Married, I am...

Fuh.. it's been a while since I blogged...
I'm finally married! I can't express how happy and grateful I am. Everything went well, thanks to my lovely sistas and friends.. Like my aunt said, you can't find friends like them anywhere.. she's darn right! I don't know what I'd do without them.. bless them.. bless them..

Well, getting married should be simple, if you're a Muslim. But not these days, when Muslim receptions are trying to compete with the Chinese receptions! Orang Cina kalau buat kenduri kawin, macam bisnes dah. Kalau angpow kurang dari RM500, sori la nak makan kat meja ber-aircond, dok luar la mkn nasi ayam.. hahaha... no la, I'm just exaggerating. Tapi lebih kurang la tu. Dorang nak make sure kenduri tu balik modal. Cina, biasa la.. sumer bisnes...

Nak kawin? Senang je. Pegi kursus kawin, dengar betul-betul especially part camne nak isi borang permohonan kawin. Kursus kawin ni sebenarnya tu la tujuannya, nak ajar cara isi borang je. And I think it's kinda leceh gak la, especially kalau your partner is from another state. Luckily my husband orang KL gak (wow.. my "husband"!). Kursus kawin I hampeh sket, dia tak ajar betul-betul camne nak isi borang. Tak macam kursus kawin Deb, siap ajar tulis atas borang satu satu. Cis.. So, we ended up naik turun JAWI berapa kali gak la. It's a good thing we did it like months before we got engaged.

Thanks to b-Fyzal, he encouraged me to do things way ahead of time. Bayangkan la, 3 bulan sebelum kawin dah siap book dewan & caterer, HIV test, isi borang, amik borang, tempah baju, cameraman, blablabla.. patu tunggu hari jek. Those are the important things la. Last minute things like gubahan hantaran, kemas rumah, accessories pengantin, inai tu sumer tetap kelam kabut la.. demmit. Sedikit fail di sana. Sometimes the little things tu la nanti orang pertikaikan. Contohnya la.. my inai nih, bagi I dah cukup la ada kaler sudah la.. tapi utk makcik pakcik, oh sungguh tidak cukup merahnya... what the hell, I tengok cantik aje.. hihi. Takpe, kang bertandang I inai biar hitam terus.

I think the most difficult part of my wedding... is my mom. Ya Rasul.... I know she's excited and all, and I'm so thankful she's part of my wedding, and approves it.. but when she's stubborn... she's STUBBORN! No, I bukannya cerewet pasal gubahan ke, colour theme ke, tu sumer I bagi dia pilih. Tapi bila I pesan siap sumer awal-awal, dia tanak dengar, itu boleh membikinkan panik satu dunia! Just imagine, malam sebelum nikah tu I dok lari ke sana kemari pasal hantaran.. aiyo.. and she merajuk with me that night, sumer orang tanak tolerate sebab dah stress. I tension sebab my friends had to do the running too.
Moral: Pegi je upah orang buatkan hantaran kalau tak pernah buat. Kecoh aje.
But in the end, it all came up well, alhamdulillah...
Tapi, you tanya la sape-sape pun, stress tu sumer datang dari family, tak kira la makpak ke aunty-uncle ke adik-beradik.. family la.

I'm sure most of you know this already, my akad nikah was done in English.. hihihi.. sebab my dad kan pelat BM nih, so he wanted to do it in English, and of course b-Fyzal kena jawab in English la kan. 3 months before the wedding, I booked the Tok Kadi and told him to do the akad, at that time I thought it'd be better since my dad couldn't speak malay well, and normally kita melayu nikah dlm BM. Tapi masa rehearsal bleh plak Tok Kadi tu tanya my dad beberapa kali samada dia nak walikan and do the akad. Tah camne dia punya saiko my dad, my dad agreed to do the akad and the Tok Kadi recommended to do in English. Secara rohaninya, b-Fyzal and I dah pengsan. hahahaha.. well, I underestimated my super-dad! Masa akad tu.. secara coolnya dia telah menikahkan I.. hehehe...

