Daddy's Little Girl

Alhamdulillah, rezeki makin bertambah!

2012-01-27T09:12:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum! Setakat hari ni, banyak kerja kawin dah settle, Alhamdulillah. Dah settle habis bayaran butik pengantin. Kenapa saya settle habis, tak bayar depo saja? Sebab kalau settle habis, lagi banyak free gift dia bagi! Siap bagi FOC set hantaran 9 dulang kot. Alhamdulillah sangat...Tapi yang penting kita kena percaya vendor tu. Kot2 nanti lepas sebulan lesap pulak, tak ke naya jeee....Cuma sekarang ni yang penting nak cari vendor kad kahwin dan cari design baju pengantin supaya mak andam boleh jahit. Dia dah bising2 design belum decide. Katanya takut tak sempat nak jahit. Adus memang susah nak cari design baju kahwin yang memang cun!

Bercakap pasal kad kahwin, saya bangun hari ni, check internet, dan dapat berita gembira! Ingat entry saya yang ini? Alhamdulillah hari ni menang contest lagi...Contest by ArtChetak. Sangat2-sangatlah bersyukur Alhamdulillah. Contest ni ada 3 kategori dan saya menang 2 kategori! 1 kategori lagi tu tak boleh nak sapu jugak sebab hanya untuk pelanggan ArtChetak sahaja, iaitu sapa2 yang pernah order kad kahwin from them. Hadiah? Hadiahnya berupa sebuah handmade wooden frame dengan design yarn+crotchet dan 1 lagi tu hadiah misteri. Frame tu InsyaAllah boleh letak dia gusetbook area. Hadiah misteri pulak? Kita tunggu....Terima kasih ArtChetak sebab bagi peluang ni untuk semua B2B kat luar sana berkongsi hadiah2 comel~ Special thanks to K. Durra aka owner and creator of ArtChetak! :)

Saya ada check out Facebook Encik Musa, apparently dia ni dulu belajar kat IPGM Kampus Kota Baru. Wah, cikgu jugak ke ni? Buat bisnes part time kot? Bagus la, pandai cari rezeki lebih. Rezeki kan ada di mana-mana. Usha punya usha, Encik Musa ni hometownnya dekat Jitra! Lah dekat dengan rumah saya la tu! Lepas sembang2 sikit dengan dia thru Fb message, baru dapat tau dia belajar dulu di Sekolah Menengah Jitra, sekolah adik-adik saya belajar sekarang. Kecik rupanya dunia. :)

Saya dah survey kehulu-kehilir FB page dan website Encik Musa ni. Gambar-gambar yang beliau ambil memang cantik, meletops! Macam2 pose, beliau jugak pandai bermain dengan sudut dan warna. Ada gambar candid, ada gambar bersahaja, ada gambar posing. Tapi yang penting, semuanya cantik-cantik belaka! Tak percaya? Mari kita tengok!

Suka tak? Suka tak? Saya suka!!!! Kalau berminat nak tengok lagi gambar-gambar beliau, bolehlah klik mana-mana gambar di atas, ataupun boleh lawat laman web beliau di musartworks.com

Baiklah, sekarang, mari kita cerita dengan penuh perasaan tentang gambar yang diambil dari FB Musartworks Photography. Kalau menang ni, InsyaAllah saya nak buat post-wedding. Sebab mengikut kata Encik tunang, kalau post wedding boleh pose manja-manja sikit! ;) Puas godek-godek FB Musartworks Photography dan laman web beliau di musartworks.com, kejap suka gambar itu, kejap suka gambar ni. Pening jugaklah, tergaru-garu kepala sebab banyak sangat yang saya suka! Setelah seminggu memilih, akhirnya, foto yang menjadi pilihan kalbu saya adalah:

Pertama kali tengok gambar ni, memang dah jatuh cinta pandangan pertama. Saya dah banyak buat survey pasal wedding photography, agaknya mungkin dah layak buat thesis kot? Mari saya cerita kenapa saya suka sangat2 dengan gambar ni. :)

Okay, demikian lah cerita penuh perasaan saya tentang gambar tersebut. Saya mencuba dengan gigih dan cuba untuk menjiwai gambar itu sepenuhnya! Dan saya sangat berharap Encik Musa sukakan entry ni. Kepada B2B yang lain, saya sudah join, anda sudah? ;)

Sekian, terima kasih. Thanks for reading!

Bridal boutique: HELP!

2012-01-13T21:02:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum...hari ni baru je lepas survey butik2 pengantin area Changlun/Jitra/Alor Setar. Ada yang pelamin cantik, ada yang baju cantik. Memang banyak yang okay, harga berpatutatn. Tapi semuanya lebih kurang sama saja...Setelah diansihati oleh Cik Roshamiza, saya pun decide nak ambil vendor yang dekat2 je, supaya nanti kalau ada yang tak cukup atau tak puas hati, vendor boleh balik kedai dan tambahkan apa2...Sekarang ni berbelah bahagi antara 2 vendor.

1. Ombak Klasik

2. Yujie Touch

1. Ombak klasik ni, memang dekat sangat dengan rumah. Tak sampai 5 minit pun dah sampai. Pelamin dia ada yang ok, ada yang memang menambat hati. Bunga2 yang dipakai pun memang bunga berkualiti. Servis pulak memang bagus. Senang nak bersembang dengan Kak Su. Dia melayan je kerenah saya ngan Cik Miza duduk berjam-jam kat kedai tu smapai pukul 7 lebih. Harga package keseluruhan memang berpatutan. Baju dia cantik2 jugak. Dulu saya dah pernah pergi masa bulan 12. Ada 1 baju yang sangat berkenan, tapi tup2 bride yang pakai sebelum ni dah beli terus baju tu! Aduh! Tak ada rezeki lah tu.

2. Pelamin2 Yujie Touch ni memang meletops! Memang design dia lain dari yang lain. Kalau sesiapa suka pakai gown, kat sini memang banyak pilihan gown modern. Bak kata Cik Miza, gown celebrity pakai atas red carpet! Package dia pulak memanglah berpatutan. Dia bagi kelebihan kat orang yang bayar deposit banyak. Lebih banyak deposit kita bayar, lebih banyak free gift dia bagi. Contohnya kalau kita bayar depo RM1000, dia akan bagi free inai, payung, kek 3 tingkat, dome, dan baju yang diberi adalah baju baru. Tapi ada 1 masalah: Make up artis adalah seorang lelaki. Bak kata orang, mak nyah. (Offensive tak cakap camtu? Ampunnnn sangat2 kalau ada sesiapa yang terasa.). Nanti masa make up nikah, akan ada upacara membatalkan air sembahyang, kan? Jadi masa make up tu takut terbatal air sembahyang dengan MUA pulak. ;) So, macam mana ya? Kawan2 boleh bagi idea atau pandangan?

