Wow..its been awhile.Would love to update more especially on Raisa's development but time is just not with me now.Raisa is 7 months plus and being seven god knows how pretty playful she can be,she wanted to explore almost everything.. she's started to walk slowly and keep on goo goo gaa gaaing.Her first word was MaMa and now started to call me "aammii"..aww she's just so adorable that i wish i could be with her all the time.

Raisa's daddy a.k.a My other baby :) is flying off again tomorow to Dubai and then to Turkmenistan.Looks like im gonna be left again :( but not alone this time :)

Okay thanks a lot for the wassup email and notes.Insyaallah will update more soon.

XOXO

Motherhood Rocks!!

2009-12-10T01:27:00.013+08:00

Raisa is 1 month and 17 days today,which means i have not blog ever-since and i have another 13 more days to spent the Q-time with my precious Raisa. Its kinda scary thinking how time flies, still feels like as though she was still in my tummy, kicking and i only get to see those cute little face once a week via ultrasound, the minute i know, now she's on my lap, sleeping. Yeah..Raisa is so attached to me that she just want to be with me all the time.

Okay,well i have a lot to share, lets start with how Raisa finally decided to see the world...ooo wait.. she was actually force to see the world..that's more like it..hehe.

As scheduled, I was induced for labor on Friday(23Oct) afternoon at 2pm. I waited for a few hours, there was no pain at all.My gut feeling strongly tells me that its gonna be long hours of waiting. Ive learnt from few friends that force labor requires extra patience because it can takes more than 24 hours to dilate...but thank god my gut feeling was wrong!!My water bag broke at 7.30pm. and labor room..here i come!!

At 7.45 pm I dilated around 5 cms and still there was no pain which construed me to not opt for epidural.(what was I thinking????).

At 9pm, i was extremely excited..WHY?...becoz i get to watch 'Nurkasih'.20 minutes later..i started to feel the CONTRACTION. The pain was greater and greater. I was adviced to take the gas, which claimed to ease the pain, but hell NO..not only i can still feel the pain, i was drowsy, i got high and was completely not myself!I cant control myself, I was screaming...I saw my hubby's face..like 10 faces.It was a nightmare. My prince charming came to the rescue, my hubby managed to calm me down and after the 3rd push attempted..Raisa has officially ready to meet her mommy and daddy.The time was 9.53pm.After 3 days and 2 nights stay at Ampang Puteri Premier Ward, my gynecologist has finally set us free, 'we're going home Raisa!Yeay....
....but not for long. Raisa suddenly turned yellow n it was a red alarm for us.She was confirmed jaundice at 15.9 n had to be warded.I was almost crazy to be separated from her for 3 long days.I cried and cried but thank god Ampang Puteri Hosp is only 5 mins from home. Wut i did was, I stayed at the hospital from as early as 7 am till as late as 1 am. It was painful for me to watch my baby undergoing the photo therapy treatment.Fortunately, it was not for long. Raisa's jaundice reading was very positive that it has decreased tremendously from15.9 to 9.6 on the 2nd day and followed by 7.3 on the 3rd day. Raisa is finally back in my arms again. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Sleepless nights, joyful tears, joyless tears...a new chapter in life begins. A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.

To Baby Raisa, Be a good daughter and always know, that no matter what happened, mommy will love you endlessly.

Introducing my love.. my happiness, Siti Raisa Imani

A surprise Baby Shower for my dear Veen!!

2009-10-12T21:57:00.024+08:00

It took us one week to plan just about everything. I'm so glad it all went well despite me being 'not so well'.The funny part was Veen had no clue that we are preparing this for her. I have to made up stories just to drag her to the Apartment KLCC last Sunday. Thank god, it all turned out just as planned!

Anyway, My baby is still happily staying in my tummy...still enjoying all the nice food mummy is taking. Mommy is still waiting honey, but now, impatiently!
This gorgeous centerpiece is perfectly done by Yes. The baby shower favors, as u can see, the big milk bottle is actually a coins container decorated with ribbons and 'Its a Baby Boy' Hallmark cards are prepared by me.
I so love the purple n white helium balloons..Yes personally chose them since purple has always been Veen's fave color...and who would have ever thought that she would dress in purple top on that day?such a coincidence..she really did surprised us...aww so glad everything fell into places PERFECTLY!

