Hail to Obama! Hopefully with him as the new President of United States, there will be more peace in the world.

Anyways, don't you think ma title is true? First Lewis Hemilton as the first black F1 World Champion, then the big one, Obama, 1st Balck US President.

What ever it is, I hope this is a sign that everyone is more open and concentrates on the ability one have rather than the colour or race in someone. What's the use of looking at that anyways? When you die God will not ask what colour you were, now would He?

Peace~!

My God....as usual..after 1 month baru nak post lg. Actually dah berkali2 been trying to blog. I even blog some entry half way..tp just end up not posting it for what ever reason. Lost the mood on the topics kot.

Anyways, Happy Deepavalli to the indian friends!! :D Simpan muruku for me yeee..and ghee balls!! :D :D

Since yesterday is a public hols, I decided to be rajin and make trifle to bring to Ude's house for dinner. So shafiq and I went to Giant la to shop for the ingredients needed..sekali jalan for the house groceries sekali la.

Anyways, we came across this booth that sells all this Islamic CDs and terjemahan and all. And to my surprise, there it was, CD and DVD Upin & Ipin ..pirated! My goodnes.. I know la ramai org pirate the CDs and DVDs...I was told u can find the pirated version kat Masjid India n all.. tp..kat booth jual bahan2 agama?? Come on man! I should have stopped and sound pakcik tu la. Ish..

My advice to u ppl out there..esp to those yang dah beli pirated version or planning to...it's just RM 15/RM18! Takkan cannot afford?? Dengan alasan untuk beramal. Im sure those yang beli from kedai jual CD agama mesti terpengaruh dgn Upin & Ipin stories yg berunsur keilmuan ttg pengajian berpuasa. So tlg la...beramallah secara halal. Tak berkat ilmu tu kalau the source itself dah haram.

I finally understand the feeling of being left behind. All this while when Aini grumble about how things r so different after I left, I was like "huh? is it..? mcm biasa je..." But what I didnt realise was, I left. I had new environment. I got a white canvas. I could paint anything. The new place has no old memories. It's the opposite for her.

So i made the conclusion, leaving is easier than being left behind. Being a quite-independent person that I am, I always leave. Tp now I realise, when being left behind its even more difficult. When Aze left for Russia, I didnt feel so much cos i left Penang too for KL.

I dunno how ma colleague Nini go thru her days as her husband is in Dubai for the past 2 years. Im sure she feels more pain compared to him. He starts a new life there with new memories. As for her, everywhere she went with him before will bring memories back. Sedihnya...

I hate it when friends leave. Dulu when Mas, ma awesome crazy galfren left TM I could feel the pain of losing her. Adeline, my super great boss left TM pun I nangis. I hate changes. Worst is I hate to face the memories they left behind with me with where I am. Now Dennis's turn. He has been my bestfriend for the past 2 years since I've been slaving ma ass in TM. We do everything together. Ish. It's difficult!!!

But i guess thats life la. Tp to the leavers, fyi...it hurts triply for those you left behind compared to what you feel. I know cos now Ive felt both sides.

Yes..I'm married!! The whole month of August has been my wedding-month! but thats for another post later. I wanna share my Oh-My-God pre-honeymoon trip. No no..not THAT oh-my-god. :P

We had a super tiring weekend before we left for Redang. The wedding..the condo renovation..then Aini's convo. N the next morn, flight for Redang. We've booked an airport limo at 5am to pick us up. But we overslept! So i told the cab driver to wait for 15mins. Being the whiny-ass that he is..he started babling n all before agreeing to stay. Shafiq and I who was still a bit mamai got annoyed so he called up the driver to cancel it. Ofcourse the driver got even angrier la. WHAT EVER! who ask u to get all whiny before?? [ OMG no. 1]

We drove to LCCT and parked there and head to KT. Burn our money for Xpress boarding to KT as we were late due to Subuh prayers. Welcomed in KT by Pak Long, Shafiq's uncle. Had a super nice plate of nasi dagang for breakfast before we were sent to the jetty to get a ferry to Redang. RM100 per person pergi balik ok! So damn expensive!!!

