Special Order!

Hubster and i had been placed the order for ‘something special’ almost more than a year ago.


 And only yesterday, we managed to get the acknowledgment on the order confirmation. Syukran!
 Well, this is the longest period to get the order confirmation in our life. Errr, especially me!


And we have to wait patiently and pray hard everything went well before both of us able to get our hands on this special order. Based on our order confirmation, our special order Estimate Time of Arrival (ETA) is somewhere in June’2012. Very long eh?


Till then, all the prayers are needed!

pirate mata satu!

If some of you in my fb fren list, sure you guys are aware of me being Jack-Sparrow-wannabe or at least that what my hubster called me. Heh.. dia cakap I can starring in the next Pirate of Carribean. Ko ada noks mata tutup sebelah macam i?


So, the drama started more than a month ago. My eyelids start swollen on last week of fasting month. I went to one of the Ophthalmology clinic downtown SP. So the doc tell me the swollen was big and require removal aka minor surgery. I nebes noks. Surgery means a lil cut and blood and pain. So I request the doc to give me a day to think about it since time tu kasut raya laki I tak cari lagi. After the visit we went to Penang. Nak cari kasut raya laki I la kan. Time tu tak nak pikir sangat about the eyelids. Malas nanti I takde mood nak beli barang.

The next day, I felt berat hati je nak do the procedure, so we went to another Ophthalmologist for 2nd opinion. Well, its always best to go for the 2nd opinion kan? So the doc tell me I have to option either to take the antibiotics and pray hard the swollen will subside, or we had to take option no.2 which also the removal. Ofkos I ni nak try something less painful. So I opt for the antibiotics. I was on that antibiotics for almost a week. The swollen was smaller but not 100% subside. And raya came. Dah tu, I pun tak berapa nak pikir about my eyelids thing. Sebab its not painful after all. Its just like a numb growth,u noe, yg macam kematu je dekat situ. But last week, the growth start to give me tough time. Dia mcm heavy je. Bukak mata pun stim je sebelah sebelah tak boleh bukak sepuas-puasnya.

I went back to Sg Petani on recent weekend and was on leave on Monday. I met another Ophthalmology at the Specialists Hospital nearby my in law’s house. Jeng..jeng..jeng..sure the doc suruh I do the removal. As the growth is big from acceptable size *size yg kecik tak payah removal I rasa*. The doc give me two options to admitted in the hospital after removal or I may bed rest at home. Since the admission procedure to hamik masa, I opt for outpatient which mean balik rumah after the procedure.

Well, memula nak masuk tu I ok je. Berani. Siap tak bagi laki teman masuk lagi. Sebab I tau laki I ni stok ngeri gaban. Kang doc tak sempat nak buat apa-apa dia dah pengsan tengok jarum. Tak pasal2 nurse-nurse tu nak settlekan laki I dlu plak.

Since the doc is a muslim, I rasa sangat tenang when he recites the doa in every step he took.

Well, can you imagine the pain kena bius dekat area eyelids? Not once but thrice or 4 kali. I cant recall the 3rd and the 4th time since the pain for the 1st and 2nd injection tu sangat buat I traumatized. Though the doc bgtau I a lil pain and ask me to selawat, but cer imagine injection depan bijik mata. Waaa! Kompom baca selawat dalam hati pun terabur. Well, this is the not the first operation, but this is the most traumatized one since I Nampak injection like less than 2cm dr bijik mata i. sobsobsob…

Lepas kena bius tu, the doc clamp my eyelids and flip it. Macam eyelids tu terbalik la now. Omaigod! Sungguh nyilu and I cant stop my tear. Asyik meleleh-leleh.habis basah tepi2 mata and the nurse keep on wipe it off. I think the procedure beside injection bius tu tak la begitu painful, tapi bile dengar kelentung kelentang to lagi I nebes ok. In my two previous surgery, I was 100% unconscious. So macam tak de dengar benda alah compare to this minor procedure. So I tak la rasa nebes sangat.

And taraaaa…..

Laki I ngeri tengok bini dia mata satu and the darah on the eyes bandage and so does on my tudung. Hubster mintak i to stay overnight in hospital afraid there will bleeding tengah malam kang. Ofkos I tak mo admitted kan, bek I ddk rumah in law bersenang lenang.

So as result, ill be on medical leaves for one week y’all. But, masih lagi kena working from home. Tapi tak kisah la, I log in at 9am ke 10am. Asalkan I buat keje I kan.

Well, as promised before, let me start with what a basic makeup one should owned.

Seriously, dalam donia mekap ni there is no such rules and regulation. Takde pun salah kalau ko pakai eyeshadow as blusher ke or sewaktu dengannya. But just nak bagi u guys a basic guideline what u shud owned for start based on my findings.

Well, before you guys put on your makeup, its best that you do the essential-trio. You got me right? Cleansing, toning and moisturizing your skin. Once this essential-trio siap, you may proceed with “hello gorgeous!”. So this is makeup gadgets I think you should owned to have those flawwwwlesss makeup results.

1. Face Primer

2. Concealer

3. Foundation

4. Loose Powder

5. Eye shadow based/Eye primer

6. Eyeliner

7. Mascara

8. Lippy

9. Blusher

10. Face spray/mist or whatever people may call it.



1. Face primer.

Why you need face primer? – A face primer is one of the best ways to insure your makeup stays on longer. They pamper the skin and create a protective barrier. Primers are excellent for people with combination to oily skin. Just apply after moisturizer and let it sink into the skin for a few minutes, and carry on with your regular foundation routine.

