Spare change anyone?

We are actually thinking of buying another house for the sake of investment, or may be to live there if it looks nicer than our place currently. It's sooo much fun going house shopping...getting new ideas or just imagining living in such a place. We went to look at Desa Parkcity...i tell you, you would not believe you were in Kepong if you go to this place! Their concept is very much like the west...courtyard homes with pools for each community. We saw their terrace homes, and their Semi-Ds which is fucking RM2mill, but cun I tell you!! So, we are hoping in-laws would consider this place (we went shopping coz MIL feels that she wants a smaller place since all kids are grown-up, etc.), so that we can live vicariously! This is something DH and me do very,very well!

Of course my loan cannot cover houses here, terrace at RM600k! Mampus...so we need to content ourselves with our current neighborhood, or within the vicinity. But for the time being, let me plan for our renovation since DH is quite keen we do this...tee hee.

I am Moved

...in my living room watching/i am not laughing/cause when it gets tense i know what might happen
the world is cold/the bold men make action
have to react or get blown into fractions
ten years old/it's something to see/another kid my age under a jeep
taken and bound/and found later under a tree
i wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
do you see/the soldiers/they're out today they brush the dust from bulletproof vests away it's ironic/at times like this you pray
but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday...

OCD

I so definitely am on my way of having OCD! I was a woman on a mission today. After having my head in the clouds with Jane Austen the past week, not only repeatedly watching P2 and reading P2 at the same time, I've now decided to build a collection of my favorite Jane Austen's movies, or movies of her novels. I am in the process of downloading P2 with Keira Knightly, as well as Emma. And it will take me a good couple of weeks to have everything downloaded! I've also gone and placed an order for Sense&Sensibility (S2), the one with Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant!

So, the whole day I spent, in between servicing my car, going to Borders, Times, to search for S2 but there are no copies in the market. I was guided to Victoria Music Station in BSC coz Borders people (in BTS ok!) said Victoria can order for me. But no such luck! But while browsing there I was reminded how cool Victoria is. I used to frequent them during secondary school. They have such range of music! So, got me Pharos and Linkin Park, whose music is complete the opposite of each other. From Victoria I was guided to Fox Video wic, thank God, it was still in BSC! So, finally, luck was on my side! They actually help order DVDs for customers! So, I ordered S2, along with North&South, not the one with Patric Swayze, but a BBC mini-series based on Elizabeth Gaskell's , who was contemporaries with Charlotte Bronte, novel, and of course Jane Eyre, which stars Toby Stephens (the baddie in the Die Another Day).

So, I've now become completely obsessive with the classics! This is what happens when I get so absorbed into something. So, most definitely all these would cost me all the way up to the few hundreds! But I am so the very happy if I can get all these orders in! Fingers crossed!!

If you know where I can download this song please tell me...I soooo love it! Nidji's cool too!

Hapus Aku

Tuliskan kesedihan
Semua tak bisa kau ungkapkan
Dan kita kan bicara dengar hatiku

Buang semua puisi
Antara kita berdua
Kau bunuh dia sesuatu
Yang kusebut itu cinta

Yakinkan aku Tuhan
Dia bukan milikku
Biarkan waktu, waktu, hapus aku
Sadarkan aku Tuhan dia bukan milikku
Biarkan waktu, waktu, hapus aku

Tuliskan kesedihan
Semua tak bisa kau hentikan
Dan kita kan bicara dengar jiwaku

Buang semua puisi
Antara kita berdua
Kau bunuh dia sesuatu
Yang kusebut itu cinta

My First Time

On Mother's day last month, I got my first ever Mother's day card. It was not a surprise to say the least. Izz actually told me he had a "surprise" for me, which was he was making a Mother's day car...duhh! I even actually had to prod him to school on Friday so that he can finish his card and bring it home.

Izz whining: I dont't waaannnnaa go to schoooollll...
Me: Don't you want to go and finish your surprise for me?
Izz whining: I dont't waaannnnaa go to schoooollll...
Me: But if you don't go to school, you can't finish your card.
Izz: Hisssshh!
Me: YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL!
Izz: Hissshhhh! Stomping away...

So, anyway I did get my card in the end. He gave it to me after I came back from work with a happy grin on his face coz he was giving me a "surprise" gift. See, people are right when they say Mothers know best!

On my way to becoming an "Isteri Mithali"

Remember my earlier post on diamonds? So you probably would have guessed that I am a real floozy (given my mis-adventures lately) chick who is shallow, and obsessed with diamonds...well, that still kinda sums me up.

