Mr. Husband together with his friends has organized a trip to Mabul Island, Sabah in June 2009... and to be honest that was the first time I was amazed with what I saw and what I have experienced and even more amazed it was in Malaysia...

Read more to find out why.....

I first was hesitated to go as I understand from Mr Husband that we had to travel for one hour from Tawau Airport to Semporna and another one hour from Semporna to Mabul Island on top of 2.5 hours by plane. Especially thinking about our little Emir who was that time only 3 years old and would be the only child in this group.

However, my husband never failed to convince me .. well, any husband would first learn the secret on how to tackle the wife right ? hehe..

19 June 2009...

Three of us came one day earlier via Malaysian Airlines.. Can you see how comfortable my son during the journey??

and we had stayed a night at Seafest Hotel Semporna, the only business hotel in Semporna. I might say it was a quite city, but our view was just pleasant as we have forced the receiptionist to get us the seaview room.

Our happy Emir during our breakfast at the hotel

Next day when the group came, we had gathered at one spot at the jetty. Foreigners were everywhere as Mabul island is next to Sipadan Island and yes, Sabah is famous for its beautiful islands and sealife. Off we were on the boat for one hour.. and  for 4 days and three nights

"I found my root, they are a small community in Malaysia, but they have thought me to LOVE the WORLD, befriend with our nature, enjoy the world from your eyes"...........

LOVE WORLD - FACES OF MABUL

Malaysia is so famous of multicultural diversity to that our faces has usually brought down to three different categories:- Malay, Chinese or India and the rest we just called as Others. In Mabul, they might fall under Dan Lain lain category. BUT they are fresh, pure and clean from any chemicals. Have a closer look in their eyes, you could see that ALL of them have sparkling eyes as they eat everything fresh from the earth. One of Mr.Husband's friend told us that their eyes consumed good protein and that is the reason why they own a sparkling eyes..

LOVE WORLD - LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Live your life to the fullest. When bad things happened to us, always we thought that we are on the losing team, neither that we think that they are thousand people out there who dont even reach what we have and to be like us it is just a BIG dream. In Mabul, I was touched to witness the life of Bajau Laut tribes. For many years they live in the ocean on their house boat and we have been told they cannot live on the land. If they do so, the will suffer a BIG headache. To us, they live in poverty, but they are not. They are happy cos that is their life. Ringgit means nothing to them. Kids are still dancing and adults are still laughing.

LOVE WORLD - LEARN FROM THE CHILDREN

Middle picture: Yours truly and Emir with the kids

In understanding the good about life, children is your best teacher. Since we have lost our most precious external hard drive, I  could not show you how was Emir happily playing around with the local kids. He played football and hide and seek.

It was so easy for him and the kids to get along with each others but as an adult, we sometimes took ages for adaptation process as we are afraid what other people will perceive.

Kids are creative, they just dont look at one point. They see things from different perspective. Mabul kids, their parent doesnt own a TV, doesnt own a computer game. To that, they will play with their surroundings. They play with what they see.. Kids are active, kids are running and kids are friendly.

LOVE WORLD - LOVE YOUR NATURE

First of all, the middle picture is my Mr. Husband. Can you see how beautiful the world is? Can we find any location with this view in the city? Sadly no. We are rushing almost everyday and not to forget, we stress ourselves almost everyday too. We are only thinking about us and the family and I bet most of us forgot that they are other living things who still need our attention.

I dont ask you to hold the chicken like that, neither I ask you to take the water from the well, but I would love to encourage you to love and protect our nature. Our nature especially in city area is dying. But in Mabul, everything is still untouched, they get the fresh air, they get the best healthy food in the world, and they live in a healthy life.

LOVE WORLD - THE ENVIRONMENT LOVES YOU

I always believe What you give you get back, if you treat people nicely, then people will treat you nicely, but if you do bad things, then just wait for your turn to be treated the same. In Mabul, the care about the environment as they "work" with each other. They always have the best view, the best sealife just behind their backyards. Us? We have to travel all the way to get these.

I was so touched to see the kids collected all the rubbish and "tanam" at one side. I asked them, and they said they did this every day "kalau tak nanti kotor". You see, they are not selfish, they dont even question who throw the rubbish. 

And oh, do you know, why many of them have red hair? Mind you, it is the original red hair due to too much exposed to the sunlight. So goodbye dye dye hair.

Baskin Robbins Prize Giving Ceremony... and kejadian tak diingini

and it was the last event for me with Baskin Robbins.. 

