1. My name is Runiza. My family called me ‘Za’. My younger siblings and cousins called me ‘Alang’. My TKC friends call me ‘Runi’. Some of my colleagues call me 'Kak Jah' - short to 'Hajjah'. My primary school friends used to call me ‘Ru’. But others mostly call me ‘Niza’... except for my dearest hubby... who fondly calls me ‘Izz' ;)
2. I am the 3rd child in the family... and the most rebellious one! Still am! :D
3. I am also the shortest one in the family... :P
4. My family means everything to me. I’d choose my family over my career! (Alamak betul ke aku cakap nih?? Atau baru seminggu tak kerja dah meroyan nak keja balik??? Uwaaaaa!!) But really... I am so jealous of some of my friends who are brave enough to quit their job and be a full time mom... take care of their kids...
5. I got married at the age of 27. First met my hubby at Menara Maybank (I had an appointment with a friend who happened to be his friend… and he wanted to tag along to ‘meet’ me.. haha.. jodoh la tu!).
6. I lost my dad on the 13th Sept 1998, a few days before my first wedding anniversary. I was 7 months pregnant then. I still can't forget how fragile he looked when I last met him at the Hospital Kajang... a day before I lost him. I still miss him and I wished that my kids could get to know their Atuk Manaf.... :(
7. I only have 2 kids - a girl and a boy. I wanted more (Really, I wanted to have at least 4!!) but hubby didn’t. And now, at my age... redha aje lah with 2! Alhamdulillah... ada jugak rezeki Allah bagi kan?
8. I love popia goreng!! When I was small, my arwah ayah used to buy popia goreng for us every Saturday at Kuala Pilah’s pasar malam! So everytime I eat popia goreng… I still think of him... :(
9. I don’t know how to swim! Have considered so many times to enroll for swimming classes... tapi sampai now belum kesampaian hajat tu...
10. I loveeeee to travel! Bumi Allah ni luas and I love exploring it!! Among places that I’ve been to – Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Netherland, Prague, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Turkey), Hanoi, Siem Reip, Bandung, Bali, Bangkok, Singapore, USA, Mecca, Madinah, Egypt, New Zealand, Gold Coast, and many other places.. alhamdulillah... syukur... :)
11. I had performed Hajj back in 2003 and would love to do it over and over again, insyaAllah.
12. I had been to NY World Trade Center before the buildings were destroyed in 2001 in the September 11 attacks.
13. I LOVE shopping... but don't think I am a shopaholic :D I can still control myself, insyaAllah ;)
14. I’ve worked with Maybank since 1994 (the year I graduated) but resigned in 1997, after I got married – kononnya nak cari office dekat dgn our rented house (Bkt Beruntung) and ended up working at TV3’s Sri Pentas. But I hate my job there… so before masuk 6 months, I resigned and rejoined Maybank. Kebetulan the GL system needed someone experienced... so dengan muka tak malu... rejoined la balik!! Hahaha! Yeap… setia betul ngan Maybank until now!! (Yeah right! More like malas nak cari kerja lain actually!).
15 . Once, I sold my favourite MyVi (black EZ) and buy another MyVi (sporty red SE)… just to get our ‘dream’ car plate number ‘RH122’. Why RH122?? RH = Razak Hussin (my darling hubby) and 122 = izz (my name laaa!) And why buy another MyVi? I love MyVi...comel! ;)
16. My first car was a Daihatsu Charade Aura… and I bought it with my own hasil titik peluh! (refused to get help from my parents when they offered me). Was very proud of that old car! And was very sad when had to let it go… in order to buy a bigger family car… our maroon proton wira :)
17. Recently, I found out that I love sewing beads!! Found it very therapeutic! Even my tailors puji tau!! But when other people asked if I’d like to ‘ambil upah’ for jahit beads... eiii.. tak mau lah! Ponek mato makcik jahit tu! :P
18. I once played hockey for TKC.. but as reserve player only.... heheh :D We (the hockey players) were forced to run 5 X 400m every time before our practice! Penat siut! Now? Nak lari 50m pun mengah! :D
19. I was a corporal cadet police when I was a fifth former in TKC. I secretly think that I got that ‘pangkat’ coz my senior did not like the other ‘potentials’... hahaha!
20. I have never been a good dancer.. really! But I performed 3 times doing ‘tarian melayu’ during my TKC life.... i) Freshie concerts back in 1983 (masa mula2 masuk tkc), ii) Interhouse dancing competition 1985 (a friend quit.. and diorang tak de calon lain.. so yours truly ni kira bidan terjun lah.. hahaha!) iii) A show for our 4th former concert. And FYI... dalam semua occasions tu... I was the most ‘keras’ and ‘lembab’ person to do all the dance steps... hahaha! :D
21. Recently, I joined TKC OGA in the hope... if Izzaty wanted to go to a boarding school... I could try applying via the OGA quota. Kalau dia tak nak… then I am more than happy to have her at home. Coz I am not sure I’m ready to let her go... *sob*
22. I’ve been using CLINIQUE facial care products ever since I was studying in the United States. Tried switching to many cheaper brands... tapi tak sesuai... did not like them! So until now, masih setia bersama CLINIQUE :)
23. I love teaching my kids. I try my best to spend time with them every night… doing revision or any ulangkaji..or just simply doing kumon homework :)
24. My friend of 28 years - Zita thinks I think too much! Banyak sangat berfikir and terlalu risaukan benda2 yang remeh. She’s probably right... *sigh!*
25. I love reading chic lit books! My fav author is definately Sophie Kinsella :)
