The Island of Gods

Salam...

Our closing vacation for the year 2008, Bali... 5D/4N @ Bali Garden Hotel.
'twas my second time there, and the first for both MAM & AZA... so, more or less I was their informal tour-guide kehormat.. hehhehe... unpaid!

I was responsible to do the hotel booking, etc... and settled for this 3- star rating together with 2.5 days tour... first look at the hotel facade, I was like, oh no! I've made a mistake here... coz they have patungs here and there (but then again, kat Bali kan, kat mana yg takde pon???) Nevertheless, once you stepped-in, greeted by the staff (tips here and there ;) we found that it wasn't bad at all... apparently there were lots of mat/ minah salleh here and there (banyak gila ikan2 duyung yg bergelimpangan, semoga suamiku tabah sepanjang di sana, hik!) we were the minority ones...

one thing that I had problem in Bali was the food... susahnya nak masuk tekak... I dunno why, but it seemed that the tour package that we took (they provide lunch + dinner for the 2.5 days) always brought us to those restaurants that has bad cookings... dah laa aku ngan lakiku ini sangat menitikberatkan pemakanan yg pedas (plus MAM is really into masin2 punya taste)... sekali these 2 things were the main thing that they were lacking... cheh! so on those remaining days yg takde tour tu, we opted for Masakan Minang... rented a bike, and off we go to any restourant or rumah makan that seemed appealing to our eyes... tapi sampai bila pon boleh makan makanan minang yg berminyak2 tu kan? last2 pegi Wong Solo Ayam Bakar (yg ada kat area2 Ampang ni jugak)... "Baik makan kat Malaysia jek", kata lakiku... hehhehe... "Malaysia tak pandang laaa, we have Pelita, tomyam, nasik lemak what!", aku membalas semula... maka kejadian makan dengan rakusnya pon bermula...

apart from that, I love the culture.. walaupon sana sini terpasang colok, and offerings in the woven coconut leaves were everywhere... this what makes theirs unique (maybe I should be anthropologist, kan?) I love the cleanliness (my FIL experince: he flicked his cigarette butt, and right in front of his eyes, a local people picked it up, and put it in the trash can next to him... he said malu sekejap... heheheh), and the safeness of the place (they believe in karma, even how 'brutal' they looked pon, when they greeted you, they greeted with humble and polite gestures...

me: we should repeat back coming here, lots of other things to see... banyak tpt boleh gi belanja2...
MAM: sekali cukup... boleh gi tempat lain pulak...
me: alaaa, first time kita absorb as much as we can, second time datang, kita relax2, manja2 kan diri, stroll by the beach lama2, beli belah sana sini...
MAM: wahhh, awak punya type of vacation ni banyak belanja kan?
me: (tersengih kerang)...

I SUGGEST: you get yourself to Bali, go to their spa... on the last day there I managed to get myself a Balinese massage, body scrub (with beras ke hapa ntah, kulitku seperti bayi selepas itu.. hahah), and mandi bunga dalam tub yg besar... RM80 jek! Murah ok??? Nyesal aku tak pegi dari first day lagi...

@ Tanah Lot, it was raining, and high tide... so takleh ke sana... waaa, melepas lagi!!!

Kecak & Fire Dance @ Uluwatu... ngeri akak... dorang menari tak pakai baju

sunset @ Uluwatu, accompanied by the dance... Subhanallah

yeah! Pimp my ride... Peace out!

Dinner @ Jimbaran Bay... ok laaa, ala2 romantic gitu...

Weekendku yang Berduit

Salam...

Last Saturday was fun! I entered a treasure hunt competition organized by my company... I was one of the "bidan terjuns" for the team, as same as Kak N**mah (the driver)... My team consisted of Kak N**mah, Bi*in (navigator, yg kadang2 menyesatkan kitorang), me and F*ra as navigators...

seriously, all this while kalau main, I just tried to crack the questions with what within my head... sekali main dgn F*ra, she was well equipped with GPS, a notebook will Google- enabled, a minute- away phone call to her hubby (yg dimana hubby dia mmg dah duduk depan pc or laptop mencarik jawapan, if she calls...) wahhh, very competitive one!

it was tiring, hot and almost got me broken into two... susah ok? there are times when I was actually dah lalu depan jawapan 2-3 rounds, but I didnt see it... I mean, how can you know that was the answer when you didnt break the clue? tee hee hee... tp when F*ra approached me, she solved it! she said that was the answer!!! Man, talking about the regular player... they know what to find, and whatnot... crazy laa all these people... they really think out of the box...

overall, it was cool... I enjoyed it very much... especially the part that we are the champion... woohoo!!!! sapa sangka cempedak dah jadik nangka! RM1500 for the champion to spend... hmmm, ok laa tu, weekendku yg pasti dikenang kerana mendapat free money, for sure it was not an easy one!

