♥ Dr. Love... Where Are You???
Can people fall out of love? I guess so. Lately people around me has been having problems which I myself can't figure out or give suggestions other than hang in there or be calm and think wisely on the decision that you are going to make.
First case:
My dearest best friend, Elle really likes this guy. But she knows that she can't have him. He is kind of more or less taken. But according to my friend, Elle, he gives hints at the same time has someone special. She has tried her best to ignore him but she can't seem to do that. She sometimes feel awkward and this feelings show. Like on one day, she tried to ignore his presence but the guy himself makes her notice him in every way. And on other days, he'd ignore her completely!
I adviced her to just forget about him when she told me about the girlfriend kind of knows her presence and her feelings towards her boyfriend. The girlfriend would always put on the serious and stern face whenever their paths cross. Sometimes the jelingan confuses my friend here. How does she know about her feelings towards her boyfriend? I mean is there any chance that the guy told her girlfriend about my friend here? In a way, I think it's best for my friend to forget him. She even thought of changing departments since she said that it is hard to act normal when he is around. I can only say that I wish for the best for you and hang in there.
Second case:
Long distance relationships seldom last. I was in this situation once(though it we were not that far away) but I kind of knew at that time that it would go no where but I just ignored the feeling and went on with it. But my friend - R's case is different. She got engaged before going separate ways since her fiance furthered his studies overseas.
The first 2 years were okay but R said that starting the 3rd year, communication with her fiance seemed to thin off. From receiving calls every week, it became only once a month and then once every 2 months and then only on her birthday - which on that year it became belated (a week later than the day), and finally all the calls stopped.
R thought that because her fiance was busy with exams. But she felt her relationshp had gone wrong somewhere. Her fiance didn't inform her the date of his arrival after completing his studies.
And they met up later than R expected. It was Ramadhan and R met up with her fiance to break fast. R sensed that her fiance had changed and the meeting went awkward. Both parties had an awkward night.
R told me that she tried to patch things up but it isn't working. And she said that she's willing to give in for their sake.
I am bit surprised and shocked to hear all this. I mean, I myself have problems finding love which I thought was kind of crucial at my age, but I guess people who found love earlier isn't guaranteed to be happy.
On the other hand, another friend, E-in, is getting engaged end of this year. She met her future fiance last July and has been dating by then. She was paired up by a friend and it seems to be serious. And guess what, by next year, most probably during Chinese New Year, she'll be married.
I guess love works in a way no one understands.

♥ Pressies For Me?
I have never treated myself on my birthday due to it being in the middle of the month and pay day is almost a week away. And being able to spend money at that time means either you are rich or stingy.
But this year due to the fact that the first pay for the bonus was made during raya holidays plus my turn for the 'main kutu' was on the same month, I kind of had extra money until the next pay day (for Raya celebrations, the pay day was made early one week so most of us had to really save and plan the expenditure until the next pay day). So I treated myself with these.

♥ Open House Part 2
Weekends are filled with open houses. And weekdays are filled with open offices. Yesterday was my office's open house. Most of the open office's have the same menu (more or less). But ours were slightly different. And the best part was it was my birthday.
I kind of chose yesterday because I wanted people to be involved in the preparation and entertaining guests so that they'll forget about my birthday. And it really did work! But 2 friends remembered and in the afternoon, the whole office started to sing happy birthday to me.
It was kind of touching and sad at the same time since I am getting old but they still remembered despite of the really enjoyable open house. In the end, it felt like I treated the whole office with all the dishes.
Am i really never good enough for you?

♥ Open Houses
This is like the second week of raya and there are still many open houses to attend. Every single weekend is rather occupied attending open houses or being the host. Usually people just host one open house but my family's style is a bit different.
Last Friday, the whole office came to my house. We kind of made turns to visit the each houses. Almost every weekend there'll be houses to attend. So my menu for that particular day was - fried meehoon, nasi impit and kuah kacang, chocolate moist cake, agar-agar santan, nuggets, prune cake and Raya cookies. I took the day off to prepare the feast for my officemate and guess what - I was exhausted! But I only felt it after showering that night! I guess I stood the whole day and being me, I'd get cramps in my legs due to low level of salt in my blood and also for standing the whole day! Sometimes I feel like a pregnant lady because of the regular cramps I get at night. But what is it to be surprised, my upper half is large. Of course I get cramps.
I use to get cramps regularly in fasting months when the food intake is only once (since I skip sahur). But I usually take 100 Plus since it is full of minerals and can increase the salt level in my blood. But that night, I was out of 100 Plus. I got cramps on both legs and awoke in the middle of the night.
Anyway, I hope the food was okay and my friends enjoyed the dishes. All made by me - ehem ehem. A colleague commented that I can really win a man's heart by my cooking. Haha.. I know that she's just kidding because she wanted me to cook asam pedas for her the other day.
Today, my youngest brother invited his friends over. I made mee kari this time (actually my mom did the cooking since she wanted to cook mee kari. I just helped with the ingredients and the garnishing). Oh by the way, yesterday my uncle placed orders for the agar-agar santan. At first he wanted to ask me to cook kuah kacang for his open house, but I guess he thought that it was a late notice since he wanted it the next day and he informed me on Friday night.
So, next week there'll be more open houses to attend. And there goes my diet again. I had to skip my colleague's open house today since I was entertaining my brother's friends. And I heard that not many turned up. Who is to blame because this time of year and on weekends, people visit each other. I already planned to go but I couldn't get away. And I just heard that there will be my batch's Beserian gathering in Bangi next week. So, I invited them as well since they'll be in Bangi. But thinking back, I think I'd just invite my classmates. The others - I am a bit shy.
My mom joked around and said that I am better off as a cook. She said that with the size of me, people will have confidence to come and eat. Maybe I'd give it a thought. Who knows, I can get side income from that. But the problem is, I just know simple dishes for small quantity only.
Emm.. better think of the menu to cook this Sunday. What will it be eh?
