A lot to do when you're in KL

That's the situation I am in. I feel like it's a waste of time to have my eyes shut (even at night) since the day I reached KL. I can't sleep, if I do; I'll sleep late and wake up really early in the morning worrying that I get too much time sleeping in bed when there are so many things I can do inside / outside my house.

How weird is that? This actually force my body to have more coffee than I usually do. I'm all jumpy and excited. Cannot sit still at home! wargkh, DANGEROUS!

I can't sleep! so...

The first thing i did when i reached home at about 2am just now, was to try out all the London stuffs Mak bought me. Unfortunately, the oxford brown shoe is a size too big, the black Clarks boot fits OK (a little loosey but it's ankle boot so it still holds my feet alright) so I'm definitely digging that one!

I have a long coat as requested. I'll explain the design in a picture soon. It'll surely welcome comments if I were to wear it to SKO office. Mind you, people don't dress up there. Anything weirdo - bersiap sedia to answer. Huhu.

The knitted top, 2 from dorothy perkins. I have the same design in blue and pale pink. Mum bought me in green and black. So two more tops to add in the i-don't-need-to-iron-my-tops, suitable for the not-so-rajin girl like me :) A grey wide neck top with loose sleeve and cuff is really cute on me (my 2ish am eyes judging so terima jelah) :P

I also received a fancy telekung from Jakarta (as requested via SMS) and lastly, a surprise of 4 metre gold lace fabric which is suitable for the most important event of 2009. Thanks Mak, you're really the GREATEST! and for that, pinjamkan lah MJ bag to me while I'm in semenanjung ni ye. Mekaseh... Esok, am going to Istana Budaya to enjoy Mamma Mia! Weeeeehhhhooooo!

I love all the songs and been watching the movie like almost every night! So off i go internet surfing while waiting the Starbucks coffee effect disappear.

a day after tomorrow

Baby - Mak bagitau kamu, atau kamu assume sendiri?
Nadira - Lusa akak balik! :)

Hello all. Whoever you are. I don't think my blog is a hit, but somehow they are people who actually get fascinated wanting to know what I'm doing. Wehehe.. perasan! Anyway, before i get to the subject; just a random opinion about emmm... TWILIGHT Hero and Heroin, Edward and Bella (Pretty name, i like it - Bella :P) Apparently, i haven't really start reading the book (yet!) because I was too greedy. While I was at Kuching airport, i couldn't resist to buy another Sophie Kinsella's book and start reading it while waiting for our flight, still haven't finish reading...

Hmmm, OK! That random thoughts; Robert and Kristen were sort of like playing their real selves in the movie. Robert is Edward in reality and so; Kristen is Bella. They are so cool about this whole madness of Twilight. I saw Kristen was only in a pair of jeans and leather jackets in Letterman show, she's not trying to fit into the whole Hollywood lalalalaland... Pattinson too, what with his messy hair looks like he too tak kesah sangat about the whole fanatic stuffs happening around him... Cool aje which to me is like SUPER COOL. Macam.... "I handsome OK.., you don't have to tell me I handsome, I memang handsome, and I tak kesah sangat pasal tu" Hehehe, pepandai je :)

I'm going back a day after tomorrow. Say what? Weeeehoooo! :) Today at the office, I shed a few tears. I felt stupid for doing so. Why? Just because I feel like I can't win in a tense discussion and ended it with "I don't feel like talking about it anymore"! What happened? Ehhh, malas lah... Whatever it is, I felt like a total loser, how could a fried made you feel so Takberguna? ish,ish,ish - not a friend tu maknanya...

Anyway, I'm going back already and I'm already smiling by 2pm. I sang happily to Izza before we went back. Lagu ape, lagu I seduce my dad to buy me a car. I sang with a water bottle over my mouth, so it's sounded a little weird and to Izza, it's freakishly funny. I like that about her, I can totally be super poyo, funny, just myself around her... Hehehe. Oh, lagu dia..

"Bapakku pulang dari kota, Bapakku belikan kereta, Kereta kancil warna Merah, Bolehku bawak ke sekolah"

This part really cracked us up:
"PON,PON,PON 3x, kereta kancil tu berbunyi, Marilah adik, mari naik... Bolehku bawak jumpa nenek"

Cube nyanyi sampai abis.. Part Pon, pon, pon 3x tu memang abis lawak.. Haha! :) Oklah, sini aje. Bye2.

Christmas Wish List

1. Edward Cullen

:)
Hello all. I'm back in Miri, safely landed yesterday evening. I was hit by this urge to suddenly organize things for my wedding tentatively in June. Well, according to my dad; we have booked the venue for our reception in KL so it's pretty much confirm already! So, with this sudden rush of need to plan; i dropped by at my favorite magazine store, Pasar Malam Miri in Saberkas.

