persuade me, please

One thing i like most about the syllabus for semester 2 is the 'promotional season'.It is when the students are asked to act like a real promoter, to come out with the perfect product and its perfect way of advertising.True, the regular P&P session could be dragging and simply boring (which i know ..err..hope..that never happens to any of my classes), but it sure brings different approach and view when it comes to the students promoting their stuffs.

It's whole loads of fun i tell ya!!

this group comes with the idea of promoting a bridal gallery.But to have the bride and grooms decked out in all black attires?very occult, don't ya think so?

and this particular group apparently knows what makes miss lyn extra happy, by providing her the whole mug of a hot 'bescafe' .

who says being a teacher brings no fun?

and here to the jolly good feeling:)

to the santa who steals the heart..

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You (You) baby

(all i want for christmas-mariah carey)


merry christmas pbear, may your wishes all be granted :)

look what we found on the way to the market.A girl engaging in her Halloween spirit by wearing all black and err..devil's horns.And this pretty nuthing compared to what you could see in the city (which i dare not take anymore stranger's pictures or i look like a total schmuck!).But watching them wearing all those silly attires were like witnessing a parade show or something.TOTALLY amusing:)-RED HILL


the best way to spend your second day, what else but to SPEND!how can you not go crazy, seeing array of shops, with the word SALE screaming on the windowpane?-DIRECT FACTORY OUTLET

A whole week for ultimate gateway and money well spent:)

market

Those who know me well, know better enough of my penchant for night market and the usual, common, wet market. Ask me the day, and i'll give you the exact place where the night market is located, and it was rare to see me not going to night market, hunting for foodie:). And for those notified night market, when you frequented the places to0 often, finding good food that is well known to tastebud comes really easy, and it's not new when you make friends with those people mending the stalls.
Same goes to the market, wet market or whichever names you call it.My obsession on the market started way back when i was just a little toddler, probably in the age of 5 and i got my tok wan (my grandad) to thank for.Usually, two of us will ride on his bike, me on the back or sometimes on the basket upfront, basking the morning, chilly air, and hitting the market to find what my grandma ordered us to.And I saluted my tokwan for his impeccable knowledge of raw materials needed to whip out dishes.Tok ma would just say that she is going to prepare kari ayam, and that goes without her having to notify my granddad of what supposed to be bought.My atok just knew it by heart:).Going to market with him was like going to funfair for kids (hence, being a kid myself i could count how many funfairs did i go, in comparison of going to morning market!and the truth is, i do not really favor funfairs up till now.How bizarre!).Interesting enough, my dad follows his father's way around the market, even though my father indeed prefer pasar tani since it is just a stone throw from my house.
Now since i am going to the land of koala..again (ehem!), the first thing i told my sister is to find us a good market, be it a morning or night market, since i want to experience going to the market apart from my own homeland.To be mesmerized by the arrays of exquisite food that only being sold in Mercato or Cold Storage perhaps, and to sit down on the sidewalk cafe, nibbling on the fresh bread watching people do their mornin routine (oh oh, this is not the market we are talkin about, :)I so cant wait, and aten gives me words that the first thing we gonna go upon landing is to buy food stuffs in the Saturday morning market.Yippey!!

Can't believe going to the market can be this exhilarating.

ps:i got my wish and those pictures are the proof i went to the market.YEYYY

you are what you eat, no?

Lovers:)

Snotty brat-Dello

Years ago, the old folks at home couldn't even be considered as animal lovers, and obviously not on the idea to keep pets at home.Mama and abah, as we fondly knew, were not really keen on cats and everything furry.Take abah for example.We had these rascals who played on the rooftop and the next day we knew, some parts of the roof came falling down, which obviously berated my abah so much.And not to count the few foul incidents that cats were found dead on the rooftop, which again, pissed off abah so much.When we were just little toddlers, we got used to see abah chasing the cats with brooms, hangers and everything else that he could place his hands on.And mama, i was pretty clear she's not cruel on treating the little rascal, but she always against on the idea of keeping any pets at home (the only pets i remembered having was this tank of fishes, and it wasn't even ours.It was dad and it was BORING as ever, to have fish as pets thats it).

But now, if you ever come to my house visiting, you would definitely see these three images of my parents' beloved kids, sprawling on the floor on a hot, sunny day, or probably snoozing peacefully next to my dad, or playing with papers next to mama's laptop station.
Yes, my parents are now the parents for 3 adorable, naughty cats.That one parents, who we never imagine would be keeping pets.Ever!How funny could that be?

