Salam Aidilfitri 2009
helo2..
I hope it's not too late to wish a SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI to all Muslims. Yes, it is 2 days before the big day, but I'm sure most of you dont have anything else in your mind but balik kampung. Goodbye to work, goodbye to city life, goodbye google, goodbye facebook, and goodbye to blogspot.com! How's the preparation anyway? As I am writing this, most of my family members have gathered at rumah atok in Klang. My cute lil cousin called, and I can already hear the kemeriahan at the back of her voice. Oh and yes, I am still at the office, but my mind is straying...thinking about meeting everyone this saturday. Syioknyer..
Well anyways, hope everyone will have a wonderful raya, with family and friends. A friend said yesterday that Raya is overrated? OVERRATED? What crap are you talking about? It should be overrated. Or else, lama2 kita akan lupa kepentingan dan kemeriahan hari raya ini. Yes, it has become less glorious compared to when we were kids, but I believe semangat raya is much more than just putting on a new baju kurung and having boxes and boxes of kuih raya. Think about family. think about forgiving. and think about food! heh yela, food that u dont get to eat on normal days..
I dun care whatver ppl say, I am indulging myself in this raya mood. Kepada sesiapa yang bersedih raya tahun ini, contohnyer ada kehilangan kehilangan ahli keluarga ataupun sahabat handai baru2 ini, takziah diucapkan. Semoga anda dapat ketenangan dan lebih sabar. We had our worst too, so I understand.
Well anyways, pesanan terakhir, kepada rakan2 yang jauh di cambridge, preston, amsterdam, australia, dublin and russia, Salam Perantauan, selamat hari raya..semoga dapat mncari kemeriahan bersama warga malaysia di sana. jangan sedih2, kat sini mmg lagi syiok dr sana. Haha..i obses ngan raya tahun ni, sb last year hampir tidak merasa apa2. dah la duk kat bilik, buat thesis pulak tu! the next saturday baru ade gathering2.n skali my birthday celebration...hm...i miss u all in cambridge lah. ;) takpe, masak best2 ok korang..mohon maaf silap and salah...
kepada yang lain di malaysia, drive carefully! gosok baju raya tu baik2, jgn smpai hangus. tudung kasi liplap sket, biar glamer dr hari yg lain. hehe take lots of pics, i wanna seee... ;) This year baju kurung i kaler purple! Last minute je beli kat plaza shah alam. hehe.
So everyone..look your best di pagi raya nanti! That's the highlight of the whole raya! haha. Have a blast! and may Allah bless you and your loved ones...
Salam Aidilfitri
xoxo

After a long long silence
ya ya ya..plenty to say..but I am seriously in NO mood to write! I miss writing and updating on things, and bloghopping and then leaving comments, and editing pictures to upload in here, and all that sorts, but I dont know where to start this time. The mere reason I'm back is....to wish all of my Muslim friends,
SALAM RAMADHAN!!
- angah and abg azra
- winnie and fazli
- alia and epy
cepat2 dapat baby you all semua kay... ;) ok, that has no relation at all with the coming of Ramadhan, but my point is, semoga murah rezeki korang tahun ini ;)

Just enjoy the show
Cheers to a screwed up life! ;)
The show - Lenka
Slow it down
I'm a fool
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot
Nobody knows
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
And just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show

The Return

Si Motak in my suitcase

Traveling hours normally takes about 5-6hours (i dont remember exactly), and lucky enough we bought the night flight; departing at 12am and expected to arrive at 5.30am in Perth (ok, there you go..it's 5 and a half hours journey). One bad thing is, we did not book for bassinet seats, which means either me or along gonna have to hold this boy for the WHOLE journey. Best takkkk??!! Harap dia tak cranky or sleepless or crying or even worse awake and active! Urghh, this boy is so unpredictable.
The thing is, the mummy (along) had a fever and still feeling dizzy from time to time. Pray for her full recovery or else I'll be taking over the "buat susu" and "tidorkan baby" task. I'm used to it already by now. But in the plane? In the middle of the night? NO NO NO...
Kalau active macam ni, nak buat macam mana?
Geleng-geleng kepala. Cute yet annoying. Haha
Kalau duduk diam-diam macamni kan baguss....good boy..kiddy..kiddy..
Let's hope for the best tomorrow. I haven't finished packing and don't plan to do it tonight. Esok je lah. Tadi susah nak kemas, how can I when this boy loves to play in the suitcase. But he freaked out everytime I tried to shut the lid. Huhu kes bully lagi.Wednesday, 10 June 2009

