Hijrah |
A special thank you to my fellow sisters who helped me with Blogspot. Especially to Zai for her endless support. May Allah bless all of you.
Yes, it's sort of Hijrah for me. What a good way of ending this & start on with a new home on a Thursday..it's end of the week & tomorow is a new beginning.
To fellow brothers & sisters, feel free to visit http://www.norzah.com. It's still undergoing some "renovation".
Thank you so much for the new site, sister. May Allah bless you & your loved ones. I appreciate your sacrifices.
Alhamdulillah......

Thank you & Goodbye |
D,
Recap....
Bapak came over last weekend. As usual, he brought all sorts of ulam. The best was he gave me ulam raja seeds!!!! Hopefully, they will grow succesfully! The boys enjoyed bonding time with Tok. Must make it a point to visit him this year!!!!
Met Tipah for class, finally!!! Was glad to see ustazah rock again!!! I feel so guilty for my shahid moments !!!!! The boys just started bahasa Arab tuition, Alhamdulillah. So it's gonna be a very busy Sunday morning for them. Good, heh!!!!!
Fidel & I went to madewithlove to buy stuff for our project. The holiday photos will be arranged ala scrapbooking style. Scrapbooking is a lot of work & money. So we'll just keep it minimal. Glad to see his creative side again. Few days back, Went to Spotlight with Linda......urgh!!! Scrapbooking items are cheaper than mwl!!!! Ah well....never mind. Perhaps with weekend we'll make a trip to LP at Wheelock Place to browse around. He wants to add some stuff to the the album. Yippee!!!
Thanks, sister. I appreciate yr sacrifice for me. May Allah bless you. It's uplifting to see the new site. Yes, I need the change. I know I'm old...and I wish to grow old gracefully.
Thank you & goodbye Blogspot. It's been good. But I've to move on. No, I'm not leaving the internet, I'm not blogging privately, I'm not choosing who can & cannot see my site. It's never private & confidential. If I choose to be private, I'll go back to my own handwriting in a diary.
So much to do. Yes....I've been complacent. It's my fault but I'm changing for the better...InsyaAllah, Amin.
Shall announce it soon.
Yours truly,
PinkieCutepie.

Just another day.... |
D,
Yesterday's menu was telur ikan tenggiri goreng, jantung pisang masak asam rebus, tempeh goreng & pengat durian. Damn.....so ngantukz since returned from Christchurch. Slept at 2000hrs last two nights. Fidel teased - why? jetlag or u r still in NZ time? heh..8pm here is midnight there....Yerlaa....go on tease me!!! This morning he asked - so r u up to go to NTUC tonight? Me - heh (sengih tak abiz-abiz). He - er, or r u gonna sleep at 8 again? Me - no laa.....we'll go ok?
Yar hor...must kick this habit!!!!! Rumah berserak dgn NZ brochures, new books & magazines. I'm one happy bunny to get hold of Donna Hay. Bought 2 small cookbooks at MPH @ $3.50 each. I don't know when he'll be ready to organize the holiday photo album. I thought of making it like a scrapbook...but so much work laa....One main problem - to look for a good photo album/albums.
While talking to Kiah yesterday, she said she wanted to pass Abdullah's jeans to the boys. They're still new....gosh!! Abdullah, suddenly has grown taller. I realised that Iz is taller than me now!!!!! I couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw our holiday photos...I thought it was just camera trick. Over dinner last night, he told us that he's 1.6m!!!! What?!?.....?!? I couldn't believe my ears!!!! Yeah...there goes my ego!!!!! He gave out a chuckle when he found out my height.....humph!!!!!
Fidel & I agree that Iz is gonna be taller than Fidel anytime soon. And....I admit he's handsome...awwww!!!!!! Cute!!!!! I wouldn't want to agree at first when Fidel's aunts keep mentioning how handsome he is. Heh..I can't avoid anymore laa....dah jatuh saham aku!!!!! Id is quite good looking, too. Especially when he smiles. Han...well.....Han is always Han. I tell you, he'll grow up become a romantic guy. I can just tell. Hin....he's too young to tell. We still consider him BABY.
Mommy & daddy have to make way for the 4 little men.
Today's menu Mee Goreng for dinner. Lunch will be heavy snacking of epok-epok (sadin/telur) kuih kosui, popiah basah, jenekek, kuih lapis from Deli Maslina. I have 3pm appointment for Tahu Goreng!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, my mood for baking is on again. Thanks to Donna Hay. I've been browsing through recipes for Salmon patties. We've tasted the best Salmon patties in Methven @ Arabica Cafe. I didn't have the courage to ask for the recipe from the owner. But I can always rely on AllRecipes.com all the time. or perhaps Martha Stewart.
Since we didn't get to go to Kaikoura for crayfish, Salmon patties in Methven is the best meal for me.