Ok laa, next year boleh masuk lagi... (aikkk? harituh masa tgh panas2 terik tu dah janji taknak masuk dah????? I'm blinded by those prizes... LOL)

Raya Hajiku

Salam...

harinih baru sempat nak update blog... on what happened masa Raya Haji last Monday...
mak aihh, hujan, hujan dan hujan jek haritu... konfem laaa esoknya tu aku demam...

malam raya tu... kami anak beranak (aku beraya kat umah MIL aku) pegi spa... hahaha, dah takde kegiatan lain yang lagi berfaedah laa nak buat... nak lalalala takde mood, nak shopping masing2 cam kepenatan, nak kluar jalan2, mcm jem jek area2 KL that nite... so aku laa yg suggest gi spa... and semua setuju.. maka aku, lakiku, MILku and 2 adik iparku pon folo... (FIL ku tak ikut, pasal dia domam)...

sampai jek sana, 4-4 perempuan ni masuk... lakiku tak masuk... dia just dok kat waiting area tu and layan tv (at some point dia dah bosan tunggu kitorang, dia ngan selambanya cakap kat tokeh tu dia nak tumpang tido kat dalam one of the massage room)... selamba tak? hahahaha... rock on babeh! so dalam lebih kurang 2 jam selepas itu, kitorang dah setel (MIL aku sponsor semua org... bestnya! Thank you, mak!), headed home, and tido... ready for tomorrow...

besoknya tu (raya yeay!) most of us terlajak... sib baik dibangunkan oleh suara2 takbir kat surau sebelah rumah ni... apalagi kelam kabut laa mandi... sbb tgk jam dah nak dekat 8.15am... (padahal abah aku dah cakap dah mlm td, esok solat raya 8.30, jgn lambat)... sekali lambat gak daaa... last2... yg sempat solat raya hanya aku, suamiku dan abah... yg lain, selamat!!! sengih kerang jek laa bila aku tanya... hahahha...

pastu acara korban pon berjalan... dalam hujan... aku ni toksah cakaplaa kan, aku mmg jenis excited2 benda2 camni... nasib aku pompuan, kalau tak aku turun padang punya... tp, aku tetap took part.. jadik photographer, guna camera In*... tak pakai payung tu, konon kebal laa ngan hujan... pastu tak puas hati gak, carik payung, amik AZA, carried him and bagi dia tgk apa bapak dia buat, and what happened to the lembus... dia cam excited, sama cam mak dia gak... hehehe

kami yang tersengih melihat keajaiban dalan hujan...

ni lah keajaibannya... melihat suamiku in action... yeah, way to go, my man!

sejuk perut MIL aku tgk anak dia bergaul dgn masyarakat... ;)

pastu dah dibahagi2kan daging, aku pon layan laa dengan membuat daging panggang dicicah bersama kicap + cili + bawang... sluurrppp.. semua cakap sedap.. heehhe... (tiba2 teringat kat nenek aku yg mmg akan buat daging panggang ni masa raya2. Nek, roz tak balik raya sob..sob..)

lps maghrib, pegi jalan raya pulak kat rumah sedara @ rawang, sedapnya cekodok pisang dia... then beraya pulak rumah parents biras aku yg kat selayang tu... sedapnya cucur udang dia... aikk? baru perasan, dua2 rumah aku pegi ada cekodok... layannnn....

besoknya tu aku MC... oooo, tak kebal rupanya aku ni... hmmmm

Maaf Tanpa Syarat (snippet)...

Salam...

A friend of mine forwarded this article from http://saifulislam.com...
Some points to ponder upon... How great it is, the affection and love towards our own parents... can we blame our parents on mistakes that we did?

“Beruntunglah si anak yatim,” saya berbual dengan seorang apprentice yang berkunjung ke rumah.

“Kenapa pula untung ustaz?” beliau nampak sedikit terkejut dengan kenyataan saya.

“Masakan tidak beruntung, derita hidup tidak beribu dan bapa, terlalu kecil berbanding hukuman Allah ke atas anak durhaka!” saya menjawab.

Beliau diam seketika.

“Maksud ustaz, lebih beruntung hidup tanpa ibu bapa?” tanyanya.

