Malaysian Wife, Australian Life

Our Christmas joy, Ayisha's: Dora overload Mummy's: Edward overload Not as much as Ha's but I also did get a movie voucher from my Kris Kringle to watch Breaking Dawn, finally! Woohoooo! So that alone is worth more than 1000 Dora, sorry Squeak! :p Lucky for me it was still playing in Sydney while we're there. I tried to watch it in Bali with my girlfriends but the whole cinema scene here is not so happening lah . They couldn't even tell what's going to be screening until the day itself and no bookings are allowed. I was making peace with the idea of watching it on DVD later on but I guess I was destined to watch Mr & Mrs Cullen's wedding on the big screen - "Thanks for waiting, Edward" ( echeh..kikiki, over gil e!) I went with my sister, Wa, who also got her ticket from her Kris Kringle. There's only 6 of us in the cinema, plenty of room for us two to drool & hyperventilate throughout the movie. I enjoyed every single bi...

Sorry Katie, this is not about your royal wedding to Prince Charming. It is the wedding of the other Prince Charming, the one that I've been anticipating for at least for the past 3 years, the one that I'd surely be hyperventilating over.....drools drools drools...... Pic from here Are you invited? I SO VERY AM!!!!

The day i had my scan - 16th December, also happens to be my Aussie wedding anniversary. It's Michael's turn this time so what did he plan for us? Watch TWILIGHT of course, Gold Class style! kikikikiki.... My opinion? Tak puassssnyaaaaa! I felt like so much's missing. I wanted a whole lot more. I can't wait for the next movie to come out. Hurry up already. I felt like the relationship between Bella & Edward was so rushed. Everything happened too quickly. And i also didnt get enough of the Cullens. So sikit their scenes. I miss them, man! Michael's opinion? He likes it..not as much as me of course but when i told him that i didnt get enough Bella & Edward story like in the book, he thought what was showed in the movie was the right amount. Any longer and he'd get a bit bored, like where's this movie going? So he thought it was just right when the baseball scene came out and all the other actions happening after that. I think most times he's ...

I can't believe this. I think by the time this movie crawls super slowly down its way to Down Under, almost everyone i know would've seen this movie. From what i read in the reviews, a lot of fans don't really enjoy the movie as much as the book but they go nuts over Edward Cullen anyways. From what i heard from friends & fam, those who haven't read the book LOOOOOVE the movie and those who have, don't enjoy the movie as much..but they still go nuts over Edward anyway. As my sister Limah puts it, 'hilang nafas jap' when Edward Cullen first appeared. :p Memang melampau! But i think i'll be hyperventilating too.. Im not mad at those lucky peeps who've seen the movie, no no no. Just very very jealous, yes yes yes. Why can't the movie be here already? Last weekend, between watching my Friends DVDs for the umphteenth time and checking out movies on TV Shack on the net, I ALMOST 'cheated' on Edward by clicking at the Twilight movie, w...

I have stories to tell but a bit malas to write. Some stories a lil bit basi, like how my sister Limah finally left and leaving me all sad & moping. That's 2 weeks ago! New stories osso got, but i might hafta keep some for my next post cos i think this one's gonna be pretty lengthy. Limah ku Sayang The rest of the 2 weeks she was here we continued doing her favorite thing - makan, makan and more makan. One weekend we went down the caravan where she played with all the kangaroos. Play as in, campak roti from 2 metres and run like crazy when the Roos started hopping. That's ok, that's how i play too..hehehe. It took a lot of encouraging & sweet talking (to Limah & the kangaroo) from Michael to get her to do this. By the way, check out the lil Joey! soo cute! Another weekend we went to Nelson Bay. Limah loves the beaches. So most times she'd be hanging out with Michael swimming, snorkelling & having long walks on the beach. They bonded pretty we...

