Girls just wanna have fun :)

Met up wif the hot mamas @ tony romas gardens.... since dah lama tak jumpa tak hengat bila berborak.... volume control sikit pun takde... but, we surely had lots of fun chatting and exchanging interesting gossips and stories of our life (and others too.. hahahah)!!

EyMie is back.....

Allo people.... i'm back!!!! i missed writing and i think i would like to start writing again... at least sumthin to remind me of things that happen and also what goes through my mind at certain important point of time in my life...

so, what's new (which is not so new actually)... to start with i'm at a new workplace (since 3 years ago) and now i'm a mrs (since 11 mths ago)... told you not so new.. berita yg dah basi... kekkeke

for 2012, i've set my mind in doing several new projects.. one on my newly found interest in creating photobooks (to-date hv printed out 2).. and another new interest is the "project 365"... trying very hard to be discipline enuf to post at least 1 pix in my Project 365 apps in my iphone... i think i should also put blogging as another project :)

ok till my next post!!

A nite with Annuar Zain

puas hati beb!!!! hehehe.... i don't think i need to say much more...

complicated?

i love avril lavigne song "complicated" tu... maybe it does remind me of myself... i do think outside i look like a very ordinary normal person.... but, inside... so very d complicated... hehhe...

i've learn a lot - relationship wise.... but somehow why can't i see where i'm heading... why do i keep choosing the winding road with no ending?! i questioned myself a lot on this... at times trying to rationalise my actions... why can't i just accept a straight fwd love life... why do i keep going back to complicated life... i guess i've been facing so many issues in life all this while.. and when sumthin good and "normal"... i freaked out... why i can't just accept that life is sometime simple and i do deserve to be happy..

well, i do not know where this is heading... and i do not know if i'm accepting the situation bcoz i'm tired to fight and axplore the world... and i do not know if i'm doing this bcoz ppl around me thinks its the right thing to do... what i know i'm giving myself a chance... whether its going to bring me happiness or not... i do not know... but, life is all abt taking risk isn't it... hopefully when the time comes i'll make the right decision :)

its already march... waaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

can u believe it... its already March!!!! God!!! time flies so fast.... can't believe it!! there's so much that i wanted to do but hv not started yet... i guess now if u want to do sumthin... just go ahead and do it... don't wait... u might not get the same chance again... so, i've started one already... we'll just see if i manage to achieve my target or not in few mths time... tungguuuuuuuuuuu!!! hehehehe....

Old tradition never dies

went back to kampung today... accompanying my mum to one of our relative's kenduri kawin... i'm not really sure how we are related as it sounded very complicated when she tries to explain to me when i ask...

it has been awhile since i attend a kampung wedding... and i really love it!!! i guess i missed the dos that we used to have at our grandfather's place when we were small... my uncle's weddings... when there's a wedding, the house will be packed with ppl even 1 week before the day... neighbours coming around to see what they can help on.. bringing sugar, potatoes, onions, milk etc etc etc... u can really feel the festive mood in the air... we call this "rewang"... everybody in the village will come in to give a helping hand without even being asked... siap ada jawatankuasa... sapa yg jaga masak2, sapa yg jaga tetamu... everything being discussed and plan together... no wonder org kat kampung rapat macam family... i saw that just now... the rewang... the old ppl will sit in front to usher guests... and the ladies will be busy making sure guest have enuf to eat...

its so diff.... food was great... home cook kan... mmg sedap!! there's no big tents with coloured scallops... not even flowers to decorate the place... only smiling faces welcoming u.... hmmm... its good that this tradition are still being practiced... not many village or places actually does this anymore... well, including my family... most ppl now uses catering for their events... sekarang bukan semua org nak tolong kan... furthermore, semua org pun busy with their on lives...

but, it is sure fun attending one wedding like that... well whatever it is tak kisah la rewang ke catering ke.., yg penting is having all your family and frens around you during your big day... kan?!! hehehhe...

