Is happiness is too far to be reached...

As usual i have some good food pictures this week to be shared:) But before that would like to blog about life,happiness and stress.If we read in the newspaper we have 60 suicides per month in the country which is a very scary trend,these people decided to end their lifes over daily mattesr like fighting with parents,overloaded homeworks,failure in a relationship even jealousy and bored..Insyallah we muslims we stand and guided by our pegangan..mintak di jauhkan semua bala dan musibah.Stress is very rampant nowadays,banyak sangat yang tak happy,tahun baru banyak perubahan berlaku banyak yang tak boleh cope dengan perubahan,tak suka dengan banyak benda,impian tak tercapai,apa yang di harapkan tak jadi.My good friend pun sakit akibat stress,MC and grounded in her house,stress kerja..moga dia tabah menghadapi segalanya dan sembuh dengan segera.When we deal with heart it is very difficult to say..bagi yang ringan kat kita berat bagi mereka.Some decides to be stress over simple matter,i witness this,since we are working in a group and  in a community it is difficult..bila kita tak ikut stress dia jadi marah..dia rasa issue besar tu di perlekehkan..semua orang mesti stress macam dia.Susah lah macam tu..maybe it is easy said than done..but again you always have choice..bila kita disakiti kita ada pilihan untuk duduk menangis dan menderita tanpa buat apa2 atau kita bubuh ubat,lupakan dan teruskan kehidupan.To me life is so short..i love my life,dengan izin Allah Sbt i bina my happiness,it was not easy in the beginning insyAllah if we sabar kita dapatlah apa yang kita nak..because of that i dont want to be stressful over a simple thing..my house,my family,my passion all contribute to my happiness..i dont set a very high standard to be happy,like to have 3 BMWs,2 bangalows,naik pangkat tiap tahun etc ..simple thing like masak,keluar lunch denga buddies,watching vcd with my girls,membina angan2 dengan menengok design rumah dgn hb di websites,holding hands in the park..buat bubur kacang for my mom..semua boleh buat me happy.Having said that..of course i am not a superhuman..there were my gloomy days..i marah,i merajuk,i mengamuk but i deal with it...to me one sad day can be overcome by 3 mins happiness..jumpa orang yang menyakitkan hati di office,boleh diatasi dengan tengok Tiamia senyum,dengan masak sup di dapur.Biarlah tahun 2011 ini baik utk semua orang..kalau kita sakit kepala pandanglah pada yang menderita kanser otak,kalau kita gaji kecik tengoklah pada yang tidur di bawah jembatan and kalau kita rasa kita kurang,kita tak sempurna..kita sentiasa boleh berusaha.Bina impian dalam hidup,malah setiap hari setiap bulan..kita akan ada sesuatu utk di capai setiap hari setiap bulan dan tahun..Hidup sentiasa indah kalau kita mahu ia indah..tak kira kita duduk di Damansara heights,kepong atau sabak bernam..tak kira samada kita naik basikal atau hummer..yang penting tak boleh berpura,tak boleh extreme,kalau sakit akui lah sakit dan berubat dan kalau tak perlu menjerit maka jangan menjerit..Okay i am done with my bebelan..now jom tengok apa yang dapur i hasilkan..for the past one week..p.s ada yang cakap "tak penat ke masak?wow beriya masak!!..wahh you domestic goddess!!..the answer is..if you are passionate about anything it wont become a chore..Moga semua orang mendapat hari2 yang seronok.Jom berseronok;);)

Great Escapade 2 - Swiss garden Damai Laut by Canon Ixus

We had great 3 days 2 nites stay at Swiss Garden Damai Laut,Lumut.All pictures were taken by my small Canon Ixus which was once dropped by Mia and ended in Canon clinic for so long and again dropped by none other than mama at the Lumut jetty during this trip!!(so we are now equal Adik!)..the pictures however still look good;) Swiss Garden Damai Laut is very secluded,it is like 30 kilometres from Lumut town,you have to drive in very deep into the forest through small road..Swiss garden is the only hotel there occupying the private beach..being a 4 stars hotel nothing extra ordinary there, but the place was nice,the people were great,lots of foods but not as tasty as the 5 stars hotel..the best is the beach and the swimming pool..the pool is the same level with the sunset  as the hotel is situated on the cliff,it was really beautiful in the evening.The pool was spacious and well shaded by the trees..parents can just relax at the ample pool chairs. The private beach was great too..they are clean even the water was not as clear as at Pangkor..since it is situated at cape,the beach is not really hot..shaded by trees and cliff very well so that you can just sleep at the beach chairs while your children played until pengsan2;) They have children activities by the beach,beside water sport they can play sand art..and when nite comes you can opt for BBQ by the beach cafe..yeap the cafe is exactly by the water..even the food cannot get my thumbs up (me being very fussy about food) but the ambience was very nice,the live singers will come to your tables and serenade you with songs while you were eating,the waiter even come with mosquitos repellent if you wish to have it rub on your arms. Overall the stay there was great,people were nice too us..smiles and greeting everywhere;)

Now enjoy the pictures:)

Great Escapade!

Just enjoy the beautiful pictures first,will story mory laterrr:):)

Facts of Life

Thank You to Maya Marissa for the Award:) I am not that really versatile,talented and far from perfect but i feel honoured and sincerely happy when people wrote in their blogs or some sent private emails saying that they are inspired by me..Alhamdulillah:) Sharing is the best way to say "we care" and "we love each other",blogging/fb are wonderful ways to share your thoughts and share some personal tips,i love my life,everyday is a special day and i wanna to enjoy it to the fullest,i hope people see and embrace their lifes in the same wonderful way too:) Lets share and let us be happy together.

As the rule to accept this award is to write down 7 facts of your life..i will try to be as honest ast possible here :

No1.

