18 Things Your Feet Say About Your Health

2011-02-21T08:28:00.000-08:00

masalah kaki? i have this problem until now..especially when i stand too long to do flower arrangement. masing2 ada pendapat masing2 tentang sakit kaki ni. my feet usually bengkak kalau berdiri lama. tp bile letak minyak panas sebelum tido, bangun pagi ok dah. paling menyampah kalau nak carik kasut. susah nak dpt saiz. that's why i prefer to wear sandal/slipper sebab senang carik saiz, senang sarung. kasut2 ni kalau acara formal je which i rarely do. melainkan wedding lah. luckily i am a florist so i dont have to think on what baju and kasut to wear for work. pakai fancy2 pun takpe, kita florist kan, sesuai dgn profession hehe..

jom baca!

1. Red flag: Toenails with slightly sunken, spoon-shaped indentations

What it means: Anemia (iron deficiency) often shows up as an unnatural, concave or spoonlike shape to the toes' nail beds, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. It's caused by not having enough hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein in the blood cells that transports oxygen. Internal bleeding (such as an ulcer) or heavy menstrual periods can trigger anemia.

More clues: On fingers as well as toes, the skin and nail beds both appear pale. The nails may also be brittle, and feet may feel cold. Fatigue is the number-one sign of anemia, as are shortness of breath, dizziness when standing, and headache.

What to do: A complete blood count is usually used to diagnose anemia. A physical exam may pinpoint a cause. First-step treatments include iron supplements and dietary changes to add iron and vitamin C (which speeds iron absorption).

2. Red flag: Hairless feet or toes

What it means: Poor circulation, usually caused by vascular disease, can make hair disappear from the feet. When the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood to the extremities because of arteriosclerosis (commonly known as hardening of the arteries), the body has to prioritize its use. Hairy toes are, well, low on the totem pole.

More clues: The reduced blood supply also makes it hard to feel a pulse in the feet. (Check the top of the foot or the inside of the ankle.) When you stand, your feet may be bright red or dusky; when elevated, they immediately pale. The skin is shiny. People with poor circulation tend to already know they have a cardiovascular condition (such as heart disease or a carotid artery) yet may not realize they have circulation trouble.

What to do: Treating the underlying vascular issues can improve circulation. Toe hair seldom returns, but nobody complains much.

3. Red flag: Frequent foot cramping (charley horses)

What it means: The sudden stab of a foot cramp -- basically, the hard contraction of a muscle -- can be triggered by fleeting circumstances such as exercise or dehydration. But if it happens often, your diet may lack sufficient calcium, potassium, or magnesium. Pregnant women in the third trimester are especially vulnerable thanks to increased blood volume and reduced circulation to the feet.

More clues: Charley horses tend to rear up out of nowhere, often while you're just lying there. They can be a single sharp muscle spasm or come in waves. Either way, soreness can linger long afterward.

What to do: Try to flex the foot and massage the painful area. You may also be able to relax the muscle by applying a cold pack or rubbing alcohol. To prevent cramps, stretch your feet before you go to bed. Then drink a glass of warm milk (for the calcium).

4. Red flag: A sore that won't heal on the bottom of the foot

What it means: This is a major clue to diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to nerve damage in the feet -- which means that minor scrapes, cuts, or irritations caused by pressure or friction often go unnoticed, especially by someone who's unaware he has the disease. Untreated, these ulcers can lead to infection, even amputation.

More clues: Oozing, foul-smelling cuts are especially suspect because they've probably been there awhile. Other symptoms of diabetes include persistent thirst, frequent urination, increased fatigue, blurry vision, extreme hunger, and weight loss.

What to do: Get the ulcer treated immediately and see a doctor for a diabetes evaluation. Diabetics need to inspect their feet daily (older people or the obese should have someone do this for them) and see a healthcare professional every three months.

5. Red flag: Cold feet

What it means: Women, especially, report cold feet (or more precisely, their bedmates complain about them). It may be nothing -- or it may indicate a thyroid issue. Women over 40 who have cold feet often have an underfunctioning thyroid, the gland that regulates temperature and metabolism. Poor circulation (in either gender) is another possible cause.

More clues: Hypothyroidism's symptoms are pretty subtle and appear in many disorders (fatigue, depression, weight gain, dry skin).

What to do: Insulating layers of natural materials work best for warmth. (Think wool socks and lined boots). If you also have other nagging health complaints, mention the cold feet to your doctor. Unfortunately, however, aside from treatment with medication in the event of a thyroid condition, this tends to be a symptom that's neither easily nor sexily resolved.

6. Red flag: Thick, yellow, downright ugly toenails

What it means: A fungal infection is running rampant below the surface of the nail.Onychomycosis can persist painlessly for years. By the time it's visibly unattractive, the infection is advanced and can spread to all toenails and even fingernails.

More clues: The nails may also smell bad and turn dark. People most vulnerable: those with diabetes, circulatory trouble, or immune-deficiency disorders (like rheumatoid arthritis). If an older person has trouble walking, sometimes the problem can be traced to the simple fact that as infected nails grow thicker, they're harder to cut and simply go ignored to the point of pain.

What to do: See a foot specialist or your regular physician for care and treatment. In serious cases, over-the-counter antifungals are usually not as effective as a combination of topical and oral medications and the professional removal of diseased bits. Newer-generation oral antifungal medications tend to have fewer side effects than older ones.

7. Red flag: A suddenly enlarged, scary-looking big toe

What it means: Probably gout. Yes, that old-fashioned-sounding disease is still very much around -- and you don't have to be over 65 to get it. Gout is a form of arthritis (also called "gouty arthritis") that's usually caused by too much uric acid, a natural substance. The built-up uric acid forms needlelike crystals, especially at low body temperatures. And the coolest part of the body, farthest from the heart, happens to be the big toe.

"Three-fourths of the time, you wake up with a red-hot swollen toe joint as the first presentation of gout," says podiatrist Andersen.

More clues: Swelling and shiny red or purplish skin -- along with a sensation of heat and pain -- can also occur in the instep, the Achilles tendon, the knees, and the elbows. Anyone can develop gout, though men in their 40s and 50s are especially prone. Women with gout tend to be postmenopausal.

What to do: See a doctor about controlling the causes of gout through diet or medication. A foot specialist can help relieve pain and preserve function.

8. Red flag: Numbness in both feet

What it means: Being unable to "feel" your feet or having a heavy pins-and-needles sensation is a hallmark of peripheral neuropathy, or damage to the peripheral nervous system. That's the body's way of transmitting information from the brain and spinal cord to the entire rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy has many causes, but the top two are diabetes and alcohol abuse (current or past).Chemotherapy is another common cause.

More clues: The tingling or burning can also appear in hands and may gradually spread up to arms and legs. The reduced sensation may make it feel like you're constantly wearing heavy socks or gloves.

What to do: See a physician to try to pinpoint the cause (especially if alcohol addiction doesn't apply). There's no cure for peripheral neuropathy, but medications from pain relievers to antidepressants can treat symptoms.

9. Red flag: Sore toe joints

What it means: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a degenerative joint disease, is often first felt in the smaller joints, such as the toes and the knuckles of the hands.

More clues: Swelling and stiffness usually accompany the aches. This pain tends to be symmetrical; for example, it happens simultaneously in both big toes or in both index fingers. RA develops more suddenly than degenerative arthritis, and attacks may come and go. Women are almost four times more affected than men.

What to do: A full workup is always needed to pinpoint the cause of any joint pain. For RA, there are many medications and therapies that can minimize pain and preserve function, though early diagnosis is important to avoid permanent deformity. (In the feet, the toes can drift to the side.)

10. Red flag: Pitted toenails

What it means: In up to half of all people with psoriasis, the skin disease also shows up in the nail as many little holes, which can be deep or shallow. More than three-fourths of those with psoriatic arthritis, a related disorder that affects the joints as well as the skin, also have pocked, pitted nails.

More clues: The nails (fingers as well as toes) will also thicken. They may be yellow-brown or have salmon-colored patches. The knuckle nearest the nail is also likely to be dry, red, and inflamed.

What to do: A variety of medications can treat both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and can restore the nail bed surface in many cases, especially if treatment begins early.

