First of all, I gotta say this.... It's been days, perhaps weeks since I last blog, yea.
I guess I've been busy...yeah, busy with other stuffs like....FACEBOOK-ing!!
Not just FB-ing....but with Restaurant City and Barn Buddy.

I can sit long hours just catching up with other games available in FB. Crap!
I remember yesterday I sat too long till my back hurts and my ass went numb! Numb!!!
Seriously, I could even damage my eyesight if I go on like this every single day, in which I CAN! Off costttt.... Gosh, I sound like an Facebook addict! Oh well, who aren't these days, huh?

Everybody's into FB nowadays. People would be surprised if you don't have an FB account. You could almost get a 'shocked-face' response if they can't help it. Or you might get a 'lame-look' response. It depends on how you say "Nope, I dun have one" to their face.
And when you've said it, don't be ashamed to feel slightly guilty, coz you're missing all the fun.
HAH! GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!

Oh, thank God....

it's going to be another long weekend....Yaaay! Another good break that we've been waiting for.
Soon, it will be August again.

Music to my ears...

Love the idea of cruising in my car....while listening to PCD songs....and let the melodies sweep my mind off the stress.....

Hush Hush (I will survive),

Halo,

I'm Done,

Happily Never After,

Space,

Until U Luv U.

I just love to play them over and over and over again. Good thing I bought the whole album.

Sharing some thoughts with you

I came across a forwarded e-mail with thoughtful contents that I'd like to share. Please read it quietly and give some thoughts...

To realize the value of a sister/brother:

Ask someone who doesn't have one.

To realize the value of ten years:
Ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize the value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize the value of one-second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more whenYou can share it with someone special.

And the final question....

To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE.

Day 4:
Sunday...feeling a whole lot better than yesterday. I woke up and realized that the strain on my throat is gone. The cut on the side of my mouth is still there.

I checked in the mirror...the white patch is there still.

Alhamdulillah, the pain is gone now. My appetite is slowly improving. I just need to continue with the antibiotics.

Day3:
Saturday, I woke up and had a hot shower. Washed my face & ended up with a cut at the edge of my left mouth. Hmm...sabar saja walaupun padih. Tepikir jua, how am I gonna teach or even speak kalau inda dapat buka mulut basar2?!

I had another restless night, pusing kanan, pusing kiri, garu sana, garu sini. But it was a li'l better. At least it wasn't as excruciating to swallow. Hence, the pain is still there.

So, I got out of shower and showed the rashes to hubs. The matter did look worse, so I decided to see another doctor. This time, a private clinic, Dr Asri. Ughhh....it was itchy all over again.

With the boss's permission, I drove myself to Serusop. The consultation went well which the doctor claimed that the rashes I'm complaining about is actually an allergy reaction to the 'Ibuprofen' medication.
Great!! And the throat infection is apparently.....Tonsillitis.
I paid up $55 for antibiotics & allergy tablets.

I'm glad that I went for a second opinion. But I should've gone there first thing.

Somehow, the itch is still here to stay. I just want it to go away......

Down with a throat infection

Right now, I'm dealing with a throat infection. It's really excruciating, I tell you.
This is my first experience of throat infection.



Day 1:
Wednesday, I sensed that a sore throat is coming. I wanted to get some lunch, but my tongue felt tasteless.

I had a restless sleep. It was hard and painful for me to swallow my own saliva. I slept with my sweater on.


Day 2:
Thursday morning, a headache, a major sore throat...too much to handle. So I went to the doctor who explained that I'm actually dealing with a throat infection.

I was startled, wondering how and where did I get it from. He explained that it's all a common thing now as infections are going around easily at this time.

The whole waiting-for-turn-&-medication process took me 3 hours!! By the time we were done, it was 11-ish.

I crushed into bed. The lack of sleep did not help at all. I tried to get some in the afternoon, but the swallowing kept me up the whole time.

How does it feel? Like a stone stuck to your throat and everytime you swallow, it gets in the way.



I had a restless night again yesterday. The pain is still there. Apart from that, I have a minor rash on my neck, shoulder, back and tummy.

I googled and found out that the rashes may have caused by the infection.


It has been one and a half day since I last bath. So, I may need to hit the shower and freshen up a bit. My face has gotten all greasy.

