Away

2010-09-21T12:13:00.003+08:00

Hi people!

I will be away from blogging for now until God knows when. I don't go anywhere. I'm still here in this country and I still work at my working place. My phone number hasn't change. Everything is fine, so don't worry. I just need a break.

If you need to contact me, you know where to find me. :)

Cheers!

Aidilfitri.. Hari Bahgia.. Hari Yang Muliaaa...

2010-09-20T10:18:00.002+08:00

Salam Aidilfitri buat semua pembaca blog ellaiwan! Tatap lah gambar2 raya ini puas2!

*Inilah namanye mengapdet blog sekadar melepaskan batuk di tangga.

Last Day of Ramadan in This Year

2010-09-09T11:45:00.003+08:00

Sebulan sudah. Sedih pulak rasa. Puasa tidak penuh tahun ini, tidak seperti tahun yang lalu. Last year I was pregnant dengan saratnya but Ramadan last year was easy. Mungkin sebab ada Hana dalam perut, so everything went smoothly.

But this year, it was the toughest Ramadan for me, ever. I missed a lot of opportunity. I don't fully utilize peluang2 yang ada untuk mengaut sebanyak mungkin di bulan Ramadan kali ini. I did things that I'm not proud of and regrets haunt me every now and then.

I've done a lot of mistake, and I keep on blaming other people for it. That's my ultimate flaw I guess. All I want is to be happy. I am happy. People say that I should be happy with what I already have. But everything is just not enough.

Ramadan will leave in few hours time. I really hope that I can meet you again next year.

To all readers and friends out there, I would like to wish you selamat hari raya Aidilfitri! Maafkan segala salah dan silap saya. Have a safe journey balik kampung. Semoga kita semua dapat menyambut Syawal dengan penuh keberkatan dan kebahagiaan. :)

Finn Hudson

2010-08-24T12:56:00.006+08:00

Tak perlu lah tenung lama2 sangat.

If you guys still don't get it, I am a big fan of Glee. I was a bit skeptical about the tv series at first, but after watching a few episodes, I'm hooked! No wonder la dia menang Golden Globe.

There's one character that I hate but through out the episodes, it turned out that, "heyy, I actually like him!". Tak lain tak bukan itulah dia Finn Hudson. I hate him when he was with Quinn. Macam typical lelaki bodoh gitu. But when he's done with her (selepas Quinn kantoi mengandungkan anak orang lain) dan terjebak dengan Glee, he then change into a real him. That's when I started to make him as one of my favourite character.

I love love love this song!

I really can't wait for the second season this coming September. Ok sebulan je lagi tak lama dah. Raya dulu puas2. For now, I'll stick to my iPod with Glee soundtrack stuck on replay. Hehe!

So, are you a Gleek too? :)

I'm Just a Poor Boy, I Need No Sympathy...

2010-08-23T12:09:00.006+08:00

Okay too much Glee for 2 blog posts in a row..

I wasn't looking for any kind of sympathy in my previous posts. If I was looking for one, I would write on every details of the tragedy and make a drama swasta out of it. But no, it's not me who go and tell people about my problem. If you still don't get what I mean, I was trying to express my feeling and it has nothing to do with begging for sympathy. It was a coincidence that I have friends who really cares. Too bad if you don't like it.

Anyway people, do you agree with me if I say that woman shares story among their friends? I'm a woman and I know how hard it is for me to keep secrets (but I'm a good secrets keeper tau!). And as a woman who most of her friend is also a woman, I heard so many stories and gossips that I shouldn't have listened to. But it's too good to resist! So my point is, be extra careful when you do bad things because you'll never know when the bitch might spill out all about it to her so-called bffssssss. Haha!

The Reason To Smile

2010-08-18T10:26:00.008+08:00

The reason to smile. :)

Smile (Charlie Chaplin)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by

If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Bring Back The Smile To Me.. Please..

2010-08-16T13:52:00.004+08:00

Someone has been asking me, when I smile, do I still pretending? It could be yes or no. Depends.

Yes, if suddenly I think about the possibilities and things that I can't control. Or whenever I feel like being fooled.

No, if suddenly I realize that I still have some faith left in me. Or whenever I feel like being loved.

Now let me ask you. Could you bring back the smile that I used to have whenever I'm with you?

ALL PEOPLE CANT BE TRUSTED NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU KNOW THEM

2010-08-12T10:12:00.002+08:00

I don't know since when I got this powerful unwanted instinct. But I guess God want to show me something. Maybe He wants me to realize that ALL PEOPLE CANT BE TRUSTED NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU KNOW THEM.

I would prefer if God could just punish the people who betrayed me. But no punishment in this world is comparable to the pain I'm suffering. It really really really really hurts and nothing you can do to heal it. Not a thing. Well, maybe killing yourself can ease me a little but what's the point because I know you wont dare. This is the most extreme frustration I ever had that I swear if it happen again, I won't hesitate to do things that you know you'll regret for the rest of your life.

It will never be the same again. If you see me smile, well that's probably me pretending.

Salam Ramadan dan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa.

We Might Think That We Know Our Husband/Wife, But No We Don't.

2010-08-03T10:55:00.008+08:00

When I heard the news about this one couple, who was in relationship for so long, then they got married for a couple of years, and now were no longer together, I was shocked. It proves that, long-term relationship before marriage won't guarentee a successful marriage afterall. So let me ask you again, how secure are you with your current relationship?

A very safe answer for this would be, we would never know. Today you might say that you have a loving spouse that you trust with all your heart, and the next day your spouse can be the person you hate the most. Simply because, you can't forced other people to stay faithful and honest. NO YOU CAN'T. It's not within your control. Well, maybe a little.. We can try to make them stay faithful but still, it's up to them to pick their options. We are all hopeless.. aren't we?

There's an officemate (who I don't really like sebab suka berloyar buruk) who once told me that (I don't know how could I listen to him on the first place), in marriage, the first year is the most wonderful year of all but it could be very dangerous too. Second year is when everything gets cool. Third year, that's when all the dirty ones comes out. Couple who could pass and survive the third year, there's a high possibility for a much stable relationship later on. Ok, I know that I should not trust words come out from a loyarburukers, but I do think that apa yang dia cakap tu mungkin ada betulnya juga.

Anyway, all I can say is, we as a normal human being, hamba kepadaNya, kita bole berusaha dan bertawakal. I read somewhere in a magazine last week, kenapa kita perlu tawakal? Kita bertawakal so that we won't get hurt and frustrated that much if things turned out not like what we hope for.

NO, YOU CAN'T DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE WITH MY STUFF!

2010-07-29T12:52:00.004+08:00

I believe everyone has some kind of rules applied in their own life. Like for example, if someone takes something from you, it must be returned back as it is, or it must be put back at the exact place where it was taken from. But simple rule as this might not be easy for some people who don't have respect or simply just don't even care other people's feeling.

In my case, I can compromise, well maybe for a couple of times. But if it happens for like, once or twice a month for every month, that can really drive me insane! I feel like my territory is invaded with no respect, and they seems to feel no guilty at all! It's like I was telling them "buatlah lagi!! buatlah lagi!!".

The problem now is, I really don't know how to tell them that invading my territory on regular basis and make all my things like theirs are seriously annoying! I don't understand, I had never and will never do that to them or even to other people for god sake! Why must you take advantage by using my stuff so you can carry less stuff of your own? And how about this, less bag to carry means more other selling-stuff you can bring and more MONEY you can get from it. That's just so selfish!

NO, YOU CAN'T DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE WITH MY STUFF! Takkan la nak cakap TAK BOLEH baru paham? Sendiri tak bole pikir ke? All I need is some respect, because seriously now I started to lose some for you.

Masak Lemak Cili Api, Cendol, Garlic Butter Prawn dan Ikan Pari Bakar (Dah Terliur Belom?)

2010-07-27T12:44:00.008+08:00

Ahad yang lalu, setelah berdepan dengan "regular annoyance" at home (I'll blog about this later), kitorang pergi kenduri my officemate, Juju, kat Seremban. Saya sangat suka sebab ada kuah masak lomak cili api disediakan. Walaupon tak bape lapar, saya makan licin satu pinggan!

Lepas dan kenyang makan dan jumpa pengantin, kitorang malas nak balik rumah terus. Maka idea jalan2 cari makan pon timbul. Apa lagi, cendol kedai 88 Jonker Walk terus muncul di kepala! Slurppp!

With the pengantin.

Cendol dan Ice Mango. Ok diri sendiri pon dah terliur dah ni. Sedap weh gula melaka dia yg pekat itu..

Hana main air.

Percubaan Hana nak socialize.

Giving Hana a taste of eskrem telur.

Comel kan? Sebijik terlur berharga RM2.80. Rasa? So so je la..

Lepas dah makan cendol, kitorang gamble plak pegi ikan bakar Muara Sungai Duyung dengan harapan dia dah bukak kedai. (Masa tu baru kul 5 lebih). Sekali bukak!! Hahahaha!! Siap tulis kat situ kedai start bukak kul 5 petang. Gumbira sangat hati sebab dah la tak ramai orang, bole duduk kat meja mana2 suka hati, nak pilih ikan pon tayah beratur, tak panas, angin laut sepoi2 bahasa. Best kan kan kan kan?

Kucing comel kepala bulat.

Nasi lemak kecik2 tu kan sedap sangat la. Dulu masa pregnant saya bole telan 4 bungkus. Tapi Iwan yang tak pregnant bole telan 4 bungkus at any time!

Butter garlic prawn, pari bakar dan nasi lemak kecik 6 bungkus for the 2 of us.

Tatau la nape nak kena update entry pasal makan ni di hari saya berpuasa. Now have to think what should I have for break fast tonight. Tada!

Girls Day Out!

2010-07-14T13:08:00.007+08:00

Pada hari Ahad yang lalu, dengan tidak disangka2, kitorang keluar macam wanita single gitu. Suami masing2 sibuk dengan hal lain. Tak kisah la kan, yang penting we're having lots of fun!

Dah lama giler kot tak masuk Sunway Lagoon. Maz lagi la kesian tak penah masuk langsung. Haha! Tiket pon sudah mahal melampau. Berpeluh jangan cakap la kan ditambah pulak dengan hujan yang renyai2 bahasa. Hana first time pegi celup2 dalam air, nasib baik aunty Maz sudi membasahkan diri beliau pada hari itu.

Lupa mak dia dah masa nih..

Lepaskan saya!

Lepas aunty Maz dan Hana puas bermandi-manda baru lah jumpa cik Ct kita. Tujuan asal datang situ pon sebab nak jumpa makcik Ct ni la, tapi tujuan asal tu nampak gayanye jauh terpesong sebab jumpa bape minit je pon, lepas tu kitorang terus hilang arah tatau nak pegi mana dan tatau nak buat apa dah. Nak beratur naik roller coaster? Hmm mintak mahap la.. Dah la ramai giler umat manusia ditambah pulak dengan cuaca kejap panas lepas tu hujan dengan tiba2. Last2 kitorang layan main burung je.

Sukanye dapat pegang burung!

Hana takott!!

Mama: Ala Hana jangan la takot.. See, mama tak takot pon! Nampak tak muka mama mana ade takot..

All the single ladies. (Lepas ni kalo kuar bawak 3 stroller plak kot?)

Dah puas main burung, kitorang pon pegi Sunway Pyramid untuk isi perut, but in Hana's case buang isi perut (dalam bahasa pasarnye, berak). Makan, jalan2, shopping dan bergambar bersama Adam AF yo! Lantak korang la nak cakap apa tapi saya minat Adam AF sebab dia kiut?

Hana: This is not my father! He's way too short and his skin is flawless. I want my father back!!

I Can't Take It Anymore

2010-07-05T16:47:00.001+08:00

I have issues actually. It has been lingering in the corner of my mind for too long. I thought that eventually, it would fade away. Who am I kidding. It will never fade away. I'm stucked! Forever.

I wish I could just tell her. I wish she could stop telling me things I don't want to know. How I wish...

I don't want to be a bad person. I hate this hate feeling. Am I being selfish? God help me!

Ini Kisah Lampin Pakai Buang Seorang Anak

2010-07-01T15:34:00.007+08:00

Hari ini mari kita bercerita tentang diapers. Ya, diapers!

*mommy mode is now turned on!*

Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, jenama yang telah diiktiraf sebagai diapers paling bagus dikalangan ibu2 moden ialah MamyPoko. Sekiranya anda masih belom sedar kenapa ia bagus sangat, mari saya beritahu kenapa.

1. Dia lah jenama paling mahal.
2. Dia menggunakan Pooh sebagai ambassador. Orang lain guna gajah, badak, semua takley lawan la.
3. Lembut halus dan mulus.
4. Pelekat velcro yang berkualiti.
5. Tahan kering lebih lama.

Saya penah menggunakan MamyPoko, tapi sebab dia mahal sangat saya keep on searching for other brand yang lebih murah dan setanding dengan MamyPoko. Memandangkan bontot anak saya itu tidak lah sesensitif mana, maka lebih senanglah keje saya membuat eksperimentasi terhadap beliau.

Antara jenama yang penah saya try selain dari MamyPoko:

1. Fitti
- Agak keras. Cutting dia slim so it fits better. Cuma harga tak la semurah mana dah nak hampir sama dengan MamyPoko pon ada.

2. Pureen Dry5 Premium
- Dalam banyak2, bagi saya inilah diapers yang paling hampir nak sama kualitinye dengan MamyPoko. Serious! Tapi tapi tapi, ianya agak sukar ditemui. Kalo tuan2 dan puan2 nak senang, ianya ada dijual di Jusco OU dan Midvalley kat baby's department. Harga dia pon tak murah sangat. Kalo nak beli, tunggu time Jusco buat sale baru berbaloi-baloi.

3. Drypers
- Tak best. Dah la guna pelekat selotep which I dont like.

4. Huggies Dry
- Haa ni murah. Tapi dia macam nipis dan macam kedekut sket rupa dia. Pakai siang okey lah ni.

5. Huggies Dry Comfort
- Macam Huggies Dry tapi lebih comfort (duhh) dan kurang kelihatan kedekut dengan harga yang mahal sedikit dari Dry.