11. Red flag: Being unable to raise the foot upward from the heel

What it means: "Foot drop" (also "drop foot") signals nerve or muscle damage that can originate well north of your feet -- as far as your back or even shoulder or neck. Certain chemotherapy drugs can also cause trouble lifting the front part of the foot while walking or standing.

More clues: There may be pain and numbness as well, though not necessarily. Sometimes the pain is felt in the upper leg or lower spine, where a nerve is pinched (by damage or a tumor). In some cases, the foot drags when the person walks. It's rare for both feet to be affected.

What to do: Report this serious symptom to your doctor. Foot drop can be completely reversible or permanent, depending on its cause and treatment.

12. Red flag: Dry, flaky skin

What it means: Even if your face or hands tend to be powdery-dry, don't dismiss this skin condition on your feet. You don't have to be a jock to contract athlete's foot, a fungal infection that usually starts as dry, itchy skin that then progresses to inflammation and blisters. When blisters break, the infection spreads.

(The name comes from the moist places the fungus thrives -- places athletes tend to congregate, such as locker rooms and pools.)

More clues: Athlete's foot usually shows up between the toes first. It can spread to the soles and even to other parts of the body (like the underarms or groin), usually due to scratching.

What to do: Mild cases can be self-treated by bathing the feet often and drying them thoroughly. Then keep the feet dry, including using foot powder in shoes and socks. If there's no improvement in two weeks or the infection worsens, a doctor can prescribe topical or oral antifungal medication.

13. Red flag: Toes that turn patriotic colors

What it means: In cold weather, Raynaud's disease (or Raynaud's phenomenon) causes the extremities to first go white, then turn blue, and finally appear red before returning to a natural hue. For reasons not well understood, the blood vessels in these areas vasospasm, or overreact, causing the tricolor show.

More clues: Other commonly affected areas include the fingers, nose, lips, and ear lobes. They also feel cool to the touch and go numb. Women and those who live in colder climates get Raynaud's more often. It typically shows up before age 25 or after 40. Stress can trigger Raynaud's attacks, too.

What to do: See a doctor about medications that can widen blood vessels, which reduces the severity of attacks.

14. Red flag: Feet that are really painful to walk on

What it means: Undiagnosed stress fractures are a common cause of foot pain. The discomfort can be felt along the sides of the feet, in the soles, or "all over." These fractures -- they often occur repeatedly -- may be caused by another underlying problem, often osteopenia (a decrease in optimum bone density, especially in women over age 50) or some kind of malnutrition, including a vitamin D deficiency, a problem absorbing calcium, or anorexia.

More clues: Often you can still walk on the broken bones; it just hurts like heck. (Some hardy people have gone undiagnosed for as long as a year.)

What to do: See a foot doctor about any pain. If, for example, you've been walking around Europe for three weeks in bad shoes, your feet may simply be sore. But a 55-year-old sedentary woman with painful feet may need a bone-density exam. An x-ray also reveal possible nutritional issues that warrant a referral to a primary care provider.

15. Red flag: Toes that bump upward at the tips

What it means: When the very tips of the toes swell to the point where they lose their usual angle and appear to bump upward at the ends, it's called "digital clubbing" or "Hippocratic clubbing" after Hippocrates, who described the phenomenon 2,000 years ago. It's a common sign of serious pulmonary (lung) disease, including pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Heart disease and certain gastrointestinal diseases

such as Crohn's disease, are also associated with clubbing.

More clues: Fingers can be clubbed as well as toes. It can happen in just some digits, or in all.

What to do: Treatment depends on the underlying cause, so report this serious symptom to a doctor. (Physicians are also well trained to look for clubbed digits during exams.)

16. Red flag: Shooting pain in the heel

What it means: Plantar fasciitis -- a fancy name for inflammation of a band of connective tissue (fascia) running along the bottom (plantar) of the foot -- is abnormal straining of the tissue beyond its normal extension.

More clues: The pain starts when you take your first steps in the morning and often intensifies as the day wears on. It's usually concentrated in the heel (one or both) but can also be felt in the arch or in the back of the foot. Running and jumping a lot can cause it, but so can insufficient support. You're at risk if you go barefoot a lot or wear old shoes or flimsy flip-flops, have gained weight, or walk a lot on hard surfaces.

What to do: If pain persists more than a few weeks or seems to worsen, have it evaluated by a podiatrist. Stick to low shoes with a strong supportive arch until you get further advice and treatment (which may include anti-inflammatory drugs and shoe inserts).

17. Red flag: "Phee-uuuuw!"

What it means: Though smelly feet (hyperhidrosis) tend to cause more alarm than most foot symptoms, odor -- even downright stinkiness -- is seldom a sign something's physically amiss. (Whew!) Feet contain more sweat glands than any other body part -- half a million between the two of them! And some people are more prone to sweat than others. Add in the casings of shoes and socks, and the normal bacteria that thrive in the body have a feast on the resulting moisture, creating the smell that makes wives and mothers weep. (Both sexes can have smelly feet, but men tend to sweat more.)

More clues: In this case, the one olfactory clue is plenty.

What to do: Wash with antibacterial soap and dry feet well. Rub cornstarch or antiperspirant onto soles. Toss used socks in the wash; always put on a fresh pair instead of reusing. Stick to natural materials (cotton socks, leather shoes) -- they wick away moisture better than man-made materials. Open up laced shoes after you remove them so they get a chance to fully air out; don't wear them again until they're fully dry.

18. Red flag: Old shoes

What it means: Danger! You're a walking health bomb if your everyday shoes are more than a couple of years old or if walking or running shoes have more than 350 to 500 miles on them. Old shoes lack the support feet need -- and footgear wears out faster than most people think, foot specialists say.

More clues: Blisters (too tight), bunions (too narrow), heel pain (not enough support) -- if you're having any kind of foot trouble, there's at least a 50-50 chance your shoddy or ill-fitting footwear is to blame.

Older people are especially vulnerable because they fall into the habit of wearing familiar old shoes that may lack support, flexibility, or good traction.

What to do: Go shoe shopping.

2009-07-15T09:19:00.000-07:00

wow..though i'm sleepy, i cannot sleep. blogger is super fast right now, i can upload all pics in less than 2 mins. i've been planning to update for a couple of days, but i'm just..lazy..yes u read it right, not busy but lazy! there are so much going on in my mind i couldn't think straight.

i really miss this little girl. so i will be going back tomorrow. it's only thursday but god! i miss her so much lah! having my nieces and nephews around me is fun. as they grew bigger, i can see changes in the way i treat them. except for her! she's always and will always be my baby girl..i mean, i always see her as a baby..that's why i feed her and even hold the glass for her while she drinks (she's already 4yo!) i am being over protective all the time! honestly, i watch her closely..what she does, what she likes, her emotions, her happiness, what excites her(painting, coloring, playing bubbles and currently obsess with my craft tools hehe) she's just amazing. listening to her talking and singing is fun! she is being honest with me, telling me everything. there is this one time when we went to sleep, she was like:
"i don't want cerita mike, maklang. i'm so scared!" (i am so jahat i tell her 'mike' bed story hehe)
so i ended up with rabbit and turtle (she's the rabbit, i'm the turle;it's a dialogue story, we make up diff stories every night). when i am around, she will never sleep with anyone else but me. she loves maksu's room and only want to sleep in maksu's room (sejuk ada air con) and i have to convince her the bilik bawah also got air con!
"where's the air con, maklang?"
"there you see, the pink color one" that's bantal2 yg nenek susun atas almari hahahh!
the not-so-fun part is she being cranky and manja terlebih when i'm around. she never listen to anyone even her mama and when i am angry, she will start crying. atuk will scold me then hehe. the reason she cries is simply because she doesn't want me to be mad at her. she will say sorry many time until i say 'it's okay, i'm not angry, i'm sorry'. i think ayat paling menakutkan dia ialah 'i don't want to friend you' hehe..maklang tanak kawan eya?? yeah right. like i can hahah!
not having her in my parents house is the most boring day in my life! no one to kacau me, no one to watch tv with me, no one to eat with me(we eat together as i suap her makan).
that is why she is my baby girl..the girl i love most in the family :D

all the pics are our holiday pics at terengganu. went there with my along and adik. that was my first time to terengganu(i mean kuala terengganu) since we don't have any relatives in this state so we really don't have the opportunity to go there. the best part is went to TTI. we walked for nearly 2 hours! mcm giler je huhu. but it was worth it lah as we gained a lot of info on islamic buildings/structures and not to forget sweat! berpeluh-peluh jalan sampai sun-burned! quick stop at masjid kristal. it's small and looked like a small palace in Aladdin movie hehe.then we went to the museum(claimed to be the largest museum in Asia;that makes sense, it's huge!) then went to perkampungan losong, beli kepok banyak2..and yg siap goreng pun beli nak makan. last place was batu buruk because we wanted to eat aiskrim goreng. it was nice! we ate one each and tapau another 3. but along went there that evening with her friends so we finished all!

