It's Me, Truly Me

[Review]: Philea Resort & Spa, Melaka

2012-01-23T15:46:00.006+08:00

Okay this is a long overdue entry, bear with me.

After we got married, the only vacation that we went was KK, Sabah; which I did not blog about it. Hhehehe. Gambar sikit maaa....

So I thought might as well I blog about the short vacation that we had mid Dec 2011 (i know, its been a month already...)

It was literally a short one where we head South to Johor to meet the one and only, JPO. Hehehe...that I shall blog about it in another post, or in my dream more like.

So as a pit stop, we turned left at Ayer Keroh exit and stayed at the famous Philea Resort & Spa. I read about it in Ratu Sehari magazine, famous for its surroundings and first ever log resort in Malaysia. Log? Erm imagine log cake for xmas, so you are pretty much there

So, shall we proceed to the galleria?

: booTak checking out the outside:

: My name is Philea :) :

: the complete tea and coffee making facilities:

Ouh ya, they used Ahmad Tea (or was it Dilmah tea)...hhehehe. No specific reason for mentioning, just that I love tea.

: trying to figure out the wireless thingamagic:

: while Im busy helping myself with the camera :

: ruang rehat untuk minum Ahmad tea sambil sembang2 dengan rakan sebilik. Ooopss hubby :

: but then again he prefer this area, ciggy break area *sigh* so much love :

: so i make friend with encik TV :

We stayed at the deluxe room where it costs us RM485++. Yah its a little bit on the high side but its worth it. If you are a nature addict, you will have a love hate relationship with this resort. You will love the nature that they are trying to mirror in their room decoration, structure and what not but you will hate the management for having to cut tonnes of trees to build the rooms. So, I chose to neutral bout it.

: the array of amenities :

: i always love hotel that provide toothbrush, i always forgot maaaa to bring mine :

The surroundings are breathtaking as well. You could actually hear the sound of insects and feel wind blowing. cheewahhhhhh...

: the gigantic swimming pool :

: kindly ignore our sepet-ness :

Good facilities provided by the resort such as Gym, Sauna Room, Spa, and many more. But the resort loss its exclusivity and luxury sense when it comes to breakfast buffet. Too many people cramping in one area and booTak have to q for omelette. Hurmmm...no nice.

All in all, it was a lovely stay and I dont mind coming here again *wink at hubby*

Just try, another time

2012-01-13T11:48:00.003+08:00

Life is all about trying...
You try to be the perfect person, regardless perfect son, perfect daughter, perfect husband, perfect wife...
But you often fail to try to be a better you,
Just because you think by being perfect to the other eyes makes you a perfect person.

By being a perfect you means you are perfect according to you. I understand some of you might think that sounded a lil selfish but who are we to judge. You can be a perfect staff to your boss by following everything that your boss need, but inside you are dying and cant help it but feeling miserable and empty.

Hence the reason why I think perfect 'you' is imperative and top others.

Because at the end of the day, there is no point you bring smile to someone else but inside you are crying your heart out.

Here are some inspirational quotes that I find it soothing to help me going through difficult times.

"All that is gold does not glitter
not all those who wander are lost
the old that is strong does not wither
deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
a light from the shadows shall spring
renewed shall be blade that was broken
the crown less again shall be king."
- J.R.R. Tolkien

"Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow."
- Anonymous

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Edison

"Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

I'll try...just one more time.

London Bridge...

London bridge is falling down,
My fair lady...

Very nice!!!

[Yummie]: Meatworks @ Citta Mall

2012-01-10T17:31:00.003+08:00

When booTak asked me whether I want to go to Citta Mall, my reaction was...
blearrghhhhh

Malasnya...

Ive heard about Citta Mall but so far I have yet to hear anything interesting about it. So since booTak was persistent, heck okay lah lets go

Hurmmm...it was empty I tell you!

Only a few shops were in business and mostly restaurants (and its empty). They have chillis, Meatworks, chawan, La Pratesserie (i hope i got the name right) and a few other cafes with weird names.

So we chose Meatworks since we encountered 2 failed attempts earlier to dine in meatworks. Erm yah, the restaurant was also empty

empty belaka

The price ranging from Rm18 to the most expensive around RM98++. A few selections to choose from soups, salad, beef, lamb and chicken. Ouh ya, they serve organic stuff yo!. hehehehe....

So this is what we ordered....

booTak ordered 3 BBQ ribs with sides (mashed potatoes and organic grilled vegetables), he said the ribs were too sweet for his liking. Maybe its the BBQ talking...

I ordered this beauty, steak medium well with brown sauce.

Verdict? YUMMMMEHHHHH...it was cooked to perfection. The brown sauce really compliment the meat thou booTak likes it without sauce. He said it kill the taste of the meat

pfftttt.....

I think he was plan jealous because he didnt like his dish

Too bad...

Meatworks also has another restaurant chain in Mont Kiara, which is their first debut to malaysian food market shares. It is also jam packed with customers at night so if you want faster service and less people giving you death stare for hanging too long at your table, maybe you can go to Citta Mall instead

*peace*

Counting days...

2012-01-10T17:20:00.002+08:00

21 days to be exact...

Can't wait...

2 months and counting

2011-12-23T10:23:00.002+08:00

No, I am not pregnant if thats what you think when you read the title.
At least not yet. *hehehe*

Yesterday marked the 2 months for us, to be in this holy knot, lifetime commitment between me and booTak.
Boo hoo, no fancy celebration what not, instead we were at klcc * i was forced to wait at klcc for him as he worked late yesterday*, had dinner at foodcourt (did I tell you the ikan bakar + sotong with spicy sauce is damn good there) and while waiting for the food to arrive, we played game

Oh well not really a game la, more like sticker game kind of thing.

I was at eclipse yesterday trying to kill time but unfortunately I killed my wallet too when I was there browsing for the latest collection. Cant blame me though, the 50% tag really played its role in persuasive action. HEBAT!

Anyway, before I move further can I just tell you that eclipse store at klcc has the best customer service personnel! EVER! there were very nice, the both of them and very friendly. and they were selling this charity sticker by World Vision (i think thats also part of the paperdoll project to raise money for children in africa)

"Sayang, beli la sticker, 10 ringgit je, boleh tolong kanak2, kesian diorang"

"Tapi kalau beli 2 15 ringgit je"

Oh well, how can I say no to anything relates to charity. They showed me that the sticker that I bought are for helping the kids to get water. Ahhhhhh, makes me feel like buying more sticker then.

In the end, I did pay for the sticker and the both of them were really happy as if I bought something that they sell personally and they gain profit out of it. Sincerity really shows its face yesterday for the both of them and I felt warm

So, back to the earlier story, while waiting, we stick the stickers onto the main board and we had fun. Really, I tell you sometimes the small small stuff that you do together with your significant others really makes your realtionship feels warm and the laugh that we had when I stick the sticker perigi floating on the air was genuine

Maybe you should try too, if lazy to buy sticker just play fruit ninja or play Amazing Race games on iPad.

Heheheheh

ketap bibir like kanak kanak je

can you see the floating perigi? *kekekekkee*

booTak decided to be gila kuasa and stick them all. no laaahhh kidding...

So far, no doubt marriage really needs effort from both parties, and adjusting may need time but I am grateful to have him as my husband because seriously who can really take my crap anyway? hehehe

Love you booTak! *i doubt you are reading this. blogserius.com lagi menarik kot. hehehehe

Ending

2011-12-22T10:11:00.003+08:00

So my inai dah nak habis.
Hehehehe
That marks the end of my bride moment...
Sigh
I have to admit
I miss being a bride
I dont miss the prep time, I certainly miss the wedding day itself
Its so nice when people attended to your needs by any means...eventhough sometimes it did sound unreasonable
Hahahahha

But now,
Back to reality...
*slaps forehead*

p/s: I just realised I have yet to write about my wedding day. hhahahaha....

[Review]: Ombak Rindu

2011-12-12T11:05:00.003+08:00

The phenomena of Ombak Rindu (OR) is amazingly crazy. It has been the talk of the town since its opening night and remain as such ever since. If we look at it from a positive point of view, this is truly an achievement to Malay Film industry as it is not easy to attract audience nowadays. Unless you have some cheap gimmick from your movie and list of ‘beautiful and handsome’ cast in it, your movie will highly unlike to become hit and blockbuster rated

Nonetheless, OR also has these element. Albeit the director gave his assurance that he does not sell cheap sex scene in the movie, you have to admit the thoughts of Aaron Aziz and Maya Karin performing sex scene surely is inviting to some crowd. Let's be honest, we always love some provocative elements in our lives and this is one of it.

When I heard about the phenomena created by this movie, I told myself I have to validate its accuracy. So we did, and we weren’t happy with the outcome.

The movie surely missed one important element in a good film. Climax! Ombak Rindu doesn’t have a pinnacle in it. True, everybody love happy ending but it has to have content, meaning to it. Not just sipping tropical drinks and eating fruits on yacht and sailing to a happy ending. Yesterday I read one review on OR written by one critics that is specializing in literature, and I totally agree with his point of view. Nur Izzah (Maya Karin) did not win anything in this battle. She didn’t manage to bring Hariz (Aaron Aziz) into Islam and embracing it. Her battle is purely to ensure that Hariz is hers, but whether or not the marriage is going to be great one, we don’t know.

There are too many typical local film scenes in this movie. I don’t understand the need of showing a night club scene in this movie. I understand the fact the she was sold to become a prostitute by her uncle Pakcik Taha, but seriously does prostitution really takes place in night club? Shouldn’t the scene takes place at one dodgy area (looking at peanut payment received by his uncle for selling her)? I seriously don’t understand why night club scene is a must in a Malay movie.

Another typical scene or more to character is Datuk Suffiah (Azizah Mahzan), Hariz’s mother. What is up with the slang? I happened to know a lot of Datins Datins and they surely don’t talk like one. That surely gave a wrong impression of the Datins community and I don’t think they like it.

When it comes to improvement in acting, I have to give it to Maya Karin. She surely did improved and I believe her sadness in this movie. The character itself is not those typical ‘wanita malang dan teraniaya’ and hoping that one day the truth will reveal itself. Im glad the director did not visualize her as such.

source [Google]

But Lisa Surihani (as Mila), is a total disappointment. I don’t really like her acting nowadays, she overdone it in certain ways. I like her better in Lagenda Budak Setan. I don’t really understand the needs of screaming and jegil mata all the time. No no for me

Aaron Aziz? Hurm, don’t know what to comment. I don’t fancy him neither his acting. I don’t really like those typical romantic guy bla bla bla character that he played in Nora Elena (but who am I to comment, I only watch one episode), but he was the total opposite in this movie. In terms of how he managed to convinced me in his emotion in this movie, probably in some scene. That’s all.

Ouh ya another thing, Bront Palarae wasted his talent in this movie. He is an awesome actor and he did not give any impact to this movie. The movie will still sell if it’s someone else.

What else, hurm none I guess. I better stop here before people hate me for this comment. Hahahahaha

STOMP! STOMP!

2011-12-05T20:55:00.002+08:00

Last Saturday was a hectic day for me, attended mini convo for my Shariah Law certificate in the morning, had a power nap; the two of us in the car at parking lot KLCC for one solid hour, had lunch and we ran to KL Convention Centre to watch the much anticipated event for the year

STOMP' 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, I had the chance to score good seats for the show, much thanks to booTak for sponsoring :)

Erm, I dont think stomp need any introduction, eventhough I had it explained briefly in my previous post. All I can say is its freaking awesome and I dont mind killing good bucks in my wallet *cough* hubby's wallet *cough* for it

Off we go to Door 2 to enter and we ran into Nanayau and siapa lagi, BF nyer lah....

Bergambar seketika

To sum the show up, I like all parts of it. Be it the broom session, the sink session, the paper session and so on...

But my favourite one was this....

ZOMG! mcm terbang ok

and this one. this part was super awesome. I saw the front row there were 2 kids were enjoying themselves kengkonon mcm tgh bergendang jugak. SOOOO CUTEEEE!!!!

who said brooms cannot be entertaining meh?

They really managed to get the crowd cheering non stop, even for us to clap. They really got us involved, I like the part where they made us imitate what they did...super cute...

Its funky, and it has beats and even kids likes it. Im sure one day once we have our kid we will definitely bring them to this show. (if datang KL lagi la kan...)

STOMP, sila datang lagi ye.....

Selamanya, selamanya, selamanya Harimau Malaya

2011-11-22T15:49:00.002+08:00

We did it,
Harimau Muda!
Terima kasih kerana mengembalikan kegemilangan bola sepak malaysia. It was a very very good fight. 120mins on the field with limited recovery time after their match in semi were really challenging, but they made it
Despite tonnes of obstacles encountered prior the match, boo-ed by the spectators, Negaraku was not respected by them, our Jalur Gemilang burned by the Indonesians, alhamdulillah...Allah itu maha Kaya. Allah hanya menguji hambaNya yang mampu dan tabah mengatasinya

Harimau muda was under the great pressure during last night event, nonetheless they made through. I think i better stop giving such an obvious comment like Zainal Abidin...

TV Host: Apa pendapat abang zainal dan expectation abang zainal untuk separuh masa kedua ini dari aspek permainan?

Zainal: "Saya rasa team Harimau Muda akan bermain dengan lebih baik lagi dan lebih bersungguh- sungguh"

Duhhhhh...itu makcik milah pun leh comment kot

I watched this with my hubby and MIL last night, and the house filled with me screaming and shouting most of the time

"Aduhhh, FAKRI ni apsal ni?"
"Indon play act siot"
"Bodoh punya ref, bias ar"

Three common statements made by the three of us. I cant say the same for MIL, she did not say bodoh and all hahahahha its just me and hubby. Luckily mama werent shocked with it...

apa punya menantu daaaa...

Anyway, FAKRI was the contributing factor of my high blood pressure last night. For a moment, I googled his roots to know whether or not he has indonesian blood. Just in case...

The second factor was the rude and uncivilised Indonesian fans. Negaraku did not get the proper respect as it should. I agree, we pretty much did the same for Singapore National Anthem during the last World Cup qualifying but it wasnt that bad. At least we did not boo the anthem and there was no middle finger action showing up on the TV screen. How embarassing...

We ended up winning with penalty, even under such circumstances our Harimau Muda perseverence deserve a big fat thumbs up.

Congrats Harimau Muda. Walaupun KFCM kaki clubbing, takpelah!!! He's too good for us to bother about his sucky love life. hahahhaaha

Despite the bad treatments received by our players, our condolences to the family of 2 indonesians whom their lives ended during the match, after massive stampade happened at Section 15 of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. The total turnout for yesterday's match was close to 100k, I believe bigger than what the stadium's capacity.

Semoga kejadian begini tidak akan berlaku di negara kita yang aman damai ini. Tanah tumpahnya darahku

Heartpumping shows

2011-11-18T11:08:00.002+08:00

OMG, how awesome is this. STOMP is coming back to Malaysia and it is happening in Kuala Lumpur. Yeayyyyy!!!!

I missed their performance back in 2006 (or was it 2005). Could not make it that time and I was very very disappointed. When I read about it, excitedly ask booTak about it only to receive this from him...

"STOMP? Apa tu?"

Pfftttt, and he called himself happening guy. Chittt porraaahhh

To you, i mean you people who dont know what STOMP is, STOMP is a performance show with unstoppable energy and toe-tapping exuberance, and takes the clutter and junk of everyday life – bins, Zippo lighters and even the kitchen sink – and transforms it into a pulsating, witty, utterly irresistible theatrical event. Clearly this is the event that you don’t want to miss to see what all the noise is about!

Ticket is now on sale via TicketPro

Price ranging from RM168 to RM308. Since this is a noisy show, better get the middle seat for you not to be drown by the loud beat produced by those equipments

I am so very excited for this. Cant say the same for my husband as he is not all thrilled for it. Hahahaha. Whatever, this is the price that you have to pay for forcing me to watch Alamak Toyol and Abuya. (by the way these 2 movie sucks to the max so dont bother watching it at all. I shall write some review about it soon)

On another related note, I just found out about the Grand Finale of The Challenger MuayThai. Arghhhh and its tomorrow....

Can I get tickets still for this? Who wants to go with me? My treat!

