peniaga bumiputera

i thot i could rest from d market but it seems that i cant.
so unpredictable but that makes it more exciting.

on sunday, as usual, hubby brought us 'jalan2' in d car, no destination, literally juz 'makan angin'. seriuosly, i had to wind down the window coz that's d only way to make omar excited and not so restless. so basically, he really did MAKAN ANGIN with his mouth open all d way.
nway, while jalan2, saw a 'gerai air tebu' and decided to make a pit stop. rania kept asking what is air tebu and i was so excited to show her until...d peniaga bumiputera said, 'abis...'

but i did see some peeled ones behind d table.

i looked at hubby, he looked at me.

i uttered slowly, "baru pukul 6ptg engkau dah abih air tebu?"

itulah dia peniaga bumiputera, tuan2 dan puan2...

"bila tak bagi peluang, marah...dah bagi peluang, ala-kadar..."

the enemy within

what would u do if u bumped into an enemy accidentally?

God knows how hard i prayed so as not to bump into her!!
the history that i had with this particular person is beyond anybody's imagination. i was manipulated by this person and i swore i will never be near her, ever again.
she was d one who said we cant be friends because her husband said so.
can u imagine there is such a person in this world?
we were good friends! really, really good. then she married this a**hole whom i have nothing in common with. trust me, u dont want to be near this guy. he was like a parasite! he said bad things bout other ppl and d worst thing was, he said bad things bout ME to.....
guess who?
my hubby!
u know when they say 'ngumpat mengalahkan pompuan?'
that's him.
how low can u be?

true, i dont have many friends. that's because i dont like to mix with ppl that i have nothing in common with. i tried, trust me. i tried mixing with ppl that some friends introduced me to but after being backstabbed many times, enuf is enuf.

EVERYBODY'S FAKING, seriously.

u hang out together and tried laughing to all d jokes that's not funny in the first place;
u acted like u were among the cool crowd but in reality, u're not;
u thot 'wow! they like me!' which was actually bu**shit;
u played their game......
until u realised that it was all a fake.
i was lucky i realised earlier. doesnt matter anymore if they still b*tched bout me.
God has been fair to me, that's all that matters.

and this enemy i was telling bout, it was a blessing when i forgot to wear my specs. of all things, i forgot d most important thing which was my spectacles. so, basically, i couldnt see. but since i was so lazy to turn back, i juz went ahead to run errands.
but that face!!
i could tell it was her though d image was blurry.
i turned away d moment my brain was telling it was really her.
if i had worn my specs, i'm sure my expression would betray me.
thank God for that!

bird park trip

it was his first trip to bird park. he almost dozed off when we parked but d moment he saw d birds, he was extremely excited. he chased turkeys, peacocks and roosters.

no fear at all, unlike his big sis.

nampak tak kepala menyibuk tu...?

with one leg in, he tried to be as close as possible to d white parrot.


halfway thru, we saw a playground.
we took a breather while they played.

this is what rania drew when she came to my office.

i had to paste it on the wall.

from left to right : omar, rania, me!, daddy.

theme : at the beach.

cuppacakes?? to hell with it

u know what?
i think ive told ppl that ive cancelled my order with cuppacakes due to the extremely difficult steps for u to adhere. in the disclaimer stated that if i didnt pay until a certain date, that means the order is deemed cancelled. so i didnt pay.
and today, d MORONs FROM CUPPACAKES called me asking whether do i still want to order. i said no. d MORON asked me, why didnt i call them to inform? i said, in ur email stated i dont have to call to cancel. d MORON again said, next time pls call us if u want to cancel.

THERE WONT BE A NEXT TIME U MORON!

gua hangin satu badan...

is that how u speak to a potential customer? even if they have baked and send it to me, i would have paid! why are u running d business as if ure selling furnitures?

as if ure cakes are d best!! ive been ordering from so many ppl but this one takes the podium for being d most difficult one to order!

ptui!! ptui!!

camno...?

ive cancelled my order with cuppacakes. u know why?
they were making it extremely difficult for ppl to order.
u cant sms, or call. u gotta use email only. not only that, after making payment, u gotta send them thru email the receipts! absolutely ridiculous! ive been ordering cakes from other places and this is the most difficult one. 'mcm nak beli perabot!'

