I'm home alone sick. The rest out to Geylang!!And it's raining heavily. I have been having fever since yesterday and I still have it till now. After work, just now, I went straight to Ikea to buy more utensils. Shivering like crazy despite the mild windy weather, I was pushing the trolley through Ikea. Well, I was leaning against the trolley for support actually. Lucky tak pengsan ok!

As you know, 2moro is Hari Raya, and I'm not enjoying it that much! I was half alseep when I heard Takbir..And I was reminded of all the people that I love. Be it deceased or living. I remembered the happy moments we had together. The sorrow we went through together. Guess I am just emotional.

I was reminded of the happy moments that I had with Bapak. Right from beginning of fasting month. I would helped him pasang the lightings. He would come home, and instruct us to help him here and there. The late night supper of Pratas as Sahur. He would wake us up around 2 or 3 in the morn, telling us that he bought Prata. I would give the world to have that again. But Allah loves him more.

I remembered my grandma. The morning of Hari Raya, she will be sitting at her usual spot in the living room, wearing new Batik. Seeing her smile as she all her anak2, cucu2 and one and only cicit scattered all around the living. Asking for forgiveness from each other. She never failed to smile, despite the pain. May she be in a better place.

On a brighter note, house is ready to welcome relatives and guests. I will be having a small SBUX Hari Raya Open house and a bit of celebration for Kaori's bdae. She's turning 25 in about an hour. Mom will be continue to cook 2moro for my special guests, Kaori's parents. The rest of SBUX will be here too. I so can't wait.

This year, Hari Raya will be a Mak Long's. Since grandma passed away early this year, we figured it's only fair that we gather @ Nenek's eldest child. So will be going there around 11. But will be coming home around 2 plus to prepare for the rest of the dinner for SBUX. And now, I just finished inputting moeny into the envelope. Hope this will be enough.

Birthday wish for Kaori.

Ok, I am officially sick. I got into a cab at my workplace sharp at 1800 and went straight to bed! I can't shower to cool myself off because of rebonded hair..Ok, my hair...Rebonded cut short a bit and high lights. More like low lights actually. Didn't want to make it that obvious. Since I am sick kan, my picture is bloody ugly cos I sort of just rolled out of bed and I didn't even bother to make it nice nice. And my hair is bloody flat!

Woke up at 1 in the afternoon, just in time to see my mom came home from work. And so, I got up, turn on the lappy and start to clean house. Not much of a success cos I was very tired. I only managed to change curtain, cushion covers and laundry. I wasn't really in a mood to clean up. So most of the time, I was in front of my lappy chatting away with my friend. Haha! It's a pity he is not in Singapore to celebrate Hari Raya. Kesian dia..Sabar ok! about 2 r 3 weeks to go...

Later in the afternoon, Ibu and Mira went to buy new pillows. I was left at home alone but I just couldn't bring myself to fold clothes. It's becoming a mountain. Maybe I'll do it soon. And so, I just sat and watched tv. And, by 8, I was asleep. At 10 woke up feeling hungry. So after fetching Malin and paying Zakat Fitrah, I ordered Mac. Hungry la! Hehe!

Then, when we got up, an hour later, I realized that I have forgotten to take the receipt from AXS machine! How lame can I be!

Ok. I don't have a life now and I need to fold clothes.

Hello people...End of the work week...That is if I don't have to come in 2moro!!Haha. Here I am, sitting at my desk during lunch while the rest of the girls are having a make-up thing down at first floor. I was registered but just can't be bothered. Why? Malas la nak blajar make up! Just as long as you don't look like a clown it's ok kan? Hehe...

I so need to have a break! Can we go somewhere now please? I'm so tired of work and home. Even my cat knows not to disturb me! Haha!

Was at work till 9 plus yesterday. It was such a long day yesterday. I have so many orders and some of my pending orders were delayed due to Hari Raya. Do you know that Msia have a road ban during festive season? Meaning, no large trucks are allowed in or out of Msia. Yes! And I have to make so many phone calls so that my shipments will be delivered on time. SBUX Singapore was calling and so was SBUX KOR. I was officially in hell! Peter called me to ask what happened. Willie called to ask what had happened. All kinds of planner called me to check if the Xmas Promo has been arranged! What the hell? I know I have to arrange lots of shipment and I'm not the only one doing it. But they have to gimme time man! T-I-M-E! What, is that word not in their dictionary? Yes, I was royally pissed yesterday!

By the time I get back home, I have 2 sisters to face. They were generally in a good mood. But I wasn't that much. Went online for a while before I decided that I better sleep before the vein in my head pops..

