?”Eee..think she’s mental la,semua orang pun dia mau add” – that statement made me laugh out loud tadi…walaupun tu sinis..tapi ada juga kebenaran dalam tu statement..i mean siapa juga pi add orang yang kau inda kenal di dalam your FB friend list? We may be friend but that doesn’t mean you are my friends friend too…tsk tsk tsk…

Then, Daniel replied to my shout out like this…

Daniel Franklin Gomez for me, i accept friend requests from virtually anyone, because my underlying reasons is danielfranklingomez.com, muahaha! marketing bebey!

to which i replied

Emelda Vincent-Gomez Dan-Tht’s ok kalau orang yg add..but if you were the one who is adding people you don’t know to your friend list..don’t you think that’s weird?

Now, does it sound like we are arguing in this comment??

Give me your say…..

And oh do’t worry, This has nothing to do with any sale pitch or whatsoever..it is just me asking the question

” DO YOU THINK WE ARE ARGUING??”

Tell me… hehehhe

p/s: I will try and tell you the whole story after this post..so stay tune!

It felt like it happen only yesterday that i  got HITCHED officially and now looking back it’s  nearly two months since 18.07.09 ( few more days it’s going to be two month) .

Both of us was so busy right after the engagement..we didn’t really get to enjoy our new status  as newly “ENGAGED”  and now we are already on the roll with the wedding plan.  The only time we had for ourself to enjoy our newly engaged status was our Krabi holiday..LOL!

As soon as we got back from kk.. things just got into fast farward mode ( that’s how i felt) i have to study and prepare my training module, going into meetings after meetings and then straight on to conducting training after training. On top of that, every weekend now we have to do loads of travelling, checking  out wedding stuff, flowers, venues, cakes.. make up artist..etc etc and not to forget..i have RCIA class to attend. Wahahahahhaahah… FULL BLAST YO!

In month of october, we have wedding course to attend, Feb flying back to KK for wedding interview and  i guess when we are there.. another loads of stuff to check and see. I am lucky to have my sister Anitha to help me out with kk side wedding reception..if not..haha, im sure im gonna pull my hair out!  Not a pretty sight to see when the bride start pulling her hair isn’t it..LOL!!!

Ahh.. even writing this up made me feel “waaa..so banyak kerja” but im not alone… I have a strong support from my family back home, sister and brother is running the whole show there, im so lucky to have them as my siblings… kalau inda i have no idea how am i gonna deal with the whole situation i believe.

In Kl, i have Dan’s mom, brother and cousin  sister helping us out and of cos… my strong macho man Daniel.

Saw this NC short term health insurance, that reminds me..i need to get my insurance stuff done too soon. ah..another to do list..

The front view of the wedding gown which was posted at my earlier post.

I am ready to be  the wife to Mr Daniel Franklin Gomez

We’ve been very busy lately specially the weekend. Never really had a time to sit, relax and enjoy the weekend anymore like how we used to be hehe..but im enjoying every second of it. Although it is really tiring but heck…im not complaining at all, LOL!! Which woman would complain when you get to try on like tonnes of beautiful gown and make you feel like a princess at every fitting kan?

This was one of the gown fitting i did at Pretty in White in Hartamas… Love the detailing on the train…i think its gorgeous but nope..this is not gonna be my wedding gown ;P ni teaser saja ba…

Ba ok la..im off to check out online backup. I need that magic lil stuff to store all my pictures and work. My laptop memory is getting “stuffier” by day now..:P

Floating village..

I really enjoy this boat ride. despite me being wet with the unpredictable weather in Krabi

See… exactly what i said.. sekejap sana tu awan jadi hitam.. and bikin takut ar, sebab the wind was soo strong macam ada ribut pula sia rasa kadang kadang.

Me, riding bike on my own. I manage juga.. tapi inda la pi jalan raya.. only at the  hotel parking area. Best pula kan ride motor ni…LOL!LOL!

This was taken on the day we’re leaving Krabi…hahah kesian ba kami .. kepunan matahari Krabi.

Just like the signage i was holding said.. this restaurant serve clean and good food!! Yummy.. tapi jangan harap makanan sini murah sangat….1 beef, vege , tom yam soup (small), 2 steam rice and 2 drinks.. can cost you up to Rm 34-36  but you won’t regret it la.