Hello 2008!!!!

hehehehe.... lama ekkk tak post kat sini.... well, apa lagi alasan.... busy, busy and busy.... hmmmm... takde alasan lain ke... but, hey!!! thats good right... busy with office work yg never ending... business is picking up... we are getting more orders from other ppl besides frens & family.... and we can even see that we are pregessing and improving in our deliverables... Alhamdulillah!!!

so many things happen in 2007... i think i've achieved what i target except for 2 things... i still hv not found my other half and i'm still not losing the weight .... so, new yr resolution kena tukar la this time.... to hv a more balanced life.... i know this is general... covers all aspects.. work, family, social life, ibadat and also hv more time for myself... enjoy life and God's creation...

i think at times i've been pushing myself above the limit.. well, we're not getting any younger... kalau dulu boleh keje straight tak tido, sekarang still boleh... tapi pastu demam... hahahah....

it has been tiring to keep thinking if this guy walking past thru my life is the one... sometimes i do wonder what did i do wrong that others has done right... wonder if i've not done enuf... but, then i realise.... ni semua beyond ur control.... the more u think abt it, the more u get frustrated... so, whatever it is.... i will not loose hope to find love... appreciate what i hv and what i hv encountered thru the 31 yrs journey... i hope 2008 will bring better things into my life... more happiness, contentment and peace... also good health and a blessed life... i guess its still not too late to welcome 2008...

HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR GUYS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

This will be my 1st entry on the 1st day of 2007!!!!!! So, happy new year everybody.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this will be a "rojak-entry"... me shall write abt all things that has been happening till today... where do i start yaaaa....

ok, first of all... Alhamdulillah my hse renovation dah complete just before raya hari tu.... well, there are a few glitches here & there but... walaaa.... everything is done before my housewarming cum raya open hse hari tu.... hmmm.... having trouble uploading pix to blogger... guess pixs hv to wait... had a small get together jer for close frens.... buat soto & desserts jer hari tu... simple dish jer... whats important are those who actually spare some of their time to come.... really appreciate those who could make it that day... hari tu penat jadi tourist guide.... bringing them around the hse...

after raya, its the preparation for my brother's BIG DAY.... Alhamdulillah on the 9th Dec 2006, my everdearest bro was officially married to Aliya Abdul Rahman.... nikah was held in the morning and the reception was on the same day itself.... on our side, reception was on the 16th Dec 2006.... it has been really hectic for me... dengan Linda takde on maternity leave.... the 2 weeks was really a nightmare for me... dengan AMD nya... budget preparation la... board paper... this and that... i hv to juggle between the two... pressure tu tak payah cakap la.... bila cuti pun tak macam cuti... body at home but mind at work.... nasib baik takde blackberry jer... phone tu tak stop ringing... luckily everything pun catering yg buat... i don't hv to worry much abt preparing it but doing the project mngr role is equally penat jugak... decisions, decisions, decisions.... hv to run in & out the hse to make sure everythin is ready and done as plan... now i paham la kenapa wedding planner costs a bomb... actually, when u try and do it urself... from start to end.... then u'll know why... hehehhe.... but, hey!! i do learn a lot from the whole experience... so, i guess its gonna be useful when my big day come later ... *wink*wink*....

everything goes as plan on the day itself.... relatives from far and near datang... neighbours, frens.... eventho its really 1000x tiring... (and towards the end of the day i could not hide it anymore)... but its a successful one i can say.... we had the bersanding bla.. bla... bla.... i can see my mummy's & bro's happy face... so, all my sweat and pain is worth while... and need to mention here.... THUMBS UP to my caterer for a job very well done!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!.... i was 101% satisfied with everything... food was nyummy (this is important for me... heheh)... the decor' ... the service.... mmg A Class.... takde guest yg bila balik tak puji the catering.... well, i guest they will be getting more clients after this... maybe i should ask for some referral fees.... heh.... also, would like to say THANK U .. THANK U... THANK U.... to my dearest sheedu ... bestest fren cum partner... thanx for the lovely wedding cupcakes.... i know that's our 1st major project.... and one important one too in featuring our lovely cupcakes.... mana lagi nak promo kan kalau bukan majlis sendiri... hehe...

after all the hardwork... had a short break kat penang... during christmas hols... at least dapat ka jugak run away from all the busy schedule.... Dec is a month for wedding... so, before the yr actually ends... have attend another nikah... this time it was dila's nikah.... it was a really lovely event.... and all has ended well too!!! Congratulations to Dila & Rizal and may all good things come your way.... semoga berkekalan sehinnga akhir hayat... Ameen!! So c u during the reception....

Another good news before the yr ended ..... our awaited new cousin has safely been delivered on 30th Dec 2006... welcome to the world... Mohd Affan Daniel... a.k.a. ATOYYY.... hehhe.... he was scheduled to come out end Jan but i guess he's anxious to see the world early.... Alhamdulillah... mummy & baby are both doing fine... eventho Atoyy is still in ICU... but he's doing fine... he's really small... only 2.3 kg... but hey!!! looking at the stats.... he's gonna be one big boy in few mths time... no doubt abt that....

