TT Persona Eastern Region

Terus sambung from the previous post.. Selepas 2 jam ber'shopping' di East Coast Mall, kami bergerak ke 'Benteng' untuk satu perjumpaan ahli-ahli Kelab Persona *hati tidak puas bershopping lagi sebenarnya.. We were there at 2pm sharp as promised. But cant expect much coz many of them are from KT and there were a few from Keratong. Jauh2.. We were the first to arrive, obviously. And they arrived 1 by 1. The last person, arrived at 3.15 i guess.. So seperti biasa, adegan menyusun kereta.. exchanging of ideas.. how to modify their cars.. where to get cheap parts and of course sesi suai kenal.. Huhuhu..

Benteng di Kuantan

Kami, para isteri tukang ambil gamba. The weather was fine. Sunny, windy and alittle bit Hot. but it was good. We headed to fahmi's house in Indera Mahkota, and belasah Nasi minyak. Yummy.. yummy.. Mujur la ada rase malu didalam diri ini, kalau tidak.. memang dibelasah 2 atau mungkin 3 round. huhuh.. selepas semua kekenyangan, they continued taking pictures and rearranging their cars.. we headed back to town a 2 rounds of bowling.. selepas itu, kami semua pulang. yg mane balek terengganu, ke terengganu la.. obviously.. dan seterusnya.. since i am abit tired to even think of a proper sentence.. Layan gambar saje..

Shopping in Kuantan

I have always enjoyed going back to Kuantan, my grandmother's place. Kuantan, to me is 'mendamaikan'. We can see the sea from the balcony of the house. Masa kecik-kecik dulu, there were very few shopping centers available. Then, Bandar Kuantan was the 'in-thing'. Traffic was forever bad especially during public holidays and on fridays. Later on, they 'renovated' bandar kuantan. They widened the roads, and they built more shopping centers. 10 years ago, Megamall was the hottest thing in town. Suma berpusu-pusu pergi Megamall. Then, the shops were not interesting. They have McDs, KFC, and the best thing is.. Vincci.. huhuhu.. But i guess that was all i remember about megamall. A few years back, Starbucks was opened in Megamall.. *but i am not a big fan, really.. So, whenever we go back to Kuantan, its either we stay home or we go to the beach. yeah.. Now that i'm married, i feel that husband too has to love Kuantan as much as i do. But because of time constraints, we havent really had the chance to stay longer that 1 night in Kuantan.

A few weeks back, i said to husband that i wanna go back to kuantan. He said, okay. i said, there's a new mall in Kuantan. and its only 5 mins from my grandmothers house. The newly opened 'east coast mall'. He said, okay.. :) So, last friday, packed our bags and left for kuantan. My parents tagged along. the next morning, he said to me, 'ya, go get ready.. lets go to east coast mall' Mata masih terpisat-pisat bangun tido.. i jumped out of bed and got ready right away. my grandmother and my mom tagged along leaving my father, alone at home. huhu..

To our surprise, there were soo many things there. U name it. It is almost similar to Ikano. Maybe slightly bigger. It is alot better than the Megamall. huhu.. mestilah we shopped a bit. Since i have a lot of discount vouchers with me, so i took every opportunity to spend the cash.. we left mom and grandma at the mall and headed to 'benteng' for a small get together..

We drove back to the mall that very night *gilo hape but we went home empty handed. hahahah.. the second time around i mean. I had fun shopping in Kuantan. I mean, Kl is alot better than in Kuantan. But, for me, its good enough. Kuantan lagi happening! hehehehe.. Lagi la pening husband.. Ok y'all.. xde gamba..

i'll update on Ikan Bakar and TT PersonaClub Eastern Region..Bye

Hari raya with us Part II

The second day of raya, my dad and his siblings held a mini family gathering.. I can say, it was a very successful event. Ramai sangat cousins yg datang and everyone was just so excited! They even loved our rendangs and Dodol!! ahah! Tapi, that very night, we headed back to Kuantan. My grandmother in Kuantan dah siap buat nasi dagang! huhuh.. Tapi suma org puas hati.:)



