My pahala puasa today probably sebesar telur unta (why telur unta? Dolu2, my bff-no-more-sob2 ustazah munah selalu cakap camtu) je. Dari pagi i feel irritated....mula2 bangun pagi i discovered little D dah membanjirkan tilam and half of no 31 dgn kencing dia. Tengok2 dia tidur malam tadi tak pakai pampers. Why? The maid cakap because masa lepas mandi malam nak pakaikan, si kecik kata taknak so the maid pun lupa nak cakap kat i..haaaihh! Dah la hari hujan je ni, bila ke selimut, bantal, cadar, duvet and cover nak kering? Tilam pun habisla..
Pas tu i ingat nak buat kuih gelang (keria) petang ni. One thing about living next to little D's nursery, the teachers can pop in and out bebila..ada la plus and minus pointnya. Plus bila si kecik tak nak pi sekolah, panggil je teacher next door. Minusnya is when cam tadi..bila i tengah buat kuih, one of the teachers singgah and makcik ni masih anak dara, in her 20s but selalu rasa dia lebih makan garam dari i. Dia pun memberi komen2 the right way of doing it termasuklah, bila nak sira, jangan campur air (dlm gula). Kalau nak sedap lagi jgn campur tepung ke keledek (eh! jenuh i nak membentuknya tadi). Then i found out that bebudak nursery sebelah will have roti je for tea. So the maid and i pun pulunlah cepat2 buat, goreng and sira, ingatkan nak sedekah kat sebelah. Teacher cakap tea starts at 4.15pm. 4.30 the maid went to send the kuih, and that teacher cakap, eh bik, budak semua dah makan, tak payahla bagi, saya nak bawak balik. Whatttt???? I was annoyed. because dah la memang i bagi banyak so enough for all the kids and teacher pulak yg nak bolot? 15 minit je takkan budak dah habis makan? Lagipun bagi je la because parents datang ambik pun pukul 5. Kalau i berhajat nak bagi the teachers, i takla bagi sebanyak tu and had rumah punya kena buat another batch.
OK, pas tu i pun buatla another batch. Harap the maid goreng and sira. Bila i tengok, awat the gula sira jadi cam caramel dan melekit2??? Tak buh air ke? The mid cakap dia buh sikit je. Tu dah termakan dgn cakap teacher la tu kan???! So, this buka posa, i'm left with sticky caramelised kuih keria for my kids...who got the lovely ones?? The teacher...yg tak masuk dlm plan i pun...humphh!
p/s i hope i tak la rasa annoyed je ngan maid i ni. She's new, tak sampai pun sebulan and the bestest so far kalau nak dicomparekan dgn yg lepas2..

Pengalaman ngeri di suatu Ramadhan
I stay at home these days to work. I ingat bulan baik camni i nak berbakti pada bumi by limiting my carbon footprints....hehe..actuallynya, with it being a fasting month, badan penat and jalan jem yg teramat, rasa tak kosser nak bangun, mandi, dress up and drive the 40 odd kilometres to the office. However, i still try to maintain some discipline meaning, by 8.30 dah ada kat meja, mandi tak mandi belakang kira (oh the beauty of working from home) and basically work. Itupun 2,3 hari jugaklah utk penghuni2 kat rumah ni grasp the concept that mummy is at home but not available: so, jangan sesapa tetiba nak tengok tv pagi2 sebelum berhijrah ke nursery kat sebelah rumah...jangan ada sesapa expect kita mandikan anak pulak utk sesi pagi and no....i can’t mind the baby while you do housework (ni khas utk bibik la) and no walkies either (esp. For Melly). Treat me as if i’m not around. My capacity to concentrate ni pendek sangat...come 10.30-11.00, i mula la merayau2 check tv channel, bagi ikan makan and come noon, pick up some of the papers, bawak naik atas katil, konon nak sambung baca la but then bye bye...so people of no.31, it’s important that i start early in the morning.
