Malaysiaku gemilang


My family (which means parents, brothers, sister in law, nephew and nieces) is famous for arranging last minute gathering. Last week for example, it was almost 4pm when we decided to check in Putrajaya IOI Palm resort just to watch the fireworks. Since limited rooms available, we decided to hit 2 executive suites.. (maids are included)

The fireworks? It was a spectacular show (that nite was by Italianos).. but the whole excitement was brought down by a 3 hour bumper to bumper jam to reach the hotel.
And that’s how we celebrated my eldest brothers’ birthday.

We also watched the Merdeka march at Dataran. The kids were very happy.
Abg Lan reminded everyone to wear red shirt to mark our group (acah jer, easy to spot sebenarnya)

It was mak & my niece, Yana ‘s & Nurul’s birthday on Sunday… Abg Lan called me at 2pm and come up with the idea that we should skip the normal celebration at restaurant, so.. BBQ’s at my place since (I have the utilities buffet tray, chairs, buffet tables,..etc). Since I am a frequent “makan-makan” organizer, it took me less than 2 hours (with bibik’s help, of course) to prepare the salad, mushroom soup, buns, drinks, mee hoon and setting up the table & chairs for 50 people. The rest of the family added the menu i.e nasi lemak, sandwiches, lots of kuih2, fruits, 3 b’day cakes.

Refer pix: Everyone agreed that we’ll leave it to uncle Lan & wife for future bbq thingy (esp the marinates, the grill part) since they are good at it. Clean & tasty!

Nazurah behaved herself (as usual) during the party. The point is, everyone had fun and birthday girl(s) were happy.

Happy belated merdeka to all. Malaysia boleh!!

There's a saying.. When we first wake up in the morning, we're in a high vulnerable state.  Our reaction in the morning will determine our mood throughout the day. Our mood will impact the people around us. Just a short reminder to myself, as I have promised that I will not let anyone determine my mood & I will not depend on anyone for my happiness. But I pledge to others happy :-) So please remember Bangun pagi Gosok gigi Cuci muka Pegi mandi Tenangkan hati Solat jangan lupa! Keep calm,  Ingat Tuhan swt p/s: Yeay. Finally!

Home mum..Working mum

Homemakers vs. Working Moms: Redefining Roles and Appreciating Each Other The debate surrounding the roles of working moms and homemakers (or, as I prefer to call them, full-time housewives) has been ongoing. It is important to acknowledge that both play crucial roles within the family institution. While I don't deny that the tasks of a homemaker are demanding, exhausting, and often lacking in glamour or excitement, I stand corrected in recognizing that working moms face their own set of challenges too. The office is no playground for many working moms. We struggle, work tirelessly, face criticism from bosses and clients, and also bear significant responsibility for our subordinates. We take care of their well-being, support their career paths, and even contribute to charitable causes. Finding the time to perform solat promptly can be nearly impossible if one is not brave enough to excuse themselves and walk out secara sopan from unnecessary, stressful meetings. Nevertheless, I pr...

You talk big, I talk talk

I have this ‘pantang’ against those who like to “talk big”.. my mother always disapprove this one attitude in me.. (She is more like “ let other people have glory at times..~ to me she let it happen ALL the times) So I tried my best not to show my disagreement by not saying the thing I REALLY wanted to say.. (This is especially to elderly) Woman 1: Your house is ok, but I’ll never get myself committed to a long term loan and I’d prefer to purchase a house in cash Nana : Of course you do, you kan banyak duit (Inner voice: Is that why you are still renting one?) Woman 1: Hello auntie, we stay in Damansara, Ampang is lame.. Nana : Auntie cant afford one dear, rumah situ mahal (Inner voice: First: it’s kota damansara aka sg buloh not Damansara heights, Second: my house is more expensive than yours, Third :you don’t even own the house) Woman 1: *checking out the wnq5200* We never set our eye on german made cars, we prefer Italian Nana : *just smile* (Inner voice: just because you own neith...