We werent able to stay longer in Kuantan coz, my bro inlaw whose wife had just given birth were already waiting. So, late saturday friday afternoon, we said our goodbyes to those in Kuantan, and headed back to Ajil. Sampai-sampai je, Ma prepared a kuali off meehun goreng! aaah. sedap. and their neighbours pulak ada barbeque. so we sent them some meehun and meratah ayam bakar. sedaps!! We stayed in Terengganu until monday. Visited my husband's grandmother who lives in Kampung Jerung, Marang. Memang rumah Papan. Dah lama xmasuk rumah papan macam tu. :) and then went to visit to his aunts' houses. best. I got a kain batik as a wedding gift. huhuhu. i have alot now and i can wear kain batik successfully! huhuhu. Played with husband's little niece, Iman. She can already walk by then. Hurmm.. rindu budak kecik tu. After spending 3 nights in Ajil, we headed back to KL on Monday afternoon. Singgah sebentar di Kuantan, again. and at 11pm, we headed back to kl. for real. hehehe.

All in all, i'd say it is one of the best raya i have ever experienced. I am Glad and most Grateful to Allah for all the blessings. Alhamdulillah. I am looking forward to many more Ramadhans and Syawal with my husband and insyaAllah, our children in the near future. ameen. So, to all those who reads my blog (kalau ada) Eid Mubarak from both of us! Sekian.

Hari Raya with Us

Hari Raya this year is different and the most meaningful Raya for me. Almaklumla.. this is my first Eid as a wife. So far, Alhamdulillah.. we had no problem in deciding whose side first for our first eid. *bukan queen control ye! Reason being is, my fathers parents are very-very old, and they are about to sell the house off after raya. Since husband has never experienced raya in Negeri Sembilan, we decided to grab the last offer! justified kan?

It was all good from the journey to Senaling to every thing that happened after that. We reached Senaling early tuesday morning. Chop2 bilik and all. the boys bergelimpangan kat luar *inc. husband. huhu.the very morning, my cousins and us helped my old grandmother prepare 3 types of rendang. He helped to jaga the rendang, went to kedai *gomok, helped maklang to clear some shrubs.. me? i helped with the rendang jugak la. Later, we went to Gedung Sri Minang in KP to get husband seluar rumah. coz i didnt pack any for him. *haku terlupa!! sempat la dia muncung kejap.:) owh and the ultimate event for the day was when all of the cucu's of Hj Basirun decided that we SHOULD have penganan or famously known as DODOL. yes.

We 'perah-ed' 5 rounds of kelapa parut, each besen containing 6 biji parutan kelapa. Imagine~~ The funny part was, husband and cousins lelaki did help too, only to be condemned by my 81 year old grandmother.."aiyooo hai.. Tangan bosar-bosar.. Santan eee manooo?!" We rolled on the floor laughing. We had a great time! The whole process to make a superb-tasting dodol took us only 4 hours. By 1 am, we were done. By 3 am, zzzzzzzzzzz........

EIDULFITR

Got up early, prepare ourselves for eid prayer. Kami memang sempat membaham ketupat dan kuah kacang, and lemang with the oooh-so sedap rendang before we went for our eid prayer. By 10, we were done, and the house was soooooo riuuuhh!! We had salam-salam and photo-taking session. Dalam gembira-gembira tu, adalah kejadian yang tidak di-ingini. My dad's DSLR fell on the floor. ooh. But, it was alot of fun. It was a happy day. that night itself, husband and i, together with our cousins, went to have char kuey teow.. after too much of lemang,rendang, kuah kacang that is. Poning palo den!

okay, yang Part II akan bersambung. enjoy the pictures..

SESI BERGAMBAR

Our big family.

Lastly,

Our little family :)

Tupperware

So, yesterday i became an official authorized dealer for the brand Tupperware. Yeah.
hihihi. Husband was surprised at first. *i guess that That would never cross his mind. I asked him then, "Do u give me the permission to do this?" His replied was "as long as i am your number 1 priority, of course i will allow you to do it. Jangan abaikan abang sudah.."

