Hey peeps,
How's your weekend so far? Tonnes of fun or lazying around:couch potato? Whatever you do keep it up coz you will never know if you ever gonna do that in the next weekends.
Oh what in the world am I blabbing about?! Mariam, stop talking rubbish!
Actually I'm this melancholic feeling. This week has been quite a drama.
1) Last week's Friday I received a call from my brother saying that my40 years old eldest sister is getting married. As shocked as I was, I felt happy for her. It was apparently an arranged marriage. She was finally solemnized, witnessed by closed family members, on Thursday, 16th June. I have a mixed feeling about this. Being a practically independent girl, with my personal stance, I would want my sister to marry out of love. But I won't tell you about the whole drama surrounding this marriage. As a little sister, I want nothing but the best for her. Knowing her personally, I believe my parents wish is somewhat the best given her circumstances. With Allah's grace, I pray that she will one day find the LOVE in the marriage and able to feel like what I feel.
I also believe his husband, whose a native Chinese from China AND an Imam, will be able to take care of her and be a loving and patient partner. Amin.
2) Today will be my last Saturday sleeping in my current condo-Greenview Condominium. As mentioned in previous post, we found a new place. Next Saturday will be the moving out day. I am excited but at the same time, sad to leave this beautiful place. In this house, we celebrated our first anniversary. In this house, my Superman, hit the big 30. In this house, we had our ups and downs, happy moments and fights too. I love the pool, in fact, that's the biggest plus point when I decided to coax Superman to rent this place. But it's okay.
I guess, the next pool is somewhat nicer too. A bit more urban feeling compared to the resort feel here.
Besides all this, I was thinking of...hrmmhh...of....err...no..i don't have anything else to think about. Haha!
These days, I strive not to clutter my mind. One thing at a time. I know, we should be multitasking. But I just want to do the multitasking thing only in working environment. Even so, I tried to lessen it. I found that by compartmentalizing things, I am able to focus better. Get what I mean? Prioritizing as well. I used to want to do everything at one go. And I felt out of breath every time.
I get jealous with friends already buying a property. Or already looking into property buying. I can't wait for that to happen. We are not ready to settle down somewhere and at the same time our tastes are somewhat higher than we can afford. Till then..rental lah dulu!
This afternoon we went to Kota Kemuning to meet MIL and BIL family. Passed our house, I mean the house we had to sell since the location is too far from our workplace. A bit of regret. The house is really nice. And we won't be able to get the same kind of house with the same value, unless we want to move to Nilai. Please...no way! Now we have to save again(really2 struggling to save! Jeez!) for the down payment money. What a feat to go through. Arghhh!

Time Kills Me
Today, I made a vow to become a housewife, for at least half of Sunday. Last night my MIL and SIL came and they left with Superman before lunch. I promised myself to finish folding the washed clothes. A BIG mountain of them. The worst of household chores for me which I always delay until end of the week. In one hour, I finished everything!
I waited and waited watching the TV,Tweeted,FB-ing. God, the clock ticked real slow!! Proven, I can't leave my fast phase, nerve-wrecking life. The feeling of waiting is worse.
On another story, my boss announced on Friday that he's leaving the project, and going for semi-retirement by end of the year. I was feeling shitty. Really shitty. The prospect of working with the future boss is really downing. I am not quite sure how I would handle him and even myself then. This is the first time I am having boss-changing experience, within the same post. Its not even a year. What's worst, he is the best boss to me personally, and to all those on the project team. I believed that I was in a really good track. I could actually see my short term future there. With this, I am not sure. Having a bad boss is worst than having a bad job, based on my own experience. However, I am trying to think and FEEL positive about this. Maybe he's not as bad as what was gossiped.
XXXXXXX
Superman just called, he fell from his bike. Gotta fetch him at his office. Brake faulty it seemed. Oh no!

