..food for the soul..

i'm thinking of sharing something beneficial sempena Maulidur Rasul esok.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said " A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it. (If you are afflicted in any way), do not say: 'If I had taken this or that step, it woould have resulted into such and such,' but only say :'Allah so determined and did as He willed.' The word 'if' opens the gate of satanic (thoughts)." (Muslim)

..My First Asam Pedas Attempt..

sejak akhir-akhir ni asyik makan asam pedas kat kantin masa lunch.

jadi timbullah idea nak buat sendiri. setelah 2 kali menuntut ilmu dari akak doc con, saya pun cubalah buat.

mula-mula ingat nak buat guna ikan duri (or mayong), tapi seperti yang dah diagak, En Hubby pulak tak suka. hanyir sangat katanya..huhu. so, guna ikan kembung (walaupun saya tak berapa suka). tak kisahlah, yang penting dapat praktikkan asam pedas ni.

dah halfway memasak, boleh pulak lupa what's next. kelam kabut search resepi kat internet pulak. huhu.

inilah hasilnya :

ok kot. adalah rasa macam asam pedas :)

..the Lion Dance..

Around 930 this morning, after dapat email from HR informing those office staff 'who are free' boleh pergi tengok Lion Dance, bersemangatlah saya dan yang lain-lain turun ke bawah.

tapi turun-turun, tak start lagi. Budak-budak Lion and Dragon Dance Club ni pun macam tengah menunggu sesuatu.

Asked around - rupanya tunggu pak guard balik dari beli sayur untuk the lion, eh, ke naga? confused sekejap.

Ok. dah gantung sayur.

So dah boleh start.

Mula2 kitorang semua tengok dari luar building tapi bila lion/dragon dah masuk dalam, saya dan Fiza Doc Con pun join masuk lobby area for better view.

Banner and limau dari mulut lion/dragon.

Dah, habis.

..love is in the tea..

wah, comelnya teh ni :)


ms tang punya teh oolong. it's so cute i just have to capture it.


*kasut sapa pink tu..hahaha..

.When Happiness Comes Second..

this blog has always been the place for me to dwell on how unhappy i am with my job. i think if it can voice up its 'mind', probably it would scream "If you hate it so much, why dont u just quit?!!"

hehe. u know i cant.

i just had a short chat today with my long lost high school best friend, Petite. and i have a conclusion (sejak bila a conversation kena ada konklusi ni?)

Until I can do those things i want to do for a living - for now - Kena kerja untuk dapat duit. Happy or not, it comes second.

And owh, as I'm writing this, I'm reminded of something that I always keep on forgetting.

Kerja tu sebenarnya ibadah, kan?

And somehow, i think happiness is just like love. And butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. So I guess, happiness will find its way.

Tomorow is Monday ;P

..born in August..

saya tak berapa faham apa kena mengena bulan yang kita lahir tu boleh pengaruhi charateristics kita...

but anyways, let's compare tengok betul ke tak. since En Hubby's birthday also falls on August, compare sekali dengan dialah.

1. VERY AMBITIOUS
ME - is kuar berangan considered as very ambitious too?  if yes, then, yeah, i'm very ambitious ;P
HUBBY - Yes, he is. career wise, dia dah ada target untuk next 5 years..huhu.

2. BRAVE AND DARING ATTITUTE
ME - no.  saya penakut dan pemalu
HUBBY - YES. so we balance out each other, yes?

3. DEVOTED LOVER
ME - yes, i am.
HUBBY - i think he is. he just doesn't know that yet.  haha. boleh pulak macam tu ek?

4. SENSITIVE NATURE
ME - YES
HUBBY - YES

5. YOU GET JEALOUS EASILY
ME - jeles jugak but not so easily-lah
HUBBY - well, yes.  haha (altho' his wifey is not hot and seriously tak ada orang nak pandang pun, but still..i pun pelik. tapi tak mengapa sebab i bukan jenis yang bersosial sangat, so i have no problem at all hehehe)

6. YOU ALSO GET ANGRY VERY EASILY
ME - no.  my anger detector is quite not sensitive hehehe
HUBBY - oh yes, he is.  so most of the times, i lah yang tukang sabar kan dia.

7. YOU ARE PROUD OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS
ME - well, who aren't?!huhu
HUBBY - YES

8. ATTENTION SEEKER
ME - err, yes?  but this only apply to my hubby.  i only seek his attention haha *gatal.
HUBBY - not that i know of

9. VERY GENEROUS
ME - no.  rasanya macam makin kedekut adalah huhu
HUBBY - depends on situation

10. EASY GOING
ME - yes because i tak cerewet?
HUBBY - no because dia cerewet?

11. STRONG CHARACTER.
ME - i used to think so, but not anymore :(
HUBBY : YES

12. BORN TO BE SUCCESSFUL
ME - i dont know. i dont consider myself as successful yet
HUBBY - i think so

13. OBSERVANT
ME - yes, i like to observe things/people
HUBBY - NO

14. CREATIVE BENT OF MIND
ME - i'd like to think i'm creative  (well creative is subjective, right?)
HUBBY - i hate to say he is (hehe, kes jeleslah ni), but sometimes he is

15. CARING AND LOVING
ME - yes, i have such a soft heart (quote from my former senior engineer 'Macam tofu' - sabor jela)
HUBBY - only to his loved ones

16.  FAITHFUL FRIEND
ME - i don't know how my friends define me
HUBBY - i think he is

see, even me and hubby who shared the same birth month pun tak sama character...

