A Homemaker’s Diary

I’ve been meaning to update this blog on Monday afternoon but I was busy chatting and doing laundry. Later I was in the kitchen cooking dinner – masak lemak kobis, goreng cencaru, ayam masak lemak cili padi. Then while watching House I spring clean the bedroom. Have been planning to do that for ages, with all the habuk under the bed..yuckss..so I swept and vacuumed and then once done I took shower and have my dessert of agar-agar merah..heh!

So now since Astro is out because of the rain (I was watching THS – Nicole Kidman), I think I might as well update this blog. After all you might never know when the opps in PPP will give the chance to earn extra USD11-15 so I might as well prepare the interim post..

We went to watch Zohan on Sunday, not that I am a big fan of Adam Sandler but I think he looks better with that old fashion Paul Mitchell’s Avalon hairstyle. It makes me wonder though what is his real hair looks like? Is it curly?

Forget about Adam Sandler, let’s see what is the plan for this week. I need to schedule appointment for check up this Friday, then if the time permits, I want to renew the license for the IT company. Have to check with SSM website if they allow renewal to be done in the post office otherwise it will be a hassle to go to Shah Alam to renew the license…huhu!

Then on weekend we have plan for more stroller, playpen and baby cot window shopping. I am like 80% towards buying Maclaren Techno XT but since Hubby said Graco has better review, we might as well go and check it ourselves.

Apart from that I am still not sure whether to get IKEA baby cot or the less expensive one from Sweet Cherry…(found one sample in Jusco and I kind of like the white cot) Even if we are not buying it now, at least after Hari Raya I already have what to buy in the list.

That’s all for Monday update…another week to go before we start fasting..eat people, eat..heh!

This is the first weekend that I am not busy or have any plan to go out, reason being Hubby has to be on stand by for the company’s release for both Saturday and Sunday..huhu…

But I think I won’t mind because I have no particular thing to buy or look for. I have enough books and magazines to keep me occupied these two days, even few more haven’t seen DVD..heh!

Oh, I watched The Other Boleyn Girl last night, and then Indiana Jones and 27 Dresses..thanks to the cikai Philips DVD player, we managed to watch all those pirated DVDs..my LG player refused to play those DVDs..sekarang sudah turun taraf, put it with the TV in the living hall..heh!

Anyway, I still have to clean the leftover of my previous bunga telur project..adeihhh..malasnya..I rather cook the whole pot of rendang ayam than to clean up the mess, vacuum the carpet, mop the floor etc..maybe I should call the parttimemaid website and check whether they have service to my area..

I woke up to the stinking smell of kepala udang..huhu..went to Jusco to get more groceries last night, and surprisingly harga barang mentah damn expensive..huhu..bought 2 ketam at RM15++, half a kg of sotong for RM11++, 2 slices of tenggiri at RM9++ …huhu..patut la SIL said harga semua dah naik..I never notice that until last night when the budak Jusco timbang ketam tu said, RM15 ni kak..tak pe ke? Dah nak mkn kan, takkan nak ckp tak nak la..huhu..gratefully we have the money to afford such food, bayangkan those with small income and big family to feed..how do they survive with the current economic situation..kesian kan…

Anyway, last night I find it difficult to fall asleep..2 times went to bathroom to pee..I finally dozed off around 4am and woke up at 2:15pm..it was raining outside that’s why feel like sleeping some more..best kan tak payah keje, tak payah nak kena bgn pagi2 mcm org lain..heheh!

I am still feeling very lazy to buang the sampah..malas nak bukak pagar, but I think somehow I have to..semua lalat langau ni dah terbang keliling aku dah ni…need to take some serai from the lawn as well..serai beli kat Jusco tu mcm tak cukup je..today nak cook rendang ayam..heh!

I read about Dunstan baby language in the Motherhood magazine I bought, and feel tempted to learn more about it. Unfortunately there’s no store in Malaysia which sells the DVD. Found a good deal on ebay but it’s still 4 days before the bidding ends. If my luck is good and the bidding end price is reasonable (plus the shipping) I would be able to learn more about what the cries mean..heh!

Oh, I finally boil the instant mango pudding and now it’s cooling in the fridge. I hope it won’t smell like the tempoyak I have in the fridge..huhu! Actually I was looking for some plastic jelly mould but couldn’t find any in Jusco so I bought a cake mould in love shape. Perhaps later when my child is older I can use the tin to make a small cake for his/her 1st birthday..hehe!

Since I am still not satisfied with any spaghetti I had before (had Delifrance meatball spaghetti on Sunday), I decided to cook my own beef bolognaise today. After all I still have to return Ju’s tupperware so it seems fair..my spaghetti for her spaghetti..heh! And I am going to Jusco again tonight to get chicken, hopefully they have better looking chicken today. Went on Monday but they were out of healthy looking chicken pieces. Now what to cook with the chicken?

We made plan at night, but when the sun shines we changed it to suit our mood and busy schedule..heh! But still we will make it to Wall-E today since we want to spend Sunday just shopping (window shopping?) leisurely.

I managed to sew all the hem of my 7 kaftan today..it’s been like a year since I bought all those kaftan, cut them to the right length but find it difficult to devote the time to sew the hem..benci la mesin tu..but gratefully, though not very intricate still boleh la menjahit..I find it difficult to control the motor, tekan je pegi laju..perhaps I should buy mesin jahit lama yg kena pusing roda pakai tangan and gerak-gerak kaki to make the benang move..oldies la aku ni..but maybe if using Janome or Epal machine will be very smooth kot kan..hahahah..

Since I saw the advert of IKEA Sale which lasts tomorrow, feel like going there..plus I have to stop by One Utama to collect my 2 bottles of white gesso..between the two places, IKANO – The Curve and One Utama, I prefer The Curve..why? I find One Utama very crowded and doesn’t suit my shopping taste..maybe because The Curve has Borders and MPH kot…plus bila rajin nak lintas jalan boleh pegi IKANO, survey barang baru in IKEA…

I hope IKEA has new range of baby cot yang menarik..SIL kata dia nak sponsor..hahaha! I saw one in the catalogue, RM199..ok la tu, kalau anak tak nak tido dlm tu, jadi tempat humban kain pon tak la sayang duit sgt..muahahhaha!