Shopaholic Ain't Changing Yeah!
It's a lovely Saturday morning. I have acquired myself a new COACH bag without leaving the home and my pyjama. All thanks to Yashma!(oi..aku hampir makan megi oiii!). I decided not to visit her page anymore until my no-shopping mode is intact. Oh my god! Next month the sale will be much more crazier due to Christmas. Its time for skincare and makeup shopping. This is the time where all those special pallettes comes in. And..my stock's finishing. Good enough reason to splurge NECESSARILY!
Superman's watching his favourite movie-P.Ramlee's "Di Belakang Tabir". I kindof like this movie. The era is very cool. That's when the retro elements made the appearance. And man...they have A&W with dance floor! Superman's an avid fan of P.Ramlee, whereas I had never watch any of his movies from start to end. Does this make me a bad Malaysian? Ha ha.
I am scratching my head on how to save more for the March trip. Girls only 1-week-adventure at a very foreign land. It's suppose to be an inexpensive trip. But being the Shopaholic I am, I need to have the extras. You know, just in case :) Since Superman's not joining, I am just scared to ask him to pitch in a little bit. Seems unfair too..But........darling..ehhehehe!:) Love you no matter what. Really:)
The sun's rising but I haven't stared the laundry. Gotta go y'all!
Housewife Mode : ON!

Flashback of Childhood
Sekamat gang rocks!
Yeah, had iftar session at home yesterday with my primary school friends. Lisha+fiance, Ainul+hubby,Erma, Liana and my dear Superman was seen "srottt srottt" their heart out eating the 'siput sedut', cooked by Ainul, ehh? Really?? Muahahhaha! Ina came earliest to cook vege dishes while I prep my FIRST ikan bakar+air asam+sambal belacan using recipes found on Google!I smelled belacan eau de toilette. Superman said its the best perfume ever! Wowwww!!So after thousand minutes, Ainul+hubby and Erma made their grand entrance with the great siput sedut masak lemak and Lisha+fiance was fashionably late. Luckily she managed to mix her Ribena fruit punch on time.Bravo bravo!
The best moments was the kacau-kutuk-cam whoring session while our man watched movies. It was like the old time. And all the 'lawak zaman sekolah' flew accross the room. Now my hubby knew I am "susu girl" all the way! Damn!Hahahah.What? you don't understand what its all about?Fret not. That's why it was called 'lawak zaman sekolah!" :)
We are all grown ups now. Single, engaged, married, studied, worked. We went to seperate paths. We have different life stories, struggles and achievments. But being with each other, those things doesn't really matter. Instead, it brought out the little child in us. I'm so happy and flattered that they enjoyed the little gathering at my home. Girls, lets swim together anytime! Hey, meh la duk kat condo aku! Ade lagi unit kosong sebelah rumah aku nii.... :D

What Did You Missed About Me ...recently?
Do you miss me??
I do..
I mean those times when I was freaking full of ideas and couldn't wait to write and tell all the world. I don't know myself these days. I stare and stare at the screen to write something really exciting. Guess what, I lied that I completely absorbed with my work. There are some good 10 minutes or so sometimes that I really2 wanted to write something, but not even a word moved my finger.Frustrated. I went reading other people blogs instead.
So whatever happened to me?Okay, just the important ones:)
First of all, I had my most anticipated day in June. Yeah people, my belated birthday and housewarming party which happened on 26.6.2010. Although my body was strained at the end of the day, running like mad woman, making sure everything from food to deco was in order, I couldn't have asked more. It was perfect to us although it has some imperfections. Like, I forgot to pump up the baloons(actually I misplaced them and couldn't find it at all, untill after I cleared up the house!). And almost everything except the deco was not done from my home. Lucky me, my mom could cook to cater for that day. I woke up early that day, just to buy flowers at Pasar Kajang. The theme was Orange+Yellow. After I brought them home, I realized, I don't even have a vase to put them in! So they ended up in a pail. What a waste!And Wiz managed to bake the cakes and muffettes on time, of which I had to pick it up myself since she was terribly busy with her other orders and Superman had to stay at the house to receive the guests(What???!! I had to pickup my own birthday cake???!Darn!Superman, next year I ain't going to slave myself for the cake again!:( ) This year, I planned my own party, to celebrate my eldest sister,SIL and nephew birthdays as well as the housewarming party. It seemed perfect! The mixture of our friends and family seemed like a tiny wedding to me.
My humble set up, due to the lack of baloons!
Crazily nice cakes!
Birthday boy+girls
My oldest friend. Since kindie!!Now she has a lil daughter, Ms Aina.
But, the parents seems more kiddie than their own kid eh??
The party pack
Just some of the flowers that I managed to squeeze in a lil bottle.Nice?
On Thursday the next week, I had to attend PAC, the final stage before the government decides whether you are fit to be working with them or not. Everybody was telling me to go. First of all, its a hard chance to come by. And if, only if, I succeed, I'll become one of the most highly respected government servant.With all the perks its a waste not to grab. Guess what, I couldn't make myself go!
And on last Friday, i planned a surprise birthday party for my dear boss. Complete with a big birthday cake made by Wiz! Everybody seemed like enjoying to the max with the food, candies and deco. It was a very hush hush thing. Imagine, about 100 of us, we were all crammed up in the 'huge' meeting room, in dark, while waiting for the Boss to enter. I was waiting outside. When he arrived I said something like "Boss, I need something from you. Lets discuss inside here" while I pushed open the door. And he saw his banner, and he said "Shits!" And, in a split second, his face was filled with bubble spray! What a relieved when it was all done. Again, I was lucky that mommy could cater on that day and I had some of my colleagues to help out.
I learned from all the parties that I have planned, its all about timing and budgeting. And always always have plan B. I wonder whether I should venture into party planning business shall the day came when I no longer enjoy office works. This adds up to my list : makeup, hantaran deco, baking, wall arts. What's next?
I guess that's all folks. I am still in office. I want to go back. There's still few work stuffs stacked up on the table. But I don't care. Today, I am bloody tired. Yesterday, I stayed up until 9pm, having Dominos pizza dinner at my cubicle while my eyes was on the screen and one hand typing(oops, kantoi I ate with my left hand!erk!)
So adios! Merci!

