The fortnightly visit

Rindunya dengan si anak dara ni...

Visited her today at Bandar Enstek...

She got red eyes again... 

Allergic la ni.... Ni memang sakit keturunan ni. My bro got red eyes once in a while. Angah, your niece ni mmg ikut pakngah dia ek?! ;)) My nephew, Joe was also known as 'si mata merah' when he was at MRSM Tun Ghaffar Baba years ago... So confirmed la genetic punya penyakit.. Huhu.

Ohhh... Got these today from my BFFs... (Dr Zai's daughter passed these to Izzaty)...

Thank you Dr Zai for the gifts from OZ and Korea!!!! And thanks Pijah for the Sydney's fridge magnet! You guys are so thoughtful!! Love you all lotssss ❤️

Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram to all my Muslim friends. Maaf zahir batin ya... kita tutup buku lama dan buka buku baru ya.... :)

This time it's Africa

No, no... I am not going to Africa... yet! Though I really wish I am :P

That's a title of Shakira's song by the way :)

My friend Dr Aniza went to Cape Town, Africa for a cancer seminar or something. When she told me that she's going to Cape Town... I was so excited!! Seronoknyaaaa... That's one of my dream destination for a holiday!!! Lucky you, my friend!! I turned green in envy on the spot! I tell you!! :P

Some souvenirs from Africa from the kind doctor ;)

Thank you so much doc!!! Sangat2 terharu.... huhu! :))

Some of my fav pics that Dr Aniza put in her FB... 

Cantiknya Cape Town... subhanallah! One day, I'll be there... InsyaAllah... Moga dimakbulkan Allah doaku ini.... Aamin.

April Love ❤

It's already April people!! How time flies!! -_-

Anyway, Happy belated Aprilfool birthday to my darling friend, Wewe whose birthday was on the April 1st :) !! Hope you have a blast darl! ❤ Remember when we were in school and we sang on top of our lung during music class the "April Love" song??

April Love is for the very young... 

Every star's a wishing star that shine for you... 

Oh god... how I miss those moment.... *sigh!* Miss you all my ladies of Kurshian 8387!!! *muah!*

An office-mate went to Spain and Portugal for holiday during last school break... and I kinda forced her to buy some fridge magnets for me... hahaha!

Thanks Chris!! They are all beauuuutifulll!!! Love them all!!! You are a gem! Sorry I troubled you carrying these heavy FMs during your trip... heeheee :D

Tak dapat pergi holiday... dapat kirim fridge magnets pun jadi laaa.... huhuhuuuu -_-

Last Wednesday, Dr Mohd Shafie Md Amin came to Surau al Insaf Menara Maybank for a short zuhur talk. I've always enjoy Dr Shafie's talk! I kinda admire his determination to learn and memorise the Al Quran during his studies in the UK! (Please read details of his biodata here). Kalau lah saya mempunyai personaliti seperti beliau.... 

Bought this book by Dr Shafie. Haven't read it yet.. .but am sure it's gonna be very interesting!

The book is about how to manage oneself, family and be a good leader. It also guides readers on how to make a good decision and time management based on what's written in the Quran and Sunnah.
Highly recommended!!
*chewah... baca pun belum! kih kih... *

Little White Cafe @ Bangi

I have previously read about Little White Cafe in Bangi from some blogs... but never got the chance to go there. So when Zita suggested this place for our small gathering... I quickly agreed! :D Was really excited!! Haven't met Zita for months!!! Rinduuuuu.... :D

Sent Izzaty back to Bandar Enstek yesterday and from there... with the help of waze GPS, I managed to find this place ;)

Located at 13-G-1, Jalan Medan PB 4A, Pusat Bandar Baru Bangi, 43650 Selangor.

Very english-like! With cozy ambiance and nicely decorated! I like!!! :)

Zita ate spaghetti bolognese... said a bit too masam to her liking. Ijah and I shared a chicken lasagna... not bad jugak laaa.. I like!  We also ordered bread pudding for dessert - Oh Em Gee.... SO YUMMY!! Rasa nak tapau bawak balik!! :P I did snap some pics of the food but somehow forgot to save it... boleh? mengong betul!  -_-.

My lunch partners - Ijah and Zita! Love you girlfriends! ❤ 

Nice deco in the cafe...

Ijah at the counter... 

Yours truly and Zita... 

Yours truly and Ijah.. 

Went home that evening with a bag of goodies.... 

The souvenirs that I got from my BFFs (Zita, Ijah, K.Lang Zana and Jade) who went to Korea last November and fridge magnets and some souvenirs from India and Brazil from Zita (She just came back from India! Lucky girl! *jealous tau!* The Brazil magnet and key-chain are from her Bro-in-law who works there). Key-chain 'Runiza' tu sangat comel!! Love them all!! Thanks Ta! Thanks BFFs!!! Love you all sooo much!! ❤ 

A positive quote that Ijah gave me.... thanks darling! ❤

 I stick it on my office notebook... hopefully can keep the positive aura in me always! :)

Thank you girlfriends!! Love you all sooooooooo muchhh!!!

Talk about India.... hatiku ini sudah bergelora nak ke sana!! Zamri has been there... and my SRKDian girlfriends just came back from India recently.. and I read Principle's blog on her trip to India. When I saw their pics bertambah2 gelora hati ini nak pergi.. huhu! We (yours truly and hubby, my sister Na and her hubby and Abang Y - our New Zealand trip gang!) have booked tickets to go there in March, next year. InsyaAllah, we plan to go to New Delhi, Mumbai, Kashmir and Agra... wahhh! Tak sabar nak posing depan Taj Mahal @ Agra, chilling on a boathouse @ Kashmir, shopping sarees @ Mumbai.... wahhh..... tak sabarnya!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alaa... lama nya lagi nak masuk March.... huk huk :(

Viva Palestina!!

