She is ONE!

A baby girl brings sunshine to brighten your day.
A baby girl brings joy through her loving ways.
A baby girl is a blessing that comes from above.
A special and beautiful treasure to love. -Unknown-

THEN...

NOW...

My baby Hana officially turned one today and Alhamdulillah until this point of time though it's not easy, I am happy that she is still growing fully on mommy's milk without dairy formula substitutes. How can such a little person have such a big effect in such a little amount of time and I can’t believe how she has evolved from a very teeny tiny infant to a sweet little princess. It's amazing how much she has transformed from a baby into nearly a toddler and the next thing before i knew it, she will be getting married.huhu. ok chill, she just got one year older.;p

We had celebrated her birthday few days earlier. My initial plan is to throw an elaborate party at home but since we hardly have time to do it I just scrapped off the idea and go for a cozy little party instead. She may be just a year old and hardly cares about birthdays now, but the first birthday is more about the parents surviving the first year, so perhaps a simple celebration will do. Since my close colleague is expecting her first child, we decided to have a combo celebration - birthday n baby shower.

We got Hana a small yummylicious Baskin Robbins's ice-cream cake and sang her Happy Birthday.

sorry baby, that cake is too cold and too sweet for u. just let us the adults eat...

Happy Birthday sunshine, I know u won't be little forever but please don't grow up so fast..Mama sooo in love with you...!

Hello December.

Ok where should I start. I've promised to update at least once a month but I barely have time to sit properly and throw something in this little space of mine. I can’t help it since I've other priorities to be straightened out. Life has been pretty hectic with workloads in the office (the new boss zeriously driving me kerazyyy..!) and motherhood keeps me busy especially when u have fully breastfed baby and most of the time she needs me for her milk supply as I need her too to avoid breast engorgement.

Not much to blog about just on Hana's development .Btw my baby turned 10 months recently. She's now expert in crawling around the house, pulling herself up to standing that still need extra vigilance, climbing the stairs and cruising the furniture. She loves to cruise along the furniture we had to sell our teak sofa sets since they got sharp edges that may create hazards to Hana. Ok, that justified reason to buy a new one.hehe.

Part of the sofa set that were sold within 3 days after hubby advertised em in mudah.my. so mudah..Just ignore the little explorer behind the sofa ;p

Hana is 10 months ...

On a different note, went to office annual dinner last Friday night. Didn't get the chance to join the dinner last year since I was expecting Hana. The theme was glamorous night, I seriously have no idea on what to wear but thanks to FashionValet, their Radzwan Radziwil's kaftan caught my eyes although I need to cut em off for a good 6 inches..;p Go check their website, feast your eyes and itchy hands clicking their lines of local and designer's brands.

Basically the night was filled with laughters, karaoke, food and camwhoring. There were nominees like the best dress, the most masculine etc like an Oscar. I cant believe was dragged on the stage by colleagues and sang our discordant version of Untukmu, Feminin. Yeah like those old days...And thanks to hubby for taking care of Hana on that particular night..You're simply the best..;D

And for now, the bed is calling...:)

Not So Wordless Wednesday-When Hana Froyoing..

2011-10-12T13:30:00.001+08:00

Sorry blog, no ample time to update lately.Btw Hana turns 8 months already, how time flies. Here's Hana pics froyoing last weekend. No I never give her frozen yogurt like this before, this is her first time tasting something cold and sugary. A very little amount, hujung sudu je. (though I heard yogurt is a great source of protein for babies..).

bosannya..asyik org besar je yang makan..

rasa sikit boleh..

om nom nom...

wow..deliciousnyeeee!

Bon Voyage

My brother Anim going off to London to study so he will obviously be dearly missed. Yesterday early in the morning we were at the airport to bid him farewell. He did his A Level in Kolej Tuanku Jaafar (KTJ) and now going to further his study to London School of Economics (LSE) under Bank Negara scholarship. Sometimes i get confused with this guy. After committing his brain for the good 5 years of his life in science stream class and got a good SPM result he changed his mind to further study in accounting+finance+economics whateverr just to be in one of the top university in the heart of London. Gah. I would rather memorize thousands of law cases rather than to study numbers in accounts and economics even I got A one for economics in SPM..Oh forgot my Math result was sucks.haha. But thinking that he's going to be bonded and work with Bank Negara I guess its not a silly choice after all, BNM pays really well, salary and bonus. Is it? This guy is such a nerd so i feel confident he will survive in LSE eventually.

melantak banana choc SR takut x dpt rasa kat sana dah..huhuh..

his KTJ juniors semangat datang hantar..

everything checked!

ok babai..

As happy as we are seeing him furhering his studies, we are worried about his well being there. I hope he can catch up with the life there fast and easy.

So Anim, good luck in your study and dont play2 and remember for God sake the scholarship offered by BNM is our money too.Please use the DSLR that Abah bought wisely i.e. taking pictures of any good bargain handbags since u're going to be my new shopper ...haha. Remember Allah is watching u and please study extra hard. Ada rezeki kitorang datang melawat.

has landed London safely..siap sambut ngan banner..

* Oh, Selamat Hari Malaysia (belated)...

Post raya 2011...

2011-09-08T13:12:00.002+08:00

Nothing much to update on. Wow time sure does fly in a jiffy when u're in your best mood. Suddenly Ramadhan is over, raya holiday was like a dream and now u're at the office, back to reality with files and bosses chasing your butt.. But true, I still wanna enjoy my raya holiday. I dunno while I hate office so much these days, negative aura here and there, 3 days of working after raya holiday is like 3 weeks already. I wanted to resign and become a housewife , taking care of Hana. But thinking that I don't have extra talent like making fancy cupcakes or sewing for extra side income, better put that daydream aside. hahah. duh,cant wait for weekend.

Still in the month of Syawal, its never too late to wish everyone who stumble upon this blog Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin. Overall I had great time spending raya be it at in laws (first n 2nd raya) and at parents house the following days. It was awesome since this is my first raya as a mommy!Raya was truly much much fun with Hana around, excited to doll her up, guess raya holidays were too short she didn't manage to get fashion up with all her new raya outfit. Its ok then, raya kan sebulan.;p

random pic..

First raya 'bertiga'.

Hana Sofea in her first baju kurung..control ayu

alamak nampak nappy, hilang ayu dah..

I wish i was a kid, so I can collect packets money like a cashier machine. Jealous.

Never get tired of raya dishes. Thinking where to go for raya this weekend.

Fasting...

2011-08-01T13:00:00.000+08:00

Hows your fasting today?Mine is pretty much under control besides worrying too much that it will deplete my milk supply for Hana. Yups i am very concern about doing this whilst I am still exclusively breastfeeding..I have read numerous articles mentioning that nursing while fasting somehow will not only affect the quantity but also the quality of the breast milk. Hana's turning 6 month old this month and I'm about to start giving her solid so she has other eating option besides milk especially during this fasting month. So there's other alternatives, there is no reasonable excuse not to fast although breastfeed women have that special permission during Ramadhan..hehe.

I think as long as I don't skip sahur and drink plenty of water I'll be fine.;)

So happy fasting everyone and let's make the best of it since we've been given another opportunity by Him to experience this again.

Feasting your eyes on the first Ramadhan with this delicious red velvet I ordered from Yantie. She baked the yummiest RV that really suits my tastebud at least..;p *salivating already*

RV anyone??

Terdapat 58 balasan pahala untuk wanita dan 3 di antaranya ialah:

1) " Wanita yang memberi minum susu kepada anaknya dari badannya (susu badan) akan mendapat satu pahala dari tiap - tiap titik susu yang diberikannya."

2) "Jika wanita menyusui anaknya sehingga 2 1/2 tahun maka malaikat-malaikat di langit akan khabarkan berita bahawa syurga wajib baginya."

3) "Jika wanita memberi susu badan kepada anaknya yang menangis Allah akan memberi pahala satu tahun solat & puasa"

^_^v

On snacks you'd love to try...

2011-07-21T10:00:00.005+08:00

A little update so the blog doesn't turn dusty. I've to attend three days conference at PICC presented by the people from the World Bank which is definitely not my stuff. Very international, very economics, with data,statistics and maths. Erk. Thank God today is the last day and I guess my brain already went stale. (*_*)..

I need a happy snacks to keep me sane.

Sis in law just returned from S'pore and came knocking at the door at 1 o'clock this morning to pass this...

A bag full of Caramel Crisp Garrett popcorn that everyone was fussing about..

Still fresh. Just can't stop popping 'em into your mouth. Sweet luscious caramelized and crispy...

Like Oprah said, it's the best popcorn on the planet! LOL.

There you go, my pre-Ramadhan post...

Sham's Party..

2011-07-06T13:30:00.006+08:00

My colleague a.k.a bestmate, Sham turns ancient recently. 30 is seriously a freaky number. I thought last year's birthday celebration is enough, this year she did it again...Last Sunday she hosted her birthday party again at RACTAR. The theme was orange and white. It was a chill, laugh and eat weekend we forgot the next day is Monday. A day of small and simple joys with the orphans, friends, husband and little Hana tagged along..

with the bday girl..

2 moms, 1 single lady and a newly wed...girls always be girls-_-

Sham's holding the youngest orphan at RACTAR. Poor baby, she's only 5 month old..

Thank God Hana wasn't cranky at all despite the hot weather...

I wanted to give Sham this mug customized by Kak Emi as a little birthday present at the first place...

Unfortunately due to the careless handling by Pos Laju, it didn't come intact and I had to cancel it! Was so frustrated and so did Kak Emi. She did blog about it here.

And now I owe her another present and scratching my head on what to give her.

Boss...

2011-07-01T23:35:00.005+08:00

Our big boss or should I say the most powerful person in the office was leaving yesterday. Before joining our department, she already retired and eventually got offered to be the Director General for another good 3 years on contract basis. Frankly, this is the least favourite person in the office, you know, boss will always be boss. Being bossy all around, shouting, throwing tantrums and so on. Whenever anyone of us gets scolded in her room or during meetings, we were just making fun out of it and never took anything to heart because she is the boss and ~~she's old, we must respect the elder~~ she did what the boss should do. The weather will be gloomy when she’s around and the moment she entered the office will go silent. Nah ,I lied. She’s strict and firm with the staff and there times we were annoyed by her antics, but at the end, she would be the person that we look up to for advice regarding work and sometimes on personal matters.

We used to count the day when she’ll be leaving the office for good. And the day somehow arrived yesterday. So the office threw her a surprise farewell. I’m not sure whether this is a farewell party or literally a party to “celebrate” her departure because the meeting room suddenly was full of blue and white balloons.

the least we cld do is to wear blue and white for the farewell..;p

sorry for the face 'pixelating'.

My jaw dropped when she mentioned her plan after retiring. She's going to do chambering. I mean seriously, at 59 years old??!! She must be kidding. She'll be the 'bossiest' chambee student ever..haha. But there’s no limit in learning and I hope she’ll finish it until called to the Bar.

New big boss coming in and it’s time to test the water. I hate this part.I can smell death, need my life jacket then.Duh. The rest can wait but let's just enjoy the weekend first...

Shopping Diet

2011-06-29T09:03:00.011+08:00

So the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival(MMSC) is back again. What a relief that I' haven't "terjebak" with the mega carnival thingy yet and spend money buying unnecessary things .I always end up buying things that I don't really want or need at the first place. Since MMSC started I think I just bought one top for myself and some stuff from Mothercare for my sis in law's newborn though it's killing me to grab some rompers or cute shirts for Hana. (Mothercare is on sale now!!). Ok.Must. keep. that way.

Unfortunately I guess I cannot stop. Yes I can control myself from buying things in physical stores but not virtually. When typing this, I find myself browsing online shopping websites and clicking the add to cart button while doing mental calculation of the total amount in my head. Not to mention the parcel I received almost everyday at the office. I can self claim that I have bad online shopping addiction! Even Facebook becomes the medium that triggers shopping now. Plus it becomes worse when Hana born since I keep checking out baby stuffs and bought them online. I become hooked and obsessed to it .I cant even take my hands off the keyboard browsing the online stores while doing my routine milk pumping session for Hana at 3 am in the morning. I dunno, but even there are so many forms to fill out and clicking, you still proceed to buy the items. Once u pop, u just cannot stop it.

I think I have to be more sensible from now on. I mean starting from today. I have to diet. Here some tips about breaking online shopping addiction found on the net that might be useful:

1. Tell someone that you have an Internet Shopping Addiction. The first thing that you have to do to break any addiction is to admit that you have a problem. You need to admit this out loud to someone else so that you can be held accountable for the problem.( most of my friends said shopping is a therapy, that might not help either)
2. Add up the math. Take a good hard look at your credit card statements, debit card information and PayPal accounts. See how much you’ve spent on online shopping in the past month and the past year. See what you’ve purchased. Getting a good hard look at what you’re spending can make you better understand that this is a serious problem and that you need to get a grip on it. ( my husband used to advise me about this, but I just couldnt do it..)
3. Establish some rules for your online shopping. Most people won’t go cold turkey so you need to set some rules. Create a limit for what you’ll spend each month or limit yourself to only shopping at certain online stores.
4. Figure out a way to enforce those rules. The problem with addiction is that you’ll want to break those rules so you have to find a way to enforce them. Hide all of your credit cards except one with a limit that is lower than your monthly budget or block yourself from certain sites using computer blocking technology.( err I still have maybank2u, so how?)
5. Delete all of your favorite shopping sites from your favorites. Make it harder for yourself to visit the sites where you spend the most money.( I cant, I have hundreds or thousands of online websites bookmarked on the PC!!)
6. Use the Angry Email rule. We all know that we shouldn’t send impulsive angry emails to our bosses or our children’s teachers because we usually don’t mean what we say. Most of us take a breather and wait before composing potentially dangerous emails. Get in the same habit with online shopping. Walk away from the computer and consider your purchase.
7. Get out of the house. The more that you’re home, the more that you’ll be online. The more that you’re online, the more likely it is that you’ll shop online. Get away from home, go get some exercise and don’t spend that money.( but i also do online shopping during office hours.)
8. Implement tools for saving money online. You probably aren’t going to give up all Internet shopping so you need to start getting in the habit of using smart online shopping tools like discount codes, comparison shopping and good auction sites. Be careful, though, because it can be easy to worsen your addiction with mis-use of these things.
9. Assess your spending. This isn’t fun but it’ll give you a good understanding of why you have this addiction in the first place. Look closely at when you shop and why. Many people shop because they get an emotional thrill out of it or they’re getting revenge against a partner by spending money. Address the underlying issues surrounding your Internet Shopping Addiction.
10. Get professional help. If you can’t get your Internet Shopping Addiction under control then it may be time to get professional help from a support group or counselor.

Yeah,but i dont think the tips work for me.. Help!

On hair issue...

2011-06-06T13:00:00.005+08:00

I started to notice that my hair has been falling out more than usual after giving birth. There were strands on the floor, on the pillow or bed, in the shower and even around Hana's fingers and neck or sometimes on her lips, she might eat it, it freaks me out. I have read that post pregnancy hair loss is perfectly normal but i never thought it could be this worse. Yeah, it's not that i didn't experience hair fall before but mine weren't just strands, they were clumps and i hate to collect them out of the bathroom drain, picking them from the comb etc.

