Sewing Class- The First Outcome

Sewing, knitting, shooting, baking, cooking, writing...
I would love to learn/do all these...and a lot more.
But still, i have to save a portion of my 24hrs to the two people who need me the most. So one step at a time would do.

Introducing my first sewing kit.
Just to mention a few, solena(?)paper, tracing papers, measuring tape, the chalks,



The rulers, 'pencil case' and bag :) nak g kelas


Ive finished my first blouse (if you can call this as one) and am working on long skirt at the moment. The blouse wasnt really an eye catching and i would certainly demand for my money back, if a tailor turned mine into this! But then, the fact that i made it myself, Ive to say, Im proud to present you...

my first blouse. hehe :P

A compliment?

We had a late dinner last night. The house assistant was 800++ km away in her hometown for some unavoidable reasons. It was a monthly ritual. Although i've been doing all the cook myself, and she would help me only with the messy preparation,i found out that it actually took me twice the time normally spent to cook the same food and to clean the kitchen. Huhu~

Ive made some simple masak lemak cili padi ayam, a very simple telur masak sos, and an extra simple taugeh masak kicap.

The day before was an exhausting and long day. I felt fainted few times during my normal visit to the sewing class. To wish that i can get away with these simple meal maybe too much, and a little drop in the blood pressure shouldnt be an excuse, i know, but at least, i made him his request, masak lemak cili padi.

After he finished his meal, he started to sip on the soup from the taugeh masak kicap. It was a rare sight, for first, he wasnt a fan of vege- to be honest. and secondly, he didnt really like taugeh masak kicap! Even those prepared by my MIL!

Him : Sedaplah taugeh masak kicap nih!
Me : Wow wee, abang makan taugeh masak kicap?!
Him : Hehe, sedap!
Me : Sedap? Aikk...
Him : Rasa macam masakan orang kampung.
Me : Memangla tu masakan kampung. Tapi selalu tak suka (makan)..
Him : Yang nih rasa macam orang kedah yang masak.
Me : Aikk, selalu kutuk2 masakan orang kedah? (inside joke)
Him : Haah, tapi ni special. Nih macam masakan orang kedah yang baru kahwin.
Me : .....

Grr... after all,
was it meant for compliment?Or is he actually...
:P

Gohoubi

1. Finished his proposal.
2. Got some small gohoubi (japanese: reward/present) from him.



3. Plus, he took me to some candle day light brunch at



4. He submitted the proposal yesterday,and was told that his application would be submitted with the next batch since the application for the first batch would be preceded to KPTM this Monday. So, no rezqi yet. Takperla..

5. At 2.30++pm, he was told that the meeting would be held at 3pm if he really wanted to catch up with the first batch, which left him less than 30 minutes to finish his ppt slides. Huh~

6. Due to obviously the lack of time, he had to rely on the proposal itself (in Word) for the presentation.

7. Alhamdulillah. It really recharge my self-esteem since only 3 small-small things needed some modification, i mean, his parts, like narrowing down his scopes of research.
My job was considered good la kan, hubby kan, if not excellent? :P
haha...(obviously lama dah tak kena puji)
except for the expected results which Ive modified-but-he-had-no-time-to-reprint-them...so expectedly, yang tuh pun kena gak (reprint the new one jer la).

8. I have no doubt at all in his ability/knowledge in control and robotic thingy. But i am actually, honestly, sincerely, quite amazed that even in this busy time, he managed to read some lit reviews on the development of telesurgery in Malaysia which i'd suggested. ingatkan dia tak baca... Suspect respect betul
(Hubby, if I butter up you like this, would i get another gohoubi?)

9. This time, it's my turn to reward ourselves with some desserts



There are still many things to do, and I have a feeling that there would be some difficult and busy times ahead of us, but I..

am trying to live one breath at a time.

The Little Helper

Aisyah is the little helper.

1. I'll take the clothes from the higher line while she do the rest




2. She is a bit particular when it comes to cleaning the hidden spots




3. Double-checking on how mama had arranged the fridge




4. She couldnt tolerate a dusty tv set




5. Last but not least, she'll be ready to help papa to hunt for the evil mosquitos




Our little helper wannabe :)



p/s: im glad this time of cny, i dun have to b in kl... i cant stand the very loud sounds of firecrackers until 1am...i actually called the police to report! hahaha... luckily he told me that they're allowed to do so... whatever. annoying betul! i can still tolerate the noise until, say...1am. But 5am?

The Cat Charmer

She loves cats. She loves cats. She loves... cats!






I know some people think that to let a baby/toddler plays with cats is a bit unhygenic whatsoever...which left me wonder, how children during my days stayed healthy and crazy though we poked the ducks' head, yanked the chicks, chased the gooses, and stroke the kittens' tails etc etc. Hmm..
