//a new life~

2009-11-22T19:33:00.000-08:00

Deary me,

A year has almost passed! I've been getting questions why Aqeel keeps having a haircut cos thats the last post on my blog for the past couple of months! (ok 11 months to be exact). Hey, i've been busy ok?! Be fair will you? :p

I really have been pretty occupied. In fact at this moment of typing, I'm waiting in the car for the husband to come out from the ICA building with a brand new passport. Will need it for our short trip to Bintan this Thursday.

So as always, a short summary of what's been happening in my life the past months:
- Aqeel turned 18 months on 7 November and he can officially go to playgroup now. We've selected Cherie Hearts (but have yet to make payment) so yes, the little boy is big now and is going to school in a months time. Goodbye nenek and atok, hello teachers and friends.

- I've quit ESPN. Am going to be working at Suntec - will reveal name of co when i start. Sorry about all that secrecy but i bet all my readers know where I'm going (haha, i need more readers!) I've got my fingers burnt slightly for changing jobs (and minds) within weeks but I believe its for the best for myself and for my family. I've hurt feelings and disappoint people in the process of changing jobs and I'm really sorry. I just pray that the decision I made is a wise one.

- I've launched July Favors!! Now thats the highlight of the year! Thanks to my dearest chabs, we managed to launch JF in a blink of an eye!! We've even gone for an exhibition and sales are slow but steady now. I'm so happy to have a business to call my own!

- I'm also launching Keep Printing with Najib in December. That's coming right up so for all your printing needs, do come to us!

Life is pretty the same besides that. I just turned a year older. So did Najib. And so did our relationship. We're 3 years on into our marriage now. Still holding strong. Still loving every moment. As the husband said before, should time stand still, cherish this moment.

Ok that sure has no relevance but an ending is better than none. Ha!

Ciao people..!

Aqeel's head was starting to look like it was growing a mane rather than normal human being baby hair so we decided that he needed a snip snip.

We were at Parkway and found a salon specially for kids and so...

Here are some pics of the boy with me translating his thoughts.

"Eh nak buat apa ni???"

"Oh no...my hair...*sad*"

*pasrah*

"EH! TAU POTONG KE TAK NI? KITA NAK ARMANI LAAAAA...BUKAN CREW CUT HOKAY!! TSK!"

I couldnt get a smiling picture of the end result because the end result saw the boy climbing out of the seat and hanging on to me for dear life. Maybe he thought the aunty had other plans for the scissors. Don't worry la Aqeel, kan dah sunat!! *looks at Ariz* hmmm....

Ah. Well hello there Ariz!! :D *snip snip*

2008-11-20T11:55:00.000-08:00

November? November already? End of November already??!!!

Oh my gawd…its been what? *counts fingers* 3 months since I last updated? Ok, my ass should so be smacked! I’m so bad at reminding myself that I should diligently update every week no matter how busy I am. Maybe I should key-in an auto reminder in my phone. Can someone please remind me to do that please? -___-

Ok so here’s a brief summary of what happened in Aqeel’s life the past 3 months:
- Aqeel turned 6 months (dah besau anak aku)
- Aqeel has 2 bottom teeth now
- Aqeel can sit up for a while (lepas tu terus dia senget)
- Aqeel can turn & slide
- Aqeel loves remote controls (and all other electronic devices)
- Aqeel loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Backyardigans (and Barney but I’m not going to write that down) :p

Here are other things that are worth mentioning:
- My dearest cousin Nur Salmah gave birth to Mikail Haziq on 4th November at 11plus am. Amacam best kan? Nak beranak lagi kan? Hehehe
- Hubby turned 31 on 8th November. We had a (not so romantic) hotel stay at Swissotel.
- Me and hubby celebrated our 2 yrs wedding anniversary on 11th November and we went on a Chinese Junk for dinner. Check out the details here: http://watertours.com.sg/schedule.html

Some pics that I took the last 3 months:

Mikail Haziq...
A view from the 57th floor of Swissotel...

Aqeel's studio photo taken on 15th Nov...

Swimming fun!!

To 'Fidgets' on 18th Nov...

