let go, start new!

It's only a few days away to 2010.A new year.A new chapter.Actually,same sets of dates but with a different year.So much can happen within a year but sometimes, we can only remember a few.And those few, are the most significant, most memorable to us.

2009 has been quite a year to me.

It's the year I gave birth to my first child.11 Mac 2009.An experience I would never forget.Sakitnye pun, saya takkan lupe..It's the year I become a mother, embarking to a new chapter of my life.Little I know about what would happen in the future but one thing I know now for sure, I will learn and try to be a good mother to my children.Insyallah.

It's the year I add another role to my daily life.I'm a daughter, a wife, a friend,someone's best friend, a sister, a worker and this year, I am officially adding in a new role, a mother. Imagine that. Trust me, this 'mother' role, will overrule your other roles most of the time.And I mean it!

So to my dear friends (you know who you are),walaupun saya tak selalu dapat hang-out sekali,you know you can always count on me for favours and advice.And thank you for your love and support.Terima kasih sebab memahami..

To my dear hubby, your continuos, endless love and support means so much to me.Terima kasih sebab sentiasa disisi ayang, through my ups and downs..May 2010 and future years be a better one for us.Semoga kite tabah and sabar menghadapi dugaan yang mendatang.May allah blessed us with love,more kids and prosperity.*wink*. I love you forever, every single day of forever hun!

So peeps, may 2010 be a better one for us all.Look forward and let go of the past.What is done can never be undone. So we made a mistake,but there's no need to dwell on it.Let go and prepare yourself for what's coming.

2010, bring it on!

Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Disneyland

Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Disneyland trip was great.The crazy companies makes it even better.I think no matter where you go, if the people who go with you are great and fun, the trip would be excellent even if the place sucks!We had 25 person all together in our group consisting of family and relatives.

Hong Kong is a very well developed country to begin with but a conjested one, I must say.They have tall, sky-rising buildings everywhere.Jalan pun lalu celah-celah bangunan yang tinggi melangit.But it is a very clean place.Susah nak nampak sampah merata and I once witnessed a dog owner collects his dog's poop at the road side and throw it in the bin.Intresting!memang xde poo-poo anjing dimana2 macam kat Malaysia ni.Pet owner sgt2 bertanggungjawab!If kat sini, jalan sane pijak poo-poo anjing, jalan sini pijak poo-poo kucing.Silap-silap,poo-poo orang pun ade..yuukkss!

Not so much of shopping as they sell winter things and clothing. Ok, enough of stories.Just enjoy the pictures peeps!

Our trip to Shenzhen was a bit tiring.We had to board a train to Shenzhen and we had quite a hard time with China's imigration .Dah la tak paham bahase lain selain bahasa mereka,maka macam itik cakap ngan ayam!Adusss...We stayed in Green Tree Hotel, Shenzhen.

Their shopping road was swarming with people.Macam semut.Sangat-sangat-sangat ramai manusia.Jalan pun berselisih bahu.And that was quite a turn-off.Pening nak bershopping sebab ramai sgt orang!Ishk,ishk..

Shenzhen ,China

DISNEYLAND;the highlight of our vacation of course!Hong Kong's Disneyland was the smallest of all Disneyland but it is enough untuk memenatkan kami!The parade of all Disney's character was so exciting.I grew up with these cartoons and watching it live was my childhood dream!Dah 25 tahun baru come true eh?haha..better late then never!Our tour in Disneyland ends up with a magnificent fireworks show.How I wish I can repeat my day in Disneyland...

There goes my Hong Kong trip.Tunggu punye lame, berbulan2 tapi sekejap je vacation tu habis.The next thing you know, the vacation was over.It was definitely a vacation to remember!And anak mama has been very good throughout the trip.tak meragam and sentiase happy.thank you Qistina!mama abah sayang Qis!

P/S: Bile Qis dah besar nanti, die mesti cakap 'tak ingat pun ma..' bile tengok gambar2.And she will say, 'jom la pergi lagi ma..Qis tak ingat pape pun..Jom la ma...Qis nak jumpe mickey and minnie..'

Everything or Something?

"i don't wish to be everything to everyone, but i would like to be something to someone."

Being everything to everyone, that is just absurd.Unless you can live a different lives at one time I don't see why one need to change to satisfy those around him/her.

Why would you want to be someone else when you get to be YOU?

How can I be everything to everyone when I just want to be me?I like being me.I like who and how I am now.Sorry if you don't like it but mind your business, I'm still going to be ME.

I don't see the benefit of changing ourselves to satisfy others at the expense of our own happiness.Stupid, that is.

I won't try to be everything to everyone and I hope everyone would except me being ME.

And I hope, by just being me, I can be something to someone.

Well, something to someone is way better than nothing to anyone!

p/s: entry ini bukan ditulis semase emo.hanya mengupas ayat diatas.

Leg.warmer.VaCatioN.

