Part 10 : Kid and The Darndest Thing

While attending Carlson (9 years old)… there’s something weird about his upper right lip… it had big swell and cuts.

Me : Carlson, what happen to your lip?

Carlson : I CRASHED the floor…

Me : (jokingly shocked)… What?! You CRASHED the floor?! But, Why? You want to be a superhero?

Carlson : hhhehehe… No teacher, I accidentally crashed on the floor.

Me : Oh you mean, accidentally fell on the floor... my... lucky you, it just few cuts... next time don’t crash on the floor, crash pillows instead… much safer ;)

Carlson : hhhehehe... Ya-lah, If I have superhero power by imagining pillows before hit the floor, it won’t be ugly like this, will be more careful next time.. :D..

Me : You right, anyway better be safe than sorry next time... (I guess he just watched Green Latern... hmmm)

* * *
ps: guess what, he did watch Green Latern with his family before the accident. Haha. No wonder.

Di suatu tengah hari Jumaat… setiba di kedai makan kegemaran berseorangan...
Kim Kee Hailam Chicken Rice, Jalan Kolam Ayer Lama, Ampang...
aromanya membuatkan diri terasa begitu lapar sekali...

Pelayan : Salam kak, nak makan apa?

Me : (dengan yakinnya dan begitu teruja sekali) Nasi LEMAK Ayam Roasted … SATU!

Pelayan : haaaaa?? Kak? Kita… (dia terus tergelak, tak jadi dia nak ambil order)

Me : Erkk, kita kat mana sekarang?? (dahi berkerut, dalam hati 'betullah nasi lemak ayam roasted.. rasanya dah sampai kedai yang betul'... sambil mencari papan tanda & membayangkan nasi ayam yang sedap) Astaga!!

Pelayan : (pelayan gelak terdekah2)… kami tak jual nasi lemak, kak… tapi saya buatkan nasi ayam roasted special satu untuk kakak, ok? :D

Me : Alamak… dik, malu akak… pagi tadi tak dapat makan nasi lemak… nasinya habis… :D

Pelayan : Heehehe, tak apa, kat sini nasi masih ada lagi… 2 minit sampai dengan ayam sekali. :D

Yang pasti ianya Halalan Toyyiban. Alhamdulillah.

Suasana sunyi di dalam kereta… hanya deruan enjin sahaja yang kedengaran… Awien leka memerhati kehijauan & dan langit biru di luar… bertuah rasanya hari ini Rudy sudi menghantar Awien ke tempat kerja….

“Take my hand, won’t believe, on a night summer’s day… come along, you will see… everything is ok….” Bunyi deringan telefon awien memecah kesunyian…..

Awien : “… assalamualaikum, hello… yea mummy… hmmm… ok… nanti Awien tengokkan… ok… bye.”

Kembali ke suasana sunyi….. sambil senyum kerang pada Rudy…

2 minit kemudian….

Nada dering rancak Rudy pula berdering….

Rudy : “…yea… aku tengah driving ni…. Ok… jap lagi aku datang…”

Kembali ke suasana sunyi…. dan Awien kembali sengih pada Rudy sebelum mengalih pandangan di luar… hari yang cukup indah…

Tiba-tiba… ada bunyi lagi… kali ini sayup2 kedengaran… Awien buat tak tahu… tapi pelik, kenapa bunyi nya lain… masih kedengaran bunyi sayupan itu… itu bukan bunyi telefon Awien… takkan Rudy tukar ringing tone pula…?

Awien : Ayang telefon you … tak angkat ke?? … sejak bila pula you tukar lagu sentimental ni??…

Rudy : Mana nye bunyi telefon I sentimental … Yang… ni bunyi radio lah… you senyap sangat … asyik senyum je kat I… tak pe lah I layan radio je lah…

Awien : hhhahaha… sorry Ayang, ingatkan bunyi telefon you…. apa lah ayang ni, buka radio senyap2 je… hhheeee… love you… (sengih lagi kat Rudy)

15 minit akan sampai ke destinasi… kembali melihat langit biru.... sambil mendengar fly.fm…

Me : (terkejut)… HaA!… you nak Singgah Mana pulak malam-malam macam ni??!
Rudy : Astaga… you ni … bukan nak singgah mana-mana lah … Shwing Gum... I nak Shwing Gum tadi..

Masih Blur… dalam hati 'suka hati lah nak singgah mana-mana..'.... sehingga ternampak Dentin Chewing Gum di atas dashbox…

Me : ...chewing gum?.... Ayang nak chewing gum? (muka innocent habis)
Rudy : ...baru nak offer setelah sekian lama I minta...
Me : Laaa.... You minta chewing gum ke dari tadi.... I mati-mati dengar you tanya I nak 'singgah mana?'

Awien’s Thought...

When I read previous entries ...I think I should change it to Awien's Life... but I had doubts when I do so ...After many months, then I realized that I am not that kind of person who like to share about ‘What's going on her life? I mean My Life’.... I think what I blogged here was too overexposing somehow… It suppose to be My Thought... so that’s why I… Senyap (Silent) … I guess, I had enough... yet I don’t feel like to stop...

No, it's not the end... just need some time to figure out what’s next...
Minimized.... back to the root.

Have a good day & Happy Year 2011.

ps : ohhh...I miss to blog out Mari Bual-Bual so much....

What is Your Day?

2010-11-09T02:48:00.003+08:00

Halo halo....

Last night, out of nowhere... Spontaneously, I came out with.... a Rhyme. It’s happened when I PM (personal messaging) with Neena & Za in FB. Talking about our weekend activities... how tired and jolly the day was..... and, Whining about our so called ‘normal-routine-days’ on upcoming Weekdays.

The Rhyme is about the days that nearly everyone had to go through, all around the years...
So, here we go.....

Monday is ‘Sengal’ Day....

Tuesday is Warm-Up Day...

Wednesday is ‘Do-as-Listed’ Day...

Thursday is Meeting Day...

Friday is Hard-Working Day...

Because ...

Saturday is Get-Away Day!

And Sunday is Time-Out Day...

While Holiday is Blissful Day...

Therefore, Everyday is Tired Day...

*   *   *
Definitions:

Monday is ‘Sengal’ Day...
– Laziness & Boredom clouded the day... If it badly handled, it will drive us crazy.
- ‘Sengal’ mean.... Crazy, Mad, Silly, or other word..... ‘Not-so-good...’

Tuesday is Warm-Up Day...
– Being Motivated on Tuesday, perked-up most of us; it is a good day to be Ambitious.

Wednesday is ‘Do-as-Listed’ Day...
– Most of us will try our best to do all things that had listed on last Friday...

Thursday is Meeting Day...
– It’s time to see ‘Who’s the boss.’... get ready with the graphs and reports...

Friday is Hard-Working Day...
– Must finish all the works that had listed previously.... by TODAY!...

Because.....

Saturday is Get-Away Day!
– Wweeee!.... and please don’t ask me to work on Saturday... as the Spa had booked.

And Sunday is Time-Out Day...
–This is the day to relax with loves one and have a normal life....

While Holiday is Blissful Day...
– ... always looking forward for long Holidays... Where should we go then???

Therefore, Everyday is Tired Day...
– As Life from Monday to Holiday is one long process of getting tired.

*   * *

How lucky we are living through all this days.... no matter how hectic it could be... still it meant something. It's an opportunity to live better in future.

Past is Experience
Present is Experiment
Future is Expectation.
Use your Experience in your Experiment to achieve your Expectations.
Have a Nice day to everyone......

2010 Eid Mubarak - Part 2

2010-10-28T11:30:00.007+08:00

Day 3 – Pekan Nenas, Pontian, Johor Bharu

Day 2, we had to go back to KL since Rudy had wedding video shoot at Brickfield the next day. So, when I reached home from Melaka, facebook was what I went through first. The first family picture I see was this...

How I miss them so much, I looked at each happy face... Uncles, Aunties, Cousins and Grandpa... Grandpa... he looks different...
Out of sudden... I realised something...
... and a bit shock with this weird feeling that telling me... 'It might be his last Raya...'
... feel like a rush... and all I wanted at that moment is to spent this Raya with all of them. It's been more than 5 years for not having this moment like I used to have when we were young....

Indeed, early morning, kakak called me. She invited us to go JB with them. Darn, I didn’t expect so soon, it was Sunday, while I suppose to work on Monday, and how am I going to ask for extra leaves. Half-hearted. My mistake not applying for long Raya leaves. But luck on my side, here we go, another 3 days leave approved, to spent time with loves one.

We made a move after Rudy's wedding v-shoot and met my sisters at our uncle, Cik Yusof’s house at Taman Austin, JB. We reached quite late due to slow moving at Plus Highway, it took 5 hours non-stop driving from KL which supposes to take only 3.5 hours. Traffic got much slower than expected all the way from Muar.

1st house we visit that very warm night was, Wak Long & Wak Rahmah's house. Wak Long is mummy's 1st & eldest brother.

FB-ing while my eldest sis having little chit-chat with both Waks in the kitchen.

Wak Long (white shirt) & Wak Rahmah (stripped blouse)...

...discussing about.... Terengganu Cuisine & Sultan Kelantan issues...

They just simply love to visit Terengganu when they had a chance.

Can you find Rudy??... he's somewhere behind there... sleeping in a lazy chair... too tired after whole day v-shoot & long driving hour... pity him. Anyway, we had a very great chat with Wak Long & Wak Rahmah.

2010-10-20T12:04:00.002+08:00

I'm not going to write about my 2010 eid mubarak... so lets the pictures do their talk ;)

Day 1 - Kuala Lumpur

On our way to my 2nd Sis's house @ Setiawangsa

No, this is not a Barisan Melayu Meeting over the food.
We're just simply indulging our stomach and brain with those delish authentic cuisines
that served during 1st day Raya only.

Raya AidilFitri 2010 Family Pictures

With Aunty Lucy @ Wan's House
(with so many pictures had taken before, this is one of the best)

* * * * *
Day 2 - Melaka

@ Rudy's late Grandparents' house, Nyalas
We're ready to leave at this time to Nenek's house @ Merlimau

Marching towards somebody's house.
Visiting Rudy's GrandAunty.

Killing the time, captured moment with cousins

@ Nenek's house. While others (cousins) in boredom,
I just simply enjoy myself with Raiyan,
as Raiyan's Ibu and Ayah having lunch with Nenek in the kitchen.

It's free WiFi @ Pak Ngah's house and the boys updating their Facebook.

After good shower, yummy Fried Kuey Teow had been served by Mak Ngah

The night before we leave Melaka to KL, we stopped by at Jonker Street.
It's the most beautiful night, with Syawal moon hanging in the black sky.

* * * * *
Ps : Not many pictures we're taken during this 2 days, mostly candid. This entry is auto-published.

It's October... say "Weeeee"

2010-10-01T23:54:00.003+08:00

011010... wow what a gorgeous date.... and it's indicated that the date is the day I turned... 29.... Hoorraaahh!! Happy Birthday to MEEE... Happy Birthday to Meeee.... =D....

Nothing much happen but I do had a very great day.... jolly all the time... feels like a Divahahahaha...

Exactly at 12am on 1st October 2010... Rudy surprised me with simple cake.... we shared the cake with ayah and Taco...

Taco said, "What?? It just a bite."

Then Morning, I went work as usual until noon. Since Rudy at his parent's house that afternoon (he sent Abah to hospital in the morning for follow up check-up)... so I went there around 3pm... had an evening tea together, eat Mee Rebus and assorted Pau... yummy.... just leisurely Lepak there till dinner....

Then around 10pm, my lovely niece and nephew called me, "Mak Teh, where are you?"

I knew it, kakak had bought a cake for me... another celebration with those two lovely children, and ayah... Thanks Sis for that rabbit cake... super cute... =D... and Fulamak! got Tiny Little Umbrella on it some more.... ohhh terkenang cerita di zaman muda...... hhhehehehe.... +D

sila abaikan lilin 3 batang tersebut... ia hanyalah silap pengiraan semata-mata... hhhahaha =D

Me like 'Wow... pizza pisang?!'

See.. Nothing extravaganza special... but it's the most pleasant day for me.... then I realise how lucky I am to be born on this date, 29 years ago with this Big Heart that has a very Big Spaces for Love to share around.... though it can be easily broken but very fast to heal... life will be much easier when it comes to forgive and forget ;) ... and OH, I already forgotten what to say next... hhhahahaha....

and to Everyone, especially My Sayang - Rudy, to my both Parents, my lovely Sisters and Brothers, Families and Friends, BFFs who wishing me all the best onwards... Thank you for being there for me, I'm so lucky to have you guys in this life.... without your support, I won't be stronger as today, you are my inspiration to Live to the Fullest. Love you all always.

xoxo,
Awien Ghazi

Mari Bual-Bual - Part 7

2010-09-23T10:18:00.014+08:00

Oh Bulan di manakah bintang…
sudah terlindung di kayu ara…

* * * * *

Taman Austin, Johor Bharu, 10.30 AM...

Sepanjang perjalanan pulang dari Selatan ke Kuala Lumpur dengan menaiki kenderaan comel lagi laju berdesup… mengekori kenderaan kakak-kakak tersayang dari belakang...

Kami berhenti di R&R Seremban sebentar, dan 25 minit kemudian, kami memulakan semula perjalanan menuju pulang ke destinasi masing-masing.

Me : Saayyaaaang, cantik nya bintang tu… terang giler…
Rudy : Aaaa, tu lah bintang Syawal…
Me : Erkk, ye ke, mana ada bintang Syawal?! memandai je you ni... (jauh di sudut hati : Ye kot ada… tapi kenapa bintang tu nampak macam bergerak yer?)

2 minit setelah meneliti bintang cantik berkedipan…

Me : La… tu bukan bintang… itu lampu kapal terbang!! (muncung se-depa)
Rudy : Haiii sayang...sayang... (sambil tersengih sinis)

* * * *

20-30 minit kemudian…
Me : eh tu macam bintang tadi.... betul lah, tadi tu bintang…
Rudy : aaaA… bintang kapal terbang…
Me : takkkk … betul-betul nampak macam bintang… (cukup yakin)

2 minit meneliti bintang cantik berkedipan…

Me : A’ah la, Yang… kapal terbang… I ternampak lampu merah dia kiri kanan berkelip bip bip bip... (jari jemari bip bip ala-ala gaya twinkle star)
Rudy : HHahaHa (kali ni Rudy tak boleh tahan gelak) Sah, You dah sengal.

*Ada dia cakap kita sengal* (muncung se-depa dua...sambil melihat jam.)

Hampir jam 10.45 PM di Nilai, Negeri Sembilan...
Wow, 12 jam perjalanan!! Patutlah dah jadi separa sengal…

Guess what?? We're reach home almost at 12AM... =) ...What a 'Looooonngggg' journey....

The Days before Raya

2010-09-20T06:57:00.007+08:00

Raya… raya… after five years marriage…I still unable to adjust… (how to say this)… to get along the raya flows… something like that… Where to raya, me or Rudy’s place? Should I cook on that day? The preparation?? Cookies… Cakes?? Who deserve duit raya besides than youngsters who still schooling?? and so on…

I know sometimes I should let the flow…flow by itself, but it does hurt when it’s not accorded with what we had plan… sometimes its beyond than what we’re afford to… until I gave up on it this year… and decided to go work instead of celebrating long Raya. That’s why I worked on Raya Eve and took short leaves.

So, What did I do few days before Raya?

