How I met my Mr. Right!!

Honestly, I never care to look for LOVE as to me it will come eventually even we don’t bother to seek. All I cared about was WORK , DAD, SISTERS, NIECE and FUN…..But things changed when I was introduced to this tall and dashing lad by a friend of mine, Shasha in 2004.

I was at the Starbucks KLCC baru lepas lepak2 with my buddies after office hour. Suddenly Shasha called me and said ‘Shigim, I have someone to introduce you with’ and I pulak like ‘ Ala, Shasha..don’t bother I’m just fine being single la….’. Persistently, she said ‘ala,kejap jer, this guy memang baik and my friend la.. Kalau you tak interested, you treat as a friend je…I pon ok jer …Kawan bior beribu kan….Then, they came and join me kat Starbucks. First impression :  ‘seriousnya this guy’ (the look) tapi bila dia start sembang memang bestlah.. boleh ngam.. But that day, we had a short stint la sebab I kena balik cepat , jam terok…And I mintak diri ( he claimed this time me as playing hard to get …hehehehe..swear..it’s because of the jam ya). But after few acquitances, memang rasa he is the best breakfast buddy that I had, like every morning/lunch mesti lepak..with or without Shasha. We shared so many stories and being open about it…Honestly tak expect a totally perfect strangers became my good buddy.. Siap kenenkan dia kat orang lain tapi he’s not interested…(without knowing rupa2nya ada udang di sebalik mee)…*wink wink*J

Unfortunately, after a year of lepak-lepaking together, he was assigned to Miri in Sarawak and that time I rasa….DAMN!! Boringnya… And I noticed I had a different feeling when he was there…RINDUUUU yang teramat tapi I still control the machoness and buat2 cam biasa.. So once he’s in KL for meeting memang  tak lepas peluang jumpa.. Tapi sedih when he has to go back to Miri. Same story if I go to Miri, he’ll entertain me makan2 and lepak .. Bila balik teringat la pulak…haiyoooo…Tapi I bzkan diri with keja and deny my feelings until he’s back in 2006. Right after he’s back, I noticed the way he look at me was so different. Akhirnya, ter ‘spill out of the bean bag’  about his real feelings towards me.. I yang terkembang setaman ni suka bagai nak rak but still I ask for few days to think of it… Indeed, I solat istikharah and seek my family opinions.. Alhamdulillah, everything positive and without realizing, we dah jumped into marriage topic by end 2007.

Dah pulak he was assigned to  Houston for  a year .. Time tu memang another mati kutu berlaku dalam hidup sebab dahlah nak kawen, kena pulak handle sorang2…Tapi memandangkan ke ‘power’anku in multitasking, all the details on wedding  berjaya  jugak dilaksanakan dengan assistance from my family. And I updated him on everything I’ve done.. Dia ok jer….And his family came for risik and tunang terus in June 2007 . So basically a month tunang, both of us got married in a beautiful wedding on 5^th July 2007 (and guess what

I still keep the wedding log book – invitation list, to do list etc…..yeaayyy!!)

And I love him every single days, hours, minutes and seconds…..I want to grow old gracefully with him, perform our ibadah together and ideally he become the IMAM  of the family.

Until my last breath, I want him to love me unconditionally and to redha and forgive segala dosa2 I  if I’m no more around (Seorang isteri yang meninggal and suaminya redha, InsyaAllah syurga baginya).

I do not have wealth, but I have lots of love to give and I gave you zuriat that will lead us together to Jannah, InsyaAllah. I’m Glad and Happy dikurniakan anak2 yang comel dan bijak…Alhamdulillah ….

Sorry ya kengkawan… This post agak fairlong(*feeling) sikit….please bear with me…J

Weekend Shopping ....Again!!!

Nak dijadikan cerita last weekend, I heard that Radiusite's owner is launching a new apparels brand named 'DREEMIKA' ... So pagi2 lagi dah memang tahap gigih menejenguk butik tu kat Seksyen 7, Shah Alam tapi sad to say baru pukul 9.30 a.m. while the launcing event starts at 11.00 a.m...Semangat wehhh!! So dengan muka tebal balik rumah and buat2 muka tenging....heheheh...

Again pukul 11.00 terus pecut back accompanied by Ida and Zikry...Satu batalion daku hangkut...Memang happening dan pening..sebab semua cantik...Ala...sebab keterujaan..as usual tak sempat snap photo but I managed to snap my catch of the day....Yippie...Enjoice!!

the paper bag..shanteeekkk

                                Actually this glittery one is size M but the difference not much from L; so decided to hangkut terus..mmg men'gurus'kan diriku yang tak berapa nak kurus...huhuhu...

Yang ni memang meletopz, beli just in case for function... match dengan turban Majestic Raffiey Nasir... wahhh ..kebabom la mak, nokss!

