"bergambar sambil pegang kuenya"

I shall call this entry as : Wonders of Cupcake...

Sometimes, little thing can give a tremendously great impact.. Well, it's just a box of cake jer... nothing much tho...

Despite the long n hectic that i had, my beloved cuzzie, Suraya's birthday falls on one of the days that ESQ was held on (ESQ lagi, sorry guys... x help it la)... She was pretty skeptical on attending it on the 3rd day... If x dtg, rosakla plan aku... Siap plan B with another cousin lagi :D

Whatever it is, i proceeded with my plan of ordering her a box of cuppies... via Little Darling Cupcakes la, where else?... i wanted yang ada edible image... but it was a last minute thingy... thank goodness Sally n her supplier accepted my order... n we were crossing my finger, hoping that the cuppies with her face on, sempat siap... Gigih stalk her FB profile pic, to get a nice pic... hehhehe... n straight away emailed it to Sally...

Thx Sally... U saved my day...

That was one thing... Another thing was, how m i to store it as the training only ends after 7 n the cuppies needs proper storage... Thank goodness the staff of SACC Convec were co-operative enuff to store it for us.. siap letak dlm chiller lagikkk... thx u so much...

so Cik SUR, tahulah nko sesungguhnya proses penyerahan b'day kek itew, bukanlah mudah... Tapi hasilnya berbaloi2.... It gave smiles... N more...

What made it sweet was when the cupcakes were distributed not only among our family members... but also to the trainers... Pak Andy, Pak Aminul, Pak Ariff, Dato' Razif (Director, ESQ M'sia), Datin Zaleha (one of the most remarkable Alumni)...

Ya Ampun!! Macam x caya je, they had my cupcakes... I felt so glad n honored... i was oredy away then, guess dah sampai HKL rite to Seremban kot... If i was around, i would cherish that magical moment...

see... everyone is holding the cuppies... bak kata mereka "bergambar sambil pegang kuenya..." (kue refers to Cake in Indonesian)

with my 2 favorite trainer, Pak Aminul Rachman (2nd left) and Pak Andi Mohd Fajar (2nd right)... Immediate left is Pak Arif and immediate right is my beloved uncle, DZB... ye... inilah gambo yang membuatkan lisanku tidak terkata apa-apa... hampir shj aku menjerit di Ijan Burger, Seromban...

"saya pon ambil yang ada gambar ibunya lah..."

Something sweet that happened here was... as Pak Aminul had a piece, he somehow amazed by the edible image on it. Coincidentally, his son will be celebrating his 10th birthday, the following day... Coincidentally (lagi), one of my cousin whom attended the training is capable of producing such cake... (but sorry me jarang order from her due to our distance)

Maka, terjadilah satu transaksi antara Pak Aminul n my cousin... He ordered the whole cake for his son, Abiyan.. Whom had undergone circumcision (berkhatan) on his birthday...


So there we are... sending the specially ordered cake... gigih sangat... Apparently, Pak Aminul wasn't in... We handed it over straight to Abyan yang sangat chumellss... Well, like father, like son, kan... lols...

note :

some may wonder, what's the excitement about all this trainers n all... well, they may not be some high profiled figure or celebrities... but as for us, they are the people whom we highly respect and thankful for the wonderful experience that we undergo... n more... that words could not express but thank to ALLAH, the Almighty...


As for Suraya :
I hope u had one of the best birthday, ever...
Thank for being sucha wonderful cousin... mwahhhsx....

Recharge... Reunite... Rejoice...

It's been such a longggg... yet wonderful weekend... I had good time eventhough i was pretty exhausted... It all happened when 7 of my family members attended ESQ training, recently... Includes Mum n my lil bro... ESQ is as if Family Gathering lak... :)

One good thing about ESQ training is when there is any session, the alumni are welcomed to join along (provided it is of the same level)... It's called RECHARGE for alumni... Quoted from Datin Zaleha, one the most remarkable alumni "bayar sekali tapi boleh recharge banyak kali"... As a matter of fact, we human tends to forget, or taken away after sometimes the training ends... Therefore we need to 'recharge'... At times, our mind are juz like batteries gak... lol

FRIDAY

Since most of my family members were at SACC Convec, my heart longed to be at there badlyyyy... Apparently I can't take leave on that particular Friday... Lotsa events going on n lotsa report to be done... errghhhh.... So i made my way 2 SACC during lunch tyme... dapatlah recharge for around 20 minutes or so... with my favorite trainer, Pak Andi...