Yey! Combimini leg warmers yang ku order dah sampai! Cute and I'm satisfied with it. I can't wait to get these cute leg warmers on my little Qistina.


It is only RM30.Murah dan berbaloi-baloi...I purchased this from http://www.mybabyliciouscollection.blogspot.com/ There are a lot of cute leg warmers and other kids clothing as well.So go and check it out! (promo untuk ayda..hehe)

I bought this as part of my preparation for London Hong Kong's vacation.It's winter time now and my little Qistina do need warmth and comfort all the time.kalau tak die akan meragam and that is the last thing I want during the holiday.

I must say, this vacation is a long-and-most-awaited one.It has been a while since I last board a flight. The last one would be my honeymoon trip to Bali with my hubby.Actually, I would have gone to Bandung with my family last year but I refused to tag along coz I was pregnant at that time.

I know, siape kate mengandung tak boleh naik flight?Trust me, its not that. Its the flight itself.The thought of sitting in a small space inside the flight (tambah2 air asia) pun dah cukup nak buat saya pening and suffocate.So I had to backed out.

I'm off to Hong Kong from 3-7 December peeps!pray us a safe journey k!

HONG KONG, here we come!

Toodles!

Aidiladha 2009 @ Chini

Allow me to start this entry with these pictures..

My cool father-in-law, nun dibelakang my mother-in-law

lebiu darl!

My 2 favourite person!


This year's Aidiladha in Chini (my hubby's kampung) was fun and great..Tahun ni family my hubby decide nak korban seekor lembu..they shared the 7 parts of the lembu.some buat qekah, some buat korban..since Qistina dah diqekahkan, we decided to give our part untuk Qekah one of our anak buah.Sharing is caring eh?

Ini kali pertama sejak saye kahwin dengan Mr. Hubby, kami dapat kumpul ramai-ramai di Chini..Bile dah kumpul ramai2 tu, chaos nye tak payah nak cite..seronok!We had so much fun and laughter there.Penat.Tapi seronok.

My hubby is the youngest of 4 in his family but when help or advice is needed, others would turn to him and my hubby akan tolong mane yang mampu. Me and my hubby always remind ourselves that the more we give to others, Allah will give us more in return.

Bile kite memberi, the smile on their faces says everything. And that look, each time we see it, makes us realized how as small as RM10 would make them happy.Perasaan bile dapat menggembirakan orang lain sangat2 priceless!

Makan2 first raya

Hubby and beloved anak2 buah..

BP.impianku

Medela Freestyle Breastpump.

Ini adalah breastpump (BP) impian saya. I read tons of positive reviews on this one and saya rase breastpump ini sgt menarik..I'm currently using Avent Manual BP and yang ini pun saya suke but I want to own an electric BP. BP with double pumping especially. Tapi...yang ini mahal bangat dong..RM16xx (harga dekat http://www.mybreastpumpshop.com/ paling murah.promo,promo!)..waduh..

So after days of thinking, I've decided to go for Spectra 3 instead.Yang ni pun banyak good reviews from existing users.After all, this BP is way more murah affordable for a first time electric BP user like me.This is definitely in my wishlist for new year.I hope that this BP will increase my production for Qistina and her adiks..stop there!before you go any further,no I'm not pregnant..At least not for now.*wink*

Below are the things that I've decided to purchase.I'll be purchasing it at http://www.enjoybreastfeed.com/ sebab die bagi harge paling murah untuk Spectra 3 BP.Bende2 ni dah lame ade dalam shopping cart saya but tak tahu la bile nak belinye..duk je la kat situ diam2 dulu..hehe..saya tengah xde kumpul duit sekarang ni..

Spectra 3-boleh double pumping and ringan (tak seringan medela freestyle)

Spectra 3 Bag-nak simpan and carry the BP


SafetyPlus Bottle- untuk digunakan mase mengepam

Haa...comel tak barang2 ini?Semue ini dalam RM4xx..Semue ini untuk anak2 saya..I want the best for them.Doakan saya dapat hadiah beli semue ni eh..

Eh, tangan macam gatal pulak..orang kate kalau tangan gatal, nak dapat duit..Adekah En. Hubby nak bagi saye duit untuk membeli semue diatas?bestnyer...*daydreaming*

Nak bagi ayang duit eh sayang??hehe..*wink* lebiu!

Alahai.anak.mama

Sedihnye bile kenangkan semalam.Qistina merajuk dengan mama ye..Mama janji, lepas ni mama takkan tinggalkan Qis tanpa memberitahu mama gi mane..Alkisahnye....

Semalam keluar lunch dengan my mom and my youngest brother..After lunch, me and hubby decided to leave Qistina dekat rumah my mom sementara kami keluar beli barang sekejap..Mase tu pun mama tengok Qis macam dah mengantuk..So, sampai rumah my mom, terus my mom bawak die masuk rumah.And I thought she would easily go to sleep sebab mate die dah ngantuk sangat..

