:: Hair is Vanishing - HIV ::

When you start ageing and your hair is falling, that means you are infected by HIV. It's like a natural phenomenon that hits the majority of the population..

But fortunately for some guys, they look oh so good bald.. Not easy you know being bald aka botak licin.. You have to ensure you shave regularly so that it looks nice always and then you have to moisturise your head to keep your skin baby soft and not crumpled like tahu kering.. Just like our Mr daughtry here.. Okie I am crazy with his voice even when he is American Idol.. He became and instant hit even though he didn't win..



And don't you think he is sexy in his own right?? Masculine yet gentle, sexy yet edgy, rough yet cute.. Haiz... Daughtry...

So Darling Ayie, one day, you will also be infected with HIV but if you are gonna look that sexy dear, I wouldn't mind.. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I would look hot like demi moore if I am ever bald one day...



My final struggle before my exams..

As for now, I shall get back to my homework, books and be accompanied by my daughtry singing for me..



Time Check : 0147hrs

:: Current Mood - Lousy + Lost + Stress ::

I am in the midst of doing my final leg in Assignments mania. I took leave today and tomorrow to settle the homework and wedding preps. I need to get my measurements taken and buy that gift ayie is eyeing for, look for silver shoes that is easy on my pockets and then send the kain to Ayie's aunt in JB to get it tailored.

My friends say that they really seriously wonder how I actually cope with the irregular hours that I work, the classes that I attend, the homeworks and coming exams and the wedding preps..

I myself don't know either. I think I am so caught up in my school that I actually put the wedding at the back of my mind. I would only like do a bit here and there if I remember or when Ayie reminds me. He is busy himself. We are both in the same state.. He's luckier that his exams ends way earlier compared to mine.

Do you know that at times, when I sleep, I think about the essays that I am supposed to write, what I left out for the wedding preps and which website should I search for honeymoon options. We have even yet to decide we wanna go honeymoon-ing.

I think I am super stress but it's just that I act that I'm alright. I just like tell myself, things would fall into place. But when I cannot take it, Ayie will be my sponge.. He absorbs everything that comes out from my mouth. My every single frustration. Sometimes I really don't know how he can keep his cool.

As for my parents.. They very funny. There are gonna be a shortage of weddings cards as they start writing and distributing them. Thanks to some help from the peeps at Multiply that I found some place where I can get ready made cards.. My mom was nagging at my dad who wants to invite his colleagues and he invite so many that he using a lot of cards and it won't be enough for her to invite her friends and family friends.. Then my dad said you invite so many friends can then I cannot.. Then they were arguing on who should just use the photocopied cards..

So finally my dad relented and said he would get a new list and maybe the number of people would be reduced.. So two days ago, he brings the new list and the people is indeed lesser, but yesterday he was back with two more list coz he forgets some.. Haha.. My mom goes nagging again and he said okie, any more list and he would use the photocopied cards... Lucky I clever, I kop the cards that I want before I am free next week to start mailing them out...

Haiz.. My parents funny lah..

Now I am looking around the place where I am sitting and it is strewn with books.. Six books in total. I read all the chapters needed for this homework, highlighted and all but now that I am sitting down, I forget where is the part that I needed, in which book.

On another note, I am excited to go out Raya with bal, ayid and anwar this saturday. We would be going to each other's house including arwah's. I hope Ayie don't have to work lah so I can go with him.. I am also psycho-ing wan to join us.. Macam dulu dulu lah.. The four of us.. Bal would be bringing his gf and I am actually excited lah.. I've not met her but from her blogs and all, I think she is a nice gal lah.. Maybe she's the One.. I told bal when we go his house, I'll paoto him..

I am thinking of getting Cik Ru a gift. Perhaps a brooch or something. I saw some nice ones at Xcessorize.. COnsidering considering.

Lecture tonight, the last for Social Psyc and this fri, last for abnormal psyc.. I just can't wait for all this to be over..

I think by the end of the wedding, when we go honeymoon, I would be happy to just sleep everyday, away from all the chaos..