Since lunch for alumni were not provided, we made our way to SACC Mall... Asiari precisely... Elly, Aya, Eila n myself... It's an all girl's affair... Sampai ada org merajuxxx... ops! off record..

Well, once in a while, hanging out with cousins are simple so funnn... n cool.... well, we grew up together knn.... n we're pretty close tho... the ties that we have are simply amazing... annual gathering, family book, family song, blog, monthly meeting, etc... ko ada??? well, didn't mean to brag la... but m juz being proud of my beloved Keluarga Al-Bajuri :)

SATURDAY

Thank goodness it was an off Saturday for me, so i can spend some time recharging... Headed straight to Banting for a family meeting after lunch... then we rushed back to SACC back... hhaahaa.... Aya n me treated Banting - Shah Alam just like Subang Jaya - Shah Alam jer... Gigih...

SUNDAY

It's Aya's birthday n another crayzee day of mine... Went to SACC for final day recharge... N handed over a box of cuppies for her birthday...

Had another session of lunch at ASIARI.. But this tyme, it's more than juz 4 of us...

Hubs couldn't make it to SACC eventhough he wanted to join, badly... Apparently, he didn't sleep the whole night taking care of his dad... He then fetched me after lunch and we headed straight to IPR of HKL to visit Abah...

After HKL, we headed straight to Stadium Paroi for Rumah Si Kecil's Graduation... Almost didn't make it as i told Ray about it the night before... But things were ok and we managed to make it on time... As we got there, Waty, Syuk, Neeta n Erna dah sampai... Duduk front row lagi....

Took some berangan pics with Mortar Board yang tak muat kepala bak kata Kak Nanie... Sempat amek scroll lagi buat prop... Waiting patiently for the pics from Megat... lallalala...

Since we're alredy in Seromban, tak sahlah idupku kalu x ke Ijan Burger... We terus headed to Rest. Syed Maju and ordered lots n lotsa burger.... En. Ijan's daughter pun one of the graduan of RSK... Apparently Mrs Ijan didn't make it as she was bussy taking care of the stalll... Inilah contoh usahawan yang berjaya...

indahnya burger ini...
moist, soft, tasty...

While i was enjoying my luscious burger, got a call that really made me jealous... yet made me

smile :) Sebaik x jerit dekat ijan burger 2...

MONDAY

Since it was a pretty tiring weekend, I planned to have a rest on Monday... Apparently Aya called during lunch saying that we need to head to Damansara to for a cake delivery to one of the trainer... Ko nk ikut x? Gila aku xnak... Harus lerrr nakkk....

It was a luxuriously beautiful residence... Really amazed... We sent cake over and headed straight to my cuz's place at Ritze Perdana... We had Domino's and sempat la berjimba-jimba gaks, for a while...

The condo is as cute as the tenant...
thanx Muna :)

All in all, i had a really good time with family and friends... Thanks a to everyone that i spend time with during these 4 days... Came to work smiling as i am happy knowing that i'm surrounded by wonderful family n friends...

i do rejoice for everything i am blessed with :)

Alhamdulillah... thank you ALLAH!!!

the beautiful Lake... of Pendang...

Tasik Pendang, Kedah is such a beautiful lake... wide... peaceful... and mesmerizing... I can never put in words the beautiful feeling that i felt inside... standing by the lake....

during sunset...

and,

after dawn...

the breeze... the calmness of water... the beauty of the lake... is good enough to give me goosebumps... adoring everything... especially the chance of being there...


Thank you Allah...

ps: how i wish i have a better camera 2 capture all these... or at least, be with someone who does... lol... nevertheless, i'm thankful of what i have :)

Paddy Field at Sunset

Seeing the green spread of paddy field - at the time it was approaching sunset made me feel more than just a beautiful scenery... Being there, made realize that rahmat Allah sememangnya indah... Thus, recalls a line of Snada's Demi Matahari :

"Demi langit berserta seluruh binaannya...
Demi bumi serta yang ada di hamparannya..."

Sawah padi adalah salah satu dari hamparan bumi...
Matahari yang yang indah adalah salah satu dari binaan langit...

Having both at the same time is a miracle...

Allah... Subhanallah...


grateful for DFC's Lebaran Desa for giving me sucha wonderful experience...

PAGI!!!!!

Actually been wanting to post dis for sometimes... But due 2 the chaos, controversial issue and time factor... i had second... third n got fickled about it... but the urge or sharing is strong and decided to share... not that i'm gonna say much about the training nor the moduls whatsoever... just to share some pics while we were there jer...

