there she goes

menjelang pertemuan real madrid-juventus malam ni, chee konon haha

as roma dengan jayanya membelasah chelsea 3-1 semalam. aku tengok pon lagi 1/2 jam nak abis game. roma-juve, roma-juve, akan selalu buat aku teringat kes mug juve. sebenanya tade la kes sangat pon, tapi teringat akan kefanatik-an dan jati diri loyal tak berbelah bahagi supporter bola di itali.

italians memang diketahui fanatik akan football, dan sangat team spirit. biasanya derang akan support team kampung halaman sendiri, which can be applied everywhere. seperti contoh, former colleague aku dulu berasal dari birmingham maka secara tradisi satu keluarga dia penyokong aston villa.

cerita aku pulak macam ni. 2 tahun lepas sewaktu kiterang on the way balik dari roma dan tengah queue nak naik flight dan sepeti yang dijangka juga kena tahan dengan pakcik imegresen. biasalaa foreigner. dia pon amik bagpack dari the hubby dan mula memeriksa. satu-persatu barang dari dalam beg dia belek dan mana dia rasa nak tengok dengan detail dia keluarkan. dalam beg tu pon tade pape sangat, cuma kiterang isi dengan souvenir bola yang baru je beli kat fiumicino airport ni seperti stokin inter dan mug juve aku yang the hubby letak kat atas sekali. tiba-tiba dia cakap no-no sambil kluakan mug aku dan berlakon nak buang dalam tong sampah. lepas tu dengan tak semena-mena plak the hubby jawab 'alessandro del piero' sambil tunjuk-tunjuk aku. then dia pandang aku dan cakap 'del piero' dalam slang itali yang memang sedap aku dengar ;D shortly after that, dia masukkan barang dalan beg dan handed over to kiterang sambil cakap ok. yela kalau dibuatnya dia side lazio, mungkin souvenir as roma aku pon dapat nasib sama and vice versa. dan kalau dia memang i giallorossi, agaknya dia dah peluk the hubby atau at least calet sket hahahaha

agaknya kalau kiterang kat turin mungkin pakcik imegresen berbangga adanya juve supporter satu dunia. memang ada niat nak visit stadio olimpico time tu tapi masa dan informasi tak cukup. mungkin satu hari nanti, mungkin juga..

turin, milan, udine, florence, and there goes the list

i'm leaving nxp after one year and a half mostly due to economic situation today. 

although i've been bitching about leaving before, now it's time for real. i think the last 3-4 monts i did complaint quite a lot, so when my manager told rumours about group merger quite some ago it didn't really strucked me. i was kinda accepted my situation, it's a mixed feelings, sad, a little happy, relieved and a bit of pressure came later.

it's sad to leave such a nice and friendly environment, moreover i am so comfortable working here. a little happy and relieved when eventually i can go without feeling much guilty and most of my things-to-do are now crossed off my used-to-be-quite-long list. soon after that the pressure was quite immense realizing that our financial won't be as strong as before. 

job market nowadays quite tough and very competitive. sigh..

hari ni selepas lunch dan zohor kiterang ke city centre, jalan kaki saja. maklumlaa bas tidaklah murah dan city juga tidaklah jauh mana. tapi nak jadi la plak, hujan turun. mula-mula elok saja renyai-renyai, kiterang pon masuk klua mall jadi takde laa teruk sangat. kemudian ke mothercare dengan niat utama iaitu mencari kotak. last year kiterang berjaya mendapat kotak saiz-saiz stroller tuu kat mothercare jadi we went to try our luck for second time. yeay, kotak berjaya didapatkan. 
on the way balik aku rasa macam malas tapi tape tape kita jimat so jalan kaki. hujan makin lebat pulak tu. sepanjang 20-30 minit kiterang meredah hujan. aaqilah relaks je sampai tido sebabnya dia ada rain cover. ditambah kiterang baru belikan hat dan glove jadi dia rasa warm saja. at one point aku rasa nak pau je glove aaqilah, tanganku dan mula numb. hidung berair tapi sebab kena hujan pon ko takkan tau air hidung ke air hujan ke kekeekeke 

waktu berjalan tu aku rasa kesian kat diri sendiri pon ada. 

i'm a professinal cynic
but my hearts not in it
i'm paying the price to living life at legal limit

if only i am smarter, more convincingly speaking and more confidently sound
hasniza who?

apparently she misses this kinda breakfast. instant roti malabar we got from halal shop serves with dhal and sambal sardin.. teh tarik will be the perfect complement

If only..

stroller aaqilah sekarang dah jadi forward position dan tak bole baring lagi. kerana apa? ok ok maa aaqilah broke adjustment lock dia. kadang-kedang kesian bila tengok aaqilah tido waktu jalan-jalan.

tengok laa kalu ada rezeki, kita go for the brown hehe.. err kalau ada baby yang untuk twin tu pon ok jugak.

ini berangan saja-saja kan aaqilah. stroller baby macam kereta pulak. trendy dan dah jadi semacam status simbol pon ada. mana satu necessity, mana satu bergaya?

waktu aaqilah baby dulu kiterang selalu bawak aaqilah dalam baby carrier je. sangat praktikal dan sangat senang untuk travel. bila dia mula pandai berjalan sangat excited nak jalan sambil dia yang tolak stroller sendiri. tapi nowadays, aaqilah sangat enjoy duduk atas kereta dia. sapa nak dukung aaqilah, maa tak larat deh..

from our experience, buzz is easily manoeuvrable, smart design, wideness dia kadang-kadang membuatkan aku malas masuk kedai, walaupon makan space tapi it's practicalibility menyebabkan senang disimpan, price wise agak mahal dan bole dipakai since birth. kadang-kadang bila tensen tengok bas penuh, dan kelebaran buzz ni ada jugak rasa nak tukar yang lagi kecik huhuhu

the interview went quite well.

pre-interview, adalah rasa macam nak tercekik dan hampir tak bole bernafas. thanks to support from miss apple and the hubby dearest aku managed untuk bernafas semula. inhale, breathe.. inhale, breath. push.. push..

banyak citer knowledge management, research methods, web applications, external/internal sources. aku? ye bila patut ye. not really bila tak pernah. ada laa poyo-poyo sket tapi tatau if it works like a charm. banyak pakai guna tapi kalau diberi peluang, adalah opportunity sesuatu yang agak baru.

sebelom aku seorang mamat, selepas aku seorang mamat jugak. itu saja dah 3 orang. tatau laa dah bape ramai derang soal jawab dan berdiskusi, hmm

terima kasih banyak-banyak pada yang mengucapkan selamats slamats.. terharu saya =)

ada la orang itu, semalam dah la tak pergi kerja, interview plak salah harinya..

