I wish I have more than 24 hours!

Aku kalau balik rumah jer mesti blog ni akan jadi macam anak terbiar tau...bila dah sentiasa busy dengan anak sendiri, memang kurang sikit masa untuk diri sendiri (eh macam rhyme pulak)...Most of my time at home will be occupied dengan aktiviti di rumah with my family..Bukan tak nak meng'update' tapi setiap kali mood nak update datang dah duduk depan laptop then suddenly mesti hati ni selalu rasa tak senang and nak check balik tengok apa yang anak aku tengah buat..selalu tau macam tu..end up blog ni memang tak ber'update'..

Mesti ada yang cakap, eleh ko anak baru sorang dah kecoh..tu ade blogger anak 2-3-4 still jer boleh update blog tetiap hari..weh aku memang salute la dekat dieorang yang anak dah 2-3 ni boleh update blog hari²..some of them tu dah la berkerja..tapi never fail to update blog with new entry almost everyday..for instant kak merah kita..the infamous blogger..okay maybe anak dia dah besar² kan tapi still la they need her attention..I memang adore you kak red!!..sometimes I wonder how on earth they could do such things..or maybe I'm the one who is lazy?

Tapi dalam masa aku sibuk² tu, semalam aku sempat pergi buat facial..itu pon after my husband bising² tengok muka isteri dia dah macam ladang penternakan jerawat...hahaha..noo lah....of course la dia tak cakap straight to the point yang muka aku banyak jerawat but suddenly he came up with this line " Sayang..you dah lama tak pergi facial kan?..ni adik² ada dekat rumah boleh dieorang tengok² kan Emir while you go do your facial" Masa tu aku pon rasa pelik, dia tiba-tiba concern sangat pasal facial appointment aku..Pastu terus pergi tengok muka sendiri dekat cermin, lantas hatiku berkata "I really do need a facial treatment"..terus call Asterspring set appointment semalam..

Memang dah lama sangat tak pergi buat facial, since my last facial appointment was..wait I forgot..I think it was 4 months ago kot..sampaikan..last time aku balik, I was so busy with packing and unpacking (we were moving to our new house)...furthermore, it was Raya when I was at home last time..super duper busy!! So after awhile not pampering myself, yesterday facial session was such a blast!! rasa sangat relax and aku memang enjoy la..terus set another appointment next week..hehe..

I personally think as a women, no matter how busy you are, you guys really need to find sometimes to ease yourself..especially for those yang dah ada anak tu..jangan jadikan "sibuk dengan anak" sebagai alasan untuk tiada masa for yourself (peringatan untuk diri sendiri jugak)..biarlah hanya untuk beberapa jam..you guys really need it! Buat lah anything yang boleh buat you all feel relax and happy..do massage or facial..watch your favorite movie or read book...barulah diri tu nampak sentiasa muda and ceria!!

Mari belajar bahasa melayu dengan Ben bukan bendi..

I've stumbled into this video from facebook..Mamat ni kelakar giler. Dah la *cough* cute dan comel jer gaya percakapan bahasa melayu beliau. Beliau belajar bahasa melayu within 1 1/2 year jer. Tanpa intensive class or what so ever. Just by talking to our local guys and reading. *thumbs up*.

Mat Saleh pon beriya nak belajar bahasa melayu tapi kenapa orang melayu sendiri tak nak agungkan bahasa sendiri *pelik*. Haa, termasuklah aku sekali.

Korang tau tak mostly anak² menteri kita pon cakap bahasa melayu bersepah macam mana lah nak tunjukkan contoh yang baik kepada orang lain. Korang tengok anak President Jepun siap bawak translator kalau pergi mana². Bukanlah nak tunjuk beliau kaya, beliau boleh bayar translator. Bukan². Bukan jugak sebab beliau tak tau berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggeris tapi sebab beliau nak orang² lain tau yang beliau memartabatkan bahasa ibunda beliau even kat mana pon beliau berada.

Don't get me wrong. Aku tak bermaksud yang korang tak payah berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggeris langsung. Bahasa Inggeris kan International language. Even aku pon communicate dalam bahasa Inggeris time kerja. Tapi jangan la sampai jadi poyo sangat sambil berkata "Ooh, I forgot to speak Malay la" atau "Sorry, speak in English please, I don't understand you (dalam loghat Kelantan)", padahal makan budu lebih hebat dari aku. Memang nak kena pelempang.

Ooh..you all boleh kelik dekat sini untuk jadi kipas-susah-mati (die hard fan) beliau. Sabar dik² non. Akak tau korang tak sabar nak kelik link tersebut sebab nak tatap wajah cute beliau mengenali beliau dengan lebih rapat.