Without second thought I decided to have my hair cut. Short and no turning back. Since this hair fall issue really annoyed me, last Friday during lunch hour I made my way to Alamanda. I love Friday because the lunch hour is longer than usual, 12.15 to 2.45pm. Thanks to Friday prayer, we ladies can have more time to chill out. Heh. I used to go to Jantzen before, but it was packed I decided to try Hairven. I think it was better than the former and wayy comfortable because they got private room for ladies and no extra charge for it.

And so I had my hair cut short, not too short but short enough to the extend of not being able to tie my hair. Nevermind, it a lot easier cos i wear tudung and I 'm sure my hair eventually grow back. It took a bit of getting used to, tho hair loss is still a problem, but as long as it decreased the volume of falling hair, i'm happy with the result.

If it still haunting me, i'll opt for bald head...

babies, they are free from hair fall problem and still look good with bald head..

Anyone happen to face the same problem, u can read about postpartum hair loss here.

Little Update...

2011-05-24T09:26:00.018+08:00

For quite sometime after my last entry ( Wordless Wednesday can be considered an entry,no) I didn’t feel like saying, share or express anything. Finally have time to sit down and update my little blog. Having a baby with a cough and runny nose is heartbreaking. My baby Hana got this some sort of dry cough and her incessant cough wakes her up every few minutes in a wee hour. She will cry and cough for a bit, then settle back down, only to wake up again coughing. Even after I breastfed her, everything would just come out again and we had to deal with fountains of vomit especially during the night. I tried everything to make her feel comfortable. She does not have a fever but a blocking nose and really hate it everytime hubby use that big suction bulb to get rid of the congested nostrils.

We took her to Annur Specialist on Friday to see the baby doctor and was given 3 prescriptions for cough and runny nose. Poor little Hana had to taste the yucky medicine, but no, I didnt gave her all the prescriptions. I am too worried that the medicine might harm my 3 month old baby. I dont really blame the erratic weather but possibly the apparent reason is she got it from the babysitter's house. The babysitter has a 6 month old baby with runny nose, she babysit Hana and surprisingly she took another 3 month old baby. I don't think she can handle 3 babies at one time though she try to convince me so, I'm gonna change Hana's baby sitter next month. Someone who doesn't have little baby.Yeah, I'm a fussy mother.

Pictorial update..hehe. Last Sunday I attended my cousin's son aqiqah, baby Adam Faris .My cousin's Kak ya was blessed with baby boy. Finally a boy after two girls. Some of the pics:

pretty decorated cradle

TODAY...

2011-04-22T16:27:00.005+08:00

So today i turned 28...

Yeah i no longer care. At least I believe it is 28. Twenty seven was a good year, and hopefully twenty eight would be much2 better. I keep telling myself as long as i still in my twenties and the big 3,0 is still 2 years away ,I think im ok with it. I can pretend not to notice. As i grow older or should I say mature (heh) to me, whenever a birthday rolled around is a HUGE reminder of the goodness of God, that He's giving me chance to live up until this point, to get married, to have a baby and to be a mommy. As long as I still have my wonderful family and great bunch of friends all around I guess getting older is not a big deal. And with the presence of our little extension earlier this year my 28 years of life will definitely be much more colourful and challenging in a good way of cos. i'm glad to say she's now the reason that i keep on willing to learn and unfold myself into the best self that I can.

Thank God today is Friday, have a great weekend peeps..:)

Confinement Craving...

2011-03-24T16:20:00.005+08:00

My 44 days of confinement period finally over..i'm freeee now..Well tho i didnt religiously followed the strict confinement period, pantang is still pantang. So yes, to celebrate it i decided to reward myself with something sweet. I have sweet tooth and i want to eat thing that I craved during confinement period..a macaron!. No not macaroni, macaron..;) The first time I ate these sweeties was at The Whisk@Empire sometime ago. But after tasting those to die for Laduree's macarons bought by a friend's sister before giving birth, i'm craving for more. The taste was so heavenly i wanted to pass out when i first sank my teeth on it.haha, exaggerating. Still in my hometown finishing my confinement period and of cos it is impossible to get macaron here unless u're really enthusiastic to dig for the recipe and do it on your own.

So the hunting began. I googled baking blogs that sell macarons and in my quest i successfully found it. I love internet(*wink) and immediately emailed the owner . The best part is that they can courier the macarons right to your doorstep. And I got them this morning..;)

Love the colours, they look particularly appealing.

The verdict? Yummy, the texture and the filling were just perfect and I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too sweet at least for me..;) For the flavors I chose Chocolate ganache,peanut, Dulce de leche and Mocca Buttercream. My parents tasted the macaron, it was good but sinfully sweet to their likings that can increase their sugar level,hehe.. Glancing at Hana, no she doesnt eat macarons, she just crazy over breast milk, I think she don't even bother if i finish the whole box myself...hehe. But not too worry, i did not eat them all in one day..

dulce de leche is my favourite flavor...

I came to know that Harrods,KLCC also sell macarons but since now i live in Putrajaya, KLCC is just too far to my reach.huhu. So if u tempted to try without having the hassle to get them outside and can wait, u can have them delivered to your house by contacting Cik Min..;)

the homemade macarons...

*Just realize Cik Min dok Bentongje, on the way ke rumah mak mertua saje..hehe.Will definitely order some more in the future.

Wordless Wednesday- "Cukur Jambul"

2011-03-23T09:00:00.004+08:00

Joining the bandwagon of Wordless Wednesday. At least there's something to post when i have nothing to put into words or coherent sentences. More than a photo wont do any harm rite..;p

Birth story...

2011-03-01T11:52:00.016+08:00

Hi. I really wanna blog but I just cannot find the time to do so. My life is now pretty much occupied with more exciting stuff. Yup our little bundle of joy is finally here..! Have i told u its a girl? She was born on 8th February 2011 @ 9.45 pm. Induced at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Her name is HANA SOFEA. Hana means happiness,bliss. Or flower in Japanese and Sofea means pure or wisdom.

I think I better briefly blog down my labour story first of all, while Hana is asleep or before I start to forget it. As you know I went for induce labour. Although most birth begin naturally and it's usually best to let nature take its course, but sometimes the birth process may need a little help if the risks of prolonging your pregnancy are more serious than the risks of delivering your baby straight away. (source : i read somewhere about induce labour)

So in my case, since i had an IUD case during my first pregnancy, I was advised to be induced at 38 weeks. At the given date, 7th February 2011 we got to the hospital then went for the ward registration. Checked myself in, it felt more like I was going for a check in a hotel than going to pop out a baby into the world. I’ve been told by the doc that they will start the induction process the next morning. I was pretty relaxed and the waiting game began.

8th February 2011- exactly about 6.30 am, the doctor inserted a tablet, pessary or gel containing prostaglandin to help stimulate the uterine contractions. However I didnt feel any contractions for the next 6 hours and can happily eating and chatting with hubby and family in laws. In the meantime the nurse kept coming in to check on the baby's heart beat and my contraction on the CTG machine. The doc was pretty amazed I didnt feel any contractions yet and at 2 pm i was given the second prostaglandin. She even helped me opening the cervix to 2cm. The contractions started to build up a bit by 3pm but it was still bearable. The biggest mistake i’ve done is i drank the "air selusuh" that MIL gave too early and it made the contractions went stronger but not the opening of my cervix. Haha. U should drink it when u’re about to deliver. At this moment i tried to read every single doa that i had memorised while hubby recited Surah Yassin from his phone. We even walked around the ward to ease the pain.

The contractions grew stronger i couldn't even bother to eat my dinner. At about 7 pm, the doctor decided to break my waterbag to speed things up and i was then pushed to the labour room downstair. As I entered the labour room, I was again being monitored with the CTG thingy and everytime the contractions came i kept telling myself ‘its all in your mind’ though i knew it didn’t help at all.Hehe.The pain was unbearable! The midwife gave me the ethonox gas and showed me how to use it if I needed to. You're supposed to breathe in throughout the contractions. I tried to give it a go, but I found that it didn't really help, just made me feel high and dizzy and wanna puke. Hubby was there all the time, and to my surprise I threw up everytime the major contractions came while hubby hold the plastic bag and massaging my back. The doctor came in and checked my dilation progress. 5cm. ..I was only 5cm dilated! What???after all of that pain, only 5cm??? The doctor asked me to try pushing slowly, like practising pushing and said i was doing well. Then the midwife told hubby to take the air selusuh. Hubby went upstairs to get the "air selusuh" and after drinking the water, I felt the urge of pushing so bad. It was like a magic when the midwife said I am fully dilated and can push now.

I can remember i told hubby to just stay beside me and dont look down where I’m going to push the baby.haha. i still remember that he once said that he’s afraid of the big amount of blood. And the next thing I know, I was pushing and pushing and pushing... and then the baby's head popped out and i can hear her crying. It was the most beautiful moment..Alhamdulillah was all I could think as they placed Hana on me. I survived the normal labour without taking pethidine or epidural. ;) (give a pat on the tummy)

reciting Azan/Qamat to her ears...

1 day old Hana Sofea..

So that's it...that's "not so briefly" about Hana's birth story.. Now that I have my own mini family and all I can say thank u Allah for this gift and really glad He gives me a chance to experience this again in a truly different ambiance.

On Baby Shower...

2011-01-17T13:36:00.023+08:00

Last weekend my colleagues threw me a baby shower. I was hesitated at first when they expressed the intention to organize the baby shower. But they insisted and told me this to show their supports on my second pregnancy. The girls prepared everything, from the food selection till the deco and table arrangement. How sweet, when some of them wore preggy attire.

Date: 15th January 2011
Venue : Equestrian Club, Putrajaya
Theme: Blue and White

was forced to give the opening speech..

The food were awesome. I gobbled everything down till my stomach full.

We played 3 games altogether and i have to be the judge. First, the Baby Words Unscramble. The groups were divided to two, the single group and couple group, the married/engaged couple. They had to unscramble the words of baby's brands, complete the puzzle and of cos the couple group won this game. The second was Guess Me game. They had to guess the name of baby stuff based on the picture showed. It was hilarious when one of them confidently guess the baby bibs as an apron.
Finally the Mom's Circumference game where the guys had to blow up a balloon according to how big they think my belly was. The girls had to put the balloon on their bellies while i checked the correct measurements. The nearest measurement win but none of them got this right.. The losing group had to sing twinkle2 little star. Haha. After all it was fun I laughed so much I felt my tummy aches afterward.

The cute diaper cake for table deco. The talented Shilashower 'baked' it.. U can get one from her..

Milion thanx to my colleagues for organizing such an awesome baby shower that i'll cherish and remember forever.

Baby stuff..

2011-01-05T11:06:00.022+08:00

It still awkward to type letter "2011" on any documents relating to work. I'm still adjusting my mind that we are now cruising into 2011 and sooner i'm gonna get use to it...

What we did on the first day of 2011. We went for the so called final shopping spree for baby (did i say final? But i still continuing my online shopping habit for the baby) ..haha. I got hoard of baby stuff in my office locker resulting from online shopping and haven't bring them back home yet . I think baby shopping is much more exciting than shopping for self now. Just adding up certain thing that I don't get to buy during my first pregnancy. Positive, remember?. So we went to IOI Mall since the initial plan was only to get the Medela breast pump at the Stroller World. But the Stroller World offers so many things that are soo irresistible. So ended up buying this:

pic from littlewhiz.com

We bought this Medela Mini Electric Breastpump which comes in package: the cooler kit, bottles, nipple cream and breast pump bag. Hoping that the milk flows well so that I can fully utilise this thing.

What's the point of going to Stroller World without buying the stroller. So after a prompt discussion with hubby, he insisted to buy the stroller since we dont have to think about it later on. Beli je terus senang. Although I love Maclaren but stroller is indeed a guy's thing so I let hubby choose. So he chose this CYBEX Callisto stroller since it's more user friendly and easy to handle. He just fell in love with the aluminium rims and how the stroller is easy to maneuver with one hand handle and plus it comes with bumper bar. Well he manage to convince me to agree on this over Maclaren..haha. The CYBEX Callisto looks like this:

Sarah Jessica Parker got herself Cybex Callisto too, but ours is in purple..

Finally we bought a white baby cot that comes together with BumbleBee crib set and the Getha latex baby mattress which is worth it.

checking everything intact before making the purchase...

Overall I'm satisfied with what we got so far. It clears up my mind a little despite being super anxious about this second pregnancy since the firsthand experience of giving birth always clouding my mind a bit. I'm hoping that God see this effort in order to bring the best for the baby and silently pray He let us have our bundle of joy for this time. Yups.

Went to hospital yesterday and met the O&G specialist. I was told that they will make me deliver by hook or by crook during my 38 weeks of pregnancy since I've IUD history. Was quite surprise since that means its wayyy early than the expected due date. Hopefully everything will be fine and i get through this journey safely...

On Anniversary and Little One..

2010-12-20T14:11:00.005+08:00

Today marks the second year of our marriage. I cant believe how time flies and we've reach the 2nd year milestone together as husband and wife. It seems like just yesterday we were walking , holding hands in front of people on our wedding day,with those pinkish dress and baju melayu... I'm grateful to Allah for the blessings that He showers us along the way of our marriage...

We usually exchange gifts on the anniversary. He already bought me an early anniversary pressie like 3 weeks ago but I haven't get anything for him yet. Petang ni sajelah..or instead just wait for another 2 months or less and I'll present him the little one that still growing inside me (if God willing)... Ok that's not fair...

Talking about the little one in the bump, i notice I haven't talk much about this stuff on the blog. Shall put a new label for this one, pregnancy2, so it doesn't mix up with my first pregnancy memories with lil angel. I'm heading my 31st weeks this week, so last Saturday we decided to have our first detail 3D/4D scan at the clinic. 3D/4D ultrasound will definitely give a much clearer picture than standard 2D ultrasound...and plus it comes with photos and videos in a CD. But it depends on the amniotic fluid volume. The plenty of fluid u have, the clearer and better shots u get.The sonographer did every detail scan, from head to toe and Alhamdulillah everything is fine. We had a hard time to have a peek on his/her full face since the baby kept closing the face with his/her arms. Like this:

dont disturb me..i'm trying to sleep okayy... (see,both hands covering the face)

The sonographer asked me to turn my body to the other side for better view while hubby urged me to poke and shake the tummy so the baby will move his/her hands. But he/she was pretty much asleep most of the time and just move his/her hands once in a while.The more we moved him/her around, the more he/she covered the face.

ok..i put one hand down now..

So I can conclude that he/she is one shy baby then..or maybe because of a plate of nasi lemak that I ate just before the scanning that makes the baby feels so comfortable sleeping in his/her own little world..

We have been confirmed about the baby's gender, but will not reveal it just yet but all i can say that shopping is going to be a whole new world of fun now despite of having all the baby stuffs during the first pregnancy...hehe...

