Goshhh…sorry for not updating my blog for the past few days. I was extremely busy and am still busy as I type this. I’m in a rush, about to attend meeting at my customer’s office in few hours time. Thus, can’t really concentrate on writing an entry.  Well, am supposed to update about my raya preparation today. Tapi tk jadi sbb kene attend the meeting, mmg potong stim la.

I snapped lots of piccies on a day before raya. Tapi mcm tk sempat nk letak sekarang. Tonite la eh? Hehe. So, before tunggu I upload the piccies here. Let’s play a game. Hee. Haku suka la kan buat game-game merapu ni.

Ok here goes, those yg dapat teka 3 jenis gambar(ataupon dalam kata lain, gambar apa la yg I ambil) yg akan I upload malam ni akan dapat hadiah . I will publish banyak gambar la but as long as you dpt teka 3 betul, you akan dpt hadiah Sila jgn mengharapkan x-box or ps3 yerr.

Ok…rules dia;

1. Sorang boleh teka sekali sahaja
2. Utk setiap tekaan, cuma boleh teka 3 jenis gambar sahaja (tk boleh buat list panjang berjela)
3. 2 org pertama yg berjaya teka 3 jenis gambar tu dengan betul akan dpt hadiah

Ok you guys main la dulu yer, ehe. Hari ni I busy sket, jawab komen pon lambat kot nnt. So, happy Tuesday!

————————————————————————————————-

Hahaha….boleh I salah hari. Adoi. Meeting esok laaa rupanya. Pening pening. Ok la ni gambar-gambar yg menjadi tekaan ramai itu. I let u guys judge ur answer on ur own la yer. Haha. Sbb so far tkder saper yg berjaya teka ketiga-tiga gambar betul. Tapi yg hampir-hampir dah ada la. Oleh itu, kasik cerita sket mcm mana tekaan u yg tersasar sket tu boleh relate dgn my gambar. Haha.

Mari tgk gambarrrrr. [eh cop gambar tk edit lagi...tunggu sat naaa]

Sampai nk rebah ajar Ichiro tgk kamera, tanah jugak la yg dia suke nk tgk.

At first I thot I wanna update my blog after raya hols. Means next Monday you can expect new entry from me. But then again, masa tu mesti cerita raya dah basi. Next week dah start citer open house dah makan-makan sampai pengsan. Hihi.

So sebelum citer first raya ni basi, baiklah saya update blog. Neway, kesian to frens yg duduk overseas, sure sangap tgk semua blog cuti takder new update. Hehe. So marilah semua-semua readers blog org lain, masuk blog saya baca entry raya eh. Haha.

Ehe, tudung I manjang la senget. Cane la org leh pakai tudung elok-elok lawa-lawa…

Siap-siap nk pose bagai nk rak..

Wah lemak ku…tepat dan jitu..sile jgn betulkan monitor masing-masing

Tahun ni raya, tk dapat nk amik gambar full family. Bersepah-sepah. My sis dua-dua beraya dirumah mertua utk first day raya. So end up saya dgn my little family posing cam nk rak depan rumah. Berhenti kejap bila ada budak dating beraya. Hehe. Pastu sambung balik. Gambar amik punye la banyak kali. Byk yg spoil. Kalau tak ichiro yg tk pandang kamera, mesti I punye lemak enterframe lelebey. So kire tu gambar rosak la. Sebaik kamera high end, kalau tk dengan kamera-kamera I cakap rosak sbb terlalu berjaya menangkap lebihan lemak I dengan tepat dan jitu.

Happy raya dgn baby

My mom..aka cikgu fatimah AF , No? Hihi...

Tahun ni mak punye rendang daging and ayam sangat terbaek. Mak saya tu tiap-tiap tahun beger resepi rendang dia. So dh berapa byk kali raya dah, mesti rendang tu cam ala-ala jer rasa dia. Haha. So tahun ni mmg terbaek, harap-harap mak tk lupa la apa yg dia dh beger kt resepi tu. Saya nk belajar buat rendang,  nnt saya ada rumah sendiri buat open house raya, boleh la try buat rendang. Hehe cita-cita mmg dashyat, nnt sampai masa, import rendang ready made dari tesco jugak. Hehe. Eh u all nk resepi rendang tak letak kt blog? Rendang leceh la nk letak blog, sure berpeluh-peluh saya nnt nk amik gambar rendang tu step by step. So tkyah lah.  Malas. Hehe.

