there she goes

sungguh dalam blank mode. tade idea nak blogging apa. tade cerita sangat. tade isu jugak.
oh ya, untuk piknik weekend ni kiterang bawak samada nasi goreng cina atau lasagna spesel italia. mana sempat eh. jin, kiterang tumpang ko le ye, seperti yang kita diskas semalam hehehe. environmental friendly sket.

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterfliess, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between

layan sangat sampai melekat dalam kepala aku nih ish ish

maa: aaqilah, why are you being so cranky? get up
aaqilah: i know u took a lot of my pics. where are the others?uwaaaa
maa: (dlm hati nak kena pikk budak ni,act kewl) it's only partial uploads. my quota already full. now can u please behave like a clever girl and wait until next month,pleaassee

this trip was planned less than 2 weeks, with the cheapest tickets and accomodations we managed to get. actually it's the hubby who managed to grab these last minit deals. aiyo rasa nak pecah kepala aku mencarinya.

with the cheapest tiket we arrived at paris in the morning of Bastille day or Fete National or French National day. Yang tak best, banyak bas services off. The best part was we got the free entrance to Musee du Louvre. When we're so kindhearted to pay Euro9 and it's such a mini celebration when we're told it's free. ye, visitors memang ramai sangat tapi tak payah queue nak beli tiket ok dah tu. louvre now can be crossed off my list.

ada apa dengan louvre?
the home to priceless-famous-ori paintings, sculptures, historic monuments and a national symbol. the femes glass pyramid is located at the centre of the museum and is easily recognizable. like everyone else, we also wished to see da vinci's monalisa and it's quite arduous walk to get to it's exhibition hall. adoii, naik tangga turun tangga dan louvre ni bapakla enormous. my parents were slowly trailing us from behind while at the same time we'd to deal with the hyperactive aaqilah as she's so amused with stairs. tak mainla laa pegang-pegang saya punya tangan. banyak nude patung. banyak kristian-influenced paintings. pening kepala dan mata huhuhu. islamic exhibitions is coming in 2009. if i had more time i wish i could see all.
hint: it's free on bastille day, close every tuesday

world's femes monalisa, how can i sneak to the front row?









the other best thing
who would like to have a cup of mint tea in the heart of paris, to be precise at the mosque of paris's cafe? i do!
completed in 1920s, nowadays it's more like an exhibition place where people can come freely. still, there's a forbidden area for non-muslims where people perform solat. we met a mesian couple here and gave us a very suprising info, kfc in france are halal. terus aku telupa niat nak minum tea. if you've a little doubt about the halalness, just ask and they are happy to show the halal cert. can't believe that i also miss kfc a lot.









what else
paris' la vallee outlet is surprisingly more expensive than bicester village. minus 1 point. most of things in paris are more expensive than uk, another point deducted. french language susah =(. paris is awesomely beautiful, strongly agreed. toilets are not really convinient dan mahal giler dan hancengs di metro station dan pedestrian walk, potong lagi. me craves for french pastries, sedapnya. i've read somewhere that there're many flea markets in paris but not even one i could find. end of june to early august is a summer sale season in paris, i think it's the best time to shopping spree especially if you're hunting for haute couture. i think living in paris is quite gud idea kekekeke berangan mode. with open arms i welcome another trip to other part in france =)

orang kata tak kenal maka tak cinta. tho love is a too strong word to use here, i think for the second time finally paris got me. merci beaucoup..

entry(s) is/are coming soon =) i'm pretty sure here will update with all the details and photos. for time being, have fun viewing these 2 first eh hehehehe

wenever i mention about i should do more exercise, i usually get popular responds like bukan ko kurus or something like nak kurus lagi ke?

playing sports or going to the gym or exercise is basically you lead a healthy lifestyle. getting slimmer is not attainable with exercising alone. a healthy, well-balanced diet with self dicipline plus exercise will help you tru that. liposuction is another more extreme method to get an instant result. or a broken heart will do that as well.

the mentality should be changed first. we should be more encouraging those who wish to exercise more. i think dat includes myself too la. besides of healty lifestyles, u'll be more productive, more fit, more positive and got nice figure as the end result. if you can't be slim as u hope, at least u are healthy and glowing.

some articles that i've read before was about how healthy do u think skinny people are. some skinny people are suffering from high cholesterol or high blood pressure. doesn't mean if u're skinny outside that u're skinny inside. the fat inside your body most likely to gather around your vital organs if they're not going underneath your skin. lemak-lemak itu yang menyelimuti jantung atau hati atau buah pinggang anda adalah tidak mustahil untuk dinyahkan dengan senaman.

btw, i used to give a speech about any topic in my english class during diploma (rasanya la) which was something i forgot until the class started. i only came up with this topic instantly and managed to impress only with the beginning part. the rest was a total disaster.

mari bersenam!!

