Hang Out With Friend.

It has been such a long time since my husband and I had time to hang out with our friends. He is always busy on weekdays and on weekends we have alternating visits to both of our parents. 

(Anak belum ada pun dah busy bukan main "-" oh my! Haha)

Last week we were helping out our friends for their event, so, we grabbed that chance to hang out afterwards. Everyone was rather tired and they already have the plan of their own so both of us only get the chance to lepak with this ONE friend. 

(Wow, it is so hard to lepak now)

We ended up lepak for about four hours or so.

I feel so old. Haha.

No more hang out until it's sunrise.

No more going home at 2-3 am.

Everyone is pulled away by their own responsibilities.

It was two years ago when we last met him.

I wonder when we will see him again. 

Youth, cherish the company of your friends. There will come a time it would be very hard to even meet and have a drink together.

My time is over. Sobs. Haha.

Drama

I went to my mother's house this morning.

She was watching TV. A Malay drama was on.

I really couldn't care less about Malay drama. Most of them are total bull.

Since my mother was watching it, I didn't switch the program so I ended up watching that stupid drama anyways.

That drama made me very furious.

What's up with all these producers that wanted to make Islamic movie or drama (kononnya) but have the facts wrong?

Kalau nak buat cerita Islamik, biarlah hukum tu betul.

It is confusing people.

I was so pissed. Still am actually.

haih.

Blogs I'm Following

I just finished managing the blogs I'm following.

It is so sad that most of the bloggers either just stop blogging and some deleted their blogs. Some even have their blog "taken over" by spammers that posts inappropriate things.

Gone where the days where blogging is pretty much everything. I still remember my friends used to blame twitter for the 'death' of blogs. And they are gone too. Just one or two people I know in the real life - others are just strangers.

But yeah, not really strangers if they can write something that touch your heart, no?

I hope this doesn't shrink more than it should.

But I guess maybe it is just a part of growing up. You can't have the same toys forever, can you?

Review - The Inside Scoop

Looking for dessert? Ice-cream - what say you?

I have been to this place a couple of times already and it was love at first visit!

For the previous visits, I think it is fair to say that the staffs are very helpful and friendly. The first time I went there, I was just looking for something light to eat, and I searched using Foursquare for any dessert place nearby and just went for a try.

The store is quite small, but pleasing. I was awed, however, by the service given. The staff explained to me about how to order, and gave me a few sample to try on.

The ice-cream was superb.
Another reason why I love this place is because it has Durian flavoured ice-cream and I love durian.
(Sadly, I can't buy durian fruit because my husband hates the smell and he gets migraine if he eats them). So, this place is like my escape joint for durian cravings. Hahaha.

The taste was very rich, and very flavoursome.

During my other visit, I bought Hazelnut flavour with Vanilla. They just compliment each other. Damn it. Writing this makes me want to have an ice-cream.

Note : To me, the Hazelnut taste was quite strong, so if you want to pick Hazelnut, add another scoop of light ice-cream so the hazelnut taste will not be too overpowering.

I thought about buying an iced caramel latte at Starbucks or any coffee and put one scoop of the Hazelnut on top. It would be marvel.

Here's the address if you want to stop by:

The Inside Scoop Sdn Bhd (1069204-T)

No 9, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru,

59100 Kuala Lumpur.

Hopefully you will get a great time as I did!

April

Last post, April.

I will catch up everything from April first.
Only then will I write new entry.

This will take minimum one month. LOL.
We'll see.

Unlike You, I Am.. #2

Like I said before, life has it's ways to make fun of me.
I am just a puppet in this stage. Pull a string, I lift my hand. Pull another, I smile. Pull all, I don't know what will happen. I never play the string puppet thing, but you got my idea. Or I assume you do. Whatever.

I had a boss who lived very near with their parents. She once said to me;
"Akak tak boleh duduk jauh dengan mak akak. Dari kecik, tak pernah berpisah jauh dengan mak akak. Suami akak pun macam tu jugak,"

My heart whispered,
"When I get married, I don't want to live too near with my parents. Such a loser, no? Always needed to be near with parents and all. I want to live with my husband, just the two of us. Romantic, isn't it? There's no need for families to be so near. That would be annoying,"

And then years passed and now a string has been pulled. The audience is laughing. Not just a typical laugh, a laugh with tears! Yeah, go on. Laugh at me.