Anyways.. To all of you, i dont have a sales blog at the moment. You can always go to their website, here. For products inquiry, you can always ask me. One thing you have to bear in mind.. The brand Tupperware offers lifetime warranty for its products. If your tupperware lid terkoyak *this usually happens after many years.. you can always get a replacement (but you must bring the ones thats damaged for proof). I can always help you with that. :)

Please contact me at :nahdia.marizan@gmail.com or afranahdia@yahoo.co.uk

hihihi.

TT

To be honest really, meeting up with a group of total strangers can be quite scary. But, it can be quite interesting. Yesterday, husband took me to join a group of strangers whose passion are cars. Proton Persona to be exact. It was really a fun new experience for both of us.

TT or Tea Time (oops.. silap. It is Teh Tarik. Husband texted me with many exclamation marks for that!huhuhu), as what they call it, began by gathering up at Point A and then they will move in the group to Point B, or C or D (kalau ada la). Last night, we started off at McD's seksyen 22 Shah Alam. It was fun really. there were all together 50 Personas parked infront of McD's yesterday, and obviously there were more than 50 of those who attended. Bini lagi, GF lagi, Friends lagi and so on. We reached McD's Seksyen 22 at 11pm (itu yg mereka bgtau) and we were amongst the first few cars to arrive. I didnt tell you that husband did a quick minor modification to his car. The night before, we had the tyres and rims changed. And i tell you, it was all for THIS event. *you wouldnt want to show off a standard car, would you? Mereka2 ni kereta sudah bikin baek punya.



We ate McD's and had an ice-breaking session. Kenal-kenal orang sikit, borak2 and then we were all called for briefing before we move to Point B. The Mr. President pointed out all the important rules when moving in a big group. *you dont want to pose unnecessary danger to other motorists on the road, plus not many appreciate this sort of gathering. right? After the briefing, baru la nampak tuan-tuan punya kereta. Masing-masing proudly entered their cars. Macam Ayam Jantan tengah mendada kinda look. huhuhu. Funny.





There were marshalls to monitor us and to guide us to Point B. We stopped by at Dataran Shah Alam, then to Shah Alam Stadium. and lastly we headed for Sahur at Bukit Jelutong. All the cars were parked nicely. It was really an experience. we left the bunch at 3 am in the morning.



Just as we arrived home, husband said "Jom kita tukar lampu angel eye..." with a big grin.. Pulak!!

Bueeek!!

Remember i was not well earlier this week? On Monday afternoon, i started sneezing, and soon the sneezing became worse and then it was runny nose. Then, after lunch, i started having lower-back pain. I thought to myself , i needed rest, and asked for permission to go home early. Packed my stuff, asked for permission, and started walking out. Many saw me going home, and they started asking me. I said i was not well. Lower back pain, and all. The thing is, they all laughed at me. Kenape pulak gelak? orang demam, die gelak. They said, "pregnant nii!". I said, that can't be, coz i dont feel pregnant. You can actually feel u are pregnant if you really are you know. They kept telling me that. ape2 tah. So, I got 4 days of Total rest at home. Such heaven. Husband did take a day off to look after me. *padehal, dia malas nak pegi keje. huhuhu..

Came friday, i started working. I punched in at 9 am because i have to stay back until 6pm that day, so i missed the morning prayer. As i was walking to my work place, i saw the faces i last saw on monday. They came to me and started whispering at me. You guess? the thing is, words spreads like wind in my department. Suddenly, many came to me with winks and smile. All expecting 'the' answer from me. "betulkan awak pregnant?!" or "ye ke pregnant? dengar2 ari tu xsihat? pregnant ek??" Aiihhh.. I wished it is true. But no I'm not. I am not pregnant. yet.

