I was faithfully writing a proposal in the office when I had this 'shaky' feelin.. After few minutes, Nurul urgent everyone to leave the building (saw some people running around at the lobby). Apparently it has been confirmed that there was an earthquake in Indonesia ( thanks to Tuan Khairul for his suppa-de-duppa update, phuh! ). When I was updating this, there were 5 people at my department who hesitance to leave the office (I'm included). Some of other major buildings in the golden triangle has requested their tenant to evacuate the building. Ada gegaran susulan...JOM BALIK!(Unta? Berbaloi to die for?)

p/s: Fuyoo....!!! Nonoi cakap ini barang mahal...ngeh ngeh ngeh! * evil grin * :p (tapi harga Nikon itu bule dirunding ka?)

Raya : Had a good one except that MAJOR damaged done to other half''s wallet. Most expensive raya ever. Terima kasih Tuhan swt (dan suami) atas rezeki kali ini. Shopping? I will repent.. for real (Ya Allah, please give me strength) Still on raya : Glad that abang Lan came back for raya. Mak was happy until 5th day of raya when he depart back. We promise mak that we will be flying off to visit abg Lan at middle east next year IF Allah's (and financial) permits..inshaAllah. Passing : Al-fatihah to Atuk Rusdi who passed away two days before Eid. Al-fatihah Life : happy with hubby's new success story, alhamdulillah. Like ustaz said, "kejayaan pun adalah satu dugaan, Allah nak duga how far we'll get carried away with it"... Subhanallah Work : Busy with system migration .. (this was written kat opis la pagi2 sabtu nih, nak nangis pun ada..) Hutang? InshaAllah bayar hutang puasa soonest possible, partly motivated by fidyah sponsored by hubby. Bola? Macam tering...

Sometimes Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul. HE breaks our heart to makes us whole. HE sends us pain so we can be stronger. HE sends us failure to makes us humbler. HE sends us illness so we can take care of ourselves. Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything.. Allahuakbar! p/s: Beautifully composed..received this from a friend for raya greetings.Selamat Hari raya. Maaf dari saya .

How to fully enjoy raya when I have to work on Saturday, 26th Sept for system migration? Christmas? they declare embargo period, even big meetings are cancelled but raya time not important. Reason : There are non-malays that can support the migration during the festive season. Haku? How to implement 1Malaysia nih? An apology to my team (and others that had to come back that day). I will be on site as well (tak buleh la haku nak pi open house hari itu) . Looks like kita di jajah inggeris lagi. Have been very loyal for not taking any Raya leave for the first 10 years (until took a day off last year). And my name will be on top for standby during the early years since I'm local. adakah berbaloi? Macam Nami kata "sudah makan pengat" (sendiri mau ingat).. at least I have a job.. I am grateful for what I have, alhamdulillah.

One morning after sahur Mak was crying thinking of her belated sister.. (al-fatihah untuk bibik Hairiya) and coincidentally that nite I hardly close my eyes thinking of the tazkirah day before. The tazkirah was about 'mati' & ustaz was saying antara benda yang paling hampir dalam bulan Ramadhan adalah 'mati'. Rasa sayu bila teringat balik the things that used to haunt me..; ..who will take care of my children when I'm gone? ..sapa nak bayar hutang2 ku, ganti puasa ku? ..sapa nak tanggung org2 di bawah tangunggan ku? ..will I be able to repent before the time come? ..adake amalan untuk bekalan? To other other half ; terima kasih kerana maafkan dosa2 dan membayarkan fidyah ibu . Today another passing came to my ears, being a budak cengeng,I just can't help this teary eyes upon hearing that Sara's arwah sis-in law just gave birth before her passing. Semoga Allah menempatkan mereka yang telah pergi dikalangan orang2 mukmin yang beriman dan semoga mereka ya...

Ramadhan is coming to an end. , dimanakah saya?:- I have religiously wear baju kurung to office thruout Ramadhan.. rasanye decent enuff to attend the daily tazkirah..( layak kah saya masuk Wanita Melayu aka sopan dan ayu contest itu?) To date I only missed 2 tazkirah (alhamdulillah). Pray that I will be able to implement the things that I have learnt from the ceramah. There are a lot of knowledge that I have gained and I also accidentally meng "amin" kan to the ustaz when he was praying (doa) for the male audience & female's other half to expand their network (kawin 2?) No major damaged to wallet (yet). I was at Low Yatt yesterday looking for Nazurah's DVD gadget & notebook cooler for Haziq until I stumbled upon this... ( Cis! ada ke patut canon buat promo for EP1 besar2-an kat foyer tuh! ) I believe 'setan memang kena rantai bulan puasa ' else the credit card itu memang tercedera coz I realize I did perform more than one tawaf round the booth. (Hey EP...