And coming to b-Fyzal plak, masa nak jawab akad tu ada 2 options: satu ayat panjang, satu ayat pendek. The nite before, dia dah gabra and told me he couldn't do the long sentence sebab masa lafaz tu dah start tersasul here and there (Ni practice the day before tau..sebelum ni dah practice versi BM berbulan2, last minit kena buat English lak). So we agreed to do the short sentence.
But, he surprised me on the nikah day, when he replied with the long sentence! Sekali jek, and sah! We're married. hehe.. After all that, I asked him why he read the longer one instead? Tersasul ke? And he told me, he wanted to mention my name when marrying me.. awww... you so lomantik one lohhh...

"I hereby accept A***** binti A**** in marriage with mahar as declared"
Sounds simple, tapi cuba prektis berkali-kali with clear pronunciations, berbelit gak lama-lama.. hahaha..

I'm thankful that the food during reception was great. Everyone had their favourite lauk. Mine of course was the main table, waitress tu siap kopekkan udang kitorang okkk... mengada betul lah! Tempat cantik. Orang yang datang pun cantik-cantik, hensem-hensem.. AJK-AJK superb giler.. tak habis-habis I puji dorang.

Overall, my wedding was a success! Mengikut timeline and budget. Me and b-Fyzal, I think we make a great partner. My friends, they make a marvellous team! And oh.. tah camne dorang ni bleh ada chemistry ngan caterer, kan? Eye contact is just what they needed to communicate.. hebatlah! Saya bangga!

I would like to thank:
1. My beautiful sister Aisha who helped a lot.. When you said you'll stand by me no matter what, you kept your words. I WUV YOU!
2. Ashraf... for just being there! Thank God... When you're 25, you'll know why I always bebel at you...
3. Fara for helping from the very beginning and being my maid of honour.
4. Elly, Skin, Biq for handling all the caterers, hall and changing room, and always making sure the guests are okay, expecially rombongan lelaki. Thanks for running around doing last minutes errands for me too. Korang mmg bahan bualan aunty-aunty I. Memang tepatlah pilihan I meminta bantuan korang.
5. Arab for being the MC yang menggolekkan bunga pahar I hahahaha... kelakar nak mampos! Suara abang Arab memang mencongkam!! You guys won't believe if I said he can be a great MC! Serious! (tapi sebelum tu kena kasi dia karaoke sorang-sorang test mic dulu la)
6. Zamani who handled everything (especially my mom) like a professional event manager and for being b-Fyzal's bestman.
7. Hasrul for helping out with everything too! Thanks for the cars (yours and Skin's) for loading all those stuffs, last minute kereta I bleh rosak la plak kan...
8. GBam and Palie for being our photographers.. mana gambar wehhh... tak sabooo...
9. Nawwal for being my eldest sister once again.
10. Deb, Nan and KakDik for so many great advices and also for the lovely gubahan hantaran pihak lelaki... mak mertua I suka sgt lapik dulang tu haaa... cantik sgt katanya.
11. My parents.. for everything! I miss them already.. (padahal dekat nak mampos)

Did I miss anyone out?
Anyway, without them it wouldn't have happened the way I wanted..


I'm happy the wedding of my dreams finally came true.. simple and memorable. And I married the most wonderful man I've ever met... The last thing I need from my family and friends is to pray for my happiness, as I always pray for theirs... Love you all!


To my husband, Faizal.. Yatta! Everything happened because of you.. Thank you for all you've done. You make me love you more and more each day... Aishiteru!

Now darling.. can we finally go catch a movie??

seminggu lagi!!!

yes sometimes people blame us for being ignorant, when actually our heads are full of silly stuffs to think of... cth: mak i tak jumpa songkok yg nak letak atas hantaran.. bleh tak? and my parents bought another Quran to put on the dulang, padahal i dah beli dah Quran tu.. and apatah lagi la... huhuhuhu... takde la pening sgt tapi berkerut dahi la sbb rasa benda2 camni tak sepatutnya terjadi, tapi dia jadik gak la kan...

i guess they're excited as i am, but i worry they pay too much attention to the wrong things. coz i'm the first to sit on the throne for the day, we have no experience what so ever in weddings. ikutkan hati i belasah je wedding planner.. seminggu sebelum tu pun sempat nak tgk wayang and joli katak dulu... hah... bertuah punya pompuan. tapi i kena jaga hati mak i gak, dia yg nak buat gubahan tu, i bagi la dia buat.. and telur pun dia nak rebus sendiri, and kek pun dia nak deco2 gak, and baju adik i pun dia nak buatkan, and my make up pun dia nak buatkan, and and and.. fuh.. terer tul dia... (tapi i pening kepala takut tak sempat siap).. i love my mom so much.. i know she's trying hard...

