Running around at Taman KLCC while chasing Husayn

The last time I went to Taman KLCC, I was a practical student and Husband (who was not even my boyfriend at the time!) was supposed to supervise the practical students. We went for shooting (me, Husband and two of my friends who were also doing our practical) at the park and if somebody told me that 6 years later I would be going to the park again with Husband and our kid I would have laughed that to their face.

Anyway I got so restless spending the holiday staying at home that I begged Husband to go somewhere, it doesn't matter whether it is near or far as long as I got to get out of the house. And so we went to Taman KLCC and Husayn loveee it there! I spent most of the time chasing after him that I felt as if I am the one who played at the playground.
This cheeky little boy even have the guts to nearly cakar other kids at the playground! Luckily I managed to tangkap his hands and we cabut as soon as we can. Haha.

Mama's boy went across the bridge alone!

After playing at the park, we went inside KLCC and while waiting for Husband did his Asar prayer, we played at the kereta mainan near toys r us. What really irritate me was while Husayn was playing inside the car, there was this little girl coming along, wanting to play too and keep climbing beside the car. And then her mother/granny came along and she did not even bother to pick up the little girl! My little Husayn of course retaliated back and cakar this little girl's face since the girl kept pushing him and wanting to climb inside the car too. I don't blame the little girl since she's a little kid and of course she's being kids, but the girl's mother/granny should at least take care of her and did not let her to kacau other people like that. It pissed me off and at last I took Husayn off from the kereta mainan and we went to the baby room instead to feed him.

The girl is on the right! Hoho

Next on the list maybe Taman Burung, KL and Zoo Negara. I just realised that I have 'neglected' places of interest that is around the corner and prefer outside KL instead. But I guess now is the time to make up for it!

Ma'al Hijrah and some trivial thoughts

Salam Maal Hijrah to all Muslim Readers!

To non-Muslims who are reading this, Maal Hijrah is actually Muslim's New Year and today all Muslims celebrated Maal Hijrah, but I guess I'm quite sad reading about the bombing in Palestine. We in Malaysia are celebrating Maal Hijrah with peace and we even have a Tokoh Maal Hijrah here, but our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine are suffering. I pray that Allah will give them strength in this toughest of times.

Some thoughts that I have as a Muslim:
1. I am disappointed because when talking about the Hukum Hudud people will become scared and keep saying about the potong tangan thing. Does this people really know what is Hudud all about?

2. I used to despise a friend of mine who did not wear tudung and when we went out with her other friends, her other friends will look down on me because I wear tudung and call me ustazah.

3. Malaysia need more bands composing and singing nice Islamic and ketuhanan songs like just like those Indonesians did with Ungu and Gigi and honestly I think it will appeal more to the masses more than the nasyid songs.

4. I feel guilty for not paying Zakat Pendapatan, not even once in my life!I pledged to do it this year before 31 December. And to think that you can get full rebate in your tax for paying Zakat Pendapatan! I just did my calculations in here. Next year I hope to do a monthly potongan gaji. No wonder I always felt that my gaji is not enough!

5. My heart soared everytime I saw Ka'abah on tv. I have been fortunate to go for Umrah once before, and I thought nothing looked more astounding and beautiful in my life than the sight of Ka'abah. And to see it life before your own eyes is even more extraordinary. I hope one day I will have enough rezeki to do my umrah again, and insya-Allah Haji.

6. And I thought Hollywood is not helping by stereotyping Muslims as terrorist, just like the media and the rest of the world did. But then they are Hollywood, what do I expect? Not all men who are bearded and have their first name Mohammed is a terrorist you know. Wait..that sounds like my Husband! Haha..Anyway one of my aunt kept calling my Husband Taliban because he has beards all over. Hahaha.

Happy holiday again and again to all. I will be on leave from the office this whole week and I think I am just going to stay at home and practice being a stay at home mom. Not that I will become one though. But it's good to be a stay at home mom once in a while, even if it's just for one week! I honestly believe staying at home with Husayn will be more tiring than going to work! Stay-at-home mom have all my respects in the world because not many woman can do that job!

Guess what is the above picture? That is a love bite courtesy of husband Husayn! He was really mad at Husband for not letting him play with the water, and Husband passed him to me. So I dukung him and he ended up biting my arm! Ouch! And yesterday this baby of mine also happened to bite his 4 year old uncle's nose until it turned purple! Kesian kan? I have used the "NO!" method and membebel method or marah him, but he still keep on doing it. What should I do now? Helppp..

p/s: somebody said kasi je dia rasa cili kat mulut dia so he won't bite other people again, but guess what Husayn sometimes like his food spicy!

Going to the office when most of us are not going but I can google for Edward Cullen freely without anybody knowing!

The office is nearly empty today but I am the unlucky one to be in the office. Well, not exactly since it is obviously my choice and anyway next week I am going for a week long leave! Not going anywhere but maybe laze around the house and settle a few things.

Let's go terbang-terbang with the vampire!

And last night I have managed to catch the much said Twilight. I have read a few blogs drooling over Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen, and I guess they all do have reasons to drool! As for the movie, the plot was simple but love is made complicated because Edward is a vampire. After watching the movie I said to husband, "Kenapa awak tak romantik macam Edward ni?"..And guess what he replied.."Isk..buat apa?" Hahah..my Husband's typical answers.

Watching Twilight somehow made me reminisce about my teenage years. Mine was full of teenage angst, slamming doors (at parents of course..my, I must sound really horrible!), loud music (I lurveee Korn and Limp Bizkit, not to mention Weezer and I have quite a collection of cassettes back then!), trying to fit in at school since our family move a lot, the unforgettable cinta monyet and then liking someone else and not telling anybody about it, that kenapalah-aku-tak-cantik-macam-dia feeling...oh it was all sometimes twisted and complicated. I thought my mother was having quite a time handling me and my teenage angst and I honestly will go pening myself if ever Husayn do follow suit and I really hope not!

If you still have not watched Twilight, I'd say go watch it now and immerse yourself in the undying love of Bella and Edward. Hehe..by the way did you realise that every Christmas, Astro will re-run the Home Alone 1,2 and 3 movies? But I still get laughing stitches everytime I watched Macaulay Culkin and the two bandits in the first two Home Alone movies. As for Home Alone 3, the kid is not as cute as Macaulay Culkin so I watched a little bit only-lah then change channels. Hohoho.

The cute as a button Macaulay Culkin!

