short update

selamat hari raya aidilfitri to all! it has been so long since i last logged in. and i miss blogging so much! the reasons i can afford to devote my time to blogging now is because i am currently on one week leave and another reason is because the OH is away in China for work. 

i really, really miss blogging so much, thats why the whole new template and all! Lol! anyhoos, our lebaran this year was awesome because we have a new member to the family - the OH! it was fun and chaotic at times, dividing our weekends to go visiting relatives and friends too! but it was worth every sweat i tell ya! and we took so many photos that i had a hard time uploading them one by one.

for this year raya, we didnt tailor our costumes. instead we recycled what we have. and a week to raya, i spotted a great sale of kurungs with songket going at 3 for $100! so i grabbed them - all in different colours! for me and the sisters! what a bargain!

and this year lebaran is also the first time that i get to meet the OH's relatives upclose and personal. we didnt get to go round for sembah-sembah after the wedding the other time as the OH was busy with his travels for work, so we made it up with the raya visiting. and we didnt manage to cover every single house as there wasnt much time. so we probably have to make it up again during next year's syawal then.

i would love to update about the awesome raya outing we had last weekend with the mutiara gang, but my dear husband had uploaded all the pics from the memory card to his laptop. and the laptop is with him in China too, so it'll have to be a belated post. :(

and i would want to update about what happened on monday soon! its something that i have secretly been doing these past months and monday was the final thing. what is that thing im talking about? you will find out in due course...hehe. but until then, im hush-ing.

right, so i guess i will keep you in suspense first as i catch up on my long-deserved sleep. been slogging in front of the pc perfecting my layout. my eyes are begging me to sleep already!

so till then! :)

*__*

writers block: that is what i am having right now. ironically, i have loads to share and update about. but i cant seem to put them in words except whatever that is being transcripted here. funny.

prior to logging into blogger, i was so sure that i would be able to write an interesting entry tonight. probably something fruitful. but as i stared at my pc here right now, nothing - null - seems to be processing in my brains right now. why??!! could i be suffering from boredom from blogging already?? i hope not. because i enjoy writing though i really do not know who else reads this blog esxcept for myself and my OH. haha.

so pardon me for this yet another boring entry from the soon-to-be boring blogger. but i will try my best to bring back the zest and passion that i had 6 years ago, when i was hype and about writing blogs.

because thats, the reason, for the existence of this new blog, after all. :)

busy as a bee

busy, busy, busy as a bee.
work, life, the OH.
busy, busy, busy as a bee.


this entry has no purpose actually.
just to inform the world that i am
busy, busy, busy as a bee.

conversion

as of yesterday, the 29.03.10, i have officially converted myself to a ZA two-way cake user! i succumbed to it, after my faithful years with M.A.C studio perfect. thanks to incessant boredom at work yesterday, which led me to read the whole of Her World March issue in a matter of 3/4 day (when i should have been working!).

yes. all 200+ pages! i have completed reading it. why waste my time doing nothing when i can indulge myself in the ooohs and aahhhhss of the current fashion faves? in any case, the magazine would be lying in the magazine racks, waiting to be devoured by hungry tai-tais or pesudo-fashionistas that come to the clinic, whilst waiting for their q-number to be called. tsk.tsk. i, might as well take the liberty by feeding my brain with the latest of fashion trends, right?

so, back to the ZA conversion, they were raving about how good a compact foundation this beauty is. and i just had to somehow try it. they had reviews from user, about how good it is able to cover pores and blemishes, and being lightweight as well. now, i itched, at the sight of the words "coverage" and "lightweight". and to console myself that i am doing the right thing, i sms-ed my sisters (who have been loyal users of the product), and asked them about the great-ness of the foundation. both of the sisters gave their thumbs up! my baby sister even mentioned that it is much better than MAC studio perfect - in terms of texture and pricewise!

with good ratings, and i personally tried it out with my BFF in tow, i got myself one, too! along with my BFF, who was influenced by me. so we are now the proud owners of ZA beauty two-way compact foundation.

i had the honour of using it full-fledged today for work, and it really covers up my pores and blemishes well. it also stayed throughout the whole day. its works!

and because my sisters, (even mom) and i are using the same foundation, to avoid confusion, i added crystal beads to my compact! LOL!

i am loving my ZA compact foundation! i know my OH and pocket would be very happy. because this cost half as much as MACs studioperfect! hehe.







on a totally different note:
i finally got my heart and mind to do this thing that i have long put off. i hope i have made the right decision. Ya Allah, bless me with this one. Amin.




PS: OH, i miss you so deadly much. come home safe and quick please! :(

flashback

right now, the place that i want to be is in the picture above. for that particular time, i felt free. not in the care in the world. i missed being in Graz. i missed the kind people whom have made me feel so warm and welcome in a foreign land to me, but home to them. i missed being away from the heavy burdens and stressors that pulled my weight to the ground.

whilst in that gorgeous land, i learnt how to appreciate Gods beautiful and magnificent creations. the gorgeous landscapes from the snowy mountains, the endearing sights of vast green spreads, acrossthe horizon....i missed them.

but most of all, i missed being there with you, and the other guys. i want to do it all over again. i want the freedom of enjoying our hot chocolates as we wait for the sundown. i missed the snowball fights. i missed running for the buses early in the morning. i missed bunking in the apartments. i missed everything about our trip.

i missed us.