mungkin sebab makan-makan banyak sangat kat open house telah menyebabkan orang itu sakit perut dia pagi hari dan ke toilet berkali-kali. sakit macam awal period yang memang lazim pada orang itu. sampai ke peha semua. pukul 2 lebih dah bangun, pukul 4 lagi bangun, lepas tu terlelap kejap sambil tunggu queue waktu pukul 5 lebih sebabnya waktu ni the hubby pon mula rasa perut meragam. kemudian pukul 6 lebih the hubby tolong buatkan milo. lepas minum milo baring mengudang sambil the hubby gosok belakang. huhuhuh terima kasih, milonya kaw. 

awak: awak ni pergi kerja ke tak?
saya: perut sakit lagi
awak: awak malas ye
saya: hehehehe (sakit tau)

jadi orang itu masuk bilik dan sambung tido sambil peluk lil missy. kurang sakit perut rasanya. tetiba teringat kena hanta text kat mr manager nih. tengah-tengah half asleep atau kata lain mamai tu orang itu menulis text dan tetido. tebangun balik pukul 10 dan cek kenapa laa mr manager tak reply. rupanya message tak habis karang la. nasib baik gak tak go tru, ntah apa kemenda rupanya message tu. 

asal makan je tak lama lepas tu nak ke toilet. orang itu sudah agak risau, camne nak pergi intebiu nih dan perut masih meragam. haisshh

maka dalam pukul 2.15 gitu orang itu sudah menunggu bas. hujan gerimis pulak. walaupon tak lebat tapi angin yang kuat menyebabkan bole basah jugak. walaupun map dia tangan namun building 27 tade la sesenang yang disangka untuk dijumpa. bila dah jumpa entrancenya pulak tak tak jumpa. konpius betul.

yeay akhirnya orang itu jumpa jugak. tetapi bila dah jumpa ini pula yang jadi.

me: saya ada interview pukul 2.50
rec: errr tade pon
me: err ye, interview saya pukul 2.50
rec: nama apa ye
me: hasniza
rec: (check kertas lain) hari rabu le miss
me: (aiyo sambil mencari surat) errr, haah laaa

jadi kesimpulannya lain kali baca betul-betul surat/emel appointment anda. sila laa highlight pape yang patut.

notes: mujur 2 hari awal, kalau 2 hari lambat? hi and bye je laa jawabnya huhuhuhu

itula cerita orang itu pergi interview di lain hari

sesuatu yang mendebarkan dan mengejutkan terjadi semalam. aaqilah dihempap dresser.

malam tadi aaqilah dengan rajin dan semangatnya menolong maa dia mengemas baju yang dah dilipat. bila tengok dia semangat maka aku pon encouraged dia le untuk tolong. kiterang angkat baju sesama dan susun dalam laci. keluar masuk bilik beberapa kali.

untuk trip yang terakhir sewaktu aku kat living hall, tetiba dengar bunyi kuat dan followed by orang menjerit. alamak aaqilah. berlari aku masuk bilik tengok dresser dah jatuh dan dia kat bawah. terus image macam dalam desperate housewives yang aku tengok bebaru ni terbayang. huh seram. tapi syukur dan mujur dia duk kat hujung sekali. tangan dia yang kena sikit. menjerit memang kuat, aku terus angkat dan bising mulut dia bercerita agaknya. kan kecoh sekejap. syukur alhamdulillah aaqilah tade pape tadi. a bit shocked je kut.

bedroom aku tu sebab carpet jadi dresser dan almari semua jadi tak rata. sekarang aku tiba-tiba risaukan almari baju pulak haishhy.. kalau aku atau the hubby yang kena tape laa kan. nauzubillah.

budak-budak at this age memang curious sangat dengan surrounding dia. kita plak mesti laa bising sebab takut jadi pape yang might be harmful apa lagi fatal. orang kata nakal tape, maknanya dia sentiasa berfikir dan aktif. macam selagi dia tak tau sakitnya macam mana selagi tu NO is like that's ok, why shudn't i. tapi bila kena, dia nangis dan tau ooo tak bole buat macam tu. dat's why i got NO. serik dan lesson learnt.

aku cuba untuk tidak terlalu menyekat, tidak juga terlalu encouraging (applies to certain cases). let her tries as long as it's safe, beneficial and a good learning process. 

tak silap aku pernah baca dan org juga ada mention, too many NO's bole buatkan budak tu takut untuk explore dan later affects kepada self esteem dan personal development. too loose pulak takut-takut dia sampai tatau boundary sendiri.

bukankah kita ada parenting tips terbaik yang telah ditinggalkan? cuba cek dan baca balik (untuk myself dan semua)

i am left puzzled.

just got a call from uni of southampton (if i'm not mistaken) saying that there's an interview i need to attend next week (if i'm not mistaken again).

my mind was busy racing and locating what and when i applied for jobs in uni. probably i did sent the application. but wait, job apa?? 

a few minutes after the call and i've calmed myself, better to think and remember stuffs when it's less complicated. the caller i think should introduce herself more proper and she didn't even ask for me in the first place. aaa sebab itu juga aku ingat the interview is for the hubby since the call was from uni kan kan. or probably my blankness prompted her to be puzzled as well. amik laa dua-dua dah kosong. 

let's hope now that i wasn't dreaming and that interview is for real.

in that case, it's gonna be my first interview after nearly one year and a half. the last i went was for the job i'm currenly at. doa aku banyak-banyak that they'll love me and i get the job.

tapi job apa????

amin..

as promised some of the photos from kitchen and a little peek of the bedroom. living room is coming soon (can't promise it to be very soon sori hehehe)

it's nearly a month now that we're disconnected from outside and the rest of the world. ish cam teruk je bunyinya. i guess that's somehow i felt when we have no broadband connection at home. no broadband means no internet. no internet is similar to frogs trapped underneath coconut shell situation muahahaha nampaknya aku nih dah jadi teknology dependant juga??

i miss uploading photos eventho i was always had many excuses to delay when i had the connection. i hate to admit i miss facebook, a lot. i miss viewing my own blog and others, google reader u can only read without the pleasure to the eyes. i miss handbags browsing altho it's very unlikely to spend on them. i miss resepi hunting. on top of that, i miss girl, err no ladies-chatting-gossiping-mengumpats with my fellow ladies. i too miss some illegal dls huhuhu i miss sport updates

i've just been informed that the broadband will be resumed next week. another week huh. should get my money refunded nih for one month not using their service. 

one more week tralalala

aaqilah would like to wish everybody Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfiti =)
for more and many thanks to anom

menyambut lebaran di tempat orang adalah satu pengalaman julung-julung sekali. dan ini adalah kerana memang tak dapat nak balik. it wasn't so bad to be truth.

kat sini adilfitri diraikan sehari awal dari mesia, iaitu 30hb september 2008. hari isnin tu aku pergi kerja macam biasa, tade plan juga nak balik awal. walaupon rumours ada mengatakan macam ada harapan raya jatuh pada selasa. kiterang pon tade prepare pape lagi untuk masak-masak. kalau raya hari rabu, esok baru nak beli dan masak. kalau raya esok nak tanak hari isnin kena jugak masak. 

balik rumah je aku pon discussed dengan the hubby persuading him pergi kedai beli pape yang patut. cakap pon tak berapa convincing jadi request pon tak berapa nak layan. last sekali agaknya sebab dia terpike dan kesian jadi dia agreed. bagi list pape yang patut so he off walked to the halal shop.