So, basically primer ni bertindak untuk hold your foundation. So your foundation will stay much longer, wont cakey or chalky and at least tidak luntur very soon. Its very good to use untuk org mesia. Sebab cuaca kat mesia cepat buat kita berpeluh and foundation wont last that long. Dah tu takkan asyik2 nak tempek foundation setiap sejam kan?

What I used? – Currently I’m using NYX HD Primer. For the price I paid, this primer was totally awesome. It holds my foundation the longest possible around 6-7hours. Remember my raya drama? I tried to put on again my Maybelline Foundation together with this primer. The results? I change my mind as the foundation won’t that bad. At least it last longer that before.

My wish list – of course I planned to own one of those so famous Lauria Mercier foundations. But not until I’m pro to put on the makeup gadjets la kan. So next in my wish list is Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder. This monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder is not design for face primer. It’s actually dedicated for relief & Prevents Chafing on skins. But due to the ingredients used in this Monistat is actually the same ingredient use in those high end face primer. You heard me girls! So, that is the reason why this monistat is used for face primer and ramai gilos mekap guru kat youtube in love with this product.

Where you can get it? No, this wasn’t available in drugstore at Malaysia. So as alternative, you may purchase this from most-of-Malaysian-girls-life-savior, Ryan : http://sgdrugstore.com/

Well, Ryan doesn’t just sell those items available at his web; he also takes order for others stuff as well. I just placed order for another 3 more makeup brush and brush shampoo from him sebab that day lupa nak beli when my fren was in state. Ko ingat meknusia je pakai shampoo?

A or B?

I’m torn between A or B.


Bukan kekasih A atau kekasih B. mahu kena silambam dengan Incik Suami ke nak torn between kekasih A atau kekasih B plak kan.

But, between option A or option B.

I was offered to be involve in the new project. Weh, project lagiii? Sungguh lemau mendengarnya. The project period is around 6 months. Oh tidakkkk! Lama gilos. Kompom rasa nak muntah darah lagi lepas ini. *puke* *puke*

But the bright side is, the project will take place in China and US. Means, 3months in China and another 3 months in US. Part 3 months China tu I tak de la heran sangat. Sebab China kot. Nak makan pun susah kat area tu nanti. But the 3 months in US sangat mengugat jiwa i. err… weekends at the branded outlets? I mahu pengsaaaaaaaannnn. Plus, the $$$$ offered juga maha gembira.

Well, of course I’m smiling from ear to ear when I was told about this assignment. Gilo kau tak hepi kan. Tapi, 6months without hubster? Can I survive? Jumpa tiap-tiap weekend pun drama air mata masih ada walaupun almost 2 years cenggini. But 6months without him? Will he be okay? Will he miss me badly? And 6 months ‘berpuasa’. Dah la now pun puasa on weekdays kan. Sobsobsob..

Waitttt! Ofkos every nice thing comes together with the extra baggage. The worst part is? I’ll be bonded for another 2 years. Gulp! 2 years lagi? Oh tidaaaaakkkk.

Hubster was fine with this arrangement. I mean, he was fine with the idea I need to be out of countries for 6months and the bonded things. Well, he will missed me (he said so), but its something to do with the career path and all those experience which can help me to demand moreeeee salary in future. Eh, sungguh mata duitan!

But I think enuf is enuf. Means cukup2lah almost two years kiteorang kutub utara kutub selatan. Another two years to go? Gulp! That’s it. The damage is done. We need to start to focus on having our family in soonnnn. Like, real soon ok. Nanti kengkawan anak dah berderet empat, I baru terhegeh-hegeh nak preggy whats not.

And back to square, to lose something is to gain something else. Bonded for another two years is totally not worth it walaupun I bisa bergumbira di Negara berhawa sejuk, dengan gaji tak affected plus with the overseas allowance (masyuk kot kan lepas abes 6months tu), and the increment after the project if successfully meet the mile stone goal. But those can’t beat when I able to leave the company bila tiba masanya (eh, I dah tau dah masanya. March insyallah!), hubster and I can spend every single minute in our little tiny condo until god-know-when, we can focus on baby makings, and no more endless weekend trips north-south. And finally I’ll be abled to keep my travelling bag out of our eyesight. Poor my little travelling bag! Every week tak pernah miss untuk berkhidmat for me.

But still, I’m torn. I know I should turn down the offer. I know I should keep my decision firm. But, I’m just human, tempted with all the nice to have things. Errr..like nice to stay in US right? Even just 3months. Hahahahaha.. maybe I’ll be able to cuci mata and finally grab that Marc Jacobs ive been eyeing for months aight? And all the shopping stuff. Plus the x'mas will be coming in soon. Sure banyak saleeee kan?

Shuh..shuh..syaiton nirrajim! Hope Allah tabahkan hati I. menghalang all those godaan syaitan to accept the offer. and this is actually the 2nd time boss had asked me to consider this offer. phew!!

Ni baru hallllfff of our book hauls at MPH Warehouse Sale. heaven ok heaven bila tengok buku mure-mure. macam tak keruan i. sila la sila sale buku selalu ye. Book paling atas tu tak yah nak sebarkan gosip liar. tu persediaan untuk one fine day nanti. paham? beside buku "home repair" and "lonely planet thailand" the rest to semua my booookkkk. Hubster gigih nak DIY some of our house projects.

Till then!

Adios amigos.
