Hari Raya

The Hari Raya is not as splendid this year. My shifts screwed BIG time. Governor is going against me! Purposely plot me night & afternoon shift till next week! I couldn't even find the time to visit my close relatives, let alone my friends. I'm just so pissed with the whole situation. Wait till I get back at him! Argggh!

Anyway, I didn't get to go out on the first day. My relatives came over instead coz my grandmom is celebrating Raya at my place, the first time in many years. Thank God I didn't have to work.

Me & Izza. She's my cousin's daughter so that makes me her...auntie?? I ask her to call me "Kak Ain" though. Haha...I'm still young worr.... :)

This is at Obek Edot's place. I begged my mom to come along coz that's the only time I'm available to do visiting this week!

Ayos & I always take pictures together every Raya. It's like...a tradition. Haha! He's my closest cousin! We used to fight a lot when we were kids but I seldom see him now coz both of us are busy busy. (P/s: I hope we can make our trip to Australia happen!)

I went to watch The Departed with Superhero just now. I forgot how gorgeous Leonardo Dicaprio can be! Used to have a huge crush on him back in sec school, to the point of wrapping my textbooks with his pictures! My purse also had a small picture of him & his posters were on my cupboard..including the walls! Gosh..those were the days, man. I think the crush is coming back... Hehe. I'm in love again....with Mr. Leo. Aahh~

Simple Pleasures

I tell you, I just discovered the most delicious Ramly burger! It started when I had a craving for the burger earlier this week. Since there's a pasar malam nearby, I decided to buy one from the stall. As usual, there are many stalls that sell Ramly burger but there's a particular one which has a long queue. Now, Ramly burger is just a beef or chicken patty that is supposedly originate from Malaysia. It can be easily found in pasar malams these days because of the demand. So, for a simple burger stall to have QUEUES compared to the rest....hmmm....must be special! I bought a beef burger for iftar yesterday. And gosh, indeed it's the best Ramly burger by far! The beef patty was fried just nice, loads of mayo, black pepper sauce & there's a a slice of chesse too! When I got home, I added more cheese to make it more ooommph! With every bite I took, the sauces & the cheese just oozes out! Sighs....it's fattening but I couldn't care less. I love good food!

I was surfing the Net the other day & felt like doing online shopping at...Victoria Secret's! Very tempted to buy their undergarments & the frangrances. Anyway, I requested to have a catalogue sent to my home so that I can make a final decision before indulging! Hehe...


Superhero is "hibernating" at home with his assigments the past 2 days. Pity him... So me, being the nice & sweet girl, gave him a surprise by buying slices of cakes from Rive Gauche Patisserie. I personally deliver the cakes to him worr! Superhero was green with envy when I bought the cakes for myself last week. It's my turn to be jealous today... :(

Guanaja (somewhat chocolate mousse & Ferrero Rocher flavour) & Oreo Crunch cheesecake.

I just saw my ex-colleague's profile on Friendster & was shocked by the picture above. It was taken back in 2002, when I was doing my attachment at the Conrad. 4 yrs ago! Tsk tsk tsk...nostalgic. Haha!

My Friends & I!

Governor was nice enough to give me 2 days off this week. The other 1 off day is a substitute for my Deepavali Public Holiday actually. Anyway, I need the time to help my sis with the kuih-making for Hari Raya. So might as well be away from work! Suliana sent me a message to "chop" for either one of these 2 days. She wants to break fast together. As I had no plans today, I dropped by her place...with Superhero joining me much later. :) Ordered Canadian Pizza & Suliana's friend, Nur, fried chicken nuggets for us! We watched Siti Nurhaliza's vcd too. Shiok!

Suliana & Nur. We all stood by while Suliana was busy mopping her kitchen floor.

Superhero tries to play the piano but apparently, he didn't attend any prior lessons before..

So he looked around for help....

Then comes the real pianist! Hehe~

Suliana & I just realised that we haven't been taking much pictures together..so Superhero shall be our photographer for a bit! We posed at the sofa...

Then we turned back and faced in front...It's exciting to see Superhero rolling his eyes at we girls!

The bright orange wall helps a lot! Just like in studio, Superhero said. Hmmm...what a day to take pictures. I didn't put on make-up & I just wore T-Shirt & bermudas! Suliana too!

This neoprint was taken back in 2001, before she got married! Gosh... we looked so studious then! I think we both look better now.. Haha. I've known her since 1996 & that's like 10 years already! She's someone who knows what I'm thinking or feeling without me having to tell her. The power of a best friend. :)

********************************************

Like I said in my previous entry, I visited Fizah's new place last Saturday. Hassan was sweet to buy we girls chicken rice for buka. It was from those stalls that pack their rice in a cardboard kinda box. Yummy! So classic~

Fizah's new abode is so comfy! Not that my home is not comfy enough larr, but I wanna have my own place too! Can't wait for that! Hehe~

Down With Boredom Syndrome

My legs are aching..I drag my feet when I walk. Must be from all that standing on my heels for more than 8 hrs at work. Comtemplating to save money to get ISqueeze..but I wanna go holiday! Liah, Nick & myself planning to go to Genting & KL next month. Honestly, I don't really like Genting. I'm not into those rides. But oh well, for the company & the fact that I need a short getaway badly....I'll just go ahead with the trip. Pray hard that the Governor will approve my leave.

I came across a blog by this Malay girl last week. She writes simply & I enjoy reading her blog coz there are many pics! I envy her life though. Seems quite well-to-do, everything is going good for her & she has a great hubby too! I told Superhero about it & we agree to work harder towards our goals! :)

I haven't been doing much these days. I was working night shift the past 6 days. That explains why I'm lazy to blog. I did some highlights on my hair yesterday. Cost me $130!!! Superhero was shocked of course, not by the colour but the price! Haha..But if it makes me look and feel good, then why not? The money is from my own pocket anyway. Hmmm...what should I do later? It's my off day! Maybe going to the all new Vivo City or drop by Geylang with Superhero. I don't think I'm buying any new baju for the upcoming Hari Raya. I altered my 4-years-ago purple kebaya for a whooping $52! So I told Superhero, we must go purple this year!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Maria & I shall visit Fizah's new abode! I dream to have my own place one day too...hehe.

More updates later.. :)

Free & Easy

It's my day off today. Friends are working & Superhero got his project to do. I guess I'm used to spending my day off by myself. I woke up at 1.30 pm & made an appointment to visit Dr Tan at 3.30 pm. I complained to him that I have some pimples popping out at the side of my face. He did a round of laser & finally, IPL! I guess I was too anxious during the session. The nurse told me to relax but I just couldn't! I jumped whenever the light flashes. Haha...the nurse even joked that if I frown too much (I was closing my eyes very tightly), I have to worry about wrinkles the next time. :)

Then, I realise I forgot to get something at Mustafa Centre the other time. So, since I'm so free, I decided to drop by Mustafa again just now. I've been searching for this item online & major stores around town but I found it at Mustafa instead! Even my mom's massage oil, which is hardly sold in pharmacies, can be found in Mustafa. I'm greatly impressed! I think I'll shop there often now...Hehe.
