Overly High Maintenance Women~

No no no.I’m not talking about us, women being financially high-maintenance. It’s about emotionally high-maintenance.  I always wonder why I always failed in a relationship. After a few months, guys will gradually start to lose interest in me. Leaving me wondering why…

Then, in those moping (Yeah silly me!) sessions, I often blame myself for not being beautiful enough (I’m an average gal with little nose bridge and toothy gap), not smart enough etc until it broke me. I’ve become a girl with self-esteem of -80 degree Celsius (Brrr..Brrr).

Then one day, I’ve been re-reading my November 2010-issue CLEO and I stumbled upon this article. “The BIGGEST Relationship Mistakes Women Make”.  One mistake HIT me like a big rock falling out of the sky (Ouch!). “Women being overly high-maintenance”. Men usually can accept us being financially high-maintenance, ESPECIALLY if we buy them ourselves. It’s being emotionally high-maintenance that makes men running away, far far away from us...

Emotionally high-maintenance women need a lot of attention, pick on the smallest missteps, are highly sensitive, being too needy, and worst of all, expecting men to have sudden ability of reading our minds.  Sure, no woman wants to be like that but when we become so comfortable with him that we started to let our insecurities conquering us. That’s when things started to get ugly.

It got me thinking. Yes I have to admit, I’m overly emotionally high-maintenance. I always expect my partner to READ my mind.Muahahaha.If like that, I should have just date Professor X from X-Men instead.Hahahaha. I NEED to change. I WILL and I WANT to change. Are you gals like me? Please does change before our men start avoiding our calls and SMSes. Before we start blaming others and before we start our self-criticism which will eventually cost our self-esteem lead to our self-destruction. I’ve been there. Now I’m proud owner of myself, proud of my achievements and GRATEFUL with everything HE has granted me with.  

I'm not pretty and I'm grateful for it~

Paddington House of Pancakes and Me~

When I first spotted Paddington House of Pancakes was when I was out with my mom (leaving my little brothers behind with my dad *evil laugh*) looking for accessories to match her new blouse. Both avid pancake lovers, we tried and love them instantly. Crispy on the outside, smooth with melt-in-the-mouth-feeling on the inside.  Then when I’m back to UPM, she dragged my dad and my little brothers to this place. They also (ahem! except for my second brother) loving this place. Dad keeps chanting “Paddington, Paddington”.  And he even goes as far as by saying he dreamt of Paddington. Yeah right Dad! You’re just making thousand excuses to go there…Hahaha…Well with me going back there with The Architect, makes me missing my wacky family even more! T_T

My latte..*love love*

Here is where I got my very own decorative latte (err..actually I dunno the proper term for this and I'm too lazy to ask Uncle Google so I simply made it up..*putting an innocent face*)…I always see and watched them but never really had one. So here is my first official decorative latte. And the The Architect had to ruin my glorious moment by saying it’s hideous. Cis! Hahahaha…Whatever… I still wanna gloated over my first latte… J

Chips + bacon bits with 3 types of cheese-based dips..yummy!

American stacks with maple syrup..my usual order..but not that day..

I seriously forgot it's name..*lengai*

I wanna try new stuff that day, so I've decided to take this..This mini-pancakes with ice-creams, little cute marsmallows, strawberries and bananas served with chocolate fondue. Kinda fun eating them but word of warning though, if you have small and 'mengada' stomach like me, please SHARE them..Hahaha..

Then we watched RIO.......

What do I think about this movie?? Well, it's entertaining..I had a few big laughs and..........that was it...the plot is kinda forgettable..Yeah, the moment you step out from the cinema, you'll forget about it. This movie doesn't really gives big out-of-cinema impact..But it was really worth watching it..It's not like you keep looking at your watch waiting for this movie to finish.. :)

Oh how I wish I can buy new books...... :(

Ok that's it..

That's the story of Anne-Jalil

Boring??

Tu haaa tekan pangkah..

Sapa soh baca...

Muahahahahaha...

Alas~Macaroons

Peeps!! Remember my gila-nak-makan-macaroon entry?? Tak hengat?? Cis!! Hahaha.. Klik syinie yer..So that day, my friends asked to me to go to tadaaaa...Levain Boulangerie Patisserie...bagaikan orang mengantok di sorongkan bantal..terus melompat kesukaan.. :)

These colorful bite-sized pastry are SIMPLY delightful! They tasted just like I had imagined them to be..Sweet, crispy on top, soft and chewy in the middle and delightful yummylicious fillings..Well, my friends aren't really fond of them because they're too sweet..Well, I simply LOVE them..oooh~

Levain~loveee..

