It's that time again!!!

Anggapkan masa I tulis ni, hari tu ialah 9 FEBRUARY...ok!

Yeayyyyy!!!! It's that time of the year...again!

It's my birthday!

Bukan suka sangat pasal bday tu. Suka sangat sebab my hubby datang masa my bday. Perfect timing! Hahahha...tu la sebabnya. Aku tau betapa seksanya mengharungi 15-hour flight from KL to London. Lenguh vontot gua! Hari tu masa balik Msia, adoii seksanya dok dlm flight. Dry air, gelap, penat, tido bangun tido bangun tak sampai2 jugak lagi. Tapi my hubby harung jugak entah yang kesekian kalinya tah. Thanks, dear.

Alia sukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sangat!! Maklum la dimanjakan. Dimandikan, disuap makan, didukung, dilayan tengok Charlie & Lola. Suka la dia. Kalau ngan aku, non ado! Sila berdikari ye anakanda. Memanda banyak keja la.

Sebelum pegi skolah, ayahnya amik gambar dulu...posing macam2 gaya tapi aku upload satu cukup la noooo...yang lain gambar tak berapa nak elok sebab anak dara kecil ni grumpy sket masa tu.

Aku? Sukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jugak. Sebab aku pun perasan dimanjakan. Ada orang tolong itu dan ini. Terasa I'm the happiest woman alive! Bak kata Rihanna, rasa macam...the only girl in the world, hahahhaha. Ishhh quote Rihanna tu. Cuba la quote Sigmund Freud ke.....Stephen Covey ke..ada gak pekdahnya....

Ni gambar on the day itself. Takde la nak celebrate apa. Dah tua, malu la ai nak celebrate segala. Cukup la ada suami dan anak di sisi. Dah bersyukur sangat dah dengan segala rahmat dan kebahagiaan yang dilimpahkan olehNya.

Sang hubby tanya apa hadiah aku nak tahun ni? "Handbag nak?" Tanya suamiku. Owwhhh sangat la nak tapi aku ni sangat la berhemah tamah orangnya, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan......hahahha. Kononnya la! Maka tiadalah diriku ini menyuarakan hajat di hati. Aku cakap ngan hubby.."Ala, handbag mahal, bagi hadiah yang murah2 sudah la". Cehh...ayat cliche tu....walaupun ada gak aku bagi hint...kalau beg Prada mau la. Hehehhehe sempat lagi mengayat tu. Walaupun aku tau tak dapat punyer!

Happy Bday to me....bertambah lagi setahun umur aku ni. Semoga tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Semoga bertambah umur, menjadikan aku bertambah matang. Moga tahun ni tercapai segala cita-cita, terutamanya bab belajar. Semoga tahun ni dengan izin Allah, dapatlah aku siapkan tesis, lulus viva dengan jayanya dan bergelar Dr. Asmida....Aminnnnnn!!

Bday Huda n Husna

10 August 2010

Cuti sekolah yang panjang hari tu, Alia tak pegi mana-mana. Duduk rumah je sebab ibunya banyak report nak kena siapkan. Tetiba pagi tu Umi(Maswa) call, ajak Alia pegi Windsor. Rupa-rupanya sempena menyambut bday Huda n Husna.

Thanks to Umi n abah yang belanja Alia dan mama Alia naik bot, ronda2 sepanjang River Thames hari tu. Juga kerana belanja Alia naik swan dan naik kuda kat situ. Thank you.

Bday girls....mengerjakan kek dengan ganasnya, hahahah!

Alia's circle of frens. The best buddies.

Tunggu turn nak naik bot.

Here we are!!

Asha n Alia. Seronok anak dara ni naik swan.

Walaupun hari tu diakhiri dengan hujan lebat, tapi budak2 ni puas hati dapat spend the day together. Happy Bday Huda n Husna!!!

Alia's Birthday Party

Our daughter is 5-years-old!
Happy birthday, darling,
You are our our little gem, the love of our life,
Tanda kasih mama dan ayah.

We had a small party to celebrate Alia's birthday. Many apologies to those who were not invited. Kami hanya menjemput kawan2 Alia bersama parents masing-masing. After all, it was her day.

We had 2 separate celebration: the 1st one was held privately on her birthday (12 May) and the 2nd one was celebrated with her friends 2 days after.

A little present from mom and dad on her birthday.

We decorated the cup cakes for her classmates at school.

Cake of the day.

Private celebration, only the three of us.

Birthday cake of her choice: Princess (Pea) Tiana and the frog.

Kudos to my hubby for decorating the small room while I was busy in the kitchen.

BBQ to spice up the day.

The happy and eager faces.

The guests.

With her forever friends.

Semoga kamu menjadi anak yang solehah,
Semoga kamu berjaya dunia dan akhirat,
Semoga kebahagiaan menjadi milikmu,
Semoga sentiasa diberkati olehNya,
Amin.....

