2013 is here!

Honey's 1st Eidulfitri

1 Syawal 1433 bersamaan 19 Ogos 2012, adalah pertama kali Honey menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Not Honey's 1st raya though since Honey was born about a month before last year raya haji. Tapi takde gambar masa sambut raya haji.

Persiapan adalah ala kadar. Baju kurung Honey aku beli di awal tahun lagi sebab berkenan dengan pattern & color nya.

Honey's 1st baju kurung...


Baju2 lain pun sudah dibeli sejak awal lagi, bila terjumpa yang berkenan. Tak banyak pun. Ada lah dalam 2, 3 pasang. Alhamdulillah Honey murah rezeki. Cikgu2 di taska pun ada belikan baju Honey. Walaupun katanya murah aje, yang penting ingatan kan.

Honey & Mama di pagi Syawal...

1st Mother's Day as A Mother

Like previous years, I celebrated the day with my beloved mom of course & my sis. Not much, just having lunch together. This year, we chose Garden_Cafe@Alamanda.


Yang lainnya tahun ni ada budak kecik join us.


Ada yang kata sambut Hari Ibu haram. Well for me it's not wrong to make our mother's day wonderful & one of the days is today.

1 candle indicates 1st year as a mom...


TQ D for the cake!
Hari Ibu, tapi Honey yang dapat hadiah. TQ Nenek sebab hadiahkan Honey gelang!

Aqiqah Honey: Door gift

Huuu... berbulu je rasa bila teringat pasal door gift. Kalau selak pos-pos lama ada lah aku membebel pasal door gift yg lambat nak dpt. Lambat nak dpt tu satu hal, telefon tak berangkat & sms pun tak berbalas. Janji hari sekian, tapi sampai masa langsung takde kabar berita. Betul-betul buat aku susah hati.

Doorgift yang aku order adalah surah Yaasin & kotak sekali. Masa aku placed the order awal Januari, elok je servisnya. Kalau susah nak contact dari awal, takde lah aku order kat kompeni tu. Actually dia ada bgtau the reason dia tak jawab tepon & sms sebab tepon dia rosak. Tapi email pun makan masa nak balas. Sedangkan masa aku nak order dulu cepat je balas email.

Takpe lah, yang penting dapat walaupun kotak kurang 6 & ada sikit kesilapan cetakan pada kotak. Alhamdulillah, lega. Somehow after that even when I emailed the company informing about the payment that I had transfered via online banking, no reply at all. No thanks whatsoever. My colleague found out there was error in the doa part of the Surah Yaasin. Mukasurat 38, surah Al-Baqarah ayat 285 tak habis. I emailed them informing about the error. Again, no reply at all.

Selain daripada Yaasin, aku bagi gula2 & coklat. Inilah doorgift ketika majlis aqiqah Honey...


Reben kecil tu aku beli, gunting & ikat sendiri tau. Kira ada jugak lah hasil keras tangan aku ni ;-).

By the way, I found out about the company by googling. Masa tu tengah gunting rambut & buat hair treatment kat salon. Sambil rambut dikerjakan, tangan sibuk pegang Tab menggoogle. Terjumpalah website kompeni tu. Depa buat sale for only 50 slots of order for the Yaasin. So I emailed them time tu jugak. He replied telling me that only 4 slots left. So I instantly placed the order. Terasa diri sungguh efficient. Memang tak sia-sia habiskan masa hampir 2 jam di salon. Rambut pendek & lembut, doorgift untuk majlis aqiqah Honey pun dapat :-D.

Aqiqah Honey: Kambing

Pada hari Sabtu yg lalu, kenduri aqiqah Honey telah diadakn di kediaman kami. {Intro yg skema.}


Honey on her aqiqah day. Comel kan? :-D
Kambing aqiqah diuruskan oleh pihak katering. Tak tengok pun kambing disembelih. Beberapa hari sebelum kambing disembelih, ada orang katering telefon untuk akad or something like that. Masa tu aku tgh sidai baju so I just passed the mobile phone to JD & continued hanging clothes.

