back down memory lane

sejak hari sabtu aritu, tetibe asyik mengimbau kenangan lalu..hehehe..

terganggu dengan peristiwa lalu sebenarnye..all of the sudden everything seems to be coming back to my mind..how things happened, what could have caused it, how did we dealt with it, the people involved..everything..

konon2 ghost of boyfriends past la..budget cm movie tu..
true enough things happened for a reason..i have to admit, it is awkward having to see them and knowing that i'll still be seeing them..

i used to think that i can put all the memories in one box and keep it safely at the back of my mind, hoping that none of it will pop up in my present life ever again..but god proved me wrong..
he knows better what's best for all of us..

the world seems much much more smaller by the day

panjang sungguh title post harini..but it's true, it is getting smaller to me.

smlm my parents buat open house, so me and hubster went back to help out.

everything went well, (emo sket ngan makcik katerer sbb marah2 org nak pinjam cerek and gula)..the open house started at about 12.00 noon mcm tu. mak masak laksa and paru goreng..yana kot buat custard jagung..then from caterer, soto, nasi impit, nasi goreng cina, rendang and kuah kacang..

ramai org yg datang..alhamdulillah food semua sedap...dah petang sket, me and hubster kuar g cuci kete jap..(everytime balik sana mesti g cuci kete sbb murah, hehehe) balik rumah sambung layang org, then baru sedar lampu belakang kete x de lansung..so kuar balik ngan hubster betulkan lampu..x sangke ada big surprise waiting at home..

bila sampai rumah nampak ada org datang..mak uda and pak uda with dek da and her husband..x kisah pon la..mak uda ngan pak uda mmg our close family fren. i practically knew them dari the 1st day i was born..their kids, fahmi, dek da and adila mmg childhood frens..dulu rapat gile mcm adik beradik..masuk rumah, salam2, then trus kuar tlg yana nad mal kemas2..x perasan ape sgt lagi..

then masuk rumah nak g dapur, bumped into dek da's hubby..x pegi kenduri dia dulu, so x pernah tau pon sape suami dia..bertembung face to face kat dlm rumah..pastu cm sentap jap..

dalam otak pk "why do i think i know this guy?" dia pon mcm terkejut, tp we both cm x ckp pape pon..dlm otak terus try to put the puzzle together..dek da nye husband dok kat batu gajah, rumah dekat ngan masjid, they are both teachers..think2..pastu baru cm "OMG, is he .....?" keluar rumah tanya yana, tp lupe time yana masuk bainun dia dah kuar..tgk dia kat luar sembang2 ngan hubster..

time derang g surau sembahyang maghrib, tanya kat mak uda sape nama suami dekda..mak uda kata "Ikram"..pastu tanya dekda pulak, nama dia Khairul Ikram ke? sekolah kat Bainun dulu?" dekda kata "ye..dia sekolah kat Bainun dulu. Ikram kata mcm kenal Alia" dalam hati "How can this be happening? APEKAH?"

Her husband is my sort of "ex" but i won't say ex because ktrg slalu on phone or email je, no dating..kire cm pernah get involved jelah..tp mcm, haish..faham x?

adoi, kecik betul dunia ni..bila derang balik from surau, i was upstairs iron tudung..dengar la he asked bapak about me..and i can hear cleraly they talked about me..now semua org tau we know each other-schoolmate..hubster kata "lepas ni mesti dia x nak dtg sini lagi dah" hahahah...

kecik kn dunia ni?

Nik GM - from facebook to parenthood

smlm first time biar fb on kt bb the whole day. around kul 1.50 cmtu, after lunch tgh bosan2..saje la check fb..nampak status gm pasal demam, and x sihat..saje tambah2 comment tnye nik preggy ke. pastu trus whatsapp nik..tp bukan nik yg reply, en suaminye plak yg dok reply..dari kul 2 dok pening x tau dia main2 ke betul..kate tgh tunggu nak jpa doktor la..confius dibuatnye..pastu msg nik plak..so end up whatsapp gm and msg nik pasal benda yg sama and sebenarnye derang pon ada bersama je..

x tau kenape, tp org pon excited sama..tibe2 lak nervous bila gm kata nik dah masuk bilik jpa doktor nak buat test. nervous and excited x terkata sampai berenti jap buat contract..sabar jelah! sebelom tu boleh je whatsapp, sms and buat keje..bila dpt tau result tu, happy x terkata for them..x leh bayangkan derang nye happy mcm mana..