:: Craving to blog ::

I just have to blog eventhough I am in the midst of doing my ab psyc TMA now which is due on Monday. Have to release tension lah.. I have another one queueing which is due on Wednesday. That's my social psyc TMA and the last TMA for this semester before the exams starts knocking on my door.

I was doing my TMA, one sentence and then Assalamualaikum... I off the lappy and serve the guests, then on the lappy again when the guests went home.. Another sentence before another assalamualaikum.. I gave up...

I think I'm gonna take leave on Tuesday, my own leave that is and unrecorded leave on Wednesday so that I can somehow do and do my TMA non stop so that I'll finish by Wed morning. Ayie and I would be going to the bridal to have our measurements taken.. Then we still have to look for my silver shoes and one more hantaran gift that I promised him before we are settled for the hantaran part..

Oh, I got my corset. I was so in love with this wacoal corset that is lacy and sweet but when I wear my top over, the top of the corset is very very visible lah.. The auntie first ask me to try.. So I masok changing room then tried to try but after 5 mins, I was sweating.. How to hook the corset when the hook is at the back.. I cannot reach.. I gave up, open the door covering my front to avoid any indecent exposure and called the aunty. She help me..

But I didn't buy that $117 corset. I tried this Sorella corset which is also comfortable and cost me many fraction of the cost. I then settled for the $29.90 corset. I am happy, my pocket also happy.. I even manage to buy a tummy and thigh control pants.. Cheap Cheap..

Went out for Ayie's colleague open house and we were both deck in red.. My darling look so nice in his samping and baju melayu and songkok.. Lawa lah dier.. Oh he say I also lawa.. hahah.. We only went to one place and then went home. Ayie going out with his family while I have many many guest at home..

I gave Nur her cookies oredi.. She say very nice.. really nice or you nak buat I happy jer eh.. kekekke.. Anyhow, I am happy you like them.. Ghafur told her I lost so much weight.. Some of my colleagues taught I lost weight because I am sick.. Apalah.. Where got sick.. Happy jerr.. So now left with Yati's Kit Kat Cookies which is still in my fridge and Su's cornflake crunchies..

Wah, now already one plus.. I shall stop and continue with my TMA. Besok Cik Su datang leh mintak urut... Hulur badanku yang penat bangat..

:: A Splendid Lebaran ::

Wah so fast and it's like the 4th day of Syawal already and I am so sad that unlike many other Muslims who is on long long leave, I was back at work on Monday.. Monday afternoon to be exact.. I sms my boss and told him that I am super duper tired, can I take half day leave.. He said sure but make sure you bring some kuehs tomorrow..

My boss confirm good mood.. I didn't apply for leave though.. I eksen lupa.. kekekek..

Anyway, First day of Lebaran, everybody was gathered at my place.. My whole house was packed, from the kitchen to the rooms.. Except by parent's room where there was no access, Ain's room and mine were spilling with people. I couldn't even hear myself as it was super chaotic..

Menu for the day was Mee gorang, Mee/Bihun soto, Bone Steak, Fried tumeric prawns and of coz all the many many cookies and crackers.. The whole table filled with them..





Taken from different angles with my cannot make it phone camera..

Then inside my room, we the self declared cuzzins inc took photo...



This is only part of the cuzzins inc.. The rest were outside eating and Hafiz was off to the cake shop to buy candles..





This is zayed.. Tahir's son.. Tahir and Sumayah is Kak Linda and Abg Iman's fren.. They are from Yemen and this is the second time they celebrate raya with us.. The baby boy was so cute and so easy.. he just sleep only.. 4 months old.. So geram... They are a very nice couple..

Lebaran is extra special since we celebrated my Dad's and Cik Su's Birthday..



My dad is 50 years old.. We were all disturbing him saying that he is half a decade old instead.. Kekkeke..



Cik Su is 41 on this day..

To both my dad and Cik Su.. I wish you good health and fortune, to be blessed in all your actions and may your life be filled with lots of love...



The Moist Chocolate Cake from Secret Recipe which I keep forgetting to eat till now..



Cik Su and her gifts of two brooches..



My dad kena sabo..

