Seasons are changing..

Whoa.. finally, a time to blog.

Work has been madness these few days. Spent Monday to Wednesday packing some stuffs for the IMF thingy. Been OTing for the first two days of the week (including a short breather to Far East for a 30 minute shoe hunt with my colleagues after work).

Yesterday and today, was for catching up with my daily work. Nothing interesting there. It has also been raining very heavily these days. Somehow or other, instead of feeling down, it gives me this sense of calmness. Definitely just what I needed.

This weekend, grandma's having a kenduri at her house. And next weekend, another kenduri at my aunt's. The norm is for all my other aunties to bring a dish (some sort of pot luck) to contribute. I wonder if I'm expected to bring something, well since I'm married and everything.. but what should I bring. Buat malu jer if I bring something that is nt pleasant to the palate. I think, I have an idea. But let me dwell on it first. I'll let u guys know when the time comes okie??!!

Hokay.. by now, u should be able to see that what I write today are all useless chatter. Its just that I miss blogging but I dunno - my mind is just blank at the moment. So I shall stop now and continue another day. Have an early night everyone. Thank God its Friday tomorrow!!

Oh ya.. hi Ayu!! Dah nak beranak kau ni eh! I'm counting down with u! Lemme noe when it happens. Best lah!! Heehee....!!

New Skin!

A new skin! Yeah!! I'm so happy man!

I've tried countless of times, but this is my first time suceeding! Ha! How pathetic am I.. .!

But they say, u'll never suceed if you don't kep trying!

Well, this isn't perfect, but at least its a change. And I like!! Thanks to Trina for her help.

I miss you

To you,

We used to be very close. Practically every weekends were spent together. Living apart does not mean being apart. You were always in my heart.

But you have changed. And with this, you no longer value our relationship although you desperately claim otherwise. You no longer cared as you use to, and you think money will make up for everything. For the hurt, for lost time, for all the days I worried about you.

All those time u said you care, were those just lies? All the time we spent together, is it meant to be just history? Have you lost your way? Have you lost sight of home? Come back to what you once were. I miss you....

A quickie post

Me going to CK Tang for their private sale today. Hurray!! No lah.. not as if I'm going to shop till I drop. I just gotta get my MAC blusher. I'm in dire need of a replacement since the current one is very quickly depleting.

Other than that, I'm going to 'look' at shoes. I desperately want one, but I am gonna be considerate and maybe keep it for next time. Maybe. Heehee..!!

Hubby's starting on his new part time job today. Nope. It is not easy having your own home at all. The household bills just about kill us. (Not to mention the many many other things that come your way.. blender rosak lah, shampoo habis lah, and wat about the grocery??!!) The pressure we feel each month, its like having to squeeze every last bit of the juice from the fruit. It's been a while since hubby held on to two jobs. But he's decided to go for it while he is still young. Furthermore, he has yet to settle his 'continuing education" thingy. So might as well use the time to earn more money. I shall try to become a better wife by being extra sensitive to his needs from hence on. God knows how many this off days he'll get in a month for him to rest.

Looks like I am about to become a single wife. Not that I am complaining lah.. I understand the need. And I understand that he is doing this for us. Who'd have thought that it takes our marriage to bring about this maturity in us. I'm proud of you darl! And Me..!!

But its not like I'm squandering all our money away hokay! I really need the blusher for work and working shoes really is about to give way. So there! Although I admit, its really guilt that is making me so defensive. Hee hee! Ok ciao!!

Of Durians and Cupcakes

Last Friday, Jillian and I (together with our husbands of course) met up for an impromptu durian session. We met at Geylang Lor 13, sat at our favourite stall while the men went to pick durians. I'm not really crazy about durians. So I stopped after 3 pieces. Lester was also quite full after a buffet dinner with his ex-colleagues earlier. However, between the four of us, we managed to finish up 8 durians! Click HERE for pics.

If u noticed, we found quite a few 'strange' things. Like the seed shaped like a heart, and another seed which was split into two (i assure u that the seed was not split into 2 by any of us, it was like that when we opened the durian).

Saturday was a day for lazing around. Other than going to the library to collect my book, all I did was laze around. Nothing much there..

Sunday was an eventful day. First thing in the morning, we got up and visited Dad's grave with Mom and Mamat. Followed by lunch at Jurong Point. Had to rush home after that as dearie had to work at 3pm. Had this sudden urge to cook up a storm, so I left together with hubby to go to Vista Point to get the ingredients I needed. Quickly walked back home as I was very anxious to start.