Family love... :D

Tata people, till 3 months later. Hehehe

2008-08-27T17:39:00.001-07:00

Happiness (and much relief) comes in the form of a stained pantyliner.

'Nuff said.

2008-08-25T22:49:00.000-07:00

Let's see now. Its been almost a month since I started work and how has it been so far?

So I check on Aqeel at least twice everyday, once before noon and another time around 4pm. So I've been diligently clearing mails and have started doing the norm, drafting, corresponding, irritating my colleagues.

But one thing came as a shock (or maybe not so) as I begin my routine of waking up at 5.30am, dropped Aqeel at mum's at 7am and arrived work at 8.30am: I become a shopaholic.

Why?

Maybe all that staying at home and changing gazillion nasty nappies caused this.

Lets see (or calculate rather), this past month alone, I've bought:

A belt from charles & keith (C&K)
Another belt from Cotton On Body (COB)
3 pairs of shoes from C&K (one black, another brown and another turquoise) (GAWD! Turquoise? What was I thinking???)
A bag from C&K (Just had to have it, cos my colleague brought hers to work and I fell in love with it and come on, theft IS A crime rite?)
A bag from Kate Spade (uhuh. went out for 3hr lunch to taka on one fine Friday, went to KS, got the bag and left)

And not forgetting the clothes I got from..er...everywhere I go? And then there's Aqeel's stuffs that I bought.

So yeah, I'm pretty broke. Actually I don't know that for sure cos I'm really scared to update that passbook or see that receipt when I do my withdrawals.

Someone please shake me out of my senses.

Oh, and does anybody have a C&K discount card? From all that spending I still haven't got myself a membership card. DUH!!! *slaps forehead*

2008-08-11T17:38:00.000-07:00

I just found out that Aqeel's passport application was rejected because his photo was unclear and was not in accordance with ICA's standards.

Maybe they really should take a look at how difficult it is to take a picture of a flapping 3mth old whose idea of taking photos include kicking his mummy's chest and pulling mummy's hair.

Here's what happened when I tried taking his photos:

"Noooooooo...I don't want to take picture!!"

"Er......"

"Bluek!"

"Is this better mummy????!!!"

"I'm tired already lah..."

There. I GIVE UP...

2008-08-10T11:06:00.000-07:00

She's finally OUT!!

Nurdarwisyah - Aqeel's latest cousin has arrived - all pink (her lips) and all black (her hair), the little darling is smart enough to pop on 080808, bringing a little luck to Aby & Tahirah. Here's a pic of her doing what she does best at the moment: SLEEPING!!

When we went to East Shore to visit her, deja vu hit me a little as I was reminded of leaving that place bringing little Aqeel home. Here's my little pumpkin at 3 months and 3 days. His hobby now includes scratching his face (and head), sucking his fingers (and hand) and flipping his ears (which was what he was doing at the moment this pic was taken)

You grow up so fast darling...

2008-07-28T01:30:00.000-07:00

Dearest mummy, I know you only have 2 more days left at home with Qeeqeel before u start work so Qeeqeel want to post something here in your blog for you to look at when you are in the office ok...

Thank you for taking time to upload my pics and label them "AQEEL". It makes blogging so much easier for me. Please don't forget to print them and sort them out into a photo album (and that I'm sure will take you another month)

Here are some of Qeqeel's favourites:

My first cry (ok first sound actually). Uhuh. I heard from one of my many neneks that babies cry when they pop because they are born into this cold, harsh world full of deceit and lies. Hmm..is this true mummy?

This is me at 1 and half months old. I like this picture very much cos I think I look like some mamat salleh celup. I'm cute right? Its ok, I know that already cos yes mummy, you say that to me everyday. :)

Remember that time we went to Kiddy Palace the other day to find a nice cap to cover my patchy hair? I'm sad cos all the nice ones are too big and the small ones are just too er...small..and yucky of cos.

I don't really like this photo because I look kinda childish sucking my fingers but because its mummy's favourite photo of the moment, I have put it up...

