Al-fatihah....

Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan didalam golongan para syuhada dan solihin..Insyaaallah....

The last time i met him, about a year ago...during my sis wedding. I was not able to see him last weekend, was in OT when he came to visit my family ....
It silenced me a bit....hanya Allah yang tahu apa yang terbaik baginya....Al -Fatihah

I know that my dad masih sedih dengan pemergian arwah adiknya....

Al Fatihah to my dearest grandmother

Friday, June 3, 2011 - 1 Rejab 1432....8 years since Arwah nenek left us for good..
Al- Fatihah to my dear nenek who is very dear to my heart, who will always be a dear nenek to my siblings.

Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atasnya. Amin.

Teman Setia

No one else, but only him. He was there for me... sepanjang masa on my wedding day :) Rindu sangat dekat dia. Dah 2 tahun since the last time i met him. How are you my boy? " Haunty " miss you so much.....
1st person to be in my room.....
Pengkritik terhebat.....

Even duduk kat main table! tak pernah dibuat orang.....
Sedih sangat tak dapat duduk dekat main table.....

Told ya....sampai potong cake pun ade kepala dia. Nasib baik the first cake cutting dia takde......nak pegang tangan skali tu!
Some people thought that i dah ade anak. Kurang asam betul :(
Finally, my photo with friends pun budak kecik ade terselit jugak! He's everywhere :) but i don't mind at all. Dia tak pernah merasa semua ni before this and he was so excited on that day.

Yesterday my aunt told me that the last time he saw this boy, he asked my aunt " mane ibu? Ala' nak jumpa Ibu. Bile ibu dengan atuk nak ambik Ala'. Oh my god, rasa nak meleleh air mata dengar! Mesti dah lama dia tunggu we all ambik dia. Tak sangka Ala' still ingat dekat our family. I wish i can still be with him. Missing you so much botak boy :(

Kan Dah Kate....

Hehehe first thing when i jumpa my mum this morning, my mum said that my dad tanya dia berapa my hubby beli "mesin" ( Wii ) tu coz dia nak beli so that he can practice his golf. Haha dah agak dah bapak ku sorang ni. My hubby dah boleh baca dah niat dihati dia tu. Alasan nak practice golf, cakap jer la ayah dah naik syiok main bende alah tu dengan Khai! hehe....so Khai will come to his house every weekend :) Alahai ayah ku sorang ni......
nak bagi ayah pressie ni ker for his birthday...hmmm akan ku fikirkan.

Wiiiii

I had so much fun today. Even though plan nak keluar menghabiskan duit semua tak jadi but still had so much fun. This is all because of this dude....

( once upon a time...budak ni kene tipu...heheheeh )

We had breakfast together as usual with my parents at our favourite kedai mamak but he already had his breakfast at home and masuk jer kedai mamak he said " i don't need roti canai and also tosei..." ( tosei is my mum's favourite! ) dengan seriousnnyer dia tengok my mum. Just because dia dah kenyang so tak heran dengan we all makan.

Half a day we all menghabiskan masa with this little guy. I wasn't actively "menginvolvekan" diri actually but just jadi cheerleader kat blakang watching this little dude vs. my hubby and also my dad (playing wii sports ). So happy to see them especially my dad main golf dengan kain pelekat dia, pukul macam real jer and nasib baik tak tercampak the Wiimote tu! Bile kalah, he keeps blaming the machine...ade ke patut. Will try to upload video Khai dengan penuh semangat main boxing but nobody can gelakkan dia or else you'll be in trouble : ). He must be the winner dalam semua game. Payah macam ni....

Great Nite but Not So Great Food

Had birthday dinner for my mum few weeks ago at Tony Romas, Pavillion. Too bad, i would rather go to Chilis or TGIF after this for steaks. Makanan malam tu tak best sangat i would say...not sure why, on a weekday maybe? takkan kot. Only my sister yang happy bangat with her Ribeye Steak. The rest ...macam boring jer.

