And these...

Something like these...

Best friends forever

Marsha has many of course. As for me, as I grow older, so many are not really on my contact list anymore.

I'm not so chatty like I used to be, am becoming more private nowadays, I just wonder how come people can be so open about so many things I consider personal.. but that's how people are, with differences and all.

Thanks to FB and WA, etc, I got to get hold of my long lost few I consider my BFFs..

Ain't they just cute?

I just love those girls.

My Srikandi

Assalamualaikum

Just nak tulis pasal my Srikandi, as of now a reluctant one actually. Am struggling to be nice and firm with her at the same time so that she stays put where she is now.

How I wished I could visit her every week.

I don't really miss her THAT bad but I so feel for her..

Rasa macam nak pindah JB pun ye tapi the twins how la..

So Marsha, no matter how hard for you, just do the things you are so good at, making and enjoying friends while you pursue the mission in this short span of our existence in this world. All I want is for you to be much much better than Mama ok. You've got all the qualities that just need to be nurtured by being at the right place and environment, Mama sentiasa doakan Marsha hanya yang terbaik, no matter how far you are physically, you are constantly on my mind..

Mama sayang Marsha.

Salam Taj Mahal

Amacam title tahun ni (maklum lah update setahun sekali, blogger la sangat)? Ada ala-ala drama Melayu starring M Nasir ngan Umie Aida dulu tu tak?

Bukan apa akak baru balik lepas 2 bulan berkampung kat India sana nun... masuk keja 1st day this year boss dah kejutkan akak dgn offer for the course ni, mula2 tengok duration alamak 3 bulan (depa salah taip actually 8 weeks je), INDIA lak tu? Terkedu la 3, 4 jam hari tuh. Ishh awat la India, kawan2 aku sebelum ni Sweden la, Jepun la, India ada la tapi cam not so recommended je..

Naluri keibuan akak mula la tangkap sayu, serba salah nak kata yes ke no ni.. nasib baik bos Pn SAJ sporting, tak pe you balik pikir dulu.. petang OTW balik ofis baru broke the news to en suami, terus geleng2 kepala gitu (kalau kat India geleng means yes hi hi).. dah le tengah hot rape case yg dlm bas tu... berat jugak ni mmg kena istikharah bagai..

Ntah la pendek crita (selepas macam2 drama dgn histeria dsbnya oleh anak2).. akak pun dah selamat balik pun, now terkelip2 ngadap keja yg ditinggalkan 2 bulan, amek kau!

Mula2 sampai kat gate Taj Mahal akak mentioned kat sorang fellow trainee mamat Ghambia Muslim (selalu share bab2 agama dgn dia), a few months back who would ever know that we would be here, in front of Taj Mahal, except Allah the Almighty, which he totally agreed with a resounding yesss.

Frankly lepas dengar crita di belakang tabir (walaupun dah tau jugak sikit sebanyak) pasal Taj Mahal ni, personally akak tak rasa pulak it's really worth the number of years spent, the number of architects, designers and workers involved in building it, ntah lah of late hati akak ni kering sikit, maybe it's really a sign of old age, susah nak kagum sgt dgn benda2 duniawi ni...

Yg best jugak hari depa bawak pi visit Delhi city hari Jumaat tengahari hujan batu turun, 1st time akak experience hujan batu, ni betul2 hujan batu di negeri orang..

Apa2 pun, I do miss India despite whatever, especially some people that I met... they have really marked a special place in my heart...

Lepas ni kena qada macam2 dgn anak2 akak... sampai KLIA sebak tengok how they had grown after mere 2 months...

Anyways, kalau nak melancong tu boleh la jugak, tapi kena banyak bersabar esp kat jalan raya, shopping wise, makan2 pun not so bad, tak perlu terlampau risau macam yours truly hi hi...


The famous Taj Mahal of India



Qutb Minar kat tengah Delhi... nampak dak ayat2 Quran tu, dari jauh akak ingat ni tokong mana depa bawak melawat, rupanya Alhamdulillah peninggalan orang Islam, India once was ruled by Muslim moguls you..



Yamuna River belakang Taj, hangat giler mata tak leh bukak..

Dengan Nadiah teman seperjuangan di India... macam2 crita kita walaupun 2 bulan, kan Nadiah?



Selamat Pengantin Baru Bot

Somehow after many many, many... many months (anak2 pun dah besaq semua dah sekolah) akak rasa nak post something very special today.. ada a few lagi tapi sbb tak upload gambar tu buat delay semua benda.. patutnya kerja2 upload ni bagi kat Marsha yg sgt cekap dgn komputer and stuffs ni...

Last two weeks one of my dearest brothers' wedding reception (actually double reception dgn my sepupu Siti and hubby Eric - congrats you both!), my main contribution cuma on the flowergirls part, yang lain2 semua thanks to my Maksu yang so energetic and creative.

Congrats Bot and Zue.. suka dan syukur Bot has found his true love, and dapat anak-anak yang sgt sweet, Faiz and Azri (yang macam Aaron Aziz tu) , welcome into the family.

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...
