I'm Back..

for jenguk2 je!

Hahah.. Yes, here I am writing to you as promised. Once in awhile.

While writing this in a freezing cold office, also while listening to raya songs, my heart kept thudding with something...nostalgic. Hard to express it by words. My tears welling up. Pfft..what the hell? But of what, I don't know. Just heavy with emotions. I think the songs are poison.

This year, a lot of unexpected things happened within my family. A lot of sad stories, interlaced with happy news.

I am really happy that my parents are still alive to this day. The biggest situation was when my mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After my mum's stint in the hospital and up and down with fever, infections whatnot, I was really worried about her, and kept wondering, until when? Now, for the moment, I just want them to live as long as possible. Of course I can't control that, it's in the hand of the almighty. But nearing the Raya celebration, I can't help to wonder, what it feels like if I won't be able to celebrate it with them? You know, if they are gone too soon? Their faces and bodies have shrunken, like old people expected to be. My papa's hearing is really bad too. It seems not so long ago that they were a pair of chubby, healthy and lively people. My protective parents.The decline are too apparent this year. Ya Allah, dear merciful god, please please please shower them with good health and happiness. Shower us siblings with it too and give us never ending and heaps of rezeki so that we can take care of our parents properly.

FYI, me and Superman has passed the 1 month stay at our new rented condo. Coming to two months now, and last weekend I had my BV clan breaking their fast. It was lovely. I wrote an entry in my wordpress.com blog. I wish our next move will be our own house. Its tiring to pack and unpack. Cost us time and money too!

I can't believe I puasa just fine this year. Although sometimes, I felt like buying McDonalds and Starbucks in the middle of the day! Go Yam Go!!

So, how's your raya preparation? All done? Me? Only 1 pair of baju kurung bought. 2 tubs of biscuits given by my friends. That's it! Believe me?? :D

Till I write again in here, have fun reading my blabs in my other blog! Subscribe it will you?

Selamat berpuasa. Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin :)

This Hari Raya

Hi Darlings....

Found my friends sending Raya e-cards and zero real paper cards to me this year. Owh, you are very kind to environment but not to me..huk huk2! But its okay. The thoughts that matter. Thanks thanks!

Prior to the Hari Raya day which falls on 10.9.10, Friday, I would like to wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. Sorry if my words hurt you. Sorry for not being able to accomodate your feelings in my writings. Really if I ever hurt you physically, sorry. Sorry in every way. I'll do my best to be a better writer and person.

Drive safely. Eat a lot, and let us get fat together:) hhehe!

Kisah Kawan2 Tak Ingat Kawan...

You know what, my friendship is one most treasured thing in life.
Jika mahu berkawan dengan saya biarlah ikhlas.
Sebab saya mmg sayang sangat kawan2.

Although I understand that not all friendship are meant to last.

After graduating from colleges and universities, my school buddies became closer(thank you FB.er..friendster mcm dah sucks jek??) and when it comes Raya time, we organized visiting convoys..(nape cam tiap2 tahun org sama jek ehh, lain2 mana??). So of course all the old and new stories and gossips was talked about.

Some of pressing issues are;

1. Forgetful friends.
Okay, how bad is your brain at this age ..when a name of your batch mate was mentioned..and you could not recognize??

And, how bad it is when you saw someone but you can't recall the name but you remember the face??

How about...you cant recall the name AND the face alltogether?? And badly enough, that person remembers your name AND/OR your face???

Yes I admit I am really bad at remembering names. Seriously. But not the face. Unless you do a plastic surgery on your God given face. Public apology from me if I can't remember your beautiful names if we see each other next time. Close friends..you will not suffer from this ya.. I'm talking about..those who I really rarely meet and communicate.

One of my good friend, E, told me this sickening story of her best friend, F, during secondary school year. You know those friends who were always together in everything?? So, when they all went to different colleges each found a new life. But E always remember her and found her on FB. So she said hi and expected her to reply accordingly. Instead she asked 'Who are you?'. F is already living in Dubai and married her love who is also her classmate. Which of course E knows very well. And there were few bouts of reliving the memories of F about E. The thing is..F couldn't remember anything at all. And E got pissed off because she couldn't phatom the fact that F no longer remember her, at all! Surprisingly, E's image and physical is still the same as it was before. Except she now wears lipstick.