The sweet selections..

Ours....nami nami!

Half-gone macaroons..most of them were in my tummy!

Pwetty aight??

The price is RM3.90/macaroon..But if we buy 10 or more, the price is down to RM3/piece..A bargain for 1st timer like me..My favourite?? Would be the macchiato and the arancia (orange flavoured)..The durian-flavored is a no no to me *i'm not a durian lover* :(

Will I be coming back again for more?? OF COURSE! But I would really like to try them at other places so that I can compare..

I'm NOT the delightful sweet little stuff..hahaha..just want shiok sendiri :)

Ok dah dumok..jom balik sit-ups~

*lovee*

My Diary and Me

While I was cleaning out my "rubbish' box (because it was filled with junks!), I stumbled upon my 2008 diary and sat down and read it (sigh, there goes my semangat spring cleaning)..And hoooo-boy! The way my 2008-self wrote, I can see that I was soo immature and childish..I laughed at my own foolishness.. I was like a spoiled school girl who didn't get what she wants..Believe me, if this 2008-me IS my little sister, I already tampar her laju-laju..hahaha..

Way too much different from the mature-woman image that I always dream to be..Until now..But there is one thing I've realized, I'm learning and becoming less immature from time to time..I'm not saying I'm mature now, but I'm a lot calmer now..More towards positive and rational thinking..

But reading my 2008 diary, there are a few things that remained unchanged.. My never-ending love conflict, I'm still lazy as hell (with a few oh-I-need-to-change mood coming and going..hahaha) and I still keep putting things off even though they're important..As I said before and I'm going to say this millionth times in the future, I will try my hardest to change. I've realized now, because of my bad habits, they're costing me my dreams. Well, mistakes are NEVER mistakes..They were called experiences. And oh! I still loves reading like hell..Hehehe..I love my current diary now, as I can see the transition from negative me to more positive me. Who knows, one day I will become the woman I dream of.. :)

My 2011-self..muahahaha..

My current diary..Point to be noted..This is not typical bangun-gosok gigi-mandi type of entry..hahaha..

..hahahaha..no top secret in my first entry.. :)

When Men Bake and Cook

It's a notion that tickles me..Men nowadays are far more talented in cooking rather than us women..For example, have you noticed that well-famed chefs are majority dominated by the XY God's creature?? Ok, just focused on my small examples instead..

My dad and my lil' bro..When they cook..hurm..how to put it..depa katok, campak masuk periuk, katok, campak masuk periuk..kacau-kacau..campak (campak BUKAN measure) garam etc..tutup api..siap..hiasan??serious dah macam sampah tengok...rasa????MARVELOUS gilaa...nak lagi!!!

When me and my mom cook..hiris bawang cantik-cantik..bagi minyak panas..tumis bawang..bagi wangi..masak masuk garam pun, hati-hati..sikit demi sikit..lepas tu beratus kali panggil ibu rasa..tak cukup..tambah lagi sikit..panggil mangsa lain plak rasa..tak cukup..tambah lagi sikit garam (by that time, ikan pun dah hancur)..hiasan makanan gilang-gemilang..rasa???boleh laaa...or..ok laaa..or..(muka jadik hijau)..

You girls have been in my place?? Ever wonder how THE men cook campak-campak yet produce a marvelous dish?? And we girls masak ikut protokol and yet can't over stage them?? Hahaha..

Well, another example..my male cousin gave me his homemade cheesecake (that looks inedible..*angkat kening*)..but..a spoonful of it just literally made me swoon..Ridiculously yummy despite its looks..

Owh..I really had to show off that beautiful planner of mine..hahaha

A spoonful that made me swoon

By less than 15 mins, this is all that left..hahaha..

I'm so happy eating that I had to 'gedik-ally' posted on my facebook page..

Me baking?? Muahahaha..

Chef Wan has to be send to psychiatric ward after supervising my baking techniques..

*wink wink* 

Apabila Otak Berfikir Secara Last Minit (Liam Neeson: Si Tua Yang Masih Hot)

Again,another entry I’ve keep putting off because…here’s the reason…”gambar semua dengan Mah, tak sempat nak transfer sebab busy kot??”..padahal bilik beliau di bawah bilik I je..Gila pemalas kan??Hahaha..Okay okay.. enough rubbish talk..

