Life in technicolor

So,I had THIS experience all over again but this time it was with a different doctor and it was the wisdom tooth on my right side of the mouth.It was very painful after the anesthetic wore off but less painful than my previous experience because I learned my lesson--meaning when my mouth was numb after the surgery didn't mean that I can talk and talk and chew food because in an hour it will wear off!

Didn't talk much and communicate with the boyfriend soon after the surgery via pen and paper.It was hilarious because I couldn't talk at all.It was super sweet of him to be there for me and made sure I was alright,and ate a bit of porridge(could only manage 2 spoonful) and drank choc milk(cos' we went to the store & there was no the ready to drink Vico).

One of the sweetest thing was he remembered how I like my blanket to be folded under my feet & did that for me without me asking--the little things does says a lot about a person--, because after I took my meds I doze off to lalaland.

He bought me cheezy wedges after I woke up (hey it's soft so I was able to eat them & plus I texted him requesting for it because when I wake up I was super hungry) and we watched a few episodes of Breaking Bad(man that show is INTENSE!).The doc gave me mc for tomorrow as well.Gonna watch new episodes of Top Chef Just Desserts season 2!

This experience just further showed me that no matter how busy(which he was from early morning until evening)he was, he made time to make sure I was okay and be there for me.He always never ever fail to make me feel love and cared for but today:love and care at its finest..:)

Firstly how do I managed to watch these series?It is thanks to the boyfriend's super fast unifi..so far I've watched both seasons of Masterchef US as well which I will blog about soon.Also more past seasons of Top Chef(since I started watching the series from the latest one which is season 8).

Pretty Little Liars(season 2)

One of the main reasons why I actually watch this show is the fact that I love the 4 girls perfectly coiffed wavy hairdo,make up and clothes.They always look so pretty but not in a too perfect kind of way so other girls out there can actually relate to each of their style.

Look closely and you can see that the stylist on the show incorporate new fashion trends into the style of each character.Like Aria wore feathers and even had a strand of her hair turned into a feather that it blended with her hair seamlessly.

I love this particular hair feather look because the feather blended
well with her hair and the color matches as well.:)

Another beauty trend that was featured on the show that even InStyle mag covered in their Sept or was it August issue was the look of mint green nail polish.

Love the pastel nail polish

see how pretty?

Okay now that I've talked a bit about the style on PLL that I love..let's talk about the story plot this time around for season 2.

Personally I think A is getting so much creepier.A is practically ruining the girls lives in so many devious ways.Like putting steroid into Emily's pain cream and jeopardizing her scholarship.And the whole 'scavenger hunt'by asking the girls to do things in order to save Dr.Sullivan and if you watch the last episode of the 1st half of the second season,you'll know how it ended.

I knew that Jenna & Garret being very shady must mean something.Interesting that Aria had to choose between Jason & Ezra but then we know who is less creepy(hurmmm PLL has a lot of creepy characters doesn't it?).I just hope,judging from the last episode that Ezra manage to come clean with Aria's mum regarding their relationship.

And Ezra's ex,Jackie is such a bitch!urgh...that bitch has got to go.On Spencer front,although Toby is nice and everything,I prefer her with Wren cos' it will heat up things a bit.Plus the fact that he's British and very dishy helps as well..:P

Who the hell is A?If you read the book you'll know who it is,as do I but now as the season goes by,I keep thinking that A could be someone else.Confusing!!But that's part of the charm I guess because it keeps us intrigued.

Drop Dead Diva(season 3)

I love Drop Dead Diva this season because they had A LOT of interesting cases.From a mail order bride scam to a douche football player who rapes girl and then tweets about the number of his conquest.To Stacy being sued over her video blog.

Or one of the best episode was when the girl that Deb hates when she was in a sorority who's that super funny character that I love in the classic old tv show Popular sued a casino for making her intoxicated and spend her money gambling--you'd be amazed on the findings!

I'm glad that Jane might have found a love interest in Owen though I do wish she could tell Grayson that she's Deb because lets face it,they have so much chemistry!And plus his wedding with Vanessa didn't go through and even his relationship with that bar chick didn't pan out!Sigh.

I'm so angry at Stacy for cheating on Fred,the guy who loves her so much and they finally got it together and then she blew him off for a C-lister actor.God!Cannot wait for 2 more episodes to come out!

The weekend is the time when I get to wake up at whatever time I want and go wherever I want to go and then go home at night a bit late & not worrying having to wake up early the next morning.haha.So last Saturday me & the boyf went to Ikea.Mucked around and imagine what our house will look like(awww) and like sorta pick out the furniture we wanted.:P

Mucking about..haha

I put this on his head & a few passerby
laugh when they saw him!haha

our dream living room..wonder wat is wrong wit dis pic??

And it was sort of the day of reckoning because get this,I never tasted Ikea meatballs before!Usually when I go there with my mum,we go to buy stuffs and not to eat.Plus,I make damn good meatballs(or so my family,the boyfriend & his family & my friends made me to believe) so I never had to go out and buy them.:P

Salmon gravlax(boyf choice),daim cake,meatballs & fried chicken wings

So when it was time for me to taste it,I was a bit nervous..I mean what if it tasted better than mine?haha.