Jade, Mok and Dell (evidently my mom's choice of her blog's name), are not ,merely the cats in my parents' eyes, but more like an additional family members who keep the company of my parents. Abah and mama are so fond of Jade, the mother of all, which was found laying (hiding, maybe) inside the Kembara's tyre, one night when abah came home from the mosque (Jade, masjid..got the deal?).She isn't really a pretty mom, infact she lost one of her sight and is very very unfluffy for a cat.But she sure does bring joy and affection to both of my folks.Dell is the only son of Jade, a snotty brat more like it and Mok, is the father.Dear mok, who is my sister's beloved pet.

So now, suffice to say that we are the family who love cats very very much.Be it my parents, my sisters and even my brother.And im thankful that it runs in the gene pretty well.And as for me,to meet and have someone who loves cats as much as i do is a total bless too:).Love him for that definitely:)

Oh, the other day, i got a chance to watch this movie called Hachi:A dog's Tale.Damn i turned out to be a Niagara Falls from that!It is a really an emotional movie about how a dog could be so loyal to his master (Richard Gere is so yummy considering his ageing!), that even after his master's death, he still waited dutifully in front of the train station for his master because that is the routine they both had , and he waited there for the deceased master for 9 long years! Based on the true Japanese story, the statue of Hachi, the dog (that is even his real name offscreen), was built and displayed at Shibuya train station in Japan, a place that he used to wait for his master.The dog is from Akita's breed and he is soooooooo adorable.I know we can't keep dog for the religious matter, but there is no saying that we can't love dog, can we?And i love animals, dog included, especially the adorable type like Hachi.

Okaylah, nak pi kacau adik dello tido.hahaha:P

shut it up, will u

i believe...if you do not know how to RESPECT people's feeling, just zip it and say nothing else.Thank you very mucho!

this is so not happenin

Coming tomorrow, im slightly changing my direction on my profession.I am going to be a promoter, an unpaid salesperson, an ambassador and even a sweet talker.Not just a regular lecturer on board.Why all of sudden you ask?Well..that's because..

I am going to Terengganu for a roadshow to promote the matriculation system and my college specifically!

Me?Of all people?What would be the best thing could i talk about my matriculation? Don't get me wrong.I love working here.I love the system.But to talk about it professionally to a group of another professional educators, now that's tricky.You need to know everything about the system on the back of your brain, and handling Q&A session should come naturally, easy and smoothsailing for a person who serve the system for nearly 8 years.SO NOT~.I might be a talker, i talk lots and i think i work best with people, but to have it done in front of hundred of educators in different state, now that's another story. Believe me if i say that it took me the whole days to memorize the details.I just hope i won't make myself to look like a fool giving out false info when being asked soon.

Now, excuse me, i need a lot of breather, and materials to read.

This=love

This is why we do it
This is worth the pain
This is why we bow down and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, is this love.

(The Script , this love, 2010)

no holiday yet?

Yey, it's Friday! which means i basically have 2 more weeks to survive before the long holiday comes, which also means I'm going to board the plane and have my feet planted

here..:).

And crazy or not, this is going to be the second visit in a year!Okay, apart from the fact that my dearest little sister is there, I (well, here should be 'we' since zarina is la loca about the place too), am definitely fall in love.With a place.And i rather not spend my money so much on some coveted stuffs..just so i could buy the ticket and hop on the plane, again!Tell you, it aint easy saving, and saving means putting aside your 'close to 1K' money from the monthly wage.Urghhhh..the pain of survival!
Call it a travelbug or simply finding reasons, wanting to have my annual gateaway, i do make sure that regardless how i spend my money, I would still have chances to travel. And travel here means abroad or simply those exquisite places in Malaysia. And there were years that i made sure i travel to both, inside and out, with different companies, best friend and best sister (to my other best sister, you are so going to join the travel company once you come back i swear!).
And I believe, when one put her heart into the passion of travelling, she care less bout spending money on something else extravaganza.Planning to travel itself is an act of passion and of course ,patience.Money doesn't grow on tree, you know. You can't have 10k just in 2 months or so, or snapping fingers and blindly booking your ticket.And since being a teacher doesn't really promise you HUGE WAGE AND BONUSES (damn you, Bajet2010!), you resort to do extra job and again, save like crazy!. I really don't mind not being able to get my hands on that new carriage (ahemm...SX4 .Not!), as long as i get to do my definite hobby, each year:).And just so you know, i've already got things planned coming 2011 (or got places planned out for me for the matter..haha..Singapore, Korea and some place i really want to bring my heart to..*glee*).Err..why it is freaking difficult to get a visa to USA by the way??
So, how to save up in a very short while? Here's my deal:)

