Anggrek kuring:First restaurant's review...

If you have been to Indonesia,you'll know that their food are great!We Malaysian of course have an amazing lines of food..But as a foodies myself Indonesian food are way simpler and special in its own ways.Me and my husband is a foodies, one thing for sure was our highlights every month is to try out different restaurants and stalls that we heard about.
So as for this new year introduction of my foodies alert segment,I introduce you to Anggrek Kuring-Sundar and Bandung authentic food.What must you eat?A lot!For a starter let's have a risole:it looks like a typical fried dumpling(popiah) but its not..It has chicken and vegetables inside with a juicy sauce which I'm not sure made of what..Then if you're familiar with Ayam Penyet,here a must is Ayam Presto.It's a chicken that have been cooked in pressure-cooker then fried with perfection.You can eat the chicken to the bone!(drools~~)Satay cumi-Squid Skewer was also the amongst the highlights besides sambal udang petai and tauhu taucu..YUMMEH!!!
The ambiance is very nice..you can sit down in a private curtained area or you can just sit at the normal table.The pricing was okay too...They have a set for 2,4,6,10 people which consist of 6 different dishes that you can choose (if you a first timer definetely recommended).Another must, grilled banana with chocolate and cheese!(~~die!)Check out the website for more details!I give it 5/5 stars!

Welcoming 2010...

Salam..been staring these pages for few weeks,I suffered from writer's block.huhu...By the way,last 27th Dec my marriage turned 2 years.We had our little vacation at Colmare Tropical,Bukit Tinggi.(so-called-French-countryside-NOT!)That will be featured on another entry which will include lots of pictures and complaints.
Nevertheless,we hit our end of this year with a bit of sour note.Hubby got some setbacks at work which worried him,which make me worried too seeing him worried..haih..Allah never test something that you couldn't handle right?Therefore I'm all ears for my dear hubby.Not letting him felt worried or agitated at home is my only mission for now.Men, in this case my men,will tend to cave their emotion when shits happened like this happened.Their not like women-me in my case,who express their emotion with crying and talking about it to almost every friend they could find.Therefore,I rather just be there for him whenever he needs me..I love you Booboo..:)
As for new year celebration there's nothing to celebrate really cause our new year(Muslim) was last Muharram.Okayla so we had dinner with few friends last night..That's soo not celebrating new year..We were soo full,(Alahamdulillah..)that by the time we reached home,all three of us felt asleep despite the fact that there's like a 20 loud sounds of fireworks around our place.This restaurant that we we went was amazing!The food,the ambiance,the price..Will be featured in the next entry!promise!
Owh..these year will also starts with me taking care of our lil Adreanna...aaaw..baby smell...ummi loike!Praying that she's adjust to me and Ai'syah adjust to her very well..amin...then we can start making baby for ourselves..hohoho!

eat,pray,***K? my 1st movie review..:)

taken from IMDb
Since I have Ai'syah,I have no longer step into cinema though my heart wanted to do so,I couldn't convinced my hubby to do so,and we ended buying dvd's instead.Recently,the much acclaimed book Eat,Pray,Love was such a big hit I found myself drown into it..And to my surprise,the book was not really for me..I like the story of her travelling,but then again,she was trying to find herself cause she lost herself in her marriage.Hmmm..such a typical "mat saleh" story..Why must you lost your sense of self when you get married?If you watch Oprah,that's all most of the wives and mothers suffered from..(Pelikkan?mama ok je,kakak ok je)I meant we all have ups and down in being a wife,mother,but we don't really end up being depressed right?
And then,when everything falls apart ONLY you want to find GOD??True..most of us are like that..Moi sometimes also falls into that category..(manusia mudah lupe)anyway,back to the movie,as much as I love Glee..the same director of this movie,I don't think he does any justice to the book..The book is soo much more that what the movie is about,like my kakak said,Eat,Pray,***K..Cause at the end of the journey,where they should be showing more on the her Bali adventure rather than her being in love.
As a whole,the movie was a-okay...The stunning cast was the best:Julia Robert(OMG!you can see her wrinkles clearly in this movie-bravo Julia!),Javier Bardem(demm),and not forgetting,my beloved James Franco...too much hotness,in one movie..distract the story...LOL..3/5 stars!

Here's to friendship!

salam..First and foremost,I'm soo grateful to Allah for giving us a group of friends that we considered as family..Living 2-5 hours away from our family,our friends are the closest to us other than siblings and relatives that may stay a few minutes away from where we lived.
Ai'syah simple birthday dinner was a success,though my sister and her family can't make it cause it was on weekdays..I believed Ai'syah was a very happy girl that day..She was smiling,dancing,and being playful to everybody that night(indicated how happy she was).Not to mention how happy she was to see Dibo on her cake!And how she devoured the cake like its nobody business,special thanks to her thoughtful Baba.:)
Though my husband didn't like the idea of celebrating Ai'syah's birthday,I managed to make him be part of it,plus he can't really see NO to Ai'syah...She's like his kryptonite..LOL..Just a simple dinner with bunch of closed friends,hanging out,cutting cake and that's it..Ai'syah had a great time,Ummi and Baba too had a great time..
Special thanks to my dearest Syamimi Turiman,who came all the way just to help me with the decoration,you're an angel!And to my favourite cake boss ;I think I'll be your loyal customer...All of us love the cake!

the right time to perform Hajj?