aku cuma plan nasi impit + kuah kacang + rendang ayam. the hubby made his personal request of rendang daging. aku pike ok jugak since bahan-bahannya sama cuma divide elok-elok between ayam dan daging. jadi lepas buka, solat maghrib dan lepak-lepak depan tv aku pon memulakan kerja-kerja memasak. biasalah, preparation proses as in mengupas, membasuh, menghiris, dan sebagainya took most of the time. after that, menumis dan mula merendang bersama-sama the assistant. in between the big boss aka miss aaqilah keluar masuk dapur requested cookie laa, nak susu laa, pointing out cutlery laa dan last sekali mengamok nak tido. aku pon rasa bole tahan flat (balik kerja -> masak buka -> confirmed esok raya jadi kena masak raya). rasa cam superwoman lak huhuhu. to all superwomen out there, very good job!! i always amaze how well you manage time and juggle between work, home, kids and stuffs.

aku pon tak sure pukul berapa setel dan terima kasih pada my assistant yang tolong mengacau rendang. tak sempat punya pasal, aku tido before 1 dan bangun around 4.30 for the kuah kacang. paling tensen kulit pon tak kupas lagi. errr i hate this job, mengupas kulit kacang. 3 hours later, alhamdulillah semua settled. jadi aku pon mandi-mandi dan siap-siap nak pergi semayang raya (which turned out tak sempat jugak) aaqilah pon elok je bangun awal jadi sementara dia tengah gedik-gedik semangat nak ikut aku yang dah cantek ni maka siapkan dia sekali dan kiterang pon pergi makan-makan raya yang dianjurkan mesian community kat sini. happening jugak. sangat bulat mata aaqilah ternampak bouncy castle yang ada kat luar hall ni. paling tensen dan sayang aku tak bawak kamera pulak huhuhu.

lepas jamuan sini kiterang gerak ke rumah pertama untuk beraya iaitu en basheer dan pn jerina. menu yang first time untuk kiterang di pagi raya, putu mayam served with curry or brown sugar. aku sangat excited memandangkan dah bertahun-tahun tak makan putu mayam. the hubby was excited to try both. 

lepas tu gerak ke satu lagi rumah iaitu en sawal dan pn anom. kat sini kuah lodeh dan rendang ayam. satu lagi menu yang konfirm tade kat rumah hehehee. memang kenyang. lepas the hubby layan game raya (pro-evo le) satu dua round kiterang pon gerak balik. malam ni turn rumah en effirul plak.

balik rumah sempat lagi untuk aku buat kek. memang nak buat ye untuk raya tapi semalam tak sempat. terasa happening bila orang datang beraya. aaqilah punya seronok bila ayah dia bukak pintu dia yang meluru kluar greeted dulu. sungguh terkinja-kinja keseronokan bila orang datang beramai-ramai ke rumah aaqilah.

terima kasih daun keladi. 

ye begitu laa serba sederhana kiterang menyambut aidilfitri tahun ini. tahun depan kita balik beraya insyaAllah (cuma tataulaa short stay or otherwise hehehe)

dari kami,
10 jari disusun,
mohon maaf dan ampun,
salam aidilfitri..

dari kejauhan,
aaqilah,hasniza,effirul

happy 3rd and many years to come. my joy, my pride, my everything. 

happy belated.
my whimsy =)

mrs u and me

my latest crush after leonard hofstadter(johnny galecki) is ryan gosling kekeke

ye semua, kiterang telah selamat berpindah ke rumah baru last friday's evening. maklumla, esoknya by 10 dah kena clear rumah.

jadi selepas 3-4 hari ni, rumah pon mostly back to normal. furniture utama dah siap pasang (diy) dan dah arranged mana nak letak. yang tinggal skarang ialah projek mengemas kain baju yang rupanya bertimbun-timbun dan barang-barang kecik. agak penting juga ialah menvacuum umah. kurang bes, fridge comel sangat sampaikan kena gilir-gilir simpan ayam-daging *sigh*. nak simpan makanan pon kena optimal arrangement.

konklusinya kiterang suka =) it wasn't at first sight love but we began to like it slowly. lagi spacious, nice white goods, cuma unfurnished je la.

yang paling unexpected ialah rumah ni di luar digital tv coverage. bole plak gitu. lokasinya betul-betul tepi main road in fact jalan utama to city centre dan motorway. jadi jangankan digital tv, phone umah dan internet pon tengah dalam proses transfer lagi. silap jugak sebab buat transfernya dan hujung minggu lepas. mana le sangka dia nak amik up to 7 days plak.

fren: wah korang macam orang zaman batu
me: rumahnya banyak gadget stuffs. tapi connection tade je tau ekeke

final gamba still yet unavailable. rumah still messy.

have i ever mentioned that we're moving, again (ikut intonasi monica baru klaka ekekeke)

if i did, hence this entry is like another repeat but wth haha. yes, in 3 three years we've been moving around and this is the 4th house and the 3rd move. penat memang penat.

dengan kereknya hall management from uni sent us a letter with list of instructions need to be followed by the time we move out. among that i could recall is we need to hand over the keys to somebody who'll come to pick up around 9 something. by 10 the house should be like when we first moved in. maka we got to repaint some side of the walls, aaqilah already showed us her artistic talent there.

i'll try to upload some pics of the new flat later

ciao

it's mot or heath assessment day today. last week was a blood pressure test day. dengan rajinnya i went both.

my blood pressure reading was 120/75. the health officer told me it's healthy low. ye gak, kadang-kadang aku rasa slightly dizzy especially kalu lapar. oklaa tu, bukannya apa lately aku rasa agak depress. kadang-kadang tu sampai sakit kepala, i was a little bit worried if i got hypertension all of a sudden. genetically it's possible. 

jadi apa cerita hari ni. firstly we need to fill in some forms and then sent back to health officer a day or two before the assessment. oo rupanya untuk report. my bmi is low, fiber intake kena ditingkatkan, kena kurangkan makanan berlemak hehehe, even i wondered too. probably food preparation dan kurangkan minyak. my cholesterol level is healthy, 3.44. a seeloknya eksesais 3 kali seminggu. bila tu agaknya??

lepas tu nak kena measure body fat plak. walopon diconsidered ok iaitu below 30%, the thought of nearly 10kg lemak daripada jumlah berat aku mula membuatkan aku compared dengan 2 kampit beras 5 kg yang aku selalu beli kat kedai. kalu sekampit 5 kg aku rasa berat, jadi logiknya berat gak lemak-lemak itu. then when i was supposed to take the cycling cum fitness test, tali pinggang yang aku kena letak kat bawah dada (utk measure heart beat rate) adalah sangat loose sampai testnya tak dapat nak buat. aku pon sebenanya agak risau dengan fitness level diri sendiri. 

bagus juga ada health assessment ni. nak-nak free ekekekee

sudah lama saya menunggu. satu hari saya pernah googled merata-rata searching for that movie. akhirnya, dia sudah available.

