2 decades.

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;)

As written as the title of this entry, it's been 2 decades i've been living on this world. Alhamdulillah. thank you Allah for giving me a great life, great family, great friends.

13.1.2013

That was the date of my 20th birthday. what a unique date isn't it? :DDD

First of all, I'm so thankful that after living for 20 years as His khalifah, i finally got the chance to be one of the Malaysia's Blood Donor. :)) Wheeeee~

and i've got to know that i've got the same blood type as my close friends Hasanah and Shera. which is blood type B. ;)

Oh ya, not to forget, the very first birthday gift i received was from Norshahira Azahar a.k.a. Shera. She gave me a bottle of Swans shaped Origami, with a birthday wish written on them as seen below. :D

the second one was sent through twitter. how sweet of you two Yeanna and Mira. :D

the cutest one was a Hippo pencil case given by Fatin Nabilah a.k.a Bell. :DDD

while Hasanah gave me a glass and Fiza gave me her hand made clay gift. :D

okay, it's obvious that my friends are just too creative in selecting a gift. ;'D

Last but not least, my mum gave me a mobile phone, the same model she gave me back in 2011 for my 18th birthday, which is Nokia 1280. HAHA. She forgot that she had once presented me the same model back then. How cute of her. ;'D
Even though all these presents are seem not that expensive compared to any other kids might got for their birthday, but i still love them and appreciate their effort in showing me how much they care for me :)

Okayy, this is the 2nd time ever i didn't celebrate my birthday with my family. The first time was during last year. i could still remember how Hasanah and her housemate Nurul Farhana tried to trick me in order to surprise me that night. She SMS me to come over to their house and teach her how to do the Accounting assignments. heh. xD


My birthday this year was on Sunday, the day after the 'Kemahiran Insaniah' programme. I didn't went back home on that weekends, but i went overnight at Bell's house in Port Dickson with Lyeanna, Mira, Intan and Bella instead.
The five of us went to the beach that 'morning' together with Bella's grandma, called as 'Atok'. Her grandma is around 70++ years old, yet she's still so energetic, cute, and funny when making jokes with her Kedah's dialect. OH, the best part was that she treated us the banana boat ride! Wheeeee~ :P 

The girls asked me to teach them on how to bake the Red Velvet cake. thus, Pet(Bella's BF) fetch and brought us to TF supermarket to buy the ingredients on that evening. We then started our baking activities after the Maghrib prayer. :) 

and Tadaaa~ here's the result of our Red-Green Velvet cake. ;)

The next morning, the girls together with Bell's little sisters sang the birthday song for me which actually almost made me burst into tears. LOL.

On that night, after finished baking, we went to Pet's Burger Bakar stall by Wawa's car. Afterwards, we went to PD Waterfront for the so called 'photo-session'. Theeheee~ :D

 Bella was trying to show me the stars that she wished to give me. LOL!

The next day, after having the cake, we  had a stroll in Bella's father's fruits orchard at the back of their house. :)

cool isn't it? who said engineers never know how to plant trees? ;)

Bella's dad sent us to the bus station that afternoon after finished mowing the grass. We took a bus to Seremban, and then Manja fetch us at the Terminal. We went back to Pilah and had dinner at Melang Port before arrived at our campus in Beting.

Right after we arrived at campus, we're back to our scary 'hectic life'. We spent the night study-grouping at Anjung since we've got a Statistics test on the next two days. Woohooo~

And that's the end.

With that, i'd like to end my very first entry of 2013 by thanking all of you for adding colours in my life. :)

the smile on your face. ;)

السّلام عليكم

 Peace be upon YOU! ;)

What is this cake for? Don't you remember, in my previous entry "final exam result is out!" i've told about what a friend of mine, Bell has suggested on rewarding our parents instead of being rewarded.

So here it is! i finally bake a favourite cake of my mum last night. Yes, i admit that i'm not an expressive person. What i mean is that, i can't really convey my feelings, how much i love the people around me. Thus, this is the only way for me to show how much i care about them, other than sending SMS messages or wishing cards.

