Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru Hijrah to all friends & blog readers. Its a long weekend - so, happy holidays to everyone too.

Kalau ada yang bukak blog ni dan bosan gila sebab tak berupdate, sorrrriiiiiiiiiiii. Hidup I dalam 3 ke 4 bulan ni memang tenggelam dalam kerja je. Bila penat sangat, takde mood nak blog. Cuma update twitter saja.

Hari ni rasa SANGAT LEGA. 2 projek telah siap untuk tahun ni. Boleh rest sekejap sebelum mula dengan projek baru tahun depan. Kena sangat la dengan akhir tahun hijrah semalam, dan awal muharram hari ni. Syukur sangat-sangat sebab tahun ini, business lebih baik dari tahun lepas. Kalau awal muharram lepas dalam sebak berdoa untuk diberi kekuatan melalui masa-masa yang sangat perit....tahun ini sangat bersyukur kerana Allah permudahkan sedikit demi sedikit.

Alhamdulillah.

Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram. Saya doakan Tahun hijrah 1431 membawa rahmat, rezeki dan segala yang baik-baik untuk kita semua. Amin.

Jalan-jalan Minum Kopi

2009-11-30T15:56:00.005+08:00

Pada suatu petang, Jill ajak saya jalan-jalan minum kopi bersama adik-beradiknya. Saya pun ikut mereka dan keluarga mereka ke tempat yang saaaaangat jauh dan saaangat sejuk, semata-mata nak minum kopi?? ish ish ish...hahahah.

Selepas minum, mereka dan keluarga mereka nak berjalan2 di taman bunga sambil posing-posing pulak dalam hujan. Sangat bahagia kan keluarga mereka ni...hahaha.

Lokasi: Old Town White Coffee, Genting Highlands

Tarikh: hmmm, October rasanya.

Korban

Hi semua. OMG, lama sungguh tak blog. Sejak bulan puasa, memang schedule kerja sangat pack. Macam ni la kerja freelance ni. Bila free, sampai termenung takde benda nak buat. Masyuk pun tak. Bila ada project, bertimpa-timpa pulak. Sekarang ni ada 2 project berjalan serentak. Itu pasal tak sempat blog macam biasa - satu pengorbanan ;-).

Dalam sibuk2 ni, curi masa sekejap balik Alor Setar untuk jenguk parents dan raya haji sekali. Of course bawak balik kerja sekali. Nasib baik rumah mak dah ada broadband sekarang. Senang sikit. Dulu kena dial-up memang tak larat nak menunggu.

Oh, esok raya kan. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha & Maaf Zahir Batin. Semoga kita semua dapat betul-betul menghayati erti korban, Insyaallah.

Will try to update more often- janji. Ada banyak posting overdue ni...cerita kenduri kahwin (not mine, ok!), cerita picnic dan banyak lagi...

Konflik

2009-10-18T23:59:00.000+08:00

Kenapa aku selalu nampak hidup orang lain lebih indah, lebih bahagia, lebih hebat dari kehidupanku yang ada saja tak kena.

Mungkin sebab aku hanya membandingkan dengan kehidupan orang yang punya lebih segala- galanya.

Kalau aku bandingkan dengan orang susah, orang sakit, orang kurang upaya, memanglah banyak yg perlu disyukuri. Silap-silap, jadi riak pulak.

Susahkan? Mana lebih susah? Bersabar mencari senang, atau bersyukur mengharung susah? Bersyukur nikmat Tuhan, atau bersabar ujian Yang Esa?

Konflik dalam diri. Jawab sendiri.

Too Good

I am not a big fan of mee yg berkuah, tapi this was just too good! Mee Bandung from open house my brother semalam. Terima kasih kakak iparku :-)

Syawal

2009-09-30T20:42:00.002+08:00

Sometimes Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.

HE breaks our heart to make us whole.

HE sends us pain so we can be stronger.

HE sends us failure to make us humble.

HE sends us illness so we take care of ourselves.

Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything HE’s given us

May the spirit of Ramadhan lives on in us throughout the year

Salam Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir Batin

#Maaf agak lambat update blog & ucap selamat hari raya. Lepas cuti raya terus sibuk kerja. Terima kasih semua yg tinggalkan ucapan pada comment box posting lepas.

Gosh!

