Sushi King - Literally Eat Til U Drop

no, we didnt go anywhere for the weekend

we woke up and still think there's no perfect place nearby to go for the weekend

so...we've decided!!

to just go to OneUtama AS USUAL..

but..this time to eat till we drop

we planned to just stop by any stall or any eating place and grab something

our first stop was 

SUSHI KING!!

we were sooo starving at that time

we thought we only picked few of the sushis on the belt as an appetiser before the main course came

 butt..before we knew it we were already burrping with theeesee..

just grab while you can..

cant stop smiling...

as the main course came, we forced ourselves to finish them
and as for the drinks, this ginger soda is a must
sooo relieving as it goes down the throat..

we really had fun

real fun

(fun is when u know u can order your favourite meal as much as u want)

next thing we knew, we couldnt even drag our feet around the mall

we stopped on one of the bench

and decided to just go back and have a nap..

soo much of konon2 wanna eat alll we can.. 

(because we estimated to spend as much as the price of a hotel room for food that day)

*oh no pics of the real food as they went straight into our mouths!

Tidur Tak Lena...

eversince i laid my eyes on them @TheCurve the other day..

i couldnt sleep well..

i need to have them..

yes, it's a dying need...

bole tak sayang?

pleeasee...

but the risk is..once i start online shopping again, there'll be no end la..

My Late Nenek's Tudung...

I donno how did i end up taking Arwah Nenek's tudung..

but i like the colour!

Waterplant

My childhood dream..

No i'm not advertising this.. But like no other advertisement, it caught my attention, seriously..

But spending RM170 for temporary fun is not in our plan, just yet ..

But Aisyah laughed out loud on the notification..

'Sarah Awang Dahlan commented on the photo...'

Burrppp..

  

the first thing the consultant asked me on the first day of my MOship was..

'have u got this badge?'

apparently this hospital is soo serious about breasfeeding

(not that others didnt)

but as they are accredited for the breastfeeding friendly hospital thing, they have to really maintain their reputation

 and as per KKM's guideline, they have to offer 20-hour Lactation Course!!

previously i couldnt get myself to think what on earth is possible to be taught in 20hours - 3-day course!

but omg, there's a lot!!

they even have the pre and post course exam..

and i'm scheduled for the course this week

so i was really looking forward to it

but it was cancelled :(

Overloaddd

Kick start!

New Zealand Natural.. Reminiscing The Good Old Days..

never before i stopped at the NewZealandNatural booth in Malaysia

maybe i was soo blinded by BubbleTeas until the maleic acid issues

and today for the first time, licking away the best ice cream ever

even Paih cant stop repeating 'sedapnyee sayang...sedapnyeee'

and of course we couldnt even stop ourselves to capture the scene pon

as the creamy icecream reached my tastebuds, 

all the scenes when i savour them in Aussie came back

i remembered vividly my shopping trips would never be complete without having these

Oriental Spaghetti

 

this might be euww for someone..

but this is heaven for someone else

now i'm going economics..thus self facial at home

i have my Paih to do this 'korek2' whiteheads thingy

why do i decide to stop going for facials for the time being?

firstly, we should ask, did few thousands that i spent for the past few years on facial make any difference? 

 if it did make some of the pores smaller, did it make any difference to my life?

yes it did make a lot of difference for me personally

but, it will make bigger difference if the amounts saved enables me to get a new house

or getting myself the interiors that i've dreamed about

therefore, i'm training my heart to be stronger and firm to myself

from Clinique, Estee Lauder, Shiseido to Neutrogena, Nano White

redha..dan pasrah..

eventho it's hard

but maybe..one find day this year,

if i'm serious enough to do locum,

i might get myself SKII

 

bil astro dah sampai...

  

lately takde movie best kat cinema

so we ended up browsing through the Astro Movies..

the first one 

 ANUGERAH DENDAM YANG TERINDAH

memang sangat teringin nak tgk movie nih asalnya

sebab iklan die sangat catchy

macam sweet meruntun jiwa..

namun sangat kecewa semasa menontonnya dari awal hingga akhir

sebab kisah kesedihan je

hero dan heroin tak kawin pon

heroin siap mengandungkan anak perogol

isk, kecewa sangat

iklan tu die tunjuk mase dialog2 sweet je

dah la pegi Aussie..

