Love, Lives and Loses

People are brought into lives to the world, babiesare born (most my cousins gave birth this year I lost count, what with all the fancy names, I surrender), but some left us for a better place. The passing of a friend and a friend's brother, both in accidents shocked us. Let's take a moment and recite Al Fatihah to them.

Love? Still single and loving it. BUT! I am so happy some of my friends, FIND THEIR TRUE OTHER HALF!! (hate them for ditching me most of the times now, BUT truly happy for them)

Happened Happening

But to sum up, ones of the best days of 2013;

So, have you say your thank to Allah today, for the past awesome 365 days?

Tomorrow, of hopes and dreams for 2014!

Cuba Teka

'Malas aku buat statigram best moment 2013. takdok bnde best pong'

'Adalah..mu ada macam-macam best 2013.. mu g Alicia Keys, mu g Jakarta'

'Eh ada! ada! BSB. BSB beh gila wehhhh'

'Haaaa tu ada! aku kata doh, banyak bende bes mu 2013'

Drama sikit esok kan last day, sedihhhhh pula awesome year is almost over.

sekarang nyanyi dulu

Cubalah cuba sayang teka siapa yang bertakhta dalam jiwa
la la la eh eh huhuuuuuuuu

Afgan - Jodoh Pasti Bertemu

Last saturday I sacrificed watching Mancity beat the so called table topper Arsenal with 6 goals - SIX goals, ok! - for the AIM in Bukit Jalil.

The show, was not disappointing at all, especially with the right company. Thanks Hazirah!

At the beginning of the show I was actually stunned to find out that I don't know that many Malaysian artists. I thot I graduated that but I failed, so I said to Hazirah, 'that's it I'm gonna find Nomad and take picture with him only'

Later at the end of the show, there was Nomad, and me and Hazirah, JUST THE THREE of us in a hallway, AND I GOT STARSTRUCK.

omg. still startstruck??? can't believe it.

then Nomad passed us. then the rest remain history. SIGHHHHHHH.

By the way, Afgan as usual win me, a bit biased actually because I LOVE THIS SONG.

I personally like that one line 'Selalu menjadikanmu isi dalam doaku'

Too sweet to be true.

Doa

Dalam doa korang hari hari, spare satu line dlm 5saat, mintak pada Allah supaya kawan atau keluarga kau yang sudah berkahwin tapi belum berzuriat, agar dikurniakan rezeki dan nikmat beranak.

Eventho biology doesn't make a mother.

Hanya Allah tahu apa yang terbaik untuk diorang, tapi korang boleh mintakkan. Sebab doa kan free. Jangan kedekut atau malu. Minta je.

Mengemis pon takpe, dia pencipta kau.

Extraordinary

"Anyone can fall in love and be blindly happy. I raised you to be an extraordinary human being. So imagine my disappointment when i wake up after 5 years and discover that you're no more than ordinary"

Sigh. We are on reversed situation, Mere.

1 month to 10 years

Some things never changed.

(Like talking so very loud in a cozy restaurant)

1 month to ten years of 10 of us.

Once there was a Sundies

Dear Auni,

Once there was a legend called Sundies.
And then everyone decided to go and get married and left your Aunties.
And then you came to the world.

I am so sure Auni if the legend still exists you would so much be showered with so many tender loving care.
But I do believe you are safe in good hands, your parents are undoubtedly the best.

Welcome aboard first Sundies baby.
To many more!

ps: I know when  and where you were conceived, I am your creepy aunt, you should be scared of me! ;p

The Women Summit

Or.. also known as, the Alicia Keys - Set The World On Fire Tour - Kuala Lumpur 2013!

I have never felt more empowered! she is the girl power icon.

And she IS powerful (and not to mention hot) and dancers are powerful (and hot too)

My favourite, of course, her last number, Empire State of Mind and a bit of Girl on Fire (and the dress kills) and of course If I Ain't Got You.

This video is not mine, BTW.

That was a what-a-night night. I can't believe I missed her first concert.

Sunshine

O Allah

Please send a bit of this goodness to the east coast.. where my friends' homes are rested below water, where mothers and fathers are eating instant noodles because there are no enough food supply around, where husbands lost their ways to their wives.

