My first post for 2017.  I don't expect much in 2017 but praying for much better and peacful life.  It has been a 2016 struggle for me and the whole family.  Nevertheless, am keeping my head high up to face come what may.   Cooked simple dish for dinner as everyone seems to be in sombre mood somehow.  Anyway, these simple dish of salted bitter mustard and omelet is among the many of my favourite simple dish.  Missing the cili padi of course which I can't go without.  

Asssalamualaikum dear blog, First of all, nak madah ajak sik ada istilah Monday blues.  Any other day can be blues to you if you perceive so.  Its all in the mind tek nak.... Bila dah malas ataupun dah sik ada idea agik nak berblog last2 berugak segala macam dalam internet tok..hahaha...and I found this...dalam jenaka tersirat maksudnya..apa kata org tek..mun paham bisa nak?...   Apa2 pun I have been so busy this past month, malas nak madah kata orang. Suffice to say 2014 has not been kind to me but am thankful I can still cope with all the struggle so far. Hanya Allah yang maha mengetahui.   Malas nak ngerepak panjang, setiap apa yang berlaku ada hikmahnya.  Till then, have a nice week ahead my dear blog.  

At this point of time, I just don't want to think about.  Friends and relatives will always pop this favourite question, when are you going to settle down? bla, bla, bla, bla.....My only answer is Allah knows what is best for me.  So relax and stop thinking about it ya!  

Last december yours truly turned 45 and I had 3 quiet celebrations with closed buddies. Alhamdulillah indeed I feel blessed with Your blessings and rahmat ya Allah. Ok..am not going to go lovey dovey over all these. And I had the opportunity to try this pic collage thingy. Had so much fun with this application.

"Maybe I am comfortable with my life and don't feel the need to find a partner.  But if love comes my way, I will accept.  But for me to go out and look for it may not happen"..my exact thougths at the moment.  

How does it feel when you are trapped for about 1/2 hour in the elevator alone?  Scary?...definitely scary but I was lucky that the light was on and the scary feeling was not evident but I just kept looking back at my shoulder as if "something" was behind me.  As  my patience was running thin seconds passed, I pressed the help button frantically till I heard voices calling out for me and asking me to stay calm.  I did and the ordeal ended and it was indeed gratifying to see other human beings.  After that incident, I am still traumatic and I would not enter the elevator without any company. And if I have to go alone, I would choose to use the staircase.  Of course going down is the easy part but when I have to come up to my office at the 3rd floor, either I would look for company or I'll get two or three of my colleagues to send me off upstairs.      Incidentally a week before there were a few similar cases and someone told ...

An ex-classmate passed away this morning of brain tumor. He was 44 years old, we were not close but he was one that used to tease a lot of girls and trying to get their attention in his own funny little way. Alfatihah to allahyarham Darmanshah. Moga rohmu dicucuri rahmatNYA dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman.

'Lambat crita la kau tok'..as usual that was the response from my friend. Akulah orangnya yang sentiasa lambat minat akan sesuatu especially segala program drama dalam TV. Orang lain dah berkaol2 nanga, masuk forum keluar forum, masuk fanpage fb dan macam-macam lagik ...and here I am baruk nak start enjen kata urghang...LOL Macam kes aku dengan NE awal tahun tok tek...dah abis drama NE baruk nak nanga...that's me...LOL....and now demam 'Tentang Dhia'...my sister is already giving me that 'aku-dah-madah-look'... welllllllllllll....whatever lah....

