blessed

when ur mother calls ur boyfren 'a good man' and goes on to say how i'd be a fool to let this one go.

thats a pretty bright green light for you, sayang! =D

love yew!

Her name was Lola~

me and officemates were talking abt names, specifically naming our cars. i was never good at naming inanimate objects.. paling2x pun my huge stuffed cat sja, who i call rory. other than that, its car, laptop, fone etc. recently molly confessed how her car's name is bluetron (because its old and she believes it can turn into a robot) so i got her to name my car.

'ur car's black.. how about that black panther in the jungle book?'

'aku lupa namanya..'

few seconds later.

'bagheera!'

'did u google it?'

'yea i did. bah ur car's name is bagheera coz its black and old and wise'.


old and wise? hahahaha. my car's 9 yrs old sudah plg so okay. and my car is actually pemarah coz dtg balik penyakitnya ie making noises. so after riding in my car once, molly deduced that my car is pemarah (coz it makes noises) so hence it is wise. and old and wise and black equals a 'bagheera'. sherry for short (because i wanted to call it sharokan ie shahrukh khan geddit geddit and sherry for short). so if my car had an identity card, it'll be Bagheera @Sharokan.

anyway, i'm seriously contemplating in buying a car. i have one in mind but we'll see if i actually go through with buying it. i do, however, have a name for it sudah.

its gonna be called 'lulu' OR lola as in her-name-was-lola-she-was-a-showgirl lola.

so which car goes best with lulu/lola?

(lain bah anak anie. kan pilih kereta based on a name. like the car would even care what its called. pfft)

i love the name 'lulu/lola' tho. maybe i shud call the car lulu lola. like a weird nursery rhyme. haha. or lola lulu. definitely gonna get a girly car with that name. bida jua tu if i get.. a dodge and call it lola lulu?


i dont knw. we'll see. i need to find a way to get a car without breaking into my savings.

much love,

Friday equals Sports Day

so how do i fit in gym since i've started work?

i dont.

work has been slightly hectic lately because theres a few tight deadlines but insyaAllah, we'll get there on time. anyhoos, the office is quite good in organising social dos and its been a friday morning ritual to play badminton for 2 hrs (not 2hrs straight okay). followed by a chill sesh at coffee bean hee. balik modal kah nda, basically i do get exercise fitted in somehow, albeit once a week. i walk around alot in the office anyway, lunging files now and then so i guess thats my weights workout for now =)

today was the usual with some interesting twists. ran at tasek with boss. meet boss' fren with a personal trainer who invited us to join the session. did all sorts of planks and lunges right there and then in public. twas different, but oh how i miss having a trainer tell me wat to do! it was an awesome time. i wud've asked for more moves but for the trainer not being my personal trainer, i didnt say anything hehe. she did say to come again next week, so am looking forward to that!

that session made me realise the gymaholic in me is not buried too deep. i'm telling myself to join the gym again next month!

left tasek feeling uber hungry after that unexpected training session, so me and boss opted for a little breakfast b4 badminton. actually, 'little' is an understatement. we had dimsum. so i tink whatever we lost at tasek, we gained back at dynasty haha. we ate so much that we couldnt play terus at badminton, tepaksa rehat skajap. my game was a bit off today anyway. i was handal-er last week (banaaar~).

did ALL that before 12. productive day, ey? and long weekend soon. yayy!

much love,
rabi'a xoxo

Overtime

it is 8.40pm and i am still in the office. i've had back to back meetings all morning and afternoon and now i've only JUST finished my work but i kenot balik because i takut walk to my car seorang hee. so here i am, waiting for my colleagues to abis their work so we can all take the lift and walk together to the parking lot.

i could've done the work at home, but the office environment is better. This way, i won't leave stuff at home or vice versa.

and tomoro morning i am on duty to tembak-tembak people with the temperature thing and stick on 'fever free' stickers on people i barely know. reporting for duty is at 7am.

i am at the office more than i am at home =p

(baik jua bujang masih =p)

thank god i get along with, and actually like the ppl i work with.

now imma think up of what to wear tomoro since everyone will see me, seeing that i'm on duty to essentially check the temperature of the whole building.

much love,
rabi'a xoxo

lunchtime shopping

during lunch today, i managed to:

• have lunch (duh!)

• beli DUA PASANG kain at shopaholics mj

• got a chocolate cheesecake from secret recipe for afternoon office snacking.

productive sangat la my lunch today. and i went with my boss, so definitely no fear of coming back to the office late hee. tho it makes me panic slightly at how much i can spend in such a short amount of time.

sigh. still on track for the wedding fund tho. but i tink no more eating out this month except the occasional cofeebean. so if u see me eat out, kana belanja tu!


much love,
rabi'a xoxo

1 month

today marks my one month anniversary since starting at work.

basar sudah ya~ haha =p

had lunch today with fadz and nis (and su who was there in spirit coz she cudnt make it). was suppose to belanja but nis beat me to the bill! padahal i planned the whole lunch thing.. hmpf. made them promise that next time, it'll be on me. hee which is funny coz dulu mesti split and everything and nobody ever argues when someone else belanja!

we were also in our work attire, which added to the whole we-are no-longer-in-high-school vibe. sigh. where did the time go, ey? we've already got a few friends married, with/expecting a baby. but at this moment in time, i can speak for us 3 that we are enjoying our newly acquired status of working singles (in the unmarried sense. of course i' m still with my boyfriend la~) and having that financially stability we've never had ever.

the whole belanja thing creates a nice fuzzy feeling inside, you knw? you are spending money on ppl u care. i reckon i read it somewhere.. a research was done where money does buy happiness but only in the sense that u feel happy when u buy things for/spend on loved ones. which works for me! hee. only recently i got my mother a watch which i've been dying to get her (psl jam nya bida plg jua haha) and now i've finally given her the watch and seeing her reaction mcm..

yayyy~

haha. also, its nice to be able to save up for the *bigplan* and not rely on sponsors or *ahem* boyfriend. who, by the way, has been very very supportive throughout my spending needs and wants in the whole 4 years of our relationship. good thing im not so demanding =p

my social life has been limited since i started work tho (eh wait, what social life?). i cant go to the salon as often as i want or watch movies or GO TO THE GYM as much =(

tomoro will be a busy day tho. we're having a legal unit day out (sounds impressive but the whole unit is just 2 of us. more like a catch-up sesh with a fren haha but i like how legal unit day out sounds). gonna jog at tasek with me boss and maybe minum2x and catch up with the rest of ID at 'baddy' (as my boss puts it) after. also, esuk petang one of the nicest, sincerest and hospitable couples i know are going to be ijab kabul-ed =D alhamdulillah~

is it sad that i'm excited about jogging and going to a wedding? haha. no, pls dont answer.

much love,
rabi'a xoxo
