Zoo Negara

Lepas pertunjukan gajah.

Amiir dan Zulfa pulun nasi lemak - bawak dari rumah. Pedas tu..

Faiz tgh pegang parrot macau - nama dia Pearl. Ifah tgh dukung Zulfa.

Malas nak berjalan la tu...

Zulfa konfiden main slide semenjak dibiar main sendiri di McDonalds Bangi.

Mama and Zulfa pergi kenduri kawin

Panas betul hari tu..balik tu, Zulfa terus demam. Kesian dia. Dia suka pergi kenduri sebab dpt tengok tarian zapin kanak-kanak (abg apin, anak jiran sebelah rumah masuk). Siap senget-senget lagi Zulfa cuba nak mengikut diorang menari. Del pulak tgh pregnant 5 bulan. Tak lama lagi Zulfa nak ada adik.



Zulfa pakai baju poney - beli pakai kupon dan waktu sale - ok tak?

Kek Sarawak

Inilah dia kek-kek pada pagi hari raya. Semuanya home-made, kecuali satu (yang hijau coklat tu). Nanti bila ada masa nanti, del akan postkan resepinya. Semua kek ni, kak ijun (kakak ipar) yang ajar. Siapa nak belajar boleh bagitahu...


kek ini namanya kek lapis india. Agak popular sekarang di Sarawak, kek moden - sebab pakai kepingan coklat cadbury. Kos mahal sikit, tapi seeedaaap.



Kek baju harimau. Kek ini disukai mak-mak- sebab ada buah prune, jadi rasa dia masam manis.



kek buah kukus...yummy

bigger version - memang best waktu baru siap.Puas hati.



kek sri balas..cubaan pertamaku..



yang ini kak ijun buat. namanya kek pangako sa'yo.....kisah angelo dan yna tu...sekarang ni baru box 11, lagi 5..waaa...

Beraya di kampung bapak...

Pada pagi hari raya aidilfitri di Kampung Pendam Samarahan, Sarawak. Tengah panas terik.






comel tak? nama dia Najwa, sepupu Zulfa.

amiir..

semalam bawak zulfa baby photogenic contest kat JJ. sja untuk exposure.susah pulak nak buat dia posing.serves me right, patutnya practise la dulu dpn kamera skali dua kat umah.Ingat nak bawak amir, tapi tak smpt nak bgtau baba..kut2 diorg ada programme lain.sian dia.nangis masa kitorang nak kuar..setiap kali dia nak ikut mesti rasa terharu...tak sampai hati.

balik malam tu, terus bawak amir kuar isi minyak, tinggal zulfa kat umah jap...peluk2 dia(oops lupa nak bgtau baba...faizal, along bwk gi kejap je).Dlm hati, terasa lengkap keluarga amir, dah ada mak.Dan nampaknya amir tu dah manja ngan mak dia.

tgk amir, ada ketumbit (memang perkara biasa lam kuarga kitorang). Umi amiir pun ada ketumbit dekat2 akhir hayat dia dulu..Amiir ni ada ketumbit pun riang tak ingat..dia suka panggil nama orang..maklong,..mak loooong....bodek nombor satu. Nyanyi lagu lonely la.....cepat mengikut.Bila zulfa nak pandai ckp mcm amir?tak lama lagi kot, zulfa byk mengikut amir..

terbawak2 dlm mimpi. Mimpi nora, pakai baju baru, tudung bulat pink...tgh siap2 mcm nak pgi keje..aku tegur...'lawa mak engkau hari ni miir...' dia sengih mcm biasa. dlm hati, budak nora cantik pulak dia gosok tudung dan baju (biasanya ala kadar je, mcm aku), nak pulak dia pakai pink...

mainan mimpi je kut, sebab rindu.

20 months now

'This month, you may observe -- or experience -- your child hitting, pushing, biting or tugging to get his way. You'll need to calmly make clear that such actions are never acceptable'

yeah, true to some extent. She likes to bite. And tugging.And she also made it clear that at certain points she insists on something, with urgency.Tu yang payah tuh. gauk juak mbiak tuk..

kali ni kali yang ke 5 kot zulfa dibawak ke swimming pool.Tapi kali ni pakai bj mandi alang dan anjang dia beli. Tgk anak dr. magda mandi.bestgak.I think its about time to teach zulfa some instructions in arabic. I myself have to learn them.not proper long instructions, but simple ones...

yesterday i tried a few...

