philadelphia :P

Hello semua,

How is your Ramadhan so far? Hopefully takde yang puasa yang yok, pagi-pagi bukak periuk! Hehhehehe... Yours truly awal2 Ramadhan dah tak dapat nak puasa, red flag menjelma, nasib baik sempat pergi terawih malam pertama *Alhamdulillah*

Sabtu yang lepas me and kesayangan dikejutkan pada awal pagi dengan berita pemergian seorang sahabat kami *Al- Fatihah*, walaupun tak berapa rapat, rasa sedih sangat sebab arwah pergi meninggalkan isteri dan dua orang anak perempuan kecil yang sangat comel *Semoga rohnya di cucuri rahmat* Arwah dan keluarga sempat datang ke majlis perkahwinan kami di Seremban. Bila fikir-fikir balik, rasa macam tak percaya beliau telah pergi :(

Oklah, cukuplah pasal kesedihan, hari ni saya nak cerita about pengalaman pertama saya balik kampung suami saya(excited lebih pulakkkk hahahahhaha). So last weekend me and kesayangan balik berbuka kat kampung kesayangan. Mana lagi kalau bukan Philadelphia PILAHdelphia aka Kuala Pilah. Kami bertolak dari KL dalam pukul 2pm and sampai kat kampung dalam pukul 3.30pm centu. Masa turun kereta nak salam semua orang saya adalah super nervous *over*, yela semua pun ada kat situ time tu (Wan, MIL, FIL, Mak Teh, Pak Uda, Mak Uda dan jugak sepupu sepapat yang ramai), so kenalah bagi first impression yang baik kan? Sampai-sampai aje, MIL baru nak prepare masak untuk buka puasa, so saya ingat nak tolong la, tapi MIL kata tak payah tolong, siap suruh saya berehat dan tido lagi...hehehehehhe...cool kan MIL saya? Tapi saya takla tido, duduk kat depan TV sambil borak2 ngan sepupu. Dalam pukul 4pm centu kesayangan tengok saya dah keras kat depan TV so dia ajak saya petik buah rambutan kat depan rumah Wan, yeahoooooo, rambutan is my favourite fruit ok, sekali duduk boleh makan sekilo tau..

Kat halaman rumah Wan ni penuh ngan pokok rambutan, durian ngan ciku, but at that time ada rambutan aje yang tengah masak, so me and kesayangan gigih petik buah rambutan dari satu pokok ke satu pokok. Rambutan merah ada, rambutan kuning pun ada jugak. Dapatla petik sebakul besar, happy giler kot dapat buah rambutan, yela kalau kat KL kena beli kan, kadang-kadang sampai RM4 sekilo, balik kampung dapat free-free aje. Boleh makan sampai batuk tekak.. hehehehehhe

By the time habis petik rambutan dah pukul 5 lebih dah pun, terus siap2 coz nak pergi bazaar ramadhan, hangkut sepupu-sepapat ngan SIL and BIL skali. Biasala bila sampai bazaar ramadhan banyak gila benda yang nak di beli, tapi kenala kawal nafsu kan? So mostly beli air and kuih-kuih aje coz dah tau yang MIL akan masak dengan meriahnye kat rumah.

Dalam 6.30pm sampai rumah Wan balik, saya mandi and by the time habis mandi dah nak dekat berbuka dah. Menu apa untuk berbuka? Jeng.....jeng....jeng... For starters mee hailam campur daging dan udang, dengan kuih-muih, roti john, murtabak dan bermacam jenis air. My MIL yang masak mee hailam tu, memang sedap gilaaaa makan sampai perut tegak boleh? Lepas makan starter saya balun rambutan pulak sampai dah tak boleh nak bergerak.. haishhhh..

Haaa jangan ingat takde nasi lauk...Adaaaaa... Lepas FIL balik dari terawih, kami makan nasi lauk pulak.. Lauknya? Masak lemak daging salai (nyummmm), masak lemak udang, ikan siakap 3 rasa, ikan cencaru bakar dengan sambal kicap ngan sayur.. Haaaa kan dah cakap masakan semuanya meriah-meriah belaka. Semua my MIL yang masak. Seriously, malam tu tido perut memang tegak gilaaaa. Pagi tu MIL kejut untuk sahur tapi memang rasa kenyang gilaaa lagi so jamah nasi sikit aje...

Ahad pulak, ready nak balik Seremban coz nak berbuka ngan my family pulak(yela kena gilir-gilir kan). MIL siap bekalkan rambutan and rebung untuk bawa balik. Ahad malam pun me and kesayangan makan sampai tegak jugak(kalau hari-hari makan camni confem makin gemukla kitorang ni), tapi yang ni nanti saya cerita dalam entry yang lain ok.. Enjoy the pics then :)

Ini rumah Wan. Luas kan halaman?

Gigih petik rambutan, ini bukan lakonan okeh?

Hello darlings,

Harini genap sebulan saya jadi isteri orang :) Sekejap je rasanya. So far married life is great but kadang-kadang rasa penat sangattt. Dalam sebulan ni me and kesayangan had to do so many things(kerja, butik, invitations from friends, visit sedara-mara, etcc). So rasa penat gilaaaaaa! Bayangkan nak kemas rumah pun still tak sempat-sempat lagi, so rumah kami ala-ala tongkang pecah at this moment :P Sila jangan datang!