alhamdulillah...ya allah, kau permudahkan lah bagi mereka segala urusan, kuatkanlah nik supaya dia dapt melalui saat indah ini dengan mudah dan gembira..walaupon nanti mereka akan berjauhan, kau lindungilah mereka ya allah..

this is a couple that i really love..both my friends, both i care about..x sabarnye nak tunggu little nik gm to arrive!! :)

kisah derang ni mmg klasik..from facebook to parenthood! :)

Paparazzi plan

i always have this surprise photoshoot in mind, but i don't know when to do it and who to hire. my plan is not to have the normal photoshoot where you pose for the camera with proper dressing, makeup and venue. my plan is not to tell hubster anything. just hire a photographer to follow us (unnoticed of course) when we go out dating. snap photos of us together without us noticing it. sort of like a planned but candid pictures without hubster knowing it. mcm paparazzi sort of thing. i know that hubster doesn't read my blog..so, it is safe to write it here. :) but to all of u reading, DON'T SPILL THIS TO HIM.

the problem now is, i don't know who to hire and when to do it. i know a few photographers, but not sure who to hire. i need to have a proper plan for this. i need to start planning the venue, what to do...eh, but if i didn't plan anything pon mcm fun jugak kn? just go with the flow.. :) hmm..nice!!

ok, i'll start planning..target date - before November. wish me luck!! :)

Kisah Ramadhan

tahun ni, first time puasa as a wife..angan2 tinggi, konon nak bangun masak sahur everyday and mask for berbuka everyday..tp since duduk rumah in-law, sampai puasa ke 4 x pernah dpt nak masak for sahur or buka puasa.

reason being, everyday mother-in-law yg masak sbb dia sampai rumah dulu everyday. ktorg (me & hubster) plak everyday sampai rumah 2-3 minit sebelum azan. confirm la x sempat nak buat pape pon. certain org maybe suka sbb balik2 dah ada food, tp hati ni sedih sgt sbb x dpt nak masak.. :(

1st day puasa, hubster MC, so balik naik komuter. masuk lambat aritu, so kul 6 baru bleh balik (memo balik awal x kuar lagi time tu). sampai kl sentral from klcc dah kul 6.20. sampai je, komuter time tu pon elok je gerak..nak berebut pon x boleh sbb mmg dah pack sgt2. nasib baik bawak slipper..kalau tak mmg tersiksa la kasi pkai heels. next train tulis kul 6.50..g shah alam dlm 45 mins..kn bukak puasa dlm train la kirenye..tetibe, ktm announce train tu cancel sbb masalah teknikal (biasa lah tu, sentiasa mcm tu) next train kul 7.36. sentap semua org kat situ..speechless semua..bukak puasa kul 7.30! semua terdiam, tetibe ada nyonya cina sorang marah2, emo gile dia train cancel..kelakar..org lain x larat nk bising kot sbb puasa..tp semua org pon rasa cm nyonya tu..so, bukak puasa kat tepi platform je..nasib baik dah beli air siap2..sedih sgt..tp nak wat cane..terpaksa..

2nd day, balik kul 5.15..as usual kn naik cab g office hubster sbb kalau dia msuk kl nti jam, nk kuar pon jam..buat ape 2x jam kn? so, biar la dia tunggu kat office..senang sket nk balik from dutamas tu. alhamdulillah jalan x jam..sampai dutamas around 6pm..x jam pon sejam jugak la..happy sbb hubster bwk g bazar ramadan..siap pegi dua bazar lagi, ttdi & pkns shah alam..

3rd day, kuar kul 5.10..naik cab..jam sgt2..from klcc to ijn je pon dah sejam..sampai dutamas kul 6.30..konon2 nak buka kat luar, tp dpt tau mummy (in-law) dah masak, so divert balik shah alam..sampai rumah kul 7.27pm

4th day, kuar kul 5.00, sampai dutamas kul 6.00..tp bukak puasa kat luar..g marche, the curve.. :)

harini, x tau lagi cane..tp letih la kalau everyday kn redah jam mcm tu..mcm lagi cepat kalau dok jauh2 cm seremban ke, putrajaya ke, bangi ke..officemate dok bangi bleh sampai rumah in less than 1 hour..weekend confirm nak masak!! :)

topic HOT FM

lately ni selalu dengar Hot FM bila dlm kete. pelik jugak tibe2 hubster plak yg volunteer tukar. selalunye hubster xkn bg lansung bukak radio melayu. tp now dia plak yg lagi tau lagu melayu. hehehe..

