Summary of 2016

Hye!

Actually I prefer a slide show for my summary of 2016 cause I have a lot of pictures and let the pictures do the talking. From the beginning I hoped that this year would be smooth, well.. Not that smooth though. The first quarter, Noir had his knee surgery. Demc to Prince court. Luckily Noir brother was there to help. I owe him big. It doesnt stop there, later on Noir got cervical spondylosis. This is consider as my highlight of 2016. Eversince he got it, we've been in and out of hospitals seeking consultations, options and medical treatments. This has challenged our relationship, putting us into a situation that me and Noir has never been. On our fourth year of marriage, the challenges came and becomes harder.

As for Aidil, he grows and learn new things each day. On november, we both can see him expressing himself differently. When he's mad, he started biting. Out of sudden he came to us and started kicking and clawing. What i can learn from this is that he just wanted attention. He doesnt have anyone else but us. He wanted all the attention that he can get. There are times that i loose my patience. Noir always there to make situations better. His level of patience is top notch. One of the reason why I love him. Aidil's getting smarter by the day. Every night before sleep, I always told myself that I need to try more harder to be the best for him. I do make mistakes. I regret and I wanted to improve. I always think back what have i done that day, all the things that is wrong and then what I can fix and make it better tomorrow. Being a mother is hard. You will feel down when you see other mother are better than you. Wishing that you could do the same but you can't. Difficult.

Somehow I feel that I don't try hard enough.

Improve. The thing that help me to move on.
Effort. An action to show that you are trying.
Tawakkal. Allah is always there for you.

If you don't understand then it is alright. Did not expect anyone to understand but myself. A lot has happened and i learn a lot now. New things, bad things, etc.

Hmm..., what else?

For 2017, I pray that it will be better for us. I hope that I will be better. Better Mother, better wife and daughter. Also if Allah knows that I am ready to have a second child, I will accept it with a blessed heart. Allah knows best. I trust Him. I should watched what I eat. My weight is off the roof. Another thing that i need to focus. I'm thirty now. I eat like I'm eighteen. I need to watch my weight. I need to control what I eat.  I have to focus more on fitness. Urgh.. 2016 ended like a blinked eye. And one more thing. I need to improve my relationship with Allah. My Creator. Noir told me, maybe the reason that I woke up every night is because Allah wanted me to talk to Him. Tahajjud. When you take care your solat, everything will fall into place. If you solat on time, even better. Imagine the rewards that you can get and not just pahala you know. So I guess that all I want and hoped for. I hoped that your 2016 ended like you intended to and your 2017 will be as you wanted.

Happy New Year !!

Assalamualaikum.

Hello!

Yeay, I got a little time to blog while waiting for Asar. It's December of 2016 now. Haha..How many months that i havent blog? According to my last post was July. So 5 including this month. Today i went to two weddings. Both just around the house. Well its wedding season. Many invites and thank you for that. Im having a hard time to choose what to wear since I have put loads of weight. Sigh.. actually I did made a pair of baju kurung for myself to wear this month and still I didnt wear them yet. (rolling eyes).

On the 30th, I have my cousin's solemnization and wedding reception on the bride side at Johor. Oh Wait! Yeay, Roadtrip to Johor, wooho! Me and Noir we're both excited actually about this trip. We have not had our holiday for this year yet. We don't mind cuti-cuti Malaysia because we have limited expenses. Somehow I feel that maybe we need this holiday to unwind and relax from all the episodes that we went through this year. A good and nice wrap for 2016. I have already started packing, can you believe it? Haha.. the trip is not for another week. I already gather some stuffs to put in the luggage. Reminds me that I have to prepare Aidil's bags in advance too. Don't want to miss anything. Especially the essentials. So for the Groom's side which is our side will be on the 7th of January 2017.

On the 8th, there will be Ammara Ayra's Cukur Jambul Ceremony at Rawang. It's my new born Niece, my bam bam's littler sister. I don't know what i'm going to wear. Ever since I put on weight, I always prepare what to wear before hand. I don't know why. Maybe after this I should blog more about my son. He's growing up fast and I think I better capture his growth. I'll blog about him in another time. Until then toodles!

One of those nights to remember

Hello!

I have to type it all down before it fades. I know I made some kind of pact that I would not write in the month of Ramadan as to respect and focus completely for this month. I guess I have to make an exception for this.