I didn't do anything, I didn’t prepare anything, our house looks the same like 15 years ago… not even a baju raya, and even until last minute still deciding the theme. But since one of my darling close friends are getting married soon, and the theme will be white, silver and gold… so Me & Rudy just go with the theme… White.

and… What’s more to be so lucky!!!

Both of my eldest sisters willing to let go their new baju raya to me…due to ‘misconduct’ by the sengal tailor… she made SengalS baju kurungs… hhhahahaha =D… So I got TWO – as early birthday presents… woot woot… and Oh plus ONE… mummy gave away one of her baju kurung too… as it’s too sexy for her which she wore only once within 1 and half hours on wedding invitation.

Syukur Alhamdulillah… I didn’t need to buy baju raya this year =D and I able to give more duit raya to my dearest young family members… say... ‘WweeEEeee… Youngster!’ … hhhhhehe =D

and Wow, wish there will be more tailor’s misconduct next year… so I can get more free baju kurung… MuuhaHaHa… *notty me*

* * *

Raya was on Friday, but since I worked on Thursday… I cooked Beef Rendang two days earlier on Wednesday after Iftar. It came marvellously along with 2 Marble Cakes, for Kak Noni (Rudy’s Cuz Sister) whose going back to Kedah and Mak (Rudy’s Mom).

With all sudden, the Raya excitements came… then I realised how our house looks like an Old Mansion that needs to scrub and refurbish… oh pity that old curtains and blackened carpets. Yikes…

So, while waiting for the Rendang and cakes to be done… I just cleaned up whatever I can, Ayah helped me with the curtains & carpets, Rudy cleaned the upstairs section… since I had to get sleep for work in the afternoon… all almost done by the next morning at 8am… .

Thursday, I’d been advice to leave early. By 9.30pm, I reached home and prepared the ingredients for Rendang Ayam while Instant Ketupats boiled in rice cooker. I managed to bake 1 Marble Cake for Nenek (Rudy’s Grandma) and 2 Chocolate Moist Cakes for me and Mummy… do cleaning some more… and sent cakes and cookies to Mak before they leave to Melaka.

Regards the cakes… all been done with Rudy’s help… seriously, Rudy really help me… all works done in short time… it is unbelievable, he is a truly person who can counted on and committed to what he promise too. How lucky I am.

The echoes of Takbir Raya… even though the feels are not the same like 10 years ago… Somehow, as a wife to Rudy and a daughter who lives with Ayah… still needs to carry on the traditions… it might be our last Ramadhan and Raya this year… nobody knows only He knows… this is the time where we meet our long lost relatives, to get along with beloved immediate families and dearest friends. Then I realised my mistake not taking long Raya holiday... I do regret.

So hope next year will be much better than this year… no matter what it is… definitely will get new baju kurung ready ealier and take long Raya break next time If I’m still around ;).

Selamat Hari Raya.
xoxo, Awien Ghazi - 12th Sept 2010

Ada apa dengan 16hb September?

2010-09-18T10:16:00.001+08:00

Walaupun 16hb Sept 2010 dah pun berlalu… nak juga post gambar ni. Dari hari tu… hari tu… hari tu lagi dah pesan Rudy ambil gambar ni… konon nya nak publish sempena Hari Malaysia…

He did it before raya that day… but I didn’t notice it…
It’s ok… yang penting, semangat cintakan negara dan saling hormat-menghormati tidak kira apa jua kaum perlu sentiasa ada di jiwa setiap masa supaya kita hidup dengan penuh kasih sayang, aman dan berdaulat…

* * *
ps: I don’t think ayah will take it down… and I hope so not.

* * * * *

Dengan itu, saya ingin mengisytiharkan Cerita di bulan Ramadhan telah pun selesai… Harap kita berjumpa lagi di Ramadhan tahun hadapan.

Ramadhan FlashBack - Part 1

2010-09-12T12:06:00.391+08:00

Even though Ramadhan 1431H left us a week ago, it still remain as the best Ramadhan this year… segala kewajipan masih dijalankan seperti biasa… however there a lots of events happened around that months…

A day before Iftar @ Strudels, While waiting at GSC lobby to watch Expandables with NeenaAnuar, coincidently we met IenaAchik… from there I get to know well IenaAchik.

Actually this is not the first time, we met before long time ago during Teh Tarik with NeenaAnuar and Mencanai with IenaAchik, but we didn’t get the chance to know each other well… due to awkwardness's and crowds.

So here we are… out of sudden we’re become good friends yang kena ‘halau’ dari this Curry House sebab lama sangat berborak sampai ke sahur…

Ooooo... kalau anda bertemu dengan Neena & Iena berdua ni, dinasihatkan anda duduk di kiri mahupun kanan mereka... lagi bagus bawa bersama earplug... kalau tidak anda akan mengalami masalah pendengaran dan urat leher tergeliat...

* * * * *

Then come with Iftar @ Strudels… gathering with Bloggers and Friends…

Mak enCik Neena sedang membuat food inspections

Photos was taken by Anuar

Ooo lepas tu sempat lagi pergi main bowling & sempat pergi bersahur bersama… dan, kami tidak serik untuk bersahur di tempat yang sama di mana kami di suruh beredar di hari sebelumnya.... =D

* * * * *

BEFORE we went to Strudels… Za & Lee invited us for Raya Shooting @ White Room, CST Production…

Thanks to Lee & Za for letting us fully utilize the room… ;) and Lee, Anuar, Syah and Rudy for capturing beautiful Pictures, Neena for make over my comot face, Za for let me use your make ups (& thanks for influence me to buy make up kits again hhhehe)… and the lovelies ~ Derna, Eri-chan, Ann & Mimy…

* * * * *

OK lets continue… since Iena & Achik unable to attend Iftar @ Strudels, she invited Me, Rudy, Neena & Anuar to their house for iftar. As approval of Aku Bukan Chef… my goodness… how mouth watering all the dishes she cooked - especially crabs… The taste ~ Honestly, definitely DELISH… & We had a great laugh until late night.

Then the following week on Nuzul Quran Holiday, another time invitation by Iena & Achik for Iftar potluck.

and this time we stayed until Sahur… one of the reason is…

Iena & Achik in 'How to Use DSLR like Pro with Anuar & Rudy'

...... kelas free tuuuu… pandai Iena bagi kitorang makan sedap-sedap sampai Awien & Neena tergolek kekenyangan …hhhahaha…

AAA… talking about influence… BE WARNED... as anyone who become part of our circle of friends… needs to be prepared from 'Mentally Fatal Attractions'… =D

As the Husbands will 'accidently' influence you to get good DSLR … & the Wives will influence you to get MAC... kwang… kwang…kwang… oooo bahaya… bahaya… kawan-kawan dengan diorang nih… & the latest victim is IenaAchik who sucessfully bought DLSR Canon 1000D… yeeaa, sila tepuk tangan…

* * * * *

Dan seterusnya di hari ambang merdeka, Rudy iftar at NeenaAnuar’s place with LeeZa…

uish... seronok nya mereka berlima... berbuka together-gether.... muka masing-masing hampir lupa dengan orang yang kuat bekerja ni.... nasib baik cik abang Rudy call... 'Ayang, dah berbuka... Neena kirim salam...' ...sejuk hati ;)

ShAkE... SHaKe ~ Nescafe Shakes made by Iena

* * * * *

and lastly,

....kita sambung kemudian lah....

* * * * *

All posted pictures credited to Rudy, Neena & Anuar
And thank you to all friends for those good time together Lee-Za & babies, Iena & Achik, Derna-Syah & baby Marisa, Mimi-Megat, Eri-chan, Yanie-Zack, Ann-Faizal, Cida-Zamani & lovely Ijat.

Salam Lebaran

2010-09-09T22:15:00.001+08:00

Alamak... dah nak raya dah... kan alangkah bagusnya ramadhan kita lebih lama... mmm... sedihnya tinggalkan Ramadhan tahun ni... it's the best ramadhan I ever had...

Semalam Awien masak rendang daging... al-maklumlah saya ni pekerja cemerlang... so kena lah buat awal sebabnya Awien bekerja hari ni... sempatlah siapkan 3 biji lagi kek... & nasi impit....

tak menang tangan di buatnya.. nasib baik lah my darling willing to help me pukul butter & telur... jam tu juga lah baru nak datang feel-feel raya... haaa baru perasan rumah macam tongkang pecah... sampai ke 8:00am mengemas... tersangap terus kat tempat keje.... tak ke terpadan muka buat kerja mengemas last minit....

So hari ni pula, masih tak habis mengemas, nak buat rendang ayam pula and topping untuk chocolate cakes...

Anyway, kerana masa tidak mengizinkan.... Awien ingin mengucapkan Salam Lebaran buat semua kawan-kawan yang gorgeous lagi tersayang, para readers... & my beloved families ;)... Maaf Zahir Batin, jika ada terkasar bahasa harap dimaafkan, jika ada yang terlebih mahupun terkurang harap dihalalkan... semoga panjang umur kita ketemu lagi...

Mari Bual-Bual - Part 6

2010-09-03T12:46:00.008+08:00

Uhmmm dah lama tak selit perbualan sengal… SO…

Last week Saturday, we iftar at Mummy’s house… as I called her, she asked me to buy donuts from nearby J.Co’s. While we’re sitting at the dining table… 4 of us having conversation about general matters… over those lovely donuts and teh tarik…

Mummy : Hari tuh pergi rumah Auntie Nor kat Kepong, Auntie Nor offer donut mini… mummy tak sampai hati nak ambil sebab segan tengokkan budak2 kat rumah dia perhati kan donut-donut ni… yang Auntie Nor pulak dia tak offer kat budak2 tu…

Papa : lar, yang nak sekat2 tak bagi budak2 tu kenapa?

Mummy : Entahlah Pa… tu yang I suruh diorang belikan ni… teringin sejak hari tu… betullah J.Co ni lembut… so J.Co mana awak beli ni?

Me : Kat Giant Mutiara Damansara. Sedapkan… next time beli kat sana je lah…

Mummy : Tapi yang auntie Nor offer… bukan macam ni…

Rudy : (dengan confident nya) Takkan Big Apple… mungkin Donkey Donut kot…

Papa tersedak.... Mummy tergelak....

Me : Errkk.. u nie… kalau lalu depan Dunkin’ Donuts jangan sebut Donkey Donut tau… ada yang kena donut terbang… dah lah donutnyer agak tak lembut…

Rudy : Abis tu dah bunyi nak seakan2 ... tak tersengaja ler ( muka innocent tak kesian )

* * *

adoii… sayang, sayang oi…
Dunkin’ Donut jadinya Donkey Donut

Steamer Iron……??? … masa jalan-jalan kat bahagian Electrical Section at Giant Mutiara Damansara at the same day… dia ternampak… display Steamer Iron…

Rudy : haaa .... ni lah dia Steamboat… ( siap demo sekali )
Me : Yaaanngg, bukan Steamboat lah... Steamer . Iron... you ni buat I nak makan Steamboat aje lah.

See... macam mana awien tak semakin bulat dan gebu......

From S’pore to KL

Korek-korek fail gambar, rupa-rupanya banyak gambar boleh diceritakan walaupun ianya cerita basi… layan je lah yer… kata to capture the moments, right…

18th June, 2010

2 days before end of school holidays, my aunties and uncle with their family decided to visit us. Since kak Nia is not feeling well to take them for a tour, me and Rudy are so pleased to take her part. Luckily Rudy’s free and didn’t have any event shooting at the same day.

Maka, setelah meneliti agenda & arah tuju mereka, kami membawa mereka ke Mid Valley Megamall.

Hhhaha mesti korang cakap… lor tak de tempat lain ker nak bawa. Habis tuh… kat KL ni kan terkenal dengan shopping and eating heaven ajer… Memang pun agenda diorang jalan-jalan cari makan bila datang KL… shopping tu cuma activiti sampingan jer.

Agenda utama adalah makan di Carl’s Jr… since Singapore Carl’s Jr tidak halal maka di sini lah menjadi tumpuan… I’m not big fan of fast food… so sekali sekala layan pun tak pa.. lagi seronok makan ramai2.

with cousins

Ikutkan ada saja aktiviti lain nak dibuat, mandi air terjun, BBQ and so on… tapi kerana kan hari begitu singkat & tidak mengizinkan, itu sahaja lah tempat yang di tuju – MV & Danau Kota.

Merdeka Di Rumah Mereka

2010-09-02T02:16:00.052+08:00

Merdeka! Merdeka!… walaupun 31 Ogos dah pun berlalu, tapi kehangatan sambutan merdeka masih dirasai hingga 16 Sept akan datang di mana pada tarikh itu terbentuk lah Malaysia negara berdaulat.

Perjumpaan ni sebenarnya tak terancang…
pakai mengejut jer… nasib baik tuan & puan rumah sporting.

Jatuhnya 31 Ogos 2010 di bulan Ramadhan maka terjadinya agenda berbuka puasa secara PotLuck bersama – Rudy, Lee & Za di rumah Neena & En. Teman. Ooo… Awien tak ada masa ni, kerja ma… but I did come later. Same goes with Iena & Achik.

Semangat kemerdekaan… tak pernah-pernah Awien sambut merdeka macam gini… memang happening. Lee siap pasang konsert Live Merdeka Sudirman di YouTube… tu pasal feeling-feeling terlebih merdeka-nya…

Memandangkan En. Teman amik gambar… Rudy tak tangkap ler gambar banyak mana pun, just candid moments. So kita tengok je lah apa yang ada…

Darwisy always ready pose for the camera…

Video captured credited to Rudy.

dah selesai merdeka… kita pra-raya di rumah Neena & En. Teman…

sengal punya Lee buka lagu raya, siap menjemput beraya lagi…

Meriah tak??… ooissh meriah sungguh… agaknya sampai pak guard house boleh dengar ketawa riang kami… jadi itulah dia hari merdeka kami… santai… walaupun sambutan hanya sesama sendiri… semangat kemerdekaan dan patriotik tetap bersemi di jiwa kami…

Dining Over Double Celebrations

2010-09-01T13:15:00.016+08:00

Updating Awien’s Thought seems like a bit hassle but IF I didn’t do something about it, all the good moments will be meant nothing. So here I am… trying my best to keep up things that happens around, whenever I’m available.

Talking about Awien’s Thought…

Is it true Awien’s Thought is about my thought… hmmm… I’ve got, not, a, single idea what is all about, and obviously it never focus on one topic. It’s too subjective and complicated.

28th May 2010

This compile of pictures… I love the colours so much… green always attract my eyes no matter how ugly the green could be…

It’s Ayah and kak Nia’s birthday, and we celebrate at Khadijah’s Kitchen, Section 11, Petaling Jaya. If not mistaken, this restaurant is own by the popular singer, Khadijah Ibrahim. Indeed, we had a great time there, it’s cosy and the interior is antiquely classy with kampung style.

The food wise, since the interior is kampung theme, so does the menu. We had Masak Lemak Ikan Parang, Sotong Masak Hitam, and few dishes, its Tauhu Telur is the best. Guess what, they also served Ubi Kayu Rebus with Sambal. While the desserts, since we’re quite full, we shared our desserts together… Bubur Pulut Hitam and Pengat Durian.

Overall, definitely home-cook… delish. Though it is fine dining, still expensive compare to the portion, but once in a while why not, right…

Thanks to my beloved sisters for the treat. =)

Mari Bual-Bual - Part 5

2010-07-28T23:20:00.002+08:00

Tuesday, 27th July

Membuat pusingan U-turn untuk menuju ke En-tong (eh betul ke eja?).
Terus bergerak maju selepas mendapat peluang untuk masuk ke kanan di simpang tiga....