Happy working to anybody who is rajin enough to go to the office today and happy holiday to those who are still lounging in beds at this hour! Seriously, I envy you. Hehe.

Saya berdoa dan melepaskan geram

Ya Allah ya tuhanku,
tensennya aku dengan suamiku yang kurang nak berpaham bahasa ni! Arghhh!

*p/s sorrylah kerana membawa masalah rumahtangga ke sini, tapi saya amat2lah super marah tahap tertinggi sehingga tiada idea lain yang datang melainkan kemarahan ini. happy holiday!

Yong Peng is definitely not for the faint hearted

Last weekend we went to Cha'ah fo my cousin's wedding. If you are wondering where is Cha'ah, it is somewhere 20km++ from Yong Peng. Previously my mother said we are going to stay for the night at the cousin's house in Cha'ah. But somehow my father changed the plan again and we ended up searching for hotel in Yong Peng. Now, now.. a decent hotel in Yong Peng is particularly unheard of and the idea of searching for hotel in that idea is actually painstakingly hard!

There were two that we found, the first one was Hotel Zaifa, which when you initially looked at it resemble an Arab names, but then I rolled my eyes and there I saw underneath the hotel Restoran Zai Fatt! Clever la this guy since he bluff me. Husband and my father went inside but the guy at the counter layan tak layan so Husband and my father ditched this one. We found the second one which is Hotel Sook Heng or something (more like motel!) and we managed to secure the most expensive room there which has double and single bed at RMM63. Now, it's not everyday we get to live in the most expensive room in the hotel right? Haha. Well, at least they have decent toilets though I thought the place looked like the kind of place Jabatan Agama will do their raid. Hehehe..

The red circle is the glorious Sook Heng!

But then, I thought it was an adventure and I always love adventurous trip but I hope I am not going to this type of hotel again soon..hahah. And the next morning we arrived at my cousin's house around 9am. The kampung name is Desa Temu Jodoh, comel kan? Haha.. The tok kadi then arrived and somehow I don't know where he got the idea, but he actually thought I was the bride! Isk, tak nampak ke anak saya ni tok kadi..haha. I was actually wearing the same outfit during the Zubye photoshoot and I don't think it is an outfit that bride would wear.

from l-r: cik yati (my auntie), me, acik (my sister) and my mother

The actual bride and the funny tok kadi

The pengantin lelaki actually made the tok kadi waited for a good half an hour! But then at least they arrived and my cousin has become a wife! And unluckily my camera ran out of battery after the above shot..haha.

So if you ever passed by Yong Peng and thinking of staying at a hotel here, I think it is better if you go to Batu Pahat instead. Batu Pahat is sooo very wayy much better and unless you are willing to use tuala which is koyak-koyak and live in motel-like hotel- my advice stay away from this Sook Heng!

The make my pimples disappear project

Hi, that was my face 2 minutes ago. See that eye bags? No I was not crying or anything, my eyes are just naturally built that way..haha..And did you see the pimple scar on my right side of face? That is what I am trying to get rid of right now. Honestly I'm not a really make-uppy person. All I usually do every morning is slap some moisturiser on my face with some loose powder and maybe a concealer or two for that ugly area and then some blusher and finally a dash of lipstick and I am good to go! Or else if my skin has better days, I will only put some moisturizer and lipstick and I just dash off.

Back to the pimple story, it happened a month ago, and it was actually 3 huge pimples the size of China on top each other! My hormones must be running crazy! The first week I took it easy and just relax and hoping it will fade away, but on a trip to Semua House, I ended up going to this kedai Jamu Afrina intending to buy the Krim Kunyit Tia Amelia which is said can make pimple and the scars disappear. But the sales girl somehow made me part with my RM76 and I ended up with this weird sounding products that I don't know why the heck did I buy that for. And the products did not even work! So watch out ya if you go to this Kedai Jamu shop, they will promote you their products and pandai-pandai will kutuk other products in their shop.

Anyway I finally managed to buy the Tia Amelia Kunyit Cream (yes I know it sounds disgusting but it works on my skin! ) and the cream coupled with my Olay Total Effects Cleanser and Cream are working super hard to erase the stoopid pimple scar from my face.

Well at least I really hope it will look better before I attend the Malaysian Dreamgirl thing in January where I am supposed to blog about. I cannot imagine my face resembling the surface of the moon when I am suppose to come face to face with Elaine Daly and hundreds of gorgeous girls! So pimples, please please disappear.

p/s: I still have not post the Gin & Jacqie bags to the two winners! Sooo sorry for the delay. I promise it will be this week!

Tagged and toilet!

Are you an Awang or are you a Mek? Haha..my family has just came back from a holiday in the Pantai Timur area - Kelantan, Terengganu and my brother snapped this photo of a toilet in Terengganu. And I thought that was the most creative toilet labelling I have ever seen! Hehe..

Anyway there's no Amazing Blog Friday again today since I have been quite busy but today I want to do some tagged that I have been procrastinating. Thank you for the tag and sorry for not doing it sooner! But here it is..

The first one is from BabyIbu

1. Berat sebelum mengandung
53 kg

2 .Berat terakhir mengandung sebelum bersalin
72 kg ( haha..I felt like an overheated balloon waiting to pop during this time!)

3. Berat selepas abis pantang
55kg..but don't ask me my current weight as I am too afraid to weigh myself. Hahah..Thanks to being stressed out and eating chocolate everyday without feeling guilty at all!

4. Apa yang korang suke makan mase mengandung?
Anything that boleh di makan-lah of course! It varies actually..the first 3 months I cannot eat the thing that I always eat and instead prefer mee goreng and toast for breakfast, laksa for lunch and my favourite drink during this time is actually Sprite! But after the dreaded 3 months my gluttonious self is back and I especially love all the sweet stuff until my doctor reprimanded me! She kept saying nanti baby besar lah, nanti kencing manis lah..No wonder I ended up with a 3.6kg of baby Husayn!

5. Hospital mana anda bersalin?
Kelana Jaya Medical Centre, PJ. And I was c-sect! Later when I think back, why lah the doctor don't want to properly teach me how to push..Hmm must be the big money that came with the c-sect kan! But I guess next time if I want to give birth again, I might try doing it at government hospital, since I'm a government servant so it's for free! Hahah..but see whether I can tahan or not..Anyone who bersalin at government hospital care to share their experience? Hehe..

6. Tunjukkan gambar anda masa pregnant.....at least 5 keping
Oops..don't know if I have 5pcs of my pregnant post since most of my pics are lost during the great hard disk crash. But I'll paste what I have here..