The venue and food selection were done by me. The venue selection was basically based on the location, the coolest cafe that is the nearest to Ampang Putri Hospital, just incase if any emergency, u know what i mean ;). As for the food, I chose a bit of this and that, just to have varieties and the food are YUMMERS!! From left is steak sandwiches and on the right hand side is Peking Duck Crepe. The middle dish is my fave desert, "put it here,put it here"...hehe..yeah my Eton Mass..yummieee
Menu of the day:
Appetizer come main course
2 x Peking Duck Crepe
3 x steak sandwiches
Desert
3 x Baked Choc Pudding
2 x Eton Mass

All served in one go. And hey we managed to finished them all..hehe..its not a problem when u have 3 pregnant ladies, veen(9 months), cat(4 months +) & i(9 months +) in the house....we eat while we can!!
What most important is to make my dear friend Veen, happy!
"Veen, U have been so dear to me all these years and u deserve all the happiness in this world.Cant wait to see your cute lil' boy.Love you lots babe!Hugs**"

p/s: Thanks Yes, Cat & Naj for such a blast Sunday!

All my bags are packed...Im ready to go!!

2009-10-07T21:00:00.012+08:00

not so fast...looks like my baby is still enjoying herself in my big tummy...baby cepatlah kuar..come and meet the world sayang :) mommy cant wait to see you comel

The helper/maid is finally here!!

2009-09-01T18:19:00.008+08:00

Hello everyone!Here's my new maid, Asma. Very young and hopefully she is as energetic as she looks since i am desperately need a helper to make sure the house is clean and insyaallah to look after our baby when he/she is born soon. A lot relief for me becoz god knows how stressful i was when the maid was not around. Being 8 months pregnant and still wanting to do the house cores like before does leave an impact on me esp emotionally. I guessed, that's when my hubby decided to have the maid early. Who can actually stand a grumpy wife..hehe..i was not that bad!

Now, it is high time for her to be trained. My feet n fingers has started to be swollen, i cant even write a single word. Now i am started to walk like a penguin..hehe..my mood swings are unpredictable and recently experiencing bad headache and tummy ache.

..I'm not complaining, just enjoying the motherhood moments :)

My Surprise Baby Shower

2009-08-19T20:39:00.016+08:00

Im sorry. I know I owe u guys 2 posts but i can only pre post one entry at the moment since i have not been well lately, down with mild fever, flue..terrified with the H1N1..gosh..i guess its all part and parcel of becoming a mother..a 'Strong' one!

One thing for sure, I just got to share with you on what had happened last Sunday. I was asleep the whole afternoon after buying a bouquet of pink roses for my bestfriend, Veen. She's throwing a birthday party in the evening at Delicious Marc Service Residence. My hubby woke me up a few times becoz he knew that no matter what, i really cannot missed this one. And so i finally woke up, and at that time my hubby was all ready and set to go. I rushed myself and we left home at about 5 pm. The party was supposed to start at 5pm. I was late!

As i was there, suddenly Veen came to me and said
" Iza,welcome to your Baby Shower Party"

Hubby was smiling and so does everyone. I was so shock! Speechless..amazed with the beautiful decor...just like what I've always imagined..small crowd, intimate moment with my loved ones. Veen has been planning this for almost a month, and my hubby n Qme have been conspiring with her all the while. Im so touched.

Here's the Party favour made from love. A personalised mix cd with songs for mommies, daddies, aunties, uncles and babies, a teddy bear keychain, personalised fridge magnet "Iza & Yad's Baby Shower" and "It's a Boy", 'It's a Girl" peppermint candies :) Perfectly done by VeenWith my BFFs.....Veen, Myself and Qme :) Thank you Veen for being so dear to me. We have been through a lot together..10 years of true friendship. To My darling hubby thank you for never failed to make me happy. To Qme thank you for always being there for me no matter how far you are..and to Yes, thank you for being so sweet & kind to me.

Mummy and Baby(in my tummy) are both very happy and we felt so blessed to have such wonderful people around us.

Smile :)

Two wrongs do not make a right

2009-07-10T17:59:00.013+08:00

I was stuck in the middle when a friend of mine started to bad mouth another friend of ours over some personal issues. As a normal human being, off course at first i tend to believe it but when i think deeply, there's always two sides of a story. I only heard one side and yeah how true the story was, only God knows. Some people can be really good when making up stories. And for the fact of sharing it with me and others*, to me was very much unmatured. My advice, stop it, be an adult and SOLVE IT!
p/s:peace!i meant well :)
i miss MJ!sob*sob*Alfatihah buat Mikhail.

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

Our beloved VP Farewell Party * coming soon*

2009-06-23T16:44:00.002+08:00

My productive weekend

2009-06-20T20:32:00.013+08:00

I woke up as early as 8.00 am today..which to my record was very early considering i slept around 3 am the night before. Me n Mr Hubby Yaddie went to SK Danau Kota to watch our nephew Yul performing nasyid. I got very fascinated with his performance, not only he looked so handsome in blue baju melayu, but the way he played the tambourine with some cool moves for nasyid..hehe..really got my attention. Ahaks :)

Yul is the one standing in the middle.
"Yul, you're a star!we are so proud of you."

