shopping tak habis habis

the trip to Pandorf yesterday was successful. :)

I berjaya rembat 2 le creuset caserole dishes to match kan dengan my polish ceramic caserole dishes and salt and pepper shaker and 1 spice jar.










Then, I also bought stuff at villeroy and boch: 1 deep serving dish and 4 gourmet plates, at 50per cent off!!!! I have been very interested in this particular design since last year tapi bila tengok harga at the kedai in the city, memang la tak dapat nak beli.Bila dah half off, terus i ambik you!!



i ingat nak tambah 2 bowls. Tapi tak de kat pandorf ittew so mungkin i kena pergi beli kat the store in the city.

what else?

oh...i got my dolce gusto capsules in the city. They had a special pack of 6 +2 for less than 30euros. Maka sangat berbaloi-baloi. I bought 1 special pack tu jer. Am planning to get 1 or 2 more. :)

Other than that, my shopping list has dwindled. I am contmplating nak beli ke tak coffee cups punye set and tall glasses for my ice lattes. Tinggal tu je la kot.

Periuk-periuk ni, mungkin tak beli dah. I think I have enough, for now.

Am going to only make one trip tomorrow to hantar barang because after that, I want to concentrate on reading my thesis' proofread copy. Nak tengok balik and hope I sempat baca everything by tomorrow. After that, ingat nak print out and hantar by end of this month, insyaAllah.

Doakan ai yer, uols. :)

hari ni, i took a break from lugging the luggages. I have made nine trips so far!!! Nanti ai akan ambik gambar of all the stuff I carried, once I finished. Just to let you know, the small room is almost filled with my stuff. I have 6 boxes so far....tu pon sebab dah tak de kotak kosong. So the rest of my stuff will be packed by the movers, i guess.

so, since today rest day, I decided to pergi beli barang yang masih belum dibeli.

I still need to buy
- botol susu
- serving dishes
- coffee capsules
- tall glasses for my cuppacino
- cake stand
- dutch oven

I bought the botol susu already. Coffee capsule tu, dah ada juga, but I want to get 8 more boxes.

Serving dishes and dutch oven tu, I plan to buy esok, since I am going to the outlet. Might get the cake stand there as well. Tall glass tu, I am not sure if nak beli ke tak. If jumpa, i beli. If tak de, i tak beli.

Aside from that, I got my thesis back from my proof reader. I still have yet to read it through. I plan to do it this monday, inshaAllah.

Esok, ingat nak cari kasut as well. And t-shirts. And other nice stuff to wear to work.

And, sedar tak sedar, I only have less than 10 weeks left.

p.s: my biceps are more defined semenjak kerja-kerja angkut barang ni. hih hih.

bibik or no bibik?

Hmm....dah dekat nak balik ni, macam-macam pulak lah idea Dr Sunshine.

Firstly, dia tetiba cakap tak nak hantar Dani to SRAI. There goes my keinginan. :( So, sekolah kebangsaan it is. But, I am going to try and get him placed in one of the smart schools, inshaAllah.

And now, he asked me to think about having a bibik. Sigh. I don't know. His argument (to have bibik) seems to make sense. BUt on the other hand, I don't like to have another person living in my house. So, how?

Why should I have bibik (menurut dr sunshine)
-the amount we are going to fork out for daycare + weekly cleaner is more than what we would fork out if ada bibik (who will be able to clean the house everyday)
- if mak or MIL datang, ada la teman kat rumah
- house will be clean.
- I would not be tired sangat sebab ada orang tolong buat house chores.
- we can go out for late night movies and mamak, without having to carry the boys (yang tengah tidur)
- can go for bike rides.
- senang mak to datang stay with us (we are trying to pujuk her to stay with us..hehe...along with my Along. :))

why i don't feel like having a bibik
- because I don't like having a stranger in the house
- i have trust issues and takut nak tinggalkan my boys with her.

so cemana sekarang ni uols?

to have bibik or not?

i was thinking, if nak ada bibik, Dr Sunshine kena install cctv so that i can see what she is doing.

hmm...if you were in my shoes, nak bibik ke tak??

the husband wants to buy an er6 and minta ai sponsor half of the down payment. I cakap ok. Dan dia amat surprise yang i bagi dia beli motor.

Ai kata: Yes, i tak kisah. Because I am sure you dah fikir betul-betul. Yang pasti, you kena take into account nak hantar anak2 daycare and etc. If you dah kira, and still rasa cukup, go ahead.

Ok tak jawapan i? Prinsip i. sebab motor tu kehendak dan bukan priority. Maka, in my opinion, lepas dah beli motor ni, ai bolehlah lenggang kangkung dan contribute minimal amount sahaja to the household expenses. Kata mampu, kan?

:)

destinasi belajar

i am excited!!!

sebab someone from embassy called me to cakap yang ada sorang malaysian going to pursue her phd here.

excited pasal apa tau? She's coming in April. I am leaving mid/end april. So, saya excited sebab bolehlah dia duduk rumah ai ni.

Dia memang ada suruh i carikan rumah untuk dia. For me, senang lagi if dia duduk sini. Lagipon, its not easy to cari rumah. I lost count of how many houses I viewed before settling on this particular flat.

Anyway, doakan la ye dia agree duduk sini.

