Dancing ladybug

My lil' ladybug dancing to rock leleh...she makes my day. everyday.

Dahlia's kitchen

Dahlia loves playing in the kichen...one of her fave things to do is rearranging her Tok Mummy's supply cabinet... :-)

Insiden ketika membeli-belah...

These happened like a month ago but i takleh lupa sampai sekarang...nak cakap geli hati,ada...nak cakap sakit hati pun ada gak...well, what do you think?

1. I*setan, KLCC

I had just finished my assignment (termasuk hantar stori) di KLCC and since i'm there, i decided to rewang-rewang sekejap before i balik rumah...malas nak rempuh jem and balik office semata-mata nak tunjuk muka padahal kerja dah siap...

anyway, my main objective was to get Dahlia a new pair of shoes esp, since she's already walking and her current pair takde tapak sangat, asyik tergelincir je...

punyalah survey...pergi mother*care, pergi isetan, even pergi adidas and nike just to bandingkan harga and the make...aiyoh, memula takmo spend sangat on expensive shoes but when i see how important it is to get those shoes yang lembut but at the same time memberi sokongan, mak pun jadi pening...

finally after dah buat purchase kat ise*tan, i pergilah the toy department..motifnya? wanted to get one of those logic game which Fitri suka sangat main...(I dapat sikit saguhati from The Company, and wanted to splurge something for the family)...bila dah dapat, biasalah pergi pula tgk toys for dahlia....

memula nak beli, tapi since tak sale and i've just gotten her a new toy about 2 weeks before, tak jadilah nak beli...(plus bila nampak the diskaun mark pada waktu tak sale, terus pikir dua kali..baik beli masa sale)...

so i went to the dvd/cd section...you see, at my parents, we don't subscribe the kiddies channel and Dahlia has been watching TVIQ that comes free...good channel but not all programs suitable for her...

so, i wanted to get her something that might interest her...then i saw sesame street sings karaoke...kan biasanya kat bahagian CD/DVD diaorg letak tv plus a player? so, i assumed u can have a look-see before purchasing it..


kat belakang that section, ada their store room and a few sales asst tgh sibuk masukkan barang...so...

Me : Adik, boleh tak akak test DVD ni
SA 1 : Takleh la akak, kena bayar dulu baru kitaorang boleh test (sambil diperhatikan oleh 2 orang SA lain)
ME : Oh? kalau akak rasa macam anak akak tak suka, kena refund balik ke?
SA 1 : A'a..
Me : ok...terima kasih la ya (padahal rasa polisi cam tu tak best la sebab the customer takde power to choose)

(masa i melangkah to see the toys nearby, i overheard this...)

SA 2 : Lor akak tu dah ada anak ke? Tak nampak pun...
Me : (hehehe...kembang kejap)

SA 2/3 : Kak, saya rasa lebih baik akak beli Quran...elok lagi untuk anak akak
ME : (Terkejut jap dan kemudian tersenyum)...Adik, akak setiap malam dengan suami akak mengajar anak akak baca muqaddam...(which we do until now)

Aiyoh, i rasa the statement from SA yang terakhir tu sangat la tak sesuai...i know he meant well, but i think tak bertempat lah juga, he kinda made me very uncomfortable.

Oh anyway, the DVD i bought? Dahlia absolutely loves it...main sampai 10 kali sehari setiap hari.. :-)


2. TTDI

After work, i went to fetch Fitri from home and bawa dia ke TTDI where he wanted to ambil his car after a week service...

Sementara he went to see the mechanic, i went into this new boutique nearby...you see butik ni jual tudung berjenama terkenal and since i tak pernah beli pun the tudung, teringin la nak tengok whats so special about it...

As i tak bawa my handbag, i pegang my phone, keys and purse (i was also still in my workclothes), i masuk the butik...

Overheard la the owner talked to her SA over the phone..apparently she just tendered her resignation and wanted to work elsewhere...lepas she hung up, the lady owner (LO) bercakap to her husband yang berada di bilik stor about loosing another worker...

I was the only customer in the butik...and of course la terdengar the conversation (the owner wasnt exactly discreet pun)...

sambil-sambil jalan around the kedai (which i have to admit cantik baju and the tudung..), and the lady owner melayan all my soalan on the baju, saiz etc...suddenly :

LO : Nak kerja tak?
Me : (Tersenyum) errrrr....tak kot.
LO : Kerja part-time pun takpe...susah sungguh nak cari pekerja sekarang
Me : Buat la iklan kat depan ke...
LO : Kalau tak pun, kenal sesiapa yang nak kerja...
Me : Taklah sorry...