Ba sia mau surf  and look for tv stands dulu, i think it’s time for me to do so.. get a new tv stand at home

Ba, till then. Nite peeps.

I can’t afford to gain anymore weight.. kalau inda susah la sia mau kasih percaya orang yg sia ni rapid result training development coach for celebrity fitness and im gonna face the whole team tomorrow..adeh segan pula sia.. all my team semua fit fit ni..sia saja yg hmm lembik pressure betul..

Anyhow.. this is my second week working with celebrity fitness Malaysia.. so far so good.. i hope everything will go well.. i hope training will go smoothly and all trainers ok..i have not seen them in person yet  but i will tmrw. First step, is to get to know them, get some fedback before i proceed with the training… im still kinda lost with my new work, but im sure i will be ok once i get used to the system and all.

The only thing that im still trying to get used to even after 8 years in this industry is ..WAKING UP early in the morning!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Im sooooooooo not a morning person… sigh. Every morning i could hear Dan’s cheerful voice greeting me.. and here i am greeting him back with my grumpy voice..i would lay in bed as long as i can before i drag my butt out to the shower room..kalau sia masih budak kecil lagi now..im sure i would have cried and throw pillows on the floor showing my tantrum in the morning…LOL! Yea, yea..i’m a spoil brat…. but hey.. i never actually had the luxury to sleep in till late in the morning ok since i was 7 years old… day in day out..5:30am sharp, i have to wake up and go for my swimming training sudah..only now after leaving Sabah and stay on my own..sia dapat that luxury..tapi tu pun bukan all the time. sob sob.. i cant lay in bed the whole day cos i have 1 big baby to jaga..and another one fury lil cute thing waiting for me t greet her in the morning. Hey..jadi perempuan ni susah juga kan?? Kenapa la lelaki inda bulih jadi pregnant ar?? kan baik kalau diorang boleh..mungkin they will be bit more sensitive kan?? wahahah ..totally out of topic ni ni hari..

Hmm..ba ok la.. cukup la sia merepek inda tentu pasal today.. im too tired ba ni.but i have tonnes of assignment menunggu untuk di clear kan dalam inbox sia..so baik sia merepek daripada duit sia terbang!!!

Ba ok la..nite nite everyone!

Can you guess how much does this food and drink cost me in Jakarta? If you have been following my post about Jakarta, im sure you will be able to guess the price…. roughly.

Nothing is cheap when it comes to mall food court and not knowing many places where i can get food that similar to Malaysia food. i don’t have much choice but to have my lunch and dinner at mall food court. I wish i had someone bringing me around though..unfortunately…no one was free..sob sob….

But one thing i love about JKT mall food court is their cleanliness!!! It’s wayyyyyyyyy cleaner than Malaysia mall food court…seriously..even their toilets..OMG!!! I think i can even walk kaki ayam in the loo and not feeling disgusted at all, LOL!! And oh…I love the fresh fruit juice too.. its so pure and yummy! Wish i can find one place here in Malaysia where they serve 100% pure juice…no sugar, no ice and less water…hmmm yummy!! Anyone out there know where i can get this??

Anyway, if you are looking for Outer Banks rentals for your holidays outside of Malaysia, just hit the highlighted “note” . I wish i can go to one of the houses…but ….. it would be awesome if i could rent one of the houses there for my honeymoon or even my wedding venue…;) but hmm..mimpi saja la Mel….LOL!

this is not a Christmas party invitations…but if you wanna checked out just that..then i suggest click the link given.

I forgot my handphone back in my apartment..decided to asked the taxi driver to make a u turn and drive me back to the apartment. To my surprise ..he was very unhappy about it..he even sigh loudly showing his “happiness” to me.. i thought that was really rude of him.

Exactly 10:45am, after leaving my apartment again…he made a big bang sound in the car..i was shocked, he was hitting his stering wheel few times and started cursing! I thought that was really really rude of him to do so.. i wanted to asked him is everything ok when suddenly…i saw this…

I  was stunt, scared and panicked! I thought it was a riot and at that point suddenly the image of my mom, dan and gummi flashed in my head..i thought im gonna be gone in that  sea of people and motor bikers….

