Meow!

I was watching Batman Returns just now and I still feel that Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is the sexiest villain ever.

I’ve been having sleeping and stomach problem lately. I think the sudden change of eating only once a day is getting to me now. No, not dieting (eventhough I do need to cut down a little weight). Too busy to eat. By the time I eat, it’ll be late in the afternoon and that’ll be lunch + dinner. Yes, I need to take better care of myself. Hence, today, me resting at home for a bit. Maybe later in the evening I’ll go and help out at the shop.

Updates on the Powerpuff Girls? Khadeeja now likes to say ‘Oh Phooey!’, and that’s courtesy of Donald Duck. Ameena is walking steadily now.

Abu’s arriving tonight at 10pm from KL. He’ll be here for 2 days only. Why only 2 days? Sebab Restoran Pak Abu punya renovation will start on the 27th.

Ok la. I would like to CONGRATULATE my cousins for their excellent PMR results. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hari-hari tengok nasi sampai takda selera mau makan nasi…

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that the food is not good, but sometimes all we need is something else. As for me, it’s maggi. I want maggi ayam and telur! Nyam… Nyam…

So far, the new journey have been overwhelming. I guess it’s because of the festive season, we’ve been packed beyond control. I love the adrenaline rush. I love the team. They are a really, really hardworking bunch of people.

I will put up pictures once I could get a few.

Sometimes, it’s even harder…

I don’t like to whine. I HATE whiny people. But I guess once in a while, letting it go is good for your health.

I haven’t been sleeping well. I dunno why. Maybe because it’s not my own cosy little cave. Maybe because Abu’s not here with me. Or maybe because I have no cats sleeping around me. Damn those furry little devils! I miss them… I even miss my ikan laga. SIGH!

Ok… Enough with the whining.

So how are everyone doing? KL people missed me yet???? Us? We are fine. The kids are adjusting well. They seem to enjoy being able to sit outside and play all day. They are also adjusting to having more people around them.

Me? I wake up 5.30am everyday. Some days I’ll sambung tidur after sembahyang Subuh, but most of the days, I’ll be wide awake, contemplating whether or not I should bring the kids out to the beach that morning. No, we haven’t been to the beach yet. I’ve been tied up with trying to get the businesses running. Nasi Lemak is 95% done. Tomorrow we’ll be doing a test run and InsyaAllah on 17th, we’ll be open for business. Woohoo!!!!!! As for Ms Read, we are still waiting for a few stuff to arrive from KL. we haven’t got a date set yet for opening. We hope to open before January, but if it’s impossible (since most of the set up staff might be on leave), we’ll go for 7th Jan. Other than that, I’m doing well. I haven’t been able to do any quilting or knitting or reading books or even watching DVDs. I’m TRYING to watch Hero as I’m blogging now but it doesn’t see, to work. I’m not concentrating well, because I’m tired and hungry at the same time.

KK’s lifestyle? Totally different from KL of course. When you put a lunatic road rager in a place where most of the people goes below 70km/h, I felt as if my blood pressure is just too low for me to even push the gas pedal. My mom is in Singapore and I had the honour of going the pasar besar to get supply. Still got shocked when the makcik jual sayur said, ‘yang ini, dua ikat $1.50′. Again, maybe because I am used to buying my food supply at Jusco where satu ikat sayur is $1.25. And don’t even get me started on the ikan/udang/sotong/ketam. I’ve never been so happy to see a lot of fresh fish in the same room. Last Sunday, I had brunch with my uncle at Hyatt’s Chinese restaurant, and we went for the Dim Sum buffet, and it cost $45 nett, I feel like I want to just sit there and stare at the abundance of Dim Sums! I’ve never seen anything below $50 for buffets at a hotel in KL. Having said that, I still miss my hectic life. I miss my friends, especially those who share my ‘intelligent jokes’. Iskiskisk…

 I shall try and update the blog frequently. The word is ‘TRY’… :-p

… only for a moment or two…

Am very busy with training and setting up. Yes, we are very much settled in at my mom’s place. I haven’t had any rest since we arrived. Saturday was Aniq’s birthday party (Happy Birthday Baby Boy!). Sunday, the mood was ‘total depression’ because I had to send Abu back to KL. Monday until today, training. The rest of the week and next week, preparation for opening the shop. Right now, both baies are sleeping soundly, I have the DVD player and Astro all for myself, without interruptions (mommy! Einstein! – I downloaded Little Einstein on my laptop)… And as of 2 seconds ago, my eyes are really, really heavy…

So, good nite, sleep tite my friends… I should be updating the blog more frequently after this… Maybe after a good massage session…

Sekian!

We (Siti, Chill and Suraya) had a cat called Kumuk (full name tengku gemuk) when were in our 3rd year. He looks somewhat like this particular cat but this cat is fluffier.

I want this cat!!!!! No need bantal if you have 1 of this thing.

