Playing badminton is actually fun!

Recently, my husband kemaruk main badminton. Siap beli racket baru. Baguslah kan. Sebagai isteri yang solehah patuh pada suaminya, aku pon join lah sekali. Ada orang tu dah belikan racket untuk kita, kita main lah kan. Takkan nak simpan racket tu buat perhiasan pulak.

My husband said, he wants this thing become a ritual. Every Friday night, main badminton. Well, we'll see how it goes. Jangan awal² ni jer bersemangat lebih.

Yang bestnya, hobi baru husband ni jugak mendapat sambutan hangat dari member² beliau. Ramai jugak turun last Friday main badminton sama² we all. Meriah sikit bila main badminton ramai² ni. Geng JSA pon ada jugak. Boleh bersenam buang² lemak² terkumpul ni kan? Hehe.

Last week, we booked the court for only 2 hours. Tu pon dah tercungap² aku main. Sejak kerja ni aku memang jarang giler bersukan. Well, dekat Nigeria pon aku main tennis bila aku ada dekat camp jer. Kalau aku pergi offshore, tak dapat nak la nak main tennis. Dekat rumah ni ada jugak racket tennis tapi...ermm..cam biasa la sakit malas aku ni menjadi². So bila my husband dah semangat nak main badminton ni, aku pon boleh lah beriadah sekali.

Gaya jer lebih. Tapi shuttle cock tu asyik tak kena racket aku jer. Ker aku yang tak reti main badminton?

Pasangan regu paling mantap seantero dunia. Enough said.

Mereka² yang berada di tempat kejadian.

Kerajaan asyiklah kempen 'Majulah sukan untuk Negara'. Tapi as a Malaysian citizen korang sokong tak kempen tu? For me, it is not only for the country, it is also for yourself!

Aktiviti membuat cookies beramai2

Even thou raya dah lama habis, I tetap nak update entry ni..

So before raya lepas, my friend Alin, nak merasmikan oven baru beliau...Turut join on that day, Tshee, Keynote, Sara and Ijan..Mereka² ni semua wife kepada my husband's ex-schoolmates..sebab we all selalu jumpa and rumah pon dekat² jer..Jadinya kami sangat close to each other...Mula² tu we all cadang nak buat kek sebab senang sikit and tak complicated sangat kan..Almaklum la masing² pon baru² nak cuba..tapi sebab nak dekat raya so finally we decided to try buat kuih raya..

When we decided to make kuih raya, we actually takde idea pon nak buat kuih apa..Luckily, Tshee's mom selalu ambik tempahan buat kuih raya and mak dia jugak bukak kelas untuk sesiapa yang nak belajar buat kek, kuih and memasak..Kira memang expert la buat kuih raya..So kami pon mintak recipe buat kuih raya from her...

Proses membeli barang² buat kuih semua kami buat a day before nak buat kuih..Siap beli mixer baru uuuu..semangat kan nak buat kuih raya yang pada masa tu tak tahu akan jadi kuih or jadi karipap..=)..takpe yang penting semangat tu ada kan..

Ni lah oven baru yang kami rasmikan tu..=)

Alin invested on this new mixer..Sangat berjasa mixer ni..next year boleh pakai lagi..

Geng suami² kami actually agak ragu² dengan niat kami nak buat kuih ni tau..Tapi kami sahut cabaran tu..Kami cakap you all tunggu jer la end product nanti..sure kalau makan nak lagi punya...confident giler cakap kat suami² camtu tapi dalam hati "matilah kalau kuih tak jadi"...=P

Tshee..

Alin..the owner of the new oven..Oven mu sangat berjasa..
Geng ibu mengandung gigih membuat sukatan

Emir helped us too!!

Initially we all nak buat satu jenis kuih jer, tapi disebabkan bahan² kami beli terlebih, jadinya kami buat TIGA jenis kuih!! Yup you heard me right..tiga jenis kuih yer..dua jenis kami buat pada hari yang sama..then sejenis lagi kami continued besok nya..

Sambil² uli tu kami hangatkan suasana dengan gossip² terkini..

