Once a fairytale

(Yaya got interrupted by Aru after receiving a phone call from someone during Aru's tuition)

Aru : Who is it ? Is it Midzi ?

Yaya : No -__- (In her mind : Aru's a weirdo !)(continues talking before putting down the phone a minute after)

That was one of Yaya's conversation with her Physic's tuition teacher (and mine during my days), Mr Aru.

Yaya told me how Aru adores Midzi. And that she can see how much Aru misses him because he talks about Midzi a lot. Well, I should see that coming. Aru and Midzi had always bonded well back in those days. They're like two peas in a pod. Looking so mutual and so ummm, gay ? Hehe. Sometimes I can't help but to feel jealous over Aru because he had better chemistry with Midzi than me. How can a Physic teacher beat a girlfriend in this case ? Back in those days okay. Don't think bukan-bukan. Haha.

Anyway, let's not change the subject because that's not where I should be heading. Yaya told me that Aru couldn't sound more astonished when she told him that I was no longer with Midzi. I mean, common, those days were long over. Cerita basi already. And we thought Aru would already know it because let's face it, Midzi and Aru seems inseparable even after all these years. Two peas in a pod plus gayness shouldn't be separable ! Kan ? -___-

Yaya : They had ended well long time ago la Mr Aru.

Aru : Ey, how can la ? Tipulahh. Your sister was so in love with Midzi. They were so in love with each other.

Yaya : Mana adalah Mr Aru. They were high schoolers back then.

Aru : No lahh. They're so in love with each other la. Takkan lah dah break. They seem long lasting. Couldn't be la.

Yaya : (Yaya making an 'erkkkk' face) What ever you say Mr Aru.




I just laughed. Midzi would love to hear this. I'll bet on it !

You eat, you shut up and stop whining

*A long stare at the monitor while rubbing my tummy*

I'm so full. Ate 2 nasi lemak for brunch today. I can now skip dinner thank you. Feeling a whole lot of food guilt because I had too much to eat. I don't think I can fit in my normal black skinny jeans anymore. Why do I have such big appetite ? *Staring at some Toblerones in a candy bowl*

God knows how long I've been neglecting any physically active routine. I'm not as lucky as some of my friends. They get to eat their lungs out everyday, but still managed to stay stick thin. You have to hate them for having the kind of genes you long wish you have. Just because they can stuffed their self with great tasty foods all day long. I'm an eater. I need those genes ! Anyhow, I'm grateful with what I have. I know I will never get to be stick thin or skinny because I honestly don't wish to be one. I admire woman with curves. Curves that are well proportion with just enough muscles. I know I need to work out to get that kind of body. And trust me, when I do shed some of my extra weight by working out, I will stop whining right after I eat. I know when to stop worrying about my weight. I'm aware that some people never gets enough being their thin self and wants to be thinner than thin. Have you ever heard of anorexia ? Be healthy honey. Love your body and feed them with the right amount. Trust me, you won't be as big as me ! I'll bet on that.

Sometimes I feel like killing some of my friends who constantly kept insisting that they're fat. If you're fat, what am I really ? Fatso Rhino ? I personally think people really should be careful about the things they about to say. Especially when you're making a statement about you being fat though we all know very well you're not. Get it, you're NOT ! Maybe I'm not the best person to give out advices on loving your body in every shape because sometimes I'm ungrateful myself and put myself off because I felt so fat after I binge too much on foods. But trust me, I know when to stop insisting because eventually people will feel annoyed if I don't. I don't think it's fair when someone kept complaining about their weight or figure with someone that's with the issue even more. It's selfish ! Try to be more absorbent because you might hurt other people's feeling by trying to convince them you're fat when you're actually NOT. Nak keding macam mana lagi ? Haih. Just when I thought I was the only one that always feel unsatisfied slash ungrateful with my body, those people might have way bigger issue than mine and might have proved me wrong after all. Let's be grateful together now shall we ? (:

As for now, I know I should be running around and jumping. But I simply not up for that just yet. Just yet ? Yea. When will it be then ? Typical, typical me. Haha. Instead, let's talk about foods. Haha. Yes foods ! Since Wowo's back from Egypt. I decided to list out some of the places where we could dine together as a whole family.

