There's Always Something For You, Even When You Least Expect It...

Life is full of ups & downs..

You'll meet & get to know different kinds of people.. Making new friends & enemies along the way.. But only those who really know you will accept you as who you are & will always stay true to that friendship, no matter what happens..

And I do believe that there's always something behind everything.. Why certain things happened that way.. Just gotta swallow whatever that's left behind & move on with life..

To those of you & you know who you are.. Don't tryna pretend & act like you think I (or should I say, we) didn't see it coming.. Those bad things you said about us to everyone you know.. My dear, haven't you heard the saying that even "the walls have ears"? So please, we ain't that stupid nor are we blind, not being able to see, hear & feel those things that's happening around & about us..

A little advice, "Don't throw water to clean the back of others, when your own back is covered with DIRT.."

I suggest you go watch your back (plus your mouth too) before karma hits your life by surprise.. Coz remember, what goes around, eventually comes around.. Jangan nak slalu mengate, mengaib & memfitnah orang lain, diri sendiri blom tentu betol.. Pernah blaja ugame kan? Pandai2 la jawab di Akhirat nanti yer.. =)

Oh! And Salam Ma'al Hijrah to all Muslims.. A new year & a new beginning, insya'allah.. =)

In fact, something did happened recently.. There's this saying, "Kalau Allah nak berikan sesuatu, dalam ape jua keadaan skali pon, Dia tetap akan memberi.." & He did.. Another little bundle of joy, an addition to the family.. Alhamdulillah..

Everyone were asking, "But I thought you guys are on family planning, right?"

Yes, indeed.. Eversince we had Asyura.. But then again, if Allah gives you that chance to have another baby, anything can happen, even if you're on family planning.. Indeed, both hub & I, we were taken aback by surprise with the news of having a new member in our family.. Our little tumtum, another bundle of joy.. "Kaye anak.." Alhamdulillah.. =)

Alhamdulillah, a new Islamic year, a new start for us.. Insya'allah.. Amin..

Next After Pak Long's - Off To Bedok (Still In Raya Day 1)...

Woookaaaay!! A few more photos that I've uploaded via SLIDE...

This time, credits goes to Cousin Lala for some of the photos that she took with her camera... =)

My maternal Grams (Nenek Bedok) lives in Bedok (that explains her nickname la har)... As usual, we would crash over & wait till the rest of my relatives from the maternal side came over for the Raya visit...

Nenek Bedok is the only surviving Grams that I have... So yup... Satu2 nyer Nenek yang masih hidop... May Allah take good care of her for me... Amin...

Surprisingly this year, hubby & I (with our kids la har) were the 1st ones to arrive there & nenek was with Cousin Shakeir @ home... We chit chat for a while until, slowly, one by one of them; uncles, aunties & cousins came...

We decided to chill downstairs at the nearby fitness corner... Sesunggoh nyer, Nenek's crib would be very crampy when everyone of us came over for a gathering... So disebabkan tu la, hubby & I, we prefer to "ambel angen" kat bawah...

Next After In-Laws - Pak Long's (Still In Raya Day 1)...

Next stop after visiting in-laws was to Pak Long's crib... So OK, Pak Long is my dad's eldest brother...

Eversince my paternal grams passed away, he's crib would be the 1st one we visited during Hari Raya...

Cousin Sharani was one of the cousins whom I'm very closed with from the paternal side of the family... She's the same age as me... We used to hang out together during our teenage years... Shared bitter, sweet & funny memories together... =)

One of the funniest moments that I couldn't forget was when we both went to the wrong toilet @ the old Kallang Stadium... Kitorang gi masok tandas lelaki la sei... And the best part (OK, right now I'm laughing my ass off while typing this), Sharani went in 1st (while I was right behind her) like nobody business (thinking that it's the ladies toilet) coz she obviously wanna go pee (membe da tak bole tahan) & she saw a few men doing their thing... ahahahahahaha!! Bloody hell!! We both rushed out from the toilet sia!! I still could remember the look on her face - innocent & blur plus kancong spider face... Classic sia... ahahahahaha!! Eh!! Cannot blame us you know, there's know indication whether it's the Gents or Ladies toilet... lol...

Till now, although we both are pretty much busy with our own lives, I'm glad that we still keep in touch... I remember her, & she remembers me...

We shared the same similarities - being the only daughter in our family... That's why, you could say, I'm pretty close with her... [To Sharani: Eh minah!! Aku sayang kau, kau tahu tak? No matter what decisions you make or wherever you go, you'll always have meeeee... Saaaaayang kau!!]

Hari Raya (Day 1).... - Slide No. 1

So, I divided & uploaded all my Raya photos according to the houses that we visited... Too many photos (just during the 1st day only)...

Credit goes to my Sis in-law (Muz) for some of the photos that I've uploaded via SLIDE... =)

We happened to wear the same colour baju... hee hee... But hers was far more in glamorous gold... [Moteh! Kau da mcm Saloma, kau tahu tak? hee hee...]

The above photos were taken when we went visiting our in-laws...
