Hello readers..... another outdated entry.... so outdated comments are most welcomed!

Anyway, Ramadhan has passed and Syawal will also come to an end in a few weeks time. I think it’s not too late to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya!!!! How was my Ramadhan and Syawal? Good, I must say. I had a great Ramadhan month. This year we saved a lot on food as we always berbuka inside our car.. hee hee. As usual, I left office around 7pm even tough my Company was kind enough to let the staff go at 4.30pm (but that didn’t mean anything to me considering that I always had meetings organized for me at 5pm).

Towards the end of Ramadhan, the Company organized a competition – ‘Best Dressed Department’ in conjunction with the Hari Raya – Deepavali celebration. My staff were all geared up for the competition and they managed to turn the department into a ‘kampung’ environment, with big trees, bushes, pelita, ‘pangkin’ and what not… hehehe and THAT was fun, I tell you!

Here's me and my lost time friend, Julie...... she was my roomie when we were in college & now she's my colleague. More than 15 years of friendship and she is still as 'loq-laq' as she was... hehe

pic of me & julie was supposed to be here.....will try AGAIN to upload the pic later

Then I was busy with my cookies and cakes business…. And Ina as always, is my BIGGEST customer…. Check out my chocolate chip cookies (in the making)…

again, pic of my cookies collection

My family celebrated Hari Raya in Kelantan this year with my in laws. Going back to Kelantan means celebrating Raya with 9 other sister/brother-in-laws, 7 ‘biras’ plus more than 20 nieces and nephews…. Syioknyeeeeee. Coming from a tiny family makes me appreciate the crowd even more. With ‘imported’ bunga api and small scale fireworks that I ordered all the way from KL, KB was not at all a dull place.

And I learned how to cook nasi dagang from my sister s…. Look at these….

and pics of my nasi dagang........I really hate you BLOGGER!!!!!!

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
