My Bali trip is in 2/12 weeks time and although my lack of proper diet is killing my chance of wearing something like this but I still say Monokinis are hawt!! And if I were still 48kgs like I was a year ago, I’d so wear it.

Absolutely love this one by Kimora Lee. A loyal Baby Phat fan I am.

I suddenly have the urge and discpline to shed some weight off. I’ve been on a diet since Monday – strictly vegetarian. So far so good although my hubby enjoys shoving pieces of chicken in front of my face to tempt me. I hope I can keep up my diet until the trip, so maybe, just maybeee I’ll be able to fit into one of these. A girl can always hope, no?

Am looking forward to a day of relaxation tomorrow.

Stay away from KL/Kotaraya and the malls coz all the banglas,indons and the millions of foreign workers will be out to play. That said, HAPPY LABOUR DAY folks!

I’m getting a new do on Saturday. I think. I hope I don’t chicken out. I’ve had the same hairstyle for the longest time ever – straight-long hair in one length. Every time I get the temptation to layer it or give it a fringe, or try to do something different, I would either:

1)think I’d end up looking like this and chicken out; or
2)the hair stylist would actually talk me out of it!

I don’t know if they honestly think the current do is the best for me or they’re just plain lazy to give me a new cut.

I’ve narrowed down my new hair do to these:

Penelope cruz in MNG ad

Nicole Scherzinger.

I love how she looks; she’s absolutely gorgeous (post surgeries that is). She definitely carries fringes well and her hair is always gorgeous.

I have some faith in my new hair stylist that I recently discovered. He’s SO passionate and full of detail when he cuts.

Wish me luck that I don’t end up looking like a tranny y’all!

STY EYE!!

Yup, my poor baby has a bad case of sty eye on his rightie eye. I swear I didn’t punch him *although it may look like it*

It’s been a few days already but it got REALLY bad yesterday. He could hardly open his eyes. I called in for emergency leave so I could take him to the clinic and take care of him

Just looking at him makes my eye hurt. Ouch. Hope it goes away soon.

Since I was on leave, I managed to whip up a decent breakfast for the both of us.

French Toast – yummy yummy

My weekend starts tonight!

We’re headed back to Ipoh and then to Penang for some errands and clubbing so Penang folks….look out for us. It’s been ages since I last went to Penang. Wonder if it’s true that DVDs are only RM4 there? Hah, guess I’ll soon find out.

Have a splendid weekend folks.

The Mrs Blogs, OUT!

This is what my hubby would do every weekend and in his spare time if he were still a singleton.

Boring right?

He dragged me to check out the new Mazda 6 on Saturday and we managed to take it for a spin. The salesman was a bit apprehensive at first because the car will only be launched next month therefore not allowed to be on the road for now. But guess he thought we were serious buyers coz he let my hubby test drive it.

You can read all about it here for his review on the car

I think I’m in love with the black Mazda X5, it’s sporty, it’s gorgeous, and I look friggin’ super cute in it damnit, lol.

*had to sneak and quickly snap this picture*

But getting in and out of the car is a pain. If you have a jelly belly, massive DD cups or worse still, preggers *gasp* then don’t even dream of driving this car. The steering wheel is way too close to your chest/abdomen area. This chick/male/she-male magnet retails at RM200k. Don’t you think this will be an ideal 1st year anniversary gift? LOL.

No, seriously….

My husband is planning on getting the Mazda 6 when we’re in OZ. It’s only AUD40k he said. I’m going to tryyy to convince him to get the Mazda Mieta coz I can already imagine myself cruising in this 2-seater baby with my Westie in tow.

Been learning how to cook quite a bit.

My first timers:

Friday Dinner

Chicken pasta – sorry babes can’t share the recipe coz its my mom’s very yummy recipe, which I intend to keep as a family secret This turned out 95% like hers and was absolutely freakingly delicious. The remaining 5% will come with practice. Hubby was VERY impressed.

Saturday Dinner

Chicken sausage and cheese pasta.

Pasta night soon, anyone?

Sunday Lunch

Tried to make some Saffron Rice with Indian masala prawns. The sauce came out good BUT the prawns were not cooked despite frying it on high heat for like 15 minutes. I called my mom (yes, moms are awesome and handy aren’t they?) and she said the prawns we bought might be bad. Had to throw everything out

TMC I’m boycotting you from now on when it comes to buying prawns or any other seafood.

Rule of buying Seafood: NEVER take the last tray of prawns displayed! I learnt it the hard way.

Since I figured the sauce was awesome, I substituted it with chicken the next day.

Masala Chicken:

It turned out good. Hubby rated it 8.5 out of 10.

I always make him rate my cooking so that I know if there’s any room for improvement. So for the sake of better food, I sure hope he rates it properly!

There! Mission accomplished. I finally made an Indian dish. Now some people can get off my case about not cooking Indian dishes.

One thing I noticed about stupid cook books is that, the measurements they give are hardly right! It’s as though they’re afraid you’ll be better cooks than them? You ALWAYS have to add in more, so 1 teaspoon usually means 2 and so on.

For the recipe:

Chicken breasts for two, chopped into bite size
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 large onion, chopped
1 small clove garlic, chopped
3 tablespoon garlic and ginger paste
1 tablespoon squeezed lemon juice
1 tomato, chopped
1 ½ teaspoon saffron powder
2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon nutmeg powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grounded black pepper
salt to taste

1)Put 3 tablespoon of oil and fry the cumin seeds until aromatic
2)Fry the onions and 1 clove chopped garlic for 5 minutes or until golden brown
3)Then add in chicken and fry until slightly cooked
4)Add in the tomatoes, garlic and ginger paste followed by all the other ingredients and keep frying until chicken is cooked
5)If taste is not up to par, adjust by adding in more saffron or chili powder followed by salt.

And you’re done! Try it.

If there ever were a manual to a wife’s bill of rights, how would yours read?

Disclaimer: These rights are in no way related or directed to my husband and is just purely written for fun

Right to dislike your friends

I’ll hate whichever friend of yours I deem is a bad influence or has the ability to influence your behavior. Any friend who comes close to suggesting let’s ditch-the- wife-and-have-a-guy’s-night-out is banned from my books. We all know a guys night out involves lots of booze, ogling women with large breasts or challenging each other to do something silly.

Right to girly products

Quit complaining that I have too many hair products or perfumes. You should be happy that I like to smell good for you.

Right to shop and not reveal it’s price tag

So long I don’t use your credit card to splurge, what I buy is my business. You may look, touch, and compliment how good it looks on me but I don’t need you to remind me how I have one too many or even ask how much I spent on it and I won’t complain about your stupid splurge on your car and gadgets.

Right to be wine and dined occasionally

I demand to be fussed over once in a while. You were good at it back when we were dating, and you will bloody well be good at it post marriage. If you want to throw in a free massage too, you’ll be forever loved.

Right to not cook like your mother

I don’t compare your earning capacity to your dads so don’t compare my cooking to your mom’s coz I don’t have her 20 years experience. So long I’m learning how to cook I demand some credit and appreciation.

Right to have fun

I demand we go out and have as much fun whenever possible with our friends before the arrival of your offsprings.

Right not to behold certain sounds and smells

We all burp, we all fart but I don’t need to hear and smell it. If you can watch your burp and control your fart back when we dated, keep it in when I’m in sight.

Right to be told the truth

Just as I’d tell you if that tight shirt makes you look like you have a cup B, I demand you tell me if I’ve put on weight or if that dress makes me look fat. I swear I won’t bite your head off.

I’ll ask hubby tonight what rights he thinks he should have as a married man
