Sink is a Sink

I'm not really sure why it's call farmhouse sinks but I'm totally loving the look and the feel of this one. Can you imagine how this sink would totally transform the look of any common bathroom?

It would make the bathroom so classy and feel hotel like that even I would think I'm a guest in there.


Have a great week everyone...

Hot Day Indeed

I really love my showers on days like this. I don't even mind that we don't have water heaters coz the water gets warmed up by itself on the way down (or is it up?) to my unit. Besides, cold showers on days like this feels heavenly especially with the new Danze faucets that the landlord installed currently. I guess he had a gut feel that we were unhappy about the talk of raised rental that he was trying to pacify us somewhat with these new features.

Oh well, our mind's made up.. The house hunt is still on! Sorry landlord :(

Car Rental Perhaps?

We were supposed to renew our car insurance and road tax last week but never really got around to it. The reason why we've been procrastinating and finding excuse not to go renew it because we don't really use that car much at all. We have this thinking at the back of our minds that we are able to put it off another month and worse come to worse we can always rent a car!

How I wish we had services like those found on CarHireDirect because with them we can always make a comparison as to which company would best give us best value for money deals on car hire. Just give them the pickup location, pickup and drop off date, car category and hit proceed. The next page would give you all the car rental listing that is available for the location you desire so that now you can make and informed decision.

Awesome right? Oh well I guess it will be the yellow pages for us!

I'm in Mourning

I just found out from Shemah that Cashmere Mafia did not get picked up for another season from ABC. Boo Hoo!! According to the article here,
The premiere attracted a decent 10.7 million viewers but the second episode drew under 6.2 million. The ratings continued to drop and the finale attracted just 4.8 million.


Goodbye ladies!


Excuse me, while I mourn...

Gonna be a busy week

It's gonna be a busy next week for both me and Azwaj. We have to renew his car insurance and road tax. We also need to renew his company operating license as failure to renew it before the expiration date would result in a penalty which will possibly pay for another year of license!

I also need to prepare some shortcut notes for my FIL who is finally picking up MS Word and Excel. Lastly I desperately need a hair cut. I've been tying my poor hair in a tight ponytail coz of the weather, even my scalp is complaining!

Yeap.. a busy week indeed!

I Need New Sofa

We are in dire need for a new sofa. However, it just can't be any regular sofa. It has to be durable enough to withstand the behavior of the house occupants, namely the six kitties ;)

Azwaj is more inclined to get patio furniture for the living room. I mean if it's hardy enough to withstand the weather, it must be hardy enough to take the onslaught from the kitties right. Oh well only time will tell as to what kind of furniture we will eventually get what with the impending move and all.

Cheerio...

You know at the rate Azwaj is losing weight, I got to encourage him to eat more which literally means I got to eat more too.. coz this man won't eat if I don't eat! So I guess I got to get me the best diet pills available out there so that even when I eat, I will still not gain weight.. shh .. don't tell Azwaj though coz he'll think I'm cheating..lolzz!

My Hubby Lost Weight!

Why do men lose weight so more easily than women? Or is it just my hubby that is so? He went down from 65kilos to 57kilos in three month without needing any diet pills whatsoever while I did not lose any weight at all. I don't understand it at all coz we eat the same meals at the same time and we even sleep the same amount of time. The only difference is that he smokes while I don't. Hmm... is that the cause??

Games Galore

I did not play much games when I was growing up. Technology wasn't great then. I did not even own a personal computer much less the xbox 360. Come to think of it, I did not even own a barbie doll!

Nowadays kids have it good. I know that my nephew and niece have most of the gadgets for any games at their disposals. As long as they do their homework, get good scores at school, their mother would get them any games they wanted. Ah.. such is the life.. I want to be a kid again!

Condo Living

What is it with people living in apartments? Do they forget that there are neighbours left, right, up and down? Why must they talk at the top of their voices to someone who is probably sitting in front of them? It does not sound like they were fighting or having an argument. It sounds more like normal conversation about them wanting to buy a house nearby, wanting to buy a car and wanting to buy a bus. What? Buy a bus?? Ok.. I rest my case.. see how loud they were??!!

More RAM For Miss Fly

I think I need more memory ram (Random Access Memory) for Miss Fly. She's currently running on 3GB right now and still I feel her performance could be improved. I know she can take up to 4GB so that is probably what I do. Upgrade her to the maximum and see how better she can performed. Azwaj said it's probably all the plugins I've installed with Firefox that is slowly her down. Though I don't dispute that, I still need those plugin to make my blogging experience fun and that is important to me. So looks like you're gonna get an upgrade dear Miss Fly sembah

I have never been the bikini kinda of girl. My swimming costume have always been one piece modest design and the moment the towel comes off, I'm in the water in a flash. No showing off the figure for this lady.

So I reckon if ever I go on one of those holiday cruise deals, I will be the one under the shades with the most "clothes" on the deck gelakguling!

