salam maal hijrah & happy new year

life is unpredictable - that's how i see it. we never know what to expect in life ahead us. when the moments come, we accept it despite bitter or sweet. whether we want to treasure those moments or just leave it behind it's up to how we take/carry it in our lives.

2008 has been an emotional year in part of my life. i've faced much predicament, that i couldnt weep anymore. of course, i do not share it here. happy moments with my family is what i treasure. my principle is simple. people can say whatever they want to say. the truth is not with them. whatever happen in my life, i take it positively. it is part of journey in life and i take it as a lesson. may Allah forgive me, my family and them.

happy 2009 everyone!!!

may the new year brings good health, love and happiness...

have a wonderful and bright new year ahead...

swimming...

next day, we went for swimming at KRTU with shadiah and her family.

of course the mums tak swim. duduk bawah pondok, makan and story mory...

p/s: takde benda nak story. in the mood of holiday...

picnic & karaoke

last sunday, my FIL nak mandi laut pulak so we drove to port dickson for a day trip. our picnic area was the blue lagoon (tanjung biru). ramai tul orang... dah tu, all the time kat PD tu, satu gambar pun tak snap.. boleh??!!! anw, nice weather, hot but veryyyy windy. siapa yg ringan sure boleh terbang. even my hair mcm kena blow - nice..

prior to our PD trip, we have planned with shadiah for karaoke session at 9pm that night. we reached home at 8.30pm from PD, had a really quick shower and dinner. within 1 hour, we arrived armada hotel in pj and sang our lungs out till 1am. the room we booked were spacious for 8 of us, at a rate of RM100 per room, excluded the drinks and food. not bad eh...

ok tu jer. next.....

jalan-jalan & massage...

initially we wanted to visit melaka but most hotels there were fully booked. then we thought why not visit jb but canceled due to my over expense. due to that, we end up went places in klang valley je coz i bought new sofa. plus the kids' school items lagi, books etc.. and new ps2 for the kids la...

so after the 2 birthdays, we went to pavilion kl. it was my 1st there and loving it already. we were there from 6pm (i think..) till kedai tutup! kesian my kids exhausted turun naik turun naik escalator...

next day, we went to nilai 3, bought 2 carpets and 3 sets of curtains. most of the items are cheap at bargain prices. we spent almost half day there. tu pun tak cover semua tempat. we were all exhausted but happy.

on saturday, shadiah and i pampered ourselves at khareyana spa in pj, for a 90 minutes aromatherapy massage. we get to choose our own oil scent. sha chose the green tea essence while mine was cellulite oil - a lemon essence - very calming aroma.

the sitting/waiting area of khareyana spa...

before we left, we were served with their special ginger drinks at their jamu bar.

here we are after the massage - feeling fresh and rejuvenated... best!!

the 2 birthdays...

what a nice long holidays and i'm so happy i get to spend with my family. yes... dear hubby pun cuti. best!!

on xmas day, we went to shadiah's place for 2 birthday celebrations... the ben 10 & the princess.

the handsome ben-10, iman turned 5. dah besar dah anak u elly...

sha's 1st princess, nana. next year UPSR...

sha's 2nd princess, min. she piano to birthday melodies.

yg ni pulak tengah tunggu nak makan kek...

skating on ice...

right after the makeup session, i went skating with my kids, together with my good friend, sha and her pretty daughters at sunway pyramid.

tak sanggup nak stable kan diri. lenguh la..

the skater boys... (tapi asyik jatuh je..)

the 3 angels...

the kids in action.

i dont how many times adam and adli fell on the ice but their pants were all lencun. sha and i went for few rounds. tu pun siap pegang tangan takut jatuh k. kang dah jatuh, tak leh nak bangun camne?! i tell you, bukan senang nak stable dan skate kan diri ni, lenguh kaki we all. oh yes... ada embarrassing moment ye. i thought after skating for few rounds, i was capable to skate on my own. tak jugak. sekali i jatuh daa... ceh!! nasib baik basah sebelah je. ingat senang ke nak diri atas kasut tajam ni... u all cuba try test...

oh.. there were few performances by the pro skaters but....

this one is my favourite bcoz it has my favourite songs from the disney fairytale enchanted movie - 'that's how you know'.. layan..

stila cosmetics workshop...

i am so not a fashionista but... i was one of the lucky fashionistas (well, that's what they called those who get this invitation ya..) to receive an exclusive invitation to stila cosmetics workshop @ W3, subang parade last saturday. it started around 1030am till 1pm. we were guided with very interesting step-by-step makeup tips by stila beautician. after showing us the techniques on how to be beautiful in just 20 mins, we get a chance to beautify ourselves with stila make up products.

here is where i sat with all the stila goodies to try on, of course with a guide from one of the beautician, fahmi - based at stila counter Parkson, KL Pavilion. as for the door gift, we get a complimentary makeover voucher with stila makeup artist and little.black.book voucher - yang pink tu...

