To live a well-balanced life...

Pheww... Alhamdulillah... I got a new routine now... Just started since 3 days ago... Hurm... Kalau dulu, woke up at 6.55am, kelam kabut solat Subuh and sometimes terbabas tak sempat... Dah terlopong solat Subuh itu... But now... 6.30 am dah bangun... Mandi and terus solat Subuh... Kalau dulu siap2 terus pegi, hubby and me breakie kat ofis masing2 jer la... But now... since dah bangun awal, sempatlah buat 2 mugs of milk (at least buat air which i think a good start) for both of us before pegi keje. Sampai office, take bread toast and a glass of warm water for breakfast.  Lunch je yg heavy sket... : )

Balik keje,  sampai rumah usually dah near Maghrib time, so terus solat Maghrib once dah masuk waktu.  Then take dinner, so far boleh tahan dengan crackers and yogurt only for dinner.  Pastu buat exercise ikut Denise Austin's training programs.  Just bought the DVD namely GET FIT FAST.  After that, baru mandi, Solat Isya'. Catch up some reading, then Zzzzzzz...

Suddenly semangat berkobar2 to live a well-balanced life.  Semuanya angkara cheongsam... At first it was all about how to wear cheongsam when you have double-story belly! And I have only 2 more weeks to go to lose some inches! 2 weeks? Is that possible? We'll see... DETERMINATION, Win or lose, full speed ahead!  Now I realise it's not only about cheongsam, but I also learn to appreciate the value of balanced lifestyle... My mission now is to live a healthy and happy life at the same time! So far, I feel good about the good change that I make! Hopefully it will stay for a longtime!

Muslimah Clown to be?

Tengok FB, kinda envy, ade yang went to waterfall, ade yang melancong ke Korea, ade yang pegi beach...  Me?  My long weekend banyak habis in bed.  Last Friday I went to Tawakal Hospital and was advised to rest in bed, that's why.  Nothing's serious though... Well I hope so... Hurm...  

Memang I don't know how to stay at home 24 hrs.  Somehow kena keluar jugak.  So my dearest sweetheart took me to shopping malls like Jusco, MidValley, and Pavilion. My office is organising a CNY Hi Tea.  So gatal tgn kiri agaknya, sempat pegi scouting dress and bought Cheongsam for the event... So excited... Gonna wear Cheongsam in stylecovered way... Huhuhu...   Dah try tadi, I so gonna look like a Muslimah clown... Tehehee... But I don't care, nak pakai jugak...  Anyway I see lotsa Chinese ladies wear Baju kurung nowadays, tak salah kalau Melayu berhijab pakai Cheongsam...  Janji sopan kaan... ;P. 

Cepatnya habis cuti... Walaupun I took leave last Friday, then came weekend, followed by 2-day CNY holiday, tiba2 dah nak kena balik kerja esok... Pastu dapat pulak long email and I've got a feeling there's a lot of things to be done at the office tomorrow... ~Sigh... It's new year OK, Nape lah rase berat sgt nk gi keje ni...  Sah2 lah baru lepas appraisal, patutnya lebih bersemangat dari biasa... 

I guess it's because I have set new priorities for 2012.  I want different things for this year.  Maybe not a career growth, not just yet... But untuk dekatkan diri pada Allah and be a better wife and daughter...  Insya-Allah...

An Introvert

@WardinaSafiyyah Wardina Safiyyah

"The less people know about you the better" says a friend. The mre u share, the mre faults ppl will find. True.

I found this tweet at Wardina's website.  It makes me wonder... Yeah it IS true indeed...

Honestly I feel a bit hurmm... scared... How do people interpret if I write this, do people start judging and stereotyping me if I write that... It's hard to just hentam kromo tulis tanpa berfikir dulu... My colleague sometimes complains why people always blogging nonsense stuff and there are always a lot of grammatical errors found in the blog.  (And I bet there are a lot of grammar errors in mine too)...  But... Why complain, if it bothers you so much, correct our English so we can learn, or else stop reading! Don't read! It's our way of sharing our thoughts and experience.  We are not the English Expert or Linguistics Specialist. So, salah ke if we like to write?

I'm sorry if my blog is nonsense or may be the grammatical errors in my blog make me look so dumb! On the second thought, do I have to feel guilty? Am I at fault? No I know I'm not... I don't write nonsense,  I just write the things I like or I want or who I am, and this is MY blog anyway... 

Being in the communication industry, makes me feel so little sometimes... It makes me becoming an introvert.  Although no one has criticized my blog (which I just open to the ones that I think won't be judgmental, thank you for that), still I'll have to be more careful of what I'm going to write... Well, it definitely doesn't  allow us to be completely ourselves...  I dunno...

Ariana Mikhail

taken from http://www.tv9.com.my

When I first watched the Promo last week, whoaaa... really couldn't wait to watch the 1st episode! The 1st episode of Ariana Mikhail  was aired yesterday.  And it was totally awesome!!! Ariana Mikhail is a new malay drama playing on TV9, stars Nora Danish and Hussein Ruffedge every Monday and Tuesday at 8.30pm. Owh bestnye Sein tu berlakon as someone who has a huge ego especially when he bumped into such a pretty and nice lady.  It's using the same classic Romantic Comedy formula : strangers meet each other, hate each other, then come to appreciate each other.

But the only thing that bugs me is when the heroine wears a wig, not only her, the mother too, seriously?!  Eiiissshhh but WHY? I don't get it when Malay Drama loves to make it look so fake when we want to see something that we feel could be real...

Tapi, this show is one of those yg I hardly  blinked cos I didn't wanna miss a thing. There I go again , OVER betul!

