Gurindam Jiwa

Tuai padi antara masak

Esok jangan layu-layuan

Intai kami antara nampak

Esok jangan rindu-rinduan

Anak Cina pasang lukah

Lukah di pasang di Tanjong Jati

Di dalam hati tidak ku lupa

Sebagai rambut bersimpul mati

Batang selasih permainan budak

Daun selasih dimakan kuda

Bercerai kasih talak tiada

Seribu tahun kembali juga.

Burung merpati terbang seribu

Hinggap seekor di tengah laman

Hendak mati di hujung kuku

Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan.

Kalau tuan mudik ke hulu

Carikan saya bunga kemboja

Kalau tuan mati dahulu

Nantikan saya di pintu syurga.

Somebody gave me this song not too long ago.......and now I'm giving him back the same song. It's a wonderful song with such a poetic lyrics. Listening to it makes me my tears flow without me realizing it. Anyway, do enjoy the song as much as I did.

Thanks Celcom !

I received a mail from Celcom today which consist of RM20 Petronas vouchers. It's a small token from Celcom to show their appreciation to their customers. Not bad......not bad at all considering that I've only being their customer for less than a year ! It is such a pleasant surprise even though it's just for RM20.As compared to Maxis where I've been loyal for a few years but I've got nothing in return...hampesss !

Frankly, i dont actually know which is better between these two operators. Firstly, they have so many different plans / packages - I dont even know which one suits me best. Secondly, their plans are always changing. If you're talking to the Celcom salesman, then Celcom is definitely the better choice. But then, when the Maxis salesman explain their products, suddenly Maxis is the one! How meh ???

Anyhow, I'll just stick to Celcom for now. With less than a year of subscription, I've been given a RM20 vouchers, who knows after several years I'll get a much better reward, isnt it? Insyallah, mudah-mudahan.......

Sinusitis

Harini akak MC - that explains the sudden increase of new blog entries for today....hehehehe. Yelah kan, kot ye sakit takkan nak melepek cam kain buruk all day long kan? Sakit tu sakit jugak.....blog harus tetap productive.....tak gitu?

Akak bukan sakit apa pun - just a cold. But then with the current H1N1 epidemic, it's better to be cautious kan. It's good to stay home rather than infecting everybody else in the office & I'm sure my colleague wouldnt want me to be presence as well.

It started yesterday with my normal sneezing due to my sinusitis. However, it gets worsen towards the evening. Normally when this happens, all I need to do to stop those sneezing from prolonging is to swallow my magic pill, Clarinase. But then, since I'm fasting obviously that is not possible. Tu yang terus melarat tuh. Sampai nak bukak mata pun dah payah....dok asik terbersin memanjang.

I dun know about other people but for me, when my sinus starts attacking me it can get really bad. First the non-stop sneezing. I can sneeze 6 - 7 times in a row, repeatedly for a few times in a day. After the sneezings, my body will start to sweat. My eyes starts to itch till I feel like taking them out of my head. Then, my heart started to beat faster than normal. Dunno what kindof sinusitis I'm having but it is that bad. Normally, a tablet of Clarinase helps to stop all these symptoms.



I've been told by a doctor before that sinusitis is not a viral kindof cold. It is more to an allergic reactions. These allergic differs between individuals. Some might get it if they had seafood or even egg. As for me, dust will affect me the most. Apart from the dust, coldness makes me sick too. I remembered one time I had to jog in my hotel room in the wee hours just to heat up my body as the aircond is too cold for me ! What an experience, huh?

After I came to know about Clarinase, these pills will always be in my handbag. This sinusitis can attack out of a sudden. And if it does, at least I've got nothing to worry with my Clarinase in my hand. Kalau tidak, saper yang susah? Akak jugakkkkk !!!! So to those who are also suffering from sinusitis like me, go for Clarinase. It is so far the most effective medication.