Love her

2011-11-14T09:56:00.004+08:00

I found this from Izrin's blog (which I think she found it from her friend's FB, so the credit should go the her friend's fb whom I guess found it from someone else FB and the list go on. Tengs)

Love her …when she sips on your coffee or tea. She only wants to make sure it tastes just right for you.

Love her…when she "pushes" you to pray. She wants to be with you in Jannah.

Love her…when she asks you to play with the kids. She did not "make" them on her own.

Love her...when she is jealous. Out of all the men she can have, she chose you

Love her…when she has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too.

Love her…when her cooking is bad. She tries.

Love her…when she looks dishevelled in the morning. She always grooms herself up again.

Love her…when she asks to help with the kids homework. She only wants you to be part of the home.

Love her...when she asks if she looks fat. Your opinion counts, so tell her she's beautiful.

Love her…when she looks beautiful. She's yours so appreciate her.

Love her...when she spends hours to get ready. She only wants to look her best for you.

Love her…when she buys you gifts you don't like. Smile and tell her it's what you've always wanted.

Love her…when she has developed a bad habit. You have many more and with wisdom and politeness you have all the time to help her change.

Love her…when she cries for absolutely nothing. Don't ask, tell her its going to be okay

Love her…when she suffers from PMS. Buy chocolate, rub her feet and back and just chat to her

Love her…when whatever you do is not pleasing. It happens and will pass

Love her…when she stains your clothes. You needed a new thobe (kurta) anyway

Love her…when she tells you how to drive. She only wants you to be safe.

Love her…when she argues. She only wants to make things right for both

Love her…she is yours. You don't need any other special reason!!!!

All this forms part of a Woman's Character. Women are part of your life and should be treated as the Queen.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) advised concerning the woman:

Treat the women well.

This post was written by a man. May Allah bless his marriage life for reminding other men to be what they are supposed to be.

Love,

Today is the day,
The day where tonnes of wedding hall were booked years earlier,
The day where all tok kadi are fully booked,

The day where the newbies in the wedding industries get to shine themselves and tell the whole world that "hey, we are here and we are as good as the rest"

Three of my friends are getting married today, 2 are having their solemnization and one friend is getting her marriage registered today...

What a perfect date to get married,

Husband has no excuse to forget the date as it is pretty simple date,
and that is considered awesome.

I dont really have time to blog about our reception at felda on the deepavali day last 2 weeks, but I will do it soon once I receive the official picture from danialhaikal studio. But for now just some teaser...

Till then,

Love

Nana

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status. her beauty and her religion, so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust.

{Chapter 35, Book 8, Number 3457 : Sahih Muslim}

Alhamdulillah, Ive found my match in this man and we sincerely pray and hope for our marriage to last forever...

To all friends who came to our wedding, thank you so very much. It really brought joy to our big day and again, thank you

Special thank you to all vendors who helped me throughout the whole preparation and making it a success.

Holes Inside...

2011-10-07T16:45:00.000+08:00

When all that you've tried, leaves nothing but holes inside,
It seems like you're wired, to stay here held in time,
Cos nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing's gonna change, at all.
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone astray.

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams will collide.
So don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me.

Your feet are stuck, no they cannot move,
Don't tell me that they're glued,
Yeh they're far from.
At home, at ease but give sometime to breathe

When nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing's gonna change, at all.
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone away.

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams will collide.
So don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me.

But everthing will be ok,
I know that it's so easy to say,
But the pain inside will fade,
Please tell me that you'll stay.

If we hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.
So don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me,
Don't walk away from me.

When all that you've tried, leaves nothing but holes inside.

R.I.P Steve Jobs

2011-10-06T10:14:00.002+08:00

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life,"

"Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

- Steve Jobs

The most shocking news to the world this morning is the demise of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. In mid-2004, Jobs announced to his employees that he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas. The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is usually very poor; Jobs, however, stated that he had a rare, far less aggressive type known as islet cell neuroendocrine tumor. After initially resisting the idea of conventional medical intervention and embarking on a special diet to thwart the disease, Jobs underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure") in July 2004 that appeared to successfully remove the tumor. Jobs apparently did not require nor receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy (source: wikipedia)

From the reading I did this morning, I can only make one conclusion. Steve Jobs never wanted the whole world to know that he is sick. He never wants sympathy. Instead, he fought hard and always be positive about his health condition. At one of the media event he attended, he ended his keynote address with "110/70" referring to his blood pressure, stating that he would not address any further questions about his health condition.

He reminds me so much of my late father-in-law. Similar characteristics, similar class of acts and similar success stories. Arwah abah may not invented iPhone (he used one actually :), but Abah had his own fair shares of great stories. Recently, KLIFF 2011 Award has listed abah as one of the recipients, "The Most Outstanding Performance in Islamic Finance", Mama and Rizhan accepted the award. Abah did tremendous great work in Islamic Finance, creating Malaysia as the biggest hub for Islamic Finance, allowing banks to grow in Islamic industries and many more that I cant even begin to list down.

My heart goes to his family members. May they gather the strength to pursue life with his absence and always be strong.

RIP Steve Jobs

Life, Marriage and challenges...

2011-10-06T09:03:00.003+08:00

"Finding the right man for marriage is the second challenge. The first challenge is to be the right woman that a right man wants to marry."

(Taken from A Girl's Say)

15 days to go...

and yah I am not going to talk about my wedding preparation here. Instead it feels right to talk about the preparation to enter marriage.

booTak asked me a question yesterday, "are you ready to get married?"

You might wonder what was my reaction towards that? Some might think that I might throw a fighting scream

"hey, apa soalan ni?

u ingat I tak ready ke?

Kenapa awak fikir macam ni?

This is just not fair to ask me this now"

Nah,

I didnt...

The first 4 awkward seconds I was just there, keeping it silent and trying to find the right answer only to realise there is no right answer to this question. Your answer wasnt supposed to please your other half, instead the answer should please you and makes you feel comfortable with it.

My answer "Yes, I am ready"

I know in my heart that I am ready for this.

Often we notice nowadays couples who wants to get married are focusing their energy to get the perfect wedding. What we should be focusing actually is to the journey afterwards, the marriage itself. We have to set a goal, an objective so we know the hurdle that we have to go through in the preparation is actually nothing. Greater things awaits us the moment he finally say his lafaz, accepting his responsibility to be the husband and for you to be his wife.

Ive seen one lavish and super cool wedding, and the couple divorced 6 months later. My first reaction was "aiyak, wasted only money spent on the wedding". I wasnt on the right track as well, that moment I should be thinking how frustrating that such a holly ikatan can be broken after only 6 months.

I realise marriage takes even greater effort and challenges than the wedding itself...and I am ready for that. I've found the right man (insyaAllah), now I just have to be the right woman to be with my right man....

Friends Forever

2011-10-04T15:42:00.005+08:00

Do you ever has somebody that fits this...

undeniably trustworthy,
incredibly supportive and understanding
fantastic and fabulous
an incredible and wonderful person

That is a Super Friend award

I know I have one...
But she is flying off to UK tonight to pursue her dreams in modeling *NOT*
Pursuing her Masters actually (I hate scholarship)

I've met Annette my entire life. She has been there with me for 10 years already. First met her during our early year in uniten and we have been best friends ever since. I am annette and annette is me. Literaly....

Even her family is mine already, vice versa.

Even after we graduated we were still glued to each other. We worked at the same place, we stayed in the same house and spend weekends together until we got sick of each others and we decided yah we should get a boyfriend.

But even when the both of us are with someone in our life, that never change the fact that we are still best friends. After I had that traumatic experience in uni when I've realised I should never trust girls, I can still trust her, in fact she was the only one whom I put my trust that moment.

Today she is leaving me, leaving us to pursue her dream and some white dudes. I am so glad she has this opportunity to shine and I am glad she no longer has to work on weekends and sometimes at night.

Babe, if you are reading this, please know that you will always have my heart, my thoughts and my sincere prayer for your happiness and success in the English Land. You have been the best person/friend in my life and I thank you for that. It is sad not to have you around during my big day but I know somehow you are hurt too. The thoughts of not having you around to listen to all my crap is unbearable, but this is all for the best and I wish you the best of luck in your life.

Hit on some white dudes for me if you can (as I can no longer do that pfffttt), pls pls pls do travel, and live life to the fullest. Dont be such a nerd (yah, sitting at the front seat of a class is considered nerd) and pls dont listen to linkin park song's while studying; your roommate may hate you for that. Dont play video games in uni (Return of Castle Wolfenstein whatnot is so not cool) and during your free time dont do jigsaw puzzle in your room. Roomies may think you are weird. Hehhehe *peace*. Kick ass in your study okay, I know you will (cough *nerd* cough) and please do remember me. :)

What else...
Hurm yah!
Please dont bring puncher from malaysia and buy your stationaries at Leeds!

I love you babe...
Thank you for being my best friend

I can only do these kind of pose with her...

Love,

Nana

xoxo

Help,in any way...

2011-09-30T09:23:00.002+08:00

I receive an email from a friend today, read it and my heart breaks. I cant imagine what Puan Rohaiza is going through now but I am pretty sure she needs help, in any way possible that we could ever extend

Reading this makes me realise that stress that we face through in any normal day are nothing to compare to what she's going through.

Saya Rohaiza Bte Ishak. Saya merupakan guru Kemahiran Hidup di MRSM Muar. Tujuan saya menulis email ini ialah untuk memohon belas kasihan dari pembaca kerana anak kedua saya yang bernama NurHannah Bte Mohamed Helmi berusia 3 bulan tidak sihat.

Ketika bersalin, anak saya lemas kerana tali pusat keluar lebih kurang 40 minit sebelum saya bersalin. Ini menyebabkan anak saya lemas kerana tidak mendapat oksigen kerana tali pusat sudah terkeluar.

Apabila doctor scan (MRI) otak anak saya, doctor menyatakan bahawa anak saya terencat akal kerana sel-sel otak telah mati kerana kekurangan oksigen. Hanya Allah yang tahu apa yang saya rasa ketika itu.

Kaki bagaikan tidak jejak ke bumi. Muka saya pucat bagaikan tiada darah lagi. Hampir 3 minggu saya mengambil masa untuk terima hakikat apa yang doctor terangkan mengenai anak saya. Hari-hari saya menangis. Saya rasakan hati saya kosong.

Selepas 3 minggu saya cuba berkongsi masalah dengan teman sekerja. Semangat saya mula datang apabila ada rakan yang mengalami situasi yang sama seperti saya iaitu anak mereka lemas ketika bersalin. Doktor juga menyatakan anak mereka terencat akal. Tetapi kuasa Allah mengatasi segalanya dan anak mereka alhamdulillah sihat. Tetapi saya akui bahawa saya hanya insan yang lemah. Kadang-kadang saya kuat, kadang-kadang saya lemah sangat.

Rakan menasihati saya agar perbanyakkan solat hajat, baca yassin dan bersedekah. Alhamdulillah. Saya melakukan semua nasihat yang mereka berikan. Perkembangan terbaru tentang anak saya ialah dia masih lagi belum boleh menghisap dan menelan. Minum susu menggunakan tiub yang dimasukkan terus ke perut. Suction machine pula digunakan untuk menyedut air liur kerana anak masih tidak boleh menelan.

2 minggu lepas anak dimasukkan ke hospital kerana jangkitan kuman pada paru2. Ketika itu keadaan anak terlalu lemah menyebabkan doctor sukar mencari urat anak. Pilihan kedua ialah masukkan line hingga ke tulang.

Sekali lagi anak saya diduga iaitu selepas 3 hari kaki anak bengkak. Apabila doctor buat x-ray, rupanya kaki anak saya patah kerana dicucuk ketika memasukkan line.Pergerakan anak saya tidak seaktif bayi kerana kesan kurangnya oksigen di otak ..tambahan pula kaki kanan anak bersimen.

Hanya Allah tempat saya mengadu. Jika boleh, biarlah saya yang menanggung semua kesakitan itu, bukan anak saya yang berumur 3 bulan. Minum guna tiub, tak tahu menelan…kaki pula bersimen.

Kalian bayangkanlah bagaimana perasaan seorang ibu yang menjaga janin dalam kandungan bagaikan menatang minyak yang penuh. Tetapi selepas lahir, begitu besar ujian untuk anak saya.Terus terang saya katakan bahawa ini adalah ujian yang maha-maha besar dalam hidup saya. Saya bersyukur kerana Allah menguji saya kerana Dia sayangkan saya dan anak.

Dikesempatan ini saya memohon, merayu dan menagih simpati agar kalian dapat meluangkan masa untuk melakukan sembahyang hajat agar kesihatan anak saya pulih dan jauhkanlah anak saya dari sebarang kecacatan.

Andainya terlalu berat permintaan saya, bacakanlah Al-Fatihah. Jika permintaan ini juga berat, cukuplah kalian mengucapkan INSYAALLAH agar anak saya sihat, dijauhkan dari kecacatn dan dipulihkan kerosakan pada otaknya. Mudah-mudahan dengan keikhlasan kalian, doa kalian dimakbulkan. Hanya Allah yang mampu membalas budi kalian.

Saya juga memohon agar kalian dapat forwardkan email ini kepda rakan-rakan kalian agar dapat membantu anak saya. Kesihanilah anak saya kerana dia terlalu kecil untuk memahami erti kesakitan. Jika ada nasihat, pengalaman dan ilmu..emailkanlah kepada saya rozex_3056@yahoo.com.my. Di sini saya sertakan panduan sembahyang hajat. Mudah-mudahan bolehlah kalian amalkan jika ingin memohon sesuatu hajat. Percaya dan yakinlah bahawa Allah maha mendengar doa dari hambaNya.

Solat Hajat

1) Niat Ushalli sunnatal hajati rak’ataini lillaahi ta’aala.

2) Tiap-tiap 2 rakaat sesudah membaca al-fatihah, baca Ayat kursi 1x, dan Kul huallah huahad sebanyak 1x.

3) Sehabis salam yang terakhir, sujud semula. teruslah meminta hajat kepada Allah dengan khusyuk.Insyaallah Allah makbulkan.

Marilah kita sama sama berdoa semoga Allah memudahkan perjalanan dan dugaan yang ditempuhi kedua-duanya. Allah hanya menduga hambaNya yang tabah. Semoga Puan Rohaiza beroleh kekuatan.

SAVE THE DATE: Goodbye Singlehood

2011-09-07T15:26:00.003+08:00

Salam & Surpriseeeeee! *NOT*

I guess some of you may have noticed that I'm engaged recently. Thanks to those who uploaded my engagement pictures, now its no longer a surpise event. *boohoo*

So yah, I am regret to inform that I can no longer brag about singlehood but I am happy to announce that by the blessing and will of Allah SWT, I will be marrying the love of my life whom I met with the help of magical power of match-making...! Go cupid!

Sadly, he still thinks wearing dirty sneakers is awesome (he probably would wear those to our wedding *slaps forehead*), but he makes me smile whenever I hear his name mentioned and still manage to give me all sort of butterflies whenever he's around. I wonder how he does that. Pfffttttt!

Okay enough of sappiness, lets get back to business. I'd love for you guys to come and sharing the day with us. Promise you, no cheesy love songs!

So, please Save the Date ~22 October 2011~ for a day of joy, happiness and eternity to follow

Ouh ya, kindly drop me your address for the sending of invitation cards. This message is applicable for those who thinks they wont see me before the wedding date. Whoever that has eye contact with me for the next 40 days ur invi card will be flying to you pretty soon *winks*

Regards,

Nana Ali + Rizhan Razif

Pergi...

2011-09-05T10:29:00.005+08:00

Sayu terpisah
Hikayat indah kini hanya tinggal sejarah
Berhembus angin rindu
Begitu nyamannya terhidu wangian kasihmu
Hujan lebat mencurah kini
Bagaikan tiada henti
Kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
Tak lagi kudengari
Kau pergi... pergi...
Sepi tanpa kata
Terdiam dan kaku tak daya kau kulupa
Apa pun kata mereka
Biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia

Hujan lebat mencurah kini
Bagaikan tiada henti
Kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
Tak lagi kudengari
Kau pergi... pergi...

Hujan lebat mencurah kini
Bagaikan tiada henti
Kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
Tak lagi kudengari
Kau pergi... pergi...
Kau pergi... pergi...
Pergi...

