so u think u can joget?

the company hosted a birthday celebration for the CEO last monday. it was taken charged by the HR people. after the news was told to me by colleagues, kak watie and i, we came up with a crazy idea! (normally, it's just her who are always equipped with crazy yet creative ideas. tetiba, yours truly ni pun, ter'masuk' sekali dlm komplot nih!)

wat we had in mind, was basically 'in conjunction' with the Raya mood, not so much in celebrating the CEO's birthday! hehehe.. we got all the Malay colleagues, the sporting ones of coz.. to perform joget with Raya songs. divided into the boys and the girls, we chose duet songs - Suasana Hari Raya (Anuar + Ellina) and Seloka Hari Raya (Hail & Uji).

with only couple of days practising, i would say, we werent THAT bad! at least, the crowd lurved it! hehehe.. dont say, we didnt warn u.. keh keh keh!

PR + BDD - dedicating a poem to the CEO

joget... goyang... jgn tak goyang! i did pretty well myself, with my 2.5inch La Primavera slingback sandals!
me luv u guys long long time..

now, what should we stage during the annual dinner? anyone has ANY crazy ideas worth suggesting?? :P

circle of happyness

despite each and everyone's busy schedule, my BFFs and i, (read: Mate, Uya & Sue) managed to squeeze in a buka puasa get-together. the venue selected was basically based on the convenience of the majority of us. hehe.. Sue had to drive all the way from KL!

2 years back, the potluck buka puasa get-together was done @ Uya's hse in Mutiara Damansara. now, i think, if we were to do the same potluck session, sure tak muat.... since her crib is slightly smaller than the old crib. so, we decided to meet up @ Ikea. the crowd was....... gila ramai!!!!!

as always, it's never a bore, being around close buddies. to add spice to the session, we were joined by Uya's cute lil one - Princess Qalila!

Ramadhan is almost over.. and to be honest, i didnt get to buka puasa with mr. hubby that much, due to his odd working hours. last Thursday, when he was on his offday, we decided to take the kiddos for buka puasa (tho they arent fasting yet!) @ Asam Pedas, The Curve. the food was surprisingly tasty.. hehehe..

after Maghrib prayer, we took the kiddos to the playland. while they were busy playing and being watched by mr. hubby, i sempat la beli another shoes for ms. daughter! hehehe.. i told u i was in need of a sole-therapy.. kalau not for me pun, utk anak pun jadi laaa.. the shoes arent really for Raya. she grows up faster than i thot.. most of her sandals dah tak muat..

p/s: the above pic, top left, bunting ada muka Faizal Tahir! keh keh keh! mr. hubby said, "sudah la tu.. sampaikan bunting pun nak amik gambar!" ;p

on saturday, while most people were busy heading north or south to balik kampung, we had a different route all over. mr. hubby was on night shift, so he was only required to be at work at 11pm. so, apa lagi.. 'tarik' la dia, all the way to Bangi! hehehe..

my sis, who stays in Melaka, is on her 'pit-stop' @ my place, before she heads to her in-law's house in Pahang. the usual routine, whenever she's around, we'll surely go for massive shopping! hahaha..

the journey to Bangi

mr. son and ms. daughter with their new friend. the smallest one would be Nuqman, their cuz. and the last photo, is not an 'entity'! hehehe..

im now exhausted, after a full day of exercising, chasing and being pulled by both kiddos. it's time to count the sheep!

nite peeps!

Ramadhan will leave us, soon..

and, Syawal will be here, in a blink of an eye...

so, in this 100th entry of mine,

i'd like to take this opportunity

to wish all my friends (near or far)

and to all Muslim, around the world..

Salam Aidilfitri... Maaf Zahir & Batin

may you have a blessed and happy Syawal!

Luv Luv,

Shoe-Addict-Mom & Family

taking the leap of faith

was on my way to work this morning, while listening to the regular voices and jokes of Phat Fabes and Ben of FlyFM Pagi Show, when i heard callers calling in to congratulate Ben. he recently got engaged to his long-time girlfriend - Stella.

but, he was asking opinions from all listeners, which was the topic of discussion this morning - How do you know exactly, when u're ready (for the 'big' M word - marriage)?

