The Star 28.1.2012 Man oh Man! One thing that has pushed me to the limit working my ass off was to be able to make good money so I can fill my fuel for my kids to get to school on time. I'm so sure the culprit has had a lot to celebrate from ripping off the public (of 14%) before this spot check was done. Millions already went into his pocket, and we're the ones who sit here pondering how to make

Stressing out over daily routine trying to accommodate everyone's needs is quite taxing and can be very depressing indeed, if you let it. When that routine involve young children, we as mothers would be dubbed as selfish if we say we too need the space to breathe... You're the mother! They're your kids they're your responsibilities, deal! O_O Coming home to needy cranky young children with no

Had the taukeh squeezed the oranges, sayang and I would have a nearly complete breakfast served to us this morning :D  Nonetheless, we're thankful for this gesture. Yesterday he gave each of us his customers one orange after we're seated while waiting for our morning coffee to be served. This morning, each table has a little saucer with 5 oranges in it. Thank you Ah Lim! And it is a very special

Intimacy. googled"gambar hiasan & pembakar minda" ;) When we (first) got married, I was so happy because all I wanted was to always be close to him. After awhile, a phone call alone often wasn't enough to mend my aching heart, I wanted to be near him all the time. And my heart is still beaming with happiness now, syukur. Happy marriage isn't all made of fun romantic holidays, endless surprise

Little Miss Cheongsam 2012 winners Have you ever came across something beautiful and ugly within a 24 hour period? What I went through yesterday was nothing compared to what the parents had to endure hearing the heart wrenching cry of their little child having his little fingers stuck at the end of the shopping mall escalator.

Julie & Girl (Carmilla) I'm turning 39 this year and syukur alhamdulillah, I am grateful with what God has given me. There are a lot of things that I wish I could have but, I'm not about to dwell on what I don't have. And most certainly I'm not gonna ponder over why and how some hurtful incidents happened the way it did.  We make choices in our lives to be close with whomever we're comfortable

My daughter was giving her father a haircut yesterday but she couldn't go through with the shaving of her's Papa's neck area... It gives her the tingles she said. Afraid that she might cut him she added.  "Mama, you gotta help me with this one..." Seri called out to me.  While I was shaving my husband's neck, I couldn't help but wonder how my armpits would look if they were shaved! Oh ya..!

She didn't have to get me or her siblings, or her Nenek Girl and Nenek Boy, her cousins and even her Papa anything from Indonesia.

I left the house at 6:15am but was already caught in horrible bumper to bumper within 10 minutes. When we were finally reaching Arman's school at 7am, water level had risen up about over 1 foot (or 2!) high (my rough calculation) and only

Felt so excited meeting a so called celebrity I glowed as if I was on my first date, believe me, I was really feeling the glow. This is a good pic, good lighting with no giant pores visible.  Happily I was saying to myself>>> *Ooooooo... I'm so gonna blog about this!!* :D But, she had to spoil

After watching a heart-warming Malay movie, this English movie I'm watching now (actually not that boring at all but...) has no chance of getting the 100% attention from me. The typical 'I Love You', 'beautiful wedding' thingy is nothing compares to the heart wrenching, pillow squeezing, dead romantic and screen-gluing Ombak Rindu. All I heard from friends (as tweeted and mostly posted on their

We didn't go far, Damai Beach Resort isn't anything like the super metropolitan Kuala Lumpur or Singapore but, it was as fun. And we were spending within our means. I get special rates on my stays at the resort and holidaying thousands of miles from home would have to wait till sayang and I can really afford to bring the kids on a serious shopping spree. Budget says within 30 km radius.  Our room

I did say, if I ever got myself into car trouble in the middle of the city, all I need to do is find the nearest KFC restaurant :) And if ever I was short on cash to buy food for my next meal, I'll just head to the nearest outlet and give an ex-colleague a cute little face. I shall be fed :D Heeheee... Kinda cool being an ex-employee to this giant fast fast company, I get free meals and often

Often we would say it's the parents' fault if teenagers turned out to be irresponsible or troubled adults. But, who's to blame if a recently divorced 50 year old woman goes out all night to have fun with her single girlfriends and spends the money that she should be putting away for her old age? Well well, what do you know... A relative has someone to blame, her ex-husband.  The relative believes

There's nothing more rewarding than to have pics of your work published on the front page news. I'd be jumping up and down for joy (oh ya.. really!) and will first show the morning paper to my bosses whenever this happens, and alhamdulillah... This happened few times this year :D *ok boss.. what about that raise??* Ehemm..  The soonest I saw a pile of today's newspapers on the office lobby couch,

