POSITIVELY POSITIVE!!

2009-05-01T19:00:00.005+08:00

Well..what can i say...buah cempedak dah jadi nangka!!I have been doing such a good job for the past three years..always been careful not to be pragnant again..at least not for another 2 or 3 years..but Biology has failed me!!

Hubby is taking things positively,even more positive than I am..of course lah kan, sebab bukan dia yang bawak perut..heheheh.

So..until this December, I have to keep myself away from:

a) my high heel shoes

b)my tight jeans

c)my reduce weight plans(uuuaaarrrrgghhhh!!!)

d)long distance journey( if possible)

e)my casual blouses n dresses cause for sure tak muat!!

But I am sure this is a blessing in disguised..so thankful for all the wonderful experiences in my life..Alhamdulillah!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!!

2009-02-01T19:36:00.003+08:00

They have been together for 32 years last Friday, 30th of January 2009.So on Saturday, hubby and I decided to take both my parents out for dinner to celebrate the memorable day and to appreciate their unfailing support and love towards me and my two kids. We were served with fantastically delicious traditional Northern Thai cuisines and surprisingly my son was so in a very good mood and cooperated pretty well when asked to pose for some pictures..perhaps he was just happy for both his beloved grandparents..to mom and dad, may both of you be in good health and be blessed always, Amin...

AN ENGINEER AT LAST....

2009-01-30T08:41:00.000+08:00

My third younger brother has finally graduated after 4 years of painstaking exams and assignments. One year after earning his own money as an engineer somewhere in KL, he finally got to attend his convocation ceremony, which was most awaited by my parents especially. So ,off we went to Kuantan or University Malaysia Pahang, to be precised and witnessed his very proud moments to be handed his precious degree as an engineer, the first one in the family. Then later on that night, we had a little celebration of "makan-makan" (what else!) at the "not so comfy" chalet area at Cherating Beach. Here are some photos of the event or vacation...

With the whole family... Me n brothers

2009-01-12T20:18:00.004+08:00

I dont why these few weeks my tekak always craving for the Crispy Noodles..Whenever I eat out with hubby and the kids, I will always ask for one..but sometimes the frustration was too hard to bear when the restaurants or stalls tak jual my favourate Crispy Noodles!and it will be ages for me to decide what else to eat besides that crispy, crunchy ,spoonlicking noodles.Pregnant?? No lah..I am positively negative!There are a few choises of Crispy Noodles to choose from....

1.Crispy Noodle Hong Kong Style..

2.Crispy Noodle Cantonese Style..

Personally I think Cantonese style is the best!!

Yup.. i am referring to my Kuching trip..2008 was the year of Cuti-cuti Malaysia for me and Kuching was the finale of all my trips and vacations and basically this year i have travelled to all parts of Malaysia except for Sabah.

As people say , nothing is for free in this world..but I got to go to Kuching for FREE!!It was the chance of a lifetime!!Without much hesitation, I grabbed the chance when I had it.And the most important part of all, it was worth it!!It was totally a trip for us to have fun, shop till we drop and enjoy the sight seeing and makan2 plus jalan2...hopefully 2009 adalah lagi makan angin free for me..hehhehe!

THE GRAND FINALE...

2009-01-09T18:11:00.000+08:00

It was the final wedding for me last year...and was the most awaited wedding ever...and i was relieved that it's over and everything went smoothly as planned...the wedding of my one and only beloved elder cousin sister..TANTY YUSHIDA and her beloved wedded hubby, NOOR AZHAR.Me and hubby played a very important role in ushering the happy couple, in making sure that the house was always safe and secure(no strangers around) and also to make sure that the place was spic and span after the big event was over..fyuih!!and as for the kids..they were always roaming around, grabbing people's attention, became the flower boy and girl and not forgetting ruining some photo sessions..well, i will let these pictures do the talking!

SOMETHING SWEET TO REMEMBER ME BY...

2008-11-11T09:05:00.005+08:00

The wedding of the year for my Singaporean family is so near now.This 21,22 and 23 of November, we will witness the long-awaited marriage of my one and only elder cousin sister.So, as a very close person to her ,it is a must for me to help her out in preparing for her very important day.And that includes these....something sweet,especially for the kids...

MY LATEST ADDICTION...

