BB.. What is that?

There are many abbreviation out there which have multiple meaning. For example, a 'HP' will indicates a vendor to an IT person while it means a loan product to the business team. Another simple example one goes like this; If you talk BB to Iffil, he may talk wonders of the mobile gadget BB=Blackberry If you mention BB to Alin, she would happily tell you the difference between Elianto, Silky Girl or Face Shop BB=Blemish Balm If you saw a BB on my sms to other half, that means I'm being nice :) , I'm always nice what? BB=Baby UKM undergrads who lives in BB means they are not staying in the campus vicinity BB=Bandar Baru Bangi The illegal DVD seller who gives a two thumbs up as a BB will make the 'hamsap' customer happy BB=Barang Baik Some of the naughty team in the office will send a big BB to a job request, which simple mean... Boley Blah! (Don't ever practise this.. Bad manners nih)

Here and there

Last 2 weeks has been ultimately hectic.. Sangat-sangat penat! This is especially with flu and cold accompanying me. Truly a month to remember. Despite having to spend quality time with kids during the middle east & Singapore trip, I miss them terribly at work. Honestly, I am not one of the parents who would go for 2nd, or 3rd honeymoon. (As for hubby's official outbound trip, no matter how important it was, I would rather not follow him if the kids can’t come along). Like hubby said, a trip/vacation suppose to make us happy, but it would be pointless without kids because they are our happiness. Many has suggest to leave the kids behind for holy land trip.. but Zalia in Riyadh has strongly encouraged, she even share some tips ..(InsyaAllah anak2ku, jika diizinkan Allah swt). Holy land is still on top of the list (still ‘menabung’ nih!) Mission almost accomplished for trip checklist this year.. yup! Covered the 3 places in a month. Despite returning from Lion City the night befo...

February gone

Image
February gone too soon Time flies too fast this time But it was sailing fine Because of many holidays And the short working days February gone too soon was it because I was away? In UAE, Kuwaiti land, KL and Singapore The places that I have been wishing for So 70% of checklist I have score! February gone too soon May be because March already peeping through? Can’t even wait for another day Especially because my birthday is coming And wondering what will I be getting? Hihihi… Life has been so blessed..syukur Ya Allah.

Off mating season?

Imej ihsan google I've blogged about this couple of years back, just have to say this..., the 'season' is on again..!! A recent tele-conversation with a friend goes like this... '.. Ok, bye for now..send my regards to your missus' .. '.. me & missus are no longer toghether Nana!, we've got divorce last week!' 'errr ...*speechless*' My thinking was, wah! he was saying it happily.. sukanye dia! (2 months after that, an accidental bump in a photographer website explained the whole thing..) Off late many marriages ended tragically.. it hurts, because those are the people I know.. :(.. and it scares the hell out of me. Let's go through the list of common reason that came to these 2 ears. ( Ini adalah pendapat peribadi semata-mata, tiada dipengaruhi mana-mana pihak ):- 1) Irreconcilable differences Hard to accept, why? sebab bercinta macam nak rak bertahun-tahun, marriage last when the little kid only started teething? 2) 'Third Party'...

I’m BAD, I’m BAD!

(Those who have closely follow my blog would understand what this entry is all about..) Oooohh I’m so bad, Posting my heart out Not using my mind Till cause some hardship To the unintended one (Refering to rumah ‘Kota Damansara’ which addressed to KAKAK itu but cousin pulak terasa-nangis katanye. BTW KAKAK itu pun has already send one of her kids to some elite private school, yeay!) Ooooh I’m so bad Calling people’s name in my blog For clearing the gossiping about my loved ones But end up I am the one seeking an apology Even though the juicy story is about me (Refer to ‘Lita’ story.. shouldn’t I stand by my love ones?) Ooooh I’m so bad For standing by my principle out loud Not knowing what the impact would be For being silence all my life Until I post something in this space (Refer to the silence mode..kekadang lupa “cheraken” ayat nenek!) Ooooh I’m so bad For letting them talking about me For causing them leaving provoking comments in my blog For not having any feelings towards their ...

May be? May be not?

FB reconnects me with many friends around the globe..and I always wonder how does it feel to be away from home for so long like them. In the recent trip to Dubai, we met another Malaysian friends working there..and like others, they share their experience working in foreign land. I would say that my brother's departure to oil land is a different situation.. I guess he made the decision partly because he knows that our parents are in the good hand of the remaining siblings back home; abang, nami & myself (puji sendiri) Can I be like them? I don’t think so.. ( penghijrahan kawan2 ke Kulim pun sudah cukup meng'teruja'kan kan saya ) And I remember having sleepless nite when other half were reconsidering the Bahrain's offer. Why not? Let me see, my list goes like this:- 1) Called me old fashioned but I need to be surrounded by family..my parents, brothers, sisters, in laws, nephew nieces.. I already spend many years fulfilling the 'educational' requirement..and i...

Home...it feels good to be here again..

My 10 days middle east escapade has finally ends. I am home. The place I belong. I had fun & I think the pictures in my fb explained everything... The last minute travel plan was smooth alhamdulillah (but I think my parents would be serik to travel with my 3 kiddies again)...and just soo happy to see Uncle Lan & family. Arab land was sure an expensive country. Dubai was truly a cosmopolitan city while Kuwait is far from what I imagined. The land was filled with hummer, lamborghini & Ferraris! Will write more bout my trip.. still jetlagging (kerana orang jakun ini sudah lama tidak 'terbang'). Seronoknya da balik..especially when laksa is just a few minutes away :)

Mental development

2010 begins with hectic schedule.. Too hectic that even a visit to the loo is getting lesser. Hadoi, if it is gonna be like this all they way, I'm going to age faster than I should be. Blogging put on hold but I still drop a line or two in fb. Thanks to mobile technology (bb & 3gs to be exact), photos uploading made easy. It's still a long way ahead. Still a law abiding citizen.. Praying for more good things to come, insyaAllah. ..and to continue to start each day by appreciating, being grateful to the Almighty swt for all the blessing. Alhamdulillah... Thank you Yoi for reminding us to be thankful with what we have.

