Make me up make up man!

theres an old wives tale that if u have a bad dream, u have to tell it to people so it wouldnt happen. kn?? ke jgn tell? i think its tell.. so im telling!!

I have had this recurring nightmare it like 5-6 times since my merisik. its always in different situations but always the same horrible thing. it'll be my wedding day, and everyone will be busy doing wedding stuff, ill be in my wedding dress.... and my make up artist doesnt show up and i look all splotchy from crying over my missing make up artist and my hair is a tangled mess nobody can fix. i always wake up with my heart beating fast. everytime. and i would doa to god to pls pls pls let thr be no problems with my make up artist- for all three occasions.

a fren of mine once said. it doesnt matter how shabby a wedding is, but a bride must always stand out from everyone else. and i agree wholeheartedly. other then our life after marriage, what im really looking forward to is me getting all dolled up on our wedding day. i mean when else wud i get away with THAT much make up?? ok other then reading but that doesnt make me look pretty and princessy

but these nightmares are evil. i guess my subconscious is telling me that in my head, my make up artist is about as important as the juru-nikah. i hope hope hope all the horror stories i have heard of brides looking horrible on their wedding day and of make up artists calling in sick stay just as what they are- a bad dream.

Kellogs Special K

so ive started a new bfast regime (if u must) it starts with a serving of kellogs special k cereal served with skim milk and followed by a serving of fruits. i love fruits so i have no qualms about muching on truckloads of any types of fruits, but they typically revolve around apples, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, melons, and the occasional pomengranate or two.

thing is, i am a big bfast eater, ok im a big eater full stop, but i love having huge savoury bfasts. ive never been one to settle for a slice of toast or a bowl of cereal. on weekends, i would normally make scrambled eggs which i pair with some fat sausages or even the spicy halal african ones papa brings home with some sauteed mushrooms and a grilled tomato. THAT is bfast. not sume limp toast. at the office i indulge in the occasional nasi lemak. but bfast at the ofc is normally whatever is being served in the crappy cafe downstairs which is usually roti telur or maggi grg. so unhealthy kan! like wat a way to start my mornings!

so that was y i dcided to try this kellogs special k 2 week challenge. i wont be following it by the book as it requires u to take the cereal for bfast AND dinner. i might not survive that. so im starting off slow with bfast first. depending on my level of famish-ness tonite, i will decide if i can subsist on it alone.

In the meantime, i have cut up a large tupperware of mangoes and apples into tiny bite sized bits to munch on coz i cannot not munch. its like my mouth has a mind of its own. i have to munch on sumtin or it might start to munch my own tongue.

so far i feel great! hunger pangs have not set in yet even tho i only had cereal and fruits and nothing savoury! ive got a good feeling about this. oh and just so u know.. im already 50 mins into this diet! 50 whole mins n i havent gone hungry! amazing rite!

well it is for me anyway!

World Hunger 2010 Charity Walk

I did my first ever charity walk in my adult life over the weekend. and it was soooooo much fun!!

i stumbled across the reg booth one day while i was out having lunch. i called jj n he gave his nod of approval. then i roped in some buddies who were equally excited and clueless about it.

the evening before the walk, jj had a football friendly with his buddies and twisted his ankle. my first thot was 'oh noooo!! kesian!! r u ok!' winds of change came quickly and concern turned to 'omg!! den u kenot walk tomorrow!! ohh mann!! u kno how long weve been planning for this??' he shushed me n sed he wud be ok to walk by morning. i highly doubted it n offered my late grandmothers wheelchair, the one we use as a racing vehicle around the house. very mature ppl we are.

so come morning he picked me up for breakfast and lo n behold! he was limping! and walking very slowly, dragging his swollen ankle.. shiannn!! i told him not to do the walk, instead he cud just sit by the side and hold our handbags. of course he disagreed. 'tanak lah!!'

so we reached the place n was greeted with a sea of yellow. it was like we went to sleep and woke up in digi man land. was pretty hard trying to spot one another coz evryone looked yellow and similar.

