By far, there's nothing more challenging than shopping for groceries with 2 little active toddlers ...alone..

According to plan, Alis & Erin will be with ibu @ Bt Pahat till sunday. So I had ruled out my plan for 3 day ( or nites) accordingly during my kids away. Macam pakej pelancongan lak kan... I am a planner. I planned for everything, be it holiday trip, weekends, outings and such. I find myself more relax if i had plan things ahead of me. Like I'm in control of situations which is mostly 99 % wrong hahaha...most of my plan normally doesn't turn out like what i hope for but it's ok... I still do plan my day or my schedule everyday and then , let Yg Maha Mengetahui yg decided what is best for me.

So my plan are as follows :

|Friday|

What I had in plan - After works, dropped by at Sengsei to buy Alis and Erin's formulas and pampers , and DVD's.. as i wanted to have DVD marathon that nite.

What actual happened - Terrrrrrr-divert to IOI mall and done some retail therapy myself hahahahaha.. Well, I think i can forgive myself for thiss..still x lari jauh mana kan.. Grabbed a few stuff for kiddies, shirts for my father, few things for me ( shhhhhhh I can't tell u what i bought cos my Minister of Finance did read my blog u see. We dun want khutbah Jumaat secara langsung from Kuwait, dun we? hehhhe ) then singgah DVD rental shop, beli movies. Haaaa this one can tell ahhahaa.. I got myself Everybody's Fine, Couples Retreat, It's Complicated, Princess and frog for cik Alis and few American Pies series ehemm ehemmm ehemm...I dun watched all though coz I still have to work the next day. Overall that nite, i watched 2 DVDs with a bowl of steaming hot maggee tomyam.... heavennnn !

|Saturday|

What I had in plan - Watched Valentine's Day with my work mate. Pompuan ehh !!! Sila jangan spekulasi..

What actual happened - Terrrrrrrrrr-jalan jalan, lepak Big Apple sambil tambah jumlah lemak tepu yang sedia ade, then jalan lg, bought few blouses and shoe...then dinner makan Yong Tau Fu. Reached home around 11, shower and performed Isya' prayer and was about to start my another episode of DVD marathon when my phone rang :

Ibu : Zura, akak dh nak sampai Puchong ni, balik awal x tahan panas sgt cuaca kat Batu Pahat. Zura nk akak anta budak2 ke, nk datang amik ke, atau biar derang tido rumah akak je?

Zura(gedik gile kan sebut nama sdiri Zura) : haaa dh dekat smpi ker? Saya gi amik rumah akak , sian lak akak nk kena antar..

Ibu : Ehh, x per la...akak anta, kesian Zura nk kuar blk malam malam.. X pun biar tido rumah akak je la..

Zura : Ehhhh x per x per... akak tolong anta rumah saya ek...

Watching movies -relaxing-soundless sleep-No hanky panky VS 2 times nite shift bancuh susu-repeatedly have to mop lantai sbb mkn minum tumpah- rumah sepah

Winner : My kids anytime!!!..No nego..No doubt..No competition at all.

|Sunday|

What I had in plan - Shop for groceries/toiletries of the month alone before the kids back from Bt Pahat then cook their lunch and dinner so by the time they're back home, everything will be ready and i can lepas rindu without worrying bout have to kemas or cook or bla bla bla

What actual happened - Since i had them with me since Saturday nite, so change of plan. My mum and baby sis pun xde nk mtk tlg jaga. So i have no choice but to dragged them together sambil berdoa la jgn any of them throw tantrum at the mall. Lepas berdoa, aku atur strategi. U know, kids actually are quite easy to handle if u understands their behaviour and needs. So my trick was to make them happy 1st, then hopefully they'll listen to me...hahaha...Sila jangan tiru, I'm such bad, twisted and tricky mummy.

What i did was :

Langkah pertama : Bodek and bribe

Bodek nk belikan kasut and slipar baru, but in returned, they have to sit in trolley all the time. Dh dapat agreement dua-dua participant yang mengambil bahagian which actually yang betul2 paham was Alis, Erin walaupun pahammmm de 18 harkat masa tanye, ntah de paham betul ke tak...hahaha janji dapat kasut baru kan. So aku bribe derang kasut baru sorang sepasang. Lg pun it's about time la sebab mmg dh worned out dah kasut memasing. 1st step done!