My Latest Obsession

Apparently this is my latest obsession......Kinder Bueno! Kindof strange as it comes from somebody who dont actually likes chocolate. I'm not like most of the gals out there who loves chocolate very much. I've never been a chocolate lover ever since I was small. Maybe because I dont get to eat that much of choc. then that makes me in favor of it.

I can be very selective when it comes to chocolate. There are only a few of them that I like - Crispy & Ferrero Rocher. But that doesnt mean I can eat lots of them. The most is a piece of each. More than that makes me feel vomitish already. Lahaiiii....Kg Dot Com betulll !!!

My obsession for this Kinder Bueno started over the weekend when I was doing some groceries shopping at Tesco. These supermarkets are very smart in organizing their products. All supermarket, I'm very sure ALL of them actually placed the sweets, gums & chocolate just beside the cashier counter. So while queuing up to pay, your little ones will surely get drawn to these sweet stuffs.

The same exact thing happened to me (mind you, it's not the first time! ) that day. Marsya saw this Kinder Bueno & she wants it. Not only that, she also did some free promotions on the products. She was explaining to me how nice this particular chocolate is and that I should try it.

Surprisingly, it is indeed very nice. Basically it is a formed, crisp shell filled with a creamy, milky hazelnut paste and covered in a sweet and melty milk chocolate. It is so nice, I've actually bought another 4 bars the next day........hehehehe. I've also discovered that this Kinder Bueno is actually manufactured by Ferrero - the same Italian company that produces Ferrero Rocher chocolates. No wonder la.......

Well, looks like the Italian chocolate is as yummy as their men !

Dan Sebenarnya......

Oh bulan
Enggan melayan diriku lagi
Pabila,
Air mata membasahi pipi
Dan lagu2 di radio seolah2 memerli aku
Pabila,
Kau bersama yang lain

Adakah perasaan benci ini sebenarnya cinta
Yang masih bersemadi untukmu
Dan sebenarnya ku mengharapkan
Di sebalik senyuman mu itu
Kau juga merindui aku

Ku enggan
Berpura pura ku bahagia
Ku enggan
Melihat kau bersama si dia
Oh ku akui cemburu
Telah menular dalam diri
Pabila
Kau bersama yang lain

Pabila kau merenung matanya
Ku rebah,
Jatuh ke bumi
Di saat kau benar-benar mahu pergi
Seperti ku bernafas dalam air

Sleepy Monday

OMG....I dunno how many times have I been yawning this morning. Am so damn sleepy ! Come, let's do some analysis of this catastrophe. What have been the caused of this excessive sleepiness I'm having right now ?

Sleepiness is often caused by inadequate of sleep. So, do I get enuff sleep last nite? Hhmmm......not really I supposed. My usual bed time is @ 10.00 pm the latest. But last nite, I was quite busy cleaning up the house that I've exceeded my usual timing....... rugi, rugi! Akak biar tak cukup makan....jangan tak cukup tidur. Kalo tak cukup tido tu, rasa ralat sesangat2 nyer. Sleeping can never failed to give me the ultimate pressure & satisfaction - it's 10 times better than having sex !

Anyway, it's not really fair to put the blame solely on my lack of sleep. It's actually Monday lah.... My boss is on a half day leave today ( why cant he go on a full day leave....why la???? ). So, this morning I have a lil bit more room to breathe. Not that i dont have work to do...ada sangat yg benor nyer. But then, the atmosphere tend to get a bit comfy when the cat is not around. On top of that, all of the valves that I need to size are the problematic ones....urrgghhhhh !! So, monday + no boss + problematic valves = excessive sleepiness ! Tulunnnn !!!!

You know, when you are really sleepy & you cant sleep, that's the most torturous experience you'll encountered. You'll suddenly got this headache at the top of your head for trying very hard to keep your eyes open. You'll be so miserable you cant even laugh to the funniest joke. Your brain will stop working, and so are your other senses. Your body systems will be paralyzed. In other word, you're like a living dead ! And that's exactly what I'm suffering right now.