Me with my ex colleague, Shima at my previous office @ 7 months pregnant

Husayn in the womb, cannot remember which month is it..

I have only two so hope it will suffice! Hoho..

Tag:
1. Ariffda
2. Pink Mama
3. Nadiah Khair
4. Mommy Sarah

Baik tak I only 4 people for the tag? Hahah..Silala buat ya..

Tag No 2 from Ariffda

Tajuk:TAG Bergambar

Motif:Mengimbau Kenangan dolu2..

Syarat-syarat

1.sila amik gambar.. mcm gambar yg diatas ini.
2. dan letak kan di blog anda. citer skit pergi mana pki macam ni time dulu-dulu..

How dulu-dulu is considered dulu-dulu?
Haha..mine is not dulu-dululah..just 2-4 years back..so lazy to scan all the dulu-dulu pictures..Hehe..

Cannot remember when did this pic was taken but it was at Pizli's wedding (bila ya kau kawin Pizli?) The wedding was at Besout and the awan (yes the clouds people) is totally healthy and subur and so bulat-bulat like all the awan that you see in fairy tales and drawings! By the way Husband and I were just engaged during that time and hey what do you know, I am wearing the very same outfit today! Hohoho..

3. TAG 6 orang..
Alamak..don't want to tag anybody lah. But if anybody want to do this feel free ya!

Actually I have another tag from Ariffda but since I am in a rush right now, I guess I have to postpone this one. By the way tomorrow I am going back to Johor again for a wedding! I love love weekends ( especially long oneee!). Happy weekends ya!

p/s: By the way got this email from Mia and Mika who has been featured in Amazing Blog Friday. Apparently Mia & Mika will be joining an offline sale event this weekend in Jalan Maarof, Bangsar. Hop over to their website for more details on the event.

How do I unblock the block websites through the wonder that is proxy

Yesterday I was browsing using proxy to access blogspot websites and somehow I found out that my office no longer block blogspot! But unfortunately Facebook is still blocked but then I guess I can find my solace in Blogspot again! So if you used to have a problem like me, for example your office block certain websites, you can try to do as below to access those blocked sites. But please bear in mind sometimes, a few functions did not work, for example when I used the proxy sites I cannot access all Haloscan comments and my Nuffnang ads did not appear.

I used to access the blocked website using http://www.webriot.info but I found that this websites have problem accessing this couple of days.So instead I used webprxy.

1. First go to http://www.webprxy.info

2. See the URL space under the Google Adsense? Just enter your favourite url there..

And click browse!

3.And it will appear like this!

You can still leave comments but I found that Haloscan comments cannot be accessed. So that will answer your questions how do I manage to access blogspot even though it is being blocked at my office all this while. But now that it is unblock again I guess I can ditch this proxy thing! But one have to prepare should they block again..that's what they have been doing all this while anyway.

So hopefully this will help you. And if you want to see a list of all proxies site you can go to AZ Proxies.

When I was a kid..

When I was a kid...

1. I used to think that we actually change to other different races as we grow up!

2. I listened to Wings' album Hukum Karma everyday before I went of to school and this was mainly when I was in Standard 1 and Standard 2.

3. I had my first crush on Joe Wings, but right now even though I am older (though I cannot say wiser!) I still have heart leaps every time I saw Joe Wings!

4. I slept in the school bus everyday and sat right beside the Uncle who drove the bus and that Uncle had to wake me up every time we have reached my house.

5. I did not even go to kindegarten!

6. I learned reading by reading the newspaper, usually the section would be the rancangan tv hari ini. Now who said that reading the rancangan tv is pointless?

7. I love collecting stamps so much that I koyak the setem hasil in my parents' and my own passports! And of course when my mother knew, I got a good spanking after that! Ouch!

8. I love collecting and reading the 5 sekawan series. My favourites are the one with Eddie, George, and a few others and then the other 5 sekawan series have this Gemuk and Encik Goon..That one is so funny and I love reading it all over again!

9. I also was guilty of hitting all my my parents' pokok bunga kertas until it turned botak. Until now I don't know why I did that, it just felt 'tak salah pun' at the time. Haha.

10. I will cry every time my mother picked me up late from school, or the bus came late and once when I was in Standard 3 I even walked back to my home..alone! Apparently my uncle overslept and missed picking me up. Luckily he found me somewhere along the road..crying of course!

11. Even a taxi driver has pujuk me not to cry when I was 9 or 10. Mother's car was punctured so she has to picked me up by taxi and when they came I was already crying by the roadside..but this time in front of the school. Haha.

12. I love playing handball everyday until my mother bising since I did not help her in the kitchen. No wonder I cannot cook properly until now!

13. I cried again when I found out that the whole family is moving to Kota Bharu from PJ when I was 11.

14. And I hated Kota Bharu the first time I set my foot on its school!

15. But at 12, school in Kota Bharu is definitely lovely! Though I took quite some time to get used to the language.

16. I watched the last time Malaysia ever won the Thomas Cup! It was exciting and the whole neighbourhood in our house in KB actually celebrated when we found out Malaysia won!

17. I was accused of stealing somebody's boyfriend when I was 11! And that girl called me 'gedebe' (lebih kurang macam eksyennya kot..) . Oh and the boy was my next door neighboor!

18. Anyway the next door boy always intai2 me everytime he ride in front of my house so I suspected dia ni macam suka aku je? Heheh..so perasan!

19. I went to my first circus in Kota Bharu! It was the Royal London Circus!

20. I also became a big fan of 4U2C. Haha.

21. And I had my first period at 11

22. And also first pimples!

23. I also had my first bicycle accident! A car hit me from behind by the roadside and I was not injured but I ended up falling from the bicycle and the car driver paid me RM20. Haha

24. Most importantly I also had my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th brothers and sisters!

Oh how I missed those carefree times!

What I bought with my RM100 Nuffnang Friso voucher

Remember the RM100 MPH voucher that I won during the Nuffnang Friso thing?
Before I went back to Perak the other day, I managed to persuade Husband to go to MPH One Utama for book shopping. I just figured I will have lots of free times during my stay in Perak so I guess it would be nice to bring along some books. Yes, I am guilty of being a bookworm and I actually read while breastfeeding Husayn! Well at least it will keep me from dozing off like I usually did before.

Here are the books that I took super looooong time to choose that Husband kept giving me that impatient look. Like I mention before, I honestly wish it is a RM500 voucher instead of a RM100! Haha.

1. Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom (RM29.90)
I have heard so much about this great book and it revolves around a relationship between a professor and his student - don't get me wrong ya..not those kind of cintan cintun relationship, but more like sifu thing. I have been reading too much fictional story all this time, so I thought it would be nice to get this title for a change. Might teach me some of life's greatest lesson too! By the way I still haven't started reading this one yet.

2. Cecelia Ahern's 3 in 1 box set (RM64.90) containing these titles:
i) A Place Called Here - Cecelia Ahern
I have never bought or read any Cecelia Ahern's before though I have heard a lot about her other 2 books which are PS I Love You and Thanks for The Memories. And I actually finished the above book while I was in Perak! My first impression? I initially thought her story will focus on romance like Judith McNaught's or chic flick maybe ala Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. But the above book is more on fantasy side and I honestly hate the ending! It is also full of flashbacks and sometimes not that eventful for my liking..haha..But nevermind, there are other 2 Cecelia Ahern's to be read on later and we'll see..And below is the other two titles in the box set that I still haven't started on yet.

ii) Where Rainbows End - Cecelia Ahern

iii) If You Could See Me Now - Cecelia Ahern too!


Three books for RM64.90? I thought it was a bargain! Hehe..

3. Petunjuk Jalan Kekayaan by Dr Rusly Abdullah (aka Chef Li)-RM29.00
Of course I want to be rich that's why I bought this book! Haha..But honestly it would be interesting to read Chef Li's ideas. And maybe get rich along the way? Hahah..I wish!

Thank you to Nuffnang and Friso for the voucher since I cannot remember when was the last time I spend money on books. If I buy books I'd rather go and buy at warehouse sales or Pay Less Books since it is so much cheaper. But I guess it is still a good bargain since I got a total of 5 books though I have too add another 20++ since I exceeded the voucher. Heheh..I've mentioned before that I meant to buy Rhonda Byrne's The Secret but after checking it out at MPH it retail price is at RM79.90! So bloody expensive for a book so little in size! But I just found out that MPHOnline.com is currently selling the same book at RM55.93. Cheaper than buying at the shop! So next time if you want to buy some books from MPH do check their online shop first since some books are cheaper online compared than the one at the shop. But if you want cheaper cheaper books, wait 'til MPH Warehouse Sales!

Separuh akhir Muzik Muzik Pop Rock and Hurray for Meet Uncle Hussein!

Muzik-muzik pop rock category is my most favourite category, although sometimes I cannot even recognise some of the songs! Haha..ignorant like deodorant (this rhymes, so what the heck.haha), I usually flipped through the radio on my way to work and back to home, but of course having a Husband who looooove listening to KL FM made me go bonkers at times! No offense to KL FM fans but sungguh tak cool. Husband said KL FM has the best traffic info. But who need traffic info on our way back when it's ok to go slow pun. It's not as if pagi pagi have to rush to the office to beat the thumb print machine. Hihi.

Eh I meant to ramble about last night's Pop rock semi final. So now that we know the complete finalist for the Juara Lagu who do you root for? I of course am rooting for Meet Uncle Hussein's Laguku Untukmu! The I-don't-love-you-anymore anthem is therapeutic and their performance really rocks! But I have a few random thoughts regarding this Pop Rock semi final nite:

1. Does Elyana need to squat like that? I love Kalis Rindu but I thought her performance was so-so and she performed the whole thing while sitting down on the floor and amazingly she also wear those damn shoes! And I honestly I thought her song was selected for the final based on the lyrics alone. Hehe.

2. What's with the longer than life eyelash for the Fabulous Cat female singer? "Woi bulu mata dia macam bulu mata unta la!" my sister shouted. Victims of fashion and I was just wondering how can she managed to open her eyes during the whole song and the whole night? Luckily did not qualify for the final or God knows what kind of bulu mata will she wear (ya Allah kejamnya ayat2ku ini, but honest opinion counts, people! Haha)

3. Have anybody really seen Bandi Amuk without the topeng?

4. The drummer guy from Estranged is...hensemnya!

5. And instead of Sofaz, why don't the jury choose Spider instead! I know Tam Spider looked like he just got back from pasar malam and then rushed to perform at the semis (perumpamaan sahaja ya) but the I love the guy's' voice and Sofaz...suara tak macam kat radio pun..apalah!

6. Lastly, what's the motive of Ziana Zain qualifying for the final using some sort of wild card qualification? It's weird and I thought it was kind of awkward that they are announcing it during the pop rock category nite. Well actually I was hoping that the instead of Balada, someone/some band from the pop rock category will qualify instead! (Spider lah tu..dah tau dah! Haha)

Sorry for not having any pic but if you did not manage to catch the show, maybe you can go to TV3 website or even YouTube?

Gin & Jacqie contest winners and results

It's the moment that you have been waiting for!

As promised after much deliberating, thinking, browsing, choosing and then choosing again and again, I finally have decided on the two winners for the Gin & Jacqie bags. But before that I would like to apologise to those who did not win since it is really tough in choosing this two but I believe this two entries are what I am looking for. Believe me, if I am kaya like Oprah I will buy each of you readers this Gin & Jacqie bags, just emulating what Oprah did by giving a car to each of her audience during one of her show!

And the winners are....

1. http://idajer.blogspot.com
Why I choose this blog?
Ida was the first person who sent entry for this contest and her entry is really hillarious. Haha. I mean she's a gym lover and to think that she usually use a plastic bag as her gym bag? I don't know-lah whether it's true or not (you can ask her about this yourself..haha) but her creativity and wackiness kind of got me. So Ida, for those troubles that you used to have with your plastic bag, it's time to ditch 'em and start life anew with a Gin & Jacqie's Hobo Bobo!

2. http://aliaathirah.blogspot.com
Why I choose this blog?
Of all the entries that have been submitted, only Zuhaini has provided some kind of solution for this bag turning into a multi purpose bag, although it is actually a gym bag. The one sentence that got me is this : plus, the side pocket for shoes can be turn to diapers compartment! How cool is that!

Well if you did not win, fret not since there will be another contest that I will announce next week where you can win another Gin & Jacqie bag again! But not the hobo bobo type..this time it will be this one! Yes the pink one!

Lastly I would like to thank all who have participated this contest. You guys are just marvellous and Jacqie even told me the other day that she enjoyed reading all the entries for this contest! Thank you, thank you and thank you yaa..

The road to Taiping...we dropped by Kuala Kangsar first!

