Diwali.. :)

Every year without fail, my mom will definitely received invite from her old colleague, Uncle S for Deepavali. Every single year. Not only because we got the invite, but honestly.. we look forward for Deepavali just to visit Uncle S and his family too...

tak tau nak beli apa, so singgah Secret Recipe beli cake as buah tangan

Kalau last year only me & my mom je yang sempat menghadirkan diri, but this year, sis sefamily pun sempat tag along. 

Rumah yang confirm akan masuk blog ni setiap kali deepavali..
hahahahaha

Kami sampai2 tu, satu group mom's old colleague dah nak balik.. sempat jumpa kat pintu masuk je..

rupa2 family mertua Yasmin Hani adalah mom's old colleague.
ibuku yang blur.. boleh ditanyanya... "familiar muka menantu you ni"...

me & sis??
*slaps forehead sambil senyum kambing*

END OF DISCUSSION

nasib baik orang tu nak balik dah.
aduhai!

Uncle S the 'chatty box'

Makanan macam tahun2 sebelumnya dijamin bersih, halal dan sedap melampau!!!!!!!!!

Isk.. nasib baik la sedar diri.. and nasib baik jugak Indian food kurang pakai santan... tahap saya meratah tu ... eiiii.....
terasa lagi kesedapannya... nyum nyum..

sehingga menjilat jari berkali kali.. OMG tak malu sungguh...

while we, the adults busy indulging our foods.. my bothDs were entertained by Uncle S's daughter in law. heheh.. boleh lah mama papa dernag makan dengan penuh ketenangan. sekian.

I've known Uncle S since small..
dia ni dulu kalau datang makan kat my house.. stock masuk dapur amik from stove. hahahaha

contoh.. kalau  arwah nenek masak sambal tumis udang.. dia akan suruh we all pindahkan all from kuali to dalam bekas. Then, dia akan letak nasi putih dalam kuali bekas sambal tu and gaul everything. Lepas tu baru dia letak dalam pinggan and makan.
hahahaha...

(i really hope dia x reti blog blog ni and tak akan jumpa entry ni.. Amin)

sis & family

before we all balik.. ex bos my mom sampai.. sekeluarga..
tersangkut lah kami...

lepas mom catch up here and there... of we go home...
dengan perut yang kenyang dan hati yang senang.

Sobbing...

Usually, people will wake up beautifully on a Friday morning....
Because its TGIF... Its FLYday.. And just because the weekend is here... :)

But this morning.. I woke up sobbing with swollen red eyes.
Had a very bad dream.
:(

Not a nightmare....
No one passed away...

I guess dreaming being scolded, insulted and screamed at are worst than anything else. Especially if all the above done by someone very dear to you.

I'm not sure how my Friday will be today.
Had a soppy start, of course.
I felt so gloomy and triple sensitive.

I feel the pain and hurt.
I don't mind the scolding part...
But the insult...
It hurts badly.

I know its just a dream.
But as if its real.

Ya Allah... As you knows best..
Please protect me and guide me through.
I seek forgiveness for my sins to you and to all the people around me.
Amin.

LilD's Birthday

Naik pening kepala fikir nak beli apa for lilD's birthday. 

She's not the type yang akan hint or cakap awal2 what she wants for her birthday.

Memang agak obvious she loves princesses and Barbie and all yang seangkatan dengannya kan? Well, just sama macam all other girls her age kan?

But, I wanted to buy something yang boleh dia ingat, not as similar as apa yang semua orang dijangka bagi.

Sendiri buat specifications.. sendiri pening kepala.

Then I remember.... the Barbie shop kat Mid Valley. Ada those packages yang dia make over jadi Barbie and all...

My friend pun setuju with the idea. Sebabnya, rasanya masa dia tengah hype nak melayan gedik ni lah best bagi dia experience buat semua ni. Kang dah besar dah busy with school and all.. tak de maknanya dia nak melayan Khalati dia benda2 macam ni.