Last week, Nuar went breakfasting with his officemates at JW Marriot twice. Well, of course I wish that I could come but I can't. I'm not totally jealous about it because I know that he deserve it. So when he got home he told everything and I felt happy for him. So on the second time he went there, he came home and surprise me with two vouchers to breakfasting there. It made me happy. It expires until 3rd of July so we decided to use it today (2nd of July).

We started our day by going to the 'dentist' and guess who we met over there? It's (i hope i got her name right) Azean Mazuwan Sapuan (ala..yang masuk Gegar Vaganza tu..). At first I thought a doppelganger of her but it is really her. I dont want to be mistaken so yeah i just smile. She salam me and smile back. That's celebrity number one. aha!

After the dentist we went home to change our clothes. Nuar suggested that we should dressed up for this breakfasting. I just go with it. So I decided to wear my Bella Ammara's Tiana Jubah in dusty pink. Nuar decided to wear his H&M long sleeves shirt. I couldn't wait for raya so I wore Mimpikita's Fern Shawl in pink to pair them.

 

This is my first time going to Starhill Gallery. I have never set foot in here. Everything was an awe for me. When we arrived, we manage to bumped into Sultan Kelantan. He came through the main enterance lobby. Nuar went giddy and we went out the lobby for a while just to see his car. I like his License Plate number. It's in Jawi. His car? A white Bently. Fuhh.. not only the lobby filled with his bodyguards, they also holds a machine gun. We stopped, letting him make his way. A down to earth Sultan Kelantan. Looks dapper though. We tried to catch up onto him but he vanished out of thin air. So we decided to take a little walk to see Starhill Gallery was about. We can see why this place is suited for the riches. The luxurious boutiques and restaurants. Oh my.. I feel so kecik..I guess who shops there is really really rich. 

After that we went up to the sixth floor to settle into our seats. We took our food at the buffet spread. So many choices of food. Not only plenty it tastes really good. Worth every ringgit. Every bite I ate took me by surprise. I'm going here again next Ramadhan.

We take turns eating and went for our solat maghrib. I went first. The praying area was quite spacious but the toilet to take wuduk is a bit far and have to cross the male praying area. The toilet, becak but I can see the cleaners working hard not making it too wet. I went up to the six floor since the praying area is at the second/third floor. Of course I continue eating dessert with delicious teh tarik. Nuar said we can eat until 10:30pm. Yes, part of me said I want to stay there until it closed. haha

When we finish our Iftar, we went down and continue to discover the rest of Starhill. So the rest after this will be full of pictures.

And guess who I bumped into? Bumped into Vivvy Yusoff !! The highlight of the night. There's a story to it. Well, my side of the story.  It started when we finish our tour and decided to go to the middle of the lobby to take pictures. Table full of all kinds of flowers. Then I saw a lady holding a boy standing in front of the huge table of flowers. It's her. It's Vivvy. and Daniel. I got so excited like you saw something you like for a long time and it's in front of your eyes. I hopped. Thinking back I dont know why I hopped.( Rolling eyes..) Anyway, I wanted to confirm that's Vivvy, I kinda walk bit faster than I was and didnt manage to stop in time because vivvy was looking at me and we're close. I smiled and said "Sorry for startling you, didn't mean to.. I was just happy to see a familiar face". Urgh!

The excitement keeps growing I feel like my whole body is shaking. Tu la..happy sangat ish. Then V asked me "Buat apa kat sini ?" I answered her with haste. At that time I hate myself for being like that. Inside myself, I said "cool down!' and "what is wrong with you being like this?!" . I guess why I was like that because reading ProudDuck everyday, following her instagram and such, explains it. To see her upfront and talking to her were like amazing. Then after that Fadza (V's Husband) came carrying Mariam. He came out of thin air holding LV's paperbag right next to V's. I smiled at him and he kinda gave a half smile like "who is this creepy lady" haha. I understand because how I was at that time were awkwardly weird. Then V said she was waiting for her car. Then her car arrived and she want to salam me. Omg, she is soo down to earth. Manners. No matter how high you are, manners show who you really are. I was like "omg she wants to salam me". Then she make her way into her car with her family. What I like about V is that she's humble. Actually this was my second meeting her, my first time was at the airport at kfc.

