Dear all,

Have u guys heard of the benefits of mangosteen juice and the effects it could do to you? If you haven't..I wanna inform all of u about the product Xango..which is a health juice that contains antioxidant properties in it..so basically ape faedah minuman ni? u can see all of it as below. I'm not saying that by drinking Xango ni the sickness will go right away dlm sekelip mata, no but at least,consider it as an immune booster as the xanthones in the drink that act as antioxidant will repair all ur skin cells and damaged cells to help prevent diseases.Byk paedah minuman ni..here are the explanations as below :

WHAT IS XANGO?

Some of u may wonder about the existence of Xango..amende la tu. It is a healthy beverage from a company called Xango LLC. The company has already been established in US but in July 2007 baru they brought the product to Msia..all the articles and testimonials related to this product is as per attached file. Some ppl may also argue why the product is considered expensive. U can just blend the kulit manggis je kan kalo ikutkan hati? tapi antioxidant sangat cepat teroksida, so mahal tu sebab we are paying for the benefit and the technology used and it's HALAL..i have the certificate with me tp lupe nak scan. U can go to their official website at www.xango.com.my or www.xango.com for official details about the product.

WHAT ARE XANTHONES?

Xanthones are a group of very potent natural antioxidants that have been scientifically proven to fight the AIDS virus, kill various types of cancer cells, bring incredible relief from allergies, fight bacterial and fungal infections, prevent oxidation of bad cholesterol (LDL) and heart disease, and provide relief for many more health conditions?

WHY DO I NEED IT?

Try opening the Ms Words doc of the benefits of drinking it. Byk kan? But then as I mentioned before, we're not saying this product is a cure, you still need the right nutrient from other sources of food and a balanced diet, but it is believed to lessen the existing penyakit yg diketahui ada dlm badan and also to prevent other diseases to come and attack ur body. Once u start consuming this drink, give it at least 3 mths for ur body to consume Xango and bersihkan/betulkan sistem.

HOW DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

Here are the main ingredients of Xangosteen :

concentrated fruit juices of

1. mangosteen (the whole fruit)

2. apple

3. pear

4. pear puree

5. grape

6. blueberry

7. raspberry

8. strawberry

9. cranberry

10. cherry

basically it tastes like Ribena mixed with prune juice (kalo sesape penah rasa Brands Innershine yg Prune flavour dgn Ribena, camtu la rasenye..sedap J

IS IT WORTH IT?

I myself am using this product for my migraine, muscle pain, my never ending sakit lutut and as an energy booster coz slalue je lesu and sengal2 badan (baru je 25 pun dah memcm sickness) so dat means I do believe in this product and have already finished one bottle.

If u have illnesses that requires u to go on daily medication, what we hope Xango could do is to reduce ur burden e.g instead of popping 2-3 different pills a day, bile dah minum Xango maybe u only need to pop only 1 pill a day. The antioxidants in ur body will combat the damaged cells internally. Try to purchase 1 bottle first, it's 750ml and see if it makes any difference to u.

HOW TO DRINK IT?

· If ur healthy/have minor2 problems like me, take 1-2 times a day after meal about 30ml (equivalent to 3 sudu besar)

· If u have a condition like high blood, diabetic, allergies, or any of the illness listed in the attachment, 3-4 times a day. Same measurements as above.

· If its a chronic disease like cancer stage 3 or 4 or those yg menghitung hari saje tu (nauzubillah), u have 21 days challenge which is to drink the WHOLE bottle everyday without fail..insya allah.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Promotional price: RM140 per bottle. (until 31^st May 2008)

Normal price : RM150

If you require further explanations about buying in bulks; 1 carton has 4 bottles in it, do approach me.

If u have any relatives/siblings/family members/colleagues or you, yourself is having trouble with ur sickness and want an alternative way to try to lessen ur burdens, do have a read through the attachments given and contact us if u want to purchase it.

Remember, promotional price is only until 31^st May 2008.

