Sembuhlah Nurfatimah sayang...



Setiap manusia pasti diuji..dan tahap ujian pasti berbeza mengikut kemampuan penerimanya. Dan kala ini, sahabat baik saya.. khadijah dan suaminya berdepan dgn ujian yang rasanya tak mampu saya hadapi jika saya di tempat mereka. Malah saya tak mampu untuk membayangkannya...


Beberapa hari lalu..saya terima sms dari hairin tentang nurfatimah yg dimasukkan ke ICU dengan punca yang tidak diketahui. Saya terpana dan tak terkata. Ape yang berlaku sebenarnya? Saya khabarkan pada suami dan mengajak saya ke hospital putrajaya. Saya resah... saya tak tahu mcmana nak berbicara dan menenangkan dijah.. dan saya belum mampu dan belum kuat melihat keadaan nur fatimah.. Tambahan saya tak mahu membawa hana ke hospital. Maka saya tangguhkan niat menziarah. Keesokannya saya cuba telefon dijah sebab hati meluap2 ingin berbicara dengan beliau..tapi call di'reject'.. masa kurang sesuai barangkali. Tak apa..saya memahami... Hari itu, saya masih belum 'ingin' melihat nur fatimah... hari demi hari..saya terima berita perkembangan nurfatimah lewat sahabat2 yg tahu...

Kelmarin..suami saya menyatakan hasrat nak ziarah nurfatimah ketika dlm perjalanan pulang dari ofis di cyberjaya.. Saya menunggu2 suami pulang utk tau perkembangan nurfatimah.. Suami ceritakan yang sedih dan pilu... dan dijah bertanyakan saya di mana? Saat itu, saya rasa bersalah yang begitu tebal kerana menangguh2kan keinginan saya... Maka esoknya saya mengajak suami sekali lagi menziarah nurfatimah....


Maka semalam, saya mengumpul kekuatan, menabahkan hati utk melihat keadaan nurfatimah... suami memesan.." nanti jangan nangis ye"... saya diamkan. Debaran bila melihat hospital, hanya Allah aje yg tau.. apetah lagi bila melangkah ke wad ICU. Ramadhan menyambut kehadiran kami sekeluarga. Dan saat saya melihat nurfatimah dari luar kamar ICU.. airmata mula bergenang. Khadijah bersama nurfatimah dan seorang pelawat yang tidak saya kenali. Saya harus menunggu giliran selepas fadzir dan isteri. Tak
apa..sabarrr...

Akhirnya giliran saya tiba... dan saya masuk bersama seorang wanita yg tidak juga saya kenali. Saya mendekati katil nurfatimah... dan perkataan pertama saya setelah melihat anak kecil itu " AllahuRabbi".. lalu deraslah airmata saya mengalir2..tak tertahan2, ingin saja saya memeluk bayi kecil yang dipenuhi dengan tiub2 di sana sini.. nurfatimah, apelah yang telah membawa kamu jadi sebegini sayang? dadanya berdegup tapi degup itu dari mesin. Matanya bengkak dan bibirkan kering dan layu. Ya ALlah... sangat meruntun naluri keibuan saya. Saya tersedu sedan di dalam kamar. Hati saya tak lekang merayu padaNya agar mengurniakan keajaibanNya pada anak itu. Kemudian wanita di depan saya pula menangis..


10 minit di dalam kamar itu, saya dan wanita itu keluar. Saya masih belum selesai tersedu sedan. Dan saya lihat khadijah yang tadinya tenang..pun sama mengalirkan airmata. Ya Allah, harapnya saya tidaklah melemahkan semangat dijah dgn esakan saya. Dijah yang menenangkan saya dgn kekuatan jiwanya. Sifat husnuzzhannya lebih kuat berbanding saya.. Dijah memberitahu yang jururawat meminta ibu bapa nurfatimah untuk bermalam di hospital kerana kondisi nurfatimah yang semakin lemah. Sedu saya datang kembali. Dijah meminta izin utk menemani nurfatimah dan saya terus berlalu mendapatkan
hana dari suami saya. Saya peluk hana dan menangis kembali. Hana hanya tersengih2 dan menarik2 tudung saya. Kemudian saya ke bilik menunggu dan bertemu ibu dijah dan ramadhan...berbicara lebih kurang dan meminta izin utk pulang memandangkan laungan azan maghrib sudah kedengaran.

