Hubby came back with a bouquet of flowers and a bar of chocolate. And then we had dinner at SOULed Out. Fantastic place....a very nice place to hang out with your loved ones or to have a girly chit chat. Staff were pleasant, food was nice and reasonably priced.
Then we bought DVDs and went home to watch it.
A very simple affair. Waiting for our trip to Phuket on Thursday!

Things...
My last post about Briq was like more than a week ago. Till now, Briq is not back. We have already decided that he has found a better place for himself. Dah redha... Whatever it is, we hope he is safe and comfortable and happy. Goodbye darling!
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 37. As always, I am never sad to turn a year older as I am thankful that God has given me the strength, the good health and the happiness that I have now. But somehow, I am learning to stay positive. Negative thoughts always stop me from enjoying moment. Today I read somewhere and somehow I can relate to it. It comes from this small book MUTIARA KATA AL-QARNI.
Jangan bayangkan kebahagiaan yang lebih besar daripada apa yang anda rasakan saat ini, supaya anda tidak kehilangan apa yang anda miliki saat ini. Dan jangan tunggu-tunggu musibah yang akan datang, kerana jika demikian bererti anda ingin mempercepat datangnya kesusahan dan kesedihan.
I am more guilty of the second part than the first. My husband always told me I am not competitive enough which is not true actually. As a normal human being, I do want more than what I have right now but it's not as important as the second part about bad things that I always imagine to happen. When I was young, I always imagine bad things to happen during my happy times. And it did happen once when my dad passed away 2 weeks after I got married. Somehow that had an impact on me till now. Sometimes, I told my husband that I am scared what will happen to me if something happens to him. And the thought lingers that I am worried everytime he goes to work and come back home. I am always worried.... and I think it's about time for me to be positive and stop having such thoughts!
We are going for a trip tomorrow or rather later today. We are going to Phuket to celebrate my birthday and hubby needs a break too. He needs it cos he is still doing his work as I am typing this. *sigh*
It took me weeks to decide on which hotel to stay as I am paranoid about this and that. I read so many reviews till I can read no more. At last I made the decision, we booked and I am not going to think about it anymore till I reach Phuket tomorrow.
I have to stop these negative thoughts! Go!!

Please come home, Briq!
Yesterday night, right after we buried Wheee!! (the injured bird that I took care for 2 days and at last it died), hubby was hanging out at the porch drinking Milo and having a smoke. I was inside the house watching TV. Suddenly I heard hubby shouting something and a loud thud. I went out and saw a car stopped in front of the house and the driver went out to check something. And then hubby told him, "That is my cat!". I was still puzzled. Hubby mumbled something and he looked panic.
He asked me to get the keys to the gate and kept saying something which I didn't understand. At last, I managed to get it out from him. He said that Briq chased after another cat and dashed across the road. The other cat reached the other side of the road but Briq was in the middle of the road at that time. And at the same time, there was a black Viva and he refused to see what happened next. But then, he saw Briq fled off and he was gone! Briq was hit by the car and then he fled.
We looked around the estate a few times but no sign of Briq. I was still positive about it cos I told hubby, if he was injured, he won't be able to run away. But hubby was worried he might have some internal injuries and suffered somewhere. I thought about that but I still pin some hope that he is alright.
This morning, Briq was not at the door. He was not even within the vicinity of the house. My hope that he is alright is weakening. It's already 6pm now, nearly 24hrs after the incident, and he is still not home. I am beginning to lose hope. After talking to my hubby just now, I broke down and cried. He is one of the first cats that came to this house. And he is my hubby's favourite! Hubby is very very sad about it. Briq will be the one waiting for him outside the toilet when he is having his shower. Briq will be the one sleeping in between his legs at night. Briq will be the one to keep quiet once hubby comes out of the toilet or else he will keep on making noise till he comes out. Usually hubby will be the one to console me, but it seems it's my turn now.
Please God, let him be alright and please ask him to come back home. We are very worried about him.
We miss you, Briq!

When Things Come CLEAN!
Yesterday, KL city centre came to a standstill when all roads leading to the city centre was blocked off. People were not allowed to go into the city centre unless they had an important event to attend to or some other good reasons. The reason being, there will be a demo by a group called BERSIH and it's opposition, PATRIOT. I had no idea about all these just that from reading all the twitters about the roadblocks and the major traffic jams, I found out about it.
As a foreigner, I tried to stay away from local politics as much as possible. Maklumlah, menumpang! I stayed away from these 'hot zones' so that I won't be caught for no reason. My brother called to ask how I am and I told him, where I stayed, things are very normal. No roadblocks or whatever. The odd thing was, the road was very clear. Quite unusual actually.
Usually, I am an outsider looking in when things like this happened in another country. But this time, I am in the country where the so-called turmoil happened. From my hometown, friends and families were worried about how we were here. They must have thought that we were caught in a large crowd and running about, trying to find a place to hide. Funny! Hehehehe!!
But as much as I think it's funny, I can't help but to think that the political scenes here are quite dramatic and unstable. This is my first time where I am in a country where such things happened. I can't help but to think ...."Is this where I want to settle down?" The answer is still very vague in front of us... very very vague. What I can see now is a black hole and only God knows where our next destination going to be.
Wherever it may be, I just pray for happiness and good health.
