heard "Love is only a Feeling" from Darkness. I still hate that song. p/s: Shit. Banyaknyeeer keje aku. Kenapa kalau nak cuti je, mesti keje banyak. Time takde sibuk nk cuti tadek plak. Haih.

The last week of being called Cik

The wild bachelorette night turned out to be a staid event. Ala. Macam we are the type to get wasted and kissed some random guys on the street pon. (That would be cool, but bukan senang nak cari kissable random guys). The main thing was that the girls get together and had slumber late night talking about idiotic but occasionally some serious stuffs. Man. Getting older kinda sucks. Even trying to have fun seems to be such a chore. This weekend will be the big day. As so many people reminded me. It felt weird to get married. Life goes on smoothly. The sun will rise and shine. It occasionally rains. Only I would have a man in my life who would be responsible to gimme some lunch money. Hahaha! Ugh, but selagi coding ni I can't do, selagi tu la I can't seems to focus on the wedding things. Dah malas keje. Nak cuti. "Semua dah siap ke?" A question often directed to me these past few weeks. That question make me panic taw. But I gotten decidedly calmer when people asked me t...

Asking for rights

Okay. I am a little woozy from gadding around town today... so maybe I am not making sense. So bear with me as I untangle my thoughts. There are some people that are talking about gay rights. These are the issue that the Americans face nowadays because of the Prop 8 thingies. Those who don't know, google je la ok. Malas nak explain. Its hard for me to comment on the gay rights thingies and of course in Malaysia the issue is almost non existent. But if we would be asked like generally regarding the gay rights on how we view it, it would be kinda difficult. First of all, I am a person who believe that people should have the right to choose their own happiness and way of living as long as they do not harm others. However, I am also brought up as a Muslim where Islam prohibit same sex relationship. I wondered if this question if being forwarded to me or you (my Muslim friends), by 2 different people of different faith, would your answer differs? Would you say, gay should have the right...

Fall 08 Shows : My Kinda Thoughts

Enough of wedding prep's post I say. Here is a long post on TVs series! Yeay! This post is kinda overdue eh? Usually I would somewhat recap or tell what shows I am gonna watch. But laziness pervades and I got kinda busy and too many people are hogging the computer at home, so it left only the laptop at work where sometimes I am too distracted to click on "New Post". Anyhoooo... don't you guys think that this Fall 08 show is kinda dull. Last season is like series galore. Then the writers strike kinda put a damper on the whole thing which left some of my favorite shows in a convoluted storyline as the season have to be shortened and not to mention some had been mercilessly axed. Looking at the list before seasons start, there is one or 2 that is kinda promising but nothing really make me all hype up. Well maybe 90210 because the appearance of Shannen Doherty. Also Dollhouse. But that is reserved for midseason viewing. GILER LAMA. Thus since I do not have so much time to...

Filler Post

There is another long post. Tapi tak abes edit lagi. Nanti la. Nah... gamba Fasha Sandha untuk ceriakan Tuesday anda. Courtesy of Big Huge Labs . Gotten this excellent image 'modificator' from supermummy blog when browsing through her blog. Hehe. Thanks!

Blabbety blah blah blah...

OK. Let's get all these preparation off my chest. Sorry if you guys are getting bored, but nak cerita jugak la as this is me blog. So, there are some things that still left unsettle. I am in panic regarding that. But it seems like I am the only one to be so. Gah! Ugh... there are still cards still need to be sent, baju to be paid and dry clean, things to be ordered and reserved and stuffs to buy. *PANIC MODE ON* It felt like it is time went by so fast, and I can't wait for this wedding to be over. I do not particularly excited on the wedding. More on the holiday! I want long holiday! Even though the holiday may encompass preparation and crazy dealing with people of all sorts and packing and repacking. The wedding borang is happily finished. I took a leave and went to JB with fiance to settle it. Its been a crazy running around town that whole day. The last minute saksi signing. Thank god for old classmate and nearby relative. The surat perakuan bujang needed to be o...

Oh the controversial baju...

