1. SHOW WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Easily my favourite episode of the season so far! Quite possibly my absolute favourite comedic episode EVER.

Supernatural 5.08 )

2. Also, thanks to those who posted those pics of Jensen and Danneel! I love how gorgeous both of them are together! And that short interview they gave was so adorable, I may have just died of the cute!

I spotted the huge rock on her finger. Are they engaged?

ETA: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *please don't break up please don't break up please don't break up*

3. RL stuff. Little chubby has started eating solids. I gave her her first taste over the weekend. She's still trying to get the hang of eating with a spoon, but she seems to be doing okay with the food itself. She seems to prefer if hubby fed her though. When I tried to feed her, she'd keep glancing over at hubby, until he took over. Such a daddy's girl. :)

Back to work now. Be good, flist!

*hugs all around*

Look who's 6 months old today! ♥ ♥ ♥



I can't believe she's half a year old already.. Where did the time go?? It feels like only yesterday when she was just this tiny little bundle, and now she's a big girl already. *wibble*

Alright, I'm gonna head home now to smish my little squishy.

Take care, flist! And have a good weekend!

*hugs all around*

Short update because I'm super duper busy!

First off, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to the lovely [info]frickangel ! So sorry I'm late sweetie, but I did think of you on your birthday! I just missed wishing you! (excuses excuses)

Also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to the wonderful [info]buffyaddict13 ! I hope your day was full of rainbows and sparkly zombies! (I'm actually hoping I still get this in time!)

Also also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the lovely [info]fo_poozle ! Hope it's a good one for you!

Also also also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my big bro! Hope there's cake!

In other news, my little chubby will be 6 months old on Friday! Which means that (a) I managed to exclusively breastfeed her for the first 6 months! and (b) she'll be starting on solid foods soon! I'm super excited!

Apparently my periods were kidnapped by exclamation marks! That's okay!

I gotta go now!

*Looks around*

I changed my layout.

And since I'm super lazy (and somewhat layout-changing illiterate), I just grabbed one from the LJ themes. This looks pretty and different from my previous layout.

Haha I just realized that I've just changed from a black background theme to one that's all sweet and happy, and shouldn't I have done it the other way around instead, seeing as it's almost Halloween? :D

I think I wanna change my mood theme too. Anyone know where I can find some? I like em animated.

So yeah, that's about it for now. NEW SHOW TOMORROW!

*hugs all around*

First of all, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was AWESOME!!!! If you get a chance to watch it in 3D, please do! You won't regret it! The character Flint is such an adorable nerd. I kinda want to incorporate his 'make your own sound effects and narrate everything you do' in my daily life. LOL it would certainly add a bit of excitement to an otherwise mundane task. ("Typing! dundundundundun Fixing! dundundundundun Uploading cool voice! Engage coffee break!" HAHAHA) It was such a fun movie, and I love all the characters. Plus, watching food fall from the sky is always entertaining. :D

Also, MR. T!!! One of the most amusing characters ever! :D :D :D

In other news, hi there weekend! When did you get here? To me, Fridays mean (a) download Supernatural in the morning, and (b) get all my work done so I can go home early and catch up on my TV shows (besides Supernatural, I have yet to watch the new ep of House, and FlashForward).

So, yep. I'm gonna clear out those pesky deadlines, so that I'll be able to have a guilt-free weekend.

Take care, guys!

*hugs all around*

I was about to post an entry, when this ad appears on my screen:




Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that supposed to determine whether or not you are colour blind? And has nothing to do with one's level of intelligence?

In other news, I'm gonna watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs in 3D tonight! *bounce*


This post is brought to you by the letter SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Brothers
[info]rieyll

Okay, SPN 5.05? THAT'S the show I fell in love with! MY BOYS ARE BACK!!!! Dean cracking jokes at inopportune moments! Sam doing research! Sam got choked! Dean got thrown into a tree! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Can you tell I kinda missed those Monster of the Week eps? *g*

It's quite possibly the first episode of the season that made me squee and flail and squee and flail from start to finish! Oh, lemme just point out that hubby totally squeed (very manfully, of course lol) when he saw the car in the teaser. He was all, THAT'S JAMES DEAN'S CAR!!!! :D

Oh, and the "SOON" montage? KILLED ME DED! Especially THAT scene! You guys know exactly which scene I'm talking about! I'm totally gonna make my brother (who's a HUGE Horatio Caine fan) watch that ep! Heeeeeee!!!