Mummy dearest, I'm gonna miss our morning baths and afternoon feeding sessions together. :_( Please don't be sad ok cos I'll be very sad too. I promise I will be a good boy and listen to nenek and atuk. Please leave office at 6pm sharp everyday ok...? I love you mummy..

Love,
Qeeqeel

P.S Nope, I still cannot walk and talk but I sure can type. Heh Heh.

2008-07-19T13:18:00.000-07:00

Looking back, I realised I haven't been blogging much. What's new you say? Snorts. Ok fine, thousand apologies. Every single time I feel like blogging, the little one will wake up from his nap and demands for things that I cannot refuse because if not the whole neighbourhood will start throwing eggs at me for not being able to keep a crying baby down. I kinda forgot that apart from caring for Aqeel, I still have the big baby to care for (whose needs are usually handled only at night) and a house that needs cleaning up. So yes, in between feeds and sleep (Aqeel's, not mine), I'm usually busy with laundry, cooking (uhuh), folding clothes, wiping dust off the table and doing online shopping. Well, the hot momma has to have some time for herself too right! So, you yummy mummies out there who'd like to spend some doolah and don't wanna leave home, please register with singaporemotherhood.com and go to their forums. Thanks to big SIL who 'encouraged' me, I'm now an online shopaholic minus all the plastic bags. Wee!~

Aqeel is such a big boy now that sometimes I think he can secretly walk and talk but doesn't want to so he can bully his parents into doing things for him. Sigh. I'm so gonna miss spending time with him when my maternity leave is up. Which is (looking at calendar) another 11 more days to go. Oh goodness, I hope work will not stress me up. Time is really flying doncha think?

2008-05-26T20:53:00.000-07:00

Milkshake = Aqeel drinking from the mammary glands and then Najib tells a joke.

2008-05-22T12:41:00.000-07:00

Hello you all non-existent readers...I am finally back...

I was asked that day to blog more often now that I'm on my maternity leave (to those not in the know, yes I've given birth). Well, to start off, I don't even have 2 hrs to spare without the little one crying for milk, asking for a change of diaper, asking to be carried, or whatever that his little heart desires. I know blogging takes a shorter time than that but I'm sure you all know that putting thoughts into words takes well, time. -__-

Anyways, I'd like to start off this new life of mine by blogging about my labour. (This entry is especially for me to remember if and when hubby decides to have a No. 2 and I need to have an excuse to refuse).

It all started on the morning of 7 May 2008. We slept at 12.30 that night having been up doing things that you guys wouldn't want to know. I woke up at 2.30 in the morning feeling wet and wondering why the hell I couldnt control my bladder. Turns out my waterbag burst and with blood, no less. Thank God I didn't make a mess on the bed. Woke Najib up and told him its time to go to the hospital. Of course, he, of all people, didn't believe me. He asked me if i'm sure and kept asking how I know that stuff was my amniotic fluid. I swear if I was calmer, that wet pad would have gone flying to his sleepyhead.

Fast forward to 3.30am. (Yes I actually waited an hour because I didn't want to cause any false alarm). Amniotic fluid still leaking, I msged my gynae telling him of situation. Of course he didn't reply because I'm pretty sure though he's paid big bucks to look down a woman's nether regions, he wouldn't and couldn't be working at 3.30 in the morning. So yes, smart me decided to call him instead after not getting a response to the sms. After talking to the gynae for a good 20seconds and asking if I should proceed to the hospital now, he asked me who I was. No, Dr Loke, I don't blame you. In all his sleepy state, he said to go to the hospital (Not sure if he still know who I was by the time we hung up though).

So we trotted off sleepily to the hospital at 4.30am while the whole world still sleeps.

I was told by the nurse on night duty that my contractions are coming every 4 minutes and my cervix has dilated by 3.5cm. I was of course, quite glad because until then, my contractions were bearable and if labour was anything like that, I was sure everything would be a breeze. So I happily called my parents at 6.30 to inform them I was already in the labour ward and I even managed to msg my cousin at 9plus to disturb her.

And of course I was wrong about the labour.

By 10am, my cervix opened to only 4 freaking cm. Yes, 6 hours for the cervix to open up by a mere .5cm. Well done, rabs. So of course they had to put me on drip right? Right. And that was when it all started.

