all in a day's work ...

sekadar gambar hiasan (aku pun tak tau biler gambar nie diambik - tapi aku nampak kuruskan?)

Ini menggambarkan perasaan aku masa nie ...too much to do in so little time ...aku kena buat a lot of thing by 4th Feb nie ...tapi aku being aku, masih boleh berlenggah2 plak ..see, sempat lagi buat posting merapu nie LOL ....

Aku happy ari nie sebab (i) dapat tau akan dapat payment next week ...alhamdullilah; (ii) my performance evaluation for 2010 was good ...cross that out ...it was great, syukran syukran! Suka aku ....belas dendam from last year; (iii) i had a new shoes - beli semalam - and that really makes me happy; (iv) teringat ada lagi pecan butterscotch and chocolate brownie kat rumah - for my tea petang nie .....

so all in all, despite my busy bee status, I am feeling great ....feeling appreciated and in the mood to pamper myself ...hehehe the last one yang bahaya tu ....sia2 aku spent money on cling film kan liz kan .....

P/S selamat bercuti Fend - and readers yang menyambut Hari Wilayah esok ....dari aku yang jeles sebab takde cuti esok! Kira aku sorang jer adik beradik 30-something yang kerja esok coz Fend cuti balik PD, Liz mmg cuti dok kat rumah, Eat dah kat Isketambola ...huhuhuhu aku???

Happy Weekend ....

Suke suke suke ...sebab hari n ie hari Jumaat ...meeting aku petang nie plak dipostponekan ..so takyah aku nak prepare apa2 ....and esok boleh lie-in ....sebab takde kerja (hehehehe kalau ada meeting petang nie baru ada report kena buat esok) and maybe ajak mak aku kuar jalan2 cari breakfast ...

Semalam dapat good news ...mak aku managed to get a domestic helper ....utk tolong2 kemas rumah ...akan datang to help clean the house once a week ....half day ajer ..and we are so happy coz that would really ease my mum's burden ...bukan kitorang paksa mak aku nie kerja, tapi dia tak reti dok diam...asyik nak mengemas ajer ...dia nie cam kak long, sakit mata tengok rumah sepah ....so, hopefully akak yang akan datang nie (aku tak tau lagi nama dia) will help her out....lega anak2 dengar tau ..

tapi sebelum mak aku agree to have a helper aritu, we all had a tough time convincing her ..snipets of our conversation...Jane was asked to tell her, sebab kalau aku cakap dia tak dengar ....

Jane: mak, takyah buat kerja...tunggu kitorang balik ajer buat kerja ...mak rest (nie a few days after dia ada chest pain and nearly fainted)

Mak: Mak sihat ...kalau tak kerja bla bla bla (panjang lebar dia punya hujah ...) 

Jane: kiter cari orang utk tolong kemas rumah ...mak kan tak sihat, jgn buat kerja ...mak tengokkan budak2 ajer, masak pun takyah, nanti Endu beli  (Note: endu tu nama manja aku LOL)

Aku: aa aaa ...senang jer masak kat kedai ...kan mak dah janji nak call org tu aritu ...yang datang clean rumah tu ...apasal tak call2 lagi?

Mak: alah, mak sihat le ..korang nie suka buat drama ....lagipun, mak nak kemas store dulu and kemas everything before panggil org tu ..baru dia senang kemas (LOJIK TAK?????? gheram aku!)

Dom: laaaa buat apa mak plak nak kemas? kita hire dia utk kemas ...bukan soh mak kemas ...

Mak: kemas lah dulu ...nanti mak tak tau barang apa ada dalam store tu ... (macam2 alasan dia!)

Dad: apa kata korang buat advertisement...kata mak korang nak buat part-time kemas rumah org ..memandangkan dia rajin sgt nak kemas, boleh gak kiter dapat extra income  (pas cakap nie, my dad terus blah! hehehehe)

Dom: mak, kereta i kotor ...tolong cucikan ...kereta Endu pun kotor ...cuci and vacuum sekali lah ..since mak rajin sangat hehehehe

Mak: yea lah tea lah (nada merajuk) ...nanti mak call org tu .... (merajuk terus masuk bilik!)