We went to Adam & Amber's for Jaydan's 10th birthday last Friday nite. When we arrived, Vicki was right at the door waiting for me anxiously, spreading a double page of WHO magazine featuring a pic of Edward & Bella with an article on Stephenie Meyer, the author. Vicki: Have you seen this? Me: NOOOOOOO! (grabbing the mag) but ive seen the movie trailer & interviews and everything and.. Vicki: NOOOOO ur worse! i wouldnt wanna know anything till the movie's out...hang on, are you.. Me: A Twilighter? YES I AM!!! Vicki: i thot so! After the party, hugging our goodbyes.. Me: I can't stop reading but i dunno if i wanna finish em too soon! i dont want it to end.. Vicki: I know!!! im sad now. I miss the CULLENS!!! i really really miss them!! (almost like throwing tanties) Darren (Vicki's hubby): What? What's wrong Vick? What's going on? Who's this? (panic & very concerned voice) Vicki: No one...it's the book again! Tom,...

Two words... EDWARD CULLEN. I've just finished reading this in only 2 days!! Im now reading the sequel, and i don't think i can stop till im done reading the 3rd book in this series and the final, And then i'll continue to drive Michael mad by obsessing about the Twilight movie scheduled to be out in November. Woohoo!! Is anyone out there as obsessed about Edward Cullen as I am? PLEASE stand up! I first heard about Edward (cheh, like talking bout ex bf jek) in the evening MX newspapers that we train commuters get for free coming back from work. Besides the SUDOKU game, there's a section called 'Vent Your Spleen' in it that i'd pay attention to. It's where people can send smses to say whatever they wanted to say about anyone and anything - complaining about bad manners of people on the train, complimenting someone for their kind gestures or even talking about the weather. So a few weeks ago, for a good 4-5 days, the name Edward...

It's not often that we cross the bridge to get out of the Shire. This is because Michael claims that there's no need to leave cos you can get EVERYTHING you need in his beloved birth place. Of course, I am here to lovingly prove him wrong. There's 2 things that i've been wanting to do lately that's NOT in the Shire - 1) go to IKEA and 2) get kicap manis cap kipas udang. I wanted to go to IKEA because (do we really need a reason to go to IKEA? hehe) well, just to get an idea of what we need for our new house. Id also like to compare prices with stuff in the Shire cos some of IKEA's items can be pretty cheap. We weren't gonna buy anything till we move in but we do need to get stuff for our bathroom reno that we plan to do before moving in. IKEA here is EXACTLY the same as in KL, inside and out. The only upset is that the $1 hotdog here contains beef & pork! boooooooooo! So we did our full IKEA loop and only bought a mirror cabinet for our bathroom whic...

Ive just finished reading this book by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's SO good i didnt want it to end. I've heard about this book sometime last year but not until i saw the author on Oprah last month that actually made me look for the book and by then, of course, like all other books featured in Oprah, it was sold out everywhere in Sydney. Luckily my MIL got the book for her birthday last year and lent it to me because she couldn't get me a copy (it was on my birthday wish list :p) Im not gonna spoil it for those who haven't read it yet but in short, it's about the author's search for happiness after a devastating divorce and found pleasure in Italy, peace in India and the balance of both in Bali. I extremely enjoy the Italy part of her story - what with all the Italian men, romance, gelato and especially about the best pizza in the world. To my friend Nog, who's going to Naples soon (i so envy u right now!) this is for you - what Elizabeth Gilbert said in her w...

I heard bout The Secret few weeks ago from K.Yuz and the title itself was very intriguing. So far, ive been enjoying all the books that she'd recommend from time to time - Da Vinci Code, Tuesdays with Morrie.. so when she mentioned bout this new book she read that she absolutely love and helped her tremendously, i went looking and got one for myself. I didnt know it was a motivational/self-help book and was thrilled to find out that it is. I love these kinds of readings. I even read the skeptic and anti self-help book reviews and in the end, i'd rather feel good about myself instead of being negative. As i am already a very very lazy person, i need all the positivity i could get! In all the motivational books that i read, it's almost all the same - dream, work hard = success. In everything that u do, uve got to work hard for it, i do believe that but i also know how very lazy i am and im also without a dream. Up till now, i still dunno what i wanna do! Few yrs ago i rea...
