3 Days, 3 Movies

During my 10 day leave, I took the opportunity to watch these movies:


1. Princess & The Frog with Ms. Rose

Typical feel-good Disney movie. I loved it as it reminded me of Disney Movies that I used to love like Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast and others. I love the characters especially the alligator and the firefly. And Evangeline, of course..hehe! Although I do feel that they could do less with the singing. When the flamingoes joined it, I thought they were over-doing it a bit.

2. Avatar with hubby

A.W.E.S.O.M.E!! I simply can't imagine how James Cameron could think of doing that movie. Throughout the 2 1/2 hours period, I kept saying to hubby, "Camne diaorang terfikir nak buat movie macam ni ek?!" I definitely vote it to be 2009 Movie of the Year! I hope it'll win loads of awards! And Jake Sully is so yummy!

3. Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 with Amy & Faiq

You can't expect much from a movie which features talking chipmunks. Ms. Rose cannot accept movies as such e.g Stuart Little and the likes. But I though Faiq might enjoy it! Although he didn't sit still, I guess he did enjoy the movie. And the Chippets were a cute addition! They sang Corrine Rae-Bailey's Put Your Records On, Katy Perry's Hot and Cold and Beyonce's All The Single Ladies. There was a team-up song, We are Family, so I can bet there'll be another sequel!

I'm actually impressed with myself, having watched 3 movies in 3 days. Normally, I'll be like scratching my head, thinking what was the last movie I saw..hehehe.

The Cutest Thing :o)

Aira has not been feeling well, thus I decided to send her to my in-laws house. This morning, while I was waiting for the front gate to be unlocked, I heard Irsyad's voice from his roon.

"Aiya! Aiya! Aiya!"

Irsyad was actually calling out to Aira. When Aira heard Irsyad's voice, she too responded, "Aaaaaaa...."

Irsyad ran to the front door and when the door opened, Irsyad dashed to the gate and I saw a huge smile from both their faces.

It was the CUTEST thing!!

Welcoming December Babies :o)

Alhamdulillah, a few of my friends have given birth to a December babies. The first December baby was Nur Abyana Safiyya (I hope I got her name right) @ Fifi. Suzy had an easy delivery. I received a text message from Hani at about 11.30 a.m. informing me that Suzy is being wheeled in the labour room and two hours later, Suzy texted me about the delivery! I was so busy that week, I only managed to visit Fifi when she was 10 days old. It was a quick visit with Mega, and I was embarresed because I didn't get anything for her. I visited Fifi again the following week, after my trip to Skudai, with Fifi's gift. I took some photo's of Fifi on my handphone but unfortunately, there seemed to be a technical problem to transfer the files so no photos of Fifi :o( Hope to visit Suzy and Fifi again before she goes back to work.

The second December baby was Khairy, Zureen's third child, who was born on Christmas Eve. Zureen's text message that morning woke me up in time for Subuh prayers. I was indeed surprised, as Zureen's EDD was in mid January, if I was not mistaken. Anyways, my agenda for the day was to send my car for servicing, to Putrajaya to settle some errands for my MIL and have an Avatar date with hubby. We managed to catch the earliest show at The Mines at 11.20 a.m. and was home by 2 p.m. Since hubby had other errands to run, I decided to go visit Zureen at Pantai Hospital in Bangsar. I arrived at about 4 p.m. Aunty Fauziah and Zureen's niece were there. Khairy was indeed a healthy 3.44kg baby, Zureen's smallest baby of the three. I was like, "WHATTTTT????!" Compared to a 2.58kg Faiq and 3.01kg Syamima Aira, that is HUGE. Zureen said that her first born was 3.7+kg and her second born was 3.6+kg. WOW is all I can say!

Meet Khairy!

Zureen's niece and mom

I stayed on until about 5.15 p.m. and made a quick stop at Zalia's in-laws' house to drop Harez's stuffs. It was starting to rain and since it was Christmas eve, I didn't want to be stuck in the jam. Alhamdulillah traffic on the Federal Highway was still smooth when I headed back home.

So to both Suzy & Zureen, congratulations on the arrival of your bundles of joy! It is indeed a perfect way to end 2009!

