The Earth Moved!!!

Peeps, did u feel the earth moved at around 6.15 pm tadi? Many felt the tremor from Batu Pahat to Cyberjaya to Shah Alam & etc etc

A friend was reading the newspaper and suddenly the chair he was sitting on became a rocker and the table lamp danced a samba.

Another friend was on the bed surfing the net when her whole room swayed for about 20 seconds.

And many others felt scared shit when their office building bergegar.

I was going down the stairs in my house and I felt my badan menggigil. I thought I hypo sebab dah 2 hari tak makan nasik.

And my husband? He was sleeping on the King Sized Bed, snoring a little, dead to the world.

U felt it?

Cute Things That I Bought and Want ;p

He he.... the cute thing that I bought tu actually the gift that comes with the purchase of Azan's formula milk lah. Look look, so cute kan. Nice! Jadinya I bought 2 lah, so Baby Azan can play with Set 1 and Set 2.

As for the thing that I want to, is this. KitchenAid processor. Of course I want the one in PINK!! Mr. Ako suka yang charcoal black tu... eeeeeeeekkk tak cantik kan. Tapi expensive lah this kitchen gadget. Over 2k.... egad!!! I frequent MatGebu's cooking blog, and I know he has one ;p But kalau MatGebu beli berbaloi la kan, with the amount of cooking/baking that he does daily. For me, berbaloikah??? Hmmnnnn... but but but, it's so pretty

Bulan Yang Baru

Cepat sikit boleh tak?

Cannot sabar dah ni nak tengok....

Haiihhh

Now WHAT?

Time flies by so fast, our cuti raya is nearing the end. Tomorrow school shall commence and it's back to work and back to reality for most of us. For me, even if I don't go to 'work', my kind of work is also very real. Chauffering kids to and fro for their varying activities, cooking, tutoring, and ensuring everyone is happy and that everything is running smoothly. When all is well with kids and home, the man who brings the meat to the dining table will be at peace at work. You think this is the old world order? Think again.

After coming back from Terengganu last Wednesday, much of our activities fall back into the old familiar pattern lah.

ONE: I have to make sure the dapur berasap (sometimes he he), so to speak ;)

TWO: Eating out is something urbanites do on a regular basis. Tak terkecuali la kami sekeluarga. As for me, I had my fix of latte and brownies yesterday while the kids makan fish & chips.

THREE: Urbanites are mall rats. So berkeliaran di shopping centres is the norm. Ni semalam kat Ikea. Camera at the ready is also another of our peculiar habits kan.

FOUR: If not malling, go 'rounding' jalan merata. Xde keje? Inilah keje ;)

FIVE: Family meals jangan suruh mak masak, dia pun nak dine out jugak kan. So, sebulan Ramadhan tak pekena banana leaf rice kan.... so puluuunnnnnn... yum yum yummy

SIX: Next hobby is to collect all kinds of merchandise from fast food joints. Latest is Coca Cola glass when you buy the Coke Countour Glass Meal. I got mine in PINK oready... yeaayyy... ha ha ha ha

WEIRD? Yeah maybe. But aren't we all?

Oklah, enough f0r now. Nak pegi Sg. Buloh beli pokok.. Byeeeee

Till Death Do Us Part

Love you guys to death. You are my everything.

Where will u guys be spending your first raya? I will be going back to my parents' later today, kira balik kampung la jugak even though it's only 5 minutes away! heh heh... Tomorrow, maybe a bit later in the evening we will depart for hubby's hometown in Terengganu ;)

Now taking a wee break from packing stuff for our balik kampung trip. I am telling you packing for 4 kids is not a task which is easily done. My maid siang2 dulu dah surrender, her eyes berpinar2 don't know what to bring and what to bring... ha ha ha... as usual every time travelling with the family, this task will fall on my shoulders. And believe you me, setiap kali habis packing barang2 diorang ni, I will feel like nak muntah! Serious!

Oh oh, ada request from the boys for me to post up pics of their shoes kat dalam blog... ok lah, boleh lah... Excited nak pakai kasut raya...

The Brothers' Shopping Raya

Yesterday Mr Ako and I brought three Superheroes out to shop for their baju raya. Not baju melayu though as they will be wearing the same baju melayu they wore for my brother's wedding last July. Only worn once before so that is considered very new and more than good enough to be worn on the first day of raya. Yesterday was shopping for casual clothes lah to be exact. And also shoes for Q. Ammar and Adam's shoes sudah beli last month in August when Skechers was having a sale. Q's shoes we bought at Adidas but sayang no discountlah. So dapatlah baju jalan 3 pasang sorang and also new baju tido. Baby Azan's baju raya dah beli last week, dia punya lebih sikit lah sebab dia kecik selalu kena tukar baju kan ;)

Excited dapat ponteng sekolah sebab nak shopping raya. tsk tsk

First to One Utama

Then to Sunway Pyramid

Phewww, lega dah settle!

So, ARE YOU READY TO RAYA?????

Buka Posa Gang Mpik-UK 99 @ Sari Ratu 130909

He he he he he he..... keh keh keh keh.... Bukak posa with my uni mates tadi!!! That explains the giggly mood I'm in now la kan.. Apa taknya, asyik ketawa aje.... Gelak tak habis-habis... We were a riot back there in Sari Ratu, SP. The last ones to leave, naturally.... Already planning for the next gathering, hopefully with MORE people joining in.

Me and Tini..

Ok, I want to demand an explanation as to why NOBODY informed me that my face looks shiny enough to be mistaken as the surface of a newly polished marbe table-top? Sheeeeesshhhh....

Group photo...opppsss, where's Shah and Intan H?

Hey no fair I was placed opposite Yatt who is soooo tiny she could be my daughter! Being opposite Yatt makes me look HUMONGOUS for belacans' sake! Happy to know that a number of my mates will be pursuing their PhD soon, and 2 or 3 of them HAVE already started with their journey towards a doctorate. Two of them wil be leaving for Australia soon. We shall miss you Ena & Sam but before u go, there's that gathering @ ur place first kan? Looking forward to that.

So sad that I had to turn down the offer to do Masters. Kalau tak I dah start early Sept lepas. Sedih as I had already gone to the interview and got a place already. Last minute I had to decline. But I believe the reason behind it is perfectly justified. And once a decision is made, there's no use dwelling on it further. So there.

Ah well... I do still want to pursue for a higher education. I hope it will not be too long in the future though. Sigh.

Oh oh oh , back on the gathering tadi, I had a TERRIFIC time girls. Thank you so much for turning up and making it such a fun night for all ;)