“Anak-anak beruntung ada ibu bapa. Tetapi ibu bapa belum tentu beruntung dikurniakan anak-anak. Hari ini ramai anak benci dengan ibu bapa sendiri,” saya menyambung perbualan.

Jason Mraz Lyrics

Salam...

mood berbunga2 aku dah sampai... hehehe... maybe it's Friday , or maybe sebab aku dah 'berlovey- dovey' dgn MAM... lalalala... tak kisahlah, even for any reason pon, aku tetap rasa nak tersengih...

lagu yg aku suka... MAM dah lama asyik suruh aku dengar lagu ni... dia kata sangat best (masa dia suh aku dengar tu, lagu ni tak naik lagi... and he said that it's gonna be a hit soon... punya laa aku buat dek jek... tapi bila dah dengar dalam radio cam best laa pulak kan... )

anyways... thanks B... hmmm, were we bestfriend before? ke tau2 jek dah jadik gf- bf? bestfriend sangat takde laa... but used to be kawan2 biasa jek... friends with benefits... ahahaha, benefitnya nak mintak dijadikan gf laaa... :">

The Day if My Husband has his own blog

Salam...

I'm not in a good mood today... but I managed to keep my composure well sebab ada kat ofis pon kan.. tapi kalau kat rumah pon, aku boleh maintain jugak, dengan tido... tido dan tido... supaya hati ini tidak terlalu membara...

I dont intend to tell people of what had happened this morning with my dear hubby... but it wasn't something that I could be proud of... ye laa, kata pon pertengkaran suami isteri kan... takkan laa nak pi cita kat orang.. sendiri settle sudah! tapi kalau dah terbuku dalam hati macam mana? takkan nak simpan lama2... takpe laa, sekurang2nya by writing this, harap2 semua dah abis... tak boleh laa gaduh lama2 ngan abe ni... tak senang duduk.. panas bontot... pastu mula laa muka aku cam tertelan baja... cakap ntah hapa2.. tiba2 cam vocab kurang... isk, tu laa penangan gaduh ngan laki sendiri... ok, ok... balik ni akan kucuba memperjernihkan keadaan, sejernih air laut kat phuket yg kitorang baru pergi haritu...

tapi kan... kenapa aku pakai tajuk di atas tu eh? maybe i'm hoping my husband would write jugak kot... let him be more expressive... takde laa dia selama ni jenis takde perasaan, tapi dia just dont like to write... aku pulak jenis suka menulis... walaupon kadang2 ntah hapa2... janji tulis! maybe I just want to read his thoughts penned... (betul ke?)

so the day if my dearest hubby has his own blog... I'll be his best 'follower'... orang lain akan ku delete.. hahahahahahha... (gelak tensi ni... sbb dah nak dekat balik... takut!!!)

and the RESULT is...

Salam...

OK I had to admit, on my last day of the tournament, it was my off-tune day...
my throw was bad, my 'strike' didnt happen, and my spare was wayyy gone, into the darkness of the alley...
ntah laa... tak tau apsal... probably that was my 'first day'... but it didnt bother me that much as before... later I figured out maybe because God punished me of wearing white with no camisole inside... hahahah... I tried comforting myself with every reasons in the world... :)

My first 3 days (mind you, I had 4 match days... all were unrecorded leave... I know some of my collegues like **war & J*pp would kill for these!) were all awesome... chewah, perasan kejap...
ye lah, I wouldn't be the permanent bowler for all the matches... hahah... hmm, maybe I was 'on form' for those 3 days, and my 'joboness' was getting higher, that was why God punished me on the last day... *Astaghfirullah*... semuanya ada kena mengena... ;)

so in the end, my team got 6th overall... out of 8... hahhaha... sorry laaa, tried my best with my straight ball, but those 5 teams, they played 'hooked ball'... mana tak terrer! and we didnt hire a coach (out of budget allocated katanya... hmmpphh lantaklaaa)... and they have coach, cheered them all the way... oohh so jealous...

but I did have fun... with the crowd, with the team- spirit, with my progress, but not with my hotel's bathtub definitely... asyiklah bertakung air tu, after my roommate had her shower... so I ended up had my shower in the next room... tumpang bilik orang lain... hmmppphh!


malam sblm tu, konon2 meeting kasik semangat naik, strategize laa semua...

BNM on three... 1,2,3 BNM!!!

Alamak, esok dah start tournament inter- finance... tiba2 rasa gelabah... tiba2 nasik ini terasa masam. Am I ready? kang kalau hampeh scoreku camana? Akan berbaloikah duitku yg terguna pakai beli bola + kasut + bag itu!