1. Jack's Charbroil Steak House.

Ohh yummm. One of my favourite place to eat steak. But steak was not all there is to eat. I'm crazy for their Escargot Bourguignonne and Lobster Thermidor.

2. California Pizza Kitchen.

The family and I have been here once. But once is just enough to get us coming again. Cheeseburger pizza have got to be the best pizza I've ever tasted. Okay okay. Maybe the one in Mecca too. But, this is definitely one of my favourite. Other than that, the red velvet cake and the key lime pie are to die for ! Must try !

Love the asparagus sticks !

I'll make sure to try the asparagus soup on our next visit. And many other too. Eat while you can !


3. Tonka Beans Cafe Deli, Ramadhan Buffet in Impiana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

Read this one in the newspaper a few months back. And been waiting for Wowo to come back from Egypt because I personally want to experience this with all of us being together forever. Haha. You get what I mean.

4. Melaka.

Kampung-sweet-kampung. Okay, so maybe I changed the famous paraphrase (Home-sweet-home). But all means well for this post and this post only. Where is the best place for ikan bakar ? Hands down it is indeed in Umbai but of course.

5. Raku, Concorde, Shah Alam.

This is the family's favourite place to eat Japanese Foods. Even the workers recognize us and kept saying 'Dah besar dah' almost everytime we came to visit for makan. We usually have lunch or dinner buffet. But they no longer provide buffet services there. Therefore, we haven't been eating there in more like what it seems 2 years. Planning to get the parents down there again.


6. Alexis.

Never had anything besides their meringue berries and a few drinks. Though I highly prefer Delicious strawberry pavlova, the meringue berries taste A-okay for my taste bud. Hoping to get the family to dine there together soon.

7. Sushi King, Subang Parade.

The family love it here. Ever since Raku no longer provide their buffet services to their customer, we turned to Sushi King instead. Practical with the conveyor belt display sushi. And us love Pino ice cream for dessert ! A must !

8. Serai, Section 3, Shah Alam.

Come come come ! (Helping to promote the restaurant. Haha) It's our family's friend restaurant. It's a great place to eat Thai foods. I personally love everything there especially the 'kerabu mangga'. They have other franchise in Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur called 'Serai Satay Bar' that sells satay. And the latest franchised were opened in Empire Shopping Gallery called 'Serai Empire'.

9. Al-Rawsha, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

I know most people would prefer 'Andalus' and 'Castle'. But my family and I have always dined here for great Lebanese Cuisine. It's another family's friend place. Yea, that's why. But the foods are great. My favourite have got to be 'lamb mandi'. Yummm !

10. T-bowl Concept Restaurant, Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks to Wowo and Syasya, I really want to experience eating something out from a toilet bowl. Their ideas ! Haha. I'm not sure why people would eat something from a toilet bowl plate while seating on a real toilet bowl. Sounds rather disgusting right ? But the experience sounds different. That what makes the experience exciting. Okay okay. Fine. I dare to be disgusting. By the way, they're opening their 3rd outlet soon in Sunway Pyramid this November. Be sure to check them out !

11. Pepper Lunch, Sunway Pyramid, Subang Jaya.

This time bringing the whole family !

12. The Garden Restaurant.

This time bringing the whole family !


Other than the ones I listed, I'm up to try out 'Full House', 'Tarbush' and 'Yogi Tree'. Anymore great places to eat you wish to introduce to me ? Please don't hesitate to leave out comments then.

Mak nenek strikes back

Rise and shineeee ! Not quite a good day for the German fans I predicted. Haha. Yes, I can predict now. Oooo My Goddd ! (Sing it Usher style this time !)I hate predictionsss ! Anyways, let's skip the things we already know. Yes yes, Viva la Espana. Yadda yadda. I wouldn't say it's a luck to the Spain. They deserved to win. We all should have known that through the first half of the match. Ball possession exactly my point. Plus, the Germans look tired. I hope Spain win against Netherlands for finals. Because Oranje, I'm uhh.... full stop. Not going to say anything there. I don't even know what to say frankly. I'm not a fan maybe ? Skip skip.

