My School of Thoughts (On Life and Essential Oils!)

Assalamulaikum wbt. Tahun baru muncul lagi. Dan setiap kali tahun baru datang, bertambahlah setahun lagi umur. Dan untuk tahun 2016 ini, genaplah 3 tahun Ummar pergi untuk menikmati taman2 syurga selepas tahun baru. Dijaga dengan sepenuh kasih sayang oleh nabi ibrahim dan isteri. Ya Allah, cukup indah kehidupan ummar sekarang. Rasanya tidak pernah sekalipun Ummi tuliskan atau kongsikan kenangan akhir kita sekeluarga. Mungkin kali ini hati Ummi lebih tenang dan selesa untuk berkongsi dengan semua orang, satu peristiwa yang langsung tak terduga akan berlaku dalam kehidupan Ummi dan Abah. Ummi akan sentiasa ingat pada malam 1 jan 2013, kita semua pegi rumah pakngah ummar. Makan malam dan kemudian potong kek lebih awal. Satu gambar keluarga pun kita tak amik. Ummi, abah dan kakak keluar tgk bunga api. Ummar tk dpt ikut sbb takut berembun. Malam tu ummi balik tdo dgn ummar kt ruang tamu. Esoknya, kita sekeluarga keluar lagi. Ummi belikan topi, mittens dan booties utk ummar. Ummar by...

Salam and good day to all! Been trying to find time to share this post much earlier. But you know, there's always something getting in the way. Haha. Anyway, I'm sure many of you aren't familiar with My Little Pony characters. Well, I know it because my eldest daughter really love em. So as a surprise over the school holiday, we brought her to meet her fav cartoon characters. We didn't tell her anything. All we said (while getting ready) was: "okay, pakai baju pony tu. Kita nak pegi attend birthday party kawan aryssa" Upon our arrival at Sunway Putra mall, she had this smile on her face; shocked, happy, unbelievable, etc. And the next thing we know, we had her playing all the games and enjoyed the show on stage. To be honest, it's not to my liking to be in a crowd like this and waiting. But for aryssa, there's an exception. It's not always that we have ponies in town, right? Let's recap in photos! We began the journey by registering ...

Assalamualaikum everyone! Do you always experience airliur meleleh dek kerana terlihatkan post kwn2 pasal food kat social media? I do. Always do. Normally when that happened, I will try my best to get it; either by searching the recipe and make it on my own, ask my husband to drive me to the place that serve the food, or simply order online, Suh org bikinkan. Tapi kali ni, i made an effort to make it myself walaupun Perut jauh ke depan dah. The craved food? Tempoyak Daun! Yummy! Let me bring you to my kitchen now. Warning: please have your tissue with you cause you will be drooling. Haha. Okay, selepas kita panaskan kuali dengan minyak, kita masukkan tempoyak yang sudah diblend dengan cili padi. Berapa byk? Terpulang la kat u ols. Nak pedas, nak masam, taruk sendiri. Lepas tu masukkan hirisan bawang merah dalam 3, 4 biji. Sapa suka bawang boleh letak lebih. Then, the anchovies.  Aaaaa and the best part, gives you the aroma! Hirisan daun kaduk, daun kunyit da...

Salam to all! The school holiday is here! Tahniah aryssa sebab berjaya mengharungi tahun satu dengan penuh suka duka. Haha. Well, to be honest, her result was not as what I have expected, but, nevermind, I know she can do better. Anyway, last week was the last school week. It was full of activity. Thanks to the school and the teachers for making an effort to make sure the students spent their time well. Yela, dah takde kelas kan... It started with the school carnival on 14 Nov. Ada macam2 aktiviti. Rumah hantu la, booths selling all sorts of items and of course FOOD! Mak dia jadi panik sekejap sebab terlampau banyak pilihan. Haha. Gemok. They have this sand art booth. But it was prickly hot. I couldn't stand to wait. So I waited at the canteen. Supportive sungguh umi aryssa ni.  Ada pony ride. Kesian dua ekor Pony ni. Nampak keletihan. And nak naik beratur panjangggg. So we skipped. Ada jugak outdoor playground. Panas sungguh. So we skipped too. Yang ni....

Salam to all! June was my last post? Horrible! Okay, to bring back my writing skills, which looks bad nowadays, I shall start off with my unforgettable experience at Plassid Villa, somewhere in Ampangan, Negeri Sembilan. I was being invited by a fren, Mahir, to surprise my BFF for her birthday. It's a weekend getaway, kind of. After a long hard work at the office for an event which has ended, I thought that this might be a good treat for me and my family. Mahir was the masterplan. Me and other BFF were asked to gather some food and items. She is indeed a good planner. Envy her. Our journey to the place takes about 2 hours. I can't remember much about the route, but I know we went through LEKAS Highway. Yes, I was sleeping before we reached TOL AMPANGAN. U may need to buy whatever you want before your journey up to the villa. We bought ice for drinks at a mamak restaurant there. According to my Mr driver aka husband, mamak said shops here all closed by 7pm. Owner o...

Salam to all. It's been a long time ago since my last post. Seriously, I can never imagine life is so hectic nowadays. Please don't get me wrong, as I see this haywire and a little bit of a roller coaster ride in my life, as a blessing given by Allah swt. Syukur alhamdulillah. Aryssa is now in standard one. She's loving it at the moment and I truly hope she will keep her love for education, until she gets enough of it. But of course, she looks as tired as both of us do. By 10 pm, she will no longer be forced to sleep, but instead, asking for us to go to sleep. Amazing. Shakyra is coming to 18 months old. How time flies. Cheeky, petite and sweet, I must say. I praised Allah for this beautiful gift. She's now into food, getting the best out of it, I guess. Just like myself. I love food, what I dont like about them is that they make you fat for loving them. Sheesh. Their father, my husband, Naza, is yet to find ways to keep up with my fatness. Pity him. Despite eating ...