Ok. Gambar yang saya akan pertaruhkan adalah gambar di majlis pertunangan saya 2 bulan yang lalu! Ada bau-bau perkahwinan jugak kan? Boleh la kut? :)

Saya memang suka gambar ni sebab candid yang sangat lawak! Mula2 saja pose main-main camni sebab OP tu kawan baik saya. Pastu dia capture pulak! Seronok tau bertunang, dapat cincin! HAHA! Tapi bagus jugak sebab saya nak tengok balik gambar ni nanti lepas 20 tahun & tunjuk kat anak2 sambil gelak, pastu re-act balik scene ni HAHAHA. Muka bakal pengantin yang lawak! Padahal bakal pengantin la kena control ayu sikit depan bakal2 mertua kan? Memang masa ni keayuan dibuang ke longkang diganti dengan ke-tidakmalu-an. Aduhai...Sampai sekarang gambar ni tak tunjuk kat mak & abah takut diorang marah. :)

Sekian dari bakal pengantin tak tahu malu. Terima kasih.

Saya nak tag B2B yang sangat kreatif:

If you love cute things: GIFT BY PRINT aka ARTCHETAK

2012-01-03T19:49:00.002+08:00

I came across this cute shop a couple of days ago when I was googling for doily wedding cards. They provide printing for wedding cards and they have the cutest design ever! If you are stuck on ideas on how you want your wedding card to look like, you can just visit them at their online shop.

And surprisingly, the price is very very very affordable! Yes! Very! They have a few packages which are:

Essential 450 (check what you can get for RM450 here)

Essential 500 (check what you can get for RM500 here)

Silver 650 (check what you can get for RM650 here)

Silver 700 (check what you can get for RM700 here)

Now lets feast our eyes with some of their head-turner artwork.

All of the designs are so beautiful! (p/s: My favourite is the last one. Classy yet cute!) And they are good with playing around with pastel colour combinations which I think is one of their strong selling point. Brides (read: girls) just love cute, soft, pastel coloured stuff. And I'm talking based on experience. :)

FYI, they also print TQ tags, bunting, make doorgifts and all relate wedding stuff. Just have a go at their online shop. You'll find many, many delightful designs and wedding items.

And also, before I forget, they are now having their first ever online sale!

We are giving out 10% discount! Here are the terms & conditions;

The sale is on until 29th February 2012.
This promotion is applicable for S650 and S750 package only.
You may choose ANY design from our previous works, not applicable for entirely new design. Minor changes, such as colour combo & simple layout re-arrangement are allowed (maximum of 3 changes).
Deadline for collection/delivery is on 30th June 2012.
Not applicable with any other offers.
Other T&C's are as stated in our booking form.
Please forward all enquiries or questions to enquiries@artchetak.com.

Tutorial Tuesday: Colourful Doily

2012-01-03T06:46:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum semua! Sesi persekolahan dah mula hari ni utk tahun 2012 (Kedah/Kelantan/Terengganu). Esok pulak negeri2 lain akan menyusul. Bersempena keriangan permulaan sesi persekolahan ni (riang ke?) mari kita cuba DIY coloured doily paper! Siapa suka doily paper angkat tangan?

Saya suka sangat dengan doily ni. Memang obses. Dulu DIY goodie bag untuk diberi kat tetamu masa majlis pertunangan pun, pakai doily paper. Kebanyakan doily paper yg saya jumpa dalam negeri Kedah/Penang ni, warnanya putih. Puas mencari doily colourful tapi tak jumpa langsung. Semalam masa tak boleh tidur malam, saya google pasal doily paper. Then terjumpa 1 blog yang ajar tutorial macam mana nak warnakan doily paper. Senang saja! Mari kita cuba!

1. Bancuhkan sedikit air dengan pewarna yang anda mahu. Lebihkan warna. Air pulak jangan banyak. Cukup sampai doily paper tu boleh tenggelam. Bekas pulak, sebaiknya guna baking glass yang paling besar kamu boleh cari. Kalau pakai loyang, takut warna melekat kat bekas. Cari bekas yang permukaannya besar supaya senang kerja nanti.

2. Rendamkan doily paper warna putih ke dalam bekas. Ok, di sinilah gunanya bekas yg permukaan besar. Kalau permukaan kecik, memang susah nak angkat doily paper lepas rendam. Doily tu kan masih basah, memang sangan lembik dan fragile.

3. Keluarkan dari baking glass lepas 2-3 saat direndam atau selepas semua warna dah diserap oleh doily paper. Kalau taknak tangan pink macam saya, sila pakai rubber glove.

p/s: Tutorial asal cakap, rendam selama 10-15 saat. Tapi saya terus keluarkan lepas 2-3 saat sebab warnanya dah cukup terang. Kalau rendam lama2, kertas akan jadi lembik dan senang terkoyak masa nak keluarkan dari baking glass.

3. Keringakn atas permukaan yg rata. Jgn keringkan lama2 sangat nanti kertas tu renyuk. Warna akan jadi sedikit pudar lepas kering. Tada! Doily paper warna-warni dah siap!

Saya bereksperimen dengan macam2 shades pink. Sangat suka! Nak pakai doily pink untuk doorgift majlis reception nanti. Lepas berkesperimen dengan pelbagai shades of pink, saya cuba warna lain pulak. Jom kita tengok!

Lepas tu, cuba letak2 atas brown paper bag yg saya nak guna nanti utk doorgift reception...

Pink doily

Red doily

Yellow doily

White doily

Blue doily

Green doily

Orange doily

Tutorial asal boleh didapati dari SINI! Agak-agak kalau buat bisnes jual DIY sampul doorgift mcm ni, ada org beli tak? Hahaha!

Berbalik pada kasut. Kalau baju yang dipakai nanti kaler putih, kasutnya kaler apa? Haaa ini salah satu kelebihan kalau pengantin pakai baju putih. Kasutnya kaler apa pun tak kisah! Boleh jugak nak pakai kasut kaler merah menyala, pastu pegang hand bouquet kaler yg sama. Sepadan, bukan? Tapi bagi saya, saya nak kaler2 yg slow saja utk kasut & aksesori ni. Macam hitam ke, kelabu ke, cream ke...Taknak yang terang2 sangat...Nak nampak sweet tp masa yg sama, elegant.

Tinggi

Tinggi pulak, memang saya memerlukan kasut yang tinggi sebab tinggi saya cuma 150cm & bakal suami tingginya 179cm. Memang perbezaan yang ketara sangat! Tapi kalau kasut yg tinggi 8 inci pulak, memang saya akan surrender awal2! Tak reti pakai! Tapi bukanlah saya tak reti pakai kasut heels langsung. Kalau tak buat apa masuk GA Kak Sitti Nurs ni kan? Sebagai seorang cikgu saya boleh bereksperimen dengan kasut yg saya pakai ke sekolah tiap2 hari. Selalunya kasut saya ada heels sikit. Tak tinggi, tapi tak flat juga. Sedang-sedang saja orang cakap... =)

Design

Untuk design pulak, selalunya kasut ke sekolah saya pakai yg simple2 saja. Kebanyakkan memang kasut kosong pun. Jadi untuk majlis kahwin, saya nak pakai kasut yang penuh dengan batu-batu permata yang berkilat-kilat! Mesti lah nak lain dari yang lain masa kahwin, bukan? Satu benda saya belajar dari cerita fairytale Cinderella, kasut memainkan peranan penting bagi seseorang perempuan. Iya la, kalau ke mana-mana asyik pakai selipar jepun je, kita akan nampak selekeh, betul tak? Setakat nak pegi kedai runcik Pak Abu seberang kampung takpe la. Saya nak rasa macam seorang puteri di majlis perkahwinan saya nanti. Kalau boleh, saya nak orang asyik tertanya-tanya, "Mana dia beli kasut tu? Cantiknya!" hehehe.... =D

Cuba tengok kasut-kasut kat atas ni. Ya Allah cantiknya!!! Boleh pengsan tau!

