The Wide-Awake Princess by E.D. Baker My rating: 4 of 5 stars About the book In this new stand-alone fairy tale, Princess Annie is the younger sister to Gwen, the princess destined to be Sleeping Beauty. When Gwennie pricks her finger and the whole castle falls asleep, only Annie is awake, and only Annie—blessed (or cursed?) with being impervious to magic—can venture out beyond the rose-covered hedge for help. She must find Gwen's true love to kiss her awake. Read this months back... and not much to say about it. Bought this for my niece who is 9, and she loves it. Before giving it to her, I read it first.. just to make sure no inappropriate stuffs is ongoing in there. Ok I lied. Of course I read it because I wanted to. I love Y.A. Especially reimagining of fairy tales. It was a cute story. A good book to give to young girls and my niece who is into princesses is currently reading it the second time. So that is saying something aight. ---------------------------------...

Tu MyVi busuk aku. Kena aniaya dek orang.  It goes like this, last week on Thursday ( malam jumaat nii), on the way back from office to home cermin kena pecah dek peragut.  Jalan nak masuk Ukay Perdana at MRR2 tu kan selalu jem amat, so at 8 pm, memang still banyak kereta lagi lining up at the traffic light tunggu for the light to go green. Aku pon antara kereta2 tu la, dan with radio on and tengah kunyah2 Mochi mahal sedap gilos sebagai buka pose, and air Gong Cha. Ye tu semua korang kena tahu walaupon tak penting. Sebab peragut tu jugak telah kill my appetite untuk buka pose.  So while tengah minum air tu, tetiba dengar bunyi 'kraaaakkk'. Sumpah bunyi camtuh. Aku pandang passenger side, tengok cermin aku cracked. Tepi kereta aku ade motor. Orang atas motor tu tengah pandang aku. Pastu 'kraaaakkkk' lagi. Rupanye orang belakang motor tu tengah cuba pecahkan cermin ai T_T . Bila kali kedua die try tu baru aku sedar... "shitttt die orang nak amik beg ...

Rejoiced! I used to read at breakneck speed. When the last Harry Potter book came out, which is just a nice during the weekend, I holed up in my room and finished it in 12 hours. Intense. During my semester break uni days, because no money so beggars can't be choosers, we went to the library.  By we I mean me , my mom and my 2 little brothers. So usually by the end of 2 weeks I had read all of my 5 books, and my mom 5. Brothers punye tak because children book meh. Sekaranggg.... 2 bulan la nak habiskan Sophie's Choice. And it was an interesting read, it was a good book. Not great, but suspenseful, nicely writte, well drawn out characters and interesting issues. Issues of growing up, acceptance, sex, illnesses, wars. It is not a light read but it is not heavy either.  I had always wanted to read Sophie's Choice, because pop culture references. Doesn't it drives you mad when people keep on quoting things you have no idea of. So this is why. I am surprised t...

The top above yang I made in Vietnam that the tailor did not make as I wanted it to be made  it was suppose to be longer tapi I brought it to be altered to shorten a bit. Tapi not to my specifications pon I still like wearing it. Ok. Nak gi shopping kat Global Indian Festival lak.

Who is sooooo making her mommy nerves on edge semalam sebab tanak tidur and if he nak tidur pon, atas mommy and ME being ME who is all alone with no help ( maid? what maid... she went out with her friends from morning till maghrib all weekend) aku rase nak cekik semua orang. Anyway, aside from that... he is growing up.. to be what.. I dont know yet. Somewhat clingy, demanding, knows what he wants, like Game of Thrones song. ( sorry, I can't help it, I love that soundtrack, but I let him watch the series, when.. hmm.. maybe he is starting college? ) Last weekend swim. Comel sangat kan. (jawabbb yeee) So what is up with him. He is 10 month today! 2 more months and he will be my tiny tots. No longer my tiny baby. Sedih! He already have 2 teeth at his bottom, it is the cutest thing and he likes using my hand as teether. Sekarang rase geli2 la kan, tunggu la nanti bile dah fully grown.  He can stand! And he stands up so proudly looking at his mommy and sengih besar ...

