Twenty second.

Alhamdullilah I reached 22 this year. Thank you to all wishes; via messages, via calls, and via facebook. Do you know what is the symptom for birthday wishes?

While that night, I got my 1st birthday present - from beloved gay one. She knows me a lot, she knows what I like, and I really love that blue plushie - looks like onion. But she didn't wish me. HA HA HA. She came to complete her resume for job interview. Maybe I should request MARA to give her more scholarship to study abroad, then I can increase my foreign gift collections. LOL. If only that easy xD

The same day, I'm on my journey to see my newborn nephew - Muhammad Aisy Fayyad bin Mirdza whom was born at 1st November. (01/11/11) Pretty cool date baby, but why didn't you wait the next day so that we can celebrate birthday together every year? :/

Wonderful life circle

About 13 years ago, my weekend activity was staying in front of TV, watching cartoons. I woke up early at 8 (I used to sleep after Subuh prayer), waiting for Mama to return from wet market, and asked what she bought for me. When she arrived home, she usually said;

Mama : Adik, pergi mandi.
I : Nanti la Mama. Tunggu kartun ni habis dulu.
Mama : Kartun tu memang takkan habis kalau awak tunggu...

Eventually, I took bath at 12 noon. After all cartoons finished.

Previous week, I was at Abang Long's house in the morning, and Kak Reeny asked me to take Adam,  my 4-year-old nephew to take bath.

Pic: when Adam was 1 year old.

I : Adam, mandi sekarang.
Adam : Nanti kejap la Cuwawa...

I : Nanti bila lagi Adam?

Adam : Tunggu la Mickey ni habis dulu...

I : Mickey tu memang tak pernah habis kalau Adam tunggu...

After a second I said this to Adam, suddenly I chuckled myself. It's truly same as what Mama used to say to me. Seems that all kids are the same, or it's because of genetic. It's me resembles to Mama or it's Adam who resembles to me? If Adam behaves like that, probably Abang Long was same as me back then. One day, when I have my own children, I wonder if they'd behave like us. But that's not a big matter, each moment in your life is wonderful when you know it's meant to be appreciated.  (another new wisdom word from me ha3)

Selamat Menyambut Hari Malaysia

Dear all Malaysians, Selamat menyambut Hari Malaysia.

 Behind the scene:

It was on previous 1st Syawal, Ayah was carrying Aiden and asked me to snap their photo. Suddenly Aiden pointed to the sky and said "bird". But in the poster Aiden already looks like Dato' Seri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak saying "1 Malaysia" :)

2011 Eid al Fitr

Happy Eid to all Muslims around the world.
As usual, apology from me.

A phrase from holy Al Quran stated:
"Dan hendaklah mereka memaafkan dan melupakan kesalahan orang-orang itu,

tidakkah kamu suka Allah mengampukan dosa kamu?"
(Surah An Nur : Ayat 22)

This year, Kakak bought 2 domestic breed cats.
My, I used to be afraid of cat, but no more!
Yey it's Robin and Terry! C:

Incomplete family.
This year Abang Cik and Abang Long were missing.
But Edy joined us. Welcome bro :)
And why the heck I was holding Robin?
He's our new family ha3.

Eat eat eat till you becoming chubby. 

Nay, just sitting outside the house to chat.

1st house we visited: Atok Busu (Mama's aunt)
Her granddaughter also brought her cat to hometown - Persian breed.

Kakak, me and Edy were like kids watching the passive cat. ha3

Went to Ayah's hometown in Muar, Abang Long arrived.
Typical Adam - loves camera a lot.
Typical Aiden - prefers mind his own business.

Visiting secondary mates around Yong Peng. It's been 4 years! :)

Festival fireworks celebration! Bring it on!

Where did we get this prohibited stuff?

It's from Mama's cousin, Dato' A***

It suppose to be 130++ shoot, but according to Ayah's count, it's 102. 

Some of 'em came out at the same time.

