wedding will always be the best place for family to gather

on saturday, ada wedding invitation. from for 4th cousin. i call him Abg Shaher. basically, when it comes to the whole route of family, we're the Sheikh Abd Salim's keturunan.

sheikh abd salim is my great great great great great moyang from Arab whom travels for dakwah and settles down at Padang, Sumatera. he landed in the troop of Kualoh and tie the knot with one of Sultan's daughter.

during the war, my ancestors larikan diri ke tanah melayu with all the kapals and harta benda. they explore the Selama, Perak up to Tebing Tinggi & Bagan Serai. :)

along the way, all the anak cucu kawin dgn all sort of other troop like mendaling and bilah. so, untuk merapatkan balik all the keturunan, and also to maintain the 'darah raja2', by the time sampai level 4th or 5th cousin, they will kawinkan their son/daughter. kawin sedara lah kiranya.

up to my family.. (i mean, our branch lah..not, the whole troop), even my mom's 2nd sis kawin wit her 1st cousin. so, these are all the details yang menyebabkan my family tree adventure seringlah tergendala..he3...(ingat senang ke nak link kan derang ni bila dah kawin sedara)

anyways, the wedding was held at kota damansara. yg excited nya si BigD and LilD lah. derang ber2 ni suka makan nasi orng kawin.x yah lauk pun.hahaaaa...

look at LilD.

them again...

biasalah kalau dh namanya kenduri.mesti ade la yg nak pegi ramai2. so, we went to Aunt1 place first where my uncle & cousin tunggu nak pegi together.

driving...

both BigD & LilD demam sebenarnya.tapi, budak kan? dh namanya berjalan, seronok je lah. yg muncung maknya.hahahahaa....(malas nak xplain..)

cuaca punyer lah panas. i do the normal routine mengalahkan orng ade anak bila g wedding. tak sempat nak snap sana sini as i was bz stranded doing something else.sungguh tak best. i wanted to snap pictures. our faces mmg mixed habis. sini ko tgk mcm indon habis..tetiba anak dia ade rupa arab2 sikit. mcm LilD, BIL mcm chinese, sis melayu, tetiba dia cam matsalleh pun ade. and, i cant believe, i missed to snap all that.

clockwise - AbgKotan, Kakak, CikBedah, AbgZaini, mom, KakElya, CikBahar, Aunt2 and Aunt1.

Note: CikBahar & CikBedah are husband & wife and they are also cousins.heheehhe...

ubat dh mula jalan. so, derang dh start lembik.

on my neneks side, this is the only uncle left. he's younger than mom and dats his wife and they have 12 kids!

everytime ade family weddings, i get to feel that my passion in music (esp singing) mmg in the blood lah! :P sumenya kaki nyanyi and kaki music. well, kat bawah ni pic of tuan rumah merangkap bapak pengantin siap nyanyi lagu wajah kesayangan hamba for all guest.

tuan rumah - Abg Shaher

BigD dh penat and buat muka nak ajak balik

LilD pun sama

macam la Khalati (me lah too) korang pedulik kan? ku teruskan jua snapping sikit2 from the kusi i ddk... hehehehehee

AbgKotan, CikPak and lil Amirul kat tgh2. (Ank CikPak no 10)

ntah macam mana, i dpt lepaskan diri ke dalam rumah.yay! dpt gak nak tgk pelamin and jumpa sedara. (sebenrnya bg alasan kat Sis nak panggil Mom.. :P)

sampai dalam rumah tgk my cousin tgh busy amik gamba.JEALOUS!

Abg Zaini tgh snap2..

sempat la jugak i layan borak ngan few cousins.sampai la tiba2 ada budak ni memeranjatkan orang from behind. its ASHWAQ! ya allah! bertahun tak jumpa sepupu yg sorang nih. dari kecik, mmg i am quite close ngan minah yg sorang nih. dia siap ikut jejak i masuk UIA tau.currently she's doing the Masters in Arabic Literature also in UIA.tinggal thesis je lagi.so proud of u sis!

si Ashwaq ni pulak, anak jati Saudi! hahhahaa.. born & raised in Makkah. cakap Arab berabuk gila! sampai kalau mama dia kejut tido pun dia leh jawab 'Thoyib!'. hahahaha...hakikatnya, darah Kualoh! :) stories bout yg ni pulak, later lah yer.kapla dh jam cite sejarah nenek moyang nih.