Dah lama tak berbual pasal bulus2 can. Tapi unless kalau die orang sakit ke or ade ape2 spectacular is happening, tadek sangat pon yang lain dari yang lain untuk diceritakan.  Oh cuma satu yang buat aku angin dengan Bobby  Jangan ingat muka inesen di atas tu tiada dosa. Die I notice sejak 2 menjak ni, duk spray2 kencing sikit2 kat keliling rumah. Kalaauuu macam Fasha dulu at least kat dinding , atau lantai, sonang je dilap. Ni kat sofa okeeehh.. dengan ade sekali tu kat almari buku, tapi sempat aku lempar  barang sebelom die buat. Haih la.  Husband asked the vet, tanye tu marking ke. Vet cakap kalau dah neutered tu impossible untuk marking. Hurmph. But he does not pee, more like mark with pee kut. Adoi la kan. Now sekarang I am using the Urine Off to see if he will do it again. Babap bobby ni, memula dulu die buat camtuh, pastu die punye solution die is to let him out once in a while sebab die tension tak boleh keluar rumah, tapi I can't let him out bi...

I had been a loyal customer of DiGi from 2000 /2001. I can't remember. Back in those days, phone are gile expensive and beli line sama jugak cekik darahnye. My first phone the banana nokia was actually given by my then bf. He got sick of calling me through my friends and bought me a phone because I told him I don't think so I need a phone. Hahaha. Sekarang dah phone addicted kan. I cerita to my husband that and he just looked glum ( as his usual looks when I told him of my ex bfs which is honestly I don't tell much laaa .. considering my ex bfs... ) .  Anyway the then bf gave me the phone but told me I need to get my own line. Pffttt. Well, I remembered then Maxis you need to pay more than RM200 to get the prepaid. Almost RM300 kut, and DiGi was RM159. I went with the cheaper one. Why not other telco at the time? At that time, UTP masih diconsider as kawasan jin tendang, and Maxis, you can get almost full bar there, but for DiGi if you prop your handphone right at the ...

.. which amount to nothing sebab cam biasa je hari tu. Ooo. I did cook pho that Sunday. It does not fail spectacularly, so that is a big win. Haha. I kinda overdid the fish sauce a bit, and lessen the cooking time from 2 hour to an hour and a half. My brother in law helpfully gave his critic , haha, saying maybe the cooking time should not be lessen. Well then... maybe another time I will attempt again the pho,  Tapi siang tu, I brought little Ajis to the swimming pool at the clubhouse. My sister punye clubhouse la. I punye clubhouse probably is the sungai/longkang besar depan rumah itu.  I tak turun pool sebab I don't have the appropriate apparel, so husband la yang played with him in the water. And he loves it. The way he moves in the water macam kalau lepaskan dah boleh kuak2 macam katak. Haha. But we did that once, with him wearing pelampung di lengan, dan die tenggelam sikit and cry. Wahaha. Nak advanced sangat parents Ajis ni But he does not love it as mu...

Honestly. The newspaper dekat country ni macam tadek conscience kan. Rase macam nak carik2 editor yang approve all these headlines today. I am not sure what they are trying to gain but they are treading in dangerous water.  That being said, I am gonna say this, schools should not be segregated according to race. While any races can enter the vernacular school, but the channel is left wide open for segregation. Then nak pelik kenapa racism berlaku. I don't understand the need of vernacular school. If they really want it, then make it like sekolah agama la. An optional school, after you had attended a 1Malaysia school that is attended by all races equally. Bebudak johor boleh je juggle 2 school hari-hari, so ok what. Semua happy. But no... these people want to make education as their political agenda, then nak pelik why we have a long way to go as 1 Malaysia.  Wow is this my most serious post in a while kan. Tee hee Ok this topic is kinda reprehensible, so I am gonn...

