No Yoga

Ergh.

Seriously. I don't think doing yoga once a week is enough. Dengan tambah benda-benda cani lagi jadi.

Ergh.

I need to do more at home. Alone. Tak boleh just tunggu kelas je.

iLa, please be a bit more rajin, will you?

But, I really was waiting for today's class. Why laa why??? :'(

The Stressful Selasa

Bestnya cuti tiga hari.

Tak bestnya kena masuk kerja lepas cuti tiga hari.

Lagi tak bestnya bila sampai opis kerja melambak-lambak atas meja.

The new Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) from Airbus is out. That means, more work for me from now on. Tak suka tak suka. Haih.. Nasib baik laa setahun sekali. Tolong laa jangan revise banyak-banyak kali wahai Encik Airbus. Penat taww :(

Wescourt called just now. Katanya the bedroom set and the TV cabinet diorang akan hantar Sabtu ni. But the dining set tak boleh. Sebab container tak sampai lagi laa.. apa laa.. katanya end of March baru boleh hantar. End of March??? Aku nak buat apa end of March??? Aku nak pakai middle of March. Kang ene's family datang, takkan nak duduk makan kat lantai pulak??? Ergh. I knew it this thing would happen. Told them to cancel the dining set and send only the two said items. They said okay. Menyusahkan orang laa. Dah kena pergi pusing-pusing cari kat kedai lain pulak. Bummer.

Been trying to call AirAsia hotline sebab nak masukkan nama Aryanna to Amal's ticket. Asik engaged je! Call lagi. Engaged lagi! Ergh. Bil aku rasanya dah deakt RM50 dah nih. Now I know how it feels to call AirAsia hotline. Padan laa ramai orang marah-marah AirAsia. Cani rupanya. Dah penat call, mintak tolong ene pulak call kan. Sweetnya lahaaii bf aku tu.. sepanjang petang dia tolong call kan. Hehe.. lebiu ene.

ene told me most probably memang kitorang akan amik dewan UTM tu. ene's mom tengah dok deal dengan orang UTM tu pasal dewan. They asked to shoot an email saying we want the hall on the 6th of January 2013 as proof of knowledge. Tapi yang peliknya, diorang tak nak amik duit booking. What? Why? Then maknanya, is the hall been secured for us or not? Pening.. pening.. takpela. Tu biar Aunty yang settlekan. Tak nak masuk campur.

Esok yoga. Nice. Tak sabar nak pergi yoga. Tak sabar nak pergi stretch-stretch apa-apa yang patut. Stress terlebih hari ni. Yoga always makes me feel relaxed and at peace.

Chocolate Cake!

I'm on leave today.

Nothing much to do.. saje je amik cuti nak habiskan cuti last year. Ada lagi tiga hari ni. Need to finish it before April. Kalau tak.. burn. Mana boleh! :D

Been thinking to bake some cakes untuk orang-orang yang dok rajin tumpangkan aku. Kesian dorang dok tumpangkan aku, aku tak bayar apa pun. Nak bayar cane, bila bagi, dorang tak nak pulak. Haihh..

I wanted to use the usual Belgian Chocolate Cake Recipe, but I'm kinda bored of it. Plus, it needs to use real melted chocolate instead of cocoa. Budget takde laa banyak mana, kan? :p Intending to bake the cakes using cocoa instead of chocolate bar, I grabbed the recipe file from under the TV cabinet. Korek punya korek, found this recipe Mocha Chocolate Cake. It was supposed to have nescafe and coffee oil in the ingredient. But I omitted it since I don't really like the taste of coffee inside cakes. So, jadi laa just plain simple chocolate cake. The recipe even comes with chocolate ganache! Hehe.. apa lagi.. try la buat. At least, the cakes will look nicer with chocolate topping! :p

One For Ajis, One For Abang Kamal, One For Hawa and One For Eja! :D

I bought the aluminium loaf pan at Daiso (4 pieces for RM5). Ingatkan dah paling murah laa tu. Sekali bila pergi Hot Oven, they sell it cheaper! RM1.10 each. Haih.. rugi di situ. Takpe.

For them at home, I baked it in a bigger aluminium tray with a little twist. Been thinking what to put it for fun, I cut some bananas and put it on top. Then garnish it with some chocolate I found in the fridge. Hehe..

The Before Picture

Looks nice, right. The taste isn't that bad either. Takleh laa nak kalahkan Secret Recipe, tapi kira okay laa. I couldn't coat it with chocolate ganache since ingredient tak cukup pulak. Cukup untuk tiga loaf pan je. Haha.. tak reti budget laa..

Done!

Gambar telah dikekahkan. Hehehe.. tak sabar-sabar nak rasa. Sorry, blur sket. Damn you, camera phone.

Sunday @ The Curve

Dah lama gila tak tengok movie.

Hari ni aku tengok movie. With ene. A romantic comedy, can you believe it? Hehe.. A movie named This Means War. Starring Reese Witherspoon (i like!), Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Actually, ene didn't know that it was a romantic comedy movie. He thought it was an action movie seeing the poster. I knew it was a romantic comedy + very little action scene. (Hehe!) I meant, come onn.. it's Reese Witherspoon, for god's sake. Takkan action movie pulak. =p

ene ended up napping most of the time. I ended up enjoying every second of the movie. It was the kind of movie I like. A bit romantic, more humorous. Love it! Brilliant! Dah lama tak tengok storyline macam ni. Macam boleh tengok second time je.

So, guys. I recommended this movie for you guys pergi tengok. Kalau tak nak tengok dengan boyfriend pun, pergi dengan kawan-kawan pun best!

Our show was at 1.30pm. We were done at 3.00pm. We went to Ikea to have hotdog for lunch. Hotdog lagi. Oh currypuffs juga! A half dozen more =p I just can't get enough of the just-off-the-fryer-puffs!