Suddenly Monday..Owh!!
My weekend flew by without me noticing. We were very busy, day and night, helping out Superman's BIL's wedding. The most anticipated event of the year AND it was filled with lots of interesting stories. A mix of emotions super packed! It made me remember my own November wedding. It brought me cry happy and sad tears all the way. I guess, it might be so wrong if all that you experience is just easiness and happiness prior your big day. All this ups and downs are what make you remember it forever. All that we should do is to try manage it as proper as possible. To all my future bride friends and readers, perfection is not everything as what seems perfect to you might not be perfect to others. But, traditions and protocols must always be your top priority. I don't know about you, but to me, a wedding without a proper guidance in these areas are best done within just your immediate family and friends. Although a marriage starts with you and your partner, its everyone involved in the process are what makes a wedding, a wedding. Just my two cents. And last but not least...SMILE!:)
At this moment, my mind is picturing myself swimming in the pool. My body needs a rest badly. I miss my FB. Owh..the momentary brain shut from work matters, or rather the whole day! is super nice at this moment. Once upon a time, I was on FB the whole day at work. By the time the clock hits 2pm, I wished I could go shopping! These days, I don't need shopping in the middle of the day anymore. Just FB will be enough. Ha ha!

I Wish I Can Eat Cupcake Underwater
Since I had my first cupcake, it became a public love affair. No day I would say no to cupcake.
And last Friday I finally had my first taste of Wiz's cupcake.
Terribly delicious!I'm officially an addict!
On Saturday, I had early morning call. Its the day! Dressed in shorts and shirts, we sweat ourselves out, rearranging stuffs and all sorts of other things. The movers was kind enough to tolerate our orders from morning till late afternoon. We made two trips from Wangsa Maju-Sg Long-Setiawangsa-Sg Long since we had so many things to pick up! I slept like a baby and hate to wake up the next morning.
But, we still have tonnes of tasks to be completed. We had to do it ASAP since we have to get our place live in ready by Thursday.We are receiving our first sleepover guests! After mopping and cleaning all the kitchenwares my legs and back felt really strained. I went to the living room only to see there's a MOUNTAIN of boxes to be unpacked. Oh hell! Monday is a work day already, how can we finish them perfectly on time?? The next thing I know, the sun was already making its way to shine in the other part of the world.
I promised my dear friend Azea, to pick up her kitten for adoption by 8pm. I was pretty excited. Spent a good RM100 to buy his cage, milk, cat biscuit and sand(thinking that I only managed to buy an RM80 shoe this month:( ). To cut the story short, I arrived home, with the lil kitten(just 1 month old). I named him Kontawt(acronym of Shorty) due to his very short tail. He's all black, I could only see his eyes piercing from inside the dark cage. My heart fluttered with excitement and wary. He's so scared sitting alone without his mom and siblings, meowing at the top of his lungs! My sister who could see me and hear the deafening voice from inside the house was already contorting her face. The moment I opened the sliding door, she said "You better leave it outside!." I could sense a rejection. That follows with, "This house kan with baby...bla bla..flu, allergy, noisy,..bla bla bla...cannot eat on his own..so small...bla bla bla...who's going to feed him when you are at office?Who's going to clean his poop and urine?Send him back until he's bigger and stronger and not screaming!". My heart broke to trillion pieces.
I have to say, what she said makes sense. I thought after all the years with cats in the house, a new cat would be great after Oren left. I could feel the emptiness, a void without this fury pet animal. But the fact that he's too young and easily agitated didn't jive pleasantly. Mommy said, to adopt, it must be at least 3 or 4 months old. He still needs his mom's milk. Or else, he'll get sick easily like getting diarrhea caused by the powdered milk. I am at wits end. I want the cat so much! However, I hate to trouble my family, as well as Azea who's been taking care of him for the last month. And how can everyone sleep peacefully with him meowing non-stop? Kontawt didn't even want to drink from the container. I had to syringe fed him this morning. That makes me more convinced that he can't take care of himself yet. Oh Kontawt!!!!!!

