home shweet home

friends were asking photos of our home shweet home...
will post new photos bila semua dah 'complete'

the must copy built-in wardrobe

the kitchen

the dining area

the living area - we suspect it was previously another room

the 'corridor' to the one and only room on the left and toilet up-front

the toilet yg sgt cantik with the shower, tub and the 'bank' on the right

lesson learn today

kalau naik bas...jgn sesekali berangan
kalau ter'miss' your stop
jenuh la nak menapak ke umah
dah la sorang2
kelam2 plak tuh
dia punyer sejuk jgn la nak kata
dah plak tuh ombak dok bunyi kuat





sungguh menakutkan

i used to have problem folding my fitted sheet

How to fold a fitted sheet?

here in oz land,the bedsheet set would include both fitted and flat sheet...why erk?
gosh! i have 4 or is it 5 chapters of negotiation skills to cover by tuesday 6pm
adios

review it critically...erk?

1st i'm having problem to come up with a 1000 words of critical review from two very long-boring article

and now i'm having the final problem to slash it down by a few hundreds words so that i can make my introduction. yerp...i started my critical review by doin the body and conclusion para first coz i believe those are the most important marking area.

and i've been noticing for few years now that ideas would only come flushing down only at the very last minute before submission....be it worl-related or school-related.
and i just hated it becoz now i cant follow mr evil deary whose having his own sweet lovely time at eastgarden.







kijam

big big smile

yesterday, i was trying to get some contact details of the officer in-charge of my allowance frm a dear friend. just wanna confirm with them that the balance will be credited to my account this october not later. before drafting an email to him, both of us went to eastgarden (again!) to do some grocery. and tadaaaaa......elauns dah masuk...Alhamdullillah. terus akak beli webcam...hahahah

kalau boleh nak celebrate this weekend...nak gi jenjalan...but too bad i have the critical review due on monday and exam on tuesday. so pre-celebrate hr ni kat taste of thai....nyum nyum nyum



-photos updated-the best of all....chicken salad....the best part is the sauce. we notice they sell few types of sauce at the restaurant so we thot it is the same one. ingat nak beli but the girl just gave me the recipe...ihihihih...senang jerk

pad thai...or to put it simple....kueytiow goreng

chicken wings

ingat nak carik a cute dining table gak la...ngeh ngeh ngeh
-cute dining table tidak dpt dikesan lg-

counting the days....

i dunno what to blog
nothing much happened...just the usual life goes on routine
when we first arrive sydney, i felt so depressed
maybe becoz we're staying at the m-hall
felt like goin home already
but after moving in to our own place
everything was superb
except that i think its a bit cold down here compared to ran*dwick
maybe sbb dekat ngan beach
when it is very cold...
i cant concentrate on my critical review which is due next monday
and i cant concentrate on my mid-session exam which is next tuesday
.....erk alasan jer tuh


enjoy the foods.....

mr evil very own homemade salad

fruit salad wif ice cream yogurt

pide

indonesian style meehoon goreng (yg tak sedap)

one slice of pizza and kebab plate



and below is the long overdue pixs of what we had during our flight coming here

a gambar worth beribu perkataan :D

goreng cucuq bilis dlm periok

dlm periok pun jadi sedap gak

merenung masa depan

sunset at maroubra beach

and thats our neighbourhood

my lempeng

yesterday afternoon we moved to our new home
last nite i cook dinner after like few months 'tak turun dapur'
i cook lempeng wif kuah sardin becoz we got sick and tired of eating rice everyday for 3 weeks in a row
but my 1st lempeng tak jadik
mr evil said i lost 'my cooking touch'
but i blame it on the hotplate stove
1st time guna babe...mana reti nak bajet panas ke idak frying pan tu
felt so weird tak nampak api kat dapor...call me jakun or what so ever....ku redha
hahahahah...but the remaining lempeng turn out OKAY...just OKAY
td pg gi eastgarden shopping dua trolley lg
bila my beloved sponsor nak masukkan balance duit ni...lamanyer nak tunggu october







mlm ni cucuq bilis plak
nyum nyum

red hot chilli pepper

and this is the view from the front of our apt...well not really front...kena toleh kanan sikit..

