			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My fiancé and I had come to an agreement about a year ago that he will be doing the cooking while I do the rest of the house chores. These few days, we broke the agreement. Not by <em>paksaan</em>, of course. But I was happy to do it, because I had this urge to cook out of a sudden. Being unemployed probably brings out the housewife in me. Heh.</p>
<p>Yesterday I made some <em>ayam masak entah apa tu</em>. There were lots of capsicums and carrots in the recipe. (I found the recipe from one of my past client&#8217;s blog.) Everyone loved it and ate <em>sampai habis licin bah!</em></p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eating.gif'></center></p>
<p><Br>One thing I noticed at the kitchen tho, is that we need some <a href="http://www.paylessdecor.com/">wood blinds</a> for the window. Whenever the neighbor walks by, they could see us cooking in the kitchen. <em>Adeii.. malunya.</em> I shall get Jaya to take me to that Japanese store nearby tomorrow to get one.</p>
<p>I might make spaghetti carbonara tomorrow! ;-D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since quitting my dayjob, I&#8217;ve been worried sick about my financial, how I&#8217;d survive and stuff like that. Bunny said that I shouldn&#8217;t worry so much, <em>live each day and trust the Lord</em>. My brother on the other hand mentioned about the <em>Law of Abundance</em>.</p>
<p>And guess what? </p>
<p>My email Inbox has been pouring with custom blog requests that if I take every single of those orders, sooner or later I&#8217;d have enough money to buy me some <a href="http://www.brilliance.com">loose diamonds</a>! lol. But I had to put most of them on queue. I can only take a maximum of 2 design request at the same time in order for me to concentrate on the design. I don&#8217;t just take every single request blindly &#8211; that would be greedy to do so. <em>2 blog designs per month will ensure the best design quality.</em> *wink*</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my latest design work for a friend&#8217;s Twitter page:</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hair-sugar-twitter-background.gif'></center></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everytime something bugs my mind, I draw. It doesn&#8217;t matter where I draw. On a piece of paper, on my palm, on Photoshop..even the mirror at the bathroom. It&#8217;s therapeutic. Now don&#8217;t worry about getting a perfect drawing such as Michaelangelo&#8217;s or Da Vincci, just scribble anything that comes to mind. A stickman is not bad either. The whole point is having something to scribble out what comes to mind.</p>
<p>A smiling sun?</p>
<p>A pot of gold?</p>
<p>A bunny jumping on the bed?</p>
<p>Whatever it is, drawing doesn&#8217;t require great talent. One can draw a circle filled with dots and still see the artistic side of it. :-P</p>
<p>I did a little drawing too this morning. I did an avatar for an online community I joined, but I decided not to use it in the end. </p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/peekaboo2.gif'></center></p>
<p><Br>Maybe I should use it as <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/">photo cards</a> instead. lol.</p>
<p>So, err.. my point here again: when in need of comfort, pick a pencil and draw. You&#8217;ll never know what will come out of it. :-)</p>

Worse, why lah EVERYONE at home have to be somewhere else on a scary, rainy Saturday like this??? The other housemate went out to dunno-where, while the other went out to prepare for his pasar Ramadhan. Here I am, sitting inside my cold room trying not to think of all the scary stuff that might come out off the cupboard or under the bed!</p>
<p>Before all that happen, I have to make sure my <a href="http://www.2insure4less.com/">cheap insurance</a> is still valid. Mana lah tau kan&#8230;. lol</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love talking to my Bunny. I love talking to him about life, business, relationship, friendship, religion, plans.. love. Sometimes (if not most of the times), I&#8217;d refer to Bunny for every decision that I wanted to make just so he could make sure I still keep my feet on the ground. Because sometimes, I tend to make decision I&#8217;d regret in the end. </p>
<p><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/lovebirds.gif' align='left'>Bunny and I, we&#8217;re two very different person. He&#8217;s the fire. I&#8217;m the ice. He&#8217;s straight-forward with his words while I sugar-coat mine. Having these 2 different personalities living under the same roof is definitely not something <em>easy</em> to go along with. There are times when we&#8217;d argue (and I wish I had some <a href="http://www.goodsamvip.com">motorhome insurance</a> in case we did something to the house. lol) and not talk to each other for hours. Like what happened last week. And being me, the super emotional woman, after an argument or a fight, I&#8217;d go to bed angry and not wanting to say a word to him. Even when he said &#8220;Goodnight, love..&#8221;.</p>
<p>The morning after would be the day I dread the most. Bunny would leave for work and give his usual hugs and kisses before that, and I&#8217;d still sulk the whole day feeling angry and bitter. You must be wondering why? Oh, slap me for that but I&#8217;m just like that! If he doesn&#8217;t apologize or say the word <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, love..&#8221;</em>, I&#8217;d still be angry. And so the day went by. Bunny would text me on the phone, asking how I&#8217;m doing &#8211; and I wouldn&#8217;t bother to reply. I refused to talk to him the whole evening &#8211; until he comes back home that is. When that happens, I&#8217;d be on the bed, pretending to be sound asleep. :-P</p>
<p>So last week, Bunny came to bed, hugged me and said, <strong>&#8220;Love, who else would I want to spend my lifetime.. if not with YOU..&#8221;</strong> </p>
<p>Trust me, that was waaaaaaaaaay better than <em>I&#8217;m sorry</em>. *hee*</p>
<p><strong>Moral of the story is:</strong> Try to stay positive. Look on the brighter side all the time. Don&#8217;t waste your time devouring into the sadness and bitterness, because at the end of the day, it&#8217;ll only make you a sad and angry person &#8211; when everything is actually A OKAY!</p>
<p>[You may throw up now. lol]</p>

<p>Oh sweetie, of course I don&#8217;t mind you using it! It was sooo cute, it drove me to tears when I opened my email this morning! Bunny loves it too. I showed him the scrap photo and he thinks it&#8217;s cute too. :-)</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how to thank her enough. Wish I have lots of $$$ so I could send her a gift coupon for a week stay at the New York City hotel perhaps. Hehehe.. </p>
<p>But she knows I appreciate her kindness. Right, sweetie? *wink*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was hoping that drawing an illustration of me sleeping peacefully would help with my insomnea. But NOOOO.. I had to stay awake whole night, trying to recite the multiple tables. Hey, I&#8217;m no genius but reciting multiple table 8 and 9 helps me sleep!

<p><Br><br />
Not the heaviest of blog subjects but last night, I had this weird dream. Almost everyone I knew were in it! My mom, my dad, <a href="http://www.kastum.com/orang_sabah">my brother</a>, my cousin Cat, another cousin Alex, dad&#8217;s friend (I forgot his name), my late grandma .. even my ex was there!! The &#8220;story line&#8221; consists from me riding a bike with my mom, crashing my ex&#8217;s wedding party with my brother and cousins <font color="#e9233b">(hey, I will NEVER do that ok?)</font color>, ghost story telling with my late grandmama and swimming at the beach with my family&#8230; That was too much of a &#8220;story&#8221; for one night. Really. </p>
<p>Anyway, I woke up feeling exhausted but mighty GLAD to have put an end to it.</p>
<p>Next time, I&#8217;ll wash my feet before going to bed.</p>
