those things that he said and done

i am lucky to have the most gorgeous man in my life. gorgeous in and out. things that he said and done never fail to make me laugh, let alone smile. stuff that he said easily tickle me. things that he did put a smile on my face. he may not be rich, he may not be good looking, he may not be a graduate but he is everything that i could ever wish for.


Umpy being silly

So this is his 3rd time. 1st oyster is his own. Somehow it got bended too many times and lead it to being damaged. 2nd time around, its still the same issue. He bended his oyster card, and again, it was damaged. Why? Again, it was bended too many times i supposed. He put the oyster card in his wallet, and sit on it.

Me: Stop putting the oyster card in your wallet


Him: So where should i put it then?


Me: *silent* so don't sit on it!


Him: what do u want me to do then? to not sit on the bus? then there's an empty seat and then they asked if i wanna sit, im just gonna tell them off "its alrite mate, i can't sit down. u go ahead! my gf told me to not sit on my purse because i have my oyster card in it and that i will bend it and apparently damaged it!" NICE ay?!


Me: *giggling*



Umpy being cheeky

i need to buy myself a bra. need to throw them old ones in the bin already. so, told him i need to buy one and that ain't got enough money to buy any.

Umpy: don't buy any then!


Me: what am i gonna wear then?


Umpy: don't wear any!


Me: what? people will start staring at my boobies then. they'll asked why am i not wearing any?


Umpy: don't let them stare! and if they asked, tell them my man likes it this way! *LOL*


Me: *LOOOOOL*


Note - that was meant to be a joke. if u can't handle it, turned away and stop judging u fakers!



Umpy being lovely

went to Paris 3 or 4 months ago. i went alone to meet a friend. was undecided at first, to go or not to go. i tot like if i go, he'll be alone. and on a second tot, he always has his friends around.

Me: i wanna go but i dont wanna go. i dont wanna leave u alone.


Umpy: go on. go have fun in Paris. i'll be fine.


Me: u sure?


Umpy: yeah! plus, ull be going only for few days.


So i decided to go. and he even surprised me by giving me some cash to spent over there. umpy very rarely spoil me with luxuries stuff. its a very rare occasion if he does. he knows, when to spoil me and when not to spoil me.
and in an occasion like this, when i need it the most, he just know (i didn't ask for it i swear!).


Umpy being there

I am pretty sure that every normal human being have been through a phase in life where disappointments are often the case. well if u haven't, then give yourself a nice pat on your shoulder but i have. sometimes its so frustrating that i start crying like a baby. one day i cried so bad that he decided to get out of work and accompany me for the day. he came around, he assure me that its not the end of the world, he assure me that it will get better and he assure me that whatever happens, he'll always be there for me no matter what. he took me out. he asked me what i wanna do that day, where i wanna go. but for me, just him being there is more than enough.

me and my umpy


so u see, its those little things that he did for me that matter the most. those funny things that he said made me laugh. those silly stuff that he did made me smile. those beautiful consciences touch my heart. it may not sound enchanted yet it sound very lovely. it may not sound enough yet it sound just right. its just one of those thing that i can't find in other people, but i manage find it in him. it may not be forever, but i hope and pray that God give us that chance to prove that we deserve to be together. perhaps with His will, even forever until another life.

food, baby and football galore

my weekends end on a high note! Saturday 'makan-makan session' with them girls and baby izz. Sunday footballing session with umpy and other LOSERS!

Aini's a good cook indeed. Delicious nasi tomato, ayam masak merah and dalca really fill up the empty starving stomach. All 4 of us. We were all very hungry. Nothing for brekkie. Our only hope is Aini's makan-makan session. And thank God for that. It was very tasty. I am glad all them three girls (Adibah, Afrodite and Zaty) enjoy the company of baby izz, also both his mommy and daddy. Baby izz is very adorable. Very active. And like mommy said, no kissing, NOT YET! but then, its too late for that mommy. i kiss him that day. too many times. boohoo *blowing nails*. then we decided to go for a drink. But Afrodite had to called it a day, she got other plans. So its three of us. it was still fun indeed.

baby izz surrounded by pretty ladies (cheyyy)

gorgeous ladies

As for Afrodite, the Greek girl i met in class at the uni. She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. She's gorgeous, the name says it all. Her most memorable Afrodite's moment would be 'telllll me telllll me' in her Greek accent. And it soon became who she is. Everywhere she goes, when she doesn't know anything, she'll go 'telllll me tellll me'. And now, my baby's going back for good. Said she'll be coming back soon next year. Well baby, wishing u all the best! We'll keep in touch, that's a PROMISE! Hope to see u soon hun, REAL SOON!

