Que Sera, Sera

House is one of my favorite television series. Whenever House is aired, Ammar would say, “citer mama dah start” and I would sit in front of the tv, Alya will be laying on my lap and Ammar by my side; asking a lot of questions. Sometimes, if we watch the re-run, Ayah would lay on the couch as well. However, I’d to skip most of the episodes. Reason: I give way to my mom to watch the Malay series (and I would be playing with my kids or at the computer with them) and during the re-run, we’re out somewhere; eating or window-shopping.

So, my husband bought me the DVDs (season1 and 2) and he still owed me season 3. Ammar will always give in whenever I wanna watch House despite of what he is watching that time.
These conversations are common whenever we watched House.

Ammar: Mama nak Ammar jadi Dr. House?
Alya: Adik nak jadi Ha-uf (as in House)
Ammar: Umaira.. Umaira.. Uamaira nak jadi apa bila besar nanti?
Alya: Ha-uf (as in House)
Mama: House kerja macam mana?

Alya: Cucuk.. cucuk badan (with the cheeky action)

Mama and Ammar giggles
Ammar: Sapa nama doctor nih? (pointing to Chase’s picture)
Mama: Dr. Chase
Ammar: Dr. Chase ni pandai jugak kan? Tapi, dia bukan boss macam Dr. House kan?
Ammar: Ammar nak jadi Dr. Chase- lah (biasalah Chase lagi handsome dari House).
Ammar: Kenapa Dr. House tuh boss? Sebab dia dah besar ker?
Mama: A-a Dr. House dah tua. Dah lama kerja.
Ammar: Ayah boss ker mama? Ayah kan dah besar.
Ammar: Lagi sorang nih? (Pointing to Wilson’s picture)
Mama: Dr. Wilson the oncologist. Dr. Wilson pun pandai. Semua doctor pandai.
Ammar: Ashraff jadi Dr. Wilson
Alya: Adik ha-uf

Mama and Ammar giggles

Almost everybody wants to be a doctor when grows up. I still remember during my early years in Primary School. The class teacher would ask for 3 ambitions. Doctor will definitely be my 1st choice followed by teacher and policeman or fireman (commonly recognized profession). When I grew- up a little bit (may be in standard 3 or 4); I read Enid Blyton’s : Famous Five and Secret Seven. During that time, I picked detective and still followed by doctor. I think I would like to be a doctor until I was in form 4 where I realized I didn’t like to read that much. I enjoyed physics class more than biology class. I enjoyed doing experiment on kaleidoscope, telescope or motors more than on habitat, ecosystem or re-production.

After my SPM, I choose to further study in Electrical/ Electronics engineering instead of Medicine. During the 2nd semester in my Junior year, I realized that I should opt for Mechanical Engineering instead of EE. But then, it was too late to turn back.

I graduated during the recession period. So, I just grab whatever job offered that came first. It was from a computer manufacturing company. Actually, I was hopping for a job with a semi-conductor company, but the offer came two weeks after I accepted the 1st offer. Again, I never like computer and I had almost 0% knowledge on computer at that time (be it hardware or software). I’m quite proficient now (hahaha) and I’m happy with my life.

I still remember “Que Sera, Sera” song, taught by my standard 3 music teacher.

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, SeraWhat will be, will be

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be

Lives in a Project

When I first started to blog, I thought I’m going to update mainly on the progress of my house renovation. Unfortunately, until today I didn’t have a single post about my house.

Since we moved to our own house, we’re like living in a project. We have kitchen project, garden project, family area project and etc. My husband is a handyman. He likes DIY very much and IKEA is our favorite outlet :-).

Last Saturday, we went to Ikea again. This time, we planned to add an Island cabinet to fit our microwave and oven and some drawers for me to put the can food. Our first design cost us more than 2k (btw, we have a ciput budget for this) . So, we changed the design but it is still expensive. After reassess a few things like buying a few more things for other projects, we decided to design the cabinet as simple as possible and as cheap as possible. I need to reserve my can food drawers craving for later. I’m okay with the final design but unfortunately Ikea oversold some of the things we need.

