BATAM

Hey people!!!
I am back!
From a short but very much needed getaway with the other half.
Wow! After more than 2 months, I finally got 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep.
Sorry Ryan. Much as I love you, I've missed my sleep. Haha!

Back to the holiday.
We initially wanted to stay at Holiday Inn, but since it was fully booked, Planet Holiday it was then.
I like both places, so it was not a problem.

We didn't do much the first day. Shahreil wasn't feeling well the whole trip, so most of the time we were in the room. Him sleeping and me channel surfing.
Sounds boring huh? But NO!
I had a ball of a time surfing all the Indo channels. It was Peterpan galore!
TPI had 30 minutes of Ariel Special (WAH!!), SCTV had 1.5hr of Peterpan in Concert, and another talkshow at night which had Peterpan as their guest star! I nearly went crazy infront of the tv!

After so many months, I got to catch all their gossip shows again.
Hot stories of the moment:
a) Suzanna Sundal Bolong Family Feud over her will. (you didn't even know she passed away recently, right?)
b) Indra Bruggman & Betrand gay-ish pics (What a waste of 2 really super hot guys in the world, if the story is true! I'm here Indra! I am here! I will save you! I will save you!)
c) Some old man who married a 12 year old girl and already lining up a 7 and 9 year old girls to be his new wives. Bloody perv!

And I love their reality shows such as Playboy Kabel where girlfriends trap their miang boyfriends. They have pretty young things to ngurat their boyfriends and witness what happens. Paling best, the last part where the girlfriends come out to confront their cheating boyfriends. Most of the boyfriends got very aggresive when they realise that they've been trapped on national tv. Kengkadang kesian gak tengok dorang dimalukan macam tu. Then, there's Bedah Rumah that has never failed to make me cry. It's about home makeovers, just like Designer Guys and Debbie Travis.. but the difference here is that it's done to homes of totally poor and melarat families. Kesian betol tgk kehidupan dorang tau. Ada macam-macam lagi lah reality shows yang best-best. Malas nak citer suma.



We didn't go Mustika Ratu this time round. We decided to check out the hotel's spa. Not bad. The price is rather cheap also. But Mustika Ratu more puas somehow... Tapi takperlah.. as long as I get my body scrub, my body massage, my steam bath, my facial... Im happy..

Most importantly, I get to spend some quality time with the hubby. Time which we seldom have ever since the arrival of the little one. It felt good to be able to talk about other things other than milk, diapers, next doctor appointment dan perkara-perkara yang sewaktu dengannya. But I don't think we'll do something like this again anywhere in the near future. We missed the little boy too much to really enjoy ourselves. I just can't wait to bring him along for our next holiday!

Oklah.. I am super tired. Besok dah start keje. *sigh*
And I left my bag at Tampines. So, I can't upload any pics.

Happy 19th Birthday, Aini!

B'day girl with Mahathir & Suhaimi

B'day girl with Mira & Diyana

B'day girl with me & Shahreil

B'day girl with ibu & Cik Leh .. eh! Wait a minute! That's AYAH!

B'day Girl: Nuraini Mohamad Born 23 October 1989

This year, I decided to treat Aini to a spa session for her birthday.

Lucky for me, I realised that that's what she wanted when I read her blog a few weeks back.

Well, I hope she did enjoy the 3 hour plus facial + massage session at Dlight Spa.

And I hope she won't get addicted to it, like I did.

Now I cant live without the constant pampering..

Well, for those of you who are interested, you might want to check out the spa.

Here's the webby: www.dlightspa.com.sg

It's a small but very cosy place in Punggol.

Since its only a bus stop away from my workplace, I usually go there after work to destress.

And I prefer going to smaller less known shops like this as they are waaaaaaaayyyyyyy cheaper but the services provided are on par and sometimes much better than well-known ones.

Plus, you do not have to make an appointment months ahead and can walk in as and when you feel like having someone knead you like a dough.

So far, my experiences at Dlight Sa have been pleasant.

The customer service is tip top (unlike some places that I've been too that's downright sucky. Nak kasi bisnes kat bangsa sendiri pun susah!)

And I appreciate the fact that they always come out with new promos & never fail to email & sms me about them.

So, yup..do visit them peeps!

Dunmanites Beraya Lagi

We had the yearly ritual of visiting each other's house. I have known these girls for more than a decade. The group is not so complete though. There's the ever missing Malah, and Hajar who has been whisked off to a faraway country by a handsome Zoolander..oopps salah... New Zealander.


Our other halves...


Bakal pengantin. Haaa.. Ryan, ko peluk lah Mummy Yan tu puas-puas. Nanti dia dah ada baby sendiri, tak merasa lagi nak manja-manja dengan dia.