Got this offer from Koperasi Serbaguna Anak-anak Selangor (KOSAS) for it's members and spouses. Since i've been wanting to go for ages, I grabbed it... Furthurmore was offered a really good fee that is way too far from the published rate.. My luck i guess..

What made this training special was.. besides attending it with darlink hubby, it was also attended by several of my beloved cousins... Aya & bro, Eila, K Hanim & Agus... Plus some other relatives and aunts... There were only around 80 person of the whole training.... Fyi, it was a in house training.. So dat's y it's limited...

Sesi fotografi bersama Trainer kami, Bapak Andi Mohamad Fajar...
Dia adalah superbbbbb...


hey there.. this is Mr. Zero...
dia adalah macam icon/maskot ESQ...
which signify that u have 2 free yr mind with zero -ve thinking while attending this course...

Cobaaaan...

Kebetulan pada hari pertama training kami, kecoh satu Malaya mengatakan tentang ESQ... Ini semua berikutan kenyataan Mufti WP... Haram la, memesongkan akidah la, n whatsoever.. But despite the chaos, Alhamdulillah the training went well... In fact kami dapat banyak sangat benefits melaluinya...

Sesi temuramah DZB berikutan isu ESQ...

Ini pula merupakan sesi ketika bermain games... Actually xleh amek pic, tapi saya dan K Hanim agak tegar... At first ingat boleh amek still foto, bila dah kena tegur, so simpan terus la camera... Kena patuh pd peraturan kan...

Cuzzies

thank for 'sharing'...

Salam semut Bersama Bapak Andi


sebelum kita berpisah...
with Trainer, Bapak Andi & our fam. members

My 2 idols :)

Upon completion...
We're now officially Alumni...
Alhamdulillah....

All in all, ESQ merupakan sesuatu yang sangat indah... Kesannya sangat mendalam... Syukur dapat pergi... M so glad dapat pergi dengan hubby and sebahagian warga AB. Bila balik, rasanya sangat lain... We kinda see thing in a different kind of perspective... Terpulang lah apa orang nak kata about it, but 2 us, it gave a tremendous impact... Insyaallah...

~Thank you ALLAH~

note :
PAGI!!! is a term that is being used all day long... Despite the time of day, we use PAGI to signify the morning spirit yang always fresh and alert...

It's been 4 years

22nd July 2010 marks 4 years since Abah left us in 2006...

Time flies fast... Only Allah knows how much i misses him and how i envy seeing people with dads (i know m not 2 feel dat way)...

But i try 2 see things from a different perspective... Everytime I misses him, I owez remember what my ESQ trainer, Bapak Andi Mohamad Fajar said about it... It will then make me stronger & lebih redha...

Sesungguhnya semua adalah dari ALLAH... Semoga ALLAH mencucuri rahmat ke atas roh Abah & ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman...

Al-Fatihah...


note :

My condolence to a dear friend of mine, Ray Eusouff for lost of his brother in law... Apparently it's only a few days away from the date my dad went away.. different year of course... hope your sis hang in there and stay strong...

Dinner after ESQ

Despite all the chaos and the hot issues, we're undergoing an ESQ session now... Coincidentally during the day we attended, the news came out front page... Not gonna say much about it... Far from being 'drifted apart', alhamdulillah, i felt that i 'see' more things i never did before... It may not be apparent... But i felt it inside....

The session is held at Tabung Haji, Kelana Jaya... Before going home, we decided to have dinner first... Wanted to go FAM, apparently it was closed... Near Giant pun, nothing interesting... Then we pusing-pusing and saw Restaurant Jaya at SS5, Kelana Jaya - near 7 eleven...

The concept is kinda similar to FAM, hawker's stall plus tomyam and stuff... Amongst the stalls, i was attracted to the Char Kway Teow and Tauhu Bakar... Definitely we ordered those....

Besides tauhu bakar, they also have rojak buah, sotong kangkung and kerang rebus. The sotong kangkung and rojak buah looks good tho...

Guess this is one of the best Tauhu Bakar i've ever tasted...
Crispy outside and the filling is like banyak & yummy...
Only RM2.50..

As i'm not the kinda person yang fancy soggy char kway teow, this is really good...
The kerang is aplenty plus large prawns...

The satay is not bad either...

Insya, will check this place out again 2morow and gonna try the sotong kangkung and somehing western... Chicken chop probably....

Additional info : the orange juice is not bad either... Not too caer...
