I'm being lazy coz it's too hot!!

Hmmm....

Simply an understatement and an excuse you see...that I'm being lazy in updating my blog coz it's too hot!!! WTH...or am just being plain stupid with no idea to babble about....  ;(

Anyhow... the school holidays were terrific (or in my case terrifying...huhu) cos the house is full of children for a solid 2 weeks...14 days...336 hours...20160 minutes...1209600 seconds... Ha ha ha... as though 3 kids are a hand full!! Selfish me...he he he....

Yelorrr...the kids conquered almost everything!!!

- the main tv with a satellite subscription to you-know-what-company
- they conquered the lappy and desktops too
- not to mention mendling with ipad!!!

So, what's left for me??? Lots and lots and lots of house chores and laundry to be done...phuhh

Oh, did I ever mentioned that a close friend of mine is going on Umra' with his beloved hubby and her in-laws for a fortnite? Hmmm...I even managed to make her promised me to send me a copy of her journal during her Umra' so that I can write on it for my blog...how selfish of me...hehehe...sorry friend, you just have to bear with me on this  ;)

So, being a good friend she is and in keeping her "forced promise" that I made her to sworn, initially she emailed me yesterday 18 emails about her journey to meet her Maker...Gosh, you gotta be kidding me...18 EMAILS, really??? And now I have 18 emails to look into and write something on it...hmm...me and my big mouth!!
 Say, I wont be that fast in drafting and editing and publishing it in my blog, and I have to email her the draft first as she would need to approved it ...hmm...so, bear with me in my new post, ok?

Bye for now and thanks for reading...cheers  :)

I really enjoy watching this series. It's sort of my new profound love, other than CSI....hahaha...

Basically the series delves into the dark side of the New York underworld as the detectives of a new elite force, the Special Victims Unit, investigate and prosecute various sexually oriented crimes, while trying to balance the effects of the investigation on their own lives.

Sometimes, it makes we wonder when are we gonna be that good, another question is if ever we are gonna be that good or if such unit THAT Good exist in any part of the world??? Any body dare to answer that? 

Eventually, all the series got me caught and hooked on the screen, with my mind trying to figure out and racing to get the outcome first before the end of the show :)

That's pretty good and accelerating ... just plain fun and satisfying

 And these two persons are the main characters in the series, Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson!! Just love the good natural acting that really strikes out their roles.

The series are really a hit that it were even aired in Russia!! Good to know that...

Just love watching them and hope that you too.

It's just me in my normal days

Not so good a fortune...mendapat kecederaan parah di ibu jari kaki!!! Like hell, sakit x hengat dihempap pintu almari sliding...!!!

So, my world just went black the last few days, x leh nak g memana, susah nak jalan dgn ibu jari kaki yg berdenyut2...  :'(

Eventually, the pain subdue and at last, last Saturday I managed to go to Bentong with some help from my brother, pak supir x bergaji yg kuat melawan...huhuhu

Now only I realised how I missed the village and its environment. The smell of village air is just....heaven!!! Lama betul rasernya x pergi Bentong, it should be a couples of loooonnnggggg years ago...sampai dah lupa how was it previously. Even the kids were ecstatic in going to Bentong. Bukan lama pun, sehari dua aje, but a very meaningful trip to all of us.

We went to a local night market or pasar malam as we used to call it, in Mempaga 3, about a kilometre away from Perumahan Tras, were my uncle's house is situated. It's been ages since I last went to a pasar malam!!! I didn't even get to enjoy the one in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman every Saturdays!!! Bummer...

I really missed the crowd in the pasar malam and the smell of local dishes being sold there (sorry I didn't get to take pictures of the pasar malam at Mempaga 3, didn't bring my camera) but I managed to snapped these pictures instead from my handphone....recognise what is it?

Oh really, I missed those years on running naked in the village and in the paddy fields...!!! Even my lil' princess has never seen a real sea!!! Gosh...poor baby...that is why I thinking of a family trip to one of those beautiful islands that we have surrounding the Peninsular of Malaysia sometime in October...

Am all jolly and excited of the island trip and I guess that the kids will definitely love it too...none of us has ever been to any of our own beautiful island, and I am gonna mend it!!!

Pulau Tioman, wait for our arrival and we are gonna have fun there too... ^_^

Books, books....and books....and more books

Venue:  Putra World Tarde Centre (PWTC)
Date  :   7th April - 6th May 2012
Event :  International Book Fair 2012

Hmmm....I didn't get to spend my time there...bummer... :'(  It's ok, there's probably another next year (same lame excuses) But hey that doesn't mean that my family & I fall under the "not reading community" , ok...

We went to an infamous bookstore in a shopping mall in Petaling Jaya, well, I think I'm not suppose to write any direct name while blogging (ain't I?)...

We bought several books for the kids, Mr Mama and myself. I just love the smell of new prints!! A good book with a 300+ pages can be read within a day! Subject to no interference from other person, and in my case , my little monsters!!

The kids like to read as well, even though sometimes they are only reading chicky story books but hey, it's not easy to teach someone to simply love reading, I believe that it does not comes naturally.

Oh, since some of the titles from a particular author are finished in the store, I managed to buy them online!! Oh, I just love the net ^_^ and am now expecting those books to arrive in my doorsteps anyday... I shall update you guys on the titles soon...

Thanks for reading this entry ^_^

Rojak oh Rojak!! + Cendol...

Last week, on the way back from post office in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar it was soooo hot!!! Damn hot. My brother who acted as my driver for the day purposely passed by this "rojak" lorry at Jalan Bukit Pantai. 

