What do u wanna be?

I read an article from one of the newsletters at the internet just now..it says..most of us do not know what we wanna be when we grow up...it is really true...i can't remember when i really had a serious thought on a real sensible job on my mind..but for the new generation 's sake, we have to change this mindset. we must always encourage our kids to have one ambition that can motivate them to soar even further..when i left university, all i wanna do were i wanna work and earn money..not so much say what i wanna be..when people posed simple question what you wanna be in the next 5 years, all i did.. just smile..hem..it happenned to all of us..we have to change this..we have to put in our kids' minds that it is okay to be somebody..even minister one day.. and we older generation must not look down on them when they say they wanna be MD/CEO one day..we must support and let these young kids see the bright side of their dreams..Malaysia Boleh!!

Love, Irryn.

Domestic Helper

At last, thank God that i've found one domestic helper. Really hope that this time around, this pembantu of mine will be a good one. Who can take care of kids while i am not around and can take care the household chores which i normally dismay.

Talking about domestic helpers especially from Indonesia, we must have lots of patience dealing with them. They are also human. Wonder why those people whom i read from the newspaper abused their maids. Really hope that all Malaysian employers who are now using expatriates' services as maids..be extra careful in handling them. They can turn out to be quite rude & rough so be careful in our daily conversation with them. Make sure they understand what you are saying and just take a deep breath when they don't get what we meant. Whatever it is, praying to God that my domestic helper from Semarang will behave nicely and take care of my kids with tender loving care.

Missing my former pembantu from Palembang and hate my former pembantu from Lombok. Ish, afetr all we are all human..let's work things together nicely.

I agree with our Minister Sharizad Jalil's move to further enhance the entrance of maids to Malaysia and ensuring they possess the right skills & knowledge before they work as domestic helpers in our country.

Malaysia Boleh!!!

Alone in KL

I'm at KLIA..alone while waiting for boarding time to JB @ 9.20 pm. Completed my course on ODS level 2 at PERMATA Bangi @ 5.00 pm. The subject/class was quite dry..nearly doze off during the lecture. too tired i guess..2 days away from hubby & kids..missing them so much but at the same time, it is quite worthwhile that I can spend my hours alone without anybody around..but too bad..i am on heavy headache..it was like when i was in university..often attacked by migrain..now i am back with one..maybe due to pregnancy..too scared to consume paracetamol and to bear it with lots of patience is the best medicine that i have for myself..
Alone..talking about being alone..teringat that one of training participants from PETRONAS mentioned that man prefers to have time alone, time with friends and time with family..but he added that woman need not to worry when man spend time alone but be worry when he spends time with friends because these bunch of men can do wonderfuls (too many brains i guess..)...mmmmhem..ladies..we have to be on guard when hubby out with friends arh...
I also agreed with him that quite man is more capable to do wonderful things compared to gila-gila guys..true enuf as i have experienced it once..my ex boyfriend, known as pijak gajah tak mati...got himself in love triangle with janda while we were together..worse still was..the janda is my good friend..luckily God loves me..i got the signs & left them..i am married to wonderful hubby while they were separated..that lady is now married to other man while ex is still loofing around without partner (that's what i heard, not that i know that he has partner now)..retribution...you'll get back what you have given to others..
Anyway I am blessed and praying hard that i will always be blessed by God.

Open House everywhere..

Open houses everywhere...Some says Raya Gathering, others say Open House/Table..whatever it is..the topic would definitely falls back to the food..Raya food..ketupat nasi, rendang, peanut sauce plus sate and many more..

(droping saliva..slurp..) but of course the best avenue to visit each other..i wonder whether we'll visit each other if we do not have this kind of tradition...na..no..everybody is busy so Raya is the best time to vsit one another..hope others agree with me..

Last nite, I attended the opening ceremony of my brother in law's office & Tahlil plus Raya Gathering..HR Raya Gathering at office..tonite, another invitation which i got to turn down..too tired..pity the kids..their sleeping pattern will be distrupted..

Tomorrow i think i will go to my Boss's open house only..i gotta turn down the other one..(sorry Kak Siti, will go yours next year).

On Sunday..Kak Zehan's house? still thinking whether wanna go or otherwise.

We'll see..Anyway, thanks to all for inviting me to your lovely open houses..really appreciate it and i am blessed with lots of good friends..thank you guys..

May our Friendship last forever..

To Rosni, wish you all thest fro your engagement to Faizal on this coming Sunday at Temorloh..drive safely dear..

First song dedication

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMcOast2WUQ

It was way back in 1992..

I got this song dedication from my secret admirer whom at last revealed himself through song dedication at Radio Ria Singapura.

Just to reminisce..his name, Faizal from class next door..hi faizal, how are you..wonder how's your life hah..how many kids in tow?..

Anyway..this song really touched my heart and still do..

Well..nothing's happen after the song dedication. at that tender age, i have no feeling for boys..yet..we were never an item back then..he became my good friend in the end..he's too matured i guess though we are of same age..

Here is the touching lyric of the song..by Red Hot Chillie Pepper..

UNDER THE BRIDGE

Sometimes I feel Like I don’t have a partner
Sometimes I feel Like my only friend

Is the city I live in The city of angel

Lonely as I am Together we cry

I drive on her streets cause shes my companion

I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am

She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy

I never worry Now that is a lie

I don’t ever want to feel Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love Take me all the way

Its hard to believe That theres nobody out there

Its hard to believe That I'm all alone

At least I have her love The city she loves me

Lonely as I am Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtownIs where I drew some blood

Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough

Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love

Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away

Love, Irryn.