Want to recap some sweet moments few weeks before Ramadhan , I bump into my ex- UUM mate.. one of the gathering is an accidental meeting with the Mia's. Yup! I was so terkejut beruk excited to see them ( tapi kumpulan Mia ni cool ajer , tak nampak teruja pun). Imagine how big Pavi is and of all places we bump into each other is at Tepanyaki . Speaking of coincident, it was the moment that both Harrie & I were talking about Mr. Mia when he suddenly appear before us ( Iffil /Sara : mail me if you wanna know what it is all about.. ) Had lunch Kak Lyn Sukma ( ye, your 2 nd LV memang cantik * jeles *) & later joined Niena & Liza. Anyway, love meeting you guys, though it wasn't a plan one (it was supposed to be their BFF meeting). And I swear it was the first time that I had to ponteng skip work in my 12 th year career. Big credit to my team who never failed to cover amazed their ' kepala '. Had another ex- UUM gathering at KLCC . I must adm...

Have you ever surprised how sharp tongued can some people be? For those who knows me, ‘cursing’(or cakap melayu maki!) is one big pantang & truly a one trait that is a NO, NO compromise!. It is truly an ear sore upon hearing some people cursing others, be it the makcik nasi lemak raising her voice to her foreign assistance or some drivers raising their middle finger to the law breaker motorcyclist. I believe there are other alternative than having to said ba-alif-ba-ya or the big ‘F’ word . My favourite would be ba-wau-dal-wau-ha (yup, I spell them instead of saying “bodoh” out loud). "Bangang" is also in my vocabulary but me & hubby favourite terms would be K-H-E (my in law gonna kill me if they know the meaning, he he..) I pray that I don’t have to use/say any of the dirty words throughout my life. Well, I admit that I do use them for the Israelis Jew who continuously hurt the Palestinian people (they burnt the Palestinan dates farm ‘ladang kurma’ during this ramadh...

Pics taken during Raya 1982 @ 9 years old (Can you see my head behind Abg Lan, peeping out from the car? When I was 6 MOM : Makan! Makan ! kalau tak makan nanti lambat besar (while chasing after me around the house, forcing me to eat) Now at 36! HUBBY: Woit! Hujan pun sudah berhenti lar.. tak habis2 makan lagi? When I was 6 MOM : Cepat mandi! Nak masuk waktu maghrib nih.. Now at 36 BIBIK d MAID : Adik tak mandi petang yer (alamak!) When I was 6 MOM : Baca buku, nanti cepat pandai Now at 36 HUBBY : Stop reading lar wei, your kids are turning the house upside down When I was 6 MOM : Makan nasi sampai habis..kalau tak nanti ayam mati (?) Now at 36 ORANG2: Oit! Jangan la makan bagi habis, ingat la orang belakang.. When I was 6 MOM : Tu la tak mau makan pasai tu badan kurus Now at 36 ORANG2 : Makan kuat tapi tak gemuk2! (*malu*)

Just a little reminder that "September" is just round the corner (jika dipanjangkan umur, InshaAllah. What's special in Sept? I'am sure looking forward to this:- -Ramadhan (hope another record breaking puasa this year) & Raya!!! -write off another hutang (big one!) -Birthdays (mak & bapak, nieces, nephews) -and finally oooooh! ooooh!..... *wink*wink* ( Hi babe: You look good in your Ed Hardy ~bodek sikit)

Ustaz Asri Quote:- Sesuatu yang baik, belum tentu benar. Sesuatu yang benar, belum tentu baik. Sesuatu yang bagus, belum tentu berharga. Sesuatu yang berharga/berguna, belum tentu bagus. Fikiran yang terbuka dan mulut yang tertutup merupakan suatu kombinasi kebahagiaan. Semakin banyak Anda berbicara tentang diri sendiri, semakin banyak pula kemungkinan untuk Anda berbohong. Jika Anda tidak bisa menjadi orang pandai, jadilah orang yang baik. Note: Let us pray that we are included in the 'orang yang baik' circle, or at least working hard to be one. Al-fatihah untuk mereka yang telah pergi InsyaAllah semoga hari-hari mendatang kita akan jadi insan yang lebih BAIK. Amin

