The Word

Anas, my husband's "bromance" posted this on my birthday at FB
Makes me smile all day
He is such a sweet guy.
Last weekend we had him as our house guest
It was really fun having him around
I can see that my surfacing is very happy having his bestfriend
Anas live in Sabah which makes it difficult for them to hang out

I just want to say thank you to you brother
Anas is the one who did this beautiful illustration for our wedding
ala Struzan...
probono.
We really really love it.



He is super talented.
I wish I could have half of his skills
ngeee
Look at these beautiful artwork


The incredible lou


Natalie Portman


Hellboy

Carlos Santana


The man himself

More artwork from his blog

Anywho,
His birthday was on March 18th...
I think it's not too late for me to wish him happy belated birthday in a special entry
Brother, I wish you all the love and happiness in this world
and we will try to find a perfect four-letter name for your second boy
I still think Adha and Reza are nice
but Tony or Ozzy is pretty ridiculous :)


MY INTERMONOLOGUE:Tenacious D - To be the best

TWENTY09

20.03.2012.

I am 29 years old.
Alhamdulillah.
Can't believe I'm at the end of my twenties
I may not achieve much for the past 10 years
But I never feel better than this.
My friend, Fara described it perfectly on fb
a very sweet wish from her




Yes.
It is indeed the best gift ever.
I am a wife to a person I love so dearly for 10 years
and a mother-to-be, InsyaAllah.
Three months and more :)

I got my first wish from my husband at 12 midnight
and other wishes from family and friends
from sms, fb and twitter
I feel so blessed




My lady boss treat me a nice lunch at Penang Village
Me and Surfacing planned to go out for dinner but I vomitted on the evening
So we just ordered dominos pizza
He said it before, don't expect anything for birthday
but he surprised me with a nicely wrapped present






It's a rare edition of Lynyrd Skynyd Biography
Thank you so much my dear Surfacing.
Now I have to find rare item for your birthday this coming June ;)

I'm sharing birthday date with my younger brother
and my sister's birthday on the 29th
So my mom will throw a small makan-makan for us next week
I'm so missing my family
Can't wait to see them this week.

Alhamdulillah.
Praise to Allah SWT.
For giving me another day to breathe, to love and to live with my husband,
parents, family and friends.

08.03.12 | 2.00am


It's been raining since 4pm, non stop, consistently heavy
11pm and still raining
I told myself to call my mom, just to be alert
but I fell asleep


08.03.12 | 6.00am


Received SMS from my sister around 3am
Flood.
For the third time in 29 years
The last flood was 3 years ago
and happened in the month of March too




08.03.12 | 11.00am


My brother uploaded some picture
It's up to the waist
and it happened too fast they unable to move stuff






08.03.12 | 3.00pm

Me and Surfacing decided to take a day off and helped out
It was a total mess
Everything fell apart
Thick mud
We have to throw almost all furniture
mattress
some electrical item
I can safely say it's about 20k loss
My brother's brand new kawasaki ninja alone need about 7k repairing cost




08.03.12 | 9.10pm

Whatever it is I'm still grateful
Everyone's safe
We still have our house
Still have our clothes and TV and fridge
Most important, it happened after the wedding
Both me and my sister wedding
Thank you Allah SWT.

A Life Less Ordinary

Rayyan-Hopefully my baby as fair and as cute as you!


9 weeks.
Alhamdulillah so far so good.
Last week check dah dapat dengar heartbeat.
Baru tau yang heartbeat baby ni laju rupanya ye.
Tersengih-sengih bila terpikir
menyesal tak ambik video heartbeat tu
Another 3 weeks to go untuk trimester 1.
Masih berhati-hati and keep praying everything safe and smooth.


