Luvtanya Writes

Salam Ramadhan. i know it's more than half-way through but tetap nak wish. i dont care. hehe. finding time to sit and blog properly is such a headache lately. i sometimes think i lost track of time hence the salam-ramadhan-dihujung-almost-bulan but most of the time im pretty sure i keep everything well planned. and obviously, plan tak pernah menjadi. oh well. life. what made this Ramadhan different from before was the fact i was given the opportunity, Alhamdulillah, to be a part of an awesome cult. okay kidding. takde la cult....gilo kau! it's more like a friendship-team collabration. we did Sempoi Iftar 2016 and created Sempoi Charity dengan secara tak sengaja. you know how sometimes orang cakap borak kosong means nothing? i beg to differ. our borak kosong menjadik wehh! i feel very grateful. truly i am. Sempoi Iftar 2016 was a majlis buka puasa with anak2 yatim Rumah Tunas Harapan Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Kuala Selangor. before iftar sesh besides doing some activities, we...

last Friday was just another Friday for us. bangun pagi, tapau breakfast and head on bukak kedai. me and LVDV then went straight to Publika to do our laundry pick-up. (yes, we do laundry delivery door-to-door okay!) on the way back, we saw 3 backpackers on the highway trying to get a ride. u know somewhere near Pusat Sains Negara tu. we drove by like any other cars who didnt stop. the i blurted out breaking the silence in the car, "kesian diaorang kan? macam takde je orang yang stop" ..LVDV then said "tu lah, i pon pikir benda sama. kita u-turn lah" ...i swear, im so lucky to have a partner who has the same thinking as me. so, we u-turned twice and caught up with them.  rolled down the car window and asked, "hi. where are u guys heading?" ..one of them answered, "Melacca" and we we're like "okay, we'll drop u off at the nearest bus or train station" . the other one then menyampuk " no. no bus. no train. by road to ...

a friend once scolded me for having 'nothing-in-life'. at that time, i was unemployed (quit my last job), i was having relationship issues (major unforgiven behaviour. bitchy me eh? LOL) and i was 32 but i looked like someone who is 45. teruk giler. i felt shitty inside yet being an honest friend she was, her tarbiah wasn't helping at all. i had #GGBEBS but it was managed by Sue so she said that didn't count. i didn't have a house of my own. i didn't have a car of my own. i didn't have a job. i was practically living but not happy. she scolded me like any other bestfriend would. you know, rubbing into my face all the things i didn't wanna hear. comparing them to hers and other friends. i hit rock bottom. did i mention this was on new year's eve? i didn't cry. i said thank you and hugged her before we both went to bed. i didn't sleep at all that night. i keep thinking about what she said. asking me to decide what i want in life. memang la...

its been a week plus in 2016. nothing is as planned. for myself at least. hahahahaha. i have mysteriously been affected with syndrome let everything just go with the flow. in which gave a result of a very malas and un-organized me. wtf. i am struggling to follow my own rules but with much patience and discipline i might just succeed. lulz. started this year with my bunch of good friends. u know the kind of bunch whom love u as who u are. the kind that discuss topics from love stories to yummy food and recipes to try to why ekonomi akan terus meleset this year and what shall we do about it. the kind who reminds you about life savings and about why selalu perlu be the better person no matter how some people will always hurt you. also not to forget, this is also the bunch who is still puzzled over a Vincci handbag. (bhahahahaha!) this topic we may or may not let go...but i personally akan ingat sampai mati. was just talking to my #bestlovefriend Sue the other day. told her i w...

this year 25th Nov was a bit quiet i must say. a few days earlier there was a request for it to consist only 'YOU&ME' ...aiyaaaaa. habis plan aku. *tepukdahi* but i calmly replied with a smile. of course. what else. i almost blurted the whining "but whyyyyyyyyyy" gesture. u know, with addition of battling eyelashes and all. but that didnt happen either. with all the seriousness in the voice-tone and all. smile Tania. smile. and say, 'okay'. and the day went by as smooth as ever. quiet and smooth. total quality time together which i think it was due to perubahan umur or something. but amazingly, i think it was all that we needed. that time. that moment. that togetherness. that love. that understanding. that we are looking forward to more quiet birthdays celebrations together. we have each other and that is all.  cliche giler tak?  memang. but so what? it's true. paling awesome, i got a million of thank yous after that. and THAT was all what...

