His 22nd Birthday update and happy new year!!

Hey all....
It's 01.01.10..HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.. Let us pray so that this year will be a better year for all of us in any aspect.. And here I am updating my bog after being silent for quite long. This post is actually an update during Jep's 22nd birthday and last night new year celebration.

So, let me first starts by with the birthday celebration.. Since last year we had celebrated with friends so this year Jep wanted to have a simple dinner with his family..So I did the reservation at Penang Village Restaurant, Great Eastern Mall.. We agreed to meet at the restaurant at 8pm on Monday (28/12/2009)..His birthday is actually on the 29/12 but he wanted to do it on hid birthday eve..So I said ok.. Right after my class that day at around 5pm I rushed to KLCC to get his presents and then off to Baker's Cottage to get his birthday cake..Everything went smoothly and the traffic was not as bad as I expected..So I managed to be at the restaurant before he arrived with his family..So, technically he didn't know about the cake.. I bought him a Carolina Harrera 212 perfume, a pair of shoes and also a photo frame with our picture in it..I hope he loves it..We had a great dinner and chit chatting about almost everything with his family...Stayed at the restaurant for about 2 hours and I managed to make the surprise...So, YEAYYYYYY!!!


The presents..

Me and him

And...for last night..My family and I had some makan-makan in conjunction with new year celebration..Jep and my cool roomies were there too..After the countdown, we played UNO till dawn..Thanx to Jep and my roomies because they help me cleaning up..
And now..I have to start study since I'm going to have 2 quizzes next week..Argghh!!!!

The first week of my last semester (Insya-Allah)

Hi all!!

After four years devoting myself to my uni..I finally came to my last semester (Insya-Allah)..
The feeling is mixed up.I'm excited about it to the matter of fact that I'm at the end of my journey for my starting point.But at the same time, I'm too afraid to face the reality.What's gonna happen to me?Am I gonna be able to get myself a good job.Well that's what my parents always hope for and I never really want to disappoint them.

Speaking of my last semester,my first week in school (I would say) has not much difference from the previous semesters.As usual, I didn't turn to class during the first day as there will not be much taught i that day.I laze around the kuliyyah and accompany my roomie to do the add/drop manually.Other than that,I spend most of my time with Jep and within this particular week, I watched 3 movies : Ninja Assassin, Love Happens and the last movie I watched is The Twilight Saga :New Moon which I just watched it last Saturday with two of my cousin sisters at Pavilion.

I had only 4 days class on this week since Friday is a public holiday for Selangor. So particularly, on Friday I just killed my time at my aunt's place baby-sitting the naughty little Haris and Batrisyia.And on that day, I had an argument with Jep that last until yesterday and we managed to berbaik last night after about an hour session of tak puas hati. He made me cookies and I was so touched by that. We both said sorry to each other. But frankly speaking, sometimes I feel like guys need to be at least a little bit sensitive to cope with girls.. sigh..

Ohhhh....I have some cerite best to share with you..
Last Sunday, I went back to Jelebu for my cousin's wedding.I'm the maid of honour..hehe.. Many turned up (I mean close relatives) and I got to meet my 2-3-4 pupu (second-third and even my fourth cousin)..How interesting.. theeheeee :D
Me and my parents with the bride and groom

and that's me.. :)

That is not the cerite best that I want to highlight. The cerite best is that Abah scolded the kakak in my mahallah (hostel) office for being too straight.

Here's how it started..

Scene 1
I went out from my house at around 8.45 am heading to UIA for my mahallah registration because I need to get my room keys. I came back to KL the nite after Tak Yin's majlis khatam Al-Quran just because of this.As I arrived there, the kakak told me to print my confirmation slip. Thats all. She said "CONFIRMATION SLIP".So, I went to Melati and printed the "CONFIRMATION SLIP".

