marah sangat

we finally found a new place to rent last week. we have paid 2+1 months rent deposit and 1/2 month utilities deposit. we'll be moving in this weekend. and for the record, this new place is like the last place on earth i would want to live in. but rents in Setiawangsa are just ridiculous. terpaksa. RM1,800 for an apartment?! oklah, condo. but seriously. WTH. the current place costs me rm1,200 per mense which to me is affordable. but rm1,800? that's a big difference ok. and this is only rent. houses nowadays are over-priced. melampau. at this rate, i will never afford to buy a house. maybe if we had found a better place elsewhere i won't moan as much. because this new place of ours is just crap. i hate it. i hate it so much. i dunno whether i can live in it but seriously. i hate it a lot.

we're planning on saving so we could afford a house next year. but if houses are rm800k-rm900k. memang taklah! with the new scheme that the govt has introduced, it only helps those of lower income. what about those middle income earners? kena menyewa je ke? nothing is done by the govt to monitor this outrageous pricing. something should be done. nak suruh orang merempat ke? takkan nak menyewa seumur hidup? even sub-sales are over-priced. maybe it's the location. i dunno. eeeeeee. marah sangat!!!

change

Felt like changing the blog's design and template.

This design here is more appealing to my eyes than the former one.

Hope it would motivate me to write more.

As for updates, we have not found a new place to rent yet. We're still sad and depressed because we have to let go of the current one. 

Sangat. Kecewa. Dan. Menyedihkan.

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*

Happy Birthday Adel Mikail!

Dear Adel,

I remembered clearly how your daddy and I felt when we held this in our hands:

Positive!

Excited? Happy? Doubtful? We thought of everything because we were unsure of life. We were unsure of ourselves.

But this is what you turn out to be:

Khusyuk watching Astro Oasis

You turn out all right for a one year old, kan? LOL!

And it all happened in one year and nine months! 

Allah has definitely blessed us with a handsome-looking angel!

And today sayang, you are officially one! Mummy remembered giving birth to you as if it was yesterday. You are worth every cries and pain (so mummy took epidural - I would have tahan the pain for you anyhow you know :p). There are no words that can describe the enormity of love we have for you. You are everything to us.

Happy Birthday to you!

Loads of love,

Mummy and Daddy xx
