books galore

source: google

i received these two books in the mail the other day.
and i only paid RM40 for them.
really, im serious.
i found i real great website for book lovers like myself & they sell pre loved books (but for me they look just like brand new) for a fraction of a price.
im now planning to purchase a few more books for my collection.
Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic Series for starters.
interested?
don't take my word for it.
visit here.

footnote: my broadband is officially dead. i miss being online every day. :(

congratulations AMER & ETA

remember the post about me leaving to KL about two weeks back?
i actually went to Port Dickson to attend a wedding.
i was supposed to publish an entry about it once i got back home but my broadband started showing symptoms of terminal illness i had to put it to rest.
for almost a week now, i been carrying around my laptop to places with WIFI access just to get connected.
so forgive me for the short updates & lack thereof.
(cause when i do get online, i'd be spending most of my time taking care of my crops & animals in Farmville. im at level 32 now by the way. ;p )

without further a due,
here are the pics taken on that day.
i apologized for the pictures' poor quality.
nevertheless, do enjoy!

sis, me & zahra who was obviously annoyed

sis with sis in law & zahra who was pretty much still annoyed

urs truly with sleeping baby emile

anyway, i had the perfect answer for the ever ending question, 'When's ur turn?'
actually, my bro answered it for me.
when asked, he promptly replied, 'Ayang is waiting for her blue-eyed knight in shining armour.'
not exactly in those words but u get my point.
he obviously knows my taste in men.
;p

happy birthday, dear!

it's like all my favourite guys are celebrating their birthdays this month.
with that, i wanna wish my dear friend, Hathsey,
HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY!
can't wait for December to come cause he'll be home for Christmas.
i'll be counting the days.
(^_^)

happy birthday, bro!

before the day ends, i'd like to wish my dearest brother, Azahar,
HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY!
as he said, age is just a number & he's damn right cause to me he doesn't look his age at all but younger.
;)

..and im leaving on a jetplane

i'll be leaving for KL in a few hours but i'm still thinking about what to pack.
for those close to me knows that this is a common sight, my love for last minute preparation for everything!
it's true when they say old habits die hard.
an interesting thing happened just now (and i find it funny), while loading our stuff into our overstuffed luggage, my sis & mum suddenly got choked up & teary eyed.
thinking about our cat!
we had to let him stay at my aunt's cause we won't be around for 4 days.
my sis even had a little souvenir from him last night when she sent him there.
a deep, long scratch on her left arm.
pretty obvious he didn't want to stay.
so the two of them were talking about him & his antics which never failed to make us laugh.
i was excluded cause i wasn't that close to him, not because i m heartless ok?
i could be worse that's why i didn't allow myself to be attached in the first place.
cat story aside, i need to continue packing.
i'll be attending a wedding & majlis bercukur this weekend so i need to look my best cause i'll be on the watch for potential partners.
and i need to come up with a witty comeback for the usual 'when will be ur turn?' question.
:D

destress urself

watching law abiding citizen last night was a real different experience.
for starters, we were in Hall 4 in MBO Cinema where all the seats are couple seats with reclining back rest.
as first timers there, my sis and I were like 'waaa, best!' and started to rock back & forth on the chair.
we were like Neanderthals, we just couldn't help it.
and my, was it cold in there!
in all the movie was great.
it's one of the movies where u have to watch til the end cause u don't have a clue what will happen next.
and what's more, i got to see my favourite man half naked.
Gerard Butler is damn fine!
:D

as promised, here are a few ways on how to alleviate excessive stress u're dealing with.
(Clyde, Gerard's character should apply some of these before he starts taking things into his own hands)

~ be aware of ur stressors & emotional & physical reactions
~ recognize what u can change
~ reduce the intensity of ur emotional reactions
~ learn to moderate ur physical reactions to stress
~ build ur physical reserves
~ maintain ur emotional reserves
~ eliminate stress from ur environment
~ improve air quality around u
~ change bad lighting
~ organize & decorate
~ have personal space
~ learn meditation & breathing techniques
~ focus on an object / sound
~ create a mental image of a pleasant & relaxing place in ur mind & immerse urself in that

why am i suddenly an expert in this stress thingy?
actually i just went through a one day training on STRESS MANAGEMENT yesterday so i thought about sharing what i learn from that.
so that we all can be less stressed out & when we do, we know how to handle it better.
hope it helps, folks!
(^_^)

stressed out? destress!

do you . . . . . .

experience memory problems?
find it hard to make decisions?

desire to escape or run away?
have urges to laugh or cry at inappropriate time?

or

are you . . . . . .

moody & hypersensitive?
depressed?
angry & resentful?
easily irritated & on edge?
lacking confidence?

and suffering from . . . . .

back pain?
headaches?
stomachaches?
ulcers?

then u must be STRESSED.

i know i am cause i said yes to most of the above.
especially now when my internet connection keeps getting disconnected.
(along with other things)
but fear not, i will share with all of u on how to alleviate all those excessive stress but u have to wait for my next post.
i'm getting ready to watch Law Abiding Citizen starring Gerard Butler (yum!) & Jamie Foxx and later have a late supper at McD.
my diet?
to hell with it.
i'm destressing.
:p

why do they have to take it away from me?

"please bring me back my Whitnut.."

-credits of google-

it's way past midnight & my sweet tooth is craving for something.
for Whitnut, from Big Apple Donuts.
white chocolate on top with peanut butter filling.
*salivates*
i love it so much, i bought it each & every time i came by that place.
so frequent that even the guy there knew exactly what i wanted without me telling.
but the last time i checked, they don't make it anymore.
u should have seen the look on my face when they told me that.
a bit like Spongebob's or maybe worst.
(T_T)

he's super clean now

Miles just had his first 'official shower' today.
after more than 2 weeks!
im so horrible!
it wasn't intentional though.
it's been raining a lot lately & i've been working the afternoon shift.
excuses aside, the bottom line is im just too plain lazy!
by the way, Miles is what i decided to call my ride.
Miles gets me going the extra miles.
get it?
(thanks to Anne for the suggestion)
and right now, he looks sparkly & clean & brand new, i just love it!
kudos to the hard working blokes at The Original Carwash at Rubber Road.
ranging from RM8 - RM12 (wash only), RM13 - RM17 (wash+vacuum), RM30 - RM80 (full wash+vacuum+wax) with complimentary drink (u can choose either tea, coffee or lime juice), u can be one happy & satisfied customer like me!
(^_^)

i could use a little help here

someone's birthday is fast approaching but i still don't have a clue on what to get.

im open to suggestions.
it's for a guy by the way.
:)