Balik beli barang, mama tengok anak mama ni tak tido pun..so mama bawak la anak mama ni balik, tido kat umah je la..then masuk je kereta, die dah mengamuk2, lembik2kan badan macam taknak mama die pegang..I thought its because Qis ngantuk so mama pujuk je macam biase.Rupenye sampai rumah pun still taknak kat mama..nak kat abah die je..menyusu pun taknak..each time mama amik mesti menangis2..mama dah risau dah..

"Die majuk kot Ayang, kite tinggalkan die tadi..yelar, tetibe tengok mama abah die xde.selalu kite cakap"..then it struck me..memang mase nak kuar tadi mama lupe nak mention kat Qis mama nak gi mane..alahai..

Sampai ke malam Qis tak nak ngan mama.taknak lagsung senyum/gelak bile mama gurau ngan Qis,xnak langsung panjat2 badan mama or sondol2 mama cam selalu..duk sebelah mama pun tak pandang mama bile mama panggil..sedihnye mama..Sampai bile nangis pun, nama abah die yang di panggil..selalu panggil name mama..alahai..mama sedih sangat mase tu..

Penyudahnye, sampai pukul 11 malam still mengamuk2..mate ngantuk nak tido, tapi xnak menyusu ngan mama..so meragam menangis2..puas mama pujuk Qis, dodoi nyanyi macam2 lagu..Akhirnye,nak dekat pukul 12 malam baru mama dengar anak mama ni sebut mama and baru hulur tangan nak mama amik..

Ala sayang mama ni..mara sangat dengan mama ye.Sorry sayang,mama terlupe nak bagi tahu Qis mama tinggal Qis dengan wan kejap..Mama lupe nak cakap bye2 mase Qis keluar kerete..Mama tak pergi mane pun..bukan mama nak tinggalkan Qis..mama keluar kejap je..Sorry ye sayang..

Mama janji lepas ni tak buat macam tu lagi..I promise..Qis jangan merajuk ngan mama dah eh..

I love you much!

Worried

Risau.

Qistina macam dah selsema balik..aduh, gundah mama dibuatnye..terus mama bagi ubat selsema and ubat demam..tido malam pun mama sik jage nak make sure anak mama ni berselimut.kalu x,mesti Qis tendang selimut tu sampai badan die x dibalut selimut.bertuah anak mama ni..

Mama taknak episod dulu tu berulang balik..mama and abah taknak 'bercuti' kat hospital tu..x best.lagipun anak mama ni kene sihat,nanti nak jalan2 tempat sejuk.Qis kene fit.

Mama doa Qis cepat sembuh.Mama doa Qis tak kene macam tu.Qis cepat sihat k.Weekend ni boleh ajak abah jalan2..

Mama sentiase doakan..

Yang penting,anak mama ni still active and friendly!

That's my princess!

Outing.Equals.Money

I am still recovering from a tiring weekend.It was fun though.Went IKEA + The Curve on Saturday with hubby, Qis, mom and Qlah. Ramai superb orang..well, what do you expect.Its a weekend after all. I have been craving for IKEA's meatball since Dirah mentioned this (yes Dirah, you are to blame for this!) but ended up eating at Marche's. Peliknye, makanan kat situ tak sedap la pulak macam dulu.Ok, maybe it was just me.Menyesal tak stick to my initial plan to makan meatball..shish.

Ended up buying a few things at IKEA. I would never go back empty-handed if it's IKEA (but JUSCO Alpha Angle still wins!).I just can't help myself.Period.Owh, we bought 2 baby chair for Qistina.One for my mom's home and one for mine.Now she can sits with us at the dining table.I won't have to see her jumping in her walker or tapping my legs asking for her share of our food each time we eat.Finally.

Me+hubby+Qis went for another shopping trip to Jusco Alpha Angle on Sunday.Actually, JJ has never failed to be in our places-to-go-list every week. Rasenye dah banyak kami meng-kayakan Alpha Angle tu sebab kami tak pernah balik tangan kosong!Never!We bought a few clothes for Qis and ourselves.Preparing for our year-end-most-awaited holiday.Yippie!!

Still had a few more things to buy and we will be ready to board the flight!!

Daaa...

Book.Freak

I'm down to the last book of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.Finished reading Eclipse yesterday and it took me quite some time to finish it.Reading is not as easy as it used to be.Why?because my time is not totally mine.I have to share it with my hubby and daughter.I can only read during office hour when all my work is done and there is nothing else to do.

I can't read at home at night let alone during weekends as I have my daughter and husband to attend to..Sometimes, when both of them are sleeping, I would try to read but trust me, I would ended up doing house chores.Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining.I love spending time with both of them and when they are around, holding a story book would be the last thing on my mind.

Back to the story book.Twilight.An interesting book it is.My hands just can't wait to get hold of the last book.Just waiting for the right time to start.Of course the book is much more interesting than the movie.

