Ngeee

I'm still around :p.

Busy sangatlaa. Sangat busy. Ooooo...did I mentioned I was busy?!

Work has been tremendously overwhelming but I enjoyed every moment of it. I know. I am a freak of nature. Did fess up to my boss about this unexpected work load but the boss thinks that I complaint too much and that I am not grateful. I hate to say this. But it's true. He said that people give me work (a lot of it) because they trust me. And I should not complaint because this will dilute the trust. So true. So I had to fix my attitude. So now when people throw me things, I only smile and do the work patiently. Because I know, I always gain some valuable experience out of this and it's always good to learn. Hence, I've stopped complaining about work save for the busy part.

We celebrated Adel's birthday a couple of weeks ago. I was excited. As always. Remember Adel's birthday cake which I planned and ordered ages ago? The cake crumbled and collapsed as soon as I arrived home. It was painful. Although it tasted super good because it was peanut-butter and jelly, I had to find a new cake pronto. We went to Bisou, KLCC to acquire a new birthday cake. It was nowhere as perfect or tasty as the one that crumbled. But we just had to settle for it.

Our place was small so everyone cramped in the apartment. I kinda felt sorry to those who came. There weren't enough seating to the extend that people had to sit on the floor. We served penne arabiatta, sheperd's pie, bihun goreng, salad, chicken sandwiches, pavlova, brownies, oreo cheese cupcakes and some other goodies. The event was overall OK and I think Adel enjoyed himself. Despite not having time to sleep during daytime, Adel managed to entertained his guests at night with his antics. Love him. Love him to bits. We had customized jars with jelly drops, ADEL cookies and cupcakes for the adult's door-gifts and we gave alphabet books to babies. I've uploaded pics on my fb btw.

Can't believe my baby is 1. He has grown so big and naughty. He jumps a lot. Runs a lot. Cries when I say "No". But even that, he still manages to melt my heart. Love kissing his neck every morning sebab sangat masam! Oooh Adel..what do I do without you? Seriously.

Hubby pon busy jugak sekarang. He's always off to Kemaman and Lumut every week. It's a pain in the ass really. Not having to see him and having to do everything myself. I do appreciate the bonding time spent with Adel but I still need support. I need hubby around. I cannot do this by myself. I hope YOU are reading this. Although the pay is good and all, is it really worth it?

Oooo..new development, the landlord text hubby yesterday morning. He wants us to move out in 2 months time. WTH. We've done so much to the place and now we have to move out. Apparently the landlord's son wants to move in after getting married. In the meantime, we nomads must find us a new place. I don't mind moving but it's just exhausting, kan? What more since we've done so much to the place. Bloody annoying I tell you. The rent in that area is also mind-blowing. Bloody expensive. How-la? 

Went out last Thursday night to a dinner party with UIA friends to celebrate Shuey! Because she's getting married like next week. I ordered some exquisite cupcakes with "boobies" and "birds" as the main feature. I think it was funny but some did find it repulsive. Ada aku kesah? Hehe. But we had a good time that night and I've missed a lot of friends gatherings so was very thankful for this gathering. To Shuey, many congratulations! No advises, sorry. Because I'm still figuring out my own marriage :p  

So this is what happened to Adel, hubby and I for the past couple of days. You can sense from this post that I am far from thrilled about life at this moment in time :(.

*sigh*

Cuhrazee

I've been unfaithful to my blog. LOL! I just felt like typing that!

Oklah, I've been super busy. So what's new kan? What more with hubby's new work which requires him to travel a lot, I have a lot on my plate now. It's like I'm biting more than I can chew.

My little champ's birthday is like NEXT WEEK. I am super excited. He's finally one! I had a fantastic time with Adel during hubby's absence. It's like I really bonded with him. He'd lepak next to me when we watch the telly, play around the kitchen area while I cook, nod when asked "Nak shushu tak?", nestled around my neck when dozing off - he's just super cute! We have also started brushing his teeth! Yang, at current, ada tujuh batang tuh! It all started on one fine morning when I was bathing him. We would normally chat on how warm he'd like his bath to be, sekali tuh, when he opened his mouth, it smelled funny and err..stinky! I immediately told hubby and we bought him his very first Oral-B toothbrush and Kodomo Lion apple toothpaste. Aiyoo, anak bujang aku sorang nih!

His party is well on it's way. My sister is helping a lot especially for decorations. The menu should be sorted out soon. The invites was just sent out just now via sms. It's a small party which will be celebrated with close friends and relatives. Am not expecting a lot of guests. Maybe 20 plus-ish. And the apartment is small and cramped, it cannot accommodate huge crowds. So takpelah, nanti dia kawen, I'll try to make the event bigger than mine, LOL!

Little Old Me

I am apologetically down with fever and flu today. Actually,since yesterday but I braved the office for not wanting to miss my outgoing boss' farewell lunch. But this bravery has taken it's toll. I needed a complete rest. So I spent the whole day at home, alone, going off to the clinic, sleeping and eating. It did me some good. Hubby sent Adel to my sisters' in Cheras. Felt a little guilty about sending him there when I could've taken care of him myself but I needed my rest badly. I also, weirdly enough, missed the office and all its busy-ness. But am now dreading the thought of going there tomorrow because I know there's a gazillion of stuff to be done *hangs head*.

