komposisi heavy mental

Aku sedang berada di dalam keadaan TIDAK terurus.  Rambut, jangan citer.  Muka, macam panuntata.  Sebab aku kepenatan, kekurangan tido yang amat dasat sekali.  Lapar?  Ye.  Tak payah cakap.  Dah habis sekampit cashew nuts yang beli kat petrol station pagi tadi aku telan.

Sedang-sedang membuat carta top 10 aku yang tak sesiap as in complete semuanya bereh, aku telah menchattingkan diri aku dengan pelbagai jenis status dan BBM sampai aku menjadi lebih tidak terurus.  Tidak.  Semua itu tidak berjaya mencelikkan aku.  I am at the brink of really sleeping right now.  So this is what I'm gonna do...

A friend had her status updated pagi tadi:

Status
Am watching Lifestyle's programme, "Extraordinary Breastfeeding".  Yes, firmly believe that Breast is Best but for an 8-year old???  Erksss.

The Comments:
Me: You've got that right!  Total Erks.  Tak benak ke budak tu nanti?

Updater: Budak tu kata "I don't think anyone should ever stop breastfeeding!" Amik kau.

Me: Lagi Erk! Laki ke pompuan anak dia tu?  Aish.

Updater: Haha! Pompuan. Penuh satu sofa tu noks.  That's it.  My son will be weaned right this very minute!

Updater: OMG!!! The dad joined in!!!! **pensan**

...And the thread gets longer la...

Ei apa da.  Sapa da tak pensan?  Breastfeed sampai 8 tahun??  Mende...

I have by now, settled 3 meeting arrangements, 3 org charts, a few items for signature, arranging flights and printing things.

Still sleeping through the day.  I kenot open my eyes.  Anak tido berkawad malam tadi.  Kiri kanan kiri kanan kiri kanan kiri kanan.  Tido pun boleh rasa pancit.  Apakah...  Kalau aku sorang macam ni, for sure musti ada spesis lain juga yang macam aku ni.  Confirm ada sorang la hari ni kat Port Klang tu.

But what would be the binatang matching to me right now, right this very minute?  Macam cipan, tapi bukan...  Itu jawapan kurang tepat.  Ia adalah kushin.  Sila ikut murid-murid.  Apa nama menatang itu?  Nama dia adalah Kooshin. 

Teringat pulak semalam masa on the way nak fetch Ammar from school.  Elyas said,

"Mak, I think I want to eat that something Abang Ammar buy from school.  That chipodut." 

"Hah?  You cakap apa ni?  Apa tu?"

"The chi.po.dut."

"Hah?"

"Chee po duk."

Makin lama makin berdifferent version pulak jadinya ek...  Lama jugak aku kena concentrate sebab aku sedang multitasking melakukan beberapa perkara iaitu:

a) Driving marabahaya sebab takut lambat sampai sekolah.  Nanti takde parking.

b) Tengah nak distract Inez yang baru nak start huk hek hok dia.

c) Konsentrasi terbaek juga sebab takut terlanggar Encik Black yang sedang jogging at the end of the road.

So apakah penghujungnya?  Obviously aku semustinya frazzled la kan.  But I STILL COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT.  Apakah apakah apakah???

"Apa tu Elyas?  Apa chipodut, cheepoduk...?  Apa?" .

Lama pikir...  Apa?  Ammar bawak balik?  Apa barang?  Sekolah...?? 

"Cekodok ke?" aku tanya.

Dia jawab dengan senyum manis, "YEEES!! Cekodok.  You are right, Mak!"

Adeh... Pandei la ko nak gulakan Mak ko ya...

santapan di siang hari isnin ini

Tadi I went out for lunch. 

Memula macam...  Takpe la makan asal boleh.  Maybe Maggie Goreng ke...  Apa ke.  Sekali sampai saja di kedai mamakian tersebut, tengok orang dok order nasi kandaq.  Wah.  Lama gilos aku tak makan nasi kandar.  Lama sangat.  Then terasa lapar la pulak yang mana whatever I though I was gonna order will not be sufficient.  Maka aku pun tersampuk macam orang lain mengorder mekanan tersebut.

Nasi Kandaq yang mengenyangkan... {{ Burp }} Alhamdulillah...

Memula terasa macam...  Ayo!  Bulih ka nak habes ni?  Tak la jugak menjadi dilema sebab akak ni biasanya apa yang diambil even time makan buffet pun, they will be finished unless ia ada mengikut kriteria yang:

A) dah sangat kenyang.
B) dah terasa muak sebab coordination mekanan tersebut, though biasanya habes jugak...
C) tak sedap sampai tak bulih makan.
D) if it's milky, especially yang too milky sampai nak pulak kena makan benda lain bebanyak... sori, I kenot swollow.

