overdue. i owe it to you.

i wanna totally waste my time blogging today since they made me sit in an 8 hour meeting yesterday. i kid you not.

8 hours.

9.30am-7.00pm. how many hours is that?

9 hours kan? sigh. thats prolly more sleep than i get in a night. there's nothing i hate more than being stuck in a room with the a/c in full blast with 9 aging men with bad hair and bad teeth.
geez.

im gonna talk about my weekend. and i wanna paste it in my email and cc all those men in the meeting yesterday. NOT.

it started during D's birthday. his colleague actually got him a really decent gift. a little packet of herbal remedy. its been quite a while ever since me and D indulged in any herbal remedies. we decided to wait until the weekend to try it out.

Friday, D came home from work, mummy took us to dinner and then we had to cancel midnight movie plans as we were tired, full and feeling extremely lazy. we decided to try out some herbal remedy for natural healing. It was, as D slurred 'good shit'. Consequences soon followed. The usual.

The Night ended with me in the kitchen fixing us a cold cut meat sandwich.

Saturday, with the birthday BBQ invitations being sent out for the night, i had to get up early and tag mummy to get some last minute stuff. GAWD. my head seriously was heavy. the aftermath la ni. We had planned the menu the night before so it wasn't that hard shopping for stuff, thank god for that.

reached home. mummy left for a wedding while me and D were left with piles of stuff to be done. We worked for about two minutes then D decided he wanted to have a look at Trek bikes somewhere in cheras/kajang as recommended by some guys we met few days back.

I cant believe the prices of these bikes. like seriously. The dude, Khairi recommend that D buy Trek bikes since they were the best and Lance Armstrong uses them for all his races. Duh. I reminded D that Lance Armstrong also was diagnosed with prostate cancer using Trek Bikes. well, maybe not because of the bikes, but really, do you really wanna risk your balls. Even though you have two? The cheapest model costs like RM2200. Can you believe the bikes cost more than motorcycles and yet not insured? Sheesh.

Anyways, we're gonna go and buy the bike tonight! Then we can go cycling every night. or maybe every other night. or maybe once a week, at least. On our crusade for fitness. :)

The BBQ was awesome. You see;

14th Nov - D's birthday
19th Nov - my birthday
19th Nov - my parent's anniversary

so, the guest was a mix of people. mummy's workmates. my closest friends. few relatives. one neighbor. my Indonesian friends. D's family. we had it in our garden which was really nice. D's mama bought us a cake. i received birthday gifts, which made me a happy clam since technically, it wasn't even my birthday yet. N came much later, bearing a T-shirt which said 'KISS MY ASS'.

we yapped for a bit outside in the garden. the usual. then we continued in my bedroom. the guest were thinning out and D was helping cleaning up. didnt realize it was close to midnight when D came upstairs to join us. N was in the middle of relating one of her life's drama.

I told N to sleep over. D told N to sleep over. I gave N a spare toothbrush, a new yellow and gray striped panties and borrowed her my pink polka dot pajamas with the teddy bear on the front.

D moved into the guest room to give us some girlygirly time. Girls had some herbal remedy treatment. Yak yak yak yak yak. Snuggled in bed and watched License to Wed. Few minutes later, N was starving. We went downstairs. N gobbled some leftover pasta and I ate a slice of Chocolate Indulgence. And then went straight to bed. Model behavior.

I woke up early the next day. Well, if 9 is early. Flipped my eyes open and immediately went looking for D. Snuggled beside him back to sleep. N got up at 12. I already made lunch. She claimed she thought it was still early as the room was still dark. Yeah. My room is always dark if the blinds are pulled down. Kinda like a hotel, but even better. Cos it can go almost pitch black.

We were contemplating what to do for the day. I wanted to get my gift at LowYat. D wanted to take me to Habib to get gift. N said if we were going to LowYat, she wanted to pop by Pavilion for donuts. (Pop by is an understatement. Pop by doesn't include queuing for an entire lifetime). I didn't get the gift after all. I seriously doubt the life span and quality. Nevermind. I'll think of something better. We got N's birthday gift though. Something to complement her iPOD.

had dinner and then came home. was brushing my teeth when D called me. it was few minutes to midnight. almost my birthday.

Babe, what are doing in there?
mrushing mah ffefff..(brushing my teeth)

come out after that okay? I have your birthday gift here.

hmpeellyy?? (really?)


i opened the toilet door. and did a little dance. he laughed. i rinsed and sat on his lap. he teased me with the usual tell me how much you love me ritual as he always does before giving me what i want.

and then he slipped his hands in his pocket.... and took it out...and gave it to me.

yay!
yay!
yay!
yay!

i love you babes, love you. love you. love you.

my entire birthday was filled with birthday wishes from him. I think he wished me happy birthday 40 times. and every time it made me smile. :)

having said that, i believe this year i received other birthday gifts that marked milestones in my life.

1. having D in my life. what a blessing. the best gift ever. a new step in my life. nothing has changed yet so much has changed.