So... the most challenging part pun bermula.

Finding time to go to Mid Valley.

Sampai sana, terus culik salah seorang SA dalam tu.
Tanya dia macam2 soalan... itu ini begitu begini... timbang tara budget, sponsor bersama and the best logical outcome yang sesuai as a birthday present... I end up with this package for lilD.

Package yang Ayu amik tu, nanti dia dapat bawak balik one mini album. Dalam tu ada 10 keping gambar dia. And also, empat berlainan jenis frames and pictures dia.
Ni semua all in with the make over.

So, I buzz sis for dates yang sesuai nak bawak si lilD ni. Kena la consider her schedule, my schedule as well. Jangan tak tau..calendar saya dah penuh sampai November ye.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

So nice..date dah dapat.
And I grab something simple as well for her. Love it!

For her birthday, Ayu order chocolate moist cake and oreo cuppies from Delicious Cuppies (DC).
Ayu order ni memang teramat last minute... jenuh la pujuk rayu membodek segala.. mana taknya.. it need time kalau kita nak hantar edible image tu. And, I have to wait from my sis & BIL for the picture yang dipilih oleh si kecik tu.. Siap pulak dia nak decide pic lain last minute..
sabar je lah....

Macam bigD dulu gak.. since this is the last year lilD kat kindy... makanya marilah kita menyambutnya at her school.
Ni jugak means, tak de dah lah involvement family ayu dengan school ni. Next year, dah besar anak2 saudara saya...
sobs sobs...

rasa macam baru semalam i tell the world.. i got a nephew! i got a niece! hey.. thats my baby niece..

Ni some of the pics kenangan.

Kami ni terawal pulak sampai dari waktu rehat si lilD..
maka melangut lah ye menunggu. hehe.

masa ni lah ayu merayap amik gambar merata.
yang gambar bawah tu, party pack for the kids.

eh tetiba cikgu bagi green light...
jom masuk class dia bawak cake.. yay!

nyanyi lagu sampai 3 version.
english
melayu
mandrin

tetiba BIL suruh derang nyanyi tamil.
melangut menganga semua budak2 tu..
muka dah cuak takut tak dapat makan cake.
hahahahahaa.....

all in all.. the kids are happy.
birthday girl pun happy. yay!

Can't wait for the photoshoot..
yay!

Happy 6th again lilD.
me love you.
muah muah

Keharuman Cahaya ku ... Cahaya kami....

6 beautiful years
thank you Allah for the most beautiful gift ever to our family...

for my lilD...

May you always have... many things to laugh at
And real good people around with, whom you can have a chat


Things you can dream about, places you want to go
And the money in your hand, that you can always blow


Time for reflection, of ones you hold dear
The courage in your heart, to do this without fear


And may you always know, the love I have for you
but I know in your heart, you know that this is true


This wish is filled, with love and gratitude
For all the nice things for me that you do


Lots of warm wishes, are enclosed too
Wishing you happiness, all the year through

Doa Atie untuk Dania (and your Abang) tak pernah putus sayang...
Semoga Allah always protects both you di bawah lindungan dan jagaannya...
jauh dari segala keburukkan, kemurkaan dan kejahatan....
Semoga Allah senantiasa tetapkan iman the both of you tak kira di mana saja...
No matter what you will go through in this evil world.. no matter how the whole world upsets you... always remember that Allah is always there for you and maybe I'll be the last in the list...but I am always here for you... no matter what.

I love you adik @ Dania @ lilD @ Intan Payung @ Princess

Happy 6th Birthday Sayang...

sharing: HOW RICH ARE YOU?

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.


On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"


"It was great, Dad."


"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.


"Oh yeah," said the son.


"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.


The son answered:


"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.


We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have
a creek that has no end.


We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.


Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.


We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.


We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.


We buy our food, but they grow theirs.


We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."


The boy's father was speechless.


Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."


Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have..


Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your family and friends!


Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.


"Life is too short and friends are too few."
