Salam my dear readers, whoever you are...

Yes peeps, it has been a long long time since I checked in to the blogging world. My social online activities has been occupied with the famous micro blog aka "Twitter", status readings on Facebook and the occasional check-ins on Foursquare. But before I continue, I would like to shout out "Selamat Berpuasa" to all my muslim readers and peers :)

It has been a while and I forgot how fun blogging is. It is the place where people like me, like to run to from the real world. Some place where anything said is read. Some place... sacred. Yea exaggeration much, but right hand up, it is all true.

A little while ago, I twitted asking what was my talent. Sounds silly that way, but try signing up and you will see what I mean :) I believe every baby born is gifted with a certain talent, like drawing, singing, magic tricks or even manipulating. I long to discover mine, and until last night, I think I may have discovered it, in the presence of my love, NJ7.

My hobbies like baking, cooking, fashion, louis vuitton or even watching the E! channel could be something I physically develop to something I may good at. But hobbies are hobbies, not talent. Hobbies are like eating, but not necessary you are good at cooking, or going to the movies but not necessarily you are good at acting.

People go on for years to discover what their true talent are, the one that can make you be one in a million, even you are the only one who knows it. Life is funny that way, but not necessarily it is tragic.

So happy my ancient question has been answered tonight. Alhamdulilah. :)

Selamat Berpuasa All... Be good.

Salam peeps..

Another long over due blog. I blame the other social networking sites i.e. Twitter! I love twitting! It is easier, fun and very updated! It is also considered a "micro-blogging" site. So whatever you have in your head, instead of saving it till the end of the day to blog it, you do it instantly!! Fast! Economical (of course since it's free!) and relevant? Maybe.

So hey! What is up? Well me, if you have me in your Facebook or Twitter account, you would know some of my updates.

I just had a lamb burger for the first time and it was to die for!! Yummy!! And the best part it is near to my place! Opens from 11.30am - 10pm :) Lamb! The best red meat ever!! And it is near to my place!

There is a lot of good movies coming out soon. Hopefully I could get to watch em'. That's me being random.

Interesting fact I found out as I'm blogging from OMG Facts.com - 'Male bees dies after having sex'. Apparently male bees only exist with the purpose to mate with the Queen. Whoa! The Queen baby! Don't mess with her. Respect.

I'm just going to post pictures of the interesting things that has happened all around me in the past few weeks. It's much more fun than me babbling here like a chihuahua. It's exclusive too - haven't post it anywhere yet ;) Enjoy peepers!

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Bonjour!

Salam my dear readers!

Two more days to Brunei's 26th National Day. Though I am not participating in any events whatsoever. I have seen the tiny flags on cars. Cool. Boring part is I haven't got one. Maybe that's because I haven't been to Gadong lately. Oh well.

Right now I am installing a program to check whether my Windows7 is genuine or not. I was surprised to see the prompt when I switched on my laptop saying that my Windows might not be genuine. How could that be??!! B$160.00 for a Windows7 software and not genuine?? Not sure yet though at the moment. It's still validating. If it is confirmed then someone from CC will have an earful tomorrow! You can check whether your Windows is genuine or not by checking out ---> HOW TO TELL

Have been downloading few old movies the past couple of days.. It made me reminisce my childhood. And it just proves that I have been a movie addict since my younger years hehehe Matilda, Surf Ninjas, Hearts and Souls, Three Men and a Baby, Three Men and a Lady, She Devil, Death Becomes Her. More to come!!

Tomorrow I will be going back to school! To learn French that is hehehe Will be attending classes at UBD Language Centre. Uni is so much different from high school. They already emailed me the course outline and the chapter to read before attending the class, and not only that, they already give out exercises! Cool ey! This is going to be so much fun!! Bonjourrrrrrr! Bonjouuuuuuur!!!!!

p/s: My Windows7 is genuine. Sikit ia lagi hehehehe

Assalamualaikum my dear readers..

Today was OK alhamdulilah. Woke up early and spend the rest of the afternoon with Shasya watching cartoons and end it with going to the gym in the evening. And tomorrow might be a slightly busy afternoon, payments to suppliers need to made and some monthly invoicing had to be done.

Right now I am trying to install my 2009 Kaspersky Anti-Virus to my not so recently Windows7 installed laptop, and must I say, it's a lot of work! I have to install another program so the anti-virus can be compatible with my Windows7, luckily for existing users it's free! I just couldn't be bothered to purchase another anti-virus that will cost me B$80-B$100. Much "uninstall" and "restart" needed to done during this process, it sucks!

Met Syazwana Harun aka SasBrownies at the gym earlier, and my oh my she lost a lot of weight! She said she had lost 16kgs in the past few months! Jealous much!!! Now she's my new real life weight loss inspiration :) She said she controlled carb intake during the night and joined spinners class. But spinners and me @my bum just don't match! I don't know, it is just that bicycle seat and my buttocks - they don't like each other. I couldn't be more than 10 minutes on a spinner or my 'tail bone' will hurt. I was like 'inda jua pipih banar' but it hurts like crazy! That is why I opt for LesMills class for aerobic exercise - many calories burnt and it's fun!

The Darling and I were talking about "things we planned for the future" and we had a quite interesting conversation. I told him the things I wanted before I reach 30, and now that I realized it, I had already put in here in my Wish List (on the left corner) ever since I started this blog..so I am pretty sure..it is my real wish list. Hopefully everything will come true..step by step :) Amin :)

Oh yea peeps..I would love to share some 'surah-surah yang patut dibaca' before going to sleep so that we will be protected during our sanctuary time. Sometimes we don't realize how powerful some surahs are, though it is short and easy to memorize, we neglect to know how great the impact it will have on our daily life. I was told that reading surah 'al-ikhlas 3x daily pahala nya is the same as khatam satu al-quran' and it is good to read surah al-ikhlas before we go out to protect us. Let's try to make it as an amalan in our daily life!

Amalan yang baik sebelum tidur:
Al-Fatihah 3x
Al-Ikhlas 3x
Al-Falaaq 3x
An-Naas 3x

p/s: earlier I found the drawing for my dream house..not too big..not too small - JUST RIGHT! Happy me :) though it is just a drawing..

Assalamualaikum my dear readers (that is if I have any :P) ...

I know I have not been active with the blog-updating activity. Too much has been happening in the personal department of my life and that being personal, well I'm sure you folks know what it means. But I love to write. I decide to keep this blog as my personal piece of work, and publishing it makes me close to be a 'published' writer. Ha-ha. Whatever with that.

So peeps, what's been happening? I have been having ritual morning breakfast with them girls. And I am kind of fond with this breakfast ritual, not that being my reason to kick the bed early, it is just nice sitting down, sharing stories and making precious time for each other.

Life for all of us has differ since we were single. Things were much free-er and everything could just be done on the drop of a hat. Now that we are all with our own respective partners, I can say the little time spent is much more precious. All right enough about that.

I am sure you peeps have been hearing all sort of burglar stories that has been circulating all around the nation. And most incidents happened in my neighboring area since it is close to the border (kuala lurah). And these scarring incident made me all paranoid for the safety of my family and myself. Some nights I can't even sleep . I was just too paranoid. Not that I was expecting but for me it is better to be ready. Since it is hard to find pepper spray around here, I keep a can of insecticide, knife and other protective weapons all around my room for easy reach. I even planned a hiding route. And I always always always keep my room locked and never answer it in the middle of the night without a secret 'password'. I think that 'password' thing would be very useful implied in the household. Maybe you guys can start practicing it too. ;)
About the insecticide, well I am sure you can understand the effects of insecticide being sprayed direct to someone's face, and it being steel it could help in knocking the b@$&rd's face when he's all suffocated by the 'poisonous' gas which can give you the chance to run. Well all these are just precautions. Do feel free to drop by and share any in-house safety. Would appreciate that highly!

Before I end, I would like to share few pictures from my 'Redbull Female Driver Search'. I was in the top 20, and I am proudly to say I am now a certified safety woman driver :) Congrats to my bestie Liana for being in the top 2 :)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It is before 1am and I am already snuggled up in bed. That's a working progress. Well I am tired. Just got back from my new born niece's doa selamat in Bunut. In the morning woke up early after sleeping late. My dad knocked on the door at 9am because my niece is throwing a tantrum early that morning. Later after she cooled down, I was forced to watch 'toon' aka cartoon. So early in the morning besides catching up on my sleep or doing something rather productive, I was watching Animal Mechanical, Mickey Mouse and Handy Manny.

By noon, we head up to the office to do some work. That afternoon I was supposed to spend some quality time with my Darling, NJ7, by watching a DvD together, but last minute change of plans, my dad needs to go to the bank on an urgent matter. I long for some time with NJ7, so he came along with us. We did get to spend 15 minutes of 'us' time at our favourite coffee place in Bandar. I must say it was a 15 minutes bliss. Then my dad shows up and we were off to our next destination where we spent more than 2 hours there. I am not going to mention where though hehehe but my dad and NJ7 for sure enjoyed it! Sikit lagi tu sayang aaaaah... if nda terdapat urg atu 'ehem ehem' baru kan pakai ke UBD hehehehe I didn't enjoyed it much cause the 'ehem' that I wanted nada lagi.. so I was just 'tiring' myself waiting around for the two iski boys.

When we got back home, I received a text message from one my dear best loves PiPs988 or Bengers congratulating NJ7 in getting into UBD. I think it was a 3 page text. She was so happy of the news, maybe happier than me hehehe And she did include some personal details of the past which touched me. It refreshes my memories how she has been there through my hard times. She has been supportive, my shoulder to complain and cry on, easy to talk to, understands me well and she has been more like a sister to me. In her I can see all the positive things. She's not the jealous type, pemarah (she claims she is but she has never shown her anger infront of us) nor judgmental. I can say she's a people please-er. In our circle, she's the neutral one. We had this conversation once over late night 'indomee with mata lembu' and 'roti john with cheese' where we characterized our circle to the cast of 'Sex and the City'. Hehehe I am not going into details of the characters, since I say she's the 'neutral' one, you might get the hint which one she is in the series. Hehehe Fun times.

So who is which? :)

May or may not mean something but any hoos Enjoy!!!

Night peeps! Hugs you!

Assalamualaikum my readers,

It's 3.22am, and I am up. I so want to change my sleeping pattern as of new year's. But I think it's going to take a hell lot of tiredness to get me to sleep early. Before, I mean years ago, I used to take a sip of benadryll before going to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I had thyroid problems and it was from the hospital. It soothes my throat and helps my sleep a lot. But then I realized I began to sip it on a daily basis. I was afraid of getting addicted, I think I was a little bit, so I stopped right then and there, and until now I haven't had any.

Help me! I tried warm milk, drinking herbal teas.. what else? Prescription? That will be my last option. Do drop in any home remedies to help me to sleep yea... :)

As probably some of you might know. I am crazy movie goer. I love watching movies, especially in the comfort of my own bed, owwwh loving it. There's this one particular song, which is also in the list of 'work out' songs in my ipod, well I heard this song in a few movies soundtracks, namely the Ugly Truth, the Hangover and recently Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel (which I am yet to watch). Click on the link to find out -->

So yea peeps, I am going to end my post till here. I am so blanked right now. Couldn't think of something useful or informative to share with you readers, sleepyness just kicked in. Maybe tomorrow I could share something interesting with you lots!

Oh yes! Before I end, I would to give a warm hug to my dear Darling, NJ7, congratulating him in getting to UBD! His 'former' classmates will be throwing a farewell lunch for him later. He announced his last day in Business school last Monday to his classmates, oh boy were they sad to see him go. But it is his dreams to go to Uni..and I am proud of you my love! This Saturday is the orientation! I know he's nervous!!

The man I am truly proud of
Congratulations Darling!
'tie your shoes up, your journey has just begun' -E!

Night peeps! Hugs you!

Assalamualaikum All!!

First of all, I would like to start off my first post of 2010 with Surah Al-Fatihah, 'semoga tahun kita semua diberkati of Allah S.W.T - Amin Ya Rabil Ala Min'

Wow! We are already in the first week of 2010..and once again wowiee! 2010...2010? 2010!!!!! It took about..well a few days for me to absorb the change in the digits of the year, but I have finally accepted the reality.

I started this blog almost one and a half year ago, can you believe it? I can't believe it. It has been that long. I wonder how many readers do I have. Anyhoos sorry for the lack of updates in the past months. I was, well, much occupied with 'happy' activities with my loved ones. Haven't seen the Ladies in quite a while. Like I said before, time goes by, people change, well not entirely changed, what I mean is 'adapting to new situations', and that is all to the better! Hope to see them soon :)

And me? I could not have been happier than this. My relationship has been healthy and happy. Family population is growing bigger, and so are my DvD collections. All I can say Life so far has been a great 'gift' and Insha-allah, I hope it will stay that way.

So what's your new year's resolution? My new year's resolution is to get last year's resolution done! One of it is with the weight management! I tell ya, with not the right discipline it could be really hard. And with my 'condition' it makes it even harder, like my doctor said, not impossible, but harder. Hormones. Sigh. But any hoos, I am grateful. Conditions like mine, especially in weight management, it could be frustrating not seeing 'huge' drops in the Kgs, but I know everything happens for a reason, and the more I begin to accept it the more I realize my situation is not that bad. I realized it really well when I stood next to a woman who is 3x, or 4x 5x my size, and the woman is wearing tight tank tops and mini skirts. Not that I am judging the woman, I just admire the confidence she got for being her and does not care of what people think. So I thought, 'stop whining! workout, eat better with proper supplements and do it no matter how long it takes!' ..... Victoria Beckham has the same condition as mine and she's thin and sexy! There's still hope heheheh oh well enough about that.

A lot has happened in 2009. There was the H1N1, the blackout that hit the whole country (except for my area alhamdulilah for that), the flood and landslides, the Padi Laila, the Al-Gharimin or Zakat thingy, BRIDEX, the SPN21.. and that is just to name a few. It has been a heck of year, and alhamdulilah it all ended with peace and prosperity to the country.

The Great Flood in January 2009

The Blackout in October 2009

Sorry peeps I have to end my entry short this time. I'm going to end my post with recaps of my 2009. Enjoy peeps!

2009-11-06T23:57:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Wowwwieeee, it has been a heck of a time since I last updated this blog. And of course, cliche reasons would be 'been busy', but I haven't really been that busy. Let's just say, I found another purpose to fill in my void.

So what have I been doing for the past few months - as of today my office work has been up to date. No more piling up of the work. Been doing my work as soon as it comes and I found out this way I have more free-er days in the week with out feeling guilty or freaked out when my dad calls me. Been busting my ass in my 'home gym', yessss I have a, well, I can say a complete home gym now, thanks to my dad that is. The treadmill, the stationary bike, the lat, the bench, the lazy bike, the dumb bells and weights, etc etc Kinda cool! I don't have to pack up my stuff and drive all the way to gym anymore. Though the Darling and I have a whole workout plan for the month of December. As he would say it, 'tinggal di gym tani'. Haha

Haven't seen the girls in months. I assume everyone is busy with their own thing now. The good thing to know is everyone is happy. Kiah's wedding will be in December. I hope we will be around during that time cause the mommy is planning on a holiday. We'll see :)

Last night, was over at the Darling's to help him out with his presentation. After hours of brushing up on the presentation, we went out for a while to have dinner. We decided to go this place not far from his house, since we're on a time constraint, and it was raining, so yea. This place was ok, but it's the type of restaurant that, well, how can I put this, if I had to list out all the eatery in Brunei that place would be number.. I can't even put a number to it! haha We were there ONCE last year..minum saja kali.. It was a different atmosphere for us but surprisingly the food was delicious.. This restaurant has a lot of branches, and I used to 'tapau' the one near to my place..it has good food yes..but at this particular branch..ntah ah..maybe the crowd atu kali..barijab..banyak ganster heheh But anyhoos, while we were waiting for our food, watching Naked Gun on the TV and observing the people around us, the Darling suddenly popped out an interesting statement of how we were always together. And slowly we were recapping the past times, and how he was in denial. Had a good laugh about it. And it suddenly made me think. I had never been so comfortable with a man this much. He said that as well vice versa. And I believed, back in the days when we were friends, it was that level of comfort that made me drawn to him in the first place. It made me realize how that comfort level made all my neurotic judgement and constant annoyance came down to a very settling feeling. And it has been until today. And I feel so blessed. Alhamdulilah. Not only that, a little birdie told me that this person that I was seeing before pulled a 'chris brown' and worse. Wow.. listening to that news and enjoying the love that I have now ... it felt like a blessing .. alhamdulilah ... And this reminds me, ''allah sentiasa menyayangi umat nya yang bersikap sabar"" .... :)

Tomorrow is the Darling's big presentation at Livewire. The business plan that he'll be presenting will be the plan that we have always been talking about. Been helping him out with the presentation and rehearsing for the past few nights. I know you can do it. All of the schools and institution that has participated, only 5 were selected nationwide. And the Darling is one of em! Three from his school that is. I assume they must be that good cause out of the 5 that were selected, none of it were from UBD. All the best baby! Don't knock em dead - you knock em alive!

Gotta hit the sack now peeps! Early morning cardio baby!! Burn you calories!! Burrrn!!

Enjoy the video peeps! Check out his other videos as well - it'll sure brighten up your day!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Wooowiee..it has been such a darn while since I updated this blog. It is so out-dated that I haven't even changed the movie picture of the Orphan and even my 'word of the day'. I will find a suitable time to keep this blog updated insha-allah. Before anything, how was your puasa so far? Mine has been so great and I have to thank Allah S.W.T for his blessings. My life has been so happy. Work has been, well, I do it in my own time a.k.a late night or when boring-boring masa patang but everything has been submitted as to date. It has been a while since my dad screamed at me for not membuat tuntutan or suppliers not yet been paid. Hehehe. Now payments are being paid smoothly, my dad's happy so I'm happy. No more 'paning babah cara alai berkeraja ani eh'. Just as long I submit everything before its due date that is mid and end of the month, suppliers and worker's salary being paid - my job is done! :)

For the Love life, people may say 'I've heard this before' - but yea..it has been great and being with the Darling has been the greatest experince for me. Everyday is a new day for smiles and laughter and I am just so ecstaticly happy.

There's too many events and occurings happened during this holy month of Ramadhan, and alhamdulilah it has been great. The Darling has already retreated from his 2-weeks of berdagang at the Stadium Parking Lot for the Gerai Ramadhan, and now relieving the start of a 2 week school/hari raya holiday.

Anyhoos..I would like to share this post that I got from strictlybeautiful. I have always been a huge supporter of the nature i.e. trees, water, animals and pollution and insha-allah by posting this post I may have done a small part of my contribution to make the earth go green and the greens go greener!!

