Welcome home...MH17

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

Bertahanlah, wahai raksa, jangan kau terhenti, Berpautlah wahai nyawa, ini bukan mimpi, Saksikan dengan mata, Rasakan dengan jiwa, Kau sedang tinggi, Jauhnya kau terbang, Siapa sangka? Getir yang menghalang tak besar mana, Payah payah semalam, Moga mudah selama, Tiap apa yang mematah tegakmu, Tiap yang menolak, Tiap yang memijak-henyak, Biar di belakangmu, Jangan dikenang, Moga dibuang dendam dan sayu, Tuhan, Jangan kau izin aku lupa, Jangan kau biarkan aku mendepang dada, Pasakkan hatiku pada kaki, Paksakan ku tunduk sehingga mati.

- Terbang Tunduk : Fynn Jamal -

Kepulangan yang telah lama dinantikan...........welcome home.

P/s : Rasanya tak perlulah untuk mempersoalkan berkabung itu boleh atau tidak. Perkataan berkabung itu pada saya hanyalah satu istilah supaya semua rakyat Malaysia tak kira bangsa dan agama mudah untuk memahami bahawa hari ini merupakan hari untuk kita mengingati dan memberi PENGHORMATAN terakhir kepada mangsa-mangsa juga tanpa mengira bangsa dan agama mereka  yang terkorban dalam tragedi menyayat hati ini. Bukanlah bermaksud berkabung itu perlu sampai tahap meratapi atau tidak redha dengan qada' dan qadar Allah...tidak sama sekali.

1 Syawal 1435H

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Firstly, alhamdulillah for another chance to another round of Ramadhan. May we all be blessed with more and more coming Ramadhan. Ohhh...how I wished that we get a full month break from work during Ramadhan just to focus ourselves doing ibadah every single minutes that we had to achieve more pahala.

Secondly, I am grateful for being able to celebrate Raya moderately. With Palestinian people in Gaza being killed everyday especially in the holy month of Ramadhan and, without any chance to celebrate the victory after fasting in the month of Ramadhan, it just felt terrible to be extra happy when our Muslim brothers and sisters and especially the children are no longer able to find peace on this day.

But anyway, Raya holiday has always been waiting for. This is the only time in a year that most of us get a loooong holiday in kampung. A time worth spending with families all day long. A chance to rekindle some things that have been missing due to distance or lack of communications. A day where children are too happy to wear their baju kurung and baju melayu and songkok and collect duit raya and last but not least, the day to take compulsory family potrait at the same spot over and over again :)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir Batin

Behind the scene.............

Anti-sosial lagi!!

Salam.

Ada kejadian tak diingini berlaku baru-baru ni. Takdela tak diingini sangat pun, Cuma kejadian tu menyebabkan dilema yang berpanjangan je.

Ceritanya, pada suatu hari tetiba ada orang add aku kat dalam satu grup whatsapp ni….grup jiran tetangga. Yang lebih menyedihkan aku sendiri pun tak kenal si grup admin tu…hahaha. Teruk kan! Dia, siap save aku punye number tu.

Tambah menyedihkan, out of 16 (and counting…) orang dalam grup tu, 6 orang je aku kenal…bahaha. Nampak noo la aku ni anti-sosial. Dulu anti-sosial pasal mengandungkan kembar. Tak larat nak klua macam-macam. Sekarang, anti-sosial sebab nak kena jaga kembar la pulok…hihi. Banyak betul alasan. Yela kan, kat rumah pun mana la sempat nak layan henpon. Kekadang henpon pun tak tau mana aku letak. Daripada dok layan henpon baik layan si kembar. Dah ler masa dengan anak-anak sangat terhad. Nanti tak sempat nak nikmati every moment pembesaran diorang. Masa pun sekarang makin singkat. 24 jam sehari kali 2 hari weekend tu apa la sangat boleh buat bila kerja rumah berlambak. Masa untuk rehat pun takde.

Masalahnya jiran-jiran terdekat aku iaitu yang sebelah rumah, yang depan rumah yang selalu aku dok chit chat sambil sidai kain angkat kain takde la pulok dalam grup tu. So daripada saat iolls kena add sampai lerr saat dok taip post ni, iolls tak pernah bersuara walau satu perkataan pon. Malu!

Tapi aku memang salute la diorg yang memang born friendly sebab walaupun tak kenal, deyolls boleh chit chat dengan senang hati macam dah memang kenal je.Haisyy!! Nape la aku ni pemalu sangat.

Nak beranikan diri say Hi atau mencelah pun macam dah tak berapa relevant dah sekarang…haha. Sebabnya orang dah sampai Paris dah kita baru nak kenalkan diri! OMG!! Orang kata berdiam diri itu lebih baik, tapi dalam kes ni I don’t think so.