And so today, it was raining oh so heavily and I just didn't want to wake up! But being the loyal-to-work person that I am, I struggled to wake up, shower and head off to work. Reached work and was prepared to fight with anyone that crosses me! Thank god, no one did! Everybody so nice to me, how to get mad! Haha! So by 12 plus, I was able to smile, laugh and even talked in a normal tone.

Now that I have the time to relax a bit, I'm gonna start on my work and hoping against hope that there will not be another hiccup at work.

Pray for me beautiful people! Love Love!!

I came back today with the worst headache anyone could have. But of course, I will never show it to people. People will bug me to go doctor. I just don't want to be bugged right now. I do not to need to have people nagging at me constantly. One more thing, I do not like people to tell me that my friends are a bother. If it's bothering you so much, you move. Cos it seems that you are the only one that is bothered. No one else.

Life @ work is getting tougher and tougher and I really hope we get replacements soon. You see, Wendy is leaving and it is not good. Why? Because I will be taking over Philippines. Another demanding MBU. Why must all be pushed to me, I wonder. Maybe because I am just bloody tough at work! Haiz...I really hope that we'll get replacements soon or I might just breakdown.

Social life has been fun. Friends and family is all OK except for some hiccups. But then again, there's no such thing as a perfect life, isn't there. An old friend came back into my life. Other than that, life is pretty much normal. Even though I rarely go out with my friends, we are in constant touch. So everything is normal.

Love life? Zero!

I was on leave yesterday. Don't ask why. Just wanted to stay home. Hehe! And so, I cleaned up a bit and cooked for Mom and Mira for breakfast. Entertained Myn for a while over the phone. Won't say what is it about but really hope you'll get it babe!! Can't wait!!!! OK side tracked a little. Sweet sour Chicken for them and KFC for Malin and me. Hehe!! The planned was to have Iftar with Fahmy and Malin. But since, Fahmy was on MC, he needs to rest, not to mentioned that he can't go far.

And so, at almost 6, Malin and left for IT Funan Mall. We ordered for Jessie and Kaori as well while waiting for them to come. By the time we brought the foo o our table, Azan berkumandang! And so, we break fast and all, catching up with work life, Malin and the other to girls getting to know each other better.

45 minutes later, we headed to Peninsula as Jessie and Kaori wanted to shop for skinny jeans. After walking for about an hour to look for it, we ended up at the first shop we went to that evening and they bought their much desired jeans. Then we all decided to walk to Bugis, getting a bit lost along the way, we had to stop and call Fahmy for directions. And while we are stopping, why not? Take pictures la. Hehe!! Bugis was not that crowded so it wasn't hat bad. But it was very hot, considering that I was wearing that Bolero! But we continued walking through the string of shops. Jessie and Kaori bought earrings. Jessie, a dress and Kaori 2 necklaces. Me and Malin don't really feel like spending so we just tagged along!

After about an hour there, we decided to head off to Geylang, as Mom and Mira wants to buy some Kuih Raya from Raja Kuih. We took the train there. Jessie was unable to follow us as it was already late and the fact that she live in Toa Payoh doesn't really permits her to stay too long in the east area. God knows what time she will reach home if she were to follow us o Geylang yesterday.

It was Kaori's first time there. To experience Geylang as it is in Ramadhan is very thrilling. Not a lot of things can be found during the other 11 months of the year, especially the kuihs....As we walked through the good food, colourful clothes and furniture, I pointed out and explained to Kaori of our traditional clothes, where it was originated and when do we put it on. She seems fascinated, and I hope my explanation was good enough. She had henna done on her hand. Malin was leading us to Dendeng the whole way. While trying to locate a dendeng store, we bumped into Myn and Family. Kaori introduced herself in Malay and Myn's Mom just laughed. Can't help it la. She is just cute when she does that. Even Malin had to laugh. And so, we bought Dendeng and let Kaori taste it. She said it taste like Salami. Haha!!

Met mom around 11 plus to buy Kuih. We bought Almond and Cashew Sugee and Prawn popiah (my fav!!). Kaori had a hard time if she wanted to get the Sugee or not. She got it in the end. She also bought a top from First LAdy. It's not really my type but she's the one buying it. Time flies fast and it was already midnight. So we had supper. What else?? PRATA!!!! Hehe!!
Ended the day around 1 am. So tired but it was all worth!! Picures!! Rest at Multiply.

Happy first birthday to my sweetums, Anaqi Shurahbeel. Love you
Anaqi!