Scene 2
After having breakfast at D'mamak Corner, my parents and I headed to UIA immediately.My watch showed 9.20.We have to be in Jelebu at 11am for the akad nikah ceremony.As we arrived at the mahallah office, that kakak told me that the confirmation slip that I've printed was not the one she wanted. She said it suppose to be the "mahallah confirmation slip".The thing is that, Why can't just she told me earlier?Why did she only said"confirmation slip" in the first place?

May be it was my fault that I didn't read the notice.I explained to her that I'm in rush to go back to kampung for my cousin's wedding and was asking for her courtesy to help me to print my slip at the office.She refused. Then, I was so bengang and I told my dad. My dad came into the ffice and scolded that kakak.But yet, it didn't change anything. She's still with her stubbornness.

Then, I realized that human sometimes didn't tolerate. Wait until her time comes, then she'll know.That's what my parents told me. And at around 11.15 we arrived Jelebu.Safe and sound. The akad nikah ceremony just about to begin. The majlis went smoothly and on my way back to KL I got scolded because I left the pulut and rendang that my Tok Cik gave us to bring back to KL.Careless me... :(

Well...that's what happened during the first day of my semester. Many things.. That added more color to my life I guess..

And to my cousin (Tak Yin), congratulations on your BIG DAY and may you live happily ever after..Aminn..

Till then..

Natrah

Watching the theater Natrah has caught my interest to know deeper about the Dutch girl named Natrah. Well, here are some information that I got from my readings from many blogs and other sources like newspaper.




PEMERGIAN Bertha Hertogh, atau nama Islamnya, Natrah, 72, pada 9 Julai lalu, disifatkan bekas penulis dan penyelidik untuk majalah Dewan Masyarakat, Datin Fatini Yaacob, 50, sebagai satu pengakhiran kepada penderitaan wanita malang itu.

Fatini pernah menjejak Natrah sehingga ke Belanda dan Amerika Syarikat (AS) kira-kira 20 tahun lalu untuk merungkai kisah pencetus Rusuhan Natrah yang berlaku di Singapura pada 1950 itu.

Natrah, yang dilahirkan pada 24 Mac 1937, menjadi rebutan antara ibu angkatnya, Che Aminah Mohamad, dengan keluarga kandungnya yang berasal dari Belanda.

Sebelum itu, Natrah ditinggalkan ibunya, Adeline Hunter, di bawah jagaan Che Aminah ketika berumur lima tahun di Jawa setelah bapanya, Sarjan Adrianus Petrus Hertogh, ditawan tentera Jepun. Sepanjang berada di bawah jagaan Che Aminah, Natrah dididik dengan agama Islam dan adat Melayu.

Setelah berpindah ke Singapura, Hertogh menuntut Natrah dikembalikan kepadanya.


TINGGAL KENANGAN. (Dari kiri): Peguam Ahmad Ibrahim, Natrah, Che Aminah, suaminya, Mansor Adabi dan bapa angkat Mansor, M.A Majid.


Pada mulanya Che Aminah memenangi hak penjagaan ke atas Natrah. Namun tindakannya menjodohkan Natrah dengan Mansor Adabi, seorang guru berusia 22 tahun, mengeruhkan keadaan kerana Natrah baru berumur 13 tahun.

Undang-undang Belanda menetapkan remaja di bawah 16 tahun tidak boleh dinikahkan dan pernikahan itu berlangsung di Singapura yang mengamalkan undang-undang British.

Akhirnya, pernikahan itu dibatalkan dan Natrah dibawa pulang ke Belanda. Ketika di Belanda, Natrah dimurtadkan, sekali gus mencetus kemarahan warga Singapura dan Tanah Melayu. Akibatnya, sebanyak 18 nyawa diragut dan 200 lagi tercedera berikutan Rusuhan Natrah yang berlaku pada 12 Disember 1950.

Khamis lalu, Natrah dilaporkan meninggal dunia di Huijbergen, Belanda selepas lama menderita penyakit leukemia.

