Reluctant blogger, and yet..

Ya Allah lama nya tak post anything, in the span of one month (27 days to be exact), ni baru nak tulis something, but nak tulis apa pun tak tau. I think blogging is just not my forte, no wonder I was so inspired by others yang sooo rajin. I think some of my weaknesses are:

- tak rajin ambik gambar, apa lagi kalau tengah masak yang sekali sekala tu, dah nak laju, masa mana nak pegang kamera2 nih..

- i ni jenis yang quite private, tak reti nak share things so openly in this cyber space

- altho masa sekolah selalu dapat high marks for my essay writings (Bahasa Melayu, or English), all those writings were done not out of my minat, but sebab terpaksa, cikgu suruh, still remember how dreadful it was when cikgu came into the class and suruh tulis karangan... So moral of the story, no matter how good you are in anything, your passion and interest must come first. So adik2, sapa yang tak berapa pandai in certain things, but with the drive and minat, insyaAllah you'll be successful in whatever you do.

Macam jahit-menjahit that I'm into now, I consider myself a "kayu" in this field, to me my elder sister is my direct opposite, she's so skillful and has eyes for details, and yet now I can be quite proud of myself while my sister is no longer interested to even pegang her machines nowadays.

I would like to share an inspirational quote, hope some souls out there will find it inspiring:

An average person with a clear conviction will achieve more than a smart person with no conviction. - Mohd Anuar Taib, who became Shell Malaysia Chairman at 42. Wow...

Being busy, but it's okay

Just had a meeting this morning, and that is actually what my work is all about, if it is not arranging for meetings, it is about attending those arranged by others.. yada yada yada..

Rather than the above, I found that I'm more contented with my projects. These few days I realised that I never felt this light hearted, been busy but very contented with how I occupy my time. I feel like my being busy is a therapy by itself, and am being very thankful to Allah for bestowing me with this.

I enjoy my new work station so much that no time is wasted elsewhere like before. This is where I would rather be most of the time.

And I never knew that seeing the results is even more satisfying... like these ones modelled by Supermodel Marsha (supermodel tudung je tau..!)

Living our destiny

It's been a week since the last post. Today I'm going to write about my two boys. Apart from Marsha I'm blessed with fraternal twin boys, who were born 6 minutes apart almost 5 years ago.

Marwan, aka Abang, the elder one was 2.9 kg, now he's the heaviest among the three, heavier than his 8-year old Kakak. His tag line is Macho-tapi-Manja. Whenever his Ayah asks, Abang sayang ayah tak..? He would answer, Tak.. sebab saya sayang Mama je.. sian Ayah. He is so attached to me. The quiet one, cool, and dark... I believe he will grow tall, dark and handsome (sapa lagi nak puji but mak dia..), and hopefully and more importantly, a Mukmin and Muslim in their truest sense.

Muqlis, the Adik in the family, was mere 2.2 kg, but he I believe would be the tallest. Very-very-very active, even throughout my pregnancy I could feel this one on the left was lain macam punya active, he's been kicking and dancing in there while Marwan which was on my right was so slow and selamba. Muqlis is so strong that if he accidently bumps his head on mine, I feel like I am hit by besi or batu, and the pain would last quite long. My Kecik-tapi-Kental kinda man. I'm quite sure he would be very active in sports or a footballer. So reminds me of Ronaldinho.

When I first knew that Marsha was going to have a sister/brother, I'd been having strong feelings that there would be two that time around. And I could almost picture their looks, and characters, and it seems Allah has turned all those into reality. I believe there's nothing magical about anything, we are all actually living our destiny... I'm glad that my boys are the answer to my maternal instincts.

Time really flies

Altho I am quite chatty to some, deep down akak ni agak pemalu sebenarnya, been contemplating to upload my photos on this blog and my facebook, alah macam la orang nak tengok awak pun...

Anyways since I love this photo of mine and my 1st born so much, I guess better abadikan this one here. I like the way Marsha put her head on my shoulder, lentok je.

Mind the quality coz gambar ni zaman I tak de digital cam lagi, after cropping here and there and scanning, this is the result. Mama and Marsha 8 years ago... how time flies...

Feeling nostalgic

Today I will try to upload one or two pix, let's see how they would appear on this blog.

The sewing machine buruk, or rather classic, or even better antique ni, should be a clue to my so-so established project mentioned in my earlier post. That's why it is senget, just like the result of my work at the moment.

I'm rather happy and bersyukur coz after 2 nights bertungkus-lumus, I managed to come up with a 3rd grader result. I guess okaylah for a beginner. Hope to upgrade my skills especially on controlling the equipment, now they control me.

Another photo is my favorite, 1969 kampung house I got from the net, it is also my PC wallpaper. Since many also share the same nostalgic feeling when they look at it, I will also share the photo with my future readers. It actually reminds me of my grandparents kampung where I was born, and where I spent most of my childhood. I just wished that the young coconut tree was not right in the middle, or else we might see the front window or something.

P/S I would like to acknowledge the one who posted this 1969 house on the net, and the sewing machine is taken from the paperbag of Zaid Johari, Shah Alam Mall. From now on don't think would need his service anymore... thanks anyways for his excellent service all this while.

Still unsure

As the above title indicates, I'm still unsure of what to say here, I think for a start I should upload a few photos of my not-so-established-yet project... hmm, sounds a long way to go..

And I would like very much to customise my blog design/color to suit my personality, which is supposed to be very earthy and not too loud, that's actually how I pick my baju and tudung colors all this while. Lately some friends would remark a no-no to my color choice, it is so "YOU" they said, cuba la tukar sikit. But one of the nice things whenever they are in Hanoi, Bandung or somewhere and yours truly could not join the trip, those designs/colors would always remind them of me... haa yang tu color Kak Mas.. hi hi.. thanks gurls (u know who u are).

I guess by now I should know already what this blog is gonna be about... fashion (not so trendy ones of course), and food (because once in a while I like to try new recipes and I am a good cook... well to Marsha at least. She once answered when I asked her, Mama masak sedap dak? Dengan selambanya she quipped, sedaapp.. sedap sangat! Alhamdulillah at least to my dear 8-year-old daughter I am, especially kalau masak Maggi ha ha.. sian anak Mama... Pak E aka my pak menakan once told me I should consider opening a restaurant after one buka puasa makan2 some years back where I was the chief cook... restaurant..?? wowww that's too much man!...) And I hope it would be about the places I go as well. Haa maybe I can upload photos of my previous trips, thanks to my company of course. I guess okaylah tu...

Hmm that's pretty long for an introduction... till next time (wishing this to myself - definitely not a soul in this cyber world would read this in the nearest future, that I am very sure).

...By the way if you're wondering, Marsha is the one in the pix.

Trial Day 1