Honestly I didn’t really enjoy my food that nite. Overall, quite disappointed with the meal due to high expectations. Eventhough this is my 2nd time but it seems unlikely I will return to Tony Roma’s again unless i wanna have The Ribeye Steak, that's it. Service malam tu pun slow yang amat as if like ramai cutomers. Padahal takde customer sangat pun. But i like the cheese cake from Nikko Hotel that my sister, Yan bought for my Mum. Sedap bangat! But for my birthday, you should buy me cheese cake from San Francisco Coffee, woh demand pulak!!

Setahun Berlalu

Masa berlalu terlalu pantas. Rasa seperti baru semalam arwah atuk pergi buat selama-lamanya. Hari ini genap setahun arwah pergi meninggalkan kami semua. Terasa rindu sangat pada arwah. Tiada lagi kedengaran suara arwah mengaji setiap hari menjelang subuh. Tiada lagi gelak ketawa arwah menyakat cucu cicitnya. Kenangan selama 28tahun bersama arwah akan terpahat di ingatan buat selama-lamanya.

Semoga arwah atuk ditempatkan bersama-sama umat islam yang soleh dan rohnya dicucuri rahmatmu ya Allah s.w.t.

Aidilfitri 2007, kenangan bersama arwah atuk buat kali terakhir.

Terasa terlalu rindu beraya disisinya di pagi Aidilfitri....

Dalam kenangan , Haji Hussein Bin Ibrahim ( 31 Julai 1923 - 8 Mac 2008 ). Al- Fatiha......

Happy Birthday Mak....

If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
If I could give you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

With all my love
on your birthday...17~02~09

Happy Birthday to YOU

On your birthday I wish you much pleasure and joy;

I hope all of your wishes come true.
May each hour and minute be filled with delight,
And your birthday be perfect for you!

Happy 33rd Birthday Sista' !

Belated Birthday Dinner for Khai

We went to tupai-tupai for khai's belated birthday dinner last nite. Hahaha bukannyer ikut selera dia tapi ikut selera we all yg dah tua tua ni. The steamboat buffet to me biasa biasa saje. Not bad la banyak choice jugak for that price. RM 28nett if i tak silap, murah la kirenyer tu . But i kinda like it. The little boy tak makan banyak pun, just mushroom and that thing pun my sis kene rendam dalam air kosong since kuah tom yam tu pedas sangat for him. " it's hot!" sambil muncungkan bibir dia yang pink tu! isshh geram! since we all tiba , khai duk sibuk makan kacang sambil minum air kosong tak berhenti! he likes it but at the same time peanuts tu agak2 pedas for him, tu yang dok balun air kosong tak henti! Penuh jugak tempat ni during weekdays and ade group buat raya celebration kat sini. Senang i guess, tak payah susah susah panggil caterer. Just datang makan jer! Ingatkan bawak Khai datang sini so dia boleh tengok all the animals yang ade kat sini like last time we all bawak Alaq. But too bad, it seems that semua burung-burung, kambing and ayam belanda ( i think ) dah takde. Mati kot! hehehe, yang tinggal cume iguana jer. Khai even told my mum that he is in the zoo! tengok tempat tu gelap and banyak pokok jer agaknyer, tu yang dia duk pikir zoo tu!
I just LOVE to see this! cute sangat. He was kinda sleepy semalam but when we told him that the birthday cake is coming...he was so excited. Tak sabar-sabar tanye mane. Suke giler makan cake. Especially cheese and chocolate cake. Lain-lain tolak tepi. Terus mate dia bukak besar-besar! And He was on Sugar-High after that. Gelak tak berhenti, pukul meja pastu gelak-gelak. Me? don't get it! but he is so adorable!

One day...

I just love these photos....

serious conversation huh? between grandpa & khai after few weeks missing each other..hehe

can i sleep? i'm tired...oh yes, ur tummy is so fat grandpa!

no, i'm not handsome...i'm cute! see...my grandpa combed my hair...

only Me & hubby can understand this....

