Holy Theft

I don't even know how to begin this entry. Why do bad things happen to good people? My husband who tries so hard to be a devout servant of Allah, filial son, caring brother and loving husband has to be tested this way.

I don't understand why or how someone can commit such a thing in the house of Allah. The Raoul laptop travel bag which I bought for his as a birthday gift (my first gift to him as a wife) was stolen in the mosque. Along with his IBM Thinkpad laptop. Thank GOD his wallet and hp was in his pocket. I don't even dare to imagine what the bugger would have done with my hub's credit cards. Unless the bugger is a computer genius there is no way he can bypass the highly secured lock in the laptop. How to recover his work which is all saved there?? People like him don't have PC in the office. They are outside/travelling most of the time hence the need for mobility. This is going to look bad on him. He was just promoted and this has to happen.

Ini bukan kali pertama perkara begini berlaku. His bicycle was also stolen at the same place few weeks ago. The caretaker saw the culprit but he never suspected anything. He took the bag during the jemaah was doing Isya'. He wasn't there for the prayers obviously. Simply to prey on neglected items. Yes it is partly hub's fault for leaving the bag behind instead of putting it somewhere in his eyesight. But he was tired and the Qamat dah dilaungkan, so he quickly joined the jemaah. Kenapa ada manusia yang tergamak lakukan ini terhadap sesama insan Islam? Mencuri di dewan solat lagi. Di waktu fardhu Isya sedang di-imamkan. Bukankah ini bulan Rejab. Bulan yang mulia. This fella has no conscience at all. According to the caretaker the guy looks like he is in his twenties.

Tak terkata betapa hampanye hati aku. That expensive bag was my first gift to him after our wedding. But that's not the ultimate reason that saddens me. If this had happened to someone who could care less about others, I would say "memang sajak". But this happen to someone who tries so hard to be a good human being. My hub isn't a saint but he makes such effort to do his prayers at the mosque at every waktu even though he is tired from work. I am in between to Doa either that the thief diberi hidayat and won't do such things again or that he would be struck by lightning. Tell me which would be best...

Few weeks ago his credit card was abused and now this. And yet he never curse the people who cause him such stress. Ya Allah, adakah ini cara engkau hendak menebuskan dosa2 kami yang lalu? Lemah aku...tak terdaya.....I lose faith..not in HIM....but in people...

Ooga Chaga

Naturally we were excited. I have not been going for regular checkups. But Alhamdulillah the detailed screening shows that the baby is doing fine. We could see his/her nose and eyes. How cute! Hub was so excited he asked "What's that?" almost every minute. My gynae told us that our baby is on the bigger size than normal. Initially she mentioned that it could be diabetes but after seeing hubby she said it could also be just tall big genes from him. Cet! I'm praying it's just the genes..now hub has given me a strict NO NO to coke and chocolates. I'm not a coke drinker but I have been craving for it lately.

58.7kg. Yeah that's how heavy I am now. HORROR! But all of the excess is probably baby weight. Cause my body frame is pretty much the same. I just look like I'm carrying a ball underneath my top. Sleeping has never been the same anymore. I need pillows everywhere around me.

Today is everything extra for dearest. Extra love, extra attention, extra chilli, extra massage, extra kisses, extra manja. Why? Because it's BONUS DAY!!! Hehe. And as for me, I'm left with few more months to save whatever I can. It's VERY important for a woman to have her own moolahs. You'll never know what will happen in the future. Yeah we must have yakin rezeki dari Allah. But no effort to ensure 'backup' means big trouble. Hub said "best eh jadi isteri..dapat duit." Memang best. But I guess he'll never understand what goes through my mind.. make that every man won't understand that part of the woman's mind. And I'm not referring to the blood-sucking kinds yang terror kikis duit lelaki..

Datok Krepot and Siti

The past few weeks my daily inbox may it be work or personal account has been updated constantly about the initial gossip which eventually leads to the recent press conference. Make that more than 4 copies of the same email each everytime something new comes in.

Firstly, I don't give a rat ass who Siti chooses to marry. Her life. Secondly, who the hell cares about Dato's sons' escapades? Thirdly, do I really need to know what his ex-wife looks like? And I certainly don't care how big and beautiful his or Siti's house is. And lastly, WHO FRIGGIN' CARE WHAT SHOES SHE IS GOING TO WEAR ON HER BIG DAY? Oh for God's sake don't these people have a life of their own to think about than mocking others' ? Takde keja lain nak jaga tepi kain orang? What's gonna come out next? Her lingerie for their wedding night???? Oh please!!