Lojik tak???? Puas pujuk lagi the next day ...baru semalam dia call org tu ...itupun pas aku soh cousin aku call org tu and tanya (my cousin kenal org tu ...ex-jiran dia)..and my mum call to confirm semalam ...tapi now, dia dah call and confirm, we all lega ...it will make a difference ...mak aku boleh rest!

sekadar gambar hiasan: gambar 2 years ago ....masa sibuk mengemas backyard

Anyway, happy weekend everyone, whatever your plans are...semoga next week membawakan hari yang lebih baik utk kiter semua ...this week was a roller-coaster of emotional ups and downs bagi adik beradik 30-something and i hope minggu depan will brings us more happy news ...upwards and outwards in every sense!

licin cam keli?

tadi si Ita jadi batu api ...dia soh Liz sembur aku sebab aku kata and i quote "susah nak mandikan baby sebab diorang licin cam keli" ...hahaha tapi dioarang tu marah aku tak bertempat ..bukan aku nak kata baby cam keli ..cuma aku guna perumpamaan mat salleh ...slippery like an eel ....aku kan mat salleh celup LOL even anak buah aku sendiri pun aku kata licin cam keli ok! takde pilih kasih punya ...

our ikan keli @ 7 month ...Al pun sibuk nak mandi ngan adik dia!

tapi seriously mmg aku tak reti pegang baby ..i would be comfortable if baby tu dah agak besar ...kalau boleh jalan sendiri lagi bagus LOL ....selalu nyer kalau kena pegang my nephews masa diorang kecik2 tu, pose aku akan kejung ...very unnatural ...

masa first jumpa Al ..dia baru one month and a few days masa nie ..sakit badan aku pas ambik gambar sebab badan kejung!

yang nie better sket ..sebab Al dah 5 month masa nie ...so badan boleh lentok!

and giliran airell plak ...sambil ambik gambar sendiri ..LOL

first time aku bawak dia gik shopping complex ...tapi guna baby carrier ...senang bawak tapi lenguh tulang!

tapi seriously, aku tak pernah mandikan diorang until they are older ....sebab badan cam EEL ....i.e. KELI  ...i think after 8 months baru aku berani nak mandikan rasa nyer ...tapi sekarang mmg dah kerja aku lah tu ..al akan tunggu mama to give bath ...LOL ...

Dalam Pantang/Confinement Part 3

I am in the hospital while writing this..the pead is doing her round check, thus I got to wait outside. Ngantuk sgt ni tahap cipan!

___________________________________

Malam semalam nightmare, i actually worked until very late tetiba rasa cam seram2, abg duan pulak outstation ke Rompin..penyudahnya, it was past midnite when i called bibik and requested her to accompany me (and Adib) inside my bedroom. ..pesan dia kalau dgr kite jerit, tlg kejutkan.

Tak sedar pukul berapa bibik dtg kejut.. "buk buk bangun" ...alhamdulillah...most of the time i was half awaked in my nightmare but i cant "raise" myself . Some call this "kena tindih"...macam tulah tak bernafas rasa..dah biasa dr sekolah lagi, entah jin apa ikut aku ni....That's my fear factor...takut sangat tidur sorang. Itu pun dah habis buka lampu, pun jadi jugak...doa jangan ceriterlah....i think i have read somewhere, scientifically, it is a sign of exhausation--i like to believe this than "kena tindih"...

Anyway back to the title , ...dalam 20 lebih hari of my pantang, i treat myself with hair relaxer which has been postponed during pregnancy.Reason being it was mentioned in the pregnancy website that hair treatment is not encouraged until the 3rd trimester, there is no scientific proof whatsoever but the concern is on the hair chemical. So I thought i wait until 36 week and more or less I did lah....just in a different shape! Lega my tarzan hair was finally gone :)

******seawal tidak akak sampai the hair salon--tak sempat lah hair dresser tu nak breakfast*******

I think that's the end of my "pantang" sequel...today is my 43 days after delivery so officially dah over.
Tak delah kang org nak komen heii dalam pantang lagi...Again lega..macam mengeliat di pagi hari arrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..

___________________________________________________

This afternoon, went to Megamall with Aimran to fetch Afi after his bowling session (school co-curriculum activity) and they "pau" me again --so this was our tea today...

By the way, this is my first tudung syria -- Aimran kata tembam sgt lah muka mummy pakai tudung ni....totally agree with him...nampak tak akak ada jerawat atas dahi...remaja sungguh kulit aku ni...at this age baru nak keluar...layan........................