Later in the evening, ene told me something. Something that made me smile the whole day. He came clean with his boys about our wedding plan. I'm so excited to hear it! They were so surprise and memang tak budget langsung. They thought it would be a next year or another two years plan since ene keep telling them he's not ready to get married yet. Tiba-tiba, tup-tup bagitau nak tunang. Mana laa diorang tak terkejut beruk hehe.

Asked ene why suddenly he decided to come clean with his boys. He said, "Banyak susah dari senang kalau berahsia. Nak discuss susah, nak ajak pergi kursus kahwin susah." Haaa.. tau pun. Hahahaa.. Nasib baik sedar sendiri.

Aprt from that, we were surprised as well. Shah rupanya nak merisik Huda this coming Sunday. Hahaha.. rupa-rupanya he himself has a secret to tell. Ciss.. memang tak nak kalah rupanya. Anyways, we are so happy for him. And the boys are so happy for us as well. Other than some talk about losing some kakis to lepak-lepak, they are good with the plan. Siap dah ada plan nak crash rumah kitorang bila dah kahwin nanti hahaha.. :)

Saturday @ The Curve

Really happy today.

Went to The Curve to meet up with my one of the oldest friend, Arlina, for a drink. Was there around 3.00pm. She came around 3.30pm. We decided to meet up at The Garden. Oh my.. lama gila tak jumpa dia. Ada laa about 5-6 years. Lama, kan? So many things to catch up. Dah lama tak jumpa, macam tu laa. We sat there for about two hours, then went jalan-jalan. I bought a blue black blouse and she bought a blue top at Nichii.

ene came around 7.30pm after his class. Arline left as she had a date with Yan later in the evening. So, ene and I went to Ikea to have hotdogs for dinner. And a half dozen of currypuff. You guys know exactly how it looks like, kan? So, no pictures as we were too hungry to do anything besides eat.

Dinner @ Wong Solo, Bangi

Gado-Gado RM7.50. Picture Taken From Catzscafe

Went home with Leen today. Tumpang dia hari ni. Takyah naik tren. Yeay! She dropped me at the McDonald's, Seri Kembangan since Azila was coming to pick me up for dinner. Dah lama gila tak jumpa dia. Nama je dok dekat.

So after she picked me up, we went to Wong Solo in Bangi for dinner. Finally, I've got to taste Wong Solo's food! Dah lama gila teringin sebenarnya. Tapi location Wong Solo ni semua jauh-jauh dari tempat aku mingle-mingle. Dia ada kat Shah Alam (memang dah lama laa aku tak jeru Shah Alam), Bangi (jauh ler nak datang hanya untuk makan), Ampang (selalu pergi detink tak singgah). Alasan je semua tuh. Nak seribu daya :|

As usual, aku nak makan gado-gado laa bila sampai kat kedai-kedai ayam penyet ni. Belek punya belek menu dia, mak aaaii.. mahal juga Wong Solo ni rupanya. Biasa aku makan Gado-Gado RM4.50 je. Kat sini RM7.50. Banyak woo beza. Nasi putih selalu RM1.50 je, tu pun aku dah rasa mahal. Kat sini RM2.50 :| Bedal laa.. order laa jugak.

Kena la dengan perut aku yang lapar, memang aku belasah laa cukup-cukup Gado-Gado tu. Ya Allah, sedapnyaaa. Kalah Gado-Gado tempat lain. Banyak tempat aku dah pergi. Ayam Penyet Ap dengan Ayam Penyet Ria laa tempat aku selalu pergi kalau tekak teringin sangat nak cari Gado-Gado. Tapi kat Wong Solo ni double triple the tastiness. Serius sedap gila. Dengan kuah kacang dia. Dengan kicap dia. Dengan sambal dia. Fuh. Kicap dia lain tau dari tempat lain. Macam ada tumis-tumis jugak. Bukan kicap plain je. Sambal dia pun bukan sekadar pedas je, siap ada manis-manis. Ergh. Terus rasa lapar. Tak makan saman punya perut.

Read more about Wong Solo, Bangi here and here.

Original Bootcamp: 4th Session (Push It To The Max!)

Today's bootcamp was really tough, I tell you. Penat gila.

I was so exhausted by the time we were done. Satu badan menggigil. We used mock rifles and sandbags for our training regime today. A mock rifle is something like a metal tube filled with sand. Berat okeeey. A sandbag is what their name is, a sandbag. We did most of the same training exercises, only with those things above our heads. Berat tau. Squats, Lunges and stuff.

Overall, I'm really glad Ajis forced me to join. It was such a fun experience. You're having fun while burning all those calories. Hooyahh!!

Yoga: 3rd Class (Glad To Be Back)

Third yoga class for this month. It was supposed to be our fourth class. But, since I was away in Kota Bharu last week, I missed the original third class. Oh well.. Nak buat macam mana, kan? Layankan aje..

I'm really glad to join the class again. I couldn't really wait to come, actually. RIndu sangat nak stretch. Bukan tak boleh buat kat rumah. Tapi kalau buat kat rumah sorang-sorang tu, tak sama macam buat ramai-ramai kat class dengna kawna-kawan. So, basically, dah dua minggu aku tak buat yoga.

I was expecting I would be experiencing a little pain here and there sebab dah dua minggu tak stretch and flex. But, no. I didn't. I'm just enjoying the moves and poses. Tak rasa sakit sikit pun. I guess, I body has adapted to the asanas. I just love yoga! :D

Last two weeks right after bootcamp, I had a talk with Captain Dennis about yoga. I invited him to join yoga just in case he is interested. Tak sangka pulak dia datang. He came with sport shoes and didn't bring any yoga mat. Lupa sangat nak bagitau dia. Haihh.. sorry Captain. Luckily Roha had extra, so he used his.

