good tea good time

i would continue rambling on the maid permit thingy but i'd rather not to today because i get stressed just thinking about it @_@.

me and a bunch of friends have been talking about how people these days don't really appreciate what they have, i guess i've forgotten because lately God's giving me a bunch of challenges these days to face on my own @_@. and they say God will never hand you more that what you can chew...

so does that me a strong woman? or am i just someone who's recently been making a bunch of decisions-gone-wrong? hah.

then the conversation started straying up North and i realized i have no idea what 'ciwi' means and my peeps started laughing at me. hmm. must ask Mahani if she's heard of 'ciwi' =P.

anyway, not going to ponder on the not-so-fun-to-think-about issues for now. the purpose i'm creating this entry is to talk about Chatime. you know that little shop that sells bubble tea and dunno what other concoctions? i didn't know they had one open in MV. my colleague came back up to the office and handed me the pamphlet a few days ago. i've seen the line at Pyramid last weekend and it was crazy long @_@.

so today since my team is stuck at the office working late due to some hot fix that needs to be completed with each of us executing some stuff simultaneously, my friend shishi (happy birthday yo~) offered to go downstairs and take orders. so i took this opportunity to order Pearl Milk tea... whatever that is. i just saw the photo in the pamphlet of what looks like tea with black bubbles in it, and the bubbles were really intriguing. hentam saja laboo~.

the pamphlet at my cubicle haha

Pearl Milk Tea

there are different drink categories, depending on what you're looking for. you have the choice of size (regular or large), the option to add additional toppings for rm1, sugar AND ice options! (non-sugar, extra-ice perhaps...). you can find out more about it at their website. they even have a Facebook page. i've only tasted one drink so i can't really comment much about it. you wait til i've tried a couple more to comment =D.

not bad la if you're a fan of these types of drinks. me likey. it's much cheaper than Starbucks, although it ain't coffee (there is a selection of coffee beverages though... but no bubble coffee kahkahkah). i could get addicted to this eventually. but at the moment i am soo liking the air mata kucing downstairs at LG floor (i forgot the name) - at least that's what i think it is, for all i know (being buta-buah and all) it could be longan hahaha. it's way cheaper than Chatime, and it helps boost production too =P.

a little something on the kids:

my little Dinara is down with fever this morning, she was cranky all night with her blocked nose. pacifier duwan, susu also duwan. i ended up being sleep-deprived T_T. took her to the clinic at Section 7, she was given fever meds and some drops for her runny nose. she didn't even mind the Dr sticking that stick down her throat (her throat was clear, thank goodness). she weighs 6kg now, which really surprised me from her 5.4kg last month haha. i guess she really does have a heftier appetite than her elder sister ever did last time.

(she differs from her sister in lots of ways, while being similar in others. lol)

these days Dinara will not sleep until she's pooped for the night. once she's pooped, she'll be off to lala land. she can climb over obstacles now, so piling a bunch of pillows is no longer an option. i let her crawl freely on the floor in my bedroom, i stepped out only to find her a few seconds later on the floor in our bathroom T_T. she finds the bathroom mat fascinating too @_@.

her hair is really wispy thin, the maid's been asking to cut her fringe but i keep refusing =P. she hums each time i sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Dayana loves being the 'police' around Dinara. she'll quickly scoop up everything and put them far away from Dinara's reach. only certain toys are permitted for Dinara to play. the other day i got soo mad at her because i found the living room in a total crayon-ny mess: she found one stray crayon lying around and proceeded to color the floor, the door, the wall, the table, the astro decoder, our OSIM foot massager, the glass cabinets (inside and out) and ALSO the surround speakers!!! @#(*)$#&*$. she's no longer a die-hard Mickey fan, but is now a 'Doya' fan. tengok Dora seribu satu kali pun ok @_@. heck, tgh2 malam boleh bangun, say 'nak Doya!' then promptly tido balik. aiyak.

one time i wanted to change Dayana's diaper and you know what she did? she held out her hand at me and yelled 'Swiper no SWIPING! STOP! STOP!'

sometimes she's go around asking, 'what color's Mommy's baju? what color's the remote control?' etc etc. and each time she'll answer 'it's GEEEEN'. @_@ i still don't understand what she's trying to tell me sometimes.