So anyway, Yaya got herself a cool new bike. Orange in colour (Oranje Yaya ? Really?). And another extra bike in black for any one of us / any of her friends who would want to join her riding. We rode the bike yesterday as soon as Uncle Frank and Uncle Fir deliver it to us. And it was raining when we rode it. Up to no good. Haha. By the way, I think she got the idea to start riding again due to this :-





This was a great night for me. My first time riding a fixie bike. Thanks again to Sya. You wouldn't know how much I love her ! Not only due to this, but for many others too. She's the one and only person I could rely on when I need a shoulder to cry on if I got so stressed out at home. My siblings at home probably too young to be listening to what I have to say. Yaya wouldn't know how to help me out (I figure), if she happens to see me crying. I like to keep things to myself even from my own family. I'll say this though, being the eldest is hard. Veryyy hard. Especially when you got 5 younger siblings that could be judging you because they want to look up to someone's older than them. You'll find yourself trying to be the as-imagined-image your parents hopeful for and trying to be a perfect example to the little ones. And parents, especially Asian parents, toughen you up by not giving you enough credits. Sometimes, it's depressing. And you'll try really hard portraying and conveying them you're good enough for all they wanted you to be. And trust me, most of the time, you feel like a loser, because things will never be enough. As they strive and set you up to be the best among the best. One way to another, it's good and reflects more positive outcome. And I'll probably be thanking them more in the future. For now, fragile human being like myself need to be praised for her efforts. Which most of the time invisible and got replaced with other things I failed to impressed. And in the end, you got praised with none of the things you wish them to see you're doing. And you might act all desperate for them to notice you, knowing that you may not be living under the same roof with them in a few years time.

Now, how can I talk from bike to this aye ? Haha. Told you I'm a mak nenek suka membebel buta. Sometimes membebel helps you to express yourself. I have too many things to share for now. And I'll be having more time next week to pour it all out after I'm done with I.E.L.T.S. InsyaAllah, through my experiences, I'll give my share so that you won't feel as miserable you may be feeling now. Life's a journey. You'll be going through tides and waves, uphill and downhill, lights and darkness, and the list can go on and on. But never let yourself feel like your life is worthless. In the end, the things you could do is, to be happy for yourself and all the good things you know you did if you couldn't make other people notice that.

What a way to end this post. Dramaticccc ! Haha.

One fine Friday night in June

The panic mode I had earlier this morning soothes up after I force myself to study for my upcoming I.E.L.T.S test just now. I tried to blog about it first thing in the morning but the home Compaq made a lousy switched off by it's own. Frustrating because I've had just made myself a long like essay post. Anyway, I feel all better now because I tried doing some exercises for the test. But I know myself too well to keep my nerve calm at all times. Because I'll be on it again before I go to bed. It always happen. The panic mode will keep coming in an everyday cycle. Twice. And if I don't allow myself to study, it will happen more frequent than just twice a day. But I guess, all means well. It helps me to really study for this test. Putting almost and not likely 100 percent. Or not, I'll take it for granted. Especially when it don't count as much. See, I'm already taking this for granted.

Anyway, I'll be sitting for the test in 2, 3 weeks time from now. So, caiyokkk caiyokkk !! Haha.

Last night, went to watch Toy Story 3D with Maa and the rest in Sunway Pyramid. Count Ayah and Wowo out though. Ayah couldn't make it because he had to go and meet his client. Wowo on the other hand, you know, still stuck with the Egyptians. I can't seem to remember the last time Maa went for a movie with us at the cinema. I even bought 3 couple seats tickets for 6 of us 3 days earlier because Maa was the one who suggested that we watch this movie.

The movie started at 8.45 PM and ended around 2 hours later. I was obviously crying because I'm a tear jerker. No shocker there. Maa cried even worst though. And yes, I got it from my Mama ! It's a great movie for the whole family. We laughed and we cried. And the main point here, we enjoy it as much as the first and the second movie. I'm glad Maa joined us. We should do this more often ! Next time, count on Wowo and Ayah too. InsyaAllah.