Beliau akan ke KL bulan December ni kot. So siapa² nak buat temujanji panas (hot date) dengan beliau boleh la hantarkan email ye. Oh aku tak boleh. Aku ada temujanji terpanas dengan encik suami *tak nampak ke encik suami dah jeling² tu*..=P

How well can you accept criticism?

"Eh, apesal make-up ko ni tebal sangat?"

"Tulisan kau ni dah la besar² pastu macam cakar ayam pulak tu"

"Report macam ni kau kata terbaik, adik aku dekat tadika pon boleh buat"

"Keciknya rumah kau, macam rumah kucing!"

"Baju kau ni aku pernah nampak la dekat uptown Danau Kota, kau kata kau tempah dekat Rizalman eh?"

Sakit hati tak kalau dapat kritikan macam ni? Rasa macam nak terjun bangunan 14 tingkat. Okay fine, melampau sangat tu. Bila kau dapat kritikan macam ni, kau rasa self-esteem kau terus merundum, say from 100% terus decline 0.01%. Tu pon mujur ada balance 0.01%.

Tak melampau sangat kalau aku cakap, dalam hidup ni kalau takde kritikan memang kita tak boleh maju. The thing is, how you face that criticism. Tapi kenapa sometimes (or should I say most of the time) susah sangat kita nak terima kritikan ni? Is it because we expect our self too high then we can't accept our weaknesses? or sebab sejak kecik mak bapak tak pernah tegur kesalahan kau, so kau ingat semua benda yang kau buat tu bagus²? So bila now orang tegur, itu salah ini salah, kau susah sangat nak terima?

Orang yang bagi kritik pon ada macam² jenis jugak, ada yang positive and ada yang negative.

Golongan I
Jenis suka nak condemn orang lain, supaya dia nampak lebih bagus dari orang yang dia kritik.
Orang² macam ni sangat keji tau. Orang macam ni, memang jenis tak boleh nampak orang lain lebih sikit dari dia. Memang dia pantang, kalau orang lain lagi bagus dari dia. Contoh ayat² kritikan dia:

Si Jenab baru beli sofa baru color merah, lalu ditegur Sepiah,

Sepiah: "Jenab, aku tengok kerusi baru warna merah kau tu dah sama macam color kain buruk alas kaki rumah si Jenah. Kalau aku, aku tak beli color cenggitu"

Tengok keji tak keji si Sepiah ni. Biarlah si Jenab nak feeling² dengan kerusi baru dia, kau tetiba nak dengki apesal?

Orang² yang tergolong dalam golongan ni memang akan sentiasa bagi kritik tak kira la if kau dah buat yang terbaik pon dia kritik, kau buat tak terbaik, memang of course lagi teruk kau kena kritik..

Harap korang boleh relate contoh yang aku bagi untuk golongan pertama ni. Boleh kan? kan?

Golongan II
Jenis yang suka kritik tapi kritik belakang², tak cakap straight to the face.
*Ehem*.
It's been our culture kot suka bitching2 belakang orang. Kalau kau tak puas hati cakap la depan² kan. Ker kau takut dan tak boleh nak menerima kenyataan?

Jenab: "Si Sepiah tu kalau pakai lipstick baru dia yang kaler merah dah macam bibir Missy Elliot dah aku tengok"

Apa kena mengena bibir Missy Elliot dengan warne lipstick si Sepiah? Memang dasar pendengki tau kau Jenab.

Golongan III
Jenis yang suka bagi constructive criticism.
Golongan ni memang harus dicontohi. Bagi dia, do right at the first place. Orang2 macam ni memang takde hasad dengki. Kalau dia kritik or tegur memang ikhlas sebab nak orang yang ditegur berubah ke arah kebaikan. Contoh ayat² kritikan yang very constructive:

Si suami melihat isterinya memakai tudung dengan blouse color kuning striking, lepas tu pakai seluar color merah mak ngah dipadankan dengan lipstik color merah jugak. Lalu si suami berkata kepada isteri:

Suami: "Yang..yang..abang tengok kalau yang pakai seluar color hitam dengan lipstik color beige/natural nampak lagi sexy stylo la yang..lepas tu yang pakai handbeg color brown yang abang bagi present masa birthday yang aritu tu..pergh memang kalau abang tengok pon abang rasa nak tengok yang jer tak nak tengok perempuan lain dah..oppsss..jangan marah yang..abang gurau jer.."

Isteri: "Yeker bang..alar abang ni pandai la fesyen² ni..okay la yang tukar sekarang tapi abang janji jangan pandang perempuan lain tau.."

Kan elok kalau cakap macam tu..kritikan yang di campur dengan cadangan yang membina. Bukan sahaja boleh membawa kepada perubahan yang lebih baik, malah hubungan antara kedua belah pihak pon menjadi lebih baik..

