Dip & Dip Bangsar

Honestly, I never knew the existence of this chocos restaurant. It's all happened when I wanted to belanja my sis who came back for a short holiday from Perlis. (sebab hari tu masa my birthday, she was not around..so not fair la kan)..

and i asked her what she wanted to eat.. obviously as the dessert lover, I thought i wanted to bring her to any hotel but.. tak jadi sebab kakak kedekut :p, then she opted for this..

DIP & DIP Bangsar.. she said, many of her friends recommended this place..

how about u? i have never heard of this Dip & Dip before..

and so, I asked Mr. Google and panjang berjela lah list yang keluar.. all i can say, most of the bloggers who posted about this Dip & Dip came from teenagers.. i mean the girls where chocolate is like love at the first sight :p

this restaurant is owned by Syrian Company and is located at Jalan Telawi 3 Bangsar, opposite Allianz bank and next to the bookshop.

 

the crowd.. i was extremely surprised by the crowd.. siap ada waiting list lagi nak duduk.. macam "eh kedai ni famous rupenyer, am i the last person to know"

the menu.. ok..the price.. all i can say, its not that cheap :)

Can you view the menu.. that's the best I can help :)

at first, since we were number 8 in the waiting list and we were in hurry, i asked for take away, by the time makanan tu sampai, dah dapat tempat duduk, kiterang pun duduk laa..

and we ordered

Brownie crepe..

 

Honestly, SEDAP :).. but seriously you have to share.. kalau tak muak. oh yes, this brownie crepe cost me RM28.90..

and most of it adalah di makan oleh adik I cik Yah.. emir not really a choc lover.. so-so saje..

 

 

muke gelap.. next time bawak hubby pulak.. dia tak masuk sebab tunggu dalam kerete :)

a simple thank you..

each year i will received hundreds of emails asking about tax matters. its all happened after i have posted  step by step process on how to file your tax return in 2010. till them i became a free tax consultant. and so, during the first year (2010) i genuinely replied all emails pertaining to individual tax matters. 

honestly, year by year i dah malas.. 

firstly because.. some of them expecting the answer like nobody business.. :) 

"saya dah tanya banyak kali kenapa tak nak jawab"

wah.. :)

secondly, only 10% -- i repeat 10% would reply to me and say 

"terima kasih"
"thank you'

and this year, up to 10 April 2013, walaupun saya mengaku tak balas semua email2 atau note2 pertanyaan (selain kawan i) NONE.. i repeat NONE , tak dak .. ELEK.. yang kembali kepada i yang cakap THANK YOU.. 

Can you believe it.. :)

lepas tulis tulis (dalam sibuk2 i balas jugak ok.. i selalu balas dalam train)..

percayalah..

a simple thank you can create a cute smile ..

sekian terima kasih :)

harap maaf.. asyik cerite kisah tentang kerjaya.. mungkin pada waktu ini, hati tengah sentiasa ingat pasal kerja. memang betul, dunia i sekarang ni lebih kepada kerja i. and this is how my routine looks like for the past two weeks.

keluar rumah dah pukul 7, hantar emir terus pergi keje..
keje dan keje... balik lebih pukul 8 malam straight sentiasa..
yes.. no life..
balik rumah... duduk rehat sejam dua..

zass.. terus buat keje..

either i buat keje sampailah pukul  2 3 pagi... or i tidur dulu bangun pukul 2 atau 3 pagi..

penat tok sah cerita..

ada kawan i tanya, mana best compare dengan keje dulu..

to me, here is better, semua keje ada stress kan.. ok full stop about the past..

but what i miss most adalah quality time bersama dengan family. i tak boleh lupa masa i beratur nak beli 1901 pada 19 march lepas.. ada dua orang budak perempuan beratur depan i, cashier 1901 tanya, buat apa datang klcc.. budak tu cakap baru lepas kelas dan saja singgah sini.. cashier tu tanya lagi, belajar apa..

dan budak tu cakap... "acca"

ok, cashier dua orang tu kate, wah belajar susah tu..

dan budak tu pun berlalu pergi bersama 1901 yang dibelinya.. bukan itu yang menarik perhatian i, tapi conversation after that..