Anyhoo, was in PD for the weekend with hubby's office mates. I think PD is overrated. Period. It's starting to get to me. It's so crowded and homogenized. Maybe because it's near to KL so people thinks it's convenient to go for holidays there. Hubby's office mates however were a bunch of happy-go-lucky doers, lol! Had a great time there and there were plenty of food. But I had already been feeling under the weather then so despite the excitement of seeing all the magnificent food, I actually nibbled rather than the customary face stuffing.

Adel is clear from roseola and he is seriously re-charged after all those medical episodes. He is so so so lasak and hyperactive! He never fails to amaze me, which is good but I can no longer keep up with him. He does everything in split seconds! I'm just exhausted thinking about him now, lol! In 2 days time he'll turn 10 months and that's 2 months shy from his first birthday!! Must resume with his birthday plans. I've left that idle for too long now. The only development I have now is the venue. Well, not development per se because we're still thinking of whether to have it at the pool house or cramped in our sardine packed apartment. Both has its pros and cons. But am only expecting 40 guests exclusive of kids. Hmmmmm...what do you think? 

2 weeks shy from 2011. I hate the fact that there aren't many public holidays this month as opposed to December last year. Grrrrrr...more time in the office which is so not good for little old me. But am looking forward to 1 January 2011 though! Going off to Melaka for dinner at Umbai with my daddy and dearest sister and BIL. Am especially looking forward to sotong goreng tepung, lol! Also, a huge commitment beckons me in 2011! I'll keep this as a secret for the time being. And no, not talking about promotion though it wouldn't hurt to have good bonuses and increment too. After all, the No. 1 did say that he is happy with my progress and my work *gloats in a bubble*.

Alright, must call it a day now. Need some sleep for tomorrow will be another long day...at the office *slaps head*.

Night!

Adel's BPP No. 4

I emailed one of the prospective cookie maker for cookies for one of the adult's party favor last Friday. She replied that it's tooooooooooooooooooooooooo early for me to place an order since it's for February 2011 and told me to write in a week prior to the delivery! *laughs hysterically*

I know! It's early. Too early actually, but can you blame me for being uber excited? Honestly, this is just the beginning. Imagine if Adel was getting married? *imagining*

Hmmmm...maybe I should start planning the wedding now *evil laugh*! 

Adel's BPP No. 3

Got an email for one of the party favor for the adults with various templates design this morning. I had several to choose from. They all looked cute and kiddy but only one thing irked me a little - they misspelled Adel's name *sigh*. Ah well, it's just samples anyway. 

See how easily I can overreact?? Haha.  

Emailed them for necessary amendments and other few adjustments. Hopefully it should turn out alright *fingers crossed*.

Also, I changed my mind on the flavor of the birthday cake. I originally wanted something "different" but I later found out that such "difference" was seriously "different". I don't know whether I could handle that for I might possibly be blamed for the "difference" in the future. I'm not making sense, right? Never mind, I'll tell you when the day comes :p.

I've also added other food on the menu. Hubby smiled obligingly knowing that I can still change my mind up till the 11th hour. Hehe.

Adel's BPP No. 2

Owhhhh noooooooooooooo.

My fave cookie maker is hanging her cookie apron as of this month.

Which means she will not be making one of the items for the adult's party favor for Adel's birthday party.

She made Adel's party favor for his cukur jambul earlier this year. It was superb. It was  beautifully done. And the taste, it was like you've tasted the best cookie ever. Just look at it for crying out loud!

 

I am sad.

I am beyond sad. 

I am devastated.

Will cry later.

On the plus side, I have gotten confirmation for the birthday cake order. So yay!

But will still mope for the loss of those wonderfully crafted cookies :(

Adel's BPP No. 1

The abbreviation above stands for Birthday Party Plans ;p.

I have started placing orders for the birthday cake and some party favors. Am still waiting for a reply for the birthday cake and have already received a reply for one of the items for the party favor. FYI, there will be two types of party favor to cater to both adults and babies. The adults will receive 3 items and babies will receive 1.

Have bought materials for the invitation card yesterday. Yes, you got that right. The invites will be hand made. I will make them :)

I have finally pinned down the theme for the party. As of today, the theme is a cross between rainbow and polka dots, lol! I might just incorporate both themes together.

I'm trying to make the party inexpensive as possible. Money is always an issue and our pockets are not that deep. Suffice to say that the party, though inexpensive, ought to be a memorable one. After all, you're only 1 once in a lifetime. And although Adel won't be able to remember his first birthday party, I do not want to disappoint him! I'm sure he'd appreciate it when he looks at the pictures once he's old enough to understand.

Party food will be prepared by yours truly. This is a challenge :) I plan to cook all hubby's fave dishes and hopefully my sister would lend a helping hand. Come to think of it, can't wait to cook and prepare all those dishes!! Bring it on! Haha. I'm crazy like that ;p

The party is set in February 2011. I know, another 4 months. But I want everything to be perfect!  

So okay, more updates to come!!
