My 30th Birthday Biggest Surprise

Just when I thought my 30th birthday has come to an end, I was blown away by the biggest surprise arranged by boo-boo,baby sister and talented brother. Wow!! Being 30 is really special FABULOUS. I have never been this surprised before. Seriously!


Pandai organizer2 ni....depa buat surprise party I masa weekdays. Manalah I nak sangka yang those closest to my heart will turn up. Yela, most of them were working. Dengan jam lagi, ada anak kat umah lagi....I was touched. To all of you....I love you all so much and I really appreciate it. Even if this is my last birthday celebration, I won't regret....

So, the crime scene was @Aliyaa Restaurant, Damansara Heights. The setting of the place was really nice but a bit too dark that night. Kuciwa la jugak cos takder banyak sangat gambar yang best since the so-called photographer tak berapa nak boleh harap. Phone pulak tak bley nak capture gambar elok2 dalam gelap. Terus teringat kat what my photographer friend, Bob, posted in his FB, "Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught is captured forever..it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind". Deep huh! Well, for my case, maybe it was not nicely captured on the camera, but it was...in my HEART. Ha....siapa lagi deep?hehehhehe. Jangan....I ni kan pujangga modern. Mana boley kalah. hihihih.
p/s: I should either carry my own camera everywhere I go....or carry a phone with a really good camera. Blackberry torch perhaps? **wink**

My 30th birthday

"Happy eday to mommy....happy eday to mommy....happy eday to mommy.....happy eday to mommy". It was such a proud moment to have been given the opportunity to hear my only baby girl's rendition of birthday song. Cute sangat...Ishh, mommy Iman ni masuk bakul angkat sendiri pulok. BUt seriously, it was:)
Semalam birthday I, for those yang tak tau. It was my 30th. Dah 3-series dah I. hukhukhuk.I love my 20s so much. But Im sure there is a better future from today onwards. A better,mature and wiser me...Inshaallah.

Ironically, I have received many 30th birthday wishes from friends and families. I really felt special and loved by many. Alhamdulillah. Terharu sangat2. Even my dad wished my 3 times and kissed me. Hurmmm......Lain macam pulak rasa. My dad jarang buat macam tu. Dia jenis yang tak berapa kisah sangat pasal birthday2 ni. Dia kata masa dia dulu takda pun birthday2 ni. Yela......dulu tu zaman bila bah??? Kesian abah.Due to that,me and my sibblings organize a special outing or dinner for his birthday every year. Biar dia merasa celebrate birthday selagi dia ada umur kan:)
So,pagi semalam kat office, I didn'r really celebrate it. Tapi lunch time, adik angkat I yang sebelah I dalam gambar kat atas ni, treated me lunch. Thanks Iman! Sama macam nama anak I kan?hahahahhaa. Tapi, I bukan letak nama "Iman Nadyne" sebab budak ni. Coincidently,I memang suka nama IMAN (FAITH). I think its a good name. Sebab kan orang cakap.. nama kita tu doa. Tiap2 hari sebut Iman, inshaallah....my girl will grow up berIMAN.


Tapi 1 thing yang sama pasal "Iman" kat atas ni dengan "Iman Nadyne" is dua-dua orang ni pelawak habis. Kadang2 boring gaks. Kat office Iman. Kat umah Iman. Tapi depa 2 orang ni la yang banyak buat I ketawa pecah perut. Tengok je la muka dia kat atas ni.............memang muka pak lawak betui.




So, sempena adik I belanja ni, I belasah oriental chicken chop for my birthday lunch. Fabulous!!


Sebelah malam pulak, I went for dinner with hubby and little Iman @ Wadi Hadramawt,Jalan Ampang. Its a Yemen restaurant,catering delicious arab food. Sedap sangat....sampai Iman Nadyne makan banyak gilerrr "Chicken Mendi". Iman memang sama selera macam daddy dia. They love middle east food. Mommy dia tak berapa suka......tapi layannnnn sebab sedap sangat. Mommy, as usual, takkan lepaskan peluang makan "kambing". So, mommy pun belasah "lamb kebab".



YUMMAYYYYY!! The place is very cosy and sebab tak berapa ramai orang lagi masa kitaorang makan tu, Iman buat restoran tu macam rumah dia sendiri la...siap tonggeng2 lagi.

Tengok la hubby I. Sampai no meja pun nak pilih 30 jugak. Ishh....tak payah ingatkan I sangat la pasal nombor tu. I ingatttt selalu.........Anyway, thanks yang for the treat. I loved the food to bit!!


I can't thank everyone enough for the wishes and prayers on my 30th birthday. I really appreciate it.

The past 30 years

Hari ni tak tau apa yang nak cerita. Jiwa ni lately rasa sangat tak tenang. Astaghfirullahalazim. Nilah yang dikatakan bisikan syaitan. "Ya ALLAH, aku berlindung kepadamau dari syaitan yang direjam." I shouldn't have let my anger controls myself.

Tapi hari ni, seriously, sangat kelam dan mendung,except for my fabulous lunch@ Sushi King. Yummaayyyy. Kenyang giler. Alhamdulillah, rezeki Allah. But it sure cost a big hole to my pocket:(

Anyway,I have actually forgotten about my special day tomorrow, until one of my colleague came to me and wished "Happy belated birthday,Iza". Aiyooo....not yet la. Its tomorrow.hahahahha. But, thought that counts, rite:)

When I think of my 30th birthday tomorrow, I'm filled with weird feelings. It makes me think of the 30 years that has gone by. What have I done? Have I done enough to seek a place in Jannah (syurga) if I die tomorrow? Have I repent for all the sins that I have comitted for the past 30 years? NOOOOO.......I feel really sinful just by thinking about it.





Im grateful for these 30 years that was loan to me. If I can choose, of course I want many more years so that I can correct my past mistakes and devote myself to ALLAH. I pray to ALLAH to bless me with more years so that I can be a better :
1)servant to my creator
2)Muslim to my religion
3)daughter to my parents
4)wife to my husband
5)mommy to my children
6)sister to my siblings
7)friends to everyone

Ameen. Inshaallah. So, on this coming very special day, I should be thanking the CREATOR for giving me the wonderful 30 years.