Not until the cab driver started saying..this is why i was rushing just now..i wanted to escape from this crowd..its Jakarta election day tomorrow and today is the last day for the supporter to do their campaign…i was relief upon hearing that news…but still not good enough to make my nerve calm down. Along the way to FX mall, i was really alert of my surrounding..i was really worry that  a riot might just start out of nowhere…

You will understand it if you were in my shoe..LOL! In Malaysia, campaign was not done this way..so that really my first… my cab was surrounded by bikers..with flags.. small placard.. music blasting  from the bike saying UNDILA SBY ( something like that) and the whole bikers came with coordinated t-shirt colors! OMG..to me it really look like a riot and im stuck right in the middle of it! My heart beat was racing..seriously! And to calm myself down..i texted Daniel..but unfortunately..Dan being Dan…he replied to me in a very naughty way…LOL!!

The 15min rides turn to be 45 minutes cab ride for me..and i dont have to mentioned la how much teh cab cost me on that day…LOL! It was a BOMB! LOL!!

Apparently, the traffic jam and the campaigner will go even more crazier towards the evening…. there will be more supporters on the road.. more cars.. more bikers ..more buses..all transporting the supporters to the stadium next to FX mall…and that’s exactly what happen in the evening… but to the locals… this was nothing! It used to be even MORE crazier…. “gasp”

This was around 3-4pm in the evening…pictures was taken from the gym lounge area.

And this was around 5pm….

I was thankful to God that nothing bad happen that day.. jakarta was safe although to me.. that could just start something nasty and that was one of  my most unforgetable experience while being in Jakarta

I forgot what was this one called..i know its not ketoprak for sure ( That’s another food that’s similar as this one)… aiya tua sudah la me.

KFC!! Food that i visit pretty often here, LOL!! They don’t serve it with Coleslaw or mash potato but with nice warm yummy rice I will miss this one, for sure!

Soto Ayam

Rice that comes with the Soto Ayam.

The Bakso! My favourite food here

I love this drink..wahahah! Ada rasa Jasmine tea..which for malaysian Jasmine tea is luxury tea (sort of )

Sweet and sour chicken, it tasted exactly like that..tapi it wasn’t called sweet and sour..sia lupa namanya..LOL!

Nasi Kuning which i thought it was nasi lemak at first…LOL!!

Kuey Tiaw Goreng Penang! Its so expensive la here..its like Rm9 per plate!

Pecel Ayam… macam nasi ayam tapi ada lain sikit taste dia..i think its because of the sambal.

Krupuk@ keropok..i like this one but i can never finish it..besar sangat! Oh Btw, you take this with your meal

Friday, exactly 7 more days from today i will be done and over with Jakarta life and i will start my new journey in KL. Im am so happy and excited about this but at the same time worried and nervous about it. Im not so sure if my training here did gave me enough confident and knowledge to bring it down to the trainers back in KL. I do hope i have though.

It was hard for me here in Jakarta. That’s the truth..i did enjoyed the time here (people are warm and friendly) but at the same time i had fair amount of “sufferings” as well .

First it was the food..i had hard time adjusting to the food here. Food that was familiar to me back at home was really costly here in Jakarta, cheap food means i have to take the local dish which honestly doesn’t really go well with my taste bud. Then came the language.. this was the toughest part for me. Because of the language barrier, i had hard time trying to understand the training module, speaking to the local and getting around town. You may think they understand us Malaysian but that’s not true..our language is different from them! So if you are coming down to Jakarta..i  suggest that you get a good language book in hand in case you don’t know any local here! Our pronounciation and the way we say it is totally different from them! We may have some word similar but mostly..nope!

Jakarta city offer you alot of shopping malls  and most of them are as big as Pavillion back in KL and barang barang sini pun inda la murah sangat. I can say, it’s similar to what kl can offer you and since price doesnt differ much from kl, i  didnt shop for the first time in my oversees trip.