2006 was really a good yr for a lot of ppl around me.... lots of my closest fren get married, hv babies.... things hv been good for myself too.... eventho there are the downs but we managed to pull thru... regardless.... so, what are the hopes for 2007???? definitely i hope the days to come to bring more joy to me, my family and to all those closest to me... but, i know life is not a bed of roses.... there will be challenges, hard & difficult times ahead.... maybe tough decisions that need to be made... but, i know... what ever that lies ahead... whether its gonna be a good or difficult day.... i don't hv to be worried... as i hv all the support & love surrounding me to help me thru.... personally, i hope i will find that somebody who cares & love me .... and my new venture with Sheedu will be a successful one.... Ameen!!

Happy new year to everybody!!!

May all your wish come true!!!

Friends Forever!!! Love u guys....

so, what's happening in my life... anything interesting?? well, there's lotttsss of thing to do... thats for sure... before my bro's wedding... nasib baik la belah lelaki.. so, just hv to worry abt the reception jer.. my mother is pretty excited with all this.. bukannya nak ingat yg dia tak boleh buat keje berat... tp kalau boleh tu semua pun nak buat sendiri... i'm taking few days off la before & after the wedding... u know how guys are... kalau tanya semua pun ok... semua pun i kena decide for him... even theme colour pun kena pikirkan... adoiiii la... however for now, hv make all necessary arrangement... nanti bila my time comes, mmg siap la bro i kalau dia tak cuti lama... hehe... berkira..

well, me & sheeda are currently planning sumthin major... sumthin that might change our life in the future... currently still testing the market and at planning stage... we are targetting jan 2007 to be the launch of this project... lotsss of things to think abt... cam tak percaya pun ada... it was previously only in our mind and chat and dream... but now, the ball is rolling... so, watch the space.... i'll definitely announce it here when the "big day" comes.... me excited, scared, overwhelmed... all in... just can't wait... do wish us luck!!! so....

i know everybody must be wondering what am i talking abt... well, i guess the details let me keep it to myself and those involved... a secret?? yeah... can say so...

anyhow, hari raya is just around the corner... the hse is finally done except for the landscape part... tak sempat... that one after my bro's wedding la kot... now pun pocket kering... hehehe... so, this yr will be celebrating the 1st day raya at home... never done this before... nanti la bila dah siap kemas and susun furniture... baru boleh post pixs... now ni still bersepah with all things inside covers lagi... till next post... since takut tak sempat nak post till after raya... so, here me taking the chance to wish everybody

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

Just a note

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,

a smile,

a kind word,

a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

-Leo Buscaglia-

World cutest prayer

One day at a time....

one day at a time - this is enough

do not look back

and grieve over the past,

for it is gone,

and do not be troubled

over the future,

for it has not yet come.

live in the present,

and make it so beautiful

that it will be worth remembering.

by ida scott taylor

Tribute to PGL

ok... this post is my tribute to PGL... as we were not allowed to take any photos during the show.. the pixs are taken from their website www.pglthemusical.com.my

langit malam tidak mampu sembunyi,
terang bulan yg berseri-seri
ku bersaksi pertemuan ini
indah melampaui bidadari

di sini resah jiwaku tenggelam,
wajahmu disambut bayu malam
bulan jadi cerminan diri
rindui bintang penyeri hati

mata demi mata
berguguran bicara
kata demi kata
merubah tutur jadi rasa
hanya keasyikan
pada kewujudannya
nafas dan nadi tak terhenti
pertemuan ini kian terasa bagai bererti

kaulah segala-galanya
makna di dalam hidupku
detik ini telah lama sudah ku tunggu
hangat sentuhanmu melerai rindu
kasih di sini kuserahkan
jiwa , raga dan pengabdian
cinta utk mu segalanya
demi utk bersama
dipangkuan mu kasih
kerana mu kekasih

event... Part 2

i think u noticed that i'm supposed to post the FOURPLAY pix kat entry sebelum ni... tp tak tau la kenapa tak boleh.... nway, will post it here...