~Negara kuuuuuuu, tanah tumpah nye darahkuuuu, pagi2 dh patriotik dlm lift dgn muka suci~

Langkah kedua : Jalan shortcut memikat suami adelah melalui perut nyer..

I applied this trick to my kids sebab nampak keberkesanan nye masa applied kat En Muddy :) hehehe. So kite bg derang kenyang dulu. Had brunch at Chicken Rice Shop. Dah Chicken Rice then baru Shop. En Muddy dah pesan, beli barang yang ringan-ringan je dulu. Yang lain beli kemudian when the kids not around. By saying berat, he meant Dynamo, Softlan, pampers, minyak masak...but since menda tu sume dh ade depan mata....aku angkut je la... Malas nk make a second trip later.

~ Saya maukkk 4 nasi ayam !! ~

~Lupe pulak gosok gigi pagi tadi *wink wink wink* ~

I cleared my grocery list in 2 hours. Alis was behaving all the time while Erin, separuh masa kedua, de dah start boring. Insisted to navigate the trolley herself and refuse to sit still in the trolley. Since de dh start cembeng and was about to mengilai in no time, maka aku pun turun kan lah der and let her walk. After all , dh nak time bayar pun so after paid all my goods, we headed home. Xde big problem lagi since from mall to car park, boley pakai trolley kan... No big deal...

Dh smpai rumah yang jadik masalah. I had 2 kids that still need my thorough supervision and 15 plastic bags that need to be carried. My house was at 1st floor and we had to use main gate that connected to the lift in order to get in. U seeeee, the emergency staircase door which happened to be located just next to my house was locked from inside so accessible only for exit purpose, no entry unless someone from inside opened it for u. Since we had no one to open for us, we had to use another entrance that was quite far from my house as my house was a corner unit. Kire anggaran de, niat nak pergi KLCC, instead of amik MEX and tau tau dh sampai, we had to turun Rawang dulu, naik Sg Buloh and br sampai KLCC. Gitu laa lebey kurang scenario nyer...

So trick de (I am indeed master of all trick kan, skit skit trick, skit skit trick, macam terer terer jek wakakkak)....carry all so-called light stuff 1st and freezer stuff mcm ice cream, nugget, chic ball, ikan, ayam and ect... Incase ko dh putus nafas bile smpi atas karang, kene rehat dulu minum air bagai, xde la membusuk kete ngn bau ayam ikan and x de la cair ice cream anak-anak kite ..... Kite pasti tidak mahu perkara sedemikian berlaku kan.....

~ kite bawak roti, buah, sayur dulu... hebat kan makcik? pakai 3 inci heels lagi! ~

So bile dh sampai rumah, aku bukak kan VCD kartun utk Alis and Erin, bancuhkan susu Erin and strawberry milk for Alis, setkan tempat baring baeekkk punye, bukak aircond sambil berpesan, Mummy nak angkat barang lagi tau, baring sini tgk kartun, jgn pegi mana mana, kakak tgk kan adik, jgn bukak pintu, ade antu Cheese kat luar (wahahahah x lupe unsur ugutan tuh, Alis dh pandai unlock pintu, so kena ugut skit skit demi keselamatan bersama). Oh by the way, Antu cheese ni ade lah mascot Pizza Hut, cheese slice yg besar tu. Somehow Alis dgn Erin takut giler leyyyy? x paham kenapa, aku nampak tempting rasa nk gigit ade la...hahhaha

~ mempersembahkan....antu cheese yang di geruni oleh alis dan erin, X paham kan? nampak girang jek menatang ni pun ade yang takut~

So in total I had to make another 2 trips baru clear semua barang. Paling merengkek nak angkat ialah dynamo, softlan, minyak masak and the geng. Nk putus segala urat yg ade dlm badan rasa huuhhu. Sib baik x beli beras...kalo tak confirm aku tinggal jek esok esok angkat hahahah...tau tau dh kluar pokok padi...