In the meantime i will always keep the positive vibe in me and praying for the well-being of the baby until the arrival in 2 months time..Insya-Allah..

Movies-Magic

2010-11-29T13:11:00.015+08:00

It's been a while since I watched movies in cinema. I think the last was Avatar-3D. So last weekend hubby and I decided to catch up some movies. On friday, after work, we went to watch Rapunzel-Tangled in 3D at 101 Mall since 3D is not available in Alamanda. Rapunzel is about a girl behind 70 feet of magical, golden hair. She's a princess stolen from her parents' castle as a baby, Rapunzel is locked in a hidden tower longing for adventure. I'm sure all of u know this fairy-tale. All I can say Rapunzel was so good, I couldn't bear to miss every second of it even though I felt I wanna go to toilet really badly (the baby keeps pushing my bladder which increase the needs to pee) but managed to held it though. The movie was much funnier than I expected, it was worth every ringgit especially when u watch it in 3D on the couple seat..hehe and you can't go wrong with this one..lots of magic, adventure, humour, great disney songs, and yeah lots of hair too... The voice of Rapunzel was done by Mandy Moore and for the hero, Flynn Rider was done by Zachary Levi ( the actor in Chuck). From what I read before, it is the most expensive animated film as to date. Go watch..

with the cast of Rapunzel. Just ignore the fat bump, it just for temporary period only, I was slimmer than Rapunzel before...;p

We went for a movie as well yesterday..yup, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I've been a HP fan since I read the first book so this movie was the one I was looking for the whole week. Still remember during uni years I could stand in the long queue just to get the copies of HP book at Kinokuniya and was chirping when I got the free wand . I think generally it is the most faithful adaptation of HP series although there are some details that are not included. It's not poorly done like the third movies and even u're not following the books or the first six movies the main plot picks up quickly so u start to understand what's happening. I didn't re-read Deathly Hallows prior to seeing the movie ( no time to do so) so there was a lot that I'd forgotten, but I feel like I was able to approach the story with fresh eyes. I can definitely say that this movie is by far my favorite movie except on the snake part, it looks so real i just shut my eyes. The plot is quite dark and the characters getting matured so there’s a lot of intense and sad fight scenes especially when poor Dobby died..

A smart idea when they decided to make this final book into two separate movies but maybe its better this way, coz if they trash everything in just one movie, so many things would be left out. I just don't one HP to end so soon. Anyway, cant wait for the second part to come out though the wait seems interminable, but I know that the time will fly by.

All n all both movies are worth a watch ..at least for me..

Cow, Crab and Hamster...

2010-11-22T11:54:00.009+08:00

Just got back from the clinic for the check-up routine and the office seems so quiet and peaceful. I guess some of the staffs are still on leave for Hari Raya Korban. 5 days of short break (yes,short) still not enough, spent 3 days at parent in law's house and the balance at my parent's house. I did not able to celebrate it last year since the Eid fell exactly a day after i delivered my little angel and u can guess how gloomy my Eid was.

Oh yes speaking of Hari Raya Korban it was a special one since this time around me and hubby contributed and joined the Korban. After performing the eid prayer and listening to the khutbah about the history of qurban, we waited at the mosque to witness our cow to be slaughtered. Ours was the first, so i managed to witness the qurban event and tried not to get disturbed especially to pity the cow during the slaughtering process. When the cow was about to be sacrified, my mom in law grabbed my hand and asked me to touch the cow and niat “This is my Korban”. Oh well it was quite an experience since it was the first time I touched a cow and saw it up close and personal being sacrificed..hehe. Too bad I didnt bring a camera to capture the whole event.

Alhamdulillah, the Korban went well and hope it will be accepted as we try to get closer to Him. I guess sacrifice is beautiful as it is not only about giving and being unselfish, its about being grateful for what we have.

So I had a pretty relaxed Eid, eating, seeing hubby did the beef cutting, playing Saidina with in laws and yes, like other people our days were full with beefy affairs, ate n ate the beef until I couldn't handle it anymore. We bought 3 kilos of crabbies to my parent's house in order to neutralise the taste buds..

And now, I wonder what to do with the rest of the meat in the fridge..

Talking about sacrifice, I guess this baby also went sacrificing himself..

This is Summer, my sis hamster. He went missing from the cage few days ago and nowhere to be found despite the searching efforts done by the family members . Wherever u're Summer, I hope u rest in peace ... pic from my sis blog.

Let's change it...

2010-11-13T22:01:00.007+08:00

I don't have the mood to update the blog lately..So u know what i do everytime I need something to boost the mood a bit? Yups by changing the blog's layout...haha...So at least this colourful template might lift up my interest on blogging again. Too pink?? Nah, who cares..!! ;p What i like about this new layout is the animated header- the so-called gediks girl who keeps kissing her wedding photo..haha...(no, i dont do that in real life ;p)

Credit to acurose for this one..go check her blog and yups, just like her blog title, she really gonna make your day..:)

And again, i'll be missing the previous template, but definitely will use it again next time...

Tag-Fave song of all time..

2010-10-26T14:28:00.012+08:00

I have such a long list of my fave songs and as tagged by Lily in her blog, I list out 10 favourite songs of all time as far as I can recall..banyak sebenarnya..

1. Kiss me ( Sixpence Non The Richer)-this reminds me of my fave teenage time film.. "She's All That" starring Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook..

2. 25 Minutes-Micheal Learns To Rock- the most depressive song ever..*sob*

3. I will Be- Avril Lavigne ( I love this version of Avril Lavigne compared to Leona Lewis)

4. Take A Bow- Rihanna -love the sarcastic lyric that i guess dedicated to Chris Brown

5. Stay The Same-Joey McIntyre- his first debut after NKOTB- what an inspiring song

6. Celine Dion - Because You Love Me

7. The Day We Find Love-911- remember the band during high school, Lee was such a cutie..;p

8. You And Me- Lifehouse- love,love this song

9. When You're Gone- Avril Lavigne- again..I was such a BIG fan of Avril Lavigne during uni time. Got her cassette collections and her posters hanging on the wall, i miss those times..;p

10. Making Memories of Us-Keith Urban-just love his husky voice and this sweet song ...;D

Those are part of my favourite songs of all time and I hardly listen to music nowadays..Recently, during the first trimester of my pregnancy, hubby bought an ipod Classic..No it's not for me, it's for the baby..He downloaded the whole Quranic verses and want the baby to listen to it since the wife had a hard time to recite the Quran all the time.. and of cos any "lagho" song is restricted.

there..the headphone stucks around the belly..

Watermark..

2010-10-18T13:40:00.008+08:00

I realised that ever since I started blogging, I don't put watermark on any of my personal pics. I think watermark can ruin an image. But lately i found out there are some irresponsible people who actually "steal" my personal pic from this blog even the cow's pic from my previous post..Seriously.. I don't want to disclose which blog and so on ..I'm not a hardcore or loyal blogger since i blogged about personal life whenever i want to, but somehow I think that having a stats is good since it's not only to trace visitors to your blog but also it can tell who has clicked or downloaded pictures from your blog..like this ( the red circle are my bandung trip's pics..):

Why watermark? Watermark is a great way to discourage people from copying photos that you may have on a website. While still allowing the image to be seen, most people will probably not want the picture as it is with the watermark on it. Creating a watermark and placing it on photos that you plan to post on the web will identify them as your own work and discourage people from copying them or claiming them as their own.

Source: http://winwatermark.com

Oh well, though i think by watermarking my pics will "disturb" the pic, but yeah, reluctantly, I've to do it. Just concern that the pics from this blog will be use for bad purposes or intentions. So in the future u'll see all my pics kinda "disturbing" cos i'll be using this watermark,hehe..

For those who has personal pic in your blog, i think it's about time to watermark it.. just to create some awareness..

Syawal 2010...

2010-09-21T23:00:00.008+08:00

Raya mood still on and all around lorr..I still hate the fact that loong raya break is over and now back to normal routine. Pretending to ignore the piling work! Shesh.

This raya it's my turn to celebrate the first day of raya at my hometown. Last year was at hubby's. So i had the chance to taste mom's cooking especially lemang with rendang and kuah kacang. There are my favourites...tho we don't have any real ketupat in the house since none of the family members know how to anyam ketupat, just good in preparing the express ketupat Nona . (Itupun hangus 33 packs pada malam raya since semua orang sibuk main bunga api kat luar or isi duit dalam sampul sampai tak de sape yang tengokkan air yang dah kering!. The result, beli yang lain and rebus balik.huhu) By the way, still managed to taste the real ketupat when we got back to in law's house the second day of raya coz my father in law is good at anyam the ketupat.

We are blessed because my parents and parents in law's house takes only about 1 hour and a half journey away, so going back to PIL's house on the second day of raya and returned to my parent's house on the fifth of raya then to PIL's again on the seventh day like a nomad was not a big hassle.except poor hubby had to do the driving while i was just enjoying my beauty sleep in the car. (hey, i just figure out that i spent more extra days at PIL's house ! tak aci ni!!..)

on the way balik kampung- lembu pun nak beraya...

So my raya was pretty routine, visiting relatives in kampung, testing and commenting the taste of kuih raya in every houses visits, giving duit raya to siblings and smaller cousins, loading the tummy with glorious food and etc. The different is, starting this year we adding another new routine- visiting our baby's grave. We went there only on the third day of raya since the graveyard situated nearby my PIL's house. I noticed there were another two new small graves besides my baby's grave and mom in law said my baby now has new friends. Yups.He got some new companions to play with. I'm hoping that he doesn't forget this mama that carried him for a good 9 months because she always misses him and think about him a lot. Ok, enough talking about my baby before I get too emotional and sentimental.

Many have asked when i want to do my open house, well the answer is my house always open and feel free to come if u want to taste the kuih raya kering only. Hehe...

Syawal is still around so it's never too late to wish Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin from the bottom of my heart..

Ramadhan 22..

2010-09-02T08:35:00.020+08:00

pics from Brotherhood Arts

We have almost reached the end of Ramadhan, Subhanallah...and yesterday on 22nd of Ramadhan hubby has already paid the zakat at Masjid Putrajaya... it easy nowadays rite because the zakat counters open almost everywhere be it in mosques, shopping malls and even in bazaars. So no excuse for not paying zakat aite. have u do your part?

Just a few days before Ramadhan close its curtain (sigh) and this is such a precious opportunity to focus and upgrade our ibadah to the max..hehe..a reminder for self actually..I know praying Tarawikh have never felt more beautiful than having to do it at the mosque almost every single day but I just perform my congregational tarawikh prayers at home with hubby. Sometimes I tend to get dizzy and nausea standing for the long prayers in surau especially if the imam recite the longer verses of Quran. yeah excuses,excuses, but seriously I'm a tad shy to perform prayer sitting at any surau mainly because I think I look all healthy.

For this year, we don't really spend money and go to bazaar Ramadhan so often and guess that's a good thing because usually the food will end up in the trash. Since we' are leaving KL next week for balik kampung, so towards the end of this week I just dig in whatever we have in the fridge and try to finish all the left raw stuffs. Like yesterday we just had this for iftar..

1. ikan bawal sweet sour
2.sayur kangkung belacan
3. telur dadar with cheese and sausage ?? (hubby cooked this but it still edible )
4. 2 karipap goreng segera

see, no bazar ramadhan food..today will try to finish the fresh chicken in the fridge, perhaps simple nasi ayam will do..

What about this weekend..hmm..iftar at MIL's house of cos..

Ramadhan 2010

2010-08-12T15:38:00.006+08:00

How's your fasting today..Mine Alhamdulillah and so far it's not a big deal for me except I just can't wait to snooze in the office everytime the clock strikes 1 pm. That's the time my stomach will grumble and the mind will automatically thinking about food. Not sure whether it's from me or the extra thingy inside the tummy..heh. Honestly I'm truthfully thankful since this year I'll have the opportunity to fast during the whole 30 days of Ramadhan again, hopefully without a miss..Insya-Allah.

I'm hoping that I can embrace all the challenges during this Holy Month, and one of them is cooking for buka puasa. Deciding what to cook (plus for sahur too!) is the other challenging stuff since I have a very limited knowledge in terms of food recipes. teet.. like this morning for sahur we only ate roti arab together with canned chicken curry (forgot the brand, but with the Chef Wan's face on the label..heh). How rajin is that. But trust me for this month I'm trying to cook as frequent as i can and minimise buka puasa outside (give a pat on the shoulder.). I believe the food we eat or cook at home is healthier than the outside food rite..Say no to Ajinomoto..tibe je.

Still not too late to wish everyone out there a Happy Ramadhan. May Allah rewards us with His mercy and forgiveness during this special month..Ameen..

Kurangkan Juadah Banyakkan Ibadah ok..

"Whoever breaks fasting of Ramadhan without having a legitimate excuse or being ill, he cannot make up for that day, even if he undertakes a perpetual fast.”[Al-Bukhaari]

Had such a fabulous weekend. Managed to squeeze in some time to hang out with my uni friends which I haven’t met for ages instead of going to the lame office bowling tournament in Alamanda on the same day. I'm good at giving reasonable excuses and it was counted by the way. Never like bowling since I always have the competency to throw the ball down the drain i.e. tak pandai main pon.. back to meeting with the girls, I think last time I met these bunch of girls was at Lily’s wedding last year and to suffice that long period, she already got a baby..really, how long is that…

Zaza’s getting married somewhere in September and after a thorough and long discussions on FB, we decided to throw her a surprise bachelorette party at Mid Valley..Had a fun makan2 and chitchat at Delicious and to sum up the small gatherings we went for some sing -your -lungs-out session. hehe. It's nice to meet old friends that u knew since matric and catch things up. Don't know when I can meet u girls again..

Just to keep this blog alive I post this..;) Thanx girls for the time.. Hida, yr chocs are undeniably delicious.

Good friends are like stars..You don't always see them, but you know they are always there...

Be thankful..;)

Sorry for the long hiatus blog, n just realised I havent post anything since last May. Oops. Last weekend memang masa dipenuhi dengan aktiviti bersama rakan dan keluarga. Sham, my colleague, invite ke birthday party nya yang ke -29. Apakehal kau Sham dah tuo2 buat birthday party lagi..kata saya dlm hatije..hehe..Mula2 agak berbelah bagi sebab pada hari yang sama ada juga kenduri schoolmate di Pahang. Tapi Sham cakap Birthday ni birthday yang special n mintak sangat close friends hadir. Sham turns 30 tahun next year so she wants her last 20 something birthday to be something that she'll remember throughout her life. Sham plan nak celebrate birthdaynya dengan anak-anak yatim di Rumah Amal Cahaya Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Subang Jaya.(RACTAR). Sham kata this is her effort from her heart. Memang niat nak jamu anak-anak yatim tu makan.I salute u Sham.

