A little update~

Hey ho, just a little picture updates. All were taken with my Nokia E71, so harap maklum dengan kualiti :)

Lihatlah, our kebanggaan of working hard on two weekends! Well, probably 70% Zukry's and 30% Teeny but we didn't even call pemotong rumput tu like usual. The lalang were just too disturbing and sometimes a little scary too :S manalah tau, ada ape hidup in between tu kan... wah! In the effort to clean our backyard, terpaksa bakar the daun2 cause taktau nak buat camne dah. The lalang memang teramatlah panjang~

This was when the movement news were on the air. Who's going where?! and Why?! Too much talking, not much of changes happening - so yeah, i just got to write this down. Somehow, terpanggil utk bergossip too :P

Sampailah waktu berpuasa - alone. Mee Kungfu, bertemankan Oprah while berbuka. Sedap, cepat dan berkhasiat - iyeke?! :) The first week went by quite quickly, and berbuka 5 days alone, and try to cook lavishly on the weekend for dearest husband and me. Lihatlah hasilnya:

Nasi Mandy!!! Tapi takcukup bahanlah. Just the rice and the chicken :)

A little treat while I was on business trip back to KL - Alhamdulillah, i got the chance to go back even though I was put in a difficult position in the meeting itself. Wargkh! Nevermind that, the most important thing is that I get to go back and berbuka di rumah :) The books were randomly chosen. I was in the mood of sewing what with the new sewing machine, Baby is taking up sewing class too... so I just got to grab Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia on Sewing. The other one, Style by Lauren Conrad - this I has been eyeing in MPHOnline but never actually bought :)

A little example on what sewing fever has done to me. A new baju kurung, that's the collar that I'm quite proud of :) The inside seams are everywhere cause I didn't 'jahit tepi' the cloth! InsyaAllah, nak sembat kalo extreme rajin.

Another project that I'm proud of. This is one of the 3 pairs of curtain i sewed for Zukry's home in Labuan :) Yeay!!!

I'm Hot!

I have noticed that the weather nowadays are more likely to give you sunburn if not panting for water. PANAS! Usually, I feel like it's hotter somehow during Ramadhan but this time it started way earlier.

I berpeluh too fast. I feel like having another round of bath just everytime I finished house chores. Like these two weekends, were the weekends we get to spend together at my newly emptied house (Well, rumah tak kosong - lah) which is cool cause I finally get to feel how it is if we were to live together insyaAllah soon...

I shouldn't be complaining with the amount of time Zukry spent in front of the TV, if not for football then it's PS3 playing football - as he hasn't get the chance to do it in Labuan kan. So, dalam pada takbagi can - bagi jugak... So while that is happening I'll be scrubbing off bathroom floors, rearranging furniture, masak, doing the dishes, kerja2 rumahlah... Taktipu! Macam tipu, cause this is rare... but sempena Ramadhan ni, taktipu! :) Our back yard is now clean! No more lalang, hopefully in these few weeks time. Dah tebas, bako and racun! Hehehe... proud! Tapi BRAVO tu Zukry for all his hardwork. I contribute beli cangkul, buat air, provide lighter utk bako lalang kering. Hehe...

Anyway, back to cerita panas tadi. Ha, memang musim berpeluhlah. At these times, i miss my room at home. Ada aircond :) sini, serba sederhana. nak aircond, tapi taknak bayo bill - camne?

So, first day turn out OK. Did all that I plan and want to do. Onto tomorrow, and the rest of Ramadhan ... Toodles

On My Latest Findings

Here they are! I'm wearing both of them today. For Casual Friday, I wore the green blouse and at night, picking Zukry up in the yellow maxi dress. @RM160 for both, fits nicely on me. Seriously. So, if you think you're at around my size (konon, taknak reveal lah kan. takboleh blah!) please do drop by at TRENDYCONFESSIONS :)

Ramadhan Kelima di Miri

Can you believe that? Yes, it will be my fifth Ramadhan in Miri this Monday :) And this year, I'm doing it differently. How different? Waking up alone for Sahur and hopefully, not alone for Iftar. Pathetic, no? I don't know... Yang penting, it's here! :)

Salam Ramadhan, Selamat Berpuasa.

Highlight of July 2011

1. 2 minggu berturut2 dapat balik KL. Beli mesin jahit, host kenduri and birthday party - seronok! :) Jumpa SEMUA ORANG. except for my girlfriends... (yang pd mulanya semangat, tapi masing2 bertanggungjawab atas sesuatu kemudiannya... RAYA NANTI plak!)

2. Accelerated Capability Development (ACD) Assessment - Haruslah study lebih utk close lebihan gap yang masih ada. Sila find time, and make the house extra conducive to study! At the moment, macam dilanda tornado!