However, I was reading this article and I thought I share with you some tips on what to look out for in a swimsuit that would make you look hot hot hot this summer!

One piece

  • Make sure the leg opening is at the widest part of the hips. it makes your legs look longer
  • To play up curves, choose a solid colour with feminine details like runching or ruffles
Two piece
  • There should be enough coverage on the the bottom to prevent rear and side exposure
  • A low-rise waist nad high-cut leg is more flattering for the bottom
String bikini
  • Choose one with a top and bottom that you can tie yourself - this allows you to customise the fit and support
  • Add curves to narrow hips with a low-rise bottom
Enjoy your summer!!!

Secure Yourself

Some crime happens in a blink of an eye. There was this time, when our home internet was down and I really needed to go and be online. So Azwaj brought me to this cyber cafe closeby to our home. We went on motorbike as that was the fastest way. We parked underneath the street lamp and it was like only 7.30pm. I went in first coz Azwaj wanted a quick smoke. He told me to call him when I was done. I finished in 15minutes or so and called Azwaj in. He just checked his email and was done in 10minutes. So we paid and exit from the cafe.

As we were leaving, we saw this guy on our motorbike. He was pushing the bike forward and backward. When he saw us, and when Azwaj shouted at him, he panicked, got off the bike and ran off. Azwaj always makes it a habit to padlock the wheels so that was probably the reason why the bike which had it's engine running was not able to move forward. Thank God for Azwaj's habit otherwise that would be the last time we saw the bike.

We relayed the story to a friend the next few days and you know what, he lost his car to theft as well. He did not have any gps fleet tracking installed so there goes this Satria. What a heart ache. Till now he is paying for a car that he does not have
sedih

So secure yourself..

Just What I Needed!

It's been so hot nowadays that I've been showering like five times a day. I really feel like going swimming downstairs but the pool doesn't look at all swimable. If only the landlord had installed a bath tub in the bathroom, that would have been heavenly to soak in. But of course, only walk in tubs can be considered for a bathroom of the size we have.

Oh well, a lady can dream. I guess I just need another shower now.. it's soo hot!!

More Space Please

This afternoon, we will probably go over to Low Yatt to go look for my external hard drive. Miss Fly, my 5 month old laptop is not at her optimized level as she does not have enough hard disk space to work her magic. Hubby told me that I can't do any more downloads until then.

Anyway, hubby would also take this opportunity to go source out a HDMI switch for his client. So see you later!!

New Activities?

Just over the weekend, we were at my MIL house and my nephew had his playstation 3 switched on. He was playing this car game that was crashing each and everything around. Lol.. it was hilarious.. My MIL was also seen holding the control and her grandson was telling her "Just hit him TokMak!. He's the bad guy!" and TokMak went "Cannot Azri.. we don't hit people no matter how bad they are!" with a long concern look on her face....lolzzz...Talk about non-violent education...gelakguling

I've been blogging so much lately that I've not had a chance to do a lot of other things that I've enjoyed. Things like playing my strategy games, Caeser 3, Cleopatra and Restaurant Empire. And of course, that old time favorite, Sims - building houses have never been more fun!

Perhaps it's time to rejuvenate the games juices and wake up that game spirit again.

Come on who believe that? My mom, that's who!

Cancer can strike anyone at any age. I've tried explaining that to my mom so that she would take her mammogram test but it seemed someone told her that if you're over 60years of age, you don't and can't get breast cancer! Now my mom is refusing to go!

I was like.. Arghhhh!!!... I could strangle this person. She's always forming her opinion about stuff and imparting it to my mom as though she's an expert! I've convinced my mom to call a cousin of mine who's also a nurse. Hopefully she can explain the situation to my mom and that would make her change her mind. Otherwise... I'm gonna back to SG this time with a hammer to knock on the head of her so call expert and some rope to tie my mom up and drag her to the clinic for her test!

Breathing deeply..

When was yours?

If memory serves me right, I had my hepatitis A,B and C jabs back in 1998 which is like 10 years ago. I'm not sure if I have to get a booster jab or anything. I hate needles so the less I see and have the need to have one poked into me, the better.

Anyone knows if I need to get one soon?

Being Offline

Someone told me that to be more productive, you need to be offline. I refused to believe it until I was forced to be offline due to my internet connection problems. Ladies, never would I believe those words if I had not gone through it myself.

Firstly, I cleaned out my harddisk space. Can you believe, Miss Fly only had like 9GB of space left? I have over 120GB hard disk space to start off with. I backed up my data, burned all the files that I had downloaded, and even rearranged my image galleries.

I went through my magazines and throw out what I no longer read. I did so much labellings that I ran out of thermal labels for my label maker. Boy, I feel so organised now.

So a tip from the wise, go offline, once in a while and get your life in order, the internet would still be there when you get back on that super highway...

Cheerio...