Hubs has been so wonderful to take good care of me, preparing me with rice porridge and handing me the medication.

I hope and wish that the pain resides today coz I need to go to work tomorrow. And I hope I don't end up with another restless night later.

Oooooooh.... Lamanya

....aku inda update!!

School has re-opened its door on Monday. And, start Monday atu jua guru-guru sudah dijadualkan untuk bertugas mengambil temperature kanak-kanak & mengambil tindakan selanjutnya jika ada terdapat kanak-kanak yang mengalami suhu badan yang tinggi daripada 38.

Murid pun sentiasa diingatkan untuk menjaga kebersihan diri masing-masing & mencuci tangan.

Langkah berjaga-jaga ani akan dijalankan sepanjang hari waktu sekolah bagi memantau kesejahteraan seluruh warga sekolah dan mengelak daripada jangkitan virus merbahaya H1N1.

Alhamdulillah, my turn was this morning. Everything went well and smoothly. I came as early as before 6.30 and we took turn menyenaraikan nama murid & suhu badan, and menampal sticker sebagai tanda murid sudah melalui pemeriksaan suhu badan.

My next duty is this Saturday.

Doll Domination 2.0

Have you heard of their version of 'I will survive'?? If you haven't, you can check it out here. Taken from the album Doll Domination 2.0, it includes Jai Ho (unfortunately that's my least favourite!)

The ITCH is still here...

Happy Tuesday morning....
I'm sitting at my working desk in the staff room. Been blog-hopping since morning. It's now 12.15 noon. I've been like sitting here....surfing all morning....had 2 cups of nescafe and teh tarik.

What shall I do in the afternoon? Probably do some withdrawal and stop over at Seri Qlap Mall to pick up some items.

I miss my mom, my dad, nephew & niece. Haven't seen them since I got back from KL. Had to go over this self-quarantine...but from my family saja. Hehehe...

So, I'm sorry to my sistas & family. That being said, the shopping gifts (or 'oleh-oleh') may need to stay with me for the time being. Banyak plg yang kan d bagi ani...Tahan-tahan tah saja dulu ah. Kesiiiiian.

Mind you, I still have this urge (or I rather call it 'itch') to SHOP!! Can't help it. It just gets to me when I shopped non-stop for more than 3 days last week.
My mind is silently searching for SALE labels on stores. Eventhough inda bejalan-jalan, I did some window blog-shopping....

May Allah be with you, Michael.

I love this version of Michael Jackson's songs medley made by AJ Rafael (courtesy of youtube).

Listening to 'You are not alone' and 'She's out of my life' simply takes my mind to the memories of MJ. His death is a sudden to all of us.... Personally, to me he seemed immortal. He didn't look like his age. It's mainly because he's remembered for his lovely music and extremely great performances.

I remembered his last words during a press conference announcing his supposedly last stage performance planned on end of July. He seemed sincerely certain that it would be his last concert.

Now that he's really gone, it just feels unbelievable to learn the truth.

He's out of our lives, I dunno whether to laugh or cry. And it cuts like a knife, he's out of our lives....

I stopped by at Charles & Keith to get myself a nice pair of flat shoes last Sunday. Boy, didn't I spend a looooong time there till poor hubs had to wait outside.

So I actually spent the first piece of $20 voucher (out of 5 pieces altogether, to be exact! A big thanks to my sistas for my bday gift).

Don't you just love their store. They have the coolest totes...the hippest shoes & sandals. I actually kinda wanted to get 2 pairs but decided to wait till next month....or better yet, save it for a Hari Raya shoes!!!

NO! These are not the flats I was talking about, okay.

Anyhow, we've been watching DVDs every night lately. We caught up with some action movies, comedies and a couple of chick flicks, like: 12 Rounds; Passengers; A Night At The Museum; Bedtime Stories; Bride Wars.

Maybe we're gonna watch some Korean movies tomorrow night, I dunno.

All I know is it's late....it's past mid-nite and I can't sleep....

random thoughts & craving

3 more days till I'm off for a holiday getaway. The downside is I shall return by Sunday. That means, I will have to start work again straight away on Monday...without at least one day break.
I didn't see it coming in the first place. It seemed like a good offer then.

However, I slept late last night and had thoughts about:

1) an idea for a sisterly-home-business

2) random ideas for Dad's gift...a set of studs & cufflinks (to go with his baju melayu for Hari Raya), an engraved pen, a traveller-handy bag (or 'man-bag', like how my sis puts it!)