Saya serahkan hana pada suami dan kembali ke ruang ICU untuk bertemu dijah sebelum pulang. Dari luar kamar ICU, saya melihat Ramadhan sedang berbicara dgn nurfatimah diselang seli dengan bacaan alquran. Tersentuh hati saya walaupun tidak mendengar butir bicara ayah nurfatimah dan melihat nurfatimah kaku tidak membala
s... Kemudian dijah mengusap muka nurfatimah dan berbicara. Airmata saya kembali laju... Saya tidak mahu mengganggu masa berharga mereka dan menunggu hingga salah seorang mereka keluar. Dan akhirnya, setelah 10 minit..Ramadhan keluar dari kamar ICU dan saya meminta izin utk pulang sambil menyatakan harapan agar Allah menetapkan yang terbaik buat mereka sekeluarga..dan mudah2an yang terbaik itu gembira. Ramadhan mengucapkan terima kasih atas ziarah kami dan kami pulang dengan kesayuan.

Dan sejak itu..sehingga kini, wajah mulus seorang bayi yang sedang bertarung dengan nyawa sentiasa bermain di fikiran saya... dan saya sentiasa d
irundung kesedihan yang teramat bila mengenangkannya. Saya lebih emosi dalam doa saya kepada nurfatimah berbanding anak saya sendiri.. :'( Kenapa?.. kerana saya tahu..rasa naluri seorang ibu yang baru mendapat anak pertama ! Ya Allah...permudahkanlah urusan keluarga mereka, rahmatilah mereka dengan kegembiraan..kerana mereka adalah antara hamba2Mu yang teguh keimanannya... :'(

'Eid Edition : 1st Episode






Wahh..seems like most of my blogger frens already shared their raya stories. And right now... I cant even think of arranging plots for my raya tales to be jotted down here. Tonnes of work to do and I have to chase deadline on next Friday (9/10/09). For the whole week I keep my attention totally on doing them ( too many to describe here )..but..at this particular moment, I really wanna do something else rather than focusing on current task. So..lets take a look at some part of my raya new experience. Why new? yeah..absolutely ..definitely coz of my sweet daughter, Raihana Izzati :)


The day before raya (Saturday)..


I was busy being a chef at mom in-law's house. Started right on the afternoon after I came by.. we started to cook some common raya menus : I did the sambal goreng (javanese dish - johorean should know this ), kuah kacang and kuah lodeh. I left the main course (rendang ayam) to the senior chef : mama...hehehe :) (Instant)Nasi impits were done by father in-law. Hubby? heee... 'deal' with Hana for sure. We finished everything at 6 o'clock and alhamdulillah.. the last fast-breaking of Ramadhan completely done. Ramadhan left us behind and will only come back next year.. If permissible, insyaAllah.. we'll meet again :'( So.. after maghrib prayer, we had the 'salam-salam' event together.. and I received my 1st (and last) duit raya from my in-laws..hehe, thanks mama + ayah :) After that 'forgiving' and switching duit hari raya event, we perform solat isyak and 'eid takbir.. Right after that, we started our balik kampung journey to Alor Gajah. This year is our turn to spend 1st day of raya at my kampung.. and part of all my worries began : Can Hana stand the situation???


Arrived at Alor Gajah almost at 10.30pm.. The balcony was fulled with my relatives.. Hana still steady (hahaha). After a minute I put her in her walker..she walked away a bit and suddenly I heard she cried... Hehe, she was pinched by her 1 year old pakcik..hahahahaha :D pity her... My dad (hana's atok) entertained her while I helped at the kitchen. Hubby?.. sebuk nak maen mercun and hanging with my unmarried + married but mcm budak2 punye cousins :D Overall, hana's performance was quite good that night. She slept soundly in her moyang's room and that went by peacefully (everyone was still tired of their own journey I guess).



