its 7am and i am still not asleep. i had to make ketupats cos it needs to be cooked this morning. well ketupat is done once a year everytime its hari raya (eid). but i didnt do it last year cos my dad finished everything up by himself. so it means the last time i did ketupat was two years ago. little did i know i still have the skill in me. lol.i challenged myself and made every ketupat in lesser than 2 minutes. i was shocked myself. haha.
oh and, i also did some chocolate chip cookies. i've found the recipe online and i followed it exactly. I KNEW IT. the recipe looks a bit wrong. they had too little flour! so, have you seen chocolate chip cookies that looks like pizza? LOL. look at the picture below! well luckily my mom saved the day. she made some amendments and well its really cookie now.
its last day of ramadhan.. how sad.. really.. it was a great ramadhan.. i feel like crying now.. oh well. i need to sleep. ciao.

early in the morning today i accompanied my mom to the newly opened sheng siong at Khatib! well maybe not so new cos it was opened last weekend but it was my first time to shop there. it felt like i was in another neighborhood!seafood fresh or what? the prawns were jumping about and they sell fishes in the tank! oh-my-god. i dont think i'll ever bother to buy such fresh seafood. i cant bear to kill it!
other than that.. sorry to say but i thought it was ummmm let me not say dis in english. it was 'menggelikan nak mampos'. lol. i was looking at some shampoos while waiting for my mom. i turned my head and right beside me was kaki BABI. ohgod. it was everywhere! pigs kidney pigs sweet intestines pigs pigs pigs pork pork pork. unlike other supermarkets, they didnt really put it at one side of the market. so i had to pass all this things that i didnt wanna see. and jalan depan sikit you'll find some skinned kataks. whoaw.. what an experience..!
damn i miss ABC supermarket with all their good random $1 stuff. i bet all Khatibeans do too. :( i hate you ABC for leaving us.. lol
it hasn't been a fruitful week. didn't do much apart from cleaning the house and baked some kuehs. i actually wanted to try sewing my own curtain for my bedroom but i guess im just too lazy for it. so most probably i'll be stuck with this one cos i cant seem to find any other matching curtain available in this house. buying one? tried searching at ikea and geylang but none was attractive. oh yes im cerewet. lol.
well, we got some help to clean the house! and oh boy, he's effecient!

my face is soaking wet cos my tears just cant stop rolling down my cheeks. not because im sad or anything but because im so touched!not because someone did something for me, its just because of a tv show. HAHAHHA. ok fine i know.
its this tv show called 'thats how i propose' if im not wrong. ohmygod. its a friggin romantic reality show where the guy figures out ways to a perfect proposal.
and in this episode, its about this guy who searched high and low so that he could propose at a location where the 'HOLLYWOOD' sign can be seen. (thats the girl's dream proposal) omg. he went through a lot just for that.
and i so cried when he finally opened up the curtain which was covering the sign scenery, went on his knees, took out the ring and popped the question. "Marlo, you're so beautiful.. and I love you.. Will you marry me..?" and he was trembling and tearing when he asked that. AAAH. OMG OMG. HAHAHAHAH. OK I SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS.
oh god.. okay. since im feeling all lovey dovey today, lets talk about the thing called 'Love'.
i've lived for 20 years and without a doubt.. i know how it feels like to love and be loved. i am showered with love by my family and my friends. WOW I SO LOVE THEM BACK. EEE. no words can describe how much i love the people around me. and all thanks to Him.
other than that, falling in 'love' is another thing. i cant deny the fact that i fell in love before.. it was beautiful and ugly at the same time. it made me realize how far i can make myself go to express the love that i have for that someone. i did all sorts of things just to keep the relationship strong. including jeopardizing my ties with my family and friends, letting myself be in such a horrible state of depression, being abused, emotionally and physically. yes, this same love got me blinded.. and my naive self just made me really stupid. i thought having a partner would complete me. complete the almost perfect life that i had. but i was wrong. i cried almost everyday. and i remember having this thought, "i wonder when was the last time i really laughed?" and "when was the last time i didnt cry in a day?" then i figured out my own answer. "it was almost 2 years ago." thats when it hit me. im suppose to be happy.. being in love is suppose to make me happy. but why am i all miserable..
at that period of time, i was so lonely. having friends was like a crime. and if i were to have any i would be punished. every movement needs to be reported. going to the shop without permission? then thats the end of me. gosh.. that was the darkest period of my life.. i dont want to even think about it..
i feel bad for blogging about this. well. not everything about him was bad. his loyalty was over the top. and the love he had for me was definitely real. its just that his possessiveness is just too much. waay too much. and now that im able to get myself away.. i learnt that on his part, it might be a mental disorder. i mean.. i did some research. and all the things he did to me.. matches with this particular disorder. well on my part, i guess it was pure stupidity.
it was an experience though. an experience which taught me to be more mature. now that i've experienced it first hand. i know what type of person i want to spend the rest of my life with. i hope history wont repeat itself. so i am more careful now. i wont let myself be hurt by any man anymore. emotionally or physically. and my family and friends will never be left out of my life again. EVER.
i guess God have plans for me. you know, everything happens for a reason. like now, i appreciate my loved ones MUCH MUCH MUCH more.
for you, i hope the best for you..
wow. didnt know this would turn out to be a very emotional entry for me. hahs. there you go. one of my deepest n darkest secret that no one knows. finally out. finally.
on the other hand, i wonder if thinking about a particular person for 3 whole years is called love. nah. i dont think so. i think its called hardcore crush. lol. im sure my girlfriends remember. he was the reason why i loved going to school. HAHAH. now he's married with a kid! LOL LOL.