Harga kambing bergantung kepada cara masakan. Kalau nak golek, harga sekor kambing RM1k - RM1.2k. Asalnya memang nak buat kambing golek, but the caterer told me that kalau kambing golek hanya ckup utk 50 - 60 org makan sahaja. There was a case, sekor kambing golek dihabiskan oleh org2 marhaban sahaja. Tak sempat tetamu lain nak merasa.

So, I decided to order kari kambing. RM850 sekor. Lupa nak tangkap gambar kari kambing yang dihidangkan. Nasib baik pihak katering tak lupa nak tangkap gambar kambing yang bakal dimasak kari untuk majlis aqiqah Honey.


Kurus je kambingnya tapi alhamdulillah, cukup utk semua tetamu yg hadir. Tak sangka, ramai yg puji kari kambing tu sedap. Memang lauk kari kambing jadi star of the dish lah on that day.

Yesterday...

It was JD's birthday indeed but it wasnt the major event of the day.

Will update more on yesterday later...

Dream night

Actually, the main reason I went to KLCC last Saturday was to attend this event held at a place nearby.

The emcee of the event...

Performance by a group of hot dancer...

Michael~Jackson (fake) pun ada...

Finally, this is it. The new bike is revealed.

The same new bike but in custom color.

Unfortunately, we don't know the price yet.

Lucky draw pun ada. I did win something but I passed up. Hadiah tak best.

Test ride (in a static mode)...

Last but not least, with the emcee...

Walk (jump?) for charity

The sneak peak is here.

Early 'dinner'.

On the way to Masjid Besi...

The walk was about to start...

& the walk begun. Left, right, left, right...

Yay! 2.5km... half way to go!

& more jumps...

Oily faces at the finishing line.

Sneak peek: Walk for charity

At the event where most everybody wore a yellow t-shirt.

Killing time by taking our own pics.

The four of us.

Together we support the world hunger relief.

Sneak preview: One day in a wedding ceremony

Closing the generation gap...

The day I simply didn't mind wearing all red.

Since I got more than one reason to do so.

The clothes & the shawl doesn't quite match but I was consumed by red to care.

It was Chinese New Year.
It was Valentine's Day.
It was the day my cousin got engaged. We, the man's family/relatives wore red as the theme.


Congrats on your engagement!

The following morning, from Sg Petani we headed more to the north.
Masa untuk bercuti!

A Convoy to A Wedding

Ahad lepas ke Jengka. Ahad ni ke Banting, kenduri belah lelaki pula. Kali ni ke Banting berkonvoi lebih 15 buah kereta. Berkumpul dan sarapan di rumah Mak. Pukul 11:30am, mula bergerak ke Banting.

Berkonvoi menuju ke Banting, rumah keluarga pengantin lelaki.

Bergambar dengan sepupu & anak2 buah.

Pengantin baru. Semoga dimurahkan rezeki & berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat. Amin.

Rombongan pengantin.

Balik dari kenduri, sambung makan nasi lemak kat umah Mak. Abis diet!

A Trip to A Wedding

Last weekend was a hectic weekend, especially for D. Actually, on Saturday morning while I was typing the previous post, there was an Indon guy repairing the broken tiles outside the porch.

Then we went to Puchong to settle something. We had to wait almost 45 minutes there bcos our agent had another customer. I started feeling starving. When our agent babbled about the promotional & non-promotional items, I felt like shouting at him to cut it off. Seriously, to be on a diet is tougher than I thought. I did have a breakfast, but still starving for a lunch.

After the business is settled, we shot to Bukit Tinggi. Not really, we stopped at McD Drive Thru & bought 3 sets of meal just for the 2 of us =D.

So, here's the pics at Bukit Tinggi.

The next day, early in the morning we started our journey to my cousin's wedding. Arrived at 8:40am. The mak andam was preparing the bride for solemnization ceremony.

Tahniah CT!

2 hours later, we headed back & reached home at 2pm. At 3pm, went to LCCT. D pun terbang ke Sabah. Me? Just did the thing that I enjoy most - relaxing at home :-).

