dan 9 orang yang masih bersekolah....

Family belah mak memang rapat mungkin kerana jumlah kami yang sedikit. 17 orang sepupu menyebabkan saya mampu menghafal nama mereka kesemuanya. ^___^ 4 orang dari kami telah pun mendirikan rumah tangga dan saya telah pun mendapat 2 orang anak buah. InsyaALlah seorang lagi bakal menyusul bulan 4 nanti. =)

Kakak saya adalah cucu pertama dan telah pun mendirikan rumahtangga. Anak mereka, Nurul Athirah adalah cucu pertama dalam keluarga merangkap anak buah saya yang pertama jugak!

Nurul Athirah baby yang sangat comel dan sangat pandai. Percaya tak, umur 5 bulan tirah dah terer 'Give me 5' dengan orang, dan laju giler jalan dlm walker, suka buku sampai mengabaikan semua orang kat sekeliling dll. Athirah memang sangat comel. Apa yang saya rasa buatkan tirah cantik is dia ada dimple. Dua-dua belah ada lesung pipit! Bila teringat dia gelak, rindu kot!

Selepas kaklong, Iwan pulak menyusul dengan Su. Iwan anak maklang Pah, adik mak. Cool habis lah wedding derang ni. =) Minggu lepas, derang baru dapat baby girl. Damia Zara. *tetibe teringat ZARA* hahha-s~ Cenggini maknanya, saya dah ada 2 orang anak buah ah kan?

Happy Birthday, Mak.

Today, January 20th, is my mother's birthday and I want everyone knows that she is the best M.O.T.H.E.R in the world. She is amazing, brilliant, beautiful and... and cool! She wants me to get married at age 25. It means next year. I think, that really makes her 'The-Coolest-M.O.M-on-earth' *wink*. Mak, walaupun anak mak memang nak kawen tapi mak... ah takder apa-apa lah mak.cool, memang cool mak kalau kawen taun depan! *fullstop*. Haish, I'm so sad I can't be there to celebrate her birthday but I think that maybe the way to celebrate her birthday this year is..."Make A List of 9 Facts about My Mother". Everything I share with you about her in here, ooo please, please and please don't tell her okayh!

1. She was born in 1959 and married my father when she was 19. She has 3 children;Kaklong, Angah and me. Owh, and one granddaughter. And one cat.

2. My mother used to take me to the library near my house every weekend when I was a kid. While the other kids were home watching 'Tom & Jerry', she was marching the three of us off to the library. Hahhahh.Borink! Hey, Hey,Hey. You can't say that. Library... Here is where people, One frequently finds, Lower their voices and Raise their mind. In fact, we also have our own library at home during my childhood.

3. She made baju kurung for me and my sister for every Hari Raya (till 2005 if I'm not mistaken).

4. She makes the best chocolate cake in the world. And orang cake. And cookies too. In fact, she is among few housewives who supplement her family income by baking+selling cookies during Hari Raya. *terharu & I Love U*

5. She has a knack for decorating and gardening. If this month the sofa is HERE and the next month you'll see the sofa is THERE. And what I'm going to tell you next is not a lie! She even plant Elaeis guineensis in front of our house. Hahhahh. Korang mesti tak tahu kan pokok apa lah mak aku tanam tuh. Mak aku tanam pokok kelapa sawit weyh depan rumah aku. Katanya cantik! isk.isk.isk.mak...mak... She is cuter than I thought!

6. She was one of the top school athlete back in the early 70's. Her friends told me that she represented her House in almost every race possible and also represented the school at external events. A sprinter. A volley-ball player. A hockey player. A what-else-I-don't-know-but-I'm-sure-SHE IS AWESOME!!!

7. She has a book, 'Recipes' where she kept all the secrets about cooking, all the recipes of homemade cookies and etc in there. I don't think I should copy anything from this book. I'm just thinking that either me or my sister will inherit this book later. So, why worry?

8. She is the second of seven children born to Hj.Salim and Hjh Mina a.k.a Zainab. She is loved and respected by everyone in her family.

9. My mother, she is definitely T.H.E C.O.O.L.E.S.T M.O.M around.

10. (an extra one) I wish her a wonderful birthday and many more to come. I Love U very much, mak. Forever!

In closing.... Thank you, Mak. Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say to make me feel better when the world gave a bitter pill to swallow, for always knowing something was wrong no matter how hard I tried to hide from you and for always being my best friend.

Smile.You're beautiful. =)

Two days ago, I've picked up a magical bottle from Distant Shore. Someone wrote this, "Your beauty has no boundaries, and cannot be described by words" (www.operationbeautiful.com) . This is an amazing message I've received on that day so I went onto mystery google and found out that this website is totally awesome.

Operationbeautiful is a website for women. The mission is to post anonymous notes in public places for other women to find. I agree with the editor of operationbeautiful that the purpose of making the website is to open women's eyes that "We are all B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L and we are all enough, just the way we are!"

By looking at the notes written by the women in operationbeautiful just made me realize that I myself should do the same thing in order to be thankful to my Creator, to motivate myself to be happy, and to remind myself that I'm worth it. I've become inspired by all the messages and I started writing my own sticky notes. "You're beautiful! So smile" and "Your smile brightens the day".

For me, this is fun and I think its a good way to appreciate myself. It isn't easy, trying to change my opinion about myself, but it's worth it to look in the mirror and smile to myself as I just feel beautiful from the inside out.

"Distant Shore"

{Walk the sand}

{Discover yourself}

{Communicate}

"Distant Shore" application is a social-networking application for IPhone and Ipod touch users. It allows you to communicate with the world using the classic "message-in-a-bottle" concept. Upon launch, it puts you on the shore of an endless beautiful 3-D beach and you'll have a hut where every message will be sent here. It means the only way to get your messages waiting by the mailbox is to run back to your hut.

Before I'm allowed to send a message, I need to pick up 5 seashells which will then convert to an empty bottle. After that, I'll be able to start sending message in the bottle. Once I get a reply from my message, I'm allowed to continue conversation with the sender. I've made some new friends here. JH is one of them and live in Korea. We exchange opinions, details and stories about our own countries; Mine is Malaysia and JHs is Korea.

For me, this application really offers its users a new way to communicate and express themselves. And for those IPhone/Ipod touch owners who are now reading my blog, lets join the party as well. Lets exchange Message-In-The-Bottle! =)

Why I love giving friends a birthday cupcake

What can be more soothing to the soul, tummy-filling & sociable than having a piece of cupcake? These are just some of the reasons why I love cupcake.*wink* Oprah Winfrey had once said,"I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check but it's being able to touch somebody's life"...okay ,it doesn't makes any sense I bet so.*giggling*. My friend, najidah...she was the one who introduced cupcake to me. When I first saw this fairy cake, yups I was falling in love with it. In fact, the small size of it with a simple-but-lovely decoration on the top of it especially when it's topped with frosting and gumpaste flower...really makes my heart smile. Ahha, and one thing I'm pretty sure about "birthday cupcake" is by giving this heartfelt gift for someone's birthday, it's really a happiness year round mantra...just look at it, it will sure makes your heart melt and of course triggers your salivary gland...