But, I really didn't expect him to come. Kuat betul semangat dia. Eventhough he looked really suffered and in pain every time he did his poses. Kesian sangat tengok dia. Takpe, Captain. You'll do better next class.

More about basic yoga here.

Owen Hilang (For 2 Hours)

Yup. Aku balik-balik tadi tengok Owen takde dalam cage. Aduh. Mana laa pulak. Suspen sudah.

Tanya Irfan. Rupanya lepas makan ubat petang tadi, dia lepaskan Owen sebab Owen nak tidur dalam bakul motor. Haihs Irfan. Kena basuh laa dengna aku. Kalau dia tak balik-balik, siapa nak makan ubat-ubat tu? Membazir je aku beli. Isk. Tapi kesian pulak tengok Irfan serba salah dok menyuluh-nyuluh di kegelapan malam. Takpe, biarkan dia rasa bersalah. Huh.

Lepas dinner, aku pun macam biasa melayan Plant vs. Zombies ku. Aku dah sampai Level 5-10! Hehe.. menci laa Dr. Zomboss tuh. Tiba-tiba dengar bunyi kucing bergaduh. Kat alley belakang. Mesti kucing kelabu tu. Suka tau kacau kucing-kucing kat sini. Dah laa suka curi makan Leo and Cleo. Sabar je laa. Nasib baik cumel.

Dengar lagi bunyi kucing gaduh. Bingit betul. Buat muka menyampah sket. Sambung main game.

Lagi bunyi kucing gaduh. Ergghhh. Stress. Orang tengah nak bunuh zombies nih. Main game lagi.

Jap.

Jap.

Kucing kelabu tu gaduh dengna kucing mana? Tak banyak sebenarnya kucing jantan kat area ni.

Terus berlari turun dan bukak pintu dapur.

Tak nampak pulak.

Bukak lampu belakang. Nampak kucing kelabu tu tengah melenggang meninggalkan tempat kejadian.

Tengok kat tempat kejadian. Nampak kepala kucing terjengol dari bawah longkang. Bunyi sikit-sikit je.

Owen!

Ya Allah.. kat dalam longkang kau. Takut sangat dia dengan kucing kelabu tu. Kesiannya.

Aku panggil-panggil, dia tak nak keluar. Duduk diam je kat situ sambil mengiau-ngiau kecil. Kau ni, behave betul.

Lalu, operasi menyelamat dijalankan. Aku bukak gate belakang yang tak pernah langsung bukak, aku turun bawah sambil tiba-tiba terasa sejuk di kaki (katak! Euuuwwww... geli geleman kejap aku kat situ). Aku scoop Owen dari dalam longkang. Ergh.. Owen.. kotornya kau. :(

Tak pasal-pasal aku mandikan dia tengah-tengah malam tu. Lepas mandi, dia tak nak di lap. Asik nak lari. Aku pun tak berani nak kasar-kasar dengan dia. Takut kaki dia sakit. Aku biarkan dia jilat badan sendiri sambil aku main game.

Tiba-tiba sibuk datang kat aku. Naik atas CPU aku, lalu terus lena. Sejuk agaknya. Haih.. macam mana laa aku tak sayang kat kucing.

Wedding Update: Furniture!

Phew.. best gila pergi beli bunga kat Fah lean tadi. Rasa macam settle satu lagi benda yang pending untuk tunang. Dah boleh cross satu lagi benda dalam list. Hehe.

So, after habis borong bunga-bungaan yang cantik itu, kami pun nak balik laa. Lalu, aku baru teringat macam ada ternampak Wescourt kat tepi jalan tu. Ajak laa mama singgah. Sebab sebenarnya nak menyinggah adalah nak tengok set meja makan. Ada laa a few things jugak nak beli. TV cabinet, shoes rack, bedroom set. Tapi, yang paling penting adalah dining table set. Almaklum laa.. family ene kan nak datang merisik this March. So, kena laa tukar set meja makan aku tu. Mana laa nak muat 4-seater kalau diorang nak datang ramai-ramai, kan?

So, jalan punya jalan.. pusing punya pusing, ternampak laa satu set meja makan ni. Very cheap and nice. Glass table tau. Original price is RM659, tapi tengah sale jadi harga RM499. Can you believe it? Murah, kan? Here's the picture.

On Sale! Diana 6 + 1 Dining Table Set RM499!

We were more or less dah fixated on buying this one. Keja kaca, kerusi pun cantik. Tapi, still nak berjalan-jalan lagi menengok-nengok. Tanya assistant tu (namanya Robin, Bangladeshi. Very nice man. Promote pulak) ada tak TV cabinet. Tengok-tengok ada satu ni. Very nice. RM307. Dapat kurang jadi RM300. BUT. Display stock laa pulak. Adeh. Mama belek-belek kot-kot condition teruk. Condition still good. Hmm.. put on KIV first.

TV Cabinet RM300!

Tengok-tengok kat atas ada lagi satu floor. Gatai-gatai nak pergi tengok. Kat atas semua bedroom set! Hehe. Tengok punya tengok, terberkenan ada satu ni. I love the dresser. Not like the usual dressing table, this one cermin dia panjang and without the stool. Tak suka stool tu. Harga dia RM1372. Mahal jugak. Tiba-tiba Si Robin ni cakap dia boleh bagi RM900. RM900?? "Okay, I'll take it". I remember saying it.

Bedroom Set RM900 (Queen Bed, 4-Door Wardrobe, Dresser & Side Table)

So, all in all, aku amik tiga barang. Bedroom set RM1372, TV cabinet RM307 and Dining table set RM659. Altogether RM2338. Tapi Si Robin ni bagi aku RM1650. Wahh.. bezanya RM688 tu. Alhamdulillah. Semoga barangnya elok-elok saja. Lambat lagi ni nak kahwin, tapi dah beli bedroom set siap-siap. Hehe. Dan dah boleh cross lagi satu benda dalam list. Weehuuu!

