SAJOHA ALL YEARS 2010

I think it isnt too late to write something about my ol school, Sekolah Menengah Sains Johor, recent big Reunion, SAJOHA which gather alumni of all years since the school exist on 28 may 2010. Initially,I wasn't plan to join the big event as none of my batch plan to go. However, I was invited by my senior Kak Lin (batch 83-87) to join their table and catch up with them since I have not met them for more than 20 years. I was quite thrilled and decided to join them. Furthermore, one of my best friend from a junior batch, Gein (batch 85-89) had also convinced me to go. Not forgetting my many thanks to Amoi and Jamil from batch 83-87 for making me joined the 'party'.

It was funny 'journey' to the location when I went together with Gein and we were sesat for about 1 hour. Of course me and her have a very bad sense of direction, me the hopeless lady from JB and Gein, claimed herself not familiar with KL...hehehe even though she had her GPS in her hand... sorry Gein... Aku pun rasa I don't really know how to follow that GPS thingy... But at last we reached the destination through the help of Lawi, our senior, batch 83-87 through hp direction...however, exceeded ETA. :(

The dinner event went so well and apa lagi when the Emcee was Zainal Alam Kadir, our super senior and dirasmikan pulak oleh Datuk Ahmad Maslan, well-known VIP who was once, our super senior.  

From my batch was only, Mat B... the rest were from senior batches, and junior batches. I just wish they will make this event every few years once perhaps and wish that  more from my batch 84-88 will join for the event like this... 

Love to see my seniors from batch 83-87, kak Lin, kak Nik, Kak Raha, Kak Aim, Kak Yana, Amoi, Lawi and Sam and the list went on and on ... perhaps tak boleh nak mention semua. Yati from batch 82-86, still looking good and pretty. All the juniors ... I still remember you guys... :) Most of all, thrilled to see my teachers, Cikgu Zanariah still look gorgeous and Cikgu MoGa serious look as always...

Thanks to Adrian and Megat for sending me back home until sesat jugak..hehehehe...(Org KL pun sesat)

BRAVO to the committee members. You guys did great jobs and perhaps if ada umor and rezeki...we could improve further and more happening...InsyaAllah..

Great Women...

Meeting old friends was always one of the best event in my life. It is not just sharing the past memories but also knowing how lives have been treating each of us and… we learn about lives from each other.

Occasionally, I thought my life was not so fortunate, full of challenges and hardships, however after bumped  into others real worst episodes of lives, I was blessed with my life so far, even though it may not be perfect … but Alhamdullillah…

There was an Ustaz used to motivate me told, “when you are riding a bicycle, don’t compare yourself with those who’s riding bikes, look at those who’s walking, when you are riding a bike, don’t compare yourself  with those who’s driving a car, look at those who’s walking and riding bicycles”.

His points were to be grateful and redha for whatever challenges come because we may thought that we had worst hurdles in life but the truth is, there are people who faced worst hurdles in life than us. The reasons God gave us hardships and challenges in life are to compensate us with ‘the best’ rewards that sometimes you could never imagine what they are. Come to think about it, that Ustaz was right and I was slapped away by few real life incidents happen to my very own friends and these were nothing from any good scriptwriter, film producers or good story books authors that I have came across.

Few of the stories were shared in my previous topics and hope these ones will also make us ponder further. Only the chosen ones who will be tested in various ways of life and that make us stronger and closer to Him. 

I had a friend who is still looking good even we lost contact for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, she  is also a single mom with 3 kids... and this is not my first time writing something like this but what prompted me to share is, her story was making me so wanted to “vanish” that ***-of -****  from this world… I wished that this type of MEN should never been born…. Help me God, Allah, not to any of my kids...

My lady friend is a professional, married and having kids to this type of man who she thought at first love her so much. This guy not only betrayed her, affair with other women, he even committed adultery with various women which I would never called them women if they were mostly what we all known as GROs, hookers and all those types of names…  and not only here, our country, but also where ever he could find FUN! 

He would also bomoh his own wife so that his act was protected until one particular incident during one of her pregnancy, she had some kind of venereal disease and started from there she realized something wasn’t  right. Luckily, the disease was fully recovered. Her ex-husband never treat her well, cursed her with names and not to mention lower level of education compared to my lady friend…  If he is a kind of guy who has great looks, great career, highly educated… well those package probably might lead him to those act but NONE of those represented him!!! Too bad…

Another story from my own friend too, she was abandoned by her husband with her 2 kids and she was divorced through her own sister from just a telephone call. He said she was never a good wife whilst he was the one who was having affair with other women and slept with them in their own family house in the absence of his wife a.k.a my friend. Since the divorce, her ex-husband never makes an effort to visit his children nor to give any nafkah for the past more than 8 years. Fortunately, she is a strong lady and of course blessed with great kids, family and good career ahead.