Last day: Abang Long's family photoshoot. LOL
They didn't make it in morning Eid. 

Typical Aiden again - he kept moving like caterpillar.

He once called me "Ayah" started upgrading it to "ami" (mommy).

p/s: credit to Ain, Edy and Kakak for the photos.

We're alike

Again I went back to Puchong purposely to see the kids. Actually I planned to take the chocolates from Kak Reeny, but since Aiden was having high fever whole week, she couldn't start making 'em. So, I'll disturb all of 'em again next weekend ho3. (Photo: Adam has no eye problem, he just trying my glasses and complained it made him dizzy).

After breaking fast, we went to Avenue Puchong (home furnishings showroom).

Curious toddler. Aiden was still active though he's unwell.

It's quite cuddle watching him acting like he's in real bedroom.

I can't stop Adam. He's a good actor in front of the lens. 

I wonder what point he's posing like the mummy.

OMG. He's everywhere!

And when it came the turn I asked him to take my photo, this is the result.
I : Kenapa gambar tak nampak?
Adam: Adam rasa nak kencing, tak bole amik gambarlah!

Hahahahahahah!!!!!

Funny excuse, nephew.

Finally. Yes, with him of course.

Lots of  Disney bed and study table sets in Avenue. Absolutely Adam was requesting Mickey's set. If I were 4 years old like him, I'd do the same thing. Because it reminds me back then I was 9 or 10, I saw Mickey designed bed, I asked Ayah to own it, and he refused. Cuz no more space in my bedroom to place it. :)

Nothing is wrong when it is truly right

It's been 3 weeks straight I went back to see my family. 2 weekends in Puchong, this weekend in Yong Peng. I don't feel enjoy living in the hostel during weekend, most friends are always going back home as well. It's been 2 weeks I haven't seen my parents. At the first place, to be honest, knowing that Kakak asked me to join her going back to Yong Peng, I felt like so freaking soulless since I knew I'd need to take the train (which I truly dislike) to return back to Lipis.  Mama and Ayah always discouraged me if I wanted to visit Yong Peng during weekend. They'd rather see me at Puchong (usually for family gathering). But for this time, they seemed fine with my decision.

Stopping for a while in Puchong:

Abang has just bought another iPad. Adam asked me to play with the camera with him and Aiden. He's truly drama king in the photo. And I keep trying to get Aiden's smile :D

All kinds of the distortion are always being Adam's favourite thing to do with Apple products. We laughed like we're the only persons existed. And I guess Abang quite annoyed with us. Yey! Indeed I love playing with my nephews. They're funny.

Just for a while playing in Abang's house, Kakak came to fetch me - we're going back to Yong Peng. Arrived at about 1.00++ am, the first thing I asked mama as I entered my house was, "Mama, Crocs mana?"

I purchased the Crocs (mine, Mama, Kakak and Ina) since previous April, however ordering from USA doesn't provide the delivery outside USA and Canada. And certain models are not available in Malaysia. So I placed the order to be sent at Yah's house at Nashville and as she returned to Malaysia, all her stuffs including mine were delivered by cargo. Thus, Mama teased, "Sanggup balik rumah sekejap ni sebab nak amik Crocs kan...". I just laughed. Actually the Crocs was the second reason. The main reason was I just felt like I wanted to see my parents. 

What so good visiting my parents? I bet I would be regret if I didn't go back. Mama was actually having fever (which is so rarely happen to her) while Ayah is just suffering at his swollen left leg. I've forgotten what is the disease name, something infected from the skin, not nerve or muscle. Though I'm not one whom can cure their illness, at least when Kakak and I at home, we helped 'em doing housing chores for 2 days. I pray, hoping  that Mama and Ayah will get well soon and will always be protected and blessed by Allah. ^_^  

Weekend with family

2 observations previous week didn't give me good smile. I don't want to talk more about it, well I'm still okay. As result, a ran away. Actually not that serious, I just suddenly craving to eat at Sushi King when Kakak asked me about her member card. Plus, I missed Aiden a lot, and I want to see Adam as well. 