And then Sunday came. its Haringey Food Festival and Super Sunday Football. The food festival was alright. Its a yearly thingy. So, it was nothing special for me *yawn*. And then, its the most anticipated match ever witnessed by the world! *drum roll* Chelsea v Man United. woot woot! The noisiest Chelsea's fan i ever know is my Umpy. He's so noisy the whole bloody week about the game. Well oh Well. We went to the pub together, wearing Man United and Chelsea jersey respectively. And yes, i am having the last laugh! while he, he put on a jacket covering the jersey, and 'zip up' all the way home. Me? i am not that mean. Yup, i laughed all the way, but that's about it! but come on, how can u not laugh? Can u BELIEVE that £50M man FAILED to score an open goal? BEST BLUNDER EVER!! well, Rooney kinda missed his penalty too. But that's different. Quoting what Evra said '"i prefer Wayne does it here than in Moscow" ouchh!! well then, i ain't being noisy for its not even quarter of the season yet. but hey, WE'LL SEE. 20th is going Man United's way. Yeah baby, its coming HOME this year..again!!! *evil laugh*

chelsea v man united

torres's miss of the season

so, it definitely was among the best weekends ever! nice food, good company, cute baby and most importantly, a very beautiful win. What else could u possibly asked for? looking forward for another nice weekends. for now, life is back to normal, nine to five! guess i'll see u lot soon.

easiest and yet hardest goodbye

today, i am officially not a crispbread girl anymore. its my last day today. i am definitely gonna miss the people i worked with, especially Beata.

crispbread

production area

I've been working with her side by side for the past 1 year. Even before she got pregnant. One year later, she's now a beautiful mother to be. We talked about a lot of stuff. From family matters to love life to bullshits to office politics. u name it! about almost EVERYTHING! she's the loveliest woman I've ever met. She's funny at times, and she definitely got little patience on trying to solve little things i.e trying to find a radio station(every time, i'll fixed it for us..pfft!). But working with her was awesome. She's very systematic which i guess that's what makes us a good team. She's also very good at giving advices. And most importantly, she's a very good friend! She's definitely for keep.

Beata's gift

the beautiful mommy-to-be

Its also a pleasure getting to know Wiola. She brought me in. Umpy asked her boyfie, and her boyfie asked her to try and take me in. So they did! She's very funny and like-able. Everything about her is funny. She have all this funny stories and funny jokes. They both are best-friend. So Beata is kinda place a "jabu-jabu" on Wiola, so that she'll get pregnant next(ha ha). A shame i didn't get the chance to get to know Carolina as much. Them 3 are best of friends.

Wiola, Beata, Lady and Dana

kurchachek!

Then there was John. John is this small Irish man who is so funny and have a very strong Irish accent. I was struggling to understand him the first time i met him. Even until today, he needs to repeat whatever he said, so that i'll be able to understand whatever he said, especially when he's joking about something stupid (won't let him laughing alone stupidly ain't it?) ha ha. Called him 'shortie' or 'johnny boy'. ok, maybe a bit meany, but he knows its just a joke. A very nice lad he is.

john is messing around

basically, everyone was being nice except my stupid manager. goodness me, he's getting on my nerves, EVERY TIME! oh no, im not the only one. EVERYONE in the factory sorta hates him. he loves the power they gave him. he's abusive..of the power! and obsess about it. he'll use it in anyway and every way he can. in short, whatever it takes! gosh, i can list all them bad things about him, and probably forever to name one good thing that i can remember, ever! goodness me. forgive me God for all them bad words i used towards him. blergh.

everything about the people in the factory was lovely, except the factory itself and yeah, the manager! despite the struggle to meet the order, to follow the manager's instructions and sometimes cold and sometimes hot factory, having Beata around makes everything looks easy and fun. although the clock does go slow at times, especially when we both were dying to go home as soon as we can..all the time. ha ha.

and thats why its so easy to say goodbye from all the bullshits from the manager and the factory. and yet, its a hard one as the bonding between me and the people i worked with was so good. i will miss them definitely. i will miss the route to work. i will miss the early morning bus. i will miss the white uniform. i will miss the blue cap. and mostly, i will miss the crispbread! it was a great pleasure knowing all of u lovely people. but its time to say goodbye to the factory, but i am not ready to say goodbye to you lovely lot. you're the best!

lovely wishes..thanks u lot!

awkward or funny

Scene 1:

The train is full..along came a man in his mid 30's, looking a bit disable..and think its fair to say a bit unsound mind. He pushed everyone to make his way through to the full seated train and asked them to make space for him in between two ladies(while showing the signal using both hands to move aside so he can sit in the middle!). so they did, he sat..and SMILE!

