New Year New House

Our previous house we rented has cracked to the max. Yes, it is literally cracked. Especially the wall of our master bedroom. We can actually see lights from the staircase. Since we are comfortable living in the neighbourhood, we decided to find a house in the area as well. Despite that there are no school bus for my Amalin who is attending a school in Section 7. Most of them are schooling either in Section 9, 6 & 4. So why did we send Amalin to Section 7? Because the father likes the school. Its still new. Anyway we didn't encounter transportation problem the first few months. Until the bus driver suddenly feels like quitting and he did! And a headache to us as the bus operator couldn't find a replacement. So hubby being sending her to school everyday and sometimes we pick her up from school. Other times, my sister pick her up. 

With the new house, a slight change, I'm still putting on hope that everything will turn out well. Even though there is still minor worry of whether things will happen again. I couldn't just put it away because I don't want to be too comfortable when things happen. I want to have firm feet on the ground shall it strike. 

Some people which I haven't realize before do makes me feel good about myself. I know I'm being taken care of in nice ways. Just by asking simple question like how am I doing means a lot to me. So I would like to say thank you to these people. You know who you are.

Welcoming The New Year

I've been hooked up with a lot of things. Hence, the abandoned blog. Hooked with work and personal life. 2010 has bring me joy but at the same time a lot of emotional drama. So many unbelievable things happened and yet I believe it happened because of reason. Perhaps Allah is planning something good for me? No one knows. I'm just hoping for the very best.

The things happened I just couldn't put into words. It will remains as part of my life and I have to accept that. Its just that I need to thinnk how to avoid it. Close friends might understand, well, some don't. But everyone has been supportive toward me and I do appreciate it. Some giving me 100% support on the decision I've made and the other percentage might just say, "are you sure you are not regrettting it?". I couldn't guarantee on it. The hope things will work out well is my only chance. Pray for me. 

This new beginning of 2011, I'm putting so much hopes of things will get better and better, not for myself but also for everyone. Let us spread happiness everywhere. 

Happy New Year to All and May It Birngs You Health, Joy n Prosperity.

Face Masks

My mind being a bit numb for the past few days. Couldn't think whats right or whats wrong. Just a film of memory keeps on playing again and again. As if I press play and then when it has finished, I press rewind button and it starts all over again. But all these reminded me of the masks that I'm wearing or more like I have to wear it. 

I have put a brave, happy, nothing happen and all sorts of face masks to hide the deepest feeling inside me. I dare not putting face masks like sad, pity me or that sorts when my dignity is put at stake. But then again, suddenly I remembered, normally emotions shows through eyes. We can't lie what we are actually feeling deep inside. If someone were to look at you straight in the eyes, he/she will eventually ask, tell me what happen. 

If the person is your best friend, you'll not hesitate to pour out everything even jeopardizing your dignity. You'll be telling the whole story from A to Z. And being a good listener, she/he will try to help you in anyway. Moral, financial or whatever sorts of support you needed that time. 

In my case, I would rather keep it silence. I avoid eye contact, avoid having casual talk with my bff as I don't think I'm ready enough to tell the truth. Nothing but the whole truth. Until when I would keep this silence, I wouldn't know. It doesn't bring me any good. But I just can't help it to pour it out. Its so humiliating. 

I'm not expecting you to understand what I'm writing. Its just a reminder for myself for what I've been going through. And yes, it hurts. 

Have a great weekends everyone. Enjoy it with your love ones. TTFN.

A Training I Enjoyed Most So Far

This week it started off so good. I attended a 2-days course at The Curve. Interesting place to have a course kan? This course is actually the second part of my 3 modules on leadership. This time round instead of having the normal theory session, we played a board game. The objective of the game is how you are going to sustain your business, where are you leading your business and all sorts of business related.

Its like a monopoly but different concept. Perhaps I could say its like a Donald Trump monopoly? Well, everyone in the course were enjoying the game. For lunch, we had at 2 different places this time. And better taste from the first time we were having the course there. And they served starter and desserts as well. The only thing we hated about the course was.. we have to do an assignment. Yes, for this leadership course, each module has their own assignment that we need to submit. And we have 2 session on coaching to guide us in giving the correct or best answers. Not bad. But it really take time to do it plus the existing office work. I wonder how those who further study manage to do it. Whatever it is, I know I can do it.

Signing off now. Enjoy your weekends folks. TTFN!

End of Honeymoon Time

As the title suggested, today is the end of our honeymoon time. The kids have arrived safely from Kelantan. Alhamdullillah.. But I didn't manage to see them before I'm off to work this morning. So I'm going back straight to home in a while. 

While they are gone, we have few activities placed. It started off on Wednesday night on 15th Sept, 2010. We make a double date with my cousins to have steamboat for dinner. She suggested a place in Ampang. It's eat all you can style so for being us, it's so worth it. The place is called Restoran Q Thai Village. You may refer it at this page for telephone no, location map and so on. Click this link. The tom yam soup is superb and it's very spicy. So those who can't stand the spicyness you can take up the normal chicken soup. It's tasty as well. The spread is a lot. They have all kinds of fishball and friends, vege, mushrooms, and seafood. All are fresh. After we have loaded ourselves with the food, my hubby and I were too tired to drive back to Shah Alam. So my cousin, being generous enough, invite us to sleep over at her house. And we agreed so readily. Thanks cous!

