Cuppa Cuppa

Just got back from the NRD (JPN) building. Went there to amend some documents regarding my workers' passport application. My bad. If I have arranged & settled everything earlier, I could have collected all the passports before I leave for Kolumpur. I learned from my mistake; never will I ever procrastinate important things as such in the future. Kalau ndak serik juga, sila duku kepala sendiri.

Since I was already at the building, I took the chance to replace my current damaged MyKad. Regardless the long queue & ocean of people waiting for their names to be called. The process took less than an hour to finish. Alhamdulillah. Kali ni Aku puji efficiency kakitangan kaunter JPN Sabah ini kali. All counters are open to serve as well. One huge problem though, my face on the new card is gonna be the hideous pic I've ever had in my entire life! I ain't kidding. With puff up cheeks, tudung serabai & most of all; unprepared moi to be photographed! If it's not because of the 2 elderly waiting for their turn behind me, I would definitely have force the counter-man to retake my pic. I freaking look like a bloody fatty fugitive. Chop! Aku version OMG-what-a-pretty-cute-lass lah tapinya.

Done with my things, I met the Graham's at the visa application section. Few documents needed were missing hence the big sister needs to complete everything before they could proceed with the application. 2 days going back & fro...just for the sake of getting Stu & Maya's visas done. And I considered myself lucky for I learned about the process through her.

IF I were to marry a foreigner *note the word IF, people*, I have to get back to Malaysia a.s.a.p to register whatever it is that need to be registered. Else, I'll become the most bighearted generous donor to the government because of the fines I have to pay. Procedures pening lalatkan kepala gue. Aduhai kunun ada hati kau mau kahwin foreigner lah? Hampas ada.

Not going out anywhere tonight. I was thinking of a movie date with mother but I gotta ask her first. From what I've read in the net, Crowe's latest film; The Next Three Days sounds pretty appealing to me. I've finished my houseworks last night so I hope mother would agree with my suggestion. If plan A fails, I'll proceed with plan B then. That is to continue watching Harry Potter previous series through the lappy. No dinner though because I've swallowed enough carbs & fats for today. A cuppa shall be my only company.

Entry yang kucar kacir

Few days back I stumbled upon my cousin’s status update in facebook. She said “Kurang sudah ensemboi sekarang”. In which ensemboi stands for handsome maybe good looking boy. I can’t recall the exact line but I am sure that’s her main point.

Teenagers. Macam aku dulu. Dapat yang muka handsome, harus bangga sikit. What’s more kalau sang cowok itu hit carta glamour di sekolah. Gila point bertambah²! Although some might say, rupa paras bukan ukuran. Yeah right. Tapi tipu kalau first impression ndak main peranan. Kau akan rasa bontot kembang lebey sikit saat terdengar bunyi² boyfriend kena puji, kan? And aku guarantee, bila kau introduce boyfriend muka nan ado to ur friends & they went like “Ohh so this is he” dengan muka langsung tiada sirna excited...sila potong semua jari jemari aku IF u say u did feel nothing. Numb as in unresponsive to the feedback. Biasalah, rasa tercabar & sedikit malu. I have to admit, I used to be in that phase before.

As the age increases or u could say as I get older...perception towards men change gradually. I don’t favour the idea “I feel bless & definitely the happiest lass in the world when I dated a handsome guy” any longer. My experiences have taught me more about life. I no longer see men the way I see them years back. In terms of perspective is what I meant.

Handsome good looking men will always attract any women attention. That I never will deny. But look alone ensure nothing to the future. Cuba try test bawa cowok ganteng loh ke mall...pilih² lah barang sebiji dua, later tayang muka cowok itu ke kaunter & brag to the cashier how ‘pretty’ ur boyfriend is. U really think u’re gonna walk out from mall holding the paper bags containing the things u picked earlier? Nah...angan mat jenin adalah kot.

Muka handsome is just a bonus. Duit banyak juga bonus. Semua berguna di dunia jak. Ndak boleh masuk kantung amalan untuk dihitung di akhirat sana. Aku ni bukan dalam kategori baik...jauh sekali mau hit level solehah. And tahu, wanita baik untuk lelaki yang baik.