Cashier A: ko tau tak ACCA tu ape
Cashier B: ko ingat aku tak tau ke..untung oo belajar tu, kalau dapat ACCA, boleh kaya, banyak gaji
Cashier A: tak nak aku, aku ada sorang kawan keje accountant, ada ACCA, tak de life.. balik malam, malam-malam orang lain dah relax2 dia baru balik keje.. dah la balik lambat, bawak laptop balik rumah dulu..tengok macam kita, keje sampai pukul 9 10 malam  lepas tu boleh terus balik.. balik sharp2 lagi.. balik rumah tak payah nak pikir2 pasal keje..

i senyum saja.. walaupun i tak ada ACCA, tapi i pun tergolong dalam mereka-mereka yang bekerja disebabkan adanya sijil ACCa, cuma, my resume adalah berlandaskan pada experience i ..so, bila cashier-cashier cakap macam tu.. i tak dapat deny...

when it comes to busy month.. . we extremely have no life...

bila i dalam train, masa tu lah i dapat tengok instagram, facebook orang, atau blog kawan-kawan.. nak komen ape2 memang malas :) lepas tu bila tengok orang bergembira, dalam hati memang selalu terdetik.. "kenapalah i kene keje teruk-teruk gini"

and to top it all, minggu ini tak ada satu hari pun i makan lunch, sebab tak sempat, i cuma ambik simple breakfast in the morning, dan makanan seterusnya adalah dinner.. sebab i have no time to eat.. sounds pathetic kan..

dan paling menyentuh hati i sebab i tak dapat nak spend my quality time with emir di waktu cuti sekolah.. nak cuti is a big no-no.. ada sekali hubby datang dengan emir ke klcc.. and as a note, untuk datang ke klcc dan bersuka ria adalah satu perkara ajaib untuk laki i.. jadi bila hubby kata he was in klcc with emir.. i was seriously excited..

tapi apakan daya.. i couldnt even turun bawah and only met them at 9.15 pm ..memang frust sangat.. to me it is something big to see them at klcc..

so once again, i always asked this question, what do i want in life? money cant buy happiness but happiness needs money.. what if i tak keje, definitely my financial boleh jadi porak peranda macam dulu .. and im not ready to go through the entire process alone anymore..

and please, i never ambitious in career.. i tak pernah aim nak jadi orang tinggi2 dalam jawatan.. untuk i, enough on what im earning every month.. i keje sebab nak tolong hubby i, keluarga i, bagi kehidupan yang lebih baik untuk keluarga kecik kami.. tapi yang bezenya i started to work in accounting firm dan itu adalah trigerring point kenapa i "terpaksa" keje dalam line ini ...

walau apa pun, i masih lagi dengan cita-cita i.. nak jadi suri rumah sepenuh masa satu hari nanti.. insyaAllah..

salam semua..

how's your day. mine, alhamdulillah. everything goes well, despite i was pretty busy with my work this week.. i mean real busy. bosses just got back from brazil last monday, and starting from tuesday, my schedule went crazy.. balik lebih pukul 8 malam .. i think i slept less than 3-4 hours per day and even worst khamis malam jumaat, pukul 2 tu i dah bangun n buat keje.. (not that "keje" yang hangpa dok pikiaq malam jumaat ok :)), but real life work.. and to top it all..

