Of…hormones and compliments..its a woman thing is it?

My hormone levels are definitely haywire since last 6 months. I dont know what happen. I know i should seek medical help. Professional medical help. but….i still have no guts. After some googling, symptom checking, i think i had this…..PCOS..stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Sounds terrifying no? When it actually means i will get hairier and fatter and needs meds to concieve (infertile)….Perempuan mana sanggup infertile????? Guys will have second thought marrying infertile woman, i guess.(because having offspring’s is vital to them…well IT IS). It’s very rare…and sweet (too) if a guy threw away that grave matter after he knows.

Well actually its the worst case scenario i want to think of im having..And also a push for me to go seek medical help………One deja vu thing is that…while im sulking myself to that delusion, im having a free Sunday afternoon and deciding to read Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Julie appears to have that same PCOS i was sulking about! Oh myy….it happens after she decided to sell her eggs to stranger so that she can pay her bad debt. That book is hella funny..Im still reading it.

Things gets a whole lot better when my menses is finally came. Praise to Allah.

I went to my cousin wedding last Saturday at kampung. My kampung is in Tapah walaupun rumah arwah Tok Yah dah takde, we still went there if theres any occasion/wedding mostly. Ok all these hanky panky of kenduris……….come to one thing that shocked me big time.Kak Intan is my kakak sedara yang i can talk to. Im sorta a shy girl among my fathers side of family. I dont know why, just that.. i looked back when i was kid, im kinda loner and dont talk much..and do not meet them much. On my late mothers side lain sebab i always see them and dekat. But as we aged, we have to suit ourselves up lah kan.. One thing i noticed, after my mother passed away, Ayah selalu bring me to kampung, thats why i boleh la get along sikit, plus my disaster strike dulu tu, it happens to be the reason we talk and feel the attachments. See…ada banyak hikmah. Praise to Allah. Ok back to the ‘shocked big time’ thingy..

What you do if someone compliment you in an unusual way….Unlike any other..and the person doesnt even know you and the person has no “that” interest. An old man told kak intan that he like looking at me..Kinda ada light reflected back, like an easy going person and would like to cari someone for me…Ok i am in noo wayy to ‘jump into the basket and pull it myself” but that makes me flatter. and…oh..it uplift me to retain that perception. Praise to Allah.

 

Everybody is posting this on FB.Heres the trailer of Indespicable Me 2 singing Banana Potato, a remake from The Beach Boys : Barbara Ann. I love classics….they are (obviously) never goes out of style. Semalam im posting a video of The Beatles singing Blackbird. Kurt Hummel did a remake of that song in Glee..beautiful song. I love how a song is simple and preach love and isnt about durrty thing.

these minions are the cutest. they speak gibberish with a hint of english and french.

Oh, Ain hand me over some of things i asked her to buy at UK. Saje nak try Soap and Glory…i loveeeee it. I cuma ask her to buy the gift pack “Soapers Heroes” which include travel size of Clean on me, Glad Hair Day, Flake Away, Righteous Butter and Girligo Body Spray. The smell is to die forrr!! Its not overpowering yet sweet and womany and almondy. The fact that it leaves my bathroom and bedroom a great scent makes me wanna buy real sized of them..I like “Clean on Me” most. Nanti boleh scoot over to Sephora KLCC/Pavi. Harga dia reasonable.

And plus Ain gave me this

She got it for free anywayss. Havent tried it yet but i will tonight because i have a movie date…..with Ain..haha. Dragging her to watch ‘This means War’. Luckily ada Chris Pine so dia agree…

Tiba-tiba teringin nak baca Wuthering Heights..I’ve been accidentally bump into many verse of ppl mentioning it and now i’d like to read it. Wuthering Height is a novel by Emily Bronte. I used to read Charlotte Bronte’s title dulu. Emily is her lil sister.Ok nak cari kt BookXCess (turns out ada!)..I baru tau tempat nii haritu pergi nak beli buku Rumi sebenarnya tapi i buy Julie Julie and one self help book plus tolong Azie buy her Sophie Kinsella’s title. Murahhh gile….semua tu each Rm17.90 only, termasuk Wuthering Heights yg i nak cari.

Im truly hooked by Rumi. Rumi is America’s best selling poet. Good to know..:) He is 13th-century Persian, Muslim poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic. It could be the greatest da’wah through poem that he wrote. Its beautifully put. I got my daily dose of Rumi quote in facebook. [For Rumi, religion was mostly a personal experience and not limited to logical arguments or perceptions of the senses. Creative love, or the urge to rejoin the spirit to divinity, was the goal towards which every thing moves.] wiki

Flatters in chest. Butterfly in tummy.

