of Aidilfitri di N9

This year, altho spending raya with Mak Lang, Mak Teh, Mak Cek n family in Seremban, it was not at all unpleasant. They treated me well altho I only have two days off with them to celebrate the raya eve and 1st day of hari raya.

The raya eve was not quite busy. Just the usual stuff, washing n cleaning a bit. Biasa la malasss..
Apart from Hafiz has already done quite a deco for Mak Lang's living room. I also spend quite equal time at both houses since rumah Mak Lang n Mak Cek are in the same row (hopefully.. ;)).

So the raya eve night was quite relaxing since rendang, kuah kacang, ketupat and all those wajib raya dishes was already prepared. Of course by both aunties.. duhh. Then, Pak Cek and frens were busy doing rounds of bertakbir around neighbourhood. And our house was the last one and guess what time they FINALLY came?.. 1.15 am!! And we slept at ..like what.. 2.30-3am?..

The next day-the big day-RAYA!! It was okay.. tho I hope I could spend it with my family back in Penang. Me miss them.. :( And the adventure began when we start doing our beghaya rounds! Went to 6 or 7 houses! It's either rumah atuk saudara or uwan saudara. But it was fun!

First, we planned to go to arwah atuk uda's house but his family already gone to their own kampung. Then, ahead to Pak Cek's elder brother's house in Lavender Height, Senawang. Next, to Tok Ngah Johari's house (satu-satunya arwah uwan's sibling yg ada. it's her younger brother) in Petaseh. Spend quite some time there, solat and all.

Then, moved to Wan Uda's kampung in Kampung Terusan. Met with all atuk uda's daughters and sons and cucus. Spoilt my mood there too, cuz of one incident. hmmph. Then, walked to uwan uda saudara's house nearby. Then, rushed to pak cik Bazli's house in i-forgot-where's-the-place-at. Solat Asar and chit chatting with the long time no see maklong and makngah yg cumel. :)

And thennn... departed with them and head to solat Maghrib at a masjid that we used to solat raya when atuk was around. Oh, how I miss him so much! :(

And last but not least, we went to uwan leter's house. Parked our cars across the road opposite her house. Anyone familiar with road along or near Pelangai would have agree that the road are full with unstoppable line of cars and buses! It took us about 20 minutes just to get to the other side! Itu pun, after Mak Cek, from across the road (she had crossed earlier than me and other cousins) suggested that we should try angkat our kain baju kurung higher so that the male drivers would stop and let us cross safely. hehe...

At uwan leter's house, all the other uwans there reminded us to remind uwan leter (i'm supposed to call her onyang (or moyang) cuz she's actually my uwan's aunty, but she's famous with that name all this time, so, to be easy, let just call her uwan leter) who's who daughter and son when we greet her. As they're afraid if she doesn't recognize us anymore since she's 80 plus years old.

So, proudly, I told her that I'm kaklong yati's daughter. and guess what?.. She still remembered me.. and she even said my name out loud. hehe. That was quite a glee moment for me cuz i seldom went to her house except for raya few years back!

We waited for her signature teh tarik yang paling sedap among all teh tarik in the world but perhaps there were so many saudara mara, anak, cucu at her house, they forgot to served it. hmm..sigh. maybe next time.

After that, we head home. Tiring but all exciting. :D
All in all, i can say that my raya was contented and alive!! ;)

On 3rd of raya, i went back to my hometown...Penang - home sweet home.
Tho late, but it's okay cuz hari raya kan sebulan! ... :P

stuck with each other : shontelle


Shontelle ft. Akon – Stuck with Each Other

You can think you can get free
You think you won’t need me
That you’re gonna get you somethin’ better
But you know that we’re in this forever
And you can think you can walk out
Even with your doubts
But you know that we’re in this together

You can try to push me from you
Nothing you do will keep us a part
Cause it’s too late, there’s no escape
Might as well face it, baby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other
Ain’t nothin you can do about it

It’s been too long, it’s been too strong
Cause we belong here
Baby, we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other
Stuck in love with each other
(stuck in love with each other)

Yeah Now I can say that I would not care
If you were not there
Tell myself that I’ll be fine without ya
but I would die if I was not around ya
and I can try to convince you
I don’t need to be with you
But my only thoughts are thoughts about ya


