My Ramadhan

Salam Ramadhan, apa khabar! Haih, lama kan i diam tak update blog (macam orang heran pun kan!). Malas sebenarnya. Banyak dah draft yang compose half way, tiba-tiba uninspired nak sambung. Nothing much to tell. Hidup i biasa-biasa je. Masalah mak-mak zaman sekarang, takdak drama swasta untuk dikongsi.

But..since it is fasting month. Nak jugak la update. Macam mana puasa korang semua? Harap lebih manfaat dari tahun-tahun sebelum ni. Me, okla macam biasa. Come, i share here my routine during this ramadhan month.

Hajatnya nak kumpul sebanyak mungkin pahala yang berganda sempena bulan yang mulia ni. Berazam nak baca quran sebanyak mungkin dan pegi terawih. Tapi ada kala letih la jugak, especially bila keja kat office banyak. Balik keja terus ke pasar ramadhan beli juadah bebuka. Yes, i jenis emak yang tidak masak untuk bebuka pasal agak tak praktikal dengan letih dan kalutnya lepas balik keja nak bersilat bagai memasak. Sampai rumah cepat-cepat mandi, solat dan prepare hidang makanan. Lepas bebuka kena layan si kecik plak suap dia makan bagi perabih (pasal time orang sibuk makan, dia main-main). Kemas cuci calat semua, solat maghrib, ajar my son iqra' seround pastu pegi terawih. Kalau malam tu tak pegi terawih i make sure baca sket quran. After terawih dah macam nak pensan dah sebenarnya, tapi degil takmau tido lagi pasal nak tengok tv or sidai baju dan lipat baju. Pastu kekadang prepare benda nak masak untuk sahur (usually goreng mihun/nasi/mi/koayteow). Pum pang pum pang dah pukul 12am. Letak badan kat katil terus tido, time tu tak pasti anak dah tido ke belum, tak sedar apa dah. Bangun sahur pukul 5am. Lepas makan kemas semua, solat subuh pastu spend time baca quran sket, then tido balik dalam 6.30am. Since my office is just 10 mins drive, i have the luxury to wake up a bit late. Wake up at 7.30am, siapkan si Adam pegi sekolah, siapkan diri sendiri then off to send Adam to school, send Dania to her nanny and force myself to work. 

Haa....panjang lebar pulak dok explain rutin sepanjang ramadhan kan. Macam la ada orang tanya pun kannn..hehehehe. Jangan tanya la berat dah turun ke belum setelah berbelas hari puasa. Memang confirm tak turun, i pun taktau lemak apa i bela, susah sangat nak kikis. Well..nevermind, i takde nak pakai kebaya, peplum or baju pesyen-pesyen, so body tak melentik pun tak heran. 

This year color theme is light blue. Warna yang akan nampak i lagi lebar. Kita tengok hasilnya dalam gambar raya nanti ye. Seriously, i don't give a hoot how i look like. Hahaha! 

Biskut pun dah tempah. Dok order sana sini baru realized banyak jenis rupanya biskut raya tahun ni. Nanti i tayang kat blog ok, right now tak dapat lagi semua biskut. 

Oh ya, this year we raya kat Sarawak. Oh my, imagine the weight i will gain by eating all those kek sarawak. Haihhhhh! 

That's all dear. Just a long update on my ramadhan, if you all bother to read. If you all miss me and want me to blog more frequent, just leave comment (more likely none will do..hehehe).

Till next time when i will merepek again about some random stuff. Maybe a hari raya update. Asslamualaikum & selamat berpuasa!

Wicked Witch

My company had an annual dinner recently. A theme one. You may dressed as your favourite character or personality. Most my colleague were excited to choose their costumes at the shop. I was too. Till i saw the costumes. Most of them are too tiny for me. Those that suits me are not appropriate for me, you know la kan..i am a mother, i wear hijab, gemok pulak..tak sesuai la kalau nak pakai merepek sangat. 