Aku rasa cara nak mengatasi criticism bagi golongan yang pertama dan kedua tu, you always need to know in your heart that what you do is right. Don't think too much about apa yang akan di kritik sebab benda ni boleh menjadi kan kau stress. Kalau boleh, instead of waiting your enemies to criticize you, become your own severe critics of your failure. Think that no one but only you can blame yourself for your fall. Be positive.

Pergi lah mana2 pon dalam dunia ni, memang tak boleh lari dengan 3 jenis golongan pengkritik di atas. Sepanjang aku kerja ni pon, aku dah di kritik oleh pelbagai jenis bangsa. Ada yang aku boleh boleh perbaiki, aku cuba perbaiki. Yang mana aku rasa macam tak patut jer aku kena kritik aku dengar jer. Paling tak pon aku discuss dengan colleague aku yang lain. Mat saleh ni kalau kritik orang memang dahsyat. Takde nyer dia nak pikir perasaan orang lain.

Bagi aku selagi kritikan yang aku terima tak invades my personal life and my family, I will always look at it on the bright side. Sometimes, aku pon degil jugak and suka melawan tapi seboleh² nya aku cuba dengar dulu kritikan tu, fikir then baru jawab. Bak kata three wise man, 'Diam adalah pintar'...Apa? tak tau three wise man tu apa? KRU lah. Dalam lagu 'Fanatik' tu.

I heart you Yusry KRU. Tiba-tiba. ("-_-)

Rough sea, sea sick

Salam guys!! How are you guys doing?? Me? I'm doing okay..Today is the second day I'm on the rig..and for the first time ever I've got sea sick..blerghhh..rasa macam kena morning sickness tau..dah2 you all jangan nak pikir I pregnant pulak..I tau jer apa yang terlintas di pikiran kamu² semua..Pastu rig I pergi ni bukan jack-up rig tau (jack-up rig ni, structure dia attached to the sea bed) tapi this rig is floating rig..So imagine la bila big wave hit the rig, memang terasa terhuyung-hayang..Semalam masa I tidur pon, I boleh terjaga in the middle of the night sebab rasa macam nak terjatuh katil...Laut dekat North sea ni a bit rough especially during winter time...Pastu pagi tadi cerita la kat my colleague, dia cakap kat I wave sekarang baru ala² manja gitu, belum teruk lagi..What??? Ala² manja?? Tak leh nak imagine kalau wave ni mengganas..Dia kata dia pernah experienced yang lagi teruk dari ni sampai semua orang kena evacuated dalam accomodation tak boleh kerja dekat luar..seram sejuk lak I dengar..I doa supaya takde la anything bad happen while I'm here..dah la dekat tengah² laut ni..Nauzubillah....

Sejuk tu tak payah cakap la...sekejap jer duduk dekat luar tangan dah rase kebas² dah..I duduk luar kejap² jer , pastu masuk cabin warm up myself then baru keluar balik buat kerja..Mujur I dapat winter coverall, tebal la sikit from the normal coverall yang I selalu pakai..Tapi I pelik betul la dengan Norwegian ni, kulit dieorang macam kulit biawak la..or maybe dieorang berdarah sejuk? Hihi..pakai coverall dah la yang nipis punyer pastu kat dalam pakai selapis jer..Gagah giler okay..I ni dah dengan winter coverall nyer, pastu pakai lagi 2 lapis baju dekat dalam pon masih tak tahan duduk dekat luar lama²..Maybe dieorang dah biasa kot dengan weather camni..I ni berdarah manis panas..=P

Pastu my skin jadi a bit dry...The same thing happened when I was in Libya and Paris during winter..I rasa my skin memang sedikit sensitive..My friend cakap time sejuk2 ni kurangkan mandi pakai air panas + sabun..so takkan nak pakai air sejuk pulak?? takkan tak nak sabun badan pulak kan? Eww!!..Has anyone got the same problem as mine?? share la tips sikit..even dah pakai body lotion sebeban plus dengan Vaseline yang dilumur satu badan, but I still feel itchy almost all over my body...I mandi 2 kali sehari yer..Perlu ker nak explain??...especially tang betis dengan peha..Dah try tahan from scratching, but kadang² 'ter'garu jugak..sekali dapat garu perghhh memang nikmat..tapi nanti menangis la kau tahan pedih..

Ooohh..tapi I nak puji sikit la dining dekat rig ni..memang best giler!! the best dining I've ever seen so far..makanan pon sedap² boleh tahan...tapi tak leh nak nak expect ada gulai masak lemak dengan asam pedas kan *drooling*..tapi macam biasa I kena be extra careful sikit, boleh dikatakan selalu jugak dieorang served pork..I kena belajar Norwegian language a little bit especially words like pork, chicken, meat, fish and mostly foods name la because everything is written in Norwegian..My favorite is the dessert section and salad bar..Macam² ada...European kan suka makan salad² ni kan, so salad dia memang fresh² and topping pon ada macam²...ice cream dieorang siap letak topping macam dekat Baskin Robbins..sedap-licious!!Kau ni mira kalau bab makanan mesti semua nak sedap kan..memang dasar pelahap kuat makan betol!