What can I do, love is like glue
There’s no way to
Tear us a part
Cause it’s too late (too late, too late)
There’s no escape, might as well face it
Baby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other (with each other)


Ain’t nothin i can do about it
It’s been too long, it’s been too strong
Yes, we belong here
Baby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
stuck in love with each other
(stuck in love with each other)


There’s nothing i’d rather do
Than to sit with you forever
Can’t think of nothing better
Than to be stuck with you
Cause it’s too late, there’s no escape
Might as well face it baby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other

It’s been too long, it’s been too strong
Yes, we belong here baby, we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other
Stuck in love with each other
(Stuck in love with each other)
Cause it’s too long, it’s been too strong
Yes we belong herebaby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other
Stuck in love with each other
Cause it’s too long, it’s been too strong
Yes we belong herebaby we’re stuck with each other
Stuck with each other
Stuck in love with each other
Stuck in love with each other
Ain’t nothin gonna stop me and you eh
Cause you know we just stuck like glue eh
Ain’t nothin we can do
We stuck in love with each other

women n the nine things


To whom it may concern,

Intention: Sharing is caring... hehe.

JUST... 9 Simple Things Women Want

1. Respect. Show us through your actions that you respect our opinions, careers, interests, friends, bodies, and minds. You don't have to agree with all that we say or do, but try to honor our opinions as valuable contributions. Follow the golden rule and treat us as you would like to be treated: Be honest, fair, kind, and considerate.

2. Romance. It's another night on the couch with takeout and TiVo? Just because we're staying in doesn't mean the evening can't be romantic. Light a few candles and see where the night leads. Treat us like your girlfriend, even after we become your wife. Date nights, physical affection in the car, kissing like when we first started dating -- all of the things that made us fall in love with you don't have to stop just because now there are bills to pay, a house to be cleaned, and kids to be bathed. Bring home flowers for no reason. We're not talking $100 bouquets of roses here. Even the $10 bouquets from the supermarket are enough to make us smile.

3. Time. We understand relationships can't be all wine and roses; simply making the time to be with us and treating us like your top priority says "love" more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters ever could. This includes helping around the house. The realities of a 21st-century relationship are that both partners probably work. If you happen to get home before we do, why not vacuum the living room or throw in a load of laundry? If you take the garbage out without being asked, chances are you'll be getting a big ole smooch when you come back.

4. Dinner. Of the homemade variety. You may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water. But greeting us at the door after a long day with fish sticks (or whatever you can wrastle up) makes us swoon, because it shows that you've been thinking about us and our hectic day.

5. Communication. Women are vocal creatures. We know you love us, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. We can also be insecure. We wish we weren't, but the reality is that we often notice our wobbly thighs and forget about our gorgeous eyes. So let us know when you think we're hot. Tell us we're beautiful. It helps us feel good. Words of appreciation aren't half-bad either. Tell us you love the lasagna we made. Notice that we cleaned the bathtub. It doesn't have to be over the top, just let us know that you see the effort we put in, and you're grateful.

6. Consistency. This doesn't mean be boring and predictable. It means that we know you will (usually -- no one is perfect!) give us the love and support we need. Knowing that you're coming at this with the same desires and energy as we are goes a long way to making us feel secure.

7. Engagement. Of the mental kind, not the "I'm getting married in the morning" kind. You don't have to like everything we like (we might be a little concerned if you do), but showing interest in our passions, be it career-related, a sport, or a hobby, goes a long way. Listen when we talk to you. We're not speaking just so we can hear our own voice; we want to connect with you and this is one valuable way we do this. This also means paying attention to the little things. Whether it's the name of your best friend's husband or the fact that you hate Nicolas Cage movies, it's the little things you remember about us that's so endearing.

8. Humor and Humility. These two tend to go hand in hand. This doesn't mean that you have to crack jokes or entertain us, but just being able to laugh at yourself is enough. Guys who take themselves too seriously bring everyone down.

9. Challenge. Not the kind that makes a relationship constant work, but the good kind that surprises and motivates us to do, be, or achieve what we desire. Studies show that partners who prod each other to meet goals -- in other words, don't support lazy or bad habits -- are ultimately happier than those who don't hold each other accountable.




That's all we or... errr.. I want...later (cuz most apply after a marriage).
Thank u very much! :D
