1st day of school in Sengkang Primary

2009-01-04T00:02:00.000-08:00

2009 will b a milestone for Lil Ash as he is already in P1 and dat will earmark his life long education..... 5 days a week, from 7.40am til 1.20pm, wif 2 compulsary CCAs (swimming and chess) every Mondays...Dat excludes his daily mengaji lessons @ 5pm and madrasah lessons @ Al-Istiqamah (I dunt wanna shortchange his uqrawi lesson.. Uqrawi + Duniawi = Balance...

He is more excited in going 2 school as hes so into his Ben10 haversack, Ben10 wallet, Ben10 Waterbottle, Ben10 pencil box, pen, eraser, sharpener, Ben 10 undies.... N he even told me hes looking forward to P1 as hes looking forward to d pocket money of $1.50 hes getting everyday!!

D parents of P1 r more chaotic than d students... Most parents r more worried than the students... Kiasu parents r loitering or standing beside their kiddos, asking many silly questions as y d school bus is early, y d toilet paper is outside d toilet.. Cant they exercise more flexibility and let d kiddo learn d hard way and b independant? Some even defying d instructions and accompanying d kiddos 2 d canteen during recess even thou theres a buddy assigned 2 each P1 kiddo... Fugly Sporeans parents!!!!!

As for Syura she pun enter-frame nak pocket money jugak... LOL... Shes in the afternoon session for K1.. 4 hours of pre-school....

Our 7th Wedding Anniversary

1st Jul 2007 marks our 7th wedding anniversary... (but it took me almost a mth 2 post dis, LOL).... I have definitely matured as a person coz Im now a wifey and mum, experienced one tau!... From a 'basking wif matrimonal bliss to a 'Oh no Im preggie within one mth' and welcoming a 'new baby who cries non-stop all day'.. Yes u r rite. my 1st born baby cry and cry and cry like theres no 2mrw... And believe or not, he has EYES ONLY FOR ME!!! He refuses his ayah (now dah macam belangkas with d ayah) .. So I have 2 tend 2 him 24/7 for almost a year!!!!! Lucky thing lil Syura is more adaptable & acceptable 2 people ard her.. Phewwww!!!!

All marriages have its ups and downs... Arguments n tiffs r unevitable as we have 2 adapt n suit each other's lifestyle and personalities.. Me and hub r polars opposites.. Im a clean and neat freak.. I expect d house b clean, (b4 I have a maid, Im always vacumming and mopping d house, lap sini lap sana... BUT D MOMENT HE COMES HOME, everything is in A MESS.. Used tissue strewn all over d house. Dirty laundry and clean laundry are lumped 2getha... Aper tak darah aku selalu UP dulu.. LOL...

Now tings have mellowed down a lot.. N wif 2 kiddos around, everyday is a new journey for us..... Syukur alhamdulilah, all praises 2 ALLAH...Ps: Congrats Riz for his promotion.. A timely promo indeed...Your hardwerk and persistence pays off...

Poor Arissa Arissa

2008-04-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

Poor Arissa Arissa

My precious little and latest nephew Arissa (I call her Arissa Arissa) is hospitalised due to fever, cough and running nose... As shes only 4 mths old and oral medication intake is limited, she has 2 b in good hands of d professionals (doctors n nurses) for observation till she has fully recovered....

Arissa Arissa was super cranky thru-out d whole day, dat I have 2 carry her d whole day even wens shes asleep... She cried reali loud weneva d doc or nurses check on her, she cried even louder wen shes on d neubriliser ... I reali dunt noe how 2 pacify her coz she refuses d milk . So i sneaked out and brought 2 shopping for balloons downstairs and I sing 2 her.... She stopped crying after dat.. I dun noe if she luvs d baloons or my singing?? LOL.. I bought a gigantic helium dolpin shaped n barney baloon... 21 bucks juz for 2 miserable helium baloons... I dunt mind as long Arissa Arissa is happy n wil stop crying

SInce Crabby has 'camped' at KKH for d past 2 nytes, I volunteered 2 babysit Arissa on Fri..D funny ting is dat since Crabbie and me r twins, a lot of nurses and doctors on duty tot dat Im Arissa's mummy.. LOL..

Nurse 1 : Mummy, wen did Arissa start having d rashes on her face??
Me : I dunt noe coz Im not her mummy
Nurse 1 : ???!!! I(She was a bit apprehensive and shocked..) But u r d mummy coz u look like her mummy
Me : Im her twin sister lah
Nurse 1 : End up wif laughter due to embarrasment

Me: Nurse, can I have 120 oz milk for Arissa
Nurse 2 : Ok which brand??
Me : (dumbfounded) , I dunt noe, can u check her record pl
Nurse 2 : U mean u dont even noe which milk your dotter drink
Me: Of coz lah, coz Im not her mummy..Her mummy has gone 2 rest and Im her twin sister
Nurse 2 : Burst into laughter as well
Me : Roll eyes (LOL)

Dis r juz 2 seperate incidents dat Im highlighting here, Dis excludes d doctor's mistaken identity, d cleaner's making small talks 2 me, and d other parents who continued yakking at me without giving me a chance 2 explain dat Im not CRABBY.. So dah penat explaining, I juz pretend 2 be CRABBIE.. Hahahahaha... Hahahha.. SO hilarious...
PS: Crabby was shocked wen she came n took over.. I have set up a 'COMITTEE MEMBER' A lot of other parents have assembled at Arissa Arissa's bed for a tete-a -tete.... MAGG slaps forehead* Kat hospital pun boleh carik members and lepak2....

A tale of a pending holiday plan

2008-02-07T07:17:00.000-08:00

A tale of a pending holiday plan

My holiday plans are put on hold and have been pending since middle of last year.. Ive made plans 2 go for a holiday at least once every 2 years.. Of coz a short trip 2 KL can be easily arranged over d weekend bcoz of d close proximity (5 hours journey by coach), and d conversion of SIng dolars to Msian ringgit dat made it so affordable 2 pay for d accomadation, food and shopping...

My 'nicely planned upcoming holilday' 2 Hongkong has 2 b put on hold again no thanks to Riz... Its either hes bz for his exams, class or assignments or his werk and overseas stint..In fact Riz will b flying 2 Japan n Korea 2mrw and I foresee he will be overseas more often....

Sob sob.. Ok ok, Im not dat heartless after all.. I will stop nagging about d pending holiday trip again ya hub... I will compromise dis tyme round... Since my good fren Rina wen for her Europe tour (Milan, London included), I 'kirim' her 'oleh2 from Milan'... tadaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Dis r my 'oleh2 from Milan'.... Im super-duper-hepi and I wont be nagging or whining about my pending holday plans as 'wo mey yo chian ler'.... Cai chian sian kang.... LOL...

Poor Poor Lil Syura

2008-01-26T21:52:00.000-08:00

Poor Poor lil Syura

My lil bunny was admitted last week.... She is recuperating very well @ home now....

It was d worst nitemare for me... KKH has shortage of bed.. I requested for one bedded (A1 ward) but all rooms are full house... Fine.. So I requested for a Deluxe room, no rooms as well.... Fine... So I asked for d next bed options... I am willing 2 compromise.... But theres no bed in B1, B2 and even C Class....I have 2 be put on hold for d next 8 hours and chances of me getting into a single room was very slim.... I then asked for a referral letter and wen 2 another hospital....

What kind of epedemic is going on here, I wonder.... But anyhow, Syura is fine now so my nitemare is over already... :)

Lil Syura 1st day of school

2008-01-05T02:31:00.000-08:00

Lil Syura 1st day of school

My precious tot is already in school already!! Shes d baby in d family , d youngest kid on d block among all nieces and neplhew (Riz side and my side til baby Arissa came and took the throne awayfrom her... hehee)

She has been a STAY AT HOME KID ( opposite of SAHM STAY HOME MUM) for d past 4 years... Unlike lil Ash (her big bro) who attended pre-playgroup at d age of 2 years, dis will be lil Syura's 1st attempt 2 b in school....

Ibu's main concern are : - does she need cajoling 2 even step into d classroom?? Will she have seperation anxiety? Will she have difficulties waking up early in d am as she attends d 8am slot???

But lil Syura has proven us all wrong..

She did not shed any tear.. She was very eager 2 go 2 school... In fact she was 2 eager 2 step into d classroom dat my existence was no longer needed by her.. :)

PS : yg ku sangkakan berani dan tak akan menangis akhirnya menangis dalam bilik darjah... hahahah... Oh Iman, u make us laff by crying in school......

D KILLER MIGRAINE

2007-12-15T09:25:00.000-08:00

D Killer Migraine

I tink Im under lotsa sheer pressure dis few days.. Factors could b stress-related as wat has been diagnosed by d doctor himself.. I had this unexplainable throbbing pain on my upper head which is persistent for weeks... At 1st I tot it could b bouts of simple headache dat would come and go but boy I was wrong... D pain became more intense and d throbbing pain on my head passed my left eye muscle and my left eye was hit wif hard throbbing intense pain... Ive never had MIGRAINE in my entire life..N to have it NOW is juz UNEXPECTED!!!

WELCOME MIGRAINE wif no thanks of coz...... Doctor prescribed some anti relaxant pills 2 b taken so dat it will ease d pain and make me sleep.... N he told me 2 avoid b lappie or pc for some time at least (dat explains my absence in d cyberwerld)

Took d pills for 2 consecutve days, on the 3rd day d darned MIGRAINE wen away but more tormenting acts came.... I was INSOMNIC for 2 nites.. Imagine not being able 2 catch a wink for 2 days straight in a row n d worst part was dat I wasnt feeling groggy, sleepy or lethargic at all!! Apa ubat yg aku dah makan nie.. TONGKAT ALI ker??? Gastritis pains came by as well....
Wat d heck, migraine gone but I had insomnia and gastritis pain thereafter.... Frustated I stopped taking d medicine and dumped them away.... D migraine's gone totally and I could sleep peacefully like a baby at nite.... D gastritis pain is geting a whole lot betta....
Alhamdulilah Im feeling betta now..

. Pain is juz something dat I can withhold and withstand.. Wif d intense pain, I could still get on wif life and carried out my daily activities as per normal... Thank God verything is resuming back 2 normal now...*MAGG hums PAIN PAIN GO AWAY AND DUN COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY...

A Tale of A Lost Wallet

2007-12-08T02:00:00.001-08:00

A tale of a lost wallet

After parking d car at Sg Expo open carpark ( My 3rd round of re-shopping for JL sale there), opened d door and I realised dat I stepped on something 'hard'.. It was a red long ladies wallet.... Hmmmm.. Must b d passenger who was 2 eager 2 rush for the SG expo sale dat she muz have dropped her wallet.... D 1st ting on my mind was ' how is she gonna shop and pay for her all d shopping)... n she muz b 2 bz shopping dat she didnt even realise dat shes' wallet-less' or she muz have a rich boyfriend who is paying for all her purchases...

Typical Sporean, muz bz browsing over d sales items.. But boy I was wrong, her Ic is blue not pink, Singapore PR... I flipped her wallet 2 search for her name card... But all d name card doesnt seem to belong 2 her... She has many credit cards thou... Being in d banking industry, I randomly picked a credit card and called the hotline... Gave the CSo d customer's credit card number and full name and asked the CSo to connect me to customer via conference call as I found her wallet...

Call was connected and

Me : Miss, I found your wallet. I tink u muz have dropped it while u rush 2 d sale...
Miss : ya ya... Thankz a lot..
Me : Can u please come and meet me asap. N can I have d car plate no for verification please
Miss: Ok it XXXXX.... Are u leaving soon...??\
Me : No, Im also rushing for d sale. Can u come asap
Miss: Ok

5 mins later, I saw a Chinese lady pleasantly plump running 2wards my direction... I asked her for her name and passed d wallet 2 me... Her boyfriend who is also pleasantly plump smiled and thanked me profusely and said that her gf was 2 excited abt d sale dat she didnt even realise her wallet is missing....

Hmmmm.... I felt good d whole day coz I shopped till I dropped at the JL sale and d book fair....