--------------------------------------------

i thinki'll be resting for a while. from my job i mean.
d market is killing us.
a very wise friend advised me two weeks ago to sell all and juz get hold of all the cash.
but we r only human. human are a greedy lot, i must say.
u dont let go all, u would want to wait.
hoping and hoping and hoping for it to come back.
it didnt.
yesterday was d most stressful day.
but the hope is still there.

ok kids, here i come!

jgn jeles y'all.....

ok, finally.

cupcakes from cuppacakes.

it was a hassle to order from them, though i still think they should make it easier for ppl to get hold of their products. i didnt realise they're selling it at a place which is juz below my office. my sis told me. i went, i saw, and i bought. limited selection though. and for rm4 per piece, a bit pricey coz it's small. but what the heck...

d taste? not bad...a bit sweet. took one and i had to gulp a glass of water.

note the white cover / kertas / alas / wrapper...( i dont know what it's called)

i hate it coz susah giler nak makan.

someone mentioned, 'tak pernah jumpa org gila cupcake mcm ni.'

i ordered this yesterday and collected it today. juz b4 my sis informed bout cuppacakes.

bought a dozen of d pink ones (it's lemon vanilla actually) and the guy tossed me d choc one for free. i was jumping when he said he'd let me taste it. but the choc one didnt taste as nice as d pink one.

oh, i think i'm in heaven...

apologies not accepted

i dont think we should forgive the guy who rapped the negaraku song. insulting the song is one thing, but to insult the malays and muslims in general? and ure telling me not to be a racist? how can i not be? when i saw his father on tv last nite, he didnt look sincere at all. he was juz apologizing for d sake of apologizing. it was like, 'ok, i will apologize as long as the malays would leave me alone.' and the political party representing him would definitely do it for their political mileage!

sourgrape ke??

i was withdrawing money at atm when i saw an ex schoolmate. i saw her once and i went up to her and said hi. but she was less enthusiastic the last time. i told a friend, 'menyesal tegur.' but then, it was in me to go and approach old friends / foes no matter what. and i wasnt even being liked back then. unlike my good friend who was so likeable during our school days, she sometimes refused to acknowledge some ex scholmates. ok, back to the story, i saw her first and when we finally met eye to eye, both of us looked like we didnt want to acknowledge each other. i acted that way due to the not-so-friendly-hi the first time around and her action must be triggered by my past images.
somehow i think that she sees herself as the succesful one among all. u know, like, 'look at me ppl! i'm running my own business u know...' and everybody knows d business is a profitable one. i always dislike her tone in the group. i'm not being sourgrape here. it's difficult to explain though. (ida, i miss gossiping with u...)

how do u measure success by the way......
----------------------------------------------------------------

on sunday, a friend was supposed to come to my house. it was cancelled twice so when she finally decided to come on sunday, i prepared everything. i waited until 7p.m. and i'm d type that dislike to have visitors during maghrib. so when she called at 7.05 telling me that she was on her way, i said i wont be around. i mean, i waited for u the whole day and now ure telling me u wanna come over? during maghrib? i was disappointed not because of d lost cause but more to not respecting my time. didnt it ever occur to u that i may have plans at night? i didnt go anywhere the whole day coz ive been waiting for u!

more on cupcakes

woohoo!

ive received overwhelming feedback regarding cupcakes. dont worry, i'm still in the hunt for the best cupcakes in town.
there's this one website that kucingorengemok gave me. the picts are deliciously beautiful. but i still have nightmares (exaggerating a bit) on the last one i ordered simply based on pictures. hambar giler ok.
so yeah, i'm still browsing the picts in this latest discovery. but ppl, pls check out the delivery boys. cute siot...!! hahaha
juz go to http://cuppacakes.blogspot.com
i might order some. to leng and linfah, i dont mind giving out some to u girls.
and also not forgetting ida and ja...if only i could pass it to u two...

but ida, ur 'side' of cupcakes lagi sodap laa! :)

and the hunt continues....