Jakarta is a metropolis city. Offices was build on sky high building, huge, tall and beautiful! (rental pun sia dengar cantik juga ) But malangnya, the houses here are so scattered that it looks so messy and almost.. menyakitkan mata (i think they need the Outer Banks homes agency to help them )  and the road condition in this housing area really reminds me off jalan Ranau to Sandakan… betul betul rosak cuma beza dia ..you get this di dalam perumahan jakarta di tengah tengah bandar and bukan di kampung.

Im sure by now, you guys know that Jakarta is not the cleanness city you can ever get. Orang sini buang sampah merata rata tempat!  Once i was in a cab on the way to one of the club, the cab driver senang saja buka window trus buang sampah dari dalam kereta like its not a big deal ( memang pun its not a big deal for them but i was so shocked) and another time, i was walking with one of my colleague here..tengah syiok syiok bercerita.. he just spat right there and then in front of me!  I was speechless when that happen..sia kegelian trus, LOL! Mau tell him off..but hmmm.again i don’t think its unusual thing for them.

Yup, thats how i see Jakarta… You may see it differently from me..but hey, we are not the same people right?

But one thing i love about Jakarta is the people… they are so nice warm and lovely! I guess that will be the one thing that i will miss the most about this beautiful yet crazy place the warmed and friendly smile of Jakartan’s!

Anyhow,  some of you have asked me is it worth to come and visit Jakarta..of cos i would say yes! Come and see the place yourself..experienced it! You need to do that to know the place yourself…don’t take my words 100% ..again like i said..we may see it differently tapi i won’t recommend it if you wanna come here alone for a longggggggggg holiday! LOL!!

To do chappati dough is not as challenging as rolling the dough…although making a good chappati you will need the dough texture to be just nice..not too soft and not too hard…but i still think rolling dough is much more challenging than mixing it.

My first attempt rolling “round” chappati was not very successful. I never manage to make it as round as in the mamak shop does..i always ended up rolling some weird shape and once i even manage to roll a Sabah Map, Seriously! But i didn’t manage to snap a picture of that particular “map” cos the hungry boy at home wallop it in no time ( This  is one of his fav food)

Anyway, i’ll show you pictures of my first  attempt making a round chappati..

That’s my another way of trying to make a round chappati…using my hand instead of the roller…LOL! But as you can see..i’m just not making any round chappati…i made some weird chappati shape instead.

and my dough…hahaha..i didnt do well with it too…i kinda made it bit tooo hard or too thin..im not sure cos it turn out to be a crispy chappati instead..LOL!

Another not so round chappati shape…. see the one on the chappati pan…

But after making few rounds of chappati for dinner and breakfast  at home and with some guidance from Dan’s mom…  i finally manage to make a decent round chappati and good dough now..im still not 100% perfect yet with everything..but at least im not making any crazy shape anymore, LOL!  One day, will show you the round shape chappati pictures but for now i need to check the undermount sink, i believe something must have clogged it..cos everytime i wash my dishes..the water doesn’t seems to drain away as fast as before..wonder what’s happening and i wonder if there is a way to clear the “kerongkong” of the sink??? Hmmm

Hah!  So much of my “I wanna be lazy on my birthday plan and talk” wahahhaha..so not! I ended up cleaning the house.. sweeping, mopping, washing all dishes, feed gummi,clean her cage and gave her shower…u know why?? Because of stupid American idol result! I was so irritated and sakit hati that Kris won the title..sometimes i wonder…Orang america ni ada otak ka inda da? Do they choose talent or look? I thought American Idol was talent contest not “beauty contest”…sigh..oh well..Im sure Adam will be a successful singer from today onwards even if he didn’t get to be crowned as American Idol Winner. Yeay to that! Nevertheless, Congrats Kris…wish you all the best and good luck with your new career!

Enough with AI..come back to me. So there’s so much of things has happen since the last day i updated my post. I when for an interview yesterday at Sri Kembangan..not sure if  im gonna get that job or not  but if  i do ..hmmm..i may need to rethink again..LOL!! Basic rendah and the travelling time needed is ridiculously panjang from home to Kembangan its like 45 minutes for me…adeh deh.. pengsan la sia kalau hari hari spend that much time on the road to work and back home and that timing tak masuk traffic jam…imagine if its peak time…arg..i may spent like 2 hours…LOL!