Speaking of, will there be a hiatus coming up? Or is the "SOON" promo just there to hype up the show's somewhat dwindling fanbase?

On another note, I stumbled upon this interview of ADORABLE from [info]book_choco_loco . AIEEEEEAIAIAEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! *flaily hands* BOOOYYYYSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reading this made me go, Misha who? LOL

Don't get me wrong, I adore Misha, but sometimes his craziness eclipses the awesomeness that is J2's bromance AND I MISSED MY BOYS DAMMIT! I loved that they're both talking about each other (instead of just themselves) and being all teasing and adorable and AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

My fave part of that interview?

Jensen: ... sometimes we also tell each other that we’ll hopefully be able to work together again soon.
Jared: In other words: soon you might also be able to book us as a duo!

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE SHOWS AND MOVIES WITH THE BOTH OF YOU THANKYOUVERYMUCH!!!

I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
Brothers
[info]rieyll
You know how sometimes, you hear a song on the radio, and you sing along, but you don't really know the words, so you just make them up? My family tends to do that quite a bit.

When I was a tiny tot, I would sing along to Boy George's 'Karma Chameleon', but the part where he sings "You come and go", I sang it as "You kambing goat", which is actually redundant, since "kambing" is the Malay word for goat. :D  I was probably about 4 or 5 back then, so I get a free pass. LOL

Here are a few other gems that I can think of off the top of my head:

Allure & 112's "All Cried Out"

The actual words: "Don't you know my tears will cause an inferno"

Our version varies from "my tears won't go any further" to "my tears will cause an infertile" (WTF?? Hahaha)

Scorpion's "Wind of Change"

The actual words:

"I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change"

My brothers' version:

"Follow the my son
Go to go to park
Weewee in the wind
CHAAAAAAAANNNGGEEE"

I'm inclined to believe that my younger brother cooked this up when he was a kid, but I can't be sure. The funny thing is, they insist on singing it with those words all the time!

Scorpion's "Still Loving You"

The actual words: "I will be there"

My version: "I ambulance"

Hey, I was a wee kid when I sang that! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :D

Atomic Kitten's "The Tide is High" (Sorry, I have no idea who is the original singer!)

The actual words: "The tide is high and I'm holding on"

Hubby's version: "The tide is high and I don't know why"

At least hubby's version makes some sort of sense. I think. :D

And finally, the classic one from my older brother:

Macy Gray's "I Try"

The actual words: "My world crumbles when you are not here"

My brother's version: "I wore goggles when you are not here"

Yeah, I don't know either. LOL

How about you guys? :D

Okay, I admit it. I'm probably one of the very very VERY few people who did not LOVE 5.04. *ducks* I'm not entirely sure why. In fact, I keep feeling like something is 'off' this season. I do have massive amounts of love for Show, and I know that Kripke and co will blow my mind in eps to come.

Back to 5.04, like I said, I'm somewhat "meh" after watching it. BUT! [info]siscokid98 recced these fics, and not only have both fics killed me ded, I now have a burning urge to rewatch 5.04. And also, these are now my personal canon, thankyouverymuch.

*spoilers for 5.04, obviously*

So, remember how I said that my family is full of famewhores? Well, looks like my point is proven yet again. This time, my younger brother wants in on it too.

He was interviewed by a local teen magazine. What is it with members of my family who are way out of their teens but keep being interviewed by the teen media?? LOL Anyway, this article was emailed to me by his girlfriend, so I'm not sure about copyright issues and if I'm allowed to post this, but I'll take it down if I have to, no problem.

Article behind the cut )

So, am I the only one who is not somewhat famous yet? Even my dad had appeared in the newspaper once for being part of the Malaysia Airlines crew that had to work during the Eid holidays (this was yonks ago, 1997. I remember the year because hubby kept bringing it up back then heh). And that's not to mention my aunts and uncles who had appeared on TV for various programmes and interviewed in magazines and such.

My family's awesome (and full of famewhores!!! LOL).