Susah dapat tau pic raya berdua-duaan macam ni sejak ada baby. Ni pun kelam kabut, tak sempat nak sembunyikan baby carrier and diaper bag. *sigh* Tapi boleh jerlah daripada tak ada langsung!

Happy 2nd Month, Ryan Iskandar.

Dearest Ryan,

I have a present for you.
Check it out!

Lots of Love,

Salam Lebaran 2008 with Shahreil's Gang

Ryan Iskandar & Raoul Ashraf (betul ke spelling?) Oh oh... I can foresee that in subsequent raya outings, the two Yatis will be running around screaming like madwomen.

And Nabirul, being the oldest of the lot... will be the gang leader.

Rosyam, Mawi & Sheqal
KL Drift ke ni?
The compulsory group photo..

The new parents.


Initially, I was afraid that this year's raya outing with the guys will turn out not so awesome. Yelah..kalau anak aku nangis tak habis-habis camne nak enjoy kan? But fortunately, Ryan was rather well-behaved that day, minus the one screaming session on the way to Lin's house. To be honest, I really pitied the little one as his sleep was constantly disturbed during the many Raya outings. But like what Shahreil said, it's only during Raya .. So I guess it's ok huh? I'm not being a bad parent right?

ANd I was definitely glad that I went for the outing as I got to listen to the other moms' complains as well. So, I really am not alone. I thought it was just me. But apparently all of us have the same post natal blues. I feel so much better after that.

Raya outings usually make me realise how we've all grown. Dulu naik bas sewa ramai-ramai, bercouple-couple.. Lepas tu, naik motor and bertunang-tunang. But now naik kereta and most of us are married with kids in tow. Hahah.. Dah tua eh??

Salam Lebaran 2008 with the not-so-little darlings of Punggol

Ex-Punggolites. Dah besau-besau ye? Tak lama lagi berangkut dengan anak-anak kot...

Another year of being serbu-ed by the kids. Not that I mind. In fact, I always look forward to having them during the festive season. The difference this year, I had to squeeze all of them to only 1 day! Reason being, I didnt have the heart to make them travel all the way to Bukit Batok, so I told them that they were welcome to come to my Tampines house last Friday. And they came full force, non-stop from 1 pm all the way till 8.30. Unfortunately, I had to say no to all those who wanted to come after 8pm as I myself nak go beraya.

Tapi takpe, there's always next year right , kiddos??

So, here are the random pics. Enjoy!

First Date

Ohh kaayyy.. it's obviously NOTour first date, but it sure felt like one. It's been ages since we last went on a date. Can't blame me for feeling a little excited. Dressed up nice-nice, wore high heels, waaahhh... best nyer!
And it's been so super duper long since we last had a decent conversation over a nice meal. Tak payah rush sana, rush sini..

Feeling matair2.... Mentel juwel betullah! Dulu belum kahwin berangan dah kahwin. Ni dah kahwin berangan matair.

Walau apa pun.. I feel good!

What is SYAWAL?

Hey everyone! It's me again! My ibu is too exhausted to blog. She said that i am the cause of her exhaustion. Bah! Don't listen to her nonsense. My abah and I never do anyway..

Before I forget, SELAMAT HARI RAYA! I heard everyone saying that for the past 1 week. Being young and impressionable, I HAVE to say it too! Not that I know what is Hari Raya anyway. Nobody tells me. No one tells kids like me anything. They think we are just cute but dumb. *sigh*

SO... I did some observing. And here's what I think Hari Raya is all about.

First.. FORGIVENESS. I think everyone is supposed to say sorry for all their wrong doings. But what is puzzling me right now is this picture where abah and mak ngah said sorry to on another. You asked me why? DUH! They are like cats and dogs! They irritate each other every single day! And they were on each other's nerves right BEFORE and AFTER this photo was taken.

Second, i think it's about new clothes. Everyone said I looked really good in this baju made by my nyai. Thanks Nyai! And everyone else had new clothes on too.. And, I'd like to add that despite what she said, I think my ibu still looks so gorgeous in all her baju raya. She especially looked real hot in that red kebaya. Pheeewwwwiiiitttt!!
Third... I think Hari Raya also means cute little thing like me get passed around by people I've never ever seen in my life. (nevermind that it's been only 2 mths) Oh, no! THis lady here, I know. She's my Cik Mas. Ibu said I must be extra nice to her cos she's a potential nanny for me whenever my ibu and abah wants to go out on dates. In this photo, I'm trying my best to give her my puppy eyes look. I hope it's working!!!

Lastly! It;s about MONEYYYYYYYYY. Ka-ching!!! This photo explains it all...

*Yawn* All these thinking as made me sleepy. I go sleep okay!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA EVERYONE!