Husband is back at Turkmenistan. Honestly with a cranky baby, unpredictable work environment, I am seriously considering going with him there. He transferred to the capital of Turkmenistan which is much more better than the camp he is living in now, tapi much better for him la, for me? Dan boleh ke bawak Kuwap?  Ajis cakap undilah saya untuk parti segitiga untuk kebahagian bersama.  I cut his hair. More like ask husband to bring him to barber to shave his head. Not fully botak la, but I wanted to curb his bad habit of pulling his hair bile die tension. Kecik2 dah ade bad habit. Babap die. Ni sekarang if he wants to pull his hair, he will feel it and then garu2 je scalp die. Haha. Kesian. I miss his curls la. Ni nampak notti.  Ajis baby had a mild case of croup recently which made him a crankier than usual. Kesian semalam kena marah dengan mommy. Sebab mommy pon sama sakit, but he is a sweet baby cuma extra clingy bile kat rumah. I told him many times, nanti da...

I think long time readers here ( ade lagi ke) may remembered I had already went there a couple of times. This time I want to shop. But bringing in baby also hampered a bit of shopping, but not by much. Baby Aziz had been a delight that he deserved several smacks and cute embroidered clothes for his trouble. But I am getting ahead of my post. Before we go to Vietnam, which is on Thursday last 2 weeks, mak die and anak die baru la terkedek2 nak buat passport on Monday. Nasib baik la gak I opt to wait for husband because passport baby punye process goes something like "passport ni nak ikut mak ke ayah. Kalau mak sehari je kalau ayah 5 hari." Kite orang mesti la nak amik mudah cakap mak. Sekali nasib baik die bagi ayat seterusnye "then kalau ikut passport mak, anak ni tak boleh dah dapat ape2 keistimewaan yang orang Sarawak dapat, e.g. biasiswa, pembelian tanah di Sarawah, penurunan harta".. Woooooooo. So we decided baby passport ikut ayah die. The process is no...

Husband bought a bookmark that listed down 50 books to read before you die. Out of all I only counted 14 I had read. Barely a quarter. I am not sure I must read it all. There are other books that are equally delightful. Life is too short to have a list.

Budak nakal yang nowadays semua mende nak masuk mulut. He had almost eaten 2 of keyboard keys. Manage to pry out a receipt from his mouth recently. Oh and he boleh merangkak dgn cara yang betul tapi totally cartoonish way  Ape lagi... mummy die tak ingat sebab bz gilos ni. Which is why I have not been updating about the cats sebab the cats need moar pics in blog. Back to work bebehhhh.

I was in an one on one meeting with a manager . Ini manager mat salleh from a European country so.. yeah accent sedikit kuat. We start the meeting by introducing myself and I told a bit about my baby. Then it was his turn and he said.. " as you know , I'm Gaayy." I was speechless for about 10 secs while my mind was going... "okkkkkk... I am not sure why he is telling me that". Then after he seen me silent for a while, he went on.. "yups.. I am gregory...". Penat aku tahan gelak. Yela kan. Why the hell would people want to say that to their employees out of the blue. Telinga pokak. I am now laughing about this with my colleague.

My expensive (for me la) lunch. Aku suke sangat O briens. Their bread is awesome and before this I ordered their salmon sandwich yg slathered with cream cheese and I fell out of love. Cheese is not meant to be eaten with salmon kut. It absolutely killed the taste. So I ordered my favorite sandwich which is the sundried tomato one with ciabatta bread and my faith in O Briens had been restored. That great tomato taste which imo opinion most probably oven baked rather than sundried but hey with pollution level nowadays I am not complaining. Kemudian the cheese that goes into this sandwich just mesh well la. It is sticky gooey but not creamy. Just as I like it . Also makan apple pie which is not so great tapi tak kesah la. So this whole post is about a sandwich.  No wonder I tombam.

