What Happened in Phuket...

Salam...

This year's staff day (of current dept) was the last one for me since I'll move to a new dept next week (wef 15 March 2010)... this year's was in Phuket, Thailand...
I visited Phuket 2 years ago with MAM and AZA, but this year it was sure a crazy one... a few incidents happened...

Among others, a 'shemale' showed me and my friend, Af her 'I-sudah-potong' part... nope, not to us, but she showed her friend and we were there accidently, wrong place at the wrong time... talk about the shock of our lives! she was kinda excited, just lifted up her sundress, with no seluar kecik inside... Imagine that!!! We were stunned, and looked at each other and laughed hysterically... gila! Ini macam pon ada!

dunia... dunia...!

Loose End...

Salam...

Semalam lagi teruk... harini dah ok sikit...
I should have gone to the clinic and get the MC...
tp malas sebenarnya, Friday ni nak cuti lagi...

hmmmm...

please be ok, both of you...

On Mak's Birthday & Elation

Salam...

This has past its deadline, I know... But things at the office has been stricting the freedom to blog, tell stories etc... but I'll just blog!

On Feb 14th, we celebrated mak's birthday at the restaurant (a surprise one)... I was in- charged of the deco and the invitations... As the pix tells, I managed to coerced lelaki2 itu to do the decorations... I loved the feelings... having total control of the place and watched mereka itu membuat kerja perempuan... hahahah...

The invitees were all my relatives and some of mak's friends... overall it was successful... mak was home- alone the whole day, (she told my nenek she was crying teringatkan my late dad and the children's whereabouts--- we were bz at the restaurant decorating) and the next thing, my brother Z*** was in- charged to divert her attention of coming to the restaurant to begin work...

nampak kan I berkuasa, when I was only taking pix...

guests were anxious waiting for mak

Tadaaaa... Surprise!!!!!!

Alhamdulillah... happy birthday, mak! I love you to bits! Thanks for all the things that you've sacrificed to make me of what I am today... We have our disagreements sometimes (yup, sampai skarang... bila laa nak berubah ni roz!) but that never changed anything, my love towards you...

Semoga Allah memberi keberkatan yg berlipat ganda pada mak, Insya Allah...

On another note, I am so *boing*boing* on the clouds today... Finally, I have heard the good news myself, with supporting evidence from the rightful party (this one refers to my prev entry)... yeay! Alhamdulillah... I am over- excited, looking forward to it... isk, sedih pon ada gak...

Here's the proof...

Thanks Ya Allah... may this new path is going to be one smooth sailing adventure and happier... amin...

Kes Blur

Salam...

now someone's congratulating me... hmmm, apa kes?
the other someone dah agree... hmmm, lagi tak paham...

later!

Yes or No? You Tell Me...

Salam...

Dah nak hampir sebulan dah aku attend *benda*tu... by right I have gotten the result by now... Tapi kenapakah takde sampai sekarang? Yang tak bestnya, semua org (yg ada cable dalam laa) seems to know the result ahead from me, yang aku sendiri pon tak tau dari pihak yg berkenaan... So, camana nak react? suka? tak suka?

*still kena disclose lagi kejadian yg benar2 berlaku, utk mengelakkan salah faham... sorry ye...

Kegiatan Weekend Tuari

Salam...

dah lama saya tak update benda2 yg saya buat... saya mengaku saya banyak 'tersangkut' dgn kerja- kerja di ofis yg taknak saya buat...
tapi apakan daya, dari situ punca rezeki saya, jadik saya kena buat muka gembira :)
Astaghfirullah... (saya nak ikhlas bekerja)...

jadi sbg langkah permulaan, saya start dgn hari sabtu tu saya buat apa...
pagi2 bangun, siap2kan anak dan bapak si anak, kami ke TTDI, AZA join ALIMKids Playgroup... ni second class dia, Alhamdulillah... dia dah become more participative dari first class tu, yg asik dok clinging kat mak dia... (time tu aku lagi banyak joget dan nyanyi daripada dia... toksah la kan kasik 'can' kat aku... I sure grab punya... hahhaha)...