Bagus jugak dok kat rumah..tendency nak melencong ke KayLCC on the way home is reduced 100%, can save some money utk hari tua (as if la takde internet shopping, kan Ina, kan??). Hati pun berkobar2 mereka apa nak masak utk berbuka. But i’m no domestic goddess cam Tijah tu (btw, of which ada la 2,3 resipinya i dah try. Pahala you Tijah). Balik2 setiap minggu menu pusing2 kat situ jugak. MG makan nampak tersiksa sangat – baik sikit cam dpd orang dlm pantang je..it’s either memang tak sedap or he’s saving it bila dia nak berbukak posser tajaan di hotel2 (i tell you he can really EAT when he’s at these places. Bila tengok pinggan dia memang nampak sedap je. Kita baru terkedek2 dapat nasi, pinggan dia ada roast lamb la...udang la...dia punya ‘zoning’ device lagi canggih).
Speaking of berbuka kat hotel ni, obviously i don’t do it often sebabnya takde orang nak sponsor unlike the nature of MG’s job. Kenkadang tu boleh le i ikut sama which is so rare because MG’s present company ni kemut sikit, spouses tak di invite sama. At his previous company, at least 2,3X i akan pergi sama. Anyway, walaupun ini adalah bulan ramadhan and i’m supposed to jaga mulut joyah i but i can’t help it, come bulan posser i mesti teringat kat this couple (colleague MG & wife). They were a good team. Kalau main treasure hunt nescaya juara bertahan....they put their heads together (i think) and masing2 tahu which area each is supposed to cover. Balik ke meja dua2 tangan akan pegang pinggan....hah ambik kau! Between the two of them, no less than 4 plates penuh2 enough to feed a refugee camp. Fine..if you eat that much OK la..but apa yg i tak berkenan is that there will be leftovers. Once tu, hotel yg mengong tu tak top up pulak the trays yg kosong. MG and i teringin sangat nak these really fat grilled prawns tapi dah habis..and you know what la kan..kat pinggan depa haaa bergelimpangan those fat prawns. (kalau makan kat kedai mamak mungkin regenya mencecah 100 ringgit). Kitaorg telan airliur je la kan...pas tu when a waiter came to collect the plates, the wife nonchalantly told the guy to clear theirs...whatttt?!!!!! Dengan muka selamba tanpa rasa bersalah pun...so bila ada company buat makan buffet camtu i always ask MG make sure we lose them, taknak duduk dekat2. I trauma tau bazir2 makanan camtu!

What has my netbook got in common with my boob?
I have this love and hate relationship with my netbook. When it's OK, it's excellent. When it's not, rasa cam nak campak je dari balcony. The relationship is barely 2 months old but it spent most of its time back at the shop where I bought it from. Mula2 keyboard jadi sewel. Tekan lain, lain yg keluar. At the same time, it hang so badly whenever I’m on the net that closing down was impossible. After I got it for a week, back it went to the shop where it stayed for 2 weeks. Then I got it back, try 2,3 hari, keyboard was OK but it still hang. So I went back to the shop. But when it was dibega2 dek salesperson tu, elok pulak dia. Laju bukan main and siap boleh bukak 4,5 windows lagi at the same time…aikkk! So, this ‘akak’ was told to go home and kalau ada problem lagi boleh datang (and the salesperson did give me a look that spelt ‘crazy woman!’).
Last week also I decide to have this achy feeling on my left breast sorted out after a few months of pretending that there was no problem. Jenuh la buat self breast xm berpuluh kali and takde pun lump macam guli tu..I ronda kat semua clinic dekat pekan rumah I (tak banyak pun, ada le 3,4) and tak satu pun ada dr pompuan. Yg ada, dr nya masuk kul 10.30 pagi (really??? Lambatnya for a private). So I went to the nearest private hospital…went to klinik pesakit luar. The nice MO cakap lepas dah traba2 sekejap, the specialist was around so she’ll refer me to her. I tunggu dekat 2.30 jam because I didn’t have any appointment so kena dulukan pompuan2 boyot yg lain (although I did think it was strange why I was referred to this clinic but hey…mana tau protokol dia orang kat situ macam ni). Then I was called in, tengok, raba, picit etc. Good news, no lump whatsoever and miraculously dah dok berjam menunggu sakit pun hilang..!
