Post Birthday Blues

I've got the bug!
Not really a post-birthday blues bug, bt more to I'm sick of working bug.
I am soooooooo at the verge....
Watever...

On a very lighter tone:
I GOT A BLOODY FUCKING SUZUKI SX4 FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!
WITH HANS ISAAC IN IT!!!

Ok, NO. I did not get that. But I'd probably get your attention and Nadia's attention
and Atiqah's attention for a while.

What I did get is.... A CAMERA!!!! Oh Wait!
A HOT PINK DIGITAL CAMERA!
Bt er... I dunno what't the model. Nvm, menttal note: To check digicam model.
Though it's not my latest Canon Ixus, bt it'll do just FINEEEEEEEE.

You know what I like about it? It's one strike off my birthday wishlist and now I can permanently camwhore and not bother about what others wld say coz it's MY camera!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Special thanks to Ryan for the camera. I know he got it for his beloved Mak Ngah!
Oklah, oklah, nanti kang nxt year gua tk dpt hadiah baru padan muka kan...? So...
Special thanks to My sisters - Along & Diyana ( shocked eh.... Diyana ada contribute for the prezzie! First time in my life!!!!!!!) and My Abg Ipar - Shahreil.

WAIT A MIN! I JUST REALISE SOMETHING!
MUMMY DIN GIVE ME A PREZZIE???????
MUST CALL HER TO CHECK!!!!

Ok, after a 9 mins 57 seconds of conversation with my Mum, she said she contributed
for the camera. So... special thanks to My Mum - Munahwarah / Masita.

Oooohhh.... I am suddenly thinking about my sinful birthday cake...
Mental note: Must go eat cake when reach hm. Provided the piranhas at hm lum bedal dulu ah.

So how did the birthday went? Ok..... I guess.... The day's normal.
I argued with a staff of er... another BODY because of the stupid process they have
and almost got another heart attack. I could feel my heart crushing. Bt then,
a bit drama mama kan if I die on my birthday? So decided not to lor. ;p Other than that,
work is pretty shitty. As always. Why? I dunno. I guess I just don't have the mood to anymore.

Bt then I got surprised when Marlene gave me a prezzie! So Sweeeeeetttttttt.....!
And a bigger surprise that nearly got me alll teary-eyed.

Afni, my friend of 20 years, (yup, 20 years! The longest friend I ever have!),
gave me a special birthday message on air. I can't really remember exactly what
the message was bt basically she said something like

"Fiza, Fiza, Fiza...
Hari ini birthday my gf tau! We have been friends since we were 5 years old.
Sekarang ni, dia dah cecah umur suku abad, so we have been friends for 20 years!
Untuk gf saya Nurashikin Mohamad, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I love you to bits!"

Fiza said.... this is sooooooooooooooo sweetttttttttttt... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...!

Imagine that the first time someone declared love for me on air and its not my bf/tunang/laki.
But it feels soooooo much better than having bf/tunang/laki saying it! I guess lah. I have none of the above bt my practicality tells me that its sweeter when a gf says it coz bf/tunang/laki, will HAVE to say it mahhh...

To Nur Afni Safrianie: I LOVE YOU TO BITS TOO! THANKS GALFREN!!!!

And to put icing on the cake, my dearest cuzins Yani and Nadia, came over to
celebrate with my family! I know Atiqah wld too should she be in Singapore
instead of Auckland. Nevertheless, she was one of the first few to wish me!
And then I just remembered, I don't remember striking a pose with them!
HOW KENTAL KIN! Darlings.... we have to camwhore together k!
Simpang, amcam?

To Nadia and Yani and Atiqah: THANKS SO MUCH CUZZIE FOR THE WISHES,
THE LOVE AND ENTERTAINMENT!!!! ( well, when we, cuzzins, gather, apa lagilah,
sesi gossips galore pun bermula... nasib baik tk iftar together tiap2 hari,
kalau tk pose sebulan pun tk gune! ;p bt then...we loikkkeeee kan!!!! Inilah
yang dikatakan family bonding! ;p)

And of coz that special topping on the cake is to have the Guest-of-Honour
grace my celebration! None other than si TONET!!!
Ryan Iskandar!!!

I was going to put up the pics bt I wanna collate everything first.
So Yani and Along, please email me the pics so I can upload them k!

The next day.... (24th Sep 2008), We, as in Along and myself
practically woke up at 4am due to the incessant ngek-ngoking Mr Ryan.
I strongly believed he was meng-igauing and most probably dreaming
that he lost a battle with Ultraman and is very irritated by the fact. And when he
realised he was just dreaming, he blow, den he continued to do cry lah.
Budak manja kan... Tapi cute pulak when after dier get his milk, and eksyen tido
seperti biasa, his Ibu and me were gossiping about him and saying things like
"We know, dier eksyen jer tido..." and then he tersengeh-sengeh sooo widely.
Either that, or his next dream, he won the battle with Ultraman.

But basically, we did not get proper shut eye up to 10am. And at almost 11 am.
we decided to abandon him to get our hair done! I almosttttttt got my hair permed
if not for the budgetary constraint. So I went for a simple Wash & Cut. Along definitely
got her hair permed again. And so I had to wait for 1.5 hr while she had her hair permed.
We decided that we should go back home to say Hi & Bye to Ryan before proceeding
to the Maybank and to Tanjong Katong Complex.