Retail Theraphy

Never felt dis good b4... Was feeling sick and lousy on a Sunday ... (Hey, Sunday is supposed 2 be my family day not a depressing day)... Not wanting 2 disappoint d kiddos, i took a short nap 2 get rid of d damn migraine dat is pounding hard on my poor head.. After which I went for a facial n a full body massage @ Compass Point... Felt lighter after d massage and my face felt squeaky n super duper clean.. Goodbye blackheads, white heads....

Headed 2 AMK hub as Riz wanted 2 go somewhere nearby so dat he can spend d rest of d time revising for his exams... Dis is d 1st time we headed 2 AMK Hub. AMK Hub is a shopping haven for me, shoes, clothes, cosmetics, food and many more and they r all a steal ...Had pizza @ Pizza hut for dinner...

I will make my presence felt more often @ AMK HUB.. :)

My Little Indulgence

2007-11-11T02:12:00.001-08:00

My Little Indulgence

I finally succumbed 2 my 'little indulgence' again and bought another parfum 2 add more 2 many collections... Incanto by Salvatore Feragamo.... Juz cant stop indulging in dis fettish of mine.... Be it cheap or xpensive parfums, I will always b tempted 2 bring a bottle home once Ive entered into a retail outlet..

Generally Im not a make up person ... My make up is very minimalist.. I dunt even have any eye shadow in my make up bag... LOL...

My only grouse is dat wen d novelty of a certain parfum wear off, I will give it away n indulge in newer scents....

To Repair Or Not 2 REPAIR

2007-10-02T06:37:00.000-07:00

2 Repair Or Not To Repair

My 6 year old metallic ARISTON fridge suddenly 'died' on me 2day.... D chiller and freezer went on strike... My freshly stock up (from Geylang market) of prawns, meat, stingray, chicken, ice cream wen on 'defrost mode'...

Enraged and pissed off, I scouted for contact numbers for repair works... I rummaged thru classified of newpaper and straits time but couldnt find any... I tried 2 search thru d web. But my lappie batt died (of all times).. In d end I called CALL SEARCH for asst... N viola I got connected 2 a repair shop..

I was expecting d cost of repair 2 b less than 100 bucks as Im convinced dat d gas muz have run out...D technician den dropped d BOMBSHELL.... D motor needs replacement.. N d estimation repair cost is $480 coz my fridge is big n 'highend'....... Wat d heck.... Was contemplating in getting a new fridge or proceed wif d repair...

I d end I asked d technician for d boss hp number.. And apa lagi mak mintak kurang lah... Buat suara 'kesian' and in d end he lowered it 2 $380. I asked for further reductions and he turned me dwn... Takper lah $380 pun $380 lah....

N d ting dat irks me is d motor died bcoz d fridge is leaned against d wall hence d warm air is trapped and d motor have 2 werk real hard thus causing it 'demise'..

Moral of d story : - D gap between d fridge and d wall muz be at least a few inches away... Duhhhh.. Now I noe... DOLMAT betul aku nie...

It looks nice and metallic.. But it cost a bomb 2 have it repaired!!!

On a seperate note, my masterbed room is so complete now.. Dah ada home theatre... Can karoke in private now... Triple yeahhhhhhhhhhh.. :)

Rabun Ayam @ Blind As A Bat

2007-08-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

Rabun Ayam and Blind As A Bat

At dis age, I kinda having a tinge of regret for failing to take proper care of my eyes aka windows of d soul from d day I was only slightly myopic (from primary school)... D degree seemed to increase like nobody's business, it stabalised den at a recent eye check my degree increase by 50. (For d past 5 years it was ok). Babi betul.. Dah lah semua naik :- tambang bus n MRT naik, GST naik, harga barang2 naik , degree aku pun nak ikut trend naik jugak.. Babi betul... Makin rabun lah tanpa teropong ajaib ku aka cermin mata tebal ku atau lens ku...

One tings for sure, Im not telling u wat my degree is... Malu beb...

Now I have 2 get a new prescribed glasses (dat I only wear at home coz I hate glasses!!) and new disposable lenses again... My eyes cant accept normal disposable lens, it has 2 be long wear day n nite lens... 3 pieces (and not pairs) cost 36 bucks whereas monthly disposables for 6 pairs nis only like $60.... I wonder how much money is spent in a lifetime for d lenses....

I have a luv hate realtionship wif my glasses....It never seems 2 last long... D glasses dat u see is cost me a cool 450 buckeroos... Its not a branded one thou.... D actual price is only $250 bucks coz d multi-coated hi -index lens is a bit x and d gatal me wanted it in glass so dat it b thinner.... D lens broke twice and I had 2 replace it twice... N now d poor lens is cracked again... I accidentally sat on my poor speckie....

So in simple math :

Glasses = $300
Cost of lens replacement = $50 x 3 = $150
Total = $450

Ist tyme lens broke = Riz stepped on it ( Riz's fault)
2nd tyme lens broke = Lil Syura ketuk pakai besi (it was my fault coz I let her play wif it wen I nap)
3rd tyme lens broke = I sat on it.. (my fault)

I tink d money dat I spend on d glasses alone could tally up 2 b a substantial amt which can even pay for lasik treatment... Im indeed contemplating for lasik but not sure if its permissible by our religion.... But again d possibilities of getting perfect vision is not 100%... N some even said they would see halo visions at nite....

Uwahhhhhhhhhh.. Im super-duper upset... Degree naik + cermin mata pecah... Uwahhhhhh

Super-mum

2007-08-11T05:11:00.001-07:00

Super-mum

I salute 2 all d super-mums out there.. My definition of a super-mums r mums who have close 2 half a dozen of kiddos n (1 0r 2 kids r not counted).... I do have super-mum frenz who has at least 5 or 6 kids with a gap of about 2 years in between each kid, yet they can kip d house spick and span, d kids well clothed and well-fed n will cook sumptous meal everyday withour fail, all done without a single help from anyone albeit no maid...........

2day I became an instant super-mum... 5 kids mind u... Crabbie kiddos wanted 2 stay over so I voleenteered 2 look after them...

So I have 1) A 10 year gal
2) An 8 year old kid
3) A 5 year old boy
4) A 3 year old boy and gal
5) A 3 year old gal

Lunch : I cooked nasi lemak with loads of nuggets, hot dogs and chicken wings for them.... Nasi lemak is one dish which is well-loved by everyone b it adults and kiddos.

Playing time: I brought them 2 d playgrd den 2 d park for some outdoor activity... They would b bored cooped up at home.. Of coz I as I walked hand in hand wif all d kids, I kinda 'attract d attention' of many people .... They muz b tinking how d heck can she raise so many kids.... I was literally shouting my lungs out coz they were dispersed all over d park..

Bathing time : I forced all of them into the toilet... Of coz d bigger kids like Crabbyjunior 1 and Crabby junior 2 had 2 wear their underpants to protect their modesty (LOL)... Satu kasi siram satu kali sabun satu kali bilas X 5 kids...

Feeding time: I lay newspaper on d dining table, served food and drinks... They have 2 eat 2 getha....

Tea break : I baked chocolate fudge cake for them.. They literally enjoyed d cake fresh from the over and kept on praising me and complimenting me... " sedap ah cake nie"

Looking after 5 kiddos is no easy feet, I was totally drained out by end of d day ( i even have my domestic helper ,mind u) All i had 2 do was 2 cook and look after d kiddos without any nid 2 do housewerk like sweeping d floor, doing d laundry and washing d dishes yet I was totaly drained...

How on earth did all d super-mums do it in d stone age with no electrical appliances, have 2 hand wash all clothes, masak pakai arang, pakai lampin... Anak berderet deret pulak 2, sampai belasan anak... Tapi masih boleh handle.... I noe I cant.. *MAGG surrenders bendera putih*

PS: I drove 2day wif my beloved mak n bapak in d car with no glitches and butterflies in my stomache... But b4 dat I told them 2 FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELT... LOL :)

My Abode

2007-08-04T00:58:00.000-07:00

My Abode

2day marked d 6 years since I got d keys to my abode.... Time passes by quickly as it only seems like ystday since we moved in.... D entire flat has its fair share of homeowners moving in n out (HDB rulings:- U have 2 stay for a good 5 years b4 selling your flat).. So obviously there r a lot of movements for those tinking of making big bucks.... Riz in return has hinted to me his intention to upgrading and shifting 2 his 'dream home'.... I refused coz dis abode of mine has so many memories, from newly weds to 1st time mum.. from 'dapur tak berasap pasal tak tau masak' to a seasoned cook..... Dis house has far 2 many sweet memories and Ive grown accustomed 2 it already....

D renovation concept was of coz decided by me, I wanted a modern clean contemporary look which will not fade in time... Initially I wanted a ZEN APPEAL but d ZEN LOOK will no longer b in thing in time 2 come so I opted for a timeless and everlasting concept... As u can c Im a clean freak and pretty obsessed wif pastel colors (i.e shades of white), so imagine d time I spent in maintaining and cleaning d house to kip it neat and clean wif 2 kids in tow (I dunt have a maid for d past 5 years mind u!) A cream shade for sofa = disastrous wif 2 kids runing ard wif crayons, drinks and foods... Till 2 day I wonder how I can do dat..

Many thanks to Crabbie sis for giving me a personal loan (interest-free) for my renovation.... She contributed a fair share of $ for me 2 pay for d renovation contractor... Im a strong advocator and despise loans and hutangs.. Y should I let d bank earn interest from me... I pooled all d moolahs dat I have 2getha wif Crabbie and Riz's moolahs we paid d renovation contractor about close $30K... N we all went broke 2getha after dat... hahahah.... N to tink I wasnt even werking at d time... (I stopped werking after getting married, yet I 4go all d moolahs and wiped out d entire amt from my bank acct) N many thanks also 2 my family members who contributed d paid 4 d curtains for d whole house and some electrical appliances in d house....
Im a sucker wen it comes 2 sentimental values... I stayed here even b4 theres MRT station and bus interchange.. No shops, no shopping centres.. Its as good as staying in a ghost town... But d estate developed rapidly wif MRT, Compass Point Shopping Centre, bus interchange, CC and many more to come juz a stones throw from my block, a mere 5 mins walk... Its little wonder y so many people r aiming my block 2 shift in.... I would b cash-rich if I followed d flow and sell my flat... But Im contented wif wat I have now.... It doesnt matter if I dunt have much moolahs in hand, as long as Im debt-free I more than contented...

Move Over Mum, Its Our Turn To MSN

2007-08-03T21:13:00.000-07:00

Move Over Mum, its our turn 2 MSN

We have shoo-ed our ibu away, so dat we can have private moments msn-ing our ayah.... Ayah hasnt been home for d past 2 weeks... We missed him loads.... We miss his banters, miss his 'giving in and acceding 2 our request' (wen ibu would turn us down flatly), miss him lulabying us to sleep (wen ibu is bz watching TV or surfing d net)... All we knew is dat ayah is overseas whereby he nids to travel in air plane juz to reach his destination... Ibu said ayah will not b home dat soon, so shes in CHARGE..... Ayah please come home real soon coz we r already missing u badly, we promise 2 b good (for d 1st hour at least)....

I lurve Coach

2007-07-28T10:36:00.000-07:00

I lurve Coach , I luv Riz even more..

Riz actually bought me dis bag.. Very touching, for a man who doesnt even noe who 2 buy his own brief, can go thru such length asking d sales person which bag is suitable for d wifey... For me its d tots dat count.. Im not brand-conscious...

But I wont b so silly 2 turn down such an irresistable offer.. :)

At 2am Singapore timing, Im battling wif droopy and sleepy eyes 2 have a decent conversation wif Riz as hes busy window shopping in Houston (U.S time 1pm)... Nasib baik bill hp company bayar, kalau tak parah sey....

MAGG69 dah kemaruk MSN now... I even kol Crab and her kiddos via MSN and chat via d MSN webcam.... No 2 mention wif Riz, dunt noe how many thousand times I nudge him ... LOL

Welcum New LCD TV

2007-07-27T23:22:00.000-07:00

Welcome New LCD TV

Welcome new LCD TV..Now I can watch a slightly bigger TV in d comfort of my own room wif no disturbance on my bed...

Riz not around = Wife went going crazy (on shopping spree)

Its proven, retail theraphy combat some form of longing and loneliness :) (Temporary relief at least) Feeling down, feeling depressed, under loads of stress.... Opt for RETAIL THERAPHY, it ease away all kinds of depression, all kinds of stress and woes... But wen d bills comes knock, knock, knocking on your mail box, all d stress and depression will recurring back... LOL....

