and love the song also..actually lagu ini adalah OST Butterfly, sebuah filem Indonesia. Tapi halwa telinga aku rasa sesuai je lagu ni untuk drama dejavu di kinabalu..harap ending dia tak mengecewakan, bukan apa karya erma fatimah ni ending dia selalu bg aku hampa, tergantung pun ye..biasa la cerita cinta, mengharapkan fairytale..baru puas hati..suka betul tengok aqasha dan tiz..pandai menghayati watak..yg lain pun berlakon best..

Selalunya balik kerja tak sempat tengok..tp nasib baik ada TONTON..hubby plk dah pasang unifi, lg la laju..tak de buffer langsung..one thing yg best tengok kat TONTON ni sebab tak ada iklan..kalau nak marathon pun ok..plan weekend ni nak marathon cerita Ameera plk..ops!! tak boleh sebab nak balik kampung husbby, mak mentua nak buat kenduri tahlil sekali gus menyambut ramadhan..saya ditugaskan memasak daging masah hitam dan hubby masak nasi minyak. Husband aku request aku masak ayam dgn mayonais, tengok la nanti mcm mana..kena dgr jgk pendapat yg lain2 kat rmh tu..

Ok la, got to go, have a good weekend...

Short Holiday@Mabul

Assalammualaikum,

Recently, I went to Mabul Island. It was a very short trip and was not planned. The earlier plan was actually a trip to Tawau (according to my husband, Tawau is the only city in the world with only 2 letters...Ta and Wau) but everyone would say its not worth to visit Tawau if you miss Mabul or Sipadan Island. So, we all decided to go there although one of my friend, Khairul reluctant to go due to safety reason. Three of us are from Kuala Lumpur and one of our friend will joint us in Tawau.

Our flight scheduled is at 6.45 p.m. from LCCT on 1st June 2012 (Friday). So, I and Umi planned to take  bus from KL Sentral to LCCT. After meeting Khairul at LCCT and checked in, we dined at Mary Brown while waiting  boarding. We were excited talking about the trip until we notice that we only have 15 minutes to board the plane. As lightning, we ran to the boarding area but the plane has departed. I was so shocked and having somekind of feeling...sad and funny at the same time and this is my first experience after so many times flying. Khairul was faceless and very cool and Umi look so normal and she said that missed flight is very common to her.  

The holiday mood is still burning inside us and we decided to get another flight to Tawau. However, the earliest flight to Tawau is at 7.00 a.m. next day. Since our holiday has already started, it will not be cool to return home (actually we dont want to be a laughing stock). At first, we checked the Tune Hotel but the price was crazy..for 2 small rooms exclude towels and aircond is over RM400. So, we settled at Pan Pacific KLIA which is cost us more a less a same as Tune Hotel. After having dinner at KLIA we straight went to bed as we have booked the earliest shuttle to LCCT at 5.00 a.m.....the charge is RM10 per pax.

The next morning after checked in we were the earliest passenger at the boarding area...hehehe. Flight to Tawau took about 2 hours 50 minutes. We reached Tawau around 10.00 a.m. We met Kamal at the airport and transported to Semporna by my husband schoolmate, Hj Hussin who was waiting for us at the airport too. We have arranged our accomodation at Mabul Island with local resident, Panglima Mabul, Hj Yusof. We reached Semporna around 11.20 but waited until 2.00 p.m. for spring tides. The journey to Mabul Island took about 45 minutes by speedboat (We have to cancel our trip to Sipadan due to time constraint).

That night Mabul was hit by a storm..I slept early that night but Umi woke me up at 3.00 a.m. and I saw heavy tides outside my window. I continued sleeping and the next morning I was told that some chalets was flooded and the guests were evacuated. One of the chalet, Uncle Chang was badly flooded and their guest came to our chalet for shelter. I thought the storm was normal at Mabul Island but according to the villagers, it was not occurred for the last 40 years. Alhamdulillah nothing happened to our chalet or otherwise this trip will be full of unwanted stories to tell. 

The next morning after breakfast we went back to Semporna and thereafter to Tawau by taxi. We reached Tawau around noon and fly back to Kuala Lumpur at 7.00 p.m. The trip was short and full of adrenalin but it was worth going and I intend to go there again maybe I bring my family..

Marche - Tak berbaloi dgn apa yg kita byr

Assalammualaikum,

Somewhere in April 2012, my sister, Waty had treated my another sister's family and us dinner...we had decided to meet at Curve and end up dining at Marche.  At the time my sister mentioned Marche, my husband face turn sour and suggested not to joint them and dine somewhere else but with unfairly discussion with him we joint my 2 sisters.

The place is quite crowded when we were there and peoples queuing to order and collect their foods.  The place is very warm, stuffy and hectic. Everything is self service and it was very troublesome to dine there if with families. I really do not know the concept of the restaurant as for me it was very unpleasant place to dine in. 
  
I was puzzled in choosing the foods coz it was too expensive and I setlled for chicken chop and lamb chop for Soraya. The chicken and lamb were grill in large quantity together with sausage, seafood and other things and the taste is just okay same standard like my place night market's grill chicken. My husband had a potato risola which according to him.....boleh la.

But for all you know, our bills was over RM300.  To my surprise, the foods we had are not lavish and not everyone were taking main course meals. For that price, we could have a very good and pleasant dinner else where. 

So, I guess this restaurant is copied from some European country food market. I dont know about other customers but in my sincere opinion, I regret for having dinner there.  















Anyway, thanks to waty belanja makan mlm tu. lain kali kita g mkn tempat lain plk ye..semuga dimurahklan rezeki dan dieprmudahkan segala urusan..

Hectic week

Assalammualaikum,

Its already June, time flew so fast...this week was a very tired week started from the very 1st of the month my day was occupied doing processing Felda IPO financing for MITI offer.  For your information, this Felda IPO is the 2nd largest in the world after Facebook. 

Unfortunately, the deadline is during the school holiday which most of my colleagues were on leave. The work overloaded due to inadequate manpower, huhuhu... today I miss my breakfast, lunch and taking a very late dinner. I only had 4 pieces of biscuits and 2 cups coffee since this morning and was working until late night for the past one week. I sincerely wish this counter will fetch a good premium on the listing day and all the investors will gain a good return as the interest charged on the financing by my office is very high compared to other commercial bank and furthermore, most  the applicants are Bumiputra.

However, in the middle of the hectic week, I managed to escape to an island with few friends. I was not able to cancel my leave as the flight ticket was pre-book.  The trip is actually went through not according to plan and many unexpected things happened but it was very enjoyable and memorable event.  I will feed the details later and better called the day off....goodnight .....z z z z z z z z z z z z z
