An Outdated Post

Ini cerita lama sebenarnya. I have been meaning to write about this tapi terlupa. Kemudian terjumpa gambar dan terus terasa mesti blog juga pasal ni sebab it was a fun evening out with friends.



Bila dapat email pasal musical ni I thought I must go watch it. Hubs couldnt believe I was going to Istana Budaya for a musical. Sampai sudah dia tak ingat I was going. His and Iman's conversation went like this on that particular evening : Iman said, kan mama kata pergi tengok musical. Muzikal apa? Muzikal pasal TM. Muzikal apa? Pasal TM. Him : oh, ok (like kalau pasal TM ok lah walaupun masih confuse termasuk dengan unsur tak percaya that I am going to a musical kut. haha)

Mungkin dia terlupa we went to see PGL many years ago.

Anyway. Memang seronok musical ni. Taklah perfect but still boleh tabik la.

Not that I like our CHCO so much; but this is the only gambar yang turned out cantik. A pro photographer I am not.

Saya balik sambil berfikir nak potong rambut macam Mel, the star (!) And how juvenile is that anyway?

We should do this again.

Life Goes On

Hello darlings.

It has been a while. Sejak2 panic cerita pasal apa pun  belum siap untuk wedding, terus busy semacam buat preparation. Tak abis2 pergi ke kedai riben!

Nevertheless the other day we took time away to send Efan balik ke kolej. Dia dah pindah kolej ke Raub this semester. Alhamdulillah lebih cantik. No more bunk beds. New facilities.

Saya selalu pesan, belajar elok2. Boleh express buat degree dan balik ke KL. Alhamdulillah he was on Dean's List last semester. Last sem sengaja saya kata, ada apa di Jengka kalau dibanding di Melawati. haha. Tapi saya agak memang lain Jengka dan Raub. Jengka nampak macam memang a university town; catering to the residents of the uni. Macam tak berapa ada local life di situ if not for the uni. Kata hubs, harap stadium je gah. Raub on the other hand is a proper township.

Nevertheless. We have never been to Raub. Ever. Jam pulak. Mungkin terlalu ramai mak bapak hantar anak2 last weekend.

It was late so we didnt have time to explore. Namun Raub nampak interesting. Masih ramai anak Melayu buat construction di jalan. Tiada Indon di gerai. Dan tak ada Bangla cuci lantai di dewan makan.

Terlalu bayak dusun2 especially durian. Sepanjang jalan in fact. Dan dusun pun di jaga sangat rapi. Rumput cantik macam di lawn menara!

One thing that stood out in Raub is the gerai nangka sepanjang jalan. Kata nya buah nangka madu dari Lanchang.

Sebab jalan ikut Bentong jam, waze detoured us via Mempaga. Jalan kampung yang agak jauh tapi peaceful. Musim durian di Raub mesti best.

And I have been reading somewhat.

Maka Maha Tinggilah Allah, yang Menguasai seluruh alam, lagi Yang Benar (pada segala-galanya). Dan janganlah engkau (wahai Muhammad) tergesa-gesa membaca Al-Quran sebelum selesai dibacakan oleh Jibril kepadamu, dan berdoalah dengan berkata: "Wahai Tuhanku, tambahilah ilmuku".

(Surah Taha 20:114)


Have a blessed week ahead. Semoga dipermudahkan Allah segala urusan.

ps - Bila di Pahang, teringat arwah Jamal yang berasal dari Temerloh (kalau saya tak silap). Semoga Allah ampunkan arwah dan merahmatinya InsyaaAllah. Life is indeed short.

A Wedding!

We are having a wedding again soon.

Bila ingat wedding, kecut perut dibuatnya sebab banyak benda yang belum siap (sebenarnya tiada apa yang dah siap! hahah). I have only googled some hantaran pictures.

Impian kali ini hanyalah satu majlis yang simple. A very small celebration. Tetapi tertanya2 pulak, tercapai kah impian ini? Family je pun dah beratus orang!

Sekali ni saya agak tiada bunga pahar @ bunga telur di pelamin. Rumit! Tiada kecoh serabut-serabai rumah - buat di dewan. Lebih mudah. Mungkin. InsyaaAllah dipermudahkan Allah.

Let me share some lovely stuff I found and liking a lot:

Sangat minat dengan tiffany green at this moment.

 What a sweet cake!

Dan sangat2 teringin hantaran fresh flowers. I am still deliberating on this.

Dan those pictures yang gave me some second thoughts:

Stripes for hantaran. Hmm.

Dan yang di bawah. Haha seriously?

 Ini tahun berapa punya hantaran nih!

And this made me laugh so loud.

There is something so seriously wrong here if you ask me!

So wish me luck. I have lots to do. Starting immediately!

(ps, yes I noticed too many ! in this post too. Mungkin due to the sense of urgency of the matter! haha)

Feel Like A Girl Again (Or Not. You Were Never That Girl)

Kata Di, buku ni untuk relieve stress. I said oh ye ke? I bought it because I can make a claim for my taxes.. Haha penipu besar! I bought it in fact because the gambar are so cantik.

Dan terfikir saya pun dah bertahun tak mewarna. I dont think I ever did any coloring when I was small. First maybe because there were no such thing as a coloring book then. Second mungkin saya budak kampung; tak ter-expose kepada such books. Ketiga mungkin we could never afford such luxury.

Dan saya agak mungkin sebab ketiga. Sebab saya ingat saya pernah menangis tak mahu ke sekolah kerana tiada buku teks dan cikgu akan denda saya berdiri di luar kelas jika saya tidak membawa duit untuk beli buku saya that day. Ingat pun rasa nak menangis lagi.

Anyway.. Those were the days.

Mungkin saya mewarna semasa anak2 masih kecil. Share dengan anak2. Quality time now gone by..

There are two such books like this by the same author. The other is called Secret Garden. Saya flipped the pages and the Enchanted Forest looked more interesting.

I concur it MIGHT have some positive impact. I was singing on my way in to the office the other day! (unbelievable)

Tapi semalam I got a crick in the neck sebab mungkin mewarna terlalu lama. Or maybe it was the photobooks that gave me that.

You should try. It might work for you. Namun. Saya agak semuanya mesti dibuat dengan berpada2. I thought I could spend the time for more productive things. Maybe.
