Because we still have each other...

What else can I possibly say? Awesome-est. :D

Syawal Menjelma

Sebulan sudah kita berpuasa...
Kini Syawal sudah menjelma...
Mohon maaf dipinta...
Ikhlas dari saya...

It's a wonder how time flies so fast. I've never thought Ramadhan would end so soon. Alhamdulillah, this year, I've managed to fast for a whole month (Heee.. and no, I'm not pregnant ok).

Ramadhan has been great. Family, boyfriend, friends, colleagues. It's been fantabulous. Alhamdulillah. Insyallah, Syawal will be great too.

At the sound of the takbir, the whole house was silent. I cried by myself in the room, reliving the memories when Nenek was around. It definitely feels different. Raya preps toned down alot now that the first house on the first day of Syawal isn't at my place. Yes, the whole family feels at a lost eventhough its been 10 months we've lost Nenek.

Nonetheless, we gave our Al-Fatihah to her as a remembrance alongside the takbir raya.

Once again, to all my fellow relatives, friends, colleagues, if ever I've done any mistakes or offended you in any way, intentional or unintentional, I hope that all my sins and wrongdoings are forgiven.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Minal Aidil Walfaizin

Mc"I'm yours"Donald anyone?

Anyone wants McDonalds for buka puasa?

Maybe I'd do a Pitbull - I know you want me(Calle Ocho) version.

1,2,3,4
Uno, dos, tres, quatro
I want McSpicy (I know you want me)
without the veggie (You know I want 'cha)
I want large fries...
and loads of chilli


The rest is history. LOL!

Ramadhan at its best...

What's Ramadhan without the numerous iftar(s) with friends/family? I've had a couple the past week and all of it was awesome.

Alhamdulillah, my Ramadhan has been colourful with the family, awesome friends and a lovely bf. Heeee.. :D

Nonetheless, I'm not denying that my Hari Raya spirit is rather low compared to previous years. Maybe coz this is the first Raya without grandma? Maybe. Then again, this year's Ramadhan is so fulfilling. One lost, another is gained. I'm so thankful for what has been blessed.

@ Iftar with bf at Yio Chu Kang CC last Tuesday was good. Thank god they loved the cheesecake I made.



Nira Iftar 2009 at Casafina condominium clubhouse last Friday definitely takes the cake for the bestest iftar. I miss the Nira girls so much! It felt good seeing them after a long time. It was a great get-together. And again, they loved my cheesecake too, Alhamdulillah.




I might consider opening a cheesecake business with the other 2 makciks at work. HAHAHA! :)

Iftar at J's Wok & Grill cum Fir's 14th birthday was great too last Saturday. The food was okaayy coz some tasted abit salty. Other than that, it was worth the $20 per person. Bf was there so I had a great time.





And of course, not forgetting Fadhil for being there all the time. The random times I ask you to buka with me outside and iftar with my family on Saturday... :)

Come to think of it, I can't wait for Hari Raya. It's already the 17th of Ramadhan. Just 13 days more...

A different Ramadhan

It has already been a week since the Muslims started fasting. Alhamdulillah, it has been a smooth ride for me so far.

Just that it feels that my Ramadhan feels kinda different.

There isn't nenek around anymore. I teared for awhile hearing the first azan on the first day of Ramadhan. If nenek was still around, she would be sitting beside me on the dinner table. *sobs*

Last Monday, 24th Aug, was her 71st birthday and the whole family decided to have an iftar on the Sunday just to have a small tahlil before breaking fast together. Despite having to lose an elderly, whom we all now, is the gel that holds the family together, Alhamdulillah, the family ties are still strong and we keep up with each other very often.


Enough of the sadness.

Ramadhan is the time where we can see the gazillion types of food at the dinner table almost every night for a month. On the iftar, there were tons of food and the highlight for the day was my Oreo Cheesecake!

I've gotten the hang of making an Oreo Cheesecake and its NO-BAKE! So hassle-free! So whenever I feel like eating cheesecake, I'll make it myself. Heee.. and it's sooo sedaaapp!

SEDAP KAAANN!?!?!?! I might consider starting a business.. heheheehehe

And then it was terawih together with the whole family.... :)



Alhamdulillah, I've had a good week of Ramadhan so far. Expecting it to be better in the weeks to come, Insyallah.

Selamat Menjalani Ibadah Puasa! :D

One helluva time

Ok finally, I'm back with an update. There is so much I wanna tell, I don't know where to start. Ok now let’s begin.. one at a time…


NDP 09

This has got to be the peak of the whole time I was busy. The event was marvellous and the journey throughout was sweet. Everyone had a great time. Making a debut appearance in this year’s NDP, I’m proud to be part of the dikir barat team. Of course I was happy seeing myself on tv. HAHAHAHA!

Looking at the pictures, I can say that the rest is history.. :)



Piala Raja Panggung 2009



This was also a debut appearance for me as an awok in an open category competition. Being together with Wahana Deksu was truly an eye-opening experience to the world of dikir barat and beyond. It was great while it lasted. I’m flattered to be given a chance and for that I thank you, Wahana Deksu, for such an opportunity to be given to a “small fry” like me. I will be taking this experience as a learning ground for my personal upbringing as a person and as an activist in the dikir scene.

My New Job

Yes people. I am employed, for a month already. Alhamdulillah, everything has been going on smoothly. I love my workplace. For all the efforts I put in during the jobhunt, I am truly pleased with my job. Currently, I am a CCPE in a school in Punggol. I am thankful for having such great colleagues which makes me look forward to work everyday.

To a new beginning… *cheers with wine glasses* (macam ye2 mode)

And to my bf, thank you for everything, to date.. :)
