Life goes on

Rentetan dari post yang terdahulu (azza, hari ni i akan banyak tiru you :)), I would like to thanks all for the lovely supporting comment. Berat mata memandang berat lagi bahu memikul kan? I just wish I could wait it to miscarry naturally rather than doing d&c. Tunggu dan lihat.

Tapi tak apa. Tamau la korang masuk blog ni baca kisah sedih je kan. Life goes on and sebab prinsip itu la lepas dapat the news, I;

• update the blog dan meluahkan perasaan yang terpendam :P
• surf internet, slept (and cried) for 2 hours
• went to my favourite saloon and get my hair cut :D
• went out with my bestfriend and did some shopping

Ye bodyshop eyebrow set dibeli kerana teringin selepas baca blog azza and the liquid eyeliner dibeli sebab nak cukupkan point. Tak tahulah kenapa shopping makeup2 ni siap dgn brush2. Padahal selama ni pakai jari je :P Takpe kata emotional shopper kan.

Oh sekadar berkongsi barang2 makeup dirumah, tak banyak pun sebab bukan kaki makeup. Yang biasa dipakai hanyalah pressed powder or loose powder dan lipgloss/lipstick. Blusher dipakai jika teringat tapi setelah dibelek2 tadi baru perasan 2 ketul blusherku telah hilang. Takmo tuduh sesapa, berdosa.

Yang lain dipakai ikut mood dan tempat. No I'm not trying to make statement ala2 artis yang kononnya mengaku hanya makeup lite2 padahal realitinya meraka makeup tebal 3 inci walaupun ke kedai runcit.

Last but not least, this is my new hairstyle. Mungkin tak nampak beza tapi percayalah sangat banyak rambut2ku jatuh berguguran dipotong dan dinipiskan. Depan potong 4-10 inces and belakang potong 4 inches. It's layered and I kinda love it. Lega. Ringan rasanya kepala.

Akhir kata, to all my loyal reader including yang sedang SR tu, I heart you ;)

Belum rezekiku

Ini bukan rezeki ku. Just came back from hospital and... I just cant go into detail. Not now.

Of course I am sad because is something that no one can understand if that person doesn't past per the same problem. But I know that I have people who are there to support me. Thank you all.

My husband currently works outstation, my parents are now in UK attending sister's graduation day. I'm alone and I don't know I just think it's ok. Now I just need to give myself plenty of time and space.

Gossip Girl anyone?

This gonna be a short entry. I'm not feeling well :(

Ada muka cam tak sihat ke ye? Picture may be deceiving ya. Tu pasal di crop. Sebenarnya muka cam orang gila dah tapi hati gembira sebab berlunch kat spagetti hik hik :pompom: pompom: Takde la jangan risau ye kawan2, ni pic sebulan lepas. Sekarang sihat walafiat ye, sambil menguyah coklat cadbury.

I demam ni ha (tengok pic bawah tu). I watched Gossip Girl season 2 episode 1 yesterday at 8tv. Lepas tengok tu I tak boleh tido :( Sudah kerinduan dengan Chuck Bass and Blair Waldolf. Can't wait to watch the next episode. Tak sabar tak sabar.

Sekarang sementara duk angau, apa boleh saya buat adalah sabar menanti untuk tunggu dvd Gossip Girl season 2 yang akan direalese pada 18 August 2009. Tapi tu kat US. Kat sini bila???

*menangis jap*

I like DVD sets even though I can get all the episode from torrent etc. Salah satu sebab tak suka is because I don't exactly have the patience to wait. Internet I sengal la! Waiting for the dvd ada patience plak ek?

I guess because it’s good stuff to watch when I’m away from home and not on my main computer. And I like to have tv marathons too. Best ok. Ok la bagi mempercepatkan penantian ini, one question please. Siapa ada cd/dvd full set of season 2 yang dah didownload? Tolong la kasi I pinjam nanti I? Plssssssss. (fai ko kata nak tolong tanya?)

