Treated my two cousins, Nadia and Shafiqah for a weekend away as their birthday treat. Penang! I love Penang! I was so excited to show them all the delicious food in Penang. OH THE FOOD!
Ready?
Line Clear. Nadia's favourite nasi kandar.
Seafood place we all discovered together. So yummy.
Asam Laksa.
Mee Goreng Bangkok Lane. I was jumping up and down for this. They have freaking potatoes in the Mee Goreng *drool*
This naan place. Delicious garlic cheese naan, man!
Rojak Buah
Kuih Serabai. We travelled around Penang looking for this. Im not a big fan of it.
.......and last but not least......
Nasi Kandar Beratur. MY favourite. Telur sotong hamaigad! *died*
Coulda sworn the car was heavier when heading back to KL. Hee. Anybody heading to Penang, please invite me. I'll bring you around!
In the hospital right now because I had a seizure (for the second time in a month in Penang). Came back to KL, head to DSH, went through ECG, EEG and MRI scan. I'm claustophobic, so I cried in that MRI thing. Scary!!
With all the scanning, my brain is ay-ok, alhamdulillah. However, we still dont know the cause of both seizures, but I was told that the oxygen level to my brain was a little bit below average so that might be the cause of seizures.
Also, I was diagnosed with Insomnia and Sleep Apnea through a Sleep Test which was probably caused by the enlargement of my tonsils which prevent oxygen from entering my body when asleep.
All of the above may be connected to each other, so with 3 doctors, they're trying to fix it one by one. Starting with removal of tonsils. Before the surgery, they had to spend half an hour looking for my vein. They poked 4 different places wrongly, lastly all drips goes through my foot. Haha. Never seen that.
Now I cant talk, and have been eating mashed potatoes. Hopefully I get to discharged today. Going crazy sitting here for 4 days urgh! Ok, imma go beg the doctors to let me go home. Bye.
It was Abah's birthday last week and we had a little dinner party.
Shhhhhhh, if abah ask you to guess how old he is, say he's 49! When he's actually 59. He'll probably buy u a drink. Hehe.
Time to open presents!
Happy Birthday Abah. I love u so much. Thank you for everything! Muah!!
Lately my neck have been hurting. I'm assuming its due to my thick and heavy hair. Seriously, you have no idea how thick my hair is. While everybody else was looking for that crazy expensive shampoo to thicken hair, I was eating maggi as a kid hoping it'll make me lose some of this hair.
Everytime I go to a saloon to blow my hair, they would have 4 people doing it at one time and they would take them hours.
Crazy.
This time, my hair was getting a little out of control so it was time to chop it off..
Azrin : Baby, your hair is starting to look like a sotong. A blonde sotong.
-_________-"
Gee, thanks.
Ta-daaa! No more sotong! Feels so light *slowly shakes head left and right*
I have a sickness. Everytime I get someone a present, I NEED that person to rip it open on the spot because I love to see the reaction on people's faces when they get something they like. Sick.
My dad's birthday is tomorrow. I bought his birthday present 3 days ago and yes, I got home and gave it to him straight. Didnt even wrap it. On the way home, I was just thinking of any excuse I can get for him to try it on straight away.
"Abah, you've got to try it on. Errrr, because if you can't fit it, I can go change it"
"Adik, the price tag is on"
"That's on purpose. If you're nice you would pay me back haha"
So he tried it on, fits perfectly so I took it back, wrap it and will give it to him on his birthday. Mission accomplished.
I can cross out 'gift wrapper' off my career options, huh? Haha.
In my defense, the tape wouldnt stick to the damn paper. Pfft.
Sarah randomly invited me to teman her sleep in Marriot, Bukit Bintang last week (actually it was suppose to be her 'alone time', I invited my self. and Sofia). Realised we were old because we checked in at 11pm and were already sleepy.
I tell you, if it was 5 years ago..........oh dear.
Sofia: Lets dress up and go out!
Me: Dude, I only brought t-shirt and baju tidur.
Sarah: I want to sleep.
Me: Oh! Lets go for those manicure/pedicure/reflexology thing downstairs.
Sofia: Those places where they have catalogues of girls???
Me: Hoi!! Not those la!
Sarah: Sleepy
Of course, at last we all stayed in.
Wanted to order room service...
Sofia: Errrr guys....
Me: Pricey?
Sarah: No charging to the room. Pay yourself.
Me: I have 10 bucks. Whats cheap?
Sofia: Sandwich. 30 bucks.
Aaaaaaaah McDonalds.
It was fun, just talking all night. Since I started working, I hardly see them both and dont know whats going on with their life so to have that kinda night was pretty good. Although Sarah went to sleep at midnight and it was just Sofia and talking till 4am.