from left: Bob James, Nathan East, Larry Carlton & Harvey Mason

kat Philharmonic pun lebih kurang camni la... this pix taken fr their website

ok... enuf abt FOURPLAY.... on Thurs, i went to watch PGL ... and yes, again!!! hehehe... i'm one of the culprit yg habiskan tiket... but again.... CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!... phewitttt!!! they are EXCELLENTE as before... or should i say better... i'm lucky the nite i went tu... its the same full main cast... so, boleh la compare... 2 thumbs up to zahim & roslan... u guys hv made it again... and i think after this they are goin to s'pore... good! good!...

they hv made improvements on the effects... lighting, backdrops... which make the whole show better... rather impressive too! and the singing is definitely an improvement... from everybody... even tiara sounds better now... heheh... needless to comment la kan... on my gorgeous Hang Tuah... i think he does loose weight coz his baju pendekar doesn't really stick to his body as before... he looks YUMMYLICIOUS!! muahahhaa....

ok.. i'm having problem posting pixs again... so, will do it in the next entry..

.. events... and more social events.. Part 1

..it has been a busy week last week... full with work + social events... hmmm... coincidently everything happens in the same week... not complaining though...

on tuesday, i've attended the International Islamic Financing Convention held in Mandarin Oriental.. the event was organised by BNM, SC, LOFSA and BURSA... its basically one of the move made by policy makers in M'sia to promote M'sia as an Islamic Financial Centre in the region... it was indeed a good exposure to me to meet big shots from various organisation & also the experts in the field themselves... the panel invited to address and discuss the issues came from all over the world... some of this experts are not even muslim and they know the "in & out" of islamic financing... which i hv very little knowledge of...

one interesting point that they hv highlighted is on the fact that if the world uses islamic finance principal, the economic problems thats been facing the world right now will not exist... as in islam things have to be transparent, just & not based on speculation.. right now, in middle east there are 75 diff scholars who preach the islamic finance principal... imagine that... 75 diff views and opinion... i guess this is due to interpretation of the Quran & hadith...

u know u'll meet old frens when u go to seminars & conventions... i've met a few... old classmates, old frens... whose looking very successful or in the midst of climbing the corporate ladder... but i've never thot i'll meet this guy... it has been more than 20 yrs since i last saw him... budak SBP mana yg tak kenal dia... all girls wanna be around him... kira mmg glamer giler la dulu2 masa hi-school... ARUL KANDASAMY... he was one of the panels... currently he's the Head of Islamic Banking in Bahrain... but i'm not surprised he is what he is today... even before u can see his charismatic & leadership character... and i think being in RMC does help mold him to become that person today...

anyhow, the convention has open my mind to know more abt islamic finance... partly bcoz of knowledge & partly as a muslim i feel its a reponsibility to learn & to promote the teachings of Islam, InsyaAllah one day..... may Allah give me the strength and guide me accordingly to achieve this mission of mine..

ok... on a more relax note... that nite i went to watch FOURPLAY at Philharmonic... they are actually playing modern jazz and since i haven't been to philharmonic... so, i thot... why not?? tickets were not that expensive... we bought the RM60 and i'm totally, totally satisfied... with the performance and all eventho it started 1/2 hr late... but, its well worth it...

i know when i mention the word "jazz" everybody was saying they haven't reach that age... not their cup of tea... but, hey!! why not give it a shot... u may not know it when u don't try... plus this is a life performance ok.... not hearing it from a cd... its totally different... u can see the expression... dengan feel dia... the interaction... add up all this with the ambience, its sumthin different ... trust me!! the group plays contemporary jazz... so, if ur a fan of music with loud bass & the sound of electric guitar & keyboard plus drumbeats... u'll definitely enjoy this... I DID!!! there was not a time my head or body not moving to the beat... the way they play it will definitely leave u grooving all nite long... even after it ends, the sounds still stays in my head... they played their own rendition of "Stings - Fields of Gold"... best giler!!!

ok, they don't allow us to take pixs in philharmonic... so i got this pixs from the website.. there are 4 of them in the group... fr left, BOB JAMES on keyboard (he's truly... truly amazing), NATHAN EAST on bass (he interacts with the crowd.. most of the time), LARRY CARLTON on guitar (kalah mat2 rockers kat sini kalau nak compare the way he played.... my eyes were practically on him most of the time) and last but not least, HARVEY MASON on drums (i miscount how many times drumstick dia tercampak... really into it!!)...

in one simple word.... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! i really had a great time....

I wish for...

I wish for ---

contentment

solace

comfort

support

trust

peacefulness

kindness

laughter & joy

happiness

unforgettable memories

tranquility

sincere friendship

kindness

good health

time for family & frens

But, most of all,

I wish for --

everlasting love.