Where my mama and ayah are not sleeping soundly worrying water may get in anytime.

O Allah

We are of those who believe you know best hence with you we lay our faith and trust.

It feels so bad to feel so good these days knowing some people are not doing ok.

Let us all contribute. If you cannot be there send something.. money, clothes, anything, the right medium is all around you.

If else failed, doa. And spread love.

Please hang in there my friends.

Winter with Cinta

It has been raining a lot lately.. The weather was a  bit cold.. so we decided to shop for winter clothes.

On weekdays, morning, because we can *peace.

(Of course I didn't buy anything. I'm like that, you know)

Jokes aside. I am so sad to find out that rumah lama I di Kuantan tenggelam dalam banjir. Ya Allah. Please, only You can ease this.

Chase Coy - December

You're the best thing that happened this year.

I love December for the rain. I loveee rain weh. I've said it so many times that I lost count. But I do.

I love staring blankly at the rain, do you know that?

Do you know that I purposely drive slowly in the rain so I could enjoy the rain.

I don't mind parking my car a bit far so I could walk in the rain?

I love the smell of the rain and the after rain.

I love the chill and the mellowness.

Everything is slow in the rain.

I hate it if I have to rush in the rain.

I love dancing in the rain.

But I forgot when was the last time I danced in the rain.

It has been raining a lot, lately, just like how I like it.

Who said it's never winter in Malaysia.

TLC & Lil Mama - Waterfalls

Admit it you miss this.

Congrats Lil Mama for the guts of replacing Lisa Left Eye who passed away 14 years ago.

I was hoping for a full medley, atleast of Waterfall, Creep, No Scrub, Dear Lie and Unpretty.

More of TLC please!

Kimono

I have been searching high and low for a good Kimono cardigan. I can't pass any one shop without going in looking for a Kimono cardigan.

A good one means I like it and I like how much it costs.

And then last weekend, I did some spring cleaning and guesssss what I found? This, hanging there at the back of my closet altogether with a few other things that i don't think I will need but maybe I had been searching high and low for.

So they were right when they said.. sometimes the thing you want the most has been lying there in front of your eyes all the time. 

Ps. This cardi is a gift from Kaykay. Semoga murah rezeki mu kay! Sokmooo beli macam macam ke aku.

Move on

Move on yang paling susah is move on from a bouquet of flower. This bouquet has been in my room for 2years plus now it is collecting dust. Hari ni baru rasa.. maybe I should throw it out.

It is sad tho. Because flower is pretty. But this one seems to bring more harm (I am so allergic to habuk and debu) and like any other human being.. I don't make potpourri.

I got this for my 26th birthday from my dearest parents. The one i got on 25th birthday was thrown out when I got this one.

The longest I have kept my flower is my convocation flower. Threw it out 5 years later!! Haha.

Speaking of move on... bila nak move on from Mr Arrogant ni. Sigh so sick to be lame and typical but can't help to fall in love and rinduuu.

We need a plan. Yes we. I am not the only lame person here!

Adik Sedehana

When mummy babysits Amalin

It's never a quiet day!

Diana

Spent the morning watching Lady D with my 2 Lady Z; Mummy and Aunty.

In contrary to the public bad reviews, I actually like this movie.

A tragic love story with sad ending.

'So I'm not accepted into a family, that's not new for me'

'I am a Princess, I get everything that I want'

Life is not all princess-y for a princess right D. I feel you.

(Chewah I-feel-you aja princess princess kannn)

Sometimes I just still can't believe that she passed away.

I know my mum and my aunty feel the same way too.

You know our mothers have this thing for the Lady. They all love her.

On a side note, Naomi Watts could easily crawl into my favourite actress list. First The Impossible and now, Diana. Gifted.

Remember My Name

A niece told me that she got bullied at her school. Some mean girls call her names, call her busuk, influenced other girls to not be friend with her.

She's 7 and these mean girls are 10! 

I got so mad I didn't know how to react. I know she's small but she has to know that people do that to her because she got something and they don't.

For an instance sah-sah budak-budak pembuli tu kurang kasih sayang.