Pasal hangkut barang,i have made 5 trips so far. Each time, i hanya larat bawa satu big luggage bag sahaja. I didn't want to strain myself by bringing two luggage bags at once. Sebab tram tu, bukan semua yang baru. If dapat yang lama, nak kena hangkut naik tangga tram lama tu satu hal. So, my strategy so far (dah 2 hari amalkan) is to carry aaron guna carrier tu, and seret cabin size bag filled with stuff. Letak bag and Aaron at friends house and balik rumah ambik beg beg besar pulak, one at a time. Sehari, maximum 3 trips je so far. Sebab nanti kena unpack plak at my friends house and repack masuk kotak. Memang penat.

Esok, I plan nak angkat my books and files and papers, bags and toys. I think first trip will consist of bags and some other bajus. Trips after that baru bawak toys and books. Then nak bawak benda2 kaca pulak.

PAstu the day after nak bawak bouncer, followed with car seat.

Pastu kena pi shop for other stuff like coffee capsules and milk bottles and scan pan knives and serving dishes.

then, have to tengok betul2, apa2 lagi yang mungkin tertinggal.

Hopefully, I will finish everything by the end of the week. And then, can concentrate balik on thesis. Which is, go through proof edited copy, print, bind and submit.

Wish me luck!!

p.s: sapa nak pi kuekenhof dgn i april ni?? Jom???

oh em gee *pekup mulut*

i have started packing my stuff!

OMG. Banyaknya barang nak pack. Can I just pengsan now??? Pack tu satu hal. Nak menghangkut it all the way to my friends house (with anakanda in tow) satu cerita plak. *pengsan lagi sekali*

I only have a week to do this!!!! Maknanya, lagi seminggu, rumah ai bakal jadi 3/4 kosong!!!

Esok, inshaAllah, I will be sending off 3 bags of clothes (in 2 trips). If sempat, I might also pergi kedai villeroy utk beli 2 serving plates to mix and match kan dengan the 2 serving plates I already bought dekat czech tu.

Some other things which I still need to get adalah
1. botol susu
2. scan pan kinves
3. pie maker
4. ice cream maker
5. coffee capsules
6. coffee cups/ tall glasses(tho this one kalau ada ok..if tak de tak apa)
7. bodum tea maker thingy
8. cake/dessert transporter
9. the coffee press coffee maker thingy

esok, i nak pi drop of 2 bags, leave aaron, and head to saturn to check out ada pie maker or ice cream maker. if ada, beli, and drop it off. then balik rumah to get one more bag. drop that off. then balik and maybe head to lutz to get that tea maker thingy and the dessert transporter thingy.

yes. i is very the gigih. haruslaa...

pastu nak kena pack pulaaakkk!!!!!!!!!! and next day kena transport benda2 lagi.

Sampailah semuanya selesai.

thinking about it makes me TIRED. But what to do. Dah nak tumpang orang kan. Kena la buat, by hook or by crook. Dah la my auntie out of town. If ada, can la minta tolong bawak barang2 naik keta. Dah tak ada, makannay, I have to lug the heavy stuff naik turun tram. Well, have to lah kan.

Still loads of things to pack!!!!!!

*pengsan*

sometimes I wonder, how the hell did I manage to accumulate so much stuff and stash it in my closets??

shopping spree

you see, i was planning totumpang a friend's contena to ship my stuff back. She was supposed to balik somewhere in April/ May. Sekali, dia dapat surat transfer few days ago...and her date of transfer is 29feb!!

OMG.

Maka, I pon tumpang panic sekali because this means that I would have to start packing as well. On top of that, there were still a lot of stuff on my to buy list!! And, the thought of transporting my stuff to her place pon agak membuatkan i risau sangat uols!! Yela..dengan nak bawak baby lagi, nak pi hantar-hantar barang lagi. How??

Tapi, nak tak nak, I have to do it. I will start bringing my stuff over to her place this Sundaym by batches.

And, on top of that, I have been shopping. Today je, I spend a lot of money!! errghhh...tapi, nasib tengah sale kan. So thank god for that!!

Today, i bought 1 stock pot, 1 fleisch pot, 1 set of stainless steel knives with the knive block and 1 dolce gusto coffee maker. I tell you, the knives tu, tak de dalam list pon. Tapi tergoda dengan rupa bentuknya. And it won't rust kan. So I thought its a good purchase. hehe. I wanted to buy another pan, tapi decided not to sebab nak kena bajet-bajet juga uols!!!

Pastu, I beli dolce gusto genio. I have been reading a lot of reviews. I was actually torn between getting an espresso machine OR a coffee maker yang guna capsules tu. Bila pikir-pikir, I don't really drink coffee so baik la beli yg guna capsule tu cos ada banyak flavour like chai tea latte, hot cocoa and even iced tea. Pastu, it was on sale (less than 100euros), so, i pon hambik jer la. :) Oh...one thing...dia ada international warranty and there's a service centre in Malaysia. So, ok la kan...dia ada 2 year warranty.

Esok, I plan to beli serving dishes, cake stands, coffee cups.

What else should I buy?

I haven't started packing. Honestly, I dread thinking about it!!!

First, I nak pack baju2, shoes.

Then, nak angkut my electrical appliances and pinggan mangkuk and kitchen stuff

Then buku-buku, toys

Oh....my house will be quite empty after next week.

Alang-alang dah pack bagai, I might as well balik cepat sikit, kan?

p.s: thesis dah dihantar to proof reader! :) InshaAllah dapat balik next week. I'll have to go through it again and then can submit.

p.ps:I am done with courseworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.p.p.s: Lepas dah hantar thesis ingat nk pi holiday. Pastu nak kena tulis paper plak for 2 conferences and 1 book chapter.

pastu boleh balliikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

doakan yer uols.