6. PetPet
- Saya amatlah skeptikel dengan jenama ni mula2. PetPet? Macam nama ahli kumpulan Senario tu je kan? Tak bes langsong. Sehinggalah pada suatu hari yang damai, saya berjalan2 di sebuah kedai barangan budak, datang la promoter ni duk bodek saya suh beli. Dia offer baekk punya. Saya tengok sample pon macam okay. Pelekat pon velcro. Try je lah. Hasilnye, memang memuaskan!

Mulai saat itu, saya telah menjadi pelanggan tetap PetPet. PetPet jumbo size 80 keping kalo ada diskaun tinggal RM32.90 sahaja tahu. Bagus kan? Dah la diapers dia kaler purple suit muit gitu. And that's it. Good bye to MamyPoko.

Facebook Annoyance

2010-06-14T13:04:00.006+08:00

Some one in Facebook selling some stuff, and suddenly I have the urge to comment..

What happen next?

She deleted all of my comments and send me this message.

I think that she has blocked me from her Facebook right after seeing this. I can't see her profile anymore (see the profile picture is missing).

Marah betul dia...

Wisteria Lane Top View

2010-06-11T15:34:00.005+08:00

I'm facing a severe writer's block and I don't know why. Perhaps watching too much Glee during lunch time makes my brain works rather slow.

Anyway, I was exploring Google map just now. Tried to search for Wisteria Lane and found this. Hmm.. tatau la bila bole pegi bercuti2 lagi.

Have a nice weekend people!

Totally Lost

2010-06-09T15:47:00.004+08:00

Lost season finale. Jack died heroically. Just great!

It's over... I can't believe it's over.

I found new replacement for Lost. I'm watching Glee now. Haha. Finn is cute though.

Sorry for lack of updates. I really don't have anything to write here. My life is just boring as always. Like, last weekend, while I was cleaning the toilet, suddenly a huge ugly cockroach attacked me! And don't get me started on how I screamed and ran away to save my life.

See, I told ya, my life is boring.

Separation Anxiety Attack!

2010-05-31T17:07:00.002+08:00

Hana has never been clingier than before. She only wants to be hold by familiar faces. I can never leave her alone. She'll be following me where ever I go. She would be happy just to sit there on the kitchen floor watching me do the dishes. And she would cry out loud if she find me no where near her. Doing no. 2 is no longer as peaceful as before. Hana... Hana...

That's just another reason why I love you so much!

4 Wonderful Years!

2010-05-21T17:15:00.003+08:00

It's our 4th anniversary! Happy anniversary, yang!

And we've been knowing each other for 9 years. Sempena ulang tahun perkahwinan yang ke-4 ini, saya letakkan gamba kitorang 9 tahun dolu. In fact, it was our first picture taken together! (Kalo tak silap Maz yang tangkapkan ni, ko ingat lagi tak Maz?)

1st September 2001
Umur baru 18 nih jangan main2!

Kitorang dulu dengan skang lain tau. Dulu keje asyik nak gado jek (menyampah!). Perang jealous jangan cakap la kan. But I personally think that we've overcomed the issue. It taught us to be who we are now. Most probably because only now we actually do trust each other.

I wish that our marriage and relationship will last forever, fill with happiness and most importantly with our family and Allah blessings. I love you, Iwan. And I hope you're happy that you're stuck me (your crazy wife yang suka membebel pok pek pok pek) all this time. Hehe! :)

Team Building @ Langkawi

2010-05-17T08:00:00.000+08:00

Pheww! It was a hectic week. I just got back from Langkawi for team building last week. It's an experience that I won't forget. Kalo nak cerita sini rasanye 3 hari 2 malam pon tak abes. So I'll try my best to cut the long story short. With the help of pictures of course.

On the 1st day.

The first day was quite boring. Most of the activities were done indoor. But I do enjoy the mini amazing race activity. It started with a Sudoku test, followed by riddles and puzzles that we need to solve by finding the answer around the outside area. It was fun! We finished second. Not bad huh?

Bersiap sedia untuk mini Amazing Race.

What I've been anticipating most happened on the second day. Finally, a real outdoor activities! Real challenge and real deal. All activities is handled by abang2 bomba yang takde la hensem sangat pon (Sebab bila sebut abang tu macam hensem je bunyiknye kan? Jangan tertipu.). And for the first time, I do abseiling! I was determined that I will do it. No matter how scary it will be, I must do it. *Tahap konfiden membuak2*

Jangan bagi kayu jatuh.

Jangan bagi kena tali.

I have to climb up hill and rocks, and cross a river to finally get on top. While still trying to catch up my breath, it was my turn to go down the cliff. Terasa sangat2 la mencabar kekuatan lutut. I mean, I was shaking when I saw people look so small down there, dengan batu2, pokok2 di sepanjang perjalanan turun. To make it worse, the person before me just quit sebab lutut tak tahan ketaq. Ish takut sangat ke?

Memang menakutkan! The scariest part of abseiling is the first step of doing it. Nak membaringkan diri agar jatuh sedikit ke belakang, by just hanging on the rope. Ketaq lutut. Even though you have been told like hundreds of times that the rope can stand your 10 x weight (saya belasah je nih), it was so hard for me to let my hand off abang bomba's arm. Haha! But I did it anyway! So yeay!!

Baru lepas turun.

The next activity was building our own raft and have a little race. This was fun too! My team got 4th place out of 9. Ok la tu kan. After the race, we all were given extra 10 minutes untuk melepaskan gian mandi laut. Owh suka sangat! Sebab rasanya macam dah bertahun tak mandi laut. Air tak pasang sangat dan pantai sangat landai. Pasir pon gebu sedap bila dipijak. Owh, lupa nak habaq, kitorang mandi kat Pantai Pasir Tengkorak ~~hang~~. Drebar bas ada cakap, dulu2 ada banyak tengkorak kat situ. Saya cuba jugak carik tapi tak jumpa. Dah jadi pasir mungkin. Anyway, saya sangat2 enjoy mandi laut, but the weather was so hot that I ended up having a headache.

Membina rakit.

Mendayung rakit selaju 1 kilometer sejam.

Semua orang dibelanja makan laksa selepas berpenat lelah mendayung.

Malamnye tu pulak, upacara closing and bbq. All teams have to perform and our performance will be judged dan diberi markah. Performance adalah activity terakhir yang akan diberi markah sebelum menentukan pemenangnya. All teams were given a song randomly. My team dapat lagu rock kapak Pawana from Search. Masa mula2 dapat lagu tu, most of the team members went like "Lagu apa nih? Tak penah dengar pon.." *facepalm*

So malam tu, kitorang impromptu je dengan apa yang ada. Orang lain dapat lagu hits terkini siap menari bergelek bagai, Jai Ho la, Nobody Nobody But You la, lagu industan la. Ni lagu rock kapak ni takkan nak bergelek plak kan? So kitorang buat live band tak berapa nak live je la. Perasan concert double toruble gitu. We rawk the stage yo!!

Amy Search tak dapat datang malam tu. Terpaksa lah Ella yang ganti. Hihu! Owh ya, pakai spek hitam untuk kaver malu. Pegang mikrofon belagak je, hakikatnye miming.

The end result, my team got second place! Hoyeh!

No. 2.

Hoh..

Daa..

Motivational Week

2010-05-07T15:12:00.003+08:00

Wah! Saya sangat busy busy busy.. Hence the lack of update. Facebook pon bole jenguk kejap2 je. Blog apatah lagi. Last weekend pegi Janda Baik bersama2 Iwan and his officemates. Kat sana coverage Digi semput bangat, agaknye orang kuning takut dengan si janda baik mungkin, tu sebab dia tak follow. Kalo tak mesti la saya dah kaw2 update gamba banyak2 sampai korang naik meluat. So how was it? Ok la.. Lagipon saya ni bukan jenis yang suka hutan2 ni sangat. Orang semua gi mandi sungai, saya sedap tido dalam bilik.

This week pulak, saya sebok dengan training Teaming With Passion. Yang ni seronok. Mula2 tu ada la rasa macam alahai boringnye, tapi hamek kau lepas tu diri sendiri yang over. It was great! Ada la gamba ni ha, tapi kabur semacam almaklumlah kamera canggih sangat sampai orang tak reti nak guna. Hihu!

Saya yang kanan sekali.

And today pon busy sket la nak buat testing. Tapi macam lemau je nak buat sebabnye, kat ofis ni sunyi sepi. Semua orang dah balik sebab malam ni nak gerak gi Langkawi plak ada team building. Saya tak ikut derang naik bas malam ni, tapi saya terbang ke Langkawi esok pagi. Fuhh, minggu motivasi sungguh. Kalo tak motivated lagi tatau la...

Okay back to work.

Gaya Tudung Tak Tahan!

2010-04-26T13:28:00.006+08:00

Ada macam2 jenis gaya tudung skang ni kan? Kalo zaman dulu2 susah nak tengok orang yang pakai tudung. Kalo pakai pon, mini scarf pastu ikat kat blakang. Tapi skang dah ramai. Makin lama makin evolve, orang start pakai tudung proper sket tutup leher. Pastu wujud plak tudung bawal yang menjadi satu fenomena ketika itu. I still remember that I brought a piece of tudung bawal ke asrama. Time tu bawal ni tak glemer lagi. Then ada sorang minah ni, not really my friend pon just kenal2 gitu je, bole plak pinjam tudung bawal I tu berminggu2! Kena mintak baru nak pulangkan. Pelik tatau malu ke? Tau la tudung bawal I tu cantek kau nak guna pakai gi deting time prep kan??

Ini gamba kawan baik saya sedang buat muka kiut. Tapi bukan dia yang pinjam tudung bawal saya tu tau.

Owh kat mana tadi? Ha tudung bawal.. Menjadi fenomena sebab semua orang pon pakai tudung bawal. Ada ke orang yg tak penah pakai mahupon tak kenal tudung bawal tu ape? It's the best tudung ever invented in this world. Mudah, tak licin dan bole didapati dalam pelbagai warna! You would never look wrong in bawal, trust me. Tu pon kalo reti pakai elok2 la. Haha!

But now, perasan tak ada satu jenis tudung ni, slowly take over pasaran tudung bawal. Memang dah jadi trend berleluasa dah nih. Apa lagi kalo bukan.... TUDUNG BIBIK! Hahaha!!

Okay kenapa saya panggil tudung jenis serelum ni tudung bibik? Sebab nye, seingat saya la, tudung ni mula dipakai oleh orang2 indon. Sebab dulu time saya gi indon, semua, diulangi, semua orang indon pakai tudung jenis ni. Time tu kat mesia masih lagi trend normal bertudung bawal. Tudung bibik ni, ada jugak yang jenis mahal giler macam Ariani and Munawarah yang mungkin tidak mampu dibeli oleh bibik itu sendiri. Yang berjaya mempopularkan tudung ni tak lain tak bukan, Ekin. Tapi kan, korang pakai la tudung apa pon, kalo dah jenis serelum tuh, seriously I couldn't tell the difference. I do have a couple of Arianis at home (jenis yang paling murah), but I would only wear it when I am btul2 malas. Yes that's it, tudung bibik can also be called as tudung malas. Like seriously, it takes you a merely 5 seconds to wear it and you're done.

Seram tak tengok gamba ni?

Tapi kan, tudung bibik ni ada kelebihan dia jugak. I bought my first tudung bibik when I was pregnant. Dengan niat, nak bawak gi hospital nanti senang. Memang betul pon! Sangat2 berjasa la tudung itu. Kemudian saya gunakan tudung bibik tu untuk diserelum bila ada tetamu2 datang masa dalam pantang. Sekali lagi sungguh berguna! Skang saya gunakan tudung bibik untuk keluar makan nasi lemak di waktu malam, atau pon masa nak gi Tesco Selayang beli pampers. Takpon macam yang saya katakan tadi, time benar2 malas.

Satu lagi tudung baru yang mula mendapat sambutan orang ramai di kala ini. Tudung tak berapa nak cover yang asal usulnye bole saya katakan berasal daripada penyanyi nombor 1 Malaysia. Yang ni tak bole komen lebih2 kot? Kang die-hard fan marah. But still tudung2 yang macam ni lah yang senak mata memandang.

Ni okay lagi. Sekarang dah tinggal topi je.

And last but not least, tudung benjol. Gosh, sejak bila wujud tudung benjol ni hah? Tau2 je ramai plak orang nak tiru. Benjol itu pula semakin lama semakin tinggi dan semakin besar macam ada tumor tumbuh belakang kepala. Some people look okay in that style but most people just look ridiculous. Ditambah pulak lagi skang ni ada plak jenis anak tudung yang melekat kat dahi tu bagi nampak muka jadi booolat. Memang betul2 combo lah namanye tu. Anyway, I found something that you guys might need to know here.

Nasib baik la kau lawa.

If they come to earth now, it wouldn't be a problem anymore. Serelum je tudung and no one knows.

Found this in Facebook. Funny!!

Akhir kata, tutup lah aurat anda tak kira la macam mana pon. Asalkan korang bahagia, aurat terjaga. Tapi jangan la teruk sangat macam tak reti pakai langsung (rebel?). Padahal korang gi sekolah dulu pon pakai tudung jugak kan...

Sekian.

Tampon?

2010-04-14T16:07:00.005+08:00

This post are meant for female readers only. Tapi kalo male readers nak baca pon bole juga cuma korang mungkin akan rasa geli sikit nanti.

One thing that I don't like about not-being-pregnant is of course, the menses. I believe that many would agree with this.

The feeling of discomfort and unhygienic for a week is not what I look for every month. I have to stock up sanitary pads and bring extra to work or whenever I go out, and have to get it change every 4 to 6 hours. Not to mention the heavy flows that may leak and stain your car seat or your bed. To make it even worse, menstrual cramp!

But ever since I gave birth, there's no more cramp or any kind of tummy discomfort. So I guess that's one good thing you can get after bertarung nyawa meneran sepenuh hati dalam labor room. Hehehe! But still, a soaking wet pad down south is just disgusting.

A friend of mine suggested me to use tampon instead. Okay, that never had came across my mind before. Basically I know what tampon is, but the idea of inserting it into our V is kinda err, horror? Eheh. But since I'm already married, had once gave birth, and also even had a PAP smear before, why should I be afraid with tampon now?