So, what does my netbook have in common with my boob? Kiranya cam budak2 pi jumpa dentist la..dgn magiknya walaupun dah semalaman tak tidur, bila kat klinik, semua sakit hilang….literally.
P/S Yeah, I thought I was referred wrongly by the MO. The O&G dr cakap I should have been referred to a general surgeon…but still she said, nemind I’ll take a look (she’d better when I’ve waited for sooooo long!). So puan2, kalau ada masalah booobs, go to a general surgeon. At workplace B I ada breast clinic. Why didn’t I go there? Well, I pernah flash jugak kat situ (Segan dah. I ni paranoid kan..) a few years back, plus, I taknak kena tunggu utk appointment.

Pesbuk dilemma
Haiya....this pesbuk thing kan..for a start, i register pesbuk because ada kawan invite utk tengok gambar dia. Then i added one or two friends. For a longggg time, i don't even know bila nak comment nak tekan mana or bila orang comment camna nak reply. I only know how to email..itupun i peram sampai 2,3 bulan sampai cite dah tak jadi sensasi pun..
Anyway....
A few months back my bro sms i subuh hari suruh invite dia.. i said no. He asked why? I said mine is exclusive..i don't invite any TD or H walaupun yg share DNA ngan i sekali pun. He asked how many friends i have got...i kata ada la 20 kut..dgn eksennya dia cakap dia ada kat 300..(mine is exclusive..get it??)
I'm not the type to tangkap gambar and tukar2 profile pics. Sebabnya i.....hodoh belaka..have you seen some people's profile pics??? Cam model OK and to think that masa sekolah dulu poyo je. Lagipun lepas i said Ok to some ex's requests nak jadi friend, lagi la i gabra...i don't want them to say, sib baik..... Btw, si siamang sms i tadi and tanya, you dah tak pakai tudung ye? Ni agaknya lepas dia google i, nengok profile pic i yg berzaman masa i jadi austin powers tu. It's a wig people, wig! Tapi i tau dia saja nak provoke i because kan i dah tak kawan dah ngan dia and sms dia i dah tak hiraukan. Itu one of his attempts nak i menjawab la tu..
Pas tu bila my cousins and sedara dapat tau i ada pesbuk, mati2 nak kawan ngan i...taknak la kick out cam bro sendiri kan because busuk2 pun abang seniri nak mengutuk takkan ke mana but sedara mara..hmmm...so tadi lepas i add, i pun menengok la gambo anak sedara i...adakah i ni kolot?? Adakah i ni hidup dalam time warp?? Mak datuk..! Baju2 yg dipakainya and those worn by her friends semua jenis2 tak cukup kain....pas tu tangkap gambar main air ngan boipren peluk sana peluk sini..(tapi for budak tak lepas SPM pun lagi the boipren ada 6pack uols!). Maknya desperate hoswipe cousin i tau perihal anaknya ni..but she said OK, budak tak boleh larang sangat...lagipun boipren dia OK, tak buat apa2 bila datang rumah...(well...if you are male and 17, pas tu dapat gefren yg putih gebu and sexy, takde rasa nak ngap je ke????). I find it strange..because to me i would rather she tells me that anak dia tau how far she can go...because i rasa kalau dia ingat budak 2 ekor tu takde 'perasaan', i ni je ke yg terlebih2 perasaan dulu??? (and now i'm a party pooper)
There's this colleague of mine yg perangainya ngalahkan Joyah...actually she is so nasty, pelik and tah hapa2 lagi that dia takde kawan and i mean this literally. Harapkan laki pun kerja tempat yg sama so takde la nampak cam kera sangat. Anyway, dekat pesbuk lah makcik ni bersosial..dgn trainees and ex trainees. She has this perangai yg sungguh la tak professionalnya i.e. suka mengutuk colleagues dia (us) on pesbuk. Apa2 tak puas hati dlm meeting ke etc. dia akan kutuk kat pesbuk.....thing is, dalam ramai2 kitaorg ni, cuma sorang dua je 'berkawan' ngan dia kat pesbuk (walaupun tidak di alam nyata) and thru one of them i dapat access to read this makcik's comments. In fact this friend bagi i password dia. So time and again i checklah...walaupun most of the times, kawan i tu tak tau pun i buat kerja tu (OK OK i know i'm not supposed to do that). Then just now, i buat pekerjaan terkutuk tu lagi and suddenly ada chat box appeared, 'u tak tido lagi???'. And this came from an ex-colleague of ours yg dah berbini tapi yg kitaorg pun tau dia ada sikit jugak syok kat kawan i ni...