Geramnyaaaaaaa.

I know adults shouldn't meddle in kids' problems and I know it's bad to wish Karma would strike and to wish God to get those mean girls, but I sincerely hope those kids will get the love they truly need the soonest, else my niece's school life would be so miserable!

Sighhhhhhhhhhhh!

I ended up telling her how Yuna told us she was bullied too, when she was small. People called her Tuna! Tuna! (it was a funny story she told at the concert before she sang this song) and the niece went like... WHO'S YUNA? haha.. ok wrongggg move but still, you're going to be big and those mean girls will be like, man...that's the girl I bullied in school.

Tuna! Tuna!

Big Fat Girls Don't Cry

The long holiday is approaching and I had no idea that my friends are all going away for holiday. Seriously? They are all leaving Malaysia for Thailand/Indonesia/Nepal wherever in the world. I am the only one who is left alone having the road and streets and malls all to myself.

FINE.

It's FINE moment.
One FINE day I'll be able to text them I'M LEAVING NOW, BYE BITCHES.

But actually, I am not complaining. I understand the situation that it is hard for me to take leave during any festive season so that's why I didn't make any plan for this long Deepavali holiday. Which turns out to be good because Mama and Ayah are coming (YEAYY) but guess what..

They will also be leaving for holiday with the aunts and uncles to Melaka.

OMG seriouslyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
I'm gonna cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

At the office.

Alone.

Because everybody is on leave.

FINE.

Zaman gelap

A few days ago our washing machine broke down. It was not the washing machine itself but the drainage system haha whatever I don't understand but the main point is we are not allowed to use the washing machine.

I never knew that I actually depends so much on the machine. After 7days or so...I couldn't stand the smell and the mountain of laundry so I decided to do the wash the dirty clothes...manually.

Ala MRSM years. I did it before. Should be doable.

Up to second shirt and I surrender. Mannnnn how did I do it beforeee? Thinking this will give me great flex and great abs doesn't help. I ended up packing up my 5.5kg dirty clothes and took em to the laundry shop.

Ahhhhhhhhh screw flex biceps abs and all. Lets watch TV and be fat.

'How are you going to run after him with one leg shorter than the other?'

I finally decided to have a dedicated saving account where I can keep a pinch of my money and take it only when I truly needed it. Yes on my 5th year anniversary of being a hamba kapitalis only I decided to have a saving haha sorrylahhhh I'm ignorant like thattt but better late than never kann

Sooo after dumping all the extra money that I plan not to use until very much needed into an account that is not easily accessible.. I decided to play dumb enough to leave my tumbler's lid open in my handbag.

A few minutes later, thanks for my habit of I can't live without looking at my phone,  I discovered that the my handbag is wet and everything is soaked.

Thank God my phone and watch aren't damaged. else how do I buy new phone and watch with the money that I cannot take because the bank book is all soaked up???

Genius.

How much do you really know a person?

What an early morning today. Ingatke lepas subuh nak hantar Atek to KLIA (Atek is going back to Egypt; was just about to send her at the parking lot je haha) so I stayed up after subuh, had decent clothes on and suddenly my housemate screamed from the kitchen.

She cut the tip of her middle finger and now the blood spilled all over the house.

Panic attack I immediately took her to Columbia Asia here in Puchong, sent her to Emergency Room and I was left having to fill in her series of form.

Nowwwww what do I know about this person I've been living with for 3 years?

Ps. On the other note boy I'm so glad my mum and dad never make me wanna be a doctor or nurse. Some people are IT engineer because they can't stand blood!

The Show-off Habit

I have this habit, whenever people compliment anything that I wear (tudung, baju, seluar, skirt, beg, etc) I will directly tell them where I get it.

If you know me well, you know I don't buy expensive things, I don't mind the brand, I always think if I can get something for a cheaper price I'll take it (cheapskate ke miskin tak tahula) but sometimes, most of the time, those nicest things you put on do come with a huge price tag, #truestory

That's why bila kita masuk any store with any 70% signs pon the new arrivals will attract you more kan?

