SAY HI TO OUR NEW BABY!..... ;)

Dad juz decided to buy the new Nissan Latio Sports rite there and then!..... all the talk abt buying an SUV or MPV has gone down the drain.... aiyah!!!........ but then, this Latio is also as nice... small but spacious, comfy, different from our normal saloon car... and at last!... a change of colour!!....... so, i'm thinking, if Dad can maintain it's "look" for the next year, I'd juz use the car for my wedding!!...... kekekekekkeke.......

4 FISH NIBLETS!
After spending hours talking to our (hopefully) wedding planner (coz still in negotiation and seeking quotation mah...), Ani, Zam and the 2 of us went to eat at Al Majlis aka Le Caire Cafe.. ordered the food and Ani tot of sharing a bucket of calamari rings.... but as it turned out, it's out of stock and then, she settled of fish niblets!...... and when it came.....

apparently, they were real niblets!... hehehehhee..... there was only 4 ie one each ke?!...... she got soooooo worked up!..... should have "captured" her look!..... she went "nie aje?... satu each?... lemon dia tak cukup satu!" hahhahahahhaa..... ani... ani!.....

... INSPIRING ...
It was such an experience which I will treasure for life!... if this works out, hah!... my childhood dream is almost coming true!.. hhahahaha.....

Anyways, on the way back from that valuable experience, we took a cab down back to the office!... as the cab driver had to drop us down at 2 stops, one of us directed the driver in Mandarin. and then, this driver suddenly said - "Don't speak to me in Mandarin! ...... I hate the government...." *paused. awkward silence filled the cab for a good 30s!* hahhahaha.... it was such a laff thinking back!.... because that girl could have like said something in English... like sorry, perhaps, or whateva lah! instead of that awkward "oh" and then silence?!... ahhahahaha....

and what's up with that driver?!... soooo garang for wat?!... how we know u dun speak Mandarin, or dun like the govt?.. the girl was juz trying to be nice.... it's like if i get a pakcik driver, i would automatically speak to him in Malay mah!... it's juz nice!..... no need to action I can speak english mah!..... duuuuh!... ahhahahaha......

GREAT NEWS FOR DRIVERS!!
Yippee!!..... the TP are being very generous indeed!..... they're listing all the places where TP will be deployed PLUS they're gonna revise the speed limit of certain places like at the Kaki Bukit Upper Bukit Timah Road..... they did a "research" and caught more than 80% of the road users going over the speed limit. 10% going over 90km/h and 1 motorist (or motorcyclist) going at 141km/h!.... kwang...kwang...kwang..!!....

So, if you guys are driving and need to know where our abg Sam are, go to SPF's website to check out that list!.... so after today, dun go accusing our abg Sam for being sneaky and all when all they've tried to do is help us - NOT to get saman and save our lives!.....

WAT A FRIGHT!
Sooooooo irritating!.... wat's up with that stupid driver in the white, toyota corolla?!!.... it went past us soooo close, i had a such a fright that i actually tried to "elak" the car!...... even dearie was shocked and nearly swerved the bike!.... blardy asshole!!!.... i think, if i had kicked the side of the car with my heels, it would have definitely leave a deep impact but at the same time, both me and dearie will topple over! - that's how close we were!!....

INFORMATION FOR PENGANTIN-TO-BE
Surfed and surfed the net yesterday for firming up our budget and expenses and listed below are useful links to some useful information that i guess, most Malay pengantin-to-be would need:

List of Town Council - for rental of void-deck or open spaces
ROMM - to register your (Muslim) marriage, list of kadi/naib kadi, pre and post-marriage courses, etc
Urusan Pengantin - list of companies with packages ranging from Decor to Andam to Travel to Renovation!
Majalah Perkahwinan - an online magazine with relevant articles pertaining to marriage and/or it's preparation. There's also a forum for you to share your views with the others.

