Help! We Need An MPV!

Wiken ni kami nak ke Cameron Highland sempena ketibaan Bonda Terchenta & keluarga saya. 

Walaupun CLK kami sangatlah berguna dan menjimatkan, tapi mungkin tak boleh bawak sampai 6 orang penumpang.

Aiyoh, stress! Stress! Apa yang perlu kami buat?

Therefore, kalau pembaca yang budiman tahu kat mana boleh sewa MPV dengan harga yang murah, hopefully boleh la share dengan kami. Tolong sesangat ya! :)

P/S: Suami Terchenta semakin ada alasan kuat untuk beli Exora sebijik!

Fab 3 Went Shopping Again!

Yours truly, Jen & Ainie - shop-a-holic comes in threesome

Remember that crazy bunch of friends I inherited way back in JB? Last time when we earned peanuts, we were not so crazy about shopping but we spent quite a lot of time at bowling alleys, movies and the dungeon (a.k.a. our underground office).

But now. Some more, the crime scene is moved to KL, and our paycheques were not so peanuts but probably more like hazelnuts, our hobby seemed to evolve to... shopping.

Well, we were doing it again. Teman-ing Ainie si budak perasan comel shopping for her soon-to-be-hubby's convo in UK. Have you guys any idea of how tiring but hilarious it is?

Moi tak pergi la habiskan duit shopping for those expensive clothes because I had exhausted my shopping allowance this month, and Jen is more like an obedient wife who won't spend money scared her hubby will lecture her. So both of us spent our time becoming free fashion consultants to our darling Ainie.

Nevertheless, no harm in just trying out those clothes, kan Jen? ;)

Jen said, 'Eh, I look pregnant in this baju!'

So much fun we had that these two ladies played hide-n-gotcha! behind flimsy dress:

'Would Chairman marry me on the spot if I wore this transparent top??'

The blouse that both fashion consultants strongly advised against, but Ainie loved it for some strange reasons

Ainie: 'Guess which dress I bought, Chairman? Bet you can't wait to see me!'

'Guess, Chairman, guess... Muahaha!'

After 2 hours of shopping for the perfect dress (phew!), we met up with Survivor and Cik Nanie, and then we had lunch at one of the sushi restaurants at The Garden (tak sedap, garam overloaded and over-priced jugak). Then, I had to quickly sprint to the surau to pray Zohor and back again because Ainie's flight back to JB was in less than 2 hours time.

We all decided to send her off to Subang Airport including Jen who forgot to inform her hubby. She got carried away with all this girls outing! Muahaha! So, Mr Chen did not want to fetch her and Survivor had to send her back to her house. Still it was a fun outing.

I would have included the pix of us at Subang Airport (posing tak ingat laki, amik ko!) but Cik Nanie still had not send it to us :p I sooo need an iPhone a compact camera ;)

Let's Cook Dinner!

Malam ni makan malam kami sangat sempoi. Lepas solat Maghrib, jenguk2 kat dapur. Geledah apa yang ada. Hmm... Bahan2 yang dijumpai:

1. Telur

2. Sayur brokoli yg semakin kuning (muahaha! terserlah kemalasan saya memanaskan kuali akhir2 ni)

3. Beras

4. Bahan2 mentah e.g. bawang, rempah-ratus, cili, kicap, cuka etc.

5. Tomato

Aktiviti menggeledah semakin berleluasa, akhirnya terjumpa...

6. Corned beef (cap halal, buatan Sarawak ok)

Ikutkan hati yang malas, lebih baik amek kunci motor dan 'memasak' di pasar malam. Tapi kerana perut yang lapar lepas berpoya2 di Sunway Lagoon hari ni, ditambah cuaca buruk kat luar (malasnya nak kena pakai baju hujan!), therefore haruslah berfikir nak masak lauk apa dengan bahan2 ittew.

Akhirnya berbekalkan semangat waja & resipi Kak CT (Kak CT, saya pomot ni!), therefore kami suami isteri pon dengan rajinnya memasak makan malam! Caya la beb! These are our lauk malam ni:

Resipi Nasi Corned Beef:

• 1/2 tin corned beef
• 1/4 ulas bawang besar
• Nasi
• Sedikit minyak untuk menggoreng
• Sedikit garam
• Cili (jika suka)

Cara-cara:
1. Panaskan minyak, masukkan garam (supaya minyak tak memercik)
2. Tumis bawang besar sampai kekuningan
3. Masukkan corned beef & tumis
4. Masukkan nasi dan gaul rata
5. Goreng hingga sebati

Untuk resipi telur acar, sila klik sini. Oleh sebab bahan2 kat rumah tak lengkap, therefore saya adalah modify sikit2 tapi rasanya tetap heaven. Oh ya, tambah tomato pun sedap ;)

Resipi broccoli butter:

• Brokoli
• Bawang putih
• Sedikit butter untuk menumis

Cara-cara:

1. Cairkan butter
2. Tumis bawang putih
3. Masukkan brokoli dan tumis

Actually, sebab bawang putih kami sudah habis, saya terpaksa la gantikan dengan...