tp tu bukan topic yg nk diperkatakan. sejak dua tiga hari ni, topic kat hot banyak pasal relationship.."2 dalam 1", "cintaku ibarat lalang"..mcm2 la..kadang2 topic tu sbnarnye x la directly pasal relationship, tp ramai yg call or sms yg related to r/ship. scary jugak bila dengar org buat pengakuan kat radio kata dah kawin, tp ada kekasih gelap..yg ada affair ngan suami or isteri org, tp x sanggup nak let go..ada jugak yg both dah kawin, tp ada affair ngan husband/wife org lain. ya allah, sumpah x sangka.

mcm marriage tu dah x de nilai pulak. kenapa boleh jadi sampai mcm tu? and baru je earlier this week officemate cite pasal kwn dia kantoi ngan wife sbb ada affair ngan perempuan lain (yg dah kawin and dah ada anak).. sedih sgt bila dengar cite mcm tu. apala perasaan pasangan yg innocent x tau pape, pastu tetibe dpt tau diduakan? yg kawan officemate tu, anak baru setahun..kenape sampai hati buat mcm tu?

hmm..kdg2 kita x kan faham apa yg buat org jadi mcm tu, sbb kita bukan kat tpt derang..tp hati ni tiap2 hari doa semoga perkara macam tu xkn terjadi pada kami suami isteri..kita x tau apa akan jadi in the future..kalau sakit break up pon x tertanggung, x dpt bayangkan kalau terjadi pada pasangan suami isteri, kecuali yg mmg berpisah secara elok dan sukarela antara both.

"Ya Allah, tetapkan hati aku dan suamiku, kekalkan lah kasih sayang and kemesraan antara kami hingga ke hembusan yg terakhir, lindungilah hubungan kami dari gangguan jin & syaitan, juga dari aniaya angkara manusia"..amin...

Visit to Angel Spa

Last Friday, due to the road closure in view of the "rally", we were given early time out. balik awal la kiranya. around 3.30, semua org dpt email kata boleh balik kul 4pm. yay!! :) tapi x dpt pon balik kul 4. friday kot, kul 4 la nak start pape issue pon.

tp berjaya jugak balik kul 5pm. gumbira rasanya! excited sbb nak g PD later that night. bilik semua dah book, tenang sket. took a cab to hubster nye office, and arrived there around 5.20. lambat lagi baru hubster bleh balik. so, g la jalan2..and decided to try Angel Spa. dah banyak kali lalu situ before this, tp x berani nak try sbb x pernah baca review about this spa.

i know that this spa have 4 types of different treatment rooms (you can google to check the rooms). selamber je walk in, x buat appointment ape pon. luckily they are available at that time.

after tgk their menu, and considering that i only have 1 hour to spare, i chose the Relaxing massage for 60 mins. mind you, this is my first time going for massage in Malaysia. nervous jugak la.

first tukar pkai slipper dulu, then they asked me whether i need to go to the ladies first or not, which i immediately said YES! after that the girl lead me to the treatment room. i got the Morrocon inspired room! :) this treatment room is catered for single person. it's actually quite nice. the room was dimly light, with nice deep red decor. there is a bath tub in the room, maybe for those who chose to have the body scrub. anyway, there is a locker in the room. Yay! that is a good thing to me as i know my belongings will be kept close to me (instead of the common locker room, far far away from the treatment room). so, a big smile for that! :)

the treatment bed and the cute tub

the beautifully decorated ceiling centre piece

i love the wall!

the massage girl gave me towel, disposable panties and leave me to change. i really love the ambiance of the room. seriously helps to get you in the mood and relax. owh, another good thing is, the room temperature was just nice. i hate those ice cold treatment rooms..this one, is just right! :) the massage was ok. to me it could be better. (maybe dia x berani nak buat bersungguh-sungguh sbb i'm thin kot) hehehe..but she was very nice and she managed to unknot some of the stubborn nerves. All in all, i didn't regret going there.

Angel Spa gave 20% discount to Solaris Dutamas's occupants. i got the discount somehow. :)

the price is quite standard with other spas, so the discount actually helps.

will i be going back there again?

yes, i will..i want to try the body scrub :)