MSN Virgin

2007-07-27T21:35:00.000-07:00

MSN Virgin

I shamelessly and shamefully admit dat Im an MSN virgin... I maintained my blog based on ad-hoc basis updating it as n wen I like it, neglecting n abandoning it wen d lazy mode hit me...Even my multiply acct is rotting and collecting dust. At tymes juz 2 on d little button on my lappie felt as if I have 2 use a lot of strength... My email will be flooded wif hundreds of messages coz I checked my emails once fortnightly...

So wen Riz is posted in U.S and d roaming services r relatively expensive there, I had no choice but 2 chat via MSN... No charges, and we can make funny faces as we talk...
I even rendered d wonderful assistance of sis CRABBIE to set up d webbie cam and an MSN acct for me.... CRABBIE im not pc illiterate but IM LAZYYYYYY.... lol.... So she patiently downloaded d MSN and set up an acct for me...

Bcoz of d tyme difference, I chatted wif Riz at 12.30 midnite, sleepy n groogy and I even forced lil Ash 2 stay awake wif me, howeva lil Syura is fast asleep in la-la land... So darling hub, d next tyme round, u have 2 sacrifice yr sleep and chat wif us during d wee hours of d morning (your timing)

Yippeee... *MAGG runs ard her house and clap her hand*.. Ive attempted my maiden attempt in MSN-ing.... MY poor lappie has 2 werk harder now....
PS . teringat zaman dulu2 wen Im an active ALAMAK chatter..... 24 jam asyik nak chat ajer....

Hub-less

2007-07-25T05:13:00.000-07:00

Hub-less

Im feeling a lil bit lonely coz Riz has left yesterday for a long trip due 2 werk commitment. He will b in U.S.A den Portugal den back to U.S.A and finally back in SG..DIs tyme round he wil be away for months... Juz was I about 2 lament on how lonely my days wil be.... d phone rang and

Me: ( blogging n surfing d net) : Hellooo (wif a sigh and a lazy tone)
Riz : Hello yang... I dah kat Houston tau kat Hilton hotel .. Hotel dia besar nak mampos..
Me: Wah hilton hotel?? Abis u ada nampak PARIS HILTON tak???

We chatted for a while and he wanted me 2 set up d webcam and msn me .... Aik baru 24 hours tak nampak d naggy wifey and d super-noisy kiddos dah tak sabar nak c us via d web-cam ker???? Im sure hes gonna regret coz Ive got a long list of shopping list for him 2 buy in U.S.... Gap, Guess, Coach, Levis, Victoria Secret are all cheaper there rite.... I will bug him thru msn everyday and ask about my shopping list.. LOL...

D kiddos r already missing him and kept on bugging me on his whereabouts... Lil Syura in particular was practically repeating " Ayah work eh bu, ayah gi kerja eh ibu' umpteenth times...

PS: Yang, balik beli chewing gum and chocolate lebih2 ....

Crab , datang rumah aku set up kan web cam and also b Skype acct lah...AKu nak bermesra-mesraan melalui webcam dengan kakak kau punya laki aka abang ipar kau aka laki aku ... LOL

A new look

2007-07-25T04:35:00.000-07:00

A new look

I tink d living room walls are long overdue for a revamp or make over, 4 a start a new coat of paint would fit d already busted budget..... I am converting d playroom into another bedroom for d kiddo, it will b more condusive for them 2 sleep on their own ( I hope so).. So sorry peeps no more playroom for guest or frenz wif kiddos ya...

Goodbye colorful playroom..

Welcum plain and pristine white walls... D room is all bare now... Senangnya nak kemas and sapu..

2007-07-20T18:42:00.000-07:00

Retail Theraphy

Since Riz is not bk in SG, Im suffocated being cooped up at hm and my beloved dad is using d car, I brought my beloved kiddos out 2 Plaza Sing for SHOPPING.....We took NEL since its a direct stop 2 Dhoby Ghaut and a mere 25 mins of travel time.. I brought d kiddos 2 Swensen for lunch, and wen d ice cream is served, I left them wif d care of bibik and I went wild SHOPPING.. Hahahah.. LOL... shopping for bedsheets, clothings, bag.. Wat a way 2 release stress by retail theraphy.....

Rebonded Again

2007-07-20T18:28:00.000-07:00

Its Rebonding Time

After outgrowing d current fad of d bob hairdo, its time 2 bid adieu to d hairdryer for the vigorous blow-drying and... Welcoming d new rebonded hair wif no frills and fuss , juz wash n go, no nid 2 blow dry as well..... My butt hurts as much as my pocket... 5 hours of siting, plus d pukey smell of d treatment and wateva shit stuff they applied 2 d hair and viola d hair is now straight.. I wonder dis effect can b achieved on d unwanted hairs aka bulu jembot (LOL) ...

Have a great weekend peeps..

My 6th wedding anniversary

2007-06-30T04:36:00.000-07:00

My 6th wedding anniversary

We r 6 years old honey (im referring 2 my marital bliss and not my age ya)... *MAGG gulps and swallow her own saliva* .. It only seems like yesterday dat I signed on d dotted line and also stopped my philandering ways.. (like real LOL)

Marriage has changed me in many ways, I have 2 re-adjust from my 'pemalas nak mampos nak buat kerja rumah and langsung tak tau masak' mode 2 being a wifey and also a mummy.... Ive even changed my mindset in many aspects of life.. 2 b a responsible person and Ive even changed my disgusting hobby i.e sleeping(I can sleep 15 hours in a day hokay and nap 4 hours during daytime hokay ) to something even more meaningful like baking, cooking, cycling and etc...

Being a wifey and a mum is not easy feet... Syukur alhamdulilah Ive passed thru d transition period from being a lazy bum 2 being a wifey, a new mum and finally a mum of 2 wonderful kidz... 2 Riz honey, luv u loads and thanks for everything.....

Our dating days back tracked to 9 years ago

Our 1st bundle of joy lil Ash, tengok 2 Crab bukan main kurus sekali..

Look who is behind d wheels

Yabadabadooooo... (ala scobbie doo)... Ive finally passed my driving test after much persuasion and procrastination.... Watch out for the PYRAMID in Riz's car.... If u c d ugly pyramid aka P-Plate, den I would b behind d wheels... Riz is embarrased 2 b seen driving wif d pyramid on.....

D person who is d most delighted and over (OTT) are my parents esp my mooma.... Nie mesti kes nak suruh antar gi GEYLANG lah nie atau gi jemputan... LOL...

My parents have been urging me 2 take up driving lessons eons ago but d lazy and cant b bothered me would come up wif many lame excuses like. ' Where to find time, im bz werking (whereas I was unattached 10 years back and have plenty of time in d werld) and I would say if I pass and theres no car 2 drive den it deplete d whole purpose... Weneva Riz is overseas for werk commitment and d car is on 'idle' mode, I kinda regretted not heeding my parents advice....

Ive been taking up driving lessons on and off and finally d wait is finally over (after 10 months)...

N now dat Ive passed, I suddenly have d urge 2 relive my childhood dreams 2 d behind d wheels of a _________..... I cant wait 2 drive a lorry.... Ive always dream of driving a lorry as I dunt c many woman driving one. Bukan lori sampah or lori ali baba lah, juz a small lorry (Class 3) dat is usually used 2 transport furnitures.... Im even contemplating 2 rent a lorry juz 2 relive my childhood dream.. LOL... Siow... Kreta bawak belum stable ada hati nak bawa lorry.... muakakakakaka....

Anyone care 2 hitch a ride from me in a rented lorry???? LOL...

Kiddy's Day

Since its been some time since I last gave d kiddos a reward, I brought them 2 Compass Point Kiddy Palace to shop for toys.... Lil Ash was exceptionally OTT til he was frustated dat he couldnt make up is mind which toy 2 buy... IBU'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS STILL APPLY : No sharp objects and d items has 2 below 20 bucks, anything above 20 bucks is OUT!!! heheheheheheh....

Since Kiddy Palace is having a 20% disc and being a KIASU parent, I bought PLAYCARDS for them 2 play and at d same time I can teach them.. (educational lah konon2)... I even 'trained' my bibik 2 encourage and guide lil Syura wif d playcards.. LOL...

Afer which I wen 2 d library 2 borrow books for myself and d kiddos... Again I 'trained' my bibik 2 read 2 d kids... Very d multi-tasking rite my bibik.. .. LOL...
I read d 2 books within a day ... Wat an accomplishement!!
Lil Syura busy matching the playcards while bibik is guiding her

Gun for Lil Ash, Trolley for Syura and playcards for both of them

School Holidays

D whole family has been cooping up at home for the entire year 2007, no holidays planned as yet.. Im a bit stiffed coz its always a routine 2 me 2 de-stress and b out of d country for retail theraphy at least once a year... Shopping overseas has always been an eye opener and its CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP (read Bangkok, KL, Australia) I would prefer 2 go on a holiday during off peak period.. Cheaper packages and less crowd and human traffic....

Bapak was against d idea of me going 2 Bangkok " Sana ader bomb2 dan rampasan kuasa, kau gila eh nak pergi, jgn pergi!!' was his final warning 2 me".. LOL... Knowing how stubborn I was, he chided me again and again... So ok I'll relent and not go anywhere k bapak :)

Takper lah bapak.... Singapore pun ok aper.. Ader GSS!!! Mueheheheh....... BUt wateva it is Im still going 2 KL coz I nid 2 scout for materials untuk baju kurung... Its cheaper 2 buy fabrics at Masjid India... Wonder wen Riz would b able 2 sacrifice his time as he is 4eva bz juggling werk, studies and overseas trip.... Im always ready 2 go anytime dear...

PS: Riz would b posted to U.S in July for a couple of months... Sob sob..... I cant wait for Crab 2 deliver her mini-me and I wonder how she her mini-me will resemble... Coz if her mini-me look like her, den hermini-me will look like me also... LOL... Crabbie junior also resemble me :)

Mother or Mother-F**ker

2007-06-15T09:02:00.000-07:00

Mother or Mother F**ker

Sori for d vulgarities and lingo, Im reali exasperated by how hard a mum can push a golden chance 2 b reunited by her own flesh and blood(after 22 years of seperation).... As u all noe, Iman's mum is my sis aka my parents anak angkat... She was abondoned by her mum wen shes about 5 months old and recently wen her mum 's face appeared on a local newspaper, my dad alerted us and suggested dat I called d reporter 2 get hold of my sis mum, aka Iman's grandmother aka R.A. (Shes not a porn star but her name is R Bte A, dat makes her R.A.

Reporters r not only office bound as they werk outdoors most of d times. I tried contacting d reporter a certain Ms Has a couple of times and left messages... A week later, she returned my call and I told her abt my intention 2 reunite my sis wif her natural mum R.A. .... Ms Has promised me dat she would help me and contact me again wif good news.... Den guess wat....R.A. told d reporter dat she wanted 2 ascertain d identity of her daughter b4 she meets up wif her.. WTF!!!!! Its proven in d birth cert dat she is d real mother, her name is printed there, wats there 2 ascertain....In d end d reporter gave me her number and in return exchanged wif my hp no...(She wanted 2 verify her daughter's identity but she even got d year her daughter was born wrongly... 1986 instead 0f 1985)

I send an sms saying dat Im her daughter's sis and Im contactable via hp and she can call me wen shes free...... She replied and wants a call back at 6pm which I did but she rejected my call and smsed me saying shes busy and will call me bk 3 hours later... By 10pm, I was damn frustated of d waiting game dat I smsed her in a harsh manner and I signed off as her full name with her father's name as well as her arwah hub name .. U wanna verify me rite ... Ambik kau ubat aku dah divulge all d info...

MY question is :-

1) Wat type of mum is she wen given a chance 2 mit her daughter she doesnt seem a bit excited at all and hesistant 2 entertain me??? They have never met for 22 years.. MY sis has never got a chance to meet her natural mum and dad and siblings(sampai d dad and adik dah jadi arwah)

2) She asked abt my mum and dad and thankful for them for bringing her daughter up but she did not least asked abt her daughter??