Kadang2 stress jugak. Sebab, people expect you to get pregnant like soo soon. I am only into our second month of marriage. And people are all over me waiting for 'the' good news. It's like, that is all thats being asked these days. pregnant? yes? no? No. Susah betul. My inlaws pun xtanya gitu. If ada rezeki nanti, ada la. Siapa yang xnak anak kan? I mean, if you were to ask me if i want to get pregnant now or later, i would definitely say now. but thing is, i am not yet pregnant. hurmm. But i guess, i can still tolerate the questions. will see how far they will go with the questions. I'll take it all as du'a. Hopefully menjadi kenyataan. Ameen. hehehe..

okayla, nak ciao. Salam Ramadhan.

Demam

I have been under the weather since monday. Started off with cold fever with very high temp. and now, blocked nose (annoyingly both nostrils) and dry cough. hurmmm.. tried o*xymetazoline to relief the blocked nose, didnt work though plus the dreadful dry mouth as the side effect. oohhh. help me GOD! I'm practically.. breathing through my mouth. And you know how annoying that is. I hope i will be better soon.. Plus, we will be on our way to Terengganu this friday. lagi la kene be in tip-top condition.

Tadi, i sent the car for service. Since husband is away at work, i waited for them. It didnt take them that long to get it done. i sent it in at 815. and 10am, my car is ready. Service biasa je la. Nak balek kampung! huhuhu.. okay yo..

My baby niece

I have just found this awesome software that could do magic to the pictures i have in my laptop. And i tried it on my niece's Pic. Anfaal. gigiiit!!!

Cuti Raya

i dont want to be alone...

I nearly shed tears after being told that we can only apply for Raya Leave either before or After hari Raya. It doesnt quite make any sense to me though. I texted husband to inform him, and i know he wasnt happy when reading the SMS. Aihhh..

So, to keep myself up & happy, i drove myself to PKNS and bought meself a jubah. huhuhu.. and got a few photos printed. hehehe.. And now, i feel alot better. haih.. kerja-kerja..

My husband's niece

Everytime she sees my husband, she will make her way to him. When he holds her, she will smother her face onto his face. She thinks he is her daddy. Poor girl. But, her daddy will take her to the family back to Sarawak soon. So, i guess it is time to enjoy this little cutie while we still can. Right? By the way, Nur Iman Fatihah is her name.

husband & his favourite niece

Husband asked me to put her picture here because he said, she is so cute and adorable. haih.. i want one.

iman

lets laugh!!

curik 'piah' tokki. cute!

iman, stares hard at her aunty. huhuhu..

we plan to spend a few days of Ramadhan with my in-laws. I so cant wait. I love going back to Terengganu. yeaaay!!

.rest.relax.

aaah.. feels good to be home. Home early today coz i have to work late night. hmmmph. tonnes of things to think of at work, about work.. and aaaaaaah. here i am at home.. away from work. Poor husband. Just a little update on our trip to Perhentian Island during our long hols.

.us.

We stayed at Arwana Resort, on the Perhentian Besar. We took this package by A*njung Holidays, which includes meals for 3 days, and 2 snorkelling trips. The best part was, the resort we stayed has a swimming pool. So, that helps for people like me. We arrived at Kuala Besut jetty quite early that is. 9 am after we sent Tok back to Jerteh (besut). we reached the island 11 ish. the thing is, we had to drop others at their destination first, and indeed, we were the last. But the water was so clear, u can see the beautiful corals on the seabed. even if its 10m deep. and owh, so breath-taking.

We went for snorkelling that very afternoon, after lunch. ahahaha. we were supposed to go to 3 different stops. huhuhu.. but something happened. U guess? i wasnt that confident to swim without the life jacket on. Husband as always refused to put the life jacket on. *lantakla, janji dia xlemas dah. hehehe.. the corals were green, there were so many colourful fishes, and best of all, we saw 5 sharks. we were awe-struck at one point when seeing one shark. but later, when we saw there were 5?!! kecut perut jugak la. huhu.. According to the man who took us snorkelling, 'if touch, dangerous. No touch, no dangerous' ... that did got me rolling on the boat. *kidding.

so, have you guessed what happened? Just as we were about to set off to the second spot, i got dizzy. I really couldnt tolerate the waves. Boats keep passing by, sending big waves, and got me rocking on the sea. i really couldnt stand it. and i threw out in the man's boat. there goes my lunch.. all of it! damn! husband asked the man to send us back to the resort, and i made a promise to husband that i will not join him for snorkelling the next day. ahahahaha.

