Agricultural is Business?

I was surprised when my friend tendered his resignation notice to concentrate on a business. People may think he made a very crazy decision for quitting his secure job during this economical meltdown moment.

He told me that he wants to do agricultural business and i started talking about my husband's project. So yesterday this guy and another friend who was supposed to do genba at Rawang Service, visited my husband. To have a chit-chat, agricultural site-seeing, exchange information and maybe someday, If Allah permits to develop a joined agricutural project. It was funny when my husband told me about how they can 'clique', shared their dreams, future, ups and downs and even plan to set up a future company together.

Well, I thought it is a very good idea. But as of now, my husband will continue with his current project and let our (now it's ours, not mine ) friend to set his and they'll see how.

To date, his project is doing well, where phase 1 was already completed and next is for phase 2. I really hope he will success and if he does, i will probably leaving the company to join him because I believe, Pertanian itu adalah perniagaan.

Puteri Gunung Ledang, A World Class Theater.

"..setapak melangkah, dua langkah ingatan kanda pada dinda..."

Datuk Laksamana

"..adinda bersumpah, jika kekanda tidak kembali, adinda akan menyusul kekanda, berinjak pada bumi yang sama, bernafas pada udara yang sama.."

Gusti Puteri

"..layar berbelok belok, sauh dibongkar ditempat tenang, yang pergi hati tak elok, yang tinggal hati tak senang.."

Datuk Laksamana

It was my first time to be in Istana Budaya, hence the first time for me to watch a theater. All I can say is; i will definitely come again.



Yanty and I left to the show at 6.30 pm. Too early eh? so, while waiting for her, harus lah being vain sekejap mengambil photo sendiri..

Cubaan mengambil photo sendiri kerana mr husband sibuk mententeramkan Sarah. Oh, that silk Tie Rack sangat lah susah nak pakai. Terpaksa guna lilin. Hancuss tudung ku..

Backdrop PGL The Musical. Bukti kedatangan ku.

Nah tambah lagi bukti, Takpe, walaupun background hanya keratan akhbar. Janji posing yo!

Amir and his wife, me and yanty. I can't see the bow lah mister.

Us yang tetap ceria walaupun dapat seat di level 3 saje..

At the end of the show, we waited for the lead cast for their last appearance.

Embok and Raja Ahmad yang dah mengantuk.

Cik Mat Poi yang sempoi yo! and The cool Sultan..

The irreplacable Tiara.

The gagah Stephen Rahman. But to me, he is not that handsome. He is just 'biasa'..


I really love watching this theater, it is superb! Perfecto! I wish i could watch it again in a future.

Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical

Weeeeeee............................... ;D

I am gonna watch this PGL theater with my friends tomorrow.

Thanks to mr husband for giving me permission and taking care of Sarah tomorrow night.

luckily that i am having a period, so don't need to rush for the Maghrib prayer.

Of My 10 Months Old Sarah.

OMG! OMG! my baby (lagi ke?) is already 10 months old. Soon, she'll become 1 years old. Cepatnye masa berlalu. I can't believe that she's growing fast. Ok, now she is 10 months, next she'll gonna be 1o years old, and then 20 and next thing i'll know i already in London, together with papa visiting my Sarah during her summer break..ahahahahha..

My baby has turn into a picky eater. I don't know why because she doesn't consume solid food as much as when she was 7 months. Kalau dulu boleh habis satu mangkuk, but now separuh pun susah. But it's okay, momma will never give up in experimenting on foods ok. If you have any good tips or useful website to encounter my problem, do let me know.

As of 9 months ++ she weighs 8.3 kg only. Thanks to husband for bringing Sarah to the clinic ALONE for her check ups. He has done it for 3 times and the nurses and the people at the clinic used to feel akward, seeing him with the diaper bag and everything. Thanks again hubs, you are a superdad!

Other than that, Sarah has become more hyper now. I find it harder to dress her after taking bath. Sibuk dia nak ke sana- ke sini without her poposh on. Last time bole lah nak distract her attention by using her comb or her toys. Now, sori lah beb.. Kena bersilat lah juga saya. Her widom tooth pun malu-malu nak keluar. I am actually worry especially when people keep asking. I know, biak pi lantak lah kan.. every child is unique so comparing each one of them is not ok. But being a momma kan..So i googled and found this;

When does a baby grow teeth?

