So idyllic..

I just can't wait!

I did it my way.

2012 creeps just around the corner. Did I mention about my reading sensation? Not a sensation lah really. I have promised to read a book before 2012. Yes, just one book.

Talking about reading, I read The Star everyday at the office. Frankly, I didn't read the whole news. (I didn't have much time). Just looking for a quick glance and made a conclusion for myself haha. Today I am proud to say that I read 4 pages! In full! I learnt about new words.. the reason why I love The Star so so much.

Okay back to the reading promise.

I did a pledge. I will finish up reading one book before the new year arrives.

What is the progress?

I did it. Okay because this sounds serious, let's caps it. I DID IT!!!! (haha)

However, I have to revolutionize a bit. Instead of reading a quite heavy topic, I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid. (Fair enough, I love reading a book with caricatures, that's why I love magazine.)

I regret for not buying the whole collection. Cheaper!

I recommend you to read this book. It is intriguing. I read it in one day. Addictive. Really.

Go buy now and please buy the whole collection.

No but, not butt.

I have tried myself not to write anything that sounds demotivating. But at the end of the day, we have right to write, aren't we?

I am getting old (I have said this trillion times!). I have been thinking what have I done with my life for the past 27 years.

Serious discussion for today hehe. 

Contribution can wait. Talk about it later.

Now I would like to ask each and every one of you...

Do you ever speak without a "but"? Me? I've tried doing this. I failed.

I am married but...

I have a job now but...

I have a house but...

I have a car but...

I have a pretty satisfying salary but...

What with all that "but" people?

Why we have to use that word? Can't we say anything with no but? 

Can't we?

In pursuit of knowledge.

In a meeting room... discussing about our KPI... (that was really good discussion)

Suddenly...

Brrrr...Grrr.... (vibrate sounds hehe)

Congratulations!

Huh, what I expect is an offer letter... should be grateful though. I have waited so longggg for this....

But......hurm..... the date???

The date I will be flying off to an island for honeymoon (yeah, after 2 and half years kan)

No worries lah.

Already spoke to the coordinator. I can do it later.

I hope 2012 will be a better year for me. For us.

InsyaAllah. Let's pray.

InsyaAllah...

 A journey towards being a better Muslim.

Inside. And Out.

Try to turn back time.

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

By hurting you.......

-Hurt by C. Aguilera-

Hudud.

Now, that's it, I understand it better now.

Lara Hati.

Hanya sampai di sini sahaja
Kisah cinta kita berdua
Tiada daya selamanya
Terhenti di sini

Biar ku pujuk ati ini
Merawat rinduku sendiri
Setelah aku kau lukai
Sedangkan kau tahu

Kasih aku hanyalah untukmu
Tiada lain dalam diriku
Takkan berubah
walau dipisah laut biru

Cinta aku hanyalah untukmu
Tak pernah goyah
Tak pernah jemu
Takkan terpadam dalam hatiku
Ia milikmu.. percayalah

Mungkin sudah suratan kita
Terpisah sebegini saja
Pasti di suatu hari nanti
Ku jejak bahagia...

Hungry no more.

I remember when I was at San Francisco................

Gigantic horrifying hotdog!

..... Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.. hehe..

Not recommended. Unpalatable meal. And cold too. I hate eating cold food (except ice-cream).

Why upload?

Because I am getting super hungry now.

Solution :

Call 1-300-82-2020 (PizzaHut Delivery)

or

Why is it always like this with guys?

Read it. I went 'Oohh...aahhh....' all the time haha!

(Unedited)

1. Lelaki Tidak Detail Dalam Percakapan

Contoh Kes : Kakaknya baru saja putus cinta. Bila cik awek tanya..‘macam mana boleh putus awak…?’ cik abg akan jawab…‘..dah nak putus nak buat macam mana…’

Alasan : Tak usah bimbang sebab secara genetik lelaki tidak dibentuk untuk petah bercakap mcm perempuan.Menurut seorang pakar,wanita boleh mengeluarkan antara 6 hingga 8 ribu kata per hari. Sementara lelaki rata2 hanya mengeluarkan antara 2 hingga 4 ribu kata sahaja.