3) She is so full of her 'only son' (who just passed away last month)... In d newspaper article she contradicted herself stating dat dis is her only son and d rest of her 3 daughters r from her 2nd marriage... (she has 4 kids from d 1st marriage which she denied and my sis has 3 other siblings).... Padahal she has 4 kids (d elder daughter she gave away 2 a Malaysian, d 2nd daughter who is my sis she gave away 2 my parents, one son she gave away , and d only son whom she treasure and sangjung2 telah kembali ke rahmatullah sometime last mth on her birthday.... D only son dat she claimed has been taken away 2 another alam.... Astagfirlhallazim..

4)Wen I mentioned dat she has a grandchild dat looked like her arwah son, shes not d least touched or excited but kept on yakking an yakking abt her arwah son.... R.A. go listen to Imran Ajmain song lah. yang sudah tu sudah, tangis tiada berlagu!!!

5) I told her I needed time 2 arrange for a meet up as I have 2 get hold of my run-away sis but guess wat R.A told me 2 give her ample time and notice as she has 2 ensure dat its doesnt clash wif her schedule like family commitment and werk... nak antar anak gi madrasah on sat blah blah blah... U mean u cant even skip one lesson so dat u can b reunited wif your flesh and blood whom u abandoned 22 years ago and GOD has given u a chance 2 reunite but u r not taking it seriously....

6) Never once did I mentioned how a bad hat my sis was, I did not even mentioned dat my sis abandoned Iman wen he was 5 mths old and never came back and she did only recently... Sumpah I did not reveal and divulge anything.... Imagine her shock if she finds out wateva she did 22 years back again was back in a cycle and her daughter 2 would do d same ting as her... Assholes!!!! Aku ader lah nak cover2 in hope dat she would be dying 2 c her daughter but in d end shes more interested on her dead son.... Sedekah lah alfatihah or yassin would be an appropriate ting 2 do, nie tidak she kept on yakking and yakking about her arwah son....

7) I will still try my very best 2 reunite mother and daughter (Insyallah) no matter wat... D reporter wanted 2 part of d reunion, Im ok wif it coz dis is all done wif good intentions but R.A refused stating dat she actually kept this from her sisters.. Babi punya perempuan, anak sendiri pun nak sembunyi kan ker... BUkan orang tak tahu dia ada anak 4... Dah lah reporter tu kau goreng and said u only have one kid from your previous marriage... N now u wanna trick me, not so easy k... Ive already exposed dat u have 4 kids...

8) My mum and dad r sincere in bringing my sis up... They dont expect any monetary returns or watsoeva.... Its only dat my sis has some psychological effects and turned out 2 b an ungrateful kid...Anyway like mother like daughter.. dua kali 5 dol... Cant b helped... If they wanna contradict and doest wanna face reality, so b it... Nak lubang pun tak agak2... Not so easy 2 lubang me..

Lets just pray a reunion will happen despite all d hurdles and hiccups.... Theres already 2 death among d family and its never 2 late 2 reunite them again... Pray for them ya my frens....

Maid 2 Order

2007-06-10T05:41:00.000-07:00

Made (Maid ) 2 Order

My domestic helper have been ard for about 4 months... As far as Im concerned, Im pleasantly pleased wif her performance and work attitude.... Shes doesnt skive, she does d household chores preti well, adapt 2 d surroundings, handling d kiddos attics and kips d house real clean dat I can even c my teeth sparking on d floor tiles!! ( abit exegerated)...

Im always a strong believer on d phrase "RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT'. If u wan someone 2 respect u, u have 2 respect d person as well... N theres no nid 2 treat d maid as a 2nd class standard.... We r no QUEEN and KING here and we certainly cant treat a maid as a SLAVE... One tings for sure, she EATS wateva I eat and cook. Shes free 2 snack on wateva food dats in d fridge.... She can DRINk wateva she wants (EXCEPT alcoholic drinks of coz, she wont anyway, muehehehe) N she can pray weneva she wants and its not within the 5 waktu sehari limitations...(sembahyang sunat or nak mengaji by all means do it) She doesnt nid 2 seek my permission 2 TALK TO D ALMIGHTY... Shes free to do dat by all means... Im pretty aghast wen I hear people (muslims) bragging abt she doesnt stop d maid 2 pray or d maid eats a pretty big portion of food or big serving of rice... HELLO... If u can freaking pay d government levy and her salary, wats d big deal about providing food for her (its in d contract u dumbos), wats more how many packs of rice can she finish a month... Unless your maid is a descendant of MIKE TYSON, mayb she's nid many PROTEIN-DIET 2 build muscle... LOL...

Ive even stressed 2 my domestic helper dat she should let d kids b independent and not giving in to their nids and wants... After a meal or finishing d milk, d kiddos have 2 placed their milk bottles in d sink.. They have 2 carry their own school bag, put on their own shoes... Im pretty aghast how some maid r juz paid 2 wait on some kids.... Ridiculous.. Ridiculos....

As for me, Im leading a relatively 'free from household chores life'... Its been eons since I last hold a mop, my vacuum cleaner, d washing machine.. My household chores revolves cooking only.. I still cook for my dearest family...... And d best part I dunt have 2 scrub d pots and pans anymore... Hehehehe.... Dah boleh feeling2 chef lah 2...

But d saddest part will always b negative vibes thrown by people... It even came from a certain family member. Someone commented dat I should place some loose change like 10 buckeros on d side table and c if d money goes missing at d end of day, or spy on her every now n then... Check dat all d furnitures r dust free and blah blah blah.... I dunt do all dis silly f**king nonsence stuff... I have brains and I wont allow my brains 2 stoop 2 such low and unethical method...... N she even commented dat d toiletries like shampoo, deodorants, and shower foams have 2 b deducted from her salary and d maid have 2 seperate and hand wash her own clothes.... Mite as well u say if u mak bapak sleep at your house, u also want them 2 seperate and hand wash their own clothes and bring their own toiletries.... N a cousin who has a maid told me maid cannot b trusted at all and expect me 2 grill her!! Please lor, even boyfren, colleagues, frens sometimes also cannot b trusted wat...... Ya ya lets c wat excuse she will give wen she return d maid bk 2 d agency(shes capable of giving xcuses 2 cover up her sinful act)... Padahal padahal....

My werd of advice, if d maid doesnt perform juz return her back 2 d agency,. Dunt torture her physically and mentally. Dunt give her a miserable toothbrush and let her brush d whole bathroom for goodness sake.!!! Juz return her and get a replacement maid!! It makes life easier for both parties....

My heartfelt thanks for my helper for easing my load of never-ending household chores Rica and also 2 my beloved Riz for making dis possible...

R u a woman or wat??

2007-04-14T04:10:00.000-07:00

R u a woman or wat???

A close acquaintance aka Ms MAKE UP TEBAL needed some make up utensils so she asked if she could used mine from my make up bag... I ponder, hesitated and said ' Nah, ambik sendiri, go find it yourself. C if its found in d make up bag....

Her eyes popped out reali big as she rummaged thru my make up bag., her eyes almost popping out.. And let a reali LOUD SQUEAL " R u a woman or not"?????!!!!! U dun even have any brush in your make up bag..... So I nonchalantly challenged her ' Brush wat brush, U open d blusher lah, ive got 2 seperate brushes for each blusher u noe, defending myself aggresively..
Ms Make up tebal almost fainted n said I nid a SEPERATE BLUSHER BRUSH like MAC for dusting off excess blusher...

I told Ms Make up tebal dat I dont nid seperate blusher as I dunt don full make up and tebal setebal tebalnya make up as her.... So I dunt nid all those...

My definition of make up is = Concealer to hide away those eye bags
= Two way cake to for a full coverage
= Lipstick or lip gloss
= Sun- kissed blusher for a natural glow

I skip mascara and eye shadow n reserved them for special occassions... Reason being I cant stop rubbing my eyes, and I dunt wanna risk looking like PANDA ON D RUN wif all d smeared and smudged eyeshadow,mascara ... N most of d times MS MAKE UP TEBAL, I faced d werld sans make up... :)... Tell me who in d werld dare 2 face d werld sans make up???? !!! Do u??????

Its retail theraphy for me again.. I bought a new blusher and lipstick at Clinique counter not bcoz of MS MAKE UP TEBAL influence but my lipstick and blusher is finishing... N I wen 2 Ikea to add more collection of my CANDLES... Im happier wif my scented candles rather than my make up purchase...

Only a blusher, two way cake, mascara, 2 lipstick and a lip gloss in my make up bag..

I bought a new blusher and lipstick since mine is finishing soon.. Crabbie is shocked wen she called me on my mobile. She asked where am I and wen I told her ' CLINIQUE' she tot Im at a CLINIC... LOL.

Bought more candles for my rooms

Not only make up and diamonds make a GALS DAY.. Candles do too ...

I juz luv candles

Ps : Riz will be flying 2 Japan tonite after dat to Portugal again.... Arrgggghhhhhhhh!!! Crabbie knaper yg preg engkau tapi yang 24 jam ngantuk and asyik nak membuta is aku ah.... even Riz said dat aku asyik membuta ajer mengalahkan ko yg preg.... LOL

Marketing@ Geylang Market

2007-04-01T04:47:00.000-07:00

Marketing @ Geylang market

Its time 2 hit d market again as all my stock of fish, meat, prawns , cuttlefish and many more have dried up... Riz is d sort of fussy hubster who wants to eat delicious food like rendang, sambal goreng, ayam masak merah wif d sambal tumis or sambal belachan.. Y cant he b like me and d kiddos. contented juz by filling our stomach wif simple dishes such as fishball soup, chicken soup wif rice....

As usual I bought prawns, all d meat n chicken, fish. A whole loadful of stock enuff 2 last for 2 weeks.. And as per normal on a Sunday morning, geylang maket is bustling wif activity wif people from all corners of Spore, bargaining and fighting for space..... Juz as I was jostling n wrestling wif d crowd wif no pushing of coz but patiently waiting and walking slowly whilst pushing my trolley, a BIG FAT MAKCIK shouted impatiently and was literally pushing her BIG FAT ASS around so dat she could jostle her way thru.... My poor svelte figure was squashed by her BIG FAT ASS and my POOR TROLLEY was shoved by her....BARBIE nyer MAKCIK NO MANNERS betuL!! I kept my composure and ignored her and let her be.... D people ard her were quite pissed off wif her attics.... My patience finally wear off wen her BIG FAT ANKLE got stuck on my trolley and she tried 2 langkah my TROLLEY!! Buat suey ini makcik, makanan aku nak masak dia main langkah 2... At dis point of time, my blood shoot up reali high and I shouted at her " OI MAKCIK KALAU IYA PUN KURUSKANLAH BADAN ENGKAU YG GEMUK TU!! JADI TAK SUSAH ENGKAU NAK SELIT SELIT....AND JANGAN MAIN LANGKAH2 MAKANAN LAH MAKCIK.. ... N as usual d rest of d poor people who was squashed by her pun 'extra' lah.. They joined in and screwed d NO MANNERS MAKCIK.... In d end d NO MANNERS MAKCIK walked away in embarrasment, her face as red as her red tudung...

Moral of d story : If u dun wan 2 b caught wif d geylang market crowd, pergilah PASAR SEBELUM SUBUH!!!

PS: Luckily Riz and d kiddos were at d food stall enjoying their breakfast so they did not witnessed d 'gung-ho' me... My poor bibik muz be shocked seeing me losing my temper in public as she was rite behind me and she kept quite throughout d journey back home... DUnt weri bibik, I will not do dat 2 u.... :)

A new addition

2007-03-30T22:09:00.000-07:00

A new addition 2 d family

I'd like to welcome a new addition 2 d family ..... *Drum rolls* and*roll eyes* (for my tardiness), its .................... Rischa Yusrica affectionately known as bibik 2 my kiddos..... 2 day marks her 'virginal' 1st week stay in our home..... Ive finally decided dat I certainly nid someone 2 assist me at least wif cost involved.... (Theres no free lunch in the werld) ....