i know my friends will understand why i suddenly isolate myself. anyway, they keep calling me up and keep updates on my progress... i'm so fortunate to have good friends.

anyway, this is just an apology blog and i hope everyone understands it. i told myself before lepas kawin i tetap nak lepak2 with friends... make sure i do that...

nite..

p/s: aisha, thank you for shellac-ing my kitchen cabinet! sudah cantikkk... hihihihi...
p/s: bee.................. one more weeeeek!!!!!! i love you so much!! you're just an amazing person. i'm the luckiest girl on earth...

every single day

i think i love you too much...

resign!!

okkkk aku dah fedap ngan company aku nih.. tak paham bahasa ke apa aku taktau la. berapa kali aku ckp aku tanak pegi east coast, tapi dia dok suruh pegi gak? buduh! ada bertelor2 jantan buat sales aku sorang je pompuan dlm sales team, dia pilih aku gak? hehehe ye aku tau aku superwoman, tapi aku superwoman yang pentingkan diri sendiri dan keselamatan diri gak...

so tomorrow aku nak submit letter aku, 2 months notice, jangan la dia sibuk2 nak suruh pegi lagi... hmph! give up.

tekmark adalah company yang berat sebelah dan penuh dgn kroni. ceo dia takde otak yang asyik dengar ckp PA dia je. education team ada sorang batu api yg kitorang panggil dia mamat rambut cacak2. company yg tak reti nak appreciate hard work orang lain. and sape pandai kiss ass akan bertahan... hmm...

dulu masa korang tanak account yang hampeh2 ko campak kat aku ye? time2 nak kena blacklist company kita ko campak kat aku ye?? skang dah ada order dari sana, aku dah kamceng baik punye ngan bendahari, ada plak mamat rambut cacak2 ni konon2 ada tolong2 aku.. dia nak piece of the cake gak! haloooo???? skang ko nak sangat kan?? haaa amik!! amik sumer!

aku dah nak settle down, aku takleh la nak buat keje2 superwoman lagi. i surrender.

aku dgr ramai nak resign sebab PA ceo kita tu suka kaco bilau keadaan. ada ke dorang ckp si PA ni tak suka ngan perempuan yg lebih stylo dari dia... terimalah ko tu mmg buruk, dah la tua, tak sedar diri betul. pakai kasut salah saiz... pekejadah.. stylo apa? eee....

setakat ni aku dengar yg nak resign ada laa dlm 5 orang.. sumer orang2 yg agak penting gak la, walaupun position tak berapa nak besar.. tapi orang2 cam admin staff la.. ha amik.. kacau bilau betul nanti. nora pun dah submit2 resume kat orang dah. yoke lin pun. sheryn pun. fuh ramai lagi la.. tak hapal nama.

so, to tekmark... dah bertahun2 orang selalu lari dari ko.. tak paham2 lagi ke? your management sucks, your decision making sucks, your everything sucks... i can't believe i wanted to work there so badly before... ptuit. and i wonder camne ko dpt ISO dulu? ko beli ek? u can buy la that.. but u cant buy trust from us.

i'm leaving tekmark with a smile!

New Age Wedding Gifts

Nowadays, we have lotsa choices to give as wedding presents to our friends who are getting married. Next month, my lovely sista is getting married. And I'd like to highlight some things that are worth giving. No more of those tea sets!! Please!! Unless specifically requested la.. japanese tea set won't harm...

1. Bedsheet (make sure what size they're using)
2. Curtain (which type, the pole or the old fashioned rail)
3. Carpet (ask what colour theme is their room or hall)
4. Silver cutlery set
5. DVD player (yg ada divx lar...)
6. Picture frames (set yang mahal sket la.. bukan yg rm5 satu tu)
7. Cordless phone (you need a fixed line at home sometimes)
8. Lamp (again you must know their theme)
9. Bathrobe with initials (hmm...)
10. Juice/Coffee maker (kalau dia tak suka kopi jgn la beli coffee maker tu..)

Ok what I'm trying to say here is, try avoiding buying the same old tea set, dining set, kettle, iron... selalu i tgk bila dorang bukak hadiah kan, byk la plak yg bagi benda sama...