Before we set our foot at Taiping we went to Kuala Kangsar first. Well even though Husband has a few relatives in Kuala Kangsar, he has never really brought me to the town of Kuala Kangsar itself! So after we finished visiting his relatives around the area, off we went to Kuala Kangsar, the famous Bandar Diraja!

We were greeted by this huge pintu gerbang as soon as we enter Kuala Kangsar. The town is so clean, well maybe due to its Royal Town status. And you can see the military jet pejuang and kereta kebal gracing the town. Is there any reason for this? I honestly don't know, but it makes good pics though!

The kereta kebal by the river

The jet pejuang by the roadside

Unfortunately Husayn was fast asleep during our 'rendezvous' in Kuala Kangsar since I believe he will be truly excited looking at those kereta kebal and jet pejuang. Haha.

Mama's boy sleeping peacefully and missing all the fun!

We also made a stop at Masjid Ubudiah which is famously known as one of the most beautiful mosque in Malaysia but we stayed in the car since Husayn is sleeping.

Masjid UbudiahJangan lawat masjid je ya..solat jangan lupa! Hehe..

The road at Kuala Kangsar is so clean I feel like I can lie down on the road without worrying any dust! The place is also so serene and peaceful and well taken care of. Even the nearby sungai look squeaky clean! I mean how hard it is to find a clean river in Malaysia?

The road near the Istana Iskandariah
The entrance (or issit exit) for Istana Iskandariah. View from the back of the car.

The above picture is the Perak Royal Museum which is right across the Istana Iskandariah. This place used to be the old istana but they have turned it into museum. Anyway since I arrived here on Hari Raya Haji which was also public holiday, the place is closed. So we only took some pic from the outside. See that man in black sleeveless shirt? Right after this photo was taken he actually tergolek in front of the museum and his hand was scratched. I don't know whether to kesian or to laugh..haha..Seeing a tall mat salleh tergolek in front of the museum is certainly not a sight that you can see everyday. So I just seize the moment. Hehe.

Of course a visit to Kuala Kangsar will not be complete without visiting the Malay College Kuala Kangsar or famously known as MCKK. Some of the country's most famous was schooled here and that include the most famous of them all - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim! Mind you this is on the basis that all I saw is his name hogging the media these days.
If you are wondering whether there is any supermarket/shopping mall in Kuala Kangsar, they have The Store here and Kedai Sakan! I saw a few branches of Kedai Sakan here and I thought what a name! Marilah berborong sakan, ya!

One of the Kedai Sakan

Anyway our jalan-jalan in Kuala Kangsar was cut short due to Husband's urgent need to go to toilet. And since it is public holiday, most of the public toilets here were also closed! Kuala Kangsar, you need to improve on the toilet thing! And all along I thought this little town is near perfect! Anyway toilet aside, do come by here. The quaintness and the atmosphere will surely get to you!

Oh I so love jalan-jalan! So whoever want to sponsor me and my family jalan-jalan please do so! I will accept it with open heart! Haha..

p/s1: Mommy Lily and OliOle have left comments that their blog in blogspot have been removed! Alahai kesiannya. So what should us on blogspot do? Can we do a backup of our blog in wordpress for safety? Might do migration of this blog from blogspot to wordpress for safety reason and as a precaution.

p/s2: I just read Mommy Lina story yesterday and I cried. May Allah give her and her family the strength that they need. Semoga segalanya dipermudahkan.Amin!

p/s3: I will announce the winners for the Gin & Jacqie bag at approximately 12pm today! So hold on to your shoes and see if your names are up!

Supermummy grinning in NST

Remember this post? The one regarding the NST thing? A colleague of mine somehow stumbled upon this write up in today's NST and came to me.."Intan, kasila address blog.." and I was "uh-oh...dah kantoi dah"..Hahah.

I have my own reason for not sharing my blog with my colleagues and I guess I was traumatised due to this one event when a colleague accidentally stumbled upon an old blog of mine, and there I was kutuk kutuk her in full glory! Of course she was mad like hell but I did apologise and she said she forgave me and so I really hope she forgive me for real. Haha. And so you won't find me kutuk-ing any colleagues in here. If I want to kutuk pun more to fun kutuk-kutuk lah..Hahah..

Oh ya, anyway the other day NST interviewed me and today the pic of me, Husayn and Husband grinning has finally materialised!

If you have NST try to find the page until jumpa since I cannot remember which page is it, but if you are too lazy to cari or beli the NST, just go here!

From Taiping with love

Hi I'm back again!
So what did you do during Raya Haji? I of course went back to Taiping and it has been quite a journey, not to mention an interesting one too. But before we went off to Taiping, we went to Ipoh first where my sister in law and her family are and stayed at her house for two nights. And little Husayn ran riot there and menunjukkan his belang..eh taring kot since he kept biting and pinching his cousin who are 4 months older than him.

If anybody have any idea how to stop your child from pinching and biting other people do share with me. I am certainly out of idea! Haha..Kesian lah the cousin kept crying everytime Husayn dera him. But then he's so fast and cekap I tell you..I just turned around for a second and there he was cubit his cousin lagi! Adoi..

And the cousin in question is in white shirt in the above pic by the way. Husayn's cousin turned 2 on Raya Haji so Happy Birthday to little Faris Amir! Ampunkan mak ngah ya since I am apparently not fast enough to catch Husayn's hands or stop his mouth from biting you.. Hihi..

This is my new red shoes for jalan2 during the weekend and for non-office days. I love 'em flat and comfy! Anyway the previous one was also a flat peep toe shoes and it nearly koyak since I kept using that one. Suka tak the buckle on the shoes? I totally love it! In fact that's what got me buying the shoes on the first place! It's no Manolo or Jimmy Choo, eh tapi saya sangat suka sama this shoes!
And that was me with Husayn on our way to beraya @ Kuala Kangsar. It was also my first time tasting the daging kerbau! And they made the daging kerbau into spaghetti! And I actually cannot differentiate between daging kerbau and lembu..since I thought it tasted more or less the same..It was day full of makan-makan and I was so full, but still at night we bought nasi jugak as soon as we reach taiping..And so there goes my diet plan!

This is the first house that we went and Husayn kept wanting to play outside just because he wanted to kejar some ayam!

And that house is actually located besides the sawah too! Lovely place! They even have this swing under a tree, just like Bawang Putih Bawang Merah where the girl sing buai laju aku nak kahwin dengan anak raja..haha. If you are wondering whether that is my baju raya, yes I guess it is. I did not bring any baju kurung so I just wore those with jeans. It's a good excuse to wear those with my red shoes and Gin & Jacqie bag!