'Garlic Spread'

Lantak la, janji rasa bawang putih. Betul tak? Muahaha!

Disebabkan kami cuma berdua, lauk-pauk (kecuali sayur) berlebihan tapi tak apa. Boleh panaskan semula untuk breakfast esok pagi ;)

Teh Tarik Session - Fab 4 is back in town

Malam ni saya relaks abis. Ainie budak perasan comel is in town, and that means only one thing - girls night out. So kiteorang hasut Jen supaya ikut, saya hampir2 tarik diri tapi lepas tu saya pulak jadi drebar ke NZ, Wangsa Maju.

The moment Jen got into the car, dia berkata dengan sangat takjubnya, 'Eh, hubby lets you drive ke? I envy you la, can drive in KL dy.' 

'Can la, why not?' Saya keheranan. I'd been driving everywhere - Seremban, Melaka, PD, JB... apa la sangat KL (chewah! Hahaha! Sumpah, ni ayat ajinamoto je).

'Coz my hubby didn't allow la...'

'Why not?' Ainie menyampuk.

'He said he'll only let me drive after he installed GPS in the car. Later scared I got lost la, this la that la...'

'Aiyoh, so caring la MK...'

Saya cuba imajin kalau Suami Terchenta tak kasi driving. Some more, driving my own car. Sure Perang Dunia Ketiga (so far dia bagi la). Tak pe Jen. You wait till your marriage is 3 years old. He'll let you drive with or without GPS.

Dalam kereta, dua orang budak comel seperti biasa, membuat pencemaran bunyi sementara seorang budak comel jadi samseng bawak kereta tengah-tengah bandar (saya la itu). Sampai Ainie jerit2 - 'Ainie, this is how KL drivers drive.' Sebenarnya, tengah sebok pasang telinga sampai drive on auto-pilot mode. Hehe. Madam Chen a.k.a. former Miss Universe (now Mrs), sebok telefon her hubby - 'zhe tou, ni zhe tou ma?' tanya En Chen kalau dia tau tempat lepak kami tu. 'What's the mamak place again, Carn? BRJ is it?' Saya pon tak ingat, tapi saya jawab je, 'Uhuh.' Nasib la Mr Chen, pusing2 carik BRJ tak jumpa. Nasib baik Ainie call Survivor tanya nama tempat.

Tiba2 Jen gelak sesorang, 'You know what, this is actually my 2nd time going out at night with friends since I moved to KL - first time was few months ago when we went to Midvalley!' Ainie & saya geleng2 kepala.

'Jen, get a life!' Ainie.

'Last time we went out EVERY night sampai pukul berapa entah lepak2 & main boling!' Carneyz.

'I know! Hahaha! Marriage has tamed me.' Jen.

We reached NZ and after one round and an illegal turn later, we parked and went to find our port. Ordered drinks and food and started our familiar routine - making dirty jokes and bursting in laughter. It's been a long time since I laughed this way. Been a long time since I had a teh tarik session either. Kesiannya la aku.

After 'huha2' & 'haha2' an hour later, barulah Survivor and Nana came to join us. Gila lama tak jumpa Survivor. Rupa pun dah macam balak mana la. Still, the funny crazy Survivor. Hahaha. Tak jadi nak marah minah Chipsmore ni. 

But then I had to leave already. Dah nama isteri orang kan. Hahaha. Tapi malam ni sungguh la terbalik. The wives went to lepak @ mamak and para suami stayed at home watching tv. Tapi saya baik kan. Drive sendiri, tak mintak ambik pon (ayat ni ditujukan khas kepada Jen).

Huhu. Kalau la boleh buat ni selalu. I miss this moment. I miss them. I miss us.

'Let's name our cafe, 'Queen Wife Cafe'.' Banyak la korang.