When you're still young..When you're still healthy...When you have the money...If I'm not mistaken what our Ustaz told us on our Umrah's prep class..Ustaz said,make do'a if you don't have the money yet...InshaAllah,He will answered your prayers... Never underestimate the power of a good intention..subhanAllah..
If you've been to Makkah...you'll see it by yourselves that whatever you wished,you get it..You said its hot,you will feel hot...If you said,its not that hot,then,its really not that hot..You're in the Holy ground,and patience is the only way to go...And it pays...At the end of the day,the patience that you've been practicing will sticks with you..inshaAllah..
I know you think I'm rambling....the fact that I wanna don't wanna wait till I'm old to perform Hajj kind of the starts of these topic..Everytime the Hajj season came,I wanted to cry...Dear Allah...please...I wanna go there before I'm old,that is IF I lived that long to grow old...subhanAllah...

baby baru,baby lame...

Alhamdulillah...adik ipar saya selamat melahirkan seorang baby girl yang sungguh comel dan sihat 22hb yang lalu..Tengok adik sakit di labour room mengingatkan saya detik2 melahirkan Nur Ai'syah...Perasaan yang tak akan boleh digambarkan dengan perkataan..slalu klu orang tanya saya,ape rase?saya akan cakap; "You'll have to experienced it to know how it felt".apepun,baby chomel namenye Adreanna Aryssa.maksud;ummi lupe..sorry dek..kuat nenen,pipi die best,molat,rambut lebat,gaye2 mcm nak curly...aaah..bestnye bau baby!(sabor2..)
Baby lame plak namenye Nur Ai'syah..48 jam lagi genap 1 tahun..tak boleh tengok Ummi pegang baby kejap mulelah die..Dengan nenek pun mule2 mcm tuh..al-maklum cucu sulong Puan Nuraini..hari kedue Ai'syah ok dah..pandai anak Ummi..tapi kene tengok2 jugak sebab Ai'syah geram ngan baby..Die ingat doll kot..hehe..Baby lame Ummi..dah besar...dah nak masuk setahun..huhu..nak nanges boley???cepatnyer besor...sedeyler pulok...
Ummi dah tempah cake,aunty mimi dah buat decoration,esok nak ajak baba beli bahan2 mentah nak masak.walaupun baba kate nanti Ai'syah tak ingat pun...ummi tau,satu hari nanti,Ai'syah bace blog ni,tengok gambar pastu Ai'syah cakap,terime kasih ummi...:)

green-eyed MoNster!

googled

Fine!I admitted it!I'm a green-eyed monster when it comes to my husband..Also known as my fricking insecurity.These sickening feeling on the top of my stomach just wanna screamed!GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!!!!I hate girls that I don't know on his FB page,especially those "gediks" who still single and put all these "free show" photos on their profile picture.It's like their saying,hey!I'm hot,and I'm single,come and get me boys!I know I sound like a mad women this time,just bare with me.I need to pour out my insecurity phsycho-babble into words so after I wrote it,I felt this sense of relief.Hopefully my husband wont be reading this or he might asked me to remove this post.Nope,wont do it!

I better stop now before I wrote more inappropriate things..huhu..I blamed this all on my period..seriously..crazy hormones!

Sheena Easton ~ Morning Train

If there was something I remember doing during our early years of dating,we exchanged mixed cd's that have all our favourite songs.My husband loves the oldies,I love them too but I didn't really know that much except for Air-Supply,Carpenter,The Beatles(my hubby hated them),and Frank Sinatra.Knowing him,I've grown to love a whole lot of these oldies songs..This one particular was stucked in my head for quite some time..aah..those days,getting ready to class,blasting off to my morning music playlist..Enjoy this one!

Top Chef madness!!

I'm a sucker for cooking shows!yes I am..I'm inspired to cook just by watching others cooks.I'm no chef,but I am honestly dying to learn how to cook those expensive small meal that I saw these chef's are cooking..seriously,I already putting it in my bucket list..LOL..have to at least learn how to make one gourmet meal.Really like to taste it..hmm..hubby,anniversary dinner this year maybe?
And to make my appetite for this food even stronger this Top Chef show just what I need!They make cooking looks like an art!And I'm loving it...Wonder if should reconsider a new career option,a chef maybe??

flu,10 bln,night-stops...