Tapi tengok pulak kasut Kak Sitti Nurs kat atas. Batu-batu permata kat kasut dia dia lagi banyak okeh! The more the better! Suka!!! Memang first time tengok dah jatuh cinta pandang pertama. Terima kasih Kak Sitti Nurs sebab bermurah hati mengadakan GA ni. Semoga rezeki Kak Sitti Nurs lebih melimpah-ruah pada tahun 2012 yg akan datang...Dan semoga Kak Sitti Nurs pilih entry saya sebagai pemenang! =)

This is the story of how one Syafiq stumbled upon one Syafiqah

Semuanya ada pada nama. Nama sebenar Zombee adalah Syafiq. Nama saya Syafiqah. Jadi bukankah kami dah seperti diprogram untuk satu sama lain? Jawapannya....SALAH! Kami bukan cinta pertama masing-masing. Kami jugak dah berkenal selama 5 tahun sebelum mula menjadi rapat. Masa mula kenal pun kami dah ada pasangan masing-masing. Sedih tak kami bukan cinta pertama masing2? Saya tak tahu apa jawapan pihak sana, tapi bagi saya, saya tak sedih saya bukan cinta pertama dia. I don't want to be his first love, i want to be his last. :) Satu ja harapan saya, if only kami boleh berjumpa awal lagi...

Kami belajar di maktab yang sama selama setahun setengah . Lepas tu saya sambung belajar di Auckland, New Zealand. Dia pulak sambung di United Kingdom. Benua sudah lain-lain. Time difference pon, jangan cakap la. Tapi masa tu smeua perbezaan tu tak penting. Tahu kenapa? Sebab masa tu kami belum rapat pun lagi, inikan pulak be in a relationship.

Lepas balik Malaysia, kami sambung final year dekat maktab di KL. Masa ni la baru rapat. Masa ni la baru kenal hati budi masing-masing. Masa ni la baru jodoh kami bermula. Funny, sebab kami dah kenal lama. Tapi jodoh kami belum sampai agaknya. I met the wrong men, and he met the wrong girls. Yang pasti, Tuhan memang ada perancangan untuk kami.

Jodoh dan pertemuan di tangan Allah. Takdir tertulis yang kami telah bertunang pada 26 November yang lepas dan sedang merancang perkahwinan dalam masa yang terdekat, InsyaAllah.

Sebab mengapa saya memlih Zombee sebagai pasangan di dunia dan di akhirat nanti? Haruslah sebabnya ada berjuta-juta lemon! Saya bagi di sini 3 sebab utama, okay? :)

3. Entry ni panjang sikit. Tapi ada mengenai kenapa saya hargai Zombee, Dia sangatlah prihatin dan tak pentingkan diri langsung. Walaupun dia tak ada duit, dia sanggup belikan saya novel yang saya teringin baca. Terharu!

http://pikapikah.blogspot.com/2011/05/house-rules-book-by-jodi-picoult.html

2. Entry ni pendek je. Beberapa hari lepas majlis graduation, dan beberapa hari jugak lepas kami pergi beli cincin tunang dan cincin kahwin sama-sama. Ada tunjukkan yang dia selalu buat saya gembira, walaupun masa saya marah teramat sangat. Dialah pengubat segala masalah saya.

http://pikapikah.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-are-humans-after-all.html

Semuanya 100% usaha Zombee. He surprised me with this gift. Untungnya saya. :)

Oh, sebelum terlupa ada satu trivia yang kami tak pernah share dengan orang lain. Masa kami kecik2, walker kami sama! Hoyeah! Jodoh di situ kah? Haha. Tahu tak walker tu apa? Alah yang budak2 kecik kaki tak cukup kuat naik tu... Meh sini nak tunjuk.:

I'm sexy and I know it =p Kat sebelah tu my cousin.

Budak montel!

Sama kan? Hahaha. Walaupun saya punya takde customize nama kat walker tu, tapi saya tetap comel. :)

Mari tengok tumbesaran sihat kami selepas lebih 23 tahun:

Yang sexy maintain sexy, yang montel...errr...urm...errrr.....

Cerita kami ni, boleh jugak diibaratkan macam drama dolu2 Kutub Utara Kutub Selatan. Kenapa? Sebab saya tinggal dan bekerja di Kedah, Zombee pulak tinggal dan bekerja di Johor. Sebab distance yang jauh, kami jarang berjumpa sangat. :(

Terima kasih buat Miszalya Bridal Houze kerana mengadakan contest beserta hadiah2 lumayan ni! :)

P/S: Kepada readers entry ni, boleh tak tolong tinggalkan komen tulis "VOTE" dan tinggalkan link blog/FB anda? Kira macam undi jugak la... Thank you so much! :)

Pau Seri Ayer Hitam, Johor

2011-12-08T23:16:00.013+08:00

Assalamualaikum semua...Dengan ini saya mengumumkan, Pau Seri sedang mengadakan satu pertandingan untuk bakal-bakal pengantin di luar sana! Pau Seri akan menaja sebanyak 500 biji pau yang mengikut warna tema majlis anda. Tajaan akan diberikan hanya kepada 2 orang yang bertuah sahaja, yang akan berkahwin pada bulan 1-6 dan seorang lagi pada bulan 7-12.

Semenjak dua menjak ni saya sangat aktif join online contest dengan harapan nak menang barangan yang ada kena mengena dengan perkahwinan, jadi contest ni pun tak terkecuali! You see, Pau Seri ni base di Ayer Hitam, Johor, dan majlis bertandang saya nanti semestinya diadakan di Johor! Jadi apa salahnya cuba nasib, kan? :) Mari mula!

1. Kenapa saya perlukan tajaan ini dari Pau Seri

Sebab utama saya inginkan tajaan ni adalah sebab saya penggemar pau yang tegar. Perasa pau yang paling digemari? Kaya! Pau kaya kalau dapat panas2, perghhhhh...!!! Saya suka semua benda kaya, roti kaya, jem kaya, orang kaya. Eh yang last tu tak betul ye. Main-main saja hehe...

Okay, dulu masa saya masih belajar di maktab, cafe maktab ada jual sejenis kuih pau yang teramatlah limited edition. Maksud limited edition ni, pau ni bilangannya setiap hari sangatlah sikit. Dah la pau tu memang sedap dan mneggiurkan sesiapa saya yang terbau. Jadi apa saya buat untuk pastikan setiap hari saya dapat makan pau sedap ni? Saya ponteng kelas! Ya Allah buruknya perangai kau pompuan! Ponteng kelas semata-mata nak makan??? Tapi itulah kisah benar yang telah tejadi. Saya tahu saya seorang perempuan yang 'loqlaq' bak kata orang Kedah.

