# romantic dinner on 9th wedding anny #

i was so excited waiting for this day.. that is my wed anny of the ninth. i've arrange something special n romantic for both of us. i gave a card for him. * usually i always do so on our special day*
we make a date to have dinner together at JEMPUTREE. i found this place through the internet. *the most romantic place to dine*



i left my children at mami's house. tonight is for both of us.. ONLY. i already booked a place to enjoy food in a romantic atmosphere. there, we need to sit kneling, ala kampung.. surrounded by lush trees and neon lights. there are fish pond and we're treated to the sound of an artificial waterfall. so cool.. sweet romantic..

tom yam.. omelette.. mixed vege.. 100 plus and lassi mango ..that is our menu.. nice!! *



hmm.. nampaknya tahun ni tak de apa-apa hadiah. kami cuma meluangkan masa bersama di jemputree. aku cuma beri sekeping kad sebagai tanda ingatan. selamat ulang tahun perkahwinan ke-9!!



kad: cute sangat..

PART4#MAMAK: ENGAGEMENT PARTY

kali ni.. entry aku berkisar tentang majlis pertunangan one of my in law's relative. kira anak buah biras aku la..

sepatutnya, aku ikut rombongan meminang.. malangnya ada perkara yang tak dapat dielakkan.. kami sekeluarga cancel ikut pada awal pagi.. so, kitorang pergi lunch je kat sana.

sepanjang perjalanan kami, hujan turun dengan lebatnya. dalam hati dok pikir jugak.. cemana la majlis tu? dengarnya perancangan bagai nak rak! tak tau la apa yang jadi..

Then, sampai sana kami disambut tuan rumah dengan penuh gumbira. kami terus dijemput menjamah makanan yang sememangnya macam kenduri kawin pulak.. ada kurma kambing *hidangan wajib bagi golongan mamak* ayam ros, timun berkuah kacang, nasi ada 2 macam, kuah dalca.. wal'lah sodap!! uol nak tahu catering mana? 'umi sekha catering' 1 of the famous caterer in penang. lauk memang A+!! makan sampai kenyang.

tengah aku sibuk dok perabih saki baki lauk kat pinggan aku tu, mami n mami Fatimah pula sibuk perkenalkan kami dengan keluarga n orang2 yang ada kat sekitar meja makan kami. terutamanya keluarga sebelah pengantin lelaki *mapley*. aku.. dengar je..

pas tu, mami ajak aku masuk ke dalam rumah. on the way tu, jumpa sorang pompuan.
mami: ha.. ni la *ponnu.. *pengantin pompuan
aku: oo... hai..
pompuan tu: (senyum)
mami: eh! bukan.. ni isteri Putera..
aku: (sengeh) ohh..

memang menjadi kegemaran mereka memakai pakaian yang lip lap lip lap and very glam.. tambah pulak dgn accessory emas.. kalah pengantin..!!

masuk kat dalam rumah..
waa... ternganga jugak mulut aku bila tengok ponnu yang dok kat pelaminan tu.. sangat santek... santek.. santek.. tak de perkataan lain dah.. tetiba tangan aku ditarik oleh biras aku. "Meh suap gula kat ponnu.." aku pon ikut jer.. suap sikit..

suap gula means ahli keluarga kedua pihak menyuap gula ke dalam mulut kedua mempelai *betul ke mempelai.. baru bertunang.?* yerrr... gula..!! *heheh.. pasneh potong kaki la jawabnya..* adat ni simbol kemanisan zaman pertunangan.. bicara yg manis-manis belaka agar tidak berlaku pertengkaran yang boleh menyebabkan putusnya tali pertunangan..

yang aku terpegun tu.. baju dier.. lawa-santek-cute-comey-gorgeos giler!! baju lengga.. ala-ala bollywood gitu!! warna ijau.. penoh dengan accessory pelamin pon cantek!! macam aisywarya rai pon ada..




lagi satu kejutan.. mampley dia.. wah!! handsome nyer.. pakai ala-ala shahrukh khan pulak.. punjabi sut! warna putih silver.. kalau korang kenal dafi.. memang sejibik! hidung dia yang mancong.. bulu mata lentik dan kuyu.. wah.. manis.. memang padan la..
itu baru bertunang.. kalau kenduri kawen.. lagi gempak la..

si prempuan anak tokey kedai printing.. si lelaki pewaris dan pemilik kilang roti..
caner? sama padan la.. orang berada..
*itu pun ada masalah jugak~*

ni nak citer pasal orang kat sekeliling pengantin pulak.. oleh kerna bakal pengantin tu lawa sangat.. sibuk la mak-mak dara nak bergambar.. aku pon ter join sekaki.. hahahaha.. malangnya tak de saper nak shoot guna phone cam aku.. tak leh la nak share ngan korang.

ni je gambar yg aku boleh share...






gelap pulak gambar ni...