Mengenangkan hasrat hati Sham yang suci murni dan tak nak mengecewakan Sham, saya pon setuju. Lagi satu permintaan Sham supaya pakai warna hijau masa birthday nya n terpaksalah saya memakai my least favourite colour itu, n hubby pon sporting..kalau kau buat kaler pink lagi bagos Sham..Another friend Aida cakap, kalau kita usap kepala 40 anak yatim ada berkatnya.So memang ada plan di hati jugakla nak pergi usap kepala anak-anak yatim kat situ..;p Ok here are some photos of the celebration:

Kalau tengok anak-anak yatim di RACTAR ni, Sham kata they have very low self- esteem or level of confidence. Obviously. Memang nampak kegembiraan dorang bila diraikan dengan food, kek dan gula-gula. Bila tengok less-fortunate kids ni ada rasa insaf sebab dorang kena berdikari hidup kat sini tanpa supports from family especially parents.

Tapi one thing for sure, after the visit, I start to feel thankful and appreciate of what I have everyday in my life. Tapi saya lupa pulak pesanan Aida nak usap kepala anak-anak yatim tu. hehe.
Baru prasan penggunaan bahasa rojak dlm entry ini. Abaikan..probably hormon sedang bertukar. I sense the existence of little peanut again in the tummy..hohoho..

Live your life with no regret...

2010-05-27T09:22:00.015+08:00

Wrap up for this month..hehe..

Huaa, time flies when you’re so occupied with just about everything you can think of. I even barely have limited time to update this personal blog since I also owned another active blogshop that requires u to commit to it every single day...phew2..what blogshop??nah... Just doing it for fun for the past beginning of the year, like some people say live what u love..But I am grateful I have a very supportive husband (tq!) who's willing to help especially on doing the posting stuff to the post office, sending me off to pick new stocks from the supplier n etc..but with one condition...treat him to a nice place to eat..hehe, piece of cake, no problemoo..Lol.

Lately my office, read, (*my boss*) is getting nonsense. Instead of the clerk's job to open and close the office, from day one the department exist over umpteenth years ago, now we the officers have to do the same thing in rotation. So now we have a duty roaster who will open the office in the morning and close the office in the evening. vice versa. I mean that's the surprise u get when u work in the govt office.haha.Think my boss is trying to be FAIR and JUSTICE to everyone in the office and that made the clerks 'naik lemak'. Who knows after this the cleaner will complain about her job too and the officers have to do the cleaner's work as well...haha..amboi3x..

I had my hair cut, trimmed and some hair treatment for 3 hours at one salon nearby my house without knowing the person who cut my hair was a sissy or transvestite until 'he' told me so..haha.. trust me 'he' didn't act like one. But when I showed 'him' to my husband the other day, hubby said, "mmg nampak sgt pondan, org laki kenal org laki"..oh ye ke..haha. ε-(´・｀) ﾌ

Quite a number of friends have started asking me when I want to get pregnant again. I reserve that particular question first..U think having a baby is as easy as putting the coins into the vending machine and wallah the stuff come out from the machine in a second. Not a chance..haha..so rilex2 la dulu..

I'm smiling knowing tomorrow (friday) is a public holiday...going back to my beloved hometown and attend some kenduri kawin..

Pindah randah...

2010-04-06T10:23:00.012+08:00

Life has been pretty busy-bee and tiring for the past week since recently, we just moved from our apartment at Precint 9 to the double storey terrace house at Precint 14. When the person from BPH (Bhgn Pengurusan Hartanah Putrajaya) called and offered me the house, i just said ok without any fuss since the rental price is still the same... and plus we don't have to use elevator to level 13 anymore and the considerate part is that the house is super near to our office, Alamanda and....Mydin? Hahhaha...mydin depan rumahje.. And we can accept the company of both sides of our family at the same time. Before this susah sikit sebab bilik ada 3 je...tehehehe...That means more furniture to buy and hubby said that perhaps we can pet a cat (maybe the cutie one that doesn't sh*t in the house).

All our stuff have been moved to the house on Saturday. The best thing is my family came over to lend a hand including my only nephew little Muaz while we went to Nilai for curtain hunting. Luckily the curtains for the whole house can be done within 3 hours, very express and simple ones!. We even celebrated Muaz and my dad's birthday that night.
Anyway, we are starting to get settled and the house is starting to feel like home even there are so many things to do, like re-organizing and unpacking stuffs,clothes, etc. I think it takes a week to unpack my clothes only..banyaknyee..Somehow i felt a bit sad leaving the apartment, though we moved only a few precint away, it is still our first house as a married couple. All the sweet n sour memories and my wifely duty I did here. yikes, cheezy..

All n all we really want to own a house. But still clueless about the ideal location...

Surprisingly i got some emails from the fellow readers who googled about bandung n stumbled upon this blog. They found my previous crap about bandung trip interesting n informative n asking some infos about it especially on the shopping part + Retanata homestay.It made me laugh since I don't think people would read it n found it interesting..like seriously, interesting? Ha-ha..But thanx guys for the emails, glad that I can help u with some basic infos based on my experience .. Enjoy your trip and don't get conned by the sellers...

And apparently hubby is so fond into business kain, he ordered some more kain from the supplier in Bandung. He said target for hari raya...ohh... ok chayok!...

Alahai sudah rindu sama ini budak..Muaz!

Bandung trip...

2010-03-12T11:33:00.019+08:00

I want to speak Indon for this entry but i know only few vocabs...hehe..so in Malay or rojak sajelah..So just bear with it..;)

Ok..here's the summary of our trip. Quite long actually.

Bertolak lebih kurang 8.30pm ke Bandung dan sampai lebih kurang pukul 11 lebih camtulah. Memang prefer tak ikut mana2 pakej sebab boleh suka hati berjalan ikut jadual sendiri. Sampai je kat airport Bandung terus amik 2 buah teksi ke Retanata Homestay. Homestay ni macam Japanese cottage style. Sangat nice and kawasannya nyaman sekali. Ada dua bilik besar dan ruang tamu.Lebih kurang macam nilah bentuknya...

Esoknya di Bandung we all decide nak jalan2 dulu sekitar Jalan Hegarbudhi yang memang dekat sangat dengan our place. Area situ memang berderet factory outlets. Pagi2 lagi after breakfast dah menapak ke beberapa factory outlets(F.O) and memang 'gila lah' tgk baju2 branded lagi murah yang ada kat situ... . F.O yang ada macam Rumah Mode, Mode Plus, Natural, Sisters dan lain-lain, tak blh recall nama dah. Among brands yang ada macam Guess, Zara, Burberry, Hugo, Ralph Lauren, Dockers, Tommy Hillfiger, Armani, Calvin Klein, Mark n Spencer etc, etc, can't list all, too long..Harganya cuma ratusan ribu saja tapi dalam rupiah la, hehe...Then we all gi makan2 kat Restoran Garuda sebelum meneruskan perjalanan naik angkot2 ke Jalan Cihampelas dan Jalan Riau and start balik shopping di beberapa factory outlet kat ctu macam Cascade, Heritage, The Summit sampai malam n singgah makan di Restoran Saripawon yang sedap....

The next day shopping diteruskan ke Pasar Baru. Pasar Baru is a must-visit - all sorts of embroidered clothes, batik, scarves, accessories, telekung, kain lace...you name it. And kat cni terus jadi jakun sekejap sebab tak tahan tengok stuff2 yang cantek2 bangat. With 7 floors filled with great stuff, we spent the whole day there. Kalau ikutkan hati nak beli telekung sulam2 tu banyak2, one for each prayer time ...hehe... My hubby terus beli satu kodi kain kurung dan kebaya sulam. Lebih 20 pasang kot, nak jual kat ofis katanya.Apa-apalah labu.. Lalu saya pun menumpang beberapa pasang kain untuk diri sendiri ke dalam kad kredit beliau...;p Seharian menghabiskan masa di pasar Baru sampai semua kedai kat ctu nak tutup, nak balik, tapi bayang2 my parent in law pun tak nmpak lagi sebab sakan bershopping.

The next day, we all siap2 ke Tangkuban Perahu. Kawasan volcano and memang destinasi wajib pergi la kiranya kalau ke Bandung. Perjalanan ambik masa dalam 45 minit from Bandung and we all pergi dengan pak supir by van. Kawasan volcano memang cantik dan sejuk. From gunung, menapak sejauh lebih kurang 2 km ke Kawah Domas, hot spring area yang panas. Tangkuban Perahu memang indah dan best, cuma yang tak bestnya bila diikut oleh annoying souvenirs sellers yang merayu2 beli souvenirs dorang yang mahalnya berganda2 dari yang ada di bandar Bandung . Balik singgah jap di Jalan Cibaduyut dan Jalan Cibadak sebab my sis in law nak cari door gift for her wedding. Malamnya me, hubby dan sis in law menapak dan meredah hujan ke Rumah Mode sebab tak puas lagi bershopping kat situ.

Then keesokan harinya sebab tak puas berjalan ke Pasar Baru walaupun dah spent satu hari, we all pegi lagi skali ke Pasar baru. Konon final shopping la sebelum balik esoknya. Hajatnya nak beli barang sikitje kali ni tapi memang tershopping over lagi skali.Kalini beli kain cotton and batik serta telekung untuk diri sendiri lagi.hehe...Kalau tak terkenangkan luggage yang akan over weight nanti, pastinya akan menambah beberapa koleksi kain sulam dan kebaya even my mom in law dah pksa2 suruh habiskan je wang rupiah yang berbaki dlm purse..

Esoknya fly back to KL...

6 hari di Bandung memang best sebagai tmpat shopping dan makan2 except bandarnya terlalu macet (sesak) dengan kawasan yang agak kotor. Ramai beggars termasuk kanak2 dan remaja yang akan ikut kita sampai ke dalam angkot2. Biasanya dorang ni akan main gitar dan menyanyi untuk kita dalam angkot2 tu sambil minta duit. Perkataan yang kelakar saya penah dengar ialah bila seat belt dipanggil sebagai sabuk pengaman. What the..??

I'm sooo thankful to be Malaysian ..

I need a perfect getaway...

Got this free fortune cookie when we went out for gadget hunting in Low Yat during Chinese New Year last month. Instead of eat it up i just cracked open the cookie coz I doubt it 'halalness' albeit the HALAL sign on the packaging. But I just love the message inside ..;) It says... “ You will step on the soil of many countries ”...Yela tu...

The last time i went to other country is about 5 years ago when I visited my sister who was studying in the Land of Irish. When I last checked my passport it was all dusty and expired and I had to go to the Immigration to renew it. Have to, since this time around I'm going to make the first move to the nearest neighbour country. Oh, we are going to Bandung for about 6 days tomorrow! We – means me and hubby, my parents in law and my sis in law, five of us. Another extra break and knowing Bandung is famous with shopping haven and factory outlets, all I want to do is some retail therapy and that means shop,shop,shop till I drop..

Haven't pack a single thread of anything coz I do have this tendency of packing last minute . Maybe tonight or tomorrow morning.

Keje bertambah pulak harini, tak tenang nak cuti...isk

Alice Di Alam Fantasi...

2010-02-24T08:44:00.008+08:00

Can't wait to see this movie. Tim Burton always come with his great masterpiece like Edward Scissorshand, Batman, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Sweeney Todd and many others. And this year he'll bring Alice In Wonderland adventures to life and in 3D effects!. Honestly i don't fancy Alice in Wonderland like any other Disney cartoon movies or other Lewis Carroll's tales during my childhood. Simply bcoz the fact that I don't really understand the story-line (cam pening sikit) and quite disappointed when the whole adventures was just a dream! But i still enjoyed it tho.

It is an anticipated movie since Alice in Wonderland somehow brings out the little kid in all of us and as usual Tim Burton will feature his favourite friends and actors, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter alongside Anne Hathaway and a new-comer Mia Wasikowska. And from what i read before, Avril Lavigne's sang the theme song in this movie.Coolness.

Must mark this one in my to-do-list.. hehe. Husband, jgn lupa, kita mesti tengok ini. Dah lama tak tgk movie sejak pantang. And I love the Cheshire cat ( he looks freaky but isn't he adorable?)- kalau wujud in real life ni, rasa nak peluk2 si tembam2 ni..)

Still remember I went to watch Sweeney Todd twice, first round in Sunway after futsal session and second with Sasha and Aliza at Ampang Galaxy. I just looove the songs from the movie.

And the boss just approved my cuti! yay!

Alone at home...

2010-02-21T23:23:00.020+08:00

Alone at home today on Sunday and it sucks... hubby went for BTN since Thursday and he'll be away until tomorrow. And yes, he did left the car at the car park and asked me to drive it just in case I need to buy something to eat. No point at all coz I prefer forcing myself to cook or take a bus rather than driving. I never drive without having someone by my side coz everytime I go behind the wheel I would tremble with nerves and hesitate to push the gas. I think I suffer from some kind of unidentified driving phobia and wishing there's a medicine to overcome this so I can buy a car for myself with confidence..yeps..

I was lucky enough bcoz my parents and siblings came on Friday, at least they were here to keep me company yesterday.

Oh, notice the new layout? I've done some make over to my blog, and I do love it especially the RSS dolly. Credit to Kak Emy for the make overs and able to 'layan' my fussiness.hehe.. Kak Emy is a talented, creative illustrator and graphic designer and I just love all her artworks. She designed cover illustration for most of A.Samad Said's books. If u want to see more of her creative design , u can go and check for her artworks and portfolios here.

I think I had to give the Taman Negara story a missed since I already put some pictures and captions in the facebook..hehe. But it was a blast coz I think i've overcome one of my fear factor, Acrophobia!- that is fear of heights..

I managed to overcome my fear by crossing the 50 metres height and 510 metres long canopy walkway. It was not easy u know,coz I could feel the bridge swings and my knees were shaking and trembling all the way...huhu. If u visit Taman Negara, your journey will not complete until u give this a shot...

the hanging ladder! gayat2..

Temporary...

2010-02-17T16:15:00.017+08:00

Temporarily using this template as a blog skin. I know it's dull ... currently getting someone to do my blog design, but due to inevitable circumstances, the new layout project has to be postponed. Since I really need a XML template for my blog, I consider to use this one at the moment until the blog design project is done. Though I couldn't edit it the way I want, I guess the XML template is more user friendly compared to the old layout. Btw, since it has RSS feed, I can just check for other blog updates from the side link without wasting my time doing blog hopping..hehe.. easy peasy.. Well, should say bye-bye to the old layout. I'm gonna miss it tho..

* went to Taman Negara with family in laws during CNY. Will update stories about it later if rajin...

Teruskan...;)

2010-01-29T13:30:00.018+08:00

Many things happen in the office while I was not around for the past couple months. One of the interesting thing I discover whenever i open the Facebook site on my office PC is the appearance of this page...(click for bigger image)

This reminder always makes me smile. I think it's cool to remind the govt servant but at the same time funny when u still can have an access to it. At first I was quite hesitate to click teruskan ( I feel slight guilty about it) but one of my colleague said..Ala takpe, klik je teruskan and the other staff said..teruskanlah..teruskanlah which reminds me of Agnes Monica song, ..and the word teruskan becomes popular in the office especially everytime they want to have an access to facebook. Well even PM and my dad has facebook.Heh.

