Langkawi's Trip With CIk Arale's Family

Mid November 09, kami sekeluarga bersama keluarga teman rapat saya, Nur Azrah Suleman @ cik arale telah terbang ke kota mahsuri@ Langkawi. Trip yang mengambil masa 3 hari 2 mlm. Kami menginap di Apartment Kondo Istana. Buat teman saya, merupakan kali pertama tapi bagi kami, dah beberapa kali. Mulanya, trip ini dibuat kerana saya ingin bershopping-sakan pinggan mangkuk. Oleh kerana, kewangan yang tidak mengizinkan. Tidak banyak barang yang dapat di beli. Saya tidak pula merasa kesal tapi tentu saja sedikit terkilan.. tapi semestinya terdapat kebaikan atau hikmah yang berlimpah luah atas peristiwa ini iaitu tidak lain tidak bukan, duit saya tidak habis!! Ha ha. Maklum saja, simpan sedikit untuk dibawa ke bandung nanti. Syurga beli belah; kata orang. Saya akan tahu juga nanti!! Terima kasih abang yang memberi keizinan. Nampaknya memang hiruk memandangkan kebanyakkan anggota rombongan merupakan ibu2 muda yang meninggalkan anak dalam jagaan suami. Cerita itu akan saya kongsikan nanti .

Untuk cerita di langkawi, saya tak rasa banyak yang ingin dikongsikan memandangkan ramai rakan2 blogger yang telah menjejakkan kaki di sana atau mungkin telah berkali-kali ke sana kampung halaman mereka (yang ini saya tujukan buat kak laila) atau mungkin ke sana kerana agenda shopping yang menyeronokkan. Tapi, tidak salah rasanya jika saya katakan percutian ini amat menggembirakan kami sekeluarga. Waktu yang dikongsi sangat berharga. Tentu sekali yang paling bahagia adalah si kecil, athirah, iman & arissa. Dapat menaiki kapal terbang, berada lebih tinggi dari awan nan putih, langit nan biru, melanggari awan yang memutih. Jika tidak gembira, masa kan suaranya kedengaran dari hujung ke hujung, dari penjuru ke penjuru.

"Wahhh so high!!! ; higher then the clouds"; dan yang paling menarik, apabila dia melihat stewardess yang memberi penerangan tentang penggunaan peralatan kecemasan, dia mengaitkan kejadian-kejadian ini seperti dalam cerita Madagaskar2 dengan satu jeritan.

" Ayah!! kita nak crash landing ke ayah????" ; yang mana kapal terbang ini akan terjatuh diakhirnya. Peminat-peminat madagaskar2 akan lebih memahami!! Lucu, buat kami.

Friends & Family,

Nikmati gambar-gambar di picasaweb ini, :D Terima kasih buat jurukamera terhormat keluarga kami, Norman Hafiz @ buah hati saya!!

P/s: Athirah sangat ingin bertemu lagi dengan arissa, bile boleh berjumpa lagi ya cik arale?

Kerusi Panas- OPick

Alhamdulillah. Syukur padamu ya Allah atas nikmatmu yang berlimpah luah pada kami sekeluarga. Dua hari dulu, aku telah berpeluang untuk mendengar interview antara Aunur Rofiq Lil Firdaus atau lebih dikenali sebagai OPICK dan Azlan selaku pengacara dalam rancangan kerusi panas di RADIO BERNAMA, sedikit sebanyak telah memberi pengajaran padaku. Bagi yang kurang mengetahui, opick merupakan seorang aktivitis agama dalam bidang seni yang mana kerjaya seninya merangkumi penulisan, nyanyian, menerbitan dan lain-lain. Anak seni yang serba boleh, very down to earth & mempunyai pemikiran yang kritis. Walaupun hanya berpeluang mendengar di tengah-tengah rancangan dalam perjalanan pulang dari tempat kerja, namun masih dapat menangkap bual bicara tersebut dengan hati yang tenang dan damai. Menarik juga pulang lewat sedikit , dapat mengikuti rancangan “kerusi panas” !!.:D.Bual bicara radio yang amat informative. Antara perbualan yang menyentuh sanubari ku yang ingin dikongsikan.

Azlan: Apakah cabaran terbesar yang opick hadapi sepanjang berada dalam bidang ini

Opick: Ada satu ketika, orang memanggil saya dengan panggil ustad, kiyai, seolah-olah saya alim ulama’. Waktu itu, saya terfikir… saya bukan orang sebaik itu, saya tidak layak untuk gelaran itu. Jadi saya tidak membalas kata-kata mereka. Saya hanya tersenyum. Dalam hati saya, saya berdoa agar Allah jadikan saya seperti kata-kata mereka.

Azlan: Anda berada dalam bidang seni nasyid, dalam masa yang sama anda juga mencari rezeki; bagaimana anda menghadapinya.

Opick: Bagi saya, apapun yang kita lakukan biarlah di jalan Allah. Biar kita politikus, biarlah politikus kita di jalan Allah. Seperti saya, saya di dalam bidang seni, saya lakukan di jalan Allah.

