Salamz everyone

Ya, straight to the point. These are all the pix and shot taken by my bff, Lian from newlyweds photo and obviously she will be one my becoming bridesmaid for my big day. Amir, her partner couldnt be with us on the photoshoot since he was way back in Johor. But Bard and Yana was there as well to accompany us for the whole journey of the photoshoot yg panas giler! Seriously! Nasib baik dapat break jap while enjoying our cranberries sparkling juice. I heart that! Hehe. It all started early in the morning (not exactly early lar since my fiance ada hal plak kat office) with full of laughter! Camner la nak buat photoshoot while the photographer are one of my bff! Confirm hancus la kan! Lian, lian.

Special thanks goes to Lian, Bard and Yana for making the day! You guys rock!

Salam Aidilfitri

•September 28, 2009 • 9 Comments

Salamz everyone,

Ya, its already 8th of Syawal and i hope that it’s not too late to wish everyone out there Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Afterall, Syawal will last for a month kan? Me and the rest of the family really had a great Raya this year. But, things do happen.

Recap!

  1. My mum’s addicted to FB and she keep updating her status everytime she finished and completed her work. Pendek kata, pc on je kat rumah! and she uploaded a lots of Raya photos compared to me. Not even one. Hahaha.
  2. Makan-makan and masak-masak at home since this is the first time we celebrate 1st day of raya in Kuantan. for the past 22 years, i’ve been celebrating my first raya at Tuk’s and Wan’s home at Kuala Lipis, and this year we changed the plan.
  3. Raya until early morning! hehehe.
  4. I’m still disqualified of giving duit raya to cousins, nieces and nephews. But they do give me an early warning. No more next year. Arghh!
  5. Water tank in the main bathroom burst on 3rd day of Raya. Me and my bro tend to help Pakcik Sudin in removing and replacing new water tank. Dah mcm bangla and indon dah rupanya. hahaha.
  6. Sad one, my niece (my cousin’s daughter) caught up with an accident on 3rd day of Raya itself. Admitted to ICU and undergo an operation on 4th Raya to remove out the blood clog.
  7. Lian’s (my bff) bf caught up with an accident as well. some fracture here and there. hope that he’ll be fine.

Suddenly, i remembered of this quote, posted it my previous photoblog last Ramadhan. Hope you’ll be ok Lian!

Kadang-kadang Allah sembunyikan matahari
Dia datangkan kilat dan petir
Kita menangis dan tertanya-tanya
Kemana hilangnya sinar
Rupa-rupanya Allah hadiahkan kita pelangi

Paris Van Java

•September 9, 2009 • 12 Comments

Salamz everyone

Paris Van Java? Ya, its Bandung. It supposed to be famous on all the Dutsch heritage but it seems that it is now famous due to the blooming factory outlet store at every roadside. And not to forget good talent in the entertainment world. I was there a week before puasa. And so happen that on that week itself the H1N1 death cases keep increasing day by day. But we still decided to proceed with the plan since the ticket dah beli 6 months ago. And i need to go to get my stuff for my mission as well. Thats the main plan. My colleagues sms me while i was walking to the custom “U gi mana plak nie this time? berjalan jek! i saw u with ur surgical mask on and ur green shirt, tats u kan? i’m on my way to Penang for a meeting”. Tergelak jek baca, stalker punya colleagues, pakai surgical mask pun leh recognize!

Once we touched down in Bandung airport, we hardly get the taxi since we did not ask our supir to pick us up where it was easy to get taxi before this. While waiting, i saw the Indonesia flags were put up everywhere and i did asked one of the taxi coordinator there “ada acara apa yang Pak diletak benderanya kayak gini?” and he replied that, it will be their independent day on Monday! Gosh, salah time nie. And Bandung town will be packed with Jakarta peoples since it was only 2 hours drive with highway. Lagi plak cuti on Monday tue. ermm, luckily our supir is really good with the road. We hardly stuck in the traffic jam. Macet, macet!

For real, i’m such a travel addicted and snapping up the photos around. But in Bandung, i have to admit since i dont take much photos there. Mana taknya, my 2 hands is full with stuff and plastic bag. Arggh! hehehe. But mission accomplished! Happy! I did even leave my camera bag with the supir sbb tak larat nak bawak barang banyak-banyak nanti. Mum’s and sis are really familiar with all the roads since they went there frequently in a year.

I think the best part of the trip was Kampung Daun! Its a cultural village and when we was there, they were having a night market and we could try out all the local delicacies. The ambience was great and not to mentioned their Strawberry Juice. Terbaik!

And yes, they are celebrating their independent day on 17 August. Btw, Jonas Photo rocks! I bought quite a number of frames. Hahaha. Sampai kena gelak with my friends. Penuh backpack and my luggage bag. Tapi murah lar and the design is different as well. Can’t resist to take home.

Argghh, mission date ticking! Ok, ok, i’m almost there.

P.S : My mum’s is having her own FB acc. hehehe. for real! if last time pandai YM, skrang dah ada webcam at home and asked me to give her a tutorial on how to use the facebook via video call! Apakah? Wasn’t that cute? Mama, mama.

My Lil Sis

•August 27, 2009 • 13 Comments

Salamz everyone,

Big congrats to my lil sis on her recent convocation just before puasa. She will always been our lil sis in the family forever. And i still remember my mum’s favourite quote “itu je lar satu-satunya adik yang awak ada”. And when we heard this, we automatically did everything that my lil sis wanted without any further comment. Ini agak-agaknya salah satu faktor manjakan adik ek?