1st day of Raya...
1 Syawal 1430..


Everyone woke up early that morning.. definitely for 1 purpose : ETR - Entering Toilet Race.. hahaha :) a normal situation in raya morning. Best people took the very early turn, done with shower and perform prayer at masjid ( my dad, my hubby and grandfather). Lucky people still took the early turn and able to perform subuh prayer on a correct time and those not-too-lucky did the 'subuh gajah' prayer.. hehehe..
Then, everyone had their short breakfast before rushed to mosque. Early birds gained the best place while late birds (hahaha) perform 'eid prayer next to the mosque stairs, balcony, even toilets :) And where was I?? hehe... preparing my hana to look stunning before 'salam-salam' event with everyone :) hehehe... then.. the event started...



Visiting houses..



On that day.. we visited 6 houses around alor gajah. And on the last house, hana and me looked very 'selebet' and 'merengas'.. she was very tired coz of her uncertain sleep schedule, dealt(cried) with people who tried to hold her, feeling hot in crowded houses.. and I also got selebet coz of calming her from keep crying. She pulled my tudung, my baju when tried to defend herself from been taken by others..hehe, syian ye... :)


Much worst, after the visits ended.. as I reached my nenek's house. My cousins began the 'main mercun' session..arghh!! I H.A.T.E this part... unfortunately, my hubby took part in this session. What can I say?? I can only nagging myself... Hana was very tired and she couldn't sleep coz of the blasting sounds.. what's the consequence? she whined laa kan??..For God sake! ayooo... at last she slept after those 'gentlemen' had their late nite supper at warung. And the nite gain her peaceful back...



2nd & 3rd day of raya..


More relax than yesterday... everyone was taking their time, had breakfast and watch tv.. most of the relatives already headed to in-laws house and so will us... That afternoon, we had to meet mama & ayah at Garden Hotel, Batu Pahat. So .. after gave farewell greet to my family and the rest of relatives, we began our journey to batu pahat (bp) at 10.30 o'clock a.m. Hana slept all the way from alor gajah to BP..still tired perhaps.. And I can say that she was completely tired for the whole 2 days in BP + Neg.9. She always cried.. and she woke up at night and cried, she cant eat properly.. and the saddest part, she became very passive before we reach N9. Very quiet and keep hugging me. I cant stand of seeing her like that.. Right after we reached hubby's aunt's house.. I took hana to bath. Then after that, she regain her energy :) After maghrib, we rushed to Serdang as everyone of us started to had a headache, moody and 'badan melekit2'.. hehehe. Hana enjoyed her meal that nite so much by finishing the whole mangkuk of nestum. Hahaha... and we ended that nite with early went to sleep.


So, the evaluation for Alor Gajah & BP ???


- Hana was .. OK la..except for BP and N9.
- We should have a good supply of water, especially to bath hana if she already whined in the middle of journey. I think R & R are not too suitable right? Quite dirty...
- We should prepare more for the uncertain condition especially dealing with Hana's tiredness.
- Maybe should standby more of refreshments for ourself?
But.. next year Hana will be 1 year ++ .. the 'ragam' should be lesser ..rite? hopefully :)


p/s : Piccas will be attached soon.. I lost my phone cable :p

And Ramadhan comes to the end...


Salam to all...


Rainy morning,quite peaceful..yet still facing traffic jammed road as usual :) Seems like people still attached to daily works, but maybe within 'raya' mode...just like myself. Theeeheee :D... If I'm not considering my annual leave balance (which I got only a few more).. Surely I'll be enjoying holiday spree this week, playing with my Hanapet and prepare my home for the upcoming raya...instead of sitting at my office and staring my pc for the whole day and do nothing (err..actually, there r a lot of work to do but i didn't do it :p )


Samat ari raye cacik2(pacik macik) sumer... Jgn lupe dtg umah Hana yer...

