We moved - yet again

Do u know that we have moved to a new house?

It happened a few months back. As you've seen our 1st house, we knew instantly that we wanted to search for another house since the contract of the 1st house ended in April. We looked for quite sometime, scouted for nicer compounds and better location. There was this compound called Lotus which only issue was the distance was too far to MrAR's office. Other than that it is a superb compound. It has its own saloon, laundry mat, swimming pool just like in a expensive holiday chalet and it is cheap!

You see, besides having a good house that i like, the price of the house has to match a certain budget. You cant go over the budget but going lower will also create problem. Due to high demand and lack of vacancies for compounds in Jeddah (read here) and we were quite adamant on moving so it made us a lil anxious.

And we found a compound that is within our budget and nice and modern and clean and and and in better location/condition than the 1st one. 

Alhamdulillah.

Rumah kotak comel yang kecil maka senang maintain

I once IG'ed the interior of the house telling i am a little scared on how to decorate it. I planned on doing a before and after picture but dont think i am able to do that because the before picture are all gone coz my phone went missing. Yup, awesome phone went missing. 

So this is a new territory because all this while ive been decorating using dark wood color but now, everything is white. Always wanted white but was too scared. But now, i was given white maka putih lah ia.

One of the bedrooms. All 3 are identical except for the size.

Not feeling too well

After living in Jeddah for almost half a year now, i finally succumbed to the weather change as well as the in-the-aircond-24/7 condition. 

We had a badminton tournament between Malaysian agency in Jeddah. We were one of the team competing. It was funny actually because that was our first time playing badminton here and we do not own any racquet. By the way, it was a group tournament where couple will fight with other couples. What we did was we bought a racquet (for MrAR) and our plan was to borrow Haris & Raina's racquet (for me) during our match.

So what if we meet in the finals?

It was exactly what happened. We fought in the final.

It was a fun match to begin with. We were not playing seriously and we mostly laughed throughout the whole game. Were depended mostly on our spouse because seriously we dont know how to play. For fun - yes, but in a competition - of course not. Imagine me - the least sportsperson playing badminton and screaming when i did something wrong. And the final requires the team to play in 2 games. 3rd game if it is a rubber match. Since Haris & Raina won the 1st match and we won the 2nd match, it was only natural for us to compete in the rubber match. We didnt. We toss a coin to determine who was the winner. Just because we dont really care who wins and the wives we were bored with the game already.

The pink and the orange team plus Ummar in red.

We won a fruit juice processor that MrAR absolutely loved. From now on, i can sense that he will ask for fruit juice whenever he feels like it. 

Where was i going with this entry anyway.... oh yeah, about my not feeling too well. So after the match, we had dinner at the office. They had this yummy looking orangy-reddish drink with ice. So i had about a glass of it (yelah penat bertarung main badminton kan). Soon after that i felt my throat getting tighter and i was coughing non-stop.

For your info, i memang kalah with ice that was done from an uncooked water. Once i have my cough - it is a done deal. I'd be coughing like mad and it will usually last for more than a week.

And then all of the sudden, i got cold. I remember sneezing and having bad blocked nose. That was like a week ago and im still having the cold with very bad body ache. The cough has subsided though.

Here in Jeddah, if you go see the doctor, they gonna subscribe you to a medication and you have to go to any pharmacy to get your meds. Or another way is to ask the pharmacist on what type of meds is suitable for your illness without seeing a doctor. I find the second method to be easier. The pharmacist subscribed me to Clarinese but it is not working. My body ache is irritating like mad! Maybe this how the cold is - Saudi style but thank God, i dont have the fever. I remember Pink Stilettos entry on Cold vs Flu. Quite a good entry.

Hope i get well soon. This SRT is using the health issue to bail on house work. Eheh. Quite a valid reason too you know.

Hello again everybody!

I am back!

After being silent since early March, now Insya Allah i'll be back writing like usual. So many things have happened throughout my silence and i would like to share bit by bit. But to see what i did these past few months (if i were too lazy to write the things in the past) visit my IG for pictorial info. Wahhh... promote gitu.

With that, i leave you with duit seringgit. 

This note somehow represents the things unchanged. Although it is a newer version but it still resemble like the old one. Blue and original. Reminds me of Malaysia. Reminds me of home. Reminds me of the things i miss most.

Lappie :'(

Hard disk crashed.

Pictures are all gone.

All. Gone.

Parts to change are from Dubai.

God knows how long it'll take to repair.

It has been a week now.