Finally i just wear my own black jubah, buy a pointy hat and a cape. Guess what i am?? A wicked witch! Was parading the complete costume in my house when Adam saw and asked me, "mak, mana penyapu? witch kan ada penyapu". He kept asking me that questions as if it is a sin without a broom. Luckily my office mate told she had one very realistic broom to complete my witch persona. And she even lend me her boots. Memang menjadi lah nak jadi witch malam tu! Look at the pic below, macam witch gemok nak terbang dengan penyapu ajaib kannn??? Hahahaha!

To be even more convincing, i youtube 'witch make up tutorial' and was inspired to draw a spider web on my cheeks. Funny thing was, most people were making fun of my broom. I got several request to sweep the floor. Even the clubhouse manager told me "Kak, tak payah bawak penyapu, kami dah ada" Ketuk dengan peyapu baru tau!

My costume was actually biasa je kalau nak banding dengan yang lain. They wore even more interesting costumes. I ni just main pakai je untuk kena dengan tema, since most of my colleague nak pakai costume. 

Buutttt....suprisingly...i won best dressed! Cash prize of RM300. Terkejut i! I am sure it was because of the broom. My broom was famous you know. Ramai orang amik gambar dengan i requested me to hold the broom. Haa..siapa kata penyapu bawak sial. This penyapu swept RM300 to me! Hahahaha! And of course i had to belanja the lender of the broom. But really, it was an unexpected winning. 

All in all, apart from bad food, i had fun. Oh, and our branch singing performance won 3rd prize. Cash prize of  RM500. To be shared among 12 of us. That was unexpected as well because we sang suka hati je. Rezeki kannn. Most important thing was, we all enjoyed ourselves!

Another Year Older

 

While i am away from the blog sphere, i am another year older. Yessss..i am 32 alreadeehhhh! Alhamdulillah for 32 years of life. Hope i am more wiser and kinder.

Every year mesti i akan buat wish lists for my birthday presents kannn? Well i'll skip that for today because takdak apa sangat nak wish pun. Most of the stuff i wanted last year i already got them.

But i still get presents from my husband and sisters. Before my birthday, my husband kept asking what i want, i always answered i only want iphone5 (coz that time i uses my husband's old & outdated iphone 3gs). If he couldn't afford to buy me iphone5 then i tak kisahla dia nak beli apa pun because i taktau nak mintak apa for birthday. I did not paksa him pun because i know iphone5 is ridiculously expensive, even i pun sayang duit nak beli! But my husband being sweet and thoughtful and also because he just been given bonus & increments, presented me with a smashing brand new iphone5..yayyy! Why iphone5? Because it takes awesome pictures and i can finally buy all those cute phone covers!! Currently i am using this cover. Proves that i am still nuts about polka dots! And it matches my blog's background! Because the polka dots is 3D (timbul-timbul), my kids love to play with it. Tanya nak warna apa lepas tu buat-buat ambil makan candy from the colored circles.

Then my husband treats me birthday lunch at Tony Roma's. I ordered lamb ribs (i am a sucker for lambs). It was sooo goood!  The lamb meat is tender and the crispy fat layers is scrumptious!

 My sister also blanja makan buffet lunch at Cyberview hotel. The food was ok but by the time we reached there most of the good stuff is finished. Nevermind, still had great time chit-chating with my sister. 

My younger sis gave me a sunglasses. Ok, i yang mintak sunglasses tu dari dia..hehehe. Because my favourite sunglasses dah jatuh dalam jamban kat R&R. When we went to shop for sunglasses, i was quite shocked to know that most branded ones are priced over RM1k! I never knew, because all these while i pakai yang RM10 pasar malam sunglasses saja, habis mahai pun yang Vincci ja, tu pun about RM20++ ja. And of course la i tak kering hati mintak dia beli yang mahal. After survey,Ray Ban punya gak yang ok. Below RM500, and the design suit my taste. I chose this design. A tortoise frame wayfarer. The others tak berkenan sangat, mostly macam mak datin sangat. Frame besar bulat, makes me look older and rounder. Rectangular shaped is just nice for my round chubby face.

Ok enoughla cerita pasal birthday. I am just thankful for the life i have. Actually on March is all about eating. If you see my instagram pictures, it is full of food pictures. Then you understand why my body in this state. Check me out on my instagram. My profile name is Ladydayana. I update there more often than anywhere else.