Ahhh, malas nak pikir laa... esok sambung pikir.. malam ni relax jek laa, layan AZA ngan MAM... lagi best! kang aku pikir banyak kang, asyik nak ke tandas jek kang... utk mengeluarkan segala ketakutan + kerisauan... skarang ni pon dah ada terasa sikit... alamak! serius tak tipu! To infinity and beyond!!! (tu laa, pikir lagi)...

Malaysiaku Merdeka

Salam...

I'm writing this while waiting for my name to be called @ Al- Rajhi Bank @ Selangor Dredging. Why is it that I don't feel like this is Malaysia? Mak Arabs & Pak Arabs are everywhere. But of course the modern version of them, not the typical type with long black/ white robes. Hmmm... talking about modernization & globalization...

Bukan tak suka, but just wondering how things have changed... For those single people out there, they have more options in selecting their partner/ soulmate etc. Later, u can hardly have the 'ori' Malaysia... Semuanya sudah dicelup ;)

Ciao. Have a good weekend everybody

Don't Know Why...

Salam...

Harinih mood tak berapa best...

sebabnya pagi2 dah marah2...

iskkk... tak bagus utk kesihatan, but can't help it!

jgn pikir... jgn pikir... buat bodo jek... nanti meracun kepala hotak sendirik...

oleh itu... mari kita mengulau sekejap... menengok FEDEX @ KLCC...

hensem siot!!! tak tipu... comment 'hensem- in- person' turut diberi oleh seorang lelaki yg turut mengulau bersama aku sekejap iaitu S*3d... kalau dia dah kata hensem tu, hensem betul laa tu... sbb dia tak gay... ehhehehe...

balik ofis terus lega... dah tak marah2 dah... sikit2 jek... suam2 kuku laa kot... :)

tu si roger yg sayup2 kitorang nampak... ok laa, puas gak laa hati, boleh confirm dia mmg good looking in person :)

peminat2 yg sanggup beratur... (tak sanggup den dooo). Apparently fans came all over from the neighboring countries... mcm yg ni from phillipines...

walaupon aku takleh tgk match mlm ni (dang you, bowling practises)... aku puas hati... mengulau for a good cause... hehhehehe...

Aktiviti Hujung Minggu

Salam...

last weekend was a hectic one...

abis keja friday tu, we rushed to Bt. 9, Cheras for my cousin's wedding, Zuh**r aka 'Ca**ng'...
it suddenly left a feeling that my 'baby cousin' is all grown up... (I used to babysit him)....
it's not a sad one, it's joy... tapi tipu laa kalau tak sedih kan, sebab dah besar dah budak kecik ni... ;) So, to Zuh**r and his partner, Ro****, "Selamat Pengantin Baru, Semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat... Insya Allah..."

budak kecik yg dulu aku jaga, sekarang dah kawin dah... well, i'm happy for you, Pang!

on saturday, went for an appointment @ Hosp Pantai Indah, to see Dr. Suhaimi... got a jab on my 'rear'... sakit wooo... Dr. said I have to come back on this 22nd for another blood test... adoi laaa, darah lagi...
once done, we headed to Cheras again for Zuh**r's wedding reception... mak aihh, ramainya org! no wonder, the reception was for 3 brides and grooms... Apparently it was not only for my cousin, but his wife's sisters too... man, that was a blast! my first experience of seeing that- more than a couple (poor me, probably I have less invitations than you all... ehhehe)
(BTW, they were featured in yesterday's Harian Metro... unfortunately, the writer quoted each wife to the wrong husband... hahaha, so my cousin is married to his SIL, instead...)

reception @ Ro****'s side... amik dgn satu couple, cukup...

then, off we went to Semenyih, my aunty's place... gotta lend a helping hand for the team (tho I wasn't fully in- charge of any specific task, except flower arrangements)... alamak, lupa amik gambar daaa dgn hasil kerja tanganku, boleh tahan cun laa gak (bangga sekejap sbb tak sangka boleh gubah bunga secantik itu)... at 3 am, we went to my other uncle's place in Cheras to send him to Kelana Jaya. He and his wife are leaving for Hajj... May both of you have a safe journey... mendapat keberkatan dan haji yg mabrur, Insya Allah...

the coolest person that day, didnt even shed a tear

safe trip, mak njang! Doakan kami...

once they checked-in, we went back to Semenyih (at this time I havent slept for more that 24 hours) I have not done that for a long... long... long time... reached Semenyih, me and MAM slept and woke up at 12 noon, ate and getting ready for the pengantins to berarak.... then we continue sleeping... woke up, ate... went back to sleep... woke up, headed home... and slept... there! that was pretty much things that happened yesterday... :) dah tak boleh sebenarnya tak tido for more that 24 hrs ni, I can feel that my brain wasn't functioning yesterday, sebab tu tido, tido dan tido...

p/s: I am writing this with my half- closed eyes... ngantuk lagi seh! badan pon sakit2 ni... rasa cam nak MC jek!