I know that many people can find facebook very addictive and the thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in stress . I guess I’m not one of the increasing number of facebook addicts. I don't check facebook or update my status constantly like certain people do. During office hour I just open it in the morning and then just read for any notifications thru e-mail. Frankly, i did sneak time for about 2 or 3 minutes just to reply some friends comments on my status after reading the notifications from e-mail.. hehe. But now since there's an existence of Internet access at home and directly thru phone, clicking to the so called social website is not a must for me during office hour (minus lunch hour of cos..;p). It amazes me how some people spent wee hours on facebook playing games on it or update their facebook status frequently like more than three or four times a day.

It was annoying when you're friend-requested by countless total strangers in order to promote their business or just adding you to increase the number in their friend's lists. And no I don't add my boss in my friend's list. =) ...Sometimes I find facebook is taking over our social activities, I mean real physical activities when u can do the farming or baking cake on facebook.haha.. Another thing u just tag people's name on your wedding card and consider it as done for the sake of invitation. As simple as that. I'm afraid that the tradition of sending wedding card by post will become extinct just like the routine of sending hari raya card during festive season.

Facebook is awesome when u can find your long lost primary school friends or people u haven't seen for ages since u can view everyone's friend lists as soon as you connect with one person. I just happen to spend some time on it but not an addict and so far the most important and relieve thing is that I think I dont ignore my work in favour of facebook.Ceewah.

It looks an essay to me now. Better stop. haha. Btw, my husband doesn't have a facebook account and I think it's better to stay that way...( Biar saya saje yang wakilkan) Hehe..

Just to share with you 10 warning signs that you may be addicted to Facebook (from an e-mail):-

1. Facebook is your home page.

2. You update your status more than twice a day.

3. You have over 500 "friends" half of whom you've never actually met.

4. As soon as you step away from your computer you're on FB on your phone.

5. You are a FB stalker. You qualify as a FB stalker if you :

a) click on someone's profile more than once a day even if they haven't messaged or tagged you in a photo.

b) have dragged and dropped more than 3 FB photos (not from your own profile)

6. You change your profile picture frequently, every week or worst, everyday.

7. You have checked your FB page while reading this article.

8. You clean up your "wall" so it looks like you spend less time on FB.

9. You are a member of more than 10 groups and respond to every event invitation "attending" even if you have no intention of going.

10. You change your relationship status just to mess with people.

So are you a facebook addict?

* planning to go for carpet hunting this weekend. And wilayah is on holiday this Monday and that means another extra break..yippie!!

Update..

2010-01-19T09:10:00.024+08:00

Heya! It's been a while now since my last update. Too lazy to update the blog since I've nothing much to blog about. Few days left before going back to work next week and I've to admit that I'm not ready for it yet. Not ready in the sense of lazy since it's been almost 2 month now of free ride holiday..heh. and plus not ready to answer people questions about how i feel, what happened and etc2...Like yesterday I bumped into my boss and his wife in Alamanda( went there for lunch with hubby to search for jelly gamat and contact lenses for self) he began to ask me about my condition. But when his curious wife asked what happened actually he had to tell everything that I lost my child after 9 months of pregnancy etc. She gave me the console hug and it just made me sad again since I try to move on and forget now. I have to come to realize that I am not a person to be consoled- I like to console myself..yeah,right. Maybe I am just uncomfortable with the attention it brings. I like to lay low when it comes to something emotional in my life.

Well, forget about it. About the confinement period, since I'm a childless mom, I don't have to look after a child so I didn't have a major problem to observe the confinement method like bertungku, berbengkung, strictly pantang, things like that. I am somewhat lucky because I do not feel the urge to eat anything unnecessary (though the temptation still there) during my confinement. Partly because I was soooo in pain at that time.

Like yesterday, I called a traditional masseuse to massage me again though I've already done with the 3 days massaging by a bidan back in my hometown. I still don't feel comfortable with my body so my hubby suggested me to call this lady who can do the post natal massage. She's from Teratak Sri Cendana, a Malay Traditional Therapy Centre in Bangi. The good thing about it is she has a massage service home to home so you don't have to go to her spa centre on your own. She also offered other services like reflexology, facial, tangas, herbs bath, tungku, sauna etc and traditional massage for men (no worries cos her husband will do it). It was actually really relaxing since you have 2 persons to massage you in your own house. She said I'm too small and I need to gain more weight and eat extra supplement and drink milk. She also reminded her assistant to be gentle on me since she's afraid she might break my bone during the massaging. Funny.Ha-ha..Ok, my current weight is 43kgs now so I need to gain like another 3 to 4kgs to get my ideal weight like before my pregnancy. Hey, I can do that.

I actually enjoy the massages more, the long hourly sessions are something that I look forward to and I still have another session with her this Saturday. But the 'sengkak thing' that she wants to do this Saturday is frightening me..I heard some scary stories about it and it's going to be painful..hmm takutnya..

*sengkak- to place your uterus (peranakan) to its original position..

I've been thinking of changing my blog layout. Since the internet connection is quite slow, maybe I will work on it later..

One Year

2009-12-20T10:47:00.002+08:00

20th December 09 - Today is our first celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. Can't believe how time flies and it's already been one year of our marriage.

Today also suppose to be the estimated due date to meet our little angel but I know he's already in the most beautiful place right now and his memories will linger in our heart forever. As I reminiscing about the ups and downs we have had over the year and some misfortune in our lives recently, I can't help but to thank God everyday that he led me to you. I honestly believe that whatever obstacle is put in our path, is never too big to overcome.

May Allah cherish us with an everlasting ♥ and many more years of happiness together.

I ♥ you everyday and each day..

Learning to let go..

2009-12-11T13:41:00.015+08:00

The past few weeks were hard for me after losing my precious angel.I'm posting this entry so my 36 weeks and 3 days memories with my lil angel remains alive and will remember him forever in my heart. Going thru the confinement period without a baby like other mommies is the hardest test given by God in my life but deep inside I know my lil angel was too perfect for this earth and God needed an angel by his side. We are grieving for the loss, but have a strong faith in God and know that all things are in His will and "everything happens for a reason".

24th Nov 09- I went to the clinic for my check-up as usual and was put on the fetal monitor since the nurses had a hard time with keeping my baby's heart beat steady - they thought he was moving around too much. I was then taken to the ultra-sound room but we were not able to hear anything. The doctors (2 doctors at the time) said that they couldn't find or detect my baby's heartbeat. I was immediately transfered to Putrajaya Hospital and deep inside I was hoping that there's glitches with the clinic's ultra sound machine but I knew I was wrong. When the doc informed me n hubby about the news, that my baby has passed away in the tummy though I already knew it in the back of my mind, but to actually hear the confirmation words from the doctor was completely broke my heart.In my mind I kept questioning why God didn't take my baby earlier.Why after almost 9 month of pregnancy when I feel so much attached to the baby and ready to welcome him to the world, He just took him away. I felt empty inside.I was just burst into tears.

The doctor suggested on a regular delivery which is the hardest to do emotionally, but in order for less complications for future pregnancies and deliveries I knew this would be the smartest (and hardest) procedure to take.

25th Nov 09-Wednesday morning, I was given medicine to start the opening of my cervix and at 2 pm I was given the next dose. Around 4pm I began having contractions that became more frequent and painful. I was pushed to the labour room and then gave birth at 7.30pm.

It was truly the hardest experience for me to actually giving birth and after the birth u couldn't hear the baby's crying -the room was just silent.I tried to hold my tears when the doctor showed me my baby. I wanted to memorise every inch of his calm face. He was only 1.9 kgs, definitely beautiful and perfect. When the doctor took him away I could feel tears streaming down my face. We have elected not to have an autopsy on him, but are letting him rest instead though we still have no scientific answer for his departure. Our baby was finally put to rest that night in my family in law's place. It was really devastated for not being able to attend his funeral due to my condition at that moment.I came home a day b4 AidilAdha and it took some time to start the emotional healing process.

There was more love for our little angel that was carried for 36 weeks and 3 days than I can imagine. Although we do not have the answers to our "why" questions, we know that there is a purpose in this strange circle of life. With our faith in God, our strength in each other, and the support from amazing friends and family we know that our grief will pass and we will be able to look back on this event with love and fond memories that we had while our lil angel was growing inside me.

I know God will not burden His servants more than what they can handle. Still remember a friend's note saying, perhaps we are the so-called strong ones to be given this test. But sometimes, even we are not that strong, but we try to be. Obviously God knows and our marriage is capable of handling what He has given to us - only knowing that there are better days ahead and many more blessings that are in store for our lives.

Now that I have given birth to our first son and had laid him to rest I know that hardest days are over. There will not be a day that we do not think of our precious baby, but instead of tears I will look at lil angel as a little boy that brought me n hubby, our families much closer.

I know I built this day up in my head and prepared myself emotionally, but it was a much better day than I thought it would be. I know that I will forever have my baby in my heart. Though it is still hard to talk about, but I know eventually I will be able to tell my angel's story without any tears...

I learnt to let go and redha...

Al-Fatihah...

A Hospital Visit...

2009-11-20T13:59:00.013+08:00

I promised to crap something in the blog at least one entry per month. So before the time lapse since after this we’re going to celebrate AidilAdha, and while waiting for a colleague to buy me Mc Chicken for lunch since I’m so lazy to drag my legs to the café downstairs, I just push away all the files on the table and began to do something relaxing..yay time to blog…

Nak blog apa ye..ohh the first time I’ve been admitted to the ward. Yes, first time in my entire life. The experience was pretty scary. Last Friday morning I felt my stomach tensed up a lil bit I thought it was just a normal feeling when u're over 34 months of pregnancy. I just acted cool and later when I went to the café for breakfast with hubby, the stomach tensed up several times and at this time around it was starting to hurt really bad until I couldn’t think of anything else except just lying down the floor. I didn’t feel the urge to eat anything that morning n after I went back to the office I told my colleague about it n she contemplated me to call husband and just straight away go to the hospital for check up.

The pain was kicking me inside soo bad and when hubby drove me to the hospital I feel the journey is going to be forever. We arrived at the hospital, and I was brought to the labour room for examination. Upon some very uncomfortable check ups (especially when the doctor inserted her fingers in and put some liquid inside, boy it was sickening me! ) i've been told that i am already a centimeter dilated. I was like what?! Seriously I am only in the middle of 34 weeks and the baby must be kidding me. The doctor told me that it is a prime contraction and I need to stay at the labour room while the nurses put strapped around my belly which attached to the noisy thing called CTG or whatsoever to monitor the baby’s heartbeat.

Throughout the process they gave me a jab at the back to reduce the pain of the contraction and double jabs which they said to 'matangkan paru2 baby'. And believe me the second jab which was given at 3 am was super duper painful. To my surprise the doctor said that they are ready for pre-mature labour if the contraction continues and I have to stay overnight in the cold labour room while nurses kept came in and out of the room to check the CTG thingy and gave me some sort of oxygen gas. Hubby was allowed to enter the labour room for few times only and trust me sleeping in the labour room was no fun at all when u have to endure the voices of mommies screaming and gasping between the walls to let go humans off their bellies!

I am thankful enough coz the next day the pain quickly subsided and the contraction reduced to mild (but still 1cm dilated) and I was transferred to the ward for observation. Though I have to stay for another annoying night in the ward, I’m glad that the baby do understands that the time has yet to come for him to pop out. And I feel sorry for my family and family in laws, I think I made them worried and all I can say that the baby just want to have a ‘friendly’ visit to the hospital for 3 days n 2 nights.. =p

And now i am anxiously waiting for the rite time to arrive...+_+"

Mood swings....!

2009-10-15T15:54:00.018+08:00

I'm not in the mood lately. I feel all the negative aura surrounding me and get sick of it.I hate when my boss ask me to do something and claim he/she asked me since I have legal background, so I know better. I hate whenever I'm about to sleep the baby inside kicking my tummy so that I'll change my sleeping position since he feels uncomfortable with it.I hate to see my bloated tummy in the mirror. I hate everything that I love before. My emotion is like a roller-coaster, I have mixed feelings almost about everything and don't know whom should I talk to. No one would listen or understand..I know it's not good so I read some articles about mood swings during pregnancy.They say its common, normal and can happen to even the smiliest of people. Among of the symptoms (especially the mood disorders) include:

• Feeling sad or depressed for more than two weeks
• Having strong anxieties and fears for more than a few days
• Having a decreased interest in usual activities
• Feeling worthless or guilty
• Not being able to sleep but feeling very tired
• Sleeping more than usual but not ever feeling rested
• Not wanting to eat
• Thinking about hurting yourself or your baby or wanting to be dead, or just not here anymore
• Having unexpected physical problems like chest pains or difficulty breathing

Ok, probably bcoz of those extra hormones at the moment, I do experience some of the above symptoms sometimes.I considered it as pregnancy blues.Relief.Hope it will go away soon.

I think one of the best way to overcome it is to shop baby essentials.We almost done with the shopping last week, the itsy-bitsy, basic stuff and only few more things to buy.

Oh, Happy Birthday to dear husband. I always love u to bits..;*

Salam Aidilfitri...

2009-09-17T13:04:00.006+08:00

May every minute of your eid
Be happy warm and bright...
May all your hopes and dreams
Turn 0ut exactly right...

Will be on holiday - balik kampung from tomorrow onwards and be back again on Sept 28th..Waiting patiently staring at the clock before office hour finishes at 5 pm. Already in holiday mood n bloody lazy to work.. Anyway, for those who are driving back to your hometowns, please drive safely and carefully. Have a pleasant break everyone! For those who are staying in KL, enjoy the empty roads!

Forgive me for any apparent or tacit transgressions.Salam Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin...

Kecik?

2009-09-04T15:38:00.018+08:00

Been lazy lately to scribble anything in this blog. Plus the absence of internet connection in our house is the main reason why blogging is not a priority and i seriously try not to blog from the office. Facebook boleh pulak.hehe. Anyway since the internet connection in the office has been upgraded to 1.0 GB, i just squeeze my free time in for blogging.

I'm in my 24++ weeks of pregnancy and I'm quite anxious when some people I met even makcik cleaner said that I have a small belly and they even said I'm going to have a very small baby. Some say “kenapa kecik sangat”? and “dah nampak, tapi lebih kurang je ngan perut i yang tak pregnant ni “, those stuffs, bla bla bla. I still can fit in all my baju kurung (minus the kebaya of cos) when another staff in my office who's also pregnant almost the same time with mine already wears the “uniform” i.e the maternity blouse and her belly is 2 times bigger .woah??I haven't wear any of the uniform that hubby bought and i thought it's not yet necessary since the belly doesn't really fit in the size of my maternity clothes. So far i only wear ordinary blouse that loose down the belly.Anyway, the journey still far and some says the baby inside will growing super fast during 6 months n above of the pregnancy. Just wait n see lah.

