Spicy Tuna Spagetti

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Wed, 19 May 2010 06:21:00 +0000

I make this for my DH when I am short on time and it is a great fifteen minute meal. The spiciness can be cut down or increased according to personal preference. Simply add more or less hot pepper flakes or cili padi. We both love spicy food, so we add in more cili padi instead of hot pepper flakes. Oh ya, buy good tuna in olive oil and do not drain the oil off.

Ingredients:-

2 cans of Tuna in Oil

2 cans of Chilli Tuna

3 Cloves of garlic minced

1 Small white onion finely chopped

1 Pound tube shaped pasta or spaghetti

1 Teaspoon of red pepper flakes or 3 - 6 nos of “Cili Padi”(Capsicum frutescens). You need to pound the Cili Padi first.

100 ml of Whipping Cream

2 Tablespoons of Olive oil

A dash of Oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil to taste

How you do it:

THE SAUCE

Start a large pot of water on the stove over high heat. In a separate saucepan on medium heat, drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil. Next, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sautee until the onion is clear and before garlic begins to brown. Add in the tunas’s, hot pepper flakes/ cili padi, salt, pepper, whipping cream and a dash of oregano. Cook for at least ten minuets.

PASTA

When the water comes to a boil, add a pinch of salt and cook pasta according to package instructions. Before draining the pasta reserve a few tablespoons of cooking liquid. Add liquid to the sauce, drain pasta and toss in the tuna sauce. Bon Apetit!

Durian Oh Durian ....

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Tue, 18 May 2010 08:01:00 +0000

Siapa yang tak suka makan durian? Sila angkat tangan. Uishh rugi sungguh siapa yang tak suka makan raja segala buah ni. Bau dia memang kuat dan menusuk kalbu. Lagi-lagi kalau dibawa berjalan jauh dan dimasukkan ke bonet kereta. Baunya seminggu pun susah nak hilang.

Tidak seperti durian Thailand yang kita boleh beli dan makan sepanjang tahun, durian kampung ni bermusim. Isi duriannya juga kecil tidak seperti durian Thailand yang jauh lebih besar.

Kami berdua ni memang hantu durian..... lagi-lagi durian kampung. Rasanya memang power dan jauh lebih sedap dari durian Thailand. Kebetulan kami pulang ke kampung dua minggu lepas dan rezeki kami dapat menikmatinya. Apalagi bukan setakat pulun tapi melantak berbiji-biji durian sampai tak ingat. Bukan setakat itu saja, kami juga makan durian bersama nasi disulamkan bersama santan serta gula melaka dan tak lupa juga, kami memakan bubur kacang durian yang dibuat oleh Mama. Sedap sungguh.

Mother's Love

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Sat, 08 May 2010 08:01:00 +0000

As I look back on my life, I wonder did I remember to thank you for all that you have done for me?

For all the times you were by my side to help me celebrate my successes and accept my defeats or for teaching me the value of hard work, good judgement, courage and honesty.

I wonder if I’ve ever thanked you for the simple things, the laughter, smiles and the quiet times we shared?

If I ever forgotten to express my gratitude for any of these things, I’m thanking you now and want to express my love for you and I’m hoping that you known all along how very much you are appreciated.

Your arms were always open when I needed a hug.

Your heart understood when I needed a friend.

Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson.

Your strength and love guided me and gave me the wings to help me soar.

Thank You Mama and I LOVE YOU!!

HER 84th BIRTHDAY

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:14:00 +0000

A painful year has come and gone and still I feel you're here. Every time I pass your door, I shed a silent tear. Now that you’re gone, the memories remain of what used to be, your beautiful smile& the sound of your laugh. But most of all, the love you gave. Nenek, am missing you so much. How empty my world seems. You were always there when no one else was and never left my side. That's what a loving grandmother does. You were there with me through thick and thin. But who ever knew, your time would end. If you were still alive, you’d be celebrating your 84th birthday today.