I will update the list if I find any useful sites in my Links page!.... i'm in such a kawen2 mood or rather "mode"!... all i'm thinking abt is going thru the solemnisation with dearie!.... and getting over this stress that I'm feeling over the choices I have to make!!..... urrrrgh!.....

Anyways, the kadi that married my parents is still alive!!... YEAY!!... ;) I hope dearie's family do not have their "own" kadi... coz I definitely want this kadi to marry us off since it has married the whole lot of generation before me!.. hehehehe.... Another good news - mom was juz "pulling my leg" when she said she's not helping me out financially!... DUUUUUH!..... buat aku stress je!... heheheheh..... but alhamdulillah.. the planning and all is going pretty smoothly except for the fact that since i'm spoilt for choice, I can't make up my freakin, fickle, mind abt a lot of other stuff!!!............ *slaps self* ........

DILEMMA!
I'm in a total dilemma now!... juz received a call from Ani abt a "deal" they got us for our decor!... boooo-hooo!!.... went to expo and totally fell in lurve with SJ Decor!.... damn it!... they're sooooo good!.... i wanna cry looking at their dais and decor!.... but at the same time, they're quite ex! but considering the work they put in and the fullness of their decor and all!..... i really loike!!!!.....

dilemma! dilemma!.... did some re-calculations again and damn!.... the expenses soooo high!.... soooo scary!.... if one pengantin spend abt $30K++ (incl of wateva sponsorship they receive from anyone) at least, WOW!.. the industry is making HUGE profits siah!.... i can't decide!... really can't!... hmmmm.... but now, at least, i dun have to worry!!.... my requested make-up artist, has agreed to make-up for me!!.. YEAY!!!..... deliriously happy and relief that she's doing it!!..... waaaah!.. took me a year (first appt, last pameran, this pameran and some good words from a friend who's her friend) to coax her siah!!.... hehehehe...... i hope she dun back out or wateva!!!..... i'd juz DIE!

CONGRATULATIONS PEI!!
something worth celebrating and announcing!.... my long-time dearest friend - the one and only yu yuan mei has gotten herself a real job!... yippee!!..... at last!... she'll have a life!!.... YEAY!!.... can't wait!.... from sleeping beauty to Xena to a polished gem!.... congrats dear!!.....

FAVOURITE PICTURES
Was looking through the numerous pictures dad took while they're at Haj and I juz lurve these pictures!!.....

For a bigger view of these pictures, click here.

Heard more freaky stories and this time, about a certain someone but can't share them due to personal reasons... It's pretty scary - the tot that your bad behaviour or character can really show off there later.... hmmmm.....

HUNGRY
I'm soooo darn hungry now... i can really eat a cow!... damn it!.... and Rosma's taunting me with her chewing of pau!.... hah!... to think that we're supposed to go for our yearly medical screening but totally forgot abt it!.... i shall not imagine if I'm there are at the screening cringing in hunger!... gosh!....

KAIN SHOPPING!
WOW!..... got soooo many kains in one day!... unbelievable!...very happy with the price we got for each kain!.... but pretty unhappy with one of the shops though!... tried to rip us with their unbelievable mark-up!.... luckily that was one of the last shops we went to... so, we or more so, moi (coz the other 2 got kains from there) were not "ripped off" in a sense!.. hehehhehe....

love shopping with the two wifeys!... coz they can bargain - dengan tak tahu malunye!.... hehehehe...... and guess what they had for lunch?? should see how they sedut those siput (escargoes - malay style)... hmmmm...