Oh yeah, aku 'rindu' pasangan hidup yang baik. Mahu lelaki yang baik. And who doesn't? Mahu lelaki yang boleh bentuk aku jadi 'orang'. Yang mahu sama² bercinta kerana Dia. Yang mahu menuju & cinta Pencipta Pemberi Nikmat...instead of falling in love with the nikmat(s) given.

I read from a book I bought sometime ago...untuk dapat yang soleh, bersedialah jadi yang solehah. Sebabnya jelas...seperti aku, lelaki soleh mestilah mahu perempuan yang 'boleh dibuat life partner'. Yang memang ada ciri² tulang rusuk kiri yang hilang itu. Sibuk mencari yang soleh...sedangkan diri terumbang ambing having no intention to change & evolve. Haruslah hampas.

Awal Muharram is approaching soon. Like the previous years, I've set few resolutions for myself. It's more to personal aim & target actually. Tiada kaitan dengan azam ndak mau makan nasi setahun tu ya. Itu azam dunia semata². In the list, still ada few yang sangat jiwa kacau malas gaban untuk dilaksanakan. There's always obstacles & hurdles. Yes, alasan lagiii. Part paling best, keinginan tu kureng untuk tempuhi segala onak duri to achieve what I aim for. Sendiri punya salah ok.

Will try to work harder this time. Untuk tick list yang sudah dibuat. More efforts shall be made. Struggling for something worthwhile not only will make u proud of urself but it's one of the way to present to The Creator your appreciation for His Grace & Mercy. Insya Allah.

My all-time favorite song from Hijjaz.

Never will I be as remarkable a Sumayyah. But her determinations to uphold Islam could be of great example to me. Insya Allah.

Sunset-ing

I've set a resolution early this year...that is to spend my Sunday to the utmost. Regardless what I do, as long as I get to go out from the house & breathe the fresh air outside.

It's also one of the best way to destress the mind after working not so hard on the weekdays. Yesterday, the weather was being nice to me. Although it drizzled on my way to the beach that evening...amazingly it only lasted for less than 15minutes. Alhamdulillah.

Had tea with cousins at Tg Aru 2^nd beach. Decided to catch the sunset before heading back home. Unless menses on cycle, I've set myself to be home right after dusk. Before dusk lagi bagus but normally memang tengah² Maghrib tu aku sampai rumah. Balik hujung² Maghrib...nanti mengangkut bersama si Laknat(s) pulang ke rumah.

Upon arrival. The cousins were there earlier than moi.

With Ari or was it Ade. Lantak pi, janji I was with 1 of the twins.

Twins paling jajal *nakal / naughty* dalam dunia. Comel jak pose aku, boleh pula mata kena cover. Hampas!

The twins' elder brother, Adam Isaac.

The not-a-child-anymore cousins, continued the evening at the 2^nd beach restaurant.

Clickaholics us. It's in the gene, so blame our parents.

Pokok kelapak.

Nia said this pic reminds her of Madagascar. Oh yeah, like u ever been there kan.

Main reason I love lepak-ing there; apart from the breathtaking view...is their cheeseburger. But lately rasa burger itu semakin nan ado. They USED to served super mouthwatering cheeseburger!! Kenapa harus berubah rasa? Bah, emo tetiba.

And later, the not so little bro & his little in size partner; joined us.

Bergerak pulang. Oh yeah, we do have gimbaran. Wakakakak.

I lurve this!!!! Subhanallah...

p/s Nabi SAW umpamakan perempuan ini seperti pokok semalu. Ia kuncup dengan sendirinya apabila senja menjelma. Maka itu bila waktu semakin senja, pulanglah ke rumah wahai para wanita.

Wedding I attended

Sila jamu cuci mata with pics taken at my friend's wedding reception I attended just now. Sorry for the low quality outcomes ya. Terima seadanya hasil camera handphone.

cik Err & soon to be puan cik Heldah.

With the bride. *tension sendiri tengok gambar nan ado ini*

Below were taken from Grunge's compact camera. Thank goodness at least ada juga pictures with less noise & clear.

Nor & Mel; my coursemates & housemates/roomates back in UiTM.

Coursemates yang ex!

The ladies at the table.

