7 weird/ random facts about me:

1. I am a hoarder, I like to buy things and keep them at home, or simply collect them if they are free but restricted to reading materials, pamplet, brochures, magazines (J-Card magazine pon mesti amik..hehe) sometimes katalog Carrefour pon simpan..pamplet kedai perabot pon tak sampai hati nak buang..

2. Every month, I spend hundreds on reading materials, the usual monthly magazines, Mingguan Wanita, wedding and bridal magazine, scrapbook and craft magazine/book, utk reference bisnes la katakan, but honestly if I were a millionaire I will buy like one whole book store..

3. I seldom go out and coming home with nothing, mesti ada jugak at least one thing that I will buy, doesn’t matter cheap or expensive but usually I will not regret buying if those things will lead to more profit generation (can be used for my business or craft classes)

4. Once I start reading, I can’t stop..if the fiction book is good I don’t mind staying up to finish it, I think I am quite a fast reader but not when it comes to academic materials..haha!

5. I put my things everywhere, but since I keep the location of the stuffs in my photographic memory, I can find them quite easily, but not when someone else is trying to find it..hehe! I think if police would like to search my house, sure dorang pon pening..

6. I like to cook, but I am not a big eater and definitely not happy when it comes to cleaning up after the cooking.

7. I don’t like to get my feet wet and dirty, like when at the beach, tak suka bila nak naik keta balik then ada pasir lekat kat kaki, mesti kena siram dgn air dulu baru masuk kaki dlm keta, or like when terpijak becak and lecak kat kampung, cepat2 nak basuh kaki..come to think of it, the same goes to my hand and fingers, kalau masak, melekit skit mesti basuh tangan, pecahkan telur nak buat kek, mesti cepat2 pegi sinki basuh..

I think I will not tag anyone..but anyone reading this who feels like sharing their weirdos and randomness in self, feel free to do so!

I Can’t Wait…

with 3 comments

Tomorrow afternoon is the moment I am waiting for, for the past 18 days (feels like 18 weeks..huhu)..Hubby will be reaching KLIA around noon and he will take the ERL to Putrajaya then I will go and fetch him there. By 6am our time on Monday he will be in Taipei before another long hours to KLIA, pity Hubby.

I have done my groceries shopping, marinated the chicken and boil the stock for nasi ayam tomorrow. I don’t think I am up to eat it for lunch, today I had lunch and I have this loya feeling till night..huhu..so let Hubby eats all he wants and I will have my home made nasi ayam for dinner instead.

My life will be back to normal in no time soon, tell you, it’s hard being alone, doing all the house chores, pay the bills, find food to eat..huhu..honestly, being married is the best. You know there will be that someone who will be so kind even after long hours at work to throw the rubbish, do the laundry, clean the dishes at times you feel you don’t want to do those chores. You know by the due date all the bills will be paid, the groceries you bought will be stacked nicely on the rack and those drinks will be kept chilled in the fridge. At times we take that for granted until we are deprived of that conveniences.

I want that back in my life and I thank Hubby for those things he does, I am one grateful person, I know that now!

Fever, Sore Throat, Hungry..

without comments

I was down with sore throat and fever since yesterday (in fact I didn’t feel very well since Monday) but since Hubby is not around, terpaksa la menggagahkan diri, pretending as if tak de apa2..huhu..I went to see the doctor yesterday and she said my temperature was high..huhu!

Ate bihun sup I bought at the usual restaurant, took the medicine and fell asleep while waiting to watch Bones. Woke up at 12am since SIL called. I didn’t tell her that I was down with fever when we talked on the phone earlier. So she thought I might still be up watching TV or doing my craft work. We talked for quite some time and after that I went out to buy burger.

Took another dose of medicine and went to sleep again. I thought of waking up a little bit earlier to buy lunch but once it started to rain heavily, I thought what the heck, just continue sleeping..heh!

So here I am at 8:20pm, thinking what to have for dinner. Can’t wait for Hubby to come home, nak pegi pasar malam..huhu!

Few More Days

without comments

I went out to Alamanda today, with the initial plan to have noodle set at TCRS. Then I realized since the credit card due is on 1st June and it will be on Sunday, I might as well deposit the cash today. Since I have some money from craft class I don’t need to go to ATM to withdraw Hubby’s money..heh! Good choice as well since people were queuing up at ATM machine to withdraw their salary.

After the lunch cum dinner of Honey BBQ noodle, I was thinking to buy some groceries at Carrefour but looking at the crowds, tak payah la..went to Parkson and MPH but didn’t find anything interesting to buy. Even the June edition of my usual monthly magazines are not out yet.

So in the end I bought cookies at Famous Amos and jeruk timbang campur-campur..makan sampai ngilu gigi..heh..on the way home, baru teringat, I should have checked the Cold Storage branch dah open ke belum…aiseyy..nvm, next time la..

For supper I had naan and tandoori, baik mamak yang amik oder tu tolong bayarkan bill kat kaunter, and come back to give the change..tak penat kaki aku berjalan..maybe he saw I was alone waiting for the food..tomorrow I’m going to the usual car workshop to service the car..kesian my Kelisa, long overdue for service and terribly dirty with dust and whatnot..dah baper bulan tak basuh..haha!

For now Hubby is online, standby on the job in the hotel room eventhough Americans are enjoying their Memorial day off. That’s all for today, I want to continue YM with Hubby..heh!

What’s For Dinner?

with 2 comments

The problem with being alone is that you have no one to share your thought with, like what’s for dinner, where to eat, what to do today etc etc..and definitely the biggest setback if you were to do anything, you have to do it all on your own, alone, like having Sushi alone, eating the lasagne while the rest at the restaurant dine with their family, friend, spouse, partner..huhu!

Never mind, that phase will pass once June arrives..looking forward for the day that Hubby will come home.
