If you've got nothing nice to say...

Don't say anything at all. I'm always a firm believer of if u have nothing nice to say to someone, why bother saying anything at all unless u intentionally want to hurt them. Then well, that's just mean.

Cause really, saying something mean with a smiling face is just worse. If you want to be an ass, just do it. Don't pretend to be nice about it cause I'm not buying your bull shit.

Some people really don't realize how much their words can hurt others. And more often than not, these people can never take criticism about themselves. I mean seriously, who the hell are you to judge others when you yourself is flawed. Take a good look at yourself before you decide to lecture someone. Cause hey, people can judge you too.

I'm having some serious pent up anger right now and I'm not sure when it might just explode and who is going to be the pitiful soul who'll receive it. Let's just hope I can hold it in for a little longer. But theres just so much fakeness I can take.

Raya 2011

Hari Raya, another festive season which revolves around food.

as always, we'll help my mom to cook for Raya and when i say help, i mostly stand around and help her stir. occasionally, i pretend i'm hosting a cooking show. don't mean to be full of myself, but i'm actually really entertaining. you should definitely try to catch my show one of these days.

we cook pretty much the same thing every year.

clockwise: rendang chicken, sambal goreng (a javanese beef dish) before and after, and urap (i spos to describe it... it's like roasted coconut with shrimp and chili and onions... erm yeah)

anyway, fast forward to pagi raya. me and aziemah were tasked to go to carrefour to get drinks and frozen curry puffs (back up in case we have guests).

which explains why we were still in our tshirt and jeans. i was wearing my big bang tshirt! *hearts

but then my mom was all "why don't u just wear your baju kurung to carrefour" and i thought, uhuh why not? saves the trouble of changing again later.

and voila, i was changed! but aziemah had brilliantly left her baju kurung at home. so, she could only change later.

as tradition, every year my parents would sit on the chair and we would "salam" them and receive duit raya :)

oh yeah, forgot to mention, all pictures are stolen from somebody else i.e. my sister, brother, etc.

after carrefour and aziemah got changed, we took more family pictures with those timer, many pictures shot.

take 1

take 2

take 3!

baby ezra looks simply bored lol.

nothing much happened for the rest of the day, with only a couple of random visitors visiting us. so, chilled in my room the rest of the day watching kpop videos. and i was inspired to be totally korean with my hairbow. also, made my cousin take pictures with me :)

le us in raya outfit (totally recycled from last year)

oh why is my cousin so cute *pinch pinch*

and then the hairbow madness began.

i even tried putting on fake lashes but failed miserable cause the glue simply wouldn't want to stick!

the worst that could happened was after i finished ridiculously dolling myself up, my mom called me down to help her out cause we had visitors. i was in such a rush, i only had time to remove my fake lashes and hair bow. still had my hair up in a really high bun :S

but yeah, that pretty much concludes first day of raya.

typical 2nd day is to go back Melaka and this time around, Aziemah followed us!

yeah, i'm totally pulling off the mak datin look!

our kampung in limbongan! roads there look different every year!

went to visit one of my cousin's and oh, their baby is so cute. she had an abundance of hair! and took a liking for Aziemah hehe. bites her!

our target at every house... cookies!

and oh, we found out that one of my uncle's house has a really super cool phone.

extremely old school! it still uses the pusing-pusing dial thing. i had a brilliant idea to call my handphone and i call back the number and aziemah picked up and we talked through it and it works!!! oh man, so cool. btw, you totally had to read that sentence in 1 breath and imagine me as if i'm telling you the story to really feel the excitement in it!

and that concludes day 1 and 2 of Raya.

next up, Raya open house!!!

August -insert word that rhymes with it-

ohaiyo and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

its still 2nd day of CNY but can't blog about that yet cause the order of things will just confuse me (and also my sister hasnt uploaded any pictures up nyehehehe)

btw, August! it was the month where puasa month began and hence, pictures will mostly revolve around food. and of course, baby ezra.