"Mengikut kajian dan pemerhatian saya sehingga hari dia meninggal dunia, Natrah tidak pernah mahu melupakan bekas suaminya, arwah Mansor Adabi, ibu angkatnya, Che Aminah Mohamed, keluarga angkatnya yang kini berada di Kemaman, Terengganu, dan kehidupannya di Singapura," kata Fatini yang kini merupakan Karyawan Tamu di Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).


SETELAH gagal menjejak Natrah di Belanda, Fatini (kanan) pergi ke AS dan bertemu Natrah di sana pada tahun 1989.


Malah, ujar beliau, hidup Natrah sejak dibawa ke Belanda yang dipenuhi dengan paksaan menyebabkan trauma yang berpanjangan.

"Hidupnya ketika itu dikelilingi polis setiap masa. Dia juga dipaksa untuk melakukan banyak perkara di luar keinginannya termasuklah melupakan Mansor, Che Aminah, keluarga angkat dan segala amalan yang berkaitan dengan Islam.








NATRAH meninggal dunia di Belanda pada usia 72 tahun, Khamis lalu.


"Sedangkan semasa di bawah jagaan Che Aminah, hubungan Natrah dengan ibu angkatnya itu cukup mesra dan penuh kasih sayang.

"Perkara ini diakui seorang pegawai Inggeris yang ditugaskan untuk menjaga Natrah ketika diletakkan di Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat di Singapura, Tom Eames Hughes, yang kemudiannya menulis kisah itu dalam bukunya bertajuk Tangled Worlds: The Story of Maria Hertogh (1980)," kongsinya.

Natrah cuba bunuh suami

Menjelaskan kenyataan itu dengan merujuk rentetan kejadian cubaan Natrah membunuh suami kedua sehingga mengakibatkan perceraian, cubaan membunuh diri dan kekerapan ibu kepada 10 orang anak itu dimasukkan ke wad sakit jiwa, Fatini menambah, ia turut dilihat dengan jelas olehnya ketika menemu ramah Natrah di AS pada tahun 1989.

"Setiap kali menyebut nama Mansor Adabi, air matanya bergenang. Malah, bahasa tubuhnya juga berubah. Padahal waktu itu dia sudah berumur 52 tahun.

"Semasa temu ramah pula dia berbahasa Inggeris sepanjang masa. Tetapi ada juga dia tersasul menyebut 'cabai kerawit'. Jadi sebenarnya dia masih ingat bahasa Melayu," kenang Fatini yang turut mengingatkan bahawa teman lelaki terakhir Natrah ialah seorang warga Indonesia.

Menggambarkan perwatakan Natrah sebagai seorang yang lemah lembut, Fatini bagaimanapun mengakui sukar untuk sesiapa pun membaca kesengsaraan itu pada wajahnya.

"Dia bijak menyembunyikan perasaannya. Malah hubungannya dengan anak-anak amat baik," katanya.

Ketika berita Natrah meninggal dunia sampai kepadanya, Fatini masih dalam proses melengkapkan buku biografi wanita malang itu.

"Kematian Natrah menimbulkan rasa terkilan dalam diri saya kerana banyak lagi yang saya ingin lakukan untuknya.

"Selain melengkapkan biografi ini, saya berharap benar agar dapat membantu Natrah mengubah persepsinya terhadap banyak perkara.

"Kalaulah Natrah tahu arwah Mansor hanya berhenti berusaha mendapatkannya semula setelah menerima surat yang kononnya dikirimkan Natrah. Dalam surat itu, Natrah memberitahu Mansor tentang dia sudah memeluk agama Katolik dan meminta Mansor melupakannya...

"Kalaulah Natrah tahu ada seorang lelaki bernama JC Vermeulen yang selama ini berusaha untuk menghubungkannya semula dengan Mansor melalui surat-surat yang dihantar 'mereka'...