Sebenarnya dah lama nak update dengan bday aaqilah secepat kilat itu hari. Kenapa secepat kilat? masak dekat 2-3 jam tapi majlis makannya tak sampai 1/2 jam dah abis ahahaha. terima kasih pada ayah aaqilah yang tolong bekemas sebelum dan sesudah. terima kasih jugak kat makteh yang tolong masak dan tolong kemas.

sebab siangnya dah sakan bejalan dan cuba juga nak sampai rumah not too late. yela apa pon tak buat lagi. hatta lasagna sauce masih daging beku. cupcake pon dalam bentuk tepung lagi.

menu for the makan-makan are as the following; lasagna as requested by makteh, escalope chicken wif tomato salsa n mozzarella by gordon ramsay (i watched it on tv) and bday cupcakes (tak punya masa nak buat kek cokelat).

sori le ye entry sangat outdated =)

hiii. rasa agak lama tak klua muka saya. maa selalu cakap dia tersangatla jarang punya kesempatan untuk upload gamba, tak seperti ayah. saya rasa maa tengah not in the mood kut, sebab penat agaknya. memang laa tak nampak fizikalnya penat tapi mentallynya tak bape fresh tuu. lagipon saya suka mengacau once saya nampak maa duduk kat depan pc dia. ayah tengah ngadap pc, maa juga nak ngadap pc takkan saya dibiarkan main sorang kat bawah. not fair. mesti kat atas meja dan facing to pc adalah jauh lebih seronok dari main blocks atau main conteng-conteng kertas kat bawah. saya sangat suka main conteng-conteng atau baca buku bila maa or ayah ada sama. saya juga suka main masak-masak. saya sangat suka duduk atas kaunter bila maa masak. walopon maa kata aaqilah, bahaya tapi saya suka tengok maa masak. maa ada ajar saya memasak. dia pon cerita bahan-bahan bila dia masak, berapa lama kena tunggu, dont's and do's bila masak. saya rasa cooking ni seronok. jadi saya points to apa-apa yang saya nampak menarik. selalu maa akan kasi sudip dan mangkuk jadi saya bole pretend masak-masak. kalau mood saya baik saya suka. kalau tak, saya tunjuk-tunjuk lagi supaya maa bole terus cari apa saya nak, saya pon tak perlu turun dari kaunter. sebenanya maa tak berapa suka saya duduk atas kaunter sebabnya saya ni suka nak usik semua benda.

saya suka buat mess juga sikit-sikit. ayah selalu bising-bising sebab aaqilah suka sepah-sepah. tapi sekarang saya dah pandai buang rubbish dalam bin. cuma ayah kata kena tengok sebab aaqilah suka buang benda, kang ntah2 apa semua habis masuk bin.

jadi itu laa lebih kurang cerita saya. saya dah lama tak klua rumah ari tu sebab ayah chicken pox. maa kata aaqilah kena stay jugak takut menyebarkan virus pada orang lain. bosannya duduk dalam rumah tak klua jalan-jalan. tapi sekarang dah ok, alhamdulillah.

maa kata nak send saya ke sekolah lepas ni. camne agaknya sekolah. seronok tak? tapi saya rasa seronok kut sebab ada ramai kawan-kawan. tapi tunggu green light dari ayah dulu. atau kalau ayah back to work dan maa juga working saya kena laa pergi sekolah.

oh macam-macam saya nak cerita lagi tapi maa kata it's enuff for today laa aaqilah. nanti saya cerita lagi laa ye.

bye-bye

is it true; daydreamers are always left behind when the realists seize every opportunity in front?

personally i think daydreaming in a positive sense can be turned into hopes and goals. hopes push you to work things out in order to achieve something which at the beginning only part of dreams. dreams make life sweeter and merrier. dreams enhance your creativity. my mak always said, "mimpi tak perlu duit" fair enuff

speaking of dreams, who doesn't have even one? it's becoz we don't have everything, we only own something or little things. i just managed not to fall asleep from chatting with a dear sis. we talked a lot about dreams and daydreaming. fun eh hehehehee kalu tak agaknya dah klua air liur basi atas meja eeiiiii

i dream of mini cooper or one series. i dream of many designer handbags. i dream of tiffany&co. i dream of a day visit to spa. i dream of holiday trips. i dream of scuba diving. i dream of watching futbal live at the stadio delle alpi or san siro. i dream of a nice home at bukit jelutong. i dream of krispy kreme (ni bole makan sat lagi hehe). i dream of french open or wimbledon. i dream of bungee jumping. i dream of owning a cafe. i dream of jeannie who grants watever i dream for ahahahaha

you can dream about anything and almost everything. go ahead and try about 5 minits and it reduces your blood pressure, probably ahahahaahaaa. it's similar to playing sims when you cheat everything. sure bosan aaa sapa main sims camtu. what makes it challenging and exciting is how you turn your dream into goal(s) and go for it

job hunting mode. the hubby's been so encouraging and suggested to find a new job. it'd be better if i could land a permanent job. more secure and at least we are now most definately gonna stay here for another few years.

this one friendly pakcik engineer bid farewell last monday. as usual i greeted morning to him and then suddenly he replied bye-bye. i was quite suprised. seeing me puzzled he then explained it was his last day. after that i saw him busy packing his stuffs. i guess i should give a go at new job. who knows wat will i get. maybe like winning a lottery or plain jane. rezeki Allah sapa yang tahu..

the same afternoon we went to view 2 apartments in the city centre area. to be precise both are close to ocean village/townquay/tepi laut. new buildings with modern equipments and design. tadela besa sangat tapi nice-nice laa kata orang. 2 first things that normally catch my eyes, kitchen and bathroom. by the way, normally houses here are equipped with almost complete kitchen such as stove or electrical hobs, fridge, oven, washing machine + dryer even if they're advertised as unfurnished. and if you're lucky enuff you might get dishwasher as well. if you have extra budjet, get a dryer. conviniently speaking worth to buy for career lady/housewives and musim hujan.

not until september since we are under contract with uni.

or we might have to move somewhere else..
