Patiently Counting The Days

It is about 8 degree C at the moment. The weather is gloomy,very windy and actually drizzling too. So it is pretty cold outside and... inside hurm~~~ The autumn is going to an end and soon the winter is gonna sets in. Last week unbelievably it had already been snowing. So of course I was shocked with the sudden freaking cold temperature. We ended up spending the whole day around the heater. Apparently on that day the whole west J*pan from north down to the south received heavy snow due to the cold wind from the northern hemisphere blown down from above. Fortunately it had been snowing very little and the snow melted once it reached the ground on that day in our place. Compared to other places in the west side which got their soil all whitish covered with thick snow.

Somehow living in single unit house made the atmosphere in the house much colder. Sometimes I feel like living in a cool box, really. I wonder how am I gonna face the absolutely much bittering cold coming winter with bountiful snow. It's gonna be like living in the freezer by then. I'm sure I would rather let myself grilled and burnt on the heater rather than shivering in coldness. Imagining myself as a grilled Y*mame fish. Mmm sedap dimakan ;P Even at this moment of time I always get myself covered in my beanie, 1 t-shirt and not only 1 but 2 sweaters, a tight inside of my pant and a pair of warming socks hubby got for me from the pharmacy. Not forgetting that he bought me a tube of warming cream too. That's how crucial I already am within this phase of coldness. Besides, I feel fat within these layers of clothes.

Yesterday was quite sunny and I must say that I was quite relieved. Actually I think I'm starting to catch cold. My nostrils and throat feel hurt. Last night I was sneezing a couple of times and blowing on runny nose. A few days back hubby got the same symptoms too and on Tuesday he was down with cold. He came back as early as 10.00am since he couldn't stand the tiredness once the cold set in. So I was playing nurse and doctor for him until yesterday. He got quite an earful from me of haa tulah... jangan buat tu... kena buat ni... tula degil... dengar ke? and so on. Poor my not-so-little Baby Bucuk! Well... I nagged because I was worried sick and I cared a lot for you, that's why. So just live with it and let me be me okay ;P Now back to me... I think I got this from hubby. Who else?! I hope it is not worsening to real cold what more down with flu. Owh I just got to know 2 days ago while Googling how to prevent and cure cold and flu that cold and flu are actually different sicknesses but only their symptoms are quite the same. However flu is usually followed by fever and more severe compared to cold. Now hubby is playing doctor for me and he nagged me to take the medication. I haven't taken the pill yet because I don't like it. Don't tell him!

Talking about this reminds me of last year's winter when I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant with late Lil Munchkin. I was down with severe cold and flu. It was really one of the most tormenting moments in my life and miserable too! Owh it was hubby too who brought back the virus. I feel angry every time I remember about this because I don't understand why I wasn't given medication to cure the sickness when we went for check-up. Perhaps it was because of our fault too that we didn't insist and due to miscommunication the midwife and doctor thought it wasn't severe. Despite of the truth that I was in agony to catch every single of my breath every night. I cried in the middle of the night and slept in sitting position since lying down would only make me suffocating myself. Well my Hubby Bucuk being the forever great sleeper he is didn't realize what was happening at that time since he slept like a log until the morning. In fact he didn't know many things I used to do when he was asleep since the midnight until dawn. Of course now he already knew. Anyway... last time it took quite some times for me to recover. Since then I am so prone to catch a cold up until now. Maybe the immune system in my body hasn't been so good yet. Perhaps next time if I ever catch a cold or flu again when I'm pregnant I'm going to pester the doctor to prescribe me some medications by hook or by crook! Ayang, please take note of this!

The left side of my head and neck felt hurt too last night. Fortunately it already subsided a little especially after very helpful massages from hubby. Thanks Ucuk! XOXO :D Great thing about him is I can always bug him and be like a baby whenever I feel want to ;P ;P ;P I love being pampered especially when I don't feel physically or emotionally good hmmm~~~ Hey he too lurves being a baby okay ;P That's surely one of the things we share in common. By the way I always got headache at one side of my head especally on the left side since 6 months ago. Luckily most of the times it was just mild headache and it happened very rarely nowadays. Hopefully this is only because of wrong body posture and position or because of the settling hormones in the body. Hmmm, whatever.

Since it is already getting cold day by day, this is the major cause why I found it is so hard for me to blog at the moment. I'm experiencing brain-freezes, fingers-freeze, feet-freeze or by other words everything is getting freaking freezing on me and all around me :P :P :P Owh no! The heater is runned out of gas! Why now?! No, I won't fill the gas. I would rather stay freezing and wait hubby do the task for me ;P It's his job! Siannn lah siapa jadi husband dia ni? ;P Anyway I have listed down some things to do before going back holidaying in Msia. Some of them are of course souvenirs hunting for the families which will be done starting this weekend and spring cleaning the house like to clean up the toilet, kitchen, fridge and so on. I must make sure to leave the house looking gleaming, glowing, and refreshing filled with lovely fragrance so that it will welcome us in the most pleasant setting once we set our feets into the house later :D That surely gonna help us rejuvenating after the long hours journey. By the way, the first thing we wished to do once we reached the KL*A is to storm the K*FC. Arghhh I can't wait! :D Just so you know, I dreamt of eating K*FC's chicken a few nights ago goshhh! This is what happened when you have been away from home for so long. It has been 2 years plus since the last time we got back.