"Natrah juga berasa bertanggungjawab ke atas kematian yang berlaku dalam rusuhan itu sehingga menyangka ada orang mahu membunuhnya selama ini," ujar anak kelahiran Perlis ini.

Menyentuh tentang rusuhan yang berlaku, Fatini berpendapat ia berpunca daripada tindakan media tempatan Singapura yang bertindak melanggar sensitiviti agama Islam.

"Ia berpunca daripada provokasi media tempatan Singapura yang berkali-kali memaparkan gambar Natrah berlutut di depan patung Virgin Mary. Perkara itu menyentuh sensitiviti agama," luahnya.

When Holiday Comes to an End..

Boo!!
I know it has been ages since I last updated my blog.During the 2weeks inter-sem holiday,where I am suppose to update this blog more often, I didn't.Well, frankly speaking, it was not because I was too busy doing whatever I have planned to do like what I posted on the last post , but because it seems that MY LAZINESS is at the peak.

So,let's start one by one. During my holiday I have nothing interesting to share I suppose. What I've been doing to kill my time is that i spend hours watching tv, twitter, facebooking, shop a little, eat a lot,sleep a lot and look after my niece and nephew.I didn't even spend much time with Jep and my friends.And OH!!!!I spent 2 nites at my aunt's place to accompany her because she's alone for a week.

Last nite,I went to Istana Budaya to watch a theater entitled Natrah. It is directed by Erma Fatima and acted by Sofea Jane, Maya Karin, Umie Aida and Remy Ishak.It was awesome and a must watch I would say. Thanks to my cousin brother (Abg Shah) and his wife (Kak Jaja) for giving me the free tickets. Went there with Girl and Shaza.



Other than that...N.O.T.H.IN.G..

OHH!!!Results out!! I'm happy with it though it is not to my expectation.Alhamdulillah I did OKin both subjects that I'm really scare of.And most importantly, I passed.

In 2 more days,my cousin will get married..The reception will be in Jelebu and my family and I will be going back to Jelebu this Saturday.On Sunday, I have to register back to UIA..What a tiring day for me!!! :((

But, when it comes to wedding, I always excited..What more when I'm going to be the maid of honor for that day...Me likey so much.. :) I'm always happy to look brides and how they gonna be dressed up to be the princess for the day..I always like to see them in their wedding gowns and smiling throughout the majlis. A woman would always look pweetty on their wedding days.Thats what I always believe..

cantik kan?

So,that's basically what I did during my 2 weeks holidays. Luckily it's only 2 weeks..If not I think I'm goona be found dead because of bore-dome-ness..I miss the freedom I always had in campus..I miss him..I miss my friends..

I think that would be all for now..

I miss him



It's 3.21 am and I'm still fresh and not feeling sleepy at all. Perhaps because I'm done with my exams and I feel really relief and the best part is that it's not because I took caffeine or anything.Its really because I really can't close my eyes and sleep.I miss him I guess.He got 4 more exams to go.And I'm here just to pray for his success..Amin..

Well....Back to 5 years ago..I could see him growing up tremendously..I see a HUGE different on him..But..the feeling is just the same..I still have butterfly in my stomach every time I wanted to meet him..And now, the reason I'm writing this post is because I MISS HIM..I really am missing him..So, this post is dedicated to him and I hope he will be reading this anytime soon..If you are, I want you to know how much I appreciate you for being there when I need you the most, for understanding me and the most important thing is for your patience towards my attitude..I sometimes was acting extra emotioal or being too childish..I know that and I'm sorry for that..

I can't wait to pursue my dreams with him..We've planned so many things together...And I really hope that those dreams will come true.. (INSYA-ALLAH)..Throughout this 5 years, we have shared so many things..Tears and laughter..And not to mention "crazi-ness" and silly arguments on silly things..And they are all still fresh in my memories.. Those are sweet spices in our relationship..I sometimes try to ensure myself that I really am with him for 5 years down the rain..He is the first guy that can drive me crazy and do stupid things with..He also made me feel really comfort with him that I can just be myself whenever I'm with him..I don't have to put my make up on when I'm with him..And I don't have to dress up whenever I'm with him..I can laugh out loud whenever I'm with him..And he's the reason I believe in destiny..