I've actually came across this article in the net regarding excessive daytime sleepiness, which is quite scary actually. This is what it says :

The new study found that people who suffered from "significant dozing" — those who almost always fell asleep involuntarily during the day — were 4.5 times more likely to have a stroke than people in the "no dozing" group. The association between sleepiness and stroke was dose-dependent: the sleepier the person, the higher the risk of stroke. People in the "some dozing" group, who sometimes, but not always, fell asleep while watching TV or while sitting quietly after lunch, had a 2.6 higher risk of stroke than their more alert peers.

So, if you're falling asleep every single day watching television or when you try to read a book, that might be something serious. It's good to bring it up the next time you see your physician.

Alexis Tiramisu

I'm really having a blog marathon today as this is the third entry for the day. Ini kira bayar hutang la ni for not having the chance to blog the whole of last week. Sekali dapat peluang.....ha amik nak ko ! Tak kasik can langsung......hehehe. Anyway, that's only the case when I'm into the mood of writing. There are also times when I just dun feel like blogging even though I have all the time in the world. Ironically, the urge to blog is so high when I dont really have the time for it and vice versa. I guess that's how things are in life.

Anyway, this time I'm gonna blog about food - tiramisu in particular. I'm not a big fan of a tiramisu actually coz I hate cheese very much. Come to think of it, I hate cheese as much as I hate durians. The only cheesecake that I could possibly eat & enjoy is the Pralinosa from the Australian Cake House in Jalan Imbi. I love that cake so much - because even though it's a cheesecake, you cant taste the cheese at all ! That's the best part of this Pralinosa.

Last Friday we had a communal birthday celebration for all the July, August & September babies. It used to be a monthly event but then due to the economic turndown, it's now a tri-monthly event.....still, better than nothin', isnt it?

So for this time around, since it's the VP's birthday, they bought this legendary Tiramisu from Alexis. From what I heard it's the best Tramisu in town and after having it, I fully agreed. This particular Tiramisu is like no other Tiramisu I've ever tasted. It has more texture in it...layer by layer, topped with the crunchy roasted peanuts and caramelized sugar pieces, which is by the way, my favourite part. In between the soft sponge cakes are the cheese with bits and pieces of chocolates in it. Tapi tang cheese ni, memang akak reject je lah......tapi tang lain abis je akak bedal !!

As a conclusion, the cake is worth trying for. It is indeed the best Tiramisu in town. You wont get the same satisfaction with other Tiramisu. The Alexis Tiramisu will definitely put a big smile on your face !

p/s Just got to know the price of this marvelous cake - it's RM 126 for 2 kg.

Quick Tips For A Sexy Abs

Earlier while browsing the net, I found something really interesting which I would like to share with you gals out there. Maybe some of you have already known about this but then akak ni memang slow sket.......am always boarding on the last train....ghehehe.

Wokeh, those who wants a flat & sexy abs but too lazy to move up your butt, this is so far the easiest way to achieve it.

Pull your stomach in and up. Just like what you do when you’re zipping a pair of too tight jeans. Hold for 5 seconds and release. Do this at random times throughout the day. You can even do it while sitting in front of your computer ( m doing it now while writing this...hehehe ). One of these simple suck-in moves is the equivalent of a sit-up, so if you do it regularly, you’ll see results fast! Cool huh ?

This sit up thingy by the way reminds me of my so-so fren ( not even my so-so fren, actually ) who claims that she did it everyday & that's why "fat is never in her dictionary" - that famous quote of her! Eksyen tahap gaban tuhhh !!! Puuhhhhhleaseeeeee.........makes me wanna puke !!! Anyway, let's not crowd my not-too-big blog space with stories of her....it's just not worth it.

So gals, I guess the most appropriate time to put this exercise in practice would be after raya la kot. Sebab bulan2 pose ni, tak exercise pun our abs dah flat kan? Hahahaha.......

Ramadhan, The 15th Day

Time really flies....tup tup it's the 15th day of puasa already. Rasa macam baru je semalam akak kat Kuantan makan bubur lambuk on the 1st day of puasa itu hari. Dalam kesibukan dan kekalutan kat opis tu, it has been 2 weeks dah pun.....hhhmmmmm.

