turning 33.

Love & Kisses ✿ sha 0 comments
and, it's my birthday today!
29th Oct to be exact.

nothing much though.
it's just me, little Aaira and cik Danish as usual.
hubby said he's coming home today.
he has been home for every weekend now but I don't encourage him to be back that much.
all those fatigue, the distance...
that will definitely worn him out someday.
so, takpe la kot.
it's just a birthday anyway.
no big deal.
lagipun dah dapat hadiah besday yg sangat bes kan :p

but to think that we'll get used with this LDR arrangement... nope.
it will never gets easier.
but it will get better in time.
insya allah.
hum hum.


So... 33 ye.
ehem.
It’s not that I care about age, really.
I mean, everyone is shocked when I tell them how old I am anyways, them thinking I’m about ten years younger :p And I don’t feel thirty-three either.

Yes, I do feel like the best time of my life is still to come.
And yes, I do feel as if I'm less naive about how the world works now than when I was younger.
And yes, there are many things that I've done and accomplished that I'm proud of by this age.
But on the other hand,  no - I don't feel as content as I should've been, and I thought about resigning all the time. kesian kesian.

It's not that I don't like my job. Segalanya adalah baik di sini. kot. It's just that I don't like to do the routine, waking up every morning, sending my kids to kindy, working and dreading everything. u know, the stuff.

kan best kalau dpt golek2 atas katil lama sikit, preparing brekfes for everyone, then working leisurely in the comfort of my own home.
...

impian yang kecil, yang jauh di sudut hati ialah resign dan duduk berumah di sebuah kampung di tepi pantai di negeri Terengganu sambil menjalankan bisnes Charms & Colors.
'bole tak?

sekian.

Travelouge : K.Kinabalu/ Kundasang/Ranau (Part 1)

Love & Kisses ✿ sha 0 comments
We just got back from our KK/Kundasang/Ranau trip yesterday.
and thankfully, it is as good as I remember ^_____^

Our trip started on Saturday, 17/10/2015.
me, hubby, Aaira, Danish and my parents-in-law.
4 adult, 2 children, with total airfare of RM1750 termasuk luggage cost.

My parents-in-law dtg ke sini on Friday evening, the next day around 11.30 am, bertolak ke Senai airport.
Self check-in kat sana and terus lunch.
this is the first time of us using that self check-in machine tu ye.
senang je sebenarnya and terus print the luggage tag on the spot.


Around 1 pm, boarding, 2.30 flight take-off, 4.35 sampai kat airport KK.
awal 15 minit.

this is Danish & Aaira's first trip naik flight ye.
alhamdulillah kedua-duanya adalah bersopan santun yg amats.
maybe sebab saspen kot.
hehe.

before pegi, dua2 sangat excited tapi time nak naik tu, tiba2 Aaira sibuk cakap, mama, aaira taknak naik kapai tebang la. aaira nak naik kereta je.

aa napa tanak?

aaira takut. nanti kapai jatuh.
'bole takkk? tiba2 mak berasa saspen T_T

dah la the day sebelum pegi tu mcm2 peristiwa jadik.
pagi Jumaat, jari kaki aku kena sengat lebah.
sakit okeh.
so tunggu sakit kurang baru pegi keje.

then, kat news kuar plak berita angin ribut & ombak setinggi 3.5m melanda sabah. dilarang keluar ke kawasan perairan sampai 21hb ye. sedeh okeh sedeh. gudbye pulau manukan, sapi, etc T_T

days before that, bos aku sibuk la nak report audit, dgn one-to-one session for the KPI, dgn quarter report, dgn board report, arrangement for the CA signing lagi, pastu nak kena join DI. gila ah ding dong! diorang ni mcm tak bagi aku cuti je kan padahal 2 ari je pun aku takde kat opis.

ok, berbalik kepada cerita tadi,

dalam flight, Aaira dok pegang je tangan aku sebab plane asyik bergegar kan.
pastu tiba2 dia tertido sendiri.