it was my 1st time using stila product and i find it easy to apply. what i like most is stila eye colour - a magical 3-in-1 pen which includes eye pencil, eye shadow and smudging tool. there's also multi-tasking colour, which can be applied on cheek and lip. very cost effective, aint it?!!

at the end of the workshop, refreshments were served. i bought stila voucher worth of RM120 - fully redeemable at my next pit stop at their counter and on top of that, i get free stila liquid lip polish. best kan... i had fun...

hamster new ride...

rhino, the hamster that runs around in a plastic ball really catch our eyes when we saw it in BOLT. it definitely reminds us our rico.

and dear hubby get so excited, he bought one for rico. here's rico in his new ride, went all over the house...

tertonggeng2 rico kat dalam ball tu...

dedicated employee...

i got up in the morning and got ready for work. that morning also i sent my PIL to UH for their monthly check-up. nice weather but rather odd seeing less cars on the road. traffic at federal highway towards pj was smooth. when i reached UH, the entrance was congested so they asked me to drop them near the small gate at the bus stop. after making U turn, i drove straight to my office. as i was turning to the office, the area seems very quiet, shops all closed. pelik.. kenapa kedai sume tutup nih?

i parked at my usual parking lot and dialled a number...
me: hi reen... busy? you kat office ke?
reen: kat office? hari ni Selangor public holiday la..
me: ye ke? cuti apa ek?
reen: Sultan Selangor's birthday..
me: really!!! i tak tau pun. ni i dah sampai my office. patut la senyap sunyi je area my office nih..
reen: lol... u nikan very dedicated employee la... tapi tak kena time gitu. org cuti, you keje..
me: tu la.. ni la kesnye bila tak tengok kalendar kan..bazir je i bangun pepagi nih..

yesterday was a public holiday in Selangor but being me, i went to work duh!!. sungguh tak peka okay. i went into the office, packed my laptop and went home. first thing i'm going to do when i get the 2009 calendar is to jot down all public/states holidays on it. i'm not going to miss any holidays no more.. :D

bleeding...

on the morning of last thursday, we took the kids to clinic to remove the clamp . eventhough the clamp was removed but the tube was still attached. the doctor said it will fall off within 2 - 3 days but knowing the kids, it fell off the same day. so i thought everything seems to be fine. but the next day, half hour after i reached my office, adam called saying adli was bleeding. i was panic. called dear hubby, who then called his brother and adli was rushed to the clinic where he was circumcised. according to the doctor, small part of the skin got torn, most probably due to stiffness. we were also told that bleeding can cause one to blackout. alhamdulillah my BIL was around to assist us.

orang tua kata nyawa lelaki kat situ.. so kena la jaga baik2 ye. (i baru tau...)

circumcision...

alhamdulillah... adam and adli circumcision went well last friday @ 12 noon at Klinik Permata. it was done through smartklamp, which took about 20 mins on each of them. dear hubby was with them throughout the procedure as i dare not watching it. tak sangguppp!!!

adam went in 1st while adli sat with me. behind the wall, i could hear adam's little groaning voice at the time when the doctor was anaesthetised the part. suddenly adli said.. mama jom duduk kat sana. adli tak nak dengar la.. jom! mama pun tak nak.. at the time adli was in the room, i hear very little of his voice. later when he came out, the doctor said adli was a little relaxed than adam.

we had 'doa selamat' at my SIL's place, then went home later that night. we took turn looking after them so dear hubby taught me how to clean the 'area' while he's at work. nak tak nak.. kena la jugak buat kannn...

1st day...

few hours later...

2nd day, muka boring...

3rd day went shopping...

what's good about smartklamp is that one can do their usual activities right after but i advise them to rest till they are ready to get up and run... so by the 3rd day, they told me they're ready to wear pants. ok!! let's go to the curve..

this coming thursday, they'll be meeting the doctor again to remove the klamp. hopeful all goes well..

the day we went cycling...

at taman pertanian bukit cahaya seri alam @ bukit cherakah in shah alam. the last time i went there was during my school days - that's many years ago..

since the place is large in area, we skip not few but most of the routes. penat la coz byk bukit. tak larat nak cycle ok.

adam just learning to cycle, so he dare not cycle down the hills. i accompanied him sorong bicycle turun bukit.

the only place we took pics.


oh deer!!!

the rehab... chic + rabbit

parrot cakap jepun.. tak paham langsung..

cute guinea pig nih..

kuda ku lari....

the rest of the places, we just cycled up and down the hills so no pics. the kids had fun and enjoyed, the parent exhausted but happy!!!

lepas ni the boys 'masuk jawi'. bila tu??? tungguuu...

TARA season 3

the boys team from hong kong won the race!!! (they're not singaporean ye. i silap tulis singaporean team lak in my 'finale' post tu. thank you sis shopaholic mama yg correct kan for me).

ok la... congrats man!!

although ida & tania didnt win but it was amazing to see their effort in completing the tasks and they really had fun traveling from one continent to another. congrats for being the top 3.