Takziah

Takziah buat Nurul Shima Mislan sekeluarga on the sudden demise of her father this morning.

Shima's dad was ran over by a car, which was racing and was taking over on the left side. At the time, Shima's dad just bought some fruits and was about to get in the car. Shima's mom just saw her husband being ran over in front of her eyes.

I got the story from Aden as I couldn't hear what Shima was saying between her sobs. I do not have the courage to call her, for fear that I myself will not have the strength to console her.

My doa is for arwah. Semoga arwah ditempatkan di kalangan golongan yang beriman dan beramal soleh. And for Shima and her family, semoga tabah menghadapi dugaan ini.

To those who are involved in racing of this sort, stop wasting your time. If you are into racing, there are avenues and proper places for it to be done. A public road/highway is for the public. You don't want to end up being a murderer, like the person who ran over Shima's dad. And you know, what goes around comes around!

Al-Fatihah...

YIPPEE!!!

My leave has been approved! YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!

If you count the weekends and public holiday, technically I will be on a 10 day leave!

BLISS!

Can't wait to go to Penang!

Last Saturday

Last Saturday, I met up with Nina and Nurul at Itallianies, The Curve. I can't remember the last time I met up with Nina, I think it was quite recent before Ramadhan. I can't remember when I last met Nurul though but it is definitely more than 5 months.

Nina is back from Dubai for about 2 weeks for Raya Haji. Infact, she just got back from Bali with her family. Nurul, on the other hand, follows her husband to wherever he sails. She will be on land for about 4 months before she sails away to another destination

Agenda for lunch : Eat & gossip, the usual stuff.

With my makan-tido-gelak chums

Then, I headed straight to Bandar Bukit Raja, Klang to visit Belle and her newborn, Natalie. Masa kat traffic light The Curve tuh, tetiba bengang giler sebb ada sorang minah nih selamba jerk potong queue. Tapi bila tengok betul-betul, rupa-rupanya it was Nurul. She was late for a kenduri in Kelana Jaya. Takpe Nurul..aku maafkan sebab kau dah berbulan-bulan tak nampak darat...hehehe.

Anyway, I called Belle for directions so I made it to Tesco. Then I called her again a few times but there was no answer. So I went looking for Belle's house on my own. After a few trial and error, alhamdulillah, I reached my destination. Collin, Belle's husband was indeed very impressed..woohoo! Even I myself was surprised because I am such a bimbo when it comes to directions!

Raz and Kama were already there when I arrived. Natalie was born on 7 October 2009. She is so cute, adorable and squashable!

Hi, my name is Natalie

With my UiTM chums

Natalie with her big bro, Noel

We chatted fo about an hour before saying our goodbyes. I then headed to Kajang to pick up Rafiq and kids. Thank you for taking care of them, Sayang! I had a great time!

McDreamy's Marriage Smell

Read about Patrick Dempsey's new fragrance, Patrick Dempsey 2, on the internet today.

*Sigh*

This is what love is all about!

And I *heart* McDreamy....

-------------------------------------------------------------

PATRICK DEMPSEY'S MARRIAGE SMELL

Patrick Dempsey's new fragrance is about his marriage.

The 'Grey's Anatomy' actor - who has recently launched Patrick Dempsey 2, with beauty retailer Avon - designed the scent to represent the "power" of his ten-year union to Avon's Creative Colour Director, Jillian Dempsey. He said: "The first fragrance, Unscripted, was about the individual, following your passion and all of that. Why not take it to the next step and go, 'this is about two people and the power of the relationship.' "

The 43-year-old star even turned down the chance to snuggle up to a sexy model in the advertising campaign, and instead persuaded Avon bosses to let Jillian pose in front of the camera with him. He told Avon staff: "I don't feel comfortable having a model in the ads. I'm married, and that's not something I want to project. Why can't I just use my wife and make it about that?"

In the end, the dark-haired hunk was pleased with the advertisement for the mandarin, spiced wood and green fig fragrance. It shows the couple gazing lovingly at one another at the seaside while the sun sets in the background. He is quoted by People magazine as saying: "It was a nice moment for us to be together."