May Allah bless all the good women out there...

Lately i was a little bit stress so just now I juz had few chocolate bars...(there goes my diet...ahakz...never diet when it comes to Chocolate)... Anyway, last 2 days, collegue aku, Si Amin, tiba-tiba tanye aku recipe potato salad yang aku penah buat and brought to the office. Aku ni actually memang tak suka masak and tak rajin sangat masak or suka salin recipe nak try menu baru or cakes or anythg like that, but I do enjoy food so much, from eastern to western and from northern to southern, east coast to west coast. Tak kisah lah...sume aku belasah as long as they are edible and Halal.

Aku ni bab-bab cari recipe memang lah tak kuasa, even tengok Mags pun aku tak pandang pun when it comes to cooking columns....hurmmm tu lah punya lah tak minat masak...just sebab terpaksa masak and love food so much and I just learn from relatives, mom and friends.

And again, cara memasak ni, aku just cook whatever I know and easy, kira campak2 lepas tu boleh makan ...kira ok lah. Sebab having own family and anak pinak ni, aku lebih suka anak-anak aku makan my cookings...kalau termasin ke terkurang rasa ke, biar diorang sendiri lah complain...So kira dah banyak juga lah aku tahu menu-menu yang aku trial-an-error, my mom's cooking recipes ciptaan sendiri pun ada and yang tengok AFC channel kat Astro pun ada...That channel quite interesting sebab western cooking and also other foreign cooking ni agak senang buat cuma ingredient nye we just have to find them and replace them if tak sesuai or susah dapat kat our country. It is also new side of cooking that we can taste besides our local asian cooking. 

So aku rasa kelakar lah nak bagi recipe kat sini tapi disebabkan permintaan dari kawan-kawan and sedara mara ni, aku letak lah kat sini... Aku ingat nak letak lah few recipes yang proven OK lah commented dari kawan-kawan and family tapi yang paling bangga, bila mak aku pun suka few cooking yang aku buat termasuk lah potato salad.

POTATO SALAD
Background : 

The Original Recipe was from My aunty Cik Idah. She learnt it from her mom-in-law who was from Germany.

Warning:

The quantity of the ingredient may not be accurate because it is purely depending on your own ‘air tangan’ and your own personal taste ok!!! Klu tak sedap don’t blame me!! (Hik3x)

Serve              :           4-5 pax (2-3 kg serving)

Ingredient        :

1. 2 kg potato ( you can have affordable potato or the expensive American potato)
2. 6-7 eggs (M size)
3. 2-3 Capsicum (if you have green, yellow and red should be much attractive for your potato salad)
4. 10 spoon full of Mayonnaise (again depends whether you want it more rich or less rich of taste)
5. 1 pc of Lemon
6. 1 pc Small onion
7. ½ teaspoon of salt (again it depends on your taste)
8. ½ cube of chicken stock (again it depends on your taste)
9. A little ‘pump’ of Mustard (If you like to have but ok if not)

How to do it?? (Easy lah…)

1. Boil your potato and eggs till they are perfectly boiled
2. Then cool them first at the room temperature. While waiting, prepare the following:
3. Cut the capsicum to small/medium pieces then put aside
4. Cut the small onion to very small pieces and put aside
5. For the lemon source, salt, chicken stock and the lemon juice (squeeze the lemon dulu ok!) put them in a small bowl and pour hot boiled water about 40-50 ml and stir them all well.
6. Cut the potato about your ‘thumb size’ and cut each egg to 4. DON’T FORGET TO PEEL OFF THE EGGS SKIN!!!
7. You can choose to peel of the potato skin or not to peel the skin if you are using the good quality of potato.
8. Then put the potato, eggs, onion, capsicum in a big bowl and tuang the lemon source, mayonnaise and mustard (if any) together in the bowl.  Gaul sampai rata then taste it first…cukup masin, masam and milky.Then keep in the fridge for atleast 5 hours. Then, there you go…rasa lah sendiri...

Till next time aku try bagi recipe yang lain-lain pulak from my friends and family... termasuk yang 'ciptaan' aku sendiri....

Options In Our Life

It has been quite a while I have not touched and write anything in my blog. But tonight I was buzzed by my brain to let my emotions flow after thinking so much, what have got into me and my feelings lately. Sigh.... (sound serious)... hurmmm but after Isya prayer and recited Yassin just now, I took a cup of ...well 3 in 1 coffee contains caffeine but also with collagen, kacip fatimah and all sort of you-know-what-all-in-one..... This was not normal to me and I guess this was my first time taking coffee at 11.45 pm, saturday night. However, I still sought medical advise just now to make me feel alright about caffeine at night...( hik3x)..

