Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

For me, this year's fasting month flew by so fast. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours, hours turn to day, days to turn to month and without realizing, today is the last day of Ramadhan and tomorrow, we'll be celebrating Aidilfitri.

In conjunction of Hari Raya, may I take the opportunity to wish all family and friends a Happy Hari Raya, maaf zahir and batin. Sekiranya ada silap dan salah, terkasar bahasa, minta ampun banyak-banyak dari hujung rambut ke hujung kaki. Maklumlah, saya ni seorang manusia biasa yang tak lepas dari kesalahan. Enjoy your Hari Raya with your loved ones... Hugs and kisses.

it's a BOY!!

My colleague / partner in crime / very good friend, Said Alkatiri and his wife, Zara, recently welcomed a Baby Boy to their lives namely Muhsin Alkatiri on 03/09/09. Congratulations!!!

Sick Boyfriend

My dear boyfriend had been sick for for the past few days... He felt the symptoms since Tuesday, after he picked me up from school. He told me that it could be due to the food that he ate during break fast. At first he was having sore throat, then turned to cough, then he got fever. When I broke fast at his house on Wed, his condition got worst. Friday was supposed to be his Shift 1, he still had yet to recover. He went to the polyclinic to see a doctor and he was given 3 days MC. All in all, he was sick for 5 days. While he was sick, he stayed at home to recuperate. I haven't met him but when he called me just now, he told me that he is feeling better. He still has the coughs though. I hope u will get fully well soon, Dearest!

Air Pistol Shooting

Recently, I got myself involved in air pistol shooting...

How I got myself into this?
Home Team Western Sector requires ladies to fill up the ladies categories in the Home Team Inter Sector Air Shooting Competition. So, Kak Kamisah called me and asked me whether I'm interested to join. Knowing Kak Kamisah, she always takes part in fun activities and so, I'm all up for it. She asked Ira to join also. Together with Ira, we went for the one day training shoot at Bukit Batok Home Team NS. It turns out to be fun. Even after shooting the 50 palettes, it felt that it wasn't enough for us.

After one day of training shoot, the competition day arrives, which was yesterday, 25 August 2009. It was a half-day event held at Bukit Batok Home Team NS. Home Team Southern Sector took all of the first place medals, except for Mens Open Speed Shooting. They really put in so much effort for the competition. I heard they conducted plenty of training. I guess they had to considering they are the event organizer.

Home Team Western Sector did not so bad after all. Despite most of us doing this for the very first time, we got at least third placing. The shocker was when I at least got to bring back home a bronze medal for the Womens Open Speed Shooting. It was a really a nice surprise for all of us in the category. We didn't expect to win anything.

Air pistol shooting is all about a game of patience, mind endurance and accuracy. When you're able to put in the palettes at your intended target, the sense of achievement is there. So, do give it a try... For me, try everything at least once.

It's a GIRL!

Halijah safely gave birth to a baby girl on 30th July 2009... Ira just sent me a MMS pic of the baby, she's so CUTE! She really looks like Halijah. Can't wait to see Halijah and the baby in person =)

Latest Updates

I realized that the last time that I had updated my blog was more than a month ago... Well, a lot had been going on lately. Work gets piling up and responsibilities are getting more and more especially when they're pumping in more manpower into the team. Means new peeps in the team. There's pros and cons to this. On the hind side, with more people, others can get to take and clear leaves. On the other side, there are a lot of things to impart on the newbies and they have a lot to learn. There's also "prawn behind the stone" direct translation of Malay "udang di sebalik batu", meaning there is an underlying meaning to this. Words are getting around that my workplace will be opening another resource. Till that day comes, let's enjoy the plenty of manpower that we're having at the moment.

School had also commenced. Another round of assignments datelines to meet. Lots of studying to do... I actually took up 5 modules this semester so that I'll be on track of completing the degree in 3 years. It's a lot of stuffs but with the support and love around me, it helps me to strive forward and push myself by thinking that I can do it...

Recently, I got in touch with my long-lost primary school friends like Syarifah, Ain, Juliana, Suzana and many more. Kudos, to Facebook. Some were surprised to know that Said and I got together. Well, God have His ways of putting two people together and play His game of fate. It's really a blessing in disguise for me of all that had been going on. I hope catching up with my primary school friends face-to-face is made possible one day. We're still in the interim of planning it.

Till the next post... Good Night to All!

Knock You Down - Cover Version

This song is my current favourite. It's in my head over and over again. Luv this version... The girl is so pretty. A very talented couple with both having a great voice! Enjoy...



Lyrics
Keep rockin', and keep knockin'
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate, that they're servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?

I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in, and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I'm a race
But I already won first place

I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did
(As hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinkin' bout our life our house and kids, yeah
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
'Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down
Knocked me down

Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)

I never thought I'd, hear myself say, ooh, ya'll gon' head
I think I'm gonna kick it wit my girl today, kick it wit my girl today
I used to be commander and chief
Of my pimp ship flyin' high, flyin' high)
Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky
(Oh shot me out the sky)

Hey, now I'm crashing, don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could back, and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would baby if I could
Miss Independent, ohh, to the fullest, the load never too much
She helpin' me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight
Girl sometimes love

Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)

Won't see it coming when it happens, hey
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love knocks you down

Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love knocks you down

Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)
