The Lives of 2 beautiful souls + 1 more..*love*

Blissed..

Contented..

Still basking in marital bliss..But wedding frame have yet to be given..Blardy *toot* We have been married for 5 months' plus and you still have yet to give us our wedding frame!! To think we were patient and waited for you to call us and tell us its ready BUT you DIDNT and we HAD to call YOU!!

The last call was the week before the housewarming and you claimed to be at the hospital and said you would get back to us asap..Blardy liar!! My mummy called up recently and you blardy told her the frame is no longer at your house, thus you thought we picked it up already?!! And today, you got the cheek to call me today and rant on about us NOT calling you and that you need to know which pictures we chose cos its been so long ago?!!

BLARDY *toot*

@#$%&*^&^$^%^@#!@##!!!!!

If you weren't heavily recommended, I wouldn't even consider you in the first place!! :S

This is how you treat your customer?!!

Wedding frame aside..We waited patiently for your call to let us know when our wedding pictures were ready..Relatives nagged and nagged yet we waited..When we finally called, you said its not ready and said that you can give us the unedited disc of pictures and video..*toot*

So what if you are an established business..Thats not a farking way to do business!!

Anyways, DO NOT even think I am going to recommend you to anyone..I thought your name precedes you..Boy, was I wrong..

My mummy is so going to complain to the one who recommended..BAH!! Asking us which pictures for the frame..UNBELIEVABLE!! Just freaking admit that you forgot!!!!

I have every right to be angry!!!

If I am not having a bad sore throat now, I would gladly give you a piece of my mind!! You are damn lucky to be talking my hubby who was very patient and listened to your LOUD rants(I can blardy hear what you were saying cos its so freaking loud!)

I have yet to blog about how rudely you ask about the frame itself..Having the nerve to tell us to come down and choose the frame again!!

BAAAHHH!!

This is the last time I am blogging about this lousy business!! Harapkan nama jer..Servis tak ada.. :S

Don't ask which business..

**********************************************

Okay, the top entry was written yesterday but I couldn't continue cos my in-laws wanted to use my pc to msn with my uncle who is currently in Japan.. :)

So, what did I want to blog about?..

What do you think of a couple who communicates through msn tho they are in the same house?!

Hahaha!!

DH and I just did that..He was at the living room whereas I was at the study room.. :P

Now he has moved and is here with me now.. :)

Oh! Now I am busy blogging while reading the recipe book..Couldn't decide what to cook today! If possible, I want to try out all the recipes..Crazy!! Hahaha!!

That brings me to my next topic..

Why do couples who live in their own crib, do not cook?

I find it weird..

Hey, look at the one blogging, the one who never cooks unless its a absolute necessity, the one who used to have maids to cook, the one who only know to bake..Hehehe..

That was the old me..

You can't blame me for not being able to cook..I was brought up that way..

But my mummy would make sure I would help her cook on the weekends(the only times my mummy will cook as she works on weekdays)..That is when I slowly gain the skills..And homec classes and attending ASFN course in poly helped too..

So when we were renovating our lovenest, DH told me that I am the utmost decision on decorating the kitchen..Why? Cos I told him that is my domain..My wish is to be able to cook for us and for our family, and also to be able to be independent and learn the ropes..

Though the decision was mine, DH and I discussed and decided to have a black and white concept for our kitchen..We managed to get matching table and chairs from IKEA! :D

I remembered how kan-chiong I was in the beginning..I bought all the spices, sauces and other miscellaneous items..The moment the fridge was delivered, I filled it up with lotsa of food items..In the end, I didn't managed to use all and had to throw some away as they wilted..Then, I learnt that I had to plan what to cook first before buying the ingredients..I too learnt that I could store the basic items and get the rest later..Alhamdulillah, that minimized wastage and we saved a lot! :)

So that brings me back to my topic..

We, homeowners, paid a lot for our renovations, don't we?
We even took loans to pay the renovations..Then why do some do not fully utilize their kitchens?

Is the kitchen just for show?

Or is it the couple, themselves? Are they those who rather dine out?

I have a couple of examples..