I don't want to scare any of you non-pregnant readers but the pain, *shakes head* was in short, SAKIT GILLLLER. My colleagues told me before that it'd feel like menstrual pain x 10 but I guess they all lied. If they had said it would be menstrual pain x 100 I'd prolly have believed them. Anyway my cervix dilated to 10cm at around 1pm when I was told that I can start pushing. That was another hard work. It was like trying to shit a piece of wood.

I was in and out of consciousness but I could pretty much hear all the voices around me. The little one didn't want to come out so we had to coax him out using forceps. Najib said the forceps was as big as his arm. I was quite glad that I didn't open my eyes because if I did, I'd probably have fainted and they would have to cut me open to take Aqeel out.

The fruit of my labour (pun intended) finally made his appearance at 1:54pm. And the mummy, all sore and aching, is still recovering...

2008-04-26T16:46:00.000-07:00

Two more weeks before I reach my 40th week.

I wonder how he will make his appearance.

Ya Allah - please make it an easy one for me...

2008-04-10T22:38:00.000-07:00

Nadzy, these are for you. :)

No, thats not a ball underneath my top.

Uhuh. One. More. Month.

2008-04-08T07:35:00.000-07:00

I dreamt last night that I went into labour.

It was so surreal and Najib was nowhere near me.

I. is.scared.

This is worst then marriage jitters.

H-E-L-P. :(

2008-03-29T16:54:00.000-07:00

*looks at last post*

My GAWD! That was in Jan??? Its already going to be Apr in two days time. And the many friends who've been sitting under the stars with popcorn waiting patiently and watching this space have left me all alone. Sigh..

Ok so its no longer a secret. The mysterious thing who joined the family on 19 Jan 08 is actually our Black Mitsubishi Lancer EX. So I couldnt find time to take a picture of it. (R.Y.T.E) Well actually I did but it isn't nice enough to be put up so until I really find the time to take a nice picture (with najib posing at the side like the always obligatory hubby), I WILL put it up one day.

I have so many things to blurt out. About pregnancy. About work. About how I miss my friends at Drew. :(

Do you guys know that i'm so huge and fat now that I can't really button up my nice2 clothes anymore? OH - I'm a happy woman if I can wake up from bed in 2 minutes flat (I have to toss and turn first, make sure the backache is a little more bearable, then sit up first before putting my feet on the ground and finally stand up). Oh and not forgetting the swollen feet. AND the crazy looking stretch marks which looks like some S&M had been going on (which hadnt because...well because huge and fat is not a turn-on). Almost everyone who sees me thinks i'm just waiting for little Aqeel to pop out anytime now when i'm actually not due until MAY. Well, may is not that far anyway come to think of it. I've bought almost everything that i think i need (read: pampers, bottles, breast pump, baby wipes, tub, shampoo, oil and of cos, THAT baby bag that i just have to get!). So pregnancy wise, i'm just waiting for that day where the mother of all contractions (i've been having the baby ones by the way) will come gushing and take control of all my emotions. I hope I get out of labour safely and won't make a mess out of that hospital bed. Yucks.

WORK. I've been truly busy at work. It gets so bad that now I go to the office *proudly* at 7am everyday so that I have that extra 2 hours to do my nitty gritty. Fine - I actually made najib send me to work first before he goes to work because I can't walk that much anymore (i'm now fat and huge remember?) but the fact that I made the extra effort to wake up at 5.30 instead of 7am makes a huge difference. Who said I wasn't training for Aqeel's arrival? Hmmpt! Anyway, it's only been a week of reaching the office at 7am so hopefully I can keep it up until that day comes when I go on my 3 months long leave...

DREW. What can I say. I miss my bitches. Love you all. Hope to see u girls at moon's sis in law's wedding tomorrow. :) And then we can have our group hug with a little tummy in the way...Hehe..

2008-01-16T22:43:00.000-08:00

Somebody new is joining the family.

Somebody dark and mysterious.

Watch this space.