The first purchase? A size 1, green coloured, teluk blangah, baju kurung for Ryan.
Then we went around and around the whole building trying to look for
something for Mummy. We found an affordable pink baju kurung for Ibu, then we
went to look for an extremely light pink baju kurung for Ayah bt cldn't find any.
After almost 3 hours,we decided that we will not buy any for Ayah as Ayah said
he doesn't need another baju kurung! So we thought now, looking for something for Ibu
is easy as we do not need to match colours. We were sooooo wrong.
Bt we finally bought a $165 green baju kurung from Yasmin. If I'm not wrong,
the price is $198 and the salesgirl said, I can give you cheaper, $195. Then I said...
Huh??? $195 only..??? Give me $170 lah... Den she went to her calculator, press some
numbers and said... "I give you $169" I went err... in my head as I have never had the experience of a seller giving me a cheaper price than what I bargained for. And then
she added, "kalau betul2 nak beli saya kasi $165 lah" Ok... I am sooo going to Yasmin
every year to try this bargaining strategy.

Anywho, none of the baju I saw suits my taste and my budget, and so this year,
I shall declare it the first year that I am not buying a new baju Raya. I shall have to
find whatever I have in my almari that still fits me. Mental note: have to look for that
super-huge black baju kebaya I made 6 years ago. Treasure finding session will start soon.
And then I remembered I got no shoes too. You know my case about my pondan feet.
Kalau nk beli mcm merepek jer tk beli baju beli kasut kan. So I've decided to wear my
black slippers that I'm wearing now. It has bling-blings on it, so tk nampak mcm selipar
jepun lah.

Moving on, we went to Sultanah as I think we are subconsciously guilty that we did not
buy any baju from Sultanah thie year. Even Kak Su kata kiter dh tk geng dier. Bt we went
there for a mission you see. To get Mak Lek a.k.a Mak Mentua Along a.k.a Mak Shahreil
this brooch yang sebesar tapak tangan (without the fingers maybe..). Before you get all so shocked, NO, Mak Lek did not ask for a brooch that big, bt yes, Shahreil took Kak Julie's
words literally. He tends to do that. But then we got her a brooch almost that big.
It's very the vavavoom.

We then proceed to Joo Chiat complex or to be precise, Shahreil then drove me to
Joo Chiat Compex so that I can buy for him 3 tix to Wings concert.
Now that we are on this topic, Yani and Nadia, wanna come????

Then we drove to TM to catch the 4.50pm show for Step Brothers. Si pompan
dari gua musang ni biasalah dah lama tk tgk wayang kan... mcm excited gitu. Tapi yang
tak best nyer bile masuk wayang and tak angkat coke kat tangan... Hmm..
Pas pose ni I have to go to the movies. BTW, I have this Buy 1 get 1 free voucher
yg valid till 30 Sep sbb my birthday month kan. I forgot to bring it yesterday, so I still
have it with me. Siapa nak tgk wayang ngan I before the 30th???

We then went to Bali Thai to buka poser. We bought this ala-carte buffet thingy and had
a fill. Kenyang oiiii....! And then we proceeded to Giant to buy 7 cartons of F&N drinks -
5 for my house and 2 for Cik Ahmad's House (sponsored by my mum). If budget this year
was better, I would have sponsored that for him like the past years, bt too bad...
Which reminds me I have to forget about getting new sarung bantal besar, new alas kaki for
the toilet and cadar for my room. I have no time to get it. Money? I can eat more grass
and air in October and spare a bit for the house. Maybe I'll rush on Sat or Sun and get them.

So back from Cik Ahmad's house I drove the car. According to Shahreil very slowly,
but he was exxagerating. It was slower than normal, bt not THAT slow. Anywho, I have
not drive for exactly 1 year 1 mth and I keep thinking at the back of my head that
Nadleen and Afni was involved in an accident recently. And both of them are what I call
veteran drivers. Ok, Afni was involved in a 4-cars pile-up to be exact. So thinking about that
made me more nervous. I mean very the Scarry Merry on the Rocks kan! Bt, both of
them are fine, bt not their cars, obviously. And the car I was driving is not even mine!
Kalau pape jadi kat kreta tu, I can count on eating grass and air for the rest of my life! That,
plus Shahreil jusssst got the car bumper injured. I do not want to make it worse!

So we reach home almost at 9.30pm and after washing my face I quickly went to see Ryan.
So sad that I did not spend my time-off by lazing around with him. Even sadder that
Along and Shahreil said the next time we'll see Tonet is during Raya. Bt now, I have clips
of him in my digicam, so I can watch them over and over again whenever I miss
that kementot guy. That or video calls!

I went to bed early yesterday at around 11pm. Though still sleepy when I woke up
for work, it was slightly less sleepy as compared to the previous nightsssss. Bt now, I'm
bored as hell, sleepy as hell, grumpy as hell.

My mood lifted up a bit, just a tinyyyyyyyyyyy notch when I realised that my gaji
dah naik by another $80. Yeayyy!!!! And since they owe me from Jun 08, my this
month's pay is soooo much higher. Yeayyy!!! Now, I can buy stuffs for the house
and might not have to eat grass for that!

And if you are wondering if I did bake any kuihs yesterday as promised, well..
the answer is an obvious NO.

Oh well, I can buy more kuehs and eat grass later. Or eat all the kuehs for lunch and
dinner for 1 mth.

I suddenly can't wait for Raya.