3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 2!!! - menanti Zukry yang bakal tiba esok. Lepas tu, boleh ronggeng HP sebelum super serious about studying... (Punyalah last minute punya budak!) Tengoklah how adorable these two are. I first read the book when i was in UTM. Hooked punya pasal, that year i finished all 3 books and wait for book no 4,5,6 and 7... Sponsor lah bagi duit i beli all these books. So make sure, sponsor kasi duit masyuk - senang nak enjoy buku/muzik/mags while studying. ewah... takde kena mengena. jangan tiru aksi ini.

Read. Make it a hobby!

I'm glad that I managed to finish a book last week. It was the Shopaholics series by Sophia Kinsella :) Nothing heavy. I haven't been reading or finish up all the books I started.

I'm now on another chic lit, Girl on The Run. A story about a girl who find running fun with a little motivation from super cute Running Club president. I have this huge hope to start running; hopefully to accompany Zukry during his rounds practicing for Feel Good Run in July and doing it for real - me.

Read the book's review here.

You know, reading these books is a real pleasure. I forgot how I have so much wonderment that I haven't explore since I last complete a whole book. It was more of imagining a place, specifically in these books; England. I don't know every street in London, or any other place in England - Liverpool / Manchester - whatever. Now that I've been to London, I get more ideas on what to wonder.

Like Harry Potter, without the movie; i probably would have imagine Hermione Granger to be super nerd and never like Emma Watson - seriously! Mgkn rambut Hermione will forever be kembang. Huhu...

On to planning our next trip, maybe I should start reading books on places I planned to visit. Tapi, ada ke? Lainlah if the place is New York kan. But nah... not going there yet. Maybe lllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttteeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr in life ;)

So, yeah.

Goodbye, Dearest Housemate...

Hai :)

After about 4 years plus living together with my dearest housemate, Izza... It's time for us to part ways. It's bittersweet when she said she's moving out. It was anticipated, and very selfish of ME actually to let her stay with me all these while especially after I was already married. You know, it feels like a couple breaking up after knowing there's no future. I was sad... The moment she asked when we should tell our landlord, tears were just a moment away to drop. It was me who in consciousness of the whole thing, still was not ready...

I was all over the town to find another house, suitable for only me, near friends; cheap, secured, everything near impossible-lah and I didn't find one. Or rather; I and Zukry decided for me to just stay at the current house alone, while make more effort to clean it up and make me more homely...

OK, this is a little personal after about 2 years of marriage, I decided to have a really good quality Queen Size bed! All these while, I had my super single bed and never really had the idea to change it because of the never-ending "I'll Move Soon" thought was up there in my mind blocking any other Moving-On moves I should have made before. I thought while Izza is exploring Europe, this is the best time to really just tidy up the place!

So, first up, buy me a really nice divan bed with a dreamland mattress, about 1 ft thick (or maybe more, because it's really thick!) - cam hotel! :P I was really proud when I bought this, a huge relieve with a thought of "I should have done this a long time ago".... I sold the old bed.

Soon to be picked up and....

On to the new one, when it first arrive! :) Now it's nicely wrapped...

Off to pick Zukry up! I'll write more soon... I just have so many things to share!

How alone can a person forced to be?

The Royal Wedding

I can't really stop going oooohhh, aaaah, when I went online and googled pictures of the Royal Wedding. I mean, seriously - this is how we should enjoy the long weekend. With a lot of pictures of the most memorable wedding of the decade! :) Prince and Princess, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge...

These are all from Yahoo! I just got to share :)

The second wedding dress. She really is going minimalist on her choice of dresses...

Look at how relaxed they are only one day after the wedding. The future king is already in his Khakis!

Another Good Friday

I never thought I'd be this excited to watch the Royal Wedding on TV. I mean, come to think about it - I was alone, while waiting for the night to come and Zukry to arrive from Labuan... I was watching the whole thing on TLC.

The 'pengantin' was so beautiful together and apart. Isn't Kate lovely? Her takes on the royal wave was perfect. She's glowing, she's just happy :) and Prince William, with his hat on - DREAMMMMMMMMMY! Without, so-so. Which is good, takdelah terasa kehilangan sangat! Haha!

I miss the live second kiss... but has watched it on youtube almost immediately. The first one was an awe moment for me. I was waiting for it anyways... Hihi.

Anyway, the not so great part about today is that Zukry's flight is delayed. The weather has not been that good kot. Hujan tadi, tapi sebelum tu it was really hot. But, what's coming is a long weekend. Monday is a holiday! :) Yeay...

* I wonder how much is the Queen's handbag... i mean the price... It looks so biasa... is it of any label? while we are all into labels, I wonder if she cares... :)