3) the important thing I need to do today which is to get my lesson plan done for next week.
.
.
.
Hubs is pretty busy himself since morning. And I actually gave him a hand with his ABM as well....snipping & cutting this and that....pasting them up together.

Thus, I'm still here blogging away my thoughts rather than typing my LP.

Oh, btw, I'm kinda tais liur for rice and curry, rite now!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day

to my one and only Daddy

Hj. Abd. Ghani Hj. Metali

&

my father-in-law (on behalf of hubs)

Hj. Kampong Hj. Ibrahim

From both of us:

Your daughter/-in-law

& son/-in-law

Quizzes oh quizzes....

I went through with a couple of quizzes on Facebook. Here's what I found....

Taneya just got their Japanese Name!
I just got my Japanese name. It is Chiko: arrow/pledge
.
.
Taneya just got their Korean Name!
I just got my Korean name. It is Kyung Soon: Honored and mild!
.
.
Taneya just got their Arabic Name!
I just got my Arabic name. It is Rahimateh: Grace!
.
.
Taneya just got their Dusun Name!
I just got my Dusun name. It is Tambaig!
.
.
Taneya took the First Impressions: What's yours? quiz and the result is Friendly!
You like the work the crowd. You have no problem meeting new people, smiling a bit, and introducing yourself if no one else will. You're the socialite, and the crowd is your stage.
.
.
Taneya took the What's your car color? quiz and the result is Silver!
Clean and civil: You like to be able to enjoy life without any pretenses. Attention isn't the thing for you, and you'd rather be away from the limelight in case something bad happens. Plus, silvers clean, and that rings all sorts of bells for you.
.
.
Taneya took the Why do people secretly fear you? quiz and the result is impossible to beat in an argument!
Look, when it comes to the verbal arena, you're impossible to beat. You're just too damn good at it. Hell, even lawyers fear arguing with you: You're too intense!

Just sharing one lovely Indonesian tune with all of you, blog-hoppers....

It took me weeks to actually found this particular number. It's been played on KristalFM lotsa times, but I was always too busy to actually sit down and google it.


Sakit Sendiri -- by Cindy Bernadette feat. Gege

Ada yang kurasa dari dirimu
Kau kini menjauh, apa salahku
Apakah ku menyakiti hatimu
Katakan padaku, jangan membisu

Kau kini berbeda jauh
Dari [lelaki/wanita] yang dulu membuatku jatuh cinta
Siapa yang telah merubahmu
Untuk meninggalkanku kasih


Chorus:
Bila engkau harus pergi
Tinggalkan saja ku sendiri
Jangan bilang masih cinta
Kau hanya membuatku menangis

Untuk apa bilang sayang
Buat hatiku makin susah
Pergilah kasih pergi saja
Biar aku sakit sendiri


Walaupun harus berpisah
Takkan kulupakan engkau
Yang pernah ada di dalam hidupku
Tak mungkin aku memaksa
Kalau memang cinta t'lah sirna
Mungkin ini yang terbaik

Started playing this game on Facebook. Do I like it? It's pretty addictive! Your character will be stronger once you have expand your posse/house member. You gain lotsa accessories & clothes when you involve yourself in events that are offered.

Eseeeehhh...aku ah, posting psl game saja masani. Maklum, CUTI!! Woooohoooo.... Main game saja tah.

Remembering 19/6/1999

Thank you....mostly for the memories.

As of today, it will be exactly a decade...10 years since 'he' passed away....a son, a very good friend, a partner and a brotherly figure to some of us. But his memories shall live on to those who have known him.

I could still remember the day it happened. Everything went so fast. It felt like the sky fell down on me.... You were supposed to meet me in the evening. You 'left' me at noon.

But, I forgive you....and I thank you for sharing a part of your life. I moved on. It was hard but I survive....and I am stronger because of it.

Thank you, eventhough you're no longer here with us.

Business goin' smoothly

It drives me crazy if I can't get through to Facebook and watch my restaurant making sure that business goes smoothly.

My gourmet point is currently 82671 -- Level 19.

We offered & sold the previous Samsung 32-inch to the sister-in-law.....aaaaaand.....

replaced it with...

a Series 4!!