Or to be on the safe side, tanya terus kat pengantin tu, nak apa.. abih citer... any more ideas? I need to find a gift for my sista here

subjective

commitment. where art thou?
i have mine with me
as i have vowed
i wonder where's yours
is it gone now?
but i sense it's been missing
i wonder why, when and how?
i remember you questioned me
but the mirror is facing you somehow
i hate you so suddenly
you fucking lying old cow!!

i hate you
i hate you
i hate you

lost in your own worthless world!

how dare you questioned my commitment!!

eat your words alive now! liar!

i hate you

- -- - - -- - - -- - - -- -

bee, jom tgk ghost rider... lama tak tgk wayang nih

i can't

i cannot hate her but i do,
i cannot blame her but i do,
i cannot do anything but i want to,
i cannot explain but i want to,
i cannot love her but i do,
i cannot hate her... but i do...

strategic game

Many things I learnt these few weeks. Mostly just makes me want to be ignorant all the more. Especially the part where people think that they know everything, and pushing away the fact that the person they're speaking to knows something too. To make things worse they're so proud of what they're bragging about, when actually it's just bullshit to most of us.

I don't mind them being proud of who they know, we all are proud with who we know. The thing that makes me sick is when they start to look down on us. Damn, you're lucky we didn't say more. We're not impressed with any of the names you mentioned, nor the functions that you're planning. Our only focus is us, and everything related to our rights. Didn't they listen to anything we said? I'm not impressed with what money do to people like them. Wasted.

It's a sad thing when someone tries to help, but being taken advantage of. Sigh…

And sadder when what they've bragged about just reveals their weaknesses and giving us points to counter-attack them back! Amusing. It feels like we're playing a strategic game. What happened these few days just makes me want to pin-point their mistakes and make a fool out of them and just walk away with just smiles on our faces. That would be very satisfying.

I pity those who tried and worked hard. It seems pointless now. Pointless when you get to know people like them. Pointless when you know that the world is just polluted with people like them, taking advantage and politics are always everywhere. Has money blinded us all? Where's the quality in our work nowadays?

…………. . . .. . . .. . . .. . . .. . .. . . .. . .. . ..

Okay, I just received good news! Gonna call my baby… forget about this blog!! I'm so happy right now!! Hahahahahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaa………………

kampai beeee kampaiii!!!!

Everybody knows Somebody

What business people should learn.

Listen before you speak...
And be modest.


Ramai orang skrg suka pakai nama kawan yang ada 'nama'.
But they tend to forget, this world is just too small.

Langkawi Trip

Date: 11-13 January 2007

Langkawi was fun or what?? I had a blast!! With my bF by my side and my sistas and brothas with me... sigh...

We stayed in Langkasuka. The room is huge! Suppose to be a deluxe bed room, but we had one deluxe and another single bed instead! And the bathroom, one shower room and another big bathtub... No complains on the room, except no carpet... alaa aku tak suka la hotel takde carpet nih... sejuk... tapi takpe gak, coz bilik dia ada aircond and kipas!! So kitorang mmg tido ngan kipas je la.. hihihihi sejukkk.... Another thing I like about Langkasuka is the swimming pool. It looks more like a lake/pond la... klorin pun tak rasa.. alaahaiii... nak rendam lagi.... Buttt...... the breakfast wasn't my favourite la. Food not fresh, service poor... I kept eating breakfast cereal, coz I found that to be the most delicious... hehehe... ngada lar...

Ok, other highlights at Langkawi (which we managed lar..) was the Island Hopping, where we stopped at Beras Basah and mandi-manda tak hingat dunia. Air dia, mak aih.. jernihnyeeerrr.... Later, we went to feed the eagles... lotsa lotsa eagles!!! I've never seen eagles flew in front of me that close before... I can say that was one of the greatest experience I had lar... dah la aku suka helang. Then later, to Pulau Dayang Bunting, ada lake kat sana.. air dia fresh nak mampos k.... tapi kitorang takut nak mandi coz takde pegawai incharge and it looked so deep. Mana tau ada monster nak ngap, sape nak tolong? hehehehe.. so main2 air gitu2 je la. Ikutkan hati mmg nak terjun aje!

Mana lagi ek pegi, sori la maleh nak elaborate, sbb terngiang2 masalah kat opis nih.