Tomorrow is THE DAY
Finally , tomorrow will be the day we are transferring all the big things from the store at Superman's office, into my new condo.I miss our TV, our washing machine, our stove, our cabinets. I just miss all of them. And we are getting a few more extras from Superman's mom. Few closets, a king bed and a queen mattress. Lucky us.
Although I can't wait for the stuffs to arrive, I just hate the thought of unpacking and rearranging. I wish I am Carrie Bradshaw, rich enough to hire helpers to arrange everything from the furnitures to the napkins. Yeah, I wish. One more thing that I wish is a walk-in wardrobe with cleverly chic design. But then, to spend so much for a rented condo, seems petty. But who knows, if Superman will be lovely enough to create my "castle"? Will he? I will drop on my knees and kiss him 100 times daily for the whole week if he ever do that! Ha ha ha!

BRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
My office is super cold. I should have worn snow jacket with fur trimmings on the hood! Even the mat sallehs are wearing jackets. Lol!
Just want to blab about my eventful weekend.
I missed two of my friends weddings :( ,but I got myself a place to call home. Hehe. Yes, the agreement was sealed. Only then I realized, there's only two units, including mine, which is occupied. 8 units on each floor. We checked that the units above, in front, side and below of ours(corner unit) are not occupied. This place is really quite new. Bloody hell. Spooky! Superman, was smiling when we learnt about it. He knew that I'm scared of..you know, arghh...don't want to say it out loud. I have a very high level of imagination. Sure as hell I don't want to sleep there all on my own over night. I'll drive to mum's place, which is 10 minutes away. You bet!
Shopping with no money was really stressful. My salary was still not banked in during the weekend. But we had to buy few stuffs before we move in such as the curtains. Armed with the meagre leftover and credit card, we went shopping for them. Damn, the pretty ones are really expensive. And my heart was pumping with wants and frustrations. Luckily I got Superman to set me straight to shop with practicality comes as number one. Besides, this is just for the purpose of renting. Therefore, expect something lesser in quality but rich in style:) oh ya ya ya...(trying to soften my heart).
Big congrats to Mrs Daniah & Mr Badrul for finally made it to the altar. May Allah bless both of you with health, happiness, wealth and lots lof babies together:)