Salam,agak lame tak update.Saya diserang flu yang kemudian berjangkit kepada ramai orang,termasuk adik ipar yang tengah sarat mengandung(sorry dik!).Alhamdulillah,semua nampaknya sudah beransur pulih.Nur Ai'syah saja yang masih berair hidungnya,minggu ini die sungguh mudah menangis,kadang-kadang saya sendiri rasa hilang sabar,semua tak kena,tapi tahan saja,mujur suami setia mengambil alih bila-bila diperlukan.Agaknya betul kata orang,anak perempuan ikut muka mak,PANAS...hehe..alasan tak munasabah,tapi kadang-kadang boleh pakai untuk sedapkan hati sendiri.
Minggu lepas rasa gusi Ai'syah tak ade ape lagi,semalam tengok,ada dua bonjol putih pada gusi,nak keluar gigi rupanya anak Ummi..patutlah..semuanya tak kena...owh,Ai'syah juga sudah bertatih sendiri,sekali sekala dia lepas tangan dan berjalan beberapa langkah dengan sendiri..mula-mula tengok dulu mengalir jugak air mata,Ummi bangga Ai'syah berjalan tak pakai "walker".Mintak maaf kata,saya memang anti-walker selepas saya ambil subjek Psikologi Kanak2 dan Remaja.Pensyarah saya menceritakan seribu satu keburukan walker dan kesannya pada proses pembesaran dan pembelajaran anak2.Biarlah mak ayah kita dulu saja yang buat silap,kita yang dah belajar,janganlah ulang perkara yang sama bukan?
Sekarang suami sungguh banyak night-stop,nak merungut pun tak boleh,bukan saya tak tahu kerjanya memang begitu.Apa boleh buat,rezeki kami anak beranak.Maka tidurlah saya bertemankan baju suami yang ada baunya.Syukurlah Ai'syah teman yang setia..kejutkan ummi subuh,teman ummi makan,baca buku sama2,tak ada apa yang lebih saya perlukan dari segala nikmat yang Allah pinjamkan didunia yang sementara ini.
kami sekeluarga ,saya terutamanya sangat excited menanti ketibaan ahli keluarga baru.Bukan saya mengandung,adik ipar akan bersalin seminggu dua ini,minta2 semua berjalan lancar,insyaAllah nanti bila adik mula bekerja,saya yang akan menjaga si kecil yang juga baby girl!yay!mendoakan segala yang terbaik insyaAllah..
panjang bebel hari ini,akibat lama tak menulis.:)oklah,salam..

Always Be There..

Alllahu Akbar…

If you ask me about love
And what i know about it
My answer would be
It’s everything about Allah
The pure love, to our souls
The creator of you and me,the heaven and whole universe
The one that made us whole and free
The guardian of HIS true believers
So when the time is hard
There’s no way to turn
As HE promise HE will always be there
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there
HE’s always watching us, guiding us

So when the time is hard
There’s no way to turn
As HE promise HE will always be there
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there
HE’s always watching us, guiding us
And HE knows what’s in all in our heart

So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
As HE promise HE will always be there…

HE bring ourselves from the darkness into the light
Subhanallah praise belongs to YOU for everything
Shouldn’t never feel afraid of anything
As long as we follow HIS guidance all the way
Through the short time we have in this life
Soon it all’ll be over
And we’ll be in His heaven and we’ll all be fine

So when the time gets hard
There’s no way to turn
As HE promise He will always be there
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there
HE’s always watching us, guiding us
And HE knows what’s in all in our heart

So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
As HE promise HE will always be there…

Allahu Akbar…

So when the time gets hard
There’s no way to turn
As HE promise He will always be there
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there

And he knows what’s in all in our heart

So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
As HE promise HE will always be there…

Allahu Akbar…

birthday and sarang semut...

Today, I turned 27 years old..yikes!that's a lot of number no?But then looking back,if you asked me,I have to said that I have lived quite a life,thanks to the Most Merciful for lending me everything that I have..Family,friends,and everything..
Anyway,as usual,when it comes to my birthday,my hubby never really fails to impress me.Though way back when we were not married,he would just take me out and pick whatever(within his budget)for my birthday.This year I refuse not to anticipate to that routine as I clearly told him to surprise me..
what a surprise!He actually gets it this time,and this time I was really2 impressed!What did I get,well,lets just said he did it!I'm awed,and I'm falling in love all over again with my hubby..corny!yes I am..its really not about the present,its just how he manage to pull this one out..Moi couldn't not be any happier since we've been not having enough sleeps for two days,finishing last minutes order for our infamous kueh sarang semut..(alhamdulillah,duit raye!)
I must said,having to work together on this kueh really brings some level of togetherness in us.I think its officially will be our little bonding activity to do..One of those nights I'll asked him,if I died first,do you think you'll get married again?Then he said,most probably not...(aaaw!)Then I said,me too,then I go said,"I tak rase ade laki yang nak buat kueh sarang semut ngan I mcm you.."hehe..funny,but true..I'm soo lucky to have him..that I always knew..

bulan ke-9..