I hope she will be off help not a hindance 2 me.. BUt wateva it is COOKING is STILL MY FORTE and MY SECTOR.... So cooking will stil b under my CHARGE!! LOL :) Housekeeping will be HERS ENTIRELY thou:)

Dat means I wud have more time 2 blog n blog hopping rite (like Crab who is 4eva updating her blog, Im so envious)..... I will update as aggresively as her 2!! :)

So bibik. Fret not.. U need not have 2 seek my permission 2 pray.. U eat wateva I eat. U r free 2 help yourself wif d snacks, fruits in d fridge.. U r free 2 cook but for your own personal consumption only ya..... LOL....

*MAGG now have assistant liao* LOL :) Harap2 d bibik kelabu asap

6 YEAR ITCH

2007-03-11T07:39:00.000-07:00

6 YEAR ITCH??

Ive heard about d saying d ' 7 year itch'.... Mine is a year earlier than xpected... Im xperiencing d 6 year itch.. Its d very very itchy..... Its worst than a nasty mosquito bite... Even after applying tonnes of MOPIKO d itch juz wont ease away......

Is it time for me MOVE ON?? Is it time for me 2 welcum someone NEW in d family (*hint*) ??? Will my family be supportive of my decision???? (Crab, my mak n bapak).. .. Will my kiddos still receive enuff TLC.... Will they despise it or welcome it wif open arms....

Since Riz is always bz wif his heavy commitments i.e juggling his studies and werk and overseas stint, I shall make known my decision 2 him earlier than expected....I noe its not entirely his fault dat time is always not favourable on his side.... But enuff is enuff..... I nid a breather at times, I cant possibly shoulder all d responsibilities on my own.... Its a shared responsibility in case he 4gets....

My mind is no more in a turmoil.. After much consideration, hufffing and puffing my breath wif heart thumping like a blasted amplifier, a decision is finally made...I hope d in laws will not point their finger and blame me... I sincerely hope they will understand my plight...

PS: More light will be shed soon, mayb by end of d month wen everything has been finalised....

Fun fair

2007-03-10T08:39:00.000-08:00

Euro Fun fair @ Hougang

Its little wonder as to y d fun fairs in Spore r becoming increasingly unpopular and will eventually diminised n phased out... D prices r ridiculously steep.... 2 bucks for entrance fee and d price of a token/coupon is $2.50 and d cheapest ride is 2 token which is $5..... They have already earned a reasonable sum from d entrance fee, y cant they charge lesser for rides...

Initally I wanted d kiddos, Riz and yours truly 2 enjoy d SPINNING WHEEL (wateva they call it), but d cost is 3 tokens X $2.50 = $7.50 per pax x 4 pax = $30 ... Whos gonna pay $30 juz 2 spin round and round and up and down.... I could easily carry my beloved kiddos and spin them myself wif no cost involved!!! $30 beb boleh buat duit pasar aku untuk one week.... I wont waste it for a 5 mins of sheer stupidity of spinning ard..... Syura and Ash took 2 different rides each and it cost us 20 bucks..

I can foresee people wif many kiddos will try their very best 2 shun dis place... (even if u can jolly well aford it, its not worth d money) Its more worthwhile 2 spend d money on a theme park like ESCAPE theme park or WILD WILD WET where u pay an entrance fee all u nid is TIME - U have unlimited rides in the theme park... Main lah , pusing lah berkali-kali sampai mabuk, semua dah bayar upfront!!!

Woman Day

2007-03-10T08:14:00.000-08:00

Woman Day!!!

Today is a self declared woman's day aka hub-less day.... Riz is getting busy n busier by day. bz wif his werk commitment, bz juggling his school assignments and thesis, bz wif his upcoming examinations.... Bz with his overseas trip, bz wif practically everything.... Hmmmmpppfffttttt.. Instead of whining and getting irritable wif his heavy commitment, I wen to CHANGI AIRPORT SWENSENS wif d kiddos (thanks to Maryalatino's invitation) wif 2 wonderful ladies... Mel d beaming preggie mum (her dotter's name is also Asyura) and d Arabic kakak wif d adorable boy who has d same curly burly hair like my Syura...Theres a child in everyone of us coz d kiddos and d adults enjoyed d ice cream:) *MAGG cover her face in embarrasement as she was fighting wif d kiddos for d cherries and d banana on d ice-cream*

Marya .. thanksss for picking me up from my home eh.... Merdekaaa!!! :) winkzzz

Mel and d kakak (sori kak, I didnt get ya full name) .. Hope 2 c u again ya...

Beach n Swimming Outing

2007-02-24T03:24:00.000-08:00

Life's a Beach :)

Dis is kinda outdated... But its betta to be late than never..... Wat a PROSPEROUS way 2 spend the CNY long holiday at the beach wif d loyal companion of d sun, sean and d sand... Its cost-effective (free) and a healthy way to de-stress.. D kiddos r merrily bulding sand castles and snowman... N we had d whole company of 'beloved' mak's 'kampung Marsiling gang.... They came complete with all varieties of foodies.. Semua datang naik lorry ali baba....Klass u!!!

After 3 hours under d sun, my poor face n body was reali tanned and legam... Uweeekkkkkkk... I nid those whitening products badly..... D moment i got home, I soaked all d saltwater 'infested' clothings and cleansed, scrubbed. masked and moisturised my face....

Jemput jemput to be eaten at d beach.

Face under intensive 'repair'

Private CALL

2007-02-11T06:32:00.000-08:00

Private Call

Im very afraid and reluctant to pick up private calls.... Its if Im running away from someone... Or worst still its like running away from utang... BUT I certainly takder utang duit dengan siaper2 ah... Dats for sure!! Tak macam setengah orang nak berlagak lebih tapi biler part nak bayar ajer byk ajer dia nak spedo....

Its always co-incidental dat frens who call me from private nos r always those frens dat fall under d catergory of needing my favours especially taking up a loan from me...

Real scenario one :

Private Number . In Dec 2006

Hi, Ida... Dis is XXXX.. I nid 2 go 4 my op and I nid about $1000 plus.. Can u lend it to me.. I will pay u d lump sum once I receive my salary in 2 weeks time.....

$1000 is hell a lot of cash!!! Do I look like Im printing money or Im rich... Im definitely not rich ok coz Ivr never brag abt owning Lvs, Gucci or Prada (mayb Prata ader ah, coz I have many Prata instant in my fridge muakakaka)... Ive never brag abt going to highend brand preview.. Mayb d only ting I brag is about my super-market buys at Sing Shiong.. Muakakaka....

REAL SCENARIO NO TWO:

Hi Ida.... I called u earlier on but u didnt ans my kol (private number) so here I am sms-ing u....
My fren needs a lap-top and shes still short of cash>> I was tinking can I use ya credit card for d installment plan )0% interest.... Hope u can help

My reaction: Hello... Installment is indeed 0%.... Tapi if yr fren or even u didnt pay I would be footing d bill 100% and yet I dunt get d lappie.... Wat prompt u 2 choose me among all yr acquantances... Who noes I mite max out my card or my card could be freezed in d fridge among my prata instant so dat I will not go on a spending spree.....

I will b a fool if I allow myslef 2 be manupulated by all dis gimmick so my ans will be a FIRM NO!!!

REAL SCENARIO NO THREE:
Also from a private number

Hi Ida.. My mum nids $100 but my cheque will be cleared by 2morow.... I wil pay u by 2pm d min my cheq has been cleared....

Me : I transferred $100 since my fren is quite a nice n trustworthy person... N d next day she transferred d $100 back to me n called to inform me.. BUT!!!!!!!! 2 days later she called me again, dis time round...It was her fren who was cash-strapped and needed like $200 plus... Wah piang I give u an inch u want a yard... Firstly it was her mum, den her fren, s next will b her grandmother, grandfather, neighbour, d apek under d voiddeck. d people in d market is it.... Wat do u all take me 4... A WALKING ATM MACHINE is it?????

REAL SCENARIO THREE:

(It was from d same person who wanted $1000 for d op)

Hi Ida, can u transfer $50 to me....

Me : Suka hati dier ajer mintak2 transfer duit..... Tak dapat $1000, $50 pun jadik ker.. Can I juz transfer u 5 cents????? LOL.....

Please lah frens.... Bcoz of all dis incident, Im very reluctant to answer private calls....Yalah semua call nak pinjam duit... Go take a loan form someoner rich lah. from someone who is decked with LVs, Prada or Gucci from top to toe.... Not from some who wears cheap clothes from Bangkok or Bugis Street.... Take a loan from someone who literally has gold all over d body like mami jarum, no from someone who dunt even has a glint of gold on my body.. Take a loan from someone who always brag abt going to high end and posh boutique.....

I shall (self) freeze all my credit cards by freezing them into ice cubes trays...Im certainly not cash rich ya.... D only assets I have r my twin peaks albeit saggy ones (d aftermath of breastfeeding)... LOL..

D car insurance and road tax nids a renewal next mth.... Will anyone be kind enuff 2 transfer some money 2 me... ACCT no is 1800-MAGG69.... Call now...LOL....

PCK I will miz u

2007-02-11T05:48:00.000-08:00

Goodbye PCK

Almost 12 years in d running, from a small role/part in Gurmit's World, to PCK and PCK d musical...12 years of capturing d heart of Sporeans and hitting d big screen, PCK is bidding adieu 2 all ....

Sick for d whole week

2007-02-09T23:01:00.000-08:00

Sick for d whole week

Was down wif lotsa viruses for almost a week.. D whole body was weak and aching. Head spining, runny nose, bouts of flu, diarrheo.. Juz name it... I wonder how I could contract so many illnesses at one go.. N d best part was I was hub-less, Riz was away in KL and Bangkok..... I had no choice but 2 leave d kiddos at my in law house while I recuperate at home.... Couldnt believe dat after d medication, I slept almost like a log 10 hours without battling an eyelid..... N wen my tummy was growling wif hunger pangs, I wanted to prepare a simple dishlike porridge but d head kept on spining d moment I got out of bed like gasing berpusing pusing..........Had 2 kol Mcdonalds 2 d rescue even thou Macdonalds is juz a few steps away from my block.... It was absolutely bad 4 me...... Lonely, sick and almost dying....

All hell broke loose for 4 days and I was back on my feet by the 5th day... So dah baik aper lagi.... Retail theraphy lah!!!! Bought 2 tops at Bugis Street... Its a steal (can bargain some more), I kan bargain queen... Im sure a lot of shop owners hate 4 my bargaining power, but wat d heck.... I dont care

D red dress is $16, d green and brown is $18 (comes complete wif a black patent belt) and d brown dress long sleeve dress is only $23.... I wanted 2 buy a red patent heel to match d red top but was 2 lazy 2 do dat... Nway I can sniff new red shoes from Crabby's blog... I will make sure I kapo her shoes wen shes not looking, Shall go 'attack' her abode 2mrow.... Crabby has always been nice to me, paying for me.... Dats wat I call sisterhood... U go gurl!!!!!!!!!!

For almost a week, d family eats packed food coz d "CHEF of D HOUSE" was down wif bouts of viruses.....

PS: Riz overseas stint somehow or rather always coincides wif soccer tournaments. Wen hes in Europe last year, it was d EURO CUP (i tink so), and last week it was TIGER CUP at BKK... Lucky him......

Confession To make

2007-01-28T04:02:00.000-08:00

Confession of A Compulsive Disorder

I have a confession to make.... Ive had dis compulsive behaviour ....... Firstly I cant stop buying toiletries.... It doesnt matter whether its a normal household brand or an upmarket brand , I juz cant resist bringing it back home.....While most gals cant resist LVs, Gucci and Prada , I will be glad juz by buying a WATSON inhouse brand shower foam or if I have d cash, I will buy loads and loads of toiletries... I have a loadful of stocks of syampoos, shower foams, toothpaste, sanitary pads, tootbrush, soap bars (u juz name it) enough for a half a year usage... I wont have any stock -out situation here.... :) But I juz cant resist buying more.... :( Wen Im shopping at Sheng Shiong (my fav place) , d 1st section I will 'attack' is d toiletries section... And will end up buying three basket full o toiletries..... Crazy me !!!!!

Diff syampoos and shower foams for the ibu, ayah n d kiddos... Pics of toiletries dumped in the bombshelter not taken coz my bombshelter looked as if a bomb or a missile juz landed there.... Berserak nak mampos nak jalan pun takde space.... Chet!!!

