Selamat Hari Raya dan Maaf Zahir Batin kepada semua umat islam... Although today is the 21st day of Raya, the mood is still there (especially during weekends hehe). Banyak perkara jadi pada musim raya tahun ni. First thing is that Mak Sabar telah pulang ke rahmatullah pada 29/9/2008 exactly 2 days before raya. It's not shocking though cos' arwah has not been well for quite sometimes and her condition deteriorated 2 weeks after puasa. Ayah n Mama went back to Penang 7 days before she passed away to sent Mak Ngah and I didn't get the chance to visit arwah back then cos' I was tight up with my reporting and to travel with Danial over the weekend would be too exhausting. Nevertheless my pray would always go with arwah... sedar tak sedar dalam tempoh 2 tahun ni, 2 of my aunts had passed on and both were Ayah's younger sisters. Sesungguhnya ajal dan maut itu ditangan Allah SWT dan semoga kita sentiasa bersedia.
This year we spent our hari raya in Melaka.. yayy! lama gile tak balik beraya kat Melaka.. 5 years to be exact. After I got married we'll spent our raya in KL (boringgg) and we'll go back to Melaka only after 2nd raya. Kali ni we all balik 1 day before raya... bestttttt dpt berkumpul ramai2 malam raya :) but of course penat skit cos' the day before that we travelled to Penang due to the emergency.. depart at 4.30am and back to KL at 5pm on the same day! Nasib baik Adik was around to take turn to drive from Ayah.
But this year I felt a bit sad towards end of puasa.. hati mula terasa rasa what if aku tak bertemu lagi Ramadhan tahun depan?? puasa tahun ni terasa sgt bermakna buat diri aku n i don't feel that happy to celebrate hari raya because it is sad for me to leave Ramadhan. Mungkin Ramadhan aku kali ni tak sesempurna orang lain but I'm really looking forward and hope to improve my ibadah in next year's Ramadhan.. Semoga aku bertemu dengan Ramadhan tahun hadapan insyaAllah..

Sungguh jahat orang itu
aiyoh lama gile tak update.. too much things going on lately n too much things to write about.
So I'll try to summ up all that happened n will elaborate further later:
Mama and Ayah
early last month mama n ayah went to UK to visit abang. it's a yearly activity for both of them to spend 1+ mth over there. but this time around it may take longer cos' abg baru je tukar keje (from Sheffield to Manchester) same goes with kak maya and adlyn yet to get a place at the nursery (fully book). they will only come back early of August, insyaAllah...
Birthday Hubby
on 27/6/2008 was dear hubby's 30th birthday.. I didn't get him anything (well, no need to wait until birthday to give ur love ones special things right??) so during the weekend we all just had a very nice dinner kat Victoria Station.
eeee GERAM
the most hot story skang ni is about my d**n MAID yg telah disyaki MENCURI harta aku! in fact it's not disyaki lagi tp yg confirm is that dia dah kepau duit tabung danial. cil***k punya indon mmg ular kepala dua dia ni. but right now both me n hubby tgh nak cari evidence yg lain since my wedding necklace that went missing last few months could be stolen by her as well. yg buat stress tu aku tak boleh nak bertindak dulu skang ni sbb my parents blm balik n no body can take care of danial kalau we all hambat dia balik indon.
dear hubby pon suruh aku sabar dulu sementara kami mengatur plan B. tapi tu la yg sakit tu, bila balik rumah je aku kena buat cam biasa sedangkan dlm hati ni mmg dah benci btul nak tgk muka minah tu (dah muka buruk... perangai pon buruk isk2). ni la dia manusia, bab keje mmg tade masalah... tp perangai belakang yg aku dgr dari jiran2 - berhutang sana sini, menipu, dan mengata kami sebagai majikan (last few mths she was crying to the other maids konon2nya mak dia mati tp kami ni kejam tak bagi dia balik indon... sedangkan dgn we all dia ckp kakak dia mati! mmg aku doa biar btul2 mak dia yg mati since currently her children are take care by the mother)... huh, sabar2... we are going to send her back by end of the mth.. since gaji bulan June dah byr, I'm not going to pay her July salary.. rasakan.
aku mmg solat hajat setiap malam minta pembalasan yg sebaiknya kepada makhluk yg mengkhianati kami... n i really want my wedding necklace back if she still have it :(

Bar Stool Economics
I've found that this article very interesting and totally agree with it lebih2 lagi semenjak dua menjak ni bila negara kita dirudum masalah kenaikan harga barang. I can't help it but to mention about the irrational decision make by our 'beloved' Government to increase the oil price to RM2.70/liter. Anyway, back to this article, it pretty much would reflect what might happen to this country if our 'creative' Government stop using their brain...in fact they just need to stop being creative and just go back to plain common sense please...
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Hi's and Goodbyes
Months come and go.. pejam celik dah masuk bulan June... half into year 2008.. ya Allah 6 bulan dah berlalu n it feels just like few weeks back I welcomed year 2008. Lagi 2 bulan Danial akan berumur 2 tahun, wow that's fast! n me n hubby are trying to get pregnant again, n hopefully (really full of hope!) tak lama lagi boleh la bagi Danial adik :) insyaAllah
Well dekat ofis pon things are changing definitely.. this month alone we are going to bid farewell to Fadzli and Sarah.. kurang lagi finance auditor kat GIA, n it means more works for us who left..ouch! But we do have new people joining - Kak Ilia who has joined us couple of weeks ago and another lady (finance auditor) who'll be joining this month.
But anyway to Fadzli and Sarah, take care, all the best and do cherish the moments that we had in GIA - especially AAN (kerja keras n paint ball team.. committee rules!) and KKGIA (hehhee it was fun! pasni boleh la buat alumni bak kata Amar). Adios frens..

Sang Pencinta
Aku mmg admire M.Nasir dan hasil nukilannya.. Lepas dengar Toi AF6 nyanyi lagu ni, only then aku realize that the lyrics is so deep and meaningful - Sang Pencinta, hanya dia merasa semangat sebuah pengorbanan..
Menanti satu detik pandangan magis mu
Cukup untuk meredakan rindu duniawi
Segala dugaan dan pesona
Menjadi irama indah
Kesakitan ragaku
Berlalu pergi tiada bererti
Pada Mu jua tertuju segala jalan
Pada Mu jua cinta ku serahkan
Kerna hati seorang pencinta
Pandangannya satu
Matanya hanya melihat dia
Yang melihatnya hanya dia kekasihnya
Sang Pencinta
Hanya dia merasa
Semangat sebuah pengorbanan
Sang Pencinta
Hanya Dia mengerti
Persoalan percintaan ini
Cinta ini rela menderita
Agar rindu batinnya terubat
Mengenang dia cinta yang dipuja
Mengenang dia cinta yang diredha
Hanya dia mengenang dia hanya dia

Pawana
Bermula sebuah cerita
Di zaman dulu kala
Mudahnya sederhana kehidupan
Mereka riang sentiasa dan gembira
Tanpa duka
Waktu berpesta pawana pun melanda
Meresap fikiran dan jiwa
Berubahlah semua
Jadi sombong serta alpa
Semua inginkan kuasa
Rebut dengan sengketa
Yang lemah jadi hamba
Berpecah antara mereka
Musnah di hembus pawana
Begitulah kisah hidup
Dari zaman ke zaman
Pawana menghembus akan hati insan
Cinta musnah dihembus pawana
Keinginan menghancur manusia