so we went shopping last saturday....2 big trolleys....and membuak2...went back to our new home by cab....and here it is...my fav item most of all....all three for just $49 plus 2 years warranty

there are few more things that we need to buy...and forgot to buy...ish kena pi eastgarden lagi...hak hak hak

pls note that now hubby dearie has changed into the evil shopaholics!!

lagi sebulan lagi....

yerp...ada lagi sebulan jer lagi winter nak abis
tak tahan
especially when all my classes finishes at 7.30 pm....sejuknyer masa nak balik
sambil jalan sambil melonjak2....boleh imagine kah

yesterday we went for our shopping spree at ren-ta centre....a rental plus 2nd hand shop
1035 dollars [bongok betol pc ni button shift tak leh pakai] for everything, that is....tv, tv cabinet, sofa, coffee table merangkap meja study merangkap dining table [buat japanese style kononnye...padehal nak save], fridge, queen bed set. cheap kan...boleh la...yg penting jgn darab 3.

hr ni pi eastgarden shopping mall lagi...check out k-mart and big w for some small2 items like periok, cadar etc etc segala jadah tuh....we did a comparison between the two...so its decided big w lagi murah...huhuhu dulu kat mesia tak penah nak compare compare pun...hahahah







tak sabar nak pindah umah

ferustt

we didnt get that two bedroom unit
ada 5 applicants....mmg dah boleh agak dah mesti tak dapat
competition tinggi

but we got another one...tp one bedroom jer la...not that nice frm outside but very modern interior design...better than the 2 bedroom unit
$310 per week....$10 much more expensive than the 2 bedroom unit
bukak pintu jer bustop...toleh kanan je pantai
frust frust frust
tp bersyukur bersyukur bersyukur


still ade yg tak dpt umah lg










esok nak soppping sofa, coffee table merangkap meja makan, tv, peti ais dan apa2 yg perlu lagi

and the search continues....

so the mission to look for a decent place to stay is still on...

when you are carless....is it better to stay in place where it is near to the shops but with very limited public transport or vice versa?




yesterday we found one in evans avenue, eastlakes. one bedroom apt and very fully furnish. i'm telling you...it is very fully furnish. at the price of $260 per week. it is very near to the shopping centre where there's lots of halal butcher and turkish restaurant. however, i have an issue with the transportation. 1 bus every 30 minutes during peak hrs and every 1 hr during off-peak hrs. there is another option but i need to change bus. and the agent sounds very desperate...so desperate agent means no good rite? so immediately reject it and mr evil deary is a bit pissed off...hahahaha.


today, we check out maroubra...the suburb where my sista used to stay 20 yrs ago. and tadaaaaa......he immediately falls in love with it...why? simply becoz of the beach. its a bit further up....but there are 2 or is it 4 buses in every 10 to 15 minutes. and it took me like only 15-20 mins frm the place to my uni. it is a very quiet hilly location with lots of privacy. i hope we can get a place there by this weekend...pls pls pls


p/s: gambor2 diatas adalah tiada kaitan dgn umah2 yg dimaksudkan

my DARLING MAFSO balik kampung

today is the big day
my DARLING MAFSO went back to his hometown for the 1st time
i didnt do anything to make my father change his mind.
but thanks to en ahmad actually, the one that offered the cheapest price for DARLING MAFSO to be with his new friends...yes, thanks to en ahmad becoz suddenly he sold his mobile together with his number and we didnt manage to contact him.

getting ready to go

when i set the time for DARLING MAFSO to be towed away tonite...i never thought about how much CARPUB my DARLING MAFSO would give me.
yes...my DARLING MAFSO is so CARPUB today
from the moment the lorry came
till the moment it went away (sob sob sob)

neighbourhood security guard: bos, kenapa? kena tarik ka?
mr evil: takda la..mahu hantar balik kampung
me: dush dush dushhhh

sambil2 tuh we can see few heads terjengok jengok dari tingkap umah masing
cis! mesti derang ingat DARLING MAFSO kena tarik

mr evil: bos, malu la bos semua org ingat kena tarik
lorry driver: mmg salu ini macam punya (sambil tersengih)
me (dlm hati): hello my neighbours, i'm giving the best service for my DARLING MAFSO tau

on his way up

dear DARLING MAFSO
enjoy your trip tonite
i'm sure my father will take good care of you
you too must take good care of my father
jgn buat perangai tengah2 jalan
kalau rasa nak sakit ke apa make sure u meragam dr kat umah lg
thank you for the service you give me since 2001

on top of the world

*CARPUB = cari publisiti

lega

call M'sia Hall, Sydney
- lega first 2 weeks accomodation dah settle

call IT Helpdesk, UNSW
- lega dah dapat my new Unipass (yg i terforgot)

