Wedding Gifts

I have begun to receive all the colorful, perfumed cards for weddings in August. Excited; I began to calculate what gifts for who, the cost of journey (some of the weddings held outside of Klang Valley) places to stay, where to hang-out after the ceremony and knocking my HR door to apply more leaves.


Suddenly, I’m not excited anymore.


Can we Malaysian do a system where you can cater foods for wedding as well as for tolls and fuel or maybe accommodation? Wedding can be expensive not only for the bride and groom but also for people who have been invited like me. Or maybe someone can start having their ceremony in cyberspace; like ebuddy conference things and be fed by digitalized foods like in facebook?

Haha. I know it’s silly. As far as I obey with the current changes of our diversifying ethics and cultures; for sure we do not want to lose human contacts when it comes to celebrations like this.


So, what makes very good gifts for wedding? Malay usually say it’s the money (well, on the other hand, all races say money would be better especially its concern a LOT of them). The BEST gift (and unique too) besides all those precious electronic kitchen appliances and frames and books of action ( hansap lu yani!) is clothing cloths from Kelantan.

We’ve receive a pair for us to made for our first Raya together.

There is a few list of things that I think we always/should/ proper enough as a wedding gifts;

Wedding photo albums
– this may not really a good idea unless the bride and groom doesn’t hire a
professional photographer that doest not include albums in his package. But hey,
it is like a MUST to have a photographer kan nowdays.

Glasses/dinner set/tea set/ecetra
- Although many people say this kind of gifts only end up in the cabinet/under the bed/in
the closet/stores but hey, it does save you up for not having to buy the basics once you
moved into your own home.

Bed sheets
- It’s the next best gifts to carry as it is big and people already know what’s in the
wrapper. But, fitted sheets may not fit into all sizes as people assuming queen size
but its actually the king or super queen size for the bed of the new lovebirds.

Electronic/Kitchen appliances
- This is also fun to carry and it does make changes to the newly wed.

Big Frames with Holy words
- Okay. it never wrong to give out holy words.

Books or Night gown
- a sexy books and satin g-string only proper for hen’s nite. But if you throw in the ‘minyak
lintah kuat XXX’ may be you can call it a proper wedding gifts.Hehe

So, tell me.. do you have anymore ideas?

Debate of professional attack?

I am actually going to give some deeper review of personal thoughts of the Debate; but I will let the politician blogs rant about it for now. From my own perspective; the debate had given us deeper info of what really happen and how things are seen by both very different parties.


We the Rakyat will still contemplate and waiting for a solution for all this.


I wonder how the Minister of Information comes up with his puzzled answers. (I am refraining myself to address the minister as something not nice, as in a debate that’s what he can do best anyway)


Well, hope they will review fuel matters for better future planning. And please for the love of Allah and our country, keep matters professional.


Who wants to listen from a severe-hormone-problematic librarian?


Okay for now.


Have to concentrate on my daily goals here.

Bye.

Sesape yg nak buat.



Ok. I’ve seen a lonely pakcik outside; I think I’m going to invite him into the library. There’s a orientation for Nursing course today. I’ve heard this intake measure up to 300 students. That’s sound good, right?


See you. Remember. Trailer. No-no.

Counting days..

I have been crossing the date of each day on my calendar for the past few months; somehow I got a sense of relief seeing there is a few days left to be cross of the month. I also read a lot of fiction stuffs, probably sick by the facts of our nation’s political turmoil and also stories of conspiracies, gossips (I do think Danish and partner shouls consider as there will be a little ones coming in their way, hold up the responsibilities la weyyy..), People claimed they are receiving death threats.

Can for one beautiful day we all can seat together under a shiny weather, holding up a cotton candy and laugh to each other jokes and enjoys the music of chirpy birds?

Yeah, neither can I.

There will be a carnival sale next month. I probably won’t even clinch as there are only enough papers in my purse for everyday living. Why, do I have to be the one who have to let this all pass by in front of me and do nothing? Why, do I have to feel nothing else but envy when everyone else getting what they wanted?


Tsskk..

I felt this self-conflicted syndrome to my late PMS symptom. I am constantly angry with myself everyday more and more each day.


Well, there will be wedding everywhere starting from next month onwards. I’ll have to save up to buy gifts or ‘salam cangkuk’ to the lucky jitters.

……


Anyway, my heads can be held up high now as there some incidents that make my hard work ‘ball till ya fall’ being recognized. Alhamdulillah.


Have a nice weekends and drive carefully. Avoid big hedious trailers.

Shoes...Shoes..Shoes

Sometimes whenever I'm free (pardon that I've often had a free time for myself nowdays), I will get into my own world of envy-ing over shoes; latest in the market.And when I'm mentioned shoes, it is the finest shoes. Its either it is too fine until the prices are to the roof or those are not for sale in Malaysia.Currently, I'm looking for a blue pumps or stilettos. Hah, have you ever seen me with a stilettos before? Hehe.Those in the pictures are the ones I want; or at least similar. I've noticed myself transfering into I-dont-give-damn to let-me-have-that-little-flowery-affect kind of person now. Really, I mean do titles gave in to that effect or finnally I've came into my senses that 'm for once a woman?

Heh.

I've heard and seen a lot of bloggers and friends buying online for materials and merchandises. BUT (it is a Biggest but of all) not only that I dont know how; I also dont have any monetary supplies for it.Urgh... I know that now that the government (which is my husband) asking me to save up to go through this difficult times; but it is difficult for me for not thinking of those glittering peep holes shoes that are screaming; no begging me to be thier master.

Could someone (millionaire maybe) buy me those shoes as a present?I need to unleash my inner confidence to go through my days.

Inflation in our way?

There's two things lingering in front of my eyes right now.


One, the mirage of having super duper cold (winter the best) vacation with my husband; probably north cost of Aussie or sexy vacation in Koh Samui during the Full Moon.


Two, maybe closer too reality is imagining some known people (from the office?naaah.. maybe some celeb or politician) to get stuck under 6 tan lorry rather than the poor Myanmar fella.


The reality is that now is not the time for me esspecially to take a break; the one I've been longing for. So much to do and the uncertainty of the big moving project also caused stress and downsizing the staff of this department contribute to my ever-growing madness. Still, as long as we're working under the people that giving us the end-needs, no complains avail.

I am not sure to be angry or frustrated, confused or tired. Whining doesnt help either.


I'm holding my breath tight and head up high to go through this difficult moments.

Speaking of that, I read somewhere that the nations will be under inflation anytime soon. I really hope it will stay as rumours. Seeing the current hike of almost everything since the petrol price goes up; searching a new way to gain extra income should be the only chance to make more money.

There are saying sme companies (Martell, Penang and Nestle, PJ) starting to downsizing staff. I am quite sure that this year the companies (especially the smaller ones) will not increasing thier budget or worst; puffed up in the air.

Hold on tight.


We're about to experience one hell of a ride. I really hope I was wrong.
