Women love to dress up for work and party. But do you dress up to go to bed?
I always neglect in dressing up for my sleep. Not that I don't fancy sexy nightwear, but I prefer the comfy ones (read as big t-shirt, short, a pair of ankle length socks). Not that my husband never complain, but I'm use to wearing those for bed.
But no harm to change,right? So let's get some idea what should I look like in bed? The attire, I mean!
1. Camisole and women boxer
H&M
Sexy: Can show off my butt cheeks
Comfy: It is 2-piece, bingo!
2. Sleep tee
XOXO
Sexy: Wear nothing below and your husband will find hard to sleep!
Comfy: It is from cotton, read as stretchable.
3. Sleep shirt
Forever 21
Sexy: A business look in bed? Sounds like a play to me!
Comfy: The cutting is loose, allow you to move 'aggressively' on bed :)
4. Pajamas
Sexy: The 'cover it all' will make the 'treasure hunt' game more interesting.
Comfy: Unlike the sleep shirt, this set will keep you warm at the down south area.
5. Sexy nighties
Forever 21
Sexy: Of course! Every inch! Regardless what shape is your body, you'll look like the amazing Miranda Kerr in nighties, trust me!
Comfy: Perhaps you wouldn't need one after the exhausting activity due to this sleepwear!
6. Naked
Purrrr!!!
I'll try all the above and will update you soon, which one I prefer. And my husband favorite, too!
How are you? I'm fine thank you. Still surviving and syukur with what I have till today.
How's your day today? Mine is fine. Like other day, there's peak and non-peak time, like highway! Hahaha. Right now I'm enjoying my 'own time'. Aaron and Maleec are having 'evening' nap while Juma is still at work though it is 7.35 pm now. Well, everyday I have to have my 'me-time'.
As other mothers consider their me-time as shopping, relaxing in spa or a long lunch with a bunch of friends. That's 'me-time' to me too. But I would like to have a time on my own everyday without leaving the house. It is as simple as letting me be in my thought.
Baking is a 'me-time' as well. While mixing the ingredient, I'll imagine when I have my own bakery and the customers are asking for more from me. While bathing (usually when Maleec is playing with Aaron. Aaron is a boy who loves water and want to be under water at most of the time. Maybe he is a fish. Maybe he isn't a mammal.), I'll love to visualize of me in few years time. How successful would I be!) Or while driving and listening to the music, I love to let my thought flow, to everywhere. That's what I consider as my 'me-time'.
Some women whining that they don't have time for themselves. In my opinion, the time wouldn't come to you. But you have to find it. You have to figure it out how to get it. I think you have to find way how to earn it. Since I becoming a housewife, to a bungalow that to me is quite big for a tiny person like myself to manage; I did a schedule. A work schedule. By doing this, I know when should I change the bed sheet, sweep and mop the floor, scrub the toilet and to do others. I also have my weekend, like other workers too! On Monday, I didn't schedule any house chores because I might run my errand on that day or I can adjust the working schedule if any emergency happens in that week! I also didn't cramps the schedule, as I rwalize I'm a human and not a robot!
I also learn how to say enough! I just recently learned how to say it so. If before, I'll work non-stop around the clock and it didn't benefit anybody. I'm tired, my kids get upset as I easily get angry and the quality of the work is not at the best.
So good luck in finding your 'me-time' and let me know if you have any tips that it might be useful!
My birthday is coming soon and I'm excited of getting older. Seriously.
Usually people will wish the birthday girl/boy with good wishes. On our birthday, we will celebrate in our own ways and have the tradition. Sometimes our family will make nice meals, surprise birthday party or dine at fancy restaurant. We also will receive presents from friend, family members and whoever that remember our birthday (our clients?)
But do you ever say thank you to your parents and spouse for taking care of you all this while? For making you happy. For giving you great experience and lessons. For making you a better person each year? I believe that we, each of us, can't make it to this far without the help from people around us. Even if not family or friends, perhaps your boss or clients? Perhaps your neighbour who had been taking care of your house when you are away for work.
It has been a tradition for me to celebrate my birthday with my mother. She is the person who gives the biggest impact in my life. She influences me a lot, in many ways. No enough 'thank you' I can give her for raising me up.