Its a sad story really. Its not even twenty years since we left school. If I were E, I'd delete her from my friend's list. You know what, its still okay if you don't remember the name..but, to not remember anything at all including your close friend's face is terrible. So people, reopen you yearbook. And try to remember the faces and hopefully the names.


2. Drastic changing of personalities/body/gf/bf/scandals/economic status???
Okay...this is another taboo but fun gossip story.
Like...
"You know what, X brought her scandal to the wedding party of A. But she was still courting his bf that we met last year!"

"I met D last week at TESCO. My god, he's fat! He was so GQ bod when we left our school aite??Whatever happened to him?Heart broken??!

etc.

and some even daringly said face to face like..
"Apesal ke gemok sangat oiii!!!!!Ko nak kawin ke tak ni??"..oh okay, this I got it myself. When I'm in a good mood..I wouldn't mind..I would have joke about it too. But what if I was having PMS or simply I was in a really bad mood. WTF kan?? You wouldn't want to mess around with me..trust me! btw...org gemuk takleh kawin ke?? It would b nicer and more matured by asking how your friends doing rather than ridicule her/him in front of others, rite???

ape lagi ek...

"Eh..ko tak keje tapi still duk mewah2..ko ade sugar daddy yek?yek??" WTF la..have you ever heard home based business..MLM..stock exchange...money trader...insurance agent..mutual funds...or lottery(oh yg ni haram untuk org islam yek!)?? You know what, just because a lady does not work in the office, doesn't mean they can't find money, legally and halal yek..sometimes, office ladies pon ade jugak sugar daddy kan..ooops, no pun intended.Oh btw..guys pon ade gak yg hidup sbb ade sugar mummy. So fair la..No gender is better than the other.

I think that's all about this issues that I can think about.

Be careful of wuteva you do, say and body language when you see your friends and relatives especially during this hari raya. What's the purpose you shaking your hands with them, XOXO and say maaf zahir batin but later on you makes them feels sad or angry , all in one occassion? Some people really take it to the heart.

A LOT of Stories....

1. I had a major blood pressure problem.
Not high bp
But low bp.
Its always like that. But last week, it was so bad, that makes me have fever and headache at the center of my head. No joke man..It was terrible. Took two days MCs.
The doc gave me some meds. One of it smells like cat's pee. Hancing!!! I think that's the best since I got better after two days of taking it. But seriously..I dread it with all my heart. YUCKS!!!

2.My florist made a visit to my house.
Yeah, the lovely 2 friends of mine, Ninie and Winnie finally made their way to my 'under construction' house last Friday night to get the vibe of the house and measurements of the stairs. On Thursday, I will join them to the flower supplier to pick the blooms on my own coz I am terribly fussy. Luckily they are my friends and layan je laaaahhhh!! hehehehe..

3.Have you ever heard of 'Lintasan'??
The event happened to my papa on Friday. He was getting ready for Friday prayers at nearby mosque, when suddenly, he felt so cold and his body was shaking right after even after switching off the fan and wrapped his body with thick blanket. He went to sleep and woke up about two hours later. My mom who saw him staring blankly to the space, panickly asking him whether he was okay. He didn't respond. And after awhile, he said, "Nak sembahyang Subuh". She frantically called my brother and they drove to our family clinic at Kajang, while he still stared blankly. My brother had to lugged him into the clinic. He didn't respond to my mom when she asked him to get down from the car. While waiting his turn, he vomited. Then only he realized where he was..he didn't remember at all everything that happened previously. The doc gave him a jab, and he went to sleep untill the next morning. He woke up so early, fit as fiddle and asked my mom what she wanted to eat. Eh??!

My mom said, it looks like he got 'lintasan', a situation when spirits a.k.a ghosts, became angry when we accidentally disturb their place. Eh??Is it?? Where did my dad went??Wasn't he just at home before the incident happen? Is my house ..a ghost house???huwaaaaa!!No Mariam, think positive!

4. My wedding gift containers has arrived!
It is cute! Won't reveal it yet. Clue:Traditional:)

5. I think I don't really mind to be a chubby bride, because my Superman is wayyyyyyy chubbier! AHAHAHAHA!
Frankly, everytime I feel like dieting there's always stumbling points:
-my back pain
-food laden parties
-my low bp sickness
-laziness
-moodswings
all requires me to eat this and that.