4 YEARS WITHOUT DATUK

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:10:00 +0000

Time flies. Rasa macam baru saja arwah Datuk meninggal. Today genap empat tahun. He passed away peacefully on 23rd April 2006 at Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur at 7.34 a.m. We were there when he breathed his last and he looked so calm before he died. Datuk died on the same month as arwah Nenek. He were buried at the Makam Pahlawan (Herous Mausoleum), Masjid Negara and he was accorded full national honour.

6 YEARS WITHOUT NENEK

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:05:00 +0000

Six years ago at 12.25 a.m (Friday 17th April 2004), nenek left us forever. All of us was there when she passed away. It was a touching moment for us. The oldest lady in our family and the only remaining “Alang” descendent has left us forever.

Nenek, you have been out of our life for 6 years now, but it seems like yesterday. Everything falls apart when you’re not here. Everyone says it is bad to bottle things up and that if I need to cry I should. I had you there to comfort me when I was sad, but when you died everything fell apart because I didn’t have you to comfort me anymore. My memory holds her dearly. And most of all I love her. A love that always stays. It stays inside my memory and is often on my mind. Because a lady like you is rare and is hard to find. I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Yang penting, harus bersabar.

High Drama in the City

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:27:00 +0000

The incident happened yesterday morning (16th March 2010) at our condo. Please read the article below (Source: The Star and Utusan Malaysia).

By STEVEN DANIEL

KUALA LUMPUR: An Iranian man who was mourning the death of his father by sitting on a ledge on the 25th floor of his condominium for five hours caused a stir as people thought he was attempting to commit suicide.

The 25-year-old, who wore a T-shirt and shorts, was spotted sitting on the ledge at 7am by residents of the Villa Puteri Condominium at Jalan Tun Ismail yesterday.

At about 9.05am, a resident called the authorities and within minutes officers from the Fire and Rescue Department arrived and tried to coax him off the ledge.

When they found he did not understand English or Bahasa Malaysia, they contacted the Iranian Embassy.

Embassy staff members took about three hours to coax the man back into the condominium.

One of them even risked his life by lowering himself on to the narrow ledge to talk to the man.

On several occasions, the man asked for a cigarette and water, which were provided to him.

Safely on the ground: The man sitting in a car next to the embassy staff member who convinced him to get back into the condominium.

Still worried that the man might decide to jump, the Fire and Rescue Department officers laid a safety cushion on the third floor.

City deputy CID chief Asst Comm Aziz Zakaria said the two embassy staff members managed to convince the man to get off the ledge at 12.15pm.

“We later learnt that he came to Malaysia to study and was feeling depressed because his father had passed away in Iran last week.

“He also mentioned that he was not planning to take his life but only wanted to sit on the ledge,” he added.

ACP Aziz said the man would be sent to a hospital for a medical examination.

KUALA LUMPUR 16 Mac - Keadaan sekitar pusat membeli belah The Mall di sini cemas apabila seorang pemuda warganegara Iran bertindak 'berehat' di anjung luar tingkap rumahnya di tingkat 25 Kondominium Villa Puteri di sini pagi ini.

Pemuda yang dikenali sebagai Reza, 25, dan baru tiba di negara ini sejak seminggu lalu dilaporkan ingin mencari ketenangan di anjung tingkap kondominium berkenaan yang terletak di belakang The Mall.

Dia yang dipercayai mengalami tekanan jiwa dikatakan bertindak demikian selepas bapanya meninggal dunia sebelum dia ke negara ini.

Timbalan Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Kuala Lumpur, Asisten Komisioner Aziz Zakaria berkata, pemuda yang tinggal bersama rakannya di rumah tersebut dilihat berada di anjung itu sejak pukul 8 pagi, sebelum ia dilaporkan kepada polis.

"Sebaik tiba di kondominium itu kita terpaksa meminta bantuan Pasukan Bomba dan Penyelamat untuk mengambil langkah keselamatan dengan memasang tilam angin selain membuat persediaan menyelamat pemuda itu.