The best thing that I love is that the dessert station and balloon for the kids.. Memang meriah la launcing dia...We all siap bawak balik Cupcakes yang super sedap, cotton candy buckets and lollipops...And the best thing is not going to end here...The best of ALL.....

                                                     DREEMIKA VIP CARD


                                          Best! Best ! Best! Nanti boleh dapat discount........


Then, we went pulak to Zawara...grab this Emerald Green skirt...Very flowy and stylish for hijabista like Mua!!!

                                                Nice new packaging....Bravo Zawara...

Then we while waiting the Najjah boutique opens, we just strolled at one of the arcade near to Zawara.. I got myself a Purple hoodie cardigan...Woot Woot.. STEAL!!!

Once Najjah boutique buka pintu jer, SERBUUUUU.....

The owner , Aunty Nafsiah is such fun and nice lady. She even let me try most of the collections and the best of all..free tutorial on how to wear ' Tudung Syria' ..I mean in not a kelepet way.. It really works and fit just nice ...Thank you....My catch...u all just c la!! Haish...Damage done again...

I've been eyeing this baju dah lama...baru sekarang hamba mendapat...Alhamdulillah...

This is the tudung syria Najjah that I told you guys earlier...Memang shapy, light and nice..yang penting tak panas...

So that's my shopping episode...Will share more later....Bye..Take care...

Ohhh Bandung! Heaven for Lace Lovers

Salam and apologise for my longgg hiatus. Been busy with the job and family but the best things are about to be shared. After a long long years, I have confession to make.. I've never been to INDONESIA all my life!!So, I've decided that I need a break and go to Bandung for a shopping trip . At the same time to survey business opportunities for my own designed- scarf...definitely a lacey type, which is my favourite... Really...

Off we go with Air Asia, since that's the only flight to Bandung from Kuala Lumpur. If we opt for MAS, we need to travel extra 4 hours which is insane for me to agree since I have an infant (not so! he's 1 and a half year now) who refuse to stay put that long...  Worth mentioning, with tonnes of extra charges, the fare is not that cheap anymore...Why la!!! It's a 1 1/2 hour flight which the service has improved a lot since the last time I took to Langkawi few years back. But there was one incident that we had to run to the departure gate ...You know what the departure information board sucks...!!Just imagine it pop up ' Boaring' and the next 10 minutes it stated 'Closing' and announced that we had one minute before the gate is closed. How funny is that? ;P   Being me, I rushed as fast as I could ahead of the rest and gladly there on time without realising everyone was laughing at us for being an ultimate 'Speedy Gonzales'...hehehehehe!!

As soon as sat on the plane...this reminder caught my eyes...'Sabuk Pengaman'..Kalau disebut haram aku tau yang that thing is 'SEAT BELT!!!hehehe...

                                                  Posing wajib kat airport ya.....


We reached there around 5.45p.m. and it's almost dark. Little that I know the Airport is not that big and grande..just took us around 10 minutes until we raech the arrival gate. We checked in at Carcadding Hotel which I have arranged earlier through Agoda (highly recommended *wink *wink...reasonable and very spacious room)...I love the hotel...good breakfast and great customer service.

We reached the hotel 25 minutes after due to the 'MACET' (high traffic)...And guess whattt? The nearest restaurant there just walk away from hotel is Malaysian-owned Bangi Kopitiam!!! Proud and of course more expensive.. But since we were hungry to the max, balunnn jerr...hehehehe...(sorry tak sempat nak ambik gambar sebab penat menunggu supir)...


Day 1:

Off to Pasar Baru early in the morning at 9.30 a.m., the sellers were about to open their shops. How excited we were..Well, we need to serbu those shops , rite? See what I first catch of the day.... Lace la apa lagi..and of course cotton silk yang superbly gorgeous...


                                              
We bought the cotton silk at SONA Textile..Johny and Moli are the owner , very friendly siap offer boleh hantar order to Malaysia.. Superb and cheap...

Then, enter Fabric , in the beginning the tauke was busy texting and don't bother that much when we asked...Only the workers yang beria-ia promote..But when I 'tebor'  many lace selection and i kept on saying..'Yup, potong ini potong itu...immediately the boss bangun entertain...now u know...:P
Siap di'tebor' kat depanku..wah..pengsan bangun balik pengsan lagi....heheheh....help...i just need more juta juta rupiahhh...Rasa nak buat wedding once again...Sebab lace really cheap...Gedik tak!!!

Just imagine we shopped till we really drop, nak makan pon lupa...at last 5.30 pm. baru gerak balik sebab baru perut rasa lapar and of course because they closed at 5.30 p.m. siap dah angkat2 barang.. No choice terpaksa balik; kalau tak mau tidor situ...heheheh...Bertekad nak datang lagi esok sebab Lantai 1 tak setlle lagi...