Aizat - Pergi

It has been 29 days...

We miss you, really, really miss you...

Al - Fatihah...

Salam Aidilfitri

2011-08-29T20:41:00.004+08:00

After 29 days embracing Ramadhan, tomorrow will be the first day Aidilfitri. This year Aidilfitri is going to be different for me. Im engaged, going through preparation for our wedding and at the same time missing Abah.

I intend to keep it short this year, my post that is. From the bottom of we gour heart, we seek forgiveness for any wrong doings or words that hurt or caused harm to you. May we receive Barakah from Allah SWT from this Ramadhan and we wish you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin

Love,

Changes; inevitably...

2011-08-16T14:57:00.003+08:00

Changes,
Inevitably it will ensue...
No one knows for sure what will the future holds once changes takes place, its all about adapting to it.

Often we know people succumb to changes and let it take affect on their lives. Good way or bad way? It is all depending on how you adapt to it. Again, adapt is the key word here.

I know how tough changes can be to anyone, and I know for sure adapting is strenuous at this point.

You are a tough person, I know you are...
You make me proud of you; everytime I lay my eyes on you and in every single thing that you do...

I pray for these strength to last forever as you are well needed as the leader...
To your family and most certainly to me...
and I pray for Allah to always be by your side to guide you in every decision making in future...

In loving memory of Abah, Al - Fatihah

2011-08-10T11:41:00.008+08:00

Before I begin this post, appreciate if readers can recite al-fatihah to Allahyarham Dato' Haji Mohd Razif Abdul Kadir, or Abah as the family called him.

My path with arwah abah crossed officially last year when Rizhan introduced me to him as his girlfriend. Often we know that the first meeting with the future in-law can be rather daunting. Furthermore, the fact that abah was the big boss in the organization that I work with; makes it even harder.

My heart was pounding as I reached Damansara Specialist Hospital that morning. The plan was to go for a lil jogging and walking at TTDI park as abah was warded the day before after he was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was merely practicing my line :-

"Assalamualaikum uncle, my name is Suhana. How are you? how are you feeling today?"

Keep on mumbling the above sentences, I think I repeated those for more than 20 times

When he arrived, shook his hand and the first thing that came out was: -

"Good morning Dato' "

pfffttttt. So much of practising I have to say. Rizhan and Rushdi were laughing out loud while arwah abah smiled at me and replied "ooo good morning nana"

I was embarassed. Little that I know he already knew my shortnames. He shook my hand with a gesture of acceptance and his smile ease all the anxiety.

After the jogging session, I suggested for a breakfast at some kopitiam. He said, "eh no need, we breakfast at the hospital room, theres so many food. We can share the nasi lemak"

Thank you Allah, thats what I praised that morning when I realised how friendly and accepting he was towards me. Being the DG, he asked about my supervision work and asked me how well I am coping with the working environment.

His second question was "so, how many overseas inspection have you been"

Yeiks, I was stunned. Maybe overseas inspection is the benchmark of how succesful you are as a supervisor. "ermmm, none so far uncle"

"Its okay, the opportunity will come. It is a very good exposure for you, once its there must make sure you utilise it"

From that moment I realised my journey with this family is going to be a smooth ride. Coupled with the fact that Mama is always nice to me, I told myself this is the place to be. I have found the one.

During the period where he was fighting the cancer, he never failed to show high spirit and always objective and positive in the outcome. He never show any sign of pain in front of us, always smile and always cheerful.

After i was registered as his BBM friends, abah always bbm me. Behind rizhan's back he always asked me on our plan to get married to a point where sometimes I feel scared if I received his bbm text. His favourite line

"you must push rizhan to make that call. Only you can do it, we have tried on your behalf but boy he is a stubborn child"

"Uncle nak nana asked him the question, asked him where is he going with you in this relationship. I dont want my son to keep on bringing you here and there with no ikatan. I am equally guilty"

Not just the above, abah once bbm me "Good luck on your marathon. Uncle doakan a good race for you". Rizhan was so bitter since abah didnt even sms him...

With all the sms, bbm text and phone calls, i felt closer to abah. But sometimes abah can be a person where he will text you when he cant say it in front of your face. One text that I will remember for the rest of my life:-

"take great care of my son. His eczema has never been easy to him, sometimes he will be grumpy. please sabar. I hope you will love him as much as we do"

I remembered he was very excited after rizhan came to my parents house, to meet my parents. One after another bbm text came in asking how was it.

"Rizhan dah mula, now its uncle and aunty punya turn to follow suit. nana set date with your parents, uncle nak book nana nanti dikebas orang"

Rizhan was pissed when he read it. "Abah ni tak sabar la"
I can only smile because I understand the reason why abah was so excited. But the decision is not in my hand.

When rizhan proposed, abah and mama were at Singapore for treatment. Right after he proposed to me, mama called and I heard abah's voice at the back. "we are so happy nana"

To any girl, approval from your future in law is rather enough but having them to be equally excited with the decision makes me feel so blessed to be around. Abah didnt make it for the engagement, but Im glad he had the chance to be involved in the merisik.

His only question during the merisik "can we set the date? nnt kita nak book dewan"

Now I realised he was rushing the date; so he can be there with us. Im so sorry abah...

Abah passed away peacefully with family members surrounding his bedside, and tonnes of friends and relatives flooded the ICU. Abah was a great man, not even a soul who doesnt like him. He fought hard with his illness to the very end with no sign of giving up. Abah was a fighter, he never complained of his pain not even one single second. For one year and 2 months, he fought it hard but Allah loves him even more. Abah passed away in this Holly month of Ramadhan, ternyata Allah lebih tau rancanganNya kepada setiap hambanya.

For beloved abah, you will always be in my mind and my heart. Even though it was short, for me to call you abah and for you to see me as your daughter but it was a sweet one. Thank you for everything abah, you makes it thousand times easier to enter the family and God knows how much I love you. You were the best father-in-law one can ever get. Im sorry for any wrong doings and we will miss you dearly. InsyaAllah I will take great care of Rizhan and we will be there for mama, ana, udi, rahimi and fitri; and we will always remember you.

Al - fatihah

Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan diletakkan di kalangan orang beriman.

Common Mistakes People Make with GPS and Cell Phones

2011-08-05T10:29:00.004+08:00

I received this email from my boss this morning and it makes me thinking and at the end thanking Allah for not having GPS (eventhough I have to say GPS does helps when you are clueless)

Kindly read this....

With all the new electronic technology - this experience gives all of us something to think about.

GPS:

A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken-into while they were at a Football game.
Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the
car included:
- a garage door Remote Control,
- some money and
- a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.

1. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house.
2. They then used the Garage Remote Control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house.
3. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house.
4. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but
no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.

MOBILE PHONES
Hurm, I never thought of this.......

This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen.
Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her husband from a Pay Phone telling him what had happened, he said 'I received your text asking about our Pin Number and I've replied a little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the Bank, their money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'Hubby' in the Contact List and got hold of the Pin Number.. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn considerable amount of money from their Bank Account.

Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your Contact List.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... (yah, i know some may have smiles on their faces when 'Sweetheart' appears on your phone)

And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call them back to Confirm that the Message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

Harimau Malaya, kita akan bangkit suatu hari nanti

2011-07-29T10:50:00.005+08:00

source: google

Yah, we didnt win last night. Nonetheless, my full support will always be with Harimau Malaya team. Despite the high spirit projected at earlier time, we were defeated with stronger mind game played by the player from the kiasu-land. Hence the name, those sore losers will do whatever it takes to qualify to the third even if it means jeopardizing their reputation and by not being professional.

A few points to ponder. Not that I am good in this area anway, heck I cant even play futsal right. But I still think even with the non-professional match brought by the team that take pride of their neutralised players, Malaysian players still projected few mistakes that shouldnt happen at big game like this.

Passing Missmatch
Hurm, thats way disappointing to me I must say. Often we saw a lot of good chances were not utilised wisely by the MF. At this level, passing balls to the opponent would be a big NO-NO. I am not sure whether they were rushed or they cant really measure the dimension, but still the clear cut passing should be a breeze to them and it didnt happen last night.

Poor Defender
We have to admit, our defender and MF were a bit sloppy last night. Defender, yah we know that KFCM is that awesome but still you guys have to play your role. The goal scored by the loser-land was a little bit too easy. I guess they were expecting KFCM to block it and it didnt happen. Defender were a little bit lazy to chase the ball at the last 10 minutes (where this is the moment where they should have fought harder), they took too long to pass the ball (simpan lama lama tak dapat score bang) and yah the list goes on. King Raja has to do some amendment to this area I believe. I think Under 23 team's defender played better (again, just my humble view)

Yah, we are so going to win Oscar Award this year
I should not elaborate much. 90,000 spectators in the stadium (oh well minus those 500 losers in Spore box. Is that the best you can give? 500? Nampak sangat takut) saw what happened. The goal keeper is the one that bring my blood to its boiling point. Sakit otak ke bang asek pegang kepala je? Taknak injured, taknak hantuk kepala pergi main skipping la. and whats with the more than 6 times stretcher moment. Budak stretcher pun malas la dah nak masuk. I dont know, being a sportsperson I am, the most embarassing moment is when you have to be carried out from the field due to injury but I guess in loser-land they enjoy it.

Ref factor
I am so going to kick this fella's ass if I ever see him again. I was so close to even throw my bottle when they passed by the tunnel. He was concentrating on the 'lets-fake-injuries- game played by Singapura-pura and he wasnt firm in his decision. The linesman, OMG dont get me started on this one. pffftttttt.... Ref should not let loser-land controlled his judgement. Come on la, takkan langgar sikit dah ada gegaran otak kot. Please la.

No Mat Yo and Safiq
Hurm, things would be much different if Mat Yo and Safiq were around. But I guess, the luck is not on our side.

Nonetheless, the man of the match; it has to be KFCM, Kuna and Muslim. Seriously. Even Safee tak menyerlah sangat semalam.

Its okay Harimau Malaya, we supporters are not like what we used to be. Boo-ing if you lose and such. We are now matured supporters. We will stand by you whatever happen.

Aummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!

p/s: kesian kat aunty jaga injury loser-land player, asek kena masuk padang je.

Omg, how sad is this story? I cried bucket...

Deal: Comida "The Way You Like It" is...

2011-06-03T15:25:00.004+08:00

Another friday to went through before the weekend, and we were wondering where should we head out for lunch.

My first thought, lets browse some deals should there be any...

Found one!

50% off on food and drinks at Comida, Solaris Dutamas, pay RM20 instead of Rm40 for Gourmet food "The Way We Like It"

Ahhhhh cheap

Lets buy...

Done, so 12.30 we head straight to Comida

ahhhhhh parking was easy at this hour, probably because it was at Block D. Not so high on occupancy just yet

[the interior]

It is a small restaurant that promotes range of Tex-Mex food including variation of Italian food. Comida is actually the brainchild of Basil, a food enthusiast who dreamed of owning a succesful chain of restaurant. The menu is quite wide spread, so it is all up to you to make your choice

They also have some lunch promo starting from Rm16.90 (with complimentary soup and ice lemon tea)

But being greedy, we ordered extra drinks. Heeee...

[ the almost finish comida soup]

Its actually a pumpkin soup. Miza didnt quite like the taste, it is quite distinct and somehow were lacking in the salt department

So the food that we ordered:

Me: Seafood Paella
Miza: BBQ Chicken Pizza
Ina: Hell's pizza
Mr Ir: Fried Steak

Yumssssss.....

And so we waited...

Tick tock tick tock

After 30 minutes still no sign of our food.

*sigh*

You see, one thing about me is I am the type of person who treasures time, and waiting for food in the restaurant for unappropriate amount of time is not considered acceptable to me.

*double sigh*

After almost 45 minutes, the pizza arrived. Thank good for the crunchy thin crust that almost crack in your mouth when you bite it as well as lovely topping. That kinda justify the waiting time

*sorry no pic of pizza, so hungry already*

But I certainly cant say the same for my seafood paella and Mr Ir's Fried steak. It did not worth the wait, so to speak. The paella was too salty and the rice was a little bit hard.

And his fried steak was so-so. I'd give it 5.5/10

[Seafood Paella: RM35.90]

*again sorry no pic of fried steak. heeee....*

They are still new I think, so I might give it a try again for JUST the pizza. But not sure whether I can wait that long.

Hurm.....

Deal: Tanzini it is...

2011-06-02T11:40:00.003+08:00

Did I tell you I was hooked to getting a deal from several websites that provides goood deals/voucher for all sorts of stuff i.e Food, Spa, services even Pet Workshop

I was one of the gazillion people who keep on receiving email alerts from you name it Groupon, MilkADeal, dealmates, MyDeal and what not....

I purchased one voucher from dealmates in April, a RM30 voucher for RM70 worth of food @ Tanzini restaurant.
Simple calculation means you saved RM40 (57% discount to be exact)

Made a reservation and wallah we were there last week.

I was looking forward for this fine dining experience. The last one that we had was during booTak's birthday and we were pretty busy ever since. Ive been wanting to come to this place to taste their selection of fine cuisine where they only promote freshness in their food.
"Fresh from the farm" they said....

[source: Tanzini website]

We were addressed by our name once we step in (I wonder how they know my name, must be Im the only Malay girl who made a reservation that night). We chose weekdays as weekends they are usually fully booked.

The ambience is pretty spectacular. The restaurant occupies 2 storeys of the building (28 and 29th floor to be exact). So far we like it

[source: Tanzini's website]

We did not wait too long to order. We ordered Fruity Smoked Duck Salad (RM26) as our appetizer, Grilled La Jade Perch (RM46) for my main and Pasta Puttanesca (RM42) for his main.

[the menu]

Ouh we also had complimentary bread with 3 choices of condiments, balsamic vinegar and olive oil, salsa and some spicy stuff.

[Fruity Smoked Duck]

This was awesome. The freshness of the veggie coupled with some small fruit cuts accompanied the saltiness of the duck.

Yummeh!!!! Clearly a good choice for an appetizer.

[Grilled La Jade Perch]

Presentation? Nice! Taste? Double NICE.

Okay thats the only thing that I can comment. Hehehehe...its memorable.

Ouh I forgot to take the pic of the Pasta Puttanesca. But it wasnt that good anyway. 5/10 for taste and presentation.

The night ended with chocolate ice cream for sharing. hehehehe...Yah, we are cheap people

Head your way to Tanzini then. Make sure to make reservations.

2011-05-31T10:59:00.002+08:00

Okay,
The 'deal phenomena' is back

As I surf those sites that provide good deals religously, I always managed to purchase good deals at an extremely discounted price.

Today,
I bought one pretty good deal

RM37 instead of RM655 for a Top Level Domain Name + 2GB Hosting plan for 1 year

cool eeyy?

I need this for my future project
Lets hope that the project will run smoothly as planned

Amin....

[the payment page]

Did I tell you that I am now hooked to buying deals online. Its pretty cheap I must say. The one that I will always try to search everyday will be deals on food...duhhh. For a peanut price I get to dine at fine dining restaurant like Tanzini and stuff. Oh review on Tanzini soon. Stay tuned [sigh, what am I thinking, is there such person who cant wait to read my blog?]

[done deal. pfftttt ayat bankers]

[pretty awesome deal]

To those who planned to open up small scale businesses online, this is definitely a must get for you. Think about it

You have 2 more days to be exact

Its Chatime

2011-05-27T16:33:00.003+08:00

Ever since Nadiah introduced me to bubble tea, I got hooked to it.

Big time!

Every week I must pay a visit
Regardless what is the brand
And every week there will be additional pound added to my existing weight
But still no sign of calories burning exercise done

*sigh*

So if I keep on writing about how I cant be skinny anymore, feel free to click the 'x' button on top

So, coming back to the bubble tea phenomena, its madness
Everytime I passed by any kiosk that sell bubble tea, the line is like an endless tail
But I still q anyway
Hehehehe

One after another bubble tea brand mushroom-ing around Klang Valley, and of it is none other than 'Chatime'

Yah

Its Cha (Tea) time

Chatime has a few different location; Berjaya Times Square, Sunway Pyramid, SS2Mall, The Gardens and the latest one is at SS15, Subang (yeayyyyy)

So far Ive been to 3 location and these 3s are always jam packed with customers. They are all here for the most famous premium milk tea. Not just milk tea, they have more than 50 flavours to choose from, everything is under the sun including tea that you cant even pronounce like "Komquat Lemon what not", and "Chrysanthemum Pu-Erh (eerrrr) Tea" and many more....