Okeyy.. sudah penat. Sekarang mahu pergi jenguk Owen kat bawah kejap. Sian dia kena paksa makan ubat kat vet tadi. Pastu kena caged. Tapi dia diam je. Sekali-sekali bila ternampak orang dia mengiaw. Tapi slow je. Pastu diam balik. Baiknya laa kau. Siapa laa yang sampai hati buang kau ni?

Engagement Update: Bunga Hantaran!

After having mama's roti john for lunch, abah, mama, Irfan and I, we went out to Balakong to go this one place I really wanted to go. Fah Lean Floral in Taman Perindustrian Selesa Jaya. Read it in Pesona Pengantin stating they are pemborong bunga tiruan. Tu yang terpanggil untuk pergi tengok. Owen pun tengah tidur dalam cage tu. Tengah lalok ubat vet pagi tadi laa tu. Hehe.

Berpusing gak laa kami mencari jalan. Tak laa susah sangat, just tak biasa. Bila sampai je.. walauwehhh.. banyak gila bunga smpai tak terpilih. We were spoilt by choices! Tak pernah lagi aku tengok kedai jual bunga this big. Dia macam warehouse tau. Selain dari bunga, macam-macam laa barang kahwin lagi yang dorang jual. You just name it. But for me, only the flowers yang murah. Others like tray and stuff, lebih kurang je dengan harga luar.

Loot At That!

I was so speechless looking at the place. Tak sangka the place is this big with lots of flowers. Tak payah pergi mana-mana dah tau. Datang sini je semua bunga ada. Kau nak penuhkan hantaran kau dengan bunga pun tadahal laaa!

A Garden Full of Flowers!

We were there for more than a good one hour dok pusing. Kesian kat abah boring.  Tapi dia ikutkan aje. Kan anak dara dia nak kahwin ni. Hehe.

Mama and Irfan Choosing the Flowers for My Hantaran

Pikir punya pikir sampai pening, aku duduk kejap. Berpikir. What flowers do I really want? Kena pikir satu-satu. Ni laa padahnya banyak sangat tengok hantaran kahwin, sampai semua bunga nampak sama. Okay, focus. the first flower yang aku memang nak is white Hydrangeas. Okay, go take some Hydrangeas. Lepas dah amik, baru pikir pulak what other flowers yang boleh dipadankan dengan Hydrangeas. Fillers! I love fillers! Suka sangat kalau ada bunga kecik-kecik di celah bunga besar-besar. Pilih punya pilih, aku amik mini rose buds. Very cute. Okay, try-try gubah kat situ, main selit sini selit sana. Ngam. Rasa macam nak pakai dua bunga nih je. Aku memang saje amik white Hydrangeas sebab nikah nanti boleh pakai balik. Tak gitu? :p

The Total Damage: RM133.40

This is the total damage. Aku beli 6 pokok mini rose buds for RM7.90 each and 4 pokok white Hydrangeas for RM21.50. Rasa macam cukup untuk 7 dulang. Nanti balik kena try dulu. Kalau tak cukup baru beli lagi. Okay done. Pergi bayar.

Mini Rose Buds RM7.90 Sepokok

Dah sampai rumah, lepas makan laju-laju, terus try nak cucuk-cucuk bunga kat gabus pastu letak atas bakul. Playar takde pulak. Haih. Kena simpan balik. Tapi sebelum simpan balik, kena snap-snap :D Read in some wedding blogs about Fah lean Floral. Cuba baca sini dan sini. Selamat Membaca!

White Hydrangeas RM21.50 Sepokok 

Owen's Visit to the Vet

Three major things I did today and I'm so relieved I've done it. Been thinking to do those things weekends after weekends tapi asyik tak sempat je. Since it's gonna be a very long entry, I'm gonna separate them in three entries. Here's the link if you wanna read it up. Read it! I went to the vet in the morning, went shopping for artificial flowers for hantaran after lunch and ordered some furniture at Wescourt after that.

So, I wrote about my newly addition to my cat's family, Owen, the orangey obedient male cat that just came to my house. He's a three-legged cat who came to my house curi-curi makan and mengorat my Cleo. There is something wrong with the hind leg. Looks like he injured his leg in an accident or something. But there's no open wound or cut. The leg looks fine to me just that he doesn't use it. Whenever he wants to move, he'll pull in his leg so that it won't touch the ground. Mesti sebab sakit. Poor thing.

Sian Kat Kaki Dia..

So, couldn't stand looking at him, Irfan and I brought him to the vet. After examining him, the vet told us that it's an old injury. Looks like he's got bitten. Maybe while fighting. Memang ada kucing pun suka kacau dia kat sini. Greyish colour. Very naughty. Vet cakap he more or less couldn't do anything since it's an old injury. Tendon dah keras and muscles is wasted. It looks like the achilles tendon dah putus and the vet takleh nak buat apa-apa. If bagi ubat pun, tak sure boleh baik ke tak sebab dah lama. Look like already 30 days.

Sukanya Tidur Dalam Bakul Motor :p

So, as a trial, he gave Owen some medicine for muscles, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic. The medicine is for 10 days. If Owen responds to the medicine, then alhamdulillah. Otherwise, we have to let it be. The vet pun cakap. There's no open wound and this is just tendon injury. So, other than some difficulties to walk and run properly there will be no other complication. So, more or less, Owen will be walking on three legs for the rest of his life. Oh well.. aku cuba as hard as I can to heal you. But if takleh jugak. I really am sorry, Owen. The vet gave some ubat kurap sekali. Cream type. He didn't dare to give Owen an injection since the medication is on-going. Takut ada side effects pulak.

