Lucky Twenty Eight

28th March. I turned 28.

Late twenties, ey?

Took a day off and spent the day at home, went to see him at work for lunch. No flowers, nothing. Not even a white paperbag with six black letters printed on it *shakes head*. For a husband who's office is behind a shopping mall, and nothing in his hand?

Cry.

No, nothing under the table too I assure you.

Ok, kidding. He actually gave me something he probably have been regretting for a week now. Sort of gave me a get-anything-you-want for a weekend. Yes, he gave that to a girl who can be in a shopping mall and shop online at the same time. Haha.

..but on my birthday, I forced him to take half day off for me and we were eating everywhere non stop. I felt sick at the end of it. Haih.

I gave up with taking pictures after eating sushi like crazy with him. That is because I will never have a family dinner eating sushi. They asked me what I wanted for birthday and I said sushi, but they said more than half of them will not turn up for my birthday dinner if...japanese food.

Hmm.

Also, Happy Birthday to other awesome people who have the same birthday as me- Greg, Aunty Niki, Uncle Mi and Lady Gaga!

Thanks to everyone who wished!

Doughnut with..

Sunday Morning.

Woke Azrin up with a "I need something sweet" (I blame that time of the month). We've been planning to try this doughnut place I read about but its been a crazy weekend since our moving date is getting closer. So stressful, guys! Everything and everyone seem to not know how to listen to orders *breathe in, breathe out*.

So we were heading to Subang to have doughnut + ice cream for breakfast (yumms!) since it is in Empire, as we were turning in and I opened to check which floor is the place located..

"Uh oh. It is in empire damansara la B. Opens at 12. Too early now"

Haih.

We went there for dinner.

Cosy place. Delicious doughnuts! So yummy. Definitely not enough for us, though!

*wipes drool*

Fiskee Dough - yumms!

Cooookies

When Azrin and I were figuring out where to go for dinner, it will be such a fun topic every night (one of the plus point for having a wife who does not know how to cook!) and we really don't need to have chicken rice or burgers, but can go straight to dessert.

So the whats-for-dinner conversation can go something like

"You want waffles?"
"Maybe brownies"

I am quite surprised when my sugar level was normal the whole time before and during my time at the hospital two weeks ago. Thankful, but surprised. I think even the doctors were surprised!

Anyway, Nurul told me to try this cookie place in Kota Damansara so off I went with Azrin for dinner (hehe!) last night. Nurul said it was too sweet, I thought it was a bit on the sweet side but Azrin thought it was "not that sweet".

Whaaaaat?! So it is true when people say you marry someone like your father. Yes, my father who thinks krispy kreme is "tak manis sangat". I better get them insulin ready.

Love the place. One serving of the cookie ice cream sandwich is enough for me. Love the choice they have, though.

Will definitely go again.

Big Girl

One of the reason I made all three doctors of mine sign the yes-you-may-get-out-of-her-form was because it was Little Niece's birthday. Hehe yes, SIL would reschedule the dinner and all but...never!

Only child/niece/grandchild syndrome.

So off I went with a bit of dizzyness, holding on to Azrin looking for something cute for her, before heading to the birthday dinner.

Such a big girl now. I bought her this cute t-shirt with a cat and her name. I mean, I know she wants make up and stilettos but I'm in denial. No! She is still a little girl who plays with toys.

You know, she came back from kindy, reporting this guy is cute, that guy is cute AND she has a boyfriend! (well, that's what she said) *gulp*. 

*hides all my make up*

I don't know who she gets this gedik-ness from seriously, not her mommy, obviously not her Aunty Adik the super nerdy, stay-at-home kind of girl.

Haih *shakes head*. Hehe

So it was a fun dinner, especially after a whole week at the hospital. The rest continued the night with karaoke (Little Pei insisted!) while I went home because my head was spinning like Kylie Minogue already.

What we all know is that we are all taking leave that one day next year to send her for her first day of school *wipes tear*. Nothing cool can come out of that, Fa. Your aunties, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, mom, dad all holding hands outside your class all day, possibly with packets of nasi lemak. Sorrayh!

Heh.

Positivity

As some of you may already know (yes, all four of you who reads my blog) I was admitted in the hospital for the whole week last week for a minor operation. Just a sinus related surgery, but they had to run a few tests before the surgery, which explains the 5 day admission.

I had healthy brown rice everyday, and I gained 2 kgs when I got discharged. Maybe because they made nasi lemak and nasi dagang out of the brown rice, or maybe Azrin brought over kfc over every night from work. I guess we will never know the cause of that 2 kilos, ey?

