a post in bullet points only means one thing.
i. am. lazy.
=p
on the contrary, methinks it makes me stay on point. so.. a summary of my last month so far as follows.. and definitely NOT in order.
- had my very first job interview. dont know if i got the job.. (tho from the looks of it i didnt..) which wasnt quite the experience that i thought it shud be. which is just as well i guess. maybe not my rezeki. (or theirs, since they'll be missing out on an amazingly talented individual such as myself LOL)
- went over to boyfriend's house for the 2nd time. this time i am definitely positively say they like me =p
- only went out for sungkai twice.. but its a fine number for me.. lgi siuk terawih!
- terawih 20 rakaat does make me lose weight! coolbeans kan?
- when i sungkai out i tend to eat less. kenapa ya kan tu? control mkn depan boyfren kali? hahaha yaarright.
- i am slowly driving the rexton again. sucks that i cant go fast on it tho.
- realised that i have the guts to do 170km/h on the highway.
- missed out on mamacits' creme brulee!
anyhoots~ will leave the juicy tidbits for face to face encounters. raya's around the corner so will definitely see everyone (or most of everyone) so yayy!! also, gym membership unfreezes on the 23rd.. back to the gym then! cause im starting to get bingo wings! ick!
enjoy the last few days of ramadhan.
much love,
be'ah xoxo

tapi kalau boyfren ku siuk. walaupun ia sudah baca sini he still listens to my stories. yatah bisaikan boyfren ku atu.
anyway, thank u so much kaka alin for making my dreams come true ie i FINALLY got to eat lobster and to ali no u are not fat and to huda remember me always, esp when u hear the jai ho song =p

Meet The Parents
i finally did it! =D
i have been meticulously avoiding such an event because i am
a) shy
b) not ready
c) too nervous to function
d) all of the above
after 3 years (going on 4 next january) of being together, and him insisting i meet his parents after i graduate.. well, it was inevitable. his family had a sungkai function on thrusday night, so not only was i gonna meet the parents, i was gonna meet his grandparents, siblings, sister-in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, neices - basically the whole lot of them!
Because i was still super nervous, i dragged my cousin imah to go with me for support. so much for support tho, she was there just teasing me and enjoying my reactions when ppl look at me etc! =p nadawah mah, u were great and i owe you big time for coming with me.
anyway, i think the first phase of seamlessly fitting in 'as-if-i-was-one-of-them' turned out great. i actually enjoyed myself hee. his aunt who used to study in kent was there, and her children were so happy to see me that i betchu it put me in the good books of the women there haha. kirakan pandai melayan kanak2x la tu~
Also, i got on extremely well with his 2 sister-in-laws, and his sisters too. the brothers liat2x la sja haha but then i didnt reli knw wat to say to them. nobody asked me 20qs which is why i think i'm fine.
oh, and most importantly, the dad smiled at me! i have always been forever scared sh*tless (pardon my french) of him but he was the first one to greet me as i entered the house and he was just sooo friendly! i guess u cant judge a book by its cover. next came his youngest sister whoe demurely salaamed me and imah (but as the night wore on i discovered shes not as demure as she acts. read: quite wacky hehe) and then his sister-in-law, carrying her son on her hip and immediately teased me bcoz she knew how nervous i was. and in one of the many times the mum came up to me to make sure i am eating etc, she referred herself as 'babu' to me. i wudnt have believed it but for imah who was there and confirmed it!
in conclusion, (because theres no point in going into detail, this post is purely for me), i think i got the green light =)
moving on.
my weight went up early this week, making me a bit panicky. i mean, i was fasting so how was it that i gained? granted, i've been eating double chocolate brownies from pipops and cupcakes from cits.. so i decided to up my discipline in portion control and reli reli reli stick to my portions. it worked and this week i'm back to my previous hee. i tink the weight gain was a false alarm kali but then if i let it be, krg another point 5 kilo until jadi 5 kilos.
speaking of goodies, next week i planned to sleepover at the land of yummy food ie cits. i shall do my best not to think of my weight while im there.. i can always work it off anyway.
on a totally unrelated post, i have picked up all my baju raya and am ready for raya! oh wait.. sans shoes. but ppl who had their boxes pick up in june have already had theirs arrived so im thinking my boxes will arrive within the first 2 weeks of raya. in any case, i dont think i'm gonna buy more shoes.. there is one pair that will suffice until my box of shoes come.
till the next post, assalamu'alaikum.