Oh my dad receive present too.. A cool ex one..



Fishing Reel - More than 700 bucks..
Father smiling from ear ear to ear all day - Priceless...

You should have seen his face when he hold the gift and said.. Nie macam drum nie,.... And keep on tersengih like kerang busok..



The reel or drum or whatever it is called.. It's a beauty..

My father kan.. He always say, birthday tak main.. But when his birthday, get present he would amik jer.. He say Rezeki jangan ditolak.. Musoh jgn dicarik.. Wah peribahasa nampak ye..




My dad and Cik Su cuts the cake..





Kanak Kanak Riang makan kek birthday..

I actually made cheesecake but since my cheesecake looks burok, I don't dare serve them





But those who ate said it was delicious...

We then had the minta maaf session and my Poteman nakal tau..




He followed behind everybody offering them tissue.. Makomlah byk waterfall..




Me in my purple kurung and gorgeous brooch from Xcessorize.. I gave my aunties and KaK LInda the brooches that I got from Irah and they all said it looks so nice.. Thanks so much Irah..

Anyway, after the chaos at my house, we went to Mokde's place, Pak Ngah's place, Pak Itam's place and then finally BiBik's place..

At Bibik's place we got project... Kat dalam bilik yana.. Dah macam opium den..

Pics uploaded later..

So we finally wrap up with Uncle Dollah coming over to my place..

When we were out going from one place to another, I feel like our whole family looks like PInky and the Brain, trying to take over the world.. You'll see clusters of us here and there waiting for taxis...

I think maybe next year, Ayie and I would ballot for the co-op van.. So if we both get the van, insyallah, then we can zip around Singapore in the Co-op van.. If we both get it then each of us can drive one.. then that way my aunties and uncles would not waste money taking a cab.. And Uncle Dollah even charter a can.. Kesian tau.. $30 an hour...

Second day of lebaran and we were all shag but we still drag ourselves out at 3pm to visit relatives..





Hafiz all decked out from head to toe.. My uncles said he looks like a Sriwana dancer..

First was my next door neighbour's place..

Then we went to my mom's fren place in Woodlands, Nek Jan's place at Farrer Road then Nek Ru's place at Toa Payoh where four of my uncle and aunties family were there and coincidently we were dress in blue.. The majority that is.. dah boria lagi..

After that, it's Uncle Dollah Place at Jurong West



Me at uncle Dollah place.. Pic terbalik like me also..

then Nek Jamaliah's place at Marsiling Blk 37 and Tok Bujer place at Blk 214. Then since same block with Ayie, the whole clan came over to his place leaving him shocked..

Dear tu baru skit.. If the whole clan is around.. Confirm Kecoh..

Then after Ayie's place we went to Poteman place and relek relek... Someone left me so pissed.. Argh.. Boo Hoo Hoo to you.. Shall not elaborate since ader kang controversy kan lagi..

As I don't have any camera, I am waiting for Abg Iman and his cool paparazzi shots plus Shafiqah, Uncle dollah's dotter to show me some mercy and send me the pics... so for more of my splendid, chaotic and happening raya pics.. Please wait..

I need a camera badly.. Uwek.. Somebody get me a camera... Uwek (acting like a spoiled brat)

Then yesterday, Ayie was on leave.. He is on leave till today.. So he fetch me after work and we went JB.

Had dinner at Stulang. We had steam fish, sotong sambal, telor bungkos, Kailan ikan masin, tomyam soup and plain rice.. Ayie ate so much.. He wants to put on all the weight he lost during fasting month..

We had shissha and then off we went.. On our way back... We stop at Shell as I need to pee and Ayie suddenly interested to get the bike washed..



They splash water



Soap the bike till



It looks frosty.. I like this one..



Wipe off the soap.. Then they splash more water



I sat one corner bored.. They said it was 25 mins only.. Then end up one hour lah..



Polish and Wax..



While Ayie is very happy with his bike kene raba raba.. Virgin wash.. By external parties I mean.. Rm 35



And the bike came out sparkling, shiny and nice.. And very nice to hold tau.. Smooth...