Me : Yang, ooo tadi kita masuk simpang ni tak de lampu elektrik yer, Yang?
Rudy : lampu elektrik?? Haa.. setahu I tak de lampu isyarat....

Dua2 tergelak sudah... lain nak tanya lain pula disebut...

Di Jilat Api

2010-07-15T03:19:00.013+08:00

140710 - Kejadian ni berlaku dalam sekitar jam 2ptg, Awien masa tu baru jer selesai masak & terus menghadap PC (biasalah isteri moden, bukan sahaja hal masak memasak, kita kena seiring dengan dunia IT juga... heeee).

Well... that incident happened just nearby my house... seingat Awien, ni adalah kejadian yang kedua dalam tempoh 14 tahun di kawasan perumahan ni... gerun rasanya... dari rumah ni dah rasa bahang apinya.

It's actually rumah kedai, we know quite well the owner. Salah satu kedai yang disewa tu adalah satu-satunya kedai runcit mini yang paling maju di sini... Malang sekali terbakar sudah.. :{... Nampaknya, lepas ni tak boleh lah Awien nak suruh Rudy ke kedai tu untuk beli taugeh... uhmm for time being ni... kena beli sayur siap2 kalau singgah Jusco or Pasar Basah.

Will Cik Mai operate her groceries shop as usual tomorrow?... mmm... agak mustahil kalau kedainya dah rentung... tetapi, adat orang berniaga... I believe Cik Mai & her husband will figure out something within this one or 2 weeks or may be in a month to recover.

However, it will be kesian dengan makcik-makcik & nenek-nenek di kejiranan ni because this is the only nearest source they can get wet & fresh groceries... dan kesian juga kat Awien... nampaknya kena tanam Serai & Sawi kat depan rumah.

There's a lot of history kat rumah kedai tu... one of them, di situlah salah satu tempat pengambaran filem Cinta (Khabir Bhatia).

Dua puluh tahun tinggal di sini, Awien tak pernah nak makan kat Restoran sebelah kedai runcit mini tu, lagi2 past few years ni, sehinggalah baru-baru ini bertukar ke Restoran lain, which is much cleaner... but still... I rather not too... ;)

Anyway, nampaknya tidak ada lagi kedai runcit mini kegemaran penduduk AU2A. Api marak dapat dipadamkan oleh pihak bomba dalam masa 45 minit... yang penting semuanya selamat... kecuali, kucing cute yang dibela Cik Mai dalam sangkar... Kesian.

Oh btw, masa kejadian.... kebetulan Rudy ada di rumah (sebab tu awien masak lunch... hhheheee). Maka dia lah 'papakepohrazzi' yang awal tiba di tempat kejadian untuk meng-capture photo & video sebagai kenang-kenangan dan peringatan which I did realise about something... remind me to buy a good strong tin or deposit box to keep all important documents.

So kepada para pembaca... ke mana anda pergi, pasti kan semua suis rumah ditutup... terutamanya suis Seterika ( which I selalu terlupa :{ )... Terlalu banyak cara-cara mencegah kebakaran untuk dinyatakan di sini... apa kata anda melayari web ini 10 Cara Mencegah Kebakaran.

Sekian Terima Kasih.

2010-07-13T23:44:00.005+08:00

5pm, July 13th

On the way ke UM melalui Jalan Tun Razak Selatan... lalu lintas agak sederhana perlahan. Sedang menikmati pemandangan yang agak memeningkan kepala sebab banyak sangat kenderaan di Jalan Sungai Besi... tiba-tiba ternampak satu lori ni yang tertera iklan syarikatnya... dari jauh, tulisan dia agak macam cacing sedikit... sekali pandang cuba membaca iklan tersebut....

Me : ...( tergelak sendirian )
Rudy : Kenapa?
Me : You nampak tak lori tu?
Rudy : Hah kenapa...apa yang pelik?
Me : ..... tak pelik pun.. cumanya I baca iklan tu pelik sikit... nak tahu apa yang I nampak?
Rudy : Apa nya... biasa aje? ( memang biasa, sebabnya Rudy ni rabun jauh, dia bukan nampak pun )
Me : sekali pandang iklan tu, I nampak tulisan dia.... ‘Udang Kuat’. You nak tahu apa yang dia Iklankan sebenarnya?
Rudy : Lori kuning tu... haa... Nampak tulisan cina aje...
Me : ... tulisan rumi dia... actually, bukan ‘Udang Kuat’... tapi ‘Chong Huat’...
Rudy : :D

dua-dua tergelak... lawak di petang hari... malang sekali, dalam keterujaan bergurau senda, terlupa nak ambil gambar lori kuning tu.....

uhhmmmm Udang Kuat, Udang Kuat, laju betul dia berdesup :{

Totally Lost

2010-06-17T02:56:00.008+08:00

I am ... so not me right.. since when??.. until now.

Oh my, Why I secluded myself..

Is that true for someone will become so obnoxious herself, for being like this, or because of, she not done anything significant hitherto.... it is so unforgivable.

Uhmmm .... abaikan.

Let’s make the night saucy and spicy.........
...... pizza anyone?? Oh, almost 3am already. Nasib baik pizza hut dah tutup time macam ni.

Would love to share my big wish with all of you....

I wish, I am strong enough to throw away my phone... having mobile phone never make me feel serene, if I have it with me... I have this weird guilty feeling, but if its not with me... I’m totally stranded... it’s worst than having facebook account... hhhaHa :D

... and i don’t think so my wish will come true, even if its lost someday, it will come back again...

Have a nice day, tomorrow and forever!!

Two Children among Five Killed in Two-Car Crash – Semporna, May 19th, 2010

Three Family Members Die in Head-on Collision – Hulu Selangor, May 30th, 2010

Student Dies after Kiosk Workers Refuse to Help – Cheras, June 4th, 2010

And today 9th June 2010, Pekan-Pahang
Six in Family Killed in Crash

I read this similar headline in New Straits Times, Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Kosmo even bought Harian Metro this afternoon.

And I just read the news halfway because I couldn’t hold my tears. What else to look at the pictures.

“Six in family killed in crash. The husband breakdown crying out loud calling his wife and his childrens’ name at mortuary house......”

My goodness. If I know the news will break me down too, I won’t care to read it.

Somehow, It reminds us that life can be too short to live.
And because of that I always told myself “Live to the Fullest, Awien....”
Too bad not most of the time I live to the fullest, maybe I never did.

To all drivers out there, please drive carefully.
Think about your loved one and others too.

Yesterday,

I had a great laugh while watching ‘Julie & Julia’.
To say it if its a good movie, I have no comment, all I can say ‘I did enjoy the movie on my own.’

But if you asking me “How am I, Today?”
I feel extremely good, I always feel this good after having a great weep over another movie until Rudy thought that I was crying over him or maybe over something else and insist me to tell him what happened and I told him ‘this movie made me cry’ and he’s not even believe it because he never seen me crying like so hard just because of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’.

I did cry because of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ and the last time I cried hard over a movie was ‘The Notebook’.

Does it prove enough the movie is worth to watch? Well, I don’t know, what about you?

Then I called mummy, remember the last few post. So, she asked me ‘How’s the doctor’s appointment? Is it going well? Is he giving you anything? Are you going to conceive soon?’

Hurrgggghhh!.... deep breathe. Paper Bag! Where’s the paper bag?!
Breathe In Breathe Out Breathe In Breathe Out.

I wish I could tell this to Mummy “Can you ask me again the same last question in two years more?” definitely I will be so proud with full of courage and enthusiast to say Yes... by then.

.... at the end of the phone call... “Mummy really don’t understand you lah?” she chuckled and I’m chuckling too because I had told her nothing besides than ‘We’re doing fine, you not to worry much.’

Uhmmm, how am I going to face her later on?

What a day and it’s still raining and it’s going to be a cold night.

Mari Bual-Bual - Part 3

2010-05-20T12:37:00.010+08:00

Just got back from Hospital Angkatan Tentera Tuanku Mizan at Wangsa Maju Section 2.

Well, saja je pergi sana for so call check up appointment but it happened in the otherwise, due to lack of self mental-preparation... some sort of... yet, I’m speechless about what I had been gone through since last week. Just keep it to myself then. No worries, I’m fine.

So, happen to be this time, I’d been advised to bring Rudy along, just for in case. So we waited there for my turn in couple of hours.

Me : Why Police don’t have this kind of benefits like their own hospital? They should have one.
Rudy : Polis di bawah KDN dan disokong penuh oleh kerajaan. So hospital kerajaan kan ada, pergi je lah sana.
Me : But same goes with ATM.
Rudy : Betul, walau macam mana pun ATM di bawah naungan Di Raja dan mereka berada di barisan hadapan dalam pertahanan negara.
Me : Ok (at this time I dah kepelikan) but Why ATM di bawah Tangga?
Rudy : perrff... hhhaha... apa lah you ni, bukan di bawah Tangga lah... di bawah naungan di Raja.

HHehehe... lawak pagi yg tak tersengaja. I guess couple beruniform kat belakang kitorang pun gelak dengar our topic.

Mind the stupid question. But that is what I heard ..the 'Ja' sounds like 'Ga'.... so the only word that I could catch up is Tangga... Isn't it weird ATM di bawah naungan Tangga?? I couldn't bear to imagine my younger time Ayah fully dressed in Navy uniform served his duty di bawah naugan 'tangga' demi keamanan negara... Hhahahahaha :D

That’s why I curiously asked again and I am fully satisfied with Rudy's laugh in return.

What a day ;)

Jom Jalan-Jalan Part 2

2010-05-02T17:54:00.003+08:00

continue from Jom Jalan-Jalan ....

did we buy the discounted tickets??

'
'
'
'
'
'
No.

and I felt little bit regret.... just for one thing... for not buying discounted ticket to Aquaria KLCC.... warggghhhh :{

Nevermind, we're planning something else later... Aquaria KLCC and KL Bird Park definitely on the lists for Jom Jalan-Jalan in the future.

Jom Jalan-Jalan

2010-04-24T01:35:00.008+08:00

Guess What??!

Petang semalam lepas balik kerja, Awien & Rudy pergi shopping di Jusco Au2... tang jalan-jalan rupanya kat Center Court Jusco --> KL Bird Park, Aquaria KLCC & Zoo Negara ada buka Booth Promosi-lah! Ho yeah Ho yeah!

Tak tahu lah sempena apa. Tapi cukup menarik perhatian... memandangkan kami ni teringin hendak melawat tempat2 ini, tapi TIDAK berkesempatan, maka kami pun mengambil kesempatan untuk melihat-lihat sahaja. Berikut adalah promosi yang diadakan :

* Harga diskaun ini HANYA boleh didapati di booth promosi KL Bird Park, Zoo Negara, Aquaria KLCC di Center Court Jusco Aeon AU2 bermula 23 - 25hb April 2010 ini sahaja.

Dengan itu, kami pun telah bercadang untuk membeli tiket-tiket promosi ini, maka tiada alasan bagi kami untuk tidak pergi melawat di hari kemudian sebelum luput tarikh tiket. Tiket dah beli takkan tak nak pergi kot... ye tak?

Tapi, pergi berdua sahaja?? Macam tak seronok, kan?

Persoalannya, Adakah kami telah membeli tiket2 promosi tersebut??

Tiba-tiba, Rudy mencadangkan sesuatu.....

Akan bersambung kemudian........

* * *

PS: Terlebih dahulu, Awien ingin memohon maaf JIKA terdapat sebarang kesilapan mengenai harga dan/atau informasi di atas. Ia amat dikesali. Ini hanyalah bertujuan untuk berkongsi pengalaman dan sedikit informasi yang sempat kami kumpulkan.

Kapal Ku Pecah?!

2010-04-21T23:54:00.000+08:00

Bukan kapal... tapi,

Rumah ku bak ~~syurga ku~~ kapal pecah ku... waarrgghahaha... issshhh... jangan buat andaian se’paku’lasi...

Yang dimaksudkan... dah berbulan-bulan rumah ni tidak berkemas kerana mengalami sindrom dirahsiakan, dah lah rumah ni rasa seperti ‘A Fuul House’, bukannya ‘Home Sweet Home’... so, I should do something to make it feels like ‘A Home’ again.

...dan akhirnya..... tak sangka Awien berjaya mengemas dan mencuci berseorangan diri hari ini.... ooo ya lupa, berikan tepukan gemuruh kepada Monty kerana turut membantu sebagai CQC aka Cleaner Quality Check.... habis semua sawang kat celah-celah dinding dan kotak disapunya dengan ekor bengkok-nya. Ho Yeah, Ho Yeah!!

Maka, satu misi ‘mari memasak 5+1 kali seminggu’ sejak berberapa bulan yg lalu – selesai,
dan misi ‘the beginning of rajin mengemas day’ juga – turut selesai,
dengan itu, diharapkan kedua-dua misi ini menjadi routine seharian mulai esok dan hari seterusnya...................

....errrkkk hari-hari?? bosan-nya!?.... :P

Ps: terkenang, macam mana lah our Super Housewife Mother boleh menghadap routine sebegini hari-hari... berikan tepukan gemuruh kepada mereka juga.. Ho Yeah Ho Yeah! :D

Teh Tarik Session with NeenaAnuar

2010-04-18T14:44:00.011+08:00

Wow, tajuk atas macam pergi teh tarik session dengan orang yang ala-ala terover glamour-lah.

* * *

Tanggal 17hb April, kami para bloggers dijemput oleh blogger Neena untuk menge-Teh bersama-sama Hasra dan pasangan masing-masing di Restoran Rasa Sayang... minum-minum teh tarik aje :D... tapi yang bestnya, sambil minum teh, kami dihidangkan dengan tiramisu sedap Hasra. ....dan.... murtabak yang macam roti canai ayam-lah?!

Anyway, it such a great treat dan berpeluang berkenalan dengan 3 orang bloggers yang baru pertama kali bersua-muka ;) Yanie, Iena dan Yus dengan pasangan masing-masing.

Banyak isu sensasi kami bualkan termasuk cerita terkini dari blog kami dan salah satunya, Yus menceritakan kisah sedih mengenai nasib anak-anak buahnya secara terperinci.

I couldn’t remember much what happen that moment may be because I’m too focusing trying to understand and trying hard not to miss anything (actually I did...hahaaa, sorry Yus) so then there’s a question that I need to confirm back.

Me : Yus... but then... why... why lupa... (masih mencari tajuk topiknya) why lupa du... (it’s not started with ‘du’.. macam mana nak sebut perkataan tu yer... yakin awien, yakin).. no, what I mean is macam mana pula boleh lupa duratan?!

Haaaaa... satu kelegaan, but still kena gelak. Rrrr. Luckily they understood me and so generous to make it right... well, it’s Lupa Daratan -lah!.

Still, there’s something else friends who be friend with me should know about me.

Maklumlah kalau orang bercerita, I definitely will keep asking why and how again and again. It’s not that I’m being kepochi, yet, apologise me for such behaviour if it’s annoying.

I had too because may be to you guys it’s not a serious matter but me it’s such a biggy problem for me having difficulty to absorb information and details in short time due to lack of hearing, concentration and environment factors. That’s why bila you all bercakap I must and need to fully concentrate, and at the end, Awien selalu jadi orang terakhir yang ketawa sebab nya baru faham.

It’s about timing. I need some time to understand so I won't get it wrong therefore I could fully enjoy whatever stories and details that I had been shared with.

Anyway a very big thank you to Neena & Anuar.
Happy Coming Soon Birthday to darling Neena too.
Cik Hasra, you're cake was so delish... keep the ordering book open yer, darling.
And thank you to Yanie, Iena and Yus! and to all beloved husbands too.
It’s such a wonderful and amusing evening.
Hope we’ll get to meet again in other session.