However, It still turns out to be great. We will need to buy high chairs or bar stools to make full use of the counter top.

My Love.. My Life.. My Debab!!

My debab is not even two yet but she is so talkative..
These are some of her cute-ness and favorite words:

Cecebob cecepant” as in SpongeBob SquarePants - Ammar likes to watch this cartoon and whenever she saw it, she will keep repeating cecebob cecepant. We start to realize this a few weeks ago.

Soyeee.. soyeee… as in sorry.. sorry.. –whenever she hit people and the people say “adoiiii!” or pretend crying. Last week, we realize she add a few more words.. “soyee.. soyeee.. adik nta a-afff” as in “sorry.. sorry.. adik minta maaf”.

Btw, she addressed herself as adik and her adik as Ashaff or baby. Whenever people asked her about her adik, she will reply “ni” (pointing to herself).

We (me and my husband) like to hug her (who wouldn’t if the girl is so chubby). She will laugh at first and add “adik nat nih” as in “adik penat nih”. Kecik kecik dah penat. Tu lah debab sangat.

At first, she said “nak naik” no matter whether she wanna go up or wanna get down. We taught her “nak turun” if you wanna go down. Then, she used, “nak tuyun” for both; goes up and down. Recently, I think, she knew the difference already. She managed to say; “jom mama, jom naik” or “tunggu aaa mama, adik nak tuyun”

When she’s thirsty, she will ask for “ ayaq silap”(sirap) or “teh o-o” but we never give her teh “o”. (Ayah did the damage). When she’s hungry she will ask for milk.

She’s controlling everybody esp her elder brother; Ammar. She will run to get Ammar’s bottle when Ammar wanna drink milk and put it in the sink when Ammar finished drinking. She will get the slippers or sandals for Ammar when we wanna go out. She will wake Ammar up if Ammar were sleeping and we wanna go somewhere and she will say “Ammar nak pi jalan jalan”.

Whenever I drop my phone, she always offer to help; “adik ambik.. adik ambik”. I’m deeply touched every time she crawled under the bed or under the car to get it for me.

Whenever, I asked Ammar to do something but Ammar didn’t hear me because his eyes and attention were at the tv although he turned his face towards me, she will always gets up and get it done.

She will run towards the grill every time I come back from work – never fail. She will jump, jump and jump and will open my car’s door. Usually, I’ll take her for a ride to show my appreciation.

If I heard “dak.. dak.. dak.. " “ya zal ja la li wal ikram” (her version of saying it), I have to stop whatever I’m doing and attend my little boy. If not, she will continue to comfort her little brother. She will climb up the cot and pat his brother’s chest.

Recently, she tries to take my place. She will pull up her blouse and try to nurse his little brother.

I hope, I’m able to divide my attention equally to all my children. IsyaAllah.
Okaylah… Selamat berkasih sayang to everybody.

Abang ker?

Everybody keep saying Ashraff is exactly like Ammar. Well.. I'm uploading these pictures for reference. I knew that I'll upload tons of Ashraff's pictures later. So, we could compare.

Pengacau :-)

Kak Alya's life is not complete if Ashraff didn't cry.
Btw, Ammar is complaining his picture was not been uploaded for so long. Since everybody was saying Ashraff is exactly like Ammar, I'm compiling Ammar's pictures when he's still a baby. I'm uploading them to slide.com (so, I just upload what I have in my Notebook). We could compare them in a while.

Hello World!!!

Well.. This explains why I didn’t update my blog for so long… Tired and busy!! Let me start over...

