Girl at last :)

Alhamdulillah syukur because Ziela has safely delivered a healthy princess today :) C & i are proud "Mama & Papa" for the 8th time. All the 4 diamonds and our nephews and niece call us "Mama" & "Papa" :D

Our heartiest congrats to Ziela & Di for the arrival of the lovely princess :) Hope she'll bring all the joy, luck, love & prosper to the family :D

tak sempat....

Kalau nak ikutkan, semua benda tak sempat nak buat as time flies really fast nowadays :( Tapi, kalau nak ikutkan prinsip tak sempat, satu benda pun tak jadi kan.. kan.. kan.. So, here i am forcing myself to write something.

Last 2 days was my ex-boss' birthday, which also marked a cousin's birthday. Yesterday was the cousin's son's 1st birthday. Tomorrow will be MIL's birthday. C mentioned to me this morning that we haven't buy anything for Ibu. I've actually run out of ideas on what pressie to give her :( I think i haven't let any of her birthday(s) passed without giving anything. The least we did was buy a cake, which never fail to put a smile on her face, even when she complained a tiny winy bit that SIL bakes better cakes. I'm not sure whether the complaint was abt the cake we bought or she's hinting SIL to bake her a cake instead. I very much think it's the latter :) But for the past 2-3 years, SIL has started baking again, so for few years we've been savouring delicious desserts if we told SIL we oredi planned to buy MIL a cake. Nevermind that coz this year C will plan with SIL today on what to do or what cake shall we eat tomorrow :) I oredi have some plans, and told C abt it this morning, but it's depending on what time i can get myself out of bed tomorrow morning ;-) But, as i can picture the broad smile that i can put on her face early tomorrow morning, i must push myself just a lil bit, insyaAllah..

Anyways, my system testing is extended till next year which actually have pros & cons. As much as i want the testing to end soonest, longer time may be able to give some comfort level to me & colleague. So, since some test planning was done to have lesser activities next month, i have decided to do the long_abandoned_plan of eye correction surgery. I know to some people it sounds scary but i have tonnes of words of encouragement from friends. The close friends i spoke to said that i must go for it before i change my mind again. Apparently, i had a change of mind 8 years ago when i first decided to go for the lasik treatment. At that time the procedure was quite different. You had to do one eye at one time and the recovery process was very slow. After you first eye has somewhat recovered, you'll go to the hospital again for the second eye and struggle with another recovery process. Sounds like a hassle, don't you think so? I had all tests done and appointment fixed but chickened out at the very last minute :( In my thots at that time were all the "what ifs" :-/ Also i don't think i can survive 2-3 weeks of MC with blur vision, while having Simba to look after. This time around, with C's strong support, i think i'm brave enough to go through it. Wish me luck and pray for my speedy recovery please :D

(update on 26/11/07: we managed to get those loevely flowers for Ibu but we missed her by 10 mins, only bcoz of the roadblocks before entering LDP :( But, in the evening when we stopped by Ibu's house before going to pick up Mak, we met her and we're happy to see her broad smile :) All troubles was really worth it i should think so..)

Abt Raya, PRTM & Lelaki Itew :)

Raya is coming to the tail end but there are still invitations to fulfill.. even till Sunday which is going to be 1st Zulkaedah oredi :) As mentioned in previous post, we visited all relatives in KL on 1st Raya and went back to KK on 2nd day. Best Raya kali ni coz jumpa lagi ramai relatives than the previous years. Happy coz there were still many ppl in Tok's house on the 2nd day. Basically, we met all aunties, uncles, cousins, mousins, nephews, nieces in that 2 days so it was a great Raya indeed :D Alhamdulillah..

While busy kerja sakan during the weekdays and beraya sakan during the weekends, C & i managed to watch P Ramlee The Musical theater. It all started with Lan's sms, asking C to ask me to watch it as he has 1 tix bought by wifey. When Lan mentioned that he watched it 4 times, i insisted that C must go with me. So i called Lan's wifey to ask her to try get another tix. I guess it's our luck bcoz she managed to buy it. Eventho we're seated at different rows, we enjoyed ourselves very much bcoz the theater was superb! Our seats were very strategic too:) The music arrangement + ensemble, choreography, props (esp the train), main characters lined up, supporting roles worth mentioning :) From reviews everywhere, Liza Hanim & Sean Ghazi surely deserved all the applauses & standing ovations!! Had the chance to meet one of the '3 Perempuans' who introduced us to Pat, the great but humble Choreographer. Kembang hati, hehehe. Whoever missed it should watch out for announcement on the re-run, prolly in May. From the grapevine, PGL will be shown another round too. Awesome! We left Istana Budaya with the hope to be back for the re-run :)

Besides that, yesterday i had the chance to be together in a group of ardent fans of Anuar Zain, the great "Lelaki Ini" :D There was a slight delay at the start but the event went on smoothly. Senyum je AZ, from the beginning till the end. He entertained all requests without the slightest complaint. My guess is, his fans sits at the top of his list of important ppl :) My special thanx to KC & Mint for inviting me to join the group *big hugz to you both* All the other members at the table were very sporting, understanding & lively, hehehe. I persuaded C to go with me if KC or Mint invites me again for the same event next year, which he agreed. Yeayyyy!!

Anyhow, would like to leave a mark for these lovely people of their special occasions:

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY to my beloved sis Ziela (4th November)

Semuga panjang umur dan dimurahkan rezeki serta dilindungi Allah selalu *amin*

Selamat Bertunang to Sara & Redza (4th November)

Semuga sabar menanti hari bahagia di bulan Ogos nanti :)

Selamat Bertunang to K.Wa & Din (11th November)

Banyakkan sabar till June as banyak dugaan in the coming 6 - 7 months :)