Mom and Bro

Raya tahun ni agak teratur jugak la. Rumah tk bersepah-sepah dgn icing cake terpalit sana sini. Sbb mak dh bukak markas baru kt belakang rumah. So buat kueh raya semua kt dalam markas la. So rumah depan tk terusik. Mak pon tk masak sup tulang tahun ni. Ada pro and con la tkder sup tulang ni. Con mestilah tk dpt makan kan, sbb tk buat, pro dia plak haku tk payah nk berkungfu dgn axion dekat sinki sbb nk sental lemak-lemak lembu yg melekat kt pinggan dan yg melekat kt langit-langit mulut saya jugak. Huhu.  Lagi satu kalau makan lemak-lemak ni , maka membiak la lagi lemak-lemak yg sedia ada. So, saya bersyukur la sebenarnya tkder sup tulang ni. Hihi.

Selamat Hari Raya dari Kami Sekeluarga!

Raya..raya jugak. Bisnes Usana pon tetap mcm biasa. Saya berjayalah jual usana dekat makcik-makcik saya. Hajat hati tkder la nk jual sebenarnya sajer nk cerita pasal bisnes baru saya, tiba-tiba makcik kenal pulak usana pastu terus nk order. Eh saya apa lagi la kan, rezeki raya ni. Minggu depan best la dpt angpow raya dari Usana. Hehe. Eh bukan minggu depan jer, setiap minggu pon la dpt angpow. Saper kata dah besar tk dpt angpow?

Hello, saya baby raya

Cerita raya ni mmg la panjang lagi. Takper saya sambung cerita raya tahun depan la yer. Lebih kurang jer nnt ceritanya. Lepas ni saya update pasal preparation malam raya pulak yer

Selamat Berhari Raya! Makan-makan lah banyak-banyak yer, lepas tu beli nutrimeal raya dgn I ok

Sorry, I was too tired yesterday and nearly collapse due to lack of sleep, thus no pic today. Ever since I started Usana business and having a newborn baby at the same time, sleep is luxury to me. Now, with me back to work, things start to take its toll on me.

And to make thing worst, it was really a challenge to find a perfect “baju raya” for 3 months old baby. My husband and I were exhaustedly going in and out from one shop to another. Apparently, there are only lots of romper for newborn and 3 months old baby.  We don’t want romper. We have many of it already. We are looking for something different. Even Baby Gap also doesn’t have it. Ada la jugak yg kiterorg carik, but yg tu mmg dah ada.

Lucky, Pumpkin Patch seems to carry what we want in the boutique, thus I bought 2 shirts for Ichiro and it cost me RM140! Danggggg. I tried to calm myself. Ok, setahun sekali jer.  Pejam sebelah mata bayar. Then we thought of scouting for cheaper pants, so we think Jusco must be offering baby pants lot cheaper than Pumpkin Patch. Minutes later, I found that I was wrong. Cesss.  And plus again, susah giler nk cari size Ichiro. Menyesal, baik I borong semua from Pumpkin Patch, takder susah-susah haku nk tawaf OU to from one end to one end.

And another malang story, I couldn’t find the hard case bag and kasut Charles & Keith yg I nak semua dah tkder size. Aduh kuciwak! At the end, I manage to buy a pair, but not the color and pattern that I desire. I bought it just utk sekadar ada kasut nk pakai raya. I beli kasut yg sangat practical iaitu boleh disarung dan ditanggal dgn senang. I have bad experience wearing high heels peep toes during Hari Raya. First susah betul nk pakai and nk tanggal. Lepas tu blister tk hengat. I learnt my lesson through hard way I guess, hence now am not going to repeat the same mistakes. Yes true, peep toes sgt comel apatah lagi killer heels, but for me it can only be worn on certain occasion yang acara utama adalah duduk-duduk sahaja. Thus, I rasa mcm membazir. I want something that I could wear to office as well. Something that made for walking comfortably.

Smlm I janji nk tunjuk sneak preview right for our Raya clothing kan? Maaflah yer para hadirin hadirat, saya dah terlepek balik from OU, tido pon tk cuci muka. Almost passed out. Sbb pening kepala gila-gila. After sahur pon , kepala noneng noneng lagi. And this morning bangun lambat la pulak. Hehe.  Tgk gambar raya jer la.

I think there are some of us yg dah mencanak nk balik raya tonight [tapi pastu cakap I yg sawan kemaruk nk raya]. Wishing you guys a blast holiday and fantastic raya time with family. To all my customer yg nak lose weight, jgn lupa amik Nutrimeal & supplement di pagi raya, utk elak u all makan mcm tk cukup tekak. Drive carefully and please don’t spread H1N1 virus to your relatives and families. Wear mask if you need to. My husband and I would love to apology to all our beloved blog readers for our wrong deeds [if any], I hope whatever I’d wrote on my blog should not be taken personally. I’ve tried my best not to hurt anyone unless when I felt that I need to make a point and stand on it.