This was supposed to be a casual dinner (dinner??siang terang benderang lagi kot..)..okay-okay..early dinner with heart-2-heart session (or issit kutuk-mengutuk session??)..Dinner @Nim’s Island..Tak perlu intro kot bout this café sebab dah famous gila vavi..Sambil makan sambil mengipas lalat..serious turn-off gila..sebelah tangan potong makanan sebelah lagi halau lalat..next time bawak kelambu please!

Mode perasan-owner-dslr-padahal-camera-phone-ja..hahaha..

Lamb chop yang yummy nammy..slurrps!

Soda ceria yang menceriakan hari anda

Si pemakan yang happy

Si pemakan yang chubby..

So masa on the way balik, terkeluar la words bowling (actually Mah cerita pasal dia sucks main bowling hari tu..) and jeng jeng jeng..otak 5 minit pun berkata…”Jom main bowling??” (sambil angkat kening)

To cut the story short, kitorang gi Alamanda and gila vavi mahal price bowling per game..RM9/game + shoes..Rasa macam mau tertanggal gigi I yang makin kurang ni..Tapi sebab gedik gegeh nak main jugak, bayar je..(sumpah next time tak datang dah..dah la tak best..)..

Mari berposing sebelum membaling~

Dah abes tu, baru kol 8.30 malam, tempat bowling plak sebelah je dengan wayang..maka..hahaha..boleh agak dah kot..tengok plak wayang..we chosed Unknown (sebab I dari hari tu gedik gegeh nak tengok cerita ni despite reviewers kasik 2 bintang ja)..Well, to us, this story is good..Well, I’m not saying the plot is so wow-homaigod-best-gila-sampai-terangkat-bulu-roma..no no..but it has the element that I love..TWISTED PLOT..I always dig twisted plot..

Oh Liam~ >_<

Morals of The Story:

1.       I sucks at bowling

2.       Liam Neeson, si tua yang sangat hot..hihihihi…

Dah..

I nak wat kerja yang selalu tertangguh..

Buh-bye~

The Case of Free 2 McD Big Breakfast~

Well, nobody dislike free stuffs right??Even though you have to purchase something in order to redeem the free stuffs..Well, I'm one of you guys..Hahahaha *Shin Chan style*..So when I got this coupon, I was..ehem..super gedik..hahaha..sanggup bangun awal especially when I heard stories from fellow suka-benda-free-walaupun-kena-beli-barang-lain-dulu..Quite horror..Long queues and if they come late, they can kiss the big breakfast goodbye..Oh no! (tampar pipi sambil buat mata bulat macam cerita Home Alone..hihi)..

Little White Cafe

I've been meaning to do a review about this designer cafe like a week ago and keep putting it off (and babbled bout chocolates for my lil' bros instead..ahahaha)..

Well, I spotted this cute English-concept cafe at Bangi when we went to Wong Solo for our lunch..Then I dragged along another keen suka-try-try-makan-kat-tempat-baru-kalau-tak-best-tak-payah-datang-dah fellow a.k.a my former roommate..

Upon entering, we were awed with the cafe decoration..Very English..feels like we're now at a small town in England and decided to have tea together-gether (okay gedik jamban..haha)..We chosed a promotional tea for two set (RM53++) with big teapot of tea (we have to choose between Earl Grey and English Breakfast and we chosed Earl Grey) and assorted sweet treats like scones,cream-filled meringues, choco-dipped strawberries etc..

The front view of the cafe

Mouth-watering aight??

Part of the deco

The menu

Our Their beautiful teapot

The kasik-gigi-rosak treats.. ;p

They do served main dishes...you can take a peek at their prices.. =__=" 

The Sweet Treats:

They don't called this a designer cafe for nothing..The environment really gave you this warm,calming effect with a bit of mode perasaan-belajar-oversea..Their Earl Grey tea is superbly delicious..The taste is far different from your typical Boh/Lipton tea..This is the first time budak kampung cam saya minum teh mahal gila babeng..Tapi memang worth it..I really dig their meringues..Melts in your mouth..Their strawberries are gargantuan in size..Yes,they're a bit pricey but from your first glimpse,you can already know that they used high-quality ingredients and does not skimp with ingredients..Hey,you get what you pay..One of their concepts that I really approve of is~they do put their menu outside the cafe so that the customers can browse the prices and decide whether they can afford it or not before they go inside and save them from literally humiliate themselves (you know, the typical "owh-mahal-gila-babeng-jom-kuar-tinggal-waiter-yang-sedia-nak-ambil-order-terkebil-kebil")..