I had an 'overwhelming' *sebak* on the 13th August…sebak for few reasons.. one of them, in grief upon hearing the passing of Ustaz Asri, the lead singer of the famous nasyid Rabbani. 8 years ago, while conceiving Haziq, I admire Ustaz Aqil sooooo… much that I own a collection of his CD’s . However after his official transformation to a commercial singing ustaz, I have turned to Ustaz Asri. (Still in disbelief of his demise) I am a fan of the series of dzikir in Astro Oasis channel which also aired Ustaz Asri. (He also contributed his poem in this channel-hope they will continue to aired this) Snippets from Ustaz Asri's blog:- Aku adalah pengejar syurga akhirat, bagiku dunia ini adalah tempat mempersiapkan segala sesuatu untuk meraih syurga akhirat; aku yakin bahawa syurga akhirat tidak akan pernah dapat aku raih kecuali aku boleh menikmati syurga dunia terlebih dahulu. Maka rumah dan keluargaku adalah syurga dunia paling indah buatku. Tempat kerja syurga dunia harianku. Tet...

I received an email from a friend last week (Thank you Nur Afizah!), honestly, it is the type that I would usually scan briefly before hitting “delete”. But this message, started with a simple question that caught my attention. “Have you ever watched your parents while they were asleep?” Coincidentally, a week before that mak also ask me similar to that ..”..pernah tengok bapak waktu dia tidur? Kurus kan da tak macam dulu? Nampak sangat da tua..” . It’s easy to watch bapak sleep cause he at time takes nap in between his daily routine of picking up his grandchildren from school but mak hardly sleep during the day (nite? I'd normally dozed off before her). I like to watch my children while they are asleep. It’s like a therapy to me..very calming, very soothing, peaceful.., cuddly , sweet smelling & all of it but I don’t really watch my parents while they were sleeping… be it mak, the woman who takes care of my (& my children!) daily needs, constantly nagging (scolding?) for t...

I could die watching the clock ticking (yang teramat lembab!) till it’s 5.45pm. Update: So far things are still in order.. Systems performing well. I need something to kill time!! Bengong la aku dok makan gaji buta hari-hari kat opis nih. Where to start? H1N1? There’s 4 death cases yesterday, most of them came up with a statement “..ingatkan demam biasa..”. So I pray hard that the fever that we all are having is purely ordinary fever. Rock Kapak Konsert? Yes, this mother of three went to the concert at Bukit Kiara with other half for head bangin’. Thru out the concert, I only knew 2 songs and keep on saying “woi! Aku tak tau nyanyi lagu ni!”. And oh yes, I still have the energy to stand thru out the concert like old time sake. Hutang? OOhhhh.. this has been haunting me day & nite. I still owe MARA about RM3K for the computer loan during uni days. They have been very nice to let me re-shedule the installment & even said something like this to hubby “ Encik hutang sikit pun san...

A recent demise that involves many big names :- Michael Jackson, Yasmin Ahmad and the non stop article written about them has inspired me to write this. In relates to this, a friend fb status read “ what will happen to my children when I’m gone?” , got me thinking for a while. What will happen to me, my love ones & my children when it is due? I would normally have this feeling when the EDD (expected delivery date) is near…or while Im left alone in the labor room. The passing may be less painful and short for some (Subhanallah) , and for some can be in coma or bedridden for months. (I pray that I don’t have to be a burden to others during my sickness, ) Who will take care of me if I’m incapable to take care of myself? Who will carry me to the bathroom if my legs can no longer support me? Who will read to me when my vision has gone impaired? Who will feed me when my hands are too weak to lift? Who will holler at me if my ears can no longer hear? Another thing that inspires me to wri...

Did you come across this in last week’s newspaper? This is about a group of Malaysian (or shall I call it ex-Malaysian?) who renounced their Malaysian nationality and claimed that they had acquired BOC status by virtue of being born in the two former British colonies before 1983 following an amendment to the British Nationality Act, which created a residual BOC category. Most of the BOCs are from Penang and Malacca who had been misled into giving up their Malaysian citizenship, but now find themselves stateless as they are not entitled to British nationality. What caught my attention was our Foreign Minister, Datuk Anifah statement “… renouncing their Malaysian citizenship did not mean they were “less patriotic” — as they could have been trying to find better jobs and better living condition for themselves and their children” I dare not say anything or have my one cent worth of advise publicly.. (Probably if I were in their shoe I’d do the same? Better jobs? Better living condition? A...