Of course to be safe you always go with Pearl Milk Tea
Nothing can go wrong with this yummy drink

[Famous Pearl Milk Tea]

Chatime uses specially brewed tea and good quality milk for their drinks, unlike most kiosk that uses powder base for their milk tea.

Chatime Pearl Milk tea has some distinct taste that is so rich you keep on smiling when you drink it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The bubble also taste nicer than the rest

Of course with premium quality, you pay premium price for it

[mahal sikit la kan]

The waiting time is a little bit more than the usual bubble tea kiosk. Understandable as the q for ordering is the same. That makes you feel like ordering more than a cup to justify the waiting time

Yah, it is all excuses to drink more bubble tea

[my order for today: Brown Rice Green Milk Tea and Passion Fruit QQ]

Chatime has this system where tevery receipt generated has its own unique order number so they will key in your number as an indicator that your order is ready. So you dont have to "excuse me, excuse me dah siap ke belum"

Pretty smart!

[and my order number is 2778. sigh]

You'll be a convert once you try it

Energizer Night Mare Race 2011: Again

2011-04-17T12:13:00.005+08:00

*UPDATED*

ENERGIZER Malaysia will refund and courier the goodie bag to all runners.

Yippie

Well done ENR

*not so much to Expose thou*

Event: Energizer Night Race 2011

Distance: 11km

Venue: SIC Sepang

Pacer: booTak

Okay,

How shall I start..

Well to be honest I really dont know how....

ENR is well known among runners as the biggest night race in Malaysia

Remember my post about ENR 2010?

I thought last year's event was the worst. Somehow they managed to TOP it this year. From bad to worst, only an expert can do that. People strive to become better but apparently not to this event

Last year's chaos begin with the chaotic running kit collection. I cant say the same this year as it was really organised with sufficient volunteers to help all runners with their race kit collection. So I thought oh well they did learnt some lesson after all.

Maybe they have taken into consideration all those complaints last year and improve for a better race this year

Boy, was I wrong completely!

We reached SIC at around 7pm and was searching for parking area. We were told that parking costs us RM10. Heh? must charge ke? Being a cipsket we are, we parked at the road side. Hehehe

As we walked inside the grandstand area, we were not sure on the location. Wheres the entrance? wheres the starting grid and stuff. After 10mins of time wasted trying to find the starting grid entrance, we were told that we need to enter the tunnel to cross to the other side

Yeay! I dont have to warm up as the tunnel was completely hotttt and tonnes of people were around trying to cross to the starting area. It was suffocating experience I must say

We reached the head lights collection only to realise that there were NONE left. Hurm, trying to be positive, "sokay la bukan kita nak pakai pun head lights tu". Walking like a headless chicken trying to find our way to the starting area was tiring enough. Mmmm mcm tak payah lari je dah penat already

When we finally managed to find the starting area entrance, the 21km race has began. I felt excited and we stretched and 2 mins before starting time, we were still stucked and cant even enter the starting block. Finally we managed after most of the 11km runners finally began their race.

Okay, I love F1. so i am going to be a little bit bias here. I love the part where I had the chance to run on the track, theres a pros and cons here. As I practically remember all the corner (even their names) so I dont really find it interesting since I practically know whats gonna happen next. So eventhough I was excited to run on the track but the quality of my run was so-so je la

We finished the first lap with a very chaotic scene. 11km runner only ran 1 lap since they have no idea whats the distance like, rude marshall and everyone was practically have no idea what to do next. We continued our run and finish the race within the QT

But what was more shocking was the end of the race. No guidance on what and where to go next. I saw 2 long q and we have no clue why these people were q-ing for. We went inside only to find out that theres only 1 crew were there to handle goodie bag collection and it was chaotic.

I heard one of the crew shouted "stupid people, can you be civilised"

*gulp*

Apakahhhhhhhhh!!!

Why so PMS?

The moment she shouted like one crazy lady most of the runners lost their patience already and started to push here and there to get their goodie bag.

Okay, I know to some of you, you may think it is just goodie bag la wei. Why so semangat to get it. But to us runners thats the token that serve as our satisfaction after a long race (well not so long la for me 11km only. hehehhe)

To be treated in such a way is totally unacceptable. Think about it. We paid fortune for the race fee and end up getting nothing. Heck not even water and banana. *sigh*. The rude MC keep on cursing people for not being civilised and I wonder why since they are they one who started the chaos by treating people like shit

We gave up. We didnt take our medal and we walked out. The moment we walked out the organizer shut off the pit stop entrance and they almost hit one girl. Let alone the way they 'give' the goodie bad by throwing it to people, that is just unbearable.

*sigh*

This morning I woke up with tonnes of FB post cursing ENR fanpage

go and browse it or watch this instead

Master Chef Malaysia

2011-04-09T13:52:00.006+08:00

One thing I've learned during these 7-8 years staying on my own is, in order to survive you have to know how to cook. Some of you may ask, "eh can eat outside whattttt"

Nahhhh

My mama taught me one thing, that is homecook meal is the best way to live a healthy life. Ahahahha so not if you keep cooking Masak Lemak cili padi, Kari kepala ikan and what not.

*drooling with lazy eyes*

*slaps back to reality*

Anyway, to my good friends, they know that I can cook. Maybe not as good as Gordon Ramsay or Nigella Lawson, but things that I cooked usually end up in people's belly instead of their bin.

While trying to get my gold weight again, I think the best way to keep in shape is to dine-in. Not at any restaurant but my own restaurant. Hehehe. So, last months Ive been trying to eat healthy and cook healthy stuff too. Some of you may think that healthy stuff is boring. Hell no. They are fun, interesting to cook as well theres a lot flavour that you can twist and turn to nice dish

I feel charitable today. So I think why not I share with you my own recipe for healthy living

My favourite dish!

Shrimpy Aglio Olio Spaghetti

Ingredients:

200g shrimp

1 pieces salami (cut into small pieces)

6-7 pieces of asparagus

Sliced mushroom (you can get the ready made at stores)

1 -2 chilli (you can use those big pepper aswell, god I forgot what does it call)

300g spaghetti

1-2 garlic

a pinch of salt

a pinch of thyme

a pinch of italian herbs

a pinch of black pepper

a pinch of chili flakes

Olive oil

Making it! Duh!

Boil spaghetti according to instruction. Make sure to put a pinch of salt in the boiling water. Drain your pasta with a little bit of butter or a small spoon of olive oil

Put a little bit of olive oil in the frying pan, sautee the chopped garlic until almost yellow and put in the salami. Until almost brown, put in the shrimp

Sautee for 1-2 minutes and put in the asparagus and sliced mushroom

Flavour in with salt, pepper, thyme and italian herbs.

Tossed in your spaghetti and mix it with the ingredient

Sprinkle some chili flakes on top and serve

Next one: Grilled chicken with couscous/grilled vegetable

Okay I am a bit lazy to type now. Maybe I will continue later

zzzZzzzZzzzzzzzz

Gobo Upstairs

2011-04-06T12:26:00.006+08:00

1st March only came once a year, means that's the day where I have to crack my head thinking where should I bring booTak for his birthday (which also means this is a long overdue post. heck, I will still write about it)

After much research done and 3 times changing location (I was practically like one's PA, trying to call restaurant and book places), I set my mind at Gobo Upstairs. Reason being? simple! From 10 posts written by other bloggers, 9 gave 2 thumbs up. So, why bother thinking still!

One thing with booTak his expectations is as high as the twin tower. If you plan to throw a surprise party for him, think twice because he will suspect it at the very inception.

"R u trying to do surprise thing for my birthday?"

"Erm, no. So not! Why so perasan?"

"Better not, I just want simple dinner with you"

"pffttt"

So, with that I specifically act as if I have nothing special plan, only that I told him...

"we're going to KLCC, yang kat atas-atas punya restaurant la k"

I bet he must be very kaciwa. Hahahaha... so off we went to KLCC

Arrived, and I tricked him that I need to go to Traders to see my friend to grab something from him. Much to his disapproval and sad face, he still tag along. Hoping that I will change my mind and take him to somewhere else I guess.

When we reached Traders, we stop at Level 6 and I was like...

"tadaaaaa....we r dining here. Ngeh ngeh ngeh"

"citt!'

Okay, thats the response he gave. Hahaha. Coupled with Omg Omg why you tipu me. Eleh berlakon konon. pffftt

We begin our dinner with this lobster bisque with chocolate oil (RM26++). Well, he liked it, me not so much. I can barely eat the lobster, is there any?

mind the quality. I only have my blackberry camera with me. The taste of the soup to me was a little bit salty. Or maybe it was just me as I saw he was licking his spoon. Haih, cannot bring anywhere la this man.

trying to get every possible drop from the bowl. *sigh*

Done with the appetizer, the main course arrived. I had the Grilled Cod Fish with Salad (RM55++)

Verdict?

YUMMEHHHHHH! The fish was grilled to perfection and as I cut it slice-by-slice, it falls perfectly and it wasnt flaky at all. I like....

He ordered some Wagyu Beef Steak something something served with salad (RM80++)

. Uhhhh, so perfect! The beef is like melt in your mouth so to speak. even without sauce, it was still good.

We also had some side dishes, the sauteed mushroom (RM19++) and Green Beans with creamy sauce (RM15++). The green beans really compliment my fish in a perfect way.

Before we came, I told the person in charge that it is a birthday dinner (uhum, i was expecting some free cake from them),

The very-nice-guy suggested that we give him a marble cheese cake (price unknown) with a candle and the staff will sing some birthday song

My only reply was

NO!!!!!

He hates those singing together-gether clap clap hand kinda birthday celebration. I guess because he is old already. Hahahahaha.

So when the waiter/waitress came full semangat singing their heart out i was like

Danggggggg!!!!!

and he was like

"pfffttttt"

and they spelled his name wrongly!

apakahhhhhhh

Rizhan --> Rizaham!

His response

"BF lain ke ni?

Cissnesss!!!

Cafe Barbera, Bangsar

2011-04-04T12:07:00.006+08:00

Received BBM from Miza, miza: "babe, jom makan chocolate fondant kat cafe barbera" me: "heh, is it something like chocolate souffle in Junior Masterchef?" miza: "erm, so called la. but this choc fondant is really gooood. Jom la" me: "hurm, okie will see you there in half an hour" Hokay, I have read some post on Chocolate Fondant at Cafe Barbera earlier. But never have the privillege to pay a visit. First, because Im not really a chocolate sucker in any sense, and second of all I rarely dine out nowadays. Reason? Simple, DIET maaaa.....hehhehee. so the best way of dieting is to dine in and cook simple food that contains less carbs. pfffttttt... So, almost 45 mins later (yah I was procrastinating because I know how late I will be, they will be at least 15 minutes later. huh), I was at Jalan Telawi Bangsar trying to withdraw money from 3 different ATM with MEPS label on it but failed. Damn you MEPS. Technologies nowadays always failed me whenever I need them the most. Actually I dont really know this Cafe Barbera, never been so I have no idea where it is actually. So I thought, Bangsar...hrrmmmm sure at Telawi kan? NOPE!!!!!! I bbm-ed the girls asking their whereabouts only to find out that I was actually at the wrong road. Hahahaa. The cafe is located at Jalan Maarof la, not Jalan Telawi. Sighhhh So off I went to Jalan Maarof, its located nearby Cafe Rebung anyway, for a better landmark. Went in and saw the girls and they laughed at me for my stupidity. Double sigh. As it was already 9pm that time, I rushed them to make up their mind on what to order. Enough changing of menu constantly already! Miza ordered Some Shakerato (RM10), combination of coffee and shakes I think. Must be full of fat too. Dang! But she said it taste goooodddaahh. pfftttt....mind me, im not a coffee drinker and will never be one. I ordered a pot of Earl Grey Tea (RM8) and Ina ordered Apple Juice (RM10). I think both are just ordinary drinks lah. So lets go the real thing, the foooooddddd... Ina had this Creamy Mushroom Bruschetta (RM13). Yummehhh, tasted good and even though theres only 4 slice of bread but we didnt really care. We still curi her food. I had Grilled Chicken Ciabbata Sandwich (RM18). Gooooood, the bread was so crispy, I guess they toast it the right way and the vegie was fresh too...I wanted to try their pizza that day but as I was still in the coma-diet zone, I said big no-no to the cheeeesseeeeyyyyy pizza that they have Must come back one day when Im already in size '0'... (as if) Miza had the Aglio Olio Prawn (RM28) and it was yummmeehhh. They managed to customize it to the Asian taste where they put in slices of cili padi. It has a perfect blend of italian herbs and malaysian taste in it. Highly recommended! So, now we reach the real reason why we are here. The chocolate fondant!

Hurmmmm.....the chocolate fondant (RM12) was rather disappointing I must say. It wasnt as gooey as I expected it. So, we were contemplating should we return it back and request for it to be prepared the way it is supposed to be or just suck it in and enjoy then almost dry fondant U think? Of course we act brave-brave and we requested a nicer one. I was using my '90 seconds' theory of how chocolate souffle should be served right after it is taken out from the oven (thank you to Masterchef US and Junior Mastercher, I know speak some chef language). I even use the Gordon Ramsay theory on how gooey it should be and the waiter is giving me some pffftt look. Hhahahhahaha So they rejected the fondant and made a new one. Still dissapointing as when we cracked the fondant, there were still some batter left uncooked. So, I guess thats the sign from the universe, some karma that I shouldnt eat those kind of fattening food at the first place, now the fondant was like telling me "eat that, sucker" All in all, it was a lovely dinner. I love the ambience and the nice waiter (not the one who gave me the 'wtf, u think u top chef issit). I would probably come back soon, but not for the fondant I guess Address: 18 Lorong Maarof Bangsar Park, 59000, Kuala Lumpur 03 2287 3628 Opens daily from 9am to 11pm GPS Coordinates: N 3 07.732 E 101 40.495

Lounging with Loon: A new perspective in life

2011-03-19T21:42:00.002+08:00

Life is all about going back to your roots, going back to the basic and search the purpose; the purpose of you being created by Allah S.W.T and what is your obligation towards Allah and towards human

I had an amazing opportunity to listen to a new perspective of 'dakwah' in which it was translated via a personal experience. It was indeed the perfect educational talk as well as a little reminder for myself that life is all about how you should get closer to your creator, in all sorts of way

Lounging with Loon was organized by Young Muslim Projects, a group of teen/young community who strives to unite young muslims in Malaysia or KL at least with all sorts of islamic educational talk, with one objective to know and learn Islamic deeper.

MasyaAllah, how we are so blessed with this kind of effort. I understand the hardship encountered by teenagers nowadays to really learn and know Islam. With some sceptical perception that Islamic gathering is only for people who vote for 'Green Party' and some cynical view on Muslim teenagers nowadays makes it very difficult to them to really have the perfect medium to translate it in a more adaptable way

Loon or Amir Muhadith was formerly a rapper for P.Diddy (he was in the 'I Need A Girl' video i think). Loon was born in the mid 70’s in Harlem, New York and born to real life Harlem hustlers, Carol Hawkins and William “Hamburger” Hughley, Loon grew up in the streets witnessing the harsh realities of the inner city ghettos. As a way to escape the craziness of the streets, he began writing diaries of his life with an imaginative twist to at least mentally alter the environment around him

While promoting his new business endeavor, “Loon” found himself touring the world performing in new, international markets. While touring in Dubai, an unsuspecting “Loon” would come face to face with a new awakening that would demand his attention as he heard the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer) being recited in the most beautiful, captivating way from the loudspeakers of the Mosques around him. Intrigued by this sound, he began an in depth study of it’s background, meaning and significance.

In his search, he found himself compelled to embrace the faith whole heartedly, and has become devoted in his quest to understand the true teachings of the Holy Qur’an, and life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. *taken from Loon official website

Loon or brother Amir's interview mostly talked about his experience in the past and how Islam finally bring him to his inner peace. He finally found something that he was searching for all these while.

I was intrigued with his honesty and the way he bring himself now. The way he talk, the way he smile, I would guess that he did not change a bit from the real him. What really change was the way he sees things and his believe that there is no God besides Allah S.W.T.