The hero's name is Mikhail while the heroine's name is Ariana... So that's how they got the title ~ "Ariana Mikhail".  Teringat zaman2 naive dulu, bila dah tersuka kat Mamat tu (cinta monyet ler tu), TER la, tak sengaja kot, mulalah nak sambung2 nama kan... Tapi bile kite sambung2 nama mamat  tu, kita tak ade lah bgtau dia, pastu dia pegi sambung2 nama dia dgn other gal... BOLEH ke? Owh masa tu,,, sedey kot.... Tapi ingat balik,,, hahahaha... kelakar!  Dah cinta sejati dgn si suami, takde la plak nak buat perangai sambung2 nama ni kan.... ; )

Both episodes were taken in the beautiful city of Paris. I so wanna go to Paris!!! Dalam hati meronta2 nak pegi Paris!!! Tapi pegi PARIT boleh la kan... PERLIS ke... :D

Violet Rindu...

Mlm yg sunyi ni, memang rase macam nak dengar sangat lagu ni. Walaupun before I ever heard this song, my colleague already told me she didn't get it why people like this song so much cos to her, it's too sad to be appreciated. Extremely sad until she could fall asleep listening to it.  But I like it especially times like this, especially this part...

"Malam kau bawalah rinduku
Untuk dirinya yang jauh dari ku
Agar dia tidak kesepian
Selalu rasa ada cinta agung"  :'(

My other half is at Penang right now for a chess tournament. He was appointed to be the team captain.  He hugged me tightly this morning and pesan macam2 before he left.  Funny how after almost 4 years together, saying goodbye even for a short while is still the hardest part.  Surprisingly, bergenang lagi airmata.  Now I miss him so much...  But I don't want to bug him cos I want him to have a good time and keep his focus on his passion, his goal to win the game.

Yeah, dia memang sangat passionate dgn chess, footy and futsal.  Tadi, my friend told me she feels that siape yg suka main chess ni like a total geek.  I purposely said, yeah he is probably geeky, but he takes good care of me.  Well years ago, a chef, an independent film director, an architect yang probably super cool pun hardly took care of my vulnerable heart... And I mean it...

Mana taknye, here are little2 things he has done his level best to make things easier for me when he's away for the weekend. 

• Put touch N go card in the second car for me to use.
• Put a new box of tissue in the car.  (takkan takut I nanges kot? hehee)
• Put a new freshener in the car.
• Washed and vacuum the car. 
• Isi fuel sampai penuh.
• Transfer my working shoes from our first car into the house. (he's taking the first car)

a new tissue box nicely placed on the dash board. :')

So sweet!  Tu la buat I sayang sangat kat dia... Semoga suamiku sentiasa berada di dalam lindunganNya... Ameen... 

Jack and Jill the Movie

 Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

I went to watch the latest Adam Sandler's movie, "Jack and Jill" yesterday.  In this movie, Jack is the cool brother who feels embarrassed to have a sweaty and ugly twin Sister, Jill.  He played for both roles.  But the movie was a bit dull and disgusting with lame and impolite jokes.  Yeah, I did laugh with the rest of the audience but that was that.  Nothing was great about it perhaps only 1 thing, Al-Pacino who is known of his usual serious work and performance dare to take up a comedy scene as a supporting actor (which wasn't even that funny).  There's a message about love, life, and family values at the end of it but it was not as good as 50 First Dates. In fact it was a bit insulting.  Rate: 2/10.

Scene that captured my attention only was when Jack picked Jill up at the airport and saw her with loads and loads of big bags and boxes.  Well reminds me of ME who does not know how to travel light all my life! Kalau boleh nak bawak satu bilik and the whole bathroom OK! : )  And I like the line from Jill:

"I'd rather have it and not need it,
than to need it and not have it..."

 Doinkk!!! So true!!!

How I kissed 2011 goodbye

Tak sangka... Dah betul2 matang ke ni? Yes, I guess I am.  Sebab bila my sweetheart requested to spend last weekend of 2011 at his hometown, Kelantan.  Erm-Hurm, which we will be spending new year's eve at Kampung.  Me, born and raised in the City of Kuala Lumpur, OK, may be born in PJ, Selangor but raised in KL.  Both also citiesla kaann... Aci tak? Me said yes and ikutkan aje tanpa merengek or merajuk dan sewaktu dengannya sbb x dpt tgk fireworks or x dpt pg midnite shopping.  Ha matang kan? Alhamdulillah.  Hubby nak bawak my mother-in-law to the hospital for her check-up.  

I didn't celebrate at all to close the curtain of 2011 cos I had a very bad flue on new year's eve . Telan pill polarax then tido.  TV pun x tgk.  Dulu busuk2 pn if xde plan, tengok la live concert and countdown on TV sambil tulis diary at home to recap and summarize kejadian2 sepanjang tahun.  Ala2 highlights of the year la kan...  Hahaha...  This time around memang classic la kan, duduk kampung, pakai kain batik sarung sambil kadang2 main games thru iPod, kadang2 ngaji Quran, (Syukur Alhamdulillah, semoga diberkati Allah).  Maklumlah xde internet access.  Highlights of the final week of 2011, shopping nighties kat Rantau Panjang, murah giler, RM15-20 je each, cuci kolam air and bathroom. Ok pe...

 Yg penting happy sgt bile tgk my dear sweetheart happy dpt layan bondanya yg tercinta.  Alhamdulillah.  I silently prayed that hopefully I will become a better wife and have a better life with him, my heart and my soul.  Insya-Allah.  Rupenye dia lah my knight in shining armour.  Touching ni... :')
