FFL (friends for life?)

well, thanks a bunch guys
i was not in the frame...pfffttt
but then again, fortunately i was not in it cause then people are going to start comparing our sizes
bib and su will always be the XS, fiza (M?), and i'll be the XL (ok, super long sigh!)

actually, husband's going to pick me up late, hence this post came out of the blue
as you can see, i don't usually talks about friendship here
so, just let me do the introduction of who are these beautiful people

from left, she's bib
we're off the same age
and she's totally in love with disney princesses and girly stuffs
you guys should see her previous workplace
it was so full with  those tiny miny little princess stickers all over her desk
yeah, i know, what kind of 30 years old who still loves disney princess?
haha
but i'm warning you, you probably don't want to mess with her
she can be a hard-cold sometimes
at the moment, she's still single, but not for long
her big day is just around the corner...like another 2 weeks away
gulp! as a good friend, my advice to you please please enjoy that single-hood moment
live it to the fullest cause after this everything is going to be shared
which is a good thing, right?
yikes--

the middle one, that's fiza
same age with two kids
she's like the sporty one among us four
lawn ball, netball, and petanque are all her specialties
but she's also the most tired people in the world!
how come?
because she needs to wake up really early
everyday, she will made delicious sandwiches and bring it to the office
and not for free!
duh--
and she's also good at making cupcakes ^^

last but not least, there is suhana
a year younger than us three
she called fiza 'kakak', but me and bib just by our name
why aahh? so rude! hahaha
this girl really loves online shopping (still kan?) and always seek the advice from this master of online shopping herself
ok, that would be me *facepalm*
last time i checked, she's into vintage but then after she's married, she's more into muslimah fashion? ke?
erkk NOT!

oh by the way, suhana and fiza are family related since their husband are cousins
you know what freaks me out? both husbands actually sounds the same... i mean their voices
the first time i talk to ben (fiza's spouse) i thought i was speaking with salih (suhana's husband)
giler ah--

well, here goes to you ladies
may we still be that shoulders to cry on in 30 years to come, if God's willing
may we share our voices that constantly remind each other of do's and dont's

and may we enjoy every laughter together often 

and oh yeah, and may our 'little businesses' that we are doing right now blossoms and expands

'here's to the nights that turned into mornings with the friends that turned into family'

being 30

so the day has arrived and passed
it was last friday
the day of me, being 30

people said 'age is just a number'
people also said 'growing old is mandatory, while growing up is optional'
but i don't want to be a grown woman but with a behavior of a child
maybe, all i want is this...at the moment!

 happy 30th birthday to me!

between Baldi, Barbie and Benang

ok, what's up with all these Bs?
haha--

well, how many times have you heard people mention that 'the kids always say the darndest things!'?
errr...they will not always say the darndest thing, mind you,
but most of the time, there will be some funny new words coming out from their tiny mouth
be a parent, you are privilege to get to across that situation once in awhile
this is what happens to me too, with najah actually
and of course, we have a good laugh every time she spilled out the words
as for nadeem, he is gradually improving on his daily simple vocab in order to catch up with his big sister
so, mama is still waiting for that moment!

here goes--

B for Baldi

najah has some difficulty pronouncing the word 'baldi'
guess what always coming out from her?

Blaaa-di!

i think if other people heard her saying that, they might think that she's swearing some bad word
bloody? blaa-di?
cringe--

B for Barbie

here's another B
hrmmm, on this one,  i don't get it why she has a tough time to say the word Barbie because she always mention it as

Braaa-bie!

why? why? is it that you want to wear a bra so soon girl? duh--
tsk...tsk....

B for Menang

yep, i wrote that right
B for menang

practically, her 'menang' is always 'benang'
like

'yeay, najah benang, daddy kalah!'
'mama, tadi najah benang hadiah kat school!'

trust me, you guys have no idea how many times have we corrected her 'benang' to 'menang'
cry me a river--

so, that's all for now
as i'm writing this, i've got an idea that maybe i should write a column post like 'Nonsensical Words Najah Says' or 'Najah & Nadeem Vocabs of the Day' or whatnot
until then, i'm hoping that she won't learn these so-called 'words' before she's totally grown up

상속자들 - The Heirs

with lee minho's new project coming out soon (this coming wednesday to be exact!),
my october has become more and more anticipating
shit, enough with this all october thing-y please will you?
hahaha sorry

but hey, i really like his acting
well, apart from his tall figure and the face!
and he does proves himself that he can be much better actor over the years
if you don't believe me, get yourself to watch Boys over Flowers first, which by the way is my least favourite drama of him, and after that go and watch City Hunter or Faith
THEN, you'll know--

in The Heirs he will be pairing with Park Shin Hye, of which the chemistry i really don't get to see between them...yet
yeah, i'm pretty much in doubt state

but let's just hope for the best!^^

the story revolves around a very super rich kids (seriously, they are many chaebols in this drama) who are going to inherit their super enormous family business
and of course, there is our poor girl (damsel in distress?) who get caught up between these rich people
i know, cliche right?
heck, isn't that's the kind of element that we are looking for by watching korean dramas?
too many nonsensical drama...hihi

anyway, below is the 14 minutes and 20 seconds long trailer of the drama
and you know what, i watched it without subtitles
giler--
but luckily, i've taken a basic korean language before, so i think i understand half of their conversation
gah, dream on!
not even close to half...not even close

hey october!

you are like my most anticipated month of the year
not just for any particular year
but yeah, it has always been like that every year
haha

but of course this time it's different
different with a special cause
different with a much more meaningful expectation
different because of these numbers
3 and 0

i am never a dreamer kind of girl
dream big is always not my kind of thing
or, how should i put it?
i'm more like a 'go-with-the-flow' type
whatever happens, happen
and i don't regret even if the choice i make, made a wrong turn

but somehow, when you reach at this point of age
you do want to do something
and you want to do something big
not big enough for some people, but it is for me though
wink~

well, there are two BIG things that have been going through my mind lately
and i would like to put a two years frame in order to achieve the 'things'
insya-Allah, God's willing

but for now, these bunch of people are my soul, my source of happiness
my october!

 

and my happiness level will surely doubled-up if i can have one these things on errr...

'What Jaja Wants On Her 30th Birthday' list

and one only can hope that 'that someone' can read this, hehe~

the time of my life

sad isn't it?
the only reason of why i'm here today is for a book review
-___-
but, oh well
it is not exactly a review but just how i felt after reading this one

this morning i posted this on my instagram and fb
it is taken from the last paragraph of Cecelia Ahern's, The Time of my Life

life... is just and ordinary plain little word
but of course, it has much more deeper meaning
much more different views from any one of us

how's life affected me so far?
i will hit 30 soon
being married at 25, and blessed with a good understanding husband and 2 beautiful child,
how come i'm not proud of what my life has brought me so far
i'm proud, very...

i have a degree
i have a job (not really happy with the salary, but still i love the job! Alhamdulillah...)
i rant on the job frequently, but who doesn't?
i am surrounded with a good bunch of friends and respected colleagues
and of course, a family who always had my back, who always be there for me

but do i want more with my life?
heck, sure i do
just like everyone else, like every other human beings on this planet
i want to travel more
i want to read books more
i want a 5 figures on my paycheck
i want to give more for my childs
i want a new sets of pretty clothes
conventionally, we just want more of everything in our life
but with only a husband i hope... haha

at times there will be hiccups, boundaries, and or we're facing a big hole with no bridge for us to cross over
at times there will be happiness, laughter, and just smiles on our faces

but, all i want is to be forever grateful and contented with my life
bravely endure with every hardships
and embrace with every comforts and blessings from the One