My 3rd birth experience: Like before, I still had a wonderful birth experience. My labor was induced a week earlier (from the expected due date) and 2 days before my husband left for offshore work (this is the main reason why I need to be induced).
After getting ready on the 11th morning, I kissed both of my kids and my mom and went in the car calmly. Ammar cried; he wanted to follow us to the hospital but my husband didn’t allow him.
We arrived at the hospital at about 12noon and the midwife inserted the 1st pill at about 2pm. No pain, may be mild contraction on the 1st pill. The second pill was inserted at about 8pm. I still didn’t have any pain although the midwife informed me that I already have contractions. I told her when I delivered my 2nd baby, I didn’t feel the pain until it was 8cm dilated. At 11pm, she attached the CTG machine to monitor my contraction. She informed me that my contraction was regular and I was about 4cm dilated. I called home to check on my children again. My mom was reading the Qur’an and my kids were sleeping. My mom told me Ammar cried and keep on praying so that I wasn’t in pain. I'm touched and I could feel my tears; felt appreciated. He is so thoughtful and concerned.
At twelve, I’ve started to feel the pain. As my pain getting worse and regular, I asked the midwife to check on my dilation. Since my gynae had told them my last (2nd ) labor was fast, she decided to bring me to the labor room. When I stood up, my water broke. I woke my husband and ask him to inform the midwife immediately (she went to take the wheel chair). They rushed me to the labor room and called the doctor. The midwife didn’t allow me to lift up my leg; she’s afraid my baby will come out before my gynae arrived. I think I squeeze hard on my husband’s hand to avert the pain. I heard my husband keep on reciting the doa and kissed my forehead (thanks, dear!) as I laid there trying not to push for at least 5 minutes before the doctor finally got there.When the doctor arrived, immediately they had me raised my leg and pushed. After 3 pushings (hehehe), baby Ashraff flew out like a bullet and being washed by the remaining water . He was clean and pink. I think, I was in pain just for an hour. Alhamdulillah.. berkat doa everybody that loves me. The doctor cut the cord (btw, the umbilical cord fell off on day 5 after his bath) and clamped it.

P/S: I'm expressing my milk while writing this. Actually, I work in a secured lab and everybody else went out for lunch. I'm going out as well. I need (my husband might not agree with the word "need") to buy a new sling bag. A bit bigger and sportier so that when we go out or travel, he will carry the bag instead of me.

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia especially those in overseas; be it in US, Singapore, New Zealand, Chile, Africa or Arab. Did you guys celebrate Merdeka? Sesungguhnya, we appreciate/ celebrate Merdeka dgn meriah sekali bila di perantauan. I still remember when I was a student in Washington DC.... We woke up early in the morning, the girls wore baju kurung or kebaya and the guys wore baju Melayu. We rented cars a day before so that we could celebrate Merdeka at the Ambassador's. Masa tu lah nak makan satay ker, nak makan ABC ker, nasi tomato, nasi himpit, rendang and etc. Some of us even wore baju kurung to class just to make sure our classmates knew that 31st August is our Independence Day. Tapi, bila di Malaysia, we didn't do anything. Setakat kibar bendera kat atas kereta. This year, I saw only a few cars put up the flag. My company used to give out flags to the employees a few years back. Sekarang nih nak save cost kut. This morning, I watched (on tv) the Merdeka Parade with my family. Ammar and Umaira punya lah excited sebab ada bendera and lagu jalur gemilang and kereta berhias. Tapi, rasanya crowd kat concert KLCC semalam berganda ramai compared to today's parade.
Hmmmm.. and now.. at 11am on the 31st August I have to come to work. We have projects came in and the engineers need to finished them by today. Okay, they pay me tripple tapi hari nih Merdeka.. Reluctant jugak nak datang tapi nxt week I'm gonna take leave for two days...
Hehehe.. banyaknya TAPI.. Merdeka kah namanya nih?... Think....

"Spray Attack" victim

Was it pepper spray or teargas?.. Tak baik tau buat kat orang tua macam nih.
Anyway, sekarang nih kena berhati hati kalau nak ber-blog...
hahaha tak pasal pasal kena tangkap nanti..

