ADAMAYA...

2 weeks back was standing at my home's balcony when I was 'blinded' by bright lights. The source of the light was from a balcony from the opposite block. Ada shooting rupenyer...Called my husband, pastu d lil gal pun sebok dtg & nmpak lampu tu terus ckp 'wat dat mummy'?

Hmm, kiteorg pun busy-bod kat belakang tu, kot2 la nnati kuar tv jgak kelibat 3 branak ni. Walaupun tak tau citer aper. Then, sometime last week was at ibu's house watching 'AKASIA: ADAMAYA' yg pelakon main dier; Sein (Ruffedge) & Lisa Surihani. Tup2, suddenly saw this living room yang layout dia sgt similar & rolling, next scene kat balcony pulak...lagila familiar sangat. Wuhuuu! my balcony & 'sidai kain/ ampaian' was on TV! Now, the mystery is solved...shooting dat I saw dat day was for AdaMaya. Glamer rase.

So, been following d story off on whenever I get d chance (Mondays to Thursdays @ 6.30pm - 7.30pm) & yup, been seeing d crew almost every night doin shooting kat d balcony again & inside d house as well as at d clubhouse. Overall, ok la citer dia...quite enjoyable ;p

1 Month Anniversary ;)

Been soo bogged down with Annual Report & work...just dont have time to update on my life updates. Nways, feels just like yesterday we we packing & getting all excited to shift to our new house. Fretting everytime we had to travel back to our house in Puchong...coz rase tak sampai2 - jauh!

Time flies really with a capital 'F'...We moved in to our new house @ Villawangsamas (VW)on 27 Feb 2010 (Saturday) and last week 27 March(also a Saturday) was exactly one month as permanent residents at VW. And so far, baru sekali je managed to go for a swim...gym - tak sempat jenguk pun lagi coz been working late daily till 9/9ish at nite. Oh boy, hopefully when d dreaded Annual Report production I would have my 'life' back!!!

Back to d story of our home sweet home...still havent managed 2 go scouting for a suitable carpet for our living room. Sorry Tok Jan, we havent had d time to go (My uncle; Pak Jan would like to buy us a gift for our new home...so, I requested for a carpet). We are also looking for a nice painting to brighten up our living area coz our theme is Black & White...

Feels good to be home after a full day work...ah yes, i lurve 'Penchala Link' & 'DUKE' coz it only takes 15 minutes to go home from the agency @ Damansara Perdana to W. Maju...YIPEE!


On another note, FINALLY got my hp repaired fully last Saturday too. So, more than a month too without my hp camera. Am so happy...can snap3 again ;)

BACK IN ACTION!

Been super ages...almost a month since I last updated. So many happenings but so lil time!

HOME SWEET HOME ;)

Alhamdulillah last 27 Feb 2010, we officially moved into our new house @ Villawangsamas or Arissa says it 'Villawangsa-NAS' ;) Real tiring coz had to solely pack all our things & clean up d house. Then, moving on to d new house oso same things unpacking, cleaning up & arranging things.FUHH! Whole body was tired out & aching. But Mr Hubby kata 'Sabar'...rupenyer he has something installed for me...A spa pampering session treat ;) (All smiles!) Thank you By! Goin 4 d session tomorrow I think.

So far, only once I had d chance to swim @ d pool. Other days got home fr office each time after d sun has set. Basically = NO LIFE!

Dream of goin  2 d gym, yet to be realized. Perhaps after d peak period at work is over. But syukur, goin home now really feels like 'Home Sweet Home'...to know that its ur very own home, d environment which makes u feel like ur on vacation at a hotel/ resort ;) Thank you so much Abang By for d lovely home...Love u bunches!

LIL ANGEL ARISSA SOFEA

Time flies, my baby boo will be 2 end on this month Insya'Allah! Sucha big gal aready. Arissa can now:

- Combine words to make short 3/ 4 word sentences. "Mummy go work"..."

- Recognizes our house...everytime at d traffic light turning she wud say; "Mummy houshe" (house).

- Count 1, 2, 3, 4,5 till 10 altho sometimes tersasul jgak...1,2,3, 6, 10!

- Sing along with mummy 'ABC' rite till d part 'What are u going 2 do about me'!

- Eat a lil bit more that her usual 1/2 spoons of rice. She is soo into chicken, fish especially when its fried. She can also take rice & bread. The Appeton is finally taking its toll.

WORK

Usual2, same old2, everytime I bring up d topic of transferring...Mr Big boss wud flip & say tunggu dulu till finish evaluation all...bla3! So, am still in 'tunggu dulu' mode. Doin my job with d crap working ppl around me...Oh d things I have to bear! Shux & SUX BIG TIME! Malasla nk cerita. Ni pun ada kat office...doin my Annual Report photo shoot. Somehow d talent's dress tak kene...so, kene balik umah & find another more suitable baju. While I'me stuck here till d shoot ends. Most probs 5pm or 6pm! DAMN!