In the afternoon, our kiddos Hana and Naufal hang around at our place. We had some drama play, i acted as Mak Som from the kids sitcom in Ceria-Hikayat Putera Shazlan, Hana as Pasha, Naufal as Putra Shazlan and my hubby as Pak Tam..hehe..kelakar sangat..but somehow Naufal the so called Shazlan couldn't bare continuing his role..he cried..aww~maybe Mak Som was too garang..hehe..opps

In the evening, me n Mr Yaddie went to my mom's place to meet our little niece Alisha..she's so cute..she just loves sitting on my laps..wish i could have snap the photo of Alisha sitting comfortably on my laps :) she looks so happy.

Tomorrow, i plan to shop at toys r us. Wanna get some cool stuff for preggers. Hopefully it is still on shelf.

Okay folks, its time to go to Dewan Merdaka. Got another concert to catch.Tata!

p/s:managed to finish watching Brothers & Sisters season 3. looking fwd for the season 4!

Sad Sunday..goodbye my friend :(

2009-06-18T20:57:00.014+08:00

My bestfriend Qme is leaving soon...very sad for me but surely happy for her as she left for a good reason..she's gonna be the country manager in Jakarta. Way to go gurl!

From Left : Qme, Me,Irda

(just realized we coincidentally wore the same combination color :) so cool)

This is 'us' having lunch Qme's 29th Bday come farewell at the Terrace, The Curve last Sunday. Sad again that Hana n Lily cant make it at the very last minute. Well, everyone has their priority in life, right? It was fun though but i am started to feel something is missing.Hmm..maybe it was just me n my hormonal imbalance.

This is us last year at Qme's 28th bday..sob*sob*

To Qme, I am surely gonna miss u gurl. I wish you all the best and success in Jakarta. I will surely come there once in a while when everything has settled down. Take Care..sob*sob*

2009-05-30T21:43:00.006+08:00

I cant help myself everytime i hear this beautiful song by Allahyarham Sudirman because if i did i will definitly burst into tears. Pelangi Petang has always been my all time favorite and why.. because it reminded me so much of my arwah Yong. I miss her very much...she left us 8 years ago.God loves her. She has to leave just like the Pelangi Petang..although we dont get to spend a lot of time with her but her beautiful smile will always remain in my heart. I love you Yong!Alfatihah buat Noormi bt Mohd Fahami.Amin

Pelangi Petang

Kumeniti awan yang kelabu
Kutempuhi lorong yang berliku
Mencari sinar yang menerangi
Kegelapanku

Kupercaya nanti suatu masa
Sang suria kan menyinar jua
Membawa harapan yang menggunung
Bersamanya...

Engkau tiba bagaikan pelangi
Tak bercahya namun kau berseri
Tapi cukup menghiburkan
Hati ini

Seharian waktu bersamamu
Tak terasa saat yang berlalu
Bagai pelangi petang
kau kan pasti
Pergi jua...

wow...it took me awhile to actually start writing...hmm..where should i start?

May 2009, the month begin with me getting the additional number or AGE or +1 to be exact I turned 29 but my 29 bday was not as fancy as my previous years. No Hooha celebration..Just me n hubby having dinner n spend some quality time together..it was lovely.Thanks Hun!and.. yeah have a great bday lunch with Veen. Thanks for d lovely flowers.Love it!

May has been such a busy month for me...I'm working on 3 HR major projects and alhamdulillah all went well..we have recently successfully commenced teleworking in TM and I'm so delighted that my boss was tremendously satisfied with my work that he thinks that i deserve to have a rest for a week..can u believe it...yeay..and yes i am on leave until next Wednesday.

May I..Everyone..introduce you to YBhg Dato Abdul Aziz Abu Bakar, the Chief of Human Capital Officer of TM. He was formerly from Shell and this is Dato' giving an opening remarks during the commencement of teleworking in TM.The fat lady at the rostrum..that was me..emceeing!May has also been a horrified month when i had a very bad or should i call it the greatest pain of toothache..urghh..just imagine..i was emceeing an event live broadcast nationwide..while me having such pain of toothache, but still manage to smile, pretending everything was OK.At that point of time, i wish i can have a pain killer but NO No No..preggers can only prescribe paracetamol which doest help at all.

May all the pain dissapear...thank god my suffering moment ends when i finally decided to go to dentist to pull my tooth out. And..arghhh...NO!!it was even more painful..and i thought it will all soon heal but YES alhamdulillah..come the second day, i can now smile..becoz I'm okay now!alhamdulillah. Syukran Syukran

current mood:all day sickness..sleepy n craving for potato chips tomato flavor.

Syukur Alhamdulillah

2009-03-16T20:16:00.005+08:00

I am 6 weeks pregnant :) My baby is still very small, at this stage my baby's heart is no bigger than a poppy seed but has now begun beating. I almost had a tear falling, after 1 year and a half waiting, finally me n my hubby get to experience the 1st moment listening to ur baby's heartbeating. It was a remarkable feeling.Syukur Alhamdulillah.

