focus on the positive.

i figure the previous post was a little too much so i remove it. not all people could really understand it so lets just save it as one of my family dramas and dugaan i have to face.

not happy about it though but focusing on the positive part now.

just breath and smile. :)

of pregnancy and others.

hello there!

it's been a while..

guess what? we're 3 months married already and i'm almost 9 weeks pregnant!

time flies huh..

i've heard about all this crazy symptoms pregnant ladies experience but alhamdulillah, not so crazy for me.

but oh dear, i'm always tired!

like really tired exhausted even when i'm not doing anything.

lucky for me, i dont have all those muntah-muntah symptoms, only loya-loya a bit. i'm like extra hygienic now. i cannot smell anything dirty. everything must be clean. even sweeping the floor makes me loya sometimes.

cooking too has been a challenge now. at the beginning of our marriage, i was all oh so excited to cook. and i'm proud to say that i can cook!. lol. talent tak pernah discover sgt. but not great like all those chefs la. still learning.

anyway, since like few weeks ago. cooking routine has been reduced. i no longer have that excitement to cook anymore and somehow everything in the kitchen smells blergh.

and exactly right now, still feeling so tired, muscles aches, bloated. oh my god very bloated it's so uncomfortable. annndd my sinus is worse during pregnancy. blocked nose, bloated, not so good combination.

anyway, not trying to complaint but i hope it'll be over soon. cuz all this tiredness making me so unproductive at work/studies. need to finish up thesis/lab a.s.a.p! (yea i know been saying this like forever)

makan pun challenging now. selera makan not so much like before. but yang buat i selera gila is fruits! fresh fruit juice! yummm. but ever since selalu beli at pasar chowkit, we cannot find fruits at other stores or pasars yg berkenan. lol. chowkit punya super delicious and cheap!

but seriously, i want more fruits now.

oh my. 

malaysian politics.

only one thing to say.

why the hatred?

stop talking bad about other people and focus on what you can do for the country. 

and i dont understand those hardcore supporters who always hated each other. it's always 'dia org sana' 'dia org sini'. so what? everybody has different views and opinions. 

jarang sangat that we can talk openly about politics in malaysia without being bias to any political parties. if we ask the supporters why they sokong their respective parties, their answers were never satisfying! most of the time they always kutuk the other side and said that they're better. how to have open conversation like thaatt?

ok emo pulak.

seriously people, be nice to one another okay? stop the hatred. 

our honeymoon @ tioman island

initially, we planned to go somewhere else for our honeymoon. but then one of syib's relatives wanted to give us a wedding present, a sponsored hotel room under Berjaya. so we thought, hey, jimat kos, why not? there are several hotels/locations under Berjaya Malaysia. we chose tioman. 

the night after the majlis bertandang in the afternoon, we took the bus from TBS since it's just like 5 mins  away from our current house. we have never been to TBS before so we're a bit jakun. so impressed with the place, the facilities and the service. macam airport!

we started our journey around midnight and arrived at mersing about 5 in the morning. from the bus station, we walk to the jetty to wait for our ferry. there was one counter selling ferry tickets at the bus station (we bought ours there) but you can also buy them at the jetty. after suboh prayers and breakfast, we checked in ourselves at the tempat menunggu for the supposed to be 8.30 am ferry. turned out the ferry only arrived around 10 for god knows why. sigh. 

you must know which kampung you're staying bcuz the ferry will make a few pit stops to send passengers at different kampung. pulau tioman is so big there are several kampungs and you can only travel kampung to kampung by boat. there is no proper jalan darat. ours was at kampung tekek so we arrived there about 1 and a half hour later from the jetty. i guess we were so tired from the majlis the day before. after checking in our hotel room, went for lunch and then slept all the way. lol.

we rented a motorcycle to jalan2 around the kampung. since it's not peak season, they are flexible on the rate. we can rent by day or by hours. depending on availability as well. it's convenient if u wanna go check out for more variety of restaurants and convenient stores other than at the hotel. 

so the first night was not so much activities for us (cuz time spent sleeping! lol). we had early seafood dinner at a nearby restaurant and then went round the kampung and just lepak at the beach. it was beautiful at night as you can see stars in the sky. subhanallah sangat cantik. 