Saya demam..

sampai merah udang muke kene bakar, dengan bersin, dengan berhingus, dengan berkelubung (sejuk giler ok..) ikutkan hati, memang i dah layak sangat MC.. cos i was quite weak, but i dont think bosses agree with this idea.. n i pun tak nak MC, sebab memang banyak keje..not that because Malaysian filing deadline, but i have few other countries that im taking care of..

but anyway, to tell you the truth,.. i just love what i am doing right now. it was not easy for me in the beginning, i was having such a hard time to start from the bottom, especially with this low self esteem that "someone" has injected, but later, thanks to my new colleague who showed me the way to handle "someone" and of cos sharing her wide knowledge.

and slowly i learnt the hard way to love my work..

and Alhamdulillah, even though not there, but almost there i can say, i just love what i am doing.. of cos u always have ups and downs in between, but so long i got the pace.. im pretty happy..

kadang-kadang bila kite buat keje susah, kita akan tahu betapa berharganya duit yang kite dapat setiap bulan .. it is not an easy money definitely and i am pretty sure your other half would think the same way too.. but it is way better than you just sit around and doing nothing, gosip sana gosip sini, kutuk sana kutuk sini, benci sana benci sini, at the end of the day you get paid -- in full -- :)

i told my friend, life is never fair.. everyone has a fair share, u lebih sane, u kurang sini, u kurang sini, u lebih sana.. and jauh di lubuk hati, kite sendiri tahu mana kelebihan kita dan mana kekurangan kita.. cuma mungkin kita lupa nak measure,, so kene belajar untuk sentiasa bersyukur ..

anyway, what triggered me to write.?.. saya sudah banyak kali kedengaran orang bertanya "ok ke mira keje sana" and my answer always be "ok je, banyak keje laa, but ok laa"..

and that's the truth.. :)

and no kidding ..

and yes, in my old place, i never had a chance to learn.. in a way, i might say, i never got that trust :) when i left that place, i realized, hey my work last time was seriously a recurring work and still at the surface.

but.. that place was a place where i missed my relationship. we were really closed as colleagues last time, even until now we still contacted each other.. chit chat, phone call.. whatever will do.. gosh.. rindu waktu itu.. when it comes to warehouse sale.. it was a normal for us to sneakout kalau boss tak dak, and ambik cuti kalau boss ada.. :p

so, why i am still awake at this hour..

ape lagi, nak sambung buat keje..

till then .. daaaaaa

Kelas ceria

Seperti biasa, Mr. Husband akan ambil Emir dari sekolah..

semalam sepatunya dalam pukul 1.15 Emir akan keluar dari sekolah..

Tunggu punya tunggu..

tak keluar..

Papa Emir punyalah tanya kawan-kawan Emir

Kawan Emir cuma jawab

"Emir is doing his homework"

Ok confuse..

Nak masuk tak boleh..

Sekolah tu memang ada very strict rules tak benarkan mak ayah masuk kawasan sekolah..

So tunggulah bapaknya....

Di bawah terik kepanasan mentari tengah hari..

Pukul 1.50 baru keluar..

dan dengan tenangnya bila papa tanya

"Buat apa"

and he replied

"sweep the floor.. I help my Ketua Darjah and Alif Zaim to clean the class"

Ok.. bapaknya tak boleh nak bising-bising kan :D...

Balik sebelum tidur, I asked..

"apa Emir tolong bersihkan"

"Collect the rubbish using hands, then arrange the chairs properly"

then i cakap

"Rajinnyaaa... orang lain tak tolong?"

"I just help because I WANT TO GET MORE PAHALA and give MORE CERIA to my class"

---- Alhamdulillah ----

p/s macam ni pun i dah rasa sejuk hati ibu, apatah kalau anak boleh hafaz Quran...

Literally lazy

I'm not sure whether its a hormone, age or work that turn me to be a lazy person. Ok fine, lazy might be a strong word but I couldn't think off a better work to replace lazy. as everyone knows or I force u all to know that I only have one child.. Big enough for him to do everything on his own.. So yes, ladies, I already get back my beautiful n peaceful sleeps despite emir loves to wake up in the middle of the nite at least once - one think he can't change this sleeping routine..

Wats up next? N u know me working in that 88th building is not an easy job either. I have to face the fact that my profession requires me to go mobile n make the office as a second home. And truly my 8 hours (more actually) is like me running on a track especially in this particular month..

