What would you do if...

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 01:56:37 GMT

Long long time ago.. i came across to this man. A reader. No, no, not the same as the movie The Reader. My reader reads palm, hands, emotions, face, present and future too! And yes he read mine!

What would you do if someone told you that you only had limited life-line to live on by giving you the exact age you gonna leave this world? Spooky things were - everythingelse he read about you were accurate at that particular time. Like which flowers are (were) your favourite, what was happening surround you, who you were with and the chances you gonna be with him forever, the aura I had that day - well, i remember vividly, my aura that day definitely a bad one! Please-car-run-me-over-broken-hearted-wanna-kill myself's aura and yes my reader read that and he said, not worth it! You might as well live your life now as you wont have long to live! oooouuuch!

So, what would you do?

I really really want to see my kid(s) grown bigger. I want to love my hasben forever and vice versa.

What would you do? Only Allah know bests. Amin.

Please be aware!

*******************************************

We are 8 hours ahead of the GMT

********************************************

We have just moved in and still waiting for landline telephone to be installed and satellite TV (OMG! we seriously need one of those TV-dish) and of course the most-most important thing - Broadband!!! InsyaAllah soon. Ameen.

We havent have a chance to drive around Bandar Seri Begawan yet. Mawdud's boss' sons took us around couple of times and their good-heart-man driver, Ajiz have been so-so nice and kind to us - *(theres a story behind this) - his wife, Banu is so into Yusuff. Playing with him, keep on eye of him in Giant Supermarket (mom's instinct or Grandma's instinct i'd say). She cannot speak Malay or Inglish very well, she's Muslim-Tamil by the way, they both are - some how, she manages to play with Yusuff and make him laugh! They keep popping in to the house just to make sure we are settling in OK. I thank Allah, in our hard time (tired, settling in, not with it, etc) moment, theres always angel(s) sent to us - and for that im so grateful. Alhamdulillah.

* The story behind the close-ness between Banu and Yusuff. Banu married to Ajiz about 40 years! They've given 3 kids - 1 daughter married in India, 1 son working in India and 1 son here in Brunei, working. Banu just arrived from India a year ago after the last trip to India was the longest one - 4 years! Their daughter in India, was pregnant with their first son so she was in India helping her with all preparations for the newborn,- unfortunately the baby died in mummy's tummy at 39weeks!!! I was so sad to hear the story eventhough i dont even know their daughter. That would be an ultimate test from Allah to her (remember, Allah only testing us for what we can handle - HE know bests), I will pray hard, Insyallah for their daughter to have another son. InsyaAllah. Ameen.

So, that was 4 years ago. If the child is alive(their grandson), he would be the same age as Yusuff. Its a sad scene to see when Yusuff willingly hold her (Banu's) hand (as we dont want to remind her of her arwah grandson) but we are happy to see smiles from both Ajiz and Banu with Yusuff's being Yusuff.

May Allah bless us all. Amin.

The Verdict.

Hi all,

Yes, we are finally arrived in the new country, Brunei Darussalam. The journey was way to long for all of us. We've worn out when we reached Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) on Thur's afternoon. With all hectic packing (the entire universe), with 19 boxes, 6 silver waterproof, 15 brown, 1 clear and 3 fragile selotapes - we've managed to do the shipping, cleaned and moved out of the house @ 4am (1/12/2009)!

Yusuff didnt even say goodbye to the house as everything was moving so fast! It broke my heart everytime when Yusuff talks about home, "Yusuff's hat at home, mummy get it" (as the weather is so hot and sunny here) or "Yusuff get ready to go didu's (grandma) or kakak's house" or just simply " Yusuff's going home - Yusuff's house"

I miss home. I miss Lynton Avenue. I miss you guys already - Jetlag still on, im off to bed!

We've moved from this view and weather

to this view and weather....

(Sorry for the jemuran kain and the kepala mop - enjoy the coconut tree and sunny day)

Pray for us please so everything will go smoothly.

p.s: Mawdud's first day of work. Good luck baby, we love you.

Naughty Words by Cartoons

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:02:53 GMT

To all moms and mummy-to-be, please note this post.

My son is 3-and-a-bit years old and at the moment he is so much copying whatever we said - he called me 'baby' one morning because his dad calls me 'baby' - it was funny at first but then we thot - oh no!

Anyways, this post is about Disney's movies that he loves so much, the not so best part is - these movies contains naughty words as he called them.

From CARS movie - he learnt the word MORON (when Lightning McQueen thot it was MACK he was chasing, and that truck said " turn your light, moron"). I wouldnt want my son to call me MORON one day, would you?

