Tummy is too full.
*groan*

Which is why I am up blogging.
Couldn't sleep well either. Bed was too small.
*double groan*

This sucks. This really sucks


Anyway, I'm feeling like a housewife now.
I'm seriously trying to shake the feeling away.


Can you imagine, last Friday, I called my mom up at 4.45pm asking what was buka
She was out with lil' Sis which leaves me to prepare break fast.


She told me to cook sardines.
Cook?!?!?!
I became so tak tentu arah!!!

But they say people learn when the situation forces you to.
I did.. But that would mean that while working, I was writing now mom's recipe.
I swear that was my first time cooking alone!







Let's zoom







Ok here is the part where I feel like the housewife. I was seriously seriously rushing through my work sending out emails ASAP.
Lucky I was at level 4 cos where we were assigned, we had to use VPN which slows down the whole network.

Rushed back to my seat at 5.25pm. Like preparing for war,(ok I am always known for my exaggeration) I chucked my Thinkpad in the handbag and pushed everything else inside the drawer. Locked it up and rushed for the lift.
There with me were my 4 other colleagues, all rushing for the bus and rushing home, just like me.

I was glad i got the bus on time. Stopped at Bedok and crossed over to Sheng Shiong to do my marketing.

I so don't know what to say already lah.
In the bus I was thinking what else to cook with sardines. There were ingredients not available in the house. Make a quick phone call. To Lovie of course and asked him to teach me how to cook a simple vegetable dish (SUPER NOTE: I never cooked vegetables before too!)

Oh why Lovie? Cos mom was busy shopping in town.
*tee hee*


So it was cooking lesson from Lovie, which I did it well enough for the family to complain that it wasn't enough.

My achievement






Lil' Sis had started to cook so much more than me over Ramadhan. But I was more of Cinderella instead of the cook who feed the workers. But it is really nice, working in the house and getting the Lil' One to make for you drinks etc etc..

*tee hee*

I can't jolly well cook but I cant touch cleaning equipment. I will just clean and clean and clean.
*sigh* What is mom going to do without me.

Yes I do take a lot of pride in my housework.
Which Lovie complains that he has VERY little time with me.

The chandelier







When I started scrubbing the floors of the hall and painting between the tiles.







All these while, I am preparing for 2 occasions mah..

But still I will never miss my Indonesian Sinetron.
Mimpi manis at 8pm & Anakku bukan anakku

And I'm killing Lovie with my dangdut songs.
*chuckles*
Sumpah I don't know what has gotten into me.

Saturday was the day I was waiting for.
Excitedly waiting for.
Know how little girls feel like when they start decorating their doll house.
I felt the same way too that Saturday.

The furniture came in at noon that day and I worked 15 hrs non stop.

When they came and started the ball rolling







And they started fixing













And finally the bed FRAME







And when they left









Then it was MY turn to start the ball rolling













By the time it was 9pm, I was exhausted.
Maxed-out but I can't stop, else the cleaning will drag over days and days.
Told you I am a cleaning freak







By the time it was 11pm, I still had this much more to go







*faints*

Yes, I was working on it all alone cos Lil' Sis was asthmatic.

I told dad to help me get hangers cos I ran out of them. I already had given away 8 large Ikea boxes full of clothes and bags.

Dad being the so over sweet one got for me 60 hangers and bubble tea! Wah! That day my bubble tea was delayed..







Anyway, the hangers were used up so fast. It was scaring me and Lovie.. That many!?!??!
So within the next hour, dad went to buy another 60 hangers for me..
*blush*


At 3am, I was almost completed. The rest were books and bags which I am planning to put under the bed.
But for now, it is done.







See what I mean by the bed is small? Me and my sister used to share a King Size equivalent.
But dad told us to sleep with less pillows!
Yes, we do have 8 pillows, 2 bolsters and 3 cushions.
Now you guys can see why we are his princesses?





















The wardrobe is VERY organised but will finalise the pictures of the room nearing Raya.
P/S: Hui, can you please tell your mom this was the same room she saw before.


The tummy is feeling much better now. I'm going to take a nap now and TRY not to be late to work.

Here is a sneak preview of my veil for the engagement. Though it was pre-designed, I had the sequins tailored to match my baju kurung.







Please do not ask how much I paid for this. For a one time occasion which I am going to wear for a couple of hours.
yup.. no punjabi clothes, no sari, no kebaya.
Super Malay Style.

In fact, I wanted it super simple remember. So I am going to wear the same outfit as the 1st day of Raya this year.

Heard from mom that another of my cousin is getting engaged 2 weeks after Syawal. Congratulations.
Since my own engagement is yet to be made known to the relatives, I do not want them to think that I am in a competition, racing time with them.

Definitely not!


Mom is still scouting for the engagement gifts. Looking at how far Lovie's mom has gotten ready, I can just bite my nails and pray that all will be ready in time.


I was too busy with the house that Mom had to remind me to call the wedding planner so that we can visit the location of the wedding. Still, I forgot.


A day prior to my engagement is my presentation in DBS. I was telling Lovie what a rush it would be for me.

He asked,"Aren't you going to take leave?"
"Huh? You serious? Sayang kan nak amik leave.. Balik pun boleh siap-siapkan barang per"

His reply?
"Baby I'm going to kill you"


*scratch head*


Relax... It is not as shrewd as it 'reads'
