Held a makan session for my colleagues and my dearest 2 crazy pals....oklah...not many ppl turned up - as expected - but it was "cosy" nonetheless....was soooo glad they enjoyed the food that my aunt cooked *phew!*...but my mom's satay and dad's ketupat was suuuupeeeerb too!!!..........will HAVE to learn the trade secret to making the ketupat!!..........hehehehehe.......


Me and Aduka took our first couple pic for Hari Raya and it turned out beauuuutifuuuull!!!!....thanks to Frankie (pix below) and Xinyi (pix at the albums on ur right).....lurrrrveee these pictures!...have uploaded the pictures to the album......one of my regrets was not taking pictures with James' kids!!...they're sooooo cuteee and adorable!!!......Jordan was soooooooo chubby and "tembam" - made me want to pinch and bite him sooooo badly!!!...hahahahah......if my kids turned out that way...............me dunno manz!!!......

Juz got back from jalan raya with my two secondary school friends - Sarina & Lin. This outing was pretty last minutelah....no plans!!.....Sarina called me to tell me that she's coming over to my place with Lin. So I thought that since I have the car, I'd go over to Sarina's place first to pick them up and then, go over my house. In the end, we ended up going to each other's place and our favourite teacher's place - Mdm Jamilah!!.........

As usual, along the way, we gossip and do some catch up...Our dear Mdm Jamilah is still the same as ever!!....hahahhaha....still the cheerful, motherly self!!........would always try to go her house every year.....normally, we'd go when she does open house for her students...but this year, looking at our busy schedule :( we thought we'd better go to her house todaylah.....i think...if someone gets to know abt this, she's going to get pretty angry.......................

NO MOOD to do any work today!!....No kaki to chit chat, go lunch.....AIYOH!!......all my kaki took leave today - to go jln raya i think.....even that kuniang friend of mine in the office *i think u know who u r..hehehhehe* took leave!!!...For wateva reasons!!......he celebrating also lah i think...hahahha.......alamak!!...really no mood manz!!.....my whole family went out jalan2 today!!.....my fault also lah..i want to save my leave!!!.......boo-hoo-hoo!!!......

But well, on hindsight, get to use the car and have lunch with my dearie (which it has been a lonnnngg, looongg time since we do that!!).....get to "celebrate" our monthly belated anniversary!!.....

Yesterday, my family broke record of going visiting to 4 houses in one day!!!....that's a record considering that we normally only go to 2 houses every year - my grandparents house!!.....hahahahha.....



So for me, also a record breaker coz I went to 8 houses!!....finished the jalan2 at midnite!!....GOSH!!.....after going to dearie's house after maghrib, we went to a few "key" players of his family.....so as u can imagine yesterday was a very, very "filling" day for me and my stomach!!!.....FOOD!! FOOD!!at almost every house we went to!!!........how can i NOT gain weight on the first day of puasa after "shedding off" some weight during the fasting month!!.....Anyways, will load all my Hari Raya pictures to the album once I've got it loaded to the computer - hopefully by end of this week!!....

YEAY!!!...juz a day away to Hari Raya!!.....today, the everyone's job will be to clean the whole house!!.........after a hard day yesterday- menganyam ketupat and then baking another 3 rounds of cookies and sleeping at 2+++am......feel soooo lazy to do any house-keeping!!.....BUT besok hari raya!!! - so, semangat mesti mau ada!!......

So to all my Muslim friends and all who's celebrating this Eid Mubarak - Have a blessed and happy Eid Mubarak!!!......Hope that you'll enjoy this Syawal with your family, friends and your loved ones....Ameeen.......

It's Sunday today and after 6.53pm later in the evening, we're only a day away to Eid Mubarak!!........WOW!!....this year's puasa went real fast!!......I had wanted to send out greeting cards to a few friends but as usual, me and sending out letters by post - i didn't get round doing it!!....alamak!!.....so before i knew it, hari raya is only a day away!!.....looks like I have to send an e-greeting instead!!.....

As i was saying on Friday evening abt Aduka wanting to bring me somewhere, we went out to break fast together yesterday.....his surprise was to bring me to Han River...we had our fill!!...alamak!!.....soooo much food to eat!!....felt soooo guilty devouring the food......but at the same time, felt like such a waste coz i couldn't put in as much food in as i used to!.....haiz.....the food's good!!....quite a selection i must say!........and a very good treat for me after a hard day in the kitchen!!.......i baked 3 rounds of cookies to give away to my relatives!!.....first time!!......today, I've to bake another 3 rounds!!!.....waiting for my dad to come back with the eggs!!.....