Err...nothing interesting to share out. This Ramadhan passed by with serenity. As we are heading towards the end of it, lots of syawal sign (raya ler) embarked. I cant avoid my feelings from the joyful and excitement (konon nak concentrate Ramadhan..huhu). The most exciting is to find Hana's raya clothes. I planned to find some dress and gowns for her but luckily she got all of them from her atok2s and nenek2s... And now she has almost 7 pairs of dress+ tshirts and gowns for 'melaram'..hahaha :D sorry, didn't take the photos... and now, I'm waiting for her baju kurung to be done by her nenek sedara. Huu... tak sabor...




Hmm..to cut this short, we would like to wish SELAMAT HARI RAYA to all our friends, near and far... May this 'Eid brings so much happiness to each and everyone of us. Forgive us for any of our misdeeds against all of u.


We will be celebrating 1st day of 'eid at Melaka then the next day will be at Batu Pahat, insyaAllah. Return to KL on the 3rd day and back to work on 5th day of 'eid. Heee... very simple schedule. Pls..do visit us, okay? :) Have a safe journey on ur balik kg trip...and keep ur health on the good track as we know what is still spreading among us ;)

Independence Day...

A hectic morning... finalizing some papers to be presented on meeting at 9.30 a.m . Then just got a call from Mr.Haji The Boss (not sivaji ok) regarding budget issues. I have to prepare 'em before 2.30 p.m . And I'm veeery sleepy right now after long 'munaqasyah' with my hubby thru the phone..hiihihihi. Just jotting simple thing about my special Ramadhan day on 31st August 2009..ngeee :) Nothing..too special but still.. I want perpetuate the memory in this blog ;)



Happy (belated) 52nd Independence Day


Our beloved country stepped into 52 years of independence on last 31st august. But sadly speak, each years shows a graph of decreasing spirit of understanding the real meaning of 'independence' especially among youngsters. It is displayed throughout one whole year..not on that very day (31st August - of cos, respecting Ramadhan). Crime cases, moral & social issues, political issues, health issues, economic issues.. nothing demonstrate that we are shifting our country into a better level year after year. I'm not being pesimist but.. there are no a distinct aspect that make me really proud to be a Muslim Malaysian this year and few years back.


But what I like most about this year independence celebration is...it happened in Ramadhan and therefore, no (ridiculous) countdown event - I said ridiculous because they started with concert, countdown, shouting MERDEKA, launching fireworks...and went back home stucked in traffic jammed or worse.. spend the night in hotels, got drunk, etc. Just not the right way to celebrate an important historical event in our country. At least... in Ramadhan, those unnecessary and empty-hearted celebration will not happened and filled with something more useful - tarawih & tadarrus ( The better way to express joy & thanksfulness to Allah for the day).


Independence Day special menu..

Hehe.. I poured my heart and soul in preparing food for sahur and ifthar as I had much time to spent (public holiday). Here they are..taraaaaa :



Cili padi fried rice + fried egg for sahur (The rice was really HOT!)



Chicken rice for ifthar...yummy!! (chicken rice is my fav)


Whenever I cook chicken rice.. my mind straightly sailed to Bonda Soup Corner (BSC) memories in 2004. BSC was a PMIUM food stall in UM's Convo week. And one of the main course there was Chicken Rice.. beside the main menu - of cos, variety kind of soup. I was in charge of preparing chicken rice every day. Actually not totally preparing the whole procedure as puchasing raw ingredients were made by the boys. I only did the cooking (the rice, cooked the marinated chicken and did the sauces) while the marvellous soup was made by my senior - Ust Ashraf Zulkifli- using his secret ingredients ;) The experiences of handling a part of food business is really memorable.. and not forgetting the exhaustion part too... really major!! Cooking 4-5 trip of chicken rice set in large amount every day, dealt with the heat and lifted heavy things. I got totally flat at night and woke up early in the morning to cook again. Pheww.. luckily it only last within a week.. :) What a sweeeet memory.. ok.. have to go now.. enough of food talking, make my mouth watery..hihihi :)

As we are stepping into the 2nd phase of Ramadhan.. I hope the energetic momentum from the 1st phase will still remain and not dissolved by the Hari Raya mode. There are a lot more to catch up and a lot more to improvise our ibadah. Pray for all Muslims out there.. and have a blessed Ramadhan :)

Some short views over Kartika's issue..