Hari ini Nur Ai'syah genap 9 bulan..Nur Ai'syah sekarang sudah makan macam-macam..bubur nasi,kueh-kueh,biskut,puding, selagi lembut,semua ummi suapkan..Alhamdulillah..Ai'syah ni bukan memilih rupenye..Ummi suke tengok anak Ummi makan,selere!
Ai'syah dah boleh main sendiri,kalau mulut senyap je sambil main tu,maknenye adelah projek terbaru Ai'syah..cabut soket telefon,sepahkan majalah,tak pun kunyah katalog..
Ai'syah dah pandai berkawan,dengan abang Faris,kak Aina,mak dek,pakcu,semelah..Walaupun Ai'syah tak pandai jalan lagi,tapi Ai'syah tetap join dieorang lumbe jalan itik..
Ai'syah dah pandai duduk diam bile Ummi bacakan buku...Alhamdulillah..Sampai dah nak habis bateri buku Elmo tuh..tak ape..janji anak Ummi suke buku..Ummi tak kisah..
Nur Ai'syah sudah pandai baca air muke Ummi,bile Ummi tinggi suara,Ai'syah tau Ummi marah,bile Ummi bergurau,Ai'syah pun dah pandai bergurau,siap boleh ajuk Ummi batuk lagi...Mulut Ai'syah yang kecik tu,tak henti-henti bercakap..bercakap bahasa Ai'syah la..Ummi ngan Baba tak faham...
Ai'syah,A'syah,Ai'syah...Ummi sayang Ai'syah tau...

Maher Zain - Insha Allah | ماهر زين - ان شاء الله

subhanAllah...the younger version of Yusoff Islam...thanks to Malaysia Hari Ini for playing this clip which practically made me look for his album.Even my hubby was amaze by this guy I quote he said:"Tengok,nyanyi lagu dakwah tak pakai kopiah pun orang suke jugak.."Indeed..

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak...

Alhamdulillah,its the time of the year again.The most beautiful month given by the Almighty.I call it my most peaceful month..Its not that I'm always not in peace,its just something about Ramadhan that always seems to give this sense of ease..Seriously,don't you feel the same?
My last Ramadhan was a bit challenging as I was carrying Nur Ai'syah for the 8th months.The craving,the heart burns,the cramps,the backache,and the on-and-off morning-sickness...As crazy as it sounds,I'll be happy to do it all over again..(just not this soonla!)Dispites all that,I still able to cook and made my own kueh for breakfast last year,not to mention my determination to make 6 different types of cookies for Eid was a huge success.
This year?With Ai'syah non-stops babling and trying to walk and crawling and licking,and eating every single thing that she can get a hold off,I'm officially fully occupied.Unless her baba is home,I find it impossible to concentrate in the kitchen,unless I put her on her high chair which would irritates her less than 5 minutes.I don't think that I'll be as productive as I was last year..LOL!
Any who,as suggested by my dearly husband,who is very confident that we will get orders for our infamous kueh sarang semut, I will try my best to concentrate in fulfilling all the orders (soo far 10 boxes)Okla tuh...not soo bad..Praying that at the same time,I will be able to do as much ibadah as I can on this month regardless on how hard its been trying to catch-up with Ai'syah..
(ummi's not complaining about you dear,just telling how well you're doing these days..:))
To those who's been reading this,I pray that all of us to have a blissful Ramadhan...InsyaAllah..

I am grateful because..?

Taken from The Secret,one of the things that one should always remind themselves of is by making this list..

1. to still being able to breath,to use all of my God given body accordingly..
2. to have my hubby n my baby...:))
   
3. to have a family that functions well.(i think soo)
4. to have a roof over my head,and all other basic necessities.
5. to spend every single day with my lil sunshine watching her every step of the way...

Ai'syah is 8 months old today!Ummi's very emotional..wargh!she's starting to stand on her own whenever she find anything that she can lean on to..It seems like yesterday I first saw her in that labour room,speechless..

Si Molat ku..

Buah hatii pengarang jantung ummi and baba..Nur Ai'syah sudah masuk 7 bulan...Sudah meniarap,merangkak tapi jatuh2 lagi..Cepatnya anak ummi besar!Rasa baru semalam Ai'syah menangis minta di angkat,sekarang Ai'syah dah pandai kepak2 kan tangan kalau mahu ummi atau baba angkat.
Minggu ni Ai'syah mengasah skill baru,memanjat!Tuhan saja yang tahu betapa takutnya ummi tengok Ai'syah memanjat.Duduk pun tak betul lagi.Badan ummi pun dah dijadikan tangga,apa yang penting Ai'syah boleh panjat..Ummi nampak kesungguhan anak ummi tu..Semalam entah berapa kali Ai'syah jatuh..Ummi rasa nak nanges jer bile Ai'syah nanges..Sayang ummi...Ummi tau Ai'syah tak sabar nak berdiri macam orang lain..Tapi tolonglah sabar sayang ku...Nenek ngan Tok Wan kata Ai'syah ni nak jalan cepat kot..Yeke??Alahai..anak ummi..nak jalan dah ke??

