Happy BeLated Anniversary To Us..

We were too preoccupied with our romance-filled day,so that's why its a belated wish..
Praise the Great Lord, we had a wonderful celebration of our first wedding anniversary on the 28th Nov 08 (Friday)..

Events :-

Sneak Preview on the 27th Nov 2008
- It showered quite a bit on the evening, so it was a chill night..
- Had dinner (kuboush & tandoor chicken), followed by LoNdOnDaIrY IcEcReAm..
hmm,heavenly..
- Watched our wedding DVD and reminisced, laughed, n cried with the memories..

At the stroke of midnight, we wished each other n proceeded to offer a simple but heartfelt pooja for Lord for being with us, guiding n loving us all along..N also to kneel at His feet and seek the blessings of The great Lord and our God - our dearest parents..

D Day :-
- Had breakfast in bed,on the sheets lar,not under..
- Went out to Ajman City Centre for lunch and a movie..
- Lunch at The Thai Corner, food tasted very un-Thai-ly..
- Watched a Hindi movie "Yuvvraaj", starring Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif-
Subhash Ghai's movie n AR Rahman's music..
* I have to side track abit here : GO WATCH THE MOVIE,people.. Its SIMPLY SUPERB.. N
Anil Kapoor's given an excellent piece..N the music..Wowww!! Enchanting..
Listen to : Manmohini Morey(it touches the soul)..N Dost, n Shano Shano, n Mastam2..

- After movie, proceeded to burn a hole in dear hubby's pocket (on his insistence, of course) -
The damage was YET another pair of sandals-best i could get-Made in Singapore n costing a
bomb of AED 115, some fanciful accessories n knick knacks..

- Dinner was a romantic affair at the Palma Beach Club near our place - Dined out on a deck on
the water - bobbing together with the waves, intoxicated by his love n also the amount of
sheisha smoke inhaled by the Arabics around us...

All in all, it was a memorable day - pics out sooon..

..Happy 1st Anniversary..

~Hubby n Shubi~

..Cheers..

She's a Sweetie..

There's this gal..


I've known her since I juz got into my teens..
We met first at the corridors of St Anne's Convent,made frens, n studied n laughed n giggled n walked n ate n gossiped n sang n danced n loved n fought together..
N then i moved across the South China Sea, n our worlds too moved apart..


We met again after 7 years in Mines Shopping Mall n started talking about our lives like we never parted before..


N eversince, it has been a friendship that stayed on stronger than any rock (touch-wood) n has moved on to become more of a sisterly bonding between us..


Some creepy twin-sisters we are..Hehe..


Major Interest/Hobby of ours :Causing hair-tearing moments for our Hubbies..



P/S: She called me earlier,all da way frm KL, just so that she'd be the 1st one to wish me an advance Happy Wedding Anniversary, which btw, is tomorrow..





Here u go,Nishaalni Renganathan..This piece is specially dedicated to you n Cheers to us..


May Lord bless U..N Me too for manymany more million years to come..



That's her in the middle(wt a pitiful face,God knows why) with her Mil in blue n Mum in purple n the princess,Yashu chellaz all preoccupied in her food..

xoxoxoxo,

Yr creepy spooky twin..

Huh?

“Yoga is ‘haram’?"
"It can ‘corrupt’ a person?"

WTF is wrong with yr bloody mentalities, b***********?
U forgot yr bloody roots? Or ur still so bloody uncivilised / insensitive to people's feelings?
I don't blame the religion, i respect the religion..
It is fools like you (whoever said this) who are the black sheeps..

Go on saying everything n hurting everyone under the Sun..
U will pay for it on your judgement day, by your God..
Now just FO from my thoughts before i curse u to oblivion..

dear blog n readers, sorry for my profanities n crude language..
They just get on my nerves at times..so much so that even a saint can be provoked..

The Goody Oldie Days

Dear blog,

Kindly behave yourself today..Don't make me crash my notebook..

Thank you..I love you..

Like they say, a free mind makes the heart wander..to a time that strayed from your thoughts all these while due to whatever reasons..

N so the story goes..

It was during one of these times long ago, i knew a girl who was full of mischief..

So angelic on the outside,so divine in the eyes of her elders,but she was a terror within..

N this happened when I was in Darjah 2A studying in SRKTSG..

Wat did this gal do? Well, she marketed some brilliant hand-made products in school..Like wat?

