i cant wait for tomorrow..it will be my official last day with my present employers..yay!!..i cant wait to sit at home & shake my legs..however i cant rejoice yet cos khalil expects me to be up & working again soon..my days as a tai tai will be so shortlived..hmmpphh..still,i shall make the most of my non-working days by doing some baking..yup...some brownies & maybe muffins..for a certain pesky cuz-in-law..yes..u...u know who u are.. :-p
my voice test last week went fine..it was followed by a written test & afterwards,the panel interview..the written test was horrible..how do u answer the qns in perfect malay..like, "Siapakah Condoleeza Rice?" & "Apakah OIC dalam bahasa Melayu?"..that was the day i found out my knowledge in curent affairs totally sucked..bigtime!!..the interview was worse..& i think worse is an understatement..the interview was horrendous..they ask me in their oh-so-puurrffeecct malay.."Apakah pendapat anda tentang kegenjotan politiks di Indonesia?"..i was like...what...???..i was at mediacorp radio from 9am till 4pm & for one second thought that i might still have a chance..but sadly,apart from the voice test i can kiss the producer-presenter position goodbye..haiihh...
ouh..anna & i have decided to start an online baking biz..we are currently collating cake recipes & anna will be incharge of marketing them online as in the website & all..so exciting sia..ehehehe..
tats all for today..i shall leave u guys with some pics taken during eid mubarak..
till the next entry..bye

its the eve of eid mubarak & i'm behind my desk slogging my ass off as its towards the end of the month & i've got lotsa stuff to settle..other companies give their staff 1/2 day off whilst i got to work the full 8 hours...?where's the justice in that..?reason being we're shorthanded..uuggghhh..so unfair can?
niwaes today is my most beloved aunt's birthday..she was the person who religiously took me & my cousins to all the Disney movies,the Moscow circus & omni theatre when we were younger..she was the one who painstakingly tutor me (the mathematically-challenged one) in Maths when i was in primary school all the way to my O'levels..she was also the one who never gave up hope on me despite the fact that all odds were against me..i am what i am today partly because of everything she has ever done for me ( after my mum)..& i so love her for that..so here,Happy Birthday Teba kusyg..i LOVE u more than i'll ever be able to show..
i just finished chatting with anna on msn & anna,trust me on this,i know what you're going through..& really,i am not saying all this just for the sake of it but i've been in your shoes..i wouldnt say my situation is the same or worse off than urs but i can say that it is almost similar..but for mine,things do work out in the end..for you, my advice is to be patient..the wheel is definitely round & what goes ard will come ard..these ppl will get their fair share of retribution..nvr mind those pretentious,backstabbing twits who agonizes others with their foul-mouthed crap..they are just no-lifers with nothing better to do..so yea,u're much better than that..i should know..although our friendship have been brief,i have gotten to know u much better than i would have ever imagined & this is as honest as its gets..u really rawk la sister & dont let anithing or any goon ever bring you down..
on a happier note..its eid mubarak tomorrow..a time to seek forgiveness,rekindle relationships & its definitely a reason to be able to gorge ourselves silly..sambal goreng & ayam masak merah,here i come..(baby..pls dont make mummy vomit these 2 days can..?)..to all Muslimin & Muslimats out there,a happy eid mubarak to you..Maaf Zahir Dan Batin..
>>>and its just us.... and our shoes.>
just when i thought i might not want to get any clothes for eid mubarak..my mummy dearest bought me an apple green baju kurung..its nice..the colour is like so sweet & i just like the simplicity of the design..in short,thanx mummy.. :)
plus the baju that hambali chose 4 me,i have 2 outfits for the festivities..problem is now i really dont have any bag to match my outfits..really..i dont have a bag to match an apple green baju or a blue one..how??..this is so a fashion emergency considering its only 2 days away to eid mubarak & i'l be working tommorow which is hari raya's eve..working full day some more can..hmmpphh...which means i totally have no time to scout ard for a new bag..how..??...
other than that,the house is finally in order..& i can sit back & relax..although most of the cleaning was done by khalil..i still feel so exhausted..or isit that i am juat plain lazy..haha..whatever it is,i am super relieved the cleaning is done & over with..
i'm looking forward to tuesday..not to anithing else but to hang ard with siti & balie & my reunion with the ketupats..reandang & ayam masak merah!!!