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

I attended two days training on EQ (Breakthru Leaderhship: Unlocking Performance with EQ)which ended yesterday...
It was organized by Six Seconds (http://www.6seconds.org/), a non- profit org that develops and applies this vital competencies to foster healthy and productive relationships.

An interesting fact that they taught me:

It takes 6 seconds to manage anger
It takes 6 seconds to create compassion
It takes 6 seconds to make a difference.

In summary, with EQ on the job (can be applied to our daily life, too), people work together even better; they are more productive, more focused, more innovative, more prudent...

and what I found written on their website: Emotions make or break relationships, they lead us to optimal or terrible decisions, they drive our best and worst behaviors... The difference is emotional intelligence...

p/s: I didn't plan on babbling what can I learn from it, how was the food served, the facilitator etc..
but overall, it was a good learning experience that I overlooked before)...

Departed... Newborn

Salam...

I lost my cousin today, a close one...
He passed away this morning in BP, Johore...
It's devastating considering he was one of my cousins who was a 'fav' to my parents...
I remember him as someone who is 'stern-looking', but actually was a fun, resposible and a loving father to his 7 kids, and good leader/ brother to his brothers & sisters...
Alfatihah to my Abg Din... Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atasnya... Amin...

On other note, a close friends of mine delivered their 4th baby boy early this morning, too...
Alhamdulillah... now they have a platoon of boys in their squad... so Ieta, that means you are not giving up until a daughter is finally yours, arent you?
hmmm... keep on trying and better luck next time... tee hee hee...
anyways, congratulations to you and Nuar...
we'll visit you once we are back in KL, coz I need to go back to SP for my cousin's funeral, Insya Allah...

Kena Beli Jugak...

Salam...

Finally, beli jugak aku bola bowling tu... Ishhh... lepas asyik terbakar jek telinga aku dengan 'usikan2 manja' bowling team aku (hati punya terbakar toksah cakap laa kan)... I'm RM309 broke! Dang! Baik aku beli baju ke, kasut ke... hish!
Ni semua nak jaga imej punya pasal laa ni... Bukan aku laa, tp dorang... main pakai house ball + house shoes cukup laa kan.. janji aku maintain jatuhan pin aku... tp tak, sbb main utk tpt keja aku yg 'superior' status quonya, so kena laa jaga imej... eleehhh, imej pebenda nak jaga, kalau aku beli bola sendiri nanti, baling hancuss... baik toksah!

tgk laaa, besok aku ada training... so that'll be my first try/ get lucky with that ball... haritu try masa beli cam tak best jek baling... cuak gak! tak ke sia2 aku dah buang duit, in the end I still wanna use house ball... sbb rasa ada connection lagi ngan bola itu? boleh ke??? adakah akan terbakar telinga/ hati aku lagi??? lantak laaa...

sbb yang pentingnya... bola + kasut + bag tu aku boleh claim dari points flexi aku... heheheh...

p/s: To my wonderful AZA: eh, you are 19-mo today laa, sayang... Happy Birthday... love you, son!

Bed of Roses

Salam...

Yesterday right after MAM picked me up @ Ampang Park (naik LRT tuh from my office) I straight away executed my plan...

Me: B, Miva yg jual furniture tu ada Grand Sale... lets go, nak?
MAM: Miva mana pulak ni?
Me: Alaa, Miva yg ada kat tepi jalan yada..yada.. yada... I just wanna see... boleh laaa...
MAM: Aikkk, kata nak balik awal, nak main dgn AZA... ni nak menyinggah pulak kat situ?
Me: Alaaa, for a while only... sekejap sangat... kita tgk laa... and I dont think we can afford to buy one at this very moment pon... cuci2 mata jek...

And yes, I rehearsed those lines since at the office lagi... Alhamdulillah, all went well... coz MAM has agreed to it... hehhehe... tak sangka, buah cempedak dah jadik nangka...
confirm laa dah beli kan... 'can't afford to buy one, konon...' that is just as same as guys doing their pickup line to girls (this is the opposite)... we definitely can afford to buy one if they permit us to make partial payment... hahahaha... plus, we dont plan to have the 'king-bed' that soon... we need to do some re-arrangement on what we have currently... so the soonest I think I can have that transported to my place is end of this year... (takde laa lama sangat kan?)

oohh my new bed... I'm dreaming of you already... oohh BTW, B... I hope you are not mad over this 'conspiracy'... I love you as always... xoxo...