Impian

It has been quite a while since my last update. I am at home all day..didn't go to work..i got terrible and heavy headache..thought of taking panadol but too scared to do so, since i am still in my early pregnancy. Just now, Kak Yong (biras) stopped by our house. She brought pisang goreng tanduk..not sure whether she did on her own or her maid did..well, doesn't matter..we had quite a long conversation over our tea session..(didn't serve her warm tea but camomile tea from Yeos..hehe).

We talked about her plan to go for hajj..umrah..new house and our other biras, nadia who is about to due in another few weeks..argh..she also mentioned that most of her friends, engineers from Titan are now in Arab Saudi..they resigned from Titan & currently working in one of the plants over there..well..people have moved on..explore new things while we are still here..sometime i wonder...would there be such an opportunity for me?..what is my plan for the future?..besides being wife and mother? do i have to sit still..working for others for the rest of my life...i read a lot of magazines recently and most of the stories are about women in businesses..i did ask myself..do i want to venture into business? what kind of busines?

..argh..i still have one dream that i wanna fulfil before i die..that is to further my study..i wanna do Masters..i am in a dire state to go for overseas university..i would direct my search to any external universities everytime i log on to internet...last time i used to log on to brad pitt's and angelina's but now..my priority has changed..My biras is leaving for UK next year for masters in finance. I am all green with jeolousy...anyway she deserved it..she's a smart lady..look up on her...wish her all the bests..

for a lady like me..i might have to resign to my destiny..continue my study locally..heard that Hizam is doing Masters at Uitm and Irwan is taking Accounting professional course..argh..i adore these people who dare to challenge themselves despite heavy workload/ commitments. To me pursuing for Master is not about to show others that you are more capable..but it is more to self satisfaction..those taking Masters must have this kind of feeling which i understand 100%..well..guys..pray for me..hopefully i can pursue my dream soon..people say you can do later..and some say..you have to do it now or never..still confused but i would say..my dream sticks..and i hope God will help me to turn my dream into reality..

I always get emotional when talking about education..this time i wanna do better..no more study for exam but really embrace into it..Semoga ALLAh memberkati impian ini..

Love, Irryn.

Salam Aidilfitri semua..

This year our family celebrated our first hari raya at Taman Mawar together with ayah & aunty..thought of visiting Gelang Patah & headed to Muar but all of our plans didn't turn out to our favour..

First, ayah was on high fever and secondly, my neighbour..Pak Ngah passed away..

Now, i am at home..since his family is so near to us. we decided to stay back and do whatever we can to help his family..in term of food preparation for tahlil tonight and and of course space of our home for the visitors..

Hubby still asking whether we can go to Muar..i told him it is not appropriate to do so since we are the late Pak Ngah's close neighbour..we should stay..and we are staying home..for raya..maybe we'll back on raya track tomorrow..to gelang patah, kota tinggi and perhaps Muar if time permits..

but before that i would like to share our first raya despite of ayah's condition...we brought alif to Kuala Masai (hubby's nenek house) and jalan2 ke rumah baru along and back to Kulai before we headed back to Nusa Damai..

Here are some photos taken for memories

we stopped by at Along's new haouse at Seri Alam..big bungalow at Country Residency..it has 7 bedrooms and I've booked one room for weekend stay..hahah..

another front view

this year, we are all very excited with Along's new car..BMW 6 series..

More family photos will be uploaded soon as camera is currently with hubby..kat mane dia eh..kat rumah jiran sebelah kot...

Love, Irryn.

Haziq was hospitalised for almost 1 week in early August 2009. He was attacked with complex seizure and we quickly took him to Hospital Penawar which refered us to Hospital Sultan Ismail. All the staff including the doctors were very nice. The facilities are all new and we were so comfortable over there. I met one friend by the name of Yoke Ling and she introduced me to one supplement product called E.Excel. Both Hasya & Haziq have been taking the products for the past 1.5 months. Since then, health is improving. InsyaAllah, hopefully they will be okay forever.

Along the H1N1 outbreak at the hospital

Along is now taking inhaler for his asthma

First day in hospital - bad mood

second day onward - sleeping all the time, too tired being dosed by various antibiotic

Lemah...sayang Along..

Love, Irryn.

Apakah kita Islam sejati?

OMG! i was shocked but still managed to read thru the article on Malek Noor at Harian Metro Online just now. Sedih and my tears not only goes to him but to myself as well. Before i came across the article on Malek, i did a little research on yusuf islam..just for knowledge..ever since he embraced Islam, he has found the true meaning of life. i wish i can be strong like him.

Betapa lama kita lalai selama ini dengan urusan duniawi semata-mata hingga lupa, lupa segala ketidakcukupan adalah berpunca dr diri sendiri..bak kata Malek Noor, Allah akan beri pada hambaNya yg tak berputus asa..Ya Allah, terimalah taubatku...Amin..

Little Hasya

as usual, she hates taking picture..but anyway, got first place, you go girl!

For the very first time i've realised that Hasya has this super power like other kids as well..i thought she only know how to cry plus loud screaming..but she also has this ability to be a champion...She took part in yesterdays' event (Sports Day) in perah sponge for the most water filled in the glass. She got first place..proud of her....

Love, Irryn.

Yahoo..On Annual Leave!!!