Speaking of the baby inside who has been actively kicking and elbowing my tummy, my last month scan has concluded that the baby is going to be a Hero since the 'bird' (as addressed by the doctor) is soo obvious.Hahaha. The lady doctor at Klinik Mesra Sri Kembangan is so mesra and cute u know...highly recommended. I've started purchasing baby essentials since my 3 month pregnant and thank God I only bought neutral colours like blue and yellow (to be safe) for the baby and no pink stuff in the list.Heheh.

Haven't confirm any name yet for the baby but preferably it starts with A ..the real name is open for suggestions..=)

Ramadhan is here again!!

2009-08-20T13:49:00.008+08:00

Blog ini mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan yang semakin hampir. Tahniah kepada yang telah berjaya mengganti puasa dan kepada yang masih tabah berpuasa disaat2 akhir, selamat berbuka puasa diucapkan.;) (sape suruh tak ganti awal2..haha)

Puasa tahun ni mungkin agak mencabar jugakla. Sebab first time berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan sejak berkahwin dan of cos acara yang paling mendebarkan ialah acara memasak untuk bersahur atau berbuka. Biasa belije atau orang lain yang masakkan, tapi tahunni confirm kena masak sendiri.Nervous pasal nak rasa masin tawar dalam masakan sebab tak reti nak agak kalau puasa.(Kalau tak puasa, mesti dekat 10 kali rasa garam masa memasak). Ya ampun..And sangatla berharap puasa tahunni penuh sebab dah takde apa2 pengecualian sebab pregnant.;)

Disarankan supaya tidak berlebihan ketika membelanjakan duit di pasar Ramadhan dan semoga kita dapat menjalani ibadah puasa dengan khusyuk, lebih bersedekah dan membuat amalan-amalan yang diredhai dan diberkati Allah. Insya-Allah.

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W.:

Bulan Rejab Bulan Allah,

Bulan Sya'aban bulanku &

bulan Ramadhan bulan umatku.

Kemuliaan Rejab dengan malam ISRAK MIKRAJnya,

Sya'aban dengan malam NISFUnya

Ramadhan dengan LAILATUL-QADARnya.

Malam awal Rejab mustajab do'anya.

(Dalam Kitab Raudhoh Imam Nawawi)

Selamat Berpuasa Semua Dan Semoga Amalan Kita Diterima Dan Sempurna. Daaa..

*apsal la Man U boleh kalah dekat kelab yang tak pernah dengar nama - Burnley tu. Isk.. >_<

Ka-ching!

2009-07-22T16:07:00.020+08:00

Hi blog. Sorry for being absent for quite a while as I was busy with other stuff. Workloads, files, holidays, checking out websites for baby stuff n mommies, shopping, yada yada. heh. I am quite free for a moment so doing some blogging business during office hour is not a crime. rite. I am just crossing over 17 weeks pregnant, and so far I'm doing pretty fine with it. The good thing is, like normal pregnant lady i still don't have any major headaches or nauseated feelings except I puke everytime i brush my teeth and pee a lot.haha.

Besides i noticed I'm quite a spendthrift lately, i will do some online shopping and get myself some perfumes or eyeing and bidding some bags like nobody business. Is that a sign of being craving or what since 'preggy' used to crave for food. Like last week i have ordered this tote bag online and almost digging my purse for it. And I'm not a big fan of Coach at all.Ouch.

I emailed the seller that I will make the payment after I got back from Langkawi and I am relieved I canceled the order since right after arriving from Langkawi me n husband rushed to Low Yatt to grab ourselves this stuff since we couldn't find any of this in Langkawi with a good price. So Langkawi is not a total duty free land actually.

We planned to buy Nikon D90 at the first place but eventually after being 'poisoned' by the promoter we opted to buy this latest brand new Canon EOS 500D kit and additional macro lens since it's smaller in size, lighter and comes with 15.1 MP sensor.

So there goes my pocket money and after using my sane and prudent consideration I think I let go the bag first at least for this month.hehe..

Well, can't wait to know the gender of the baby ( still early though) since baby stuff are just soo cute to resist! ;)

The Lost Icon..

2009-06-29T08:44:00.008+08:00

Heal the World- MJ

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth crucify its soul

Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

You and for me

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Give me more lovin' than I've ever had
Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not

Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely gettin' mad, I'm so glad I found you
I love bein' around you
You make it easy, it's as easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

There's only one thing to do
Three words for you I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words and that's what I'll do, I love you

Give me more lovin' from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends

Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Best that I've had, I'm so glad that I found you
I love bein' around you
You make it easy, it's as easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

There's only one thing to do
Three words for you I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words and that's what I'll do, I love you
I love you

You make it easy, it's easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

There's only one thing to do
Three words for you I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words and that's what I'll do, I love you
I love you

1, 2, 3, 4
I love you
I love you

RM 464Million aka £80Million Guy..

2009-06-12T14:42:00.011+08:00

Wee..Real, I'm coming!

Manchester United have accepted an £80m ($131.6m or €93.9m) offer from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.

A statement on the United website confirmed that a deal for the 24-year-old should be completed by the end of the month.

The news comes just days after Real clinched the 56 million pounds transfer of Brazilian playmaker Kaka from Italian side AC Milan as they look to compete with arch-rivals Barcelona on the domestic front and such as Manchester United and Chelsea in the Champions League.

In reshaping a squad that looked almost certain to lose Carlos Tevez as well, though the cash from Real Madrid may change that, Ferguson might be able to offer Wayne Rooney a more permanent central striking role and fulfill the promise he has shown on the international stage this season.

The name of Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery is bound to crop up as a potential replacement, although the 27-year-old seems hugely overpriced at the £40m figure being bandied about in some quarters. Wigan's Antonio Valencia has long been touted as a summer signing.

Source: Soccernet

Huh, what an excessive bid, but good for him then. After all Ronaldo was nobody before he came to United. We'll see who might replace him..

Why I Like Man Utd..

2009-06-01T07:43:00.010+08:00

29/5/2009- Hi. nak komen jugak psl perlawanan semalam. Asyik cerita pasal menang je, kalah sekali sekala pun best juge. Seperti yang semua maklum Man U telah kalah di tangan Barca semalam. Memang tak diduga Man U telah kalah tanpa sebarang gol magic yang dibuat oleh Ronaldo, Rooney atau lain2 players.Tapi hakikatnya hanya 2 kelab terbaik dunia sahaja yang akan beraksi di Champion League.Dan yang terbaik itu adalah Man U dan Barcelona. Kelab lain memang tak masuk dalam senarai.hehe. Masa Eto'o menjaringkan gol pertama Barca smlm, saya dah bangun dari sofa pegi iron baju, sidai kain. Jam 3 pagi.hehe.Hubby masih lagi melekat di depan TV. Man U main agak teruk smlm ,nak2 bila dah down dengan jaringan yang dibuat oleh Eto'o. Aksi Ronaldo seme tak menjadi. Free kick melepas begitu saja. Pertahanan pun teruk. Apatah lagi bila Messi menanduk gol kedua..Memang masa tu nampak muka kelat Ronaldo, dan muka redha Alex Ferguson. Puyol hepi sangat, saya tengok dah macam rupa Dee Jangan Ketawa tu.Haha.Malas nak tulis banyak2. Barcelona memang layak menang semalam. Takpe, season lepas Man U dah julang piala Champion League itu, so apa salahnya pas kat kelab yang sama hebat season ni.

Paling best, kelab lain yang memang dah out Champion League pun terlompat2 dengan kekalahan Man U. Mengalahkan penyokong kelab yang menang.haha Dan itu termasuk bos saya sendiri.Itu yang saya suka pasal Man U.Semua orang benci Man U dan bergembira dengan tewasnya 2-0 smlm.Kelab hebat yang paling di anti oleh ramai penyokong kelab lain.Tapi saya tetap suka Man U. Ada jurulatih hebat, barisan pemain yang berkualiti,penyokong yang setia, semua hebatla bak katanya.Season ni sahaja dah banyak piala menang dan layak ke final Champion League.

Pagi tadi Sham bagi cup cakes yang cute ni bagi menyedapkan hati saya sebab kekalahan Man U smlm.Tak sedih pun.Anyway, gracias muchachas..!xoxo.

Walau berganti Jurulatih, walau berganti pemain(mcm Beckham dulu) saya tetappp suka Man U! Dah2, nanti ada yang meluat pulak ngan entri ni.haha.

So glory2 Man United!

Man Utd rulzz!! (mind the old pic. UK-Ireland 2005..)

He or She?

2009-05-19T14:01:00.011+08:00

Finally I got a simple explanation why I’ve been soo lazy to the max throughout the month and discover the true reason for the severe lack of blog updates lately. My guts told me to buy the pregnancy test right before we went to Kuching. It showed up positive. I didn’t tell hubby about it until we got back from Kuching. So when I showed him the 2 red lines appeared on the pregnancy test he insisted me to go and see the doctor for confirmation cos he said he wants to tell the world. Yeah, I said no until I do the second test cos the first one might not accurate.

This has always kinda bothered me, and few days later I figured I'd get one and try again. And once again the two lines appeared. So yesterday I made my way to the clinic and shoved my husband for his meeting cos I don’t want him to be around. After the consulting hour with the doctor, she ushered me to the scanning room since I couldn’t recall when the last time I had my period and the next moment she exclaimed “ahh positive…see the little heartbeat?” The doctor herself was excited; she printed out the scanning result and explained to me what it’s all about: 2 month pregnant and the estimated due date. She gave me some advice about eating method during pregnancy i.e drink lots of water +milk; eat healthy food (that includes vegetables and all which I hated most) and etc. And right after the check up, my husband texted me asking whether it’s a boy or girl. huh? haha

Thank God I don’t have any unusual symptoms so far. Not even a hint of real nausea or serious fatigue or anything. I don’t really get morning sickness, although I did have some stomach uneasiness and intense laziness which has made cooking somewhat difficult. But it is a little disconcerting to not have any symptoms, nothing to make me really feel pregnant.=p (I think God just knows that I’m not strong enough to handle it yet..hehe) Well, it’s only 8 weeks, so I know it’s still super early and anything can happen, I just praying for the best.

I am in fact rather nervous about the whole upcoming months and tips and advice from everyone are mostly welcomed. My colleagues asked me to change my heel from now on and start with flat shoes or sandals. Already take note on that.;)

Please pray that God will protect the baby in the coming months and we will have a healthy baby. For now, I plan to stay happy, no worries and just endure the moment of my tummy getting bigger. Yeps.

Well here's my very first baby scan, taken approximately about 8 weeks n 3 days..just as small as peanut.

The Reds- walk alone out of the Champ League..

2009-04-16T16:47:00.014+08:00

Semalam The Reds berkabung pasal mengingati the dead of Hillsborough disaster di Anfield dan harini dorang berkabung pasal tak qualified ke semi-final utk Champion League pulak. Kesian..Apa nak buat dah bola itu bulat. Penyokong Chelsea jgn rasa puas hati sangat sebab dapat defeat Liverpopoo sebab tak guna score 4 pun kalau bolos 4. hehe.

Aksi Lampard kalau score.asyik mcm ni jela.kurang kreatif..

Man U pulak menang 1-0 ngan Porto semalam dengan agregat 3-2.

Bagus2...kata Rio kepada Ron lepas sumbat sebijik smlm..

Apparently God listen to my prayer. Everything happens for a reason, miraculously.. After the bumper to bumper accident, God eventually sent someone to escort me to go to work everyday. Hehe. Forget Labuan, forget Cyberjaya. My husband is now working in the same building as mine, at the same floor in Level 8, and only doors do us apart. One thing I know for sure is that I cannot skip breakfast or lunch anymore coz he definitely needs somebody to accompany him for that purpose.

All n all I am thankful enough. God loves me..ngeee =D

Pagi yang....

2009-03-27T12:18:00.021+08:00

Disclaimer: Entri ini agak panjang dan bakal menggunakan bahasa separa formal.

Ada yang suruh letak entri pasal accident involves deretan 6 buah kereta di Putrajaya semalam.Termasuk kereta yang saya naik.

Setiap pagi adik ipar akan menghantar saya ke tempat kerja di Kompleks D Putrajaya sebelum ke ofis beliau di Bangi. Pada suatu pagi Khamis yang indah dan ceria, seperti biasa kitorang berdua akan turun jam 7.25 pagi untuk ke ofis. Pagi tu memang rasa malas sangat nak pergi ofis. Biasanya jalan yang menghala ke tempat kerja saya akan jam teruk disebabkan banyak traffic light. Adik ipar tanya saya pulak nak ikut jalan mana. Nak ikut jalan Precint 8 ke Precint 9 memandangkan hari sebelum tu kitorang dah cuba ikut jalan Precint 8 dan tiba awal sket daripada biasa. Saya bagitau dia, hari ni ikut jalan biasalah, Precint 9. Kitorang pun bergelak ketawa di dalam kereta tu sambil mendengar Panggilan Hangit yang di buat oleh Fara Fauzana Hot FM tu. Jalan memang smooth je hari tu memandangkan ianya dikawal baik oleh polis trafik.

Dalam kelicinan perjalanan tersebut, tiba-tiba kereta menjadi perlahan dan kereta depan berhenti dengan tiba-tiba .Adik ipar sempat tekan brek dan kitorang lega la sebab tak langgar kereta Myvi silver di hadapan. “Nasib baik…” saya sempat pandang adik ipar. Tiba –tiba entah macam mana, sebuah kereta Waja menghentam kami dengan kuatnya dari arah belakang. Akibat dentuman itu, Suzuki Swift yang kami naik hentam Myvi silver di depan pulak. Terdengar beberapa hentaman dari belakang, dan sejurus dentuman tersebut berhenti saya menoleh ke belakang. Terdapat 4 buah kereta tersusun rapat di belakang kami.

Masing-masing pucat. Kereta Waja di belakang memang berasap, ada 2 kereta yang hentam Waja tersebut serentak dari belakang- Myvi hitam dan Proton Saga hitam. Belakang kereta Myvi hitam disondol pulak dengan sebuah lagi kereta jenis Avanza. 6 kereta semuanya yang terlibat mengikut perkiraan saya.Masing-masing cepat-cepat keluar dari kereta. Pemandu Myvi hitam, perempuan telah keluar dari keretanya sambil menangis-nangis.Begitu juga isteri kepada pemandu kereta Waja. Begitu juga pemandu Myvi silver di depan. Adik ipar saya cool je sambil menghubungi tunangnya. Saya sibuk mengambil gambar kereta2 yang malang tersebut sebagai bukti tambahan di balai polis nanti.haha.

Kete 1- Myvi depan kitorang- sikit je kena ni..

