AL- FATIHAH

Last 17th September 2011 at 10am my beloved grandmother passed away in peace. Been 5 years she went through all pain and suffer I guess Allah loves her more and I'm ready to let her go so that she won't have to suffer anymore from stroke and such

When emak call me.. I dont know how to express my feeling.. I'm not crying.. not because I dont love her but I guess I am ready to hear that news anytime. We rush back to Mersing for the funeral but unfortunately I dont have chances to kiss her for the last time. Heavy rain so my brother cant speed.

We have 3 nights kenduri and for the first 2 nights Im helping my dad to cook. So 1st day was Mee Goreng Kari. Superb and delicious menu by abah until Mamat cant wait!! OMG. Alhamdulillah everything went smooth.

2nd day kenduri Abah and me cooked Ayam masak asam pedas, kacang panjang goreng and ikan tongkol goreng. Woohoo sold out. Sadly Mamat dont have chances to taste it. Too bad. Lol. 

3rd day, I cant help Abah to cook as I have to rush back KL. On my way.. slowly I felt so sad whenever I recap my memories with Atok for 27 years. She is a wonderful person that I ever met! She never let us down. She always cook yummy dishes whenever we go back Mersing to visit her and everytime school hols emak always send us back kampung. Wee...

I still remember her house. Huge hall for family. And that also place for me, Mamat and Abang play 'bowling' using slippers and ball. That is also area whereby all aunties and cousins sleep during Raya time because we dont have enough room to sleep and we call it tidur lambak!! OMG so much fun!! I miss bukit pasir in front of her house. Whenever we play, she will sit in front of the house watching us and call back when reach 6pm.

I miss a lot of thing.. Atuk always bring us to Peng Fong to buy us jajan and such. And every evening when nyonya motor came with bunch of breads, atuk will buy us roti with cream and choc rice on top. OMG! so yummy. And atuk will buy asam for herself.

I still remember her favourite food- Mee goreng and Fresh Orange. She loves keropok and Kacang tumbuk also. I am so happy when my first sewing machine I made her baju kurung Kedah with a pocket in front and she damn happy.

She move in JB with my mom since Iein start her tadika. I knew she miss her house a lot but she feel bad if she didnt help emak to taking of Iein. Here come newborn Naim as he grew up in my house too. :-) Naim is my cousin. Mamat's lil brother.

..... Atuk.. you will be missed and I miss you a lot now. I dont wanna cry so much as I know it will burden you 'there'. Thank you so much for being the best atuk ever. Thank you so much for your sacrifices for us.. Taking care of abang, me, Iein, Mamat and Naim. Thank you so much Atuk. You know I always tell you how much I love you.

Atuk.. I hope you will be place in Heaven.

Al- Fatihah.

SALAM AIDILFITRI

Selamat Hari Raya!!

Dah nak masuk Minggu ke-2  baru la berpeluang nak blog. Last I blog is right before Ramadhan. Tersangatlah busy with workload and tempahan and even dah habis raya, still busy with tempahan and now I'm working out on Izzati's dress for her sister wedding. InsyAllah I will put up her dress.

Nothing much to blog about just busy baca blog orang lain.. tapi blog sendiri bersawang.. fuh..fuh.. There's 2 blog that I llove to follow- proudduck and nisamazbar. Both are very passionate about dreams and life. I admire both of them been success in such a young age and InsyAllah one day I will success in young age too. (that's why working so hard from now)

Talking about my project's progress, very slow because I'm still working in the same time. That why flicka and Nazuin Halim don't have any new product yet. I'm still considering if I should continue with Flicka or not. Or maybe I shoud put both under same name- Nazuin Halim. It never easy to rebranding anyway.

Lately I'm crazy about shopping online. actually nak kata takde masa langsung nak shopping tak jugak. Even during off day pun busy menjahit (sorry Sara.. mummy lama tak hang out dengan Sara). So jalan terbaik ialah- shopping online. There's few online shopping that I suggest such as Winkstick, Fashion Valet and ThePopLook (tu pun baru tau dari blog Hanis Zalika ) Izzati- the person who I working on her dress now is just 20y.o and she's the owner of Winkstick that she shared with her sisters and the best part- the mom is the admin. Best gila ok! Kalau whole family sepakat... InsyAllah berjaya.  Check it out guys!

But somehow, shopping online ni ada la best dan tak bestnya.. When what we expect doesn't reach our expectation.. kenalah redha sebab u cant even try, yoou cant even checked so everything is you take your own risk. And so do I. I wasn't happy but I have to understand the terms of online shopping.

