Convo Zimah

The Company : Khair and Wothen

Pick-up Point : God-Knows-Where-Do-We-Meet-in-UiTM??

Yes, since neither one of us studied there, we had a hard time locating the darned Hall and where to park? So we practised something we learnt while we were all in Uni, that is Illegal Parking. Larikkk~!!

The Crowned One : Azimah

The Other Half : Mozac

Long story short, we were all in the same high school. SMSTJ. Sekian. How small is this world again??

The Crowd : Most of my 'groupie' in high school with an addition, Alia who is Zimah's UiTM friend.

I have no idea what we said to one another, it was so hot and obviously we were all pretty melted by the time we had all gathered.

The Blooming One : Siyes aku tatau nak tarok caption ape. Wothen ko mmg comel sejak dlu lagi.


The Camwhores : Love you guys to pieces!! And thanks for bearing with the heat, getting lost and surely found!

The Family Picture : And towards the end, Yatimontok arrived on location. Its as if she lived hundreds of miles away lah from UiTM. Silly girl.

Congrats to Zimah..!!

Bolt et Nino!

Do you remember her? El-Nino's back!! For good. Her parents have finished their term in Geneva, and are most likely to be posting out in a few years' time. I wanted to take her out for a movie, its been a while. And I wanted to make sure by lil' bro was there to enjoy the event as well.

But little princess here didn't feel like it in the morning when I called her up. However though, later in the day she was calling my mom up telling us how badly she wanted to go catch a movie like, now.

The Mix : Jengga came all the way to join us, she was on a day off I think on that day. We had to catch a 3D version of Bolt. Tickets, check. Popcorn, check. 5-year old with a grown-up attitude, check.

"I can't see anything!! Ckin, I can't see..!!" (with a God-forbid Brit accent, like who are you again?)

"Put the glasses on, and then you can see clearer"

"Oh wow, I can touch it. Ckinnn I can touch it!! These glasses are..SUPER DUPPPERRR~!!"

Holy popcorn. Super duper? What does she feed off? TV series? Haha. What a charming charming 5 year old you are. I hope you will be able to read this when you grow older.

Cutesy baby-girl striked a pose for me. How charming can she get?

"So tell me, what time do you go to sleep at night?" (I asked since its been a while since I chaperoned any body shorter than 2 feet tall)

"I sleep, and then I wake up when the chicken Cockle-Doodle-Doos. And then I get up after the chicken Cockle-Doodle-Doos..."

Like seriously, how old are youuuu??!!

Batu Caves

One of the blissful vacation days I took in my hometown of KL. Well actually I have always made a promise to myself that I shall visit the Batu Caves one of the days. I always travel up to Ulu Yam to send Ashwan off to school. And usually, Batu Caves was just a 'jam' spot. The place always went by in a blur.

Much to our suprise, the parking area was big and spacious. No jams or confusion going on. What were we expecting? After all this was a place of prayers. Ohm.. I do yoga, but not to the point that a simple cat's pose would 'deflour' me of my Islamic beliefs. Seriously.



The stairs were a plenty and steep, but we endured them one by one. Carefully avoiding the monkeys who were out to play. And at times we'd pause and read the numbers on the stairs. Mama told me that long before there were no numbers on the stairs..Ah well, just so you know, there were about 300 something stairs up that temple.




Then there was a monkey who strayed away on top of the lorry. But that was after we posed and enjoyed the stalactite and stalagmite in the caves.

After that we passed by KLPAC and took some more pictures lah. So tired of typing so formal. Ok ni je la update kali ni. I have tonnes of pic but not enough patience to share all of them.

Jian's Big Day

Happy Birthday to Baby Shafiq Adam!! I hope I got the spelling right. Cutesy baby boy.. got up bright and early so that when I visited the newly born, he would not be dozing off as he has always been doing inside his mum's tummy. Haha. Clever =) Actually, I wanted to visit the new facility at Prince Court Medical Center. Its pretty impressive. Aside from the fact that one of the nurses practically bumped the baby cart right into the door while pushing the baby cart towards the mother's room. Bertuah. Why I didn't go all mommy and scolded the silly nurse on the spot pon tatau. Buduh. I should do that next time I am there.

Welcome to the world, Shafiq Adam!

***

Then I headed off to Putrajaya, Menara PJH to be exact for my buddy Jian's wedding with her SLB hubby lover dude man. Haha. We were pretty early and had to wait for Hana + KK + KK's sister to arrive. Pastu nasik pon abes. Best kan? Haha..lamat sgt sampai. We fooled around and took pictures with the wedding cake while Jian was busy posing mosing for the photographer.

The interior of the hall was pretty, with fresh white roses and candle lit tables. Here is Hana with the flower near her head. Haha.

And here is me and KK with the dress that she wore to Lhene's wedding. OK, I think I told you that I remeber these thingsss.. And hana juge pkai baju y aku pernah nampak somewhere. I think it was both at Lhene's wedding. Ciskek. Lhene is now expecting. So fast the time flies. So broken my english.



Last and not least. Jian and her hubby boify lover man. Nizam. I hope that's his name. I always confuse it with Nazir. And Nazim. Hee hee.. May your marriage be blessed and full of happiness.. InsyaAllah =)

M.A.C.- Up your mind!!