Kete 2- kete yg kitorang naik kena hentam ngan waja kat belakang. So depan blakang K.O

Kete 3-Waja yang langgar belakang kitorang. Kete ni teruk jugak

Kete4- Proton Saga- hentam belakang Waja sebelah kanan

Kete 5- Myvi hitam ni hentam Waja sebelah kiri pulak

Kete 6- Avanza ni tak sempat elak langgar belakang Myvi hitam

Adegan tersebut telah mengakibatkan jam yang teruk atas jambatan menghala ke JPM. Semua nak tengok free show. Nasib ada polis trafik. Mana-mana kereta yang ada hati berhenti tepi jalan untuk tengok, semua disamannya. Beberapa lelaki dari kedai repair kereta tiba-tiba muncul entah dari arah mana untuk menghulurkan khidmat nasihat dan penghantaran ketuk ke kedai mereka. Muka manis je. Cepat je dorang ni tau. Untuk memendekkan cerita, empat kereta yang sememangnya tak boleh bergerak dah terpaksa di tow ke balai polis Putrajaya. Myvi silver dan Swift slow2 je bergerak ke balai polis. Masa buat statement dibalai polis, kitorang telah berjaya membodek polis tersebut untuk tunjukkan CCTV dekat jambatan yang merakamkan kejadian kemalangan tersebut. Polis tu cakap berdasarkan CCTV, Myvi hitam (kereta no 5 yang salah). Huh? Tetapi siasatan masih dijalankan.

So tu je ceritanya. Korang rasa sapa yang salah??

*Entri ini mengingatkan semua supaya jauhkan jarak kereta anda dengan kenderaan di hadapan okehh.. ;)

Risau...

2009-03-25T09:01:00.007+08:00

I am lazing around staring blankly at the words I just typed on my computer screen while munching a tuna sandwich that i bought from a Chinese lady at the cafe this morning. She said its halal. oh whatever.. But the taste sucks. So I resort to blogging, as usual. I am indubitably worried, clueless. My husband got a new job and he is now a pre-government servant albeit the two month notice that need to be served before leaving his current workplace. Ironically he has been placed under the same ministry as I am. So coincidentally my nonsense theories about fate or some sort of karma with your loved one can be slightly related. He has to wait until the end of the month, unpaid and has to compensate with another one month salary to the company..yeah, what a waste, but have to.

Though our job scope is completely different, and not even close to similar and of all ministry that he can be placed to, we are under the same minister?? It somehow serves me with some kind of guilt feeling thinking that he's going to serve this lame ministry any time soon, well maybe in my case only, I feel that way. Enough said. Hope he's not going to be too-sedated government servant type in a typical government atmosphere after this. While keeping my mind thinking of him, my major concern is about his posting since it is still a question mark..tsk.tsk. I keep praying he's not going to be transferred to a secluded land which is going to be ridiculously far from his wife. aaaaa...please God, listen to my prayer.

on the way to his destiny..hehe

Malaysia, don't forget to switch off the light on Saturday, 8.30 pm.. (dunno whether it gives positive impact in decreasing the global warming but it helps to save electricity for at least an hour that for sure!)

It's a BOY!!

2009-03-17T13:36:00.012+08:00

Finally..Kak Lin gave birth to a healthy baby boy two days ago in Hospital Muar where she's currently working at.. The first grandchild in the family and I am officially an Aunty, eh Kakak should have sufficed. Thank God it's not kembar 4. hehe. can't wait to see him already..

I asked my sis how does it feels ...she answered..best beranak..macam gitu-gitu je rasa dia..

gitu2? boleh plak...

shh..i'm sleeping here

Forgot to ask his name...duh

*Man U kalah 4-1 to the Kops. Saja kasi peluang kelab lain nak merasa menang sekali sekala..heheh

Woah...

2009-03-12T12:34:00.022+08:00

Meet this boy or should I say the guy again, Anim. It’s been a while since my last entry about him in here and yes he has grown up. Ish, time flies so fast. And now I am posting about his new achievement in his SPM result today. Well Anim got 10A1 !!! yay! solid A1's !! Two thumbs up plus my toes...haha. And that is absolutely outstanding!! ..I used to call you a geek or a nerdy but now I have to admit that u’re undeniably A GENIUS (just exaggerating.hehe)... *u deserve a standing ovation from me* (walaupun tak nampak.;))

Before the result coming out , Anim is already in Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) and he really want to kick himself out of that uni. He always dreamed to continue his study abroad and now with that result I believe he can pursue his dream anywhere he wished for. God willing, Insya-Allah.

Opps..almost forgot, my sis in law Syidah also got 8A 1B out of 9 subjects in her SPM. Not bad at all. so double joyy..;)

* pic has been cropped since it contains indecent image..;p

Saya yang tension..

2009-03-11T11:04:00.006+08:00

Saya tengah tension dengan boss saya. Saya draf surat untuk approval dia dan dia amend.., ok lagi. saya amend surat tu sikit dan bagi dia untuk sign, dia amend lagi. Sekarang dah dekat 8 kali amendment dari bulan lepas lagi dan dia tak sedar yang dia sebenarnya amend surat dia sendiri yang telah dia amended. Saya sungguh tak paham. Bos saya ni ibarat tikus membaiki labu la jugak. Mungkin surat itu akan jadi perfect pada tahun hadapan, saya pun tak tau.

Kepada Ayu, sila letak ruang comment dalam template baru anda. Senang aku nak komen. Comment boleh didapati di Haloscan.

To Zaza, silala update blog yang dah bersawang tu. hehe. To Syitah, Zaza suruh invite dia skali kat zatulitri_yusof@gmail.com. harap maklum.

Itu saja.

Baby...

2009-03-03T13:25:00.010+08:00

My sister is expecting her first baby somewhere around the middle of the month. My mom texted me this short message that i received early in the morning :

New Born. DOB: 2 MAC. TOB: 4.50pm. Kembar 4.

I was shocked, my brain focusing on my sister cuddling four babies in her arms and promptly called my mom.

Me: Umi, Kak Lin dah dapat baby ke? Kembar..biar betul.

Umi: (Just crack a laugh over the phone).

Me: Abis tu sape?

Umi: Baby la..

Me: Laa!!

Baby is my cat. Yeah, she just gave birth to four kitten. Four kitten. Shesh, mak akuni. Suspen je...

Bagos2..

2009-03-02T08:33:00.005+08:00

Though i didn't watch it due to the non-existence of Astro(yet) in our house, but the pics says it all. The Carling Cup is ours!!!Yahooooo...!!

*United outgun Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on penalties to win in the Carling Cup Final after a 0-0 draw in extra-time.

Extra careful..

2009-02-25T11:56:00.013+08:00

I got this email last Monday..I'm kind of worried that my account might be suspended for not replying this email within 24 hours so I immediately called Maybank and asked whether they will send this kind of email to customers. The Maybank officer asked me to delete the email and never respond to any email from maybank2u. They look real when they ask for our TAC number but actually this is their tactics to hijack your Maybank2U account details. Maybank will never ask for any verification or notification thru email. Be careful when u receive any e-mail like this:

----- Original Message -----
From Maybank Online Banking
Date Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:30:10 +0200
Subject Dear member maybank2u,

Dear maybank2u customer,

We are hereby notifying you that we've recently suffered a DDos-Attack on one of our's Internet Banking server. For security reasons you must complete the next steps to verify the integrity of your maybank2u account. If you fail to complete the verification in the next 24 hours your account will be suspended.

Here's how to get started:

1. Log in to maybank2u online account (click here)

2. You must request for TAC online via maybank2u - your TAC will be sent via SMS to the mobile phone number you registered at the ATM.
( you can find the "request a TAC" button in the right menu of your account "Utilities" )

3. Logout from your account and close the browser.

4. When you have received the TAC (Transaction Authorization Code) on your mobile phone, Log in to our secured verification server and submit the requested information(Account user ID, password and TAC).CLICK HERE to go on our secured server.

5. Please allow 48 hours for processing.

Please comply and thanks for understanding

There are fraudsters who keep sending this type of fraudulent e-mail into your Yahoo! mailbox. and they even bought a domain name similar to Maybank2U’s.

So, when you receive e-mails like this :

1. Don’t ever trust those e-mails asking you to login from the link they provided.
2. Access to the website of your bank by typing in the URL directly.
3. Most common frauds target login details of PayPal, Google Adsense, Maybank2U and other banking accounts. Many have been conned and their account stripped bare. So watch out for those e-mails, NEVER login via the links they provided.

Just be extra careful and stay conscious when you're online. Check first before you disclose any information and just call the Maybank officer for any inquiries, they are more happy to help you for any clarifications.

Thank God I called the Maybank officer before I log on to that phishing website. Some of us just not aware of this sometimes, just post this as a reminder.. ;-)

New Home and Politikus sucks..!

2009-02-23T16:49:00.016+08:00

First the Perak melodramatic issue, then the photo of Mrs Ely W. which is not censored enough to make her finalize with the decision to resign and next is the MB Selangor's abuse of powers investigation with Lexus car and 46 cows story.. . And now, the so called 'official' MB in Perak and his six “suspended” state executive council members are seeking a second opinion from a Queen’s Counsel (QC) in London on the constitutional impasse in the state. What??!! Get real, please save the air-fare and the rakyat money la for God sake.. The best people to ask here are the people of your own state...So what next?? Haha..politikus suxx..oops..

My new home..since I used to change the blog layout every year and have been wanting a new layout for some time so I decided to use this one for 2009. As politician can jump from a party to another, so can I. Heh, I'm moving to this one from now on so the old one is history.. I guess this layout is non other than...pinkish and girlish as usual.My brain n my eyes couldn't tune to any colours other than pink.Though I like the previous one better since it came with a bigger posting space, it was just getting old and when you are looking at the same layout for a long time you tend to get bored of it. Most of my previous templates are downloaded from blogskins with several editing process but now I just want to have my very own template version. Been working on this for a while, I think i'll stick to this one first and let see whether it is pinky enough to hook me up and to crap more in this blog. Credit to me (hehe..) and Girliebits for the background stripes design...will be missing this one ..tata..

Takziah Lily...

2009-02-12T16:34:00.002+08:00

Just got back from a friend's house, Lily this afternoon. Went to her mom's funeral who passed away peacefully after Isya' last night due to complications in her internal organs.

To Lily, be strong for your sisters and take care ok, I believe that your mom is in a better place now..Insya-Allah..

Al-Fatihah to arwah..

Since semalam merupakan Hari Wilayah, rasa sangat lega sebab hari pertama kerja pada bulan Februari ini terus melompat kepada hari Selasa. Dan Isnin depan cuti lagi sebab Thaipusam pulak.Oh I like awal tahun.banyak cuti.Dan semalam buat furniture hunting dgn hubby, tak sangka beli barang terlebih budget.Peti ais,TV, almari TV,meja makan, washing machine, kettle etc2..wah banyaknya. And one part I like about it Cina tu bagi hutangs.Ambik je semua.3 kali bayar. hutang??...tepuk dahi hubby ku. Nak tergelak pun ada sebab excited main belije in one shot. So beli yang murah2 je dulu and Cina tu tak berjaya induce us untuk beli yang mahal2. Rumah masih belum lagi berlangsir, tapi takpe, langsir lama boleh guna.Slow2 lagi nak fill in everything dalam rumah.

Glad sebab small2 things mcm rice cooker, microwave, DVD,toaster,blender, pinggan mangkuk semua dah tak payah beli, sebab ada yang bagi masa wedding.Thanx.Its quite challenging being a wife, but overall its fun!haha.Banyak benda nak beli, kalau dulu tak pernah terfikir pun nak shopping periuk belanga, pisau n lesung batu tapi skarang semua tu kena skru dalam kepala.Seriously. Especially when it comes to cooking stuff part.Dulu asyik follow umi dari jauh je kalau pegi area barang dapur kat supermarket, tapi skarang kena decide sendiri nak beli apa. Phew.Lucky sebab hubby ringan tulang dan banyak menolong esp bila part potong ikan di dapur yang amat saya geli kan itu. huhu,tak taula sebab apa..

Kepala sakit baca judicial review yang tebalni..Tiba2 rindu sangat nak main futsal..

Kena tag..

2009-01-21T10:15:00.007+08:00

I've been tagged by Hida.(sorry Hida baru nak buat benda ni.)

Though there's a ceasefire and improving situation in Gaza, i will remain boycotting the products.

Here's what we should do. it's simple:
list down 5 of the products from the list below that you are boycotting,
and then list down 5 of the products that you will try your best to boycott,
and finally list another 5 of the products that you find it hard to boycott,
and tag 5 others.

this tag is to get everyone to read the list below carefully and identify which products affects your life and the lives of the Palestinians most! You can also compare your list with your friends and see: if they can boycott one product that you haven't been boycotting, why can't you start to boycott the product too?

5 products i'm boycotting

1. Arsenal Football Club(like forever)
2. Nokia(i'm a Sony Ericsson's phone user now)
3.Maggi( not good for health)
4. Mark & Spencer
5. Make up products (i.e: MAC,Clinique,Revlon, Estee Lauder..not a big fan of them all.)

5 products i will start to boycott:

1. Mc Donalds( dah start boycott)
2. Ambi Pur(Glade kan ada)
3. Starbucks
4. Kotex
5. Coca Cola

5 products that i find hard to boycott

1. Mc Donalds( sgt sedap..)
2. Disney movies (seme disney movies sgt best)
3. Kotex(my monthly favourite brand ni..)
4. Nestle products (mmg susah)
5. Carrefour(ni je tempat shopping paling senang n murah kat Alamanda)

I tag(just tag,kalau rasa relevan nak buat..;))

~Bangga dengan ofis yang baru start buat kutipan kemanusiaan Gaza hari ni..huhu..

Speechless..

2009-01-13T13:10:00.012+08:00

I've long given up reading news or emails and look at photos of deaths whenever it involves the Zionist/Israeli regime killing the Palestinians. I felt physically sick. At least, I'd avoid reading too much in depth about such news. Not that I don't care, but because my heart can't take it anymore, especially since it usually involves deaths of children..I don't even dare to put their death pics in this blog.

There's so much sadness and grief coming from Gaza where children and innocent people are being killed. Many are suffering and until now the number of victims and casualties is increasing. It saddens me even more that as usual, when such things happen, most of us only cursing to those Israeli without really doing anything to help.

My heart bleed and cry and there is this feeling of helplessness. But..to help our Palestinians brothers and sisters in Gaza, let us try and do something by boycotting these products. I am trying not to use these products by any means though it's really hard to do so (I've stopped buying Mc D and Starbucks now) but I think this the least I can do, no matter how small the impact it could make.

(I heard part of the Israeli armies training is to stab and kill life cats mercilessly so they will feel numb when killing people (the Palestenians) ...And that makes me super duper pissed off!!! I'm banning these products seriously for good now..)

Let’s not forget to say a prayer for those who may never see the light of another day. It’s the least we can do. Hope u guys will do so too..

New year,new life..

2008-12-31T13:59:00.023+08:00

New year is approaching again. I can describe 2008 as the most memorable year of my life. Its unpredictable, unforgettable..Its full of surprises.The first part of the year..I was once a lawyer who used to do litigation and my daily routine to courts, suddenly change my job and become a government officer in Putrajaya. And its not in my 2008 planner.