Like some drawings n rough sketches that she used to do to pass time when the teachers bored her to death with too-simple BM, Maths n English for her level..

So,she drew pictures..N all her dear fan-friends loved all of them pictures n used to fight with each other to have the pictures..

Soon,it became a competition between her frens to see who owned most of the drawings..

Then.. *gasp*gasp*faint*..they started bidding for the drawings..

They go like:-

Nurul : xxxxx,i bagi u 20 sen, u jual gambar bunga tu kat i?

Aisyah : xxxxx, u bagi kat i la, i bayar 30 sen, ok tak?

xxxxx : alah,korang ni.. ok, cam ni, aku jual 20 sen gambar bunga ni..tapi korang kena "o-jus" dulu..sapa menang,boleh bayar 20 sen kat aku..

A pic with scenery / more colour fetches her about 50 sen..or *gasp*, even 1.50 per picture..

Now,u can imagine how beautiful a picture can a Darjah 2 angel draw, can't u? U know, the ones sketched on torn pages of single-line notebooks,n coloured fancifully using LUNA-mind u, only LUNA passed the QC..Those kinda pictures..Some examples below:-

A b&w hibiscus..

A 5 or sometimes 50-petal flower (depending on her mood), each petal with its own colour, carefully outlined with the darker version of the same colour..

A more decent drawing, fetching a higher bid price of course..

A coconut tree when its hot outside..

A christmas tree filled with the adornments during the Santa season..


A scenery of the beach at sunrise/sunset/midsummer..

A paddy field wt a house right in the middle..

bla bla bla..

n so it went on that way..u see, it wasnt her fault, she was forced by her luxurious frens to accept their li'l offerings..

What'd she do with the $?

During waktu rehat,she belanja-ed the same frens who paid her ..

Keropok lekor was the most famous,or the delicious mee rebus that she hasn't got to taste anywhre else til this very day, even the karipap sardin (hmm..yummie)..nuget ayam, those extinct now "Squeeze Me" ice-cream..pop-ice..those candy sticks that comes with a free cincin..choki choki..the f&n grape dat was a craze, n so was Yeo's newly-introduced ice lemon tea..

So that's where all the money went, and it was a happy ending note for all of them..

Oh, the goody oldie times..

Now,wonder who is this ms.xxxx mysterious girl?

Oh, hubby knows.. Ask him..

Or is it written all over my blog?

P/S : Thank you again,blog..U have been on a good-behaviour mode today..Muax..

Till next time,cheers..

xoxoxo,

Shubi gal..

Hi hi,
I'm pretty sure u can sense it already, dear blog?

Yes..Yes..Yess.. Its LaZy season nw..

So,juz to feed u so dat u don't feel hungry..Here's some food blog for you..

Some pics of Diwali dinner that we had in UAQ 27 Oct 2008

Our Head diwali (Thalai Diwali)-like my sis refers to it was a very unfamily affair- being just the both of us in a land so faraway..So just to keep us n all the guests entertained n to forget the sakit hati n also so that we (read as 'I') don't end up crying the whole day n bugging the life out of dear hubby, we tot of having a party..

Well, the guest list had abt 20 people n it was FULL ATTENDANCE n halleluyaa, we all had a blast (minus the fireworks..)Here are some pics..

The Menu :

1.Perfecto prathaman (I shouldn't boast, but it turned out really superb)..

2.Tomato Rice

3.Fish curry

4.Mutton masala

5.Chicken Varuval

6.Vegetable salad in thousand island sauce

7.Mango juice

8.Loads of sweets meats (courtesy of Uncle George, who's our MEP contractor and calls me his daughter..)

9.Lots n lots of free-flowing booze (also courtesy of Uncle George n also from our company - not exactly my idea of celebration, but we can't stop those who love to drown in booze, can we?)

Hubby snapped this.. Y do men have strange fancies?

<--- B syok sendiri pic!!!

Ok,this stupid page is not listening to me (I thnk B cursed me coz i put up his SS pic)..

I hate this post..I hate u blog..

Haihh..

The Glorious Rain..

I could not resist posting this..

For the first time since we stepped into this desert of Umm Al Quwain (or UAE in a bigger picture)..it's RAINING..

Oh,waking up to the sound of raindrops hitting the windows,looking out to misty air all around me, watching the Sun try its best to sneak out from the grey clouds.. Just so beautiful..So SERENE..