Of love and breastfeeding..

Last week my sister had to leave for Geneva (5 days) work purposes.We've been discussing on who were going to help her husband took care of her kids,especially the youngest one.Mama said she don't mind taking all three of them back to Pekan,but my sister refused to let Faris missed his school and I was more worried on Faiz cause he is fully breastfed at nite.Therefore,we decided that Faiz and Aina stayed with me while mak jang comes and stay with me to help me out since I also have my little girl crawling around the house.While Faris stayed with his dad soo that he wont missed school.
the first night was a bit hard on faiz since he is soo used of his mother's smell.somehow my mum manage to comfort him and he sleeps.around subuh time he cried again,poor boy,I decided that I should just gave him my milk.(has been agreed by both parents and my hubby beforehand)He was a bit confused at first,but then continued drinking untill his full.Alhamdulillah.later he cried I fed him again.Ai'syah now officially have a big brother!*practically the look of the week,Ai'syah and Faiz fighting over the fan remote control,Aina refused to interfere cause she wants to sleep.LOL~


Whenever I fed him,I kept thinking this would probably happened to Ai'syah if I decided to go back to work,and its such a relief to know that I'm there for her.Faiz is way independent since my sister send him to her office nursery,so during day I don't really have to fed him up untill evening cause my sister fed him during lunch break.Ai'syah on the other hand never experienced nursery let alone staying with anyone else but me and her baba.
The few days he was a bit shy with me,then day-3,he starts playing with me and whenever I call him to come to me,he jump right on my lap waiting to be fed..aww...how cute is that?
Thanks to makjang for coming to the rescue for I don't think I can yet handle 3 kids at one time.It was a good practice though.(Seriously,found a new respect for my sister who had to take care and work at the same time,even mama had help when we were small)Tabik spring!Toing3!
I really missed Aina's singing Air pasang pagi..these are her version:

Air pasang pagi,sulut putol lima,
nonya manyun pagi,ciram potok bunya,
potok bunya melo,tanam tepi bolam,
itek betulo,ayam, menetas,
cik babe,yatuh lalam payit,
cik aminah atawe,laret.laret!

I've record it on my phone,but I cant yet transfer it.Aina is the best.I wished one day Ai'syah got that smart , funny bit of Aina.makcik..makcik...Ummi missed you!

Berbaloi ker??

Saye bukan alim sangat..tapi satu bende yang paling saye pantang...orang yang memang dh lame bertudung,bukak tudung mase kahwin!Woh!Pantang betul saya..Tak tau kenape,tapi rase macam..Tolonglah!Iyer,ade kate2 (Correct me if i'm wrong) "Berkerjalah kamu bersungguh-sungguh hari ini,seperti kamu akan mati esoknya.." Tapi die takde pulak kate,cabutlah tudung sekali,sebab anda hanye kawen sekali..Ha?ade2??TAKDEKAN??
Iyer,betul..it's all about personal choices..kubur lain2..yer itu jugak..tapi tolongla!tolong!kenape?hampir sepanjang hidup anda bertudung,tapi pada hari yang mulia,perkahwinan(sangat suci!)kenapa anda memilih utk buat dosa??kenapa?tolonglah fahamkan saye..sebab saye tak faham..Bukankah membina masjid itu sungguh besar pahalanya??Meraikan pernikahan itu besar hikmahnya?kenapa perlu buka aurat yang selama ini dijaga?
Saye memang emo pasal bende ni..Siapa yang terkena dan terasa saya mintak maaf..Ini PENDAPAT saya.Berbaloike?Bile tue2 anak2 tengok gambar mak mase mude2 seme bertudung,tetibe die tengok mase kawen mak tak pakai tudung..Ape agaknye mak jawab?
"Owh,tu skali je mak bukak tudung..mase kawen.."Adik nanti pun bleh bukak tudung bile kawen..Yer mak yer?

p/s:emosi mungkin dipengaruhi PMS.sukela..blog aku..LOL!

Dugaan...

