All asses were not created equal...

At last, ada jugak org yang keje company buat jeans sedar kewujudan org2 macam aku yang teringin nak pakai levi's tapi nggak bisa deh.

Karna 'my asses are not created equal to those of model-material-asses'. Levi's mendatangkan masalah untuk orang-orang seperti aku yang berpinggang ramping tapi berbontot a la K1m-Kardashian (tak bleh blah punya comparison). Jeans kena ambik size yg boleh cover paha drumstick and 2 cheeky-cheeks and we end-up with size 30++ which is way too big for our pinggang yg menten ramping (walau perut ada sedikit buncit). Add a belt to it and you'll see all the kedutan which will show up from under your shirt and it looks exactly like bulges tho you don't have one (ada unsur tipu di sini)

Until those brainy people in the jeans design team decided to cater our needs. Muaahhss, lap u . CurveID for women with curve (like moi..awww). U can be slight, demi or bold. Before it was launched, I'm pretty sure that I'm bold.

Masa tunggu boipren tadi petang, I had a peek at Sog0. To buy this pair tak bley suka suki ckp saiz & try. Wajib ukur dulu. Dia akan jerut perut dgn tali yg ada tali inci (measure tape) ditepi, masa ni boleh juga berlakon ala TummyTrim tapi konpem lemak terjongos jugak sbb dia ikat agak rapat ke badan. Pastu dia ukur my hip and my 'hippo-size-bo0ties'. She then calculated something, I heard she said minus 10 and I'm Dem1-Curve saiz 29. Waweee ini suda bagusss 2-in-1 good news, I'm not B0ld and my size <30>

So I will get my 1st jean that will have no gap at the back. I don't have to jahit pinggang seluar jeans ku lagi.

Eh kelupaan plak, there are skinny, straight or boot cut to choose from. I'll go for straight cut. Tak sampai hati nak seksa paha aku dgn membeli skinny. Belom lagi (tapi mungkin hehe) .

Tidak ku beli lagi karna design kesokaan ku suda kehabisan saiznya...salu camtu kan ? Benci..tapi rindu

Not that I don't care

I rarely blog about what's happening around, latest news and all. I read almost all online newspapers local & foreign and alternative media. EVERYDAY. But I dont blog about it.

Reason being, I dont want my blog to receive visitors yang sesat while searching for these news. This blog still appear in Go0gle search and if it hits the right keyword, this blog can appear as the top result but to do that will require some knowledge about my life. I even changed name of places or replace 'O' with '0' (zero), 'i' with '1' to avoid Google crawlies from dragging my blog into their result page. I'm no NuffNan9 blogger :)

But today, I do feel like blogging about the news esp about the wrath of Gunung Merap1. We'll see whether I got the energy to do it.

Till then, have a good day everyone, it's Thursday and Friday is a coming :)

Of Forum & Books

Attend a whole day forum in Mandarin 0riental, not expecting to receive tons of hardcover books. My luck, I was given a copy of book on takaful & re-takaful that was launched before lunch. F.O.C. It will cost me close to RM100 if I were to buy from bookstore. Luv Luv

End of session, I changed my heels for a flat pump (lucky I had it in my canvas bag) cause I have to literally drag the bags which were full & heavy with books. I loike. Tu pun aku x pi mana2 booth to collect souvenirs or whatnot, else mau aku sort & throw other contents.

Ku heret, ku seret kaki kembangku until I i found a place called Kin0kuniya :) Tak serik...grabbed another 2 books and some stationeries while waiting for boifren. Dinner. Sembang. Rempit. Bath. Blog. Tired.

Ready to start my daily reading rituals like before.

End of day.

Tingat jaman dolu2..

Tadi jalan-jalan carik nasik ayam kat G1ant Batu Kep, skalik ada booth Creat1ve Ent (sure korang penah g lawatan sambil blaja masa skolah dulu kan ? eleh..jgn tipu). Mula2 aku x perasan sape si penjualnya, aku menarik tertarik kau da boom sbb nampak dia letak RM5 besau2 kat kabinet tu.

Novel 5 hengget sebijon ? Hmm murah bangat seh..belek, belek, belek. Nantilah..round dulu sambil angkat night gown seketul (iklan : nk pomot sila beli baju tido brand fiori2, x yah nak perabih $$ kat la seksa senza. Aku peminat) . Makan nasik ayam seround, bungkus sekor burrp, eh bukan ko tgh diet ke? hehe iye, tapi pagi tadi exam xleh diet nanti ilmu tak masuk :P

Dah kenyang baru la terbuka hati aku round 1x lagi, terus 'bungkus 3 bijik, kak' ceh mcm order kat mamak je kan ? Dah bayar, mata aku terpempan (eceh maklumla baru lps beli 3 bijik novel melayu, ayat sastera terus) . Woh! katun feveret aku dari kecik...collection...in hardcover. Woh lagi skali ! Katun feveret bapak aku jugak nih. Kalau baca Gila2, terus belek 1st page...katun Jaafar Taib yang tak ada dialog tapi lawak nak mampus. Sbbnya muka, mata katun dia mmg kelas, even watak2 sampingan mcm biawak kecik kat kaki gajah boleh buat aksi lawak...