Hmm..i WISH it POURS for the next 3 DAYs..Wishful thinking..


P/S: Continuous rain would prove detrimental to our project site works..
So God has decided to take charge n let the Sun win over..

Da ChiCKeN BriyaNi

The other day, as on Thursday evening, the hubby n i were having dinner..



Menu : Chicken briyani from a Pakistani shop that costs only a mere AED6 n Murtaza claimed dat its the best briyani in UAE..N i got hooked..N regretted..



Now,Murtaza is my driver who's a Pakistani n this particular conversation took place while we were on the way home from somewhere.. n he goes like "Sister,try it..Wallah, its the best..very presh-as in *fresh*.."



Now, whatever he said to market the briyani, i bought it n decided to indulge with the hubby.. (u just dont get enough of it, do u shuba?)



Back to the dinner, we looked at each other over dinner n said in UNISON.. We Pledge Not To Eat Briyani AGAIN for The Next 6 Months (Like how difren could a briyani taste anyway?)..

Missing my Chick Lits

Oh dear blog,

Would you find another blogger in UAE who cares about chick lits n Judith Micheals n Danielle Steel n John Grisham n Nora Roberts n dadada..N show them to me..

OMG,not a bookstore in sight,not in Lulu,no Kinokuniyas,no MPHs,no Times..How much *bad-der* could this get? Not even in Ajman City Centre..wth..

I miss that li'l bookshop in Central Market,where I have dug out,rented,read n not returned yet oh-so-wonderful works of some great authors..

Why don't people indulge in reading?Why,oh why?

GHM..im depressed..yet again..
ok bye

Da BeaCh RenDezvOUs

Bewarned: abIt of adult-content post..only for those above 23

(hey,im taking into consideration my sister heRe)..

well,it was a pretty romantic nyt..
walking on the beach under the almost full moon lyt n sparkling stars,feeling the waves wash our legs,the breeze caress our cheeks..
holding the hand of the one I love n cherish, being held very close to HiM..

listening to hiM singinG *I sWeAr* into My EarS n soMe HushHUsh here n there..
eating MARS n feeling all chocolatey,SWEET,SExY..

*adult content stops here..*

no mushy-mushy doings in public in UAE,the police dont question, they just drag u to the nearest CourT n before u know it, U r counting the baRs in a CeLL..

anYwAy, it was a nicey nice feelinGy..hmm,thanks to the hubby..

has anyone seen a someone or anyone or evryone(was dat some crap?) who cleans the kitchen using a *gasp* VACUUM cleaner? i mean, i seriously tot that mankind invented brooms for that purpose..

So well, im seeing one particular creature do it like almost evryday (none other than my eva wonderful cleaner)..like wats wrong with him??

oh yeah, i gota elaborate a li'l bit here.. Its a keralite guy who cleans our apartment on a part time basis..so he speaks none other than malayalam n he stares at me like starin at a UFO wen i tell him things in malayalam (well,so the slang's difren, n outta 10 word sentence, i speak 6.5 or 7 words in english..so wat??)

so the conversation goes like tis (of course translated into english)..

me : brother (see, im not mean..i respect evrybody..good girl shubi)..can u pls use a broom to SWEEP the kitchen,n the vacuum cleaner for the rest of the house?

he : ah, seri cheyya (ok, i'll do it)
me : thank you..(with a sweet smile, i told u im not mean)..
he : smiles back..

n happily continues using the VACUUM CLEANER on his next round..the colourful effect was a testimony of how i wish i could scold him with that kinda colourful words...

n this particular piece of conversation has gone on at least 23.2 times between us..(the decimal .2 was wen i started, then realised that its not gona make any difrens, just painful-kaning my mouth only)..

aaah,shuba..is it whining day today? stop it ryt here.. its ok, just bear with him..

Its http://www.depressionday-today.com./ so shuba is celebrating it by being (none other than) DEPRESSED (grey colour effect)..

RealiZation

now agaIn,

I juz realized daT i'f naMed my Blog Surprise SuRpRisE (NoT) DAiLyDotS..wich means dat..any sane person will know wat it means..Its supposed to have daily posts..

Tsk tsk..There i go on my whine story again..I failed miserably..
but then again,it says daily DOTS..u know dots,dont you? The "...................................."

so maybe i shall post dat daily..