okay. i need to do this. i really really really need to do this.yesterday, i just ate A LOT at the barbeque. and i wasnt hungry or whatever when my mom woke me up for sahur. my parents just came back from malaysia and they bought so many food. so i just ate half prata with sambal and 2 small pieces of lemang with daging. sounds alright. but combined with yesterday's food marathon no it is NOT alright.
right now im wearing my dad's huge tee which is now my favourite home tee. with a pair of bermudas. no offence, but i look like sheikh haikel for god sakes. holy crap.
I NEED TO LOSE SOME GODDAMN WEIGHT.
so here on my blog, i shall make a promise to everyone who reads this that I am gonna stop eating sinful food for the whole of fasting month left. i am just gonna eat fruits for sahur and buka. or maybe with a slice of bread for some energy. and as much as possible i'll go for a jog. URGH EVERYONE KNOWS HOW MUCH I HATE HATE HATE TO JOG. but its alright. i'll try. and by raya, i hope i'll lose at least 2 or 3kg!
and during raya, i am gonna control that temptation of eating house after house.
YES I AM. OK THANK YOU.
rosalina, you can do this!
oh God please help me..
smiled at 3:52 AM

right now, i'm being the biatch here by 'siap lambat' and making salwah wait for me. to give them some time to prepare the pit.
SALWAH IS CALLING ME SO MANY TIMES TO SPEED UP. AND I HAVE TO LIE TO HER THAT IM NOT READY. BUT OH GOD.. IM SO READY WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR THE RIGHT TIME. BOLEH KEMAS KATIL, BOLEH BLOG LAGI. HAHAHAH.
EEEEE. MY HEART IS BEATING FAST.
HAHAHAHAHA! SALWAH IS CALLING AGAIN. IM SORRY SALWAH.
smiled at 6:40 PM
i hope i'll get over this feeling soon. its a nice feeling but at the same time i feel a little stupid. i can just daydream and smile? isnt that a little psychotic.. rosalina, pull yourself together.
didnt do much today apart from buying some stuff at ntuc wit maria for tomorrow. we plan to iftar together. n then we'll head to geylang or sumthing. so yeah.. i will need to wake up early to prepare some food for about 15 people. wow thats like a kenduri. but its alright. i need some pahala. lol.
well i hope i'll be healthy by tomorrow. i'm really not in good shape. something is really wrong with my back. the whole friggin day i cant help it but to feel so damn weak and sick. it feels like there is a need to crack my back. lucky me i have a certified masseuse at home. my sister. take advantage la sikit. HEH. but hoh wells. she came back from work and she was too tired to entertain me. so she helped me for less than five minutes. it got better for awhile but now its back! SIGH
heard the news about a few babies that died after drinking this milk that was made in china. damn. i so dont trust china stuff anymore. i mean. what the heck is in that milk that would cause babies to die? gosh..
OH GOD.. help me.. fix my back please.. its killing me..