"Kerja-kerja rundingan atau memujuk menjadi agak sukar apabila pemuda itu tidak boleh bertutur dalam Bahasa Inggeris," katanya kepada pemberita di tempat kejadian.

Aziz menambah, berikutan itu pihaknya terpaksa memanggil Duta Iran untuk melakukan rundingan.

Menurutnya, dalam proses rundingan yang berlaku selama hampir tiga jam itu, pemuda berkenaan hanya meminta air dan rokok untuk terus 'berehat'.

"Pemuda itu berjaya diselamatkan pada pukul 12.15 tengah hari selepas dia akur dengan pujukan yang dibuat," ujarnya.

_________________________________________

**Nak kata pemuda nie trauma kerana kematian bapa dia mungkin juga. Siapa tak sedih jika orang kita sayangi pergi menghadap Ilahi, lagi-lagi kita tak dapat menatap wajahnya sewaktu dia menghembuskan nafas yang terakhir. Yang paling menyedihkan, dia tak dapat menghadiri pengebumian arwah bapanya. Alhamdulillah tiada apa yang buruk berlaku pada pemuda ini**.

Borneo-Island In the Clouds

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:39:00 +0000

I turned .............. few days ago. How do I feel??? Hmmm.. happy? NO!!! I feel so old. Soon I’ll be 40. Scary!!! Oh tidak!!.

Okay..how did I spend my birthday? or shall I say what happened to me 2 days before I turned ...... ? I felt down and injured my leg. Jatuh macam nangka (hehehe) and nasib baik tak ada sapa nampak if not malunye!! Bruises and cuts on my right leg. Ouch!! Thank God Mr. A was around during the incident, so he helped to lift me up and carry me home. Dia jugak la yang basuhkan luka and letakkan ubat. Thank you so much darling.

The next evening, we board on the plane to BKI. We reach there at 10.30 p.m and since it was late, the “car rental” counter were already closed so we had to take the airport taxi to the hotel. It cost us RM30.00 and to me, it’s way too expensive!. The journey to the hotel took us less than 20 minutes. Dekat sangat tapi charge mahal sungguh!!.

First thing we did the next morning after taking our breakfast was head back to the airport by taxi and (again) it cost us RM30.00!! Mak ai..mahalnye. We rented a car at a very good price of RM228.00. Lega rasanya bila dah ada transport. Senang nak move around.

Our first destination was to Mount Kinabalu National Park. It took us about an hour and a half to reach there. Thanks to the GPS. Senang and tak sesat jalan. Sadly we didn’t go on hiking since we didn’t take any warm clothes and sturdy shoes.

Mount Kinabalu National Park

The most beautiful places we visited around Borneo.

On our way there we stopped by at Pekan Nabalu, a place where you can find lots of interesting handmade handicrafts from Borneo.

Pekan Nabalu

The handicrafts shop at Pekan Nabalu.

Later on the way back to the city, we stopped by at the Signal Hill Observatory Platform. It’s the highest point and the best place to get a good view of Kota Kinabalu.

Here you can get amazing views that extend to the outlaying islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park and further.

We had our dinner at Jesselton Point Waterfront (formerly known as the Kota Kinabalu Ferry Terminal). Jesselton Point Waterfront serves the only ferry terminal for Labuan-bound passengers as well as the main (and cheapest) boat terminal for the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Gayana Island.

This is our 4th time here in BKI and to tell the truth 2 days is not enough to cover KK town alone. Nevertheless, I had a great time in BKI and it is the first time I celebrated my birthday without my family around. Just the two of us. We already plan to go to BKI soon :)

A Year Ago

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:00:00 +0000

It’s been a year already (03rd March 2009) but it still haunt both of us and the other residents at PWTC area. The flash flood! Yes flash flood. Flash flood is a norm for Malaysia weather, where rain is plenty and drainage are not able to channel all the water away efficiently.