Dalam hidup ini,kite sentiase di uji dan sedar atau tidak kite juge menguji diri dan orang di sekeliling kite.Tak kira apa jua ujian itu sebagai hamba di bumi Allah ini seharusnya kita sedar bahawa ujian2 ini jugalah yang mengukur keimanan dan ketaqwaan kita kepada Yang Maha Esa. Saya juga kadang2 lalai dan lupa tentang hakikat itu,tapi semenjak melahirkan seorang amanah dari Allah yang kami namakan Nur Ai'syah,saya rasa pandangan saya tentang perkara di sekeliling semakin berbeza.Segala-galanya semakin jelas,sesetengah persoalan yang tak pernah dapat dijawab seakan-akan terbuka dengan sendiri..Kenapa hari ini bicara saya serius sebegini?Mungkin kerana sesuatu telah terjadi menyebabkan saya mahu berkongsi.Ingatlah,ujian dan dugaan yang Allah beri pasti ada hikmahnya.Janganlah kita alpa dengan dugaan dunia,semuanya sementara..Tolonglah ingat amanah Allah kepada kita..Ya Allah...Maha Besar,Maha Mengetahui, permudahkanlah segala urusan kami Ya Allah...amin...

p/s:saya bukan berceramah,tapi mengingatkan diri sendiri dan sape2 yg mungkin membaca blog ini...WaAllahhuallam..

I AssUmed..

What an easy way,

I assumed you've said it,

You assumed you don't need to said it,

I assumed you've understand it,

You assumed I wouldn't understand it,

Then you'll assumed I cried because of it,

And I'll just assumed you never really care if I did,

Cause at the end of the day,

When you see the words ASSUME,

It's simply said,

We're making an ASS of U and ME;

anyway..

Ketika itu,aku dan Ai'syah duduk berdua,bergurau-senda,air mata mengalir mengenang
baby Ayie yang sebaya dgn anak ku..Ya Allah..bersyukurnya hambaMu ini....

Murah!Murah!

Walaupun saye tidak se-nerd kakak saya,tapi saye ade satu hobi yang agak bermanfaat iaitu membeli buku.Tak kire buku lame ke buku baru,saye suke perasaan di kelilingi oleh buku2.Dulu zaman2 Shahputra,bile saye stress saye pergi Popular sorang2 dan duduk dekat celah2 rak buku smbil bace buku smpi budak dlm kedai tu pandang saye tak puas hati.(Eleh nanti org belila!)
Cinta pade buku cerite ni memang wujud dari kecik,terime kasih kepada mama saya yang rajin bawak kiteorg pg kedai buku takpun hadiah birthday,mesti buku cerite.
Kembali kepade tajuk diatas,kakak saye selaku org kuat Goodreads Malaysia dah lame ajak syae ke Amcorp Mall sbb ade satu kedai buku ni yang entah camane boleh jual harge yang sgt murah berbanding kedai2 buke biasa.Saye ade jugak tgk website kedai ni dan sgt teruje,cume suami saye bukan jenis orang yg suke duduk dlm kedai buku lame2,so die pun cam buat2 tak dengor je bile sy ajak kesitu.
Sampaila beberape minggu lepas saye bacekan Ai'syah buku yg kakak saye belikan utk anak2 die,dan Ai'syah sungguh teruje barulah die ajak saye cari buku untuk anakanda kami..(thank you Ai'syah!)Bile kami msk dlm kedai tu,kami due2 gelak,mak ai!murahnye buku kat sini!buku baru tau!Entah brape byk OMG kuar dr mulut saye bile tgk harge buku dlm kedai ni.Jadi skrg,takde alasan lagi utk tidak membace!InsyaAllah,tahun ini usaha membaca akan di pertingkatkan!Amin!

p/s:special thanks to kakak kerane memperkenalkan kami dgn BookXcess!

About A Boy..

Last weekend was all about friends and family..We went to Hadi's new ginormous house not knowing that most of his family members are also there visiting.There me and Alya met Hadi's cousin named Arif,an 8 years old boy who is very2 cute(jambu giler!) and very2 smart.And if I may add, very2 polite. When the mens decided to hang around on the balcony of the 3rd floor, we stayed inside as we do not appriciate being the second-hand smokers,this boy politely asked if he could sit with us.What started as a simple hi then continued to be this long conversation about Arif's telling us story on how one each of characters in his PS3 games killed each other(the boy had a photographic memory).Then he started to teach us these texting shortform such R.U.N.S?(are you an ass),I.C.U.P (I see you pee!) MINS?(am I an ass?).And we were like,owh..okay..(we felt soo old,thank u Arif)Then comes his jokes:

• Farmer A sells fish,Farmer B sells meat.what did Farmer C sells?:Pharmacy-medicine la!
• When is the Irish potatoes are not Irish?:when it became French fries!

and etc.May I remind you that he is 8 years old?and he speak fairly good English.I just wish I had his picture taken soo that I can show you guys how cute this boy is!hehe..Talking to this boy reminded me of my childhood,how different they are,and how much different would it be for my little girl..I think Arif's parents did a very good job in raising him (dispite the texting part,he learnt it from his sisters)and pray that one day I'll be able to be the best Ummi to Ai'syah..

p/s:Arif nak jadi menantu aunty tak??LOL!

Glee FEVER!