Di sini kau dan aku
Terbiasa bersama
Menjalani kasih sayang
Bahagia ku denganmu
Pernahkah kau menguntai
Hari paling indah
Ku ukir nama kita berdua
Di sini surga kita
Bila kita mencintai yang lain
Mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar
Sebisa mungkin, tak akan pernah
Sayangku akan hilang...
If we love somebody
Could we be this strong
I will fight to win
Our love will conquer all
I wouldn't risk my love
Even just one night
Our love will stay in my heart
My heart...my heart...

my evening with darling siti was a blast..it was nothing more than the usual gossips..laughs & not forgetting her nonsensical antics..we first went to Tangs to get her overdue birthday prezzie..she settled for some MAC stuff then we headed down to ramen ten to break our fast..i had my favourite spicy dry salmon ramen & tom yum ramen for her..afterwards, we walked to wisma & taka in search for that perfect pair of heels that would look stunning for eid mubarak..
we only had two shops in mind..pazzion & novo..we first went to pazzion..yes,they have beauti-fool shoes that i would love to purchase but sadly, none were eid mubarak material..they were more on the casual wedges & meant-for-office pumps..disappointed with their range, we walked over to taka to try our luck at novo..novo was apparently much better..after looking at rows & rows of shoes..my heart finally settled for a pair of 3-inch strappy nude pink heels..siti was like "isnt that too high for a pregnant woman.."..but lets look at it this way..i'm only 2 mths pregnant & my tummy has yet to show so i think i can still afford to parade about in killer heels..another 2 mths down the road & all i'l be allowed to wear are flats & flipflops..
satisfied with our purchases,we took the super-packed train to geylang..we needed to go to bibik's shop at the malay village as balie has gotten for me a kebarung from there(thanx balie) & my measurement has yet to be taken for the kain..plus siti also needs her baju kurung to be altered as she claims its a little to big for her..done all that we took a cab & headed for home..
with all the preparations for the festivities coming up,i am surprised at myself for not being the least bit excited & stuff..i used to wait for eid mubarak with such anticipation but this year, somehow the mood is just not there..maybe its because i have outgrown all the excitement & i now dread the feeling of having to clean up each time the guests leave my house & now being married, i'm expected to visit all my relatives..no more excuses..dnt get me wrong..i love my lovely cousins & all..i really do..but at the end of the day,i guess visiting is a darn tedious chore..
till my next entry...

I am seriously missing my babe..& yes,that means YOU shik..its been like what..?a month since i last saw u..? & it really doesnt help that now khalil works funny2 shifts..which means i got 2 be at home when he is & u've got classes & wen u've got no classes,you've got assignments & projects..but i'm glad u found someone special that can make u laugh & smile..& i know u're truly happy..i'm really2 happy for you,too dear..i'm not bein a b*tch abt it but i am missing u can.. :-( ..i miss just walking ard aimlessly & gorging ourselves silly & laughing nonstop at anything & everything & commenting abt other ppl..arrrggghhhh..
i am way temperamental these few days..maybe its the hormones that comes with the pregnancy thing or what but every little thing seems to get on my nerves..the food is not to my liking..my colleague is unreasonable..my face looks fat with my hair..& even when khalil tries to cheer me up,i find it a tad too irritating..i'm being difficult,yea?..but i'm not being one on purpose..i just cant help it sometimes..
hopefully my outing this evening with my darling siti will cheer me up a little..her never-ending antics never fails to make me laugh a little tho at times she DOES gets on my blardy nerves..haha..still..i love u,sis..& i know you love me too..hah!
and ouh..after chatting with anna this morning,i realised that i've not went shoe-shopping for like 1 mth ++ already...i've not even went window shopping for shoes for that long!!..been too occupied with being pregnant i guess..but its still not too late right..i might still be able to get a nice pair for eid mubarak..u think..?..but can i still wear heels?..yes i know i'm only like 2 months & my tummy is not even showing yet but they said that the 1st trimester is supposedly at its most fragile stage..but i love heels..!!!!!!..how????..anyone..??