Kamon Dila jangan malas. Last month sangatlah busy , selalu balik lewat. Fuh. Kenkadang kesian dengan anak. Takut die tak kenal mak pon ye jugak. Dah la bapak nye memang senantiasa tiada, ni mak pon selalu tadek sebab keje. Bulan lepas punye busy, balik rumah kul 9, makan, amik anak dari rumah akak, then tidurkan Ajis which usually die akan lena dalam 11.30 then sambung balik buat keje sampai kul 2 a.m.  Lagi2 Ajis dah start makan, lagi la lewat tidur as I will cook his food so besok my maid will just panaskan je. I don't want her to cook because I had tasted her cooking and it is sooo salty. And I don't trust her to listen to me (because she usually don't) also it is always best food being cooked by mom itself no matter how simple or terrible.  My waktu tidur nowadays is 3 a.m. I have no idea how time went by so fast. There were times I cried. Times I feel like I did not get enough support from my maid ( who is lazy as hell ), from my husband and yes I sometime...

Saw it finally after I was excited seeing the trailer masa I pregnant dulu. Kenapa I excited... sebab ade Jim Sturgess laa.  You should watch One Day, then read the book. The film is not all that, but the book... I don't know why, but there is something about British writers that I love. They don't pander. They get the story out, and still hit all the emotional notes. And One Day is a beautful story of friendship and love and life. It is predictable, but I love it nonetheless. Hoi baca je la One Day tu ok.  And whyyyyy. Kenapa melalut cerita pasal One Day, tapi tajuk Cloud Atlas. Melalut kejab sebab Jim Sturgess is wonderful. He is my new James McAvoy.  This film is around 3 hours. It took me 2 days as my free days is not as it is before. Heh. I heard that Cloud Atlas is a monster of a book. The story spans centuries, past , present and future. From 1849 to 2321. There are 6 stories in them. If not all, almost most of the actors have some roles in each st...

Ajis is now 6 months! Perut seksi Can guling2 at last! Boleh mengesot ke kiri kanan to see people around him. Makan dengan jayanye. I think he is ready for bubur and biscuits next, instead of all those purees. Can recognize people, tapi don't mind people picking him up. Peramah orangnye. Can say 'mamamamamama'. Try to ask him to add 'mi' to no avail. I am not a mama person Ajis! Macam ade gigi, tapi tak berjaya lagi tengok giginye. Die tepis our hand away, even when he is sleeping. The cats Kurang sikit selsemanye sesekor. Especially Kurap yang asyik bersin mengeluarkan hingus hijau. Few days back I forgot to buy their wet food. Usually twice a day I'll give them the wet food on top of kibbles a bit. So when none is left, I bagi cat treats. Tetiga ekor tu bolayan. Kurap datang sniffs and look at me with a disgusted look in her face. Rupa macam aku bagi taik ayam je gayanye. Poyo sangat kekucing aku ni. Work Hectic. Penat. Neverending. Tolong...

Tu la mainan busuk Kurap.  Sejak 2 menjak kena discourage tidur bilik ni die selalu miau2 depan pintu mintak masuk. Kenkadang kesian bagi la kejab. Sometimes she came bearing gift. Memula ingatkan die bawak mainan die naik untuk main. Tapi mesti letak masuk depan pintu. Bukak pintu je melulu masuk abaikan mainan terus. After dah banyak kali berlaku baru paham die bagi gift a.k.a rasuah la untuk masuk bilik. So she gave me this so she expects me to open the room for her. Sweet sangat montelism kurap ni. Kenkadang pagi2 I bangun the mainan ade depan pintu. And I found her sleeping kat tangga tepi bilik. Kesian. That usually means she had mewed and I tak dengar ler tu. Ini adalah antara sebab I berat hati nak ikut husband transfer. Kurap have to go with me too because I think she will be brokenhearted if left with somebody else.

Whatttt.. they are not impressed at the rates I am solving defects? Of course. Because they have around 4 5 people doing tests, while I am along responding inane emails, CRs, reading documents (which they dont read and expect me to answer all questing), while solving defects and replicating and taking screenshots. Pbthhh.. I hate people. I nak jadi housewife la gini!