Right Now...

Salam...

aiyoh! total boredom hits me now...
help... i almost wanna vomit browsing the Net now... too much radiation, I guess!
I wanna go home, I wanna see my MAM, my AZA... I just wanna lazy-ing around at home, with the air- cond is switched on on a full blast...
my watch shows it's only 5.14pm... aiyoh! 15 more mins to go before I can get my butt outta here...
but need to go to MAM's office, he doesnt wanna come over because of the traffic congestion...
why traffic? why??? why do you have to be congested on Fri? You really make my life miserable...

B, are we planning something tonite? I think we should, coz I dont think I'm having a bad day, it's just that I need to blow off steam out of nothing.. LOL... that sounds whacky... but I just need it... alaa, lagipon kita ni bukannya pegi ronggeng mana2 pon... tak main lah! takat lepak2 minum tgk perangai org pon dah ok, koman2 pon pegi layan karok lagi...

ok...
it's now T(minus) 6... toodles everybody... have a good weekend...

Shoot Me!

Salam...

Last Sat, I had paintball game organized by my office @ Xtion Paintball Park, Bukit Jalil... was excited, was worried, was tired and was sleepy... all in a package... but being a sport myself, I wouldn't wanna miss the fun... so once I woke up, get ready with all the suitable baju (I definitely chose the thickest layer and the longest sleeve I have.. not to get burnt) and then off to the battlefield...

our battlefield is just barrel and dinding tepi hi-way tu jek... :)

MAM sent me, and watched me play... being the player few times himself, he gave me some pointers (yg I tak guna pon...) LOL... I had fun overall despite being hit dekat kaki satu, and my left shoulder (sakit ok esp yg kat bahu, habis ada satu lagi BCG)... blue- black! to whomever shot me, jom repeat laaa... I was kinda satisfied coz I tried to capture our own flag (yeah, I rock! teeheehee).

ambik gambar dulu... time baju tak cedera lagi...

I shot the opponent's flag retriever, too... To my boss, MKK... sorry laa, I had to shoot you few times, coz you seemed not to drop the flag on my first shot... so I gotta make you taste the sweetness of my non- stopping-pellet-vomiting... hehehhe... hope it doesnt leave you any scar or permanent hatred towards me... :)

but on the last game... I almost had it... my head was spinning, and I almost blacked- out (kurang oksigen kot sbb pakai masker dia yg tebal tu)... the thing is, I was dehydrated... we were playing in the middle of afternoon.. panas tak hingat punya.. tu yang macam terhonyong- hanyang lps abis game tu.. the guys yg jadik marshall tu pon cam sengih2 kerang jek tgk I... asking whether I was ok or not... chessss! dang... they must be thinking how unfit I am... ;p Panas laa, wey!

Happy Monthlyversary

Salam...

B, I know we lost count of how many months that we've been together since we got married...
tapi takpelah... saya nak kira gak.. That's 5 years already, which is 60 months... plus another 10months.. so all are 70 months...

so to my wonderful hubby, MAM... Happy 70th monthlyversary... I love you... sama jugak!!!!

High School Musical 3- Senior Year

Salam...

yeay! I finally watched HSM3 yesterday, along with my dearest hubby, MAM... (mind you, I would have done anything in the world just to drag him along... fortunately, not much to be done because he was in the mood to fulfill my wish as well... hehhehe... thanks love!)

It was fun, the songs were fantastics... and the moves, loved it! loved it! loved it! I know most of people would go crazy on the main casts, ryan bolton and gabriella montez... But me, I just like the adorable and 'minah sempoi'- Kelsi Nielsen... CUTENESS!!! Her looks, hair, features and fashion- sense, semua serba kena... comelnyaaaa...

I'd recommend you to watch it... esp sapa2 yang suka tgk org2 joget sambil menyanyi ni (but not Hindi movies, hehehhe... I think they overdo it, LOL)... You might have different views...

Fondant Cupcake Deco Class

Salam...