ni la Ashwaq. i like this pic Ashwaq, masalahnya bergegar lah pulaks.

ha... a better shot.

i had fun lah jugak walaupun panas hati & cuaca.kenapa panas hati? biasalah... malas nak cite kat sini.tapi, mmg menggelegak lah. bukan apa, aku pun ade pride.sesuka hati nak tengking2 tu apa hal? u may not realise it... but, mmg kecik hati. u always think u documented what ppl did to u.ingatlah what goes around, comes around.renung2 kan lah.

lupa lak nak citer.ingat dh nak end kan entry nih.hehehee..

yg jadi MC dat day pun, bukan org lain, sedara jugak. dulu2, selalu gak kutuk mamatMC ni. sekali tgk2 sedara.Amik ko! tu lah, moral of the story, jgn main kutuk orang..selidik dulu. :)

yg pasti, wa tabiklah mamat nih. gila terrer cakap Kualoh.aku pun fail cakap Kualoh tau.he made all the oldies smile and start Kualohing each other. hehehhee...

familiar??

a clearer view...

yes, its Shamsul Ghau Ghau

lunch - cari kain explorace

lunch tadi kuar ngan kak nita, kak zai & hazira. p jalan TAR. nak carik kain untuk baju nikah & reception wedding shifa nanti.

korang tgk minah ni. sib baik smpt amik gamba ikut belakang jer.dia nih i tell u... selamba badak je potong Q we all. walaupun baju dia lawa sweet ala2 angel..tp, budi bahasa..yaAllah! alhamdulillah, cab tu benti kat we all, bukan kat dia walaupun dia kat dpn..Allah maha adil dik!


cuaca punyer lah panas..dari turun building sampai la nak shopping... manusia tak soh cakap lah.i wonder where all of them come from. they don't even wear an office attire. so, they are all on leave? i mean ALL on leave? ramainya manusia!
nak pilih kain pun payah. ni kan pulak nak tolong carikan kain untuk farezah lagik. sorry babe.aku tak pilih pun untuk ko.manusia ramai sangat...nanti aku teman ko eh?




i went to jakel untuk cari matching pair untuk top yg i will wear wit my songket. decided to wear my brown kain songket.tapi, tak nak pakai the existing kebaya top. nanti, trus jadik fragile. so, tadi, g la cari kain untuk match kan dia... lepas tu, give up dgn manusia yg penuh..trus g Kamdar laks. ingat kan kurang manusia..rupanya lagi ramai! tapi, kat tepi tu ade promotion. trus je rembat. bila dh balik nih, like just realise that i'll be wearing songket for shifa's wedding. hehehhehehehe....

ni blouse kak nita.sweet kan?

ni while waiting for kak zai & hazira kat taxi stand

ha...sampai pun derang.. :)

apa pun, i am truly satisfied lah with the material i bought. even its quite kelam kabut in between people and time, but, puas hati.

this is what i'm gonna wear for shifa's nikah

..and this is for her reception night.

AUSSINO Warehouse Sale (30 Nov - 2 Dec 07)

of last night & this morning

after work last night, met wit shifa & eton kat Old Town White Coffee of 32 Square lah..mana lagi? port baru tu...

tunggu Eton kat LRT Bangsar kul 6:30pm... tunggu dok la tgk depan...sekali dia sampai kot belakang siap selamba bukak pintu terus.berderau kejap darah aku ton! :P hahaha.. off we go to meet shifa. si farezah x dpt join sbb TM complaint dh 3 hari mereka tak jumpa.. so, after being accused having some other affairs, bberjumpa lah mereka.. but, she drop by for a while and lepak wit shifa. sempat la jugak they all bitch around. :)

by the time we all sampai, farezah dh pegi jumpa TM. so, melepak lah kami ber3. borak dari hal relationship sampai ker bunga telor sampai ke merata2 lah.. not forgetting, pasal ex-sri amanian yg ade jugak lepak kat situ. lets just call her golden pot.
si golden pot nih memula tuh mcm buat2 tak nampak we all. tapi, sbb dia terlalu lah clumsy mengontrol herself time sampai, order & makan, nak tak nak, on the way back, she came to our table and say hi. we exchange number and nak tak nak si shifa pun invite la dia to her wedding. heheheheh...