She graduated in civil engineering and she is currently doing her postgraduate studies in the same uni. My elder sis told me that when they were in the hall, she can see my mum’s crying and i bet she must be very happy since my lil sis were last in the family and all of us are finally graduated in our own fields. Alhamdullillah.

Once again, Zareda aka Akak, if you are reading this, Big Congrats and all the best. We are really proud of you!

•August 12, 2009 • 8 Comments

Salamz everyone,

Hanie, my bff and Fahmie, a new friend of mine got engaged last mid July. I didn’t have a chance to be there on their engagement due to some reason since i need to go back to my hometown. Sorry to both of them and i hope i can make myself available this coming February, Insya allah. Ikut turn ok!

I knew that Fahmie yang paling marah to both of us (me and En. Tunang) for not being there masa their engagement. To Hanie’s mum, sorry jugak! I even received a phone call from Fahmie late evening asking me the reason why i’m not there during the event. Tapi takper, this is for you guyz and Fahmie, jangan bising2 kat facebook lagik ok!

She

•July 22, 2009 • 12 Comments

Salamz everyone,

This is a conversation between us (me, sis and bro) and our beloved mom. She sometimes got confused in the words, terms, peoples that she used in her conversation. And sometimes she make us confused as well.

1st conversation
Mama : Mama rasa cam nak gi Harvey Davidson la nanti. I’m looking for something.
Us : Huh? (looking at each other). Mama! Its Harvey Norman lar.
Mama : Ha’ah lar. Sorry2.

2nd conversation happened when we were watching APM’09
Mama : Mama tgk Faizal Tahir dah mcm “black magic” dah, with all the nail polish and eye liner.
Us : Huh? Mama, did you mean “black metal”?
Mama : Ohh ya, its black metal ek? Bukan black magic lar. Hahaha. I’m confused la plak. Tadik kan we were talking about David Blaine.

3rd conversation
Mama : That day i watched this series Numb-Er(the pronunciation). Besh jugak. A police investigation with the help of math professor.
Us : Huh? (looking at each other, and kitaorang plak yang confused). Mama did you mean Numb3r, the guys with the curly hair tue ek?
Mama : How is the pronouncation again? Number ek?
Us : Laughing out loud!

This is some of the conversation that i could remember. The list goes on and on. Afterall, she’s rock! Seriously, i really mean it. We love her so much. Btw, she keep buzzing me in the YM skrang nie. Mentang2 dah pandai YM kan. Hehehe. I guess facebook next ek Mama?

Salamz everyone,

After quite sometimes (i think the last trip back to Kuantan was in mid May), i’m finally home. I’m going back to Kuantan today! Ya, i know. Kuantan and KL was not that far, tapi aper boleh buat. I’m working on saturday and i have Sunday duty as well.  Hampir 2 bulan tak balik rumah? Wow! But i definitely have a very big excuses since my beloved mum is in KL almost every week. Hehehe.

My first thought “nak makan aper ek?”. The list goes on guys!

Btw, just wanna wish Big Congrats to my bff, Hanie on her engagement today. Sorry since i can’t make it. And not to forget Fahmi as well.

Dune Bashing Anyone?

•July 9, 2009 • 11 Comments

Salamz everyone,

Opps, i did it again! Ya, its been a month. Just checked on my mail and i found this short video cut by my dear friends who are also in the trip to Dubai last November. I still remember that the last day we were all there, we got a chance to put ourself in for a Dune Bashing trip. Itupun booked by our new friends that we knew, Tokei Kedai tempat kitaorang borong silk. I bet most of Malaysian who went to Dubai mesti sure singgah kat Pulwani’s or well known as stewardess boutique store. I don’t even know how on earth they got that name tapi sangat senang nak tawar menawar since they are very fluent in bahasa and they served Teh Tarik!

By the way, we started our journey after zohor prayers and we should reached the desert by noon. It took us an hour to reach there. I’m suprised since there are an amount of tourist. Huge amount i guess! Ramai giler and i think its around 30 four wheel drive and each car can fit around 5 pax. And its almost time when the marshall horn it off to start the journey. Before that, all the drivers are making the preparation by inflating the tyre. Kalau tak, mampus tergolek dalam jeep tue nanti.

Our talented driver Haniff always making fun of us and reminded us not to take food and drink where he afraid that we would throw up later on through the journey. But to be honest, the first 10 minutes je kitaorang jerit giler giler when Haniff showing his skills off. And later than that, kitaorang dengan selamba nya layan makan Lays and minum diet coke dalam jeep tue. Hahahaha. Angin je Haniff. Sorry Haniff but the journey is really a long way to go before we reach Basecamp nak tgk Joget Lambak, naik unta and try ATV!

null

null

But afterall, it was such an experience. I won’t forget the camel ride, the arabic joget lambak (giler argghh) and ATV ride. And paling sakit hati bile tgk local peoples gi mini market naik ATV. What the fish! Macam naik basikal waktu petang jek. Not to forget, BBQ daging unta. Argh, i won’t try it again, i think i can only drink the camel milk tapi the kids type ajer ok.

This is the video given by friends, such a long video since it show the overall journey from noon to midnite tapi sudah dicut.

 

Ya, i know it was such a backdated entry, tapi tak kisah la kan. hehehe. This year kena kurangkan berjalan since H1N1 kan? such a lame reason. Cakap je lar dah almost bancrupt kan since i got another mission this year.