..the designer handbag..

ni entry sengal. haha.

saya bukan peminat handbag. but i have to admit that deep down there is a little keinginan nak memiliki designer handbag. see, i warned you this is a sengal entry. tapi keinginan tu sikit jela. for now :P

tapi, me being rational and being me - menghabiskan beribu2 ringgit just for a handbag? ok, i know it's not just handbag, but still, sayangnya duit...

tapi tulah, kalau beli magazine banyak sangat lah iklan designer handbags ni buat i terliur je.

i pernah mengutarakan permasalahan ini pada hubby dearest - tapi respondnya agak sarcastic di situ - i quote " kalau beli yang ori pun, orang tau ke yang itu ori" haha. macam tahu je niat tak baik i.

sudahlah. i pun tau i takkan beli designer hangbag ni - i was not born i luxury and don't live in one either. so kita bersederhana jelah (ayat macam nak sedapkan hati jek wakakak)

lagipun saya jenis yang tak pandai nak jaga harta benda. so, adakah sesuai? nak beli bukan senang, nak kena saving beberapa bulan gak tu, and kalau lepas beli tak pandai jaga - huhu, kerugian..

haih, this is so tempting btw.

bestnya jadi rich and famous people ni kan..

tak pandai masak, terus sign in cooking class.

takut naik kapal terbang, boleh pergi buat akupuntur or hypnotization <---is this spelling even correct? nak hilangkan rasa ketakutan tu.

nak rasa sihat, pergi detoxification spa.

not to mention the birthday celebration and wedding lah kan...

i mean, can they really do anything that does not involve A LOT of money?

i'm so jealous... T_T

kalau i tak pandai masak, kena cuba dan cuba lagi sampai pandai.

kalau takut naik kapalterbang, err..takut ke?  in fact, think i'll be excited sebab tak pernah naik flight lagi sepanjang 28 tahun hidup ni..huhu..pathetic sungguh.

nak rasa sihat..well err..aktiviti paling murah (which is free) - bangun awal on weekend pergi jogging kat Hutan Bandar.




macam langit dan bumi.

..Handphone Downgrading..

sejarah W850i ni - merupakan one of our wedding hantaran back in 2008. En Hubby yang beli, tapi saya yang letak kat hantaran untuk dia, dan lepas tu saya yang menjadi pemiliknya. pic is from Yahoo Image because by the time I'm writing this, the phone is missing in action. maybe i misplaced kot and malas nak cari.

saya sayang phone ni walaupun bukanlah pilihan saya - setakat ni saya tak pernah baling-baling dia. kalau terjatuh tak sengaja tu adalah. siap beli handphone cover supaya badannya tidak tercalar-balar. tapi, walaupun ditatang sebegitu rupa, dia tetap memberontak :(

mula-mula skrin dia problem. kadang-kadang jadi blank tak nampak apa-apa, tapi still boleh receive incoming calls. kadang-kadang skrin jadi berbelang-belang and kadang-kadang tulisan kat skrin jadi upside down.

last week dia terus merajuk. terus tak boleh on.

mujurlah ada back-up phone. ni zaman tok kadok punya model - beli masa praktikal dulu.

ya, dah buruk kan keadaan dia? tapi sangat tahan lasak ni. walaupun dah beratus-ratus kali dibaling ke dinding dan berkecai, masih lagi setia to serve its master. hehehe. tapi bab-bab baling tu dululah, sebelum kawen. sekarang tidak lagi *wink.

dia tak ada kamera, dan sekarang dia dah tak boleh 'baca' memory card which means no more games, no more mp3, blablabla- tapi basic function (call and sms and even receiving mms) masih ok.

the most important of all, this is the first handphone i fell in love with. jadi, bersama semula dengan cinta pertama. downgrade pun downgrade lah :P

..Teori Hidup..

Lakukan apa yang diminati secara bersungguh-sungguh = Kejayaan luar biasa

-Quoted from Nona, 7 Feb 2010-

A few example on how passion can make you world's sucessful people - well, these are from various passion, just to name a few.

Martha Stewart

Jimmy Choo

Bill Gates

all pics are from Yahoo Image.

..Medan LV..

Louis Vuitton?

hehe, bukan. ni Medan Luton Van situated at Dataran Bandaraya JB - area Hotel Thistle (dulu Hotel Hyatt) sana.

One of our favourite food corner kat Jb ni.

Banyak sangat gerai kat sini tapi our favourite stall is Gerai No 8.

Harga mengikut warna lidi. ada yang 50sen, RM1 and RM1.50 sebatang.

And our favourite style - yong tau foo (which is with soup).

yang ni kena request - kuah kacang.

ada jugak gerai lain selain steambot ni macam char kuey, nasi goreng, err, tak ingat lagilah... but the best kat sini mestilah steambot / young tau foo.

..Tooth Fairy..

watched this last week.. hilarious - so go watch it :)

i think The Rock and kids make such a good combination. just like his previous The Game Plan.

i wont watch The Rock film yang tak melibatkan budak2 cute (macam Scorpion King la..huhu, no way)

......

i wonder and somewhat a little 'amazed'..

how can you talk too much when you know too little??!!!!!

this person is so pathetic!

..take one minute..

take one minute..

just breathe the air

enjoy the moment

enjoy what you have..
