HELP!!! Decide for me.....

Ok...Have you ever been in a crossroad? Forced to make a decision that might change your life? How do you know the choice you made IS the right one? What if you made a mistake? Can you still go back and un-do it? I guess if you're SUPERMAN, maybe you can change it.. turn-back time and all.... or if you got some-sort of time machine..GREAT!! but since i'm just an ordinary girl next door... I know i couldn't NEVER un-do it...no matter how hard i try. I'm simply impossible.. SO... how to decide???

Adrian Jalaludin & Kavin Jay 

Anyone with any suggestions? Well...basically the situation is THIS: 

1. i'm working... i got commitments (car loan, personal loan, study loan, phone bill) to settle
2. i'm earning average..that if i don't plan my expenses, i end up 'tight' for the month
3. my husband wants to quit his 'day-job' to focus on his "comedy future" (inconsistent pay)
4. He's considering quitting as he's been offered a position as a 'presenter' in some FOOTBALL programme in ASTRO (it only pays half as his current day job)
5. He assures me that his other "freelance" emcee job or standup comedy shows would make up for the lost amount ( i would like to agree)
6. He got commitments too (car loan, house loan, phone&internet bill, maintenance bill)
7. Both of us travel an hour to get to our jobs (traveling expenses)
8. He believes that with his ASTRO opportunity, there would be more "recognition" meaning becoming famous meaning more opportunities (maybe)
9. In the meantime, based on previous experience (once before in 2010 when he got retrenched) he also tried  the full-time comedy thing which was more difficult than said (Feb-July no shows-apparently it's low tide) 

Ok...now tell me .... what would be the best advice to give? I mean i understand about ambition more than anyone else as i have ambitions too. I definitely don't want to stand in the way of my husband's recognition and fame. But judging from the previous experience it back-fired!! That there were months he got no shows at all... then we depended on my salary...(which isn't as much to cover the entire family). Right now, things seems to look better... but i can't pretend what happened, didn't happen.. Or the fact that i'm traumatized... I don't want to ever go back to that feeling of insecurity... Its horrible!!! The un-known...

SO HELP ME DECIDE FOR ME..!!! Should my husband Quit his job or stay???? 

Multi-tasking...

Gosh... i wish i was a 'goddess'... wondering what i mean..? well the other day i saw this picture, it was for my Bioethics Class that i teach in INTI.. it was hilarious..But now i wish i was one.. more hands means more tasks to complete... sigh

Sometimes life is too mediocre..that you wish for many unimaginable things..some way too weird to even  think about it... Anyway.. where am i going with this, well since i like to write, i started this blog, i thought since i like to write this would be the best platform to sort of try how it goes.. It's not enough that you like to write...you need to be able to write too... What you think don't matter at all... visitors should read and like how and what i write..now that's meaningful...if you simply claim to have the passion to write...but people can't make out half-of the things you write... then i guess i should quit...right? So tell me people... do i have what it takes? Any flair at all?? Or do i suck, big time??? Let me know... i truly appreciate it. Keeping a blog isn't as easy as it seems.. time is always against me. Any ideas how to manage time? Don't give me the time-table bullshit... i got 2 word for you...DOESN'T WORK!!! how disciplined are YOU?? I know i'm a lecturer but sorry students.. even i hate it to follow this ridiculous time-table... Anyway.. i guess as long as you're an employee, you can argue as much as you want but at the end of the day, you're still following it.. 

Food...it's all about mouth watering food.......

Hey there.. here i am once again...Well as the topic suggests this one gonna be about food. I don't know about you but i have grown to love food and appreciate cuisine that i never tried before. I must say I used to have some curves on me...damn they're gone now.. :p hahahhahaa.... well truth is when i met my husband i was slimmer and  he spoiled me.. he started introducing me to pretty good food... i think i never knew food can be soooo.. gooood... aaahhhh really i mean it. First we used to go to the common fast food joints like KFC, McD and Dominos..but come to think of it..we ordered alot of those only when we're having those lazy days at home..those lazying-in Saturdays or Sundays... but when we actually do make plans.. being a person who loves to try out new things, both my husband and i, we tend to go far out... i Google for interesting places where people compliment and suggests us to go like those food blogs and we just make it over there and try out the food. 


