Value Village 50% off sale
what's that make me? a very happy almost mid-30 woman who thinks money is scarce and a dime is like 100 bucks. The last time I went to VV was eons ago. I seldom go there coz 1) M doesnt like me to go there, 2) M doesnt like me to buy things over there and 3) reason no 1 and no 2. But, pauper lives as pauper makes, and VV is a shopping haven for pauper comme moi. when I got there, there was sea of people and I was so confident that I will only get out from there with a pair of jeans that I will not regret to throw it later when I achieve certain goal (which I dont know when it's going to happen) of my ideal weight. But I stopped at book aisle and found all the disneys' hard cover fairy tales stories sold only for $0.50 each and on top of that, u'll get 1 free for every 5 purchases. I endup with 27 books for almost $19, 2 skirts, 2 pants, 1 jeans and a track bottom for only $30 (brand adidas, GAP, Columbia sports). and I got Dan brown's both books, Angel and demons and The da vinci code. both for a price of $3. SSSSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!
NKOTB
last nite at MMM, there was an hour slot all about New Kids On the Block. I was laughing my arse off seeing all the punctured jumper, tiny ponytail, baggy jeans.. the buttons, the tape cassette.. the walkman - which was so cool back then if people caught u carrying one. but now, donnie wahlberg dah botak ok. and jon's kids are sooooooooo super duper cute and he become a real-estate agent after they split up. there was a clip of one of their first performance on one of this berkilat high school stage (somewhere in dorchester which is one of the poorest district in boston), and you can see all these berkilat kids do breakdance and rap along with them. haiyo, pecah peruk aku gelak. but, nothing beats the joy of lipsynced the ol' songs, and the steps that my friends and I used to practice at school. agh, the ol times. they've gone and never come back

eid adha experience
hmm ter-rajinlah pulak.
It was sunny but cold. I went to masjid that predominantly by francophone, as a matter of fact the khutbah was also in french and left me with the most bored yawn ever. anyway, towards the end of prayer, a guy made an announcement, with a little understanding of langue d'amour, I managed to grasp that there will be a conversion event.
on that eid adha's morning, umat Islam increased the population by 1. and first time for me to witness to most meaningful experience in one's life. to witness, a person who sin is completely null and if she died by that second, insyaa Allah, jannah is where she will be. I was so touched, I mean, a person made a big sacrifice to leave her belief to be a muslim and yet a born muslim, struggle to disassociate themselves as one.
And we blame others for being prejudice towards us. It's not easy, yes I have to admit. the look, the stare, the sneer. but what's different it makes between them and us.

fill the gap
I've been spending beyond my means recently. the KSU hi-tea is cancelled due to swine flu and Canadian contigent had to bit adieu to MWG as well. sheer dissapointment i believe but maybe for the best. afterall, when mengenangkan sakit yg membawa maut, you only live once. So why risk it. My french class doesnt get any better if I must say. Partly my fault for not doing much after class. Zero listening, speaking or reading. good enough to maintain my deficiency in french. M is BUSYYYYYYYYYYYYY mauling his head on the wall writing a thesis, computer crash and sleepness nites works gone with it. painful indeed. been there, done that. the insanity hormone filled every molecule of the blood system in the brain. Good excuse for a celebration when the misery is over.

There's always another mountain
I am not really Miley cyrus fan but the first time I heard this song at country music awards (WHAT?!!), I found that the song is very inspiring. at least to the emotional state I am right now. I dedicated this song not just for me but to a dear sis, who I guess needs all the lucks in the world to break all the odds against her.

karipap oh karipap 2
Actually, I have to admit that I pretty excited to make my 1st order. Called sis #1 and she was happy too. I remembered when I was in States while back, and she was there too and she came out with this idea of us selling sate at the mosque after jumaah prayer. The problem with me, I am vey bad with numbers, keja nak bg free aja. but of course, it didnt and never happenned, with me in West coast and she's in East Coast. So, when I told her about the order thingy (macam ye ye ajakan), she suggested, why dont I take a teaching job, and make frozen karipap as my part time and design a karipap machine. I loathe the 1st idea, agreeable with the 2nd one and cheers to the latter. M said make it manual while I am thinking automatic. maybe the most challenging part is to work on the kelim as I dont like the existence karipap mould. but as my design prof used to say, "dont invent the wheel." I cant wait to do the analysis part, I can feel the adrenaline rush.
karipap oh karipap
A friend of mine has been nagging me on frozen karipap and murtabak for the past 2 weeks. And I did my 1st ordered frozen karipap last nite. But the problem is M thinks I underpriced them. Hello! does he expect me to charge per hour engineer rate? if I did that, my frozen karipap better be the best damn ever. Please dont tell me that I need to charge $120 (that's a labor cost alone) for 50 pieces small karipap. Bila aku cakap macam ni, dia tantrum plak. pehal ko labu?!! Anyway, ~kena delete, sebab terover poyo~ ahaks apa ko sibuk nyah. suka haku lah, blog haku

twilight mode
I just completed Twilight from Stephanie Meyers. The book must be good or entertaining enough to make me stick to it from after jumaat prayer until midnite. Oklah buku budak2. So far, no author can make me continously sit down and read for hours except for Sidney Sheldon. The reading was easier, thanks to the movie (which I havent watch it yet, though I tend to), I can easily picture Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. I can see why there are many tween and teenagers so helplessly in love with this vamp lad character, who wouldnt. As my age as old three hundred sixty four year old Dr Carlisle Cullen, I dont really see myself scraping and cutting thru magazine pages of William Patterson or Kristen Stewart (if I got their names correct). As a person who actually live in a colder weather place, I dont really appreciate if M's hands are cold as ice. NOTHING romantic in it ok. that's the last thing you want from your spouse. I wonder if we malaysianized the story, to have a pocong as a bf. yikes.. anyway, 4 books to go.
Young blood
where action lies on the heart not on the akal. Where actions can smear consequences on the long run. But again, siapalah aku nak menegur.

tales of the week
At the moment, I am searching for this VC by Train. I noticed that my earbuds somehow mellowed to more layan blues genre. and seperti biasak, the song falls in melancholic,loneliness and heart-broken mood. Probably that's the mood I am in right now.
Well, new York and Ottawa, they both have snow or as a matter of fact, Ottawa has more and probably whitier. But the sbows are no longer in the ground and it is a sign for a bulb to bloom. To Ottawa spring staple - the tulips festive
Years of living in this place, never once set my foot on the festival.
Aku teringin okay, tp laki malas nak bersesak2 dgn lautan manusia
And the intrigues fade as time goes by
I am more intrigued to listen to Kak Ja's story of how the groundhog stole her first Tulip bulb.
Am I Ottawa-nized? I hope not because Kelang Lama masih teguh berdiri di
hatiku
2er ceriti
~~~~~~~~~~
Am not! the doc predicted an early pregnancy loss. How can there be a lost when there was none.
Am I sad? Actually, I am pretty much blur. Mixed feeling??!! Not really. Excited?! a bit coz I dont have to worry about the berakit plan.
I have to admit that I scared. Scared of today's reality in raising a child with 5 fluffies in tow, JOBLESS, unachieved dreams. Am I ready to let GO my NOW me?

the original VC needed a request but the song so reminds me of our last meeting after a very long long time