Raya & bla bla bla...

Lately, nak turn on laptop pun malas sangat. Apa lagi lah nak update blog. So, here's the brief update.

Aku rasa tahun ni lah persiapan raya di Msia yg paling simple. Actually hampir langsung tiada persiapan. Kuih raya beli 1 jenis jer - tart jem & kerepek. Dah abis buat makan sendiri.

Baju raya pun sampai skrg tak beli lg. Nasib baik ada baju yg dibeli tahun lepas. Baju tu dibeli pada hari aku berangkat ke UK. Flight tgh mlm, siang tu sempat lg pergi shopping & terbeli plak baju raya wlupun tau takkan pakai raya tahun tu. Alhamdulillah, masih muat lagi. Carik jugak baju raya siap di pasaraya yg berdekatan, tapi takde yg berkenan di hati.

Sepasang kurung biru di pagi raya.

Malamnya beraya dgn Chipmunks.

Aku gi tengok wayang dgn D, citer 'The Gamer'. Orang tak ramai kt wayang. Kalau tak, segan gak nak amik gambar dgn Chipmunks ni. Tapi kualiti gambar kurang sbb amik pakai handphone.

Lepas makan rendang, nasi himpit & kuah kacang Mak, semangat raya pun berkurangan. Tu lah bila looking forward for hari raya sebab nak makan jer. Hari2 raya seterusnya dihabiskan di rumah, tengok TV. Memang officially jadi couch potato. Cuma tak lah terbaring on a couch, tapi terbaring jer atas karpet depan TV. Maklum lah, setahun tak tengok TV... jadi kemaruk sikit. Hari tu balik, tak tgk TV sgt.

Rumah yg agak bersepah, dikemas secara berperingkat. Jumaat lepas cuci langsir. Memang berkati-kati habuk. Isk... terkoyak plak day curtain akibat kecuaiaan sendiri. La ni, sliding door ni takde day curtain. So hari Sabtu, gi Kamdar yg baru bukak kt Putrajaya utk tempah langsir. 2 minggu baru siap katanya. Kiranya day curtain tu jer lah langsir baru utk raya ni. Tu pun klu sempat siap sblm raya abis.

Isnin lepas dah start keje. Memang malas giler nak start tapi paksa gak diri gi keje pagi tu. Semuanya berjalan lancar. Report for duty, mengadap boss, amik PC baru & setup opis. Di samping tu, catch up on the story/gossip kat tpt keje. Ok lah. Somehow, it feels good to return to work.

Nanti lah sambung. Nak tgk TV.

Raya's Entry

Ok, you've seen the sneak peek... now, more Raya's pics.

Aku tak tangkap byk gambar pun... & tak tertangkap gambar sendiri. So all the pics here are from my friends' cameras ok yg dicilok dari Facebook.

Back to the sneak peek pic, tu gambar masa Hari Raya pertama, hari Selasa 30hb Sept. Balik dr kelas, about 5:30pm kitorg pegi ke open house ni.

Nak makan pun tak senang... ada jer org amik gambar.

Pastu pegi plak satu lg umah, sebelah2 jer umahnya.

Tuan rumah & keluarga yg berbaju hijau tu ler...

Yg ni plak raya's invitation dr budak undergrad JMU, freshie gak on Thursday, Oct 2. Katanya mcm kat JMU tak ramai Melayu, so jemputlah kitorg yg dr UoL ni. Kitorg apa lg, belasah je. Dia belanja pizza & nasi goreng. Semoga murah rezeki lah yer...

Tetiba terbayang plak kesedapan pizza tu.

Muka2 org yg kekenyangan... tu pun ada sekotak pizza tak berusik lg tu.

Camni lah kitorg beraya... dapat makan2 tu pun dah kira raya.

Sebenarnya aku tgh malas tahap cipan ni. Semalam aku rasa aku dah rajin giler. Study a.k.a tenung lecture notes hampir spjg mlm sblm tido tau. There are always notes/books to read & assignments to be finished. I should start tenung some lectures note now.

See you in the next Raya's entry.