I bought 6 magazines all together at RM16. This includes Wanita edisi khas perkahwinan. I think that is the ONLY magazine that is related to wedding. Hehehe... The others were Nov Vogue (US), Oct Vogue (AUS), Nov Cosmogirl (US), Nov Cosmopolitan (M'sia) and Oct Marie Claire (UK). [Baby, cepatlah jeles. Akak tau kamu jeles. Haha!] The other fashion magazines were supposed to inspire my wedding as well-lah. These types of magazines are mountaining in my room! Kena start buang dah edisi 2006/2007. Buang or recycle, but where to recyle in Miri?

Anyway, today's plan was to hang out with my best neighbour (at home and in the office), KakLaila and her children; Iman and Iqbal. Initially I planned to go out in the morning, go breakfast, play at Kelab Rekreasi Petroleum in Lutong (at swimming pool/playground) but duty calls. I was asked to attend a meeting in the office to update on our current liftings plan. I came back 2 hours ago and the plan defers to after asar at around 4.

I bought gifts for both of them and Along's newborn, Fahry. Wak, if you're reading this; OK as promised Fisher Price toy for your special boy! Not super expensive, but expensive enough lah! Hehehehe... Oh it's not for now; we have to wait until he's 6 months or so; then he could surely enjoy his toy frm Aunty Teeny :) Along, congratulations! I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit...

Oh, on the subject of this entry; I wish to get a new camera actually. We already checked out Sony's at the recet ICT expo in Miri last weekend but I didn't exactly choose one yet. The agreement with Zukry was this to be my birthday present [I'm turning a year older (Past a quarter century already! Takutnya!) in a month time!] but with the wedding coming up and all, not sure if I'll get it. I'm already giving up the idea of holding a designer handbag, so a camera should be a great focus. Plus, hinting dearest Mak (currently in Jakarta), adakah Marc Jacob's bag you bought in London itu for me? My mum won't melt with a wink from me. So no winking mak, just straight up question "Untuk akak ke beg marc jacob itu?" Baby if you know the answer leave it in the comment please! :)

In 6 days, I'll start my year end holiday. Yippee! I planned this year quite well despite my recent move to the new section. I get to go back for our Family Day (where we won't the Sehati Berdansa), merisik (acquire a gold band), mid year holidays during Gawai break (what did i do then eh? hmmm...), Aidilfitri cum engagement(acquire a diamond ring)... so yeah, that's why my carry forward leave is only 1 day!

Next year holiday plan will be different. I know it's gonna be a Good different so i'm still looking for it! In the mean time, let's just enjoy today... Happy weekend everyone. Most of the readers are away in Muar kan?...

Blogging from Kuching

I'm in Kuching right now. I was in a meeting for 2-days here. Right now, I'm waiting for my flight at the airport with a colleague, Qistin. Being here just brought me back to my first time visiting Kuching (first time in Borneo land) last 3 years... I was with KakLong and her boyfriend, Joe.

How we were all counting money to make sure we have enough for our programs, how we enjoyed the beach and swimming pool (to ourselves) at Damai Lagoon Hotel as it was not holiday season; foreignors pun tak ramai... Lawaks ah. Sekarang airport pun dah canggih, jalan2 pun pakai taxi (tak berkira sangat - lagipun company trip kan...)

I have finish reading "Remember Me?" by Sophie Kinsella and couldn't wait to start reading Twilight. Yeap, i watch the movie first then only read the book... As i get to really imagine the characters in the story. I work backwards or is it forward? hehehe... Just like i did the first Harry Potter book lah... :)

I have another week of working days before I leave for KL for 2 weeks holidays. Weehoo!! but there are tonnes to do in the office (as always) The list of things to do for this coming holidays is a long one. I already have some things to do, places to visit, things to buy etc.

Esok dah weekend! Malam ni ada pasar, nak gie beli magazine Kahwin lah. :) bye2.

Twilight

I just cant stop yakking about this movie. I was browsing for footage just to see the beautiful Edward (Handsomenya!) and found a clip they made with "i dare you to move" by Switchfoot. I know what this movie remind me of... It's "A walk to remember". Mandy Moore dying, then that then handsome but bad guy (since Edward is still echoing non-stop in my head) fell in love with her. The guy sacrifice, just like Edward... best!!!

James - the villain in Twilight is that dude from The OC, the boyfriend of Marissa (the last one before she died in Season 3... Also a bad guy in that awesome series. I love that charming-rich-doky guy Seth Cohen.

Well, mari kita continue browsing youtube for more twilight. Toodles.

