The heart of the house

Gitu gini masuk tahun ketiga dah since the day letak deposit kat umah spk. Sept ke oct 2012. Dapat kunci masa puasa 2013. Start reno extent kitchen n upstair from jan 2014-oct2014. Adalah repair gitu gini, bumbung bocor, gutter tak pasang etc, mac baru ni i setelkan. 

Kagum dgn tahap kesabaran diri sendiri hahaha. Gilalah dealing dgn all these people. Ulang alik spk puchong 2 kali sehari sbb nak bukak n kunci balik pintu. Nasib tak flat tengah jalan. Zafri paling kesian, membesar dlm kereta, makan dlm kereta, nap dalam kereta, tantrum dlm kereta, nenen pun penah masa mama tgh drive (bad mommy). 

The only space that we have, approx 14'x18'. No dry or wet kitchen. It will be combine into a single kitchen. I ok je. Yg kena kemas, sental kang i jugak kan. Satu cukuplah. Yg penting enough storage space. I tak tahan semua benda atas worktop. Makin lama barang makin banyak. Note to self, stop buying (ye lah tu). 

Looking at hundreds of photos on insta n houzz and choose the above as guide to how i want my kitchen to look like, senang nak tunjuk kat kedai. Tapi tak dapatlah that marble like quartz stone. Darn expensive! Kita setel dgn ivory cap ayam quartz stone. But i get few samples and run my own destructive test, n chemical test on it. Some fail, some prevail. Oklah, sedap jugak hati walopon tak dpt original ceaserstone. 

Went to all available kitchen cabinet maker in puchong and also went to Bofi and Verra. The last one i visited was intech kitchen in kajang. Jauh giler.  Atas ni one of the set kat intech showroom. Actually i like Bofi the most.  Maybe showroom yg sangat classy and elegant so tu yg jatuh hati. Tapi harga sangat mahal utk standard rakyat makan gaji bulan bulan, in my case, housewife yg kena dpt kelulusan bajet dr laki. They quoted me more than 60k. Pitams.

Verra quoted less than Bofi but still way out of budget, around 40k.

Intech quoted slightly more than other cabinet specialist in puchong, emmm about the same as sci kitchen. However intech has the material that i want. So we agreed on intech.

The final design. Nothing glamorous haha. Jauh sekali dari standard showroom kat Bofi. But i planned everything. Harap takde tertinggal apa2 yg penting. Hmmm. Eh belum beli filter tap n filter sinki je....gggrrrrrr.

Thirty Nine

Sikittt je lagi nak masuk 4 series.....fuh fuh fuh. Dah tuekkkk. Apa pun alhamdulillah masih dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki, dan masih berpeluang utk memperbaiki diri. 

This is me in the not so morning light at 39yrs old. Buat reference in future :D. Nanti senang nak compare pertambahan saiz dan jenama eyebag, dan jugak pertambahan kedut-kedutan di sekitar wajah. Uban toksah citer.......tunggu masa je ni nak pi kaler.

Cekpen belanja birthday lunch kat secret recipe. Masing2 order adult size, so i said, kalau boleh habis makan semua baru boleh makan kek. Mina n sarah tak boleh nak habis. Order sup pastu amik meal portion yg besar2, mama ayah pun tak mampu nak tolong makankan.

Malam baru ada acara tiup lilin. Beli half kg blackforest kat berry's. Lilin dapat 4 batang, tsk ...melampau sindiran itu. Kita letak tiga cukup. Kek belum habis lg sampai arini heh.

Semoga bertemu lg tahun depan. Entering 4 series with a bang-not. 

Kucing mengawan

Telah dimandulkan minggu lepas kerana merenyam melampau-lampau. Dikhuatiri menconteng arang di muka mama n ayah.

Dia punya bising pitching tinggi tak tau nak compare dgn apa. 2 hari 2 malam tak berenti. Hari ketiga check-in kan kat pets hotel, sebelum mama ayah kena maki dengan jiran, sbb tidur tak lena. 7 hari duk hotel baru slow down, pet shop terus tolong hantar ke vet. Harap no more meroyan merenyam melampau on her next mating season.

Snip snip

Kadang-kadang tersangkut.

Kadang-kadang hidup rasa mcm lemon, tak manis.

Kadang-kadang curiosity kill the cat.

Kadang kadang the best thing is living the moment.

Kadang-kadang terasa kena mandrem dengan roti canai.

Kadang-kadang mama dapat serangan jantung.