Masa saya sambung belajar di New Zealand pulak, saya selalu mengidam pau. Tapi saya tak pernah jumpa pau yang dapat menandingi pau cafe maktab tu. Pulak tu, pau-pau yang dijual di New Zealand tak semuanya halal. Ada yang mengandungi gelatin babi lah, gelatin binatang (tak semebelih) la, macam-macam. Tapi saya tak pernah putus asa. Saya cari jugak pau yang halal, dan Alhamdulillah ada beberapa jenama yang mengeluarkan pau halal. Tapi yang sedihnya, pau halal ni semua frozen je. Jadi kena balik kukus sendiri. memang tak sama dengan pau cafe maktab, oh pau kaya....

Jadi kalau Pau Seri sudi menaja majlis perkahwinan saya dengan 500 biji pau mengikut warna tema majlis, memang saya akan makan pau tu banyak2! Hahaha! Ok lah, mungkin saya akan share sikit dengan budak2 dan family, tak lupa jugak dengan husband saya nanti, tapi saya tetap nak bahagian saya tau!

2. Apakah warna tema perkahwinan saya dan bilakah tarikh majlis perkahwinan saya?

Warna tema perkahwinan saya nanti adala putih dan blush. Eh tapi itu belah perempuan ya. Disebabkan Pau Seri adalah bertempat di Johor, jadi saya dah fikir, kalaulah menang tajaan ni, saya nak gunakan untuk majlis bertandang nanti. Majlis bertandang akan diadakan di Pontian, Johor pada minggu pertama atau minggu kedua bulan Disember. Maaflah Puan Pau Seri, tarikh majlis bertandang yang sebenarnya belum dapat ditentukan lagi.

Tapi tarikh majlis nikah dan bersanding dah ade, dalam bulan Ogos nanti InsyaAllah...tu pun kalau Pau Seri tak kisah nak poskan pau sampai Kedah! Tapi takpe, untuk memudahkan pihak Pau Seri, gunakan untuk majlis bertandang pun dah cukup bagus. Warna tema majlis bertandang? Kombinasi yellow, gold, light yellow dan ivory. Zombee (nama manja tunangan saya) pilih warna kuning jadi kami bincang untuk tambah banyak shades kuning supaya kami takkan kelihatan sebagai pengantin pisang atau pengantin DIGI nanti. Cuba bayangkan kalau pau-pau tu nanti warna kuning+pink. Comel!!!

3. Ceritakan kenapa saya memilih pasangan sebagai suami dan pasangan seumur hidup.

Semuanya ada pada nama. Nama sebenar Zombee adalah Syafiq. Nama saya Syafiqah. Jadi bukankah kami dah seperti diprogram untuk satu sama lain? Jawapannya....SALAH! Kami bukan cinta pertama masing-masing. Kami jugak dah berkenal selama 5 tahun sebelum mula menjadi rapat. Masa mula kenal pun kami dah ada pasangan masing-masing. Tapi jodoh dan pertemuan di tangan Allah. Takdir tertulis yang kami telah bertunang pada 26 November yang lepas dan sedang merancang perkahwinan dalam masa yang terdekat, InsyaAllah.

Jadi, sebab mengapa saya memlih Zombee sebagai pasangan di dunia dan di akhirat nanti? Haruslah sebabnya ada berjuta-juta lemon! Saya bagi di sini 3 sebab utama, okay? :)

3. Entry ni panjang sikit. Tapi ada mengenai kenapa saya hargai Zombee, dia sangatlah prihatin dan tak pentingkan diri langsung. Walaupun dia tak ada duit, dia sanggup belikan saya novel yang saya teringin baca. Terharu!

Stunning Me!! by Qaseh Elyn

2011-12-07T23:04:00.011+08:00

P/S: Saya terpanggil untuk menyambung post sticky note ini dengan terjemahan dalam Bahasa Melayu. Anda boleh pilih anda lebih selesa nak baca yang mana, okies? :)

*Entry in English*

Attention! This is a sticky post. Thank you.

I joined a competition by Qaseh Elyn where she is giving away veil+inner to 3 lucky brides-to-be! I guess I might as well try my luck and if Allah permits, Elyn might choose me as the winner, and I'll get my dream veil for my wedding in 2012! Amin, Ya Rabbal Alamin...Teacher Syafiqah needs to cut cost on the wedding because she has a small salary only...

Hello! I am a contest badge from HERE!

The terms and conditions of the contest, if you are interested too.

My dream wedding scarf+veil. That is a very serious topic to be discussed, especially among girls. As for my wedding scarf+veil, I always loved the ones that look different than the others. But let's look at the two items separately first.

1. Scarf/inner

Now let's discuss about the scarf/inner. I prefer something that is not similar to what I wear to work or when going out everyday. Not tudung bawal, not tudung syria, not tudung express. I want something unique, something extraordinary, something magnificent! Something that people will see me in and say... "Ahhhh...cantiknya...tudung dia." Haha! Okay okay I do want people to think I'm pretty when I wear my dream veil. *blushing* For the scarf, I want the edge of the scarf/inner to be filled with flowery fabrics, or as we say it in Malay, 'kerawang'. Maybe something like these:

2. Veil

As for he second but equally important item, the veil, I always dream of a beautiful big fairytale wedding. I mean, no, I don't want a pumpkin carriage or my future husband to ride on a horse. I just want a white wedding. I want to be the Cinderella on my wedding day. Actually my favourite Disney Princess is Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, but... Eh, I'm out of topic already. Sometimes I think I talk too much, especially when I'm in class. Poor students...

Back to the veil. I adore simple yet elegant veils, especially the long ones. Reallyyyyy long ones, the one that you sit down and people can accidentally walk over it. I think they are called the chapel veil or something like that. It doesn't have to be full with beads or 3D flowers feathers or whatnot. A simple veil will suffice. I like simplicity and tidiness, so I want the veil to reflect my personal values. Worn with elaborated scarf with 'kerawang', it'll be a perfect combination!! And I won't be needing any tiara. Ka-ching! Save some money!

The design of the veil, like I mentioned earlier, should just be simple yet elegant. A little 'kerawang' at the edge to make it look sweeter, not too full, not too plain. And the material should be soft and smooth chiffon, like my sister's hair after using Rejoice shampoo. "Seperti rawatan minyak panas", they say. Okayyyy, back to the veil. It should look something like these:

Looking at the portfolio in the website of Elyn Creation, I believe Elyn can make my dream come true. I have no doubt that she can make a veil this beautiful, this unique, this magnificent. Wheather she will choose me as the winner or not, that is entirely up to her, right Elyn? *wink wink* :D

Sebarang pertanyaan bole emel terus ke Elya di elyncreation@gmail.com. She makes the most beautiful things you have ever seen.