Anyway, since Habs was having their mid-year sale (50% off storewide), yours truly was busy gallivanting to 3 different outlets in search of that elusive oval cut diamond ring (it was really that elusive!). Finally, tracked one down in BV, wic was the place where I first saw it...duhh!! So, we braved through the downpour on Sunday evening (2 kids+1 maid in tow), so that I can just "check" out the ring with no "outwardly" intention of buying.

DH actually liked the ring, but we agreed that even after the discount it was beyond our budget. So, he agreed that we can buy a round-cut diamond ring wic was more within our budget. I then reserved the ring with the intention to go back yesterday evening to pick it up. I was a very happy person, indeed!

Come yesterday, wic was a hard day at work and pretty much the thot of getting the ring kept me going, I went to BV again. But instead of picking up the ring I wanted, I got DH the Butang Baju Melayu that he saw and liked on Sunday. He definitely would never spend that much money on himself, and plus he needed to get his wife that ring kan?! So, I decided to surprise him with the BBM!


Awwww....isn't that sweet of me? I must say that this side of me very rarely comes out. But you know, I may not write much about DH, but he is really an awfully sweet guy (when he is not trying to "spin" stuff on you - he is one master "spinner"!), and I do love him to bits...again I don't say or show it often enough. So, he was extremely surprised when he saw the long jewelry box, instead of a small ring box (probably thinking what the f*%# she's gone and bought now?!), but the look on his face was priceless! He did say the usual crap la about I shouldn't have to spend that much, etc., but I knew he was thrilled!

So, all in all, I may not have gotten me the ring, but I sure did earn lotsa points, not only am I on the way of getting the ring again later on...and may be even the oval-cut one, but got me some cash for savings, points on being a good wifey, and made my DH a happy man and glad that he married me! Muahahaha!

I Want

Thanks to Sagi Chick, I am gonna have these for the boys b'days. These would be good for welcoming new mommy too - Rajes, I know what to get for you! Forget your pantang!

Mr. Darcy, Again!

A favorite memory of mine (thanks for reminding me Zackie)! If you want to talk about crushes, or a man that can make my stomach turn topsy turvy, and have a silly grin on my face, it would have to be Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Those who are familiar with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (P2) would definitely agree with me!

So, anyways I was first introduced to Darcy during one of my summer vacation back to KL, in the mid-90s. I remember Ntv7 just came on air, and they were showing this obscure BBC mini-series (big hit in the UK mind you!). I missed the first episode, but after accidentally catching the subsequent episodes, I was utterly, desperately in love with Mr. Darcy. It didn't help that Colin Firth was just brilliant as Darcy - the pining looks that he gave Lizzie...just made me wanna tear at him!

Back to that happy memory, it was the last summer after graduation, and me and my girls, sans ms.ketchup (who was shacked up with guy she's been wanting to dump for the longest time...HAHAHAHA!), subleted this gorgeous house in central campus - I think it was blue.

We had very interesting times with a couple of bottles of vodka left by the earlier tenants (surprise, surprise???) and Kamel (not the Camel you see here or the animal, but it was a sweet tasting/cinnamony type of ciggy), and of course Mr. Darcy. We rented the set from the local A2 library, and we all just swooned over Darcy, but also the love story between Darcy and Lizzie. I so respect Jane Austen, if you saw the series and read the book, you can get the sexual tension and desperation without any sexual content! You just completely rely on your imagination...how cool is that??

I digress, but what I am trying to get at is that I loved that summer for many reasons, and one them was that blue house with the girls. I can still remember it clearly, my room wic was near the kitchen, the huge basement room vi and bagel had, and of coz zackie and amai in the cozy room. L was also with us - we gave her the biggest room! Also, the swing in the back where we spent lazy, warm afternoons talking about our lives and never realizing this is where we were heading to.

I miss those times so much. Don't get me wrong, I love my life now, ok la not 100% of the time, but I am cool with where I am at. But I just miss how my life was so simple back them, with little expectations, but still hopeful. I really don't think any of us are any different from those girls in their early 20s, because I think when we all get together we realize we don't feel any different. But we have now just evolved into women in their early 30s contemplating their next stage in life, and with lotsa baggage. Some of us are married with kids, or just married and thinking may be kids, and some are going through/went through rough patches and just now trying to re-figure out our lives, and what's next for us.

So, last night as I was watching P2 again, those memories and feelings came rushing back. Me the clueless (somethings never change, kan?) girl, with that silly grin on her face, dreaming of Darcy. I love my happy thoughts, sigh...