One of the best moments in life is when we could draw a smile on our parents' face. And alhamdulillah, indeed i was really glad seeing my dad smiled after reading what's written on the cake. ;)

"The smile on your face let's me know that you need me. There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me". Okay now these lyrics have stucked in my head. HAHAHA.

Till then, c ya! Now i'm going to have a Red Velvet Cake for breakfast! :DDD

If you'd love to try the recipe of this cake, do check out my previous entry on the Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe >>> HERE!

celebrating teacher's day at school!

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;) 
Last Wednesday, on the 16th May 2012, Muzaireen, Amirah Diana, Niezwan, Sufian, Fikri, Hafiz, Aidil, Qutbi, leman, and I went to our beloved secondary school, SMK Gombak Setia. :D
At first, we [all 5 Sejahtera 2010 students] planned to organize a so called reunion at the Kemensah Heights. So that we could picnicking, barbecuing, etc. Everyone agreed with the plan. but then, after all UiTM, Matriculations, IIUM, and UTP students have had our Semester Break, there were still a few of our classmates at other private universities and colleges doesn't had their sem break yet. Thus, only a few of us attended the event. However, we eventually decided to meet up at school on the Teacher's Day instead of picnicking at the waterfall.
We had set the time to meet up at 11 a.m. , but as expected, Malay Promises a.k.a. 'Janji Melayu' is always fulfilled in a 'timely manner'.HAHAHA. Around 12 noon, we showed up at the school and watched the teachers playing all those typical 'teacher's day games' which was conducted by our classmate, Syarifhidayat, who's still studying there in Upper Form 6. :)
 

P/S: i'm jealous because when i was still a student of this school, the menu was not this long. and the canteen tender was always under a very bad management. huh~

We waited at the canteen untill the teachers finished participating in all of those activities scheduled. At 2.30 p.m. then only the teachers finished watching the podcast video of speech from the Education Minister if i'm not mistaken. Yet, our patience worth the time consumed. Our former class teacher, Mrs Latifah Hamid kindly gave us quite a big sum of money to buy KFC! muahahaa~ *evil laugh*

Thus, we had KFC as our lunch with this beloved Maths teacher of our class.

Aside from that, i also brought my own homemade Red Velvet Cake. Just like the previous years, i am always given the task to bring a cake during our potluck gathering.

oh ya! i almost forgot to tell that 16th May is Syarifhidayat's and Hafiz Nordin's birthday. Therefore, Mrs Latifah requested for them to cut the cake for her. :D Seeing those two boys cuting the cake indeed reminds me so much to their so called 'surprise' birthday party back in 2008 at Sufian's house which was also organized by me. :')

nothing much changes at Syarif's style, he is still the old 'cute' him. :P but Seeing Hafiz's 'Hard Hair Look' back in those teenage years, almost made me laugh out loud. :DDD

while the cutie little Niezwan in the picture up here is no longer exist. He's now have grown up into a mature guy. ecehh~ :P

okay, back to the teacher's day celebration thinggy, oh ya, Mrs Latifah's daughter, Yasmin Hanani were there too during the celebration. She's waiting for her mum to go back home together. but the funny part was, my friend, Niezwan kept teasing her by pretending to 'seduce' her. :P and then my teacher asked, "so what about Syazana? Where would you put her?" LOL! somehow she still remember the gossips that used to spread in our class back then. ;)

After we finished eating those KFC's chickens, there were still half of my Red Velvet Cake left. So my teacher asked each and everyone of us like. . . "Amirah, do have some more cakes." but everyone refused not to eat some more and pretend to be so full. She eventually said, "Fatin, i'll bring this remaining cake home okay?" :P hambek kau~ kunun ada lah baki untuk mereka bawa pulang ke rumah. xD

Not long after that, she decided to go back home. and thus, we made our way to KL Festival City a.k.a. KLFC to spend some more time together. Since it was quite late, so we decided to just window shopping and not to watch any movie.
but it wasn't just a 'window shopping' for Aidil. He wanted to buy a new pants since Niezwan's Iced Tea had spilled on his white pants that he was wearing. That's why he kept covering up the pants with his hand like this >>>

However, he couldn't find a pair of pants that suits his style and his 'wallet' as well. :P so he end up not buying any new pants. but somehow he bought a sweater instead??? whattafish???!!!

