Selamat Pengantin Baru

Last week was a very busy week for our family.Our nephew;Ash, decided to settle down with lovely Ira.They got their akad nikah on 11.11.11. and the bridegroom reception was on 20.11.2011.My parents were not around so everyone was missing them. It was a test really.Could we really handle family affairs superbly as my ever efficient mom or steady dad? Definitely the affair would be better with them around.However, we did it as we worked as a team.Looking at Ash, all I could remember the boy who all of us helped to raise and love who turns to be a good man.Congrats Ash and Ira.I wish you all the best.

The 3 L

My sister loves taking pictures so during all family occasions, we got to pose with her and have our pictures taken.Unfortunately, I rarely see the pictures taken by her and with her.Somehow the pictures taken by her are not uploaded in  Facebook. The love of posing in front of camera runs in the little girl. She loves to pose in front of the camera.I guess they are related somehow.

It is a sad day

The department lost one of our team.It is indeed a dark day for all of us. Rest in peace Ustaz Radzuan .He had always been a mentor to me in his way of fighting his illness, patience and dedication.

Birthday Gift

What do you get for a person who doesn't really like traditional cake for her birthday? The answer is fruit gift basket from najahgifts.com. I have been singing praises for this humble mega talented baker entrepreneur. She could do lovely cakes and gifts. Her fruit cake is delicious too.The birthday person is over the moon with this gift.(pictures are taken from najahgifts.com)

Happy Birthday Ly*n

Sometimes if you are lucky in this world, you will be blessed by having in your life a true friend.I am blessed as I have her as my true friend.She is my BFF.What could I write about her?Frankly, I could write a book about her.Since this is her birthday, I am going to shower her with many compliments which are sincere and true. She is a beautiful and thoughtful person.She is a genius and a great cook. She is adventurous too. She is very positive and strong .The best of all she makes me want to be a better person. Thank you Ly*n for being there for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

I heart Manila

Manila has always fascinated me since the day I learnt about Jose Rizal , Imelda Marcos and her shoes.Luckily this time I was given a chance or took a chance to be there presenting our research.I got to thank the university too for funding the trip.This time my bff was given the task to manage the trip.She did plan the trip successfully as she worked in Manila before.I had the pleasure of  looking at her face. She was happy to be back in Manila and visiting the shopping malls of Manila.The malls are really wonderful.There are so many beautiful shoes and sandals.I was in shoe paradise.

My bff made a wise decision(lets applaud for her now..clap clap clap) in flying us in MAS as if we took AirAsia, we would have to endure a very long journey to the city.The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) reminds me of our Subang Airport. We could hail a taxi at the airport but my Bff was creative in securing us the airport transfer which was not for the faint-hearted. I was amazed and impressed by her creativity. 

Apart from the mall, we decided to learn more about Manila so off we went to Intramuros which is the Spanish fort.Once upon a time The Philippines  was colonialized by the Spanish.We asked the cab driver to drop us there and took the horse-drawn carriage and took a tour which lasted 4 hours.We saw many churches and went to Casa Manila ;a Spanish house, which is a superb casa.I heart the kitchen and the garden.e went to see where Jose Rizal spent his last days.We went to Robinson Plaza where my Bff reminisced her glorious past.  

Jose Rizal Park

We went to Makati and toured the Greenbelt shopping complex.Imagine Pavillion in larger scale.

I did present my research!

Happy Anniversary , Su* & Azm*

I was there when you were courting
The engagement and the wedding I did not miss
The sacrifices and loneliness you willingly embraced of being miles apart
Now being blessed of simply being together
The cars and the furniture you accumulate I do notice
and the abundant of love and happiness of being together


happy Anniversary!

p/s I am sure someone bought a  bigger card and present!

Rainbow Cake

This year I decided I had to have rainbow cake for the birthday cake . The cake was ordered from najahbakery.com.She is really an innovative baker.The cake was really delicious.Since Ms. Moscow and I shared the same birthday,I thought it was wiser to share the same cake. Since she was far away, I had the cake to myself.Apart from the cake, I had red velvet cupcakes but I really think the rainbow cake was more delicious than the cupcakes. The older I get, the more I indulge myself.I love cakes especially great looking cakes.

Who is Opie?

Ms. Moscow, could you see the rainbow?

Sing a birthday song to Opie !

Happy Belated Birthday Ms Moscow! You know you are loved !

Something to know

I thought that today is a working day so I dressed up in my usual baju kurung and went to the campus.I found out from the guard that today is a holiday .Instead of going to the campus , I went to the supermarket .I met a few of my colleagues in their casual clothes.They were surprised to see me in my baju kurung.I learn something about myself today .I love my work !

Pondering Soul

I read about this saying a couple of weeks ago. 

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean that they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
