Kak Ida’s Wedding August 29, 2008

Filed under: Family, Personal — Tiara @ 3:25 am

Some of pictures of my cousin’s wedding, held recently at her home in Subang Jaya and Holiday Villa Subang. Pictures courtesy of the bride’s family. I’ll probably be in trouble for publishing those pictures. Haha.

The newlyweds and the bride’s family. The bride’s parents are in blue attire, Aunty Midah and Uncle Pun.

The bride’s brother, Pian gave his speech.

Daddy was very “kamcheng” with that American guy.

I was being a complete anonymous on the whole wedding reception, that was why I wasn’t featured in any photos of the event. To be honest, my Coolpix ran out of batteries and I didn’t bring my Nikon D40x along. Oh no, wait a second. I think I’ve got myself squeezed into some photos but the photos were taken by another guest. I know her quite well and let’s see if I can feature some of my photos here later.

This is yet another great wedding that I’ve attended so far. To Kak Ida and Abg Farrish, Happiness Is All Yours.

 

Someday I Will. August 2, 2008

Here we go again. I’m back in my college again for the 4th semester learning. It is somewhat good to see my friends again after more than a month. Met some new lecturers and new subjects, also some new friends from another batch of Environmental Health students. Well, I guess I don’t have anything much to tell you about it, as it is only the beginning of the semester.

I’m gonna spare you some details of my relative’s wedding about 1 week ago. It was fantastic with lots of family affairs going on there. Haha. I was actually thinking of waiting for my sister to come back from her Europe trip first before uploading these pictures. My sister actually went for a trip around Europe for 2 weeks and she will return to Glasgow some when next week, I guess.

The pelamin. Gorgeous, isn’t it?

There is the bridegroom, in white Baju Melayu. The man on his right is my uncle, affectionately known as Uncle Seth. Sis Teresa, you’ve got to believe it.

I don’t care, I want to upload this picture so bad. That man in the white + brown shirt is my Daddy.

The newlyweds with the bride’s family.

Uncle Seth’s family with the newlyweds.

2 Loving Couples. Love You Both, Mom and Dad!

The makan-makan ceremony is beginning!

Up Close and Personal with the newlyweds.

A Thoughtful Gaze Into Each Other’s Eyes.

Some of the hantaran. Haha.

Soooo Freaking Delicious! Thumbs Up!

Hey, I managed to get myself into the picture!

My digicam was functioning properly on that day, but there were too many other photographers trying to get on my way. So I didn’t get to capture more great moments. Again, I have to say that this is the best wedding that I have attended so far. I hope my wedding will be as good as this, LOL. To the newlyweds, Kak Na and Abg Sham, I wish you both all the happiness in the world. Anyway, thanks for viewing my entry. I have to stop writing now and will see you again, later.

 

Initiate June 13, 2008

I finally got my last semester’s final exam result on Tuesday. My GPA slightly decreased compared to the previous semester. Do you want to know how much I got? Em.. Last semester’s subjects were lot tougher than before. Probably the most stressful semester ever, so far. In fact, I wasn’t studying seriously at that time. I devoted myself to having fun every weekends and only did my revisions on the study week. I’m a very lazy person, you know. Oh well, do you still want to know? I think I’ve had enough with all that reasons. No, I won’t tell you. But it is 3.5 above so I wouldn’t complain much about it because 3.5 is my personal minimum target.

Taken with my good old Nokia 6600.

I’m gonna go to Lowyat Plaza this Saturday. Went there last month to help my friend looking for her new laptop. And now I’m gonna get one for myself. Full credit to my far away sister and my parents for the financial help. I owe you guys lots! Speaking of my sister, she called me last week from Glasgow. I wanted to hear my nephew, Danial, speaking in English. I got to speak to him, and asked him to talk to me in English but he told me that he couldn’t do it. Maybe he was a bit shy. Or maybe it was what my sister told me that he was busy concentrating on playing Playstation. Oh how I miss that thick Penang accent. Still fresh in my mind when he used to always come into my room and asked me if he could play the computer games. I also got to talk to his little bro, Demyan. The cutest boy in the world. Aahh.. I was so happy to hear their voices, while knowing the fact that they are thousands miles away.

Oh I will sit for my final exam next week. But hey, I don’t have an idea when will I start to do some revision. I hope to get 4.00 though, because as a matter of fact, this semester’s subjects are all about what I used to learn when I was in my SPM. Yeah, it is boring you know. I even skipped lots of lectures session, mostly in last week. No way, I have to think decently. I got too much things to care about this coming weeks, particularly the Euro 2008 tournament and lots of TV shows to catch. Man, what should I do? LOL. See ya later.