a)cut the card (or cut some of the means to use the card. I really am limiting myself to only using it for gases.And gases alone.
b)stop going to KL for a while (this is difficult as i can't breathe not going to KL.Spending money in KL is the best dessert one can have, seriously.)
c)Stop buying food you never intend to eat, and buying it just because you've been tricked by the promotions and the lust.Oh, which reminds me to finish eating the half-eaten peaches in the fridge since it costs exorbitantly!)
d)Stop luring yourself to the mask and facials thingamajigs.The only thing you ended up using is the cleaning foam anyway.Try cucumber and tomato for the facial instead , it refreshes and tighten the pores and it is more economical:)
e)...but do cucumber and tomato be the legitimate reasons i got number of pimples now???
f) Make your own tumbler of nescafe and bring it to the office.Save the money, and it's way creamier and 'kaw-kaw' than those made in the cafe (kes cafe kedekut susu.Mahal, tapi cair.Apa kes??)
g)Go teach the nearby university and hope they pay the claim in time.Even so it means you have less activities on the social calendar.
h)Cross the fingers and hope the bajet turns its table.Or maybe when they come to the senses that government servants do need a bonus.We do, seriously!!
i)Be nice to your mom.Afterall, she is probably the best banker in the whole world.HAHAHAHHAHA.

Jangan marah aaa..:)



Like gin or plum pudding, travel is filling —Peg Bracken

grumpy old you

I once believe that working with people requires you to be and have extra warmth, hospitality, attentive and of couse, abundant of patience!It isnt so bad if you are blessed with the nicest smile and sunshiny personality (grumpy people are so not welcome to mane the front desk please). You are dealing with people, and traits of people are diverse, could be pleasant and vice versa and being a frontdesk people, you can't complain when things aren't that great.It's your job, and your job is to serve people and assist them patiently, no matter how weary it makes you.And cursing on your customer just because she it hard and difficult definitely is not in your card!

I had my own worst experience last night, that left me dumbfounded and speechless to say the least.

It was about 9ish something at night when i finally made the shuttle van booking through AAExpress (the shuttle bus will deport us from GC Airport to Brisbane).When the booking finally made, it was the the 'time' that caught my attention (it said 1030 for both departure and arrival.Por que??i REMEMBERED checking every details thoroughly, so when the time slot recorded otherwise, i was all panicky. After all, the payment had been made .138 AUD actually for the transfer.) So panicking i was, i quickly punched the AAexpress malaysia headquater, simply forgetting it was close to 10am.

me:emm..hello, is this AAExpress?

grumpyolwomen:yeah

me:I would like to know whether ..

grumpyolwomen:Alooooo..u know or not what time is it in Australia???Its already late you knoww..latee..

me:uhh..uhhh...I (stammering)

grumpyolwomen:What is so important???Do you know what time is it there???aiiiiiyaaaaaa

me:uhh ..ohh..

grumpyolwomen:It's late you knowwwwww (all of sudden she reminded me of Dr ling's wife.Don't ask why.hahah)

me:uhh..is this Australian number im calling? (stupid question, of course i know it's MALAYSIAN number.But i was so caught up with her endless responses)

grumpyolwomen:Aiyaaa..nooo..but it's late in Australiaaaaaa.

me:... ...... ...

tuutttt..tutttt..tuttttt (okay i was run out of prepaid credit.Saved by the bell!)

Why did she have to be so edgy?That i called late at night?That she probably be ready going home but has to cater to my question first?

Silly, stupid receptionist.

10 rules to the golden bestfriendship

1) You take her as a sister, not a friend, because u might lose a friend in the end, but u can't lose a sister
2) You love her every chunks and every bits, even when she might have started to loathe some of hers, exactly the same thing that you probably do, in the end, both of you are going to love the chunkiest and the ugliest part of your other half.

3) You don't succumb to the nasty talk about your bestfriend, instead you summon up a courage and stood up for your bestfriend and to say "hey you just jealous I have her as my bestfriend and that resort you to talk bitchy about her" (or do this as mantra to ward out evil gossips bout her)
4)Which also brings to the fact that you stood up behind, beside and with her when nobody else seems to get her or agree with her because as bestfriend you read each other perfectly well , when no one else could.

