aduh... kesian la blog aku ni jadi tempat simpan habuk. fuh fuhhhhhh.. *please pardon the waterspray*

my ramadhan this year is quite good, alhamdulillah. berjaya bangun sahur tiap2 pagi! yeay! (touchwood) harap2 sampai hujung ramadan i'll still keep up. kalau tak mmg mashaAllah susah susah SUSAAAHHH mau bangun sahur, minum milo pun tutup mata. skrg sudah improve, walaupun juz with cereal / milk / bread / weetameal / milo with supplements and loads and loads of plain water :D

iftar pun menarik. yg klakar nya i'm not very tempted with all the stuff at the bazaar. but i'm not a lavish spender kat bazaar ramadhan anyway, cukup dengan 1+1 main for me and him, 1 jenis kuih / light side dish and air kalau agak2 kena berbuka dlm keta. this year smpat balik rumah b4 azan, so beli lauk half, another half masak je, dgn nasik. sudahla cne nak kecik hari2 makan nasik...

all weekends for ramadhan scheduled for travel / reunion etc. last weekend sudah balik sp, berpening bersama2 abah cari lampu kipas curtain segala. abah sgt ambitious, lps pasang lampu dah nak naik rumah baru. tapi serious tak habis2 beli lampu, i have no idea that a house can pack so much lamps!

i've been hankering for the third Stila Girl Travel palettes, gila punya stalk website hari2 tgk tak keluar2 lagi. brapa haribulan dah ni???? (mesti esok kuar, last month kuar 20hb)
just so you know, the first two look like these:while i'm at it, terasa mcm nak jugak yg ni:
god knows i'm a sucker for travel sized stuff, so a couple of travel-sized clicky cheek stains is giving me loud and clear signal to pick them up as well (whether the pomegranate crush -described as deep plum- suit my cheeks or not, belakang cerita ok! haahaha)

bottom pan alert!

Helpppppp!!!

its not one..

not two..

but THREE!!!!!

i've got three blushes that already hit pan!! arrrrkkkk!!!

that goes to show how much i depend on blushes these days ;) the one on the bottom left (stila cc in peony) hits record time, 6 months! granted its kinda small, being 2+grams, but still.. n i only used it after zohor prayers in the office!

i know i can still depend on them and these two..

but my cheeks do itch these few days for another ;)

sori ye. kesian blog ni kurang kasih sayang muah muah muah.

a few things:

1. trip to bandung telah berjaya. happy sangat dapat kirai duit dgn jayanya. not so much of sightseeing, loads and loads of shopping. but since its a family trip, 160kgs of luggage limit saved the day ;)

2. shuhada dah nak sampai dari egypt malam ni, yeay!

3. baru dapat tgk solomon kane and book of eli. verdict for both: SO-SO.

4. the shopping bug didnt leave even after bandung. heck when did it ever leave haha. shopped online and offline for more tudung, cosmetics and shoes. my current wishlist:

its a limited edition Stila Girl Travel Palettes! stilacosmetics.com is launching 1 new palette each month til december, and the best part is, its only USD10!!! unfortunately the online shop doesnt ship to malaysia, unlike benefitcosmetics.com. SEDIHHHHHHHHHHH

5. a colleague who juz had his 2nd kid, and another very pregnant colleague reminded me that, after kids, you'd want to spend more for them and wouldnt care much for yourself. with that being said, my parcels akan sampai next week, yeay!!!!

6. rasa dah lama tak balik sp, walaupun my colleagues noted that i balik kampung a lot. almost every month ada balik kampung trip, be it hariz's or mine. next weekend balik sp with my sista yo! durian fest!!

i lost my ring.

yep. bundled together with my watch.

i'm not the kind that once i wear it i'll never take it off. noooo i just HAVE TO take it off everytime i wash my hands, take ablutions, shower, sleep, its amazing how i didnt lost it all my three years that i had it.

until it happened. today. we were at my BIL's when i took it off n hung it into my un'clasp'able watch, as usual. but i didnt keep it in a bag or anything, instead i juz put it on the carpet (???!!!).

masa nak balik tu laaaa cari tak jumpa. abis satu rumah kena punggah tak jumpa. balik meleleh2 airmata. tapi senyap2 je sebab nnti mesti kena bebel. tapi sayang ok. mana tak risau. that was my engagement ring, n i love love love my fossil.

mine is in copper.

pic googled.

balik rumah punggah satu2 semua kain silk trganu yg berkotak2 yg dibawak balik. pun tak jumpa.

TANGKAP LELEH, BABAK 2.

until my BIL's wife called. rupanya si naufal 'simpan' dalam bakul basikal dia. adoiiiiiii... penat risau weiiii..

i'm feeling a storm of headache coming up. dah la esok kerja. i hate mondays. titik.

hello!

oh dear, its been sooooo long.

lately i'm not feeling any inclination to write anything here. but on a few stuff:

1. did watch iron man 2 eons ago. BESSSTTTT!! dan all the downloaded ones berlambak2jugak. tgh tunggu shutter island nih :)

2. OUR THIRD ANNIVERSARY!!!!! juz had dinner at TGIF since we had to work that day. had a pleasant wake up call come midnight, but i'm not telling ;D

3. weekends are fully booked starting this week till end of june for weddings. every week orang kawin wei, n those are ones that if they'r not close to me, close to hariz. or else close to both of us. mana mau lari??

4. mak pesan to ease off the dinners. bila dah pesan tu pulak rasa susah ya Rabbi. what with those kenduris all lined up. dah la bulan 4 n 5 ni penuh dgn aqiqah invites. kat fridays tak la makan sampai tersadai, tapiiiii appetizer, my main and his main semua cheeeeezzzyyy. the kinds that go straight to my hips and butt. adoooiiii... pastu esok nya makan kat big brother's pulak???!!

5. kena bersiap sedia. mlm ni ada wedding! now where's my girdle....

suuweeeeettttt!

i admit, i have a very sweet tooth, n i love love love desserts!! be it traditional malay ones or fusion / western ones, i love them all. i recently picked a habit to make bubur yg manis2 for lunch, instead of making it for evening tea. blame it on my mum, yg selalu masak tak berenti2. org baru je abis kemas meja lepas lunch dia dah sibuk buat kuih la, goreng cucur la, bubur la segala makneka dia buat kat dapur.

but oh ya, hariz pun layan je aku masak time pelik2. breakfast lewat -brunch la konon, bihun goreng ka hapa, pastu pukul 2 mkn bubur manis. pukul 5-6 kuar makan :)

recent bubur kacang

bubur for two

kacang hijau 2 genggam - rendam

sagu 2 tbsp - rendam

gula semanis yang perlu

garam sikit

1/2 kotak santan kara

air

daun pandan optional

rebus kacang sampai kembang atas api slow. jaga jgn sampai hangus ok. air jgn banyak sgt, agak2 1/2 inch above kacang tu je.

dah kembang betul baru tambah air, sagu, gula n santan. biar reneh atas api sloooww. letak garam. siap!

baru ni makan bubur jagung spiked with pulut, sedap gilaa! it didnt help that i had that at 10.30pm. bukan aku masak ok! my BIL's in-laws buat tahlil, bukak restaurant, maka makan sedap2 la malam2. dgn nasik, dgn bubur yg ada pulut, haizzzz... bila la nak menyelim...