So that's how my weekend's ended. Hell tiring but full of lesson to learned. One of it was, lenkali dh anak takde tu, shopping sepatutnyer KIV last last day, beli barang dapur dulu yang penting wakakakak...

Dah abes ke cerita? Uishhhhhh lom lagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....kata dh disclaimer this is a very long story kannn ..

Since we had our lunch at Chic Rice Shop, i had some curry chicken leftover x abes makan...nak kata leftover pun xboley sebab banyak tak bermakan dr makan. Entah naper x selera lak , mungkin sebab makan Chic Rice shop je tingat En Muddy. Fav dining place dierrr...cheh cheh chehhhh...tactic nk cover citer shopping sblm ni cakap je la kan...hahaha tp betul la mmg banyak x abes, so I asked for take away instead.

Balik rumah, xde mood nk makan nasik so I made roti jala . I had to topup kuah kari CRS tadi coz curry de sangat thick, so cooked curry campur kentang then campurkan leftover lunch tadi. Resipi roti jala of course hasil ehsan Chef Rosiah.

~ nota kaki utk adik aku : roti jala yang gorgeous okayyy bukan roti titik !!~

~jakun ni macam macam angle amik wakakak~

~ lihat tgn pelanggan yg dh tadah baca doa nk makan tetapi di "haipp" oleh mummy sbb nk amik gamba luh~

Hasil nya... all I can say, am very very very happy coz i had 2 very satisfied customer... Alis siap skype papa der neh sambil cakap roti jala Mummy yummyyyy!!! sambil gosok gosok perut bentuk bulatan mengikut arah jam... Alaaaa , cam body language nk cakap sesuatu itu sedap...kekekkeke... walaupun my sis ckp rupa de more like roti titik than roti jala, tapi rasa de sangat lemak dan berkrim uhuhuhu.. biasa la kalau dh ujung2 adunan tu de dh jadik menitik2 kannnn...

Cerita disudahi dengan gambaran image aku di penghujung hari

~ walauuuu exhausted separuh mati, paruh tetap menten tiptick merah mak ngah sambil tangan x lepas mug cocoa collagen br lepas skype ngn suami~

Ok sekian...Wsalam....

laporan berita dan ramalan cuaca secara langsung dari Kuwait

9:06 PM

Till to date, it's been 24 days he's away..

So far, we've been communicating via skype, YM or SMSes. It's not cheap to call though as they charged RM 12 ringgit per min. Syukur ade nye technology... If u must know, i think we communicate more now if compared to when he was in the country. Masa En Muddy kat Pontian, the most is 3G...xde lak terfikir nk skype bagai ..so kirenye we "met" each other more when he was apart by 7hrs air travel rather than when he's only 4 hrs land trip away :)

- baru 2 minggu pergi Kuwait ni, tiba tiba En Muddy dh ade awek jepun sob sob sob-

Life updates... hmmm apart of having itchy here and there due to changed of weather climate, he's doing just fine. Cukup makan, cukup pakai, cukup tidor, cukup duit.... nafkah batin je tak cukup.. Wahahahahahaha..... *wink wink wink *

During our YM chat few days back, he mentioned that currently Kuwait's having massive sand storm season. 100 m limited eye vision or less... Sand dust is everywhere...everytime... and so far things get worst and worst. Normal to Kuwaiti, but new things for us. As weird as it may sound, i'm actually looking forward for my 1st sand storm experience.. It is nice to feel new environment..Things we dun used to.. Things we dun get familiar by.. Wait till i had to vacuum all those dust hahahahah....Do ask me again ehh when the time comes, still looking forward ke looking backward heheh

- view from his apartment-

- it was worst day after this pic was taken-

As I type this post, i am hubby-less and kid-less :(

Hubby was taken by some Bureaucracy for some secret mission shhhhhhhh !!! while kids was taken by my baby sitter to Batu Pahat for cuti cuti Malaysia as i had to work today and tomorrow... Makcik busy neh banyak lg simen nk kena bancuh, batu bata nk kene buat.. maklumla gini la kehidupan seharian buruh kasar...

So I guess my weekend will be fill with cinema-ing and shopping without them... errrrrrrrr i mean thinking and missing them...

