Happy Friday

Hooooray!!! Today is Fri-dayyyyyyyyy!
But sigh... I'm working on a Public Holiday.
Today is Malaysia Independence Day!

Well....After a week in office and back to work with Raya mood, I am soooooo.... looking forward for this weekend. More open houses and food. Excited to meet my friends after so long.

This week has been a really tiring week for me and a totally fast pace, full of surprises too. I learned to be thankful and appreciate life more and to enjoy the moment while it last. Anything could happen to anybody at anytime. One day you are up, Another day you are down. It is how you see the glass, half full or half empty? To me, it is always half full and refillable!

Here are more raya photos....

What's so special about Eid Mubarak to me?

1. There's lots of food. My fav is ketupat palas with my mom's chicken rendang.
2. Duit Raya!!! Yes! eventho we are old and earn our own money, we still get duit raya from our parents and sibling! Not the amount that matters but the excitement of exchanging beautiful "duit raya" packet.
3. Beautiful dresses.. and everyone look nice on this special day.
4. Time to ask for forgiveness... and forgive everyone. It it best if you can forgive everyone before you go to sleep everynight. You may not have the time to ask for forgiveness.. we are all imperfect human, we make mistake, we hurt other people without realising it. This is the time for us to meet them and ask for forgiveness.
5. The best part is ... I can stop thinking about work for a few days!

Weekly dose @ PS Cafe (Singapore)

When everyone are enjoying long weekend in Kuala Lumpur, I had to get up early on a Sunday. But no complain cause I am flying to the city of Lion, Singapore. Well, i'm in Singapore for a week for work. It is going to be a busy week... and yet i am taking a few minutes... to post my updates. Had my lunch at PS Cafe, Palais @ Orchard Road . The ambiance is so welcoming and I can picture myself enjoying my cuppa coffee and the dessert. I was so full from my lunch and no space for dessert this time. Maybe I will make another trip before going back to KL. I love the interior so much, especially the tiles! I will post more pics next time. I only have pics from my BB now. I have a big mission this time..... to look for a handmade carpet from uncle shop (not my uncle ok!) at Arab St. This shop has all the lovely items from India. Nadia's fav item is the silk scarves. She even ordered a few...as usual. I dragged my colleague to follow me to shop before we go out for dinner

A new beginning

Every December, I will look back at my new year’s resolution. I didn’t manage to achieve all 2011 resolutions but at least more than half from the list. Being an optimistic person, I am thinking to shorten the list for this year. But does it really matter if you achieve 10% or 100% of your goals by December 2012? To me, what matter the most is the journey. Don’t worry if you keep on repeating the same resolution for 5 years down the road. Most importantly, how those goals actually transformed you to be a better person. Today, while watching 500 days of summer, I was actually thinking how to spice up my life… Not that I’m not happy with it but my brain just don’t know how to rest. As usual, I ask my best friend, what should I do to give some new colors in my life? She suggested for me to write a blog. I’ve been thinking about it for years but I just don’t have the courage to share my words and thoughts with strangers. After few minutes discussing with my best friend cum my consu

Finally.. A tick for Istanbul

I can't remember exactly how many years ago.. maybe 4 or 5, made a plan with Nadia to visit Istanbul. We wanted to explore and understand Turkish life not as a tourist but as a traveler or even better as local. But the plan got postponed year after year..  Finally, my time for Istanbul come earlier than Nadia, and December 2012 is month where i'm fated to be in the grand Blue Mosque, understand the history of Ayasofya, drink Turkish tea and enjoy Apple tea, and most importantly, make new turkish friends. So I was there with my sisters during winter season. What to expect other than windy days. And the colors are  so dull. I'm not black, white and brown kind of person. More of pink, yellow, orange, purple, blue, and green. Haha.. yes. bringht and bold. That's me.  Great, it was raining as we walk out from the Ataturk airport. So I quick make my prayer to God, "God,  please stop the rain. I want to walk out and enjoy my first day in Istanbul". Then w
