Outdated Hari Raya 2009 Photos... (SLIDE 1)

As Salam Peepz!!

At last, I managed to dig in some time to upload all my outdated Hari Raya 2009 photos... Foooooh!! Memang outdated giler...

Alhamdulillah, all photos had been extracted and transferred out with the help of my cousin Sufi (Thanks Chupi!! Nanti Kakak blanje kau makan k... hee hee...)...

Sesunggohnye, membuat keje sebegini ade la menyiksa dan membuang mase, tetapi, adek sedare aku, Chupi tetap jugak sabar melayan karenah digicam lame aku dan juge kakak sedare nye yg paling diye sayang... lol...

I'll be uploading all the balance photos in different SLIDES and according to the the number of houses that we went to in a day...

So brace yourselves for SLIDE 1...

1st day of Hari Raya was spent visiting my parents in-law who're staying in the same block as us, Pak Long who's staying a few blocks aways from us, Grams @ Bedok and then we proceeded to arwah Wak Mi's crib just a few blocks away... Last kopek was my Aunt Mama Yang's new crib in Yishun...

P/S: Sbenarnye aku ni mcm tk de guts la nk upload gamba Raye ni sume... Tringatkan arwah Pak Cik ku... Takes me lotsa courage and so many days or should I say weeks to make a decision in uploading all the remaining Hari Raya photos... Last memories spent with Wak Mi adelah time Raye... So yeah... Emo skejap ler...

Our Trip To Singapore Flyer...

As Salam Peepz!!

OMG!! I was soooooo freaking excited when my Sis in-law, Muz managed to get us cheaper tickets to the Singapore Flyer...

Aku ape lagi la, persuaded the hubby to go and bring our babies along... (Thanks Sis!! Huwaaaaargh!! Aku sunggoh terharu dan happy sangat2 bile kau dapat jugak beli kan kitorang ticket tu dengan harge yg murah giler...)

So on November 7th, we fetched Mr & Mrs Rostam Afandi and headed straight to the Singapore Flyer!! Woo hoo!! Susah wo nak dapat ticket murah... Alhamdulillah dapat jugak kitorang naik bende ala yang tinggi nak mampos tu...

Frankly, takot tu takot jugak la... But nak naik punye pasal, takot pon aku letak tepi la... lol....

Weekend Spent Over At 3rd Bro-In-Law's Crib...

As Salam Peepz...

It's been a while since I last blogged... Life has been so monotonous... Work in the office has been pretty hectic, boring and DULL at the same time... My mini little family is what that keeps me going, not forgetting that there are still some of you out there who still cares for the well-being of my family and me... "Thank you people... You know who you are.... Aku saaaaaayang korang banyak2... Hanye Allah s.w.t saje yang akan membalas budi baik korang... Insya'allah... Amin..."

Lately, my life's been pretty overwhelmed with sadness... The biggest blow for me ever was the part when my beloved uncle, Wak Mi, passed away recently... He left us all too soon and suddenly... I was so devastated by his death... I still miss him...

Another few stacked-up memories... Good ones are nice to keep... But the bad and sad ones are those that I dislike to be kept piled up...

There's this saying, "Wounds would eventually heal, but the scars would always be there...".

Another sad thing was when I found out that those who're close to me were actually just "acting, creating a show, pretending" that they were fine having us with them... It was such a disappointment to hear that our presence (my hubby, babies and I) are not 100% welcome in their lives... It's like WE are a burden to them... To top it all off, they've been showing shit-ass faces towards us... I mean, ye la... Kalau tak suke, cakap la tak suke... Cakap depan2... Jangan nak step buang muke and kutok blakang... Dengan anak2 aku pon dorang step buang muke, mcm nak tak nak layan... We can leave and not bother about you guys... The "mangkok shit-ass faces" aren't necessary... Aku rase mangkok kat DAISO tu lagi laku...

Funny thing how our $$$ doesn't look like a burden to them and accepting our $$$ makes them feel a LITTLE BIT at ease (a little bit eh... baik perrrrr...)... Tak bersyukor... Itupon kadang2 family aku kena kate jugak... Money not enough la, too little la... bla bla bla... Whatever la... Lumrah sesetengah manusia... Mereka lebih suka pada status dan duit sebab to them, MONEY & STATUS IS EVERYTHING!!