Sad.. Sad.. Sad

I googled the word "Qana" this morning and a lot of links came out. Unfortunately, most of the links had been blocked by the IT department. What do you expect when you're working the American company?. May be it's an intergrity issue to find the truth using company's propoerties. Well.. I'm really sad with all the bombings and killings. I cried whenever I read/ watched the news. I'm not sure whether my hormones is effecting my emotions or what, but I'm really upset. Ooops! what's wrong with my hormones? I need a new entry to talk about this. It's a long, long story. To cut the story short; I'm expecting again. Yes! I'm not ready at first, but I'm okay now. I did great all the while. I managed all the pressures calmly. We are the one who created the unpleasant feelings, surely, we have ways to handle them.
Back to Qana and Israel thingy, we need to do something to show our sympathy. To show that we're angry and we're against the zionist regime. We could boycott the products; Sara Lee, Johnson & Johnson, Coke, Huggies, Carrefour, Maybelline, Nestle and etc are all in the list. I used most of the products in the track record that supporting Israel but I'll try to minimize them - setakat yang mampu lah. Yang obviously TAK mampunya - berhenti kerja. Hahaha, although my company did not listed in the track record, but people were saying I'm working with Jewish company because the owner is a Jew. However, not all Jews are bad. Some of them are against the zinoist as well (hmmm.. am I defensive??.. hahaha). Btw, the pictures attached were taken in 1996 and recently. Teringat kat Umaira bila tengok budak tembam on the second picture.


I think I'm going to collect donations from my colleagues and friends who are keen to contribute but didn't know where to go or what to do. I'll bank- in the money to Mercy Malaysia ( www.mercy.org.my/). I did the same thing before for Afghanistan victims. I managed to collect 400 plus in two days. Berapa kerat sangatlah Melayu kat office nih. Seronok tau when we know there are so many people who are aware and care for the religion and humanity. Hopefully, I have the time and courage to execute my plan. So friends, sesapa yang nak sedekah, you may pass the money to me. Kalau nak suruh guna my money first, the you'll pay later also can lah. Furthermore, nih bulan Rejab.. banyak banyak kan lah sedekah.
Btw, my mom's persatuan tengah kutip duit untuk bawa anak anak yatim miskin berjalan. Nak bagi rasa seronok macam orang yg ada parents lah jugak. Rasanya, melawat KL kut.

River of Tears

Down by the river of tears
she the mother kneeled
and grasped the dirt between her hands
Then planted a flag of peace
Her heart wrenched with fear
when remembering her indelible dreams

She the mother grasped
Frantically her last child

...Rocks... gunfire...bloodshed
Tombs filled with children...

She looked up to the sky
and wished to be with her children...

Then remembering her last child
Gazed desperately into the Horizon
and shouted a piercing sentence

Stop killing our children
stop killing our children

by Laila Yaghi 2001

Bonding

Ibubapa sentiasa berdoa agar dikurniakan anak anak yang soleh dan solehah..
Anak anak yang beriman dan yang akan mendoakan kebahagiaan ibubapa di akhirat kelak..

Birthday Gala???!!

I didn't have a chance to write something on this blog yesterday. However, I've sent you an email to show that I always remember your birthday.
I just wanna let you know that I really appreciate our frienship. Through my good times and bad, when I'm happy or sad, you're always there to listen and to talk to. Kalau nak list, tak cukup satu hari. We had so much fun when we're still studying. Ye lah, free from responsibility. All we knew was fun, fun, fun. Just like slinky. Remember the roller- blading, the skiing, the camping, the Thai Kingdom, the tower records, the Macy's, the Pentagon city, the Potomac river, the Potomac Mills, the reflecting pool (esp on the independence day), most of all, the 1st snow storm and etc. Now, we have tons of responsibilities. We have new families to take care off, jobs to secure our lives and debts to pay (hahaha). However, we're still friend.. best friend... although we seldom talk, hardly meet. Hmm, luckily, there's e-mail.. Alamak!! ada appointment lah.. I need to go..
Betul tak what I've said just now. We have too much responsibilities.

Achtung!

