Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL).

Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh!

But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happiest persons alive…..

Last Saturday, we wanted to go to Sunway Lagoon for some fun under the sun, unfortunately the water park was closed temporarily for renovation (during school holidays !?)….. so we went to Petrosains in KLCC instead. It was our second time there and Nasreen seems to enjoy the place so much… and I get to refresh my over-used brain, over-flowed memory space on some facts of life.. (of course, with the help of my husband who was never tired explaining some theories, not only to Nasreen and also to yours truly….. hehehe, and yet I got upset when Nasreen didn’t score 100% in her Science subject. Can?).

Weekdays were spent shopping and window shopping and mall hopping with my husband…. hehehe (that’s very US). It’s mega-SALES month again and my eyes popped out every time they landed on the word ‘SALE’. By the way, La Senza is having its greatest sales ever (discounts up to 60%)…. although I promised myself not to dip my fingers in my purse again (since that MPh-Times-Borders bookstore sale-fiasco last month), the temptation this time was too strong to resist… I finally succumbed to my desire and took home pairs of nighties just to satisfy my shopaholic hunger….

And when I came back from KLIA yesterday, I feel emptiness creeping inside me, and again, the urge to just ‘touch my purse’ was flowing in and I knew going to malls would mean ‘pocket-disaster’ (is it normal to feel like this…. like when you are so bored, you know shopping will definitely kill the boredom in no time… or is it just ME????)…

Anyway, I drove and drove and ended up in Baguz Bakery Supplies. Spent a solid 1 hour there and I left the shop with 4 plastic bags in my hands and a big grin on my face…. So, last night I baked cupcakes for my children with the stuff that I bought in Baguz and I felt satisfaction embracing me… and realized that I was more composed thereafter…


There.... the cupcakes & my baking supplies....
