You will never know...

Never neglect your instincts...you will never know what is going to happen in the future, which result from the actions that you take now.  No harm trying!


P.s. Hati berbunga-bunga...a mere phone call really made my day! It just did, and still is. =))

Tiny, little things...

Ain't it funny how tiny, little things which might be overlooked by others, can make your heart soar?
In a split second, the adorable scene caught my eye...and it keeps replaying in my mind like a recorder.


I just can't help myself smiling... =))

Roses done...yay~

At last, I'm done with the Roses! Yay~

This post might seem so backdated (my bad...), but still as I promised, here is the final product after 1 year of meticulous work:

Done with on 23 Nov 2010

Currently working on a new project (with no further delay): Mountain Peaks. Prefer not to show the progress or what it looks like. Let the element of surprise excites us this time, heheh...All I can say for now, it is half done... =))

Untuk Perempuan

Aku mendapat ini di blog Farina (thanks babe!)... I'm not an avid fan of SO7, but this one is really an eye-catcher (belum dengar lagunya lagi!).  Puitis... =)

Jangan mengejarnya jangan mencarinya

Dia yang kan menemukanmu

Kau mekar di hatinya
Di hari yang tepat..

Jangan mengejarku dan jangan mencariku
Aku yang kan menemukanmu
Kau mekar di hatiku
Di hari yang tepat..

Tidaklah mawar hampiri kumbang
Bukanlah cinta bila kau kejar
Tenanglah tenang dia kan datang
Dan memungutmu ke hatinya yang terdalam
Bahkan dia takkan bertahan tanpamu

Sibukan harimu, jangan fikirkanku
Takdir yang kan menuntunku
Pulang kepada mu
Di hari yang tepat

Tidaklah mawar hampiri kumbang
Bukanlah cinta bila kau kejar
Tenanglah tenang aku kan datang
Dan memungutmu ke hatiku yang terdalam
Bahkan ku takkan bertahan tanpamu

Aku yang kan datang..
Aku yang kan datang..
Aku yang kan datang..

Aku yang kan datang..

Penjaga Hati (Numata feat. Tetty Kadi)

Ada kala saatku tak berdaya
Menyerah menyusuri hidup
Jangan biarkan aku terluka
Ku di sini membutuhkanmu

Tak akan ada yang melebihi
Ketulusanku kasihku kepadamu
Karena aku yang mencintaimu
Selalu tanpa ragu

Cinta ini takkan terhapus oleh waktu
Begitu adanya dirimu
Masih disini setia tuk menjagamu
Akulah penjaga hatimu

Ada kala saat aku merasa
Sudah sampai di sini saja
Jangan biarkan aku terlena sendiri
Ku di sini membutuhkanmu

Tak akan ada yang melebihi
Ketulusanku kasihku kepadamu
Karena aku yang mencintaimu
Selalu tanpa ragu

Karena aku yang mencintaimu
Selalu tanpa ragu

2nd day of advance weekend...

While others are working (and some have reached home), here I am...savouring my 2nd day of advance weekend. 

*bliss*

Asalnya menjangkakan dapat cuti sehari je dek kerana Hari Kantin yang sepatutnya dibuat semalam...tapi oleh sebab ada "angin" mengatakan Melaka cuti sempena Melaka Maju 2010, makanya dipercepatkan sehari.  Kalut jugak, since aku kat KL masa diorang buat urgent meeting...kononnya berkira-kira ada satu hari lagi for final prep before the event...sekali, huhuhu~

Alhamdulillah, things went smoothly...mujurlah pagi tu ada Chelsea-Spartak Moscow's match buat pelayan mata sambil menyiapkan apa-apa yang kurang (and we won 2-0, woohoo~). 

Two thumbs up for the Urus Setia team (you know who you are!) for making this event a success...yang penting tak ada isu lebihan kupon, tak cukup lagi ado! =)) 

Thus, I mark this 2 day-off as a self-reward post-hard work which I have done since a few weeks (months?) back, and the event's success as my birthday gift this year.

*pat on own shoulder* =))

P.s. So, the petite Jedi won the light sabre battle, huh Arty? Thanks for your petrol pour! *winks*

Still in my sweet 20(s) on 20.10.2010...


