The most amazing woman in my life is now 50

It was a bright and sunny day as the temperature was 42 Celcius.Damnn hott and humid!! Most of the nearest and dearest already at our home. Some came all the way from the South and some just three doors away. The occasion started with doa and yassin recital by the presences. This event wasn’t a surprise. It was intended and well planned by us to celebrate the ‘Gold Jubilee Age’ of my lovely mother who just turned 50 three days ago. She just not a mother to me, but also my bestest friend that i admire so much. To be honest, even sometimes we argue a lot but at the end of the day those things actually make us bond really well. Deep down inside my heart, i could never been more thankful to have her in my life. Alright, stop being sentimental and better jump straight to some of pics taken on the day itself. Hehe. Happy viewing,peeps!

Valentine’s at Singapore

Some shots from quick getaway during Valentine’s Day to Kota Singa a.k.a Singapore or formerly known as Temasek in history.

VALENTINE’S DAY + CNY = Singapura became S.E.P.I

Anyway, we had total fun. Repeating travelogue for me + some mates had their first backpacking experience. Ain’t bad at all i guess since they didn’t complain anything. Hehe!

at Dhoby Gaut MRT station,interchange to Bugis MRT station via East West Line.

Elmi catching up with Auntie Jerry. Actually we bumped into this Auntie Jerry at City Hall MRT station. She asked us whether she was on the correct direction to Bugis.  Since we were heading to Bugis as well,we asked her to tag along. Apparently, she is a scuba diver. She was on few days transit at Singapore before heading to Indonesia for her diving trip. She wanted to buy a new dive mask at Bugis. The cute thing this lady did was trying to open the MRT entrance door right after we told her that she was indeed at the right line to Bugis. LOLOL! Sooo funny!!! Anyway, we actually didn’t know what her real name is. We simply called her Auntie Jerry as she’s from German (Jerman…cut short to Jerry). Haha!

The expression on Khizir’s is totally undefined…

Indecisive

Last week, i received a letter which indeed i already received it online. A few months back, i did received another letter. Basically,both have similar contents but just from different places. One from the  homeland of the hunky Gerard Butler and another one from Rio Ferdinand birth land. Hehe! Alrite, get serious. As i recall, i purposely requested both letter to be sent to me via post as i planned to use it as a supporting document for ‘something’ that i intended to apply. But looking at the current economy situation right now, i was forced to reconstruct my development plan to some other time later. Maybe in couple years after. Again, my hati koyak for the second time in a row.*Sob sob*.At first, i was so reluctant to accept the truth. But like what people always said, there’s always something good will happen after errr..not a good one. But it’s ok, i guess. It’s not that i’m letting it go forever. I still gonna pursue it. Just need to take it easy for now and try to look it in a positive way. Insya Allah with good will and good heart, i will get the best of it in my life. When? I seriously can’t tell. *cross fingers*. Not to mentioned, the last few months has been the most tiring moment in my life. Things has been up and down and i was doing all the plans in parallel. What plans? Well, everything. You name it! Trust me, it was so hard and soooo exhausting. With hopes by doing that, any good opportunities and choices shall be grab. But then again, i wasn’t so lucky then. Darn! But come to think of it, if all the plans constructed actually working well, i will be indecisive. I was and yet, in indecisive mode now. Was stucked,in huge dilemma as if all the plans constructed require a major decisions in my life. Thank God, i managed to come up with plan penawar hati. Yet to be revealed. Hehe.

Like what my Abah said – “Jangan buang offer letter tu,keep it! Although takde rezeki this year. Anything can happen, who knows you still got the chance. Abah doakan…“

(seriously, my eyes burst into tears the moment i heard my Abah said this…)

Sydney,Down Under

Alright,here comes the initial part of our journey to Middle Earth. Our trip route began at  KLIA-Singapore-Adelaide-Sydney-Christchurch-Auckland-Singapore-KLIA.We had 4 hours transit at Changi Airport,Singapore before off to Sydney.Right before we reached Sydney, we actually had a quick 45 minutes transit at Adelaide (it was a quarantine actually).Since we had one day transit at Sydney before the next connecting flight to Christchurch,we decided to go out from the airport and checked out Sydney.A lotsa transits but ya know,it’s very worth it i guess. A trip that at the end brought more than one in return.Since we had a very limited time at Sydney and got nothing else to do, we decided to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.Not that this activity consume hours but also burn the money out of my pocket.Huhuhu! But the experience gained was totally a blast!Ok, enjoy the rest of the pics and stay tune for the Middle Earth. Later,peeps!

above pic : with Kak Nani, warden of Malaysian Hall Sydney.Nice lady! The first thing she asked when i stepped in to her office was “Fairuz, ekau tak bawak kuih rayo utk akak ke?” (org nogori rupenye..) And i simply answered “Backpackers mcm kami mane la bawak itu sume kak oiii,tak pesan awal2..saye tak bawak lerr.” LOLOL!!! And ya, we did this trip during Eid back in 2008.

we were lucky as the sky was sunny and bright that day. it was nearly end of spring that time.what a perfect weather to wander around Sydney.

and what a perfect time to enjoy ice cream…slurrrppp!!!

Kirah still managed to flirt with Mr. Tinman. She gave him a peck on the cheek and Mr. Tinman said “You’re naughty…” Haha!

Here we are…on the Harbour Bridge. Nice view of Sydney city at the back as it nearly approaching dusk. The climb took 3 hours to complete and from here, you can see the whole Sydney and the view was absolutely mesmerized.