So now that I am in office wasting my time away.. Got to start with my reading in a while.. Ayie promised to fetch me later after class and I have started distributing my wedding invites to my colleagues.. Like shy lah wanna pass them the invites.. kekeke

Okielah.. I think I blog very the long oredi.. Adioz all..

:: Mac (NO)Delivery ::


We ordered MacDonald's breakfast for sahur. Not only for ourselves but also for our two immediate neighbour's children..

But the delivery that was supposed to come at 4.15am didn't turn up and the manager who was supposed to get back to me have yet to give me any calls till now... This very moment.

I am seriously pissed. The young kids must be anticipating their MacDonald's breakfast. The bagels omellete and big breakfast and hotcakes sets that make up 12 breakfast sets and ala carte.

I was also disappointed because we couldn't keep up to our promise to them and their parents must have scrambled to prepare sahur at just 20 mins to Azan Subuh.


MacDonald's, being an established food provider, I think it is unthinkable that you are rendering such services and your failure to keep up to your promise is not due to any lack of manpower as my bro's fren who ordered at 3am got their order so it is due to your irresponsibility and incompetency. We ordered way in advance, at 12 plus am..

I am still waiting for their reply to my email or a call from them..

So now it's lebaran.. While we were breaking fast, Ain said that this is my last Lebaran as single mingle..

Yalah.. I am sure that the experience would be so much different next year.. But how different that is, I wouldn't know until I go through it.. So we shall talk about it when we go through it..

As for now, we are done with the cleaning of rooms. Easy job since we did it in less than 1/2 an hour. Ain did one room and I did another. Hafiz clean the living room a bit and we shall continue when he gets back from the kenduri. Mom busy in the kitchen since everybody will be gathering at my place before we go jalan jalan to other people's place... If only I have a camera and I am able to capture all this moments..

Oh there will be no lontong or ketupat and rendang and lodeh at my place. It's mee goreng and bonesteak and fried tumeric prawns and mee goreng and fried chicken wings and some other unconventional raya food. My mom said that if would be boring to eat that since we would be having that at the other houses. So every year, you won't be seeing all the ketupats hanging around..

Ain and I still have some baking to do.. It's for Cik Su.. Tomorrow is her birthday along with my dad so we are having a surprise celebration of sort.. Oh Anum birthday too.... Happy Birthday gal..

The kuihs are all ready.. gave to Ayie last night and his mom likes it.. So left with Yati and Nur's share only..

Now we all relek relek.. Irah and Raihan are done with their ritual bunga api..



See busy playing outside..



Pose kids..



Ask to play with the sparklers and they play with fire..

Now just waiting for my bro to come home with my brooches that I bought from Irah.. To be given to my aunty tomorrow and I am just hoping that Ain and my project works..



I've started sms close friends for their addresses so that I can mail my wedding card to them.. Most have replied.. To those who have not.. Please drop me an sms at 91010759...

Apart from all that, there is nothing much to be done, working half day tomorrow and then classes at night..

Oh, to Ayid.. don't be sad okie..

Okie today, I am really not in the mood to blog... So just wanna wish all of you a Happy Lebaran.. Kalau ader salah dan silap.. Maafkan.. Terkasar bahasa ker, menyakit kan hati ker bila kiter blog nie.. Dan finally, moga semua sambut lebaran dengan keluarga dan sahabat handai yang tersayang..

:: I feel Like Argh ::

I did a seriously stooooopid thing.. Ayie bought me 9 packets of envelopes and 3 packets for himself and we got one free and I actually left it by the kerb when we were eating that barely cooked honey chicken. A total of 13 packets of envelopes which equals to 260 envelopes.

Stupid kan.. I feel so stupid and careless and whatever word that I could use to describe my brainless act.

Haiz.. I am close to tears....

Sheer moronic act...

I need a knock on my head..

:: Final Kickoff ::

It was a kick off that was really kicked off. Oh.. You don't get what I mean.. Nvm, Wanna know, read on...

I started with my last kuih which is rose tart on Sunday morning... After the adjournment from JB.. So goT my mom to buy the icing sugar and corn flour and started right away when she reach home at about 2.30pm.