However, this were the third time we witnessed the scenario with our own eyes. The effect was devastating. The irony part is, even the Bomba quarters and station were flooded. The situation was a chaos. Cars were stucked in the traffic jam for miles long. We're glad and counting our blessing that we was none of those residents, having our cars being drowned in the water (Alhamdulillah).

Only after the traumatic incident, we found out that we can actually check the water level of each river from this particular site . From there it highlights the water flows. Boy oh boy..lepas the incident baru dapat tahu. Geez. So now bila hujan, we both terus check the water level..takut-takut air naik or banjir. Hmmm. What we could say.. the flash flood in Kuala Lumpur is a never ending saga. Harap-harap tak jadi lagi. Tak sanggup dah. Masa flash flood hari tu, our lifts was out of service for almost a week, so terpaksala naik turun guna tangga and I lost 2 kilos for that matter.

Lumpur Lapindo

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:09:00 +0000

Lumpur Lapindo

I wish to share my experience during our short visit to Surabaya, Indonesia and as reminder to myself and others that how lucky we are to be Malaysian.

Indonesia geographically located in the area where there are active volcanos and earth quake. The place we visited was Lapindo, a nice country side comprising of about 20 villages where most of them are farmers and minners.

In May 2006, an oil drilling project of gas-drilling company Lapindo cracked open a natural gas-rich water lode at a depth of nearly 3,000 meters, without the recommended steel casing. When the limestone bed rock got fractured, hotwater shot up like a geyser and began flooding villages, rice farms and factory areas. Ground zero was the Porong district of East Java and being near to the city of Sidoarjo, the disaster has been nicknamed by locals as Lusi or lumpur Sidoarjo.

According to reports , in less than two years, twelve villages were swallowed, about 16,000 people were rendered homeless and 550 hectares were erased from the map. Damages and related costs already are running into $billion and the worst part is, the 50 meter-wide hole continues to pump up to 150,000 cubic meters of mud a day. As more and more land is turned into a lake of gray bubbling mud, efforts by the government and international community offer some measure of hope, but barely. Neither nature or science can assure that the flow will stop anytime soon. The baffling flow of hot brackish water deep from the earth is unabated, inundating more villages as time progresses.

I've not seen a disaster of such magnitude in Malaysia our beloved country..ideally we should be thankful. Tempat tu sekarang dah jadi tasik lumpur yg sangat besar. Tengah-tengahnya berasap. Macam gunung berapi dalam air.

Kalau benda macam tu jadi kat sini tak tahula. MasyaAllah.

Arwah Syafia Humairah

Air mata pasti tumpah memikirkan kejadian itu. Hati ini juga masih sedih, pedih dan pilu. Kenapakah dikau di perlakukan sedemikian rupa? Adakah kerna kau insan kecil yang tidak tahu melawan? Apakah dosa si kecil yang bernama Syafia Humairah? Walaupun diri ini belum lagi bergelar seorang ibu tapi naluriku sebagai seorang manusia, geram memikirkan pabila anak-anak kecil di dera. Yang ini lebih teruk lagi, si kecil ditampar, ditendang, kepalanya dipijak dan dibelasah sehingga mati. Adakah orang yang memperlakukan ini hilang pertimbangan dan kewarasan berfikir?

Wahai arwah adik Syafia Humairah Sahari, semoga rohmu dicucuri rahmat. Alfatihah.

Head to the mall? Or wait for DH to come home from work? Geez…. 8 hours more to go. It’s just 9. 00 a.m and I’m freaking bored already.

Office is close today for the festive season. Hmmm.. I think I shall do some reading. Well atleast, it could kill the time, rather than I sit around doing nothing right??

Bonus OH BONUS

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:02:00 +0000

Syukur ke hadrat Illahi. Dengan ekonomi negara yang baru hendak pulih, dapat perkabaran gembira....company beri BONUS selama SEBULAN!!. Walaupun untuk sebulan, tapi ia amat mengembirakan hati ini. Rasa puas diberi ganjaran sebegini selepas penat bekerja. Ada dikalangan rakan sepejabat yang mendapat 1/2 bulan bonus sahaja. Kasihan pada mereka. Berita yang ku terima dari rakan-rakan yang bekerja di syarikat lain mengeluh kerana mereka tiada Bonus dan Increment (kenaikan gaji).