Kisah Shopping Ikea Suami Isteri

Sinopsis minggu lepas:

Lately walaupun dapat 3 hari cuti yg mabeles, saya tetap rasa ketidaksedapan hati. Something akan berlaku, jadi perasaan gabra ni bikin kaki tangan saya berpeluh, haruslah saya mencapai sesuatu untuk buat saya kembali tenang.

Sesuatu = buku katalog Ikea edisi 2009.

Saya ajak Suami Terchenta serbu Ikea. Macam ada sesuatu yg mesti dibawa balik, sebab instinct saya gila kuat akan berlaku peristiwa tak lama lagi.

Suami Terchenta pon setuju. Dia nak bawak balik something jugak sebab kepalanya pening tengok baju+seluar+tudung+etc. bertimbun2 atas tempat sidai tuala dalam bilik kami (maklumlah, kami yg bz bila balik kerja akan campak semua pakaian di situ sebab dah penat. Huhu...).

Ya, benar. Ini ialah Suami Terchenta yg sama, iaitu En Junaidix. Oh, kamu surprise? Sejak bila En Suami Terchenta yg dulu suka sepah2 pening kepala tengok ke-sepah-an? Wakaka! (En Suami Terchenta akan geget2 saya dgn ayat yg tak responsible nih!)

Kisah Shopping Ikea En Suami Terchenta:

Tujuan keluar rumah:

1. Bayar loan rumah di bank @ Ikano. Dalam perjalanan, teringat tak bawak hp. No akaun dalam hp. Bagitau Isteri Terchenta bila dah sampai di bank, Isteri Terchenta histeria dan mula bagi lecture. Nasib baik ada pekerja bank bekerja weekend, Isteri Terchenta suruh cuba nasib tanya beliau kalau boleh dapatkan no akaun bank. Sukses! Isteri Terchenta pergi bayar loan rumah sambil membebel tak habis2, sampailah lalu depan booth Aussino dah beliau ternampak sales hingga 70% lepas tu mood Isteri Terchenta jadi sangat baik. Phew.
2. Beli tempat gantung baju untuk ganti tempat sidai tuala yg tak efektif. Mulanya nak beli yg ni:

'Hai. Nama saya Rigga. Saya ialah tempat gantung baju. Harga saya RM49. Belilah saya...' (Photo source: Ikea.com.my)

Tapi dgn tak tersangka2, Isteri Terchenta dah terpandang ni, lalu beliau sgt jatuh chenta sampai peluk2 sambil buat suara 'uhuk2' dan 'I want! I want!' nya tu!

Oleh sebab saya ialah suami yg baik hati+hensem+sayangkan isteri, therefore saya pon dgn sgt berat murah hati bayar furniture ni (saya cuma nak gantung baju je!). Tapi tak sia2 saya belikan ni untuk Isteri Terchenta:

Multi-purpose. Yeah. Mesti tak percaya kalau kami katakan rak ni muat dalam CLK.

Kisah Shopping Ikea Isteri Terchenta

Tujuan keluar rumah:

1. Bayar loan rumah. En Suami Terchenta terlupa henpon sekaligus terlupa no. akaun bank. Bila dah sampai di bank baru nak bagitau. Geget Suami Terchenta! Mujur ada pekerja bank yang rajin. Saya dah simpan satu copy no.akaun dalam dompet saya.
2. Survey bedsheet. Sekarang tengah sales. Tapi harga still mahal. Ceh.
3. Survey apa barang terbaru di IKEA. Bila saya boleh beli satu IKEA nih...
4. Survey sofa bed. Something yang kuat tu berkaitan dengan sofa bed. Hmm...
5. The next day, Kakak Terchenta call. 'Ayahanda akan serbu rumah kamu!' Histeria, histeria! Therefore, instinct gila kuat tu ialah supaya saya beli sofa bed sempena ketibaan Ayahanda!

Rushing pergi ke IKEA lagi, pergi membeli sofa bed (sebelum tu, aktiviti ketuk2 kalkulator sambil bincang2 pembahagian harta untuk memiliki sebuah sofa bed):

Sofa bed 'LYCKSELE HÅVET' from Ikea (Photo source: Ikea.com)

Sayangnya tak muat dalam CLK :p Terpaksa la upah delivery hantar ke rumah kami. Sekarang dah ada sofa bed merangkap katil untuk bilik tetamu. Boleh la ajak ahli keluarga beramai2 datang ke rumah kami (bulan Julai nanti akan panik+histeria lagi sebab Ayah & Bonda Mertua pulak akan serbu rumah!)

P/S: Suami Terchenta sangat heart sofa bed - dah 2 malam dia tido di ruang tamu di atas sofa bed itu :p