the kereta sewa that brought us around wanted to bring us to pasar payang but we reserved that place for our last day destination. we didn't go to Ar*fa Batik also because i am not good at choosing batik and besides, i preferred sight-seeing hehe.. went back to hotel and changed clothes for swimming like 2 hours? i was damn tired but we managed to stay up until 9.30 for karaoke session which ended by midnight. fuhh..what a long day..

overall, the days were superb! nothing much to complain on the hotel/room. ri-*yaz is a very nice place to stay. the kampung style room/chalet/resort? is really nice. it is situated at pulau duyong so i guess being surrounded by water is very relaxing also..

i am still sleepy it is 1.40am and i better go now.zzzzzzzzzzz............

will be back soon..

2009-07-06T08:16:00.000-07:00

i will be back soon with stories and photos and more..
post-holiday mood strikes!
nite peeps!

life is not a bed of roses

2009-04-21T09:20:00.000-07:00

it's full of thorns..it's hurting..

no matter how hard i tried, i will end up at the same place again

how i wish i am free from this!

but hurt makes me stronger and wiser

grants me patience to bear the things i cannot change..

..i am thankful for being who i am!

i am currently obsess with party planning. my baby gurl's birthday is coming very soon (in may) so i wanted to make something special and memorable for her. so far, we have booked the cake. others? buy her dress(mama's task hehe), buy the stuff to be put inside the goodie bags(mama also or anyone who wants to sponsor. i am thinking of doing home made choc), the goodie bag.. okay this is 100% my task as i wanted something really sweet and stylo for her and i have bought all the stuff for her 'bags' just need time to start doing it. it won't take so much time and the 'bags' is only 25 pieces only.

i have designed the invitation card, just need to print and distribute them to her friends. i told mama that we should invite her friends from her kindy so that she will get that 'birthday bash' excited feeling. usually we invite close relatives for birthday party so it's time to change now! it's been 3 years after her 1st birthday bash(surrounded by friends and mama/papa's friends and family). she must be excited to talk about her birthday party and the princess cake with friends at school. kalaulah boleh sneak in to her school and tgk apa dia citer borak2 dgn kwn dia! hehe! such a penyebok maklang! :P

the theme for the day is pwincess of course! she loves being a pwincess..wearing a gown, crown and dancing shoes..and dance with uncle! oh gawd! sabar jelah! layan jelah...

color is as per below.... that pattern will be used on the goodie bag. there will be another set of goodie bags..yes 2 sets! i mean 3 sets??!!..another one for budak2 lelaki..takan nak bagi pink color bags to them..so nanti buat b&w..sempat ke buat ni? ermmmm...

my hand is so itchy to do it but i have lots of works to do so in the meantime i just have to sabar sebelum mission buat goodie bags bermula!

how obsess i am? with everthing!
birthday party - mid may lambat lagi kan..
went to papier JUST to buy big puncher.such a waste of time kan..
did my own 'S' chop/rubber stamp whatever u call it..hey it's fun!
bought the papers cheap only at popular.and found a cheap tape. the one at papier is wayyyyy to pricey lor...
discover a lot of new stuff/designs/info on handmade stuff etc

i guess that's all that i wanna reveal hehe..will update later..
i wish i can go to the beach and have fun with the girls! HOW I WISH!!

....after 2 months....

2009-03-18T07:09:00.000-07:00

i'm not really busy with works. i still have time for leisure. but, why is it so difficult for me to find the time to write? i have a whole bunch to write! many things had happened in this 2 months but still, i didn't write :D okay the reason i write now because we just came back from north last weekend to celebrate the engagement of my cousin. a very close cousin. i called him my brother, not just cousin. my dad once said that he is part of us, the sibling. so he's like a brother to me. i'm not going to post any pics of the ceremony/him/her..hehe..later on okay! insyaAllah the wedding will be on the end of the year..kalau duit cukup*quoting him* hehe..

we arrived on the evening of saturday..lepak2 sambil touch up hantarans etc. Im was trying to find the flowers for sirih junjung tp tak jumpa and had to wake up early morning to go to the market to buy flowers. by 9am we moved to the soon-to-be-his-fiancee's house. makan2, tukar2 hantaran and off to her cousin's house for sarung cincin. yes, 2 destinations..pelik sikit but i like it because while tukar2 hantaran, it's just us and her family. so takde ramai2, bising2..mcm bestttt jerrr.. unfortunately, umah dia banyak kucing and i'm allergy to meow(but i love cat! tsk!)so mulalah terbersin2..so dah takde mood la..muka dah mcm org sakit hehe..

alhamdulillah all went well..cincin disarung oleh adik..my aunt refused to sarung and gave the authority to my youngest sister. drama jugak la coz my other aunt sort of membantah until Im said..i want my youngest sister to sarung cincin!!..then senyap! hehe..i don't find it weird coz my busu was the one who sarung cincin to my mum on my parents engagement day some 35 years back, and she was only 15! funny thing happened when Intan, Im's fiancee nak tunduk cium tangan and my sister also did the same thing..last2 dua2 terhantuk kepala! hehehe.. supposedly my sister should cium tangan kan..nervous kot..hehe..

oh my baby girl and little naughty boy did not follow us coz my BIL's family was coming from Kelantan. i missed them teribbly!!! i just called Ieya but she only talked a bit (makan mee, i love you maklang) coz she's busy eating mee. the little mouse was busy watching mouse(mickey mouse, that is..hehe) i just can't wait to go back this weekend and hug them!!!!

i make a promise to myself not to post story mory pasal kerja. after all, this is my personal blog, citer keje sangat memboringkan. however, i will still stick gambar bunga-bunga..it's in my blood..takleh dipisahkan :P

i need to wrap up..still have plenty of work to do. need to be early tomorrow as i have to go to kl to buy stuff..

good nite!

here comes 2009!

2009-01-09T02:16:00.000-08:00

i know it's a bit late to wish happy 2009 but hey who cares! hehe..i spent my last day of 2008 by finishing my order and sent it off to customer and rushed to KLCC to buy stuff..yup all alone! then i got the ticket to watch twilight for the second time coz i couldn't resist myself to see edward! yup he's handsome (or cute or creepy or whatever!) but after i read the book, i need to watch it again..robert is such a good actor, he can impersonate edward so much..almost 100% well, worth every RM! then i rushed back and continued my works. fififlafla buzzed and we chatted (hehe fun i would say!) about 2009 dreams and resolutions. hers is more 'poyo' than mine! hehehe..

i hope 2009 is much better than the last years..my business is growing and expanding. more people are demanding. i guess it's just me who is not brave enough to move forward. i need more support from people around me. alhamdulillah my family and relatives and friends are very supportive and helped me so much. i thank Allah for all His blessing and i hope i will get more courage to move on to the next stage.

my darling niece has started kindergarden. she is 4 this year and i hope she can cope with the new environment at school. my super hero, Muaz has started his Standard 1 but due to fever, he missed his 1st 3 days of school, how sad! i hope i will be able to snap pictures of him in his uniform by next week :)

January is a bit slow..i noticed the pattern now. i need new marketing strategies!!!! can somebody help me with this! hehe..well i do have several in mind waiting to be executed. i just need time, time, time!

i think i have more to write tapi..dah lupa hehehe...

okay..it's friday peeps! off to balik kampung! happy weekend!

p/s: that's me and my adik and my muaz before heading off to PD(my bro's house). we had bbq that nite! :)

Alhamdulillah...