After accompanying Aidil to find a brand new pants for himself, and helping out Hafiz to find a handbag for him to present it to his girlfriend, we went to an arcade. Eryn, Mira,Apiz, and Aidil were so eager playing with the games there. While the rest went to the bookshop. :) one weird fact about most of my boys ex-classmates is, they really love to read love novels. believe it or not? :DDD Eryn sent me home that evening and that's how the day ends. i slept early that night, since i only slept for 2 hours the morning before, after i've finished baking the cake.

The next day, i accompany Firdaus Salim a.k.a Pedot to another so called 'SCHOOL' of mine, the British Council  Institute. He planned to take up a general English course there in order to improve his English before continue studying. He really wanted to persue his studies in Cairo, after i recommended him to watch the Indonesian movie "Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1&2"!! LOL! Urmm~ Since i used to take up a few classes at BC previously, that's why he asked me to guide him there. Awwwh~ there's no much changes at the British Council. However, those 'cute' looking chinese receptionist are no longer working there. :(

After done at British Council, we went to KLCC to had our lunch. :D I finally ate my favourite mcd Chicken Foldover after almost 4 years[if i'm not mistaken] it was discontinued. Oh, two of our friends, Syuhada and Anis Nadia currently are working at a bakery shop in KLCC. Thus, i called Anis to come over, but she's on off day. and then i called Syuhada Hussin a.k.a Syue too, to come over to the food court since i  brought along 2 slices of the Red Velvet Cake that she craving for recently. So, she came and spent about half an hour with us. She ate one slice of it, and left another one for Pedot. She even tweeted the picture of the cake that i brought for her on Twitter. :P how excited she was!

Hey look! He even bought the novel with the same title with the movie at Kinokuniya that day. How obsessed he is towards that story. :O

we quickly went back home right after that, because i have to babysit my niece Aleena that evening. and that's how the story ends. :D

New baby in da house + Happy Mama Day!

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;) 

It has been almost two weeks since the last entry i've posted here. Yeah, i just had my so called the busiest-week-ever since the first day i'm having this Semester-break-of-doing-nothing i think.

okay, hmmm~ i just don't know how to begin my story. so let's start with my most exciting news i've got this week, which is, i've got a new niece! 

The baby was safely delivered last Friday 11th of May 2012, 6.30 a.m. at Ampang Puteri with a weight of 3.47kg. If i'm not mistaken, as early as 5.30 a.m. my brother has brought his wife to the hospital, while Aleena was sent to my house to be babysit by me. Around 8.30a.m. my aunt, Moksu came to help me out in babysitting the kids. At 9,then only Faheem was sent to my house by his Atok Alias. At first, they both were confused and seems to forget who's this Nek Su (my MokSu). They both were sitting on my lap, 'hanging' on me, and seems not to let me go, not even an inch away. forever! HAHA. but not long after that, my aunt was able to 'seduced' Aleena with the FOOD. as usual! LOL! 

 this picture indeed really portrays how hyper is the REAL Faheem, and how enthusiastic is Aleena towards FOOD. :P

oh, the funny part was, Aleena kept calling me"Mama"! oh my~ i wonder where she learned that word coz her mother called herself as 'ibu'. At 10.30 a.m. my brother came and fetch the kids to their nursery at TM,while Moksu went back home. Mama came back from school earlier than usual today, so she sent me to the hospital at 4.30p.m and then went for her facial appointment around Ampang area. what a coincident, luckily it's just nearby the hospital. :) i had my lunch from the hospital's cafe. while my dinner was the Old Town's Nasi Lemak Rendang. :DDD (my brother's fav.)