Oh ya, still havent gotten my hp camera repaired. Sedey tul! Will further update nanti....Taaa!

Curtain Hunting

Updates on new home...renovation in progress & due to complete before d CNY insya'Allah. Most weekends are filled with curtain hunting activity...from MACY, IKEA to Nagoya & also Jusco. Measurements for some of d areas; sliding door, master bedroom and Arissa's room are slightly more than d standard measurements - not able to settle for d ready made ones at Jusco altho they do have quite nice collections. 

I've been eye-ing this fuchia coloured ones with cute 'fawer' (as how Arissa pronounces "flower") for Arissa's room but too bad! Basically have to custom made & MACY is quite pricey...ones dat are quite ok goes from a minimal of RM 40 per metre just for d fabric! Itu havent added on cost for 'pattern' of curtain i.e roman blinds, french pleats, etc...cost for sewing & other2 cost. Oh ya, we also had d MACY free measurement curtain service come to our house & he quoted minimum price of RM 2K (5 areas/windows). He also share info that MACY charged for every lil thing (even small curtain clips that cost 40 sen) & usually no discounts given. 

As for IKEA, choices not much to my liking & Mr Hubby said he heard reviews that d curtains are not dat good. Not too sure bout that.

My dear friend Asrin gave high recommendations to do at Nagoya. Went there & they said to get my curtain railings installed first and come back after that to proceed with purchasing of fabric, curtain pattern, etc. Basically, selection memang banyak kat Nagoya & price oso not that bad from as low as RM 10 per metre right up to RM 15 per metre. S

Intend to go back to VillawangsaMas today & measure my windows - final measurement hopefully. I think I'll go with Nagoya...

Updates on New Home ;)

So far alhamdulillah all on track...we have submitted our defects report to the developer for rectification on 23 Jan. Hopefully it can be done soon & we can move in faster.

As of today, Mr Hubby said he has paid d contractor to do up grille for d house, plaster ceiling & lightings wiring. Work will most prob-ly start tomorrow & finish by 11 Feb. 

On 26 Jan, after reaching home from Mr Hubby's hometown we went curtain survey-ing & furniture hunting lagi...this time around for a suitable tv cabinet. Since its always so hard for us to take leave & we were already on leave we might as well make full use of our leave...So, we found a quite simple tv cabinet & a mirror to give the 'more spacious' effect ;p

Anways, something that I'de like to share is an e-mail that I receive from Mr Hubby on our new home progress...being the meticulous & planner person that he is. The e-mail is no suprise - simply one of the reasons I LOVE MR HUBBY! So organized...This is the excerpt:

Mr Hubby memang suke plan semenjak dari sebelum kahwin. When we wanted to get married he even had a checklist, perhaps of his 'events management background'. Anyways, initially, we wanted to move in to the new house on 20 Feb but Mr Hubby sedduenly got to know that he has mid-sem exams that day. So, gotta postpone. Will update later, Mr Hubby ajak balik dah (still at d office now)...Taa!

BIG DAY...

HOME SWEET HOME...

Insya'Allah tomorrow @ 11.00am, we will be collecting keys to our new house...FUTURE HOME SWEET HOME ;) Seriously can't wait...Have requested 1/2 day leave & syukur Boss bagi green light.

                                      Mr Hubby said petang2 jer terjun pool...

Arissa sure d happiest - fulltime water baby ;p

Counting Days...

The count down begins...YESSS! We are officially moving in to our new house in Wangsa Maju end of Feb 2010, Insya'Allah!

For starters, last Saturday we went furniture hunting...

1 of the tv cabinets that I kinda loike ;p

We drove down all d way to Macy, Seri Kembangan...went round d store few times and
we saw these:

Proposed Mr Hubby to buy this table but he said too low...

We liked this table, but the glass top wasnt attached to the wooden panel below. Dangerous! especially with lil hyper Arissa around

Then, we saw this beautiful black leather sofa & nice glass coffee table. So, we decided to buy it & delivery will be on 21 Feb 2010 ;) This is the sofa...

Simple yet elegant @ the same time...

Table terlupe plak nk snap coz sebok tunngu d sales boy check ada tak stock baru ;p Meantime, here's some pics of Arissa - suke betul dia dapat run around d huge furniture store...

Take 5! Penat 'tawaf' kedai...

Cute bean bag seat...tapi tak bape practical- Arissa struggle nk duduk

Contented after furniture shopping, sian Ayah...mummy tak snap Ayh's pic

Si 'Ms Pipi Labuh'!

Mummy decided on a new hairdo for Arissa ;)...Nice kan

Anways, back to d story of furniture hunting...With purchase of a certain amount at Macy customers will receive a hamper. Wehuuu food!

'Cik Baydah' sebok meng-inspect sambil 'curik tulang' dari sapu umah ;p

Arissa pun happy dapat hamper...hehe! Hamper tinggi sikit dr Arissa ;)

That's all for now...will update on our next expedition of 'Pindah rumah' chronicles ;)
