I Need A Break!

Hello friends… (and it feels good to know that I’ve been missed *perasan kejap!*)

I know…I know….It’s been a while since I last updated my blog. I feel guilty for not being able to visit my regular ‘Pit Stops’ and even when I did, I didn’t leave any trails for time did not permit me. I’m so very sorry …..!!!!!

Life’s been pretty busy lately. My husband was in town for 3 days last week and when the weekend ended and Monday came, I was back in my normal mode again …. work! work! work!

We didn’t do much last weekend. We had our brunch at Lemon Garden last Saturday and we hit Cyberview Lodge (again!) to unwind after we filled up our tummies with tons of fat, calories, sugar, carbs, etc…..

Look at what I had on my plate!



















….no wonder I had no trouble sleeping that night, at least I didn’t have to worry about what went into my body through my mouth that day. It only dawned on me the next day when I woke up! And I spent the whole Sunday feeling guilty for eating so much….. boleh?

Anyway, what do I do when I don’t spend my time going around Klang Valley surveying and hunting for nice places to eat? Normally I would cook and bake (top priority!) Or sometimes I would paint….haa! Tak percaya? Hehehe… yes, I like to paint but I’m not good at it so all my paintings are for my personal use only… (in other words, I’m better off decorating cakes J)

Sight the evidence…

Zura,
your paintings/artwork are beautiful - ternganga mulut ku and terkebil-kebil mata ku memandang gegambar molek yang tersergam indah....... though I wish they're bigger photos cause my eyes are not as good as they were 20 years ago!

And the cakes.......
Ayo Zura! whylah torture me like this....
gotta go to the nearest cake shop
gotta buy myself a slice (or two) of cake(s)
gotta indulge in it all by myself
and definitely, gotta feel guilty after that!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