I spoilt myself with a session of spa while hubby is busy looking at beautiful corals and shells the next day. waited for him at the beach, and had lunch. The food was good, always good. We enjoyed our short trip to perhentian. It was all great. Great scenery, great weather, everything great. hurmm.. On our way back to Ajil, we stopped by at Jetty Penarik to get FIL some crabs, Batu Rakit in KT for lunch, and Pulau Wan Man for a trip inside the Masjid Crystal. hehehe.. okay then.. enjoy the pics.

.redup.

.the jetty.
.beautiful.

.Corals.

.termenung sendirian.

.goodbye.

Selamat berpuasa to everyone. Salam

Bonding session

We just got back from Terengganu after a good 2 weeks holidays. Well, it was actually the Majlis Menyambut Menantu on my husband's side. Alhamudulillah, everything went well. My family came in 10 cars, my aunts and uncles and their families, i cant thank them enough for spending their time and money to join me in Terengganu. They went back straight after the wedding but did manage to stop by at Pantai Kelulut, Marang for a feast. Huhuhuhu.. and left me at my PIL's.

All in all, it was all new experience for me. I have been to my husband's kg, 2 times before we got married. But, mase tu.. Malu-malu lagi. I still get the ..'eh, xpela.. biar ma buat' sort of reaction. But this time, it was different. I am already part of the family. and they are so very nice to me. Sometimes, they still treat me as a 'budak bandar yang xpenah masuk Kg' but its okay. I enjoyed my stay with my in laws. Aboh, he's a man of few words. He doesnt speak much, and i got nervous whenever i try to have a conversation with him, but, there was one night, we had dinner, Husband and MIL was watching TV and there were only the two of us. Aboh can be quite chatty. He talked about his experiences of going fishing, the types of fishes he got and all. And i am so glad. I thought that bonding session was the best ever since husband and i got married.

Other than that, I got to know alot about my husbands family. Different than mine, but i like it. I got a session of full body massage. My masseur was Tok. huhuhu. Nice eh?! tu la.. ceni, everytime balek, kena cari tok. She told me this.. "Urak toko ni.. urak teghik" I had to ask husband to translate for me.. huhu.. I am still learning to understand their Unique language. But so far, i think.. i am doing well. :)

Yesterday, before we head back to KL, PIL packed us with lots of things. Pucuk ubi, owh tonnes of it.. Jagung, bertongkol2.. Pisang tanduk, sedap digoreng.. Buoh ttene or famously known as petola, and bendi.. 1 kg of bendi. Terima kasih ma aboh. Mudah-mudahan murah rezeki kita semua. All in all, i had a good time in terengganu. Getting to know my new family and the relatives. I still have a lot of memorising and recognising to do. But i guess, i still have a long time to get to know my new family. But, i am so glad. I am glad.

ciao

Terengganu

We're all ready to go to terengganu. Hip hip!! Hooraaay!!!
Aimi, Have fun in KL yo! muuaaah.

Sad Vs Happy

Yesterday, Husband came home with a long face and muttered,"they gave me a farewell party, sedih rasenye pulak". I didnt know how to respond at first really, because i do understand so much the feelings of letting go. I hugged him, i said.. InsyaAllah you will meet nice people in your new place. My husband will be posted to PJ as an enforcement officer. Work starts monday. But, i know his passion is not in doing raids and best of all paper works! But hey, Kami yang menurut perintah. hummmph. Poor husband. Today, on our way home from our friend's engagement ceremony, he mentioned it again. I smiled to him, ensuring him that come what may, i will always stand by his side. :)

As mentioned earlier, today, our friends, Nazha & Faiz got engaged. We are indeed so happy for both of them. U see, we were the ones (not exactly), but we did helped them to actually get together, and now they are already half-way through to becoming husband and wife. CONGRATULATIONS korang! cepat-cepat sikit kawen! i have yet to upload pictures from my camera. so, that will come later. But i was really happy because we got to meet friends whom we've not met for a while. huhuhuh.. Since we got married *just 3 weeks ago i've been getting questions on 'dah berisi ke?' 'dah pregnant?' from many.. I wished i am. but hey, we've just got married for 3 weeks. I am just glad.