Oh I don't know why I put the above ISA place. Since we are at Taiping, we are actually very near Kamunting, which is the ISA people! So bloggers jaga-jaga ya, apparently the powers that be sometimes love sending bloggers to this place. Hihi. And I just also know that my father's housemate when he was in the university was also in ISA. Oh wow. By the way my brother in law also work here. Tapi takpelah tak masuk pun in here, I'd rather pass by je pun. Haha..takutlah pulak.

Anyway I just found that I am officially one of Malaysian Dreamgirl blogger! I went totally berbunga bunga reading the email..so I guess you'll be reading Malaysian Dreamgirl post soon! Keep on reading ya...

Tanah runtuh at Bukit Antarabangsa

*Piccas courtesy of malaysiakini.com

I would like to express my deepest condolence to all the victims of the landslides in Bukit Antarabangsa. It was definitely shocking especially after the tanah runtuh at Jalan Semantan and to think that it is only a few days before Hari Raya Aidiladha. I could not imagine to those who live around that area who has been evacuated for safety and the number is there's thousands of them! Hopefully it will be a lesson to all of us and if you know Malaysians, they surely will make this an issue for a couple of months, and after that they will totally forgot about it. Oh well, I guess it's a case of Tuhan nak tunjuk pun kita tak paham-paham jugak kan?

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and Selamat Balik Kampung!

Hari Raya Haji will fall on this Monday and Husband, Husayn and I will spend our Hari Raya Haji at Perak. Husband is still unsure whether it will be spent at Ipoh (his sister's house) or at Taiping (which is his birthplace) but if you ask me I don't mind spending it both at Ipoh and Taiping since I love jalan-jalan so much..and so does Husayn! So what did I buy for Raya Haji? It's Malaysia Savings Sale (which is the equivalent like the usual sale but with different branding I guess) and I bought nothing for Husayn. I guess it came as a surprised to myself since I am usually the first to spend my money on him but I guess for this one I have to make exemption since I desperately need new pants, jeans and shoes, since all that I have are all worn out. Haha.

Yesterday (which is Friday) and government servants have 2 and half hour off for lunch time (which is from 12.15pm to 2.45pm). When I first worked here, I thought the looong Friday lunch time was quite unnecessary but I guess since we are already provided with that, why don't I make full use of it instead! Haha. And so my colleagues and I went to Sogo and I accidentally spent a few hundreds there! Haha. Well, I swear I need all the things that I bought anyway and it was no impulse buy! I really cannot afford impulse buying since I am on my way to my debt reduction plan, which is 0 balance in my credit card by March 2009! And since I was too lazy to beratur panjang to take out money, I nearly nearly used my credit card again when I suddenly remember that we can pay by using our Maybankcard (yes the ATM card!) at Sogo. Thank goodness' for that or if not bertambahla lagi hutang.

Anyway today we are going back to Perak but before that I have specially requested Husband to bring me to MPH One Utama. For what you ask? Remember the RM100 MPH voucher that I won? Well, i sure will spend it all today! And I thought RM100 was quite a small sum if you want to buy book (since books are so expensive these days!), come on Nuffnang next time please give us at least Rm500! Hehe..

Lastly, I want to wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha! Drive carefully if you are going back to your kampung and those who are going to be ber Hari raya in KL, don't be so sad. I'd say go and lawat your jiran or relatives instead! If they are not home then just go to Sogo where there will be lots of people lah! As for me I will be on leave until Wednesday but hopefully I will be back at KL by Tuesday!

Supermummy has been featured in Malay Mail!

I was first approached by Sheila Rahman of Malay Mail on 27 November through email inviting me to be featured on Malay Mail Cyberspot's section. Of course being a sane person who totally thrive on being featured in the media I jumped on the chance! And yesterday the write up came out. If you have missed it, here's the full version

Life as a Super mummy
By Gabey Goh
December 04, 2008

One of the many joys of motherhood is, without a doubt, the sharing of your personal hobbies and loves with your child. Done with the secret hope that they too will derive from them the same joys.

For Intan Zalani, the mumcum- blogger behind Malaysian Supermummy Unites (malaysiansupermummy.blogspot.com), the love in question is football.

“I am a big fan of Manchester United, have been ever since I was 13 and I hope my son Husayn will also support them as well, but my husband is a big Liverpool fan and he is trying to convert Husayn into a Liverpool fan too!” reveals the bubbly 27-year-old civil servant.

Blogging has been a welcomed outlet of expression and exploration for Intan, a handy method of documenting her life’s journey. Not to mention an excellent avenue for practising her writing skills.

“I used to have doubts about writing my blogs in English, but I guess I am now comfortable with my chosen path. I’ve received a lot of comments from readers encouraging me to write in English as it also helps them to improve their English as well,” she says.

With an effervescent take on life as a wife, mother and career woman, first time visitors to her blog are sure to leave with a smile and perhaps a sudden urge to do some online shopping – one of Intan’s other loves.

How and when did you start your blog?
Malaysian Supermummy Unites was born on May 1, 2008. I don’t know what actually inspired me to use “Supermummy”, but I guess it is some sort of sarcastic remark at myself since I am so far from being a super mummy! Besides that I also like to think that all mothers who visit my website are “supermummies” themselves, hence the name Malaysian Supermummy.

Currently I get about 1,000 hits per week and I am really working hard to improve the traffic. The most comments I ever had came when I posted my experience about wearing tudung (head scarves) and of course, as a blogger, comments are like the lifeline of a blog. There are few blogs I’ve encountered with more than 50 comments for each blog post. Isn’t that amazing? I hope to achieve that someday!

What were your reasons?
I started this blog because I want to share the joy and despair of motherhood with people out there, regardless of whether they are mothers or not. Since I am a big fan of online shopping, I am also doing my part to help promote Malaysian women entrepreneurs who have online shops by having a special section called Supermummy Amazing Blog Friday.

This weekly section features interviews with women online shop owners and I am doing this free of charge! Usually the entrepreneurs give discounts to my blog readers in return for the promotion. As a sign of appreciation for my readers, I sometimes hold contests and give freebies.

Has blogging changed your life?
My life has certainly changed due to all this blogging! Can you imagine trying to come up with new and exciting ideas to write fresh post everyday? For me it is sometimes tiring, especially after a busy day at the office, but I love that feeling, knowing that your post has touched other people and the comments certainly keep me going.