Nota: Dengan keadaan I eat everything ni, option C means, orang lain pun jangan la makan.

And the result from that beberapa minit punya suapan...

I told you I was a good eater!

Bess.  Terasa puas dan kenyang di perut is just nice.  Not too kenyang.  He he. 

So mentara nak tunggu masa I pun called up to borak with my sister.  Borak punya borak then I thought, okay lah, time to head back to the office.  Start engine, full blast ekon sebab sangat panas macam sauna then rally back to the office complex. 

Sedang nak sampai tu, aku dah tercangak bobbing my head sideways.  He he.  Nak tengok...  Kalau lori jual pisang goreng tu ada meniaga hari ni ke tidak.  The kids love the pisang goreng sebab tak mua and crunchy.  Memang best.  So berenti la lagi.  Satu pack for them and one more lesser in value for me.  He he.

Pisang goreng yang nikmat

Tengah berdiri menunggu mentara boss dia sorting my order, assistant dia pulak sambung tanya, "Ya Dik, mau apa?"  That woman was standing next to rows of other things dan mata aku terus nampak sesuatu dan secara otomatis mulut berbunyik, "Cendol bungkus satu!" 

Waaah...  Inilah sebabnya aku kalau depan kedai mekanan adalah dikawalselia rapi oleh Encik Black.  Ha ha ha.  Serious.  Masa pregnant dulu adalah SANGAT dikawalselia bila lalu depan kedai donat!  Ha ha.  Dan supermarket.  Ye lah.  Aku kan professional supermarket sweep.  Kenkandang tu terlepaslah jugak satu dua benda.  Kasik tumus dalam itu troli.  Tengs.

Hari panas dan secawan cendol.  Apakah itu?  Nikmaat...  Nak kasi tunjuk.  Sila berdarai airmato mahupun air liur.

Cendol on the go!

Di sebelah kanan ada cendol, di sebelah kiri ada pisang goreng dan di tengah-tengah dalam perut, ada nasik kandaq.  Keputusannya?  Cendol dah tinggal separuh dan pisang goreng belum bersentuh! 

Tu lah.  Lahanatnya mata ini.  Ha ha.

tugasan hari ini adalah... ada lah!

We spent yesterday sleeping.  Well.  At least I did.  Tido je. 

Nadia mengejar tidur. 

Ha ha.  Ye.  Tapi tido pun dengan little kitten.  Budak kecik tu tersepit je kat celah ketiak.  Bangun je terus sengih menyeringai yang sweet.  He he.  Elok sangat le dari yang bangun bangun je dah moody semacam atau dua macam.

Aku kena buat beberapa carta ni sekarang ni.  Bukan tak boleh buat.  Aku suka guna PowerPoint tapi menatang tu macam ada kurang sikit dengan nak mendotdotkan line dia ke tidak.  Samaada itu atau pun aku yang tak tau sebenarnya it can be done.  So memandang kat Excel Sheet dengan perasaan tiada perasaan sebab macam, "Ek eleh, kena pakai Excel ke?"  Boring betul.

There are also things that I have to send back to KL.  Tapi nak kena buat delivery sheet pulak.  Tu pun satu boring.  Ish.  Dah namanya pun kerja.  Takkan nak dapat gaji buto kut?  Tak challenging langsung.  Lagi pun lagi la tak berkat.  Tapi...  Ish. 

You know what?  Aside of having my sister-in-law tell me that I sound like my father, I KNOW deep within that I am getting more and more like him as I get older.  OH NO!  Good thing?  Entahlah.  Laki aku pun dah tak kata apa-apa.  Ye la kut.  Immune system dah immune.  Ha ha.

Anyway.  Aku kena tackle one by one.

As for my frustation on my blogs, MakSu buat dek je ngan aku.  Ye lah.  Orang tu banyak benda lagi nak buat.  Baik je lagi stussy dari nak layang orang tua ganyut cam aku nih.  Uih.  Ganyut kah aku??  Dono.  Don't care.  Ha ha.  I know I still can't see my blogger toolbar.  I'm not really satisfied with the layout.  Terus menonong dan membuat panggilan pulau kecemasan to Mala.

"Maaalaaa....  Tolong aku...  Toolbar aku ilang.  Aku menci.  Aku tiada option...." dan disahut suara trademark seorang bidadari berciri-cirikan halilintar exotic, Mala pun menyahut, "Oh.  Nantilah aku tengokkan lepas aku settle benda aku yang satu ni dulu k?"

YEAAAAHOOO....!!!!