Daku mendengar Rasulullah bersabda: Barangsiapa menanam pokok, kemudian dimakan oleh manusia atau mahluk-mahluk Allah yang lain, maka bagi orang yang menanam pokok itu akan mendapat ganjaran pahala sedekah. (HR Musnah Ahmad)

Dari Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah saw bersabda: Barangsiapa menanam pokok, kemudian pokok itu berbuah, sebagaimana banyaknya bilangan buah-buah yang dihasilkan , sebanyak itulah ganjaran akan dituliskan bagi orang yang menanamnya. (HR Mushad Ahmad)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Alhamdulilah..it is confirmed that 1st Day of Puasa will start on Saturday 22nd August 2009. Either today or Saturday I seriously don't mind because it is Ramadhan..a holy month. I am always welcoming its arrival, and alhamdulilah now it is finally here. Syukur.

Well today (Thursday), we're suppose to have a dinner outing with the Ladies and respective partners at Capers. I had to cancel on the last minute due to a family dinner outing. I hope the Ladies had fun. Still need updates on the outing dinner from them.

So yea, I had dinner with the Family, with the Darling and Amlir at "Cottage Grill", and of course most of us had the most recommended dish, the "marble" meat. Dinner was superb. Loves it. After dinner we went to watch the movie that I had been so wanting to watch - "Orphan" and I must rate it a verdict A!!!!! It is a seriously crazy teeth grinding bari garam hati movie which just clearly shows how good it was. The entire theatre had such a huge effect on it. It was slow at first but the mid part to the ending was soooooooooo .. you just have to watch it for yourself and you'll know what I mean. Lucky me the movies I have been watching lately was really good..happy me :)

Any hooters, Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa to all my Muslim readers, and with this I would like to take the opportunity to ask forgiveness for any wrong doings or sayings, yang sengaja atu tidak di sengajakan.. Salam semua :)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Am just sipping on my Ice Tea Latte Double Vanilla (though the ice hancur sudah) after doing my monthly account statement updates for the month of July. I am a spendthrift, somehow, though mostly are spent on indulging delicious food, but I do keep myself on track with my spending. I am a receipt keeper no doubt and thanks to i-banking I am able to keep track of everything. Seeing all these numbers, my mind is subtlely finding ways to minimize unnescessary spending and create some space in my bank account for savings for more 'important' occasions, and alhamdulilah for the past few months.

I have mentioned about a book that I bought last month, 'Desert Royal' by Jean Sasson, well it was just two days ago I had started to read it and I must say I am very fond of it. I am going one chapter a day, I love to read at night cause it is when I find it to be most peaceful. I was shocked to find out the insides of a country that by common knowledge is known to be religious and sacred. The facts I had known about the country went from richer to richest and I have watched E! Channel's Most Richest but I have to compliment this country's wealth is EXTRAVAGANT! I remember vividly one of the sentences from the book 'Kareem (the husband) had sent a trusted Lebanese employee on ONE of our PRIVATE PLANES to PARIS for the sole purpose of acquiring a special gift for me. The TEN-TIERED DIAMOND CHOKER was now fastened around my neck'. I was like 'whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? For real???!!!!' What fascinated me most is it is a TRUE STORY! The stories came in 3s that is 'Princess' and 'Daughters of Arabia'. When I read it I imaigined to be Jean Sasson doing the interviews for the book- yeah I have a very fertile imagination hehe ok now let's stop at that. Whenever I finish a chapter I would relay it to the Darling and he has been a very good audience listening to my imagination version of the book. Loves him!

I think that's the whole beauty of reading. It makes you use your imagination and let you be creative with the stories. It's like you're the director of a movie. I used to read a lot in my teenage days, books like Sweet Valley High by Francine Pascal, and that was a huge hit back then. I found my SVH book collections in the store room few months back and I couldn't believe how much of them I got. I remember my dad used to book his daily newspaper at the book store at the airport. Yang di ujung dulu and now it's...apa ah..jadi entrance kan ke Airport Restaurant. So in the evenings we would pick it up and I was always looking forward to it sal nya I can get to pick a new book every now and then. Siuk dulu di airport atu eh. And the books are always the up-to-date ones.

I remember reading 'Sweet Valley University - The House Of Death'. I read it when I was 11 or 12 and it took me quite a while to finish it cause it had all those big words that I couldn't understand, so payah jua kan imagine tu. Everytime I come across one of the big words I would refer it back to the dictionary and it took quite a while. Balum abis high school udah tah membaca university punya hehehe. But I did get to finish reading in about a month's time. Hmmmm siuk lah dulu atu. Debt free..all you need to do is go to school..buat homework..boring-boring baca buku. Now ni kalau boring boring..jalan..keluar lagi duit tu. But alhamdulilah atas segala yang diberikan :)

The 'Orphan' will be in the cinemas this Thursday!! Looking forward to watch it!! At last!!

Ok then peeps! Salaaaaaaaaaaam :)

The book that took my reading
to another level hehehe

Slipped!.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So how was your weekend? Mine has been lovely and romantic until.... Let me share how my weekend went..

Saturday night - Had a romantic dinner with the Darling at "Cottage Grill" and I must say the food was fabulous! Especially the Darling's 'marble meat' that was recommended by the owner of the restaurant. I should have ordered that! But my Grill Salmon was also not bad too. We had it all stylish and fancy by having non alcoholic "Apple Cider" and "Root" beer. *macam arah restaurant mahal hehehe And the amazing thing is the food pricing there is very reasonable with such good quality. The 'marble meat' was cooked in medium well and the meat was very tender and juicy to the taste. Nyum!!!! After dinner we went to catch a movie "The Last House On The Left", from the poster it seemed like a horror movie, but it was not :P We watched it at the Empire Cinema and had the comfy sofas..and I was thinking this is the right way to watch a movie :) I should say the movie is a double thumbs up! I gave it a double because the Darling couldn't stop yapping 'kenapa tu? mana ia? you think anuuu...' When he yaps that much that means he is really enjoying himself hehehe It is a brutal movie and I was speechless at the end because I was expecting this and it came out that - all in all Verdict A.

Another movie that I watched on Friday was "District 9" - another Verdict A movie cause I didn't expect the movie to turned out like that in the end. It's about aliens and humans, which I thought it is going to be like G.I.Joe and Transformers or something. But it was a really good movie with a very sad ending..I was really touched. So guys I reckon you should be hitting the cinemas!

Sunday - Was about to go out and pick up the Darling when I slipped at the front porch on my niece's rubber puzzle mat thing and landed on back and hurt my right arm and the back of my head! Seriously I landed with a huge thumppp!!! You know when people say something about 'their life flashing right before their eyes" when something bad is about to happen to them, well I believe that now. Before the unfortunate "slip" I was deciding which sandals to wear, and I decided to wear the crocs which the Darling bought for me, you know it was raining and I think it was safer to wear the crocs, though I wore it almost everyday :P Just a few steps after I could feel the lost of friction beneath my feet and by right things should happen fast, but I swear I could witness the whole unfortunate incident right before my eyes, the chair, the ceiling, the rain, everything was in my sight and then thumppp!! I was lying down on the tiles! I didn't feel the pain much at first. Took my time to relax in the car and called the Darling for some short shoulder crying session. When I came over the Darling was sweet enough to rub some hot ointment to my injured arm, though after that he made fun of it by comparing which fall was worse, my recent slip or my 'terpelicuk' incident at Mindef few months back. He is such a meanie but at the same time such a sweet angel :) Loves it!!

My right arms feels really painful by the minute and I feel dizzy whenever I lie down :( If things get worse I should get a check up tomorrow...

I'm going to end my weekend post with this cute video clip of "SERIOUS BABY" soooo adorable! Anyhooos I hope you'll enjoy it! Salam semua :)

Greatness.

2009-08-12T01:08:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers..

Well it has been great so far and apologize for the lack of updates over the weekend. Good things has happened, on a daily basis actually, alhamdulilah..and I hope it will continue on.

Last Sunday was ~N~'s bersanding at her residence. The bride and groom wore maroon with silver touches of the embroidery and ~N~'s silver tudong which totally highlights with the clean and sweet white background of the pelamin and bouquet of red roses at the sides makes the whole scenery elegant. I got to hitch a ride with Pips988 again..with Raidah, Dawi and her hubby Mazrul. And before anything, THANKS DAWI FOR THE KRISPY KREME!! Loves you!!!! While waiting for Dawi, we were already imagining the taste of the Original Glazed Donut..and to our surprise she did bought us some!!! I still remember when I had my first Krispy Kreme Original Glazed experience. I was queing at the Krispy Kreme counter in Manila, and while I was looking at the donuts through the glass, the kind attendant offered me a freshly baked just glazed donut and it just melt in my mouth and I end falling in love it and ignored the other donuts. Such a great time. Hahah enough about that.

I got to watch G.I.Joe The Rise of the Cobra with the Darling last Friday. I was actually looking forward to watch this movie since G.I.Joe was my childhood cartoon series but the movie, well, I yawned a couple of times and the Darling 'rested' his eyes a couple of times too. Hehehe. I still prefer 'The Proposal", but G.I.Joe, too much shooting and I just couldn't get the motive of it hehe Verdict C.

I found this one article on Twitter, which made me..laugh? I don't how to react to it when I read it but the thought of this infamous 'thing' to banned which I was not a huge fan in the first place, it's hilarious? The title was so attention catching that made me click on to it and read it.
Click on --> Speedos Banned (I told you it would catch your attention!) hahaha

Ok now peeps, I am gonna leave you with bits and pieces of ~N~'s Bersanding, the rest of it for those who has my FB account could catch it there! Salam peeps!!!!

*For those who thinks Happy will be Happy :)

The Happy Newly Weds!!

The friends

P.S. We hope you like the gift..it's for your private stash hahaha

Salaaam.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Tomorrow is ~N~'s bersanding, I know she's excited right now. Inda bertidur kali. When it were me I would be super excited! For one day in your whole life you are nomited to be King And Queen for the day.
So yea for the past few weeks been thinking of what to get the newly weds for their wedding gift. PiPs988 and I have been exchanging ideas of what to get her and the yours truly was suppose to get the gift and then sibuk tiaaa. So went out with the Darling after school to shop for the gift, well firstly go makan cause the sweetness hasn't had lunch. I had this particular gift in mind, the one Pips988 and I had discussed, well luckily I went out shopping with the Darling where he gave another idea and we went to search for the fabulous version of 'his idea'. We went to this store that is "my taste" type of kadai. I loved the gift. Love it so much that I wanted to get one for myself. But unfortunately there is only one of it, ada plang yg kan sama but different design. Nda apa lah, lucky ~N~ she got one of a kind gift for her wedding! :) I definately know she would love it!

Anyhoos..will be posting pictures from the bersanding and before that I would like to share this link that would be useful to all my Muslim readers. Enjoy peeps! Happy weekend!

2009-08-02T23:54:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So yea, today I will be revealing the 'mysterious' identity of a close friend of mine that will be, actually has gotten married - yup! as the title states - it's Ayien aka ~N~! Location was at Lamunin and I got to hitch a ride with PiPs988 and her Lollipop @ Rossi Valentino hehehe

Before the long ride to ~N~'s, the Darling came over with Nasi Lemak (so yummy!) and we had lunch together. It's just so fabulous. And yea the Darling will 'berdagang' at the Gerai Ramadhan at the Stadium parking lot, which is part of the school's business project. I can tell the Nasi Lemak was yummy for sure. I will announce the location of his gerai and so yea peeps do drop by *winkS*

Ok back to ~N~'s story, PiPs988 and her lollipop Rossi Valentino came to pick me up at 1.30pm (thou berjanji kan mengambil sebelum 1.30pm pasal nya kan berjumpa si nawi 1.30pm atu nya and convoy ke arah si ~N~ :P) Anyhoooos, we met up with Nawi at Hua Ho Tanjong Bunut and convoyed all the way to Lamunin. Surprisingly we arrived quiet early, sanang cari parking, so sanang that we parked di ujung simpang konon nya sanang keluar inda jam..manisss)
Upon arrival we went straight up to the bride-to-be's bedroom, and she was already all dolled-up! Well almost, vail nya and this fabulous blingy thing that she puts on her tudong alum berpasang. P.S - Fabulous tudong bling - noted!! :)

We got to witness ~N~ reciting this..mmm I don't what they call it..vows? Nda jua..well the one bini-bini baca and sign before the nikah. I like the ustaz that did the nikah. He was very "full of information" and most of us actually learned a lot regarding marriages. The groom said the Nikah out in one lafaz wohooooooo! And I learned something from PiPs988 that it is makruh to eat berdiri, cause we came out late sal bergambar saja, but in the end we found seats :) The campur are these yummy cupcakes that her eldest sister of Taste On Tray made.

Next week is the bersanding, but anyhooos I would like to congratulate the newly weds a blissful marriage and semoga kekal ke akhir hayat..amin :) Loves you both!

P.S - I have uploaded pictures from the Nikah in my Facebook so peeps you can peek it from there.. Well enjoy these bits and pieces from ~N~ and ~W~'s beautiful nikah :)

Any time any where,
pose is a must!

And finally,
"Newly Weds"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's Sunday news! Saturday night was fabulous! It was our 16 months anniversary :) Greatness isn't it. We had dinner with the family at the Airport Restaurant "Singapore Food Festival" and the food was yum yum yum! The salmon, the lamb, the crab .. oh the crab.. slurps!! and my favourite was the Roti Bakar! Deliscious!!!! Rasa durian and custard! Even more deliscious!!!!! We even got to meet the famous Chef Bob @ Chek Skuter..and apparently his name is Shahrizal ..hmmmm sounds like the name of a person that I know..with the same beard and stuff hehehehe That night instead of us giving compliments TO the Chef, it was "somebody" that got a compliment FROM the Chef heheheh I wonder who it was ah sayang? Something about body and stuff hehehe

I love the crab..oh the roti...nyaman eh..need to go there again before the festival ends. After dinner we went to catch "The Proposal" with the rest of the gang at Empire cinema..attendees were Eddy/Ira and Syalai..AmLir was already with us..so altogether it was 10 of us. I love love love the movie. It was so funny and romantic. But since the girls love it..obviously the guys would find it like a bedtime story to put them to sleep. Who cares I loved it! Verdict A++ Next movie "Orphan" :)

Us with the famous Chef Bob

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It's almost 3am and I am still up. Just finished doing some work. Well I was suppose to continue to bling my new dull pendrive but that obviously went down the drain..if I still have the energy after this I might continue.. some sparkly sparkly it is just so fabulous! I just couldn't stand it being so plain. Even my phone is blinged now :) If I can bling my whole phone it would just be fabulous. At the moment it is just the back part. Come on, some thing that you look at everyday wouldn't it be nice for it to be sparkly - a treat to the eyes ;)

Later we will be having 'makan aul' at my Granny's place in Bunut. And today is the premiere of 'The Proposal". My sister in-law will be catching the afternoon show with her girlfriends, well me, I will be watching it with the Darling on Saturday night. Can't wait! Another thing that I can't wait for the weekend is the Singapore Food Festival! Yup! We will be dining Singapore style this weekend! The food seems oh so irresistable! UuuuUUu siasiapun! slurp!

Another event to look forward to the weekend is one of my dear close friend's Nikah. I am not going to mention the name now..I am just going to keep it for after the event where I will be posting pictures and you'll know who it is then :) And I need to apologize on behalf of the girlfriends that we couldn't make our suppose-to-be-ritual wedding uniforms pasal banyak kadai jahit inda sanggup sudah. Seriously I just didn't realize how fast the time flies. But we're going to stick to a "uniform colour" just to make up for it :)

Does anyone know where I can the dvd for the thriller movie "The Orphan". I couln't find it in Amazon.com so if anyone knows where I can get it here do let me know :) Pleaseeeee

So yea, I am going to leave you with this piece of information that I get from a forward email which I think maybe useful. I think it is useful. Good day peeps!

DRINKING WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

إشرب الماء على معدة خالية

أصبح من المعتاد اليوم في اليابان شرب الماء مباشرة بعد الاستيقاظ صباحا. وفوق ذلك فقد أثبتت الاختبارات العلمية قيمتها. وننشر أدناه وصفة استخدام الماء لقرائنا الأعزاء. وقد اكتشفت جمعية طبية يابانية نجاح العلاج بالماء لأمراض مزمنة وخطيرة وكذلك للأمراض المتوسطة كعلاج ناجح 100% للأمراض التالية:

الصداع ، آلام الجسم ، أمراض القلب ، التهاب المفاصل ، ضربات القلب السريعة ، الصرع ، السمنة أو البدانة المفرطة ، التهاب القصبات ، الربو ، السل ، التهاب السحايا (السحائي) ، أمراض الكلية والجهاز البولي ، التقيؤ ، التهاب المعدة ، الاسهال ، الخوازيق (البواسير) ، مرض السكري ، الإمساك ، جميع أمراض العيون ، الرحم ، السرطان ، الإضطرابات الحيضية ، أمراض الأذن والأنف والحنجرة.

METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2.. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

أسلوب المعالجة:

1.. فور استيقاظك في الصباح وقبل تفريش أسنانك ، إشرب 4 أقداح من الماء (سعة 160 مللتر)

2. فرش أسنانك ونظف فمك ولكن لا تأكل أو تشرب أي شيء قبل مرور 45 دقيقة.

3. بعد مرور ال_45 دقيقة بإمكانك أن تأكل وتشرب كالمعتاد.

4. بعد 15 دقيقة من الإفطار ، وكذلك الغداء ، والعشاء ( لا تأكل أو تشرب أي شيء لمدة ساعتين).

5. بالنسبة لكبار السن أو المرضى والذين لا يستطيعون شرب 4 أقداح من الماء في البداية يمكنهم شرب القليل من الماء وتدريجيا يزيدون الكمية إلى أن تصل إلى 4 أقداح كل يوم.

6. إن أسلوب العلاج المبين أعلاه يشفي أمراض أولئك الذين يعانون منها بإذن الله أما الناس الاعتياديين فسيتمتعون بحياة صحية سليمة وجيدة إن شاء الله .

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)

2. Gastric (10 days)

3. Diabetes (30 days)

4. Constipation (10 days)

5. Cancer (180 days)

6. TB (90 days)

7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

وتبين القائمة أدناه عدد الأيام اللازمة للعلاج المطلوب للتداوي أو السيطرة على الأمراض أو تقليل أثرها:

1. ضغط الدم العالي (30 يوما)

2. أمراض المعدة والحموضة (10 أيام)

3. مرض السكري (30 يوما)

4. الإمساك (10 أيام)

5. السرطان (180 يوما)

6. السل (90 يوما)

7. المرضى المصابين بالتهاب المفاصل يجب أن يتبعوا العلاج أعلاه فقط لمدة 3 أيام في الأسبوع الأول ، ثم يومياً من الأسبوع الثاني فصاعداً.