I've heard and seen enough nonsense and crap already... It's only lately that all these nonsense and crap had taken its toll on us... It's already at its PEAK... We couldn't take it any longer... Aku sedih sangat2 mengenangkan naseb kluarge ku, especially my 2 little children... They know nuts about what's going on around them... All those critisms, the gossips, the backstabbings, the backbitings that their Ummi and Baba are facing... Depan muke lain, blakang muke lain... Aku sedih sangat2... Tahon ni banyak kisah sedih dalam hidop ku... I thank Allah s.w.t for giving me my husband... I can't imagine how would I cope with all these problems without having him... Walaupon perit untok aku telan, aku tetap akan tabah menghadapi nye... Insya'allah... Amin...

I think by the end of year 2009, I probably would have cried gallons of tears...

I guess it's time for us to make a change soon... Tukar angen... It's for the best... I guess... You guys keep a lookout on our "coming soon" changes ya... Pray for me and my family... Insya'allah, I hope it's for the best... Amin...

So recently last weekend, I spent the night over at 3rd bro-in-law's crib in Sengkang together with my babies... Ade makne nye aku anak branak tido lepak satu malam kat sane... Hubby and his 3rd bro went on a 1 day trip to Melaka... So since my 3rd sis-in-law's (Muz) all alone at home, I offered to spend the night there with her while both of our hubbies went to Malaysia... Woo hoo!!

Memang kecoh la kat ruma tu... We chit chat till late nights, laughed like crazy over funny things, went to the "Pasar Malam" (Night Market) although we knew that the weather was still drizzling that Saturday night... lol... Pegi tetap pegi!! Orang pompuan ni... Kite pantang kalau nampak ade pasar malam, hutan tebal pon sanggop kite redah pakai parang... lol...

The next morning, Mummy Muz and Ummi Lily together with their 2 little junior sidekicks went to have breakfast at KFC Compass Point (Wei Sis Muz!! Compass Point ke Compass Vale ah?? Aku not sure tau... Aku asal bole pok jer ni... lol...) Actually kitorang nak gi sarapan kat McDonald's but the place was so crowded so no choice lor, KFC was our last resort... hee hee...

After that was grocery shopping at Cold Storage Supermarket... I tell you, both of my toddlers... Wah seh... Dorang nye prangai... Foooh!! Really testing my patience tahap "guruh and lightning"... They (Asil & Asyura) couldn't sit still... They would surely wanna get their hands on every piece of toy that they bumped into... Both fighting for the same piece of toy... They'll wail, scream and cry, I tell you!! Aku macam planning nak pakai muffler jer lain kali dorang buat prangai macam tu... Naseb baik la Mak Uteh (Sis Muz) dorang bole jugak endure their screamings and nakal-ness... (Thanks Sis for helping me out with the 2 kids... Kalau kau nak tahu, mcm tu ler aku kalau klua dengan dorang... Imagine me handling them alone without hubby... lol...)

So we went home and prepared lunch before our hubbies return... The menus for lunch were, Spicy Lemon Chicken, Stir Fried Cabbage and Fried Eggs... Alhamdulillah, sume masakkan yang kitorang masak success2 belake... Ahahahaha!! It was fun cooking with my Sis Muz... Kecoh!! Banyak ketawe!! Ahahahaha!!

Suami kitorang balek jer tros complain lapar... (Lerrrr... Kitorang da tahu pon dorang balek ni confirm lapar giler...) We received thumbs up from them la coz the food was great... Huwaaaaargh!! Suke tau bile suami kitorang puji ber-bakol2... WIFE POWER!! Yeah baby!!

The best part was when both the brothers slept like a pair of log after lunch.... Ahahahahha!! Ni part kecoh!! Aku rase kan, kalau bomb meletop pon dorang tk bangon... Both were way far in "Dream Land..." I did managed to take a few pictures of their sleeping poses... lol...

OK, SLIDE uploaded above...

P/S: I'm trying to stay strong and endure for the sake of my family... Smile though your heart is aching Ummi... =) I hope this future change would do us good... Insya'allah, amin... =)

I'm gonna miss him and his jokes..." Taken in 2007...
Whenever my cousin Lala & I met on a family gathering, we sure had loads of stuffs to talk... And there's always these 2 uncles of ours (Wak Mi & Wak Wit) who would scurriedly came towards us and eavesdropping, listening and teasing to whatever conversation we spoke about... Taken in 2007...