* * *

Tapi bila kita membuat analisis dengan kejadian-kejadian lepas...
...... Lenggang-kengkong.....
...... Lupa duratan .......
Ia seperti satu fenomena yang agak luar biasa ya.... :D

* * *

Ps: Alamak, tak de gambar lah kat sini... En. Rudy dah bawa gambar2 semua pergi Penang today :( definitely will post it on next entry.

Pencarian Yang Mengelirukan

2010-04-18T03:58:00.002+08:00

Bila baca tajuk kali ini dengan 'nada' ini, terasa seperti menonton animasi Doreamon, lah?! Apa kata anda cuba lagi sekali seperti penterjemah tajuk utama animasi Doraemon.... Pencarian Yang Mengelirukan.

* * *

Yang sebenarnya... selepas kejadian ini, rudy ada pernah katakan sebegini... ‘Aaa... jangan pandai-pandai pula you nak masukkan dalam blog apa I katakan tadi.’ Awien keliru sebenarnya antara statement itu dengan ekspresi-nya....

....3-4 weeks ago.

Rudy was studying and planning a future business prospect. Wow! gempak seh bunyi-nya!

For days and days, he’d been looking for a creative company name that started with ‘Eff’..... the letter F, lor.

Rudy : Sayang, mana you simpan diary you?

Me, kebingungan. (dlm hati : sejak bila pula I ada diary??... dan kenapa pulak I mesti kena bagitahu mana I simpan diary I, rahsia I - suka hati mana I nak simpan.... ke?... dia maksudkan organizer, kot?)...

Me: Aaaa... organizer I ada kat bawah tu... (agaknya ye lar kot... tapi, masih kebingungan dan terdiam memikirkan permintaan Rudy)

Rudy : (sambil mencari apa yang diinginkan dicelah-celah rak) Bbbuuukkkkannn, I cari diary. Mana you simpan DIARY you? Apa perkataan yang sesuai bermula dari 'F' untuk company name ni, your sugesstions?

Seperti spring terlepas dari tilam.. tttttoinggg.
Me : Kenapa pulak cari diary? Bukan sepatutnya you cari dictionary ke?
Rudy : aaaa.. Dictionary!... mana??

Jelas di wajah rudy hampir tergelak tapi dia menahan demi macho ke’serious’an-nya. Awien nak gelak pun agak tak jadi sebabnya awien keliru dengan statement dan ekspresi yang disampaikan. Yang pasti, jelas bibit senyuman kerang busuk Rudy. Bertambah keliru dibuatnya.

Jadi, patutkah awien kongsi dan ketawa sekarang? kerana...

I just couldn’t stop my mind from thinking (even now) about that incident with this thought.... ‘tak sangka pula sebutan diary dengan dictionary sama yer?’

:D tettt..ttetetetetttetettt

Mari Bual-Bual – Part 2

2010-04-11T02:41:00.019+08:00

Sabtu, hari malas memasak.
Tiba-tiba terasa nak makan pizza sangat-sangat.

Sedang menikmati pizza-cheesy-lava dengan cili tabasco.
Sambil memerhati jauh di bahagian sebelah sana – di mana anak-anak muda sedang menyambut harijadi entah ke berapa tahun.
Melihat Mascot Keju berlegar-legar mengusik pengunjung terutamanya anak-anak kecil... agaknya macam tu kot sebahagian business marketing yang ideal...

Berbalik semula kisah menyambut hari jadi, sungguh meriah melihat anak-anak ini menari mengikut rentak Macarena.... Heeeeey Macarena AAAhAA!

Selepas anak-anak ini menyanyikan lagu harijadi dalam versi empat bahasa ... Melayu, Inggeris, Cina, and India.... aaa.. seronok mendengarnya... sungguh 1Malaysia-lah!, mereka pun mendendangkan dengan kuatnya lagu Can't Fight the Moonlight sebagai penutup acara...

Rudy : Fulamak! lagu dari filem Coyote Ugly, nanti download movie ni, ingatkan I, yer.
Me : Apa?!....... aaa lagu ni!... lagu dari Toyota Ugly!... ok! (dengan yakinnya, yang sebenarnya I kurang dengar dengan apa Rudy cuba katakan but I understood his excitement as he enjoyed those loud music.)

Rudy terdiam kepelikkan,
and I did feel something missing there for sure but what was it, eh?

Me : Bukan ke filem Toyota Ugly tu membosankan?!... (masih yakin)
Rudy : Sayang, bukan Toyota Ugly... it’s Coyote Ugly-lah!

Dua-dua bertepuk dahi menahan makanan dari tersembur dari mulut.
Ya, lawak tak tersengaja di petang hari.

* * *

Hope they not sue me, I really don’t mean it... blame the loud music...
I Love Toyota!! (erk :{ tiba-tiba aje).

Pengajaran di sini :-
Jangan berkata apa-apa ketika makan yang mana menunya disertakan musik kuat berkumandangan.
Ini bagi mengelakkan perbualan yang sukar didengari dengan jelas yang mana boleh membuatkan kita tergelak besar hingga mengganggu pelanggan-pelanggan yang lain dan juga boleh mengakibatkan sindrom tercekik.

No matter what, we enjoyed our lunch ;) ... Its Delish and ~~Amazing~~ Amusing! Heee :D

* * *
PS: Apologise me for the exclamation marks as I had too to fight for my soft voice with loud music.

Another Disturbing Night

2010-03-26T14:44:00.009+08:00

It’s different this time...

* * *

It was a dark dark night. I was running near somewhere to catch something important, but there’s something white swooshed across in front of me. I could see her very clear and she’s looking straight at me with those big black eerie eyes...

* * *

My Sayang : (stunning to see me standing in front of him) Ussshh, apasal tiba2 ni?
Me : .... mmmmh.... what’s the time now? (in fuzzy mind & disturb)
My Sayang : 3.15am. You ok? Kenapa you tetiba bangun dari tidur ni?
Me : ... mmmmh... I see ghost....

...he lay down next to me, yet, I couldn’t sleep...
...whenever I tried to close my eyes, I could see her...
...why she still there, watching me, if she's not for real?...

KeBiasaan... kalau berbual dengan my sayang... dia selalu jadi jurubahasa melayu Awien... dan sebaliknya Awien menjadi jurubahasa inggeris pada my sayang...

Baru2 ini, kami berbual mengenai pasaraya kegemaran ketika dalam perjalanan ke Tesco... well, sejak JJ dah dekat rumah... agak kerap jugak kami ber-shopping di sana... tapi pada hari tu... terasa macam nak shopping di Tesco pula.

My Sayang : selain JJ... mana lagi you suka...
Me : I do have fav place to shop... Carrefour Ampang... suka shopping sana lepas kerja... (memandangkan hari selasa & jumaat kerja setengah hari)
My Sayang : Tak de yang jauh lagi ker?... Nape you suka gi sana? Nape kita tak gi sana?
Me : Ni dah nak petang, dah lah Jalan Ampang tu sarat... kalau you tak ikut, memang I dah terus ke sana dari Kumon tengah hari tadi. Nak tahu nape I suka... sebab I boleh jalan lenggang kengkong kat sana. (dengan confidentnyer berkata2 siap bergaya).
My Sayang : Warrghahaha... bukan lenggang kengkong lah sayang... lenggang kangkong...

* * *

Di hari yang sama pada waktu malam dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah... singgah sebentar di McD Sungai Besi. Tetiba pula teringin nak makan bubur ayam. Sambil selak2 The Star, di bahagian tayangan pawagam..

My Sayang : eh mamat ni... siapa yer namanyer?
Me : Robert Pat.
My Sayang : Haaa... ni lah mamat yg berlakon cerita twitter kan... (dengan bangga dan yakinnya sebab dia baru selesai menonton saga ni)
Me : (Hampir nak gelak) Bukan twitter Yang, Twilight.

Masak/Cooking

2010-03-11T11:56:00.004+08:00

Note: This event happens almost everyday...

In 2 mins ago, in the kitchen while preparing for lunch....

Ayah said... “don’t cook so much... cook for Rudy... don’t worry about Ayah...”

10 mins later, at the same spot...

Rudy said... “ayang masak?... the most important part is cook for Ayah... don’t worry about me. ”

Me??.... snap in silent, what about me? No one to help me here? ...“Uhhm whatever.”...

Later, at the same spot...

Me ring-ring on the phone... “Hazri! come back home... I cooked for you.” (tiba-tiba pula Hazri interprem)

At the end, I’m not sure I should cook for whom as they had different taste...
With 2 and a half men in the house (yang ‘half’ tu jarang2 ada kat rumah),
to keep their stomach singing happily instead drumming in rummaging beats,
even thou I hate cooking, but I do realise I must cook,
still, it’s a pleasure to see them full by the end of the day.

* * *

Ini baru mereka berdua sahaja... esok lusa keluar ahli-ahli baru... macam mana lah agaknya... mari merenung masa depan.... YIKES!! :_D

PS: Penat tau fikir nak masak apa. tension tergolek.

Dinner at Terowong

2010-02-16T23:52:00.003+08:00

Awien telah berjanji sesuatu pada Rudy semalam.

Today, mid-afternoon.

Rudy : Sayang, aaaa.... jom kita gi... apa nama tempat tu.. alaaaa lupa lah... bunyi macam terowong? Ala terowong dalam bahasa inggeris ape ye?
Me : Ape ye Yang, terowong? (buat-buat tak tahu)... Tunnel, Yang.
Rudy : Bukan... ada lagi satu... you ni saje je buat-buat tak tahu.
Me : (Buat-buat tak faham)... betullah terowong tu tunnel... you ni nak gi terowong mana ni? Terowong Penchala Link? Bentong?
Rudy : Terowong... Terowong... ( masih mencari jawapan tepat )

Jam 6 petang.

Me : Yang, jom gi terowong. Terowong mana you nak pergi tadi? Kalau Terowong Penchala Link, haaa boleh lah kita ke Ikea. (buat muka tak bersalah)
Rudy : You ni saje tau... (merajuk sampai ke maghrib)

* * *

As my promise we went there for dinner, Subways.
Tuesday specialty, Subways Tuna Sandwich as what he’s looking forward to since yesterday ;)

Delish!

Apabila Ia Benar-Benar Berlaku

2010-02-09T22:40:00.008+08:00

‘Tension Tergolek’ adalah satu frasa yang sering kali digunakan apabila berlakunya sesuatu perkara yg tidak memuaskan.

Ia TIDAK lah bermaksud yang Awien akan tergolek-golek baik dilantai mahu di mana sahaja bila setiap kali berada dalam keadaan tension. Ia hanyalah satu luahan ketidakpuasan hati.

Tetapi sesuatu telah berlaku di petang hari tadi ketika membeli-belah barangan dapur, di mana I benar-benar tergolek! kerana sedikit tensi dengan 'arahan' my sayang.

Arahannya, “Sayang nah tutup ironing board ni, I ambil yg lain.”

Tidak sampai 2 saat... !!Kedebup!!... bukan sahaja tergolek... malah terhempap dan kaki ku tersepit dengan kaki ironing board... boleh tak?!... sebab tu Awien takut naik motor ~ agaknya macam tu lah rupa Awien kalau tersepit kat motor (tetiba aje cerita pasal motor)...

Mata disekeliling memandang terkejut... nasib baik cuma ada 2-3 orang sahaja yang memandang... yang pasti mereka bukan sahaja terkejut malah tersenyum sinis pada tuan punya diri yang tergolek bersama ironing board... termasuk my Sayang tersenyum kambing.

Apa I boleh buat?... Gelak aje lah... Uhmm, tension tergolek tau :P...

* * *

Teringat kata-kata seorang kawan yang sedang berehat sebulan dirumahnya.... Sakit itu Indah... cukup powerful kata-kata itu membuatkan segala sakit di kaki ni hilang serta merta...

and thanks to my sayang for a scoop of Baskin Robbins.

Another Perception about Maths

2010-01-25T01:40:00.008+08:00

Caught a student cheating on self-marking. I am neither angry nor disappointed because it’s the nature way of learning. But I did advise her which eventually and generally inspired me too....

Mathematics is all about Life.

Whatever we do, it’s always involved with calculations that required accuracy even for a simple task.
But what IF we take it for granted?
Then I realise the possibility, it may cause harm not to me but to others as well.
So I share my thoughts with the student.
Besides than accuracy, we need to be true to ourselves in every aspect.

I feel glad that she got my point.

“Miss, thank you for your advice. I needed that because I don’t want to go jail in future.”

“Go to jail?? Explain to me.”

“Like what you said, IF someday, I become an Engineer or Accountant, and just because I want to get everything to be done on time, so I just simply do and what IF I wrongly calculate or cheat on whatever task given to me. And suddenly something gone wrong at the end which can be avoided.... I guess... I am not a strong person to bear the consequences.... I will be more careful and I won’t cheat anymore.”

“That’s good for you and for all of us. It’s ok to make mistake as part of learning process, so next time you’ll be more aware.”

* * *

Note:
The objectives of self-marking are to encourage students to self-assessment and motivate them to be self-discipline. It’s part of Life Skills.

Ps: Anything could be about Life and Mathematics is one of them.

I'm a Part-Timer Fire-Fighter

2010-01-16T02:12:00.002+08:00

Then, What should I do....??
nooo, that’s not the question...

Burn... He did it again and again and again... Nope, not my Hubby or my Fathers or my Brothers... It’s about the Neighbour’s husband. The neighbour who complained regards Monty's misbehaviour.

I admit sometimes my father did the same thing especially when I'm not around but not as frequent as this.

Till Today,

Unbelievable! It had been 3 days and 3 nights in a row I had inhaled Carbon from the burning woods that he burn outside the house. And each time I had to be a fire-fighter! Well, I did that when he’s not around. Somehow, he didn’t get the point or was he pretending not to be bothered the message of air pollution??

and this leads to big confusion with..... His reason ~ to get rid the mosquitoes!?
Urrgghh, maybe I should get Shieldtox hampers for them.

*Uhhmmm*
Since talking to the husband was not working, perhaps I should talk to the wife when the time is right. I hope the discussion will end well, so that I can resign peacefully from the 'part-time' job. Good Luck to me.

What a MONKEY!!

2010-01-13T09:30:00.007+08:00

Not man monkey or man man monkey.
I’m talking about Real Monkey up there on our ROOF!
Where does it come from?
Which forest it comes from?
There’s no forest around here anymore until the last part had been chopped off to make ways for new school on hill top next to the highway a month ago.

Pity the monkey, looking for food on cloudy morning.
Hope it will survive for another day.

This incident remind me a story
“There's A Hippopotamus On Our Roof Eating Cake” by Hazel Edwards

I've got no idea how the hippopotamus ends up on the roof but it's interesting story to read pleasurely with a piece of chocolate cake.

The Drizzle Saved Their Lawn

2010-01-13T00:52:00.005+08:00

Got a complaint from the neighbour, Monty had been caught pooping at their unattractive lawn but the unattractive lawn seems so desirable to Monty. After all these while I thought he pooped at his special shrub out there. How not good he is.

And how am I going to stop him fooling around? Bite his crooked tail!

So whenever he went there, I sprayed him until he gave up. What a weakness - he doesn’t like rain so its end there and back to his own new loo which is a pile of dried leaves.

It’s good enough at the moment.

Oh yeah, Happy Belated New Year ;)

2009-12-20T02:04:00.001+08:00

Silent at the moment until things going smooth.

