That's Emre right there, who can sleep anywhere.

one last step

Uerghmahgad I am freaking out my visa interview is next week!

trailer NYCinta

Here's the NYCinta trailer. Catch it on ASTRO First!

my cooking jam

I'll never admit it verbally but this is my must-play-album-while-cooking. 
Berdansa di hujung gelisah, everytime I cook.

These days I've been reading kapanlagi.com to keep updated on ahmad dhani's son's recent kecelakaan. I don't understand most of the stuff written on this website but it's a nice change from the usual inane stuff you read in our local entertainment industry.

Here, you get comments like "Ila Damia tu x nak twerking kat Robin Thicke tu ke?" (re: MTV World Stage) or ustazah/ustaz wannabes preaching like they know everything. Sure, we are all quick to judge, we are quick to punish but even on decent news you get people/anons commenting negatively! Seriously you guys. Nevertheless, the comments are entertaining to read at times. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including #wardinator who seems angry at the world most of the time. *roll eyes*

That aside, ahmad dhani, shame on you. I'm sorry, but your parenting skills are terrible.

Stuff Your Face, BSC.

I keep forgetting that if I ever feel like having chicken chop that is not Cozy Corner's or Coliseum's I can always swing by Stuff Your Face at BSC for a delicious substitute. And the portion is huge! 

Plus, it's one of the rare places where I can eat in peace with the kids because it's a kid-friendly restaurant and I don't have to worry about kids running away. Heh. 

sundae.

Takin' the kids out today for an activities-filled day. It's been a while since I last take the boys out to somewhere fun (weekends are mostly spent with my families) and you know shopping malls and rowdy boys just don't mix! 

Wish me luck. 

Secretly, Greatly.

And I saw this movie last night? Even the non-kpopper husband of mine agrees that Korean movies are awesome (the gorier the better). Don't be fooled by the seemingly high-school drama poster for this movie coz this is a kick-ass spy movie!  

It annoys me that whenever I mention something Korean people immediately assume it's KPOP. Come on, don't be so shallow (sorry) there's more to life than kpop music (bitch please I don't only listen to pop) and Winter Sonata. 

Although I've never been to Korea, it drives me crazy when people come back from Korea and proudly say OH WE VISITED THAT WINTER SONATA SET. *roll eyes* Hello Winter Sonata came out 11 years ago! Move on!   

Ok the boys are up. Laterz.

home.

I try to make it a point to come home with the boys on Friday no matter how tired I am. Although when we get home, the kids will dive straight into their toys and strew them around. Then we will probably watch a movie (if the movie has superheroes or zombies or pirates then I am safe) and by midnight I will probably bicker with the nocturnal boys because they. simply. refuse. to. sleep.

In the morning I'd wake up an hour (or two) earlier than my babies and I try to catch up on my books, youtubes (the amount of links my friends and I share on weekdays are phenomenal), fanfics, laundry and trying to clear up the mess in the house. But clearing up the toys will be futile because then Emre will scream JANGAN KEMAS! ^_^

So I must apologize in advance if my husband comes home from New York expecting changes because domestic life stood still without you, dear husband.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna make myself some toast (Massimo bread no less, so crucify me) and wake the boys up. 

Don't forget to watch NYCinta on ASTRO First! Roy worked so hard on this and suffice to say I fell in love with the script and this baby is finally out! Can't wait to watch it. Ghaz is amazing. I've been fangirling over his music videos for ages and now a collabo with Roy! It's just amazing. 

where there is supposed to be a proper post here

(dear husband, i'm sorry I stole your chicken picture. bet you're missing this now)

Dan.

Sometimes I feel guilty for crying over arwah Danial for only once a year. But this is how I stay sane. Every 10 September, I allow myself to be this weak and miserable aunt who has lost her nephew to cancer. Every 10 September, I am wrecked with guilt – they told me he was gonna be okay and I thought okay, I'll see you for Raya, Danial.  

 

It gets harder every year. But maybe few years down the line, it'll get easier to deal with this anniversary.  I miss him.  

 

 

weekend!