Received a call from Vivien and she informed that the management decided to organize a small prize giving ceremony at Sunway Giza on last Friday at 9 pm. So, later in the evening, at first we decided to witness the most talk about Hot Air Balloon in Putrajaya before heading to Kota Damansara. But, you know-lah KL is being cursed every Friday after office hours. The jam was terrible, and the slow moving traffic definitely killing me. So, instead of wasting our time for this unnecessary stress, we then changed our way to Kota Damansara.. when suddently I received another call from Vivien, informing there was a slight changes of the program time, instead of 9 pm, now I have to be there at 8.15pm and that time was already 7pm+. Nasib baik kiterang dah dekat atas jalan.. tau tau la kalau nak tunggu bersiap sorang-sorang tak sempat punye
 

dan selepas itu, kejadian tak diingini berlaku..

ok.. we stopped at one of the R&R to perform our Maghrib prayer (serious lupe but definitely on the way to Kota Damansara la kan)... and Emir followed his father to men's surau. Tak tau laa angin ape, I yang habis solat dulu dari derang, ok most of the time, they have to wait for me :D.. so while i was waiting for them at one of the bench outside the surau, i heard Emir's voice, happily talking to his father.. ok lah kan fine..

SUDDENLY...

i heard his crying.. and it was a terrible, painful cry.. i terus laa berlari... and ...

his finger was smashed in the door!!!.. bayangkan lah budak kecik punye jari telunjuk tu tersepit!! ngeriii ok, and jari dia terbengkok bengkok... mase tu tak de pikir nak amik gambar ok sebab Emir memang menangis gile gile punye....

dalam hati nak je cancel pergi ceremony tu nak bawak pergi doktor, then when I tuned him to some funny story, he stopped crying.. but was not in a good mood. cos everytime he thinks about his finger, he started to cry again... jari bengkok babe..

at that time, the best we could do was put a cold mineral water to his finger sbb dah mule bengkak.. but yes, we were still heading to KD :p.

and the show has started, the co organizer was Radio 98.8 *Chinese radio.. and they had actually something going on before. but by the time we arrived, they were about to present our winning video.. walau dalam keadaan sakit, tengoklah, Emir bangge tau, muke dia ada dalam TV tu, and lagi bangge lepas habis tu orang tepuk tangan...

and you know I just realized, each time, I won something big, Emir has to sacrifice. Remember when I won the American Idol trip to LA, the next day saje Emir was admitted because of H1N1. and now, his bengkok jari... ya ya, maybe kebetulan..

dah namenyer event Baskin Robbins, haruslah dapat makan free Baskin Robbins kan, and Emir has no mood to eat ice cream, can you believe it!! he had no desire at all!! but anyway, we even more bangge cos some audience of that day came to us and congrats us on our winnings... 

and sekian....lepas tu tak bawak Emir pergi doktor pun, dah melompat lompat katak balik :D




   

Parents..

Too many events happening last week, and early today, received sad news from my ex superior in E*Y , Kak Roza who her father has passed away peacefully late yesterday. Alfatihah, moga roh Arwah ditempatkan orang yang soleh.. Apologize to her that I could not make it to pay a visit as I was not feeling well today, however, on top of what we have SMSes, I was so touched when she SMS me and said "I already miss him mira"...

Agree.. regardless how old we are, our relationship and love to our parents will never be replaced. and to face the fact that someone that we love will no longer be with us is not easy.. Moga Kak Roza dan keluarga tabah menghadapi ujian dari Nya..

and so to us who still have our parents with us, talk to them, share your stories with them, tak kisah lah cerite ape pun, let them be the first person to know what is happening on you, dapat keje ke, berhenti keje ke, dah pregnant ke, nak cari rumah ke, what ever lah.. even though we are married, or even though we are no longer below the age of 21, but our parents should be our top most priority.. kalau untuk i, tak syiok laa kalau depa tau satu2 perkara tu bile depa dengar our conversation with someone else kan..

and treat your parents like your friends.. kalau macam kite kite ni perempuan, help your mum in the kitchen, tahulah mak kite ni the best cook in the world kan, jangan laa all the time dia la potong bawang, dia la siang ikan, dia la kemas meje, dia lah masak.. betul tak.. macam my mum lagi laa still working.. penat keje lagi.. worst still, kalau mak kite dah penat masak, lepas tu mak kite ketuk pintu bilik "miraa.. makanan dah siap", oh man elakkan ok.. amboi.. ingat restoren ka hehe..

and if you can afford, do give some token of money to your parents, im sure they are happy.. kalau tak nak bagi duit pun, you can always buy the groceries ke, pay the bills ke..

and you know our parents always try not to hurt the children's feeling, depa kadang senyap je walau kadang depa terasa dengan kite.. and so bawak-bawak laa pandai faham ape derang rasa, cos this thing can never be learnt, it is all common sense.. for example, i think if they dont ask how we are, macam mane keje, ok ke keje, or ape2 je la, so we should ask ourselves first, what we have done wrong..

and my piece of advise.. don't ever blame them for anything... don't ever..!! 

kalau depa tego kite, cubelah terima dengan hati yang terbuka.. i know sometimes we are not that agree, but that doesnt mean we should argue with them rite.. even my parents sometimes tego i about my blog content, my facebook status.. anggukkan je..kan baba kan :D i know my parents will read this also :)

sebab bile kite sendiri dah jadi parents, we understand that parents will do anything to give the best for their children. cube-cube lah elakkaan parents kite menangis sebab perangai kite, biar derang menangis kejayaan kite ok..

in a simple word, shower your love before its too late..