With the newly weds. Congrats to dear Jury on the new title. Mrs sudah ooo.

I'm getting lazier to drag Blackie along to any events nowadays. Seriously Pinky has been resting for too long.

Ever since her charger went missing last year...she became an idle gadget & was kept in the drawer. Until recently, mother asked about my 26^th birthday gift from her. Harus wei rasa bersalah menikam jantung. Rabak seii. And since I've become more lazy bum to carry Blackie, I planned to get the charger by next year. Insya Allah. Bakal terbang lagi duit gue. Investment investment...for a bright clear non-blur pictures in the future. Punya lah PANDAN.

Burps Banyak Kali

*clearing throat*

I seriously thought the soto I had for breakfast would be enough to withstand my appetence. At least until this evening. Because I have a wedding reception to attend at 7pm. The fact that it is held at a hotel made clear to me food served definitely will be immensely great with carbs & fats.

But the thought went straight to the drain upon seeing the box below. Sat next to the microwave...it's like the box was trying to tell me that the content needs to be heated prior consumption. And since I had just finished cleaning the house, I guess it's not a crime to just have a bite or two of it. Aha bite or two sangat.

Who can say NO to the content when the tummy has long rumbles. Rumble lah sangat cik Err.

There are only 2 slices...and another 1 in my hand.

Added with my favorita hot white coffee from Elken^R...it really is a bliss tea time for moi. What's more when it's pouring heavily outside. Boleh jak aku mengarang mimpi di dalam jaga. Ahaks.

Alkisah, ada penyesalan berdendang di jiwa. Kenapalah aku ikutkan hawa nafsu untuk menelan benda alah di atas. I ate all 3 slices, oh my! I should get a knife & slaughter myself. Since I've consumed more than I allow myself to...I should eat less at the reception then. Secubit rasa for each dish served. In order to compensate the fats I've swallowed just now. Memang saiko gabanlah. *sila tolong tension untuk aku...sambil tap my shoulder*

Will depart from my home with Memel at 5pm. Tumpang Nor's house for MagPra before heading to the hotel for the reception. Grunge & Rio will be there earlier hence I've told her to reserve seats for us. More photo sessions...I is like.

Ok now let's start fening with me...because I bloody don't have any suitable attire to wear! ugh ugh bakar almari lah macam ni bah.

Mari layan lagu untuk tenangkan jiwa. Ngeh~~

Krok Krek

Reddish eyes. Burning tongue. Headache. Neck-pain. Sweating palms. All come visiting at once.

Few of the cousins have been visited by fever & flu since last week. Starting with Girl who passed the virus to her brother; Ezad. Later Baby drank from the same glass Ezad used & she got sick the day after. Both cousins were at my house the other day. I babysit Baby last Weds. Uly who sleeps in the same room as Baby, has started feeling unwell. She's sleeping on the couch in front of me right now.

I hope the fever will rest its case on visiting me today. Oh please do come on another day. Sunday sounds perfect. I have kenduri tahlil to go tonight...later to Laura's house for some retail therapy session. Yes, shopping comes to us. Bless isn't it. And I also have a wedding reception to attend tomorrow. So practically, I can't afford to get sick. Punya alasan mau hantuk ke dinding.

On Monday I have to meet my tailor wah tripping ada tailor sendiri for some alteration of my baju penyepit. Last time she measured me...I were still in a good shape. By the time she completed the baju, I have developed a few centimetres of extra fats here & there. Yes u got it right, I couldn't fit & hide the extra fats in the baju. A little bit of alteration at the zip & chest area will do I guess. Jangan jak aku nampak macam pregnant lady time wedding tu. Harus bunuh diri.

Seribu Sedua Cerita

Paling benci tensi rasa mau teriak kuat² biar seluruh alam dengar...bila di atas jalan raya nan aman bebas dari traffic congestion, suddenly kereta yang megah besar dari si Darling; tekan hon bertalu². Kereta yang perasan dia paling laju di dunia. Ok fine, kereta ndak salah tapi si pemandu super brilliant is.