Banyak lagi nak cerita kat you all..tapi nanti I sambung la yer..nak pergi mandi, solat and tidur..

The cutest wedding montage ever!!

Ooh this is absolutely not a wedding blog..But I really admire this video montage...how I wish I had a wedding montage just like this one..It is sooo cute and creative..This wedding montage is tribute to Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar and Dr. Halina wedding day...Saiful Nang and team really did a really amazing job towards this 'Wedding of the decade"...

The second video highlight the wonderful moment during their solemnization and reception..Dr Halina looks so fairly beautiful and I can't stop looking at her face through out the video..cantik sangat² la..!! Bertuah Datuk Angkasawan kita..

Why is this happening to me now?

My mood while writing this entry : Pissed off and full of frustration (Please bare with me otherwise please kindly leave this page)

Well, yesterday I traveled from Port Harcourt to Lagos, I arrived in Lagos around 12 in the afternoon. Flight to Lagos supposed to be at 8.50 AM as written on the ticket was delayed to 11 AM. Even you think sometimes AirAsia or Firefly has poor services, local flight in Nigeria is even worse. I didn't get any information regarding my flight was delayed and I had to depend on the announcement made in the airport, which was unclear and I had to listen very carefully to what the announcer said (sometimes it is hard for me to understand Nigerian accent). Not to mention, unfriendly airport staff. Urghhhhh!! That was not a good way to start my day..

I arrived in Lagos and then the driver took me to the hotel..After settling down and ordered foods for buka puasa, around 6 PM I've got a call from unfamiliar number. I picked up the phone.

"Hello may I speak to Miss Amirah, this is YY calling from travel desk" She called me Miss..=)

"Yes, Amirah speaking, anything that I could help you?"

"I have to inform you that your flight has been postponed to Saturday"

"Pardon me, you've said my flight has been postponed to Saturday? Saturday the 21st?"

"Yeah, you heard me right. You flight will be on Saturday the 21st not Friday the 20th"

"But I have got the flight itinerary, how come my flight has to be postponed?"

"Well, you were in the waiting list, the flight was actually fully-booked when we booked your seat"

"Why don't you inform me earlier? Why now?"

"We are so sorry, we just got the confirmation from Emirate*s just now"

I was speechless, feeling like slapping someone's face and the only thing I could do is to call my husband and deliver the sad news. I know. It's just one day delayed, right? It's not a big deal to certain of you. But it is a BIG deal for me. After spending 8 weeks away from my family, do you think I could handle another one day? Hell, nooooo...Even if my manager ask me to stay I would say no to him..Remember this entry...Plus I'm in Lagos now, if I am still in Port Harcourt, probably I could kill my time by going to the base and continue working. But here, I am alone and the fact that I have to spend one more day locked up in the hotel room (I can't go out because of the security thingy!) does not really help to cheer me up. Lucky me the hotel provides internet connection..at least internet could makes me occupied..

Most importantly, I have set my mind that I will see my family on this Saturday! I was and still am frustrated knowing that my flight is postponed. Not only me, my husband too..He's waiting for me to come home for 8 weeks! Even he said he's okay with the news, but from his voice I know he's also disappointed with the news. He just didn't want to show it to me..Instead he tried to cheer me up..Thank you sayang...

Maybe ada hikmah behind all this..Maybe I did something bad to someone and this is some kind like punishment to me..Ya Allah tabahkan lah hati hamba mu ini untuk menghadapi dugaan Mu ini..

When it is time for me to go home, no body is allowed to stop me!

Alhamdulillah dah pon masuk 2 hari kita dalam bulan Ramadhan..Time flies so fast without us realizing it..As for me now, I am pretty occupied with operation which still going on..Ni pon update blog lepas habis shift..My shift starts from 1:00 PM in the afternoon and end at 1:00 AM in the morning..So habis jer shift bukak laptop check Facebook and update blog kesayangan..Di sebabkan Nigeria is 7 hours late from Malaysia time so by the time I habis shift dekat Malaysia dah pukul 8 pagi..Encik suamiku itu sure tengah siap² nak pergi kerja or dah sampai office..Sometimes dapat la cakap through phone..Balik Malaysia ni kena adjust balik time tidur yang terjejas sebab time difference ni..Selalunya by second day tu my body dah boleh adapt dengan time in Malaysia..Probably sebab my body dah biasa dengan perubahan longitude and latitude yang mendadak..wahhh ayat geography la sangat....hehehe

Yesterday, menu berbuka yang di'serve' agak kurang menyelerakan left me no choice just to telan jer la apa yang ada..nak demand lebih karang tak pasal² chef kat dining hall tu bagi I senduk ngan kuali suruh masak sendiri...I boleh jer nak masak sendiri...mafish musykilah bak kata Pak Arab...Just ingredient jer yang tak cukup..Alasan eh cakap jer la malas masak..=p