 

the second movie plak

WARM BODIES

 movie nih lagi laaa mengarut

bandar tu kene wabak ape ntah sampai jadi zombie

pastu ade plak makhluk yang makan manusia

rupe2nye berdasarkan novel

dan dah two consecutive weekends pegi usha tgk movies takde yang best

duduk rumah je la masuk selimut depan tv..

 

 

Beauty Sleep

Orang kata your day will be influenced by your first reaction after u wake up in the morning

means.

kalo bangun pagi tu terus SENYUM dan CERIA,

sepanjang hari lah akan SENYUM dan CERIA

kalo bangun pagi tu GRUMPY,

sepanjang hari lah kite akan GRUMPY

omaigod..the search for a short and sweet weekend escape is killing me

instead of wanna just to chill around, i end up scratching my head looking for the perfect one

someone suggested Lumut..that sounds nice - just 3 hours away

but look at this options

 

i want that Pangkor Laut Resort..but look at the price

ok fine, i think i dont need that luxurious escape anyway

live with what u earn, i know

but look at this review for something that we can afford

 

and that kind of review isnt for the hotel with the rate of 100++ per night pon

(if such rate still does exist now la)

Malam-malam minggu..

the awaited weekend tiba jua 

no need to think about oncall (i'll be oncall free for the whole week)

usual activities - dine out with siblings or shopping or sleeping

and tonight Abang suggested Ayam Penyet Ria in Sunway

seriously i'm soo outdated

never tried this Ayam Penyet Ria pon eventho the hype about ayam penyets are already around for last few years

 previously my impression about ayam penyet is just ayam goreng kering with plain bland soup

but this time..i'm sooo wrong

the Empal Penyet was sooo yummy

soo soft and the taste are complete once it's inside ur mouth

i was wondering how do they marinate and cook them

do they slow-cook it first? or is it with pressure cooker?

then grill them or fry them?

i have nooo idea!

 

 

and omaigod, i've been trying the wrong ayam/empal penyet all this while

seriously..

this is the real one..

serious business i tell u..

 

the plain fried tauhu pon superb...no weird bitter aftertaste

sometimes it feels as if u r eating very tender part of fried chicken

 

and Umar was as charming as always

 

 

and now he cant stop being super excited about almost everything around him

especially with the presence of her favourite sweet aunty - ME :)

hehe

there goes alll my attempt for a good diet

couldnt resist laa

and i will always say 'that's ok, only this time..'

and the same story and same struggle everyday

 

Shine Your Way

yeaayyy!!! (again!)

my first to consume! 

but the OsteMatrix is for Mummy..

Adik kata Ma's knee pain significantly improved after trying it

i donno if there's actually any direct relation or not

because it's basically a calcium supplement

and the knee pain that they suffers from are most likely is Osteoarhtritis

which involves the wear-and-tear of the cartilage in their joint

unless the pain is contributed by Osteoporotic changes of their bone, i couldnt see Calcium's role in it

but whatever it is, the pain reduced!

i am thinking to upgrade the supplement for Mummy - Advanced Joint Care 

but it's quite pricey...so let's see how the OsteMatrix works first

and i'm sooo excited to get that mini pillbox..

thanks Ti..

Next search..

i saw this while browsing through the stalls at work

tatau pon she's publishing the continuation of her book

waah, must have!! 

(eventho i havent even finished the first one - Bukan Sekadar Resepi)

but i'm ambitious like that

i sometimes buy books just because i thought it would look nice on my shelves :)

but this one is surely a great read..

santai dan bermakna..

no, as it's titled, it's not only recipes..
the sharing of her thought and experiences make us appreciate all the little things more
and yes of course i've tried one of the recipe la (yes ONE, for now)
the Rendang! yummy!!