Jadi, apakah langkah seterusnya? Quit and exit grup??? Oh, tidak sama sekali. Itu sungguh kurang ajar namanya. Ntahlaaa. Let times do the talking for now kot. Iolls akan muncul bila-bila jelah nanti…muahaha.

The misadventure of the twins

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

I once expected that after the birth of our twins, there would be a lot of dramas taking place in our household. Well, yes it is! And this time around, this drama deserves some place in this blog as a written history.

Was spending some quality times with Aisy on Saturday while Amsyar was asleep in between the never ending house chores. I think that's why people called it QUALITY TIMES, kan since we got to spend very limited times with our kids especially mothers, although weekend was supposed to be a day to rest our mind and body after 5 days working in the office. Sad but true, it is by far too impossible for mothers to just sit and relax unless you got some assistants to finish your "responsibilities". But anyway, that was what mothers do, so just swallow it even at times you'd feel helpless and felt like nobody understand how exhausted you were. No!! Not complaining. Blame my hormones for I have been having mood swing and bad temper since last week. PMS!!! Whatever it is, no matter how hard a situation can be, alhamdulillah for another tiring day. At least everyone and everything in our household is well.

Okay! Back to the drama. Gave Aisy magic pen for him to conteng-conteng buku tulis. Konon nak improve motor skills...haha. Then, turned around for merely 5 secs to pay attention to Nadhirah. By that time Aisy wasn't in his position anymore. Though I wasn't looking at him, I knew he was running somewhere. Suddenly, whether Ashif or Nadhirah screamed "Ummi!!! Aisy tuuuu!"

Toleh ke belakang cari Aisy and all we can see was this........

Terlambat sudahhh!!

How could you, Aisy, did this to your twins!! Couldn't help crying and laughing at the same time. Make-up remover habis, tried to use wet wipes and soap tapi tak boleh gosok kuat-kuat takut sabun masuk mata so at the end of the day there were still some light stain. Off to pasar malam with that commando face and glad that nobody noticed or was it me who didn't noticed people was looking? Maybe, since we were used to people looking at us anywhere we go and I have been somekind of ignorance human being by now. You know what I meant by people looking at us, right? Not because we are celebs of course...haha but because of the curious case of the twins. So, we often get those amazed and unbelievable looks and those same Q....Twins ke? But, still those looks, smiles and Q never bothered me because they make me feel how lucky I am for having twins. Awww.....thanks so much for being some sort of unofficial life support in taking care of these 2 little people. 

Makan-makan at Paksu Restaurant

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

Previous entry I did some story telling about Paksu Restaurant in Beserah, Kuantan. Happened to be in Beserah for a meeting regarding one of company's project in Setiu, Terengganu. After the meeting the shrimp hatchery owner where the meeting was held treated us lunch in Paksu Retaurant. Mula-mula masuk tu rasa cuak jugakla sebab chinese restaurant tapi since klien yang Melayu pun dah biasa makan situ and memang restoran ni hanya serve seafood je, so takdela rasa was-was. And dekat website dia pun ada cakap halal.

The location pun just nice, mengadap Laut China Selatan. Menu hari tu agak banyak. Ikan kerapu masak stim, kangkung goreng belacan, baby kailan masak apa tak tau...haha, sori. Hmmmm...apa lagi ye. Ohhh, ayam goreng tepung with sweet sour sauce, sotong goreng tepung and my most favaourite, seafood and mushroom in pumpkin with pumpkin fritters. As I told you before, ni first time makan pumpkin fritters. Sedap sangat. Biasa kalau makan labu, masak lemak je. The truth is, nama menu tu sendiri reka sebab tak tau apa nama betulnya...hahaha. Dahla satu gambar pun tak sempat snap sebab segan depan klien punya pasal.

Restoran ni jugak sebenarnya menghidangkan exotic seafood menu. Dan semestinya fresh. Exotic seafood ni semuanya dah tentula imported. Ada French crab, siput belalai a.k.a geoduck, Boston lobster, Australia lobster and fresh Canada Oyster antaranya. Servis ok je walaupun ada baca review dekat Foursquare kata servis teruk and macam-macam la yang negatif. Mungkin sebab yang bagi review tu pergi tak kena masa kot. Time lunch memang tak ramai orang lebih lagi weekdays. Memang masa tu customer kita orang je. Makan pulak sambil mengadap laut kan, lagi la heaven rasanya. 

Tapi, nak warning jugak. Compare dengan Tg. Lumpur, makan kat sini agak mahal la. Kena sediakan sekurang-kurangnya dalam RM200++ kalau setakat order seafood biasa-biasa. Kalau order exotic seafood maknanya kenala sediakan lebih lagi dalam poket. Rasa tak nak bayar cash, credit card pun boleh, takde masalah asalkan tak decline:)