OK, I guess thats all for now because i got work to do. Till we meet again.

Hugs

BE INDEPENDENT

Wife   : OMG! Look.. Cantiknya shawl ni

Hubby: Berapa harga? ( without looking  ok!!)

Wife   : RM1xxx

Hubby: Tak payah la.. jom..I lapar la

Terus keluar tarik tangan isteri and the wife terkulat- kulat je jalan sambil sempat jeling shawl yang dia dah lama eye-ing.

Sound bad? No actually. Infact the couple came in and dress up in a proper manner. Ralph Lauren t-shirt, kasut Gucci and even the wife herself carry a casual Louis Vuitton bag. As what i observe ladies nowdays (not saying I'm judging but most of them are) berangan nak dapat husband berduit, then tak payah kerja, duduk rumah, jaga rumah, jaga anak.. and cukup time husband belanja.

SALAH!!!

Jangan sesekali berangan macam tu ya kaum wanita. To me, its good if your husband afford to support everything tapi sangatlah beza bila dapat pegang duit sendiri. No matter how kaya your husband, you still have to earn bit for yourself. At least if kita suka sesuatu benda, tak payahlah nak mengharap husband beli 24jam, bila tak dapat, terkulat- kulat biji mata.

Hidup berumah tangga, semua orang mengharapkan kekal hingga ke mati. Itu konsep berumahtangga 50 tahun dulu perhaps? Nowadays, I advice womens out there supaya bekerja sendiri tak kira kerja in office or even home business as long ada saving sikit for future. Dan senyap- senyap la ada saving sendiri untuk kemudahan di kemudian hari. Mana tau kalau panas tak sampai ke petang sekurangnya takde la kita ternganga ditinggalkan sehelai sepinggang.

Some of you might not agree but percayalah. There's thousand of advantages if you know how to stand on your own. Alhamdulillah, I'm working and in the same time I do have side income for saving. There's certain things that my husband would buy for me and some of it I do bought with my own money. That's the fact and I'm proud of it. I don't care people say I might be stupid by not taking advantage so-call but I do believe, if anything happen in future I know how to handle and stand on my own. I proud with what I own (I mean like handbags even clothes or shoes- personal things from normal to luxury brand), all I earn it with my own effort. I should be grateful enough because husband bought a comfortable house for our family.

Back to the topics, think about it. Trust me, you will agree with me.

OH OH SHEILA !!

I love Sheila Majid since her album Lagenda. (not really big fan on 80-90's era tho) And.. Im in love infact....loving my new pendant from Royal Selangor by Sheila Majid! OMG! Its so simple yet catchy.. Thank you so much to Caven for your help!!



Lawa tak? Lawa tak? I like :-)

XOXO

SARA 2ND YEAR

I told myself I owe Sara big one on her big day since last year. Its not really huge party as you can see no kids running around, clowns, balloons everywhere, bubbles or maybe a chocolate fountain but it just a proper ceremony with few friends with kids.. some balloons and goodie bag to give away. Some of them cant make it due to working on weekends but its OK.. will see you guys on Sara 3rd year yeah?!

 Huge damage for the batch



 Lovely cuppies. Good job Eri !!

 The cake

Turning 2 !!

Alhamdulillah everything went smooth.. InsyAllah I will do much better event for her 3rd year.

XOXO

BISTRO AFFAIR

Dont get me wrong by the CD title yeah?

I am so in love with my new CD I just grab today at Rock Corner- Bistro Affair, French Classic Songs. OK, laugh at me because I may not understand wutta hell they are sang about but I love the music and melody. Most of the song I heard it before in English version but listening it in French was so wonderful feeling- creates a different feeling in you.. fantastic mood. My fav song will be Je Ne Repartirai Pas, Ne Me Quittes Pas and La Mer.

I bought other 2 CDs as well- Najwa and Yuna. I can tell Najwa is much better than Yuna even though not many of Malaysian know her song yet compared to Yuna but she has a superb songs and voice man!! OK OK I can tell I'm not regret buying their CDs.

OK.. here the song I would like to share with you by Najwa

AINT THAT A SHAME



Saw him at a cafe

On Valentines Day

Enjoying croissant and cafe au lait

I think he might have seen me

But I pretended to be busy

And I looked away

He got a new style

That every ladies looking for

and every time he smile

Oh he leaves us wanting more

But enough with cliches

I wish I knew what to say

He makes me melt like sorbet

On a hot summer day

But he doesn't even know my name

Oh, ain't that a shame!