The very 1st thing I do after switching on my PC & get connected to net @ my office..is to scroll down issues on online newspapers. But yesterday.. there was an issue that really captured my attention and turned on my curiosity. It was Kartika's whipped sentence that has been temporarily aborted due to fasting month. And there was our 'beloved' PM directly adviced Kartika to appeal and not to simply accept (redha) the sentence. What the heck??!!.. Is that true that statement had been said by a Malaysian Muslim leader when she was obviously breaking the Islamic law and pleaded guilty?? Really a pathetic statement in this Ramadhan as well as the becoming 52nd Independence Day. For those who is unaware about this issue.. Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor, a muslim model is carrying out 6 canes sentence and fined for drinking beer in public. The whip sentence was supposed to be carried out yesterday but was aborted due to (uneacceptable) reason : Respect the fasting month. Ramadhan is suppose to be the best time for any muslim who choose to purify sins, repent for the past mistakes and learn good lessons indeed. U do the math laa..



And the advice to appeal by PM display some preface of One Malaysia concept and send a goodbye message to the previous Islam Hadhari concept :). I believe that he's just in pressure state when this Kartika issue steal a bit limelight in international level. And much worse.. this issue has create stress in negative ways including an occurrence of a Facebook account listed as 'HELP KARTIKA SARI DEWI SHUKARNO'. I admit it is very hard to make people understand especially non-muslim that this kind of sentence and punishments are only applicable on muslim and has nothing to do with human right violation. It is some obligation in Islamic law to protect and prevent bad condition. As a leader, PM is also carrying a title of Muslim leader. As a matter of fact, he's obliged to explain seriously about Islamic Law which mean no harm to anybody unguilty... Not to confront the law in order to prevent negative views. The means of being a prime leader is to have power to execute right thing, not being such a defensive and too considering unnecessary angles. In other simple word = BRAVE ! I think, many alcohol drinkers are smiling out there.."yey, we have our saviour!"


Alaahai SIS...



Another superficial research and view being released by Sisters In Islam (again). It is sad to see that such group are given quite big space to express their feminisme thought. I mean they really come out with 'something' whenever issues relating to Syariah Court being raised. And whatever they brought is never engaged with the correct Islamic guidelines as they dont looked into the essential sources and only based on current situation and logical thinking (with some hints of feminisme emotion - It really shows ladies!)




This year...


Independence Day only bring sadness to me as we reached 1000 backward steps regarding social issues.


Ramadhan and Syawal also would never bring so much joy as the H1N1 is being massively transmitted in Malaysia. Currently, one of my relative is fighting really bad to this infectious threat. Her lungs and kidneys already failed to work and latest news yesterday, she has only 20% chances to survive :( Ya Allah..bless her with some miracle.. For me, H1N1 is a sign of His anger and warn. Everybody is open to be attacked regardless good or bad people.


"Daripada Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a., Rasullulah s.a.w. bersabda: "Apabila umatku telah membuat lima belas pekara, maka bala pasti akan turun kepada mereka, iaitu :