During the first trimester, I have to be extra careful. No more heels, no more eat everything i want, no more hoo haa..hehe..i spend most of the time talking to my baby, reading lots of academical books, reciting Quran and even put on my baby bump with earpiece of my digital quran, so that my baby can listen to Al Quran very much clearly.

I have started experiencing some very common signs of pregnancy but thank god no vomitting..oh yeah..no.. only once..i cant stand the smell of durian.i vomitted and i found it hard to believe..i was a hantu durian n now i cant even stand the smell..weird huh?

Another not so good sign is i experienced some spotting. I went straight to Ampang Putri ER and fortunately my gyne, Dato' Dr Ashar was still around. According to him, light bleeding or spotting during pregnancy - particularly during the first three months - is fairly common. But its always good to detect early. I was given an anti-abort injection + some other medications and a week mc. I need a lot of rest.

An advice from a fren really motivated me. She said i should take it as a challenge. Be positive and insyallah u'll go through this. Yeah, i know i can do this, Insyallah, God's willing everything will smooth sail until the day i become a mommy. Segalanya merupakan ketentuan Tuhan.Aku redha.

Dear friends, please pray for me that everything will goes well as planned.Amin.

From the heart of Uncle Dell of his lost of his greatest brother/my beloved father in law,Sadar Khan bin Hydar Khan. Alfatihah to Sadar Khan bt Zaiton

Passing of a true gem
By HARESH DEOL March 02, 2009 Categories: Obituaries

IT USED to be a nagging half-an-hour ride on the ever-reliable Lambretta.

Today, it is still remembered as a melodious tune by former international and former FA of Malaysia general secretary Datuk Dell Akhbar Khan who lost his beloved brother Sadar Khan yesterday.Sadar, a former international and Selangor centreback, was 66.

“We used to go for training together and he would lecture me from the time I sat on his bike till we got home,” said Dell.“He was a tough brother both on and off the field. He used to always disturb me during our younger days and was a no-nonsense defender during our playing days.”

Dell stressed his brother was a tough last man and showed no mercy when taking on opponents.

“There was a match when I was playing with Police and he was with Selangor. I tackled (Datuk M.) Chandran and he was taken off the field. Substituting him was Sadar. He made my life difficult throughout the match and was constantly on my back. He showed no mercy, even though we were brothers.”

But the bond always remained, and it was the rivalry that pushed Dell to improve his game and become an international himself.

“He was the main reason why I made it to the national team. Sadar was my inspiration.”

Sadar played for Selangor in the 1960s and in the Merdeka Tournament winning team in 1968. Starting off as a school player, Sadar went on to play in every age-group tournament before donning national colours.Among his teammates then were Chow Kwai Lam, goalkeeper Chinna Karuppan and Chandran.Kwai Lam, too, remembered Sadar as a hard player.

“He was a quiet and soft-spoken man. Just don’t make him angry-lah,” said Kwai Lam, among the large number of former Selangor and national footballers, including Datuk Ghani Minhat, Mazlan Harun and Rahim Abdullah, who paid their last respects at Sadar’s residence in Taman Keramat yesterday.

“We won the 1968 Merdeka Cup after 14 years. Thirteen players in that squad were from Selangor.

“It’s very sad for me as I’ve lost two good friends (Foo Fook Chuan and Sadar) from the 1968 squad just months apart.” Fook Chuan suffered a heart attack and passed away in January.

Sadar complained of chest pains at about 2am yesterday and his family members took him to a nearby clinic. He took some medication and managed to get some sleep an hour later. Sadar usually joined a group of neighbours for their daily morning walks. When he didn’t get down to his daily routine, the family checked on him and discovered he had passed away.

Sadar leaves behind his wife Che Nah Shamsuddin, daughter Siti Sadarina, son Rashad and three grandchildren.

Yaddies bag is packed!

2009-02-22T21:17:00.009+08:00

Hubby is leaving in less than 24 hours. Just done packing and thought of having a quick peek at my wonderland while Mr Yaddie is busy cleaning the aquarium.

Oh well...Yesterday was a day full of cooking..it was very very tiring. I cooked for my in laws too..u see cooking for 3 homes is not an easy job and for the record hubby was such a great assistant :) thank you darling. But today was even better...its all about washing the dirty laundry ;)

My pool skill is getting better. I beat my hubby twice in a row...macam tak percaya kan?i cant believe myself either.Hubby said it was all about luck...Excuse me~I dont think so!ahaks. I guessed having a pool table at home was not a bad idea after all!although i was very much disagree at the first place..hehe..poyos!

