Surprise Anniversary Dinner at Akar Lima Kulim

Days before our anniversary, Husband had already informed that he was taking a day leave from work so we could go out, just the two of us. I was looking forward to the day. It had been ages since we had our date without the kids. Hehe.

So on the day itself, we were getting ready to go out when I asked where were we going. He said he needed to go to the bank. (On out anniversary? pppft.) Okay la.. but we went to our favourite breakfast place at Astaka Taman Tun Sardon first. We had capati with kuah daging, all time favourite serabai and roti sandwich daging and tuna. Then we went to the bank to get his thing settled and went to catch a movie. We decided to watch Paskal due to all the positive review. I am glad that we chose Paskal after all these years of no movie. It was a great movie. Got myself emotional a bit.

After movie, husband said we were going to have early dinner. Early cos we had to go back early to fetch the kids from the babysitter. (Yeah.. dating pun kena cepat-cepat lol). So he drove to I didn't know where he didn't want to tell. I was actually thinking we would go to Blackwood Cafe as he entered Kulim. But no, he drove to this place I don't even know where he found out named Akar Lima. And then came the surprise.

The lady owner showed our table. With balloons and flowers and "Happy Anniversary" decorations.

The incredible journey

I had safely deliver a baby girl last November, Alhamdulillah.

My pregnancy went smoothly - no major allergy or critical morning sickness at the early stage - just need to take proper food and supplement for low hemoglobin level. But almost at the end of the pregnancy, I started to had high blood pressure. I was warned the dangerous of having high blood pressure during pregnancy and was told that I MIGHT be forced to deliver if my blood pressure increased up to dangerous level. Not something that would help me calm and decrease my blood pressure, right? -__-

My last pregnancy photo was during husband's convocation.

Lucky iPad Mini

The Camera Museum, Penang did a lucky draw contest on the Facebook fanpage and the winner would get an iPad mini. I saw the post on their FB page somewhere in October and totally forgot about it. A day before the closing date, they post a final reminder for those who wanted to join. It was as simple as post your photo in The Camera Museum, and get minimum 20 likes to be eligible for the lucky draw.

So I looked for my photo when I went there, post in on their FB page, and spammed my family & close friends asking them to like the photo before the closing time. I had only few hours left! I think by the time the contest was closed, I only got like 21 likes. Just nice! But I was thinking - Please la they don't choose the winner by the highest like the photo got, or else confirm lah I won't get it. Hahaha.

Days past after the closing date and I totally forgot about it, until a FB notification came in - a cousin just liked the photo of me (yeah after the closing date). Then I remember, eh, have they announce the winner? So I checked The Camera Museum FB page and need to scroll down and down and down (they post photos on their wall like 20 photos a day - nasib baik lah beautiful photos :p) and saw......

Umrah 1434H

Alhamdulillah .. Allah granted us the opportunity to fly thousands of miles to become guests of His home, Baitullah, once again. The happiness and joy that can't be described. The pounding and nervous feelings still arise, more over when it was nearer to the departure date. I went to the Umrah trip with the two most important person in my life - my mother and my husband - and with my aunt and her family. 

We departed to Jeddah by Saudi Air on Saturday 16 February 2013. We spent three nights in Madinah before we go to Makkah. 

Masjid Quba'

The first and oldest mosque in the world - built by prophet Muhammad s.a.w

One of the hadith on Masjid Quba':

"Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said: Whoever makes ablutions at home and then goes and prays in the Mosque of Quba, he will have a reward like that of an 'Umrah."

(Hadith is reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Hakim al-Nishaburi.)

Thank you, 2012

You've been good to me.

There might not be a lot of things happened in my life in 2012 as compared to the others. But that few things that happened in the last one year are the important highlights of my life.

21 April 2012

The day I was conferred the Master of Science (Polymer Engineering).

Alhamdulillah. I am happy to see my mom's happy face during the graduation day. I think maybe she didn't think I could finally graduate after the very long time to finish the thesis and viva plus all the problems I faced during the research study. -__-"


19 October 2012

The day my status changed from Cik to Puan.

We were strangers, became friends.
We shared our laughters and interest and hassle.
We then became a very best of friends.
Thing happens for a reason, they say.
We fall for each other.
Less than a year, we were engaged.
After another 6 months, we tied the knot.
Thank you, Allah, for sending him to be my imam... in solat and in life.


And to end my 2012, I've made one big decision which will affect my future.

I hope I made the right decision. After the istikharah, it is now time for tawakkal.

I'm looking forward to the whole new year.
Bring it on, 2013!

