Home Sweet Home

I just love the smell of the soothing air freshener that caught my nose the moment I step into the house...


I love the smell of the freshly washed laundry and the fabric softener's rosy smell every time I do the laundry...


I love the smell of the great meal cooking on the stove every time I have the chance to cook...


I love the feel of the soft bed sheets and the comfy pillow every time I lay down to sleep...


I just love being at home...







binx: dun wanna go to work!

Confession of a Buncit Binx...

I woke up this morning with a mental picture of the outfit that I was gonna wear for the day. So, I ironed the white kebaya top, my favourite brown pants and a white tudung.

However, when I put on my favourite pants, the zip stuck midway. It would not zipped up!!!

When I tried to force it up, I can see my bulging tummy protesting against it and threatened to rip it off...

A quick glance at the time told me that I didn't have much time to find another pants. Hence, I had to modify the outfit. Thank god for the long white camisole that managed to cover the half-open zipper underneath the kebaya top.

Now I am sitting quietly at my cubicle, trying my best not to walk about too much coz if I were to do so, I am afraid that the zipper will burst and reveal my secret....




binx: time to go shopping for new brown pants!

It looks brand new...!

We have been staying at the in-laws for almost a week now and I don't think we'll be going home any time soon.

You see, my FIL had enrolled Mr Judge for a Masters programme out of his own will. The programme requires him to just write a 100 page++ thesis on IT related topic and hand it in after 6 months. No classes required. No guidance from the lecturers/supervisors.

Mr Judge, being a person that hates to be forced into doing things that he doesn't want to do, had procrastinated the thesis writing until now. I was asked by FIL to be the caretaker for his son (in other words jadi guru besar yang kena pegang rotan laa). However, I can only do so much. Kalau dah 10 kali suruh and 10 kali encourage and orang tu tanak buat jugak... I nak buat macam mana kan?

Last week, FIL had taken the matter into his own hands. He had requested us to stay over in order for him to be able to monitor his son's progress. Plus, since MIL is a PhD Professor at a local university, she would be able to guide Mr Judge with his report.



So, I am stuck here for now. I don't really mind because I have people to help me out with my laundry and the cooking (they have 2 maids here). :D

But the traffic going into KL is TERRIBLE! Imagine going out at 7 a.m. only to reach your office at 9 a.m.!!! It is madness I tell you!



On another note, my car is back!

Fresh coat of paint...

New color...

No more bumps and bruises everywhere...

It looks brand new....!

I LIKE....




binx: lazy sunday...

Confession of the Envious Binx

I know it's too early to feel this way... but I can't help it...


Case 1

A colleague of mine, who got married less than a month before me is now expecting. She is now almost 6 months pregnant.

She came up to my floor today and I just can't help but to feel a little bit envious of her cute bump.


Case 2

Mr Judge's cousins (brother and sister) got married at the end of last year. We were busy answering people's question about when we will be expecting during their wedding ceremony.

We met up with the couples 2 weeks ago and surprise surprise.. both couples are now 8 weeks pregnant. I think Mr Judge saw the dissapointed look on my face.


Case 3

An online friend shared that he was trying for a 4th child a few months after I got married. He kept on wishing me good luck on my pursuit to conceive.

He succeeded and are now patiently awaiting for the birth of the new addition to his family.



Like I said... it is too early to feel this way... but I just can't help it... I want one too!




binx: think happy thoughts

Crash... Boom... Bang...

We had a pretty hectic and stressful weekend.

It all started with Mr. Judge's cousin's akad nikah on Friday afternoon. It was a simple yet beautiful ceremony, despite all the commotion that surrounded it.

Saturday, we were on duty for the wedding reception. We were all dressed up rather nice, maybe too nice till people mistook us for the wedding couple.. tsk tsk tsk...

We were suppose to attend another event after the wedding reception, a 3-year old + 1-year old birthday party. Since we were over-dressed for kiddie party, we decided to go back to the in-laws to change first.

Less than 5 minutes on the road again...

"CRASH....!"

My darling hubby had crashed MY CAR into the back of a lorry that was stopping for the red light!

The damage was really bad. The right light was smashed and the front hood almost folded into half. Luckily there was no damage done to the engine.

I can't help but to feel furious with Mr Judge. I know he was not speeding, and he was driving fine until the crash. However, he was the one behind the wheels and he was the one that crashed the car. AGAIN!

I have been driving the car for the past 4 years and never once did I crash the car (touchwood!). Geram nyaaaaaaa.

I know I made him feel bad (he should be)... I know he felt bad for the accident... But I just can't help it.

Now my car is at the workshop, going for a major re-work and a major make-over. The repair will take 2 weeks!!!

The thought of being car-less for the next 2 weeks was so unbearable. My FIL was kind enough to loan me his BMW (even though I told him that it was unnecessary). However, he insisted that I take the car but to never let Mr Judge to go behind the wheels... (hahaha... padan muka dia..)




Let's just hope the next two weeks will be a smooth sailing one....
