Quote for friday

Failure is a stepping-stone to greatness...

Today's Quote

The art of acceptance is
the art of making someone who
has just done you a small favor
wish that he might have done you a greater one.

Anybody would like to elaborate on that??

Quotes for today

I'm sensing of giving my blog readers "a quote a day".... here it is...

When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,'
I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'

another good one...

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way

more to share

One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears--by listening to them.

Allah panjangkan umur Mak... 11/4

Assalamualaikum,
Yesterday was Mak's birthday.... her birthday of 75! Alhamdulillah, she is fine... still....with good health, good mind, good vision, good memory ...

I gave her a pair of heel sandal, she was happy. Tried so hard to persuade her to wear the sandal yersterday night. Actually we (the whole family) planned a surprise party ( i would say majlis la) for her yesterday night, at Famosa House in Bandar Baru Bangi.

I think I should be given the best actress for this "conspiracy".... I have to act like nothing will happen on that day... even more I planned to visit Ibu in Seremban... Along has to trick Mak, to come to her house in the evening, then everybody gathered at Famosa House at 8.30 and Mak was the last to come...

Mak with her puzzled face, dok tanya... napa gelap ni Noshi (my Along)... when she reached the last step...

"Allah selamatkan kamu... Allah selamatkan kamu... Allah selamatkan Mak & Nenek tersayang... Allah selamatkan kamu.." everybody sang and the lights all switched on.

Mak hugged Along tightly and macam biasa la... she cried and cried... then everybody salam Mak @ Nenek...

The Majlis began, everybody was enjoying the food... suddenly my Baby Naufal.. started to cry. Mula2 tu sikit lama2 even louder!!

I tried to calm him down more than 1/2 hour, he didn't stop. So I asked Abang to go home... I grabbed the "bag susu", stepping down the stairs and straight to my car without excusing myself from the Majlis. I couldn't think of anything else, just Baby Naufal... napa la nangis teruk sgt ni??....

Dalam kereta dia senyap.. sampai rumah pun dia ok... Sabar je la!!!

I remembered Nabil was still at the Majlis... sian anak aku!!! I called Alang, asked her who would bring my son home?... Ok lah.. Angah wanted to "singgah" at my house, brought Mak & Nabil (with my maid) back.

That's it!...

So called CUPID

I have a "sister" now living in UK, with her family, doing MBA (Master Bela Anak), her husband is doing PhD (real one aaa). She has 4 daughters (hoping so hard to have at least a son...hehe).

I met her virtually in 2002, in a very "secret" chatting platform. Those days was my Dark Ages until I met my husband, Abang.

"Kak N***" was then the popular "icon" in the chatroom. When she entered the "room", everybody will greet her warmly. She, with her motherly and sisterly character will be quickly adored by anybody who is new to the room, one of them was me. I really liked having conversation with her secretly (Private Message maa), just 2 of us. Dok gossip macam2... dok kenen kan aku ngan Abang la.. ngan Iz*** la... hehehe (wondering where he is now... still being a pilot?)

It started when I (dgn beraninya..) solicited her about Abang, (just before I went to Ibadah Camp 2002). I just want to investigate Abang "status" at that time. (Ye la kan... hati dah berkenan, takut nanti tersalah pilih, suami orang ke,tunang orang ke...) I put aside all my pride just to know more about Abang (guna org ke-3 lebih selamat tau..hehe)-- pesanan penaja

Eventually, her positive response of Abang made me decide... he is the ONE!... and the love story begins.... (censored!!)

Kak N*** still keep in touch with us, even we have met eyes to eyes with her whole family..(wpun bukan di rumah, hanya la di pekan Kajang..) I am grateful for this relationship (so called adik/kakak angkat).

I'm praying for her happiness, health, wealth (kata nak beli banglo, kan? "wink") and a son maybe?? hehehe

Till we meet again...