I just can't help myself. I took the best offer there was.

We turned up at Yayasan and wanted to replace it with a Series 3 at the beginning. But it turned out that they only have one last piece...which is the display item. I rolled my eyes when the salesman said it's a good offer considering they'd give a 5% less.

Barang display.....brapa jam sudah kana pakai....

Since they have new stocks for Series 4, and it's just a slight difference in price...I said why not!!

I must say, it's better than the previous one.

One could never have too much tv....or bags....or shoes....etc....etc.....etc...

I can't wait till Tuesday....
Why Tuesday? Coz I'm gonna be sitting for another exam.

Oh yeah... and right after the F.R. exam, this is what I'm gonna do.

I would go straight to Coffee Bean and get myself an XXXL sized Ice-blended Mocha!!

I have been cutting off my caffeine since last month....god knows for how many weeks/days now.
I don't crave for it....just that I'm longing for the bitter taste of strong coffee.... and the smell is simply too tasty to ignore.

Pis bradah!

Munique with her 'pis pis'....

Bucu with sengih-sengih....

Danish is jangul-jangul....

and abang with 'klik klik'.

Smile everybodeh...walaupun di hujung dunia.

Up, up and upgrading

You may have noticed Restaurant City is upgrading their system ever so often now. I did complain now and then, thus always looking forward to the newest items to decorate my restaurant.

Macam hari ani saja, I bought that flat screen tv + music player + red curtains + another white wall divider + a vase of red roses.

Aaaaand, if you happen to stop by my restaurant, you can actually listen to the tune I just bought today for 8000 coins. It's called The Fiesta Brothers.

Listening to the tune makes me wanna do cha-cha-cha and chicken-dance to it.

Chicken-dance like the one in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. .... when Monica got a huge turkey stuck on her poor head!

I did mention dat I purchased something during the weekend, yea.

We...... well, more like ME... always wanted a TV in the master bedroom. So, I don't need to drag the mattress to the living room just to watch DVDs anymore.

And so, we got these DVD player & 32-inch TV to upgrade our bedroom.

I guess, the holiday is the appropriate time to catch up on the long outdated list of DVD movies....

That being said, mesti rajin bali DVD ni. I wonder, ada tampat DVD rental kah??? Sekali liat jua saja ah.

Heeeeshhh....

Exam makin ampir... Tapi, asal saja start buka notes, mengantuk. Buka saja notes... bilak muka surat....inda batah, layu tia mata.......ujung2nya.....belayar zzzzzzzzzzzz....

Exam 3 jam. Kalau jawapan atu pakai taip kan bisai. Inda sangal menulis.

Air-con lagi full blast. Gerenti baku jari tangan. Payah tah lagi kan menulis.

.

.

.

Oh, btw.... I'd love to congratulate a good friend of mine, Umi Khadijah who has finally and officially merangkap title MOTHER setelah selamat melahirkan anak perempuan (2.7kg) semalam. Alhamdulillah.... Tahniah, Umi & Aziz!

Marking mid-year exam papers.....DONE!

Next, ...... prepare myself for G.O. exam....12th June...this FRIDAY!

After that..... F.R. exam....16th June, Tuesday....during the school holiday!!

Today, the plan is....

get a shower, pronto!
.
.
.
drive to Hua Ho Manggis Mall... and hopefully purchase something hubs & I've personally longing for. Hopefully it's today. I'll let you know what it is. *winks*
.
.
.
Plus, I need to 'merait' my exam papers, laju2 before tomorrow!

Hectic weekend ~~

This post is long overdue, I realized that. If you don't agree, you will eventually.

Soooo, here goes.
Md. Haziq Zul Danish just turned 6 last week. I simply don't remember which day of the week that we actually took these pictures.

We had a small family gathering over at my in-laws. Food were spread at the centre of the room. We took out the laptop and broadband and got online with Munique.

Video-calling with the birthday boy, Danish.

Munique, kan mau jua join begambar sama kami di rumah! Kesian, kan.
.

.

.

.

And here's a recap of what happened over the weekend.....last week, that is. (Told ya it's long overdue).

Thursday, 28th May ~~ Checked in and stayed a night over at Rizqun hotel.

Friday, 29th May ~~ Checked out of Rizqun and reminisce over the cozy bed and the good night sleep I had.