Rizan in the kitchen with my cookies...juz to "kacau"!...*Pardon the messy kitchen!*

Niways, Rizan had brought back his motorbike...got to see it for the first time yesterday....i liked it sooooo much!!.....it's a vespa...it's soooo cool!!...and the colour is like metallic vanilla....very nice and chic!.......told Aduka that he should've bought a vespa instead of his phantom!......but then again, a vespa don't fit him at all!..... :)


Rizan on his Vespa

Me, Wati and Naz took leave today to do some adventuring!...For the first time, without Aduka, I managed to drive into Johor alone!!......We went to Komtar to collect Wati's wedding invitation cards but to her horror, the shop wasn't open!!.....They told her that it'd be ready by Tuesday....so she thought that she can collect them anytime after that...the shop put up a sign stating that it opens everyday, from 10am - 6pm and except Wed!....and that was already 10.30am!!.....we hanged around...called the owner up but he switched off the phone!!.......it's soooo irresponsible of the workers/owner of that shop!!....if they had wanted to close the shop early for Hari Raya, they should convey that to their customers wat!!.....so niways, Wati asked the next door shop abt them and was told that a lot of ppl have been looking for them too...one girl cried yest bcoz it was closed!!....and her wedding is in another 2-3 wks time!!.....it think it's outrageous!!!.....

So wat to do??....it was a wasted trip for us coz the initial intention was to take the wedding cards for her....haiz..........kesian wati.....luckily for her, she at least get to collect some of her wedding favors. AND her wedding favors are nice!!......very sweet and pretty though i must say, she should have put in pot pourri!!...(wati u reading??...hehehhehe)....we bought some stuff after that.....Naz was sooooo excited to get her collection of comic books!!....she got hold of 7 of them altogether!!!......

Later, back in Singapore, we went for our pedicure at a particular hotel....we were pretty disappointed with what was in the "package"....we'd expected that it'd be something like another shop which we went previously but here, they only did our nails!!!.....in the other shop, they went to the extent of scrubing our feet to clean the dead skin and corn, etc.....haiz...kena cheated siah!!........but i lurrrrveee the colour of the nail polish!!....very pinky!!...hehehhehe........



So that was the day.......very sad though that me and Aduka will not be meeting today!!....he wanted to treat me to dinner but i thought better not today since i wasn't in the whole day - mum's surely gonna nag...and nag......so most likely it'll be tomorrow...i can't wait!!....coz he said, it'll be something that i'm always looking forward to ......hmmmm....wondered wat that is??!!

I'm BACK from an outing with my 2 crazy pals - Peipei and Dr Yap, and Aduka!!!....they're really this crazy and zanny "bitches"....who's such a blast to be with!!!........we did take pictures - mind u!!...hahahha...

we went to geylang the bazaar.....had to treat them to some deng-deng to keep their mouth shut abt us being late!!.........but anyways, even if i don't buy that for them, they juz HAVE to buy it coz they juz have a kick everytime they hear the guy goes deng.........deng............hahhahaha.......they're like such big eaters.....they ate the deng deng on the spot...then, they went scouting for burger ramli......and they ate that on the spot too.....then, they went looking for apam balik....(this pancake-like thingie with sugar and peanut in them)......AND yes, u may have guessed it - they ate that on the spot too!!!....hahahha......still not satisfied - we bought otak2!!........but THAT, we went to sembawang, Peipei's void deck to eat coz we dunno where to go...haiz.....took zanny pic at the playground and talk cock for awhile and went back.....



oklah...overall, today has been a good day.....very fun.......they were talking abt how they miss melbourne life and we juz had to make this come true!!!............so let's pray and hope that we'll get to go there in 2 yrs time!!!.....haahhahahahha......nitey nite everyone......

EEEEEEEERRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................i'm soooooo freaking mad today!!......soooooo freaking PIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!.........uuurgh!!.....how would you feel if someone discriminates your degree juz becoz it's a PART-TIME degree??......hey!!.....a part-time degree is worth MORE coz it shows that we are able to juggle our full-time work as well as our studies!!....i worked damn hard for that degree and you're telling me that it's not "worth" in your freaking company??!!!.........it's sooooo bloody irritating how one's minds works!!!......they give all sorts of "crappy" reasons why they don't wish to see you being promoted!!!!!......

After working in this company for 2.5yrs...i've had ENUFF!!!!...................soooooo freaking demoralised!!...........nooo motivation at all!!!......been slogging away, doing things outside my jobscope and it's still NOT being recognised!!!..........wat the hell!!!......

Aduka has got a bad day at work as well......his colleague seemed to piss him off!!......that guy can't even do a proper job in handling some of the things and he took double the time that one does in doing that work!!..itupun, not finished!!!.....merepek rite??!!.......at last he's being dragged into going onsite with this guy to finish the uncompleted work!!!.......

