It's a boy !!!!!

I'm terribly excited, in case you can't tell. I'd had a dream shortly after we found out we were pregnant that we were at the doctor's for the ultrasound, and I'd seen quite clearly a little watchamacallit; I've been convinced since then that we would have a tiny belalai. It was amazing to have it confirmed -- so many emotions ran through me -- how will hubby be a father to a boy, how will he teach him to shave, will hubby need to learn about sports if he takes to them, the future mess...MESS!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!We got it on video...

No, we or I will insist in getting a decent name ... NO Javanese names puhleeeze! ending with an Al-Rashid.... definitely!!

Oh, did I mention -- it's a boy!!!!Woooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

A message from the Malaysians Association of Qatar.

I was shocked when I heard that he has passed away. I was really looking forward to see the family this coming Raya. Nevertheless it seems that God love him more than we do but I will never forget him as one of the most sincere hearted person ever in Malaysia. Abg Matt Doohan, you will always be remembered, thank you so much for all your advise and help.

Abang Mat or Mat Doohan (Orang Kuat Kuala Pilah!!) as we know him was our neighbour across the street. We first met in 2002 as neighbours in Saujana Impian Kajang. We were both first time house owners. Him and Kak Idah with Iqa and Farid was the most cheerful family ever. Abg Mat was the most 'ringan tulang' person I know, a Mr Do It All, does not interfere about matters that don't concern him and the best friend one could ever have. A Saint in our eyes.....

My condolences to the family and may his soul rest in peace

Goodbye Mat Doohan...

Best Nasi Kandar of Penang

After months of surfing the net, googling and trying to narrow down the best nasi kandar in Penang, we finally came to the conclusion that the 2 best Nasi Kandar is either Nasi Kandar Line Clear or Nasi Kandar Beratur.

Nasi Kandar Line Clear is located at the meeting point of Lebuh Chulia and Penang Road. Its not actually a shop but just under a makeshift roof by an alley that was used to be known as 'Lorong Taik' !!! Yucks!! It is open 24 hours and is busy 24 hours

Nasi Kandar Beratur is located right next to the famous Masjid Kapitan Kling. The main business starts at 10pm and according to 'hardcore' fans, the best is only if you eat after 2am!!! Bloody hell!! Nasi Kandar after 2am!!! Apa gila orang Penang nih!!

OK, did my survey, ate the same standard Nasi Kandar from both places. Nasi Kandar + Bendi + Ayam Goreng + Sotong + Kuah Campur ..... 3 Panel judges, me, hubby and my brother in-law BEAR who happens to be a Chef from Le Meridien Dubai.

And after piling ourselves with a gazillion calories and shorten our life by about 48 months, we have unanimously picked a winner.......& the winner is .............. LINE CLEAR !!!!

p.s. 1 advice... if you think you can't stand eating at a 'not so clean' place.... I have 1 word for you... TAPAU!!!!

Aaaaargghh!!!!!

Mak Suka Dia !!!!!!!!!!!

Psttttt.....

I have a secret!

I’m beginning to like Tomok in OIAM!!

I was never his fan...BUT....now I can't deny the improvement and talent the boy has shown the past few weeks.

Amazing how budak suara mengongoi can transform his persona into something close to being cool. I think with all the hype about transformation in AF7, they can learn one or two things from this boy!

P/s don’t breathe a word of this to anyone okay? I would die from embarrassment if anybody found out my latest obsession.

A plea to the politician!

I wanted to blog about this but kept on procrastinating...biasalah tu. Oh well, better late than never right!

Anyway, I thought this was a good article which best represent my feeling. Nevermind the fact that some people thought he was doing it to promote his business. The fact remains, few people would have done it. Its better to be seen doing something rather than just talk cocks in kedai kopi, under the tree, barking here and there, demo here and there but zero action. Kudos to you Anas Zubedy for taking the 1st bold step.

The author also has a blog that's worth visiting.


Published in The Star on 26 Feb 2009 by Anas Zubedy:

Dear Malaysian Politicians,

Please stop the power chase, call for a truce and focus on the economy.

I do not claim to speak on behalf of all Malaysians, but I have strong convictions that many share my sentiments.

Our concern today is not who rules the country or heads the state governments but the looming bad economy.

Whether Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat leads, it is meaningless if Malaysians have no job to go to, no money to pay rent and no means to put food on the table.

I am a business owner, like other business owners and managers of corporations I have a responsibility to ensure people under my care and payroll continue to have jobs and a decent income to take home. We work hard and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our nation not only survive this crisis but come out stronger and wiser. We need your help.

Let me explain. I am in the business of Training, Development and Consultancy and have 20 people in my team.

Saedah is 42. She keeps the office clean and helps organise the training rooms. She has four children and her husband is unemployed. She was first hired on a part time basis, because she is very hard working and has a great attitude, we offered her a full time job to help provide a stable income for her family. Even then, when her third child started school this year, it was a struggle for her to buy new school uniforms and other necessities. Saedah lives on a ‘kais bulan, makan bulan’ basis, so, if she is jobless, her tap runs dry.

Samsuri is 27 years old. He lives with his sister and her family in a low cost government flat in Sunway. He does our despatch, helps with various clerical works and occasionally acts as a driver. During the first week at zubedy, we learned that he not only did not have money to buy new clothes and shoes for work, he had no money for lunch. Like Saedah, if he has no job, his tap runs dry too.

Alicia in Client Servicing turns 26 this year. She lives with her dad who is 71 years old and retired. Her mom passed away when she was little. Alicia is a hard-working team member, has a gentle caring outlook and fun to be with. (We like to poke fun at her as she blushes easily). Last May her dad went through a major operation, thank God he has recovered well. Alicia needs a job, both for herself and her dad.

Sudesh, 38, is one of our facilitators. When his father passed away last year, he moved back and lives with his mother in Seremban. He shuttles between Kuala Lumpur and Seremban daily, leaving home sometimes as early as 4 in the morning and returning late at night. He is no stranger to hard work and sacrifice, he knows what he needs to do to survive and to care for his mother, but he too needs a job.

Like fellow Malaysians, every one of us in zubedy needs employment, those that live from hand to mouth like Saedah and Samsuri and others like Alicia and Sudesh with family to care for. We Malaysians need the Malaysian economy to be strong. We need you, our leaders, to work hard and to work together to make our economy viable.

So this is my plea.

Pakatan Rakyat, please stop your attempts to take over the federal government and persuade BN’s lawmakers to join you. Stop all legal proceedings, no more 916 and let go, just let go. The nation can wait till the next general elections if they want change. By doing so, Malaysians will see your party as caring, unselfish and gracious and give you their support in the next elections.

Barisan Nasional, please stop any attempts to take over PR states and win over PR’s lawmakers. You have proven your point with Perak. The nation can wait for the next general elections if they want your party. Focus all your talent, energy and hard work in steering the country out of an economic downturn. By doing so, Malaysians will see your party as caring, unselfish and smart and give you their support in the next elections.

BN and PR! Call for a truce. Get together and compromise. Someone has to give in. Or has hate consumed your heart till it blinds you? You can do it. You have enough intelligent people between you. I am sure you can find solutions. Take the nation to heart. That is why you are in politics in the first place.

Focus on the people.

Focus on the economy.