Awkward?

Scene 2:

The bus is half full. But still no empty seat. Suddenly a disgusting smell spread throughout the whole long bus. I try to move up and down the bus, trying to get away from the smell. Thought it was an old couple in front of me. Was standing in the space for baby stroller/wheelchair. Then a mom with her baby stroller got on the bus, i moved away thinking 'baby ure a savior'! Stand in front of the door, and the smell's still there. This time its stronger. i observed around and caught an old lady's attention who's sitting beside the door. she looked at me and pointed to a homeless man who was sitting behind me while giving me that smelly gesture (very smelly the whole bus can smell it, its too smelly that another 5mins on the bus, someone will have to pass me the vomit bag). By that time, God knows how embarrassed i was thinking that it was the old couple. God didn't wait too long to punish me!

Funny?


Scene 3:

Just finished work, rushing to go home. Get on the bus, waited for it to move and then it didn't for quite sometimes. Losing my patience, get off the bus and hop on another one thinking it will be fine. at least it did for a little while, i am finally on the moved. Next stop, the bus suddenly stopped for a long time. Watching out the window, then the broken bus which i get off earlier just passed us by. Guess what, yes! its now the second bus's turn to take a pissed outta me. So i finally decided to just walk, it was like 10mins away from home now anyway. While i was walking, the second bus effing passed me by. f***k off!

Funny?


Scene 4:

was pissed one day at my lecturer. i supposed it was very much biased and unfair. so i decided to throw my tantrum at my sister. the better marks was eventually given to one of my mate. he's a good lad. so he's on my whatsapp. so is my sister. and unfortunately for me, his name was above my sister's name. i clicked on 'supposedly' my sister's name and start chit chatting and ranting about with the marks and my lecturer. saying my mate got better marks despite 'failing to discuss on the given topic' and me, i got f***ked despite 'having some very good points'. those quotes were feedback from my lecturer. half way the rant, i notice something was not right as she didnt reply. much to my concern, it was not my sister, but my mate. don't get me wrong, i didn't say anything bad about him, and its not his fault at all! but i felt guilty having to put him in the position just to make my point. kept saying sorry for as long as i remember, and he replied. said he was a bit hang over, read through the whole thing and said 'its ok'. i am busted. but i swear, i didn't mean no harm whatsoever. p/s: we are still friend!

awkward?

raya mood still are we?

so its the 7th day of Syawal. How are we doing so far? A month of 'dieting' went down the drain already? Those who were unable to fast due to certain circumstances, have we pay it back already? Puasa Enam perhaps? Done visiting relatives near and far? Any luck on receiving angpau Raya? Ticking any box are we? Its always these normal situations every time its the first week of Syawal. Some people will tick almost all boxes, whilst others most possibly tick half of them boxes. Unlike me, i ain't ticking any box whatsoever. Same 'consumption' amount of meals, not doing the Puasa Enam (my bad), definitely no relatives to visit and surprisingly (haaa), zero amount of angpau Raya. So what have i been doing for the past 7 days of Syawal. Let's reminisce shall we?

1st Syawal


had a job interview and cooked for both umpy and i. called Aini, wished her Selamat Hari Raya and guess what did i get in return?

Lady: Oi, Selamat Hari Raya!

Aini: Oi, belum lagi lah..

Lady: Sudah lah!

Aini: Belom lah!

Lady: Gosh, sudah raya lah hari ni!

Aini: Abis, bley buka puasa laa ni eh? *giggle*

Lady: Dah boleh raya laaaaa.. *tap forehead*

by the way, that phone call was made at around 2 in the afternoon. so she's basically been fasting the whole half day of 1st Syawal(that woman!). so i am kinda her savior for the day, or she'll most probably celebrate her Raya on the 2nd of Syawal *grin*

ayam masak merah / rendang

2nd / 3rd Syawal

been working the whole day at the bakery. been telling people i am finally off fasting and is celebrating my Eid Mubarak. So basically been getting, or should i say been asking to be wished Eid Mubarak the whole day *flips hair* back to normal meals. sigh

4th Syawal

got a date with Suzanne. window shopping for some nice working pants/clothes and apparently got my eyes stuck on few things including a not-needed trench coat! *damn* its nice. will most probably return and get'em! *evil laugh* oh, and i lost my Oyster Card which i had it with me for the past 1 year. must i lost something every year every time? i hate the feeling of losing something and that i does affect my mood. luckily it was already 630pm when i notice i didn't have it anywhere with me *blimey* later that night, umpy and i went to the pub nearby to watch England trashed Bulgaria, 3-0.