2. Lelaki Tahan Berjaga Sepanjang Malam Demi Hobi

Contoh Kes : Cik awek sering tak menemui jawapan kenapa cik abg sanggup mengadap game sepanjang malam tanpa henti (dari mengadap dirinya..kahkahkah)..lepas tengok piala Malaysia,tgk badminton All England plak..pastu, sambung tgk EPL pulak kan…sampai jam 3 pagi..

Alasan : Sebelah kanan otak lelaki mempunyai bahagian yang tidak dimiliki oleh kebanyakkan wanita,seperti untuk mengukur sudut pandang (angle), kecepatan dan jarak. Namanya adalah Kesedaran Ruang Visual (VSA), yang amat penting peranannya di zaman dulu dimana lelaki harus berburu utk mendapatkan makanan.

3. Lelaki Rela Menghabiskan Banyak Wang Untuk Peralatan Elektronik Atau Aksesori Kereta

Contoh Kes : Cik abg rela keluarkan wang simpanan utk menambah aksesori kereta…tapi kenapa mereka memBEBEL kalau tengok cik awek bershopping??

Alasan : Alat2 elektronik atau aksesori kereta bolehlah dikatakan sebagai alat permainan lelaki dewasa. Bagi lelaki, benda 3 dimensi ni terlihat lebih menarik dan menstimulasi area VSA otak mereka. Dengan demikian mereka secara tidak sedar dgn happy2 jer buang duit utk benda2 tu.

4. Lelaki Jarang Muncul Dengan Jambangan Bunga

Contoh Kes : Dekat filem2 drama2,sering kita lihat hero/cik abg muncul tiba2 di rumah cik aweknya dgn sejambak bunga. Kenyataan nye?..huh hampeh!!

Alasan : Dari awal lagi,otak lelaki lebih mengutamakan hal praktik. Kebetulan, hal2 bunga nih tak menarik ruang logik otak mereka. Beli sesuatu yang bakal layu dalam beberapa hari benar2 satu pembaziran…itu tanggapan org lelaki laa kan..baik belanja makan!kenyang perot…

5. Lelaki Tidak Bergosip

Contoh Kes : Bila cik awek bace gosip kat magazine sambil ckp: ‘eh betul ke ni..?’cik abg dgn pantas memotong ‘pegi makan jom!dah lapar nie…’

Alasan : Sebenanye lelaki juga bergosip. Tapi cara dan gaya mereka bergosip tidak sejelas cik2 awek bergosip dan juga tidak pada saat objek yag nak digosip berada dekat situ.

 Dan kalau mereka punya masalah dengan seseorg, biasanya mereka

menyelesaikannya, atau melupakannya.

6. Lelaki selalu mengaggungkan IBU mereka

Contoh Kes: Lelaki jarang mengkritik ibu mereka,apatah lagi kalau hubungan mereka akrab. Lebih panas lagi kalau dia kata pada cik awek, ‘eleh ayang,macam tu pun tak reti buat ke? mak i pejam mata pun boleh buat tau…’

Alasan : Bagi lelaki, ibu mereka merupakan wanita ideal dan inti dari hidup mereka. Lelaki juga belajar mengenal rasa melindungi dari hubungan kedua orang tuanya sebagaimana ayah mereka melindungi ibunya. Makanya, tak perlulah mintak dia persoalkan apa apa ttg ibunya.

7. Lelaki sanggup menyimpan semua edisi terhad komik,cd,jeans, jam tangan,jersey dan apa2 saja!

Contoh Kes : ‘Borinngg..!’katanya si cik awek….sekejap sekejap cik abg ajak g petaling street, kemudian kedai komik lps tu carik lens kamera… semata-mata nak cukupkan koleksinya.