Terus sambar juga. Gembira.

Suami nampak. Mau juga. Budak Minang ada ?. Ada. Sila beli dua. Kenapa ? Sambungan katanya. Suami gembira.

Pulang dari Giant ada 2 orang dewasa yang gembira dan 1 orang kanak-kanak yang memang sentiasa gembira. Dua kanak-kanak yang tidak ikut kurang gembira kerana adiknya pulang dgn jam tangan pink berhologram minnie boleh pancar ke lantai, dinding dan mata.

Buku Lama VS Buku Baru

Last Tuesday, I took a break and made my way to BookXcess and as expected, I can't help myself when it comes to books books books what more when it's so cheap cheap cheap. I bought these :

1. World Without End - Ken Follet (RM17.90 RM39.90) 1000pages++!!
2. The Choice (Hardcover) - Nicholas Sparks (RM24.90 RM89.90)
3. The Gift (Hardcover) - Cecelia Ahern (RM19.90 RM69.90)
4. Empress Orchid - Anchee Min (hehe ku beli jua) (RM17.90 RM34.90)
5. Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens (RM7.90)
6. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (RM7.90)
7. Alice in Wonderland (RM7.90)
8. The Jungle Book (RM7.90)

Tak caya ? Nah tengok resitnya dong..RM116 for 8 books (4 bestsellers, 2 adult classics and 2 kids classic). Free membership + free book thong ( what a sexy name, i loike)


So, that will be my new reading stuffs. What about these then ? Hohoho sgt uzur buku2 ini, aku masih mencari tempat mau 'refurbish' buku2 ini which were printed back in 1950s !! yes...These are some of the books that my abah collected since his school days and these books were my favorite when I was a child. I don't know how many time I've re-read all of it. I'm proud to say that I've read Hamka's greatest novels when I was only 8 yrs old. Thanx to my abah. His habit melekat on me and apart from reading, there is another habit which I inherited till now...

Which is...wrapping the book !! I can't focus on my reading if I've yet to wrap it. If I desperately need to read it right after buying then I'll open up the book enough for me to read. I wont let the book, terkangkang, terkelepet dan sebagainyaa....kalau buku tulis anak aku pun aku wrap semua, korang imaginelah buku buku kesayangan, kan ? tapi kenapa buku yang ni bapak aku tak jaga ? Sebabnya, macam-macam org pinjam, sana sini, koyak rabak & lepas tu abah dah lost interest in reading novels, he moved into academic and religious stuffs. Penuh beberapa almari, all nicely wrapped.

Some of the books :

1. Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijk - Hamka
2. Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan - Shahnon Ahmad
3. Di Dalam Lembah Kehidupan - Hamka
4. Keadilan Ilahi - Hamka
5. Rentong - Shahnon Ahmad
6. Dusta - Aziz Afkar
7. Anak dan Kemanakan - Marah Rusli
8. Menunggu Bedok Berbunyi - Hamka
9. Jejak Langkah - Abdullah Hussain
10. Kenang2-an hidup Hamka - Hamka's Biografi

Still looking for copy of 'Dedaun Hijau Di Angin Lalu' by Manaf Hamzah. I read photocopied version when I was in Form 2. Sanggup x tido tunggu turn, bengkak mata baca bawah selimut. Gila sedih wooo...I want a real copy as a memento.

Hari-hari terakhir Syawal

Dihabiskan dengan acara...MAKAN (lagi ??). Bukan nak posa 6...apa nak jadi korang nih ?

Bila :: 7 Okt 2010
Mana :: Balang Field
Siapa Tamu :: Org Gombak + Org Kajang + Org Nilai
Siapa Host :: Cikgu Eline & Incik Burn

Sebelum Syawal habis, 1 acara makan2 yang diadakan pada hari bekerja telah berlangsung. Pada mulanya ia adalah acara 'aku nak beraya rumah Eline'. ( Kajang, Putra Heights boleh cover, umah geng se-Gombak x sampai2, ampun cikgu). Kemudian ada org itu yg suaminya sangat bizi di waktu malam (???) juga mahu menjoin dan seorang lagi yang jauh di mata minta dipostponekan acara supaya dapat menunggu suaminya pulang dari perbatasan kejauhan.

Malam itu Gombak digegarkan oleh suara2 nyaring kanak-kanak ribena yang berjumlah 9 orang. Tuan rumah, pasni harus pasang bekas lapik telur kasik sound proof sikit.

Dah penat layan perut, jeling/tengking/jegil & sebagainya, kami pulang dgn hati riang, perut kenyang tapi tetap tensi sbb esoknya kirjaaaaaaaa...

Apa2pun, TQ sbb susah payah berkompol di hari bekerja kerana kononnya wiken sgt pack, juga kesanggupan mendengar jeritan, rintihan, sentap-an anakmu anakku jua yg out-of control.

Tima kasih banyak2 tuan rumah yang masak mcm nak makan 20 org dan sbb kasik tapau gulai & sup (x yah masak utk esok yay!!).

Tima kasih sbb tak serik terima tetamu bingit.

