ShockThat LONG since my last update?! I'm feeling much better peepz......pardon my previous entry. Life has been pretty eventful and hectic and I was attacked by Mr. LAZY! Wicked Grin Let's just sum up my weekend.....

Friday 24th September:
Took half-day, met Hubby, Bro & my aunt. Had late lunch @ Banquet Raffles Hospital before we proceed to JB by cab. Stopped @ Plaza Kotaraya for my fitting and picked up her baju. Brows baju awak cantik tau! Had to return on Sun to collect my bajus as they need to do some alterations. Reach Bukit Indah just before 6pm. "Rewang2" till near to 1am!! But that was fun...it's been a while since the last "rewang" session. But hubby retired early as he wasn't feeling well. Jangkit my sis probably.

Saturday 25th September:
Started the day @ 8am....thank u for the knock on the door mummy. The bed to comfortable lah...and dun mention the aircon...POWER! It was potong-everything for me & aunt while mummy & daddy did the cooking. Hubby & bro...biasa....busy wif the heavy stuffs and the shifting ard and the errand boys! Suka eh dapat drive ard and not forgetting the curi tulang part. The kenduri started after the Solat Isya'a berjemaah. It's common in JB......everyone will gather just before the prayer times and perform prayer berjemaah and then continue with the bacaan doa for the kenduri. It was a busy nite for us the host...but for daddy and mummy it was simple task....kata host...duduk pat luar and PR u. hehehehe ALmost 11:30pm, hubby and I set off for SG...had to send my Bro as he hv the Army Half Marathon on Sunday. Passed by secondlink as it's easier for Bro to take a cab and nearer to Bukit Indah. The Tuas Checkpoint was so quiet and the scary feeling attacked me. I was reminded of the incident 2 wks back where this malay guy commited suicide there. Semoga rohnya tenteran dan dicucuri rahmat..Insya'Allah. Drop Bro @ Jurong...somewhere near the Go-Cart plc. Made our way back to Bukit Indah and ALhamdullillah the trip home was a smooth one and we reached home safely @ 1am. The roads were very dark and it was our first time.

Ok here's the menu for Saturday:
Nasi Beryani
Ayam Masak Merah
Daging Beryani
Dalca
Sambal Udang
Acar Timun
Pacri Nenas
Jelly Cocktail
Kuih Lopis
Kuih Kaswe
Kuih Bakar kentang
Talam Keladi
And last but not least - Soda 2


Sunday 26th September 2004:

Alarm Clock 11am and it was time to WAKE UP! Had our lunch, prayers, laze ard as it was raining and finally got ready and called a cab @ 3:30pm. Destination - Plaza Kotaraya (again!) to pick up my baju and City Sq for some shopping. My Hari Raya bajus are ready, left with one more to be collected this week. Bouncy Colors 2 Met my cuzzins @ Glitz, they were there to collect their bajus also. In fact all the ladies from my mum's side sends their baju to Glitz. Even my granny u know! hehehehe The Loyal Customers! Quickly picked up my bajus and rushed off to City Sq as the sky was really dark. Had Tau Huay (beancurd) and char kuey and bought some back too. Oh and not forgetting my mooncake!! Haggle with the "teksi sapu" apekz but dissapointed...the apekz wanted to charge us S$45 for all for of us...hey that was S$5 extra u know....we tot it was ex and we cld get cheaper ones so tried our luck wif the malay pakciks and guess wat....lagi cekik darah! They wanted us to pay S$50!! And some more have the cheek to ask me to queue if I want a cheaper cab. N yes...that was wat we did. Tak boleh harap punya melayu...$1 pun tak boleh kurang! Pissed Tak heran lah nak naik kereta awak! N we queued for the cab and we didn't have to wait VERY long....just abt 45mins-1hr we got a cab. Though it stopped @ Rochor, we only paid RM10...sungguh puas hati! Hubby was hungry - cooked chickie porridge while ironing my clothes. Retired earlier than hubby as my tummy dun feel good.


Monday 27th September:
Thanks to Mr Tau Huay aka Beancurd......the nite was so eventful! 4 trip to my faveret Women's Room Constipated !! Reached office @ 10:30am! Wakka Wakka Of course with the approval of my boss.

Sad?! Disturbed?! It's about EVERYTHING!!

Feeling Blue Why am I feeling what I'm feeling now?! Why must this happen to me? Why must ppl keep on raking the past? Why does JOKE exists? When someone make a joke you are supposed to Happy or Too Funny but why do I Blowing Nose ? So many 'whys' but I doubt there is an answer to all 'why'. Ppl can call me anything but no one knows wat I'm feeling inside or why i am badly affected by what was meant as a joke by someone. Others can forget the past and live on but I can't and that is the reason why i've asked for the past to be buried and not mentioned time and time again. I've even ignored calls from dear friends and my hubby coz of my unstable feelings - i feel really bad! I hope they understand what I'm going through and pardon my emotions. I'm Sorry If I continue, it will be bad. Bad for me and bad for the ppl around me. I hope for an END......

Du'a at the Time of Distress
Allah (SWT) is sufficient for me and He is the Best Helper.

