Chinese Fried Rice and Thank You Kjee!

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

When I first decided to have my own website, further encouraged by my sifoo Sis Hanieliza, all I had in mind was just to admire my not-so-pretty photos (but at that time, my photos are the prettiest in my eyes!) in the Internet! What other people think of the photos, I didn't even bother. Just to see them in my own website is enough to make my day! And that's one of the strongest reason, why I am attached to my kitchen! To have more photos! Hahaha...

Besides the kitchen story, the Fotopage is more like my daily diary back then in Malawi, Africa and I am really grateful I had done that. My computer got corrupted when we came back to Malaysia and most of the photos can't be saved. Sigh... At least, I have the photos in the Fotopage to recall the memories... alhamdulillah...

Little did I know, as time goes by, I made many friends and the best thing is, my website is recognized. Though I know I am not a somebody, but when my blog's url was first printed in Sis Norzailina Nordin's novel, Menanti Kasih, I was so excited. Mind you.. just the BLOG URL... nothing else. Hahaha.. poyo betul kan? After that I was approached by Sis Lily Haslina to contribute photos and recipes in Majalah Jelita. You can read more about it here.

Besides that, friends like Che Mat Gebu and Ummi Zaihadi, to name a few, helped to promote me though I don't stand the same leve as them. They are way well knowned than me with so many followers and fans. Thank you my dear friends.

Kjee yang comel. Gambar disnap oleh Che Mat Gebu yang comel juga.. :D

The latest was at Kjee's Blog. Kjee or the real name is Fauziah Abdul Samad , a celebrity, a script writer, a journalist and pardon me if I've left out anything else Kjee. Trully flattered. Thank you so much Kjee and thank you so much to each and everyone out there. You guys are the one who inspired me to continue blogging and it's not the other way round actually. Hugs to all.....

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Last Saturday, we went to my relative's wedding in Johor Bahru at the Dewan Jubli Intan, Jalan Ayer Molek. It had been years since I went back to Johor Bahru. And it had been ages since I last meet most of my relatives (mom's side). We reached there around 12 noon. Not many guests had arrived that time. Mostly were relatives. And from my table, I was more interested to see who were in the hall rather than the delicious food served.

Time really flies... I am embarrased to say that some of them, I can barely recognised. Once, I was sitting at the reception area, this nephew of mine came and greet me, cheerfully. And I did not recognise him. I was saying to myself, hmmm such a nice guy to ask my whereabouts. After a while, when we were outside, waiting for the bride and groom to enter, I was with another niece of mine. And along came that Mr Nice Guy. I whispered to my niece, who is that guy and she said... kan Achai tu! OH MY GOD! Is it my eyes or he had changed? Well, the answer is... he had changed to a bigger size.... just like me... hahahaha... Sorry Chai, tak kenal masa Acai salam... sebab dah comel sangat... hehehehe....

To Nora Zainab Mohamed Ariff and Deno Aswal Abdul Rahman, congratulations on your wedding. Marriage is not only the beginning of a relationship but also the end of a life long search for the other half of your soul. May both of you live happy ever after....



Ya, you looked gorgeous my darling! Bertuah abang Deno mu.

Yed, thanks for the photo ya..

14th June, 2011....

Just now, I sat and ponder. In this 45 years of my life, what good thing that I had done? Had I been behaving? How good a Muslim am I? How much had I helped people in need? Am I a good wife to my dear hubby and a good mom to both my kids? Had I been a good child to my parents and a good sister to my siblings? A good friend to a friend?

.... Sad to say, I have no answer to any of the questions above...

... because I am just not perfect but working really hard to be one... insyaAllah.. please make duaas for me ya..

Thank you so much to my family members, MakcikKantin, Tina, Ummi Kuantan, Dolly in UK, Kak Jamilah and Ninie for your kind wishes via email, sms and personal call. I do appreciate it very much for your thoughts... I'm touched....

And many thanks to Kak Noha, Ijah and Afif for these lovely gift. And thank you for the lovely time just now..

Haha....

"Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle... rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be.."

Happy Mother's Day 2011

A woman has strengths that amaze men. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like crying, cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional!

There's only one thing wrong with her. She sometimes forgets what she is worth.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

A mothers' day message to all the pretty mothers.

A mum is a rose whose petals are soft...

A mum is a lily whose stem is tall and strong...

A mum is a person who is never wrong...

A mum is a person you should love forever...

Trust her, believe her and never doubt her...

From one mum to another,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MOTHER...

A beautiful woman who smiles in trails..

keeps herself calm and grows stronger through love and prayers...

Nothing compares with being a mother.

Who else can be bugged, tugged and hugged all at the same time?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Thank you Google Image

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST FATIN

18 years ago... on this date, at around 9 am, hubby drove me to The Straits Hospital in Malacca. It was during Eid-Ul-Fitr. I am due to give birth to our first child. Yes, I had the privilage to choose the date as my girl was a week over due! The doctor asked us to choose a date and I chose 30th March. What's with 30th March? It is my best friend's birthday. She's my best friend when we were together in Form One till Form Three.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAFIZA ABD HAMID

...where ever you are...

Alhamdulillah syukur, I had quite an easy delivery. The process didn't take long, to the doctor's surprise! I went in the labour room at 10.30 am and was out by 2 pm, with a healthy, chubby baby. Alhamdulillah.... I am very sure she is my child because she's the only rose among the many thorns in the baby's room! Ahaks...

To Fatin Nabilah, wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING. May you have all the joy your heart can hold, All the smiles a day can bring, All the blessings a life can unfold, May you have God's best in everything. Amin.

Entry yang terlewat......

It is 19th Syawal today. Alhamdulillah hubby and me managed to complete our Sunnat Syawal yesterday.

And this year, I realised that I had not put any Eid Cards nor wish all of you a happy Eid before 1st Syawal. As mentioned in the previous entry, I was pretty tight up.

Since we celebrate Eid for a month, I think it's not wrong for me to still wish all of you a Happy Eid, right....

Thanks to Dr Inahar and Leen Hussain for passing me these Eid cards. Sorry for taking such a long time to collect them.

This year's Eid was full of surprises. Normally, we only visit our relatives' houses for Eid. But this year, hubby and me, even went to our friends' houses. And mind you, friend with an 's' a.k.a plural! Not only one friend but a few! I like!!! And not only that, some friends even came by my parents' place. It sure is a HAPPY EID! Thanks to Lea and family for dropping by. We surely had a 'loud' day, don't we! From my house, we went to Mamazieza's house and the loudness continues! Haha...happening oo kalau orang Melaka jumpa orang Melaka di bumi Melaka! Hahaha... betul tak Mamazieza?.

The next day, hubby drove both Mama Melakas (Mamazieza and me) to meet the ever so famous Mat Gebu and family. Thank you dearest darling hubby for driving us there. It was my first and Mamazieza's second time meeting Mat, but it feels like we've known each other for ages. We had a wonderful lunch at Mat's place and hubby really enjoyed the meal...

Thank you Mat... agak-agak...nak ajak lagi tak kami ke sana?