I wanted to finish asap since Ayie wanted me to meet him at 5.30pm. Su and Bean coming to fetch us.. We would take the car.. Yippee..

So it turn out alright..




See nice right?? It's Rose tart...


Till it goes into the oven and came out like this..



Aiyoyoyo...




I tried changing pattern.. So just make a simple flower and



It turned out like this...



So feeling frustrated.. I dump them all.. Those ugly creatures..

Argh... So I am not doing any Choc Chip Kit Kat and rose tarts ever... I shall bake my second batch of Cornflakes Crunchies due to hot demand..

So Bean pick us up at about 5.45pm and she has got a new toy.. Argh I envy you.. It's Ixus 850IS.. Shiok lah.. So I no malu, cam whore also using her camera.. Wakakaka..

We had our buffet dinner at Geylang again.. Same Place..

This iftar is for Bean and Su and Amir and Hetty who couldn't join us last iftar..



Us after filling up our tummy..

Then we went off to Arab Street... It was way too noisy lah at Geylang.. The radio was so loud that we couldn't even hear ourselves.. Amir initially didn't wanna go coz he's meeting his other friends but Hetty coax him... So he went lah..

Off to El Sheikh..



Ayie manja manja with Cik Bidin..



The gals.. We all love Shissha.. Definitely..



The guys goofing around..



And then it's off home..

Oh it was fun lah.. Chit Chatting and all.. Sebab the last time Amir was with us was last year iftar... If you wanna see more pics.. Just :: Click Here ::



Anyway.. I am on course today.. Sleep inducing course.. wakaka.. I felt asleep so many times.. The Trainer DSP Gopal asked me.. Rose you tired ah?? I said yalah sir.. I not enough sleep.. He said how come.. I said i jet lag.. He was surprised and asked me where I went.. I said nolah... Just joking.. kekekek.. I think that course will cure my insomnia like anytime lor..

And then yesterday there was an accident at my place.. Bad Bad accident. A trailer with 4 cars I think.. I was too sleepy when my mom and bro was telling me the story.. even when Ayie was telling me bout it I said I wanna sleep.. I dowan to listen.. Attitude when I'm super sleepy..

Anyway, there's a traffic jam at the checkpoint.. The bus that I was in, Service 170 had to reverse for like more than 100m just to make a U turn.. Then there was this aunty who went up to the driver and ask, why u reverse ah.. The uncle said, jam, u donno ah.. (Which I said to myself.. Obviously lah aunty.. You think he wants to practice his reversing skills ker ) So the aunty not happy lah.. She said he was rude to her.. She call police lah.. Alamak... No wonder police busy lah..

In my opinion, he wasn't that very rude to warrant a complain.. She even accused him of purposely jam brake to make her fall.. Aiyo auntie get a life..

I think he is nice enough to reverse so that all of would not get into the jam and then get delayed..

Okie me out now.. Nak gie Geylang.. My darling fetching at about now.. So I better siap... Oh no.. He's oredi downstairs.. Opppss...

:: Feeling Young Gitu ::

I met Ayie yesterday coz his truly wanted to eat Ayam percik and murtabak at the Stadium Larkin Bazaar.

I even manage to squeeze in a massage lah. All the baking left me with a terrible and aching shoulder..

So after massage, I had a bathe and a peep into my drawer, I saw this pants I bought from Chase like more than two years ago but have never been worn since I cannot muat.. So I hold my breath and slip into the pants.. Tadaaa.. Muat lah..

Yabada badooo...

So bergayalah ngan my new pants and new top..

When I met Ayie he said asal pakai seluar tapered.. Aiyo not tapered dear.. Tapered are those pants that budak heran tak heran once upon a time wore... Mine is ladies pants..

He said I look so young in that ensemble.. Anyway, for the sacrifice of my craving we went into JB in the pouring rain.. Decked in our rain coats, we brave the rain for half an hour to queue in the long jam at check point..

We rush to stadium Larkin but most shops are already closed as it was already time for buka lah..