Kakak wanted me to take KTM from TBS to Kajang, which I've never done that - and I always say I NEVER take KTM at any cost. One lucky thing was, Amal, one of my batch mate was going back to Kajang as well - thanks to her dad for fetching us at LRT Sungai Besi and dropped me at Metropoint Kajang. He dropped me exactly in front of Starbucks Coffee (SC) - he suggested me to taste some cakes while waiting for Kakak. Actually I wanna go to Secret Recipe (SR) - thinking about greentea cheesecake that I badly wanna try since previous February! Since I didn't see the SR around, I went to Baskin Robbins (BR) and had 3 scoops of ice cream.

*sobs* Good girl was having her ice-cream alone.

3 fav flavours: Choc mint, almond mocha, blackforest c:

Until the last drop, Kakak hadn't shown up.

I was so grrr.... and I felt like turning my back and she's there. =.="

Looked like she's disappointed that I finished the ice cream already hahahah~

*and when I walked leaving BR, I found out the SR is actually beside SC*

*feel like struck by lightning*

It's dinner time! 

Nyaha! I was soooo delighted!!!
Last time I went to Sushi King was around May or June last year!

Kyaaaa~ sushi wa daisuki! >.<

Small saucer: the disappointing takoyaki - I'd rather choose Jusco's.

Bowl: rice with scrambled egg and BBQ sausages + lettuce and mayonnaise.

I badly craving the squid-formed sausages since I watched it in Inusyasha at 2003! :D

Kakak said don't order weird food just because it looks cute - but who think I'd listen?

Going to Kakak's house, I found she bought many DVDs and I want to watch Green Lantern (cuz it's starred by Ryan Reynolds) but Kakak said the movie was sucks. She pestered me to watch Harry Potter 7 Part 1 since she booked the Part 2 ticket for Saturday. (4 seats for us + Adam & Aiden). She said I must watch part 1 first or else I'd keep wondering the plots. Really great weekend night, we watched Sucker Punch as well (and this is truly a horrible movie!)

We took Adam on Saturday at his granny's house (without Aiden cuz Abang Long didn't let Aiden joined us). During the movie, Adam with his quite loud voice tone keep asking us "Eh? Kenapa telinga dia tajam, gigi dia tajam, hidung dia tajam?? Dia toyol ke, Cuwawa???" (referred to the elf). "Kenapa orang botak yang takde hidung tu kepala dia macam nak pecah?" (referred to Voldermort's head with clear veins). Well, he's smart actually. We told him to low down his voice for anything he's asking. But since it's my 4-year-old Adam, he whispered like normal talk. LOL. After about an hour, he slept on my lap. No wonder why he acted so awkwardly. 2.00++pm is Adam's sleeping time, we should've more alert about it. Plus, Harry Potter is our childhood movie, not Adam's, no wonder he didn't enjoy it. But I felt he's acting very cute and adorable. ^_^

Sending Adam back to his granny's house, I met Kak Reeny and Aiden, they're from Pudu. Less than 30 minutes to see Aiden. *sobs*. Looked like Aiden was excited seeing me. When I carried him, he was uttering many words to me. His vocabulary has increased. I love playing with infant that just begin to talk, it feels like playing with Talking Tom in iPhone. Ha3!!!

Bongek.

(photo from google)

No, I'm not cursing, don't get wrong idea please. Previous Saturday I attended Edy & Ain's wedding. Bongek is Edy's hometown, located in Negeri Sembilan. Again I say, it's a LOCATION, not a curse ha3.

Friday

As usual, my journey started from Kuala Lipis (alone) and while waiting Abang Long to fetch me at Times Square, I did shopping alone he3. Not much shopped - just Elianto to purchase BB cream, Bread Story to purchase lots lots lots of breads and IT Centre for Abang's iPad's screen protector. Actually I wish to drop by at Watson but Abang already called me to hurry up since it's almost raining out there.