irrelevant post
theres a lot i need to clean up around here.
and i am not looking forward to the clean-up =/
also, my weight has been yo-yo ing, so i am not very happy when i step on the scales. i tink i need to give it a rest. its puasa, theres a whole load of other stuff i shud be thinking about and doing something about other than my weight.
my bajus for raya will be done sometime this week, which cheers me up a bit. i went for another fitting on monday and tried on my 3rd baju (from the kain i was supposedly just to cuci mata from) and maaang.. its gaw-jus. hee. also, i am super hairan why my weight is slowly creeping up but my baju size seems to be going down. like how i cud fit into size 4 at 1kg heavier than when i was a size 6. and also how my baju raya keeps needing to be altered despite another slight weight increase.
maybe my bones are getting heavier? lol. have been drinking anlene as of late. tapi its suppose to make bones stronger, not heavier.. or maybe the two go together.. hmm..
i have another full day of errands to do today. cant believe its already september! tengok anak bulan is on the 19th.. and lastnite there was already a significant decrease in jemaah terawih.. which usually happens mid-ramadhan bcoz ladies will be busy baking cookies and cakes for raya.
speaking of which, i miss baking. if only my oven worked. there is still a sleepover at mamacits' to be done but when im there, its easier to just let her do all the baking.. after all, she's the one who introduced baking to me back when we were 7 hehe.
bah gonna get try get another 40 winks before i start my day. assalamu'alaikum!
much love,

Ramadhan Mubarak
selamat berpuasa everybodeh.
i've freezed my gym membership to give way for puasa and ramadhan. last year i didnt, coming in only for yoga and pilates. this time tho, since i knw i'll be around longer i can afford to freeze gym time =)
daus randomly asked for my banana and sour cream cupcakes. i've forgotten all about them! but now that he's mentioned it, i'm actually craving for some! so thanx to him, i need to find the recipe (or similar to it) somewhere online so i can make some. if menjadi, then insyaAllah shall give him some. kesian jua org craving wah! hehe lgipun its puasa so yea.
i had a long day out doing chores ystrdy, most of it accompanying a brother buy stuff before he flies off to study in UK for the first time. and i did something which i am quite proud of too, and which i consider quite a difficult feat.. namely get four brothers decide on their cara melayu colour (because now they dont want to wear the same colour.. so imagine choosing 6 different shades of blue and making sure none of them has the shade sudah!), buy the kain and terus potong at tailor. all in one day. during puasa. i mean, 2 of them are forever complaining of fatigue bcoz of puasa and all 4 are indecisive as h*ll. so to make all of them choose a colour and terus potong is no mean feat. banaaarrr.
speaking of tailors and baju raya.. (and i had to go thru my past 2 posts to check if i mentioned anything last time, and i havent done so at all)
i'll start from the top.
i came back from uk thinking it'll be too late to make baju raya. my tailor from last year already refuses to take new orders and to top it off, i havent bought kain so kalau kan buat emergency pun, mesti pilih kain dulu. plus i was quarantined, so kan jln bali kain pun susah! so twas quite a dilemma to be in! first time back for raya for over a week and i had no baju at all!!
long story short, thanx to shopaholic mj for giving me access to gorgeous kain. i tink i got about 6 pairs from them.. 3 for my mum, of course! then iman found me a tailor.. so managed to potong baju raya as well! the new tailor is so nice and accomodating too.. so much so that when i went kain cuci mata with bf, te bali lgi kain because i knew the tailor wud still accept! hehe. and she did when i antared the kain ystrdy. so yayyyyy! as of now, me gots meself 3 baju rayas and the sole one i made last year has only been worn twice, so will suffice for this year's as well.
funny how baju raya can make me happy.
anyhoo, till next post. jaga puasa =)
much love

change
obvs been out and about, hence lacking in updates. been uber busy running errands, specifically the ones involving MOE, reporting back and watnot. also been driving brothers around.. and hitting tiangs.
i kid i kid. i only hit ONE tiang so far. anyway, been coming over to mamacits a lot as well which equals to cupcakes which equals to size 4 jeans being a helluva pain to put on =(
first day out from quarantine and i managed to stop over at the gym hehe. met rose, my trainer, who is sadly leaving by the end of this month =( talked abt renewing membership and watnot.. and i found out that every trainer i knew is gone bar one.
regardless, i've signed and paid for the gym. used up my last hundred too hehe but i havent been able to shed this last stubborn kilo from the holiday weight gain and i am determine to let that go! i knw everyone i see lately says i've lost (more) weight and they havent seen me in yonks but i tink i trust my jeans waistline more. plus plus when i met rose she didnt say anything about weight gain/loss.. which means she was being nice about my weight gain.
prior to all this gym hoopla, i go jogging at tasek. it was bearable to say the least but mang oh mang the weather is HAWT. also parking was a bitch to find haha. at least at the gym i get parking easily, its air conditioned, can watch tv while running and i get water if i forget my water bottle.
oh also i get a locker so i dont need to worry abt car keys jiggling in my pocket/hand.
i havent started going tho. baru jua tdi dpt the card. will start tomoro so expect my next posts to be about classes, trainers and the gist of going to the gym!
much love,
be'ah xoxo