Uda gave us wedding gift of 4d 3nights voucher at Berjaya Resort. our mistake was not to do homework on it. We were given Berjaya SPA resort instead of Beach Resort. Aih..all the havoc at the reception counter! Gotta topup 200 per nite if we want to upgrade to Beach Resort..which was exactly what we did (thanks to mommy, mami & abah!). Who in the world goes to Redang and stay on the hill???????? Gosh...i really dont understand that concept la. Even a city-girl like me doesnt enjoy that. ish. so geram. [OMG no. 2]

All in all our trip was pretty fun. the beach was awesome..water was clear and blue..can c all the fishes!! [ OMG no. 3] we had free meals the whole time we were there as we knew someone who's working there. [OMG no. 4] but the 'fun-activities' were a lil pricey though. But we managed to go snorkling and kayaking still n it was fun fun fun! i hated swimming with fishes before...now im totally ok with it. instead i enjoy it! :D

Our last night there, i suffered a tremendous pain in my left ear. It got worsen the last day there, so Aze suggested that i visit a local doc before flying off. I did..and I had ear infection due to my bad cold the 2nd day I was there. Gosh...ear infection is freakingly painful ok!!! [ OMG no. 5]

Went for a lil shopping in KT before heading bk to KL. Reached here at 10pm..and after checking our parking chip coin, we are charged RM 144!! [ OMG no. 6] Hahahahhahaah! Expected la. Cheaper a bit comparing to taking a cab, one way at RM77.40.

But God really wanted to test us la..even during the last bid of the trip. Our car battery died!!! [ OMG no. 7!] N no one around had jumper to help us out. AAM was just fucking useless. So abah and mami (shafiq's parents) and fatin came la to help. I was sleeping the whole time in the car due to the terrible ear pain. By the time we reach home it was nearly 2am! huhuhu.

The next day, Sat 30th Aug, will be a date I'll remember forever as that was the date I first got admitted into a hosp for a surgery. My ear had major blockage that I need to be under GA for the docs to fix it. Huhuhuhu. [ OMG no. 8] That was quite an experience. Supposed to stay over that night, but this stubborn girl refused so we discharged that nite itself. I felt drowsy even till Sunday cos of the GA and the low blood pressure.

So...thats it. A handful of drama within 1 week..back to back. But i believe God is fair and He will never test his 'employees' if He thinks we cannot handle it.
It was a good start to Ramadhan..tests to polish up on our patience esp since this is the first Ramadhan as husband and wife for myself and shafiq. :)

Selamat Berpuasa to all muslims and Enjoy Good Food for the non-muslims! :)

Cheers~

1st Aug...my last day as Miss Aina as tomorrow I'll officially be Mrs Shafiq/Pn Aina, insyaAllah.

Gosh...23 years of singlehood. So many memories that have contributed to shaping who I am today. I can't seem to be able to list it all down here cos there are just way too many!

What ever it is, thank you to everyone who stick by me till today; ma wonderful bestfriends and close friends who've been great shoulders to lean on when I'm up and down. Most importantly my awesome parents and siblings for being who they truely are in bringing me up and being there for me at all times no matter what. *sobs*

Aih, getting married at such young age when you've been pretty independent requires loads of sacrifices. Ive always had the freedom to do what ever I want while living alone for the past 2 years..n now I'm about to embark the rest of my life with a life partner. Pray for me he is the one and for our lifetime of happiness. :)

Thanks you guys and cheers~

This is one of the most stressful month ever in my life! Just running over what I have to do in my head suffocates me! No surprise that I fall ill often too then..

How true is that? We tend to prioritize the wrong ppl, the wrong things in life. I guess thats how we get in trouble and get hurt.

With the wedding getting nearer, ma mom kept reminding me how the day will be mine and shafiq's and i should put myself before anyone else including my family and friends. as this could work for some ppl..i just cant! even during the busiest time in ma life right now, I still find time to be with my friends. I know i'll be bugged that day if their accommodation and transportation are not arranged properly. Is your big day your biggest selfish day?

But that's life. I came across the title I post up today from a status of my ex-lecturer from MMU. I then realise how true it is! There has been so many times where i end up getting dissappointed and hurt by prioritizing others before myself. Ma koko once said "Just because u r nice to some doesnt mean he or she will be nice to u back". So I guess, if the person is not worth it, then dont waste ur time and attn on them.


