You taught me well to trust myself in all that I do…
to enjoy the simple things life has to offer…
to be honest and true…
to give back to the world…
to look for the best in others, while always trying to be...
the best person I can be.

My heart is full of love
to my teacher
my mentor
my friend
my one and only MAK

I LOVE YOU MAK and happy mother's day!!!!!

Note: Chiaq = Granpa/Grandad or some of our modern'ers' wud be calling wan(no no..not 1)

:: MOTHER's DAY is coming your way ::

a few days back, i received an email from my x-deputy dean-a very motivational and full of sincerity. she has been called back to UTM to finish her contract there. she sent this email on Angel a.k.a Mother. i was very touched reading the email. back then when i was not a mother, i sobbed thinking of my mom while reading the poem. and this time, i sobbed too thinking of my mom (balik keja teruih pi nyembang2 ngan mak) and thinking of how my children will treat me..will they treat me the way i treat my parents ..im hoping so.

the email ~ i dont know how true is email is but moral of the story is very touching!

Malaikatmu...tersentuh hati...(bacalah...ambillah masa walaupun 1 minit)

Suatu hari seorang bayi siap untuk dilahirkan ke dunia...

Dia bertanya kepada Tuhan : ' Para malaikat disini mengatakan bahawa besok Engkau akan mengirimkan saya kedunia, tetapi bagaimana cara saya hidup disana; saya begitu kecil dan lemah ?'

Dan Tuhan menjawab: 'Aku telah memilih satu malaikat untukmu. Ia akan menjaga dan mengasihimu '

Bayi bertanya lagi: 'Tetapi disini; didalam syurga ini, apa yang saya lakukan hanyalah bernyanyi, bermain dan tertawa...Inikan sudah cukup bagi saya untuk berbahagia.'

'Malaikatmu akan bernyanyi dan tersenyum untukmu setiap hari. Dan kamu akan merasakan kehangatan cintanya dan menjadi lebih berbahagia'

'Dan bagaimana bisa saya mengerti disaat orang-orang berbicara kepada saya jika saya tidak mengerti bahasa mereka ?'

'Malaikatmu akan berbicara kepadamu dengan bahasa yang paling indah yang pernah kamu dengar; dan dengan penuh kesabaran dan perhatian. Dia akan mengajar kepadamu cara berbicara.'

'Dan apa yang akan saya lakukan saat saya ingin berbicara kepadaMu ?'

'Malaikatmu akan mengajarkan bagaimana cara kamu berdoa'

'Saya mendengar bahawa di Bumi banyak orang jahat. Siapa yang akan melindungi saya ?

'Malaikatmu akan melindungimu; walaupun hal tersebut mungkin akan mengancam jiwanya'

'Tapi, saya pasti akan merasa sedih kerana tidak melihatMu lagi'

'Malaikatmu akan menceritakan kepadamu tentang Aku, dan akan mengajarkan bagaimana agar kamu bisa kembali kepadaKu; walaupun sesungguhnya Aku akan sentiasa disisimu'

Disaat itu, Syurga begitu tenang dan heningnya sehingga suara dari Bumi dapat terdengar, dan sang bayi bertanya perlahan

'Tuhan, jika saya harus pergi sekarang, bisakah Kamu memberitahuku nama malaikat tersebut?'

'Kamu akan memanggil malaikatmu itu: 'IBU '

Ingatlah sentiasa kasih sayang dan pengorbanan ibu. Berbakti, berdoa dan cintailah dia sepanjang masa... Dialah sesatunya harta yang tiada galang gantinya dunia akhirat...

Dan untuk para ibu, ingatlah kisah ini dikala kamu hilang sabar dengan karenah anak-anak yang sedang membesar...sesungguh nya Syurga itu dibawah telapak kakimu...

as for the celebration, i plan to cook dinner for my mom. she loves carnation and roses, that too will be on the table.. :) but those just cudnt be at par with what she had given, showered, teach, comfort me. i love u Mak..

:: Short Trip to Penang :: Ureshii ne

we started off at around 7.30 am from home. Azfar as usual woke up around 6am and he too was busy 'lending hands' with the bags. :) i was busy preparing for ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~ stuffs azfar just cudnt stop helping me..hehehe..he just want me to carry..takut org tinggai dia la tu..

we tested the Picasso. damn it was a gud ride. we took the ferry. Azfar was so thrilled and cudnt stop waving at the sea...splashing towards the ferry..heheh..it was fun!! reached the penang island and went straight to Komtar to get mat over's 85mm canon lens. stopped at the stadium for lunch and off we go to Mothercare Gurney..yeay! frankly, i did not find any outstanding items for my son. so i just bought him 3 pairs of socks and a handsome t-shirt. that was all.

Q-ing for the ferry

we joined the afternoon game session buat that was only for 1/2 hour. Azfar wanted to have his afternoon nap. Later, we had no choice but to get KFC mashed potato for him. Luckily during the dinner they serve Kanji (rice porridge with santan and chicken, veges and shrimps). Azfar enjoyed the dinner and guess what?? baba got himself a FRIDGE!!!(lucky draw) hehehehe...

shopping at the Cold Storage?? not this time, we settled with giant aloq staq :D

:: Some Updates ::

I was very very very busy >>with the stressful office environment (oopssss, i cant say much since im an emotional+unprofesional personel). Wat ever it takes, my Sundays with my 2 sweethearts definitely unstopable + undisturbable (is there such word??)

at around 11 am, azfar fell asleep and so my kitchen starts to smell :) smells good surely! :) I was inspired by a TV show on AFC - it was Food Lovers Guide To Australia. It showed this simple Thai Chicken and so i decided to try the recipe. and yes, it was proven marvelously simple and finger lickin' good! so try one urself.

from my pathetic kitchen-AYAM PADPED

and on that nite, after a visit to my inlaw's, Ipi, Nun and the 3 of us, went to MyCafe. we tried the new section which was fully air-conditioned. and it was cozy. Azfar cudnt stop looking at those cute dimed lites, the red walls.. :) we enjoyed our dinner!