Syahrir's Bday @ Guarmandis

we went to guarmandis again to celebrate syahrir's bday but the food took too extremely long to come and after waiting an hour, the waiter finally came to tell us the burger was finished. sooo, it was the day we decided to boycott this restaurant and never go back.

oh hai, itz us! pls disregard the tired, oily faces.

Bowling @ Pyramid

because eilzen was MPV during the bowling inter-firm games, everybody in the sime team wanted to challenge her to bowling. unfortunately, she was stuck with 2 losers on her team. 1 being me lol. but it made us rediscovered how everybody really loved bowling! despite sucking at it, it's still really fun! we actually went bowling a couple more times after this.

eilzen in action!

Buka puasa @ Putrajaya International Convention Centre

it was the night that the DPM was also there. i already wore a nice top with jeans and still felt underdressed cause there were pretty much bling everywhere! there were also cameras everywhere!! was trying to get myself captured but alas, failed miserably. btw, have you ever met the DPM in person? yeah, me neither cause i actually don't really know how he looks like *awkward*

buka puasa @ Churascaria

last year's yearly team buka puasa was at churascaria. and we were the early birds! cause we had to make sure our reserved spot was still there.

and btw, this is how they serve their meat. on a stick. you pick what you want. and oh man, it is really noms if you're a meat lover.

and yummiest item is the pineapple as you can see them holding it up.

and oh, meet Adik (in pink). he was our intern last year and he was our daily entertainment. everyday, he would come up with the randomest things to say. and ah, he was also my twitterjacker. despite his occasional annoyingness, his presence is dearly missed. other 2 guys in the picture are my bosses :) and that's rae rae way at the back.

Korean BBQ @ Go Gung (yea, again!)

this time around was with Jean.

Cheryll dropped by a lil later for coffee

Townhall meeting @ 1sentral

yeah, while everyone was busy listening. we were.... busy listening too :)

and due to fasting month, we got dates as gifts! but conversations got pretty awkward.

friend: what did you get?

me: dates!

friend: with who?

-_____-"

Dinner @ Yuzu, Desserts @ Alexis

my favourite massive unagi set!

i forgot what the cake at the back is called but everyone loves it! except me. but anyhoos, everyone else loves it soo doesn't matter. i was pretty much gobbling down the chocolate cake. it was pretty good. i think it was with cream cheese or something. i dunno, i totally made that up.

but throughout dinner, we realised each of us knew how to fold paper hearts in different ways:

mel did the biggest, me the middle and cheryll the smallest. it's all about love <3

and it was one of those shy to take picture days. cause this is the only picture i have of a person.

we buka puasa'ed a few more times here and there but no piccies :(

anyway, let's fill this entry with baby ezra photos. not a baby fan? you can close the browser now kthanksbye.

baby so sessy when he sleeps, everything also kangkang.

this was back when he was still squishy. only a month old but already so aware of his surroundings.

i used to come home from work and just lie beside him and talk to him about my day, his day, kpop etc. he prolly doesn't understand a word i'm saying but he's always making all kinds of sounds by himself as if responding.

this was one of the days he just looked at me and kept baby talking. *checked fb* this was taken on 18 august, means he wasn't even a month old yet! aih, so cutee....

and it's weird how he manages to look different in every picture! this was like a day or 2 after my sis's confinement period whereby mommy and baby could come out and buka puasa with the world. but baby pretty much slept through all the noise. so amazing!

and thats all for tonight. nitey nite.

things i am missing.

i have lost a shit loads of things in 2012. not starting off very goood now.

so anyhoos, if you seen it, do return them :(

My zara sweater that i wear to work all the time. i have a horrid feeling i left it at some client's place!

Ok, i know my watch is in cheryll's house.