2008-11-30T21:46:00.000-08:00

i just cannot wait to blog about my sister!
less than a week after i appeared in a newspaper (please refer to http://littleflowerpot.blogspot.com/ ), my sister appeared in Utusan Malaysia today! She had graduated from Kolej Tentera Udara(KTU) Kepala Batas, Kedah and now she's a proud Kapten Noraini. watching the parade/passing out ceremony made all of us bloomed with happiness. i cried when i saw her marched in! our conversation past few weeks in YM reminded me how hard she worked for us!
Aini : erm...
Aini : penat2...tp bile buat jd seronok gak..
Aini : sume same jer...mase tu semangat giler..
Aini : nnt ari sebenar ade korang lg la semangat,...
my little sister Adik also had completed her degree studies this month. so, officially all my siblings has finished studies!
i guess November is the best month of the year! my sister mentioned about buat kenduri doa selamat but i dunno when. maybe before end of year..since next week is my cousin's wedding and Raya Haji and Aini will be going for her on job training right after Raya..
i need to start making hantaran for my cousin's engagement on the 21st this month! :P

raya 2008

2008-10-23T00:44:00.000-07:00

everyone is in low mood because the weather is soo cooling these few weeks. i sleep early and wake up quite late :P the sun barely shows up. i feel like living in overseas hehe..(how i wish! but putrajaya is fine to me..love it here!)

raya has passed and i had fun with my family. overall, sumer okay lah.. my baju raya color is same as the color of my house..hey nice color..thanks along, everyone complimented :)

i should be taking pictures of our new house but i was too busy layan tetamu, makan, kemas, tido! 1st raya, we went to kubur nenek, atuk, makmah and all and not forgetting kubur pakcik ayan. then went to maklong's house for breakfast. 2nd raya was tiring (naik turun flight) but it was okay to me..i got the chance to meet sedara mara sebelah mak. the best part is cake cutting sampai 2 kali!! hehe..thank u to my family and relatives! oh all pictures are in the Facebook. add me in! :)

i may be blog once in a while in these coming few months as i have loads of works to do..oct-nov-dec is always the busiest time of the year. oh we are going to my sister's passing out day (like graduation day) in Alor Star next month. bestnya dah habis training dah! kejap je kan!! can't wait to see her :) i rejected some orders just for her..takpe..bukan selalu hehe..have a blast weekend everyone!

a year older

2008-09-23T01:54:00.000-07:00

yes..i am going to be 29 very soon! i am so young at heart heheheee..people always mistaken me as a 23 year-old gal, provided that my little cousin or niece/nephew are not around me!
we will celebrate Aidilfitri in a couple of days, without my darling niece and nephew. they had balik kg sebelah papa. funny thing, i was not emotional as usual, but when i saw my sister's emo face and my muaz was checking on me "kakna keluar air mata tak", i couldn't held my tears. in the car, kissing and hugging my darling niece, my along was also crying. my dad? he was holding and hugging little hero with a sad face. so basically, everyone sedih, even my bro-in-law. he looked emo when he saw my along is crying.
weekend was hectic..everyone was cleaning up the house(except me, allergy to habuk, i started sneezing). my dad did a bit of renovation at the upper level of house, so we have one extra bedroom. the small bedroom now is for my mom's maid. no more tidur bergelimpangan (which is fun esp bila ramai2 kan) dad also panggil cina cat the whole house, inside and outside. i will post some pics after raya. oh, all of us will be going to kampung mak this 2nd hari raya, something that we never did before..i hope mak will be happy :)
This Ramadhan was challenging for my cousin, Im. he broke up with his gf. well, it's so difficult to explain the situation, esp when he is ready to merisik. she didn't love him enough(how i wish she read this). Im certainly deserve someone better, not someone yang suka memainkan perasaan org.
i think i have to stop here..wishing you, you and you Salam Aidilfitri dan Maaf Zahir dan Batin. enjoy your Hari Raya. selamat makan lemang, ketupat and rendang!

Ramadhan kembali..

2008-09-10T04:01:00.000-07:00

how time flies..it's Ramadhan and i'm so happy that this year's Ramadhan is so much better than last years'. 10 days to 'my flower pot' 1st anniversary!!! :) i have been blogging for a year!! yeay!

let's talk about bulan puasa. last year's bulan puasa, my lil sister was here but now we have Mas in the house! the 4 of us! i cook, sometimes :P but we always buy cause it's easier, but i still cook. i don't mind doing that as i love to cook.

my hamper hari raya has received loads of inquiry. i suspect that i am going to be busy receiving orders starting next week hehe..and i have hantaran to do! dip flowers for my customer. ohhh talking about dip flowers, i went to bun*ga ri*ben to buy stuff yesterday. i was lazy to go to S*SF cause i got tired of walking and was really sleepy hehe..and i need to go to S*ogo. Just now, when i open the wire packaging, the wires were not thick as it used to be! sheeehhhh! am so madd!! kena tipu ke hape nih??!! I AM NOT GOING TO BUY WIRES FROM THERE NEXT TIME! ngantuk ke hape ke, i will still walk to S*SF!!

updated on 10.21pm

my customer came to pay for the flowers that he ordered. i waited 5 mins for him to write the message to be written on card. he requested carnations but i suggested roses (carnations usually for orang sakit, i bet he didn't know that) it's so sweet that you know nothing about flowers yet you still make an effort to send the bouquet. he was so excited to send the flowers. i can sense that. i think this is his first time. then he said "i trust u 100%, just do whatever u think is nice". okay okay :P after saying thanks, he walked to his car but then, he came to me again and ask whether the message is okay (quite long message) and i said, i will adjust.

"use nice font ye kak"..i can sense (again) that this girl is really special to him (mmg hard work datang dengan berpeluh-peluh muka hehe). when i read the message, i was like "awwww..so sweeet!!". so i plan to do something really nice for him to be given to his special someone. i can really sense his sincerity, honestly! i just don't want to spoil his first move!! being a florist is not easy. the flowers that we do will give first impression of the person who ordered. it's that important!!!

i wish him all the best..i love being 'together' with the couple (first move: send flowers, propose to be gf: send flowers, birthdays: send flowers, dating: send flowers,propose for marriage etc etc) how niceeee...being part of special moment with special someone :)

i guess i have to stop now. i wonder where i put my plier...

happy ramadhan!

al-fathihah

2008-08-10T05:36:00.000-07:00

makngah pulang ke rahmatullah beberapa minggu lepas. w/pun makngah sakit, tak sangka secepat ni makngah pergi. bila dapat call dr along yg bgtau makngah nazak, aku terus call delivery boy mintak dia dtg awal utk ambik bunga utk deliver. 10min kemudian, along call semula.."makngah dah meninggal, nak ambik ko pukul brp?" aku tak dapat menjawab soalan along. speechless. aku tak menangis tp aku tak dapat bersuara. along terus kata "aku call ko later lah..bye". kemudian baru aku menangis.
malam sebelum tu perkara pelik berlaku..tiba2 aku menangis, tanpa sebab..puas aku fikir kenapa. air mata aku tak boleh berhenti. akhirnya setelah 4 jam, aku tido pukul 12malam, sambil menangis.
honestly, aku benci berita2 buruk sebab aku mmg emotional. tp itu hakikatnya. aku takut sampai ke rumah arwah dalam keadaan emotional. aku tau aku akan menangis bila tengok makngah terbaring..menangis bila orang lain menangis..
aku call hp dad semula. dad yg angkat..dad menangis.."along mandi" kata dad. "ok nanti call balik", aku terus letak telefon dan menangis lagi. aku teringat dad menangis tengok gambar makngah yang muaz snap using paksu's hp masa paksu dan busu pegi ziarah arwah. aku tau dad dengan makngah memang rapat.
melihat arwah makngah seperti melihat arwah makmah. aku tak boleh tahan air mata aku dr keluar. aku tau orang pelik melihat aku menangis sedangkan aku taklah rapat dengan arwah makngah seperti aku rapat dengan busu dan arwah makmah. tp aku dapat merasai kesedihan sepupu2 aku kerana aku juga kehilangan seseorang yang aku anggap sebagai mak dalam hidup aku.
selesai semuanya, aini called (mak sms dia bgtau tp ptg baru dia check sms) dia menangis sebab tak dpt balik. aku ingat kali terakhir dia balik, dia ada bgtau, apa2 hal bgtau dia cepat2 supaya dia dpt balik..tp bukan rezeki dia kot..
sebagai pakcik sulung dlm keluarga, daddy panggil anak2 saudaranya duduk bersama dan bagi mereka kata2 semangat, nasihat dan tegur mana2 yang perlu. dalam banyak2 anak saudara, anak arwah makngah yang selalu duduk dengan kami. kak midah antara yang paling rapat dengan kami. Pah menangis2 semasa memeluk kami semua. menjadi anak bongsu perempuan yang belum kawin, mak ayah takde lagi, dia mesti terasa sangat kehilangan.
bila balik, aku dapat rasa kekosongan dalam diri mereka, seperti kekosongan dalam diri kami sekeluarga masa arwah makmah pergi. dah setahun lebih arwah makmah pegi tapi aku masih belum dapat mengawal kesedihan setiap kali bercakap pasal arwah makmah. teringatkan arwah pun boleh buat aku menangis. aku harap aku sekuat orang lain..aku rasa the only way is to avoid thinking or talking about her..which is impossible! jadi, aku rasa aku akan terus mcm ni, menjadi diri aku..
aku doakan arwah makngah dan makmah akan ditempatkan dalam golongan org2 yang beriman..