Oh intro kononnya short entry tapi panjang lebar. Adalah tak reti tulis pendek2 ni. Assalamualaikum.

Kenapa baca blog?

Nak tanya kan, are there certain bloggers that you read his/ her blog daily tak kisah la topic pasal apa pun??? Tak semestinya jadi follower kan, mungkin hanya silent reader kepada mereka? Or are you the type who browse titles and only click if it sounds interesting enough?

I have to say I fall into both category 1 & 2 ; there are a few I read no matter what the title says. Ada orang baca saja nak tau cara kehidupan orang lain someone else's life dan bla2. I read blogs for different reasons such as:

• sometimes to be entertained, sometimes saje nak tau lifestyle orang lain
• read the blogs that I can relate to. The way I look at it, like we are all in the same boat, and we can all learn from each other.
• Ada jugak la yang takde kene mengena tapi suka gak baca. Yang bahasa sempoi and lawak2 skit. I like to learn about how other people think.

Sekadar gambar hiasan, cilok from here.

My way of writting blog is like my ramblings page. It's just my thoughts and what I happen to be thinking at that particular time or activity/ event happened that I wish to share. I don't expect everyone to read and agree every single thing I write because everyone have different preference. So do I. Ada jugak some things that bugged me about certain blogs (no, I'm not naming names here coz I'm not perffect either) such as:

• Bloggers who don't provide any "about me" info on their blog, or pointers to it elsewhere on their site. I like to know more about the people I'm reading.
• When a blog takes forever (and a mean more than 5 minutes!) to load.

• Blogger yang suka cerita hal2 dalam rumahtangga yang tak sesuai dicerita untuk 18 tahun ke bawah. Even if it is meant for 18 above, macam tak sesuai je cerita hal dalam kelambu kan?

  

That's all I guess. The rest are fine. Ada orang tak gemar bloggers yang ala2 menunjuk dalam blog etc. Itu tepuk dada tanya selera. I dont have any problem with that. Mungkin mereka2 ni tak berniat menunjuk pun sebab memang itu gaya hidup dia. "You should look for blogs that write about the areas that interest you. You can also read blog that people you know or that you're interested in are writing." source : wikepedia.

Tak suka jangan baca, simple kan? Tak payah tinggal kan komen yang menyakitkan hati. Bersopanlah anda walau di alam maya sekali pun. Syukur takde lalat2 singgah lagi di blog ni :) mungkin kurang popular hehehe.

That's all for today. Have a good day.

p/s setengah orang tak suka baca entry panjang kan?

Perlukah ada astro?

Masalah astro ni semua penah alami kot.

I had subscribed to Astro for more than 2 years. Takde la lama mana. Selama ni tengok astro kat ruang tamu je tapi since selalu berebut2 channel dgn orang lain, so we decided to have our own dalam bilik.

We subcribe because the pictures is better rather than to use the ariel. Padahal bukannya semua channel aku tengok pun. 103, 104, 105, 107, 411, 412, 413, 701,702, 708, 711, 712,713,714 antara channel yang ditengok la. Lain tu tak perlu pun takpe. Walau macam mana banyak complaint pun, there is still a lot subcribers. Antara perkara2 ni mengenai astro memang buat kesabaranku sedikit tercabar:

Astro @ ruang tamu

After lightning strikes a few months ago, we called astro people and they sent people to repair. Lepas repair dah ok la boleh on balik, tapi sangat sensitive. Even it's not raining it will gave 'Service not available' crap lepas 15 minutes astro tu di on.

Aku malas dah nak call2 balik sebab hal2 camni selalunya my husband yang rajin complaint. Kalau I la call mau i maki je. Sebelum ni apa astro ni repair aku pun tatau. ASTRO ni takde certified repairman kot. Doing crappy work using crappy spare part. Wah suka hati je tuduh.