I also tried very best celebrate it with my then-boyfriend who happen to be my husband now. He is a person who is taking care of me since 5 years ago and let me tell you one secret: he is great with that job! He moves me to be a better person, he let me see things differently and the most of all, he makes me the happiest woman on earth!
I think I've grown from a person who is wondering what is theme for her birthday party this year, to the person who is wondering how many friends are wishing her in the Friendster or Facebook, to a person who is hoping that the husband will get her another fancy gift to a person who feel nothing but grateful with what she achieve till today. I'm nobody without my family and friends.
But on top of all, I'm not breathing, growing or even writing this without Allah's gift to me. He gives me chance to live up my day till today. He gives chance to love and be loved. He gives me chance to live up my life. Thank you Allah.
Happy birthday to me in advance. Congratulations to my mother! Last 31 years, she was carrying and from then on, shaping me up to be who I am today. Congratulations to my husband who been taking the baton from my mother and continue successfully taking care of me.
Thanks everybody for making me go through my life for 31 years and hope for many years return!
It's evening now and finally I have time for myself. The whole today had been about the house and the kids.
Before I moved in, I've hired people to clean up the house. The house that we bought is not a brand new. It is 12 years old and it had been quite sometimes that the owner didn't live in the house. The husband is a surgeon and he is working in the Middle East. The wife was a banker and now a housewife, had returned home several times with the kids but didn't stay long. So the house isn't that clean.
I've tackled the wardrobe, built in cabinets and the toilet since we got the house keys. But not then the floor. As I was working when we were moving in, I didn't have good time to monitor the cleaning work. I put the responsibility 100% on the cleaners. It turned out not as I expected. Since I haven't pay her yet, I called her to come back and settle the rest before the payment. She did.
However, after a month staying in this house and after many times mopping the floor, but the dirt still stuck at my feet. I feel so unclean whenever I walk in the house. So today, I made decision to SCRUB the floor of the ENTIRE house! Seriously, I'm done!
The upstairs' floor is a laminated floor. I know laminated floor doesn't go well with water, but I just care less. I need to make it clean, by today! The downstairs' floor is covered with tiles. It's a whole lot easier. I switched of the tv, thus Maleec had no choice but to play with Aaron. First, the played in the toys room. Later they approached the garden. I saw Maleec put on sand on his brother's head, but I just need to focus on my work.
As today is Thursday, there is a night market nearby our house. I need to get there for chicken. Let me tell you, bringing kids to the night market is a night mare! Maleec was crying, shouting and showing his tantrum from the moment we put our foot at the market till we left as he wan't the Ultraman toys. Not that I don't want to attend his needs, but he has plenty of it at home.
With all the busi-ness, I still found time to make bubur gandum (wheat sweet porridge). It was the first attempt but it tasted great! Should do for Juma one fine day! You should try and let me know how does it turn out!
Recipe: Bubur gandum
Ingredient
1 cup of wheat pearls
2 cups of coconut milk
1 cup of sugar
Water (as you like)
Salt
2 Pandan leaves (tie into knot)
Method
1. Wash wheat pearls in several change of water till water runs clear. Soak for half an hour.
2. In a pot, bring water and pandan leaves to boil. Add the wheat pearls. Lower the heat of the simmer until the wheat pearls are soft.
3. Add in the coconut milk, sugar and salt. Let it get thicker.
4. Serve warm in a bowl.
Everybody is happy! That's the conclusion of today.
I brought my 2 kids to their grandparents' house. It had been more than a week they didn't see their grandparents. The last time they were met was on the last day I worked. I wanted to go to my in law's house last week, but they were busy.
Aaron was missing his grandfather, Atuk, dearly. I feel sad whenever he sees our neighbor, who is old enough to be called Atuk (grandpa), he will greet him as if he sees his Atuk. Aaron is close with Juma's father, whom he calls Atuk. He will follow his Atuk wherever he goes. He will seek for Atuk if he wants to sleep. And since I quit working, he hasn't seen his Atuk till today.
