:: Nani's Catering ::

I am seriously contemplating if I should go ahead and open a Multiply Account for my mom's catering services.

My mom started cooking for weddings since 1999 and we have never had any kind of advertisements or whatsoever. Any referrals would be through word of mouth. We only started doing namecards like two years ago coz a lot of customers suggest that it is better with namecards.. Now that the namecards are running out, I have to go prepare more..

So what do you think?? Nak buat ker taknak eh.. Skang nie kan dah zaman technology, zaman IT abis kesian bisnes mak aku nie masih cara ol skool.. Tulis dalam planner jer, pastu kalau dalam planner tu, dier sorang yang paham.. Macam doktor lah..

So maybe this weekend or during the CNY holidays while hubby is busy fishing with my dad, I shall bring up this idea..

Yok Mak.. Kiter menuju ke arah KBE....

Btw, I ate 3 spoonfuls of peanut butter.. Macam mana nak kurus nie.. Asyik makan jer.. Atau i might as well ikot Jenn's advise, makan jer dulu lepas dah branak baru work hard to lose weight.. Kalau gitu apa lagi, bedal jer lah...

:: Slacking ::

I am like always tired nowadays.. Lack of sleep.. And rest.. Still adapting to my new life in another place... Sometimes I feel like giving up but when I look at Ayie and how well he treats me, it kinda soothe and heal whatever pain I have..

One year ago on this day, I was engaged to Ayie. In a super small ceremony and we were engaged for ten months only as we got married in Nov. 2 months and 5 days to be exact. It is really fast kan.. I tak ingat pon pasal nari until Ayie asked me last night.. Yang you ingat tak 28 January hari apa.. I kan say birthday bean eh.. But birthday bean kan 29th.. Then he goes, you tak ingat eh kiter tunang 28 Jan last year.. Opps... My memory is failing me..

Looking back at the days I and Ayie just got to know each other, how we like hang out and how in the end we become husband and wife is really amazing lah.. Till now, if anybody were to ask why I go out with Ayie, I really don't know. It just happen that on the day he asked me out which was on the 2 May 05, I was free and had nothing to do. So go out lah.. And just happen that of the many many guys that asked me out, I only decide to go out with Ayie. It's fate lah kan.. One thing leads to another. We stay so close to each other and yet we have never bump into each other before.

Oh enough about me, my squadmate Sudirman got married yesterday. I was uber happy for him. He as a pengantin is very slack.. LoL.. He just relax jer... And my mom was the caterer for his wedding. The food really power.. Not because I nak puji my mother but her dishes yesterday was really tasty. My mom knew it was true because kalau tak sedap I would tell her tau. Very frank. There was once the pulot hitam hangit.. I nyer hidong very sensitive so when I top up the bubor, I can smell it. I told her bout it and we end up throwing the whole pot. Buat baru punya.. Quality is important lah.. I have yet to get my mom's namecard done. Dah nak abis lah..

So yesterday was gerek. Ayie also help out. He and Hafiz man the drinks station. We call it the Abang Body drinks station.. LoL.. Both of them kan macam muscular gitu.. Laku air chin ciao, iced water, tea and coffee dorang...

Dah balik sempat kiter sumer posing skit..



The three bikers and a poser... Nampak sangat lah yang poser tu aku.. Kekekke.. Anak keladi..Ain got her licence last week and is bugging my dad to buy a bike.. Ayie tak kasi i amik lesen motor... So tak fair... Chet.. Takder confident langsong that I can be a good and cautious rider..

Actually ader lagi lah citer nak bual.. But since dah rasa malas.. Nak tido lah kejap eh.. Bukan slalu dapat tido time weekday..

Kalau bangun, rasa tak malas i sambung lagi lah..

:: Busy + Clumsy = Me :;

I am expecting a packed-like-sardines year for me.. The timetable is out. Classes are twice a week on an even week and three times a week on an odd week. So is Mon and Fri for this week followed by Mon, Thurs and Fri on another. Alahai...

My classes kick off on the 31 Jan which is like next week. Cepat nyer.. After that would be assignments and assignments. I am happy though that Zann is in the same class as me for two subjects. I have a boring but gerek tutor who gives me high marks last year for my abnormal psychology teaching me Cognitive this year.

My books are still in a box and I have to somehow trash some of Ayie's mags on the racks to make way for my books.. Boleh eh dear... I really need the space.. You kan suami yang baik.. Chey chey chey...

Oh. I am like super selenge lah today.. I wanted to apply for my JOM membership kad.. And I click on reply to all.. Serious tau, I really tot I choose the reply tab but tah macam mana leh salah.. Now so many ppl suan me.. My koligs all laugh at me and best skali my IT Nanny email to everybody about the difference bet 'Reply' and "Reply to all". Chet... Even my Head in HQ email me to disturb me..

Macih ye to all who disturb me.. At least today I am very entertained by you guys..

Haiz... Now I am waiting for Ayie in office.. He's coming to fetch me.. I am so sleepy.. We watch Orang Minyak last night and it is so so boring... Lame seh citer tu.. The hero for the movie is the same guy who acted in Kasih Tania.. This super funny kambing movie that I saw in Genting which is shown over at RTM 1..