My foods-hunting list ;P

What else to tell? Well... nothing interesthing has been going on lately. Day in day out, everything is pretty much so mundane. I can't share everything in the blog so that left me with almost nothing ehee :D Owh yes, I was craving for cinnabon the other night. In fact I was salivating to sleep! It was all out of a sudden. No, I'm not pregnant duh~~~ and please be warned that is the LEAST favorable tease I wished to recieve. I planned to bake it on the tomorrow of the day but only to realize that the yeast had already finished once I had everything already readied on the table. So, I made some apam pisang instead. Very easy and yummy! Still, I'm planning to bake some cinnabon in time to come since I have like many more days to survive before I reached home soon. Sigh... I really want some!

Some foods.

Whereas these are a few pictures I took when we went up the hill near our village a fortnight ago. Living in this mountainous village make it common to be surrounded by mist and fog. But this is the picture of moving evening cloud during gloomy day. It was raining earlier in the afternoon. So the cloud was quite thick and low and on its way evaporating towards higher altitude. I never thought that I could actually get into the cloud. Seemed like another one of my dreams had actually come true. I DID get into the CLOUD! But... you can't actually jump from cloud to cloud, still. Those cartoons in TV are liars! ;P Actually, we wanted to capture last scenery of autumn from above the hill but we couldn't because the scenery was all vanished hidden within the cloud.

See how the moving cloud nearing the village below the hill at behind of us.

The mountainous autumn view in front of our house.

Sigh... since now the sun sets as early as as at 4.40pm... I use to feel very lonely and boring when it is already dark. I feel like I have to wait longer until hubby comes home from work. Perhaps this is because I'm not feeling well so I'm becoming more cranky and clingy towards him. Ucuk, please bear with me! *smooch-smooch*.

5 Years In Relationhip

Happy 5th In-Relationship Anniversary to my ever dearest hubby. So, 5 years ago today was the day hubby proposed me to be his girlfriend. We hadn't met each other yet at that time. In fact we only knew each other for only about a month before that. Still... I agreed to accept him as my boyfriend. Although our courtship period was very short which most of the time it happened in the cyberspace, despite of the progress was quite monotonous, I didn't give him much hard times wooing me and in fact he agreed it that it wasn't so thrilling during in the process of stealing my heart.... but still today I'm so glad that it happened anyway 5 years ago :D Not really a big number if compared to many other couples who had gone through like 8 or 10 years of kisah cinta agung before they finally tied the knot. Still, we are in the process of producing our own kisah cinta agung since we got married like 3 years and 9 month ago. I'm praying for more happines in many more years to come, InsyaAllah :) I love you so much Ayang Ucuk XOXO.

However there isn't gonna be any celebration whatsoever except that I'm gonna make some special dinner on today or tomorrow. Even on last night when I wished hubby before sleep he didn't have the idea that it is going to be another anniversary for today. He flatly said that he only wanted to remember the solemnization day, so less the date to remember :P He wished me too anyway, plus some cuddlings and kissings and we reminisced a bit back on the first day. Anyway... by special dinner means, we are going to have foods that I rarely serve on the dinner table. Well, nothing so special actually like burger, some fries and chips, mashed potatoes and some salads. We love burger. Especially for the fact that no place we could order burger in anywhere in this country, had actually turned us into big burger fan. I seldom make burger because it consumes so much time and energy. I have to actually make them from A-Z, you know the patty, the bun, the grilling the baking and so on haaah~~~! That are so many works to do. But still... it all worth it when we take the first bite on the burger then :)

By the way I am fasting today. I missed 14 days of fasting during the R*madhan. I even missed to fulfill my plan to fast during the Sy*wal. I didn't fast even for a single day after raya what more to reach 6 days :P This dawn, I had a doughnut with a plain water in the bed inside the thick blanket beside hubby who was snoring in his sleep. It was so cold! So I took the box containing the remaining 2 donuts from the kitchen and refilled my tumbler. I dozed back to sleep before getting up for the dawn prayer then. This morning while having breakfast hubby asked which doughnut I wanted while his hands were busy opening the box. He was shocked that he had no choice since I gobbled down the one with chocolate flavor earlier, and left him the one with custard flavor hehe ;P

I did the laundry right after hubby off to work since it was sunny in the morning. Unfortunately the sun was hidden right after that up until now duh~~~. In the meantime doing the laundry, I curled myself in bed with the heater on. After I completed with the laundry task, I went back to sleep until noon. I was so tired since I had quite a restless sleep last night. I kept waking up because I didn't feel comfortable with my stomach, the cold weather, the position and so on. I don't know why. Poor hubby that he keept awakened by my constant tossing and turning in bed too. Anyway, it occured in my mind this morning that... why do I always feel tired and hungry as early as getting up in the morning when I decided to fast on that day? Why I don't usually felt like that during the day when I didn't fast even though I didn't even eat for the whole day? ;P Huh... so... I don't feel energetic right now. Usually I would start preparing dinner after As*r prayer but as for today I'm gonna finish up some fried kueteow from last night's first for breaking fast later.