The issue is somewhat solved. Well not entirely, but its not as disastrous as I thought it would be. First of all, thanks all for your concern. Huhu, I am very touched indeed by all your concerns. Well, I finally got my wedding dress. Baju kurung la more specifically. Bile cakap wedding dress, gowns and frills comes to mind. Last Friday, I had already hardened my resolve to go and buy a new dress or beg some seamstresses to jahit me a new one. However luck as have it, come early on Saturday morning. The tukang jahit, SMS me apologizing (not profusely enough I think.. hehe) saying that she was very ill and had closed her shop for a while. (Tapi kenapa tak letak notice ek?). I was really relieved that I do not admonish her. (Kang die bakar baju aku sape nak ganti...) She said that she will ask her husband to give me the dress on Saturday. It do not come. Then on Sunday. It do not come. Then on Monday, it do not come. I am beginning to be jittery and start thinking again on Plan B. Then y...

I am cursed!

Warning : This is a post full of expletives and swearing. If you think your sense and sensibilities might be offended, go elsewhere. Fuck! Fuck! Double fuck! Double fuck does not even cover this. This is like a humongous loads piles of fuck waiting to just flatten you. Or already had. The thorne of trauma in my life now is the boutique that supposedly to be handling my wedding dress had fucking dissapeared. Gah! Gah! Gah! This is a situation so fitting to panic. I want to panic. Maybe I am panicking. God! I need a paper bag to breath through. The gist is, the dress should had siap like last weekend. But I went back to JB. So I decide to go back on Tuesday to amik the dress. Then it fucking close. Ok enough. Then I went back on Wednesday and Thursday. The light is on, but the door is locked. You also have no idea how many times I called and called but the calls went unanswered. On Thursday (yesterday), it seems like the shop is in dishevelled state. Magazines piled up in the middle of t...

Pening la

Gah! So currently I am distributing my kad kawin. And it is becoming a bother on who I want to invite and not invite or who to distribute card too. Pening laaa. So I turned to Friendster, and that does helps a lot but not so much. I mean la kan, if somebody change their name or nick to something like "SweetGirl", ade aku pedulik ke nak click-click banyak2 names tu to check who you are. Then they choose to be all witty kekononnye and put nonsensical thing in place of schools and workplace dan tak upload gamba plak tuh. Tension. And there's a lot of people (relatives) that I have to give by hand tapi macam tak sempat je. *Run around in panic* Gah! Gah! Pastu kan.... kad macam tak cukup jeeeeeee. So kalau sesiapa yang tak dapat card tu and got the online version or SMS je (mmg nak kena pelangkung), mintak ampun yaa. Gomen ne. Jangan majuk2 yeee. I am prioritizing on the cards and any one of you who are getting married or had gotten married will surely understand if...

Kitty Woe is on Me

So my fiance went to Miri for a couple a days, so I was being given temporary custodial right for our kitten . However I totally phailed at the job as she is now at a vet under observation as she fell from the first floor to the ground floor. I was playing with her and stopped for a while. Before this she was playing around, running around madly at the first floor near the stairs. Then she stood still for a while in front of my sister's door. I took a step toward her and guess that she took it as a sign that playtime start again she went around running madly that she didn't realize the gap near the stairs and fell right through. Oh, oh, oh. My heart breaks even remembering that horrific sight now. My brother called out " Kucing kau jatuh! Tengkuk die macam patah " (Your cat fell. Her neck looks like broken). I rushed downstairs and found her writhing around in pain, her neck looks stiff and kinda twisted. I was in sobs. I took her upstairs and lie her on top of m...

I am a glorified freeloader and loving every moment of it

Boss nak blanjer dinner tapi kena tolak sebab kena jumpa photographer hari ni. I can't postpone again la kan? ( Dah postpone before as kena stayback at office for a while) Nanti orang cakap janji Melayu and even though I am Melayu and usually I am on time and try my damnedest to be there, so tu pon janji Melayu jugak tu. Cuma yang ni adalah, janji Melayu yang bukan hampesh. Hahahaha... tak masuk sense. Gah! SO I MISSED OUT CHILLIES FOR PELITA MAMAK? You! Yes, you yang komplen bile I cakap ade dinner FREE. Tremble for your life (or ears) tonight. :P . Pelita makanan die tak best. Owh... btw. Bestnye able to meet again the lovely buddies. Can we do that every week? Hahaha. Susah la kan especially nowadays everyone seems to be so busy. I am so sad! But rase lupa trouble in life when meeting up with the girls again. And at least I manage to singgah at Yong's open house on Friday to distribute my wedding invitations. Before stepping onto Yong apartment complex, I took a deep breath....