Just as your baby begins to sleep for longer and show signs of calming down, teeth start appearing. For all the benefits of evolution, the emergence of first teeth is still painful and inefficient ? bewildering your child and aggravating you.
The first tooth, normally a lower incisor, tends to appear at around six months. Don't worry if it doesn't, all babies have their own timetable. The second follows hard on to form a side-by-side pair. Next come the upper incisors, and then the ones surrounding them. As a rough guide, a new tooth appears every month so normally children have a full set by the time they are three years old.
An average baby will have six teeth by his or her first birthday but it?s normal to have more or none at all. The rate of teeth eruption is not connected to how well he is being fed or nurtured - it's entirely dependent on genetic circumstances. If you and your partner developed teeth late, then your baby will too.

Ok. Lega sikit. Orang tua-tua kata, kalau baby cepat tumbuh gigi, he will takes time to walk or talk and if he walk first, then it is vice versa. I know, the old sayings do not really make sense kan? but it is no harm pun if we accepting it rather than to make fun of it because it is what our mothers, grandmothers or the great-great grandmothers told us for decades, So, to make fun of it is sama lah with we make fun of our roots.. (ok, i am not being emo here..)

So, here it is. my 10 months old Sarah. She's getting hyper, cuter and prettier everyday.. and i love her very-very much.

Psstss..Look at her sleeping pose. I think she is copying Elmo's

A Letter to My Personal Wellness Coach.

Dear Mr. Personal Wellness Coach,

I wanna thank you for your patient by having me as one of your customer. You must be felt really devastated every week, carrying the heavy bag for the consultation but only to find out later, not much difference and even slight increase of my weight than previous week. But it's okay right..?? You'll get to do extra exercise. It's good for your health and body too.

I believe your formula is really works IF i am really discipline. For example, i have been really discipline during the first week and I lost 2 kg. But coming to the second week, i've started to cheat. It is hard for me to resist good foods especially during the holiday. Hence, my weight has been fluctuating since week 1 until week 3. But anyway, i still lost 2 kg in 3 weeks despite of the amount of food that i've taken.

You know coach, i have been spending more time with my skinny, READ: SKINNY sister lately. She's getting married soon and she need me to accompany her to do her shopping and all. It was very tiring and we ended up eating more food.

Look at her arm and fingers. So slim eyh??

She made me eat this cheesy-weesy meatballs and I know how much fat contain in it.

Eh coach, You tak rasa teruja ke tengok the melting cheese? I teruja ok.

Lagi-lagi cheese..

Once a cheater, it will lead to another cheating.. Last thursday, I cheat again. My husband is craving for KFC and he'll end up buying the 5 pc chicken, a fries, but i konon-konon opt for a lil' healthier option, the toased twister.

Ini dia ayam menjilat jari.

So-called healthy option

I totally could not resist cheesy food. Yummeh!

And then kan coach, last Saturday my husband bought me a buffet dinner at a steamboat and barbeque spot near our place. It has been more than a year we didn't eat there. The last time was during my 25th birthday and i was 4 months pregnant at that time. I ate a lot i tell you now. I mean REALLY A LOT. There is no pictures snapped because we were so excited. The food was really nice. They have improved a lot especially on the buffet selection. Later that night, on the way back to home my husband bought me an ice-cream. A complete dinner kan coach? dengan desert sekali..

Yesterday morning, i woke up a bit late and suddenly craving to have a sweet breakfast. I don't want the usual sweat meats. I want something else like a waffle or a pancake. Aha! I know.. the McD hotcakes. Since husband could not accompany me because he has to 'rewang', i immediately called my skinny sister to drive me there. As obedient as a puppy, she brought me and we had the hot cakes and coffee.

My sinful brekkie.. Hot cakes with ice cream, syrup and butter.

Sarah and her skinny aunty.

My totally bare-faced. No make up at all, so plis excuse the dark circle ok

A happy mama and her daughter.

I am sorry coach, i totally forgot to discipline myself. You might want to bang your head for repeating the same advice. EAT LESS FAT, OIL, DRINK LOTSA PLAIN WATER and EXERCISE. I just could not affort to be as discipline as when i was in uni. You percaya tak, yang I dulu sangat disipline kalau tengah berdiet? Tak percaya you can ask my friend leen and shila.

Oklah, i'll try my very best to follow your recommendation in this week. But no promises tau. Btw coach, don't worry if i am one of your fail living example because if other people ask, i'll say It's me yang bersalah. So no worries okay.