And then in the evening, i volunteered for Harlem Globetrotters event.  Dan’s company needed help and i offered myself to do it, easy job..just usher Datuks and Datins to their sit..and thats about it..the hard part was..to recognize them and then “halau” orang tak faham bahasa…yes… sometimes people can be such a pain in the arse la.tsk tsk tsk..i had so much fun at the event…i laughed so much that my jaw was hurting and same goes to my tummy… they were damn funny and talented!  Will show pictures later.

On Monday, i made a trip to KLIA…No i was not there to fetch anyone or buy ticket to some exotic get away holiday, but i was there for my cousin and my lil niece Brooklyn. They have 3 hours to spare before their flight back to Sdyney..since i do not know when will i see them again.. so i took the chance to go and see them. I only have 1 half hour time together but it is worth every toll money and gas for me. Ya la.. like i said..i do not know bila lagi i can see them..they come back to kk once a year and its not always the same month and date as my travelling plan back to kk…so yea.. and OMG, my niece is such a cutie pie, friendly, talkative ( in baby language) and hahahah…very naughty. She rebut my fruit from my hand and finish it up..yes, my cousin bought few bananas from Kg…sia makan sikit saja..the rest habis my niece makan..hahah..Brook sempat lagi kasih pecah one glass in the airport..she nearly gave her mom a heart attack! I hope i will be bale to see them again soon…like in a years time from now, not 5 or 10 years down the road

Today was my 1st birthday celebration at Dan’s family house ( last year we were out celebrating it). Dan’s mom made me a cheese cake(yummy cheese cake) and Dan’s Step dad cooked me dinner. At least one of my wish today came true heheh..Im so thankful for their nice warm gesture… ya la, im not their daughter ( yet) but they really made an effort for my day..althought its small celebration..but it meant a lot to me. Thank you Auntie and Uncle..and Sumee for being there, celebrating my birthday together. Really appreciate it.

So im a year older ..im officially 28 today …gonna hit the number 3 soon… am i hating it you ask?? NOPE..i dont..i like my age and im waiting for the number 3 to come soon too ( patiently)… Even with number 3 in front..i dont think my life will change a lot…i will only be wiser, richer, prettier and happier!  Im loving my life!

How about you? Loving your age and embracing it gracefully??

He came to the door, gave me the silliest smile just the exact smile when he has something “crazy” in his mind. I knew right away there is something going on..but i just didn’t know it was this time.

When he handed me the piece of paper..i thought to myself..OMG…what is it now? I took it without much enthusiasm… Read  it briefly and then put it aside but deep inside i was secretly smiling, touched and at the same time wanted to laugh my ass out!

He asked me to come near him and handed me an ugly plastic bag .. I looked at him thinking to myself..WHAT?? A TAG?? You gave me a TAG?? But why?? I don’t need one…But not wanting to hurt him, i took the tag and put it aside ,smiled and said thank you.

I guess he saw my facial expression( it’s not that im not happy but  i was seriously feeling really down, with everything that’s going on in my life now and  period is not helping too) and he quickly said ” Im sorry my love, that’s all i can afford this year”….

Today,once again i took the note out and read it for another time… and this time i laughed.

Love,

We may not be rich in cash but i know… we have enough love to last us for longgggggggg time.

(Although,sometimes i know we feel like kicking each other’s butt out,but what the heck . which couple never have dissagrement anyway??)

And yes, as your lil naughty note say..i will remember you whenever i pass a toll from this day onwards!

May the future brings you a job,

And may it be more than a BLOWJOB ( for me),

May we make love until we grow old and saggy,

and may you remember my love whenever you pass A TOLL!

-Daniel F. Gomez-

That poem was the most expensive present i ever received this year.

P/s: Im keeping this till we grow old and saggy..:D

week i intend to do CIRCUIT TRAINING instead of the usual weight training.

This type of training can be versatile and it moves quickly because you’re going from one exercise to another instead of doing continuous cardio or straight set training with weights. You can do all strength circuits, all cardio circuits or a mixture of the two for a challenging, calorie-burning workout.