2008-11-20T09:53:00.000+08:00

This is a series that portrays the live of King Henry the VIII,about his reign and his powers as well as his lust for women.And his ultimate problem was, he had no heir to his thrown!!In other words, he wanted a son sooo very badly.He had 2 sons before, but they all died at a very young age and afterwards, he received only daughters. So I guess the King needs to learnt some techniques after all..hehehe,Farid ko kena ajar dia kaedah yang tepat nak dapat anak lelaki, since kau dah ader 2 hero kan..haha,jangan mare...!

I really solute the great setting, costume and make-ups of this series as it really take you back to the 1500s.And the castings are also overwhelming..they are so damn good and such a pro!!King Henry is so gorgeous I'm telling you!!Hubby and I bought the whole set of season I and II and we had the TUDORS marathon for nights..but we have to first make sure that the kids are no where near us as there are scenes in the series which are not meant for their eyes...

There are a few things that I have just discovered about these Royalty lifestyle:

1. The Kings were forbidden from attending funerals,even of their

immediate families.

2. The Queens were not allowed to breastfeed their children unless

its a son.

3. The Kings and Queens will have their own separate chambers after

they are married...no wonder the Kings have numbers of

mistresses.

4. The Queens had no freedom to raise their children.In most cases

their children will be sent somewhere far and will be taken care

by a personal baby sitters or nanny.

PRESENTING TO YOU..THE BRIDE...

2008-11-19T09:34:00.004+08:00

Oh..ooopppsss!!!!I actually got the picture of the wrong person...This is the future..future and so much future bride to be who just love to have henna on her finger nails..

HEALTHY OR NOT HEALTHY?

2008-11-01T08:20:00.000+08:00

Definately not healthy for young kids like mine to be roaming around such a place. The games available here are mostly for adults but since he begged us so much to "play games"( which we imagined to be those coin-operated musical machines), so we entered this game arcade. But unfortunately, there were non of such machines. Instead, we were welcomed with Daytonas, Ninja Fighters, Soccer Mania..to name a few. I started to grimace and was showing off my discomfort about the place as those who were there were mostly adults with at least a can of beer. in their hands. I was hoping to leave at once but my husband decided that we stay and grant my son his wish to play one of the games there. The father and son started off with Daytona and he showed very little interest at first. Then they switched to Ninja Fighters..and to our surprise, he played well...as if he had been playing before..I do not know where he obtained the skills but one thing for sure, he should not enter such places again unless with our supervision...addiction is what I fear the most!

OUR EID THIS YEAR...

2008-10-13T13:27:00.005+08:00

Well...our raya this year was not very different from the previous years..

We head of to Beranang on the eve of raya and spent our time there for 2 days before we finally arrived in Jasin,where my parents had been impatiently waiting for our arrival.

As for me and hubby, raya month is the time where we finally get the time to meet some distant and far away relatives, whom we only get to see once a year..its the time for sharing of stories, jokes and raya means the moments for laughter and more laughter..and not forgetting its the month where we have to spend and spend till the very last cent(ceiwah...macam la banyak beno duit nya)...

On the other hand, for Norman and Sofea, raya means playtime!Not even a single minute is wasted for none other than playing,jumping,jiggling,gigling, laughing and more(except for the time where they have fallen asleep)...well,kids..thats the best part of becoming one of them..

So I guess im still not too late to wish all of you SELAMAT HARI RAYA...May we get to see each other again next year..well, enjoy the pics..

Raya @ Beranang...

Raya @ Jasin

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US...

2008-10-04T13:24:00.001+08:00

Yup...

4th of October this year marks the 5th anniversary of our marriage..Married for 5 years with 2 kids..life just couldn't be better for both of us..We still have a very long way to go and hopefully we could become stronger and wiser in facing our ups and downs together...May Allah protects and bless us..amin.

BUSY NYA!!!

2008-08-24T08:58:00.006+08:00

Hai,orang lain yang gi meeting...orang lain pulak yg nampaknya busy semacam....My hubby yang ada meeting, tapi anak dia pulak yang buat preparation.

On the journey from JB to KL dia sebok ngan lappy dia, revising his ABC...muka berkerut2,as if he was the one who needs to do the presentation.