-princess mencemar duli, turun makan kat restoren kebanyakan dgn mummy,papa dan adik yang merupakan rakyat kebanyakan heheheh-

- alis: saya rasa gamba ni tak cukup meriah sebab adik saya takder, tu sebab saya tambah prop menu yg besar sejadah ituuuuuu, buat tambah semak !! -

Have a blast holiday peoples.... Daaaaaaaa

Apa ade pada nama...

5:37 PM

"One day an Indian boy asked his father why they have such long names?

The dad answers, "Well, son, it's tradition when an Indian baby is born for the father to go outside and name the baby after the first thing he sees ...

Why do you ask Two Dogs Fucking?"

hahahhahahhaahahhahahhahahha Kite semua pasti x nak perkara di atas berlaku pada kite kannnn.... So nama adelah sangat penting dalam kehidupan.. I can named a few reason why name was important in your life based on my experience :

Firstly of course, kerana makna nyer...Kite pasti x nak beratur nombor last skali kat akhirat nanti tunggu nama x kena panggil panggil.. Sedangkan beratur ujung ujung masa amik makan kat Teres Teratai pun sure ko dpt ekor ikan jek, xpun nasik berlauk anak kucing (hahahahhaaa ni budak MRSM TDK je paham ), ini kan pulak beratur utk di hitung nanti...mesti kite nk di panggil dulu kan...

- fuhhhh..sib baik bawak kusi, patut bawak toto bantal sekali....-

During school, college or uni time...nama yang x terlalu menonjol atau terlalu unik adelah digalakkan for the sake of tidak kan menjadik perhatian cikgu, lacturer, tutor....kalau tak, setiap kali masuk kelas , berdoalah agar lacturer tu kene short term memory syndrom dan lupe nama anda sepanjang kelas. Bayang kan kalau satu kelas ade Nor Azura, Nor Azira, Nor Azra, Nor Azri, Siti Azura....tiba tiba ade sorang nama Che Mawar Berduri, x ker cikgu ingt yang tu jer kan?

Zaman primary and secondary adelah tempoh yg otak kanak2 bekerja dengan kreatif nye secara optimum... Maka , jika anda mempunyai nama yg unik, secara otomatik nye anda telah memberi bahan modal kepada mereka2 yg terlebih kreatif... Xcaya? Cuba letak nama anak korang Mohd Kelembai ke.... Nor Sarang Semut ke.... names calling are a parts of school life it's like a package.. Fun for the fun maker and suck to those whose names where victimised... U just have to bear with it dan belajar rajin2 serta berdoa biar makbul doa jadik doc, kot nnti org yg wat lawak ngn nama ko dtg klinik ko... baru bertemu buku dgn ruas. X pasal pasal de ngadu sakit kepala alih alih kene inject tang vontot, tang lengan, tang jari...tang pipi...

As proven before, I am very particular about my kids name.. Me myself in another hands, sampai sekarang x tau kenapa my mum chosed to named me my name. One thing for sure, zaman tu x kluar lagi Filem Azura... Ke filem Azura tu inspired dari nama aku kot..wakakaak tinggi ni angan2...

If my memories served me correctly, I was called or bahasakan diri sendiri as Zura, Zuera ( ni nama gedik), Wawa, Wa, Ura(mostly by my Singaporean relatives), Zu & Angah.... Mostly, before secondary 1, i will addressed myself as Wa or Wawa till one incident happened during my very 1st week at MRSM. This is between me and my very good buddy Mr Johoe. I dun know if he ever remembered this, but i did coz this conversation was the starting point I used Zura if being asked what to call by strangers.

Johoe : Hi ... Awak dari mana ?

Me : Wa dari Lumut....

Johoe : Owhh lu dr Lumut ek..budak SKP TLDM ekk..?

Me : ????? .. ohhh sorry, saya dh biasa bahasakn diri saya Wa, bukan saya ckp lu gua...

Johoe : kakakakakka kakakkaka...sorry sorry

Cheh masa ni kata br suaikenal...sorry la kan....sopan santun budaya kite... Skarang, after 11 years friendship...dah x de sorry- sorry, dah ganti ngan siottt....wakakakak ....

