...

There's so many stories to tell actually, but within limited time and this 'stressful' mind, I have to really select the issues and be able to put it into writing, which is not easy.

Office life is a little stressful nowadays, but I don't think it is something that I would like to share with everyone. I hope I would adapt to the work nature fast. I don't mind having many things to do, but having to 'mengadap' the top people really make my blood go 'upstairs'. Being evaluated every time you see them is worse.... I just dislike it. But I guess it is best for me to just except it and learn to adapt. Above all, pray for Allah assistance always...I do talk to Allah nowadays, during my journey to office every morning. I can feel some of the 'weight' being lifted from my head, really, it works.

Stressful time is also time for you to know who your true friends are. Of course I must thank my husband, my good old friends...min, atim, zai, shahril (who never fail to visit if I happen to be in my room, which rarely happens nowadays), zakiah, kak mek (doa untuk saya selalu ye kak mek)...Zul, kak nursiah..all those who reads this post :))), you know who you are...

And you know what, it is also the time when you suddenly realise that you just could not be friends with these few people anymore, and it's funny. I did try actually and no doubt, I did find it hard, I found it difficult to fit in more than once, but I just kept going thinking that you can be friends with everybody...but I finally has made up my mind recently...stop!..yup, I will not yell, I will not say bad things, but I will just stop caring, stop trying...which I know will not effect these persons at all, I just throw away my passion of staying as good friends with them, sayonara..

okay, I guess I have enough on that, let's continue

MY VISIT TO ACU'S HOUSE


Dua beradik tua, acu and mak...I must say that acu looked more cheerful than before

Shuk and Paksu, this time Paksu really could not talk, the last time we visited him, he asked Shuk to take his car..he he

I visited acu and paksu when I was back in Perak for Din's funeral. I must say that Pak Su's condition is worse than before. He could no longer talk and according to Acu, he refused to eat.

During our chat, I was made to know that both Acu and my mother is worry over abang being away for 3 years in Tokyo...he he ...Abang kan antara cucu lelaki tua yang penting. Mak risau kalau ditakdirkan dia meninggal dunia ke waktu abang tak de...risaula dia kan.

Tapi, takdir tuhan tiada siapa yang tahu, Din dan Yong sudah pergi dulu, walaupun mereka terlalu muda jika di bandingkan dengan makcik2 dan pakcik2 yang lain. Oleh itu, let's pray that Allah grant us with good health and dipanjangkan umur, insya allah kita jumpa lagi.

Abang's flight will be on 16 Feb 2010, malam...11.55 kut. I'm not sure of his plan yet but shall inform everyone if I heard anything....

Malena & TBH

I think this week is going to be among the most memorable one for Malena. She watched his TBH performed live last week..hmmm

I remember kakak, when you were smaller, your mum was also the person who cut your hair. Since you were already in school at that time, one of your friend (your best friend I believe) has shared her experience having her hair cut at a salon and it just got you excited...maybe as excited as watching TBH live?...I don't know

No doubt it wasn't me who brought you to the salon (which was located at PKNS complex), it was your mother. But then, being sisters, your mother has told me how happy you were and you were smiling from ear to ear when the lady started to cut your hair.

When you were saying that you are so happy and will be smiling through out the week, I just cannot put off the image of you, a little girl sitting on the chair, smiling widely waiting for your haircut...you know what, that image really make me feel like smiling the whole week myself.

Happy Birthday Adli

Better late than never right?...terlupa la plak nak wish Adli Happy birthday...his birthday was actually on 19 January ....yang ke 19...Happy Birthday Adli..

Good Bye Din..

I had a busy day last Thursday. My schedule was full, I had to attend a talk given by Tan Sri the whole morning, lunch meeting, another meeting at 2.30 and another one at 4.00 which was supposed to end around 7.00...huh

I went for my Zuhr prayer at around 2.00. After ablution, I managed to peep at my other hp and realized that there's a new message. After my Zuhr prayer, I managed to open the message and found out that Din, a cousin of mine passed away at the age of 38.

I was still in a confuse situation at that time so I decided to carry on with the 2.30 meeting of which I had to chair. I managed to do some thinking and a few telephone calls after that, and decided to go back to Ipoh that evening, I just got to.

Din and I were very close when we were younger. He's younger than I am and address me as kak. He's married and has 3 kids.

He's a photographer with Utusan Malaysia . He used to be very active in sports and very passionate about his job. The news about him passed away really saddened me and everyone else in the family.

Part of the reason why I think I need to go back was to give Andak (Din's father/my uncle) support. But I guess the situation was different once I reached Andak's house that night where instead of giving support, I was the one who cried. It seems that our aunties and uncles were very calm. Those who cried the most were the younger ones i.e. me and my female cousins....

One of my officer informed me that the news appeared in Utusan Online that very afternoon, but the next day (Friday), the news came out in Utusan Malaysia. Many of Din's friends came and it was clear that he's adored by his friends which I could fully understand why.

You'll be missed by everybody my dear cousin, we love you. Insya allah, semoga rohnya diberkati dan diberi kemaafan, insya allah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEK YAH

Today, 15 January, is Mek Yah's birthday. Apart from that, I heard that you also got the promotion that you have been waiting for..congratulations! Please do keep on helping me whenever I'm running out of money yer..., the more you give, the more you get..insya allah

I am posting pictures from my latest outing with Mek Yah and the girls (girls day out) to celebrate twin's 12 birthday. As usual, if it is with twin, it will be western food. Do not ask me the name of the food please since I could not recall...

Imaan's

and last but not least, the paymaster, mek yah!! next time we'll go out, I'll pay, don't worry!

Interesting Lunch..