[ booTak and Rahimi chit chatting with brother Amir ]

At the end of the talk, he told us a very interesting fact.
"Keep on asking for forgiveness from Allah because He is ar-Rahman. He will always forgive you on your misdeeds"

"Be patient. Allah will never test you if you are not capable of handling it"

I personally was really touched by the latter. A lot of things happened to me recently and there were times I almost give up on certain matters. Not anymore, I am indeed a strong person.

Thank you to Rai and Rahimi for the invitation. Educational double date is certainly a thing that we should do often

Today...

2011-02-25T13:59:00.003+08:00

I feel that people ignored 'how i feel'...
+ I feel that M****** is no longer an exciting things to think about....
+ I feel that I have to always adapt to any sort of situation; like it or not...
+ I feel used...
+ I feel like nobody is 'feeling' me....

CRAP!

Im OLD!

2011-02-17T22:00:00.003+08:00

When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life.

A year older, a year wiser....

Love,

Yours Trully

Universal Studio Singapore

2011-02-03T13:55:00.018+08:00

Okay, this is a long overdue entry. Like really looonnngggg overdue.
We had the opportunity to go to the Universal Studio Singapore USS (like last year kot pergi. hehehee), sponsored! so off we go to the Merlion Island!!!!!

As I read the review, most readers suggested that you go as early as possible. Like super early. So we were there at 10am. ye. Sebaik sahaja pintu dibuka kami sudah menyerbu. The line was not that long eventhough it was a 'SOLD OUT' entrance day that day. Ouh ya some tips, whoever wants to go to USS, kindly buy the tickets online prior going. You dont want to be disappointed knowing that you fly to the other side of the country for a SOLD OUT day entrance.

[the famous USS Globe]

More info on USS you can go to this website Resort World

Okay, we started our journey to Ancient Egypt and it was awesome. Ancient pyramids and obelisks stand fast against the sands of time as you are transported to 1930’s Egypt, the Golden Age of Egyptian Exploration. Travel to an era when entire Pharaohs tombs were discovered- and their terrible curses unleashed

[he tried to reach the statue's balls i think]

[fierce! oh well only one remained in character]

[the girl model definitely stays in character]

In Ancient Egypt they only have two kind of entertainment; the Revenge of the Mummy rides and the Treasure Hunters but this is only children I believe. The rides was awesome, we took it twice. Hehehehe...ouh the waiting time is approximately 30mins so yah be prepared. No heels k

While wondering around the USS, you may be lucky to meet all those characters and I was lucky to meet the most adorable character ever in Shrek. Nope, not Shrek himself, and not Princess Fiona.

[ITS PUSS IN BOOTS!!!!!!]

Puss In Boots was adorable and we dance for about 5 seconds. Hehehehe. I managed to catch Shrek too but the camera died on me that time. *sigh*

Theres so many interesting places to visit and so many shows. The one that I like the most was Universal Classic Monsters in “Monster Rock. The show that filled with great music, dancing, comedy, special effects, and enough pyrotechnics to wake the dead (quote from USS website). And all the buildings are super awesome too.

[the construction workers]

[the strollers parking. No parking charges I must say. Sweettt!]

The park were divided into 7 main area namely Far Far Away, Hollywood, Sci-Fi City, New York, Lost World, Ancient Egypt and MADAGASCAR! I love Madagascar. But too bad their rides are yet to be operationalised so I guess its another visit then.

[Penguins are toooooo cute]

[in front of Shrek 4D Adventure]

In Shrek 4D adventour you can see, hear and FEEL the action right from your seat as you join Princess Fiona & Shrek in a fairytale adventure*. Awesome. Ada air sembur2 kat muka jugak. Hehehhehhe

[he and his things about postbox]

[Far Far Away}

[belum bukak lagi BattleStar Galactica]

[I wanna get-oot]

[feels so sexy already]

Anyway, you wont find trouble searching for food in USS, theres plenty of choices and that includes Halal food. We had the delicious fried chicken at Goldilock and its SGD6++ per meal. A little bit pricey but heck everything is expensive if you convert it to RM. If you compare apple to apple I believe Singaporeans are enjoying a very goold lifestyles there. A cuppa @ Starbucks will only cost u SGD4++. Oh well, kalau RM4 kat sini not even coffee at Old Town kot? no?

I suggest you bring lots of supply of mineral water and some bread for in between meal snack. And wear sports shoes okie. Heels is a big no no. Bring your kids, oh well adults pun akan happy at this park. TRUST ME....

Enjoy USS! I absolutely did!

Teruja aku mengejarmu....

2011-02-03T13:44:00.003+08:00

Babak pertama bermula saat ku terlihat mu
Waktu seakan terhenti terpinga mencari
Rasa yang takkan terungkap tak pernah ku alami
Cuba aku mengerti

Takkan ku menemui lagi walau gelapnya hari
Ku yakin akan temui semuanya di sini
Walau ke mana kau pergi tetap akan ku cari
Ku tak akan berhenti

Teruja aku mengejar mu
Bermimpi memiliki mu
Tanpa perlu ku endahkan dunia, dunia
Biarkan ku terus berlari
Cuba merajai mimpi
Tiap bayang mu akan ku jejaki nanti

Drama - Babak Pertama

Hiatus

2011-02-03T11:31:00.002+08:00

Forgive me for the long hiatus of mine
Same old same old, work has been up to my neck and I almost drown...
Nonetheless, I will try to post something here about what had happened, what will happen and what should happen in my life
Not that you care but heck Im gonna post it anyway
Hehehehe

Till then

Angel...

2011-01-06T10:22:00.003+08:00

Angel
I have a dream of you I can’t defined
You’ve been on my mind
Don’t go
I feel lost without you by my side
Lost and on my own
Yeah I’m falling for an angel

Angel
Your brightest star is shining next to mine
Every night and day
You know
Stars exploded then they fade away
Then they fade away
Yeah I’m falling for an angel
Yeah I’m falling for an angel

Would you please be my babe
Come by and I lay you down
I’m loving when you say I love you too

Won’t you please be my honey
I’m sorry that I let you down
Your eyes are breaking my heart in two
Break my heart in two

Welcome 2011 @ Jake's Charbroil Steak

2011-01-02T19:55:00.003+08:00

First of all, I would like to wish all my readers (well, not that I have many) a very Happy New Year
May we have a wonderful year ahead and may Allah bless us in anything that we embrace, we believe in, we feel, we do and most of all we love.

Before the beginning, there must be an ending.
Well for me and booTak, we ended 2010 with a NYE dinner for the both us and us being 'matured', there were no more party, no more heading to club for countdown and no more excitement to flocked around teenagers to bid 2010 goodbye.

So we went to Jake's Charbroil Steak @ Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang
As the name implies, most dishes were meat base and booTak was loving it.

The restaurant was fully booked for the night as lots and lots of people flocked around BB area for some NYE celebration.

[ouh, they have NYE dinner set too. But it was sexpensive. YEIKS!]

A lot of meat selection can be chosen entirely up to your liking. They have sirloin, tenderloin, ribs, shank, you name it. Or should I say they have the whole body of the lembu up for customer to choose.

[some of the selection of beef]

After waited for almost 20minutes, our food arrived. The friendly waiter offered us the sour cream for the potato as well as their signature wasabi mayonaise. yeiks....if you have nose blocked, please have this instead of clarinase. Seriously

[our friendly waiter for the night]

So, I chose the BBQ Lamb Ribs [RM58] for my main. Since I saw the price was wayyyy too expensive and we were already there anyway [cannot cabut u know], so we opted for only main and no appetizer nor dessert. Hehehe.

[ the ribs was succulent and the BBQ sauce was good]

booTak ordered the Aust. Wagyu Sirloin Steak [RM68] for himself and he ordered it medium well. Oh well.

[yummy]

Okay, theres a reason why I put the price of our meal. The ultimate reason is to basically to try my talent as a food reviewer as I received email asking me to review their restaurant for fun (oh, not Jake's thou, I dont think they need that). It was from a complete stranger who thinks that I am honest enough to give honest rating and review about food that I tasted. Oh well, I am not a food reviewer you guys. But theres no harm in trying right

Second of all, I would like to draw your attention on how expensive a meal can be these days. On the menu, there were this Aussie beef which I dont remember the dishes name and it costs RM227. Yup, you heard me right, Rm227 for a meal. Wow, I have to be honest I was quite shocked. That can easily feed a normal family of 5 (parents and 3 kids) for a week with a normal selection of food and dishes.

This definitely makes me thinking how much I have wasted in life and how much of these can actually help other people to survive. *sigh*. I believe in 2011, I will try my level best to resume all my charity works that I used to work on before and perhaps contribute to the society.

But, since it is still 2010 (that night) and I have already ordered! Maka makan sajalah labu.

Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of service, quality of food as well as the ambience of the restaurant. To anyone who feels like eating a whole expensive cow, do make your way to Jake's Charbroil Steak.

They have 2 locations thou
1. Starhill Shopping Centre
(03-21481398)

or

2. Medan Damansara

Enough of food review then.

All, in all I must say this year it was different. Different in a sense where I do believe that 2010 went by so fast till I cant even catch up.
There were so many things that I still dont have the opportunity to have it, do it or be into it, and its no surprise when my other half mentioned the same thing too...

Is it us who were slow? or is it time awaits no people who feels that doing/completing or embarking into something can be done at their own sweet time.

One of my mission for 2010 that were flushed under the sink was completing my first 42km run. My first marathon. What make it even worst is the fact that I have already registered for it. Yah, I did.

I couldnt bring myself up for the challenge, I let myself down and I gave up even before I try it. That brings me to a point where I believe I am now becoming even more pesimistic in life and it is daunting.

Nonetheless, I really hope for 180degree change of me in terms of being objective this year and I hope I can achieve it.

Till then,

Happy New Year

OOoooooOOooo...MA! LAY! SIA!

2010-12-30T22:20:00.006+08:00

Okay,
How do I begin...
I seriously dont know how to actually,
I seriously dont...
Why dont I let the picture the wonder?

Yah?

Shall we....

Okay but before that some introduction...
Me with my girls including the guardian for the day made our way to Bukit Jalil Stadium on 26 Dec 2010
For what you may ask?
Aiya, mestilah for AFF Suzuki Cup: 1st Final Leg

Actually the plan was a girls night out thing,
But booTak insist on being the guardian, well at least 2 hours before Ina's cousins reach the stadium
So off we go...

[ okay sebelum tu kita beli jersey mesia dulu k]

[inot macho gile jalan manakala saya berwajah ceria. MESIAAAA!]

Well notice all the indonesian supporters behind us? I was a bit cuak to be honest. Depa dok jerit INDONESIA, INDONESIA

[ yah laskar garuda ya]

Too many people I must say. Seriously. Never in my life i went to any match that at 5.45pm people has already flocked around the stadium. NEVER....everyone wit their Malaysian Jersey regardless original or ciplak. (well including me. hehehe) and with all sorts of fashion.

[ topi yang cool gitu]

While waiting for his friends to come, booTak was checking out the stadium trying to find good spot for him and his friends. We went early as Appu has already booked us perfect seats with great view. Thanks a lot appu!

[ checking out the area]

[camwhoring before the game starts]

Okay kita tgk gamba je la k

[ the girlssssss]

Since booTak cant find his friends (yah communication was really bad) and they arrived late, so he decided to just hang with us. Cool, the more the merrier!

The first half was intense. Malaysia team played well with Kuna as the midfielder. That guy was awesome. However, i think he might be little bit nervous because he did blew some good chances

The man of the match (well at least for the first half leg) were definitely Safee and Norshahrul Idlan. Timnas Garuda was clueless. Our homeboys were awesomeeee!

So after the big incident of Laser Menglaser (blah la markus, berlakon je lebih).

Okay pardon me,

I was emo that time with that Markus Menikus.

Pondan siut!

We managed to get our first goal with the brilliant help of Norshahrul Idlan. We were shocked but we jumped with joy. Look at booTak's face.

[ kembang kembang hidung]

Ouh I have video too.

Hhehehee

[gegak gempita keadaan di stadium after we scored the first goal]

And the night couldnt get any better. We scored the next 2 goals. Weeehoooooooooooo

[ 3-0 woooooo]

[ w00t w00t!!!]

The night ended perfectly. Well as you can see the timnas garudas' fan left early. hehheehe. but not much of chaos happened. I think they're pretty scared too. They were outnumbered big time.

We stayed for a little while for celebration

Well done Harimau Malaya!!!!!

Ouh, I have another video tooo

After last night's game, Malaysia won the cup with aggregate 4-2.

Well DONE!
Im proud to be Malaysian

Well lepas ni saya janji beli jersey ori k

Baby All I Want For Christmas is You....

2010-12-24T10:35:00.008+08:00

So, Xmas is aorund the corner, not that I celebrated it but more to liking the idea of a day when your love ones crack their head to get you that special something as Xmas gift, the day where kids wake up extremely early and run over to the xmas tree to check out their present, and people standing around the piano and singing together (or is it only in movies?)

Nonetheless, I love festive season, regardless which one. After all, we are 1Malaysia kan?

Since xmas is nearby, I thought it would be a great idea to list down my wish list. Not that I wish for anyone to get me this. *hint hint*
Just that I think it is fun to at least have a 'wishlist'

The first stuff that I wish I have now is this....

A purple netbook that I can carry around almost everywhere without hassle. Hehehe. not that I dont like to use the internet via my bb but sometimes its too slow. *sigh* and the screen is too small. Since I dont have any plan to change to a better bb and I love my bb anyway, so perhaps getting a netbook would be an amazeballs idea right?

further more, its purple. Me likey....

Next stuff,
This...

a brand new running shoe. Newton to be exact. I have been using my adizero Mana and Ace for a year already and both my babies shown some rebel signs already. *sigh*
I need something that can fit my running style and what more can I ask than a new cool newton shoes.

or perhaps this...

Fleet feet running shoe. But they only have in States kan?

source: Google

isnt this amazeballss??? (okay I think I watched too much of Guiliana and Bill)
If you are a runner experiencing shin splints, foot pain or aching ankles, Fleet Feet is the best for you. Or at least to Guiliana then. Oh, did u know that she did the Chicago Rock n Roll Half Marathon? Hehehhe.

God, I have to stop watching G&B already

Okay, another stuff in line is this super cool baby!

source: Google

The Beartooth GTX's XTS system includes a forefoot plate that protects the foot from bruises caused by exposed roots and loose rocks, and its gusseted tongue helps keep out dirt and debris. Tackle the most hazardous trails confidently with Omni-grip outsole technology, built for maximum traction in challenging terrain

Oh me so likey.....

Or perhaps this one

ever since my last hiking trip in 2007 (Mount Kinabalu via Mersilau), I did not really have an adventourous hiking trip anymore. Nada....
And the last that I went for a mild hiking in Cameron Highlands makes me crave for me. I think I want to start hiking, camping in a serious terms again. So I probably need this baby right?
Columbia's tent has always been the best...like you cant even imagine how easy you can pasang memasang the parts. and its so light anyway.

Oh me so likey again....

Or

Perhaps this one

but its too expensive lah kan?
Dont cha think so?

But rest assured I can tell you this,

I so wish I get to do this,
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

the stupid loans that tied my financials to its core.
*sigh*

I wish I can be free from this stupid loan...
I believe tonnes of us feels the same way too....

Merry Xmas everyone

Living up to the expectations

2010-12-16T09:28:00.004+08:00

Have you ever feel that sometimes your life is all about living up to expectations? well not yours but others.

Is it bad if you feel such way?

Thats what I feel now. I feel that whatever I did, will never live up to people's expectations.
Theres always a 'but' in their sentences...

Person A: "I can give you this much but I expect you to work harder than ever. Prove to us that you deserve this"
Me: "Okay"

Person B: "I cannot be the only person to untangle your dainty emotions; you have to as well"
Me: *pregnant pause*

Person C: "This is lower than what I expected from you. I know maybe you think you've done your best but its not enough"
Me: *clueless*

These are just among the 3 incidents that occured this week. This is not an exhaustive list. As rightly pointed out by Person C where she's aware than I have done my best yet not enought, it makes me wonder can people ever be satisfied with whatever they have/received in their life?

