Nur Kasih marathon

Got hooked on it cuz of Shasa and daymn was it good! loved the story line except for the ending, didn't quite understand why

*spoiler alert- do not read further if you have not watched and plan to watch*

everyone wanted Nur to marry Aidil? She was definitely capable of working and was young too remarry. So I don't get it!! and Islamically also I think it's wrong for the mum and Alia to suggest that to Aidil, psycho!! do u know how hard it is to balance a polygamied (if that's the right word for it) life!! you need to be fair at all times, in time, money, feelings and treatment. Even the best of women still felt jealous at times of the other prophets wives let alone women nowadays laa right?!

But was glad that Nur and Adam finally got their happy ending! Even got Ahmed hooked on it, but had to be the translator the entire time. Now he wants his family to watch it.. isn't there Nur Kasih with Eng subs out there? anyone?

Happy Birthday to my dearest two

A. Frances 11th Dec and Arina 13th Dec

Wishing that the both of you will achieve what you've wished for and may you be blessed in everything you do.

Love you gurls! xoxo

On another note, Glasgow looked very much like in the UK, architecture-wise. But it's also real cold and foggy here but on the bright side Adam's got two friends Hannah and Sophie to play with. He absolutely loves their co. and they eat together and bathed together. It's sooo cute!

Last nite Hawa cooked Sardines with telur dadar and sup ayam, simple but sedap, had that for lunch dinner and breakfast this morning! hahaha and today's menu is ayam masak merah with sayur masak lemak. yeay!!Pics will follow later :)

Life is short

so if things don't work out, then they don't. Why fight? I don't get it. Just remove the element that causes the unhappiness. Right?

Wrong... Sigh... Because there are things which are worth fighting for and there aren't so we need to be smart to pick our battles and make sure we win them :)

OMEC dinner


What's that? Exactly my Q. OMEC stands for Overseas Malaysian Entrepreneur Council and now they've just formed OMECYES, yups the extra is Young Entrepreneur Section and I'm on the committee! :)

So got to London on Thurs after dropping MIL to the airport, she's left for Sudan for about 3 weeks. Then went straight to Shasa's at Fulham Broadway, campak bags and went straight to Westfield to meet her there. I've never been to Westfield but it reminded me of Pavilion which was nice, the point was to buy a dress for OMEC dinner but obviously ended up buying shoes, a coat and a few tops from Uniqlo. Spent a fortune.. sigh

But I absolutely loved the dress and thanx Sha for accompanying me shop, we had dinner at 'Jom, Makan!' had nasi ayam, it was quite nice but the rice was too soft and didn't quite make it for me since we paid about GBP8.50 for it.

Then had classes yesterday, and I made toners, exfoliators, and body butters! Real interesting!! Got back to Sha's and we were rushing since she just started work as she got her visa 2 days ago. Got there in time though and met many lovely people, esp those in the pic. It was a good night with nice food and a lil dancing after :)

Today we made, nourishing nail oils and gels, cuticle oils, anti-acne creams and gels and varicose creams and gels!! So there's lots in store for all of you out there looking for the best quality top raw materials and all au naturale, the characteristic I'm most PROUD of!!

Wait till the website's up and running and you can start placing your orders :)

Also there was this brand we were forced to try cuz of the sales peeps called soap & co. Their products were the thing to shine your nails that we have in Malaysia, Sweet Almond Oil for the cuticles and Dead Sea minerals for the hand lotion and guess what, Sweet Almond Oil came in eighth in the ingredient and dead sea 11th on e ingredient. rigggthhhhhhhh

Happy Birthday Awe, ure 26 now, finally...

When she told me they were coming to the UK cuz Kols (her husband) was gonna continue with a PHD, I was over the moon.

It can be quite lonely here in the UK despite all the added benefits, but at the end of the day you miss what's constant and variant in Malaysia.

Hawa, we've been friends for 13 years now and we've had our ups and downs but I'm glad we are whr we are now. Thanks for your support and never ending advice.

Cant wait to see u soon :)

Raya Haji Weekend

'MSD dulu jom Sha' said I to Shasa, cuz MSD had a small makan2 for eid but we already had dinner plans wd Azz, Dina, Jeghui, Smoque, Liza, Amir and another friend of theirs, forgot his name :)

was so worth it as the sup kambing and the kuah asam was the bomb! I crave for food u can get in Malaysia all the time.

*adam's watching tv as I type with full concentration it's so funny* looks like some power rangers show

then continued to dinner at masala zone, food was alright bt company was good :)

This weekend, my course was on types of skin. Dry, oily, sensitive and combination. We made Body and Face Oil and face serum for each skin type. Real interesting!

On Sat nite, spent a good nite in Shasa's crib, learnt how to cook udang masak lemak from Faezah and sup sayur wid so'un, pisang kering, n dont remember the name of the other ingredients lah. Then we played New Moon!! BEST GILEEEEEEE. Faezah won! and at the same time had a karaoke session too. So cool laah sha nye karaoke set!! so gona get it!!

n my gurls back home, esp pnb gurls, we can skip red box n come to mine, as this karaoke set can have most of the latest songs!! yeay!!

Had dinner wid El, Sal, n Ain at this Caribbean place called Cotton at Exmouth Market, stop at Mount Pleasant ( this is to remind myself as I told the bus guy Mount 'pleasure' AND he couldnt stop smiling)

Adam developed a real bad nappy rash over the weekend. When I got back, tried to change his nappy and put lah E45, Adam cringed and started crying like crazy and was almost shivering. Wow e45's really not good!

N on that list, goes Vaseline, Nivea, Oil of Olay and E45 guys BECAUSE OF its dead ingredients mainly being mineral oil, liquidum paraffinum and the like

We got Virgin broadband, tv and phone line and now we've officially moved out and into our sweet lil boudoir! yeay

P.S. mum missing u loads and hope u can come in January