Astro @ bilik

When its raining or windy you will hear some irritating sound or the screen with the pictures disappeared and keluar screen hitam bertulis “service currently not available”. Pejadah weyyy.

Lagi satu, I was watching Astro petang tadi when suddenly the whole TV went blank and keluar ayat "Invalid smart card bla bla". Check card tu ok je, called Astro and they need to send someone to check on it with RM50 fee, not incl of repair/replacement. Amboi2 ko punya salah ko nak charge aku plak, patutla kaya!

And guess what aku jawab dekat astro:

"fine, pls cancel my account now ". Wah takde la. Tu imaginasi je. Aku terus hang up and lepas tu off astro, lepas seminit on and dia ok balik. Kalau aku panggil orang astro terbang RM50 dah. Tapi I have to on and off astro every 15 minutes sebab the same error msg will appear. Tengoklah setakat mana tahap kesabaranku ini. Mau je aku bakar astro ni kang.

Astro in general

Reruns, reruns and more reruns. Duh. If I want to watch old movies, I don’t have to pay Astro RM130++ to do that. We have TV1,2,3 NTV7 and 8TV for that or lagi baik beli DVDs and CDs. No interruptions and no advertisements. Hati pun senang.

Astro, today we are proud to have the only private TV Channel with no competition tapi ingatlah, anda dibayar untuk memberi mutu perkhidmatan yang bermutu. Semoga ada orang astro baca ni.

-Insan kecewa-

Cheesy Chikaroni

Ok la sure banyak orang dah buat review pasal ni kan? Tak kira nak tulis gak. Lain orang lain pendapat.

Lepas tengok iklan2 di dada akhbar, televisyen dan di blog2 tertentu mengenai Cheesy Chikaroni, tiba2 saya rasa terpanggil untuk mencuba hidangan terbaru KFC ini. Awat cam pelik je susanan ayat aku ni? Ok takpe abaikan.

I'm not feeling well today, so setelah dipaksa, abang saya hari ni telah tolong belikan set tersebut hehe. I decided to give it a try since I like pasta so much and pasta is much healthier than fried stuff. Hari2 makan goreng2 mau naik badan I. Tapi kalau korang jumpa aku and berasa badan sudah skit naik, itu bukan sebab aku makan byk ye, tu sebab ubat. Wah motif kena bagitau awal2 kan walaupun takde siapa kesah pun hehe.

KFC Cheezy Chickaroni is sold ala carte at RM 5.80 or in set meal with drink at RM 5.90 before tax. It is a combination of macaroni, 4 ketul chicken meatballs and smothered in rich, creamy cheese sauces.

Tempat letaknya adalah dalam plastic container bukan seperti proper container seperti yang dipaparkan di tv and newspaper advertisement. Ianya seperti korang pergi tapau makanan di pasar malam or gerai2 makanan. It really makes a difference to those food that need to be served warm like this cheesy pasta. But then what to expect since they charge only RM 5.90 for a set meal kan. Ko nak standard2 makan kat cafe tul2 la.

Verdict : agak meloyakan tekak lepas 10 minit makan. Mual. Note : I'm a slow eater. Tak reti makan laju2 sebab tu kot muak makan pasta ni.

Notebook = Buku nota

I have many buku nota (kang aku tulis notebook korang ingat laptop plak) gathering dust on my shelf that I've never touched. Over tau kata many, ada 9 je pun, yang lain maybe I dah sedekahkan kat office lama. Tak hingin I simpan kenangan pasal company lama. Wah penuh dengan dendam emosi konon. Rasanya ada banyak lagi kat umah ni, jap lagi la I raid almari my husband ni, mana tau dia sorok situ, knowing that wife dia ni hobinya mengemaskini tempat dan membersih (menyapu licin) barang.

