should i...

... wear a t-shirt that screams "I am divorced" ?

It's amazing how productive the past 48 hours have been for me. My hamper partner and I finished 30 date (as in kurma) gift baskets to be delivered Monday. Went to Nilai 3 for some procurement activities. Went to Tesco Kajang and Carrefour Jalan Peel (whoever would've thought that there'd be one there!) for more stuff... Chatted on Stickam ( I need a webcam, please!) at night with a few friends... All this on Saturday.

On Sunday went for lunch with Hanazie at KLCC - and found a top at Zara that will either make me look like I'm dressed like I'm on the prowl for a new man or like a "tong dram (according to Ms Hana)". It's a very iffy dress - it will either make me look gorgeous or downright tempayanish. It's a KIV for now but I have a strong feeling that I will be rushing off to Zara before the week ends.

After the mini shopping expedition went with Ayu to take Ali and Adian (why am I the only one with a name not starting with an A) to KizSports & Gym at Great Eastern. We tucked the kids away there and went to Starbucks for the usualy beeyatching session.

Then I had to do a bit of a National Service. The Ex asked me if I would accompany him and Ali to his cousin's daughter's birthday party.

When he asked me, all I could think of was my dad's words the night before I went to court: "Don't shut him out, he's still family. It's ok if there's no jodoh between you two, but don't shut him out completely."

So I said yes.

Before I knew it, there I was at The Ex's cousin's place in Melawati sitting a table away from him watching Lolly the Clown making balloon animals. It was funny because it was the first time that I met some of the relatives - I thought, baru nak berkenalan, if only they'd knew that I'm no longer with The Ex...OH heck, by next week everyone in the family would know. And I thought, this is it, this is my last public appearance together with him at HIS side of the family's gathering. His closest family should be ok but definitely not extended family la kan?

There were some awkward moments at the party, which I shall not elaborate here. And I'm sure this Hari Raya will bring loads of awkward moments too. But oh well, I'm happy.

Here's to another fun week celebrating Ramadhan!

SeaDemon said...

Arrived in KL, pigged out again at the chee cheong fun joint at Damansara Uptown.

nachos said...

i so agree with you. aku need a makeover. tulah..i dont really hv the time lah. anyways, since i am already short of time (i always do things last minute), am planning to go to loreal's at masalam shah alam next weekend..(walaupun puasa-at least ada something to do to kill the time-lama tu kalau aku do my hair at least 3 hours ok). err.. lps tu shoes, lps tu pants..i bought a blouse (should hv bought more)last week..handbags dah cukup dah. finnn..one thing at a time ok..asalkan everything is done before i start my new job..heh heh.

nachos said...

yo min, "balloon" type top? cannot elaborate further kah? anyways, the dates gift basket is sooo lawa (intai kat meandmylife's blog hi..hi) i'll confirm the nos tomorrow ya. *aku baru nak balik awal nak window shopping pastu terpaksa cancel sebab kena jumpa apek tua sorang ni kat klang, heii..mood aku memang tak baik ari ni*

Hehe. Maybe when you have children you need to be in speaking term with the ex. I mean, he is still your children's dad, no matter how suckie he is or was.

But one thing for sure, I will NEVER want to be in any speaking or civilised term with my ex. He didn't only beat me (which I fought back like crazy lioness), he also cheated on me after 10mths of marriage and as if like those are not bad enough, he got his staff pregnant, the one he cheated me with.

Thank God for no kids. Altho he did accused me of being barren because we were married for 10mths and I haven't got pregnant. What the bloody fck, right? It was in mths, not years. Geez.

So I guess I have all the right reasons in this world not to be civilised or on speaking term with my ex, hahaha! But sincerely, I do hope you could be on speaking terms with ur ex because kesian kat budak2. At least they still have a dad and a happier mom, eh! :) Take careeeee!

p/s: Sila la beli that dress, haha.

nachos, when you say "do" your hair what do you plan to do with it? We actually have a plan for your hair already! hahahaha... haiya i also dunno how to explain the Zara top.. it's a "lemon drop" cut. Jom la ikut aku pegi KLCC senang cerita!

meandmylife, nachos silap intai!

faiez, hey you. that was one of the most awful divorce stories I've ever heard :( Anyway, yup having kids are much much more complicated when you're divorced. And yeah I try to keep things as amicable as I possible can. And I better get to KLCC soon because there's only one in my size!

nachos said...

laa..aku silap intai ke? that's not the one eh? what i plan to do with my hair is a surprise la wei. cannot la tell here. so when are u planning to go to klcc again? err..after i am done with my hair can aah?

SeaDemon said...

I'd look funny if I go for a hair do.

nachos said...

hehe seademon..side-parted, center-parted or departed? ergh..nampak sgt aku tak keje ari ni min, aku sibuk buat hand-over list jer..warrgghh.

SeaDemon said...

Nachos...dunno la. My hair very apartisan one. So very non-conformist.

Departed would be easiest.

all jazzed up said...

nachos, my hair is thinning la.. takut la wei.

seademon, soon i will become you...heheheh.. departed hair.

SeaDemon said...

Jazzy, at least you'll know that some of the world's sexiest people like to tiru me...Agent Skinner, Telly Savalas, Yul Brynner, Captain Jean Luc Picard, Mahatma Gandhi, Semi Value etc etc

nachos said...