Paih, jom, bookshop jom!

One For All, All For One..

Kalo macam ni lame2 saya akan sama licin la ngan Paih..

Masalahnye adelah, ade tak satu shampoo yg bole tackle semua masalah..?

Saya suka Dove..sebab botol cantik..hehe..tp nak pilih jenis ape? Kalo pilih untuk dandruff, terase nak beli anti-hairfall..kalo beli anti-hairfall terase nak yg straight and silky...so in the end semua pon tak kena..

I am missing this little guy..

And now i have two little guys to be missed.. Eh no, three laa kalo include the not-so-little Paih..

And Aisyah hasnt been doing a good job in keeping is updated about Luqman's development..u guys cannot beat me la.. I dulu update u guys psl Umar every hour kott...

But i will never forget u..

life and living..

i quoted Maya Angelou last night..

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'

 but i somehow was knocked by my friend who quoted Churchill..

we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give..

there's so much negativities in the first quote, and i hate myself for that..
but i guess in my career, i should hold onto Churchill's quote tighter.. the meaning is so deep..

but what have i done and gave?
think again, it came back to the question of  'our niat'..
so many things to ponder and muhasabah..

this weekend i wont be oncall
and he wont be outstation

so i am now searching hi and lo for an idea for a getaway
it should be somewhere sweet but affordable

any ideas?
i did google 'honeymoon ideas in malaysia'
but nope, nothing good came out..

i am lookingn for somewhere upnorth
Penang?
Perak?

*thinking and thinking*

How do i start?

after one and a half years..

sorry blogspot, i've abandoned u..

but i sorely missed u..

i guess i passed the phase

i passed the quarter-life crisis

(if  such thing does really exist)

yes i noticed i was in that phase last 2 yrs

and now i am back and SOARING!!

my one-and-a-half-year of life can be retrieved from
sharahaila.tumblr.com

and now how do i madukan u guys?

 

My Dreams..

bekerja mmg memerlukan kesabaran yg amat tinggi

ketahanan mental

bukan setakat utk tahu ilmu

itu adelah the least challenging..

tp cubaan2 lain termasukla tekanan masa, tekanan bos2,

daaan tekanan menyampah dgn parents2 yg pelbagai peel

saye nyaaampah sgt ngan parents yg bajet lg tau jaga anak

ok, saye tau saye takde anak lg..

tp kalo tanak dgr ckp dokter, tayah dtg jumpe dokter ok!

plg tak suke duk ward 1TB sbb budak2 kat situ separa sihat

and setiap hari akan ada case yg parents nak mintak bawak anak balik walaupon takle discharge lg

tak best sbb ward tuh takde MO

so ia sangat menyusahkan jika keje kite ini bertambah hanya utk melayan parents yg poyo2 dan berlagak 'saya tak kira, saya nak bawak anak saya balik jugak..saya tanggung sendiri la risiko'

siap ada yg kata 'saye tahu laa nak jaga anak kuning cam mane..saye dah ade ramai anak'

heellooo, mmgla sume budak akan kuning

tp tak sume budak akan jd kuning yg merbahaya

dah kalo anak ko yg kali ni sampai kene masuk spital, maksudnye mmg kene masuk laaa

takdenye kami sesuka hati sahaja nak tambah2 keje nak tambah patient dlm ward kalo tak perlu kan

siap ade sorg bapak tuh ckp 'dokter, kuning nih banyak cara nk berubat, dokter jgn igt dokter sorg je tau cara..kami nk berubat cara kampung..dulu ore2 jemur jah anak kuning'

helllooo, dulu ozon tak nipis ok!!

and kalo dah tahap tinggi kene phototherapy tu maknenye kene duk spital la kan

takpela ibu ibu bapak bapak yg kadang2 hanya pk diri sendiri

pk diri sendiri malas nak ulang alik spital

pk diri sendiri malas nk nunggu kat spital

pk diri sendiri tak tahan berjauhan ngan anak

cube la ko pk anak ko tuh mmg sakit and perlu rawatan yg terbaik

nyampah ok!!