Berat dah turun ke tahap kritikal. Tinggal 44. 5kg timbang pagi tadi.
Nanti pakai baju raya macam 'hanger berjalan'.

Before puasa dalam 46...47 mcm tu. Last week turun 45. Below 45 biasanya i akan avoid amik gambar....tak suka nampak mcm orang sakit je.

Haisssshhhhhh. How la? Semakin tak semangat nak makan.

Alhamdulillah

2009-08-24T14:29:00.002+08:00

Alhamdullilah Mak dah sihat...dah mula puasa pun hari Sabtu.

Syukur sangat.

Semalam i singgah pasar ramadan beli kueh, tengok orang yang take precaution pakai mask minoriti je berbanding dengan yang tak pakai. Termasuklah penjual. Siap ada geng budak2 nakal ni dok gelakkan orang yang pakai mask.

Dah masuk hari ke 3 kan tak ada H1N1 related death. That is good news. Hope things get better. Rimas la keluar pakai mask ni...rasa mcm susah nak bernafas.

Ramadhan Datang Lagi

Selamat Mengerjakan Ibadah Puasa.

Semoga Ibadah Anda Semua Di Bulan Penuh Kemuliaan Ini DiberkatiNya.

89%???

2009-08-18T16:24:00.003+08:00

My mom has not been feeling well since Sunday.
Actually last week, my whole family was over at my place. Rabu lepas Mak demam, i took her to my GP dekat rumah ni, Dr Razana cakap its normal flu je. Dr said kalau demam tak baik, come back tomorrow for tamiflu antiviral. Sebab Mak punya age, dia high risk group.

Then makan ubat sekali je, Mak terus turun temperature, cuma batuk je. So Alhamdullilah. Thot semua dah ok.

On Sunday, Mak, Bapak and Kakak balik Kedah.
Petang tu dapat sms Mak demam semula. Bila makan panadol, demam turun. Off and on. Risau gila.

Today Kakak took Mak to Dr Soma - our long time family doctor.
Based on her symptoms, Dr Soma said 89% its NOT H1N1. How on earth did he come up with that figure??? Not 90, 89! Mak pun takde selsema. Only if Mak tak recover by Thursday, baru buat blood test.

Anyways, Mak on double dose of antibiotics now and other medications. Tak dapat cakap dengan Mak since Sunday sebab tak nak ganggu - dia nak tido je. Mesti letih makan antibiotik banyak. Mak kalau sakit, paling payah coz dia tak nak makan langsung. Puas berpujuk. Mesti Kakak stress kat rumah tu nak pujuk Mak makan.

Praying hard for Mak's speedy recovery. Semoga Allah jauhkan dari apa-apa penyakit yang merbahaya.

Sayang Mak sangat-sangat...:-(

Yasmin Ahmad

2009-07-26T12:11:00.002+08:00

Al Fatihah to Arwah Yasmin Ahmad.

I will miss most her TV commercials - raya, CNY, deepavali, merdeka. Remember Tan Hon Ming, remember burung apa...burung murai...?

I found this on Youtube. One of Arwah Yasmin's work. I dont think it has ever been shown on M'sian TV, made for S'pore tv if im not mistaken. Typical of her work, always transcend racial boundaries, always touches the heart and soul...watch this.

Menyesal

2009-07-22T21:34:00.002+08:00

Pernah tak you all dgn berniat baik cuba buat sesuatu yang elok untuk orang lain.
Lepas tu menyesal sendiri.

Tadi i tengah tengok TV. Ada la dengar sesuatu (tak perlula cerita detail kat sini). So i sms la info ni pada seseorang sebab i tau dia memang ambil berat pasal ni, saja je tetiba rajin nak share. Takde niat lain pun...dan i tulis situ i dengar kat TV dari siapa la yg bercakap tu.

Lepas tu dia balas sms dua kali dengan soalan2nya, mempertikaikan pulak - orang tu 'authority' ke pasal benda ni?, kenapa bunyi macam tak kena?.

Last last, tak reti dah nak jawab sebab i pun dengar je...lastly, i suruh dia ignore je my earlier sms with apologies.

Menyesal. Moral of the story?....apa eh?

Pilihan objektif:
I. jangan terlebih rajin, orang pun tak tanya kita?
II. jangan berkongsi benda yang kita sendiri tak cukup ilmu?
III. thank you would be nice..walaupun info tu crap?
IV. padan mukaku?
V. all of the above?

