my family caricature..

we visited aquaria on 24th may 2009, it was just a simple plan to entertain the kids as my list to interesting places exhausted..there are not many places actually to rest and relax (not under the hot sun..pls for God's sake..my skin was tanning badly!). once we were out of the fish tank..i mean the tank tunnel, we were thinking of having a momento just like we always did when we were in most of our family vacations. we saw this interesting stall..the caricature stall which we were hunting for all this time...we met this cartoonist..and he did this splendid caricature perfect for our coming soon customised hari raya card..(limited edition). thanks aloy..(sounds familiar)

retro girl in modern world...katy perry

seriously, first time i heard the whole songs in the album..i fell in love with Katy Perry. She sings out of her feelings, showing how the music really gripped the lyrics and stabbed deep into the soul. recommended to hear:" i kissed a girl", "hot n cold", "lost" and top of my list "thinking of you"..no regrets, no mistakes...buy this album and you'll know what you really feel inside...

WAR GAME vs AKADEMI FANTASIA

pics courtesy of ahdab... shukran jazilan ya ukhti!

BIG..BIG..we r here!..

it was a very tiring weekend as i had to encounter a battle in the PD forest with the guerilas to get the hijacked james bond bag...what the heck with the age of 33...it was indeed fun when group of upm mba students started a war in the middle of nowhere. we were so happy and it was a new experience for the Gen-Y..as for me battle in Pulada Camp was worst coz it was raining heavily on the hill, slippery (in fact my celoreng cap was missing during fleeing away from the enemy plus bringing the stony back pack and real M-16)..(al maunah also fought that day..the difference was it was a real war!) and plus pacat all over my body...(yucks!!!it was a bloody day).

Actually, my group was ultimately lost in the jungle, tks to the navigator (i know u tried ur best) and faci (whom just let us go astray all the way)..we almost reached the top coz i can see the clear moonlight sky..then went down again..until we been informed that were lost at 9pm. first time when we reached the DOP (drop off point) dah kena baling ngan bom tapai by the guerilas..so mean, it was havoc that 2/3 of the group members were shot!i got the splash of the stinking bomb and considered dead by the committees (tipu..x pasal2 the leader had to bail out 14 lives that evening).

pose lps selamat berenang ke tepian..fuhh baik x kena mkn jaws

the best part was kita org dah ada new tactic from not being shot dead by sitting under the flying mat..yup..only two of us died..then the whole team of upm merged and used the same tactics and the real battle exploded when all the 6 groups attacked the guerilas at 11.30 pm and we were bombing them like hell (fun and best giler..i managed to shoot 1 guerila..jadila and 1 org sendiri..kih3x). yeaa..we got the bag!and at 12 a.m. back to eagle ranch by army truck (it was really a dejavu of DPA course).

berakit rakit ke hulu..

Saturday..another mission awaiting...we were instructed to build a raft to the high sea. using bamboos, rope and tong drum..we managed to build a cute raft to fit 16 of us..i took the right paddling side..(which was the hardest part)..but before that we were thrown 1km from the beach and to swim back together to the shore. then we prepared for the race...yeah BIG..we went to the sea..aku kayuh mcm2 style sampai rasa mcm dah naik keras tgn...ye la belah kanan mcm x de rehat..kayuh n kayuh like hell...we made to the shore first then the worst part, we got 2nd..grrrr..jez bcoz we didn't cheer!we were so devastated...but apa nak buat tak de rezeki..
my group overall was second..we had lots of activity some succeeded and some failed due to low techniques and lacked of effective communication. however, it was a good exercise for strategic mgmt team building jez need a little SQ and anger management and things gonna be smoother.

pasti berjaya di akademi....

the saturday night of our BBQ night was actually akademi fantasia season finale...i was on stage singing kiss me (but changed to hit me) by sixpence non the richer..with my 4 other friends(zaida, liza, m.l. and sky..we were doing great..konon2nye la..). i got sms from sis and hubby saying that Hafiz is the Champion of AF7. I'm glad..my prophecies came true..i liked hafiz a lot coz he's a real performer and he's showing genuine effort..but the worst was aril was 2nd...patutnye 3rd..and akim instead of 3rd be the 2nd...yazid and isma no comment..
whatever it was both event was really something to me..

28 n kickin'

dania always looks good in pictures

we are alwiz buddy for life

mom is great isn't she?

bff..i think i had a weird face

happy bornday 2 u...!

my little sister turned 28 on 24th april...i can still remember both of us playing together when we were small...sharing secrets bout our fantasy on acis (gersang) and along (exist). your 'torchering sermons' still haunting me till now..coz sometimes you still doing it..although we are 6 years apart, you are some like a big sister to me...to you i was a fierced sister truly hated by both bana and majedah..but nevermind sis...that was yesterday..although i was a 'quite big' sister now, you seems to accept me as i am...coz i do really miss you everytime you're not around..coz we have the same head but different sentiments..i am a tough one..the self-centred while you are tough too but softer and devoted..which makes you being loved by everybody especially your loving hubby...he is a really lucky man...

take a good look at the pictures..we are still who we were 20 years ago...back in terengganu...i really miss those days..(kak don't be small hearted..your stories are x-rated not for public viewing..he..he..)

when children went for excursion...la..la..la..

wedenesday 1st April 2009....APRIL FOOL...in fact was not a foolish day in our lives...it was act actually very2 interesting especially to dania bcoz this was her first visit cum learning trip to Petrosains KLCC...the 3 of us (nia, dod n me) hit the road as early as 7.30 in the morning to upm children's development lab a.k.a kindergarten and waited for about an hour before we board on upm bus...yehuu..actually i was excited too as it's been a while not travelling on bus...the best part..i can see the children's happy faces...and in the bus they were so exciting in describing buildings and any transportation on the road...although i have to share seats wif 3 children including mine...it was a very happening day.

arrived at KLCC around 9.30...teacher had assigned moms to take care some of the children who came without parents, i myself have to take care of 4...mcm jaga anak ayam jugaklah coz they were so excited and keep searching for their friends along the way to the 4th floor..i like mak ayam (bukan ibu ayam ye..) kept chirping all the time to make sure they holding hands and made thru the way safely..

at last were in...i felt that some of the kids were not thinking of understanding the exhibition, they were actually having fun, pressing, pushing and pulling here and there...actually i was the one who lebih2 coz the last time i entered petrosains when i was still dating with papa 'popsicle'.

then we boarded on simulation chopper which made me remember of a genting's movie ride. but the best part being in the time tunnel at the beginning and end of the walk which i considered as 'intelligent yet captivating'. then i started to wonder...berapa how big is the area becoz it was a very long walk and consumed almost a 3 storey building..

whatever it was, the girls were out of breath and fell asleep in the bus on the way home. we were only given a small container of mi hoon and an apple plus air kotak for lunch..just imagine..they ate like there will be no tomorrow (including me...teruk betul) i wish i bought nasi lemak coz pity them..it was not enough

now my turn to tell my April Fool day...it was awful afternoon, after we back to the kindergarten, dod was asleep so i had to carry her, then i tried to look for nia as she had board off from the bus earlier..what unfortunate for me was..my right leg hit an uneven path and i fell with dod...it was indeed terrible...my right ankle terseliuh and my left knee torn and bleed. malu campur sakit la..shock and confused..when i reached home i just went into my room and slept it was really a shocker!

now i had to bear the consequences, the right leg getting worst and i cannot pray normally, have to use the chair...walking is a nightmare. However, it was a really good day for both of my children and i promised to go there again...