Buku2 nota ini, tak pernah la plak dipurchase sendri. Gila nerd beli buku nota. Zaman U (kolej) dulu pun aku pow (secara baik) buku nota me daddy je. Dia selalu dapat diary free. Just name it, kamu nak company mana, jabatan mana, sume dia ada. Siapa bagi kat dia tak tahu la. Tak pun I guna exercise book bodo je yang dijual 50 sen tu. I tend to make full use of the slide2 given by lecturers, and did my own research pasal topic tu kat internet, print out semua notes and slides, buat notes sendri bawah slides tu dengan pen kaler2 and compile semua tu and bind as a book. Tah korang paham ke tak explaination ni tapi memang puas hati la buat buku revision edisi sendri. Tak perlu text book dah.

Dalam sejarah I study kat U, tak pernah plak I beli textbook. Semua pinjam je kat library. Eh pehal ko citer pasal zaman kolej plak ni? Dulu suh study memain, sekarang baru nak terkenang2 plak.

Herm pasal notebook tu, some were given to me as gifts (ala time kerja ramai la vendor bagi kan), some were given by my 2 brothers, some are my husband's. So in order to assuage my guilt, I've decided I'm going to plug away at dragging these buku nota off my shelf, one by one, and throw them. Hahah acah je. Nak lap la. Berhabuk gila. And post about it in this thread, of course.

Taraaaaaa (tetiba aku rasa takde la byk sgt)

All these are notebook, except yang berjenama LV tu adalah organizer (3 dari kiri, top row). Tu hadiah dari sorang pakcik ni kat office lama. I panggil dia pakcik je la manaleh sebut nama kang mula la ada hasad dengki hehe. Contohnya "Apesal ko dapat organizer LV aku dapat organizer cap ayam je". Nasib la aku banyak assist dia dalam hal2 office lagi banyak pada ko kot.

Tapi kan korang, jangan kagum sangat. LV tu Korea mari je kot. Macai cam I takkan dapat LV ori. Tu tahap Director ke CEO ke layak la. Sampai sekarang tak dapat dipastikan lagi ketulenan organizer itu. Apa2 pun lepas spring cleaning itu hari baru I pasan I tak pakai lagi organizer tu. Siapa nak I nak give away dengan harga RM3,500/= Wah amik ko, tu bukan give away nama nya, tu cekik darah hehe. Tolong la beli korang supaya I dapat to-up guna duit tu nak beli handbag LV yg menjadi idamanku sekarang ni.

Btw Notebook yang ada cover dia quilt songket tu (refer 1st pic aku tau korang pun dah terminat tengok beg LV tu) is my favourite. Favourite2 pun berabuk juga akhirnya. Cantik. Yang ni nak pakai pun sayang.

Pls suggest apa I nak buat dengan notebook2 di atas ni? Buat buku untuk salin resipi dari mak mentua perhaps?

Persoalan Teknikal

Wah tetiba nak jadi pakar IT la kan. Camni ceritanya.

Question 1:

This is the error message I receive every time I visit a webpage especially blogs including my blog! I can get on these sites, but then seconds later I receive this message below. Apa telah terjadi ni? Anyone else experiencing this?

Takkan nak termenung dan pasrah mengenang nasib je kan so I google to find the solution. Got this from here:

"The easiest way for you to fix the problem is to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. This problem no longer occurs in Internet Explorer 8. To upgrade to Internet Explorer 8, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/default.aspx "

So kawan2, siapa ada masalah sila buat cara2 di atas. Or ikut cara I, guna Firefox. Apa klass pakai IE2 ni. Nyusahkan aku je.

Sebab tu la my occupation dalam facebook tertera serperti berikut: create and solve problem ;)

Exceptional for this case la, I didn't create, the problem rise itself.

Question 2 :

I dont have answer for this. Kenapa banyak sangat orang dari Phnom Penh masuk? I'm sure they are from Malaysia, adakah feedjit bengong?

