Special Day Today

Assalamualaikum...

Before I further elaborate on the above topic... allow me to finish off what I left from my 2st blog entry 3 days ago....

Continue..... after almost 4 years getting married (to the same person, off course), we were blessed with a set of twin boys on 17 August 2007.... alhamdulillah... coincidently, that date is also my mom-in-law's birthday (and also one our aunty's birthday)... so, this year we anticipate a somewhat 'major' celebration on the 17th of August 2008...

The timing of the new arrivals could not be more 'perfect' coz on the same day, my owb brother was getting married in Terengganu... hence I did not get to attend the majlis in Tgg...

Now, the boys i.e. AFIQ HAZMAN n ADIB HAZIM are 7 months old and looking cuter ever since... fyi, both are non identical twins, so their look, perangai, likes and dislikes, even fav food are different........ afiq likes to watch Thomas n Frens while Adib loves ELMO n Frends... afiq likes yellow colour while adib's fav color is red (MU Supporter already??)....

WHat else... afiq likes to eat 'eastern' menu... i.e. banana, rice etc, while adib is a bit 'western' - cereal is among his fav...

Even so, there's always some thing in common that they like both, such as.... a good bath in the tub (with toys off course0, car ride, sitting in baby carrier while going shopping, a stroll in their stroller in the neighbourhood in the morning, football (well, generally both like the ball that we bought them but adib's enthusiasm on moving balls is greater than afiq)...

stop here for a while... let me take a deep breath while relaxing my fingers that have been typing crazily for the past 180 seconds......

...................................................................................................................................................................

ok.. back to today's topic... special day...

today 24/3 is a very special day to me and aishah.. why? if you really want to know the answer... please call me privately at 0193267403... will inform those who call me before 8.28 tomorrow morning... later than that, sorry... your queries will not be entertained...

today, after work, we had an early dinner at one of our fav restaurant in KLCC.... after a full-to-brim dinner, had a visit to M&S downstairs to survey something for this coming 3rd April 2008... what's happening on that day, u may ask... well, to know the answer, stay tune to my blog as I will reveal the answer as we move towards that date... scary for me actually...

to my amazement, I had a little present from her... one which I did not expect at all.. what a pleasant seprais .... i've been eyeing the thing but everytime had to contain myself from having is coz we are in quite a tight budget (result of our crave for travelling).... thank you, thank you and thank you very the very much my dear for the gift.. even though it was not wrapped, I really2 appreciate form the bottom of my heart...

oklah kot buat kali ini..lenguh dah tangan ni... tak boleh jadi typist aku ni...

till I find time to update this blog again... er, before I end this blog, cubalah renung2kan kata2 di bawah... semoga kita mendapat sesuatu daripadanya... wassalam..

Ada yang tertinggal
Setelah terbenam Mentari
Ada yang tertinggal
Setelah kering air di kali

Alam telah menyakinkan
Kau mesti pergi…
Kau mesti
Alam telah menyakinkan
Kau mesti kembali
Bagai yang telah dijanjikan Illahi

Ada yang tertinggal
Setelah musnah semua mimpi…

Kekal selamanya
Cintaku dengan cahaya mu
Kekal selamanya
Tetap dalam ingatanku

Lemas dalam rindu
Tenggelam dalam tangisan
Engkau telah pergi
Tapi masih ada…
Yang kau tinggalkan dalam kalbuku
Yang tinggal…

MY FIRST 'INDEPENDENT' BLOG

Assalamualaikum...

As the name suggests, this is truly my first 'independent' blog... meaning to say that this is the first time that I create my own blog outside Friendster...

I hope this is not the first and last time I blog on this blogspot and I intend to write as much as possible, if time permits that is..

OK, what do I want to talk in this 'dara' version of my blog? PERSONAL LIFE? FAMILY? WORK? FUTSAL? FOOTBALL? F1? After putting on my 'topi berfikir' (i.e. thinking cap), I decide to talk about My Family.. that is My OWN Family...

First, myself... born 3 April 1978 (almost hit 30 next month... eeriee!!!)... family of 6.. have an elder sister and 2 younger bros...

primary and secondary school in Taman Melawati (SRKTM and SMKTM respectively). Tertiary education in UTM, Skudai, Johor. 4 years. Degree in Civil Engineering.

Wife.... Noor Aishah Zaharin.... born 21 Oct 1980 (not yet 28 though)... also used to live in the same taman as me... primary and secondary schools same with me, but decided to join SM Sains Selangor in Cheras for F4 and F5. Went to UTM (I was her senior OK), met me there. Rest is history.

Got maried 31 May 03. I quit my job 3 weeks after getting married. Decided to pursue post graduates studies in Sydney, Australia. Different course, different faculties, same university and same sponsor i.e. MARA (a big thank to Majlis Amanah Rakyat for sponsoring us - we are active payers of our MARA loans),

27 July 2003 - arrived in chilly winter in Sydney on my father's 58th birthday. Still remembered this date exactly as it's the day when I arrived Down Under together with someone I love.

To cut things short, spent the whole 1 year in Australia (except the 2 months summer break in Dec03 - Jan04). Came back to Malaysia in Ausgust 04 with Masters in Construction Management and Masters in Civil Engineering respectively.

After endless job hunting exercise, managed to join PETRONAS after 3 months jobless. Until now. (I am a loyal employee, you know). As for my wife, she joined Boustead Holding on contract basis after approx 6 months jobless, then when she's about to be confirmed, received an offer not to be missed... to serve the Government of Malaysia... now in JPS.... and working hard as always... (probably need to refine this statement my dear?)...

I think that should be enough for the time being.. for those who reads this blog, thanks for your time... i'll update more on myself and my family in my next blog.. stay tuned...

wassalam..
