Bye2 2009..and Welcome 2010!!

Alhamdulillah, I was alive to enter 2010, with a healthy body and of course a healthy mind. I should say that 2009 was a year full of laughter and tears. What more can I say rite? Neverthelessly..I aim to be a better person to myself and to others. And to all who have been there for me..thks dear for everything...let us welcome this new year with open arms..and hopefully we will brave thru the new frontier with more strength. InsyaAllah

Very AuntY

As I grow older each day...I realised dat I'm becoming more 'aunty'. And how did I know that?

Well, the fact that I'm now extra careful (read : more choosy!) when it comes to spending my $$ on expensive goods. And my definition of expensive good is that the good can cost less than $10! I would keep on calculating & recalculating and evaluating & re-evaluating.I jumped from one shop to another (just to compare the prices) until I'm fully satisfied. No evaluation from 3rd party is needed! Hmmmmpph.

Not auntie enuff? Please continue to read on..

I dressed like an auntie too. So far nobody ever commentedlah but I'm just dressing up coz I need to cover up and not to appear beautiful in anyone's eyes. Of courselah, I'll still try to look pleasant but to spent $$$ just on clothings wld set me thinking twice..thrice and I wld eventually put on the same blouse every week. Who wld notice anyway rite? I just need to change the sequence of my dressing..eg Week 1- I wld put on Set A on a Fri..then maybe on Wk 2 - I wld put on the same set of clothing but this time. I'll put in on a Tues. I still change & wash my clothes rite so...whats the big deal rite? Hee hee...

Still scratching ur head?

And surprisingly, I cld click very well with the middle-aged and golden girls. (its the signs...) And I am serious! When these aunties started to touch on topics like 'what to cook for dinner tonite' or 'i'm having problem talking to my girl'..u can see my pupils dilate and my interest arouse. Then as usual, I wld give them a piece of my mind and sharing with them my experiences.

There u go...my auntie story just ended. But actually, I've more stories to share but like what most aunties will do..they will keep the suspense going coz aunties like to gossip and its not wise to gossip sooo many things at one go...rite???

The End?

I was caught with abundance of werk for the past few days plus i was down with mild fever & coughs. I wanted very much to take MC but since there was an upcoming meeting then, I pushed myself to the max, in a hope dat i could finish everything on time b4 the big boss goes on leave. Seriously, at the end of the day, the boss made the final call. Deadline became dead-line. But, what more can I say?

On another note, my family & I had a very very short getaway at JB last weekend. It was a last minute plan by bro in law & me. Well, what else can we do out there? Eat, eat and eatlah! A few incidents happened thou.

On our way to enter the JB custom, we heard a loud thud! NUNU's rear light was rammed by a bicycle. I cldnt stop cursing even up till now. That stupid cyclist (man) didnt even apologised to us, and me being so stupid didnt even noticed the damage until we reached the hotel carpark. Futhermore, I cldnt possibly get down to give that man a good scolding coz motorbikes were zooming non-stop on the road shoulder.Seriously, after the incident, my happy mood was put to a halt. But i tried very much not to show itlah. As much as I have taken good care of NUNU, ada je musibah yg menimpa. It's not so much of the money that's going to be spent on the repair. At nite, we watched "Santau" at Cathay CT Square. Again, we made our Dad broke his record i.e to watch a movie with us! hee hee! Also, on Sun, we were approached by this Singaporean man, who claimed that he was robbed when he was onboard the bus when he just reached JB. When I checked his passport, it showed that he has entered JB on 26 Nov 09 and he was supposed to leave JB on 25 Dec 09. Seriouslah ni org, nak bedek pun tak tidak2. Was he trying to say that he was 'robbed' on 26 Nov 09 and he didnt even lodged a police report till 20 Dec? He asked for $5 as he needed it for his fare home. I was aldy nudging my Dad to express my disagreement but Dad just gave him the money. He then thanked us profusely and left. Oh, on a sidenote, this man, was dressed very smartly and carrying a plastic bag and his S'pore passport. In case you meet him, can u just offer to bring him to the police station? Ha ha. I was just about to do that...nasib my Dad ada. I couldnt stand such scamlah. Serious.

I have much to update but since I have not ironed my working clothes..I better end off now. Till then...hope its not too late to wish all my Muslim frenz- Salam Maal Hijrah!