Do Something Silly Everyday...

On the way back from lunch today, we heard ERA (the radio station) announced; “Skuad Era Avanza berada di Petronas Taman Pauh berdekatan dgn Politeknik. Byk hadiah- hadiah menarik.. bla.. bla..”. Both of us were like “What??!! Nak singgah ker?” . Sebab Petronas Taman Pauh is near by; it’s on our way back to office. I was the one who drove the car. So, apa lagi.. I went straight to the Petronas. We were among the first 15 people to arrive. At first, our respond were like “Aikkk.. semua bebudak sekolah jer.. nak singgah ker?” Then, we saw 3 ladies (naik Wish lagi) waited near by. Oh! Ada lah jugak adults. We went straight to the crew and asked for the CD (we heard they are giving away KRU’s CDs). The crew asked us to relax and gave us the door gift first; a can of strawberry soda, antibax soap and minyak yuh yi cap limau. Rupa rupanya, we need to wait and answered questions in order to get all the exclusive souvenirs like caps, CDs, T-shirt or even ERA’s paper back and folder. “Dah pukul 2pm nih, kita nak tunggu ker?” “Jom balik lah” “Tak pe, I’ve informed my boss saying that I need to pay the house loan” “I tak pe, I’d finished my projects”. These were the conversation we had before we decided to stay. At first the questions were very easy but we did not answer the question. We aimed for the bigger souvenir. Orang dah makin ramai, I guess more than 30 dah time tuh.
Bila sampai time CDs, they were asking question on XPDC and we didn’t know the answer. Btw, 2 persons from XPDC came along with the squads. I think, the singer and the guitarist. I’m not sure. I like XPDC’s song esp. Apa Nak Dikata (nostalgia nih) but I didn’t recognize the team members. I knew Search and Wings and Lefthanded very well. Wait! I just knew Nash and Man Kidal from Lefthanded. But, I didn’t know anyone from XPDC.
For caps pulak, they were asking “sapa supporting kat sini?” We definitely won’t embarrass/ humiliate ourselves. So, we need to let go the caps.
Finally, the battle for the grand souvenir; the T-shirt. The crews were looking for people who had RM5 notes.There were about 7-8 people had it including me (actually, my friend pass the money to me since she thought I'm luckier than her). Then, they eliminate people by tossing coins. I manage to be the final two. Seperti yg dijangkakan, setelah seri (tie) for 3 times, I lost!!!! Buang masa!! Ingatkan dapat lah jugak cap or CD. Tapi, hampeh!!. Ada ka patut nak bagi 5 lagi sabun antibax tuh. Although we didn’t get the exclusive souvenirs, we had fun. Terasa muda 10 tahun. It was really fun. Tapi, ada orang yang lagi tua and lagi bersemangat. Kami pun terkejut tengok makcik tuh beriya- iya gila. At least, she won 2 movie tickets.Tak de lah pulang tangan kosong. Sayang sekali, I don’t have camera phone. I really wanna share the thrill with you guys. Next time, kalau ada opportunities to do something stupid like this, I will definitely go. Masa kat situ dok teringat kat Ammar jer. Kalau bawa Ammar nih boleh dah dpt cap Akedemi Fantasia sebab depa suruh nyanyi and menari the theme song. Ammar expert nih.

Everything happened for a reason???

Someone forwarded this to me...


Zidane Explains
France captain Zinedine Zidane was sent off in Sunday's World Cup final defeat for headbutting defender Marco Materazzi in the chest.
The midfield star, who has now retired from football, appeared on French television on Wednesday to explain his actions.
Here is a translation of what he told the TV channel Canal Plus about the Materazzi incident.

Interviewer: You know the Italian players well because you played in Italy for five years. Did you have any problem with any of them beforehand?
Zinedine Zidane: Not at all. You always have friction with certain players...that is the game, it has always been like that. But I never had any clashes with anyone.