Keep Counting

2009-10-01T12:58:00.004+08:00

Wake up in the morning.
Look at the mirror...
Hey I’m 28.

Aiyo... so pale...
There are fine aging lines
near my little dimple.
Keep smiling...
Hate that crooked eye brow but I like the other one.
Over plucked... yikes!
My crown is getting longer...
against my shoulder.
Wish it red as scarlet with loose baby curl...
Dare me, as scarlet is my dream.
Wondering,
Will Rudy snip his long jet-black locks?
...as his promise, once upon a time ago...
But I like his...

Silently looking at the mirror...
I’m 28...
When will I be ready?
...for bigger life.

I'm Beaming :))

It’s All In Our Hands to Live In Peace and In Honesty

2009-09-09T02:17:00.007+08:00

In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and in honesty.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.

In my fantasy I see a bright world,
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.

Dari Satu Perlumbaan, Terus Ke Hati

2009-08-23T02:28:00.011+08:00

Again, tagged by Neena. Enjoy reading! :)

How to tell this... I met Rudy accidentally. It’s around 2004.

* * *

Suatu malam, Za telefon. Suara yang agak kerisauan. Kebetulan Mummy & Papa ada tetamu di rumah. Dengan mudahnya meminta izin untuk meminjam Kelisa Kuning. Jam menunjukkan 9.45pm.

Terus memandu ke Pantai Dalam, tiba-tiba Za berkata "Stop!... Nak beli makanan, panadol and 100 plus untuk Lee." Maka, berhentilah kami di kedai berdekatan. Setiba di rumah sewa Lee, dibiarkan Za menemani Lee di ruang makan… Awien menunggu di ruang tamu, sambil menonton TV. Lee ketika itu sangat tidak sihat. Mungkin kerana kejadian kelmarin. Serba salah Awien dibuatnya.

Alamak, lagi 15 minit pukul 12 pagi, it‘s near to our curfew. Cepat-cepat. Kami pun bersiap pulang. Sepanjang Jalan Tun Razak, melihat meter sudah mencapai tahap kelajuan 120-130 km/j. Berdesup keluar dari susur keluar Celcom. Membelok laju ke kiri bagai tiada apa yang akan menghalang perjalanan kami. Tiba di lampu isyarat pertama sebelum membelok ke Jalan Perumahan Gurney. Tiba-tiba...

“Apa hal lah kereta Kelisa Merah kat belakang ni rapat sangat?”
“Ish, careful Awien… mana tahu road bully.” Ya, memang dimusim itu, radio dan tv sibuk menghebahkan kisah road bully.

Melihat dari pantulan cermin hadapan, ternampak si pemandu dalam kebengangan dan kebingungan. Raut wajahnya seolah-olah berkata pada dirinya sendiri, “Lajunya minah ni bawak kereta, tak puas hati ni, kena cucuk rapat ni. Pastikan minah ini tidak lari dari pandangan.”

Hahahaha, hati yang notty notty ini sudah berdekah-dekah kuat. Tapi... Entah kenapa ia berdetik, berbekalkan kepercayaan naluri, “I want to be friend with this guy.” Satu kegilaan. Adakah Awien telah jatuh hati dipandangan pertama? Hanya dari cermin pantulan hadapan???

Lampu Hijau. Terus memecut laju. Nampaknya dia masih mengekori rapat... jelas dari cermin hadapan dia seolah-olah tidak puas hati dengan pemanduan Awien. Sempat menjeling ke kanan, Za menahan dirinya dengan rapi di kiri kanan tempat duduknya. “Careful” itulah pesanannya.

Setiba dirumah Za, dia masih mengekori. Jelas diwajah Za akan kerisauannya, dengan tegas menyuruh awien pulang segera dengan selamat.

Terus memecut laju, Kelisa Merah itu berusaha mengejar. Tapi kenapa dia tidak memberhentikan Awien, hanya mengekori sahaja. Jelas keseronokannya. Me too having fun. Tepat jangkaan Awien, he‘s not a road bully.

Hampir di Apartment, ia tidak berhenti disitu sahaja. Dengan mengikut naluri hati dan juga keselamatan, Awien berhenti berdekatan pondok Guard. Kelisa Merah turut berhenti di seberang jalan. Hati mentah ini masih berkira-kira, sama ada, terus masuk atau sebaliknya. Melihat di cermin sisi kanan, jelas dia juga seperti mengharapkan sesuatu. Tingkap diturun, melambai ke arah Kelisa Merah. Jelas wajahnya penuh kejutan...

* * *

Masih berada di dalam kereta, si pemandu Kelisa Merah menghampiri.

“Hi, assalammualaikum, jom kita gi minum, saya belanja.”
He looks geeky, dark skin, tall, sweet and sincere, he speaks softly too.
“Why not, kat mana?”
“Ish, tak pe ke? Mak awak tak marah ke? Ni dah lewat ni.”
Jam menunjukkan hampir pukul 1 pagi.
“Tak pe kot, I think they slept already.”
Jauh disudut hati kerisauan, hopefully mummy tak kunci pintu dari dalam. Kang ada yang tidur kat dalam kereta. Hati ini tetap berdegil.
“ Kita jumpa di Jumma.”

Di situlah bermula detik perkenalan kami. Dia tidak banyak bercakap, hanya memerhati dan mendengar. Di perkenalkan dirinya sebagai Basa.

But I don’t like to call him Basa, its weird, dengan secara rasmi, Awien telah menukar nama panggilannya kepada Rudy, tepat 12 jam selepas perkenalan dan ia kekal ke hari ini.

* * *

Bila dia melamar? - 2 minggu selepas perkenalan.. Terus dibawa berjumpa ibubapanya. Dan keesokkanya Rudy berjumpa dengan Mummy and Papa. Tak dinafikan ia satu berita yang mengejutkan. Seminggu kemudian, Mak dan Abah Rudy bertemu Mummy and Papa.

Perkenalan yang cukup singkat. November 2004, kami mengikat tali pertunangan. 5 March 2005, kami disatukan dengan selamat. Hingga ke hari ini masih mengenali antara satu sama lain. Aneh sekali, tiada kepura-puraan antara satu sama lain. Satu hubungan yang penuh dengan keikhlasan.

Mungkin inilah dikatakan jodoh. Ia hadir tanpa prejudis.

2004.minggu pertama dari tarikh perkenalan

July 2009

p.s.: He much fairer nowadays rather than the first time I met him.

To Neena, bila tengok gambar Nuar masa muda-muda dalam Episod: Our Loves Chronology. Tersenyum dibuatnya... mengingatkan Awien how geeky Rudy was masa first time jumpa.

If I Could Do Something About It

2009-08-21T03:14:00.002+08:00

Speechless...
Worried...
Weeping...
would be good if I had those supernatural power... or whatever it is...
that can turn the world 'around'.Better.

It Just a Chocolate

2009-08-19T14:17:00.006+08:00

It’s reality... I agree with one of commenter... our heart is pure but the environment make us living in prejudicial.

It does happen to me… with much older Chinese lady. I just asking but don’t know why she suddenly snap on me. I do feel upset with it but luckily recover the hurt part by saying politely “Nevermind Aunty, I’m sorry, Thank you.” and before I leave the clinic I told her that she looks lovely in kebaya. She didn’t say anything, but the face...

One of the assistant giggled at her. I heard the assistant said “Aunty, next time, don’t throw your tantrum like no one cares. Don‘t you suppose to say thank you for her compliment?”... I just leave her, probably she’s not in good mood but I know deep down in her she might feel bad about it. But it‘s ok.

The Long Way Tag

2009-08-18T23:13:00.017+08:00

Received this from Neena... and most of my answers similar to her. I think to most women. It’s extra normal to feel happy for shopping, holiday, eating out, family, husband, children and so on. This time, I will try to do it more interesting than no one might expected from me.

I Feel Happy, When...

- I’m super happy with big smiles, with those chocking laughs, funny faces and talk funny. Rudy found it Amusing and Wild. He always praise me -> it would be extremely great if Awien always be happy all the time, it makes him full... burppp.

COPY AWARD That You Had Received in Your Blog...

- Do I receive one? Mmmmmm... Can this considered as award??

I know, it’s not an award... but it’s the loveliest tribute that I received from Has. Thank you dear ;)

And no... I didn’t receive any award that compliment my blog… may be it’s too boring... Who cares. But guess what, I have a big fan here besides Rudy... it’s my dearie G-da :P

Tell 6s Interesting Facts about The Award Giver...

Since I didn’t receive any award from anyone... lets tell 6 interesting facts about the person who tagged me... Neena.

I just met Neena with other Hardcore Bloggers twice. Whatever you read here about this lady... Be alert! I’m not trying to be nicey-nice here. It's habit for me to observe people in their best quality. So this is what I see in her...

- Hah, She does look like KAJOL!! And have beautiful flawless skin and those cat eyes shining like north star ;)
- It’s true, she’s outspoken and bold. Funny Funny too that can cost (not cause) her very LOUD laughs.
- I’m curious how she keeps her perfect poise in front of camera all-the-time... Mmmmm?? Encik Nuar... make sure you fully use your D90... Hhhehe.. She deserves the best pictures from your magic click...
- She had started blogging early in this year and I just got to know her since last 2 months through Has and Cida‘s links.
- Reading from her blog, obviously she’s an urbanite.
- The best quality about her that I notice, she is a caring and thoughtful person.

Tell 9 Facts and Hobbies about Yourself...

- Blogging is one of my hobbies. I established this blog since September 2006 as I have so many thoughts to share about everything that come across me from life, love, feelings, friends, families, experiences, cats... just anything but not more than that. That’s why it was called Awien’s Thought. You won’t get the whole stories about me here.

Almost 90% of Awien’s Thought wrote in English. I knew it’s not perfect but always looking for ways to improve and it‘s practical. I write faster in English rather in Bahasa Melayu... somehow I am very particular about the appliance of both languages.

- Live to The Fullest is my favourite quote for me to stay positive and optimist, and I complied it to everyone when its necessary.
- Being polite is what I treasured most.
- A very tiny pinch of salt make me feel happy - too :).

- I’m not a teacher, I’m a Students Assistant who assist students who need guiding in Maths and English. But they called me Teacher Nurul and I do have teaching permit from MOE.

- After 3 years observing Rudy’s work, I started my creativity skills in Video Editing in October 2008 and my first client is one of Rudy’s friend. Since then, its become my 2nd job. Until today I had done 26 events + 2 coming soon, and still learning to progress. A big Thank You to Kak Syida from MCP for giving me this opportunity. So in love as it makes me feel contented.

- I learn music and played Yamaha Electon Organ when I was 6 years old. Since then, music is my 3rd language. From year 1993 till 2000, I become 2nd oboist in Youth Symphony Orchestra and had performed twice in year 1997 at Kompleks Budaya Negara (before transferred to IB, now it had changed to ASWARA) and year 2000 at Istana Budaya.

I’m the worst oboist in woodwind section because of lack of practices. I stop playing since 6 years ago… but sometimes I’ll pluck my old classical guitar when no one around. Now, I’m looking forward to start it again… I will enroll in classical guitar classes, soon.

- I don’t like KFC chicken as it made me nausea and felt like my throat been filled up with its oily FAT under its crunchy skin. So this is what I eat when I accompany Rudy or anyone at KFCs.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." -Michael Pollan writer of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

- Lastly, my first name have 3 words plus 2 words of my father’s name. Altogether have 23 letters. Rudy had hard time to practice the pronunciation of my name before akad nikah 4 years ago. It will be 5 in march 2010.

Choose 10 Awards Nominators and Describe about Them...

10?? I don’t have awards to give. But it would be good for others to be tagged too. I choose only these 2 persons.

1. Didie Diana - I know you read my blog... I guess you trying to keep in touch in silent way. What happen to all of us? Why and What make us drifted apart? Is it because of the past, all the untrue speculations? Too bad, both side only listen to one side only. Let’s bygones be bygones. Anyway, Didie Diana is my long lost cousin from Singapore. She has a blog. So why not I tag her ;) I guess this is the best way to start with keeping in touch again.

2. Angah aka Erin - She’s my sister boyfriend’s sister. She also had hard time to update... Probably she just done it pleasurely. So I give you an assignment to do dear. Good Luck.

* * *

p/s: Thanks Neena for tagging me... now you know how simple I am ;)cheriosss. mmuuahhs.

Missing in Other Action

2009-08-17T02:32:00.007+08:00

I feel very please and ENVY at the same time to see other ‘blogger-blogger tegar’ (hardcore bloggers) had so much time to update their blog every day... I wish I could do the same, not every day but at least couple or three updates a week.

Too bad I couldn’t commit myself to do so, as I have other commitment to settle first especially for the past whole month. Yes I agree, it can take just few minutes to update but I preferred not to do so as it can be distracting. So now ‘am free at the moment. Welcome me back. hhaha.

So where had I been and what’s made me so busy since last month until yesterday?

I’m here at home as usual. As a freelance video editor, I received quite amount of events to be edited. But last month, besides than 2 urgent tasks, I received another events that needed me to be super distinct rather than usual.

Malay’s wedding is not that hard to tackle in with good choice of music but not for this one particular client who is an urbanite living in high expectation. Alhamdulillah, I managed to handle it which cost me acnes breakout and smelly hair days.

Today, I feel relief as I’m back on track and looking forward my Monday and beloved students...

Anyway, a very big thank you to all of you who never giving up to drop by here.

To blogger-blogger tegar... I didn’t get to leave my personal comment after reading yours… sooooo…

To Has, regards episode 2 and 3... at last you did the right thing, we here fully support you. 5th and 6th... still in shock!!! And still dalam mode “biar confirm“ hhahahaha :D glad to hear that... seems like everybody happy for both of you... petanda he’s your destiny tu ;)

To Cida, about your blog I understand you’re writing it in informal way BUT you are a very good storyteller... DON’T GIVE UP... biarlah orang nak cakap apa… alangkah bagusnya kalau awien seberani macam Cida. BTW, jaga diri baik-baik… maklumlah, I heard women in maternity are prone to H1N1.

To Neena, where’s your next holiday destination? Hahaha... best gak baca entry neena n deqna gi holiday... rasa cam kita pun gi bercuti gak. Hangpa saja jer hantar tag kat kita…sampai la ni kita masih tak habis-habis buat draft tag tu... Hhehe. Btw thank you for sharing pictures masa wedding cida... lovely.

To Deqna, welcome back to FB, active-active kan lah diri anda kat sana yer... and send our good luck wish to shah for black belt :Dheee

To Ijat, I didn’t get the right words to say this as most of it already mention in fb… just stay positive ok. Good for you changing the url link... no more pet name... be proud with yours ;)

To Angah, not sure what had happen to you - sounded very sad lately... be strong girl...

To other silent readers... Wish all of you "Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan"... and stay healthy ;)

Kata2 hikmah Mummy malam ini...

.....Biarkan mereka, yg pasti kita tahu apa yang kita buat dan walaupun kita terlewat sedikit pastikan tetap berpegang pada janji. Tak mengapa kita merendah diri, sekurang-kurang kita masih ada sikap menghormati untuk kebaikan jiwa dan rohani... ingat... susah senang macam mana sekalipun --- sentiasa berpijak di atas bumi....

Ibu Cantik Lahir Anak Perempuan Menawan

HELSINKI - Satu kaji selidik mendapati wanita cantik cenderung untuk melahirkan anak perempuan lebih cantik berbanding ibunya manakala kitaran itu berterusan daripada satu generasi kepada satu generasi, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Kajian oleh seorang penyelidik dari Universiti Helsinki iaitu Markus Jokela menyatakan wanita cantik melahirkan lebih ramai anak terutamanya anak perempuan berbanding wanita yang kurang cantik.

