Ramadhan staycay

 

This was rather a last minute plan. For the long wkend. 
Went to staycay at mom’s and it’s truly a staycay!
Just look at our shopping loots!
Went to Ikea, Nitori then bro brought us to Istana Kuih.
West to East back to West then went to sis’ place and back to mom’s. Penat ye!

Then today I realised that I’ve forgotten to see tops yesterday. So dragged mom the husb and the kid wanted to come along and ketuk his dad books when I only asked them to grab a dictionary. Siap with encyclopaedia sekali dia borong. Glad that I could buy mom that top cos can’t remember when was the last time I bought her something for herself. ❤️

Spring cleaning



Finally I got to organise my vanity corner.
Kesian eh don’t even have a proper table and chair but Alhamdulillah for this little space. And I also finally put up our 10 year old framed wedding photo.
Husband belom tengok lagi ni. Haha.
Still loves my Line Bear specs holder which the husb gotten me definitely more than 10 years ago.
The middle wooden tray filled with my daily essentials such as my Native deo, serums, body mists and Dior perfume. A couple of loose buttons too. 😂


This drawer used to store cotton pads but I’ve decided to arrange my lip balms, lip sticks and lip maximisers.
Didn’t know I had these many and haven’t include those loose ones in my bag or my dining table. Heh.
So I guess no more buying of anything lip stuff. 
Though I was already aiming for some Korean lip tints la lip stains la. 


This is the first drawer. Some cash, make-up essentials such as foundations, loose powder, eyebrow pencils, 1 precious brush. The left tray made up of skincare. 
Toner, serums, moisturizers.
And those messssy standing tiny bottles were free samplesssss from Chanel la, Fresh and mostly from Sephora purchases. Especially online eh. You get to redeem many many free samples.
And that mini ziplock too, filled up with more samples which are useful for travels or staycays.


Second drawer is made up of pouches (YES! They’re free too! Loves the CD especially!), make-up tools like my extra sponges, blenders and my newly bought make-up remover wipes. Thanks to my annoying neighbour who sent me room tour pics last night and somehow motivated me to clean up this erm not so tiny space of mine! 1 tiny corner done for spring cleaning!🧹

Rupa-rupanye

 

It’s amazing, Masha Allah.
How Allah’s plans work out for you. 
And that now as years gone by, Allah indeed shows why you didn’t end up with someone else. The ones that didn’t make it. I’m beginning to understand why it happened or why it didn’t happened. 🥹

Hands up

 Not sure if this is accurate but someone has been reading my old old posts. Could be some new strangers who’ve found my blog entries interesting. 
Sampai yang dahulu kala semua eh.
Most likely orang perempuan la cos men don’t really bothered nak membaca. Eh. 

Fasting slowly taking a toll on me.
Mata makin kelat ye nak bukak for sahur. 
Ni belom sch resumes lagi. 
For now, just looking forward to 1st iftar with the family later today. 


Can’t wait for the rest of the buds to bloom. Then the bff asked if they will become fruits after that. 🤔

Mainan tidur

 Fasting means my day starts at 4ish in the morning.
So sleep gets earlier. 
Like 10+ da takle tahan.
Well, I did tahan till almost 11 last night then I had a weird dream that he kissed me on my forehead.
A P A K A H
Terbangun then saw it’s only 12.41am.
Eh mimpi so sekejap ar?

Sec sch bestie

 

This was the bff who’s been there through my ups and downs. We almost fought about someone but she cleared it up and glad we made it through the tests of time. 
We even went for a girls’ trip to her kampung over at Melaka when we were teens. And by train no less. 
And remember those times without hp, I had to call her home and her fierce mom would pick up and questioned me seriously. Though we rarely lepak cos she works 7 days a week, she still msg me at odd hours. And about random stuff. 

Today was impromptu and she spent half of her leave day with me, bringing me a pot of flowers and melvados goodies. Yums. Super grateful and blessed that I have my pri sch, sec sch, poly BFFs with me till this day. 

Bismillah to our 1st sahur tmr.

1 Ramadan 1445H

Light’s up.
 

Every Ramadan feels heavy because of what happened 15 years ago but this time a little heavier than usual.
The fact that Mom’s getting old yet she’s strong willed to make all her favourites. 🥹 
And every Ramadan I’ll think a little more of those who’ve left. 🤍

That Ex-Steady

Warning: Long update ahead! Tak ya la nak baca. 

It was such a morning drama, shock, jantung mcm nak putus right after breakfast. We had bf as usual, okla tak usual sgt cos we normally travelled far to have good bf but yest we went to the nearest wout taking any bus.
Singgah kedai murah lagi to grab nuggets, pasar to grab bawang then went into NTUC.
Saw a guy in helmet, thinking, ‘Sapalah ni pepagi masuk ntuc pakai helmet, takle ke bukak dulu jap.’ 