The verdict:The best part about the Ikea meatballs was the combination of gravy + lingonberry jam/sauce.The meatballs was like sausages you buy at the frozen section--it was compact and tasted of meat and nothing more--thus I breathe a sigh of relief that although it was quite tasty,the boyfriend agreed that mine was 'melt in your mouth kind of meatballs'..hehe.

Damn tasty combo:gravy mix with lingonberry jam/sauce

Got my ketupat which the boyfriend made!:)

Pretty sun

On Sunday,the weather was beautiful so I wanted to go out and watch the sunset with boyfriend.So in the evening,we walked along the quite dirty stretch at Tanjung Harapan.I suggested the place because it was only 30 mins away from Shah Alam.

Me,watching the sunset

It was peaceful because we parked our car quite far and walked down the road.When the sun set,he suggested we eat sushi so we went to Subang Parade for Sushi King(as he wanted to avoid the crowd at Pyramid).

Bought this cool 7up cherry at cold storage--funny the fact that a soda has antioxidants!haha

Last night the boyf brought me to Coca Thai ( a place whereby his family celebrate special occasions like birthdays)because he was gone for a day on Monday to Kedah & Penang to ran some errands & I miss him terribly & wish I could follow him but I had to work so I couldn't..T_T.

waiting for the food to cook

The food there was good and I understood why he said it had the best steamboat--the sauce they used was super tasty!And apparently he said that they guard the recipe so tight that even if you takeaway the meal from there,they won't give you any sauce to bring home with!

finish!and look at the amount of prawns we ate!

We were sitting directly in front of the fish tanks and I was fascinated with the live crabs in the tank.They looked so cute and it reminded me of one of my favorite cheesy movie:Simply Irresistible.

Various macarons from Whisk--rm18 for 10 assorted flavors

Afterwards we walked to Empire because I wanted to buy macarons from Whisk since my super picky eater of a little brother,Raffiq,loves them(and he is so hard to please okay!).Was so happy when The Last Polka ice cream was sold there because I actually had a dream involving them a few days back which I told the boyf about.haha.

The last polka nutella ice cream--super good!

Pardon my messy book shelf!I got this pretty purple(my fave color)
lights from the boyf,a souvenir from Penang.

Look how pretty it lights up?

Today after work,he came to the office to pick me up & then we went to dinner at HOMST.I haven't had dinner there in quite sometime!We had super good buttered prawns(with my allergy medicine with me 24/7 now I can eat seafood whenever I want!),stir fried kailan with oyster sauce and sweet & sour fish fillet.It hit the spot since I didn't eat anything from breakfast.

We want food!(he being so hungry!haha)

Calling it a nite!2 more days before it's the weekend again..my how time flies!

Been super busy with raya preparations and actually living it that I didn't get to blog much.Finally I get to write a bit about what happened during the past 3 days.This will be a pretty long post so bear with me.Btw you'll notice that there wasn't much picture of raya food because why???

Ketupat palas(bought by mama),daging dendeng,serunding kelapa &kuah kacang(made by Razin's mum)

BECAUSE I ATE EM ALL BEFORE I COULD TAKE PHOTOS OF EM--I am a monster..:(( But by the 2nd day of raya I was craving lighter foods cos' on the first day I OD-ed on lemang,ketupat,rendang,you name it!:PP

Made oven roasted salmon with sauteed veg on 2nd day of Raya

-------------------------------------------------
A day before Raya eve:

Hugeee red velvet with strawberries

I made a huge red velvet cake for a friend who ordered it for raya in the morning.Send it to her in the afternoon,then went to meet up with the boyfriend.Helped his mum peeled lots of garlic for raya dishes and also his sibling and him helped his mum(look at the hilarious pic of him wearing goggles while peeling red onions!hahahaah).

*My crazy super adorable cute boyfriend wearing goggles!haha*

Crazy dude I met at Ikea!:P

Afterwards we went to Ikea.Shopped at Cold Storage first&the boyf bought the ingredients for me to make lotsa pizzas for his family for our last iftar this year(and for mine as well..duh!).

Love this couch!

Saw this blackforest Tim Tams(obviously wasn't market by the Malaysian company) and bought it.I didn't like it that much but boyfriend loves it.Fed him 4 while he was driving back home!haha

Blackforest tim tams?

Then we break our fast with a bottle of ribena strawberry(loves it!) at one of the aisle.Drop stuffs in the car.Went to Ikea,bought stuffs for mama,boyf bought stuffs for his room &his mum.Drop stuffs in the car again(so much walking I tell you!).And by then I was being a bit cranky from hunger that the boyf was like hugging me and was like alalala kesian dia lapar ye?hahahaa.Around 9pm(masuk Ikea mesti la lama..heheh) we got down to eat at Waroeng Penyet.