PFFFTT!!!!!!! |
D,
I'm one angry woman coz I still haven't feasted on my lontong kering & tahu goreng!!!!! Neber mind....the consolation is, gua suak masak besao niari!!!! And I bought fresh flowers...so there, I'm not as angry as I thought.
Yeah....I think I wanna go back to the old days - have fresh flowers at home. I remembered arwah mak liked to buy fresh flowers. During my home econs days, I learned flower arrangement. Even bapak was pleasantly surprised & gave me some brochures on flower arrangement. Just now, I complained to Kiah - boring sey, bunga sekarang mahal aah. kalo dulu 1 tangkai orchid 40-60 sen..sekarang $1!!! rose masih ok jugak ah....80 sen. Kiah - dulu tuh tahun braper yg ko beli??? Me - heh, dulu masa tinggal kat Kallang Bahru!!! kekekekee.......Terbahak-bahak Kiah dibuatnyer.
Yes, indeed...fresh flowers brightens one's mood, one's home. Orchids last long, I love golden showers... must buy lots of them & put in the vase.....cantik sekali. This morning, I bought 4 stalks of purple & 4 stalks of white. I also bought a small pot of pokok daun inai & medium pot of pokok daun pudina. It's high time to do a bit of gardening - my daun-daun kering coz no one tends to them. Kene repair my pokok daun kari, daun cekur, daun kunyit, pokok daun limau purut...& the rest. I think it's high time to go to Thomson Rd nursery. A few months ago, I bought 2 plants. They were growing quite well but were stolen.....haiz.....they were just leaves, not flower bearing pun kene kaup!!!!!
I'm praying that my pokok daun inai & daun pudina tak kene kaup pulak........

si Betina |
D,
I picked FiFi last Sunday evening. Heh....I thought I was the happy bunny to see my anak betina, rupan-rupanya, Maggie was even happier. Maggie told me FiFi was aggresive, one very garang betina. She extended her claws so many times that Maggie dared not take her out from our normal cage to the bigger cage. No one could even go near her. FiFi refused to eat. Maggie was getting worried..was about to call me. Then on 3rd day, Maggie realised the food was gone....What a relief! Finally FiFi came purring to Maggie, but Maggie still dared not go near FiFi. Haiz...FiFi, FiFi.
I was cuddling one of Maggie's exotic cats, FiFi was already hissing inside her cage...marah betol si betina tuh!!! Kekekekeeeee....yeah, I like it when FiFi is jealous. And now, FiFi is all comfy. It took a short time for her to remember her home. I love that anak betina of mine & I missed her. I got a feeling that Fidel has a soft spot for her, too.....because he saw a packet of snack meant for cats & dogs, he told me to get one for her. He gave a small chuckle when she refused the snack. But she'll get used to it, I'm sure.
My pc definitely needs some cleaning up. My 4 boys have "cocked it up" again!!!!! Urgh!!!!! I feel like banning them for life! Ah well, you can always replace a machine, but you can't replace your heart & soul, kan? Biarlaa......kalo pc nie jahanam, Insya'Allah jika ada rezeki boleh beli baru......heh, maybe aku ley kecek sang suami for a Sony laptop....kekekeke, in my dreams!!!!! I'd rather dia bawak aku gi holiday!!!!!
Pakai nampak, I can load my photos when I've cleaned up this pc of mine.....tak kosa aku nak buat sendiri...pangil budak handsome tu repairkan suak!!!!!! Aku nie bukannya IT savvy nak gi godeh bender nie.
Last night, si kenit ngidam nak durian. Ish.....apa dah jadi dgn keluarga aku? Baru 2 minggu, bukannya merantau jauh berbulan-bulan, bertahun-tahun!!!!! Pagi nie, die-dia aku nak gi dok makan lontong kering. InsyaAllah petang, carik members makan Tahu Goreng.
Nasi Lemak, sambal tumis telur semalam dah licin! Niari nak masak style Melayu lagik. That day kat Geylang, aku beli jantung pisang.....either nak masak asam rebus or buat urap macam kat buku Asmah Laili. Last night aku "knocked out" abiz....tak sempat makan durian. Fidel dapat durian reject banyak.....hm boleh buat pengat & buat tempoyak sket. Ish....tempoyak with sambal belacan...or pucuk ubi masak lemak pekat with petai, ikan bilis & tempoyak.....tak ley angkat!!!!!!!
Haiz JunG..aku teringatkan ko biler aku masak lauk kampung.......teringat Esah & Atan sedut siput......InsyaAllah, ya JunG!

Rindu Part 2 |
D,
I miss the pc so much. So I'm still hanging on to this pc of mine because the boys aren't allowed to use it for playing on weekdays. JunG sms-ed me in the wee hours while I was sleepless in the campervan a few days ago. Yup...I missed her. Just before that, I was thinking of Pai, too. And then.....I missed my buddies back home.
When I checked my emails yesterday, I was glad to receive a reply from Pai. I enjoy reading her message. Yup...I wish I'm as gutsy as she is. I wish I'm as gutsy as my schoolmates. Look at them now. I really admire them. No, D....I've no regrets about being me. I love myself. I thought that could never happen. I love life. I love the experiences. I'm grateful for the good ones & I'm glad for the bad ones. I wish I'm brave....but truth is, I'm always afraid.
On the way back to SG, I watched several in flight movies. Those movies taught me a few lessons..erm....revision, I guess. Narnia - although cerita itu mungkin menyelewengkan kaum Islam, I learned about love, trust, loyalty, family, courage again. In Madea's Reunion, I learned about forgiveness, honesty, self respect. In Memoirs Of A Geisha, I learned about survival. Yup....My eyes welled up several times, I smiled now & then & giggled quietly.
One thing I know for sure, I won't live a loveless life. I won't let people destroy the love Allah has given me that's meant to be given to others. I shall not build a wall between those who harm & hurt me. Instead, I put Allah in between me & them. As I believe Allah is with me all the time. Allah knows what's best for me & Allah never leaves me in pain & sadness.
I've made the best of what I had & I'm making the best of what I have. I won't let myself down, I won't let precious time slip away.