I am torn between this two…..

 

 

 

Whereas at the same time.. my N97 dah fully functional.. Alhamdulillah..

“Oo baby baby

Lagu untuk my baby N97.hahahah sebab ive been abandoning her sejak pakai Cece’s blackberry. And ever since i rasa best pakai Blackberry. Professional la kan.

ps : Ada sales kt Wardrobe2u kajang dia jual empire kurung cantikkkk sekarang ada clearance Rm50-60 sahaja. ori price Rm200++

Fairytale theme annual dinner

Assalamualaikum..

My dear friend Zu asked me whether i could be her partner in her company;s annual dinner..I’d say yes sebab its themed dinner..So i have decided to be a……

RED RIDING HOOD.

So here’s some pic of Amanda Seyfried in the movie

The reason why i choose this character sebab…senang to replicate and i wanna sew the hood cloak myself..inshaAllahh..and its aurah-compliance..i can wear inner neck inside..and also i dont have to pening2 kepala to think how to style my tudung. And… also i remembered of this

Yuna looks good init. I can make the sleeves if rajin.

The plan is to buy a red velvet fabric..maybe 4 metre, I will lend cece’s white dress (the dress is sexy so kena pkai inner/nice cardi/white jacket), I alredy have an army green boots tapi peep toe..takpelah..then i will figure to use something green on the waist tu..It maybe a belt, a fabric..im not sure. And a red lips…am soo crazy over red lips. makeup sendiri je, use fake eyelashes and buy the eyebrow mascara.

Zu is dressing as fairy, Aya as tinkerbell and hanan as peter pan..Aya doesnt know im going..i actually want to surprise her. Hopefully this plan dia tak tahu. ;p

Last thursday night.

I have somekind of guilt if keluar on thursday night. You know what i mean kan..

Ok turns out semalam i went to Times Square tp catch Twilight Breaking Dawn Pt 1.  I used to be Twi-hard tapi dah slow down entah kenapa. Good for me. haha. Pergi pun sebab cece nak pergi. Ask lia sekali. Plan asal nak pergi Big Bad Wolf cancel sebab takot tak sempat tgk movie.

Went there, ada lagi tixs, they’re having 2 hall screening at the same time. Then my phone died.Sampai kena pinjam phone strangers to call cece. But now dah ada Blackberry, cece bagi pinjam up till i got phone baru or figure out nak repair this N97.

I went shopping before the movie. Oh best gile shopping sini dah lama dah tak buat. I bought omg semua cute (ok i sounded retard)

BnW Polka dot tube, peachy knee-length summer dress, Empire cut electric blue blouse with frills , Teal green empire blouse saloma cutting (This my absolute fav) and harem pants. And the whole damage 4 baju and 1 pant only 63MYR.

Ok lepas tu baru tgk movie. urm ok la..i would rate it 3/5..I like her wedding dress, the Isle Esme mmg cantikk, Jacob brtambah hensem i think. I like the transformation Bella to become a vampire. Costume designer best.

Ok random betul post ni.

Bella swan wedding dress now available. Of course it will...more info

Bella and Renesmee

ps: My body has imprinted  Chymara’s Body Shop. I feel good in it. ;p

AL-MAJMU’US SARIFUL KAMIL

Firstly i saw this book at Popular bookstore Jusco Cheras Selatan. Tengok, ohh rm10, murah..bagus isinya.Last2 tak beli.

Then i saw my friend Ummu ada on her study desk. I thought..yeah ummu ada, it must be good. Nak beli lah.

Then baru semalam i beli at MPH Midalley. Bought together with mini terjemahan quran. Both very petite size and i like it soooo much. And seriously, murah. Tolong jangan berkira nak beli islamic book and quran. Beli twilight series boleh, islamic book kenapa teragak2. Ok sebenarnya i rarely buy books pun. ;p

AL-MAJMU’US SARIFUL KAMIL is a compilation of full surah (yg byk fadilat and kelebihan), dua, zikr, asma ul husna. Seriously i think ini book yang complete and satisfy my needs sebab i’d like to recite certain part of verses and surah but there’s time i dont bring the quran, whereas my quran is big in size, not so very handy. And there also some dua yang i’d really like to hafal…is in there..So macam truly SuperPack book to me. The wording is clear and the color sesuai, tak sakit mata, senang baca. I got banyak dua books at home tapi those tak mash up together. I mean..dua books lain, yasiin lain, surah2 pilihan buku lain, asma ul husna buku lain…So,  tak praktikal and contented.

