beberapa minggu kebelakangan ni asyik sibuk menguruskan hal rumah. survey sana, survey sini. alhamdulillah, renovation Part I almost siap. by end of year kontraktor tu janji, semuanya akan setel. pagi tadi pegi jenguk lagi rumah, almost 60% work complete. so far so good, takde masalah in terms of workmanship & project management. pendek kata, memang berbaloi amik zainal & the geng ni.

start dari pagi tadi sampai pukul 3 kami keluar - breakfast, car wash + hantar WML service, check rumah and zasss to bangi utk buat survey lagi. zafyra sangat2 letey sampaikan bila masuk kereta je, badan dia lembik & mata terus nak terlelap. so kesian anak mama. tapi yang herannye, dlm showroom tadi bukan main cargas? ajak duduk atas kerusi pun tak mau. la ni jam dah pukul 0649pm & dia masih tidur lagi. letey sangat2. sebelum maghrib kang nak kejutkan dia bangun.

esok plan apa pulak? MOH ajak gi nilai 3, survey apa yg patut. seumur hidup tak pernah lagi sampai tempat tu. so..dont know what to expect. our plan nak gerak awal pagi so by the time matahari dah tegak atas kepala, kami dah sedap2 duduk dlm kereta berair-cond, on the way balik rumah :D

pendek kata, selagi tak pindah masuk rumah ni, memang trasa endless lah mende2 yang nak disiapkan. tak sangka, dah sampai masa nak move out. terasa sangat2 beruntung buat keputusan nak beli rumah masa belum kawen dulu + booked lot yang belum bukak utk dijual. ada banyak kelebihan & keuntungan disebaliknye. oh, speaking about that, draft surat claim tak buat lagi! harus remind MOH utk kesekian kalinye. hehe. kalau diproses cepat, boleh dijadikan modal untuk membuat apa2 yang patut. moga2 urusan dipermudahkan.

minggu depan kami cuti panjang - balik ke SP. so kerja yang 2 hari je tu mcm tak boleh berapa fokus. sebabnya? dah lama tak cuti panjang & berehat2. am soo looking forward for this! MOH nak ajak jalan2 kat penang, pegi taman bunga LOL! so tunggu jela cerita gambar nanti.

plan cuti anda mcm mana pulak?

from the office. literally. but still i am connected to work being at home. monitor budak2 baru belajar ni, memang trasa jadik mak tiri 24x7. they are technically good alright, tapi bab2 nak manage communication dgn partners tu agak 'sengal' lagi. but they've shown improvements, which is good. harap2 lepas sebulan dua semuanya dah cekap buat kerja insya-Allah.

what i accomplished today so far? lets see..laundry, kemas rumah, kemas dapur. all those mundane stuff. tapi apa kelainannye hari ni?? i had a hair cut & hair treatment! sangat sukeee..kulit kepala terasa segar & rambut pun rasa healthy. budak yg potong rambut tadi tu pun sangat peramah. i think my last hair cut was wayy back masa zafyra just 3 mo++ lama gile kan? now that hair all set, nak mandi basahkan rambut pun trasa sayang.. hehehe. and oh, today jugak i get to ber'internet'. i wasnt connected at all last week due to work stuff - operation baru kick off; so macam nak pengsan gak la berhempas pulas kerja. everyday showed up by 0800 am and balik after 0630 pm. malam2 check email, bangun pagi pukul 4 pagi 5 pagi pun..check email. call office. hahahahha. gilerr.. nasib baikla MOH memahami *muacks!*

i need to do this more often. bukan buat kerja gila tapi bercuti-cuti di tengah minggu kerja. ada 23 hari lagi cuti utk tahun ni. agak2 bos bagi ke kalau aku cuti for the whole december?? hahahah

did i mention we got our home keys already?? MOH picked it up last week. tapi tak boleh move in or construct anything yet coz still pending for CF. expected no later than Jan '10! huhu now terasa sangat berdebar. all those time waiting for the construction to finish, takde perasaan langsung. need to start planning out things in this near future. moga2 Allah permudahkan urusan dalam hal ini.

it needs to be done. so now am changing mode from engineer to an interior designer *LOL* no-lah. but seriously, used to do it for fun (with mom) but need to put extra effort this time coz it'll be our dear home at stake *drumming fingers*

starting to count the days (t minus ??) ehehe but it'll be less than 4 months insya-Allah. lotsa thinking, scouting and $$ needs to be spared.. tsk..

Syawal 1430H

Alhamdulillah, we safely arrived KL last night at exactly 1200 am after a 4-hour drive. dats pretty short as compared to the usual 5 hours. maybe it was because of the lesser traffic and minus the stopping hour for dinner. mom made us a hearty meal before we took off..so our tummy was quite full for the night.

It was so much fun to spend a week Hari Raya celebration at my hometown this. in short, it was a "raya sakan" mood for me. no words could actually describe how happy i was - being home with mom+dad+all my siblings, preparing pagi raya meals, last minute sewing for hari raya dress (yes, mom still saved some for me this year), doing hari raya visits, balik kampung trip, receiving hari raya guests and lots more.

MOH tekun anyam ketupat. zafyra tekun gak, main remote ctrl tv :P

abah, ketua anyam ketupat

sambil anyam ketupat, masak rendang di dapur

ketupat kosong

fresh ketupats baru keluar periuk

cubaan orang puasa utk telan ketupat

OH definitely added one more skill to his list - mengayam ketupat satay. he made 5 ketupats in less than 2 hours. being a newbie, i suppose that is something to be proud of. while me actually a pure johorian, cud never make one *sigh* i've tried tapi semuanya tak menjadi LOL. takpe, i leave that to MOH for passing the skills to our children...teheheh.

hmmm..did i mention that lil zafyra too got a new skill? yes, she mastered memanjat and menurun tangga in just one day! aiyohhh..pening kepala mak. i hope i didnt forget to warn her babysitters kat nursery about this tomorrow.

happy dah tere panjat turun tangge

oh well, i dont want to say too much. lets have a look at some of the pics we manage to take last week. am still homesick at this moment..tsk (never have this for quite some time) i hope it wud go away soon

Discovered this toy with MOH last weekend. definitely will be using that as part of the process of building our dream house. i hope i have more off days to learn and make good plans with this. i'm such a slow learner (i think). lucky that i have MOH whose more IT savvy than me to help make things easier *.* perhaps i'll be the one who put up the design part after he finishes drawing the basic construction part hehe.

i'm still not back to the office *yippie* will be going to put some money in the bank in short while & buying some groceries @ nearby JUSCO for tonight's dinner. i hope nasi goreng china + sayur campur will work for both grown ups and the todd. maybe some sambal sotong to spice things up :)

better get going coz going to pick zafyra early today!

I'm all into this interior design thingy lately. pantang nampak pictures on house furniture, architecture, wall paints, window finishing, kitchen ideas etc, mesti nak tengok and observe habis2an. including this quiz. gives me some design ideas for the house =)

This quiz is fun coz you got to rate things between "love it" to "hate it". Turn out that my style is 40% contemporary, 40% vintage modern & 20% cottage chic.