Malang Tak Berbau

Seawal 5 pagi hari Ahad tanggal 22 Januari 2012,

kami dikejutkan awal2 pagi kerana kejutan yg amat menyedihkan

amat memilukan

adik ketuk2 bilik saye n tanye

'kak lalah, abe ih ade tak? die kuar bawak kete mak ke?'

saye terbangun dengan terkejutnye

rupa2nya kereta mami sudah tiada di halaman rumah

sgt speechless!

kunci rumah satu bunch and kunci My Jazz pon tiada!!

amat terkejut

kerana rumah tidak bersepah2 pon

tidak seperti disepah2kan oleh PENCURI laknatullah

kemudian saye terperasan pintu kat verandah belakang tak berkunci

mmg lg la speechless mase tuh sbb pk kecuaian sendiri

namun bile diingatkan balik, mmg Baba dah kunci pintu tuh

and kami cek2 tingkap ditepinya, terdapat kesan cungkil2

aaaaaa tertekannyaaa!!

it was a depressing robbery!!

my mami's CAR!!!

it's not even 2 yrs old yet

and it's not the 1st time..

2 yrs ago..the same thing happened to our Vios

and now, it's our Altis

kami sangat2 diselubungi ketakutan kerana merasakan penjahat laknat itu akan bole datang bile2 masa sahaja kerana the whole bunch of kunci rumah ada dgn die..

tp kitorg dh tukar sume padlock and tambah kunci2 lain dh..

tp still, the trauma is still around..

sgt sgt trauma n paranoid..

saya and paih sgt2 la cuak skrg kerana seperti menanti saat penjahat itu datang lg and try kete kami pule..nauzubillah...

the whole set of lock system sgt mahal..more than RM2k..

tak mampu lg skrg nih..

so skrg hanya tambah steering lock and tambah alarm system/security system

sedih sgt2 bile pk kan sume nih...

dahla mami skrg pokai gakla sbb kenduri anak-anak tak putus-putus..

so mmg agak kesempitan

tp sbnrnye perasaan takut lebih dr perasaan sedih la

sbb mlm tuh mmg ramai org kat rumah

sbb beya n nazri pon dh pulang

so luar rumah tuh kereta mmg penuh

so die patut tahu tgh full house

but he still took the risk

so die nih mcm jenis berani apa saja la kan

and that night adik slept at about 2 am

and i slept quite late too

and didnt hear a thing!

buutt..

the scary part is..

we actually did hear something..

at about 11.30pm-12am..me, adik n esyah were upstairs

dekat ruang tamu atas nih

and bunyi2 kat pintu/tingkap bawah

we were not sure sape..

and we thought it might be sape2 la kan sbb tgh ramai kan dlm rumah

but it's kinda weird la..sbb mcm bunyi skit2 camtuh...

but kitorg mcm ignore je sbb mmg i pk that's baba

and adik/esyah pk it's beya/nazri

so...i now think...that sound was probably that laknatullah's sound

berani kan die..

writing this pon dh cukup scare me..

he took my handbag with all the worldly treasures in it..

and took adik's laptop..

and adik's phone..

hmm bile dh nk jadi kan,,mmg terjadi..

cubaan Allah...

selama2 ini tak pernah Paih tinggalkan kunci kat luar bilik...

but that night camane ntah paih tinggal je atas almari kat tempat kunci2 lain

and selama nih saya tak pnah tinggal handbag luar bilik..

tp mlm tu saye tertinggal handbag kat ruang tamu atas depan tv..

they took our things..

and left us with only these..

jumpe kat veranda blakang rumah..

and he took paih's sliper jepon..

and left his on the tembok...