So yeah I tried. I used the regular sized o.b. I was hesitant at first but have no choice as I ran out of pads (jakun, I know). Cuma ada o.b tampons je which I bought last month but never use it (penakut). Masih cantik elok dalam kotak tak berbukak. So, sumbat je la kan..

Penemuan baru saya (walaupon benda ni dah lama).

The verdict? I'm impressed! Mula2 feel a little awkward jugak. Maybe I couldn't stop thinking that there's a cotton bullet in me. But moments later, I barely know that I was actually menstruating. Yes, it means that I don't feel a thing! Only now I know that it's comfortable to wear tampon and wearing it allows me to move freely without worrying the pad akan tersenget dan terbocor.

Some info that you might need to know:

- Never leave a tampon inside your body for more than 8 hours.
- Make sure your hands are all washed and clean before using tampon.
- Use the lowest absorbency to meet your needs.

p/s: Rina, apa lagi weh...

... it finally!

I love love love my iPhone! Love it!

I've been using sooo many kind of handphones before and I would say, iPhone is definitely a masterpiece. It's fun and easy to use. Setelah sekian lama mendambakannya, akhirnya dia menjadi milikku.

iLoveit!

iWant ...

2010-04-06T15:22:00.005+08:00

... iPhone.

My current handphone has permanently gone mute since last week. It must be something wrong with the speaker. No wonder lah I miss every single call. To all my friends, sorry if I didn't pick up your calls. Call Miru lah kalo nak cakap dengan I, okay.

I need new handphone obviously. The old one keep giving me the i-want-to-retire signs. It all started with suddenly shutting off by itself, and now the speaker. I know I know, you've served me long enough. Sure I'll find you a much much better replacement, then I'll let you rest in peace. :)

Anyway, the iPhone Digi plan is soooo tempting. Haish!

Lagi lagi berat

2010-04-05T17:04:00.002+08:00

Kat ofis ni ada satu penimbang berat milik seorang hamba Allah. Macam biasa la saya ni pantang nampak penimbang berat mesti tergedik2 nak try. Sekali timbang tengok2 tu diaa.. 51kg. Aritu bukan dah 50kg ke Ella? Haih camne la bole naik balik ni...

Beberapa jam kemudian, hamba Allah ni tanya saya, "Ella, nape awak ni makin kurus?" (Ini adalah soalan wajib setiap hari Jumaat, sebab hari Jumaat saya pakai jeans so nampak kaki seakan slim gitu.)

Saya pon menjawab, "Mana ada kurus tadi baru je saya timbang dah naik.".

"Eh, penimbang tu tak betul! Kena tolak 2 kilo."

"Hah yeke??! Kalo macam tu makin kurus la saya. Yey!"

Sekian.

Hana's Half Birthday!

2010-03-31T11:47:00.003+08:00

Hana is 6 months old. Happy half birthday, my little monkey!

I just have to write this down. Hana started to crawl at the age of 5 months +. Although she can now crawl, dia macam malas2 nak crawl sebenarnya. Sket2 je. Takde la sampai ke dapur tu. Bagus la kan. I think that she find crawling not as fun as standing kot? Sebab pantang dekat dengan apa2 je contoh macam, sofa, kerusi, cot, manusia, pasti akan dipanjatnye nak berdiri. Pastu tak reti nak duduk balik elok2. Silap2 terlentang! Pastu ekk ekkk ekkkk mintak dipujuk.

Yesterday, sempena her special half birthday, for the first time I cooked for her. Pureed bubur nasi with banana and apple. The taste is not that bad la. Mind you, I tasted every food that I would give to her. Macam yang makanan dalam botol Heinz tu, semua saya rasa. Dan memang tak sedap pon. Haha! Kesian baby kena makan makanan2 macam ni.

Ok back to the bubur that I cooked. Hana can't finish it (per serving), not even half. I guess it's because of the gooeyness. Memang macam melekat2 pon. So first attempt - failed! Sedey ok.

Oklah Hana. Whatever pon, mama and abah loves you. Muahh!!!

Pantang?

2010-03-29T15:59:00.002+08:00

Ada lah sorang officemate ni tanya,

"Dulu lepas beranak mesti berpantang betul2 kan? Tu sebab la kurus je."

Nak tergelak aku..

Okla2, I'll tell you my secret.

Pantang makan, berurut, bertungku, berbengkung, sendayu tinggi, marie france bodyline, krim mustajab, jamu malam jumaat psst psst, zipzap u-zap dan lompat katak 100 kali setiap sesi. Ya itulah dia... Semua saya tak buat...

Jangan tiru macam saya tau.

Hana, Cucuk dan Genting

2010-03-28T02:41:00.007+08:00

Pagi tadi Hana pegi spital untuk 6th month check up. Ramai gile orang mak aihh. Lama sangat tunggu giliran sampai sempat la Hana berak, minum susu semua siap.

Berat beliau dah 7 kilo. Takde la menggemuk bagai juara macam kebiasaannya semasa dia berumur 2-3 bulan dulu. Pastu kena cucuk kat peha, menjerit kuat gile mak aih. Terus buat muka tak puas hati selama 3 minit.

Lepas kena cucuk, kitorang gi ikan bakar belakang istana (Jalan Bellamy). Lama gile okay dah tak makan sini. So ni first time bawak Hana. Nikmat memakan ikan keli dan sotong bakar adalah tidak terhingga. Puas hati I!

Lepas lunch, bawak Hana (eceh bawak Hana konon padahal mak bapaknye yang tergedik2), gi Genting. Ni pon dah lama gile tak pegi. Again, it's Hana's first time too. So macam biasa, ronda2 First World, cuci2 mata, lepak Coffee Bean sambil main2 netbook baru. Kat CB tu, ada la satu group foreigner ni, agaknye tak tahan tengok Hana yg terkinja2 tak reti duk diam walau seminit pon, tiba2 mintak nak pegang Hana. Amik lah.. Yang tak tahan nye, Hana elok je duk diam dengan derang. Amboi2 pandai kau berlakon ye?

Then before balik, ambik sket angin sejuk kat area Flying Coaster tu sambil meraikan Earth Hour. Berakhir lah kisah sehari bersama cik Hana di Genting Highlands. Sekian.

Pura2 baik sebab takut ke Hana? Keh keh keh..

Background noise: suara pompuan menjerit2 ~~macam kena rasuk~~ ketakutan ketika sedang menaiki Flying Coaster.

Cejuk!

Earth hour.

Comel nye anak beranak ini kan kan kan??

Ok dah jom balik.

Luahan Perasan

2010-03-26T16:27:00.002+08:00

Sakit tak hati kalo korang marah seseorang sebab orang tu buat salah, tapi korang kena marah balik and last2 korang pulak yang dikatakan bersalah? Ada rasa macam nak membunuh tak?

It happens to me all the time.

Mamam

2010-03-23T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hana is not yet 6 months, but as she's such a big girl now I insist to let her try solids. There was a motherhood expo in Midvalley last weekend, so I grab the opportunity to borong dozens of Heinz baby food in all flavor.

Stok makanan orang takde gigi.

Hana had tasted Sweet Corn + Pumpkin, and Pear. So far she likes it dan mama nya yang excited terlebih! For the time being, I'll only feed her with fruits/veggies or anything from the bottle that stated "4 months above". I didn't cook anything for Hana just yet sebab dia makan pon sket aje. Tak ke macam leceh nak masak nasik 3 sudu.. (Ceh alasannn!!)

Percubaan kali pertama.

Okay, so why fruits and veggies only? At the age of less than 6 months, baby's digestive system is just not ready for complicated type of food like egg or meat. At this point of time, solids are not baby's main consumption. Breastmilk or formula should still be baby's no. 1 diet. The idea of solid food is just like an introduction of new taste and texture for the cute little mouth. And remember, no salt or sugar please! Keep that until your baby's 1st birthday, okay?

Anyway, I had bought the Avent food blender. Cuma bahan mentah dan masa je yang takde lagi. (Lagi sekali alasannn!!)

Duelling Coaster

2010-03-18T16:11:00.007+08:00

I don't know why but I'm itching for a roller coaster ride right now. It's been more than a year since the last ride. Well, the Challenger kat Pesta Penang tahun lepas doesn't count la as it's not a roller coaster pon. I just need some good air-time lift!

Ni semua pasal Universal Studio Singapore lah ni. Everybody is talking about it and planning to go there this year. And for me, I still have no plan. Still figuring out when is the right time to go. Probably in October or November, but definitely not during the weekends or public holiday or school holiday. I would say the main attraction in USS is the Battlestar Galactica duelling coaster. It's duel and inverted! We got 2 awesome features in one go. And it's located just hundreds of kilometers away from here. Isn't it great that we won't have to travel all the way half the globe to be in Universal Studio?

Kepada sape2 yang dah pegi or akan pegi USS dalam masa terdekat ni, please let me know how it is okay.

And you, Battlestar Galactica roller coaster, just wait until I get my butt on you. Haha!

Satria Nemo

2010-03-11T11:48:00.002+08:00

Remember that I drowned my car a couple of months ago? I thought that Neo can swim but I was wrong. It cost us a fortune to repair him. With a spanking new engine block, alhamdulillah Neo has come back to life. From now on, I would like to call him Nemo.

It seems like I don't do justice to Nemo. I was planning to give him a revamp because he deserves it. He still have the "scar" due to the incident of being hit by a motorcycle last year. Poor thing.. I need to send him for ketuk. And perhaps some simple touch ups to renew the look. I had CPS spoiler in mind but I was frustrated to know that CPS spoiler cannot be installed in 1.3 Neo. Damn! Have to find other spoiler lah..

And owh, I gave Nemo a small present last week, for being such a good car for the past 2 years. A spanking new rims. He looks more handsome now. Kalah Keanu Reeves.

Photo of Nemo will be updated later later lah. Tunggu siap revamp baru letak.

Randomness

2010-03-02T15:28:00.005+08:00

Korang penah tak lapar gile waktu malam tapi takde benda nak makan, pastu korang simpan niat korang nak makan esok pagi nye time sarapan? Saya penah.

Sape pompuan gemok annoying gile dalam rancangan Terjah TV3 tu? Eeii tak bole dengar la dia gelak!

Tadi masa beli air epal asam boi kat cafe, terdengar lagu Yuna. Siyes tak bes. No offense. Tapi air epal asam boi bes.

Walaupon anak saya tak terjaga di malam hari tapi tatau apesal saya sendiri yang akan otomatik terjaga kul 5 pagi. Owh ya, sebab saya nak gi buang air kecil rupanya.

Sedapnye epal asam boi.

Baru nak start tengok Survivor Samoa. Apsal tah rasa macam boring pulak. Same old same old. Mungkin kerana taksub dengan Lost kot buat masa ni. Bole tak nak skip tengok Survivor Heroes vs Villains je?

Alamak epal asam boi dah nak abes.

Balik kang nak makan nasi kandar Pelita. Lama dah tak makan.

Tau tak sebab apa saya lapar tak tentu pasal malam tadi? Sebab saya tengok Warung Kita. Ada asam pedas, pari bakar, butter prawn dan yang paling penting skali, chili crab! Saya. Mahu. Chili crab.

The idea of mengidam chili crab tak tentu pasal pula adalah sebab tertengok Best Wan kat AFC channel. Chef Wan masak chili crab sempena tahun baru Cina.

Asyik cakap pasal makan je kan. Baiklah berhenti di sini dulu.

Tapi sebelum tu, kat mana ada chili crab sedap?

Boring

2010-02-27T23:45:00.003+08:00

Boringnye duk umah ngadap muka mama. Nape abah dengan mama tak bawak saya jalan2 hari ni?? Haihh..

Timah's Bollywood Wedding

2010-02-24T13:57:00.004+08:00

Finally Kajol is married to Shah Rukh Khan. Congrats to both of you!

Kuch kuch hota hai!

Timah was my schoolmate and my unimate. So attending to her wedding last week gave me the opportunity to meet friends from two different circles.

Utpians.
Percubaan uncle Roslik mendukung bayi. Yang tak tahannye tu aunty Mawar siap tolong ajarkan lagi cara2 mendukung baby dengan betul (almaklumlah dah byk kali prektis kann).

Schoolmate yang dah lama gile tak jumpe.

Sebab dah lama tak jumpa and we never really keep in touch with each other for over a decade, that might explain why they still presume me as Ella yang gila zaman sekolah kot. Ada ke dia (the one in black tudung) bole tanya saya "Reti ke ko jaga ni Ella?" (as referring to my baby Hana). Saya sangat terpukul dengan soalan itu.

My answer is: Reti la wei.. Aku dah 27 la bukan 15 lagi!!

Tak dapat McLaren F1, dapat Maclaren Quest Mod pon jadi lah..

2010-02-10T10:34:00.005+08:00

It's actually up to you, how comfortable you are in bringing you baby out. One of the berpantang rules, is to never go out within the 44 days of confinement period. Well, I find this bullshit. I didn't exactly follow the berpantang rules after all, so I had started bringing Hana out while she's just 1 month old. And it's not that easy because she's still so small and fully breastfeed. We are getting used to it and Hana is much more easier to handle as she's a big baby now.

The most essential item in taking our baby out is of course, the stroller. Even before Hana was born, we already got ourselves a stroller sebab kitorang dah tak sabar2 nak bawak anak gi jalan2. And to be honest, kitorg dah siap berangan dan selalu ushar2 stroller even before I was pregnant! Yes, we had made a decision on which stroller to have before Hana was even exist. The stylish, compact, light-weight and easy-to-fold Maclaren.

Quest Mod

What I need a stroller for?

- Senang nak bawak anak jalan2. Takyah nak dukung all the time.
- My baby can sleep comfortably in the stroller while mak bapak masih lagi bole continue berjalan2.
- Untuk dijadikan tempat meletak barang2. You know baby stuff like diaper bag. Kalo gi shopping leh sangkut shopping bag(s) kat situ skalik. Senang!

Tido tanpa memperdulikan ibu bapa.

So why Maclaren?