Okay okay sudah sudah.  Masa untuk mengejar carta Top 10 itu.

[[ Hish ]]

oh my head!

I spent hours to getting a new template and making them work. 

Bleukh!

What I have, I'm not satisfied with.  More over that I have to reset everything I've put in.

Just need to stop over some where before I head on home.  All I know is that my head's about to burst.

VEET WAX STRIP

I tried something new.  I finally got to wax my underarms for the first time, professionally done, a few months ago.  It felt lovely knowing that everything is clear and clean.  But to go and get the subsequent waxing hasn't been favourable to me.  But I want...  But kenot.  Bekos... Bekos...  I have to rush for time.  Always have to rush for time.  Don't even have time to go for a run when the mood comes.  Aih.

Ok. Nemind. 

So baru ni we went to the pharmacy and found la Veet Waxing Strips.  Moonie mentioned this to me some time back.  Tapi sebenarnya I jarang jumpa.  [Ke sebab aku selalunya Supermarket Sweep, Pharmacy Sweep dan Kedai Eskem Sweep?]  Then bila jumpa, terus masuk dalam bakul Encik Black berisi 4 biji air botol tu dengan the strips AND night serum... and a couple of eyebrow pencils...  menyebabkan kejutan kurang waras padanya.  "Macam mana boleh jadi seratus lebey ni?  I ambik 4 botol air je [konpius]...??".

Finally after few days and nights, I took the time to try it last night.  Okay...  The directions were more for waxing your kaki, not underarm.  So from what I HAD TO GO THROUGH last night, I'll sum it up here:

Directions for Kaki Waxing
STEP ONE/   Rub the strip between your hands for 5 seconds to warm it.

STEP TWO/  Separate the strips, stick it on, gently rub in the direction of your hair [gosok dari atas ke bawah ler tu maknanya]

STEP THREE/  Pull the strip up against the direction of your hair growth [tarik dari bawah ke atas]

STEP FOUR/  To re-use the strip, just place the two strips together again and begin from Step One again.

I pun tried to follow the instructions la.  But these were what I had to endure:

ONE/  After several tries, I got frustrated that a lot of wax was wasted and little hair was caught.  I followed the instruction without much common sense.  The whole strip was half the size of Readers' Digest.

TWO/  Within the first few tries, my underarms were sticking to my torso from the wax.

THREE/  Lecetan cinta lilin.

FOUR/  The bathroom, over the sink looking into the mirror is THE right place to do it!

So after I was done with the first strip, thinking like an engineer [cecewah... ala.  bagi la chan], I came up with these solutions.  They helped a lot.  Here are my tips for those who wants to try:

SATU/  Rub the strip between your hands for 5 seconds to warm it.  You can even place it on your belly.  It's more thoroughly warmed that way, easier and faster.

DUA/  Cut the strips into smaller sizes.  It's easier to handle.  And tak la ko sakit ati tengok bila strip tu wax je banyak melekat, bukannya your underarm hair.

TIGA/  As the instruction goes, urut in the direction dari atas ke bawah ikut jatuh hair tu and pull the strip against the direction.

FOUR/  Have at least wet wipes ready.

Tapi kan, setelah mengharungi pelbagai jenis cabaran malam itu, I noticed there was a mention on the box that you should have one more product macam wet wipes jugak to get rid of the wax residue.  That you MUST get when you want to get the wax strips sebab when everything's off and you have abrassions oredi, everything else will hurt and products will sting them. 

On my part, my abrassions are quite bad.  Plus the wax residue was there and I didn't know what to do about it.  Cuci ngan sabun je tak hilang.  No matter how much bubbles you get from it pun. 

I had to put lotion first, wash it off with soap and warm water, then loads of powder.  And when I woke up this morning, I had a painful time bathing, getting ready and moving.  The thing is that from my earlier errors, itu armpit sudah melecet.

Doing it yourself is NOT same with getting someone else to do it for you.  Obviously...  [Eyes rolling] 

But it's an individual option to try.  For referrals, I hope these links would be able to help you:

1. First time users

2. Then after surfing for information, I realised that the pictures had the Finish Wipes with them.

Uh.  Adakah aku seorang bonda yang tidak perasan dan kena buat semua benda cepat juga terpaksa mekak panggil bapak budak amik anak dara dia yang tengah sopannya take out from the plastik besau, then plastic kecik asyik dengan dok peel off ALL my sanitary napkins while I did it?

Jawapannya:
YE.

Aside of all this, I love the scent on this thing.  No worries of the smell from the hair removal cream.  And from all of this long kompisi haram, I hope your first time trying would be much better than mine!!