Saw him again after a couple of days

sitting at the same cafe

Enjoying croisant and cafe au lait

But something happened must've been my day

I could've sworn he was looking my way- he said

"Bonjour Mademoiselle! I noticed you were sitting there alone

and I was wondering if you'd like to share

A cup of cafe au lait avec moi?"

Well I said okay

We had a beautiful day

and the rest as they say

Is history..

Owh my- it such a lovely song I wish I could share it with you.. gimme some time ya to upgrade my blog and put a mp3 player. So I can share my fav songs, and you may enjoy it while Im sharing my journey with you.

Clock are ticking to 125am. Actually I ave to clear my room as the installer come over tomorrow morning to install air cond @ 10am. But I guess.. I should enjoy my sleep at night and wake up early morning to clear. Nothing major anyway.. few things only. Finally Sara could sleep dearly at night and I can enjoy my sleep too. Lala-land.

I ave a lot in mind lately.. I dunno why and somehow it affects my daily life too. Maybe.. too many things that I wanna achieve in my life. As I always told myself

A goal without a plan is a wish

Yeah.. that is facts dear. I should seek some advice and opinion but I dunno if I should take it as an advice? Or sharing perhaps? I dunno. And end up.. I should make a decision all by myself. I hate to say this but I have to be a mental worrior to face any difficulties in life in future. I guess, I am tough enough- thank you to Louis Vuitton.. working there somehow teach me to be more calm, and full of patience. Haha.. That is facts too.

I hope one day I have the answer. I cant drag it too long or else I'll be wasting my time. OK.. Darlings.. I gotta make a move. My bed calling me dearly as I ave to crawl in and say good night Malaysia.. Good night to you..

XOXO

SLEEP HARD NOT PARTY HARD

Haha yeah yeah I know its sounds weird but the truth is.. I didnt get enough sleep lately due to lotsa thing happen in life and work.. and the climax is on Sunday night- I only slept 2 hours.. woke up at 530am and rush to Gardens for Rotation 3 BonVoyage. Ya Allah... God knows how I felt for that bloody 9 hours.. sumpah macam zombie k kerja. I cant think of anything just want to settle on time and go home on time. Sorry Azhan I cant join your karaoke session. Maybe some other time yeah?

Well.. I manage to have enough sleep and actually more than enough whole night and woke up at 1130am. ???? OMG!! Nasib baiklah terjaga kalau tak, pecah rekod ok datang lewat. Rush to Gardens but manage to drop by at ReeDee to grab my petrol cover coz I lost it. Infact- I forgot to screw it back after fuel up and terus tutup and chow!! And after a week I wanna fill it again..I do ask ane tukang isi petrol tu isikan minyak- After penuhkan etc.. ane tu tanya, "Kakak.. ini tutup mana?" Im bit shock of course.. sebab ... aik?? takkan takde kot? " Then I said.. tadi u bukak u taruk mana?" .... " Owh... tarak kakak.. Saya isi..mau tutup.. tarak jumpa..."  OK OK disebabkan otak dah content I just left the petrol pump and start to think...where the hell is my petrol cover... OK la must be a week ago I rush and forgot to screw it back... Anyway- dah dapat yang baru pun... so- after this... hati- hati ye Ein..

I'm having a huge dilemma now... Patutkah aku mencabut gigi geraham ni... Sebab dah tak tertanggung dah kebasnya... Nak ngadap doktor.. alamak! Nightmare lah!! Tapi rasanya... kena jugak kot...? Cabut je lah...kan?

Oklah.. Dah start merapu sampai ke cerita gigi.. I better make a move. Harga untuk kaftan, kerudung and brooch dah update so, bolehlah cuci2 mata sambil membeli belah ye.

XOXO

BON VOYAGE

Chewah, tetiba feeling French la.. Im bit sad.. my lovely sister aka bestfriend da balik Jakarta.. I wish I could spent more time with her during her visit but sadly I cant afford to take anymore leave. But anyway, I am so happy but I cook for her and other guest as well. sendiri masak, sendiri terliur ok. Wah... tetiba memuji kelazatan masakan sendiri walaupun bukan hari2 masak kannn... tetap tau tatasusilanya ok.

After lunch.. we did spent some time at my place. And after that we heading to The Curve, menyambung shopping.. hahah especially for her. And finally lepak2 at TGiF. After that baru la cuci2 mata... and i Manage to grab a candle stand (gara2 terjebak dgn si Ruslan tp mmg lawa and rezeki dia dapat sepasang), i got a nice cardigan (konon2 feeling Kim K) and also a skirt from Hallmark for Sara.