Dalam kajiannya, Jokela menggunakan data melibatkan 1,244 wanita dan 997 lelaki dari Amerika Syarikat selama empat dekad.

Sepanjang kaji selidik itu dilakukan, gambar setiap responden dirakamkan bagi menilai kecantikan fizikal mereka manakala jumlah anak yang mereka miliki turut direkodkan.
Beliau mendapati wanita cantik memiliki 16 peratus lebih ramai anak berbanding wanita yang kurang cantik.

Contoh-contoh jelas kaji selidik itu termasuk selebriti wanita yang memiliki anak perempuan yang cantik.

Model terkenal, Jerry Hall memiliki dua anak perempuan yang cantik iaitu Elizabeth dan Georgia Jagger.

Anak perempuan model terkenal, Yasmin Le Bon iaitu Amber turut memiliki wajah yang cantik.

Bagaimanapun, kaji selidik yang sama mendapati perubahan tersebut tidak berlaku kepada kaum lelaki. - Agensi

What a 'funny' article. Yes, I agree with science if it had to do with genetics, cycles, timing, hormones, food intakes and accuracy that involves with man and woman.

But this is nonsense. It’s all about Life Style. The children become pretty because mom loves to play dressed up. And definitely they will do anything to make their daughters look prettier every day like she is even before they born.

You Take Me The Way I Am Like No One Else

2009-07-18T03:11:00.013+08:00

While compile the love binding
Will this suite to what I’m doing?

The more I listen
It starts to twig me
it seems never stop
that cost me a warm tear.
Those delightful memories
I could feel
close to touch
as it past briefly
Like an old film.
Those smiles I used to have
Laughing at your words
Kiss you unstoppable until nothing left for tomorrow.
Where had it gone?
Where the sweet kisses had gone?
Softly you whispered to my ear
Longing for answers.

Something else had driven me away silently....
But Love,
no worries.
my love always present for you
As long as you be there
cherish for the way I am.

Agaknya, betullah bulan Julai, bulan dugaan... kerana itu membuatkan Awien teringat dengan apa yang telah berlaku pada bulan Julai, di tahun yang lepas-lepas.

Untuk tahun ini, alhamdulillah mungkin belum masanya untuk Awien. Tetapi, bila melihat kawan-kawan & keluarga tersayang mengalaminya... membuatkan Awien insaf dan tersedar untuk menjadi lebih kuat, sentiasa menyokong dan bersedia untuk menghadapinya.

Bak kata Mummy, setiap dugaan ada hikmah disebaliknya. Sentiasa bersyukur biar apa sekali pun diberi-Nya.

Orang Kaya yang Suka Bergaya, TAPI.....

2009-07-09T10:36:00.013+08:00

8.05am, dalam perjalanan menghantar Rudy ke tempat kerjanya melalui Duke-Bangsar ke Mid Valley.

My Sayang : Uishhh Kereta apa tu keluar asap berkepul-kepul warna hitam?? Kereta Beamer yer?

Me : Ye sayang kereta beamer dari Johor…

My Sayang : Mesti kereta dia pakai diesel…

Me : It’s beamer BMW 530 series D… and D mean diesel.

My Sayang : Hitam gila asap nya…

Me : Apa ka? Orang kaya ni?? Duit banyak, takkan lah pakai kereta mahal beratus ribu-raban TAPI guna minyak diesel. Ni mesti takat pakai kereta mahal janji bergaya. Tak MESRA ALAM sungguh.

My Sayang : Sejak bila you jadi environmentalist ni??

Me : Sejak I shopping kat Jusco guna beg pakai-semula. Apa barang guna beg plastik.. :P

My Sayang : HahaHAhaha...!! you nie lawaklah. Sayang you.

* * *

Ok, I’m not showing off pula tetiba jadi pencinta alam. It’s all started sejak I tengok Home in our national TV couple months ago and Last month, when I bought our monthly groceries at Carrefuor Ampang, the cashier used too many plastic bags to pack my things and her action gave me jolts of panic attacks.. “Wow girl, please not use too many plastic bag. Dalam ni boleh masuk lagi, let me help you. We should reduce using plastic bag, girl.”

So, since that I nekad untuk menjadi seorang yang bertanggungjawab terhadap alam sekitar. But believe me it’s NOT not that easy to do as it needs LOT lots of effort. However, I will work it out somehow starting from simple action.

Yes, Malaysia Boleh! Awien pun boleh. :D

* * *

ps: since then, I always keep my recycle bags in my car for next shopping trip, and I’m proud of my action. Any rewards for me?? Hhahha ;D

Go Green and Clean
Preserving your environment in the bag

Nak Buah Bali?

2009-07-05T13:38:00.004+08:00

We're going to Ipoh again in half an hour!!! Sent off my BIL to PGA Ulu Kinta. Guess what, he’d been posted to IPD Pendang Kedah, and will start his first duty as Konstabel Pelatih tomorrow.

Will update more about this.

Yes, my main agenda while on the way to Ipoh... Buah Bali!!!!

Gas Cooker as Birthday Present??

2009-07-05T03:37:00.019+08:00

June 26, 2009.

Mummy’s birthday is on 27th June, but we send off her present 8 hours earlier as we had to drive to Ipoh at the same night. This birthday present is actually mainly from G-da and part from me; with My Sayang's help too... Rudy bought new set of Milux Clip-On Single Gas Regulator as for his MIL’s present. How nice he is. :D

It’s Zanussi Free-Standing Gas Cooker with Oven model ZCG-840W. Cashed from Court Mammoth with 3 years warranty and the biggest present we ever bought for her. She deserves it. At least she can bake cakes and a lot of cookies like she used to. I miss her Caramel Custard Cake.

It looks smaller than the one in our old kitchen (where I’m staying with Ayah now), but I love the design very much, sleek and cute too. Yes, it does really easy to clean and suitable for someone who loves to cook and bake daily.

Before we left to Ipoh, we dropped by at Mummy’s house. Had a great chit chat and dinner together with Papa and Mummy. Received long distance call from G-da.

It’s funny when Papa told us that he’d chased away the delivery man 3 times as he thought the man had wrongly delivered to their house. Mummy did surprise… but Papa was the one who most surprise and excited about it and asked mummy to bake cake on the spot. Funny it is for the first time I’d seen Papa excited about something and so do My Sayang Rudy... over excited, tau. :D

Thanks G-da for willing to share with me and the rest is already in process ;) Well our 2 years efforts right... heee ;)

* * *

This Free Standing Gas Cooker is belonged to our old Kitchen. I don’t know what’s the model is until mummy informed that it’s an old model of Zanussi too and it’s already 26 years old as same age as G-da and still using it.

See on top of it, I just baked 2 Marble Butter Cakes yesterday evening. It’s for Mak and her Sister (Mak Nyah) who’d come from Kedah 3 days ago. Yup, she will bring back the cake to Kedah today.

And the new one is in Mummy’s Kitchen. I’m not sure how long it can last, but I know mummy will take good care of it.

Another Laughable Night

2009-07-02T01:00:00.010+08:00

It’s 12.18am. Just got back from Bora Ombak. Too bad I don’t have any pictures to share here as I didn‘t bring my antique camera. Girls,… you know who I’m talking about… pleaseeeee send me pictures here, huhuhu.

Every details will have to go through 10 and half layer QC inspections which is me, Neena & hubby, Deqna & Hubby, Cida & Zamani, Ana Izzati, Za & Lee…. Oh, the half part is Darwisy for ‘baby confidential QC‘.

The most enjoyable moment… I danced with 3 months old Darwisy… we do Pocho-Pocho!! and I was sweating like heavy rain, and my heart pumping like a wild river and Darwisy??... he was drifted away.

For most of all, it’s really great to see all of you guys, honestly I’m speechless. Somehow, I’m looking forward to the next agenda.

So, will update more. Thanks guy for what ever it is. I never know that I do have great friends around me :D

* * *

Guess what, while chit-chating, i've been tagged by everyone up there.. 'How do I met my Sayang'. Will do it in next post.

Another Healthy Young Day

2009-06-29T12:55:00.007+08:00

My goodness, it’s been 2 weeks just lazing around. Even though last week for the whole one week our center had to be closed ordered by HQ and MOH due to some of our students schooling in Davidson and Sri Cempaka, still I didn’t get to spend some time to finish up my overdue video editing.

About Davidson and Sri Cempaka students in our center, even though they had to be self-quarantine luckily they are all healthy and so the rest of other students. Thank goodness NONE of them got swine.

Today is the beginning of our fresh start. Center will be opened as usual and I’m looking forward. I miss all the students very much… Actually, miss to tease them ;)

I’m a witch, and I will witch my beloved students with my special teasing spell. So that their cheeky laugh make me immortally younger. Hahahaha… hehehehe. :D

Watch Out! Witchy Quirky teacher is on the way!

Black Pepper Stir Fry Beef with Ginger and Mushroom Soup

2009-06-24T17:47:00.001+08:00

I seldom cook, but I do still cook not for pleasure but to fill up My Sayang’s tummy, My Ayah’s tummy, and my always hungry tummy.

It’s been quite a time not cooking at home. So today, I feel like to cook something different, full of tangy flavoured dish.

I love Chinese style and Thai cooking which come with a lot, lot, lots of garlic and ginger. So I come out with this. I’m not sure if anyone had cooked something like this, and it’s my first invention I guess. Well it does always be first invention… heee :D

Before I go further, FYI whenever I cook especially stir fry, I never measure my ingredients. I just throw everything inside big wok and every taste will be seasoned to taste (secukup rasa). For one dish, I usually cook at least for 3-4 persons.

Ingredient A (roughly measurement):
5-6 cloves of Garlic
2-3 inches Ginger
1 medium-big onion
Black peppercorns (biji lada hitam)
-- Finely crush the ingredients using mortar and pestle (lesung batu).

Beef meat, cut in fillet - small bite size, not too thick. Heat wok with cooking oil. Stir fry meat at high heat with Light Soy Sauce and ground black pepper (serbuk lada hitam) constantly stirring until it nicely done.

Add in Ingredient A. Stir until it fragrant, then add in ½ Tom Yam cube and sweetened it with at least 2tbsp of Sweet Soya Sauce (Kicap Manis), stir in medium heat.

Add in 1 carrot that roughly cut in dice, leave it for a while. Lastly add in 3 red ripe medium tomatoes that cut in quarterly halves, and shredded strips young apple mango (mangga epal muda). Leave it in small heat for 2 minutes and done.

I believe this dish is good for woman who just gave birth, because it got lots of garlic, ginger, black ground pepper and naturally flavoured with Light Soy Sauce and Tom Yam cube stock.

* * *

I use the same finely crush Ingredient A, but not so much of black peppercorns and small amount of garlic, ginger, and 1/4 big onion to make mushroom soup.

It’s up to you whether to stir the ingredient first OR just simmer it straight away with water. But in this case I preferred stir the ingredients with a bit of oil before simmer with water. It will make the soup smells yummy.

I use dried shitake mushroom, fresh Oyster Mushroom, dried Fo Chu tofu and 3 red ripe medium tomatoes that cut in quarterly halves. Season soup with 1/2 cube of beef stock. No need salts as the combinations of fresh Oyster Mushroom, dried shitake and Fo Chu will make the soup taste naturally salty.

Important when use dried mushroom, make sure soak with fresh water and leave it for a while to make it softer. For soup, boil it first before add in fresh ingredients. It will leave the soup tastier and aromatic.

* * *

That’s it. Serve these 2 dishes with hot rice. Or just eat like that.

I hope my sayang OK with today’s cooking. It’s really hard to please him with quirky taste dish. Just imagine, he doesn’t eat spaghetti and rice porridge, what more with sushi! But it’s good for me right, I don’t need to share my Sushi, Spaghetti Bolognese or McD Chicken Porridge with him…. Huhuhu :D

* * *

I seldom use salt and sugar for every food that I cook. Most dishes are seasoned either with Light Soy Sauce, or Oyster Sauce, or Squid/Fish Sauce, or Chicken/Beef/ Anchovies/ Tom Yam cubes stock as substitute’s salt. I used Sweet Soy Sauce (Kicap Manis) as natural sweeten.

Arrived Home in Bitter Heart

2009-06-09T02:03:00.016+08:00

Arrived home from work at almost 11pm,
still in the car, listened to flyfm,
they played this catchy beat song . . . . that started with. . .

Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,

( who sing this song, the beat remind me of . . . . and so on)

I rest my case you are always this late,

( OK, that’s something different )

Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.

( why is she in ‘bitter heart’?. . . uhhmmm, that must be the title )

* * *

So I found Bitter Heart here, sang by Zee Avi. Oooo, this is the one who’d been compared with Yuna by some of their fans.

Anyway both of them are very talented. Somehow they sound totally different from each other, and they got their own character of course.

While I was looking for Bitter Heart video clip, I came across with this quirky funny cool song. . . Enjoy listening.

Here is the full translation in English,

Yesterday, I called you, you’re not answered
You said, you went out for dinner
You said, you went with your friend
But when I called Tommy, he said it wasn’t true
So I drove my car to Damansara
Tommy said, may be you’re watching football
But when I arrived, you, you were not there
Then I gone mad!
So I called and called until you answered
You said “Sorry Love, I didn’t hear”
“My phone was on silent, I was at the gym”
But at the background, there’s a voice of other girl
That’s enough Love, I don’t believe you
I always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? I don’t even know!
No wonder my friends didn’t like you
So I guess that’s the end of our story
As for the last word, she accepted his apology
But at the end, we got to know she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend’s best friend. . .
Tommy

Kantoi ( mean Gotcha! )

It’s Already Too Late To Be A Pessimist

2009-06-06T13:24:00.008+08:00

We all know World Environment Day is commemorated with an international exposition through the week of 5th June.

WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. The day's agenda is to:

Give a human face to environmental issues;

Empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;

Promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues;

Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.

This year, the theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

* * *

Yesterday, I watched ‘Home’ a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand in our local 8TV station. I was shocked and emotionally touched with the facts since I never know that much (except the part that had been reported in daily general media) how bad our earth environment had been treated acutely in past decades by the greediness of being wealthy that cause serious global warming and animals extinction.

We know some disruptions caused by nature cycle, but IF NOT because of drastic pollutions, the Arctic ice caps were 40% tremendously thinner in 40 years, faster than what the scientists had expected. Just imagine, in another less 40 years, 80% of the ice caps will disappear and the sea level will raise 7 meters deeper that can make islands like Mauritius, Maldives even our beautiful islands in Malaysia and other places vanish from earth.

In avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate, 10 years are not enough time to change the way we live compare to the environment destructions that had done in 200.000 years ago.

It not only the planet, I do feel very upset with what had happened. How are we going to save our planet while it’s no longer healthy and safe from environment catastrophes? It seems possible as it’s already too late to be a pessimist.

Somehow there’s a hope, there must be a way to reduce these disruptions. If we, as individual, united together by changing our attitudes towards environmental issues, we might could save and reinstate our rich environments at least a bit of it for our next generations to see and to live in safely.

May be some of you didn’t get to watch Home yet, you can watch the full version of Home in YouTube. Please share this with others and together we act for the planet.

Oh this, well happen to be the MCP had been invited to do this LIVE video feed (without recording) for Alompak A GO GO, which is one of Pak Engku’s event. Oh, I wish I’ve got more Photos to show here.