Wan, what my kids call Juma's mother) was so delighted seeing her grandchildren. She was a bit chubby compared to the last time I met her. It must be a better lifestyle she is living my now. She doesn't have to get up very early to clean up the house before the kids arrive. She also no longer need to dwell with my kids' naughty behaviour. I'm so happy looking at her, as she look less stress than before.
As we arrived, Aaron was poo poo. He felt so uneasy in the car and he couldn't take his afternoon nap. I told him that I'll clean him up once we arrived to their grandparents' house. Nonetheless, Aaron ran straight into the house checking every room, making sure nothing is changed.
Maleec on the other hand, looked uncomfortable. He suddenly became so shy and didn't greet his grandparents. He just ate his cookies and asking for instant noodles. Then he whispered to me, 'Mummy, abang house. Tv Up.' It means that he wants to go home to watch his tv, located in my room, upstairs. I looked at him and asked him, 'don't you want to stay here awhile and talk to Wan and Atuk?' He replied, 'No! Abang tv up!' Oh my! I just ignored him and he looked as if he was disconnect with his grandparents. Hmm.. another problem to be solved!
Later, Aaron got cozier, naughtier. He was 'running' the kitchen, paying with the cooking utensils, pulling the books out from the shelves and he dropped 2 eggs on the floor! That is the ultimate that I could tolerate on today. Finally, we were in the car, driving back home.
The evening was fine, as other evening. But I learned something today. It is human's nature character to appreciate the person more when they are gone. Seriously, it is a dangerous behavior as sometimes there is no second chance. Look at my in-laws for example. When Aaron and Maleec were staying with them, I don't think they feel how much happy the kids made them. To them, having teh kids around is a daily routine, But since the separation from them, the children been much appreciated by their grandparents.
So do I. Sometimes when Juma is in Malaysia, I feel that I'm going through the daily routine and the days seem the same,; nothing special. But when he is out station and return, I feel like falling in love all over again. I miss him dearly when he isn't around.
My new resolution: appreciate each moment you have. Appreciate everybody around.
Well, I leave you with a lovely pancake recipe from Nigella Lawson. I want to make pancake tomorrow as breakfast. Unfortunately I don't have milk. *sigh*
Nites people!
Recipe: Simple Pancake
For the pancake mix
600 gram(s) plain flour
3tablespoon(s) baking powder
2teaspoon(s) bicarbonate of soda
1teaspoon(s) salt
40 gram(s) caster sugar (or vanilla sugar)
For the batter - to each 150g pancake mix, add and whisk together
1medium egg(s)
250 ml semi skimmed milk (or full fat)
1tablespoon(s) butter (melted)
Method
For the Pancake mix: Mix all the ingredients together and store in a jar.
When ready to make the pancakes, proceed as follows: Heat a flat griddle or pan with no oil.
Spoon drops of 1½-2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle or into the pan and, when bubbles appear on the surface of the little pancakes, flip them over to make them golden brown on both sides. A minute or so a side should do it.
Should make about 15 pancakes, each about 8cm in diameter.
My house is still incomplete. I need to find more stuff to brighten it up. So I need to shop.... And I went shopping!
Actually Juma and I thought of making one of the room at downstairs as his leisure place. He wants to put his guitar and get lazy in that room. He also plans to put on sofa bed instead of bed in that room to save some space. The room isn't so small, but the previous owner did a built-up wardrobe at the long wall, up to the ceiling! I'm so grateful with the wardrobe as that is the place where I stash all the clothes that we rarely use (i.e winter clothes).
I went to SSF store (yeah again!) and got a lounge chair for that room. I also bought a new bed sheet, white in color, as I really wish for a new cover on our bed. Only I discovered that the salesman gave me the wrong size, Instead of king size, I went home with single size. I also did survey on the sofa bed. The price is around rm1000++. The range of colors are quite nice as well as they have all the vibrant color. I'm looking for striking yellow or lime green.
On the next day, I went to Ikea. The objective: to get some idea on how to decorate the kids room. Unfortunately Ikea didn't give me any inspirational idea. It's ok. I got myself a new frying pan and 2 vases. Well, I tried to decorate the vase with the flowers from my garden, but failed. It wasn't the flowers' fault but completely my fault as I don;t know how to do it! Hahaha! I need help on that area, seriously!