إن أسلوب العلاج أعلاه لا يشكل أي أضرار جانبية ، ومع ذلك ففي بداية العلاج قد تضطر إلى التبول عدة مرات .

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

من الأفضل الاستمرار بهذا الأسلوب في العلاج وجعل هذا الإجراء واجب روتيني في حياتنا ..

تعود على شرب الماء بانتظام وتمتع بصحة ولياقة ونشاط ..

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

هذا الأمر يبدو معقولا تماما ... إن الصينيين واليابانيين يشربون الشاي الساخن مع تناول وجباتهم الغذائية. ربما أصبح اليوم الوقت المناسب إتباع طريقة أسلوبهم وعادتهم في تناول الطعام !!! لن تخسروا شيئا ، فقط الكسب ..

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

بالنسبة لأولئك الذين يحبون شرب الماء البارد ، ينطبق عليكم هذا الموضوع فانتبهوا لطفاً . قد يكون لذيذاً أن تتناول قدحاً من المشروب البارد بعد الوجبة الغذائية .. وعلى أية حال ، فالماء البارد سوف يصلِّب المادة الزيتية التي استهلكتها تواً ، وسوف تبطئ عملية الهضم ..

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

وحالما يتفاعل هذا الراسب مع الحامض ، فسوف يتكسر وتمتصه الأمعاء أسرع من الطعام الصلب .... وسوف يبطِّن الأمعاء ..

وبعد مدة وجيزة سوف يتحول إلى دهون وتقود إلى السرطان .. من الأفضل شرب شوربة ساخنة أو ماء دافئ بعد وجبة الطعام

A serious note about heart attacks:

· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,

· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

ملاحظة مهمة وجدية حول الهجمة القلبية أوالأزمة القلبية:

· على النساء أن يعلموا أنه ليس كل أعراض الأزمة القلبية تكون ألم الذراع الأيسر .

· انتبهوا إلى الألم الشديد في خط الفك السفلي

· قد لا تشعر بألم الصدر أولا خلال فترة الهجمة القلبية .

· الغثيان والتعرق الشديد أيضاً من الأعراض الاعتيادية .

· 60% من الأشخاص الذين يصابون بالأزمة القلبية بينما هم نائمون لا يستيقظون .

· قد يوقظك الألم في الفك من نومٍ عميق .. يجب أن نكون حريصين ومدركين . كلما تعلمنا وعرفنا أكثر ، كلما كانت فرصة النجاة أفضل بإذن الله.

My.July.So.Far.

2009-07-27T03:12:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So yea, how was my July so far? Well one thing for sure there is nothing to complain and it has been great. There was much of the Coffee Bean and a lot of the eating out. And also there was the occasional "jalan in bandar" which I would like to thank the Darling, to make the sacrifice hehehe.
And also there was that one particular incident where I found 'giuk' in my food at a restaurant. Damn it! Whenever I think about it I get so disgusted and mad! I am just so upset that someone would try to get profit in a very 'disgusting' way! I seriously want to question how they prepare their food. A maggot developing in the food doesn't happen overnight. That particular food has been in open air (and with flies flying all over!!) and should be more than three days. Yes, I have checked the developement of a freakin maggot! Yang barigali nya idup lagi giuk ani!! And there was two of them! Damn.. sudah tah eh, the authorities have taken action. "F" them! Seriously with that type of business inda berkat tu! So people be careful with what you eat in restaurants, especially those yang andang awal bersediakan.

I am just going to leave that awful incident behind, and let's go to happier times, like movies with the Darling and the gang where we watched "Skrip 7707" last Saturday night. Before the movie we all went to have dinner at Ice Bar steamboat. So fun!!

Hmmm...I am trying to recap my previous week..there was a lot outdoor events, and mostly it consist of eating out, which is the best! Earlier, as in yesterday Sunday, went out with the Darling for our ritual Sunday-Jalan :) And of all the days Sunday has always been my favourite. We went to watch "Pelham 123" and enjoying burgers and nuggets. Slurp! That movie has a verdict of A+! And because of that movie, I realized I actually have my own John Travolta *insidetalk* hehehe
Yup peeps! You should catch that movie. Also there is another movie I really want to see, besides the Proposal is 'Orphan' suggested by KimKardashian in Twitter. Yes peeps I do Tweet :P You can follow me if you want @elleshahri and yes I am a fan of KimKardashian and I do follow her :P So yea back to that movie, the Orphan is about a husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be. I have seen the trailer and that movie seemed so twisted! As KimKardashian would quote - it is the scariest movie she has ever seen with a twist in it. It is a must see!

So I think I am going to end my post with the trailer of the movie 'Orphan', signing out now, I just finished doing my work so that I can go out later in the afternoon to get my stuff that just arrived from Australia - new stocks just in :) Have a good Monday peeps! Puasa is coming up! Am I looking forward?! Ya-huh!! :) Salam peeps.

Stay.In.Friday

2009-07-17T23:36:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It has been a relaxing Friday for me this week. Just stay in, chill with the family, tidur petang and in the evening update the project site.

We're suppose to watch Harry Potter tomorrow. My sister-in-law was so excited about watching it, I know she's a huge fan of Harry Potter, huge huge. But since Mr.Le2Mo @ si jul's bad review about it, she changed her mind. Kesian jua hehe. Nya she's going to catch in on DVD. So probably we'll just go for steamboat and watch something else.

Last Friday night, I attended my cousin Dinah's 24th birthday in Bunut. That afternoon bought my new Sony T90 digital camera, thanks to the Darling. I was thinking twice of getting a new digital camera since I broke my old Sony digital camera when I was in Manila last year. I loved that camera. And there was a history behind why I bought that camera, well now that I think about that 'story' - let it be broken! Thanks the Darling, Mitch and Mr.A'ai White for coming!

So yea, I was reading through some articles about friends and their hidden disguises. And it hit me, I do know and encounter these friend(s) with an ugly attitude. And I am wondering why am I still friends with this person. Being secretively jealous and envious has always been a major character of this person. Sometimes I don't even understand why this friend would be jealous. And what I mean by jealous is not about looks or anything, usually it would be about stuff and social events or someting particular to that. Sometimes I don't even know that this friend is holding grudges until this friend proves it by acting out discreetly. Baik jua nda di racun nya mun pendandam and pendangki inda pedah-pedah atu. And the sad thing is of all friends it seems like this friend is always holding grudges againts me, secretly and maybe I am being paranoid. This friend keeps on showing proofs of discreet vengance over the years, and most obvious in recent times as well. Biar lah. Asal kan saja ia bahagia laaaaaaai.

Later peeps!

HM's.63rd.Birthday.

2009-07-15T23:19:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Happy birthday to our beloved and very much respected leader in Brunei, that is His Royal Highness Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzadin Waddaulah, Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam, who is celebrating his 63rd birthday today!! In respect to a very 'hot titah' that was announced by the Majesty himself on the 13th July 2009, as a present for his 63rd birthday, he deserves all the blessings he can get for good health, wealth and longivity in ruling from his rakyat of Brunei Darussalam! Daulat Tuanku :)

Let me share a few info about our ruler - He was born on July 15, 1946 in Brunei Town (now called Bandar Seri Begawan). He became crown prince in 1961 and sultan on October 5, 1967, after his father abdicated voluntarily. His coronation was held on August 1, 1968. Like his father, he has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, of which Brunei was a protectorate until 1984.

Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah
Mu'izzadin Waddaulah
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so what did I do today? Well before today, the family and I, inclusive of the Darling, had a wonderful dinner at Terindak D'Seni which is located to the Handicrafts Centre in Bandar. They serve Malay cuisines and it is oh-so deliscious!! The Nasi Maharani, Ayam Tomato, Daging Rendang, Kambing Korma...sluuuuuuurpppp!!! Nyaman crazy! I saved my appettite for the dinner but still need to control because the Darling was there - thankfully. The Darling and I both went for a second round - whoopsie! Hehehe But the Darling didn't go for the Nasi Maharani in the second round - he went for the Ayam Tomato and Rendang if I was not mistaken. For my second round I went for the Nasi Maharani again - sikit saja hahaha like somebody I know quote "lampuh pun lampuh lah!!" hehehe siapa tu ah sayang cakap cematu? hehe But yes thankfully the Darling was there I was able to control my food intake. He is my reason - loves it!
After dinner, the Darling and I went for our favourite alone activity - don't be getting any ideas :P - it is going to the cinema. We watched "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp. Hmm the rating would be, so sorry Johnny - a mere D. I love Johnny Depp, before I thought he was one of the sexiest actors since he was in Pirates of The Carribean. The movie was longer than 2 hours, too many shooting, I didn't like the videography (whatever you call it) and I didn't like the ending!! But Johnny Depp was funny in there no doubt.

And today, went out with the Darling for a 'whatever' day, which we have not done in a while. 'Whatever' meaning no plans - just go out, go where the road takes us (atu ahhh hehe) and ironically our 'whatever day' is tiring than our usual day and longer! Akhir lagi balik hahah Seriously peeps, for mid-twenties adult like us, we need a plan. It was so tiring going out with out any intentions. I am sure we burned so many calories walking around and thinking where to go. Without proper planning of where to go, this is when people usually end up spending a lot in shopping - that's what we did! Jalan jalan tengok tengok bali bali. Oooh I miss my teenage days where we can just walk around and hang out at Yayasan or Centrepoint for hours without even buying anything, janji berjalan.

But the best thing about today - is the time spent with the Darling - always the best time ever :)

Till tomorrow ... Salam everyone!

Dedicated to my one and only Darling - I know you love this *winkS*

Padas.Unhygienic.&.Eww!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

We, the Darling and I, had an uneventful dinner earlier. We love food, we love it so much, and I am particularly stating 'ayam penyet' as one of our tops. So earlier, we wanted to have a change of scene, went to try this all-people-have-been-talking-about ayam penyet in Bandar.
Firstly, we went to the wrong gerai. But the kitchen was clean and it was comfortable eating there. But unfortunately it was not the 'famous penyet gerai'. After endless texting and calling people wanting to know where it is, we finally found it. You guys have been to the Tamu Selera in Bandar right? It's huge, a lot of chairs and tables, to me it is ok. But this gerai is at the side where I barely know it existed, it was just so ... cramped!! A lot of mosquitos! But taisliur punya pasal, we were determined to give it a shot and oh my god it was so freakingly padas! The ayam was..so so.
In the middle of eating, I suddenly got worried looking at the Darling, with his face so red! And sweaty! Even his eyes were red and watery! With that we decide to give an overall of F - to everything! The food,the place, the mosquitos!

We were at the bank in the mall earlier, and while waiting for our que, to kill time we went to Best Eastern to look for this book that has been in my head since my sister-in-law was reading it a few days ago as her UBD assignment hehe and she exlplained about the book and got me interested. The book is called "Desert Royal" by Jean Sasson. Will start to read it tomorrow.

Night peeps!

Food.Fiesta.Weekend.

2009-07-12T11:49:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Well oh well it's the weekend again. So yea I had a lovely week, as usual, alhamdulilah. Times spent with the Darling is magical and I have to admit, sometimes I just can't get enough. I see him almost everyday and everyday seemed like it is just the first time we meet. Yup! To me he is just that great.

Before I start I would like to congratulate "Mala & Syazwan" for their wedding today. We bumped into the couple when we were about to watch Transformers II a couple weeks ago and that is when they told us about their wedding day. Sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding but yea babe would love to see your pictures! :) Again congratulations!!

My weekend was filled with eating fiesta all around. Which obviously proved that I have broken my diet so far, but hey tomorrow is Monday, a new day, a good day for a good start *crosses fingers* hehe
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday: Had dinner at Excapade with the Darling and continued with coffee routine.

Saturday: "Couples Steamboat" Thanks RemyBoo for the organizing and the treat!! :) Had steamboat dinner at Shabu-Shabu and attendees were myself and the Darling, PiPs988 and Rossi Valentino and The Boos. It was really fun hanging out all couples, you can be with your loved one and your friends too, eating something really hot and cooking and just ber-ibun like we were the only customers there. It has been a while and of course the teasing and laughing went non-stop. There was some mentioning of the infamous Alang and his stories. Hehehe. Surprisingly the guys didn't have much of a word on this infamous Alang. I wonder why. Hahaha. I assume it proves that us girls go online more than the guys!
Oh yea! I got my first baju raya while waiting to be seated. (from the boutique next door that is). The Darling loved the outfit and I am glad he did cause the baju is so fabulous, elegant yet simple - just the way I like it! Need to shop for two more and then I am done. At the same time need to look out for an outfit for a friend's special day in August. Sorry babe we had to go for ready-made cause banyak kadai jahit sudah inda sanggup hehe but the baju of course will be improvised glamourously. Mentioning of looking for baju raya - I am not having any tailor-made baju raya this year, still got some from last year and this year I am going for ready-made improvision. Need to cut down on expenses and save for necessary occasions :) After dinner, the Darling and I went for a quality coffee time - just us :)

Sunday - Brought the Big Daddy to JPMC with Mummy because of his swollen throat. Poor daddy. He has been suffering from the swollen throat for almost a week. The meds from the previous clinic he went to didn't agree with him. Now alhamdulilah, he has his loud voice back! After the check up went to have lunch at JPMC's cafeteria, and I got to say it has been a while that I tasted Nasi Lemak that good. The pastries were deliscious too, especially the cinnamon bun - my favourite! Even the Nasi Goreng mummy had was nyaman crazy. Shall we pay JPMC's cafeteria another visit in the near future? Yes sir!
In the evening, had ambuyat dinner with the family and the Darling too. After dinner continued with coffee and this time, it is not leisure but with work! It has been a while since we had coffee and work. Not since the Darling's almost two month school holiday.

~Couples Steamboat Night~

The couple that we bumped into,
the newly engaged Kiah & Azmi

Have a good Monday peeps!! Salam to everyone :)

Songs goes out to the Darling - I know you love it :)

2009-07-09T01:32:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So it's already Wednesday, well Thursday to be exact. Yesterday was the late Micheal Jackson's Memorial at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Since the wireless parallel Astro thingy in my room was terminated months ago, the only thing left was the receiver, which I still keep for when I 'steal' my mum's a Astro card once in a while. Wasn't it fun when we had to share one Astro card. Hmmph! The only source of Astro is in my mom's room and my brother's room. The other alternative is via satelite aka 'prabola' which I can view it in the dining area. But the idea of being alone in the dining area in the middle for a few hours, well..naaaah. I thought of watching it online but I got carried away with watching old DVDs. Hmpph! I end up waking up at 4.30am watching the re-run of the historical event streaming on E! Online. Watching one of the most historic memorial of the century ever organized for an entertainment legend like Micheal Jackson is one thing that for sure should not be missed. I was moved when Paris, Micheal's daughther was saying her last goodbyes and Usher's performance, phweeeeef..I actually felt something. Apa nya urang melayu, 'sebak di dada' - something like that. May he rest in peace, and my prayers are with you Micheal.

So what happened yesterday - as in Tuesday?? Well, I run some personal errands paying bills and stuff. I had time to kill before I meet the Darling for coffee so I went to take my car for its tyre alignment, and it turned out it was not only alignment problems but a whole bunch of stuff too. There was its chambering problem, tyrod, dust cover and other stuff. I was lost when the mechanic explained what was the problem with my tyres, luckily when the Darling came he was able to understand all these car mechanical stuff. *HugsU*

Earlier today, I went to get the necessary parts for the car with the Big Daddy. In the afternoon, I went to sent it to the workshop, with the Darling again, and we had a pretty interesthing afternoon while waiting for the car to be done. Fun. Laughter. It was all in the air. Like what Brooke Sheilds said to Micheal in the Memorial, "the most natural and easiest of friendships" - and that is how we started. *SmileS*

Ok..I am going to end my post for the day smitten and thinking about the Darling and some unusual info I got from forward emails, which I am not sure how true the facts are but I think you might find interesthing..Enjoy your day peeps! Salam!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Man Who Can't Get Fat

Mr Perry, 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat.

He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off "almost over night". He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect. Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that the condition would be a "slimmer's dream".

The Man Who Doesn't Feel Cold

Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice, and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for new challenges.

Scientists can't really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.

The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep: stayed awake 24 hours a day for years.

Rhett Lamb is often cranky like any other 3-year-old toddler, but there's one thing that makes him completely different: he has a rare medical condition in which he can't sleep a wink.

Rhett is awake nearly 24 hours a day, and his condition has baffled his parents and doctors for years. They took clock shifts watching his every sleep-deprived mood to determine what ailed the young boy.

After a number of conflicting opinions, Shannon and David Lamb finally learned what was wrong with their child: Doctors diagnosed Rhett with an extremely rare condition called chiari malformation.

"The brain literally is squeezed into the spinal column. What happens is you get compression, squeezing, strangulating of the brain stem, which has all the vital functions that control sleep, speech, our cranial nerves, our circulatory system, even our breathing system," Savard said.

The Girl Who is Allergic to Water.

Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water. Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14. She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.

The Woman Who Can't Forget.

That's the story of AJ, an extraordinary 40-year-old married woman who remembers everything.

McGaugh and fellow UCI researchers Larry Cahill and Elizabeth Parker have been studying the extraordinary case of a person who has "nonstop, uncontrollable and automatic" memory of her personal history and countless public events. If you randomly pick a date from the past 25 years and ask her about it, she'll usually provide elaborate, verifiable details about what happened to her that day and if there were any significant news events on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week it was and what the weather was like.

The 40-year-old woman, who was given the code name AJ to protect her privacy, is so unusual that UCI coined a name for her condition in a recent issue of the journal Neurocase: hyperthymestic syndrome.

The Girl Who Eats Only Tic Tacs.

Eet Natalie Cooper, a 17-year-old teenager who has a mystery illness that makes her sick every time she eats anything. Well, almost anything. She can eat one thing that doesn't make her sick: Tic tac mint!

For reasons that doctors are unable to explain, Tic tacs are the only thing she can stomach, meaning she has to get the rest of her sustenance from a specially formulated feed through a tube.

The Musician Who Can't Stop Hiccupping.

Chris Sands, 24, from Lincoln, hiccups as often as every two seconds - and sometimes even when he is asleep. He has tried a variety of cures, including hypnosis and yoga, but nothing has worked. Mr Sands thinks his problem stems from an acid reflux condition caused by a damaged valve in his stomach. "If the acid levels are severe enough they are going to do keyhole surgery and grab part of my stomach and wrap it around the valve to tighten it," he said.

Mr Sands, who is a backing singer in the group Ebullient, said the condition has hampered his career as he has only been able to perform four times. In the next couple of weeks --as of the day of the report--, doctors at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre will put a tube into his stomach to monitor acid levels and decide if keyhole surgery is possible.