5) Bestfriend understands what the other bestfriend loves doing, and accompany and enjoy being with the company and the things she loves to do. Let say if she loves Korean, you would give yourself a chance to dig what excites her. And even if you don't share the same excitement, you can still enjoy listening to her and discover her favourite things.
6) Bestfriend does not criticize other best friend for the sake of seeing her wither in humiliation. We criticize because we want her to look the best and obviously we do know what's best for her, don't we, best friend?

7) And when she criticizes you, you take that as a sisterly advise and don't swear on her just because she said things that are hurtful, because when the things hurt, it bound to have fact in it,and only best friend would say things that factually true and not afraid to hurt you 'coz she knows she's helping you.
8) Best friend would let her shoulder to be a place for the other best friend to cry on. Regardless how silly the matter is.

9) And when fate brings you apart, you still know that what you have with her is a golden gift, something you preciously have without acknowledging any compensation or returned favor.
10) That you both know you'll do everything to keep the friendship the way it is, come what may

and to my best of friend, makcik wok, we stood up for each other for what it worth, and you deserve all the happiness in the world for your birthday and for me to have that itsy bitsy jealousy not bein able to be there, oh well that just me.
Happy everdearest birthday to zarina zainal, and let's celebrate your birthday in the foreign land!Love you loads, muchacha!~

of pictures and a scroll

what's with the serious look, mista mizt?

Being in one huge event like a convocation day and witnessing graduates receiving the scrolls have somehow bring a surge of emotion in me.Proud, and a delicate feeling of being emotional.I guess after nearly 8 years graduated with the degree i've c0veted so much, it sure bring me down the memory lane.I was in PICC last wednesday, got to ditch work because i so wanted to see my brother in action on his graduation day .Attending the day without the invitation ticket is a sure way to be placed outside the hall, but i guess magic worked best when you really wanted something so bad (it's none the magic, it's the pitied look of the usher seeing me begging her to let me in.ahhaha..).
So seated there, watching my only brother waited in lines, striding to receive his scroll, i know i am proud.Proud of him, proud of me, i don't know.It is just the feeling..of being proud and the means of fullfilment. Proud that he has gotten his academic degree, and proud i was there on the stage (albeit not as grand as the one in PICC.heh) 8 years ago.
Looking back on my own memory lane, I realized that i didn't take much pictures with my friends on that very day because i was so busy mingling with my own family members!It was a blazing hot day, and by the time i was done with the family potraiture, i was so tired to look around for my friends.Believe me , if there is one thing i could mend about my graduation day, that would be the picture taking processes!I don't even have a studio potrait and i remembered that i wanted so badly but couldn't really afford it since i just started workin (the work stint came first before the graduation. How cool was that?), and i hate asking from my parents about it too.And i remembered that on that day i did say this out loud to my parents that i want to have my convocation ONE MORE TIME, and this time, it will be perfect:)


Which give me a reason to go checking things out come this Oct 10th (finger crossed!)

degree of excellency:)

Yo brotherbear, you nailed it!Happy graduation!!!!Now go hunting for job, yeh and buy me nice huge huge expensive dinner!

CONGRATSSSSSSS...:)

Is your luck in a pot?or empty stomach indeed?

One of the most well known fact of being in English Unit (apart of being the noisiest, I mean), is that we throw good party.A good potluck party indeed.This is the time when everybody becomes creative and pull up the sleeves and start cooking for life.Sometimes, we just threw potluck party just for the sake of having one (or probably one decided initially to whip nasi goreng and all of sudden people start throwing idea want they want to bring to complete the nasi goreng dish).But there are times potluck being held because we have themes and specific reasons, like the one we are going to have tomorrow (gleeeeee.....)

We are throwing Hari Raya Potluck party y'all!

Just imagine those arrays of good food, ketupat, rendang and nasi impit.Yummy:).I am not a good cook, but i've planned to concoct something special for the day (of course it's a collaboration of work.hehe.At least those people won't be expecting the same lontong or spagetti!). Will let you know once i got the process on the way.hehe..