Sungguh saya tersentuh, sebenarnya walau dilapangan mana pun kita bekerja, seharusnya kita melakukan nya dijalan Allah. Selain mendapatkan rezeki yang bersih dan berkat, kita harus berusaha untuk terus melakukan di jalan Allah. Tentu terdapat cara untuk kita mengajak orang disekeliling kita malahan kita sendiri untuk menuju kea rah kebaikan, kebahagian dunia dan akhirat.

Dalam diam, aku berdoa.” Ya Allah, jadikan hati ku semulia hati manusia ini. Ingatkan aku agar selalu berbuat baik dan melakukan sesuatu apapun di jalan mu ya Allah. Jadikan aku selalu bersyukur dengan nikmatmu. “Tanda aku sedari,aku tiba di pagar rumahku. abang sudah pulang, dan aku pasti kongsikan cerita ini dengan abang nanti.!! Pasti!

Cornetto Love

Last weekend, we went to One Utama. Athirah had her cornnetto ice-cream. She ate that ice-cream until the last drop.

When the it was almost over, only half cone left without ice-cream on it. Suddenly, the cone dropped on the floor . My hubby said

“Its dirty!! Tak payah ambil lagi… “

Looking frustrated, She thought for while, hesitated.. picked it up…. Belek-belek.. And put it back on her mouth. It was so quick, Unable to stop her.
While crunching the cone for a while,she said… “Hmmm.. tade la ayah.. okey je ni …”

Hehehehhehhehe..

Moral of the story. From now on, we know that she wont easily believe on what we says.. she’ll analyse it herself.. good... but bahaya jugak ni. La la..

BP2010 $$$

I started my day with numbers. Today, I'm going to complete BP2010 for my division, just for the initiative part. The overall will be submitted next week.Its been my 4th years with budget controller thingy. It was promised for 2 years and now already dragged for 4 years.

Please ayu... please.. no more changes please... lalala...

By the way... How to stay F O C U S ??

Ramadhan Oh Ramadhan

To share, during yesterday berbuka, I cooked Sambal Goreng & Udang masak lemak cili padi with kacang buncis and Tempoyak… It turns out very nice. I wish I could share a picture here but I’m too lazy to go get the big camera upstairs while the food is already there to be eaten. That’s why I need a new camera. ^_^

I wish for a small camera, which able to fit in my bag where I can get it easily whenever I required. Suggest me any, with price less than RM 500 maybe? By the way, pictures below are just display. I just get from googling to other friends page. MY udang is with buncis.. yes yes.. and tempoyak, so the yellow colour is darker.

Happy Ramadhan Al-mubarakh

Plse note that this was written 3 days before ramadhan:

Ramadhan is nearer. I Hope I’m going to do better this year. Frankly, my amalan will be more better when I’m pregnant because the thought of a baby in my worm will be lots more comfortable by listening to quran recites. The momentum is already there from the beginning. Currently, I read quran 1 page daily and skip that whenever iman or athirah need something from me. Excuses!! Excuses!!

Aren’t these supposed to be like a test to my iman/amalan? Other people face lots more bigger test than this. Like people in Palestine, mother lost her children/husband or people had an accident. How to solve this? Hey I know….. I should be pregnant every time the Ramadan comes in. hehehehe..

Hopefully, our Ramadan journey will be better this year. InsyaAllah.
Here’s my list:

1. I read quran everyday, to qhatam by the end of ramadhan.
2. Do tarawikh/ Tahajud
3. Calming. ^_^

Amin
Happy Ramadhan everyone. Forgive me for all the mistake I made. May this al-mubarakh be one we benefit fully from and give us a great increase in Iman (faith).

Pink??

I want to change my layout.. I dont want pink anymore. Its too strinking. :D.hm what colour should it be. ? hm by the way, actually i just want to share my athirah's bedroom. I did this with my hubby at ... hm can see the clock on the wall? you like it..? I think it cute and pink!! haha pink again.... but Athirah still wants to sleep with us. Pack on our queen bed. and end up hubby sleeping on the floor (with toto)... kesian :D .... but now we have a brand new toto from Kelantan. so its quite comfy when double it.

Happy 3rd birthday Izzah Athirah.

It was celebrated twice . First, on the birthday itself and another one is on the weekend which we invited some of our close friends and family. It was just a small party but enough to make our little darling happy.

