decided to pick up where i had left and to start all over again.
i hope i will make it this time.
found an effective way to make it through.
others may have found it long time ago but i guess its better late than never.
i dont believe in failing all the time. though, i hope not after many attempts.

i didnt get to blog about this. i had to turn down numbers of open house invitation last weekends.
Sorry - Leli, Akbar, Sharina and even sorry to AMP's first open house ever held at Hilton Hotel. I missed watching Imran Ajmain. Didnt get to the itenary from our parent's company - i've missed good food and good entertainment for FOC. sigh! no use crying over spilt milk....


Last night, while Eddris was busy dismantling our bed, I entertained the kids in the living room with their favourite video on youtube. Najmi is so into Rihanna..he loves the Umbrella, ella, ella, ey, ey....my!


I have 3 more days before sending the documents for archive. and yes its packing and more packing. my desk was in a huge mess!


Thanks 2 me, my partner in crime is hooked with Friendster. See how engrossed he was!


Im glad to be able to re-connect with former schoolmates via facebook. Have not heard from them for ages. and it took me quite a while to remember how they looked back then...and if i had ever made friends with them then...

Pics of the post visits, we were so tired and needed so much rest after a night at Twinny's.

Eddris had not had his lunch till almost 7pm!
Mun finally could leave her hiding place and lepak in the living room
same goes to Najmi's buai, out in the hall freely
Me lepak rabak with my Najmi who simply could not sit still!

i brought Ezzaty to office on Saturday. While i was at work, she sat next to me attempting other schools' CA & SA papers for 2 subjects. oh well, she was curious about the learning centre, the classrooms amazed her and yes, she could not focus well. she was looking around and asking questions..and making friends with the other children..one of the girl even bought her a bun.

How sweet of my fellow colleagues to pamper her with breakfast, goodies...which explained why she only managed to complete 2 papers instead of 4....


trying hard to concentrate
some of the many goodies she received
taking a pic of me slouching in front of the PC!

Najmi busy 'helping' at Twinny's
after a night of shifting and packin, time for a good meal in the morning
simply loves this nasi lemak wrap in banana leaves - priceless!
wont wait a second for a nap on that good daybed
my grandnephew!

Eddris started his new job today at one of the government sector. Yup, officially a civil servant. Started with the 7-3 shift work. Called him just then, he liked his new job and i hope he will be able to work there till he retires...hehehhe.

Spent the saturday night over at Twinny's place before the mover came in the next day. Managed to get rid most of the bulk items - i had my share * big grin*.

Woke up with that feeling as though you had slept in a kampung. Sleeping over at her place made the time passed so slowly, just like the kampung spirit.
And having nasi lemak breakfast with the family after Fajr prayer - looking at those banana leaves warp enough to make my salive drools....loves the smell of the authentic nasi lemak.

Thought I could rest upon reaching home, but then received calls from cousins and aunts that they were coming over....4 families turned up unexpectedly. Luckily, Mak was fast enough to cook Mee Goreng, Paru and Ayam masak lemak cili api.

A rare visit from my niece who came with her 5 months old son- my first grandnephew!

experiencing snapshots

hey peeps! im experiencing jakunness syndrome with my hp camera. the quality looks okay to me...better still ample storage in the phone memory.

Earlier on, minutes before i left office, really pissed of with NLA - the blur queen. she took her sweet time to respond on the drafted P n L, it had been 2 days in a row, she submitted her queries minutes before 6pm! any sane person would be mad and what infuriates me most is her asking the same questions...doesnt all these years taught u anything! so much for being someone in the organisation - boleh blah!

i must really tackle things involving her with utmost professionalism...dat SM is a gool pal of hers.
rules are always changing for her sake...GOD! its she always matter and no one else...

my new darling

bought a new handphone last night. it has all i needed in a HP - slim and light, camera, memorycard, and yes mp3...loads of music to be listened!
okay4x enough of the promotions.

its nokia 5310 Xpress music.
not sure how new it is in the market, but who cares..
so satisficed with my choice...*big grin*

a phone i bought with my 'duit raya'..priceless. (dah tua2 dapat duit raya, tak ke bangga beta)
its not always im getting ang pow.
and its not always im changing phone. *kecian*.

btw, i have chosen blue...cos Mun already got herself N76 red.
i really dont see the relation...but yeah its blue.

3 stooges - Eddris, Ramli n my pal from sec-Halil, what a coincidence
Sufi - the youngest guest on Sunday
cousins
Its Halil & family
Mak and her nephews and grandsons..awesome
Eddris and his buddy from FTSS-Ramli

Oh well, the weekends had ended with visitings and entertaining the guests.

im dead tired, so tired that im not able to think straight.

last friday the whole family exclude Mun and Yati spent overnight at Twinny's place. Helping her the pack her stuff, discarding the trash, boy! didnt expect she had alot of things to be cleared. I didnt do much really, only helping to seal the boxes and arrranging them so that her study room looked less occuppied.

its not the end definitely, will arrange another day to finalised everyting before her handover to the new owner and cant wait to have her with us before her departure to Denver. (i hope it will not be that soon but it will be less than 2 mths, sob sob sob)

I was surprised to have met Halil, my secondary schoolmate at Eddris' schoolmate's open house (that was mouthful). Surprised that it was his wife who recognised me and alerted him...

more pics to upload on the 2 days...