Therefore, I almost give up by now to be a slim, sleek, gorgeous bod bride.
Getting slim is very pressuring. What's more my with wedding is in
1 month and 2 days?!
The worriness will appear on my face. Its bad..really bad.
Now I need to be calm.

SO,
I'll be happy to be a chubby gorgeous bride.
(with curves)

Who says you can't be gorgeous when you are a tad fatter then what you used to be during your glamorous days??
or rather when you first met The One??

Right makeup..right hair..right dress..right accesories.
That's all you need.
Oh yes..also..
the right attitude and the right smile.:)

this is not a denial. this is the reality.





That's all for now people. I want to eat some chocolates.
My boss is on MC.
Yeay!

....

I've been suffering of a throbbing headache since Monday night until now..I can't even talk loud, sneeze or cough without feeling it getting much more intense. I don't know what caused it.
I took some med..but it doesn't go away. Oh Allah, please don't make it worse. But how worse can it be?? Is it just migraine or can it be tumor? God knows. I don't know. I hate to go to the clinic and all. And I' working. I realized I took quite alot of MCs lately due to my back pain checkups. So I gathered my strength. Praying that I won't collapse.

So today...I am in a really calm, non-talkative mode.

Oh my wedding prep is getting haywire.. the orders from Indonesia just arrive.. But we have to pay the custom tax. Damn. 30% from the value. There goes the unexpected cost. Mind you, the vendor posted it through their national courier service a.k.a Pos Laju like in Malaysia. Contrary to International courier service e.g UPS, DHL,etc which has custom tax included and they send the stuffs right to your door. No wonder the delivery service was cheap.. Darn! And you have to pick it up at LCCT yourself, or appoint Pos Malaysia as courier which adds up another RM49++.

My mom just called saying that the 600 cards I printed is not enough. Wut duh? 600=at least 1200 ppl. How many she's inviting...oh oh...I don't want to think.. She's paying. Up to her lahh.. I'll just reorder some.

I havn't picked up my dresses. I worry if I added up few more pounds recently.. But I think NOT kot..puhh puhhhh.....i'allahh.. I think I'll do it in one or two weeks later.

I can't wait 10.10.09.
There's a lists of events to be attended. 2 of my friends are getting hitched. My secondary school, SMKAMH, is having our first big reunion. I' having my first makeover. And there will be relatives open houses ..ALL IN ONE DAY!

okehh..I've got to buzz off...anxiety is not a good thing to my head right now. I need to be calm.

~Toodle doo~

Year 2009 Raya-Part 2

Its the 7th Day of Raya 2009.


Just came back from kampung at Malacca.
I'm still not satisfied.
Still lots of houses to visit.Still have not found the best Biskut Sarang Semut.
Still alot of wedding cards to be sent by hand to close relatives and friends.

I think...i mean I really think my perut is expanding.
On Monday I have personal trainer session at my gym. Must go. Who wants to follow?

I yearn to get creative again. This raya has inspired me alot. I met some cousins who's doing home business. Corporate gifts, biscuits, selling imported goods and such. And they were getting good money. Hearing the stories, burnt up my desire to have my own business. I think I need to plan fast. I think I need to stop kidding myself and face the reality. I need to move on. But I worry alot. Worry of the uncertainty. You know...the money factor. Is it wise to do it full time? On another hand, there's an issue of my future home and workplace locations. Oh Allah, give me the light. Some people said..I have the capability. Really? I need more convincing and of course more money. I still have bills to pay on my own when I get married you know??Should I or shouldn't I?? Another big decision to be made by the end of the year. May Allah bless me.

Hrmh..

oh yes.. I've bought the camera..the 505-D. After much consideration. Here's my review.

Pro
Nice body.
Lightweight.
Very user friendly.
Good performance at daylight especially.
Long battery power.

Con.
Bad at low light.(seriously bad)--> Needs editing.
Only uses 2 AAA battery.-->No charging.


Summary: Nice entry level camera.
*pictures will be updated later.

Year 2009 Raya-Part 1

This is my notes up to 2nd day 1230pm

Happy Eid Fitri again people. Rite now am still my parents house @ Kajang.

Few unexpected things happened.