there was a few activities we could partake in while waiting for the walk to start. nenah and i spotted the sumo wrestle thingy and was jumping up n down in xcitement! the suit was like a portable sauna and stank of the sweat of former sumo's. disgusting i kno. bt the wrestling part was soooo fun and uber funny!! at one point nenah fell on her back and cudnt get up. she was like an upside down turtle. the man had to pick her up by her suit. so so so funnn!!!

we (jj n i) ended up walking 5 km instead of our pre agreed 3. it rained earlier so it was cool n breezy. at one point jj picked out an old old man and sed that he would be our benchmark, we had to keep our pace up to his and that he should never be out of our sight. i thot 'sure!! no problem!! he's old how fast can he really go??' 10 minutes down the road we were on the lookout for a new benchmark, we lost our old one (pun not intended).

we ended the walk with the collection of our goodie bag (which i loved) and dinner which we ceremoniously ate by the roadside along with other digi man lookalikes.

all in all it was a marvellous day and i would love to do it again!

they had it last year at padang merbok and there were two thousand ppl in attendance, this year there was six thousand.

i hope there'll be more and more ppl nx year. not only do u get to spend an awesome day with your loved ones, u also get to burn fat and play sumo AND FEED THE POOR!! how wonderful is that!!

here are some photos that i nicked from nenah's fb coz she was the only one taking photos.

digi man lookalikes

Ayomak get set gone!!

bouncy rock climbing! look at our xcited faces!

and off we go!

RIP Red BB

so on sat jj n i decided to finally go hiking- a plan we made 3 months ago. ok br skrg nk materealize. so i got up ad 7 and showered and waited for him to pick me up. papa did all bout laugh his head off (ok laugh jgak bt xguling2)when i told him i was going hiking. he simply kenot take me seriously when i tell him im gonna do any form of streneous activity since well.. ever. give me sum cred la pa!

well he ws rite.. but we didnt intentionally not go hiking.. it rained.. quite heavily pulak tu so we re-routed and went for bfast instead. mkn heavy pulak tu.. mee kari!! nyum nyum.. on a rainy day a steaming hot bowl of mee kari is heaven in a bowl ok.

den wanted to drop by maxis but it wasnt open yet so he sed.. alang2 were here lets work up a sweat abit. so we went to kiara park at tmn tun. we park rite infront of thegate whr so ramai org klua masuk. d car was opposite the soya bean truck which is like d hi lite of the park. n dey had a nature society day thingy dat day so laagiii la ramai org.

getting down from the car i wanted to bring down my phone by he sed xpayah la, i dh bwk my phone. so i left it in the glove compartment n we were off. thr were lotsa booth around d park. we signed sum petition, ate sum cereal (thr was a honeystars truck parked nearby- like i cud resist!??) and den trus penat.

went back to the car and opened the glove compartment to get my phone and lo n behold!! it wasnt thr. me being me immediately panicked. he was all calm n cool. ade tu. check btul2. im sure its thr. my phone has a red devil rubber cover so its kindda hard to miss. i was sure at that point we had been robbed. he was still relaxed saying, my wallets here we werent robbed'. till he opened his wallet and found himself poorer by rm150.

by this time i was surprisingly serene. i was not going jack in d box crazy like id always imagine myself to be in these situation. after it sunk in that we were indeed robbed in broad daylite, we went n lodged a police report. we went by maxis to get my sim card back and to enquire about my corporate plan but was rather dissapointing.

i got myself another bb coz i still hv to pay for the service so i might as well mke use of it kn.

n today i got even!! called maxis n got them to jamm my stolen phone so it can only be used for making and receiving calls. no sms, mms, bbm, fb, twitter, nothing! hamek kau pencurik!!

i just sat staring at my laptop screen with a grin on my face imagining d face of the creep using my phone n tibe2 kenot use.