The ONLY one happy thought of the day is i got my kasut raya at last!!!.....hahhahaa.....costs me $32.40 but it's soooo sweet and girly and like Naz always say - "romantic"!!......hahahahahhaa......never imagined i'd bought that shoes!!.....i've seen it a few times but have never really considered buying it!!....now that I have, i love it!!.....Yani got herself a pair of shoes too!!....the shoes sooo her!!........and it was such a steal - $15!!!........so now both of us got a new favourite shoe shop - VNC!!.....i supposed u guys must be wondering y I always seemed happy everytime i buy new shoes - it's because it's freaking difficult to get my shoe size!!.....i'm a size 43 (equiv to size 9/10) and so far, there's only 3 places that has big shoe sizes and nice designs in their store - Charles & Keith (even then, they only have one pair of size 9 in their stock per model), VNC and Pedal Work....so if anyone out there who knows where ppl like me can get our shoes, pls feel free to leave your comments in my comments box!!......thanks!!!

YEAY!YEAY!YEAY!!!....CLAY got an award in this year's American Music Award!!!....i'm soooooo happy for him!!!............his award was the Fan's Choice Award....i think he's pretty stunned that he got it...he even said "he's not used to this position...he's always second".......or something like that...hehhehehee


Clay's article on Straits Times, Life! on Saturday, 15 Nov - Feats of Clay. Kimberly was at the AMA 2003 yesterday and she's soooo pretty!!......she's lost quite a bit of weight too!

Anyways, he sings his song - Invisible (sounds sooo much better than he's CD!)...and then, he sang a duet with Ruben....couldn't catch the title but it's something abt jesus (DUH!)....should have sang a different song...but as always, his performance is outstanding!!.......he's sooooo cute!!!.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....when's he coming to Singapore??!!!.................................

how time flies eh??.....now is the 18th day of Ramadan, i think.....in approximately 9 days more -Eid Mubarak!!....YEAY!!.....

Today, Aduka decides to eat with my family....mum didn't know wat to cook, so she said, we'll go out to eat lah...managed to coax him to follow us.....(of course with a bit of white lies!!)...hehehehe......

niways, break fast was kind of nice...we went to Holiday Park Inn Hotel - Window at the Park if not wrong...it was buffet and it was quite cheap for hotel standards - $29+++per pax...But of course, once u paid that little, can't expect much rite??...Some of the food were definitely wonderful!!....very nice and tasty...but personally, their service is NOT up to a hotel's standards...they didn't top up their food as often as i feel they should...they didn't top up our drinks and clear our table fast enuff..hmmmm......am I being petty??...haiz...haiz......i dunno lah....but that's wat i feel...but in any case, if i feel like going somewhere nice, i might consider coming again coz it's $20.50+++ on weekdays!!.....

oh!!....CLAY's featured on ST Life!!...have yet to scan his pix on today's paper!!.....aaaaah.....lurrrveeee seeing his face!!.....he said he'd like to visit Singapore...i hope he does...i wanna see him perform again!!!!

me now trying to find a free homepage for myself....can't seem to find a reasonably good one!!!.....hmph!

went shopping juz now with my 2 galfrenz - RosmAman and Nasty Naz at This Fashion and Geylang....

Initial plan was to go Swensens...haiz....kempunan...we didn't go but good also lah...save $$!...we went to This Fashion at Paya Lebar..window shopped for abt an hr or so...me and wati both bought a bag each!!....quite a steal..not only does it look chic, it's CHEAP!!...i wanted to buy a skirt but seems like i have to trim myself down first... :( We only left the place abt a min to buka puasa...went to McD...it was soooo crowded!!.....juz bought a drink to break my fast and head down to Blossoms...luckily they have my favourite custard horn...ate that along the way to Geylang....

Went to Yokoso (TKC) and bought our coloured contact lenses...another steal!! - Buy 3 for $70 and get a bag and a solution free!....tried out the lenses...quite disappointed that i couldn't use the turqoise colour..bought blue and honey..RosmAmaN stuck to her brown lenses...when we saw the bag, i asked for 2...the shop owner agreed to give us one each...and then, we immed asked for the solution....hahhaa....gave him a hard time thinking abt it!!...ehehhe...but we got a small one....

I'm soooo jealous of RosmAmaN's ability to negotiate!!....hahahhaa......should learn from her man!!....i can't make myself to negotiatelah....dunno y!!....even if i negotiate, can lah..but not like till sooo low....UNLESS i seriously feel that the price is too high.....she got her baju kurung..i DON'T!!....boo-hoo-hoo!!......very sad :( The one that i liked (very much!!) don't have my size...that's like soooooo nice!!...can't shake my head off that dress!!...it's VERY nice....must really shake off these excess lah!!.......haiz....

Niways, ended the day by going round the whole of Geylang....and sitting down at the Paya Lebar Post Office with Aduka, eating our burger Ramli (yum!yum!)...happy get to eat it at last!!....
