Fuiyo..that was a long break from blogging. I’ve been blogging, mentally, everyday but couldn’t find the time to actually blog. Let’s see…

On Perdana and Penyamun.

Bang De’s Ratu Salun was robbed in broad daylight last Saturday. He, along with his 3 staff and 2 other customers were held at a knife-point. They were tide and locked in the facial room. Valuables such as gold chain, watch, mobile phones and cash were swiped clean. A singer’s boyfriend, who is also a customer, was wounded while trying to protect the singer.  The 3 penyamun fled with Bang De’s Perdana.

On Modblog Gathering, DEC18th

Errr…modblog who??

Najwa’s (and Ibu’s) new toy

 When I was a kid, my toys were green soldiers and those manga paper dolls  that you get to hang their clothes on the shoulders.  I remember building houses, bed and kitchen for the dolls using pieces of unwanted cloths that was lying around Mak’s sewing machine. So yeah… I’ve always wanted a doll house.

So when Teacher Shabra told us that Najwa got first place in her class, the most reasonable thing to do (according to me) apart from hugs and kisses, of course, is to get her a doll house!  Heheheh Ibu gets to play along too.

 We got her a Barbie Pop-up Family Fun. Before any of you judging us thinking that we are spending lavishly, please stop, THAT was the cheapest in the store, okay?

 Only thing is, it was after we reached home we discovered that Barbie is actually …pregnant! And she is carrying a BABY..inside her belly…inside her DETACHEABLE belly!  While in her womb, the baby is in foetal position with his head engaged. Patut la nama dia Pop-Up Family.

I think Mattel is waaaaay too creative on this one.

The next day when I reached home, Barbie’s belly is somewhere between Naim’s truck and towed cars. ishh.

On Ear-squat 

Now i know what they called ketuk-ketampi in English

Family Day 2005

I have a common name. Yes. Its so common that each year, without fail there will be another 'Me' in my class. I guess back in the mid 70s, that name is as fofular as 'Danial' or 'Aiman' now.

I am officially 30 years old. Am I happy? Yes, Sir. I am married, with 2 kids, good job, a place I called home and slowly recovering from financial woes. Oh and 1 more thing, I’ve got my first customer and already on the process of closing another deal, Insya Allah. Pray for me, aye. At the age of 30, I must say that I’ve got everything I could ever wish. A tiny minor small shortcoming on targeted number of kids though but what the heck, we can’t have it all, right PLUS we can always revise our plan.

Pre-birthday

 1.  Friday, 16DEC05. While trying to make next facial appointment; 

Luminous-gred A-skin-lady behind the counter in a small town: Like you ah miss, must do 2 weeks once ya know.

Me: (Ooo…chronic sungguh masalah gue ni)

2.  Sunday, 18DEC05. While playing with 2 year old twin nieces; 

One of my mom’s sister who loves chocolate and not kedekut to share: Ko nak anak lagi ke, Na? Kita kalau dah berumur nak beranak kecik lagi penat tau.

Me : Kita???

On my birthday. Monday, 19DEC05. 

1.     While struggling to put on my favourite jeans.  Notice the word struggling? You know what, the jeans didn’t fit. Tak muat! The last time I wore it was about a week ago. The button finally gave up on my bulging tummy. Oh no! Tummy Trim where are you?

2.     At JPN, going with the flow. I thought I want to be different by not changing to MyKad. It’s not really a choice for me to make, huh? Anyway, after the third try, the registration officer (I’m assuming he’s an officer) said the reader could not read my right thumb.

The Officer: Tangan akak memang kedut ke?

Me : Huh?

The Officer: Tangan akak memang kedut ke?

Me : (Nak kene penampar mamat ni) Tak la. Kene sabun jadi cam ni la.

The Officer: Ooo, akak tak bley basuh pinggan la ye.

3.     Few minutes before 1pm, Firhad and the kids came to my office with a surprise birthday cake. Alahai… sayangnya!

Is there a checklist for us newly thirtay? No? Well, I think we should have one. We girls must share stuff, ya know. Remember Lynette of Desperate Housewives? So these are my list, for now:

1. More vitamins. I have been neglecting EPO for some time. Must take something for the memory also. Nobody wants a nyanyuk rotidua. How’s Imedeen?

1. Must E X E R C I SE.  (Can be substituted with new OSIM belt buster or something like that. Now on promotion at RM599. Hahahah)

 

1. Stop going to ebay.com.my, woman!

 

1. Get something for those fine wrinkles below both eyes.

 

1. Anita Sarawak says, don’t forget to moisturise.

 

1. Botox anyone? Hahahah (or something to that effect, from Jakarta?)

I must go now. Have a presentation at Guoman, PD Resort this afternoon. Will be back tomorrow.

You take care. You know who YOU are, mister! hihihihih

12.   Cik Na (through email): Abang telefon la Najwa kat rumah.

        Imran Haikal, nephew (in his reply): Nanti Mommy kiter marah.

 

13.   Najwa: Ibu, hari ni school van tu tak sampai-sampai. Lama Kakak tunggu. (oppss, ibu tak tau sekolah cuti seminggu!)

 

14.   Saidi: Beb, bila nak beli tiket Peter Pan?