Super yummeh!!

I have eaten at Ayam Penyet Ria(my fave previously because their catfish is crispy and the sambal is yummy) and also Ayam Penyet Api(their sambal isn't good at all!Api my ass.But boyf likes the fact that they give you 2 catfish per set) and I have to say-----

WAROENG PENYET has the best sambal &will be my numero uno for Lele Penyet from now on!!Super good that I asked for EXTRA SAMBAL.Something which I don't do at Ayam Penyet Ria or Api which shocked the boyf cos it was very hot sambal.hehe.

The jus alpukat was dissapointing

The soda gembira tasted much better than Ayam Penyet Ria(ayam penyet api doesn't have soda gembira!).But their jus alpukat(avocado juice) was nothing to shout home about.Afterwards dropped of raya choc chip cookies orders to a friend &one of my ex-students and then we went home.

The eve of Raya:

Homemade pizza for my family & his--made 10 of these!

Started the day at noon.Prepped stuff for the pizza.Made the dough and the chopped,sauteed,grilled some of the toppings.Made lychee pudding as well.Also made the pineapple tart filling and chocolate cookie dough as well.Pheww!I cooked and baked from 12-5pm!Crazyyyyyy.

Fresh choc chip cookies for syg's family..:)

The boyfriend came over to pick up the pizzas and he was amazed at the amount of food I made that day.haha.After berbuka of lotsa pizzas with my family,my parents and I minus my brothers went to PKNS &SACC for some last minute raya shopping.I found my baju raya and my mum did as well.

The boyf was busy making ketupats that night with his dad while his mum &siblings went to PKNS--his lil sis was sweet enough to help him pass me some of the raya dishes that his mum made:super yummy daging dendeng,serunding kelapa(a first time for me)&kuah kacang(which tasted exactly like the one my grandma use to make!) .

showing off his ketupat

When I went home we skype-d to see his 'work'. His dad was there as well & he was like 'Shame on you for not knowing how to anyam a ketupat'..muahahahah.My dad knows how but me &my other family member have no idea how to do so.:P Afterwards I baked some pineapple tarts for raya and I slept around 3 am!

RAYA DAY!:

Woke up,went to Nenek's house and didn't wear my baju raya yet as we're going to the kubur first.All of my relatives that has passed away--my grandma &grandpa on my dad's side,my grandpa on my mum's side and my great grandmother on my mum's side were all buried(okay that sounded cryptic but right now I don't know the right word to use,so very sorry!) at Kawasan Perkuburan Shah Alam Sect 21.

When we were at Nenek's house,my cousins weren't there yet and they came a few mins after us.My uncle from Alor Setar came a day before.After a bit of breakfast,we went to the kubur in 3 cars.Me with my cousin Kak Hani &my family in my dad's car while my uncle in his car.

All the ladies that were there in the morning..there's lots more but some went to their other half's kampung

My retard siblings & cousin

Guess whos cookies finish first?hehe

Me &my family(my bros were laughing cos my cousin made a joke behind camera!)

Me & my cousins in our baju raya!

My greedy brothers!haha

After we went to the kubur,change into raya clothes,then salam with each other &also duit raya exchange session + picture taking session began.As someone who's working already,I gave duit raya to my young cousins & also my grandma.I got a few angpows as well cos' I'm still not married.hehehe.Yes!

Had to go to Tesco afterwards as usual there will be shortage of some kind of ingredient or ice.So weird wearing my 'glam' baju raya to tesco with my lil brother.haha.

Late grandpa's passport

As we were waiting for our other relatives to arrive,my cousins and my brothers ransacked my late grandpa's wardrobe and tried on some stuffs.Our aunts allowed us to take stuffs that fits us.My late grandpa Sheikh Haji Jamaluddin Al-Radzi is a very tall and super skinny man.

So although I could fit into his blazers,there was no way any of us could fit into his pants.Except for my super skinny lil brother Raffiq and also my cousin Syazni.

My cousins Firdaus &Syazni wearing our late grandpa's blazer..:)

I got this beautiful blueish grey blazer that I can't wait to wear!Also got this pretty gold watch that fits my wrist perfectly..:) I miss my late grandpa so much.He was a great grandfather,father and husband.

My cute lil cousin who loves cheesecake..when she opens her eyes she looks like a Korean baby!

In the evening we went home as my dad's brother was coming to our house.At night my lil brother was so excited as he got to play fireworks that was given by one of our uncles because my parents doesn't allow it and doesn't buy it for us.But my dad made an exception and even played with my brother that night and he was so happy.hehe

*My happy lil brother Raffiq with his Thunder clap mercun*

By 3rd raya I was already back at work..:( On the brightside,the boyfriend came to teman me for lunch during both days that I was working,which was great and so sweet of him..:)) He brought lele penyet from Ayam Penyet Ria during 3rd of raya &4th day(yesterday) I tried AhCheng Laksa for the 1st time with him & it was so good!Will bring my mum with me the next time I go there!
