Merdeka!!

Happy Merdeka!!!!

Today, its our National Day.

Malaysia's 52nd independence day.

Feels like wanna share this song by our late Tan Sri Sudirman.

Warisan by Sudirman

Disini lahirnya sebuah cinta
Yang murni abadi sejati
Disini tersemai cita cita
Bercambah menjadi warisan

Andai ku terbuang tak diterima
Andai aku disingkirkan
Kemana harusku bawakan
Kemana harusku semaikan cinta ini

Betapa
Dibumi ini ku melangkah
Keutara selatan timur dan barat
Ku jejaki

Aku
Bukanlah seorang perwira
Gagah menjunjung senjata
Namun hati rela berjuang
Walau dengan cara sendiri
Demi cinta ini

Ku ingin kotakan seribu janji
Sepanjang kedewasaan ini
Ku ingin sampaikan pesanan
Aku lah penyambung warisan....

Always remember the famous quote by JFK:

-Dont ask what a country can do for you, ask what u can do for the country-

For I always believe in whatever we give, we always got it back.

Adios,

Thanx

Thursday last week, met my fren, miss A at KLCC.

Final meeting wif her. She came wif beloved hubby, her 2 lovely kids, a niece and brother.

Too bad I dont bring my camera that day, its a last minute arrangement actually, but it turns out to be good and hilarious.

Had dinner at Chili's..thanx so much ya..(actually I am not that comfortable la..huhu, sogan la plak).

Her son seems taller each year..tinggi la ko, Dam. Sat gi leh sama tinggi ngan atuk.

And Ida, as usual will start to be your 'buddy' when its time to depart. Smart girl, she'll studies one's character before get close to you, good!.

And her niece, wow weeee...chubby nyer! Pipi & lengan yg tombam. Pejal2 gitew, sedap di picit, hehe (mak dia tau, mati den).

Besides the kids, ada gak pokcik Nico. Such a funny guy, bet u'll never got bored with him. He'd never change since the last time I met him. So hilarious, no wonder my fren always mentioned 'bout the 'clown' in her house. Ok la tu..kut dapat boipren yg 'siyesss' je manjang, lagi la tensen.

And her brother, as polite as always...thanks to him, he's the one entertaining the kids, not all brothers can take care of our kids tawww...lucky u have fandi.

Presents from Aunt A the other day.

This is for T

And this is for F

F and T love it. They used the plate daily now, even T ignored her beloved Dora plate, and F 'dumped' her Peter Rabbits', hehe.
And they said "Thank you, aunt A".
F wanted to met ida, but sorry kid, I met them right after my office-hours, my weekend are all packed, so do my fren. Probably will have proper arrangement some other time.

To A, hope u had a good time. Bon Voyage...

Make sure jgn bagi KLIA banjir bila nak kena balik FRA nanti tau.

Buka Puasa

Our fist Ramadhan.

Woke-up for sahur wif H and F; just had slices of bread with rendang (tapau from my mum).

H had a toasted bread with kaya.

Then after subuh, got back to sleep till its quite late, hehe. Tell me how can I ever get-up in such a rainy, wind-chilly morning....brrr...

Again, the view from my balcony

As usual, we went to check Nusaputra's progress and then bought the 'downlights' for the new house. H end-up buying 68 downlights!..whoa..thats the total lights needed for the entire house.

It's 'bout 6pm when we finally accomplished the mission and sent all those lights to the house. As we r not familiar the area yet, I just couldnt figure out the best place for 'buka puasa'.

Ting!!! suddenly, thinking of Pullman Hotel H once told me. I do thought the hotel is in Cyberjaya, but I was wrong, it was in Putrajaya instead. H rushed to P'jaya (asar pun tak sempat lagi nih)

Reached Pullman 'bout 6.50pm, ngam2. Asar, then straight to the restaurant.

Walla..always thought Pullman is just a cikai 3 star hotel, coz never heard of it before.

Well, never thot it was so beautiful indeed!

