Wedding preparation...

Of course not mine... I've been married to my beloved husband for 17 years this coming August. Right now if you were to ask me what's the project for 2010... I would give a list of to do things for the upcoming Adik's majlis nikah on 26 March 2010.

My new year of 2010 began with the Majlis Bertunang of my youngest sister on the 2nd January 2010. Asalnya pihak lelaki nak datang merisik dulu... tapi last minute they decided to make it as bertunang as well. We, pihak perempuan, complaint almost nothing but agreed. We rushed to Nilai 3 for the hantarans. Thinking of it, bagus jugak, sebab it been years since my first trip to Nilai 3. We (me and almost all in the family, including our children and adik and fiance-to-be) had fun in Nilai 3 in fact.

.

Our cousin, Kak Ah was sooo kind to hand her expertise to help us with the hantarans. So, we can concentrated on the bertunang menu. Percaya tak, we all masak sendiri kat rumah and tak de langsung menempah. The majlis was held at about 4.30 p.m and the menu was:

.

1. Roti Jala (my brother, Lofty and his wife yang 'menjala' and later other cousins pun tolong)

2. Kari Ayam (of course! I was the cook - 1 periuk besar - almost 4 ekor ayam!)

3. Fried Meehoon with Prawn (Adik her self the fiancee-to-be yang menggoreng - 2 kuali besar tau!!)

4. Kuih muih (makcik Kamsah yang buat - karipap and pulut seri muka - sodap !!)

5. Dessert - Agar-agar santan (prepared by kak Ah - super sedap !!)

6. Hot drink - tea

7. Fruit - omg, we forgotten!!

.

All the above were for about over 70 peoples and the bertunang favors were a small pouch of chocolates. Overall, the majlis turned out Alhamdulillah OK, enough food, even for tapau and everyone was happy especially Adik!

.

The photographer - sampaikan 3 orang including my husband.

..

Oops lupa the tetamu were:

1. Cousins - Kak Ah & husband, Haris & Shidah, Rohaya & husband,

2. Arwah mak's close friends - Kak Falah & husband and Auntie Bibah & husband

3. Aunties and uncles and grandmother

4. Kak Anim & husband

5. Pihak rombongan lelaki - about 30 peoples

I'll upload the photos later tonite. Kat ofis tak leh upload photo. Leceh betul la!

New year...

Once again, I wish all of you a happy new year 2010 and not too late Selamat Maal Hijrah..

.

And yes, every beginning of new year, I would make a list of things to do... Whether I actually cross out everything on the list, that's a different story....

I have to admit that I still have things to finish in this year's list... I'm afraid I'll have to bring forward the remainder of the things to the next year... I am allowed to do that of course...

Besides sewing, I do other lists for other occasions such as 'balik kampung' list, grocerries and used to have a maternity lists for my maternity stay in the hospital few years back...

.

What would be my 2010 lists??? What about yours???

.

I hope all of you will enjoy yourself during the last few days of 2009 and may next year will be a good, healthy and prosperous year to all of us... Amin...

Nadia and PMRnya

I know some of you who personally known me might be wondering what was Nadia's PMR result? Well, she's not one of the PMR's 8As. She got 3As and 5Bs.

.

Me, as a mother, am proud of her on whatever result she produces... I knew she has done all her best.. and never stop praying for her future undertakings...

.

I take this opportunity to congratulate all mothers out there whose sons/daughters have excelled in the examination. We should be proud of ourselves.

.

Next year, Sarah would be siting for her UPSR la pulak..

Lamanya....

Lamanyaa... it has been more than a month since my last update....

Happy New Year to all of you out there who happened to visit this blog. I wish I have more time to do things I love to do these days ~ sewing and not forgetting blogging. I have been extremely busy (alasanlah tu!) with my office work (the auditors were here), busy with the girls, they are at home during this school holidays, busy preparing meals for them before going to office, and not forgetting, being a dedicated, productive 'farmer'... A friend once had an entry about me... that was why lack of blogging...

.

I had one baby's set order and finished them way out of time!!! I had also bags and pouches orders and yet to finish them.. About the baby's set... I'll paste the photo during my next entry as I have yet to copy them from my sister's camera..

.

I am now also busy with the enggagement preparations for my youngest sister. We have been to Nilai 3 to do some last minutes shopping for the occasion. I will also paste the photo later...

There you see.... I am really occupied....