Last weekend, I sacrifice my weekend to attend...well refreshed my knowledge background in Islamic Financial and this time particularly Takaful. I guess this is one of the thing that made me worry as I have the knowledge about this for ages. Obtained my license to advise and share to people especially Muslims but I guess I just ignore and dump in those to don't know where. Wow! more than 15 years???!!! (Gosh!!!) I think I have been selfish and irresponsible to people particularly my friends, family and relatives due to my negligence.

Well let me straight to the point, those who are concern about their basic religion, family, financial status and not only duniawi, my advise do hijrah to Takaful and other Islamic Financial products if you have options...

I have been exposed to Islamic Financing and Economics since I was in  my college years and my final project was also related to the matter. During my working experience in banking, those were the early years where banks were starting to introduce Islamic Financial products and I remembered struggling to introduce and explain to customers the unique criteria of the products. Surprisingly, I found it was so much fun and challenging at the same time as they were not new to me due to my little education background about them.

However, I left banks for quite sometimes but suppose to continue my effort in promoting and sharing the knowledge through Takaful but I failed to do so due to my own weakness. Alhamdullillah, probably this will be my wake up call and to those who read this... You have your way to think and decide.

Nowaday, there are 8 licence Takaful released by Bank Negara Malaysia and you may have options to choose but choose wisely as the background of the parent companies and holding companies may trigger your decisions in so many ways.

In brief: Takaful is base on Tabarru Concept (Sedeqah) whilst Insurans is base on Buy-Sell Concept... (Contact me for further detail and explaination..:))

Ibarat hubungan dan perasaan orang-orang beriman sesama mereka adalah seperti jasad,  apabila  salah satu  daripadanya ditimpa kesusahan, maka seluruhanggota yang  lain juga akan merasainya."

(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Bukhari dan Imam Muslim) 

"Demi hayatku berada dalam kekuasaan Allah, tiada siapa akan masuk Syurga jika beliau tidak  melindungi jirannya yang berada dalam kesusahan."

(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Bukhari dan Imam Muslim)

"Allah SWT akan sentiasa membantu hambaNya selagi mereka saling membantu antara  sama  lain"

Health Tips 2 (Continous Session...)

Hurmmm...that is my first remark after trying hard to keep my eyes wide open to write this post. Ada pearl cafe and jambu air yang aku tengah ngadap ni nak hilangkan ngantuk. Apart from facing my lappy and find something interesting...My best hobby is sleep....Zzzzzzzz

Ok, let me start about what I would like to share. Recently, I was offered to be Online stockist for NONA ROGUY products starting from May 2010 which I caught me by surprise as I have gone through some kind of short tele-interview. Yeah, I have been with the products since more than 10 years and member of Nona Roguy since 2003 and what I can say about the products are proven good but the effects may be varies to different people.

When I was first introduced to the products, the Jamu came in sachets with in a form of powder and they were called Jamu tiga beradik, Those days were my anak dara days and I was quite tak bole duduk diam, pergi swimming, gym lah and jogging.

Later on, get married, then when I got 1st pregnancy, 2nd and 3rd pregnancy with each pregnancy I gained more almost 20 kg from my original weight before pregnant. During my 1st pregnancy, I was not sure whether I really can have my weight reduced like before... however, when I consume Nona roguy set bersalin, I have no worries in addition to berpantang and discipline myself.

I have to admit that 3 pregnancies, I took 2 different set bersalin for each pregnancy and the 3rd preggy I took Nona Roguy's set during confinement. Do not ask me why I took different products during my first 2 preggy (masa tu macam gatal nak try yang lain), even after those days I still proceed with Nona roguy products.

when I stopped taking NR few years back (2007)

However, to tell you the truth, I found Nona roguy gave me the best, safe and easy steps to follow during pantang maklum lah feeling sick and weak. Not forgetting, aku ni beranak all 3 of my babies through ceasarian and aku have no worries on my wounds, breastfeeding and anak jaundice. I even get my anak dara weight back for the next almost 1 year after giving birth to my 3rd baby with minimal diet habit. 

And now, I cant leave home without this products from minyak urut, minyak mustajab and herbs tablets...

The products are suitable for ladies and gentlemen, orang tua dan muda. Anyone who would like to try the products, you can place your order to me or through the official website as per appended here.

You Are A Stronger Woman in and outside!!!