u know what makes me smile? having a bestlovefriend like Sue.  she posted this on my FB wall recently... . . . . . . i love you mucho too babe! sweet kan? me and her, we've shared a million stories i think. if not maybe more. some sad ones, some happy ones, some angry ones, some disgusted ones, some over the top ones and some totally P&C ones. talking to her eases my soul. keeps me sane. she never says what i wanna hear (typical scorpio). kalo ada pon, that's totally courtesy je untuk sedapkan hati aku 5minit pastu sebijik setepet dia kasi. huwaaa. nevertheless, i  still love her mucho! then i felt anxious. if she posted this which obviously with the help of FB memories reminder, mana reminder aku wehh?!?!? i waited. and waited. and waited. . . . . . . wtf?!?! bongoks giler. dalam banyak2 pictures, they just had to compile this one?!?! nak kene carut ke cemana FB reminder nie? -_______________-" MEMANG TAK L...

jap. remember i mentioned i backpacked before in #travelloveZ to Koh Lipe last time? this time, backpacked again. only one big bag. i just had my slingbag on. BUT, ku berjaya pujuk LVDV beli another bagpack while we were backpacking! bhahahahahahahahaha. okay fine, i je yg paham benda kelakar nie. let's move on. so, we were back in Lipe again for the second time! woohoo! kali nie tidak berdua, malah berlapan. haruslah angkut satu geng kan? it was fun i tell u. i learned a lot of new things about Lipe and friendship. like seriously. everything was kinda well planned. kiranya, sempat menabung sama-sama for this trip. since our first tu trip tak sengaja yet we survived, so the second trip was smoother. agak teratur la jugak for us. from flight to langkawi to snorkeling adventure to melapok main Jenga over banana splits.  my biggest achievement, i overuled my fear of dogs! hehehe. bangga i. tidak lagi ku berlari sebatu bila nampak mereka sekilometer away. hahaha. senang h...

this is not an often thing for us. and by us i mean me and #bestlovefriend Sue. semalam kitaorang outing. and by outing i mean jenjalan with a mission. mencari barang spa. so as planned, to Sg Wang we go. the last time i was in Sg Wang was more than 6 months ago according to my Swarm App but i think i was there recently with LVDV and Gegurl cari barang jugak. tak ingat bila. dah park dah cari kedai dah beli barang...we were famished. so we decided on sushi and the nearest was Sushi Zanmai in Low Yatt. daripada atas turun paling bawah. belok kiri tak jumpa. berhenti jap tanya budak kat Aunty Anne's tu and she showed us the way. 'sampai hujung turun bawah dik' ...amboih!?! ko panggik aku adik?!?! woah!! so we did, sampai hujung turun bawah. tak jumpa. turun bawah lagi. takde. naik balik ke kiri plak. jumpa toilet. okay fine..naik atas lagi. terus tanya information counter. can u imagine kitaorang dua ekor sesat nak cari jalan blakang keluar from Sg Wang to Low Yatt?!...

got excited over Christina Perri the other day, so i posted this in my lovedbyluvtanya ig. i mean, my caption was saying the truth right? everyone basically knows that song. and once upon a time that song was dedicated to the person you were with AT THAT TIME. come on, if you're denying the dedication pon, well at least your partner must have perasan syok sendiri it was dedicated to him/her. self-claim gitu. or wish it was dedicated to us. we've all been there. there's nothing to be ashamed of. then i tweeted this: "bila dipikirkan, mungkin bole jadi punca gado nie tapi...nahh, what a waste of time" ..and LVDV replied me this: "ok xyah pikir2...saya otw!" ..gilo.  then i realised one thing, we have always been like this. from day one. playful. im pretty sure this part was developed during our friendship days. sebabnya, dulu...bebila akan terjumpa, the moment i see LVDV from a far i have this habit of jalan sambil ala2 skipping ke arah di...