1. Apabila harta negara hanya beredar kepada orang-orang tertentu.
2. Apabila amanah dijadikan suatu sumber keuntungan.
3. Zakat dijadikan hutang.
4. Suami yang menuruti kehendak isteri.
5. Anak derhaka kepada ibunya.
6. Sedangkan ia berbaik-baik dengan kawannya.
7. Ia suka menjauhkan diri daripada ayahnya.
8. Suara sudah ditinggikan di dalam masjid.
9. Yang menjadi ketua satu kaum adalah yang terhina di antara mereka.
10. Seseorang yang dimuliakan kerana ditakuti kejahatannya.
11. Khamar (arak) sudah diminum di merata tempat.
12. Kain sutera banyak dipakai (oleh kaum lelaki)
13. Para artis disanjung (menjadi pujaan).
14. Muzik banyak dimainkan.
15. Generasi akhir umat ini melaknat (menyalahkan) generasi pertama (sahabat). Maka pada ketika itu hendaklah mereka menanti angin merah atau gempa bumi ataupun mereka akan di ubah menjadi makhluk yang lain."


H.R. Tarmizi.


Ting..ting.. we scored FULL MARKS!! :'( :'(

..and More Events...

2nd Event : Family Gathering @ Alor Gajah.




Nenek & Atok invited us to kenduri of welcoming the Ramadhan month at Alor Gajah, Melakau. It was held on last weekend. This event was very looked forward as we haven't balik kampung since last 2++ months ( when Hana was 4 months old). I bet they missed Hana so much.. seems like that when my Atok will asked the very same question when he called me.. "Anak ekau dah pandai apo?" hehehe... And for Hana, this is her 2nd time visiting her moyangsss..:p I wonder what would it be like..becoz :-



1. The weather is quite hot there...especially in the afternoon.(But really cool and chilly at night) As a 'Bandar' baby who sleep in air-conditioned room..could she behave in such weather??



2. Hana dislike strangers..especially if she notice that she is with somebody unfamiliar. She will be pissed-off.. so, could she bear with people who don't understand her dislikes???



3. Usually Hana's daily life are with 2 person the least (me & hubby) and 6 people the most (maktok,paktok,acik wani, acik nadiah + us). So, what if there are 40++ people around her???



4. Hana sleep around 9 - 10 o'clock every night in a quiet and chill room. So, if the night is till 'happening' till 12 - 1 a.m? Can she sleep in peace??



And the answers are :-



1. Yess.. she really cant stand the heat. She whined, scrathing her itchy head (rash probably) and cried till we have to take her away from the house for a while.. we headed to Mak Itam's house, and there..she played and slept in Mak Itam's room + aircond for 2 hours!!



2. Again..yes, she cried when she saw unfamiliar face held her. The consequence was.. I had to be with her almost all the time. Luckily.. she still dont mind if her atok & nenek replaced me for a while. Phewwww....



3. The bright part :) She liked the merrier but with one condition.. dont hold her. She will 'talk' and smile to anyone who greeted her but dont rushingly took her away from me..she would cry...aiyyaaa... :)



4. No... she hardly slept that night becoz children were still running here and there, yelling.. old folks still making jokes and burst into huge laughter. At last.. she felt asleep coz of too tired at 11 o'clock in her moyang's room.. When everybody slept.. i transfered Hana to living room (my family's usual sleeping port) at 1.30 a.m. But much to my suprise.. one of my uncle turn on the tv and watched golf-tournament!! What kind of crap common sense he had... ended up Hana awake at 2.30 a.m and cant sleep becoz of the bright light from tv. My hubby was still awake and busy doing his officework (yeah rite.. he's a workaholic :p ). I brought Hana to him and nagged all the way bout my uncle. Then I asked my hubby to transfer our pillows & mattress to pray er hall... where Hana can sleep peacefully.I was just sooo tired at that time...D**n!!



Hahaha... funny, the situation is really different this time with Hana. I cant imagine what would it be when Hari Raya `Idulfitri in a month time. The whole family size will be doubled as well as the 'happening' situation. Can we make it through??? Ermm..need to think a backup plan I guess.




Apart from those bad situation.. one sub event that became such a relief was.. Hamper-giving event. Ngeee :) Every confirmed attendance will receive a hamper worth RM30++.. huhu, thanks to my Pak Teh as the organizer and to his generosity contributing those hampers :)





The event... ;)





My generous uncle



The hamper that I received

My atok (Hana's moyang)



I got fever and flu when get back home... Alhamdulillah, it's not what u guys think ;) Just an ordinary fever coz of too tired...