by now i'm sure everybody knows i looooooooooooooooooove cakes so much.

on friday, picked up this choc cake with extra pink icing from the usual place.

this cake is so sinfully delicious! we ordered coz all of us were craving for it.

no special occasion. juz for personal consumption.

the same cake before cutting. pretty and delicious!

on saturday nite, i forced hubby to go this one place i saw in the newspaper.

and the trip was worth it!

i bought a dozen!

the picture is not that great here but among all, this is definitely my favourite.

on sunday, kucingorengemok gave me this.

how sweet of her to remember me over d weekend.

all in all, it was yummy weekend...

another one bites the dust

last tuesday, i decided to bring omar to my office. it was his first time. i thot i could handle him. boy, was i wrong!!
he wasnt afraid of anybody, or even anything! d moment he stepped into my room, he started climbing my chair, heading straight to my pc, and rania juz cant stop laughing!!
she even asked sarcastically, 'bestkan, ada baby boy ni kan, mummy?'
hmmmmmm.......

this is what i saw on my way to work this morning. infact, this is the second car i saw at the same place. it's the same make and model. i have never liked going thru this stretch but sometimes i've got no choice. i do try to avoid this road as much as possible. my dad would always say the same thing everytime we passed by this road.
'ntah apa jenis org dok kat sini ntah...'
it's true.
d ppl from this place would park haphazardly. as long as they could squeeze their cars, anything goes. i've seen a few shady characters roaming around. God knows what are they up to.

obladi oblada, life goes on...

rania have already seen 'simpsons the movie'. with my mum of course.
so when i told her that i planned to watch (but do not know when), she said she wanted to watch again. i said, ok, u can go with me.
this is d next conversation.
'bole tak mummy jgn pakaikan rania baju sama mcm hari tu.'
why?
'nanti org wayang tu marah sebab tengok 2 kali.'
????

---------------------------------------------------------------

hari merdeka is coming soon.
can u pls tell me what does it mean to u?
in all newspapers, they keep stressing on racial unity, racial harmony, bla, bla, bla...
but seriously, do these ppl actually walk the talk?
u can say all u want but do they have followers at least?
definitely not me!
we dont even smile to each other anymore!
like in the elevator, do u smile to d person who's standing next 2 u?
the usual thing ppl would do is to pretend sending smses.
dont tell me uve never done that.
men dont give way to women anymore, kids dont respect the elders anymore, and i havent even started on racial issues...!
i even asked myself sometimes, why do i find it difficult to adapt to the idea of racial harmony.
is something wrong with me?
but i do know i'm not alone.........

comparisons gone wrong

ive juz deleted a whole paragraph.
i was pouring my heart out. d moment i was done with it, i asked myself, do i want ppl to read what it was all about?
when it involves family members, i have to be careful.
but i was so, so sad that i had to put it on words. after reading what i wrote, i decided not to post it.
some things are better left unsaid.
i might juz have to sulk, i guess.
oh, i wish i could disappear right this moment with hubby and kids.
sometimes i wish i could go as far away as possible...away...away from everybody at the moment.
it's sad when someone compares u with others.
and 'that others' are somebody that u urselves do not know.
so, how can u compare in the first place?
i wanted to ask...but i hesitated too long and the moment passed.
at the moment, i'm sulking for reasons only i myself know.
i juz wish that 'that particular someone' would be a little bit more understanding.
what she went thru is totally different from what im going thru.
she had help. i dont.
things like this make me want to disappear.
u dont have to see me, i dont have to see u.
but things are not that simple, eh?

feeling under d weather

ive been feeling under the weather for the past 2 days. flu, cough. rania is almost cured. now omar starts to show symptoms of having flu. last nite couldnt sleep. it's a burden actually coz i dont like it when i'm not capable of taking of care of my kids.

i had lunch with a friend today. thot of wanting to cancel it coz i juz dont have d energy. but seriously, i was so happy to see her that i totally forgot bout my sickness for a while. i feel that one hour is not enuf for us to do some gossiping.

u'll be able to see civic type r and hybrid on the road soon.

i still wish for the 2-door uk version.

this is d closest i could get...