:)

2007-12-16T13:13:00.000-08:00

New order for the weekday (and probably for the rest of the months until baby arrives):

Wake Up
Psp
Bathe
Psp in bus and train
Work
Psp after lunchtime
Work
Psp on the way home
Dinner
Psp
Sleep

Thanks for the present hubby. Its a nice surprise. But don't blame me if I stop cooking.

P.s: Ok, its my turn already!!!!!

2007-12-09T10:50:00.000-08:00

U mean its December already?!

Time sure passes fast.

December is a month for weddings and everytime I go to one, I was transported back to the time I got married.

I want to get married again, can?

2007-11-12T23:38:00.000-08:00

*clears cobwebs*

And then the husband turned 30 on 8th November and we both turned 1 as a married couple on 11th November.

No getaways, no romantic candlelight/by the beach dinners, no surprise parties, HELL not even a birthday cake for the birthday boy!!! What the @#$!!!~ See? People DO change when they get married!

Ok ok, so I did get him a ring (to fit that proper ring finger because the wedding ring was too big to be worn on the left side) from Lee Hwa which SO didnt cost any hole in my pockets (READ: sapa2 nak belikan hubby/bf cincin, sila ke Lee Hwa and ask to see their male collection - no, not their salesmen). And yes, I did get him those soccer shoes and that Adidas top, so cukuplah iye...me being the nice wife of course didnt ask for anything in return except for that cheap Charles & Keith bag and that not-so-expensive top from Jelita to wear to his D&D...so all's fair in love and war. Heh.

OH - we did write cards for each other, contents of which shouldn't and can't be spilled here. Not because they are THAT mushy, but they might just make me cry.

Trust me, this first year of marriage is one hell of a journey. But we enjoyed it nevertheless. In his own words "I wouldn't have it any other way..." Me too, darling... Me too. :)

2007-10-14T21:37:00.001-07:00

From the ever-growing Mustapha family, SELAMAT HARI RAYA, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN!

2007-10-07T20:49:00.000-07:00

Wooooot!~ And so, with the addition of a very dear friend's news of her pregnancy, there are currently 6 of us now expecting! And they are:

1. Farah giving birth in December;
2. Salmi giving birth in January;
3. Su giving birth in March;
4. Azean giving birth in April;
5. Me giving birth in May; and
6. Murni giving birth in June.

*Month subject to change, of course but hey! Its a cause for celebration! To all the hot mamas, take care and see u girls soon! =D

2007-09-22T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hello people, how have you guys been? If you ask me, I've been feeling unwell, thank you. I'm feeling nauseous and my best friends now are mr toilet bowl and mr sink (whichever is nearer). All thanks to my little 7.44mm friend inside me. Yes, baby is only 7.44mm and already doing things only najib can do at times - quicken my heartbeat, increase my body temperature, make my palms sweaty, suck my blood.. -____-

I went to see Dr Loke today and he managed to get baby on screen. Of course at the moment he looks like a little bean so if you'd like to see how he looks like, I say go and grab a bean in the kitchen and stare at it. Ah sama ah. The only diff is the heartbeat. Its so nice to know baby's heartbeat is thumping strong and he is in the right position (ie in the uterus). Well done, Najib. U shoot very well. Snorts. Anyway, my EDD is 13 May 2008. There goes all hope of going into labour on Labour's Day. =p

For avoidance of all doubts, nope, I don't know the sex of the baby yet. All references to the male species might change in future. Harap maklum.

On a different note, Happy Birthday to mak dearest today. May you be blessed with all the good things in life. Semoga dipanjangkan umur dan dimurahkan rezeki, insyallah. We love you mak!! :)

2007-09-11T23:15:00.000-07:00

And then all of a sudden, EVERYTHING changes.

2007-09-05T21:27:00.000-07:00

Went to the Yellow Ribbon Walk & Fair last Sunday, 2 September. No tear-jerking songs by Abang Andy & Friends, no tours around the prison, definitely no good food served by botak waiters. Only sweet perspiration, senget tudung and make-up cair. -_____-

Reben takda besar lagi kepe?

Walking the walk.