Bonus yang ku terima ini di nilai melalui prestasi mutu kerja kami selama setahun (melalui appraisal). Walaupun telah bekerja hampir 13 tahun, tapi bila time appraisal, lemah kepala lulut. Hanya Tuhan saja yang tahu betapa risaunya hati ini. Dalam hati berkata-kata, okay ke tidak feedback yang boss bagi. Alhamdulillah, semuanya okay. Boss sangat berpuas hati dengan mutu kerjaku. Lega!! Satu part dah selesai. Lagi satu part, feedback dari HR & EC (Executive Chairman). Part yang ni, yang paling suspen. Dapat atau tidak "B" (Bonus) & "I" (Increment)?? Setiap hari, inilah topik yang dibualkan sesama kami di pejabat. Untung dan seronok bekerja di pejabat EC (Executive Chairman) kerana berita terkini mengenai "B" dan "I" dapat di hidu dengan cepat. Lebih kurang jam 3.30 petang, Accountant kami membuat announcement " "B" already in" and you may check after 7pm, katanya. Apalagi, bersorak la kami semua di pejabat. Dalam bergembira, hati ni tak tenteram dan berkata-kata, "betul ada ke", "dapat ke"? Macam-macam bermain dalam kepala. Yelah mana la tau, orang lain ada, kita pulak takde. Sure menganga.

Petang tadi, lepas sampai rumah lebih kurang jam 7pm, DH ajak dinner kat luar tapi jawapan yang ku beri, tak lapar. Padahal tak lunch tengahari tadi sebab banyak kerja yang perlu di siapkan. Jumaat ni pula office tutup, so banyak yang perlu dibereskan. Sedang DH kusyuk tengok Buletin Utama, dengan hati "dup dap dup dap", terusku ke website PB(Public Bank). Dengan adanya kecangihan IT, Internet Banking boleh di lakukan di mana-mana. Kalau dulu terpaksa ke Bank atau ATM machine. Berbalik kepada website PB, mataku ni tak berhenti berkelip-kelip bila melihat nombor dan jumlah yang tertera di dalam akaun bank. Rasa nak menangis pun ada. Bukan sebab sedih tapi gembira dan bersyukur. Ya Allah, aku bersyukur kepadamu. Apalagi terusku capai handphone and terus SMS DH (padahal duduk serumah tu :) ), "I've got good news and am so hungry. Lets go out for dinner. Oh ya, I've got the "B". Jawapan yang DH beri, " Kesian Baby lapar. Nanti kita keluar dinner lepas ni. B??". "B" = BONUS. I got 1 month BONUS :) jawapku. Terus DH berlari mengucapkan tahniah kepada ku.

Perbezaan dosa lelaki dan dosa perempuan

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:41:00 +0000

Lelaki-Lelaki Bujang kena tanggung dosa sendiri apabila sudah baligh manakala dosa gadis bujang ditanggung oleh bapanya.

Lelaki berkahwin kena tanggung dosa sendiri, dosa isteri, dosa anak perempuan yang belum berkahwin dan dosa anak lelaki yang belum baligh. BERATKAN?

Hukum menjelaskan anak lelaki kena bertanggung jawab ke atas ibunya dan sekiranya dia tidak menjalankan tanggung jawabnya maka dosa baginya terutama anak lelaki yang tua, manakala perempuan tidak, perempuan hanya perlu taat kepada suaminya. Isteri berbuat baik pahala dapat kepadanya kalau buat tak baik dosanya ditanggung oleh suaminya. BERATKAN??

Suami kena bagi nafkah pada isteri, ini wajib tapi isteri tidak. Walaupun begitu isteri boleh membantu.. Haram bagi suami bertanya pendapatan isteri lebih-lebih lagi menggunakan pendapatan isteri tanpa izin ini.