So menu hari ni agak okay sikit..ada fried chicken dengan baked fish..I chose baked fish with rice..Dekat dining food will be served based on two categories which are continental and local..Continental food biasa nya agak western sikit and kalau dah sebut pasal western sure la either grilled, steam, baked or fried food..memang takde la gulai masak lemak or asam pedas..Local food served of course la makanan ruji orang Nigeria..Dulu I agak curious jugak kenapa la Nigerian women and men mostly berbadan agak besar..Salah satu factor mesti lah sebab gene kan and other factor is makanan harian yang they all makan everyday..seriously memang lah sangat boleh menggemukkan..sorry to say la...banyak cholesterol and carbs..nanti kalau ada chance I will take pictures and show to you all..atas rig ni susah sikit nak tangkap gambar sebab semuanya nak kena ada permit-to-work form..I pernah tanya dekat my colleague, apa yang Nigerian men will consider to choose their girlfriend or wife..Amazingly, dia cakap Nigerian men akan cari girl yang badan agak gempal² gitu..Dia kata lagi gempal lagi bagus..At first I ingat dia buat lawak ker apa, tapi bila I tanya my other Nigerian friend pon dia cakap benda yang sama..So gadis berbadan kurus macam I ni memang tak laku la kat Nigeria ni..=)

Dah melalut-lalut cerita I ni actually nak cerita pasal my flight ticket dah confirm..So semalam I called my manager dalam pukul 9.30 malam camtu..Nak tunggu habis shift kang tak pasal² manager I ingat I nak buat prank call pulak..So I called la awal sikit..

Me: Hi boss! how are you?
Manager: I'm fine thank you..how about you?
Me: I am great!
Manager: How's everything...bla...bla...bla.(manager I ni banyak cakap so banyak la soalan dia tanya)
Me: So far so good....bla...bla..bla..Ermmm, boss..did you received my mail regarding my flight booking?
Manager: Flight booking?(lagi nak buat2 tanya)
Me: Yes..I sent the mail to you yesterday..I want to change the return flight date..
Manager: Owhh..ya..ya..I received the mail..Don't worry I will ask the travel desk to do it for you..I thought you want to stay longer (sambil gelak yang agak menjengkelkan)...

Stay longer?? Nak kena siku dengan I ker..Even I knew he was joking but for me when it is time for me to go home I HAVE to go home..There's no joke! Nasib baik today I received email from travel desk pasal my flight booking..It really made my day..=)..Thank you Mr Manager!

Okaylah I nak balik bilik tidur dah ni..Kang tak cukup tidur pulak bertambah² besar eye bag aku yang memang dah sedia besar ni..Nak kena cantik² kan diri sebelum balik untuk suami I kan..oppss...okay dah² pergi tidur sekarang!

After 3 now comes 4!!

When all people were bragging about the new released of iPhone 3G back then, I just hold back and said to myself- be patient Mira..pakai jer dulu phone yang ada...and when iPhone 3GS was released, at that time hati dah start rasa tak tenang selagi tak dapat pegang iPhone dekat tangan sendiri...I discussed with my husband about me changing my phone and coincidentally he also wanted to own iPhone for himself..Okay deal..then we each got our own iPhone 3GS...

Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more technology comes out!...I just got to know iPhone 4G is just about to be released in the market...I was like what?? I just bought my iPhone 3GS like 6 - 7 months ago and now Apple came out with the new version of iPhone which of course with more new features and applications....Duhhh...Hati kembali rasa kurang senang...Apakahhhh??

Is it worth it if I own this gorgeous shiny little thing??

Aaaahhhh...so menggoda jiwa ragaku...

Black color is even more sexy!

Here I listed out a few features of the reasons why I should have iPhone 4G:

Thinner! With shiny glass back piece - 9.3 mm thick.


Unified Mailbox (all email accounts in one area).

Application folders.

New wallpaper/background options.


A new, sleeker body design.

OLED screen.

Multi-Tasking. (use multiple functions at once without going in and out of apps).

iChat camera (on the front so you can have video chat!!!).

32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out.


Extended battery life!!!


Hi Definition Camera (5 megapixel) with a backside illuminated sensor AND FLASH!

Hi Definition Camcorder.

Hi Definition audio.

Messaging light.

True GPS built in.

For more info kindly go to here.

For those yang pakai iPhone mesti tak berapa nak puas hati dengan performance battery kan?? With iPhone 4G they improved the battery performance to 40%!!

To all iPhone lover, iPhone 4G just been released to the market on June 2010 but tak tau la bila akan sampai kat Malaysia..and by that time I am pretty sure mesti ramai giler nak trade-in iPhone 3G and change to iPhone 4G..High possibility it will happen to yours truly jugak..opppss!