.
.
.

.

Saturday, 30th May ~~ Rushed over to tambing to catch the last boat to Temburong. There was a major traffic jam all over bandar especially at the drop off zone. But we made it just in time.

Oh man, punya la ramai di tambing. Clash lagi pasal long weekend, cuti on Monday...hmm...banyak urg balik kampung.

Ngam tah lagi both counters full house sudah, tepaksa tah squeezed into seats buat muka seposen.

.

.

.

Come night time, mom & dad alum jua sampai2 dari beliun. We were starving then, so we ate over at this restaurant in Bangar. Order nasi ayam pun nada aying sup...abis!

Balik rumah, inda belaku kan change clothes or mandi. All our bags were in dad's car!

Ampit jua membuat bunga talur di rumah uncle sebalah, buat2 nunggu drg sampai. Atu pun around 10-ish.

~Sabrina~

Oh, and I did try out the new Telbru broadband, but it didn't work AT ALL due to lack of network, I guess. Damn it!

.

.

.

.

.

Sunday, 31st May ~~ Jemputan kahwin over at my cousin just next door. The weather was kinds' cloudy, but the heat was overwhelming. And among the crowds there, I bumped into an old ex-classmate from ugama school. But I still can't figure out his name..... He's the photographer, btw. Good to see old friends!

At 3-ish, we were already on the boat going back to BSB. This time, inda asak-asak and more space. Sigh..thank God.

Plus... Monday nada school!!! Cuti sempena ABDB or RBAF. Aaaah, bless!

.

.

.

.

.

Here are some random images taken during the day....

Irfan with his 'supposedly-pecky-pecky' hair, if you know what I mean.

~Irfan & Tata @Sabrina~ (Notice his pecky-pecky hair? It was good at the beginning saja).

"Anty Chicher..."

"Aaah, apa?"

"Abang mau emmmm 'timbak'." (pointing to my camera).

"Timbak??"

"Anty bagi abang, abang mau timbak."

"Jantah, barat ni.... Abang bediri sana, Anty saja 'timbak' abang."

Muka Irfan lapas kana 'timbak'. LOL

Inda kurang kiap ni. Angat nyamu!

Jantah malu-malu nah.

Hmmmph... Part ani yang inda siuk ni. Aku yang nada masuk!

Okay, ani bukan pasal shocked or what-so-ever (not coz ada yang bebau). But actually, taken right after doa.

Posing..posing...aku jua yang inda masuk.

~Sisters (bride & bride's maid)~

I like her make-up and the whole outfit. She looks G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S!

(~singing Fergie's song~).

Selamat Pengantin Baru to my lady cousin.