Selamat.Hari.Raya.

Layan gambar yang surprisingly x dak gambar adult aka mak2 yang tengah goss. Secara kronologinya...

Mesyuarat dulu, cemana nak havockan suasana

Semua gumbira..peacee

Opps tetiba....sentap tapi stylo

Kawan2 terkasima, dimanakah silapnya...

Dah boring, buat lawak sesedap rasa korang ye

Siriyes...tak bley blah punya, ko dangdut ke cik kak ?

Mereka yang tewas...

Gula2 jelly ni !...erghh Iman tertipo mkn 'Sour'

Pelan Bertindak Secara Kilat - 11 Oct 2010

37 DAYS to go

After a shocking 'revelation' by the scale last nite, aku tersedar diri sikit. Maka terus beraksi dgn pantas.

AKSI pada 11 Oct 2010

Before bed last nite : gulped 1 lime juice diluted with 1/2 cup warm water - Done

Before work : 7.30 - 8.30 treadmill session - Failed

Breakfast : Milk + Cereal - Done (additional 1 cup of kopi-o)

Kudap : Cereal bar + banana - Failed (dangerous for dinner time)

Plain water : 1 litre - as of posting time 'Failed', 500ml the most

Lunch hour : Gym - Failed

Lunch : Tuna Sandwich + Fruits - Done

Tea-time : Skipped - Done

Dinner : Kuew tiaw tomyam Hj Tapah :) - not yet, harap2 x tergudes dgn teh tariknya

Cannot skip too much coz I'm just starting. Thinking of having detox (liquid diet) session 1st but I don't think I can handle coz I've been eating and stuffing my face like nobodys business lately. It would be too much for my tummy to handle the 'emptiness' esp around midnight. I'm sure I can get rid at least 3kg in the 1st 3 days if i manage to maintain my diet. The first few kilos is always easy, right ? esp if you coupled ur diet with exercise.

Aiming for 1-2kg per week (You've done 5kg before so trust yourself). Should be achievable. Will post a weekly result (janji manis seperti biasa)

Biggest achievement ? No teh tarik (normally 2,3 glasses per day) , No big size Western set breakfast + french toast (almost daily). No bakery stuffs, puffs (daily coz its yummy).

Hitting the scale in kelajuan cahaya

I'm very sure that I was just 57kg last Thursday

and tonite, after feeling a bit 'heavy' and looking at perut yg membuak (while eating char koay teow in kg.baru) I stepped on the scale and .......

To add further insult to my wound, read my other stats, which can be mmm scary biskut marie

I'm still picking my jaw off the floor...

Acara tepek dinding

It's no use to deny that I am very much like my abah, I inherited so much artsy fartsy side of him. At one point in my life (when I used pen more than keyboard) my handwriting was almost similar to him (he got a beautiful strokes, so WAS mine kahkahkah). Photography, books and anti-misalignment etc all are his trade that unconsciously showing in me, that's what my mom kept on telling me.

I was brought up in a house that was full of photo frames and oil painted arts which were painted by my abah. He even wrote (yes, as in writing on paper) a philosophy or nice quotes on the wall. Quotes such as 'Jangan jadi seperti lilin, membakar diri untuk menerangi orang lain, berilah sinarmu tapi jangan musnahkan dirimu'. It was written across our living wall. He painted bubbles, lines here and there. it's everywhere...our house was painted with glossy paint, never that boring dull paint.

So it came as no surprise when I started to visualise the same thing for my new house. I was thinking of doing it the 'manual' way coz at that time (few years ago), to get a wall decal, it will cost you arms and legs just for 1 design and only available online. The nearest shop that I can place my order is S'pore.

Luck is on my side, I don't have to worry anymore as there a tonnes of these stickers around :) Just decide you want the mahal one or cheapo type. Early this year, I bought my 1st sticker in Gaya Market KK for rm6/piece only to discover that it was selling at rm2/piece in pasar malam. I bought in bundles.

I wanted to change this family area into a play area, so I put the stickers on after that KK trip.

Last week I've added another design at the bottom, does it look too much, crowded ? or better then the 1st one ?

Next ? I'm going to order quotes as well, alang2 dah macam anak abah kan ? Complete package je lah kan ? Wall quotes that look something like this... with nicer font and personalize quotes

Or like this

New (and huge) addition to the family

My SIL who got married on 01.01.10 had delivered her offspring few days shy of her dream date i.e. 10.10.10. She wanted the baby birthdate to match her wedding date.

But the baby had his own plan, he wanted to come out earlier. After 1 night in hospital, his mommy seems to achieve only 1-cm dilation from 3 to 4cm. Loooong way to go. He got an idea...he pooped !! So he was immediately delivered within 1-hour via 'tingkap', hitting the scales at 3.88kg !! I jokingly told my SIL, 'ok jgk caesar, kalau tak jenuh woo nak push budak besar tu'.

Welcome to the family yet-to-be-named nephew !!

Alhamdulillah, my SIL seems to blessed with so many good things after all the suffering & pressures that she had to face before. Alhamdulillah jugak coz my MIL can now let go all of her worries and heartaches.

And I can breathe a sigh of relief as well.