Saturday

My two handsome devils (no, watch their shirt) - of course I was one be their guardian in the car (=.=)"

Why I'm so good be their car's guardian? Cuz Adam will surely sleep on my lap. No matter how naughty are you, you still an adorable kid, Adam. ^_^

Aiden the shorty curly curly perm kiddie refused to follow anyone except my Ayah, and Aiden calls everyone as "Ayah" including me, his Mommy, strangers, etc. The one he calls correctly is Tok Ayah, Abang (Adam), Ayah (my Abang Long).

I sat at the VVIP seat - which suppose to be Mama's place (it's okay, my face resembles to Mama already, who'd recognize I'm not her? He3), and it's my 2nd round meal. (Actually it was at last minute I need to replace Mama suddenly). People mostly targeted the prawns, but me - seafood? Huh~ bye2... (x.x)

Just a single random vain. LOL.

Meet Atin (Ain's sis) - Atin used to be called as "my twin" and "my best friend" before I went to college. Ha3 it's just me whom so friendly with kid. Atin is 13 already now. (Now she's getting darker like me ho3)

Abang Long is an amazing driver. He can sleep anywhere!

Finally! Photo of my family with Ain + Edy. Welcome to our tree, Edy. Ha3

Bye Ain, bye Edy, bye BONGEK!! Nyahahahaha!!! I didn't know the existence of Bongek until I met Edy. It was a time I joked to Ain "Bongek la ko! Ha3" and Ain said to low down my tone with bongek word and suddenly Edy said "Wei bongek bongek jangan sebut. Kampung aku la!" *chuckled*

Thanks a lot to Edy's family. They're great! Kampung Bongek's scenery is so beautiful with fresh environment! I hope to visit there again later c:

Would you marry me if I could be very handsome

A step to my hometown, to attend Ain's wedding.

From Lipis to Puchong:

Meeting him is MANDATORY.

Kiddie you're so adorable! 

I knew you just wanted to play with the kitty-face bread.

From Puchong to Yong Peng with Abang Ngah and Kak Anis, I was "zzz..." in the car and arrived at home at very very very sleepy hour. My appearance at hometown was a surprised for Ain's family - since I said I couldn't to attend her wedding due my packed schedule. 

Ain is my cousin, we went to the same school since Primary 4 to Form 5 - for  8 years. She's my closest cousin - one of the reason is we born in the same year. She's my playmate (we love playing paper doll mostly), my fighting mate, and even my partner-in-crime. But after SPM, we made our own way differently. I wasn't her bridemaid on her wedding, but I was her whole-day-messenger ha3.

Since we're kid, we used to say we wanted to get married at the same time - but she surpassed me already LOL. At her engagement day previous year, she asked me "Bila kau nak cari boyfriend? Kata nak bersanding sama-sama." Of course it's too early for me - I'm focusing on my study, yet my elder sister hasn't get married. Ain got her lover much earlier than me, and she's graduated and working already - so I said "Jangan tunggu aku la. ha3"

Oh, I almost forgotten to say, she's married with Edy, her colleague - a friendly guy from Negeri Sembilan.

 At the evening, she asked me to accompany her for outdoor photo shooting.

1st location: I guess this is a haunted house.

 Almost decayed house structure - I couldn't stand with the mosquitoes!

2nd location: Pantai Minyak Beku

It's a new experience for me watching how they did the outdoor wedding photography, carrying Ain's veil, watching out her step (the bride was wearing heels of course), standing by with Edy's coat, and their umbrella (maybe I'd be good to be her best woman he3). Luckily the photographer is very friendly, so I didn't feel awkward following 'em. I couldn't wait to see the last photo - 3 of us with very beautiful scenery. Another benefit was - I finally stepped on to Pantai Minyak Beku! It may be odd to know someone who was raised in Batu Pahat has never been to this beach - it's funny to think back I went to many beaches in Malaysia, but not at my own place.

p/s: please ignore the title, it has nothing to do with her marriage. hahahahahah~

Journey to the east coast

3 days 2 nights holiday in Kelantan - real target was attending Nur Hakimah a.k.a. Imah's wedding.