From Yeah yang agak alagapas

Yeah mmg alagapas kerana telah meng-award-kan friendship award ini tanpa pemberitahuan. Maka, setelah melawat blog beliau dan membaca entry yang ditulis lebih dari sebulan yang lalu, barulah disedari ada award yang menanti.
Busy ek pacik?
Anyway, after reading this post, barulah sedar yang kami pertama kali berjumpa di cybercafe yang disediakan UNISEL secara percuma, called Free-Lab. Hehe. He was monitoring the lab at that time. I believe Imran (his tall brother) was there too? And so my first words uttered were "Nak satu pc?" Muahaha..I tak ingatlah Yeah, but I guess that might be true.
Anyway, Yeah ni mmg baik, penyayang, caring, smart and hardworking. (cukup tak I UP-kan you Yeah?) Haha. We were the bujang-vogey group members, group yang kununnyer terdiri oleh warga UNISEL yang single-mingle aja at that time. We were quite close, I can admit, as he is also a good listener. Not that I have much to whine about. But the point is, he's always supportive.
This guy is truly a good friend. He love girls (haha) and girls love him too. Banyak scandal mamat ni woo. I tak ingat his current affair, there were so many that I have lost track of all the girls's names mentioned. (cewah begitu hebat!) Tapi what matters the most is, IS HE SINGLE OR IS HE NOT?
He is single and available y'all........ muahaha
Yeah, cukup tak promosi I ni? ;) Anyway, he is afterall a good friend. Tak sempat lagi lepak ngan you kerana dia ni busy sesangat. Bila mau jumpa 'girfren' di Shah Alam, sila singgah di extreme park ok, belanja burger king satu. Heh
Ok, panjang plak entry promosi Yeah ni. Thanks again for the award. No, I am not the best blogger, but I can be your best friend. ;) Take care dude!

Long-due post : Birthday partay!
This is another post that I should have posted weeks ago. It's about a birthday party for the two newcomers in the family, who are......
the nephew, MAHER aka Motak...a big ONE!
and
the brother in law, Abang Azra who turned a bigger 29 years old!!!
.................................................
Me and Dayana in action! At the party and baloons shop! 
Crazy girls on the loose ;P
The cake was an easy job. But to drive back all the way to Klang with 20 balloons in the car without any extra hand??
DO NOT TRY THIS STUNT EVER!
I'm telling you, boley accident wooo. The balloons would bump over one another and not to mention that they freaking FLOAT! So you are practically blinded from your surrounding. Back mirror, side-mirror, hilang....Alhamdulillah, as you can imagined I arrived safely ;)
*************************************
So the party began
The birthday boys with their Birthday cake.Cake sponsored by makngah. The lettering "AZRA & MAHER" tu sponsored by Mak Ann (me) using fondant. Muuahaha, paling murah but it certainly enhanced the overall look of the cake.
;P
The grandma and aunties of Maher, putting their best pose. As usual, budak motak tu takde feeling. I don't think he's aware that all the baloons and food and whatnot are meant for him. Hehe
Acara memotong cake. Maher tak reti tiup lilin pun, so mummy did it for him.Notice the huge number 29 and 1 on the cake? That's not another fondant. I intended to creat one like that for this party, but me and along found those cute candles in tesco (or giant?) and they are exremely cheap. 90sen ke satu hinggit tah. Tapi cute la. So we grabbed those too.
The pary ended well. With few games for the kids and karaoke sessions for all aunties and uncles amd among the cousins. Tapi tema malam itu adalah dangdut ONLY okay...and we couldn't pick the songs. They were picked randomly for us. (okk memang kepoh). Haku dipaksa mnyanyikan lagu Rindy by Amelina!!!
Crazy or wat...tapi hentam sajalah. We had great fun. Thanks to Anty2 and uncle2 yang bakar ayam ikan kambing and ape2 saja that night. I loike!
Good night people!
Long-due post : My bestfriend's wedding
anyways, because the preparation for this trip was quite a last minute one, I did not realize that I've missed to update one very special occasion - Winnie's Wedding on April 30th to May 2nd. Sorry babe, I owe you this one.
Oleh kerana terlalu banyak cerita dah accumulate by now, I decided to just pile up the pictures in proper chronology and let the pictures speak on their own. Also, the pictures are so wonderful that it would be a waste not to post them up.
Again, to Puan Winnie, Selamat pengantin baru!!! Please make time for the girls and spare us some gossips and hot hot hot news. Muahaha
Love ya!
Friday morning, pada hari buruh itu, I was sent to Serdang to meet up with the driver and co-pilot for the trip to Bentong, where the solemnization ceremony took place; Rauda and Dayana. We picked up Selvi from somewhere around there and continue our drive to Bentong. Mak oii, jam di Genting Sempah. We almost couldn't make it on time. Sorry win, kami sampai just on time, I think it was 10minutes to 3pm. Dah lah bawak doorgift suma. ;) Pastu lagi best, macik oda and layana tu pulak pakai jeans and shirt lagi. So sampai2, terpaksala pinjam blik pngantin and few minutes later they both are properly dressed for the ceremony.
The bride, and the hantarans which she crafted herself, along with two other friends. Until today I am still amazed! Well done!
The newly-wed in the limelight; win in her traditional java dress for malam berinai; and us playing around with her room decorations. Boy, I dressed up accordingly to the theme - red. Nice!and on the next day.....
Reception ceremony. Again, I put on a baju kurung same colour with the bride. I'm starting to think that I'm part of the family. Hehe..No worries, of course seri pengantin tak dapat dikalahkan.
Reception on the groom side in Kelana Jaya. Winnie looked stunning on this day! We did not stop talking about it until after the event. This was a very happy occasion for all of us too, as an addition to winnie's big day, we got to meet up with the rest of the geng and other UNISEL colleagues.