I wanted to write about what has happened this week, but if I were to wait, I might not write at all, so I decided to post this first..

I represented my boss for a lunch meeting at Kelantan Delights this afternoon. At first I thought the lunch was attended only by MIDA officers and also officers of the other organization (working level), but it turned out that management level were also there.

Hmmm, lunch will not as fun then I guess.

We sat down and started our conversation while waiting for the food. Suddenly, one gentleman with a very familiar face came to our table and talked to the 2 Datuks ..hmm, guess what, it was the TV3 CEO. He sat next to our table but no, Misha Omar was not there.

Apparently the food ordered was plenty. All was there, fish, beef, chicken, teloq pun ada, sayoq pun ada, ikan masin pun ada..I wish my friends could come so that they could finish up. Sayang tengok makanan berlebih kan

We finished lunch and the Datuks ordered coffee. Alhamdulillah there was no pencuci mulut since we have no space to spare in our stomach already. Suddenly another familiar face entered the restaurants with one group of people..guess who? It was Chef Wan...

After the salam-salam session, we passed through Chef Wan's table and he smiled and waved to us..I think he does not mind I asked him to take photo with me, he's so friendly. Just to prove that my story here is no lie (especially for Mek Yah to believe)...he he..

He he, we went back after that and after sitting for almost 2 hours, rasa kematu je belakang...he he..

ok guys, back to work..see ya

Good Luck : Imaan, Ainaa, Tiha, Ifwat & Aqmal

Tahun 2010 akan memerhatikan 5 orang anak saudara saya mengambil peperiksaan UPSR, oleh kerana itu, cikbib ingin mengucapkan selamat berjaya untuk kelima-lima orang ini.

Semoga tahun ini, sebab ada 5 orang yang ambil, kena 5 orang dapat 5A, insya allah. Just give it a try guys.

I have attached photos of twins, tiha and Ifwat. I just do not have a copy of Aqmal's in my database (sorry Aqmal).

These two pictures are among my favourite. I simply love moments when all these five kids plus Jiha are around, they just cheer me up.

Let's Hang It Babe

It has been four months since we moved to our new house, and we have just completed hanging what is supposed to be hanged today...whooshhh, what a relieved.

I have been waiting for these 3 days break since last Tuesday. In fact, I must confessed that I could not concentrate doing any of the given tasks last week. When it was finally 5.30 p.m. last Friday, I could not wait to go home and enjoy the break.

I did go to I-City, Section 7 Shah Alam to celebrate new year. We only went out of the house at around 11.15 p.m. and when we arrived, entrance to I-City was already blocked/closed. We have anticipated such situation but prayed hard that there would be a parking place nearby. Alhamdulillah, we did find one but the location was almost 20 minutes walk from the celebration area. We consider the walk as part of our exercise routine which means that we could skip our morning walk the next day and started the day a bit late (tdo balik la lepas subuh).

The reason we went to I-City was to watch fireworks. When we arrived, MB was giving his speech and the show started on 12.00 midnight. How did I feel?...I must say it was a different feeling. I have seen a better fireworks show before (almost 30 minutes non stop and cost RM500 K), but being in the middle of people celebrating new year is kind of interesting..(since I have never celebrated one before). We enjoyed the show and purposely took a longer route to our car after that, just to enjoy the night.

Opps, actually this post is about Shuk and I finally took the initiative to complete decorating our house. We only did it after more that four months, he he, orang pemalas memang begitu.


Actually the house was 90 percent ready except for the pictures/mirrors/clocks which were kept and not hanged. During these 3 days, we hanged everything that need to be hanged.





We are very excited about the mirror which we bought on Saturday. It really changed the house. Suddenly I think I need another bouquet of flower, the two which were given by Kakak are not enough.
We wanted to buy this type of mirror since we were living in Baiduri but our financial situation did not allow us to do so at that time. We did visit a few shops before we decided on this one, he he, we bought it from Naza Perabot je. It cost slightly cheaper than the one in Mutiara Jati Shop, but we have to hang it ourselves which was quite a challenge because the mirror is heavy. But then I must say that we are very happy with the result, Alhamdulillah.

The same mirror from a different angle. We have also hanged the clocked which was bought last Ramadhan at KK shop, SACC Mall Shah Alam. Punye la lama, baru nak gantung. You can see my image reflected in the mirror. I think the mirror is good in giving message like " you better loose some weight cikbib, NOW!!!"

The mirror again, from a different angle

The Khats, given as a wedding presents by Ida. Shuk and I had our usual small arguments while hanging these. I want it to be hanged 5 ft from the floor (ikut cakap Eric), whereas Shuk thinks it should be a little bit higher...(biasalah, orang Melayu kan)...so, what you can see is the result of our argument lah! ok la jugak..

And, last but not least, an oil painting. We did visit quite a number of shops before we decided with this one. Most of the painting I like cost thousands..he he, baik beli LCD tv kan. Shuk and I are happy with this one since it brightens the room with it's cheerful colours.

A lot of things changed in 2009. I moved to a new house, new division, bought a new car...but my weight remained, increased in fact. Moving house really cost a lot of money where I must confessed that ever since, I have not got a chance to really save . I hope I could start again in 2010.

Insya allah I will try to become a more disciplined person. I pray that I could have a balanced life, to work smart, to work hard, to have time to exercise, to allocate time to beribadah and start attending all those ceramah held in MIDA (insya allah). I pray that god will assist me in whatever I do, whatever decision I have to make. I pray that I could control my food intake..tolong...I pray that Allah will grant Shuk and I zuriat yang baik. Above all, in whatever situation, I pray that I'll be a thankful person and happy..

Have a happy new year everyone!
