Kejap ado kejap takdo

Eh. Camno boley hilang the first 11 questions bawah tu? Ish... gilo blogketuat nih. Malas ah nak correct.

Anyways, hubby also the same. Now you see him, now you don't. Baru sampai semalam, today gone already. Aiseh, susah lah hidup jejauh nih. Buttt....nak buat camno. Surprisingly, even when both of you were so used to living alone for many (many) years, when you've hooked up all lovey dovey, you do miss your significant other terribly when they're gone. Not that we yap much throughout the day, but just the presence of the other person makes you feel so at ease. And when he's gone, suddenly the emptiness hits you on your face unexpectedly like someone's silent fart. It stinks man.

Miss you N.

Stockholm Syndrome

OK, not quite the title (for the real definition click here). But we had a lovely time in Stockholm, we really wish we didn't have to leave!

I'm still knackered, arrived 2 am last night and had to work this morning. Eukh. I will be flat out in a bit. Pictures to come once I'm done trying to figure out how the hell to JPEG a raw format pic. I have N to blame, why can't you just pick an easy setting and be done with it? Men, I tell you.

We packed a lot to see in 4 days, but I think we did well. Food was good although struggled to really find a real swedish dish (that we can eat anyways). In fact the best meal I had was this gorgeous Norwegian grilled salmon lol. Nevermind eh, as long as within the spirit of scandinavian :D. Since we both had to stick with vegetarian or seafood, afraid we had to skip the Swedish meatballs. The closest N got to it was when he had to share the sauna room at the hotel with a naked Swedish man (I bet the balls were cooked well done! haha!). Songsang betul mat swedish nih, kesian laki aku heehee...

But bloody hell aren't things expensive in Sweden! Now I have to go check my bank balance...more updates when I have the will, and money to live.

Just another Manic Monday

Oh boy what a day. 7pm at work and I was still typing my referrals.

I felt good today though. A patient of mine came in this afternoon to see me, I've only seen her twice before. Poor woman unfortunately losing her hearing for the past few years following mini strokes and infections after another. It got her so down that she was so depressed, but has always put a brave face on especially with her family. She felt the medical professionals have brushed her off all these many years. I guess you don't realised how awful it would be when one of your 5 senses taken away from you.

She did struck me as depressed initially, you know one of those heart sinking patient, you thought whatever you say she will not take it in. But the two times I saw her, as much as I could not offer her miracles to cure her problems, all I could offer was time to listen. She made me run 20 mins late the first time, and 50 mins late on the second encounter.

However, she came back today with the first smile I've ever seen, infact many of it throughout the consultation. She told me that on the day she saw me for the first time, she was already contemplating to 'end it all', infact with details of ways to do it without 'leaving a mess behind' for her beloved family. She walked into my surgery, in her own words 'as a last try to seek some hope'. She thanked me profusely for the time I gave her, that she felt she's finally listened to. The 2nd consultation made her realised, that the heavy baggage she carried with her which pulled her down so much all these while, in fact was just little things in accummulation. And as she picks these things out of 'the bag' bit by bit, they were not as intimidating as she thought they might be.

We had 30mins chat today (this time I got her to book in a triple appointment). At the end of it, she gave me a good hug, and told me I have saved her life.

And I did not do anything heroic at all, just listened. It felt worth every second of it.

Double effects

Today started at 1130am :D. I don't normally 'sleep in' on weekends but didn't have a good sleep last night. I dreamt something that wasn't pleasant, although I didn't remember waking up in between. And without N here this weekend, I have no one to annoy and bully too early in the morning. *sobs*

For some reason Nickelback's song Savin' Me seemed to got stuck in my head now. I first heard the song cover by Ana Free on youtube. She's this Portuguese born American accent girl who posted quite a lot of videos of herself playing guitar and singing on youtube. Nice voice, lovely face, 'dontcha wish yer gf was hot like me' kinda physique. Just the lot really (honest, I'm not jealous heehee..). Anyways her version was slow and justsweet. N laughed when he heard it and showed me the original song by Nickelback. He said she killed the song, mocking her version (tensen betul). At first I absolutely dislike it, I hate headbanging type sounds but eventually the original seems to hook on me better now. Plus, the original video clip is interesting, spooky but in a clever way. If you've not seen it before, check it out here.

Ana Free's version here; (ok i just realised i don't know feck about adding links in lol!hope it works) .


So, watcha think? Any preference. See what I mean about the NB's spooky video clip? Ok stop airwaving top of your head *titters*.

Anyways, caught up with my good friend Darina today and her beautiful ever fast growing twins. Oli's flirting with me as ever with his gorgeous smile and showing off his milestones skills. Isabella is now starting to come out of her shell, and makes a LOT of noises. So adorable! I got to feed her today and she wouldn't stop rocking during feed that the spoon almost went into her nose! Girl looks like dad, and boy looks like mum, I mean how perfect is that?!

I wonder what mine would look like. I do get the occasional broodiness, but I blame it all on hormones and crap. We decided we'll leave another 2 years before trying, mostly to get more settled in terms of where to live etc. And will definitely need a bigger place than this should we contemplate having a family. I love this place, my first ever pad bought with my hard earned money, with so many memories to it. But I suppose we all have to move on, and I am definitely ready for a much bigger place.Me want me own garden so me can golek golek like hindustan around the flower beds ya know!

Friday 9 October 2009

Me and hubby are off to Stockholm for a long weekend next week. Weehay! I can't damn wait. I've always wanted to try and finish off Scandinavia, although this will only be my 2nd Scandinavian trip after Norway years ago.

We got really cheap Ryan air flight tickets for £20 the two of us (seriously...can't complain). And not spending a penny on hotel as we got it free using airmiles I collected for yonks. So considering we're going to a well known expensive city, I think we can leg it and get to splurge on more important things like...err...food?

I had N all excited on this.... 3 hours of endless shrimp buffets cruise around Stockholm archipelagos!! *screams...dies...wakes up..and screams again*.

But then, we had a look at the date, and it's only running until September! feck! Swedish are such teasers.

*Sighs* oh well nevermind.

Now that I've ended my single days...

I have never been a good diary keeper. Nevertheless I thought I'd create this entirely for personal use and reminder of plenty of good memories (praying much less of bad ones).

I finally got married to a wonderful man on the magical date of 060609, followed by a simple yet unforgettable civil wedding day on the 110709, attended only by family and very close friends. Lots of pic to show off but this shot is my favourite. I don't just look happy I AM happy!



Believe it or not I still have 2 weddings to go! Talk about 4 weddings (hopefully without a funeral following..eik). Looking forward to have my Malaysian wedding on the 201209, and then my first ever trip hopefully to meet peeps in India :D.