WHEN DAYANNA TOLD A FIB!

i was very angry when Dayanna cheat this evening, not on me but on her grandma. How many time we tried to question whether what is said is true or scam. it make us confused!!
she didn't confess until her grandma persuaded and finally admitted. at that time, i was burst out! like a meteor into the sphere of a planet! i'm not concerned about my MIL anymore. i just wanna clog the chillies into Dayanna's mouth. My mouth is not incessantly nag.

i started questioning myself...
what i'm less educated her? or from whom she learned to lie? why she was always cheating? arghh..
It make me feel really tired and impatient.

Apparently, there are several reasons why they're lying:
1) Fear
2) To protect somebody else
3) because she is imaginative and the truth is boring.
4) To avoid an unpleasant task.
5) by mistake.
6) For love, or approval

The third and the fourth features are due to her. There is an article that shows that lie is an illusion that accompany the child. They often blend fantasy and reality.

Dayanna has her own "imaginary friend". When i scold her, she would blame her "imaginary friend" about the mistake. hmm.. Psychiatrist from Maryland said that.. "Very young kids don't know the difference between truth and fiction" ... Prof of Psycho said.. " Preschoolers with higher IQ scores are more likely to lie, furthermore.. lying may also be linked with good social skills in adolescents. There are some articles that i've trace to find out more on how to solve this problem! here

Hope to see the positive changes to Dayanna soon..

wang kelian vs padang besar # part 2

This is the continuation of the post yesterday.

At PB, I'm taking steps to visit all the shops in front of my eyes. I started by buying brooches ordered and certainly for me as well. Then, buy some other items that had been ordered by my colleagues. Wow!! all sorts that i had bought. But where is my belongings?
Hussaini is starting to fuss while i just want to buy my clothes. My hubby was tired of his 'riot' but i still linger in many shops to have all that i want. Finally, i just managed to have a blouse ONLY!

I was not aware that the clock is shown at 7 pm. We left to go to Rumah Tok. Tok cooked for us. plan to dine at KOK apa citer? well... we decided to cancel to stop at KOK although i've told them about our arrival. *Sorry*

On the way home, i looked the goods i've bought. Not much.. but the money i've spent almost RM 300 though! *next time must bring more money*

thats the story of a day in the north!

wang kelian vs padang besar

aloha!! Saturday's ago, i went to Perlis without planning ahead. I told my husband that i want to balik kampong. even though he is very busy, he also spend time with us.
In the morning when we left there, then we're planning travel to destinations that are waiting.

* lunch
* taman ular
* wang kelian
* Padang besar
* Rumah tok
* Rumah Mak
* Dinner @ Kopi O Kampong!!

As promised, we went to the proposed location. first, at Taman Ular. We have seen a snake defecate. have u seen it? Amazing!! hehehe.. yellow dung!!





then, we went through a hilly and winding road to get to the second location: Wang kelian. this place is well known and has been published in a televisyen programme *3 hari 2 malam, kalau tak silap la* This place, apparently did not like what i think and seen on tele. all the shops selling the same products. although many stores, about 1Km long, it cannot attract any interest in me to spend RM there.






sempat lagi main kat wang kelian...

Approximately 1 hour we walk there, we went to Padang besar. To those who do not hold the dizziness and nausea, no need to go to wang Kelian. I was almost weak, so dizzy. But when we arrived in PB, i continue to be healthy and fit.*shopping therapy*

panjang dah rasanya aku menaip ni.. sambung di lain entry la pulak..