First day of work and first day of fasting after a week of not. It was not as hectic as I thought it would be. Despite the fuzziness in my head, I was able to survive the day without a hitch. During lunch, went to Signature to sign up for running every Monday. So we went there to take our height, weight, BMI and all. I am slightly over weight. Hehe! Need to really shape up man! I really hope to at least 5 to 6 kg. Not over the fasting month la, but I'm giving myself about 2 month to lose these extra baggage. Hehe.

Today, the day I have been hoping for. Iftar with my Malay colleauge, Maz. It was just the 2 of us. Reservation at 1830, Swensens, Changi Airport T2. Been such a long time. We were so famished. I ordered Salmon and mushroom in cream sauce and she ordered breaded chicken. Hehe! Then there was the Calmari Rings. And yeah, there was desserts. Hehe. We talked about our past, present and what we planned for the future. We talked so much that when it was Azan, we didn't even realized it! Hehe. Even while eating we were talking, getting to know each other better. She and I both, have our dark spots in life and hoping to continue life as brightly as we can. It was so much fun to have a colleauge who has went through as much as I do! I hope we will have more of these times in the future. Thanks Babe for the time!! Not much pictures taken as my camera died on me. So bo pain, gotta take picture with my miserable mobile.

Been a week of tough times. Work was hectic due to Xmaz Promo allocation. We need to allocate like 10 thousand stuff!!! Aric and Suken was not in the office for Thurs and Fri, so me and Wendy was left with alot of things to solved. Not that it was hard. Just that we all have a lot to do. Haha! But Alhamdullilah, everything went well. Only that I din have time to send shipment log as I have like one million things to do.

Life sucks too! My pool plan with Sam was cancelled as she had some dance lesson to go to. And my Iftar session with Maz was postponed. It will be this coming Monday. Hopefully, it will not be cancelled this time! I'm having such a boring time out! I can't go running cos it's fasting month. I'm cooped up at home almost every night! I need a life!!

So today, Lulu and I woke up around 10 plus to go buy paint! Yeah, been 2 years since I've painted my house. This year it's smoky. Anyone else who's gonna open their mouth and say it's white, I'm gonna kill them!! It's smoky ok!!

Ok ok. Wishing Happy Birthday to Mohd Fahmy, my future bro-in-law!

It's been almost 2 years since I've known you and I am glad that you are the one
to give my sister happiness! Welcoming you to our family is among one of the
right decision that Malin and my family has ever made! I hope that you and Malin
will have a happy life together and make sure you gimme lots of clowns to
entertain me in the future!

I was talking was about mood swings yesterday and today I got my menses. Woke up for Sahur. 10 minutes to Imsak, I went to the toilet to smoke. And I was having my menses!! Damn, there I thought that I could fast one month, thinking it wouldn't come this month. But it came. And as a result, I was very very tired.

And so, today I slept the whole day. Woke up twice just to smoke and change. Until about an hour ago, I truly woke up, just to find out after buka puasa, Mom and Mira will be going to Geylang and Malin will be meeting Fahmy. I have the whole house to myself. Been a long time since I have the whole house to myself. So hopefully, I can have some peace.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

This week was tough. Hehe!! Lack of caffeine and nicotine, I was trying very hard to stay awake and also to maintain a happy mood. Luckily, my colleagues were very supportive. Do you know that everyday, I accompanied Sam to eat. Just simply watching her eat. The worst was yesterday, Sam had BK for lunch!! Wah, my favourite!! Alhamdulillah, I wasn't tempted that much, cos she had my least favourite, Whopper I think!!

Last entry, I was mad at Peter. But the anger didn't last long, cos when I called Mira, she bought for me Belgium Chocolate from Coffee Bean. So I wasn't angry anymore. Hehe!! Tak about mood swings!! I think I'll be having my menses soon. Mood swing very rabak...

Anyway, I was very sleepy just now. I went to he toilet to pee and I fell asleep for about 10 minutes in the loo. Yes, bottomless, sleeping, sitting on the toilet bowl! I was just too tired. Only after the quick nap, I was able to work. And so, I continued working, with constant jokes popping from my colleagues and Sam walking to my table entertaining me with her little dances...I'm so blessed to have colleagues that are very encouraging!

Went home as usual, but before that, accompanied Sam at Bedok to wait for time for her to go to meet her friend. So we caught up with our past, separately and together and present...It's just fun to have an old friend!! Haha!!

Ok la..So tired and I hope the next weeks of Ramadhan will be easy on my family and me, Amin...

Peter happily came back from SBUX Singapore with all the coffee. And I din get a cup pun OK!!
Just becasue I'm fasting! Hmph! I'm pissed at Peter. Just a simple, "I'm gonna skip you"!!!!