Okay..masa ni sangat berdebar okay..This was the first batch..kami risau kuih jadi keras..tapi tidak yer..Kuih yang terhasil sangat lembut dan enak dimakan begitu saja..hikhik

First kuih raya yang terhasil..

Kuih raya kedua..Kuih ni ada rasa coffee sikit..The third one I lupa nak snap gambar..
The end product..So masing² dapat la bawak balik 3 balang kuih..I letak kuih raya ni dekat rumah my mom..bertahan sampai seminggu raya jer..lepas tu I nak makan tengok² dah habis..Maknanya sedap la kan??? Ehhh perasan lah ko ni..=P

I did have fun buat kuih raya dengan mereka² ini..sambil buat kuih sambil gossip..Memang sangat² meriah lagi² dengan kehadiran anak² kami..hopefully next year kita dapat arrange lagi aktiviti macam ni..baru la suami sayang lebih kan??

Libya "Malaysian Mafia" get together

Before I balik Nigeria the other day, I managed to organize small get together with my friend who used to work with me in Libya..In conjunction with that we also wanted to farewell Nurul who will follow her husband to US and tak tau lagi biler boleh jumpa..Plus I wanna meet her cute little angel Aiyu Isabella..

Because it was a last minute call, there's only few of us who showed up...the rest tak boleh join sebab kerja and takde kat Malaysia (sorry guys, I promise I will arrange one get together next time InsyaAllah)...I pulak on that day konon² nya jadi single sekejap sebab my husband kerja and I left Emir at my mom's..Bagi chance kat Ibu nak bergossip bersama rakan-rakan..hikhikhik

Apart of "Malaysian Mafia" Legend...From left Amir, Nurul, Colby, Nasa, Farah...missing in picture is me (obviously because I snapped this picture), Ochee+Ayu, Abuyazid, Alhafiz

We met at Chilli's KLCC, since Amir had only 2 hours lunch break so I needed to find place which closes to his work place..Dia actually kena assign dekat Bintulu but for the moment until he gets his work permit he stays in KL office..He used to work with the same company with me and Nurul..Nurul pulak dah jadi housewife hot mama sekarang..Nasa pulak sekarang ni attached to Algeria but during that time dia tengah days off..He brought his wife Farah and his daughter Aisha yang sangat comellsss!! The one who is missing is Abu Yazid, Ochee + Ayu, Alhafiz and our godmother Kak Faizah + family...We used to call our selves "Malaysian Mafia" masa kerja kat Libya dulu..memang sangat rapat dengan dieorang..berkongsi susah senang makan meggi sesame masa dekat sana..Kalau takde mereka² ini, I rasa mesti bosan giler hidup dekat Libya..

Kawan makan meggi sama² kat tengah² desert, Nurul and my non-biological twin, Amir..Amir ade biological twin named Amar who is also my non-biological twin..hahaha..alamak double chin yang tak dapat ku nak sorok..balik Malaysia sure berat naik..blame all the good foods I ate..=P

Nurul's my husband-is-American, Colby and their cute daughter Aiyu Isabella..best kan nama tu?? boleh isi form buat menantu tak? Abang Emir masih available lagi tau..hehehe

Cik Puan Nurul kita..Masa kat Libya I selalu mengadu nasib kat dia ni lah..I miss those days..

Amir..ni pon kawan yang setia mendengar rintihan susah senang I masa kat Libya..

Farah (Wife Nasa)..Aisha menikmati panorama kat luar..

Foods we ordered..yummy!!

Memang tersangat puas hati dapat jumpa mereka² ini..Lama giler borak and I berjaya menghasut Amir supaya extend curi tulang lunch break dia..ala tak lama pon another one hour jer..Next time Puan Nurul balik Malaysia kita boleh arrange lagi lunch date camni eh! Hopefully next time semua boleh datang...

Baby Mya in the house!

Last night I visited one of my friend Azie yang baru delivered a baby girl at KPJ Shah Alam... I memang suka tengok baby ni especially bila dapat cium bau baby..memang priceless betul..Rindu nak bau baby lagi...