Ben and Fabes also shared the story of how Ben popped up the question to Stella. it was all romantic and sweet. :) but, of coz, there were funny side of the whole proposal story.

so, few callers called in to share their thots, and words of wisdom. and, i do agree with wat most of them said: u are ready, when u made the decision to ask the other party to spend his/her life with u. now, the statement doesnt only apply to Ben, but also to all couples who are thinking of spending their lives together.

for example, in my case, when mr.hubby (back then, he was still tagged as mr.boyfie) made the marriage proposal to yours truly, without thinking much, i said YES. so, when u feel that it's right, when u feel that it's meant to be, and nothing excites u more than the thot of sharing lives together, u ARE ready.

yes, it's a big risk to take, but hey, wat's life without going thru risks, rite? in the end, it's all about taking the leap of faith.

so, to Ben, congratulations! may u and Stella have a beautiful life together as husband and wife.

on a different note, congratulations too, to Stone and his wifey, Ain. they are expecting their 2nd child. Ain, take good care.. hope u'll 'pass thru' the 1st trimester sickness!

p/s: i told u, almost everyone i know is preggy now! ;)

sole-therapy

im in serious need of some sole-therapy!
Raya is just around the corner..
so, i need 'that' new 'something' for me to strut in!
p/s: baju raya takde, yg penting is the shuzzzz! (shallow huh????)

and, im giving a lot of thots to expand my red-shoes collection.. ;)
hmm, but then again, maybe i should just stick to black or brown! huhuhuhu

these are from Aldo. so, which one should i get..? i still have more to choose from.. but the uploading is a bit sloooooooow.. *sigh*

Ramadhan updates

im back from hiatus, my 'messy' hiatus to be exact. nothing much happened for the past week. my mind is still a bit unstable, and my headaches aren't going anywhere.. *sigh*

however, i did get to spend some time 'buka puasa-ing' with close buddies.. and, catching up with friends is always a cure for my stress..

so, on 12.09.08, sue and i had our buka puasa @ the 39 Restaurant, PNB Darby Park - an invitation i got from Encik Terence Paul of FlyFM/HotFM. the view (from 39th floor) was breathtaking, especially during sunset. nice ambience, and thanx to sue for being a great company.... BUT, the buffet line was........ nothing to shout about.

snapped by yours truly! hehe.. boleh pakai ke??

another one snapped by yours truly. errmm, not bad??

other amazing shots were taken by sue. how come they dont look this nice when i clicked the camera?? :P

sue chit-chating with Tini of HotFM
pretending that the 'otak-otak' was yummy! :P

with Terence

on 15.09.08, i got another invitation from ASTRO. so, i went with the usual 'geng', and since it was hosted by ASTRO, we expected to rub shoulders with some celebs! hehehe.. miz nyna and i, we were soooooo expecting to see Anuar Zain!

we reached the beautiful KL Convention Centre at around 6.30pm (traffic was kind to us). before the whole event started, i got to catch up with Manzerk. and miss spoilbrat, if u're reading this, YES, MANZERK'S DEMUKKKK! hehehhee.. and because i was sooo busy chatting with him, i missed a photo opp with Yusry!!!!! arrrgghh, frustrating!

the buka puasa was actually meant for children from few orphanages. they were the centre of attention, no doubt. and, it gave me a great feeling seeing their happy faces, being celebrated by other people.. owh, the food was scrumptious!

the hall was huge, and after much of eye-squinting, Anuar Zain was nowhere to be seen. hampess! and, to make it worst, Yusry left before we even sempat grab him for a snap! hampess lagi!! :( but, i did bump into the ever-charming Amir Mahmood, and also an old college-mate, Man, whom i dont remember ever speaking to in college. hehehee...

we had the whole table for 10 pax, for just the 4 of us! ;)

09.09.08

today... s**t happened!
today... i felt sick inside my heart, and inside my head...
today... i felt like i was being used for proving my capabilities...
today... i felt sad, tho i was surrounded by happy and sunny people...
today... i began to feel like a slave to the company...
today... i loathed wat i do for living...
today... i felt like doing nothing but QUITTING...
today... i was in my unstable-state-of-mind...
today... i knew, not even a hug could make me feel better...
today... i felt horrible coz not even smiles and laughters from my kiddos could make me feel better...
today... i managed to pull the best-fake-cheerful-face ever...
today... i wanna say je suis désolé to my dear, mr. hubby for being mood-less to talk!
and today... i wanna say je t'aime to my dear, mr. hubby! please bear with ur wifey's current unstable mind...