3rd Event : Yeppy Yenniversary to us!! :)








HamdanLillah... due to His permission, our marriage has reached the 3rd year happily. 18/8/09 to be exact. We celebrated this memorable event at Mama's place in modesty..alongside our anniversary 'gift' - Raihana Izzati :) Nothing fancy or suprise romantic what-so-ever dinner this time :) Just a Baker's Cottage delicious choc cake, Baker's Cottage HALAL Moon Cake, and western cuisine from Chop n Steak as the special anniversary menu.. and definitely our pray for this marriage to everlast and our neverending love beautify it..for the sake of Allah..ameen.




Yeah... mari sembelih kek!!



Our sweet anniversary present..






Alalala...shomeynye tangan ye... :)



Happy 3rd Anniversary to us :) Love u till end of my life...




Speaking of the Moon Cake... have u ever try once?? If not..then u should :) I'm not sure whether this HALAL Moon Cake tasted the same as the Non-Halal. But the looks doesn't have any different..very artistic :) I saw the big banner at the Baker's Cottage entrance claiming their Moon Cake is the 1st Halal Moon Cake...with Halal JAKIM logo.. so I said, why not give it a try. And.. i choose 4 modern flavs : Plain Pandan, Peanut Choc, Coffee Tiramisu and Dark Choc ( I dont think I can eat the traditional flavs with Lotus seed, Yolk bla bla bla...)




Plain Pandan





Coffee Tiramisu



With cheese filling...




My Hubby was very eager about them... he's the 1st dashed to the kitchen and came out with a knife (FYI ..the Moon Cake is quite big for a person to eat). He cut them quarterly and gave 'em to each of us. I can see Mama hesitated coz she still think that all Moon Cakes are not halal. Hee..cant put the blame on her. Moon cake is a very 'totok' chinese tradisional food..rite?. Then she was successfully convinced and ate 'em. Guess what.. they ain't really that bad. And quite good on certain flavs.. but I must say that they are veeeery sweet. A quarter portion was just enough for my 1st attempt. Hehehe.. aziah might like 'em.. (well, kelantanese la katekan) :p





4th pre-event : Awal Ramadhan






Today will be the last day of day eating :) Tonight will be the 1st terawih & tomorrow for sahur. Hmm..Alhamdulillah, we meet again Ramadhan. And I really hope I can genuinely blend into the Ramadhan blessing & numerous benefits. Ya Allah..let me feel the sweetness of ibadah, gain the rejoice promised to Muslim who fasted, purify myself with doing good deeds and asking for Your forgiveness for past, present & future mistakes. Let Ramadhan be the strong bridge connecting me & You Ya Allah.. if I had been neglecting Your commands so many time in previous months..then, dont let me repeat in Ramadhan :'( Please..dont left me behind... ameen.

Me and hubby plan having our 1st sahur at Mama's place. I plan to cook that morning so that Mama can rest. She looks very tired after taking care of Hana for the whole day...as Hana dont give a chance to Maktok to rest..huuu, Sian Maktok tau, Hana... Ermm.. hopefully the plan will be successfully executed ;) Ok then.. the next entry will be on Ramadhan InsyaAllah..kay? have a blessed day & rewarded night...

1st Event in August


So-called Birthday Celebration :p


Hahaha... last 2 weeks, I was 'busy psychoing' one of my best fren (Che Da..hihihi) when she came with a suggestion.. " Achik..besday Kak Teh ujung bulan Ogos nih, jom kite celebrate awal sket sebelum poser" .. and I said " Boley jer.. ajak geng2 gath yang biase dan yg dekat2 leh dtg" - This refer to Hairin, Maryam, Wani -. Then we agreed to select Friday on the 1st week in August as the date.. which leads to today's event. Hahaha... :D By the way..who's Kak Teh?? Hee... She's Nur Aziah bt. Che Abd. Aziz, my ex-dormmate in Kisas (E31), my ex-UM mate and till now.. she's remain as my lepak mate, lunch mate and sometimes.. LRT mate..ngeee :D I've known her for almost 11 years!!.



