All Time Favourite

Heard this song on the way to work. This remains my all-time favourite :o)


I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU - STEVIE WONDER

No new years' day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact it's just another ordinary day


No april rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart


No summers high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies


No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart, of my heart


*Yes, cheezy is my middle name...hihi

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. Several factors: busy as a bee, no mood to update, laptop hilang.


Still..no mood. Tunggu arr malam sket!!

Ohh..and congratulations to Belle and Collin for the birth of their baby girl, Natalie Loke Yenyin.

Complete

When I was in primary school, I used to have a group of friends which consists of 3 girls. Me, Wee Chui Sien and Erin Melani Sequerah. Very 1 Malaysia. The three of us got along very well and we used to go for recess together.

Somehow, Erin and I lost touch. I don't know how that happened. We went to different high schools and I moved to KL when I was in Form 4. Although I do hear about her from other people, we never actually kept in touch.

I searched for her in Friendster and Facebook but never found her. Off late, many of my primary school friends managed to track me and I found Erin on one of my friend's list. I added her as a friend and once she accepted and saw me online, we chatted.

I can't believe I have found Erin. Now, my "geng" is complete :o)

My Funny Valentine

My 4 year old son, Faiq Khan bin Rafiq Khan, is one helluva colorful character. He is damn cheeky and funny. Amongst the things he said these past few days are:

1. Upon hearing the raya commotion downstairs: Woiii! Yang kat bawah tuuuuu! Diamlah sikiiiiiittttt!




2. Mak Tok: Larrr..kenapa Faiq tukar air Faiq dengan Mak Tok?
Faiq: Maaflah ye, yang ni dah habiiiiissss!




3. Bobo: Faiq, Faiq rindu kat Bobo tak? Bobo rindu kat Faiq!!
Faiq: Kalau Bobo rindu kat Faiq, bagi lar Faiq main game kat handphone Bobo!




4. While waiting for our food at the restaurant: Kita kat sini minum air je ke??!




Hmmm....Faiq, Faiq!

Salam Aidilfitri

Alhamdulillah, tahun ini sekali lagi Allah memberi izin kepada kita untuk menyempurnakan Ramadhan. Bagi diri ini, terasa sedikit kesal kerana tiada pengisian yang secukupnya sepanjang Ramadhan. Semoga Allah menerima ibadah-ibadahku sepanjang Ramadhan ini dan memanjangkan umurku agar dapat ku temu Ramadhan yang akan datang.

Sempena kehadiran Syawal yang mulia, saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua umat Islam dan memohon ampun dan maaf di atas segala dosa dan salah silap. Halalkan segala makan minumku. Semoga kita menyambut ketibaan Syawal dengan penuh kesyukuran.

Raya Mode

Raya mood is in the air in my office since Monday.

Today, the traffic has started to ease down a bit, which means that many are on leave already.

I am so in the raya mood! After my speech is done, I am so going to not think about work anymore!

Raya Cookies

Since Syawal is around the corner and kuih tunjuk cost a bomb, I decided to bake my own. It's actually the raya cookies that my mom used to make. I remember those days, my sisters and I used to bake between 5-8 types of kuih raya a week before Raya. My mom would make the adunan and we would help her terap, decorate etc. We would listen to Hari Raya songs while baking them. The most tedious raya cookies that we would be forced to make is Cornflakes Cookies. It became difficult because my mom would insist that we decorate the cornflakes in a shape of a rose. It's really pretty but it's damn tedious, it will take the whole day because my mom would make two adunan. Those were the days..

Aaanyways, now that I have to make my own, I decided to bake two of the easy ones, Cheese Cookies and Choc Chip Cookies.