 

Daddy’s Day May 22, 2008

Filed under: Family, Personal — Tiara @ 12:10 am

Semalam 21 May hari lahir Daddy aku. Hari lahir beliau yang ke 68. Damn, that number sounds really old! But wait, you will be surprised. Daddy aku takkan kelihatan setua yang kau sangka. Personally, I think he looks like a 50 year old man. Awet muda beb!

Daddy aku memang sangat best orangnya. Protective yet so sporting. He loves my mom so much. In fact, aku tak pernah nampak diorang bergaduh whatsoever. And I respect him for that. Daddy is so cool. Daddy is the word. The man that I love the most!

I had this one funny experience with my daddy. It was some time last year. I was about to go out when he saw me all dressed up with some light makeup on my face.

Daddy: Hey dear, you better wipe off that thing on your face. I don’t really like it. I prefer your natural complexion, it is much prettier.

Myself: Huh? But this is nothing much la Dad.

Mummy: Yeah, it is fine. Only that she wears some mascara which is not necessary. But I think I’m OK with that. Our girl is all grown up now.

Myself: Thanks Mummy, so cool.

Daddy: Whatever you say girls. But I think you better go natural. Guys dig that, you know.

Myself: Huh? I gotta go now. See ya both then. Ciao!

Haha. Lepas peristiwa itu, bila aku nak keluar rumah, aku kurangkan kuantiti makeup, sometimes tak pakai langsung. Betul ape yang Daddy cakap. Natural looks are better. One of the best advices from him which I will remember forever. Daddy also was the one who introduced me to Indian food. And now look, I’m addicted to eating at Mamak stalls. Daddy is my biggest influence. Thumbs up to the old fellow! I love you Daddy!

P/S: Meant to post this entry earlier tapi terlewat pulak sebab hari ni aku kelas full. Sorry. Meanwhile, Manchester United won the Champions League by beating Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a dramatic 1-1 draw. Terrible!

 

Birthday Boy May 15, 2008

Filed under: Family — Tiara @ 6:17 am

Never thought that I would be posting this entry. I suppose this is a bonus entry for you. Today, May 15th is my big brother’s 22nd birthday. See, he is almost exactly one year older than me.

Forgot to spare you some details on him. Born in the HUSM Kubang Kerian on 15th of May 1986 in which I was also born there a year later. His real name is Tabliegh Mohammed and affectionately known as Alex. A Geology student at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. He desperately wanted to be an engineer ever since he was in his Matriculation days.

He has this indispensable passion for football. Makan bola minum bola tidur bola would be the best description about him. You can see the picture above, he had a knock with Liverpool defensive midfielder, Mr Javier Mascherano. Haha. Cool edit, actually. A big fan of Manchester United, as far as I know. Our nephews who are currently live in Scotland call him Andak Beckham.

I can’t remember when was the last time I met him. Maybe on the 2007 Aidilfitri. He rarely comes home because he has to fulfill the requirement as a Geology student that is he has to attend lots of fieldwork. And he is also a quite active person in the campus.

We were attending the same school starting with SRK Sultan Ismail 3, then we moved to SK Salor because of some technical problems. And then, went to SMK Salor for secondary school. He was the head of prefects of the school. I still remember how some teachers at the school frequently compared me to him. One of them said that both of us were so different in terms of characteristics. Yeah, I had to admit it. He was of the best student and leadership material while I was being the playful one. Whatever lah. I didn’t give a damn at all about the baseless, unjustified comparison.

He once said that he was proud with the Pan-Asian look which does help him sometimes in some ways. As for myself, I don’t think I have his good looks even though people always say that we are carbon copies of each other. You don’t think so too, right? Pic above: Seen here with our nephew, El Arshad.

Quite a hot-tempered guy sometimes. I would always try my best not to get involved in any arguments with him. Sorry to say that bro. In fact, I can say that each and every boys in my family are belonged to the hot-headed type. As for me, being the youngest of the only two girls in the siblings of eight had fully understand that. Haha.

And finally I would love to wish him a Happy Prosperous 22nd Birthday. I had sent him a text message last night but there was no response. Never mind though. Hope he will success in his life. Amin.

P.S: I haven’t fully recovered from my allergicity (sorry, I love the wordplay). I prefer not to eat and try to abstain from any possibly harmful food. Sigh. But I think it is a good reason for me to start my weight loss plan. Yeah. See you then, supposedly tomorrow.

 

Mukhleiss May 10, 2008

Filed under: Family — Tiara @ 6:33 am

Photos of my youngest brother, Mukhleiss Mohammed a.k.a Ah Chai. I was about to take a nap when he asked me to take his pictures. FYI, he is currently studying in Form 2 at MRSM Pasir Tumboh, Kelantan. Quite a “manja” boy actually. He is about the same height as mine, or probably a little shorter. Never mind, he is only 14. Still gonna grow a few inches. He was playing by himself because his big brother, Mursyid was out somewhere else. I thought we were making lots of noises while taking these pictures. Kesian jiran sebelah nak tido pun tak boleh.