Benda yang belum boleh dilegakan lagi
- EPF
- DRimba
- My Darling MAFSO
- most importantly PACKING!!!

nak gelak ke nak marah?

this morning i received a call frm my ex-staff frm the previous previous ministry

she: puan...n*n* ni.
me: yerrppp
she: nak tanya, dulu utk projek tuuttt puan bayar guna waran ke baucar bayaran
me: hah?? ntah saya pun tak ingat..waran kot sbb mcm banyak kan...check la dlm fail tak pun check la dlm espkb
she: espkb tak boleh bukak tahun 2005 punyer
me: ntah la...projek dah lama mana saya nak ingat...tgk balik dlm fail la
she: ok...terima kasih puan


me ----> speechless

this is not the first time
few months ago she call and ask me....

she: puan, dulu puan buat surat bukak akaun amanah puan SK kat sapa?

can u see her problem??
too lazy to open the old file....tak reti nak usaha bukak fail lama (padahal fail akaun amanah tuh tak tebal mana pun...ntah2 skang baru masuk jilid 2 busuk2 pun jilid 3 la)
true dia rajin bertanyer (sbb kononnyertak sesat jalan)
tp logic ker asking me who yg dah bertahun tinggalkan keje tuh boleh ingat bende2 mcm tuh...unless i am a superduperwoman la kan
how am i supposed to remember the payment method i made in 2005 and mind you thats not the only project that i handle...kalau satu pegawai satu project INSYAALLAH la boleh ingat
and how i am supposed to remember to whom i SK the letter to? SK okk SK!









nak tergelak pun ada

hate my new retainer...

i am now braces-less
and i hate it so much
hate it becoz i have to wear that setoopid retainer
i thot wearing a retainer is much more easier/comfortable than braces
but nope i was wrong
hate it soo much that me sometimes curik2 tak pakai
my 1st day wearing retainer, i even take it off during my sleep
yes taking it off without even realising it
woke early morning thinking that i swallow it (w'pun tak logic)....panic sekijap
carik punyer carik dah sampai kat tgh katil....sib baik tak bengkok

scared

suddenly i'm feeling scared
suddenly i dont feel like going

hubby dearie....u better cheer me up







p/s: the feeling above is due to this reason ---> susahnyer nak carik umahhhh!!!!!

Journey to D'Rimba - 1st part

The 1st part of the journey is the best part......

our neighbours. canteknyer ader lanai and balcony...what to do, when we discover drimba...all the units with lanai and balcony sold out...huhuh

view frm our corridor

thats our unit. 1st floor on the right

Behind our block is the clubhouse and the pool. thats the bridge to the clubhse and pool. longkang ke stream tuh? hhuhuhu

walking towards the pool and the clubhouse

The Clubhouse

Canteknyer sapa yg beli depan pool ni. tp mahal nak mampus

Journey to D'Rimba - 2nd part

The 2nd part is the inside of the apartment. The finishing is not that satisfying. overall, i am just a bit dissaponted with the master bedroom...mcm kecik sgt la plak. Pictures u see below are not from our unit. our unit is lock. kesian la satu unit tuh yg jadi tempat bermaustatin pekerja2 kat situ

The Wet Kitchen

The Dry Kitchen

Dining Hall - dah boleh dah nampak bayang breakfast counter kat situ

Main Hall - kalau boleh MUST CHANGE flooring jugak (wink wink)

The 'walkway' from bedrooms to dining and living hall

The MUST CHANGE master bedroom flooring. Master bedroom is a bit small than what we expected

The first bedroom

The second bedroom

The MUST CHANGE toilet door

finally...