life goes on..

2008-07-23T07:58:00.001-07:00

my cousin was admitted to hosp due to denggi berdarah. when his bro's wife called and said that "doktor kata dah takde harapan", i was shocked! we immediately went to the hosp and saw all the siblings were there, crying. me, the over-emotional one, couldn't held my tears. he's in comma and alhamdulillah, my dad texted me this evening and said he has shown positive reaction :) me, the over-emotional one, couldn't held my tears (again) i am happy with the news.

my makngah..she is getting..it's difficult to say :( not so well lately. me, the over-emotional one, couldn't held my tears every time i see her. she looked so weak, she's just too sick to eat. i cried, yes! i saw makmah in her.. and that hurts me..

my last post was about this too..heheee..i'm just too excited lahh :P this month hit until today is totally unbelieveable!!!! thank GOD for this! bersyukur sangat2..how i wish they actually bought something from me *sigh* tapi singgah pun dah cukup.. :) we'll see what will happen on july 31st hehe..
with sore throat and flu that i'm suffering right now..i think i better go to bed..

not so good...

2008-07-10T01:34:00.001-07:00

last week was hectic.. i didn't realize until monday morning, when i felt so dizzy i was unable to even stand on my own. my headache was realllyyy bad i slept the whole day.

called my sister and asked her to come back during her lunchtime and she bought panadol. but still, the pain was so bad..went to see doctor later that nite and he said that i had sleeping disorder (after full investigation on me hehehe) and i need to have proper sleep and eat on time.

i am okay now.. just that my family is so worry since no one is around, my dad called several times just to check whether i am okay or KO hehe..

what is not so good? my dream location for my shop is occupied :( yes it is sad to know about it but i know it is not my rezeki..i have to be patience (tp sampai bila?) well..just be patience lah! ada hikmah disebalik apa yg berlaku..

my website is finally up!

marketing is next *phew* still doing it even after a week of launching the web. i am glad that people called and asked about my products and making orders..but i need more! and i need to do it one-by-one. 2 tangan tak cukup rasanya..24 jam tak cukup..but this...

...this has brought smile to my face :D to get 8 people to be online at the same time is difficult yet my website has attracted that many people! alhamdulillah!!!! i was shocked but i managed to capture it..twice!!! hahaha *kind of excited that time*

i am thinking quite a lot (regarding the website) but i need time to do it..just wish me luck ok?

Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku! Pour out on us patience and constancy, and make us die as those who have surrendered themselves unto You. (7:126)

multitasking

2008-06-26T00:57:00.000-07:00

i am a multitasking person. see now, while i do my work (to do flowers means i use my hands), i watch online movies LOL. it really saves time you know! while waiting for the next episode to load, i blog. and i read blogs (i am reading our former PM blog now). working from home is different from 8-5 job. it's like 24-7 job. anytime anywhere.
in my opinion, being multitasking is making me organized. most of the time, i plan my day, like what to do in the morning, then what task that i have to finish by 3pm. usually by 5pm, i try to stop and rest for a while to do i want (like cooking, watching tv, etc) i will start fresh at 8pm to do the leftover, that would drag me to work until midnight.
weekend is solely for family, unless i have orders to do then i will bring all the stuff back to my parents house and do it. sometimes, i get some helping hands from mom, auntie and uncle (while all of us sitting and gossiping) even my niece understands me! 'maklang work' she said that and she won't be disturbing me and touch my stuff (i warn her because i use wire, pliers and scissors so there is no chance for her to get near my stuff)
how multitasking are you? how do it change your life?
oh all the movies are loaded..i have to stop here (talking about multitasking! hehe)

coming very soon!!

2008-06-20T01:57:00.000-07:00

i can't believe that this is real. i've been waiting for the moment for sooo long (since i started my own business) and finally it is here..

yes, my own website!

i bought the domain name in February.and the hosting.it's quite cheap.then i tried to do the editing which was very time consuming that i finally hired someone to do it for me (someone who claimed that he is a pro..loser!!!)

ok now u smell something fishy and u are right. something is not right. i know blog is like a diary but i am not going to membebel pasal benda yang dah berlaku sebab ia sangat menyakitkan hati!!

in conclusion, now that i am quite free to do the website stuff, my website is still under construction (thanks to mr. loser.. please return my money, jangan makan duit haramlah wey) but i believe that ada hikmah disebalik semua ni.. i have freedom to do whatever i want for my website.

i am not asking for a 5k-worth website. just a simple one. plain-looking website and user-friendly. THAT'S ALL.

ok whatever it is, i have 10% more to do and i am working my brain out on the stuff to be put in the first page. first page, first impression..got me? wish me luck!

my delivery boy will be going to umrah tomorrow for a couple of week and i will be doing the delivery while he is away. not that i never did before but it is kinda difficult if i need to rush etc. i'll cope insyaAllah :)

and these cute lil' cats that has been residing on my balcony for more than 3 weeks are driving me crazy! i can't even open my window (alergy) and now the smell!! i hate to throw them away coz they're just..cats! they will go somehow but when?? i guess i just have to be patient..i love cats. i used to sleep with my cats, Maya and another one is Putih when i was small (i sleep with arwah makmah) but as i grow older, the alergy is getting worse and i have to wash my hands if i touch them :( otherwise, i will end up at clinic. my late makmah loved cat (hers was 'Bush' hehe)

oh today is my cousin's birthday! so..Happy Birthday Muaz! jangan nakal2 ye sayang! :) he is so lucky to be surrounded by many sisters and brothers and uncles and aunties that loves him so much. i don't know what i should buy for him..maybe clothes, baju ke seluar ke..he already got his long-awaited PSP last month, thanks to kak aini :)

my sister just got back from South Africa (and safari and victoria falls) and bought me a 'success' stone (it has name and obviously i have forgotten the name of the stone!) but the color is turquoise and i love it :) my wish is to berjaya dalam semua bidang yang diceburi (mcm dalam resume plak huhu)

oh i have to stop here and pack to go home..yes home sweet home..to see my parents and muaz and sofy and hariz..it's been only 2 days and i already miss them! mak called just now and mentioned about cendawan masak lemak cili api..so tempting lahh!! saja je mak ckp kan :) hehe!

happy weekend!

I LOVE APRIL!!