Actually, my main intention was to story about how i named this blog :)... melalut menyimpang berjela jela lak jadik nyer.... So why i named w4w4d33 ?

Well, w4w4 as in wawa of course my name.. I changed the consonant A tu numeric 4 just to avoid similarity as there's few bloggers named their blog as wawa also and 4 was the most suitable number to replace A. Kang letak w9w9 dh jadik nama orang lain pulak. Dh macam bunyik winewine lak kannn, trus kena samak lak blog ni kang hahahaha. Or w1w1, jadik wanwan... wan who????

Same goes to D33 as in dee , my other half la definitely.. U dun have to be rocket scientist to know this (applied to those who knows me personally). Again the consonant changed to numeric kerana gedikness.. After this name was registered only i noticed one familiar thing.. 4 4 was also Alis's birthday and 3 3 was Erin's birthday...sweet coincidence huhh....So gitu la bermula sejarah w4w4d33 ni.

At first when I decided to have a blog of my own, i just have no idea what concept, theme or name shall i put. I envy those blogger who can come out with unique, creative and one of a kind blog names but hey!!!!!! that's theirs.

I am just a simple plain lady hence this is what this blog was all about. Senang nk ingt pun yer... nak baca blog wawa ngn dee, bukak la wawadee...kan kan kan...

Ok, tu jek nk cite... hahahahah

Cite cute

1:14 AM

macam macam cerita ceriti...

6:22 PM

Bile donia dh terbalik

5:21 PM

u can predict weather but nvr can predict kid's mind

6:49 PM

Tiada rotan, galah pun berguna

10:15 PM

First thing first.... En Muddy, awak jgn risau ek.. tajuk di atas xde kene mengena ngn kesah saya pelangkung anak awk ngn rotan atau pun galah...walau ade kala, mmg terasa2 nk gi carik galah hahahhaah...

this post was all bout my life during weekends.... owhh ade org tanye pesal kejap aku speaking london sekejap ckp melayu... jawapan de, nk wat camne dh i ni mix blood, 1/2 melayu 1/2 omputeh dan ade skit skit kait bollywood..

hahahah xde xde...jawapan yg kurang elemen perasan.com adelah x de reason.. Saje je ikut mood and I did believed in practise makes perfect.. kalau x rajin ckp omputeh, x rajin baca bahanvomputeh, x rajin dgr lagu omputeh, x rajin menulis omputeh...tiba tiba akan jadik pandai omputehkah???? tepuk dada sdiri then tanye la diri sdiri sakit ke tak occayyy !!

Sambung balik.. Suatu ketika dulu, way before cite Q8 came into picture, ade la En Muddy ni dpt offer gi Qatar..Dh berjaya interview, dh dpt confirmation terpilih, tinggal tunggu offer letter jek..so sebagai isteri yg advance, aku pun start la blog hopping to blog2 malaysian living in Qtar. Niat sebenar adelah nk dpt gambaran lifestyle dan cabaran idop kat Qtar ni.. Niat sebenar lagi satu lak, nk kumpul info tpt shopping ,wakakak senang nk wat jadual kang..So among all those great blogs i had read, this 1 blog lolliesplace caught my attention the most. Not to say, yg lain x intriguing ke ape, it just i like the simplicity and lolliesplace's way of putting something or some stories into words. So dlm byk byk cerita, there's 1 post pasal challenges idop sebagai domestic goddess di tpt yg x sume brg kite ley dapat... contoh belacan, cik budu , cencaluk daun-daunan and few basic things yg kat mesia ni kalau aku beli mmg niat semata buat perhiasan peti ais, kesudah nye tak guna pun..hehehe. So to tackle this, she replaced it with some other stuff than can give the same effect to the food which i think brilliant.

Aku ni jenis yg sume nk kene ader kalau nk masak ( another alasan lapuk nk mkn luar) which is susah sebab rumah aku or to be exact, fridge aku memang sentiasa x cukup barang hahahha... Dulu masa En Muddy ader, de la my ultimate favourite handsome prey .. kene kerah beli kicap la, halia la, sos tomato la walau pun br 5 min sebenar nye br balik dr Hero beli brg..punyerla serius perangai suke x cukup barang aku ni...