From The Heart

3 weeks has passed since the engagement but words are still buzzing around on the news and the spotlight just keeps on aiming on both of us. Honestly speaking, I really salute the Hollywood A-list celebrities for having to tolerate with all the attention the public is showering them and not to forget the dreaded paparazzi. How could they deal with it? I know my life compared to theirs is just like a speck of dust but it has been a challenging ride for me just to adapt in this new world. I have been a private person, exterior wise u can see a bubbly, cheeky type of person but when I have my own space, doing things my way, I am very private and to not to have the space on my own for these 3 weeks has been agonizing. I got cranky, I got upset, I got emotional and sensitive just because I got tired of the attention that people is giving and I miss the carefree life that both of us used to have once upon a time ago. Now it’s like we belong to the public! Well, erm not the public..but hopefully u get what I mean.

I don’t blame them. You know, being in a culture like ours here in Malaysia, u get a mixture of everything: the mami jarum, the keypo chee, the ones who act like Datin..the kampong-ish type of ppl and the usual bunch of ppl who couldn’t care less of who you are but all in all, who doesn’t want to see “the fiancée”? Surely a glimpse would do, even if we don’t get into a conversation with each other. I knew I had to catch up fast with piecing up together the jigsaw puzzle of his family tree because 2 weeks after our engagement it was his eldest bro’s wedding. It’s hard, but I’m slowly adapting. It’s hard enough to accept the fact that I’m one step closer to be officially part of his family, but to actually find the “suitable” me to blend in with the bunch of ppl I mentioned above - the mami jarum, the keypo chee, the ones who act like Datin..the kampong-ish type of ppl and the usual bunch of ppl who couldn’t care less of who you are, THAT was hard. I just noticed I kept on mentioning the word HARD in my entry here. Well, it is ok! Don’t blame me for being frantic as I’m a first timer in this matter. I can’t help to think is my dressing ok? Do I carry myself well? Am I too quiet? Should I just be myself? Or should I follow the mood of the majority and be a hypocrite for a few hours just for the sake of mingling around? Who would have thought I would go ballistic over these matters. As for my fiancé, he would just say “relax.there’s .nothing to worry about.” But for us, women..that is SO not true. (At least for those who are in the same world as I am haha)

The transition that I’m going through right now is testing how I would deal with certain situations in a matured manner. It’s ironic really that I’ve been wanting for this moment to come, to escape from constantly being under my parents’ watch, get a bling² on my finger, get married and live happily ever after but somehow, when I gotta deal with situations that I’m not equipped to deal, I so wish my parents were here to guard me, to protect me. But, this is reality. Sooner or later, I just gotta deal with what I gotta deal, like it or not, with or without my family around me..u just gotta have a grip on urself. My first test was the reception at the bride’s side; it was done at a hotel. I had to be at his house, gather with his family and we convoyed to the hotel. Luckily it was done at a hotel because 1) we were all separated per table so I don’t actually have to spend ample time with them 2) I brought my camera along, so I had the freedom to go wherever I want to take pictures 3) I like hotel environment, it’s more me. Hahaha..but my second test at his home was fuh..nerve wrecking. I just had to bring a friend along coz I know I’m unable to do so alone. Kenot tahan the mata helang u know, the observing eyes of the relatives like a hungry vulture aiming for its prey haha. Luckily a fren agreed to tag along. She was my savior, my life saver hahaha..damn I sound so dramatic. Long story to tell but to cut it short, I’m so grateful she was there and I can tell u there’s a lot of learning to be done here.

U can go to http://kmieza1514.fotopages.com for some of the pics taken at the bride’s side. There’s no pics taken on the groom’s side coz the ambience wasn’t quite suitable.