Went to the market this morning, mana lagi kalau tak Pasar Pudu - my forever favourite wet market. Senang kat situ - segala mak bapak ada, murah pulak tu. Tak payah nak singgah2 kat tempat lain mencarik bahan yg tak cukup. Pendekata, siapkan duit je lah. There's only one thing most people didnt prefer this market - it's a bit dirty with lots of water puddle here and there. But then, it's worth going if you compare the price & quality of goods you bought at those dry & clean supermarkets. Biasalah....you win some, you lose some. At least harini panas, tak macam last week when it rains......so becak you !!

Balik dari pasar tadi, lalu kat depan pokok2 bunga akak yg hidup segan mati tak mau tu. Tiap kali akak pass by those plants, hati mesti berdetik.......harini nak kena membaja pokok lah. Been having that thought for God knows how many weeks already. Baja dah mcm2 jenis baca dah beli.......organik lah, kompos lah, liquid la.....aduiiihhhhhh ! & speaking of baja, baru teringat, baja taik kambing yg beli kat Pasar Tani kat Kuantan 2 weeks ago, still ada dlm boot keta......tak bawak2 naik lagi pun......huhuhu. Ya Allah...berikan lah aku kekuatan melawan penyakit M nih! Aminnnnn !

On my scooter coming back from the market this morning, I thought of dropping by @ Jamie's house later in the afternoon. I have something that belongs to her which I've been wanting to return for the past few months...yes months, not days, not weeks ! Jamie......if you're reading this, ya ampunnnnn !!! It's half past 2 now & I'm still here writing this entry, with so, so much more things outstanding : dun even have my bath yet.....havent mop my dirty kitchen.....havent sweep the floor......havent water my plants (let alone fertilizing them).......havent make-up my bed.....and yet i can still blog....sigh. Seriously, I dont think I cud make it to Jamie's house today....maybe I should re-schedule it for tomorrow then, Insyallah.

Ini lah padahnya kalau dah melekat ngan notebook ni. It started with checking my fren's status in FB. Then one thing lead to another ....and for all I know, I'm now writing this entry ( while watching Marsya practising her so-called moonwalk dance......you go gurl !! ). This has always been the case for me - torn apart between responsibility & pleasure.

Ok then, with the amount of work waiting for me, I think I'd better stop here. Too many things to do, yet too little time.

Anyway, selamat berbuka puasa to all......



p/s BTW, menu berbuka pose akak harini : Sambal Berapi Sardin, Ayam Goreng Kunyit & Bayam Goreng. Kira okay lah ni kan ?

Such A Hectic Week

I have been super busy this whole week.....the nonexistence of any new entries from me well explained the situation I'm currently in. I so wanna blog, really....I could hear my blog calling out for my name every now and then....begging and pleading very hard for me to write a word or two..... but what can I do.... both of my hands are tied.

It has been a very demanding week for me - as an employee as well as a mother. One of my colleague is currently on a maternity leave & I am responsible to take over her load during her absence. I cant remember the last time I've been this busy....I mean, continuously busy for 5 consecutive days ! Not a single moment that allows me to either blogging or even FB-ing.....huhuhu.

Due to the fasting month, all muslim employees in my office are allowed to leave 1 hour earlier. Sounds fair, isn't it. Sadly, after 2 weeks of fasting, only for 2 days I managed to flee back @ 4.30 pm. As for the rest of the days, it's so depressing. The earliest would be 5.30 pm and the latest is 6.15 pm. By the time I reached home, I'll have to transform myself to a superwoman as I only got an hour or so to prepare the buka puasa dishes.

Betapa berat mata anda membaca...berat lagi bahu akak yang memikulnya.......huhuhu. I think once my colleague is back from her maternity leave, I ought to celebrate it.....I need a long vacation to compensate all those stressful days during that 2 dreadful months !