I have a few books that I bought but never had the chance to start reading it. I just can't help myself when it comes to story books and magazines.Once I had my eye on it, I would just buy them without thinking.If that is illegal, then yes, I'm guilty! Same goes with vegetables..I am a crazy woman when I am at the vegetable section in supermarkets..Just ask my mom..

Yes, I love to read.Since I was a kid, I love reading all sorts of storybooks..Siri Salma,Siri Hadi, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Fear Street and the list goes on and on.I am the only child of my family who reads since kindergarten.So guess who gets all my storybooks? Rumah Kebajikan or Anak-anak yatim.Non of my brothers and sister share the same interest.

I hope my children will love reading as well and I need to train them from now for them to share the same interest as me.Or maybe I can also use my dear friend Dirah, as a role model.She is after all, what I call a book freak!Sorry Dirah, but you are one!And its good and I would love my children to be a book freak!haha..*wink*

I think I will start reading Breaking Dawn next week.Hopefully I can restrain my desire to read it that long..haha..

toodles!

I.Remember

Suddenly I missed school so much..And each time I miss those times, I would have tons of images and memories flickering in my mind, grinning..I remember almost everything..

I remember being the last one to wake up and getting ready for morning class but still being among the earliest one to finish..I know, that fast huh?

I remember waking up early on Saturdays just to clean up the dorm, to be inspected..and continue my sleep after its done..

I remember waking up on Sundays, and notice that the hostel was just so quiet and I can only hear the sound of people washing their clothes, scrapping it like the stains wouldn't go off..

I remember having to tawaf around the hostel, 7 times, being a punishment for late Suboh..fun! with a background song by the boys (usually having their breakfast at that time)..Labbaikallah humalabbaik..talking bout express Hajj huh?..*wink*

I remember cooking mihun sup only with a water heater..delicious!don't ask how, i'll let you wonder and picture it youself..

I remember staying up late at Yan's dorm just to gossips and laugh like hell..and the next day, one of my juniors would say, "kak ain, malam tadi satu hostel dengar suare kak ain gelak.."..and I will just grin.

I remember the night before sports day where we would spend almost all night at the field and a few days without classes..nice.

I remember having late night supper, nasi lemak of course, with a mission that I would stay up to study, but ended up sleeping on top of my books..

I remember each time it's a pulang bermalam week, we would have Bee Huat busses lining up at our assembly area just to drive us to Kuantan's terminal.. and meronggeng dulu in Kuantan before boarding the bus to get home..

I remember the laughters more than the tears coz I have more of those there..The memories are all still strong and fresh..As if just yesterday I left school.

As I continue, I still have millions of memories flashing in my mind..To write down all of these, would take forever..

So I might as well just stop here.

Weekend.Summary

Kakiku sakit..futsal punye pasal..or maybe ini balasan merosakkan cermin mate Pell..sorry bro!Oppss,before you guys cube untuk membayangkan lagi, I want to clarify that NO! I did not kick the ball to his face and NO! I did not punch him in his face..His spectacle falls down dalam usehenye menangkap bole tendangan aku!!haha..like I said Pell, bill hantar kat Sani eh!!*tengkiu sayang..lebiu so much!hehe..wink*

We received a call from Chini Saturday morning..My hubby's neighbour passed away *innalillah*and we shoot back to Chini 10am in the morning..Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dah ditempatkan bersama orang2 yang beriman..*Al-fatihah*

*************************************************************************************

I have been alerted by the tour agency that all Air Asia flights to Beijing had been cancelled untill Feb next year because of the weather!

Berderau darah mendengarnye..Harapnye my flight would not be cancelled as well..but with the uncertain weather these days, you never know..

Ya Allah, aku berserah padamu..

.Random.

Akhirnya..baru dapat email all the passport to the tour agency..internet office sangat lembab.sakit hati.rase nak mara komputer tu.mara komputer?ok, radiculous.tapi still sakit hati.tapi,sabar je la..

Oh,I am in charge of purchasing Proton Waja for our client..bile nak beli, keluar ayat-ayat manis..kate ade tahun 2008 but bile sampai agreement, kate kete tu dah takde..kene amik tahun 2009.beb, kami bayar downpayment 1000 tu bukan untuk secure kerete tu ke??abis aku sembur.padan muke.ni bile dah sign agreement, kate leh cepat dapat.sampai sekarang, lampu kete pun tak nampak.bile tanye banyak alasan.again,kene sembur.padan muke!tapi, sabar jela..

Esok bawak Qis for a follow up appoinment with the doctor..she seems fine now, i think.sebab dah xde wheezing..I just hope for the best..Insyallah..

Can't wait for tommorow's futsal with the usual people..

Saya nak berpeluh..

Saya nak berlari,have fun and ketawa bebanyak..

Kalu xde aral,Insyallah esok serang SP Ampang..

toodles!

Qistina Warded

Last week was hectic!I had no time to update this blog of mine.

Qis had to be warded since she had difficulty in breathing..When Qis doctor's said that she has to be admitted, we were shocked! Is it that bad? But we finally agreed, albeit reluctantly, to bring her to the hospital..The thought of all the medication she has to consumed, saddened me..