Ayoyo...i pun cabut!! Damn, habisla rahsia i hack pesbuk orang.
(BTW, kengkawan i yg asik berlari marathon, masak kek and ooo life's so wonderful in the good ole USA telah berjaya i hidekan)..
Oh yes, kepada cinta hati yg nak ajak i berfoya2 kat singaporingghe..what naik ketapi?? Taknak la..i takut virus bab tu. I give car, you drive.

MLC
It’s apparent that it’s not only me that is experiencing mid-life crisis. Although I must say that for some people rather than being a sport about it i.e. mengaku saja la and just laugh about it, ada yang tak nak mengaku, mati2 deny.
MLC #1 I had a friend who faced this mid-life crisis thingy a few years back. It was a bit premature I think memandangkan he was younger than me and at that time he must be in his early 30s. Tiba2 je pakcik ni mula berdressing hip…..i mean previously berpakaian macam budak nerd dalam kelas. Dari spec bingkai hitam terus tukar ke electric blue. Dari workshirt yg button down kelip2 kain acrylic (we all gelarkan kain baju yg bukan cotton / silk kain acrylic) tukar ke 100% cotton and seluar khaki D0ckers…you know gaya berunsur2kan cool and casual..Then baju santai pulak style yg ada nampak bentuk badan jalur2…once there was this function at our workplace and this mamat siap beli baju baru, sorok dari bini (memang sah tak bawak bini la kan) and got one of our female colleagues to judge..OK tak baju tu and ada rupa cam so and so selalu pakai tak? Guess what the so and so idola of this guy happened to be Mr Gig! (yeah laki aku!) Kah kah kah…I always thought MG dressed up in appropriately for someone yg dah beranak dua and ehem..physique tak le cam jaman2 dia masuk gym dulu kan…only just now I tengok dia tertidur kat depan tv, mengiring…dgn mulut ternganga, perut jatuh ke bawah…still…sib baik dapat bini yg suka kat orang yg bam bam ni…Anyway, during that dinner, MG happened to sit next to that guy and yeah, they looked nearly like twins…dua2 baju warna brown, stripes…the only thing was, satu stripe lebar, satu nipis..Kalau setakat dressing je boleh tahan lagi…ni mula menjinak2kan diri berfriendster and tah hapa2 lagilah aktiviti ‘merapatkan silaturrahim’.
MLC#2 My little boss who is also a friend has to attend hubby’s workplace function. I think julung2 kali hubby mengajak kut.So, all last week, makcik sibuk menyiapkan diri ala2 cam nak naik pelamin sekali lagi. Selain dari yg biasa dia buat like spa, mani and pedi, she also went for makeup testing and beli bling2. But yg paling kelakar sekali was after 37 years, she decided to have her eye brows shaped. Imagine sebelum ni eyebrowsnya kalah Inak Mawik(tambah2 lagi makcik ni ada DKK jugak, so she was quite hairy), tetiba she discovered area cam airport runaway between her eyebrow and eyelid. After missing from from workplace A for nearly a week, I came in on Fri and spotted her looking ‘permanently surprised’. I tried taknak ketawa but laughter is the best medicine…haha.