If you read my sister post,she did mentioned on how much in love she is with Mr.Shuster..Well,me too...This week will the 1st part of the season finale and I can't wait!!!Starworld just keep on playing clips from the series and this one particular songs stick to my head like a gum..Love the lyrics,would have use it if I were teaching now...Ahh well..enjoy!

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine by John Lennon..

p/s:this songs had nothing to do with any political views..:)

Sorry,I'm not Asean!

Aku ngaku tau aku mmg tgk Fuh!,Melodi,seme..cam pekare wajib di hujung minggu..nak tengok bende bodo ape lagi artis2 Malaysia buat and ape cerite2 panas sebab aku dah malas bace Pancaindera dan yg sewaktu dengannye (exception hanye pade Siti Nurhalija:saye sayang kak siti saye!)Balik kepade topik.
Wartawan Melodi ni tunjukla muke sorang pelakon Indonesia ni , aku tak tengok citer ni tapi suami ku suke gak skali skale layan sebab budak ni comey,bolehla..Die mix Jerman.Cite tu pun takdela hit mane kat M'sia ni nak compare dengan Bawang Putih Bwang Merah dulu..Wartawan tu dokla ikut die,die baik punye buat muke belagak,muke cam Uuuu-I'm-soo-famous-please -go away kat reporter Melodi.Silap besola,lagila dieorang ni datang.
Sat lagi bleh la die cakap "I'm sorry,I don't know how to speak Malay...I'm pure German,my dad's German and my mom is Indonesian,so I have no Asean blood,sorry,I can't speak malay.."
Aku macam what the fish???Which part of Indonesian are you????aaaaaaaaaargh...bodonyer...

Family vacation..Post ini penuh dgn gambo..:)

Tahun ini 04.04.10 genap papa dengan mama berkongsi hidup 34 tahun..Dari kecik lagi tiap2 kali ulangtahun ini mama mesti amik cuti.Baru beberape tahun lepas mama suggest kami bercuti sekeluarga bile time ni..Tahun lepas tak sempat nak bercuti ramai2,tahun ni alhamdulillah..sampai hajat mama..anak menantu seme cukup..kiteorang seme happy tgk mama happy...

Posing kurus yang sangat dibenci oleh kakak ku..bahahaha!Balik kepada topik asal,kami beradik-beradik(perkataan ciptaan Vince AF) pakat nak bbq.Memandangkan akula yg agak free,make mengoffer diri utk memarinate segala ape yg nak dibakar...Tup2 mlm tu mama buat suprise plop,die dah awal rupenyer tempah segale mende kat situ..Cubelah tengok makanan ni ha....

10 dewasa, 4 kanak2, 2 baby:memang tak mampula nk dihabiskan..siap leh tapau buat breakfast ni pagi esoknyer..hehe...paperpun,terime kasih mama!

kami yang makan sampai bodo (term yg aku cipta bile mkn terlalu byk smpi takle berfikir)...syukurla...Esoknye kami ke Melake,Port Dickson ade laut yang tak brape selera,jadi aku dan suami memberi cadangan ke Melake memandangkan suami sangat biase dengan Melaka (blajo lame disitu).Tempat yang best bawak budak ialah:ZOO!!!

Sungguhla penat bejalan kat Zoo Melake,dulu zaman becinte-cinte dengan suami kami penah kesini..Mase tu jalan setengah je pastu naik bende yg mcm keretapi tuh,sekarang dah tukar plak,nak naik kene beli tiket dari front counter..Mak ai..manela nk pusing semule, zoo bapokla beso...Anakanda pun sudah mule rimas dan kepanasan...Acu tgk tu...

Baik punye baba senyum,Ai'syah sudah naik temper...Papa entah brape kali menyedup heeler die..Semput papa mengikut cucu,mak jang dengan sakit lututnye..Sian die...Mujur banyak kerusi nk rehat2..Seronok tengok abang ngah,yuyu,aina,faris and faiz excited tgk macam2 binatang..Zoo Melake teduh,tu yang best tu...Mama and yang lain semue balik esoknye,tapi aku dan suami terpakse balik malam itu jugak.Suami di panggil utk bekerje,ape boleh buat..Malam tu pas maghrib,bbq skali lagi hasil2 marinate aku dan suami...Pastu kami bertolak balik..Walaupun rase penat smpi nak nanges sebab kene balik mlm tu,aku tahan,suami ku lagi sian,kene keje lagi esok nye..jadi aku redha...Saye sayang suami saye sbb die BEST!! :))

Bawah ni gmbo pelancong dari Jepun yang sgt choooomel...Sumpah budak ni kiut!Ilang rase penat tgk die ni...

p/s:hargailah keluarga anda!

Mini Me!!

