BBW 2018

So I got the preview pass to this year BBW and decided on the preview day to not bring the kids. Which is a good decision. I can easily browse for my books without worrying or attending fussy kids.  There were a lot of people in the preview day, but it was ok lah. I found it disappointing that adult books gotten a whole lot lesser year by year. I also found out that the Vivo Popular Warehouse Sale was held end of last Nov , I had missed those. Bummer. That book warehouse sale have a whole lot more books for adult, more current and interesting choices. Need to make sure I didn't miss it next year then.  On the preview day manage to snag this.  Pompeii sticker book tu untuk aku. LOL. The kids like my choices. Haven't opened the cat toy book tu lagi, but most of the books for the kids dah bukak dah. Didn't let em to open semua books at once. Each day boleh bukak satu je. Hehe.  So on another day brought them on Thursday for them to choose own books

Books forgotten

BBW is coming soon. I think I scored the preview pass, and will need to take the preview pass first at BookXcess. The annoying thing is , it is kinda hard to drive to the nearest BookXcess with 3 kids in tow. We'll see.  Also, I think I didn't put up the last 2 sales? Because I was busy and also another time I was too out of it from morning sickness.  Like I said before I like putting up here books I had bought so I can always refer which I haven't read yet. You might think it is impossible to not remember which book you had read, but my bird brain can't retain too much info it seems as I had twice read a book about 20 to 30 pages before noticing this seems very familiar.  I think this I bought last year? Cant remember this one. Probably masa I was very into my morning sickness. Anyway the latest book I had read is the Billion Dollar Whale. It was very straightforward. Can't read it too long because it is enraging how greedy some people are.

Its my birthday

Yeay me. I am feeling so tired nowadays. Harumph. Anyway. Yeay me? Nothing special plan for tomorrow. Need to buy my 2nd kid present for his birthday which falls on the 22nd and other stuffs. Memula I malas nak buat party pack and food and all that. Sekolah dont really encourage birthday bash, but mak2 biasa la. So I will be just sending cake and a boxful of those Kinder eggs. Let em go crazy and choose themselves. For moi? Maybe I will buy myself a cake. A slice of cake. My berat is OTT kenot control all those eating urges. Damn. I need to start my intermittent fasting again. But fasting time cuti sekolah is dead tiring. Feels good writing again. Almost free when blog is dead so my audience is probably me and meself. 

To Osaka or Not

We were scheduled to go to Osaka and Kyoto end of this month, but then Typhoon Jebi happened. It seems really tasteless to moan about the typhoon when people actually died, but the typhoon also caused major damage to the airport we are planning to arrive and embark at. Current news report So now with a lot of international flights yet to resume and status of our flight is still unclear ( saw today flight to Kansai was cancelled ) , it put a damper on my plan a bit. We can still refund the flight and have time a bit to cancel the hotel booking, but I am not sure if I should or want to. I was really hyping to go to Osaka and Kyoto. Maybe this is a sign not to go until things are a bit calmer. But the Japanese are renowned for their quick fix of problems. Even so, how quick?  Sigh.  And I don't even have the heart to go anywhere else partly because booking another flight and hotel in such a short time is gonna be so costly.  We will see if we get to go.  Maybe

Lets just put July here and I rambled about Kdrama I love

Its July. Bulan puasa come and gone. Raya come and gone. And still I haven't blogged. I am a little ashamed if I must say. I used to say that I can't imagine not writing. And here I am not writing. I have no idea what I do with my time. I also found that I have no time. My obsession with Kdrama nowadays certainly does not help. Tho if the kdrama I watched is a bit of a drag, or the heroine keeps on crying, that puts me off. I hate heroines who cry. So because I have time, ( even though the house is a disaster), the absolute top list of Kdrama I love and love and love. Top 10  Reply 1988 ( Solely for the reason of Park Bo Gum) ... and this is at the top even though every eps is so goddamn long, because this drama is why I have now started to watch Kdrama. It spurs the love. Queen In Hyun Man ( Most kdrama flounders midway, this one have the story well thought out of and the chemistry is amazing).   Black ( this would be the top if not for the god awful ending. wtf ki

A New Malaysia

indeed.  First of all. Selamat menjalani ibadah di bulan Ramadhan. My ramadan is pretty low key. It is just me and the kids. Havent been to pasar ramadhan yet, though I want to. It is easier to cook because going to pasar ramadhan with kids is not something I can muster up the energy for. We will however look for baju raya probably tomorrow at Melawati Mall probably.  Senang je sekarang since Melawati Mall ni dah bukak. Before this if I wanna look for stuffs, there is KLCC or Jusco AU2. Which the former parking rate is getting ridiculous throughout the years and the latter don't offer a lot of choice but still I like going there for movies and treating the kids 'makan kedai'.  Anyway. Just because it was a historic moment for Malaysia, I feel like I have to put it down here. We voted BN off. And that feel good. The euphoria last for a week I tell you. For 3 days after the election, I am stupidly happy. It feel like a burden had been lifted. I never realized be

Gone to Singapore the last school hol

We stayed at Village Hotel Bugis The stay at the hotel was pretty great. Clean spacious with good amenities. And most importantly near to good eating location. Because of that we ate Excellent delish briyani Delicious murtabak.  We also ate McDonalds because it is easy and also why not..  We were not long in  SG. The main trip was going to Science Centre which is actually pretty cool. Almost like Petrosains but with more diverse range of topics presented  We were outside the science centre here. We also went to Snow City which Aziz had a blast. But that place basically a scam to buy photos so no phone photos!  Went to the Gardens by the Bay and we didn't manage to get tickets to get inside since ticket counter closed at 8pm. BUMMER. Went shopping a bit. Just trying to get some LUSH product because I like their body cream and added in a soap and a foot scrubber. We only stay for 2  nights. Singapore is too expensive for a l

March!

I had been coasting along 2018 without knowing what I had done. Actually I do. It had been busy. Kids had been sick. Then I had been sick. Kids sick again. I felt like only last week I have a semblance of normalcy. I had also been an ardent fan of Kdrama. Never scoffs at a thing I say. You might turn out to be a diehard fan. Which I am now. KDRAMA is fabulous. They have excellent camerawork and cinematography, the scripts can be a hit and miss but even if its a miss, it hugely entertaining. I may do some reviews of sorts because I have no life. Later. I have some sewing to do. I have boys. They ripped stuffs up. I feel like I constantly sewing .