Special Moments

Cun tak photo ni? Ej snap from inside the car masa tu nak drive masuk ke parking KLCC.
Last weekend we went back PD...sunday morning...kol 9 camtu we came to this place nak makan nasi lemak...tapi sampai je nasi lemak dah habis...terus la masuk restoran lain makan roti canai dengan tosey. Kat gerai nasi lemak ni...ayam masak merah dia terbaekk. Takde rezeki.
Lepas breakfast tak balik rumah terus...singgah pantai dulu...snap snap photo.

Pasangan remaja.
Alisya
Diorang konon nak main tenteng...tapi buat petak pun tak reti.
Petangnya pulak kami ramai ramai ke Giant baru kat Lukut. sebelum shopping...lepak minum kat kopitiam dulu.
my eldest brother pun joined us. masa kami nak keluar umah je...dia sampai with my sister in law...aku ajak dia ikut sekali ke Giant. Seronok lepak lepak makan ramai ramai cam ni...kalau adik beradik lain dapat ikut lagi best.
Shafiq memang tak tolak kalau di suruh berposing.
Tak sabar nak tunggu peluang balik PD lagi...lepak lepak...makan makan...gelak gelak. Layannn

Tasteless Dinner

Selalu posting pasal food semua pun "satanem" kan kata Fendi or finger licking good...ni nak cite pasal tasteless food kat satu restoren ni. They used to be alright setelah sepurnama tak pergi sekali tengok entah dah jadi apa....they have changed chef gamak nya.

Actually Duan ajak kite seafood kat Tanjung Lumpur-dia ada dinner with some colleaques sana, Kuantan punya seafood spot-- tapi dah cakap kat the boys nak gi East Coast Mall so malas nak tukar2--besides cam tak shiok nak join dinner orang...

This is my story of our tasteless dinner last nite...Just a note to all, ive lost my appetite for the past one to two week...macam boring ajer nak makan. Last nite, Adib took his pick , i just followed!

First of all, i made a wrong order...Adib asked for Mango snow sorbet, i ordered blackcurrant sorbet---bila sampai i was like eksen eksen cakap "dik, kite tak order ni, ni apa?"..the waitress jawap " ni blackcurrant sorbet"..Aimran pulak cepat menyampuk , "mummy, mummy yg order 115 instead of 116"...alamak...sorry ya dik and we laughed...kah..kah..kah...

The boys cakap Blackcurrant tu tak sedap...kite tak rasa...sebab ais kan---kite kan pantang!

Then Afi punya chicken chop...my god teruk sgt...nampak sauce dia tu..what is that? we looked at each other and laughed again...I took out my BB nak snap a picture...Afi terus tegur " mummy jangan tangkap lah buat malu ajer"...aku lagi ketawa..."kena lah mummy nak buat posting on lousy food"

Then afi tanya, "mummy nak try tak chicken chop dgn plain water, tak saucy langsung" and he laughed..even the fries pun tak sedap lemau macam hapa.....dalam pada tu habis jugak chicken tu...ku semangat anak aku...tak membazir , bagus lah tu , kan?

I ordered kuey teow ladna...Afi tolong pilih...Adib tried some and stopped, i had 2-3 feedings and stopped also......it was like wueekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... separuh pinggan terbiar, kalau ada Abah mmg kena marah lah...sukahati membazir, tak baik dong!

Pas tu tomyam noodles..it was hot....Aimran shared with Adib...Aimran complained jugak "orang ajak gi Secret Recipe makan tomyam kong nak jugak datang sini"....I had a sip entah apa rasa tak erti nak tafsir, i bet kat Thailand pun tak de tomyam macam tu...meremang bulu roma ku...lol

Penyudah nya lepas makan tu ..Afi, " mummy kite gi starbuck lah"..and we did...tapau dessert..

*********ni aksi kembar siam katanya****************

It was worst dinner ever......really tasteless but we had a great time laughing all night!!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Few weeks ago I bought for EJ the latest series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid...she finished reading the book within 2 days. Puji pujian cakap best bangat ceritanya. Then started singing for the rest of the series. Aku buat tak layan je...told her to read habis buku Sarah and Senduk dia tu dulu then baru beli buku baru. Tapi tadi masa ke Times Bookstore kat Pavilion nampak set ni terus beli. Since ada member's kad dapat diskaun. Most importantly, it is a very much cheaper beli set ni daripada beli yang loose and hard cover.
Kalau pergi bookstore, dia boleh duduk berjam jam kat situ...a good sign ke tak ni? Nanti biler dah teenager sikit...boring boring je boleh bawak dia ke sini...pastu daddy tunggu kat Chocolate Lounge. Apakah?
Daddy don't read...but mommy has to start reading...kan kan kan. LOL
Sebelum ke bookstore...dinner dulu kat teppanyaki...kat food court. This was our second time makan kat sini. Ej said...sedap bangat sampai dia ordered tambah...dok makan daging je la...nasi dia tak nak.