Pretty me and pretty humairah. :)

2007-09-05T10:24:00.000-07:00

I'm blogging from office and that in itself, is something worth blogging about!!! :P

Have a good Wednesday, people!

2007-08-29T21:31:00.000-07:00

For the records, I'm not pregnant (yet). I'm just fat, ok???!!!!

Don't worry, don't fret, if ever I get pregnant, you'll ALL hear from me. Akan ku beritahu satu Singapura (plus relatives over in KL and other ulu parts of Malaysia) that i'm expecting.

In the meantime, please hold your hands. And mine too because I might just chuck one smelly baby sock up your nostril.

Bingit tau - sebelom kawin tanya bila nak kawin. Bila dah kawin tanya bila nak ada anak. Bila da ada anak tanya bila nak ada anak lagi. Bila dah ada anak lagi tanya bila nak ada anak lagi lagi. Eh - give me a break lah...

Ok dah. Tu je aku nak cakap.

2007-08-26T19:50:00.000-07:00

Most of the time, realisation hits you when a disaster happens. A person dies and you realise you didn't say I LOVE YOU enough to the people you love. In fact you are nicer to your colleagues than to your own family members. You see a beggar on the street and you realise that other people's problems are bigger than your own, and you make a mental note never to say I-have-nothing-to-wear-to-work ever again. AND waste food. AND keep changing your mobile phones. AND do excessive shopping. Which I've been guiltily doing and now, I am dead broke.

Sigh.

I just don't understand (myself). I changed jobs three months ago and got a better salary but yet I still don't have enough at the end of the month. WHAT THE HELL is wrong with ME!!!!???

THATS IT! I'm going on a wallet-diet. I shall not buy unnecessary stuffs ever again. I'm setting aside $100 for food a month, $150 for transport and only $200 for shopping. The rest goes into bills/parents/insurance/household/savings. Gee...at this rate, i'll probably only save $50 a month. :( That means 20,000 months before I become a millionaire. How liddat??

2007-08-25T11:37:00.000-07:00

Let's see now...hubby aint home (recalled to work for cell checks, i believe), the tv is showing crappy programmes, I haven't bathe, the toilet needs cleaning, the house needs vacuuming and er...I'm happily blogging. FUN kan???!!! Snorts..

Maybe i'll move my lazy ass once Kelis stops singing Lil' Star. Or I can just continue blog-hopping and surfing for Zachary Quinto. Sigh. Decisions..decisions..

Do you know his birthday falls on June 2nd??? That's exactly one month one day before my birthday!! OH - What a coincidence! We're so meant for each other...*swoons* -____-

To the people who are organising the cast of Heroes to come to Singapore, SHAME ON YOU!!! Tell me - who'd want to see them without SYLAR?? And without the PETRELLI brothers?? Tsk..such a disappointment..

To Wentworth - don't worry, u're still my No. 1. No matter what others say about you, honey.

2007-08-19T23:56:00.000-07:00

About time I upload some pics from that National Day wedding and that trip to Krabi (pity I didn't get to see Spongebob and Patrick) -____-

*The radiant bride*

*Pretty couple with Amin's mum*

Congratulations to Salmah (or more affectionately known to me as CHABS) and Amin. Semoga dikurniakan anak yang soleh dan solehah (confirm punye since mak bapak ustazah and ustaz pe). Alhamdulillah, skarang kalau ada gatherings we can always count on Amin to be the Imam..hurhur..

Ok now to a more exciting topic: KRABI!!! Krabi was fun la! We took this 4 island tour via speed boat and it was GRRRREAT!!! Muka kasi kena sun semua and now we're paying the price..we both look like we're suffering from some skin disease!! Proof:

Here are some more pics from the trip. Due to personal reasons, there are absolutely no pics of me. Heh. Faham2 aje lah. :D

On the way to Krabi. Isn't it just absolutely pretty??

*Chicken Island* - an island to remember those chickens by... Salute!~

From the speedboat..

I bet those elephants in Singapore can't do this!

Bb looking silly on the ATV.