I’m not feeling very well today. Just another girl’s problem. You probably know that. See ya next time.

 

Smile Baby Smile May 3, 2008

Filed under: Family, Personal — Tiara @ 4:18 am

Izzat Al-Amin will turn 3 in October. I took these pictures 2 weeks ago. My mummy was cooking for lunch when he came into the kitchen and asked her to cook Maggi noodles for him. I loved to see his playful and naughty antics so I decided to take some photos of him. I asked him to smile but I certainly didn’t expect to see that kind of smile. Seemed like he was trying so hard to crack his smile. I gotta tell you that those eyes weren’t suppose to look like that.

He has a little brother named Ashraff Amir. His brother is super healthy and I bet he looks bigger than Izzat in this picture. Ashraff will turn 1 in June. About the same age with his cousin, Arshad.

And so I myself have a reason to SMILE today because I get to spend another day in my hometown. I’m going back to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow morning together with my classmates. Can’t wait to see my friends there. So I guess I’ll be seeing you later.

 

May Day May 1, 2008

Filed under: Family, Personal — Tiara @ 5:34 am

Days go by and the adventurous April passed by. Haha, adventurous? Not likely. I have a big respect towards the month of May. And so I showed my respect by waking up early in the morning of the first day of May. My mummy told me yesterday that she was going to cook nasi lemak for breakfast. Ah, my favourite. After performing Subuh prayer, I stayed awake so that I could be the first to eat the delicious nasi lemak. And apparently, I was. 2 little brothers, Alim had gone back to sleep while Ah Chai was playing the computer games.

Today, there will be a little “makan2″ feast at the surau in front of my house. It will be held in conjunction of Maulidul Rasul celebration. My mummy is in charge of cooking together with some of our neighbours. They are going to prepare the nasi dagang. Yummy. Yet another my all time favourite. And now, they are at the kitchen working those things out. Sadly I can’t help because I’m going to meet an old friend at KB Mall at 2 pm. But I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to eat the nasi dagang when I get back.

I’ll be back in Kuala Lumpur by Saturday evening. It’s been some time I didn’t fill my head with all that academical stuff. And my mind seems to get rusty with all sorts of nasty things. Haha. There are lots of things that will happen in this month and the most anticipated thing is my 21st birthday on 16th of May. Yoohoo!

 

Half A Day At Terengganu April 20, 2008

Filed under: Family, Fun, Personal — Tiara @ 6:18 am

April 17. I reached the suburb part of Marang at 4.30 am with my friend, Fairul. He is a Marangite after all. His parents picked us up and they sent me to my brother’s home at Fire Academy at Wakaf Tapai. Full credit to them for all inconveniences that I’d caused. Reached my brother’s house on 5 am and I went straight to the bed.

It was about 8.00 am when I woke up to find a little angel standing beside my bed, watching me sleeping. Oh there he goes, El Arshad. Yet another super cute little nephew of mine. Barely 11 months and managed to stand wit some little support apparently. And so I took him in my arms and marched down stairs. Took some pictures of him. I admired him a lot. Geram.

And I played with him until about 10 am when Fairul came to pick me up. We were going to meet our classmates, Zul and Abg Jahasrul to pick Fairul’s computer set. We were waiting for them in front of the new stadium of Terengganu which was still in construction.

Yeah.. a picture of myself while waiting for Zul and Jahasrul. I chose to hide in the car so that I could give them a surprise.

Jahasrul and Zul came with a little surprised to see me there. Zul didn’t say anything though, he just smiled to me. Haha, after that me and Fairul went to go sightseeing in Kuala Terengganu. We passed by Crystal Mosque but unfortunately I didn’t get to snap a picture of it. Never mind though. We went to Pantai Kelulut because I wanted to lepak2 at the beach. It was so hot there.

We ate some keropok lekor and goreng pisang while watching the sea. It was so calm yet so hot. I took this picture of a fishing boat floating on the water.

Yeah a picture of me underneath pokok kelapak.

Fairul’s handphone. I should send this photo to Nokia Corporation. Suitable for advertisements.

At last, I went home early because my sister in law told me that we would be going back to Kota Bharu at that very evening. I spent the rest of the day playing with El-Arshad.

Auntie Ya.. What Are You Staring At?

This little fellow really amazed me. He could climb up the stairs by himself without any supervision.

Mandi jom mandi!

Auntie Ya.. does my hair look good?

I had a brief short nap beside him at 4 pm. We were going to ride our way to Kota Bharu at 5.30pm.

Shhh… He is sleeping. At the same time, can’t let my hand go.

Yeah..kami berdua baru bangun tido.

Happy family.

At last, we reached the city of Kota Bharu. My bro went to buy some nasik kukus. So he had his replacement driver. :p

And so the story goes. Sorry for my broken English. Btw I’m so relaxed being back home now. See u then.