Penang...Land of Stories...My Stories...
The first time I was living on my own, was in Penang. It was in 2001, fresh out of school. I received offer to continue my study in Penang Matriculation College in Kepala Batas. I hated the study part. But I love every minute of the freedom I got. That was when I had a really special adventures with my mates. Some still in good contact to this day including my ex-bridesmaid, Hannah and my ex-room mate, She @ Kambing, and my ex-housemate, Azea, as well as few others. And that's where I met my first ex-boyfriend. A total opposite of me. I don't know how or what makes me attracted to him. Maybe, the hormone was doing its 'thang'. haha! We spent alot of time cruising the Penang Island. Jetty rides. Bukit Mertajam. Komtar. It was all our craze. I even sneaked out of the college, early in the morning, to go to Sg Petani, to buy him a perfume for his birthday..or was it Valentine? I don't remember. Me and my room mates was chased by the guard up to the nearby Kampung when we sneaked out in broad daylight to go to Bukit Mertajam to celebrate one of our birthday at Pizza Hut. It was just a reason to go out. She was left behind when the bus that me and Farzy took, drove away before she even reach its back. But being so united, we waited for her to arrive at the bus station. Those were crazy days.
And I made few clubbing night getaway in Penang, when I was studying in UUM, Kedah. We were so deprived of city scene and entertainment, that we drove all the way to the island. Thinking how energetic I was, made me want to get back to my old shape. While writing this down, I glanced through the Prevention website on how to tone up and lose weight. I'm at least 15 kg heavier since I left university. Sedentary lifestyle and easy access to fancy food is really not a good thing!
Last weekend, I went back to this special island for honeymoon getaway with my loving husband, Mr Superman. His kampung is in Penang too. So we were not so excited to go to the tourist attractions. We chose to spend more time in the hotel itself. Enjoying each other company so much. The weather was really good. Superman had a blast watching bikini clad girls. Whereas I could only see awesome beach boys swimming in the pool in front of our room, on the last hours before we checked out. Damn. Where have they been all the while I was there?! Darlings, I am not going to bore you more n more with words. I'll upload the pictures later ya. By the way, the money we paid for the Honeymoon Package at the Hard Rock Hotel in Feringhi, worth every single cent. The hospitality was above par. Its a 4 star hotel serving like a 5-star.

Why is the Clock NOT ticking??
At least that's how I feel. Its 11.36p.m. Just finish packing up my stuffs for our Penang getaway. Super excited. Got myself a brand new goggle for the trip although my old one is perfectly fine. I just don't know why. I think I should have grab a new sunnies or hat instead. In my dreams since I just blew away my tiny budget. Was thinking of carelessly shopping beach dresses at the Ferringhi.
But then, I'm not going there so soon. Superman's going to drive up there first on Wednesday, early morning. I'm not going to see him until Thursday at Penang airport since he will start his journey there from his mom's home in KL.Starting to miss him already. Full of anticipation!
Annoyingly though, my boss haven't sign my UNPAID LEAVE form I submitted 2 weeks ago for this holidays. I don't care. I'm going anyway as she won't pay my leaves regardless if it is sick leave. Still weighing my options to complete my 3 days next week. My heart's completely thrown out of the office. Now, I regret why I was so baik hati to come back to the office after I got my last pay. I worry that she won't pay me for this month if I don't come back to the office again later. Its going to be a wasteful journey then. And I will have major problem to pay up my bills at the end of the month should she decided to get back at me. So, should I continue being baik hati or take the plunge??

Will I DO It Again??
Yesterday's Saturday is one of my worst Saturday in life. I had to go through long hours of exam papers for the sake of a PTD position in the government. I didn't know whether the questions were actually hard or for the fact I didn't study for it makes it hard. But I think I did pretty well. But well, I wouldn't put on ANY hope for it. Thousands of other Malaysians was having it too. Scattered all over Malaysia.
Overheard a conversation between few girls outside of the hall after the 2nd paper(Maths).
Girl 1: It was hard, wasn't it?The maths sucks. I didn't have enough time to answer all! (phew...not only me then?)
Girl 2: Yeah, last time it was harder!Even the first paper makes me cringe. Hehe...Been through few times...This time is easiest. (Really????!!)
Girl 1: Is it???? Oh my. How many times have you tried this paper??
Girl 2: This is my 3rd. (Huh??I felt like giving up already!)
My brain was over fried by the time I finished it at 4:20pm. But it was fine when I saw Superman downstairs waiting for me. Ha ha..
So...will I do it again?? NO.

Exam Fever!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I have SPA(Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam) exam tomorrow morning. How laaa??? I haven't prepared anything out of laziness and not interested in it at all. I applied before I got my new job. Out of desperation and my family and hubby was so gung ho about working in government agencies. Its all because of the stability and benefits it offers. I am going , just so I won't get blacklisted in the future, just in case I suddenly feels like working with the government.
Tomorrow, I have few other things to attend. Promised Hannah to accompany her to buy some fabrics at Jalan Tar. And me, Superman and her are going to the tailor. The next thing will be my friend's birthday at Red Box Pavilion. 80's themed party. Aiyaaa..what should I wear???I think I don't have anything appropriate in my wardrobe. Reason to shop? But ain't got no money! Must buy present also!
Let today be a nice short day. :)

