Have you been on a driver-less PUTRA or STAR LRT in Kuala Lumpur recently? (For those who knows me, I have stopped using them for a while after this ONE nasty incident 7 years ago..)jeng, jeng, jeng! Anyway, that’s beside the point..just wanna share few tips:- 1. ”Kak Nana, psst! psst! Tak boleh rebut2..sekarang kena que lar”.. Whispered one of my colleagues from behind when I have this muka tak malu acting sebijik macam student matrik rebut bas Sala during unidays in UUM, Sintok. I was surprised that EVERYONE adhered to this one rule.. semua orang beratur dengan tertib untuk menaiki LRT semasa waktu puncak (peak hours). Caya lah..! 2. If you are going down the escalator to reach the station, make sure you stand on the left..(but if in London underground it would be on the right). This is to give way to the impatient passenger (like me!) or people who in a hurry to manually walk/run down despite the automated moving staircase.. This too, amazed me.. ! majority able to comprehend to...

Blog collecting webcob.. Blogging put on hold! Systems going live, Many proposals to be written, budget submission dateline, kids just recovered from exam fever, another reunion is due, other half starting outbound trip again (nak ikut!), Passport renewal, Qurban lembu, 2010 holiday plan.. Kiddies need more attention, California or Davos? U decide babe.... Pics: Gambar penyejuk hati with Swiss mountain background..*hint hint* Cuti susah nak approve ni...

1. Tarian Pendet : Cannot think who is the idiot behind the publisher of the paid channel that 'accidentally' aired the classical dance as Malaysian traditional/cultural dance in their documentary. Shouldn't one filter, review or perform due diligence before publishing it? Tak buat proper study ker ? Kan da marah kawan tu .. 2. Batik : They claimed that it is their batik! To me both country produce the material but Indonesian batik design is far different from our local batik. 3. Manohara Odelia Pinot : This could go on forever, no fairy tale stories but neither would I wanna know about the beauty nor the prince! But she politically use the right timing to create sensation to the already-at-stake relationship between the 2 country.Indonesian public, of course, showed great support for Manohara . I think that the reason she went there was again, to gain easy sympathy among the provoked Indonesians, and that she wanted to widen her support ground. She is such a...

I am a foodies goodies, (ya, saya seorang yang suka makan). I love to try new places, not necessarily it has to be fancy, 'warung' is also included. So when the booklet on upcoming 2009 Chef United MIGF (Malaysia International Gourmet Festival) was handed to me, I quickly flipped through the pages looking for the must-try-restaurant AND on the lam-alif-lam-ha status (Surprisingly there was only ‘ pork free ’ indicator available-Hadhari la katakan) . You see, I began to be a 'vigilant' halal person on the food that I consume starting on my first pregnancy. (We muslim believe that not only the food has to be 'halal' but the source of income that we pay for the food must also be pure (suci-putrity; alamak! I am indirectly servicing a conventional bank, macam mana tuh?) When I had Haziq in my tummy, I didn’t have any of that ‘finger lickin’ good brand AT ALL after watching this one video aired by TV3 (PPIM raided the chicken farm, it was damn filthy and the sembelih...

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...

Mana anak ibu Yang sulung putih kulitnya itu Comel pipinya kulitnya gebu Sampai orang sangkakan ibu dulu pembantu Mana anak ibu Satu perempuan yang petahnya mulutnya Tak tahu duduk diam tingkah laku Jadi tunggang langgang rumah jadinya Mana anak ibu Si kecil bam bam pipinya itu Harinya penuh senyum selalu Manjanya dia terlebih-lebih Wahai anak-anak ibu Janganlah nakal janganlah sedih Ibu doakan bersama kasih Semoga menjadi anak yang soleh Solat jangan dilupa bila waktunya Agama jadikan pedoman Ilmu jadikan panduan InsyaAllah hidupmu dirahmati Tuhan

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...
