since work has been a little less hectic, had loads of errands to settle by today and tomorrow... firstly, we had to settle things at the immigration, i kid you not it's really hectic to apply for a maid, talk about how hard it is to get good help now days.
once that was done, rushed to citibank and back to bangsar! before lunch hour i was already tired... talk about being pampered! woohoo... settled what we needed to and then i got a call from me dad... college informed him that my cert has arrived! about freaking time it did!! yahoo... think will have to settle all that tomorrow.
then we decided to catch a movie in the eve, watch what else if its not the movie that received loads of mixed comments - indiana jones! i mean, its been one of those really great trilogy movies you know and we grew up with indy and his adventures! i was pretty excited... enjoyed the beginning and mid of the movie, but when it came towards the end of the show all i could do and say was that lucas and spielberg had dug their own holes to their own graves! seriously it was such a flop! so disappointing! this is just my honest-est opinion.
got home decided to treat my kitties to their new milk bottle and milk! but thanks to their mischeviousness, before i could feed my little chewy the milk she scared me off by having the smelly roach between her lips! i almost gave up on it all together!
talk about being surprised!!

toiling around...
these past few days hubs and myself we've been asking each other about baby names... at first we thought we had it all sorted out, until i blurted it out to my parents... mom's fine with it, dad wasn't in favor. he said it doesn't sound too melayu-ish... but i "tried" to be convincing about it but that totally went down the drain, i failed completely at my own attempt, he said it had no meaning (i guess he had a point) i said the second name does! hehe..
it still wasn't enough to convince him...
yesterday as i was browsing the internet we came across 2 new names! to go with her second name... as we were discussing hubs wanted to use all 3. haha... but i told him imagine all the pain you're going to put her through, filling out all the forms later on in life.
funny isn't it? i think its best to get opinions from the loved ones... as we were having breakkie this morning spoke to a couple of friends they said 2 names is better and they suggested what goes with the second name "aira"...
we're still discussing, confused and undecided!

loathe
have you ever felt so angry and disgusted with a certain individual?
well this is what i have been feeling these past few days, every time i hear stories about her i just get the chills right down to my spine!
please help me god, i just don't want to be so angry and upset all the time...
give me the strength to forgive and forget...
even though i have moved on i just feel the bitterness and disappointment! wish i could just let it go, maybe i could... maybe one fine day...
i just want to go back to the way things were, and be the happy go lucky person that i at least think that i am...
hope my little prayer is heard...

the giant leap
as we were watching the video this song was played... tercipta untukku by ungu. the lyrics that was uttered was extremely touching, although some of you might think otherwise.
it was extremely beautiful, and it totally complimented her fathers emotional speech for some of us, it was one of those rare moments that we hardly get...
she was called all sorts of names:
-beautiful bride
-crazy bride
-weird bride
you name it, but she's not a hypocrite - what you see is what you get! that's what we love about her and her thousand facial expressions...
i thought it was going to be easy for me, as i sat there listening and seeing the whole solemnization ceremony, it did not hit me yet! i was overwhelmed with happiness, finally there's a good person taking good care of my good friend, and i need not to worry anymore! but then... it hit me, she's venturing into her new adventures away from us all...
and then i felt it, everything was happening so fast, she's no longer a miss! she took a big leap and proved everyone wrong, for ever doubting her... but we didn't doubt you, not even for a split second.
life is not going to be the same without your presence here, especially for me... you shall be dearly missed 'loquita'!
we wish you well, and the best of luck on facing your journey now as a wife... and face all the challenges in life gracefully, you are your fathers daughter, make him proud!
love you babes - for the last time i shall adress you as - miss shakhira najuib!
"aku ingin engkau slalu
hadir dan temani aku
di setiap langkah
yang meyakiniku
kau tercipta untukku
sepanjang hidupku"

lil sweetness, turning one
we old farts went nuts looking for a year old 'eleni's' present today... wondering, figuring out what in the whole world would she want, and yes it is pretty difficult okay. even after you've identified the stuff or clothes that you would want to get for her then you'd have to decide what size, should it be fitting or you're thinking a year in advance? hmm... the dilemma, seriously.
we kept on walking and picking everything up, i was quite lucky i had told mom earlier to purchase some polo dresses for the mini-tots! so we kept it aside, thank god we were thinking of future and advance birthdays, but we're talking about leni here, so we just had to add more stuff to it, she got - a dress, shoes, and barney cd's compliments from uncle hadi, auntie shereen and uncle nash. but the one who really had an unfortunate event was farouk, he was pretty excited about getting her prezzies, and as he was writing a birthday card for her he'd left his handphone on the counter and walked off right after, oh goodness lord, you know these things don't last not even for 1 second it being on the counter.
so we went back to look for it but, wasn't surprise that the cashiers had not seen it or what-so-ever!
desa park city has limited place for guests to park, so we were told to park near its super market, and to our surprise we had someone picking us up from there! hehe... we got to the apartment in style! so so cute!
party was all planned out thoroughly, they really thought about her first party, everything was purely decorated by her mom. yes, hand made, everything right down to the party packs. they even had the jumping castle! imagine that, first birthday? cool huh? also i just found out today before they blew the candle, leni and her uncle was born on the same date, the same time, by the same gynae and nurses?! how weird is that?? and they're 33 years apart! and she's so attached to her uncle which i think is horribly ADORABLE!

eid adha
its funny that our country only celebrates eid adha for a day! other middle eastern countries would emphasize more on todays celebration like 3-4 days i think... and its more meriah on this day... but ours we emphasize more on eid mubarak. hmm... i wonder why?
anyway this year i wanted to do something different, yeah experienced it first hand, well not that i actually did the sembelih part... but i took the initiative this year to go down to malacca to witness the process of 'korban'. to be honest, since its raya and i should not be telling lies, ermm... i witnessed it from afar! hehe, i cannot bare the thought of being next to the chosen 'lembu' and hear its last gasp of breath! cannot la seriously. plus i do not want to feel guilty for looking at it in the eye... yes dramatic!
so what myself and amir did was greeted all the pakcik's that made it possible for us to have a sempurna korban, passed them the list and stood outside for a good half an hour and sat in the car while they slit the throat of the lembu...
hubs managed to witness the whole thing, yes its the second time and yes he should be proud of the fact that he doesn't faint or pretends to faint by looking at the gushing blood! well i think i'd be totally opposite of that, can't stand the sight of blood. period. not referring to the menstrual cycle ok.
anyway after they had gone through the whole process of de-skinning the a-mi-nal i decided to walk down and talked to all... bracing myself slowly but surely, so i can claim that i almost completed the whole process of being involved in the korban.
dropped by zul's place at ermm... can't really recall the name but i know its after lubok china... yeah okay its at the border of malacca and negeri sembilan... we had some lemang, nasi impit, rendang itik, kuah kacang, triffle, jelly, and nescafe! right after we headed straight to the surau to see the distribution done :) i was seriously pleasantly happy that we made the trip, it was fulfilling.
however, by the time we got back to kl i was just too tired to go anywhere and do anything... even missed hani's open house... sorry love will make it up to you!
hmm... to even think of the weekend is driving me nuts! we're going to be super busy with loads of activities! :( its gonna be one super busy weekend, wish me luck!