yg ni dia dah nak joget sikit2.. nyanyi pon dah kuat2.. dan boleh nak menjawab soalan2 teacher dia.. Alhamdulillah, mommy's proud of you, AZA sayangku!

pastu kami ke kenduri kawin kawan MAM... time tu mmg dah lapar laa kan... so walaupon saya mmg kurang berminat dgn makanan kenduri kawin, bila dah nampak makanan, saya lupa apa yg saya suka, dan apa yg saya tak suka... ye, prinsip hidup saya boleh lari bila dalam keadaan terdesak! ekekeke... *hope not!*

pastu ptg2 sikit (setelah balik rumah dan lepak2), kami ke tasik titiwangsa... berpiknik bersama rakan2.. saya ada amik gambar, tapi sbb tak bwk memory card hari ni ke ofis, maka proses mengupload gambar harus dilupakan! lenkali jek eh?
lepak di tepi tasik dgn angin sepoi2 bahasa, pastu ada ayam golek + buah2 + air berperisa, mmg sedap sekali.. tp sayang, sekejap sangat melepet di situ.. kami sampai dah pkl 6.30pm, nak carik parking keta lagi... tau2 dah nak maghrib betul2 bila dah abis makan ayam golek tu.. takpe laa, lenkali kita buat lagi eh?

pastu semlm, saya dan suami menghadiri kursus umrah... Insya Allah, kami akan ke sana bulan 3 ni, dan saya sangat2 teruja! penceramah semlm ialah Dato Ust Hj. Daud Che Ngah... sangat bersemangat saya nak pegi lps dengar ayat2 dorongan daripada dia.. (sama kuat semangat saya nak kawin dgn MAM masa pegi kursus kawin dulu, tu pon dia yg jadik salah sorang penceramah.. :)

hari ni saya datang ofis macam biasa... adoyai, SEMANGAT... kentallah wahai dikau!

Innalillah...

Salam...

My grandma (mom's side) lost her younger sister on Tuesday nite...
I rushed back with my mom and brothers back to mom's hometown in Malacca the next morning...
My husband couldn't join as he was having a presentation on the same morning...

I think... I am more saddened by the fact that my grandma lost her sister... they were close, they hung- out together (tak kemana pon, depan2 rumah masing2 jek, they live like 100m apart jek pon)... and my grandma is the bestest sister that anyone could have!

Imagine this, sometimes my mom and her siblings have some issues with their aunty (arwah)... so they told my grandma this and that... and my grandma would protect her sister and told her daughters/ sons to just forget about those things... so ended up my mom, aunties and uncles were like "apakah? sapa yg salah ni?" and my mom being among the eldest would talk to my grandma personally and said "cannot laa protect her like that, obviously she's wrong.. bla.. bla.. bla" and my grandma would just say, "Ye laaa, korang ada sesama korang, Aye (she use this to represent herself) ada sapa? Adik Aye ni sorang jek laaa... Sapa lagi nak jaga, kalau bukan Aye yg jaga?" My mom would just kept quiet everytime my grandma use this statement... :)

When I heard about her sister's passing, my mind was locked on my grandma... She must be devastated... and I love my grandma dearly... even when I saw her yesterday, I was 'this close' to cry...

Nenek, jangan sedih2 ok? Insya Allah nenek Lang ditempatkan bersama2 org2 beriman..., kita doakan yg terbaik utk dia... I love you, nenek!

Roz Remembers...

Salam...

I still remember very vividly on how I started my new chapter of life 7 years ago (1 Jan 2003)... I was anxious, elated and looking forward the moment I'd be called Mrs. Azlan...