2008-04-18T00:54:00.000-07:00

when i wake up every morning, i have set in my mind on the things that i wanna do on that particular day. every night when i go to sleep, i feel regret for not doing what i have planned and that i have wasted my entire day thinking and do absolutely nothing!!

but at last i did it!! yesterday i did some changes on my room..well not some..major changes i guess as i moved everything! the computer table, the bed, the cupboard and i moved some boxes to next room which is empty now. it took whole day to do it since i've been doing it alone.. i am not going to post any pics on my new-look room! hehe..but i am comfortable with the arrangements and i think i need to buy few pic frames..or i just DIY the frame (just hope i'm not lazy to do it)

last month was quite hectic, especially towards the end of month. next month is gonna be busy too..i am fully occupied on weekends. nope! i am not complaining! in fact i am happy that my business is growing stronger..it's just that i need to be organized coz i work alone.

what i did on the very last day of march? i went to see my mentor! it's been a while since my last visit but he seems okay with that :P abang ajak and his humbleness. how could i forget that! me and him is like langit dan bumi..i have 2++ years experience and he has 20++ experience!! so now you see the difference right! i went there with mya, my best blog buddy!! we met only twice but seems like dah kenal lama!! i truly enjoy every moment with her. she has faced health difficulties lately and i feel that as a friend, i should shower her with happiness (that was when the idea of meeting abang ajak suddenly crossed my mind!) i know how much she enjoy being surrounded by flowers and wedding stuff...i hope she's happy with our jalan-jalan at kedai bunga hehe.. and get to taste the best ayam kampung too..thanks a lot mya!

posing sket..jangan marah :P
why i love april? i got to see my dear sister few weeks back and it's been great!!! how i wish i can see her everyday..*sigh* she missed my darling niece sooo much..as much as the girl missed her..they were cuddling till we said goodbye.

oh gawd..looks like it's going to rain any minute! i better be off now!

2008-03-12T06:36:00.000-07:00

nak goreng kentang utk budak-budak ni..tetiba tgk..gas habis?? alamak..

quickly asked my nephew to ambik my handbag and call org gas.

aku : hello..saya mau gas

org gas cina : apa gas?? takda gas..

aku : gas lah..mau 12 kilo punya

org cina gas : sini talak juai gas, sini ada juai kelanda org mati munya

aku : ohh ok ok

aku terus letak telefon..peliknya..betul lah nombor ni, caner leh salah ek?

aku berdiri lagi depan fridge, tgk kertas nombor telefon..tetiba..

apa?? keranda orang mati???!!!!!<---slow pick up sebab blur pasal nombor telefon

hahahahha..giler betul...sapa yang salah ni..aku ke org tu? betullah nomb..

alamak salah nombor!!! 013- lah bukan 012- salah nombor!!!

hahahha..aku yg salah nombor :p

terbantut makan malam budak2 ni..sian..

p/s: dah dinner, supper makan McD lagi..bukan aku..budak-budak ni ler..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my sister came back from work and announced that she was offered the job that she wanted all this time..permanent job, with all the tip top benefits plus COLA allowance.

i am not happy with the news, with the fact that she's gonna move out soon (work starts april 1)

and the fact that i'm going to be apart from my darling niece *uhuk uhuk*

despite her being naughty and menangis-nangis tanak mandi, tanak pegi school.. i really enjoy her company. drinking milk on my lap while watching cartoon..hugging me before sleep..

uh, i remember this morning she was crying like kena pukul (i'm sure my neighbour heard me scream) because she doesn't want to take bath. then, she baring on my bed to wear diapers while drinking milk and there i was, looking at her. tetiba rasa sedih, i didn't mean to shout at her but i had to. kalau tak, dia akan menjerit dan melompat atas aku dan mencakar muka aku! hehe..ganas giler! she is so hot-tempered! just like me :P

then, with the good news from her mama, i feel even sadder..i've never been apart from her since she was born. the longest time was when my sister moved in here. i was at hometown with my dad and younger sister (few moons).

i must get use to the situation, and the house must be empty and quiet without her. alamak sedih plak..hehe..but she's not going to stay far from us..dekat je..like 10mins drive! hahahha..

well..that's me, the emotional fun loving auntie :P now, i am happy with the news!

my sister will get her dream job and happily-ever-after life, so i am happy for her..

i'm sure i will miss my darling niece, but life goes on..

this is for my cousin's event. table arrangement with all purple flowers :)

2008-02-27T01:53:00.000-08:00

the weather now is soooo fine!

i love the cool breeze..it was raining..and it's windy now..

i feel like living in US/UK lah hehe (never been to the place before!)

my business is in neutral mode. i can see that it is growing..slowly..alhamdulillah. i have discussed with my dear older sister earlier about renting a shoplot/kiosk to sell flowers but her answers were all negative (in a good way). it made me think twice (or more!) about planning to get a place to market flowers. the most important factor is the expenses that i have to cover. it's a lot! she's damn right! :P

she mentioned that i will not have the flexibility to work on my other parts of business, that is wedding planning, which i agree! limited space to do my hantaran stuff and etc..and the fact that i cannot hire a worker to take care of the shop (i need to be there also lah) because that will increase the expenses as well..

it's just so difficult to decide on this! so, i think i just be where i am now. and besides, home-based business is a trend nowadays dontcha think?!!

only full-time worker like me can be considered as a home-based entrepreneur okay! :)

jom cuci mata!

p/s: just read about a friend who miscarriaged her twin..my deep sympathy for her..

let's blog!!!

2008-02-19T06:11:00.000-08:00

currently, i am working on my new website. it's a business website, not a personal one hehe.. so i have to manage 2 blogs and 1 fotoblog in total (and 1 website coming soon..huh) and 1 personal blog (this blog, that is) and 1 fotoblog which belongs to my darling niece. that's a lot! uwaaaa!!!!!
i enjoy blogging. i always love to write! i did write when i was young..cerpen lah apa lah..konsep memegang pen dan kertas adalah sangat best! tak tulis, melukis kankan :P
and i enjoy bloghopping hehe..mostly tengok gambar2 menarik je..kalau rajin, i will comment. if not, i just be a silent reader :P i blog about my life and my working life, others blog about their cats, their cars, their fav shopping places, their weddings (i enjoy this!) there's a lot to blog!
on the other note, i was talking to one of my friends this afternoon. she made me realize something that i have that others not..flexibility of working hours. and enjoy my hobby as my full time job...
:)
most people are so jealous of me (haha aku tau!!!) well, this is what i love to do and i will continue doing it for the rest of my life..insyaAllah..pray for my success..there are risks and consequences, tapi semua tu tak menghalang aku dari buat sesuatu yang aku suka..
what a post without a picture kan?

my 99 roses..for a special customer to his special someone..with a (fake) wedding proposal ring!! :P

congratulations sis!!

2008-02-05T01:22:00.000-08:00

this is truly the best day of my life!!!

to my lovely sister aini..congratssss!

i hope you are happy and i wish you all the best.

we are so proud of you..and we know you can do it.

*writing without feeling emotional is soooo not me..yes i am sebak right now*

do your best okay? kami semua mendoakan kejayaan ko!!! *hugssss*

what am i gonna do tonite? scrapbooking! yes! an album for aini..as she will be away from home for more than 6 months, i guess that's what she need most, with lots of photos of all the manchees in the house *hehehheeeee*

one coffee please!

2008-01-23T04:24:00.000-08:00

i knew coffee works wonders to me..but i didn't know it worked so fast!
late nights and sleepy after lunch hour..i still refuse to take caffeine. i was addicted to it when i was in uni so i try my very best to avoid it unless i crave for it. but, with my workload, i just have to take it!!
surprisingly, i am wide awake and recharged after 5 mins!!! maybe i shud drink camomile tea tonite :P

it's a new year

2008-01-03T04:35:00.000-08:00

i finally blog after being idle for more than a month. december was always a busy month for me. i didn't have time to blog but i did bloghopping though *hehe* to get fresh new ideas for upcoming projects. i did some editing for pictures to be shown to my customers (in order to secure sales/close deal, must have end product pics). i also slept a lot (my sleeping hours mcm biasa tapi susah nak lelap. i mentioned that in previous entry plus qada' tido). oh! and i did this!!cute tak? hehhe..well, that actually for me to jot down and scribble whatever related to my business. the main reason i bought the book is because i rarely write (menaip je kejenya) so i missed my beautiful handwriting hahaha..seriously! rindu nak menulis..i remember making short notes during uni days..pakai pen kaler2..best! so i bought a book and some color papers and started doing collage. yelah nowadays org panggil scrapbook!*rolling eyes* since fuchia is my official color for december *grin* i bought fuchia color paper. and i also bought pink-colored pen (with pink ink, my darling niece loves the pen) so far, i managed to write 1 page. yes..1 page! i will update my book very very soon, i promise!