Blogging also has turned me into some kind of camera freak. I now arm myself with a camera, since I like my blog entries to come with pictures. The bloggers that I’ve met online have also been wonderful and I really learned a lot from them.

Any regrets over this?
Are you kidding? Blogging is certainly one of the best things that I have done. Sometimes people will try to judge you from your post and it’s irritating, but for me you just have to take things easy and go with the flow. After all, once you decide to share your life with strangers on the Internet, you just have to accept that not all people will like you.

Foremost feature in cybersphere that amazes/irritates you?
I am amazed that I can type anything on Google and I will find the answer! It’s like, why would I want to waste my time asking others when I can Google and get thousands of answers. I know this seems a little bit weird, but I found this truly fascinating and helpful.

On the other hand, the one thing that really irritates me is having to deal with viruses. I experienced this once and I ended up losing all my valuable photos – of my honeymoon, my pregnancy and even photos of my son during his early days into this world!

If you had to really choose one blog to interact with, which would it be?
This is a tricky question, but it would have to be my favourite site, Celebrity Baby Blog (www.celebrity-babies.com). I love reading about all Hollywood celebrity lives and if you want to see the complete coverage on celebrity babies or pregnant Hollywood mums then this is the site for you too!

In fact, when I was pregnant I constantly went to this website just to browse through those fabulous Hollywood mums’ bump and style (and sometimes secretly wishing I looked as good then when they were pregnant too!). I wish we had this type of blog for Malaysian celebrities’ babies too, instead of the usual trashy stories that we are constantly bombarded with.

Through Cyberspace communication many things can happen. What would you really like to achieve?

I dream of having a complete listing of all Malaysian mummy bloggers! I also hope that my blog can be a source of information and inspiration for all Malaysian mummy bloggers regardless of race and religion. It would be fantastic if we not only knew and supported each other online, but also in real life.

If there were someone you could influence to take up blogging, who would it be?
Definitely my father. I think he would be a great football blogger since he is such a big fan of English Premier League. And you wouldn’t believe the kind of comments he makes when watching Premier League matches! Anyway, I just found out that my father also reads my blog!

Any memorable incidents?
Most memorable incident will be attending a parenting bloggers gathering for the first time. It was my first ever gathering and it was great. Most important was that my son really enjoyed it.

Additional thoughts?
To all parents who still don’t have a blog, I suggest starting one today! It will be a great way to document your children’s life journey, and yours too. You can also gain a lot of information, tips and exchange experiences with other bloggers.

To add icing to the cake, you could also earn some money through blogging and if you are lucky enough, you will be cyberspotted by Malay Mail!

My special thanks to Sheila for the opportunity and Gabey for the wonderful write up!

Let's go away for a while. You and I. To a strange and distant land. To stay on a holiday. Faraway.Let's go today!

2008 is coming to its end and what a year it was! I started my job as civil servant, Husayn has walked and turned 1, a few death-some expected some unexpected, it is certainly a year full of ups and downs. Anyway where have you been this year? I've been to a few places, some for work and some for holidays. Here are my list..what's yours?

1. Zoo Taiping
Husband is orang Taiping, so naturally of course I really want to go to Zoo Taiping. But again naturally Husband usually sleep his life away everytime we went back to Taiping, but on one fine day, I managed to drag him to Zoo Taiping. It was sometimes during Chinese New Year earlier this year and of course Husayn kept bulat bulatkan his already super round eyes and look so jakun. It was Husayn's first experience at the zoo after all. Watch out for the monyet bontot merah at below pic background!

2. Teluk Cempedak, Kuantan
The first time Husayn went to beach he went to Teluk Cempedak! Gorgeous place, happening joints and not to mention a lot of mat rempit during the weekend night too! We went to Kuantan for my friend's wedding and stayeed at Vistana. The hotel is quite near Teluk Cempedak so we went Teluk Cempedak twice when we were there, once during night and once during the day. Great place to lepak lepak and eat keropok lekor too!
Eh I just realised that Husayn's shirt at Kuantan is the same like the one in Zoo Taiping!

3. Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
I went to this place twice for courses this year. The first one was in March and it was the first time I was ever away from Husayn. I dragged my pumping equipment along since I was still collecting milk at the time and pumped away early in the morning and before I slept. Honestly, you won't miss a thing if you don't spend a night at this place. I mean there's nothing spectacular, well except for the afternoon and night show. Sungguh kagum melihat all the drags menari!

4. Genting Highlands
We celebrated Husayn's first year by going to Genting Highlands. It wasa day trip and it was really fun! Husayn still cannot walk at the time but that was certainly not an excuse to not play anything. He enjoy a few rides here and there and he kept shouting excitedly. I plan to go Genting again next year and spend the night there..Pasti lebih syiok!
5. Kem BTN Gunung Pulai, Kulai, Johor
I mentioned this one in my previous entry and truth to be told I don't like this one a little bit. The brainwashing was too much and it was even worse since my group was an all Malay group. I don't know if anybody else suffered like this but my other friends who went to other BTN camps said they really enjoyed it. Then mine must be the worse..haha. I mean I know I am a civil servant but don't brainwash us as if we don't know anything and we cannot think for ourselves. And I don't like that this people think that country is above religion. As for me, religion is my number one priority and country is number 2. I certainly rather have no country than no religion. It was weird since I usualy enjoyed all the courses that I attended even though I have to be away from Husayn for a few days, but this one I certainly beg to differ.

6. Sabah
It was the trip that I've waited for months! A few months back I booked Air Asia tickets for a mere RM340 for 2 adults and 1 baby. And the trip was really wonderful! From being panicked seeing Husayn cried at Pasar Filipina, to marvelling at the wonder that is Gunung Kinabalu and being gayat while walking along the Jambatan Tamparuli and having to 'climb' Banjaran Crocker on our way to Keningau at 9pm since the van cannot climb with our lebihan muatan..it was an experience that I don't mind doing again! Read about it here.

Well I guess that was it. As for 2009 travel plans, we haven't plan anything yet, but probably even if we go it will be somewhere that will not cost a bomb, or does not need an airplane to go there since 2009 is going to be my getting rid of debt year! As for upcoming course for next year, we have been told that next year's courses are all going to be either at the office or around KL only due to the cost cutting thing. Oh well, hopefully everything will go accordingly, and we all will live happily ever after ya!

Lazy tag Wesnesday..scroll down below if your names are also tagged by me..haha

I got this tag from my friend Liyana in my email, but I decided to do it on the blog anyway. So here it is..