Everyone in the hospital, from the doctors, nurses, food lady, even cleaners were all super duper nice. They treated me like their sister, coming over to have a chat with me while I was all alone in my room during the day.

One thing that they all said about me is that I am positive.

Honestly, I did not know that about myself, until they talked about it over and over again. From the moment I drove myself to the hospital for admission to the point where I convinced them I could breathe without help, a few hours after getting out of the OT.

The more "chirpy" I become, the more helpful people around me are. I believe that as long as I can handle something by myself, I'm all good, which is why I told Azrin not to take leave the whole whole time I was admitted but just come whenever he can because I know he is super busy at work (psst btw, he was kinda the talk of the icu among the nurses! I was snoring away and one nurse came and woke me up "Puan, I am your nurse for the night shift ya, the petang shift nurse cakap your husband very handsome ya")

Haha.

I texted Azrin "B, tomorrow make sure you wear cantik cantik and come. And smile charmingly to the nurses. Mana tau, maybe I dapat extra food"

So alhamdulillah everything went well with the surgery. Thanks to my positivity, I guess I convinced the doctors to take that annoying oxygen thingy off, also I got discharged from the hospital a few days early.

See, keep the negativity away from you and good things will come. Now back to work!

Bring some tissues, guys!

Triple Date

Haven't seen my makciks for just too long already, so at last, met for an amazing dinner last night, minus one makcik who was just too busy working (growing up sucks, huh?). Even last night, everyone was late, since the traffic was just so cantik, except for Fara and Bahagia, where they finished gym and everything, but the rest of us were still not there yet.

Note to self : Apply for next job out of kl area.

I guess dinner yesterday was mainly to celebrate our newly engaged Fara and Bahagia. Congratulations, guys! Final wedding in the group for us to attend *clap clap*.

Some of the conversations among the makciks.

Fara : For my wedding, you guys should wear belacan pink.
Me : Oh no, Sofi is gonna come in green! You should've said green.
Sofia : I think I'll wear my baju pengantin. If can still fit la.

Sofia : Pengantins will always be the ones who won't enjoy the food at their own wedding
Fara : Itu la! My wedding nanti ada one whole kambing, I told my mom to simpan one whole leg for me
Me : Tak pelik ke if people tengok your kambing got three kaki only?
Sofia : Its ok, if people ask, say the kambing patah kaki.

The boys were just eating away. Haha.

So good to talk about nonsense with the girls sometimes. Used to do it everyday from morning to night *shakes head*

Sofi is excited with food

Have fun in Jakarta, Bing!

Couple of Hours

I tell you, Azrin and I have been in quite a roller coaster the past few weeks. Azrin have been working for more than 12 hours everyday. So while waiting for him, I will be trying to solve a some problem that just keeps coming.

First, a few issues with the constructions here and there with the new house, and we need to move in by April. Pray that we will not be homeless. Then about the car, they told me the last time they could fix everything, but they called me last week and said it is a "total loss". Haih. Also, I have been going in and out the hospital for checkups, and will be going for a minor operation next week. Please please pray that everything will be ay ok for me. Nothing major though, but still.

So with all this shannanigs going on, I thought my brain just can't handle it no more for now. Too much thinking. I told Azrin maybe we just need some time out. Like a few hours of ignoring every single problems we have, enjoying one or two scoops of ice cream and talk about things like unicorns. You know, real stuff.

"Eh, include la Amyra Rosli in the picture" - Azrin

Good couple of hours.

Now lets get back to solving problems.

- Superman & Supergirl

Out of Fourteen

If y'all are not into mushy stuff, please move the cursor to the top right and click. Won't be suitable.

Yesterday before we went to bed, Azrin was reading an article on his phone, loudly.

Let's see. I was pretending to sleep.

1. She is smarter than you.
Him : Haha of course la, duh

2. She is honest.
Him : I guess so. Yes la kut.

3. She has a positive outlook.
Him : Oh yes.

4. She compromises.
Him : Most of the time.

5. She laughs at your jokes.
Him : Hehehehe. She have to. 

6. She has an open heart.
Him : *gave me a kiss*

7. She supports your goals and pursues her own
Him : Well, she is the reason I am where I am now.

8. She has good relationships with her parents
Him : Of course!

9. She is kind
Him : Yes, except to Bentencho *looks at Bentencho*

10. She remains calms in fights and calms you down too
Him : Now, yes. Back then, hell no. Haha

11. She does foolish things with you
Him : All. The. Time.

12. She has a life of her own.
Him : Maybe?

13. She accepts your flaws.
Him : ...and I accept hers.

14. She does not bear grudges.
Him : Ha!! This one no! No way!

"Hmm..13 out of 14. Ok la tu. That's why takda lain"

Pfft. He knew I was just pretending to sleep, that's why all the sweet-talking came out. Right?