Selalunya makan Teppanyaki sayur toge je kan...kat sini ada sawi jugak. Tapi bawang putih goreng tu takde.
Macam tak sabar je muka memasing nak tunggu makanan.
Kat sini varities...beef aje ada beberapa jenis...ada sirloin, tenderloin, roll beef and mush room. Combo pun ada...campur beef, prawn, squid dan lain lain.
Pastu yang special lagi...ada gravy yang sedap. Ada jugak yang campur telur.
Ini yang we ordered. Pastu Ej ordered tenderloin steak. Personally I prefer makan kat sini as compared to Pepper and Lunch. Next time nak order combo lain pulak. Satanemmm.

Semalam my frens ajak lunch kat Bangsar...I agreed je sebab kat situ senang...masjid dekat. Lepas lunch aku boleh lari terus ke Masjid for solat jumaat. We went to Delicious. Mostly aku nampak orang ordered burger and speggetti...tapi sebab sehari sebelum tu dah makan speggeti...aku ordered nyonya kari laksa. OK jugak...sedap. Tapi yang member aku ordered yang lainnya...semua so so je.

Tapi Delicous ni famous for dessert. Tengok selectionnya pening terus tak tahu nak pilih yang mana. At last we decided to ordered yang kat bawah ni.
Aku pilih Macadamia Caramel Cheese Cake. Sedap melampau. Yang part Macadamia tu mengingatkan aku kepada Tiramisu kat Elexis. Garing dan rangup bersalut caramel. Next time datang sini...wajib order ni lagi.
Yang ni pulak...Tiramisu in glass...much better as compared to yang kat Meatworks. Satanemmm.
Yang ni presentation menarik tertarik da'bomb kan...tapi sayang...filing applelicious pie ni sangat dry...semua member aku pun tak suka. Tapi pastrynya sedap.

Delicious ni ada kat Bangsar Village, Mid Valley dan Jalan Tun Razak. Sesapa suka dessert boleh serbu kat sini...diorang ada set dessert for 2 person...RM59.90...then berbagai bagai selection of dessert boleh makan sampai kembung. Layannn.

Latest in my collection

I posted this on my fb wall " happiness is when u like the life u live-it's like health, u dont notice it until it deteriorates"

Abang fend kite dengan seikhlas hati tanya since when i cahnged the equation "happiness= money+shopping"...jahat sungguh...i am not that bad lah bro...sikit sikit ajer... :)

And another friend posted a comment saying "nothing is wrong if happiness is found in handbags and make up"..., ha..ha..ha...she read between the lines...LOL and that reminds me that i have 2 new handies which i have not posted here...and actually nor that i've used it! I just dont have that pregnancy glow , everything that i put on be it handbag etc just looks horrible in the mirror...so i kept the bags in the closet!

i) Coach Madison shoulder bag-

yes, at last...Lega rasa jiwa dan raga :)

Fend and Ejin, remember when i told you guys that Duan asked me what do i want for my last birthday and i answered " entahlah"...for that i got NOT A THING or NOTHING--well my husband is one of those who do not read between the lines... "A" kau cakap "A" lah tafsiran nya... Opps.s..he did MMS a Coach when he was outstationed though, but i turned down the offer... If it's a suprise i would accept it with love tapi since dah tunjuk biarlah akak pilih sendiri:D

So that was what i did during previous trip down to KL----

ii) Electric Blue Liz Clairborne -- ni on 70%, there were green, yellow and blue--i chose blue, for some reason i am so into electric blue for the past few months..macam terpanah mata!

I am yet to use both...i think i'll take the blue LC out this weekend lah...well, my dear friend is so right.. "we do find happiness in handbags"
teraaaaaaa for now :)

Biler Cuti

I was so looking forward for cuti umum...nak rehat rehat tak payah pergi kerja. Penyakit malas dah menyerang. LOL. Thank God ada cuti Thaipusam...and now I am looking forward for Hari Wilayah and CNY pulak. EJ lagi best...she will be having 9 days off from schooling.