Banyak lagi lelaki lebih-lebih lagi yang bergelar suami perlu tanggung. Kalau nak dibayangkan beratnya dosa-dosa yang ditanggungnya seperti gunung dengan semut.. Itu sebabnya mengikut kajian nyawa orang perempuan lebih panjang daripada lelaki. Lelaki mati cepat kerana tak larat dengan beratnya dosa-dosa yang ditanggung (ikut kajian laa..)

Tetapi orang lelaki ada keistimewaannya yang dianugerah oleh Allah SWT. Ini orang lelaki kena tahu, kalau tak tahu kena jadi perempuan.. Begitulah kira-kiranya.

WANITA :

Auratnya lebih susah dijaga berbanding lelaki. Perlu meminta izin dari suaminya apabila mahu keluar rumah tetapi tidak sebaliknya. Saksinya kurang berbanding lelaki. Menerima pusaka kurang dari lelaki. Perlu menghadapi kesusahan mengandung dan melahirkan anak.. Wajib taat kepada suaminya tetapi suami tak perlu taat pada isterinya. Talak terletak di tangan suami dan bukan isteri.

Wanita kurang dalam beribadat kerana masalah haid dan nifas yang tak ada pada lelaki. Pernahkah kita lihat sebaliknya?? Benda yang mahal harganya akan dijaga dan dibelai serta disimpan ditempat yang tersorok dan selamat. Sudah pasti intan permata tidak akan dibiar bersepah-sepah bukan? Itulah bandingannya dengan seorang wanita. Wanita perlu taat kepada suami tetapi lelaki wajib taat kepada ibunya 3 kali lebih utama dari bapanya .. Bukankah ibu adalah seorang wanita ?

Wanita menerima pusaka kurang dari lelaki tetapi harta itu menjadi milik peribadinya dan tidak perlu diserahkan kepada suaminya , manakala lelaki menerima pusaka perlu menggunakan hartanya untuk menyara isteri dan anak-anak. Wanita perlu bersusah payah mengandung dan melahirkan anak, tetapi setiap saat dia didoakan oleh segala haiwan, malaikat dan seluruh makhluk ALLAH di mukabumi ini, dan matinya jika kerana melahirkan adalah syahid kecil. Manakala dosanya diampun ALLAH (dosa kecil).

Di akhirat kelak, seorang lelaki akan dipertanggungjawabkan terhadap 4 wanita :

1. ibunya ,

2. isterinya ,

3.anak perempuannya , dan

4. saudara perempuannya.

Manakala seorang wanita pula, tanggungjawab terhadapnya ditanggung oleh 4 org lelaki ini :

1. suaminya,

2. ayahnya,

3. anak lelakinya dan

4. saudara lelakinya .

Seorang wanita boleh memasuki pintu Syurga melalui mana-mana pintu Syurga yg disukainya cukup dengan 4 syarat sahaja :

1. sembahyang 5 waktu

2. puasa di bulan Ramadhan

3. taat suaminya dan

4. menjaga kehormatannya .

Seorang lelaki perlu pergi berjihad fisabilillah tetapi wanita jika taat akan suaminya serta menunaikan tanggungjawabnya kepada ALLAH akan turut menerima pahala seperti pahala orang pergi berperang fisabilillah tanpa perlu mengangkat senjata.. MasyaALLAH.. .sayangnya ALLAH pada wanita ....

Seorang wanita adalah pelengkap dan sememangnya istimewa di sisi seorang lelaki , tetapi ingatlah wahai lelaki...kamu sebenarnya adalah istimewa disisi Allah, maka dengan sebab itu DIA mengangkat kamu menjadi pemimpin...maka dengan keistimewaan itu, JAGALAH dan HARGAILAH wanita sebaik-baiknya. ..supaya kelak masing2 lelaki dan wanita dapat pulang mengadap Allah dalam keadaan istimewa disisiNYA..