I lost count of the number of emails I receive with the shoes images. How pathetic? Itu pon boleh jadi bahan e-mail forwarding. It's not news worthy to me. So don't include me in the mailing list. Oh oh and the other celebrity who also wasn't spared; Mawi. Yah ok he gets where he is today because of the public viewers. So that gives them the right to make his life decisions? My advice; next time celebrities have terminal illness, don't do anything until you get approval from your fans ok?? Let them sign whatever needed to be signed. Heck LET THEM PAY your bills. (Cey macam lah celebrity baca blog aku.)

Pendek kata, dorang punya seluar dalam lah nak kahwin ngan siapa. Nak putus tunang ke. Nak pakai kasut obit ke. Yang orang2 ni susah sangat kenapa?? Tak faham lah aku...

Oral rejection

Since stepping over the 3rd month mark, the vomitting episodes have delightfully disappear. My appetite was coming back, the sensitivity towards scents was also gone, strength to cook and clean was recovered and even intimacy was pro-activ all over again.

BUT NOW..I can kiss it all goodbye AGAIN?? For no apparent reason, last Friday my tummy felt really weird and I was breaking out in cold sweat during the bus ride home. The moment my foot set off the bus, I could no longer keep it in. The vomit came out like a fountain that needs no electricity to function thruout all those centuries. Thank goodness nobody was in the way else I would feel doubly miserable for making a mess on someone. Onlookers just stared with disgust and shooting daggers at me with their eyes for decorating the bus stop with a huge puddle of yucky stuff. Nobody was even sympathetic. How uncomforting.

And since that night, nothing could pretty much stay inside of me. Not even plain water. Although I'm glad that for a period of time I was beginning to enjoy this pregnancy, now I am back to how it began. What did I do wrong? Bad diet? The medication? Lack of rest? Stress? What? What? Urgh. But besides all that, it is an indescribable experience to feel the baby poking and moving from the inside. Everytime he/she moves, make me feel either macam nak kentot or muntah. I'm praying hard that maybe this puking nightmare could be a few days tingy and not come back ever again. Think positive. Positive.

Candy Time

What could be worst than taking 7 kinds of tablet 2 at a time thrice a day?? Do the maths. That's 42 tablets per day down my throat.

Urgh

Cold Sweat

It's no fun being very sick and pregnant at the same time. I couldn't even move my limbs on Sunday. Every inch of attempt turns into wimp from pain. Hub had to wheel me in at the Emergency ward after the clock strike midnight.

Moral of the story; never leave fever, flu or bad cough untreated. I have been procrastinating from going to the doctor and enduring my horrible cough for more than 2 weeks just because it really is hard to be on MC for an outsource contracted IT staff. And I have to be the one that suffer still in the end. Nevermind, 4 more months and I don't have to put up with that anymore. I hope.

And just about when my limbs are getting their life back, we have to be hit with yet another drama. Like as if physical stress isn't enough for me. It has to be creamed with mental torture. Sigh. I'm in between from laughing and crying at the same time. Going cuckoo.

Sometimes being seen as a strong and independent person thru the eyes of your partner could be a pressure. Because of the expectations he/she has for you. Without much thought given, you are expected to be able to do just about anything on your own. But in the end, you just come out weaker from trying to be strong for others. And you keep that weak side in silence......

Horny Pussy

Just when I finally can breathe through both nostrils and having no late night alarm buzzing my head off (read: world cup), there is just a perfect timing for a horny cat. Make that 2. Sound of them wailing thru the night. I don't know anything about cats. But it sounded like moaning and groaning. So I presume it's either they are gettin' jiggy with it or the female is in pain from giving birth to her juniors. It sounded like more than 2 cats...Orgy maybe?

Oh oh oh and the greatest part of it all is when I finally decide to give up sleeping, get up and into the washroom to do my Fajr prayers, silence creep in lah dey the moment I set foot onto the prayer mat. Blardy toot. When can I have peace? When?!

=====

Ok on a different and much much lesser-horny note altogether, I have finally made time to put up some pics of Imported Middle Eastern wear online that I am selling. Check it out here : http://alnouri.multiply.com More to come soon. Orders are welcome. Let's start shopping for the Ramadhan which is coming up soon...