Like, hello...instead of honking non stop, boleh jak tukar lane kan. As a matter of fact, aku adalah memandu di lorong kiri or also known as lorong untuk pandu perlahan. If u're really on a rush i.e kau ada bini yang mau terberanak dalam kereta, or girlfriend kau yang sudah berjam² menunggu...sila lah dengan tadahan tangan lebih besar dari nyiru; switch ur path to the right lane. It's damn annoying to have something tailing behind ur back. And it gets more irritating when it couldn't stop 'cronking' & beaming light.

Ugh perasaan ingin layangkan jari tengah senantiasa menari di tabir mata...di dalam minda. But always ended up...berangan lebey. Serius buruk perangai. Manis² pakai tudung *oh perahsantan #1*, ayu² drive si Darling*oh perahsantan #2*; buat hapa besmirch image yang baik with something unworthy. Buatlah Bie; maka automatically kau jadi lebih teruk seteruk² alam dari orang yang kau marah tu. Buruk eh. Anyway, itu cerita geram awal pagi tadi. I have long cool myself down.

Alhamdulillah no chaffing whatsoever happened at the cafe today.

Got a text from someone whom I didn't expect will text me. It's been weeks since Laura told me about that someone hence the shocked. And knowing what Laura told that someone, make me wanna kill her instantly. If only I could summoned her to appear before my eyes...harus lunyai berkecai aku gigit. Grrrr. Of all pretty things to talk about...why is that my middle name is always a point to her. Grrrr. I hope that is the sign of a great beginning albeit having a little bit of doubt over it. Laura has always been my designated MM. I absolutely trust her judgment & assessment...without hesitation. Especially when it comes to matter as such.

Let us pray for more happiness & joyful moments to come. Insya Allah. If it didn't lead to the 'destination' we aimed...a 'ship' is born, at least.

Am currently waiting for Maghrib to end. Will be going to Putatan to visit a close friend whom has just lost his father. Al Fatihah.

Makan LAGI?

All of a sudden...last Mon, brother invited the Ismail's to come over to our little crib last night. I was kinda surprised when Bungsu & Aunty asked me what's the occasion. Mother asked Brother but he said nothing.

And yesterday during lunch, that sengal brother of mine texted & told me to buy soft drinks for dinner. Only then I concluded by myself that the dinner is due to something. Alahai adik, next time u wanna surprise mother or me please make it clear to the rest of the family to keep it in the vault. Lucky enough u managed to keep it low by giving that expressionless face of urs upon asked.

Brother made everything himself. From going to the mall, to buying groceries, to food preparation and presentation, to cleaning the kitchen. Harus kami terkejut beruk because the last time he cleaned the house was like years & years back.

Turned out, dinner was thrown over 2 obvious reasons. First, to celebrate his belated birthday. I think he wanted to change the tradition in which instead of being feted; he chose to do it the other way round. Second, farewell to him. He got through the exams & interviews...to be stationed in Mabul Island. And will be leaving KK sometime next month. Hence it is said a surprise to mother. Or to be exact, surprise to the family because none of us knew he has been chosen. Maka bertapalah adik gue jadi orang pulau ndak lama lagi. Bertambahlah kandungan 'karbon' dalam sistem badan. Well at least, I'm no longer the holder of the KellyNg's award in the family.

Preparation. I is like the blue ala-tudung saji. Only because I were the 1 who bought it.

Food served.

Oh darn it...laper kembali!

Chombee & Girl

Si Nia @ Baby

Aunty & Uly @ Luly

Youngest brother - cousin brother; Ezad - Mother

Cousins. Macamlah penat betul...padahal the whole day lepak di rumah.

Since the dinner was held in such surprise...and more over in weekdays, only few came. And Blackie ran out of battery by the time Along & his family arrived. Only few pictures taken kerana gue letih amat. Perut kenyang...mata berat ngantuk mau transform jadi ular sawa.

Can't wait for the family to gather next month. Miss all of them. I am whole when I'm with them. Regardless the flaws & imperfections...because that's what make us family! Unbreakable bond.

Age increase twice...in less than a month.

Laura has finally uploaded the pictures taken from her camera on Grunge's 21 plus 8 burpday party last week. Because I wasn't quite satisfied with the quality of the pictures taken from my oh-so-pathetic camera phone *only the camera not the phone ya*, I decided to share the pictures from the party in this blog once more.