we (myself n d kid i teach tuition to) bbm-ed my old phone yesterday using tuition kids bb n sumone was already using it! sumone named alan. n we asked him whr he got the phone n i told him dat he was using my bb dat was stolen over the weekend. guess wat he did. he deleted tuition kid from his list. and he nvr approved me at all!! sbb my nick on my old phone is jane n my new phone pn name jane. so cam he xapprove. n now he cant use d phone. hihi!! *joy*

ok i just realised i dont hav a single photo of my old phone.. how sad...  oooh found one! but its more of me brangan amek gamba while trying on clothes.. hmm.. well sumtin is better then nuthin ey?

u will be missed red bb..

on a happier note~ he got me a new pair of shoes coz i was bummed out abot losing my phone..

n its my new favouritest shoe!!

i wanted it the moment i saw it on the catalogue in us but d shipping cost was too much. den we found it at gardens!! *luff*

so la gave birth last week. on d same day that he got sick and was forced by yours truly to go to d hosp. wat w all d crazy bugs flying around, im not gonna jeapordize my health ok- eh mine eh.

so he was hospitalized coz jeng jeng jeng he had dengue! ok thank u syg sbb suro i pg hospital or i wud have died by now n wud nvr get to grow old with u n watch our grandkids go to college- janna is the best gf ever. i know!!

so he was warded for 5 days n seemed like forever!!

he was poked n proded n had blood sucked out of him twice a day. ksian. im deathly afraid of needles ok. id b giving him words o encouragement while i hide behind d curtain. creepy. boleh x sape2 yg genius create machine yg can like scan ur body using sum infrared thingy or wateva instead of draining us of blood?? pretty pls? thank u

so he's ok now. tp dpt mc mcm 30 tahun yg best gile- ok fine 2 weeks. but wen im working n he's resting 2 weeks does seem like 30 years. no fair.

on another note

the stork has arrived!

The babies r here!! comel x??? d besa one is bugsy their dad. wen we first got him he was sorta bug eyed. tp now mcm dah ok.

u kno dey grow up so fast! d first gamba n d 2nd gamba were taken like 3 days apart. 2nd pic was taken during d weekend. now theyre eatingg!!! n dey were born just last week!!

sgt besa oredi okk!!

elephant from damansara

ohemgeee!!

ader xorg lg gemok dr i kt duniaaa!!???

i had a glee marathon all of yesterday. i did not get out o bed till 7pm. dats PM ok. i got up pretty early.. well late for me. early for most. and just laid there watching one episod after another of glee. n i gotta say, those dancing singing kids really make me feel like breaking into a song and dance routine everytime a crisis arise.

sgt best ok.

anyway come night fall i got into d kemas2 mood and took out d entire contents o my bureau and tried evrything on. well tried my work clothes on la. and lo n behold!! clothes dat used to hang off my boney body are now so tight i  can barely breath!! gemok sgt okk!! i tried on most of my dresses n skirts! and wen i was done i was left with about as much confidence as a peanut.

n no matter how much i moan n cry about it im not gonna loose dis mak cow body. crying doesnt burn much calories. nor does whining. i gotta get off my ass and stop cooking and do sumtin about it. starting tomorrow im gonna hit d park and go jogging straight after work even if it means doing it in my heels. ok im gonna change first but im so gonna do it. swimming once a week just isnt cutting it. plus berendam at night always gives me the flu n a bad headache the next morning. n ive frozen my gym membership yet again. no point in paying wen i go once in 4 months.

i wanna lose at least 5 kgs so gudluck me!!

im d next biggest loser ok!!

whee heee!!!

happy monday all!

and with age comes...

i used to be able to eat like a cow and not worry about weight gain AT ALL. sum ppl say i shudnt be worried about my weight, dat im fine just d way i am. but i beg to differ. i used to b kurus ok. i mean kurus.. like kecik.. now im not so kecik anymore.. im finding more n more new sections of flesh on my body that i prefer not to get aquainted with- coz i dont want to have them for long. or at least i plan not to.