2. i've been driving since i was in my second year of uni. had my own car ever since. and now for the first time ever after all those years driving around my so-called owned car, i'm finally owning one. yeah, for real. the first time ever this year i'm starting to fork out my own money. funny, i always thought the first car i would be paying for would be a locally manufactured car. thank you mummy and papa for loaning all those cars all these years and letting me get away with pretending that I actually own them.


and since the Monday was my birthday & mummy and papa's anniversary, we all had a seafood dinner by the beach. we were almost done when it rained. i ran off with my coconut in my hand to save myself from getting soaked. ha ha.

i tried to imagine what it would be like if champagne in the east were served in coconut shells instead of champagne flute. people would struggle that's for sure. you'd need both hands. and risk looking like a monkey.

thank you everyone for making my birthday (and the days before that) beautiful.
thank you for all the well wishes.
thank you boss for posting my birthday wish on the web. cool la you.
thank you for all the gifts.
everybody rocks.

ps; call me a freak but there's always this trick i like to play on him everyday when he comes home. I'll find a spot and hide, usually behind the door. And wait for him to park, lock his car, take-off his shoes, keep his shoes, find his keys ...honestly this takes absolutely forever. Mummy usually gives me the low-down watching him from the armchair. then when he turns the key, walks in on my parents and greet them, I'll scream at him from behind the door. I love shocking him like that. Melatah ntah ape2 and me and mummy will keel with laughter. i stopped doing that when he started to figure it out. Last week, i put on a cardigan the same shade as my quilt and sat on the floor on my side of the bed. He walked in. Closed the door. Took off his shirt. I watched him. He still didnt realize that i was there. He sat on the computer table and started tapping away on his laptop. I stared at him from across the bed. Geez, he's so oblivious. He got up and put his watch away. He was now closer to me. I saw him glance under the bathroom door. Probably checking if the lights were on and whether I might be in the toilet. I sat there staring at him. He sat down again at the laptop table. Twenty minutes had passed. I was seriously getting fidgety. He tapped for a few minutes and then glanced at the toilet again. Without realizing I was there staring at him. From the toilet, turning his head towards the laptop, he did a double take. His eyes suddenly stopped at me. He must've suddenly realized. I stared at him not moving at all. Geez, i wish you could see the look on his face. He looked as though he was about to faint.

No worries. I feel younger everyday.

Happy Birthday to me.

I had a fabulous, fabulous weekend.

Yesterday,

I've never seen anyone with a dozen JCO look glum.
It doesn't add up.

Eat up, luv. We have another dozen here.

to the one i love

To My Better Half,


Happy Birthday

May all your dreams be fulfilled and May all your wishes come true.

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true

Deepavali Special

  1. on Wednesday, i celebrated my Syawal raya since on Tuesday i completed my puasa 6. Slow, i know.
  2. Thursday was Deepavali.
both of us were well into the mood of the festivities, so we chose to skip work on Friday. we went to run a few errands before deciding to go and jalan-jalan and waste whatever was left of our money.

we bought books. many many books. i can't believe i still read books from the 'young adults section' of Borders and they cost more that D's book which is three times thicker than mine. Why? Whyyyy?

Anyways Borders should rethink their arrangement. In MPH, my books are under 'Romance' and in Kinokuniya it's under 'Fiction'. Borders make me look bad. Penat je scan all the aisle, last2 kena proceed to the second floor- children's section. This is BAD.

Anyways.

D was inside this camera shop which was boring beyond words. I was strolling up the shops nearby. It caught my eye. Could it be?

I ran back to the shop and dragged D all the way to the display.


bearbricks@nike, the curve

he's amazed.

and still is.

mummy said "kenapa mata die sebelah takde?"

I hate it when people misspell his name.

What else did i do during the 4 day weekend.

Erm,

We went kayaking twice.
Thursday and Saturday.
I enjoyed the view. D rowed the kayak.
Good Boy.

We watched Revolver in bed.
I like. I love Jason 'Handsome Rob' Statham.
But i didnt understand half the movie.

We went to the Bike Friendly City launch.

Me and Mummy slept at 3 making cakes.
Just for fun.

D ate one slice everyday. Sugar high.



Erm, i also

scrubbed my sink.
fluffed my pillows.
put the dirty laundry in the laundry basket.
made breakfast on Sunday morning.
visited the neighbours' cukur jambul for the baby.
Rania Qasrina. Sounds very princess-y eh?
Like Queen Rania of Jordan.

Yesterday we got a new cat.
Very very pretty.
Wani wanted to name it Marble.
D wanted to name it Gargle.
Mummy wanted to name it Bushy.
Gee said to name it Mika. She initially called it Michelle.
'ingatkan betina, rupenye pondan!!'
I was making a sandwich for D this morning when i saw it/him climb into the sink.
Then it/he started to berak in the sink. So funny.
Even funnier watching the maid go green cleaning up the mess.

Bad Pussy.

We went to some dinner organized by some society Mummy was part of.
It was held at the lobby of the old train station.
I freaking love that place. So much memories.
The old people were so into performing.
They sang Seroja at the beginning.
And one more time at the end 'atas permintaan ramai'.
Ramai? There were about ten people left at that time.
D whispered to me, ' i hope i never grow old and sing that song three times a day'.
i seriously hope not.
and then Wani saved the day when Mummy threw her on stage to sing a song.
Yay.

Have a fabulous working week ahead. I'm gonna indulge in Season 1/Episode 7 Gossip Girl.

wherever you go...

hi.
it's been surreal days for me since we're together now. a lot has happened between then and now. too many things to consume and barely have the time to breathe.

things are beautiful when every morning i would wake up and see you next to me.
things are good when people around me ask but there are times when things have gone bad and sour.
even worse for me.
just hang on tight we are going for a ride.

for all the times i've made it worse, i'm sorry.
for all the times you lifted me up, i'm grateful.

i just want to love you for the rest of my life and feel bubbly when i lay my eyes on you.

xoxo,
d