- Light and small (ini penting sebab nak masukkan dalam boot Neo yang super sempit tu).
- Sturdy.
- Compact umbrella fold.
- Stylish and trendy (tapi saya punye design lama).
- Bole sangkut macam2 kat handle dia.
- Durable and proven! (Lalu la jalan berbatu2 berlobang2 naik turun kapal terbang campak sana campak sini skali pon, still allignment tak lari I tell you).

Picture of Maclaren Quest Mod is Googled.

Tatau Nak Update Apa

2010-02-09T15:12:00.003+08:00

Oleh itu, saya letak gamba yang bole dikatakan menarik ini. Sekian.

Padah tido kat mesjid.

Merampas? Dirampas? Salah Siapa?

2010-02-04T10:00:00.000+08:00

How many of you does hate Memey, Fasha Sandha, Waheeda or even Tok Ti? All these women have one thing in common - (yeah you guess is right...) perampas laki orang. Sebab benci sangat pada mereka2 ini maka wujudlah haters page kat Facebook bagai cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan.

From my observation, most of the haters are woman. Yes, woman hate other woman who steal other woman's man. Simply because, they don't want the same shit to happen to them. Ada ke perempuan yang suka laki dia kena rampas?

To hate these perempuan-yang-taknak-ngaku-rampas-laki-orang is just a waste of energy. Saya mengaku saya menyampah dengan mereka, tapi saya lebih menyampah dengan lelaki2 mereka. Like I said earlier, takde sape pon suka laki kena rampas. But for me, I just hate orang yang dirampas tu even more. Macam bodoh ke ape sukarela biarkan diri dirampas? Dirampas lah sangat! Ngaku je la yg diri tu miang dan perasan diri lebih bagus konon2nye deserve a better woman.

Kenapa nak carik orang lain sedangkan kau dah kawen? Pastu bagi seribu satu alasan yang dah naik muak kita dengar. "Hanya saya yang tahu perangai isteri saya. Tak perlu lah saya ceritakan di sini." Kalo la banyak songeh sangat, then ceraikan dia awal2 so that it doesn't hurt much as compared to korang ceraikan dia sebab dah ada yang lain. Get it?

Conclusion, perempuan yang ngendeng kat laki orang lain is wrong. But people who look for other man/woman while they're still married is double wrong. It shouldn't happen in the first place. To get a divorce just to be with your new found so called lover, is not something you should be proud of. It just explain the kind of person you are, a distrustful person.

Pastu kita tak payah la nak kesiankan bekas2 isteri yang kena tinggal ni. In fact, I'm glad that they no longer have to live with those irresponsible jerks for the rest of their life. Daripada menderita lama2, baik berpisah je. So buat ape nak kesian kan? I always believe that setiap perkara yang berlaku adalah ketentuan tuhan, dan pasti ada hikmah di sebaliknye.

Barbie

2010-02-01T13:14:00.006+08:00

Barbie has always been my favorite toy when I was a kid. I had quite a collection before but when I went to university, my mother gave it all away to friends and relatives. The only one left now is the Kebaya Barbie that Iwan bought for me years ago.

The only one left.

I didn't know that Barbie now has many types of labels and editions until yesterday. They now have Black Label Barbie, a special collection for adult. They're all gorgeous!

Barbie Basic. It's time to bring your inner child out. Customize, personalize and play!

Owh I can't wait for Hana to grow up so that we can play Barbie together! Sebab kalo nak beli sekarang Iwan tak bagi, so tunggu la nanti Hana dah besor, I'm gonna use her as an excuse to get me one of those.

Nanti abah belikan Hana Barbie ek.. Pwetty please...

Ujian

2010-01-21T17:06:00.003+08:00

Hmm...

Saya rasa saya ni banyak buat salah kot. Pastu lupa diri.

Tuhan bagi ujian kat saya.

Help me.

:(

Kereta Oh Kereta...

2010-01-20T08:23:00.007+08:00

Saya sedih ni...

Kereta saya masuk workshop.

Sebab kelmarin kereta saya koma secara tiba2 setelah meredah banjir kilat kat area kawasan rumah saya.

Doktor cakap teruk jugak kereta saya tu. Kena buat pembedahan serius.

Tapi saya nak cerita nih. Masa kereta saya koma tu, sib baik lah ada beberapa orang pemuda generasi hebat yang sangat baik hati tolong tolak kereta saya ke tepi dalam hujan lebat. Baik tak mereka? Terima kasih yang teramat sangat buat saudara2 sekalian.

Pemuda2 tersebut ialah pemuda2 yang naik motor. Yer, hanya pemandu motorsikal je yang sanggup tolak kete dalam hujan. Adakah pemandu kereta sanggup berbuat demikian? I don't think so.

Mulai saat ini, saya akan cuba menjadi lebih sopan dan prihatin terhadap pemandu motorsikal.

Doakan kereta saya cepat sembuh ye. Sob sob~ :(

Friends Forever

2010-01-14T13:09:00.000+08:00

Everyone has friends. Sape takde tu kira katak bawah tempurung kelapak la. But not everyone has true friend, am I right?

When I was in primary school, I have few kawan kamcing. My classmate aka my tablemate (sekolah rendah kan meja sambung2) was so freakin awesome. She's one happy go lucky kid and she can laugh the whole day and I don't know whether she ever feel sad at all. Maybe we're just a kid, so mana la ada nak frust2 putus cinta ke ape kan? I do really enjoy those moments. I could say that I was one happy kid back then because of her.

I also have kawan sekampung/setaman who went to the same school with me. We usually hangout together main2 kat taman permainan or lepak at each other's place or kayuh basikal sampai kena kejar anjing. We're so close together we had never miss exchanged birthday gift every year! We always back each other up especially when boys were involved. Hehe!

In secondary school, I met more awesome friends! Just imagine I was 13, going to high school, jumpa kawan sekapla, dengan abang2 seniors lagi. We are talking about a serious culture shock here. Huhu! It was the happiest 3 years of highschool years ever!! Highschool rocks!!!

Then come the terrible years of my life. I went to school in Penang for 2 years (for SPM), and I don't know was it just me or the people around there were just... weird. Bayangkan I just entered the school for a week and no one knows me and they already labeled me as playgirl? Hello!! Adakah sebab aku tak bercakap dalam loghat utara so aku playgirl? And the seniors sucks! They always find a way to get me. Urghh!! Annoying gile! Kawan2 kat sini plak, one day she can be your BFF and the next day she's your biggest enemy. I never really trust anyone here and as a result, I changed click quite often. And owh, the boys sucks too. Most of them mulut macam hamjadah. But the one I was with was quite erm.. kind to me. Walaubagaimanapun, the food here is undeniably delicious. Nak cakap jugak tu.

To be honest, I learned about true friendship when I went to university. Again, it was a big mistake to trust people you just know. This so called friend stab me at my back when I trusted her with my whole heart. I couldn't find a reason why she did that to me. Jealousy? Yeah I think that's it. Thanks to you, I really learn a life lesson here. Setiap yang berlaku ada hikmahnye, I believe that.

Do I hate her? A little.. Yes I do hate her at first, but then when karma interfere, I cannot help myself but to smile. Obviously, what she gave to me she gets it back. Nope, I didn't do anything except watching karma do its thing from far away. To cut long story short, they have been expelled from the university. How I cannot be happy with that?

I was grateful to have Iwan and my wonderful friends around me that sometimes I think that I don't deserve them. They had helped me a lot in many ways and maybe they didn't know this but they taught me to be a better person. Although sometimes (ok tipu most of the time) I was being selfish dengan asyik2 kuar dating jek, takpon bangun tido lambat gile, takpon main game tengok tv pasang lagu kuat2, they still always be there backing me up. Contoh, derang sentiasa update saya with classes, bagi tiru assignments dan kadang2 tolong sign attendance sheet. Baik tak kawan2 saya? Saya amat terharu. And they had never ever come against my personal relationship with Iwan. Macam "lantak kau la Ella pandai2 la kau jaga diri". Tak macam some girls yang akan cakap that man is a jerk tak sesuai dengan kau bla bla bla. Or lagi teruk tak cakap ape2 pastu tikam belakang tanpa rasa bersalah.

So, to my buddies out there (you know who you are), you guys are the best! Saya menjadi lebih sopan selepas berkawan dengan anda2 semua percaya atau tidak? Owh, I'm blessed! I miss all the wonderful memories we had together in UTP. Still remember this?

- Outing naik bas Perak Roadways gi Ipoh.
- Naik bas gi pasar malam Taman Maju pastu kena tinggal bas.
- Buat projek Malaysian Studies dengan budak2 Turkmenistan.
- Bukak pose ramai2 kat bilik Yah and Dee kat Etana.
- Bancuh nescafe dalam botol mineral.
- Layan cerita Full House pagi petang siang malam.
- Main game Revolt yang comel.
- Gi sahur kat depan UTP naik blakang Bigfoot Miru.
- Bersuka ria di Teluk Batik.
- Main bowling tiap2 hari masa final year.
- Main2 dengan kucing fellow.
- Mandi swimming pool.
- Main Hangaroo tiap kali balik class sampai naik hafal.
- Menang rumah terbaik! Dapat hadiah water purifier yang sangat berjasa iteww.

Banyak lagi lah!! Tak daya nak tulih semua kat sini.

I hope that this friendship will last forever. Love you guys! *Hugs* :)

Sape Lagi Cantek? Sape Lagi Ntah Apa2?

2010-01-05T16:39:00.003+08:00

Saya tengah boring jadi nak tulis blog.

Malam semalam saya tengok Awan Dania. Btw, saya suka la Dania pakai baju kemeja kotak2 nampak macam sempoi sampai saya sendiri terbeli baju kemeja kotak2 weekend lepas semua terpengaruh punya pasal.

Bukan nak cite pasal kemeja kotak2, tapi nak cakap pasal episod malam semalam. Kan Dania jadi face of Firefly dalam cite tu, pastu seperti biasa lah mesti ada watak dengki kan. Pastu watak dengki ni mesti claim tak paham nape la Dania yang tak cantik tu terpilih sedangkan dia lagi cantik. Walaupon kita patut positif terhadap diri sendiri, tapi we should know the difference between being positive dan perasan bagus ye kawan2.

Penah tak korang menghadapi situasi seperti ini?

"Aku tak paham nape mamat tu nak sangat kat pompuan tu? Aku dengan dia sape lagi cantek?"

Kalo korang kena tanya macam tu ape korang jawab? Nak jawab ikhlas ke tak ikhlas? Kalo kawan korang tu sememang nye cun melecun senang la nak jawab. Tapi kalo kawan korang masuk dalam kategori perasan bagus tadi bagaimana?

Perbualan begini sepatutnye berlaku kat belakang2 supaya orang tak dengar bukan? But you know what, I've been through the exact same situation, cumanye sayalah orang yang kena compare tu.

Minah: Haa tu... Tu la dia...
(Sambil tunjuk muncung ke arah gua. Gua perasan sebenarnya tapi buat2 tak perasan lalu memasang telinga.)

Minah: Cantek ke?

Kawan minah: Hmm... Ko putih lagi la...

Tatau la nak marah ke nak gelak. Tapi rasanye lebih pada nak gelak kot sebab:

- Kat situ jugak la derang nak ngumpat. Kot ye pon balik kang la sambung ngutuk saya sambil minum kopi ke ape.
- Takkan la kawan minah nak cakap "Wow cun nya! Memang cun ~~barang Malaysia~~". Kecik plak hati member kang.
- Saya tau la saya tak putih.
- Tapi macam kelakar la sebab kaler menjadi ukuran.
- Maksudnye dia menang tang kaler je la kan??
- Mesti derang ingat saya tak dengar. Kalo lah derang tau saya dengar, agak2 minah tu malu tak?

Ok tu je la nak cite.

Owh sebelum tu nak cakap, people who thought that man will only look for beauty are just... shallow.

Ok bye.

New Year Activities

2010-01-02T00:14:00.007+08:00

We can't continue our yearly routine to celebrate NYE at Genting as usual. You know why lah kan..

Instead of going all the way up to Genting, we just settle down here in KL. We planned to watch fireworks from Iwan's office building. So it will be a comfortable show for the three of us. Tak dapat la nak duk dekat2 macam kat Genting sampai kelongsong bunga api jatuh atas kepala. Unfortunately, Hana slept all the way from 2009 to 2010. Bunyik boom boom boom pon dia buat tatau je. So melepas la dia... Anyway, fireworks in KLCC was great!

Mama: Hana tanak bangun tengok bunga api ke? Penat je datang ofis tengah2 malam ni tau.

Today, we have our lunch at Pepper Lunch in Pavilion. I loveeeee it!!!!!! The food is served on a very hot plate and all we need to do is to cook the food ourselves and season it our way. Isn't that awesome?! I definitely will come here more often after this. Ish sedap lah!

The menu.

Sauces, salt and pepper. Season it your way!

Makanan sampai berasap2. You can hear it sizzle.

Chicken Pepper Rice

Kacau kacau kacau macam nak masak nasik goreng.

Double Terikyaki Burger Steak

Terbalik2 kan sket daging tu dan masak ikut selera anda.

Hello 2010!

2010-01-01T10:00:00.002+08:00

First of all, happy new year to everyone! Yeehaaaaa!!!!

Ok now let's do some reality check. Here's my last year resolution.

1. To be able to control my anger towards everything. Lately, I find out that I get mad easily even on small matters like, a stupid motorcyclist who honked me far away from behind, just because I gave signal to show that I was going to change lane. That is what a signal is used for, so you can brake when necessary and save your life from getting hit by a car.

In other words, I want to be calm and positive and stress-free as much as I could.

Still working on this one. But I would say that I'm a less-furious person than I am before.

2. To be healthier by exercising more. I feel weak in this 46kg body. But I honestly think that this is the hardest to achieve. In fact, I kinda like the way I am now - a lazy bum.

No exercise at all! But I have a good excuse for this - I was pregnant. And I think I may have to drop this one this year as I can't see myself going to the gym when my little baby requires me more.

3. To spend less on luxury stuffs and save more for a trip to one of my "to-go" places. Can't wait!

I didn't spend money on luxury stuff, and I managed to go for a holiday trip to Hollywood. Yey!

4. To find a better job as one of the way to achieve no. 1.

I've got a new job, a better one in terms of satisfaction. Alhamdulillah.

