BlackBerry Torch 9860 for only RM88?

You know, before using iPhone, I was actually eyeing for a BlackBerry. BlackBerry Bold, to be precise. My dad and my sister were using it and I thought it looked pro – like a businessman or something. If it wasn’t for my husband, I think I would have been a BlackBerry user!
Anyways, I was surprised to find out that the new BlackBerry Torch 9860 comes with a touch screen. Atau memang before this dah ada BlackBerry with touch screen; aku jer yang tak tahu? ;p

FYI, Celcom will be the FIRST AND ONLY telco in Malaysia to introduce the new BlackBerry Torch 9860. So BlackBerry lovers, listen up!

20 of you lucky customers at the launching event will be selected to get the BlackBerry Torch 9860 for only RM88!!! Murah gilaaa weh! I want one too la like that!

Food poisoning – a nasty business!

My husband, my baby and I haven’t been in the pinkest of health these past few days. We were down with food poisoning – it was our first time kena food poisoning. Well at least me and Raina were; my husband was infected by me.

It started last Thursday. I was too tired to cook, plus, we haven’t grocery shopped ever since balik kampung for Raya so I told my husband to tapau lunch from Ani Sup Utara. Raina ate about 4-5 suap; I ate the rest (tried to feed Ayra but she didn’t want to eat rice - thank God!).
At around 6pm, I started to feel queasy. I thought it was because I had late lunch, perut dah masuk angin ke apa so I just ignored it as I was getting ready for an event that I have to attend that night. At 6.30pm, I threw up and had diarrhea. I still insisted to go to the event because I thought I felt better after throwing and dumping all the toxins from my body. Then I threw up again in the car, followed by abdominal cramps. My husband wanted to take me to see the doctor but I refused because I felt so weak and hungry, I wanted to eat something first.
The next thing I know, I was at my parents-in-law’s house, muntah-muntah and cirit-birit berselang-seli for like every 10 minutes. I was EXTREMELY WEAK! I threw up just about everything in my stomach sampai muntah jadi rasa pahit and keluar cecair kuning sebab dah tak ada apa nak dimuntahkan. I was literally on bended knees, hugging the toilet bowl. Sampai ada at one time, I threw up and cirit serentak! Tuhan saja yang tahu sakit sangat rasanya. Nak nangis! I really thought I was dying.

Then my mother-in-law told us Raina pulak muntah. That was when we decided to go see the doctor (Raina threw up 3 more times by the time sampai clinic). I was literally drenched in her vomit but I didn’t care anymore.
The doctor gave me an injection because I threw up more than 10 times already (I threw up for the 14th time at the clinic by the way). As for Raina, the doctor gave medicine rectally (through her rectum). I was extremely weak and hungry but I didn’t eat anything except for half glass of Herbalife shake, 1/4 cup of yogurt and 3 spoons of porridge. Tak selera nak makan langsung; makan sikit muntah. I even lost 3kg (but I’ve gained back 2kg. Cepat betul ;p)! Malam tu, my husband pulak muntah-muntah and cirit-birit. Turns out, he was infected because he shared my porridge spoon.
Alhamdulillah, we’re a lot better now.
From now on, no more Ani Sup Utara!

A visit to a charity home

We had the opportunity to have buka puasa at a charity home – Rumah Amal Kasih Bestari (RAKB) – courtesy of Mamee, on one of the last few days of Ramadhan. Just so you know, Mamee has been around for 40 years and their products are all trusted halal. It’s even listed in JAKIM’s page.