i have got several big sales for december. from big names. to big/important people. am so bersyukur for that..although penat, sakit kaki but deep inside, i am happy! networking is very important in business. everyone agrees on this. so, bila dapat big sales from big names, dah ada contact, senanglah sikit kan.. i did my very best to impress these people. ok2 another photos to feast the eyes..

okay, you may have wondered what is that teddy pic kan? hehe..it is actually a teddy and a cake with small arrangement of flowers. i so like B&W picture but somehow it didn't look good with pretty/cute pictures like flower pictures because it's the colors that makes it look alive..so teddy kena berkorban utk bunga-bunga ku..cian teddy..*hug teddy* as for the other one, it's a rose arrangement in red basket. the basket was bought for christmas hamper and i used it for my arrangement. it looked sooo nice! i was like floating while arranging the flowers because i loveee the color combination of the arrangement. it made me smile. btw, we ate nando's for dinner that nite (the only fast food restaurant that offers delivery service in the area. we just discovered that secret recipe also have delivery service *evil grin*) that green cards are for free drink..eemm belum redeem pun..

i managed to finish all my work (2 sets of hantaran) before the short break (Hari Raya Haji and Christmas) we headed to Kelantan for my darling nephew cukur jambul kenduri. jalan biasa gua musang tu dah tutup so we used grik road. my sister who left earlier with husband and 2 kids (my darling niece and nephew) to beraya at her PIL's house said that the road was big and cantik. we were very excited because we were going to merentasi Banjaran Titiwangsa hehe.. the view was breathtaking..heading up north memang best sebab ada air terjun and gua tempurung etc etc.. permandangan yang lawa. but i was disappointed because we didn't stop at Kuala Kangsar. i love the city! i hope to get a chance to go there..one fine day..hhheeee..

although the journey was tiring, all of us were so happy.siap berenti ambik gambar mcm kat oversea plak at hentian titiwangsa. the wheather was windy dan sejuk2 dan bestttt!! my darling cousin kejap naik keta sana kejap naik keta sini..we hoped to hear his teka teki but he slept all the way and kept asking "bila nak sampai ni..dah 9 kali tido" hehehe..overall, memang penat (i didn't drive but i was tired too okay) masa nak balik ke sini semula? i didn't wish to cerita in here..tapi selamat sampai lah kul 3am on monday. quite an experience for me..

that's me (i know my face looked bulat..blame the tudung!! hehehehhe!!!) with cheeky darling cousin (who likes making faces bile ambik gambar dan suka mereka teka-teki yang hebat..we sometimes gave up! hehehe)

and we lost our dear auntie..a day after christmas. i didn't go..luckily.. i may sound selfish, or rude..but i simply can't. i was having difficult time when i lost makmah..until now. and to face another kematian dalam keluarga adalah perkara terakhir that i wanted. my eldest sis n mom (arwah's bestfriend during maktab) sent the jenazah to arwah's kampung utk dikebumikan. losing someone you love is very painful..at least to me.. semoga roh arwah dicucuri rahmat..al-fathihah..

gambar selingan. takde kena mengena dengan cerita..gift from my cousins' daughter n son cukur jambul kenduri on dec 25.
this is my last (and favourite) project for 2007..working is theraphy *wide smile*
happy new year to all dear readers and friends..

i wish this blog will not end up bersarang..promise will update at least once a month..heehhhheeeee...

good nite!

p/s:

still not good (and malas) in arranging pictures in blog..sorry yerrrr

lazy

2007-11-29T19:44:00.000-08:00

i am in lazy mode (read: super lazy mode)
i have a list of things that i need to do and i haven't started anything although it has been nearly a week!
am thinking of buying a small white board and post everything, just to encourage myself to work hard :)
actually i have a small white board : in my brain - but this white board is making me sleepless!
why i'm saying that? although i sleep, my brain doesn't. it is working. i ended up being a zombie. i am mentally tired and that made me physically tired! i dream of working while ppl dream of err...whatever dreams they had! how i wish i have a nice dream..(dream of mandi laut pun best gak, lama tak pegi dah..hehehe)
no no i don't need a vacation! nope!
i just need to work! for me work is theraphy!
the busier i get, the more happy i am :) you'll be happy too if u are being surrounded by something u love.. :)
ohh now i feel much better! ohhhh is that mean i need to blog to recharge myself??
LOL

p/s: the meeting went well..all of us were happy yesterday. we will be working on our company profile and list what we actually need in order to expand our business. i got a chance to meet lots of friends and expanding business networks and meet this sweet girl that have same passion with me;doing online business that is.
will write about this later (err it's not a promise!)

:)

alhamdulillah

i am so grateful today. received a call from government agency requesting for hand bouquets for their function next month. they need at least 9 bouquets of different designs and prices.

what more? the largest bouquet will be for the wife of prime minister.

how's that? :)

i will be meeting the person in charge tomorrow morning to discuss further on this.

oh! and at 3pm tomorrow, there will be a small gathering of us the SME women with 'someone' from government agency also!

my rezeki is at government agency this month!! LOL

wherever the rezeki is, i will grab it. kerajaan ke swasta ke..asalkan business masuk kan?

wish me luck!

p/s: all of us will be going out for dinner tonite. my aunt + uncle joined too..the house will be FULL tonite! alhamdulillah!

wedding hiccups

2007-11-17T08:50:00.000-08:00

I’ve been through a lot of weddings..Err i mean customers' not mine :P
The feeling is the same..
i got nervous when i have little time to do things..
i cried during akad nikah hahahha..(touching okay!)
happy when ppl came into the bilik pengantin and praised the hantarans/decorations..
and i ended up being their counsellor. what to buy for hantaran?? where do u think the imam should sit? what is the best color for my skin tone? some even ask about things like when to bring out the hantarans, should the bride sit near to the bridegroom and many more.
What I fear most is wedding hiccups.
I try to avoid last minute preparations because you never know what will happen! Always be ready to face any problems in the ceremony because we are the one who solve the problem, not the bride! So, I need to be calm and not kalut!
There is no such thing as perfect wedding. My motto is “prepare it like your own wedding!” so, I will work hard for my customers. Always try to make it as perfect as possible. That will avoid wedding hiccups aight?!

-------------------------------------------------

I have not updated my business blog for quite sometimes.
And now I think I HAVE to do it coz customers are complaining!
They wanted to see what’s for sale (since these months are wedding months)
Ermm... i do have things to let go so I should start with monthly promotion.
A picture for you all to cuci mata..
*my ‘English-theme-turned-to-be-tropical-theme’ hantaran. I like it though!*

al-fatihah

i was at Carrefour when i received sms from anon. i didn't know it was from my dear best friend, ina because she is now at Indonesia attending friend's wedding. yes, the sms was from her and when i read the sms saying "Flowerpot, wchor aku meninggal pg td. kebumi lps asr.aku sedih sgt la.masa aku x plak jd mcmni. wchor dahla close dgn aku. xsangka.hiba sgt :-(", i was shocked! my hands were shaking as i read it again..and again..
i was clueless..i was like "is this a joke??!!"
i immediately searched for her number in my handphone but when i saw a list of her family phone numbers (ina @ father, ina @ joe, ina @ maxis, ina @ sban, ina @ syam, ina @ wanchor), i changed my mind. maybe i shud call her father! err..no! my finger scrolled for joe's number. joe picked up almost immeditely and i heard ppl reciting al-Quran. i cried. so it's true!
kinda hard to talk but i managed to ask joe "kak ina smsed me. betul ke wanchor...". he said yes..
but how? when? well, i knew wanchor was admitted to hospital during hari raya but i thought it was nothing serious. i cried harder when joe said "joe pun taktau..tiba-tiba..". he sounded very very sad.
it must be very hard to accept the situation. i couldn't stop crying because all i can remember was my dear makmah. wanchor was close to ina just as i was close to makmah. i am still in recovery of losing makmah eventhough it has been 7 months since she left us.
This year's hari raya was not the same. i cried on hari raya eve trying not to think about how she prepared lemang and ketupat at busu's house. i cried on hari raya when i saw Uncle Hairul. i'm sure he feels the same too. he cried when he saw dad.
ina..banyak bersabar ye..ada hikmahnya disebalik apa yang terjadi..
i will be there for you always..remember that..
*hugs*

240 km/h

2007-10-07T08:38:00.000-07:00

i didn't realized that it was brabus until my sis mentioned about it to my dad last nite.

