Dils Stop .

Since my husband needs to attend a meeting this morning I followed him to work and went back to JB around lunch hour after he had finished his meeting and me, my shopping. The awesome Big Bad Wolf Sales. The sale start at 10 am, and I reached Amcorp Mall (naik LRT to station Taman Jaya) dalam 10 mins before 10. I was surprised to find lots of people waiting around the entrance. But its a warehouse sale. Cheap books! Of course loads of people gonna show up early. When it times to come in, it was utter madness. People scrambling everywhere to get books or reached the tables they want. The goods Loads of titles to choose from. Depends on your interest. But chic lit books got lots of nice authors. Which bring me to another good point here: got Georgetthe Heyer! Real cheap! Most of the books I seen there is RM8, even the big one. The organizers had kindly organized which section is which so I can just ignore the section I never really care about (Self help books. Gah!) ...

It was my birthday last Saturday and our first anniversary last Sunday. We vaguely planned a mini-break getaway but canceled it because it seems a bit costly and I macam malas. Thanks for all the wishes. Thanks also for husband for treating me to various eateries that I felt like having on Saturday. Went to IKEA for the baked salmon (I like the usual salmon better), bought strawberries at the Street, went to KLCC for books. My birthday gifts! Books! Fables tu tak kira sebab my husband yang sibuk sangat nak beli. At long last I got my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! Then Bakin Boys cookies, various windows shopping and salivating on things I can't afford, and then to Wangsa Walk for Secret Recipe because I am in love with their Japanese Soba and Vienna Brownies. Though my husband ordered the Vienna Brownies and I chose Lemon Cheese to try it out (not that great). Japanese Soba and Grilled Black Pepper Chicken. Setiap kali tengok black pepper chicken ni, teringat k...

Oh yeah. I changed the layout again. I got a little sick of the blog template that I had for the few months, and suddenly really wanted to change. I quite like it. Clean and simple. So will add the usual widgets later on. The thing with working in the middle of a huge sprawling shopping complex is the temptation to shop. Never really cave in to the whim before but this week I am sorely, sorely tempted to buy 2 pair of shoes. One is Andre Comfort, a gray, very cute shoes that have little crisscross on top. The other is Zang Toi red heels that just looks so sexy and incredible that I feel if wearing it I would walk sambil flip, flip hair and imagine windfan blowing hair (sebab itu kena flip) and fabrics all around like Gisele Bundchen on a photoshoot. Yes, walaupon, pendek, agak pear shape and have short stubby legs, sekali sekala perasan supermodel tak salah okeeehhhh. Both cost a few ratus, and I don't spend that much on shoes. But walking pa...

For as long as I can remember, if I start watching a movie. I mean really start watching a movie, (not sambil tengok sambil meandering buat mende lain) I would finish it. But I can't finish Shopgirl. If you had never heard of it, well, good for you. Starring Claire Danes, Steve Martin and Jason Schwartzman. I bought it on an impulse because it got Claire Danes. I like Claire Danes ever since My So Called Life. Her work is pretty diverse, she's pretty and can act. Some people said she is a bit cold and offish. And the funny thing is, she alwayysss seems to hook up with her co-stars. So she might be interesting at the very least, if her co-stars find her that interesting and fall for her. She even manage to steal Billy Crudup away from his pregnant gf (the likable Mary-Louise Parker) and not cause a major scandal like Team Angelina/Team Jolie or LeAnn Rimes proportions. Hoh. Then she dumped Billy Crudup for the dishy Hugh Dancy. Hah! (Sheesh, I know a lot of Hollywood gossip) No...

I curi this image from wiki . Please don't sue. And its not the same as my book cover. I read it and I like it. And can I end it with that? If I got time, I would curi Effi graphical review idea and do it, but I am much too lazy and I rather type. And wtf would I do on a graphical review. Got no cleavage rating to emphasize the need of an image. What's the book about? A maid is trap with a princess in a tower because the king is enrage that her daughter do not want to marry the man he chose. So he throw them in a tower, bricked up the door and the story unravels. Do I like it? Like I mention. Yes, yes, yes. Why? The story is simple. It stated on the back of the book that you would not guess the ending, and it is wrong as I can totally see the ending a mile away. But still that does not make the journey to the ending any less enjoyable. The language is simple. It got illustrations, not so much, but a bit and enough to make your imagination flares up. But its not exactly targete...