So...appreciate whatever you have with you and always be honest for who ever you love..That's when the blissfulness and the glitter of the relationship will come..

TOODLES..

REARRANGING WARDROBE


It's Saturday!!!!!
well HELLO!!!!no exam today...so am expecting myself to study my Decision Making and Control during the whole weekend..Well...Technically not the whole weekend la...Coz tomorrow I'm going to Sha's school concert..And today I woke up quite early today not because I wanted to but because mama woke me up..Went out for breakfast with mama and abah and just before that teman-ning abah to pick his new sport rim to fit his new Nissan Murano..Mama and me agak boring tapi layan je la...hehehe...

Right after that we headed over Ampang Point Euro Moda to get the textile for Tak Yin's (my cousin) wedding...I'm gonna be the bride's maid on that day and the bride-to be asked me to find something creamy for my baju..So me and mama managed to find the textile..Right after that, we went straight away to our tailor in Setiawangsa and she said that she can only get it ready by the 4th of December..And the wedding will be on the 6th December...Hopefully it can be ready on time..

So after the tailor I had lunch with my parents..After that mama went to the salon near my place to dye her hair..I took that opportunity to tidy up my room and rearrange my closet since I can hardly remember when was the last time for me to do that chores..(Does it sound sooo malas for anak dara like me??)I always use the excuse "busy" to my mama...But since she always tegur me by saying "kemas laaa...dah macam kandang kucing dah.."
So,i did the rearrangement...And now i'm done and i'M SOO HAPPY...hehehe...
YAY!!!
Now boleh start to study..

(up to botom:my scraves are in order as well as my closet) yay!!!!

Johnson & Johnson's Products

hey..hey..hey..
Today is Friday..Now it's Saturday actually..
It's middle of the night..1.34 a.m to be exact as shown at my Apple MacBook's screen...
Just got back from uni tadi..Then, I had dinner with mama and abah at Arafath..The nearest mamak from my place..I had roti telur garing and teh o limau suam..But the kakak was sooooo bijak pandai that she gave me teh o limau panas menggelegak (boiling water)... geram giler.. Tapi minum je la because my table was directly under the ceiling fan of that mamak..So cepatla air tu jadi sejuk..
As i turned home, Jep asked me to do nasi goreng for him..
So, I told him that i need to take my shower first...
So, he agreed..Habis je mandi masak nasi and then buat la nasi goreng for him..
This is my first attampt to cook fried rice for him..Glad that he likes it.. Tapi tak tau la if die tipu ke saje-saje nak make me feel better kan?Then, I had conversation with Aunty Idah (Jep's mama)..

Aunty: lama tak jumpe and borak dengan Puteri
Me:busy la aunty...with finals..
And the conversation goes on and on...

Anywaysss....

As usual..I am zombie at night..I couldn't sleep..I wanted to study at first because my last paper will be on this coming Tuesday which is DMC..So, i was so bersemangat sitting on the chair at my so called study table..
Not knowing what to do, I switched on my lappie and start surfing the internet..
Looking at my dressing table I saw bottles of few Johnson & Johnson's products..
Thinking of it...i remember that those products that I have been using, I have been using it since I was little..Mama is very particular about hygiene and cleanliness and also skin texture.. So, she used to force me to use lotion since I was little.. So sampai la sekarang... 4 things that I must always have are :

1)Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion (pink)
2)Johnson & Johnson's baby soft lotion-calming (purple)
3)Johnson & Johnson's baby cologne-summer swing (green)
4)Johnson & Johnson's baby bedtime powder (purple)

There are actually many more baby products that can be used for adults..But these four are my favorites..U should try it too.. :)