Alangkah terpranjat eh bila kenal pulak wajah tu.
Laaaaaaaaa, nak lari also cannot. Cos da bertentangan so had to stare him in the face. He glanced once then twice and realised eh eh mcm kenal eh? Hahaha.
He smiled and aku pun sengih mcm kerang busuk pepagi hari. Terus huru hara eh nak pilih fishcake pun da takle fikir straight. 

After trying to compose myself, I went to make payment. Laaaaa masih la dia kat situ tengah bayar juga. 
Tetap dengan helmet. 
So kena la kan tegur and asked bini mana?
After he’s done with payment, masih la tercegat kat seblah and interrogated me. I avoided eye contact at all costs. Hah. 

Panjang ye intro. So I bumped into my ex-steady (tak tau yang keberapa and yang berapa lama) in my hood. I knew he was staying like a few bus stops away from me and I saw his wife a few times already but never tegur la. 
Saw them once in the mall and I hid. Heh. He was so shocked la to see me apalagi dekat dengan rumah dia. Kesian kan, baru tahu. Haha. When all along I knew so much about him. 

Anyways, the only vivid memory of me was he said that I left him halfway last time on our date. Apakah.
Felt guilty much eh. So sempat la semlm minta maaf. Hahahahahahahaha. Couldn’t help but laughed out loud alone at home remembering those times. 
But he’s forgotten (tak baik eh) that the last I met him was back in Nov 2009 for a meal and he accompanied me in getting sis’ presie. Thanks to my blog cos I updated it in. Otherwise I would have forgotten too. Haha.
 Just before I went official with my husb.

 Had a chat with him after the meet-up semalam because I was using Aku Kau eh with him. Aku Kau is for those who’re close to me but he deserves the respect of not being Aku Kau. Heh. Kesian, dahla terkejut nampak ex-steady dia, terus kena Aku Kau lagi. 

The last time I had this fuzzy pening kekek feeling was that I bumped into my senior and dia memandai gurau with my Mom that if not, I wld have been his gf last time. Pls la dia da la kawin dgn my sedara. 
Nak gurau kasar lak. Ggggrrrr

So this ex-steady of mine (haha), we were like 17 eh last time. So imagine la how long ago it was. How awkward it is now. Freaking 24yrs ago. Betulnye takde jodoh eh. Haha. Cos after all that, we met again about 10 years later. And met again after almost 15 years later. 
Dia masih ar tak percaya we’ve crossed 40 now. 
And tak percaya ar I knew so much (kinda updated) about him too. While he doesn’t even know I’m in the same hood with him.

Scary if some of my acquaintances knew so much about me when I’m not updated about them. And even scarier if they see me outside yet I never see them. Even though they could be right in front of you. Cos my sec sch bestie saw me recently and I didn’t even realised she was there. Haha.

And I believe these guys don’t read my blog la so these are really for my reference in the future. And memories. 
Of course those highly confi and highly emo ones will be entered into my physical diary instead. Of cos la I told the husb also abt the accidental meet-up. He’s totally lost! And even told me I was evil for leaving him (the ex-steady) halfway.

I appreciate those still much around in my life, close or not. For sure there’s a reason or 2 for them to be sticking around still. Allah knows best. 


And these. Contemplated much to restock my skincare for Raya though there’s discounts. Then online suddenly da oos. Went to the store today and they have stocks and I even got that ceramic mug for free, unexpectedly. And that pink mirror, my best gf got it for me. ❤️

8 days to

 Ramadhan.
The month which there’ll be no social gathering, minimise chatting, no breakfast dates. Hopefully I could manage to khatam my Quran reading for this year. 





The past few weekends have been filled with bday invites and meet-up. Alhamdulillah. 
It’s our 1st time to W Sentosa too.
Woah dia punya secluded even deeper than my very 1st house. Thankfully we got a Grab home easily. 
Party was full of pretty deco and plenty of yummy food.
Guess this coming week shall be a cooling down time for social gatherings. Need to shift focus and prep the house early for Ramadhan. Insha Allah.

Thirty-four

 

Yeap. That’s how long our friendship has been.
Beyond grateful for having these besties sticking by through tests of time. Today’s meet up for my bday. 
Filled with good food and so much fun. 


Probably the 1st time ever in my life that my ezlink has insufficient value. Thankfully I had small change in my purse. Alhamdulillah. Cannot imagine the heart pain if I were to have $10 instead.