Beautiful Classmates. Rauda couldnt make it on this day. So did Selvi, Zuleen and Radin. Kenn, Hang and Adi are not in the pictures, but I'm glad they came on that day.
Friends and old-gang...
Bottom-centre pic, we were the bujang-vogey club members. Kununnyer the singletons time di Unisel. OK, mmg tah hape2..now semua dah berpunya (dan hampir berpunya). Haha
To Pa'a, best gila dapat jumpa!
So, that is all folks. Again, I wish winnie and Fazli a happy wedded life, semoga berkekalan ke akhir hayat dan dimurahkan rezeki. May Allah bless you both always.
Until the next entry, have a great sunday people! ;)

You don't own me!
- myself - because generally I have always felt this way about most things (but this time it's not about me)
- and rather more special to Along - as a wake up call, as a reminder, for your new strength, hope, and for an anticipated wonderful beginning....
- Sesungguhnya setiap sesuatu yang berlaku itu ada hikmahnya
- We love you and will back you all the way........
And don't tell me what to do
You don't own me
I don't tell you what to say
I'm young, (I'm young)
You Don't Own Me...
Note 1: A**** bukan Asraf yer...LOL
Note 2: A healthy relationship is a matter of balance..in every sense..
God...I am beyond upset....!! We were drenched in tears (me and along) while sitting in the car in the car porch. I have never felt such deep hatred towards anyone. And when I do, you just crossed the line.
So now, I am proud to announce that you are officially the first on my MOST-HATED-PEOPLE LIST! Period.

