Of Moving Out....

Last night I came back from work quite late and missed meeting up with Cik Pijah and gang at Mamak Bistro, Subang. Damn! Next time yeah Cik Pijah.

My colleague, Noobs told me that there was going to be a 'Malaysia Property Exposition (MAPEX) 2006 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC) from 3rd – 5th March and I thought it would be a good idea to check it out this weekend seeing that I may be getting married this year and will probably have to move out from my parents’ place.

So I had a long talk with my mom last night about my future plans i.e. getting married and all. My mom said that after getting married I should not move out yet and stay with them for a while until I can afford to buy my own place. At first that sounded like a good idea but after thinking about it I thought it would be better to have our own place since it would be easier and convenient for the boyfriend’s parents to stay with us when they come for a visit instead of putting up in a hotel. I then told my mom that I wanted to buy an apartment and move out after I got married and my mom went quiet for a while. She asked me why I wanted to move out so quickly and that she would miss me too much and the house would be very quiet without me around, who would she talk to, who would take her grocery shopping, who would make her tea everyday etc. When she was saying all that I felt so sebak and had tears in my eyes. I am very close to my mom. Since I am the only girl in the family and the eldest I guess it’s only natural that I am close to my mom. I am blessed to have such a wonderful and understanding mom. She was never the kind of mother who would nag you and pressure you to get married. When I broke up with my 1st and 2nd exes, she was very supportive and told me that I should take my time and don’t just pick the next guy that comes along just because I was getting older and felt pressured to get married. She never tried to set me up with any of her friends’ sons and basically let me make my own decisions on things concerning my life. And that is why I think she’s the best mom ever.
So it is going to be damn hard when I have to leave the house. I have a feeling…No, I know for sure that I am going to cry for a few weeks after I move out from the house. And after we get married, if the boyfriend say we have to move to Sarawak then I know I would cry for a whole year!!! Oey! To think that I may not be able to spend 1st day of Hari Raya with my family is enough to make me feel like I am not ready to get married. I did have this conversation before with the boyfriend and he said that it is normal to feel sad but once we have children I would not be thinking so much about being away from my family during Hari Raya because I would be busy with the children. Is that true? Somehow I dont think it will make any difference whether I have children or not. I would still feel sad. men and their logic. Hmmpphh!
Hmmm...I may need a lawyer to draw up a pre-nuptial agreement barring the boyfriend from dropping that sorta bomb on me during the first 20 years of marriage.

Goodbye Herbie, Hello Lil Hulk!

My car of nearly 7 years, my darling Herbie is gone. The buyer took him away yesterday and it pains me to see him go. Okay so I'm being over-dramatic but seriously I felt really sad. We've gone through so much together. You've been such a good car, Herbie. I wish I could keep you and the new car but I can't afford it with what i'm getting which is peanuts btw *sheesh*
Oh yeah, this is my new car. I don't care what people say about perodua cars, I simply love this car! It's so spacious and I love the colour! The only thing I dont like about the car is the built-in CD player.

Mawi oh Mawi!

Oh My God! There is a new reality programme in search of Mawi’s personal assistant called “Resume Untuk Mawi”. It will be aired for 8 weeks on Astro Ria at 9.30 p.m. every Monday. Those who wants to be Mawi’s PA has to submit their resume and convince Mawi why they are the best person for the job.

This Mawi fever is getting out of hand. Why the heck would they need to have another reality programme JUST to find a PA for Mawi??? Please enlighten me folks. Sigh.
A friend commented that Mawi’s looking for a PA just like how Donald Trump is looking for an Apprentice. What?? How can you compare Trump to Mawi?? No way! I mean granted both has got hideous hairdos but still, Trump is one of the richest man in the world and Mawi is just, well...Mawi is Mawi. What is this world coming to?
I am not surprised if next there will be a reality programme called "Mencari Cinta Untuk Mawi" if he ever breaks up with that fiancee of his.

Piece of Advice

  • There is no such thing as free sex. Eventually you pay for it.

  • Never judge people by who they date – your own sex life is confusing enough without trying to figure out everyone else’s.

  • Advice is like a sandwich. If you know someone is hungry, you can offer them a sandwich. They may even ask for a sandwich. But if you put the sandwich in front of them, and they don’t eat it, there’s nothing you can do. You can’t force someone to eat a sandwich.

  • Emotionally, it’s better to be homicidal than suicidal. When you’re upset with a guy, at least know which way to point the gun (hahahahahahah! this is good!).

  • Never ask a single person if they’re “seeing anyone special,” an unemployed person if they’ve found a job, or a married couple when they’re planning to have children. You’re not making conversation. You’re starting someone on the road to Prozac.

And my personal favourite...

  • Men aren’t stupid, and you don’t need a complicated set of rules to find a good one who loves you. Here’s the only rule you need: if a man loves you, he will do anything he can to keep you around. Anything.

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY, BABY!!


Warning!

This entry is quite cheesy and may caused some of you to actually throw up but it’s my 1st year anniversary with the boyfriend and I reckon I’m allowed to be cheesy and sickeningly sweet at least 2 days in a year i.e. on our anniversary and his birthday.


The boyfriend made me a card for my birthday a week ago (It was such a sweet and funny card and I have never received a hand-made card before so it was really special). He said he stayed up till 4 a.m. making it. Since my birthday and our anniversary is in the same month so I reckon he would also be broke by now. Thanks for the lovely earrings, babe! You’ve managed to surprise me every time!
Babe,

Who would have thought you could fall in love with me, eh? Stubborn, opinionated, weird sense of humour bordering on crude, know nuts about football (still learning), loud and can sometimes be very vulgar. My lovely colleagues and friends can attest to that. Don’t even get me started on the “looks” department wokey! Angelina Jolie I am NOT. But I guess there is something about me that you find endearing and attractive (naik lift tekan tingkat 678 *ting!* hahahaha) or else you would not have moved all the way from Sarawak, leaving your friends and family behind to be with me. And for that I thank you.

Thank you for taking that leap of faith. For believing this relationship could work out.

Thank you for agreeing that I don’t have to cook 24/7 after we get married and for agreeing not to have PS2/X-Box in the house until we have our first child. And oh yeah, thank you for agreeing to me naming ALL our kids. Thank you for agreeing that I dont have to stay awake when ure watching football at 2.55 a.m. and that just being there beside you is good enough :-p

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY DARLIN’! And thank you for this lovely song.

Your Song by Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