Tahniah kerana sampai ke jinjang pelamin. Semoga berkekalan hingga akhir hayat.

~~~~~ END ~~~~~

Oh please...

I'm sooooooooo sick of hearing the word 'FANTASTICAL' being used openly...on radio, especially. Do you get what I mean?

And to link it to 'Hello Kitty' in Brunei.....
C'mon... I'm sure there are more suitable...or better yet, appropriate word, for that matter... that doesn't sound like they're offering 'male reproductive glands' to fans of Hello Kitty!!

Get it already??!!!

I still love this song

And as much as I'm no close fan of Jacqueline Victor, I like her version even more. No offence, Karen White.


SUPERWOMAN - Originally by Karen White

Early in the morning
I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking 'bout me
We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurtin' so deep
I've got my pride,
I will not cry
But it's makin' me weak

**Chorus:
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner
Will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You like to think that I'm just crazy
When I say that you changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride, I will not cry
Still I can't help but care

**Chorus

Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you through good and bad times
But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me

**Chorus

If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hooHoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I need love
I need just your love

**Chorus

Happy 60th!

Back in the days, these are the kinda vehicle they ride on. In America mostly, I suppose. Apparently, I'm trying to relate my mom's birth year.

Mummy was born on 3rd June 1949.

Happy 60th birthday to my mummy, Hjh Napsiah Idrus Leong.

Semoga Allah sentiasa melindungi dari penyakit dan bahaya. Dan diberi keberkatan yang berpanjangan. Amiin ya rabbal alamin....

I could've given her that mug, but instead, we decided on giving her an authentic Bonia tote for 200++ bucks. I hope she likes it. I know she will if she knows how much its worth.

I + S x handful = Exhaustion!

Was out today with my sistas and nephew & niece. All I can say is...goooosssh. They're a handful!! Especially the nephew.

Sampai saja di rumah, I felt totally exhausted. Irfan had tears right from the start....dari rumah, dalam kreta, di Hua Ho Manggis, di Soon Lee Lambak, and then in the car again...and last sekali dapan rumah....until dalam rumah. Aying mata tah ganya dari awal. Payahnya kah control, Tuhan saja tau.

He was sooo close to jumping off from the top of the escalator! Heeeshhh... I almost strangle him on de spot! Banar tah. Baik jua ada Uncle San giving a helping hand. Haiyaaaa...

My nephew's like overdose gula...not just sugar rush...more like stoned!

I think ah, bek tah sebulan sekali saja bejalan ani. Atu pun ikut mood ku la.

A note to my besty

I would like to express my personal congrates to my besty (who always has been dear to me) Lynn Seruji

for her engagement to her fiance,

Jaafar Musa.

I wish you both the best and have a great journey ahead towards your wedding date.

I'm pleased and greatly relieved that they've now moving forward to wed after so many years.

You guys are truly meant for each other, no doubt.

I'm happy to have shared and come to know Lynn personally, for she's very understanding, open-minded and a great listener.

Love,

~Taneya~

The hiking today was cancelled due to wet weather which started around noon. So we stayed in till 2.

Still planning on whether to check-in somewhere tomorrow night.

This week's schedule would be attending a cousin's wedding reception in Temburong, probably staying a night during the weekend. Oh and I almost forgot. My besty, Lynn is getting engaged on Sunday too. I'm not sure if I can make it, tho'. Didn't expect the date to clash.

The good thing is it will be a long weekend since Monday is a public holiday (in lieu of 31st May).

Tomorrow I shall be out in the afternoon for a facial appointment. Pimples are beginning to emerge by itself, perhaps the lack of sleep & nap I'm getting. (I blame Restaurant City for that!)

I was out with hubs tonite in search of a birthday gift for dear lil' Danish. So, we went to Soon Lee at Batu Satu and found this nice little corner where they sell loads of kid's stuffs on 1st floor. We decided on getting him a Ben-10 themed stuffs: a watch, a set of stationary & a pencil case.

I should remind myself to always go there for children's gifts.

Hey, it's almost midnite! No wonder aku mengantuk... Zzzzzzzzzz....

Buzy bee

This week is gonna be a hectic one. Been out almost every afternoon now, what's with picking up photocopied notes regarding GO/FR and doing personal errands.

Like this afternoon, I had an appointment over at Emelle Salon and Spa (located at Melabau Complex in Serusop) to do a couple of 'personal beauty stuffs'.

Ira-the-beautician has now opened her own salon and I personally will try her promotional services, like the Balinese massage for only $25 (1 and half hour). And, hair creambath+shoulder, arm massage for only $15.

Her new place is located exactly next to Aiana Restaurant.

Ohhh, I'm sooo gonna try her massage!

I'm kinda thinking of checking into a hotel, but can't exactly decide either to stay at Rizqun or Empire hotel. Empire sounds too pricey but surely worth it. Rizqun, on the other hand, sounds like fun where I can just go down for window shopping...or rather 'menyukat bangunan'.

Tomorrow, however, our staffs will be going out to do some hiking. Where else kalau bukan Bukit Mentiri which I've never set foot on walaupun tiap-tiap hari melintas and ampir dari rumah. Unbelievable, rite. Should've...and the opportunity has yet to come!