My Boss Must Be Mad!
Well, I've got a list of stories. Let me start on last weekend.
1. 2nd Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010
My company opened up two booths at the event. Well, I don't want to talk anything about my company and its products. I just want to talk what I felt. And yeah, share some lovely pics with you.
It's the first time I saw real hot air balloons right in front of my eyes. didn't go for a ride although the tickets was undoubtedly cheap. RM10 for adult! Well I'm scared of heights.Ha ha.. It was a bloody hot days. I was really pissed that I had to go there and my boss expected me be there, just in case anything happened. WTF? My colleague and I cleverly took turns without actually being there. You must be wondering what the hell I am talking about. Go figure.
The highlight of the event was on Saturday night. I brought along my brother and Papa so that I won't feel bored. I'm supposed to wait until the event finishes. Yeah I did. But this time, I didn't cursed. I was actually enjoying it. Like a kid with a brand new toy! We were busy taking pictures of the lighting show and fireworks display. After that, we went to the food stalls to burgers and drinks. Damn, they sold hot dogs at RM4.50!
2. New Job, New Happiness?
Perhaps...Well, we wouldn't know if something is for you or not until you are into it right?
So I went for 2nd interview with and O&G company in the Mines. At this point I was quite excited, but didn't want to hope too much as there's another candidate they are interviewing. I was quite apprehensive to join the company as I was told the pay is somewhat lower than my current earning. But since is so much nearer to my home, I would like to consider. It so happened, my resume was pushed to the Project Director instead. One rank higher. Last time I was interviewed to serve the Finance Director. Yeay! And the boss is a nice guy!! An Indian Indian. First time to get an expat boss. Yeay yeay yeayyyy!!!
And on Monday morning, after a tense conversation with my boss on the phone, I got a call from the Company! They offered me the job! And later in the afternoon, the HR officer called again, telling me that they are retaining my current salary plus an allowance for parking. Alhamdulillah!!! Straight away, I wrote my resignation letter and submit to my office. What a relieve. But I think my boss will freak out! Just wait until she comes to the office. Oh oh...Brrrrrrrrrr......
Until then...cheers!
1. 2nd Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010
My company opened up two booths at the event. Well, I don't want to talk anything about my company and its products. I just want to talk what I felt. And yeah, share some lovely pics with you.
It's the first time I saw real hot air balloons right in front of my eyes. didn't go for a ride although the tickets was undoubtedly cheap. RM10 for adult! Well I'm scared of heights.Ha ha.. It was a bloody hot days. I was really pissed that I had to go there and my boss expected me be there, just in case anything happened. WTF? My colleague and I cleverly took turns without actually being there. You must be wondering what the hell I am talking about. Go figure.
The highlight of the event was on Saturday night. I brought along my brother and Papa so that I won't feel bored. I'm supposed to wait until the event finishes. Yeah I did. But this time, I didn't cursed. I was actually enjoying it. Like a kid with a brand new toy! We were busy taking pictures of the lighting show and fireworks display. After that, we went to the food stalls to burgers and drinks. Damn, they sold hot dogs at RM4.50!
Happy Kid with New Found Toy
2. New Job, New Happiness?
Perhaps...Well, we wouldn't know if something is for you or not until you are into it right?
So I went for 2nd interview with and O&G company in the Mines. At this point I was quite excited, but didn't want to hope too much as there's another candidate they are interviewing. I was quite apprehensive to join the company as I was told the pay is somewhat lower than my current earning. But since is so much nearer to my home, I would like to consider. It so happened, my resume was pushed to the Project Director instead. One rank higher. Last time I was interviewed to serve the Finance Director. Yeay! And the boss is a nice guy!! An Indian Indian. First time to get an expat boss. Yeay yeay yeayyyy!!!