Owen's Medicine. Get Well Soon, Deary.

Banyak, kan? Haih.. aku memang takleh tengok kucing sakit. Jadik kesian sangat sebab knowing they're just animals and can't take care of themselves. So, terbang laa RM95 duit aku. Oh one more thing. While Owen's is on medication. He needs to use less of his muscles. So the vet advice to confine him in a cage so that he doesn't move too much. Asked the vet if he could supply cage, the price is RM55. But when it comes to payment time, he gave me a discount price at RM50 sebab he appreciates my effort in helping strays. Hehe. Berbunga kejap hati bila tau ada jugak orang appreciate. :)

Fast and Cheap Saturday Night Dinner

Mama wanted to make roti john tonight. So, she went to Giant with abah and Irfan looking for things to buy. Minced meat, spring onions, eggs and stuff. When they came home. These were on the dining table.

Didi's Ayam Masak Merah, Price Sudah Tanggal.

Irfan's Black Pepper Chicken, Price Juga Sudah Tanggal.

Mine's Fish n' Chip, RM2.99. Original Price RM5.99.

Abah's Chicken Chop, RM3.15. Original Price RM6.29.

Mama's Same As Mine.

Look at the price. Really cheap, right? They bought this at Giant. They went around 8.30pm something so all the food are on their clearance sale. Murah gila. So, mama bought this instead of barang-barang untuk buat roti john. Cheap and easy. Kenyang pun kenyang. So, time tengah malas-malas nak masak tu, you guys should try this.

Leo & Cleo's Visit to the Vet

As promised. I brought my two kittens, Leo and Cleo for a visit to the vet. Irfan drove me there. I really don't want them to have them same fate as the late Max. I really want them to be as healthy as they can be. Since I don't have a cage, I had to carry them in a basket. Comel pulak tengok dorang dalam bakul tu. Nasib baik dengar cakap. Hehe.

Went into the vet's room. Dua-dua kena treatment kutu. Habis satu badan basah. Hehe. Then the vet gave them a jab for their kurap. The vet told us the kurap will be worn off in a few days and the skin will be as smooth as normal. Hopefully you guys will get better soon, Sayangs.

The cost wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would be amounted to RM100. Rupanya it was only RM30. For two cats! Hehe. I love you lah, doc! Rupanya going to the vet isn't that expensive.

So, the vet asked us to come back in 10 days to get a second jab and to do the second kutu treatment. Padan muka kau, kutus!

Lega sangat bila nazar aku dah tercapai. Alhamdulillah.

On The Grill

What Are You Thinking?

See the above pictures? This is Leo. My Siamese lookalike kitten. Tak tau laa apa masalah dia, he really likes to climb up the grill then sits there like nobody's business. Kadang-kadang siap tertidur kat atas tu. And the best part is, he doesn't know how to climb down =| Haihh.. Tak paham betul. When he sees somebody opens the door, he meows macma nak suruh turunkan. But, the moment we got back inside the house, he will climb up again and sits there until somebody came and rescue him for the second time. Boleh macam tu? Haih Leo.

Cleo takde gambar sebab dia sibuk bercinta dengan Owen, my new domestic short hair orangy cat. I don't know if he was somebody's cat but he's really beautiful. He's just a domestic short hair but the coat is very pretty and the hair is longer than the usual kucing kampung. The pattern kat coat dia pun cantik. Spiral sikit. Check this out.

Isn't He Adorable?

Meet Owen The Kucing Tough.

Do you notice the hind leg? I don't know what he has gone through, but the hind leg is injured. It was a bit swollen and he only walks with three legs. Very slow. Kesian sangat. Wanted to bring him to the vet, but pikir pulak duit dah kurang ni. Haih. Why laa you must come here, dear boy? But he's such a good cat. Very cool. Very descent. Tak gaduh pun dengan my kittens. Diorang je yang takut lebih-lebih. Haha. Been thinking if I should keep him..

Pasar Malam Putrajaya

Just got home. Went for a drink with an old friend of mine. Lama tak jumpa. Saje je nak update masing-masing tentang perkembangan terbaru. He's got a new girlfriend, happy for him. And a new place, his own bachelor's pad. Happy for him. Bukan apa, after what he has gone through, I'm glad he's fine now.

Earlier before that, my parents and I went to the pasar malam Putrajaya to find something for dinner. As usual, they picked me up at the Putrajaya Sentral (abah is still using my car so kinda patah kaki right now) then we headed straight to pasar malam. Mama was the one who really wanted to go since she tak pernah pergi lagi. I've always loved this place sebab there are so many things you can find here. Especially food. Teringat zaman-zaman mudo-mudo dulu dengan Azila pergi cari juadah berbuka kat sini. Uwaaa.. kenangan terindah.

Sudahnya, we spent around RM50 for the food. Too many things look so delicious (shopping food time tengah lapar gitu laa gamaknya).

I bought 5 kuih akok - RM2 (Geram sebab tak jumpa kat Kota Bharu punya pasal), 10 popiah basah - RM6, nasi kerabu lauk telor masin - RM3 and 3 roti john (RM10).

Abah bought 20 kuih penaram - RM2, 3 quails - RM11 and 5 nasi lemak - RM5.

Mama bought 3 apam balik - RM10 and 15 putu bambu - RM6.

Banyak, kan? Sampai rumah kami makan sampai kekenyangan.

Gambar tak amik semua pulak, only quails. Tuh pun time nak snap tu, abah dah chilok sekor. Haih. Abah dengan burung puyuh memang tak dapat dipisahkan.

Sorry, Gambar Burok.

Original Bootcamp: 3rd Session (Burn The Cals!)

Third Session yesterday. Sangat lah pemalasnya. But need to go to burn the fat and calories I gained from the long weekend and also from eating too much carbs while I was away in Kelantan.