The Girl That Collapses Every Time She Laughs.

Kay Underwood, 20, has cataplexy, which means that almost any sort of strong emotion triggers a dramatic weakening of her muscles. Exhilaration, anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers to suddenly collapse on the spot.

Kay, of Barrow-upon- Soar, Leicestershire (UK), who was diagnosed with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a single day. She said: "People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn't always easy to cope with strangers' reactions. "

Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning. Narcolepsy affects around 30,000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of them also have cataplexy.

The Woman Who is Allergic to Modern Technology.

For most people talking on a mobile phone, cooking dinner in the microwave or driving in a car is simply part of modern living in 21st century Britain. But completing any such tasks is impossible for Debbie Bird - because she is allergic to Cell Phones and Microwaves.

The 39-year-old is so sensitive to the electromagnetic field (emf) or 'smog' created by computers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and even some cars, that she develops a painful skin rash and her eyelids swell to three times their size if she goes near them. As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to try and stay healthy. 'I can no longer do things that I used to take for granted,' Mrs Bird said. "My day-to-day life has been seriously affected by EMF"..

July.Weekend.

2009-07-06T02:14:00.009+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It is July already and to be honest I do not realize how fast the time flies. One time I am getting "free coffees" on New year's eve and the next thing it is already the seventh month of the year. A lot has happened in the past few months and productivity is yet to be increased.

Broke my diet a bit in the last month. With the new gym at home, hopefully I can sustain my goal in the coming months. So in the next few months there would be a lot of planning and goal reaching to do!

Updates on the deadly swine flu that had strike the country with the numbers rapidly growing by the day, I have to say that this 'flu' is really scaring me. One - I don't know how my system would react to it, and second - the procedure to take the mucus specimen is giving me the jitters! The idea of a 'tube' going up my nostrils and deeper..it scares the sh*t out of me! It should be painful..and the waiting..that makes you wonder - that should be torture. Jauh palis. I pray for me and to all of you that I know to not be infected with this disease. Amin.

A lot has happened in the past week and all has been so good memories :) Agendas goes as follows:
1st July - anniversary dinner @ Deals - thank you my dear darling - you're the sweetest thing ever made :)
2nd July - My brother's wedding anniversary. Steamboat fiesta with the whole family@ Icebar Shabu-Shabu. Continue with late coffee at Bandar :)
4th - Seafood fiesta @ Taman Selera Alam, and again continue with late coffee.
5th - cleaning out my room for colour renovation!

We, the Darling and I, are still pouring out ideas and making bits and pieces of changes to our project site. It's been on for a while but not officially advertised and announced, and for now I could give out some hints of what it is going to be - well it is about clothing for women - but that doesn't stop there - the question is "for what women...?" Stay tuned readers! :)

It is Monday - And I am looking forward to the day and the rest of the week! :)

Happy 3rd year anniversary :)

The.Weekend.Without.MJ

2009-06-29T00:40:00.007+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Am now sipping now my Double Vanilla Tea Latte (the ice hancur sudah but it still very refreshing) recapping my weekend. Just had steamboat dinner with the beloved Darling, A'ai and the BooS. It was great catching up with them. Lama dah nda lepak-lepak. And the Mrs.Boo had a new haircut and evidently a new 'watch' hahaha. On Saturday afternoon went jalan-jalan with Mummy and Shasya to the Consumer Fair @ ICC and the Mall - and it's all because the huge craving for Brownies @ SasBrownies and the taisliur teramat sangat to the arabian sweets - Baklava - that people have been talking about. The places were hectic with people. And we were just not a huge fan of tooooo crowded places. Saturday night had a romantic italian pizza dinner with the Darling.

Oh yes, some of our 'business stuff' arrived last Thursday and it got me really excited! The business is now offically on the go! Now we're waiting for some more shipments and then we will be announcing it soon!! Business is a rush, but good ethics takes patience - E!

I got to watch 'Transformers II- Revenge of the Fallen' with the Darling, A'ai and Mitch - the Darling's sister at Qlap Mall last Thursday night. Earlier we had a small birthday surprise thingy for Mitch at Pizza Hut. Hehehe. It was fun especially with the waiters singing Happy birthday in four different languages. And Transformers was great too!! It was long but a great deal of entertainment! Verdict: B

I received some very sad news as of Friday morning which took me by shock. As all of you already know, the one of a kind greatest singers of all era, the late Micheal Joseph Jackson aka Micheal Jackson aka MJ aka Jacko passed away. It was supposedly to be a beautiful Friday morning. I was still in bed when logging on to Facebook from my phone, yes people I am a Facebook addict, when I read the people's status sending condolences to Micheal Jackson. I was like 'what?'. Googled 'micheal jackson' and I was shocked to see the results from my google. Somehow my heart was pounding abit and at the same time I received a message from the Darling conveying the same news.I seriously did not expect that MJ's death would have that huge of an impact on me. His songs were my companion growing up. He was a huge part of my childhood. I had all his cassettes, laser dics, cds, t-shirts, magazines, note books, stationary and many other merchandise of MJ. I remembered back when I was younger, around 11 or 12 of age, and I was walking around Singapore with my dad at night after he had bought me my very first Discman that afternoon. Malam tu kononnya kan meliat CD lah tu. And I vividly remembered, my very first compact disc was Micheal Jackson's History Album (Double Gold Disc Edition). Back then I didn't know that much artist except for MJ and New Kids On the Block :P

I really loved his songs. I even have his video clips in m iPod :P Yeah I can say I was a huge fan of him. His lyrics, I love when he sings 'woo!' and 'jumo!' - you could hear it in almost all his songs. And with respect to the late Micheal Jackson, I would like to share few of my favorite songs and video clips, to which I am still listening till now. I would have put more but most of the embed was disabled. Boring. May you rest in peace and may Allah be with you. Amin.

Zakiah.&.Azmi's.Engagement.

2009-06-21T23:38:00.009+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Before I proceed, I would like to wish my dad and all the fabulous fathers "Happy Fathers' Day". We celebrated father's day by bringing the big daddy out for lunch at Millennium Restaurant. I just have to mention the buffet was superb. Roasted beef. Roasted duck. Slurp! I hope they would still have the same buffet for tomorrow.

Not only it is Father's Day, it is also a big day for two of my dear friends Zakiah and Azmi! It is their engagement day today. After so long of being together, they finally made it official. I am truly happy for them! They have been through a lot and 2009 marks their victory for happiness together.

I came quite early around 2pm cause lunch ended sooner that I expected. Jemputan pukul 2.30pm. Hehehe. Luckily Ms.FunFun aka Nurul was there early too. Of course I took the advantage taking loads of pictures of the happily soon bride-to-be. Today was probably the second time I saw Kiah wearing make-up since our choir for Sea Games back in 1999. And she looks absolutely stunning! And she looks so happy, I am really happy for her. In the midst of being nervous, excited and happy, she was still giggly as before. Hehehe.

~N~ and Pips988 came around 3ish. The climax of the event was of course when the soon-to-be-mother-in-law menyarugkan cincin ke jari manis si Kiah. Edeeh. While people are busy enjoying the climax of the event, the three of us (E!, PiPs988 & ~N~), encountered an odd series of event when an old lady came up to ~N~ and said 'ambil aing angat!' with a very irritated face. Hehehe. Bukan sekali di suruh nya, dua kali kali ah! Si ~N~ ani inda jua kan ngambil aing angat ani! hahaha.

After the photo session, the three of us went to one of the tables to enjoy some of the snacks prepared. Then the same old lady came up to ~N~ and said 'siapa lagi kan di jarahi ani' (or something like that). Hahaha. We were so banggang. I was having cramps but that nini for sure cracks me up!

Seeing Kiah's happy face - I can't wait for my big day! *SmileS*

Kiah putting on her make-up

E! and Z!

Happy.Birthday.Fai.Tee @ Ms.Crab

2009-06-17T02:15:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dears,

Well it has been a 'memorable' past week for me. The Darling has been struck with fever and cough over the weekend. Poor him. But he has got one hell of recovery days. Three days of non-stop sleep! He has been sleeping a lot the last few days got me worried that he will never want to go to the outside world anymore hehehe

Anyhoooos a birthday shout-out to my dear good friend Ms. Onn Fai Tee aka Ms.Crab who is officially 22 today! With this I would like to grab this opportunity to thank dear Ms.Crab for everything that she has done for me and the Darling, the surprise birthdays etc. Thanks again Fai - you're the best!! :) Don't forget dinner Thursday Night :)

The sexy and fabulous
~Ms.Crab~
Happy Birthday!!!

So yea, my project site is up and I will announce it soon! I am just so excited about it! Owned by The Darling and myself :) And with this I would like to specially thank the Darling which I am now proudly to announce as NJ7 - thank you for the support darling! You are so amazing and I just love you the way you are :)

Been missing gym for the past few days but been making it up with our very own new threadmill and cross-training machine at home. Woohooooo! It's great!! Now I can do my cardio at home and weights in the gym :)

I was reading about an article where a sharia bill was signed that says a married woman can be forced in physical intimacy by her husband against her will. I honestly think this is ridiculous. Click on to read more.

Marriage is suppose to be a 'covenant' between a man and woman. It is suppose to be a beautiful contract for life between a man and woman that promises to spend the rest of their lives together. Well I for sure can't wait for my happy day :) There is a lot to look forward to on that supposely spectacular and memorable day :) *bigSmiles* Stay tuned peeps!

Since it is the school holidays - I was hoping to do some activities in the kitchen with the Darling like baking or cooking something which I know he is just not a huge fan of it :P *wishful* I was thinking to thinking to make Chilli Dogs :)

Especially to Ms.Crab - Enjoy babe!

Big's. Day.

2009-06-09T22:59:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Last Sunday we attended one of our gang - Mr. Big's wedding in Lambak and also went to the bride's place in Sengkarai Tutong. Ok let me tell a little something about the groom. He has been friends with my brother since high school. He has always been the quite one in the group. He was always bullied - playfully that is. He has always been the joke in the group by which he was always the one we joke on and the cool part was he was always cool with it and played along. Hehehe. One of his 'famous' joke 'banyak-banyak kucing....' (suara lagi macam urg pembaca berita) but he was actually serious hahaha you had to be there to find it funny.

On the way to the groom's

June.

2009-06-03T00:50:00.009+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Woowiee...it is already June. There are lot of events coming up. I myself have been productive in physical and work routines. Life is just great! Now I am just going to summarize the happenings in the last few days:
1st June: Our 14th :) Had dinner at Shabu Shabu Restaurant and to my surprise I bumped into Sharon! Our one and only Chinese classmate back in our high school days (from Form 1-3). She's looking fab! It was great meeting her.

31st May: Outing with the ladies cum Awie's surprise party @ Frattini's Bandar. This time we all brought our respective partners, except for poor Awie, her husband is still in UK. The Darling and I came late due to prior engagement, and soon after our arrival was Awie's surprise party. The surprise did not end there. The real surprise was when we were about to pay the bill. We were check listing our order and came across "Open Food" which was charged B$10/- We were curious and call in the waiter. And to our big surprise it was the charge for bringing in the cake! And when I say "bringing in the cake" - we brought our own cake --> gave to the waiter--> waiter brings cake to table! And the ridiculous thing is the counter where they put the cake is right behind us! Not 2 feet away! To me that is just a ridiculous amount. If it were B$3 - B$5, probably it would be acceptable, but it still isn't because we spent a fortune dining there. That would be the first and last - to have a birthday thing there.

Hmmm..I was thinking to have High Tea with the Ladies this Friday from 2-4pm at my place. Just to catch on gossips because the other day we didn't do much gossiping because the guys were there :P So say what Ladies?

Picture!! Ok 3 look at camera
A and 2 look at camera B!

Again! 3 look here! 2 look there!
Hahahahaha!

Being happy for this minute was not free!

Pizza anyone?

Khai, A'ai and one hero Hindustan!

*complimentary pic
- I just love the smile on this :)

Hey peeps! My new and upcoming site will be up real soon! So stay tuned! :)

New.Gym.

2009-05-26T23:30:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Due to some unfavored circumstances in my current gym, the Darling finally convinced me to move back to my previous gym which is where he is now. At first I was reluctant to cause I did not really fancy the bathroom, what a lame excuse :P When I look on the bright side, I could be in the same gym as the Darling again, brings in our first few memories together when we were back in the old gym. Though we are members of the same gym, our timing is poles apart. But yea, we're doing this for each other - that's the best part!

Check this out! Jessica Simpson lost 20lbs i.e 9kgs in 2 months! Envy much???!!!!

From this

So yea to those who might want to burn the extra body fat, here are some tips I found on the net which you might find useful cause for sure I will!

3 Ways To Burn Fat and Increase You Metabolism rate:

Start exercising in the morning - workout as soon after you wake up for 30 minutes to an hour. Studies shown that during this time your body will burn 3x more body fat as opposed to any other time of the day. After some quality sleep for 6-8 hours, your body uses up all those carbohydrates as energy for various bodily functions while you sleep. So when you wake up, your body doesn't have any carbohydrates in the morning as energy and now turning out to fats to burn as energy. (don't eat breakfast before you workout as it will give carbohydrates to your body, instead turn to protein drinks such as why protein)
Want to burn more fat? - Add another workout to your daily routine 5-6hours after your morning workout (provided that in the morning you do a cardio workout and continue in the afternoon with some light weights workout)
Eat a healthy breakfast!! - Never skip your breakfast! Eat some nutritious breakfast 30 minutes after your morning workout (in between you can take a shower or get ready for work of course). Eating breakfast in the morning is what fire starts your metabolism. It also will help to stop those cravings you might have in the later day.

Chao peeps!!!!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I crossed out 2 out of 3 task I am supposed to do today. Went to the office to do work, went to the gym in the afternoon, evening actually and I still haven't update my project blog. I could have done it now..but I just got back from the gym 3 hours ago..physically and mentally exhausted. Probably I'll do some touch ups on the site when I have the energy.

With the gym routine and my personal life, I never thought I could ever feel this happy. After experiencing the endless torturing heartaches and like your heart is about to explode and burst out from your eyes, ears and nose! It felt like you hit rock bottom and being piled with 50 feet of cow dung. It made me cynical about relationships. Back then I was like 'I've had my heart ripped out and it was fed to dogs - I have no time to hear about your-boyfriend-don't-want-to-answer-your-phone call problem'. Back then I thought I had experience the worst and no one could top what I had went through. I was an extreme pessimist and life was just bitter. Judging every lovey dovey couple was like a hobby to me.
But deep in my heart,every night I prayed for something that only Allah could hear. And I am so grateful he answered my prayers and I know I deserve it in some level. He sent me something that could make me shy all the time, something that I can never get bored of, something that I will always be excited to see and something that could shoot my heart to the moon and plant stars with it. I did not get it for Free though, I worked hard for it, took in a lot of patience and shed some tears for it, but in the end it was all worth it. And I am proud to say I love this thing, never stopped loving it.

It is for you..I mean every word :)

Baby, I see you workin' hard
Wanna let you know that I'm proud
Let you know I admire what you do
Don't know if I need to reassure you
My life would be purposeless without you
If I want it (you have it)
When I ask you (you provide it)
You inspire me to be better (ooh)
You challenge me for the better (ooh, ooh)
Sit back and let me pour out my love letter
Let me help you take off your shoes
Untie your shoe strings, take off your cufflinks
What you wanna eat, boo, let me feed you
Let me run your bath water
Whatever you desire, I'll aspire
Sing you a song, turn the game on
I'll brush your hair, help you put your do-rag on
Wanna foot rub, want a manicure
Baby, I'm yours
I wanna cater to you, boy

[chorus]
Let me cater to you
Cause baby, this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby, you blow me away
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
Just Let me cater to you

Inspire me from the heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
I wanna cater to you

Baby, I'm happy you're home
Let me hold you in my arms
I just wanna take the stress away from you
Making sure your that I'm doing my part
Boy, is there something you need me to do
If you want (I got it)
Just say the word I (I'm a try it)
I know whatever I'm not fulfillin'
Another woman is willing
I'm gonna fulfill you, mind, body and spirit
I promise ya, I keep myself up
Remain the same chick you fell in love with
I'll keep it tight, keep my figure right
I'll keep my hair fixed, rockin' the hottest outfits
When you come home late, tap me on my shoulder
I'll roll over
Baby, I heard you, I'm here to serve you
If it's love you need, to give it is my joy
All I wanna do
Is cater to you, boy

[chorus]
Let me cater to you
Cause baby, this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby, you blow me away
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
Just Let me cater to you

Inspire me from the heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
I wanna cater to you

I wanna give my breath, my strength, my will to be there
That's the least I can do, let me cater to you
Through the good, the bad (the bad), the ups and the downs
I'll still be here for you, let me cater to you
Cause you're beautiful (you're beautiful), I love the way you are (you are)
Fulfill your every desire, your wish is my command
I wanna cater to my man
Your heart, so pure, your love shines through
The darkness, we'll get through
(So much) so much of me is you (is you)
I wanna cater to my man

[chorus]
Let me cater to you
Cause baby, this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby, you blow me away
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
Just Let me cater to you

Inspire me from the heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
I wanna cater to you

Assalamualaikum my dear readers...

Well I have had a pretty relaxing weekend which is just so fabulous. My diet has 'broken' a little bit due to some particular trips I have been taking over the weekdays. Tomorrow being Monday it has to be strict now! The Darling is also on the program and already has his muscles bulging here and there, and now that he has his whey protein..he is now on his way to fabulous-ness, though he is already fabulous..to me that is :)

Watched 'Friday the 13th' with the Darling and I must rate this movie to be boring. It was not like the previous Jason movies where as a kid I would hide under the sheets scared out of my wits. Now every plot is so predictable. And Jason is not as scary as before. I seriously should have watched 'Night at the Museum II'. At least there would be something to laugh about. The Darling wanted to have a movie marathon to watch Night at the Museum II again after, and I was so excited for that short bit but then inda jadi hehe. Verdict: C-

But all in all it was a great weekend.and I could not be more happier :)

My Monday is going to be filled with my office work in the morning, running in the afternoon and updating and organizing my long overdue 'project' blog which will soon be officially published. A daily routined life shall sound boring but how you cherish your day is what makes it interesting. And being grateful for everyday and every good or bad thing that has happened is how one should appreciate their day. Avoid complaints that life should be better. Complaining does not do the trick. It is you, your dream, your effort and endless prayers that does the job. So dear people, have a great Monday. Don't suck in negativity to the first day of the week cause it is just going to ruin the rest of the days, be happy!

Dedicated to my dear beloved..it is weirdly romantic heheheheh

Miri.Trip.