1. We missed annual SALAM2 session.
Our house had visitors after Raya prayer. Until noon. And after my sister left for his husband's village at Kelantan, we went busy with my wedding card address writing. We only realized we missed the session when my Bro pointed it out on the way to Superman's house after Maghrib, the first house we visited.Hrmhh... If we do it on other days...it won't be the same.

2. We missed annual visit to Papa's brother's and uncle's house.
Usually after Salam2 session, we would get ready to start our visitations. And usually we visit Wak Man's house first. But well as I've mentioned..we only started visiting after Maghrib. Oh my... I felt incomplete.

3. I didn't eat as much as I wanted to.
Ha ha ha .....unacceptable ha..hahakkss! Well, that was what exactly happened. How ?? Because I wore the newly purchased girdle from Premium Beautiful(PB) from Hai-O. And it was tight but reasonably comfortable. God..it was the most expensive underwear I have ever bought. It better be good! I think it works, coz Superman noticed my streamlined tummy under that new baju kurung. haks. Usually, there's always noticeable bulge of my lower tummy. Hideous! especially when wearing fitting dresses.Yucks!
But I was thinking of getting the SPANX range too. Its cheaper and alternate to PB. Like I can get two SPANX for a price of one girdle from PB.But its not really for slimming down. More to getting a nice body shape. Oh yes...I'm still waiting the full set of my PB(the long bra and corset). Hopefully to get it in a few days. Time's running out before my big day. Its my last resolution after trying to exercise and controlling my food intake doesn't seem to be really successful.Darn..
Thanks Lady Verde's suggestion for the SPANX!

The Raya That I Missed

Back then, when I was a really small child, I was very very excited when it comes to Raya festival. Puasa??Not really. Except the bazar Ramadhan foods. It was everyday responsobility for me and Papa to buy cakes for iftar. All that was in my mind, Raya. Why??
Have these:
1. Ang pow a.k.a duit raya
2. Ayam goreng berempah
3. Mercun roket
4. Bunga api Thunder cats
5. Baju Raya(dulu2 mesti ada baju kurung+jeans+tshirts/shirts)
6. Kasut Raya

Those were my personal fav when it comes to Raya. Untill now.

When I grew bigger, somehow the Raya fever became lesser and lesser. I think it all started when I learnt to fast for a full month at the age of 8 years old. I remembered, I ended my fasting at school one day because I was so hungry, and my mom did not speak to me untill the next day. I was so sad and so scared. Alhamdulillah, my parents never thaught me puasa by giving me money for each day I managed to complete my puasa. However, my biggest surprise was when I received a watch from Papa as a present during 'salam2' session with family members.

I love-hate the salam2 session after Raya prayers in the morning.
Its our family ritual every year. What's yours?
Why love?? Because that is the time when I can see each other's 'innocent faces and felt closer to each other than any other time.

Why hate?? Because at that time, my parents allow ourselves to express our dissatisfaction or our views on what is wrong and what is right among ourselves especially about behaviors. And we were thaught to say it precisely, and to whom you are talking about, in a very civilized manner. Yep, usually the truth hurts. You can choose to accept or not. But no bickering. Just listen and analyse.

But its all for the better. We then strive to find solutions and to advise of the best way to change. After that salam2, asking for forgiveness and raya wishes, and hug each other. No pun intended. That's how my family does. To me its beautiful.

I think that is what makes me who I am today. Some people might say I'm a nagging girl or a big complainer. Some might even say my mind loves to see things in a negative way. Personally I think its about being brave enough to talk about uneasy things when most people would let it go or ignore it completely although its clearly wrong/impropriate. I believe, you can't change the world all by yourself, but you should voice out when you can and not be scared. But of course in a proper way. Oh damn..now I'm talking seriously pulak. Sorry if I bore you people.

Okay okay back to raya ramblings. Things that I missed.

I miss my kampung at Malacca like how it was.
When my Nenek was still alive. When the well opposite my Nenek's house was used by us, the little cucus to mandi in cold mornings. When there was a mad dog 'guarding' at the timber shop next to her house. And we stupid cucus love to go near him because he will bark non stop but he couldn't go anywhere because he was chained to a pole. Kesian dia. And my nenek will hambat us to go inside whenever we were still playing outside during Maghrib time. When all of my aunties have no problems to sleep in the big house together with each other families. And when everyone was around, we went to Medan Ikan Bakar at Umbai and sit in a long row of tables .And like-age cousins sit together and tackle one big fish just for ourselves. But it all changed when my Nenek passed away when I was in secondary school, our unity factor. Pretty sad really!