Gosh, the "rojak" was so delicious. I'm not a real fan of rojak but from time to time I would crave for this delicacy...

I've tasted many rojak but personally, I like this one best! And gosh, I would normally finish my portion of this rojak happily...

I would like to consider rojak as a healthy dish since it has vegetables in it (cucumber and sweet turnip, sometimes bean sprouts too) ...Oh, but I don't like my rojak with bean sprouts (taugeh)......raser cam nak mati klu makan taugeh...

Credit goes to these 2 machas yg buat rojak power punya.... Oh, the sambal sotong is delicious too...

 

Pasni, klu ane-ane ni dah femes...jangan lupa bagi aku makan rojak free & cendol!!!

Cat FoodS!!! Yumm...

Yes, my mom asked me to buy cats' food! (Ala, leceh laaa)...the cats are driving her nuts it seems...they are following her around the house asking for food!!! Begging I dare say...hmm... ni sure mak ngah catu makan ke apa ni...

Not that I'm selfish not to go to the groceries to buy them food but...malas la nak parking kat TMZ Bangsar tu...dah la payah nak parking at those limited space parking...demmm...

Yet, I still went to buy those cats food (literally half heartedly - maafkan anakmu ni Mama...+_+)

Hmm....Look at those cats food section!!! Wow...I never have the idea that I'm going be stuck in the cats food section THAT long just to buy cats food!! Ha ha ha ... serve you right, tu lah...complaint2 lagi...nah amik kau...pilih la mana satu yg nak beli... *_*

Oh, nice shade of pink...(it is relevant...hehe)

Oh, but I like this baby blue!!!  ^_^

Hey, the cat on this packing is looking handsome...gosh...if only mom's cats are these cute... hehehe


Erk...so many brands to choose from...OMG!! Which one is better than the other but I think I remember mom sort of saying that don't buy the pockets ones since the cats won't eat it!!! Hey, makan pun nak pilih2 ke...bukan semua sama je ke raser ikan!??

Oh ok, now I wonder why in the world that these packagings are so nice and colorful and "addictive" to look at...Oh now I know, it's the advertisement for humans!!! Ha ha ha...not that cats can go and shop their food on their own! Kan? Kan? Kan?

Oh ok, a simple task that can be done in less that 2 minutes ended being done at almost half an hour!! Why? Well, I kind of stuck at choosing the foods based on the packaging but then I realised that I should read the nutrition label so that my mom's cats and kittens will be full with good and healthy food!!! Hahaha...now, I myself sounds like an advertisement!!!

 Hmm....well, at last I brought this brand (not gonna disclose it here though) and mom's cats are delighted with my choice!! Hah< my choice yeah...not theirs...LOL

Am I going crazy writing about this...hehehe....NOT! (Eh...yakin ke aku yg aku ni x mereng lagi nih...)

Eventually, the results of those yummy food gonna look something like these

Ha ha ha...everyone is satisfied with my choice. (The little girl did not consume any cats food...she's just singing lullaby for them to sleep)...hehehe...

Ok. Enough said, hope that you enjoy reading my rubbish today as I enjoyed making it as grubbish as it is...LOL...confirm mereng aku ni...

Trip to Bali Part 2

As promised, this entry is about Bali again and I hope this will be the last entry on it, not the last trip to Bali ... hehehe...ala2 verangan nak g lagi la ni...Tapi Bali mmg sempoi...

Let's see...

On my 2nd day in Bali, I went for sightseeing. Yea lorr... kalau x g melawat tempat-tempat tumpuan pelancong, gimana nak tau budaya mereka...yea x?

Earlier on before departing to Bali, I've arrange with a local guide for a half day tour in several tourists attraction in some part of Bali.

A few hours in front of my lappy (sampai keluaq ayaq mata mengadap screen) and blog walking from 1 blog to another... (sib baik x berpeluh - peluh sbb its eventually didn't need any physical movement except for my fingers to dance on the keyboard and my eyes to read >_< I end up contacting this fella, Ketut Diana.

Don't be fooled, the name read as "Diana" but it's a man. I managed to ask him about it later when I met him in Bali, it seems that the name Diana is a comman name for male!! Hmm...sib baik nama aku bukan Diana.

His rate is reasonable and can be consider as cheap. USD20 for a half day trip, lebih kurang RM60.00 waktu tu utk half day trip. Ok what...? This Ketut Diana may be reached at this web address http://www.baliroundtrip.com/index.php and his profile and tour company can also be view at http://www.baliroundtrip.com/about_bali_guide.php Manalah tau kot2 esok-esok korang pulak nak gi Bali kan...so, kumpullah duit dari sekarang...ngeh ngeh ngeh...

So, enjoy the pictures on souveniours that I managed to take and sensored (some of the souveniours are a bit "nasty looking" walaupun ada yg satu dua terlepas gak kat sini)

These photos were taken from several souveniours shops.

Later, I went to Jimbaran, a fishing village and tourist attraction located to the south of Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali.

The purpose of going to Jimbaran was to have seafood dinner while looking at the sunset...perghhhh, macamlah kat sini xde sunset at the beach...hmmm. The food was delicious but expensive, yup really really expensive...jutaan rupiah yea. The dish that I chose was priced at Rph. 3,800,00.00 (about RM1,271.00!!) Tak percaya? Percayalah....mahal sebab ader lobster kot...

Oh, the nite before (the 1st day of arrival) I had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe since I was occupying the hotel. The food was so-so, nothing that special just like other HR Cafe I guess except that this cafe is in Bali so for Muslim patrons, do ask before you order...

Well, I guess that's it for now...hope that you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing it...

^_^