Ok back to Langkawi, malam tu kitorang makan kat this Restoran Aliah, seafood la nih... pergh sedap tak terkata. Murah pun murah. Kita pilih seafood apa kita nak patu dia masak la, cam biasa. Tapi sbb udang dia besar2 and ketam2 dia gemok2... hehehehe tu yg buat I mmg suka tambah kolestrol... kolestrol i lap u but i hate u...

Malam tu nak main daun terup, tapi sumer tak larat. Tapi bF yg comel ni bleh plak ajar I camne nak tilik nasib dalam percintaan pakai daun terup! kahkahkahkah... apasal comel sangat you nihhh?? Siap ada jalan cerita lak tu sambil menilik and bukak daun!! hahahahha... entertaining betul! Patu tiap kali reveal the prediction tu, sure cakap "kurafat.. kurafatt... syirikk nihhh..." tapi sambung tilik balik! kahkahkah... you make me love you more la bee... suka buat I gelak je... Haa.. layan la tilik tu sampai kul 4pagi... patu pengsan.

Next day, pagi2 berendam kat pool sampai tgh hari... it was Friday so kita rehat utk Solat Jumaat la kan... Later, we went to this Temurun Falls, tapi takde apa2 yang fall la. Apsal tah air terjun dia kering. Beruk2 kat sana pun lama tak makan junk food sampai dia ikut je bF aku tu ke hulu ke hilir sbb ternampak bF kuarkan plastik, padahal rokok... apa la beruk ni... beruk tul. It was frustrating to see the waterfall dry. I dah terbayang berendam kat dlm air yg sejuk dan tak masin, patu lepak tepi mkn sate jelly fish.. pergh... i'm more of a sungai person before... tapi lama-kelamaan aku rasa aku suka lagi la mandi laut, cuma kalau ada jelly fish mmg aku benci lar!

Speaking of that, since the Temurun Falls takde apa2 yang nak di'fall'kan, kitorang berenam terus ke arah Pantai Tengkorak, sbb masa on da way tu ternampak pantai tu cam cantik dan putih. Sampai2 je Elly and Arab la terjun dulu. Diikuti pula dengan saya dan kekasih hati saya yang memang suka mandi laut. Tapi itu laut kan, macam ada binatang kicik2 bulat2 swimming... I thought it was jelly fish, tapi dia kecik sgt so bF ckp tu bukan jelly fish. Ok la, so berenang lah kita... then lama2 terasa gatal2 badan. First, aku ngan Elly je rasa... patu lama2 dorang pun rasa gatal2. Ok that's it. So kitorang kuar and took our shower. Cis.. skejap jek mandi.

Then we rushed to the Cable Car... Harga ticket is RM25 tapi kalau kita Malaysian dia charge RM15 je. Very de goooooood. Cable Car ride took us 15mins to reach to the top. The view from up there is amazing! And cold! And windy!! Hehehehe... seronoknye la masa tuuuu... patu curi2 isap rokok kat atas kehkehkeh... nak buat jahat gak tu. Kat atas ada cam tempat cafe gak la, tapi aritu tak bukak probably pasal hari Jumaat kan. Tapi sure best giler dpt minum kopi kat atas sana... pergh pergh pergh.

Kitorang lepak sampai la nak tutup tempat tu. Later, we went around Pantai Chenang to shop around. Cam aku ni aku beli benda2 pelik je la, cam rokok yg brand tahpape.. saje nak try sbb packaging dia comel. But not bad gak la rasanyer. Lenkali nak pesan orang belikan la. Kitorang takleh nak shopping sgt sbb tight budget la kan. Anyway, aku ni kan tak reti shopping.

Patu makan kat tempat Aliah again, this time tak amik nasi la. Ratah udang and ketam byk2... slurp! Aku ngan Skin la fight to the last tast drop... orang lain dah lepak isap rokok dah... kitorang makan lagi dan lagi dan lagi... Bukannya mkn byk pun, tau la ketam kan... nak kopek kena teliti.. hhihihihi... sedap betul la... this time mahal sket kitorang makan, RM40 for me and my bF. Udang 10 ekor besar dan gemok, ketam 2 ekor besar, kerang sepinggan penuh, and sayur... ye, kami mmg suka makan sayur. Not bad la kan? Patu makan tepi pantai.. adeh... nikmat dunia.