My hubby is back from his umrah trip! woohoo!! :) Syukur alhamdulillah... he's fine... walau pun now sangat panas di sana. He got these new fridge magnets to add to our collections... :)

And I totally HEART this clock! :)

Wish I could join him visiting Jerusalem... jealous tenguk member posing beriya kat Dome of the Rock... huhu!

But most of all... I wish I could be with him praying at the 3 most important mosques in Islam: 1. Masjidil Haram in Mecca (I am amazed by the changes in Mecca compared to my last umrah trip back in 2009!!)

2. Masjidil Nabawi in Madinah
and no 3. Masjidil Aqsa in Jerusalem....

Kebetulan... our TKC/MGC luncheon this month, there was a talk on Palestine. Details as follow :

LUNCHEON DETAILS

Date: 29/7/2011

Time: 12:30 - 2:00 PM

Venue: President's Room (within Orchid Room) Lake Club

Speaker: Prof Zahurin Mohamed

Title: Palestine: The Untold Story

Prof Zahurin is the Head of Dept of Pharmacology at University of Malaya. She is also very active in Viva Palestina Malaysia. VIVA PALESTINA MALAYSIA, is a coalition of more than 50 NGOs that cuts across racial, religious and political lines in Malaysia. This coalition was formed after the escalation of Israel-Palestine conflict that culminated in the invasion of Gaza. VIVA PALESTINA MALAYSIA works closely with foreign NGOs with similar objectives, and together as a worldwide united front of NGOs, acts as an effective pressure group to governments, pushing for a just and comprehensive resolution of the conflict.

Prof Zahurin in action - a very interesting topic indeed!

My menu this week : Linguine Mama Chef (again!). This time around, it wasn't so spicy... sedap! :)

I am just happy that darling hubby is back... and Izzaty has just finished her UPSR trial :) Her result is not out yet but mama sorang ni sudah berdebar2.... huhu!! Soon in August would be PSRA trial... followed by the REAL UPSR exam and PSRA in September.... my prayers for you my girl... semoga mendapat keputusan yang cemerlang.... Aamin.

Express lunch @ Subway

Wewe, Germ and I wanted to meet for lunch today. Wewe were supposed to pick me up in her posh 5-series-BMW (pergh!!) at 12 noon sharp... but she was half an hour late... aisay..

Since I have a very important meeting at 2:05pm later (ada ka buat meeting pukul 2:05?? Whose idea was this??) and I need to be back in my office latest by 1.45pm, we decided to take an express lunch at Subway @ The Weld which is just a few minutes drive from my office. And yeay... I got the chance (again!) to naik Wewe's BMW... me liking it!!! :) Hmmm...... Bila la hubby I boleh belikan BMW for me ni... huhu!

By the time we reached there, Germ was already waiting for us :)

Wewe and Germ queuing at the Subway counter while I waited at our table. Penuh you meja2 kat Subway ni.... full house!!!

Subway sandwiches for the 3 of us - Thanks Wewe dearie for the treat!! Love you girlfriend!! *muah!* *muah!*

Wewe just came back from New Zealand recently and showed us the video of her doing bungee jumping when she was there.... mak oiii.... daring nya you Were!!! Tabik spring sama lu!!!! When I was in NZ, tak terpikir pun nak cuba semua2 tu..... eeeuuu.... ngeri makcik!!! Dah le kena bayar beratus2... just to torture myself??? No thank you!! :P But you did it babe!!! Caya lah!!! Am so damn proud of you!! *hugs!*

A souvenir from NZ from our darling friend, Wewe :)

Thank you sooooo much dear.... LOVE it!! Bertambah lagi koleksi ku! :)

Terkenang pulak our holiday in NZ years ago. How I miss New Zealand :( Such a beautiful and peaceful place to be... and I wish I could go there again.... and again.... and again.... *sigh!*

Beautiful NZ in memory....

And yeah... managed to be back at the office by 1.40pm.. and sempat solat Dzuhur before my meeting.... alhamdulillah :)

Our fridge magnet collections

I started collecting fridge magnet when I was studying in the States back in 1994. I bought magnets at cities that I visited as souvenirs then later put them on the fridge at my rented apartment. Later when I got married, I still put those magnets on my fridge :)

This hobby of mine later was transmitted to dear hubby... hehehe :) So it’s like a trend now… at every cities or countries we visit, we will find a fridge magnet to add to our collection ;) But over the years, some of the magnets were either broken or spoilt. Itu laa... ganas sangat bukak fridge kot... some of the magnets fell down and broke :( We did not want to lose more magnets, so... for the past few years, we kept our fridge magnets collection in a big Tupperware with intention to buy or order a special cabinet just for them :) Punya lama cari tak jumpa… we finally heard about this magnet holder sold in ikea..

Wahh.... kami borong 4 of those thing in Ikea!! :D Later, we went to a local furniture shop and requested the apek to make a special cabinet using those magnetic boards that we bought in ikea. And here's the outcome of it.... :)

We got 2 cabinets out of the 4 magnetic boards! :)

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of arranging our fridge magnets collection into these new cabinets :)

Love them all!! :) But among my favorites are :

Among my first collections from the States

Some collections from Europe

Like I said.... I LOVE THEM ALL!! Tak larat nak ambil gambar bebanyak... huhu :)
