Introducing Gazza & Liza's Bundle of Joy

On 8 November 2009, my childhood friend, Norkhalizah Khalis @ Liza gave birth to a 3.3kg healthy baby girl via emergency c-sect. The emergency c-sect was performed because the baby was 4 days overdue and had signs of distress. I took the opportunity to visit her with two of my high school friends, Zureen and Ja.

I arrived at the hospital about 15 minutes after Ja and Zureen came. Ja brought along Amir Harith, her second son, who shares the same birthday as Aira, 7 January 2009 :o)

As usual, when old friends meet, it will be pure havoc, even if it is in the hospital. Luckily there was no occupant in the next bed. But we did control our kekecohan because we had to be considerate towards Liza, who cannot enjoy the laughter as much as we do. Harith kept himself entertained but most of the time, Uncle Gazza did the babysitting job. Takpe..practice bro!

Good job Uncle Gazza

Gorgeous girl :o)

But I have to say that I envy both Zureen and Ja. Their freedom and flexibility. I wish I was like them..sigh!

After visiting Liza, we headed to Great Eastern Mall for a snack. After that, we said our goodbyes as we had other matters to attend to.

It is always good to meet up with old friends. I've known Liza since I was 7, Zureen since I was 10 and Ja since I was 13. They remind you of the best times of your life, during your childhood when everything was so simple, carefree and easy. And I felt better after talking and confiding in them. I hope we will still be friends in the long run and live to visit each other's grandchildren.


Friends For Life, insya-Allah

Love at First Taste

A year ago while I was pregnant with Aira, one of my cravings would be this...



Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte

I tried to stay away from caffeine when I was pregnant but this, I couldn't resist. I even had to stay away from Alamanda to fight the temptations. In my defense, I only started drinking coffee, this Toffee Nut Latte in particular, when it makes its annual appearance in conjunction with Christmas. TERBAIK if taken with Berry X'Mas Sandwich. Simply YUMMY!

Now it's back! Stay away, Yong!!

Scene Stealer

I was stuck in the traffic on the way back from work. Apparently there was an accident involving a car and a motorcycle in front of Serdang Hospital. Managed to listen to Red.fm Scene Stealer segment, where a sound from a movie soundtrack is played, as requested by the listeners. Today's song is one of my favourite cheezy song, from the soundtrack of Con Air.

HOW DO I LIVE - TRISHA YEARWOOD

How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, oh Baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
I
f you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

Please tell me baby
How do I go on

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know that you're everything good in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

how do I live without you
how do I live without you baby
how do I live....

Newly crowned parents

Congratulations to my friends, Liza & Gazza on the birth of their daughter on 8/11/2009. The healthy baby girl weighs 3.3kg and was delivered via emergency c-sect. Hopefully I get to visit them soon.

Salam Takziah

Takziah to my UA81 classmate, Sharifah Fazlinda Shaik Ismail (ChePah) and family ke atas kepulangan ayahanda beliau ke rahmatullah, setahun selepas arwah ibu beliau menyahut seruan Ilahi.

Semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan golongan yang beriman dan beramal soleh. AMIN.

Al-Fatihah..

Selamat Pengantin Baru Zaty & Kamarudzaman

Today I attended Zaty's wedding at Dengkil. Zaty was my classmate during A-Levels. She was one of the Convent girls...hehehe! She is also my next door neighbour in the noisy 3rd floor hostel.

I spent the night at D.U yesterday so Dida and I planned to meet up at KLIA since Ikram wanted to open an account with CIMB and one of the CIMB's operating on Sunday is at KLIA. The plan was to meet at 12.30 noon because Zaty's majlis bersanding was scheduled at 12.45 but I only arrived at KLIA at that time. Since I was the one who brought the map, I lead the way, although I did warn her that there are bound to be several U-turns as maps and I do not get along..haha!

I remembered making 1 U-turn and I think we were on the right track but the drive seemed so long, I wondered if we were heading at the right direction. Finally when we reached Kolej Teknologi Timur, I made a stopped, told Dida and Ikram that this bimbo cannot read maps and decided that Ikram should lead the way. Turned out that we were going the right way (~so I take back my bimbo confession~) and finally arrived at Zaty's house in Kampung Jenderam Hilir at 1.15 p.m.

Alhamdulillah, the groom's party also arrived late so we managed to chat with Zaty for a while and watch pengantin berarak. Aira cried when she heard the kompang. We all sat, ate and chatted..mostly about our kids. As much as I wanted to bitch about work, I can't do so due to circumstances. Managed to squash Kahlil, Dida's son who is so damn adorable! We stayed there for about an hour, took photos with the newlyweds and left at about 2.30 p.m.

Selamat Pengantin Baru Zatilaziya & Kamarudzaman! Semoga kekal hingga ke anak cucu. AMIN!!

Terry Fox Run 2009

Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, CC (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer treatment activist. He became famous for the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research, which Fox ran with one prosthetic leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research.

Last Sunday, my husband and I participated in the Terry Fox Run 2009 at Lake Garden. This is my first time participating, but Rafiq's second. I didn't get to join last year because I was pregnant with Aira. We were also joined by my brother in-law, Feroz and Geng DP, Kak Eja, Wawa and Didi. Yang kelakarnya, Geng DP memula detour ke Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, thinking the event was held there. Nasib baik wa tepon!

Aanyways, alhamdulillah Geng DP made it on time, and sempat tengok pelbagai ragam orang yang participate. Young, old, bare foot, on bicycles, roller blades, with families, colleagues. Memang ramai orang. I saw JJ from Hitz.fm...ngeeee! Rafiq joined the Sarong Party Gang...as he did last year. this year the run was divided into 3.5km and 5km. It started at about 9 a.m.





Sarong Party Gang + Starbucks Baristas


Start jalan. Ramai kan participants?

All of us walked diikuti dengan aksi cam-whoring yang terlampau. We walked most of the journeys..except when our cameramen (Feroz & Did) were focusing on us..hahaha! Initially we wanted to do the 5km run but ended up doing 3.5km (except for Rafiq who were wondering where the heck we were...hahahah!) Didi sempat ajar Feroz teknik mengambil gambar lagi!


Macam-macam gaya


Apa yang penting??! ADA GAYA!!!




Tengah tunggu photography lessons abis daaaa!


Drawing and colouring competition for children


Dah jalan jauh kena makan lebih!!

We left Lake Garden at about 10.30 p.m. I think there were other activities. Yasmin Yusuf was the mc for the event and when we left there were dancers doing bhangra. I really had a great time!