It was a beautiful day to make yourself even more prettier. Nak gune perkataan beautiful, but felt it to be redundant. Hehe. Throughout my vacation of ONE month at home, I found myself to frequent KLCC like on a daily basis. Apart from the fact that the Twin Tower Fitness Center is free for all SLB employees, I found it irritating yet fun all at the same time. Penyakit tak?

There was a FREE make-up touch-up done by MAC for their Chrismas promotion, with the yummy theme color RED being the main feature. I didn't have anyone to drag along - especially on a weekdays since everyone else was working. Sweet Jengalina took a half-day off to accompany me!! Wuu yea.. best best. Freebies? Sape tak nak!!

In the hot seat!! Oh dan top itu I got it for her when I was away in the UK. Yes, I remember everything.


Jengga BEFORE/DURING la kot eh lg tepat? She had her face done by one of the make-up artists, and before he could get any further with the painting, we told him we would want her to have dramatic eyes and super duper nude lippies. Yumm.




And I had Miss Rachel, so sweet and friendly. Usually the ladies at MAC are like ice-queen and kinda mortifiyingly snobbish. Haha, such mean generalization, am I in trouble? Anyways, Rachel was asking me all sorts of questions, what I do, why I need to look good. Mind you - we went for the sit in right after zohor prayers so all I had on was my moisturizer.

"You should at least put on compact powder and lipstick, eventhough you are an engineer.." Cam. Oh rili. Hahahhaa.. but I just nodded in agreement.

So on went the spritzer refresher thing, the pearl effect moisturizer and then the base+primer lotion before she added on layers and layers of pretty strokes. Hehe. Suke ok.

Ini mata Jengga yang cantik. Her eyes were always the pretty almond type, so serine like kucen.

Ini pule mata aku y sepet. So sepet like cine. Oh well actually come to think of it we both look chinese like lah. Just depends on when you catch a glimpse of us. Pictures were taken in the pretty lighting of the Apartment, KLCC.

Where we had yummy prawn fettucini in tomato basil sauce. The ambience was nice and fresh, the decor picture perfect. But the service - sucked. For a classy place like that, to put in foreign labor who joked at your order was not my idea of a good place to pay a lot of money. Sabar je la.

Oh and relating to the topic that was put at the top of this entry, we dwelled over lunch..and later decided on which items we personally were going to splurge on. Hehe. Jengga got the basic brush set and the Warm eye pallette. Whilst I chickened out and got the eye brush set. But - later during the month I purchased the Warm eye pallette as well. Hehehehehe..

This entry is to remind me that I spent my money - more than my usual swipes - how and where. And most importantly, WHO influenced me most!! Jengs, sorry to break it to you honey, this would be the last time I bring you out on any spree. I kidd I kiddd~

Kak Iju Sudah Kawen

My most prettiest kakak sepupu, Iju is now married!! Me and mum helped out a lot with the preparation..holyyy. So much to do so little time. But we did our best and in the end everything went well. Nothing in life can be so perfect, so we are happy with the outcome. All I can say is that it’s a shame the pictures all revolve around this one main character – the humidifier~!! Haha. We should have positioned the bride and groom closer to the stage. But little did we know when the Ustaz called upon the bride, he wanted to do the ‘serious’ stuff nearby the humidifier. Hapekahh.

Oleh sebab aku tak suke himidifier itu, aku post gamba ni je la..

I tested the new member of my loved ones, a 2nd hand dslr we got for a fraction of the price here in Kemaman. Our own nikon d80! The couple hired a guy from FINAS, and the outcome was pretty good. He even lets the couple choose which pictures they want to explode to a bigger size. Nice haa.

Pictures to fill in the blanks!!

Mama and Kak Iju in her room.. simple and pink.

This picture is the true-est picture of the whole bunch. Us hogging like no tomorrow!! Lapa siottss.

The reception was held the next day at Dewan Risda, since both my aunt and uncle worked there before. I wasn't in the mood for picture taking so I want to only share this one where I looked like I was working so hard. Haha..

Sorry for the late reporting. But the net was down when I was blissfully making myself and the couch at home as one.. hahaha.. later lah.

Nervousness

All this talk about oil prices on the brink of its minimum allowances is just driving me nuts. For the first time in history, it is the money that is causing the oil prices to drop, and not the other way around.

It felt like I just walked out of my safe place and into the real world did I know how serious this issue is. Termination and recession? Those two are a mouthful, let alone causing my shopping binges overboard with regret.

They are going to cut people. The list is out. Holy smokes.

Hedonism

I am writing as I am thinking. I wanted to write about how the real world struck me hard as I made my way into the first few days of my vacation. I forgot how nice the pillow felt when I didn't have to throw it far away in the morning. Best gile siot dapat tido lame.

I came across this word in the papers one day. I thought it had something to do with the banning of my favourite challenging sport. But it actually was about the obsession of worldly delights. I am one of those people who would get caught up in spending too much or splurging once too often and when the piggy bank runs dry, I will be left to sit on my sorry arse alone on the sofa. Haha. It has always been like this for me though, regardless of whether it was when I lived on rm 1,500 during uni years or the more lavish amount I am getting now on a monthly payroll.

Some things just won't change. Like the fact that he always flirts with the girl across the counter and even plays with his speedlite-800 on her face or that he thinks that the girl who walked  by simply must have noticed how good-looking he was..or like the fact that he'd rather test his camera settings on a static ash tray and the fact that he has openly confessed that he wants to start smoking again..is somehow related to the fact that money will never be enough.

Huh, they are so related right?