I aint no angel, Im not perfect but at least I know im not stupid

Its tiring when you are living a life where you are not your own priority anymore, its others. I have once live a life where I care shitless for others. My only priority is my ownself and I was happy that time. Sounded selfish but at least I am not miserable.

Here when I am trying to make a change and to act for a greater good not just for me but also for people surrounds me, I failed. and boy i failed miserably.

I know life its not fair, I get it but somehow I feel fair is too subjective for us to even understand. Whats fair for me may not be fair for others; vice versa. I feel it is not fair if you blurt out whatever things that you believe, feel or even think only to realise that it is going to bite you back in the end. I'd rather keeping it to myself but this will bring no good to me as it will give an accumulative impact to my own feelings

So, who will you choose?

Your own self or others?

Greetings

2010-12-08T07:19:00.003+08:00

Okay, maybe I am a little bit too late for this, nonetheless it is always appropriate to just wish it somehow.

As a Muslim, we celebrated our new year yesterday, yesterday marked the arrival of new year in our Islam Calendar.

Well, there is not much if celebration here in this land, as this country is no longer known as the country that embrace Islam as its main religion. Sad, because we are so nearby; us and them.
There's not even a public holiday but I figured muslims here dont really mind as some of them dont even realize it was Awal Muharram yesterday

I would like to draw your attention to some of interesting facts that I feel act as hindrance to the development of Islam here. Well at least development to serve the basis of living here....

Here, it is very expensive to obtain a 'halal-certificate' from its significant authority. Im not too sure why it is expensive but yah it happened. As rightly pointed out by my cousin who stays here with her PR certs, thats the reason why most restaurants especially hawker stall wish not to adhere to it and expand their market, as they thought it wont necessarily break even their cash register.

Secondly, most of the organisation here do not pay adequate attention to the needs of performing prayer. Eventhough muslim comprises of at least (safely say; maybe more) 20% of the communities here, there is no facilities such as surau especially at high end places as well as main attraction/places here.

Hence the reason I find it difficult to basically love this country. Well besides the extremely low crime rate which I like and the safety for women to basically wonder around at 12.00midnight without having any fear, I feel i cant survive in this country. or maybe I can. Haih we'll see.

Till then

Long overdue

2010-12-05T19:23:00.002+08:00

*sigh*

It has been so long since I last wrote something here.
I even missed the chance to join the hype of 'wet race' report last 2 weeks.
Extremely busy even I dont have time for fb.
Ahahaa

Nonetheless, will write more soon, since I have some free time now.
Being away can only bring a blessing in disguise
:)

I've just landed and I miss home already
Boo-hoo

PBIM: Here we come...

2010-11-15T09:19:00.004+08:00

Okay, how do I begin...
5 more days to PBIM,
Ermm not enough miles yet,
Lack of preparation and bla bla bla...
Yah some of you may have read the almost similar post written last year...
Hahaha...I guess that would pretty much sum up my kind of preparation when it comes to running the race..in particular Penang Bridge Marathon....

Its daunting...
everytime when I started my weekend run (either with booTak or Tottie), it would be the same
The first 15minutes would be breathing chaos drama,
The next 30minutes would be cramp
and the next 15 minutes would be sakit perut pulak...

I guess I will never be ready for any race
Its always be excuses one after another..
I have to put a stop on it

So....
Im going to PBIM with an open heart,
Im going with the thought to actually try and finish it
with good timing I really hope
Eventhough my one and only motivator will not be joining, (*sigh*)
But I guess life goes on...

So to all my friends, readers or whoever will be going to Penang for the PBIM, hope to see you guys around. To Kak Julin, REALLY HOPE to see you...

Good luck guys.

Well, before we go some good articles for us to read...

POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
by Randy Pausch

Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with,
people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.
Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

well, think about it guys....

Bon Bon Sai Sai

2010-11-07T20:24:00.000+08:00

Its been a while...

Super busy nowadays, with tonnes of deliverables, tight datelines, exam, handling a thing or two in life. Tiring but heck, its life. So we gotta suck it in, breath again and move on.

So, super quality time includes spending times with super cool people and doing super cool stuff. Well actually it doesnt have to be super cool stuff, as long as it involves booTak, then its fine
:)

Hurm, okay...so we went to this Bonsai Carnival held at Jalan Rukun, Taman Bahagia, Jalan Klang Lama. It took us almost 45mins from Subang to reach this place since we dont have any GPS with us and boys being boys they never ask for directions.

Cliche

Neways, upon reaching I can already see peoples creating a queue to be in. Well suprisingly not only old people like bonsai, teenagers does too. Ahahaha...
Everybody brought with them their bonsai collection for competition and also for free viewing.
Hurm, i let the picture do the talking la k....

Silakan

* one fascinated guy with his camera

*"sniff sniff...how come no smell at all ni awak?" - pardon my bimbo moment

*this one is super awesome

* the row of bonsais

* the row of bonsais again...

*ouh i love this one. Red in color

* Selling price at Rm1000. CAN U IMAGINE?

Well, we didnt buy anything because it was too freakin expensive thou booTak would love to get one bonsai to bring home. and theres not much picture of other bonsai tree as well as the rain poured cats and dogs 30mins after we arrived. Poor thing, sian dia beriyer nak jenjalan lagi nengok pokok pokok dia.

If you ask me will you go to Bonsai Carnival again

Jawapan saya ialah....

YES, only if takde persembahan ular kat situ. Its scary. (alamak takde gambar persembahan ular)

I ran and it was painful

2010-10-31T21:52:00.003+08:00

Sedih....

Yah thats how I felt this morning.

I had the usual morning run (well cant really say its usual anyway now since I have missed it for about 2 months already) with Tottie today...

and boy it was painful

You see, PBIM is around the corner, and I have not done anything besides booking the famous Eastin Hotel and Resort @ Tanjung Bungah for our accomodation.

Bersedia dari aspek penginapan je adalah tidak mencukupi kaedahnya kan?

So Ive decided to get the ball rolling, AGAIN...maka berlarilah kami seawal jam 6.20 pagi tu kan
For the first 10minutes I felt as if my muscle were burnt with no mercy.
Everything felt so tight and I felt as if it was tearing apart (drama sungguh)
I told myself "heh, nak half marathon kemendenyer lari 10minit dah sakit gini"
Looked at tottie in front of me running effortless as if she was having fun wasnt helping either

*sigh*

I have to do something
I must run
I must get my physical ability to be at its top position
I must...

Lets Go KL - Nike City Run 10.10.10

2010-10-10T16:50:00.007+08:00

Event : KL vs SG Nike City 10k Run
Date : 10.10.10 (Sunday)
Venue : KLCC Parking (Starting),
Route : All over KL including AKLEH
Pacer : Tottie and Yoes

Okay, so some of you must have heard earlier bout this challenge - meng-challenge between KL and SG on who run better. So today's the day. 10.10.10 to be exact. Cool date but not so cool run la I must say

You see, I have not been running since SCKLM2010. Ever since the race, I hangged my running shoe (well ekceli I put it for a quite good 4 month's rest) as well as my running attire. Reason being? Well, simple. Vitamin 'M' adalah memenuhi badan ini. Before this, I had cancelled at least 3 race namely MPSJ 10k Run, Newton Challenge and another one what race ntah lupa. So this time I really cant say no nemore.

*sigh*

booTak did not run today due to bad health condition. Well ekceli he was injured so he better not run at all la kan. So, he was the photographer for today, so called la until what incident. Haih...nantilah saya ceritakan.

Neways, parking KLCC nearby Binjai was the starting grid for the race. I would safely say around 6k people were there today. or maybe more. I wonder how many participants SG had for today. Hmmmmm

The race started at 7.15am. Exact! The only thing that I can conclude was theres too many kiddo around. or at least teenagers. So, u all know teenagers when they got little bit excited, they all run and sprint as if they only have 400m to go. Hehehe. Sampai yang terjatuh pun ada nyah. Mak tak reti nak komen eksited beno kome ni

Ran passed by Eden Village, Pavillion area, Bukit Bintang (apparently theres another race too. hooHa Fun Run), Jalan Sultan Ismail, KLCC, Renaissance kemudian moh ke AKLEH kaedahnya. Few KMs in AKLEH and then we were out back at Tabung Haji area and ran for 500km more to the finishing line. I think its better to sum up the race with points and LIKEY and ME NO LIKEY

Huh! (emo seketika)

LIKEY

DJs that were stationed at almost every 3km. They managed to get the event hip hip and hooray

Good traffic control. Pakcik polis menjalankan tugas dengan jayanya

Event crew was helpful. And theres also enuff medic on the road. Or at least to my thinking la

ME NO LIKEY

The concept of "100 Plus, drink and go". Apakahhhhh. People shared bottles as they were running out of paper cup at water station @KM6 and KM8

The Malaysian attitude of "marilah melemparkan paper cup di merata tempat". Malaysian will always be Malaysian

The over hyper exicted kids. Tolak menolak kengkonon mereka adalah laju and unstoppable. tak suka okie!

The finisher award. alahaiiii..hooHa fun run pun ada medal okie

So, itulah sahaja cerita saya mengenai Nike City 10k Run. To be honest, I think SG kick out butt real hard. Theres not much participation thou. Perhaps due to the other race that seems more fun iaitu Fun Run.

Ouh ya, I clocked 1:18.46

Enjoy the picture.

* marilah stretching

* senyum melebar sebelum bermulanya larian tanpa mengetahui azab aftermath dek kerana tidak berlatih langsung sebelum race.

*berstretching lagi bersama tottie and yoes

* marilah melompat gembira

Ouh ya, lupa. Edan drop by to say hello. Hehehe. Highlights for the race. Akan tetapi terlupa untuk berfoto dek kerana terlalu terkesima. Beliau adalah pelari yang jaya!

* muka yang amarah kerana tiada photographer di finishing line

Ouh ya lagi sekali. Terlupa menceritakan kejadian booTak as photographer. Ada ke beliau tidak berada di finishing line kerana beliau agak kami akan tiba selepas 1jam setengah. Eish Eish eish....sungguh meng-underestimate saya dan jua tottie. Maka saya adalah emo seketika tadi

Wonder how the other run was? Awesome kah?

p/s: Pain ALL OVER ME BODY. *sigh*

Ku Mohon

2010-10-09T22:00:00.002+08:00

Setiap hari kumohon
Agar Kau sentiasa
Memberiku ketenangan dalam hati... kekuatan
Menempuh segala dugaan yang mencabar ini
Pasti punya ertinya
Engkau beriku harapan
Menjawab segala persoalan
Hadapi semua dengan tenang

Dengan merasa kesyukuran
Ku doa Kau selalu
Mengawasai gerak-geriku
Berkatilah ku penuh rahmat dari Mu

Oh Tuhan terangkan hati dalam sanubariku
Oh Tuhan ku berserah segalanya kepadamu
Agar jiwaku tenang dengan bimbingan Mu selalu

Ada kalanya ku merasa hidup ini seperti kaca
Jikalau tidak bersabar
Hancur berderailah akhirnya
Tabahkanlah hatiku
Melalui semua itu... Ooh...
Kuatkanlah
Cekalkanlah diriku

Curahkanlah nikmat Mu pada hidupku

Sheila Majid - Ku Mohon

Whoop, Whoop, Whooper! - RM1 okay

2010-10-07T11:55:00.008+08:00

Received BBM chat from Farah Shukur

"BK Whooper for RM1 at KLCC, MVal, Sri Hartamas, OU for today. Just purchase carbonated drink"

Herm, sure or not ni. For all you know it is just another hoax from Burger King with little tiny disclaimer...

But me being me, the kiasu-ness in me especially when I read RM1.

RM1 okay!!!

Replied her,

"Babe, sure ke ni RM1. Lunch time je ke"

"No la, whole day"

Maka zaaasss, dengan sepantas kilat saya mengdrivekan kelisa silver saya ke tempat kejadian. Contemplating, perhaps I should go to Sri Hartamas then rather than ke KLCC itu. Nearer and sure takde orang (considering BK at Hartamas is more like a ghost town on a normal day)

Sekali....
Zasssssss (what's up with me and zaaaassss ni)
Manusia adalah memenuhi Burger King itu.
The q was like wwwooooowwwwwooooowwwwwwweeeeee!
Forgot to take picture! *sigh*

sungguh tidak dramatic blog ini

Yah, its true! Its not just a hoax. Cant really seems to figure out reasoning why BK wanted to do such thing. Probably their Whooper patties is expiring soon thus heck why not sell at cheaper price la. Us being Malaysian, whatever cheap or promo thing sure can sell one

The only catch was you have to purchase Carbonated Drinks (RM3.25) for every burger ordered. Well, since a customer is only allowed to purchase 3, maka saya pun zaaaaasss membeli 3. Not that I can eat 3 burger at one go, adalah tetapi lebih teruja dengan hakikat saya berjaya berjimat sebanyak RM8.65 bagi setiap whooper yang dibeli. Siap berkata kepada diri sendiri...

"Malam ni makan satu, sahur makan satu, esok after berbuka makan satu"

Ahahhhahaaa....

Ye, itulah whooper saya.
No wonder lately tgk tv asek nengok iklan beger sahaja
And when I watched "How I Met Your Mother' the other day also showed episode where Marshall searched his ultimate New York Burger

Yummy!
Whoopss! 2 whooper at a go means 1kg or probably more gain in weight

I googled Calory King website, for every burger you have to jog for about 77mins or 186 mins of walking. Maka untuk 2 burger dimakan semalam adalah perlu berjongging selama 2 jam setengah gamaknya maka adalah perlu berhalf marathon untuk membuang kalori itu

Wow...

Erm, takpelah malam ni saya makan lagi satu
Kali ni je k
Heheheheehehe

BEGERRRRRRRRRMBIRAAAAAA!!!!

Okay LAME!

Oh dengarlah, jeritan batinku...

2010-10-05T18:45:00.006+08:00

Dengar
Oh! Jeritan batinku
Memekik-mekik
Memanggil-manggil
Namamu selalu
Sehari kurasa sebulan
Hatiku tiada tertahan
Ku pandang kiri
Ku pandang kanan
Di kau tiada...

Risau
Batinku menangis risau
Makin kau jauh
Makin hatiku bertambah kacau
Mengapa kita berpisah
Tak sanggup menahan asmara
Oh! Dengarlah
Jeritan batinku

P. Ramlee - Jeritan Batinku

It was beautiful!

The music arrangement made on this song was rather superb.

Safe to say that almost everyone were glued to their seat and sit still, no time to even blink and stare at their loved one besides them.

It was magical

Like what booTak said, "P.Ramlee would feel very proud"

I second that...

Okay, pardon me. I actually jumped straight to the first 30 minutes of Sheila Majid Showcase at Dewan Filharmonic Petronas. :)

Remember my earlier post on Sheila Majid's concert at DFP?

So it was on last weekend.

2 October 2010 to be specific

*us

She sang most of her famous song except Aku Cinta Padamu. *sigh*. Thats my favourite okie. The first one hour was mostly the slow songs taken from her album namely Ratu, Emosi and etc.

The second bit was awesome too. I personally love Warna, Dia, Kerinduan, Manusia and of course Jeritan Batinku. It was too beautiful until me and booTak dont even look at each other. we were focusing on the small little petite amazing women in front.

Yeah THATS MY SHEILA

A good singer, brilliant entertainer (she cracked jokes almost all the time. and people laughed okiay! even booTak. Okay thats tough okay to get him to actually laugh). The hall was full with mostly Petronas staff (since they received 10% discount. pffftt). Quite a good seat for us but yeh we paid fortune for it.

It was almost 2 hours (including 20 mins interval) show. The cheapest ticket was RM98 i think. Anyway, my biggest thank you to Soraya for informing bout the show.

*us

*me and Soraya

* the boys...

* booTak, me, Soraya and Zam with our normal pose

*us with so-called funny pose. NOT!

To those big corporate organization, kindly sponsor her for bigger concert/showcase.
Pls....

The way we grieve now...

2010-09-15T10:11:00.006+08:00

I came across this article from yahoo reading this morning, (well ekceli booTak gave it to me)

Boarding a flight, Lisa Niemi pulled out her phone and texted "I love you” to her husband. It was a sentiment she'd often shared with her partner of 34 years, actor Patrick Swayze. And even though he'd lost his battle to pancreatic cancer a year ago this week, she wasn't ready to give it up. “Either somewhere out there he received [the message], or someone's going, 'Somebody loves me!' And you know what? I figured it was a win-win situation,” revealed Niemi in an interview with People Magazine.