Then we head to Restoran Sangkuriang, really cosy and clean restaurant. Nice food and fast service buat we all yang rasa lapar nak pengsan satu hari tak makan...

                               Actually we had Nasi Uduk ..tapi sebab really hungry..Licin baru nak snap..boleh??? Yang the green drink is Chocolate Alpukat (Chocolate Avocado)...Yummehhhh....

                          Abaikan the photo sebab lapar sampai tak perasan orang ambik gamborrr.

                           Zarif muka boring sebab Mama tak layan ...tengah khusyuk makan...

Day 2:

At 10.a.m. , dah terpacak kat Pasar Baru Trade Centre , continue Lantai 1 shopping...bought telekong, baju batik for my FIL and hubby...Additional business cards...best!!!Memang set until 12 noon , that's it....

Siap jual air and kuih2 along the path in Pasar Baru..Tapi lepas tengok mamat tuh mencangkung sambil jual..terus tak berselera...

\

Then straight to Rumah Mode, factory outlet yang disebut sebut...Honestly, my opinion, it's as good as F.O.S...Ida and my aunty got nothing for them... I only bought Doraemon pen and angry bird sleepwear for Zikry and long polka dot shawl for me...That's it...The labels are torned/puposely cut...so I believe it's a rejected ones. Very frustrating and not even that close to Factory Outlets that I've been so far.. I refused to go to other Factory Outlets since they marked Rumah Mode is the best. But looking through my current experience, tak sanggup dah nak menempuh even not so good factory outlets..mesti banyak imitation and low grade quality items

                                                           Love this photo...

                                                Nasi Ayam Penyet and Teh Botol ...Authentic gila...

So we went along Jalan Braga (Braga Walk)...I spotted these beautiful mural along the street...creative...Really nice one......Plan to stay at hotel near Braga Walk for our next trip. Wahhh.siap dah plan nak pergi lagi ni....Kes Naya!!

                            Introducing Didi.. our supir yang sangat rajin.. and always..mengangguk and senyum walaupon dia tak ngerti bahasa pasar we oulz...Pemalu and rajin sembang dengan my sis jer.. Lain kali I nak ambik dia jugak ...very punctual...

After going along Braga Walk, off to Toko Tiga..heaven for jeans lovers.. I grabbed 2 gojes Levi's...memang murah and cantek...Night memang plan to lepak Paris Van Java Mall, one of the best mall in Bandung.. All ada ...Sogo, Starbuks, JCo , KFC etc.

 Look at the toilet...Open concept with fish pond. How cool is that? Clean and spacious.. Taklah bersempit-sempitan kencing berjemaah cam kat KLCC tu...haish!

 This is how they indicate Female Toilet.....Confuse masa nak cari tuh...

Dalam toilet pon nak camwhoring gak...aiyooo...janji toilet cantek ok...peduliks hapa...

                              This guy sedang menenun tikar , I guess...rajin betol buat demo...

                                   Rasa macam shopping complex kat Europe la pulak...really nice...

                                                                Me and my lovely aunty

                                                 
                                                Me and Ida di sebalik hanged lamp ...cantik !!

                                           
                                                   Mua and teh botol is soooo inseperable...

                        We had dinner at Karamba Restaurant that night..Tukang tutup kedai.. ...
                          Makan Gurame Goreng..Tofu Goreng and Sayur Chapcay...Sambal Dadak...


Day 3:

Time ni memang sedey sebab nak balik KL...Since our flight is at 1 p.m., so there is still time for shopping...yeayyyy! So borong pisang salai, kek lapis and tempe goreng...

             One of the best kek lapis in town...Tapi I think the one that our driver proposed earlier was much much better...

Lalu lalang ...suddenly terbump into this bali concept spa on a nice building...ohsemmm..imagining myself being massaged.. oops had in-room spa that I forgot to tell you...memang best and urat lega habis...

Last destination...Paris Van Java Mall again!!! Last minute nak beli inner ciput anti tembem...Faham ...i lagi tak faham...belasah jer la...huhuhuu....sempat lunch kat The Taste ...sangat sedap...plus tauhu telur yang bomb.... tapi telah di'bom' oleh Ida terlebih dahulu..so tak sempat nak snap....

 
                                                       Nasi Ayam Penyet... pedas gila!!!

                                                 
                                                   Sotong Goreng Tepung Cenonet(sikit)

  

                                                   Taugeh Jambel ...Jambel tu hapa..no clue...!

Till then, my sharing on our Bandung trip...if you ask me why Zikry is not in the pic..well..i left him with my hubby in Malaysia.. next round, InsyaAllah i'll bring him ....Love ya....