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEAREST MOST LOVABLE UNCLE

MOHD SUHAIMI BIN ISMAIL
August 12th, 1966 - October 17th, 2009
[28 Syawal 1430]


Your words, I will always treasure... Your love, I will always cherish... And my promise made to you, I will always keep... We'll see each other in Jannah... Insya'allah... Amin... You will always be in my prayers no matter where I may be... Lily saaaaaayang Wak Mi... :'(

No more you to tease me, calling me, "Achee"... No more that dimple smiles of yours... No more jokes to cheer up our day... No more you to greet us infront of your front gate whenever you knew we were gonna come to visit you... No more you... I will definitely miss everything... I will definitely miss you...

Al Fatihah To My Dear Uncle, Wak Mi...

As Salam Peepz...

Today's one of the saddest day of my life... I've lost one of those people whom I love so dearly... My uncle, Wak Mi (one of mom's youngest siblings)... My feelings? So many mixed emotions... Devastated, sad, hard to believe and still in a state of shock with question marks on my mind... Of all people, why him?

I was awaken this morning by mom who was screaming her voice out and was knocking frantically on my bedroom door saying, "Kaaaaak!! Bangon Kak!!"

So I opened the door (still in a sleepy daze) and caught mom crying, saying, "Wak Mi kau da tak de lagi Kak... Wak Mi, adek Mama da meninggal..."

Seriously, I was like in a state of distress plus shock upon hearing the news... I just breakdown... Cried... Didn't expect this coming... Not at all... Hubby too was in a daze... He managed to console me but being the 'emo' me, I couldn't really control this freaking tears coming out of me...

I love my Wak Mi... He was there when I ran away from home a few years back during my teenage years... He and his wife... They were always there to hear my problems and giving me advises... They were always there to support whatever decisions that I made in life... They were just some of those people who agrees with the man whom I chose to marry and be with... When people looked down upon my future husband (who is now my hubby), they were the ones who had given us the courage to pull thru and not bother about what others might say about us... Even till now...

And so, when the sad news came right infront of me saying that my uncle had passed away in the morning of today, I was totally devastated... I am devastated... Only Allah knows how I'm feeling right now... Knowing that one of those whom I love so dearly had left us all for good... He left behind a very good wife (Cik Tonah) who's now pregnant with his 3rd child, a daughter (Cousin Sutinah) and a son (Cousin Suhaidi)...

I now wonder how are they all gonna live; each without a husband and a father... I hope Allah gives them the courage to stay strong facing the people of this world and whatever future obstacles that might come along the way... Insya'allah... Amin...

We rushed to the Changi General Hospital just now but was too late to see Wak Mi's body... His body had already been sent over to the Singapore General Hospital for an autopsy... The situation in the hospital was a complete silent... All of my family members were there... Each with their own mixed emotions, sitting down moaning on the death of Wak Mi...

Right now, I'm at one of my aunt's (Mama Poi) home in Tampines... Chilled here for a while before all of us make our move to Wak Mi's home in Bedok for a little visit... I just wanna see my Cik Tonah and her children...

Can't really express how I'm feeling right now but I really need to let it out in this blog of mine... It's like a part of me had been torn apart to pieces... Of all people why him?

I Got Me A New Digital Camera... Woo Hoo!!

As Salam Peepz!!

How's everyone getting on? I hope your life has been beautiful and peaceful lately... =)

You know, in my previous blog entry I spoke about how my NIKON DigiCam went all faulty thanks to my little girl's "extra ordinary helpful" little fingers... hee hee... And now, thanks to her again [Trime kaseh wahai anak ku!!], I got me a new DigiCam!! Woo hoo!! Olympus FE46 (Light Blue)...

We bought it at Challenger, Jurong IMM for $198/-... The DigiCam comes with a 4GB Micro SD, a Tripod Stand, a Camera Case and a Screen Protector... What's more, it's a 12 Megapixel Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and a 2.7 inch LCD Screen... It's so worth it and I was so tempted by it that I couldn't resist the offer!! And since the hubby had given me the "green light" to proceed in purchasing it, aku apelagi, beli la...

Thanks Baba for your kind understanding... hee hee... Digital Camera is one of the gadgets that I can't live without...

Here's the photos that I took using my Olympus DigiCam while shopping at Jurong IMM with my family... Foooh!! Bile da beli tros pakai la sei... Cek tak sabo2 menunggu... hee hee...