From TOY STORY movies - Woody is the culprit, he said SHUT UP like millions times. And he has been using it on me and my hasben for quite sometimes after that - but after serious explaining we did - he now says "SHUSH Mummy, Yusuff's watching TV" - We arent happy, but Insyallah by time he will learn. Ameen.

From MONSTERS Vs ALIEN - he learnt JERK words by BOB at the end of the movie. We didnt highlight it or angry at him, we just told him not to use that word, because it is naughty.

Please be aware what our kids are watching, and all these naughty words normally at the end of a sentence, thats why its easy to pick up!

im following you..

FlashForward is getting slower, but since my heart always beating so hard when I see Joseph Fiennes, i dont care. Im watching it as long as he is in it. I was just wondering what if I had a flash forward. Ive told Amy last time, in my flash forward, i was heading somehwere with my Birkin Hermes Bag (please dont laugh) and I was so happy.

The Vampire Diaries getting steamy hot!! hot!! hot!! Those 2 brothers are just way too hawt! Im addicted to Damon but in love with Stefan. Bad boy addictions and romance vampire...no wonder Katherine was confused herself!

True Blood - awaiting next season, July 2010. I want the viking vampire!!!

V is getting exciting. Im warming up on this one.

Medium (Season 6) - missed a couple of episodes but im catching up. Will update.

Heroes (Season 4) is getting better and better. I dont care about Gretchen kissing Claire. Im more into Robert Knepper @ Samuel, love him since Prison Break. i wish i have Nathan Petrellli's power. Well, gimme Peter's.

Supernatural, The Amazing Race, The Good Wife, Ghost Whisperer, Criminal Minds, CSI.. OMG! im an addict. TV addict!

Super Busy and Team Jacob.. errkk Team Edward.

Almost the end of November and yes we are still here in cold and rainy London, but not for long. We are going to the sun and NEAR home (for me anyways) to work (this bit is not me). We had few hiccups along the way, i.e governments stuffs - the visa, work permit, dependent passes, tickets, etc. But all have been sorted. Alhamdulillah.Thank God.

My dearest hasben have been offered a new job after 1 year been jobless. Overseas. So, we were (still) busy packing, selling, eBaying, gumtree-ing, etc. for most of our beloved furnitures and my hasben's-first-love-precious car! And most of them been sold including de car. Of course some tears dropped when we said goodbyes.. sob sob.

Now, our flights are confirmed. Our new crib is also confirmed, Yusuff's and my tickets to go home also been confirmed (yay!) and shipping also confirmed to be picked up by Monday. InsyAllah (God willing). Everything else is to be done before the 1st December.

So, we are ready. (Well, to tell you the truth I am not) I am not ready to say goodbye to our dearest dearest friends here in London. We have been spending most of our weekends with them so they wont forget me and my family. So they will remember us. I want them to pretend this is just gonna be a very-long holiday, just like before, just like when i went home for a very-long time and returned, InsyAllah. I want them to know how much im gonna miss them, how much I love them and how much I want them to come with us. *sigh*

Anyways, we went for New Moon's first showing after everybody came back from work on Friday, 20th. It was........*speechless*. Our seating were so perfect as perfect as Edward Cullen and as perfect as Jacob's torso. I was glued, drooling, smiling to myself (just like a teenager) and confused. For 2 minutes (shame on me) I was a Team Jacob because of pity-ness. 5 stars to Taylor Laurtner for an excellent acting. But at the end, I knew Edward always been the one. Its always been him...oohhh yeeesss...!!

So, recap. We are moving to a new country soon. Packing and shipping are done. Everything booked and ready, I love my KKJ's and New Moon.

Till the next post. I love you Edward Cullen.

Tourist for a day.

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:32:10 GMT

I havent been a tourist guide in London for a looonng time. Last time was when my brother-in-law's flight transitted in London for 20 hours - 6 years ago!!

So, we started our journey from home to Yusuff's first underground experience. He was over the moon being on the underground train. Was estactic to be in the tunnel - (kesian anak aku). So, first destination was BIG BEN and London Eye, then we went to see Queen's Guard on Horse and walked thru St. James' Park to Buckingham Palace - and took Yusuff for his first London Taxi ride to Harrods. Yusuff was so happy (kesian anak aku).

We had lunch at Lebanese Restaurant in Bayswater.

Didnt have time to go Leicester Square, China Town and other places, but I think it should be enough for Yusuff to remember where he was born.