a ti mama... (bak sini)
al-qalam haqqu mama.. (pen mama punya)
zulfa...
mama abki.... (mama nangis?)
uwa....
a ti mama...
mama urid al-qalam..(mama nak pen)
shufi mama ...(tengok mama)
al-qalam ma fih..(takde pen)sambil tunjuk tangan takde pen
uwaa...

breakfast sesama

best gak pagi tadi.Dengan ifah, nawal dan zulfa pegi jalan-jalan cari makan. Kitorang boleh jadi histeria kalau nasi lemak tak sedap..heh.Pantang ada tempat yang ada special menu, mesti serbu (yang dekat dan mampu je la)..lepas tu masing-masing buat ulasan, tang ingredient la. Kitorang tgh kumpul menu / resipi family. Hanya yang terbaik aje akan diendorse oleh kitorang dan akan jadi resipi rasmi keluarga (ever heard anybody like us?).

semalam ifah buat kek coklat. tgh bakar baru dia perasan kek menitik. rupanya aku lupa set api atas-bawah, sebab biasanya buat kek lapis main api atas jek..sian ifah.Tak puas hatila tu.

abah nak ikut kitorang breakfast, tapi dia sibuk gotong royong potong rumput kawin faizal ahad nih..kalau tak abah 'on' je..dulu-dulu, tgh mlm pun boleh tetiba kuar mkn dgn abah.

my mice laboratory

we had a great time in the class today. it was hard explaining the law of agency and partnership at one blow. i declared to the students that sincerely, they were under experiment, my mini mice laboratory..hahaha: coz i'm squeezing as many law related as possible in their commercial law pot. imagine how tight it get especially when there are too many holidays this semester!

one student said, then i must be the cat!

i asked one student to read a provision ( which was more like a typewriting robot reading)..it was real fun when we tried to get the robot mouse read with feelings. Like Barney said: 'Gee, its sure hard to become a robot coz robots cant feel happy or sad!'But this robot eventually has feelings after all when she was joyously excited when class time finishes...

Remind me of Amiir and Zulfa singing (acting towards the song in Barney)...He's a little robot...

determining 'importance' and 'urgency'

i think i have a problem. i always regard everything as important and i end up doing nothing until everything really get to be urgent! how i wish to be consistent (like some others i know) accomplishing those important tasks before grasping my breath towards deadlines? (though i always manage to meet deadlines, and most of the time: half dead)

no matter how canggih sekalipun your organizer is, what matters most is DISCIPLINE!

by the way, is blogging necessary? is it a waste of time?
its very slow especially when uploading pictures.that upsets me.

My Leo

Have you ever sat back and wonder how great your husband is? If I were to list all the good things about my husband, I would'nt have enough papers! And if I were at his place, I think I wont be able to be as good as he is. A family man he is.I don't have to do the 'honey do things'list, he seems far ahead of me. To him, Zulfa and me is his prime priority... I have my own 'Leo' afterall...eheheh (Penangan Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas la ni...)

jodoh di tangan tuhan

It has already been 1 year since my sister nora has passed away. And eversince, Amiir (her son) has been with us (my mom). He has the eyes of my sister...

And its only a few days left before he is gonna get a new mum and a new brother..The best part is, the new mum is actually one of my sister's closest friend, Jawahir.
To Faizal and Jawahir, May Allah bless the both of you...
To Jawahir, Ahlan Wa Sahlan to our family.
The wedding news broke and it was a news of happiness for all three families ( faizal's, ours and Jawahir's)..Mohamad is gonna get a father and Amiir, a mother.

Mak said, apart from Jawahir being one of Nora's best friend,her family was also a family friend nearly twenty years back in England. Back in Bangi, these two girls studied together for their PMR, yeah I can still remember picking nora up from her home.After PMR, they led their own ways, until the last time I met Jawahir when she gave birth to Mohamad at Azzahra...a difficult moment for her, especially knowing that her husband has passed away.

Everything is arranged. Allah knoweth best of everything.

Woops..Watch Out!!

This picture was taken just about time when Irfan starts to vomit...luckily it didn't spill on Zulfa's head...hehhe.
I was enjoying my time watching these children playing happily...many friends from among CMIS families.Mdm Ramziah's daughter is in the picture too.



Accompanying bapak to play volleyball...both Zulfa and bapak are wearing sports tee-shirt. Wonder whom Zulfa resembles the most, bapak or me??



See water dripping!!! She's teething...



Auntie Dina, Uncle Saibi...anxiously waiting for their baby to be born..sabaq..