Mela, Kamisah and me

Lepas dah rentung berjalan then masing2 balik ke sarang and I guess Mela and Kamisah... sambung berjalan lagi. Anmd tq to Mela and do drop by to Gardens again before she fly back to Jakarta. Dear... no worries.. I'll be back again ok? Just wait for me and we will rock Immi and Luna Negra!!

Aww... speaking of Luna Negra... it such a peace and beautiful bar and dining place that I ever seen !! Bukan tak bangga dengan 'makan place' negara sendiri but of coz feeling ke negara orang ke tempat elit tu lain. Selain food dia berpatutan and also atmosferanya sangat2 la best ok! So sesiapa ke Jakarta, sila ke Luna Negra- its a must!!!

Keren ga? Keren bangat si!! Gue rindu bangat sama Jakarta juga food sama mall2 nya

Ok ok... Rasanya tu je kot nak membebel today... hehehe.. sebab sekarang tengah semangat nak memantapkan slang Indo ku selain arini... aku susah payah explain pada customer in english, susah sangat nak faham, aku cakap Mandarin terus kannn sentap kejap. Terus tak berani nak kutuk2 LV.

Nite kamu2 semua. Love ya!!!

XOXO

OMG BEEN AGES OK!

Ya Allah, lama nya tak update blog ni.. sure banyak sangat yang nak diperkatakan.. I am very busy now and then dengan kerja segala memang tak menyempat la kan nak membebel dalam blog kesayangan ni. Selama ni dok sebok la baca blog orang tapi blog sendiri tak nak update.

Well, latest now I've been busy sangat2 dengan preparation birthday party Sara dan juga tempahan Raya... and also sebok melobi ready to wear Raya katanya kat facebook. So far..maybe sebab dah lama tak update so macam susah sikit nak gerak but dengan support kengkawan yang dicintai.. Alhamdulillah bergerak jua barangan ku.

Dalam tak sedar dah nak penghujung Jun. Subhanallah, dalam diam..lagi 6 bulan dah good bye my love 2011 ni dan akhirnya aku telah membuat keputusan yang tepat untuk memulakan apa yang aku suka. Sorry aku tak boleh nak share banyak blog ni karang ada je isu semasa hingga aku jadi penunggu setia office kan kena soal siasat. Jadi, diamkan sudah.

Ada jugak a few people yang tanya, I can do and actually doing online business since 2009 and in the same time menjahit semua kenapa tak teruskan. Darlings semua, tentulah ada sebab tersirat yang tak dapat dikongsi dengan masyarakat kenapa aku tak gerak sendiri. Bukan senang sebenarnya. Buat online bisnes ni memerlukan banyak masa untuk melayan email.. update.. segala benda la. So kena admin yang cukup untuk menggerakkan jentera yang sedia ada ni. Aku ni dgn kerja mcm ni, suka tak suka redha je la.. apa yang ada. And ada jugak sesetengah pembeli yang hangat2 tahi koala.. janji2 pastu tinggal janji.. and ada yang masih belum faham konsep beli online ni.

Alhamdulillah, aku jujur dalam jual beli online ni sbb cari rezeki halal kan, end up bagi anak makan so kenalah jujur dan menepati masa. Soal ada sesetengah kata beli online ni penipu- itu subjektif. Setiap perkara memang ada risiko and if happen you bump into orang yang tak jujur dalam soal jual beli online- report la. Buat also, you must understand konsep risiko yang kedua ialah, risiko barang tak sampai or lost in the middle. Biasanya, lepas penjual pos, dia akan bagi reference number pada si pembeli. So anything senang nak rujuk and pada penjual pula perlu la follow up samada barang dah sampai ke belum. Tapi nasihat aku la pada para penjual luar sana, jujurlah pada tiap perkara yang korang buat.. InsyAllah sejahtera hidup dunia akhirat.

Ok ok.. now nak update collection Raya... so cuci2 mata la ye.. Mana tau ada yang berkenan just buzz me. My number and email ada nuuunnnn kat bawah tu.

XOXO

Hello!

Omg!!! Lama gila tak blog. Serious this few months sangatlah busynya dgn bermacam hal menimpa.. malas nak explain cuma.. I just let them talk.. tapi apa yang aku face sangatlah tak baloi. well nevermind. Benda dah lepas. Allah test me after 5 years. Bersabar, tu je yang aku boleh cakap.