Circuit training combines 8-10 exercises that are completed one right after the other, with little or no rest in between. Perform each exercise for a specified time (like 1 minute), rest for no more than 30 seconds before moving on to the next exercise. Once you complete all exercises, that is considered one circuit. The total number of circuits you complete is up to you. For beginners, start with 30 seconds per exercise and increase the time as you get stronger. Another way to progress is to shorten your rest in between exercises and circuits.

To start, use the following criteria for choosing your exercises:

1. Pick exercises to work each muscle group.
2. Include exercises for agility and endurance (like jumping side-to-side over a phone book)
3. Don’t forget to work on your speed too. Incorporate sprints (if you can) or fast jogging in place.

Circuit training is great for beginners just getting started,because it allows you to build some total body strength while also working on your endurance. This can be great for a number of sports as long as you perform exercises specifically for what you want to accomplish.

Regardless of your goals, circuit training can be a great workout simply because of the variety. Running on a treadmill for 30 minutes or doing the same old machines can get boring over time. If you find you’re losing interest in your routine or that you’ve hit a plateau, think circuit training.

So this week… this is what i have come up with.

Warm up 10- 15 min.

1- Squat with lateral raise. – 1 min

2- Jumping rope- Both feet off the floor at same time.- 1 min

3- Push Up (choose your option, full push up or half push up) – 1 min

4- Star Jump/Jumping Jack – 1 min

5- Plank leg lift- 30 sec on each leg.

* Start in full/on knees push up position keeping the hip,shoulder square and tuck your abs in. Remember wearing the belt as i mentioned last week, yup exactly that you need to do”  Advance level- do this on exercise ball.

6-3 min Run

7-Tricep Dips- 1 min

8-Bicep Curl- 1 min

9-Side to side jump- 1 min

10-Alternate lunges- 1 min

11-Abs Crunches- 1 min

Rest 1 min before the next set workout .

Repeat workout for another round or cool down. You can do this workout 2 – 3 set per workout.

Remember, always do it at your own pace, intensity and level. At the end of the workout STRETCH, STRETCH and STRETCH

I think if you wait for me to upload my workout pictures…that would take ages to come.. So, i might as well just write  about it and then perhaps you can Google the workout routine. Sorry peeps, it’s just so hard to snap  pictures of myself working out without any help. And at night, by the time Daniel come back home..he would be death tired and don’t really wanna bother him with snapping my pictures.

And when im in the gym..i am not comfortable knowing that bunch of people will be looking at me like im one vain pot who could not stop snapping her own pictures while working out and i seriously do not want them to think i’ve lost my mind too..LOL!

So i guess for now..write up is good enough. (sorry peeps) But you can ask me questions on how to do the proper workout technique and will try my best to help you out from there

I alternate my workout 3 times a week. In between days you can either do cardio or just rest, your choice.

This workout regime is good for beginner to intermediate fitness level people. The only different is the repetition on each workout.For example, beginner level you may wanna start with 10-12 reps x 3 sets and for inter. level, you can go from 12 -15 reps x 3 sets.  After each workout routine please take your time to stretch and rest before going for your next set. Time rest in between reps is 45 sec to 1 min not more

So here my workout for this week. Its a full body workout ( i prefer doing full body workout at the moment instead of doing one day upper and next day lower body )

I start with MAJOR MUSCLE  first and finish off with mini muscle…

( remember this is MY workout routine, please choose your own intensity according to your fitness level and how you feel on that day.. do not be lazy..be true to yourself and if you can do more..go for it )

Squat

Chest push up – Full or half, your choice… but i would normally advice go for the half first and then slowly work your way up. Full pushup- On your toes , Half push up – On your knees.

Back extension – 20 sec on each side x 3 sets. This one you will need to lie down on your belly. Lift Right leg up and left hand of the floor.. imagine someone pulling your hand and your leg while doing this and extend…..you should be able to feel that pinch on your lower back… and then switch to the other side.Remember to swicth on your core muscle (like you are using a  tight belt one your waist) while doing this.

Tricep kickback-  You will need a bench and weight for this one…if you do not have weight, other option will be floor triceps push up or wall triceps push up  All that using only your own body weight.

Bicep curl- This one definitely need weights/resistance band.

Lunges – This one you can opt for body weight or add on weight. Your choice.

Shoulder upright row – Weight needed.