MLC#3 Well I have to mention about laki I sendiri kan…(sorry MG…you kata you dah tak baca blog I so I do hope you keep it that way..kang terasa pulak kang..). He came back with a football jersey from his last trip to Phuket. It’s white in colour obviously bila kaler terang, orang yg sedikit ‘gempal’ akan nampak bertambah lagi la comelnya…but being the mithali wife I am, I diam je. One day last week, he came back late from the office and tengok2 bila balik he was in his sports attire…main sports uols..OK la kan…at least badan sihat…I tanya main apa??? Futsal? Nope…Badminton ke?? (I terpikir dlm hati..) idak uols….beach volley ball!!! Amboi boi….am I missing something here??? Ada pompuan in skimpy sporty beach-volley-ball attire ke yg tetiba menaikkan napsu laki I nak berriadah ke?? (still I biarkan saja because I don’t believe in prevention, instead, I always keep that kapak for damage control should the need arises). Today he disappeared for the whole day (shopping) and came back with a new pair of trainers..he said utk bagi dia power..apa2 je la asalkan jgn trainers tu nanti join trainers I dlm almari je dah. Last night bila bersiap nak ke barbq my bro, I tengok dia nak pakai football jersey tu. Saja je mulut ni terpaksa bercakap, don’t wear that, it doesn’t flatter you (meaning: makes you look fatter)..MG said, it makes me look sporty..
Apa2 je la labu….

Sembang kosong
I haven't been well...bad cough and cold. But thank god not the H whatever. Little D pun sama, batuk and selsema and now ni Baby X pulak. With the younger missy, payah sikit, nak makan ubat punya la susah. Ikut mood, kejap OK kejap tak OK..fortunately she's at the stage where everything kakak does, she wants to do it also, so little D has to pretend that she's taking the medicine.
Last Saturday, we went up north for a wedding of MG's cousin. Actuallynya with present dstate of health memang malas nak berjalan but kesian kat cousin dia, udahla the only child, parents pulak sakit so our presence were more to meramaikan rombongan. Throughout the day, my MIL mengomel 'kenapa the girl's side tak boleh make things simple when the groom is from outsation. Cuba buat cam kelian dulu (meaning MG and I)' Yelah, my parents dulu memang tak sabar2 nak lepaskan i, it was short of a shotgun wedding. Merisik diaorg datang sekereta je, bagi i cincin tanda (masa tu i tengah kat dapur kaut nasi-sempoi sungguh, no pakai lawa2, mekap semua), 1 month later nikah pagi, tengahari majlis (sekarang ni i tengok MG ada sikit2 rasa tak puas hati jugak...simple sungguh, he really got me at a bargain!). The next day majlis kat rumah MG yg jauhnya about 300km. Anyway, for this couple, there was merisik before, hari tu pagi bertunang kat rumah, then nikah kat masjid. I though everything selesai, but laaaaa ada pulak majlis nanti pas raya...!
After the kenduri we put up a night at Penang. All the hotels were fully booked when i checked thru the internet. So, yg set2 ada jacuzzi kat dlm bilik semua takde can la...MG yg bercita rasa tinggi (tapi taknak buat plan awal2) cukup tak puas hati betul. Ingatkan OK la this shall be cum family holiday, tapi with me yg badan penat and little D yang batuk main punya teruk, forget it la. I sampai book 2 bilik so that we could bring the maid along, mana la tau nak beromantika. Hump! Tak usah harap...! Mr. Gigolo (MG) i tu kata 'ambience' is not there (kemain lagi! ) and malam tu dia panik sekejap because little D batuk sampai muntah2. Sib baik la i-who-never-travel-lightly ada bawak nebuliser. Kesian kat little D, we told her that nak bawak dia main air (meaning the pool), but it rained throughout and tambah dia yg tak sihat obviously it was out of the question. But when she saw the bath tub, she thought, itulah main air..hahaha!