And I've changed the bedsheet to the correct size! Will upload the pictures soon!
Ok people, I need to work on my garden now. Till then, take care!
Today is Saturday. Normal working people aren't going to the office. Me, a housewife, also hang up my apron and call the day off.
Yeah, you read me right. In my schedule, I'm not suppose to do any housework today. o scrubbing, cleaning or mopping, Today is the day that I should relax and chill out.
And I did it! I woke up pretty late... almost at 10 am. Me and the kids had our roti canai breakfast at 11.30 am before I hit my garden. Well, actually I didn't work much at the garden, just pull off some weed. After afternoon prayer, I brought the kids to SSF store. Ive been wanting to go here for ages, to see what there can fit in my new house. Well, since I was doing the survey and not in rush, I didn't purchase anything. And the truth is, nothing there that attract me. I couldn't find anything unique. Let me try again tomorrow.
As Chinese New Year celebration is approaching, SSF is offering a wide range of CNY items, including soft toys of dragon. And to keep the kids quiet in the cart, I got them playing with the soft toys but didn't mean to get it. When it was time to leave the store, I handed the dragon to the store assistant back. Slowly, Maleec cried. I really feel bad that I didn't get him the dragon. We'll see tomorrow what's the price of the dragon and if it reasonable, I'll buy him one.
Back to Sungai Buloh, I stopped to get the nasi kukus for late lunch. Initially I want to share it with the kids but ended up that I was the one who finished it up. They weren't bother to even taste.
In the evening, Aaron and Maleec 'helped' me to wash the patio. I have to scrub the floor as Maleec were playing with clay at that area and it stuck on the it. Night was easy. I managed to finish two movies; Taken 2 and I Don't Know How She Does It.
Tomorrow, I will continue hunting for my home accessories. Where? I'll update you soon. I leave you with this beautiful song from Scars of Broadway. Goodnight!
*I'm writing while frying chicken for lunch. Aaron is taking his afternoon nap. Maleec is upstairs, watching etooon (cartoon).
I stated yesterday in my Facebook status that doing housework is tiring. It is not that I'm complaining. I'm just expressing my thought about it as I was so exhausted yesterday. Doing the housework is one issue, taking care of the small kids is another. Imagine doing it together!!
Maleec is a big boy already and is quite independent. He knows how to entertain himself. Plus, he is the first child, so he is used of being alone and try to cheer himself without bugging the adults.
On the other hand, Aaron is in the phase where he has to tag to his mummy all day long. Maleec had been at that phase and it bothers me a lot. I felt so uncomfortable and irritated. And now it is Aaron's turn. His toys are what I use for cooking, cleaning and gardening. He wouldn't be amuse with the 'normal' toys that kids play with.
And wherever I clean-up, he will make the mess. For example, when I'm sweeping the floor, he will pick up the dust pan and carry it all over the places, spreading the dirt that I just collected.
*Maleec is screaming for lunch! Need to pause awhile!
Where am I? Btw, I had my lunch with the kids. Maleec loves the marinated fried chicken and finish it all, without leaving some for dinner. Have to cook again, tonight!
Ok, let's continue! Doing the housework is a never ending work.
* Distracted by Aaron. He opened the cutlery's drawer and pull out all the spoon, fork and knives. Sigh!
See! Now you understand why it is a never ending work. Sweeping and mopping the floor, clean the window, attend your garden, wash the dishes, and the list goes on and on. It is tiring when you don't have a plan or schedule. So I made one schedule that will leave me relax on weekend (yippee!)
Oh yeah! I just ironed all my husband clothes. Before, when I was still working, I sent his to the laundry as I couldn't find time to attend his clothes. Now, I shouldn't have problem to iron his clothes.
Please find below on how to iron man shirt. *Don't laugh, be nice! I want my husband to wear a crisp shirt everyday and looks smart!
I'm happy doing the house chores. After all, it is my house and my family. No complaint, I appreciate what I have. Alhamdullillah!