Am glad everything is over now, I can concentrate back on my life, on us as well. Fyi, I am unemployed for 3 weeks. I already quit my job last Friday and will be starting work at my new place in Cyberjaya on the 24^th of March. I dunno how the work culture will be over there, it will be another MNC like my previous company, I’m cringing to the thought of having the training overseas, word has it that it could be a 7 weeks training in Geneva – yeah I know people would normally go ecstatic with the thought of going overseas for training but I’m soft hearted, I’m a hopeless romantic, I dun wanna leave him alone for too long haha. I’ll be working in shift as well, not the usual 9-5. I hope everyone can accept with the new change in my life – my family, his family, him coz I’m only accepting this new job, the new role as his fiancée for our future together. If you’re reading this, Mr fiancé – hope u can tolerate with all of these and I need your support in everything that I do.

This update really is just a rambling of my thoughts..nothing specific. I guess the major transition requires me to adapt quickly that I haven’t been able to sink in the reality that’s going on in my life. Being an adult is tough! Haha. Till my next update ppl..chow!

March – Month of Adaptation

I'm engaged!

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:12:09 GMT

Sorry peeps for the belated update, have been enjoying the procrastination mood these past few days at home, enjoying the luxury of timeless internet connection without having to worry about minimising the windows screen or worrying about internet usage statistics going rocket high at the office. Heaven gila!

The last time I went back to my hometown was during the fasting month and dengan niat suci murni ni i thought since I have 4 days of leave to clear before my last day of work at the end of this month, might as well follow my parents back home right after the engagement ceremony. Kononnya nak tgk pemandangan kat highway..almaklumlaa everything I go back home it's always driven by a driver dressed in black (AirAsia pilot la tu)..but I guess i was too tired from the hectic preparation that i just slept, and slept and slept the whole way..I only woke up whenever we reached the toll to count the toll fare to survey on his behalf. Yela rombongan kawin nanti kan pegi Penang..

Guthrie - RM4.20

Rawang - Ipoh Selatan - RM26.80

Jelapang - Juru - RM16.80

Sg Dua - Bertam - RM1.60

One way cost RM49.40 multiply 2 and multiply with how many cars following..tade la teruk sgt kan? kui kui kui

Anyways! where should I begin? I think I should start with the FAQ (frequently asked questions dearie)

Nape banyak gile hantaran? Why in Shah Alam, not Penang?

As many of u know, my hometown is in Penang, my actual house where my parents are staying is there. The house that i'm currently residing is also my house which my dad had bought for investment purposes but since I dah tercampak keje kat sini, so I jadi penjaga rumah la..haa ada paham? haha..and my fiance's side is from Klang. So, to carry all those dowry all the way from Klang-Penang hmm..it will be troublesome knowing how the dowry is decorated nowadays and with the travelling cost and wat not, we decided to lump it all up during the engagement, thus there will be NO ADDITIONAL dowry during the solemnization. Understood? And the majority of my relatives are based in KL & Selangor, so..the idea of having it here is for all to gather and help out with whatever that's necessary..even if they can't make it to my wedding day in Penang since it's a bit far bak kate org (tp sebenarnye tak jauh pon..4 jam je) might as well they make the effort to come during my engagement..fair and square.

Bile nak kawen?

Tentatively I'm engaged for one year..requested by his mum. Reason being because she wants a 1 year gap because last year in January, his younger sis got married, this year in 2 weeks time, his older brother is getting married..so she wants my turn to be next year. ntahla penat kut..i'm bummed, i know. But we'll see how things go with me starting my new work next month..am not too sure whether I will be sent overseas for training or not..and my parents they wanna go for Hajj this year..if there are unavoidable situations that we have to adhere to...the wedding date could be pushed to this year..anyhow i'll keep u all posted on this ya.

When did you guys started preparing?

4 months ago..exactly after the rombongan merisik came to propose me..aicewah! haha so the dowry from my side we appointed Kak Laily from http://boutiquechantek.blogspot.com/ so, she's in charge of my attire, my make up, the decorations, and the hantaran..so basically my role is just to provide her all the barang hantarans and the material for my attire, and she and her staff are the ones who transformed me from Mieza yg comot ke Mieza yg control ayu hahaha..so if you feel like u wanna use my baju tunang for ur engagement ceremony..u can do so. I have no idea now who to appoint for my wedding in Penang..sigh this is one of the drawbacks when most of the good peepz are located in KL.