Okay back to story, so semalam I've got a call from Keynote asking whether I want to go visit Azie ke tak..Of course la nak!! Lepas dah mintak izin encik suamiku..malam tu kami pon pergi la..together with us is Alin..Actually tak berapa familiar dengan jalan dekat Shah Alam but awal-awal dah mintak bantuan Encik Suamiku setkan map dalam phone and Keynote pon siap bawak GPS dalam kereta so memang easy to find the way la..

Seronok bila pergi dengan geng-geng perempuan ni sebab banyak hot story yang boleh dikongsikan bersama..so along the way memang berborak jer..sebab theme malam ni nak pergi visit baby so memang our topic perbincangan ialah mengenai baby and pregnancy..FYI, Keynote and Alin pon sedang pregnant so memang in la topic kami pada malam itu yer...hehehe

Eh dah melalut-lalut pulak ni...back to Baby Mya Myiesha..Wahh sedap betul nama..easy to remember and senang nak menyebut nya..Baby Mya was delivered on 13th April 2010 at 0008 am..Baby Mya memang puntual..EDD (Expected Due Date) Mommy Mya was actually on 12th April 2010 but baby nak duduk lama sikit dalam perut mommy dia..hehehe..

Let's see how Mya Myiesha bergaya depan camera....

Introducing to you Baby Mya Myiesha!
Welcome to the world baby!

Mya and Mommy

Sedapnya baby Mya tidur kat situ..She feels warmth and comfortable..

Mya with Aunty Alin, Aunty Mira and Aunty Keynote

Comel nya Mya's feet!!

Congratulations Azie and husband!! Welcome to parenthood..

Visiting the twins!

Yesterday I've got an early message in the morning from one of my colleague..

"Alhamdulillah Ayu selamat melahirkan twins kami"

I was still in bed and I feel like I wanna jump and get ready to see the twins..hehe..I've been waiting so long to finally meet them!!..

Congratulations to Ayu and Ochee..I am so happy for both of you!

The happy new parents!!

Ochee was working in the company with me and he was assigned and still working in Libya..So basically we met in Libya not in Malaysia..Ohh yaa..Ochee ni Malaysian la..and he brought his wife to Libya too..So when I was in Libya I was quite close to them and always went to their house to get together with other Malaysian..and I know how hard Ayu was facing in early pregnancy stage when she was abroad..I mean walaupon her husband was with her all the time but sometimes I can see that she also needed her mom to be with her...to share the pregnancy story or sharing experiences...Plus I know how Libya's environment was treating her..Early pregnancy was the toughest time and I salute her that she went through it with patience..

Then today after I done with my facial, I went back home and get ready to go to the hospital..When we arrived Ayu was breastfeeding one of the twins and I was asking where is another one..So sad to hear that the other twins is still under observation because of low heart beat..I hope she will be okay anytime soon..my prayers is always with her..Sempat jugak tengok dia but tak boleh nak hold her and we all tengok dekat cermin jer..So cute!!

Emir was so excited to meet the baby..and each time he saw me hold the baby he will come close to me and showing his amaze-expression kind of face sambil cakap "eeiiiiiii" pointing at the baby...I don't know whether he understand that the baby that I'm holding is human being or toys..hehe..

I managed to take some pictures..

Let's meet Aleeya Adriana and Aleeya Amani..What a nice name..love it!

Hi!! my name is Aleeya Adriana...

Hi!! I am Aleeya Amani!!

Adriana: Aunty mira pegang saya kuat2 tau!
Aunty Mira: Don't worry aunty dah dilatih..Abang Emir dulu 3.4 kg tu aunty steady jer dukung..hehe

"Tuuuu..." said Emir pointing at the baby...



Emir yang dah tawaf ward bersalin berape kali pon ibu tak tau then masuk kereta terus doze off...

Rindu nya masa Emir baru lahir dulu...wangi bau baby tu memang priceless la..ni yang tak sabar ni nak ada our "second"...Encik suamiku......

