Tag-Fave song of all time..

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..

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.

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...

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..

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

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]

Count your age with friends but not with years...

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...

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..