ANUGERAH PLANET MUSIC 2005
A pretty disappointing event... Anuar Zain couldn't make it to thank his fans for voting him for Most Popular Male Artist!.... *booo-hooo!*... SO7 wasn't there too.... only 2 of their band members were there and they can't give a "speech" for nuts!.. and to think that I have to sit thru' their non-existent speeches at least twice!....

nonetheless!... kudos to the 3 divas' performance!.... powerful!!.... fuuuuuyoooh!.... all hair standing hearing Melly, Kris and CT sing together. Taufik's performance was superb. as usual. ;) sang "Bukan Kerna Nama" from Ramli Sarip - power brudder! gua takleh angkat!!.....

and the 4 Incredibles - Sarah, Shanti, Aznil and Adi was really incredible in their own quirky sense!.... i hope they'll be hosts again minus Adi.. maybe get Najip Ali who may do a better job?... but they're great!!.... oh!... and/or maybe replace one of them to Sarimah!... heheheh... confirm KECOH!...

Overall, something's amiss from the whole show... can't put my fingers on it... but there's definitely something that's kinda missing!....

Oh!... i also saw someone i used to know at this year's APM.. (i think he's the one lah though i couldn't be sure...) but seeing him suddenly brought me back to the "past"... hhehehehe... hmmmm... if he's the guy I used to know, am glad he's doing well.. and nice voice as ever, dude!!... ;)

SURVIVOR PALAU
this is a SUPER POWER first episode!..... i hope the coming ones won't be disappointing though!!.. there's this guy... didn't get his name... is super-duper, yummy-licious looking!.... such eyes!.... aaaaah!.... tat six-pack abs!..... aaaaah..... kiiiiiuuuut!.... simply irrisistable!.... menjilat jari betul!!.... hahahhaa......

WELCOME HOME!!!....
Mom and Dad have safely reached Singapore at 12nn today!.... a near heart attack as I didn't expect their flight to reach half an hour earlier than expected!!.... was doing my donuts and some more cleaning up when I found out abt the change!!....

My donuts were a success!!..... yummy!... kekekkke...... nyayi's soto ayam is also finger-licking goood!... and the troopers were looking pretty good after the bout of illness that hit them while they were there!.... the only person who wasn't hit with sore-eyes, cough, flu, blah.. blah.. blah... was MOM!.... amazing!.... they said thank god mom was there to nurse them.... hahahhaa.....

anyways, a lot of goodies got brought back!... mom bought hennai tubes and powder for me!.... weeeee!!... anyone wants??... let me know plsssss.... and who can draw the hennai for me?.... i wanna try the colour lah!!.....

freaky stories got told!.... one of my aunt, got attack - sexually! - by a that thing in her room and it followed her wherever she goes!.... this is wat we call - setan mentel!... and then, there's also another pakcik mentel in the group!.... eyed my aunt and kept looking out for her and all and mom had to keep him in check so that he dun try anything funny!... and the weird thing is, he's there with his wife!... unbelievable!.... "pakcik!... orang gi haji buat kerja baik tau!... bukan nak macam2!... GATAL!"

should be hearing more juicy stories when we gather once again... can't wait!!....

SURPRISE!

Dearie gave me a nice, sweet surprise like just a few minutes ago!... made me teared!.... hmmmmm.... i know he loves me but i can't help feeling neglected the past few days.... and so, what did this wretched, spoilt brat do?.... blew up of course!... last nite. before going to sleep!....

and now, guilty as hell bcoz i sure shouldn't have blown up at him!... urrrgh!.... what's new?!....

anyways, dear.... i love u too and sure as hell dun wanna lose you!... :) but sometimes, do spare a tot for this spoilt brat who lurrrrrves and yearn for YOUR attention!.... and if she's not given enough attention, she can become NUTS!