"Berpeganglah kamu sekelian dengan tali Allah dan janganlah kamu berpecah-belah, dan ingatlah nikmat Allah atas kamu, seketika kamu bermusuh-musuhan telah dipersatukanNya hati kamu semuanya, sehingga dengan segera kamu telah menjadi bersaudara dengan sebab nikmatNya.(Ali- Imran:103) Pada hari itu (hari qiamat) manusia diberitahu akan segala yang telah dikerjakannya dan yang telah ditinggalkan. Bahkan manusia itu, anggotanya menjadi saksi terhadap dirinya sendiri, walaupun dia berperi-peri memberikan alasan untuk membela diri "

What do you and your spouse call each other??

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:22:00 +0000

What do you and your spouse call each other? Hubs(Hubby)? Darling? Sweetheart? Honey? Wifey(wife)? Well.. myself and DH thinks it would be more loving to call each other with “nicknames”.

In Malaysia, most Malay women called their husband “Abang”. To fellow readers out there, "Abang" means older brother in Malay. It is often used in Malay families when one addresses their older male siblings.

Malay families find it rather disrespectful to address their older sibling by their first name alone! So as a sign of respect the word “Abang” is usually placed before the person's name or nickname. For example, "Abang Adin” or “Abang Long"; and for older female siblings the word "Kakak" is used. Maybe that’s the reason why Malay women call their husband or their sweethearts “Abang” in the way of respect and love. The wife calls their Husband, “Abang” and the Husband calls the Wife “Sayang” or "Ayang"(means Love/ Dear). In some cases they call their spouse by their "short names". For example, Qis (for Qistina) or Dan (for Danial).

Oh I still remember when we just got married, I started calling DH “Abang”. He just kept quiet. So I assumed that my voice were too soft and he couldn’t hear when I called him out. Hmmm.. I wonder since when am a soft spoken person. Bukan suara kuat ke? The third time I called him “Abang”, he still kept himself quiet and it starts making me annoyed (hehehe). Wonder why he didn’t answered me. Have I done anything wrong? While I tried to calm myself down, he comes and say, “I know you respect me and am so happy that you’re doing so but I don’t like you calling me “Abang”. Hmmm....he don't like? I wonder why(why oh why)? “But why, I asked him”. Erm..“Baby (he calls me Baby :) ) “Abang” sounds very old fashioned. "Oh! I answered". Haih ingatkan kenapa la yang dia dok senyap bila kita panggil berapa kali, dia tak menyahut. Rupanya dia tak suka kita panggil dia “Abang”. So I said, since you called me “Baby”, why don’t I called you “..............”? I can see he was happily smiling. Baby "I like that, he says". :) :)

In a way, we strongly believe that calling our loved one with a nickname makes the relationship little more special. How about you guys???

Weekend Getaway

noreply@blogger.com (:: MR and MRS AIRUL ::) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:00:00 +0000

When the body is tired, we need a rest. When the mind is tired we need a rest too. But when both body and mind are tired it’s a sign that we need a vacation! How’s that? It’s my own interpretation la. But like I say I need a break. Saya ‘udah capek’(tired). Not that I'm complaining or what but my body and mind just couldn't cope it any longer. As always, DH never failed to amazed and surprised me (alhamdulillah). Been a great man, wonderful husband, great companion and best friend, he knows when his wife is not feeling well, tired, need vacation (hehehe) and etc. He can even read what's on my mind. Few days ago while am still in the office, he calls me up and say, "Lets go somewhere this weekend. You've been working so hard and you need a break". Hmmm.. of course, I was smiling all the way. I didn't answer much but I said YES. Oh by the way, we're boarding in 4 hours time and the place we're heading to, is the perfect getaway and more over, it's been our favourite destination ever since. Thank you darling.

7th Anniversary

Today is our anniversary, and it seems just like 7 years ago when we tied our knot.Love brought us together. Each year I realized that it’s all true that I have the one I searched for and it’s him (my hubby). He’s the best, dearest thing to come into my life and for that I thank ALLAH. Happy 7th Anniversary Darling.