Being married of course change your life 270 degrees (another 90 will still be the same for some ppl like me :) I learn new skills esp the one in the kitchen dept (my mom is a good cook, ok... can you blame me?), share bed with a guy (psst, being the only daughter I am) and few thousand things that I have to give and take with this particular person... Yeah, there were moments we couldn't stand each other because of some silly disagreements, but it was merely looking things from different perspectives...

I remembered my wedding preparations... Gosh! most people dread doing those things, from wedding dress, to catering, then the decos, the gifts (hantaran).. yada, yada, yada...

I was lucky (was I?) as I was thousands kilometers away from home, and all were done thru numerous phone calls, emails to approve invitation card's designs, and selecting gifts from Ebay... I think I've spent a lot of my then-scholarship money on phone cards and payphone... Urrghh, such a waste.

My then husband-to-be , my BFFs, my parents, siblings helped a lot! When I said a lot, yup.. without them, I would just come back home and got married in one of the masjids, and that's it!

Instead, I came back, did some fittings on my wedding dress (I encountered some chaotic moments, too) and voila! I was ready to get married with all the preps were smoothly planned by them... nice isn't it? So to all who have helped me, my gratitude is boundless. You've made my day!

The first 2 years of our marriage was somewhere across the ocean, away from the family, away from the friends that I could easily turn to if I have issues with my husband. Come to think of it, it was actually the best thing happened to us... We don't let other people meddle in our lives, we learn accepting each others' flaws, idiosyncracies and there were times we faced financial lackings, we never gave in, didn't call both parents to seek help. We just let things went easy... Alhamdulillah, that was precious...

We live to learn, and I learn how to be the best chef of the house (like we have more than 2 people staying with us!) But yeah, I wasn't ashamed to parade my food when there were gatherings, islamic classes or organizing lunch/ dinner at our place... I salute myself for that, hehehe...

So while I look back at those 7 years of happy moments and obstacles, I'd like to look forward for another 7 years and beyond with my wonderful, loved one... Azlan Mohammad, Insya Allah.

B, Happy 7th anniversary... I love you to zillions!

7 years and counting... aminnn!

Happy Birthday, B

Salam...

It was my dearest husband's birthday last Sunday...
He's 33 now, Alhamdulillah... Allah has granted good health, wealth and personality to this admirable man of mine... Syukur! Syukur!

B, I love you for what you are, thanks for having me in your life, adjusting yours just to fit mine... I may be stubborn, selfish and bad- mannered (ada ke?) but that was all purposely done to catch your attention... I liked it when you paid attention to me and only me, and I will always do...

I love you to the fullest... May our lives be filled with all the good things and showered with barakah... amin...

pssst: hadiah belum beli lagi laa.. tak tau nak beli apa :)

Alhamdulillah

Salam...

oh ya... lagi satu 'alat mainan' saya dah dapat... Alhamdulillah...
Insya Allah boleh beli lagi... :)

Hammam & Gommage Spa

Salam...

Saya baru balik dari pegi bersantai... di spa... hmm, seronok!
It's a Morroccon type of spa, yg mana saya dan kawan segossip sepejabat saya dah mcm nenong2 di ofis, sebenarnya on cloud 9 sbb gaji masuk harini *ngeeee*...

jadi, terus laa saya apply cuti separuh hari, dan boss approve! mak aihh, gila best! apa lagi, bergegas kami ke Bangsar Village, sbb kat situ laa pot spanya! Never been there, but it was highly recommended by a friend yg dah pernah pegi ke sana (tapi saya yg recommend dia pegi sana... aikkk? cita zig- zag betul)... tapi mmg camtu laa cerita dia pon...