Hehe. Kisses.

Casual Outing

Throughout the number of years of friendship between my girlfriends and I, we always have a few names for each other.

Like Sofia for example, started of with Sofi, Po, Posie, Peah, Fie and many more. As for me, they used to call me Sha, Shepie, Cik P, Pah. So now, to make things easier for my girls and I, we just call each other Makcik. Hehe.

Anyway, Sofia have been asking me to come over to her new place since there is a good cheese naan place somewhere there and we have quite a lot of catching up to do.

Little Lilly is growing up so so fast!

Aunty Sha : Lilly, when you grow up, be just like Kim Kardashian ok. I will show you who she is
Sofia : Nooooo
Hazren : Eh!

Yes!

It was nice just talking about old days, our future and as usual I will be the first one to be sleepy.

Round Two

I have been going around all kinds of specialists in different hospitals all over the place. Assunta, Damansara Specialists, Ramsay, you name it I've checked myself in. The doctors know there is something wrong about me but they can't seem to find what is wrong. Weird, because even I don't feel so good sometimes, but I just don't know why.

Tests, scans, all the results came out as perfectly fine. Alhamdulillah, but then what is up with me? Even the doctors are confused. Last week I went to a new doctor (rolls eyes), but there are these three letters that I don't ever want to here from a doctor (I think you guys should pray that they won't say them to you too!)

MRI

*cry*

My heart stopped for a bit. I did it once a couple of years back, but they did not find anything weird (thank god!) but she thinks we should give it another try, this time at a specific place because their machine is more high tech and maybe they can see...err, deeper?

Haih.

So yes, I just finished my MRI and to be honest I am still shivering. You see, my claustrophobia is hrmm. Lets just say I would not step into a lift with more than four people. Keep that in mind ok.

I was waiting for my turn in the hall outside the room, and I could hear the MRI sound, you know the sound that is more kecoh than a Tiesto event. Images of my last MRI came running back. Started to sweat and shiver all at the same time. Funny how I could hardly remember things I did last month but suddenly I can remember things from four years ago. Haih.

It was my turn and I wanted to cry. I prayed all the doa I knew throughout. At the end of it they informed me they needed to injected me with something and extend another 10 minutes. Felt like stabbing someone, seriously.

..but I made it, alive! Alhamdulillah.

Yes, exaggerating, but if you are me...hehe. I don't care about the result. I just want to get out of that freaking tunnel!

CNY

Woah long holiday. Excited?

My family - off for a holiday around europe. Without me. Went to klia to send them off last night and also to pass them a list of things to get for me. Hehe.

Raya balik kampung konon.

Have fun familia!

...to the rest of y'all..

Have a great long long holiday!!

Split Second

I was involved in a quite major accident on Monday.

How did it happen?

I was on the way to work, car lost control, thank god I managed to avoid banging any other cars. Phew. Everything happened within a split second, that I could not recall the exact thing (not that I want to recall it, if possible I just want to hit the delete button).

Well, I am very very thankful I am still alive. I got away with just bruises and scratches here and there. Alhamdulillah. Glad so many people stopped to help me that morning (even though they were all probably late for work already! We have helpful Malaysians, I am proud).

Anyway, Azrin came from work after I called him and we settled everything throughout the whole day. By the end of the day, I was so tired that I just wanted to go home and sleep (and hoped that it was all just a dream).

The next day I went to work like normal but after a while I felt this dizzy-ness and weird headache come and goes. Same thing the next day, but headache getting worst. So I did go to the doctor's at night. Three days after the accident, hehe.

*explaining everything to the doctor*
Doctor : After that kind of accident, you went to work the next day?!
Me : Err..yes. and the day after
Doctor : *looks at Azrin* Why did you let her go to work?

Haih.

Yes yes, my body needs the "rest" from the trauma and whatnot.

So here I am, at home with Bentencho, without a car.

Anybody wants to bring me a nice dessert, you are more than welcome.

Hee.

Resident Evil : The Final Chapter

For the past two weeks, he have been bugging and begging me to watch this movie the moment it comes out, using all sorts of ayat manis like "we watched all resident evil movies together" and "this will be the last one" non stop but I kept making up stories like "I've got something to do this week" and "You have to teman me watch Moana first".

Pfft. What lah him. We have not missed any of the Resident Evil movies, since zaman dating back then. Little did hubby know, I have actually purchased the tickets last week *pats back*. Presented this yesterday (on the show day)..