5. And maybe to be friendlier to improve my social life. Aku ni kan sompong. Haha!

I guess I am friendlier now. I make more friends and they are great people.

So this year resolution would be just a simple one.

1. To be a good mother to my baby Hana.
2. To do well in my new career dan bekerja dengan hati yang ikhlas.
3. To add more roller coaster credits. That also means another great vacation!

Ok tu jer.. Kalo korang perasan takde resolusi untuk kurus tahun ini. Sekian.

Goodbye 2009

2009-12-31T13:00:00.000+08:00

Let's recap 2009...

I wish I can forget:

- Worked at Maybank for 6 bloody months.

- My car being hit by a lesen-tatau-mana-dapat motorcyclist.

- Quit my job and being jobless for few months.

- Gained extra kilos and achieved normal BMI. Wait, this should be a good news right?

I wish to remember this forever:

- Celebrated NYE at Genting. Watched fireworks real close.

Few weeks before the positive sign appears on the pregnancy test kit.

- Make new friends at Maybank. They are bunch of good people. Love you all!

Kenduri Mek Yah.

- I was pregnant!

- Travelled all the way to Hollywood! Went to Disneyland Aneheim, California and Universal Studio Hollywood! Shopping sakan di Camarillo Premium Outlet. The best!!!

Disneyland.

- OMG! I've been to Wisteria Lane, people!!

Peminat setia DHW dengan muka tak bole blah.

- Maz and Fairuz wedding in Kedah, jalan2 cari makan in Penang after that. Pekena nasi kandaq Beratoq.

- Watched Manchester United in Bukit Jalil, live!

- Got a job! Yey!

- Baby Hana's arrival!. ;)

Hello!

Dear 2009,

It was a challenging yet most beautiful year for me. My career was a roller coaster and I am juggling between job and the growing tummy. But it doesn't matter anymore as now I have the cutest creature on my lap, smiling at me every time I see her.

Anyway, you have been the most special year to me! Marked on 30th September, my first child, baby Hana, was born into this world. My life turns upside down but I couldn't be any happier. So, you Mr. 2009, is officially a year to be remembered from now on and to the rest of my life.

Looking forward for a better future with your friend 2010. One of our target next year is to add on at least 3 more credits to our RC credit list. So bye bye now, 2009!

YES and Deep Fried Mars Bar

2009-12-28T14:06:00.008+08:00

I desperately need new working attire and a pair of nice decent shoes. YES is a good excuse to go crazy! But shopping can't be as easy as before. With a baby to look for, shopping must be quick yet efficient!

Shopping for new clothes and pants is just tedious. I hate waiting in line for fitting room, and I hate getting undress and re-dress again. Nak bukak tudung pakai balik bukan senang. So what I usually do is, I'll pick like dozens of clothes and pants with different sizes and colors for one try. If none of them is good enough, my mood will all get ruined and I'll just stop looking for more. Seriously, browsing through from clothes to clothes can make me go dizzy.

Last weekend, we did some shopping (with plenty of window shopping in between) sampai kaki rase nak tercabut. From KLCC to Midvalley, From The Gardens to One Utama. Did I tell you that I got nothing else to wear to the office other than baju kurung? On our 1st day of shopping spree, I failed to find any clothes just because I was distracted by the massive sales at the baby's department. Haihh.... Tapi tak bole tahan la gewammm!!!! Somebody please stop me!!

And yesterday, after God-knows-how-long I've refrained myself from buying shoes, finally I find one nice off-white peep toe that is so perfect I want to buy it right away. Siap ada 20% diskaun lagi.

TAPIIIIII.............. TAKDE SAIZ!!!

Dem dem dem!!

Maka tadi during lunch hour, dengan takde rase bersalahnye, I went to Midvalley to hunt for the same shoes sebab hati tak tenang. And yes they have them in size 5 (melompat2!).

TAPIIIIIII............. TAKDE DISKAUN DAH!!!

-_-!

And also yesterday we finally got to try deep-fried Mars bar at New York New York Deli. All this while I just heard people talk about it. Macam tak percaya, tapi bila NY2Deli bukak kat OU, terkejut jugak bila ternampak deep fried Mars bar on their menu. Memang betul2 wujud rupenya! Asyik simpan niat nak cuba tapi tak cuba2 jugak. Tapi bila tengok makcik Reena gi makan kat situ, dan2 kitorang pon tergedik2 nak gi makan situ jugak. Hiha!

Enjoy the pics!

Mama: I love Christmas deco.

Hana: I love these two guardian bunnies.

Hana: Kita nak gi mane ni? Excitednye!

Abah: Nak gi teman mama shoppim!

Posing style baru pandang sisi agar tampak lebih kurus.

Hana: Boringnye shopping.. Tido lebih baik.

New York New York Deli

Our drinks of the day. Chocolate latte and sparkling strawberry.

Macam ni la rupenya deep fried Mars bar tu. Bole tahan la. Agak liat sedikit, ermm banyak.. Huhu!

Kesayangan beta.. :)

Pesta Penang

2009-12-22T19:17:00.007+08:00

Last weekend pegi Penang. Tapi kejap je lepak sana. Walaubagaimanapun, sempat gak kitorg gi pesta. Last time pegi masa tu belom kawen lagi kot.

Kat pesta tu ada kucing. Comel tau kucing tu. Tak caye tengok ni.

Ella: Kat mana funfair?
Kucing: Situ..
Ella: Biar betul..

Iwan: Mane??
Kucing: Situuuuuu!!!!

Ella: Abes tu yang feris wheel lip lap lip lap kat sana tu ape?
Kucing: Mane?
Ella: Tuuu....
Kucing: Dah tau lagi mau tanya.

Ella: Yela yela, nah minum ECPI ni. Baik untuk kesihatan.
Kucing: Glup glup glup..

Iwan: Ok dah jom gi funfair same2.
Kucing: Jom!

We on Challenger ride. Weeeeeeee~

Ngap!

Gemok

2009-12-17T16:36:00.001+08:00

Saya kan, tatau la berat saya ni bole turun balik kepada berat asal atau pon tidak.

Saya suka kurus sebab saya rasa badan saya ringan. Takde bahagian yang menonjol lalu rase macam selamat dari pandangan2 liar sesetangah pihak. Pastu saya suka kaki kurus saya dulu. Sebab kaki saya pendek, so kalau kaki kurus bole bagi illusi nampak macam kaki saya panjang.

Masa pregnant, berat saya naik dan terus naik tak henti2 sehingga mencecah 66 kilo. Cakap di mulut je konon risau la gemok, padahal makan tetap tak ingat dunia. Lepas beranak turun la jugak tapi turun sampai 55 kilo sahaja. Tapi nampak gayanye macam tamau turun2 je dah ni. Lemak tepu mungkin.

Tapi saya tetap tidak berdiet kerana saya tak reti dan saya tak berapa kisah pon. Okay jugak kot berwajah baru macam ni. Terasa macam mantap pon ada. Cuma saya agak terkilan kerana dah tak muat nak pakai jeans saiz 27 dan baju saiz S saya. Terpaksa pakai baju kurung tiap2 hari dah macam orang keje kerajaan plak. Kalo dah namanya pakai baju kurung tu makin terserlah la ciri2 keibuan saya nih. Dalam erti kata lain, macam makcik2.

Tapi kan, ofismet2 saya cakap saya dah kurus. Ada sorang tu pulak, tak caya saya baru lepas beranak. Kembang sikit bontot saya yang dah sedia kembang tak kuncup2 ni. Ye la, derang tak kenal saya masa zaman saya slim dulu. Oleh itu saya buat kesimpulan bahawa saya ni tak la gemok sangat. Kan kan kan? So tak perlu lah saya nak diet2. Sekali sekali badan berisi pon apa salahnye.

Dalam hati...

.
.
.

*Uwaaaaaaa!!!! Nak kurus balik!!!!!!!*

p/s: Esok nak pi jalan2 cari makan di Penang.

Roller Coaster Credits

2009-12-11T15:52:00.010+08:00

I just learned something from Iwan about "credit", how we count our credit for every roller coaster ride we went on. So I feel like making my own record here. I hope that I can add more and more credit before I reach 30, because I'm worried by that time I would be just too scared to go on rides like X2 or Kingda Ka or Superman The Escape. Even now I don't know whether I have the guts to go on those ride. Heh.

Erk! Berani ke naik ni? *telan air liur*

Orang Malaysia Ni Sopan Ke?

2009-12-07T15:37:00.003+08:00

Panas je hati bila memikirkan orang2 yang kurang sopan di muka bumi ini.

Situasi A:
Dalam kedai Sinma yang sempit penuh dengan rak gantung sepit rambut dan segala macam mak nenek accesories. Seorang ibu mengandung sedang membelek2 la barang2 di dalam kedai itu. Pastu ada la minah ni nak lalu tapi tak muat mungkin sebab gemuk agaknye lalu berkata, "Tepi sket...". I can't believe it! Takde sape penah ajar dia ke cakap "excuse me" ke, "tumpang lalu" ke.

Situasi B:
Dalam lift ada 3-4 orang, pastu kita dari luar terkejar2 nak masuk lift sebab pintu dah nak tutup tapi takde sekor pon dalam lift tu ada usaha nak tolong tekankan butang open.

Situasi C:
Penunggang motorsikal yang tak reti undang2 jalan raya, memotong sebelah kanan kereta yang nak masuk simpang kanan. Pastu gi mintak ganti rugi kat driver kereta.

Situasi D:
Pemandu perempuan bawak Honda Civic hitam, tengah beratur nak kuar simpang tiga sedang mengikut bontot sebuah kereta di hadapannya. Dia nampak macam kereta depan dia dah nak kuar tapi kereta depan dia takley nak kuar terus sebab ada plak kete Kancil-lesen-tatau-mana-dapat main potong je kuar simpang. Oleh kerana si pemandu Honda Civic ni tak cukup cekap nak pijak brek kereta mungkin sebab kaki tak cukup panjang, maka terlanggar la sket bontot kete depan dia. Conversation is as follow:

Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: Takde ape2 kan..
Bontot kena langgar: Ye la. Tapi nape langgar??
Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: Tak pasan tadi ingatkan dah nak kuar.
Bontot kena langgar: U nampak tak Kancil tu potong I?
Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: Nampak.
Bontot kena langgar: (Tak puas hati) Abes tu nape langgar??
Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: Tapi kete U takde ape2 kan?
Bontot kena langgar: (Tak puas hati lagi nehhh) SO?!
Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: So ok la ek. Thank you.
Bontot kena langgar: Thank you jek?!!
Pemandu Civic kaki pendek: Ok, sorry.
Bontot kena langgar: Haa susahnye nak cakap sori.

Mana la budi bahasa orang2 ni semua ek? Teringin nak tau sekolah mana derang pegi.

Universal Studio Singapore. Anyone?

2009-11-14T23:46:00.005+08:00

I just realize that it's almost the end of the year, and 2010 will arrive soon. And also that means the opening of Universal Studio Singapore is just around the corner. Since I noticed one of my friend's Facebook status with a remark on USS , I can't think of anywhere else but Singapore for my next vacation.

I found out that there are premier attractions that is unique to USS. So I don't have to worry about getting bored of looking at the same thing I've seen before in Hollywood (ye ke bole boring?). Haha! Last time, I wasn't able to go on the Revenge of the Mummy ride because I was 3 months pregnant. The same ride is available in USS so apparently this is my chance. And owh, I can't wait to go on this too!

I just hope that the food is halal, so takde la amik bau sahaja nanti.

So, sape nak gi USS next year?

Happy Birthday Mama!

2009-11-05T14:26:00.005+08:00

Ibu mithali ibu yang sejati.. Tak tahan!

I celebrated my 26th birthday (3rd November 2009) as a first time mother! Baby Hana is the best gift I ever have. Just look at her, who can resist those beautiful eyes!

Suka buat muka comel tau. Nak marah pon tak sampai hati.

Ni nak cite sket pasal birthday haritu. Ada orang tu kan, dia bole lupa birthday saya. Menyampah btul. Sib baik la ada alarm reminder kat handphone dia tu. Kalo tak sampai ke tahun depan la dia tak ingat. Pastu konon nak amik hati gua balik, dia belikan kek Secret Recipe sampai 3 jenis yang berjaya saya abeskan dalam masa 3 hari berturut2. Haihh camne la nak kurus kalo macam ni?

Ouch!

2009-11-03T13:57:00.006+08:00

Yes, that's the sound that I make whenever I feed my baby. It hurts! At first, I just ignored the pain because I just thought that there's nothing I can do with it and hope that somehow it will disappear by itself. But I was wrong. In fact it just getting worse and worse. Until one day, I was down with fever and Panadol won't do any better. Fever and sore breast both at the same time, believe me, you don't want to know.

I did some research on the Internet and found out that I might have an infection based on the symptoms that I had. Ok, that freaks me out. I went to a doctor and she prescribed me with pain killer and antibiotics. And the remedy for sore nipple is to apply some amount of our own breastmilk to the affected area. She also reminds me to keep on feeding my baby no matter how painful it will be.

I need to write this thing down as a reminder to myself and perhaps as useful tips for you guys.

My findings are:

1. It's very important to know how to breastfeed your baby in a correct way. It's a learning process to both mother and baby. I find this breastfeeding guide really helpful. Last time I don't really care with my sitting position and I just let the baby to latch on her own in any way she likes. Big mistake.

2. Engorged breast can be treated by massaging it around with a warm cloth. This will encourage milk flow and also to avoid milk duct blockage.

3. Nipple cream is really unnecessary. Dah la mahal giler satu tiub kecik sampai RM40 (lebih baik makan Nandos lebih mengenyangkan). And takde la work la magic pon. Like I mentioned earlier, just apply a small amount of your own milk after every feeding. Lagi mujarab tau!

4. Go and see a doctor right away whenever you have breast pain and fever occuring at the same time. You really need antibiotics to fight the infections.

Okay now, sape nak blanje aku Nandos?

Hello Hana!

2009-10-12T13:00:00.002+08:00

I bet most of you wants to know the experience I was facing in the labor room. And I would love to share it with all of you. :)

But before I start, I would like to state here in my blog that I really miss my pregnancy. Only now I realize how I love being pregnant! No menses for the whole 9 months, dapat puasa penoh, and of course the best part of it, to be able to feel the baby's movement from inside.

