cinta dan airmata

Saturday.

D&S took mummy, MIL and both my sisters to see Natrah. Didn't expect to get front seats. Wonderful view of Maya Karin 30 going on 13. the set was great as usual. it wasn't that fantastic as the reviews promised that they would be, even dragging at some parts. but i did enjoy it overall and so did everyone else. mummy, MIL and both my sisters were so excited about meeting that Nur Kasih guy. Am i the only one who hasn't seen the series? would love to after all the hype, but just can't seem to find the time.

Me and D had to wait quite a while for the snaking queue for the girls to peek at Remy Whatzisname.

I'd love to talk more about the show but i'm just too tired and too sleepy to function right now.

Sunday.

We spent the warm day indoors and went to MV later in the evening. I was so excited about the C&K sale but D raised an eyebrow at me knowing I had like, RM0 in my wallet. LOL.

He told me i could pick a handbag and a pair of shoes. Yay! The handbags were definitely gorgeous and so were the shoes but none left for my petite little feet. If you are a size 38-41, there's plenty more for you. After the 6th pair i picked and still no size, we left with just an over-sized worn leather looking brown handbag. happy :)

Didn't buy anything much apart from the necessary. He got for himself 5 work shirts and cuff-links from G2000, some stuff from xixili for me. had a simple dinner then went home.

There's a cat that i miss right now. His name is speedy and i found him near my house and gave him to my parents. he's well-taken care off and is so fluffy and playful now. but he can't seem to kick that kampung habit of digging through the thrash can. Once kampung always kampung no matter how pretty you are i guess. In this case a stray cat.

Everytime i go over, i'll always gomol and squeeze and tickle and toss the poor. i kinda think he doesn't like me that much.

yay for a holiday

D took me and sister02 for fatty crabs last nite. at 11pm no less. i was thinking that no way any crabby place would wanna cook some crabs for us so late in the night but hey, this is kl. anything goes.

went home and slept. i'm bad that way. if i wanna sleep, guests or no guests, i'll fall right asleep. kesian my sister02 and my brother03 who came much later. earlier this morning, endang the maid called few times. she was at my mom's and ready to come over for the weekly cleaning and ironing. i just couldn't drag my ass outta bed. finally at 9ish, i got up and went over to mom's. then i realized that i haven't done my laundry and if she came there wouldn't be any ironing for her to do. crucial, ironing. can't do myself. i always fry something.

traded with my mom, so I'll be using her services for Sunday instead. hung out for a bit at my mom's and she requested that i make the Vietnamese beef noodles with the leftover daging korban. she said 'haritu punye sedap'. i didn't think they were sedap and more likely that she wanted me to make lunch as she was getting ready to go out with sister02 and there was no lunch at home. Vietnamese, I'm not so sure but they were beef noodles-la.

came home, D wanted to make some repairs to his car. the potong rumput people got a stone in his window and smashed it so he went to fix it. called me 30 mins later and i picked him up from kedai basikal and we went for our monthly grocery shopping. honestly, i think prices of stuff has gone up. our trolley wasn't even full and he paid RM300+. it's not like we were buying anything other than the usual milk, juices, vegetables, chicken, baked beans, fish (bukan salmon pun), soya milk, cheeses and toiletries. and it's only like, for the two of us.

did i mentioned we did all this without showering? it's normal for me, but i think D has really picked up the habit of malas mandi from me. he already is showering only once a day and now on weekends, we do everything and at the end of all our errands, then we take our shower. nothing new for me. i come from a tribe yang malas mandi. haha.

we came home and made dinner. i made chicken and prawns and D made the vegetables.

his friends came over just now. one guy and one girl. i couldn't believe it when he asked them dengan penuh semangat and wide eyes,

korang nak makan tak? kitorang ada buat butter prawns, ayam sambal. cencaluk pun ade. sedap tau!

he is so confident about the dishes we cook. i wanted to crawl under the table. i don't think that i cook well enough to entertain guests yet. just barely edible for the both of us, and D isn't much of a fussy eater. make me shy only. lucky for me his friends were like malu-malu kucing and i wasn't about to push them to eat my lunch leftovers. :P

it's 12 midnight. where did my day go?

after lunch after math

i just came back from lunch. never stuck to the strict 1 hour lunch break. out at 12.15, back at 2.20. do the math. a colleague wanted to buy me lunch, so i had the choice of picking the place. afternoons are always super warm, so i chose somewhere cooling, easy to park and good choices. ended up at the place where D and I had our reception.

i had a bowl of tom-yum kueytiaw, the other girls had chicken chop and fish and chips. she insisted we had dessert so two of us shared a banana fritters ala mode and another two shared the banana split. now i'm slowly falling asleep at my desk. my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier as i type this down...slowly but surely.

had a very late night sleep yesterday. was up playing diner dash and watching back episodes of survivor:china. i've seen all episodes of survivor ever aired (US version) and I'm really running out of things to follow. facebook is officially yawns-ville and the idea of knowing what people do every second via twitter is just plain depressing. i mean, honestly do you really want to know what all 200 of your friends are doing every second, what they think of the nasi goreng, what they think about the streets, the traffic, the weather, their financial status. you really have the luxury of time?

here's how i spend my time: survivor repeats, dash games, archie comics, food blog, literati, arranging and rearranging my shoes. not so great but it's all about me, me, me.