I will share 1..Btw, this person/family is related to me so if you think I am talking about you, you are wrong! And if you are related to me, this may or may not be about you..Don't anyhow assume..If you are sensitive, I suggest you don't read as I am not accountable to your sensitiveness..Hah!

This couple have a beautiful home and have children..On weekdays, they will send their children to their parents' and collect them after work..On weekends, they are rarely home..

What confuses me is that they have a gorgeous kitchen and they have a maid! What confuses me as well as irks me is when they pop by my place and had a little tour and asked to see our kitchen..

"Everyday you have your dinner at mummy's?"

"No, I cook", I replied..

They looked at me with disbelief(told you that I rarely cook when I was living with my family and they knew that)..

"Cheh, nak step independent konon"..

Now that comment touched a sensitive nerve in me..

Nak step independent konon???

Excuse me!! I beg to differ!!

Firstly, I do not 'nak step'..I want to be independent..My daddy had a little talk with me about me staying on my own..He knew how pampered I was at home, having no housework and no cooking to do..He told me that that will have to change once I stay on my own..I have to clean my own house, cook and take good care of my husband/family..He also added that he do not want me to be like some people he knew who stay on their own but still burden their families..

"Burden?" I asked..

"Yes, suruh orang tua to jaga the children is fine but to burden orang tua to prepare dinner as well..There are more mouths to feed and being married and having your own family, you should be independent..Then why you get married, have your own house and have a family in the first place?" was his reply..

Daddy said a lot more and I just listened..

Thus, I reflected..

I was adamant not be like those examples..

It was hard initially..Missing my family was one point..Having the whole house to myself to clean was another..I was also learning how to cook and also adapting to living with DH and his mannerisms..

So when that couple came and said those comments, I was irked..I was annoyed..Out of respect, I kept silent..

I could have turned out to be like them but I chose not to..

I want to make my daddy proud..He saw his pampered girl trying to be independent..He encouraged..He cheered me on..

He too never fails to ask if my food is edible whenever I asked him to come and eat at my place..Hehehe!!

And best of all, he praised my cooking.. :)

I want my hubby to be proud of me too..He often bring homecooked food to work and his pals get jealous..Hehehe..

My Darling Hubby is so proud of me and he always remind me that..*love*

I remembered when I first started cooking and he got nervous..

Hahaha!!

I love the fact that I do not depend on my family..I love the fact that they can come to my crib when they wish too and that my crib is clean, neat and tidy (most of the time! Hehehe!)..

I knew I love to cook since I was young..I just did not have the opportunity to cook..Whenever I tried too, my maid will brush me away, telling me that I would make a mess..Then, my mummy would nag that I am a girl yet I do not cook..If only, she knew I wanted to..

Now I have my own kitchen, I am able to cook to my heart's desire..Nothing pleases me more than anything is my family appreciating my cooking and encouraging me to cook more..I love it when my sisters call me and said that they are coming over and ask what am I cooking.. :D

Maybe our situation is different from those who have a kitchen but do not use it..Maybe they do not need to or maybe..

Oh well..

To each his own but the one I am talking about has a lot of opportunities to utilize their kitchen but simply refuse to..That is just sad..

So Sakkie, now you know why I was delirious when I got the recipe book! :D

Sometimes, DH volunteer to cook and that always made me nervous..I love my kitchen!! What mess he would make!!

Oh well.. ;)

Sometimes DH's dishes are delicious and he got over-confident..

But he still need to remember that..

Hahaha!!

I need to be there when he cooks! :P

What I love most is when we are cooking together.. :)

So!

I made a promise to myself..

I will still cook when I am pregnant..

I will still cook when I have children..

I will even cook with my children! :)

I already have recipes books for infants, toddlers, young children..Hehehe..

I am sure some will say..

"Its not that I do not want to cook..I have no time..I am busy..I have lots to do..You don't know the work I bring back home.."

Bla bla bla..

To me, those are just excuses..If you do want to cook, you will have to find the time to..

Another best part of cooking is that I can ensure that my family is eating the right and healthy food.. :)

Here's something interesting to share!

:)

With that, I don my apron with pride..

I love cooking!!

Tata!! :D