When i was small,in my teens i never cook not until i was in my twenties renting apartment together with my friends.My emak tak pernah paksa me masak,i tak pernah belajar masak but i love to be in the kitchen with my emak,to me being in the kitchen seeing her cooking and doing the house chores was the wonderful experience,i relate cooking to love and care.I tak realise that  my cooking is "good" (he..hee..based on testimonials) until some of my friends willing to buy fish etc for me to cook:) it is a wonderful feeling when people enjoy your cooking,from there i never stop,it becomes passion and secretly a therapy to me.

No 2.

When i was small i hardly go out and play with friends,my late father  father was strict and my  age gap between me and my sister is quite huge.I spent most of my time reading books supplied by my brother who at that time working with Dewan Bahasa and Pustaka, i will tug half of my body under the bed and read the books until fell asleep. Everytime after i got back from school i cant eat without reading,after i have read all the book i will just repeat it for the sake of reading while eating.I sometimes arranged a little picnic for myself under the tree at the back of the house with the book and food.I love gardening since small too..love looking at the plant growing,i feel amaze looking at "taugeh" or "cucumber" that can grow so fast.No kawan tak make me sad but gave me more room to do  things i like..i was like "having the growing up time" all by myself.

No 3.

School days- I was very good at drawing and storytelling..but poor in maths:( I took commerce, never think about nak excel in life until i was Form Four,masa ni i rasa i kena buat sesuatu tentang hidup..masa ni determine nak kerja yang "tak di kerah orang" but people will listen to us:) he..hee besar cita2..deep inside my heart interior designing,storytelling,cooking adalah yang paling di cintai.

Talked about di cintai masa sekolah tak suka budak lelaki,i hate boys..ada yang suka2 kacau sampai nak nangis..rasanya none of the boys yang i suka..tak suka boys ni berlarutan until masuk University..masa ni lagi teruk..semua orang ada boufriend..kita pulak semua tak suka,kawan sibuk match kan..pergi dating..tapi balik tak suka,siap lah budak tu datang kolej tanya why,apa salah dia..ada jugak few peminat masa ni..tapi rasanya yang suka kat kita semua yangb pelik2,nama binatang like "tupai","tanduk" rasa sangat benci.Alhamdulillah tamat Degree in Law,complete the circle by doing Chambering,was called to the bar and conferred as an Advocate and Solicitor..tapi cinta terhadap ID,cooking and travelling tak pernah pudar.

No 4.

Love story- macam2 jumpa orang,ada lawyer berkedudukan tinggi,he liked me but i didn't fancy him as he was shorter than me..when sent me back home from work i will ask him to stop far from my brother's house..kalau keluar makan ajak dia pergi mall yang terpencil tak ada orang,takut orang nampak..hee..hee..Pernah ada suami orang yang suka,nak bagi kereta,rumah..called siang malam..nasib baik mata tak rabun..walaupun masa tu tak der kereta,tak der rumah or even handphone..Yang dashat jadi kenangan pernah ada sesama perempuan yang suka..dia tulis surat cinta tinggalkan di mailbox..sangat seram;)

N0 5.

Sangat tak suka mintak tolong dari orang even saudara..masa awal jadi lawyer pernah naik bas ke court dengan bawak jubah labuh and buku tebal,pernah berdiri selama 5 jam di Pertama Kompleks tunggu teksi,berdiri hingga kaki kejang diddalam bas di bulan puasa,berebut naik bas di pudu raya di musim raya walaupun ada saudara mara di KL.

No 6

When i was single tiap minggu balik kampung sampai the boys said "camana nak ngorat dia,tiap minggu balik kampung,ayam bertelur balik,kucing beranak balik" My husband sekarang adalah orang yang paling degil and kental..tak pernah suka dia,dia telefon rasa tak der yang menarik,dia paling determine,after pertama kali berjumpa yang dalam paksa he said " i like you ,i nak settle down dengan you"..masa tu tengok dia langsung tak ada gelora,keluar few times nak dekat pun malas..tapi dah jodoh ..akhirnya kahwin jugak..and dia lah yang paling sabar dengan perangai me yang sedikit pelik.

No7

Kalau orang dengar mesti pelik..i paling takut nak mengandung dan beranak,when i was in my teens,saw my sister's book "New Life"..gambar orang beranak in colour and details..trauma sampai bertahun tahun..after i got married lama melengah-lengahkan and i went for family planning..sangat takut mengandung,after 5 years dah kahwin people thought i ada masalah couldn't get pregnant..they didnt know the secret,asked my husband" what if we tak ada anak bila2?"..he said "as long as we are together"..ketakutan berterusan, when i opted for MBA  itu jadi alasan utk tak pregnant lagi..until a kakak sedarkan me..she said "zu,.u cannot delay anymore,you should have at least one..you tak tau betapa bahagianya"..i told her her bukan i tak nak,i love kids,i love reading story books to them..but i takuttttt..but Allah Sbt sememangnya sangat Pengasih,Penyanyang.. a week after i passed my MBA i had a very bad headache and fever..never thought i was pregant sebab tak try lagi..after tak baik2..pergi check was 7 weeks pregnant with twins lagi..first reaction was stilled takut nak nangis..but bila dah tengok kat screen..the feeling was " my God..i want these babies so much"..so TiaMia indeed miracle given by Allah Sbt to us..banyak kebahagiaan after that not only to me and husband but to my emak and other extended families..we become closer,life become greater,..so syukur..and because of them i decided to have this blog..to share my not so great cooking skills and few other ordinary tips..but all come with love..nothing else..i hope everybody enjoy our present in this blogging worls as much as we enjoy other blogs..That's about all,nothing great nothing extra ordinary..just the life of a happy lady with her family;)