Okielah. I shall carry on chatting with ma friends using emails.. If only I have MSN..

If only...........

:: New Kid On The Block ::

Oh we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the arrival of our latest indulgence..



Awwww.. Suweeet.... The bad guys at Courts screw up big time and we had to wait for like three weeks for our baby to come...

I would seriously think twice if I am ever gonna buy anything at Courts... They are really terrible.. Really really..

So now we shall just wait till the guys from Panasonic come over to get it mounted and we would be able to enjoy tonight's match in the comfort of our room and bed...

I think we will O-wa-bi-a-som to see which match to watch as Arsenal and Man U are both playing at the same time.. I hope Arsenal lose.. (*evil laughter*)

Anyway, mommy's home.. I wanna upload the pics up in Multiply but alamak the file is so so big that I think I shall just crash the idea at the moment and wait till my I-feel-like-uploading mood is back..

It was partly my fault for the slow uploading as I set the cam to the highest resolution resulting to big files..

Anyway... She brought back lots and lots of chocolate for all of us in Singapore to eat and get fat..



My dad is snacking on the Kit Kat like nobody's business and I might end up with a daddy who looks like Santa Claus if he fail to stop..

My mom somehow got a new pet..

Mr Unta.. Now blink those lashes..



See how happy she is with Mr Unta...



But happiness shortlived when Mr Unta decide that they should go for a walk... Sitting is no fun...



Oh Mr Unta, please don't do this to me... Me scared...



Okie we just sit and take photo okie...

Now I think we shouldn't take Mr Unta back home... He's way to scary and huge to handle..

There was a feast back at home with plentiful of food to celebrate mommy's return...



Cik Fadillah, Cik Ani Haron and Cik Ani Said gave the food and Ayie came with a big ball of a watermelon... Besar giler lah..

Ayie did the reciting of prayers to thank Allah on the safe return of my mom and Pak Itam.. My mom said that she's so proud of her son in law ... Wah, I think Ayie is scoring more points each day..

Mom is looking haggard unfortunately, I think it is due to the fatigue.. What she needs now is rest... Rest is beauty's anecdote..

Oh the books are delivered this morning.. I seriously forget that I had it delivered here instead of my parent's place. Books is reminder that school is starting soon..

I would be doing my dissertation.. A project work is in store. I am still unsure if it is a solo or group one. I would definitely prefer the former as I would be able to choose a topic that I like and do it at my own pace.. I have been doing well in my past projects.. Alhamdullilah. So I hope I would do well again this year for good grades..

MIL is cooking chicken curry back in the kitchen.. The cats are still around and I am hiding in my safe and secure recluse...

Once the TV is up, we shall go to IKEA to get the two laundry bins. One for whites and the other for coloured. Then we need a side table that is big enough to store all my harta karun that is still back at home... A table lamp with orange light to lit up our room and finally hang up our wedding photo frame...Best Best, seriously can't wait for the whole complete look.. It would take time but I am sure we would both be so happy with the end results kan..

I always love decorating and I cannot imagine when one day we have our own crib.. I would have a whale of a time.. But I have to wait nong nong lor...

My dearie is busy at the moment. He shifted the trophy racks to another place to make way for the TV.

I shall now just surf around looking for ideas to give my room a feminine touch.. The room is to guy-ish with the helmets and trophies.. Tak fair..

:: Mommy's coming home ::

While I am typing this blog, I am also having an online chatting session with my youngest sister, Irah.. Coupled with webcam and we chat using the mic instead of the usual typing. So funny lah..

Irah has this thick fever patch on her forehead. She is having fever.. Cian si budak tembam.. Demam tapi suh belikan McSpicy tok dier..

Anyway tomorrow my mom will be coming from her Haj. She will be at Changi Airport by 12.30pm and we will all be going to the Airport to welcome her.

My uncle, Pak Itam came back yesterday and we went over to his place to welcome him home and feast on Kurma, pistachios and nougats.. I thought the nougats was from Saudi but it was actually from Singapore Airport. Chet, I thought it was from Saudi like it is so in hor.. There is also white chocs which was like so rich and oily.. Poteman said it is like eating ghee.. My dad said buat ngan susu unta agaknyer..

So he gave me pic of him with my mom..



And last wednesday, I went out with Sinah and Lihua.. It was like go out do nothing and yet I have a ball of a time..



Us in the bus.. Sinah was like Rose stop taking pics but she kept on posing and smiling...

They even send me home.. Sweet kan my angels nie..



I don't know what we are trying to do here... Under my void deck..

And more here.. There's more in Lihua cam and my ILs would really wonder how they end up letting their son or bro marry me.. Too late to regret... LoL..

Su gave us some lemon tea from Cameron last night on our trip to JB.. Sedap you teh tu.. Rugi tau tak dapat rasa...

We went to Shaziran 1st birthday at Costa Sands and won 5th and 8th prize.. I got a teapot while Ayie got toiletries bag... I shall ask Su and Bean what they won..