“I have a client who never turned off her husband’s cell phone after he died. She takes comfort in calling his voice mail to hear him speak,” says Claire Bidwell Smith, M.A., L.P.C., a hospice and bereavement specialist. “Rituals and routines like that are actually healthy in confronting your emotions and can hold a person in a secure place for longer.”

Actress Michelle Williams echoed the sentiment in the months after Heath Ledger’s death. "I wish we had rituals about grief," she said in an interview with Vogue. "I wish it were still the Victorian times, and we could go from black to gray to mauve to pink, and have rings with hair in them.”

Eid Mubarak

2010-09-14T09:08:00.003+08:00

Salam Aidilfitri,

Its 5th Syawal and I am now back to work, with sour feelings I must say. Office is still pretty much empty with only 3 members of my team are around. That explains the need to ber'blogging' as I am extremely bored right now. The working modd has yet to kick in.

This year's raya is deemed dull to me. With less relatives went back to kampung, coupled with terrible choices of Raya Shows on television, I would say its rather dreary. I just dont get it, who wants to watch cerita hantu during raya? *sigh*

and that also explain the less picture taken this time around. with my only reliance was my berihitam's camera, so I did not put high expectations on the quality as well as the quantity. Nonetheless, the pics

* my family with our latest addition, humairah

* my sister

More? errr thats about it actually. Hehhehe....

The raya mood failed to kick in me. It also took a downcast road with the recent stories on the murder of the late Datuk Sosilawati. Its heartbreaking to me, but I cant say the same about the feelings that the childrens have right now. It must be more than heartbreaking, one can only imagine.

The act was brutal and inhuman. Lets pray for her soul to safely rest in peace and my condolences to the family. Al-fatihah....

Let Go...

2010-09-07T10:30:00.001+08:00

Hey, maybe the time
Just wasn't right to hang on
When are you gonna learn
Sometimes things turn instead of turn out

Hey, when are you gonna stand
Stop looking over your shoulder
Me, with a head full of words
And not one useful expression
Hey, let go

We, with holes in our hearts
Were whole at the start
Our story began
We film ourselves 'til the end
Try to suspend our lives in the dark

Hey, let go
Let go (will we be the ones to understand?)...

Wailin Jennys - Begin

Salam Aidilfitri

2010-09-07T08:50:00.002+08:00

Aidilfitri is like 2 days away now.
That means Ramadhan is about to end :(

*sigh*
I am going to miss the feelings of performing terawih,
I am going to miss the feelings of walking back from terawih (I dont know maybe it is just me, I feel Muslims are stronger and united during terawih),
I am going to miss the 'kemerduan' of Masjid Wilayah's imams' voice,
I am going to miss the iftar session with friends and family,
and whole lots of other things.

By all these, not saying that I am not excited for Raya. I still do but maybe as you grow older the feelings are not that great anymore.
Besides, I have this feeling of I still have unaccomplished mission. Perhaps what we did during this Holy month are still not perfect yet (at least to me)

Speaking of raya, I still remember those time, those good old days when girls in my school were in this competition of whose getting the most kad raya.
Yah, that competition does exist. I am not sure about the status now as people are moving towards technology driven communication now
To me, kad raya still give one sort of sentimental feelings.
It does because people go extra miles for it. Getting the kad raya, buying the stamps, writing greetings on it. It has some sentimental touch to it that no sms or e-mail can give. Well, new addition, BBM that is.

Whenever I received kad raya those time with greetings "Pecah kaca pecah gelas, sudah baca harap balas", it gave a reaction to my face; means i have to burnt a hole in my thiny pocket to get more kad raya. You see, when you are still kids and teenagers, RM2 did give an impact. Yah. Well actually it still does up until now.

I love it even more when I received the kad raya with songs attached to it, and what gave you the bragging rights that time was when you received a gigantic fancy cards from super special someone (ye, saya sudah ada boyfriend masa darjah 5)

I am smiling still when I write this.

Well this year, I only received few card raya. Mostly from bankers (yah, they are sort of like obliged to send to us to maintain good repo. Hehehe. poor thing)
And when I see the pile of my unwritten card raya, it proves something that nowadays people just dont go extra miles anymore. (well maybe not for some avid runners like runningmom and doc.)

and to me this is another factor why I feel raya is not that great anymore. not the kad raya, but the sentimental value of it.

Nonetheless, I wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin
and yah I did not run at all during Ramadhan. Saya tidak layak digelar runner

You see, I missed the chance to watch her perform as I was at Japan when she did her concert back in 2008. and when I was in Jakarta recently, she performed like a week after that.

Yah
Bummer

So, when I read at Soraya's facebook status about this, like hell im gonna miss it again
Thanks babe for the info and your help. Appreciate it...

I adore her. I dont really care what has been going out, the rumours, the scandal and what not around her. She is the best mirror for petite yet stylist, kind of lady. and yah shes shorter than me...so me likey

When I was little (now not so little), I was once called 'Sheila Majid' by most of my uncle. The guard at Murni Apartment in Uniten also gave me the same nickname. and so did my lecturer. I dont really see it. I guess its just the ke-pendek-kan yang menyamai. Hehehe

So to all Sheila Majid fans out there, grab this opportunity PRONTO!

Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

The Way I Am - Ingrid Michealson

I love this song, and I love it even more because booTak gave it to me. Okay, feel free to vomit whatever you have indulged in during sahur when u read that. Its okay, I used to be one of them. Felt sick of people who expressed their feelings to their significant others on the net. Hehehehe...but then again you cant help yourself from doing so should the feeling is right. and yah, this feels right.

So, this is me spreading the love. Do give this song a try. Im sure you will like it.

Ramadhan al - Mubarak

2010-08-11T10:09:00.004+08:00

Ramadhan is here again. Alhamdulillah...
Never would have imagined that time flies so fast...
I thought I just celebrated Eid like couple of months back
Little that I know that usually when time flies so fast, means we are living in ignorance
Ignorance on how we are just 'hamba Allah' in this world.
And we tend to forget our obligations towards Allah.

Thus, here lets do whatever we can to grab the opportunity to embrace Ramadhan again
and hopefully we will gain benefit from this month.

Speaking of embracing Ramadhan, doing good deeds are always recommended. Hence, here would like to inform you that Islamic Relief Malaysia is now having a Ramadhan campaign on to help the underprivilliged people, OKU and homeless. They seek contribution in terms of money so they can provide supplies of food that can be used for a month for this underprovilleged family. A pack contribution's cost is RM50. Well, to some of us thats like the cost of our dinner sometimes. Imagine how this can really help these people.

Payment via Internet Banking is also available. So, its easier. Check it out at www.irm.org.my

Hope you all will have a bless Ramadhan this year. To all my readers, Selamat Berpuasa dan maaf zahir batin jika ada salah dan silap.

Switch The Blade Biatch!

2010-07-28T09:36:00.009+08:00

Venue: SwitchBlade Restaurant, Solaris Dutamas
Time: 9.00pm - 10.30pm
Pacer/Partner in crime: booTak

I passed by this restaurant (or more like a diners kot) million times with thoughts "hurm, one day nak makan sini la"
But it never happend.
So when booTak threw the idea of having dinner here, I said OK right away
BBM Ina, to check out price range and stuff then off we go

It is located at A2-G1-07, Solaris Dutamas , No.1, Jalan Dutamas 1, Kuala Lumpur. The same row as Little Taiwan and Yummy Restaurant (opening soon).

FYI, the restaurant does not serve only food, but they sell bags, accesories, clothes as well. To those who likes Avril Lavigne rock chick's look, then this is the place. Me, ermm not so much. So we'r here just for the food.

* erm, the tagline maybe did not represent us much

As mentioned earlier, they do sell accesories like bags, purses and even like decorative items like clock and stuff. The base color would be PINK, BLACK and WHITE. I like their decoration too. Minimalist but somehow it got mixed up with some other theme by accident.

* the accesories counter

The place is not that big, I think can cater around 80 customers at a time. They serve mostly western food and no liquor at all. Nice.

While waiting for our order to arrived, we went around the stores to check out whats happening. Among others on sale were phedora, baby T for girls and baby T for babies. How cute...They also have men's shirt but its all printed in so called rock on statement. Erm...me no likey...

* cek cek cek cekidout....

* some stuff for babies and little kiddo

*booTak wonders around...

So, after 20mins of waiting (erm, not so bad) our food arrived. First, my drinks. Passion Me drinks. Its actually a soda with a zip of grenadine syrup. But it is literally a zip. Only little portion at the bottom of the glass. I give it 2 stars out of 5

* Passion ME

Second, my Aglio Olio pasta with Grilled Chilli Prawn. Hurm, the portion was too small for my liking. You see, I am a girl who eat. Yah, I EAT. I aint no schizo who prevent myself from eating nor throw back what I eat. Aah aah NOPE. So this is too small for me. I think it only took me 6 times of swirling my fork around the pasta and the GONE. Lesap begitu.

Haih...

But the taste was so-so as well. Nothing to shout at actually for a pasta cost RM20.50

Hurmmmm....

* saya masih belum menyuap ketika ini

booTak ordered this, some Grilled Lamb Burger i think. Or something something lamb burger...the portion was small as well. but it taste gooooodddd...Ouh ya, its RM24.90

All in all, it was a so-so experience. They should improve in terms of the portion as well as ensuring good quality food before they serve their customer. For example, his burger bread was quite soggy or maybe we were expecting too much.

So, if you feel like spending some rock chick moment, do come here. Well, if you like la kan....

Sprint Fatgirl Sprint

2010-07-26T10:57:00.005+08:00

Okay, that is certainly not a new title for newly reproduced version of 'Run Fatboy Run'
Aah. ahh...Nope.
Just a snippet of my next story on how mua managed to secure her first winning in Ministry of Finance Games (Athletics Event) last 2 weekends.

Ke garisan,
SEDIAAAAAA....
Pommm (mula ye maksudnya)

This is the 3rd year I ran for my organisation, representing them for the annual Ministry of Finance Games where one of the event held was athletics

I was selected to run for the Medley Relay for Senior Officer. Okay, by senior it doesn mean that Im old and the runners are those who always have their knee guard with them. Na'ah! Nope. Its 'senior' by virtue of the rank in the organisation. and Na'ah im not one of those highly ranked officer in my organisation as well, so I cant really explain why I ran for the Senior Officer
Nonetheless, I ran still.

You see my organisation rarely win event for athletics. I just dunt get it. During our internal athletics event rasa mcm dah power dah sprint beriyer dan sebagainya. Apparently, we are not good enough. So hence me running for the Medley Relay because they said they at least want to score some winning point.

For Medly Relay, there will be 4 runners. 1 women and 3 men to be exact. and the course of running will be 100m, 100m, 200m and 400m kind of relay. Yah, its weird and definitely not up to Olympic level what not. Not even Sukma kot.

So, we have 4 runners. Yours truly, Hariz, Rantai and Longson in the team. What makes it so interesting is, both of us NEVER TRAINED together before. Ehehee...bak kata abang Nas melodi, kita terjah je

* with my cuak face

* nothing to compared to Usain Bolt's gold spike. But I still love my spike

So we were running against 7 other agencies, namely LHDN, Kastam, BSN, SC, JPPH, EPF and MOF. So lets do some calculation, its 32 runners altogether.

* walking to the starting line. Ignore my huge ass pls

* again, ignore my huge ass. My back side has never been lovely

I was the first runner. Not by choice but more to like given to. Default. Women has to be the first runner. *sigh* ... I never like to be the first runner. Why? Because I freaking hate the gun off sounds of it. Its nerve wrecking especially when the official said "SEDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".
Sungguh berdebar

But this time around, I was quite calm. Maybe its because I just want to get it done and over with. Tak kose mak nak pikir nyah.

* mendahului (konon-kononnya)

* cuba mendekati pelari dari kastam kot yg kuning tu. Tak sempat berkenalan.

They said I was the first to hand over the baton. Hehhehe...well maybe itu ilusi optic dema sbb i was actually running on the outer part. Lane 5 to be exact so it may look like as if I gave it first

Nonetheless, we managed to get the 3rd position. Laaaaaaaaaaaaa.....3rd je ke some of you may say. But..but...I never win tau before. So kasik chance la. First place went to LHDN, Kastam follow suit and then us.
:)

* gembira di sessi penyampaian hadiah

* awek amek hadiah sure lama. mungkin itu kata abang LHDN di sebelah

All in all, it was a good race. team effort I must say. May we win again next year

Sekian terima kasih

Staying Strong!

2010-07-26T09:11:00.004+08:00

I has always been perceived as a strong person. Physically, mentally and emotionally. Some may take it as a compliment, yah I used to gloat when people told me "Im not like you, I am not that strong"

However, being 'strong' is difficult. You have to be in the state of 'strong' at almost all time...and when somebody told me "you are the most independent women I have ever met in my life, dont get me into thinking that I was wrong all this while" its like having a big fat huge rock being thrown at me; from all angle.

I couldnt help but wonder, does this 'strong' person deserve a break? By break means will he/she allowed to have a meltdown, breakdown and all sorts of down for at least once?

I dont know about most of you but to me being strong requires whole lots of effort and lately the amount of effort needed at my side exceeded the threshold set. It is beyond my acceptable level anymore and it is weighing me down slowly. I go through day by day reminiscing all those good days and times I had before. Those days when my only worries is whether my 50bucks will keep my alive till the end of the week, and whether I will have the time to copy my friend's program for assignment as I suck big time in all sorts of computer programming (and I took IT Engineering, so if you have doubts how I managed to get my degree, I dont blame you)

I know, this is life. As you progressing, there will be time when you will be challenged in terms of all aspect. Emotion, physicall and mental.
The physical and mental bit, I can swallow. But the emotion bit, *sigh*...
It's frustrating when people around you does not communicate with you using the same language. The absence of expected similarities sometimes makes you wonder, do they really understand me at all? Does anyone ever ask themselves, what would Nana want in this situation?

*sigh*

I used to wonder, why people blog about their emotion. I mean some stuff are private and when I read some bloggers yip-yapping about how they hate their friends, bosses, mother, father, siblings, boyfriend, girlfriend (this is not an exhaustive list), I used to tell myself...
"hurm, why do they do this? ran out of methods to express their emotion ke?"

Somehow I do understand now, I understand the fact that expressing emotion through words can be fulfilling too. and the best part is the computer well in this case your blog page wont talk back, and for sure they cant criticise you. The computer only listen (well, in this case they let those words appear on the screen)

and yah sometimes, thats the only things that you need. To be listen to...

I spent 27 years of my life listened to others, I believe my cycle should be up now. I believe I deserve to be listen to.

Laughter is the BEST medicine!

Expectation!

2010-07-20T08:50:00.004+08:00

Its difficult to manage expectations, and its even more difficult when you cant meet those, not even at PAR. Its frustrating when it came in a complete chain, where you repeatedly letting people down and even let yourself down.

Sometimes I wonder, is it really necessary to sacrifice your own believe, your own feelings just to ensure the other parties are happy? At the end of the day the big question marks that haunt your mind is, "Is it really worth it?"

I believe I am worth to be listen to...
I believe I am worth to be considered to...
and
I believe I am worth to be recognised...

Well, at least I used to believe in those (the above)

Now, my confidence level is kinda shaky, and I felt as if the whole world is against me. Or maybe I am just another drama queen in the making.

I hope this phase will end soon...because to be frank, I am tired!

Whisk! Whisk!

2010-07-06T13:42:00.008+08:00

Venue: Whisk Esspresso Bar/Cake Shop, Empire Subang

Time: 2.00pm - 4.00pm

Pacer? (Huhhhh!!!)/Partner in crime: Ina and Didi

I have been craving sweet stuff for a month already. In particular for a red velvet cake. Yum yum! After 2 failed attempt to get it, I finally got the chance to have the most famous Red Velvet cake @ Whisk Espresso Bar/Cake Shop

Words spread around famous blogger that their red velvet is too die for (not literally). And the macaroons too...uuuuuu...so the three of us finally managed to get a proper table and order the sumptious selection of cakes and dessert

Whisk is actually a family run business. Yup, from the cake baking thingy until to the person behind the cash register. They are super friendly too. How I wish I have the guts to actually ask the aunty to take her picture. Hehehe. She actually baked all the cakes herself with her 2 sisters and the son does the pizza baking job. I tell you their pizza is superb. Well I dont have picture but trust me its super awesome for RM14.90 worth of pizza.

