December oh..December

Its been awhile since I last blog. Suddenly..its already December!Gosh..how time flies.

Have been busy with the kick-off meeting for the project. Been here and there between Serdang and Menara..At least I can breathe easily now...and just follow the planned scheduled..

Last week attended the course of 7 Habits of Effective People..am I now an effective person?? Hehe..hopefully we'll see it in 6 weeks time..chewah..so semangat one..

A few more days to me and hubs wedding anniversary..and its gonna be 5 years..! And for this year's target project-- is finally taking off and hopefully kicking healthily in my tummy. :)

A new journey...

To Motherhood!

Yes..I'm baking a bun now..literally speaking. Alhamdullilah its been 9 weeks long now!

So far, I'm doing great. No morning sickness (just a bit nausea and wind) but cannot run away from fatigue and panting..huhuhu..the way I speak now as if I've just ran a marathon.

Hopefully everything would be smooth sailing journey until the b-day! I'm enjoying myself due to being a 'princess' now..no carrying heavy things..no-that..no-this..hehehe..

Not at Home...Alone

Hubby left home for LA last Saturday..

I'm not staying at our home..been camping at aunt's house nearby. Thus 'Not at Home'.

But I still feel lonely..I miss him terribly!!

Managed to chat with him over Skype just now..hehehe..he already bought 2 handbags from C**ch..for me..yeppedu..! So what else for me dear???

Countdown to the day he'll be back ..11 days..(lamanya)..

Sleeping Angels......

My niece and nephew

Its kakak Alysa with little brother Azeem..how cute can they be? I love watching these two muchkins sleeping....so calm and peaceful,huh? The Kakak being protective over her little bro.

But don't expect the same when they are awake!
Kakak is in the state of 'terrible three', not two..hehehe..very talkative yet sensitive..very 'kuat merajuk' one, like to dressed up ( being jangok)..and the list continues.
While adik, the more quiet fella..is terribly active! He will only stop moving while sleeping..if not you can expect him to climb on you, crawling every where..picking on every items that he can found on the floor..yada..yada..

How I miss them!

I'll be alone...

Hubby will be leaving for US this coming Saturday..

For two weeks..

Will not follow him though..

But I expected many2 goodies from him!

Back to Work

Started working yesterday after a long raya hols...

This year's raya was ok..done a lot of travelling..going back and forth between BB Bangi, Seremban, Muar, Sabak Bernam, Tampin and JB..all southern part mostly.

Also a lot of eating!! That's for sure. I wonder how my weight now..grrr...that's why I started fasting yesterday.

Okla..nothing much to write..only a few pictures for eye candy..


Raya pic with hubby at his hometown.
Green theme.






With the ever cheeky niece Alysa.
Its so hard to get her posing properly nowadays!
By the way, its Alysa's mommy birthday today..Happy Birthday dear sis!

Eid Mubarak 1428 preparation

Another 4 days of fasting and then its the end of Ramadhan and Syawal awaits us...kind sad la jugak.

The last weekend of Ramadan was spent well..in terms of monetary..hahaha..! As usual during festive season, you have to fork out your savings ! I'm a few hundreds or maybe thousand? ringgit poorer..but its ok..its all in the budget..

So finally, bought hubby some shirts, t-shirts and pants for raya at Sogo. Also bought shirts for both abah..settled!The crowd last week at Sogo was terrible I tell you. Luckily we were early in, early out..by noon we were already out of the parking lot.

Then yesterday was the day of raya munchies arrival-->Cakes and cookies! Also settled with the payment! Hubby also has changed the raya notes..And as for myself, I bought some new brooches..(nak jugak).

In all, everything in the checklist was almost done. Last nite I already started some packing on the clothes part! One big luggage and counting..(ni dlm gaya takda anak..beg dah penuh!)

In case this is the last post before raya, I would like to wish all of you:

Have a safe journey and drive carefully!

It's Friday

Wow amazing how time passes by..its already Friday!

So this coming weekend would be the last weekend for Ramadan. Next weekend is already Hari Raya!

Tomorrow, I'll be having my facial here.Need to look best for raya..hehehe..My last appointment dated back last three months! Aiyork..so lazy one..Then plan to shop for hubby's shirt for raya...And for iftar, off to Mak Lang's house..yeay!

As for raya preparation, its all about the same as last few years..a few baju kurungs for me..baju melayu for hubs ( he decided to wear last year's baju melayu). Then some cookies and cakes for both mothers. I will start my raya hols on Thursday. So what else?..Ok these are among the list:-

• Change raya notes
• Top up Touch N Go
• Packing!!
  

On much happier note, I'll be having my convocation this coming November! Yess!! I see more ringgit coming in..hahahaha

New Specs

Hubby bought me this new specs..so in a way i got my raya Specs..!!