By the way I am still scratching my head in selecting the winners for the Gin & Jacqie bag. Hopefully the results will be out by next week and stay tune to see who are the lucky ones!

Of Husayn and spoon and treating your children nicely (so they won't grow up and hate you)

Husayn is a good boy so he feed mummy instead of his mummy feeding him. Haha. Well, actually he kept going to the kitchen and took all the spoons and mangkuk and play with it and then pretended to cook. I don't mind if he play with all those plastic one but I sure will have a heart attack when I saw him picking up the one that can broke into pieces!

I went to one course last year where the facilitator asked us to tell story related to family. One of my Senior Director also went to the course and he shared this interesting story. In the story he shared how he has watched this happen to one of his relatives. Let's say his relatives name is Mat. Mat has 4 children and since small he always love his 3 out of 4 children. The reason why he doesn't really love his fourth was because the kid was not so smart in class. His 3 other children were really smart and always excelled at school. Anyway they all grew up and the 3 smart ones went to university and ended up with high paying job. And the not so smart one still stay with Mat. One day (cea..macam cerita bed time stories la pulak..ahha) Mat fell sick.
And since Mat really menyampah at his fourth one, he kept asking for his 3 other smart children.The 3 smart ones came but only once, when all Mat really want is for them to sit beside his bed and took care of him. But after that one time, the other 3 kept sending their drivers should Mat want anything and that made Mat disappointed. While the not so smart one took care of Mat and bathed him and fed him.
After some time Mat just realised that his not so smart child has turned into his caretaker and really love and care about him even though he has been not treating him well over the years. And so Mat realised his mistakes and he thought "What have I done?". But then he is grateful that he still have one child to rely on..and so they live happily ever after la kot? Hehe
Anyway the lesson here is don't la membanding-banding love like this. Of course sometimes we can't help have our favourite child kan, tapi don't be like, ok mama sayang dia ni sebab dia pandai.. cantik...yang dia ni pulak mama tak sayang sebab tak pandai, selalu susahkan orang..Sometimes the pandai and the cantik will grow up and succeed in their life and they will move far away and too busy with their life to care about the parents. And that left the tak pandai one who is not so busy with their life to take care of the parents instead. You'll never know what will happen in the future kan..

I thought it was a good story and well, at least it made me learn something. As for Husayn, well at first he fed me with the spoon and then he actually hit me with the spoon pulak..eii

Supermummy went to Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out!

I was so excited to attend the Nuffnang Friso thing since the day before which is Friday. Well, actually I received a call from Nuffnang and they informed me that I have been selected as one of the bloggers that will be interviewed by NST on Saturday! How cool is that to have your blog in the newspaper. And on the very same Friday afternoon, I received a mail from Malay Mail who also want to feature this blog in the newspaper! It was a Friday full of murah rezeki and I am so thankful for that!

OK back to the Nuffnang Friso event, we went off around 10 something and I have Husband to blame for that! I was so mad and moody that morning since he woke up quite late and
he actually scolded me for waking him up. But alhamdulillah we made it to Kizsports that morning and it was my first time there!
Anyway my husband was still fuming when we reached there so I just ignored him..haha jahat kah? But since I know sooner or later he will cool down by himself I just let it go.Husayn got a t shirt so I changed him into his Nuffnang t-shirt and I got to wear the above badge! Somehow remind me of Eminem song..you know the Hi my name is..what..my name is..who..haha..
As soon as we got in Husayn was pointing at the above sea of balls. So we went there and at first he was quite takut-takut to play but when he got his groove, there's ain't no stopping him!
Oh lookie here..swimming in the sea of balls and throwing it at people! Did you receive the email about a parent complaining that they found dirty diapers and lots of dirty stuff under this balls thing at somewhere in US I think..but Kizsports of course bersihkan? Haha..I managed to walked inside the sea of balls and there's no dirty diapers that I stepped on...so no worries there ya!
Husayn was having darn great time at the event that he kept running around like super excited or something. If people don't know maybe they thought that I never brought my kid out of the house.Haha. Oh, but my little Husayn actually beat up 2 kids at the event too! I was so embarassed. The first kid was a boy who I think is older than him. I was nearby but I did not realise that he actually pinched and bite the boy until the boy cried. I was so horrified and to think that boy's mom was also watching. Oh malunya! I apologised but she said it's ok. I don't blame her if she felt like pinching Husayn for hitting her son. The second one was a Chinese girl who looked around 4 years old. It was near the slides and Husayn cakar-ed the girl's face. This time the girl's mum was not around but her sister was there. She was also crying out loud. So should this victims' parents are reading this, I would like to offer my sincerest apology! I guess it was also my fault since I missed it by a heartbeat.
I was so busy chasing after Husayn that I did not get to join the other events. And I did not even get to know other bloggers personally, maybe due to my muncung-ness since I was still mad at my husband . Haha. I saw redmummy but only from a far. She's some sort of celebrity blogger kan and I thought of to tegur her or take some pics with her, but macam tak sempat lah pulak. As for the NST interview, I guess you just have to wait until the coverage came out. The NST photographer also took picture of our little family so I hope my jerawat also will be somewhat blurred should the pic come out in newspaper. Heheh.
And here's a picture of me lounging around after tired of chasing Husayn. The paper bag beside me is from Friso and have some samples of friso milk. We got other paper bag as we sign out which contained 2 900g Friso milk and 6 pack Dutch Lady chocolate milk. Oh I so love it! Friso's generosity is simply unbelievable.

By the way I did not win the grand prize which is the holiday to disneyland. Sawanila.com did! Congratulations to them. I did win the RM100 voucher from MPH though and I thought it was really cool! Now I can go buy the infamous Rhonda Byrnes The Secret book that I have been eyeing for months!

All in all it was a great experience, and I hope Nuffnang and Friso will organise the event again next year! I mean you don't get to meet other parenting bloggers often and this event really achieve its objective. And the venue was superb too since it provides the opportunity for kids to play around..Hip hip hooray to Friso and Nuffnang and all bloggers!

p/s: by the way I did manage to go downstairs to Nichii during lunch time and bought a dress or issit tunic, whatever lah..at RM29.90! Isn't that el cheapo or what?
By the way the white hand cover and inner is mine, the dress/tunic that I bought is only in the turquoise area ya..I saw a black and white polka dot dress and I really love it! But I did not buy it since we were in a rush and I had to try it first before buying it. Maybe I will go to Nichii again to grab that polka dot thing..hmm maybe..