I went for Cupcakes Deco last Sunday at Kak Min's Place. Thanks Kak Min for the lesson... Had good knowledge and the class was very fun- filled... The class was supposed to be only 3 hours, from 10.30am until 1.30pm... tapi kalau dah student cam aku ni 'peghak', abis pkl 2.45pm... buat semua lembab & have to be done meticulously :) hehehe, biasa laaa, taknak kalah...








pic taken showing my 'masterpiece'... masterpiece keeee???? with half-slanting bear, broken butterfly, just to name a few... but for a beginner, not bad, huh?

We prepared 8 types of deco... Bear, baby's booties, seashells, wedding/ engagement, poured fondant, ribbon, butterfly and puzzles...

(pic courtesy from bakingproject.com)

Once done, I rushed back home and get ready to hit 3 'open- houses'... Thanks to Sam, Bangau and Pak Tam for the food. I barely can walk after that tank-filling, with all the nasi beriyani, mee jawa, fried rice and countless glassess of drinks... man, put AZA down to sleep was also an easy task that nite, maybe he was so kenyang, too... :) MAM was out for the boys' game with all of his friends (Liverpool vs. Chelsea) after sending us back home...

Happy moments, praise Allah (SWT)

Difficult moments, seek Allah (SWT)

Quiet moments, worship Allah (SWT)

Painful moments, trust Allah (SWT)

Every moment, thank Allah (SWT)

It all was a success to me...

As was posted on my previous posting, I organized a small gathering/ open house for my friends... (family not included as my haven is seriously cannot accomodate all of them :)

Prior to this event, my bank is organizing our big open house, too... I had to run to get all the things for that nite's event from Carrefour, and then ran back to the office to pick up few collegues that wanted to ride with me to attend that open house, held at our HQ. Man! That was already tiring... and it doubled up when right after makan2 there (mind you, I had to leave early for the cooking + tidying up the house + flower arrangements) I had to run to pick up my lovey- dovey MAM at his office, then to M-I-L's place to borrow Erna to help me soon... Masya Allah, penatnya Tuhan saja yang tahu... (AZA was left with my mom, coz with him around, toksah laa kan, memang tak jadik kerja...)

Once we reached home, the hard- work started... with all the peeling, blending, baking, boiling etc... "kerja gila" dalam hati aku cakap... I've never had any experience cooking too many dishes at one time for only 2 hours ++... luckily I have Erna & MAM to help... you should see MAM did all the bread pudding prep by himself.. with little instructions from me... teehehe... you rock!

1st guests arrived were Liza and her cousin, Da. Gila awal!!! Lots of things were not done, and she had to jump into the ring, too... hahahha, tu laa, sapa suruh datang awal sangat...

and the guests kept on flowing after Isyak... The guests were:

1. Soed
2. Ratna & family
3. Sam
4. Azmah & hubby
5. Romi & Man Tat
6. Noriz & family
7. Ieta, Nuar & family
8. Chah & her mom
9. Ajim & Hasni
10. Waq & Jenal
11. My dad... (my mom did not come, coz she had to bake kuih for Ieta's open hse the next day & my dad said she merajuk coz I didnt invite her... mana ada, saja nak kenakan orang... Insya Allah I'll do another one, just for the family...)

To all our friends, thanks for coming, hope you enjoyed my 'hand-water' (nobody called-in sick the next day pon... so takde apa2 laa kot)... teehehe...

I'm glad that I managed to cook what I planned with little time and experience, tho tired to the last bone & beaten... Special thanks to MAM (love you!) and Erna for the helping hand...

p/s: pix to come soon...

I'll be having a makan2 session tonite, inviting few closest friends of mine and hubby's. Foods served will be:

bread pudding

it'll be just a simple one... but I just like to have people at my place, lepak2...

Surah Al- Kautsar

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

*found this very interesting information... renung2kan & selamat beramal :)

Bismillahirramanirrahim...

"Innaa ak'thoina'kalkautsar, fashallilirabbikawanhar, innashania'ka huwal abtar".

Surah Al-KautsarSurah ini paling pendek, hanya mengandungi 3 ayat & diturunkan di Makkah dan bermaksud sungai di syurga. Kolam sungai ini diperbuat daripada batu permata nan indah dan cantik. Rasanya lebih manis daripada madu, warnanya pula lebih putih daripada susu dan lebih wangi daripada kasturi.

Surah ini disifatkan sebagai surah penghibur hati Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. kerana diturunkan ketika baginda bersedih atas kematian 2 org yang dikasihi iaitu anak lelakinya Ibrahim dan bapa saudaranya Abu Talib. Pelbagai khasiat terkandung di dalam surah ini dan boleh kita amalkan:-

1) Baca surah ini ketika hujan dan berdoa, mudah-mudahan Allah s.w.t. makbulkan doa kita.