One of the many places we're been, is NEROFICO in Damansara Heights. I must say i do like the concept. It's cozy and still elegant for a nice romantic dinner for 2...   The first time i went there was to watch my husband perform. Hahahaha... they have this JAZZ and Comedy concept for the entertainment. Kavin Jay was invited to perform and it was a blast. He did so well that they decided to appoint him as their "own" resident comedian.. Two thumbs up baby...you rock!!!


Since this place is so famous, you can see alot of expats. They love the food and definitely the atmosphere. Their menu is pretty much Italian... if you like the pastas.. the Italian salad..the pizzas... YUMM!!! simply mouth watering.. Oh..don't forget to make reservations before you go... then you'll know you will have a table... sometimes walk-ins might not get a place and must sit at the bar.. Check out their website for all the information and the directions of how to get there..there's even a map..The price, well i would say it's pretty affordable..for a nice romantic dinner at least... I'm sure you men wouldn't mind spending abit for your pretty little girl-friend... 

The Atmosphere in Nerofico 

Besides Nerofico... the other place is THE SHIP in Bukit Bintang. I think this one might be quite common among Malaysians.. The food is great.. Apparently they have the best steak in town..so they claim..not that i would know...:p hahahaha... Otherwise the other western cuisines are simple great.. The sizzling lamb chop... pretty good i must say..the only problem for me, was the portion was way big for me...  i had to donate some to my trusty husband..hahahhaha... 

THE SHIP

LAMB CHOP

The only limitation would be the hassle trying to drive there...remember it's Bukit Bintang so there's a crowd of people...walking all over the place..and too many cars too... try to get parking at places like Pavillion or Lot10 and walk..that's alot better than driving in the madness jam. But remember if you do park in Pavillion, there's a small problem too... let me share my experience.... Kavin and i went there for dinner, had dinner and decided to call it a day around 9.30pm.. when we reached Pavillion, we realized it's closing time.. so all the shoppers were also leaving at the same time.. once we reached the parking valet machine, WOW....the queue was horrible... it was like a long snake-queue... with almost 20 people queuing there..in each level... it look so long for us finally to pay up and...it didn't end there... everyone was leaving at the same time that the parking lot was jammed HAHAHAHAHA!!! terrible... so my suggestion is...leave later... :p


Well..besides going out for nice dinners, some times Kavin being the "husband of the year" tends to lavishly spoil me with extravagant meal that he cooks himself... yup you heard right... He cooks!! And boy they are good...yum yum....!!!  This is his attempt at making roasted duck. Just look at it...simple mouth watering....hahahaha... well that's it for now...till then bye... and wipe that saliva...you're drooling... hahahaha

ROASTED DUCK

Back To work......aarrghhh!!!

Hmm... just like our Muslim friends i'm still in the holiday mood...Hari Raya still in the air....I guess it's a Malaysian thing to have the eagerness to  wait for the holidays no matter who's actually celebrating it...for us just to enjoy days off from work...aahhh.... it was fun full week, a whole week.....but sadly it had to come to an end... sadly!! Now..getting up from bed is so hard and being at work, my heart is elsewhere...dreaming off to....what to do? Just have to recover slowly i guess...Well... i thought i was the one feeling like this, but every where i turn i hear the same comments.. Hehehehe

The whole week... i spent watching tv... going out for dinner.. and dreadfully "cleaning my house' ....huhu... what to do, since it's the Raya holidays, my trusty cleaners are off celebrating...so its my duty to keep the house spotless.. washing the bathrooms...mopping the flour.. gosh... my back was killing me.. a cold shower and a nap and i'm all good to go...hehehehe  Yup it was fun..beyond the work too. All this staying at home i thought why not make the most of it...and since i had this canned peach in my fridge my husband been asking for this peach pie that i actually never made before...but then i thought why not... so here's the delicious peach pie...hehehhehe well not self-proclaimed but acknowledged my husband...YAY!! a success.... 