4.35 landed tapi kami tak boleh kuar lagi. hujan plak tu kan.
our rented car dah tunggu dr pukul 4.30.
dalam 4.50 keluar, hubby terus gi tempat collect luggage, aku kelam kabut la setelkan kereta sewa tu.
booking Saga FLX dgn Brandon/Kris RM300 for 3 dys.
ni contact no. dia if anyone interested - 0138999242
theirs adalah yg paling murah yg aku survey.
bersih, cuma condition kereta tak berapa baik. brek bunyi2. tapi dah namanya kereta sewa yg selalu dibawa naik gunung, mmg macam tu la kan.

dalam hujan yg tak berenti, kami pun terus ke KK Marina Apartment, depan Oceanus tu.
booking online using Booking.com.
3 bilik RM245 per night and RM490 for 2 nights.


but unfortunately it was not well maintained. bath tub takleh guna, tombol pintu main bedroom rosak, dlm lif ada org muntah, building yg tak dibersihkan, etc.

mmg ada apartment yg lagi murah, yg lagi cantik, tapi aku ok je dgn apartment ni. luas, brg2 semua ada. it still worth the money.

if kami just pergi berempat mmg better amik TH hotel tapi sbb pergi ramai2, better duduk apmnt so boleh berborak, main ramai2, kan.

lepas check-in, letak brg, dlm 6.30 kami terus keluar makan.
my sis suggest makan kat gerai Hj Manja kat dataran todak.
sebenarnya senang je nak cari sebab sederet dgn pasar Filipina tu tapi pompuan memang selalu sesat dan selalu bg direction salah walopon guna encik waze, kan. hehe.


kami order ikan kerapu masak 3 rasa, butter prawn, sotong goreng tepung and sayur kailan ikan masin.
banyak, sedap and murahan!
total = RM112 sahaja ye.
siap tapau bawak balik sbb tak habis makan.
and bila dah bawak balik pun still tak abis jugak sbb semua dah kenyang gila.
kesimpulannya sila jangan order yg over sangat ye.

kat sini, pukul 6 dah magrib, so time kami makan tu mmg dah gelap macam mlm.
walopun still hujan tapi kami redah je.
nasib baik Danish & Aaira bwk cap.
esoknya my FIL demam.
tatau la demam kena hujan ke demam terkejut sbb dia tak pernah naik flight, tak pernah jalan jauh2 macam ni.

malam dok umah je sebab semua nak tengok bola JDT. hubby kan big fan of JDT so mana bleh miss. aku plak tido awal sbb super penat. lagipun tak bawak payung so takleh jalan2 kat luar.

the next morning still hujan lebat seperti ramalan cuaca sebelum ni.
saye berasa down.
semuanya sambung tido lagi.
Danish je bangun awal.
pukul 10.30 siap2 nak keluar walopon hujan.
lepas brunch kat Nando's Oceanus, terus pegi ke pasar Filipina.
'ye, pegi mana2 pun hubby mesti carik Nando's feveret dia tu kan

then, hubby turunkan kitorang kan Le Meridien sementara dia carik parking. tgh tunggu tu nampak kedai sebelah ada jual payung so aku beli la 2. mahal okeh. RM19.50 seketul. kalau beli kat sini baru RM12 ha.

angin kuat gila so takde point pun nak pakai payung bagai.

tiba2 hubby call, cakap takde pun jual souvenir kat pasar ni. dia nampak kerepek2 je.

aku : what the...? adekah kami salah tempat?

tapi seingat aku, 7 tahun lepas time pegi sini memang situ la pasar Filipina.
7 tahun ye.
ok, so maybe telah bertukar.
so aku pun tepon my sis tanya dia katne pasar Filipina tu and she said memang kat situ la, depan Le Meridien.
tapi sebab aku dah decide nak gi pasar Ahad kat Jalan Gaya tu, maka tak jadi gi pasar Filipina.
parking kete kat Suria Sabah sebab hubby takmo ikut kitorang. dia bwk budak2 ke Kidzoona kat sana. RM17 per person, sila la bergolek guling sehari suntuk ye. dia suruh bwk my PIL sekali ke pasar Ahad tu. so kami pun menapak beberapa meter, lintas jalan je dah sampai.

sampai sana je semua tgh dok ngemas sbb dah pukul 1.
pasar ni bukak pagi je tau.
as expected, kalau pegi tghari memang dah tutup la.
lagipun hujan, orang tak ramai.
takpe la... next time kot.
tapi memang murah gila barang kat sini.
keychain yang sama, 10pcs RM10, kat pasar mlm 7pcs RM10, kat pekan Nabalu 6pcs RM10. so kalau nak memborong souvenir sila pegi ke pasar Ahad dr pukul 5 pg - 12.30 tghari.

then kitorang pun patah balik la ke Suria Sabah sbb semua dah tutup kan.
terus menuju ke Thomas Sabo and memborong my bracelet and a few charms for me and Aaira.