So we (me+hubby+Qis) ended up spending 3 nights in Al-Islam Specialist Hospital (formerly known as Kampung Baru Medical Centre)..It was only me + Qis on the first night there as all the single room was full. The routine? Nebuliser (gas inhaler) every 3 hours and medication every 6 hours..So can u imagine Qis waking up 3 am and 6 am for this? Sometimes she would cry but most of the times, she continue with her sleep..Qis tak kesah..

The funny thing was, my baby Qis is still active, friendly and happy all the time..not even one second,Qis tak menjerit, melompat2 or senyum sumbing kat semue nurse and doctor yang melawat die..Even when the doctor had to cucuk tangan die nak masukkan antibiotic, Qis yang dok agah doctor tu..haha..Bertuah anak mama!



The bill? Don't even ask! but me and hubby agree on one thing, we would keep all the bills and whenever Qistina ni degil, we would show her the bill and kalu dah besar2 nanti derhaka, claim je!haha..*wink*

She is still recovering and better than before..It is a good hospital and I would recommend it to everyone..good and friendly doctors and staff..worth every penny we paid!Qistina sayang, jangan sakit2 macam tu dah eh..Actually mama and abah tak nak dah bercuti kat ward hospital!bosan!

doakan kis sembuh sepenuhnye peeps!

toodles!

SUE the little devil..

SUHAIZA ABDUL AZIZ, this one's for you!

Congrats Sue..

Dari zaman Maxisegar ke Rivera ke Pandan Perdana ke Pandan Terrace aku kenal ko..6 tahun dok serumah + all the gossips, cite panas, makan2, dan drive-thru, boleh kate aku kenal ko luar dan dalam..err,dalam?hehe..right Dirah?*flashback, grinning*

I will never forget that one fine Valentine's Day where ko jadi 'setan' and tempted me to 'curi-curi' my mum's car and drive all the way to Kolej Matrikulasi Melaka with Bob, of course, and we kidnapped my boyfriend-now-my-hubby, Sani for one day..It was fun though and I thank you for that.I thank you for being the little devil for that day or we might not have that hell of a memory!

Suhaiza,
After all you've been through, after all the dramas, after all the ups and down, you have finally found the ONE! and I wish you all the happiness in the world and may Allah blessed both of you!

Pengantin

I heart these girls!

Qis and her abah..

Sue, ko memang antara orang yang paling selamba aku pernah kenal..Ko lagi selamba dari aku!haha..but you are a good friend and you can be a good listener as well and I think Dirah will agree with me on this..Kite bertiga je kat rumah tu pun dah cukup nak mengejutkan bujang-bujang disebelah rumah with our laughters..I bet they selalu menggelengkan kepala dengar anak dara sebelah rumah tergelak..haha..but we won't give a s***!bak kate sue, (her favourite line):-

NGOMONG SAMA TANGAN!! (talk to the hand)

Our Mini Open House

Our mini open house last sunday was a success, alhamdulillah..Since I love cooking, we decided not to go for catering..I volunteered my self to cook the dishes..haha..berani mati punye! And so, dapurku dah mule berasap seawal hari sabtu..I had to start early coz I don have all the time in the world just to cook for our mini open house (aku suke perkataan 'mini' itu!)..There are a few other open houses and weddings on Saturday and kene lah pergi mane yang sempat..So aturcara memasakku adalah seperti berikut:

Saturday (3/10/09) pagi : masak laksa (laksa tahan lame, lagi lame lagi sedap!) and blend ingredients for my ayam masak merah

Saturday (3/10/09) malam : masak sos ayam masak merah n buat koktail buah (simpan dalam peti esok sejuk)

Sunday (4/10/09) pagi : masak nasi jagung, goreng ayam and rebus laksa.

Credit to my hubby: Terima kasih sayang tolong goreng ayam and jage Qis!Klau tak mesti tak menang tangan nak buat semue if si kecik meragam..

Hubby : ayang, ade member yang cancel last minit la..ayg masak cam banyak je ni..kalu banyak lebih camne?

Me : xpe...adenye orang datang nanti tu..kalu banyak lebih, kite bungkus bagi orang or bawak ke ofis esok ok?

He nodded.

He asked me the same question a few times..its clear that he's worried kalau ramai tak datang and makanan berlebih..hehe..aku pun risau gak sikit..pukul 1 pm, ade dalam 5 orang baru datang..and slowly, guests semakin bertambah..Both of us were shocked and glad at the same time sebab sambutan memberansangkan..yang lame tak jumpe, jumpe balik mase ni..

By 2pm, tetamu sgt ramai di rumah kami..parking penuh dari hujung jalan ke hujung jalan macam ade kenduri kawin..hehe..I was so busy checking and refilling the food sampai tak sempat nak berborak panjang ngan semue..Each corner of our house were full with guests in groups..