Cheers~

I love the feeling when I make people happy! :D Some of my friends used to call me Mrs Santa 'cos I like giving presents. Let it be birthdays or Christmas or what ever is appropriate..I tend to give presents. Then again, I only give to those that matters to me. So peeps..if we just learn to know each other and you got a present for me, that means u r in my "My favorite" list. :) And it is my pleasure to show my appreciation and a lil smile on ur face.

So Happy Birthday and Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to anyone who is celebrating any of the mentioned today! ;)

I've been having loads of stuff to write for the past few weeks actually, but as usual la...don't have the opportunity to post em up here.

I've decided to have monthly resolutions! Why? Because a whole year resolutions never seem to work. U'll be exicted about it the longest in Jan...then that is it. At least if monthly, the chances of you actually doing it is there. And there's always something new. :D

This month's resolution? To drink my milk-high fibre-drink EVERYDAY! I hate drinking milk. I can consume it with koko crunch or honey stars..but that is it. But to just drink it on its own...IURHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

So anyways, I'm forcing myself now..and trying to find some kind of hidden taste-buds on ma tongue that will make me enjoy the process of drinking it. :P

What's your monthly resolution?

Ma lappy crashed 2 weeks ago...the good news is I can pick it up today from HP service centre. Yey! Ma home pc still K.O...shafiq hasnt had the time to fix mine.

I then realise, I cannot live without my gadgets! Be it a laptop or PDA or TV or even a normal handphone. I just CANNOT! I felt so empty without any laptop or pc for the past 2 weeks. goshhhhh!! which also answers why i havent been blogging! :P

will write soon. cheers!

Hahaha...ape la. I'm getting replies saying I'm emo la pulak with my last post.

No ma dear friends. Bukan emo. I just happened to come across this topic way to often for the past few days, which is why i decided to write..not cos nak lepas geram..but to REMIND and educate (for those yg a bit bengap :p)..that WE ALL have feelings, doesnt matter what size you are. So just mind your jokes and name calling. Don't do what you dont like to be done to you to others.

Thats all :)

Cheers~

OMG...i tell you...I dont know why people think it is ok to comment on thin ppl's weight and size. You don't go up to some big person and say "My God..i think you need to lose 10kg!" do you? So don't do that to us too! What ever reasons that hold you back from saying that to a bigger person should be applied to thin people too.

I hate it..HATE IT..when ppl come up to me n say "eat more!!!". Do i need to record ma daily meal routine for you to analyze so you'll understand?? I bet i eat more than any of you! I dont skip meals, I exercise regularly (yes i do! despite skipping ma gym)...just like every normal, healthy peeps! i just happened to have a HIGH METABOLISM! Get it?

I usually put a deaf ear when ppl throw insulting comments on ma size and weight or take it as a joke, but it came to a point where enough is enough! I am writing this because I want people to be aware that it hurts just as much for a thin person to hear all the thin jokes and comments, just as it would to the heavy ppl. Stop calling names such as "papan" or "lidi" or what ever. Im fine with the way I am until u guys make me feel small for no apparent reason!

I am who I am and the outer shell should have nothing to do with the person I am on the inside, so please, if you make comments towards people who are tiny, please think before you speak. It's even more hurting if you are no stranger.

Unless you dont mind ppl throwing judgemental comments and insults about your size and weight, pls STOP it.


Peace~

I think the world started to turn upside down when most of us put ourselves before anyone else. The war, the fights, the hunger, the divorce, the misunderstanding. *deep sigh*
It's just FREAKING SAD!

I thank God..every single minute cos He gave me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes and others' and provide me guidance to avoid repeated mistakes. But being human, we can just try cant we?

The next time you feel like screaming your lungs out at someone for being late or causing trouble..or what so ever, pause and think. Was it on purpose?

Today, I was pretty pissed off with an agency I'm dealing with on CI stuff. I was supposed to get the CEO's business cards by morn, but instead I got it at 1pm. Yeah I was babbling ma way and all, but when I saw the effort the AE put..waiting for the printer at TM lobby and all..and apolagizing for the delay..i just replied to him "it's ok. I know you tried your best". He could have done better, maybe, but at that moment, I think that must have made him feel better. Even I felt better honestly!