LAST DAY AT WORK
















tapi visa pun tak lepas lagi ni

my DARLING MAFSO

i already got two quotations for my DARLING MAFSO. one is RM900 and another is RM1300. this is door to door delivery...so mmg dia akan angkut DARLING MAFSO sensorang gituk. but then my father got another quotation...way way much much more cheaper...u know the lorry yg angkut keter baru banyak2 tuh...so DARLING MAFSO can tumpang that lorry with the rest of his new friends at the price of RM100 plus plus.. but then my father will need to pick up DARLING MAFSO somewhere specified later. rasanyer driver tuh punyer side business la ni. well, for me...of course i want the best for my DARLING MAFSO. i dont mind paying a bit higher as long as my DARLING MAFSO can balik kampung safe and sound. but knowing my father...if i insist on the RM900....sure pot pet pot pet punyer nanti ni. tgk lah camne esok ni nak balik kedah....bebas dr tembok batu sampai hr selasa....pehtu keje 3 hari...pehtu InsyaAllah bebas selama2nya.

p/s: harus la DARLING MAFSO kena polish b4 naik lori dgn kengkawan baru dia yg berkilat tuh

LEGA

LEGA...yes...thats what i felt at 5.30 pm today. selesai mesy lembaga naik pangkat....presented 13 kertas cadangan.... it was supposed to be a smooth meeting coz last friday evening i had discussion with one of the board member frm the central agency who is supposed to be a pro at this kind of issue. she requested me to adjust here and there.....add this and that on my papers. but then suddenly today another board member terbyk cakap plak....suddenly he is so full with ideas. of course i accepted his ideas but drpd 13 proposal...8 proposals kena buat minor adjustment. mmg minor jer but still...knowing me...terus jadi kalut bila ada changes yg tak dijangka. well how bout DEAR YOU yg chair the meeting....blur as usual....the only thing that he notice is that all my paper covers are categorize into diff colour for diff grade....chehh. if only that one person tak terbyk ckp...sure mlm ni jugak dah leh siap minutes of meeting. now, i'm halfway at preparing it. sampai mr evil terkagum tgk my commitment ...aper???!!! tak pernah tgk org rajin ke??

yg paling tragis, i even prepared my very own "presentation speech" on what to say and how to say it in a very diplomatic manner one whole morning today...tp tak leh pakai...chess!! bila dah tak leh refer teks ucapan,...terus bahasa semua tonggang langgang tak kire big boss ker idak...ayat paling gedik yg pernah dikeluarkan dlm mesy lembaga is today that is "aler En R....buat saya nervous jer"...hampass...malu sungguh...ini lah dia P*TD yg paling tidak berdiplomatik apabila berckp dlm mesy. anyway....SANGAT LEGA!!!

last week plak meeting lembaga tatatertib, this one mmg i only give like 50% or less of my effort on it. tak suker betol tatatertib!! dgn kes pelik2nyer...peraturan mcm2 lagik...pehtu kes polis la bpr lah...khalwat lah...hish! nasib baik all the documents my staffs yg buat...i only check on the kesedapan ayat and terus present the paper. minit pun org lain yg buat. kejam ker...but thats the reality. tolong la lepas ni tak mo buat tatatertib dah...hate it so much!!

AGAK - AGAK LAGI 2 MINGGU BOLEH BEBAS DARI TEMBOK BATU ITU TAK?

Darling MAFSO

i'm in dilemma

how in the world i'm gonna bring back my DARLING MAFSO to his hometown

DARLING MAFSO is quite old...5-6 hrs on the road would be too much for him

i dont think he can stand the heat plus it would dangerous to bring back DARLING MAFSO in bad weather condition....you know nowadays hujan sana sini sampai banjir

tell me what to do...i dont wanna sell my DARLING MAFSO yet becoz his name is precious plus he himself pun dah banyak sgt berjasa (erk...dah la asyik loan vacation jer dr father dearie)

i need to find a transport service that can transfer my DARLING MAFSO back to his hometown.
this is actually gonna be DARLING MAFSO first time back to his hometown

so i am pretty nervous abt it

anybody know any company providing that kind of service to my DARLING MAFSO???

Dear YOU

Dear YOU

Today, YOU lost my respect

the way YOU scolded me in front of everybody is so unprofessional
the way YOU make me cry in a room full of ppl is so heartless
the way YOU express you anger towards my ex-cat whom you mention repeatedly 'yg dah nak mampus' is so rude
the way YOU want everything done in a split second is so so illogical
the way YOU proudly say YOU are able to solve all the current sector problems if you are given the position is so so poyo

and finally
the way YOU explain that you are not scolding me but want me to convey the message to my current cat is meaningless

Dear You,
I shall never forgive you...never in my life!!!

=====================

and the thought that i was there on behalf of my cat is sooo......(*&(*^%!!!