Then it make me think..I like it soooo much, it would be a great gift kan to others. If someone give it to me, mashaAllah it’ll be the best gift ever and im going to remember that person for the longest time. hehe. Ok over but serious…it at least satisfy my needs. tapi diff people diff needs kan..But it truly come from my hearts if i were about to give to my friends.

Dont you think it would be great as a wedding gift?? I know its quite pricey tapi boleh bagi to VIP guest/main table occupants. Main table maybe around 10-20 pax je. I saw it online (it was originally from Indonesia), dekat bandung can get from as low as myr4. The cover is in silver or gold, sesuai for wedding. Banyak pahala you can gain if you give it to others and they practice it.. you will continuously gain the pahala. How beautiful kan.

Oh dia ada 3 sizes kat MPH, smallest size is myr6, medium (as i bought) is myr10, big size pun same price myr10.

Some of the content (nak salin semua tak tersalin). It has 431pages.

  • Fadhilat section – fahilat jumaat, membaca quran as whole, membaca part of the surah. The best thing, the surah is full :  surah yaasinn, kahfi, as-sajdah, ar-rahman, al-waqiah, nuh, mulk, muzammil, naba,muawwizat and more and ayat hafalan
  • Zikr and doa section – all types of salawat, and dua
  • Tahlil, talkin and perlaksanaan jenazah
  • Sunah, Zikr and dua sekitar tidur
  • Sunah, Zikr and dua sekitar solat
  • Asma ul-husna

Bandung Day One

i hate that Aya always had this tourist shot!

Me, My sister and my friend, Aya. 3 woman trying to make it big in Bandung..cea poyos kan..trying to be light-adventure travellers.

Flight 0945 from LCCT

Arrive 1200 at Hussein Sastranegara Airport

Took an airport cab to the hotel(cost Rp40,000 quite expensive).. From my itinerary, i thought i would had a chance to go to Gazebo but since it closed at 1pm and people would be jammed pack, we head to hotel first.. I brought a big empty luggage ( Takkan nak berjalan bawak luggage pula kan). the taxi driver were confused about the road to the hotel (its quite downtown, not in a city center). It took 10-15minutes to get to the hotel. I choose Hotel Ardellia because of the price, easy transportation and recommendation by forumers from CARI. The rate? Rp220,000 for standard room B with air-cond, hot shower, breakfast. Very warm welcome from the receptionist and the staff.

the lobby

view from the top..the little koi pond

After solat and such, we headed to Jalan Riau (actually  i totally lost my itinerary and the two peep just follow me..hehe). We use angkutan kota which is the main public transport for Indonesian. The charge? Rp1000-Rp3000 per head.

angkut gots lots of colour

For angkut route, you can refer here angkutan

Even if you do not print the route…still.. its not hard to cope with this transportation… A lot of angkut available on the road and the driver would be more pleasure to help you with the route and places you were not familiar with. Plus, the passenger itself were very helpful.. Sundanese are nice group of people<— I kept on hearing this before..so its true.

me n my sister inside angkut

We had our lunch at Riau Junction Shopping mall food court and had Nasi Lengkong, Mee Koclok and Nasi…( i dont remember)

Mee koclok

This i dont remember but really nice

Nasi Lengkong

the drinks about Rp6000

The best find is the Belgian Waffle Durian.. Its soooo delicious..I never like durian like i love it like this.. The waffle mix is durian and topped with durian ice cream….To die forr….(no pics sadly)

So after the tummy happily comfort we went to FO Riau & FO Dago

Heritage

another durian-modified food

melts in your mouth durian ice cream

I didnt do much shopping at the FO. To me it was quite pricey, the brand is so-so…the best find is the MNG Basic blouse price Rp75,000 at Renaritti, Jln Riau. Renaritti got nice selection plus this Indonesian designer’s Yasmin if im not mistaken..it was one of a kind design..

The rain restrict us so much on the walking and time..since we do not hired supir. While waiting for the rain to stop i did buy these..from the paparazii chasing you ALL the time..they will ask and do muka kesian for you to buy every damn thing they sell…seriously its annoying to think about but from another side, at least they’re not doing bad things, for the sake of cari makan…

flip foldover parachute cute bag..pfft Rp100,000 for 10pcs free 5 summore

About 8pm we went to FO DSE  near Jl Dago and buy the kartu telepon to calls/sms malaysia

telco shop..near DSE

FO DSE has lower price tag than any other FO..But its more like a Reject Shop to me..I bought a white long sleeves shirt price only Rp35,000.