I believe every housewife face the same. I just posted the statement at the Facebook and I found many people comments on the same fate they have on cleaning up the house. Well, I think I should work hard to keep the house as lively as it should be as my husband works so hard to pay for it.
**Everytime I want to start blogging, it will end I'm browsing the Facebook pages, read gossip blogs.. bla.. bla.. bla! Such a distraction! Focus, Fatin, focus!
I bet every of you have a dream place to visit. Many of us work hard to achieve those dreams. But others (like me), we just live with the dream. We will keep on dreaming till we wake up.
But I want to dream out loud by sharing it with you. I'm a person who love to be at the beach or visit big city and try to blend in. I'm not into historic place (though I love History subject) or exploring the thick forest or climbing the mountain. !Warning! I might update this post from time to time as I might add the latest dream place I wanna go!
1. Malta
I know about this country from a friend of mine who visited the place with her mother. From then on, I started to search about the country and its beach. The more I see the picture of the blue Mediterranean ocean and the beautiful Azure Window, make me feel like going there now!
2. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
This is one of the favorite place for Lauren Conrad. And I love to go there too! This is my first choice for honeymoon, but Juma refused to get there as it is goddamn far away from MY. And there isn't any direct flight from MY to Cabo (obviously!). But I can imagine myself, lying at the beach, tanning my skin while watching handsome guys pass by!
3. Greece
Ok! I speak too soon! This is one of the historic place I want to visit. And also the geography of the country is unique.
Wow! It had been few days in the row that I'm updating my blog! What an accomplishment! *Pat at my own back*
To those who don't know me, hi there! FYI, I have many friends in this world, all over the places. But I have only a person that I call as my best friend. And today, I miss her so much!
She is my friend since we were in college. We attended classes together, study together, shopping together. She is the first friend of mine that met Juma. She was there on the day I fell in love with Juma. She was the one who dress me up for my first date. (Seriously, I'm holding my tears when I;m typing this out!)
When I had no where to stay, I stayed with her. We fought a lot, but we easily forgive each other. I'm not shy of showing my dark side with her. We hold up many secrets together. We share our dreams as well.
Our husband blend well together. So do our kids. Her kid(s) is like my own to me. I didn't attend her wedding due to transportation problem. She didn't attend mine since her father was ill. I didn't visit her when she delivered her first son as she delivered him far away from KL (why oh why??!!). But she visited me when I delivered Aaron! Yay!
I think, in my freaking opinion on myself, I think it is hard to becoming my close friend. Why? Because I'm so unpredictable. As mush as I admire my husband patience on me, I also grateful to have such an understanding friend. Sometimes, I just tell her the situation and she can tell what I feel.
She is now in the United Kingdom, accompanying her husband pursuing his study. She is heavily pregnant, too! How I wish that I can visit her. I miss her. I think she knows damn well that I miss her.
*I have a photo with her that I pretty much love it (cos both of us look good in it.. what else??!!), but its in Juma's phone. Deym!
Yeah! Till we meet again, Azah. Anywhere you are, I love you!
Scene 1: I was busy cleaning up the kitchen table top, Aaron was sleeping. Maleec was watching tv in my bedroom; then I heard he came down the staircase.
Maleec: Mummy, cookies please!
Me: No, I'm baking banana muffins for you. and showing him the banana muffins are baking in teh oven)
Maleec: Oh Cake ! Yes
Me: (Grrr! Typical man!)!
Scene 2: I was gardening and the kids were busy trying out the gardening tools. Maleec was digging some earth...
Maleec: Mummy! See, rocks! Gold! (showing me some small rocks in his palm)
Me: Itu rock la sayang. Batu. (If is is gold, the I'll dig till the next day and daddy doesn't have to work anymore).
Halo again. How's your day today? Mine was alright. The garbage isn't been collected yet. Juma is still in BKK. I'm not a millionaire yet.
But today I received two memorable phone calls; one from my ex-colleague and another one from ex interpreter. The colleague that called me is the one that I was pretty close with when I was there. She was a good friend where she helped me a lot in terms of work related and also non-work related. We talked about life, family, relationship and gossiping when we have time. It will be me who always go to her room as I have to pass by her room to collect my case.