Talking about December it seems that everyone (almost la kot?) is talking about Ombak Rindu the movie...me?..am not that excited though I've read the novel countlessly. I just love the whole story and the novel is indeed a tear-jerker but I have second thoughts about the movie though, of course temptation wise I would want to watch it cos Aaron Aziz is the hero. But I'm scared?...scared?.pelik kan?..takut?..apa nak ditakutkan nanga wayang OR. I have a knack of expecting the movie to be 100% as in the novel..that is ridiculous of course, yaaaaaaa but I can't help it. Mbok is nagging me to watch the movie this weekend and I have not given her any responses yet. I have yet to watch Happy Feet, Puss in Boots and Twilight: Breaking Dawn ...***sigh***...so which is which now...ine meeny miney mo... Picture credit of Official Homepage of Ombak Rindu

Gambar dari Mr Google Sebenarnya awal pagi dah dikejutkan dengan gambar pernikahan pasangan yang boleh dikatakan rapat dengan aku & N. Honestly, I just can't figure out my exact feelings when I saw their wedding photos which I saw in my friend's facebook. Nak marah?..mmmm..nope...kecik ati?...nahi, nahi, nahi...but aku doakan kalian berbahagia hendaknya, moga dimurahkan rezeki dan dirahmati Allah sentiasa. Sebenarnya this couple assumed that both of us(me & N) did not know about their complicated relationship. And the funny thing is some of their friends assumed the same. We knew about the whole complicated things from N's sister who are closed to all parties involved with their 'secret'. Unfortunately that "secret" had destroyed their relationship (all parties involved except for me and N).  And from what I understand from N's sister, seems that all of them are suspicious of each other and occasionally if they happen to bump into e...

Wordless Wednesday huh?...Can't say much but at times I find it so hard to say no and when I finally did said no, I felt so good though I was in a limbo initially. Ok, don't wanna write much here, mood masih kureng.

When you least expect it to happen, suddenly it's right there in front of you. Alhamdulillah, Allah telah makbulkan doaku. I have been on a long search for so many years to locate some of my friends in primary school. Frankly I don't have any reunion thingy in mind but I would love to see if not all some of them and a short message in my facebook a few days ago triggered the whole thing. Less than 24 hours later my facebook were full of invitations from my classmates and schoolmates. Then some of the memories started to fall into pieces, though I was and still am struggling to remember some of them. Perhaps another reunion or gathering in the very near future, seems that some of us managed to track the lost sheep. Some have migrated to Australia, Canada and working all over the places across the globe. But the memories and the stories that some of the guys shared in the page has certainly rekindled some sweet memories indeed and brought the smile in me. And from then onward it...

Awal pagi aku dikejutkan dengan berita kematian rakan sekampus ku. Kamek duak dolok satu office di Canselori dari tahun 2002 hingga 2008, selepas ya aruah berpindah ke Bahagian Aset. Allahyarham Muliadi bin Sunip berusia 36 tahun meninggal dunia dalam satu kejadian ngeri dimana aruah dipercayai terperangkap dalam keretanya apabila keretanya telah meletup dan terbakar di kawasan kampungnya di Kampung Baru, Samarahan pada awal pagi 7 Ogos 2011 bersamaan dengan 7 Ramadhan 1432H. Rasa macam berbulak jak bila nerimak berita kematiannya pagi tadi.  And I can't still forget about it till now.  Sedih aku sebagai kawan siklah sama dengan kesedihan anak-anak dan bininya.  Aruah meninggalkan 3 orang anak-anak yang masih kecil, yang bongsu baru 10 bulan dan bininya seorang surirumahtangga.  Banyak kenangan pahit manis sewaktu bekerja sama dengan aruah dolok. Tapi biarlah segalanya menjadi kenangan manis bagi kamek orang yang pernah bekerja sama dengan...

Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan datang lagi.    Selamat menyambut ramadhan al-mubarak 1432 Hijrah buat semua muslimin dan muslimat. Syukur alhamdulillah, umur kita dipanjangkan untuk terus menikmati bulan Ramadhan yang penuh berkat pada tahun ini.  Saya ingin memohon ampun dan maaf dari hujung rambut hingga ke hujung kaki atas segala silap.  Salam sayang untuk semua ahli keluarga, sanak-saudara dan kawan-kawan sekelian.