So each time I balik rumah, I would love to laze around, browsing my Instagram (I'm crazyyy bout this insta) n honestly I refused to do any housework.. Sikit2 tu adelah..Penat..

But I really know, it's not fair for my family. Husband n son deserved to have a home cooked meal or   Any other equivalent to it. I know things will be different if I hv a small child ;)

Seriously.. I don't like the feeling of being a lazy person because I knw I don't.. I've tried to blame my work but again pointing to other stuff doesn't seem to solve ur problem.. So what I can say

If u don't hv time.. "Bake" the time..

 ;)

14 March -- my Nuffnang's day

and i just realized i dah cash out nuffnang sekali setahun since 2010, cuma pada tahun 2011 tu sebab i tengah  nak guna duit sangat-sangat sebab masa tu i tak keje :(, i cash out pada bulan February 2011. kalau tak, sure cantik je i punya cash out date.. :)

Walaupun tak banyak tapi Alhamdulillah syukur pada kurniaanNya.. berkat dari blogging , sapa nak bagi kan setakat online depan komputer, dapat la juga..

and now, i back to where I am after 14 March..

Today i turn 31..

To be exact at 9.34 am. Alhamdulillah..

Just a quick post since I currently in a train.. yes...to work :(.. am supposed to take leave today but since the bosses are not around.. so I don't think I should waste my leave rite..

The first thing I will do on my birthday for the past 3 years is

Cashout my Nuffnang n I only cashed out once a year

And yeay.. thats my cash gift on my birthday ;)

Will post more..

Btw.. hubby bought this cute cheesy cake together with my fave chatime. N little emir chose the flavour which is a peanut butter cheese cake.

And mum bought for the March babies a red velvet cake baked by my relatives. Sedap ok..
Pls don't count the calories on ur birthday ;)

Alhamdulillah dengan segala kurniaanNya

 

When i seriously crazy to shop - Tanah Abang

I'm not a shopaholic. That's the fact.  During my traveling I would rather spend my money to visit few places rather than buying things. Yes adalah tp tak banyak. The most accurate fact is -- duit bukan banyak pun nk shopping :p

We felt a lot relief when we got to knw that Ascott hotel is just less than 10 min away from Tanah Abang -- of cos without traffic..

So, on the second day.. my sister dengan beraninya decided to go to Tanah Abang alone!! I knew mum has reminded me not to let her going alone.. but err. But err..

Dia dah besar.. let her make her own decision.. bukan dia tak tau mama tak bagi..

She said she took a bluebird cab and arrived tanah abang few minutes later..
And she went crazy with the offer. Balik tu.. I only got to talk to her around 9pm local time n she went on n on about tanah abang..

Macam mane pun honestly I lege sebab semua selamat.. that's the most important thing..

So the next day since my flight was in the afternoon.. pagi buta pukul 7.30 pagi kami dah sibuk cari teksi nk ke tanah abang..
N kedai2 buka cuma pukul 9 pagi but we arrived there around 8++..

Which I rase is a plus point...

Because we were the "pelaris pagi"..

N my sister ainaa is quite good in bargaining.. I kurang pandai sikit..

N yessss... gilee ok..unfortunately I only changed around rm600 je.. lepas tu pi mkn kedai best2 for the last two nights n guna cash.. so shopping adelah dalam rm500 kot..

Dan memanggggg tak cukup..!!

Sane credit card tak boleh guna.. debit card I takdak.. lupe pulak nk inform cimb.. so I have to make do with rm400 je.. lebih tu kene simpan utk teksi dan sewaktu dengannya..

N with less than 3 hours I'm quite happy with my buying.. cume tak sempat nk survey few stuffs.. duit pun dah takde..

Adik I tok sah ckplah.. entah berapa pasang kain dia beli..

I know bandung is a lot cheaper.. one fine day.. insyaAllah.. bapak I kate kalau pergi bandung dia nk ikut.. kalau ade rezeki lebih mmg i harap dapat tunaikan hajat bapa I dan bawak mak I sekali...