Last workout will definitely be my ABS… Upper,lower and side

All the above mentioned workout , i do 20 reps x 3 sets each, with 10 min warm up

You should be done with your workout in 1 hour and 30 min.. remember after your workout always take time to STRETCH,STRETCH and STRETCH It’s really important!
So i guess that’s it for today and if you have any questions… shoot away and i will try my best to help you out .

Happy working out  peeps and remember be safe and STRETCH!

OK so i have been slacking for the past few days..but it’s a long weekend so i can’t help but be lazy…LOL! I had pretty good week last week. Had good workout routine and also good weekend. Didn’t do much over the weekend but spent most of our time at shopping mall to catch X-Men ( damn good movie! Worth wacthing.. and i sooooo lurve hugh Jackman there!) and did some birthday present hunting .. heheh… My birthday present and Dan’s mom birthday present and yes Daniel always complaint when May comes..sebab dia bilang buntut dia koyak mau beli present for me and the Mom…LOL! Kesian.

I got my first present from Daniel last week… i got 4 books from him..YEAY!!! Me likey… i can’t wait to read all of the books! He bought me ( i choose he pay ;P)

1) Confession of an Air Stewardess by Little Black Dress Book Marissa Mackle.

2)Who’s That girl By Alexandra Potter

3)The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger – My first book out of Chic lit genre ( i think..im sure i have read other genre too but Dan said this is his first time seeing me getting book NOT from Chic Lit)

4)Hysterical Blondeness Little balck book by Suzanne Macpherson.

and i just found out i have few more books waiting to be read! LOL! typical me… suka menyimpan barang..

1) Got You Back – Jane Fallon

2)I take this Man Little black book by Valerie Frankel

3) The importance of being Married by Gemma Townley – “This is not wedding book but a chic lit book”

So in total i have 7  more books to go…wohooooooooooo!!!

I just finish reading UGLY by Constance Briscoe. True story of a loveless child deeply disturbing but ultimately inspiring.. The mother systematically abuse her daughter  both physically and emotionally,regulary beaten and starved. When she was 13 , the mother simply moved out and leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, electricity and food. But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start of life…..its really heartbreaking story….

Anyone out there have read those book listed above? Tell me what you think ..Good? Bad? Disaster?

Ba ok la…im off to create my work out routine for today…

P/s: Will do post of my workout routine soon ( once i can get all the workout photo’s taken,LOL!) I think with pictures it is so much better than just words… it’s easier to understand..don’t you think? Specially for the beginners..

Anyone out there wanted to do a very special and unique baby announcements? Click the link… im sure this will help you a lot!

You’ll need:

Medium/Large size fish – Any type of fish(i love Garupa fish so im using garupa here) Ginger, Garlic, soy sauce and cooking Oil.

Slice the garlic and ginger- thinly.

How to cook:

Heat the cooking oil in a deep wok. Once the cooking oil is ready…put in the fish for deep frying. Fry the fish until it turn golden brown color and set aside. Please set your fire on medium heat.

After that, take another frying pan..heat it up and use the remaining fish oil from the other wok to fry your ginger and garlic together- This should not take too long… again please medium heat only..garlic cook really fast..you would not want the garlic to be burned…pahit la!

Once your garlic and ginger turn golden brown..pour oil (the one you used to cook the garlic and ginger) ginger and garlic on the fish then add soy sauce. Walaa… you have your deep fried fish with soy sauce.

Easy huh? Here’s pictures for you

Yea, this is the first thing you need to do..Deep fry the fish ok i know my wok isn’t the best looking wok..but hey, it did the job very well

This is how you want your fish to look like..golden brown not burned.

Cook the garlic and ginger together… using the fish oil earlier on.

Then you serve it this way…. again..my pic is not the best looking pic ever ( not that i ever took nice pic anyway,LOL!) so please excuse me ok…but you get the drill kan??

P/s: If you are afraid of oil…as in..you are on diet…hehehe this is definitely not your kind of food..but if you don’t try it..you dont know what you are missinggggggggggg

Bah, happy cooking peeps

“I need to get back in shape before July… pengsan la sia kalau sia keep gaining weight…LOL!”