Then the situation continues at the hotel room,habis computer hotel tu dikerjakannya..if he's not watching tv, he'll be in front of the computer,clicking here and there...and I will be screaming and yelling, asking him to stop what ever that he's doing...but, in the end of the day...I have to give in...ini budak batu jugak ada duduk dalam dia punya kepala la...

si abang busy ngan computer...si adik plak buat apa?

Ha..ni lah kerja dia.This drama queen of mine suka melaram and melawa...busy tengok cermin je 24-7...and then she would say..."CANTIKNYA....!"

PESTA DURIAN!!

2008-08-01T15:55:00.003+08:00

This week is definitely a week of makan-makan for all the teachers of TIJB.We had our Potluck on Tuesday,where we ate all we can and tapau the left overs.And this morning we were treated with a whole lot of durianzzz..wow!And as a durian lover,I did not want to miss the opportunity to enjoy the fiesta...but I ate only a few as the weather is not so inviting for extra intake of durians.Free food is always so delicious and worth eating.These durians were specially ordered from Fama and were of good quality ones..we were all so full today and even brought back some durians home.. erkk..Alhamdulillah.

NIKE FEVER!!

2008-07-31T20:12:00.004+08:00

Besides the lovely flowers, my hubby also bought me a pair of Nike shoes...and I actually get to choose the one that I like best.There's a hidden agenda behind the sport shoes..he wants me to work out more and burn more calories!!

He even bought a pair of snickers for himself as a motivation for him to accompany me for a jog after work..well, unlike me, he is really a sports person..always looking forward for futsal or football matches,golf tournaments and stuff.

He is a fan of Nike's merchandise and so he insisted that I wear something Nike as well...The Nike fewer is on..we are ready to take up the challenge..ceiwah,iya lah tu!!

A BOUQUET OF LOVE....

2008-07-31T09:53:00.004+08:00

Berbaloi gak merajuk kali ni...dapat a bouquet of flowers from hubby.Alah, bukan merajuk betol,merajuk manja je..saja nak attention from him.He was ultimately busy these few weeks and have very little time to spare for me..maklum lah, I ni memang manja!Then he went to KL for a few days without informing me earlier..sedih tau kena tinggal with the kids to handle..

So last night he came back with those flowers in his hands and toys for the kids!!Nak pujuk wife dia yang kuat bebel and kuat ngajuk ni..hehehe.And I was and still so flattered and happy...senyum panjang je hari ni at work.

So dear hubby, if you happen to read this entry, thank you so much for everything...you really complete me!Love you....muah!!

LOVE IT..MUAH!!

2008-07-30T12:25:00.004+08:00

I missed the movie in cinemas last year and only get to watch it last week at Astro Kirana and I loved it!!No wonder it won 3 Academy Awards last year for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Make Up.It is definitely my cup of tea..Its a mixture of everything..thriller,magical,mysterious,horror,

murder and a heart breaking story of a mother and daughter.

A story about a girl who lives in an imagenary worldn of her own creation and faces so many weird experiences.

My son is very scared of this terribly ugly creature...dia panggil "Hantu Mata"..

SINGAPORE SHORT VISIT..

2008-07-28T20:25:00.009+08:00

We have not been to Singapore for nearly 3 months.So last weekend hubby and I decided to pay my aunt and uncle a little visit.It was unplanned(well,what's new!),so we have to literally swim the ocean of cars and lorries and fumes which is part and parcel of the journey to Singapore each time.

After hours in traffic jam,we headed to Marina City for dinner.We went to "Popeyes" for some juicy fried chicken and fries and this special biscuit(or better described as very soft oven fresh bread)but the place was crowded and all the seats were taken, so we have to practice some patience and waited for available seats.Thanks so much Mommy Usz for the delightful dinner!!Yum..yum..

After dinner, we stepped out of "Popeyes" and looked way up high on the sky and enjoyed some beautiful views of the "Singapore Flyer",almost similar to our very own "Eye On Malaysia".My son keep nagging us for a ride but since it was already dark plus the ticket is at SD$30 per person(mahal sei!!), we decided to postpone it to some other time in the future..haha,entah bila lah!