Next, me n hubby was thinking of getting a karaoke system...yg biasa2 jer la.. BMB is the best speaker for karaoke but dont think can afford it. Our plan for our entertainment room has been delayed for quite sometime. Reason no 1. LAZY! so mmg tak dapek nak nolonggg!There's too much stuff that needs to be packed and unpacked..and trust me, its gonna take a looong time.

Okay,hmm i wonder where my girls at?Haven't heard of them since yesterday...ok for now..wanna continue practising..bye

Too Many Things Too Little Time

2009-02-15T01:42:00.017+08:00

I hate it when it comes Sunday sigh* but I'm glad hubby is OK now.Mr Yaddie has not been well lately.So was I. Ive experienced some unexplained chest pain recently.I did some google search and found numerous sites that was kinda frightening. The 1st link on chest pain gave me the result of this -

"In medicine, chest pain is a symptom of a number of serious conditions and is generally considered a medical emergency."

ahhh Takutt...I realized that my body has given me a signal of TAKE IT EASY IZA..yeah, i need a break.

Yesterday was another productive Saturday for me. I went to UKM Bangi with emak to send some stuff from Bandung to my sister Seela. Oo Yeah my mom has just got back from Bandung. Memang shopping sakan sampai exceeded the access baggage..ahaks.Now i know where i got my shopholic from..ahaks!It runs in the blood..hahaha...

At night pulak.. we had a partayyy...Naufal's 4th Birthday Party!! It was a blast off course and me really enjoy my sister in law's specialty home made Lasagna...the best lasagna ever! Let the picture do the talking..talk pic..talk!

here's the birthday boy..yg excited semacam tu la Naufal!

wah..so many present mehhhh
ok that's all!Bye!

Happy Birthday My Baby Love!

2009-02-02T22:15:00.013+08:00

On 2.2 My hubby turned 33....OMG my baby is 33 today.
Unlike past years, this year around we chose to have the celebration with our family at our home :) My darling hubby was pretty shock (happy shock off course) the moment he saw his bday cake. Yes!mission accomplished! Only god knows the trouble i have gone through just to get the big smile on his face. It was not so the trouble la..hehe..wut i did was i went to almost 6 bakeries to get the exact cake that i wanted and finally Secret Recipe managed to convince me. Surprisingly they even offered me a very reasonable price . So i chose Secret Receipe and yes i am very satisfied. The funny part was that I even received compliments from them..believe it or not they said that my cake was the coolest cake ever.Waaa..they hv got to be kidding..LOL! They even took some photos of my cake for sample..i should have be getting more discount right? But i was too happy that i dont even bother to ask..hehe..

So here's how the cake looks like..what do u think?

Before the party started, the bday boy served tea to our honourable guest, none other than our beloved parentsss :) So here was the climax part, cake cutting and making wishes with all his beloved people around him. This is our family :)

I so envy my hubby...y?bcoz at the age of 33, look at the pressies he got..

so many meeehhh..LOL!

Look, my hubby...smiling with content while reading my birthday card. I wrote a really really long bday wishes..dont ask what i wrote but wut i can share with u is that i even put my wish list for my coming bday in May..specifically on 6 May yeah everyone..hint*hint* ahaksafter opening pressies, here comes our compulsary activity, its KARAOKE time!! hehe..masuk coins..masuk coins..bak kata Kak Gurl the karaoke artis of the month :) Hey,what is my hubby doing in that tupperware? hehe...it means its time to pack and sayonara. Its a wrap. Everyone left with full stomach and big grin on their face and its time for me to basuh pinggan n kemas rumah.

"My hubby darling, to make you happy is the reason why i live in this world. I love u and I wanna grow old with you darling. Tayang Tomel.Muahhhss "

GROW OLD WITH YOU

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad :)

All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you

Kiss you

Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you

Feed you

Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

Put you to bed if you've had too much to 'drink'

I could be the one who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you

Why?

2009-01-29T19:20:00.003+08:00

Why does the sun go on shining?Why does the sea rush to shore?Don't they know it's the end of the world,`cause you don't love me anymore?Why do the birds go on singing?Why do the stars glow above?Don't they know it's the end of the world?It ended when I lost your love.I wake up in the morning and I wonder why ev'rything's the same as it was.I can't understand, no I can't understand, how life goes on the way it does!Why does my heart go on beating?Why do these eyes of mine cry?Don't they know it's the end of the world?It ended when you said good-bye.

p/s:This is one of my all time favorite number..just love the melody..the simple words..its a beautiful song that really touches my heart all the time

Gold Coast?

2009-01-24T00:27:00.000+08:00

From KL - Goldcoast and then back to KL again within the 5 days of Chinese New Year Holiday...can u believe it? Off course you can because the Gold Cost i meant was actually the one in Pantai Morib. So here's a few photos of me n hubby on our holiday breakaway at Gold Coast Morib n also a pic of me n hana on our girls day out at KLCC.

