Casualty

i know the title of the post sounds sooo serious, but that is what it is.

casualty. i am a victim of 'makansampaitaksedardirisangatgemuk' syndrome.

in February last year, i lost 10kg.

this is due to the fact that Bibik went back for a 1month holiday, and we were packing and moving into our new home.

10kilos!

and now, i dont even dare to step on any of those evil contraptions called weighing scales.

for fear of:

1. scale pecah
2. scale pecah due to me being too heavy
3. scale pecah due to it being thrown across the room due to anger
4. scale pecah due to hubby throwing it out the window cos he cant stand my constant wailing due to the increase in weight
   

yes, i am shallow.

i mean, i love how i look. buuuutttt, can my tummy be smaller?

not because i am vain, but because i want to wear my 'old-new' baju that i bought in a 'ohmygodilost10kilosicanwearthisandlookdamnhot' shopping frenzy.

and when i say i want to wear, means i want to wear without my chikus hanging out untuk tontonan umum,tidak sesuai untuk penonton 13 tahun kebawah.

comprende?

and i hate it when my lil-brother pinches and tugs my muffin top. sangat sakit, okay?!

sigh.

and yet, while writing this, here i am, planning to singgah One Utama to get myself my kids a tub of Garrett's popcorn.

sigh.

ya, saya sangat tak sedar diri.

lalalalallalalalalallalalalallala.....

MMXII

its the eve of new year, and i am surrounded by my loved ones at mom's. we had a feast with roasted chicken, mussels, fish curry and the works. perut sudah kenyang, hati sudah senang.

2011 saw alot of things happening in my life, both personally and professionally, and both good and bad. i may have some regrets but that wont change how i will be embracing 2012.

one new thing that i am addicted to in 2011 is online shopping. yes, i have been shopping online before, but this year, it was like the 'online-hantu' got into me and possessed me! hahahhaa. much to the dismay of my finances,definitely.

and the best of the online shopping is the online-COUPONS!!! ohemgee, i am soooo addicted to Groupon, milkadeal, i love discounts and such. and each of my purchases includes spas, manicures and pedicures, food and dining sprees, massages, hair treatments and soooo much more! not to forget my latest craze which is the shooting range! (thanks to my lil-bro who got us the coupons!)

i even got a RM 10 hair cut, wash and blow! mana nak dapat?

another new site is www.everydayonsales.com. they update shopperholics like me with the latest sales, which helps me to manage my shopping trips! go and check it out!

But dont get me wrong, i shop smart. by buying these coupons, i actually save thousands of ringgit! simple calculation: if my usual mani pedi is RM 70-80, i save RM 50 when i purchase the deals online (usually mani pedi costs only RM 30). Best, yes??!

i know im rambling, a bit kekok after not blogging for quite some time. hopefully my writing rhythm will return, and heres to many more posts in this journal of mine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR,SAYANGS!!!

xxox.

3.2

It has been ages! (funnee how i tend to start my posts with phrases like this)

well, anyways, today is a special day as it is my birthdayyyy!!

am a whopping 32 this year, and i would like to thank Allah the Al-Mighty for giving me sooo much in my life(and keep em coming!)

thank you to my beloved hunny bunny whom has been my pillar of strength, my partner in crime, my solid foundation, my best friend and the one who keeps me sane (eventho sometimes i wanna poke you with a plastic fork)

thank you to my beloved babies who reminds me that all the stretch marks, bulging tummy, episiotomy scar, sagging boobs were and still are worth the effort because both of you gimme so much loooove. i will die for the both of you.

thank you to my parents, especially mama (read paragraph above..but my momma didnt have any tummy or stretch marks when she had me!) both who have sacrificed sooo many to make me who i am today. thank you daddy for your love and now that i am older (cough : only age, heart still young) i understand why you were strict with me before. love you both unconditionally.

to my brothers whom i love, even tho some of you also needs to be poked by a plastic fork, i love you all for everything. for my birthday present (read: i want something, yes, mebbe a gold handbag), dont fret too much, as i also take cash. :D

to my family, all of you out there. i love each and every one of you. seriously. eventho some also needs to be on the 'poke with plastic fork' list. i still love you all.

and my friends, who have been with me thru thick and thin. some lost along the way, some re-kindled, some AWOL, i still wanna thank each and everyone of you for loving me.

as for now, i will try to concentrate on work (yeah, am working on my birthday) and i promise i will gorge on cake and ice cream.

and thanking all of you in advance for my birthday present. HAHA.

xxox!

Ramadhan Al Mubarakh

Salam to all, wishing all of you a blessed Ramadhan.

i have missed my VJ sooo much, but everytime i have something to update, it will either be:

• kemalasan
• no time
• no mood
• writers block
• all of the above

and so, whatever that i initially wanted to jot down here got lost among the everyday drama that i call life.

and since we are talking about life, alhamdulillah, life has been great, albeit the occasional hiccups.