A day with Cupcakekasih
Anyway.....back to 2009...
Did I mention that I have a new addiction? It is a little cute-creamy-sugary-thing happened to be known as cupcakes! I was aware that cupcakes are the in thing nowadays, but only after unintentionally arrived at this blog (because of its captivating name), I instantly fell in lurrve with them...Dengarkan saja nama blog ini, cupcakekasih...don't you want to have a peek at its contents? Well, I did. And FYI, kasih is the name of the owner's daughter. Another addition to beautiful (and uncommon) names like cinta and jelita. I loike! ;)
So..after skimming through the blog, I found out that Kak Jun (the blog owner) offered cupcake decorating classes for beginners! It was an impulsive decision to join the class but it felt right, because I didn't have any reasons not to! So, I wrote an email to Kak Jun to enquire about the class right away.
Kami berbalas email, and last week, I finally reached USJ 4 for my first cupcake class. Needless to say, I was super-excited! :D
I arrived there around 10.10 in the morning. Because the routes in USJ are alien to me, I got lost twice! Well, no surprise there! Hehe Anyway, the other girls arrived 20 minutes later I think, so I had the chance to chit chat with Kak Jun. She had a lively personality so everything felt at ease. Having a background as a journalist/editor of the famous Malaysian magazine, JELITA for 15 years, I am sure she has mastered the art of conversation and making guests feeling comfortable.
Around 11am, we took our place at the round table and started with introduction on buttercream. No need for me to explain in detail here, experience it for yourself when you join her class.
This is Farhy, a wartawan penyiaran from Gombak. PLEEEAASSEE say they look like what they are supposed to be. Kalau mushroom tu nampak macam payung and teddy bear nampak macam penguin, sah haku fail! Haha
In the end, we snapped a photo with our 'art-work' and the teacher, Kak Jun (last right)
After 5, we had tea together and then I rushed back with 10 decorated cupcakes in hand. Sangatlah excited to show to my family. ;o) I am really glad I attended the class, because few days before that, siap termimpi-mimpi pasal cupcakes. Now, sudah tidur lena.............. LOL
Wonder how well your sculpturing talent? Try fondant! Hehe
I am so indulged with this cute little thing right now, so back off! Let me explore the creative side of me, even if it'd take ages to create a masterpiece. Hehe
Back to the phrase that I always hold on to, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". Even if it is a simple thing as cupcakes, you have to belieeeeeevvve..... LOL
Have fun people!
*Kak Jun made an entry in her blog on our decorating class, check this page to learn more about it.....

When best friends meet
I can still remember the first few words uttered by Farah. They sounded more or less like this, “Hi, tempat ni kosong tak?” while pointing to an unoccupied seat beside me. I said takde, and so she settled down beside me. We had to wait for the first tutor to arrive, so without feeling awkward we exchanged names and started to break the ice…
You know the feeling when you came into a room full with unfamiliar faces. The first thing to do was to get to know each other. Most likely, you will get along with the first person you talk to, true? If he/she happened to be a pleasant one to be with, that person would be your next best friend.
THAT’s exactly the case for me and Farah…
Alhamdulillah..kami sekarang sudah menjadi "orang", bak kata Alia. Farah was the best student for her batch (in IT), Alia has succesfully made her way to completing a masters degree in UPM with a patent (the fruit peeler) and won an award for that too, and I am grateful to be at a place where I have never imagined going for masters. All in all, we did learned our lessons...and we learnt it the hard way. I guess that's the one thing the three of us have in common.
Alia and her most expensive rib-eye steak. Pastu tak habis! Grr..mentang2lah kami belanja
Alia and her surprise birthday cake! Alia responded only a few seconds later after she finally realized the singing was meant for her! Huhu Minah blur

NONE
After a week break, we finally resume our lesson. To begin with, I was away for 3 days on a trip to Surabaya with Atok and Abang (my younger brother). The trip was so-so...not very exciting, I would say. Makanya, enggak ada mood untuk update about it. Anyway, after returning from Surabaya, I was unwell. Poor kids, no class for the whole week! I have to admit that I did miss them. So today, mood Miss J sangatlah baik, although tantrum strikes towards the end of class. Heh
Around 7pm, Winnie came to fetch me and off we go to Alam Sentral, Shah Alam to go sponge-hunting. Hah, the bride-to-be is experiencing the final phase of wedding preparations - NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, ANXIETY and PANICK ATTACKS. The wedding is only 3 weeks away and as expected things start to get out of hand. But I think, she did quite alrite with only the little things like wedding favours to be sorted out. So..hang in there Winnie...I'm sure everything will be just fine. We had a good time chatting about the past, the future and going through the itinery for majlis akad nikah and reception. Can't wait! And I've got a purple dress to compliment the ceremony. Chewah...."compliment the ceremony"? What the fish?? LOL
So, overall today was quite fun. Only one sad news in the morning... My friend's mother passed away at 3.40 am in Ipoh after being diagnosed with cancer. This was one hell of a shocking news. We chatted over the phone just few days ago. One thing that she did mentioned was about the condition of her mother - just OK! Tiba2 this morning berita sedih ni pulak. I truly feel sorry for her. Sabar ye intan...We all doakan agar ibu intan ditempatkan di kalangan orang yang beriman..Al-Fatihah
That's all for now. Have a good nite sleep, people. I hope I'll have mine!

