16 Random Facts About Yourself

Directions: Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog/Facebook note with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment or tag them in your note to read this.

1. I despise stupid people, especially men that boast around, berlagak pandai like tong kosong..heh! On the other hand, I admire smart and wise people (not necessarily highly educated).

2. I can cook but I have problem when it comes to making kuih muih or bake cookies (things that need accurate measurement and rigid method). I will for sure terlebih sukat the ingredients…I think I tend to be over generous with the cooking ingredients so that it tastes good..hehe!

3. I always want a double storey house since I was a child, Alhamdulillah will move in into one soon! There was once an advertisement on TV whereby the husband brings the wife to the house (after looking around for their dream home) and gives her the house keys, it brought tears to my eyes.

4. Yes, I am that romantic and sentimental. Sad movies, touching novels, good love songs do make me cry.

5. I don’t mind washing clothes everyday but I hate cleaning up, like buang sampah, cleaning the dishes, mop the floor, vacuum the carpet, scrub the toilet..huhu!

6. When I go to the beach, I can’t stand the sand melekat di kaki, mesti basuh before naik kereta balik. The same goes if something sticky or wet, like kalau amik air semayang pon mesti lap kering-kering.

7. I think I never eat jering, but I eat all kind of busuk stuff like petai, pekasam, budu, belacan, tempoyak..heh!

8. I don’t like durian and all food with durian in it like pengat, lempok but I do eat tempoyak. Funny, huh?

9. I can’t stand people membodohkan diri like reality show Raja Lawak..huhu..I normally will switch channel (TV or radio) because I feel pain that the callers or the participants are humiliating themselves in front of others.

10. I am very bad in sports or any athletics activity. Hubby said I have otot-otot sukan yang lemah like Nobita..haha!

11. I can write, and I think I am good with words. I won many writing competitions before, some of my writing were even published in local magazines.

12. I used to be flirtatious but with a possessive and jealous Hubby, NOW? no way…heh!

13. I like songs but never adore the singers. The same goes with actors, I like their characters in the movies or series but I think most of them in person are superficial or plain stupid..keh keh!

14. I try not to be judgmental and really hate it that people who hardly know me judge me.

15. I have high tolerance to people, thus why I am able to conduct classes and put up with all kind of people with absurd traits..hehe!

16. I have degree in engineering but I have no intention to work in the field. The 2-month stint during practical was enough for me. I wanted to work in private and corporate sectors, been there done that (it was not that glorious either) so I am fine with my “job” position now.

I think I will not tag anyone in particular, but if friends who read my blog like Sya, Nann, Yus, J-Jay (who else has blog?) would like to share about themselves, you are welcome to do this tag!

I finally have the time and mood to update this blog. I have been staring at the admin page for the past 2 days, waiting for the inspiration and correct words to type..no, actually I have a lot in mind to share but every time I start to blog, there’s always distraction.

My son refused to sleep again last night. I think he only fell asleep around 6 or 7am. As of now at 2:30am, he is sleeping thus the possibility of me to update this blog..heh! In 2 days time we will be in March..I love it when the time flies which means soon my son will no longer be a baby. If I have the power, I would like him to grow up to be a 5-year-old boy tomorrow..heh!

March seems to be a busy month, with friend’s wedding, relative’s wedding, niece’s engagement and hopefully the craft classes as well. I need to finish up the craft stock as much as possible so that it will be easier for me to pack everything, in the effort of moving to our new home…hehe..(Oh God! I hate packing..)

In the meantime, I aim to finish up the bunga telur order for May wedding before end of April. I am in the midst of preparing all the ribbons and calculating how much more materials to buy in KL. Since I have a baby, going out anywhere feels like a chore especially to KL to buy craft material..huhu! I hardly buy groceries now. Thanks to Hubby for doing all the necessary buying though sawi hijau turns out to be kailan..hehe!

Well, since tomorrow (more like today) is Friday..enjoy your weekend, people! See you again next week..heh!

There are days that seems to move so slow (especially when the baby refuses to sleep at wee hour..huhu), but somehow we are already in the third week of February 2009.

I requested Hubby to capture this picture of purple flower in front of our current home last month since I would like to keep it as memory once we move to our new house. The tree is big (more than 2 metres tall) so it is impossible to plant it in our new almost-soil-less yard..heh! And I am pretty sure that the maintenance office won’t put such a big tree lining up the road as their decorative element in that gated community.

So if there is one thing that I will miss here in this housing area, it would be this purple flower tree..(note to self: find the name of the tree later).

I am still contemplating whether to reheat the leftover tomyam Hubby bought last night for my lunch today or to order something from Pizza Hut..heh! Oh, the baby is not sleeping, squealing in delight in the playpen, amusing himself.

Since I have not updated this blog for more than 2 days, I will try to type as fast as I could since I really want to catch up on my sleep while my son is sleeping..heh!

Hubby took the day off on Wednesday, reason being we have to go to the clinic for my Pap smear and baby’s 2-month-shot. Before that we went to JPN to collect his myKid and after that to EPF office to send forms to withdraw whatever amount I have in my Akaun 2.

We will be collecting our house keys in 2 weeks time, check for any defect with the maintenance office and after that we can start looking for contractor to install grill and lighting. I just can’t wait to move in..hehe!

Hopefully things will work out smoothly. Actually I want to write about something else today but I guess I will have to do that later. I’m too tired and sleepy to think and compose coherent sentences now..huhuhu!

It took me 3 days to finally update this blog. The previous entry is not counted as an update because it is a paid post..heh! I was hoping to update last night but somehow I didn’t manage to wrap up my draft and save it. All of a sudden I lost Internet connection and there goes my first few lines. Not that it is that important to get it published since I was writing about sighing in relief as I considered yesterday as a successful day but then at 5am I felt terrible as the baby refused to sleep…huhu!

When I typed the above title, my main intention was to talk about how we choose the path in our life and where it leads us to. But after receiving a distress phone call from SIL, I thought of sharing this with others.

Sometimes when it comes to love, it’s hard to make a wise decision. We tend to put ourselves through pain just because we thought he or she is the right person. We fail to see that if the so called thing that we thought as love creates such pain and large hurdle too great to overcome, then perhaps that’s the life sign to us to tell that it’s not the right path for us to choose.

But then if we are really, really sure that the person is the right one and we go with our instinct, then if that is what God intend for us to have, the path will be smooth and easier despite what other people say about our choice. Of course we have to strive hard to maintain the relationship but it shouldn’t be painful.

You can’t expect to be happy when the person sleeping next to you is the one who makes you cry day and night. Marriage should be built based on compromise and great ability to handle hard situation. If small matters make him or her freak out and throw tantrum, how do you think he/she can manage the stress in marriage later. No person should be too forgiving and continuously give in just to save face or to avoid confrontation.

In the end as jodoh pertemuan di tangan Tuhan, we can only pray that whatever path we decide to take will lead us to the eternal happiness, (kekal hingga ke syurga)..or if it happens to end sooner, at least we know that we have done our very best but only God knows what lies ahead for us.