INSANELY BORED...
I AM insanely bored out of my mind!.... i do have things to do... but i dun feel like doing them though actually, i'm about to finish anyways.... so here i am, bored like no one's bisnes!!.... i wish to discuss my wedding plans (or rather dinner program) with someone.. but not sure who i can share it with!... dun wanna involve or more of, dun wanna tell my frenz too much for i dun want it NOT to be a "surprise" oredi!... okay.. i'm blabbering.. i know..... but tat's bcoz i'm BORED!... baaaah!...

niways, been having weird dreams.... freaky dreams abt my wedding... not been able to sleep well.... and NO... not bcoz of my "wedding dreams" but juz not been able to sleep well.... but wateva it is, my freaky wedding dreams seemed pretty nitemarish!... it's like wateva or however my wedding turned out to be (in my dreams), it's all foiled or will turn wrong.. blah.. blah... freak!... it's making me get cold feet!... i think i need a realiable wedding planner.. who can plan and co-ordinate my wedding for me, pls.... it has made me rather gi-la thinking abt it!!.....
to the point of juz having a normal malay wedding, under the void deck which i am simply refusing


On the good side of things, i do have my mom to fall back on - to do all the worrying for me!.. hahaha... i've yet to tell her my program... which by a girlfriend's standard, may be a bit disturbing.. and i have to admit.. maybe a bit "too much" for a "makcik" to handle/accept... but i've always held on to my belief of my nawaitu.... and you can't blame a girl for growing up with fairy-tales and mushy hollywood movies, aye?... howell!..... as long as i have a wedding dinner and enjoyed it very much with my favourite (read: close/personal. and i really do hope mom and dad limit their invites!) relatives and friends and of course my dearie by the side, i would be contented....

oh!.. there's another issue abt this Malay weddings!... both me and dearie didn't plan on any gift exchange... and one who's married and does this gift exchange ritual would understand that this part of the "ceremony" cost abt $1000 in total?..... well, pls doooooo pray that we dun have to go through it..i dun see why we have to.... u can buy them whenever after marriage, rite?... i dun see why i have to buy my cosmetics there and then... or shoes - which i buy them often enuff!.. or bag which i buy often enuff and dun use them often enuff as well!.. i dun think i wanna.. but if his mom insist, then, that'd mean goodbye to a good $500 at least?!..... gosh!.... more moooolaaaahs pfft?!..... juz for statistics sake, anyone ready to share with me how much you spend in total plus wateva ur parents paid for (if ur parents chipped in) for your wedding?... it'd be interesting to see how much the wedding/marriage(??) industry does from us minah/mat kawen-kawen!!....

seriously, after re-reading this entry, i sound like a stingy sourpuss!... gawd!... haha..... if you have read thus far, kudos for reading this insane. irate. rambling entry!... brrrr... wedding jitters??.... NOT!.... kwang... kwang... i'm getting married next year!.... weeeee!!!....... at last i can say NEXT YEAR!... but heck!.. tat seems soooooo near and soooo lil' time to prepare!..... hmmm.... by the way, my wedding's exactly 2wks after i celebrate my 26th bday in the Islamic calender!!.... ;) go figure!!...

FRESH!.... FRESH!....
FRESH like the freshly-baked bread this morning!... :) after all that sleep and lazing around and trying to "katam" the VCDs (that I took from Gems) over the weekend, my running nose has come back to it's original "position". I can think clearer now but i still sound nasal-like and have teeny-weeny bit of mucus left to sniffle here and there!... haha!.....

it's apprx 4 more days to arrival of my mom and dad and the rest... missing them very badly!.. but at the same time, felt like it's too soon for them to come back!... the house is in a not-so-desiring state rite now!... dearie helped with cleaning/scrubing the toilet on saturday... bro helped with scrubing the front yard and i did some clearing away stuffs coz i figured, i might as well do the vacuuming and mopping on wed since it's gonna get dusty again anyway!.. kekekeke.... *excuses! excuses!*....

and nyayi like soooooo worried that the troopers are not coming home with anything but bread at their respective homes, that she decides to organise her own "welcome party" for them!... i was about to make my own pizza for them... so, now, i've decided to make doughnats instead!... anyone care to give me any tips in doughnat making??!... hehehehhee.....