Little Owl Makes a HooT

Time check..its 1252am and I'm still awake. Thou I'm feeling unwell for the past few days, I forced myself to go to werk since I have deadline to meet. My weekend wld definitely be a tiring one coz my family and I will be the orang kuat for my cuzin's wedding! Its great to see one by one of my younger cuzins getting married with their loved ones. No worries, my time will come and I'll sure make everyone rewang & sweat like anything! hee hee.

Somebody had decided to make a cameo appearance, which definitely didn't make an impact on me. Entahlah, I think its time for me to wake up and stand firm on the ground. Let bygone be bygone and fumakila be fumakila..hee hee. All I hoped & prayed for is their happiness.period.

Oklah, I need to check on my fish at Happy Aquarium. Till then...for those who can feel my love...I LOVE YOU!!!!

All it takes is a little bit of patience..

I think I ate my dinner too fast just now. And I think I have swallowed a fish bone. burrppp! I can feel a bit of pain on my throat. Heelpppp!! (sape seh nak tolong??!)

At times when I am all alone, I would start to reflect back on what has happened to my life for the past 30 yrs. Fuyoo!! I'm soo old! hee hee! From a naive lil gal to someone who can be rebellious at times. However, I'm so gadis-melayu at heart. At times, I still do not enjoyed the freedom that every teen/person is entitled to. Yes, I may have my own car, my own room, my own tv set, my own hp...yet I think I still did not enjoy my rights. But I'm not complaining. Its just that I am a lil upset. What more do I need to do to gain that trust from HER? SHE is forever treating me like a lil gal..or maybe she's forgotten that I'm 30? To console myself, I will tell myself to be a lil bit more patient. Hopefully, one day, I shall receive the same equal treatment like what my 2 sisters are receiving. hee hee

oklah, before she starts screaming, i better off my pc and iron my clothes..and not forgetting my Dad's clothes.

The Update ~ 6 December 2009

Ciaakkk!!

And I know I've not been updating my blogspot. Dah sibuk dgn facebook katakan?! hee hee. Anyway, I dun intend to make known to the entire world of my updated blogspot so if YOU, whoever you are, happen to stumble on this blog (either you have been my die-hard fan or u have googled Jijah)..what more can I say? YOU have decided to read abt me and by all means, YOU can continue to read & follow me. hee hee. Btw, I'm not someone famous or any known celebrity. This blog is more like a diary to me, and its my decision to write what I want, as along, I'm not affecting other pple's life. Geddit? Ok, for a start..eh, mcm tak start2 plak dari tadi..a lot/load of things had happened to me for the past 6 months. Well..I am glad that sumeting 'sweet' has happened to me and I was glad that I got to feel what you call ~ love even if its for a short while). After living in hibernation (read: devoid of men's love) for almost 2 yrs, I tried, to trust men again. However, when this teeny weeny heart opens a bit to accept man's love, again, I was hurt. Thou, I didn't plan to fall in love again, I thot its worth trying. People say - its okay to get hurt so that u'll get up to be a stronger person. So pls eh, dun ever say that I never give YOU or MEN a chance to love me. Dah kasi chance, its either they amik kesempatan or took me for granted. Aaarrgghh!! Nevermind, that was my past. It toook me awhile to put up a cool front and weave thru all the ordeal. Everything happened for a reason. My doas will always to go to him, him and him - 3 different men who have came at 3 different phases of my life.I'm not someone who bear grudges, who am I to judge YOU? InsyaAllah, I am very sure and very confident, I would eventually meet my MR Right and when that really happen, sujud syukur ku padaMU ya Allah.Even now, I am already blessed wif my family, soulmate and frenz. What more am I asking?? Till then , hopefully i'll update my blogspot regularly.Thou I can actually blog in my Notes in Facebook but i think I have more privacy in here. *wink*

Take care everyone and tomorrow is MONDAY!

FRIENDSHIP


It takes more than caring
To be a real friend;
The nature of friendship;
Requires a blend
Of warmest compassion
And love deep and true
To reach and to comfort
The way that you do.
Because I can see
That your kind of friendship
Is priceless to me.

Marina, thanks for being a good fren. =)

I am glad that even if we do not meet often, you were always there to put a smile on my face. And I do hope this frenship wld last till our last breathes.

And I simply can't get enuff of her!!