My 1st day of Raya

Selamat Hari Raya everyone! Maaf Zahir Batin....My Raya so far...
first time rasa kuih tart nenas made by my MIL,
walaupun rupe dia lain sikit....but not bad, nice!
chocolate cake kukus by my kid BIL
Makan semua pun takpe, yummy!
First time jugak rasa kuih makmur my MIL. So soft, takde kacang kat dalam. Different from what yg my auntie selalu buat.But i am not a big fan of kuih makmur, so tak kisah la. One thing for sure yg my MIL buat ni manis. My hati manis suke la. Nama pun hati manis ;P
First time ever beraya with my in-laws on the first day of Raya. But, i still rindu beraya with my family in JB. Rindu nak berbuka ramai-ramai during malam raya. Makan di meja panjang. I missed ketupat, kuah lodeh, ayam sambal, rendang daging, sambal goreng and etc. Pagi raya berebut nak gune toilet, dengar takbir from masjid kampung melayu majidee. Dulu belum kawin, sibuk tengok budak-budak lelaki berjalan pegi sembahyang raya! hehe...i missed that.

One thing for sure, i missed my pagi raya in JB. Rindu nak salam tangan arwah atuk. This is the first raya without him and dah 5 tahun raya without arwah nenek. I heard this year takde pun sesi bergambar di pagi raya. Sayu sangat dengar.....especially bila dengar takbir, tuhan sahaja yg tau, sayunya hati ini.

Selama 27 tahun beraya with my own family ( mostly in JB ), this is the first time ever me beraya with my new family...my in-laws. First time jugak i belajar makan rendang ayam cooked by my MIL. Pelik to me but nice and i am addicted to it. Menu for pagi raya dkt KL ni simple jer, nasi impit, kuah kacang and rendang ayam. Family my hati manis ni pun kecik aje, tak ramai so takdelah riuh sakan pagi raya. Aunties and uncles dia pun dah beraya dgn keluarga sendiri. But, i am ok with this situation. No matter what, i wanna go back to JB next year for Raya....hwaaaa..rindu woooo.

Luckily ade budak botak ni yang menceriakan suasana!

Ayah's Birthday @ Buka Puasa

We had our buka puasa @ ifftar at J.W Marriott, KL ... 10th September is my Dad's birthday. So, we went to Marriott to celebrate my dad's birthday. Best....i mean the place and buffet dia not bad laa..Banyak pilihan but only makanan melayu. No Japanese and No western, 100% malay food. Banyak bende nak makan, but as normal la, since puase and banyak mane pun boleh sumbat dalam perut ni. One thing for sure, on that day....orang- orang yang ade kat situ tak berebut food or more like tamat not like other places like we went before this. Ni yang my dad perasan la. Hehe...me...as always ...memang suke bile dapat bekumpul and berbuka with my family, even though my family tak ramai. Best woo...! Name it, ikan patin masak lemak ( ade orang tu makan tak ingat ), rendang macam2 jenis rendang i.e daging, ayam, kerang. Mee sup, mee curry, laksa, roti jala and macam macam lagilah. They said ade 100 jenis makanan...entah, tak sempat nak kire!

Pool Side


My Dad




Guest of the day, our little bunny...Khai. Hehe suke yang amat satay, makan tak henti sampai tertido! Not sure dia pernah ke tak makan satay ni before this. The way dia makan...macam tak pernah jer, kesian budak sorang ni! He was so excited ....sibuk cakap kat orang " i'm going to grandpa's birthday party"...haha bile pulak la we all buat birthday party for my dad! So cute and adorable. No matter what, i wish that Alaq ade with us on that day :(


Happy Birthday Ayah!

Happy Birthday Ayah!

Of all the men in the whole wide world
Whose praises are sung out loud,
There is no man whom I respect more
Or of whom I am more proud.

Throughout the years you’ve worked so hard
To provide us a happy life;
You’ve been there to help and give advice,
And you did it all without strife.

That is why on this day each year,
I pray all your wishes come true;
Today we celebrate your life,
So Ayah, Happy Birthday to you.