The Raya Mood is here again.
Students at our centre are having mini-Raya celebration, with catered food and baju kurungs, sampings and songkoks!!!
I thought it will be tommorrow, should have brought my camera.

Other than Uncle D and family visited us on Monday, we have yet to have other visitors. Saturday, I will be fulfilling open house's invitation from Eddris' schoolmate, quite sometimes we have not met. And if time permits, we will be visiting Eddris' extended family of uncles, aunts, cousins and what have you...and also Mak's extended families. The only time we have a reason to meet up, otherwise, on special occasions.

At the same time, I will have to manage my time to prepare for Sunday's gathering...anticipating cousins, uncle and in laws.

visitings

my cousin Fuad and wife Seri entertaining us
Uncle D and his son in law having fun with us around heheh
colok surrounding my uncle D's home - so nostalgic
on our way with Azimah visiting my in-laws
sis in law and family..i looked so tired, it was the 4th house we visited,Najmi was asleep

Salam Lebaran 2007 from D Noors

our brown/peach theme compliment with my oriental brown curtains.
we took pictures with that as a backdrop...nice family potrait for our Ist day of Syawal 1428H.

First time for the younger boys putting on their baju kurungs, carbon copy of their dads.

Though we didnt really plan for our outfits, it turned out perfect.
Ezzaty & Azimah were like a pair of twins, same outift, same accessories and same handbag....twins separated from birth.

im so feeling raya today! no mood to work. because
1)office is so quiet, more than half had taken their leave.
2) tomorrow our office is officially close. im having the pre-closure mood, heh!

Im just filling the time updating here and there. bosses are not around, i bet they having this mood too....

this year, the preparation for Eid is well planned, no last minute rush. bravo!
maybe because Yati is around, so everything is done up way before.

Tomorrow, i will be helping Mak to prepare for the dishes and vaccum the carpets.

Infact, tonight i will be helping out on the lepats and ketupats....yummy!
if all done, i shall be packing my old clothing to give away and make space for newbies...great! time to shop during the year end sales....

yeah, its that time of the year when my oven was slapped from its long sleep.
Been baking for last two days of the weekends.
Tried my hands on a new recipe which did not turn out well, how on earth could you bake without any sugar? I could only have guessed that the writer had forgotten to put it down and published it on the net without prior checking.
3 trays of 'bantut' biscuits had to be given away to Mr Bin - such a waste!

Been going to Causeway point lately after work since it was like minutes from the office. I had avoided the bazaar earlier on due to the overwhelming response. I could expect it will be food everywhere - all sorts. Everthing looks appetizing, but i do not want to splurge since we will be having homecooked dishes by Mak.

Somehow, last Friday, I just had to have Ayam Percik and today, craving for Dendeng.
Other than these, I rather spend the hour before Iftar, window shopping at CP and lookout for good bargains.

On this coming Friday, Office will be closed, and so I could save on my annual leave for the preparation. More meaningful we were all given another day off after EID.I could anticipate alot of visitings, im grateful for the additional leave on Monday to rest - ALhamdulilah.

cant wait for the big day :p
After a month of sacrifice, its time to celebrate our victory. Hari Raya is alot meaningful when we have done our part in the Ramadhan. Because when there is No Ramadhan, there will be no Syawal.

To all Muslims, Eid Fitri.
Sincerely seeking forgiveness for all my shortcomings.
May Allah bless us all with His Grace and Love - AMIN.

The whole family is watching HIKMAH right now.
Spare me - such a drag. I cant stand Lisa - so hypocrite. Did anything to snatch someone's else husband.

Her character reflects the reality on the existence of such women.
THinking she can do a better job as his wife, trying ways to replace the other woman,
and then if not being the second wife, she would want him to choose either one. sounds familiar - yeah exactly like Dian in Rahsia Perkahwinan.

I have only these to say - belum dapat semua manis, bila dah dapat, baru tahu pahitnya nak bersuamikan suami orang. By then, its too late, you have built your happiness on someone else's misery. what's done cannot be undone.

so many of such scenarios that I had witnessed..it pains to see one woman hurting the other over a man....hish!

raya 2005

1. see photos of Azahar & the boys during Hari raya visiting in 2005)

You will only appreciate when its gone!
How true, im missing my Ayer Rock painted wall.
The current walls are so dull and its so difficult to blend with our furniture.
I have to brighten up my home for the celebration..