Peach Pie

A couple of days after my peach pie success... then came the day... my mom-in-law's 61st birthday... so no questions asked... the last time when i was still dating my husband i made a cake to impress my in-laws especially for my father-in-law's birthday that time..which everyone said was great... so think about it.. how can i ignore this one.. or just get a perfectly made cake from the bakery.. she'll probably hate me for it... so i thought lets go for it.. went to Cold Storage bought some ingredients i needed and made this piece of art..Hahahahahaha... at least that's how i looked at it... some abstract art... Truth is i didn't like it at all..  it definitely looks like a work by an amateur ..which i am...hahahahha.. but then i mean look at it.. it's a small kid playing with crayons.. gosh it looked easy but when i held the fudge tube and trying to make out words..then i knew it's hard.. damn... 

Home made cake...1st attempt

well it was fun.. i have to admit it... guess i'll be doing more cakes from now on.. try to get it to be more professional looking.. hmmm that'll definitely gonna take a while... hehehehe... So back to work.. sigh... guess i should get back to my classroom preparation then... otherwise i'm gonna be late.. hahahaha.. till the next time... bye... 

My Comedian hubby...

Well.. yup... i'm still hooked onto this...yes yes still... i know.. it's a phase... heheheh  Anyway... Just wanted to promote the "Time Out KL" magazine which presents the Comedy Thursday at ZOUK every 1st Thursday of the month..but this time around since we enjoyed the RAYA holidays for the whole week....so the Comedy Thursday will be on 8th September... YAY!!! Kavin Jay is quite the regular there.. but am not sure if he'll be preforming this coming event... being an engineer and a full time husband :p sure is a handful and tiring enough...but then he got his comedy event happening all over the place too like this Cadbury promotion.. sure is a whole new story to tell...which i think he'll hate me for it...so let me safe it.. but if anything imagine a man in monkey suit.. poor baby.. "working hard for his money" 

anyway..please do come by ZOUK..and you'll know what i'm talking about..it's hilarious...  our local comedians namely Harith Iskander, Papi Zak, Jason Leong, Jonathan Atherton and many more... so drop by... its only RM 25 but if you purchase online its only RM15. Get in touch with the comedians through Facebook or go to the Time Out KL website for more information. I'm telling you it's worth it.. I know what you're thinking.. and yes...alot of them ask the same question.. is he as funny at home as he is on stage.. and the answer is YES!! that's what made me fall for him... He's certainly a funny man.. a whole package..i can't stop laughing sometimes...He's the best..  So if you're reading... Love you bee... XOXO


      

So it's time...

Wow.. i wouldn't have believed if someone told me i'll start my own blog.. i mean yes, it's like the 'craze' now..practically everyone i know seem to have a blog, a journal of some-sort that they often updated about everything really.. i kinda thought that it was waaayy...too much work for me..but now, i guess i'm slowly getting sucked into this is whole thing. So this is my so-called journal. I only started this is a part of my healing process.. HUH??? what healing process you might ask...well there's this book a dear friend of mine borrowed that she found it to be refreshing.. liberating..and of course the "E" word...  nope its not 'easy' to understand...it's enlightening... i'm only in page 40...still along way to go....anyway it requests us to surround us with positive energy and thoughts that the more we kept doing this, we will become a magnet that later absorbs all the more positive energy around us. So... my question is what do we do with the negative energy that we have inside us? I guess i believe in pouring it all out.. the more we pour it out..the more we charge ourselves with the so-called positive energy...hmmm.... ok ok... enough is enough... let me introduce myself... i'm a lecturer at a local private university... a career i feel i'm blessed to have... i'm happily married to a 'stand-up comedian'... yup you heard right... Kavin Jay (Kavin Jayaram)... you might have heard of him.. my life couldn't get any better... but of course i'm a woman...hehehehe... i love shoes...clothes... and other attractive stuffs i wish i can afford... well...let me save that story for some other time.. for now.. i hope you will welcome me into this new bloggers world... i'm an amateur.. so let me know if i'm doing anything wrong or even right... any comments... its welcome..