I believed

2009-01-17T16:54:00.017+08:00

Have you ever think of what u'll be in 5 years time? I have set my personal goal plan target from 2008 until 2012, documented so that it will be easier for me to measure gradually. Its very easy, just google up n ull find thousands of site that can assist u on how to set your personal goal in achieving your dreams. True that we can only plan , at the end of the day Allah yang menentukannya but always remember, only you determine what kind of person u want to be so its good to start now. OMG do i sound so boring~~gosh, my new job has leave quite an impact on me..hehe..help!

Let me share with you what i want to be in 5 years time. I want to work on my own or to be more specific, is to run my own business. Why?Okay..lets look at my current daily routine. I woke up at 6 am, sent my hubby to work at abt 6.40 and reached my office at 7.30a.m.The clock in time in TM(where i work) is at 8.30am and our clock out time is at 5.30pm. + jammed + extra hours in office, approximate of 12 hours (half day) was spend WORKING. minus 6 hours of sleeping so that makes it only abt 6 hours left to spend with your love one. Dont you think that life is too short to only have a quarter time of your day for your family. Its so not worth it!

I want a work life balance, where i can still work, earn my own money but at the same time, i have ample time for my husband and my kids (insyaallah). I want my family to be my most priority because i always believe that a happy family starts from a happy wife/mom and in Islam, syurga wanita itu terletak di suaminya. Life is not that simple, so this is why it is very important to start plan early.

Okay..okay..There is something interesting that i want to share with you today. In my personal goals, i have identified a few skills of mine that can contribute to the success of my plan. I wont share the details here because its P&C but what i can tell u is that i am looking on the opportunities in franchise business. What and when..hehe..tunggu..insyaallah ada rezeki tak kemana and of course kalau ada umurla..hehe

Something funny happened to me yesterday where i have just discovered a new talent in hairstyling. It all started when my niece wanted me to cut her hair short. Those days, i spend at least once a week at a salon near my place and yeah me being d fussy lady esp when it comes to style my hair, i always observed. So in a way i know how to actually cut a hair but never practice it. hehe..ok..my cute lil sabrina has a very straight hair so what i do was to layer it a bit justto give more volume to her hair so tara...ok tak?
So after cutting sabrina's hair..my mom and my sister were quite impressed and my sister SEELA requested me to do a new styling to her long boring straight hair..hehehe..so this is what i do..i cut her hair short at behind and leave it long at front..ala2 rambut BCL (Bunga Cinta Lestary)..hehe...so let's look what happened to my sister hair...

Tara...a new young and hip look from just a simple hair cut from home..hehe..Wut most important is that my my sister or so called my 2nd customer loves it! alhamdulillah.Okay tak?Hehe..should i consider hair styling as part of my future plan?

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Photo Shoot @ My Cribs :)

2009-01-10T01:07:00.017+08:00

A good start for 2009 when i received a call from the editor of Impiana the Magazine. Thought it was one of those prank call but fortunately it was not. She told me on her intention to publish my humble simple home in Impiana for March Edition. I was excited yet curious. How on earth did they ever find out abt my home. I have no clue.

There'll be another round of photo shoot next week. Jotun as one of the main sponsor of Impiana will paint a corner of the house as a token of thanks i guessed..hehe.. They have decided to repaint my dining area with earth tone color. Most likely brown. If its brown, they surely have my Bright GREEN light.

To whomever recommended my cribs, thanks :)

Something for my kids, Cumi & Cino :)

2009-01-03T17:17:00.010+08:00

I bought this cool 3 in 1 cat's bowl + food container + water dispenser from a local pet shop for rm110.They look good and are really sturdy with top quality plastic. They wash and wear well too. Amazing quality and value for money. I know that Cumi and Cino loves it too as they get to drink fresh water and eat crunchy food all the time! Meeeeeooowwwww~~ isnt it a good thing?

cumi: Mummy, I like! I like! Meeeooowwww~~

US and the city: "Hysterical Nite!"

2008-12-27T21:30:00.016+08:00

Friday nite, KLCC and the three of us, what more can I ask for? It all started of me wanting to watch the recent local horor movie Histeria too much that i have to drag my girls along.haha..unfortunately my good intention of supporting our local industry was not really paid off since histeria the movie does not give me the expectation that i have always envisioned. I guessed watching histeria with my two bestfriends, Qme and Hana was even more hysterical..haha..esp Hana yang Over hiding behind her shawl and suddenly terkejut ng mamat yang tetiba jer lari kat blkg our seats!haha..that was hysterical!