Was supposed to meet each other earlier but due to work commitments...we finally met @ abt 7pm. The supposed plan to Tekka Mall and Bendemeer for dinner was changed as I didn't feel like going to Lil India. Collected my skirts which I sent for alterations and headed back to the East. Took bus # 51 and ended up ar Haig Rd! :p Had samosas, spring rolls and satay and the super yucky sabsuka! Holding Handswe headed back home. 10mins walk and that's all it takes to reach Heart/home.

Saturday 09 September '04:

Happy Sent Dad & Mum to Harbourfront for their countless trip to Tanjung Balai. Went to Giant over at PP coz I needed to get stuffs. Had our breakfast Burger Joint @ BK and it was Yum Yum! Grabbed the stuffs and headed back home. It was a lazy Saturday for us. We were still full from breakfast therefore decided to skip lunch and just ate some snacks. Made samosa as it's been quite a while since I've had home-made ones. After that, lazy2 us...we hit the sofa and went Zzzzz in no time. Hubby was first and dollowed by me 1/2 hr later. There goes our cycling plan! Cover Up Hubby woke me up @ abt 5pm and suddenly hunger strikes me! Heat up yesterday's food (as mummy had cooked a lot and none of us touched it yet), fried bergedil, black pepper chicken and samosa (hubby's faveret). Lazed ard again after the lunch cum dinner and it was TV programmes for us. After maghrib, we decided to walk over to geylang for "jalan2" and also to get the instant ketupat. On weekends u get to see all kind of human beings over @ Geylang!Sickened

Another lazy day for us!! Cooked Lontong Goreng and fried the samosa which I made the day before. After makan it was "golek2" time and then it was PS2 for hubby and magazine time for me. Left home @ 7.30pm to fetch moi parents. Mum's story was so funny...she tried smuggling eggs but forget it mum! Kena caught oredy! Laugh N the officers were so smart....they actually ask the "troublemaker" to throw away the eggs themselves. It was Komala's for dinner and daddy's treat as always. Goofy

BLOOD!! Ouchhhh!

Yes it was BLOOD trickling down hubby's mouth!! I was having my bath when I heard someone knocking on the toilet door continuously and guess what did dat person say? "Dear quick...I ada hal nie!" and the voice sounded shaky! Quickly grabbed whatever I could find and open the door. Ya Allah...i almost fainted when I saw the pool of blood on hubby's hands and mouth! My limbs were so weak but told myself I'd better control my mind n body. I need to clean this man up before both of us faint!! Asked him what happened and he said "Dunno...suddenly banyak darah...i ingatkan air apa yg meleleh!" When I heard dat....I couldn't help but Laughing Baby. Told hubby to rinse his mouth while I put on my clothes. Quickly grabbed a Towel n ice.....pressed the ice on the lips....rupa2nya his lips were too dry and somehow it just "cracked". Took quite a while to numb the lip n stop the blood from oozing out....dah mcm orang kena tumbuk! hehehe Smothered vaseline on his lips albeit the "struggle" and the "Please, please, no, no!" Hysterical Sorry dear.....u the patient n me the nurse....so no choice but to do it my way! And I hope it will be the first and the last SCARE!!!Right Hug

IKEA & JB anyone?!

Sent Mom & Dad to TMFT for their trip to Tanjung Pinang. Then proceed for Big Breakfast @ McD Kallang with hubby. Burger Joint It was quite refreshing to be out early and hv breakfast together out of the house. Might do that again when we get another opportunity. After breakfast, sent hubby to work for his meeting and I drove back home. On the way home, stopped by Hjh Maimunah to get my bro's lunch. The super pampered big boy!

Took a short rest before it was time to drive again. This time....to pick hubby up from his workplace and it's IKEA time!! Although I was happy at the mentioned of I-K-E-A, didn't spend much though as we didn't find dat many stuffs to buy. Bought a door mat, pizza cutter, lace day-curtain and storage boxes in Red & Blue. Happy with our purchases we then proceed to Queensway SC. We were @ Queensway when my aunt sms...asking us if we want to tag along to JB to service her "sport car". We agreed as we didn't hv any plans and didn't know where else to go to. So it was another round of "shopping" @ JB while the cars was being serviced. Dinner was at one of the restaurant @ STulang Bay....didn't catch the name though. It was just a short dinner and for 5pax we paid only RM24. SUper cheap!!

The way back to SG was a smooth one, no traffic jam on both sides of the checkpoint. Headed straight to Mustaffa Center to grab some missing ingredients for the pizza (couldn't find @ Xtra). Bought pizza base, chicken strips and smoked turkey breast. Didn't roam far @ Mustaffa as I was alone. Hubby had to guard the "sport car" as we could seem to be able to lock one of the doors! Kereta dah senior katakan....mcm2 malfunctions! hehehe Ok need a rest as my tummy's aching......Nite!

Singapore Casket!

Eyes PoppinDid I mention Singapore Casket? Yes I did! And it is unbelievable that I actually stepped into that place. Me the most penakut one actually agreed to join my other colleagues. Tak pernah terlintas nak step my foot there. Went there for a wake of one of my colleague's dad who passed away on Tuesday morning. It was an experience I must say, being in the same room and so close to the coffin!

To Sherryl, I'm Sorry For Your Loss . Be strong girl and life has to go on. Although we are not that close but I can still feel the pain. Saw how drained she was and the sad face.Blue Guess everyone of us will be in her position one day...either we lose our loved ones or vice versa.......it's a matter of time.