Pullman Hotel (reminds me of Bill Pullman, hehe)

The resto - B's

Beatiful ambience and wif class of its own. But what I love most, theres not much patrons..yay!!
(maybe coz its the 1st Ramadhan, ppl tend to 'buka' with their family perhaps)

Views inside the resto. Its arabic theme, so the waiters n waitress are in middle-east costume (rasa cam ali baba pun iye gak, gheee)

We sat just behind this desert bar.

Beautiful sceneries, just outside the resto.

Some pose by F, while waiting for the 'time'.

…and this girl-has all the license to eat whenever she wanted *wink-wink*
The reason she didn’t join us for the posing is b’coz – “I am too busy wif my foodies’

Some beautiful deserts that day

Couldn’t snap the main bar (lebey la plak kan?).
Thumbs up for Pullman - yummylicious foodies coupled with nice n friendly staff. They can even served my kids; probably coz that’s not so much of customers that day.

Definitely will drop here again, and if possible - to spend a nite here, heh.

Salam Ramadhan

Tomorrow, its the 1st Ramadhan, and we're gonna start another fasting month.

As some might says, we should be grateful to breath and have a chance to meet another Ramadhan..its the time for us to grab more and more pahala in this month.

Lots of incoming Ramadhan wishes in my email; and some, with the same messages again and again.

But in another thought, it shows how I am surrounded by friends, and friends who would always include me in their circles. Thanx to u guyz.

So..gonna start fasting tomorrow. Gotta wake-up tonite for sahur (and what I'm doing here at 2a.m?)

Bulan takde mood nak keje & ngantuk kat opis, assignment byk lak tu, huhu...

WSX 77.01

Yayyy!!! finally I managed to bought the W.S.X number.
Sis helped me to bought it thanx ya...

Why 7.7.0.1?

Truth is - I dont know.

Thats the number available today. And, all the rhythmic numbers has long gone. And this is what left. Wanted to buy 8 series number, but of coz wif another extra 100 bucks ready to be gone, but in other thot, surely 8 numbers are all running fast.

So, I better stick to 7 series, RM210 is just suffice, eh (bye 210..huhu).
And 7701?, It is actually almost similar to our current cars: 1101.


Why WSX?

I have some kind of weird feeling towards the alphabet 'X'. Thus, I found it beautiful (i think so).

As a matter of fact, I would always wanted a car with 'X' registration number. But somehow both of my cars dont have any 'X' coz for some reason, I couldnt wait for an 'X' each time I need to change cars.

So, when KL's car registration goes 'S', I have this naughty thoughts:
'Why dont I buy 'WSX'?. Wouldnt it be good as it has the 'S.X'" *wink-wink*

So, here I am with the registration number without any 'vehicle'...hahahh (weirdo part of me).

I wonder who bought the WSX 18, nice huh?

But the most beautiful number we ever had is H's first car-ADM 668.
Should retain the number, sighh...never think of that...

Outbreak

In my last posting 'bout H1N1 (in June) theres no death casualty yet and number of people infected are just 158.

But as of yesterday, the number of death is already 64 and around 4200 plus got infected since the 1st case. What a drastic increase!

The death made up of about 2% of total number ppl got infected. Yup, this is scary….no jokes.

The most scary fact is the impact of the virus to babies and toddlers. Since they got no or less immune, they are the most fragile group. Theres even 1 mth old baby dies of this. God…

So far, theres none in my circle got infected (alhamdulillah) but theres already 1 case in my office building, and a few suspected; but somehow cleared.

Quite worried for my doter as she needs to go to school and mingled with others. Made her to wear the mask while she’s in school.

Health ministry is projecting if theres not enough cautious & remedies, about 5 mill ppl may got infected in a year to come, which means….nearly 100,000 deaths???? Pliz..tell me this will not gonna happen.

So guyz, take care of our loved ones, don’t allow our kids and parents to be in a crowded places for nothing. They’re the most fragile group.