2009-05-22T00:08:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Went down to Miri with the Darling and it was just the best time ever. We just went there to chill, eat and cruise around. Moments spent are just..cherish-able..

Our day started off with breakfast at Country Patch at 9.30am. After breakfast went straight to Miri and watching 'I Am Legend'. I purposely bought DVDs just so the Darling would not fall asleep in the car. And being a good boy that he is..he did not fall asleep :P Instead he was so chatty asking questions about the movie - 'atu kenapa tu?' 'lapas atu?' 'and then what happened?' - I was like aiyaaaaaa!! what is wrong with this boy??? di wayang nda pernah-pernah cemani - but it was great :)

Our agenda in Miri started off with lunch at Secret Recipe. To be honest, the food was not that great but the drinks and cakes were superb! The rest of our day was filled with jalan-jalan to pet shops and some shopping. Loves it!!

I just got news that a local has been confirmed positive infected with H1N1 flight from KL on the 19th May 2009. I am not sure of how true the fact is cause it from words of mouth but it is better to be safe than sorry. Nauzubillah eey penyakit ani. Jauh kan tiaaaaaaaaaaaaa. So people please do be careful who you mix with. When it is possible have a regular check up at the hospital for your own health. Sama-sama lah kitani berdoa supaya dijauhkan dari penyakit ani. Just talking about it gives me the jitters.

Star.Trek.

2009-05-17T00:42:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Watched Star Trek with the Mister. Ok. Hmm. Maybe because I am just not a huge fan of Star Trek during my childhood days and I was not able to understood the movie. I am just going to give a rest on my comments for this movie.

Took Tinkerbell home with me from the clinic. She is currently suffering from sore eyes and minor skin fungal which is actually serious since it could be infected to humans. So Tinkers is being quarantined for a few days before Daddy takes her back.

Lately I have been craving for scones. Specific scones. Scones from Fleur De Lys. Before picking up Tinkers at the clinic, the Mister and I went to have coffee and scones! which I was allowed only one. Alhamdulilah jua. Thank you darling. But another piece of the scone would be nice. :)

I am going to end my post with this song by Diana Ross and Westlife. It has been singing in my head. So enjoy peeps!

A birthday shout-out to my fabulously sarcastic yet witty cousin Abg Boy aka Shahiran Sheriffudin who is officially 30 today! Love you loads abg boy!! Stay sarcastic always! hehe

My.Polar.

2009-05-12T23:41:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I planned to hit the gym at sunrise but that went avail because the weather in the morning was oh-so-nyaman! It was like abis hujan...owwwh heaven to stay in bed at that time! So yea woke up at 9ish, had my protein drink and went to gym around 10am. Didn't go to the office today because I already slaved myself in the office the whole day yesterday. So today relax sikit :)

Started with the threadmill. I had my new Polar heart rate watch and strap, and I could monitor my precise heart rate. It is actually cool to be able to monitor your work out progress, gives more motivation.

Meet up with the Mister for coffee in the afternoon. So yea when he came his face looked so bloosomly cheerful, well he is always cheerful but it just looks different. Sat down cit cat a bit and he blurted out how he relieved he is that his examinations is now over. No wondeeeeeer cerah dan ceria selalu usulnya. hehehehe. Then I showed him my workout summary from the Polar watch and to my surprise, well his surprise actually, I have a stronger heart rate then him. My heart rate reached up to 190bpm where he only reached 180bpm and the Polar don't lie :P I don't know how great it is to have a high heart rate, maybe it just shows I am a better runner than him - I don't know hehehe Sorry darling just joking :)

Looking forward to the weekend - We're going to watch Star Trek :) By the way is it really that good? Let us wait and see ..... I thought I would like to share the graphic below with you kind readers, just for fun .. I find it really funny hehehe

Another.Lovely.Weekend.

2009-05-11T00:14:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I just had another lovely weekend. So far my weekends has been lovely and I could not ask for anymore better, it is just a munificent of happiness.

Well, I am sure everybody or anybody has gone to a minor or major heartbreak before. Some could pass on, find replacements and live their life. Some hold on to their anger, be revengeful and hateful. And some Learn from the dark history and treat life to the better. But not all people can be strong surviving from it, even though they may seem to be a Hercules on the exterior.

Patience is the word I have been learning to live on for the past year and now, it has given me the best gift I have ever asked for. Something that I think of every single night before going to sleep, the reason that my day would be better, opened up my eyes to see there is a better person inside of me that I have not unleashed and the one that I mention in my prayers every single day to always be cherished and be laid on a bed of endless wealth and health for the rest of the person's life.

I am going to end my post at this. Enjoy your beautiful Monday :)

Special Post : Happy Birthday to Dk. Adawiyah :) Loves you lai!!!

Happy.Mothers'.Day.

2009-05-10T01:08:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Yes to all you mothers out there "Happy Mothers' Day". Today, the world is reminded how great you mothers all are. And with this I would say some words of appreciation to my dear mother Saadiah Md. Yussof - 'Well I know you might not be reading this, but I am just going to say it anyway. I love you. You're the best there is and nothing can come close to how great you are'.

~mummy <3~

Had a late dinner with the Mister and A'ai at Syabu Syabu. I am on the health point program, I am controlling my carbo intake but my eating schedule is just terrible! Not to worry, Friday till Sunday is the preparation day and Monday is the 'jump start' day. And now I have my new Polar heart rate meter/watch. Thanks to the Mister for picking it up :) It's Red Berry and it is fantastic. We both have the fabulous Adidas Adizero running shoes and now we both have Polar watches, though mine is not as fancy as the Mister's :P

To all the mummies..and especially my mummy :)

2009-05-07T00:13:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Well, it has been an eventful evening for me until a few moments ago. 'Coincidence' is a common thing to have here - to know people or hear stories about people from a random someone. Being a small population and everybody knows everybody and all, I don't think it is a coincidence. You just met the right people, at the right time and at the right place.

I just found some, well 'a' disturbing story about a particular somebody which made me feel, I don't know..betrayed? Maybe betrayed is a huge word for it. But for sure it made me feel so uneasy, deep deep deep inside. I trusted this person. Never a single doubt. But when a third person tells you a random something, which she/he may not know it would bother you, but it actually does, the 'trust' is suppressed further down to a freezing point where you don't actually know what to feel.

I have been holding on to 'sometimes it's best not to know' - now that I know, I seriously wish I could still hold on to that pillar of mine. *sigh*

This song has made so cheerful in the office which leads to a productive way of work. Hope it will cheer you up too :) Enjoy :)

Tinkerbell. <3

2009-05-04T23:22:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

The arrival of little Tinkerbell for sure brightens up the Mister's afternoon. Initially I was not 'invited' to pick up Tinks (Boo! to the mister :P) - well for obvious reasons though, one - it was just 10 minutes drive from the Mister's place to the place where we're suppose to pick up Tinkers, secondly of course when I join I would obviously want to singgah here and there, and the Mister needs to do his revision. But thankfully the Mister had a change of heart and we went to pick up Tinkers together <3

Tinkerbell is so cute and a very shy kitten with a very fierce and innocent look all in one. She was quiet as well but the best part was she was very teranah in the car. It was just a waste of time that the Mister brought along the HUGE cat cage. We took Tinkers for a quick spin in the area, well that is to buy Lamb doner for the Mister and eye drops for Tinkers herself. The Mister could not get over Tinker's cute 'socks'. It is funny how in a matter of a short time the Mister and I could develop that special feeling towards the little feline...loves it! Well....we decide that Tinkerbell is going to stay with the daddy and daddy is a very uptight and detailed person (everything has to be in the best quality :P) .. and I am pretty sure Tinkers will be in good caring hands :)

Tinks teranah on mummy's lap

Kitten with 'mittens' :)

Officially on the Health Pointe program tomorrow
- so I can have the energy to chase around Tinks *winks*

I don't know any kitty cat songs except for this one by Phoebe F.R.I.E.N.D.S .. not that Tinkerbell is smelly hehehe Enjoy peeps!!

My.Lovely.Weekend.

2009-05-03T23:01:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Well, it has been a lovely weekend for me spent with the mister. Our little baby "Tinkerbell" will be coming home tomorrow and will be staying with the daddy, apparently. Don't be getting any wrong ideas - "Tinkerbell" is this baby kitten with cute distinctive features that the Mister just fell in love with. So 'we' decide to pay half and half for the kitten, and the living situation is to be advised when the kitten arrives. But now it seems like daddy will be taking full custody of it. hehehe.

Tinks! With the white moustache
and socks :)

Saturday night - Had dinner with the mister in conjunction of the big 13 *smiles*. Then we went to watch "Wolverine". Ok, I had never been a huge fan of these comics type of movies, but this is Hugh Jackman and the story line I could say was OK - more on the positive side. Hugh was even pretty sexy in the movie, with the body..drools! There was also this character 'John Wraith' which initally I thought was Wyclef Jean. Now that I googled it, it was actually 'Will.I.Am'! I am bad with faces and they look really similar :P Oh yea, I love the character of Logan@Wolverine's girlfriend - Kayla Silverfox. She posses the power of 'persuasion'. Come on ladies, wouldn't we love to have that??? :) Verdict: B+

I was able to meet up Roshni - my mentor, late night after the movies. She is here for a seminar which was held today at Rizqun International Hotel. It was my first time meeting her and she was just, as they say she was, brilliant! I love the way she talks, sexy and confident. Her figure is fit and on the way to mid-fourties, she was just fabulous. She gave me a lot of tips and advised me to be on the health point program, which I will be starting tomorrow.
*crosses fingers*

Myself with the fabulous Roshni

Group photo!!

After the seminar, went to have a relaxing moment with the mister at Zen Spa. Later on, we went to have dinner at this new steamboat place 'Syabu Syabu' (i hope i got the spelling right) and it was delisch! Being a huge fan of steamboat myself, I just simply love it! Seems like they will be seeing a lot of us in the next few weeks - the mister quote hehe

This song came on the air when the mister and I was cruising around last Saturday night. It used to be a cruising song for an old friend of mine and I back in the days -
when we use to cruise a lot :P So enjoy it now peeps!! :)

Run.Like.The.Wind!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Well I have my roast lamb in the oven which I roast for about an hour then I switch it off and sambung balik esuk cause it was already 10pm and it is a 3-hour roast. I was trying on anakbrunei.org's winning recipe for the Foodie Bloggers Challenge since I am so keen on cooking and baking nowadays. Though it has only been in the oven for an hour or so..fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu the smell was..superb! So nyaman smelling that I sliced myself a small bit..and it just melted in my mouth. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

Bought my new Adidas Adizero Running shoes today!! NJ7 bought his last week and he is raving about it. I always complained how my feet hurts when I run. I was running with training shoes plus much of the unwanted access weight :P I didn't know anything about sports or gym back then until NJ7 "motivate" me to it. Before I just jog and naik bukit. With my new running shoes I was able to run a few kms hehe :) And also I bought my new head band which I sooooo really need it as I sweat a lot in my face. Padih lagi tu bila masuk ke mata. Now my vision is not 'compromised' hehehe Coolies!! Now I need a heart rate meter..so badly!

The black bit is red in mine..cool innit??!

My new 'project' will be up and about soon...:) Soon yea..soon :)

Happy.Birthday.Juana.

2009-04-23T00:39:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Before I start I would like to give a birthday shout-out to my sister in law, Dk.Siti Juana whose birthday is today. She's the big "27" this year. For the moment seperti biasa "tiada hadiah yang dapat diberikan selain doa supaya dipanjangkan umur, sihat sejahtera dan dimurahkan rezeki selalu". I couldn't figure out what to get her for her birthday. hehe. For the past few years, and recent ones, I just realised it is really hard to get gifts for the people that are close to you because you figured out they already have everything. Same goes for my brother. I didn't get him anything for his birthday because I figured out he already has everything and practically more than one could want or need. So Doa yang se-ikhlas nya lah saja dapat di berikan until I see a "face" on something that would be a good gift. And "seeing faces on gifts" usually happens when you're overseas shopping :S Hmmm..that gives me an idea. Ting!

My sister-in-law and I
"Happy Birthday"

This afternoon, well yesterday afternoon, I felt really really restless. I didn't have the energy to go to the gym for my training in the morning, but will definately go tomorrow. So in the afternoon I was trying to make home-made apple crumble. I got the receipe from the internet of course and changed it a little bit here and there, which I think I'm entitiled to name it my own and I'm going to call it "NJ Apple Crumble" :) It has a crust which seemed hard but actually crunchy and mouth watering with soft sweet apple filling inside, just like NJ! Add vanilla ice cream and your taste buds are good to go!

Before
(before it goes to the oven)

After

I have planned the rest of my weeks and month and I am keeping myself busy with the upcoming new contract and my business project which has been on hold for a while. Let's make a promise - This year will be a good year!! Amin!!!

I want to get away for a few days, something over the weekend. Somebody take me away and bring me back home safe. I want to go relax and shop for gifts and for myself. I am visualizing a nice beach resort with shopping town just down the road...

Another.Sunday.

2009-04-19T23:57:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So the weekend. No weddings to attend this week, so my lazy Sunday was occupied with sleeping in the afternoon. Had a quick dim sum breakfast with NJ. Went back to spend time with the family watching the AF re-run and the wonderful day goes on with sleeping in my cozy bed.
The evening continued with sushi with NJ at our routine place and roaming around QLap and Yayasan looking for the perfect running shoes. My running VD :)

So yea, last night I mentioned about the movie that we watched, and by we that is NJ, myself, PiPs988 and Valentino Rossi at the Mall Cineplex. The reviews about the movies was off the charts which made me so excited to watch it. It was membari terkajut like crazy but towards the end of the movie the I lost the thrill. But there was one particular scene where NJ and I jumped out off our skin! It was really unexpected! Hehe I was expecting it would end with a huge 'ai gila berijab eh!!!' but it was a so-so. Storyline was great. I just didn't see it coming but the ghost..no comment. I still stand with my Verdict C but it still won't break my interest to continue to watch more and more horror movies. Any good one coming up do let me know ;)

Supposely next week would be the Ladies Outing but I couldn't make it due to prior plans, so organizer - change of date please.

This is to start off your week! Rock your day like a hurricane! So enjoy it peeps!! Hugs :)

Scary?

2009-04-19T01:15:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

So yea I watched one of the most talked about scary movies second from 'jangan tegur' that is 'coming soon' - a thai horror movie. Ok..I should say that I was 'terkajut' in most of the scenes but scary..it was scary but not THAT scary. I could say it's one of the best bari-terkajut movies..but the scariest? I have to disagree. Verdict C.

What I want to do..go to the beach and dip my feet into the sea!!

Brownie.Week.

2009-04-17T22:30:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

The past few days I have been baking brownies, everyday! I can never seem to get it right! Yesterday I made a batch, it was quite OK with an 80% success rate. I love to bake and I seldom-ly fail to achieve a good rate on it, except for the occasional burning of the top bit, as what happened to NJ7's birthday cake hehe. This afternoon I made another batch of fudge brownies for NJ and apparently he liked it :S I'm not sure if it was an obligation for him to like it hehe but yea he said he liked it so I decide to call it NJ Fudge Brownies!!!

I was having steamboat dinner with PiPs988 and Valentino Rossi at Berrywan. Stories were exchanged and the topic of this particular couple came to the table. I just wish them the best in everything, that's all, and I mean it.

"Nya durang" (inside joke) the movie "Coming Soon" is a must watch and it is under my favourite genre - HORROR!! I've heard good reviews about it and one of em' even said it's the best horror movie ever. Bari iski jua kan meliat tu. And one even said it's a must watch. Hopefully my movie-partner could make it. It's just not the same with out him. So yea..looking forward to "Coming Soon"!! :)

Wednesday.Morning.

2009-04-15T04:48:00.014+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It's 4.50am and I am still wide awake. I spent my early night watching marathon of Jennifer Lopez's movies. Well, I am suppose to be knackered by then as I spent the whole day clearing stuff in my office and also 'spring cleaning' it, trying to give it a new aura and a fun place to work in. I was done by 8.30pm and then my mum took us for dinner to the near by nasi ayam restaurant. Not bad shall I say the rice. When we got home I spend an hour or so in my mum's room watching TV and hopefully when I return to my room I will be able to take a quick shower, turn on the TV (it's my sleeping remedy :P) and immediately doze off. But no. My sleep was deprived by 'Shall We Dance' and I must say it is a really an entertaining movie. My attention was really caught with the scene where Paulina and Mr.Clark practiced for the last time before competition. It was a pretty hot steamy dance but yet sexy and classy. I love the song they danced to. I love the bass though. It is really a sexy number that I download it immediately. Choleric!

Try to hear and get the feel of the bass (or whatever it's called)

Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! Hmmm with all of this 'being awake' in the middle of the night, I was thinking how nice it would be to get a call just to have your voice heard (by someone special of course), or being missed, whichever would be nice right now. hehe.

Recapping last week. NJ7's surprise party on the 9/4/2009!!! Weeks and weeks of planning with his friends and mine as well, to make Mr. NJ's silver jubilee a memorable event and it was a success, unless he's faking it sniffing some suspicion but his expression was priceless when he walked in my kitchen to find his friends,cousin, sister and brother and Ms.Crab the 'floor manager' screaming Happy Birthday!!!! Thank you to everyone involved for making the event a night to remember for NJ7 - my very own V.D. :)

The next night we watched the most talked about "jangan tegur". We were planning to watch it with the surprise-zers after the party but it was full. We watched it the next day with A'ai, PiPs988, Valentino Rossi and the Boos. It was an OK movie. Berijab tu adalah..but mainly caused by the sound effects. And it won't stop me from watching more and more cerita hantusss heheh favourite kali ah. Verdict: B-

And last Sunday, spent the whole day with NJ7 cat-hunting and ended our tiring day with a relaxing massage at Zen Spa..aaaaaaaaaah so niceeeee :)

The b'day cake I baked from scratch
(but bawahnya angus hehe sowieee)

NJ's friends signing him a card- sweet heheh

Surpriseeeeeeee!

Group photo!!

Trying to call the cinema
for the 100th time

Alas! Happy birthday dude!

Happy.Birthday.NJ7

2009-04-07T23:45:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Yes, it's sexy man NJ7 25th birthday. Well, Mr.NJ7..the big 2-5. I must say by this age he had accomplished a lot. He made all the necessary changes he needs to make to improve his life to the better and now marking it at this age, all I can say I am proud of him, really proud. He is one of the men that is in my life that I really respect. He amazes me in ways I never expect. His presence just exerts a blissful aura..and I would love to have him around...now..evermore.