the next day was our island hoping day! we got best price from locals to bring only both of us in the boat for the tour. woohoo! we started early around 8.30am. after suboh, went out and had our breakfast at the jetty, lepak a bit then off we went! oh if u go there, dont forget to eat the nasi lemak at the shop opposite the jetty. cant remember the name but it's always full. super delicious!

and then all i can say is just that it was a beautiful experience. subhanallah. the boatman took us to several places, we enjoyed every single pitstops. corals are beautiful and the fishes are so many! worth every penny. it was even more exciting because syib bought along his waterproof casing for his dslr camera so we got so many beautiful pics it's so difficult to choose for posting. semua pun cantik!

 i wanna show a lot more pics here but it's just too many. oh well, enjoy. 

bye tioman. it was definitely a great trip. totally recommended for beach/sea lovers.

looking fwd for many explorations together!

23 March 2013.

Alhamdulillah, it's been 13 days since our wedding. On 23rd March, with one lafaz, we're finally married! Sometimes we couldn't believe it ourselves and poking each other and like 'eh kt dah suami isteri ke ni?' 

so thankful and sangat puas hati with everything on that day. the nikah ceremony was in the morning, it was simple and sweet. paling puas hati is the diy pelamin! hehe i'm lovin it. happy that i came out with the idea and my friends and family members helped out. paling best is that i can use every items back. yeay! tiada pembaziran di situ. 

i promised myself not to cry on that day tapi alahai, upon seeing syib crying when he salam-ed his mother, terus drama menangis kat situ. it was overwhelming when i hugged my dad, nda and my aunties. like one of my aunties said (who cried too lol), it was tears of happiness. alhamdulillah. 

the reception at night was perfect too. it was not too formal, not so unformal, it was in between, just how i like it. some of the guests came to me and said that it was a lovely wedding which makes me happy. kinda worried that they'll be uncomfortable with the late makan time etc. alhamdulillah guests were comfortable. (i think). 

was nice catching up with friends and family members. although many couldn't make it to the wedding but i'm a happy kid! :p

couldn't thank enough my family, friends and everyone helping out through the wedding and everyone who gave us beautiful presents! most importantly, your doa's. 

syukur. :')

five.

five days to go! 

:)

me and syib were talking last night about how finally the day is arriving after 2 years plus of waiting. that period of time really makes us mature and understand and love each other more. we cried, we laughed together. :)

alhamdulillah, all the major preparations settled. am so blessed with my aunties, uncles, cousins, friends, my dad, my brothers, sis in law and my nda for helping out and giving out ideas for the doorgifts, pelamin etc. making me feel bad for thinking that nobody really cares about me when truth is, there's many of them who cares. 

terharu pulak rasa.

there's a hikmah for everything. nda has helped a lot too. was always wondering how it'll be like preparing the wedding without a mother. thank god i have nda and my aunties for making me feel i still have that motherly care. 

hope everything turns out well. my only concern is that guests will feel comfortable and enjoy the wedding walaupun tak seberapa. and what's important is that everyone's happy. semoga majlis diberkati and our marriage also diberkati Allah. Amiiinnnnn. :)

bunohan.

malam dominasi bunohan di ffm 25

i'm so proud of bunohan! and songlap too.

i know a lot of us are still sceptical about the quality of malaysian movies but i'm still a supporter yo! there still are quality malaysian movies out there, although tak banyak. it's just that majority of malaysian are not interested to watch these kind of movies for god knows why. what to do, the market is like that. the market is more on relaxing comedy (nonsense most of the time) and rempit movies. pity the movie makers.

when i first know about the movie, i immediately want to watch it. why? because it has all the handsome and talented actors! lol. but of course because the story looks interesting. i like to watch movies lain dari yang lain.

come on, faizal hussein, one of the most famous heroes some time ago. zahiril adzim and bront palarae have always been my favourite actors. for me they are the talented ones that deserve to get recognitions.

although the movie is sooo heavy and soo confusing. but i love it. it has all the uniqueness of malaysian culture   and it's not typical. we can see that the production team and the actors put a lot of effort on this one.

so congratulations faizal hussein for pelakon lelaki terbaik (woohoo finally!) and bunohan for filem terbaik among other awards they've won on FFM 25.

songlap was an amazing movie too. i actually cried watching it. lol. syafiq naswip deserves the supporing actor award. what a talent.

both great movies i love. i hope malaysians produce more of these kind of movies. chaiyok!