Waka Waka Song

I love this song. Waka Waka. It makes me wanna dance each time I listen to it and I am proud that Shakira did do this song justice, revamped it, made it a world hit and did not westernize it at all. The song is definately inspirational... this is indeed the time for Africa! I love the fact that in this song, one gets a taste of the African melodies with the Shakira twist!

Enjoy!

Oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh

And when I searched for the Waka Waka lyrics, I found the original version of Waka Waka song..Do you know that this song is originally sung by a makossa group from Cameroon called Golden Sounds?? Well I don't! This group were beloved throughout the continent for their silly dances and costumes.

Here's the original version of Waka Waka Song...

I personally like Waka Waka Song from Shakira better! She's hot and she totally knows how to shake her bootylicious!!!!=p

World Cup Fever

I started to develop interest nak ambil tahu pasal football ni after I met my husband...Since then ada la ambil tahu sikit2 pasal nama-nama team, nama-nama player sometimes teman my husband watch football together and try my best to support his favorite football team even tak berapa nak clear why my husband menjadi die-hard-fan team tersebut...but demi suami tercinta I layan kan jer la..

So since World Cup (WC) is around the corner, memang my husband dah sound awal-awal time WC ni especially kalau time team favorite dia tengah main jangan la sesekali nak tukar channel TV or ajak dia pergi to anywhere memang permintaan anda tidak akan dilayan..But sometimes atas sebab-sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan dia terpaksa redha la miss tengok game tu but I know that hati dia memang tak tenang and his iPhone memang tak pernah lekang dari tangan sebab nak check update dekat soccernet..I, on the other hand ada dekat Malaysia masa opening WC and sempat la watch few games before I come back to work..

Kalau ikutkan distance from my work place dengan South Africa memang dah dekat sangat dah..tapi masa tak mengizinkan untuk singgah ke sana..Kalau ada rezeki boleh tengok WC live dekat Brazil in 4 years from now..Mana lah tau Encik Suami nak bagi hadiah anniversary holiday dekat Brazil ker...hehehe

Masa opening WC this year, we were in Singapore and in the hotel that we were staying has no sport channel..My husband memang frust habis..ada la channel yang tunjuk WC opening ceremony but tak tunjuk the first game..TV1 kan dapat jugak dekat Singapore but during WC TV1 blocked viewer from Singapore watching all shows on TV1..My husband told me, TV1 pays a lot to show WC game on air..Itu pon lepas share dengan Astro..If I am not mistaken they have to pay around RM 50 juta untuk dapatkan license untuk siarkan WC games..It's a lot of moneyyyyyy!!!!...Singapore government agak kedekut nak bagi rakyat Singapore tengok WC for free so Singaporean have to pay for special sport channel untuk membolehkan mereka tengok WC live..

To show our moral support towards my husband, Emir and I pon ada pakaian rasmi sempena World Cup ni...

My husband all time favorite team..ENGLAND!!
One for Ayah, one for Ibu and one for Emir..
Special delivery from UK..

UPDATE!
England is qualified to the second round.
Tonight ada game England VS Germany..Hopefully luck is always on England!

Quote from my husband "ENGLAND till I DIE"

My current addiction

When it comes to games, I will always choose games which is simple to play and doesn't need strategy or complicated walkthrough to reach the next level...I am not really a good gamer..It's hard to see me holding a joystick or sit infront of computer playing games for hours..But currently I dah jumpa satu game yang membuatkan I jadi addicted to it...No..no bukan computer games..bukan PS3 games jugak...

...Virtual Families...my current addiction!

If anyone who ever play game The Sims, game ni lebih kurang macam tulah but more simpler than The Sims..and it's in Iphone!

"This game begin by adopting your first virtual person. This is a very important choice to make early on, as the attributes that you settle on will affect how the rest of the game plays out. You can go through any number of different people to adopt. Each has their own physical appearance, profession, salary, likes and dislikes, and opinion on whether or not they want children. This last attribute is of particular importance. Couples who do not both want children can still have children, but you will have to work extra hard to keep them happy. Depending on how you want your virtual family to run, choose wisely."

New Look!

Semalam lepas blog-hopping secara tiba-tiba rasa nak tukar layout blog..and terjumpa dengan layout yang ni..nampak girly sikit..but who cares because I LIKE!!

Enjoyce!!

Duit..duit..duit..$$$

"Money doesn't buy happiness"

....ungkapan yang tidak boleh dipakai lagi di zaman ini..I rasa most of you pon mesti bersetuju dengan pendapat I ni..