She told me that one of the manager was asking around on others opinion about my departure. I thought my departure wasn't an issue. I have to quit from my job since there is nobody taking care of my kids. Period.
Ok, before I go further, I would like to emphasize that the comments are not about the organization and its policy. Its Rather on about the individuals.
Frankly, I found that not many people can be called as a boss. Not many people who are the bosses have the attitude as a boss. Being a superior, I believe you have to put the priority on your employee. To make your employer happy, you have to make your employees happy first.
But some managers or bosses are well-known of being bossy or try to show off their power. The attitude is so lame, to me. And I feel that the people who have that attitude have a very low self-esteem. I used to work with a very remarkable manager and till now, I respect him so much. But for the past few months, I've worked with a 'very low standard' managers and I think they are at that position just because they are at the right time, at the right organization.
So, to that manager, it is my choice to leave the job. And please get over it!
The other call I received was so unexpected! The caller is one of the best interpreter I've work with. She is very professional. I appreciate the way she helped me handling the case. Many other caseworkers love working with her. She is very impartial. I had a case where my applicant questions her ability to interpreter and the applicant told us that he didn't need an interpreter. But the interpreter told me that she would be in my room, while the pre-screen going on, in case I need her help. True enough, after few minutes, the applicant was desperately needs her help. I did my first minor case with her as well. And when I did my spring cleaning (since I was moving to a new house); I have so much thing to give away. I gave lots of stuff to her, and thanked her for helping me not to becoming a hoarder. But till today, she can't thanked me enough of all the stuffs I gave her.
These 2 people are the ones that bring bright colors in my life as a caseworker, along with many others. The are some others (but the number is small) who always bring down the spirit of mine while I worked in that organization. But I have a great experience when I was there, helping the refugees.
I learn a lot about life from the refugees's stories. The stories that make me appreciate of what I have in my life. The refugees are nothing different than me. Just that, they can't live in their country for certain reason. They are mothers, children, employees, wives; like me.
Thanks to these people who called me up. Now I know, I wasn't just a worker in that organization. I'm a friend to some people as well.
One of the big challenge I face as a mother is battling with your kid's favorite menu. I was born as a picky eater. And the gene was passed to Maleec, my first son. Eventually, I can see me in Maleec a lot; the way he speaks, acts, express his emotions, the way he sleeps and his eating habits.
Maleec loves noodle. Mee, instnt mee, mee hoon, spaghetti, anything that's long and slim, he loves it. But he just eats it as it is. If there is soup, he will ignore the soup.
He loves mee goreng (fried mee) so much. Usually people fry it with veggie, egg and meat. But he will splash the mee (it is so annoying!), making sure that nothing tag along the mee, before he eats it. He takes lots of time to finish his food as he eats his noodle by pieces.
He hates rice! He just hates rice! I love rice. I can't live without it even for a day. But rice is Maleec's last resort of food. However, I'm so happy today because he eats lots of rice; 5 bowls in total!
As planned, I took the kids to Tesco Mutiara Damansara for groceries shopping. I bought many cooking stuffs as it had been awhile we didn't do groceries shopping. And also I plan to cook every weekdays (Insya Allah), therefore I need to pile up my kitchen with good ingredients!
Since I was late home (I missed a junction and had to make a long U-turn and battled with massive traffic jam), I just prepared simple dishes; ikan masak pindang dengan timun (so I have meat and veggie) and just fried the mini sausage. Suprisingly, both of my sons love the dishes! I was so shocked and of course, goddamn happy. Looking at how much enjoyable the have their meal made me feel worthy of living my career and becoming a full time mother.
Now Aaron is sleeping, missing his daddy like crazy and tired of helping me at our lawn. Maleec is still wide awake, watching his tv.
I'm call it off for today. We'll see what happen tomorrow, ya?
Today marks as the first day Juma left us to Bangkok, Thailand for 2 weeks. This is the first trip of many more to come of this year to Juma. And today and 13 more days to come, I'll be staying in our new house with the kids, alone. So far so good. I cooked lunch, bought french fries from Mc Donald's for Maleec and fried nasi for dinner.