so once there, kami disuruh tukar baju, pakai all those disposable thingies, and robe...
then, di suruh masuk satu bilik oleh 2 mak arabs ni... one to handle me, another one to handle my friend.. then, she asked me to take off my robe... yikes! malunya!!! the room is actually a bilik mandi... but hi grade punya bilik mandi laaa, berlantaikan papan yg cun, dan ada tiling benches...
and dia suruh duduk atas bench belah sini, my friend bench belah sana... and they bathed us! double yikesssss!!! lagi malu besar... sbb they really bathed you, mcm mak mandikan anak!!! OMG, seriously malu hokey!!! u just sat there, and tunggu jek apa instructions dia... angkat tangan, nak basuh rambut, tutup mata... things like that.. haishhh...

then, bermula laaa era scrub... mak aih.. dia pakai sarung tangan yg mcm kertas pasir, perit tak ingat! but the result was good, in the sense you punya kulit after that mcm baby's bottom, bak kata org putih... but of course laa, the price you pay was seeing all the dead's skin yg bertaburan di atas tpt scrub itu... DAKI bak kata org melayu... sampailaa kawan I tu tak percaya punya laa banyak hasilnya, sbb secara logiknya dia kata hari2 dia scrub masa mandi pakai loofah, takkan masih banyak lagi daki? hahahhaa... funny, man!

then, acara massage plak.. bukan mak arab ni buat, some Pinoys maybe, sbb I tried to speak Malay with them, but no response.. I tried English, and their English sounded pelik sikit.. maybe laa kot.. aku pon takleh nak track bangsa apa dorang ni... but the massage was quite dissapointing, tak berapa kuat... bila mintak dikuatkan pon, waktu dekat2 nak abis...
tak kuat2 dorang pon, kami punya dengkuran masa dimassage tu, agak kuat laa jugak.. kah kah kah...

so for this experience, I would rate the place as 3/5... sbb massage tu pada aku yg penting... dimandikan tu mcm takde pasni pon takpe, tak boleh aku imagine aku kena dimandikan lagi oleh strangers... dia punya deco mmg cun laa kan, ye laa, Moroccan- themed... pastu the package is a bit pricey, since org dia pon imported nun jauh dari padang pasir, lagi satu disebabkan dia duk kat tpt posh tu kan... alaa Bangsar... so harga dia nun atas sikit dari yg biasa....

Pegi laa kalau korang nak rasa something new... selamat dimandikan! (yikes...! lain macam plak bunyinya)...

tempat berehat, in between sessions sambil minum teh & baklava sedap

kawan saya sedang menayang baklavanya... :)

Hafazan is Easy (HIE)

Salam...

Right after work yesterday, my hubby and I rushed to Coaching Zone, in Seri Kembangan (right after work tu takde laa, lps maghrib gak aku bertolak, redah hujan, halilintar, dan plg penting kat KL ialah redah banjir jem!)

We attended a session called Hafazan Is Easy, a method used by an ustaz in a tahfiz school in Besut, T'ganu (Ustaz ni nama dia Ust. Wan Zikri, muka mcm Mawi, serious tak tipu, but with kopiah, and a funny guy...) This session was organized by Coach Sha, a homeschool teacher cum mother to her 4 kids, who is also running this Coaching Zone company... she basically organize English classes for kids, parents and anybody who loves to learn English in fun ways...

You can view Coach Sha's website @ http://mycoachingzone.net/ or her blog @http://coachsha.wordpress.com/ .

Basically, this session introduce you ways of memorizing Quran, how one's can use their fullest brain capacity and capability to memorize the holy Quran... Come to think of it, everyone can and it is never too late... sebab Ustaz Zikry cakap, if you memorize an ayat a day, you'll memorize the whole book in 18 years! How amazing is that? So katalaa skarang aku 32, campur lagi 18 tahun? 50? ehh ok sangat laa tu kan kalau jadik hafizah masa umur cenggitu... Insya Allah...

hmmm... boleh ke? sometimes my brain pon cam ada mode idle2 dia gitu... :) Anyhow, when there's a will, there's a way, aight?

Doakan Ibu Mertuaku

Salam...