So lets start, first you have to order la kan. So here goes:

* this is too cute

So we ordered the famous Macaroons, a slice of Red Velvet and Humming Bird Cake.

The macaroons were a little bit dissappointing I must say. Its too small for my liking and you thought that colors represent the taste of it. Errm...noooo....I cant really feel the difference between orange macaroons and coffee macaroons. Nonetheless, the texture of the filling is nice and perfect. Not too sweet.

Well, 10 macaroons for the price of RM18. (kalau beli satu je RM2). Okay la kot yeh.

So lets move to the other famous cake here. The hummingbird. It is moist and flavorful with chopped pecans, pineapple and banana. Erm...banana. Me no likey. I only eat banana for 21km race. Ehehhee..but i so love the frosting which is the delicious cream cheese.. *drool*

Ouh ya, the cake cost u RM14.50 also i think. Terlupa nak check bill.

* hum...hum...hummingbird!

Now...drum rollllll...

The Red Velvet

w00t w00t

It has a very distinctive taste. Really moist and the frosting is just heaven. Really delicious. Usually after the third bites of any cakes i would've stop already. I dunt really like an extremely sweet cake. But this one, every bite invite for another bites. Which is awesomee....

This is a place worth for re-visit. Definitely will be for another round of yummy pizza and the awesome red velvet. Ouh ya, they also have this mocha latte nutella drinks. But didi said its quite thick for her liking. Dont ask me, I dont drink coffee.

Heheehe

However, the place is quiet small. So if you plan to have party of 6 what not, errrm...think twice. The take out would be suffice.

Check it out at Empire Shopping Gallery, L03A

Plain unhappy

SCKLM 2010: F21KM 10254

2010-06-30T12:08:00.006+08:00

Race: Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010
Distance: 21km (Women Open)
Pacer(s): Fara and Tot
Venue: Dataran Merdeka and KL area (and Cheras also. WTH is Plaza Uncang Emas. Apakaahhhhh)

Okay,

How do I start?

Hmmm....

I think I should begin with writing about pre, during and post race kan?

Here goes:

Pre-race:

Let me begin with race kit collection. I went there with booTak on Thursday itself. Being very bersemangat waja we reached Stadium Titiwangsa around 12noon and boy the line was already as long as KTMB (the old one I must say, new train mcm pendek je). And it was like snake; curling. I went straight to Half Marathon booth, squeeze my eyes real hard to notice that they had around 6 counters for Half Marathoners. Hurmmm...should have been more counter. booTak went to the 10km kandang and then we waited for our turn.

*tick tock*

*tick tock*

*tick tock*

Hurm, the lane remain quo. This will be a damn long wait I told myself. Then the fella in front of me whining. "This is damn lama man" then we started bitching about things, and another fella joined in our bitching session. Bla bla bla...still no movement. *sigh* I am so gonna miss my lunch like this. Dahla hamba lapar okay. The rest of the waiting time we filled it with some inspirational talk by some uncle who ran Shanghai Marathon ke apa ntah as well as some pre-race jitters from Azam, the dude in front of me. So it was fruitful waiting time I must say

So it took me 1hr and 10 minutes to get my race kit. *sigh*. Nonetheless, I thought it was kinda fun since I get to meet new people. :) and bitch about some stuff. Yah, I like to bitch around

Then we move on to the day before the race. Had a class in the morning, went to Puchong for some wallpaper hunt and chandelier hunt. Yah, yah boring stuff. Went back, sleep and then went for dinner with booTak. I finally bought him the "Run Fatboy Run" dvd. Hope to watch it soon. And then what yeh, erm yah went to sleep already at 10.20pm. hehe

Race day:

Woke up at 4.30am. Get ready while waiting for tot, put on my new 2xu compression calf guard. My knees and my calf are always in bad shape during run so I put this on for some mind comfort. Hoping and crossing my fingers that I wont get any calf distress what not.

Reached BNM around 5.40am. Went for prayer and then off we go to the starting point. We were at the baccckkkkkk of the flock. Did little bit of stretching and Boom the gun went off. The participants were so many that it took me almost 4 minutes to reached the timing mat so called. Waved a little bit to booTak, he's doing the 10km race.

I started quite okay, quite a slow pacing at the beginning, scared that the whole Cyberjaya Night Race breathing chaos happened again. Tot and fara started slow as well. But they look like they were like having fun jogging, not even running. I was a little bit stressed out. *sigh* nih maksudnya aku la yg lambat ni. Maka mempercepatkan larian saya

I was doing perfectly fine till i reached KM8.5. First, I was little bit stressed out with the KM Marker. Mengapakah perlu ada ye perpuluhan lima (0.5) di situ. Maka agak sukar untuk saya mengira kelajuan larian saya yang tidak berapa laju pun ini. I have my blonde moment especially when I reached 13.5km marker. That was the moment when I gave up. I told myself, its okaylah just run je la. So I gave my cheap adidas watch a rest. Didnt even look at it, even a stare the whole time i was running after that marker.

I kept on running and sometimes walking until I reached Pavilion area. I was literally singing "all the single ladies, all the single ladies, now put your hands up! Ouk oo oo...Oukk ooo oo" when I saw one abang waved crazily at me. For a minute, I thought he likes me. Ahahahhaa..then to realised that he actually was screaming out loud at me "Dik, pijak mat ni. Nanti tak record time"

Ehehhee..maafkan saya. terperasan seketika di situ.

Ran straight to Menara Standard Chartered.Along the way there were a few uncle taxi driver was clapping and keep on saying "go...go...go". I was touched. Usually what people do is just stare at you with some tension face because you actually blocked the road that they want to use. (Yah I had that at the cheras area along the shop lots which one of it was Lorenzo Country Style. And yah I was walking that time because I want to see their furniture from the window glass)

Those uncle gave me the boost of energy right away. Fara and Tot were just besides me and we entered the Cool Zone provided by Standard Chartered. Thankssss!! I love it!. I feel sexy already!

Kept going until the turning at Raja Chulan (besides The Weld). I felt really weak so took another Accel Gel, and I cant swallow it anymore. It gave me this funky taste. Yucksss...so i threw it away and keep on going. Fara and tot were already far ahead. So it is just me I guess. At this point I have no intention to qualify within the stipulated time. I just want to finish.

Still, kept on till Renaissance Hotel. The heat is already up. Matahari memancar dengan girangnya. Yeiks. Saw one uncle lied down. Cramp I think. We gave him some flanil and pour some ORS water in his widely open mouth. He basically cant do anything. He looked so tired and he stared at you; with an empty looks. I guess the race really hit him.

We arrived at Pertama and still another water station. Wow, great. Final 1 km also got water. and I tell you the final 1km is always the most gruelling part. huhuhu....reached kedai Brahim Sha terus excited memikirkan nasi kandar afterwards. Saw booTak at the finishing line and I did my final sprint to clocked:

"3:09:25"

I am grateful for the ability to still run despite a total lack of training. Thou i did not qualify so to speak, but
finishing the run is the most important part. Hey at least I improved my time compared to Cyberjaya night race. And that is good enough already.

Hehehe....

* tot di hadapan memecut laju

* kelihatan seperti berlari sambil memegang perut supaya tidak jatuh.

* masih memegang perut. actually i was trying to hold my water bottle belt drpd jatuh

* pandangan sisi

* another pandangan sisi.

I hope I can do my PB at another race. But anytime soon. I have a lot on my bowl right now that I need to concentrate on. Perhaps during PBIM then.

But at least i PBE kan? Bak kata Enaikay...personal best effort.

Ehwahhhhh

Post Race:

I did 2 massage session. Ehehheheh....

I dont think I have the energy to ber blog anymore. Well not that I write lots of post anyway, but I just dont have the will power. I like reading blogs but when I read mine, I think I just dont have it. Im not cut out to be a brilliant writer. With no vision, no creative thinking whatsoever, yah I think the list is not exhaustive. I aint Carrie Bradshaw for that matters.

There was a time when I was excited, every moment that I went through, I took pictures hoping that I can translate it to an excellent post in my blog,
Still...
Have you guys read any interesting post lately? I bet the answer is NOT.
Or to those who sugarcoat their answer will be "err...ada je"

How I wish I have the time to actually utilise my brain and write thoughtful stuff.

*sigh*

Anyway, its the world cup fever. and yah I am so lack of sleep now.
Hence the PMS mode now

Ouh ya, wish me luck for SCKLM2010
Err, I sure need tonnes of luck. Since I do not train at all.
Im gonna get it goooooddd this time
Hehehhe
Wait for my post
Errr that if only I have the will to write it

Its Sex and The City Time

2010-06-21T13:40:00.004+08:00

It feels like ages since the last time i really hang out with my babe. Yah. ages keadaannya. Both of us we really busy with work, life and stuff. So when she suggested we had a girly day out, my immediate response was

HAIT!!!

So we did.

It was a lovely Sunday. We had so many things planned eventhough both of us are like SUPER BROKE.

Started with a lovely brunch at La Bodega. Had the big breakfast, 2 poached eggs with sauteed mushroom, chicken sausages and grilled tomatoes are like a perfect breakfast after a long run that morning.

* menu nya...

*menikmati makanan yang enak ye

As usual some bitching and whining session during breakfast. Gawd! I miss that. You see during university time we always had this brunch session (especially after loan money in. ahuh..u know what I mean) and usuallu this is the time when we bitch about things that we like. Its amazing how things change now. Last time we used to bitch about boys, "he is so like full of himself; he didnt call me back la; and bla bla bla. Now, our conversation revolves on "I hate my colleague wei; my system sucks wei; my senior stabbed me back: I got an emo boss". Yah...we are old people!

Anyway, after brunch session, we went to A Cut Above for some hair pampering session. Being a cheap skater I am, it was supposed to be at Shawn Cutler malangnya mahal sangat rege rawatan rambut nyer maka kami ke A Cut Above sahaja. Sekali, rege nyer pun sama jugak mahal gile and my hair went FLAT! Damns

* my flat hair. *sigh*

Since we had a very unsatisfactory results from the A Cut Above and since Anet hates her Tai Tai hair, we decided to go to Chic Nail Spa by Soong Ai Ling at Bangsar Village II. I was a bit sceptical earlier. Yah, being a runner I have the most fugly toe nail ever. Ye saya mengaku. Kuku kaki yang sudah beberapa kali tercabut, almost dead nail part and you name it. But she convinced me that it will be a very nice experience so yah I told myself WTH just try it la.

I had the pedicure session for RM55 (50 minutes) and it was beyond awesome. The pedicure person (if massage we call them masseus, if pedicure apa yeh. Enrich my vocab pls) also had a difficult time to treat my nail. Kesian her. I like the deco though, usually when you go to these kind of places (beauty parlour I meant) its usually decorated to mimic balinese and minimalist style. This is totally different and I like it.

*two thumbs up*

* waiting for my session

* ber bbm while waiting

* anet with her manicure session

* at Chic Nail Spa by Soong Ai Ling

To those pedi mani virgin out there, this is a MUST GO place. STAT!

Then off we go to The Gardens. Went to collect our ticket at GSC Signature and had a drink at San Terri Cottage.

* and still ber bbm

* ye masih lagi ber bbm

At almost 3pm we went to Signature again, getting sexcited about the movie and camwhoring session again. Ouh ya karate kid is on show as well. I think I want to watch also la next time.

* aiyak...

* masih lagi bercamwhoring. my hair less flat already

At 3.30pm the movie started. Okie now we are talking business. The review of the movie.

I have to say I was quite disappointed. It was a year of waiting and it did not satisfy me. You see, I am a hard core SATC fan. I watch the series since season 3 (yah that was when I have HBO at home) and I bought all the season DVD Box Set. I watched the first movie and it was way better. Let me sum it up, they have no idea and no story line anymore but heck people like those 4 womens so lets just make a sequel out of it. And I think Abu Dhabi perhaps paid 50% of the filming cost because I feel like im watching a tourism movie with a title "Abu Dhabi: The New Middle East"

*sigh*

Nuff said bout the movie la.

*two thumbs down* (and I am a hard core fan. So you do the math how bad the movie is)

Went for dinner afterwards at Belanga. Ordered Nasi Kerabu Ayam and Anet ordered Lompat Tikam

And yah you dont have to jump around and stab someone to do it

* berteh tarik. Notice my lazy eyes. Its only 6.30pm that time.

* my nasi kerabu ayam berempah. Nyummm

* menikmati

* her lompat tikam

It was a lovely day. Ill do it again

LOVE

Exhausted!

2010-06-21T09:02:00.002+08:00

I am freakin exhausted. Tight schedule. Work related matters, NO TRAINING AT ALL and this world cup fever is really getting into me. I need zzzzzZZzzZzzZzzzZzZzZZ....

"Do you really want it?" vs Waka Waka

2010-06-15T08:32:00.006+08:00

Yah...its the WC fever again. Hurm...I can never see myself as someone who likes football. Me and football will be like one bimbo with an upside down Encyclopedia on her hand. Yah. That would be me. I dont even know what is OFF SIDE and ON SIDE. Yah and that is like the simplest thing ever in football rules innit? (but thanks to booTak, saya sudah pandai sikit sikit)

*sigh*

So when people talk about WC, I feel kinda left out. But sure as hell I dont want to be like those girls who only watch it because the boyfriend likes it too and want to be accepted. Haih...I understand that you wanna be supportive but not like that kot kan...

Anyway, but this time around. It feels different. Suddenly I have the sexcitement in me that I finally feel like I want to learn a thing or two about football. So I did my own research about few teams. By research I meant watching the games and stuff. Andddd.....me LIKEY.

I started with Mexico vs South Africa. Of course, its the opening game so you gotta watch it. and when I saw one of malaysian referree being the 4 referree for the opening game so I told myself "eh bleh tahan gak org Mesia ni". Back to the game, I thought it was rather okay but it managed to give me further sexcitement to watch another game. Hehe...so I decided to watch England and USA. But yah me being me, I zzzZZzzZzzzzZz-ed

So maybe I will give myself another chance. Ivory coast vs Portugal eyy? sounds like fun!

Ouh ya, I prefer lagu Ricky Martin tu dari Waka Waka..Ehehehhee....

When I Look at You

2010-06-07T09:39:00.002+08:00

Everybody needs inspiration,

Everybody needs a song

A beautiful melody

When the nights so long

Because there is no guarantee

That this life is easy...

When my world is falling apart,

When there is no light to break up the dark,

That's when I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore and I cant,

Find my way home anymore that's when I, I look at you...

When I look at you I see forgiveness,

I see the truth,

You loves me for who I am,

Like the stars hold the moon,

Right where they belong,

And I know I am not alone

When I look at You - Miley Cyrus

SCKLM 2010: Run For a Cause Final Call?

2010-06-04T10:30:00.002+08:00

Ye, itu adalah saya...
Yang gambar sekecil hama itu....

I wrote something on Run For a Cause before in one of my post. This year I will be running the SCKLM again, but with a little bit of twist. I want to give back.

You see, I cannot consider myself a pro runner thus I cant really conduct any running clinic what not. The only 'clinic' that I had before was when I took with me 2 mothers who wanted to shed off some post baby fat and they totally didnt like my training regime. So I was called Miss J. Why you may ask? *sigh* In case you have never watch The Biggest Loser (US version), check out the chick in RED who always yell at the contestant and her fav mantra was "If you do not puke, faint or die, then keep running"

Okay, can you see the connection now?

No?

Anyway, this year I have decided to take part in the Run For a Cause. and Alhamdulillah to date the amount of money collected is big enough for someone who like me. Who aint celebrity of course. Hehehee. Thanks to all who have donated their hard earned cash in order to see me running the miles. InsyaAllah, I will try my level best to finish the distance; strong (enough)

and to my close friends who read this, hope for your continuous prayer for booTak's dad. Lets pray for his speedy recovery and thank you so much for your concern and kind thoughts.