A Celebration by the Beach

For this year's cny, we decided to keep it simple.what else kalau tak pegi picnic. As usual ecp was swamped wif the Malays & Indians.We went there on on Monday just to see the place all covered wif tents and tents of humans.When we reached there, I caught sight of Dr Maliki Osman and family.Ok, no bodyguards with him thou. heh2.We had a hard time pitching the tent but luckily there was this guy who helped us out.Buat muka kesianlah babe! We left the place after Maghrib.
On another note..i just feel like telling someone off...these pple are just stepping on my nerve.*bleeerrgg*

Gelagat si ComeL

17 Jan : It was supposed to be a group outing wif my dear frenz.However due to unforseen circumstances the outing was cancelled last minute.Since I 'm missing my dear god-daughter, Umairah, so much, me & Marina decided to meet up anyway. Our first stop was the Charles & Keith warehouse sale at Leng Kee Road.However, the sale turned to out to be disastrous wif not many 'low-heels' shoes on sale. even after 50% discount, the marie claire bags were pretty expensive.Dahlah, we need to climb up the hill to find a parking slot, we eneded up buying nothing! Since our tummies were aldy growling in hunger, apalagi, kita pegilah cekik kat Jurong East! Eating seafood in pairs needs lots of effort. After sometine, Marina was seen trying to push her food to me while i ended up forcing the food down my throat.But the food was nice anyway! After the dinner, I sprang a mini advanced bday celebration for my 2 lovelies. Bukan apa, takot tak dpt berjumpa on the birthday itself.There were many pics taken on that day but since im running out of time now, i'll just combine the pics into a few pages only. p/s Noticed the blooms on my first pic? They were the plants that I bought at Far East Flora previously (the ones dat i mentioned in my previous entry)

N.E.W Love

My last weekend was well-spent.And finally on that weekend, did i find true love.Read on to find out...

At 6am i the morning, i began my morning jog. My initial plan to run around the basketball court was dampened when i saw many aunties gathered around there, all set to do their morning tai-chis. And guess where did i run then? I went to the uppermost deck of the multi storey carpark just behind my flat, and i began running. Of course my Mum 'accompanied' me by making wolves' calls from the kitchen window.

On Sat, I accompanied my sis to Far East Flora to get some green plants (read: pandan leaves, curry leaves, aloe vera) for her to 'decorate' her corridor. Ask me abt green plants, i like them but won't dedicate myself to water them regularly.However, i was totally amazed on their floral collections and above all, the range of Chinese New Year blooms.While i was busy admiring nature's beauty, my younger sis was busy snapping away pics of the plants.And suddenly my eyes were fixed on dis little plant which has shades of red hues on its leaves.I quickly grabbed it and put it in 'our' trolley.Then I saw another plant which had soo many red flowers on it.While elder sis chose the one where the flowers has sprung open, I chose mine which was still budding, hoping to watch the petals slowly open.Actually I intend to put one of mynewfound love in my office cubicle so that I can turn to it when my stress level gets out of control. However, further to my Mom's advice, she will need to transfer my new plant to a bigger pot so that it will grow well.till then, my love will stay at home.so troublesome lah! And now i've start to water the plants at my corridor...i mean only my plants eh.

After dropping my Mum off at Lavender, we then went to Beach Road to fill our empty stomachs.Besides the main dish, all of us decided to eat sup tulang.Apalagi, all the 'clink clank' semua kluar! Me, being the least expert in eating tulang, was using the satay stick, straw and fork to dig out the sum sum. I think all my ladylike moves were gone upon eating the lah! On a sidenote, Beach Road makan place brought back a 1000 memories of .....(tulangsok Jijah, move on please.)

Well, our Saturday did not end then.We made our way to Mustaffa Centre, well, my sis fave place.As usual, the place was super crowded with people.My sister got her music cds (didnt know she love dance musics!) while i grabbed some Murukus for my nite snacks.It was already 12midnight when we reached home.

When I thot i could rest the following day, early in the morning ard 9,my Uncle called to ask my parents out to Simpang Renggam. My Mum quickly asked me to tag along.My tiredness was compensated after lunch @ Singgah Selalu. Too engrossed on eating until no pictures taken for the day lah.After our tummies were filled in, we made our way to Simpang Renggam. The journey took us almost an hour.The other 2 cars which went with us reached there 15 minutes earlier.(ni kes terbang kat road). Spent almost RM200 on the kerepeks & tarts.geraammmm!! Thou it jammed on our way back, we did not realised it was already 8pm since all of us in the car were talking nad yaking all the way.

See, i told ya. My weekend was well-spent and not forgetting, i found my true love last Sat. now..what shall i name my plant eh?