anyways, lepas tu, we all pun balik lah. shifa kena pegi puncak perdana and eton trpaksa lah ngekor as shifa will send her back lepas tuh.

seperti biasa, when it comes to Kopitiam, i will definitely tapau something for *yezzer*. yesterday, belikan dia ice natural white coffee and kaya&butter double toast.Yummm!!!

so, pagi ni, ingat kan sempat lah nak breakfast ngan *yezzer*... tak sempat lah pulak. mom mintak tolong g ss2 anta barang kat aunt1. yg lawak, ngan *yezzer* ku angkut ke ss2. hahahaha...nasib la awak kan?

sampai je ofis, trus bayar wallet yg ku gila2 kan 2-3 hari nih... mintak tlg ina belikan sbb dia dh jadi member kat sini.

ni la wallet yg bakal menjadi milikku...

hahaha.. i know i know.. it might be simple and all and i have like zillions of bags & wallet collections.. but, i just like this piece.. ikut suka aku lah kan? :P

lagipun, its only rm40. i got nothng to fuss about. hehehehe...

ingatkan nak belikan satu kaler brown untuk mom's bday. tapi sudah sold out. tak pe la mom eh... nanti ayu tong tong beli gold untuk mak. nak beli sendirik tak mampu.. :)

eh chop... u all sume ade idea x what to buy for mom..??

last saturday

temankan shifa pegi Nilai3... panas nya subhanallah.. but, a good company will always buatkan u terlupa lah of the heat & etc... :)
i love my babes!

us in the car to Nilai

shifa, farezah & eton gve me my belated birthday present. I love it so much.. thnks babes!

look at it.. its yellow, its sunflower and it has a special note "frenz 4 eva"... muahs! maceh korang....

first sekali singgah kat Nilai Square dulu. ingtkan sama murah ngan Nilai3. sekali kedai riben nya ada satu jer. dh la one & only, berlagak pulak tuh.nak mintak kurang 10cent pun tak dapat. last2 we all ke kedai kain. murah nya... nak mampos! :P eton bought one for shifa's nikah. here are some pics taken in the kedai.

shifa & farezah memujuk eton to choose that kain.

i like dis pose of shifa.

me & farezah.

lepas dh membeli kain2 itu... gerak lah kami ke Nilai3. more stories & activities there can be read here... blog Reality

my fav flower & color... canteks!

lepas dh settle with all the shoppings & etc, we all pun balik. shifa decided all of us have lunch dulu kat Jaya32's Old Town Kopitiam. i had meehoon curry. sedap & highly recommended.

ha...ni lagi satu yg sedap..shifa nya order. kaya & butter thick toast. tgk rupa pun dh tau sedap kan? rasanya pun mmg sedap!

dah settle makan, off we go to shifa's crib. as for our 1st task, we all kena cari pairing for the mengkuang yg shifa dah bought earlier with esa @ air itam, johor. sampai terlunjur2 kaki lah... hehehehehehe...

buruh kasar... :)



and finally the outcome. but, i will try to add some ribbons kat kiri kanan yg kosong tuh. like esa's suggestion. tp, lom buat lagi. nanti dh buat nak tunjuk kat shifa... :)

macam2 manusia

kadang2 rasa pelik bila kita rasa macam kita kenal org tu, tp sebenarnya kita tak kenal org tuh...
sepanjang umo yg 28 thn nih... rasanya, i only devote myself to people.

ni bukan sessi nak menagih simpati/mengungkit yer..ini sessi melepaskan apa yg terbuku..*yezzer* kata kena belajar berubah...

masalah terbesar myself is == susah nak luahkan apa yg rasa di hati. susah nak bgtau pendapat sebenar... ade yg pendapat ni ade acception lah.. bila ngan farezah, shifa, eton, mas, shida, myn, angah, adik & kajol... i can b myself...

dengan budak2 ni lain sikit... derang tak cepat melatah dgn pandangan or apa yg ayu kata...they listen first...then, they ask my verification on why i say such things..then only they judge me..then only they tell or advise me adakah my opinion tu betul or salah... and they don't talk behind me.