Balik tu konon nak main pakau la... hmph... hampeh. Sumer pengsan.

Our last day, we checked out early, coz we had to rush to the duty free zone to buy stuffs back. Again aku tader duit, so aku belikan utk mak-mak aku je la. January mmg bulan bankrap aku. Tau tak rokok kat sana mahal??? Tah pape laaaaaa.... aku ngan Elly beli rokok kat airport jek. Lagi murah... Kata duty free.. salah duty free ke kitorang pegi?? Anyway, kitorang lunch pun ala-koboi. Then waited for our flight. This time aku dapat duduk tepi tingkap. Punya la penat aku time tu, masa dah landing kan... aku bleh tertido? Sepanjang2 perjalanan tak tido, masa dah land baru doze off..!! Apa2 aje la.. hahahaha...

I wont forget this trip. Me, bee, Elly, Arab, Skin and Papi... cukup la nak kepohkan Langkawi... hehehehe... I won't mind going again, coz ada tempat lain tak sempat pegi pun... but I want my bee to be by my side larr... sebab dia suka layan I yang ngada-ngada kat sana.. hehehe... (especially tang jelly fish tu... ooo nak kena dia nih...)

I had a great time with you, bee!! I love you!!!

Another Birthday...

Malas nak proper2 blogging this time. Coz I'm at my office and I'm sick with everything here. Today bangun siap pikir nak EL jek... tapi... tanak la... mampos pi la. I nak face my problems here. If I have to, I nak maki boss I... dah siap script nih... kihkihkih...

This year, actually I totally forgot about my birthday. On Friday 5th Jan, the whole bunch of us pegi main badminton la. Aku yg tak suka main badminton tetiba dah gian plak... ye la.. dah pandai smash... Tapi still takleh kalahkan Apek and ET... cis... takpeee....

After the game, kitorang pi lepak kat tempat lepak bese kita tu... tah apsal kita selalu pi sana..servis dah la kelamkabut, dah naik harga lak tu!! maybe pasal sisha and tak bising kot... whatever la. I tak ingat langsung pasal bday sampai laaaa alarm hp Fyzal I tu bunyi.. oops kantoi dia.. kehkehkeh.. baru la i cam terpikir "eh bday aku sial! patut la biq pun nak join..." hahahahaha... I guess I forgot about it becoz I told them I tanak celebrate apa2 this year... so jangan la nak saplais2 ek.. tapi knowing my lovely sistas... diorang datanggg jugak jauh2... skin tak main badminton pun buat2 la minat dtg tgk badminton... kahkahkahkahhh.... ingatkan dia bosan dok umah. lenkali jom la mein skalik ekk... muahmuah! yang biq plak bleh salah timing... dtg lambat.. hehehhe... marah dia tak dpt main badminton, lagi2 ami tu...

Maybe I forgot about my bday coz I dah celebrate awal2 ngan my darling Fyzal. Dia ckp dia tak sabar nak celebrate bday ngan I, sbb tak sabar nak sama umur. Ye la, kita pun beza 33 hari jek... cis suka dia yer, sama umur...
He bought me an expensive white-gold necklace with a heart-shaped diamond pendant... i think this is the most expensive gift I've ever received, not that I'm comparing... You spoil me la, bee.... Tapi I suka... hihihihiii.... My bF nih kalau buat apa2 utk I mmg sungguh2 aje... tak pernah kurang, seriously... I rasa kalau ada lautan api pun sanggup dia renangi (amboi, perasannyer aku!) But that's how he makes me feel la... I love him soooo much!

Anyway, my bday wishes this year byk gak... thank you so much guys for the wishessss... ye ye... I dah tua...... . . .. .. . korang pun dah tua gak... hehe..

Patu bday present, bleh plak telepati Biq and Skin tu, beli t-shirt sleeveless... pakat nihhh.... dua2 beli ala2 rock gitu. ye la, skg kan kena berimejkan rocker chic. Dua2 cantik!! Suka sgt!!

Tak pernah rasa tiramisu sesedap tu, ada kacang caramel kat atas and chocolate flakes kat tgh2... slurp......