5 years since she left US

Hari ni genap 5 tahun since my nenek pergi meninggalkan kami semua. Rasanye macam baru lagi arwah pergi, but it's already 5 years. Rindu sangat dekat arwah, especially Ramadhan is just around the corner. Last night i couldn't sleep, i can still remember saat- saat terakhir arwah menghembuskan nafasnye. I was beside her during that time. Arwah pergi dengan tenang sekali. Syukur alhamdullillah, i managed to be next to her that night. Luckily mase tu i was on my college break. 2 weeks i was in JB just to look after her together with my aunties and uncles. She was 82, but i'm not sure age tu betul ke tak since my arwah nenek takde surat beranak. Her age dkt IC pun pakai agak-agak aje. Pity her : (

Arwah menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya pada 1.40 pagi ( Friday- August 29, 2003 ) bersamaan dengan 1 Rejab. Arwah disemadikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kebun Teh, Johor Bahru. Dah lame rasanyer tak pegi menziarahi kubur my arwah atuk & nenek. The last time i managed to ziarah, that was in April this year. One month after my arwah atuk passed away.

I am totally sad...this year, this raya... i don't think i have the chance to ziarah kubur since I'll be celebrating my Raya with my in-laws in KL. I am so not looking forward for raya this year. My raya won't be the same like before. I'm going to miss my pagi raya in JB, arwah atuk must be orang pertama that i salam and cium. Rindu sangat bau both arwah. I know for sure, pagi raya i will cry and thinking about them and also my precious parents and siblings. This is the first time ever i'll be celebrating my raya without my own family eventhough i have my hubby and in-laws...but it won't be the same.

To all friends, hargailah & hayatilah Aidilfitri anda semua dgn. orang tersayang...kita takkan tahu that our next Aidilfitri takkan sama lagi dengan yang lepas. Yeah...i'm a bit emotional, what to do..thats me!

Al-fatihah...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day

A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient and helpful and strong .
In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him deep in your heart.
And each year that passes, you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you!

Happy Father's Day Ayah!!

my grandfather, my one & only father and a father to my future kids....(insyaallah)

Lontong

I had lontong for my breakfast today. Orang Johor sure tau what is lontong. Dah lame giler tak makan. Not sure why this morning when hati manis asked me nak makan ape and terus jawab lontong. I am a big fan of lontong actually. But not lontong that you can get in KL. Even the one that i had this morning pun tak sedap, but telan ajelah. Seriously, alangkah indahnyer dapat makan lontong from JB. Fuh....i missed that !

Then mase tunggu my hubby beli breakfast today, suddenly i teringat that lontong is my arwah atuk punyer favorite. Dulu, mase kecik-kecik..my arwah atuk yg slalu belikan breakfast for us especially mase cuti sekolah. Time cuti, most of us memenuhkan rumah nenek. Even we all dah besar and everytime balik JB, arwah mesti belikan we all breakfast. Ade lontong, nasi lemak, roti prata ( roti canai la kalau tak tau ) and macam macam la. Selagi dia kuat mase tu, selagi tu arwah akan belikan ape-ape aje yang we all boleh makan. He even said that " makan ni semua, kat KL tak sedap ". Betul tu! Hmmm...sedihnyer : (

Bile arwah dah mule sakit and dah tak kuat nak bawak kereta, my uncle sometimes bawak dia kluar for him to have his breakfast outside and just untuk arwah dapat makan lontong. It seems that, that's the only food yang arwah nak makan. Even my uncle akan belikan for him kalau dia tak sihat. Janji dia makan. Me myself, tak sure lagi bile lah agaknyer we all akan makan all the nicest food in JB that we can get especially kat kampung melayu. Now pun dah jarang balik JB. I really missed that, sampai jer that house...arwah nomally dah tunggu and so happy to see his smiling face to see cucu-cucu dia balik . The last time i went back there, rumah arwah rase kosong sangat and suram, even rumah tu sendiri nampak macam dah uzur sangat.

Today, genap 100 hari since he left us. He passed away in March this year. More story about arwah, you can read it here.
His body was buried just next to my grandmother's, his beloved wife, who passed away 5 years ago . Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh kedua mereka dan di tempatkan bersama-sama umat islam yang soleh. Rindu sangat kedua arwah lately.... :(
Al-Fatihah....