Got back from Sibu yesterday visiting my husband's grandfather. We went there on Friday and reached Sibu around 9pm after a mad dash to KLIA to make it to our 7.30 pm flight. We manage to visit him even late at night and it was heartbreaking to see him in so much pain. Sad to say he passed away on Saturday around Maghrib time. Anyway was glad that my husband sempat to make it to visit arwah last time before he passed away. Innalillah.

I am a pack rat. Asked my husband. We sometimes have silly fight on whose stuffs is the most stuffs that stuffed the room, and he always accused my stuffs. I of course deny this because I would deny everything and am a rampant liar. But of course this is true. Ask me tomorrow and I will say otherwise though. You get the gist of what constitues a pack rat. The 8 year old jeans that had seen better day (fabricwise and figurewise both) that you do not wear but you still hoard because you hope you can get your 20 year old figure back one day and smile that satisfied smile when you pull the jeans up past your thigh and butts. The countless perfume bottles and its BOXES that you saved and you hate to throw away because it cost a chunk of your money and damn it, if I paid RM200 for it, I will save em all! The old eye shadows and lipsticks that you spent in a compulsive buy during a warehouse sale and you only applied once or twice and should have thrown away because who the hell put on a brig...

I am WFH today. Working from home for you ignorant of the abbreviation. There are many, many times I questioned myself why I jumped into the technical line of IT (specifically programming!), because I am just plain crappy at it. But today I am glad at least for this job, I can WFH when I am down with flu because my MC is finish already. The cats are also doubly glad that there are someone at home and is being INCREDIBLY active by darting in and out of everywhere excitedly pausing now and then in front of me kinda like conveying... OH! You are HOMEEEE~ There is someone at homeeeee~!!!!! We can run around at the front yard!!!! Yeps the cats can be idiotic.

tired. disillusioned. very much not care about anything at all. at a loss on what I really want out of life. that everyone seems to be at a continent and I am stranded on desert, inhospitable island. hopeless at my inability. Maybe its Monday?

I went into the cinema not expecting much. After all its a horror movie. About a possessed cheerleader. And got Megan Fox in it. But then it was surprisingly good. Good is kinda lukewarm description, yes? Then cross that. It was kinda great and almost awesome. The dialogue was smart, not cliche and the lines are good. Good script. It turned a usual horror movie to a quirky movie that have its scare moments. Some of the scenes are heartbreaking and almost, almost bring tears to my eyes. You know how death scene in a horror movie always make you roll your eyes. But this not it. Good choice of actors and actresses especially Amanda Seyfried. I have always like her since Veronica Mars. Clever witty jokes. Doesn't try too hard nor is it too silly. Adam Brody is deliciously evil and hilarious as an indie band member trying to make it. God, I missed Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson. Oh and Megan Fox is also pretty good, you know, aside from the 'sexy' obvious. She clearly enjoyed doin...

Holly's Inbox by Holly Denham Life of a receptionist in London after she took a new job as a reception. Reading her life unfurled in email correspondents. Love this book. It is frothy fun. It is originally a website, (I think I mentioned it earlier but couldn't find the post to link it up) and the one who wrote this is a man. He originally wrote the story in the website for his company (excerpt of interview I freely took from Trashionista.com : It was initially just a way of getting more candidates to register for our recruitment agency. It’s a specialist agency for reception staff.. ) Holly is paranoid and I think he just writes for laugh, but it is an entertaining, light chic lit fun of a read! And God! I missed reading Bridget Jones. Holly's Inbox 2 by Holly Denham Kinda fun too, though I did preferred Holly's Inbox 1. Am disappointed that some of the characters in Hollys Inbox 1, is not mentioned at all (James, Jennie, Shella) in this book. The Illuminator by Bre...

Because I feel like blogging and couldn't be arsed to think of a topic. Bread Talk - Just finished eating Blueberry Puff? Whatever. It is pastry and got blueberry in it and I feel like puking it back out. Buying pastries is a bit of a hit and miss.. Some you loathe, loathe, loathe! (ciken floss). Some you can't get enough (Applewurm) Hari ini for the first time in about a year or more, I came into office before 9 am. Sampai orang yang aku tak kenal kat office pon remarked awal gile aku datang hari ni. *Maluism* And what amazed me is that, pukul 9.40 a.m pon, baru 5 orang je ade kat opis. Hahaha. So I am not THAT late normally (I usually saunter in around 10.15 every morning). Was wanting to watch Papadom on Friday night, then got in a massive bitch of a bad mood when I came home that night that I decided to not go watch any movies for the weekend and sleep instead. The reason for my bad mood? There were an unreasonable amount of slow cars in traffic that night. STFU Marrieds c...