Alasan : Berbalik kepada asal mereka sebagai pemburu, lelaki senang menghimpun persediaan keperluan mereka sebanyak mungkin. Mereka selalu berwaspada dan beranggapan bakal diadili oleh lelaki lain,sehingga tidak hanya mengumpul kuantiti,tapi juga kualiti yang dimilikinya. Bagi mereka,punyai sesuatu yang boleh dibanggakan adalah prestasi tersendiri yang dapat memacu ego mereka.

8. Lelaki Senang Melihat Wanita Memakai Skirt Pendek (mini skirt)- Asalkan Bukan Kekasihnya

Contoh Kes : Cik abg memuji setinggi langit kaki nicole kidman ketika memakai mini skirt. Tapi kalau cik aweknya yg pakai,komennya pula…‘I tak suka ahh!! tukar lain…macam penyapu lidi je..kalo u pakai baju kurung bertudung litup, laaaaggiiiii i sukeee..’Bengang kan cik2 awek sume…?

Alasan : Bagi lelaki, kaki cantik adalah simbol kesuburan wanita. Kalau buah hati sendiri yang mempamerkan kaki dan bahagian2 yang lain pada yang bukan sepatutnya..mereka jadi waspada kerana itu merupakan sasaran mata lelaki-lelaki lain.

Seriously, I don't know what's really happening to me. One thing I knew that I cannot eat nuts. Acne, people. ACNE. Yes, it is an unalterable and permanent fact. Not a myth. But seafood? I never had any symptoms of a seafood allergy before.

Why now?

"Mungkin kandungan udang dalam badan awak dah lebih. Jadi badan tak boleh terima.." - Suami.

Mum said that I could be allergic to certain foods. I ate fried Kueytiao last night. Ate one shrimp. Big one. So scrumptious. After a minute, I started to scratch my skin (on my right shoulder). Oh rashes? Naa..maybe mosquitoes. Then, the itchy went over my back, my arm.. Kruukkk...krukkkkk.. So freaking itchy! My skin started reacting to red scratch marks oh nooo. I couldn't get rid myself from this unstoppable itch! Well, I was fortunate that it wasn't an extreme one (I hope so). And not on the face too hehe. Syukur! I took shower, slept, and the rashes went away. Oh and I drank plenty of water too.

As I write this, I still feel itchy. It keeps coming back. I don't want to see the doctor. I could give million reasons not to go. Never.

I think I should stop eating shrimp. But how about other types of seafood? Let's do some experiments! Ketam Masak Telur Masin. Oh yesssss. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    =)


Rashes, rashes please go away...

Delicate Rose.

R.O.S.E.

You and your friends 

Boxes of ten 

Cool to the touch 

You warn me so much 

The white to your left 

The red to your right 

Are all that I’d seen 

Til I realised the love that I seek 

Lies right in-between 

Rose 

I love ya 

Especially today 

Rose 

I love your delicate way 

The chill in my veins 

Relieves me from pain 

Again and again 

I lose all control 

Your taking your toll 

And i'm no longer sane 

Dont be afraid 

The love that I show is the love that you made 

So dont be afraid 

'Cos your in control 

I'm just your slave 

Rose, 

I love ya, 

Especially today, 

Rose, 

I love your delicate way. 

Dont let him put you down 

I won't let him put you down 

'Cos your as good as the rest 

And you're much better dressed 

I think pink is my colour 

I wont drink from no other 

Never! 

Oh I love ya 

Especially today 

Especially this way 

Oh Rose 

I want ya 

Believe me this way 

Rose 

I love your delicate way

Batik is my pride.

Source : Pink Jambu

Wearing Batik shows our pride as Malaysians. If you don't have any Batik stored in your closet, please slap your face now. Malaysian should have at least one Batik - tops, sarung, baju kurung, baju melayu whichever you like. What? Kain Batik? Okay, I would agree on Kain Batik. Hehe.

I've always had a preference for batik fabrics. In short, I am a batik lover! Blergh, I don't have many batik wearings in my closet though. They are all expensive. Yeah, they are frivolous pattern right.

