2015 Birthday Celebrations!

Hi! How's your weekend going so far? Mine was so busy but the best part was I got to spend more time with my family. This post is about what I got for my birthday. It's not about the gifts but it's more about the thoughts that count. I'm turning 25 and I think this year is going to be great year for me.

My birthday was on January 15th. I didn't expect any gift because it's obviously in the middle of the month where most of everyone trying to 'survive' until their next payday lol. But this year is a bit different. I woke up early on my birthday because I was so excited with no reason. Like I said I didn't expect any gifts but I thought that day was special, it was my BIRTHDAY!

Then someone knocked on my room's door and to my surprise I got a birthday gift from mama, abah and sisters! They wished me happy birthday and I was so excited. It got a little white teddy bear, cookies and little card with my name on it. Thank you and I really appreciate it so much! *happy dance.

My birthday was on Thursday and I had Circuit Training with my coach and others that night. It was an award giving night. I didn't see this one coming too but I won for the Best Push Ups Improvement! I was like "what?". I'm still struggling to do even one push up, how the hell did I do it?. But all I know is I did my best during both fit tests challenge. And to make it more awkward yet fun, everyone started to sing Happy Birthday song when I was standing at the front holding this certificate. It was so awkward for me because well I didn't get this every year and I was thinking should I smile? should I just act cool? but at the end I waved my hand like a diva until the song finished. Yup I rocked that night lol. Anyways, thank you so much Cavin & Jamie!

  

January was a birthday month for three ladies at Murphy's. Those were Wanie, Kak Shima and Me! Kak Shima invited me and others for her home birthday feast. I was so delighted to come and I also asked my sister and Wanie to come with me. It was so much fun with girlfriends, so much laugh about stupid things and also gossiping. Later we were surprised with our birthday cake! Three of us were so excited, we even asked everyone to sing us happy birthday song lol. After tons and tons of selfies and wefies , we finally cut the cake and enjoyed it.

Picture of Wanie and me enjoying our birthday cake. It got piece of banana inside the cake which was my favorite and delicious! And not to forget the food served by Kak Shima were so yummy too! Thank you so much Mila for the birthday cake. We love it.

My birthday surprise didn't end there of course. Few days later, I got my birthday gift from Wanie. Gosh it was very nice of you to give this little cute gifts to me. Ferrero rocher , earings and necklace? I couldn't ask for more! Notice the snowflake necklace which is nice and dainty. This pair of earing is perfect for my everyday wear to work. Thank you so much Wanie. I love it. It's so perfect.

I also wanted to thank Kak Emma for making special brew of hot chocolate for me which I don't have the picture of it. I'm a really big fan of hot chocolate and of course I sipped and finished it straight away before I had the chance to snap picture of it . So don't blame it on me lol.

I drive to work and park my car at the LRT station. So I meet this uncle who is very kind and sometimes I got free parking lol. He was so nice to give me this big white teddy bear for my birthday present. Thank you so much uncle!

 

My birthday celebrations end with a nice family feast at my aunty's place. I'm so blessed to be given such a loving family even though we had a hard time last year. Things got better with my grandma's cooking. For your information, she is the best cooker in the entire universe! I was so stuffed with great food that night and my little cute chocolate birthday cake. Thank you so much Mak Ngah and Kak Ina. I really really appreciate it!.   

Nuggets, chicken and beef satay and kuih muih were among the food served that night. Rest in piece my dear diet and healthy eating. 

Highlight of the night was this curry mee cooked by grandma and aunty. It looked plain and simple because I didn't like to put much vegetables on my meal but you have no idea how delicious it was!!

It felt so good to be surrounded by warmth of family who always stand by you through ups and downs. I know I am so lucky be part of it.

 Last but not least I wanna say thank you for the best wishes and spreading the positivity. Even though it is just a short text of "hb" I really appreciate it for taking the time.

Mucho gracias!

