Decision Making

Making decision is never easy, especially when many things will be at stake if you mistakenly choose the wrong option! And now I am honestly in a deep deep thoughts of making a decision that could change my entire life... so in the midst of deciding, I realised that

D - defining what you want in life is very very important
E - experience is always the best way to learn
C - confide in people that you thrust ONLY
I - instinct is an internal guide for a human
S - silence is NOT an agreement
I - integrity is the key to lead a happy life now and here after
O - opportunity sometimes come only ONCE
N - no one is responsible for any decision or action that you take but YOURSELF

so all I am saying is.... whether I decide to DO or NOT TO DO, I just have to be prepared with the consequences of both outcomes!

Special Notes: Thank you to the FOC consultants who has helped me along the way in making my decision.... your kind understanding, willingness to listen, time spent... It is truly an honour to me to have been blessed with friends like you......

This is a cake to signify Adriana now officially a child, no longer an infant! And she shared her cakes with her auntie, Mak Lang!

This is Mak lang with baby Irfan (her 1st child, my only nephew on hubby's side), actually she is in her "pantang"!


This is baby Adriana (opsss... now no more).. and her sister Lina enjoying the "balloon cake"


This is Idzham (my only nephew on my side), his 4th birthday cake actually is a football field, but full of chocolate rice with footy goal and players! The walnut covered cake is for the adults to enjoy! The hubby girl in blue+white t-shirt is Zulaikha, my only niece on my side... isn't she chubby?


we also have balloons and some "surprise-party-pack" for the kids, this is of course at my house... compliments of my hubby - he loves to do all this "surprise" elements..



Oh... and this special message is from all of us to ayah (my father -in-law):





Happy 58th birthday and we all love you always!

5 reasons why Kimi blog

Finally I have the time to answer to KuE’s tag… I cannot really recall why I blog but the truth is:

1. I started blog after being introduced to “blogging activity” by a dear friend Leilanie (thanks dear) – I began “blog hopping” to some of her favourite links and I feel “the writing spirit” in me blooms again… so that’s it!

2. And now I blog because there are many benefits out of it:- I can exchange ideas, learn something new everyday (from cooking, holiday right to politics), share some ups and down, learn from others experience (happy, sad or confusion) and also how to have fun!

3. I blog because I care to share.

4. I blog because I promise not to let myself being “caught up with life”, i.e just home-work-kids-work-home-kid and on and on…

5. I blog because my life is a story about myself, my family, my work, friends & special people who I care for n love...... so I want to make the most of it…

So yeah… those are my reasons……….

Just what I am looking for!!

I had a really really challenging day today.. It all started with my youngest daughter throw up at 1 am this morning and I have to clean up, change the bed sheet etc… then at 5 am Adilah (my eldest) work us up with rashes all over her body… and she was scratching like a monkey! Adlina, my second, refused to wake up for her school after a week school break.

Reach the University late today, I had to drive around looking for parking. Then there was an argument in the morning class… a friend confronted the lecturer, talking about how disorganized he has been…and so we had a very tensed class!

Then come lunch time and I am tired…and hungry and my phone rang… an auntie is asking for help, to book a flight for her son – as if I own MAS! But again, no problem, I tried to help. After asking clarification on when the date is, how many passengers etc, I’ve up a booking complete with arrangement for wheel chair as my cousin is injured after an accident.

And guess what? They gave me wrong info… they want a flight this evening!! What do I get – “bla bla bla… can you get the booking changed?”… and that is when my phone give me the “BATTERY WEAK SIGNAL”… so I had no choice but to rush the conversation – asking them instead to make the changes… and then pop… my phone just died…

I was looking for phone booth and found one, and managed to call them back, and then I run out of coins, and no shop is selling phone cards anymore… I just had it… I knew my auntie is going to blow off any time soon… I had my Zohor prayer, and I tried to look for any friends who will lend me a phone… Kak Sha, you’re a life saver!

By the way, using Kak Sha’s phone, I managed to get through… but my auntie as expected, refused to talk to me. My injured cousin was on the line. I explain my self to him, that I was in uni etc etc… but NAHHHH of course it does not interest them… as I have FAILED TO ASSIST them in their opinion…

What else can I do? How should I feel or react? What about my time wasted… no studying, no library visit, gone all my plan for 3 hours gap between my lectures… I am just so frustrated, I had to write this out… my grammer may not be right.. I just don’t care. I know somehow my mom will get this “cold treatment” as well from her sister becaused I HAVED FAILED this time…. And gone all my good deeds all this while… I will just be remembered as “THAT COUSIN WHO WORK FOR AN AIRLINE WHO CANNOT EVEN ASSIT US WHEN WE NEED HELP”…

The truth is… I tried, honest to GOD… I know 7 habits says, “work with your circle of influence”… I tried and hence my conscience should be free but I still feel bad…WHY? WHY?

Kimi... calm down, it's now 2.30 pm and 2nd lecture is about to start now… focus focus focus!