Ke memang betul orang Phnom Penh masuk??? Takde plak I kawan dari sana. Orang Malaysia pun jarang2 masuk, apatah lag orang international kan heheh. Sesiapa tolong jawab persoalan membelenggu diriku ini ye.

Mekaseyyyyyyy.

Kitchen lagi

Ada je tak kena dgn kitchen cabinet kami ni. I know I shoud have considered IKEA kitchen cabinets at first. Dulu berapa kali dah survey sana, siap snap pic contoh kitchen cabinet kat IKEA and siap buat comparison etc. Last2 kitorang tak amik kat sana hehe. Walaupun kononnya taknak amik local punya.

Ni la contoh2 dapur yang diminati dan diimpikan mengikut size lokasi termampu.

Memandangkan kami anak2 yang baik, dengar nasihat orang tu sebab my mum (and MIL) ada cakap:

"Masak sangat ke nak buat dapur canggih2?"

Aduh macam dicucuh sembilu ok (aku pun tatau betul ke ayat ni janji ayat power kan). Menanah telinga aku. Rasa nak menangis pun ada, tapi takpe aku jadikan sebagai cabaran cewah. Nanti la aku pandai masak diap bukak cafe ternganga korang. Ye la awal2 orang tua dah tak beri semangat kan, I sedih ok. Takpe la since rumah pun sekangkang kera malas la buat grand2 sangat kan (ayat penyedap hati).

Ni la dapur I. Korang jangan tertipu dengan pandangan dari jarak jauh ini ok. Takde la cantik mana. Tapi I redha.

Mintak maaf ye, maybe I'm a bit biased with local made components. I've seen (actually I only heard and read heh) many installations and they look horrid and terrible after 5 years. That aside, I'm also wary of local kitchen cabinet installers. You want cheap, there's a possiblility of them skimping on the quality of materials used.

Oh well, it's your choice.

Berbalik pada cerita rumah I tadi, berapa kali dah panggil, dah repair dah and should be ok kot sekarang. Beria2 repair dapur mcm esok aku nak pindah la kan.

Nanti la bebila nanti ada rumah besar skit aku panggil Eric Leong. Hehehehehe.

Lunch @ Rebung

I'm so going to blog about this walaupun ianya agak ketinggalan zaman skit. Oh sila jangan berharap pic banyak2 sebab memang ada sekeping je (yang pentingnya gambar aku ada hahah).

Last month masa Father's day we went for lunch at Restoran Rebung. This restoran is a bungalow house located at Bangsar Park. Tempat ni favourite mama sebenarnya, tak berapa sure apa motifnya restoran favourite mama tapi bawak makan untuk Father's Day kan? Takpe yang penting semua dapat makan.

Restoran ni masakkannya mengingatkan saya pada masakan tok coz Rebung are actually serving pure tradisional masakan melayu kampung Negeri Sembilan. Oh tok saya adalah orang Kedah so sila buat2 percaya je mcm ada kaitan masakan tok saya dengan Restoran Rebung.

All recipes were originally from Chef Ismail Ahmad, the owner himself. Oh dia ni sangat peramah ok. Siap berjalan dan bersembang dari meja ke meja macam open house kekdahnya.

Konsep hiasannya adalah open dining. Sometimes you can hear the noise by vehicles nearby as it is near to the road. Memandangkan kami pergi waktu tengah hati, the buffet cost us RM35 per person. Buffet foods are arranged at one corner and few stalls in front of the buffet corner that serve laksa, mee soto, ikan bakar, cucur udang, pisang goreng and rojak. Desserts seperti sagu gula melaka, jelly, kuih lopez dan kuih2 tradisional lain dihidangkan di dalam banglo, in the air-conditioned dining room.

baju abah tu hadiah father's day kami (saya) :)

Since we made a last minute reservation, of course the air-conditined room is full so takde pilihan kena la makan diluar. Panas ok, dah lama makanan pedas2, nasib baik sedap!