And for the event today.. big applause given to Che Da for her well-performance in providing marvellous homemade cheese cakes, fruit tarts, a sweet birthday card :) .. and provide her Kelisa as our transportation. As well as Hairin for the... actually I forgot to ask what exactly was she brought..I mean the name.. but it tasted divine! It's like a doughnut texture in finger food size..with chocolate topping and chocolate cream inside. Whoaa... whatever u brought ladies, definitely contributing massive amount of kgs addition to me.. hahaha. Luckily, I was able to control my appetite.. :p






Ade rupe cam org kebulur tak?? :p




Me & besday girl :)


Sister's Kitchen had been chosen as our celebration venue. It's located inside Menara Hap Seng, behind The Weld. This place have a modern looks and very cozy. First time been here (as well as Menara Hap Seng :). After selecting 'port'.. we ordered the food and che Da started the 'poyo' event..hahaha, she took out the cheese cakes and tarts.. As a Takaful agent, she was trained to promote everything she had.. like those cakes : " Ni homemade cheese cake ni, kawan che Da wat sendiri, dio pastikan sumer bahan2 yang digunakan adalah Halal...raselah, sedap..che Da suko sangat" . Lucky for her... the cake taste good, as well as those tarts. If not...then all her takaful products are open for BIG arguements..hahahahaha :) Jange marah che Da..gughau jah... :D After about 10 mins enjoying our great-self-brought appetizers.. our foods came and they were...






Che Da's laksa lemak siam : She claimed, purely siam's taste better..without realizing that she was finishing every single thing till the last drop.. then she said again "Emm.. the siam's taste better..brrppp, alhamdulillahhhh" :p



Aziah & Hairin 's shrimp fried rice + fried dumpling




My hainanese nasik ayam + dumpling soup :)




Our appetizers : Cheese cake(attraction of the day), fruit tarts & chocolate 'thing'..hahaha :D



Birthday girl with her special cake :)




Overall.. this event was a... something to remember (at least a year)..wakakaka :D The meal was satisfying, the cakes + whatever che Da & hairin brought was great, the price (which the payment was made by me - my only contribution) was affordable..quite cheap compared to Delifrance ..hihihihi :D The next besday celebration will be ...hmm, Disember I think (if they remember me..huuuu :p ) whehehe... InsyaAllah, we can always spend time together despite on particular celebration.. right?..



TRANSFORMERS II


I had a chance to watch this movie at my cousin's house (at last I had!!). And I give 5 star rate. Why? becoz this Transformers II is way much better than the 1 st sequel. The storyline is been elaborated creatively.. Eventhough Prime had to die in the middle of the story.. but towards the end.. he awakes with pride..hahaha :D I always had goose bumps when I saw Prime enterframe the scene... with the music sound effect, the way he's been introduced, his 'voice'..really charismatic! although he's just a ROBOT. And in this sequel, Autobots had been extremely 'ditaji' by The Fallen & Decepticons... :( Hero & Heroin...hmm, actually I dont really care about Witwicky and his girl (forgot the name at the moment). I really enjoy the battle part..especially the way their transformed in either way (robot to vehicles vice versa). Their CGI technique is magnificent!!


And one more thing that really amazed me was... despite all the blasting guns, exploded bombs, and those chaotic sounds.. Hana sleep soundly in my arms. She was not distracted even a bit.. and leave us to watch peacefully and excitingly..hehehehe.. tengkiu cayang mama... Mama dah xleh nak watch movies kat cinema dah skang. And I will never ever bring Hana to cinema within 2-3 years... or maybe longer. My very 1st movie watched in cinema was in my primary day..with my father. I think when I was around 12 years old. So, Hana is prohibitted to cinema for a 'while' :D



Bravo Transformers II !!!