Ok now, shall we..

. . .

Wednesday morning, 30th September, I went for my regular weekly checkup at the hospital. Everything was fine the day before so I didn't expect anything. But when the doctor told me that my cervix had dilated to 3cm, I was a little shocked and terrified. I have to be admitted into ward immediately.

I've had the hospital bag ready in the car, but I was still emotionally unprepared. I kept telling Iwan that I'm so afraid and not ready. It's almost 10am but still, I felt no contraction whatsoever. So there I was in the hospital bed, waiting for the time to come.

Iwan bought me nasi lemak Tanglin. Actually we'd planned to have breakfast together after check-up, but we end up having breakfast on the hospital bed. I lost my appetite, so I just ate normal size of nasi lemak (I used to have nasi lemak tambah eversince I got pregnant). Later, I started to have this mild contraction. Like most people describe it, just like a normal period pain. It then came more frequently and much much stronger.

Around 3.00pm, the contraction was no longer like a normal period pain. It came for like every 2 minutes. I never had serious kind of senggugut before so I don't really know how real period pain feels like. But the contraction that I was having at that time was unbearable!

I was finally admitted into the labor room at 3.30pm. And my water was broken manually. I thought that I could handle the pain, but once the water broke, I was shaking all over! The contraction was extremely painful! There's nothing I could do to ease the pain. Baring senget baring telentang semuanye tak jalan. Yang saya mampu buat hanyalah mengerutkan muka tahan sakit, itu aje. Bukan saje sakit, takut pon sama. At that moment, the midwife gave me an option for epidural. I was told that I could only take the epidural while I'm still at 4cm dilated. Once it reaches 5, I'm no longer allowed for epidural. So, it's now or never. The doctor even said that we never know how long would it takes to get fully dilated to 10cm. It could be hours! Ok, that's scary enough to make me go for it.

After I took the epidural, the pain reduced for only like...30%? Well, at least that was something. Iwan sat next to me holding my hand all the time. I was so so afraid. There's few times I felt like crying, but I didn't want to break so easily. Plus, I didn't have the energy for that. Although inside I do feel like giving up. I was in so much pain..

Less than an hour later, I started to feel the urge to push. Rasa macam nak terberak taik besar, but in an extremely strange kind of way. The midwife taught me how to push, and I just did everything she said. Take a deep breath and push as hard as I can for 10 seconds. Release and quickly take another breath and push again.

Honestly, I didn't know what I was doing, but the midwife said that I was doing great. The baby's head can already be seen down there and the midwife asked Iwan to look. Then I heard him saying, "Eh, baby ada rambut!" or something like that. But I couldn't care less.

After a few push, I could feel the baby's head popped out. Then everybody in the labor room went like "Okay, kepala dah kuar, teran lagi sekali!". So sekali lagi aku push, terkeluarlah badan baby. The time was 4.44pm.

Then... I heard her... crying so loud...

The nurse brought her near to me, "Ha, tengok ni baby ape?". Confused and exhausted, "Erm.. girl?". Of course it's a girl!

One word to describe exactly how I feel right after she was born - LEGA!

What happen after that, takyah cite la kot pasal jahit2 semua. Itu semua tidak penting.

The baby was taken away to be cleaned and warmed up. Iwan took a photo of her and showed it to me while I was still resting in the labor room. I was so happy to see such a cute creature that I'd been carrying around inside my tummy for 9 months, is finally here to meet us. It's a bliss. I just couldn't stop smiling. :)

It's the most painful yet the sweetest experience ever!

Itulah dia, the magical story of the day Hana was born into this world.

Bliss

2009-10-09T11:14:00.017+08:00

Hello everyone!!

I'm currently at Seri Iskandar, Perak. Being here, near to a place where I first met Iwan and became his special friend is just nostalgic. I would say that we were (and still are) so close back then during our university years. We did most of the things together. We shared problems and laughters together. We went to classes together. We have our lunches and dinners and suppers together. We did our revision at the library together. We played online games together. We watched movies and played bowling for like every weekend together. Daripada naik bas Perak Roadways takde aircond ke motor kapcai Yamaha 125z ke Toyota Hilux pinjam bapak dia punye sampailah ke Gen2. Ahh, it's a total bliss!

The skinnies

After 8 years of knowing him including 3 years of marriage, I would say that he has changed a lot, in a good kind of way. He has changed me too, into a better person. He also changed me into this...

36 weeks

And now, we are still good friend. But with addition to that, we are husband and wife and we are the parents to our newborn baby, Hana Ashran binti Mirwan Ashran.

Baby Hana

Hello World!

Khazanah Jiwang

2009-09-29T14:17:00.004+08:00

Our long raya holidays was being utilized by cleaning up the store room secara besar-besaran. The room was a total mess. Semua bende pon campak situ, scattered all over the place. All unwanted stuff, toolbox, luggage, tangga, ampaian kain, wedding gifts, tilam, tilam, tilam.. haih, u name it. Barang2 dalam tu macam beranak pinak. Barang yang saya tak penah tau pon ade situ, tatau la sape yang letak. So, as a preparation to welcome a new member to the house, we need to clear up the store room and transform it into a guest room, and the old guest room will be our little one's bedroom. Sorry guests, korangnye bilik terpakse di'downgrade'kan.

While clearing up all those junks, we found a box of my old stuff. My old-jiwang-memory stuff. All was given by Iwan back then during our romantic days I would say. Greeting cards, souvenirs, pictures.. I could hardly remember that I possesed all this thing before. We went through all the greeting cards. There's raya greetings, Valentine's and birthdays. All musical cards are still singing like new. Ada lagu Selamat Hari Raya la, lagu My Heart Will Go On pon ada. Ahakhakhak! We laughed our lungs out reading through every single words that Iwan wrote for me. Trust me, you don't want to know. Saya sendiri pon geli bulu telinga membacenye. It's cute, but geli is still geli. But yeah, it's cute. :) Can't believe he actually wrote those words, but the bad handwriting proves it. Ahakhakhak! (apsal tah gelak macam nih?)

I miss those days.. :)

Selamat Hari Raya!

2009-09-23T13:33:00.003+08:00

1 Syawal 1430

Raye tahun ni lain sket dari yang lain. Kitorang balik raya kat Perak malam Jumaat tu. Kononnye tanak jem beramai2, so kitorang plan nak gerak midnight. Petang tu gi pikap abang saya yang datang dari Johor, then pegi bukak pose sama2. Pastu balik umah dulu, packing barang2 nak bawak balik, tup tap tup tap dah kul 12.30am. Baru lah kitorang gerak nak balik Perak. Excited! Sekali masuk2 hiway, arghh ramai gak kereta!! Paling laju bole bawak pon 80km/h. Oklah tu kan, at least bergerak jugak. Rasa macam meriah pon ade. Nasib baik la dah isi minyak awal2.

Kitorang benti kat RnR Tapah dalam kul 3.45 pagi macam tu, sebab tank masing2 dah penoh, plus mengantuk gile bab. Penohnye RnR tu jangan cakap ar.. Ada yang tido dalam kete, ada yang sebok2 nak sahur, ada yang berpakaian baju tido lengkap. Meriah2.. Orang sebok2 nak sahur, kitorang pon sahur lah skali. Makan sandwich kat Dunkin Donut sambil minum2 kopi. Pastu sambung gerak balik..

Sampai Seri Iskandar kul 5 pagi. Sebelom sampai kitorang dah call siap2 tuan rumah suh bangun sediakan sahur untuk kitorang yang bakal tiba ni (walaupon kitorang dah mencekik tadi). Sampai2 je, sahur dah ready. Makan lagi. Barulah betul2 kenyang.

Owh ye, saya masih belom beranak lagi. Kalo ikutkan ticker di atas, masih ada 12 hari lagi. Harap bersabar ye.

Selamat hari raya buat semua! Maaf zahir batin..

Baby saya malu nak kuar di hari raya

When I'm Supposed To Feel Like On Top Of The World

2009-09-17T11:36:00.006+08:00

One day he asked me,

Him: Hari apa yang paling bermakna setakat ni?

Me: Erm.. Hari kite kawen?

Him: Hari kite kawen memang la bes. Ada lagi satu hari yang macam bermakne sangat.

Me: Ape?

Him: Hari Ella betau Iwan yang kita nak dapat baby. Macam tak percaye je..

Me: Ye ke? Tapi aritu Ella tengok Iwan nampak macam biasa je. Tak cakap ape pon.

Him: Terkejut sebenarnya.

Memang itulah dia Iwan yang saya kenal. Memang tak reti nak menunjukkan perasaan langsung. (Tapi perasaan marah reti pulak tunjuk).

It's common when a woman become pregnant and feel like on top of the world. The thing is, when they become extremely proud of it they don't realize that they had just been plain annoying. Yes, pregnant women are smug. But I personally think that once the baby pops out, they would become even smugger. Just look at the evidence spread all over blogs and Facebook of those smug-mommies. You'll know what I mean.

I myself had been trying to have my own baby after a year of marriage. There was no serious discussion between me and him, but it's more like "yeah, we think we're ready". And to be honest, it's quite stressful for me when I fail every freaking month. I don't know about him, because I'd never ask and he had never ask me too. There's until up to a point when I just gave up and started to persuade myself to accept whatever fate which has been destined for me. I believe everything happens for a reason and all I need to do is to look at the good side of it.

And when I least expect of what to come next, I become pregnant! Of course I am happy and yeah it do feels like on top of the world. But it's not just happy. It's more than that. It's heavier. I'm blessed, worried and confused at the same time. I feel blessed that God had answered my prayer. I'm worried if I can't be a good mother. And I'm just confused with my whole life. To become pregnant is not easy, and being one seems a lot harder.

But one thing for sure, the most precious feeling of them all, is knowing that I am having a baby, not just a baby, but it is his baby. The baby of a man that I love. It's priceless..

Pasti Rasa Cukup Sedap

2009-09-16T10:05:00.005+08:00

What a minute.. I've been neglecting makansutra for almost a year! Wow!

To kick start the foodie entry again, let me feast your eyes with some pictures of my latest food addiction. Sesuai sangat lah di bulan yang mulia ini.

Bubba Gump Shrimp

I like shrimp! Very very like! And at Bubba Gump the food is just shrimply delicious!

Pink Lemon-Ups in light-up glass, and Mango Sparkler (my favs!)

Bucket of Boat Trash
shrimp, fish and lobster tail, served with fries
*MUST TRY*

Shrimper's Heaven
Coconut Shrimp, Chilly Shrimp (udang sejuk yg tak bes), Fried Shrimp, Tempura Shrimp, served with fries

Captain's Fish & Chips
(sedap Fish & Co. New York Fish & Chips lagik)

Posing sesudah kenyang..

Chili's

These are the food which I've tried recently at Chili's during buka puasa few weeks ago. It's so delicious that I'm still craving for it until now. Looking forward to dine at Chili's again soon, probably after raya before the baby come out. Sape nak blanja? :)

Wings Over Buffalo
(meleleh air liur saya skarang)

Fajita Trio
*MUST TRY*

Baby's Wishlist

2009-09-09T11:00:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum to all makciks and pakciks out there!

Mommy tells me that I have generous aunties and uncles out there waiting for me. I don't really believe her. Let me give you some kind of generosity-test. Listed down are ~~mommy's~~ my wishlist. You know what to do..

Moses basket

Avent ISIS Pump
OR, any other Avent product :)

Maclaren Universal Organizer in red/black

Mini Laser Safety Clip-On Fan in pink

Nuby Jiggle Giggle Vibrating Teether

Diaper bag in red/black

Well, this is all what I can think of for now. This post will probably be updated from time to time. I'll put the link on the sidebar for easy reference. :)

Mengidam

2009-09-08T15:18:00.004+08:00

Orang mengandung biasanye ada ngidam2 kan? Macam penah kawan saya cerita, sorang wife ni dia ngidam fresh oren tengah2 malam bute, lalu disuruh lakinye gi carik kat kedai. Tatau la dema ni duk ceruk mane, tapi laki beliau gagal menjumpai fresh oren (padahal saya rase ade je jual kat kedai2 mamak 24 jam, saje malas nak carik btul2 la tu). Tapi sang laki ni bijak sangat, gi beli air Peel Fresh kat 7E dengan harapan ia dapat memperdayakan isterinye. Siap transfer buh dalam plastik (fresh oren tak jumpe, plastik air jumpe plak). Dah semestinye lah dia gagal. Ape jadi lepas tu? Use your imagination. :)

Tapi tu la kan, lain orang lain gayanye. Macam saya nih, takde la plak ngidam2 tak tentu pasal. Rugi kan? Pastu tak reti nak demand macam2 kat Iwan. Sebabnye takut kalo mintak yang bukan2 kang tak dapat kecewa. Baik takyah mintak ape2. Dah paham sangat perangai dia nih. Maybe jugak sebab dia tengok saya nampak sihat bertenaga je from day 1. Takyah la nak mengade2. So kesimpulannya di sini, ada jugak la kekurangannye bila korang pregnant tapi sihat je macam orang biasa, suami anda mungkin tidak akan memanja2kan anda.

Tapi bulan2 puasa ni plak, biasanye saya cakap je nak makan ape dia ikutkan aje. Tapi tak heran la sebab selera saya dengan dia pon lebih kurang sama je. Contoh saya cakap teringin Nandos, dia pon setuju je. So far kitorg tak penah miss sahur lagi (tepuk tangan untuk diri sendiri). Tiap2 pagi pon saya la yang bangun and get all the food ready for him sebelum dia gi keje. So saya request la kat dia suh dia plak yang siapkan sahur time weekend. And guess what, dia buat la! Haha! Seronok je saya bangun2 makanan dah siap atas meja. Aritu dia masak baked bean, scramble egg dengan toast. Sedap! Siap basuh pinggan lagi lepas dah abes makan. Saya syiok je gi mengerekot balik masuk bawah selimut. Hihu!