It a live entertaining show that bring us back to Pop Yeh Yeh nostalgic moment in the era of 60’s and 70’s. Among the veteran artists who sang that night are A Ramli, L Ramli, Orkes Nirwana, Kassim Selamat, Jeffry Din and so on.

Talking about Pak Engku’s Event, the most and the only thing I’d been waiting for is their most delicious snack - Crispy Apam Balik. It is super delicious and addictive.

Found Great Things in Central Market

2009-05-30T00:55:00.012+08:00

Yeay, left few more days to June !...

Well nothing special about June. Just another month had past. So what had I been doing in May. . . let see. . .

Mother’s Day, last minute figure out what we’re going to give for our Mothers… so me and my sayang headed to Central Market!... woo hoo, it’s been a very long time I had been there in past few years ago. Really surprise to be in new Central Market.

It got lots of beautiful things inside from artsy witsy crafty things, pretty nice cotton and rayon hand-made printed blouses, and new collection of souvenirs that I had never seen before, and the smell, oh my, I miss the Central Market smell so much.

So what we bought? Hand-made batek printed Kaftans for Mummy, Mak and since we’re planning to visit Kak Shida, so I bought one for her too as a thank you gift for giving us so much opportunity to explore Video Productions world.

Later on, we went to 1 Utama, as Mummy had been craving for Beard Papa so I bought dozen for her, and in the evening I went to Orchid Farm in Subang - buying few Orchids for Mak.

Yes, I had a very great shopping day.

my arrival from Milan Station ;)
* * *

1 week later, I went there again with Mummy. . . there mean Central Market for another round souvenirs shopping for my youngest sister’s friends (G-da, the one who study in Wismar, German).

So we bought 2 hand-made batek printed blouses for her 2 good friends, 1 batek printed Kaftan for the mother of the good friend, 1 mini Keris which is a Letter Opener for the father of the good friend, 18 Key Chains and 16 Magnetic Fridges.

Buying all this souvenirs not only to introduce our Malaysia, but for our gratitude to her friends who taking good cares and be a good friends to G-da since the first day she arrived in Wismar.

What about me? As always, even though our 1st intention either to shop for someone else or just window shopping, sometimes I couldn’t stop myself from accidentally shopping for ME which is NOT listed.

So I bought another 2 hand-made batek printed blouses for me and Mummy, and hand-made mini purse with cat on it looking at the fish bowl, hey, it comes with fish bone too! It reminds me of Radley, it just that, this one is Cat version.

Yup, we enjoyed our 5 hours shopping spree. It would be good if I can shop like this, everyday.

Arggghhhh!! GELI-Nya

No, this poor little ratatouille is not sleeping.

Ni mesti kerja Taco.

“Taco!, Taco!” melihat dicelah-celah gril pintu. "rrrrWWeeooooooowwwwww!”

“Uish, ler ingatkan Taco kat luar” “rrrWwwwwwweeeooooooooowww!"

menjerit sepuas nya di belakang kita.

“Okey, sorry for blaming you, your highness princess, I know you won’t go out selagi gril pintu tak dibuka khas untuk tuan puteri.” “rrWeeooww”

Siapa lagi yang bijak pandai panjat tingkap tak pun lompat dari gril pintu kalau bukan si gendut ini. “mOi”

“See what have you done to this poor little ratatouille?!” “mOi?!”

“Both of you never done this before.” “mOi” “rrWeeow”

“You smelly shoe Monty, notty, notty?!” “mOi”

“Prrrr” Taco continues licking Monty.

Forgot, What the Title is About

2009-04-10T14:57:00.012+08:00

Oooooooooooooooooo.... Ok.

Nothing much happen around. I missed Earth Hour Celebration but still I do support by switching off plugs and lights in our bedroom and 2nd floor hall before I left to Berjaya Times Square at 6pm to attend MCP jobs.

However, I’m glad to know that Malaysia saved 550 megawatt of electricity for an hour which is equivalent to 14 million fluorescent bulbs of 40 watt each as for supporting Earth Hour.

What else,

I missed the 2009 Contoz Pillow Fight which held at 2nd floor, The Curve on 4th March for another MCP at Sheraton Subang.

Since there will be more events we need to work for this months and next month, and Next next next month, definitely More more video editing need to be done urgently and more wedding events need to capture. No complain about that as I love what I’m doing now besides being Kumon teacher. It’s addictive.

* * *

My best friend, Za, just delivered baby boy name Darwisy on 29th March. We had visited her at Pusat Perubatan Naluri on the first day. The baby is very healthy and heavy! 3.4kg compared to his mom weight 43kg before pregnant. Unbelievable how this petite Lady successfully delivered (normal) a very big size baby. Congrats Za & Lee.

Picture of Darwisy taken from HasraRazali

* * *

We’re welcoming new PM Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, recently. :P. I hope this new era will bring good sign and beneficial in all terms for all of Us.

1 Malaysia "Each of us is one Malaysian, Together we are one Malaysian".

Guess what, I just got to know that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed as the new Deputy Prime Minister. Everybody in everywhere said that both of them is the best combination to helm our Malaysia. Well I have no comment about that. So I wish our new PM and DPM….. All The Best.

* * *

About Karsten Swivel Chair as I noticed that there’s few readers looking for the pro & con of this chair, yeah it’s economical, strong, flexible and adjustable to the highest level, actually it’s nice, but then after for so long I realized that sometimes it makes me uncomfortable and tiring when I sit too long.

The sitting length is too short and my legs always slip off when I cross-legged one or both legs, especially sitting like a Yoga style?? Yeah, I just love to do that most of time everywhere on the floor, on the CHAIR even on the sofa because it so comfortable and supports my back and torso straighter and stronger.

Well what can I do, need to find other alternative to make it more useful and less painful.

* * *

Got more complains and things to tell about this past few weeks events, but I’m not bother to share further more. So that’s it.

Be Part of Earth Hour 2009 - VOTE EARTH

2009-03-19T00:39:00.003+08:00

Which Malaysian building or landmark would you like to see go dark during Earth Hour?

Be Part of Earth Hour 2009

2009-03-16T16:57:00.006+08:00

Earth Hour is about individual action and how together we can make a difference. Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Sama-Sama Terperanjat

On 4th March, he’s not working! Arggh, what should I do, macam mana nak melarikan diri senyap2?

Urrgghhh…. Look at him, he’s so relax as if nothing important is happening around.

In mid afternoon someone called him, and while he’s rushing way out, I keep asking him where he’s going. He said, “ambik barang motor, dah sampai.”

"Barang motor ape?"

"Barang motor la."

"Ye lah, motor ape?"

"Isskhh you ni … motor motor, lerrr… nak ikut?"

Terkedu and masing-masing blur, thinking what all the fuss was about. Indeed we laughed at our weird conversations.

“Macam nak ikut, Tak pe lah, malas nak ikut. Lama gi?”

“Uhmm lama kot, nak gi jumpa Encik Azmi and friends sekali kat BTS - gi minum jap.”

* * * * *

In 2 minutes he gone from my sight. I pun cepat-cepat siap and shoot to Aeon AU2. Bought things that cost me hundredssss…

2 hours later, I reached home, luckily he’s not around yet so I hid the things in his 3rd bottom wardrobe where I placed towels.

* * * * *

After we had meeting with the family of ‘bride and groom-to-be’ at Shah Alam, we drive back to KL. It’s almost 11pm.

"Kita gi makan yer?"

"Makan?? Bukan kita dah makan petang tadi, I kenyang lagi. Jom lah balik, I dah mengantuk."

"Alaa, tahan lah jap, temankan I makan, Ayang makan ringan-ringan pun tak pe."

* * * * *

Setiba di destinasi . . .

( Dalam hati ) 'Apahal lah mamat ni bawa kita kat tempat ni??'… hati kita ketawa berdekah2, 'Ooo… macam gini dia nak celebrate anniversary.'

"Sayang, bukan dah NAK dekat kul 12 pagi ker?? buka lagi ke Bora Ombak ni, jom lah balik…" ( still pretending like I know nothing )

"Jom kita tengok dalam dulu, buka lagi tu… "

So kami pun bersantailah di Bisik 3, berdua-duaan, romantik gitu. Nasib baik masih ramai orang. So we ordered food. He knew me very well, kenyang macam mana pun kalau pasal makan I tak pernah tolak. So I pun order food yang paling mahal sekali. Heehehe, kita suka sangat.

While eating, suddenly my mobile berbunyi. Uhmm, ‘mangkuk hayun’ mana lah sms me tengah malam buta ni, tak pernah-pernah.

Tepat pukul 12 pagi, 5th March 2009. Sms nya berbunyi…
“Selamat Ulangtahun Perkahwinan yg Ke-4.… Love u so much, sayang.”

Hati rasa gembira, dan, dan, rasa mengantuk pun hilang terus. After 4 years, this is our truly first time celebrating our success, but then later on, there’s more than what I expected….

I’m in shocked, this is not what I expecting as I thought our celebration will be simple and the ‘motor’, I mean the Sparkle Ring is very sweet, exactly what I‘d been imagine.

And me, with sad face I bluffed him that I forgot our anniversary and will buy present on the next day.

He’s reaction?….. He totally lost words.

* * * * *

After late dinner, we’re back home, so I went straight away (pretending again) to take a bath.

( behind the door ) "Sayang, tolong ambilkan towel kat dalam laci you no-3."

After few second I heard him laughing and jumping around.

"Betul-betul lah I ingat ayang dah lupa. Saje je u buat-buat tak tahu."

Me…. Tersenyum lebar. What a lovely night we had.

Perception

2009-02-11T02:31:00.003+08:00

There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere. –Mansfield Park

I’m not sure weather to like Fanny Price or not, as far as I concern reading to Jane Austen can be addictive.

It’s all happen (out of sudden) when my personal student confessed to me that she doesn’t like Fanny Price because she’s annoying.

Uh, okay. Then I asked her why she read the book? As I know in my time my English teacher never requests to do such thing (in other term - not following Malaysia’s school syllabus). However I’m glad when she’s willing to discuss her interest in Mansfield Park with, especially the quote she’d given above.

Its part of ‘The Appreciation Week for English Literature ’ that been held in her class once in a month. She thought that the quote showing the realistic of life as the same thing happen to her parents that ought her to be optimistic for every changes the parents had made to hold the family on the ground and not to expect to much as she afraid it will hurt her someday. She thought being optimistic is not enough.

Wow, what a complicated words to combine in there. So in return, I shared with her something that I hope can make her feel better, with hope to balance the whole thing. Luckily the quote is still kept nicely in a piece of paper in one of the dictionaries. It’s one of my favorites.

How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue. –Pride and Prejudice

She reads it and keeps reading it until the form of knowledgeable smiles appeared on her face. How good to see that beautiful smile.

She thought it positively, if not because of the passion of loving for each other no matter how little the happiness is, her family is always be together and found the comfort zone. All she needs to do to keep the fire of passion burning warm, besides being optimistic as well as respect for each other.

She made my day easier without need to further the explanation.

All quote been discuss based on personal thought (to suite in nowadays life) that shared between me and Lisa Di, 16.

Where's Awien Missing??

2009-01-29T20:11:00.016+08:00

La la la la la... Awien is missing in action for a month. No, I'm not merajuk. I need a little break, so I could focus on other important agendas.

* * *

Before Long CNY Holiday, I faced very hectic schedules and issues, with couple and couple of editing need to be done and more. Do some 'healing' treatments to few demotivated students. . hmmm. . schools just open, homeworks given too many that made them feel down. I feel pity to these children nowadays as they had been pushed to compete in very early age.

Assisted new assistant training to newbies which turn out bit disaster as we received a couple of complains from students and parents… and me too… “Do works perfectly like a Pro, ladies!” Hahaha, I felt great to keep people under control. Providentially, manage to pull the string straight after 3 weeks worth of training and good teamwork.

Chinese New Year around the clock, I received Ang Pau and a box of Shantang Baby Mandarin from Miss G. Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone.

These pictures taken at ‘Majlis Ulangtahun Pak Engku’ on 17th Jan 2009.
I supposed not in duty that day, that’s why I wore red kebaya as a guest to match 'the Era of Saloma & P. Ramlee' theme.

Uhmmm, it seems I look alike more like 'Mak Dara' in Ibu Mertuaku. Darn :P

* * *

Remember the entry 'When The Computer Is Personal Again' about HP desktop my Sayang bought last year. . I promised him, I will buy a new swivel chair for us since previous one was in very bad bad bad condition that hurts my back & right shoulder.

Since I received 2nd video editing payment, I decided. . why not I put down some money for a good chair. So we when to Ikea and bought this rm299 black ‘Karsten’ swivel chair with additional armrest which cost rm60.

Yup it does good and economical at the moment, very high, sturdy black, comfy and I can cross my legs everywhere I want.

* * *

Last Sunday 25th, before going to Ikea, we went to Putra Perdana, attending a friend – Liza’s Engagement ceremony. Isn’t she lovely? :) Now I know she's like orange colour.

Oh yeah... one of the blogger that I used to read, also got engaged. . . I guess on the same day. Congrats to SukiCida.

* * *

Monday 26th, I brought ayah to his mother’s house (our grandmother, Wan’s house) at Selayang. It’s the first visit after 2 weeks he got back from Haj, so I called my auntie ‘Ateh’, informed that we’re coming to visit and would love to have lunch together at home.

I believe she’s found it weird, as ‘Awien’ never request to have lunch at their place before?? Yeah I .. I mean ‘We Sisters’ never, never done such request at Wan’s House unless with invitation. I do feel awkward too, but nothing wrong, right, as ayah love Angah’s (his sister) cooking very much.

In return, I bought 2 whole birds of Ayamas Percik & Black Pepper Roaster as potluck. Well, Visit + Lunch = Potluck. Huh, Cooking?? I’m lazy to cook as usual.

* * *

That’s it for a month review. Well, overall I’m doing well and gain a lot of prosperities :) Thanks to ayah, mummy & papa, mak & abah for their great Do’a and bless for us.

Salam Ma'al Hijrah 1430 & Welcome to Year 2009

Love to share this, a message I received from Ashley on New Year Eve.

* * *

One day, the villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, every one gathered and only 1 boy came with an umbrella.That's CONFIDENCE.

When you throw a 1 year old baby in the air, he laughs because he knows you will catch him. That's TRUST.

Every night we go to bed, we're not sure that we'll get up tomorrow, but we still have many plans for the coming day. That's HOPE.

Have confidence, believe in God, never lose hope. Happy Prosperous New Year.

Jalan-Jalan Ke Kuala Kangsar

2008-12-30T18:28:00.022+08:00

To London driving Kelisa to Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Haaaa… best-kan, if we can drive car to London then to Kuala Kangsar.

Ok, this trip was our first time even motivating myself to act as a local people when we’re reach there. But then when we’re arrived, I’m ‘little bit’ shock shocked and because of my anxiety.. ‘I jadi org jakun’.

Wow, this small town is Bandar DiRaja Kuala Kangsar?! Beyond than expectations. Tiba-tiba, I said to Rody, ”Sayang, jom kita pindah sini?” ???

I love the serenity, especially the green-ness of Angsana Trees, and the Royalty aura of Kuala Kangsar itself. Even thou the small town can be very busy in daylight but then the weather & the Air smell differently.

Sungai Perak scenery itself is beautiful. The old houses & old shop lots, the schools like MCKK, Clifford and RPK and the attraction spots of the Kuala Kangsar Old Train Station which looks classic, Masjid Ubudiah, Istana Kenangan, and the attractive green park, it’s like living in miniature heritage town and the stillness at night are so overwhelm.

