It's gonna be a big day...

and a huge occasion...

Felt appreciated when Uncle Azmi & Auntie Azmah (Farah's parent) appointed Ray, Megat and Myself to take charge of Fara's brother, Joe's wedding.... Amongst other family members n close friends.. rasa segan pun ada :)

Just hope n pray that everything will run smoothly... Besar hajat tuan umah ni... Maklumlah, anak sulong...

As for Fara, she is as buzzzy a a bee.... Well, someone's got a Sister in Law now... Met her just now, she is as sweet as her name is...

n my warm wishes goes to the newly married couple :

Selamat Pengantin Baru

Surprise!!!! Happy birthday mr Getah...

It was Syuk's birthday... Waty, myself n the whole crony had a little surprise for this special day of his... Started fm FB, we had lotsa plans... Mostly, kitorg berdua la yg jadi 'mak hayam' for this komplot... hahhaaha... with help of others, of coz. The initial plan was supposed to surprise him at his house.. Apparently he is involved with MAHA la plak... Adoyyyy.... Everything was still undecided untill the very day... Capeq, as a housemate plays an important role here...

supposed to be Syuk VP instead of VT...
but it was my bad as i just said it verbally to Sally, instead of texing it...

Whatever it is, first thing's first... Gotta get the cupcake done first... Jenuh stalk his Fb to get a pic... Made the order thru Little Darling... Well, the cuppies are sponsored by Waty... Me just order jer... After collecting the cuppies at Sally's house, headed straight to Balloon Buzz of sec 9 to get the balloons...

So here comes the moment of truth!!! Got the stuff gathered... Cake, balloons n all... Sempat call Ray to get him to divert Syuk's attention... On the other hand, ensure Adam dah siap with his camera ready... xplan pun... sebaik adam alert...

and....


taraaaaa.....



surprise!!!!!

Syuk was startled!!!

n speechless...

Yes! our plan menjadik... Confirm Syuk had no single idea... Kak Nani n Shima siap turun dari BTR with Waty yang from Bangi.. Masing-masing sangat gigih...

Wah! Banyaknya muka ku... Perluker aku makan 'diriku' sendiri.... hhehehhehe....

smiling looking at 'himself' in the box...

Terserlah muka ceria uols... Happy n terkejut...

Terimalah hadiah dariku yang tidak sepertinya ini....

Got him a tshirt... but the best thing is... it comes with minyak n balm gamat.... boleh buat stok untuk saat-saat kecemasan... lol... Everyone burst with laughter seeing the gift...

inilah kawan 'makan kawan'

We then had lotsa chat, pics n makan-makan session... as usual...

the balloons seemed to be quite an attraction

smileeee :D
btw, ni bday Syuk ke b'day Fendy??
lallalaaa....

As for food, I had friend wantan soup... Got then to separate the fried wantan n soup... or else it'll spoil both taste... The wantan will not be crispy anymore and the soup will taste awkward...

Wantan Mee that Shima had... Agak keras when cold...

This Supreme Mee Jawa seemed to be sangat awful.. Looks good but the noodle is soggy and the toufoo is tough...

It was a wonderful nite of celebration n surprises... Just hope all these gives some kinda to Syuk, the b'day boy... Glad it all worked out well... Had so much fun...
Thanks to everyone for playing along :)

it would be greater if more can make it... Neeta, Megat, Lilo, Azim, n seisi keluarga... kami rindooo kamoo semooa la...

Happy Birthday Syuk Rahman @ VP @ Getah!!!
thank for being a wonderful friend...
semoga panjang umo, murah rezeki...
n cepat dapat ehem ehemmmm....
larikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Gump-ing with Maizan at Bubba Gump

Maizan got me to accompany her to a wedding reception at Damansara Height. After attending the event, we made our way to Curve... Since we already together, took the chance to 'date' thus get some stuff from ikea. It's like killing 3 to 4 birds with 1 stone... lol

We settled at Bubba Gump for dinner.. This is Maizan's 1st attempt at Bubba Gump... As for me, i hardly dine here tho...

Had Old Fashioned New England Clam Chowder for starter... It came in 2 sizes - RM 9.90 for cup n RM 13.90 for bowl... Since we were sharing, we decided to take bowl... It was pretty creamy... Contains chunk of potatoes, onion n clams... The clams were rather plenty...


Since Maizan is a squid lover, she had Calamari Ring (RM 17.90)... I expected it to be the huge type of Calamari, as in the one which is bigger than 50 cent coins... But it turned up to be a normal sotong punye size... The batter was crispy tho and dip was good...

I had Hush Pups (RM 19.90]... According to the menu description, it is tasty (self proclaimed) shrimp n fish with golden corn (plus some rice), deep fried and served with a Remoulade Dipping sauce... There were total of 8... I was rather full, n took away few... It is better to be taken whilst it still hot... If dah sejuk, it is ala-ala cekodok jagung... Hahahha... what a comparison...

Nevertheless, I love the presentation... It is served in some kinda bucket... Surrounded by Bubba Gump's unique 'newspaper'... Pretty cool...

Just had 3 dishes... That consists of 1 soup n 2 starters... We were still full as just got back from reception...

I just had a bit of the rice n lauk pauk... Apparently, what filled me was ICE-CREAM!!!!!! It's a new thingy to have an ice cream perlour (betul ke my term ni?) in the hall... Normally, people will have cupped ice cream for events... As for this, they brought the whole machine skali...


It's a kind of Ikea n McD's ice cream... Comes in 3 flavor - Vanilla, Chocolate or both... Sangat soft n smooth.... I really like it....

Managed to get the call card... Should there be any events, can get them to cater the ice creams... The rate are reasonable, tho...

Wafi - soft ice cream...

Maizan dearie,
thx for dinner and everything u gave me...
i had good tyme...
looking forward for another date...
love u heaps....
mwahhhsx :)

"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...

with the new Alumni of the family


guyz of Angkatan 53

during family meeting

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!!!