Maybe i can squeeze in one entry before I head to my mom's house.
Okay maybe I can't.

Train ride

Day #2 on the train. This universal banking training better take me somewhere in life. I'm feeling kinda sick today because I couldn't resist walking in the rain yesterday. 

Yesterday too my acid rain brain made a stupid pact with Master Pok. If I lose weight during my holiday next month, he'll buy me 2 scoops of Belgian choc ice-cream. If I gain weight, he wants a home-cooked roasted chicken using the healthiest ingredients including coconut oil. What?!! But not to worry, I'll get Roy to make the chicken for me if I lose this bet heheh. 

People on the train, I have a question for you, who are you stalking?

AND THEY ARE ALL ON FACEBOOK. 

There's gotta be more to life than this hombres. 

Plants vs. Zombies 2

Meet Bonkchoy!

Ok scoot over Slugterra, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is here! 

Enjoying the game although my gamer son keeps going back to PvsZ 1! I don't know why but maybe he finds the Egypt plot a bit confusing. Sure, the game is a lot tougher but the new addition to the v2 actually makes it easier to kill them zombies (stop stealing my sunshine you bastards!). Beats dealing with humans anytime if you ask me.

saturday us3

Down with a typical malady, a low grade fever, cough and a running nose (that could probably run for miles). If my dad was still around he would make me get out of bed and act like I'm not sick. 


I'm doing this for you, dad. I'm getting up.

Nasi Arab

This is definitely something that I need to learn how to make from my sister. I've pretty much given up on trying to make kuzi (have you seen the ingredients required?!!) so I need to go berguru with her. It is so, so delicious. Pair it with ayam kurma, then it's bye-bye to weight loss for life. 

But of course on Monday I turn into a pathological liar when I have to report my food intake progress to Master Pok. I'm sorry! *smirks*

who's counting

Heading to my sister's house today!

The boys are home for the weekend. Had a good sleep but Rumi woke up at 3 and Imaan woke up at 6 demanding milk. Hish.

Er, that is all. Oh my it's almost 11am! Idris Rumi!!! Bangun!!!

Because we are missing us.

Because my coping mechanism is an utter fail.

Coming out. No, not me.

Recently one of my favorite crafty bloggers (from America) came out. Mind you she has a teenage daughter and a husband as well. A shocker but I once thought to myself "hey, she's kinda butch". Then gradually you hardly see her husband in her posts anymore. Then she started feeling nervous about Prop8. Okayyy, something must be up!

I don't know where this post is heading but I guess we grow with our favorite bloggers. What we read and who we support may not define who we are, but we learn from their experience. My readers may have dropped significantly since everybody started blogging but I'm grateful to have those few who stuck by me, and some of them have become my friends, whom without them, I don't think I would be where are I am right now.  

Wait, where am I in life right now? I'm in a state of content. I tend to attract misunderstandings, I get snappy easily, but I am grateful to those who seems to be able to accept me for who I am. 

Eyy, what is this, macam victory speech pulaks! Time for bed I guess. Early start tomorrow, I think it's time for my monthly weigh in. 

Good night. 

slow week

This week passes by so slowly. All of us are back to work, but that's not the case for KL I guess. Morning traffic is still bearable because I'm already at work by 815am every morning. A record!

 

That is all.

Rumi and his favorite pastime

The photos I found in my gadgets always crack me up.

Ini belum the funny faces he made for his selca. GPOY*!

rant #53086

I disagree.

Sorry, just need to rant a little.

So a colleague lost everything in a blaze. He has a newborn baby (who is still in neonatal ICU) and a small family that would probably need to build back their life from scratch.

So our office is organizing a week-long donation drive for him. "Only monetary donation?" I asked.

"Yes, that's what he prefers right now".

Look, I know that money is important, that cash is king. But I felt that if we also donate physical items like clothes, food, school items etc. would that be great too? I'm not trying to be a scrooge here but during this time of need, money isn't everything.

Oh well, it's his call. I can't imagine having to go through this terrible thing when we're all happily celebrating Raya.