Semalam pulak, saya cakap nak makan luar lah, pastu nak gi beli barang2 keperluan. Pastu dia offer, "Nak makan Teppanyaki?". Pelik plak orang tua ni (haha bes pulak guna term "orang tua") sebab dia tak minat teppan pastu selalu nak mengelak je bila orang ajak. But he knows that's my favourite. Maka puaslah saya makan taugeh goreng dengan banyaknye semalam. :)

36 Weeks!

2009-09-07T12:09:00.002+08:00

Ishk.. cube tengok ticker kat atas tu? Dah masuk bulan yg terakhir. I couldn't help but to feel excited and nervous at the same time. I'm so glad that everything goes fine. The baby is roughly 2.4kg, slightly smaller than average but still considered as normal. I am at 36 weeks and just one more month to go. Wow! But I'm still not ready for this. Please, at least let me have my raya first. Please please please, bagi la mama raye dulu (dalam kepala ada lemang, ketupat daun palas dan rendang daging kegemaran). Amin..

Diari Ramadan

2009-09-02T10:16:00.005+08:00

Pejam celik pejam celik, dah masuk hari yang ke-12 dah kita berpuasa. Rasa macam kejap je kan?

First day puasa disambut bersama family from Perak yang bersusah payah turun dari sana. Turut serta ialah my brother yang berhempas pulas datang dari Johor naik bas. Semuanye gara2 sebab nak makan homecooked meal punye pasal. My mom masak kuah lemak udang besor giler, maka tercapai la hasrat semua orang.

My mom continue staying with us for the rest of the week, manakala yang lain2 balik la ke rumah masing2 sebab kena keje kan. So tukang masak aku sorang la conquer. Weehuuu! Terpelihara makan buka dan sahur kami selama seminggu. Tapi tukang masak dah balik dah weekend lepas. Maka terpaksa la kitorang start beli lauk kat param lepas ni. *Sob sob*

Selain daripada itu, sepanjang minggu lepas we had special makan2 berbuka at:

1. Delicious, with Iwan's officemates.

Chocolate Sundae yang sangat heaven!

2. Insaf, with Ella's parents and nephew.
3. Rumah cik Yus di Venice Hill Cheras, with my UTP buddies.
4. Fish and Co., just me and him.

Semuanye lazat2 belaka!

Other than that, we also had buffet at:

1. IKEA, with Ella's family.
2. Hotel Singgahsana, with Iwan's family.
3. PJ Hilton, with the company.

Tapi kan, saya tak minat buffet sangat. Buffet yang saya pegi tu pon sebab di sponsor je (terima kasih para sponsors!). Tapi dalam free2 tu pon saya melantak banyak jugak. Terseksa perut saya yang semakin sempit ni. Korang jangan tatau saya penah makan buffet McD sampai termuntah okay, punye la tamaknye. Skang saya dah insaf. Tu sebab saya suka sangat makan nasi beriyani Insaf yang sedap itu.

Raya preparation pulak, tahun ni serdehana je. Baju raya dah siap dari bulan lepas lagi, harap2 still muat la nak pakai time raya nanti. Aritu gi Jalan TAR, beli sket2 apa yang patut. Saya sangat suka bershopping di Jalan TAR time2 bulan puasa ni. Hilang rasa penat tau! Rasa macam nak beli baju kurung lagi selai, tapi pikir2 balik rasa mcm membazir plak. Tapi 2nd raya nanti nak pakai baju ape eh? Macam tak bes plak nak pakai seluar. Most of my baju kurung dah tak selesa nak pakai (cehh, cakap je la ketat).

Puasa bagi saya yang tengah sarat mengandung ni pulak, so far so good. Sebelum puasa dulu, saya macam selalu gak rasa heartburn. Tapi sejak puasa, tak rasa pulak heartburn tu. Nampak sangat la yang heartburn yang saya hadapi selama ini berpunca dari banyak sangat makan. Cramp kaki pon dah takde sejak saya telan pil calcium twice a day. Yey!

Oklah, panjang sangat ni. Sekian saje coretan di bulan Ramadan buat kali ini. Assalamualaikum.

Happy Birthday, Father-To-Be!!

2009-09-01T15:29:00.003+08:00

Happy birthday to my husband, the father of my child..

Your birthday present lambat sket la ek. Insyaallah, bulan 10 baru dapat. Haha! :p

I love you very strong tau!

Ada gaya tak untuk menjadi bapa mithali?

Baby Yang Berpuasa

2009-08-25T11:52:00.005+08:00

It was the first day of Ramadan, and we were at the hospital, for my monthly antenatal check-up of course. :)

Doc: Dah amik injection yang 2 kali tu kan?

Saya: Dah..

(Sambil amik blood pressure)

Doc: Ok, blood pressure normal. Awak dah 7 bulan lebih dah yer. Ada cramp kaki?

Saya: Ada la sket2 kadang2.

Doc: Ok, tu kurang kalsium maknanye. So nanti awak makan pil kalsium tu 2 bijik sehari. Masa buka sekali sahur sekali.

Saya: Saya bole puasa macam biasa ek doktor? Tade problem?

Doc: Tade. Bole puasa macam biasa. Ada bengkak kaki tak?

Saya: Tade.

Doc: Baby gerak2?

Saya: All the time.

Doc: Ada saket perut?

Saya: Tade. Saket perut sebab ~~cirit~~ salah makan ada la.

Doc: Ok, mari kita scan. Selalu baby gerak kat bahagian mana?

Saya: Atas kiri, bawah tulang rusuk ni ha.

(Doktor pon scan...)

Doc: (Sambil tunjuk kat screen) Ok, kepala baby ada kat bawah, ni tulang blakang dia, ni jantung, dan ini bontot dia. Badan dia kat sebelah kanan, tengah memandang ke kiri.

Saya: Ooo.. Patut la dia tendang2 tulang rusuk kiri saya ye doktor. Terjawab sudah misteri nusantara

The end.

And owh, selamat menjalani ibadah puasa buat semua!

The Best Movie of the Year (so far): District 9

2009-08-21T10:37:00.006+08:00

At last. The best movie of the year. Definitely it is District 9!

This is not a typical alien movie. Aliens that have no choice but to live on earth for no clear reason is definitely a fresh idea. This is not Men In Black, this is real. This is what will happen if they were to live among us.

The movie tells us that alien and human are not the same, in a different kind of ways. Human being usual are greedy for power, hiding behind our fake humanity and take advantage of what lies in front of us - the aliens technology. Aliens on the other hand (aliens featured in the movie are categorized as a group of "worker" which come to assumption that they might function like ants - in colony) are not like human, without their leader they are nothing and can't do anything. What I can say is, with their advanced DNA-based weaponry and technology, they can just kill us all and take over the world. But nope, they just live their life in a slum (which I think that they just don't care) and continue living without a purpose.

But again, not all human are the same. There are good people and bad people. And same goes to those aliens, where there still a genius among them who care about their species and had been working out his plan for 20 freaking years to go back to where they came from. Somehow, these two characters (the good person and the genius ET) met and this is where it all started.

Extra credits are given for graphics, human explosion, cute little alien kid and Wikus in robot suit catching a flying bazooka.

Terkerat Jari Hidup2 Buat Pertama Kalinya (18SG)

2009-08-13T11:15:00.003+08:00

Last night, I cut my finger to bleed when I was cutting the vegetable in the kitchen. It hurt so bad. I still can feel the knife cutting through my flesh. Sangat la ngeri. (Aku kan, sejak pregnant ni memang agak clumsy la tatau apesal. Makan pon selalu tumpah2.)

And because of that traumatic incident, I decided to stop whatever I just did in the kitchen. So no cooking, we're eating out. Haha. I asked Iwan to clean up the mess in the kitchen and then he bought 2 tickets of G.I Joe. Yeay! We're going to have hotdogs and mashed potatoes while enjoying the movie!

And the flick is quite okay. Takde la best sangat dan takde la tak best langsung. Actually I am waiting for District 9 tapi semalam tak kuar lagi. Hari ni dah kuar dah. Will have to save it for our movie night next Wednesday. =)

Mommy Gaga

2009-08-07T18:58:00.004+08:00

Hello people! Miss me?

Before I start, I would like to announce here that I've changed my job for the (jap nak kira..) owh ya, 5th time! (Yeah I'm that picky. Say whatever you want. But believe me, you have no idea what I've been through before.) So, I was in the process of adapting myself to the new working environment and that's the reason for not updating the blog for a whole week.

Okay now let's start writing about nothing else but my pregnancy. Haha.

I've been receiving compliments from friends telling me that I don't look that fat. It's even more flattering when they said that I was chubbier when I was in school (the gloriest time of chubbiness, thanks to Penang food!) than I am now. Wow, seriously?! Ke just nak amik hati aku je nih??

Okay okay, better stop writing about "how FAT I am". I know you guys must be totally annoyed by now.

Despite my over-reaction towards my fatness, I am totally blessed with my pregnancy right now. I don't have allergies, nauseousness, fatigue or any other complications. I can go up to 6 months and people couldn't hardly notice that I'm pregnant. I even went to several interviews and no one knows! In the first and second trimester, I was at my best, I can walk the whole day that sometime I forgot that I'm carrying a baby. Thank God for that! But now, as I'm in my third trimester (how time flies..), I started to lose all the energy I have before. I get tired easily and I have to be careful all the time so that I won't hurt my back. Even sitting now requires me to sit in a straight posture. Just imagine that I have to sit straight, all the time, at work, for 9 hours. Phew!

This Is Heavy

2009-07-27T17:55:00.007+08:00

I am quite worried about my weight gain at the moment. Believe it or not, I'm 62kg now and never stop growing. My target to weight less than 65kg at the end of my pregnancy seems impossible now, so I change it to less than 70kg. Haha bole plak gitu.

Although I gain kilos every month without fail, some people still saying that my tummy looks small at 7 months. I don't know what's wrong with their eyes, but I know that I shouldn't be worry about it because I know that the baby is doing okay. At 29 weeks, the baby weight 1.2kg which is considered normal. So my theory is just that I have a small size abdomen that my baby must be uncomfortable to be inside it. That also explain the stretch mark and the frequent karate-kick from the little one.

Tak gemok ke ni?

Stretch Mark

2009-07-16T14:14:00.003+08:00

Last weekend, balik Melaka kejap to see our grandparents. Tokmak who first time saw my belly went asking "Bape bulan dah?". And I said "6 bulan dah", then she went like "Ala kecik nye..". "Mana ade kecik ni dah besor la nih!" I disagreed. Hehe!

Then my MIL asked "Dah ada stretch mark blom?". Aku dengan yakin nye jawab "Takde plak lagi", sambil buat2 cek perot tengok ade ke idak.

Keesokan harinye, saje pegi depan cermin tengok perot. Owh tidak!!! Ade stretch mark yang selama hari ni aku tak nampak sebab dia menyorok bawah perot rupenye. It's been hiding there all this while tanpa memberikan sebarang simptom kegatalan. Selalu stretch mark rase gatal kan?

Anyway, only yesterday I got myself a stretch mark lotion. Tu pon sebab ada offer kat Jusco. A little too late maybe. Tak kisah lah.

4) Kereta idamanku.

I Need You

2009-07-08T12:43:00.007+08:00

I need you.

The day when the photo was taken, I was 5 months pregnant. Looking at this picture make me realize that the baby grows so fast that now my bump has doubled it size. Sometimes I do feel excited about it, but most of the time I'm just anxious and insecure. Even while I'm writing this, I don't want to think too far of what will happen next, because I might just end up crying. People are concerns about the baby and asking questions which some of it I don't have the answer. I wish they know that the last thing I need now is their unnecessary concerns.

I don't know whether I can do this. Will I be a good mother?

Apa Yang Penting?

2009-06-26T15:28:00.004+08:00

Keje...... sama.......

Yer kerjasama! Tapi semalam si budak kecik di dalam perut ini tidak memberikan kerjasama beliau dengan doktor bila doktor nak tangkap gamba 3D dia, malah ditendang2nya scanner doktor itu. Cubit kang baru tau. Nanti kang dia gak yg nyesal orang lain sume ada gamba 3D dia je takde.

Baby dah gemok sket rasenye. Berat beliau dah jadi 700+ gm kalo tak silap. Berat aku pulak toksah cakap la. 59 kilo okay!!! Tapi seperti biasa doktor akan cakap "Eh, okay ni berat badan nih. Tak gemok la". Bagus la doktor ni. Manis mulut orangnye.

Skang baby suka gerak2 la. Dan waktu malam la dia paling aktif. Iwan siap bole label anak sendiri as nocturnal. Haishh! Malam tadi tengok Transformers 2, bila scene perang2 meletop sana sini kebabom, this little nocturnal baby pon bersilat sama. Mungkin kesan THX tu membuatkan beliau rasa excited. Macam pakai zap2 u zap (padahal tak penah try pon). Hilang kosentrasi saya yang dah sememangnye keliru robot apa lawan robot apa.

So takde la lagi gamba baby buat masa ni ye kawan2. Jangan la pula kalian merasa kecewa.

What To Watch?

2009-06-24T17:54:00.006+08:00

If you are one of the unlucky ones who miss the chance to watch Transformers 2 this week, well this is not the end of everything! There are a lot of other movies to watch. I bet that Transformers is gonna stay in cinema for a long time.. Hehehe!!

Why don't you guys try Drag Me To Hell. I've been avoiding scary movie for quite some times now because it all seems the same to me (sebenarnya penakut). But I'm just glad that I watched Drag Me To Hell. It's full of suspense and not to miss, the sense of humor too. Seriously, while you are too scare of what's gonna happen next, you might probably just burst out into laugh when you see the most unexpected. I'll give the movie 3.5/5.

Or, how about Blood: The Last Vampire. I was quite skeptical about the movie. Vampires and too much blood, doesn't it sounds like too typical for you. However, a few days ago, I got to watch the anime film on Animax. Guess what, it's not bad at all.. In fact, now I feel like going to watch it in cinema. But still have to decide whether I'm willing to spent RM8 for it (Wednesday special rate), or just download it for free. Kalo korang dah tengok, sila betau bes ke idak. Tenkiu.

Other than that, I also would like to recommend this TV series - Worst Week. It was on Star World last time but I missed some of the episodes, so Iwan had downloaded a complete series for me. It's like a TV version of Meet The Parents but a lot funnier. It made me laughed to tears! Try ar tengok..