Anyway, RAKB is a single storey bungalow, situated at Kampung Melayu Subang in Shah Alam. There are 20 primary school students under the age of 12 who are not only anak-anak yatim, but also fakir miskin & asnaf zakat as well. It was my very first time visiting a charity home!
Buka puasa menu:
Nasi lemak, ayam goreng, nuggets, kuih-muih and some fruits
The kids are all so well-disciplined. They lined up to get their food, baca doa makan and duduk atas lantai makan sama-sama. It kinda reminded me of a Summer Camp that I went to, more than a decade ago.
Mereka berbuka makan buah dan kuih sikit, then they performed the Maghrib prayer secara berjemaah. Lepas tu baru makan yang berat. Bagus kan?
Spot Ayra (she’s not wearing telekung)
One of the teachers told us that kalau bulan puasa, rezeki budak-budak tu murah. A lot of people came to give food and money to them almost every day. Tapi bulan tak puasa, jarang sangat. Sometimes the kids only ate eggs sebab tak cukup makanan. Sedih dengar.

Forgot this baby’s name already but he’s the youngest fella there.
Only 9 months old (Ayra & Raina jealous tengok mama dia dukung baby lain!)
The highlight of the night was the appearance of Mamee Monster!


The kids were excited to see the monster – peluk apa bagai with him (but not my girls. They were afraid of him!).

Each one of them received a Mamee goodie bag and duit Raya RM20! It was so thoughtful of Mamee, really. You can see how happy the kids were.

Aww… Salam cium tangan monster.


Ayra made some friends too. Then later, she refused to go back.
Menangis tak nak balik!
Anyway, RAKB still needs some help to improve the lives of the less fortunate kids as well as their facilities. It could be in any form – money, food, clothes, toys, etc. If you want to make a donation to RAKB, you can send a cheque or cash to their CIMB account:
1226 0000135 104
Pusat Jagaan Kasih Bestari
Or you can contact the management of RAKB at kasihbestari@yahoo.com.
Again, I would like to thank Mamee for this opportunity!

Raya 2011 in Alor Setar

Ahhh… I can finally update my blog!

We went balik kampung Kedah for almost a week, hence the lack of updates. But I’m gonna make it up to you guys by posting lots of Raya pics ok!
We went to Istana Kedah on the first day of Raya. It was my first time entering a palace so I was a bit jakun. It was HEE-UGEE! I wonder how many rooms are there…and the walk-in wardrobes…

Kaum kerabat all queuing up nak salam and menghadap Sultan
(and nak duit raya ;p)

Us in blue

I actually told my tailor for a light pink lace and beading details
but she forgot and made silver + black instead. Pfft.
The queue was too long and what with the two tak-boleh-duduk-diam kids, we decided to fill our rumbling tummies instead. My God, the food was awesome. Semua sedap! There were the usual nasi himpit, ketupat, lemang, kuah kacang, lontong, rendang, kuih-kuih Raya and also mee rebus and lasagna! I have never eaten lasagna on Raya before (have you?).




Siapa salam Sultan Kedah dapat duit raya






Here’s our few attempts to take family photos. The girls tak boleh duduk diam, especially si kenit Raina!









Hubby’s cousin and my sister-in-law



Balik time


There are giant cactus outside the palace

At hubby’s grandpa’s house with his aunts and cousins

My cutie pies in baju kurung

Raya second day. I’m most comfortable in normal baju kurung!

Bestnya… empuk!

Main bunga api


Something terrible happened to Raina. Dahi dia terkena bunga api and it was all my fault! Benci bila ingat balik. I didn’t want to snap a pic of her face sebab sangat kesian dan sedih dan ngeri. I hope it won’t leave a scar :( It was a minor burn tho and she’s recovering now.
Anyway, I hope it’s not too late to wish all my Muslim friends and readers selamat hari raya. Do forgive me for all of my wrongdoings whether intentionally or not. And wherever you are, whatever you do, please be safe!
p/s: Kat KL belum raya lagi…

Totes & Purses for Lil Girls

Little girls love copying what their mommies do and wear – from performing solat to wearing mom’s handbags. It’s so darn cute!


It’s great there are bags just for little girls (sorry sayangs, you can only borrow my bags when you’re at least hmm….20. Ok fine, 18). I’m loving these bags from Pumpkin Patch and Gymboree, especially the black Kitty purse.

Thinking of getting it for Ayra. She loves cats. It’d be purr-fect for her.
Boleh isi duit raya!