In other news, AMAZING RACE TONIGHT! Supernatural Season 4 on AXN tonight!

Hey all! *waves*

Bullet points! Because I have a lot to say, but not a lot of time to say them! (Hm, that seems to be the story of my life.. lol)

-Happy Eid to everyone who celebrates it! Yeah yeah, I know it's been over a week already, but hey, we celebrate it for a whole month over here, so technically I'm not late at all! *handwaves*

I had a pretty good Eid celebration. Started the day by having a mini photoshoot at home after hubby got home from the mosque. Then we went over to my grandmother's house, where we proceeded to eat A LOT. Later in the evening we went over to hubby's family's house and we stayed there for a couple of days.

And... nothing much else happened. Here, have some pics! )


-Oh, Aafiyah has already mastered the art of rolling over from back to front. She had been practicing for so long, that when she finally managed it for the first time, it took me a few seconds to realize that she did it! And now, she can hardly stay still, and I have to always keep a close eye on her, especially when she's asleep, because she'll roll right over without waking up.

These pics are taken from my camera phone, so excuse the crappy quality.Cut for a couple of HUGE pics because I'm too lazy to resize right now )

-Speaking of, let's talk about TV!

Did you guys know there's a team on The Amazing Race called Sam and Dean Dan? And they're brothers! And they bonded when they both came out to each other! And they're pretty good so far! I'm so rooting for them!

And Supernatural is showing on AXN again, so yay! Even if they totally ignored Season 3 and decided to just show Season 4, well at least Malaysian viewers will be spared the agony of watching Bela, I guess (although I'm one of the very very few people who actually LIKED Bela).

As for the current season? Oh, so much blasphemy on Show! But I handwave a lot on this show ever since they introduced angels in season 4, so whatever, yeah? But I keep feeling like something is 'off' this season, and I can't put my finger on it. Nevertheless, I am loving the new season, and I can't wait to see where they're gonna go with all this.

And House! This is my first time downloading this series. Usually I just watch it when it airs here, but the season finale just blew me away that I HAD to know what happens now! And it hasn't disappointed so far!

Also, I downloaded the first three episodes of Glee, just because everyone is raving about it. But halfway through the first episode, hubby and I got a bit bored and I actually um, fell asleep. Tell me, does it pick up after that? Should I stick with it? Coz I enjoy High School Musical, and this looks to be something like that, yes? Also, I need new shows once Supernatural ends.

I have loads more to talk about and lots more pics to share, but for now, I'll stop here before anyone gets sick of me.

Take care, flist! New Supernatural tomorrow, yay!

Happy Ramadhan to all my Muslim flisties! *hugs*

Last year I managed to fast a full month, because I was pregnant (although I did not know it at the time). Haha, looking back, I think it's hilarious that I thought my lethargy was due to lack of caffiene.

Speaking of, ever since I knew I was pregnant, I managed to cut down on my caffiene intake pretty significantly! Hence me not being too lethargic this time around. Although, since I'm breastfeeding, I tend to get a bit dehydrated at the end of the day. But it's all good so far. Hopefully I can keep this up.

In other news, I'm all caught up on Leverage now! \o/

Hubby and I had a couple of mini-marathons this past week, and it was FUN! We might have to marathon a few of the Season 1 eps too, since hubby missed quite a few of those. I made him watch the pilot solely for the flashbacks (especially Parker's).

I wanted to squee a bit more about my new TV obsession, but work beckons (grrr) so I'll just leave with this vid, if only for my amusement.


Wheeee!!


When you're lying here in my arms
Brothers
[info]rieyll
A while back, I was getting a tad annoyed by how difficult it was to put Aafiyah down for her nap. If it was too bright, she'd be blinking her eyes open barely two seconds after I've put her down. She'd jolt awake at the sound of a bus honking its horn (let me point out that my apartment is on the 13th floor!). And sometimes, when she wakes up, she would let me know with a loud wail.

But later, as I sat there watching her sleep, I realized that all those things are actually a big blessing. If she found it hard to fall asleep because it's too bright, I know that she's not blind (I don't actually know if blind people can distinguish between light and dark). If the sounds of traffic wakes her up, then she can hear just fine. And that loud wail of hers just shows me that she is definitely not a mute.