I’d promised myself, no more outing for movies, avoid any public swimming pool, less outing & shopping where possible..heck, less vacation, huhu…and reminding my kids & myself to take the vit.C without fails and wash their hands frequently.
Theres even a do’a for the outbreak (kena hafal cepat2 nih).

Lucky I’ve done all the raya shopping for the kids last month so we don’t have to meet the crowds. And if u guys wanna shopping for raya, better do it now.

Heard that the medication WILL arrived somewhere in October. Hope so…

Not sure what’ll happen in November. Sadly we’d planned for Bali this Nov., without knowing H1N1 swine flu is a prolong outbreak, sigh…

Weekend

Something from early of this month.

Oww, what a back-posting!

(I just cant spare the time to update my blog during weekdays, schedule is quite tight)

Went to The Mines the other day, after paying the normal routine visit to Nusaputra.

Main reason going there is to take a peep to the Crocs boutique there (& shopping as usual, heh)

Manage to 'smuggled' few pics. One thing 'bout the boutique, I love the colourful and 'liveliness' of the boutique. So, a shot is a must.

Then, drop by for Starbuck's coffee. Kinda miss it already coz rasa mcm dah lama tak drop by here. Got a free cute mug, but not sure for what reason. Probably coz the purchase is more than 50bucks.

Went back at around 6pm.

Grr...such a bad traffic heading to KL & it's caused by not other than the gathering by the anti-ISA. So we had to turnback and find other alternative road.

Wdf, sapa la yg jadi 'balachi' tu..pastu siap bawak anak-bini join berarak bagai..menyusahkan org aje. One thing for sure, most of them are outsiders, ntah dtg dari kamfong mana tak taw la kan, pastu sanggup lak jadi balachi pakcik sorang tu.

Come on, get a life, tak yah ikut2 org boleh tak?

I was there when the riot was everywhere in 98. And these people, puhlease laaa...they would simply damaged all the traffice-lights, bins, lampu jln, bus-stop etc..protes la konon, but why all the vandalism? Yg pompuan pun sama, heran aku. Siap terajang sana-sini, eeiii tak malu ke?

At that time, me & colleagues just cant get out for lunch, all trapped inside. And the guard need to lock our main door, just in case all these people rushed-in. We can only have our lunch after 2pm.

Time balik pun macam tu, we cant go out with those guys rioting outside.

Some ppl may just simply suka2 join the riot, but pls, theres so much troublesome u create to others. Pity those kids, pregnant ladys or elderly who are nearby. Siap jatuh2 depa tu, sian tau.

I dont know, but to me whoever goes against the isa, must have some hidden agenda. Unlike ppl like us, we dont give a damn, coz we dont do anything wrong. That's it.

Coz the jam is sooo unbearable, baik la daku layan MJ nyer konsert..btw it took us 2 hrs to reach home, damn..

Wheeeeeee....

Something from the month of June.

Bought it quite a while ago, but aint in any mood to post it.

H's fav - fishing gadget.

The tennis racquet.

Its the Wii....
Bought it together with the dance mat, etc...

Fav game. Sekali main, berpeluh2 gak la coz overly excited, hahah!

Kids, got busy with the Wii (but only in the first week).

By now, my Wii has started to collected dusts, uhuks.

Even I barely touch it, so little time...

Dad's Office

Went to H's office last week

Gotta sumting to get the kids occupied.
In H's office. Purpose of going to H's office?

Nothing, other than to rembat some boxes as he just move to this floor.

So got plenty extra boxes. Need that to pack-up our things nanti.

View from his office.

Hmm..lets see if he can see my office from afar..yup, he can.

So, lets produce an 18x zoom power.

Walla!!!!

thats where i gotta be everyday, heh.

The Other Day

Went to Alamanda Putrajaya the other day

(whatelse to do, after checking the progress of the Nusaputra)

Decided to watch Ice Age 3 there. We really wanted to watch the 3D, but sigh..no 3D in Alamanda..and Pavillion is always full-hse..grr..

Conclusion: 5 star for Ice Age 3.

Lotta adventures..lurve it!! We'd fun...wish we'd a chance to watch the 3D..sighh..
