Dah overdue dah entry ni.
Fashion favourites of the night:
Penélope Cruz in vintage Balmain. Pretty and graceful, like a swan.
Natalie Portman wearing Grecian inspired Rodarte gown.
The hair is ferosh.
Freida Pinto was extraordinary in a sapphire John Galliano. Love it.
Favourite pictures from the Oscars:
The real supermodels reunited. Hot.
RDJ all neat and tidy and sexy.
A movie with SBC an Seth Rogen? Yes please!
Gabriel Aubry. Period.
I am a weirdo, or in Ij’s dictionary – mengada. Quite vitally, we don’t think anyone should ever travel with yours truly.
Budget hotels are my biggest pet peeves. No red, orange, yellow or blue carpet, no flowery comforter, no flowery curtains too, tiles in the bathroom should never have patterns on them. In all instances, the bed has to be firm, with clean white duvet cover, plain coloured curtains, spotless bathroom preferably with slate tiles, and the list goes on.
When a friend asked me for an opinion about this hotel X in country Y that she is visiting soon, I said – Okay je. Not a fan of comforter bunga tho.
Seriously, that was all.
Boy did she get upset and started saying the followings:
You know, I’m tired of this. I don’t think people should ask for my opinions on anything.
I did not say that the hotel is a dump. I did not ask that person to withdraw her reservation.
Kenapa ye? Kenapa marah ye? Saya tak kata pon hotel tu hazab. Saya tak pernah halang pon siapa nak beli apa, nak duduk mana, nak makan apa. Bukan kah itu pilihan masing-masing? Saya takde pon jawab begini:
Saya penat lah dengan orang negatif. Mereka tanya sesuatu, tapi mereka hanya mahu jawapan yang mereka mahu dengar sahaja. Only what they want to hear. Kalau kita jawap lain, terus sentap 16 tahun.
Setengah orang habis puluhan ribu untuk beli gadget (seperti Ij), setengah orang habis ratusan ribu untuk beli kereta Mercedes (seperti bapa mertuaku), setengah orang habis beribu untuk beli collectibles (seperti lelaki-lelaki yang tataw main bola hiks), setengah orang habis ratus-ratus je untuk hotel yang lebih selesa (seperti saya). Salahhhhhh keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? Aku jugak la yang paling poyo. Vavi.
Speaking of vavi, I love Tripadvisor. Why? Because travellers upload real photos of hotels around the world, so other travellers are less likely to get conned by hotel’s own fancy websites. Jadi kita nampak lah carpet tu bersih ke, TV kecik ke besar ke, dan lain-lain lagi lah.
Sekarang ni, masing-masing feeling letak gambar sendiri di celah bedah tempat percutian pulak. Vavi. Orang tanak tengok muka kau lah vongok.
Yang cando takpe. Hiks.
Kesimpulannya, hormati lah pendapat dan pandangan homosapien lain. Jangan lah mengikut jejak ahli-ahli politik Malaysia yang forever bertikam lidah di Parlimen ittew. Tak pon macam Betty Suarez, dia je lah betul. Sedih lah.
Sekian.
I busy uols. Busy apa tataw.
Chores and errands seem endless these days. I start cooking at 4pm everyday and you know, this part I hate the most – ironing Ij’s work shirts. If only I could disregard my responsibilities as a wife.
Other than the wifely duties people often think are painless, I have been busy keeping up with Tips. The cat hasn’t been eating for a week already, thus I have to make sure we all (the girl who is taking care of him, the vet and yours truly) communicate well on a regular basis.
Always alone, just imagine how happy I was when Ed came to visit. Speaking of alone, Ij worries. I go out sometimes when he is at work. He is worried. I just don’t get it, why is he worried? He must have dated a big pussy back then. Oh well.
On job hunting, this is the perfect time for me to try to be useful for once. I want to care. I want to believe that global sustainable environment is possible.
It is easier said than done. I was a corporate slave. I still act like one.
Will I ever stop working for a rich man?
I’m disturbed.
I get asked ‘tak boring ke duduk rumah je?’ ever so often.
Seriously. Wtf?
Of course lah boring. Boring gila babi. What else do you want me to say?
I really hope that Ij isn’t reading this, not anytime soon. Don’t think he is. Unless for some reasons he thinks that I write about naked women.
If you are reading this, please click the X button or whatever ‘close the window’ button on your Mac. Thanks sayang.