Mom and Dad has moved to their new abode, and now, i finally have a kampung to go back to! hahahha, sangat drama, okay, since my new kampung is 20 minutes away! but you see, im so used to having them 5 minutes away, that the moment they moved, i feel as though they are soooo far away, and that i can only see them during the weekends.

in case u are wondering, they moved to Denai Alam.

as for the kids, both are well, syukur. Jasmine is fasting half a day for the past 4 days (the moment she comes back from school, she is ravenous!) and i am proud of lil princess. (if you are shocked and rolling your eyes that my 7 year old is still not fasting, please remind me why i like u in the first place,thankyouverymuch)

rashard can now talk, but with his cute pelat! example would be "owengch" which is orange, "tengch" which is thanks, "pweesh" is please and loads more. the cutest is when he says please while doing the "gong xi gong xi" hand gesture. he can count from 1-20, basically knows his colours (but selalu confuse red and green) and knows his cartoons well. he can recite the alphabet song, but cant identify all of the alphabets yet, except for his O and S.

as for me, i am happily gaining weight. sheesh. zul is happy that i am gaining weight (i believe he has got a hidden agenda) but i am thankful that i am healthy. cuma a bit out of breath, cos i think i dont get enough exercise (i think...hahahha...in denial betui)

as for work, ayoyo. its a handful, and very challenging, which is great cos i dont even have time to get bored (and i do get bored easily). but taking one step at a time, and i thank Allah for my ever supportive rockerboy hubby, as well as my chikus whom is always a phone call or coffee cup away.

i think i need to stop as i still have loads to do. just a quick update on how everything is, and to wish all of you a Ramadhan filled with Barakah.

Selamat Berbuka Puasa!

PizzaMania

i have been eating pizza since last week.

i had cold leftover pizza for breakfast, pizza for dinner and again, pizza for tea.

how did i turn into a pizza-gobbling monster?

it started late last week, where both me and Jasmine were channel surfing (on the RARE occasion that i managed to get the remote, and that the TV was NOT on the cartoon channel), and i decided to watch TLC's Food Paradise or something of that title, where they featured a whole HOUR on a particular food.

and you can guess what was the featured item for that episode.

Pizza.

The best pizzas in the US.

all of us (Baby Kenzo included) was glued to the tv, watching gorgeous pizza pies being baked, eaten, and salivating at the gooey, stringy (and usually tasteless) cheese.

and i even googled on the spot for eateries in Malaysia where we can get the ever-famous-artery-clogging-Chicago's Deep Dish Pizza.

damn, i really want to try that.

unfortunately, the nearest possible outlet is in Dubai.

sigh.

so, guess what the princess wanted for dinner.

yeah.

and hence why i had leftover pizza for breakfast.

and i had it for dinner when i was in KLCC, in Chinoz.

Sedap, but too blardy overpriced, if you ask me.

and yesterday, Jasmine wanted to have pizza, yet again. Baby Kenzo got all excited when we walked to the Domino's outlet opposite our home. (yeah, it's walking distance. if we wait for the delivery, lagi lambat. and kononnya, by walking, i get to burn some fat before i stuff myself with the pizza hahaha)

and along the way, he kept on singing his lagu-ciptaan-sendiri..."pisha...pisha...pisha" due to his pelat-ness.

and i keep on getting frustrated as the pizza doesn't taste gorgeously sedap. dont get me wrong, it is sedap...but nothing special.

and quite costly if i have to buy every other day (or at least until she gets bored)

so, i have decided to try to make my own.

what i am apprehensive about is the dough.

but will still try. mebbe this weekend.

will tell you what happened, once i have.

Whaddapak

i keep on waiting to lose weight with all the stress that i am enduring.

i have noticed small signs of changes on my body, really minute signs, but signs what so ever.

on my tummy, my thighs, and my arms.

not to forget my ermm 'sisters'.

these signs causes me to have high emotions.

am trying to deny it, but last saturday, i just had to get on one of the most hated inventions created by men.

the darn weighing scale.

that is one thing that will NEVER be in my house. in my 23 years of living (stop rolling your eyes), i have NEVER owned one of those ugly contraptions.

and lo and behold, when i got on Mom's, i had a mild cardiac arrest cos.....

i have gained 3 parking kilos!!!

whaddapak!!!!

sigh.

can i sue Baskin Robbins?!

My Latest Love

i have fallen head over heels with Cath Kidston's collection.

i think it is really pretty, eccentric, individualistic, and all in all CUTE!!!!

i bought the purse as pictured above, as well as the toilettries bag, makeup bag and the book bag.

ya, saya sangat tamak haloba.

am really thinking of buying the overnight bag.

as a gift for Jasmine (so the momma can pinjam and use)

you like?! :)