Iftar Part Two

It was one week before first Syawal . So this time we went to Impian Morib to break our fast before everyone were starting to busy themselves with Aidilfitri decorations. Me and my boyfriend went a bit late as we went with different car. So when I reached there , his family were already gathering and waiting for breaking time. 

Since we were like twelve people all together , we had to sit on different table. The place was nice with minimum decorations. And the place was less crowded compared to the last one , might be some like to berbuka puasa with their families on their last week of fasting. 

  

A little details on the table while we were waiting for food.

Since it was a buffet so it was self-serviced .We were served Masakan Melayu for our iftar. I was a bit confused which one should I picked first because it got so many choices and tasty! 

My favourite part of the meal was Roti Goreng with sauce . It was so yummy but too bad I was fulled and could only finished two three slices only.

The stuffs were very nice to us when we asked for less sugar drink since the one they had served was too sweet for us. Thank you for having me once again for iftar with your family. I had a good time and most importantly my tummy was so happy about it. 

p/s : I will be pursuing my study soon so I was a bit excited for it. Plus I can't wait to meet my new classmates and coursemates! 

Thank you for reading. Till we meet again in the next post. Bye !

Iftar Part One

        Hey guys! Sorry for taking such a long time to write another post. No I'm not totally busy. I was just not in the mood to start writing. As I'm typing this I'm babysitting my brother because of some problems. Anyway , I've decided to post about my fasting month which was two month ago. My boyfriend decided to break our fast at Hotel Concorde KLIA. So we reached there about 7.15pm and checked in for reservation.

        The best part of this entry is the food! Oh my gosh ! The food there was so delicious! Might be because I was so hungry but trust me the food was amazing lol.

It got varieties of food. From Masakan Melayu to western and Japanese.Of course I would had rice first before indulged in other food.

This is one of his twin sister and his grandma waiting for our break fast time. The place was not too crowded and everyone was having great time with their families and friends.

 After I had done with my first meal , I went for dessert and decided to choose this oreo cake instead of strawberry one. I was glad I had made a right choice because I don't fancy cakes or cupcakes because they are too sweet for me but this one was just nice! I love it. Not too sweet and delicious too.

Later , I wanted to eat sushi and satay but too bad I was so full. I only managed to eat mushroom soup and some fruits. After we had done and performed our prayer we went home and I was coughing and my throat felt so itchy. Might be due to the water served there. But everything went good . So thank you for having me to break our fast together and I really enjoyed it there. Bye !

p/s : I only used my phone camera to capture those so sorry for low quality pictures! 

My 2013 so far

        I know it's too early for me to say that I think this year is a lot better than last year. But my 2013 so far has been very good. Of course I've been through lots of ups and downs. I'm a person who doesn't cry when I feel sad or things don't go right or not the way I've expected. But this year , I did cried a couple of times due to frustrations. BUT it didn't weaken me. Everyone has their own problems in their lives but it's the way they handle the situations make them who they are today. I've decided to list down my ups and downs to see how far I've come and for my inspirational and others too.

Downs

Failed my test
I'd studied hard for my exams and tests this year because I wanted it to be the last and the best for me. I was stressed when I didn't manage to understand what I'd studied . Trust me , when you're trying to do the best of the things you're not interested into was very2 hard. I didn't had much friends to ask about my papers because I'm staying with mama. I only depended on what's app , BBM , Twitter and facebook to ask things I didn't understand. And when the result came out , I failed one out of three papers . I was so upset and cried and didn't understand why it happened to me because I worked so hard for it.

SUKMA
Volleyball is always gonna be my favourite sport to play. However , when I was in lower school I got chosen to play for Kelantan but my grandpa didn't allow me to play because he only believed girl with sport was just not working. He said sports were only for boys to play. He didn't know I had worked so hard to be chosen to become a state player and I had to decline just like that just because he said girls couldn't play sports. Later , I got to play for Terengganu and the match would be held in Sarawak. I'd already got the ticket but the answer was still no. Then I grew up and finally can made my decision but I had to miss SUKMA because I needed to go back to my hometown for a visit to my grandparents. I don't know what else to describe my feeling at that time but I believe everything happens for a reason. So I moved on.