I was on sick leave due to tonsillitis last Tuesday and Wednesday. This time around the tonsil was worst and I was struggling to swallow solid food and drink. The doctor prescribed some guggling liquid but that seem to make it worst. Lastly mom suggested that I drank some tamarind juice and alhamdulillah it helped and I was coughing away some mucus after countless litres of the tamarind juice. Think this is the only time I gobbled up loads of tamarind juice...ahaks. Alhamdulillah I am getting better though I could still the twinge of pain when swallowing.   Specially to Mizz Coki , this is my workstation, you've seen my previous workstation so this is my current workstation.  How?...Would you prefer the glass table or fancy this typical L-shape table?... That's all for now, still feeling a little bit giddy after taking my medication, I must confess this is the first time I am taking the antibiotics tablets religiously.  If not, after feeling...

Have you ever had that feeling of having difficulty to letgo of something? Well, I have and am experiencing that feeling now...eeeeeeeeeeeee geram aih... ! Btw, this particular song is not related at all to this sudden outburst. Need to get it out of my system somehow. ***sigh***

Bersamaan dengan 2 Syaaban 1432 Hijrah, I lost a beautiful and loving aunt (mum's first cousin)Hajah Dahlia binti Haji Sulong last night. She was 67 years old and passed away peacefully amongst all her beloved family members. Unfortunately I was not there because I just came back from the office around 7:30 pm. My sister and mom was already at Ngah's place by 5:00pm and Mom called me around 5:30 yesterday to tell me that both of them were visiting Ngah. I thought that it just a normal visit just like the usual visits that we used to do either weekly or monthly. None of us expected the worst. Whatever it is, according to sis Mona, she passed away peacefully. Terasa nyesal juak sik singgah ngagaknya last Sunday, I was suppose to send my car for washing at her place but I told myself, perhaps this week..lagikpun whenever I send my car for washing I would make it a point to bake a cake or something as buah tangan to her, as she loves to eat cakes. Unfortunately that Sunday...

Ladies and gentlemen, please take your number and we will attend to you shortly!!!...Ahaks...I wish!!! That was somehow how I felt beginning of this week till now. I am extremely busy with the booking of flights and hotels for the lecturers travelling to monitor our students undergoing industrial training at designated offices throughout the country. Rasa kedak kaunter tiket MAS, Airasia duak Firefly juak eh. Ya baruk sikit, berapa orang jak lecturer compared to those being attended by those travel agents...Perasan sekejap jak bah...LOL!  Been making calls after calls,   jangan ingat orang yang bertelefon yang sik kepak..kepak aih, kepak berkelakar and making enquiries here and there. Sometimes, some people overlook and think that relak jak kerja bertalipon ya.....last-last kelak madah orang sik da kerja lain, bertalipon ajak. Aih..emosi juak..hehee..lepas geram jak bah...bila kerja kedak tok diunderestimate oleh orang lain. Kadang-kadang bila sak ati nengar komen-komen k...

Alkisahnya bila ada sorang ya merajuk, keluarlah dari rumah tanpa izin encik suami..jauh juak lari ya sampei ke Kuching, nasib bait la ada family di Kuching. Bila dah merajuk ngan marah, anak-anaklah jadi penghubung antara keduanya.. Aku sik tauklah macam ney laki bini lain berkelai but from my observation, level marah sidak duak controllable and manageable, si isteri hanya marah dengan si suami and alhamdulillah anak-anak sik dijadikan tempat melepaskan marah itu.  Walaupun malam si isteri melarikan diri itu, salah seorang anak dan si suami kemalangan, kereta yang didreb oleh si suami dilanggar oleh sebuah kereta Hilux.  Bak kata si isteri, tiada niat nak keluar rumah tanpa izin tapi otak dah tension gilak, sik dapat berfikir dengan waras, tambah2 bila famili sendiri bukan nak nolongnya, nak molah benda makin kusut lagik ada.  Mmmmmm, entahlah I can't comment..aku sekadar memujuk dan memberi kata semangat ajak...... So jadilah sesi pujuk mem...