Lepas tu, i keluar from the butik and try to tahan ketawa...can't help but think kenapa the LO tanya i the question...

isit becoz i was so serabai (lepas kerja, mana nak nampak anggun dah)? i definitely nampak sebagai outsider, tak setaraf seperti penduduk the posh area of ttdi? or she just meant well...

anyway, both incidences mmg lekat la dalam kepala i... :-)

My Dream Car(s)

I absolutely want this car(s) (getting it is another matter :-P)



-if u read the lower right column, it highlights the details of "my" customised v50! :-)




- ain't it a beauty??!!

Reading list...

A few entries, insyallah, will be posted in the next few days (or weeks?)...been busy with life and when you earn a living writing, tak sempat nak update...anyway...

I'm currently reading (and rereading) these books :




And I want to read these when I'm done (everytime i go to the bookstore, i tend to forget the books i wanted to buy..heh..) :







and a few books on Nabi & Rasul, Rasullulah & Fathima Az-Zahra..any good books u guys can suggest?

black or white?

A few weeks ago, my cousin and her husband, who are new parents asked me : "Salah ke if Danya gelap?"

Apparently in their fb page, a couple of their friends dok cakap their daughter is turning gelap...

I smiled and said softly, "Dahlia gelap but she is still my daughter and I love her very much. I'm proud of her...so buat tak layan je those ppl..."

Both my cousin and husband agreed but I think as new parents, they pun sure terasa...

I understand their predicament coz everytime somebody sebut Dahlia gelap or anything (or call her names), i pun marah...

i marah becoz one day Dahlia will see how ppl judge her sebab dia gelap..

I guess the world are turning stereotypical...babies should lahir putih, so tat nampak cantik....even the media and all these cosmetic/skincare company semua bersungguh-sungguh market its whitening range...ishk.

even masa mengandung orang dok sibuk suruh minum soya or makan bird's nest so tat baby nanti lahir putih...

heck, i masa mengandung dok tibai kicap just becoz...so does that made me a bad mother sebab makan?

the rules of genetics definitely tak terlintas la kan? sibuk putih jer...

Asians are not limited to the fairskinned like the ahmois...its like how most american thinks that asians means the orientals je, where in fact asians tu include the malays, indian, arabs.....

Well, eventho my daughter is not fair, but she is a darling..she is smart...and alhamdullilah dia sihat and happy...

kalau putih tapi perangai buruk pun buat apa kan?

For those who judge sebab dia or anyone gelap, i think u should see an optometrist coz the world is definitely not white.

Addiction.....

I'm currently addicted to this :



I've known about the series years ago, when it first showed in Astro...tapi tak tgk, i think its becoz we didn't subscribe the movie channel masa tu..or i rather watch something else masa tu..

anyway, this time around, came as an accident. Fitri loves war movies, esp. the second world war...it was in the middle of the nite, dahlia dah tidur and i had to fold the laundry...

seperti biasa, fitri will temankan i do my chores and while doing that, he was watching this. suka tak suka, i kena tgk....and terus tertawan ok? tak kisahlah i dah missed beberapa episode pun..

(since i malas nak menaip pepanjang tgh-tgh malam ni, i got this from Wikipedia) : Band of Brothers is a 2001 ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the book of the same title written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose.

The narrative centers on the experiences of E Company ("Easy Company") of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, from Easy's basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, through the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war[1].

since that day, i would tgk whenever its repeated over the idiot box until one day, i basically racun fitri to buy the box set..heheheh.

gila tak gila, i even surf the net to find out about the real E company (where the series is based on)...! hehehe....

i seriously think this is one of the best series i've watched. and yes, they d have good looking guys (i could imagine fitri's rolling his eyes when he reads that part..) but thats beside the point.

the series connects you to the characters. it showed how the war effected these ppl, and others around..it showed how the war was...(of course dalam ni semua special effects, i think the real war lagi teruk la kan)

fitri has been patiently educating me about the military e.g ranks, the grouping and the strategy...of course, some of it i still tak berapa nak paham...



anyway, this series actually mengubah my minat towards war movies. i really dig it.

of course, kalau locally made movie i akan tgk bukit kepong...yg u je pun yg i ingat. sarjan hassan tak tgk sampai habis....hmmm...maybe i shoud buka semula my old buku sejarah to read about our own war...

jees & apin (i know u guys are waiting for me to say this), my fave character is doc. eugene roe. cute ooo! :-P oh, leut. spiers pun ensem gak (dia yg berlakon jadi bapa siapa ntah dalam gossip girls)
