We had a meeting yesterday at KL city center. So we drove and parked our car at the nearest train station (Bukit Jalil), then took the train to city center.

The image above is for illustration purpose only

We came back few hours later to find that Xiao Bai (our car) was stuck in the 3 layer parking, it was only one layer when we parked there. The irony, the cars behind us (left and right) left already, but not the one that was directly behind us.

You get the frustration? We thought we can go back home enjoy the cool weather (it was raining after a week of super hot day!) and the rest of our Sunday.

We peeked inside, both cars (in front and behind us) pulled the hand-break so there was no way to push one of those away. Great! We paid RM2 for whole day parking just to get stuck. Can’t we have a parking attendant, at least, to monitor the parking and all since there is no proper parking line there?

We waited for few minutes and decided to go somewhere else. We saw people kept on coming out from the other side, each of them brought a red bag with football gifts. So we followed where they came from and arrived at a hall. Apparently there was some event going on, an acrobat from China, the one where they stretched their body like there is no limitation – oh so elastic. My first time seeing it live, although through sneaked in and no seat *Ooopss*

We spend around 15 minutes or more there and left to the car park again. Then waited for another 30 minutes. It was almost 7pm and I can’t wait to go home for dinner. Thank God the owner of the-Scoda-in-front-of-us came and quickly drove his car away for us.

We left with anger, which we weren’t sure whether we should point it to the car in front us or behind us. Sigh.

While I still stayed with my parent, every night my Mum surely asked us: What do you guys wanna eat on tomorrow? Sometimes Mum ranted that she ran out of idea of what to cook. Not sometimes, but very often, a lot more than she mentioned about weight loss pills for women. Ah, the dilemma of a housewife that I didn’t understand. Never thought it will happen on me too.

But now, I find myself asking this what-to-eat/cook-for-today kind of question to hubby on every morning, aside from the work stuff. The circle of life, heh.

Now that we have so many meat (from hubby’s trip) & vege stock in the fridge, we still face the headache. Too much choice hurts, that’s why less is more.

So instead of planning our meal firsthand like usual, I told him that I’ll just close my eyes and grab whatever meat from the fridge. Then we decide how to cook from there. I did and what I grabbed was minced meat.

In the end, here’s what we have, all in one bowl – cabbage, broccoli, prawn, minced meat, fillet fish. Covers up the rice.

Lesson of the day: When in doubt, don’t think or plan further. Be spontaneous and see where it leads you.

Dream comes true! Can you feel my excitement?

What does a home mean if there is no sofa, right? So ya, we need a sofa, but it wasn’t in the priority list and we didn’t plan to spend too much in it.

We kept on hunting by looking around local furniture shop. But even the-most-basic-with-ugly-fabric two or three seat couch costed RM600. A rather decent one was RM1000 above. I even searched online classified ads, but a second hand sofa is out of our budget too. Ugh, dream killer.

Not giving up, hubby and I searched on IKEA site and found the two-seat Klobo {link here} at RM349 is the lowest-rate in the market. We love the minimalist design too. Despite the low rate, We still wait for the right time to purchase.

On a side note, I have a tendency to search on Mudah – an online marketplace in Malaysia {link here} for preloved/second hand IKEA stuffs.

Guess what, early this week someone posted a three-months-old Klobo for sale at RM250 in Mudah! Cut the story short, we got the Klobo from a friendly European couple. After disassemble, it fitted perfectly in xiao-bai a.k.a our sedan.

Looking just like a brand new couch. What’s missing is props, like cushions and frames on the wall behind it (where I added dot dot dot on the above pic ). We don’t plan to add a slipcover. A red throw will do the job.

Lesson of the day: if you want to purchase something but on tight budget, keep your eye closely on online marketplace / forum / local 2nd hand shop (if any).

Hubby had an outstation trip for the past few days, but he’s back yesterday.

I have the weekend all by myself, where I got to date Rainie Yang’s latest Taiwan Idol Drama – Drunken To Love You. I’m on episode 10 now, new episode is released on every Monday, ugh.

When I’m alone, I have the laziness to cook cause.. hello? spend so much time to prepare just to fulfill one person’s stomach. Wasting time. That’s why I’m wishing for a tablet/pill that can be eaten when I’m busy or lazy to cook.

On Sunday, I just didn’t feel like cooking rice and proper meal anymore. So, easy way out, a mee-hoon soup! With Maggie cube + whatever that I like; in this case carrot + green bean + beef meatballs + left-over beef meat.

And, he came back home with all these frozen meats (refer to above pic) occupying more than half of his luggage. Thanks much to my mother-in-law, we can skip our weekly grocery shopping. Oh wait, vege is finished, so yea, gonna shop for that.