Interviewer: Nor Materazzi?
Zinedine Zidane: No, never. There was nothing beforehand and nothing in the match until he started pulling my jersey.
He grabbed my shirt and I told him to stop. I told him if he wanted I'd swap it with him at the end of the match.
That is when he said some very hard words, which were harder than gestures. He repeated them several times. It all happened very quickly and he spoke about things which hurt me deep down.

Interviewer: Everyone wants to know exactly what he said...
Zinedine Zidane: They were very serious things, very personal things.

Interviewer: About your mother and your sister?
Zinedine Zidane: Yes. They were very hard words. You hear them once and you try to move away.
But then you hear them twice, and then a third time... I am a man and some words are harder to hear than actions. I would rather have taken a blow to the face than hear that.

Interviewer: He said these things about your mother and sister two or three times?
Zinedine Zidane: Yes. I reacted and of course it is not a gesture you should do. I must say that strongly.
It was seen by two or three billion people watching on television and millions and millions of children.
It was an inexcusable gesture and to them, and the people in education whose job it is to show children what they should and shouldn't do, I want to apologise.

Interviewer: You apologise to them but do you really regret having done it?
Zinedine Zidane: I can't regret it because if I do it would be like admitting that he was right to say all that. And above all, it was not right.
We always talk about the reaction, and inevitably it must be punished. But if there is no provocation, there is no reaction.
First of all you have to say there is provocation, and the guilty one is the one who does the provoking. The response is to always punish the reaction, but if I react, something has happened.
Do you imagine that in a World Cup final like that, with just 10 minutes to go to the end of my career, I am going to do something like that because it gives me pleasure?

Interviewer: No of course not. But at the moment you exploded...
Zinedine Zidane: There was provocation, and it was very serious, that is all. My action was inexcusable but you have to punish the real culprit, and the real culprit is the one who provoked it. Voila.

The Result

We came back from KL on Sunday nite at about 11pm and reach Penang at about 4am Monday morning. Sempatlah tengok Zidane headbutt dada Materazzi. And most people said Zidane ended his career in disgrace. Tak pe lah Minah, he’s stil a HERO to France fans. Italy won the world cup for the fourth time kan?..

Pak Lah still keeps quite although Nazri, Najib and Hamid Alba had tried to back him up. Come on…People wanna hear something from you.

I’ve read Harian Metro on Sunday bought by my brother in law. FYI, I seldom buy newspapers since I can read them online. Tapi, nih tgh gila SUDOKU lak. Sesapa yg tak reti, don't try.. addicted oiii!!!. I might buy The Stars or NST after this. Ooops! I’ve found Sudoku Website. Print dari sini saja lah. To my dear husband, don’t worry dapur tetap berasap (hahahaha). Okay… Mawi had said something in the Harian Metro. A thorough explanations in the interviews and on his column. Mawi has his own column in the Metro?.. Wow!!.

My FIL is doing great. He’s recovering. He improved a lot on the day we left compare to the first day we arrived. Alhamdulillah. This family has a strong relationship. I really adore my MIL. I can see that she’s very patient. She takes an excellent care of her husband. She can still smile and talk sweetly although I knew she’s tired. Hopefully we can be as patience as she is when trial comes. Insya- Allah…

Jumble Mumble

World cup finals, Italy vs France. Everybody is talking about this today. My colleagues keep on reviewing all the teams again. This player is rough, that player is good, this team should not lose, that team wins because of luck and etc. Since I’m the only female here (in this lab, the place that I work now), I just kept quite. However, these people keep on asking my opinion. May be they want me to get involved. They asked me once on the semi-finals prediction, I told them Italy and France will make to the finals but I preferred Italy and Portugal. Mungkin jawapan tuh nampak cam professional kut. That’s why they keep including me in their conversation. Anyway, I choose Italy for this year champion.

Past few weeks, people were busy talking about Mahathir vs Pak Lah. I really like this topics and almost everybody knows aku SOKONG sapa. Apa nama… . I didn’t want to elaborate more on this issue as it might hurt someone’s feeling.