2) Jika kita kehausan dan tiada air, bacalah surah ini dan gosok di leher, Insya'allah hilang dahaga.

3) Jika sering sakit mata, seperti berair, gatal, bengkak, sapukan air mawar yang sudah dibacakan surah ini sebanyak 10 x pada mata.

4) Jika rumah dipercayai terkena sihir, baca surah ini 10 x, mudah-mudahan Allah s.w.t. bagi ilham pada kita dimana letaknya sihir itu.

5) Jika membacanya 1,000 x rezeki kita akan bertambah.

6) Jika rajin membacanya, hati kita akan menjadi lembut khyusuk ketika menunaikan solat.

7) Jika org teraniaya dan terpenjara membacanya sebyk 71 x Allah s.w.t. akan memberi bantuan kepadanya krn dia tidak bersalah tetapi dizalimi.

wassalam...

My lil' Hero

This pic was taken right after I ended my confinement period (urrgghh, cant think of that time anymore, it chokes me!) Somehow I always like this pic because of the purity of the smile...

a kid this big would not understands what 'strike a pose' means...

Thanks to Aunty Chah aka Mak Chah for the quick snap... This is a treasure for us...

Now he's into performing azan (in his own way), and I always ask him to azan prior to doing something he asks me to do/ if he wants anything ... It's funny and so cute... love you, baby!

Sampai Pagi!

Last Monday, we had some out-of-tune session @ The Curve... (what can I say, our voices are only lullabies to our own ears, and not to others)... sbb sedar akan kemampuan diri sendiri laa, buat we only let the steam off @ karaoke centers, bukan dekat AF... teehehe...

At first there were 8 of us (me, MAM, UZA, SS, RoMH, NSoS, Sam and JD)... we had dinner @ Delicious in Bangsar (prior to that, we had some teh tarik session at Devi's Corner opposite to it)... The ladies had different kind of foods, but the guys ordered the same thing, "Lambshank Masala"... urrghhh no lamb for me, please... and the opposite goes to RoMH for not having duck (BTW, I ordered duck confit spaghetti).. Tapi dia kes lain, sbb dia kata makan sedara sendiri... hahahaha....

Then, the singing sensations started at 10.30... UZA and Sam didnt join, as UZA needed to go back before her hubby comes back from futsal session... (ohh sneaked- out kau ye?) No lah, she's the only one of my friends who's not into karaoke... I think! Apa laaa, padahal during our college time dulu2, she was the one who almost made our eardrums explode! Esp to her roommates (which were me & SS)... sekarang dia pulak yang tak layan... Sam pulak pasal had to go back and play with her two lovely daughters yg baru bangun tido... JD's wife (Widya) joined us later for karaoke (her voice is very soothing... bestnya kalau ada suara camtu :)

That session lasted until the last hour which was 3 am! Gila...! Takde nya nak karaoke for 2 hours only (that was our plan at first)... sekali kalau RoMH dah got hold of that mic, jangan haraplaa sekejap jek kan... But we had fun that nite... It's been a while we gathered together and show our hidden craziness... Next time we plan another one again, ok?

Pix here...

It's that TIME again!

Done it! Phewww... how glad am I to finally submit that Year- End Assessment... and now it's just to sit comfortably (not!), wait and see... for my name to be called by my 'kakak', and then that is the time with all the slashings "subtracting" here and there of those self- acclaimed points (why can't there just be additions? I can't accept rejection that well, u know!) LOL...

I just hope this year will be a good a year for myself (tho it's already the end of it)... but as some people might say, you can only measure your success rate once you know your achievements... hmm, some part true... considering what you've written in that PRIME form is as accurate as you could be, and agreed by the bosses... But as what being said by the others, our existence does not provide value- add to them... yikes! suka hati jek nak cakap macam tu... like you are doing our jobs... man, some people are so 'ear- burned', and toxic...

Tapi takpe lah... take it easy... malas nak pikir banyak2... redha jek laa dgn apa yg dapat... Insya Allah...

p/s: sorry had to hide some particulars, for safety reason... some ppl might use against me in the future... :)

The New Beginning...

Salam...

My first entry in Blogger. I wish to discontinue my postings in Xanga (www.xanga.com/rozrazalli) because they will charge me if I really want to use some of the cooler functions they have... Tho I like what they are offering... It's not that I'm being stingy or 'taik hidung masin' about it, but why would you pay when you know somewhere else are offering better options? So here I am, hoping that I'll be a little more regular to this site...

But yes, I'm still sad to not being a Xangan anymore...