Ij is a difficult person you know. I’ve asked him many times, is there anything in this world that he is interested in, other than gadgets and naked women. Oh yes, he likes to cook, and eat, and sleep. And he loves cats and dogs. Fun.
He buys his own gadgets. Because only geeks themselves know what gadgets they are into.
This is a quick post. His birthday is coming up and I really don’t know what to get him. I bought him a wallet for his birthday last year. He seemed happy with it – that is because his previous wallet was a garbage bag equivalent, and he got to choose the new one himself. Well, he initially wanted another wallet from Bottega Veneta but I wasn’t going to spend £400 on a wallet, no way jose. Yes I’m cheap bla bla bla. The man is fussy and he knows how to spend our money.
I thought of getting him a new phone. But I don’t know which and how. Besides, he just got himself a new phone. And to my surprise, it wasn’t a Blackberry and definitely not an iPhone. Heh talk about predictability, he is so not.
Should I get him some nice shirts? I don’t know. He wears dull muted colours. Black, grey, brown. Back in Malaysia, I used to buy him t-shirts in bright yellow and baby blue. He stopped wearing them when his sister told him he shouldn’t wear bright colours. Tak sesuai kata nya. Don’t you just love it when your husband wants to look good for his sister and not for the wife? Heh. I can never compete with his sister, especially when he’s been listening to her advice(s) all his life. Maka okay lah, beli lah baju sendiri.
When asked, he said he would love to get a UK Driving License. I could pay for the exams and the classes. But then I just remembered, I booked a MCP exam for him before, and I paid for it. I also downloaded some e-books for him to study, printed some test papers, only to have him quit 3 days before the exam.
Sigh sigh sigh (beriya merana).
After careful consideration, I think I may have a winner.
De’Longhi Nespresso Lattissima EN660 Red Coffee Machine (credit)
It uses Nespresso capsules. Also comes with an auto-cleaning milk carafe that can be stored in the fridge when not in use. Pretty neat huh.
I don’t know. We are hardcore coffee lovers. But I’m not sure if he’ll like it. Hish. Susah. Oh well, I still have a couple of weeks to think about it.
Mat saleh majoriti nya tak makeup bila keluar rumah. Kalau anda tak percaya, cuba anda naik tube. Pelik lah kan. Motif? Adakah mereka fikir mereka cantek au natural? Bukan lah bermaksud yang bermakeup tu semuanya cantik belaka, jangan lah sensitif sangat.
Tapi tolong lah. Jika anda bukan Alessandra Ambrosio, jangan lah pemalas sangat ye.
Terima kasih.
Hari ini hari yang indah. Tak pernah saya tahu yang salji boleh buat kita gembira. Jiran yang tak pernah bertegur pun boleh tiba-tiba menghadiahkan sengih kambing kepada kita.
Mat saleh tak kerja hari ini. Salji yang sangat hebat telah menyerang dari petang semalam. Bangun pagi je terasa macam di negara Russia. Walaupun tak pernah pergi ke Russia sebenarnya.
Sekolah tergendala. Servis bas tiada langsung. Tube line yang bekerja sepenuhnya hanya lah Victoria line sahaja. Airport kecil semuanya tutup.
Bagaimanapun, kami terpaksa ke Victoria tengahari tadi. Saya agak keberatan pada mula nya. Iya lah, salji yang lebat akan merosakkan makeup dan fringe ku. Dan membasahkan kot baru ku. Tetapi kami pergi kan juga. Salji di atas tanah tinggi nya lebih kurang 8 inci minimum. Agak seksa lah Ij nak berjalan dengan kasut nya yang gabak itu. Kesian. Manjang komplen sakit peha. Koser I.
Balik ke rumah, dengan pantas saya menukar persalinan dan bergolek-golek di garden dengan penuh kepoyoan dan kejakunan maha asli. Bila tengok berita hari ini, rupanya ramai mat saleh yang lebih poyo. Beriya ni masing-masing dengan beribu permainan luncur, snowman yang pelbagai rupa – ada satu tu boobies nya agak gorgon, dan petang tadi pada pukul 6:20 petang, Snowball Battlefight telah diadakan secara besar-besaran di Trafalgar Square. Over lah.
Sebenarnya, kita semua masih kanak-kanak. Tanggungjawab sahaja jadi penghalang.
Bila nak sedar diri dah tua tataw.
