The weekend that was and October babies

First thing I did when I woke up last Sunday morning was to look up fesyen pengantin berbadan gempal. Did not get much info so I googled fesyen pengantin berisi instead. Told SS about it while having brunch later on which made her laughed her heart out. Errr what's so funny about that??
Anyway, all that came out were a bunch of baju kurung moden and gowns with flowing skirts below the bust. I think I'll opt for a simple baju kurung moden for all 3 ceremonies. Hey, less is more isn't it? ;)

My fiancee (ohh did I told you people that I got engaged?) got tired of me complaining a whole lot about my body so he asked me to list down 10 things I loathe about me and to read them out loud.

1. Gemoks - back to old figure of 54kg. Yikes!
2. Rabun - anyone has RM 8k to give out to charity? I look like a geek in glasses so I am in serious need of LASIK!
3. Botak - yep my hairline is receding tsk tsk!
4. Jongang - my teeth are 8mm overjet which has been confirmed by none other than a dental specialist merangkap bakal kakak ipar saya. Imagine your teeth being inspected by your future SIL only to find out that not only you need braces but drilling too for the holes on two of your molars. Talking about giving a good impression on your first meeting. Hmmm...
5. Ass the size of Africa - need explanation NOT!
6. Peha besar drumstick
7. Jari kaki yang pelik - sbb yg #2 lagi panjang dr yg lain so macam terkeluar gitu
8. Boroi
9. Pekak
10. ...

Can't remember the last one but I think I actually ended up with 11 instead of 10.
And you know what he said? "Ok sayang perfect 10! I take them all!"

;) ;) ;)

Anyway, earlier this morning while I was carrying my lunch box to the office which consists of a can of chicken soup, a ceramic bowl, a spoon and 2 apples; the paper bag decided to fail on me by ripping at the bottom. Had a little run of my life to catch those apples muehehe. I am a clumsy mumsy person yes I am but dear fiancee calls me cute instead! He he.

On a different note, I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to me yes ME! and a bunch of good friends who were born on this special month of October and have no idea about the existence of this blog he he.

To SS - Happy 28th birthday! Crossing my fingers for things to work out the way you want them to. Do take things one step at a time and prioritize your list. I know you can do it! Thank you for being such a good friend all these years and you know I'll always be here for you though we'll be thousands of miles apart! Stay ambitious, chic and positive!

To LP - Happy 27th Birthday! Stay happy and chirpy! Wishing for all good things to come your way. Wishing you all the best in your career and your new built up company. I know you'll make us proud! And thank you for being such a wonderful companion through out the whole duration. You've been awesome!

To PM - Happy 26th Birthday! Stay funny and sober! Let's hope Hotel Amalia's incident won't occur no more this time! Ha ha. That was good fun though. Wishing you too, all the best in terms of career and personal growth. I love the fact that you're so spontaneous and were able to crack jokes at almost anything! Just stay you!

To CM - Happy 31st birthday! Though not an October baby, I feel like it would be unjust to leave you out from the list. Stay Mr Nice Guy, ethical, honest, and all there is that made you YOU! You've been an inspiration and have taught me much about love and life. As always, I wish you all the best life has got to offer.

Have a nice week everyone!

Love text #1

Him:
"Boring wee la jalle soghe"

Me:
"Hmm me too boring soghe pahtu gemok cam badak lak tu don't even look nice in a white kebaya yep i am dooomed and you're gettin a fat ass wife! huwarghh tensen."

Him:
" Pade doh you're gettin an old cog, dark and none of a prince charming whatsoever ooo paghok. But with lots of love!


How can you not love the guy?

Bak kata meishi. Yep, I am in kuch kuch hota hai mode. Ha ha.

Love letter #1

" This could well be one of the love letters we talked about. It is going to be fractionally small, as then you would have to squint and hold it close to you. Closer to your heart, closer to your mind. I am about to wake you up in a few minutes time so that I can show what I am packing in, in a small package to you - the Quran (and its translation and commentaries), a pen, a pencil and a journal. I am not doing quite well in term of writing love letters, am I? Suffice to say perhaps, I fell asleep last night thinking of you, and woke up this morning wanting to call you. Therefore, it would be so much easier if only we went to bed together last night, then I would not have to start punching numbers or using the mouse - I would simply kiss you on your forehead, play with your hair, and whisper good morning gently in your ear. One day, not long from now. "

Love you always,
Mr X

But isn't he the sweetest? ;)

Beauty is only skin deep

So I got it all nicely layered - the Swiss roll on the bottom, followed by custard, then a can of mixed fruits, and finally the jelly to finish it off.