If not because of Rody had a wedding video shoot, we probably hardly to reach here any sooner.So we decided to continue our stay for another night at Sg. Perak Resort.

Here popular with their laksa & cendol. Somehow there’s one place that really catch our taste buds straight down to our heart, the place called Restoran D’Benteng which is next to Sungai Kangsar, at the back alley of shop lots. Even thou we’re order the simplest food ever, as we’re not big eater… their Malay-Thai style Cuisine were really satisfying and recommended.

Oh, the London Red Telephone Box, it’s there for real! Unbelievable, when I was in UK 5 years ago, I never had a single thought to take pictures with London’s significant Telephone Booth until here in Kuala Kangsar. Funny, how could I miss that moment in London? However, my sayang definitely excited about it as IF he’s been to London for real, heee…. Tak pe sayang, one day kita pergi London together ye, so kumpul duit dari sekarang.

Since the town just across to Sayong, we decided to buy couple of Labu Sayong Air.

Overall we had great time, indulging in the past time of Kuala Kangsar. It’s nice to be here for weekends trip but then for a big city person like me staying here for lifetime…. Uhm, I need more time to consider that again.

* * *
ps : aaaa, banyak lagi gambar...dah tak kuasa ..cukup setakat ni.. :P

Holiday WHERE?!

2008-12-30T04:00:00.005+08:00

Year End Holiday from 24th Dec ’08 to 2nd Jan ‘09.

* * *

Awien just got back from long holiday!!!... from where??
Nooo kidding :) Definitely a very long journey. . . :D heeee. wink wink ;)

Isn't it cool?

* * *

..will be continue in 5 hours from ticktockticktock any time..

Coincidently Rhythmic

2008-12-24T00:19:00.018+08:00

Feel much positive lately, even though struggling to be optimistic as accepting things as what they are and smile all over the place. It does feel pleasant, and wish will be always like this everyday, inner self freedom towards sanguinity.

* * *

Ok, this is so not cool, it’s been a week and nothing inspired me. Reading too much books, getting too much info, looking for more inputs, and pretending to be... Capote??.

No, I didn’t watch the movie, yet. Not even his books but looking forward to. What am I talking about?! I even didn’t know who ‘Capote’ is!

* * *
Input - Capote? Capote - Input?

Funny, sounds rhythmic. It’s all out of sudden. Where this agenda does came from? Uhmmm… probably flash searching in the webs few days ago.

Who’s this Mr. Capote again? Well, I’m not going to tale tells here as he can be found in here here : Wikipedia - Truman Capote

But then… Ohhh, he’s the writer of Breakfast at Tiffany’s?!
I had watched this movie when I was 10 and I think another time when 15. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my all time favourites. Unbelievable I already had watch one of his adaptation movies.

Well more info I’ve got today. Inspired.

ps: lari dari agenda... i'm looking for inspiration... tiba-tiba pula cerita pasal Capote... ni semua kes Si Input lah ni... uhmm.. lupa sudah apa nak diceritakan kat sini :P

19 Hours

2008-12-18T15:03:00.017+08:00

An experience that I would love to share.

* * *

It’s good to be back home after 19 hours admitted in HKL since the night of 16th for close observations. It’s not the first time I had been hospitalised but this time was different than other experience.

Luckily, it’s nothing serious as I feel better with slight tenderness on my abdomen the next day. I’d been diagnosed with 3 possibilities as I'm having similar symptoms.

First diagnosis was Ectopic Pregnancy (EP). Yes, it does sound crazy & I was hoping it’s not happen because impossible as I am in a new cycle, but the possibility is there. Anyhow, there’s no sign of EP during Ultrasound and the UPT is negative, mean that I’m in a safe zone.

Third possibility, it’s probably Appendicitis but when the doctors refer to Surgical the next day, its negative too.

As for 2nd diagnosis, there’s something unusual in my womb as the doctors found volumes of organised free fluids which is more than the normal amount. Where does it come from? From ruptured Corpus Luteum Cyst. It’s natural and nothing much they can do there as I’ve been advised to have a good rest in bed.

However, at the end of prognosis, there are still and will be more possibilities. Some already mention to me which is quite surprised. It could be good news or could be just news. However I need to be there again for check ups in 2 weeks time for more confirmations on possibilities.

Overall, I am in good condition, both of my ovaries are healthy and glad that I still can have babies.

* * *

What is Corpus Luteum Cyst?

Another is Corpus Luteum Cyst which may rupture about the time at the end of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely. This type of functional cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. The follicle then becomes a secretory gland that is known as the corpus luteum. The ruptured follicle begins producing large quantities of estrogen and progesterone in preparation for conception. If a pregnancy doesn't occur, the corpus luteum usually breaks down and disappears. It may, however, fill with fluid or blood, causing the corpus luteum to expand into a cyst, and stay on the ovary. Usually, this cyst is on only one side, and does not produce any symptoms.

It can however grow to almost 10cm (4 inches) in diameter and has the potential to bleed into itself or twist the ovary, causing pelvic or abdominal pain. If it fills with blood, the cyst may rupture, causing internal bleeding and sudden, sharp pain. The fertility drug clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene), used to induce ovulation, increases the risk of a corpus luteum cyst developing after ovulation. These cysts don't prevent or threaten a resulting pregnancy. Women on birth control pills usually do not form these cysts; in fact, preventing these cysts is one way the combined pill works. In contrast, the progesterone-only pill can cause increased frequency of these cysts.

The pain measurement in 1 out of 10 ... it's extremely painful more than 10 which able to scare Rody :D.

Being Frenzied

2008-12-12T12:50:00.007+08:00

I don’t know what happen to me, today. I’m so super hyper and wacky as I jump all over the place, do work tremendously fast, I feel like I’m a bionic woman. Even my clique asks me to calm down.

“Did you take ecstasy before you come to work??”

“No, I just take my daily B Complex.”

“Oh, no wonder.”

In wondering thought, ‘Huh, what the heck being hyper had something to do with my ‘B Complex’?’

Is it true taking ‘B Complex’ once in daily can make people hyper??
What a weird mythology.

The Confession of ‘I Can Do-holics’

2008-12-07T21:30:00.009+08:00

Again, I have no mood for Raya tomorrow. No excitement and I am absolutely pessimist about everything. But somehow, when mummy called this afternoon ask me to bake a cake for her, everything change the moment I bought butters and cartoons of eggs later in the evening.

Great. Mummy’s agenda always pressed the right optimistic button in my loony brain out of nowhere.

Telling the truth, I hate bake cakes, I hate baking & it’s messy. But I had to do it, because that’s what mummy gave to us (her 4 beautiful daughters) sharing her talent from down deep her heart since we’re baby. I still remember how I waiting for her to finish her mixing so I could lick the cake paste in a big mixing bowl before its go down to the sink.

Why should I be ungrateful about it?

No, no matter how hates doing it, but someway it’s always worth especially when it turns to a beautiful golden cake and taste delicious. As a result, I’m so lucky to have a mother, who’s willing to share her talent, and with that talent has changed me to a responsible and caring person…. and yup, don’t be surprise as I’m not just a ‘comically weird’ teacher, or a ‘overdo it’ video editor, or a ‘mad’ housewife…. I’m an ‘irritable’ baker too (as I tend to curse a lot while baking) :P.

No matter irritable I am, Abah (Rody’s dad) always loves my butter cake. I have made one for him too. He’s so lucky.

Anyway, among 4 of us, I’m the worst baker… Haha. :D

Glad both cakes done perfecto.

Salam AidilAdha and Happy Holiday.

Bengal?

2008-12-02T22:50:00.024+08:00

Ok, remember the last post about my personal similarity in 'What Type of Animal I Am?' and the answer is Cat....Oh well, great. Then, I am very curious to know 'What Breed of Cat I am (similar to)?' since there are so many type of felines out there and here the answer....

You Are a Bengal Cat

You look wild, but deep down, you're really quite sweet.
You are curious about the world around you, and you love to explore.
You liked to swim and climb trees as a kid... and probably still do!
You are confident and energetic. You are ready to take on the world.

What Breed of Cat Are You?

Oh my, quite surprise with the answers because I do love swimming with my nieces & nephews. Climbing tree, well if (coincidently) I found a tree that possible for me to climb, yes, I definitely climb the tree…. And yell, “Hoii, I’m up here!! I’m going to jump! Catch Me down there!!” :D

Being confident and energetic, I agree with that, but don’t mess up with me at the end of the day especially on Mondays, or, I will turn your world down, like what Mr. Puss in Boots does to his foe by showing his adorable pity face before he takes out his lil’ sword. RRreeowww.

* * *
Btw, I found my Pencil Case 3 days after the last post. Guess what? It's just 27 inch away to my above left side from where I'm sitting now. What a waste of searching for a month & a half. :P

Wonder Pets, ToLOng saya...

2008-11-27T00:38:00.018+08:00

Perlukah Awien memanggil Wonder Pets untuk membantu Awien Si Anak Orang yang kini berada dalam kesusahan?

Kenapa Awien berada dalam kesusahan?

Ini kerana, telah SEBULAN lebih Awien mencari Pencil Case berukuran 15.5cm panjang, berdiameter 4cm tepat, berwarna oren, mempunyai tulisan chap Korea, material dari kain PVC hingga kini tidak dijumpai. Ia amat diperlukan kerana ia amat sukar diganti memandangkan saiznya yang amat comel.

Tolong Awien mencari Pencil Case-nya. Sesiapa terjumpa Pencil Case berwarna oren sila pulangkan kepada Awien dan kita akan raikanya dengan daun saderi.

* * *

Entry ini hanyalah syok sendiri kerana bosan Pencil Case kegemaran tidak dijumpai.

I'm A Nocturnal

2008-11-23T17:39:00.046+08:00

Once, I told my friend (as he asks) the time I usually wake up in the morning is 10.30am when I’m not working the next day or my work starts in late afternoon. The reason I woke up late, because I’m a nocturnal, and the only time that I really fell asleep deeply is after Subuh (dawn). That’s why I didn’t and not preferred to work 9 to 5. Nights are the best time to do editing, reading or other creativity & religious task.

* * *

20th Nov, 2008. Thursday.

“You’re switch off the light, now?? I’m not finish yet.”

Yes, once I started reading book, it’s hard for me to stop. It’s 12.45am. Light off.
Lying in the bed left to right rolls over. Shut my eyes as tightly as I can. Darn, I can’t sleep.

1.00am, sitting in front of PC, switch on the table light, browsing internet and update Awien’s Thought while continue reading book, again, I love do 2 or more tasks at one time. Another expertise.

‘OK, at least reading 2 chapters I must do here.’

Oh my, I’ve been reading 4 chapters now, 3.12am. Uhmm, tired. It’s time to have a good night sleep. My goodness, look at him, he sleeps like a beaver.

Left to right, rolls over. Shut my eyes as tightly as I can. 20 minutes pass. What a nice dream.

Tet, tet, Tet, tet. 4.15am?? Darn, who’s messaging me at this wee hour?! Oh, it's from Miss G. Reading the text.

‘Shoot, How Jolyn forgot about this? Nevermind, 1st thing I’ll do tomorrow morning, Pack Homework’s for our junior Mr. Syafiq.’

Right to Left, rolls over. Hate when they do this to me, definitely will take another 30 minutes to fall asleep. Take a deep breath and count the jumping kangaroos.

5.20am, rolls over and rolls over. Arrggghhh, Hungry, very hungry, why should I be hungry at this time. Please sleep my dearest tummy, we will have a very yummy and fatty breakfast tomorrow morning, how about Sausage McMuffin Meal at McD? Uhmmm yummy.

‘Shoot, I shouldn’t promise myself for McD, I’m on diet.’

6.00am, ok just a little drink, to dismiss the thirstiness and hungriness.
6.43am, Arrgghhh, why now? I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry. Sleep, sleep.
..... I need a good sleep.
7.30am Friday, huh, morning already? So soon. I don’t want to wake up yet, I can’t open my eyes, too sleepy, please let me sleep another 10 minutes.

“Bangun sayang Awien. Today, you’re working in the morning, right? Wake up, Wake up, it’s time to work.”

For A Thoughtful Friend from A Forgotten Friend

2008-11-22T05:16:00.026+08:00

Suka betul baca blog orang, dapat berkongsi cerita, pengalaman dan macam-macam ada. Tapikan, sejak kebelakangan ni, salah satu blog yang sering dikunjungi agak kelihatan kurang menarik hingga membuatkan I yang rimas. It's a good timing as she does need someone to fix her Kemusykilan. Jadi I pun sms orang ni petang semalam.

My Sms :
Has bz ke ? O lupa dia bz shopping hehe. Eh, asal blog has gitu. Mesti salah kira. Geram plak tgk. Nak Awien tolong betulkan? (huhuhu blog orang lain, kita pulak yang geram)

Sms Has:
Has on the way nak balik Gombak..Mlm ni nak blik Kuantan... Wahh..Awien free ke nak tolong buatkan? (diberinyer log-in access ke blognyer – maaf dirahsiakan) Tq Awien.

My Sms:
Yay good, Awien tolong Has but I need header picture Has. Rasanya boleh hantar kat email Awien? Don’t worry its free I need to polish my skills.

Sms Has:
Wahh..Tqvm my dear friend..Nanti Has email that pic,.. ya Nvrmind, I’ll treat you soon..Tambah pula nak share my happiness with my ‘new baby’ (a dream car) with you..

* * *
Untuk seorang kawan, apa salahnya tolong. Lagi pun Awien suka & rela buat kerja-kerja artistic ni, kerana ia sebahagian daripada luahan hati yang degil ni. Ya, amat degil dan ‘complicated’.

Anyway, being needed to be treated or Not, what’s important is the loyalty in friendship, no matter in happiness, sadness or in troublesome days. I admit, sometimes I’m not being a good friend and keep myself distance from everyone for many reasons. Anyhow, by doing this at least they knew I’m still alive :) and I can be that kind of person who they can count on.

* * *
So Has, I hope you like the new face of HasraRazali’s blog, but still got few things you need to fix. Colours, the sidebar is too colourful for Yellow shout box. About the theme, as you asked for soft colours, uhmmm … hopefully the olive green looks soft.

I do really enjoy refurbished Has's Blog. Lots of things I had learned, it's like playing a big puzzle games. Somehow, I feel a little bit envy as her's is nicer than mine. Uhmmm... inspire.

It's good to take the 'jealousy' sentiment as inspiration to be better in future. :)

Pursepal key holder and handbag hanger.

Menarik tak?? Yup actually I’ve been eyeing on this quite sometimes since I published “Facts or Fiction: Are Germs Really Invading Your Handbag??” and While browsing products of purse hanger, I found this http://pursepal.fotopages.com/.

So, on the night of 12th I bought the key and handbag holder online, and it’s arrived here yesterday afternoon.

Anyway I like the design very much, and indeed it’s very useful especially the key holder. Why? I usually take 5 mins to find the car keys inside my ‘doraemon’ handbag. But now, I don’t need to panic for 'will' losing the keys anymore and it’s easy to reach - just hanging inside out my bag. Yes, these products are brilliant invention.

* * *

Today, another parcel arrived from Luvclothez.com, a black chiffon blouse with adorable edged lace. It’s gorgeous, and I look cute in it.

* * *
Conclusion, it's definitely worth it and saving time.

Did You See What I See and Hear What I Hear?

2008-11-12T01:22:00.009+08:00

I close my eyes, and listen, it’s not the serene ocean that I see or hear, but it’s something much deeper that hardly to explain. I like the way its feel, like a good kiss in the soft breeze.