And we were admitted after acara muntah berganti-ganti berlaku…

Monday night, from 7pm-ish, Baby K started vomitting. We thought it was because she was doing the pusing-pusing sampai pening game again. After an hour, she was still vomitting sampai minum air pun keluar balik. She looked pale so we rushed her to the Sunway ER at around 8pm. The doktor was telling us the stomach flu is going around now, and it is very contagious. I told the doktor; ‘but doc, my baby @ home ok je’. And he answered; ‘belum lagi tu…’

So Baby K and I got ourselves settled in the room. The baby next to Baby K had the same thing. I can’t afford to sleep because she was gagging every 30 minutes. And then, at around 1am, Abu smsed me ‘Ameena pun muntah-muntah jugak’… Damn…

She got admitted, and we got ourselves settled in a 2 bedded room. Since both babies were whiny and cranky, my maid had to stay with me in the hospital. Thank God I have her…

After 24 hours and 2 bottles of IV drip, the vomitting was reduced to only once or twice. Alhamdulillah, today, we got discharged. Khadeeja is still having fever, on and off but no more vomitting. Ameena, is just perfect. She started walking today. Not too stable but really walking.

I was really, really upset to see my babies with their hands poked and drips hanging everywhere. So small… So sad… But at least they are fine now. Sigh… Now I need to get some rest…

So does Jacob Black… Beautiful, beautiful boy… SIGH!

I must admit that Edward is the IDEAL romantic man, but I still prefer the bad wolf boy. I have this weakness for native men. In my humble, humble opinion, they have the most scenic (if I may use this term) skin color. And not to mention the hair… Beautiful black vidal sassoon hair… Picture this —> NUNO BETTENCOURT! Nuff said about those beautiful (4th time I used this term in this post…) red Indians (it’s not offensive to use this term, right?).

Back to the movie, truth be told, I only give it a B… Why? Apart from those crazy wolf transformation CGI, I felt that the movie was too short. Not a lot of scenes between Bella and Jacob actually. 1/3 of the movie was focused on how Bella was pining for Edward. But then again, it’s the same with the book… So I won’t comment on that. All those Twilight fans would kill me if I say nonsense about the books/movies.

What I like about the movie? The half naked wolf pack of course! Sam and the others are just a relief for sore eyes (or just lasered eyes. heh..). Would I recommend it to the rest of you? Yes, if you are a fan and have read the book (otherwise you won’t understand much). No, to Cat, because she will just roll her eyes from the start to the end… Marina, Benny, you must go. LOVE THE ABS babies! Love the abs…

I took this picture a few months back. Baru terperasan aku belum upload anywhere…

We’ll be going back to KK on the 5th Dec. If everything runs smoothly, shop will be open for business on the 15th Dec. Doa-doa kan lah semua berjalan lancar. But before we go, I’d like to set up a makan-makan session at my house. Dunno when, and if time permits, we only have weekdays to do it. I’ll be back in KL in January though for my eye check up and also for Abu’s restaurant opening. If we don’t meet up within these few days, we’ll surely meet up in January!

Ok… Need to mandi and go do banking and stuff…

I finished 2 quilt project this week.

Ziyad’s Raggedy Andy baby quilt:

I love the vintage kain very much. I still have one panel of Raggedy Ann… I think I’ll do one baby quilt for Ameena with it.

Abu’s quilt:

This design is called ‘Rosie’s Charm’. I took it from a quilting magazine. Easy to do because the patchwork is besar. I love the color. Makes me feel cosy and warm.

Now, I’m working on my own quilt since my favourite quilt (I have the bloody thing since 1996!) sudah koyak. Will put up the pictures once it’s done.

Kadang-kadang, it’s difficult being parents.

My opinions:

• Kalau anak kita balik rumah, kata; ‘Cikgu pukul saya’, the next question should be; ‘what did you do?’.
• Kalau anak kita balik rumah, kata; ‘Saya tak mau pegi sekolah sebab kawan-kawan saya bilang saya gemuk’, kita kata, ‘Tak apa. Nanti bila besar sikit, kita diet’.
• Kalau anak kita di tolak atau di pukul di playground, kita bawak lah anak kita main jauh sikit.
• Kalau anak kita tolak atau pukul anak orang lain di playground, kita kata SORRY.

Kejadian di McDonald;

Anak ku di tendang oleh seorang budak lelaki yang ternyata lagi besar dari dia. Reaksi mak budak tu ialah, ‘BUDAK NI TAK RETI RETI NAK KE TEPI’, sambil menjengkelkan mata nya ke arah anak ku… And after that, all hell break lose…

Aku: Excuse me, you cakap anak I apa tadi? She’s 2 years old, and how old is your son? 8?

Dia: Hey! He’s 6!

Aku: Macam 8 tahun gemuknya! 6 tahun pun masih tak reti nak bertolak ansur dengan budak kecil? Anak you tu berkali-kali ganda besar dari anak I. Kalau anak I ada patah ke apa ke tadi macamana?! Lain kali, kalau nak buka mulut, tengok kiri kanan dulu!

Dia pun terus lari dari tempat tu… Mak bapak lain semua senyum saja dengan aku sebab anak dia memang was bullying the little ones there. Tak sampai hati aku nak marah anak dia sebab yang bangang dan macam suwey adalah mak nya. &*^%^&$^%#%&^$^%$*^%&*^!!!!!!

Pedoman cerita ini; kalau kita rasa anak kita paling bagus pun, not necessary for us to downgrade other kids… Mesti mau ingat, ntah-ntah, budak yang kita caci tadi bakal jadi doktor jantung yang menyelamatkan nyawa kita nanti…

Sekian…
