there she goes

it's been a while.

saturday

all of a sudden my recent weekend has become quite hectic after a long dormant periods. a last minute substitution wasn't that bad. now i know how it's possible to design your polka dot apam the way you like, just be creative. to think out of the box and you may get unexpected results. ladybug is achievable and very cutesy, seriously.

kek gula hangus is quite easy, plus i've learned the right techniques and good tips.

for no apparent reason,
take me back to 2007

Five 8's to practice:

1. stop eating when 80% full
2. eat dinner before 8pm
3. drink 8 glasses of water a day
4. get 8 hours of sleep
5. take 8,000 steps a day

alamak, berita yang tak berapa memberansangkan.

fyi, aaqilah turns 6 this year. oh, anak dara aku nak masuk 6 tahun dah rupanya. ceritanya pasal standard 1 registration.

last year sewaktu orang sibuk register anak masing-masing sekolah untuk sesi 2012/2013, kiterang dengan selambanya buat tak berapa reti saja. oklah, aku sikit lagi nak daftarkan aaqilah kat cbn, tapi memikirkan long term yang aku tak tau nak stay at gltm ke tak membuatkan aku contemplating tak habis-habis. sedar-sedar je tarikh daftar yang expired.

kiterang rasa, takpe towards next year (2012 la) kiterang akan mendapat petunjuk sekolah mana, sebab at that time ada kemungkinan nak pindah rumah. 2-3 bulan lepas aku pun mulalah mencari sekolah balik, cuba-cuba untuk cari dekat dengan um plak, since probability ayah dia kat um adalah lagi tinggi dari aku kat masjid jamek. what i discovered was there's a few very good schools quite close to um. awesomeness!!

akhirnya setelah berjaya menconvincekan oh untuk hantar aaqilah ke sekolah dekat dengan um, o.h pun suruh aku register. tapi aku ingatkan kenalah tunggu sampai registration opens for this year, ye tak.

tapi hari ni sewaktu dia pick up kat stesen star, o.h delivered the not so good news. katanya sekolah tu dah penuh. alamaaak. kita boleh try, ada rezeki ada katanya. tapi kena cari backup schools untuk aaqilah.

backupnya aku takde lagi, sebab aku berharap jugaklah huhuhu.. kita doakan ye semoga dapat tempat untuk cik aaqilah, amin..

shocking pink. one of the cupsters' project.

i know we're not that active. but if you'd like to know us better, just pop an email or give us a ping.

bigger and even better this year, ameen

good night. sweet dreams. sleep tight.

ours is a second hand malm which came along with sultan mattress (florvag) we bought on ebay when we first moved out of university's flat. the pickup journey was really tiring and heavy. at the first sight eventhough the mattress seems not thick enough, but it felt really comfortable, seriously.

the simpleness of malm's design is something that i admire. still using it, very happy and not intended to replace anytime soon.

recently we bought a mattress pad for the extra comfort, aaaa.. it costs you at rm149 but you'll find that it's getting harder to wake up the next morning =)

now i wish to get a bedroom makeover this year ;)

kaya dulu

ok, kali ni entri yang aku malas nak fikir dan simply type saja. is that possible?

dengan tak semena-mena aku cuba untuk ada entri just before 2012, tapi sebab layan tv dan budak-budak manja ni, tak sempat. dapatla 12.00 am on the dot. tak dapatlah date 31.12.2011. that's fine. sebab aku fikir aku akan the next 24 hours untuk coming up with a new entry serba semangat on the 1st jan. haha nil too

2011, nothing much happened. wasn's as tough and challenging as 2010, but picked up really slow. tatau camne nak cakap, but i sense something better this year? ameen and insyaAllah =)

o.h masih kuat semangat mengejar cita-cita baru as a pro golfer. aku masih lagi rasa stuck. sungguh tak best. stuck tang mana, mengapa, kenapa, pasal apa? aku pun stuck dengan jawapan yang still beneath surface. simply because, aku kurang bersyukur dengan kehidupan yang serba ada ni. whining, bitching and complaining, all the time. jadi, all the negativities only make you feel like sh7t.

tahun baru islam masih tak sampai 2 bulan. dengan kedatangan tahun baru 2012 ni, semoga semangat berkobar-kobar yang datang ni lebih membuatkan tak lupa pada the old hasniza. when she's 12, 15, or 21. probably the carefree 25. ok itu sekadar umur. kesimpulannya, di manakah hasniza yang ambitious, driven dan penuh daya imaginasi tinggi itu?

1st, bersyukur dari hati yang ikhlas dan humble, di atas segala nikmat dan apa yang kita ada sehingga kini. o.h the husband, the man and the best friend. a.a.i and n.a.a. syukur alhamdulillah kerana mak semakin kuat dan sihat, syukur untuk kesihatan yang terbaik dan keluarga besar tersayang. kesihatan yang baik, that's priceless. jadi mari kita teruskan dengan kesyukuran ini insyaAllah.

aku pernah terbaca somewhere,  apa yang Allah tunaikan untuk kita kerana Dia maha mengetahui apa yang terbaik untuk kita walaupun kita fikirkan/mahukan sebaliknya. mungkin kita tak sedar sekarang, kan. bila difikir-fikir balik, alhamdulillah apa yang aku pernah niat, hajat dan doakan, somehow granted, walaupun dalam keadaan sengaja dan tak sengaja.

alhamdulillah..