The its rain again…We went to Restoran Simpang Raya Nasi Padang Jalan Dago..

yamsengg

these all what we had......

Just after you put ur butt on the seat, they will be more than 15 dishes serve to you right away, together with nasi panas and chinese tea..Well for those yang kebulur memang menantikan service like this..You will be charge by the plate you took.. Each plate cost around 7,000-15,000 depaends on the lauk. Total tummy pleasure Rp110,000 for 3 person. Oh plus Jus Alpukat= Avocado Juice and Corn Juice..ewww..hehehehe. The juice here beyond expectation u know….Very pure

We went back to hotel by angkot near 10pm

angkutaholics..hehehe

Finish day 1…This is the most tiring day..i dunno why..

Cont

Chanel bags

Out of nowhere I suddenly fall in love with chanel…The quilted stitching pattern handbags. last time i always tot that this is ugly..

timeless

I read sumwhere that Mischa Barton is the chanel queen..its like she’s so into the bags..she almost have all the collection

Bandung got eh this kind…..:))))

Yesterday I went to Tesco..found this Chanel alike replica but no 2 C’s whatsoever..its plain black but quilted, gold with black leather  shoulder strap…veryyyy nice…I need a small shoulder bag..Sick of carrying large tote/hobo.

Chanel is timeless and suits all.its a good investment( that came out wrong but girls u know what i mean). Investment because chanel price could go up to 3k.

ps: hantaran bagi Chanel mmg laaaa terbaikk

pps: i dun understand why Ed Hardy shirt is soo sickerly pricey…For rock chic ok la but now its become phenomena alredy. So annoying looking at those prints…….

Weekends project

Apart from being my sister’s driver, I successfully fulfill my weekend by doing new things by not even leaving home-Painting and sewing!! I feel so good to sew kitchen’s curtain and do the cabinet curtain using the same fabrics i made the table cloth.

25102009067sorry for the bad lighting caused by camera phone

Weehee..1 out of 4 piece i made..But mom help me to fix some of the sewing machine troubleshoot..I really dont understand the mechanics of it. My mom back home for a quick break, she’s off to Langkawi this evening.

Then i paint my IKEA frame into white. Want to make it rusty but fail..Thehehe. And i picked old frames and wrap a Kenley-inspired cloth into it.I made 2 wall art deco.

There’s many leftover of this fabric so I made a large wristlet and a toiletries pouch..

p/s : Went to Giant Warehouse Sales. Giant shower cream 500ml priced rm2.

House chores

Household chores seems to be my recent favourite tiring thing.

I believe that you have to be a smart buyer when it comes to household item, so that you wont pay through your nose!

I’m looking for table cloth yesterday at fabric store and tesco. Tesco have this PVC table cloth priced rm17.90.I didnt buy because im looking for flowery englisy gardeny.

Because my table is round..so its kinda hard to find.

Then i went to Nagoya textile store and saw all affordable but nice looking fabric for curtain. There’s a flowery english garden feeling pattern. The price rm3.80/meter. So I only bought 3 meters.(I really dont know it fits my table or not firstly. I start thinking i had to sew it somehow). I also found very-Kenley like pattern fabric. It was purple, pink, big flower. Really gorgeous!Perfect for my room curtain or deco fabric/wall art.It priced rm9.80/meter.

Back home i cut the fabrics i bought smaller than the actual size but still covering the round table. Seems that my cutting are perfect so i dont need to sew it around.Padahal malas nk jahitt

I’m gonna buy sommore metres for the kitchen.For the curtains and the cabinet cloth. Omg, I really have good feeling!

I need 2 chair to mix-match with current chair. I was thinking small half-round bench for 2 without a back support.. Aww it perfectt. Where can I get those? I wish i have my own carpenter!!

Ikea’s price are totally mad for single chair..My likable one were all above rm100/piece!

My newly ceiling lamp has functioned. Thanks to Abg Din for installing it just now.

Im gonna look for some mattress after work. My superior always reminds and awakes me to value and appreciate parents. Gives surprise to them and the’ll love it. A new mattress might be good for them because as for my parents, they’ve been using the same mattress since my sister got married that is 15 years ago! Sorry for the long wait….i’ve been wanting to do this earlier..Alas, this is for the good of the spine bebeh.

As my financial status is not so stable right now, and quite tight too this month, i aint gonna buy a handsome luxury mattress divan set thousand something walawehh..I’ll look for something good enuff but still affordable.

Till i jot down here again