saya mau layan dulu, review later (kalau rajin)

sesaja nak cerita pasal kasut. puas cakap kat aaqilah shhuuuuu. ada le kadang-kadang dia nak ikut dia replies back with shhuuuu. dia tau kalau nak klua mesti pakai shhuuuu. ari tu kat vienna bole nangis-nangis tamo sandal, nak shoe je. seb baik laa kaki tu muat lagi. mungkin dia tengok semua orang berkasut. aku plak silap bawak kasut (siap 2 lagi konon).

kononnya nak bergaya dan rasa bergaya. tapi sampai airport lagi dah takleh tahan. terpaksa laa the hubby membuka luggage yang ada sneakers. ada iklan sket punya besar promoting italian shoe atau italian leather shoe tapi yang pasti italian made. my komen, saket tau, it's killing every inch you move huhu

since aku melayan in her shoes (tesangatla ketinggalan) ari tu, aku pon nak berangan sama. sangat kewl membuka almari dan beratur je kasut yang comel dan seksi. manolo la, jimmy choo laa. maka dengan semangatnya aku pon husya laa online, and as expexted tidaklah saya mampu nampaknya (even jimmy choo's costs u nearly hundred pounds kat outlet)

apparently sejak kebelakangan ni saya sudah mula pandai mengapresiasi kasut perempuan. dulu aku wonder why heels? ye, it gives balance and looks sexy. aku pon dah mula pandai sket-sket, pumps, flats, wedges, sandals, stiletto, echeche.. terminology pon dah cukup kompleks hehehe

apa pon, my favorite of all =) sangat comfy

Danube so blue, so bright and blue,

through vale and field you flow so calm,

our Vienna greets you, you silver stream

through all the lands you merry the heart

with your beautiful shores.

Far from the Black Forest

you hurry to the sea

giving your blessing to everything.

Eastward you flow,

welcoming your brothers,

A picture of peace for all time!

Old castles looking down from high,

greet you smiling from their steep

and craggy hilltops,

and the mountains' vistas

mirror in your dancing waves.

The mermaids from the riverbed,

whispering as you flow by,

are heard by everything

under the blue sky above.

The noise of your passing

is a song from old times

and with the brightest sounds

your song leads you ever on.

Stop your tides at Vienna,

it loves you so much!

Whenever you might look

you will find nowhere like Vienna!

Here pours a full chest

the charms of happy wishes,

and heartfelt German wishes

are flown away on your waters.

apa lagu zoo dan kfc waktu zaman kita budak-budak dulu? all i could recall ..bla bla bla fun in the zoo, so much things to do, bla bla... sungguh pandai promosi kfc dan zoo, dan during our visits to zoo when we're kids, we'd never be granted with kfc, only rides on kfc train.

lepas zoo negara the other zoo yang aku pernah pegi rasanya singapore zoo pon waktu kecik-kecik jugak. waktu apak (mak's younger brother) kawen kat taiping pon budak-budak ni iaitu cousins aku pegi zoo taiping tp kiterang yang besa-besa ni tak ikut laa. kata besa kan hehe.

i took aaqilah to zoo which marked the beginning of her zoo trips. i bet she won't remember much after this hehehe. hari kiterang ke zoo ialah hari the hubby spent his full day at the konferens. dia kata bole save sket, katanya laa. lagipon zoo ni situated across the hotel we stayed. jalan kaki saja.

katanya the oldest zoo in the world which opened around 1200++. memang kat dalam tu pon tadela moden sangat, ala-ala zoo negara yang aku could recall waktu aku gi kecik-kecik dulu jugak. berharap jugak ada kfc train or kfc bus but sadly no huhuhu. i had to manage my time wisely between tengok binatang and keja aaqilah or tarik aaqilah or dukung aaqilah or marah aaqilah kejap. the time we had so much fun together was when ice cream time yeay. aaqilah pulak bila mandi kat fountain near the exit. nasib baik kat exit, jadi tadelaa jauh sangat distance nak dukung dia klua

rupanya pergi zoo tade ayah aaqilah bole tahan penat juga. tade buggy aaqilah like a double penat. dan aku rasa aaqilah pon tak berapa pandai menengok binatang lagi, maa dia yang lebih gamaknya..seronok tak seronok, balik hotel terus pengsan dua beranak

gitula citer zoo trip aaqilah dan maa

recently aku sangat semangat dengan kuih-muih melayu ni. maklumla puasa kan. tade rasa nak buat cupcakes atau muffin atau roti atau baklava. aku teringat kat seri muka, buah melaka, karipap, lopes etc..

jadi since day 1 lagi aku mulakan projek malay kueh dengan buah melaka. sebabnya senang dan ntah kenapa dah jadi a must to do on the first day puasa since aku start belaja buat buah melaka atau onde-onde to some people. kalau istilah lenggeng derang panggil glomang or something like dat. serius aku lupa tapi sapa tau please let me know thanks. tapi glomang tu cam pelik plak, no?

2nd day sebab tak berapa punya masa aku buat bubur chacha. the hubby dengan suggestion (request) bubur pulut hitam tapi macam tak berapa sempat. bubur pulut hitam goes into my list for coming days now.

semalam pulak aku dah tak tahan nak seri muka especially resepi yang aku requested kat adik manes aka cik apple dah dapat. merasalaa seri muka semalam kudos to cik apple kita, ops her mum actually. time kaseh makcik ;)

so what's in for today? nothing plan yet, probably today is bubur pulut hitam day. hey,drop in some idea, terima kaseh daun keladi..

syukur alhamdulillah ramadhan yang penuh kemuliaan datang lagi. seperti kebiasaan, hari-hari aku pike menu apa nak masak. almaklumlaa, sini tade bazaar ramadhan. tapi tatau laa kalu mesian society sini nak buat plak satu hari nanti ke. tapi aku rasa kiterang pon tadela membeli sangat agaknya. even kat malaysia pon memang ada pergi tapi aku rasa homely made lagi sedap. nama pon puasa jadi temptation mata tu yang buat semua nampak sedap. tapi aku paham, kalau dah kerja tu mana le sempat sangat kut. tatau laa kiterang agaknya asik makan luar je gamaknya ekekekee

seperti kebiasaan aku mesti kena berlari keja bas pepagi. benci tau. rasa malu memang buang jauh-jauh la. pagi ni instead of good morning aku dapat still made it. memang ada the next bas in 15 minutes tapi aku pon benci nak tunggu lagi. lagi cepat sampai lagi banyak hours leh cover atau lagi cepat aku bole cabut. kalu nasib baik bas uni akan sampai sama dengan bas opis sampai. nasib lagi baik bas uni sampai a few minit awal dari bas opis. selalunya man-man je dengan syarat berlari laa. atau naik je laa earlier bas, gerenti senang hati jalan kaki..

seperti kebiasaan aku ni memang slowpoke dengan keje-keje mengupload nih. memula tu je semangat-semangat poyo tapi lepas tu huh sikit-sikit. banyak sangat sampai tak terpilih ekekekeke perasan nampak,no?