08.02.08

The day finally came. I have to thank my relative & my parents for being so committed in making this event a memorable day of me. I know, it's just a small scale simple engagement ceremony but the efforts that they have put is awesome. We had mini meetings beforehand to delegate who is to do what, my wish to get a purple khemah mcm kete Persona kaler purple came true..hehe, It was hectic, even during the day itself, I was still helping out my parents while waiting for Kak Laily to come to transform me. There were last minute glitches as suddenly his side wanted to add 2 additional dowry when it was already set to 13 vs 15. Ish kecoh tul..i dunno how they settled it, but it got settled. So finally at 3.45pm, his side arrived, 10 cars and 40 ppl in total to my house. I dunno what time did his mum finally came to my room for the sarung cincin but i know there were loadss of camera flashes aimed at me..haha mcm artis je rasa. I was hoping so hard that it would not rain during the day..but it did! HEAVILY right after the sarung cincin..org kate tu ujan rahmat eh..i dunno, my head was pounding from the tight veil. Nak control ayu punya pasal, makan pon tak selesa hehe. I just wanted everyone to enjoy eating their meals comfortably eventho it was raining. He stayed back at my house, chatted with the relatives, we took photos..i think there are a total of 500++ photos taken by the photographer..he is awesome for being very patient for someone as bengong as I am..coz aku ni tak reti control ayu hehehe..

Wanna see the sneak preview of my photos? go here : http://hairiestylo.fotopages.com

So..basically dats it people. I'm engaged! hehehe

2 months of ultimate stress, OT till dusk, juggling between doing my own task and backing up my colleague while she's on maternity leave is now OVER!!

She's back since Monday and I’ve started handing back her work, started to handover my work to my protégé haha..finally, I can smile. I can finally see daylight when I return home from work as usually I would always need to turn on my car headlights going to fro from work. And the weirdest part is it has finally sunken in that I am actually on my last month of working here in my current company.

That explains my hiatus on why I’ve been gone for some time. I just had no time or the energy to update about what’s happening with me.

JANUARY 2008

It has been a good start for this year, positive vibe all the way.

Out of the blue on the 1^st day of January, I said to myself..hmm I wanna start cooking and I actually did! Haha..i had bought myself a good cook book, flicked through the recipe, bought the ingredients needed and tadaa…i cooked and it tasted pretty good..tak kisah la if it’s just a simple ayam masak kicap pon..janji sedap hehehe. I’ve also made my own sambal sotong..haa jgn tatau..incredible huh for someone with zero knowledge and zero interest in cooking.

I’m now also into reading all those positive attitude, motivational books. The other day my fiancé to be gave me a RM100 MPH voucher and I had spent it on a motivation book, a cook book, magazines and stationery. I like how I’ve transformed this year..very, hmm what’s the word to describe myself..i think I’m quite composed now. I’m just going with the flow of my natural change here and see where it takes me.

FEBRUARY 2008

In exactly a week’s time will be my engagement. I’m getting cold feet now thinking about it but at the same time I’m excited for the obvious reasons hehehe. I have reached my ideal weight now, I’m now officially 47kg and have dropped 2-3 inches of waistline so all the hard work of consuming Herbalife’s shake once a day is worth it. J Eventhough perut still buncit but heck..haha I’ve already lost the 5kgs that I wanted to lose..i’m already happy with the outcome.

I’ll keep u all posted on how the engagement turned out ya…08.02.08!!

When will it be my turn?

What do you think of blogs and the details that people write inside their blog? I know some of us like to tell the world all the juicy things that has been happening in life especially gurls will love to write on what they spent on their shopping spree, what gifts they got from their boyfriend..u know those happy stuff that can make other people envy. I personally couldn’t care less actually on anyone’s life. I do read other people’s blog but sometimes I’d rather be neutral than critical about what people write in their blog. I mean, who am I to comment about your life anyway? It’s ur blog, it’s ur life, u can write anything u want in it because I know I myself to write about happy lovey, dovey things going on in my life.