Okaylah ye, i got some 'fishy' shopping to be done

hola octoba

Can't believe time flies fast and it has been the 10th month of 2010.The tenth!Seemed like it was days ago that i saw party goers ushering the new year, and balloons and confettis were tossed up in the air.Sheesh, October huh.Thank God i never make any resolution for i know i won't be able to keep up any anyway (I can't even keep up with the passing months, for God sake:).Well well what do we have in the store for October anyway?

a) my kids are going to sit for their MUET, with they are going to confront the most effortful paper (yes, the speaking skill).Just really really hope that their practise won't go to waste because i have done everything i could for them to battle the day.

b)my only brother is going to be graduated in mere 3 days

c)I am going to have my week long break coming the end of October..

c)which is going to bring me and best buddy to the land of kanggawoosong, twice!

d)and i am doing the best to nourish the affection :). To have, to hold, to last.

Well folks, it sure does sound like a busy month for all, yeah? And yes, we have the exact 3 months before we could blow/throw the confetti in the air, again!

one helluva weekend

I had one helluva weekend.And this probably was the one helluva best weekend..so far:).Being the busy lady these days, i have practically no chance to do things i love to do, like meeting up sister and buddies up in kl, or go shopping (so not helping that people know me as someone thrifty, but hey, good shopping is still going to be a good shopping:). Well, since i am going away for my yearly escapade and haven't gotten myself any new clothes for that matter, and since sis asked me out to help organizing her open house (i was the chef.She trusted me cooking.ha..ha..), plus i do miss meeting my best bud and my housemates too (gee..so many excuses of going to kl, yeh?), then off i went:).

Wouldn't it be perfect if i just let the pictures do the talking?

Went over to Dutdut's house after the shopping spree. Look what she did for us..the pizza!!And mind you, we were attacking the food less in 5 mins after stepping foot in her house. We were sooo...ravenous.Hey, shopping does make you hungry even faster.

Dutdut.And no, you are not giant.haha. Giant cant make me that scrumptious pizza!And sorry for letting you know we were going over to your house in the very last minutes. And sorry if we look so unpresentable (what's with the oily faces and sweaty sweat.urghh!)

My other housemate. Been living with him and had lived together for nearly 3 years.This boy sure going to call me kolim for the long way to come.And you are such an entertainer!i MISS YOU lil boy


Food!Glorious food!!!!!

And she even baked us muffin!Right on the spot.You sure are going all the way with your breadmaker eh dutdut?

Sunday was meeting the bestfriend day, for a mere 30 mins!And we (I, more like it), were in rush that we just met and chatted for a while at the IKEA parking lot!And it was present giving day. Dont worry, i love that sexy thing so much im going to blog about it next!


Oh boy how he has grown.And grow fast.I am so having the temptation to give him that bearly hug which definitely being defied.Haha.And he was telling me stories and all eventho he opposed to be hugged.You know your yiyin is one pursuer, no?


Hey no matter what u feel about life and marriage thingy, you know i am supporting you to the core, right?Exactly the same thing that u would do for me:)

so there, my weekend.What's missing was the picture from ina's open house (we were so in the nick of time preparing the food that i had no time to take pictures of anything from the open house and going to ask for sis to upload it via FB so i could steal it and put it here.ehhehe..oh yeah, i had the post party pic, but it was taken with that sexy lil thing and i still have not mastered the operation of that sexy lil thing.Be blogged about it soon.

Hope your weekend is as fabulous as yours truly:)

"ma....maaaaaa!!!"
i called her name, like i used to when i woke up and not ready to jump from the bed.
And all i got is the silence, way too silent infact.
Look around and see the pile of clothes, the rummaged bags, the unmade bed.

Post 12 hours journey and here i am, back to reality.
The reality is that i already miss home.

And her.

going home..urgh!

sigh.sigh.sigh.
I know this dreaded day will come at last.
After those quality time at home, doing nothing except getting to my cats' nerves (believe me they never know the meaning of 'peaceful' once the kakak return home, especially dello.sorry for always interrupting your catnap.ahhaha), munching on the leftover cookies, surfing and skyping the net, and doing absolutely nothing (i've said that, havent i?), it's the call to work again.
Getting back to work, on Saturday.Cruel yeh?
Since i was down with flu and fever (and taking my own sweet time to see the doctor since i do not want the doctor to award me the mc right away), i got the day off today, and by all means, today im going to board the bus back to kuantan too, like it or not.uh oh..
Promise Martin (my swedish friend, who talk fluent Malay, but sort of funny in its way), that i would meet him somehow next week.Which 'somehow' , i am not sure when since he went for the island escapade with his family members and only coming back on Monday, and i work on Monday.Duh..just wish to meet him and say hy before he board the plan back to Sweden, if possible.
Okay better hit the shower before mom yelled out for that.haha.