Lately I was quite excited to start my blog back... Actually so many things I wanted to share with all of you. But the one that triggered me the most was the true story about a friend of mine who is currently a single super mom. She shared her true life story recently, that shut my voice but remained my mouth wide opened throughout her sharing session!!! 

I just really could not believe that there are such women who could bear such painful and suffering life for the past more than 18 years with a cruel husband and 'produced' beautiful kids at the same time. All this while, I just read in the newspapers, mags, heard from mouth to mouth and probably watching some kind of pathetic malay and indon movies (i personally categorized that).... all about agony, pain, suffering and sadness.... Dang! penatlah...nangis jek...nanti dehydrated lak!!!

To me, (macam berlagak lah aku ni pulak!) sometimes those movies did not make any rational and logical sense of normal human character that make me sick to watch and said 'Bodoh lah punye cerita...Mana ada orang macam ni punye bodoh and baik sangat! Allah bagi otak pikir je lah!!!!'. Hehehe sorry... Those are my favourite  'quotes' when watching most malay/indon movies...Although they made me pissed (Oppppsss!!! sorry...) But still they made me cried....huhuhuhu....Da*%$#!!!

So before I get carried away, I did wrote few stories about wives being abused and how divorce was the best way out ever. But this time, I was so surprised, sad and unbelievable shocked on how certain men could do such things to their wives and 'brainless' things to their own flesh and blood...KIDS...the most precious gifts on earth... Maybe just because she, herself told me all about it and it gave me ('slap!!!...ouuccchh!!) wake up call!!.

My dear friend was being hit and abused ever since she got married to his husband who  has such professional and reputable career. At first she thought it was just his rare character whenever he got angry 'overloaded'. Plus, she loved her husband and tried hard to save the marriage and of course did not want to disgrace her husband...(Yeah...right!!! tried me then!!! let me spank him for her!!!) But until she had 4 girls, the abusive act getting worst ,even to his own kids, the 4 lovely girls. 

What made my tears ran out were a few incidents such as ,he pushed and thumped hard his little girl's head to the wall few times whenever he was outraged, and he did dripped melting candle  on one of his toddler girl's legs just to make sure that she could feel pain and not some kind of kid with handicapped legs. 

Let me ask you??? What type of dad would do such thing to any of his kids... not to mentioned if other kids who are not their own flesh and blood. Consequence to his act, which is just my blunt assumptions and without any proven facts from any medical expertise, one of his girls, is on wheelchair, cannot walk normally and another one is under regular check up due to 'something blood clot' in her brain.

I guess after more than 18 years they have been together in as a family, Allah showed my friend that she deserves better life and their marriage has came to the end when he decided to marry other younger 'lady' (which I am trying to control my words here not to call her 'b****') which he thought could give him more better kids and divorced my friend in front of the so-called-perfect-lady. I am not gonna talked about how the lady won his heart by ruining and torn this family apart, enough to tell you that, he thought that my friend was not a perfect wife and not attractive anymore.

Well, every beginnings has endings and now, I am so happy for this lovely lady-super woman-incredible mom-and-friend of mine because she did becoming better and stronger person i ever met... All the best to you babe!!! 

My questions are to all of you, what is your level of perfect wives or husbands or even in a person?What is perfect to you? Are perfect person and you claimed to be perfectionist? Then the answer is all in you!!!...

I just .... don't want to think for awhile....

For the past few days I have been tired thinking and worrying about bunch of things... I guess.. I just need to listen to something 'soothing' and sexy to my ears... I just wanted to post this 2 songs by britt's lad Shayne Ward.. It just remind me of someone ...

These lyrics should be dedicated to wives by all hubbies...

 
Breathless

If our love was a fairytale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I’m thankful for the life we’ve made

And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don’t even know how very special you are

You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You’re like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You’re something special
I only hope that I’ll one day deserve what you’ve given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

Until You

Baby life was good to me
But you just made it better
I love the way you stand by me
Through any kind of weather
I dont wanna run away
Just wanna make your day
When you fell the world is on your shoulders
Don't wanna make it worse
Just wanna make us work
Baby tell me i will do whatever
It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me
Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me
Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me
Baby nobody, nobody,until you

Baby it just took one hit of you now I'm addicted
You never know what's missing
Till you get everything you need,yeah
I don't wanna run away
Just wanna make your day
When you feel the world is on your shoulders
Don't wanna make it worse
Just wanna make us work
Baby tell me,I'll do whatever
It feels like nobody ever knew me until you know me

Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me
Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me
Baby,nobody,nobody until you
See it was enough to know

If I ever let you go
I would be no one
Cos I never thought I'd feel
All the things you made me feel
Wasn't looking for someone until you

Nobody, nobody, until you