No OREN...Hate the freakin' hot sun!
Last night marked the 7th day of OREN missing from my family home.
I am forced to accept the harsh fact that he died.
I don't think anybody would kidnap him, based on his frail, skeletal body.
However, I haven't cried yet. I think subconciously, I am prepared for this. Or rather, Oren prepared me for his departure. I can't think of having a new cat just yet. His presence is still very strong. Silently, I kept on thinking about him. Every single nook in my house has a story about him. Where he slept. Where he hide himself. Where he prefered to drink. Where he was chilling out. I can see him everywhere.
Oren has a girlfriend. She's our neighbor's cat. Her name is Mickey. I think she misses him too. We found her calling him with her own kind of meowing especially in the morning. Surprisingly, Mickey is not that loud mouth. Normally, its hard for us to hear her voice. So this was the first time it happened. When Oren was around, she was always inside our house. My mom was really pissed coz we had to feed her as well using Oren's food. Technically she has her owner. But since she's always here, it so kesian pulak.Lately, she is rarely around. And the cat food is hardly touched. Hrmhh...blessing in disguise?
OREN I MISSED YOU. I REGRET FOR NOT HUGGING YOU THAT LAST NIGHT YOU WERE AROUND. I WAS SO SLEEPY AT THAT TIME. I THOUGHT I CAN HUG YOU THE NEXT DAY AND GIVE YOU A RIDE IN MY CAR.OH OREN, I MISS YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!
Since Thursday, I was at Putrajaya for the Hot Air Baloon Festival. It was burning hot in the morning till about 4pm. Imagine sitting there the whole day just to monitor things without actually doing anything.Ergh...

Hang Tuah and Superman?
Recently, we tried to find a memorable and cost effective way to spend our weekends together. And being a planner as part of my job, I hate to be the planner again on the weekends. Well, I always love men who can take charge. Somewhat sexy. Ha ha.
So, my dear Superman cracked his head of where to go. Most of the time we usually spent time at the malls. Now that money is scarce, it ain't so much fun anymore. Guess where we went ;
MUSEUMS!!!!
Darling...I've got to announce, you surprise me again!! At first I thought it was a very kiddie or touristy idea. But then when he told me he never went to any museums as part of growing up, my nurturing side had to agree. OMG, so so kesian woh!!! So off we went to a very educational visit, not once, but twice already in less than 2 weeks!!. Its so funny looking at him so eager and absorbed with what he saw. He is really a patriotic guy. I guess being a police son contributed to his high level of patriotism. Tabikkkk hormat!
First Museum : National Museum of Malaysia, KL
Date of visit: Saturday, 20th February 2010
My precious key chain from the museum merchandise store.
Cute meow!!
Second Museum : National Military Museum, Port Dickson
Date of visit: Saturday, 27th February 2010
Vintage clothing ladies!!
Our plane's waiting!
p/s : Wah ! I was so 'baik' visiting the museum in baju kurung under the freaking hot sun!!
But, sadly, when I asked whether he would visit arts museum, the answer was NO!
Typical guys.always wants action eh?! Don't you know arts is not boring? I think art galleries are somewhat boring especially when you don't even understand what's the painting or the installations are all about. What do you think people??

Pretty Saturday
1. 2 friends got engaged at the same day, almost at the same time in the same state of Malacca. Luckily we managed to arrive just at the right time; before the engagements discussion starts and stayed until photography time. Phew!!! It was a bloody hot day!
Congrats to Cik Daniah & En Bad!
and
Congrats to Cik Diana & En Fendi!
Let me call u CIK as much as possible before your eligibility expired ya!!ehhe..
And we da posers as always :D
2. So I was determined to have a fulfilling day afterwards. But the hot day fried our brains. We could not think where to go next except going back home. But then, on the way back, I saw the exit signage to Port Dickson. Superman was sleeping+snoring. I made the turn. The sound of Touch n Go beeps woke him up. Ha ha...he thought we've already at Kajang exit. It was totally unplanned. I only brought one undies and a t-shirt each. He was totally clueless and surprised. See where we went.