nak citer sket menu semalam, mana tau leh inspire orang lain ke kan..
1. nasi putih
2. sea bass bakar sambal
3. paprik ayam + sayur (we got 2 in 1 here)
4. buah melaka biru
5. kurma almond

seperti kebiasaan, ekspress saja bak shinkansen. tapi still needs 2 hours ++ ehmmm...

i'd say it's gonna take a while for vienna pics. and did i say vienna? hehehe

sebena-sebena memang sebenanya this trip was a very last minute one. the hubby submitted a paper to workshop that we thot won't go tru but only was informed the acceptance in like 2++ weeks before the conference started. we only managed to settle the flight tikets and accomodation in 1 week time and it's bole-tahan stressful. actually i paid for 2 flight tikets and some belanja-belanja as the hubby was sponsored by the uni. bole laa kan.. but we had to cover for every expenses and claim later. nak tanak kena ada some money upfront huhuhu

the best to describe vienna trip: sangat seronok, warm, friendly, very comforting, vibrant vienna. tak sesak sangat. yang pelik kiterang rasa homey. jadi betul juga seperti yang aku pernah baca, viennese welcome tourist like a long lost noble family.

konklusinya:
1. we stayed in the 13th distric, heitzing home to Schönbrunn Palace and Tiergarten Zoo among others. 8-10 minutes from city centre.
2. giant ferris wheel ride, terasa menggigil gak lutut. ooo gayat
3. merayau hampir satu city covered kut
4. natural history museum tour, Kunsthistorisches Museum
5. posh viennese
6. souvenirs adalah mahal, cheapest fridge magnet is around euro3.90

if not because of this confence, probably we don't have so much headache thinking about our moving day and credit shrinkings. but because of this conference, we had the opportunity to be part of vienna even only for days.

salam ramadhan semua =)

It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier
When sea foam green
Is in fashion
You you, oh
Are you in?

i was youtubing for dewa 19 for some songs when i stumbled upon this version of satu featuring fadly and yoyok of padi. agaknya untuk show berteraskan islam dan keagamaan. i like this version much better hehehe sorry aa once (suara lu ada sket sengau huhuhu). menusuk kalbu..



tak ada yang lain
selain diriMu
yang selalu kupuja
ooo kusebut namaMu
di setiap hembusan nafasku
kusebut namaMu, ku sebut namaMu

tak sampai dua minggu lagi kita akan menyambut kedatangan ramadhan. aku strongly rasa aku ni perlukan sket training supaya nanti tadelaa melepek sangat. kalu tidak huuu teruk gak kut awal-awal nanti.

rutin harian. bangun pagi selalunya jarang breakfast kat rumah, selalunya aku minum air je. kalu sempat hot drink otherwise air kosong je. bekal untuk lunch bole kata seminggu probabiliti dia ialah 3 hari out of 5. kalu tak bawak bekal beli sandwich atau veggie option. sampai je opis, first stop ialah mesin kopi. by pukul 8, selalunya aku dah setel 2 cups. 9 lebih selalunya kelaparan, kena cari roti plak atau pastri dari kafe. another cup or two lagi before lunch. lepas tu hati pon senang. tapi selalunya kan by the time aku sampai rumah tatau le kenapa mesti rasa lapar balik. selalunya aku makan cereal sebelom prepare untuk dinner pulak. aaa jadi logik laa kan aku rasa a bit worried nak pose ni huhu

tapi kalu pike-pike balik insyaAllah sebab niat pose tu laa menjadikan ketahanan badan tu lebih. biasalaa kan awal sehari dua melepek sket. especially bila balik umah ada plak orang lain yg makan aku balik. ye, she's turning 26 months (tomorrow laa) and still breastfeeding..

tapela, kita gradually kurangkan makan di opis. train perut okie..

hail the new king of tennis

rafael nadal

does this mean that the end for former king mr federer? not sure but he'll be back i think. it's just rafa played better up to now and much more younger. if he wins the next us open and then aussie plak, it's a clean sweep tho not in the same year hehe

vamos!!

sebenanya dah lama abis tapi amik masa lama untuk pikekan review yang sesuai. chee 'review' tu hehehee

aku beli in the first place sebab paolo coelho at the charity shop jadi bole agak le kan bape harganya. kalu tatau sapa dia ni, dia adalah brazilian novelist dan lyricist. aku kira buku paling femes dia ialah the alchemist, most people akan tau. aku penah jumpa sorang pakcik ni dia baca the french alchemist jadi in general the alchemist is a well-known.

the witch of portobello ni pasal sorang pompuan yang mencari-cari apa sebenanya yang dia cari dalam hidup dia yang define purpose dia in life, true happiness dan satisfaction. dari london ke dubai blaja kaligrafi lepas tu romania mencari mak dia lepas tu balik london dan kadang-kadang ke glasgow blaja ala-ala black magic dengan cikgu dia dan lepas tu turn dia plak yang jadi cikgu mengajar dan blaja. apa yang dia ajar, life dan something beyond life. err lebih kurang le..

sebenanya aku pon tak paham sangat spiritual journey minah ni. as i read towards the end, lagi aku tak paham apa yang minah ni nak sebenanya. kompleks sangat. agaknya sebab tu aku stick with the book dan habiskan jugak, sebab nak tau apa yang jadi kat athena. yang menariknya persepsi terhadap athena disampaikan tru orang lain dalam hidup dia.

jadi apa bole aku katakan - up to you, nak baca bole je. tamo pon ada banyak lagi menda bole buat/buku bole baca akakaakakakaa

journey pembacaan aku - aku sentiasa pegang pada reading is a good habit, it's a learning process.

i like the 'negation' word, sounds smart hehehe
eg: i suppose it's a negation of something something..

maka do i sound smart? ekekekekeeee

btw, 5 words that make u sound smart from here,
epitome, finagle, gregarious, panacea, perfunctory

p/s:i first learnt epitome from butterfingers wkakakaaa

u go girl!!

aku suka kucing tapi semenjak kucing aku hilang waktu darjah 6 terus aku jadi tawar hati. kata orang time heals, ye kut dan amik masa sangat lama. 20++ tahun lebih tuu.. lepas si miaw-miaw aku hilang, kucing-kucing lain yang kiterang bela dah tak sama..

rasa macam pecaya tak pecaya je bila cousin aku citer dia beli kucing, katanya teman dia. yang jadi problem bila dia nak balik becuti, camne dengan kucing nih.. waktu memula kiterang becerita tu tetiba aku menjadi excited dan terus semangat husya kucing online. tapi dia cakap tak payah laa jaa,tak tejaga nanti. hmm btul gak, lagi-lagi malas nak pike kalau nak travel ke. dan aku memang tengah tebayang-bayang apa kenit akan cakap huhuhu

memang satu hari nanti aku rasa nak bela kucing balik. mungkin jugak time tu aaqilah dan adik-adik yang menjaga besama-sama hehehe dengan keadaan sekarang ni, rasionalnya aku sendiri tak berapa mampu dari segala segi..hehehe segitiga segiempat polygon heksagon aiyoo

my remarks about the archery team consists of 3. dari observations ialah archery women team.