the usual. chilled with sawah and we did wat we do best.. picture tells a thousand words. ni lah. budak budak kesian..
help, somebody?
smiled at 11:15 PM
close your eyes.. take a deep breath together with all the pain that you're going through.. slowly breathe everything out of you.. open your eyes and flash a smile.. tell yourself, everything's gonna be alright..
well, there are just too many people in this world.. and there are so many types of personalities.. just by looking at them, you wont know what sort of person they are.. its impossible to please every single soul.. so accept that fact.. thats life.. life.. its just too beautiful for you to sulk all the time.. cheer up.. and make the best out of it..
everyone have their own way of reacting towards things.. and unintentionally, they might have hurt you.. they're humans.. so are you.. without you realizing you might have hurt them too.. so forgive.. and forget..
we humans.. we are never satisfied with what we have.. all we do is just search for flaws.. and the littlest thing that saddens you would just affect the whole of you.. for example, your physical imperfections.. please.. that is not even close to important.. think about it.. you're one of God's beautiful creation.. you have a heart to love.. and others, have a heart to love you back.. people around you think of you.. care about you.. celebrate your birthdays with you.. work hard just for you to live.. what more can you ask for..
love life.. and dont ever forget.. have faith in Him..
remember this rosalina..

today is totally a stay home day. god im loving every minute of being home! im gonna cherish it before work starts. YUECK.had to do some raya preparations. which includes spring cleaning. i did the most tak glamour job in history. lap tembok. HAHA. well my mom wants me to paint it over and i was like whaaaaaat? mama its just dirty. i was so malas so i suggested i wipe it vigorously. so i did. whooooh. what a sweaty mission. the beidge walls are now as good as new!
anyways, i wanna tell you guys about a boy that i am so in love with right now.. Irfan i love you big time. when you're older, and if you're reading this.. remember, you were once the sunshine of my life.. seee. he's paying me a visit and he's right in front of me now. eeeeeeeeee geramnye budak ni mcm nak kene campak campak!!!!!!!
smiled at 5:45 PM
went back to ylp today to collect my cheque. and got some good news and bad news. good news is, one of my ex colleague saw me and she said "wow.. rose you look prettier now!" and the bad news is, another of my ex colleague said "eh rose.. your face is chubbier leh.." woooooop. ok thanks.
oh god.. that was like a slap in the face. piaak!
after that, me and salwah went to ikea! the happy place! i was so happy the whole day until i reached the cashier. hah.
as i mentioned, i wanna do a mini make over for my room. just change of colours for the bedsheet and all. i have been buying the same coloured bedsheets for like a year or two already. so its time to change! here it is, the Before & After:
you better know which is the before and which is the after. as you can see all i did was, i bought a quilt and quilt cover with matching bedsheet (macam betol je matching) however, im not really satisfied with the end result. it didnt turn out as nice as i hope it would be. alah apapelah.
ok the bed aside, this is where i put my bags. under my study table where i rarely sit. its an eyesore to see the bags just on the floor. so i got myself a laundry bag to store it. haha!
not that impressive but at least i dont hate the sight of it.
ok the next thing i gotta do is, change the curtain and also get a picture frame or an art piece to hang on the wall on top of my bed. i saw this art piece at ikea which totally caught my eye!!! its a drawing of a naked girl lying down(but u cant see nothing cos she's not lying on her back).. the colours are beautiful. oh godd. if only i can get my hands on that! urrrrrgh.
everything about ikea is 2 thumbs up! the stuff they sell are awesome and at reasonable prices, the things are packed in such a way 2 girls can take a bus home even after buying lots and lots of things. and how can we forget? the ever SO FREAKIN DELICIOUS hotdog which me and salwah had just in time for buka!
overall, had a great great day today. oh, and im feeling sky high too....... :D

and, the last time i blogged about my recordings was waaaaay long ago. this time i tried singing Flaws and All - Beyonce. malu tu malu but dun care aaah. korang2 je read my blog. SO I DONT CARE YOU BETTER LISTEN. tell me what you think. beyonce pass tak? LOL.