Note to self: Next time have at least some cash with you when you check in hotels (in my defense, it was a last minute thing)
Me: Eh!! Where's the peanuts?!
Sarah: I took it. Free what!
Sofia: Your head! Its 20 bucks.
Uh-oh.
Not too late to wish y'all Selamat Hari Raya, right? My raya this year was just ok (somehow quite a number of people said so too). I guess we enjoy raya most when we were little, huh? This year was also no fun for me because I had to start giving duit raya to people (although Dad did give me duit raya more than what I gave people. Fail.)
Usually, I celebrate raya in Johor but this is the 2nd year I raya here, partly because I want to visit Mama's kubur.
It was quite a meriah raya for me, relatives coming by, us going to their places, the usual.
I present to u...my familia.
Topic for this year: When's the wedding date.
Me: Next month.
HUH?!?!
Haha. Well, I was just giving what they wanted to hear.
Selamat Hari Raya guys! Eat till yo button pops!
For my last 23 Rayas, I spent the night before raya snoring away, right up till the morning of raya. Even then, I wake up with all food prepared and served. Spoilt princess, I was. Hee.
This year, first raya without mama (hope you're having an amazeballs raya up there, Ma!) so being the 'anak dara' in the house..... nope, no more sleeping in. Dad made Abang, Elisa and I go to war in the kitchen, preparing raya food.
HOW DID MAMA PREPARE EVERYTHING WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE?!
Magic I tell you.
Thank god I had a teeny bit of Mom's OCD in me (just a bit, I dont enjoy cleaning) so Elisa and I cleaned up (the other one that can diharap).
Ta-daaaa!!!
All ready for Raya (slept at 3am, btw). Selamat Hari Raya guys! Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Have a lovely Raya :)
It was past midnight, Azrin and I were on our way to pick Sarah up to go for drinks and at this traffic light in TTDI, this car in front of us was not moving even when the light have gone from red to green to red to green again. Azrin drove around, cursing and honking.
Me: OMG BABY! HE'S HEAD IS ON THE STEERING!!!!!
Turned back to see if he's ok. I mean, he might be dead, right? And its freaking dangerous, hello! I called the ambulance and what not (seriously they never pick up when calling the emergency number -____-'). Got to his car, turns out this dude was pissed drunk and passed out. While driving. Haiyo.
Yes, fine I dont drink and some people would just go screw it, it's his fault for drinking and driving but Azrin and I are the kind of people that would help anyone, anytime. You never know when its your time that you might need help from others, right? A couple of policemen came after and Azrin and I helped them wake this dude up. He did wake up after 20 mins. Smells of alcohol, I almost puked. Eek.
One thing I realised, its so hard for Malaysian to help strangers. People who passed by did not only honked and got all pissed off at the car, they even cursed me! Like its my fault! Jeez. So damn annoying.
Friday was a weird day for me. Went to work as usual in the morning, and afternoon came, everything turned into a big blur. Until now.
Around 3-ish, I woke up from my office table, confused.
"What the hell is going on...?"
Suddenly my officemates were all around me, ambulance was outside and worse part was, I could not recognize anyone. I checked my phone, got a few texts from Azrin, Shafiqah but I was just staring at the messages not knowing who they were.
Got into the ambulance, trying to process what was going on, realised I blacked out in the office. Later on, I found out I even had seizure before passing out Creepy!
Went to the hospital, ran some tests, apparently my kidneys were infected and my heart was beating a bit too fast for no bloody reason. Probably because I had a stupid doctor.
Me: Both my kidneys infected?
Doctor: Kidneys lah!! You know, kidneys!
Me: Yes, both, IS IT?
Doctor: Eh, kidneys lah. What u mean both?!?!
I was already in such a confused state, this woman got me thinking human have one kidney. We have two, right? RIGHT?
Bottom line, I dont know what was the cause of me passing out, because if I had one more conversation with that lady, I would probably have a heart attack. Now both my thighs hurt, I dont know why either.
Should go to a proper hospital and get it checked, right? I will. Soon. Hee. Thanks everyone who called asking if I was ok. Hugs!
Last minute plan to Melaka on Saturday, bringing Azrin's employees because they've never been to Melaka and one of them really wants to see what a 'beca' looks like.
I can say that I'm quite familiar with Melaka, with the occasional sesat-ing haha. So Azrin and I showed them around and they saw that River Cruise thing and wanted to go on it.
Uh........
Ive seen it many times and I swore I would never go on it, because its so pointless and smells bad.
Yes. I went on that thing.
Actually it was not bad at all. There was all these paintings on the back of the buildings which potrays Hang Tuah's story so as you go on, it tells a story. It was beautiful (sorry, I didnt bring my camera, so no pictures). It was really nice, with people waving and saying hello to you while you cruise by and honestly it smelled bad only in one area.
Lesson learnt. Don't judge.