The Annual Iftar with Girlfriends

One of the best break-fasting sessions I had every year would be the annual break-fasting sessions with my lovely girlfriends. You know how some little things might look little, but actually touched your heart the most? I have one very touching memories of the iftar with girlfriends in 2010 when I had issues of coming back home for the annual session. I love you girls lots you knowwww :')

So anyway, we had our iftar on the Friday, 3rd August 2012. Except that this year, it should be call "Iftar with Girlfriends..and families". Yes... we were celebrating the first appearance of husbands and FOUR babies during the iftar! Last year, there were only us ladies, with three of them were pregnant and this year, four of them came with husbands and babies. We had always to go Little Penang Cafe, but due to not-so-comfortable to bring in babies' stroller etc., we needed to find somewhere else. After several discussion of where to go what to eat - we've decided to go to Pizza Hut, a place for (mostly) all. :P

Sha, Amie, Azid, Hanie, Natrah, Baiti, Fadilah, me, Naddy, Eda, Abg Ham, Shafiq - and babies Nidal, Raihan, Syasha.

The end of another journey

I finished my Bachelor degree somewhere in 2008 and were conferred the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Polymer Engineering) during the Universiti Sains Malaysia 38^th Convocation in August 2011. I’ve started to happily going into the lab and doing experiments, and reading journals looking for information and keep updated with the current trends of polymer field since the industrial training period and during my final year of Bachelor where we needed to submit a dissertation on research as a fulfillment to our Bachelor degree. Hence I decided to pursue my Master’s degree and registered in December 2008.

Meeting the Buttercup and Blossom juniors

Besides went for food hunting in Penang last weekend, I also went to Kulim to visit my lovely, very own Buttercup and Blossom - Zydah and Nurul and their princess. Zydah and Nurul had been a very close friend to me since my first year in USM, back in 2004.

GEMS big bang carnival

10.11.09

last week i was at home, again! it was totally unplanned. days before my cousin Along a.k.a Nida called and asked if i wanna join her to open a booth for the GEMS Big Bang Carnival. Both of us own a blogshop. i knew about the carnival through the lovely Hanis Zalikha's and her sister Liana Ezzana's blogs. 
So due to no-plan-for-the-weekend plus the i-might-be-boring-lepaking-at-room-on-the-weekend, i told Along that i would be back and join her. I might as well do the clearance stock sale for my blogshop items.


So the GEMS Big Bang Carnival was held at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa from 9am to 6pm. It was held by the GEMS participant, Liana Ezzana was one of the organizer. She was so gracious to work with.

me, at our booth

What else were there at the Big Bang Carnival???

 

Vespa show

Aiskrim Malaysia by Monster Jambu

Special appearance by Maya Karin

besides booths there were also

 bands

muslimah fashion show

paintball

telematch

blood donation

etc etc etc

I soooo wanna thanks mum for dropping by Taman Tasik Titiwangsa later that evening after went for a wedding in Keramat. She came with cousin Diba, Effa and my aunty to show us support :)

and my girlfriend Baiti came after went for a wedding also. haishh why la so many wedding~

 

and while lepaking at our booth, chit chatting, suddenly Liana came with a lovely lady and said.. "Hi, ni adik saya. kenal kan?" Bloggers must've known this lovely lady sekali pandang je.

Fewiiitttt Hanis Zalikha was there wehhh. depan mata. she's sooooo beautiful in person. she's look exactly like she is in the pictures. Kalau letak ShahRukh Khan depan mata pon i x pandang kot. :p

She was there to support her sister, her mother Nani Rostam who open a booth selling cookies & cakes for hantaran and her little siblings, the Monster Jambu owners.

sila jeles ye kawan kawan ;p

at around 545pm we were ready to pack as the carnival would end at 6pm. then i saw Hanis came to our booth, again! She looked at the second hand novels i was letting go (due to x cukup tempat nak place my new books. oh, no i didn't let go any of Sheldon's) and she bought two of them!!! My novels are now Hanis'. :D :D

Some of the second hand novels

And dengan hati yang riang ria sebab jumpa si manis Hanis Zalikha (baru jumpa Hanis, kalau la yang dtg tu Adam ke Zahiril Adzim ker..mesti sampai pengsan kot :p) kami pun pulang ke rumah.

It was indeed a great day. I gained experience selling my items at an open booth, at an open carnival like this. Thanks Along for asking me to join.

Souvenir from the organizer

Bile tengah bosannnnnnn

Being vain is my total expert ;p

Oh, btw....there was a scene..
"hi..budak USM kan? kampus kejuruteraan?"
"er..yup. do i know u? USM jugak?"
"a'aa.. school Bahan kan?"
"errr..yup. kita sama batch ker?"
"sama. school EE. sama dengan Nine semua"
"ohhh..ok. Sory x cam..."
"haha xper" 
bla bla bla~~~

teruk ker saya kalau orang cam saya tp saya x cam orang itu?? dah la dia cam siap tau skool pulak. saya rasa teruk  -_-"

and I met a junior from highschool, Syed Mubashir. Nasib baik dia cam lagi senior dia nih kalau x nak marah dah. hehe

Just now Baiti darling told me she was thinking of interviewing Hanis Zalikha for the personality column in StarMetro. She's still waiting for the reply. Hope Hanis will agree to do it :)

p/s: I need to stop missing you it hurts

Belated birthday bumper issue hehe

31.10.09

So it has been 10 days past my birthday. I am now 24 years and 10 days old. isk. But nvm.. i'll always be young at heart :p