His reaction : Omg! My birthday ke?!

Haih. Can't a wife be nice and sweet once in a while (no, I don't know who that Chanel catalogue with a few folded pages on you table belongs to though, hehe)

...and any movies in Beanie cinema, sold! Why I have stopped watching movies gsc since they launched Beanie. Watching in Beanie is just super comfy.

How was the movie?

To be honest, I thought as their "final chapter", they would end it with a...bang! Ngeh, quite slow and storyline don't really make sense. Only the final 20 minutes was the most exciting and..touching.

Azrin really liked it though.

If you have been following the movies/game whatnot, you should watch. If not, don't bother.

Nine

It was me and Azrin's 9th anniversary on Thursday!

Nope, did not have anything big planned, because one, finances. Two, I was so sick for the past week, I couldn't even wear makeup and look pretty for my husband on our anniversary. Sad.

I did beg Azrin for the past few months to go for a short holiday but he would just hand me back the receipts of renovations on our new house. Haih. Fine, we will go holiday for my birthday, ok baby?

*dances*

Anyyyywayyy...woah nine years!

Thank you for supporting me in every single thing. That is saying yes to all sorts of weird shannanigs for nine years, and still not getting bored of it. To many many more crazy things in our list, ya?

Speechless. Don't know what to say. Super thankful.

Thanks, B!

Review : Dangal

A few of my colleagues have been talking about this movie and I felt almost left out not knowing about it so I dragged Azrin for a movie date night, even if he is not a big fan of that kind of movies (maybe also because I have bought the tickets and he had no choice, hehe).

Dangal. Aamir Khan (older, more macho). Nuff said.

Many many good values in the movie, I must say. Family, determination to name a few. A father who was a wrestler, really wanted a baby boy just so he could train that boy to grow up to be a wrestler just like him until his wife popped out a girl every time. Four girls, no boy. Even after he trying/following all sorts of "pantang".

So what to do when you have that semangat do something about your country wrestling industry, but you have four girls which in their culture should be staying in the kitchen and cook?

Watch and find out!

Azrin and I learned that we should always listen to our Daddy, no matter what, in whatever issue because they will always just think of the best for us.

.....but my Daddy said drink root beer to kill off the sweetness if the cupcake is too sweet.... 

Hmm.

Do bring lots of tissue, guys. I mean, I could see a few drops down Azrin's cheek. Maybe he cried because he don't have Aamir Khan's body. Its ok, 2017 resolution, no?

Hehe.

Painter

The place that Azrin and I purchased is completed and we just took the keys and what not a few weeks back. So we have about four months to get it ready for us to move in before the renting contract on our current place ends. Four months. Daddy said "lama lagi tu.."

I don't think so.

First, we need to paint the place, no? We discussed on should we pay someone to do it or what. Genius me said we can do it by ourselves. Ourselves meaning just Azrin and I. Haih. Well, the price to hire someone to paint a small unit..is crazy! I mean, we still have other constructions to do, buying all sorts of things, we have to start paying full monthly installments AND our current rental *looks at bank account balance and cry*.

Cheers to a meggi cup a day for the next four months, ok sayang?

Anywho, about this painting shannanigs, we decided to give it a try (not that we have a choice), so we bought the paint, rollers, brushes and stole whatever we can from Daddy's house and were excited on our Project Painting.

Day 1

A whole freaking day, and we finished one wall.

That's right. Not a room, just a wall.

We had that was-this-the-right-decision look to each other and maybe white looks "classier", no?

Haih.

We did continue for the next two days, which means we covered three walls! *bows*

Azrin's arm and shoulder are in pain, and my back...omg!

How now brown cow?

Big brother

Gotta find more time to blog, seriously.

Also need a holiday but I've been telling myself that about six months ago and it is already coming to 2017. Too many things going on..haih.

So last week was Abang and Shafiqah's birthday and we had a small dinner (as usual) but it was so kecoh omg, since we were the only ones in the restaurant. New place, super nice food, super cheap too!

See, the cafe even post about us on their instagram!

Kecoh Coolest, ok! *puts on sunnies*

Well, Abang told the whole world it was his 26th birthday (woah I have an adik now!) *rolls eyes*, even with his almost-full-white-hair and all sorts of sickness sending its invitation to him day by day (gahaha) but congratulations that you sedar diri on that and doing all sorts of healthy stuff until you lose that much weight in such a short time. I will try to keep up to that yea *munch on nasi lemak*.

Happy 36th, George Clooney wannabe!

Oh and Merry Christmas everyone!!