1. anchor woman - the one who will step up wenever she needs or must to step up

2. the consistent one - yang akan produce mata-mata konsisten

3. faktor tak stabil - contributes lowest points as well as highest points dengan tak semena-mena.

unlike most of teams, the korean team i think has 1 anchor woman and the remaining 2 are the consistent contributors. they streamrolled every teams on their way to final and even won the gold in such a stylish way. when they broke the record with 231 out of 240, i can only wonder (didn't see this one) how accurate and consistent they were.

biasala aku, teringin plak rasanya nak mencupid gak esp my en.bos yang meninggalkan repot dengan logik yang aku rasa tak logik tapi menurut dia logik dan aku sangat hangin dan berangin dan rasa weh cepatla tade orang mau amik aku keje je &%^&&^$"$^&(*

i don't really care much less about date nowadays. probably because i want to keep up with time. every seconds i hope i could recall precisely every inch in details heheheh.

all i know this month is quite hectic, release schedule, training, data migration, kawan going back fo good and hubby's conference. shortly after dat is the coming of glorious ramadhan, pindah umah, bday and anniversary, raya, etc. kononnya by not keeping track of date i could save some elements of suprise there, atleast for myself laa.

no wonder a lot of my frens blogs updated today embracing the 08.08.08. clever! shud i or shud i not. i have slightest knowledge about numbers or fengshui. to some people 8 is a lucky prosperous number. to me not a favourite one, only dat i was born in the year of 80. 7 or 4 is much more preferable than using 8 hint hint

anyway i hope the opening ceremony of olympic games today is a succesful one as the organizer hopes it will be the greatest in olympic's history. let's pray for the olympic as the center stage to peace, harmony and unity, not for any political agenda or terrorism threats

Citius, Altius, Fortius

for the next 2 weeks we're turning on the couch potatoes mode.

I was and sometimes a little worried when aaqilah still doesn't speak. looking at the parents, i was a talkative one when i was a little girl. the hubby also talkative even up until now.

eventho she doesn't converse in the language that people understand, she speaks everytime using her hands, facial expressions and she mutters her own words. instead of one way learning, all of us learn at the same time. she learns wordings and languages from the parents and vice versa as we learn her language and physical expressions.

she points to watever catches her eyes. she pushes aside telling us can u work harder please, this is not wat i want. she isn't really straight-forward anymore, she now knows a lot of our tricks. she throws rubbish into bin, even once i lost my 20pound she took from my bag and found the note in the bin. bahaya btul.. actually most of her words starts with 'a'. but the easiest to reckon is when she throws herself on the floor for deniable requests or showing her protests towards the parents. tahap ultima ini selalunya bila penat atau ngantuk jadi level mengada-ngada tu memang tinggi.

a fren of mine told me dat one of her girls was quite like aaqilah before, she started speaking at 3++. not from one word to another word, her vocabs are like 3 year old and produced long complete sentences. when she answered 3++ tahun, i was like relieved and from my pelik-funny expression all of us bursted into roaring laughters.

lala she refers to current favorite teletubbies show

bebaru ni waktu mencari barang tetiba aku tejumpa sebungkus biskut azan yang mak aku bawak itu hari.

memang sengaja simpan untuk hari yang sangat menyenangkan, tapi ntah bila. kebetulan rasa lapar, jadi aku jerang air dan biskut azan completes kopi panas perfectly.

biskut azan atau biskut arab atau biskut panjang atau biskut kering. i couldn't recall how the name stucked. mungkin sebab cap azan jadi kiterang panggil biskut azan. seriusly aku tak ingat. the packaging has now commercially changed. looks better and of course the price hikes up a little bit.

disebabkan aaqilah ni ada sekali jadi dia mesti sebok-sebok gak nak involve sama. sambil melayan kopi panas dan biskut azan aku pon becerita kat aaqilah.


tak kesahla aaqilah paham ke tak tapi dia pon excited dipping the biskut dalam kopi. tapi dip je laa pastu tinggalla biskut kembang. aku pon cepat-cepat kaut dan makan, sayang tuuu dah le datang dari jauh ni..

kopi panas dan biskut azan akan sentiasa buat aku tesengih sorang dan teringat zaman aku budak-budak. ye betul even sampai sekarang kalau balik lenggeng aku still make a special request kopi nenek. kopi yang nicely mixed, pahit kopi but not too bitter, manis gula but not too sweet. sekarang pon nenek aku takdela larat nak angkat cerek air panas tapi tetap nak buatkan kopi walopon dengan bagi instructions je. shortly after dat, along biskut azan ada dalam bekas tu..

ahaiii, windunya..

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..

agak lama jugak rasanya tak blogging. before the family came i was so in the mood of blog updating. tade citer pon rajin jugak mau citer. kita kasi tambah-tambah so nampak macam drama hehehe. tadela, aku tade nak tipu. probably there's some hidden facts here and there tapi tadela tipu ye.

so bila derang datang, selain busy menjadi tuan rumah busy jugak berjalan. pc aku dah macam ada queue sapa nak guna. jadi aku duduk menumpang kat the hubby's lak. tak silap around that time aku pon agak busy kat ofis. tengok blog cam tak meriah bila tade gamba aku rasa kurang semangat lak. nak-nak bila the hubby dengan photos then cerita bejalan dia.

idea tade sangat, cerita bes pon tade. malas je yang ada hehe. jangankan blog, flikr pon dah nak nangis sebab aku lama tak visit. alaa relax aa flikr, ko pon ada kuota bape banyak bole upload gamba ahahahaa. biasalaa bila kita nak menda-menda free ni. fotopages pon aku dah lama gile tak upload. the reasons are as the following,
1. ada orang discovered that fotopages is originally from israel;
2. photo quality not really good sebab compression;
3. the web itself dah membosankan
4. malas nak manage banyak-banyak dalam 1 masa
5. mau keep it simple and low profile whehehehee

dengan berakhirnya euro2008 semalam, squadra italia only managed to the quarter. sorry to see donadoni got to go. my congratulations goes to de la roja for clinching the european glory after 40++ years. also aku nak congratulate bijakgenius for overpowering the liga kawan-kawan. previously known as teambijak, adakah nama di situ memainkan peranan? tambah genius bole jadi futbal pundit jugak dah, jadi bole berdiri side by side dengan lancapregu yang proved his wit and intelligence strategi during world cup last time. congrats jugak kepada lancapregu kerana menjadikan liga semakin sengit dan sensasi sewaktu final. tak lupa congrats untuk sting benitez yang menunjukkan ke-superior-an di peringkat awal. komen dr aini taib aka manager lancapregu, macam mana nak pike straight di saat saya demam campak. i would rather seeing italia thru to the semi than beating everyone. well, can i get both then if italia tru, can't i? selain the bragging rights, aku jugak pegang the pundit holder until the next championship le kut kekekeekekee

wat else? terasa macam nak carik keje baru je

it's chicken pox season
doakan cepat sembuh
many thanks
=(

(mungkin aku akan busy dan tak punya masa untuk update dalam 2-3 hari akan datang)