Second obession is photographs....I luv photography, phototakingof myself,my kiddos, my family members, frens den compiling them into albums. Juz look at the kiddos album... I tink I have more than 10 of them... N d photographs r everywhere, on the door, on the shoe cabinet, on the TV console, d walls fridge

Photo frames on shoe cabinets.

Photos on walls, on fridge and dis is part of lil Ash and Syura's photo albums... Mine not included..... Its kinda scary coz Lil Ash is only 5 years old and SYura 2 years old... Doesnt it means dat the photo album will be ceiling high wen he will be 10 years old... LOL

Even the door is not spared...

PS: Crab, I will slowly dig out Iman's honey-bunny pic and will give it 2 u ya... I tink I do have dozens of his pics.... So u can compile them into his personal photo album ya....

Homewerk

Its time 4 me 2 buck up, pull up my socks and start paying more attention to LIL Ash school werk...Apparently , d teacher has in fact highlighted d issue dat most of his hoewerk was not completed for d whole of last year.. mueheheeheheh :) But wait a minute, its not dat Im not pushing my responsibilities , ive given my 101% attention 2 all his homewerk no matter how tired I am after a hard day's werk... My only prob is Im CHINESE- ILLITERATE. So of coz each time wen Lil Ash has Chinese howerk 2 do, I will chose 2 chuck it aside... I dunt expect him 2 b well-versed in Mandarin and noes how 2 rattle in Mandarin but Ive got no choice lah... MAndarin is so called d 2nd language or Mother tongue there (wateva they call it), wif no other options to choose, no MALAY language, no TAMIL... Only MANDARIN.... I brought up d issue 2 d teacher n principal and they reiterated back saying dat d intake of MALAY students r low so its not justifiable... But Im impressed wif d way d school and d teachers handle d students... A LOT OF TLC..... If only d hot n cun melecun TEACHER LIZAN remains as LIL ASH teacher it will even b betta.. But too bad shes taking charge of d playgroup babies there.... She is juz so happening... But MAVIS KINDERGARTEN is juz a conducive place 2 b in....

Nyway 2 day, I was transformed 2 CIKGU BEDAH again.. Thick glasses (at home I dunt put on contacts) , hair melenting2.. (rambut tak sikat) Did some revision wif Lil Ash and supervised him on his school werk... Aint mothers werld-class multi taskers... They can cook, clean d house, bringing back d bacon, iron clothes, take care of kids, tutor d kids help them wif homewerk.... N they never once sigh or complain (except for me muehehehe)

Homewerk all set 2 be handed in on Monday

Lil Ash 1st homewerk for d year 2007....

None of my kiddos slept in their own bedroom at nite coz they juz cant resist being trickled by their ayah's precious arm pit hair.. muakakkaa... See they even snuggle and cuddle in a thin matress.. HELLO hub n my dear kiddos, we have 3 beds 2 sleep on u noe.... One for each..XCept for d mumy and dedi who has 2 share a bed n have 2 fite for bed space.... :)

Sleeping

2007-01-06T23:24:00.000-08:00

SLEEPING ALONE

Now dat Lil Ash and Lil Syura r getting bigger by d day, Ive decided to train them 2 sleep all by their own... Of coz d changes and training cant b done drastically and overnite.... So d 1st step I did was to train them to take their afternoon naps in their respective rooms.... N d next step is to make their room as comfy and ideal to suit their individual needs... So in dis way they will automatically retreat to their own rooms instead of tugging tepi kain mak dia ajer wen they r sleepy.. Kasi chance lah dengan mak n d bapak nk berdua-duaan nak oi!! LOL...

IVE decided dat all rooms should have at least a bed, and some form of entertainment like a TV cum VCD player... SO instead of d ibu risking losing her vocal chords lulabying d kiddos, I' ll let d pirated Pasar malam VCDS (read: ciplak Barney or nursery rhymes) take over d job....

Will d kiddos adjust comfortably 2 d new arrangement... I dont noe, time will tell :)

Come on kiddos... Isnt it time 4 u sleep on your own... D bed is far 2 small for all of us 2 squeeze on it... Pity ya dad who has 2 sleep on d matress...

Dis good old TV has been abandoned and was on idle mode in d storeroom for months!!! I 'kapur' d TV bench from my beloved mooma's house and brought it back home....

Riz won dis on his annual D&D... 25th prize ... A DVD player...

D birth of d latest gadget at home... Dis will go along well wif lil SYura's Barney pasar malam VCDS..

Lil Syura finally sucumbed to d 'new arrangement'.. Has 2 sleep in her room... TASK ONE COMPLETED!! Success!!!!

Lil Ash room cum playroom... Playroom by d day, bedroom by d nite.... No more budget for another TV and home theathre lah son... U juz make do wif d three TV's we have lah...
href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1194/793/1600/723992/P8090770.jpg">

Definition of a sofa bed : - Bed by nite, plonking clothes bags and storage for soft toys by d day.. No wonder Lil Ash refuse 2 sleep on d sofabed....

Now d mooma can watch TV at nite in peace all by her own....

Lucky ting we reached there at 9.30pm as theres not much of browsing 2 do.... If not Riz pocket will HURT BIG TIME!! LOL.... Im juz so hepi dat Ikea's new store is located near 2 my place..... Its juz so convenient... :)

Instead of plonking d playroom wif more TOYS, I lugged back a whiteboard and blackboard from Ikea.. Its a steal at $39...

D min I saw dis at my mooma's house, I told her 2 get one for me... Its cool rite... No one smokes at home n yet we have a BIG MARLBORO CLOCK

She willstart rummaging her bag for trusted OLY-baby (OLYMPUS)and she will start snapping pics of us even wen we r in d buff... Pfffttttt... Eating, sleeping and playing she can never get enuff of our snapping our pic... She tugs her OLY-BABy in her dusty bag whereeva she goes..

My ibu's super-duper crazy.. Shes got 8 photo album of me (LIL ASH) and 5 photo albums of LIL SYURA ... Its even more than her wedding pics, 2 albums versus our 13 albums.. And she says theres more 2 come!!! Super duper crazy aint her??? Ayah even suggested 2 hae a custom-made built in wardrobe juz 2 store all d albums.... N her eyes sparkles wen this was mentioned ... Hmmmmmmmmpppttttt

So ibu. Heres our 2007 resolution juz for u....

We promise 2 b good and obedient ey ibu... So dat u can reserve your energy and also your voice (less shouting like a HDB TARZAN)....

We promise 2 pick up and clear out toys after playing so dat wont have any backache bending over and picking up our toys

We promise 2 change lesser clothings so dat u would have lesser laundry to do... A change of 5 sets to juz 4 sets of clothings a day maybe...

Lots of luv

LIL Ash and Lil Syura

Post dated pics at O BAR

Had so much fun at O- Bar. It wasnt a bad idea after all attending the party... As it was a prvate function, no booze was served at all.. And orange juice, coke and ice lemon tea was free flowing all nite long.... So all d party-goers there semua 'mabuk' orange juice, coke n lemon tea. :) D theme was DEVIL N ANGELS... I am either and ANGEL or DEVIL.. ( Maybe a combination of both :)) ... So I didnt bother 2 dress up to d theme....

It was worth d effort and time... Coz my name was called up in the lucky draw.. 3rd price beb... A HAMITON WATCH ... Mahal beb.... I checked out d price by d net d moment I reached home... muakakkakaka....

Riz u rawkzzz!! Becoz u baby sit d kiddos while I was out partying.... So d watch is for u lah... Coz I dunt do watches ey... I dun like watches... a LOLEX OR TAG maybe :)

Selfish Aunty

Selfish Aunty

Was at Banquet Compass Point wif d kiddos some time last week for dinner... Riz was in school so out of sheer boredom I brought d kiddos 2 play games at d game arcade.. So after racing wif DAYTONA and almost all d games there, I decided to have dinner at BANQUET since its not so crowded.. I reserved a seat near d chicken rice stall, ordered a chickedn rice set for d kiddos and I instructed LIL Ash to babysit LIL SYURA 4 a while while I order my food.... There were 3 people in the queue and it muz b a tiring day 4 d stall-holders as noone even bothered 2 take our orders... I tapped d shoulder of the lady on front of me and asked if she has placed her order and she shook her head... I den rold her that I nid 2 place my order as my kiddos r sitting all by their own with no adult and she smiled. and obliged..

So I called out one of d makcik : CIK, kasi saya MEE GORENGSEAFOOD satu eh, makan.. Tapi awak ikut order lah... Saya number 3 in the q.. Anak saya takder orang jaga lah jadi saya tak bleh tunggu sini...

DEN d selfish lady in front of d q whom I tot was dumb coz she queued in vain and didnt bother 2 place any order then squealed...

" I came 1st tau..... I should be served 1st" I wanna place my order"

D poor stall-holder was kinda shocked and was at lost at wat 2 do... So I told her

" Cik, u juz take her order lah and also d rest... Juz serve d food ikut queuelah... Tapi saya bukan tak nak queue lah tapi anak saya takder orang jaga...

And before I walked away, d old and selfish aunty gave me a hard stare so I barked at her " BODOH!!!!"... Kan dah kena bodoh....

Wat a shameless and also a selfish aunty...

COURTS GRAND OPENING

2006-12-17T06:39:00.000-08:00

Courts Grand Opening

Was at d Courts Grand Opening.. Reached there near closing time (half an hour to closing time) expecting dat all d crowd would have dispersed n are all on d way back.. But BOY was I wrong! There was a throng of crowd queueing up juz 2 enter d MEGASTORE... Dah macam nak chop passport at WOODLANDS CHECKPOINT!!! But thankfully d queue was moving and managed 2 enter d MEGASTORE in 10 mins... SInce lil Ash was already fast asleep r 'pram-less', Riz had 2 carry Lil Ash....

In my shopping list :- A cordless fon
:- A dryer

My shooping list r my WANTS not my NEEDS.. I m juz browsing around 2 check out d prices not 2 buy it ... NO BUDGET, NO FULUS for now...

D deck fon is a steal only $39.90 ( A $10 discount) and d corded fon is only am a mere $1 ..... Cheap rite....

Its time I make full use of my house fon... N its high time I stop relying on my HP to make outgoing calls even wen Im at home.... My excuse is always dat d cordless phone is not charged and d batt is flat... Now dat I have 4 fons wif 2 different phone lines... Theres no reason y d fon-lines r under-utilised...One fon for each room sans d bathroom of coz....

So frens now u now how 2 reach me ya.. Kol my home number if u wanna reach me ya... Either one number ya.... :)

D entrance 2 COURTS MEGASTORE... D largest COURTS STORE in d WERLD!

Enzer fon RAWKS!! I give dis "MADE IN SPORE FON" A THUMBS UP... Reason being, my old ENZER FON was accidentally soaked 2getha wif d curtains in a pail of soapfull water... I towel dry d fon and VIOLA d fon was in working condition d next day.. A MIRACLE... Maybe its waterproofed!!!! :)

Spend less than 50 bucks for 3 fons.. Its really a steal

I brought back 2 small bags only!!! Phewwwww!!

Twice Unlucky

2006-12-14T07:27:00.000-08:00

Twice Unlucky

Riz car got hit twice on SUN and its sheer co-incidence dat it happened between hours apart.. N it was Riz who 'kissed' d back of d car... N both was MALAYSIAN CAR...

1st car : Riz was busy yakking and yakking away dat he released d clutch pedal so d car rolled at a relatively slow speed and slightly 'kissed' a MALAYSIAN REGISTERED car in front... D driver an Ahbeng look-alike was fuming mad and exclaimed :

U dun noe how 2 drive is it??? N he proceeded 2 check d car 'backside', his number plate, d boot.. I feel so tempted 2 shove a magnifying GLASS down his ass him 2 ascertain any damages.... D anti climax part was d CAR can be categorised under " DAH BOLEH ANTAR SCRAP".. Its a badly maintained PROTON SAGA wif a slight dent down d bumper.... Riz number plate chipped and the last alphabet broke... D driver then walked away.....