Di Malaysia sekarang ini, most of women berkerjaya..Salah satu sebab yang mendesak wanita berkerjaya adalah untuk membantu suami menanggung pendapatan keluarga..Sekarang ni semua pon nak kena bayar. Sekarang ni masuk public toilet pon kena bayar. To be honest, masa I pregnant kan Emir memang duit mengalir laju sebab beli all the necessity for the newborn...I bukan la seorang yang mementingkan brand sangat..Biarlah yang tak ada brand pon kalau I rasa quality nya bagus and selamat untuk dipakai I beli..and semua barang yang I beli before Emir was delivered pon barang-barang yang memang diperlukan sahaja..Alhamdulillah company I tanggung all charges during delivery. So kurang la sikit benda yang nak kena bayar for us…But still lepas bersalin ada jer benda yang kurang and nak kena tokok tambah..duit lagi tu..

Then bila anak dah besar sikit mesti lah nak beli baju baru sebab baju yang dulu dah tak muat, beli pampers lagi and baby foods..And sebab Emir hanya breastfed until he was 4 ½ months then after that dia minum susu formula, kena beli susu dia lagi..Memang banyak nak pakai duit..Itu belum cerita bila Emir nak masuk sekolah and ada tambahan anak lagi (InsyaAllah kalau dimurahkan rezeki)..Memang tanggungjawab parents untuk sediakan keperluan anak-anak kan..anak ni amanah Allah so memang kena jaga betul-betul...Jangan hanya tahu “nak buat” anak sahaja tapi lepas tu anak di abaikan…berdosa besar tu..Nauzubillah..

Okay, for those yang belum kahwin tu, I believe mesti ada jer issue pasal duit..Mana kan nak bayar duit kereta, nak bayar duit sewa rumah lagi..nak prepare duit untuk kahwin lagi (zaman sekarang ni kahwin memang pakai banyak duit)...Ini satu perkara lagi yang I tak berapa nak agree even I’ve already married..Bukan ke sepatutnya perkahwinan itu tak membebankan? I mean, people now a days macam terikut-ikut sangat tradisi sampai mereka lupa yang perkara wajib ialah nikah dalam sesuatu perkahwinan. I think ada jer yang berbelanja berlebih-lebihan on their wedding just to impress other people. What for? Memang kahwin tu hanya sekali seumur hidup (ini secara general) but kena la beringat bahawa hidup selepas perkahwinan tu lagi nak pakai duit banyak tau. Ada jugak pasangan yang bila sebut pasal kahwin, mereka akan mengeluh tak cukup duit..kahwin banyak kena keluar duit..perkara-perkara macam ni la boleh mendorong kepada gejala maksiat dan intercourse sebelum berkahwin…renung-renungkan..

Okay enough babbling, I want to share something with you guys..I find this quote funny which I took from one of my favorite comic Archie “If money does not grow on tree, how come banks have so many branches?”

Have a nice day!

What goes around comes around...

...so kalau ada niat buat sesuatu yang tak elok or nak mengata orang lain tu baik la cancel awal-awal....

Selama hidup ni, I selalu ingatkan dekat diri sendiri yang Allah akan balas setiap tingkah-laku kita sama ada baik atau tak baik..Just bila ianya akan dibalas kita tak tahu kan..So hari ni I nampak sendiri apa yang terjadi dekat one of my colleague, I namakan dia Encik W la..

So nak di ringkaskan cerita, Encik W ni berasal dari negara I*aq...Dia ni ada satu perangai yang agak pelik di mana dia selalu cakap takbur and berlagak setiap masa..I rasa dia memang tak pernah rasa penat untuk show off every single day..I bukan nak exaggerate tapi inilah reality nya..boleh dikatakan memang ramai la my colleague yang lain agak tak suka jugak dengan perangai dia...I dah dua kali pergi job yang sama dengan dia..Dia pernah la jugak buat-buat cerita pasal I...Ohh not to forget he likes kissing manager A*sSes....Then nak di jadikan cerita job yang baru kami pergi sama-sama, dia telah melakukan kesalahan besar...boleh nak kata kesalahan yang dia buat tu boleh mengakibatkan kemungkinan dia di lay off la...Lepas kejadian tu berlaku,I macam kesian pulak tengok dia..my supervisor memang sangat marah la dekat dia..and all the crew semua memang blame dia la..memang kesian la dekat dia..tapi tu la semuanya telah terjadi..I tak tahu la apa yang akan terjadi bila dia jumpa my manager nanti...Hopefully dia tak kena lay off la..

I harap sangat lepas kejadian ni dia akan realise semua kesilapan dia and try to berubah la..kalau tak boleh berubah banyak berubah la stage by stage...Ini pon peringatan untuk I juga..

Allah Maha berkuasa..sentiasa la beringat dan berdoa supaya hidup ni diberkati oleh-Nya..

Dugaan....

Dalam hidup ni memang banyak dugaan..tipu la sesorang tu kalau die kate hidup die perfect tanpe dugaan...