I realize i haven't really blog about how my birthday was. As you can see the cake in my previous post with the cute Bubbles on it was prepared for me for the surprise early celebration by my dearest sistah and friends. They really took me by surprised. and i hate you kakak for telling me lies about not coming to campus that day! I super love that cake. It have 'me' on it. I asked Nurin when i meet her last week if she has see my birthday cake. She said yes (I mms-ed her aunty the cake pict days earlier) and was kinda pissed sbb jelous. hahaha boleh belagak dengan budak kecik tu. best best best. talking about being 24 huh. blagak dengan budak 4 thn. huhu
i was not really in a good mood during the birthday because of some things. i tried my best to forget whatever happen and just being happy for sake of my own birthday.

the day after, hadi asked me if i wanna go lunch with him, sally and supposedly nik (sape suh g lunch awal sgt kan dah kene tinggal :p). we went to seoul garden with my head and my mind ntah ke mana2 jugak (sorry hadi & sally) but thanks to u both for making me laugh. i have no photo, again due to mood yang menghilangkan diri. but sally posted this. ;)

i went back on thursday, the 22nd. singgah ipoh to see kakak. went to jusco ipoh with kakak & ikmal, had lunch at sushi king (finally ikmal makan sushi lalalala)

then went to batu gajah (cousin kak lina's hubby's kampung), balik ditemani budak kesayangan itu. penat layan dia membebel dalam perjalanan. but half way, tido.

the next day, went to a dentist for a makeover :p super duper love it!! thanksss Dr.Fauziah. such a great birthday present for my own self.

later went to dinner with mum & cousin Diba. a treat for my birthday, of course. so we went to the Hale's Kitchen at Plaza Rah, Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kampung Baru for a western dinner. it was our first time there and the foods were great. btw, the outlet’s name was taken from the old name for Jalan Raja Abdullah, which was Hale Road.
On Saturday, Baiti, Nadia & I went to Eda's brother's wedding at Bukit Antarabangsa.
We technically met Sharmi at the wedding and made plan to go to OU since it's the nearest. It has been a while since I last go there pon. Sorry Eda x dapat join sama. Next time k, darl!
So we went for a coffee first. Besides the girls, there were also Ruban and Zikri.
After the starbucking moments with some gossiping activities, we went around window shopping. I have an eyes on a Blay heels. looks like the one I want at Nichi. but unfortunately.. no more shoes for julia. :'( i spent too much on heels/sandals/shoes in 2009. haisshh! beli for Raya Haji acceptable x? :p

But i get myself this..
....and a ring. nice isn't it? both from Diva. habis jugak akhirnya duit, even not for the heels..huhu

next we went for dinner at Charms. and pretty boy Ariff came. at last.
oh. no picts of Ruban & Zikri? biar lah. go see in Facebook jer la. hehe

and on Sunday i went to a Bengkel Asas DSLR. i might've known the basic use of DSLR through some reading but i think it was good to join a class as they teach u hands on, right. furthermore..it was organized by Itudio Studio. and the chance to meet the one and only Sue Anna Joe, bebeh!! plus, i made some friends ;)
For those who didn't know her, go google. hehe. i like her selfpotrait shots so much and it was an honour to met her eye to eye. and to have her co-teaching in the workshop. fuhh!

here some gambar curi from Itudio Studio blog. hehe


tho there were some things happened that kinda made me down during my birthday, i did enjoy the time i spent with the people i love.

thank you, lovely people. xxx

and good luck to my adiks here in USM who are going to take the final exam starting next Monday. All the best!!

Twenty Four

After years of waiting..finally! I get this. ;)

Thank you Kak Faha, Kak Ida, Kak Husna, Kak An, Ikmal, Norrish, Najwan & Amin for the surprise advance celebration. Zillion of thankssss!! I love you all so muchhhh!!

Can't wait to be home. to be with the bunch of people that i love.

*edited*

Jom sama2 hayati lirik lagu ni sempena hari yang menjadikan umur saya setahun lebih tua dari semalam. :p

Ingatkah semua Hari tua pasti menjelma
Detik waktu yang laju Pantasnya tak akan menunggu

Begitu usia Makin hari makin meninggi
Siang malam berganti Yang pergi tak berulang sekali lagi

Begitu cepat putaran masa
Terkadang tanpa pun kita sedar
Siapa yang lebih bersedia
Dialah yang selesa

Tua mengejar
Pasti tiba masanya Kau merasa
Hidup tak segagah Waktu remaja
Di mana tenaga Menyala-nyala
Di hari tua
Makin terpadam semua

Tua mengejar
Di mana kau berada Tak berbeza
Semua kan merasa Itu hakikat
Tak bisa hindari Walau seinci
Bersihkan diri
Sebelum terlewat nanti

Hey kawan semua Aku cuma memberi pesan
Andai cukup bekalan Tak mungkin kita kehausan

Usahlah menunggu Uban memutih di rambutmu
Cepat-cepat berilmu Semoga tak menuju di jalan buntu

(Fauziah Latiff - Tua Mengejar Kita)




Life is short. So live life to the fullest!

don't know how?
here's some idea!
;)