Two hours later, I got my mutton soup, as well as my cupcakes ready. :)










I'm so proud of myself! After my cooking was done, I continued with my routine weekend housework plus laundry and ironing. All this work left me with a terrible backache which I'm still suffering from at this moment. But I'm still very happy with what I have accomplished over the weekend.

Oh yes.. I changed my tagboard to a new one. I think this looks better doesn't it?

So kind of my sis-in-law to offer me help with my layout. Maybe when we both have time, I will take her up on her offer. Heehee!! :)

My Tagboard is up!!

Finally! I got my tagboard!

I've been wanting a tag board for the longest time. I just think its more friendly that way as friends can leave me a note instead of having to leave me a comment. It's not perfect I know. But I'm just happy I got it up and running.

I've been trying to change my layout as well. But its so damn complicated! Aargh!!! I know you can get those free ones on blogskin lah, but I always have problems putting back everything I want. I will normally start enthusiastically but will end up getting more and more confused before finally giving up altogether. What a failure I am... haiyz! I know :(

I also managed to slot in my links and even changed photo for a good measure. Ha ha.. now I'm one happy gal. See how little it takes to make me happy? Friends always say that I get excited really easy although at times, I do choose to show this side of me to only a few priviledge ones. Some people who do not know me assume that I am stuck up, but really, I am just really shy. It takes me a while before I can warm up enough to someone. Just ask any of my frens. Or better still, ask my hubby dearest ;p!

Life has been prety mundane lately. I've been going home straight after work. Anyway, its not as though I have been going places lah.. except when hubby dearest or any one of my frens decide to date me. Furthermore, the 'moon' has been rather dark these days (*wink* fifi, only u know what this means!) Haha!!

Dunno what prompted this mid-day entry. Go got to go now! Till later!

National Day

Erm.. this is a little bit belated, but nevertheless, Happy National Day! Seeing how Singapore has developed over the years and the pride on the men's faces while they marched to the centre of the stadium. Watching the parade on tv yesterday, it almost moved me to tears.

The night before that, we also joined Idris and Aidah for their solemnization at a mosque in Bukit Panjang. So happy for them!


On another note, this weekend gathering has been cancelled. There goes my surprise for them. Looks like I really gotta surprise them at their workplace one of these days.

Coming Saturday however, I have a few things to do. My cousin has planned a cukur rambut for her baby and at the same time, we have also promised to attend Idirs and Aidah wedding at the Malay Village. Looks like it it will be a promising weekend after all!

For now however, we still have to slog at work for today and tomorrow. I'm counting down the hours!!

This weekend

I have a plan.

This weekend.

It involves cooking.

It also involves a surprise.

My best friends are coming over for a day of fun and laughter on Sunday.

And they are not aware of the surprise.

(of course they not aware lah, otherwise it won't be a surprise right... duh??!!) *shakes her head*

Weddings = Tears?

Sometime last year, one of my hubby's secondary school mate got married. She was a close friends of his and we've been out together a couple of times. We were really happy for her when we received the invitation for her wedding.

Everything went as planned. The day arrived and the wedding went on without a hitch. The couple looked great together. It brought me memories of my own wedding.

I remember we had just bought a camera sometime before. So dear hubby was busy snapping away. The parents were then invited on stage for a family photo. They all looked so sweet togehter. It was touching moment when the bride kissed her parents, and we can see the mother tearing. It moved us all. Everyone burst into a clap and was cheering away.

But lo and behold... what is this? I found one drop of tear on my cheeks. And another. And many many others... What's happening to me? I never cry at weddings... except for mine lah which is fully understood. But at another's? Not even my sister's did I cry. And it got worst, making my eyes all red and my nose all wet. I could see hubby sneaking glances at me while he was busy snapping.

Immediately I went to a corner to wipe my tears away.

And now, another friend of his is getting married. Again, the image of the solemnization ceremony is making me teary eyed. I haven't even been to the actual thing! For goodness sake! This is getting way out of hand. Am I gonna cry at every wedding I go to?

So what happened? Is it the memories of hugging arwah dad for the last time during my wedding? Or is it just the memories of my own wedding? Whatever it is, I must try to put this to a stop.

So lovely. This blessed union of souls. The lovely ties of matrimony. Wonderful aint it?

Well, Idris and Aidah - Selamat Pengantin Baru! Semoga berkekalan hingga ke anak cucu!!

Kulai with the guys

We went riding with the team to Kulai last night.

Which includes great company and lots of laughter. We had fun. Hee!

Another Bad Day

Its another of those days.

Days that seemed to stretch endelessly in front of you.

Days whereby every part of your body aches, pleading for a good massage.

Days that makes you feel like doing nothing but laze around.

But horrors! You're in the office and its not even lunch time!!

God, please help me get through my day...
