Mady's 'Merisik' Ceremony Headed by Maktok and Mak Long 16 May 2009

Maktok Headed the 'merisik' ceremony with the assistance of Mak Long. Pak Su and Maksu, Adik Shahariah and Irwan, and Kak Shiela strengthens the delegations.

It made me so happy because Maktok does not differentiate Mady to any of her other grandchildren. She treated as if Mady was hers.

I would like to show my gratitude to those who have supported us in the event especially Maktok Hajah Salmah, Mak Long Rugayah, Pak Su Hasanol and Mak Su Yati, Kak Shiela, Adik Shahariah and hubby Irwan, also to Pak Ngah who called me the night before the occasion and wishes us with good blessing.

The boys were so glad that Pak Su and Mak Su, Maktok, Mak Long and Auntie Shiela all plan to spend a night at our place. For Adik Shahariah and Irwan, thi is the 5th time they are spending the night with us and we enjoy the closeness very much.

Mama Jane and Kak Ani Penang also show concerned and ask about the wedding plans.

And also to Mama Lang Zainon who cares to ask about the event when we met on the next day on Sunday morning at Kuala Lumpur Mosque.

So it is set the Nikah Ceremony would be held at Surau Taman Sri Serdang because there is where Najwa's mother has her Jemaah. During the Nikah ceremony is where there would be exchanges of hantaran ( 7 trays from the groom and 9 trays from the bride ). The Mas Kahwin set at RM80, a ring for the bride during the 'Batal Air Sembahyang' ceremony and the hantaran would be agreed later between the Mady and Najwa themselves.
The Wedding ceremony on the Bride side would be held in Alor Star Kedah.
While the Wedding on Mady's side will be held in Taman Muhibbah Serdang in early February 2010. I am going for a full pledged wedding ceremony with berinai, bersanding and also makan beradap.
I would expect many very busy days ahead!

Mothers Day @ Istana Budaya

Always Mom
Happy Mother's Day to Maktok

You were my fairy tale princess,
So much larger than life.
You were my angel and my witness
Through all my pain and strife.
At times you made me angry,
Great words I would proclaim
How someday you'd be sorry.
You were the one to blame.

But when I needed comforting
You always found the time.
Your words were more soothing
Than days of childhood sublime.
Now the distance holds us apart,
The boundaries have no end.
I'll hold the memories in my heart.
You're my mother, my best friend.

Few of our family gather to celebrate Mother's Day together at the Istana Budaya Cafe on Sunday 10 May 2009. The families are Maktok, Mak Long, Adik Shahariah and Irwan, Mak Su and Pak Su, and Shareen and hubby.

San Francissco Pizza @ The Mines

Ezzuan Wedding Taman Muhibbah Seri Kembangan

Kopitiam Heritage The Mines with Fahmi, Mady and Wae

Fahmi was the one who introduced me to this place. The boys called the Yakuza! I love the ambience, very cooling and relax atmosphere. There is live performance on every weekends.
The food is good and much better than the Hainan Kopitiam in Ampang.

A break at Lemon Grass The Mines

Just taking a coffee break.

Low- Sleeping Prince !

Cute Low. While you are sleeping on my bed!

Alexis @ The Garden

The Butter Pudding is delicious.

Home Made Roasted Chicken

Wae sponsored the chicken. We feel like having roasted chicken that weekend. I also made mushroom soup with French garlic bread.

Fuji Snow from Teppanyaki @ Equine Park

Best ever. My rating is 9/10 for the Fuji Snow. Should try it for those ABC lovers out there.

'The Last Supper' we had with Mai

s

I have very fond memories of Mai and this is one of them. We had supper at Uncle Chilli's Amcorp Mall just on my Birthday. Here is when she gave me my birthday present. Thanks Mai.

I Go - Aizat

Thanks to Justeen1990, Youtube.

Also thanks to Aizat who rendered that song beautifully. Soundtrack from the movie Talentime.

I GO

So long, fare thee well
The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell
So turn down this bed of stone
Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong

The long December rain is falling now
Running down on streets to nowhere
Music is my life you're my sweetest nightingale
But I can't hear it here no more
And I go
I go

Hush now, don't shake or break
Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave
No matter what they do or say
Lay me on the sleepy meadow by the tracks upon your face

Earth Day 2009

I did not realize that today is Earth Day until I saw the Earth Day logo by Google.

Earth Day, celebrated April 22, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It is held annually during both spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere.
It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.

Rozani an old friend from UPM

Rozani an old friend from UPM has now become the new GM for Weber Shandwick Malaysia.
She took me out for lunch at PJ Hilton recently and we talk about many things especially her family, her career and also about our UPM college days. She looks great!

Congratulation for the new post, Rozani.

The Edge reported. "Public relations agency Weber Shandwick Malaysia has appointed Rozani Jainudeen as its general manager effective April 6.

As Sime Darby Group’s vice-president of communications previously, Rozani was involved in the Synergy Drive merger.

She brings with her more than 15 years of experience in journalism, media and public relations where she managed regional accounts for multinational clients such as Ford Motor Company, Nestle, Intel and Japan Airlines.

“Rozani’s experience and insights, developed over years of agency and in-house experience, are a powerful addition to the company. She brings with her a broad range of skills that will enhance the value of the services offered to our range of specialised clients,” said Weber Shandwick Southeast Asia managing director Baxter Jolly in a statement issued by the agency on April 16.

While the economic climate remains a challenge, Rozani believes it also presents opportunities. “The current financial dislocation across markets has provoked organisations to search for new and more sophisticated means to generate advocacy creation and the public relations sector is at the heart of it,” she said.

Weber Shandwick's local clients include Microsoft, Emirates Airline and Mastercard."

Chillis KLCC on My 47th Birthday

Had a great time! Shall be back for more dishes especially the American Beef burgers.

Low - very naughty boy!

I feel like kissing him right now. Lazying around on my bed.

Hainan Station near Ampang Point for lunch

First and last!. The worst 'Chendol' we ever tasted. The fried Kway Teow that we ordered are too 'Malay' style rather than Hainan. We were expecting something else! Do something Management!
