"Sometimes, people tend to forget the one thing that could bring happiness in life"

caveman and i, dont wanna go to work anymore...we just wanna get on that plane and be on vacation already!12 days still seems to be far far away...sigh...anyway..last week i was knackered...didnt have the energy to anything and morale was very close to zero, early PMS..possible..spoke lilmisskechik...she is also having the same bug..PMS bug..

to make things worst..i watched "CINTA" and "Jangan Pandang Belakang" alone..so i was scared and sad simultaneously..besides Yasmin Ahmad movies, which i think are great...CINTA is pretty good. Its like the malayu version of "Love Actually" sometimes , i rase that it was cut and paste only tukar language jer...esp the flipchart thingie....its exactly, nonetheless...it was still good...although im sure we are capable of making something different and still make a good movie. What made me sad in this movie was dian & dhani story and the cikgu and cik rubi...sedih!. The same director made another movie that came out this year..(i only knew this after i googled him) called "Sepi" by Khabir Bhatia. Im a movie fan...and kalau boleh i would like to see more malay movies..but its always about love love love..and sangat jiwang...esp abang haslam's movies...i just cannot take it..arghhh...but im glad that malaysian movie makers takin it to the level and producing good movies these days...the latest movie we watched here was "Anak Halal"...though it was a bad...very bad copy..i enjoyed it..id say it has a pretty good story line..its funny to see maya karin cakap rempits..:).

to mr & mrs yeo

last sunday...i got a mms while i was driving around maadi, it was from bestie i couldnt opened it coz i didnt have the mms thing..so i had to go home and logged in to the website...then i remember..ahh yes today was her registration day...she and ivan are officially married...:).

It can be overwhelming but you will get the hang of it...its takes time...even we are still trying to work it out :D. Well wishes...wish we could be there to witness this day and attend the wedding on the hills, im sure everything will be just perfect for the two of you...

minggu lepas, caveman came home and told me that our landlord is pissed off with the company. Sebab, they did not pay him the rent. Of course la mamat to mengamuk...he was in the states for vacation then balik balik tgk bank acc zero....angin aaa aper lagi..and to make matters worst, the company change some policies and they wanted him to show them the deed of the property...he's like..y now...the family have been living them for almost 1 year and ure asking for the deed!!...die cakap boleh jalan laa....ure not getting it unless u pay me..or else they have to move..and u must know that we have a very nice civilized landlord unlike some..:D

So when i heard that...i was panic la aper lagi, but caveman said that it was not our problem, its the company problem and they have to deal with it.One week has passed and today he came home and told me that its done..the company wrote and exemption and payed our landlord...smilesss...:D.

So we get to stay in our flat 52..:D and we gave the landlord a call and to asked him if everthing is sorted out now..and he's happy again..alhamdulilah..if not nak kene pack and unpack again..takkan....!!!

next month will 1 yr that we have been living in this house...time flies doesn't it...

Selamat Hari Bapa..

when i was making safeia breakfast today..i knew there was something different about today...it was something..then i remembered adek telling me that its father's day this is sunday,15th June. Unlike valentines day and mothers day...fathers day here is unsignificant at all..i dont think they even know it existed.

So pagi tadi, i sneaked in bubbles room to give my darlin caveman a kiss..and wished him happy father's day...still sleepy, he didnt even know that it was today.I gave him a teddy hug and went to call ayah, it was aroud 12.00 on a sunday...and if i guess correctly, he, mama and adek will still be at the dining table..talking after sunday breakie...and i was rite. Adek answered the phone..and i asked him what did u get ayah..and he said nothing...im like yeah rite...of course he got him something. My brother now takes responsibility to remember all the day important dates and buy them pressies or cards.

ayah came to the phone, wished him and told him that i love him.He sounded really happy and told me that adek n mama are taking him to carls jr to check out the new joint! with my dad...theres no need for words..he knows his kids and he knows how we feel about him...our dad is a great dad, of course when we were younger..he was very garang...but as we grew up, we change and become less notty and he did too,he become alot more relax and his temper as tone down abit.

I remember growin up, adek and i didnt always get what we wanted.Our dad was in the goverment servant and he didnt earn much, it was enuff to live a comfortable life but not lavish. SO being ignorant lil kids..we always wanted everything that other kids had...one time, i asked my dad for a racing bike (it cool to have one at the time) and he refused, he gave me many many reason but i knew that it was becoz it was super expensive...many fight and me locking myself in my room..and no racing bike came by...what arrived was a normal bike with a basket in front with a carrier at the back reason being it more suitable for girls arghhh!!!...yeah rite. I didnt acccept it but i dealed with it...and it took me 2 bike like that to finally get a moutain bike even then it was not a cool Le Run...but it was better then nothing..:D.Nonetheless, despite off the material things that we couldn't give us..he gave us..a safe home, educations, love and everything else..he did his best to give us everything.

My dad has been my mentor for as long as i remember from school right up to now...i still asked my dad for advice,he has thot me alot about getting around in this world and i thanks you ayah... I feel blessed to have parents like my ayah and mama...i could only wish that we could be as good as them for bubbles and her siblings..:P.

becoming jane

our cable is not working at the moment..since yesterday afternoon, since Ive been working at home for the last 2 days..my companion after caveman have gone to bed its the telly. So this morning, i was dead bored. One rig had a problem and was fixing some stuff hence..no drilling and the other was running in hole..which means...i have nothing to monitor...woohoo..i walked over to our dvd rack and found two dvd...Good Luck Chuck and Becoming Jane.

to my disappointment Good Luck Chuck was not working arghhhh...it started off ok but got stuck in the middle...so i had to switch to Becoming Jane. I loved movie adaptations from Jane Austen books, sadly..i owned 2 books written by her..but never read them..but i have watched most of the movies that was adapted from her books..Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Pride and Prejudice and now Becoming Jane..its not from one of her novel..but it was a story about her..and her love, the love that she never married..i always end up crying in a Jane Austen movie, the settings..the lines...and the story ahh soo romantic..all the men that cast for her movies as just dead romantic...come on who is not heads over heels with Mr Darcy...sigh..makes me wonder are all men of her time are like this...could we still find a Mr Darcy in our generation??? don't know....maybe they are..but in different forms..modernize some what. I found a post about Mr Darcy...and the Mr Darcy in our time...have a read....its very interesting and quite true.

In becoming jane..her BF was Tom Lefroy...not as strong as Mr Darcy..but very the sweetheart.

Best quotes:-

a classic....chick flick..:D