You know what I am going to say.

Now that I have settled down, I need to be near with my mother. I need to check on her every now and then. I just have to be there for her. My house now is about 20 minutes from hers. Pretty much the same with my mother-in-law house. Yeah, if my past me is looking at me, she would say I am pathetic. The present me also thinks the past me is pathetic, so, we're even. Whatever.

Time does that, don't they?

At one time, one thing seems the right thing to do, at another, it is a very wrong thing to do.

Time.
Wow.
Not only it flies, it pretty much creates a different being.

Macam Mana Boleh Jumpa Si Dia?

Masa : Dua minggu lepas, lebih kurang.

Lokasi : Majlis Resepsi Kawan Lama Di Sekolah Menengah.

I was looking forward to this wedding. One, because my dear friends that I have not met for years will come. Second, they were always there for me during that time - the time where I was so broken up and shattered and pretending to be strong while crying in silence. Well, you got the idea. Third, Forth, and so on; redundant to One and Two.

The questions everyone asked was "Oi, bila kahwin?,"

"Seriously? Dah lama? Tak tahu pun,"

Well, I stayed away from Facebook before. That would be another story. Haha.

And all of them wanted to know how my husband and I met.

Siap duduk atas lantai buat circle.

It was a long story - how we met.

And during the half of the story, my husband ajak balik. He had headaches that day.

So, I didn't finish the story of how we met. My girlfriends were devastated but they know that I have someone I need to answer to.

Think my story is long?

Do watch How I Met Your Mother then.

My story is no match for that 9 season TV Series! Gotcha!

I Don't Lie, I Just Don't Tell The Truth.

I have resigned for almost 6 months already, and my parents-in-law still think I'm still working. When they ask about work, I'll say the work is okay. Well, the work IS okay, it is just I don't work there anymore. Haha.

Thing is, my mother-in-law is a supporter of government (as in work, not politic), and if she is to know that I resigned from a government post, I would be dead. I tried working in government. It was just not me.

I personally think government agencies have a lot to improve on. Not to say all government servants are rotten. I know quite a lot of people who are good and dedicated. Problem is, - ugh - I better not say this on social media. *sigh*
Kang kena tangkap di bawah Akta Hasutan pulak.

Last week, my mother-in-law and I talked about work and she suggested to me to try and find another job - nearer to house or maybe, work from home. (What a bless!)

If only she knew. Haha.

It Is Way Too Redundant, No?

I am hereby expressing my dislike towards Google +

Don't we have enough of these social media? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Myspace (whoever still use that?).

But I think the social media "war" is not as hectic (read:annoying) as the communication war.

Whatsapp, Line, BBM(LOL), Wechat, Telegram, Kakao Talk .... the list goes on and on.

It is very much redundant, you see?

Ah, some of them have beautiful stickers!

Like I care.

It really beats the purpose.

For instance,

1

"Weh, ni BB Pin aku. Add la aku,"

*roll eyes
"Aku tak ada BBM,"
Krik. Krik. Krik.

2

"Nanti mesej aku kat Telegram eh,"

"Aku ada whatsapp je. Sorry. Pakai whatsapp je la,"

"Ala, install la Telegram. Senang nak contact ko nanti. Aku selalu pakai Telegram,"
*roll eyes
Krik. Krik. Krik.
Wow, you must be so important I have to listen to you! Omaigod! Hell no.

Yeah I know these people who built these things worked hard for it but seriously?
Another communication media is just not a good idea.

And I have all the apps stated above except for Kakao Talk and I just download it for the sake of checking it out and I can't uninstall them because the moment I uninstall them, there will come some of my once-in-a-blue-moon friends will contact me and tell me to install them because they installed them. Which I still think was no point of having too many medium of communication but I still have them.

What a dilemma.

Ha.Ha.

By the way, BBM was fun until Blackberry was bought. BBM for Android sucks.

Unlike you, I am.. #1

Funny thing, life is.
It always has a remarkable way to knock you in your head.
It has it ways to prove that we're wrong.
And the last laugh always belongs to it.