Cam bese family dinner sama2, since my sis and my dad bday dekat2..6,7,8 january.. And cam bese, kalau dah dinner sama2 tu mcm2 la kan... sbb family I nih mmg born to laugh kot... hahahaha... My dad buat lawak, Aisha ngan Ashraf jgn ckp laa, takleh jumpa... mmg satu gabungan hebat nak buat standup comedy tu...

Pandai dia pilih kaler and pattern... Now i dont have to wear the same old executive formal watch everywhere i go... Thank you Shaaaa.... i love it so much!

Itu saja yg berlaku di harijadiku... eh pelancaran tahun melawat mesia was on my bday... wah... grand nyer... tengkiu mesia... oh... lupa nak mention, Arab and I share the same birthdate, but different year la.. he's exactly one year older than me... kira celebrate aritu sama2 la...

Thank you all for remembering the day I was born...
Thank you those who messaged and call me to wish me, ramai sgt, sampai dah tak kenal sape call dah... esoknye baru tau sape call... aiseh...
Thank you for spending some of your dough to buy me presents...

And thank you bee, sampai esoknye pun tak habih2 wish happy birthday... hihihhiii... comel sgt! I love you, darling...

Grave of the Fireflies

Who would have thought I'd see fireflies again? The last time I played around with fireflies was around... hmm... 12 years ago? I'm not all that 'jakun' with fireflies, but it's been awhile. I'm not talking about just 'a' firefly, but a swarm of them (betul ke pakai swarm nih?)...

So my trip to Sekinchan was not a short one. On New Years day, and also 2nd day of Aidiladha, b-Fyzal, ArabElly and I drove all the way to Sekinchan to visit Skin (figured the name?) and her family. We left at around noon, and we reached Sekinchan around 3pm (ye ke?). We were really hungry by the time we got there. At Skin's we had laksa thai, mee tomato, nasi tomato, etc. Mee tomato was delicious!! Kakak's recipe... I had 2 servings... hehehehe... So we chatted, laughed and gossiped.. hahaha... Skin's mom is really cool!!

Later, we wanted to check out Hj Punari's kerepek, but too bad it was closed, maybe due to Hari Raya. So, Skin took us to the seaside. Not the best sight, but the wind really made us high... yea, after the lunch and all... it was real breezy... sigh... Then, later we drove through the paddy fields. Left and right, all green. It was really relaxing. Makes you want to leave KL.

But the one thing that I'll remember most is our trip to the Fireflies Park. It's opened from 8pm-12pm daily and it costs RM10 per entry. Didn't think that the place would be crowded, with foreigners and locals. They took us in a motorboat, and lucky enough our boat was quiet. Not like some where the engines were noisy.

And through the lake we watched the fireflies, thousands and thousands of them, blinking away in the quiet bushes and trees. Behind us were 3 Japanese tourists, and they kept saying "sugoiii neee.... sugoiiii..." and it reminded me so much of Studio Ghibli's Grave of the Fireflies, where I watched with my dear Fyzal and quietly cried by his side (I bet he cried too).

As he held me close and whispered sweet nothings, in the quiet peaceful lake jungle, it's as if the rest of the world just vanished leaving the both of us in a world of our own. I'm sure ArabElly felt the same. I'm not sure about Skin, because she was with Is... hehehehe... As we approached the last few bushes, somehow the fireflies were ready to perform a magnificent show for us... they just simply blinked in synchronize! It was beautiful. And they said fireflies are slowly being extinct. You might see one or two fireflies here and there, but you won't find a swarm of them so often. I'm glad we still have them here in our country.

It's one of the most romantic rides ever... furthermore, with your loved ones and close friends with you.

About half an hour later, when the noise from the streets gradually being heard, we know that our ride has come to an end. Sigh... reality strikes back. We later then had a drink, at 2 places! hahaha... the first stop they didn't take our orders so after 10 minutes we decided to walk away and go to the next restaurant. The next one wasn't all that better though. So we hung out for awhile, ArabElly just couldn't take their eyes off......... the tv screen showing REMPIT THE MOVIE????? Come on, you guys..... hahahahaha...

And so we headed back to KL. I really didn't think that my trip to Sekinchan would be this interesting. Well, thanks to our sista Skin and her kampung neighbour Is for giving us the short tour ride. We're sure to go back there and check out other Fireflies Park. This time on a sampan! And probably with Biq! If Biq was with us, oh dear... havoc!


Grave of the Fireflies... here in my heart always...