Masih Aku Cinta

I dont really follow her stories but i know some of it from the reading i did. Pity her. But i think her song is nice and somehow she is telling the whole world how she feels.

Shila Amzah: Masih Aku Cinta

Biarpun kau tak ada lagi ada dengan ku
Takkan ku bisa melupakan mu 
Caramu memanggil nama ku
Terasa seolah kau masih ada

Jauh di dalam sanubari ku
Tak ku relakan pemergian mu
Namun ku kan selalu doakan mu
Agar kau tak kan terus terluka

Kau kan temui bahagia
Walaupun aku tidak bersama
Jangan kau gusar
Aku akan selalu ada
Dari jauh engkau masih ku cinta
Dari jauh aku masih mencinta

Takkan pernah ada penggantimu
Yang mempertahankanku sepertimu
Satu dunia menentang cinta kita
Akhirnya kita terpisah jua

Yang mengenal mu cuma aku
Tidak ku menyesal mencintai mu
Yang ku harapkan
Kau juga mendoakan ku

My awesome phone

For all of you who might know me, i will stick to my phone till death do us part. In this case, 'death' means the death of my phone - of course. I will wait until i cant use the phone like seriously-cant-use before i go buy a new one. I also dont believe in getting expensive gadgets just to be on the front liner of technology adapters. 

So it is understandable that the condition of my phone is so severe that i call it awesome phone. Some of the traits of my awesome phone are:

# it still has buttons for keypad
# it goes hang whenever i want to open Real Player or YouTube using installed application
# delete button came off and when i tried deleting it will usually enter lllllpppllllp..lp
# whenever it fell down, it will reboot itself and i can use it like nothing has ever happened
# i cant store things in my phone memory for more than 2G

I had to tell my family and friends on the awesomeness of the phone due to the delete button went missing and i cant delete any of my grammatical error and wrong spelling words. Example are like these:

Kenqpa xanggkat pgohone
Tutula naan nala kiws
Yeah i just wanna frymit
Anda pajai size sapa?
Nak kek batil?
3h6 sapme dgn apa?

The beauty of it all was that i dont have to correct myself coz they understood me just well. I laughed at my own writing. Funny kan i ni?

Jovian Casting Call

Taken from Jovian's Fb

I wish i can go to that casting call. But i forgot an important fact that Jovian might not want to look for plus size model. Ohh anyway, i cant wait to look at the models he's gonna choose. I hv a template of model-like-women in mind and i know i will be right.

But thinking of it, do u think i'd be qualified, regardless? Heheheh

The time when i was a week late

The time when i was a week late and still got my period after that...

You see, i noticed tht ive been getting my period not at the same precise date like how i used too. It will usually come late - a few days but usually a week late. I gotta say that it thrills me sometimes when the period does not happen on the exact same date but when it does come, i have mix feelings. A part of me was disappointed to get my period but another part of me felt relieved coz the thought i had in mind if i were to not get my period is that - dem id become even fatter.

I maybe want babies of my own but God says - not at the moment it seems.

A friend of mine has been telling me about her getting tense because she is not pregnant after being married for less than a month! Her in laws and husband have been giving advice and telling her to do stuff coz apparently they want a baby like ASAP.  I told her that it is common for a person to be pregnant after getting married for 3 seconds, but there are a bunch of women who got pregnant later. I told her to get to know her husband first, familiarized with how things work between them and let nature play its role. And in the mean time, just learn to ignore the advice and comments thrown at her on how-to-get-a-baby.

I told that to her because, i am facing the same thing only difference is no one is pressuring me. There were a few questions for PuanMama but not the condescending look and knowing advice from relatives. And these are the only things i care. People im not close too giving me advice - i was able to tune that out.

And though i am happy for all friends and relatives who announces their pregnancy to me, there are a part of me that feels cheated and demotivated. Why can they and not me? How come it is so easy for them and not me? Ive been married longer but they have 2 in tow already.

But yeah, who to pujuk hati sendiri but yourself kan?

*-*

On a different note: Ive been creating random song lyrics in my head that i practiced in the shower. MrAR says it is good. His way of saying good is with eyes glued on tv, no tone whatsoever, clearly was not listening to a word i sang in the toilet cum studio room and with no interest in the masterpiece ive created. Ohh well, at least he can stand me singing in the shower.


Puas sudah ku menunggu
Masa untuk kita bertemu
Ingin ku peluk setiap inci
Ingin ku hidu bau wangi

Bila kau di depan mata
Tautan hati tidak terungkap
Kasih sayang terpancar indah
Kita bagai tidak terpisah
Menyambung kembali dengan mudah