Antara simptom selama 9 weeks:

1. Takda morning sickness tapi evening pukul 5pm-10pm

2. Waktu maghrib paling crucial - dah 4x muntah so far

3. Suka makan yogurt especially berries flavor

4. Dulu boleh minum susu sekarang kena minum dengan cereal sebab loya

5. Dulu terbayang fried food dah loya sekarang tak boleh makan spaghetti

6. Suka gila nasi lemak. Minggu ni dah 4x aku makan nasi lemak. Rasa bersalah sangat.

7. Driving nak balik tu amat meloyakan so kena kunyah snickers

8. Love bananas especially dole!

9. Perut berangin, senak and susah sendawa

10. Emotional sikit tengok cerita sedih sikit je dah berair air mata. So not me!

11.Snacking every 1 hour to avoid nausea. Current favourite- biskut munchys, biskut tiger,
oat krunch and snickers.

12. very dry and itchy skin and acne break out...sigh.

13. Very sleepy during the day and mild back ache

14. Cepat mengantuk - pukul 11.00 maximum pastu terus pengsan sampai pagi

15. Malas masak and jadi clumsy bila masak.
kalau dah malas memangla macam-macam kan.heh.


Other than that, I think everything ok
Rasanya tak teruk lagi so far since tak muntah sangat
I hope trimester 1 berakhir dengan baik
Can't wait for the next phase :)

Semalam emosi je aku baca tweet manusia-manusia yang marah
konsert Erykah Badu ni kena banned
lagi emosi bila manusia-manusia ni melayu islam
pastu artis-artis melayu islam pulak
Macam perkara remeh je kan macam takda offended langsung
Siap cakap oh melayu ni cepat sangat insulted la kolot la apa la...
Wow, so shallow.

Lukis gambar Nabi Muhammad SAW pun menyebabkan
seluruh muslim di dunia membantah
apatah lagi memakai tattoo Allah SWT.
Ini religion la bukan culture, get it?
Takde sensitivity langsung ke?

Ada yang persoalkan kata tu just temporary tattoo la...
She's ill-informed la apa lah
yes, yes aku tak peduli masalah dia
masalahnya sekarang kita yang seolah-olah menyokong kesilapan dia.

Yang blame Rais Yatim jangan cakapla
Siap terkeluar pulak isu-isu politik
(blearghhh)
kenapa sehari sebelum konsert and just after keluar paper The Star baru nak banned?
kenapa tak check awal-awal dulu masa sebelum bagi permit
Hellooo
Aku pun honestly tak pernah tau tentang kewujudan gambar dia pakai tattoo camtu
maybe because I'm not a fan pun
so apatah lagi la menteri yang busy tu dan orang-orang gomen yang approve tu

Padan muka Pineapple Concert
tipu la kalau korang tatau pasal gambar tu langsung
Masa hantar proposal tu mesti tak tunjuk punya gambar tu
atau maybe dia photoshop kan tattoo tu
lepas dapat permit happy je kan
sekali Allah SWT nak tunjuk... hamik kau
terpampang besar2 dekat paper The Star
just a few days before the concert
Served you right.
Rugi memang rugi la
But patut korang dah predict benda ni boleh jadi
Kita ni hidup zaman communication atas ke bawah
Kan senang kalau bawak artis-artis yang less risky kan

The thing is,
once we know about the information
We can't unlearn it
or ignore it
So what Rais Yatim did memang wajar
Ini negara Islam yang berjuta rakyatnya beragama Islam
yang walaupun mungkin tak alim mana pun
tapi bila kita dah tau fakta bahawa nama Allah SWT terpampang
dekat badan half-naked Erykah Badu
Are we gonna close one eye and move on?
Sejahil itu ke kita?

I better stop before I get too emotional.
Just read ada satu portal gossip ni yang menyokong tindakan menteri
dan menempelak tindakan artis yang bantah
Good one.

Kita maybe masih belum sempurna
masih merangkak mencari cahaya
Cuba menjadi Muslim yang lebih baik dari hari sebelumnya
Tapi jangan sampai yang NYATA dan BENAR itu dipersoalkan.
Nauzubillah.