Know the true colours 
This one did changed my aspect of life. I really didn't expect my bestfriend who I trusted the most , who I really cared about , who I was so happy to be friend with is a back stabber. Later I knew , she talked bad things about me and most of them weren't true. When I said bad , it was really2 bad. After these years , she was actually didn't want me to be friend with her because she said that I told lots of lies just to look cool among our friends. Why didn't she just tell me she doesn't like me instead of being nice to me? That's it. Goodbye to a person who used to be so close to me.

Ups

Birthday gift
I never thought my birthday would be celebrated by mama and sisters. They bought me a cake and a meaningful gift. Last time I got a birthday cake from them was in my 18th birthday. Lol. Seriously guys , I always woke up on my birthday hoping something would happened but well nothing happened. BUT this year was different! Thank you mama , Cella and Nina!

Manage to pass
Like what I'd told earlier , I failed one of my tests. So I registered it again. To be honest , I didn't trust myself anymore. I was so upset to study back with little time. But I did it anyway because I just couldn't give up easily. This was when mama and boyfriend and friends had become so supportive and understanding. The best part was when my boyfriend bought me ice-cream when I was so stressed with my study. It was so sweet. And then , the result came out and I PASSED it ! Wohoo! I was so happy and almost dancing in my room. Alhamdulillah and thank you mama and Ejam and friends for everything! I really appreciate what you had done to me through my hard times.

SUKOB
Finally , I managed to play volleyball for my college for the last time. I didn't thought it would be so much fun and we'd won. It was hard at first because our teamwork was a disaster. Maybe due to age difference made it harder to achieve. And then , we discussed about it and puff ( I know it sounds weird) we became like best friends and with great teamwork made it easier for us to win. We managed to prove we are the best and can't be underestimated by others.

New friends
Later I get so many friends from volleyball team both girls and boys. And unexpected friends who really2 helped me through my hardship. Even though most of them are boys but they were really2 supportive and still are. I am so lucky to be blessed by good and caring friends. Thank you !

Unexpected gifts
I really didn't see it coming. I thought it was a joke. But he didn't! He bought me a new phone because I was always complaining about my BB. Actually my Blackberry doesn't always troubles me much but yeah. But I didn't ask a new one. Trust me lol. Thank you so much for the gift and also for buying the handbag. Seriously, you've spoiled me. Haha Oh well.

Relationship 
Since I've spent so much time at grandma's , I became close with my Acik Ayu (aunty) and Acik Wan (uncle). We always do late night chat until morning about random things. Sometimes , we watch home movies together while eating kuaci (sunflower seed). And play badminton every evening and laughing about how "professional" we are in badminton. The best part is grandma is doing well with her better sight after surgery and is recovering. Relationship with my boyfriend is getting better even though we had a fight recently about stupid things but hey it got better and better. I'm just lucky!

Kelantan
I visited my grandparents on my father's side. It didn't turn out good because grandpa always grumpy and overprotective. He still treats me like I'm still a little girl. But grandma surprised me.She had changed a lot. I mean in a good way. She cooked pulut ayam for me because that is my favourite food. She also had given me a little gift before I headed back to KL which I can't mention here because it's too private. Thank you thank you so much Tok Ayah and Nenek. I love you so much !

Thank you so much for reading!

Birthdays In December

Hi guys , I know it's a late entry but I wanna post it anyway..haha..as I'm writting this I'm reading the second book by E L James which is The Fifty Shades Darker. I don't know why but I always think the first one is the best like X-men movies..the first one is the best if being compared among the rest..and I was so crazy about being Rogue. I almost wanted to dye my hair like hers haha LOL. Anyway , last month or last year to be exact my family and I celebrated my grandma's 64th and two of my cousins birthdays. It was a small gathering with family and friends.

