Curtains Call

I waited for 55 minutes but as we know Malaysians are never on time. It took them another 1 hour to finish. I was so lucky that they are willing to give me a lift to the station.

I went to Parkson and Isetan but could not find any ready made curtains. I decided to try Kamdar because it is nearer to Sogo where I know I've seen beautiful curtains there before. Unfortunately none seems to my interest in Kamdar. The lady at Sogo was so helpful and gave me a tutorial on finding a suitable curtain for sliding doors.

The fare to mother's house was $2.50 instead of $1.90 probably because I boarded the bus at another stop. I waited for 50 minutes to get home and was so sad, so hot and so stress ! I miss CI very very much.

So finally these are the curtains for sliding door 1 and sliding door 2 :

More Work

Today I went to see the curtain & interior designer to get the quotation and booked the installation date. I really hope I can get all the curtains ready by this week so that I do not have to couch on other people's home. Same as before I have to walk all the way up to PV because there are no buses that pass along JMU. The pregnant lady was very nice and offered to drive me to PV and have the measurement straight away. And she even offered to send me all the way down to the station.

I was a bit down before (extremely down indeed) but now I am satisfied with my "performance" hehehe. I managed to get the curtain thingy half way done. Probably will get the fabrics on weekends and have to find a stool so that I can put the curtains up. In addition I am thinking about getting the bathrooms lights installed. In order to make PV livable I need to have iron, iron board and clothes dryer.

If only I can go back and get my things to PV on weekends, I will be very happy. It is going to be easier since I do not have to go to KL and wandering around town doing nothing. I can sleep, eat, surf the internet and do whatever I like in the house.

I know that the process of getting a house ready for living consume a lot of time, energy and effort. I have to have the highest level of patience and shut my mouth up. I know it is not easy since I do not have the money.

What Happens At The Start of 2011

Well after 5 months of setting my feet on Malaysia's soil husband started his new partnership. Now that the Fiesta has finally arrived it has been an enjoyable time to spend with, said husband. A new house SPA has been signed plus financing accepted and the place is his at last. The only thing that matters now is PV.

It has been ages searching for the right contractor and the cabinets are finally installed. The Eglantine has arrived and looking very good. Still not everything is intact and the main thing to settle next week are the curtains. After a long public holiday break I hope to get the curtains ready so that I can move in.

Apart from that the final payment to the contractor will have to be made soonest possible. Next thing in mind are the clothes hangers, tv, furnitures and ACs. Probably we can get them ready by Saturday as I cannot wait any longer to have my own space to chill.

However it is difficult to get myself to PV as there are no buses passing along the road from the station. I have to walk for 10 to 15 minutes (maybe more!) to reach PV plus develop goose bumps all the way. More often than not I feel unsafe to walk by myself as I had the experience of snatch thief before. As a result I sent an email to RapidKL to suggest for route extension from the station to PV.

Talking about bad public transportation in KL we were pissed off with one of the Old Town White Coffee outlets' service this morning. Husband had to cancel his order because it took them forever to serve the food. Although the outlet was equipped with so called intelligent ordering system the family who came later than us had their food first!

Gala - Animal Crossing

Finally Gala came and she is officially one of my townies. I hope Gala will stay in Gombak forever and ever. I will take care of you Gala ! I will try my best to visit you everyday and fulfill your wish whatever that may be. Here are some pictures of Gala in Gombak.

December 2010

My husband's niece got engaged yesterday, 23 Dec 2010. That was the first time I visited his sister's house and met his nieces.

Today is my mother's 61st birthday and the Fiesta finally arrived at the dealer's shop this morning. If I were my husband I would've cancelled the booking months ago. Lucky for the dealer that I am not the one buying.

Opah was admitted to Pantai Hospital for 3 days last week. All her children were there to visit. Mother and sister were both busy gossiping that I never intended to hear. We went back after a horrible experience to cash in the travellers' cheques. Maybank was ok but different branch has different cash limit. CIMB was the worst as the stupid teller quoted the wrong rate and it ended with the officer in charge finally waived the commission charges. On the way back to KL my husband bought a new house and a new handbag for me.

THE WORST RAYA EVER. RAYA WILL NEVER BE FUN AGAIN FOREVER. I HATE MALAYSIA

7th Anniversary

1st September 2010 marks the 7th anniversary of my wedding to Mr Hubby. Since we are still in Ramadan month we had nothing special to eat like the usual yearly celebration. In fact I was scolded when crossing the road. That is why I still hate Malaysia (after nearly 2 months).

I was wondering whether there exist a husband who can do laundry from start to finish. From gather the clothes in a laundry bag, load the washer with clothes and detergent, run the washer, unload the washed clothes, hang them to dry in the sun, collect them from the rail, fold the clothes nicely and finally put them in the wardrobe. Same goes to cooking; starting from the ingredients, serve in the plates and clean the pots and pans. Probably it will going to take some time before a husband can get used to doing house chores if his wife died. No wonder most men married another women because they can't survive life without someone to take care of the house (I mean to cook and clean).

During Ramadan women especially married women are busy preparing dishes for berbuka and sahur. At 5 p.m. they will be in the kitchen trying to cook something extraordinary nice which are not usually cook in other months. Usually wives will wake the family for sahur with the dishes already on the table. Married women like to please their husbands and children. They don't consider it a burden so long as they can make their families happy.

I am not complaining because I already expected all these. I am not at my own house anyway. I am not doing the cooking too. I still remember Ramadan at my own place in Malaysia, UK and UAE.