Ps : The cats' annoying groan is still ringing in my head ....urgh...

Ooh Mama Mia Its Over!

So much for planning to get up and watch the final. But the cold got me stuck between my pillows. Hub's stoopid alarm clock from the handphone made so much noise last night I swear I could murder that little thing. He used to have this annoying song as the alarm I called it his anthem. And now its another hair-pulling tune altogether. Argh!

What is the first thing that happens in the office this morning? People going around collecting their bets. Predictable. 10 July is here and the world cuppy cup is finally over. I can rest in peace. Erm technically. UNLESS there is another cup kind coming that I don't know about.

Time to get a book with baking recipes. Yeeehaw.

How Do I?

Anyone love combo meals? I do. So here let me feed you with a combo entry. Nyam nyam nyam.

How do one who already has difficulty breathing because of pressure from the insides and to top it all; blocked nose in both holes? Pfffffffffffffffffft.

Anyhoo, last night was a get together dinner with the colleagues I never met. Except for a few of them. We are all stationed at different companies. The not-so-power of outsourcing. I'm the only female for the technical team. Cet.

Was already hungry but had to sit thru a brief of the company's vision revamp.

Look at my oh so tired face.

Final part of the combo; yesterday's news. Endless saga of sex videos starring local self-proclaimed porn vixens. And this time around, a 15 yr old malay girl. With 4 guys mind you. Champion. Whom to blame? Too much exposure on media? Lack of discipline? Or just phase of teenhood?

In Sg you don't have to buy dirty magazines. Just walk around town and you'll see life size print ads of almost-naked women with oozing creamy breast and skimpy thong which look thinner than my sweater's thread leaving nothing for the imagination. There is one right here in this building I work at and its larger than life size. And the model is sitting with her legs wide open in a calling manner allowing the audience to visually remove that thing she call underwear to get the steamier picture in the head. Heck the men/boys here don't need no keching-ching to spend on porn cds. They can have picks from lingerie shops, JCDeaux ads, and even late night SCV shows to help them wank it off. In layman's term ; masturbate.

When my mum was here for our b'fast date, she almost fainted looking at that ad. While my reaction was the total opposite. In fact there was no reaction at all. Which made me realise now how 'normal' it feels for our generation to be part of this sex oriented territory. And that alone is disturbing.

Ms Snorty

First of all, I'm not a fan of Nasi Lemak. Not really my favorite kind of food. Second of all I don't eat heavy food for b'fast or before lunchtime for that matter.

And here I am at 11.15 am about 2 hours away from lunch munching down a hot bungkus of Nasi Lemak at my work desk. This can't be happening. Usually bread or kuih2 would be enough to satisfy me. But not today.

Chet!

B.o.d.o.h

Some people can just ask the stupidest question that irritates the crap out of you which can simply make you want to spread all that crap onto his/her face and shove it up the nostrils.

For the millionth time, somebody today asked me again "Eeeeh wat happen to your face aaah?" This time is doubly irritating because it was in a very nyonya tone in the office tower lift in the presence of many others. I just had to snap.

Erm hello do you go up to people and ask "Eh why you have grey hair ah?" or "Eh why your face ugly one ah??" or "Eh why your nose so big and senget ah?" Did I ask for my hormones to react this way? No! Do I have any SPECIFIC idea what could cause this? No! Cause dammit if I do don't you blardy think I WILL HAVE solutions for it?

Thanks to my sore throat and fever which pushed me to drink plenty of warm plain water over the weekend it kinda flushed and detoxify my system in a way. And that really helped the face situation.

I don't need extra stress weighing on what I already have at the moment. It's not like I don't welcome comments or suggestions for remedy but do it with tact. Firstly it's not like she have perfect skin to begin with. And secondly I don't go around asking the obvious insensitively.

So bottom line, bugger off. Sod off.

Dessert Storm

All is well. Home safe and sound. I would have been ok if not for being in a pressure cooker by an overtly concern mother.Sigh. Bleh jadik bonkers.

Anyway, so much for welcoming him with open ehem arms *cough-legs-cough*. I'm hit by the fever and flu bug just hours before he came home. Bleaaargh. Dah lama tak demam. Skali kena macam ayam tercekik tulang aku.

Ok lah...let me get back to my dessert aka chendol production. yum yum.

cheetos.