Ej woke up early in the morning and quickly completed her homework. Ada udang sebalik mee...jangan tak tahu. Then she started singing to me her normal questions...mana nak pi jalan and all. Pastu siap buat request nak ke Sweet Chat nak makan pan cake durian. Aku pulak dah ada plan nak bawa Fid and her to Solaris. Aku diam diam je drive terus ke Solaris while Ej was thinking we were going to The Mines. Sampai je kat Solaris aku drop both of them kat depan restaurant The Meatwork sebelum aku ke basement parking.

Sempat la berposing sikit kat area Solaris ni...takde benda sangat nak cari kat sini kecuali restaurant je.

Restaurant ni katanya owned by Anak lelaki chef wan and Dato Sharizat Jalil. Masa kami makan tu Dato Sharizat and family ada kat situ sat at 1 table. Menu kat sini mostly steak and yang sewaktu dengannya. Lamb ada 2 choices je. Roasted chicken pun ada. Fish pulak Cod and apa entah...jarang kami order fish.
Ej ordered sparkling juice perisa passion fruit. Sedap katanya...sekejap je licin dia minum. Masa nak order tu...aku suruh EJ order steak...tapi dia tak nak...katanya dia akan order steak kalau makan kat Victoria Station je. Jom layan sekali lagi apa menu kami ordered...he he he...takde kejutan kan since semua dah tepek kat FB.
Potato Fandue...sedap...ada rasa daun parsley...kepingan daging tu sangat rangup...sedap.
Silap susun...dessert pulak terkeluar dulu...layannn. Fid yang nak Tiramisu ni...next time aku nak order creme brulee...ada juga parfait, ice cream and cakes.
Yang ni sikit sebab i ordered from Kid's selection. Junior steak. OK la rasanya.
Speggeti Cabonara ni sangat sangat cremy...cepat muak for those yang tak suka cheese.
Fid ordered ribs. I personally think this is 2nd best to Tony Romas. Servingnya besar. Puas makan.
I end the lunch dengan latte...sedap bangat latte ni....the right combination biler nak layan Tiramisu tu. Biler masuk FB masa dok sibuk nak load pictures makanan ni perasan yang Liz posted kat FB wall she was craving for coffee and Tiramisu 2 hours earlier. Macam aku pulak yang menunaikan keinginan dia tu.

Rasa tak puas lagi makan kat The Meatworks ni...rasa nak pergi lagi and try menu yang lain pulak. Nak tunggu Ejin datang bulan March...punya la lama lagi...tu pun tak pasti sempat ke tak. Kena la aku request orang tu belanja aku makan kat sini on my 25th Birthday nanti next month. Apakah?

Lepas dah kenyang memasing tak tahu nak pergi mana. Malas nak pi shopping malls sebab tahu orang mesti ramai. End upnya kami fetch Afiq and Aqif...bawa ke Tesco Ampang...bagi diorang main playground kat situ.
Mula mula je ghairah...pastu memsaing buat muka boring.
Afiq siap baring lagi. Memasing kan dah besar...mana seronok lagi main kat dalam ni...aku tgk pun rasa boring. Siap marah Ej sebab dia yang beria ia sangat nak main kat sini pastu buat muka boring.
Biler dah boring...diorang layan salesman ni main mind games tu...aku awal awal lagi cakap kat mamat tu tak nak and tak berminat. Knowing Ej yang hot hot chicken shit...buang duit je beli program mahal mahal tu pastu jadi white elephant and benda yang akan menyepahkan rumah.

Lepas tu kami ke Linda Onn chicken rice...minum minum je...sebab memasing kenyang. Ordered otak otak and tahu goreng je. Pastu saw stall ni ada jual Potato Twist...belikan untuk the kids. Bersungguh memasing makan.

Afiq yang happy dapat Potato Twist dia. Dia dapat paling besar.
Mulanya diorang makan kat luar...pastu panas...kami masuk balik ke stall tu.
Penuh Perasaan Afiq layan Potato Twist dia tu. Lepas tu hantar Aqif and Aqif balik...kami pun pulang ke rumah...rehat rehat tengok TV. Sabtu ni aku ada Sukan Yo...buat kat Puchong....macam budak sekolah lak ada sukan sukan...siap ada 4 groups ikut colour and aku masuk group Red...company aku ni happening semacam pulak...bulan depan lak ada dinner. Layannn.