Abit awkward to write this here but i'm sure nobody reads this anyway. i cant find my black halter bra. it's prolly left at some hotel or something. aihhh...

lost my favourite pair of earring studs. it's the white sapphire ones and have another bad feeling i dropped it somewhere or the maid stole it T______T

and another pair of my favourite purple earrings only has 1 side. this one i most prolly left/drop it at the photoshoot studio.

aih, soo sad right now. i think i'm just gonna call it an early night and sulk on the bed.

since i'm on a roll right now.

ohaiyo the month of July! right now, i'm just speed blogging, like a boss!

these days, been 9gagging too much it seems like the way i think and speak has been affected by memes. i totally blame cheryll for taking my soul. i guess i'm also to blame for taking others.

soo, dear family and friends, forgive me for introducing you to 9gag :p

anyhoos, month of July! here goes.

Plan B @ Bangsar village

it was date night with Jean. even went for a massage for my dead toe. well, it wasn't dead dead but i just wore my shoes for too long and it just stayed for a couple of weeks. its fine now, no biggie.

my favourite pasta in plan B. soft shell crab with curry cream based pasta. oh noms, i crave it now.

Marmalade @ Bangsar Village

ellia left the firm :( and so, we threw her a farewell! and since, we were a bit busy and didn't manage to get her a farewell gift. i brought my polaroid camera and gave all 10 films to her as memories of us.

Bisou @ Bangsar Village

i think we had dinner somewhere else but ended up in bisou for coffee and cupcakes. nothing better than seeing these girls for a lil destressing outing. i can't remember what we talked about that day but i remember laughing so hard until i cried. it was good...

and voila! my favourite cupcake from bisou: red velvet.

Centrepoint @ Bandar Utama

a place with cool multilevel carpark

and humungous burgers!

Churascaria @ Damansara Jaya

best meat buffet i've been to. but ironically, one of the things i love most is the roast pineapple cause it's simply amazing!

ibu bapaku.

sepupuku.

Eilzen's bday

day 1 celebrated at lala chong

day 2, she got a cake. and oh hai, isya's pencil box.

day 2 night was at guarmandis @ citta mall. they took forever for the meals to arrive but they kept giving us free food and drinks. so, it was alright. although, we boycotted this place later on cause the wait just wasn't worth it anymore.

Client's place @ Ara Damansara

that's my slipper. but that wasn't my toe. i went back to HQ office that morning and later on, got a whatsapp from eilzen saying her toe got sliced by the glass door. it wasn't a pretty sight! see, i told you my client's place is jinxed!

all you need is me and eilzen to create this mess; 4 footwears, 2 bottles and a whole bunch of cables. it's no wonder nobody wanted to sit with us.

and of course, the highlight of July 2012. baby ezra was born! he was 2 weeks earlier than expected and it was a mad rush from there to move back to subang. more so before hari raya!

i remember my sister texting me to let me know she's having contractions but to not worry, might be false alarm. but i guess her contractions were getting more frequent and i was getting significantly exited by the minute! but my sister, the epitome of calmness, was having mcdonalds for dinner (last meal before her confinement period).

went to work the next day and couldn't concentrate one bit on what i was doing. we got the text at 12 something pm on 20 July 2012. baby ezra was born! looking very much like an old man with wrinkly fingers and toes. unfortunately, i couldn't get off work earlier soo i only saw him much later in the evening. prepare for a whole bunch of baby pictures.

oh hai baby! its me.

looking every bit like a grumpy old man lol

with the new mommy :)

what i don't get is. why would the hospital dress a baby boy in pink clothes. tsk tsk tsk.

baby ezra came home with us from the hospital. everytime he had to take a bath, he would scream as if someone was trying to drown him. and the moment u take him out and puts his clothes on, he instantly stops screaming. notty notty.

oh, in other news, we moved back to subang.

my new room! with a balcony and all.

and now, i even have my very own bathroom. *loves*

since the house wasn't fully completed, mommy and baby had to sleep in the living room on the couch. so kesian.

and thats all for July!