This week, Mawi putus tunang is the hot subject that has been whined. Berhari hari jadi front page on a few newspapers. Malaysians must like this guy very much. Kesian Hamid Alba, tolong jawab bagi pihak PM pun tak leh make on the front page. Whatever happened, I still don’t blam Mawi. This guy should be respected as he didn’t make any comment bluntly.

Okay.. back to my story. A few days ago, me and my mom were discussing about dinner vs hi-tea. I have quarterly group dinner (seafood buffet at Evergreen Laurel) tomorrow’s night while my mom have hi-tea with her persatuan at Grand Continental, Alor Setar. Bincang punya bincang, we decided that I will go to the dinner with my prince and my mom will bring my princess to the hi- tea. Ok.. everybody is happy. Tiba tiba, this morning, my husband told me that my FIL is not feeling well. So, I decided to take leave tomorrow and follow my husband to KL. My two children will follow us to KL. So, tak jadi lah dinner (may be my boss bg voucher kut.. yehaaa!! I can go with my husband and bring both kids.. lagi seronok!!). Itu lah dikatakan “kita hanya merancang, Tuhan yg menentukan”. The same thing happened to Mawi, jodoh pertemuan ditangan Tuhan, tapi, you can pray for it. As for Mahathir, ajal maut di tangan Tuhan, selagi hayat dikandung badan, selagi itulah kita perlu berbakti.

Me Again??!!

Most of us still think of Slinkys as toys. But they have their serious side, too. The springy steel spirals have been used to build everything from radio antennas to light fixtures and pecan pickers. Physics teachers use them in class to demonstrate cool stuff like – wave properties – forces – and – energy states.
The Slinky has even made it to the big screen, in the “Toy Story” movie series.
Time’s up. It’s time for us to slink away.

SALUTE

Tidak sedihkan anda melihat wajah ini..
Wajah yg banyak berjasa kepada kita..
Wajah yang cuba sedaya upaya menaikkan mertabat kita...
Wajah yang kini dicemuh, dikatakan pengkhianat..
Hanya kerana ingin membela bangsa dan negara...

P/S: We Lost our Pride the Day this Man Retired

Mee Udang Revelation

I believe everybody knows Mee Udang Penang or Mee Udang Sg 2 to be specific. Ok.. Let me show you the pictures (taken by me, myself.. so, it’s real… no super-impose what so ever). Terliur tak?... The close-up picture gelaplah pulak. Tapi, ada PC yg boleh view cantik kut. The expensive one.

Back to the mee udang story.. After one of our friends visited Penang and had mee udang as a treat, mee udang become more famos. The reviews and the pictures make Penang as one of the "must visit" destination. Woi! korang datang Penang just for mee udang ker? Sedih tau!!..

My officemates often have mee udang for lunch but they go to Juru. It's nearer, besides that, we don't know mee udang Sg 2 opens during lunch time or not. Hmmm.. kenapalah tak de initiative nak bertanya nih. The different between Juru's Mee udang and Sg 2's are the udangs /prawns and the kuah/gravy. Hehehe.. of course all mee/ noodles taste the same. Sg 2's udangs are bigger and tastier.. may be fresher. The gravy… I think Sg 2's has more tomato taste (I love tomatoes) and Juru's has the MSG taste (alamak! kena saman lak nanti). Apa apa pun, come to Penang and we definitely bring you there.

Oh! lupa lak.. Sg 2 has 2 restaurants, the original one (the one that Jalan Jalan Cari Makan visited) and the other one with the attractive lighting effect. I think the original one taste better although it doesn't serve (with money paid) Ketam/ crabs, fresh fish, rice and etc. Hello!! It's original; it has to maintain the uniqueness.

Is blogging good??

Actually my husband didn’t like the idea of me having a blog. He assumed that I’m going to upload all of our photos here. Alahai sayang… I’m not gonna upload ALL. I just wanna upload a few J. Here goes the first one; the picture of our lovely prince and princess.