Glowing

There's a scene in the Stardust movie that I love, where Yvaine dance with Tristan. While Tristan whirl and whirl her around in his arms, Yvaine kept on glowing brighter and brighter. I guess some glow the brightest where only the blind remain unseen. While some only those with the keenest eyes can detect that glow. Hmmmm. I want to watch Stardust again. p/s: Bosannye kena keje hari ni. Kalu tak dah habis dah 3 4 rumah round beraya.

Tataw nak letak ape kat sini...

Well, seems like it had been some time yeps, when I last update. I can offer no excuse. I just don't feel particularly typey. Oh... my weekend was spent on watching Angels and buying some things. And I guess trying to watch the series I acquired. So much to do, so little time. Even with so many things to watch, I am still trying to see how I can get myself a Felicity box set. And that 70s show. Huhuhu, and perhaps some collection boxsets of BBC period dramas? Heeeee. Damn it. I feel like going back to Vietnam to just buy dvd box set. Its crazy cheap there. Here, we have to pay more than RM50 for a season. Over there, its less than RM150 for the whole series seasons. Usually around RM 120 or sometimes less. Depends on how many seasons are there, as the more they are, the higher the price as it only means there would be more DVDs. What's more, they stored the whole season in 1 DVD only. Gile best OK. And in such a nice lovely compact case... See my Angel here. ...

Thou shalt have flood in thou abode

For the second time. Ugh. So, my brother and I manage to avoid the massive jam known as the long public hols crawl on the North South Highway. Just when I think I can jump onto my beloved bed, alas its not to be. Because somehow karma thinks I was a bitch and gave me retribution in a sort of a flood. In my room. Only in my room. Somehow the water pipe overhead of my room is feeling leaky and decided to leak itself all over my room. Hmmmm... Understandably I am feeling crap. Pissy at no one in particular. Incredibly frustrated at this happening again in a different house, different time, same circumstances. Did I mention again how crappy I am feeling? Let me just say it once more with a feeling. Crap. However my sister asked me to be grateful. I, of course did no such thing and proceeded to bang and clatter and throw everything in sight. Did I also mention that I can have a pretty epic bitch moments whenever certain opportunity arises. Well... I feel this situation is a ...

What did I do during the 1st Raya?

I watched the first season of Angel. Oh. I love Doyle. I think its the Irish brogue accent. It seems the character was played by Glenn Quinn who's an Irish. Hmmmm... I seems to have a thing for guys with Scottish or Irish accent. Well, Doyle character was not long. About 9 eps. Why, why, why did his character have to be killed of? Then I looked in imdb.com to see what other movies and series he had done, I was stunned to find that he died of heroin overdose few years back. It seems that he was having problem with drugs and this is one of the reason he had problems getting/committing to work. Pity. I feel like rewatching Angels eps with only Doyle episodes in it. Must not be that mad... Hmmmm.... I doubt I will be so free today as at my home, people start visiting during the 2nd Raya.

Selamat Hari Raya Orang Qatar!

Macam banyak je tahun ni kuih raya as ramai duk kasik... Tahun ni my brother and moi will be driving sendiri balik JB. Horrors! As I never drive more than an hour before and out of KL. Hehe... Still at the office feeling immensely bored. Menaip blop sambil main game worms at my phone. Game Worms ni tak adil. Ade ke patut bile tiba nak kasik weapon je, my team punyer mesti masuk air. Hoh! Still haven't paid my zakat fitrah yet. Will be doing this today, obviously. I like to procrastinate. Selamat Hari Raya Alisha, akak and abang adam. And to all others out there. Abid dah balik Changlun dah. Tsk. Tsk.