The Birthday Boy :)

Taken exactly a year ago on NJ7's 24th
yes..we were both "healthy" back then :P

NJ7's pre-birthday and birthday celebration was on the mild end this year. Pre-birthday which was on the 6th started off with NJ's new haircut which I find so breath-takingly sexy and dinner where I gave him his present. The look at his face when he opened his present was priceless :) I'm glad he loved the present. Then lunch on his birthday and dinner. And thanks for the dinner daling :) With the haircut you are my sexy version of V.D heheheh

Below are the cupcakes from Taste On Tray - NJ7's treat to his classmates. The cuppies are desgined with some of NJ7's favourite brands and it is deliscccccch :) Do click on for more designs from TOTs :)

This afternoon I was craving for Brownies after seeing a Syaz's brownies on someone's blog. I straight away texted her to make an order and it will be ready this Saturday! Can't wait! Yes, I can't wait that I tried to make my own. I can say it's alright for a first attempt. In the midst of waiting for the brownie to bake, Shasya who was playing around the kitchen suddenly shut quiet and rubbing her face. I called for her and when she look up at me her face was all swollen and red! The eyeballs were even swollen! She has allergies for eggs and seafood but at that time she wasn't eating anything, just running around making a mess of everything. She called for me and said 'yey..tal' (yey is what she call me and 'tal' is gatal). I picked her up and she started rubbing her face to my shirt. I quickly gave her antihistime and rushed her to the clinic. The good thing was she was not crying at all, just rubbing her face non-stop. We were in a rush that we didn't even have time to bring her 'nenen' and shoes!

The poor munchkin :(

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Before I start I would like to post a birthday shout to my long time girlfriend Ms.Liana Radzak whose birthday is today! 25 :) Yup this is our silver jubilee. Liana and I went waaaaaaaaaaaaay back. Back when we were in MS. She was one of my close-est and best-est (apakan hehe) girlfriends back in those days. We went through a lot together. Losing friends, boyfriends (bluergh! vomit!) ... we were really close. Now that we're all grown up..well.. we are all grown up :) Have fun in KL love!

Stay fabulous babe!

I am just so excited about blogging tonight cause I just watched Fast and Furious 4 and L.O.V.E it! I have loved Vin Diesel back when he did Fast&Furious1.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I have been trying to find the singer of the song that has 'dat da da da' in the lyrics. It sounded like the soundtrack of a korean series but the singer is malay. One time I was talking to PiPs988 on the phone and when the song was on air I straight away screamed 'eh tau ko lagu siapa ni??"..response I got from the Ms.PiPsy was 'lawa jua lagu nya atu..sapa banar'..nada harapan.. So yesterday afternoon I was chatting with her and the song came on and she suggested I go online to the chatroom and ask the dj, and finally I know who! Thanks PiPs988 for downloading it and the constant nudge ;) The least I could repay you is to show that 'video' that you like so much hehehe

So yesterday afternoon after work PiPs988 came by to my house to look at some Ariani and Munawarrah tudong that is on sale. I'm getting the hang of the tudongs now. It's so uncomplicated like before. Siiip! Masuk tarus! The most tia lagi. I'm selling it on behalf of a young and rising entreprenuer aizeey! and I have a few more left so anyone interested do let me know.

After looking at the tudongs and updating eachother with all our backdated stories, batah udah nda berjumpa..manakan..we went to have dinner at our so called 'budget place' but we were trying out a new gerai. This was our menu for the night: Ikan Talapia Panggang, Pari Panggang, Baby Kailan, Ayam Goreng and Lidah Masak Mushroom sauce, drinks Kasturi Ping, Watermelon juice, Coke and glasses of cold water, two bowl of white rice that was barely touched though..kurangkan carbs tapi yang lain nauzubillah heheh Anyways our 'feast' that night cost us B$16.00 each! Which makes the whole dinner a mere B$32.00! Isn't that crazy??! We didn't even take pictures..lapar sudah..and in the end 'Alhamdulilah' :)

Monday.Love.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Well last weekend was an 'end' attending weddings. It's just 'wedding' to be exact. You know lah banyak acara kawin, berbadak lah, nikah lah, mengantar berian tia..so macam banyak saja usulnya. It was my sister in law's brother si Tupoi's wedding. Anyways congratulations to the newly weds. I would like to post some pictures from the wedding but there's something wrong with the memory card reader on this laptop. Have to use the other laptop and then transfer here.. berkeraja ulehnya..nanti lah.

Yesterday had a semi relaxation moment with NJ7 where we went to have the back and reflexology massage. I wanted to go for the hot stone massage, tempted to, but nda apa lah next time ja. Still tempting...hmmm

And Saturday was 'earth hour' day. I didn't get to witness any of the temporary blackout in any areas of the country. I was telling my dad about it, then ada kami lintasi this bangunan and my dad went 'ani blackout jua dorang ni'..bangunan yang alum berapa siap..yang andang inda berkaran..inda pedah-pedah. So 'earth hour' is actually an awareness started by the WWF - Worlf Wildlife Fund to demonstrate their growing concern over climate change by switching off the lights for one hour. It was stated that the saturday event of the different time zones proved that there was a one degree difference in the climate in that one particular hour. Isn't that a wow? Switching off your lights for one hour made a difference in our global temperature. For more information go to www.earthhour.org

Fabulosity!

"To.Die.For" Chocolate.Cake.

2009-03-21T22:04:00.006+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Hmm and again it has been a while. It's Saturday night and I am spending my weekend at home with ROME, honey mask facial and to-die-for chocolate cake, fyi baked it from scratch. NJ7 is away on a holiday with the family. Well he deserves some time off, he deserves it well.

I was browsing through some chocolate cake recipe on the net, trying to bake, well practice to bake a cake for some special event upcoming. I found this one particular recipe that caught my attention, to be exact it was the name of the cake that caught my attention. So went shopping with the big daddy for the stuff and I must say the groceries cost more than buying a normal cake. Bisai pulang membali bah banar. But the heck, I love baking!

So biasalah at home my partner to do the baking would be my sister-in-law. She will do half of the recipe and I will do the other half and that would make the kitchen to be a total mess! Kami budak baru belajar hahaha So the preparing took about 20-30minutes and the baking of the cake took about 50minutes. The longest was applying the frosting on the cake which was done by my brother. We wanted to make the cake as perfect as possible, for newbies, and I think would get a "B" :) Then my sister-in-law and I were talking about making the cake to be this and that, mummy went "basar angan-angan kamu atu..buat dulu" hehehehe boring :P

The masterpiece just out
from the oven

Before the frosting

Voila!!!

Selamat.Menyambut.Maulidur.Rasul. :)

Assalamualikum my dear readers,

Today the country is celebrating, and all the Islamic countries in the world of course, the birth of Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. When I was younger, when I questioned what is maulud nabi, the people around me would explain it as 'birthday nabi muhammad' and I would be like 'oooh..ada cake tah tu?' hahaha I still remember saying that.

Today is also Hana Sofeeya's birthday celebration. Her birthday actually falls on the 7th March but maybe HS kan ngambil berkat of the maulidur rasul to celebrate her cute daughter's birthday today. I dropped by with Shasya which earlier I asked Shasya to sleep but she didn't want to and fell asleep on the way to HS's house. But I just have to wake her up. Kesian plang to wake up a sleeping baby, which inda sampai 10minute tidurnya..but cana tah jua..I should've bring along the maid. Shaysa apatah lagi, she was so excited to see a lot of kids running around and the bouncers. Hilang kalat matanya tarus.

Hana: 'shasya watchu do???'

It's all mine!!!

Last night I went to watch the match between DPMM Fc versus WOODLANDS WELLINGTON Fc at the National Stadium in Berakas with my bro, my sis-in-law, Amlir, Jul and Eddy. The crowd was pretty good but the stadium wasn't that full. Even the game was a pretty good game where DPMM Fc defeated WW Fc 2-1. But what I didn't like was the attidude of some of the crowd. In the second half, there was an exchange for the Woodlands where the substitute player's hand handicapped to the elbow. I assume he was an exchange because I didn't really notice him in the first half, and it was pouring rain and we were struggling under my small umbrella. I was really dissapointed with some of the crowd where they were insulting the player's shortcomings. What I couldn't understand was some of the other people even find it funny. Come on, it's just a game. And the player must be that good that even being handicapped he still can play for the team. He was actually really good. Come on lah people, try to draw a THICK line for being fanatics and plain spiteful because screaming unplesantary comments to a handicap is just unhuman.

Watchmen.Not.To.Watch.

2009-03-06T23:13:00.005+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I am a HUGE fan of movies and I just love going to the cinema,always have and always will, until last night. NJ7, A'Ai and I watched Watchmen which I had no idea of what the movie was all about. I came in a little late, like 5 minutes late cause I was waiting for our food and apparently I didn't miss much. For the first 10 minutes, I had a hard time trying to understand what the movie was all about. It was about Super heroes yes, the title says Watchmen, but a whole lot of names came up like The Comedian (that's all I can remember :p) and on the 20th minutes I was already lost. By the 35th minutes I whispered to NJ7 'boring kan?' and then we just left. The movie was 2hrs 45minustes long! Macam Titanic! Bisai pulang meliat Titanic!!! Bari menangis lagi..sometimes :P

After the 45-minute movie we went for steamboat and bumped in the Boos! RemyBoo ani menggambar-gambar tia ganya rupanya telipun baru kali ahhhh..crazyyyyyyy hahahah NJ7, A'Ai and I went for steamboat last week and it took about a week to recover my burnt tongue. Last night I was doing well and the last bit where I burned my tongue on a small piece of white egg! Seminggu lagi ni..damn! hahaha I grabbed the pictures below from RemyBoo's facebook that was taken with her new phone hahahha

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Internet at home has been..urgh!! I couldn't go online since yesterday! I really feel like screaming to somebody about it. Tried calling their customer care but there was no answer. I was on hold for 5-6minutes..5times! Luckily a very good friend of mine passed my complaint through and I just can't wait for the feedback. Very effecient my friend that is. Mudahan you jadi pengarah sana. Amin hehehe.

I have promised myself this year will be better than last year and I will hang on to it. Ever since being a resident to the gym, I've befriended the treadmill which helped me a lot not only on physical matters :P but also mental and emotional related. They say you get your best ideas when you're exercising and now I start to believe in that 'mythology'. Once you get the hang of running without shortness of breath, which I had ''suffered'' before, there is not limit to what your brain can generate. Time to get plans in action!

And yes, what ever happen to 'privacy' of certain individuals when they fill in a form giving out personal details. Should that detail be passed out when a certain person asked for a phone number or address? Isn't that invasion of privacy? Isn't the man 'man' enough to ask the number himself instead of going to the reception. Seriously to me it is very disturbing where recently I've encountered the unfortunate incident. Some may find it sweet but to me it is .. un-man-ly.

Yesterday I finally got the chance to visit my dear cousin Ayu and her new baby, which is now 2 months old. Hehehe. Sorry laaai..sibuk. Though we live like 2 minutes away. Her baby is named 'Gary 'something' Islam' - I totally forgot what was his middle name. I was just thrown off that she could combine an english name and Islam together. The little bubble is so adorable! And this one looks like the father. Her first, Adrian Isa looks totally like her! And gauk as ever! I brought Shasya along with my sister in law and the house was just filled with kids screaming and my other niece Myzah yelling 'let's rock and roll!' and counting 1-2-3 in Spanish. Myrah the quiet one was still quiet yes, but yesterday was like the first time I ever saw her smile, selalu marung saja hehehe. But it was fun to catch up with my aunt, Ayu and my nieces and nephews. Back when we we little, Ayu and I, well our families used to live together at my late grandfather's house. So many memories with her, all the fun and mostly funny memories. Now that she's married I thought she might have changed to the boring mmmy type but no no no..still maintaing her whackyness! And I love her for it! :)

Clueless.Monday.

2009-03-02T23:09:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

My blog has been on a minor hiatus..i know. My time has been pre-occupied with going to the gym and trying to sleep as early as possible to wake early to go to the gym, in the afternoons will be filled with doing cardio at the gym, so to break it down my days has been filled with gym gym gym.
Some people when they are under pressure or stressed, they eat, over-eat, don't eat at all. I think this is my alternative. Plus I have a goal to shed over some kgs till April.

Besides being a permanent resident at the gym, my days so far, well, shall I say, hasn't been the same? It's just a mix of joy and sorrow, and the combination of both is what that makes my day.
I have a lot of things planned but it has just been going slow. But I know I can do it. I just need to organize my 'plans' better I assume. I can't cramp everything in one year. Well at least I'm keeping one of my new year's resolutions on track - going to the gym! :P I have a lot of soul searching to do. Sounds a bit sad. Maybe I just need to be more well organized hehe. Waking up before 6am is a good start with my organizing, but now is the managing. No matter how early I wake I will always be at least 5-10minutes late for my training. I have very bad time management. But the later I come the quicker I will always finish my training. Maybe that's the pay off - I work better with limits. hehe. Whatever it is being on time is very important.

Back in my teens days I was such a huge fan of magazines. I mean, I read them all the time. I remembered someone asked me why I like magazines so much, I answered 'because there's alot of stories and most of the infos are applicable, like how to make your own moisturizer or how to make your own home spa, rather than a newspaper' hahah now when I think of it, it's really a silly answer. hehehe. Anyways, after my gym-ing this morning, I stopped by the bookstore and I was able to get hold of two magazines that I'm always a huge fan of which I haven't purchased in months, maybe a year or so. Now that I am 'old' enough, the magazines are like..hmmm 'unnecessary luxuries'? But the heck! I still love reading em!

I was reading this section about relationships (my all time favourite section) and I find this particular article quite interesthing which I would like to share with the women out there.
The new attidude that drives men wild - it states that some women have a man-magnet qualities and they're not the same as ones before. Being ballsy and comfortable with one self, who is self assured is actually a BIG turn-on. Another part is appearing anything but needy since clingyness can set off a dude's internal radar within seconds. But some guys actually like girls being clingy on them, some say makes them feel more of man - eww! Anyhows, appearing 'strong' on the outside can create a mysterious come-hither vibe which subconciously rattles guys and makes them notice. Simply put, now ladies pay attention to this -showing a bit of "I like you..but I COULD live without you" attidude is intriguing to men. Hmmm..interesthing right. Thirdly is the component of the women when she turns herself into a prize that worth seeking but not maintaing a you-can't-touch-this vibe too long cause you'll might just drive him away. A woman who can mix equal parts confidence and openness and making it clear that you're up for anything who enjoys the company of men will just make the men sticker. - Well this is the summary of the article which I edit here and there and put in some adjoining words to make the sentence shorter but basically all the information are here. Hope you'll find it useful! :)

My horoscope this month: Virgo
Bust a move. Go dancing under fun-loving Jupiter after 15th. Single? You finally get fed up with the flaky guy you've been seeing. There's someone better around the corner. Attached? Have a talk when uptight Uranus creates tension around the 25th.

FYI - I don't believe in horoscopes :P hehe

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Before I start, I would like to wish a Happy 25th National Day to the nation and people of Brunei. So it has been 25 years since Brunei gained its independence..that's like my age! I'm an anak merdeka..as what they call it hehe I didn't get to watch the parade but I heard good reviews about it. It's so hard nada channel brunei in my room.

Anyways..last Sunday had a last minute lunch with HS at CheezBox. Hehehe. Only HS would understand why it was a 'last-minute' thing. Thanks for the attendance babe. But it was no regret because that was the time when I discovered the oh-so-swell grilled salmon with caviar sauce at CheezBox. I've never enjoyed salmon that much before. Hmm now my tummy is growling. HS even discovered her new resolution..well more like a profound habit than a resolution, so watch out for HS2009 hahaha

That evening I was able to caught up with my all time hobby - the movies.. with NJ7 and A'ai. We watched "Valkyrie" and I should rate the movie a verdict: A. I had the chills when I watched it. I found it to be..scary? Just because it was based on true facts. I actually imagined how it would be to be in the era. Scarrrrrry.

Oh yes, when we were at the movies we bumped into the this infamous couple which I'm just going to leave at that. hahaha. Shall I say kinky? Or just pure 'bluergh!'. hehehe

National's day, had ambuyat lunching with the ladies and their respective partners in conjunction of Zakiah's belated birthday celebration. After lunch we went to the mall to watch 'Valkyrie', and it would be 'again' for me, and PiPs988 as well. After the movies, PiPs988, myself, ~N~ and ~W~ went to CheezBox, and of course I had the salmon again. Hahaha. Two things twice in a day, that is less than 24 hours hahah Then there at Cheezbox we were google-ing Valkyrie, the SS, Hitler and the history of Germany for about an hour or so! If only there was Wikipedia back in my days, I would have excelled my History! :P

Seriously..what do you think? Crazy???????? Yea!!!!!

Long.Overdue.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

My oh my, has it been a while! Sorry to keep the site on hiatus but I have been pretty busy lately with work and personal events. Just a few days ago I was hit by a fever which made my temperature to rise up to 39.8c! My project has been on hold. I was overwhelmed with the work load of 'choosing'. So to my dear friends that I promised something..soon ah. And that means you HS *hugS*

I am still down with an itchy sore throat. So itchy that every time I cough it out it felt like that I am coughing my eyes out. But I am recovering slowly. My current daily events has been progressing with going to the gym as early as 6am for my training. It just feels great to start your day with some massive cardio and weight training. Target goal - April!

Let me recap some highlights that happened in my past few weeks. Well, there was that weekend where PiPs988 and I stayed at this particular 'cheap' hotel, here in Brunei that is. I wouldn't say that it is such a horrible experience..mmm I would say it is rather 'interesting' than horrible. The only horrible thing is the smell of the room! It smelt like toilet harpic or something. Even my toilet smells better! Waaaaaaaaaay better! The fun part of the night was observing how a certain group of Bruneians seek to have fun. With all these cheap hotels around, the certain teenagers here would be up to no good. For example some of the explicit videos that has been passed around in the phones. I was extremely shocked! And disgusted! Kids! Some of them are too young to be put in my imaginations to be doing such stuff.

We had a 'budget' dinner at our usual budget place and were able to fulfill our bellies with delicious food. Siasiapun. Hopefully we're able to do it again, and this time at a better hotel.

Last weekend was the oh-so-romantic Valentine's Day. Not that I have anything against it though. While people are coupling up having dinner and doing romantic stuff, I was having dinner with the family at our favourite seafood place where we had the lobster. I was able to cut my carbs down to half, on many occasions already. A pat on the back for me! :) And by 10.30pm I was already sound asleep.

NJ7, Mr. Jack of all trades, lend me this book for diet which has very good insights and how to diet and maintain a healthy physique and lifestyle. Soon lai ah I balikkan :)

I would like to share one of my all time favorite indonesian number :) It made me think of a certain someone on a certain occasion :) hehehe This song will definitely be at my ehem ehem :)

Enjoy :)

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Ok..Sunday..a day where functions were normally held, like marriages, tahlil, engagements and other sorts. Well PiPs988 and I, also the attendance of ~N~, got the chance to attend a function somewhere in Tutong.