(die masuk pintu blakang and kuar pintu depan, so main rembat je sliper paih)

love letter

one day paih mms'ed me this pic

i thot it's just a photo of his fav sight

the pic in the phone looks so small that i didnt even think it's special

after a few weeks then only i knew he's trying to be sweet by sending hidden msg from the titles of songs he was listening

then i tried to be sweet too :p by capturing the pic of song titled 'kau kekasihku' 

Before...

loook look at my muscle and fat of my arms..

i've stopped weighing myself since like 5 months ago

seriously!

i'm sooo in denial

i'm sooo stressed with this

but..Ya Allah, let this be the 'before' picture of me

i really wanna trim off some of the extras

the weird thing is, even though i ate a lot,

really A LOT!, but i've always ate that much previously

why now they became the accessories?

and..i'm not that 'sitting around goyang kaki' at work

we rarely could even sit!!

i walked like almost all day long - all day means can be up to 24 hours..

whyyyy whyy even that cant burn up all the extra calories?

soo we've decided to invest on something

i cerewet..nak bli threadmill kene bli tv..

sbb tanak bosan mase tgh lari..

so akhirnye we've turned the living room upstairs into our 'little penthouse'

it's very convenient

but..will the work-out be effective if...

i ate NASI at 12mn then went to sleep straight away (it happened all the time)

i ate 2bungkus of nasi for lunch (it happend most of the time)

i indulged in chocolate A BAR at one go (i try to make it not happen, but failed)

all these unhealthy lifestyles cant be helped anymore

i've always find good excuses to make it sounds fair ;p

i ate at 12mn after work because i cant go to sleep with perut kosong, i'll be sedih with perut kosong

i ate 2 bungkus of nasi with extra kuih muih to get enegy for next task, so that i can be more active to run here and there at work

i ate chocolates because i like it and i said that i dont wanna be sad by abstaining myself from the pleasure of life (yes, choc is one of the pleasure of life)..

but..at times i cant even look at the person in the mirror..

it's too depressing :(

seriously depressed with my weight..

favourite sight



saye sgt suke tgk ini

serious tatau nape, the sight of towel collections sgt menenangkan bg saye

ini saye melipat baju kat umah mami

2minggu tak lipat baju hehehe :p

so bertimbun2 la segala kain-main

towels nih sume mami punyee

saye masih menumpang

tp saye belom suke tgk towel nih sume dlm lemari tuh

sbb kedudukan die sgt tinggi

and bile campo2 org lain punye lipatan mcm tak cantik plak kan

kene sorg je lipat sume towels tuh

indahnyeeeee...

bahagianyeeee...

The Girl in The Past

as i went through all my boxes and bags,

i realised there's soooo much memories to be just ignored and left wilting away under the stairs or under other bunches of worldly possessions that used to be part of us

then another dream sparked!

hehe

i think..i need to talk paih into buying us a nice white/solid wood cupboard

or display cabinets

so that i can rearranged my life on the shelves

seriously, i cant just let all my cute flowery notebooks, souvenirs and what not, dumped there

ok, 1stly, where should we start our search?

i dont wanna try the Ghazali Perabot or anything like that

hmm, maybe i shud try the kedai cine with the 2nd hand furniture from singapore

their woods are very solid and smart

the other day we went to search for something to put our new TV on

there's this one nice long cabinets with unique small drawers

it's pinewoood!

but the only think that's holding us is it's too tegap to be transferred to our 'penthouse'

tak mampu kot org nak angkat melepasi selekoh kat tangga umah tuh

so we passed! :(

but this time i'll start searching more seriously

Buuuulaaan Madu di Awan Biru..

setiap hari pulang ke rumah duk borak2 ngan paih mesti sentiasa pk pasal nak g jln2 bercinta di tempat yg tayah pk keje langsung..
after months...akhirnye saye dpt amik cuti yg sesuai dan selari dengan cuti paih
Akhirnye kan!
nak pegi jauh2 pon takle nk komited awal2 beli tiket kan sbb takut tibe2 saye tak dpt cuti plak
nak g terlalu mewah sgt plak bukan kaye sgt
then one night paih betol2 nekad utk book je mane2 hotel yg die jumpe
so we booked Kampung Air Waterchalet!
mmg best sgt sgt sgt!
we should go for honeymoon more often...
that's why saye sgt berharap kami akan dimurahkan rezeki agar dpt pegi bercuti lg :)