PART 3# MAMAK : KENDURI BERKHATAN

ha.. da lama tak tulis blog pasal mamak..
baru2 ni, aku ada pegi satu majlis kenduri berkhatan keluarga sebelah biras aku merangkap adik-beradik mom in law aku jugak la..
Sampai je kat umah kenduri.. waaa... macam kenduri kawen beb..
antara lauk pauk yang ada.. kurma kambing.. wajib ada kambing ayam masak apa aku pun da lupa, dalca, acar buah, timun berkuah kacang. istimewanya lagi.. siap ada ais cendol n bubor kacang.. ha.. mcm kenduri kawen tak? audio system tok sah kata la kan.. sure la ada..

"ha.. maplei da mai dah!" erk? aku jadi heran.. mamplei? anak teruna la tu wah!! siap berarak masuk lagi!! orangnya bertemakan arabian.. hmm.. cute gak!! masuk je umah.. waahhhh... lagi la ternganga.. tak penah lagi aku tengok majlis berkhatan ada pelamin! kalau majlis cukur jambol tu biasala jugak..

well.. this is tipical mamak did!! everything they do, they will share with relatives in their own way.

1 of 10 dreams were fulfilled

heheh.. at last terlaksana jugak impian aku yang ke 6..*cut a new hair style*
25 hb Feb 2011 @ diva hairstyle kat desa Damai.. tahun ni, aku tukar lagi hair saloon. bukan apa, nak test yg baru pulak.. yang dulu2 semua tak serasi.. abis rambut aku yg kiut miut ni diorang hancorkan.. sebelum ni aku tak pernah tak berteman bila pegi hair saloon.. mesti bwk hubby ikut skali. tapi hari tu, aku tekad nak pegi sorang2 ja. tak tahan sebab panas sangat.. da rasa berpeluh n gatal2 ja kepala ni. maklum saja la bertudung seharian. lemas pulak rasanya kalau rambut panjang. sejak aku mengandungkan Dayanna Mareni tu, tak de da aku nak bela rambut panjang. da abis riwayat mayang mengurai semua. *rindu jugak nak berambut panjang* tak sesuai lagi sebab rambut da banyak luruh.

di kedai gunting...
"potong pendek ha.. saya tak mau panjang.. depan kasi sikat tepi.. belakang pendek.."
"ho.. mau pekdek ha? ok!ok! ini macam ok?"
cuci n gunting RM25 aje.. ok la tu.. punya la lama dia tonyoh kepala aku.. hehehe relax jer..
da siap blow.. aku nampak ok2 aje..
balik rumah, mandi semua... waaa...

macam ni la lebih kurang.. tapi, rambut i pendek sikit aje lagi.. hehehe...
memang puas hati.. nak nak bila di puji pulak oleh sang suami.. wah.. nampak muda remaja la pulak!!

books review: sentuhan ibubapa *dr.shukri*

lately aku telah mengubah hidup aku bila benda yang paling aku tak suka buat aku dah buat! pelik kan? sekarang aku suka membaca especially buku novel inggeris.. hobi ini bermula tahun lepas bila aku suka-suka beli buku kerana harganya yang murah, cuma RM5. pastu, bila dah baca rasa gumbira n nak lagi... dah bertambah la koleksi buku aku tu..
untuk kali ni aku nak review buku dr. Shukri ni. aku rasa buku ni dah lama ada dipasaran.. tapi aku je yang baru beli.. ada kisah jugak disebalik pembelian buku ni... masa tu, aku kena belikan hadiah utk penceramah majlis ilmu, aku memang tak dak idea nak beli apa.. so, aku terjah la kedai buku.. punya la lama dok belek.. last sekali buku ini pun turut terlibat... cuma RM20.
isinya memang bernas.. bagaimana handak melentur anak2 yang bersikap negatif dan bagaimana mahu mengubah ibu bapa yang negatif.. ideanya banyak memberi panduan kepada ibubapa masakini yang hidup dalam dilema... bagaimana cara mendidik anak dirumah terutama dalam membentuk disiplin diri. hmm.. elok dirumah.. maka eloklah dimana2 pun kan?! ada jugak yang tak mengaku kesalahan diri
aku amik masa lebih kurang 2 minggu jugak la nak habiskan baca buku ni.. banyak halangan, dirumah: anak2 kecilku yg suka nak baca sekali, disekolah: asal ada masa je ada orang minta pertolongan.. hish.. but at last.. habis jugak aku pulun..
semestinya buku ini berguna kepada aku yang dah baca ni...