Little that I know about teaching...
Sometime in december, I was asked, "ann, would you teach my kids?"
I gave a prompt (and sincere) answer, "I am more than happy to teach them".
I knew then what I was about to deal with; two kids (boy, 12 and girl, 15) both with really REALLY poor grades, obviously far left behind in school if compared to their counterparts, has no motivation, low confidence, lack of attention, has no focus (ini mendatangkan marah!), and the worst part is....they seem to have a memory that last for maybe...24 hours??!
Arrgghh!!!
Contohnye yer...
After a lenghty-detailed-explanation on let's say, division (mathematics).. bila ditanya faham tak, dijawabnye faham! Then bagi homework so they can practise at home - all answered correctly! OK, so I thought I did a good job and convinced that my teaching method was easy to follow.
Now......try to ask the same question again the next day?
SURPRISEE!!!!!
All memory gone! Bagaikan kami tidak pernah bersua!
Tensi atau tidak haku??
Thanks to them, I think I've lost a few kilos in a month and yerp, ageing faster than ever! Mentally and physically! Pakai L'Oreal anti-wrinkle pun tak jalannyer! (According to Along, by the age of 25 dah boley start pakai anti-wrinkle cream. hehe) Frowning every now and then, I expect a permanent wrinkles on the forehead!
Habit budak kecik ini yang suke berkerut.
So....if this was a bad idea, how come I agreed to take up the challenge and happily (well not really these 2 days) spend my every evenings with them?
My first reason? Because they are my own cousins. I feel that I (or other family members) have the responsibility to help these kids. Kalau depa ni budak2 normal takpe. Tapi ini special case. Bayangkan, the girl used to be dyslexia. She couldn't read until standard 5, so now she is slowwwwly coping with the subjects. And the boy is hyperactive where he can't or refuse to sit still and listen! Tell me how you can catch a cloud and pin it down? I'm thinking.....rotan? Heh heh heh...It's dissasterous since they started teaching mathematics and science in English! Hah, nak story pasal their english lesson kene entry lain..sakit hati..sakit hati!

How to do it:
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
1 - I am currently jobless, bored and lost! - not anymore, I have found a new small project for now. It's a big responsibility...not bored and have small goals every week! ;D
2 - For the first time in my life, I weigh 60 kilograms! Wuhuu...optimal weight according to BMI test okk. - skrg entah, feels perfectly fine ;)
3 - Just started taking supplements. Thanks to 'Dr.' Asraf who has always been worried sick about my health condition. Feels much better now. But sir, I think that's the reason behind the weight gained. (eceh..salahkan pill pulak) ;D
4 - I had (notice the word HAD?) a resolution to order only plain water everytime I dine at restaurants/mamak. The trial period was for a month. Got through only the first week! Hehe - still unsuccessful!
5 - Milo Ais is my favourite! That explains the failure for resolution no.4 ;)
6 - Got a new resolution now - I'm reducing the consumption of eggs. Reason? Normal intake would be 5 eggs per week.And me? I normally take 14 eggs per week. Unbelievable kan!Cholesterol people..euww... - yup, berjaya me-reduce eggs intake to i dunno how much per week, but it's less than before . weheee
7 - My family said I'm a junk collector. I think I do..but they are actually cute stuffs that have no functions whatsoever.
8 - I believe I own more than 40 scarves/tudungs. Hehe But my cambridge labmates were annoyed by the fact since I only wear white most of the time. - am more colourful now..and verified - i own more than 60 scarves now! Haha..but letting go 10 of them...
9 - White or coloured, I'm totally conscious about the state of the tudung I'm wearing. It has to be pointed, and aligned! Not to the left, not to the right. - nothing's changed
10 - That makes me alert to mirrors too ;D
11 - I L.O.V.E bags more than anything! I think, I bought more than 15 last year alone. ;) - and scarves when come to think of it

15 - I think Amsterdam is a very cool place! But I love the mess in london! However, cambridge is very dear to me, more than anywhere else in the UK! Haha So bias! - insyaAllah will be back for a short visit. Yeeha!
16 - That reminds me of...the stupidest thing I've ever done - I accidently deleted the whole pictures of me and Asraf for the visit to london for the first time ever! Rasa bersalah still tak hilang until now! Sorry sorry sorry again! - unforgiven