Selamat Hari Jadi Adam

Beberapa minggu lepas kami ke Windsor, untuk meraikan sambutan hari jadi Adam. Budak2 seronok sangat sebab ada huge trampoline, acres and acres of field for them to run around, plenty of foods and snacks and not forgotten, Smartie Artie the clown.

You're a big boy now...

The clown who kept the kids entertained.

Ala...bila le dorang ni nak potong kek? Tensen le...kami dah tunggu lama ni...hayooo

Adam, with mom and dad.

Since the kids were having a really good fun, kami the grown-ups pulak seronok dapat jumpa kawan2 lama dan baru. Macam2 cerita keluar. Sambil borak, tuan rumah menyajikan pelbagai juadah sate, mihun, nasi, cendol, keropok lekor, kuih-muih Melayu dan Barat. Pendek kata, kami memang dijamu sepuasnya. Lepas tu bila nak balik, siap dibekalkan dengan nasi, ayam, kari daging dan dessert sebagai buah tangan. Sungguh terasa macam kenduri kat kampung2 but in a lavish kind of way.

Duduk lepak2 di rumah Anita ni (Adam's mom) memang terasa damai. Apa taknya, rumahnya dikelilingi bunga pelbagai warna. Memang cantik! Sampai my hubby kata, tak payah pegi Holland dah...datang sini je...sama je cam taman tulip kat Holland tu. Hahahha...

Majlis hari itu berjalan lancar, semua tetamu berpuas hati. Tahniah kepada tuan rumah dan terima kasih kerana menjemput kami. It was indeed a great party.

Birthday

Alia pegi birthday party kawan sekelas dia. First party kat rumah Nat. 2nd party kat rumah Asha. Dua-dua adalah classmate Alia. Sejak hari tu dia asyik tanya....when is my birthday, mama? Are we going to have a party? Aku jawab "Later, tunggu ayah datang". Tu adalah jawapan automatik a.k.a preset answering machine in me, whenever aku tak tau nak jawab tricky questions dari Alia.

Birthday girl, Asha with her mom and Alia

Themed party..these girls looks lovely

Nat's party. Alia tak mau amik gambar. Nat is the cheekiest girl of the three. So so cute.

Sebab kawan-kawan sekelas dia buat birthday party, Alia masih dok tanya-tanya aku bila nak buat party utk birthday dia. Ikutkan hati memang nak buat tapi sebab hubby kat Malaysia rasa tak best pulak. So nanti aku buat jugak, insyaAllah. Saja bagi budak-budak ni suka. Tunggu hubby datang Ogos ni. Yang bestnya, tanpa disangka-sangka Cik Ida beli birthday cake utk Alia. So sweet! Hepi si Alia.

Terima kasih daun keladi Cik Ida!!! Nanti bagi la lagi!!

Comel kan kek ni. Alia suka sangat.

Alia dan Fuadi..celebrate her birthday in quiet.

Hello Sunshine!!

Woke up this morning with sunshine on my face, sengih sampai ke telinga! Why? I had quite a bad day earlier on. Not one day but a couple of days. Asik nangis je. Memang sedih betul!! But I'm fine now. Dah settle. Borak ngan hubby semalam, 2 jam tu puas le citer macam2. Hilang rindu dapat tgk muka dia. Come to think of it, aku rasa aku ni overacting kot, ala2 kak Ogy. Suka pikir nonsense. I don't know whether it was just me or the weather or the imbalance hormone? Hmmm, I think it was hormone ...or weather. Tak mau ngaku silap sendiri. Kihkihkih. Ok, ok it was my fault...and partly his. But I got to confide in here, aku ni cepat kecik ati dgn my other half tu. Love him so so much sebab dia sangat memahami (semua org sayang suami,kan?). So bila dia kadang2 buat tak paham, gua mula laa...

AND yesterday was my birthday!! Many thanks to friends and family for all the well wishes. BIG THANKS to all. I'm not kinda girl (girl?uwekk!) whom throw big party for birthday. Wasattiah gitu....kehkehkeh. Tapi kalu ader org nak belanja gua makan, no problemo punyer. Thanks to Maswa for the home-made choc cake and beriani daging. We spent quite long hours chit-chatting yesterday, dah malam baru sedar nak balik umah. We both bujang sekejap sementara hubby masing2 kat Msia. Tak lama lagi suami Maswa balik semula ke UK and then my hubby next!

I am a late-riser (really really bad habit) tapi hari ni bangun awal sbb takut terbabas. Didn't I tell u that I have to attend R course? Statistical course, for 3 weeks kat sini. So takleh lagi jadi burung hantu berjaga malam. Got to be a morning person bulan nih. So tema bulan ni : Tido awal, bangun awal!! And on my way to the lecture theathre, dapat sms best! Lagi le semangat!!

Yeayyy I feel so good about myself, 'bout my whole life. Alhamdulillah atas segala nikmat yang diberikanNya. I'm so thankful for that. Alhamdulillah. Mentari bersinar kembali dalam hidupku...yahooooo!!! Gonna put aside melancholic CDs for now....

Ciao!!