Overall, workouts are good. I can feel the muscles are working. Love the push-ups.

Saw Captain Dennis. Talked for a while and invited him to join our yoga classes. Let's see if he will be there next week. But, I'm still surprise to see him in the 3rd session. Going strong, captain! :D

Entry Malas

First day at work after two days of jalan-jalan. Huwarghh malas gila.

This one will be short, I promise. Just nak update kepulangan aku. Gambar banyak, tapi semua kat dalam camera lagi. Later baru transfer.

Kota Bharu will not be my favourite place to go. Aku bukan memilih sangat, tapi gerai/warung kat sana memang tak dapat nak memikat hati aku untuk makan. Makan pun sekadar kenyang je. Very unhygienic.. Sorry warga Kelantan. I've to say what I've have to say. They really need to do something about the cleanliness in surrounding area. Guess what? Segala makanan Kelantan, satu pun aku tak dapat nak rasa. Not even Nasi Kerabu. What a waste. :|

Today got bootcamp. Malas, but I really need to go burn some calories. Dah laa tak pergi lari. Yoga pun miss. Yang ni dah ada peluang kena rajin sket.

Will update later about my trip to Kota Bharu once I've got the pictures.

Shoppink @ Kelantan!

Hasnaa called ene just now. As promised. They talked about the Hong Kong position. So far, there are only two suitable candidates. He and the other guy. So far, ene is the one who is more suitable for the position. Sebab he is the one who handle things in Hong Kong. But apa-apa pun, they need to meet up with Lina Wang for interview. She'll be in town on the 28th. So, 28th ni laa baru confirm weather dapat or not. I hope he'll get it. Mungkin akan problem jugak laa in terms of preparing ourselves for the wedding. But, it's a good opportunity for him and for me as well. Kalau tak dapat kerja kat sana pun, boleh laa bercuti selalu. Nasib baik kerja airline ;))

I'm leaving for Kota Bharu tomorrow. Yeayy tak kerja esok dengan lusa. Cuti! Saje je actually pergi Kota Bharu ni. Terjumpa this really good deal time promo hari tu. Five pax for RM76. Murah gila, kan? Sebab weekdays :|

Tapi okay laa.. just about time laa kot pergi. Since aku pun nak cari barang kahwin, kan. Boleh laa jengah-jengah apa yang murah kat situ. Kot-kot ada doorgift murah ke, kain murah ke.. Tapi.. masalahnya, aku tak amik check-in baggage. Hahah. Takpe. Survey-survey dulu. Panjang lagi masa.

Our flight tomorrow is at 8.30am. First flight sebab duduk satu malam je, kan. Balik pulak, flight petang. So, I'll only be updating my blog on Thursday. There goes my Yoga class. Ergh.

Wedding Update: On Everything!

Met up detink-detink with ene yesterday. I promised I will update about the discussion on our wedding. Since we've not seen each other for two weeks, so this entry will be one hell of a long entry. Seriously, this is a warning.

Okay, gonna write one by one supaya tak pening. There might be a bit change of plan. ene might got an offer from TM Hong Kong for a opened position there. Benda ni still ongoing. Not yet finalized. But he is one of them yang akan kena pergi. The issue now is, if he was to go to Hong Kong. He'll be leaving in June since the new division will be up and running in mid year. That means.. time is really running out to prepare for our wedding. That will lead to earlier preps for everything. Semua kena cari and finalized and lock before he leaves. Iaitu before June. We don't really have much time left, do we? Fuh.

Okay, the updates.

DEWAN:

1. Dewan Komuniti Bukit Bandaraya tak jadi. Walaupun murah dan date kitorang memang still free. Sebab mak ene tak nak dewan komuniti. Tak berkenan katanya. Dia still nak dewan kat dalam opis juga. Haihh.. my hands are off the table now. Aku dah cari, tapi tak setuju, so it's up to you guys.

2. For now, ada tiga dewan yang diorang dah shortlist:

    a) Dewan Tan Sri Mahfuz Khalid (Dewan JKR), near Bank Negara:

        i.   Dapat contact from kawan Falsya. Dia kerja JKR. So, lagi senang kalau ada orang dalam.

        ii.  Date kosong. But risky. Sebab if tiba-tiba ada VVIP nak datang, they have to cancel our booking. Gila apa? Mana nak cari dewan masa-masa terdekat camtu?

        iii. Aunty still prefer this dewan jugak, so she asked Flasya for the friend's number so that senang deal terus dengan dia. She wanted to discuss pasal lock dewan ni. If they agreed to lock the hall for us, memang amik dewan ni laa. Otherwise, kena cari dewan lain laa. Putting the hall on kiv macam ni, it's a very risky thing laa.

    b) Dewan Bankuet DBP, near Tupai-Tupai:

        i.  Date still kosong.

        ii. Aunty tak suka sangat sebab nak pergi jem kat situ. Hehe.. cerewet lah aunty ni ;)) But still keeping this on kiv.

    c) Dewan Bankuet UTM, Jalan Semarak:

        i. Date kosong, booked. Tapi tak letak deposit lagi.

3. Sebelum lock any dewan, we planned to go tengok the dewans first. At least, we can get a clearer pictures of how our wedding will look like in that particular dewans.

4. What ever it is, dewan needs to be locked before March. Sebab time is running out. Bila dewan dah locked, every other things dah boleh start cari dah, cari masjid untuk nikah, pergi food tasting catering, cari pelamin etc etc etc..