But sometimes it can be quite discouraging when I tend to bump onto other people’s blog who somehow manages to lead a life that I’d dreamt of. I’m not saying I’m not grateful about how my life has been but you know..sometimes the voice in ur head will ask the same question over and over again “When will it be my turn?” Everybody has a wish list. Everybody has a certain thing that they would be eyeing on for a long, long time. Some people may get their chances earlier to purchase what they have wanted all these while, some people may not. Well, as for me, I always fall into the latter category.

Here are the things that I have always wished for:

A Coach or an LV handbag.

I know my colleagues, family and my own boyfriend have always argued back saying there are so many fake versions loitering around town that people couldn’t care less whether it’s an original or a fake version of those handbags and besides, even if I own one, it wouldn’t make such a difference. True, I have to agree with that. That’s why until now I never pushed hard to purchase a bag of my own. I love monogram handbags, and I would love to carry an original Coach bag around my shoulder but I always think realistically..to spend more than a thousand ringgit for a bag that even makcik2 kampung pon pakai (my own grandma in kampong has a fake LV handbag..nak kate pe?) hmm tak payah la. But still, when will the time come for me to buy one day? No need to go as far as Coach or LV or Gucci or whatever brands that cost RM1K above..even if I have my eyes on a RM200-RM400 handbag also would make me think twice whether to purchase it or not. Last weekend in Midvalley, I had my eyes on Elle, Lesportsac, Kipling but I didn’t buy it. I could buy it but I gotta think of my budget for the rest of the month. I could use my credit card, but if I use it, that would mean the minimum amount that needs to be paid for next mth’s bill would be higher..do I have enough money to do so? So, like I said, I always ended up NOT BUYING what I want.

A PDA Phone

I love technology, I love gadgets. I love handphones. I first started using a handphone when I first entered MMU at a ripe age of 18 and every year I would always change handphone coz I get bored easily..so now I am 24, that would mean I have used more than 6 handphones. Now I’m totally bored of using handphone. 3G phone? Used it before. Camera phone? Eons ago. So now I’m more into PDA..but as u know, PDA is pricey. Why PDA? It’s user friendly for me coz currently my calendar in my handphone is always packed with reminders and notes as I dun have anywhere else to store the things that I need to remember..thus PDA works as a perfect solution for me who likes to jot little things down. Currently having my eyes on Sony Ericsson P1 and O2. Dunno when I will have the money to purchase it for the same reason as above. One positive note I have stopped buying another phone as I have disciplined myself that my next phone will only be a PDA, nothing less, nothing more.

U see..it’s not a long list but I can’t seem to get hold of these things is because of money. That’s all. Some people would say “Bodek la ur bf ke ur dad ke..takkan tak bleh dpt kut?” the thing is, yes my dad can afford it of course but this is what I WANT, it’s not something that I NEED and I think it’s a bit selfish if I would go up to my dad with my innocent puppy eyes asking him to buy it for me. No, that’s not me. I don’t go sulking to my boyfriend too to ask him to buy things for me. What I want, I would buy it on my own. After all, die pon nak jugak guna duit tu utk diri die sendiri..diri sendiri pon tak tertanggung takkan nak terhegeh2 pamper gf kut?

Ever since I finished studying I have lived alone by myself with my family back home in Penang. I think I am more grateful that my parents would sacrifice to come down all the way from Penang to KL every fortnight for me. And now lately since we’re all busy preparing for the engagement in February, each time they came down, there would always be something new in my house that I’m currently residing for my future use. They have installed two more airconds, painted the whole house, bought a bigger fridge, bought loads of carpets, bought a coffee table, bought a whole set of furniture for my bedroom, all for me and I didn’t even ask for it. Takkan la I nak mengade² bodek for a handbag after what they’ve done to me? Of course not! They know I can’t afford to buy all those household items..thus I am very, very grateful for what they have done to me.

