Another year..

Hola! Que tal?

Birthday keeps appearing so fast nowadays, y'all. It seems only few months ago when I celebrated one and tadaaa!! Today marking another year that has passed by. I’m overwhelmed with all the well wishes and prayers coming my way. Be it from family, friends and acquaintances all over the place. Even without presents, I’m overjoyed with their thoughts and the fact that they remember. If anything, I’m sure it’s the reminder on Facebook that does the job, but hey! One will actually have to do some clicking and typing at least, so it’s the effort that counts. Thanks people!
Owh, I know what I’m wishing for my birthday all right. But somehow, if they didn’t materialize or not happening according to my plan or wishes; then, its fine. I’ll work harder for it. But most of all, I’m thankful and feeling much gratitude to Allah swt for this life, health and chance to live another day. I’m not a rocket scientist or famous politician (not yet, anyway! haha) but I hope that by being a daughter, sister, girlfriend, work colleague, friend or mere an acquaintance to you, I do have given some (if not much) impact and made my mark in the life of people that matters to me.

I am far from perfect, though. Weaknesses, quirks and bad habits of mine are countless! Haha. But I’m trying my best. I think, there’s no stopping to strive for betterment and it’s not as if you’re looking to achieve no.1 spot in everything in this life. That will be boring; I mean, if you told yourself that you had arrived. Then what? Why so dead set trying to achieve so-called certain standards in life? Whose standard, anyway? I rather be imperfect and happy knowing that I still have so many things to improve and achieve in my life. Like that famous saying, ‘Change is the only constant thing in life’. Besides, I think being 34 is not so bad, eh?

My biggest birthday present last year turned 1 year old today!! Happy Birthday to Nadine Safiya, my god daughter who shared this special day with me. Mak Chah love you long time, Dutchess!


And this year biggest birthday present?? Of course la when my Brother got married and I got a new sister in law!

Birthday of This Blog

Owh! I missed the 5th birthday of this blog by a month. The first post dated June 16th, 2005. And although for the next 3 years after that, post and entries were sporadic and inconsistent, I knew somehow that I'll always come back to blogspot and pour (some of) my hearts out here. This is such a special place to me, indeed. Of late, I've been actively blogging here and to tell you the truth, visitors are not totally shun out, but don't expect warm welcome either coz I write mainly just for myself. And of course, all opinions and thoughts belong to me and I don't try to make anybody happy here except myself. Anyway, this is MY feel good space and not yours. Scoff!

A New Day

So this is it. The day has finally arrived. It’s my birthday folks! Like I mentioned previously, I usually couldn’t be bothered that much, but today..Well, today is wee bit special because I am getting a god daughter this afternoon. I hope her imminent arrival to this world will mark as beautiful additional to her wonderful family. I hope she will grow up and make her parents and her god mother proud. I wish her all the best and I promise to try and be there whenever she needs me. This is the closest to being an actual mom that I can be. So help me God, I don’t intend to screw this. Yikes!

Happy Brthday Adam Zane

Yesterday I attended the Birthday party for the son of my best friend. His name is Adam Zane Azlan and he turned 2 last Friday (April 10th). The theme was 'Wonder Pets' and his mummy put a cape (ala one of Wonderpets character) on him, so cute. I tried to find toy with Wonderpets characters/pictures but to no avail. However, got him a nice train by Fisher Price. Hope you like it, Adam! Met so many friends at the do. However, I was out of the door by 5 to rush for my flight at Subang Airport and here I am now, at Kota Bharu, Kelantan until this Thursday. On the other hand, my sister in law has been admitted to a hospital here and is schedule to undergo her C- Section tommorow. Weee! Looks like I'm gonna get a new niece/naphew soon!

Here is Adam Zane. A handsome boy and bundle of joys belong to SRR & MAM! Good job Mummy & Daddy! Love you all.

p/s : and thanks for the lovely food. Sorry can't stay long and help clean up.