HANTARAN (TUNANG):

1. The original plan: 7 balas 9. 

2. But now, ene asked to tukar to 5 balas 7. Alasan dia, takut ada sedara-mara tiba-tiba bagi barang extra. Aku jugak yang jenuh nak membalasnya. Ada jugak betulnya dia cakap. Nak mencari benda nak letak atas 9 dulang memang susah. Semua benda nak bagi. Sudahnya benda-benda tuh semuanya Aunty bagi kat orang je masa kahwin abang ene dulu. At least, kalau 7 dulang je, takde laa aku pening kepala nak bagi benda mengarut-ngarut kan. But still, I think kena prepare one or two extra dulang in case dorang bagi lebih. Tapi kalau dah last minute sangat, sorry laa. Hamik laa kau 7 dulang sahaja. Muahahahahaa!

DUIT HANTARAN:

1. ene wanted to give RM10k. But I wanted 12k. So, ene letak syarat. Dia bagi 12k provided aku settle bedroom set. Need to dicuss with mama first. Tengok macam mana.

2. Final verdict: Duit hantaran RM12k from ene and bedroom set from me.

CATERING:

1. Aunty ada sebut nak amik Ikhwan lagi sekali. But, ene said, "Kena laa tanya belah sana jugak. Masa yang haritu, food tasting dengan family Falsya. Lain. This time, takleh laa nak terus amik jugak walaupun dah tau sedap. Kena laa bawak diorang pergi food tasting jugak. Mungkin diorang tak berkenan. Lagi satu, mesti laa dorang pun ada catering sendiri nak pilih. Kita discuss laa dulu dengan diorang macam mana." You did the right thing, ene. Love you! :D

3. Writing this entry.. aku macam baru perasan. Both caterer macam lebih kurang menunya. Even the free gift pun lebih kurang. Hmm.. mungkinkah diorang orang yang sama? Or siapa tiru siapa? Tak kisah laa.. yang penting dua-dua sodaaap!

DOORGIFT:

1. Aunty's idea: Sedara Falsya ada duduk kat Cameron Highlands. Dia boleh supply jem dalam mini jar. It's supre cute and I like it! But, it still depends on the harga jugak. If mahal, then forget laa. If murah, then on laa. So, if jadi, terpulang kat family aku of nak tambah apa-apa or just bagi tu je. Tinggal tambah cute pouches to go with it je.

2. My idea: If the mini jam is not that expensive, aku nak tambah wajik. Back to traditional way. Hehe.. ene is okay with the idea. Tapi tengok dulu budget mini jam tu. I really want it! Sangat cute okayh!

KURSUS KAHWIN:

1. If ene was to go to Hong Kong in the middle of the year, we are planning to go to kursus kahwin in March. Need to settle everything before dia pergi. Kalau tak, takkan dia nak balik sini semata-mata nak pergi kursus kahwin, kan?

2. If ene tak jadi pergi, then we are going around July. Or maybe later. No issues there.

Pheewwww.. that's it. The updates. Banyak, kan? Hope some of the infos in this entry might help. Okay, dah nak muntah tengok blog. Bye.                                                                                                          

Farewell, Dear Kitty..

Hari detink with ene today. We were so excited to see each other today (despite my kitty's sick :( ). Sebab we've not seeing each other for like two weeks, okay! Lama tuu.. Rindu sangat. Sangat-sangat. Tapi best. Sebab bila jumpa, there're so many thing to be talked about and rasa satu hari tu macam tak cukup je. Warning: this entry would be one hell of an entry.

ene picked me up around 1.00pm. I told ene I didn't have my car with me since abah needed to use it to go run some errands. So, ene came and pick me up (pancing-pancing him the night before saying, I'm gonna take the tren to KL if we were to go to KL area. He said he'll pick me up. Gatai mung :p). I was so excited to see ene pull off in front of my house. Walaupun dalam hati ada sikit tersentak-sentak bila teringat pasal Maximus. The vet said he'll be calling me around petang-petang to give me an update about Maximus. I really hope he'll be calling me to give me good news, even though I know that will be a miracle if it happens.. I really pray hard for you, dear kitty.. :(

We reached Sunway Pyramid around 2.00pm. Penat gila cari parking. Went to McD sebab ene hadn't had anything for lunch yet. He had double chicken prosperity burger. And I had strawberry sunday. Haishh iLa. Tengah sedap-sedap makan eskrem, my phone rang. It was the vet. Mula laa jantung aku macam nak pecah. I reluctantly picked up the call.

Me: Hello?

Vet: Hello, Zila Zainal?

Me: Ye, saya. (Menjawab dengan penuh debaran).

Vet: I'm calling from Pusat Veterinar Puncak Jalil. Your cat, Maximus.. (there was a pause there, not a good sign) he just died 2-3 minutes ago..

Me: Ooo.. (pause juga) okayy.. I takde kat rumah right now, I'll send somebody to pick him up laa.. (Mixed feelings now).

Vet: Okay.. I'm so sorry ya..

Me: It's okay. We already know this is coming.. Thanks ya..

Vet: Okay, bye.

Me: Bye..

Told ene about it. We had a moment of silence. Then I cried. ene tried to comfort me and try to change topics so that I won't cry as much. One thing he said that put my mind at ease, 'All cats go to heaven'. Thanks, Sayang. At least, he wouldn't suffer living in this cruel world.

Called abang mintak tolong dia pick up Maximus at the clinic. Luckily abang ada at home. Kalau tak, tak tau la siapa nak amik that poor kitty. Thanks, Abang. Told abang to pay first, wrapped Maximus in a paper then simpan for a while until I got home. Nasib baik abang tak marah he had to do those things. An hour after that, he mms me a picture. Maximus. He buried my Maximus. Abang, you've saved me from being drenched with tears again. Thank you. Maximus, I seriously will miss you. So much. No more panjat-panjat grill dapur. No more meowing at my feet. No more panjat tingkap depan to get in. No more dengar mama marah-marah about him. No more Maximus.. Rip kitty. I will remember you till the end..