Meeting Wan later and I nak tido dulu.. Jgn marah... Smalam balik dah kul 3+, tgk Man U thrash Newcastle jer dah sampai kul brapa.. Then tgh highlights lagi.. Tido dah 4.30 pagi.. So skang ku ngantok dong..

Selamat Malam..

:: Reality Bites ::

There are some things that is bothering me actually but I seriously cannot say it here and it is only meant for people very close to me.. However it is really bothering me so much that sometimes I feel so stressed and depressed that my head feels like it's in a pressure cooker.. All compressed..

I am not sure exactly how long this is gonna take or if it will ever end and I really hope Allah answer my prayers...

I think that is why they say reality bites and as such reality hurts..

It rained last night when I was about to go to bed.. I love it when it rained.. I stood by the window and inhale the fresh air overlooking the checkpoint... It was definitely a captivating view, I forgot all my troubles just momentarily...

Ayie slept later as he wanna watch Stormbreakers.. I read Cleo till I decide to just crash...

I need some books to read instead of buying mags.. I am absolutely tight after paying the hefty school fees.. Gee, I didn't expect it to be so ex... Over 5k... I can forget about that slingbag that I wanted and perhaps start saving for it start Feb..

On a happier note, I am meeting my darling Sinah and Lihua today... I can never call Lihua Jasmine cos that name doesn't register in my brain.. LoL.. I knew her in Pri 3 as Lihua so old habits die hard..

Su would be meeting me soon too. We are having Seoul Garden...

You would be amazed at the amount of food I have been stuffing into my mouth... I am just waiting for the weight to pile up and then I regret when it is too late.. What's new ha?/

I better get back to work. i have piles of work to do..

To Ezzam, Happy birthday... I need not say anything more coz you know well enough to know what i wanna say..

:: Updates ::

We finally manage to meet up with Su and Bean last night under their void deck. Su pass me the photos from the wedding..The berinai session to be exact after carrying it like to and fro..

And we finally gave Su her birthday gift which is way way overdued...



She was jubilant when she saw the paperbag..



A very happy Su

:: Nikah - 23.11.07 ::


:: Berinai - 24.11.07 ::


:: Sanding - 25.11.07::


:: Outdoor - 25.11.07 ::



Mom's coming back next Mon.. Yippeee...

:: It's 2008 already ::

I thought I might not going to be able to blog anytime soon since I've been very very busy... Uploading pics, going for short breaks and work... So busy that I haven't even had the time to hang out with Su. So that shows how busy I am..

Anyway, 2007 have been a great year for me... Alhamdullillah.. Things wasn't all rosy but it was fine..

It started with me getting engaged on the 28 January 2007.



I seriously didn't think that I might be engage to someone I knew for like only 1 year plus and all this while, I have been attenting and feeling all excited bout other people engagement... So it was surreal that it was my turn now that I would be married in less than 9 months.

It wasn't a grand affair, just a simple one that consist of immediate family members and neighbours. No gifts exchanged, only a pair of ring for him and me..

So we did the shopping during the great Singapore Sale, blasting our pockets, got things done and even drop by Nor's wedding on the 14th July 2007...



On the solemnisation day



During the sanding ceremony..

We even drop by expo to get our matrimonial bed and burn an even bigger hole.. I think that is like the most expensive item we spend on and to that slumberland divan set, you jolly well last me a decade at least okie..

I celebrated my 26th birthday with a twist on the 19 July 2007.

There was no movies or dinner dates, instead Ayie came over to my place early in the morning



with a lighted birthday cake..



and a card...

Then me, mom, dad and Ayie took a cab



here



And we are all set, waiting for the day..

So Ramadhan come and go, Syawal came and said good bye and then, it the day I have been waiting for...



Alhamdullilah, we were solemnize by Naib Kadi Syed Naseer on the 23 November 2007...



It was Ayie's birthday on the berinai ceremony which was on the 24th of November 2007..

I didn't give him any gifts or a cake but just take the 3 tier wedding cake as my present eh dear..



I even feed you tau, even though you shove a very big piece into my mouth, I step maintain and gobble up the cake.. The cream taste good too...



Then Mak and Papa gave you a camera for your birthday.. Okielah jugak kan..



Then on the 25 November 2007, we sanding in a maroon and furschia pink and a touch of gold wedding at my place



and a bronze and yellow wedding at his place..



after the excitement ends, we escape to Langkawi for our honeymoon from the 28 November 2007 to 1 December 2007



Then it was off to my first bike trip to Port Dickson on the 15 and 16 December 2007...

And my mom went for her Haj on the 13 December 2007..

Then we finally round off our trip (hopefully, unless Su's Feb plan is a go, then I would be happy to jet about again...),

Oh back to the story, we went to Genting... from the 4 January 2008 to 6 January 2008...

Phew... Finally, I manage to get it done...

No new year resolutions for me since I never fulfil them, I think as long as we do good and always ensure that we carry ourselves properly, takyah lah nak resolution... Buat jer lah apa yang patot...

I am definitely gonna miss 2007

So now I am looking forward to meet Su, so I can pass her my super overdue birthday present..

Till then...Salam sayang to all..