We got Ayam percik but not the ones that I wanted.. Takperlah... At least Ayie took the trouble to get me there.. And we bought cendol and donuts and lemang..

Buka at his aunty place somewhere near Taman Perling.. Wah the house was super far and the place so dark.. Ayie said that the apartment where his aunt stays have a high number of colourful characters.. Seram chek.. We canvas our bike and even when I am upstairs, My mind was beside the bike.. LoL. Seram lah..

We quickly scurried away once Ayie fix her gate and off we went to Singgah Selalu.. I wanted to eat Murtabak...

But the murtabak no good. The meat was like off lah.. Then Ayie complained that his stomach felt bad.. He went to the toilet and came back. He puked..

A while later I went to the toilet and I puke..

I was so so close to losing my handphone tau.. I left it on top of the toilet roll holder when I was puking and only realise it's there when I was back at my seat..

Alhamdullilah the phone was still there..I was like praying outside the cubicle which was occupied waiting for the person to come out... Seram seram..

I wanted to bake my rose tarts last night after coming back but couldn't. No cornflour... Ain and Hafiz said the Cornflakes crunchies very nice.. There's only half a bottle left so maybe I'll bake some more..

I woke up for sahur with a throbbing headache.., Had a glass of milk and down my painkillers..

Now I am waiting for my mom to come home with my icing sugar and cornflour.. Mana mak ye..

The weather is cold and my sinus is bad..

:: Round Three and Four ::

Wah I am seriously on the roll here.. I did both my Choc Chip Kit Kat and Cornflakes Crunchies consecutively early this morning..

Kick start with my Choc Chip Kit Kat.. I did one batch and tasted them... Alamak sedap lah.. So bedal with the second batch lak..

That was only the cookies part..

The weather was so hot my Kit Kat melt. I put them in the freezer and took them out an hour later. Only a few minutes on the table while I cut them up into small pieces and they are all sticky..

So that explains how hot it is..

I chocolate-glue the Kit Kat bits on the cookies then pipe chocolate on them.. I was super goondoo lah.. I go and melt unsweetened baking chocolate so I terperanjat berok when I tasted it. tak sedap to the max.. I add lots and lots of sugar and butter since the chocolate thickened with that tremendous amount of sugar..

Initially the piping part was tough but after getting the hang of it.. Best pulak..



The Choc Chip Kit Kat cookies..



That is all I got after the hard work.. And I will never, ever make this cookies ever again.. Serious..

The weather is so hot, the chocolate melt even after it sets.. I take it out from the fridge to arrange them in the box and tadaaa, melting.. Argh... Geram..

So next time no more.. The cookies part is fine since the cookie were crunchy but minus the kit kat and chocolate piping..

And since I am already in a mess. And the kitchen is also in a mess and I do not wish to clean the Kitchen twice today.. I go ahead with My Cornflakes Crunchies..

It was simple to do.. I added lots of mix fruits and crushed cornflakes. I wanna pack it with nutrients lah.. Value added service tau...



My cornflakes crunchies cooling. Irah tasted and she said sedap ah Kak Mar.. Crispy..

She then helped me for like a short 15 mins.. Loading, unloading the trays into the ovens then transfering to the cooling tray before arranging them into the bottle..

The next thing I knew, she was sprawling on the floor..



Kesian.. Penat dier kerja keras.. eh Irah..



My bottle of Cornflakes Crunchies..

Yay.. I've made four cookies... Alhamdullilah.. Now only left with my Rose Tarts which I might do tomorrow. Any no yay to me coz my shoulder are so stiff and tired.. I need to rub myself with Tiger Balm Neck and Shoulder Rub.. Instant Relief.. Not that Instant lah.. Temporary Shiokness only

And Su, you'll get the honey cornflakes you ordered coz I got rave reviews for it.. Oh and we had iftar at Jalan Kayu with Ayie's touring friends.. Photos would be uploaded once Jenn pass them to me..

For now, I am just wondering how I am going to adjust my bed time back to normal... I'm way hay wired..



Now that I am all clean and fresh and rid off cookies smell, I shall hit the sack..

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