Let's see... I've composed nicely in my mind on how to start this post... Now it's gone. Ohhh Bummer. Dayang Nurfaizah @ Merdeka Palace, December 2011 Squeezing time to have a little bit of fun after work or during your weekends can be a little bit hard to do especially when you have a job that requires you to work Saturdays/Sundays with a family to take care at the same time. It sounds stressful

When your kids are growing up, suddenly weekends become more and more precious, for me at least... Why is that when they're younger, time seems to past by so slow but when kids grow older, time passes by too fast?? I really miss my children's kiddy school days, and the time when you purchased whatever outfit and they'll just put them on... Unlike these days, they could just say "Don't wanna wear

If you plan to spend some time away from the city, Damai Central is one of the most perfect getaways in Kuching. It's open to public and photography sessions has never been more peaceful & fulfilling. My darling hubby loves a long drive, he would drive us all the way to Lundu sometimes just to enjoy a long quiet (sometimes noisy!) ride on weekends. We booked seats at the cineplex earlier this

The popular hitz.fm morning crew JJ & Ean will be in town to host the birthday bash along with hitz.fm Kuching announcers. The best part (I think) would be a performance by the beautiful Mizz Nina.

My eldest daughter Ayu couldn't be with her youngest sister Hani today because she's at campus. We're gonna keep few pieces of the birthday cake for her to enjoy when she comes back for the weekend..

.... Hell. Why? Why is there ever such a phrase?  One of the few common problems that couples face in their relationship is, 'The Mother'. Yup, it's a pity. Puzzles should fit. If mom doesn't approve, you're in for a tough ride.  Puzzles don't fit, no union, no wedding.  You might not 'see' it, but your mother seems to know better than you, which is always, always not fair that she judges

Smiling ear to ear before leaving for a press conference.No, not because I was so so happy & excited to do it, all for me to tell myself it wasn't gonna be that bad..., I might fumble a little, just hoping that I won't trip or step onto any of the GM's foot -_- If I had a choice, I would like to do the ordinary admin/accounts work and be placed in my cubicle from 8 to 5, for five days a week only

My baby girl Hani with her certificate. "Mama.. NO PHOTOS!" I had to steal shots.... :/ Crushed! I only wanted one perfect shot of her holding her cert in her school uniform... You gotta understand, this is a motherly thing. You can only picture how obnoxious my behavior was trying to get 'd' best shot of my Hani holding her cert. I was snappin' snappin' sideways while walking towards the stairs

Ask Borneo Love, where is her favorite eating place?? Well, *answering d question addressed to her*, hee.. heee... perasan rasa macam sesi interbiew! :p I do have a few places in town that I would suggest where food is served at its best. But, one of my favorite spots has to be Atok Kopitiam. I did blog about this chic cafe awhile ago and now, I am suuuper excited to let the whole world know

Maybe, maybe if it wasn't for this blogging thing, I will never got to know about thepoplook.com online shopping site Can't deny it, I really enjoy writing. Think it shows in my consistent posting... Sometimes, I'd do three posts in a week! -oh man- It's addictive. But I do need to read more, my vocab still needs a lot of brushing up to do. Hubby said I CAN write. Awww...! So sweet of him to say

Women. Can you blame our men for fuming over our absurd behavior & requests?? Really, it is not easy to please us ladies. When we're single, we wish men would come raining down on us and we will take whatever that are served on our plates (reminds me of an ad where women fell from the sky because this guy was wearing a super cool cologne, cute!) Hmm... I'm making men sound like food, am I not??

We often forget that asking certain questions to certain people may cause ourselves unnecessary heartache and bitterness later. Didn't mean to be nosy but, if the queries would  come back to us in a form of a 'slap in da face', then, better just mind our own business next time ya? Stick your nose where it

Competition is open to children from 5-10 years of age Last week I was worried, worried, confused, anxious & not motivated. Today I feel excited, nervous, very motivated and (almost) settled. When you have like only 5 kids signed up for an event sponsored by big names, you have no way of escaping that 'I-wanna-quit-now!' feeling. But of course, it was still too early to decide whether or not to

During my time, I never had the chance to wear any of these cute birthday party stuff. So, excuse me, let the little child in me have a little bit of fun...... No, it is not my birthday. It's my niece Nadya's birthday party. Though it was just a very small gathering of few of her classmates, Nadya had tonnes of fun and all the children really enjoyed themselves :D Happy 7th Birthday Nadya!(Nadya

Feeling all guilty when shopping for your own clothes & stuff is a normal feeling when you're a parent to four growing children. I have been thinking about a pair of wedges the past couple of weeks and can't wait to bring them home with me. YuP! I have that guilt feeling alright... But, between the guilt feeling, daydreaming of wearing my new wedges and waiting for the next paycheck, I've came up

But, once Ayu left her Form 5 two years ago, I felt like my baby is not a baby anymore! She's a real adult who's going to face this (sometimes cruel) world all by herself and she won't be needing her mama no more!! *duhh... sad*