Think of one instance. Just one, where you think "oh, I will never do that," or
"I am never going to be like that, because unlike you, I am......., "

As for me, I have quite a lot of knocks in my head about this. And yeah, I think life pretty much laugh out loud on me. Boo me. Ah, whatever. That's the beauty of life, no?

There was this particular day, years back. A person I really look up to said to me that she couldn't stand being apart from her husband, she always needed him near. Not clingy, mind you. What she meant was she could not survive long distance relationship.

The topic came up because her husband got transferred to the northern region of the country and she was weighing the decision if she should follow her husband or not since she need to apply for transfer as well (if she is to follow her husband).

I was like, "I will never be that dependent on someone," (Yeah, it was just a whisper in my heart. I really look up to this lady, remember?)

Years went by. Now, I am as dependent on my husband as that lady was. As pathetic as it may sounds, yes. I am dependent on my husband. I would have trouble sleeping if he's not around. Again, yes, I'm hopeless.

One time I needed to go for a 4 days 3 nights course at Sabak Bernam, I have trouble sleeping for the whole time. And I missed him so damn much I couldn't wait to go home. On the side note that course was boring. Haha.

Looking back a few years, I was so independent. I really don't mind going anywhere alone. I'm not the type of girl that would always need company, even (and especially) for toilets. I didn't depend much on my parents. I worked my ass of whenever I had the chance.

In my defence, I'm not dependent in all sense. I don't expect my husband does every single thing. I just need him near. Not all the time, mind you. I do treasure my alone time. Ah, I don't know whether people will get this or not. Whatever.

I do think this is a good thing, though.

I mean, guys would like an independent woman but they also like to feel needed and depended on. Right, guys?

Or is it just me justifying myself?

Like I said, life is laughing out loud at me.

Of Cats and Rants #1

Warning. This entry may be an emotional one. 

I like cats. I chose the word 'like' because I like playing with them but I don't like needing to sweep, vacuum and mop my house every two days and cleaning their poop and litter box once a week and pick up everything they dropped while playing and too many other things. I like them because of their cuteness, cheekiness and them being cats. Haha. 

My husband loves cat. He loves it and he really has a soft spot for cats, kitten mostly.

Okay, this is not about us. So skip it.

A few weeks ago, there two kittens came to our house, 'begging' for food. We put a bowl of cat's food outside our house to feed stray cats. Apparently, they never stopped coming. Haha. Habis kereta laki aku bertapak kaki kucing. Hahaha.

The kittens were so small, but we can't take any more cats because we already have a lot and we will be moving to an apartment soon so taking new pets are a total NO-NO. We did, however, took them inside and feed them. I dewormed them right away since I have that med at home and the amount of worms came out was A LOT! (As expected) It was gross. I hate those small, long animals. 

So, we cared for them until they were better, bathed them and brought them to the veterinary clinic for check-up and deflea. Vaccination wasn't recommended because they were too young that time.

So, we continued caring for them (though we need to put them in cage because one of my cats keep fighting with them. She didn't like them apparently.) and advertised them in the internet for adoption. Told ya, we can't keep them.

Just so you know, advertising cats for adoption is a HUGE pain in the ass.

People contacted you to ask about the cat, asked for their pictures, and then they suddenly went MIA.

Kalau tak nak/tak jadi adopt inform je lah. What's wrong with saying you don't want the cat? (Though I could presume it was because they were not that cute). If you say so, it would be a lot easier to move on to other interested party. Duh, don't think you are the only one interested. Blergh.

There was one person texted me. "I serious nak kucing tu"

And guess what, that was the ONLY text I received, even after I replied the text.

Finding an adopter could be a tricky one, so, the kitten stayed with us until it was already time for vaccination, so, I brought them to get their necessary health care.

And then, this one girl texted me saying she wanted the cats. Oh, finally.

She asked me how much it costs to have them.

I said, you can pay for their vaccination,deworm and deflea for a hundred if you want. 

She answered,

"baka biase jee 100?,"

I said, tak nak bayar pun tak apa. (I know she won't pay anyways)

And then, as expected, no more reply.

I am so pissed at these kind of people.

Let me tell you something.

Having a pet is not like having a toy.

Having a pet is a commitment.

It is more or less like having a child.

You need to feed them, give them the health care they need, and be responsible for them.

If you want everything for free, DO GET YOURSELF USED TOY.

Don't get yourself an animal.

