:: Lyk hello!! ::

The sudden itch to pen down my thots..

so just a lil update..married lyf have been GREAT so far..cudnt & wudnt ask for anythin more!

renovations ended..house warming done..*phew*...now thats wat i call HOME...hunny has been very helpful around the hse with the mopping, sweeping, laundry & even cooking since he's now unofficially self-labelled himself "House-Husband"..no stereotyping here & im NOT bullying my sick husband but actually he does all that much2 better then i do u noe..& his chilli crab is awesome i tell ya!! :p yet thou im a WORKING wife BUT i also dun just shun all the responsibilities to him, we share..to think he actually ever so willing to sacrifice 'cutting' his leg (knee) just to get a long stint mc since Jan..its not the case actually, more lyk its now or neva, & i dun want him to suffer some sort of old age arthritis in the later part..

last weekend was spent lazing around doing wat we do best...eat & sleep...since our biological clock was fixed set to 7.30am daily, too bad it dint shut off during weekends so we are bright & early on sat, watching tv, a bit of cleaning, breakfast then off we go....watching dvd till i dozed off, waking up snacking, watch agn & zzzz agn!!& its forever national geographic & animal planet for him day in day out alternately on his psp till he too hit the sack...(agn!)..we woke up just in tym for dinner, showered & he brought me to this javanese rest @ the Atrium..ive been craving for resto surabaya ayam penyet (yana i just cant get enuff of the sambal!!)& while his fren actually recommended dis place esp good for its pecel lele, we thot y not we check it out..tad disappointing i must say..:( thou the pecel lele is not too bad..

since ive been 'torturing' him with my endless 'mrayap', i gave up the idea to stroll arnd town (& burning his pocket!!).."nanti dia sakit kaki aku jugak yg kena urut"...checked out Courts Bt Timah carpark sale & home sweet home..knocking off nearly 3am completing my The SIMS..

the best thing abt being married is when u do the groceries shopping together..headed down to jb sun afternoon, got our fishes, crab & prawns..my gosh these prices are increasing lyk nobody's business..!!lunch & satisfy my cravings for A&W b4 heading back home in a massive traffic jam..I just dun understand y isnt there anymore A&W around..for goodness sake the coney dog esp the toppings, dos waffle ice cream & to-die for curly fries are an all tym hot favourites which u cant get at any other fast food joint anywerelse ..*bleargh*

speaking of which..the splitting image of Damai's Butter Prawn kept haunting me endlessly..*hint2*

***Cant wait for dis SAT!!!!!***

-::Its e tym again..::-

hey its hari raya next week!!& boy am i estatic..



it will be our very first raya together & most imptly our first raya as hubby & wifey..and a new house in tow..



the preparations have gone full fledged since the first week but has since slowed down pretty much as the hub was called for a month of OT & that means going home on my own after work, break fast alone & do things all on my own :(..and by the tym he came home all beat & tired he cud just dozed off soon after shower while watching tv..sumtyms even without dinner..:(


fasting so far have been a breeze for me, spending my 8-5 fixed to the pc in a full blasted airconditioned room at the expense of my comfortable chair, while listening to the raya songs to perk up my mood & esp after losing 2inches of my waist & 2kg overall makes it all worthwhile, syukur alhamdulillah the beauty of fasting i muz say but feeling so guilty when ur own hub got to struggle at work under the hot scorching sun manning the green monster truck, carrying heavy machine & cuming home all dirty, sweaty, cuts & bruised..i wonder wer does he conserve his energy..still kuddos huby!



And thou we are left with just 1week, no kelap kelip lites fixed, halfway done painting & other menial handyman job to be done, still i just cudnt bear to make him do dat esp on weekday nites..so i try my hands on his unfinished painting & i SUX big tym boi!*rofl*



So huny, guessed im just not cut out to be a good mr-know-all-handyman lyk u. *psssftt* Will just stick to my comfort zone & keep feeding u with good food till u balloon up..ahax..



Last nite, we missed sahur again for the 2nd tym thx to my hp alarm which refuse to buzz..or was it me being an all-tym log refusing to wake up at ur screams..*shrug* im sori if u have to go thru another hectic day without ur sahur huny..my apologies..hope u are able to sustain till 7 later..


This morn on our way to work, we've made a pact to go all out with e preparations & get it all done up 3days before raya so to left us with a lil last min touch up by the eve..& huny even ask me to cook rendang, prawn, lontong & lodeh dishes for raya OMG!!*freaked out* but hu's gona finish up all dat??so i took up his challenge & will cook the spread for him hopefully he wun get a stomach upset after dat..*winkie*


And im so looking forward to dis sun, we had a date w my bestie & her bf!!hurrah!!its been awhile since i last catch up w her & damn do i miss her terribly..dinner, trip to the tailor to collect our baju & to gylg for me & huny's virgin trip to geylang bazaar this yr...pity us rite..i noe..lolx..we just wana soak up in the festive mood & see wat else we can do to further damage our pocket..but i just cant wait to mit my beauty...*smooch*

::Indecisive::

Im confused...