I even lined up some sliced peaches and made it into a flowery shape just so it'll look prettier.

But I burned the custard during preparation.

So you can imagine the look on everyone's faces when they first laid their eyes on it.

And the look on their faces when they actually tasted it.

Ha ha.

The same rule applies when it comes to people.

They may look pretty on the outside - well, if you can even call them pretty in the first place. But once you get to know them, it might be a whole different story.

Like I said, beauty is only skin deep.

I rest my case.

This one goes out to my precious

We only managed to shove half of it down our throat. Yep, that huge steamed siakap, chilly prawn and Chinese style fried veggie - all home cooked. Chef in action: RA, MJ and yours truly. Thank you very much.

Food indulgence is customary whenever MJ is back in town. The usual trio - MJ, MY and myself would wallop everything just like the piranhas. It boggles me sometimes how ecstatic we could get when it comes to food - yet the trash bin is our bestie, well, at least for me and MJ whenever we try to fix something up in the kitchen. Thank god things are looking more promising nowadays as compared to few years back. Te he he. We drove to MY's place later on to pick her up and made ourselves comfortable at Bangsar's Starbucks. Got myself an Americano, while MY treated herself in hot choc and MJ in passion tea to help with her sore throat.

Had a blast with my two girls, as usual. Sometimes it feels like these two are the few remaining sensible people left, at least in my world. Foxy on the outside (wink wink!), beautiful on the inside. I guess what brought us together is what we value in life. Many I've met are just plain empty. Many are after those that do not really matter. Some are vain, while some think they're better than the rest - when in truth they have nothing to offer. Some think being verbally honest is the way to go when all they do is hurt those that are dearest to them. Often I chose to ignore, but at times it gets to me and when that happens, I chose to be silent. I mean, why bother?

But I can bet you not these two. They're deep, genuine, and most importantly they've got substance and that my friend, makes them classy. They seek for the same qualities on the XY gene and that's what makes it so difficult for not many posses similar attributes. I say be patient, for exceptional people are hard to come by - not in terms of look, style, rides nor bank accounts, but in terms of characteristics, values and beliefs.

I wish both of them the best of luck in their journeys ahead. May it be a road worth traveled and may both of them find peace and self realization through it all. Been there, done that. It ain't gonna be easy, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. To MY - break a leg and do us proud - we know you'll ace it smart girl! To MJ - stay calm, step on it with two steady feet and I'm sure you'll do just fine ;)

Love you both! XOXO ;)

From top to bottom; our steamed siakap - what's with the horrific face mr fish?; chilly prawn and fried veggie - mind the mismatched dinnerware.

Happy Ramadhan 1430

I got a morning buzz from a cousin a couple of days back who mentioned that my life is marked in colors. According to cousin I've got too much of a good thing going on that I'd be a benchmark among our cousins and that got her worried. Ha ha.

I'd say yup my life has been marked in colors though not all have been magnificently bright - some were dim and definitely, some dark ones too. It has been a roller coaster ride like many others - but a good one though. Despite the disappointments and heartbreaks I'd say it has been a hell of a journey and I wouldn't have it any other way. As the saying goes, what does not break you, makes you stronger.

Funny that our life is always observed through rose-tinted glass not by you, but by another human being. It is you and only you who knows the actual picture and the details for each happening, you who feel the pain and sorrow of all that are thought to be glorified events in one's life from another person's perspective. Ain't the grass always greener on the other side? Nevertheless, I still have much to be thankful for.

So, thank you cousin for reminding me of how good life is treating me. Cousin once mentioned that every family is dysfunctional in their own kind of way and I guess it is true to a certain extent. Nevertheless I thank god for a wonderful set of parents who love me to bits despite my flaws (though I kept reminding mother than I am somewhat of a good kid so PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE get off my back and let me be - a cry out which of course were continuously ignored by her...tsk tsk!) Also, I am thankful for the many good friends that I have for you girls have rocked my world! Not forgetting you, yes YOU - you know who you are ;)

On another note, I would also like to wish everyone a very Happy Ramadhan. May this holy month brings the utmost peace and joy to all of us. God bless.