Nak masak pun tak sempat-sempat lagi.. heheheh.. cuma sempat buat maggi(ape daa bagi suami makan maggi pulak), omlette dan sandwich ala-ala subway je untuk kesayangan. Siap kena puji dengan kesayangan, he said the sandwich lagi sedap dari subway (eleh, jaga hati la tu). Nak masak yang lain-lain memang belum berkesempatan. Plus kami takde rice cooker lagi boleh tak? Dalam banyak-banyak hadiah wedding haritu, kami tak dapat rice cooker langsung :( And last week kitorang ada usha rice cooker kat Carrefour(at that time malas nak beli coz kena queue panjang gila, tapi bila datang balik nak beli the model dah sold out pulakkk. Bengang sungguh! So misi saya untuk hari ini ialah untuk membeli rice cooker. Kena beli jugak harini sebab esok dah puasa kan, so ingat nak masak sikit la masa bulan puasa ni.

On other things, saya rasa saya dah gemuk! Dah dekat 2 bulan tak pergi gym langsung tapi makan tak hengattttttt dunia, so hopefully bulan puasa ni bolehla kuruskan badan sikit. This year also first time berpuasa as a 'wifey' so rasa macam special sikit la kan.

Oklah have to get back to work. Selamat menyambut Ramadhan dearies!

fly-day

makan yang lebeyy

Hello ladies!

It's Friday yo! How can you not feel the joy and happiness today right? Am in the office and decided to skip lunch today. Why? Coz me and kesayangan had our little 'food fiesta' yesterday nite. Let me tell how how it went.

We have been planning to go to IKEA to get some stuffs for our mi-casa, eventually we went to IKEA last night after work. Left our house around 7.30pm and reached IKEA around 8.15pm, first stop was IKEA's currypuff and hotdog! Managed to control our 'greedy-ness' by buying only 4 currypuffs instead of our usual 6(selalu beli half dozen ok, padahal jimat 50sen aje kot :P), plus one hotdog and a bottle of mineral water. We ate outside as kesayangan nak hisap roks la kan. After whalloping all the currypuffs and shared the hotdog together-gether we 'decided and agreed' not to have dinner anymore coz we were already full. But kesayangan sempat jugak cakap "B, ni kalau layan meatball ni pun best jugak kan?". Waduhhhhhhh.. Tadi dalam kereta dah agree nak makan karipap aje and tak nak makan meatball, ni dah jadi lain pulak, haihhhhhh. I tried to convince him and told him that we can have the meatball this weekend. He bought it and off we went inside. FYI by the time we went inside it was already 8.45pm.

We went directly to the lower floor and did not want to pass the showroom (coz we had limited time kan), but it was a BIG mistake. Why? Coz you have to take the escalator or the lift to go down and you will pass by the cafe on the way to the escalator/lift. Damn! BIG MISTAKE! Kesayangan terpandang poster meatball and terus masuk cafe sambil cakap "Ahhhh, pasti nak makan meatball!". Lawak gile weh. Self-control sangat la kurang. This time kesayangan pulak yang convince kan I cakap "B, dah lama gila kita tak makan meatball ni, dahla datang jauh-jauh, rugi B kalau tak makan." Arghhhhhh, nak tak nak, ikutkan aje si suami ku ini.

Mula-mula we wanted to take the 15 pieces meatball (tamak kan?) with daim cake(my fave) and that was it, but when we reached the counter to order our food dah jadi lain dah :P, instead of one plate it became two plates. 10 pieces meatball and chicken with Swedish herbs and my daim cake. Yes, I know, I know, we were greedy and had lost self control, haihhhhhhhhhhhh :( mane la tak gemok camni. I blame you sayang! hehehehhe

We ate and enjoyedddd the food and by the time we were finished it was already 9.40pm. Ayoooo! 20 minutes to go before IKEA closes. Off we go and this time straight to the lower floor. As we had limited time we really only stopped at the items which we really wanted, kesayangan boleh pulak nak pergi toilet bagai, I told him to 'tahan' until we finished.. ehehhehehehe..by 10pm we were already queueing at the cashier, so it took us only 20 minutes to do the shopping, kesimpulannya shopping nye kejap aje, aktiviti makan pulak yang melebih-lebih :P

p.s: sorry ada gambar makanan aje, gambar barang rumah tak sempat nak amek

so pakai baju ape raya tahun ni eh?

Hey sweet ladies,

Arini nak blog pasal Butik Bajoo la coz dah lama tak cerita pasal kedai saya ni kan. So semalam I dah pergi amek sample kaftan for raya stock. Sekarang ni memang trend kaftan kan? I tengok kat shopping mall pun banyak jual kaftan and tengok famous designer semua keluarkan collection kaftan for this raya. Tengok blog Hatta Dolmat baru-baru ni, masya-ALLAH sangat cantekkkk kaftan dia, tapi rasanya belum mampu lagi nak beli bila tengok harga dia. Maybe for the future insya-ALLAH :)

Untuk raya ni Butik Bajoo membawakan koleksi khas kaftan yang sangat berpatutan harganya, ALL KAFTANS are below RM300, rasanya sangat affordable la, tokey siap bagi bayar 2kali lagi (E-mail me to know how u can do 2 times payment for the kaftan), memangla design takla secantik designer kaftan, but I can guarantee that the quality of the material and the diamante stones are very good quality, plus all the kaftan adalah full lining, so senang dah tak payah nak pakai inner or kain dalam dah... hehehehehhe

Jadi kalau nak order boleh hubungi saya aje :)))

Please excuse the low quality images :( This is what happened when you copy and paste the pics. Anyhoot, out post wedding pics were taken at kesayangan's former high school, Sekolah Menengah KGV. The school had this old english architechture making it perfect for the shoot.

post nikah pics

Actually I haven't received the official photos yet, but our photographer has uploaded few pics to his flickr account. I just copied and paste it here, hence the low quality images :(

The photos were taken at the Seremban Lake Garden right after our nikah ceremony, fyi the lake garden is just right across the masjid where we held our nikah ceremony.