Just after the movie, around 11.30 pm, we went to DOME for a cup of tea. Although it was kinda late but we just need the half n hour time to share just about everyting but definitly no GOSSIPS. Oh yeah did i tell you that hana had this crazy idea of exchanging gifts for the new year? Since its kinda uncertain to meet during new year so we decided to have it on the same nite. But you know what?Such crazy idea can turned out the greatEST! Its was fun getting those little things but indeed very personal. Let the pictures do the talking. Keep on scrolling :)

Yeay...I love Pressies! ...from Qme, a handmade journal album(OMG I was so *%^%$)and mmm~~this lovely gift is from Hana!
this is wut i got for my girls advance new year's gift?Guess what's in the box?TM diary?euww..its so NOT!

Taraaa..its the mirror mirror on the hand..hehe..The Special Edition Anna Sui hand mirror a.k.a cermin Puteri Salju..hahaha.Hope you love it. Thanks girls for the beautiful gifts, for the time and for the 10 great years of friendship. Lots of hugs and kisses!!

My Chin is up..yes im smiling..i had a great weekend. Thank you hubby, Seeda, Seepi and my ex- schoolmates for making my weekend so beautiful and not forgotten to Sheila Majid for making my closing weekend a remarkable one.

Mr Cool Yaddie
My darling Yaddie went abroad for another round of negotiation in Turkmenistan from Monday until Sunday. At first, I was kinda pissed bcoz my two fave people, Seeda & Seepi is coming over this weekend and hubby will not be around..urghh! But One fine Saturday morning, my phone rang, yeah it was my Yaddie and tara..guess what? he was already at Bangkok!..and his flight to KL is about another 2-3 hours.Yeay he made it!

Seeda & Seepi
Seeda & Seepi (Ida & Epi) arrived KL on Friday afternoon. One of our mission over the weekend was for me to learn how to make Seepi's Mom Speciality, Nasi Lemak BJ. So what we did on that Friday nite was to prepare the ingredients for the sambal that involved from cutting the dried chilis into pieces, boiled em',toast em' and blend em!

The next morning, around 6 am, we were all enthusiastically awake and ready to cook nasi lemak. Lots of funny tragedy happened that morning haha but alhamdulillah we managed and successfully made around 20 bungkus of delicous nasi lemak. Around 8.30 am, i started doing the nasi lemak delivery to my MIL(mother in law) and my parents home and yes they loved it!Yes mission accomplished!

My ex-schoolmates
After a rush morning making Seepi & Seeda secret recipe nasi lemak, at abt 11 am, we went to Nandos Ampang Point for our date with our ex schoolmates. It was a last minute plan and yeah last minute plan always turned out GREAT!This is us ex-SMSP:From left Yan, Seeda, Sad, Anis and Me!

Us ( Seeda, Seepi, Yaddie and cute lil Daniel)
At about 1.30 pm we went straight to KLIA to get my Mr Cool Yaddie...(oh baybeh here i come..hehe) Mr Yaddie just cant wait to go home to relish our nasi lemak..hehe..and yes Mr Yaddie said..SEDAPNYA...which means SUKSESS SUKSESS hehe

Sunday came and it was time for Seepi and Seeda to go. I was so sedehh because I wish time wont fly that fast..I wanted to spend more time with them.They left around 8.40 pm.

Sheila Majid
While i was lying on my bed, holding the remote control, really cant decide what to watch, suddenly it was Zoom In with Sheila @ rtm1. Yahooo...I was so happy that i cant stop myself singing until the end of the show.I love Sheila.. Percayalah...hanya kaulah di hatiku...kasih...oh yes, I love you Sheila..I had the greatest weekend ever and now i can sleep with a big grin on my face and off course with my Mr Yaddie by my side. Thank you Allah for this great life. Amin

i miss you..

The black goes into the white house...wohoo....suddenly i felt like goosebumps all over my body...Barrack Obama the 1st ever black man has made a huge history! Looks like McCain turns black and Obama goes white..that's more to it..dont u think so..hehe...i chose to reserve my comments on Obama since its just too early to tell but one thing for sure Obama's victory shd be seen as a decisive rejection of the last eight years of President George W Bush. I guessed its clear that everyone wanted the one same thing..we want the world to be a better place.That's All!

Okay lets get back to my real world, today is Yul's 9th Birthday. Since its wednesday and he is now sitting for a final exam, so we decided to throw his bday party over this weekend at our place. As a host and the party planner, first thing first, i need to get a theme n i was thinking of the color of red n yellow.... no 2. i need to shop at the party shop. After 'google'ing (was that even a word..hehe), oh yeah thanks anisa for helping me google'ing we found a Party Shop called Party Centre at Great Eastern Mall Ampang. So i went there and bought the banner, some party games for kids activities, party hats and lots of Baloons Baloons and balloons. Did u know that the helium baloons can only last for 8 hours. So i can only pick them up a few hours before the party started...lecehkan. So here's how the party stuff looks like.
Thats my hubby, jadi model party banner sekejap..ahaks..comel ni..muahhss!
Okay the rest i shall keep it for the PARTYYY...surprise!surprise! :).....oppss terlupa laks....

here's the birthday boy!! Yul yg kacak lagi hensem...hehehe...