Visiting In-Laws

We just came back from Sungai Petani yesterday night..This time trip to SP seemed so quick and took us only 45 minutes...hehe sebab we all naik flight..at first my husband nak drive balik SP but suddenly changed his mind bila hubby dah calculate cost naik kereta and naik flight to SP lebih kurang sama..Actually bagus jugak naik flight sebab on Saturday tu my hubby was a bit tired after he was helping his officemate pindah kan barang-barang from office lama masuk office baru..One more thing advantage naik flight ni sebab Emir Faiz memang cepat sikit tidur and less cranky..Almaklum la anak bujang I tu dah besar so dia tak nak sangat duduk atas baby seat kalau naik kereta and kesudahannya dia duduk dengan ibu...

One thing I suka balik SP apart of visiting my in-laws is because of FOODssss!! Siapa yang tak suka makan sedap kan?? Eh ke I jer yang suka?? Hehe..Dekat SP memang banyak sangat tempat makan yang best-best..and the best part is good food comes with reasonable price..I LIKE!! Paling rasa worth it-nya balik SP bila dapat makan laksa dekat warung-belakang-CS..I don't know nama makcik jual laksa tu so I think that's the best way to describe nama warung dia...Kalau di lihat condition warung tu memang tak expect langsung la ada makanan sedap dekat situ sebab warung tu tersangat la sempoi...tapi bila dah makan mesti mahu lagi!! Sampai my hubby pon kata memang berbaloi balik SP lepas makan laksa makcik ni..ditambah pula dengan cendol pulut dia yang mengancam..perghh meleleh air liur den ni haaa....bukan orang melayu jer yang makan dekat situ tapi orang cina pon singgah sekali...memang terbaik la...

Second day pulak, awal-awal pagi dah bangun and after breakfast we all pergi Village Mall sebab ada PC Fair dekat situ..But PC Fair tersangat la kecik and sekali pusing jer dah cover semua booth..beli thumb-drive jer dekat situ and sempat la tengok SLR idaman kalbu I Canon 7D..bila la I nak memiliki nya...sabar mira banyak lagi benda yang lebih priority...tapi tu la masalah nya bila dah kumpul duit mesti ada model baru yang menggoda I tau...I hate this kind of feeling....

Then sebelah petangnya pulak kami ke Penang sebab nak hantar my BIL balik asrama..sempat la pujuk my hubby pergi Queensbay Mall sebab mak orang ni belum pergi lagi...It is just another mall la nothing special..dalam pada "nothing special" tu jugak sempat jer I shopping sakan dekat Forever 21 bila keluar kedai my husband dah geleng kepala..Sorry hubby shopping is in my blood!..boleh gitu...hehehe..That night we all dinner dekat Radix Chinese Oriental Cuisine...It is a restaurant which offer chinese food but this one is the HALAL one..memang sedap..we ordered Siakap masak nyonya, Chicken with mango salad, Tomyam Campur, Fried Bean curd (my favorite!) and Fried Mix-Vege...memang boleh bagi 2 thumbs-Up la!

On the third day just spend masa dekat rumah and that night we flew back to KL the hectic city..Me and my husband dah plan on becoming cuti sekolah nak balik SP lagi and thinking of bawak adik-adik pergi mandi-manda dekat Bukit Mera..anyone who already went to Bukit Merah you are welcome to give any comment about that place eh!

Thank You for reading!

Second and more to come!

Happy Anniversary to us!!

Alhamdulillah dalam sedar tak sedar dah 2 years kami melayar bahtera sebagai sepasang suami isteri dan Alhamdulillah kami dikurniakan seorang cahayamata, Emir Faiz..Sepanjang 2 tahun ni macam-macam la berlaku and Alhamdulillah kami berdua hadapi sama-sama...

I hope there will be more anniversary to come..InsyaAllah...doakan kami jugak..