:-)

pagi yang gelap...

2009-07-20T11:06:00.002+08:00

kenapa pagi yang gelap? there's a notice from building management hari ni ada blackout seluruh kawasan condominium ni dari 10pagi sampai 6petang. so i'm on standby ni....dah pukul 11 still ada electricity. maybe block by block agaknya....

anyway, here's something for you to think about as we start a new week...

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Be Careful People!!

My brother forwarded me this message. I thot its worth sharing, if you dont already know.

Subject: FW: ATM receipt

Since all of us have ATM card(s), I would like to share this importantnews. My friend saw a man at Novena MRT ATM trying to get all thereceipts out of the ATM bin.Please read the following message from a friend of mine, it's true.Please be careful, it's not a joke.....

Be careful when u draw cash from ATM with receipt complete with youraccount number.Please never throw the ATM receipt in the public bin even if u used totear it into small pieces before throwing it away.

Today, just got a call from my sister that she had lost all her cashfromher account. She threw the receipt into the bin provided at ATMrecently. Luckily, she only has $633/= in her account.Not much of suspicious when she was left with $11/= because she thoughtit was her petrol GIRO payment, however, that's not true.. She only gotto know it when the petrol company, Mobil cut-off the petrol card'stransaction when she realized something is wrong.

After checking with the bank, she was told that now there is thissyndicate who will pick up the ATM receipt & with their IT expert,theyare able to draw out your money.The bank will not be able to trace where these people had drawn themoney& how they do it, don't ask me, even the bank can't answer it. They can only advise you to report the case to the police for investigation. My sister is the third victim in this month.

DON'T THROW YOUR ATM RECEIPT AWAY! SEND THIS TO All YOU KNOW....

End of origunal message**********************************************************

So be careful everyone. Hang on to your ATM slips and throw it somewhere else. Make sure you koyak-koyakkan dulu sebelum buang

Cerita Bodoh & Memalukan

2009-06-24T07:57:00.002+08:00

You all nak dengar cerita yang bodoh ni tak....

Hari Khamis lepas, I ada job kat Cherating, untuk jadi co-trainer untuk this company punya teambuilding retreat at a resort kat sana. Semua arrangement dibuat oleh trainer yang lagi sorang ni - Siti. Awal-awal lagi Siti dah bagitau dia dah book flight Firefly (pegi-balik) dari Subang Airport.

Oklah...i pun plan nak park my car kat airport saja sebab day trip saja. Pegi pagi, balik petang. A day before the trip, Siti bagitau the morning flight to Kuantan Firefly dah cancel pulak. So dia terpaksa book MAS. Balik masih kat Subang Airport.

Pagi Khamis tu, pukul 5 pagi i dah start bersiap-siap.....then Siti sms, dia remind flight depart from KLIA. Of course la i ingat, apa la Siti ni....(i was thinking to myself). Pukul 6.30 macam tu i pun dengan hati gumbira drove myself to the airport. (biasanya i will call a cab - tapi since day trip je...bayar parking lagi murah. so i memang plan dari awal lagi i akan park kat airport...hmmm, bijak bijak...;-))

So kita board the plane semua no problem. Dah la Siti got us Business Class seats - first time i naik business class - happy la coz dapat breakfast semua...tengah lapar. Then Siti tanya, Anne, kenapa you park kereta kat sini? Kita balik nanti turun SUBANG...

OMG! OMG! OMG! What was i thinking! (Obviously i wasnt la kan.....). Nasib tak menjerit dalam plane. Rasa bodoh gila...malu pun ye.

Nasib my brother came to my rescue...pick me up kat Subang...drove me to KLIA malam-malam buta...(of course i only told him the half truth...pasal flight cancel...he didnt know i knew about the cancellation a day before...heheheheh)

Ok, go on...laugh your heads off. :-P

Cerita Panasssssssss!

2009-06-17T09:31:00.003+08:00

You all PANAS tak? Pagi-pagi dah berpeluh2 ni walaupun fan depan muka.

Balik Alor Star baru ni pun lagi la panas. Mandi, keluar bilik air dah peluh dah.

Oh yes, sorry la lama tak update. My mother injured her leg, so i went home to help her take care of my dad.

Back to cerita panas, i read somewhere its gonna carry on to September. So bulan puasa ni maybe lebih panas dari biasa. Dugaan....