Then on Sunday,we headed to Mount Faber for our cable car ride.The last time I had my Singapore cable car ride was yeaaarrrss ago with my parents and that day I took my children there just like my parents did.The best part was,we get to take the pink one,my favourite colour(just like the one in the picture).So we took the ride from Mount Faber to Sentosa Island and back to Mount Faber again,where my aunt and uncle waited for us.At first, we thought the height and the swinging of the cable car here and there would scare the kids.But we were totally wrong!They enjoyed every little second up there.Not even a grimace of scare and fright..that was a relieve for us.Instead,hubby and I were having cold feet since we are both height freak!Yet we stayed calm and always put a smile on our face.The view was undeniably breathtaking...so there goes our weekend!!

LITTLE GATHERINGS @ MY NEW PLACE

2008-07-10T10:15:00.007+08:00

I just moved in for about a week and yet so many people have come to visit and a few gatherings took place as well...little tahlil and prayers,bithday bash and my Singaporean family get-together..tiring but I had fun!!

FIRST AID AND CPR COURSE..

2008-07-07T20:55:00.004+08:00

I sacrificed 2 of my precious weekends to attend the course.The 4-day course comprised of lectures,hands-on practice and test, oral as well as written test.The best part was, I got to kiss a manikin for the CPR practice...arrghhhh!But it was worth it and I learnt a lot about bandages,rescues and treatment of injuries and I finally discovered what CPR stands for, Cardio Pulmonary Resusitation!...Hopefully I can make use of all the skills I acquired at home, school and anywhere possible.But one thing for sure,I will practice more CPR with hubby in future...hahahaha!!

BIBIK ASIPA DALAM KENANGAN..

2008-07-03T22:05:00.003+08:00

29th June 2008 was the day we lost Bibik Asipa forever...After being part of us for one year and six months,she suddenly passed on without giving us the chance to ease her pain and fulfill her dreams.She was a very tough lady who was mistreated by her ungrateful husband and came to seek happiness and fortune here in Malaysia but unfortunately, had to leave us much earlier than we could ever imagine.She has undoubtedly loved my two children with all her heart and has taken great care of them...Bibik Asipa, you are missed by all of us and we are still grieving over your lost..Thank you for being so patient with us,thank you for being there for the children and thank you for everything..May you rest in peace,Amin...

MATAHARIKU

Tertutup sudah pintu..pintu hatiku,

Yang pernah dibuka untuk...hanya untukmu,

Kini kau pergi dari hidupku,

Ku harus relakanmu walau aku tak mahu,

Berjuta warna pelangi di dalam hati,

Sejenak luluh bergening,

Berlalu pergi,

Tak ada lagi cahaya suci,

Semua nada beranjak aku terdiam sepi,

Dengar lah matahariku,

Suara tangisanku,

Ku bersedih karna panah cinta menusuk jantungku,

Ucapkan matahariku,

Puisi tentang hidupku,

Tentangku yang tak mampu,

Menaklukkan waktu....

In memory of Bibik Asipa....

SPAGHETTI @k@ MEE SUP MERAH..

2008-06-26T22:44:00.005+08:00

Spaghetti will always safe the day when I'm in no mood to cook any dishes.Besides, this Italian cuisine is highly demanded by my kids cause they love pasta sooo much..But unfortunately, Norm has yet to remember the food by its name. Instead of asking for spaghetti, he would say "Mommy, nak mee sup merah....".He will address all types of noodles with gravy as "mee sup"..Well, whatever it is, I am happy to see that they really enjoyed their meals.The so called "easiest-dish-to prepare" Spaghetti filled up their hungry little tummies...

MUQADDAM LESSON WITH MOMMY...

2008-06-23T19:24:00.001+08:00

I know my kids are still too young to understand the need to learn the muqaddam...but looking at their 24-7 busy schedule, updating themselves with the programmes in stores for them @Astro channels 611,612,613 and 614..I started to get worried sick..so I make it a must for them to have at least 3 sessions of muqaddam lesson per week..sofea is easy to handle, but norman..oh..so hard to get him to sit for even one minute!!!like father like son..perhaps!hehe..jangan mare ayang...

WHAT A COMFY!!!!

2008-06-22T19:04:00.005+08:00

These sandals may look uninterestingly dull and out of shape but the comfort they will offer your feet is worth buying..For only RM 9.99 at any Giant outlets,I dont have to opt for any other shoes for almost any occasion(except when it comes to work lah)...so light and comfy!!