Owh, more updates. The department held a farewell party for us PRPs. Despite it being a farewell party, we were told to provide food and presents for the department. huhuhuh..anyways, the party went well, everyone had fun. especially us PRPs and those who are close to us, PFs, PPKs and some of our bosses. we bought 2 sets of 21 pieces of big Apple donuts, and everyone went sugar-high. hahaha..including me. enjoy the pictures.

Beratur skema-skema. Thanks Adam for the very nice shot.

Ready, set! JUMPP!
But what happened to the rest of them? still waiting to jump?
fairuz and myself, already in the air! hahahahah!

erk! cot, sakit sembelit ke?

Half of us.. i love this shot. I took it, thats why!

hurrrmm.. memories..

That was it. I do have more. But i am so lazy to upload the pictures. Yes.. Huhuhu.. yang penting, everyone enjoyed the photo-shoot. Huhuhuhu..
till then, toodles

128th

Again, here i am for my 128th post. Baru!
nevertheless, i couldnt believe that we are already into the second week of marriage. I mean, it isnt really hard to cope (at the moment at least) with the changes. But we are still contemplating whether to further our studies and come back as tutors or to wait for JPA scholarship for another 4-5 years. At the moment in time, we are really considering to further our studies. Myself at least. And getting pregnant. We dont intend to get pregnant anytime soon, but IF it happens, we are most grateful. So far, as of now, i am most grateful to Allah for all that the has blessed me with. Alhamdulillah.

Next weekend, would be the reception at husband's kampung. I cant wait to join him there. And we will be on a week long holidays. That means, going round Terengganu, meeting new family members (me, that is) and then off to Perhentian for our VERY2 First honeymoon. Allah Willing. But there are things that we havent done yet, that is to go get my husband a matching baju melayu. Tomorrow ya sayang?

on a total different note, i just bought meself an electric oven, courtesy of the department i work in. They gave me RM250 and told me to get whatever that i need. And i know i need an electric oven. I do need it because sometimes, i need to bake. Plus, my colleagues bought me a nice kenwood mixer. (i wished it was the super mixer) but hey, its good enuff really. I bought it today,because husband had to work night shift... sob2.. We actually went to Ikano yesterday to look at the ovens at Harvey Norman's. We saw the Kenwood electric oven. But they were all out of stock. NIL. The only left was the display unit. Then, we went round to Tesco, (hoping that they have a reasonably good one) but husband wasnt keen on buying an oven of a different brand (i really dont know why) because he made it quite clear that he didnt want the other brands. And i found it at JJ OU. Owh, thank god. But it was still difficult to decide on the kenwood that i bought. But i have bought it anyways. So i guess, when i move into our own house, i will have to bake more often. Wink wink..

As of now.. I am desperately waiting for the most-handsome guy on earth to come home into my arms. I really do miss him. Haih. okay aimi. Bye-O

Our Wedding

At this moment, i am actually waiting for my dear husband to come home from work. I had to work night shift tonight, which explains the dire need for my husband to come home early. I just need to spend time with him before i go off to work tonight. hmmmph..

Anyways, that pic was taken during upacara membatalkan air sembahyang. The man in green is my new Aboh, and the lady in maroon is my new Ma. My in laws. I am so happy to see them smile in the picture. :) Just a little information on my wedding. The akad was held at Dewan nikah Masjid Wilayah. * i think it is very convenient to have the upacara nikah there. We had friends from afar attending our nikah, some came all the way from Sabah and Sarawak. We were very happy, and grateful. I am glad that the Akad went smooth and it was all good. I am not sure of what to write. i guess, i'll continue writing later, k?

One week