I have been wearing specs since after SPM..
Since then there has been a few specs that has been honoured to reside on me nose and eyes..hehehe

First: Esprit frame: Half frame..when i think back..its kinda granny specs
Second: Frameless: To scrap the granny image la kununnya..so I opted for frameless specs..but the life of this specs was short-lifted..I'm too reckless maybe..always bengkok2..
Third : Full frame..brand cannot remember. This is so far the longest frame I've ever used. Its light, flexible and its pink!hahaha..
Fourth : Tada..Bonia frame..with intricate leaves images..chewah..makes me look younger..hahaha..perasan..more over its from hubby!

So that's about my chronicle of spectacles..Some may wonder why not used lenses? Well..i've been contemplating on that for so long..maybe i'll try it after this..

Ke mana pun langkahku pergi
Ku masih melihat bayanganmu cintaku
Dan kemana pun arah anginku berlari
Hati ini masih kau miliki

Lelaki ini yang selalu mencintamu
Selalu, tanpa ragu
Lelaki ini yang selalu memuja
Hanya dirimu
Yang bertakhta dalam sanubariku

Aku yang mencintakan mu
Hanya dirimu…

Karena cintaku, tak berbatas waktu
Karena cintaku, tak mengenal jenuh hatimu
Hatimu…

Post Merdeka Hols

The 3 + 1 days weekend was spent mostly with families..

Nothing grand or whatsoever..on Thursday, hubby and me went back to Seremban..thankfully the traffic was okay.

On Friday, went back to Muar,hubby's hometown. Had a kenduri at his grandma's house that nite..the food was yummy..we had nasi putih with asam pedas ayam, ikan kering , ulam2 and sambal belacan..

As expected, the traffic on Sunday was terrible..the jam starts from Ayer Keroh..and thus we decided to go on federal road to avoid those traffic. But the traffic started to slow when it came to Rembau...and I had miss to meet both my little muchkins..Alysa and Azeem as they also had to make move towards Shah Alam...sedey...

Monday was spent by just lazing around..hehehe..and today started working again..

50th Merdeka!

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Happy Merdeka Day to all Malaysians.

I'll be going back to hubby's hometown in Muar. Hopefully the journey will go be smooth and breezy...as if..! There will definitely be traffic jam on PLUS highway..I hate it!

Maybe its time for PLUS to make double decker highway??

Scrapbooking revisited...

While waiting for hubby to fetch me from the office, it is usually my time to browse and bloghopping...and that's where I came across digital scrapbooking. It seems to be the 'in' thing nowadays..i dunno if I'm somewhat late to acknowledge these kind of things.

BTW, I remembered when I was in TKC scrapbooking is some would say the culture that we used to. Usually the fifth formers (those who are leaving school lah kan..) would pass around scrapbook / scrap pages to dormmates/tablemate/classmate/starters/CS/BS etc...
At that time the source was limited to colored papers, magazines cut outs and of course yr printed photos. Its fun though! Neways, now we even have shops that sell scrapboking stuffs..papers, embellishments (yeah baru tau the term they call all those tiny2 accesories)...I know i'm kinda out of date..btw its called Papier.

Okla..since I dun have the budget and too lazy to print out photos from my digi cam, I'll just resort to digital scrapbooking which is totally cool..becoz they have freebies! Heheh now I have to godek2 which photos that can be made into scrap page..and that scrap is the one for my lovely niece..

Blog's Revamp..

Made some changes to the layout, add some banner...

Will come back later with some postings..a lot to write but its all jumble up..

But just a quickie..

1- Finished my Masters at last!! Am now looking forward to the convocation day..but its still a long way..haiyooo..
2- Went for Umrah at the end of June..(sigh..I miss going there). Well its true though, you can never forget the first time you see the Kaabah..exhilarated and yet you get all mushy insides that makes you want to cry.

I'm still in holiday mood although its already Tuesday..<> . Our short trip to Penang was an okay one...although the weather in Penang was quite hot..!

Managed to have a blast time especially during meal time! Hehehe..had seafood..room service food , nasi kandar...etc..haven't weigh myself yet so far..but short of one thing..char keuy teow!!...tak sempat lorrr..emm..what else yah..ooh..yup..a visit to TOY MUSEUM..yess you heard me-->its hubby's idea..they have a large collection of toys from Barbie, Star Wars, LOTR, He-Man, Batman, Spiderman,Disney Movies, Ants, even Chucky and Freddie Kruger..etc..will post up pics later. Ohh yea..we even get lost in Penang..hilarious huh???

Then..headed to Kulim for a short visit to Tok & Tokwan's crib..again its hot! Definitely this El-Nino thingy is slowly taking place..

Emm..next place to visit?? Any idea?..I was thinking someplace where where I shop till I drop..!