here's what i'm gonna do when i get home tonite. change the sheets. into clean white sheets. i feel like clean white sheets today. cool clean white sheets.

oh shit, i forgot to go to the dry-cleaners again. sigh.

christmas wish list

i want new shoes. one would make me half happy, two pairs would put a smile on my face but three would give me the ultimate satisfaction. i want three pairs of shoes. i saw a pair of anne kliens animal print flat which i clutched so hard til i realized i had merely enough for lunch. those shoes cost RM539. i've never paid that much for a pair of shoe. i don't think now would be a good time.

i also want some platforms and flats from the C&K sale. C&K so far has done me justice in terms of comfort and durability. guess? shoes just murders my feet but are oh-so-sexy that i wear them anyways. aldo's sky high heels take me months to break into them but i end up wearing them to death.

i also want the pair of clarks exactly like one Cindy has. i'm not a clark-y person. always thought they were a bit auntie-ish but i totally fell in love with the ones she has. pricey also. almost RM400. sigh. but i'm gonna get them anyways. D said okay. :P

i want an over-sized handbag in worn out brown/taupe leather. something i can put on my shoulders. something strong. i wanna put my netbook in the bag. a brown leather wallet with plenty of compartments to go along would be great also.

i need a mascara. Chanel Inimitable is high on my list, failing that Loreal Double Wear has been working wonders too. i vow not to spend a dime on crappy MAC products anymore. they've done nothing so far. the foundation is crappers, pressed powders even crappier and their eyeliner is worse. i need a good mascara. i have very straight sparse eyelashes. but then again what do you expect, i am almost hairless. i'd rather have short, sparse lashes than have hair on my upper lip! scary.

after attack of the break-outs, my sister introduced to a miracle skincare which has magically made my skin clearer and all those nasty spots gone! to flaunt it, i need that new foundation. dermologica. and laura mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer. someone please buy them for me. please?

that's all i need. till the end of 2009. make me happy. please. please.

yesterday i talked to D.

babe nak RM526 boleh ke?
nak buat ape RM526?
nak beli make-up baru
sampai lima ratus lebih ke?
mascara, tinted moisturizer, foundation, facial scrub.
hahaha.

i wish i could spend these last two weeks of Dec shopping and buying stuff to kick start my new year. ain't happening.

if i get those stuff, i will willingly forget all vacation plans for the first half of 2010.

and while your at it santa. another pair of goose feather pillows would be awesome.

the girlie weekend

one of the things that i lurve about being in PR/Corp Communications are the perks that come with the job. free this and that. complimentary this and that. trial this and that. especially when you work for an organization like mine, overseeing and playing boss to a dozen of other moneymaking companies that are so so eager to please us. it sure does have it perks.

last weekend was probably one of my favorites. cyberview resorts and spa - a six star resort invited us over to stay the night as part of their client appreciation thingy. knowing that they are one of the best spas in Malaysia, of course i didn't say no. i took my colleague with me. i knew how much she wanted that spa session.

if you've been to inside their rooms, you will know how impressive it is. being in the center of an MSC city, every room is equipped with a flat screen pc with internet connection. not that i want to be connected to the real world when im hiding out here. flat screen tv, two kings sized beds, sofa, a pantry, balcony equal to the size of the room. i love it love it love it!!!!!

dinner was at the tree haus bar, breakfast was at the verandah restaurant, lunch was at xing zhu for dim sum. totally pampered!

the spa session was so heavenly. we opted for the Balinese massage which usually costs about RM140++ per session. i picked the halia aromatherapy oils to go along with the massage and halia tea before and after the session. we were also served a cold pudding after the massage. after sitting by the pool for a while we headed to the sauna for 15 mins until we were half-baked and dripping sweat then jumped into the jacuzzi and just sat there till we pruned. ha-ha.

left the place with a bagful of goodies and a prize from the Christmas gift exchange session. initially i won a silver and pearl candle-holder which i changed for a pillow. I so badly wanted a goose-feather pillow more than anything else. More than anything else! My sleep is now soooo super bliss. Goose feather pillow rocks.

so that's about the most exciting thing that happened to me last week. other interesting stuff that were free;

1. a complimentary friday lunch plus shoulder massage by shangri-la. took 3 of my gfs with me
2. a complimentary buka puasa by shangri-la. took D with me.
3. TGIF dinner with tonnes of fun by shangri-la. took 2 of my girls with me. won a one-hour spa session and a complimentary stay at the executive suite plus three course dinner during the lucky dip.
4. last time i received 50 tix to watch tun razak. but it was a musical which was a bit boring. i may (if i get tix) go watch natrah this weekend. maybe. got wedding in bentong la. see how.
5. a cocktail party by pullman putrajaya.

and yesterday D bought for me two handbags. i was waiting for him at the ATM when i glanced through a window display of handbags. when he came nearer i stabbed my finger at the window, pointing at a snakeskin bag and said to him,

babe, i nak yang tu?
mane? jom masuk i beli untuk you.
really?
yeah, why not?

when we went in, i requested for both the snakeskin bag and the leopard print bag. trying to decide which one was nicer, i held both up

babe yang mane lagi cantik
hmm.. amik la dua2
really?
amik je. takpe.

and my terrible, terrible migraine went away.