When I was pregnant, one of the things I feared the most was that my baby would not have all her senses. I mean, we could scan and count the number of appendages, and hear the heartbeat, and whatnot, but there was no way to tell if the baby was actually blind or deaf or mute (is there?). And I prayed every single day that she would be able to appreciate life the way it's meant to. And it looks like she can. And she does.

My baby.

1. New promo all over my flist! YAY! I had to watch it with the sound off since I'm in the office, but YAY anyway! That means that we're getting closer to the new season! *bounce*

2. I've been meaning to participate in the Cutest Baby Contest since last month, but I keep missing the deadline! *sadface* Not only because I do think that I have the cutest baby in the world, but because of the PRIZES. A handbag of my choice from alicewonders? A free photobook? But mostly, the HANDBAG. I love bags. I have a million of em. And I could always use a million more. Hee!

Fortunately, it's a monthly contest, so maybe I'll give it a shot next month. GAH.

3. I need some Leverage and House icons. And some Leverage and House friends. So far, only [info]layne67  is a-squee with me (because we watch the eps at the same time. *grin*). Monday nights on AXN FTW! Except, boths shows just ended this week. And next week they'll start showing some Criss Angel show or something. Boo.

4. This will be the last weekend before Ramadhan starts. I think I might wanna go on a date with the hubby. :)

Have a good weekend guys!

Hubby had been teasing me with this one spoiler that he found out about Show. I refused to cave (I'm trying to stay spoiler-free this season, dammit!), despite him dropping hints about what the spoiler might be.

And then, I open up the Media thread on TWOP and what do I see? THAT spoiler staring at me right in the face.

Oh come on, you guys know exactly what I'm talking about. That guest star. Yeah, that one.

I'm pretty indifferent about the spoiler itself (although the more I think about it, I find it a bit amusing actually), but I wish I didn't find out about it. Then again, I suppose there was no way of avoiding it huh.

Tell me what you think, flist. Did Kripke just shoot himself in the head with this stunt casting, or was it a genius move?

Oh, lemme just point out that I know absolutely nothing beyond the casting itself. I have no idea of the character they'll play or what the episode is about. So don't spoil me more! (Oh, [info]layne67 , being the spoilerphobe that you are, you might want to avert your eyes, yeah? lol)

Wow, it's been a month since my last proper update! I've been pretty busy these last few weeks. I'm back at work now, and gawd, the mountain of files waiting for me is unbelievable! And I haven't even gone through all my emails yet!

And I've missed you guys! I see Big Bang fics all over my flist, and I'm DYING to read them all, but I haven't had the time! *weeps*

There's a big trial coming up, so hopefully after that one's over with, work will slow down some. I'll try to post a proper update soon-ish. In the meantime, have a lolcat!

Aafiyah says hi! :D






Hush now my love, and hold my hand
Brothers
[info]rieyll
Here's the scene:

I'm at my grandmother's house for my family's weekly get-together. Aafiyah is asleep is her stroller, and I'm eating at the dining table. The stroller is facing away from me. Dania, my five year old niece, is playing nearby. I hear a small cry from Aafiyah's stroller. The following exchange ensues:

Me: Dania, is Aafiyah crying?
Dania: *peeks into stroller* No.
Me: Is she awake?
Dania: *peeks into stroller again* No, but her eyebrows look so sad.
Me: *dies*

I swear, that girl kills me every time. She is also responsible for this gem:

Dania: Dad, can you open this for me? *hands over a chocolate bar to my brother*
My brother: No, because you've already brushed your teeth (for bed).
Dania: That's okay, I'll just eat it with my tongue.
My brother: *dies*

Oh, and also this exchange with my mother, who was filling a vase with water:

Dania: Nani, why are you putting water in?
My mother: So the flowers can drink.
Dania: *pause* But the flowers don't have mouths!
My mother: *dies*

This is Dania.



She's a cheeky one. :D

And Aafiyah is as adorable as ever.


Even having a mild fever, she still manages to crack me up. :D


In her new pajamas that my brother bought. I love her little panda feet!

In other news, how's everybody doing? I'll be celebrating the end of my confinement by watching Transformers with the hubby next week. Yay!