The Sour Treats:

Like I wrote in the sweet treats, it's kinda pricey..Not for students like us..And their scones are quite dry (I like mine a bit moist)..Will we be coming back again??Urm unless,we're a pair of high-powered well-paid scientists (amin~),we MAY not.. :)

The Camwhoring Section

Please bear with our bajet poses~

The horror..The bill.. T____T

Ok dah miskin..

Jom balik~

Darn Toodles I Miss Them Banyak-Banyak

Sempena family tercinta nak mai esok (oh no to be exact, around 9 pm TODAY,*gediiik*), I yang OVER ecstatic (sebab rindu gila babeng kat dorang) serta overgedik jamban, dah buat lawatan tak rasmi ke Kilang Beryls kat Seri Kembangan (dekat jeee dengan UPM) untuk memborong coklat untuk di'mamam' oleh adik-adik notty yang tercinta ni..Ayah allergic sweet stuffs since he was diagnosed with diabetis like 8-9 years ago..Kalau offer kat dia sweet stuffs, muka dia akan twist and turn (macam Twisties BBQ) horror gila macam kita suruh dia minum racun..hahahahaha..

Lil bros yang notty-notty ni..nanti mam chocolate banyak-banyak taw..

Family yang dirindu dan dinanti-nantikan..cepat laaa mai..huhu

Saya rindu dengan 3 ekor budak pocoyos yang comot tomei ni...

Adik No.2 yang macho serta suka sungguh perasap kawasan rumah (sebab ayah cakap "rumah kita penuh nyamuk aedes, so kementerian kesihatan dah tugaskan Nazmi Jalil untuk hapuskan nyamuk aedes ni") tak dapat follow sebab praktikal..sedih sebab tak lengkap...

Penghapus nyamuk aedes bergambar bersama alat penghapus.. +_+"

Tak sabaaar..

Semoga dorang selamat sampai..amiin..

Berdebar-debar..

Cewwah macam nak jumpa boyfie plak esok..

Dah la AnneJalil..tidoq tidoq..

Gegeh serta gedik jamban plak dia di malam yang masih muda ini..

ZzzzzZzz..

The Adjustment Bureau

I initially wants to watch Unknown but the movie is not yet available (I think so) at TGV Mines, so I had to choose the movie with suitable timing (I ada curfew UPM T_T)..Oh well, wanna say thanks a million to Driver because I'm so gedik jamban nak pegi The Mines sebab nak rasa cinema baru renovate, and I beritahu last minit, dah terlajak,tapi demi melayan my gedik gegeh ni, kami kembali ke jalan lurus..lalu kawasan perumahan demi The Mines..

Ok enough ads, back to main subject..The movies up to our choices are Rango (driver dah kembang hidung sebab cite kartun), Hikayat Mehrong Mahawangsa (sepantas kilat driver buat signal X) and tadaaaa..The Adjustment Bureau..We decided on this movie because yalah, ada Matt Damon kot..mesti gempak..poster promo pun gempak..bajet cita ala-ala The Bourne Supremacy la (ye ye..I'm a noob tak baca sinopsis dulu but hello,I bajet nk tengok Liam Neeson kot)

Gempak kan??

The rating??Errrr..How do I begin..hurm..okay I won't bothered to even rate it..The only 3 words I can came up with are.....

WHAT THE HECK......???

I just didn't get this movie (no no I do understand the plot), it's predictable and very very very disappointing...

The only thing that made my trip worthwhile is the newly-renovated TGV Mines..Good job guys..But the toilets remained berbelit-belit-boleh-sesat-wooo...Couple seat dia gila exclusive..I dok seat biasa ja..Tapi mata terbuntang la tengok keindahan seat tu..Memang different from old TGV Mines yang dulu even ada kes tikus main kejar-kejar dalam tu..

Ehem*throat clearing*

I ended up commenting the cinema instead..but you get my points..

1.45 am..Jom bumbum..

ZzzzZzz

Mari Melebarkan Badan...

Pagi-pagi dah dapat panggilan cinta dari pakgad UPM soh ubah keta sebab ada proses pembaikan jalan..so dah alang-alang turun awal pagi dah mandi,mesti la merayap kejap..walaupun hanya ke McD Sri Serdang tu..sekarang mode tangkap-leleh-abes dengan breakfast set kat McD..masyuk..so dengan tamaknya..amek 2 set Sausage McMuffin with Egg..Tamak kan??Tapi percaya la...habeeeees... :p