Darling colleague Yatie was enjoying her last day at our second home (the office..) yesterday. She got all dressed up just for the day :) And she was definitely looking radiant & beautiful than usual. But we all knew, she was hurting inside, as much as she was happy embarking into a new much more promising career, she's also very sad to leave us. We all have such good relationship and we are

I could feel my lunch hasn't been properly digested. It wasn't good. Asked mom for some ENO. For what it's worth, I just swallowed the mixture in hope my upset stomach would calm down. Nae...

with my darling cousins (bapak's side) and sister Siti at cousinYuswandi & Nisa's wedding After the bride & groom were seated, there was a short Tazkirah, right before the 'doa'.

The chocolate covered candies sounds really good. But, too good, that's my honest opinion. I mean, I thought our nation was having some economic crisis?? How on earth can we afford the handouts? Why were all these weren't ever done a decade ago? Being a parent, not having to have to buy school text books for my children has been a huge plus easing the burden to my family annual budget dilemma.

I don't know, maybe it's just me. But I swear my facial skin feels smoother these days. I've noticed the change a week ago. Well ya, I've been using a popular beauty product the past one month (or less) and notice that my face looks much less oily (as if I've been using pressed powder all day), clearer, smoother & more radiant! Now isn't that what we want girls?? Not much I can do about them,but

This cute beaded top was the only Raya outfit I purchased to wear for this year's Hari Raya. For the bottom part, I matched my pink top with a white satin sarong. Hmmm... I know, I should have five sets of kurungs for our very much celebrated Raya Kuching-style, but I didn't. Not this Raya  :(   Next year, mark my word, InsyaAllah, next year... Loads of new baju Raya with longer hair :) I will

Nope! I'm not expecting... sorry to disappoint you guys -__- Well ya, I know my stats says "I'm 8 weeks and I'm craving Starburst !!!", which was actually for a good cause. I notice not many of my friends responded to the little tease, supposedly to ignite some awareness. Can you blame them??

It's Hari Raya mode and I'm on leave. Yeayyyyyyy!  *short-lived*  No cuti is without nothing to do. For this time of  year, my leave is for the cheesecake orders I took couple of weeks ago. I don't need extra leave after Raya, the two three days are sufficient. Most important thing is to live up to the over 30 expectations *guLp!*. Uh-ha! Yes yes... That's like almost 3 dozens cheesecakes, for

She got my mother in law to make her a kaftan for this year's Hari Raya and it's almost done. But not really done done yet! She wants more bling bling added to her 1st Day Raya outfit.  "Nek!

If I could shop online for Hari Raya clothes, I would! Driving around town hopping from one boutique to another trying to look for the cutest kurung with the most affordable price is very stressful and time consuming. Time. Time time time.. oh man! On the road all day... Aduuhhh The girls found what they wanted at Fah & Kamdar last week Arman, with no care in the world,"You girls go ahead..."

Do you have a scary experience to share? I do.  After watching a movie where 16 people survived the Andes accident in 1972, it really showed what the human strength is really capable of. What got two of the survivors through from walking ten days trekking across one of the Andes' highest mountains was their will power.  Most of the time, I'm sure, their body had given up on them. But nothing

Sahur isn't the best thing for some of us, especially when YOU are the one who has to make preparations for the early morning meal. You're adding more salt than you should into the pot because your eyes are still literally half closed, your body and mind are still in dreamland...

Dear Authorities,  I am writing as a very very concerned member of the public. Always, after any mishap occurs, then only the relevant authorities start to take action and pay attention to the safety precaution. By then, children and family members have to suffer for the loss and misery caused by such incidents that could easily be avoided.  But this one is too much. The big hole I saw (which

No doubt, what keeps me going is the salary, my enthusiasm and great supporting colleagues. Everyone has to work to make a living, mothers at home also working too you know! Yes, indeed..., mothers have the toughest job on earth, I agree with Oprah. Bringing up children (not to mention bringing them INTO this world!) demands a lot of undivided attention from the already busy working mom. Wohh!

Throughout my working years, I've experienced quite a handful number of bosses with all kinds of characters. But nothing beat a lady boss! They're meticulous, blunt, but very decisive.  If you're a guy (boss), you're good and detailed. But if you're a lady (boss), you're 'cerewet' (fussy) and a nag. And if you're happened to be tailing a 'stupid' driver on the right lane, straight on you'd assume

If you ask me what I want for Christmas, my answer would be 'A New Kitchen'. I mean, have you seen Nigella's kitchen?? Whenever her cooking show is on, I'd miss half the tips she's giving because instead of concentrating on her cooking, I'd be too busy scanning every single corner of her gorgeous stainless-steel theme kitchen.