Loves 

Amira

   

Hadiah birthday: 3 days 2 nights at...

Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur...

courtesy from my SIL.. apa orang kate, pucuk dicita ulam mendatang.. to be honest, this is the first time, i tido hotel dekat KL ni untuk cuti..

KL tak KL, packing nyer pun satu hal jugak kan untuk kite kite isteri mithali :D

Orang yang paling laa suke tido hotel, tak lain tak  bukan adalah Emir, anyway, budak-budak pun tahu cuti tu best kan, tak kire la KL ke  atau hotel sebelah rumah.. to me, the important part is to spend quality time with family..

bile sampai hotel, harus lah ambik gambar bilik dulu kan.. dan maafkan kerana ade dua model yang I dah tak mampu nak bayar yang dah tak kuasa nak mengalihkan diri dari mengosongkan lensa kamera ni..

Paling i suke bilik air dia :).. sebab besar!! Emir seperti yang dijangka, berejam jam (tak de laa berjam jam kan) tapi lameee laa mandi dalam ni.. lepas dalam bath tub, tukar nyer kat shower room..

Itu je lah kot yang menarik, sebab yang lain I just rated boleh laa.. not that Istana that Im expecting.. Even the swimming pool pun, gah lagi swimming pool kat kondo rumah I.. Tu je lah tempat budak, even play room ape pun tak dak..

So layan je lah, cume mase second day dekat hotel, we had to rush back to Malacca because my hub's uncle passed away. Alfatihah..

Since cume ade swimmig pool je untuk budak2 main kat sini, itu je lah yang Emir lenjan kan pun.. sampai matahari tak de mak dia kasik can untuk mandi-mandi..

tengok je la yer aksi-aksi Emir mandi ni.. i uploaded just for my collections :)

Mahu tak happy sebab satu pool tu dia sorang je.. tak dak budak langsung..

dan lagi ... aksi lompat yang paling I suke...

Ininlah hobi baru nyer.. buat tulisan khat.. nanti nanti I update hasil keje laki i...

   

Actually 14 March was my 29th Birthday!!!

 and.. my oh my.. I was much busier than before..

Approaching the number 3 soon.. a lot of things in life I have yet to accomplish.. and to that, I have to work harder and even harder from today..

and talking about the business.. there is absolutely no more information in this blog.. mungkin ade pembayang pembayang but nottt laaa macam dolu dolu.. my upline called me and informed that "Jalan Saya" (sila translate dalam English) know about the existance of this blog and my other blogs as well.. hai... to be honest, banyak lagi yang bertaburan kan.. ok ok.. stop it.. wont elaborate more..

and so.. what happened to me on this 29th Birthday.. I might say it would be the most challenging birthday ever in my life to date.. life was not as easy as before.. but one thing for sure.. I am more happier than before.. Alhamdulillah, walaupun banyak kekurangan tapi hati tenang..

and to celebrate my birthday, Mr. husband belanje makan dekat Al Rawsha.. the new Al Rawsha is now located at Bulatan Kampung Pandan. Thanks Faidzah and Fadzli for showing us the way..

*Sebenarnyer laki I ni nak surprise tempat makan lah konon konon nyer, sekali sesat :D hilang la surprise nyer...

and man.. this Al Rawsha restaurant al macam al Arabi laa.. dari al bangunannya.. macam ana di padang pasir konon konon nyer... picture was captured at night.. and the worst part, the photographer was ME.. janji boleh tengok kan...

Anyway, this is the menu, and the restaurant actually exactly look like this.. 

People say, the ambience of the restaurants will evoke the mood of the customers.. and for Al Rawsha, as an Arabian restaurant, they manage to show how an Arab restaurants looks like.. Compared to their previous location at Jalan Damai, the space are more spacious and the service are far better than before. I guess they already employed more people or.. they were not many customers around.. 

The dessert area, we bought a chocolate cake.. aiyoo very laa the al gemuk .. coklat nya sangat lah coklat...

One thing I like about Al Rawsha is that they have a playroom for children.. so the parents can have ample time to finish the fooodddd...