I hope the weather would be wonderful with less sun/heat, mudahan cloudy all the way and mudahan inda ujan. I'm thinking of taking the camera out with me.

Oh, gotta check my restaurant!!

Happy birthday to my big sis, Yenny who turned 34 today.

Semoga dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki dan sentiasa di bawah lindungan Allah. Amiiin...

P/s: I hope you like the table lamp we got for you! Good for your new home.

Feeling mellow...

I just love this slow number by Lemar. Used to listen to it before dozing of to dreamland...

Another one of my fave is 'Time to grow'. Go google the lyrics and tunes sometimes, and you'll get what I mean.
(Simply click the song title if you haven't heard of it already).

Lemar - 'What About Love?'

What if I took my time to love you?
What if I put no one above you?
What if I did the things
That really mattered?
What if I ran through
Hoops of disaster?

No one would care if
We never made it
We're in this alone
So why don't we face it
There is no room to
Blame one another
We just need time to
Forgive each other

[Chorus]
What about love?
What about feeling?
What about all the things that make life worth living?
What about faith? What about trust?
And tell me baby...what about us?

How can I give this
Love a new beginning?
How can I stop the rain?
It's never ending
How do I keep my soul believing?
Memories of how we Should be keep calling

I'll take the rivers rise
I'll take the happy times
I'll take the moments of disaster

Addicted to Restaurant City!

This game on Facebook is addictive. Every single day hubs and I would get online just to check on our restaurants. We were like...

Oi...cek estoran ku!
Awu, nih mencek jua ni.

A few minutes after that....

Bah, aku lagi main estoran eh.
Eh, abang dulu. Karang tah, kan nyusun meja lagi ni.

Eseh...hmm. Seriously, I know they're virtually ours, but it's tempting...from the money, the employees, and to the extent of designing the whole layout of the restaurant. It's all virtual business.

This is the new interior of my diner. I wish they've a bar counter that I can serve customer directly. At the moment, I've 3 cooks and 3 waiters. And I'm on Level 12.

This is hubs 'garai'. Bisai garai ah, macam kuil tapikong. Festive lagi sulnya. Nice combination of green and pink. Double thumbs up!!

And here is the interior which he designed all by himself. At the moment, he has 2 cooks and 2 waiters. He's now on Level 7. He's catching up real fast, y'know!! I almost regret for introducing him to restaurant city. Cheh!

Let's vamp the universe!

This is my vampire avatar. Devilish and super-sexy!! I call her Kat Von D partly coz I personally love and miss Kat on Miami Ink.

I've been busy...busy playing online games mostly on Facebook, that is.

So I finished attending taklimat over at MoF. We're supposed to have another afternoon session, but it was cancelled then. And so, I've been spending time alone waiting for hubs to come home.

It's 7-ish and he's still out! Whatever is he doing. What's keeping him?! He's been out since morning, for God's sake!

Come home already, man.... Lapar eh menunggu...haiyaaaaa....Abaaaaaang! Joli kah?! Inda membawa eh. Heh!!

Proud of hubs

Hubs officially finished his TP last Saturday and shared a nice and simple farewell ceremony with his other TP colleagues from UBD. I listened attentively to what he had to say when he got home. I'm happy...glad...and relieved that everything went so well. Now, all he needs to wait for is his graduation day.

That very day, he had a call regarding his new workplace. Turned out he'll be teaching at Serusop religious school, starting Monday. I'm not that happy when I found out he'll be teaching in the afternoon. :-( That means, we won't be spending time together on week days... Sucks!!

Today, I got back from work to a quiet home... I felt lonely. I waited long hours for hubs to come home. *Sigh*

Nevertheless, I feel content over everything that he has gone through what's with continuing his study, learning and teaching new things and going all the way to getting a degree in the end.

I never said it in person, but I'm so proud with his achievement, and that I know he did it all for himself.

So, 2009 shall be a special, eventful and fruitful year for hubs as he turns 30. I'm proud and glad that we're in the same boat.

Oh wow...it's been sooo long since I last blog, yea.

So, here are the late updates.

The AF7 results and my personal first impressions as I watched the show... Please don't take it personally.

1st place - HAFIZ (Yaaay!!)

2nd place - ARIL (Hmm...)

3rd place - AKIM (Awww, sucks! Should've gotten 2nd place).

4th place - YAZID (*roll eyes*)

5th place - ISMA (Yay! Serves her right!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had a really nice Thai massage last night at Kang Comfortzone. It was excruciating when she started to push her weight as I lay facedown on the mattress. I could feel my face turned red and my body just gasped for air!! I hate that part.

I shall put a big reminder on this week.

I'll be attending another F.R. (Financial Regulation) morning/afernoon session on 20th (Wednesday) and 21st May (Thursday). Venue: Kementerian Kewangan, Berakas.

Oh man, I'm just not into going out of work to attend the sessions. I don't mind going in the afternoon, but I don't feel at ease just being out there when I should be in class. And I always find myself drifting away thinking about the kids. Now, that bugs me!