all i remember was i didn't have to close the car boot manually. just press the button and it will close by itself. sitting at the passenger sit was like in the F1 car - i was freaking scared! i hold the 'pemegang' until i reach my dad's house. i didn't dare to look anywhere except the front cars-btw i knew it was 240km/h from my sis also lah hehe..

well..i have to say that it was quite an experience coz my hands and legs were 'lenguh'..*sigh*

--------------------------------------------------------------

i didn't spent much time with my niece lately. usually i will wait until she sleep and will take her to sleep with me and my sis. but she sleeps late and my mom and dad will wait for her and bring her to sleep with them. i'm just too tired and sleepy. but, i will spend my time with her playing with her toys, cuddling her lil' bro with her and feed her and bathe her and..oh okay! i DID spent much time with her! hehe..she's being hyper active nowadays! but sometimes so manja wants us to dukung her and didn't let me dukung her lil' bro. thats her..i just love the way she is now.. long curly hair, garu kepala yang berpeluh2 tu ;) really miss her now..will meet her on wednesday insyaAllah..
:)

--------------------------------------------------------------

i can't finish up doing orders from customer tonite coz my glue gun 'meletop' (like a real gun)
and i have 3 orders more to do..and 2 vase of flowers to be done!
why is this happening to me NOW!!!
i better go to sleep now..

my birthday

2007-10-02T07:49:00.000-07:00

ok..today is my birthday..*wink*
i went to sleep few minutes before 12.
all i remember was my dear makmah..
if she was here, she will be the first person to call me..
she never failed to do so every single year
i know i'm a bit emotional but i missed her teribbly!
can't imagine myself visiting her grave this coming hari raya
no more going to beraya at mak mah's house
no more eating makmah's pizza..
*crying*

------------------------------------------------

my sisters and i went for buka posa at alamanda
they belanja me KFC ;)
nothing special..i mean the celebration
what made it so special is call/sms from family and friends
i truly appreciate it! thanks a lot :)
will update more
i'm currently busy with work :(

after 3 years..

2007-09-28T21:16:00.000-07:00

it is quite difficult for me to explain how we've met. for all i know, it was through friends. we've became close and the last time we met each other was 3 year back. she is fun talkative girl! i enjoy being with her :) she works here near my house yet it is sooo difficult for us to meet. sometimes bumped into each other on YM but never had a chance to sembang panjang. yesterday when my sister said that her friends will be coming to our house for berbuka puasa, i sms-ed her.
me: eh, jom teman i bukak posa
suba: emm ok. i pun drive hari ni
me: :) great! jumpa kat alamanda ok?
suba: ok
oh, did i tell u she's an indian girl? yes she is..Suba :) btw, she's younger than me hehe..
after 3 years, mcm jejak kasih plak..hehe my first impression was "apsal dah kurus"
"work and personal matters", she replied. then we had a longgggg talk (she talked while i ate hahaha).
she surprised me with an announcement: her bf already 'meminang' (now i know that in indian culture pun ada meminang :P ) and what's best? aku lah orang pertama yang dia bgtau! hehehe..then i said "i was thinking of writing congrats on the note tapi fikir2, utk apa, instead i wrote thanks for everything" (i gave her choc chip cookies and a note) pelik kan?
dah makan borak makan borak, we decided to go back. on the way, she sms-ed her future husband (okay..bf, not future husband nanti dia marah) and tell him that we are going to have bukak posa session again this coming wednesday to introduce him to me. and she sent me back (otherwise i have to take cab..malu, pakcik cab dah kenal.selalu sangat naik cab)
i had a great nite!

quick update

2007-09-26T16:32:00.000-07:00

im kinda lazy to update my blog *i guess im not in the moodlah*
tired, sleepy, selsema.. emm, macam2 penyakit datang selain penyakit malas!
erna is here in KL and we have met in precinct 2..nak pass the layer cake..:)
she looked great! (w/pun nampak kurus skit) and the kids are adorable!
damia ngantuk so dia dah nangis2..and danish lambai auntie sampai jauhhhh..hehehe..
suddenly, i missed my old times with uni friends. lama giler tak jumpa erna, since grad and that was err..4 years back! i have planned for berbuka posa with them tapi looks like tak cukup korum..nik balik kg and others like susah nak contact :( tinggal ani and me which is meriah gak but not so meriah hahaha..we'll do it some other time..maybe after raya ke..before new year.
thanks erna for the cake (for sale not to eat!) but i have tasted the cakes. nenas and prune memang best! asked along to buy prune flavour for dad and mak. they love prune :)
eh..my sisters should be back by now. where are they? takpe nanti call tanya.
----------------------------------------
currently working on hari raya card for a friend..
i love designing! :)

it was her

2007-09-20T03:13:00.000-07:00

i was in the bus when i heard the news about nurin.
it was her..i immediately cried (yes, in the bus..so what)
pada aku ini semua ketentuan Allah
dah sampai Sentral, naik cab..nangis lagi..sampai umah..
nasib pakcik cab tu tak perasan..
apa yang buat aku nangis?
1) ibubapa tanak percaya tu anak dia (dan tanak ngaku tapi sanggup kebumikan mayat arwah)
2) letak diri aku di tempat ibubapa dia..apa rasanya? isk..sakit jantung terus mati agaknya

ini pengajaran pada ibubapa diluar sana (w/pun dah banyak jadi, masih tak serik)
the most important thing is:
tengoklah kemana anak2 tu pergi, jangan dibiar je budak2 tu pegi kedai sorang2..kan kecik lagi!!!<--marah ni!!!
korang penat2 bela dia dari kecik sampai besar, bila dah besar, abaikan keselamatan mereka. apa gunanya bela dari kecik?? baik takyah ada anak kalau tak reti jaga!!!!
anak kalau berderet sekalipun, jagalahhhhh. bila dah jadi baru nak kecoh. dah terlewat!!!

bila jadi mcm ni, org macam aku yang takde kena-mengena ni pun boleh stress!
stress tau tak..teringat sepupu, anak2 saudara kita yang masih kecil..harap2 mereka dijaga dengan baik oleh mak ayah diaorg..

ibubapa sekalian..jagalah anak tu.
mak-mak di malaysia: jangan ternganga tgk telenovela sampai anak keluar pun tak nampak. kalau dok dapur masak, kunci pintu depan, simpan kunci tinggi2..
ayah-ayah di malaysia: jangan nak tido/ngadap tv tgk bola/baca paper sampai malas nak keluar beli keperluan rumah (hingga anak kecik pun disuruh pegi kedai). mana tanggungjawab anda?? ada ke budak kecik gi kedai beli barang dapur?? sapa ajar tu? kesian lah mereka tu budak2 lagi.. kalau dah sek men lainlah..ni sek rendah!
korang nih takde simpati ke pada anak2 korang?
aku tau aku salahkan mak ayah dalam hal ni..sebabnya? memang salah mereka..biar anak2 berkeliaran ntah kemana..dah hilang baru nak carik..buat apa..dah terlewat!!
oklah..tadi nangis, ni marah plak<--i am really stress nih!
oh talking about stress dan nangis, teringat nik..hahahhahah
jangan marah eh..huhu..

salam ramadhan

2007-09-19T03:31:00.000-07:00

ok..all listed..time to work!
p/s: miss my darling niece n nephew :(

*updated again*-->malasnya nak buat keje!

actually this is my 2nd attempt to blog, or shall i say, to create my own blog.
my first one? well..i have deleted all! not many postings but i guess it was tak best langsung.. hehe..i was browsing for new template tadi, and i found this template! nice eh? heeeheee..
i've actually found one, which is soooo me tapi dah ada orang pakailah..tak best plak. instead i use it for my desktop :) very vintage-looking desktop background okay!
the reason why i blog is almost the same lah mcm org lain..other reason is sejak akhir2 ni, i feel that memendam perasaan is not good for health hehehhe..baik put it into writing kankan?
walaupun susah skit aku nak bagi orang baca apa yang aku rasa/fikir..tapi aku rasa it's good since i dont own a diary mcm zaman kecik2 dulu.
oklah..dah malas nak type..takde idea..nak jalan-jalan kacau blog orang plak..huhu..chow!