  





















I feel bad about how I was, so I decided giving V a comment at her Instagram post. She replied. I slept well that night. haha . Thanks to Nuar for snapping the pic sneak-sneak..haha Alhamdulillah everything that happened to me tonight was perfect. All the moments. Thank You.

A Post While Aidil Sleeps

Well hello there~!

I know..I know.. It's been so long. So much for 'having a new laptop will right everyday' kind of spirit. So according to my last post it was January. Now it's the 2nd of June. I'm very excited that Ramadhan is around the corner! just in a few days! Since the hiatus, I have been doing a lot of things, experiencing a lot of things. Aidil's getting smarter everyday, Nuar had his knee surgery done and recovering. Alhamdulillah. As for me, I have become fatter. It's difficult for me to find the right size. My health, not ok. If you want to know, I'm struggling just to breath. I don't want to get on that.

I'm taking this opportunity by making Ramadhan the month of cleansing. Internally like emotionally, self esteem, self control, thought and feelings etc. I want it to be cleanse. What I hope and expect in this month of Ramadhan is that I can understand about myself and what I can be, learn something new and of course at the end I am better than I am before. I hope with Allah's will, all this I can achieve.

Nuar has been on leave for the past two months because of his knee surgery. Dah terasa biasa dia ada dengan kita untuk dua bulan. I learn a few things about him which I havent before. kengkadang tu tahap kesabaran tu diduga tapi ambil itu sebagai pengajaran, pengalaman sebagai seorang isteri. Everyday I learn new things. I must say that I am not good on dealing new things. When I feel like things got out of my hands, jadi cepat marah and melenting. Bila dah terlepas cakap tu nothing even one, feels good about it. Terasa sangat kagum dengan tahap kesabaran Nuar. Deep inside, I can feel that I'm not myself anymore. Hard to explain but if you can understand, I guess you have been there.
I want to change and improve. Tak banyak pun ,sikit pun jadilah.

I know I should have write about me shopping for my Raya clothes but instead this. Sorry. maybe next time. Hope your Ramadhan will be fruitful . Selamat Berpuasa !

This is how I blog...

Saturday Night Dinner : Jibby Chow

Ni Hao~

Today Nuar got to work and Aidil has a mild fever. I suspect that he's growing up and his both canine tooth is coming out. My dad suddenly gave a whatsapp message asking us if we have a family dinner tonight. My dad said that he prefer chinese muslim. So i take this chance suggesting Jibby Chow. It's new. Just opened a month ago. We search through google to find their menu and we didnt find anything. I search through instagram and manage to get a glimpse of what people ordered .

We left the house around 750pm and arrived there at 8:15pm. We have never set foot at this place. Its called Subang Courtyard. Everything was new to us. Luckily we manage to get a parking infront of the basement door. My mom can't walk far. 

Jibby Chow is next to Rakuzen and i n front of a japanese tidbits shop like shojikiya. I forgot the name. My brother already made reservations before coming. We got a table at the back of the restaurant. Love the simplicity of the interior. A good place to bring your family for a chinese cuisine.  Let me show you the interior :

So we're given the menu for us to order. Since there's no menu to be seen in the internet, let me share you the menu here:

There you go! Now you know what you'll want to order when you come here. My sister in-law, kak Liana made the order, she ordered different kind of food. From crabmeat fried rice to huge mongolian crabs! U should see the crabmeat on this crab.. So mouthfull

Our 4th Wedding Anniversary : Part One

Hello~!

Today marks our 4 years of our marriage.With Aidil at our side makes it even more better. We didn't planned anything. I'm just glad that today came. 4 years of fantastic marriage. Well, i'm not saying that my marriage is perfect. I feel that my marriage is perfect..there's a difference. Sure there's bumps here and there. We went through it together. I don't know the future but what i have now is totally blessed. Alhamdulillah. Praise to Allah.

Today is Thursday so its a working day for Nuar. As i said, we didn't planned anything but decided at the last minute to have our anniversary dinner tonight. When Nuar got home from work he surprised me with a beautiful red rose. My heart melts.

He always surprise me with a rose. I didn't expect it. He totally got me. I like suprises. I hugged him. My heart blooms. We got ready and we left the house at 8. We arrive at Sunway Pyramid at 8:30pm. Oh! I didnt mention the place.. We decided to have our anniversary dinner at Miami Grill. Eversince been wanting to try there. Miami Grill is Pitbull's. Dale. 