*Entri dalam Bahasa Melayu*

Perhatian! Ini adalah 'sticky post'. Terima kasih.

Saya sertai pertandingan oleh Qaseh Elyn dimana beliau akan menghadiahkan layah+inner kepada 3 orang bakal pengantin yang bertuah! Saya rasa alang-alang saya patut mencuba nasib dan kalau diberkati Allah, Elyn akan pilih saya sebagai pemenang dan saya boleh dapat layah perkahwinan impian saya! Amin, Ya Rabbal Alamin...Cikgu Syafiqah perlu jimat kos kahwin sebab gaji dia kecik saje...

Hai saya adalah 'badge' pertandingan dari SINI!

Syarat dan terma pertandingan, jika anda berminat juga.

Tudung+layah impian perkahwinan saya. Satu tajuk yang serius untuk diskusi, terutamanya sesama wanita. Bagi saya, saya sukakan tudung+veil yang tampak lain dari yang lain. Tapi, mari kita lihat 2 item ni secara berasingan dulu.

1. Tudung/inner

Sekarang mari bincang pasal tudung/inner. Saya inginkan sesuatu yang berbeza dengan apa yang saya pakai ke tempat kerja atau bila keluar tiap2 hari.Bukan tudung bawal, bukan tudung syria, bukan tudung ekspres. Saya mahukan seusatu yang unik, yang luar biasa, yang menakjubkan! Sesuatu yang bila orang nampak saya pakai, orang akan cakap... "Ahhhh...cantiknya...tudung dia." Haha! Okay okay Saya nak orang rasa saya cantik masa pakai layah impian ni. *malu* Bagi tudung pula, saya mahukan tepi atau sisi tudung/inner dijahit dengan fabrik bercorak bunga-bunga atau berkerawang. Mungkin sesuatu seperti ini:

2. Layah

Bagi item kedua yang sama pentingnya, layah, saya selalu impikan perkahwinan yang bagaikan kisah 'fairytale'. Maksud saya, saya bukan nak kereta labu atau bakal suami saya naik kuda. Saya cuma mahukan perkahwinan yang serba putih. Saya nak jadi Cinderella pada hari perkahwinan saya. Sebenarnya watak Puteri Disney yang paling saya suka ialah Aurora dalam Sleeping beauty....tapi...Eh, saya dah keluar topik dah. Kadang2 saya rasa saya cakap banyakkkk sangat, terutamanya bila dalam kelas. Kesian pelajar kena bebel ngan saya...

Berbalik kepada layah. Saya suka layah yang simple tapi elegan, terutamanya yang panjang. Yang sangatttt panjangggggg, yang orang boleh terpijak bila kita duduk. Saya rasa namanya 'chapel veil' kot.Tak perlu penuh dengan manik atau bunga 3D atau bulu-bulu. Yang simple dah cukup. Saya sukakan simple dan kemas, jadi saya mahukan layah tu menggambarkan keperibadian saya. Kalau pakai dengan tudung yang penuh kerawang, mesti jadi kombinasi yang sempurna! Dan saya tak perlu lagi pakai tiara. Ka-ching! Jimat duit!

Design layah, macam saya cakap tadi, perlu simple tetapi elegan. Sedikit kerawang kat hujung untuk tampak manis, tak terlalu penuh, tak terlalu kosong. Dan bahan haruslah chiffon lembut, macam rambut adik saya lepas pakai shampoo Rejoice. "Seperti rawatan minyak panas", katanya. Okayyyy, kembali ke layah. Mungkin macam ni:

Tengik portfolio dalam website Elyn Creation, saya percaya Elyn boleh jadikan impian saya satu kenyataan. Saya yakin beliau boleh buat layah yang cantik, unik dan menakjubkan macam ni. Tapi sama ada beliau pilih saya sebagai pemenang atau tidak, semua tu terserah pada beliau, betul kan Elyn?*wink wink* :D

Sebarang pertanyaan bole emel terus ke Elya di elyncreation@gmail.com. Dia dah buat macam-macam yang cantik sangat!

SAYA NAK GUBAHAN COKLAT DARI MIZASHOPPE

2011-12-07T19:44:00.004+08:00

Chocolate: The best thing that ever happened to women....other than a proposal, of course.

If you love chocolate and pretty little things, then MIZASHOPPE is good news for you! Home made chocolate made with love and tenderness, each one was crafted professionally to meet your unique standard. I should know, because I ordered a basket full of red and white tulips from this successful young lady! *refer picture above*

I have always been fond of tulips since I was a little girl, so I decided to order a bouquet of chocolate tulips as one of my present (hantaran) to my future husband. And...I have a confession to make. I ate 2 pieces of that chocolate from the bouquet BEFORE the engagement ceremony (Yes I AM a chocoholic!) although my fiancee (boyfriend at that time) said I could only have one. It was just so sweet and pretty, I had to taste it, one of white and one of red. And they taste deliciously amazing!

So, I just gave many many reasons for wanting to win this chocolate. They're cute, tasty, in a form of beautiful tulips, they remind me of my sweet love story, and I am a chocoholic. Okay maybe the last one doesn't count. I also want it to be as one of my wedding hantaran, and maybe this time, darling, you'll let me have 3 pieces? :p

2011-11-05T12:08:00.004+08:00

Pejam celik pejam celik, dah masuk bulan November. Alhamdulillah, persiapan dah banyak yang settle. Hari ni nak share idea giftbags sikit. Saya beli paper bag warna silver, embossed dengan bunga dan tulisan 'Thank you'. Atasnya lekat doily paper saiz 5.5". Dekat bahagian atas tu, saya buat riben kecik2 warna merah kemudian lekatkan. Bahagian tengah doily paper pulak saya lekatkan TQ tag yang telah direkacipta oleh Zombee! Dia yang design, dia yang gunting bulat2, dia dah pos ke sini. Nanti saya cuma perlu gamkan kat atas setiap beg saja. Isn't he thoughtful? :)

Kat dalam beg pulak, dulu pening jugak nak letak apa. Last2 saya decide, letak benda makan lah. Senang. So it's been decided, dalam setiap beg ni akan ada air mineral/kotak, biskut, pelbagai sweets, sagon stick, dan mungkin nak letak kacang ataupun kek. Benda lain semua dah beli, cuma kacang dan kek saja kena survey supaya dapat yang harga murah. End product, siap dengan TQ tag semua, nanti kita share hari lain ya? ;)

Checklist [sticky note]

2011-10-22T14:02:00.007+08:00

First of all, this check list is more like a personal reminder for me because I know if I write it here, I won't forget. I forget a lot of things, seriously. Just last night I found my hidden stash of money. I was hiding it from myself (what?) to pay my dentist, maybe 4-5 months ago, and I forgot. Last night I found it and I'm thrilled! Because now I have an extra RM300 to shop, and to pay my dentist next week! Hopeless, I know. Damn, I can't even memorize my parents' phone number. That's how bad I am at numbers.

Ok now, back to the check list.