So the next morning, everyone woke up very late well, it's more toward the guys who woke up late. As usual the women need to prepare breakfast. So kinda of having brunch. Pancakes with honey, sausages and half-boiled eggs. All are finished within seconds. Huh! As if we have not eaten in such a long time. Then when the stomach has been filled to the max again, our eye lids couldn't be opened wide anymore. Again, everyone dozed off and we have planned to go to Melaka. We scheduled it at 3pm but it only took-off at 5pm. And by that time, we were hungry again. We decided to try out the Triple Cheeseburger. But Mr H missed it. He thought the restaurant is located after the Sg Besi toll. So, there were no more Mc'D along the way. We then decided to have it in Melaka. Since my cousin going to see her long lost teacher who stays in Terendak, we took the Alor Gajah exit. Sadly to say, there were no Mc'D there. Anyone opening up a Mc'D there? We have to settle for KFC. 

The burger we longed for.... Sigh...

Then only everyone is smiling and we move on to the next agenda. Meeting up my cousin's long lost teacher. We stay there for about an hour or so. Then next to Mr H's cousin in Bukit Baru. She invite us to eat. Apparently she has cooked Nasi Beriani, Ayam Masak Merah, Dalca, Acar Timun and Kerabu Tomato. Who can resist that? Then at about 10.30pm, we make a move to go back to Melaka. 

And along the way exiting to highway, there were about 3-4 Mc'Ds along the road side... How cruel it can be? No.. we did not stop for it. There were no room for triple cheeseburger. We headed straight to KL and we arrived in Shah Alam at 12.30am after sending back my cousins. That's the end of our children less program.

Okay, I'm signing off. Its time to see my precious ones. TTFN! Have a nice weekends!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Assalamualaikum and hello to all....

My family and I would like to wish all muslim Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and sorry for all the wrongdoings we've done.

I'm back from my short leave. Shall I mention the word "short"? Yes! Definitely. As some people are so lucky to have this whole week off. Jealous? Well, yes but not that much. Thinking that the road will again be jammed. My trip yesterday was smooth. Officially we take-off from Kota Bharu roughly about 7.30pm. Unofficially we left the house at 4.10pm! Where we went? Well, we try to get our stock of serunding. Unfortunately they ran out of stock! Then we headed to buy some other things. Then Mr H wanted to see his friends and we were stuck in the jammed for one and half hours. Ohhh... just don't ask me how do I feel about it... I was simmering nicely inside the car despite of the coldness of the air-conditioning. So I made my own conclusion that just because Mr H needs to see his friends, we were late. And I have to work today. I'm still feeling tired.

Instead of using the Gua Musang-Kuala Lipis route, we decided to use the Lojing-Simpang Pulai route. Less vehicles there. Less 10 vehicles in total. Then at around 12pm, my cousin called me from Cameron Highlands asking us to join them there. So since we were hungry, Mr H agreed to climb the highland with our new Savvy. And I could say I'm 100% recommending the car to anyone who would like to purchase compact cars. The car can easily climb the hills, petrol saving and the best part, it doesn't fail you when you are handling the cornering. But, being a national car, there are still some hiccups which at the moment I can still manage not to have it. We reached Tanah Rata about 12.40pm and finding a place to eat at that hour is a very hardwork. At last we end up at the mamak there. That's the only place available. Unfortunately most of the food has gone....

My cousin and her husband was trying to persuade me to sleep there and took today's off. They rented an apartment and have extra bedroom. And start listing all the good things we can do overthere. However, I was behaving like a saint last night and insisted that we shall be leaving to KL soon. And they were not happy.

We left Cameron about 3.15am. And we reached Shah Alam about 5.30am. We have a quick nap just to let the body rest for a while then off Mr H send me to work. And I am late for work today. I reached office at about 9.30am. And I am so hungry!

Alright, I'm signing off now... So those who are still in kampung, have a safe journey back. And don't over eat during the open houses invitations! TTFN...

Memories Lingering

I was waiting for my husband to pick me up the other day at one of the LRT stations. And there was a group of college students chit chatting among themselves. I think their issue was how to spend that evening together. I'm not going to tell story about them. It's just how I remembered myself when I was at their age. The college years or the student life.

I enjoyed my student life so much. Whether during secondary school or college. I enjoyed both. So less to think about problems of life. Not to think of house rentals, whether my children will excel in school, where my husband is and so on. All I need to think were whether my assignments is good enough for the lecturers, can I send it on time, what's my exam result going to be and would I make it through? Much more simple questions to answer rather than with career and marriage life.

My friends and I used to spend the whole day at water theme park just to ease our tension for the upcoming exams. Or we might just go for a shopping trip. That time our favourite place was either Sungai Wang Plaza or Bukit Bintang Plaza. Movies were always up-to-date. I think I was going for the movie mostly every week! Oh.. how I long for those days.

But those days remained those days. We need to grow up and take life as it is. Take it slow or fast, it depends on ourselves how we deal with it. Life experiences are the lessons which teach us how to be mature. How to overcome problem that occurs. The lessons we attended in classes are to enhance our decision making. That is my opinion.

Well, I think most of us enjoy the student life as well. That was the time when we live life at the fullest. Do whatever things we want to do. And those were the days.......