Zulfa's first raya

She was born slightly a few days after raya last year..Her aunt UmmuAmiir was still around that time, and zulfa was still sufferring jaundis - yellow all-over. (Wonder how Amiir and AbuAmiir is celebrating raya without their loved one..Alfatihah) I dreamt a lot of UmmuAmiir this ramadhan, maybe because I have been thinking about her so much.

This is the first time her mama has to go around searching baju raya for a child, its quite weird though, eventually, I am among those mamas in the busy superstores..Well, it didnt take a long time for choosing, but it was time consuming when it came for queing to pay. Luckily, Alang Najihan volunteered to do the queing part..Zulfa has already dozed off on mama's shoulders...This year is Alang Najihah's last year as a bachelor.Next year, she'll have a share of this experience ,insyAllah.


on the way to Kuala Lumpur...searching for baju raya, and tudung for Najihan's wedding...



in Alang Najihan's (DeQ An)car.Behind: Anwar Faiz.He is the most humble little brother..obedient, masyaAllahh.

An Analytical Study on Dining at Tarbush: Worth Going or Cooking at Home?

Thats my new topic of research in conjunction to my husband's birthday...It's supposed to be a secret..hushhh...Tarbush has to be really, REALLY good so as not to ruin this birthday..Hypothesis of Research: That Tarbush provides excellent arab taste and surrounding minus the price, however, such taste delicacy can be produced at home.Contents of research: Service, Surrounding,Price, Menu...etc.

Ahlan Ya Ramadhan...

It has been a long time since I have last updated my blog...many things happened though. Nilai campus is quite far from home. For a slow driver like me, it takes me at least half an hour everyday.Well, thats gonna be a routine , anyway.

Ramadhan is here. This time, I have to grab hold onto it. This ramadhan invites me with various feelings...am I a good Muslim?

Ibadah Camp...

This was the first Ibadah Camp which I was not a committee..sedey. I saw students graduating every semester. It seemed that it was only yesterday they registered joining the college. Time has gone so fast.
My husband and I always sat together talking on how we see our students. There is no doubt that some really leave a bunch of memories to us, in whatever form it may be. Some made us laugh while some others make us sigh..and not a few also even managed to make us stop, ponder and think...seriously. Having experience as wardens, it put us in various positions, we had to console them and provide medication ( before proper medication) when they were sick, listen when they have problems , play and be their friends and sometimes scold them when certain problems arose. Some students even have - the biggest disciplinary problem - we have ever imagined, but we always put in mind that if they want to change, they can change far better than any of us , and we have seen some really have changed. A lot.. Allah yahdii...


Akma holding zulfa. Zulfa can't wait for her new friend in aunt akma's belly. Irfan is watching...he wanted to bring zulfa home!

Lovely Kak Ram....Dina looking at Zulfa and Kak Zah.

Kak Wan and Fifi. At 4 month, Fifi can hold her own bottle!

Tuanku Najihah Public Lecture

Renaissance Hotel, KL

We had a public lecture on the harmonization of syariah and civil law in Malaysia, delivered by the Ketua Hakim Negara. Many judges came. I bet it was the time to at least know whom is whom. Worst, I was among the VIP usherer that day..their pictures with caps on didnt look the same as they appeared that day. Judges have typical styles...most of them are old..and they look so knowledgable.

The best part was, my lecturer was there...you know which one.. I told him I read a lot of his books..and he seemed happy (especially when out of a sudden the Ketua Hakim Negara quoted his name and book in his speech!)

Despite of the hazy KL - reached 400 EP, many turned up for the speech. It was soooo hazy. The haze had even entered the hotel! ( I walked with my colleague and she kept grumbling when we passed by some men who were smoking inside the hotel..what nasty brats!)


This is Tuanku Najihah. She dresses lovely..like pengantin everyday.Wish to see her wardrobe.



With Kak Yantie, Hendon and Yeni.

Head Down, Barely Looking at anyone..

Law Library - School Days

Friend: Del , look there, our lecturer...

Law Faculty - School Days
Me: There he goes again, our lecturer, wonder why he is soo gloomy?
(The lecturer was walking passing us, head down, barely looking at anyone)
Me and my friend: Assalamualaikum sir

Law Class - School Days

Friend: Del, eventually he laughs!
(My friend made a joke during presentation and made the lecturer laughed - without sound of course - still typical him)

No wonder he was 'head-down, barely looking at anyone'..He was busy doing these work!

Me-Today

Head-down, barely looking at anyone,
oh no...