Okay, when I lay all of it out like this, it's frightening how much needed to be done in a short time!!! *breath in, breath out* I have this (misleading) idea that towards the end of the year, my workload will miracously go off my shoulder because my students are having their final exams. No p&p. I couldn't have been more wrong. Now I get 1 more class added to my timetable, and it's a F5 class. The teacher of that class never taught them anything and only give notes/sample essays every time he enters the class. They even told me, "Teacher, subjek English, kami tak belajar apa-apa lagi tahun ni. Takut fail, teacher." And now he has chicken pox so the kids just sit and chat during 5 periods of English throughout the week. They asked for my help and I agreed to enter their class during English periods. Kesian. Dah la kelas belakang. At least they have the 'kesedaran' to pass English kan. To top that busy schedule, I also have extra classes with them every Friday. And also, I have to invigilate for SPM, help mom with her assignments, babysit when mom goes off to study. In the middle of all that, I am going to get engaged. Betul ka ni???!!

p/s: Somehow, my priority atm is work. Not my private life. Zombee said I'm turning into a good teacher. But, I don't want to.

Thank you daddy~

We are humans, after all.

2011-10-08T19:32:00.001+08:00

It's been a while back since I last felt this sort of happiness. You are the sole reason why. Thank you for always being here for me, even when I make it difficult for you to tolerate me. Alhamdulillah, in our relationship, we rarely fight. Maybe it's a sign that we are compatible. Maybe its a sign that we are both two adults who know how to handle problems the best way. But when we do fight (dear God this will sound weird) I feel thankful too. Because that makes us humans, that shows that we are normal, just like other couples.

Thank you for always bringing out the best in me.

That's why I love you.

Wedding photograph ideas

2011-10-01T18:44:00.006+08:00

I'm way far ahead of myself here. But it's nice looking around the internet to browse through wedding pictures, isn't it? Okay don't answer that. Now lets have a look...

Stolen moments kind of photograph. It looks really amazing as portraits pictures. I love the idea of the bride and groom is sort of an 'excessories' to the photo. No faces, just figures. But it doesn't mean that they are not the main focus of the picture though. There is balance between the married couple and the beautiful surroundings. Amazing.

Classic black and white. As the name suggest, classy. I figured even a baby can edit pictures to black and white. But the moments captured in the photos need to be special, extraordinary. The angle. The size. The proportion. Only then the photos will look stunning in black and white. And again, you don't have to get the shots of the faces of the couple to get a great photo. Like in the first black and white picture. Just hands is necessary.

'Softened' black and white photos with the hint of colours. Zombee used to edit pictures like these and send them to me. It's just classically elegant. Seems like old pictures. Gives you the idea of memories. Good memories. Mesmerizingly one of a kind.

Polaroid-ish. Simple and stunning. Very similar to the black and white photos but this one has a more unorthodox feeling to it. Seems 'informal' but in a good way of course. Again, the moment, angle, size, everything needs to be taken into special consideration.

Photos with edited colour temperature, tint and saturation. Easy editing. But I love how this photo put some emphasis on the yellow trees. And the playful sunlight just add extra touch to the already beautiful natural background. Very artistic. Nature is incredible isn't it?

My favourite. A very simple picture, yet the beauty is there. Kudos for emphasizing the background. At night! Little editing was done. But night time wedding pictures? You don't see that too often, do you? Natural looking and very sophisticated. And you don't sweat as mush as the afternoon weather too. But your OP needs to be a genius playing with lights.

P/S: Notice how I like pictures that DO NOT emphasize on the faces of the bride and groom?

Life lesson

A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Teaser: Busana majlis pertunangan

2011-09-18T15:42:00.001+08:00

Bright much? Hahaha! Kain ni dibeli online daripada Kak Wina. Kak Wina ni asalnya orang Penang tapi dia kahwin dengan orang Indonesia, jadi sekarang dia menetap di Indonesia. Dia ada bisnes jual kain secara online. Jumpa Kak Wina pun sebab Miza yang kenalkan. Apparently diorang ni Blogger buddies. Memang rambang mata pilih mana satu yang nak beli.

And guess what? Last-last your truly angkut 5 pasang! 3 pasang kebaya and 2 pasang kurung. Tapi dapat save posting cost tau, sebab masa beli ni Kak Wina nak balik Malaysia melawat family dia. Jadi dia post dari Penang instead of Indonesia. Jimat pos!

Masa beli kain-kain ni, takdak niat langsung nak buat pakai tunang. Niatnya nak buat baju raya atau baju function/dinner. Masa tu plan nak bertunang pun belum ada! Sebab baru je serious ngan Zombee. Bila kain dah sampai, this one is my favourite. Kain ni 2M beaded lace + 2M satin untuk set kurung moden. Warna asal gelap sikit dari gambar, and more to maroon than bright pink like above.

Masa dah plan bertunang, decide nak guna kain ni buat baju tunang sebab masa tu dah beli kain-kain ni dekat 5 bulan tapi tak tempah satu pun lagi! Lepas decide tu, datang idea nak buat baju nikah pakai 1 set kain lagi yang dibeli dari Kak Wina jugak! Warna cream, french lace juga untuk set kurung modern. Tapi yang tu secret dulu, tak boleh tunjuk lagi ye!

Sekarang kain dah hantar pada tailor. She's my mom's tailor dan dah jahit banyak baju kurung yang design-design mencabar (read:pelik) for my mom. Apparently she has been a tailor since 1973 (baca banner kat kedai dia masa hantar kain hari tu). So hopefully dia dapat jahit ikut design yang dibincang sama-sama dulu. Harga pun affordable, tak mahal sangat.

Tak sabar nak tunggu siap! :)

DIY trays

2011-08-26T11:51:00.001+08:00

It's the first day of the mid-sem break. I woke up early, found out I've been (finally) called to the SPP interview, and planned a berbuka BBQ with my besties. I have so much time left at hand, it's not even noon yet!

So I took out my tool kit and my trays, and experimented with several designs to decorate the trays. Oh yes, I'm going to DIY all the trays. Simply because I can save money, and I want to put some effort in preparing them. Plus the designs in the stores are not always pretty, right? I've been having some ideas on the back of my mind and I could finally try them out. But I still can't decide what design I'm gonna use this December. Hurm, which one do you find attractive?

Empty tray

Design 1

Design 2

Design 3

Sorry for the bad picture quality. My new camera is supposedly more canggih and all, but somehow the pictures suck! Or maybe I need to tweak the settings here and there. Oh well.

As for the trays, I might find new ideas and try them out and love them. But most importantly, selamat bercuti and Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri everyone!

Perseid meteor shower

2011-08-11T23:10:00.001+08:00

This week marks the annual return of the Perseid meteor shower, the most reliable meteor shower of the year, though the full moon may interfere with this year's display.

The Perseid meteor shower peaks this week in the overnight hours of Friday and Saturday (Aug. 12 and 13) just before the full moon hits its maximum brightness.

p/s: A meteor shower on my birthday, every year. Someone said it is because I'm special. ;)

Kelebihan bulan Sya'ban

2011-07-16T20:55:00.001+08:00

‎"Barangsiapa berpuasa sehari pada bulan sya`ban, diharamkan Allah tubuhnya dari api neraka."

