For a second there I thought I was being kidnapped

This is always a problem with me going shopping on my own. I went to my favorite Sephora smack dab in the middle of the city.

My husband took the kids coz I thought it was a bit of a hassle to cross the road with them and it's not as safe so I decided to go alone. It was supposed to be an in and out thing. I knew what I wanted and although I was curious to see what's new in store, I wanted to make it as brief as I possibly could be.

I was at the KVD aisle. Then, I went in around and took a bit more time swatching things over at the Benefit aisle. That was when this sales girl who came out of nowhere decided to talk to me and then asked me to follow her upstairs.

Wtf was I thinking?! Ok, first of all, I know that when ever I get invites to new launches or workshops or what ever, it's usually held there. Yes, I am aware of the upstairs area of the store so I wasn't really freaking out.

Later on, as soon as the elevator door closes, I realized how small the space was and I almost got a panic attack because I am a bit of a claustrophobe. I was a bit scared but the girl kept telling me that there were better offers upstairs and blah blah blah.....

When we finally got upstairs, I realized that she wanted me to buy stuff from the Benefit Cosmetics store upstairs and not from Sephora -_-

Thank God it was just that. Haha......

Achtung, fertig, los und lauf

Was looking through my favorites list on YouTube and this came up. 

And this..... 

Was not disappointed :) 

Homebody

Ever since we moved here, I have been staying in. I'm talking about not even stepping outside the house. I'd just peek out the window and I'm good. I could stay in all week and it won't bother me a bit. It's so weird. I especially love it when it gets dark like it's gonna rain. I love it here :)

What would be the song I would do a duet with my husband?

Temple of The King by Rainbow....... Because, we don't have time for soapy songs....... Hahahaha......... We'd sing System Of A Down or Butterfingers or Metallica........Wings or Search or Ramli Sarip.... M. Nasir........ Hahaha......

Anywho, Shu knows me well so he got me these

Yup, I'mma call you Lemonade........ 

Finally bit the bullet

And took the kids to the cinema to watch Disney's Cars 3. It's strange how a lot of people still go to the cinema to watch movies despite having high speed internet connections :/

Shu and I haven't been to the cinema for about 5 years now and I now remember why we've stopped. The service still has not changed. Yusuf had a blast making new friends at the play area...... So.... There's that.......

The movie was good though. A bit too heavy for kids but it hit me where the feels are especially when I saw Doc Hudson in his racing days. I loved the movie. I just wish they filled us in with what actually happened to Doc Hudson.

I like Miss Fritter a lot. Yes, I do ;)

I'm American made, bought a large Chevrolet

My son, Ali Imran has this obsession with Lightning McQueen from Disney's Cars. His shoes are McQueen. His bedsheets are McQueen. He's got about 10 different types of McQueen cars. Why McQueen? I have no clue.

While waiting for the internet to be installed, we've all been stuck at home with the little vcds and dvds that we own. To keep the boys occupied, I'd play the discs at random on a day to day basis for about a month. One of their favorite movies would be none other than Cars -_-

Yes, I have memorized the script. Every. Damn. Line. Not even mad. I am into American cars. And I have come to like the Hudson Hornet thanks to the movie. Not quite a Nascar fan. I have always been a fan of white walls so....... Yeah....... There's that.

Anywho, luckily for my two boys, the new movie has just been released. Yes, that means that there are new merchandise and toys everywhere........

But I've gotta admit it, when we went to the Cars 3 movie promo the other day, I was excited to see the live-size Lightning McQueen display :)

Shu and I were totally blown away when we saw that they came out with a live action McQueen car that moves and breathes like the actual McQueen. In fact, we almost got it for the boys. We didn't coz for the price of that thing, there would be a 50/50 chance of them tossing it around :-/

Maybe next time..........

Settling in

We have recently moved to our new place. Hopefully this will be our last move ever. It's been about a bit over a month now and the new routine I've been trying to work on is slowly coming together. The kids seem to really like this place. It's a lot cooler than Cyberjaya coz it's up on the hills. My only problem is the bugs here don't seem to like me :-/
 Btw..... Today is Shu's birthday :)

We got sick of the hotel food as well as the rest of the restaurants in the mall so we ended up here 😁

The Spider Incident : Royale Chulan Cherating

We were on our way home from Kuala Terengganu. Back from the long holiday over Eid. Shu had planned a short getaway before actually going home. Let's face it, we needed to be at a beach.

Anywho, since Shu is already a member with the Royale Chulan hotel chain (thanks to our long stays in Mutiara Damansara) we decided to check out the hotel in Cherating.

The place was new and was previously owned by the Sultan of Pahang. Basically, the lobby and reception area was his private getaway. The rest of the resort was extended and constructed.

We rented a villa with a neat view. It was tight. The original idea was to stay over 2 nights but then something happened.

It was midnight and I had fallen asleep on the bed with Safiyya. Yusuf was watching tv and Ali Imran was already asleep on the floor. Shu came out from the washroom and screamed. Seriously, it was a legit scream because it totally woke me up.

It turned out that there was a huge spider that came out from the curtains near the bed and that it crawled behind the frame of the sofa area by the window. I didn't see it but I knew it was something to protect the kids from because Shu is an arachnophobe.

I immediately grabbed Safiyya as he got on the phone with the front desk. They sent up a security guard. The dude was blur and had no clue what was happening. By then, Shu had picked up Ali Imran and Yusuf and I were on the foot stand.

Shu asked the guard if he had any plans to kill the spider. His reply was yes. How, we wondered...... He went outside and picked up a slipper :-/ At this point, we were thinking 'We Are Gonna Die' The next thing he said was that he was gonna wait for his partner to come up.

The other guy arrived and after understanding the gravity of the situation, he said he was going to kill the spider. He walked out and grabbed a broom. So I thought, 'Yep, he's gonna get this done'

We told them where we thought the spider was at and they took apart the entire sofa. Then, one guard wiggled the blinds and the spider came out. It was moving fast and it got onto the bed and then it disappeared for a bit and it was back up on the bed and when it was on the floor behind the nightstand BOOM! The guard smacked it to its death.

It was chaos for a bit but after tge guards left, we were trying to decide whether to stay the night. We did and there weren't any more spider encounters after that but everyone slept on the bed that night. Keeping away from the headboard and edges.

Counting my blessings

Shu and I went way back and I am always grateful to have married him and gotten to know how awesome his parents are. If I were to have a second mom and dad it would be them.

Also..... I have a new nephew!

I love this song. 

It's a good song to practice vocals and pitching and voice control and harmony. 

Was singing this to Ali Imran and he gave me a weird look :-/

Yaaasss

We finally finally finally went to the beach!!! It's been way too long!

Quick stop for some breakfast. 

More snacks 

Late lunch 

More beach fun! ^_^