Aleena and Faheem were there in the ward too before my parents bring along the kids back to our house that night. Faheem was okay seeing the newborn baby while Aleena was quite jealous. ;) She even answered that she DO NOT WANT a younger sis when my elder sister and i asked her about the baby. ;P

ohh~ by this time, i still don't know whether my brother and his wife have decided a name for the baby or not. My brother has planned to put either the name Fathiyya or Fatiha. but the baby must have the spelling of 'EE' in her name just like the mother and the other two siblings, Faheem and Aleena. hmm~ i wonder how the spelling be for the name Fathiyya & Fatiha would be like, if we put the 'EE' letters. maybe Fateeha. :) and another one is Fateeyya ? okay, this kinda weird.

why not Fateema, Faseeha, or FATEENAH? or as simple as FATEEN! :D but then i would get confused whether they call out my name or the baby's. HAHA.

oh~ on Saturday, both of my sis-in-law and also the baby have come back home from being warded, but the bad news is,, the baby somehow was affected by jaundice then. So that now she has admitted to ward again. :( hoping that she'll get well soon. :')

about my Mother's Day celebration this year, we just had our dinner at home. At first my second brother offered to 'belanja' us at Lanai Kijang, the Bank Negara's cafe. but then it was quite late, the traffic must be darn bad at that moment. So he end up by buying the Papa John's for us. :D

We were too full till we forget to eat the Red Velvet cake that i've bake the night before. :O

So, here is the picture of my home-made cake. :D

YES, i intentionally 'wrote' happy MAMA AYAH day instead of happy mother's day. :D

The reason i use the word MAMA is just to make a different and avoid from using the word "mother". Well, so many Malays recently posted on Twitter and Facebook claiming that it's HARAM to celebrate this celebration. Somehow i just can't accept their reason which is because it's related to the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration. errk, In my opinion, that's what other people in some other countries celebrate it for. Then why should we bother since we didn't celebrate it as well. Some more, if it's really Haram, then why other Muslim countries like Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, etc. also listed as the countries which celebrate Mother's Day?

Yes, i agree that Islam taught us to do good deeds to both of our parents all the time, and pray for them as well. I never forget that, but once in a while, isn't it nice to show your love by giving them presents or as simple as giving a wishing card? So, during their birthdays or mother's day and father's day are just the perfect time to cheer them up. :)

sorry if i made anyone dissatisfied with my opinion. It's just an opinion of mine. I know who's the one who raised this issue in our country. I can't deny that i do like his talks. :) however, i don't really agree with him in this issue. Wallahualam bissawab~

Oh ya, i almost forgot to explain about the word 'ayah' there. :D i put it up just because when i was decorating the cake, somehow i thought that my dad might feel hurt if i only celebrate my mum. Some more, i won't be around during the Father's day and my dad's birthday this year. :( his birthday is on the 13th of June, and my Semester break will be ended on the 10th. :O Thus, why not if i put the word 'Ayah' (which means Father in Malay language) there on the cake too. :D

and that's the end! :D

baking class with fatinissocoollike :D

السّلام عليكم

PEACE be upon YOU! ;) 

teeheee~ since most of UiTM students have got a plenty of time during this semester break, an old friend of mine requested for me to teach her the secret recipe of baking the Red Velvet Cake.

okay, let me introduce her! :)) Her name is Nur Amira binti Amran! :D we have been friends since we were in Standard 2[8years old] when i entered the so called 'sekolah agama' at SRA Attaqwa. We were not that close back then, but we do kept in touch after i quit from the 'sekolah agama' through the internet. We kept on interacting since the 'golden age' of Friendster, YM, then Myspace, and eventually Facebook.

oh, She studied at UiTM too! but at the Puncak Alam branch and she had just finished her foundation program. 

So here are some of the pictures i took after we successfully bake it, frost it,and decorate it! ;)

i can't deny that we had so much fun there by chatting, and sipping, and munching, and laughing, and window shopping for over five hours! :O

HAHA. we were both don't even noticed that we had consumed so much time without buying anything other than food and drinks. ;)

after we had lunch at the Chicken Rice Shop, then only we went to the Econsave supermarket to buy some ingredients for our so called 'baking class'. :P

so here are some pictures at the chicken rice shop that we had snap. waa~ it has been quite some time i didn't had a meal at this restaurant. the last time when i was still in primary school i guess. ^_^