smiled at 4:49 PM
i just finish sahor. and before puasa starts i gotta say this or else im afraid it'll batal later. woman you need to lose some fucking weight.
ok dah.
today i went out with my sisters for awhile. just a drive around. actually it wasnt meant to be a drive around. we had a destination. but since it was my sister who was driving, you know, we always get lost. lol.
when we were packing to go home.. i saw irfan's milk bottle and i just put it in my bag. i didnt know it wasnt closed tightly. the milk spilled and the hulk movie tickets that i went with shan wee got wet.. :( i washed it and dry it in front of the fan. thats how precious those tickets are. oh shan~ if only you knew.. lol.
i had the greatest laugh of the century. i was browsing through facebook and i saw this guy who looks EXACTLY like hazim mat version. i showed the girls and we laughed so hard for a good five minutes on the phone. believe it or not i laughed until my neck got cramped. how's that.
salwah showed me her dp which cracked me up big time. and i totally gotta try it myself. there's just too many hilarious pictures so lets do it section by section.
first one, Nyonya Terkini
now they're suppose to be caucasians but i turn out looking like a nyonya. my fav has got to be the last one. finally i see the Rosie side of me. bini pck lol.
ok this one, section Dasyat
i like the spirit. rambot tanak kalah. fav: last one. datin datin kaya ok.
third, Sweetest Thing
girl next door. fav: last one too. sikit2 mcm homosapien.
i read my own past entries n for some reasons i think it sounds vulgar and noisy. oh boy what has happened to me? hahah.
no im not vulgar neither am i noisy. maybe the way i type is like that. god help me. okay i'll try to be more reader friendly the next time.

Scary Spice, Sporty Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice, Baby Spice.
LOL.
i slept over at my cousin's place yesterday. i went to help her paint her room. its pink! im glad its pink. at least it makes me feel happy painting. i cant imagine how dreadful it would be like if i had to paint the wall with turqoise or sumthin. eeks.
okay im officially broke. actually i have been broke. which is the reason why i havent been going out for two weeks. yes. TWO FREAKIN WEEKS. i think im going crazy. i need my pay suckers. give me my pay cheque!!
so what have i been doing at home in the middle of the night? watch movies. romantic love stories.. yesterday i watched Just Married, Penelope and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. i dont care. im going to state whatever movies i've watched whether u like it or not. i wanna keep track. dont know what for. oh, and not forgetting Perfume. its not a love story but its hella good. any recommendations on more romantic love stories? i dont have my own love story so watching one keeps me happy. LOL.
im not kidding.. i need to go shopping.. or else.. i'll go insane.. somebody help me....
its so humid tonight. so so so humid. i need to take a bath. i dont know how many times i need to bathe in a day. weather, u got me begging u for mercy.

i cant wait to go to ikea! grab the quilt cover that i want, and some nice rattan containers to store my bags, and lots and lots of vanilla scented candles! i wanna try sewing my own curtain, i wanna bake some cakes and cookies! OH GOD I CANT WAIT FOR RAYA!!!!!!

first and foremost, i would like to wish all my muslim friends selamat berpuasa. its the second day of fasting now and so far its all so good.yesterday, maria told me she wanted to try makin szechuan chicken. oh yes szechuan chicken is the ****. especially for breaking fast. i suggested we do it together. so we went to the market bought some chicken and some ingredients. went back to her place and together we did a masterpiece.
here it is:
picture courtesy of Maria
today, the plan was to actually meet the girls for either an ikea visit, cycling or cooking. none of those happened cos all of us woke up at about... umm around 2pm? HAHA. heeesh. well i couldnt help it i slept at 9am how's that.
i got so addicted to watching movies that yesterday, i watched 4 not-so-new movies in total. and i loved it ALL.
The Notebook
A Walk To Remember (yea i cried like someone died for real thanks to this one)
What Happens In Vegas
There's Something About Mary
all of it have something in common. a romantic love story. :D
The Notebook is a must watch. i bet every girl would die to get that sort of unconditional love from a handsome dude like that. same goes for a walk to remember.
and for today, 'How Clean Is Your House' TOTALLY inspired me to clean my house. so i cleaned my kitchen! thought of cleaning the toilet and living room too but i got so dizzy after just the kitchen. haha! (hello im fasting okay.)
so what do you think.. im good huh.