Shah Pekan
UPM
KPTM
EY
Neighbours
Relatives

The event continues sampai maghrib..malam tu jemput lagi satu family datang makan..Nasib baik my mom and siblings datang tolong mengemas..kalu tak mau aku and hubby patah pinggang..dengan Qistina lagi nak dilayan..

Penat memasak, tapi seronok tengok orang makan sampai licin..
Penat melayan tetamu, tapi seronok tengok tetamu ramai datang..
Penat ke sane ke sini, tapi seronok dapat jumpe rakan2 yang jarang jumpe..
Penat nak buat itu ini, tapi seronok tgk semue orang happy and our house were full with laughter that day..
At the end of the day, kami sgt penat tapi kami sgt seronok and puas hati dapat jumpe rakan2 sambil menjamu mereka dengan makanan..

Thank you dear friends for coming..
Thank you to those who helped me on that day..you know who you are..
Thank you for making our mini open house a success..mission nak jumpe reramai, accomplished!

P/S: kami mohon maaf kalau terlupe mengajak..ade yang datang walau kami lupe menjemput and for that, we thank you sebab tak amik hati and we appreciate that..sometime terlupe sebab banyak bende nak kene fikir..and kami panjang-panjangkan jemputan kami pada kawan2 yang lain..tak jemput personally tak semestinye kami lupe or tak sudi..datang je ke rumah kami..

Ok, my mom's open house pulak next! (not a mini one ok!)

*stretching badan untuk majlis my mom*

8. Khamis (24/9/09) rehat je kat umah sebab tido lambat.kami bertolak pulang ke KL pukul 4.30pm sampai di rumah kul 9.30pm..Qis tido dari Kulai sampai Seremban..pergh!kejang tangan aku..but better die tido, kalu tak lasak tak reti duduk diam..

Dah sampai rumah, legenye takyah nak kate..Rumahku jugak yang terbaik..HOME SWEET HOME!

Yang paling best sekali, raya ni Qis dapat banyak duit raya..mencecah 4 angka ok!!aik, mengalahkan mama n abah die dulu2 la pulok!!tambah lagi duit simpanan akaun Nuri anak mama ni..Alhamdulillah..

Aidilfitri

I will be going back to Kuala Pilah tonight..I can't wait and I tell you, I am in no mood to work anymore..Macam excited sgt pulak nak balik raya tahun ni..Dah lame tak rase camni bile nak raya..maybe its because last year raye kat KL dulu or maybe because this year, I had an additional family member which is my dear daughter, Arissa Qistina Sani!!Raya kedua, baru kami akan balik ke Chini.

This shout out goes to ya'll:

Selamat Hari Raya

Maaf Zahir Batin

Pandulah dengan selamat (bacalah doa naik kenderaan)

Enjoy, enjoy jugak tapi biar berpada-pada!!

Trust me, I manage to shed a few kgs during ramadhan but it won't take the whole Shawal month to gain it back..beberapa hari pun dah cukup..aahhhaaakkksss!!

PISSED.OFF

This kind of entry was done by Dirah once..When I read hers, I totally understand because I had organized a few events before..So, I have been in her shoes with the same experience! And now I am PISSED OFF lagi because I have to go through this all over again..

Manusia ni selalu ambil mudah certain2 things even if they know that it has effects on others..Cube bayangkan, as simple as confirming they are attending or not attending pun sangat-sangat susah..

Bukan susah pun, bile dijemput, check availability and text or call je kate 'attending' or 'not attending'..yes, i understand sometimes ade certain bende takes time nak kompem but can't you at least let the organizer know? xyah la berlagak macam orang besar asik nak organizer call or sms tanye nak pergi ke tak?nak pergi ke tak? macam orang takde keje lain nak buat!!

Bile tak organize, sibuk dok cari tanye taknak organize ke reunion this and that..and so when someone takes the initiative to organize, susah pulak nak confirmkan..nak kene call banyak kali bagai..this is one of the reason sometimes me, my hubby and a few of our usual organizer malas nak buat bende2 nih..

At the end of the day, I always tell myself, sape ade,adelah..xade sudah..kalu 4 orang je, maka 4 orang je lah yang ade..watpe kite nak pening kepale sengsorang..

I can be a very good organizer but kalau orang yang di invite adalah orang2 yang macam bagus, hebat macam mane pun kite, event takkan berape menjadi..sape makan cili, memang rase berasap!!

MERDEKAkah itu?

I'm back from my 5 days holiday!!bestnye masuk kerja dah hari rabu..lagi 2 hari dah Jumaat balik.Went back to Chini on Friday and came back on Monday..Alhamdulillah, I survived the heat and dryness there..haha..Allah je yang tahu betapa panas nye kat situ and nasib baik iman aku kuat lagi..I know this sounds cam mengade but if I really can't stand the heat, I would just start my hubby's car engine, turn on the aircond and stay inside with Qistina..haha..nasib baik hubby ku memahami..thank you sayang!!