In d afternoon, as Riz was making a rite turn towards a slip road. He 'kissed' d van in front yet again wif a KABOOM sound... N in d van was my sis-in-law, bro in law, Lil Ash and my nephew... I was so frustated I exclaimed " Can u stop tailgating so u have more time 2 react... Riz stepped out of his car only 2 realise dat all d cars in front has 'kissed' each other's car.... D damn car in front had aparently JAM BRACKED while making a rite turn so all d cars behind had 2 jam brake 2 avoid any collision.... D CULPRIT A MALAYSIAN REGISTERED CAR AGAIN...

If u r tinking how UNLUCKY Riz could be geting involved wif 2 MALAYSIAN car, tink again... Give up?? Mesti lah MALAYSIAN CAR bcoz we drove up 2 JB wif my in laws for visiting... Of coz lah it has 2 b MALAYSIA CAR.... MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!

Riz dear, is it time 2 follow up wif d car salesperson for a new car perhaps... LOL :)

LRT joke of d day

2006-12-14T06:47:00.000-08:00

LRT entertainment

Im very bad wif d buses within Sengkang vicnity.... Actual fact, Im generally very bad wif buses.. Im betta taking trains and Im a pro in taking cabs *gulp* But I have 2 admit dat d feeder service in Sengkang sucks BIG TIME and d PTC should do something 2 improve d trunk services there.. Thank GOD I dun have 2 rely to any of d feeder services or LRT around as 1stly Riz would always ferry me ard and 2ndly my humble abode is strategically located near 2 d MRT, interchange, Compass Point so its juz mins away there..

Last weekend I had 2 send d kiddos 2 my sis-in-law house at ANCHORVALE as I have lessons 2 attend to... Techically speaking, it was a mere 5 mins drive from home or a 10 mins walk from my flat (COMPASSVALE RD)... For obvious reasons Riz has his werk commitments n so I had 2 make my own way there.... N as usual there were no cabs in sight. Ever notice dat cabs r always cruising ard wen they r not needed, n wen they highky sought after, there r none 2 b found... Grrrrrrrr.... I was 2 lazy to walk so I decided 2 hop on the LRT wif my kiddos.... D story unfolds : read on

There were 2 nyonyas... One nyonya in her late 60's wif her Indonesian maid and d other nyonya in her 50's wif her granddaughter who is about 4 years old.... They boarded d LRT 2 getha and d 4 year old pestered her grandma to unwrap d sweet... D grandma unwrapped d sweet n passed it 2 d little gal but d little gal dropped d sweet... D little gal den pestered her grandma 2 pick up d sweet for her (WAT A BRAT).. D grandma picked up d sweet and rinsed it wif d water from d water bottle...

D 70 year old grandma wif d maid then looked at d little gal and said "

Ah girl, dunt eat d sweet. Dirty u noe... Throw away

D little gal den stick out her little tongue and ignored d 70 year old grandma

D 70 year old grandma got offended, caused a stir and started nagging...

Ni mei you li mau (U go no manners).... N repeated it AGAIN n AGAIN n AGAIN...

D little gal oblivious 2 wateva rukus dat was going on ignored everything and was enjoying her LRT ride.. Her grandma was embarrased and apologised 2 d 70 year old grandma... But d 70 year old grandma was still offended and kept of nagging ...N she den switched from mandarin 2 malay to her maid.. ( WAT A TRI-LINGUAL tongue she got there)

" Anak parampuan (perempuan) memang ini machiam (macam ).. Manyak ( Banyak) kurang ajar"....

D 50 year old nyonya patience was wearing off. So she barked back...

Aiyah... Dis gal is only 4 years old.... Wateva u say she wont understand fully... There will be kids wen they r small they r good but wen they grow up they will be ROTTEN! But some kids wen they r small they r bad BUT wen they r BIG they r fillial...

I was anticipating a CAT FITE about 2 begin wif 2 NYONYAS bcoz dua dua tak mau kalah.. IN d end one of them alighted first and d debate ended there n then... But d 70 year old nyonya kept on nagging n nagging away.....

MORAL OF D STORY... It takes 5 mins 2 reach ANCHORVALE from COMPASSVALE and 10 MINS BY FEET... BUT IT TAKES 4EVA IN AN LRT RIDE... Took me close to 30 mins to reach my sis in law house.....

Hepi 31st Bday

2006-12-10T07:47:00.000-08:00

Hepi 31st Bday

Riz will always feel 'handicapped' weneva I leave him alone wif d kiddos even if its for a short while... His excuse was dat he feel bored without me ard ... I suspect he cant handle d kiddos alone!!! As usual d moment I stepped out of d home, he would sms me or kol me (dah macam zaman matair-matair dulu)..

On Friday , I wanted 2 get his surprise birthday gift.. So I called him and told him dat I would b heading 2 town 2 run some errands...

Hub: I will be meeting my supplier at Raffles Place. I can pick u up
Me: Its ok, I can always take d MRT.
Hub : Takperlah , u go shooping 1st lah.. I will wait for u... MRT crowded
Me: Never mind lah.. U go home sraight after werk.. I will make my own my way home
Hub : takper lah. I will wait 4 u
Me : (Frustated and irritated already) Im buying your present lah!!! Grrrrrr

In d end I had 2 let d cat out of d bag lah!!! And I had 2 lost my temper for dat!! Wheres d element of surprise... Potong stim betol lah Riz nie!! Of coz I felt bad for losing my cool so I smsed hub

Me: Sori lah for getting angry.. I was tinking of getting ya bday gift and I had no idea yet wat 2 get for u..

Hub : Dont waste money...

And he stopped calling and smsing me after dat.. Takut I lost my cool again tak.. muakakaka.... Tx Sharifah for accompanying me... GALREN hugZ***

Hepi Birthday My LUV!

Hepi Birthday MY LUV!!!

9 December = Riz bday... Dis year I tot of holding Riz's bday wif a lotsa 'frens' and 'relatives' and celebrating it outdoor.. So I decided 2 spend his BIRTHDAY at d ZOO!! Lotsa 'relatives' n 'frens ' there rite!!!

I sacrificed a lot of my time and sleep for d zoo trip.. Woke up early 2 cook so dat d kiddos will have proper food 2 eat at d zoo.. Nway d zoo food prices r so steep. A bottle of coke cost $2.90 and a bottle of mineral water cost $2 can... Dats like 3 x d price outside... Crazy!!!

Our zoo trip dah macam picnic... We brought nasi lemak, egg sandwiches, nuggets, fishballs n hotdogs.... Sharifah brought her nephew Mikhail along as well..

It was indeed an enjoyable but tiring outing... 6 hours in d zoo... I will let d pics do d talking since Im 2 lazy 2 type

Patience Tested

2006-11-30T06:23:00.000-08:00

Patience Tested Time & Time Again

After 3 mths of bottling up my frustrations and swallowing all d negative vibes, YOURS TRULY finally FLARED UP N I REALLY MEAN FLARE UP big time!!

For 3 months, my partner who is kepala angin by nature would pull a long face, would talk to me one minute and could ignore me d very next minute... N wen shes not in a good mood she would bang tings, and d worst part she would even bang my BOOKS, PEN n personal stuff.... I could be asking her something and she would 'jeling' me and chose 2 ignore me.... EVERYONE couldnt stand her attitude and was asking me HOW I COULD B TOLERANT 2WARDS HER DESPITE D SHIT SHE GAVE ME...But wen shes in a GOOD MOOD, she would talk 2 me nicely and shes as nice as an ANGEL.... But she can be transformed 2 a DEVIL d next minute....

2day I finally FLARE up... Knowing dat shes in a bad mood by seeing her black n F***-typed face, I sensed dat she would start banging tings ard so I kept all my personal stuff away n lay her stuff rite under her nose... (Let her bang her own things n NOT MINE) ... I was already having a BAD HEADACHE and my throat was reali bad n dry...

I den nudged her 2 ask some questions.. My partner whose face was already black gave me a 'NOT HEPI WAT D HELL U WAN FROM ME' look and 'jeling' me... SInce YOURS TRULY wasnt feeling well n has been swallowing all d negative vibes and bad treatment she gave me ... I BARKED at her back

ME (ANGRY and BARKING GRRR) shouted dis disparaging remarks 2 her :

Ko ni dah apasal ...Jangan ko carik pasal dengan aku... Dua bulan aku dah sabar.. Ko marah ko maki ,aku sabar ajer.. Ko bang bang barang aku pun aku buat bodoh ajer... KO dengan ko punya KEPALA ANGIN CAN GO TO HELL.. aku diam , aku sabar ko pijak kepala aku... KO nie memang besar punya KURANG AJAR...Darah naik!

I tot she would start banging tings ard BUT she ......................................................................................................................................................................

mumbled sofly :

I tak tau u nak ask me questions lah....

Aik selama nie dier tunjuk terror dia , harimau betina dah jadi tikus pulak... Aku yg tikus dah jadi harimau lintar pulak....Hang kata han teroor pi ah!

MORAL OF STORY IS : All d kepala angin people, please GET A LIFE!!! OR GO TO HELL... I always believe dat no matter who bad your day or how bad your mood is, do not let it affect yourself n show tantrums ard...

Your Rubbish is Not My Rubbish

2006-11-23T06:30:00.000-08:00

Your Rubbish is not my Rubish

I juz feel like telling dis inconsiderate neighbour of mine ' Your RUBBISH is not my RUBBISH, U RUBBISH!!! N dunt give me RUBBISH (EXCUSES) for not disposing your RUBBISH in d RUBBISH (REFUSE) CHUTE, U RUBBISH! I wont take ANY MORE RUBBISHES from u AGAIN or u'll get RUBBISH from me!!!!

But shes juz an makcik whom wont understand it anyway... But shes DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! She treats d refuse chute area as a dumping ground. She dumps unwanted toys, plants, exposed bags of leftover food all over d refuse chute area... N most of d times I have 2 throw d rubbish down d chute or in worst case down d block... I have 2 drag her d gabbage all d way from 3rd floor 2 d 1st floor... KNN nyer makcik... Aper dier ingat aku kuli dier ker!!! I have 2 do it if d cleaner has finished her duty for d day. N there were many occassions wen d smell gets prettybad, I have 2 scrub d floor wif soap n water.... If not my house will stink like a refuse chute or in worst cases an INCINERATOR n can see lizards n cockroaches 'partying' there... Barbie betol!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr.... N worst still my house is facing d refuse chute..... DOnt u tink shes one inconsiderate old lady.... She muz b tinking Im paying for d conservancy charges so wats d problem... Den wat bout me n d other neighbours we r also paying for d conservancy charges U FOOL...

Ive ever mentioned 2 her 2 b considerate and she will put a stop 2 her nonsense .. And after a while she wil start her 'buang tebiat again' would juz dump rubbish on the floor instead of dumping it down in the chute......

Hmmm... If only I have a magic wand, some extra ordinary power or an aladdin lamp, Im going 2 transform her to A TONG SAMPAH , a REFUSE CHUTE or even an INCINERATOR... LOL ...Juz bcoz her unit is so far away from d refuse cute, she cant b bothered... Juz wats her problem in dumping it straight in d bin...

Ive addressed dis matter 2 d TOWN COUNCIL n NEA... N ive even have photos 2 proof.. IN action some more... I curi2 snapped her photo wif my handphone cam while pretending 2 sms someone.... Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.... Lets see if she still dare 2 dispose her rubbish freely again after D FINE..... :) Thks TOWN COUNCIL n NEA 4 d immeadiate action.... (I suffered in silence for 2 years n gave dis makcik chance but she refuse 2 heed my advice, so I had to retort 2 drastic actions)

Wah degan tak bersalah dier buang plastic sampah yg penuh dgn sisa2 makan kat depan umah aku... Dis refuse has been thrown overnite and d smell was reali bad by day time

My house is juz a few steps away from d refuse chute... Xcuse my tuala mandi ya...

Wat a name! Wat a shame !

2006-11-18T08:43:00.000-08:00

Wat a name ! Wat a shame!

I received my my subscribed mag thru my mail box... I was looking forward 2 read d it wen I noticed dat d typo error on my poor father's name was unacceptable... SHIT! Wat were d staff tinking wen they printed d mailing list out...

A living proof dat despite d age difference and r no longer neighbours, these TWO GUYS r still BUDDIES n have so many tings to talk about wen they mit... U go GUYS!!!