Sabda Nabi s.a.w : "Bahawa puasa Sya`ban kerana membesarkan Ramadhan, siapa yang berpuasa tiga hari daripada bulan Sya`ban, kemudian dia berselawat atasku beberapa kali sebelum berbuka puasa, maka diampunkan oleh Allah dosanya yang telah lalu, diberkatkan rezekinya. Antara lain sabdanya lagi: Bahawa Allah ta`ala membukakan pada bulan itu tiga ratus pintu rahmat. (Al-Hadis)."

“Barangsiapa berpuasa tiga dari permulaan Syaaban dan tiga hari di pertengahan Syaaban dan tiga hari di akhir Syaaban, maka Allah swt mencatat untuknya, pahala seperti pahala 70 Nabi, dan seperti orang-orang yang beribadah kepada Allah swt selama 70 tahun dan apabila dia mati di tahun itu maka dia seperti orang yang mati syahid.”

p/s: Kalau dapat 9 hari puasa bulan Sya'ban ni, boleh sampai tahap tak takut mati sebab InsyaAllah, kita akan mati syahid, dan Allah janjikan syurga selamanya bagi orang2 yang mati syahid. Boleh ke kita ni tak takut mati? Mari cuba. Lepas cuba baru tau. =)

Happy Birthday Roshamiza Roslan! =)

Peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes

Today I went to Perlis to visit Baby Aushaf Iman and mommy Choc Jamaludin. Then as usual the four little pigs (Aiman, Mamat, Miza and sadly, myself included) went off to Jetty Kuala Perlis to fill our hearty appetite with spicy tomyum and delicious ikan bakar! Yummy! I made some peanut butter with chocolate topping and chocolate chips cupcakes for Choc and hubby, and some peanut butter cupcakes with colourful sprinkles to celebrate Mamat's birthday. It was a good day indeed. ;)

Assalamualaikum lovelies~

I made these for breakfast today. Rainbow apam! Made extra just in case I decided to visit Choc and her little prince later today, which I actually might.

I swear, if you put a lot of colour in it, they wont perk up as much. Just look at the bright ones. Hence I tried the soft-coloured ones. They turned out really well, Alhamdulillah. Live and learn, they say.

These are mini muffins, not cupcakes, although they look exactly like my cupcakes (Yes I ran out of ideas on how to decorate them teheee).

The ones with jelly drops on top is my latest creation, and I call them 'Jellybeans'. The Jellydrops have different colours (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple) with different flavors. Adorable and delicious! =)

Resepi kek batik yang teramat senang

2011-05-23T18:47:00.001+08:00

Requested by Miza through Facebook. And I thought, why not I share it here too. =)

Ini resepi untuk sebungkus biskut meri, agak2agak cukup untuk separuh loyang kek. Memang tak dapat banyak sebab biskut ni akan ditekan-tekan rapat nanti. Nak banyak, pakai 2 bungkus biskut meri dan doublekan sukatan.

Bahan2:

1 bungkus biskut meri (sekeping biskut kepak/patah 4)
1 kotak (kecik) susu dutch lady or brand apa2 ja
4 sudu besar butter
4 sudu besar susu pekat manis
Air panas
Milo secukup rasa. aku suka letak banyak. kasik sembelit.

Cara2:

1. Panaskan susu dutch lady, susu pekat manis n butter dalam periuk ngan api kecik sampai mendidih.
2. Bancuh milo ngan air panas. Kalau suka milo banyak, bancuh sepekat-pekatnya. (bancuh dgn air panas untuk elakkan milo berketul dalam adunan)
3. Campur milo ngan bahan2 dalam periuk. Panaskan sehingga agak2 pekat. Jangan cair sangat, nanti biskut jadi lembik. Biar ada texture pada adunan tu.
4. Lepas dah pekat, tutup api dan biar adunan jadi suam. Masa tengah suam, masukkan biskut meri yang dah dikepak kecik dalam adunan. Kacau sehingga sebati.
5. Masukkan adunan biskut+kuah dalam tupperware. Masukkan sikit2. Buat by layer. Masuk sikit, tekan bagi rata. Then masuk lagi. Jangan sampai ada ruang banyak sangat. Kalau ruang banyak, nanati bila potong, biskut/kek hancur.
6. Sejukkan atas meja. Bila dah sejuk, masuk dalam peti ais 2-3 jam. Nak kasik dia melekat/melekit sikit. Hidang sejuk atau tak sejuk. Aku suka tak sejuk.

p/s: Kalau jenis yang suka kurang biskut dan lebih kuah, boleh doublekan bahan2 pakai sebungkus biskut. Resepi ni sangat senang dan flexible. Ikut selera sendiri ok.

Selamat mecuba! =D

House Rules. A book by Jodi Picoult.

2011-05-21T22:25:00.004+08:00

I love reading. It just occurred to me I haven't done much reading since I started working. Reading novels, that is. I read scripts and essays practically everyday but that is NOT for leisure (it has the opposite effect, actually, since those essays often give me a mysterious headache after reading around 20 of them).

I used to love The Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella. About the same time, I fell in Love with the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. Do you know that J. K. Rowling purposely initials her name as if it were a man's just so that the book will become more known? Because male writers are often more known and celebrated in the United Kingdom. Whatever it is, those series educated and fascinates me when I was growing up, in my school years. But surprisingly, I have ALL seven of the Harry Potter books, but I don't even own any of the Shopaholic series. Hurmmm....

After I graduated from high school, I entered my university years. By this time I've outgrown Sophie Kinsella and J. K. Rowling, but I fell head over heels with Julie Garwood. She often writes about barbarians or barbaric men who are tough and rough, falling in love with beautiful, soft-spoken, fragile ladies. I owned a lot of her books, in which I read as often as I can. Also, I read and own a lot of Cecelia Ahern's and Nicholas Spark's. Notice the theme there? Yes, ROMANCE.

Then I went to New Zealand, and I came back. I started looking for a new writer that could blow my mind off. When I was in Popular Bookstore with Zombee, I saw a book titled 'House Rules'. Not interesting at all. But something drew me to pick up the book and read the synopsis behind the cover. The story is not about love, fantasy or how a girl struggles to support her impulsive shopping amidst her mounting credit card bills. It's about a mother and her child. And I put the book back down on the shelf.

Days after, I went to a bookstore again. I picked up the same book, House Rules. The writer is Jodi Picoult. Not familiar at all, at least to me. And I put it back down again. This happens for more than 20 times over two weeks, I think.

And then one day, I came back from ~~window~~ shopping with Zombee, I realized that there was something else in the paper bag I was carrying. I didn't realize this earlier because, being a considerate gentleman that he is, Zombee was holding the bags for me. I was pleasantly surprised finding what was inside. Can you guess?

I was so happy and flabbergasted! I hate it when he does that! Buying or getting me things I really-really want! Oh wait who am I kidding? I love it when he does that! Thank you Zombee. He afterwards told me that he felt ~~annoyed~~ pitiful watching me picking up the book every time we enter a bookstore, but not buying it (because I did not have any money then. I was a poor, poor student).