So, whenever people say, 'hey I like your baju/beg/kasut/tudung' I akan reply 'thanks it's from somewhere' and when I say somewhere I really don't mean to brag or show off. I really don't know for some people Cotton On can be huge like 'WOW Cotton On tu!' and to some people MNG is like mehhh 'beli MNG pon nak kecoh'. But it's a habit to say where I get em because living in a country where petite is normal, a plus size like me struggles to find something huge that can be put on nicely that comes with a petite price tag.

And I appreciate it if I compliment some thing on some people I will get the same tips. I really appreciate when they can tell me if they get this during sale, during an oversea trip, as a present or something, I don't take it as showing off. Because I can use those tips.

A twins' wedding Hanisah came to me complimenting my baju. I immediately told her 'thanks, I get it from brickfields'. Do you know that those saree come with supercheap price but very nice detailing and stuff? yes they do! and you will never get these tips if you don't ask from the right person do you?

Mrs Aaron

I have been driving a lot since I am licensed to drive. ( I memang seorang penakut undang undang so masa takde lesen memang tak drive k)

Being able to drive around is a nikmat yang I thank Allah everyday like I thank Allah for still allowing me to breath.

Can't imagine my life without my driving license, Aaron and driving capability.

I thank Allah for friends who drive a lot too. I tak ada jenis kawan yang takut nak side park reverse park, takut drive malam, takut drive hujan, takut drive long distance. We are all hardcore drivers who don't complain about driving and who can't live without driving.

Independent women are driving women. No women should be denied for her right to move around as she pleases.

Eve of Adha

It was my choice to come to work on Eve of Adha but it was too sweet of my cousin to think my boss made me do this. Haha. He/she did not. I was the one who wanted, actually insisted (drama much) to come to work (disclaimer in case my boss read this, I love you boss)

Buttttt I take the rest of the week off. So the joke is on youuuuuu people!  Muahahahaha.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha people. Hope you get to celebrate this joyous day with people you love whoever they are wherever you are.

Ps. Don't be in love with somebody's husband. Because tomorrow you will get lonely anddd the wife will get all the good things. You're losing!

Unsung Hero

Had the chance to watch Tanda Putera during sleepover at Aisha's last night. I had no idea that the movie would totally move me. I was moved.

How long have I been saying TTDI TTDI without knowing who this TDI is. Yes, I bet most of us don't know who this TDI is.

Such a loss, to lose a very great man at such early age, early years. If he would have been alive, I think he would be our Bapa Pemodenan.

Al-Fatihah Tun Dr Ismail. You have been missed.

Double Joy

I have been looking forward the impromptu trip to Kuching for 2 things:-

1) I wanna spend time with mother
2) I wanna go get these 4 things.

I am so in love with my Pua motive kain I got from Kuching's Arab street, so very satisfied! And managed to cross the river, walked in brimming hot sunshine to get to Dayang Salhah kek lapis, scored fresh Terubuk masin and nice Laksa Sarawak, I'm done!

Apart from that, of course the very grand wedding of Kak Een and her my-oh-my good looking husband (a royalty too, sigh what a lucky girl!) at Pullman Kuching before leaving to KL the next morning.

Yes I am related by blood with this 3 very pretty ladies -_-"

Mother was still in Kuching but I had to leave early, because we have another something very big waiting for me in KL.

The double reception of Adlina and Aliah at Dewan perdana Felda.

I actually hate seated weddings. I dread the whole idea of dramatic walking on the aisle, sitting straight with 3 inches make up on and full on spotlight but I was wrong last night, I am very happy to say, twins' reception was very pretty and filled with soul (then maybe because I love them I'm biased). They were very beautiful MasyaAllah, i think I didn't say this enough last night but boy they were.

Told ya they were stunning, so pretty I was so jealous.

Me and twins actually went to the same high school and university so that makes us have lots of friends in common. It was like a mini reunion, love the fact that I get to see everyone again!

These two pretty girls, over here, are the reason why single girls like me still have a long way to go. How in the world are these beauties still single I don't know.

With Adlina.

This is too cliche but I do feel extra loved last night. 

And, the best thing above all, having Nett back in the picture.

Congrats you both!