Don't u feel good about yourself when you make someone feel good about emself? Aih...i wish I can do that at ALL times! I wish all my family members and my friends are like that. I wish everyone is more understanding..or at leat MORE ppl are more understanding. This world can survive better with SOME understanding ppl..to deal with the self-absorb/selfish people.

If only husbands could think twice before yelling at their wife and kids, if only children could think twice before yelling at parents especially their mothers, if only students could appreciate the educators' effort and vice versa, if only bosses respect their employees, if only your closest friend is not your closest enemy, if only everyone appreciate everyone else better.. if only everyone else treats everyone else the way everyone wants!

If only..

I hope all of us will be better with others and appreciate those around us.


God bless~

Cheers!

With the election upon us, it is more important than ever to get out and vote. Many people think that their vote does not matter. Imagine if everyone felt that way – we would never have a government!

Remember what happened the last election? Between Keadilan and BN somewhere in Penang? They had to recount the votes many times because of very very minimal vote. Was it 1? I can't remember. But that's how important a single vote is! So thinking that your vote does not count could not be farther from the truth.

Voting is method of voicing out. Neglecting your freedom of choice could be very harmful, not just for your generation but your children's' too! You do not need a friend to influence you to vote. Just think of yourself, your family.

I agree the up bringing is important. The family influence, the education, the surrounding. But i believe our government has given more than enough awareness on how important it is for you to vote. But at the end of the day, it is up to YOU. Do not blame anyone else but YOURSELF if you choose to THROW this privilege away with the excuse "my generation wasn't taught the importance of voting" or "none of my friends vote" (btw, excuse ma french, but i find that excuse is fucking stupid! didn't God provide you brains to THINK?!) or "i just don't care who rules and who doesn't. i support no one anyways". If you wake up one Sunday, and the new government made a change where you have to work on Sundays, do not yell ..do not curse. First kick yourself in the butt for not playing your role to choose good rulers.

Whether the excuse is apathy or laziness, voting has become a privilege that far many too Malaysians take for granted. The next time you neglect to vote, ask yourself how you would feel if you didn't have a choice – to elect a president, or choose a job, or decide how many children to have.

There are many countries where a person does not have a choice, and I'm sure they would gladly change places with you for the fundamental privilege of voting!


"Do not take for granted of what you have now as each day is different"

Today i FINALLLYYYYYYYYYY visited ita's farm. There were more than 20 goats there. With beards..with patches..white..black..brown..small..big..u name it, they have it. There were more 3 days ago. But someone bought em already. Oh and Ita cried looking at her lil goats being taken away. hahahahahhaa. what la u babe. This is why you shouldn't NAME your goats! esp when they are for sale!! :P

I am amazed with their amazing effort and hard work with their challenging business. The surrounding sceneries are nothing but ordinary, but somehow..I just felt calmed the whole time (except when the goats get near me :P). I think the place is amazing. I could 'smell' passion in the air. Then again, it might get mixed up with the poo smell :P

There were these few cuteeeeeeee baby goats. Gosh..if only I favor goats as much as hamsters. hahahahahaha. I couldnt and didnt even want to carry it. :P Geli laaaaa!

The best part was..the vege farm!!! I loveeeeeeeeeee vege! and i think..if ever la i nak start ma own farm..it will be on PLANTS and vege. :D animals are a big No-No! ahahahahaha. Im not good with animals. I'm good with vege. cos i loveeee em. :D Unfortunately, I was there with Aini who's not feeling so well..and dressed in ma pretty expensive jeans..so i didnt stayed that long. I think an hour plus je.

But i learn 1 thing. Saya seekor kambing kampung! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. While ashraf was explaining to me about how greedy goats are, he mentioned that "kambing kampung" are the greediest. They eat like piranha, but are forever thin! :)) Immediately it hit me...goshh..im a kambing kampung! Hahahahahahahha!

Anyways, to Ita and Ashraf, congratulations with your business..and I pray that everything goes well and you will always find happiness and satisfaction with what you guys do. :)


Cheers~

oh..and Happy Chinese New Year ppl! :D
