Ber "Nur Kasih" with my ladies

I've been wanting to write about so many things but was just too busy with stuffs. Oh, did they said "there is no end to work"? I should have known! Pfftttt.....

Anyway, just a quick update on my latest movie session with my ladies! Tiptoed around my room on Sunday morning, hoping little one won't catch me all dressed up for my movie date. Hubby being a sport, offered himself to look after little diva while mommy was away....enjoying "Nur Kasih". I purposely booked the earliest show at 10.45am so that I won't be leaving little diva too long, since she normally wakes up at 11am on weekends.

Why "Nur Kasih"???? Firstly, because everyone was so busy talking about it. I didn't watched the series and I heard the rating was very high. Out of curiosity, I decided to watch the movie with Nur Kasih's hard-core fan, Niki. hehhehehehhe. Secondly and quite frankly, it was because of Remy Ishak. Ever since I watched him in CUN, I just wanted to watch more of him and since Nur Kasih is a more serious film, I was rather more anxious to watch the serious side of this famous bahiya :p

Since we reached early, we decided to join little Akif and his popo at the Platinum Movie Suites lounge. Niki in fact has invited Joe and little Iman to join them, like a double date la kan....mommies watch Nur Kasih and daddies and kiddos layan Kung Fu Panda. hehehehhehe. Pandai kan the mommies:p But I was a bit skeptical about taking little Iman to cinema. We have never taken her to cinema before knowing that she can hardly concentrate or sit still for more than 10minutes. But I was more convinced after witnessing the casual and comfortable ambiance of the platinum suite to accommodate my little diva. I should take her there someday....

Surfing the net to kill the time, for kids yang takda blackberry or I-phone la :p

Massage chair.....Sheer bliss

Wall of fame...me likey!

So, after stalking the platinum suite, mommies went off to catch the most anticipated movie. 

My ladies went to grab some popcorns and drinks( I still don't get it why people need popcorn while watching. It's not my kinda thang. I went down and packed some nuggets and fries which I obviously had to smuggle into the cinema).

With all the essentials ready, including loads of tissues, we went in hoping to enjoy the movie. I was clueless thinking the movie was a compressed version of the TV series, but Niki told me that it was actually a sequel to the series. Laaa........lain kali cakap bior teghang!!!! Since we are mommies (except for Daya) & a pregger (Niki), we kinda "got" into the movie as soon as it starts. Needless to say, we cried like babies.Dasar diva! The storyline was a so-so, but Khabir Bathia's cinematography was superb. Salute! Also hats off to Remy Ishak and Tiz that were not disappointing at all.Above all that, on a more serious note, the movie was loaded with good messages, especially on marriage and religion.

We had a great time watching, though Nur Kasih the movie was not as great as the publicity. I'm thinking of doing this more often...I mean, movie date with my ladies! They allow an 8/9months pregger to enter the cinema, rite Ki? :p

Love you all my ladies!!!

Ala Kassim!!!

Lately, I have been actively chatting with my faraway friend on MSN massenger. Its really awkward in this stage of life where you will be spending hours online, chatting with your girlfiend. Well...it may not be that awkward to some people, but it is to ME!

Topic of discussion? Married woman in their 30s with kid...what do you expect? We shared stories on marriage, kids, and other GIRL stuffs like what happened to this guy...that girl....yadayadayadayada

The most recent one was about marriage basically. How married women always have problem with the in-laws and husband sometimes. At least I know I'm not the only one. hehehheheheh. After a long story telling and heart-to-heart session, she finally made me look at marriage matters differently. I love the fact that she was not biased though she is my close friend. She gave her most sincere opinion that I need to hear. Though most of her advice was not in my favor, but I really appreciate what she has told me. The most valuable line throughout our chatting session was "Marriage is no longer about us. Its about our child. So, whatever decision you have to take, please consider how is it going to affect your child" . In the end, after digesting what she has told me, I finally made a wise and valiant decision in solving the thing that has been bothering me for almost a month now! I am so much happier and calm ever since. Alhamdulillah....

Lesson learned :
1) You need to share your problems with someone rather than keeping it to yourself.
2) Share your problem with someone impartial . They will lead you to a wise solution. Insyaallah

Ceciter....Ceciter....

Apa ke he nye ni Sin? Ceciter...ceciter...