On her birthday itself, hubby bought a small chocolate cheesecake from the nearest shop. I forgot the shop name but the owner was the chef of hilton hotel. (entahkan benar?? ) . Hubby managed to arrive earlier than us (which he usually doesn't) . So, I went in and put the candle on and hide behind the wall while ayah & athirah was having a great time playing the football outside. so what happened was Ayah kickn' the ball to the livn' hall and Athirah went in to pickup. Immediately, I went out with the cake on my hand (with the candle on). It was dark because its already maghrib. so the moment was there lah :D... We sang happy birthday to her. ...She was jumping up and down and repeatedly said " atiyah nye birthday ke.. for me?? " hehhehe.. She looks so happy and bundle with joy. It was a happy moment for us too. Her expression was priceless. It was a little suprise yet the happiness was all over it.




and we had another celebration over the weekend. I managed to cook few meals like meehon goreng spore, sausage roll, some jellies and chicken nuggests. jadilah kan.. :D. lain kali I will organize besar2an punye... that night was AF finale so everybody was rushing back home. :D. unfortunately , it was a bad performance from Hafiz. sian la peminat2 die termasuk makngah n auntie amy ye.. :D tula sape suh balik awal. layan athirah lagi best.. By the way, Thanks for the pressie ya everyone!!

My little girl has already grown up.. so fast :(. I love you sayang. I hope that you'll be good daughter & a wonderful muslimah. InsyaAllah.

Bagan Lalang

Now, I wonder why I took IT and end up working for T*. I should go for tourism. * Evil laugh*. Ada org nak tuka profession tak? he he

blueberry muffin with chocolate chips on top

Yesterday, after dinner. I made a promise with my dear Athirah that we would make blueberry muffin Saje saje aje! He he. Its just a mother and daughter get- together- thingy. Actually, I was a little tired because its weekdays and I need to prepare myself for work the next day. But, she was soooo excited and I just don’t want to let her down. She even turned the little Einstein down you know. :D.. Its her favourite cartoon series in disney channel...

* excited nampak camera.. nak pose aje.. hish hish.. rosak muffin ku.

And TADAAAA... heres OUR MUFFINS...BLUEBERRY MUFFIN WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS ON TOP..

All in all, we managed to bake 12 blueberry muffins with chocolate chips on top. It was long process since I need to wait for her to complete all the processes. So sabar je lah kan. Lihat saja hasilnya, ada yang tinggi, ade yang rendah.. ade yang gemuk, ada yang kurus.. mcm family ku juga.. :D ha ha.

notekaki: It was my first attempt to bake with my new oven. Yes Yes.. everybody. I’ve got myself A brand new oven and ... I lurrrve it..

Now, I'm a mother of 2 :)

Iman Rayhannah binti Norman Hafiz
Lambat betul update blog dan lambat sangat2 buat introduction walaupun sebenarnya duduk d rumah je. :)... Alhamdulillah pada 19.1.2009, kami telah menerima kehadiran seorang lagi cahaya mata perempuan yang beratnye 3.75kg di hospital Annur Bangi. Actual EDD: 12.1.2009, dah overdue seminggu. Ibunya sangat-sangatlah takut sebab baby dah estimate memang besar. Bukan apa, Kak long Athirah dulu pun 3.5kg dan memang experienced kesukaran waktu push.. Contraction I can handle (During that time lah). The situation are different with this one. Mana taknya, kali ini went through so call natural delivery with no drip and gas. Epidural memang kami tak plan nak ambil. I thought I can handled the pain and clearly I was wrong. :( . But I still think that If at least they gave me drip and the contraction wont be too long. On that time, I did say to my hubby that I dont think I want to pregnant again eventhough we did planned to have 4-6 childrenn before. Ntahlah, waktu tu macam-macam I cakap. I just cant handle the pain anymore. During the delivery, I asked Dr Khamsiah to vacum. Tu lah die, mummy dah negative susah la sikit kan. Hopefully, as the time passby I wont remember the pain. But, seriously... I will choose Ampang Puteri for the 3rd lah. At least, ada gas n drip. Epidural kat Ampang Putri mahal.... nampaknye hubby kene la readykan duitnye nanti... Eh Eh..... alamak, ade yang 3rd nih :P.

Oklah enough said.. Alhamdulillah, hari nih Iman dah pun berusia 3 minggu.. lambat betul masa berlalu. I cant wait for my confinement period to over. See!! I'm having a problem staying home.... :). Apelah mummy nih...by the way, Tak sempat nak buat introduction eventhough I already did that in facebook :). Introducing Iman Rayhannah binti Norman Hafiz. Kami semua panggil die Iman. Tapi rasa-rasa kawan die nanti mesti panggil die Ray kan? ha ha... Rayhannah maksud nye harum/wangi.. iman direct translation la kan. So nye bile di combinekan jadilah keharuman iman. Mudah2an Iman nya akan sentiasa harum mewangi mewarnai dan menghiasi peribadimu ya sayang :) Amin... :) Alhamdulilah, iman sihat.... asik tidur menyiarap. sekarang ni pun Ibu menaip kat sebelah Iman yang sedang tidur... nyenyaknyee die.. kejap lagi ibu join ek. Ayah & Kak Long Athirah tatau lah buat ape kat bawah tu. main computer kot.. tak pun tengok TV.

Oklah ibu dah geram , ibu nak tidur jugak.... nakkkkkkk.. taaa....ZZzzzZzzzz,,
