Fixin’ a broken heart…

… or eyes… Heheheheheh…

Tajuk post tidak berkenaan dengan soal hati. I’m getting my eyes fixed! Yeay! Finally got okayed by the opthalmologist. Hence me going for the laser treatment next Thursday! Woohoo!!!!

I still can’t see very well since my pupil was dilated for the in depth checkup this morning. I bet a lot of people have a lot of questions regarding this treatment. Here are the things to consider before you go:

• To those contact lense users, you gotta lay off wearing them for a few weeks before you go for the checkup.
• You need a day or two rest before you can drive since your eyes will be sensitive to light and your vision might still be a little hazy (but not blurry).
• It is quite costly. You need to prepare at least RM7k if you have to do both eyes, Lucky me, I only seem to have a problem with my right eye and they are also having a promotion (that ends tomorrow btw), so I’ll be paying around RM2900 (kot?!). And the treatment I’m going for is the better one since it uses laser to cut the cornea and the treatment is customized.

I’m not an expert on this but I wanted to proceed with the thing because my headaches due to the astig is getting a little bit annoying. Hopefully the results will be great. I will let you kno how it goes next week. Where I’m doing it? There a lot of companies now but I’m going with Optimax after a good recommendation from Momster.

Kita berehat seketika

Am practically swamped with doing NOTHING and I do not have anything good to write.

Apparently, driving an hour to and fro Subang-KL, and spending time in the ofis gave me all the inspiration for my everflowing ideas. Until I can gather my thoughts again (or at least find something scandolous to write.. ;-p), all you’ll be getting are youtube clips. But don’t fret dear friends, keep on checking, I might put up something randomly excellent.

Sekian.

Culturally religious

Another excellent conversation with a stranger.

Stranger: Excuse me, I don’t mean to be rude but can you are not a ‘Malay Muslim’ right?

Aku: EH?! What gives?

Stranger: You are too colorful. You must be a ‘native Borneon’ or ‘Indonesian’ or ’something else’ Muslim.

Aku: I’m a native Borneon Muslim. I’m a Murut from Sabah.

Stranger: I think what you are wearing now is very nice. You just eliminate the usual stigma people have in Muslim clothing. You kno, the  usual dark colored clothing.

Aku: Thank you!

Stranger: And you are not afraid to show people your cultural background. You should keep this up!

Aku: Err… Ok…

And I think all of you are wondering what I wore yesterday right?

Colorful Me

 I think this whole thing is because of the red + green clashing and also my beaded bracelet and red bag with green crocs…

Allow me to wallow for a bit

I’m still sad about the whole career move.

I kno… I kno… If you are comfortable there why the hell did you resigned? That’s just it. TOO COMFORTABLE. I got lazier and lazier every single day. If I don’t jump at the golden opportunity in front of me, I bet I’ll be sitting my ass off there until I retire.

So what was the hardest thing that I had to do yesterday? The walking around saying my goodbyes was not my favorite part but since I still get to seee my friends, it was those whom I was so used to be seeing everyday I’m gonna miss terribly. But the worst part was deleting all my files and stuff from the company’s laptop. All my work, my projects… Sigh…

So what’s next? I told a few friends about the plan. We (my family) will be opening our own businesses in KK. No, I’l still be in KL since Abu is still attached here. I’ll be commuting KK-KL until Abu decides to join us there. Not to worry. Like one of my friend in Hong Kong said, ‘eventhough we are so far away, I feel that you are very near to me since we have FB and blogs to keep up with each other’.

I’m still sad but I guess we never should regret whatever decision we made.

Balik dari cuti…

… kerja bertimbun-timbun.

Quick facts:

• Raya was very quiet this year. No big celebration.
• Travelling with 2 kids for 2.5hours confined in a small space is stressful (kejadian tarik rambut-gigit-rebut barang telah berlaku).
• Gambar-gambar raya akan menyusul either hari ni atau besok.
• Grey’s Anatomy season 6, not as what I expected, hence me saying it’s not very good.
• I downloaded House tapi belum sempat tengok.
• Khadeeja panggil Bapak dia ‘Abu’…
• Ameena Bobot suda pandai sebut ‘Mama’, ‘Nenen’, ‘tatatatatata’.

Sekian…

Hygiene, people. HYGIENE!

I always find those Chinese from China girls intimidatingly beautiful. With their flawless skin and legs up no the heavens, they all look like they belong on the runway.

But yesterday… Yesterday just spoiled every single mental image I have about them.

Di kala aku line up bayar groceries di Carrefour, I noticed the group of people in front of me. They were obviously foreigners as the men looked very much like Bae Yong Joon and the ladies were like mannequins. Not to say our local flavors doesn’t look that good but you can just tell lah they were not one of us. I noticed they were buying a lot of home stuff (sepit baju, hangers, baldi…), hence me assuming that they were students.