We did barbeque at my aunty's house and the kids are all over the place which was good because they really lighted up the house. Unfortunately , I couldn't join them for long because I had to head home to make preparation for my presentation on the next morning. So grandma , I hope you always keep your warmth and kindness with you cause those are things I like most about you. Semoga panjang umur and dimurah kan rezeki always. Thank you for reading this..BYE ~

Sisters day out

About four days ago , me & my sister Nina went for a hang out to at least amik angin for a family crisis..we both went out with empty stomach so we decided to take our quick lunch but looking for a place to eat without many people there..my sister suggested to eat at Mamak Village..I just quickly agreed..

my sister wanted to eat Nasi Goreng but it wasn't available at that hour..so we both ate Nasi Lemak with chickens..had to say it tasted not so delicious but not too bad..just a standard taste of Nasi Lemak..nothing special..

but we both were so hungry so we ate Nasi Lemak without any complaint..haha

Later we went to check out the new store at Lot 10 , H&M.. it was super packed there so we both just headed to our favourite store , Forever 21..we only did window shopping..as we both only wanted to amik angin right? haha..unfortunately , my camera had died due to no battery..so pictures below were taken with my handphone..huhu

My sister tried this heels..look comfortable ..might bought a pair one day..I'll put it on my list hahaha

Then my sister wanted a place for us to just chit chat & talk about what's happening..so we went to Starbuck..

We both bought Chocolate Cream Chip because this is our favourite..sisters =)

You know..being born in a broken family is hard..sometimes we have to take the blame for the things we didn't do..have to try our best to make the best of everything..but sometimes things are so hard to face..we at least only can just sit down and forget it a while and stick together no matter what happen..

thanks sister for the day out and for taking everything slowly..love ~

Weekends

Weekends? Of course all of us can't wait for weekend to come right?? So what are you guys always do during weekend? Shopping? Hangout with friends? Just spend a night together with friends in the hotel?? Or just stay at home and enjoy your me-time?? As for me , I always go back to my grandma's house somewhere in Banting..so whenever my friends ask me for a hang out during weekends , I rarely join them..So what did I really do? Just stay at grandma's house for two days? Well NO..

Ejam usually picks me up at 9 pm or something like that to go to Banting because he lives there too..we don't always go for a late dinner first..just straight to grandma's house because he needs to work in the next morning so that requires him to sleep early plus eating at late hours is never been good right? =D ...So the next morning I usually spend time with my grandma & aunty..chit chat about random things..playing with my little cute twin cousins or if I got homeworks to do..I'll do it at the time range..then when the noon strikes me ..I'll get ready to get the new business stock , of course with Ejam..then we go to the gym in the evening if we are going to catch movie at night..but if not we'll work our ass at night..have a simple dinner..and head back to grandma's..the next morning , we go to the gym again until noon something like that , have a great lunch BUT

last week I've been craving for Starbuck Chocolate Cream Chip..trust me I'm not a Starbuck junky because coffee shops are never my thing..so he got me one (thank you =) )..BUT he drank half of it so thank you again =.='

but before that I bought two candles since my little lamp sort of need to throw it out of my window (that's weird because my room has no windows)..so that's why I need candles , get it?? hahah

I'm a person who is so lazy when I've already laid on my bed..but before bed I need to put my allergic cream (being an allergist is never easy) & other creams..so I need to wake up from bed again to switch off the light but with the presence of candle light , life becomes easier..LOL..no I won't spend much money for a candle..I got it RM5 each from Hinode Shop.. then he straightly send me back to KL before he goes back to Banting..that's basically how my weekend goes..so it's time to tell me yours ! Love ~

Eid Mubarak 2012

Me and my sister , we're both don't celebrate Eid Mubarak much..I don't wanna mention why..but this year I thought it's gonna be "just another regular month of raya"..but we still did some small preparation togather..sisters =')..so we went to Banting as we always don't know where else to go kan..but we did help Nenek do some last minute preparation..surprisingly my uncle bought a lot of Bunga Api for our small cousin but well , why not we play together right? haha