OK i’ve just finish my workout today and i’m feeling superbly good now. Nothing makes me feels sexier than sweating and working my butt out in the gym ;D Yes, i feel sexy when i am sweating,running on treadmill and felt that i did the best workout for the day. Anyway,since i know some of my readers love to workout too(or at least want to know tips)..i thought why not share what do i do when im down in the gym..working my butt off!

First thing first..i do not like to do the same workout routine every time but still maintain the basic of it. Example: If i want to work my tricep..instead of doing tricep pushup (which i did day before) i’ll change it to tricep dips today..just to keep myself motivated. I get bored really fast if i do the same thing over and over again. Moreover, your body need that “surprise” workout everynow and then…this is to prevent your muscle from getting TOOOO comfortable with the routine. You get me?

Before i lift any weights or do any body toning workout..i normally would run  my ass out on the treadmill/cross-trainer/bicycle or just me running around the room like “orang gila” for at least 15 min .. if not  the 15 min benchmark, then it will be my min requirement, burned 100 cal before i stop..LOL! Senang ja tu to reach 100 cal per time..:D “kalau sia lari lari around the room..sia pakai minit la..not calories burned.

*15 min cardio as a start for all beginners is sufficient enough and slowly increase the time once you are comfortable with your workout routine”

Then i would be doing some weights or toning workout.  My must workout routine is pretty much everything,LOL!! I start with my lower body..and then move on to my upper body and lastly (its a must) my abs and lower back.

And then i finish off with my stretch..again…stretching is really really important….this will help you losen up all those muscle after your workout…stretching will also help lessen the workout pain the next day…not 100% but at least better sikit badan the next day. And oh..this also will help you lenghten your muscle..unless you want your muscle to be berketul ketul la bila it fully developed…LOL!!

That’s how i workout out peeps… if u wanna know more ..u know what to do…tell me

Are you looking for diamond rings? If yes…click the link gurls!! happy hunting…

Hahahahah..yes you read the title right…another ebay stuff came in today. But this time it is all FOC..

I bought 120 pro make up palettes from ebay recently..but was kinda surprise to see the condition of the eyeshadow when it arrive at my door step..half of the palettes was broken and it was a total mess!

So feeling kinda disappointed with the product..i wrote an email to the seller telling them about the condition of my palettes. When i wrote that email, i expected the worse from the seller ( yea la,online purchase..mana la you can trust this people 100%  kan?)thinking that they may not exchange the product for me cause they can always said..it was not their fault.

But to my surprise, they only asked me for the palettes picture as proof and the next thing i know…they sent another brand new palettes FOC for me  with another set of moo moo brush!!!  WOHOOO!! So now, not only i have another set of eyeshadow but also another set of brushes!!!

Im soooooooooo happy with it!

Here’s the latest product pic…

So ladies, if you want to get yourself this product..i highly recommend this seller.. CHIC GALLERY!

They are very good seller,responsible and they reply to your email promptly too

Ok, since i live on a very tight budget nowadays..i decided to try this tutorial that i got from youtube.

Home made brush cleanser.

It’s pretty easy to do your own brush cleanser I tried doing the mixer today and clean my brush with it..it work superbly well..im happy with the tutorial. So if you are like me, living on a tight budget  or just don’t want to spent so much money on make up brush cleanser which can easily cost your from Rm20 to Rm70 plus plus…give this a try.

All you need is :

Mineral /Distilled Water

Alcohol, this is good to disinfect your brushes.

and some of these product, Leave on spray conditioner(only use the spray type not the lotion type)you need this to condition your bristles,  Baby shampoo or your daily shampoo just to give you that nice smelling effect (im using clairol) and some hand wash/ dishwash detergent to take of the oil wax from your brushes.

Measurement cups

Empty bowl for your cleanser…you will need empty bottle too to keep your extra brush cleanser liquid in it.

Now the mixing part:

1 cup water

1/4 cup of alcohol

1/2 tablespoon handwash/dishwash detergent

1/2 tablespoon of baby shampoo/your daily shampoo

1 tablespoons of leave in spray conditioner.

Gently stir everything together and walaa..you have your own homemade brush cleanser…

P/s: Do not stir or shake the mixer…you do not want the detergent to start sudsing/foaming.

Good luck Chicas!
