Sorry neighbours...

When I'm not at home, my neighbours must have been very happy.
WHY?

Because I've been watching Jurassic Park 1,2 and 3 for the past 2 days.
With the full blast PIONEER surround sound system, the more I love 'em.
Certain times, I feel my crib shaking.

Hehehe......
If you can't go to the movies, you bring the movies to your home!

Lipat baju? nanti dulu....

After 3 days, I cannot tahan anymore. I must write. I have less free time to relax on my sofa for the past few days. Now, I feel like writing.I must talk to my blog. Especially when Habibi is busy with his 'duties' and that makes me miss him like crazy. CRAZY!! I'm trying to distract myself here for a while.

This morning, me and a few colleagues went to visit our staff's accomodation somewhere in USJ. I thought it was a normal apartment - I was wrong!


We were welcomed by a pair of baby elephants.


The gym...hmmm...it has an open concept gym; faces the open area where the swimming pools and the children playground are.
The garden terraces - really, really nice and windy. It is suitable for organising functions. Especially at night. Maybe I could borrow this place to celebrate my birthday. (hint..hint...Habibi)
The swimming pool from 12th floor.


The masterbedroom and its attached bathroom. A colleague who is going to get married this Sept commented, " Wow! Can I have this place? I'm getting married soon". Well, I guess during the 1st 2 years of your marriage, it is still cool. Masuk 5 tahun? 10 tahun? All the 'shapes' changes. Silap haribulan by the 5th year you want the glass to be painted! Hehehe.....We had lunch at the cafe downstairs. Do they really call 'telur mata kerbau/lembu' as bulls eye ?

And remember this new home of mine?

CURRENTLY it looks like this:
I know, I know. I have to release my stress first before start folding my clothes. And all those other junks? They are going to dissapear by this Saturday evening because the contractor is going to install my new hallway and kitchen cabinets during the day! Yipppiiiee......And I can store the junks away..

What I've been up to for the past few days

1) Preparing my new home. Busy moving, unpacking and arranging. At the moment, only the living room is complete and I have totally moved in!


2) Bringing the kids to Ches*ire Home in Selayang. It is part of their learning process. I just love the look on the residents there when they see us - we are like family to them :-)

3) On Sunday, my family organised a 'kenduri and makan2' session for my cousins who just got married 2 months ago. With all the good food and company, not mentioning my aunties who kept asking me what do I want to eat and they will cook it, there goes my diet program (perasan macam ada ). We had satay, otak-otak, ayam berempah, kerabu sare and bakso.






4) And today, when I arrived at office in the morning, the consultant I'm working with, who is also a LEO, wears the exact same thing like me: a white shirt and blue jeans. What a coincidence ;-)

This is it.....almost there...

My back hurts. Especially at the 'tulang belikat' area. Sakit siut. All this because of carrying heavy boxes up to my new place and not having enough rest.

I really want to move ASAP. On Saturday, while driving to Jazz's place for dinner, I couldn't control my emotions. It was a mix of everything. I can't imagine once the place is ready and me fully moving in there. This is it. This is the final thing which makes me totally move on from what had happened in my life. This is MY house. MY own. I painted it. I moved the things there personally. I decorated it. It is just sad that my lovely Habibi, who had helped to motivate me to move on, to get this place, is not here with me. Maybe one day.Insya Allah.

My target date is by the 3rd week of May.As I'm not allowed to take leave and I can't go to the PPM Nationals, to avoid feeling frustrated, I 'm focusing, preparing on moving to the new house.

I don't have anything big to move, just pots and pans, pinggan mangkuk, books and clothes. That's why I'm just using my car and the book boxes which was provided by my ex-boss. I estimate there would be 2 more rounds only. (Sh*h Alam to Sr* Petal*ng is not near tau)


Tomorrow & Tuesday I would be away for a teambuilding session. Got to stay overnight at a local hotel. But hopefully I could start again by Thursday. Oh! Got to go to IKEA and get some stuffs too.

I'm sooo tired. I need more energy pleasseeeee.....

On another note...I'm so excited as my beloved sushi chef, the guy who taught me to make sushi and a very dear friend, informed that he's coming back for holidays for a week from the UK. He was the one who would call from there at 3 or 4am and sing Man Bai's "Kau Ilhamku" on the phone all the way from Nottingham! It has been 3 years since we last met. I hope he has sometime to meet me.I wonder how he looks like now.....

Yippee!! I did it!!

After 2 days, average of 5 hours each day, this is the result.




Thank got it kind of looks nice in the pics.... How am I feeling now? Other than my hand lenguh giler, I feel LEGA.....
Something for me to remember:
*Do not just go to the hardware shop and decide the colour of the paint on the spot. The small little 'sample' of colours look different on the wall.*
Alhamdulillah, the toughest task has been completed. From now onwards, Insya Allah it'll be fun.
Now, where did I put my past years IKEA mags?hmmm......

Day 1

Day 1

The re-painting process is starting in the next few hours.
I'm excited to start and finish it ASAP but still can't help of feeling sad to do it all alone.
And I can't stop my tears from falling again....

I know I got to do it really fast.
The longer I wait and delay, the worst it feels.

Its not an easy job.Help!!



The hardwork has begun.
Today, after getting the keys to my new crib, Alhamdulillah,
I went to the hardware shop.

Things that I got from there:

-5L Paint for the interior walls (OMG! I didn't know just to choose a white paint, there are lots of choices. )
-1L paint for the sliding door grill (this one easier to choose from)
-all the tools to paint:- brush, palette, rollers, thinner
-sandpaper (for the grill as it is a bit rusty)
-masking tape (for the electrical points and switches)
-double sided tape
-all the cleaning liquids




This is the hardest and most boring part of the whole process. Doing it all alone is not fun at all. But there is no other choice for me as I really want to move out from my current apartment as soon as possible. Other than that, the rest is going to be interesting. I just need to get A*ileen to help me with the ID and inform her my 'budget'. And then go shopping.

My timeline :
- to finish painting and cleaning the house by this Sunday
- to arrange for the delivery of the electrical and bedding items by 17th
- to arrange other items for the living room by 17th or earlier


By end of this month - I want to completely move there. The moment I've been waiting for the past 3 years. Its not easy as I am scheduled to work on Saturdays too.

And my grandma, aunties and uncles are coming from Terengganu for a function at mom's place on 1st June. So it will be a great time for them to come and have a look and do a simple 'tahlil' there.

Ahh! Such a nice planning. But then again, this is just a plan. With my hectic work and the working hours, the distance from the current apartment to the new condo, I have to push myself to the limit to make sure I meet the timeline.

Can I make it?