Counting down to 2009

It's the 343rd day of 2008. Better start thinking of achievements made this year and what to look forward for in 2009.

The how-to's, to do lists, improvements to apply, things that works for the better. Life is not as simple as it used to be. But i'll live thru it all. (InsyaAllah...)

Like M. Nasir berpuisi in Malique's new song "Gagal merancang, merancang Kegagalan" Off to bed now, an early morning calls tomorrow. Good night!

Aidiladha in Miri...

Edited with pictures... :) All in before the working days start tomorrow!

==========

Life’s a blast when you’re enjoying it. So, as of this moment; I’m there... ( I think I am... Or am i talking big, here??? Hmmm....) Before that, Salam Aidiladha. Hope your hari raya is a cheerful one. Mine, I kept on thinking that tomorrow is a working day and Zukry is going back, life’s to be at the same routine it was... Sigh~~~

Well, moving on. I’m writing after a tiring weekend.

DAY 1 – Niah Cave
What do you do before you leave for Gua Niah? A VISIT TO THE DENTIST! Hahaha! That was what we did. We went to our first dental treatment in 2009. My last one was in last December at Ampang Putri, this year we went to Dr Peter somewhere in Resident Office area, Miri. Dropped at Plaza Bintang to buy our “Brunch”, Mc’Donalds and off we go.

Oh my god, this body of mine has been longing to be stretched and pushed to its potential – and I get it, alright! We walked thru the whole Gua Niah area. From the start until the Painted Cave and walked back (made a U-turn) A 4-hours, 8km walked up and down a gazillion hundreds of stairs!!! My legs were shaking the way back, but surprisingly I made it. Hehehe... Zukry was all “I love adventurous stuffs” when I was all, Where is the city I want to be in?! :)


Boy scout tunjuk terer. Padahal ikut aweks2 kat depan tu je!


Dah 3 kali sampai gua Niah!!! All uses different routes, taking up different experiences. Boleh register jadi Cave Ranger!

The whole journey to-fro was filled with Zukry’s office gossips/politics/etc. Mamat ni banyak pulak cerita dia, masa tepon taknak cerita pun. A few dah basi sangat, but since I’ve never heard the stories, kita layan jelah... :P I listen tau, bukan hear aje. Banyak different tu!

DAY 2 – Movies marathon
Anyone who hasn’t watch “TWILIGHT”, please3x go and watch! Edward Cullen is my new definition of a GORGEOUS MAN! He is just way too beautiful not to look at... vampire love story which will leave you sending messages to everyone to actually watch it. Ika, go and watch it. Cepat sket baca buku tu!

Next was Antoo Fighter. I don’t know what we were thinking but yeah, that was the choice made yesterday... Makteh, akak terbaca you actually watch it; tapi aduhai – I can’t remember why we chose to watch it! Hihihi, I felt like we should watch Twilight again! But dah takde mood lama sangat dalam cinema yang pathetic tu...
Malam sibuk mencari tempe utk Lontong, tapi takjumpe. Dah malam, mane nak ada! Hihi.




The chemistry between the actors were amazing. Tengoklah betapa hensemnya hero itu. I googled for those 2 pics. Thanks to all who have made the search easier

DAY 3 – Salam Aidiladha
I made sambal sotong which tasted better that the pilot version last 2 weeks. Yay! KakAda cooked the lontong so i don’t bother to cook another version. Kang terbanyak pulak!. I think with that sambal, Mr. FiancĂ© was convinced that we won’t be relying on restaurants nor kebulur his whole life with me nanti. Haha!

Us berhari raya in Miri :)

KakLaila came over with Iman (with a rather weird haircut but still uber cute especially when she started to ask “ape tu?” at all kind of stuffs!) and the thumb-sucker, Iqbal.


Iman with her weirdly cute hair-do!

I need to rest. The Niah effect is still there... but it’s all worth it... And note to who has yet to watch TWILIGHT “Tolonglah pergi tengok and tell me, Edward Cullen is just damn gorgeous!”

Today is Friday the 5th!

And that means Zukry is arriving tonight at 7.50pm and my third visit to Niah Cave (mungkin ESOK)!!! Oh my God, I have to get ready. Finally somebody i really know to hang out with... Hehehehe...

I would most probably cook this AidilAdha. despite my really teruk skill in the kitchen :P Must show to Zukry that we won't be relying to restaurants all our life. Hehehe... MakTam, i already tried the recipe and a friend of mine said "it's good" - That's you Sree. But he tasted a better Lontong though... Duh! Takkan lah terus hebat giler pun kan???

Anyway, lunch time almost over. Got to go back to the office. Taksabar! I mean to go see Zukry, not go back to the office. Hihihi... :)