As I look around this house and as I end my entry here..do u think I should be asking again the question of “When it will be my turn?” no, I don’t think so. Pedulik la dgn rezeki org lain. Lain org lain caranya, lain org lain masanya utk mendapat rezeki daripada Tuhan. Just bersyukur dgn ape yg ada..baik kita pikirkan jalan camane nak membalas jasa ibu bapa kita lagi bagus..coz one day all of us will be parents to our child and I’m sure u all want the best for ur children right?

Breakthrough!

I'm finally quitting my job at last! After endless attempts and heartbreaks of applying from one job to the other throughout the year, I'm so thankful to God that I finally have the chance to take another leap in my career path. I’ve always wanted to move on. I was like a restless butterfly who wanted to leap on as many flowers as possible to enjoy how each flower taste like but I didn’t have the chance to do so. My current job is stressful, I know all jobs are stressful but it has begun to take its toll on me especially if you’re dealing with logistics. It is a very stressful job with a capital S. Period. I couldn’t take the internal departmental politics that was going on, I felt trapped in the chaotic world of logistics. Everyday of my work routine involves liaising with more than 3 parties; you deal with the “cikai” local vendors who always doesn’t seem to comply with what u want, u deal with those Mat Salleh all over the world that is ever so demanding. Basically everything that you do in work u always have to “jaga hati” these people. I had begun to lose my sense and sensibility with other people around me outside work. I became cranky, withdrawn and lethargic coz I was way too stressed out. After 2 and a half years battling the work depression, I finally found a breakthrough.

I’m gonna start working in March 2008 and it’s gonna be in Cyberjaya! Out of all places in Selangor..i’m back to where I started. Haha. I find it real sweet u know..during the student years, being a typical student dgn cita² yg tinggi menggunung ni..i was so eager to wear the crisp shirt and pants, I was so eager to have an office tag around my neck and I still remember I had always wanted to work in the Golden Triangle area in KL..konon gah gila la. I’d still remember those days lepaking with my exbf and Wan at the infamous Hassan Café at Cyberjaya going ga-ga over those HSBCians with their attires and dreaming to myself, I wanna be like them. After 2 years of graduating, yes I did get the chance to wear the dull office attire, yes I did get an office tag which I couldn’t care less to hang around my neck. But anyhow, my 1^st job was in Seri Kembangan, 2^nd job in Glenmarie and now i’m back to my dream world of Cyberjaya. Haha the sweet escape! The offer is good; my new salary is 56% more than my current which is a huge difference! I didn’t have a high expectation on the salary..even if they offered rm500 more I would gladly accept the offer but then this is more than that. Since this company appointed Jobstreet to do the recruiting, I had to go back and forth to Jobstreet many times since October! Kejap amik half day kejap amik full day, it was really challenging my mentality as I was afraid to face another failure again. U know, pepenat pegi sana sini, akhirnya tak berbaloi. .