Now tell me how cute is that smile?Ai'syah now can smile,laugh,grunt,and babble,and this week she starts eating solid food(not that solid cause i mixed it with lots of water)still,she's eating now..She is currentlt 5.8kg (alhamdulillah..)There's nothing more rewarding then to wake up next to her round shinny eyes smilling at me..(Still haven't buy her own crib) And personally,I think she starts to look like me...ngeh..ngeh...They said if the girl looks like her mom,they will not get along so well,I don't buy that..Look at my sister,Kak Yah,sometimes I get this tinge of jelousy cause she's like Ma's bestfriend and she look like Ma too...So,I'm praying..one day that I'll have that with my girl..

*picture was taken by Mr Zosat when we were there to pick-up cupcakes that his wife made..Thanks Is!

saye sayang makjang saye...

I once said to Ijad that I have two mums..Well,it's true.I do have two mums;mama and mak anjang..The two most important women in my life..Now that I'm married,I have three mums..hehe..Anyway, my makjang was my mum since I was small...She practically raised me alongside my mama cause we stayed in the same house.

I think I starts sleeping with her when I was 2 or 3 years old.As mama told me when I was bigger,that she had to sneak me out from makjang's bedroom and take me to sleep with her.Then in the middle of the night, if I realized that I was not sleeping with makjang,I would cried and ran to her room instead...I remember when I was small,my family members would asked me questions such:

"nanti makjang kawin,cane?" Then I would boldly said: "Lin tolok suami makjang tido bawah" mine or mine,sometimes I had this guilt that I was responsible of her being single till today..But then again who am I to questions Allah's destiny for her?

My late Tok Wan always reminds me to take of her and I will (InsyaAllah) do my very best to gave back all the love that she had given me all this times..

I'm kidnapping her for a week to stay with me now,though she's been complaining that she got nothing to do here,I knew she is having a good time relaxing at my place...Planning to take her to do some shopping at Jusco once hubby's back..

work..not working..working???

Yes!The decision is final,I will not be working untill further notice..When it comes to that darling big sparkling eyes girl, "I" are now turned into us or we.As much as I would like to work,she's is always on top of my list as I said before.Here's some of my pro's and con's:

Pro's:(InsyaAllah)

• I would not missed her first laugh,first word,etc.


• we both would not be worried about leaving her to strangers.


• She would be able to be fully breastfeed exclusively.
  

Con's:

• Me not having my own money..(financial independency)


• me not having my own space (really?hehehe,ai'syah sleeps at 8pm)


• me having my low-self esteem syndrome again when I'm around friends who work
  

Conclusion:

The word "me" cannot be used in my case,she and we and us are more like it..As I poured out this thoughts to my very young but wise girlfriend, she then said to me " Kak Lin,janganla you risau dgn duit yg you mungkin takle nk bg kat mama you bulan2, mungkin bukan masenye lagi..Sape tahu setahun dua lagi camane,Tak semua orang sekaye you skrg,ade anak,ade suami, ade keluarge yg sayang.."

P/s:How I am glad to have a friend like you...Thank you dear..:))

4 years..and its growing stronger...

I can still remember one particular night that completely change my life..

That late night phone call..

That conversation that brings a smile and a happy tears to my eyes....

That one answers that kept me blushing...

That proposal...That declaration...That you are falling for me....

And that I am falling into you....

Sayang...I love soo much...And I pray that this love will last forever...

Only He knows how thankful I am to have you in my life..

Your my knight in shining armour, my hero , and my Superman....

kerja!kerje!

woh!Ai'syah sudah 2bln..cepatnye..dah pandai menegur,senyum, and best skali mencemik..olo2..cayang ummi..kembali kepade tajuk,esok interview pertama,last interview sblm ni dgn "mereke2 -yg-tidak-punye-hati" walaupun berjaye,tp tak kemane..jd esok sy akan interview for the post of educational writer..ape tu?hmm..tidak brape sure,rase cam tulis2 workbook or magazines for schools.I thinkla..well,will see..

Paperpun doakan yg terbaik,ade rezeki,adela kan?Beratnye rase nk tinggalkan buah hati saye,haih!(blum dpt keje lg dah nk emo2 pikir cane nk tggal anak..)Till then...Later!

How fast time flies...

It is coming to the end of my confinement period here in my home sweet home Pekan.All these mixed emotion of having to go back and be on my own is starting to scare me..All the questions are running through my head:

• can I do this on my own?
• can I handle the stress?
• am I going to be able to work IF I manage to get a job?
• will I'll be able to be a good mother,wife and a daughter at the same time?

now lets try to answer all the questions..

• well,technically,my hubby's at home most of the time,so I still have help cause I knew his very helpful,just not as much help compared to having my family members helping me now and the fact that I'll have to do my wifey chores(cook,clean,etc)
• i should be able to handle the stress giving the fact that I would probably won't be working...lol!
• hmm..that's a tricky one,I'll get back when it make sense to me..huhu..
• InsyaAllah...if my mama can,I can!woh!(Malaysia Boleh!)

Conclusion:I am a helpless spoil women who soo used of having helps around..but then again why would I be complaining if I have such a caring family rite?:)