1/6

9.15 pm: Taking bus from Yong Peng to Pasir Puteh - with 3 more friends taking from Segamat. Sleepy night, I was sitting beside a middle aged man, whom slept like a monster, conquering a part of my seat as well. Luckily I was quite patient that moment, or else he would have slept on the road already.

2/6

5.15 am: arrived at Pasir Puteh. The driver actually drove damn fast, we supposed to reach at Pasir Puteh on 6.30 am. Calling my classmate, Heir to fetch 4 of us. 

Skip the time, after Subuh prayer, we went to:

for breakfast.

Touring around Pasir Puteh with Heir as our driver, he asked us whether we want to go to Kota Bharu or Jeram Linang. I'd like to KB (thinking about museum and other interesting buildings), while the rest chose the waterfall - so unplanned picnic. 

 

 fall~ fall~ fall~ waterfall~

At the afternoon, we went to Imah's house. Yey~ we're so excited since she's our 1st classmate who got married. Just visiting Imah and her family before solemnizing of marriage night. We like her family a lot, they're very friendly, including her kiddy kiddy nephews and niece. Well, that's how teacher's family (her mom, dad, bro, sis, sis-in law - all teachers) *in proud intonation* ha3

Next, we went to Machang, Heir's parents hometown - the 4 of us stayed in his granny's (from paternal side) house while he stayed in his granpa's (from maternal side) house. Just 5 minutes from both house. 

 View from the car - road to Machang.

Cows walking in herds - perhaps almost hundred we could see, crossing the road.

At that night, we went to Pasir Puteh again~

Last photo with Ms Hakimah before she turned to Mrs. ha3

She's always beautiful, whether with or without cosmetic make up. =)

 Certificate of marriage - officially Mrs. Hakimah now!

3/6

7.00 am - Visiting Machang's hot spring - the common place where the villagers take bath every morning. 

 

9.00 am - Attacking Rantau Panjang - last time I went here was 16, with Mama. Not much has changed, except the price rate. ($.$) Let's see what has made me so eccentric here:

 just usual.

 Unique-shaped fishcakes, pink ears kitty with eyes made me no appetite to purchase it. ha3

 So portable, eh?

4/6 

10.00 am - leaving house earlier to attend Imah's wedding - actually to find bus ticket. However... well, when you have chance to decide yourself where to go...

 PANTAI TOK BALI!!!

Ha3 what so ladylike visit at beach!!!

tadaaaa~ we still made it!!! yey congrats my dear friend Imah <3

Before leaving Pasir Puteh, we went to another waterfall, I forgot already what's the name Jeram ?????

 What's your name, Jeram????

 Fish satay - a type of snack available in east coast and north. I've never found in Johore. 

 When the Johorians and Selangorian found what they've never eaten...

estimated 7.30pm - waiting to leave Kelantan, and my bus was at 9.11pm.

5/6

6.30 am  - arrived at Yong Peng, as I reached home, I put all my dirty cloth into washing machine and zzzzzzzz.....................

1.00 pm - awake!! huh??? =.= I found out... 

KTM member card has arrived.

 My 2 loyal nephews were waiting for me. =)

Adam: CU-WA-WAAA!!! Pergi mana???!!! Jom la kita main prince kayu selamatkan princess!!! (Showed his wooden toy - bought by Kakak)
Aiden: Ohh~ ohh~ pe? pe? (He's asking what we're doing - disturbing us, separated and pulled out Adam's prince from the wooden base)

Adam: Adik ni macam kambing kecik la!!!! (Referring Aiden as baby lamb in Timmy Time)