P/S: How I wish that my babies would remain as they are now... Innocently sweet and cute little toddlers... They'll soon grow up into teenagers and that's where the real challenge begins for us, parents... Contoh mmg da banyak ade... In fact, we, parents had been to that stage before as teens... Hope we'll pull it thru, both hubby and I... Insya'allah, amin...

My 1st of Syawal... (I'm Baaaaaack!!)

As Salam Peepz!!

How's everyone getting on amidst this Hari Raya celebration? Sronok dpt jumpe sedare-mare dan sahabat-handai? Going from one house to another, for sure gerek kan dpt berkumpol ramai2?

Hari Raya for me was pretty much OK, alhamdulillah... There were a few good news that I heard while catching up on all those lost times with the relatives, and sadly, there were also a few unhappy ones (that had really touched my heart)... [To all of you, you know who you are: May Allah s.w.t shines His Grace and Mercy upon you. May He always be by your side in times of good and bad. Insya'allah, amin...]

My 1st day of Syawal was spent by visiting my in-laws who were staying at the same block as my parents (foooh!! senang siket kalau dok satu blok... tk yah ler g jaoh2... make-up kat muke aku pon tk cepat cair by de time sampai kat ruma sedare-mare yg lain... hee hee...) From there, we made our move to my dad's eldest bro's crib (my paternal grandma had long passed away so the eldest in dad's family, Pak Long, would be the next one in line...) who's living in the same neighbourhood. Had a little chit-chat and photo taking session with the cousins there. So from Pak Long's crib in Yishun, we went visiting my maternal grandma who's staying in Bedok...

Yishun to Bedok... Alaaaaaa... Chicken mak dodol je la... Dekat jugak per... Dari hujong tanjong ke hujong tanjong... lol... In our family car, we're packed up like sardines; bro (Alep), mom, dad, little bro (Adam), babies and me while hubby drove us there... ahahahaha!! So crampy but it was fun!! The best part was, everyone of us wore RED la sei... Fooooh!! Merah nyer Mak Nyah!! Well, not totally Red la for both mom and me coz baju kitorg ade camporan colour Pink siket... hee hee...

From visiting maternal grandma, we made our next move to Wak Mi's crib (one of mom's siblings) who's staying just 3 blocks away... By then, aku rase muke aku ni da mcm melekit siket. Maklom la kan, make-up da mcm cair gitu... Nak amek gamba pon mcm tk de mood... Tapi oleh kerane my favourite Cousin (Lala) was there as well, I decided to take some photos with her and my babies... hee hee...

Last kopek was at Lala's crib. Her family had already moved in to Yishun (woohoo!! suke aku!! welcome to the neighbourhood y'all!!)... And FYI, this is their 6th house... [To Lala: Foooh!! Terror betol ah korg move house here and there... (Serangoon - Toa Payoh - Bukit Timah - Brunei Darussalam - Marsiling - Yishun) Kalau aku da pancet siol... But seriously, I prefer the latest crib; warm and cozy... Tingkat 2 pulak tu... Senang jugak aku nak dtg lepak2... Dekat gilerrrrr... Aku kayoh basikal pon da bole sampai... lol] Our first day of kunjong-mengunjong ended up till 3.30 in the morning... huwaaaaaargh!! 1st time kitorg raye sakan mcm ni... Kecoh2 Raye... ahahahaha!!

Oh oh!! Just so you know... My Nikon digicam went faulty... Langsong tk bole switch on or off!! Thanks to my lovely little girl Asyura for tampering with it (tk per la wahai anak aku... kau kasi Ummi chance mintak Baba beli digital camera yg baru... mwahahahahaha!!)... pfft... Naseb baik ler Ummi kau ni ade spare digicam... The old skool type... Canon Powershot A40... I've taken quite alot of photos but could't seem to upload it up yet due to it's "old skool" software version... Leceh betol la... tsk tsk tsk... But I did managed to upload some from the other one instead... So whatever photos I have here, it's all from the Nikon digicam aaaaaaaand...., I had also seek permission from Cousin Lala [Thanks darling!! I owe you one...] to tempek some of her Hari Raya photos in my blog... hee hee...

See how la... I'll try and get all the remaining photos uploaded as soon as possible OK... At the moment, feast your lovely eyes on this one... hee hee...

P/S: Both Cousin Lala and Cousin Sharani are still single and available... So any takers for these 2 anak dare???
