daddys birthday treat part I

dear OH,

whilst you were away, we celebrated daddys birthday. together with bibiks family, we headed across the causeway. but before that, we made a brief stop to bishan where i collected my KS bag from dear blogger friend, Lina. and i finally, finally get to meet her and her umairahs in persons! such adorable tots they are! the bag is so beautiful and i cant wait to use it, maybe for our next weekend getaway? :)

from bishan we then proceeded to jaybee where the first stop was the infamous goreng-pisang-by-the-roadside-stall. that was supposed to be our lunch because we were saving our tummies for something better. after filling our tummies, we headed to jusco tebrau just to kill time until dinner.

group photo at jusco. missing in action was paman and fidah, who took this photo for us.
can you see my swollen cheeks?

 

but we didnt stay long there, as mom suggested to go to the pasar tani near larkin, with the excuse so that daddy and paman can wash their cars! lol. again, at the pasar tani, we bought food. its irresistable, especially the fried leher ayam that amirul were unwilling to try, but eventually succumbed to.

and then, after spending about almost two hours at the pasar tani, we finally headed to our intended destination!

 



sunset at senibong



does this scene look familiar to you? yes! we went to senibong to have seafood. daddys birthday treat. and it was awesome!



sunset. gorgeous aint it?






the weather was very kind to us. we had a great time there. and we ordered these among some other items.



tomyam seafood soup

 


steamed fish

 

black pepper crabs

   

the black pepper crabs look tempting right? too bad for me i dont eat crabs and i couldnt eat them if i want to, also because of my jaws. i was unable to open my jaws too wide thanks to the surgery. :(

you were missed by all of us. wished you were there with us to enjoy the scrumptious spread we had. but its okay, babe, we will go again when youre back from your sailing trip alright? that'll be daddys birthday treat part II! on another note, daddy received a literally very big present today! but the present will only be realised next week. can you already guess it? he was very happy about it and i am so happy that i made him happy with his gift. =D

OH, we miss you terribly. come back soon ok!

PS: we visited your mum after the op just now. alhamdullillah everything went well. she was jovial when we arrived and i thank Allah for protecting her. :)

manic saturday!

update about my swelling:-

it has gone done! hoooooraaaaaayyyyyy! but there is some water retention just in the lower part between the jawline and neck which makes me look like i have double chins! but perhaps, maybe, they ARE my double chins considering that i have been eating and not exercising since aidilfitri! :(

but on another note, i hoped that my weight has somehow descend due to the incessant pain i have if i open my jaws too big - which means, less food intake! BUT that is just an assumption. i havent been able to brave myself for reality check on the weighing scale, though. that'll be a dfferent story altogether, IF that happens!

so, back to the swelling, since it has subsided, i decided to take up the last minute makeup job by my teacher. its for a 21st birthday party celebration, and i was tasked to make the mother of the birthday girl up. last minute, because, the intended makeup artist (henceforth known as MUA) backed out at the very crucial hour! thank god, i didnt have any plans otherwise, my poor teacher"ll have a headache looking for a replacement. so back to the swelling again...i was ecstatic actually, to be able to go out of the house. and so i made myself up, applying what-nots on my face, my subsided swollen face. it hurt a little bit though, whilst i was brushing my foundation on the swelling area, but then the pain lasted mere seconds, so i didnt worry about it too much.

but as i got on the train to the destination, i began to get stares or weird looks from strangers. and then i began to feel conscious about the swell. however, when i met my teacher, she didnt say anything at all about my face, so i presumed that the strangers in the train were either staring past me or they were just surprised to see a super chubby person?! lol.

the make up job went well by the way. my teacher and client was more than impressed with my work, and i was happy to be of such good service them. unfortunately i didnt have any pictures of my work, because the clients were rushing to the party avenue. nevertheless, it felt great! to be able to be part of the event and to achieve satisfaction for the client. insyallah, this'll make me even more motivated to strive better.

after the job, i got home and mum asked me if i wanted to tag along with her and the baby sister to tampines central for some shopping. i did. first stop was BHG, as mum wanted to get the handbag that she had, apparently, surveyed in the afternoon! and it cost her about 160 dollars. then we went to Isetan, and then we saw many more handbags on sale, and there was this one Braun Büffel bag that we both liked and it was slashed to 50%!! mum grew excited. but i forbade her to get it. lol. and i thought i am a wors shopaholic! but then probably it runs in the genes.


we then proceeded to guardian, but not before i stopped by Shu Uemura and got myself the eyelash curler. it cost a bomb for a curler but i understand why - its super good!! amazing!! even mum (who was my model) was impressed! i say, that's a good investment!


at guardian, it was another tempat puaka (haunted place) as we spent again! i got a mascara and liquid liners whilst mom got herself an expensive skincare product!! my mum was on a rampage!! OMG! but thank god we were able to redeem these with vouchers my daddy got from his company. (thank you daddy!)


so, my saturday had been awesome, cant wait for sunday as daddy'll be bringing us to eat seafood! (sorry, OH, you cant get to join us! we'll make it up to you when you get back, alright?)


hope you guys had a terrific weekend so far! :)

lovely saturday

my saturday was spent with the loves of my life - the squammies - watching a midnight movie. the movie we watched was the lovely bones. my take on the movie; it was good as it was directed by peter jackson, the genius behind the lord of the rings trilogy. however, my friends (who had the opportunity to read the book prior to the movie) mentioned that some of the scenes vary from the chapters of the book. in fact, they claimed that the book bears a more heartwrenching feeling to the reader, compared to the movie itself.

the movie showcasted a familiar array of stars, like mark wahlberg, rachel weisz and susan sarandon. i wont spoil on the synopsis, but since the movie was set in the 70's, it felt hippy-ish! after the movie, my friends and i were gushing over the hippy-ness of the movie, as it was supposedly to be a serious movie!

i think i may want to grab the book and read it myself, for me to appreciate the movie more. :)

anyways, after the movies (which was almost 3am!) we headed to simpang bedok to satisfy out hungry bellies. i didnt have much - just prata. its the company that matters. i missed my friends and i was glad we all took the time off to be with each other. i hear another date this public holiday, you all? ;P

monday is making its way soon, and i have kicked my procastination to iron my clothes in the morning. instead i did it just now, waaaaayyyyyyy before i rooted my self in front of the pc! personal achievement i must say! haha!

i dont usually look forward to monday, but considering that i will be meeting my dudettes after work tomorrow, i am all excited, man! please, God, let my Monday be a peaceful one, with less or no irritating patients, ya!

till then.

ps: OH, you were badly missed by the ST. they were asking about you. how are you doing today? i hoped the weather there is treating you good. come home soon, sweetheart! i am in agony, without u! :(

the weekends are here

its the weekends and i am so looking forward to spend the day with my OH. we are going to a chalet in east coast to celebrate the birthdays of OHs two friends, Fadil and Ema. i cant wait! i cant wait!

pictures will be up soon!