One might say "It's just a book. Anyone can buy it. Duh." Well, MY book has this inside. And it is what makes it special, one of its kind. What makes me treasure it most.

To readers who are looking for a new breath of air, you can try Jodi Picoult. She often writes about mothers or family matters. But if you are looking for romance, you are barking up the wrong tree. Picoult deals with more matures issues in life, such as parental love, forgiveness and accepting imperfection in the people that we love. Her way of writing is so fresh and personal. I've learnt a lot reading her supposedly fictional novels. For examples, now I know a lot about Asperger Syndrom. Well, if you are not familiar with some of her writings, maybe you have watched the movie 'My Sister's Keeper'? Major TEARFEST for me. So does all of her books.

Smiling with braces, and the Form 6 dilemma

2011-05-18T21:01:00.004+08:00

Assalamualaikum! Dah lama tak tulis entry yang bercerita. Lately asyik letak gambaq ja. Sebab? Malas mengarang. And I've been really busy with some professional and personal stuff. Good news going to be revealed soon. Just sharing the news with my closest friends for now.

Ok. It's been almost 4 months since I've been wearing my braces. Sekarang tak sakit dah. Makan pon bedal ja apa yang ada depan mata. Cuma, every month bila pergi jumpa dentist untuk regular check-up, dentist akan tukar dan ketatkan wayar. Lepas tu akan rasa sedikit sengal dan gigi menjadi ketat. Mungkin susah nak makan selama 24 jam. Esoknya, InsyaAllah akan ok balik. Tapi tak la sakit macam mula-mula pakai dulu. Sakit sikit saja. Aku siap boleh drive balik rumah Penang-Changlun 2 1/2 jam straight lepas jumpa dentist.

Rupa-rupanya, susah betul nak senyum bila pakai braces. Sebab: Gigi secara automatiknya menjadi tebal disebabkan ceramic/metal yang digamkan terus ke gigi tu. Selama ni aku lebih selesa senyum tak nampak gigi. Entahlah, mungkin aku perasan yang senyum macam tu lebih ayu. Bila pakai braces, kalau aku senyum tak nampak gigi, nampak seperti senyuman dibuat-buat. Nampak macam senyum menyampah pon ada. Alah macam kita senyum nak perli orang tu. Walaupun aku tak berniat langsung. Kadang-kadang je aku dapat mengawal muscle muka supaya bila senyum tak nampak gigi, aku nampak normal seperti biasa dan bukan seperti seorang pengkidnap budak bersiri.

Jadi sekarang, kalau bergambar, aku akan cuba senyum luas-luas macam esok nak kahwin. Eh esok ke? taklah. Lambat lagi. Senyum macam sengih kambing. Kerang busuk. Sengih macam baru dapat gaji hari ini. Eh hari ini ke? Minggu depan lah. InsyaAllah.... Tak biasa lah senyum macam ni. Jadi agak kekok. So in the end aku nampak macam senyum plastik. Ah macam-macam la. Tutup mulut susah bukak mulut pun susah. Kalau tak senyum, nanti dikata sombong. Lagipun senyum itu sedekah, kan? So senyum je lah walaupun kadang-kadang I swear to God I think I look terencat.

On a totally unrelated subject, sekarang aku secara officialnya sedang mengajar MUET. I HAVE NO FRIGGIN IDEA what I should be teaching in class, but for now I'm still on the level of measuring their English proficiency and improving their courage to speak up in class. I have noticed a few things with my Pra U1:

1. ALL of the students in the class is taller and bigger than me.

2. They are 18 years old, and they look like bapak-bapak and mak-mak budak already.

3. Not much of a discipline problem with these grown up kids. When I talk in class, they listen like it's the end of the world. God is MUET that interesting???!!!

Teaching MUET is harder than it seems. Because they do not have a syllabus like Form 1 till Form 5. But some teachers have been reassuring me that teaching in Form 6 is one of the express way to naik pangkat, aside from GC (Guru Cemerlang). If you have an experience of teaching Form 6 for 4 or 5 years, you can apply to be appointed as GAT6 (Guru Akedemik Tingkatan 6). And when you are appointed, your DG status will automatically be increased to DG 44 (whilst the time-based normal method is going to cost you 10 years to move from DG41 to DG44). So my teacher-friends out there, lets apply for GC or GAT6 as fast as we can! Perlulah berusaha untuk memajukan diri kita, betul?

So far I feel blessed with life. Going to take a huge step in life soon, and my career is just showing a promising future. InsyaAllah. And I miss my friends. Seeing them soon at the end of the month. Can't wait, literally. =D

Children of mine.

I don't have much money atm, so this cheap custom-made key chain is the only thing I can afford for now. But she loves it nevertheless. =)

Diriwayatkan, Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda ketika ditanya sahabat:

Sahabat : Kepada siapakah aku harus berbakti ?

Nabi SAW : Ibumu ..!

Sahabat : Kemudian Siapa Lagi ?

Nabi SAW : Ibumu.!

Sahabat : Kemudian kepada Siapa Lagi ?

Nabi SAW manjawab lagi : Ibumu .!

Sahabat Bertanya lagi : Kepada Siapa Lagi …?

Nabi Menjawab : Ayahmu…!!

Begitu tinggi derajat ibu di mata Allah dan Nabinya. Dan suatu kewajiban bagi umat Islam untuk menghargai, mendoakan dan berbakti kepada ibu.

Baked oreo cheesecake

2011-05-01T11:24:00.003+08:00

It's been a while since I last baked anything or updated anything in here. Been busy the past 2 weeks with courses, upcoming exam and of course the never ending school workload.

Took the opportunity during the labour day weekend to try a recipe of Oreo cheesecake. The recipe was so plain and easy! It was for a New York cheesecake but I had some Oreo at home and being an Oreo lover that I am, I modified the recipe. Also, I added some golden syrup with sour cream as the topping for the cake. I also toned down the quantity of the sugar so that it won't be too sweet. Gotta take care of our body, right? Because giving up cheesecake altogether is just wishful thinking.

Overall the recipe turned out pretty okay. The cake is smooth and creamy, but next time I will reduce the number of eggs used because I insist that I taste too much egg in the cake although nobody else did. Baked this around 9pm last night, this morning there's less than half a tray left. Success? Maybe. Hungry barbarians in the house? Definitely!

Here is the simple recipe, if anyone wants to try it.

Ingredients:

Crust

Crush butter cookie with some melted butter. Spoon into the pan and spread them evenly.

Cheesecake

2 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

3 Tablespoons sugar
8 oz. sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Beat cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with mixer until smooth. Pour into well greased 9 inch pie plate. (p/s: I just place the oreo biscuits all over/in the batter and some crushed oreo on top as a decoration)

2. Bake 22 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees F. Turn oven off. Remove cheesecake and cool for 5 minutes.

3. Combine 3 Tablespoons sugar, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over warm cheesecake and return to oven for 5 minutes. (p/s: I added some golden syrup here)

4. Cool and refrigerate.