31 Ogos 2009.. hari kemerdekaan Malaysia..Tapi ape yang merdeka? kite merdeka dari jajahan jer.. yang lainnye aku tak tahu ape yang merdekanye..jangan salah faham, aku cintakan Malaysia..aku sayang negara tempat aku lahir, dan cari rezeki ni..Aku bangga jadi anak Malaysia..

Tapi...

Kita tak boleh nak terima perubahan sebab kalau berubah nanti kite susah, merdeka kah itu?

We voice up, kite 'dipancung', merdekakah itu?

Kita disuap berita-berita berat sebelah dan tak telus, merdekakah itu?

Isu-isu kecil dikorek dan dibesarkan walhal isu-isu besar yang jelas dan terang dibiarkan walau dah dipersoalkan, merdekakah itu?

Merdeka pada aku bukan setakat merdeka dari jajahan..
Merdeka pada aku harus,
MERDEKA MINDA!
Hrm..malas lah nak cakap pasal ni dah..Setiap tahun kita laungkan MERDEKA tu tapi setakat laung je..

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia!!

xoxo!!

Ahlan Wasahlan ya Ramadhan!!

Selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan semua!!

Hari ni dah hari ke empat puasa, alhamdulillah so far, aku mampu bertahan..Insyallah, hari2 seterusnye pun harapnye macam tu..

Weekdays takyah pening kepala fikir nk masak ape sebab tu semue mama aku yang pk..tapi weekdays mesti dah fikir weekend nanti nak masak ape untuk berbuka dan bersahur..puase kali ni kalau bole aku nak masak jer, xnak beli lauk kat pasar ramadhan..beli kuih jer..

Pergi bazar ramadhan, aku tak bawak Qis..tak berani nak bawak die tempat sesak2 tu..H1N1 tak reda lagi..Kalau weekend hantar die gi rumah mama aku, pastu merempit gi bazar ramadhan ngan Sani..hehe..yang paling menduge aku ialah air2 yang pelbagai warna dan jenis ditambah ngan ais..pergh!!masyuk..Kuih pun boleh tahan..tapi iman aku masih kuat..membeli kene beringat!

Anakku Qistina pun kadang2 bangun bersahur nak teman mama n abah die..orang bersahur lalok2, mamai2, die menjerit2 n berborak2 sengsorang..gamat rumah mase sahur..tapi tak kire lah Qis bangun sahur ke tak bangun, pagi2 mesti dapat susu..huhu..

Puasa baru hari keempat, tapi telinge ni dah selalu terngiang2 lagu raya!!!tahun lepas raya berdua, tahun ni bertiga!!tahun depan???berempat or berlima kot...amin..*wink*

xoxo..

Qistina ~ 5 months

kepenatan...

kegeraman...

kemonyokkan...

mama ni...Qis tak sempat posing laa...

kelmarin,semalam,hari ini dan esok..

Kelmarin mentuaku datang ke kl..It was fun..bawak diorang jalan2 and makan best2..and shopping untuk raya sekali..I can still remember their happy faces..Hari Ahad gi hantar diorang ke Melake..So Ahad was a travelling day~tiring but fun..

Semalam Mynn kene ragut..2 budak bodoh and takde akal pecahkan tingkap kete die mase berhenti kat traffic light, amik beg laptop..but the laptop was not in the bag..sadly, her wallet and her external hard disk was..sedih Myn coz dalam hard disk tu ade banyak hasil kerje die..berasap telinge ni mase dengar..but thankfully, she's safe..thankfully, nothing worst happened.

Myn: sabar ye..ko mesti akan teringat bende ni for a few days..but yang penting be strong and always tell yourself everything happened for a reason..Ini dugaan Allah..Allah sentiase duga orang2 yang di sayangiNya..

Hari ini aku puasa..puasa ganti yang tak terganti-ganti dari Ramadhan yang lepas..sehari je kene ganti tapi tak terbuat-buat..hopefully I'm strong enough to face this Ramadhan..I hope tak kene buka pose sebab tak larat..yelar, menyusukan Qis..Insyallah..

Esok? esok tak tahu lah ape yang akan jadi..Wallahua'lam..

P/S: How I met my husband (part 2) is still in the making..nak karang kene ade mood..tak leh main hentam je...feel kene ade..tungguuuuuu...

xoxo!

How I Met My Husband (Part1)

SANIZABRI BIN AWANG

First time I met him was 12 years ago, back in Shah Pekan..Mase ni baru masuk sekolah tu..Form 1~ budak hingusan lagi..I remember during the icebreaking session, we had to introduce ourselves to our new friends and that was when I first talk to him..

"Saya Nurul 'Ain bt Mohd Amin..name awak sape?"as usual, I will start..aku kan extrovert?

"Nama saya Sani..." ~then I sort of heard him mumbling

"ha?sape?tak dengar la wak"

"Sani...." again, mumbling

"ape? Sani Samprit?" ~sambil mengerutkan muke, sebab confius dengan name tu..haha..