the dodger game

Having met your relatives and friends on hari raya spelled fun (did i tell you hari raya is meant for story telling session and for us gossip mongers to swap stories?hhaha), but being bombarded with questions that i tried my best to dodge then is not so much fun.Mind you, i always have answers for everything trivial, but these 2 questions, which turned out to be the most popular queries, that i had no definite answers.
Not when the questions sound like..

a)awat cengkung sangat/hang diet ka?
b)la ni dok kawan dengan sapa/dah jupa sapa sapa ka?

If i were to be sarcastic cause im tired answering these, then my answers probably be..

a)saya tak diet, cuma saya cepat hadam dan aktif kumuh
b)tak sabar tunggu makan nasik percumakah anda?

But since it's raya, and im tired berkuntau in the kitchen for days (cewahhhh...), i could just simply award them the hugest grin and smile and cross my fingers that they took it as the positive answers from me.The truth is..

a)i am not exactly sure why am i shrinking.I ate crazy when i feel like it, i love my McD strawberry sundaes and i could gobble 3 to 4 pieces of Big Apple donuts.And i love everything creamy too.It just that, i am not that hungry all the time, and when i ate the rightful amount of potion, my stomach never wants to cooperate in a nicer way.Like for today, the only thing i ate was a bowl of laksa since my nose and my tastebuds are blocked.Believe me when i say i am not dieting, probably my indigestion system are at their happiest state than my digestion.And i am not makan hati.how can i makan hati when things are running the way i want it?:)

b)i kinda afraid to answer the second question because when i start on this, it normally ends up being shitty.lol!! i might or might not know someone.To call it interesting founding is more accurate than labelling it to something outrageous.And when i say friends, it's meant to be friends, and talking too much about it would just going to jinx it.It happened before and not going to make the history repeats itself.And i don't need people to matchmake me, because i am not good getting to know people or getting acquinted with people who being introduced to me.I valued it, it just i rather stay the way i am now, it makes me the happiest and why should i go and do something or please everybody around me, when it is not the thing i am looking for?right?
And when im sure this is what i am looking for and not afraid of it to jinx, then ill open up.Until then, just let me have my way cause i know when i am happy, doing the thing i am happy to do.:)

So, i hope it's going to be more creative questions to be asked than these 2 coming the next raya:).Happy raya everyone!

open house at no 7

2 different shirts. no raya getup.all in the same day.

After the endless ingestion on food and drinks (of many colors and flavour..mind you), from many open houses and moi truly, i catch flu and bit feverish on the fourth day of raya.Woke up this morning with the nose uncomfortably blocked, and the ulcers yet again on the lower part of my gum.Uh oh..i know i know i had the devil thought that i would perhaps catch some fever or something so i could skip..errr..work on friday, but i am not expecting my wish to be real!since i dont really favour meeting the doctor, i opt to just pop on activefast.
Anyway, our open house yesterday officially ended at close to 10pm, with the last batch of mee lovers came all the way from kuala lumpur and sg petani.It's like a yearly gathering for both sides of my parents.Abah's side were the first, minus acik since she indeed would be having her open house the same day.Mom's clan came in the evening, and stayed till late.Coaxing tok ton's to stay but she wants to go home to makteh's for the time being.Oh, we met, or i met the newlywed, siti and her hubby and since i didnt come home for her wedding, this would be the first time i met the hubby.
The worst part of the open house was that, i had to bid adieu to my baju raya and just had to be happy donning a tshirt and pants!Why you asked?Because i so don't want to ruin my baju raya, getting at war with piles of dirty dishes in the kitchen!And because of that, most of my raya picture taken from the rosli's and kakchon's open house, spelled unglamorous!I didn't even had the chance to run for shower when lia came visiting and had to use my best grin and hoping i won't smell of daging rebus next to her.hahaha.
All i could say, i always love throwing an open house coz it's the only chance, sometimes, to catch the stories you have missed throughout the years and be able to meet those dear people u haven't gotten the chance to visit, eventhough they only live less than 30 mins away from you, all in the name of misfit hectic work.So what would be the better reason to enjoy your open house, right?
And perhaps, i should throw one back in kuantan:)