I miss the Raya time when I was viewed as a child.
Back then they did not expect of u more except to score As in your UPSR, PMR and SPM. And they love to give you big fat angpows. And sometimes, clothes. And they will ask you things because they really want to know about you. At least that was how I felt. As you grew bigger, they will start to ask more serious issues. And at this working age, some try to gauge how much your income, sometimes blatantly. Come on, its raya time laaa!! And of course you are the one being asked for angpow from tiny tots. hahaha.. the world goes around so fast. I think I havn't enjoyed enough getting angpows! But its a good way to add up your pahala and the joy of giving is unspeakable!

I miss 'Visiting' my school friends.
Visiting lah sangattt!! Actually we wanted to acquire the angpows from their parents! ahahaha. Siap compare okay...bapak siapa bagi banyak sekali.. kalau dapat syiling2 50sen tu mmg kene kutuk abis aaa..haks!

And last but not least...

I miss getting excited of Raya.
True. Takdelah tak excited langsung. Just that its in a different way. Ya..nowadays..comes celebration, comes planning. Comes the budget planning especially. See it gets complicated. Jeez..Now I know what it feels like being the one paying things. When we were younger all was taken care off by Papa and Mummy. Tunjuk je ape nak. Tak dapat, we sulked. Hahah...Kejam tul kat Papa and Mummy. Now, we siblings, have to fork out the preparation for parents house and for our own AND our own houses/families. hahahah. Responsibility bebehh.. I think most of you who's already a working adult would have understand this. Takpelah...just do it out of love not terpaksa. Tak baik beb. Tak berkat. Pahala pon cinonet. Entah2 tak dapat langsung! I think no matter what I do or give to them won't compensate completely all the LOVE and MONEY they spend on me while growing up. Thank you Papa and Mummy. Please live as long as I live. I still need your guidance and care forever.

to readers, be it friends or foe,,

Thank you so much for reading my ramblings.
However,
Heartiest Sorry.
Maaf Zahir dan Batin
atas segala keterkasaran bahasa,
sekiranya berlaku kegurisan hati dan kesedihan berpanjangan
dari apa yg telah saya katakan di dalam blog kesayangan saya ini.
Saya hanya manusia biasa yang kadang2 terlalu mengikut perasaan.
Minta maaf sekali lagi..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.

This year will be my last Aidil Fitri Celebration as a single girl.
May Allah bless it and becomes one of the best memories in my life.
Same goes to you.
Drive Carefully. Eat Healthy.
And try not to speak nonsense after you have already said Minta Maaf Zahir Batin.
heheheh.

XOXO,
YAM

Ngada2 mode

This morning...i'm back to my mengada2 mode to Superman.
He sulked for 3 days over some issues we spoke and refused to call me wutnot.
Huh..geram je aku...sekali...i think dia sendirik tak tahan..
hahahahaahha!!!

And he called me yesterday morning.

And at night a message came from him:
My last threat to you:
No cooking no camera raya!
(edited version)

Owh..hahahahahahha!
takde hal punye mau masak.
So its really true la...win your man's heart through his tummy.
I havn't cooked for him for ages. Not once during this Ramadhan.
We both was so busy, hardly meeting each other. And i got lazy to cook.
Everytime buka puasa together, we were eating outside and watched movies.

So...the summary of his sulking:
He wants attention. He wants me to feed him.

hahahahah
DARLING
You Are So
Cute??Sweet??Mengada??
Wuteva lah..
I LOVE YOU!

yeyeay! camera raya!

Baju Melayu??

Kenapa ek?Superman takmo new Baju Melayu for this raya??
Teruk tau kata nak pakai pink2 sama ngan i :(

Boleh terima ke alasan:
1)Baju raya tahun lepas boleh guna lagi, i pakai sekali je masa pagi raya tu.
2) Tahun ni i ada 3 baju Melayu baru nanti masa kahwin.


Bencik!
Ni raya tau!

Lain la!

I have 3 kurung for raya.
He has none.
Potong mood betul!

:(

Camera Love??

Its gonna be Raya. Its gonna be happening moments. And its gonna be my last raya as a single girl. Insya allah..