Selamat bertugas kembali

Biasanya bila hubby nak gi kerja balik, I will feel a bit unhappy. Takde la sedih sampai tak kasi gi kerja ke apa, lagipun biarlah dia bekerja sementara kudrat ada ni, cari duit banyak2 nanti aku gak senang kan hahahahahah (gelak jahat). Bak kata orang, sayang isteri tinggal2kan. Susah2 dahulu, senang2 kemudian (ayat penyedap hati).

Btw ceritanya my husband is off to Saudi again, tomorrow morning. Gi la korek minya kat sana, kat sini minyak dah takde kot (ayat tak puas hati). Ok la honestly it still makes me a little sad. Afterall, he’s my best friend and menyenangkan hati (but annoying hehe) person I know.

Oh sekarang I tayah tolong2 pack dah. Lagi I tolong lagi dia punggah (baju grey). Ok fine, suruh budak baju merah tu tolong la. Gigih tuu sampai masuk2 beg. Lagi pening.

But last night I was thinking of all the things I get to enjoy while he’s gone (refer to baju grey). I mean all those girly, silly things I used to do when I was single and lived alone that I get to enjoy. Muahahahaha. Saje je buat ayat kasi dia dengki hehe. Apa sangat la aku leh buat.

Contohnya:

Watching ANYTHING I want on TV. Not one time, for one minute, did I have to watch news, pening kepala aku tv duk laga2 orang. Oh I watch E!, Starworld and MTV anyway. Masih mood berkabung MJ ;)

dan

Boleh tido mati in the middle of our gigantic bed surrounded by 172 pillows (overkan skit).

Tetiba tatau nak buat penutup apa. Babaiiiiiii.

Weekend project : Bake a cake!

I recently realized that I tend to only bake/make cakes when there's a special occasion to be celebrated i.e Hari Raya or ikut suka mood je. Kalau tunggu Raya, takkan bake setahun sekali je. Kalaulah ada Job Performance Appraisal atau SKT, mmg tak mencapai target langsung ni.

So SIL no. 2 and I thought it would be fun this weekend and bake ourselves a cake - for no particular reason at all. Buat dengan ikhlas tanpa paksaan maka kek jadi berambah sedap la kan :)

Oh time I buat chocolate takde siapa snap pic :( Tapi time menolong SIL buat Tiramisu dan2 ramai nak snap pic :P

Ni la choc cakenya. Serious sedap :) Kukus tau bukan bake. Sangat moist. I just like the idea of just baking a cake for fun. I choose to bake this cake sebab senang je cara nya. There's no pressure to make it perfect, no special requests for flavors or icing (ni belum expert ni). Best2.

Saje crop muka supaya korang focus kat cake hahaha. Padahallll?

Ok la meh kasi tau bahan2nya. Got it from a friend. Sharing is caring.

• 1 cawan gula perang
  1 cawan susu segar perisa coklat
  1 cawan minyak
  1/2 cawan susu pekat manis
  3/4 cawan serbuk koko
• 3 biji telur
  1 1/4 cawan tepung gandum
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp soda bikarbonat
  
  3 biji telur

Sekian :)

Happy Birthday AR

Happy birthday to AR! Dah setahun dah dia :) Seems like he'd rather bite (eat) the wrapper than enjoying he's birthday gift hehe. Lain tahun chik kasi wrapper je la ye.

Pic taken yersterday, gift from Tok mama, makngah and chik :D

Random pic of Kaleela and AR, few days before. Susah eh nak snap pic budak2. Tu belum besar lagi tu, mau kena kejar nak suh bergambar. Masing2 nak buat hal sendri. Ni the best pic la out of 10?

Yup sis, lokasi penggambaran adalah dibilik I. Bilik I kan jadi port skrg hehe. Yang best nya orang dibelakang baby2 itu maintain je hehe. Mula2 ku pikirkan patung (not me ye!) .:peace.:
