Jadd days out with Mama and Aunty Runiz

Today is such a lovely day. me and my good friend brings her newborn baby to have lunch. first time going out with little hero, kelam kabut jugak.

1. we drove to tesco, find parking, parked the car...Jadd already in car seat... so,his mama bawalah si kecil ni keluar dari kereta. we both try to fix the car seat into the frame...byk kali jugalah try tapi tak menjadi...mmg lawak lah jugak...yelah Mama dia sendiri pun confused..usually his Papa yg buat semua tu. Nasib si little Jadd ni cool je. tapi at last..we figure it out...hehehhe..berpeluh2lah jugak..

2. we had our lunch in Santai..agak bising sikit but still little Jadd cool...

3. we did some shopping and we headed home. nak take off car seat from the frame pulak. ni pun satu hal jugak....try punya try akhirnye dapatlah seperatekan car seat tu from frame...place Jadd safelly in the car...ada lagi satu tak settle..cemana nak fold kan the frame pulak ni...yg ni mmg we all ambil masa agak lama to figure this out. berpeluh lah jugak the end of the day... masa bersusah payah tu, there's a car wait to park..mesti dia ingat we all ni culik anak org..tu yg terkial2 nak uruskan semua...

what ever it is..it was fun taking Jadd out...will do it again later..yes Mama Jadd...;-)

P Ramlee the musical

last saturday i was at istana budaya, watching P ramlee the Musical...PRTM. before that, on wed, i beratur 2 jam just to collect the ticket. dah booked ,cuma nak collect je. begitu sekali sambutannye.
i enjoyed the musical... it was good in its own class. tak boleh nak compare dgn PGL sebab ianya mmg berbeza. yelah satu pasal puteri and dah ada filem untuk di rujuk, satu lagi pasal jalan hidup seseorang . in my opinion, watak saloma lakonan Liza Hanim is the best. she really good and dia berjaya membawa watak itu dgn baik. gaya lakonan nye sewajarnye di puji..we can see there is chemistry btwn her and P Ramlee lakonan sean Ghazi.
P ramlee agak kaku di samping Azizah(datuk siti nurhaliza) and Junaidah(atillia). as an audience i tak dapat rasa pun perasaan cinta kedua wanita ini terhadap p ramlee. lakonan Siti not strong enough di samping sean ghazi. ada ketikanya siti agak kaku.begitu juga dgn Atillia. ini sedikt sebanyak menampilkan ketidak serasian antara wanita ini dgn P ramlee.however, its a good start for newcomer though. mereka memerlukan byk masa utk develop the character of teater player. credit to them as well.tapi bab menyanyi..mmg di ketahui umum betapa hebat nye Datuk SIti.
peranan melissa saila serta kebolehan nye di pentas teater sememangnye telah well known. So , melalui Norizan, melissa sebenarnye membuat comeback. lama tak tgk dia berlakon. the scene with full of anger was good. meremang jugak bulu roma masa norizan mengamuk tu....superb.
Prop yang ditampilkan juga amat menarik....simple tetapi cukup untuk membawa audience ke zaman yang di terjemahkan. takdelah audience tertinggal...semua zaman di ikut sebaiknye..

last but not least...congrats to Tiara kerana sekali lagi berjaya mengangkat standard teater melayu ke tangga yg tinggi. tak mustahil untuk musical ini merantau ke negara luar sepertimana kita pernah menerima kunjungan CATS, FAME, STOMP...mungkin karya kita blm sehebat itu tapi inilah permulaan nya.

got back from raya

selamat hari raya.....raya still on eventhough we are back from kampung.i'm back to work as soon as possible because i'm broke dude.
i celebrate raya in Johor and Singapore. In Johor not much to say since i have some issue with my aunty....
In s'pore...great. Raya in S'pore is so colourfull. every family will choose one color to be their color theme. each and every one in the family will wear same or similar color to each other. You can imagine how colourful the road will be during raya.
Another interesting subject raya in s'pore is their mode of transportation. Other than public transport which is awesome and reliable, they will drive any vehicles as long it can fit most family members.....such as, pick up lorry, van( not a regular van but the one we used to transport stuff not people), they rent a school bus wt driver,the head of trailer, bikes for couple, yhey rent a car for small family. I have experienced myself commute with pick up lorry.

Singaporean love visiting relatives in a big group. the whole siblings will be together on hari raya. thats why i'm broke..they will arrive in a very big number and get ready for duit raya..... ;-) but its fun. As everybody assume Singaporean known as up to date in fashion but sometimes I doubt it..hehhehe. During raya, the best thing is, they will wear baju melayu complete wt sampin,songkok and baju kurung whenever they berjalan raya. doesnt matter its 1st day,2nd day,3rd day or even middle or end of syawal, they love to wear baju melayu complete. it very seldom to see such scenario in KL or malaysia as a whole. usually pagi raya pertama je berbaju melayu, tgh hari dah tukar dah.. raya ke-2 dah baju biasa je.

itulah kemeriahan beraya di singapura...little bit different but still happening.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

hi all,

wish u selamat hari raya and maaf zahir batin. drive safely....think of love one. its better late then death..

if u die, u dah lepaslah...org yang ditinggalkan merana selamanya...so dont be selfish, unless if u have nobody, then its ok. as long as u have family, think of them of whatever you do..

we'll be back after raya...no laptop during raya...busy travelling.....

once more SELAMAT HARI RAYA AND HAPPY HOLIDAY....YEAHOOOOOO

are you proud to be malaysian?

I am proud to be Malaysian....well, we should be, right? malaysia can be categorised as small country...there is ppl outside familiar with Kuala Lumpur but not Malaysia. know the existence of Penang but not Malaysia.

When I was in Scotland....surrounded by all nation in the world,and I'm the only Malaysian....most question i have to entertain is..where is Malaysia...Hows malaysia looks like..is it modern country...how ppl living in there..I'm quite surprise but finally I get to know that...Is malaysia like Kuala LUmpur....

oh My God....they tot KL is another country....they kind of surprise when I said Kuala Lumpur is a city in Malaysia as a country. However, most of them knows our Tun Dr Mahathir...;-)

Why we should be proud to be Malaysian?
1. we have our very own automotive product PROTON
(eventhough some malaysian wont approve it but export market is acceptable)
2. we have Everest conqurer
3. we have South pole/North pole explorer
4. we have excellant swimmer for ocean not for pool
5. we have world class squash player, Nicol david
6. we have 2nd tallest buiding...used to be tallest before
7. we have country leader who the world give respect to
8. very recently we have our own malaysia brand astronout

this list can be longer as the time goes by.....

night job during ramadhan

hi frens,
I have 3 night jobs in 3 weeks during ramadhan. It was exciting at first but tiring at the end. sleepy, dizzy,confuse,all sort of feeling appear at the end of the day.
Tonite job is little bit different. y??? hmmmm...because something spooky happen. Usually during night job, i will be in switch room for the whole night. but tonite, i have to be at the lobby to perfom some test......suddenly nature call...for first time i wentt o the lobby toilet at night. the moment i enter it, i smell like a flower and its so strong. at first, i tot it could be toillet perfume or something like that. but then i know how toilet perfume smell.

try not to think of anything, i was just cancel my intention and go to other toilet near to switchroom. meremang lah jugak bulu roma bila terhidu bau wangi semerbak.....pukul 2am+++..tapi ppl said, bulan ramadhan semua hantu syaitan kena ikat so maybe bau wangi ni...jin islam yg berpuasa jugak kot. so masa i went to the toilet, they went also.

lepas tu kan, dlm pkul 3.30am, i pergi lagi lobby tu nak beli air di vendor machine. i heard pak guard sedang azan dgn kuat nye.....
selalu nye if org azan b4 masuk waktu solat, mesti dia rasa takut or nampak apa2 kan....bila i masuk je lobby tu, pak guard tu perlahan kan suara...i pun beli air then ciao...after i keluar, i heard pak guard azan dgn kuat semula.....hmmmm...curios jugak but dont dare to know...

me and redang trip

redang trip was the first travel i made in year 2007. it was sudden decision, no proper plan but turn out to be so damn good.





















ready to go snokerling

i took below photo myself...



look at the water...isnt it fantastic. every morning,when we woke up...the ocean was so inviting.



this is the chalet i stayed. so near to the beach seems like u can just jump from the 2nd floor of the chalet....forgot to mention, our chalet is double storey. very affordable...



get a full board of breakfast to keep the stamina on the top while snorkelling later...






this was second day of vacation. already burned. my mum hardly recognise me when i get home....ehheehhe..





underwater view by myself









the view was so WOW...crystal clear water..not really crowded that time because the beach apparently is officially close. they were just open it the day we got back. so, its like....this is my island.


















when the night fall.....i also fall down .....zzzzzzz

dilemma duit raya

I was in Watson this afternoon. While paying my stuff, i cant help myself over heard the conversation btwn the staff there. since nak dekat raya ni, of course other than baju raya, they talked about how much duit raya to be given nowadays..
while listening to them, i was thinking to myself. How much is the smallest amount could be given as duit raya? up to how old of them to be receiving duit raya? As for myself and my family tradisi, as long as u r student (from kindergarden to uni level) u will definitely receive ur duit raya...in short, as long as u havent earning u will receive duit raya. Now, how much should be given...RM1,2,3,4 or RM5 or RM10. Nowadays kid so smart.smart and brave enuf to say ...kedekutlah auntie/unlce ni or kedekutlah kakak/abang ni. So, RM1 sure mcm tak sesuai je....that we think ..then flat rate RM5 lah..tak kisahlah besar ke kecik ke. but close relative..RM10...
BUT...due to that we become stress...tak cukup duit nak bagi duit raya,as a result , tak payah balik kampung lah. nanti nak bagi parents lagi, grandparents lagi dll....adik2...sepupu2..anak2 sedara.
SO, berilah duit raya mengikut kemampuan masing2. if tak mampu bagi byk, bagi je sikit. the most important IKHLAS..ni kan sedekah...Remember, tgn yg memberi lebih baik dari yg menerima..so berapa kita beri asalkan ikhlas...insyaallah..ada lah ganjaran nye nanti...tapi jgnlah mengharapkan balasan setiap kali kita bagi. ;-)

Santini restaurant

I've tried Ramadhan buffet @ Santini restaurant yesterday. it was bad. As a food lover, i totally disapprove the ramadhan buffet. Ala carte, i'm not sure. perhaps its better than buffet. Mee goreng=bad, no taste. rojak sotong= bad,weird taste. tauhu sumbat, oklah. nasi goreng kg=bad. bubur gandum=sedap, rendang tok n lemang=not bad,there's lauk pauk lain which i havent try but my fren said ok.
But overall,NOT recommended for ramadan buffet. for ala carte, maybe ok.
however, do not hesitate to try out,different ppl got different taste...right.

terawih prayer

Today is 10th day of ramadhan. This Holy months comes only once a year. The specialites of this month is terawih prayer. This prayer can be perform Only during Ramadhan. My first time performed this prayer when I was 16 years old. I was in boarding school that time. well, in boarding school, u shape ur self either to be in good shape or otherwise...its all up to you.
havent miss this prayer during school period except during 'women privillage'. enter college, still maintain the good job.
in university starts choosing which mosque to go to. usually due to how fast the Imam lead the prayer, the faster the better and also what they serve for morih(its a meal after performing terawih). started working, busy break fasting at hotel and restaurants, meet up old frens and as a result miss terawih. why is this happen?? well, its actually depends on ourselves. terawih period is after isyak to b4 subuh. so , even tho we miss to perform it at the mosque due some reason perhaps, we still can perform it at home. apparently, there's no reason for us to miss it.
Therefore, to all muslim who read my blogs, do grab all double triple rewards which only being offer throughout Ramadhan. This offer is much more better than the offer in most shopping mall.
Put it this way, shopping mall offer will be 3 times a year, but Ramadhan offer take place only once a year..so do think about it....ciao guys...;-)
( its a reminder for myself as well)