But syukur Alhamdulillah after going through 2 assessments, 1 interview, a medical checkup, a cross reference check, a declaration of interest (some sort of doc that I had to sign first), I finally received the offer letter. I was close to tears on that day as the journey wasn’t easy. Even to get the letter, dugaan tetap dtg. Jobstreet called on Friday and said I should come to their office anytime on Monday as the letter was ready. Kite ni pun terus la apply half day dahla cuti tinggal 1 ½ hari je, ketepikan segala keje yg ada on Monday and went straight to KL after lunch. Dahla it was my first time driving alone to KL coz usually I would go to KL by public transport, though the fares could be pricey and you have to change from one train to the other but I dun mind..at least u dun have to be stuck in a jam! He reassured me by saying that there won’t be any jam during office hrs, and since it was the rainy season, it’s best to drive straight to the venue. I didn’t buy his reason but I gave it a shot to drive alone to KL and yes as expected there was a massive jam. By the time I reached the office, the receptionist told me I had to come the next day as all the PICs in charged were either on MC or on leave. I was sooo furious I spent more than an hour on the road to know this piece of shit. Marah punya marah..on the way back, I headed to the work again dgn muka selambe sambung buat keje yg pending. Hmm talk about being dedicated. Dahla slamber tinggalkan office, slamber plak masuk wif a McD takeaway in my hands. Org pandang pelik je pon I dun care..why should I care..i’m quitting haha. The following day, again I took a half day and my future fiancé (ecewah dah sebut fiancé tu haha) also took leave to give me moral support after facing such a shitty day on Monday. Before we headed back to KL, I double tripled check with the PIC that everyone was fit and well and I was able to get the letter. He said yes. So off we go to KL..but like I said, dugaan tu tetap dtg. The jam was DOUBLE WORST compared to Monday. Every alternative route we used there were bumper to bumper jam. Dunno what the heck was wrong with KL..last minute Xmas shopping during office hours? I became so fidgety and cranky in the car cos I wanna get it over and done with. I even said to him to just drop me at any Monorail station and pepandai die la ciluk2 bwk kete tu..I don’t care if he reaches 2hrs later than me but I NEED to get the offer letter A.S.A.P. Tapi kesian la pulak kan..leaving him alone in the car, some more it was my car. So I stayed put, trying so hard to control my tantrum by keeping my mouth shut. So NOW u know why I was on the verge of tears..PENAT GILE K! The receptionist at Jobstreet also sempat peril “ haa dah dpt surat ni dah tak marah dah?” cit. whatever. My salary is higher than urs. Haha.

Oraitey people, I’m gonna touch up my resignation letter and going to look for the infamous plain, white envelope lying around at the office. Who cares if the effective date starts in January and my last day is at the end of February. Yang penting I’m quitting. Yeay!!!!!!!!

My bedroom is now set for the day. My dad bought a whole bedroom set last week, complete with a dressing table, a queen bed, a side table and the most anticipated furniture: a 3 door sliding wardrobe! I’d always dream to have a big, big closet like those A-listers of Hollywood..where u can fit in everything in it. I quickly MMSed him the picture of the wardrobe and told him I’m gonna conquer 2 doors leaving him only with 1 space to put all his clothes once we’re married. Haha tunang pun blum dah sebok2 chop tempat baju masa kawin..yela 1 door for my casual attires, weekend attire and 1 door for my working attire. Tu tak termasuk baju kurung lagi..if I add on my baju kurung, I think the whole wardrobe is for me..muehehehe.

Since we have nothing to do now during the weekends as we have already bought all the hantarans for both side, we don’t exactly know where to go. So I thought of going to Ikea, coz I wanna look for a floor lamp with a modern or contemporary touch for the bedroom. Hmm in the end, I ended up with a 6pcs cutlery set, 6pcs tea set, a clock and a senduk..eh not senduk, a sudip. I don’t cook, but I like buying kitchen utensils. Weird. The lamps in Ikea were too fragile. I liked the ones with the paper pattern but am afraid my cat would pounce on it..memahal beli kang koyak je rugi la dibuatnya.

The following day, we had nothing to do again. Sure Heboh was going on at Stadium Shah Alam and it was only 15min away from my house. So we decided to go, even though I had expected it would be a bore, just like the first time we went last year at Bukit Jalil. I brought my camera along – just in case. The perk of that event is always the big bags of food sold for RM10 only. He bought 2 bags of Jacker and Mister Potato products while I bought a bag of Campbell and Ayamas product. The only reason why I bought the Ayamas product is because of Chef Wan. Hehe I’ve always liked him and he was there cooking some dish and apparently if you buy the Ayamas product, u will get a free recipe book from the chef himself and he would gladly sign the book for you and take pictures for u. Again, I don’t cook, but anggap je la ni cam mini seruan for me to learn how to cook haha. So I went up to him and got my book signed by him. Yeay! That made my day because although there were many TV personalities loitering around the area tp malas laa nak amik camera amik gambar sipolan ni sipolan tu..so yeah, that was it. Boring.