Peduli biji mata bernanah nangis darah kau sana balik² dipaksa mengadap gambar(s).

Anywoot, big thanks & hugs to Laura for sharing. That is after a week nagged by Grunge... psycho-ed by me about the long delayed pictures. They are all up tonight; just like she promised.

As the youngest & trip-est member; Miss Linawa presented the gift from the PPGs.

Wonder what that little missy has in mind upon giving the bangle to Grunge. Muka adalah ketidak relaan di situ.

Monster of any sweet thing that she is.

The eldest, the Chief & the youngest member.

Harus ada muka enter frame dalam blog sendiri. Moi brought out the cupcakes & the rest sang the burpday song to Grunge. Impromptu & surprisal moment it was!

Shy² cat kunun...petui adalah.

I is lurve all the cuppies. Scrumptious cupcakes from Boutique CC in Lintas.

Maya sulked when we didn't sing any song for her. Every birthday cake...every candles...Maya harus ada share.

In order to fix Maya's not so pink mood...another cake cutting & burpday song for them both. Glad Maya liked it & she smiled ear to ear when given the chance to blow off the candles.

Lepaking. Makaning. Anyam ketupating.

Last but not least, carrot cake Grunge bought to serve her guest. Sedap sekali nyaman aman damai.

Ok siap. Maka tamatlah sesi meroyan pasal Grunge's gontua day.

Went as Planned

Alhamdulillah.

*phew*...what a weekend! Totally a blast...I didn't even realize it's Monday already. On Saturday, I wanted to blog & share about things I was occupied with. But nothing posted due to moi being engrossed by excitement to finish the tasks. My complete attention was dedicated over the decoration for the baby shower party which was held yesterday.

All went well as planned. Syukran. Mission accomplished, objectives reached. The parents-to-be is so happy with the gifts we could tell just from the smile. Surprisal party organized by her close friends...really did surprise Unang; the mommy-to-be. Event we've planned for nearly a month went out wonderfully. Much loves to all who contributed for the gifts, foods etc etc.

Next; will be Jess' post hen's night. Albeit being 3 months pregnant; we'll still be organizing the hen's night for her. Green light has long given by her husband; provided no drinking session takes place. Oh so can't wait.

Meanwhile, enjoyed the preparation pictures I syok sendiri-ed took last night. Was so thrilled with the decorations thingy because it's been ages since I last did stuff as such. Hati berkobar kencang dada rasa macam dipukul drum. Wah gitu.

Clip arts I got from the net. And did the design myself using PS.

The letter 'B' harus banyak kali take...harus!

And another B...

Pictures from the baby shower will be up soon. It's as in -ish. Depends on my level of diligence.

For the time being, please settle urself with the pic above. Madam Laura taking the gift out from the car prior the decorating session. Dengan penuh ketekunan & dedikasi adalah harus.

Chamber of Secrets Evening

Fine...posts aku lately dipenuhi suka duka kehidupan gambar. Aku pun sendiri muntah darah bila tengok. It's just that I'm currently lying in the zone that accentuate pictures uploading rather than typing words. Yeah right.

Before I glue myself in front of the silver tube...here are some photos to cuci mata.

Cheeloh sleeping soundly on the chair. Alone.

And suddenly...I didn't notice when he moved & settled himself in the basket.

Accompanied by his gay partner; Cafe. Of all baskets in the house, do u really need to share with Cheeloh? Can't u just share with 'someone' ur size?

Haa, told u already Cafe. U can't simply squeeze urself in a basket with Cheeloh on it. Unless Corridor is on it. Or lupa, Corridor dislikes u.

Reason why I lack the interest to update more...cerita ceritu more...is because the out of a sudden rajin moi found the cd below. Second installment of Harry Potter's film series. I is like & happy cipan...mainly because Dobby's in it.

Super adorable Dobby!

Oh u melt my heart! Please notice as well; budak bertiga yang masih chomel loteh masih mentah. I tetiba rasa umur meningkat. Ahaks.

Ok as said earlier...this will be a quick update. Oh yeah just for the sack of an update gitu. Mahu bercengkarama bersama Dobby. Walau tiada bulan purnama malam ini.