I ended 2011, not with a bang but quite a letdown. uuuu

how can i forget about this? we emerged as the champion =), both men and women teams won gold at our first participation. gila!!

i discovered that i am apparently, quite a good digger hahaha

Alan:  I'm Alan Liebowitz: stage 3 lymphoma. Pleased to meet you.
Mitch: Mitch Horowitz, metastatic prostate cancer.
Adam: Adam Lerner, schwannoma neurofibrosarcomas

I watched it at last.

one of his best from j.g.l.

nice ost too. there's a high and dry from radiohead, at the closing scene a nice one from pearl jam.

you know you have a cancer and the feeling, but until it hit you that eventually makes you realize that you might die soon.

Based on a true story of a man who was diagnosed with schwannoma neurofibrosarcomas or in a simpler term, a spinal cancer in the middle of his 20s.

if you're into joseph gordon levitt, love love love this movie. if you like something cool, love love love. but if you aren't really for 'banyak cakap' kinda movie, i hope you'll enjoy it too for the sake of a very good movie.

the power of blogging

an event which held at kementerian perumahan dan kerajaan tempatan, putrajaya was such a simple one. mainly i attended to support my good friend's event (she's the chairperson), but the event itself was successful, personally i thought.

the 2 invited speakers are en shahabudeen jalil, a wholesale business consultant and pn suraya of lunatots ( i am more familiar with her when i heard of lunatots). maybe it's because i myself a working mom so i strongly felt that the latter is much more relatable. Her spirits and motivations in running her business and managing her kids impress me a lot. whenever i heard or read about moms who work really hard for the best of their kids, i kinda feel a pang inside. shame on you, hasniza =|

useful and helpful, particularly to bloggers in the making and beginners. like myself, it's more on the knowledge sharing and an exposure to cupsters. a good one i hope ;)

a comel cupsters's chocolate cake sponsored by yours truly.

Intentionally my next destination after putrajaya was tasik titiwangsa.

if you're not really familiar with putrajaya ringroads and puzzle about getting to other places from putrajaya, just drive by following KUALA LUMPUR signage (it's a basic knowledge right). as in my case, i was going to kl and got oddly confused with the blue and green KUALA LUMPUR  signage. all i wanted was to get to mex with no hassles.

so, if you're having the same issue as i was yesterday in finding your way to mex, just follow the green KUALA LUMPUR. if it says KUALA LUMPUR - PLUS, i can assure that you're taking the right exits. what i wasn't sure was how far it took me from precint 4 to the mex exit.

only when you do it on your own that makes you value the hardship of driving.

p/s: the power of blogging - what about that? i'll post soon aight =)

things i plan to do during my break (as planned before) :

4. himym and big bang theory's catching up

7. spa visit by voucher
8. swimming
9. ramadan make up days

dengan niat berjalan ke waterpark, tapi kita detour ke kuala kangsar dulu.

aku rasa o.h dah lama mengidam ni, dia kata the last time he had the wantanho was back in 1997. macam kuetiaw kungfu je aku tengok ;)

the first time aku merasa pau ni dalam 2 tahun lepas kut, lepas kiterang frust due to hal uk. umpama satu legend, memang sedap. lembut dan gebu, inti tak kedekut ye. ayam sedap, daging pon sedap, kaya buatan sendiri. itu jelah yang aku merasa..

the famous yut loi's pau

nak mencari makan sedap kat ipoh takdelah sesenang yang disangka. aku pernah dengar pasal nasi ganja, pon cerita dari kawan-kawan o.h gak. aku ingatkan apalah kan, rupa ada macam nasi kandar, tapi dengarnya pembuatan special. sedap oo, portion is just right, kenyang sampai ke malam.

kedai kopi yun suan loong, ipoh


































misi masih belum berakhir. belum jumpa lagi tempat breakfast yang legen.. wait for it, dary.. legendary =)

Robin: I'm such a mess. Why do you even like me?
Barney: I guess cause you're almost as messed up as I am.

demam..

this song was featured at the end of disaster averted, it felt right, no.

Last time was such a heaven experience, am i a bit exaggerating here but it was a nearly miraculous when i saw the tag price at the back of books. more expensive than carboot sale in uk, almost the same as charity shops sell but new books always smell better.

ok, got an email that there'll be another sale, which they call it aftermath sale.  i can't guarantee that books will be super awesome but where can you get one at rm5, right. anyway, books will always be super awesome.

go get yourselves more books ;)

song of these 2 days.

Stumbled upon this while looking back at old photos. Still the similar fashion she had since i could remember, straight, bit messy.

if i could ask her now, she just smiles and vaguely nearly to none remember anything about this.

i guess her living experience during those time wasn't yet registered in her long-term memory storage. but we do =)

in addition to these 2 events, we were cordially invited to a housewarming party in setapak, a celebrated birthday party in putrajaya and of course my dearest's cotton tea party in kepong.

wow.. u people know how to keep me busy all at once

very big grin