And Anugerah Juara Lagu 27 (AJL27) just finished. For those who doesn't know what is AJL, it is an annual music competition. This competition honours the song writer, rather than the singer itself. I've been watching AJL eversince I know how to watch tv. It's lovely to see how it evolves from year to year.
This year, as other years, 12 songs competed in the final. The songs are:
1. Terukir di Bintang ( Sang and Compose by Yuna)
It's a lovely song as the melody sounds a bit like old school. This song won this year title though Yuna wasn't able to perform during the competition. She is in the USA, recording her latest album. Aizat helped her to perfomed the song and he did this effortlessly awesome!
2. Ombak Rindu (sang by Hafiz & Adira)
This song became a phenomenon last year in Malaysia as it is the OST for a blockbuster movie, Ombak Rindu where Aaron Aziz is the hero in the movie.Besides, the singers were an item during the launching of the song. But their performance during AJL wasn't as good as others.
3. Tanpamu (Amir Jahari)
Sorry, I never heard this song before.
4. Idola (Sang by Azlan & Typewriter, Compose by Azlan)
With magnificient voice of Azlan and good lyric, this is a good song in my opinion. And the performance during AJL was great! I really enjoy the costume. It seems like Azlan loves to wear mask. He wore it when he with MUH, performing 'Untukmu' song in AJL previous year. Oh, they won the second place.
5. Pelangi Senja (sang by Stacy, compose by Taja)
Love to hear Stacy singing in other genre than the usual. The performance during AJL was great too. She looks plum a bit, though. And Taja played the guitar!
6. Lagu (Sang by Bedroom Sanctuary)
I've heard this song before. I though it is a song made for advertisement. Nice and relax song. The performance during AJL was fun.
7. Teman Penganti (Sang by Black and RJ, Compose by Malique)
I love Black's high pitch voice. I love the decoration of the stage of this song. Nice combo. They won the Best Performance Award.
8. Ku Akui (Sang by Hafiz, Compose by Ajai)
Good song, but, what do you expect?! It came from Ajai and who doesn't know Ajai in Malaysia music industry. This song won the third place and Best Vocal. But again, who can deny Hafiz's talent?
9. Simetri (Sang by Hazama & Amy Search)
Hmm.. just a normal song sang by talented people. The dread locks look good on you, Amy!
10. Andaiku Bercinta Lagi (Sang by Mojo, Compose by Edry Halim)
I love this song! Why? I'm big fan of KRU since I was in primary school. I love the lyric of the song at every bit. I love the voice of the vocal, Aweera.
11. Patah Seribu (Sang and Compose by Shila Amzah)
Great song! Seriously, it is awesome. This song won Song of the Year in AIM 2012.
12. Anak Kampung (Sang by One Nation Emcee and Jimmy Palikat)
Very funky song indeed. And a great performance during AJL as well. In my opinion, this song deserves the Best Performance Award. But, yeah, the determination of the winner is via sms.
I think TV3 did a great job. The hosts' script was well written, the prop was well planned, the special effect was amazing... the who;e show was entertaining. Kudos to TV3!
I'm back! I'm so coming back! It had been awhile me not blogging. Don't get mad, give me a chance to explain... here you go!
Like I announced before, I joined IRC-RSC in KL camp as a Caseworker. The job doesn't require me to stay back at work. Work starts at 8am and end at 5pm. Usually I never stayed later than 5pm. My KPI everyday is 3 cases. Regardless what kind of case, I have to do 3 cases. To date, I never do other than Burmese case. FYI, the refugees in MY mostly come from Burma (Myanmar). Hopefully oneday I can share with you the story about the stories I mostly heard during the interview with the refugees.
I was happy working in RSC; work load is not that heavy, the working hours is great, the friends are fine though some bitches in the house!, and the most important thing is I can work directly with refugees.
However, my motehr in-law fell ill and she can't take care of my kids any longer. Plus hubby get promotion (woot woot!) and we just moved to our new house that is quite a distance from the workplace. Therefore, I quit my job.
I'm cool with that. Now, I'm a FULL TIME HOUSEWIFE! Meaning that, more entries are coming, people!