5th Syawal

initial plan was to go for a swim(although i don't know how to swim). but umpy got disappointed with the weather, and knowing his patience level, he won't wait for the sun to come up a bit later in the afternoon. so he decided to go to his mates' and me, enjoying the open house organized by the MASDUKE(i think) with dearest Zaty and Sani. Luckily we got each other, or i might as well jump off the bridge with disgusting foods they served us, and the wrong table we decided to enjoy the already-sucky food with some lunatic wannabes. but i got to eat nice Simpulan Kasih at Zaty's and it was oh so good, that i can't stop munching it! *faint*

oh! oh! we decided to watch Paranormal Activity 2, but then we also "mutually" decided to play with our cells while watching the movie. the movie is playing, Zaty the movie spoiler, Sani the listener and me the smoker but we all have one thing in common, we WERE ALL PLAYING WITH THE BLOODY MOBILE all the way. we're multi-tasking and we're pretty much good at it *rolls eyes* suddenly, its the climax of the movie, NO ONE knows whats happening. but pretending that we did pay attention to the movie, and start discussing what actually happened! EPIC you lot!

sani / zaty / lady

selamat hari raya

6th Syawal

the weather was so bad yesterday, that we decided to stay in. umpy NEVER stay in until late in the evening but he did yesterday. the record was finally broken. umpy have this thing in his head "i don't wanna stay at home the whole day. i will go mental!" and because of that mantra, we finally get out of the house at around 5pm, hanging around the neighborhood, and went back home at around 7pm. that's about it really!

7th Syawal

hand in my resignation notice. normal working day. cook chicken porridge for dinner and also writing up this blog. wow! never know my life is so exciting..who am i kidding?! yes, MYSELF! oh well, got tonnes of revision to do for my ACCA exams, and yet here i am! blergh. 15 more minutes, and then its Eastenders time! adios amigo.

dinner

Have a good week ahead u lot!

I am blessed

happy Eid Mubarak people. its the 3rd day of raya today. its not so sad anymore like the first time i was here celebrating the eid alone. now i kinda used to the idea of celebrating it away from home, or shall i say not celebrating it whatsoever. it felt different. the ambient is no where on the radar. all i did was calling some friends and wish them 'Selamat Hari Raya' and that's it. i am sucks at cooking apparently. i do cook. but nothing BIG like rendang or lontong or something like that (gosh i swear im salivating right now). so Raya or not, it doesnt makes any different. pathetic!

was working on the last day of Ramadhan. then got myself a second interview on Hari Raya itself, and then cook some good food (in my own 'good food' term) and then its back to normal. literally, i wanted to go home before Ramadhan kicked off last month, but then i decided to stay so that umpy have someone to celebrate his Bahram with. and then, i got to save some money for my visa. but now when i come to think about it, i actually made a right decision to stay. not only i got to save some money, i also got myself a JOB! i am now successfully employed! yeeeehaaaaaa

feel so blessed. raya feels much better now. Rezeki Syawal i called it. honestly cant wait to start working again. i mean, working in an office and not in the factory. i will no longer be that crispbread girl anymore. oh well, they have too many crispbread girls now! dont think they'll even bother about one unimportant crispbread girl leaving them. so will be serving the notice period starting next week. fingers crossed things turn out alrite. apparently, got confused with my notice period which needs to get sorted by next week.

other than that, Man United won 8-2 against Arsenal *grin*. i feel so blessed. really really blessed. i have family who supports me all the way, friends who has always been there for me and umpy for the patience (u have no idea how spoil i can get!) most importantly, to Dear Allah, who has been listening to my prayers. the time has finally come for me to shine. i've been waiting for this moment forever now. oh well, i thought i just share the good news with my blog. Thanks God for everything. I never lose faith no matter how hard some people tries to get me down. its the mantra that i have with me. the harder u push me down, the stronger i become. InsyaAllah.