But I need a camera to capture the moments.
And my birthday camera Superman gave last year got problem.
The screen shattered during Azea's hen party. And never got replaced. The replacement cost 3/4 the price of the camera. Might as well get a new one aite???
The system is still okay. But I can't see anything on the screen.. So its gonna be like a manual camera zaman dolu2..

So...ermhhh I yearn for a camera WITH SCREEN. For this raya. But I've bought a camera for my hantaran and his which I can only get AFTER raya. How about the raya moments???Let it miss?? Huwaaaaaaa! Hrmhh...

But the camera can still be used.. Just that I hate the broken screen. And it will be a SPLURGE to get a camera now. But how about those cheap2 digital camera??

Or a Lomo??Like these babies:


Pink BBF, RM599.00.
But my hantaran camera is pink jugak.. tapi.......;p
And it comes with leather case+film holder. Stylish. Vintage(fuh2!puas dah puji ni)


AGFA 505-D, RM 400.00
Digital! Ade screen!Ada Zoom!5mp!Nice size!Free 2GB SD Card


Superheadz Nico Digi, RM 300.00
super cute, keychain size,
digital but no screen.

Don't know what is Lomo?
According to lomography.com,

The whole Lomographic phenomenon started in the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia on 1982. At that time, the USSR Minister of Defense and Industry and his comrade, the Director of the LOMO Russian Arms and Optical Factory, examined a Japanese camera with a sharp glass lens, extremely high light sensitivity and robust casing. Upon realizing the potential of this mini-camera, they gave immediate orders to copy and improve the design with the ultimate goal of producing the largest quantity possible for the pleasure and glory of the Soviet population. It was decided – every respectable Communist should have a LOMO KOMPAKT AUTOMAT of their own. With that, the LOMO LC-A was born!

Gimme some advice.
1)Should I splurge?
2)What camera should I splurge on??

Crazy Weekend+Painting Madness

1) Deco deco deco!
Last weekend, I devoted myself to my family house at Kajang. The renovation seems only 50% complete. And its gonna be Hari Raya celebration this Sunday. I'm worried and mummy was triple worried with the situation. We can't really clean up. Also moving stuffs back to its original place is still a big No No. The dust is almost everywhere. The most sane places in the house are the kitchen and my parents bedroom.

I felt lucky that I don't live there everyday like my other family members.

So to compensate and stop my mom nagging me everytime i came back home, I finally started painting this and that in my sis's room. Pity her. Her room has never receive a makeover since god knows when. I try to make it so much less clutter and more spacious. And I strived to have a fusion of cool, feminine and chic theme. Completely different from the old look. Oh, its not completed yet coz I took some hefty hours recovering my energy by sleeping midday. eheheheheh... I think the best thing is the wall deco. Wait till I upload the pics.You be the judge!

I wish some godsend designers decided to come to the house to take care of the task, for FREE. Really, It takes alot of time and energy!

2) Wedding prep updates.

53 Days left of my single hood days.

I try not to think so much of the emotional impact of a marriage to a person. It scares me. I still can't shake off the bad stories I heard.

I just pray hard that nothing bad will happen prior to the wedding as well as afterwards.

And me and Supeman can really workout being a legally married couple living under the same roof and understanding and accepting our differences with ease.

And I really2 hope my family and in laws will forever be supportive and tolerate our idiosyncracies whether intentionally or not.

I also hope that we as a person will live to be as our true self till the end.

I just pray hard, that this decision of marrying Superman is really a worthy and the best decision in my life.

Help me Allah, help me angels, help me friends and family to make me only think beautiful things so that there won't be extra wrinkles and acne appearing on my sensitive skin.

Pray for us that we are healthy and calm.

And please also pray that the money will come tumbling down from the sky or appeared under our pillows every morning.
(over laa pulakkk!hehehe) .

AAAAmminnnnnn.....! :)

anyways...here's the real update:

Huh??