"tak....Sanizabri Awang"

"Owh..sorry..hehe.."

I can still remember this incident but he can't..Maybe its because of his wierd name that I think I heard..Sani Samprit?buruk gile!haha!And that's it..mase tu je kitorang pernah talk to each other..the next thing I heard, dah ade girlfriend..yelar, orang muke jambu!

To make the story more interesting, we had a short relationship going on between us when we were form two..I mean, REALLY SHORT! sebab x sampe sebulan..haha..mase break up pun, ok je dalam phone coz x sempat nak develop feelings for each other.but I remember he had to say twice that he wants us to break-up..tau kenape?sebab die tgk aku relax jer takde feeling..I just said OK! haha..siap gelak2 lagi..the only thing he said that made me a bit sad is that, he doesn't want us to stay freinds anymore..

After we broke up, I said to myself, that's it! no more coupling in school..sebab sgt2 boring..mase couple sekejap tu pun, I once received a letter from Sani telling me that he heard I was loud, gelak kuat,ganas..you know, I'm just ME!and that hit me.I said to myself,xkan aku kene berubah?I just want to enjoy school life!I want to be able to be friends with anyone I like..Biase la,budak2..kuat la memberontak mase tu..haha..so that is the only one time I had a boyfriend..but not for him..one girlfriend after another..cam tukar baju..nak wat camne, even with his reputation, the girls still falls for him..especially the juniors!

And the next thing we know, we are enemies..dari form3-5, our friends know that we were enemies..Even our seniors know bout it!can u imagine? We will try to avoid seing each other's face..I even heard he doesn't like my perfume! white musk by bodyshop mase tu..sampe melekat white musk tu with my name..asal bau je, the boys will say "eh, bau Gina"..so I change my perfume but they never stop saying that..budak lain pakai perfume tu pun, they would ask, "ko pakai perfume Gina ke?" gile LAME!ni semue pasal Sanizabri tak suke! :-p

Tapi sebenarnye, throughout the years, ade a few times kitorang baik sekejap..but SEKEJAP only!Banyak lagi insiden2 yang jadi..If I were to tell all of it, panjang lak entry ni..when we think of it now, tak terpikir pun mase tu that kitorang ni ade jodoh..maybe banyak bende yang jadi mase tu, adelah petunjuk2 yang kitorang ni ade jodoh but that was the last thing to think of back then..yelar, musuh!nak pk kawin?ptuih,ptuih!

And when school ended, we go separate ways..It doesn't occur to me at all, that our destiny will somehow intertwined somedays..

To be continued...

Futsal.Sale.Shopping

Weekend was normal..Bawak Qis pergi cucuk kat Pusrawi..The moment I put her down on the bed, die dah merengek2 pandang muke abah die wat muke kesian..As if dah tahu nak kene cucuk..haha..pandai..but cute though..selalu abah die je yang kesiankan..not me..haha..cam jahat jer eh?

We can't make it for friday's nite futsal..baru ingat nak jumpe bebudak ni..My hubby was a bit tired from his work and his journey back home..but it's ok..hope we can make it this Saturday..hehe..Lame tak jumpe Myn and Dirah..

Get Well Soon

saje letak tajuk ni..bile orang bace, macam doa untuk kite kan?hehe..

Batuk dan selsema ini tak baik2 lagi..Luckily my demam dah baik..

*sigh*

Yang paling tak best sekali, batuk ni suke datang mase baby Qis dah tido..batuk tu yang tak henti2 lak tuh...sabar jelah...dugaan..

Kalu ini dugaan Allah untuk membersihkan dosa2 kecilku, maka ku terima dengan redhanye...

No worries, its not H1N1..dah check dah..

By the way someone told me this:

Lelaki tak takut H1N1 but takut B1N1...

Haha..yeker?tak semue camtu..

Anyways, hopefully I will get better soon..Harapnye dapat join Dirah, Myn and others main futsal..lame tak jumpe diorang..

*xoxo*

Weddings..

Weekend was fun..me,hubby and Qis travelled to Muar for Chalep's a.k.a K-ree's wedding..Dah due minggu berturut2 pergi kenduri ke Melaka..We have been attending to quite a number of weddings for the past 2 months..Member sekolah mostly..

Me and Sani agreed on one thing, we would try our best to attend to our friends' wedding especially those who made it to ours..K-ree was at our weeding, so kami pun membalas..Spend a night at my brother-in-law place in Melake..xde la jauh sgt nak travel to Muar the next day..

Tak ramai of our friends turn up but yang ade pun dah ok and we had lots to talk about..Kalu cerita pasal sekolah, dengan mane2 budak Shah pun boleh..jadik jer! So Zaren and Fikri, thanks for the stories and jokes..

To Chalep (don't ask why is his name macam tu coz trust me, u don't want to know!), Syakirah, and Ahmad, congratulations and semoga berbahagia sampai akhir hayat!

Insyallah..

So who's wedding is next?