Maaf Zahir Batin kepada semua. Terima kasih banyak-banyak kerana membaca blog saya, dan kamu semua really make my day – everyday

Bila nak raya ni…

Lagu raya makin menjadi-jadi kt radio ni. Tengok kertas kerja pon dah macam kueh sampret ni. Adehh lambat lagi ker nk jumaat. Tk sabar nk zasssss balik kampung. Hehe. Tapi sebelum nk berjoli raya, I kene la siapkan kerja office ni dulu, kalau tak nnt masa main bunga api, roh boss I muncul pulak main bunga api sesama. Potong stim sudahhh.

Mak I dah sentap, I balik hari Jumaat. Dia kata lambat betul. Rendang tk masak lagi, kelapa tk parut, kacang tak goreng lagi, nasi tak himpit lagi..and etc. Wahhh mcm sebatu list kerja nk kene buat.  Dulu kak along I selalu ngelat, dia balik kalau tk malam raya or pagi raya. So dia tk yah buat keja apa2. Semua dh siap. Ngelat kan? I la terkangkang basuh simen sorang-sorang. Tkder la basuh sgt, main air jer lebey.

Mak kata tahun ni org datang takbir dah tak nak kasik makan kueh raya dah or mee goreng. Kali ni mak nk buat cupcakes and letak coklat bole sepak kt atas cupcakes. Wah mak I, tk ingat-ingat.  Raya ni mak I mmg beraya dgn set baking baru. Oven baru, and segala pejadah semua baru.

Hari tu drop emak kt kedai barang-barang buat kek dekat Melaka, then kiterorg gi bawak Ichiro cucuk dekat klinik. Tiba-tiba mak call, cakap duit tk cukup nk pinjam duit. I pon ok la kan. Sekali pergi nk jemput dia kt kedai…mak oiiiiiiiii total RM1k. Rasa nk pitam. Buat kek apa sampai 1k? Ish ish ish……

Hari ni nk pergi One Utama. Yayy! Nk pergi cari baju Ichiro, shoes for me and bag camera. I nk beli beg yg hardcase tu la. Mana nk cari eh? Alaa yg mcm beg robot, depan dia keras cam kotak tapi badan dia tk la keras. Mcm stylo la beg itu. Ramai org buat isi diaper and botol susu. Hehe. I nk isik camera I la. Kat OU I tatau la mana nk cari. Ada ker eh? Harap diberi bantuan.

June, I tkleh sabar nk carik beg tu kt Baby Jaya, I nk hari ni jugak. Hehe. Knowing me…I mmg lah sangat “penyabar” orangnya.

Yay esok update gambar baju raya Ichiro dgn baju melayu imran eh. Harap-harap Ichiro hensem raya tahun ni. Ehe.

I tk sabar nk main bunga api ni. Pastu sangkut kt bunga-bunga mak I, konferm kene simbah dgn kuah kacang mak I lopeh tu. Hehe.  Dulu masa kecik, sangkut kt pokok bunga puding mak sampai berjelaga, kalau nasib baik jelaga jer la, kalau nasib tak baik daun tu sure lobang-lobang mcm kene tembak. Lepas tu kt simen mak I, mesti ada tulisan putih hasil kreativiti menulis menggunakan bunga api…”Ayu waz ere” . Layan ok..satu badan bau belerang. Hehe.

Kalau korang nk lagi layan main bunga api, amik bunga api belang-belang putih merah tu. Then patah2 kan dia kecik-kecik. Kumpul setempat. Pastu campak api. Kaw wa cakap lu. Poofff! Meletop. Itu dh cukup power la bagi I kan yg tk pandai main meriam buluh. Ehe.

Waaaaaa nk balik kampung sekarang!!

Dah nak raya!

Wow tinggal berapa hari jer lagi nak puasa kan? Cepat betul. Tapi ok la saya steady jer. Steady la kan sbb tk der apa nk buat, tkder buat kueh, tkder jahit baju, tkder buat lemang, tkder pasang langsir, tkder beli pinggan mangkuk akopal…saya mmg pandai beraya jer. Saya rasa, saya patut start la belajar-belajar nk buat persiapan raya. Takut nnt, Ichiro dh besar dia pon tk perasan dah raya, sbb mak dia rilek jer main internet jual Usana di malam raya.Ehe.

Mak saya pulak dah sentap-sentap. Dia mmg mcm tu. Setiap kali raya jer sentap.  Mana tk sentap, tahun ni buat biskut raya guna oben baru. Tk pas lagi nk guna oben tu, so kueh raya cam ala-ala jer la. Mak apa lagi stress la kan.

So disebabkan mak saya sentap, resepi lauk terpaksa dibatalkan sehingga diberitahu kelak. Ehe.