School Holiday Part 2

Haziq: Lets play riddle ibu! Dalam banyak2 jam, jam apa yang paling panjang? Mom: dunno? Haziq: jam- batan (jambatan) Haziq: Jam yang bule sikat? Mom: jam-bul *dalam hati: aik! Bukan aku ke yg bagi soalan ni dulu?* Haziq: Jam yang paling busuk? Mom: Jam-ban Haziq: Jam yang bule makan? Mom: Jam-bu Haziq: Ok! Ok.. English version lak, what kind of die is shining?

A: Blackberry Q: Singing black? A: Black eye pea (kang aku jawab black dog bone kang nangis plak) Q: Delicious black? A: Black forest Q: Hardest black? A: Black metal Q: Hottest black? A: Black pepper

Another closure

I am welcoming the new hijrah (Alhamdulillah, panjang umur..) and welcoming the 2010 with a new spirit. Some people blog when something BIG happen to them.. Well, same here. Some of the BIG event throughout the year can be concluded as such:- The year begins with my auntie's demise. Her loss felt till to date, especially when mak still visits her graveyard constantly. Al-fatihah to Allayarhamah Hairiyah... I am officially a mother of THREE!!!!! Hazim’s arrival in March was truly another moment in life. We no longer an Ampang resident! Setiawangsa is the place now, I'm adjusting to the new home slowly.. I now value & appreciate every single cents in hand since ALL credit cards has been terminated (big achievement nih!). NO branded procurement…(errr.. may be because of item (3) above?) but many showered with many freebies, among them are Blackberry, iPod touch, iPod shuffle, Mont Blanc ..(bestnye kalau bule tukar jadi duit!) A year with full of reunions!! CBNers, UUM… I am so...

Twilight Zone

"I cannot believe I am actually watching this" "Buduh nye pompuan ni, so selfish!" "OMG people actually paid to watch this?" "Lembab nyer citer nih..." Above are among the statement by my other half while watching the latest vampire box office, New Moon..Kesian dia (and other audience sorround him, hi hi hi... ) All in all, 1. it is such a heavy love story drama (tiada unsur lawak langsung!), sesuai for lovebirds (like me!) 2. Oooooh, I do enjoy watching Jacob's six packs *drool* ;p 3. Agreed with other half, Bella tu memang selfish, she is so feeling-less (tak senyum, tak nangis, tak gelak?) 4. The ayat-ayat cinta script sangat sesuai for mat2 jiwa,casanova or 'ladies' man to further improvise their 'mengayat' skill. Note: Hubby dearie, put aside the movie, I had a wonderful evening with you despite my runny nose. I am already looking forward to the next monthly date with you :-)

Alhamdulillah..

"..Muhammad Haziq?..Cikgu salah murid kot" was our disbelief statement (underestimate anak sendiri?) Congrats anak ibu.. hope you like the 'reward' from ayah. Hadiah tu kira 2 in 1 lar yer (sekolah kebangsaan + sekolah agama)

The 5th Pillar

Performing haj is one BIG checklist for most muslims. Alhamdulillah, my brother in middle east almost completing his haj in Mekah while I was writing this. I have a very mixed feelings upon receiving his text on Friday morning before he left for the holy land. Syahdu & sangat sayu…… The long-hour family skype-ing session a day before his departure causing teary moment to us back home. Praying for his safety and haji mabrur.. InsyaAllah. For those who knows Abang Lan, he is known as a kind hearted person…(so does my 2 orang lagi abang tuh!) please forgive my brother if he has any wrong doings, maaf zahir & batin and halalkan makan minum..Supaya amalan ibadatnya diterima Allah & may Allah swt bless us all. Amin. Most of my family & friends have witness kaabah with their very own eyes, alhamdulillah. I am praying hard for my turn..and the same goes to you readers too (kalau da pegi, hope for the 2nd, 3rd or fourth time, may be?), insyaAllah.

One way communication (skill?)

Image
Couldn't find a better way to pass this message to other half.. ( but I know you do drop by once in a while babe ) :- Dear hubby, 1. An apology for the over limit data utilisation in my per-data-usage hp bill$$ ( mati haku ! Lepaih u upgrade plan I nanti, Ok la bang ) 2. If you wonder, I still cannot decide between BB and 3Gs (can I have both of them like you?) and I am aware that the expiry offer date is almost ending. 3. Sorry that I broke your ' cari makan ' shade & you know I can't afford to replace it...(it wasn't me! your dotty yang terduduk atas tu masa I pinjam-refer below pix moments before it was broken ) 4. Err... what was the Marc Jacobs, Tods and Hermes conversation all about just now?( acah jer ..) 5. You might want to re-consider the 21 hours flight..(you think our kids will behave thruout the journey?) 6. Why you always buy something for yourself on your birthday? Buy something for me oso lar ..(Anyway, hope you like the little gift) ...

Fast Track

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...

Hiatus mode

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...

No pork! No lard! err, halal meh?

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...