Its Monday, Let It Be A Longggggggg Day!
Precious day it is. Public holiday on Monday. No plans. No rush. Just finishing up my laundry. 3 loads! Shameful. Has yet to become full blown Bree Van de Kamp. I don't think I ever will become her. Ha ha.
Yesterday night, was a damn lovely night. Superman treated me to a V-day dinner at a hotel. It was buffet style. We stuffed ourselves like there was no tomorrow. Planning our way to enter Asia's Biggest Loser! We were so bogged down with the food, the magical-love-in-the-air thing was never really there. A bit sad reality but I'd say, we didn't regret a bit. We enjoyed to the max making fun of each other. And I won eating the most. Now I wonder why we dressed to kill? Him in handsome moss green shirt, while I was in a black cocktail dress. We might rather wore a stretchy bottoms.By the time Superman called the waiter to pay the bill, I could feel my tummy stretching and my eyes feeling droopy. We reached home before 10pm. We couldn't contain any longer. Slept like babies by 11pm. We realized, our bonding sessions always involved food since the start of our relationship. The first time we met each other was when I accompanied my friend, Bai, to dinner with him. Huh? Now I wonder, what was it that makes me wanted to follow her that very night? God has a funny way to tell our destiny eh??!
Yesterday, I discussed with Mummy, Sis and of course my Superman about my future in current company. All said that I should say goodbye. But then, when and how? I haven't got another job as a backup. In dilemma. I'm still in probation. So there's only a one month notice to be given. If my boss granted my confirmation, then I will have to endure 3 months notice before I can say leave or else, I have to pay one month salary. Obviously flexibility is during my probation period. But, how about the job? I can't afford not to work. Oh my! Big decision to be made. BIG!

BLACK OUT!!!!
My avid readers, do you notice the changes I've made to this blog?
Yeah its to commemorate year 2010?No!CNY?No!
Its actually to 'layan' one of my good friend. She said she couldn't open my page. So I changed. I guess she didn't install the plug-ins. That's why. But nvm, dear Liana...this is a tribute to you..clap clap!
But why black themed?
Because I hate 2010 so far. I felt doomed.
But of course, walk your way to the war with style!
:) :S
Its Friday. And I'm having this Compulsory UNPAID Leave 'awarded' by my boss to all her stuffs. Sucks. But its okay. At least I'm having my holiday guilt-free. But close one eye, my salary will be deducted at the end of the month.Erk..Miskin la lagi aku...
Wondering I want to do the rest of the weekend until Tuesday. Any ideas people? Cheap but fantastic ones?

Happy Lazy Weekend
I love last weekend so so much. Why?
Shitty as it is..I have no more Annual Leave balance. Spent them for my wedding preps. And I have to wait until 2011 before I get paid leaves as I am starting a new job soon. So of course when granted a long weekend like this, I will appreciate it so so much. Spending more time together with Superman is all I want. I'm not sure if I can get this kind of relaxation next year. Alot is going to happen next year. I bet its gonna be a happening AND a stressful year.
2) I finally packed up my overflowing clothes into the boxes..
Yeah..I dread packing up. For anything. But, I have promised my dear Superman, to start packing(although we havn't got our new house key yet) after I broke my promise not to shop on certain stuffs(yes, my heart melt when I saw the electric blue shoes and dark blue bag!). I better fulfill them!Hehehe! It took me 3/4 of the Saturday to completely doing it as I tried each of them, just to know whether it still fits me or not. Proudly, there's only 1 small box which I TOTALLY CANNOT FIT BUT SO 'SAYANG' TO THROW IT AWAY.Lol! And, I wonder why the hell I still shop for more stuffs. I think I have enough to cover 3 months attires without having to reuse them again. But well there's always this colour and that shape that I still don't have. ehhehe...Shopaholic lingo.
3) I have a thing with Christmas movies
No, I know that I can't be celebrating Christmas like Christians does. Just that, I just love the atmosphere. And the movies. I just love how they depict the magic and everyone goes nice and get their wishes during Christmas times. So I've spent my time while packing up the clothes, watching those movies. Superman had to surrender the remote control to me and he played his PSP all day. Sorry sayang....")
4) I didn't cook at all.
Yeay! Ooppsss!
5) I found a yummy shoes but I managed NOT to grab it.
Yes. I believe I still have a strong heart. Willpower! But I kept on thinking about them. This is tragic. But which one is yummier than the other? They are at Zara. They are so practical. Especially for work and parties. Very2 comfortable. And they are my size!!Oh god.I think I'll just wait their sale period at the end of this month. Shits..I couldn't take the pics on that day to show u. And Zara's website is not doing justice to me. Let it just be in my memory. So strong though...Arghh!!
I hate looking at my apartment now. It's in a big big mess.. Boxes all over the place. I wish to settle the moving in works before the year ends. But I'm not sure whether it will matter as the developer havn't given us the green light yet. Check up few weeks back found some defects so they had to ask their contractor to mend it before we move in. And they promised us that it should be ready before Christmas, which means within this week. We'll see.