~And the biggest transformation that happened to me is that my status tremendously changed this year...I'm married!!I never thought of it before and its completely not in my 2008 calendar, plus i can't never imagine of getting married (which i initially considered early before) by the end of the year. Oh briefly about the wedding. Words can't describe the happiness and contentment that I felt on that day despite of the cold feet and nervous feeling before the wedding. 20th December 2008 when everyone was busy buzzing about Mawi's wedding, I am officially wedded to my schoolmate who finally open my heart to settle down. I am proud of him because he uttered the lafaz akad in a single shot and also he voluntarily and willingly wear pink on that particular day though its a no-no colour for him. I wore a pink dress which I "don't fancy so much" (the design is not up to my expectation and doesn't compatible with the price) sorry to say though its from B.C designer. 4 days before the wedding and before going back to Pahang I only able to see the whole dress and try it, can u imagine. huhuh.. It comes with not so long train at the back (which i intent to cut it off before but i didn't), and still need someone to hold it for me because of the difficulty to walk properly and the victim was my bridesmaid, Zaty.

~Overall, it was a simple wedding but yet personally memorable. I'm glad the hectic is finally over.I would like to thank everyone who've been struggling in preparing everything form the start until the end of the wedding.Thanks to friends who turned up on that day and to my husband's side the following day, also to those who not able to come but still have time to share thoughts by sending wishes thru sms, calls,e-mails and blogs. Really really appreciate it. My deepest apology for any shortcomings during the kenduri and sorry for not being able to spend sufficient time with all of you..

~People say marriage is easy, maintaining it is where the challenge lies, please pray for our happiness and blessings thru out our lives..^-^

~Salam Maal Hijrah and Happy New Year everyone!! May your day ahead filled with prosperous, successful and loving moments with your loved ones...

Monday Mundane..

2008-12-01T16:46:00.024+08:00

Note: craps not worth reading..;)

~Just got back from Cameron Highlands last Saturday. Attended the 4 days 'inspection' course is so tiring since the weather was gloomy and rainy every single day .Dunno whether because of my age or other factors but I found that Cameron is not exciting as it was during my last trip here back in 1999. Unlucky me,I bought packets of strawberries but had to throw all of 'em away coz they only last for 4 days.. And the roses..? Forget about the roses. Most florists I met on the cool land told me they can last for 5 years (serious..) coz the special chemical they put to it but it begin to droop in 5 days. Lesson No 1: U can trust the florists that your flowers can last for 5 years, but only if u stay in Cameron for 5 years. They still fresh in cool air. Lesson No 2: Don't buy strawberries if u not intent to eat it within 4 days. Ok, whatever..

pweety roses in cameron..unfortunately they won't last longer..

~ Yesterday went to the closing of Batik Bazaar in PWTC with Aida. I already ignore the tiredness of traveling back to KL the day before when it comes to 'shopping'. I'm not a big fan of batik but since we have to wear batik every Thursday so need to add some batik stuff in my closet.Bumped into Pak Lah with his Mrs Jane.Hehe. Spent the afternoon, squeezing into the small crowds from one stall to another.Went crazy about those selection of batik materials with average and affordable price but had to limit my purchase when Aida gave me the reminding look that there's other important stuff to shop i.e. hantaran. Ending up, I found myself and Aida at Sogo with a few bags in our hands.

hi Pak Lah! (waving)

~ Before this I’d been keeping a mental note of things I’ve loved at weddings and things that I didn’t like. Whether it’s food choices, decor or colors, timing of the day’s activities,my dream wedding will be based on things I’ve seen work well from weddings I’ve attended in the past. That's my personal, general thought before.But when time getting closer, I rather think that those thoughts are not really relevant anymore. I just want things to be done simple because the inside feeling to finish everything quick and fast is more overwhelming.No headache.But people say u have to enjoy everything from the preparation until the wedding because that is only once in a lifetime experience..really..hmm.. Enough craps, I wish I can have more time to indulge myself crapping in here again. I'm craving and wishing for more time to meet life's expectation. After all maybe the limited time given has a wisdom behind it. God knows best..

Till then..daa..

Hijaz..

2008-11-13T09:58:00.023+08:00

Hijaz, my youngest brother, got 5A's in the UPSR recently, as expected by the whole family..And Hijaz did mention before he's pretty confident he will obtain straight A's cos the questions are peanuts! . So no surpriselah.hehe. Anyway congrats Hijaz. So Hijaz lays down the curtain to the UPSR clan in the siblings after his twin sisters last year. At last...And his cousin Hafiz got straight A's in his UPSR as well.

This is Hijaz. Pic was taken on my engagement day (Hijaz baru lepas nangis kena gigit tebuan kat jari.. )

Best of Luck to Anim my other bro who's struggling for his SPM rite now.Chayok bro!

Thoughts..

2008-10-24T14:53:00.009+08:00

Kalau kita boleh lukis apa yang kita nak dalam kertas,dan lukisan itu boleh jadi realiti alangkah bestnya.Kalau boleh lukis sebuah kereta bersama pemandunya, senangla saya ke tempat keje ,tak payah mengharapkan Si Shukor utk tumpangkan tiap2 hari ke Putrajaya. Kalau boleh lukis sebuah rumah betul2 sebelah ofis lagi best, tiap2 hari boleh gi ofis jalan kaki je.Tak payah bangun awal2 kejar masa sebelum 8.30.

Kalau boleh lukis apa yang diimpikan utk wedding pon best jugak. Tak payah pening nak tempah baju, cari photographer, mak andam, hantaran dan sebagainya. Biar wedding simple, tapi meriah, asalkan semua orang happy dan puas hati. Orang kata tak kisahla sesimple mana atau berapa nilai sesebuah persiapan perkahwinan,yang penting nilai kebahagiaan selepas itu. Betul tak.(apa kena mengenanya pulak ni??)

Hari ni dah Jumaat. Cuaca yang tak menentu menyebabkan kesihatan merudum…lalu keje pun tak bape nak jalan..

Updetla sket..

2008-09-13T14:55:00.008+08:00

Selamat Berpuasa semua!!...Puasa tahun ni adalah puasa paling tak best dalam hidup sebab blom boleh lagi nak balik berbuka ramai2 dengan family. Tapi takpela mana2 pun, maksud berpuasa tu yg penting.. Stuck dah berminggu2 lamanya dalam kursus yang padat dan berlemon2 dengan aktiviti ni. Baru balik dari BTN kat Kem Meru,Klang, dan rasanya tahap kecintaan saya pada negara Malaysia ni dah semakin menebal lepas kena 'basuh' sket dengan fasilitators dekat kem BTN tu.

Oh cite pasal polis ngan tentera...tak menakutkan seperti yang disangka sebelum ni. Kem tentera adalah tempat paling best sepanjang kursus even kena kawad pagi petang,berlatih menembak,survival, tapi tentera2 kat situ baik2 belaka. Even tempat penginapan tak best,kena berkhemah dalam hutan, kena pakai uniform yg oversize, spike boot size besar etc, tapi pengalaman dan layanan yang dorang bagi takkan dilupakan sampai bila2. Minggu polis kat Maktab PDRM okla jugak,tapi tak se best di tentera.

Apa lagi nak ngarut..lagi 2 minggu kursus nak abis, x sabar nak balik rumah, nak buka puasa nak raya dan sewaktu dengannya. Kejapje rasa 3 bulan, lepas ni kena masuk keje cam biasa.

And to umi, my bro hijaz n sis wa, yang sambut birthday bulan 9 ni..Happy Birthday...(Hijaz dah merdeka sebab baru abis UPSR)...

Pic-kenangan masa kat lapang sasar menembak,kem jugra

-takat ni jelah, cite lain2 tu...nantila updet..^_^

Keeping busy...

2008-07-15T17:38:00.009+08:00

Nak update ape ye..petang ni skip riadah dan bergegas ke CC..Susah betul kalau berjauhan ngan alam maya ni.Hmm, saya sekarang tengah kursus tiga bulan untuk jawatan kat gomen.Kenapa saya join gomen ,itu yang rata2 orang tanya,...xde sape2 influence, tapi sebab nak ubah angin kot.Skrg memang sangat2 busy,kursus memanjang.Jadual pack, dengar ceramah,kelas,makan dan makan lagi...Kursus lain2 tempat,last month kat Banting, skarang kat Bangi, dis weekend kena pegi Segamat.Then next month ada latihan tentera pulak kat Kuala Kubu Baru n seterusnya Polis kat Cheras..phew..Nak buat camana, terpaksa redha jelah dan tunggu sampai kursus habis 24 September ni..

Sedih jugak sebab tak dapat attend wedding kawan2 cam wedding Emma, E, Shauna, Bie dan lain2 yang tak sempat lagi nak bukak kad kawin. Selamat Pengantin Baru la semua yek.Rindu betul nak balik rumah, and hope boleh attend wedding Muna next week..And pada kawan2, jangan rindu saya banyak sgt ye..haha..

Banyak perancangan sekarang ni, hope semuanya berjalan as scheduled..=)

Got to go now..daa..

Leaving...

2008-06-20T13:10:00.005+08:00

I'm leaving the firm..i'm leaving all the bitter-sweet memories in here.My last day would be on Monday and after that i'm going to discover another new workload and definitely new environment..completely different..I'll be missing courts,court's friends, my boss etc etc.It's kind of sad when you're happy and quite satisfied with your life right now but you have to leave them for your own good.

A poem should be enough then..;)

I’m leaving soon
Needless to say that I'm going my very own way.
From this moment on
I make my own choices.
I knew I would not stay

But still, I thought time
Should have passed so slowly.
Another month,another years have gone.
Now I know I was wrong,
Wrong to wish
That it would end,
Possibly just blend.
Blend like the wind.
Colorless
Can’t feel, cant see, cant be there.
And I wish it would still be with me.
Although it is,
But it isn’t the same.
Even if those memories make me sane.

Some place that cannot offer me anything anymore.
It’s done , over.
I’m in the process of crossing my own finish line.
And,
I couldn’t be any happier.

This place is my belief.
The center of my mind.
Its why I am the way I am today.

Needless to say,
I am sad... But so proud.
I’m going my own way. =)

Finger crossed and wish me luck..^_^

Dah lama tak ngarut2 dalam blog ni.Perasaan best balik ke rumah minggu ni tidak dapat digambarkan dengan kata2..lebih best dari kepuasan melihat kemenangan man u tempoh hari..haha.Sebenarnya semalam (jumaat) bukanlah rasa nak balik sangat,lagipun dah plan nak pegi dinner Alumni UIA malam tu.Tetapi selepas rasa sakit hati dan tension dengan judge yang paling dibenci di court petang semalam,hati tiba2 berubah.perasaan nak balik begitu melonjak2,nak tengok rumah, dan dengan gamblenya habis je court,terus ke bus station.nasib begitu baik,ada tiket terus ke jerantut tepat 5.30.dan sekarang berada di rumah...best2..

Kings Of Europe..!!

2008-05-23T08:47:00.015+08:00

Putting this is a MUST..hehe....

They say the ball is round and in football, the match is never lost until the last kick..and..

MANCHESTER UNITED IS THE CHAMP!!......again???

It was an awakening match that drags me along until morning,such a heart-stopping drama when United claimed the third European Cup after won 6-5 penalties following a thrilling match that ended 1-1 after extra time.Oh and I feel sorry for Chelsea...

Here goes the event..

Ronaldo leaps high to score his 42nd goals of the season..the game was 1-0 at this point

But Lampard gives an equalizer and made it 1-1 before half-time..

U got a red card!Didier Drogba is sent off after needlessly tapping Vidic..

Almost from hero to zero...how come he missed the penalty..spoil je

Van Der Sar is United hero..a brilliant decisive save from Anelka's penalty and give United the Champ League title.

Mr Chelsea,John Terry in agony.It was a cruel game,yes,but thanks for the penalty miss

Run baby run...Manchester United players run to celebrate after Edwin Van Der Sar saves a penalty by Nicolas Anelka..

Devils rule in Moscow..We are the champion !!!

It was a dramatic win over Chelsea.Think this season is one of the most successful for United and hopefully next season would be much much better..:) Next:EURO 2008..

EPL Crown retained!

2008-05-12T17:08:00.013+08:00

Glad its over..i was almost in tears,hehe ..Needless to say,the pictures say a thousand words...^_^

1st half penalty by Ronaldo..United beat Wigan 2-0 to retain title after Giggs's final touch.

hoorah...other team, pls try again next season,ye.

..the 10th premier league title...

the ever proud Pakcik Alex, lifts the throphy..

We are the Champion!!!Glory...glory...

I'm so pissed off. Well, I'm not suppose to write bad things about people in my blog and had promise to stop 'komplen' with anything related to WORK but I just can't. I have to vomit certain things out in here so I can concentrate with my work then. What would you do if your boss is such an annoying lady who always chases your butt even when u stick it to your chair. Though she's not the one who directly pay my salary but still..i'm under her supervision.Extremely under her supervision.

She's particularly don't do anything bad towards me but sometimes her "I'm the boss here anyway" attitude is just super annoying.. This lady currently not in speaking term with my clerk and she drags me along with this problem. She asked me to stay away from this clerk and instead of neutralize everything to normal as a boss she just make things worst. She's been so paranoid of the whole thing, and whenever the clerk get into my room to send files and asks questions relating to work, she keeps buzzing my phone asking what the clerk told me as if we have nothing else to do but bitching her. She said she want to 'pressure' the clerk to leave the firm by any means that her immature little brain can think of. Now I'm bitching her since she asked me to move to another room so she can see whether the clerk has guts to talk to me about her again.Of cos not a single word. Because by using her absolute veto power, she forced me to move into HER ROOM!!!she'd put extra table in!!!Psychoo..

I need some space and air.I feel I want to scream and bitching at her but those words only echoed in my heart..duh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY-CLICK FIVE

Hey you
I know I'm in the wrong
Time flies
When you're having fun
You wake up
Another year is gone you're 25

I guess you wanna know
Why I'm on the phone
It's been a day or so
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday

Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday

So hard
When you're far away
It's lame but I forgot the date
I won't make the same mistake
It's all too late

Now you know
Don't hang up the phone
I wish I was at home
I know it's way too late
But happy birthday

Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday

It's not that I don't care
You know I'll make it up to you
If I could I'd be there

Yeah yeah whoa oh
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday

Yeah yeah whoa oh
I know you hate me
Yeah yeah whoa oh
Well I miss you too
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But happy birthday
To you

..thanx for the delicious food,the sleep-OVER, and the super cute nephew as an

ENTERTAINER...(sudah kangen sama itu mahmood;)) time flies... and no matter how your age seems unreasonably old, you still young at heart and u can't never beat me for being YOUNGER..^-^..

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.

What Mazliza Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.

You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.

You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.

You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.

But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.

Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

That is soo true..well,at least some of them..I do this quiz and quite amazed actually how this people can come up with something that close enough..(kebetulan kot)-f-r-e-a-k-y- Lets try this people..:)

Boring Friday..n still have to finish some of unfinished business at the office..feeling slightly regret that why on earth I didn't take a day off today so I can continue four days 'happy holiday' in a row...

Looking forward for my staff's wedding and sleep over at Sasha's place tomorrow.

Oh and Happy 25th Birthday to my Law 20 clicks, Hida and Afzan.

-hmm..apala yang pakcik tu beli kat pasar minggu hari ni...^-^