Do you know we have so many designers that really appreciate Batik? And to appreciate the craft, World Batik Council is established. And now, Batik is not all about antiquated formal wear, but it can also be made into something chic, fun and stylish. From baju kurung to legging and mini dress. Bravo to them!

Since I have stopped shopping online ( oh dear it's hard), let's take a walk on these collections.

Okay, that is not Batik. He's just so cute!

Let's wear Batik with pride and joy. It's not necessarily to wear only on Thursday. You know what I mean.

Pride + joy = sampan haha!

See ya!

To accept the fact that...

Marriage.

A word which carries a huge meaning.

As a wife, still I find it is hard, extremely hard to fully commit to a relationship. Tougher than ever! Yes, I'd prepare him what to eat (sometimes I'm bad), I'd prepare his clothes thing and everything just name it. But the thing is, I suddenly realize that relationship (marriage) is ain't about your normal routine - what a wife should do everyday in satisfying a husband in every aspect of human life. You cannot run from quandaries that baffle your life simply like infiltrating the enemy's line in wars!

It is more about sacrificing. As time goes by, the responsibilities weigh heavier. I am scared. Wondering each day if I am able enough to be the greatest wife on earth. I wonder how actually I could achieve that 'mithali'. Oh dear, it is deemed scary. Spine-tingling duhh!

People said that the first 6 years is a tough adventurous journey of a marriage. I really don't know what that means. It could be financial problem which I find it is a major problem of any relationship so far. There is a quote 'A happy wife is a happy marriage.' You agree with that? It may seem inescapably bias. How about husband?  Well, marriage is about two souls, two hearts. A balance with that two will create a great relationship despite the fact that husband carries huge relationship than a wife does. Husband and wife must nurture their marriage with love, care, honesty and sincerity. Showering their days with romantic words and tender touch are all we as wives demand from husbands. As a reflection, husbands may demand a wife to be their 'chef', 'babysitter', 'maid' and so forth.

What happens if I abandon all marital obligations as a wife for the reason I didn't get what I need? Husband won't be so happy. What if husband ignores my needs and wants though it is only a slice of cake? I won't be happy too. Marriage will sink sooner or later.

Sacrifice is the thing here. You have to sacrifice first in satisfying the loved one. I don't sacrifice much in my marriage and I am suck at it. I still learn on how to be a good person and a good wife to him. I have read one blog (forgot the blog's name sorry) quoted that a small sacrifice you made will gain you a huge 'pahala' (reward) that you never ever think it will be considered by Allah during our 'judgement' soon. You 'redha', you will be rewarded. Subhanallah... There you go. I have to accept the fact that my husband doesn't have much time for me. I have to accept the fact that my husband will be home once a week. I have to accept the fact that my weekend is the worst day ever if husband not on leave. Be tough young woman!

I pray that Allah will grant us happiness and blessing. Everyday.

Note : Just for entertainment =)


Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind & true,
When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.

Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden & for Man.

Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.

Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.

Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bred.
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine.

If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.

If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.

When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

Waiting for the Sun to shine.

Gloomy gloomy day. It's been two weeks in a row..

Bakery Breakfast.

Morning sunshine!

I will be on vacation for a week. This may well be the longest holiday for this year. So, I am damn well going to enjoy it and have a nervous breakdown about money later haha. 

Have you had your breakfast yet? 

This could be your entree. Enjoice!

Lavatory.

Most people have their own dream houses. A dream luxurious bathroom. A spacious modern bedroom. A magnificent Masterchef-like kitchen.


I do have. 


For the reason I don't take shower yet, let's thrash out this issue. I mean, the bathroom.


I always wanted to have a huge bathroom. Jacuzzi. Rain shower. Luxurious one. Where you can be in it for hours! Me and husband are planning to have our dream bathroom. Haven't scratch it yet.


Googled it for better scrapbook.

I have never seen this design at any places yet. Hooohhhhhh I super like!

I love this type of shower. Raining heavily!

A jacuzzi you cannot resist. Bravura!

Let's keep on dreaming.