Countless gratitude to Allah... =))

Barakallahu lakuma

Without noticing, I've managed to memorize one hadith (alhamdulillah...), just by listening to Maher's songs  (Arabic-proficient, I am not...).  Found out that this song actually quoted a hadith last week after reading an IIUM student's blog post (thank you, sister!).  And a few days back, I figured out the meaning... =)


The Hadith:

Narrated Abu Huraira: When the Prophet congratulated a man on his marriage he would say,


Barakallahu lakuma, wa barakallahu ‘alaykuma, wa jamaa baynakuma fee khair

 “Allah bless for you your spouse, grant you blessing, and join you together in goodness.”

Reported by the Four, and Tirmidhi, Ibn Khuzaima, and Ibn Hibban graded it Saheeh.

Hati berbunga-bunga~ =)

Sempat dia berbasa-basi over the counter...
Memang tak nampak pun apa keperluannya...tapi bila dikenang-kenangkan balik, buat hati berbunga-bunga...

Kiranya betul la senyum tu pembuka kata...

=))

To be trusted or to be loved?

Ada yang kata, cinta tu lebih penting daripada kepercayaan
Tapi, di mana letaknya kepercayaan dalam percintaan?
Wujudkah cinta tanpa didasari kepercayaan?
Kekalkah cinta bila pudarnya kepercayaan pada seseorang?

Allah alone knows...

"...But you may hate a thing which is good for you, and love a thing which is bad for you.  And (remember) that Allah alone knows (all these things) but you do not know."

(al-Baqarah: 216)

10 things I hate about you

Courtesy: intanzalani.com

I hate the way you talk to me

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots and

the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick.

It even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you made me laugh,

even worst when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around and

the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,

not even close, not even a little bit,

not even at all.

p.s. Thanks Lisa for sharing this...how it reminds me of our zaman remaja riang, heheh.
I super loike! =))

If

 Tweet

If you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; 
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, 
But make allowance for their doubting too; 
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, 
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, 
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, 
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";


If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat

I lost count on how many times Mak mentioned his name during Raya.
And that doesn't include how many times she talked about him to me and how many times the name slipped out of her mouth for somebody else's.

But last Friday's conversation between she and a friend was a real shocker.
I was there too, listening.  Dumbstricken.

Reflexively, my mind did a quick recall.

A few months back, this friend asked me to come along to borrow something from him.

Dhuh Jid! Pick-up speed level Intel Celeron!

Hmm... :-|

Coconut Blossom

My most favourite delicacies for Eid this year.




Malam raya, my wee brother brought home 3 boxes full, order dengan kawan katanya.  Buka kotak...tengok rupa, cium bau, terus terkenang balik zaman sekolah rendah dulu...


OMG...Mak pernah buat kuih ni! Dan rasanya sangat nostalgic...lemak santan, wangi pandan... =P~




Just imagine, kat KL baru meletup orang buat jual, padahal for the 1st time kitorang makan, belasan tahun yang lalu...with recipe recommended by Cik Yam, my Singaporean aunty.

Mak dengan segera menyelongkar koleksi resipi dia.


Resipi hilang.




Raya pertama, dapat 3 versi resipi sekaligus: 2 from Cik Pah and 1 from Cik Yam (according to her, this kuih is really popular in Singapore).




Akhirnya, 200+ biji berjaya siap semalam. =))

Heartless

Don't blame me for being heartless


For it was your own doing, friend


Don't blame me for walking away


For you wasted the chances that I gave




I bleed, I rise, I move on


Leaving the dark trails behind




For once good, just let me have my peace of mind...

My 1st homemade mac and cheese

Tiba-tiba pagi tadi kecur sangat terkenangkan mac and cheese.  Terus mencari-cari resipi online, and my search for a few good ones berjaya jugak.  =))


Simple but yummy indeed.

  
Actually, I planned to have this for dinner, but it ended up being my late night snack.  Still hot from the microwave oven. 

And I had 2 portions of this much... =P

Eid Mubarak

Makanya dah confirmedlah kita raya Jumaat ni kan? =)


Dengan kesempatan yang ada ni,  Salam Aidilfitri kepada semua...tak kiralah yang jauh mahupun dekat, tua atau muda, yang lama atau baru je kenal...mohon maaf atas segala silap dan salah tutur kata mahupun perbuatan...

Apakah?

Dreamed of getting married to an indian guy who was (in that dream) also  a relative to 2 guys whom i knew well...Malays pulak tuh!

Apakah?

*spooky + trauma*