To my husband, I will be always LOVE you..Luqman Hakeem

Kami tak rancang any candle light dinner or celebration pon but petang tadi my husband call ajak keluar makan sama-sama..makan special sikit la..and Emir pon join us..We headed to One Utama and makan dekat Good Evening Bangkok...Kalau siapa-siapa yang pernah makan dekat Thai Thai Sunway Pyramid, restaurant ni pon lebih kurang sama la sebab tokey orang yang sama..Just ada one or two menu yang lain sikit..macam Rambutan Salad dekat Thai Thai takde but dekat sini ada...We ordered Tom Yam Goong, Sweet Sour Garoupa and Pineapple Rice..Tom Yam dekat sini memang macam dekat Bangkok la...I can compare this because I've been there..Pineapple Rice pon sedap sangat!!

Environment inside the restaurant

Emir Faiz yang sibuk mengacau nasi dalam pinggan dia..

Delicious Sweet and Sour Garoupa

Sorry for a bad quality picture (took by my Iphone)..

Then after that, my sister called and asked us to stay because she and her husband want to meet budak bucuk Emir Faiz..While waiting kami pon jalan-jalan..

Ooohh ya masa kami berjalan-jalan tu jugak, we saw this shop "Bargain Shop"..Kedai ni macam Warehouse sale la and for certain date ada shop lain (macam Watson, Guardian, Hinode) yang akan participate or in other words they will put their discounted items in this shop..memang murah la but barang-barang yang ada on that day tak la menarik hatiku ini..


Happy reading!

Unintentional Outing with BFF(s)

I really had a long day today..early in the morning Emir woke me up with one bite on my cheek..Pagi2 dah kacau Ibu tido budak kecik ni..I had no choice but to wake up because I smelt something not nice and had to bring Emir straight to the toilet..(I guess you guys know what I mean)..=)

Actually reason untuk keluar hari ini was to go to company office in Menara Rohas Perkasa untuk endorsekan document then lunch and balik (ni reason I bagi kat encik untuk suami untuk keluar) but plan changed suddenly after my BFF sent SMS to me saying that "Mira..aku mimpi pasal Emir smalam..ko kat maner?"..I terus straight away called her..Then I was thinking why not I ask her out since I pon dah lame tak jumpe die..Oohh..BTW her name's Nana..

Off we go to Rohas Perkasa..sempat la jumpe my colleagues yang keje kat situ..had chit-chat a little bit then terus pegi fetch Nana dekat umah die..Nana ni my BFF sejak sekolah rendah lagi..We all sangat rapat since then and our family house pon satu taman jer...kire nyer rumah Nana tu dah jadi macam my second house la...selalu jer buat muke tak malu pegi lunch kat rumah die..hehe..I miss those time..

Okay dah melalut2 plak ni..nak cerite lain pegi cerite lain plak..Back to our topic..First plan nak pegi KLCC then Nana cakap die dah naik muak pegi KLCC (sebab she did intership dengan Petronas) and we changed our route to One Utama since I pon dah lame tak pegi saner..Sampai2 jer we all tengok sangat banyak kereta..I pon pelik..dah la weekday then tengahari pulak tu, dieorang ni tak kerja ker?? Then I teringat pulak yang malam ni Christmas Eve..orang take half day arini...No wonder la ramai giler orang..Pusing nak mencari parking jer took almost 45 minutes..Tension giler!! Last2 I dah geram I parking jer depan kereta orang then I put my phone number so that owner kereta berkenaan will call me kalau die nak keluar...but in the same time I prayed that die tak call I sampai I nak balik...hehe..memang betul pon die tak call..shopping sakan la tu..


Sebab kami semua tak lunch lagi and mase on the way nak masuk parking nampak advertisment TGI Friday yang sangat besar dan menggoda jadi harus la ke TGI untuk memenuhi selere biawak kami..hehe..masih terase kesedapan Mac and Cheese..sedap nyer!!


While we were eating Nana got a msg from my other BFF Nisa yang nak join we all skali..bagus juge dapat jumpe Nisa si tilam Vono Emir..hehe..Emir memang suke kat Nisa..After penat meronde2 and had a second round makan2 session kat Kluang station we all pon balik..dalam sibuk berjalan window shopping tu sempat jugak la meng'grab' kasut crocs yang sangat super comfy and very worth buying..