My brother yg kecoh nak kahwin dulu dah bernikah pun. It was complicated something to do with the girl's parents yg hilang surat nikah, parents divorce, father balik negara so they all nak nikah asyik sangkut je, last2 pi sempadan. Habih cerita (jimat duit abang aku haha). My parents pun buat a small doa selamat kat restaurant je. Actually masa my mum masuk AIJN in March, ada benda i tak puas hati ngan my bro. He took it so lightly...so i complained to my desperate hoswipe cousin who sound kat dia. He's OK with my cousin, tengok2 aku pulak yg dia angin. So he's not been in contact with me since. Tomorrow dia ada buat barbq (+ baca yassin) kat rumah baru...he did call up MG to jemput tapi tak cakap kat i. I told MG, biarlah, i tak nak pergi (saja ngada2) sampai dia call i sendiri. My cousin bagitau dia, dia cakap napa dia yg nak call since he's the abang, i said i couldn't care less since dia yg salah (cam budak2 kahkah), last2 my new sis in law called 'CK, i haven't seen you for a long time...we are doing a barbq, i hope you can come..' Hehe..sure dia ingat we all adik beradik ni sewel. Of course i'm coming (with 2 choc cakes some more).
OK laa...that's all we've got time for today. Taraa then!
Last Saturday, we went up north for a wedding of MG's cousin. Actuallynya with present dstate of health memang malas nak berjalan but kesian kat cousin dia, udahla the only child, parents pulak sakit so our presence were more to meramaikan rombongan. Throughout the day, my MIL mengomel 'kenapa the girl's side tak boleh make things simple when the groom is from outsation. Cuba buat cam kelian dulu (meaning MG and I)' Yelah, my parents dulu memang tak sabar2 nak lepaskan i, it was short of a shotgun wedding. Merisik diaorg datang sekereta je, bagi i cincin tanda (masa tu i tengah kat dapur kaut nasi-sempoi sungguh, no pakai lawa2, mekap semua), 1 month later nikah pagi, tengahari majlis (sekarang ni i tengok MG ada sikit2 rasa tak puas hati jugak...simple sungguh, he really got me at a bargain!). The next day majlis kat rumah MG yg jauhnya about 300km. Anyway, for this couple, there was merisik before, hari tu pagi bertunang kat rumah, then nikah kat masjid. I though everything selesai, but laaaaa ada pulak majlis nanti pas raya...!
After the kenduri we put up a night at Penang. All the hotels were fully booked when i checked thru the internet. So, yg set2 ada jacuzzi kat dlm bilik semua takde can la...MG yg bercita rasa tinggi (tapi taknak buat plan awal2) cukup tak puas hati betul. Ingatkan OK la this shall be cum family holiday, tapi with me yg badan penat and little D yang batuk main punya teruk, forget it la. I sampai book 2 bilik so that we could bring the maid along, mana la tau nak beromantika. Hump! Tak usah harap...! Mr. Gigolo (MG) i tu kata 'ambience' is not there (kemain lagi! ) and malam tu dia panik sekejap because little D batuk sampai muntah2. Sib baik la i-who-never-travel-lightly ada bawak nebuliser. Kesian kat little D, we told her that nak bawak dia main air (meaning the pool), but it rained throughout and tambah dia yg tak sihat obviously it was out of the question. But when she saw the bath tub, she thought, itulah main air..hahaha!
My brother yg kecoh nak kahwin dulu dah bernikah pun. It was complicated something to do with the girl's parents yg hilang surat nikah, parents divorce, father balik negara so they all nak nikah asyik sangkut je, last2 pi sempadan. Habih cerita (jimat duit abang aku haha). My parents pun buat a small doa selamat kat restaurant je. Actually masa my mum masuk AIJN in March, ada benda i tak puas hati ngan my bro. He took it so lightly...so i complained to my desperate hoswipe cousin who sound kat dia. He's OK with my cousin, tengok2 aku pulak yg dia angin. So he's not been in contact with me since. Tomorrow dia ada buat barbq (+ baca yassin) kat rumah baru...he did call up MG to jemput tapi tak cakap kat i. I told MG, biarlah, i tak nak pergi (saja ngada2) sampai dia call i sendiri. My cousin bagitau dia, dia cakap napa dia yg nak call since he's the abang, i said i couldn't care less since dia yg salah (cam budak2 kahkah), last2 my new sis in law called 'CK, i haven't seen you for a long time...we are doing a barbq, i hope you can come..' Hehe..sure dia ingat we all adik beradik ni sewel. Of course i'm coming (with 2 choc cakes some more).