2 tahun lepas, masa yang lebih kurang sama, dengan kesibukan tak menentu the hubby mengejar 9 months viva dan kemeriahan world cup. the baby's due was like another 2 weeks away. liga kengkawan of world cup fantasy league tengah rancak. masing-masing tengah sibuk dengan strategi, taktik dan percaturan tak mau kalah. if i could remember i was in the middle of the table. the same day which saw italy drew with usa resulted from own goal.

in 2 days after last 2 years, the little missy's turning 2.

masih dengan kemeriahan salah satu kejohanan terbesar dunia. lil missy skarang dah pandai cheer. woooaaaaaaa katanya. the hubby skarang nak relax sket lepas sleepless nites rituals dan otak terbeban. liga fantasi walopon ada 3 orang je tapi seronok dan agak rancak juga. italy survived to quarter final. sebenanya i owed myself the jersey sebab aku cakap bebaru ni, kalu lepas then i'll buy myself one. memang cantek dan price pon bapak cantek jugak. alasan alasan

sedar tak sedar 2 tahun dah berlalu. rasa macam semalam kiterang counting days to come.

auguri bambina mia =) love love

ari ni blood pressure/heartache probably/sakit kepala nampaknya inevitable. waktu aku menyuarakan yang sakit kepala aku makin menjadi-jadi bebaru ni, komen the hubby ialah aku mengada-ngada, eleh, saje je.

football ain't an entertainment anymore. only applies to die-hard fan atau konon fan mati-matian. padahal secara nationaliti atau bangsa langsung irrelevant. jadi betul jugakla komen the hubby, penyakit sakit kepala awak ni tak signifikan mahupon relevan langsung. susah nak cakap, aku pon tatau camne sakit tak pasal-pasal ni melanda dengan hebat jugak laa.

to my suprise, my sisters still strongly remembered del piero especially the one who was former roomie. waktu layan bola baru-baru ni,

sis: tu alessandro del piero kan. ada lagi ye?
me : eh kenal?
sis: dah along tampal poster besar-besar tu apa dia..
hubby: ek eleh, geli..
me : huhuhuhu

alaa itu kan cerita waktu budak-budak dulu.

jadi dinner malam ni depends pada progress italia hehehe

aku mostly enjoy watching the game, and sometimes involves dalam heat arguments with the hubby. punya intention nak main futsal, even self-proclaimed cam del piero(sebab aku main kiri dan suka position tu hehehe) tapi tidaklah aktif pon. aku lagi suka manage dari in action. agaknya sebab tu juga cuma main championship manager dari pro-evo dan sewaktu dengannya.

a bit frustrating jugak dengan player selection yang kasi banyak duka dari suka. reasoning dia senang je as i confessed to the hubby, "saya bias". banyak favouritism, bahaya ni as a manager huhuhu. stupid mistake minggu ni (tapi still aku pray for miraculous luck) ialah aku pegi letak 2 players yang main position sama. dem dem

lantaklaa malas nak pike. you guys enjoy the beautiful or the contrary game of futball. seperti world cup once in 4 yrs, begitu juga kejohanan eropah.

aku nerves dan takut tapi still hopeful. forza azzurri e il capitano weheheheheee

italia,italia,italia,italia..

almost certain that we're moving out of uni house.

the contract's gonna end in september and we've been offered a uni house informally few months ago. besar oo, 2 tingkat with 3 bedrooms. frens of ours who live there said that the rental they're paying not more than 600 hundreds. of course we thought it's brilliant.

jadi formal offer pon sampai bebaru ni. beyond our expectation house rental alone went up to 750 per month exluding all the bills. huish tak larat tuu.

the hubby came up with 2 plans.

PLAN A carik rumah in southampton macam biasa. he finishes his study and if we're not going back yet we move to other place later depends on where we gonna work.

PLAN B he suggested that i start looking for permanent job and we'll be moving depends on where i work. miaw miaw

how i miss blogging.

lama tak lama laa kan, itchy gak terasa jari jemari ni nak menaip. nak update cerita pon bole tahan banyak. alhamdulillah maklang, harizah and ipah dah selamat sampai kat klia. seronok je balik, kiterang envy gak tapi nak buat camne, duit tak bape cuns je nak balik lagi tahun ni huhu. aku tau betapa the hubby hopes nak balik bercuti tahun ni..

cerita no 1. macam haram sket, blogspot got blocked at office. aduh, nampaknya source utama aku membuang masa dah makin kurang. dem dem. probably aku mungkin bole lagi update, tapi tak dapat le nak view. tak try pon lagi, masa tade sangat last time.

cerita no 2. nampaknya aku akan lepak sorang je laa since julie resigned last 2 weeks. in the future derang akan hire temp kalau ada release besar-besaran. otherwise sapa lagi tu akan cover, aku le tuu. hal-hal secreterial akan dimanage oleh other sekretari.

cerita jalan-jalan. akan lebih coverage harapnya dalam next entries hehehehe. banyak tempat managed to cover laa this time, clarks village, bath, durdle door, london (wajib nampaknya untuk first timers), portsmouth, brighton, swindon, bicester village, dan tak lupa southampton. walaupon tak jadi nak visit cornwall tapi puas hati dan senang hati jugak dapat bawak rombongan cik kiah ni jalan merata.

sungguh malas untuk masuk opis lepas seminggu lebih off. ingatkan this week dapat laa pergi dalam 1-2 hari tapi alang-alang off terus laa. aku ada cakap kat aja bila dia tanya tape ke aku tak gi keje, "kerja kena pergi hari-hari tapi keluarga datang hanya 10 hari setahun"

top of the list. krisis harga minyak kat mesia. walopon tak mengalami tapi tempiasnya kiterang terasa. aku cuba put ourselves in their shoes, dan aku cuba kira-kira kalu life kat mesia skarang ni. makin sakit agaknya financially. kat mana nak tinggal tu. depan opis? commuting? atau spend je macam biasa? nilai ringgit kita makin kecik dan kecik dan kecik..

ja ne.. more updates to come

tensennya aku semalam kena sakit perut. aku rasa sebabnya ialah cili bihun sup yang aku makan petang semalam lepas balik kerja. tapi yang peliknya the hubby relax katak je, cuma dia ada pegi toilet dan itu memang routine dia lepas makan. aaqilah pon ok je sebab mestilah tade cili dalam mee dia. tak lama lepas tu, aku rasa semacam awal-awal gastrik, ah sudah masuk angin ke. jadi hari ni aku akan berusaha bersungguh untuk to refuse coffee's temptation. angin naik sampai ke kepala tuu..