Mak saya stress-stress pon dah berbalang-balang biskut raya dia dh buat. Nnt nk bakar kek lapis pulak. Wah dahsyat. Berapa org la yg nk makan semua-semua ni? Sampai macam mak nk bakar satu gunung? Takper semangat oben baru kot. Ehe.

Pelita raya belum pasang lagi. Tkper tu nnt dh dekat-dekat nk raya baru best pasang ramai-ramai. Tahun ni lampu kelip-kelip (running light) tkder saper nk beli or pasang. Tgk la nnt kalau rajin, saya beli. Ichiro nyer baju raya tk beli lagi. Tapi daddy dia dh beli songket raya, mommy dia dh beli baju kurung manik raya. Hihi. Takper Ichiro cool. Tkder baju raya pon tetap comel [alasan tanak beli]. Hihi.

Hmm kasut raya saya kene beli jugak. Ok minggu depan nak tgk Charles & Keith la. Harap-harap ada jualan lambak. Kasut Ichiro? Err dia kene pakai kasut ke?

Hishh lambat lagi la nk buka. Mak masak sedap ker petang ni eh? Dari tadi asik bakar kueh raya. Tkkan nak berbuka dgn biskut raya kot?  Dah nk hujung-hujung puasa ni mula la rasa cam kebuluran. Sebaik ada Nutrimeal. Sekarang ni saya kene amik 2 scoop utk tahan lapar sampai berbuka, dulu amik 1 scoop pon dah mantap.

Kepada Farihah, yg dari 110kg dah turun 102kg sejak amik Usana. Ha tahniah. Saya jeles sbb berat kamu turun lagi pantas dari saya. Grrrrr. Tahun ni saya beraya dengan perut la jawabnya. Ahhhh menyampahhhhhhhhh!!!

Ok la, saya nk tido kejap. Nnt bangun dah buka. Bestest.

Tahun ni balik kampung sayeeeee…yippie!

Yayyyy! Saya lahir jer dah nk raya dah! Saya pun macam mommy saya, suka hari raya.

Raya nk dekat dah! Yayy! I mmg raya freak ok. Sbb tu dekat my blog ni ada kategori Hari Raya. Heheh. I tk pernah jumpa org yg buat kategori Hari Raya dekat blog diaorg. Nampak sgtl la I mmg gayat beraya. Saper tak yer tak?

Da best part, tahun ni raya pertama kiterorg akan beraya dekat kampong I moncheh, nogori sombilan. Double yay!! The hubster yg came out with the idea ok. Bukan I sugun dia ajak balik my kampong dis year. I was quite surprised sbb last year dah raya kt kampong I jugak. Huhu.

We had to adjust the rotation, since we intend to bring Darwis to KL bit longer. So we decided to be at kampong few days earlier before raya until first raya and drive back to KL on second raya and spend about 4 days in KL with Darwis so, my in laws can play puas-puas dgn ini budak kicik comel.

Dear Mommy and Daddy, jgn songlap duit raya Ichiro yer.

Hahaha. I suka nyahhhh.  Yeahhaaaaaa. I can play bunga api and pelita raya as usual. Dari sebulan sebelum puasa, I dah dok remind my mom beli minyak tanah for the pelita raya. Be warn, my raya won’t be complete without bunga api belang-belang merah putih / besi and pelita raya.

For me tanpa bunga api and pelita, it’s like hari raya tanpa takbir raya.

Kadang-kadang saya suka jugak nagis. Sajer kasik mommy and daddy panik. Baru thrill sket.

Anddddd of course, this year will be extra special sbb ada Ichiro. Wah I’m so blessed with all the good things happened to me, Alhamdulillah.  I dah beli baju raya …ehem.  Benci la, semua baju tk semuat. Demmmit. Tobat tanak gemukkkksssss. I bought a songket raya for my husband as well. I wanted to buy yg mahal sket around RM500, but my husband insists to have the cheaper ones .

Dia kata tk suka yg mahal tu, sbb tk berkenan. But I knew dia bukan tk berkenan tapi maybe dia rasa too expensive. Tanak bazir. I felt differently. As long as I can make him happy, I don’t mind to stretch my budget. Sbb husband I ni mmg mat smart.  Dia mmg ada collection baju melayu, baju batik and songket yg melampau. Hehe. Kalau dia Nampak org gi kenduri pakai t-shirt round neck, mmg sebakul dia kutuk org tu, sbb tk hormat majlis kenduri org katanya.

Ok lah, I really need to stop. Start from today onwards I akan sgt-sgt busy since my new project in Pasir Gudang started already. Yesterday was the kick off meeting. Thus, expect short entry from now on.

Alamak lagu Sudirman la dekat radio. Syahduuuu.