TS takde kat JB so terpaksa la membeli belah di situ.
my PIL dok tanya apekebenda ni. dari smlm dia nak tanya aku pakai apa yg lilit2 kaler coklat kat tangan.
when I said leather and silver, he was like, kenapa mahal sangat???

I'm not so into gold but I'm a big fan of Pandora & Thomas Sabo.
berapa ribu lemon ntah dah perabihkan utk benda alah ni but I don't care.
kehendak orang kan lain2.
lagipun this is a part of hubby's gift for my birthday! yey!
another part is of course this marvelous trip.
tq hubs! ^_^


okeh to be continued...

the longest distance

Love & Kisses ✿ sha 2 comments
it has been weeks since I last wrote anything here.
super bizi okeh.
with all the works and play.
*yezzaa kerja adalah kerja, berhibur pun wajib jugak okeh.

and since 1st Sept, we've officially changed the location of our business to our home.
lokasi tmpt lama agak jauh dari rumah, dengan jalan yang jem setiap hari, and my long working hours. fuh fuh

so ok.
better for me, for us and better for the business.

customer dtg to self pickup almost everyday.
sampai si kecik Aaira pun dah tau, mama, customer mama nak dtg ke ni?

and Danish yg 4 thn 9 bln ini pun sangat suka tolong mama cop pd flyers and consignment note.

Me of course sangat hepi with this new arrangement tapi mestila hidup menjadi lebih bizi dari biasa. the tremendous trips to Poslaju, Skynet, Amway, Shaklee... everything.

baru je cerita kat last entry rasa mcm tak berapa nak bizi dah. tiba2 skrg adalah menjadi super bizi mom balik.
and hubby is on offshore again...
sob sob *drama jap*

tapi itulah.
we're both in oil & gas industry.
sejak sebelum kawin pun he has been going to offshore on/off.
so that has been expected much earlier la kan.

my advice to u kids, kalau tak tahan duduk berjauhan, please la jangan pilih orang dari O&G industries.
not only O&G, some of my frens who are married to pilots, sailor, marine, beginilah hidupnya.
so tak payah nak komplen2 sgt kat FB.
*kat blog je bole sbb nobody really knows you here. hehe

dia lelaki yang kamu pilih, bukan orang lain yang pilihkan, bukan mak bapak kamu yang pilihkan.
he's the choice that u made, so please bear with it.

sometimes I read about complaints from wives of these offshore guys in FB and it made me wince.

time pergi bercuti oversea, beli kereta Alphard, henbeg Chanel, LV bagai, tak kesah pulak hubby bagi duit beribu2 lemon.
time anak sakit, diri sendiri penat nguruskan semuanya, komplen2 pulak kat public, bagitau kat sume orang hidup macam takde orang peduli.

when u wrote all this kinda thing in FB, kan mak bapak kita baca, adik-beradik baca. veri kecik ati kot when u said, hidup sorang-sorang mcm takde sedara mara, takde org pedulik.

paling2 pun yang aku tulis adalah,
aa menatnya drive sendiri balik kampung.
and sapekah yg akan menukarkan lampu rumahku yg dok meletup je nihhh.
menatnya menatnya.

yep, unfortunately, being a single mom memang penat gila kot.
especially when u're working full time and don't have a maid and the family is not around to help things out.

well, i'm in her shoes kan.

tapi takyah la nak komplen2 sangat kat FB kot? nak meroyan meh tulis kat blog mcm aku nih. u can write all sort of things here okeh.

and well, reminder for me jugak la kan sbb aku pun sbenarnya tak boleh nak komplen sgt coz I still have time for my novels.
people who are truly busy won't have time for books and I still read at least 2 books a week.
aa apakah maknanya?

sekian.