1. Last night, I went to Bak Tailor at Wisma Yakin, Jalan TAR to pick up my Berinai dress and Raya dress. It was nice. But that's not the story. Its about two brothers who came to pick up their baju melayu at the tailor. They seem handsome enough to look at. Sort of elite caste based on their appearance. So, yesterday was the promised date from the tailor. When they tried up the dresses, they need some alterations. Here's the conversation:

Tailor(T): Bang, this alterations would be done within a week. I'm sorry its puasa month, busy month so we cannot make it earlier.
Big Brother(BB): What??No no..you have to make it ready by tomorrow.(dengan muka bengang)
T: Bang, betul bang, semua kene ikut queue. Kang kalau saya jump kang, customer lain pulak tak dapat ambil order diorg.Sorry sangat. Lagipon raya will be at the end of next week kan??Sempat...
BB: Mmg tak sempat.. FUCK YOU la...ko jangan main2 dengan aku! Aku nak guna 9hb ni.
Assistant Tailor(AT): Sabar bang...sabar...
BB: Ape sabar2?Ape punya service lah!

and then there's another guy customer(GC) joined in the commotion.. But mmg bijak lah ayat dia-->

GC: You nak pergi mana nak kene cepat?? Nak pergi German ke???(Ape kaitan German tah?)
BB: Tak..saya nak pergi Mekah lusa.
GC:Mekah?Ha..elok la tu perangai nak pegi Mekah macam ni. Bulan Ramadhan ni kene banyak bersabar bang.
BB: His mouth went agape..cheeks flushing red..and stomping out of the shop while everyone was watching, scrutinizing his every move. And the not so lil bro tagged along behind him.

Gila kan?...I was thinking, why is it hard for him to reason out. The tailor then said to me..."La mana la kita tahu dia nk guna 9hb, hari tu masa tempah tak cakap pon., just bagitahu nak ambik time puasa. Tak penah la jumpa customer macam tu punya kurang ajar. Dah ni...dia kuar tadi tak bayar pon lagi..I nak call dia pon takda hati. Sakit hati je...." Pity her.

2. I reserved a bag, at Kate Spade last weekend, the same day I went to Bimba & Lola sale at the Garden Midvalley. At that time I was contemplating whether to buy it or not. Its for my hantaran. I fell in love with the fuchsia pink AND the big bow.

the pretty Beauville Gabi. kate spade

But then, on last Sunday, the SA called me up. I taught she just want to remind me about the reservation as it lasts for a week. Whereas, I'm still contemplating. But she told me, that they just got a memo that the lining of the bag was made of pigskin. And I was so relieved that I didn't buy there and then. Its just not meant for me. Come to think of it, I fell in love with pigskin merchandise twice on the same day!!!!! Hell! Teruk aaa diorg ni!!!Bakper la mu jual hok kulit babi tu kat Malaysia negare Islam nehhhhhhhhhh???????Persatuan Pengguna Islam, pls fight for it!

Do you know anywhere else I can get something2 like this??Minus the pigskin.hhuhhuhu!

Hrmhhh...

I'm not feeling good. I mean I'm well just that few things are giving me headache and heartache.
Some people are really good at taking away happiness off people.
Almost all the things are viewed negatively by them.
They are called
Leeches.
Why do they exist?
I think without them there won't be sadness after happiness.
And no headache and heartache for me today.



On happy note:
Went fitting for my baju raya yesterday.
But they need alterations at the sides. All of them.
I lost few inches. Yeah. No kidding.
Funnily enough, i ate more cupcakes lately. And I didn't go to gym.
Demi Allah, I never take any slimming pills!
Yeay! Alhamdulillahhh!
Berkat Ramadhan kot??





Note to Leeches,
do you want to take away this happiness too with your
heartless words??
Damn you Leeches!

Indonesian Trip Reminder

Indonesian Trip!

Bapak2...Ibuk2...
Am going to Jakarta-Bandung between 14th-18th August 2009. During my 5D4N stay there, its gonna be a helluva of shopping madness. Yes, of course, mainly about my wedding. Am going to hit the fabrics, tailors, cards, gifts, food stores and of course..ermhh...hahahha... hehehhe...OTHER stores lah...ala...u know...side shopping....:))
So, if anyone, you, or your family, sedaras, friends, boss, company, etc needs sth from there, do buzz me.

Perhaps,
stuffs for Raya, weddings, gifts for Ramadhan & Raya, kain batik jawa, traditional foods, telekungs, house deco, etc.
I will charge just a little portion to cover the transportation+logistic.

Kalau ada, pls let me know ASAP before my departure date and explain to me about your
budget, ideas, colours, options etc in detail
(yg plg penting your budget).

I will bring my lappie to update on my findings while I'm there. So u can still keep in touch with me over the net.

Ingat ya kawan2...