Rindu.... |
D,
Kiter rindu sekali....rindu tak terkira. Tak sangka.....the last few days in South Island, Fidel said, mesti carik nasi lemak!!!!! Strange....Then, everytime aku lalu KFC, aku nak sangat balik Sin-Cia-Pore!!! Then Han said, "mommy, Han tak sabar nak balik S'pore, nak amek FiFi, nak bawak dia balik, nak peluk dia, nak main dgn dia."
Aiks...?!? Maner gi semangat yg nak nak main sangat dgn snow??? Dah jelak ker?? Ni lah dikatakan - tempat jatuh lagi dikenang, ini kan pula tempat bermanja.
Too tired to hunt for local food on Saturday night. We woke up early on Sunday morning. Zoomed to Geylang. Order sehendak nafsu!!!! Nasi Lemak, Mee Siam Mamak, Rojak Mamak, Nasi Ayam, Laksa, Kuih Jongkong, Teh Tarek, Air Bandung.....macam-macam lagi!!!! Kedarah macam nak rak!!!! Lunch time, beli Slurpee @ 7/11, beli karipap Bai kat kedai kopi...finally, dinner @ KFC!!!!!!!!!
Niari macam nak gi McDonner, nak makan Tahu Goreng Power....maybe esok nak balek port makan Lontong Kering Pinkie's Version....lontong letak kuah jengganan or kuah rawon taruk sambal tumis sotong, sambal belacan, paru, serunding dan macam-macam lagi!!!! Strange combination...but taukeh kedai tuh dah paham idea mustahil aku!!!!
Sebelum otak aku kering dgn pengalaman di South Island, I leave you with this.....pada suatu hari ketika kita tengah makan dlm campervan, aku marah Id for doing something. I said, "adik, jgn buat gitu, tak senonoh!!!!" Han said, "no, mommy..bukan tak senonoh...tak snow-snow..."
Fidel & I just couldn't help giggling......macam nak rak aku tahan ketawa, bahu aku dgn Fidel turun-naik dibuatnyer!!!!!! Si budak muker tempeh tuh buat selenger ajerk!!!!!
Hai anak!...engkaulah lah racun, engkaulah penawar. Sabaw ajer laa mommy.

I'tiraf
Wahai Tuhan
Ku tak layak
Ke SyurgaMu
Namun tak pula
Aku sanggup
Ke NerakaMu
Ampunkan dosaku
Terimalah taubatku
Sesungguhnya
Engkaulah Pengampun
Dosa-dosa besar
Dosa-dosaku
Bagaikan pepasir
Di pantai
Dengan rahmatMu
Ampunkan daku
Oh Tuhanku
Wahai Tuhan
Selamatkan kami ini
Dari segala
Kejahatan & kecelakaan
Kami takut
Kami harap
KepadaMu
Suburkanlah
Cinta kami
Kepada Mu
Kamilah hamba
Yg mengharap
Belas dariMU
Penantian By Harmoni
Berapa lama mesti ku nanti
Sinar cahaya mata mu
Gemerlap bagai bintang
Menghiasi malam
Malam yg menutup diriku
Berapa lama perlu ku tunggu
Lontaran suara dari bibirmu
Memecah hening taman
Taman syurgawi
Pada sebuah hati yg sepi
Penantian suatu siksa
Yg tidak tertanggung
Oleh tubuh ku yg kering & layu
Kepastian suatu penwar
Dlm suka & duka
Yg meniti hidup ku
Doa By Harmoni
Tuhan ku
Dlm termangu
Ku sebut nama Mu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingat Mu penuh seluruh
Tuhan ku
Cahaya Mu
Panas suci bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi
Tuhan ku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhan ku
Pintu Mu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling
Nasyid By Hidayah
Kepada Mu Ilahi
Yg Maha Agung Yg Maha Suci
Ku pohon perlindungan
Dan keampunanMu
Pada setiap sholat
Ku lafazkan doa & pujian
Kukuhkanlah taqwaku & keimanan
Semoga diriku diselamatkan
Dari segala bencana
Limpahilah diriku dgn sinar penuh kemuliaan
Agar tidak digoda syaitan
Yg sungguh durjana peruntuh akhlak
Inilah doa seorang insan
Mohon perlindungan
The Reason
Hoobastank
The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
There are many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