If i took a later time to blog about this pretty sure this is gonna be under the #throwback segment. Hehehe..last week was crazy busy. This week harapnya everything is as planned. InshaAllah. So ceritanya ke Krabi was to surprisekan bakal pengantin sorang nie, si Zuzu. She's getting married next month...so dia n d other gals had planned for an all-girls getaway...which was perfect for a bachelorette moment! Lama giler plan undercover pasal hal nie...LVDV came up with the idea of wanting to surprisekan Zuzu. After all itu kan bestfriend dia...i can never simpan such a long rahsia from my bff i think. This one took months okay! Since LVDV punya work schedule is as crazy, we had no other choice but to find time to accomodate the dates they've already booked. Last2 we could only join them for just a day but the pre-excitement of surprising Zuzu was more than a day i tell u. Dah beli ticket flights, kene duduk diam2 ..no sharing in fb, no tweeting, no instagram-ing! One after...

sometimes u wonder, how friendship works over the years. between me n Annie n Acha, above picture explains how. they're just like family. that's why our bonding are like sisters. that's why they are my giloss-people.  who in the world would check status catu air for u pukul 1.36am? Annie would. i didnt ask her to. she just did. and informed us right away. sorry for the bodoh line..hormones pompuan tgh emosi kan..hahaha. masa the whole catu air started, she posted the listing on our fb. cray-cray right? But i guess that's how we show love n care to each other.  i dont get to see these too as often as i want to. masing2 dgn life sendiri. masing2 busy dgn anak2 (annie has a boy, acha 2 girls n 1 boy n 1 in d oven, me ada 6 cats, 1 hedgehog n 1 baby bunny..nampak x busy giler kat situ?) masing2 ada 24hrs in a day. but we've been in each other lives without fail for the past 18yrs. i have no idea how i survived them. serious.  who in the world would t...

bertuah punya budak is when ur darling gurlfriends buzzez u on whatsapp at 3pm-ish request nak makan kat umah on a sunday...ETA 6pm-ish. perah otak pikir apa nak masak...yang senang and yang sedap. *eh sedap ke? Haha* obviously my choice will always be pasta. paling senang and paling cepat. Zuzu was in town last weekend...bakal pengantin was doing some shopping. Since she stays in Terengganu, her visits to KL are somewhat special...and since dia je yang slalu takde masa melepak with Zizi n Zaza so i guess let's cook something different for Zuzu. As different as new resipi-bedal first time try out..haha. Jom masak Corned Beef Pasta! Bahan2: Pasta - i used linguini Corned beef Shitake mushrooms Cherry tomatoes Cili padi - suka hati brapa banyak pon Bawang besar + bawang putih How to: 1. Tumis bawang + cili padi sampai golden brown then add the corned beef. Biar sampai almost garing. 2. Add in garam before masukkan pasta n mushrooms. 3. Ad...

Nie namanya gigih. one of my bestfriend, Annie posted this on facebook siap tag nama me n Acha. and it all started with a hi hello conversation in whatsapp which i dont know how it lead to issue Selangor takde air. then they both were blabbing about tengah basuh baju sebab takot takde air. one thing after another, Annie siap call Syabas to enquiry. owh wait, did i told you this conversation took place at about 1130ish pm?!?! Sebab tu laa...gigih. hahahaha! ive known them like forever. high-school besties. u know..those girlfriends whom parents tak bagi kawan sangat sebab masing2 mengajar yang bukan2 and ntah apa2...ajar sneak-out laa...ajar pegi dating laa..ajar ponteng skolah laa..dan lain2 yang sama waktu dengan-nya. now, they're the best souls i know...im glad we stayed friends through thick and thin. through singles and couples. through happy and sad. through weddings and divorcings. through laki dulu ke laki sekarang..hahahaha and over the years, lepas dah beranak-pinak s...

you know what's fun having friendships yang bertahun-tahun n tahun-tahun?... reunions! just had two sessions last sunday. it's one of the best feeling when u know you're catching up with those people who are close to heart..with whatever life stories they share, whom u havent met for months but still the bonding is like you've never been apart. starting off with "miyaaaa, bulatnya perut u! bersalin next week eh?" ..followed by "u wanna go back to Kuching alisa? but u just got hereee..whyyyy" and continues with "i will always remember what u say Tania, when it's the matter of the heart..." ..and over a lunch meals n cupcakes we covered quite a bunch of topics. with or without partners the conversation is never awkward. at all. then later, when somehow somewhat a right moment comes along, whatsapp messages suddenly turns into "eh korang dinner umah la eh malam nie. i masak" ...session starts from 7pm to 1am. food, movie, camwh...
