Hello World

Hellew.  What a beautiful morning I had today.  I woke up at 5:30, took the train at 7:20, reached my destination at 8:00..Well, I should say a total change in my schedule.

9 years of working, I never took the train to work.  I drove.  Now I can see people walk here and there with books, laptops, electronic gadgets. I could sense the early morning vibes which I never did before.  That's beautiful to me.  I can see different people every day.

The best sight that I saw was when people from every races put up tables to sell nasi lemak, kuih, soya bean, newspapers.. There's a lot of them.  Customers swarmed like ants coming from both of the stations to buy breakfast.  Their return of investment can be pretty high..tskkk.   

What not nice to watch was an old lady sitting down on a bench with a pair of torn sneakers (bet she dug it from the dustbin) looking at the pedestrians with a pair of sad eyes.  I don't know what I felt, it cut me deep.  Not far away from her, laid a man with his private part flashing and disgusting yellowish liquid flowed from him.  Oohh.

Yerp, I think that's all I have in my mind right now.  I am 30 minutes away to see my new boss to report duty, and to see the new team that I will linger around for the next couple of years.

See you guys soon....

I suited up with black and grey attire. Dressed safe. Vibrant attire is a big no-no on anyone's first day at work. Its a neat look.  But I'm thinking of wearing sport-shoes to work than these aching heels.

Hai Hai....:) ..Assalamualaikum....

I don't really know where to start.  Maybe by apologizing is a good idea.  Well, friends, sorry for not updating you guys with my 'current affairs'.  There are so many things happen and I just couldn't keep up with my time.

2011 is a good year for my family and I. 

• We had a 20-days of vacation, 
• After 2 years of waiting, we received our house key, and
• I have resigned!

Our 20-days-vacation was definitely memorable.  We had our mini adventures discovering places in England, Paris and Ireland, especially in London.  We walked, took buses and trains to commute.  Even though it was summer, it was 40°c hot only for 2 days, but the temperature dropped afterward between 20°c - 11°c.  I was relieved that our 'cuti-cuti' fund was enough for the whole trip.

Big Ben & The Houses of Parliament, Westminster, London

Secondly,  The House.  Its a simple built double-storey house I shall say.  I fell in love with it the minute I saw the plan and we were lucky to seal the deal 2 years ago.  The house key was actually released earlier than we expected.  It is ready but our 'rumah-rumah' account has not mature yet.  We are giving it a year or two, or maybe three to put things together.   

Third is about resigning.  After 5 years of service, I finally decided to leave.  I never thought that I could stay that long.  Bitter sweet memories, I have here in the company.  Despite from that, I've made friends with amazing people from every department, and I am glad and happy to know and work with them.    

Other than all these three highlights, I am also actively selling 'kerepek', 'custard pudding' and 'cheese cakes'.  It is a part time job that I hope can sustain as long as I live.  Its not a big margin business but it is satisfying and enjoyable.  My day starts early, as I need to bake, cook, and pack.  The usual time that I use to blog has being used for these slots.

Then go to work. Leaves work at 6.  Reaches home at 7.  Cook and have dinner at 8.  Then I am left with 2 hours of  fun time with my 2-year-old.  Everything shuts down at 10. 

Phew, at last I managed to complete this post.  Hopefully its not too long.  I just wish that I have more time to write in the future.  With this I leave you guys with a bit of entertainment.  Enjoy....

5 Raya Zenhabits...

Since its the final week of raya..I bet everyone has becoming busy bees...The last minute shopping is a definite..as more discounts and offers being thrown here and there...Anyhow, this year i've tried out what i called the 'raya zenhabits' ...It really works especially when you have a 1-year-old toddler...

1. Do the 'major' shopping before ramadhan even started

I bought myself few baju kurung..sometime in march - june this year...mr shan's and rania's a month before ramadhan....our plan is to avoid any instances that can cause the budget to burst...Plus when there are less people crowding the area..the more options/varieties that you would have...

2. Clean (Vacum,Mopping,cleaning the toilet) the house every 2 days.

I am having a hectic year this year...Months ago..I was so not organized, it reflects so much in both of my career and personal life...so I started making this as a habit..and I can feel the differences now....

3. Wash the curtain, floor mats, cushions, baju raya..2 weeks before raya..

Everybody does this...no big thingy...I always frowned everytime my mother asked me to do this when I was a kid...now, it is just like one of the most 'pengajaran yg berguna'....

4. "One in, two out" rules...there are new stuff coming in..it 'MEANS' i need to donate old things...

Heard it before?....I learned this from the Oprah show sometime 4-5 years ago....It is not that hard, really...if we can think of those people who need it more than us....

5. Clear out the cabinets...once a fortnight

Now I will always have room and space for everything...especially those balang kuih...


-Selamat Ber'Shopping' Raya Semua-

Yuna - Decorate

Al-Fatihah...

I never knew Allahyarhamah, but I came across this news and poem that really touched my deepest heart.  I found out that she wrote this 2 weeks before she passed away, for her daughter, Hylda's 2nd birthday...Alfatihah to Allahyarhamah Norhasyimah Wahid..semoga Allah tempatkan kamu di kalangan orang2 yg beriman...

Poem For Hylda

I’m missing the warmth they offer
I’m missing the laughters that accompanied them always
Which magically instantly chase all the blues away..
And makes it seem possible to shoulder the world once again..

Hylda turns two today
The lonesome feels stronger today
I wish i can be with her
Singing happy birthday song to her
And see she blows the candle light away

And there he was my sweetheart
Always there
To shoo the guilt away
And bring in the sunshine to brighten up our days..
As always..

Dear Babygurl,
Daddy bought you a nice big birthday cake
For you to enjoy with your friends at school
Just in case you stopped a second to wonder
Where mommie is today..

Alhamdulillah
Allah is great
I get to see my babygurl
On her special day of turning two years old today
And the sadness slowly fades away
Seeing her singing birthday song again and again
Enjoying the attention she gets despite her mommie is away

Alhamdulillah
I am happy to see that my babygurl is happy today...