Ample time, yes ample time.. both of us refused to share food hahaha.. so Mr. Husband ordered this Lamb Khabsa...

and yours truly ordered Mandy Lamb... BANYAKKAN!!

Us.. dah name nyer Emir jadi photographer harus lah buat itu tande peace peace.. and me look so montel kan.. nampak badan makin naik kan kan kan.. 

and Emir.. tok sey nyer nak ambil gambar.. gini laa care nyer..  dan this is the best picture of the day i have with him...

I think the only issue that I have with Al Rawsha restaurant is the price of the drinks.. The chepeast drink is about RM6.. So if it is me who have to bring 10 members in the family in one seating, more than RM100 has to be donated only for the drinks.. too expensive i guess.. even other Arab restaurant will not charge that much kan..

and last but not least... THANK YOU ENCIK EMRAN!!!

    

Should

...I update NOW or should I update LATER..

SEKARANG atau KEJAP LAGI???

mmm...

mmmm..........

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

KEJAP LAGI laaa... :D

p/s anyway, as a note, semalam first time tak dak langsung enquiry / sales on Amway.. takpe mungkin rezeki bawak ke hari ni pulak.. InsyaAllah

  

Ms. Read's Spring 2011 Collection

Aloha Sunday!!!

Remember my entry asking for your votes for Ms. Read contest???  And THANK YOU for all the voters as I was announced as one of the winners .. ok ok actually they only have three contestants and all of us win :)... So, like myself, I was so eager to win this competition as my SIL will love to attend this preview to bits.. She is one of Ms Read's loyal customers for ages and even Helen (Ms. Read's founder) recognized her.. :)

.... and so the event was held at Sundays, Bangsar Village on 8 March 2011.. most of the guests were err... owning this shape hehe.. and of cos all of us wearing Ms Read's collection..

Anyway, this was my first experience attending a fashion show.. :) tak tau laa excited ke tak .. haha but again we were lucky as we shared our table with two friendly sisters.. very friendly and they click with us very well, especially with my SIL la kan..

anyway, the lady below, she did most of the talking .. :) so i was a good listener then..

 

The fashion show started, unfortunately  most of the pictures taken by me were obviously shaking and blur, (kalau share buat sakit mate jer..) so these are my three best pictures.. :D

compared to other design, i love this so much.. will grab it soon!!

Below, picture courtesy of Ms. Read's photographer...

Above all, I enjoyed my dinner more than the fashion show (ok ok wake up Mira) but man.. tell you the food were so good!! and I nearly forgot to take any pictures of it until I saw the person sitting next to me, hold the camera.. :D

I was not too sure the name of this dish but i guess it was smoke salmon.. sedap wokeh.. oh ini i amik dua pinggan .. (peace mira)... Ade banyak lagi, semua sedap!! Ms. Read really stuffed us well!!

then we have been served with this grilled beef.. pun sedap jugak but i would rather go for the smoked salmon..  Can you see the macaroons?

Yes lady, not one but three... i think this is one of the best macaroons i tasted so far.. not to sweet, the pink color is the best.. sebab banyak sangat lebih, i dengan tak malunyer, tapau macaroons ni bawak balik.. the waiter pun offer dua tiga kali lagi sebab memang banyak lebih.. why not kan.. dah tinggalkan laki ngan anak kat rumah.. macaroons pun not cheap kan.. so i pun bungkus2 laa bawak masuk beg :D

Finally our final picture with Helen before we went off for shopping!! Not me, my SIL laa.. i tengok jer..

especially when all of us received this RM20 voucher.. we also received 10% off for Sundays.. but I dont know whether i would utilise this voucher... 

Anyway, thanks Ms. Read!!!

   

MUST WATCH!!! When students are so creative... :)

Ok, baiklah, I memang budak UTP, tapi walaupun UTP ni cantik (bangge?? memang cantik pun) tapi sebab UTP ni jauh kat nun Tronoh kat Perak tu, jadinya, UTP ni tak la seglamour universiti universiti yang terletak kat KL.. Kalau tengok kat TV pun, bile nak mintak academician punye view.. selalunyer yang diinterview, academician from UM, UIA.. dan sewaktu dengannya..

but whatever it is I bangger jadi ex budak UTP.. so kesimpulannyer, kiterang tak glamer kan.. so bile ade satu satu topik cerite pasal UTP, sibuk la i nak tau jugak.. ye la sekala sekala orang bercakap kan.. ni tetibe ade satu video yang dibuat oleh budak UTP...

ok, serious kelakar......... tak tahan I gelak gelak.. adoii maa, adik adik akak ni semua ni dah habis buat assignment kot sampai banyak benor mase buat bende kreatif ni...

Actually banyak lagi version nya.. tapi ni laa yang buat I senyum sorang sorang..