Doing the white water rafting *pic is purposely blurred* A must-try for those going to Krabi. The men do the paddling, the girls do the shouting. Sungguh seronok! :)

Watching the sunset. Cannot beat Bali's Jimbaran Bay but nevertheless, beautiful!

Ok dah penat. Gonna catch Football now. Check: Liverpool 1, Chelsea 0. Bb just did a YESS! and woke up the neighbours. Like whats new.

2007-07-02T23:56:00.000-07:00

I got a call from hubby earlier asking me to come back on my own. No reasons given but I can pretty much guess. He's cooking dinner!! WHOA!!

Thanks bbku for the wonderful birthday dinner! Love you loads! :)

2007-06-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

Its the first year I'm spending my birthday with a husband and I got my prezzie earlier than expected.

I already knew what he was getting me - a new pair of sunglasses! Simply because he hates my current one. Said it was too big for me. Who's complaining ryte? =D

Anyway dahling, lain kali kalau nak sembunyikkan benda, please cover your tracks. Takda surprise langsung!!

2007-06-09T05:16:00.000-07:00

A friend was mentioned in the news yesternite. And it came as a shocker. Abdul Basheer or more affectionately known as AB while he was at Drew, was arrested last Feb by the Internal Security Department. He was apparently making plans to join and fight with the Talibans in Afghanistan.

I knew AB as the tall indian muslim who always come to talk to the lawyers I was working for previously. Our relationship was a hello-hi-bye-(smiley) one. Until his last day of pupillage. He emailed me asking if I was single. And after a few more emails, he came over to talk to me. He passed me his friend's picture and I went out with AB's friend for a couple of years.

Because of AB's efforts, I'm married to Najib now.

Semoga Allah swt tunjukkan dia kepada jalan yang benar. Amin.

I'm shagged. Not from 3hours of messing the bed together with hubby (i wish) but from a terribly disturbed sleep. Yesterday we had a trip to the Singapore Zoo thanks to ESS (yelah, that time nak pegi ngan Drew family tak dapat pe! *still sore*). Not that we had loads of fun but I'm glad I managed to drag Nadzy, Huda and Moon along. Thank you girls for sparing 5 hours with me albeit all that starings from the mat motors and the lorry drivers for the dangerous ala tokyo drift-driving (looks at Huda) and the wrong directions given (looks at myself). Hurhur..That sure was fun - hanging on to our dear seats...

Here's a pic of Nadzy and me posing with the ESS poster.

Anyway, me and Najib decided to catch Pirates of the Carribean at night. All the earlier showtimes were jam-packed so being the brave lovebirds, we thought Hey! Let't catch the midnight show! Guess what. We both fell asleep once the show starts. Kental bacin betol! Nasib baik bukan aku yang bayar. Tsk. I woke up once to catch Johnny Depp's heavily eyelined eyes staring at me and another time to see Najib sleeping like a log. Then I went back to sleep and woke up when the lights were on and everybody was leaving. That was a waste of time and money (Najib's). Somebody please pass me the DVD when its out. Pirated Pirates pun jadilah.

And so, we reached home at 4.30am and I slept till 12noon. That didn't help cos now i'm freaking sleepy and it's only 9.45pm. Bantal busuk, here i come!

It's been a while since I last blogged. What? Six months at least? I remembered the last time i posted something was a day before my wedding. So yeah, its been quite a while. I'm now working at a new place - a cool one at that. I get to watch sports all day long, and I get to see Andy Penders at least once a week. In fact, he showed me his best asset the other day. I got to see his ass! Well, its all covered la but who's complaining right? :)

Anyway, to start off, I'd like to say thanks to my friends when I was still at Drew. My lovely darlings - people whom I see every single day and who made my life there a beautiful one. They kept my sanity and prevented me from burning the company down. To Huda, thank you so much for actually opening this blog account for me. If not for you, I wouldn't be able to post this now. To Nadzy and Moon, thanks for the constant support and the buggings to Huda to do this for me. I'm now a certified lazy bugger who gets things done through her great friends. *peace* I love you guys...and I miss you all so much only God knows!

I've vowed to post something at least once a week so hopefully I'll be able to keep this up. Till the next post, take care peeps!