bila dgn *yezzer* pulak... ayu jadi takut... jadi takut nak cerita benda2 yg jadi kat dalam rumah... and perangai2 yg x berapa nak betul kat rumah.. bukan apa.. bukan nak cerita yg best2 jer... tapi, takut dgn penerimaan dia... takut kalau2 ada jodoh nanti... cerita2 macam nih boleh terbawak2...tak mo la... kita nak share sb nak luahkan jer.. bukan nak burukkan... kita tau *yezzer* bukan mcm tuh.. tapi tu lah, makan masa la sikit, k?

ada yg comment that my life ni bertuah... ayu aminkan jer...

seboleh2nya... ayu tak nak banding2kan kehidupan ini dengan yg lebih baik atau lebih buruk.. supaya ayu boleh sentiasa belajar untuk hidup bersyukur di atas apa yg ayu ada.

tapi, Allah je tau apa yg ayu rasa selama nih... Allah je tau apa yg ayu tanggung saban hari...

sejak sis kawen... 13 tahun lalu, i am the one yg teman mom kemana saja mom pergi.. kecuali urusan kerja dia lah.. itu pun, kalau bukan cuti sekolah.. if cuti sekolah, ikut lah kemana pun.. sejak darjah5, ayu dh berulang alik dari sekolah ke hospital. tlg jaga kan arwah nenek. sejak nenek sakit, tak de lain yg ada kat kepala kecuali FAMILY.

sampailah naik darjah 6, nenek pesan suruh belaja rajin2 supaya nanti boleh jaga mom baik2. sejak tu, barulah ayu mula tumpukan perhatian pada pelajaran. nak kena tambah effort sikit je lagi.. alhamdulillah...i am not an undergrade students. i just need to push a lil to succeed. right before UPSR, nenek passed away. my strenght, my heart & my soul passed away leaving me forever.


alhamdulillah, i got straight As for UPSR and was offerred to boarding skol. i rejected the offer as nenek pesan suruh jaga mak & jgn g skola jauh2... dia kata sri aman tu cukup..dekat dgn rumah. so, sri aman i went.

kat sekola i am a very very reserved student. tak banyak kawan pun time ni.harapkan kawan2 yg sama kat KT jer. my life is basically about goin to skol, balik pegi mengaji and trus lepak rumah. buat keje2 rumah, keje2 skola & tunggu mom balik from office. this routine prolong sampai i form3. sis getting married. right before my PMR exam.

time flies and and sis moved out. she wants to be independent. so, back to square. however, at this time, i was already in form4. i've met all my Reality babes. life was different. they thought me a hell lot about life. we have our own identity and different personalities & back ground. one thing we hold still.. FRIENDSHIP. alhamdulillah... we all kekal sampai sekarang... to date, it's been 13 years of friendship.

i enrolled to iiu after form5. things was a hell lot of onak duri. i couldn't eloborate more here. ada a few benda yg make me smile lah.. like jumpa angah Yan, Myn, Kajol, Adik Lela, all MISan yg meletops!, budak2 AIDHANs (14 org, tak terlayan nak tulih nama sekor2), budak IRC (u all the best!) and also BB.

tapi, dugaan study kat sini tak payah cerita lah. mana kelam kabut berulang alik every wekk balik rumah. mana layan kerenah and all stories yg tak masuk akal oleh dad and also other dramas. sampai lah skrng nih...

basically, my life is, home, family, babes and now *yezzer*.

alhamdulillah, *yezzer* jenis yg paham. kalau kena time BB dulu, mati lah! harus merajuk hari2...

baru2 ni mom merajuk.dia kata we all sume x dgr cakap dia. i was sad.so truly sad. i cried sampai bengkak2 mata. tak tahan kena tuduh mcm tu. tak sanggup nak terima. walaupun dh biasa kena caci by sis, but dis is different. rasa mcm habis sume pengorbanan selama nih.

sepanjang 28thn hidup, boleh kira berapa jam out of 8,064jam i am out of mom & family side. call rumah sehari sampai 3 kali. to make sure rumah at peace.

kenapa tiba2 bawak kuar sume nih? sbb PENAT.

TERAMAT PENAT.