It was the engagement of a very good friend of mine whose 'name' does not want to mentioned, but does want to be mentioned in general. It was supposed to be a surprise, though I suspected something but I was surprised yes, and partly happy, why I say partly was because I was realllllly hungry!!! Who can be happy when they're hungry - tell me. Hehehe but as soon as I filled my tummy with the delicious kuihs I was all excited for my dear friend. Hehehe. Lapar banar ku lai tanya si PiPs988 - alum kali ah kami makan dari pagi hehe Anyways all in all it was a function to remember. My dear friend deserves the happiness that was just given to her after all the series of heartbroken, this is your time babe. I pray for you all the happiness in the world.

PiPs988 and I were somehow the 'unofficial' photographers of the function. Not much me though. PiPs988 was capturing pictures from all different angles and I was just taking pictures from my angle. Hehehe.

After the function, PiPs988 and I went to have coffee in Gadong. And my oh my was it packed. From what I heard Gadong area just regained their electricity power yesterday. It's about time. We need some business going on in that area. The past few days Gadong area was like a ghost town. Creepy to see nobody around. We bumped into our personal trainer the sexy Zamah with her husband there. Can't wait to start my PT again!! :) During our ngupi session PiPs988 got to share some tips with me. Jangan lupa copy kan saya tu ahh!! Even better sms it!

It's raining now. It would be a good time to sleep early. Just hope that it wouldn't cause another flood cause it has been raining for more than 3 hours now. Mudahan saja inda banjir lagi.

PiPs988 : Now you know what to do just in case I got hungry on my engagement day hahaha (inside joke)

And to my friend who just got engaged : Selamat menempuhi alam pertunangan and now we can't wait for your wedding. I pray for you so you will always be blessed with eternal love and happiness. You deserve it babe. Love you! The song below is dedicated to you. I know you would
'understand' and love it! :) So will PiPs988 hehehe Enjoy!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I am sure you are all aware of the tragedy that hit our country recently. The biggest flood ever to hit Brunei. I was really shocked with the news. Alhamdulilah my area wasn't flooded as bad as Gadong and Qlap area, just the road in my area was slightly affected and not far from here near Bunut and Bengkurong was a massive landslide. I am sure all of these ada rahmat di sebaliknya. Nya urg tua-tua hujan ani rezeki..manatau Brunei will be 'rained' with rezeki yang berlipat kali ganda. And let's pray together that our country's prosperity. Amin.

The picture above was taken the day after the flood which was on Thursday. It was about 5pm. I was just keluar mengambil udara petang di dalam hujan renyai-renyai when I looked up the sky and saw this miraculous god's creation. I don't know about you guys but it was definitely the biggest that I ever saw.

This evening, Saturday night, I decided to stay in. It was still drizzling and I thought it would be safe to stay indoors. And being in-doors I decided to do something useful with my time - cook for the family!! It has been a while since I cooked for the family. It was good. I should be doing this more often, a good practice till I have to do it for my own family :) Tonight I decide to go for western, and my sis-in-law was helping out in the kitchen too. Initially we wanted to do a barbeque, but I don't know some how we ended roasting the whole thing. haha. So there was grilled lamb leg chops and chicken, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli,carrots and cauliflower, and thai-style Lobster - -well this one was a take out from one of the restaurants, of course..bila jua berlobster dirumah :P

Belows are pictures of Muslimah Shasya - these are 3 of the 100 shots hehe

Another.Happy.Outing.

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

It has been a 'happening' weekend. Some happy, some bari sasak, some ada urg hobby baru, some people got deceived hehe NJ7 was not available as he was away on a trip. Heard he had a blast. I hope he got the 'time' that he needed. Heheh

Anyways, my Saturday night started off, well it was a dress down night with PiPs988. No make-up, just jeans and sweaters and fancy flip flops. We had a casual 'budget' dinner at the Gerai but it was so oh fulfilling! We had the indomee 2 bungkus with the telor mata lembu & beef burger with cheese which we both shared of course :P, tongkeng seorang secucuk and the $3 sepiring Kailan Garlic sauce, and this was with no rice. Just remembering it back is making my tummy growling in hunger. The fantastic thing was everthing totalled up to B$10.00..normally our dine in there would be $7 but with the additional $3/piring Kailan garlic sauce..hmm hehe Who would think that you can feast like kings for B$10.00 - shared! Only in Brunei baby!
After dinner we went cruising trying to locate this 'power' couple but ended in avail. Nda apa lah, tak jumpa pun tak pe hehe :)

Sunday kicked off with lunching with the Ladies. Besides PiPs988 and ~N~, Dawi was the only one that was available to attend the outing. The other Ladies had prior agendas..not to worry, next time ;) Lunch started at the Arch where stories were shared with such agressive manner. Heheh bakal ganya kami 4 saja di sana. I just the love the Ladies talk, though one of us is already officially attached, we were able to still act like us, adults with limits, and that was the most fun of it. I hope we all can still spare a few hours of Ladies leisure when all of us are 'officially attached' :)

The rest of the afternoon was filled with Dawi melayan ketagih hobby baru nya to my new 'financially intelligenced' Nikon SLR - kamu-kamu saja paham ni hahahaha! Si PiPs988 dengan 'hot story' of the green fluorescent and ~N~ well im sorry to mention 'the lost camera'.
From Arch we went to Mall jalan-jalan, urg yang berhobby baru dengan hobby nya and a sudden crave for waffles that made us end up at Cheezbox. Cerita punya cerita we were there for almost 3 hours! Atu inda banyak ceritaaaa...entah ah! :P

From Cheezbox we went to have a 'look-see' to this house we dreamed to plan to rent. Make sure you're not confuse with that statement. Cari punya cari and it was a hugeee dissappointment! hahaha Nya si PiPs988 macam commercial building! And river view? Apa siring river nya ada rumah thailand atap zinc ah! hehehe Baik jua nda 'berque' ah heheh

To melayan 'urg punya hobby baru' we went to Tasek Lama. We arrived there at about 6pm and the place closes at 6.30pm. I am glad we came there at that time, kalau inda sampat tah kami ke ujung arah the waterfall and beranang tia kawan kali udah kami seorang atu rasa kan dapat a good shot of the waterfall with 'kabur-kabur' di belakang heheh (inside joke) Before adjourning our outing, we all went back to Arch to have a drink. And I am glad that we did! Besides we had to go back there 1) kereta kami paking semua sana 2) di Tasek tadi panas and we were karing leher so minum sekajap

Since I am working on a new project, I was happy that before ending our outing my Ladies gave me a lot of opinions and feedback regarding it. We spend the time brainstorming and ideas came in when you're in a good place, you're happy and surrounded by people and things you love.

Special thanks to NJ7 - thanks yo for the gift :) Loves it! You rock!

Assalamualaikum readers,

It is almost 2 weeks after new years (yea I'm counting!). This particular project has been in my head and made butterflies in my tummy ever since I thought of it. Kalah bercinta rasa nya :P So yea now, Monday - 1st day of the week, is a proper day to be implementing, planning and organizing the whole deal. I had finish my normal work load and now I can focus a little bit on my project.

Yesterday, the family and I attended a wedding in Bunut, my dear old kampung halaman. I am very much keen to be attending all these wedding functions, because nya urg tua-tua karang diri kawin nada urg kan ngagaie. Scary thought. Besides that it was nice to see all the relatives and distant relatives to be gathered in one area. Panas pulang ganya but all in all the food was great.

Then after the function, went out with mummy and shasya to get babah's birthday present. I know he is not reading this because everytime he needs to use the internet he will go 'lai, cari kan babah....' hehehe. So yea babs we got your birthday present already! :) I specificly chose you that present so after that I can borrow it. hehehe. Financial intelligence! Went to Bunut again to meet the grandmama and ia kan membagi kacang kuda jua. ehehe.

My craving for ebi tempura was still raging, so biasa my sushi partner in crime NJ7 lah teman ke sana. And he brought along AiAi :) Biasalah after sushi would be 'mocha latte' time.

A lot is happening next week and the weeks to come. Weddings, engagaments, my ladies outing, few meetings with people, only if my planner is here already *hint hint*

Anyways peeps, not much today but I hope you enjoyed your weekend :)

2009-01-11T01:15:00.008+08:00

Assalamualaikum readers..

As of today I am still obsessed with Hiroyuki Ikeuchi. I watched IP Man again with the family last night, even Shasya enjoyed the movie. She stayed up till the end, sudah last-last atu baru ia tidur.It was her first time to the cinema and surprisingly she was very well behaved. No nangis no tantrums. She is a huge fan of cartoons and action movies. I hope I'm not corrupting her mind. hehehe. But yeah she was being an angel tadi. Pass test! Boleh lagi bawa liat wayang.

Ganas right...

Sexy men + uniform
= speechless women

I am craving for sushi all of a sudden. Even though sushi is almost a daily to weekly thing, I am craving for prawn tempura and mini california maki. Hopefully my sushi buddy can make it tomorrow.

Sneakers is a new obsession of mine. I wore this sneakers I bought exactly a year ago few days back and that was the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn..ever!! I start browsing in ebay and I found this SODA plain old school white platform sneakers and I just love it! Spent the whole afternoon looking for sneakers online,instead of buat keraja hehehe. I have finalised my sneakers has to be WHITE either PLAIN or with GOLD or SILVER desgins and/or Adidias. Hmmm sapa belayar soon ah.....mummy!!!

Assalamualaikum my readers,

It has been 9 days since new years, and yes people, time still flies so fast. The next thing it will be another round of school holidays and then the next birthday, and the last thing you will realize is it is new year's eve again. Appreciate the time you have, fill with it with love and the things you want to do. There was a saying by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; what you can do, or dream you can do, begin it, Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Last night was just a typical Friday night. Hit the cinema with my partner in crime to the movies, fabulous NJ7 to watch Ip Man, where I was tricked that it was supposed to be a horror movie. But there was no regret. I loved the movie! IP Man is the celebrated Kung Fu master of Bruce Lee (where I was deceived again and lost to a bet :P). It is a semi biological account of 'Yip Man' - the fine martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun.
I admire the character of Ip Man played by Donnie Yan, very calm, patient and humble - all the good qualities of a man and perfect husband specimen. Since the movie The Covenant, this would be the second time I gawked at an actor on the silver screen. Oh General Miura played by Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, hands up - first japanese actor I have ever been attracted to! His eyes, his nose, lips, chin, body, oh my god! So sexy that I googled him the first thing when I got home. hahaha. Just like the younger days, masa kan tergila-gila kan artist.

I am working on a project at the moment and I am very determined to do it! Let's just wait, and see, and pray :)

Ip Man played by Donnie Yan
-not bad ey ;)

The last fight scene
-very intense

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

My days so far has been great and I am just loving this feeling. I want to get this momentum going on and on and on!

I seriously need a planner! My mom gave me the Lexus planner, had an extra and I decide to give it to NJ7 so we both can have a very well planned year ahead of us, supposedly. It is convenient and I love the caramel colour cover, it's huge but payah ah kan taruh keratas and stuff. It is very practical to be on the table saja. NJ7 claimed that it is heavy, tapi inda jua pernah bawa nya ke sekulah..kali heheh he is so cartoon. Anyways before that - Congrats NJ7! :) you know for what - I always believed in you and I know you can do it.

I was talking to this friend about the 3's of trading currency that we can control to make a good trader is :
1) when to enter trade
2) when to exit trade
3) the direction.

This friend replied with another set of 3's in life that we cannot control are:
1) Rezeki
2) Jodoh
3) Ajal/Maut

Good sets of 3's ey there people :)

Below are some of the pictures from my KK trip last December.

I am actually saddened with the Gaza strip incident that happened recently. To be honest I tried to avoid to hear the news as much as possible because I just couldn't bear to imagine the pain the Palestinians are facing. In my heart all I can do is pray for them. And I hope we can all do the same.

So remember readers, if you think your life is at the lowest right now, think again, how would you describe those who are struggling in dire straits in Gaza!.

Untuk tatapan semua - I hope you guys would enjoy this lovely track as much as I did ..by "Bob Marley - Is it Love" - it has be right ;)

I wanna love you every day and every night ~~~~~

Assalamualaikum My Dear Readers,

2009 is kicking in! I have my helmet and seat belt on and I am ready for the ride!

My new year start off was a pretty, subtle one this year ,dinner with the family, and after that getting 'free coffee' and cake and I just love it! Being 'mid-twenties' and a raging resolution burning in my soul, I was just not up for extreme celebration like the yester-years.

The start of the '09 was pretty normal. It was the huge no.9 for an established friendship I had and I just appreciate it so much. Life moves on :)

On the first day of the new year,I was able to do two of my favorite things - hang out with my girls and watch a movie! That afternoon was my baby cousin's, Aiman, 2nd birthday! I was guessing that a lot of people would be showering him with toys. I decided to give him something, well something personal, and I know people would appreciate it more. My present to him was TOT's mini cupcakes with his name on it. I didn't have my camera to show off the cuppies but do visit the page. It was really cute! Thanks ~N~ for the special delivery! :)

After Aiman's birthday party, caught up with the girls PiPs988 and ~N~ with ~W~ of course (sorry dude I made you sound like one of the girls hehehe) at Saffron. Special appearance of Dawi! The mantera lady! hahaha. I haven't seen her in quite a while! Biasa lah urg kawin sudah kan..sibuk tia kan mengambil unpaid leave saja hehehe After our hang out session, PiPs988 and I met up with NJ7 and AiAi to catch Bedtime Stories, and people you seriously need to watch this. It was cute and hilarious! NJ7, AiAi and I watched Yes Man again the day after, and both movies Verdict - A++

Good new year's start off ey :)

*please answer the poll on side when you don't notice
im doing a survey.. thank you :)

Recapping.

2008-12-26T23:39:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers..

4 more days till 2009. I had a time with myself recapping the last 12 months. My oh my does time fly so fast and next year I will be 25! I am excited for the new year, and at the same time a little nervous. Nervous whether things will be as good as it was, or it would turn out to the better. A friend recently quoted, 'people change' - but most of them to the worst. That is what I am afraid of. To me, one of the scariest thing I will ever face is losing the people that you once really love and cared about, though promises were made 'for eternity', and this is when the quote arise 'promises were meant to be broken'. That's just pure crap! True Muslims don't break their promise. :P

One of the other things that would scare me the most, is seeing somebody that once occupied a huge fragment of you in a melt down and you can't be the one to calm them down. I just hope I don't have to face any of the situation.

Ok now my dear readers. This may be my last post for the year and come back again next year!

Assalamualaikum my readers and enjoy your new year. :)

Merry.Xmas!

2008-12-25T23:50:00.010+08:00

Assalamualikum my dear readers,

First of all 'Merry Christmas' to all my christian friends and readers and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everybody! I have been away to K.K and Miri for the holidays, wowiee was it tiring! But it was alright. I had fun on both trips. Shopping! shopping! shopping! :)

Ok now..2009 is approaching and I have a lot of things planned for the big year. I remembered last year 2007 before the eve - I wished and prayed that this year would be a great year, and so far it turned out pretty well :) All the events, the people I met, I just couldn't ask for more. I hope and wish that this year's happiness will reflect to be next year's joy and bliss. Amin.

2.0.0.9 - this year I am very determined to take full benefit of the 365days - insha-allah. First two months of the year will be slow because the rest of the year's event will take proper planning. Leaving people behind for a while, will be something that is..very hard for me to do. But I got to do what I got to do. I get home sick easily! Ke miri pebaik lakas homesick heheh bida ah.

My 2009 plan

Get a planner!
(brown leather to be exact:P)

Learn how to sow

Learn sketching

Pay and cut off credit cards - Go debit!
(without daddy's help that is)

Go to the gym regularly!

Paris
(not for holidays that is)

Bring my parents umrah

And last but not least....

Hope to Love
No matter how many heart broken series
I have been through, I believe that
Love is for everybody and I will
have it one day :)

Happy.Holidays?

2008-12-15T15:50:00.008+08:00

Assalamualaikum my dear readers.

Just another Monday. My eyes has been watery since a few days ago, hope it is nothing serious.
The past week has been full of agendas. Some sad, some happy, some bowling. But hey, let us just look at it as another week and just look forward to coming days.

Last week I was able to catch two very hot movies of the month, and both verdict carries no less than C-.

Besides Keanu Reeves being ultra sexy in this number, I have to rate it as 'C-'. I was not actually expecting an alien movie until I saw the trailer. I thought it would be some kind of plague-attack-the-world kind of thing. Something like 'I am Legend'. I think I like 'I am Legend' better! At least I watched that movie more than twice. But this one - just so so.

Oh Twilight the most anticipated movie waited. I had never read the book before but I think I would be after this just to erase the movie out of my memory. To me the movie was slow and there was only one fight scene between the vampires. Boring jua tu. NJ7 quote 'siuk lagi Titanic kali eh!!', and guess what my sexy friend - Hollywood.com quote this movie as 'the most epic romance since Titanic' .. whoopps! hehehe But all in all I was looking forward to see the main actor of the movie, Edward Cullen @ Robert Pattison. Everybody was drooling over him and I just have to see it for myself. Ok lah saja ia ani. But he reminds me of James Dean - what do you think? If I were to rate sexy, sexy lagi Caleb @ Steven Strait in The Covenant. My god was he sexy! I watched it with Kiss, my brother and sister in law which at that time was about 8 months pregnant, inda jua mau tinggal kan. hehe. Steven Strait was so sexy in that movie, that Kiss and I got jealous when he was doing a kissing scene. Not only us, even my sister in law was jealous! hahaha sexy banar jua udah tu hehe Verdict for Twilight: C - and this I'm being nice just because James @ Cam Gigandet was utterly sexy here too. hehehe

I have to admit he is sexy here,
but doesn't he look like James Dean?

This is what you call - SEXY!
James -the bad vampire :P

Caleb - The Covenant
Well..I told you so.. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank You to ~N~ kerana berkarih menghantar kan cupcakes dari KB hehe
Well pips, you have to try her cupcakes! It is absolutely delisccch!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

I'm not going to say much today as I'm not feeling very well. But I do want to share an email I got from a friend. I'm not sure how true it is, waallahwa'alam, but I think it has a very beautiful motive.

Oh yea by the way, my fellow pips and I are as of today known as 'Bowlers' :) Yup! We have a new addiction that is bowling! We're planning to organize a tournament, just between us, saja-saja lah ah, and the winner will get to treat us to Charcoal after that. Cool deal ey? hahaha nadawah.

We are going to ngayau to every place that has a bowling alley, that all depends on until when this addiction last hehehe next stop - MIRI! hehehe

A Fajr Story

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer in the masjid. He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied,'I saw you fall twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.' The first man thanked him profusively and the two where on their way to the masjid.

Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The man replied 'I am Satan.The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall.

When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if i made you fall one more time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village , so i made sure that you reached the masjid safely.So do not let Satan benefit from his actions.Do not put off a good that you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might recieve from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.

Assalamualaikum my readers,

This is the first time in weeks I woke up early,with a purpose that is. So I decide to continue my day with going through my daily websites, checking mails, checking my trades and of course updating this fabulous blog. :P

I'm turning over a new leaf. When sh*! happens one too many times, where your emotional power just couldn't handle it anymore, and you feel like you're just about to hit a break down, and slapping yourself a hundred times to believe how untrue it is just won't work. You just need to relax, sit down and think of whom you should go to besides your friends and family. And it is a calm therapeutic 'duty', I am trying my very best and I reckon all of you should do the same :)

I have always believe things happen for a reason. No matter whether it is good or bad, no matter how unfair you think it is, Allah S.A.W will not send you something that you could not handle, and that was the key for me to take it that this is just a test. A painful one yes, but with the surroundings of my beloved 'shoulders', well, I can say, I take this test as a 'blinded MCQ' : tick A) B) C) - close and submit! I came across this beautiful hadith
"tiada apa yang dapat menolak takdir selain doa dan tiada apa yang dapat memanjangkan umur kecuali perbuatan yang baik"

I'm going to continue to watch Russell Peters before I hit the gym. I haven't laugh so hard since, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and laughing is another good therapy I tell ya! I fell asleep while watching the latest series 'Red, White and Brown' - how could I fell asleep while watching Russell Peters???!!!!!

Assalamualaikum my dear readers,

Once again selamat hari raya aidiladha! The aidiladha festive mood was moderate in my crib this year. Some of the family members came to have lunch. Ada nasi beriyani, daging masala, acar, ayam goreng, satay dan macam-macam lagi lah. Thank you to my friends who came. And ada yang 'menolong' atu jua, terima kasih ah. hehehe

Later in the afternoon, PiPs988 accompanied me to ngantar barang makanan, dangani ia bayar kereta, bali jagong and ice cream, and then we went bowling. After bowling we went to bali cd that is really really highly recommended by PiPs - stand up comedian Russell Peters. She kept on imitating him the whole time and really intrigued me to watch this thing. So later tonight I have a date with Russell Peters ;)

Before sending me home,we singgah WYWY Sengkurong because I was hungry, padahal ada makanan di rumah tu, mau jua kan makan di kadai. No financial intelligence banar. hehe. There we came up with some solution that has been 'curiously' weighing in my head for the past few days. And Pips988 came up with a very 'smart' solution to my 5year plan to be extended to at least 9-10years because of what I need to learn and experience, and how I could fill all the gaps with more 'productive' things, so that my goal would not be in a dissapointment. Yes I need to agree that in life we need a goal, and I work well when I know there is an end point. So sul nya batah tah ku kan kawin lagi ni hehehe inda apa laaai..bila ada jodoh atu inda jua kemana.. aiseeeeey! mahal tu ah kata-kata perangsang mahaguru PiPs988 hehehe let's see if it actually works :P

Below are pictures courtesy of PiPs988 during her belated birthday outing last Sunday. I am so in need of a camera! Who wants to cross that out of my new year wish list?? Please leave a message hehehe

@Charcoal

Emotional distance is very
accurate here :P

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha
kepada semua umat Islam
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assalamualaikum pips!

Today our peaceful country is celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha or Hari Raya Korban. When we heard the takbir, PiPs988, ~N~, ~W~ and I were at the bowling alley. Bersalam-salaman tah kami. It was nice to hear the takbir for the second time this year. Tenang rasa jiwa dan raga. Hehehe.

Hari Raya Aidiladha is actually, to my understanding, to celebrate umat Islam yang sedang mengerjakan Haji di tanah suci Mekah. It is also hari memperingatkan Nabi Ibrahim a.s diberikan sebuah mimpi dari Allah S.A.W untuk mengorbankan anak lelaki nya Nabi Ismail a.s. They both believed that it was a test on both for their loyalty from Allah S.A.W and Nabi Ismail a.s. dengan rela nya bersedia untuk di korbankan. Dengan ketaatan mereka, semasa Nabi Ibrahim a.s. hendak meyembelih anaknya, dengan kuasa Allah S.A.W, Nabi Ismail a.s. telah ditukarkan dengan seekor kambing.

First of all I would like to thank PiPs988 for her belated birthday lunch treat at Charcoal. Awkwaaaaaard! hehehe! Who is in an 'awkward' relation with ehem ehem? hehe Attendees were myself, ~N~, ~W~ and NJ7. After lunch, we all went to the Mall and I bought PiPs988 'Patchi' chocolates as her birthday present. We also got the chance to catch this singing performance that was held at the mall. It was ok lah, not bad. Later after that we all went to the bowling alley to throw a few balls. Ucapannya panuh, sudah di aga banyak jua yang kosong. Liar :P

After bowling, I was craving to drink something strong, macam kopi lah. We all then went to Coffeebean Bandar untuk ngupi and etc.

PiPs988: jangan jara ah Charcoal ah, minggu dapan lagi hehe *winkS*

~N~ got PiPs988 cupcakes for her birthday! Delissccccch! And it is made to order! Check out her site ~N~!

Happiness.

2008-12-07T00:45:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum pips.

Happiness - the one and only ultimate goal everyone has been trying to achieve in their life, and so as I of course. Different individual has different prospective when it comes to happiness. My definition of 'happiness' is, excluding the materialistic core values, having someone in your mind that you are very fond of, and just the thought of that person brings sunshine to your boring days, carving a smile on your face that let you stare into space and think of all the good times. Having that person that made you hum all the sweet melodies.

I have been hurt more than one person should be hurt, having my heart torn out and thrown on the road letting a trailer pass by and squashed it in to a million pieces, later after that it was feasted with celebration by a pack of hungry dogs! But hey, that's life! Everybody has their ups and downs. And I never regretted any part of my past because it had made me stronger and wiser, I thought.

Every now and then, someone might slip the slippery slope when making a decision. Especially a life changing one. Talking back about my heart, the one that was feasted by the dogs, it took me quite a while to have it back reformed, and with calm consideration and the will to believe in happiness, it did. The pursuit of happiness is everybody's for the taking. It is achievable by having gratitude to where you are right now and not waiting for the right time, place or person.
I know a lot of people out there cannot be happy, it's just because they don't know how. It is because, normally, there is a great wall of china blocking them like low self esteem, ghost from the past that haunts them, self limiting thoughts and beliefs, and erroneous messages that tells them they do not deserve to be happy.

I believe a person who only seeks happiness and short term gratification without consideration for others will only find it eludes them. And I also believe happiness is not hedonism, where a hedonist only seeks pleasure and avoids pain, which there is little thought to future consequences, The feel good in the moment with justification just don't last. Sad part of this, I used to be a hedonist.

Everybody deserves to be happy, and I know I will. One thing to do is to not stop believing in it and start being thankful to everything.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This song has been playing in my mind. - Killer song kali ah!

It´s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There´s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words and I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky´s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
that you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!....

Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words and I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
Oh, when I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn´t fly
Oh, you gave me the wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh, for loving me

Surprise!!!!!!

2008-12-04T23:49:00.005+08:00

It was a long awaited surprise birthday plan for our very own PiPs988@Bengers! We were planning it since last week, where the plan went avail due to some of the Ladies absences. And I had to not mention one particular name for a whole week! And had to make up that I am not on speaking terms with the particular person. Hehehe.

Oh well, here was how the 'surprise' went. I picked up PiPs988 at her work place with the intention to go to the airport to send a particular person off. Since the person's flight was at konon nya at 8pm, I suggested that we go chill dulu since I haven't eaten since lunch. So off we went to Taurean Kopitiam to chill lah ah. Behind the cafe was where all the 'surprise planners' were hiding namely Far223, ~N~, ~W~, NJ7, Ms.FunFun and Nurul Zaks. The 'signal' for them to know we were already there was when I texted ~N~ , where at that time I had to change her name to 'mommy'. Berkeraja bah uleh nya. The 'activator' was when I called up ~N~ saying "Mom alai sama farah ni...(pause)..di BELAKANG tu mom..ok..bye" - which meant they're suppose to come in from the belakang. Tunggu punya tunngu, diaorang ani alum jua masuk, sampai terkeluar pulang 'awkward' moments and lagu "Farah bukan Farah Dong" hehehehe.

The surprise part was funny. Hahaha. I was in the middle of a fake conversation with PiPs988 when they came in slowly and gently singing Happy Birthday, and when I say gently, bersopan banar lah diaorang menyanyi hahahah PiPs988 was looking at the cake and then looked at me with the expression 'siapakan punya birthday??' hahahah priceless muanya ah! Nda plg priceless banar, banyak pulang kami malar tercapture expression mua nya cematu hehehe Iatah ~N~ email ku gambar nya masa di Polo ah hehe biar ia hehehe

Anyways..PiPs988..we are so glad that you were actually surprised! And minta maaf ah atas segala bohong-bohong sunat yang telah di katakan masa process kan membuat surprise ani hehehe Loves you! This Sunday..Rizqun hehehehe :P

After the surprise, NJ7 and I went to catch this new movie by Leonardo Di Caprio and Russell Crowe. It was a very interesthing movie. We came in 15 minutes late because of ticket issues. Actually kami nda ampit so had to wait bookings yang cancel hehehe. I got lost in the middle part but was able to catch the plot of the movie. There was muslims, terrorist, jihad and all sorts of islamic religion related. I am actually surprised the movie is even being released here.
Verdict: B+

So Ladies..and gentlemen..this Sunday!! :)

And.Now.It's.Black.

2008-11-28T01:24:00.005+08:00

You got to catch this! it's hilariously funny! hehehe! Directed by Rob Schneider himself, this movie really suits when having a first date, where everything is going well and very much interesting. After dinner, to end the miraculous evening you watch this movie, would be some night to remember. And I'm going to far with this. Hehehe. Watched too many movies!
Rating: A+!!

~N~ is now stranded in Bangkok. Kesian si alai. She's suppose to come back this Sunday. Sabar saja lai. I know you're prolly not reading this but mudahan saja kau selamat sampai ke Brunei. Bawakan saja apa-apa that you can get for me di airport ah. Hehehe.

Got bored the past few days and I coloured my hair black again! :P I think this time I'm sticking to this colour - PERMANENT!!!

Happy 25th Birthday Bengers! 24/11/2008

Selamat Hari Jadi ini saya tujukan kepada Dk.Farah Waheda @ Bengers
Semoga di murahkan rezeki dan ditabahkan hati untuk mengarungi cabaran hidup.
Aizzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! hehehehe

Aching.Muscles.

2008-11-22T02:57:00.004+08:00

I'm in awful pain! It's been a while since I had all these muscles pains, which obviously shows that I haven't been working out in a while.

Last Wednesday I had an induction appointment at my new gym at 10.30am. PiPs988 gave me a wake-up call and by 10.15am I was on my way. Before I left I had one piece of large banana for breakfast, which I calculated in my mind, it would have enough calories for me to spend 30-45 minutes on the treadmill. Induction went from calculating all my body weight, water weight, fat percentage in the body, body posture, flexibility etc, and I thought it was about it. Let's not go into figures of measurements but the happy news is I need to lose about 20% of the body fat, in my head I thought I need to lose like 60%!! That was good news ok hehehe Induction went from running on the treadmill to lifting weights, which I haven't been really doing in quite a while. Did the push-ups, triceps curls, biceps, lunges, squats - all done in a very aggressive manner, urg pernah personal training kali ah dulu.hehehe. During the push-ups, did 20 non-stop, the trainer said I had good strong arms hehe ok now I'm just showing off. heheh

The last part we were about to the abs, where I had to lie down on my back. Suddenly, my vision was blurred and it went black! For about 10 seconds! My god! I had never experience such thing! Advice: ALWAYS EAT A HEALTHY BREAKFAST!! and it was a lesson learned!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I received a forwarded email from RemyBoo and I thought I would like to share with you pips.

Dedicated to All My Beloveds :)

What.Could.Be.Worst?

2008-11-19T02:43:00.003+08:00

Seriously, what could be worst? Well according to Murphy's Law 'if anything can go wrong, it will'. I'm no whiz in physics or even chemistry to understand any kind scientificial law, but his saying is memorable and holds some important fact of experience that is considered true by some people, and it has gained some credibility.

There's one more of the Murphy's Law that had caused quite a stir, "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way", and the other ""Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way". Generally speaking, all his adage are just negative. I don't know what or who "Murphy" specifically is, but his laws i.e. adage are just memorable and yet true, which we can relate to our daily life.

Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way. True? I can agree to that. Anything can go wrong, and will go wrong, when you least expect it, only when you think about it. Try reading the book called The Law Of Attraction by Micheal J.Losier. I'm only reading it half way, but it really kicks Murphy's Law to shame.

Over.The.Top.Tired.

2008-11-18T00:14:00.002+08:00

God! Was it exhausting at the gym earlier! I went to try the Spinners class for Beginners, oh my goodness! Ketara bah buntu atu. Yea I can go on the treadmill, yes I can go on the floating machine, yes I can work out pumps, 30-40mintues it is fine, but 10 minutes in the Spinners class, I can actually feel my energy being dragged out from the top of my head and straight down to my feet! Crazy eh the class but the music made me want to go on and on. But terberanti jua. Hehehe. I would want to go on the class again, but with the right positioning of the seat and the handle thingy. Owh my I had never been so tired in my entire life, ada kali, but this for sure one tops it!

I have been surveying which camera to buy for the past 4 days? Since I broke my old camera when I was in Manila, and I had that camera for four years. I had never seen so much of my phlegmatic side. That means I really really want it! I was thinking to get one of those semi-pro cameras like what PiPs988 had bought. I was browsing through the Nikon and Canon site as these brands are stated to be the best there is out there. But somehow I kept on clicking on to those small sleek classy digital cameras, and I kept on going through the Sony selection over and over again. Macam my head wanted the semi-pro cameras, but something inside me said 'that's for you..that's for you' when I look at those sleek digital ones.

After gym, NJ7 and I went to Yayasan to browse for a few things, a shaver when I'm not mistaken, NJ7 was at the other corner and I went to camera corner. They were rows of the SLR cameras displayed and I was looking through one by one with an eagle eye, trying to find which one would caught my eye. NJ7 was pointing to the Canon and Nikon SLRs but slowly I made my way to the Sony display. Ok one problem solved. So it is Sony then. But now, which model. Crazy. hehe We looked through the sleekest model, and guess which one made the cut??

Sony T700!

So yeaa the Sony T700 made through the deep considered elimination. And now..what to do? *wishing upon a star* hehehehehehe
10.1 megapixel,
Weight/Dimensions (Approx.) 95.0mm x 58.4mm x 16.4mm
Digital Zoom

Ok what? hehehe :)

Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam pips!! Hey Hs! Welcome back!! And Rena - the most kan my template ;)

So how are you doing pips? My past few days has been great so far. There was movies, makan-makan, shopping and 'pictures' were taken. Whoops!! Ok, let's recap how my last few days were.

Friday - To be honest it was just a day of 'chilling' with PiPs988. Initially we were suppose to survey an outfit for PiPs988 for an event she has upcoming. But that went down the drain when I suggested she used an 'extra' the most outfit I had, just lying around :P We then had lunch at C.A.Mohd in Gadong. Bumped around Gadong area for abit before we head to the bowling alley, and unfortunately the alley was full, a tournament was going on. To our delight we got to meet beloved GB69 and ~N~'s new beau 'Win' - that's what I'm going to call him for now on.
Whilst waiting for the alley to be free, we went back to my place for a wardrobe change. Since it was still early, we decided to take little Ms. AngeL Shasya for a spin. By 6ish we went to the bowling alley. ~N~ then came in for a little surprise to Win. Owh how sweet. Hehehe.
PiPs988 was obsessed with this BMW shirt at the mall. So yes, melayan choleric nya we went to the mall again for the second time that day, third time for PiPs988 to purchase that paticular obsession of hers. ~N~ and Win joined as well. ~N~ and I, and Win of course, we purchased a his/hers BMW outfit where Ms.Obsession of the Day - PiPs988 purchased a the whole lot for herself. Inda tah dapat pakai baju matching dengan si kawan sorang tu. hehehe.

Saturday - NJ7 fulfilled my wish to watch 'The Coffin' at the Mall Cineplex. I'm just a huge fan of horror movies. I've been wanting to watch it since last week! PiPs988 and ~N~ caught it last weekend with their own respectives. The mall cineplex is not normally our favourite spot to watch movies, but what to do hehehe. It was a very terkajut movie and berijab lah. Rating: B. Thank you NJ7!

Sunday - Dinner/helped NJ7 with assignment/chill

Check out this song! I'm loving it!

Hey hey pips! I've been zonked for the past few days. Anyways..how are you pips doing? Ok now, well ever since I've been close to this one acquaintance of mine, I've been so thrilled and motivated to be going to the gym. With PiPs988 with me, it made it all exciting! Usually it would be just the both of us and NJ7 hitting the gym like crazy. Surprisingly enough, none of our other friends would like to join us. Well we were like that before, but there should always be time for exercise. Remember that now pips! The key to a healthy life consist of three important factors : 1) Eating healthy 2) Supplements 3) Exercise. We got numbers 2 and 3 under control except for number 1. That is still in the works. hehehe.

Earlier this afternoon, PiPs988, RemyBoo, NJ7 and myself knocked ourselves out playing badminton at our new gym. Oh yes, I just signed up to this new gym. Main reason of the switch is because of timing and well, they offered a better deal. The gym is much bigger, hence a lot more people. Ever since I'm in gym-ing regime, I've discovered a new weakness of mine. I think it is safe that it shouldn't be mentioned. hehehe. But oh it is swell! (for me that is)

Later after gym, we went to feast of ourselves with sushi. This is what I meant by trying to have our eating habits under control. hehe. But hey, it is low in carbs, and we tried to eat mostly protein. *winks*

Yesterday, I hung out with my usual crowd before at our usual spot, some of them that is. Waa..it's been a while that we sat down all together. Everyone now has their own agendas but we still keep in touch time to time. Our usual spot is at Kopitiam Too, where we were there almost everyday after work till late night. Macam dapur lah sudah. That was the good old times. No committments, no huss, no fuss, just good old friends. Now the place has been renovated to this cozy cafe. Before it was just the typical kopitiam place. The place has changed, so as the people. How I miss the good old times. That's why Kiss insisted that we go on a trip this December, who knows what it would be next year, some might get married, engaged or even been transferred. So this december - the reunion! Must go!