My MIL has been hospitalized for more than a week now... Demam, baik.. demam balik, baik balik (camtu jek laa hari2)... The dr. couldnt really tell what's wrong with her, except that she has viral infection due to diabetes... now she's only been prescribed with paracetamol and some antibiotics for the infection... (takkan ni jek, duduk lama2... pastu bayar mahal2...)

other than that, she's healthy (bila tak demam laa kan)... but knowing her, she's the type yg tak boleh duduk diam... and you know lah kan, kalau dah duduk kat hospital lama2, dari tak berapa sakit pon boleh jadik sakit... because of the environment! tu pon nasib baik that hospital tu ada kedai2 keliling dia, kadang2 tu kitorang seludup gak dia pegi makan2, or more to ambik2 angin... let her breathe udara luar... yg lagi tak menyesakkan dari udara dalam hospital...

I can see my MIL's spirit pon dah gradually turun... muka dah makin monyok tiap2 hari... kesian jugak kat dia.. hai laa dr... cepat2 laa kasik mak aku ni keluar... kesian laaa...

Nak Balik Raya...

Salam...

laa ni tgh relax2 kat rumah in- laws aku, sbb aku tgh tunggu time jek nak cabut balik kg...
kami sekeluarga (3 org jek pon) nak balik melaka, nak raya ngan nenek aku...
masalahnya, si suami balik2 ofis jek dah cakap dalam radio asik membebel pasal jammed di sana sini... esp semua exit2 yg keluar KL... haishhh... abis bila nak balik...?

aku pon bukan apa, lagi cepat sampai rumah nenek aku, lagi best kan? sure dekat dapur rumah nenek aku tu tgh hiruk- pikuk nenek, mak, makcik, pakcik aku, cousins tgh memasak... agaknya laa.. tu pon kalau semua balik..

lagi satu... aku nak cop port yg balik punya utk aku landing mlm ni... kalau aku lambat, mmg placing tak baik punya laa kan... sure jauh dari kipas... pastu bantal2 semua dah kena songlap ngan cousin2... aku ni plg penting kena ada 2 bantal... satu kat kepala, satu kat kaki kena kepit...
kalau tak, susah mau lelap...

ni dah kata nak tunggu agak2 traffic nak reda... abis pkl berapa mau sampe?

pada kawan2... selamat hari raya Aidil Adha... selamat makan daging korban banyak2... semoga ibadah korban diterima dan diredhai.. Insya Allah...

Kenapa eh?

Salam...

Lately anak aku suka menangis2 bila aku nak pegi kerja...
jenis yg meraung2 punya... aku pon tak paham...
all this while, kalau aku cakap nak pegi keja jek, dia cam... "ok, mommy... mommy want to go to work? OK boleh..."

tup... tup... dia sudah tukar "Jangan laa mommy, tak boleh pegi work..." pastu makin lama makin kuat desible dia.. haishhh... meruntun2 laa perasaan aku, esp bila aku dah masuk kereta, dan dia makin kuat teriak...

kenapa eh? takkan dah 2.5 tahun pon ada lagi that separation anxiety tu? hmmm, takde laa rimas, tapi kadang2 tu kesian... rasa nak call boss aku straight cakap "I EL laa harini, boss... anak I tak kasik pegi keja?" Boleh????

Moving forward...

Salam...

A short & simple question that I always ask myself...

How much money do I need to retire?

Most financial consultants that approached me (unit trust or insurance agent) said, "you will never know... but a million and above should be sufficient to sustain your retirement period"...

Do you agree with this?

Skarang dah mmg banyak pakai duit, dah tua lagi banyak pakai duit????

haisshhh takutttttt....!

Sedih lagi...

Salam...

Innalillah...
Allah knows best!

My nenek sedara passed away this morning, at 70... she was diagnosed with cancer (I think it was kidney, not so sure) a few days back...

Semoga Wan Enon ditempatkan di kalangan orang yg beriman, Insya Allah...

Patutlaaa syahdu :(