VALENTINE'S DAY
it's V-DAY today!.... though as a Muslim, i'm not encouraged (or actually not allowed to??) to celebrate it, but I do have non-Muslim peepz coming here to visit..... so here's a shout out to one and all - Happy Lovey-Dovey Day y'all!!... i'd like to say, it's a celebration of LOVE!... so go celebrate your love with your partner/spouse, your girlfriends/boyfriends, granny/grandad, siblings/other family members, your colleagues and yadidadida...

GONG XI FA CAI!!
Oh my GAWD!!... inconsiderate me!... i totally forgot to greet my Chinese frenz/readers a

VERY HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!!...

;) gong xi! gong xi!.... tui bu chi hor!!....i would have done up a nice "greeting card".. but bcoz of this half-friend brains of mine which is not functioning properly today... i'll give it a miss!.....

WEDDING 4
Yana wedded Iril on 5th Feb at 2pm.... in Ani's words... felt a loss when one of your girlfriends got wedded... however, i know that i'm happy for her for finding that true love and her man of her dreams!....

A simple wedding affair... great clothes, great make-up, lovely decor and a very late "best man"... HAH!... to Iril, on behalf of my dearest, sooooo sorry for being late!.....

To both of you, congratulations!..... once the video and pictures are ready, plan for an outing to someone's house, eh?.... we'll rope Ayu in to bring her wedding pictures as well!..... can't wait!!......

anyways, really can't go into detail because I'm sick!.... so, will let the pictures do the talking!!....

pictures here..

BUTT HEAD!
If only someone had as big and as productive as her butt for a brain, she would have been soooo much more well-liked than she is now!... gosh!.... God gave you brains to think, a job as a responsibility and a heart for a conscience and what did you do?..... such a butt head!... shirking responsibility and putting the blame on others is wat you LOVE to do!..... fuck you!.. the world can exist w/o people like you lor!....

wat do u do to deserve a $2K pay? NOTHING!... everytime something crops up that requires your responsibility and "expertise" you evade it by coming up with "I'm busy" excuse!.... fuck you!... everyone's bz with their own freakin job!... it is YOUR freakin responsibility!... but nooooooo!!!...... you're toooooo BZ to go lunch or chit-chat or do other work other than your OWN!.. blardy butt head!!.... the organisation don't pay you so that you can follow up with your shares and grow that big butt of yours lor!..... if you don't treat your job seriously, i strongly recommend you to give up that job of yours and give it to someone who's MORE in need of a job!!.....

A BRAND NEW DAY..
A brand new start...I'll admit that i was affected by the decision made.. very affected... but heck.... as a dear friend said - cry as much as you want today and tml will be another day.... and YUP!.. so, i'm facing today as a brand new day!... wateva happens, happens for a reason... I can't wait to meet up with the girls tonite!!..... prata for dinner, aye, girls?....

FIKNATIC!
YEAY!.... They have set up a fan club for Taufik Batisah and his official website is up and running.. Click here to join the club!!....

DISAPPOINTMENT
bloody disappointed with yesterday's outcome.. it wasn't as smooth sailing as i hoped it would be but i guessed as much that I'll be disappointed...However, the disappointment in that bitch is immense and now, for sure I am able to agree with my dear friend wat a two-faced puki mak she really is!.... i dun think i'm able to have small talks with her anymore!... so, i hope our paths dun cross after today... need me to cool down first before i'm able to look at her!

But of course, on a positive note, I'm glad there are people who believe in me and my potential and were willing to fight for me! ME!.... i'm blessed. but there's only so much one can do.. so, we'll juz see wat's in it for me in the future!.... kalau dah jodoh dan rezeki, tak ke mana... if it's fated and meant to be, insya-allah, it'll happen!... if it's not yours, it's not and will never be.. I juz have to move on and prove to the world I can be who they thought I never will be!.... ;)

It went smoothly.. too smooth except that minor glitch from the bitch!... hmph!... stewpid bitch always giving me stewpid questions!.. but fuck!.... well... cross fingers, it's gonna be smooth sailing from here... even if not, i'd say - it's juz not fated..... hmmmm.....