As of 16.10.06,my baby is 8weeks 6days old & is 2cm only..so tiny right?..the very 1st time i visited my gynae,i could hear the heartbeat & see the baby move a little via the ultrasound screen..i was so amazed..Masya Allah..the wonders of God..
Still,i think my baby is a fussy one..refusing to accept whatever I've eaten..e.g..last Saturday i met up fai & flo for breaking of fast..we went to Marina to have some chicken & potatoes..barely an hour after the meal,i had to go throw everything up..wasted sia..then on Sunday,i met up with sarina to tutor her on her insurance exams & after that we had some hawker fare for buke..when i had expensive chicken & potatoes,everything came out but when i ate normal food,it stays in my tummy..isnt that the most peculiar thing..??
i still havent got my baju for eid mubarak..not sure if i'm even getting one in the first place..haiihhh..with the baby on the way & all,i'm not sure if i want to splurge on an outfit that i'm only going to put on only for a few times..still..balie said he'l help me look out for a nice one..& yes..i trust balie's taste..so...can consider..hehe..
anyways..here's a scan of my baby.. =)

..the very first time i tasted a strawberry pavlova was during an office christmas party 2 years ago & the delightful thing was baked by my ex-colleague..then a few weeks after, i ordered the cake from him..(yes,its a HIM who baked it)..the cake was like nothing that i've ever seen or tasted in my entire life..no..its not exaggeration on my part..its the honest truth..the cake was THAT good..
..the first taste was definitely one to remember..there was an explosion of flavours wen i popped a spoonful of the cake into my mouth..the sweet taste of the meringue & oooouuhhh tat cream..topped off with sweet & somewhat tangy strawberries..sinful..i tell u..
..but then..that was 2 years ago & sadly after i left the company,i never got the chance to ever taste that sweet sensation again..until,yesterday..i came across the recipe over the internet..call me a nutcase..but i was soooo overjoyed..
..alas..i get to rekindle my lost love..

I just cant believe how some ppl can be such an ingrate..!!! ..here i am struggling to do my job & covering her duties at the same time whilst she's on a 2 weeks break & the moment she returns,the first thing she does is raise her stupid voice at me..she was infuriated becos i did not take any action on an enquiry that her client emailed her last friday..an enquiry,my ass..!!!!..it was an email with a loooonng list of qns practically asking me abt the entire policy when in actual the fact the client was just going for a simple operation..??!!!..i told the client on the phone that i would reply to the email once i have the time..but point is..i didnt have any time to reply to her email as i was on sick leave from sat-weds..so when i came back this morning,my colleague was pissed as i had not taken any action & she raised her voice at me..i got so blardy mad that shouted back at her..i mean..WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS..?..i've been working my ass off covering her duties to the extend of going home at nearly 8pm last Friday & instead of a simple thanks,wat i got was this!!!!???
i'm not expecting her to be grateful or present me with a token of appreciation..i'm not even expecting her to acknowledge my effort..as colleagues,i believe that i should help out as & wen i can..wen i was on my 2 weeks leave on my honeymoon,did anyone cover any of my duties..??..not a single moron did anything for my side..
..i'm like really super pissed now..this is not the 1st time it has happened..each time she is under pressure by her clients..she'll raise her voice at me one way or another..i'm not being overly sensitive or anything..but wat does she take me for??!!!..
stupid piece of crap..!!..

..my foetus is .O.N.L.Y. 7 weeks old as of today & i'm like already soo exhausted of puking after each meal..i wasted a beautiful dinner with dayah on Monday by vomitting everything out barely 1 hour after the meal..the sight of rice practically makes me sick..i crave for noodles..& spaghetti..& bread..lots & lots of bread..but alas,all those food goes to waste cos just give me maximum 2hrs after a meal & all the glorious food i had consumed earlier would be gushing out of my mouth like a waterfall..heh..gross rite..
..but beneath all this,i am amazed at how another being is actually growing inside of me..i watched the Discovery Channel & at 6 weeks the foetus would already have eyes but w/o the eyelids..the limbs are slowly forming and all this at a mere 1/3 of an inch..the wonders of God..
..each day i wonder..how will things go from here..will the baby be a boy..or a girl..will he/she carry my attributes or follow the genes of his/her father..i really wonder..i hope for a boy tho..
..speaking of girls..
i just dnt understand how some girls can be so full of themselves..self proclaiming to be popular or gorgeous..i mean these titles are often bestowed upon you by others NOT by self-admittance..and the nerve of some goons to actually comment on other ppl when they themselves are of many faults..ugghh..
..ouh on a better note..i made a new virtual girlfren..she was someone i used to loathe because of her arrogant,indifferent face but afterward,i found out that she's cool..here's to a beautiful friendship,yea..
..its been a while since i last met faizah..flo..& shik..fai's planning a dinner next week, i guess..cant wait..till then...