With all these engagement and preparation..the thing I’m most eager in planning is the honeymoon. I wanna go overseas. I want to share with him the excitement of traveling, to travel to other continents, to meet new people from different culture. I want to hop on a flight with him. That has been my ultimate wish, to bring him either to Australia or to UK. I dunno, maybe because I’ve already experienced it all. I am privileged enough to be given the chance to travel to many countries with my family and I want to share it all over again with my partner.

Every promotion on TV, on the internet, on the newspaper I would be so eager to anticipate in it and I think my dream may come true. Thanks to AirAsia and Amazing Race Asia, I’m dying to travel with him. If not to the Gold Coast, we can go to Bali or Phuket together..we’ve been saving up bit by bit to make our dreams come true. I dunno, I hope it will be possible. There will be a lot of costs involved, but I think we can manage ourselves. I think I have already influenced him coz he is also very observant on any promotions. Baru je tadi he smsed me saying he found out about Jetstar’s promotion to Sydney in 2008. *so sweet* Just imagine the sparkles in his eyes for someone who has never stepped foot outside Malaysia to finally get the chance to travel out of Malaysia..just imagine the look on his face when we’re at the airport waiting to board on the plane..*sebak* mesti happy gile kan..mcm budak kecik dpt ice cream. Can also imagine him getting giddy and excited wanna buy so many souveniers for all the relatives and siblings, jakun amik gambo..*double sebak* That’s why I wanna make this work so bad..so bad that I dun care if we’re broke saving up, but at least, it’s put to a good use J..tp takpela, kalo ditakdirkan dpt travel locally je pun takpela, as long as I know everything beforehand has settled smoothly and yg penting skali SAH! hehehe

Maybe this entry is a bit exaggerating..belum bertunang dah sebok rancang about honeymoon..tp ape salahnya? Setiap org ada impian, setiap org ada cita-cita..and if there’s a will, there’s always a way..right?

I have 10 minutes to update about myself before lunch..so i'm gonna squeeze as much info as possible for u guys to read..

Life has been super, duper hectic since Raya, with all the engagement preparation going on. Even though it is 3mths away, but much is needed to be done, with my parents back home in Penang, and me being here, I had to take the responsibility to ensure that everything will go as smooth as planned. It's fun, it's hectic but yet it can be very stressful.

Things I have done :

bought all the hantarans for my side within 2 weeks. That explains the makeover below coz we bought the couple set for Versace and there was a promotion of free makeover, free pictures and what nots. So I gave it a try dgn muka tak malunya..hehe but I like the output! I only showed my individual picture to my parents, but not the couple picture. (mau kene berleter 7 hari 7 mlm kang bcoz of dat pic hahaha) but then once we're married, I am SO going to frame that picture! and then u'll never know, there will be another picture frame wif a cute lil toddler standing in between us..sure kiut gile kan..I wonder whose face will dat kiddo follow..takpela mak bapak dedue kiut..sure anak pun kiut hahaha..
since i'm currently residing in Shah Alam on my own...dis house is considered a transit house for my parents coz my hometown is in Penang (for those who dunno), so, a lot of money has been put it for the engagement bcoz it's gonna be done here in Shah Alam. So nak tanak..my dad decided to ask my uncle's favour to paint the house..hmm issit correct..painting? mengecat rumah in english is what huh..painting ke? painting bukan guna brush ke? haa tak kisah la..so the wholeeeee house is transformed from plain white walls to multicolured walls..that took 3 weekends to finish.
so now my house is multicolured and the hantarans tucked away at one corner of the room, we went hunting for a place for me to tempah by baju tunang..and to find a place to gubah the hantaran..thanks to Google..i managed to find a place which could do both. My baju tunang is gonna be pink in colour and the theme for the hantaran is gold for the him and purple manggis (haa term baru ni baru blajar from dat akak) for my side. Am having another appointment wif her since my mum wants to have a hands on experience too on this stuff coz all these while it's me doing the calling, me doing the surveying and stuff..

what else huh? aaaa..can't remember..but this is so far what I can remember..hehe will update later..chow!