im getting older. im not shedding the weight as fast as i used to. back then all i had to do was not have appetite for 2 days n dah kurus. skrg sbulan xmkn pn stil mcm hippo kot?? not that ive tried not eating for a month... n acne scars on my face no longer go away in a week, they take forever!! n that is if i religiously apply bio oil twice a day!!

wats happening to me???

i hate getting old... for the ladies out there, we need to start using anti ageing products on our faces if we want to maintain ur skins elasticity. keep those wrinkles at bay for as long as we can ok. rite now i dont make up as much as i used to. wat am i saying?? i DONT wear make up at all unless im attending a wedding or going sumplace nice. i dont put on make up to go to the ofc anymore coz i prefer to sleep longer. but i never leave the house without a good moisturizer and sunblock. EVER. dermalogica's intensive moisturizer works like magic n simple's sunblock is great without feeling heavy. i wash my face twice a day, unless i do some heavy cooking, then ill clean it 3 times a day. do not overwash ur face. dryness leads to wrinkles. pick a face wash that is PABA free. Kiehls is great! i love their face wash! cleans without drying. always have sunblock on, bkn sbb takut gelap but u need protection against UV rays esp now that the days r uber hot!

n the utmost important thing is never go to sleep without washing ur makeup off. i dont know how sum ppl do it. i couldnt sleep w make up even if i tried! xselese kot!

for hair- hair pon kne jaga ok. nnti get grey hair. n split ends r just gross. have regular snips to avoid these. or change ur conditioner- this may b a reason for ur split ends. n dont expose ur hair to too much heat eg. curling iron, hairdryer. im guilty for this but i ensure i spread on sum heatprotection and i do a home hair treatment once a week. try alken hair prods- superb! im in love with their shampoo and treatment mask n serum!

ok tibe2 concious dgr ke-sloppy-an sendiri so this post is really one for me to convince me that i havent truly let myself go..

ok im so gonna start swimming to cute kn balik badan mak cow ni...

lets all stay cute togather ok

*luff*

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

so im back at work. i havent missed much professionally. the company's still running strong. im a little behind in the gossip column tho. like ohemgee, who's getting married and who tipu to go out on a date, and  who's secrets are out in d open. i mean really. if u look close enuff, the ofc is like a neverending soap opera! n i feed on gossips like a bunny does a juicy shiny bright orange carrot! yes im shallow like dat. dun judge me ok. sumer org suke gossip. jgn xngaku. nnti i throw shoe at u.

anyways. as expected, sumpah liat giler nk masuk ofc ok. after being on leave for 2 weeks of course la kn. but super xcited to c d babes!! penyampai gossips ok. mesti la xcited nk jumpe.

i wanna tell u abt dis crazy incident i had a few days back. i went out after dinner to get d form 3 literature book i needed for my tuition. we went to SBL in ss2 (kedai 'must go' every student within 3 km radius o SBL) pastu! i went in and it was nearing closing time and thr was a small crowd o mostly moms buying stuffs for their kids. i asked for my book n waited. then i heard all these ladies (satu kedai sume pompuan ok) screaming n shouting in panic!!

i jumped on the book shelve dlm mase 0.07 saat kot!!! i has no idea wat it was! pastu tibe2 nmpak mickey mouse (punye cousin) running for his (gross so i assume laki la) life! w d SBL tauke chasing after him w a (if i remember correctly) pink plastic broom ready to strike!

u can imagine d chaos w all d ladies screaming while sedare mickey ni ran over their feet. tu lah. nx time naik bookshelve w me ok? but seriously. i almost died! xtipu k.

apparently d rats moved in over the long CNY break n had a feast muching on the carpet and books. rats jd pandai kot dh mkn books. seems there were 3 n they were chasing after it all day since morning!

d 2 part time girls who worked there looked ready to pass out! dey sed~ dah xlarat kak dr pagi lari2 mcm ni! hahahaha!! ksian!!
