What's In The Name?

This conversation took place this morning.

J: Uncle, ada air mawar tak?
U: X de.
J: Eh tapi auntie tu ckp ada jual kat kedai ni.
U:  Ini air apa bikin?
J: Ala yg utk renjis2 tu. Guna jugak masa kat kubur. Air mawar nama dia.
U: Ooo rose water? Ada ada

Damn, I went the block twice just because you said that the water wasn't sold in the shop and you told me that there was another shop and asked me to try there. Padahallllll

Ok so I'm not English enough la kan? hahha

rose water huhu

Waiting Outside The Lines

The new year has rung in. So what do I hope for the new year? A great year, of course. This year will be great for me. I can feel it in my bones.

There will be some challenges waiting, I'm sure but I'm not one who cowers from them. I welcome challenges since I believe they will make me a better person.

Two weeks had passed and the days had been hectic and busy. I think this is the first time I went to school on the first day less enthusiastic than before. Usually I wouldn't be able to sleep as I was too excited to go to school hahaha

 

One particular person said that I haven't reached certain standard thus rejecting my name for this one particular thing but I believe my standard is beyond her comprehension. Ah well, she is not the one who determines my rezeki. Everything comes from Him and I believe in Him and my rezeki. So I hope she made that decision fairly and not basing it on her unstable emotions.

Alrite, I'll keep you posted then. In the meantime, have a great year too aye?

Lovely Day

Tell me if you' ve had this for breakfast

It's glutinous rice with jack fruit and mung beans porridge.

We went to this restaurant for breakfast and saw so many people went to this table. I was curious and went to see. Still couldn't figure it out so asked the man at the counter. 

He said something abt it being a Kelantan delicacy. There were many pots on the table containing coconut milk, different types of sweet porridge, brown sugar syrup etc.

Asked him how to eat it since I wanted to try but he was quite lost on his explanation. Haish how to promote to foreigners? And at that time I was a foreigner as this food was totally foreign to me hehhe

Okla the taste. Sweet. Only I wonder why exactly they have it in the morning.

Overall, it was a productive and fruitful trip. Met friends and bought some stuff. Yep, bonus was not even in at that time but I already spent it hahha Well, what else is new?

Got these for myself so I'm quite happy.

 

shoes

pants

Although I will be happier if I can get more hehehe So many wants rather than needs, I know I know

I need to put myself into the shoes of people who have do not even have enough. It's quite difficult actually. It's easier said than done aye?

Oh, Legend Hotel or now its new name is Sunway Putra has this gorgeous ginger bread house

some pieces falling off..sayangnye should jatuh in the stomach heheh

and pix of us, the tourists :)

I Wanna Go

You know, I had failed so many times in gracing the wedding invitations from fellow Saijorians. Most of times, the timing was off. It was either I was on duty or had some going on in school. I felt horrible so this time I made sure that I would manage to fulfil this one invitation.

It was made easier since we were already in keyell so that morning, we went off to Sidek's wedding.We left early for fear that we would not be able to find the venue and we arrived wayyyyyy too early hahha Only workers were there :)

We arrived at the venue abt 11 sthg and the workers were still putting on tablecloths. Julie went to ask when exactly the event would start and the man asked said abt 12. Hmm but shouldn't the tables be covered by 11 sthg?

Anyway, since we had time to kill we went off wandering around. And bought a card. Decided not to buy a present. Just gave cash instead. I hate it if my presents ended up given to others since the newlyweds have tons of the same thing. Do they need another set of toaster when they already have 3?

I think the westerners have this one right. Register the presents that they want and the guests will choose which one that they want to buy for the newlyweds. So no duplicates and no unwanted things. Hint Hint *wink

Then headed back to the hall. Although there were already guests we suspected that we were among the family as most of them were wearing the same theme.

Loved the theme. Loved the decoration. Loved the food.

While eating my eyes were wandering to see any familiar faces but none. We wanted to wait until the bride and the groom arrived and made our presence felt so I think we were among the ones who were there the longest. And that included the groom's relatives hahha

And Julie being Julie harassed Sidek's brother for that piece of candy. The candies were only for kids but since Julie has a child in her, she wanted one. Kesian the kid that he had to relent in the end hahha The power of persuasion, I guess

Finally I saw one familiar face. You know, the moment I saw him I thought he was Zul. But noooo. Actually it was Ruby's hubby hahah Tu yg familiar tu since I've seen his photos so many times on fb. Come to think of it, I wonder where Zul is now? Hmm

Waited for Ruby to finish eating then went to the bride and groom's table to take pix.

And one of the SPISE girls of 3 batches. And what more special is that all of us are Otago alumni :)
