I admit to feeling stress lately with work..., ..it started early of the year and some time between end March and early April I guess I reached the height of it that I went to see a doctor as I was worried about my health. Alhamdulillah it was not that bad...BP and sugar level ok..she said I just "need to take things easy and don't think too much". :-) ..., but I really needed to get

Sometimes when I'm tired I'd think about happy things...and thinking of my younger nieces could always lower my stress level, make me forget my tiredness...., and this was what I did earlier :-) During last Eid celebration..in her "Najwa Latif's tudung style" This was her "acting" like she didn't want her photo taken...hehe.. Photo sent by her mum a couple of years back.

Last weekend didn't do much activity, instead was glad to receive and welcome guests on Saturday and Sunday...been a while since guests were entertained at the house (was told that from my FB status they could see me being here and there most weekends..hehe..sorry) So I'm sharing some photos taken few weekends back. 500m seemed further :-D But finally... That was "

It's almost a year ago that my friends and I traveled south to Sydney, Australia (our first choice was Melbourne but we got cheaper tickets for Sydney..hehe..) I'd been to Sydney once but many years before, so I didn't mind making a "repeat" trip. :-) Been putting off postings for this trip but before I go for my next ( ehem ) destination I'd better update this one first. See...

Was in my hometown (again) for a week, and became "part-time nanny" to my nieces ... hehehe ... :-D And my way of entertaining them? One day we went for bowling : Their scores and mine...hehehe... ******************* and the next evening we went to the beach, I had the fun flying their kites for a while...hehe..

Weekends on the road

2013-03-01T22:23:00.000+08:00

When its gonna be my really free "stay-at-home" weekend? I feel like I've been here and there since November 2012...2 years in running and in active mode...(2012 and now 2013..got it??? hehehe...) The previous two weekends were spent "holidaying" at my hometown ~ 10 days away...hmmm, how nice. This week am back at my work place and the weekend "away" routine continued. Last

Don't put off...

A reminder to me... Last night my first hunch was to wear a black dress today but I changed my mind and ironed my pink "baju kurung" instead, hoping that the "sweet" colour would cheer her up when I go to visit her. Later last night I sent her a short message at whatsapp, thought we could chat...but receiving no answer I assumed that she had slept. This morning I packed this

Morning views

2013-02-01T14:35:00.000+08:00

Was out on Monday morning to buy breakfast for the family, and couldnt resist making a slight de-tour, just to see this : "Crystal Mosque" Entrance to "Islamic Monument Park" The de-tour didn't take long as the place was just nearby our house, so no..the breakfast didn't turn cold...hehehe. "HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL!" :-)

Just a few chapters..."Secrets to the...."

2013-01-30T18:14:00.000+08:00

Attempting to read this book since my "great escape to.."... The synopsis caught my interest when I saw it at the book shop : So far I find the story quite interesting.....though to date ~ a week later..I have yet to reach the first 50 pages..hehe..., and I have another 480 pages to go ... ha ha ha .... I really have to find time to read it before I turn to last chapter

"Great escape to...."

2013-01-24T21:35:00.000+08:00

..my hometown.. :-) Taking a few days off for a bit of TLC, bit of fun and spent time this afternoon cooking...another of my favourite "de-stress" activity. Cooked this "Laksa Johor" that mum had second helpings both during lunch and dinner just now...and I feel good...hehehe.. :-)

A little squeak..... "hi...hello...allo allo"!

2013-01-22T08:46:00.000+08:00

In "silent mode" lately as I've been stressed with work for past few weeks that at one point I burst into tears in my corner ...just to release the stress (and it did help as I felt better and calmer after that...) :-) [ ~ NOW I could grin recalling that!] I know I shouldn't let myself be too stressful....I even said to my boss "not to pressure me too much..I'm stress!" ...hahaha..

2013 : A new year

In KLCC vicinity

2013-01-02T21:24:00.000+08:00

Decided to join some friends at KLCC the other day..they just finished their KL Hop-on Hop-off experience and were having their lunch there. "The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers (Malay: Menara Petronas, or Menara Berkembar Petronas)" "The building was officially opened by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia's Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad on 1 August 1999".

Kinabalu Park (2) - Mount Kinabalu.

2012-12-31T21:28:00.000+08:00

"Mount Kinabalu is the most dramatic feature in Sabah and the tallest peak between the Himalayas & the New Guinea. Towering at 4,095 metres (13,435 feet), Mount Kinabalu exerts a magical quality that is both indescribable and unbelievable. The granite peaks are constantly veiled in wisps of clouds" What we should see was something like this google image: But although the weather was sunny

After a couple of hours of journey from Kota Kinabalu, we reached the Kinabalu Park..hoping to see Mount Kinabalu :-) My ever faithful model..8-year old niece, Batrisyia :-) To be continued... :-)

Eating session (2)...and walkathon

2012-12-28T12:39:00.000+08:00

This was a potluck do and we had variety of food contributed by the friends who turned up I guess I'd over indulged myself especially with the cakes, ice-creams, trifle, apple crumble etc...hehe.. However before the desserts were served, we had the chance to reduce a bit of the "kgs" gained earlier...a Walkathon was organised after the 'Asr prayer. Odd one

Eating sessions with friends (1)

2012-12-26T07:27:00.000+08:00

First it was a "dim sum" on Saturday Some of us were quite hungry by the time we reached the place., luckily some friends who had reached there earlier had ordered first..., but I didn't bother with taking photos much....hahaha.. By the second set of order, we had slowed down...hehehe... Had an enjoyable time with good friends...and were quite full after few hours there

One sunset in Kota Kinabalu

2012-12-21T00:17:00.000+08:00

It was getting dark when we made our way back to the apartment, and I managed to capture a few photos of sunset from the moving bus :-) and I simply love these.. :-)