After that, we went jalan-jalan pusing-pusing looking for our barang hantaran as usual. Barang aku tinggal kasut je. So, memang aku cari kedai kasut je laa. Went to Charles and Keith and Aldo. Both kedais got nice stilettos yang sesuai untuk di letak atas dulang. But I decided to wait. Banyak lagi masa. After all, it's just kasut. Kasut senang nak cari. Sambil-sambil tu, we went looking for ene things. Barang dia banyak lagi tak cover. Kasut takde lagi, wallet takde lagi, Belt takde lagi. Tatau laa tu, bila lagi nak beli. Semuanya tak berkenan di hati. Haihh.. Sayang.. Sayang.. Sabar je laa.

Dah penat pusing satu Pyramid, we then went for coffee at Starbucks. I had Caramel Ice Blended and ene had the new Valencia Machiato. Not so good. Macam rasa green tea pulak sikit. A lot of thing we discussed while having our coffee. Too much input in a day. Pening. Will update tomorrow ya. Kang panjang-panjang sangat takde siapa pulak nak baca.

We sat there about two hours then we head to the Crispy Popiah stall to have some snack. Nak early dinner tapi still feeling full. So, snacking aje laa. Thought of ordering two rolls of the normal crispy popiah, then the girl asked if we wanted to try the new egg roll. Boleh laa.. So we had one normal roll and another one is the new egg roll.

Egg Roll and Normal Crispy Popiah RM6

The egg roll is the one which has got the sauce on top of it. It is somekind of sambal petis with udang kering. Sedap gila. Will go and get some more next week. We bought a bottle of mineral water there and altogether is RM8.

We decided to go home after that. Tiba-tiba nak bayar parking, ticket unreadable laa pulak.. haihh. Went to some few more autopay machine pun still takleh. Last-last, ene went to the carpark help desk counter. Settled.

Reached home around 8.00pm. Sampai kat area rumah je terus rasa sedih balik. Teringat kat Maximus. Haih. I can never forget you, dear. Writing this entry pun really makes me sad. Anyhow, aku betul-betul rasa ralat kenapa aku tak bawak dia awal-awal lagi pergi clinic. Oh well.. tak guna pun menyesal kan.. Apa-apa aku rasa happy sebab dapat mandikan dia a day before dia pergi. Takpelaa.. I still got two more that I can save. I really hope Cleopatra and Leonardo boleh tahan until this weekend.Jangan sedih-sedih, iLa. You have more things to settle for your wedding, right? After all, all cats go to heaven. Rest in peace my dear friend. Nothing can hurt you anymore, kitty. Love always..

Rest in Peace, Buddy.

Stay Strong, Dear Maximus..

Just got back from the vet. Haihh.. Bangun-bangun pagi tadi, as usual, jengah kat luar looking for my three anak-anak, Maximus, Leonardo and Cleopatra. Semua tengah melepak ketiduran. Bukak je pintu, as usual, semua nak menerpa masuk. Except for Maximus. Yang lain semua dah masuk, he just sat there silently. This is not a good sign. What happened to you, deary?

Lepas bagi makan Leo and Cleo, went back to Max to check on him. He was so lembik. Sitting in a position which sick cats always sit. Tangan kaki semua simpan ke dalam. Oh what's wrong with you, deary? Risaunya..

I decided to bring him to the vet. Dah lama sebenarnya niat nak bawak all of them to the vet to treat their kutus and kuraps. Tapi, asyik delay je. Mama always reminded me to bring them sebab it was actually my nazar to bring them all after I've got my bonus. Oh Max, I hope I'm still not too late.

Kereta takde, abah drove my car to run some errands. So, I asked abang to send me there. Nasib baik abang ada. Thanks, abang. I wrapped Max with a small face towel, then got him in the car. Sampai kat vet, his condition still the same. Very weak. Meowing sometimes. When I put him on the stainless steel table, he crawled slowly on the towel. Sejuk agaknya. So I put him in the towel then wrapped him up. Waited and waited. Lambat pulak vet nih. Max is waiting ni, cepat laa vet. I felt like crying looking at him. He is so quiet unlike the usual, he was the noisiest, the naughtiest of all. After I wrapped him up, he crawled closely next to me. Looking at me, then meowed. Oh this really breaks my heart.. :(

So, the vet came and checked him out. And found out got is having jaundice. Ohh.. I felt like crying. I know jaundice, when the condition is like this, it is a dead end. I just know. The doctor wanted to keep him here. Keep on eye on him. I thought it's better that way. At least, there is a place for him to get treatment. Simpan kat rumah pun, takde siapa nak jaga dia. I'm going out with ene in a while and Max is not supposed to mix with his other siblings in a condition like this.

So the vet put a drip on him since he's too skinny and tak nak makan. Then jap him vitamin B Complex. Then put a warm water bag under his towel. He doesn't have fever, he's got hypothermia which is worse because max body temperature colder than the usual. That explained the crawling on the towel just now.

When the doctor gave him the japs, he didn't budge that much. And at this moment of time, I know what is coming already. It's just that I felt so bad for not bringing him earlier to the vet, I just asked the doctor to proceed for any treatment needed at any costs. Padahal niat dah lama ada nak bawak these little guys. Sheesh.. Max. I'm so sorry boy..

The doctor speaking frankly to me as well when I asked the percentage to recover. And I accept it. I know Max's not doing well, but I still pray hard for him. So, I left him at the vet as per advised. The vet said he will call late in the evening to update me about Max condition.

On my way back home, I cried. Menyesal sangat why I didn't bring him earlier. Oh well, menyesal dahulu pendapatan kan.. I really hope Leo and Cleo boleh bertahan until next weekend. Looks like they are healthy. Vet tutup petang so there's no way aku sempat nak bawak diorang pergi vet. They really have to wait until next weekend. Bertahan ye..

Need to go now.. ene is coming in an hour. Pray for my Maximus, guys..