Im sceptical...

Im contemplating..

All sorts of questions been rummaging thru my tiny brain..im aching..

left unanswered....till god noes when...

should i or shouldnt i...

"Is SILENCE really GOLDEN??"

::Im deprived of...::

So the hub & wifey decides to couch at home over the last weekend, well not exactly the chips+teevee+lounging-by-the-sofa type..not when hari raya is just 2weeks round the corner, boy wer did the tym goes??

Embarked on my 'mission' halfway into sat, head strait home after work, & after 'briefin' me of my chores, hub rushed back to work...its very unlikely for him to have to slog on sat coz his weekends are solely meant for me!!well, apart from catching up with his sleep. But he's been a dearie so far, despite having to get up as early as 7.30am just to send his 'koala-inclined' wifey to work religiously every saturday despite his off days without a word of complain..well not yet for now..lolx..back @ home, he just cudnt stop his fidgetty fingers from doing the sort of...i must say credit does goes to him for keeping the house spick & span, squeaky clean everyday, he just have a thing for cleaning la...*wink*...dat is why i always like it wen he's at home while im out working coz i noe i wud cum home to an apple scented, dustless home..but get him to iron or fold the clothes & he will shove u off & pretend to be asleep with a snoring effect no less..

And its not as thou dat wifey is being pure lazy but with him doin a better job at it so y not let him have the credit rite?*chuckles*...and so he leave the cooking, ironing, folding clothes to the empress...he tried his virgin attempt at cooking 'ayam masak merah' during his 1mth marriage leave, but guessed he had vowed to NEVA repeat or try his hand at it anymore when he saw how i cringed at the sight of it. No, dun get me wrong here, im not despising his effort after all dat constant sms-es, asking wer is the coconut cream & complaining y i did not label the sugar & salt container...*lyk duh* & after all the 'chaotic' world war zone as he describe my kitchen aftermath, it turned out to be super thick ayam masak merah with just 4 chix wings...omg!hahahahaha....but it does taste edible & i dint have to rushed to the loo soon after so i guessed HE DID IT!...kuddos huny!!so i guess dat was e first & the last i get to try his cooking,oh cmon im not discouraging u hor...*rofl*

Well back to my sat, after 'briefing' me on wat to do, he left for work. Starting with puttin on the bedsheet & shifting the bed for the first guest room, moving to the 2nd room cum dry laundry room & finally to my masterbedroom takes a whole 2hours to get it all done, excluding sweeping & mopping (boy how i wish huny was home to do dat)..doin the laundry & cooking in between & by the time huny came home at 6..im done & beat!And so after break fast, we head for jb not before a close brush with a paikia malaysian driver who got pissed when we refused to let him cut into our lane.Hu asked him to just squeeze his way in & expect dos hu have been snailing the long q to let him in!so uncivilised!i had dis habit of looking out for 'uncivilised' drivers lyk dis esp in snailing traffic jams, wud alert huny to beware & not let them into our lane, how selfish of me!wahahaha...well its easier said den done since im just the passenger giving instructions is just a bree...cant be helped la..so, the driver hu's stubbornly tryin to get into our lane moving closer den a finger's length suddenly honk us & gave us a 'dun mess with me its my territory' look..."ALAMAK"..& gesturing a punch....so to avoid trouble huny let him have his way only to keep staring at us without moving. CRAZY FELLA!..but i must say it does move me a bit since we r moving into his 'territory'..so along thruout the journey huny was mumbling dat he wun wana listen to me anymore weneva i ask him not to give way to other drivers yada yada yada bla bla bla...we head to Giant Extra, got our groceries, pump our petrol & head back to the snail super long traffic congestion before reachin home at 1.30am..had our sahur & hit the sack instantly..

Its been ages but we finally did it, waking up @ 1.30pm..half a day gone just lyk dat..Geared up with his brush & paint, while me excitedly paints the whole kitchen with flour & sugar all over with my baking, but hey it does feel good & all prep up for hari raya when accompanied with airing raya songs..we are realy immersing into the mood, an all new mood dat is...new status, new house, new husband-opps...*giggles*..we are uber excited..So we finally had the preparations goin, i managed to bake this

choc chip pecan meringue

And by 9.30 we decide to call it a day, toss & turn till around 1+ we just cant get these eyes to shut, probably its the late get up dis afternun mayb..so we head for the kitchen, had our sahur before huny suggested the impossible, baking my kuih & he continued his painting...at 2am in the morn!!??r u out of ur mind??but wadda heck..

had this baked at 3am last nite...

And dis morn, we woke up with a zombie+panda eyes, dragged our feet to work...

*p/s : promise me u wud neva cum up with dis kind of idea again on a weekday nite dear...all i need now is my fluffy pillow & buried myself in my quilt...*smooch*
