Menang membeli alah memakai

Yesterday I was too damned busy the whole day in the kitchen.… I don’t know why I was so very rajin. Macam dapat mimpi je… Padahal my plan that morning was trekking to Bukit Shahbandar. Then after that I decided to go to the gym to register balik. Its been quiet sometimes I have’nt been there, could be four months or more… I think. Badan pun dah makin seksi… Suddenly, I have to cancel all my plans, only because of a whisker.

When I tried to find my whisker yesterday morning, I was stucked with my unused dinner sets, stored in my cabinet. From classic, contemporary to rustic one. And all of them were piled up like an advert Gardenia sandwich(I’m too damned sure all of you can imagine that scenario….ehmm). Then the hard work began…Puteri Abu turun ke dapur… Dari unpacked to cleaning then finally re-arranging, Puteri Abu did the work all alone... Well done.. hehe.. (terpaksa memotivasikan diri sendiri)

It was a pretty hard job actually, sorting and matching things. And I found almost quarter of them were chipping, oh my…… I put aside all the chipping ones and gather them in a big box.

After I finished with my dinner sets, I checked the upper level of the kitchen’s cabinet. Once again I was shocked with my silverware, kesiannya macam… Dayang Senandong. I took all the silverwares out and dumbed them at the garage.

My hubby started membebel when he saw all those things, what a waste he said to me… Biasalah kan kalau dah menang membeli alah memakai…

Memang Nina sendiri mengakui pinggan mangkok Nina ni ada yang tak pernah dipakai langsung, sumbat je dalam cabinet, especially barang Tupperware tu.. Bukan nye ape.. Nina ni memikirkan beli barang-barang semua tu untuk kemudahan bila buat kenduri kendara tak susah pinjam sana pinjam sini. Tapi yang mahalnya, Nina ni ada satu tabiat buruk. Pantang tengok pinggan mangkok yang cantik-cantik, lemah lah Nina bila melihatnya, mesti nak beli punye. Nina kalau beli barang tak kira brand asal cantik dan berkenan dihati.. just grab it.

Ingat pula kes pinggan mangkok Bone China Nina, hem.. nak ditelan terasa pahit, nak dibuang terasa sayang. Nina start collect bone china tu dari 12 biji cawan B$10.90each without the saucer, 12 biji side-plate B$11.90each dan 2 biji mangkok B$56.80each. Kemudian collection Nina makin lama makin bertambah dari soup bowl hinggalah ke gravy boat. Cuma hanya tinggal nak beli dinner plate sahaja lagi. Tiba-tiba sis Ryn sibuk spread the news BONE CHINA was made up from animal’s bone ashes. Allahuakbar… macam terkena panah halilintar rasanya bila mengetahui perihal hikayat BONE CHINA tu. Then dari sini lah Nina stop from buying Bone China… Kalau shopping kat Robinson, Takashimaya ataupun Isetan diSingapore.. Nina hanya melihat Bone China tu dengan 1001 macam perasaan… hem… cantiknye… cawan… hem… sayang… bangkai haiwan.

Akhirnya semua Bone China Nina jadi perhiasan sahaja.. Kalau my hubby Tanya kenapa Nina tak gunakan, Nina jawab takut pembantu pecahkan. Padahal dalam hati Tuhan saja yang tahu (my hubby didn’t know about the bone china story – kalau dia tahu habislah… Nina).

P.s - When I start emptied the kitchen’s cabinet, my maid was looking at me with narrowed eyes. I knew what was on her minds ‘Mati gue dikerjain lagi nih… beresen terus…’ barangkali lah haha. But I did’nt mean to ask her to do all those work, eventhough she asked me with half-hearted.. I just ignore her let her finished the laundry and mopping the floor.

Note:- I cant post this entry because of my connection failure. It should be posted last Saturday, 8th Jan 05