Saw my friend's status on bbm today, "23hours to go. Panick mode". Well...she has been counting down the days for her to reunite with her husband in Oman. Hubby dia dah keje kat Oman for the past 1 year ++ I guess and she has finally decided to join him there. Yela....nak buat apa dok kat Malaysia ni dengan anak berdua je kan when hubby is earning so much (I speculate easily 8k - 10k per month). After all...life is too short to be apart too long. What is the point of working so hard and earning so much if you can't be with the loved ones. Memanglah absence makes heart grows fonder, tapi....takda la sampai bertahun2 kan. Bukannya dekat-dekat pulak tu.

I'm happy for her, tho it's kinda sad that I couldn't see her before she leaves for Oman. All the best to you, Juj! My close buddy back in university. I still remember how we used to "jaga" the hostel most of the weekends, since other friends went back home. I wonder why she didn't go back since her house was nearby in Subang Jaya, while mine was in Seremban. We were crazy about IRC back then. hahahahha. Funny! I remember there was one time, we took a commuter to Seremban and ended up chatting at a cyber cafe for more than 6 hours instead of me going back to my place. Crazy young girls!

Quite a number of my friends currently working and residing abroad and they are doing very well. Gaji puluh-puluh ribu semua (if convert to RM la). And what am I doing here??? Padahal dulu belaja sama2, exam sama2, joli pun sama2. Arghhh.....stress!!! I should have migrated too. Well....I thought of doing so before...but not sure what stopped me at that time. And now....after many years....I'm still a cubicle slave here in my beloved country, Malaysia. Besides earning so much, most of them are also very "independent" and "free". They are married with kids and living their family life as how they want it to be, rather than what is expected out of them. If you know what I mean!

Tak nak cita banyak-banyak la. Macam tak bersyukur plak kan. I'm happy for all my friends! I really do. All the best to all of you....wherever you are. Love you girls so much!

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.

In Memories of Sheema Wahid

Macam biasa, pagi2 on the way pergi kerja, I akan bukak facebook untuk updatekan diri dengan cerita2 terbaru kawan2. And I came across birthday wishes dedicated to my dear friend that has passed away on 31st May 2010. And I terus wish arwah jugak. Whenever I think about arwah Sheema that turns 31 today, I can never stop from feeling sad for her and her beloved family. Sedih sangat, because firstly, arwah and her hubby was my good friend back in university. Secondly, anak dia sama umur dengan Iman Nadyne. So, as a mommy, I can put myself exactly in the situation. Imagine la, dengan Iman Nadyne yang tak boley stop calling mommy and selalu cium2 I sambil cakap "tayang(sayang) mommy", I could never imagine leaving her.At least, not at this moment.

Bagi siapa2 yang tak kenal arwah, let me explained briefly what has happened to her. Arwah was one of the many PTDs(pegawai tadbir diplomatik) that has to undergo the 6/7months training regime. Arwah was in her 3month @ Jugra Camp when she had high fever and bad cold. The worst part was, her request to return to her family when she was sick was turned down by the camp officers, on the basis that if she withdraw herself from the camp, she will have to repeat the whole course from the scratch. Out of desperation,arwah stayed back and went through the great ordeal. Nauzubillah.

She was warded 1 day @ Hospital Banting and keluar balik after she was found to be "fit". Though she complaint that she was sick and shivering, dia still dipaksa masuk dalam lumpur. Prior to that, from I heard, dia kena minum air stokin. WTF? Subsequent to that, she lost her consciousness and brought to the Hospital Besar Tuanku Ampuan Rahmah, Klang. She was in comma for about 3-4 days, if Im not mistaken, and menghembuskan nafas terakhir on the 31st May 2010. The worst part was, arwah's husband was called by people from the hospital, instead of the camp officers untuk inform pasal arwah only on the 2nd day after dah masuk hospital. I can't imagine how Zul(the husband) felt when he received the call form the hospital since he has not been talking to arwah for almost 1 week, and the final "gathering" with the wife was in the hospital, staring at the wife yang dah comma and can't even open her eyes anymore. Allah.......

I can go on and on pasal arwah Sheema but I shall stop here. I berdoa semoga roh arwah tenang di sana and digolongkan dalam golongan ahli syurga. Inshallah. To those yang mengenali arwah atau tak, sama2 kita sedekahkan al-fatihah kat arwah, sempena birthday dia yang ke-31 ni. Al-fatihah. To Zul and Hylda Daenia, semoga ditabahkan hati sentiasa.