Don't get yourself a life that depends on you.

I know the cat is just domestic cat (kucing kampung) and it is pretty much worthless in Malaysia compared to the long-haired cats like Maine Coon or Persian or Scottish Fold in which can be sold for thousands each depending on their breed, but what about the cat's care after you have them? Don't you think you need to spend some money for their foods? Vaccination? If you can't commit, just don't have any from the start.

I don't mind people giving cheap foods like SmartHeart or Frieskies or whatever cheap ones if you can't afford a premium one, but DO realize that you do need money to care for a life. I myself only give my cats Proformance (about RM22/kg - middle-range cat food, not too cheap and not too expensive). I honestly cannot afford Blackwood or Royal Canine which is generally around RM40-50/kg. 

And please, if you cannot care more than the cats you already have, please have them neutered/spayed. Don't go "kesian la dekat diorang", and then when they give birth you leave the kittens near some restaurants or any places to rot. These kittens that you left to die do die, you know? They get ran over by cars, get kicked by people who hate cats and God knows what else.

Use your damn brain, pretty please!

Law Of Attraction

Positivity attracts positivity and vice versa.
Ever heard of it?

The larger question in the picture is, have YOU implement it in your life?

Have I?
I'm still figuring the answer, which mean, I'm not confident to say yes, which means..
Haha.
I should give myself a laugh.
Think positive.
Be positive.

However,
It is so much easier to be negative.
To underestimate ourselves.
To look down on others.

Be the bigger person, will you?
Scratch that.
Be the bigger people, shall we?
Yes.

Titik, Koma Dan Sebagainya.

.

?

!

""

Banyak sangat tanda baca kalau nak list kat sini. (Banyaklah sangat! Haha)

Dulu ayah selalu marah pasal tanda baca. Bukan sebab salah letak tanda baca, tapi etika menulis dengan tanda baca.

Contohnya,

lepas tanda noktah (.) atau koma (,), sila wujudkan sedikit ruang kosong (atau kalau menaip sila space).

Selalu kena marah sebab lepas titik (.) terus sambung ayat seterusnya tanpa tinggalkan ruang. Lepas tu dah jadi habit untuk menulis dengan etika yang betul.

Sebelum titik (.) tak payah space, lepas titik (.) baru space.

Sekarang, aku menyampah dengan manusia yang tak reti menulis dengan beretika ni. lagi-lagi jenis yang tak reti pakai space. Lepas titik langsung tak ada space. Sakit mata tengok.

Last-last, aku biarkan je.

Lantaklah.

Dulu sekolah cikgu dah ajar.

Tak nak ikut, sudah.

Tapi sebenarnya yang paling sakit mata tengok adalah dua jenis manusia ni:

1. Yang suka menulis selang seli huruf besar dan kecik. TaK PeNaT Ke HoI TuLis MacAm Ni?

2. Yang mengeja acah-acah sweet/comel/manja. Awaq naq pergi mana teww? Aq wase naq lempunk cow deq!

Tolonglah kembali ke pangkal jalan. 

Sekian.

Care For A Change?

Bilalah boleh nak perbaiki diri ni..
Dari sudut apa nak baiki?
SEMUA.

Mana nak jadi, asyik bertangguh je.
Asyik biar dipengaruhi orang lain je.
Hidup tunggang terbalik.
Figuratively.
Because I'm walking on my feet, not hands.

Ramai yang dah berhijrah.
Aku bila lagi?
Sampai bila nak duduk di tempat yang sama, buat benda yang sama?
Expectation tinggi, tapi action tak ada.
Payah. Payah.

Dunia.
Semua ni terlalu mengasyikkan.
Nak tunggu apa lagi sebenarnya?
Kalau Malaikat Maut dah depan mata dah tak boleh nego dah.

I was hoping for a miracle, but I know miracle does not just happen. Ultimately to those who just hope.
I need to act.

I am praying for everything to fall into place, but..
I know things don't fall into place, not without efforts.

So where is my efforts?

I pray fro strength. I pray for all the help I can get.
I need to be better.
I have to be better.

Scrambling of the woman who feels lost.
(You just can't admit that you ARE lost, huh)
Whatever.

Go on. Postpone everything again. Until you realize life has passed you by and you let thousands of opportunity fly by. Oh great.