OK laa...that's all we've got time for today. Taraa then!

I’m a people pleaser, conformist or ‘aku yg suka menurut perintah’...my little boss suh pakai tshirt jabatan yg sungguh tak flattering to the family day, i pakai. Padahal, dianya elok datang main lagi bergaya. Then she said, Cik Kiah, you are such a conformist. My MIL suh pi tengok orang sakit, i pergi...sikit pun tak tanya, anak mak tu tak yah pergi ke? My supervisor yg ala2 chipsmore suh i attend journal club pukul 8, 7.45 pagi dah i terbit and then left to wonder where the heck everyone was. Lupalak yg kita ni di land of MesiaBoleh, where got people come minus 15 mins to any meeting or function. Mak i suh buang tangkai cili sebelum simpan dlm fridge, i buang even though she is not around to check on me. Last2 Esah Juon only needed to p/s Kiah bila nak hapdate and here i am dah kul 1.15pagi, menggunakan pda i yg tak bertenet, so esok kena sync kan ke laptop then baru boleh publish. Cam la kita ni i lap u sangat.
Of late, my brain has not been functioning well. Asik dok terkenang benda yg i tengah buat sekarang. Sapa kata jadi student lagi best??? Kerja lagi best...lebih2 lagi ada settee empuk kat opis. Even though i’m still occupying my office, rasa bersalah pulak nak pergunakan sangat settee tu...i’m here on duit rakyat..cewah! Anyway, i have been going on my ‘sekodeng’ rounds looking for fire to ‘put out’ (i feel like a rhino of the african bush). I have my camera stashed in the glove compartment just in case but i have yet to catch anyone in action. Probably my complaint to the DOE was actually seen to.
Selain dari itu, i still haven’t stopped my spending.. I came across kat blog mana tah yang cakap when one is contented, one doesn’t find the need to spend. So, this one tak contented lagilah..jiwa dan otak bercelaru....hopefully i’ll stop sebelum tinggal bulu. Anyhow, for my latest purchase, i want to put part of the blame on Ina..awat you pi bagitau you beli handbag kat blog mana? Haruslah i menjengah and terjerumus ke kancah hina tu kannn??? Oleh kerana sampai la ni jugak i still tak leh nak download farmtown, obviously hobi terbaru i lebih merbahaya dpd setakat kerbau or itik pi makan pokok orang kan?? I suka benar bershopping tingkap kat Habibi, Wak Chan, Tomeh....but oleh kerana muka dah naik malu, asyik try2 tapi dlm 10x mungkin sekali pun tak beli, i pun buat rotation la kat kedai2 kat soping complex dekat rumah i. Cannot enter same shop twice in one week..the salesperson selalu jek2 i suh i trade in barang2 yg i ada. But when i pandang atas bawah, almost all except cincin kawin i, semua gheta mak i..camna nak trade in?? But there was once i called up MG kat opis, i told him yg i kat Habibi and what does he think if i beli...dia cakap, you ni kacau la! I nak pi meeting ni, kalau nak sangat beli je la....wa..wa..wa...itu bukannya bagi permission tu, it was more like a dare..so i yg ada OCD sikit ni beli bukan satu barang ok, dua! Pueh hati i! (MG cakap kat little D, mummy kau dah gila).
Obviously bila otak selalu diperah (as opposed to selalu diperam for so many years), perut sentiasa lapar..waduhhh! Nafsu makan membuak2. Berat badan pun naik boleh tahan. The solution to losing weight which for me dah terlambat but utk esah ada peluang lagi (she only needs to bersidai lama2 kat Edgware Road je) is to kawin ngan orang arab. Kan Desert Rose kan??? *wink* Tak payah i berlari2 anak ayam kat taman depan rumah ni..menggegarkan bumi serta menggoncangkan semua ‘otot’ kat tubuh badan i (justeru menarik perhatian orang ramai yg sangat tidak perlu).
Anyway, stay safe. Wash your hands often and use a condom (2 pesanan masyarakat in one breath). Taraa then!