Since its our first visit, Nuar ordered the Nacho Burger and I ordered the Grilled Chicken Burger. 

I think i should have ordered their hot wings. Looks yummy. Maybe next time.

Aidil had spagetti beef bolognese. I can't stop sippin' my mojito. My first drinking a mojito. Now i know how it tastes like minus the alcohol. The service there is good. We even ask the waiter to take our picture.

Wow, I look fat in this picture. Haha. Well i guess the camera adds ten pounds. Whatever! 

Let me show you the interior 

Well, i never been to Miami so I assume all the cafe/restaurant over there looks like this. We only having our anniversary dinner tonight and Nuar said it will be continued this monday since he will be working this saturday. Yup Monday is Thaipusam, public holiday. 

So i guess the anniversary celebration doesnt stop here. Yahoo..! 

We had some fun by having a little photobooth session in the elevator on our way to our car. 

So wait for the part two k ? Goodnight everyone. 

Ayin & Syafiq Wedding

Hello~!

Looks like i'm falling behind on my posting. Sorry and i'm trying not to. 

Let me start on the day when i picked up my in-laws at Subang Airport. This is my mother in laws first flight. She never flew before. Ok my head is spinning from the coffee I've been drinking. We arrived around 11-ish , i think. Nuar parked our car at the valet because we think that its faster, easier and closer to the arrival hall. We went in to meet them and walk out. The plan was having lunch at Citta Mall because its closer from the Airport. We went there and it turns out that their basement parking got flooded and the remaining available parking already full. So we decided to go to Sunway Pyramid. Subang to Sunway took about 10 minutes.

Honestly, we wanted to bring our In-laws to Tony Romas for some steaks. We heard that my father in law had his last steak 20 years ago. We were so thrilled bringing them. Deep in my heart i hoped that they enjoyed themselves. I feel that they deserve to get treated  because of all the hardwork they have done. My in-laws are down to earth people to make ends meet. I feel lucky to have them as my In-laws. 

After lunch, we went to parkson to buy Ayin's wedding present. Not long after that we head straight to Rembau. Seremban packed jammed with cars so we took the inside road. When we arrived, it felt nice seeing all Nuar's relatives. Well you know, the wedding feeling all around you, relatives mingling, tents with colored drapes, the smell of bunga rampai. Love it. The weather was nice, warm and breezy.. I 

Everyone was getting ready as for the solemnization ceremony that night. We were given a homestay for our stay near around there. We got ready around Maghrib. I wore my new RM99 Tiana Jubah from Bella Ammara in Ivory Peach and paired it with my new Blushing Bride basic shawl from The Putri N Rex. 

I have another Tiana Jubah but in Maroon color given as a birthday present to me by Nuar. I couldnt wear that one because i can't fit into it 😣 

What a lovely night we had. The food was delicious. We went back to our homestay because Aidil was cranky and we missed the Malam Berinai 😕 . My In Laws come back around 2 in the morning. So the night passed and we all had breakfast together the next morning. We went to this one place. I forgot the name but it is known for its cendol. 

I had their mee soto and roti canai. They sell all different kinda of kueh. I like this kind of place. I feel homey. In front of this place is Padang Majlis Daerah Rembau. 

It's been a long time for us having breakfast like this. I love it. So we went home after. We got ready and also packed our stuffs. The wedding reception starts at 11:30am.

So for this Walimatul Urus I wore my Daisy DwiTone Jubah with my Lady Marmalade basic shawl from The Putri N Rex. 

When we arrived, already a lot of guests   were there. We helped ourselves to a plate full of briyani rice. Delicious. So around 1-ish, the newlyweds makes their entrance and to the pelamin. 

They went for thier makan beradab outside and cake cutting. Really love their baju pengantin..! 

I pray them a long time of happiness and have wonderful children. Amin. So around 3-ish we make our leave by saying our goodbyes and taking few pictures.

Barakallahu lakuma fil khair~

We made few stops on our way to the airport. Seremban and Dengkil RnR. We took our time since our in-laws flight back was at 9pm. We arrive at the airport at 6:30pm. We stayed there until they're on the plane. Bought dinner to go since we felt tired..