tapi waktu tengah sakit perut semalam berjaya jugak aku mengabiskan buku citer. lama rasanya since the last book. rasanya nak layan buku citer skarang ni pon kena curi-curi masa yang tak seberapa ada tu. btw, aku tak penah layan sophie kinsella sebelum ni despite the facts yang orang cakap memang bes. dia ni tekenal dengan shopaholics series. tade menda yang serius pasal this particular book, comedy-romantic saje. bahasa pon tak susah nak paham. sebenanya dah lama aku mula baca tapi berapa pages sangatla yang dapat sewaktu tunggu bas. tapi semalam tetiba sampai ke part yang mula nak klimaks dan layan dan layan dan layan. itu pasal laa sakit perut aku tak menghalang untuk terus tersenyum dan syok sendiri hehehehehe

fairytale-like story. cuma hidupnya tidaklah indah dan pada dia disastrous saja. watak lelaki tu mengingatkan aku yang romance sebenanya tidaklah mati. kadang-kadang bila kita dah rasanya tua begini, kita take almost everything too serius. aku rasa aku ni cepat je nak marah-marah dan hangin tak tentu pasal. and i'm pretty sure that each one of us got at least one litle secret dat we keep only to ourselves. do i?

sesuai untuk di masa lapang..

trying to be a hero and caused a little mayhem as a result. more headache je.

this morning the assigned person came to see me. namanya stephen. takut jugak aku because i knew i did something major.

he's doing his stuffs. i was eyeing him doing his stuffs. orang besalah kan. until this one part when he checked one path and noticed something funny about it.

s: who did this?
h: err i did
s: why?
h: err bla bla bla

aku ingat kata-kata terakhir "never ever do that"

=(

aku got headache, now i'm giving to other people as well

kebanyakan musim sudah habis atau dah nak abis dah. serie a, epl, bundesliga, dan lain-lain dah pon berakhir. spanish league aku tak bape sure sangat plak, dah jugak kut, lagipon euro 2008 akan bermula in 3 weeks time. satu demam akan melanda.

nba playoff pon nak masuk final round dah. game tidak lagi every nights kan bby. nampaknya french open tahun kena kena compete sket dgn euro, tapi depends pada player jugak. kalu the battle of nadal-federer aku rasa tetap dapat coverage yang meluas. adakah nadal akan dapat retain the title, atau federer akhirnya dapat conquer claycourt?

kenapa aku ni gila sport. dulu lagi gila kut, lately dah slow down sebab ada banyak lagi menda lain menuntut priority. time budak-budak tade pike menda lain sangat kan. sekolah dan sports. sports dan sekolah. aku penah citer, dulu waktu sekolah sangat bercita-cita untuk menjadi tennis player. lepas tu berangan nak jadi engineer sukan permotoran plak jadi bole lepak dengan valentino rossi. atau sports photographer jadi bole amik gamba footballers in actions muahahahaa. nampaknya tade satu pon yang jadi. parents pernah menyatakan kerisauan a bit, kata mereka how come the girl yang lebih layan sports especially bola dan sukan bermotor more than the brothers.

the hubby has this dream to develop kids interest particularly boys into basketball. aku tadela harapkan apa sangat, cuma berangan gak nak anta aaqilah to tennis training from early age. bukannya apa, sukan baik untuk kesihatan. lagipon bole prevent dari aktiviti yang tak berfaedah, harapnya. lagipon nampak aaqilah ni kemain aktif hehehe (nampak sangat anak-anak penyambung minat tak sampai maa ayah)

last nite for the first time ever aku layan brokeback mountain. i've been warned before that some scenes i might find disturbing, thanks for that. memang betul aku tak sanggup tengok, in fact i had to flip channels so that aaqilah won't see it too. nampaknya kena citer di lain entry kut, a few things to ponder.

ni le yang aku benci bila layan citer sebegini, aku akan termimpi-mimpi dan teringat-ingat. go away ennis del mar, far far away *shucks*

Aiseh baru je beli tepon lagi sebab the last one rosak bebaru ni. Apparently aaqilahnya saliva ni sangat menakutkan. 2 henpon aku tewas huhuhu ada citer sini

konon la konon ari tu ingat malas sangat commit dengan kontrak. dahle kalu nak buat 12 bulan, obviously mahal dari 18 months kontrak. tapi aku malas nak amik risiko 18 bulan tu, sebab plan nak terus stay sini after the hubby grad masih dalam plan. lepas tu plak sangatla susah mencari offer tebaek dengan current network aku. sangat malas nak tuka no sebenanya. memang le latest tepon sekarang ni canggih-canggih tapi tade yang awe pada first glimpse, jadi aku becadang nak carik tepon minimum je. itu laa sebabnya aku beli tepon second hand kat ebay beberapa bulan lepas, yang the hubby skarang gelak-gelakkan aku balik. sebabnya bole dapat tepon baru yang minimum. ruginya laa waktu tu. kalu sambung je kontrak bole habis dah awal tahun depan.

tapi nak jadi cerita laa kan, aku terbekenan kat satu ni sewaktu masuk klua kedai henpon. sebenanya itu hari lagi aku dah berkenan sebab nampak ada satu minah ni tengah gayut, tapi aku tatau hp apa.

setelah bertahun-tahun setia pada sony ericson kiterang merumuskan durability ada kurang sket compared to others. selain software yang bole tahan slow, battery life in terms of long period isn't that reassuring. ni pon yang buat aku tensen pasal bateri le. faktor aaqilah suka hisap kat plug in power tu lagi laa tolong problem.

tapi kan, tepon yang aku beli tu pon sony gak hehehehehe

kronologinya -> moto s.e s.e s.e s.e s.e s.e

bila banyak sangat gelak bole rasa lelah plak. mengah pon ada.

bespren the hubby (platinum membership) came to visit us, with the ichi-ban no intention the outlet where camper is. bole plak derang ni komplen, kat uk ada 1 je, kat spain ada 5. aku rasa kalu kat spain mau 5-5 tu derang belasah. yang satu ni pon dah spent half day. aaqilah dari seronok berlari-lari dah nampak moody. aku lagi laa, lagi cakap nak tambah lagi naik laa hangin hehehehe. first round dah bebapa beg, gatal-gatal nak cek out kalu ada kasut baru. alamatnya tambah bag lagi la. itupon siap berkempen suh aku beli,me got one actually hehehe. sebab aku rasa aku selalu buat muka bila dia naik gile dengan kasut nak-nak camper, jadi keseronokan dia tu terbatas. tapi bila ada geng u must be crazy, nampaknya aku akan terus saksikan sampai laa episod i used to be crazy yang ntah bila.

kalu nak dibebelkan memang takkan habis. silap-silap nanti dia panggil aku mak joyah. aku cuma harap the hubby akan happy dan bersemangat nak buat kerja-kerja dia. aku paham dia rasa tensen, penat, fedup, dahle kena jadi babysitter part time lagi, jadi ini je la yang dapat aku return all the hardworks. shoe-shopping diharap dapat boost semangat dan motivate untuk terus kerja keras.

sewa kereta = $$$
minyak = $$$
kasutss = $$$
happiness di muka mereka = priceless