We love you JOBOT!

Balai Risda from our home is very near but it seemed that its so near yet so far. The traffic was really bad, bumper to bumper..the time was ard 2.50pm and we were still stuck on the opposite road of Balai Risda. All of a sudden, my hubby did a very brave impact maximum + evolusi kl drift stunt..haha..i was shocked but TARAAA..terus sampai Balai Risda in split second..ure my hero..haha..i had a great time..really enjoy all the performance. Naufal is 3 years old so his group was the first to perform. Comel Sangat..Enjoy the photos

My Hijra

2008-10-18T18:42:00.008+08:00

A lot of things has happened to me recently...i chose to stay quiet..there are times when u really need to be alone... to get to know myself..to actually find the missing part in me...im in need of soul searching. I wish i could share with everyone what i have gone through but there are things that are better left unsaid.

I'm blessed that the rahma behind the experience of my life has given me the courage to my Hijra'. Alhamdulillah on 17 October, 2008, which fall on Friday, i have decided to wear hijab.

I know it is one of the most difficult decision i have made but i am very certain. I surrender to You, Allah swt. Amin

Oh My Godddddddddd!!

2008-10-06T08:16:00.014+08:00

My physical changes started to scare me...no!! i did not eat a lot..i dont even eat a single lemang, can u believe it? As far as i can remember, i only eat a small portion of ketupat n kuah kacang..but now when i look myself in a miror, i look like ibu beranak sepuluh...ahhh...what is wrong with me??i have not gotten my period since july but i kept getting the single line result....i look as though im pregnant..but nuthing seem certain yet. Boy oh boy.. anyway, despite me being d fatso, alhamdulillah i had a blast raya! seronok sangat raya tahun ni..as usual, we had our yearly raya event, our family bbq session and also sabrina's 5th birthday on the 2nd raya nite.

Lailatul Qadr Nite

2008-09-24T00:14:00.001+08:00

This happened years back..when i was in high school..i think it was 1994 to be exact. My ustazah shared with us on the magical of the holliest and most blessed night, the Lailatul Qadr, which is likely to occur on one of the odd nights on the last ten days of Ramadhan. I can still remember her expression but i cant really remember what she said except that me n my girlfriends, Ida, Sad and Roha got really stunned when our ustazah told us that during the lailatul qadr nite, kesemua tumbuh-tumbuhan,pokok-pokok akan sujud ke bumi..Woo..each and every one of us started to think how great it would be if we get to witness the lailatul qadr nite...(ingat ni malam apa?biasala zaman kanak2)..so we decided to stay up late that night..Roha&Sad came and slept over at my place. That makes it four of us, me, Ida(Ida a.k.a seeda is my cousin n also my roomate), Roha and Saadiah(Sad).This was wut actually happened that night..
After terawih, around 10 pm kita pun beramai2la duduk atas katil, bukak tingkap and enjoying my garden's view..dengan penuh harapan la konon2..the funny part was, siap pasang radio..we were chit chatting sambil tgk2 luar..until it was really2 late..but each and every one of us were still kept our eyes wide open..masih tidak putus asa..sampaila dlm pukul 12.30, my mom came to check us just before she went to sleep..this was her routine..and my mom suddenly gelak tak ingat and she said,

"macam ni nak tgk lailatul qadr, astaghfirullahalazim,mmg confirm tak dapat..kiter kenalah beribadat, baca Alquran ni borak2 siap pasang radio..dah TIDUR!"

With full of frustation inside, masing2 pun tidurlah. It was very funny yet unforgettable. Wut matters most is our niat but off course the way of doing it is also VERY important.Inilah antara kisah zaman kanak2 ribena ku...

In the mood for Raya:feeling blue for raya 2008

2008-09-15T00:12:00.000+08:00

BBQ @Raya 2007

Sayu di hati dengar lagu raya..i feel blue when my mom told me that this year raya is gonna be a bit mellow since my brother may not get to celebrate raya with us due to Nina's health..my best cousin Seeda is celebrating Raya in BJ since its his hubby turn this year (mcm tu la orang dah kahwin..huhu) and my sister Seela will only be back on 3rd raya..my Wanyong and her family has got some other plans that they will not balik kg ..same goes with my fave aunty, Wancu has lots of business during Raya so the likelihood she's joining us at kampung is rather slim.I think i know how my raya gonna turned out this year.
I am now hoping for miracle.p/s:kesian mak n abah, pagi raya tahun ni bersendirianlah nampaknya...
i miss u seela, alish n seeda :~(
..rindu teluk intan jugakkk