The 2 girls were a total opposite of each other. One was tall, tanned, long straight hair, and has got one of the most beautiful complexions I’ve ever seen. The other one looks like one of those Harajuku girls, exactly like a doll (fair, big eyes, long wavy colored hair). Cantik sungguh la mereka-mereka tu kalau mau dibandingkan dengan aku yang pakai seluar track, selipar jepun, t-shirt yang separa putih, separa Ribena (earlier that day Khadeeja tumpahkan Ribena on me and didn’t even bother to change). Sedang aku sibuk mengamati kecantikan diorang, tiba-tiba, the baby doll girl angkat tangan dia to touch one of the men’s face… ONDE-MONDEEEE!!!!!! Bulu ketiak panjang sebakul!!!!!!!!!!! Bukan yang macam 2 -3 hari ndak shave but full grown like 3 years did not trim type of panjang!

Lepas tu, aku pun taruk balik bihun kering yang aku plan mau masak di dalam bakul ksong di bawah counter…

Moral of the story: cantik macamana pun, kalau mau pakai stp (skirt/short tutup p****t) or baju sleeveless, mesti mau pastikan tiada bulu yang visible.

Sekian, terima kasih!

Lagi-lagi cerita KFC

Aku: Combo A satu.

Cashier: Ok. Yang ini ek kak? Yang 9 ketul ayam ni.

Aku: Betul.

Cashier: *looking at the menu above sambil menggaru-garu kepalanya*

Aku: Yang free air soya tu.

Cashier: Akak rasa pinggan yang 2 keping tu free ke kena beli?

Aku: …..

Cashier: Sorry kak. Saya ni baru belajar nak jadi cashier.

Aku: Oh… Ok… *didn’t want to be nasty because she already looked as if she wanted to cry*.

Cashier: *still menggaru kepala sambil mencari mana-mana pekerja lain yang boleh di tanya*

Aku: Ada tak orang yang datang sini nak beli pinggan? Takde kan?

Cashier: Ye tak ye jugak. *sambil memasukkan 2 pinggan free dalam bakul KFC ku*.

And people say I’m being difficult… Benda-benda macam ni la yang buat mulut aku bergerak sebelum otak aku boleh befikir.

Save the cheerleader, save the world!

Topik yang tidak related dengan Heroes…

As ya’ll kno, I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of ways to cut down domestic waste di rumah. It started with the reusable shopping bag, which I have to say is a big huge success, since I have only 3 or 4 stray plastic bags lying around at home. And then, it was the cloth diaper with Khadeeja. Initial cost was huge but it was soon forgotten when I realized I haven’t had to spend anything for her diapers for almost 3 months. And just this week, di sebabkan cik kiah datang mengadap, I started myself on cloth pad. 

I kno the biggest concern with cloth pads ni is leceh. Well my friends, nothing good in this world is easy! And the second issue will definitely be kebocoron. Setakat ini, I don’t have any accidents yang tidak di kehendaki berlaku. For the time being (sebab pad ku tidak cukup), I only wear it when I’m at home and still use disposable pads time kerja. Currently I’m using cloth pads from Bellaposh. In my opinion, one of the best I’ve seen in the market sebab the pad is layered with non-bocor material and it looks sturdy (is this correct word to use?) enough to hold all those O+… Heh…  

So how do we start? My advise; get 6 regular pads, and 2 night pads. Depending on how regular you change your pad, 3 day pad throughout the day, and 1 regular + 1 night pad (change before you go to bed) will be good enough. Bellaposh’s pads cost about RM33 – RM35 each. Other brands cost more but since I haven’t had the chance to try other brand yet (which I will once I have the budget), I’m not sure if there’s any difference in the quality. But buat masa ni, it is very, very comfortable. Disposable pads sometimes can cause itchy-bawah or melecet. And I really hate those gel pads. Susah betul mau cuci. Anyways… What was I saying again? Hmm… Oh! Cost… Yes…

Again, the same with the cloth diapers. I think sebab kita pakai pun sebulan sekali, and don’t really mind paying, for me, it is also for a healthier vah-jay-jay. Have I mentioned that it is damn comfortable? If you want to use it day and nite, there are a lot of stylish wet bags/pad bags available. Messy and leceh especially time kita not in the house? Once you get used to it or you have a ritual for storing used pads, it should be fine.

Pantyliner (Sugarliners from Tiny Tapir), Regular pad (Bellaposh from Little Haven), Luna pad (Bellaposh from Little Haven)

Where to buy? All online babystores have it. But if you want to see and touch first, go to Tiny Tapir store in Ampang Point (no Bellaposh there but they have other brands) and also Little Haven at The Curve. I also love Bellaposh’s cloth diapers. It’s not bulky and very easy to take care of!

Sekian saja tips penjagaan bumi untuk hari ini. Save the cheerleader, save the world! Woohoo!!!

Musykil

Time Merdeka tu hari, I managed to watch a few minutes of the sambutan on TV1.

Kemusykilan ku: Kenapa bukan PM yang baca Rukunegara? Kenapa bukan PM yang laung Merdeka?

Sekian, Terima Kasih.

On top of the mornin’ to ya!

To make it even better, it rained! And I’m all nice and cosy here… On my bloody seat, in the bloody office. I should’ve brought the laptop back yesterday. And now, I kno I’m not supposed to say this  but, I AM HUNGRY! Damn the rain and the cold aircon!!!

Okay la… The family and I will be in Kuantan this weekend for our pre-raya visit, since we’ll be celebrating in KK this this year. I’m so looking forward to the food prepared by MIL. YUMMY!

Have a fantabulous weekend ya’ll!