Actually, come to think again dari kecik sampai la sekarang ade jer dugaan mendatang setiap hari..dugaan kecik, dugaan besar maupon dugaan yang suam-suam kuku...Tuhan datangkan dugaan untuk setiap insan bukan untuk menyeksa hambe-Nya tapi nak uji sekuat mane sesorang itu manghadapinya...wahh..saye rase insaf sedikit setelah mengeluar kate2 sebegitu..

Setiap dugaan yang datang pulak ade cabaran nyer...ingat lagi mase nak amek Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah dulu..memang banyak betul dugaan..akibat tidak belajar dengan rajin semasa darjah lima saye telah di pindahkan ke kelas kedua mase darjah enam..dolu2 kan sangat penting untuk berade di kelas yang pertame kan??so pepaham jer la kalo dah masuk ke kelas yang kedua, no offense but to be truth saye rase cikgu2 tak berape nak focus sangat kat pelajar2 kelas kedua dan ke bawah..then emak saye pon macam tak berape nak target yang saye boleh score la..sampai emak telah berkate kalo saye dapat 2A dan ke atas emak nak berpuase nazar..terase diri sangat hine ketike itu..dan semase peperiksaan berlangsung pulak ade lagi dugaan melande saye diserang demam teruk sampai muntah2..doktor meng'kategori'kan sebagai demam 'terkejut'..ade ke demam macam tu...tapi saye sahut cabaran emak dan saye kuatkan diri..akhir nya berjaye dapat lebih dari 2A malah terlebih-lebih lagi A nyer itu...emak sangat gembire sehingga mengalirkan air mate...

Mase zaman universiti lagi la banyak dugaan...dugaan exam, dugaan bercinta...dugaan fail exam...dugaan rakan ajak tengok wayang walaupon tau ujian berderet dan kertas kerje segunung tinggi nyer...kire dugaan la jugak kan...hehehe

Sekarang ni dah berkeluarga, dugaan berjauhan dengan suami dan anak..dugaan kene marah dengan supervisor..ade orang khianat kite...macam2 la..kalo nak cerita pasal dugaan hidup ni memang tak menang tangan nak menaip nyer..boleh dikatekan tanpe dugaan ni hidup memang boleh jadi boring la kan..tak adventure...yelar macam kalau tetiap ari kene makan nasi putih dengan ikan bilis mesti la boring kan..sesekali mesti la nak makan spaghetti bolognese ker..Tom yam goong yang sedap kat Thai2 ker...aaahhh....sangat membuat aku terliur...

Tapi ape yang penting "kerjasama!!"...eh tetibe...ape yang penting bagaimana kite sebagai seorang manusia ni menghadapi setiap dugaan itu..kuatkan diri dengan solat, bace al-quran, doa kepada-Nya supaya permudahkan segala urusan dan sentiase ingat setiap dugaan ade rahmat nyer..

Kembali beraksi *wink*

Hacchummm!!!aish...bersin plak..dah berabuk dah blog ni...hehehe..lame sangat tuan blog ni menyepikan diri..bukan tak nak blog lagi but been busy with anak and suami each time I come back to Malaysia..then the urge to blog again suddenly appear after bace blog2 orang yang banyak cerite2 menarik..why not I share cerite2 menarik I plak kan...rindu jugak nak berblog actually..=)

Okay, where should I start...I start with Emir la since I nampak die dulu depan mate I ni..tengah tido nyenyak in front of me..Emir has turned 11 months last 2 days..dah nak setahun dah anak Ibu...Lets see Emirs' progression so far..

- dah semakin active..memanjat and merangkak dengan full speed..
- dah pandai cakap..i mean baby language..but ade one word yang Emir cakap me and my husband faham is "NAK"..for example when I eat something he will come to me and say "Nak" sambil hulur tangan and buat muke comel..then when he refuses something he will say "aaNak"..sounds like tak nak..
- ade tande2 macam nak berjalan dah..but die still belum confident untuk stable kan badan die while he's standing alone..
- he got 4 batang gigi..2 kat belah atas and 2 kat belah bawah....so handsome when he laugh or smile nampak gigi..
- he can't call me IBU yet...my mom said baby around his age susah skit nak pronounce IBU, BONDA, UMI..according tu my mom la..takpe yang penting Emir kenal siape ibu die..take your time sweetheart..

To you all, ni summary about what I'm gonna update in the next entry..ade yg macam cerite lame but I just nak share some information la...
- Trip to Krabi
- Trip to Bangkok
- Trip to Malta
- Trip to Sabah for Hari Raya (gile lame baru nak cerite)
- Hari Raye Qurban ( sebab ade buat untuk Emir jugak)
- etc..(anything yang I think patut share kat sini..=))

Nak share skit picture terbaru Emir and tuan punye blog..hehe

See the teeth? Ade 2 kat atas and 2 kat bawah...gigi tu Emir gune untuk gigit Ibu juge..hehe