Owh yes, my main reason to blog today is because I wanted to tell what did I do on the weekend. Well, we went for autumn-viewing finally on the Saturday in G*fu. I forgot what is the name's place but it is quite a famous one too. There was calm and wide river far down the terrain and the splendid colors of leaves were all along the rocky terrain from above. The water was green in color and there were boats bringing the visitors to enjoy the view from below. But I didn't know where the port was actually situated at. The view was really enchanting which at one point, we thought that there were gold or coins thrown in the water by the visitors. Then only we realized that it were only the fallen yellow leaves from the trees above. The golden color leaves really sparkled from the surface of deep dark green river. However unfortunately, it was drizzling on that day. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy and misty too. So... we didn't get to see and capture the clear variety colors of the leaves. Or else the colors of the leaves would definitely be more shining and highlighting under the sun rays. By the way the place was actually situated beside the road and the are for the viewing was quite small too.

After about an hour there, we preceded towards T*ki. While we were on the way, we stopped at a restaurant parking area. There was a small garden there and there were beautiful trees with yellow and red color leaves. We spent some minutes taking pictures there too and really satisfied with the outcome :D We reached T*ki at about 1.00 pm. It was our first time going there. That is the nearest outlet from our place actually. Before this we had gone to N*gashima Outlet Mall in M*e-ken and K*ruizawa Prince Shopping Plaza in N*gano-ken. Well... since the place is quite new so there was no other places to visit all around the shopping outlet. The previous outlets we went have more beautiful architectures and scenery compared to T*ki's. We did some shopping of my needed stuffs. Honestly... I had been longing to buy those stuffs since quite some times and by having those stuffs, I could replace the old ones and make things a bit handy for me. Thanks Ayang for buying those things for me *smooch-smooch*! Yeah... you know it I don't have money and as you always said your money is also my money, right? So... I guess that should eliminate the guilt a little bit ;P We were there until about 3.30 pm before finally we decided to go home.

While on the way home, I fed hubby with some lunch box I prepared earlier. We were really starving since we didn't have anything in the between since after the breakfast at home. Actually I thought we could so some picnic under the trees if we found a suitable place and the weather was good. I brought along the picnic mat and stuffed everything in the picnic basket. Unfortunately there was no luck for us to picnic so we had to picnic behind the wheels instead :P We stopped at a R&R to perform prayers and finally reach home before 6.00 pm. Talking about performing prayers while outing. I always feel more comfortable to wear my telekung. Sometimes I would even wear the telekung complete with the bottom kain. Usually the clothes I wore were already covering my aurat from top to toe. But still I always insisted to hubby that I wanted to wear my telekung. Yeah... he always the one who had to stand the stares from others hehe ;P I didn't care though because I was busy praying and I knew that hubby was always there accompanying and guarding me ;P

Whereas on yesterday, we went out for autumn viewing again since the weather was quite better compared to the day before. But still it wasn't sunny in fact it was grey, misty, windy and cold. We went to the park near our home. There weren't many types of trees there and most of them were only orange and red in colors. But still we had fun taking pictures and they turned out very beautiful too :D If only we had a DSLR camera they would be even perfect ;P Then, we went to the suppa... ate and took away some doughnuts and bought some groceries. We reached home when it was already dark. So basically, that was it how our weekend took place. It seemed like the luck wasn't really on our side since past weekends because the weather had been gloomy all the time. Perhaps better luck next week? InsyaAllah. But I hope the trees won't go even halfy naked yet :D

Autumn-viewing pictures taken in G*fu and in our place. (Gambar2 actually lawa tapi jadi tak okay bila upload dalam Ph*tobucket tatau la nape)

Foods I prepared recently.

Honestly I am really not in the mood to update the blog nowadays, even for bloghopping, leaving comments, replying comments or even to say hi. I'm so sorry guys if I just keep being silent. I feel like I'm so occupied with stuffs or is it because of the brain-freeze? Somehow sometimes it makes me feel good just to keep silent and ignorant from what is happening outside of my world :) But still as for today... I'm making an effort to blog also because I wanted to tell about my blogger friend Yatie who is organizing quizes in her blog and the winner will get the chance to receive gifts posted directly form her in Dubai, UAE! Actually I kinda late in promoting her blog but I guess better late than never, right ;D Opsss be warned that you gonna need to read this entry or this which listed down all the regulations and conditions ruled by her first, before you are qualified to take part in her quizes. You might still have the chance to win something from her so go click her blog now!

Last but not least, I found THIS while blog-hopping. I always have this kind of thinking even though I'm not a millionaire, YETTTx1000. So it was really surprising that I got to find a real millionaire who have the same point of view and actually living by it, everyday! This is really inspiring and different from the usual typical thinking most people usually have in mind. Come on, do spend some minutes and take a look at it! :D