On another note, saya adalah tidak sabar untuk menonton Transformers esok. Don't worry Reena, I will let you know who die in the end of the movie. :p

Los Angeles Part 6 - Santa Monica

2009-06-20T14:32:00.006+08:00

Okay this is the last one! I almost forgot that I haven't finish up the LA update yet. And as it's a very long due update aku pon macam dah kehabisan idea. So macam biasa, layan gamba je la.

Yeay we can see the beach!

Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. Tempat shopping tapi tak beli ape pon kat sini sebab the day before dah puas nyopping kat Camarillo.

Street performance yang cool. Tengok je la rambut mamat tu kan cool.

Nampak macam panas, tapi sejuk sebenarnya. (Bagi kulit aku lerr)

We were heading to the pier!

Santa Monica beach.

Seperti biasa aku dapat tengok je.

Takut le tu nak gi dekat2 kereta polis. Haha.

Sbb asyik nampak Bubba Gump ni kat merata2 tempat di LA, maka kitorg menetapkan azam utk mkn Bubba Gump bila dah balik Malaysia nnt.

Kan aku ckp aku kesejukan. Lepas naik Ferris wheel dia tu lg la bertambah sejuk sampai terpakse pakai jaket. Camne nak pakai bikini??

Lapangnye..

Ok dah abes.. Bye2 Los Angeles!!

The 4th Person Ties The Knot

2009-06-08T18:58:00.004+08:00

Siapa lagi kalo bukan ~~cik~~ puan Maz kita. So far, I managed to attend all of the gang's wedding - Dee, Yah and Maz. It's definitely an event that I don't want to miss. Selagi boleh pergi akan aku ku pergi jua walaupon sampai ke Sik Kedah. Huhu! Enjoy the pics.

And to Mazlina Shakirah,

Selamat pengantin baru! Kawen jugak ko akhirnye.. Semoga berbahagia sampai ke anak cucu cicit.. Nanti jangan lupa buat housewarming okay!

4 downs, 6 more to go!

Saje je pakai baju sama kaler dgn pengantin. Iwan posing gaya org mengandung pegang perut.

Dua org cik Ina bergambar bersama pengantin. Amik berkat ye saya paham.

Lepas gi kenduri Maz kat Sik, kitorg sempat lak singgah jalan2 carik makan kat Penang. Ni gamba lepas kitorg membedal pasembuq dan sotong bakar kat Padang Kota (tak sempat nak tangkap gamba sbb makanan sampai je terus berebut2 sesama sendiri takut habis). Hasilnya, diriku nmpk gemuk full blast! Ye gamba ni special utk korg yg mengharap2kan diriku nmpk gemok.

Makanan petang td baru nak hadam separuh, kitorg gi try plak Nasi Kandaq Beratoq. Bole tahan sedapnye.

Kenduri sebelah Fairuz di Chemor, Perak.

Baju kurung masih lagi mampu menyorokkan kebuncitan.

Ex-housemates (From left: Farah, Ella, Dee & baby Irfan, Maz, Wani, Ct. Missing in picture: Yah, Muni, Yus, Ina).

Kambing Liat

2009-06-03T18:03:00.005+08:00

Ni gamba kat Kuala Pilah sebulan yang lalu. Masa ni, Iwan sedih sebab aku tak simpankan peha ayam untuk dia. Pastu aku pulak tengah cuba menggigit daging kambing yang liat. Sedap!

I'll be away untill next week. Got few weddings to attend. Besnye nak makan nasik minyak! (Yer dalam kepala otak aku skang asyik ingat makan je tade lain)

Quickening!

2009-05-31T14:49:00.004+08:00

"I weigh a pound? Wow! That's like an entire pound heavier than Kate Moss!"

Amboi baby pandai buat lawak pasal berat eh..

Now let me..

"A pound? That's like not more than half a kg! But I've gained 7 kilos since I'm carrying you. So what is that extra 6.5 kilos that I'm carrying?? Please tell me it's just water.."

Last week I weigh 55kg when the nurse put me on scale. And that looks heavy. But when I stepped into the doctor's room, the first thing she said, "Dah 5 bulan yer, still tak nampak lagi, slim jer". Are you serious?! Anyway I do like her because she always have nice thing to say to me. Huhu!

The scan showed that the baby is alive and healthy and bigger than before. The doctor recommended us to go for a 3D scan next month when the baby will be large enough and look more like human (so that the father will be less scared of his own child). And you know what, now I could feel the baby's move and if we're lucky, the baby can be too active that Iwan could feel it too. It's just amazing!

Los Angeles Part 5 - Shopping and Sight Seeing

2009-05-26T15:43:00.007+08:00

We rented a car to go for shopping. The place is quite far from Hollywood so the most convenient way is to drive. We were going to Camarillo Premium Outlets! (thanks to Yus for the info!).

Iwan has booked the car earlier online and actually he requested for a small car. But luckily, small cars were all not available so the car rental company gave us a big car instead.

Aku mula2 mcm tak percaya je Iwan sewa kete buruk ni. Rupe2nye dia pon tak sangka! Hahaha! It's a Chevy HHR (and HHR stands for Heritage High Roof). What a name!

Memandu dgn penoh konsentrasi okay.

Mana tak nye, sini sume org bwk kete laju2. Laju tp berhemah yer. Semua pandai stay lane sendiri.

Aku sebagai co-pilot keje baca map. Nasib baiklah si ibu mengandung ni takde nausea tau!

Senang je nak gi Camarillo tuh. Ikut highway, kejap je dah sampai. We arrived around 11am gitu. Cuba teka kul bape kitorg abes shopping? Aku pon tak sure, tp yg pastinye dah gelap la time tu. Bapak lama giler shopping mcm tamo balik.

Kat situ mmg bes giler ar.. Jakun dibuatnye. Tgk je lah gamba kat bawah ni menunjukkan betapa jakun nye kitorg bershopping. We were lucky to have that Chevy HHR, see what I mean?

Maafkan aku wahai kereta sbb gelakkan ko awal2. Jasamu dikenang!

Next day nye plak, seblm balik ke airport, kitorg jalan2 for sightseeing plak. We went to Griffith Park. Taman tempat org lepak2, naik beskal, bwk anjing jalan2 dan mcm2 lagi. Lepas tu kitorg gi Rodeo Drive plak kat area Beverly Hills.

Apsal ntah isi minyak mcm tu.

Otw nak ke Griffith Park tu lalu kawasan rumah2 org. Cantek kan?

Yer yer nampak..

See that snow dog? Gorgeous!

Griffith Observatory.

A Sundial. It measures time by the position of the sun. Dan kitorg compare dgn masa kat jam tangan mmg tepat!

Rodeo Drive tempat shopping org kaya. Kereta idamanku di situ. Nampak?

Sbb nak mengidam kereta ni mcm tak mampu.

Mahupon yg ini.

To be continued...

3rd Anniversary!

2009-05-21T13:51:00.007+08:00

It's our 3rd anniversary today! Wow, we've been married for 3 years already! And what makes the year even more meaningful is that we're going to have our very first child to bring more colors to our lives and yeah, to make it even more challenging, I guess. But most importantly, my love will continue to grow stronger for both of you, my love and my precious little one. ;)

Jom layan gamba2 lama...

Time ni masih belajar lagi kat UTP. Masa ni dah final year kot. Ni gamba kat Teluk Batik, ada gathering.

Los Angeles Part 4 - Universal Studio (Day 2)

2009-05-18T10:00:00.000+08:00

We had conquered all rides in Universal Studio on day 1, except for the House of Horror. So Iwan and my sister went for a round of scary-walk inside the house while I just waited outside and enjoyed the free smell of burgers and fries from the stall nearby. After they had being scared by Chucky and Frakenstein, we went on The Simpsons Ride and omg, they're awesome!! I would say it as a fun+hillarious+scary ride. I was like screaming and laughing at the same time!

Itchy and Scratchy height check.

Seronok!

We also did go on that Studio Tour for the 3rd time. And finally, I got to go to Wisteria Lane!!

Welcome to Wisteria Lane! Senyum happy sgt mmg tak bole blah.

Gabby's.

Susan's.

Lynete's.

Bree's.

Eddie's.

*Spoiler Warning*
Korang dah tgk tak latest episode yg Eddie mati eksiden langgar tiang letrik tu? Ha ni lah kete nye.

Someone was carrying out a body from that Bates Motel. Masa first day kitorg dtg takde lakonan ni.

And that psycho kejar kitorg sampai ke tepi tram dgn pisau! Ha cuak!

Aksi tah ape2.

The infamous ogre.

Aku suka tgk cite dia masa kecik2.

Bye2 Universal Studio!!

Aini's Wedding

2009-05-12T17:42:00.004+08:00

Since I got my driving license 8 years ago, this is the furthest I've ever drive a car by myself! For you Aini, aku sanggup mengembara sampai ke Pekan Pahang tau! Nasib baik tak kena tahan speed trap! (Ini membuktikan bahawa aku adalah pemandu yg berhemah).

Selamat Pengantin Baru!!!

Rombongan cik Maz ke Pahang.

Ha ni la gamba aku yg paling latest kepada sape2 yg nak tgk aku dah gemok ke idak.

Maternity Dilemma

2009-05-08T10:00:00.001+08:00

You know how boring maternity wear looks like. And no matter how boring they are, the price is still ridiculously expensive.

As in my situation now, I still can wear my normal clothes but of course with some hassles.

- The jeans and kain baju kurung are too tight around the waist.
- Normal length tops/shirt/t-shirt could be seen "hanging" around my belly.

To tackle the problems, these two products really come in handy.

Bellybelt is like an "extender" which could extend the waist of your jeans, pants and kain baju kurung. It comes in 4 sizes, so you may change the size as your tummy grows bigger. But bellybelt itself is just not enough. Just look at the picture above. I bet nobody wants to reveal their bellybelt open so everyone can see. So you have to hide it under your long garment. But then, what will happen to the rest of your short tops?

That's why we need this bando. It is super stretchy. Wear it around your waist to cover up your sexy bump, then just put your normal clothes on, and you are ready to go!

With these two magic, your normal clothes could last longer. I got the bellybelt from Mothercare outlet and the bando online. And I'm loving it! :)

Los Angeles Part 3 - Universal Studio (Day 1)

2009-05-06T01:40:00.014+08:00

Other than Disneyland, I really really want to go to Universal Studio! So yes, it's another dream come true. We bought the ticket online and we got another day pass for free! Oh yeah!

Universal Studio is located not far from our hotel. So we just took a Metro train to Universal City and from there, we took free shuttle service to Universal Studio. Sangat senang.

Shuttle service.

Dah sampai!

We arrived before the park was opened. Semangat nehh! We wanted to be among the first to go on that Studio Tour.

We were among the first! Time ni dah masuk dlm theme park, tp rides derang still tak bukak lg. So kitorg kena la beratur tunggu kat situ.

Tgk kat belakang tu kosong. Takde sape pon yg dibenarkan masuk beyond the waiting line.

House of Horror ni pon blom bukak lagik.

Yey dah bole masuk! Tgk la org berpusu2 nak kejar masuk Studio Tour.

The first tram! Wee~

Kete2 Back to the Future.

Kete nari2 Tokyo Drift.

The real scene from War of the World.

Ada banyak sgt la gambar time Studio Tour ni tak larat aku nak letak kat sini. Unfortunately, aku tak dapat masuk Wisteria Lane sbb derang tgh shooting time tu. :(

Lepas Studio Tour, kitorg pon memulakan aktiviti2 memulun naik semua rides yg ada.

The Simpsons Ride. Aku tak naik pon ride ni mula2, sbb takde sape tau camne gaya ride ni sebnrnya. So aku tunggu luar, bg derang test drive dulu tgk camne.

Dan setting kat sini mmg sgt cun. Colorful! Macam beriya2 tak tentu pasal. Actually The Simpsons Ride ni adalah ride baru yg ganti Back to the Future punye ride.

Selepas mereka selesai bersuka ria sambil berbangga2 cite kat aku betapa besnya ride tersebut, kitorg pon bergambo dgn character2 The Simpsons. Comel macam bantal peluk.

Lagi skali bersama ibu dan bapa pula.

Ini pula adalah The Mummy Ride. Yang ni aku tak dibenarkan naik sbb ada byk element terperanjat dan menakutkan. So aku posing kat pintu masuk je la. Sila lihat perut guard lonjong itu.

Muka takut ke ni?

Sekor mummy terlps keluar kandang. Lalu kitorg pon membelasah beliau utk menaikkan experience level.

Sekali guard lonjong nih dtg ckp, mummy tu dah insaf dan tidak lg berkhidmat di bawah naungan Imhotep. Nasib baik tak mati kau utk kali kedua kitorg kejekan.

Jurassic Park.

Bersalaman dgn dinosaur.

Scooby Dooby Doo.

Ni plak Special Effect Stages. Time beratur tu, tiba2 plak ada sorg ni dtg offer panggil utk jadi volunteer. So kakak aku pon menyahut la cabaran itu. Kat sini derang tunjuk demo green screen effect dlm cite The Nutty Professor. Ada one scene yg ada byk2 Edddie Murphy tgh mkn kat satu meja ini, dan salah sorg yg tgh makan tu ialah kakak aku. Mmg menakjubkan!

Beetle Juice.

Ready for Shrek 3-D?

Shrek 3-D ni ialah virtual ride. Seat dia ada gerak2 dan byk terhentak2 cth mcm bila si Shrek ni naik kuda. Tp yg bagos nye kat sini, derang ada sediakan stationary seat utk org2 special mcm aku nih. So I still can enjoy the ride without harming the baby. :)

Amik bau saja kat Flintstones bbq ni. Rasa mcm bln puasa pulak.

Terminator ride pon leh tahan hebat nye. Virtual ride jugak lebih kurang mcm Shrek 3-D cuma lg bes.

Aksi naik minyak dalam one of the souvenir shop.

Waterworld. Sgt hebat tatau nak cite camne.

Pintu exit House of Horror. Ibu mengandung tak dibenarkan masuk. Kalo tak mengandung pon kompem aku takkan masuk.

Sponge Iwan Square Pants.

Ok dah nak balik. Tangkap gamba around Citywalk.

Gamba ni mcm wajib ada plak kan.

Ok dah tak larat. Kita sambong esok!