Well, nk kata ni 1st time En Muddy away, xley jugak sebab dr aku kawen mmg de dh kerja shift, so mmg slalu kene tinggal.. then de pindah Johor, lg la kena tinggal..Beza nye cuma masa kat pontian, he'll be bck every 4 days so aku tunggu de blk la then beli brg.. masa kat Lumut pulak, every weekends so masa de ade la aku beli sumer brg x cukup. Nowhe's at Kuwait.. so far x balik balik lg la.. haha so I've no choice but to survive on whatever i can find in my fridge kalau aku lupe beli...jadik secara otomatik, lolliesplace idea of main trial-eror ni terdetik di fikiran ku.. Biggest problem now is she was gifted with a very good deria rasa and ability to memorize each taste which putting into combination, mmg elemen utama dlm kes nk main masak masak ni.....and I dont hv that ability ..so kite hentam je la..hahah

Eperiment pertama :

Saturday morning.. I wanted to cook spiral spaghetti with sardine chunk.. Dh siap rebus spiral spaghetti, dh tumis bawang, garlic..tiba tiba baru perasan limau kasturi dh abes guna utk basuh ayam smalam mlm leyyyy?? the only similar to lime-ish thing that i could find in my fridge adelah limau sunkist dgn limau mandarin...wakkkaa kata musim CNY kannnn... maka dgn lafaz bismillah, aku perah limau mandarin ngn limau sunkist dlm gravy sardine aku...hasil nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

2 pelanggan warung makcik puas hati u' all.. makcik pun tersenyum sambil berckp yesss !!! harharhar

~ testi dr 2 pelanggan : Terbaik wokkkk !!! haa x tipu ek, tu mulut alis sebut wok harharhar~

Experiment kedua :

Niat nk masak mee asam pedas or some people called mee bandung for lunch and mcm biasa, bile dh siap sume sume, check2 sos tomato tinggal suku sudu teh.. maka terpaku sebentar dan start mengorek peti ais mencarik sos McD yg selalu nye berlambak dlm peti aku hahah...tetapi harapan ku hampa sebab ade sos cili sahajer...makaaaa... aku replace kan dgn sedikit tomato puree dan asam keping sebesar kuku.. hmmmm dgn lafaz bismillah dan kali ni tmbah dengan selawat, aku pun merasa....ehh not badddd at all la...hasilnyerrrrr......

2 pelanggan saya bertambah 2 kali walau ade satu feedback mengatakan pedas skit...x per, x per... tu kes terpencil.... yg penting laku makcik meniaga !!

~ asam pedas modified bling bling makcik ~

Experiment ketiga :

There's one time aku nk masak kangkung belacan tapi belacan takde. So aku tumbuk2 la konon2 udang kering ganti belacan..hasilnye walau dh x ley panggil kangkung belacan lagi, rasa de adelah seakan akan kangkung belacan ...lg pun udang kering ngn belacan kan ibarat nenek ngn cucu...udang kering adelah nenek sbb kecut kan wahahahahaha, belacan lak cucu sbb belacan kan terhasil dr udang yg dh kene proses dan diperam..logik la sbb nenek kuarkan anak, anak kawen dan hasil proses tu terkuar cucu...wakakkaka logik tak? logik lah pd pikiran aku..

Experiment keempat :

Ade lg satu kali tu aku nk goreng meehuun utk breakfast... tetapi meehuun dh abes lak... so aku pun berfikir, ape bahan nk ganti kan meehuun ek? suuhun ker? mee ker.... jawapan nyer adelahhh...................................................

Papa, meehun xdelah, kite bekfest roti canai kat mamak sudahhhhh !!!!

hahahaha kreatif sgt la aku kan smpi ade idea nk replacekan meehuun..xde makna nyer..

So sekian la cerita masak masak aku yg x berapa best... Harap2 dapat menjadik panduan pada pemasak pemasak tegar yang mempunyai masalah x cukup bahan cam aku...

P/S : Mlm ni ade rasa nk masak kobis masak lemak putih ngn sambal ikan bilis...stakat ni aku check bahan sume ader :)....aper la masalah wimax ni x ley nk upload gamba...