Till my next consultation time. See you!

Thank You Ibu Alia

Remember the contest organized by Ibu Alia? Well, i won the 2nd prize. Thanks so much dear for choosing me..

And I never thought i would receive the prize at this moment since she's busy with her family matters and i am okay with it. but boy, i was so wrong. As i opened the door when i reached home, I saw this;

The awaited parcel. ;P

Ini isinya; The laptop bag

Testing..testing..

Thanks so much Zu.. I really like it.

I Know I Shouldn't Do This But..

It was so tempting..

(Un)Professional Photographer.

Kita ni biasa kan, pantang ada chance mesti nak amik gambar yang tersayang. Macam saya, mestilah nak ambik gambar Sarah. Tapi biasa lah, macam orang lain juga, tak semua gambar yang kita ambil tu menjadi atau yang tersayang kita tu nampak comel mengikut spesifikasi kita kan? Dan selalunya, kita mesti nak display hanya yang tercantik sahaja. Ikut spesifikasi kita sendiri. Semestinya be it utk blog, friendster atau laman mencari jodoh mungkin, mesti kita letak gambar yang tercantik, terkurus, paling bergaya, terputih, terseksi (mungkin). Deyy.. mana ada orang nak display gambar terburuk, tergemuk atau tergelap. Termasuklah saya sendiri.

Tapi kali ini tidak. Hanya untuk kali ini sahaja. Saya nak display gambar 'terburuk' Sarah. Boleh lah dikatakan entry mengenakan anak sendiri. Bukan apa, supaya bila Sarah besar, dia taklah perasan dia ni comel sangat. Ataupun, mama tak payah susah payah nak tunjuk funny pictures Sarah kepada her future husband yang mana menyebabkan Sarah akan marah mama nanti. Jadi konon2, si dia terlihat sendiri and can make a joke out of it. Tee hee..

Jadi mempersembahkan... 10 ugly (but cute) photo of my daughter.

5) Anak sepupu laki mak tiri Daisy Duck.

6) Stim woo..Papa korek telinga kita..

7) Sedap woo.. mata elmo masak kari..

10) Ini ikut perangai sape ni?

Jangan marah Sarah. Syurga itu di telapak kaki mama.. ;D

No Shopping Please!

I'm helping my sister to do her shopping tomorrow. She is getting maried this May and being a financial advisor cum experienced pre-wed, i am the best person to advise accompany her.

So little time we have but yet so much things to do. I'm sure she must be worried of this just like me before.

I'll be sending Sarah to her babysitter so that we can run here and there to make a quick and easy shopping. I am excited since i have not step in a shopping mall for more than a month.

I'm just hoping that I could avoid shopping for myself. But if I really have to buy, I would love to buy another pair of comfy wedges. Seems like it has been planned aight? Ayayayaya~~

Happy Hipposuction.

I am happy because i am shrinking. The thing is really works..

Even though i only lost 2 kg, but I feel measure a few inches lost. WooHooo...

Those pants which i bought after confinement period sangat longgar.

And the best part is to get compliment from people who have not seen me for quite some time.

But, if you are reading this and you'd see me everyday but couldn't find any difference, just shut up. hahaha.

So it works.. and i'm happy.

One Day Without You..

I have no streamyx connection yesterday after a few telephone line dropped due to the heavy rain on Monday. However it is okay now and thanks to the superb TM technical service. Super-laju except for their installation service. It took nearly two months for them to install a telephone line at my house. Padahal tiang tepon dah lama tercanak ni haa.. Seriously, TM you should work on it. It's a NO-NO for CSI.

I thought it was gonna be so boring without the internet but boy, i was wrong! Usually I will put my daughter to sleep while hubs will be busy either making his own dinner or watch tv. Now that i don't do dinner so thanks to him for being very supportive and make his own. Just a simple meal like sandwich or maggi goreng. Then, i will ask permission from him to surf the internet. Seriously, i asked for his permission because i don't want him to feel neglected.

So yesterday, we ended up watched this movie "One Fine Day" at tv2. Lama gile okay since tak tengok tv2. I think i've missed many good tv shows lately. Now that i am blogging while he was asleep at the couch. Shall wake him up now to watch his fav Mertua VS Menantu. The title speaks! hahaha.

Btw, i shall say congratulation to my N3C friend Fais who just got his first child yesterday. Both wife and baby are doing good. Be a good daddy ya.