Two's a company, Three's a crowd

Dis entry is for my SIGNIFICANT HALF.... I seek your kind understanding ya :)

I couldnt agree less wif d saying TWO IS A COMPANY n THREE IS A CROWD.... If I have another kid wouldnt my kid b lonely as three would b an odd number.... Which means I nid to have 4 kids so dat it would b even n in pairs.. Oh no....... I tink Im hepi wif my present arrangement ya hubster.... No cajoling please!!

Reason No ONE

Even wen Lil SYura is testing d kueh raya, his bro wil stil b her bodyguard

Reason NO 2
Wen out visiting at frens or relatives house, they would play 2getha and stick 2 each other like siamese twins

Reason NO 3
After a hard and tiring day of jalan raya, they even wanna sleep close 2 each other.. Very loving each other hor

C wat I mean. Two's a company, three is a crowd... U get it hubster... D MAN DUN GET IT!

Humble

2006-11-12T08:21:00.000-08:00

Humble

I absolutely absolutely aboslutely have 2 blog abt dis...... I am absolutely touched dat someone who is very intelect, learned and rich n famous and dabbled in politics has no airs abt his status (n d whole family as well)....

Riz n I attended his colleague's open house by d private pool. There was food glorious food.. Losbter, huge prawns, stingrays n many mre delicacies.... Lil Ash n Syura were of coz disheartened n cranky coz they didnt get 2 swim or waddle in d at d private pool (they normally swim there)... Takkan dgn baju kurung nak swimming nak oi!! So I suggested dat Riz eats 1st while I feed d kiddos n once hes done he will bring d kiddos by d pool or d jacuzzi so dat I can eat in PEACE!!! So d moment hes done gobbling all d food he brought d kiddos jalan-jalan.... N at d same time, I saw dis young nominated AP or MP ( wateva they call it) came for d open house invitation... They smiled and d wifey salam me .. I den wen 2 fill up my plate wif lobster prawns n noodles n intend 2 eat my fill PEACEFULLY.... I chose a seat in a corner where I could hardly be seen.... I refuse 2 share seats wif any of d other tai-tais coz we r poles apart..... Duduk sorang lantak itu lobster n udang n mee goreng was MY PRIORITY.... I saw dis MP and his wife was seated about 2 tables away from me wif their plates of food on d table..... Den the Mp's wife smiled at me n seeing dat Im alone, she actually got her kids 2 shift d plates of food on my table n hey sat wif me..... Im of coz honoured lah!!! Im a nobody, she could have chosen 2 sit beside a lawyer's wife or a CEO wife but she chose 2 sit wif me juz bcoz Im alone.... N den we started 2 talk....From dat day, I learned dat normally d rich & famous people wont always have 2 brag about their wealth and buys coz they could afford it .... Unlike some, baru beli itu beg LV lah, Gucci lah bragging n flauting it as if they r d only one who can afford it... Dapat invitation for LV or Gucci preview also they can brag as if they own d whole world.... Good noes how much credit they r revolving on their plastic...

My point here is if u r truly rich , u wont nid 2 show dat u rich coz u r rich BUT those who like 2 flaunt dat they r rich by buyig dis n dat, they r actually not... I salute d MP and d family for their humble-ness.. No airs about them at all....

Yok jalan raya Yok

2006-11-12T07:53:00.000-08:00

Yok jalan Raya yok

If my feet n legs can talk, Im sure they will screw me or even F me upside down..From Day one of raya til 2 day, Ive bin jalan raya-ing non stop from d morning til d wee hours of d d nite.. (weekdays sometimes included too).. Not dat I am very kemaruk 2 go out collecting 'collection' for my kiddos or Im very deprived of jalan raya-ing during my childhood days but Ive far too many paternal n maternal aunties and uncles...It doesnt help dat they r staying all over d island.... We r hardly at home for raya.... N my poor tummy n intestines muz b working doubly hard wif all d open house dat Ive attended for d past few weeks....

I hardly have time 2 update my blog let alone on my pc or so.. I tink I nid another break again . *winkszzz 2 Riz.... :)

5 years in d making

My 1st Eva Cost Cutting Raya

I did my part as a dutiful mooma n wifey dis year... For d 1st time eva, I didnt do any massive shopping at Geylang bazaar 4 d house... All I lug back from Geylang bazaar was d dengdeng, otak2 n kropok lekor... N mind u, I went 2 geylang bazaar 5 days consecutively after RIZ is back in town.. LOL... I was tempted 2 buy a few of d carpets there but Riz reminded me dat we have 2 many carpets 'rotting' in d bombshelter waiting 2 b bombed!!

My curtains, table runner, alas bantal n all d other alas r all recycled from last year raya..... D carpet was d 2nd carpet I bought for d house back in 2001 which I hardly used... Its a 5 year old under-utilised carpet dat was found 'idling' in d bombshelter.... Banyak jugak harta karun yg jarang n also langsung tak di gunakan di bombshelter... Poster frames, photo fames, carpets,etc...

Since I did some early shopping/preparation during d holidays in BAngkok n KL, I didnt have 2 buy much things for raya as well...

OVERSEAS SHOPPING = CHEAP CHEAP
D vase, wooden tissue box, candles, teakwood ornaments n wooden trays r all from d LAND OF SMILES... SAWIKAP.. BANGKOK... Bought it during d holidays there...

Even d whole family baju kurung fabric were bought during my previous KL trip.. In RM...

BUT I stil cant resist shoppping for kiddos clothes n I did spend a bomb on them.... Abang Abu (my cuzzy) even spotted Syura's dress.... Kudos 2 Abang Abu for being able 2 distinguish brand names.

Abang Abu : Baju Syura Burberry
Me : Macam maner Abang Abu tau
Abang Abu : Kain Burbery kan macam gini
Me : ye tak ye eh

But I have a big problem now... No matter how hard I tried cost cutting measures, I could hardly see any difference as I will end up spending d money elsewhere... Damn it..... Next year I will try harder den :)

Dis year my house ader lampu lap lip diamond!

D wall d furnishing carpet table runner r from d same color theme.. beige... Im obssesed wif white and cream color

U r will b greeted by our wedding pic d moment u stepped in my house

We visited many houses from day one till 2 day 2 cover as many houses as we could.. macam nak tercabut tapak kaki ku...

Havent bin blogging much lately as Im practically tied up wif raya preparations all by myself... Shopping for kiddos clothes, house preparations, kueh mueh preparations and etc...

Sweet Hubster

I dont normally praise my hubster .. not 2 frens n not in d blog.. D only ting dat I normally mentioned abt him is wen has 2 travel for his job (N ihave 2 stay in my mil house YAWN!) or wen he showered me wif gifts... Other than dat no praises for him at all! Wat a good wife I am!! Pfffftttttt!!!!!

Riz is more like my little and big bro, fren and enemy, n MY PUNCHING BAG!!!! I absolutely do not ABUSE HIM okay coz Im no JOJO SInclair.... N he has certainly not lay a finger on me b4.. ( He only 'abused' me wif household chores, hes 2 lazy 2 help me out)Wen Im feeling down, I would call him n yak yak n yak til I release all my tension.. Wen I juz feel like talking wen Im imsoniac , even wen hes asleep I would continue yaking n yaking like theres no 2morow n still hes willing 2 hear wif his eyes half opened... Try nudgin me wen Im fast alsleep n I will roar like a drunk lion...

2day he kinda surprised me... As I was getting as little as 5 hours of sleep every nite bcoz of baking raya cakes... my eyes couldnt take it anymore by 8 pm.... 4 consecutive late nites from 10pm til 3am reali tire me out completely...

Me : Im reali sleepy.. Im hungry but Im 2 lazy 2 eat.... I feel like eating something cheesy... Nanti sahur u pandai2 lah masak maggi coz Im gonna sleep til 2morow... Pl dun disturb me and please take care of d kiddos

I den took a short nap at 9pm n Riz actually nudge me shortly after...

Me : Yang, Im reali sleepy. Dun disturb me lah... Grrrrrrrr

Hiatus

2006-10-15T07:30:00.000-07:00

Hiatus

Mind my hiatus.. Dis blog has been abandoned for quite some time.... Ive been bz or rather bored 2 death having 2 sleep over at my mil house for 2 weeks on weekday nites....... No privacy no housewerk 2 do.... N d most important ting no hubster by my side... I wonder how people can stay under d same roof as their mil..One ting for sure I cant... .... Extend my stay longer and I would end up in WOODBRIDGE!!!

Im back to my abode... Back to wearing my micro mini shorts and tank top (AT HOME ONLY!!!) Back doing household chores......

Dis year Ramadhan is something not so memorable for me... Riz was away for 2 weeks plus... I dont wish 2 elaborate much..... Enuff said..... Noe dat Im back at home, even thou I have tonnes of hswerk awaiting me , IM SO MUCH HAPPIER!!! My ears dont hurt and my heart dont ache.... No more NOISE POLLUTION.....

Ive baked chocolate chip cookie n my kek kukus 2day.... Yummyyyyyy....

Lelong Lelong!!

2006-09-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

Lelong Lelong!

As usual its d time of d year whereby d yearly spring cleaning needs 2 b done yet again.... N also d usual clearing of d wardrobe again as well.... I dun have d time n energy 2 publish all d pics of all d things Im clearing... But Im clearing

1) Its a inflated 'tent like' wif many plastic balls in it. (waist high).. It comes wif d pump as well .Retailing at Toys R Us for 80 bucks (i tink so) I cant post d pics as Ive inflated it oredi. Im giving it away

2) An old Navy Top(2 years) worn once by Syura (she hates long sleeves) and a pink OSH KOSH skirt (2 years)... My dotter has juz turned 2 but she has 2 wear OSHKOSH n GUESS size AGES 3 years n above...

N Im sad n hepi coz Syura shoved her milk bottle away n snatched Lil Ash's milk bottle and drank it hepily n smiling away.... Sad coz will she b constipated after drinking lil Ash 'cheap n budget' milk... Hepi coz her milk consumption is very high n GAIN IQ is quite x... She can easily consume a whole tin within a WEEK... N if shes able 2 switch to a 'budget n cheaper' brand, y not... Milk is still milk. We r jus paying 4 d brand n packaging ... It stil derives from cows. Cows have branded and not branded one meh.... Cow ader pakai LV ker? Gucci ker?? LOL

A tin of GAIN IQ is abt $27 n a bigger tin of NESPRAY cost only abt $17..... If shes not constipated and theres no effect in her diet by one week or so, Im gonna switch 2 NESPRAY... Cheappp cheeappppp.. Both my kiddos had 18 mths of my d best milk which is my from my BOOBIES....

Lost 3K

2006-09-30T06:00:00.000-07:00

Sadness in my eyes

For d 1st time eva, I decided 2 stroll d 4-eva packed Orchard Road all alone of a busy Fri... No kiddos in tow, no hubbies oops no hubi in tow too.... N I took d train (not cab) also.... I was feeling rather down coz I lost quite a big some of money... I wont mention d amt but d amt could have paid off another plasma, 2 lappies n even 2 or 3 SPEEDO from Loius Voitton.... Hey, Its gone juz like dat but its not thru gambling or tikam tikam nombor ah... I dont GAMBLE,period.. Wats gone is gone lah.. Money gone can always be earned again....Riz say if its meant 2 b mine it wil b mine someday....Wah cakap senang.. Tolak lah sikit duit kat kiter cik abang oi...

Its no fun at all going out all alone without my kiddo n hub.... I dont enjoy it at all... I feel something is missing from me.. Its juz like walking wif one leg and one arm ... Next time if Im feeling down, I will lug my 2 kiddos wif me and we will 'tawaf' d busy ORCHARD RD 2getha getha....

Met Crab 2 and we 'buka' at FAREAST, N d Jenny came over much later....

Ya ya, dis will b 1st n last time I feelingfeeling single again... 1stly I didnt enjoy a bit of it and 2ndly Riz kept on calling my hp and kept asking me where I was (even thou he has given me permission 2 go out).... So irritating dis man, its as if I ran away from home.... Wen I was home he was all smiles as if I was back from a foreign country for like so many donkey years........ At least now he noes how I feel wen hes back late from werk every nite...

Jenny n Crab

Twins juz bought d same pair of shoes but diff color thou:

Ramadhan

2006-09-30T05:39:00.000-07:00
