Plants in our home garden

2010-10-19T00:13:00.002+08:00

I thot this 'limau kasturi' plant gonna die when we re-planted it a few years back and then it got infected by those white insects! With some tender cares, it grew back and produced lots of 'limau' : )

My mom-in-law brought this plant all the way from Melaka. She said this plant is good to keep if the houseowner wants babies. It does make sense coz this plant blooms forever!

I got this fern from a neighbour in Johor a few years back and it has 9 lives!

I forgot its name but it got nice smell n looks similar to 'limau kasturi' plant.

The rose plant has been with us for more than 10 years!

Once planted, you dont really need to take care of this plant!

Nice combination!

The 'keladis'

Come to think of it, I dont really know plants names-be it scientific or otherwise! but this one has nice smell flowers

If only I can eat the flowers!

Open Your Eyes Lyrics

By: Maher Zain
Look around yourselves
Can’t you see this wonder
Spreaded infront of you
The clouds floating by
The skies are clear and blue
Planets in the orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony

Let’s start question in ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..
No..

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Look inside yourselves
Such a perfect order
Hiding in yourselves
Running in your veins
What about anger love and pain
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?

Lets start question in ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us?
Or are we so blind
To push it all aside..?
No..

When a baby’s born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching him growing..
So why deny
Whats in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life..

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look quiet we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Open your eyes and hearts and minds
If you just look bright to see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise
Take us in the best way
(Allah..)
Guide us every single day..
(Allah..)
Keep us close to You
Until the end of time..

Allah..
You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Robb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You..
Alhamdulillah..

We're here on this special day
Our hearts 'r full of pleasure
The day that brings the two of you
Close together
We're gathered here to celebrate
A moment you'll always treasure
We ask Allah to make your love
Last forever
Let's raise our heads and make dua'a
Like the prophet taught us
And with one voice let's all say…say…say
Baraka-alahu-lakuma x2
Wa Baraka alakuma x2
Wa jama bainakuma fi khair x2
From now you'll share all your joys
Parts of ya'll support each other
Together worshipping Allah
Seeking His pleasure
We pray that He will bring your life
With happiness and blessings
And grant you kids
And make your home filled with laughter
Let's raise our heads and make dua'a
Like the prophet taught us
And with one voice let's all say…say…say
Baraka-alahu-lakuma x2
Wa Baraka alakuma x2
Wa jama bainakuma fi khair x2
Baraka allah x5
Baraka allahu lakum wa lana x2
Allah barik lahuma
Allah adm hobahuma
Allah 'sali wa salim ala rasool ellh
Allah tub alana
Allah erdha ana
Allah ehdi khutana
Ala sunat nabina
Let's raise our heads and make dua'a
Like the prophet taught us
And with one voice let's all say…say…say
Baraka-alahu-lakuma x3
Wa Baraka alakuma x3
Wa jama bainakuma fi khair x3

Justin Bieber/Jaden Smith- Never Say Never lyrics

See I never thought that I could walk through fire.
I never thought that I could take the burn.
I never had the strength to take it higher,
Until I reached the point of no return.

And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
It's my destiny.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up up up,

And never say never.
I never thought I could feel this power.
I never thought that I could feel this free.
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower.
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea.

And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
Cause this is my destiny.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.

Here we go!

Guess who?

JSmith and Jb!

I gotcha lil bro.

I can handle him.

Hold up, aight?

I can handle him.

Now he's bigger than me,

Taller than me.

And he's older than me,

And stronger than me.

And his arms a little bit longer than me.

But he ain't on a JB song with me!

I be trying a chill

They be trying to side with the thrill.

No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will.

Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove.

Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.

I gotta be the best, and yes

We're the flyest.

Like David and Goliath,

I conquered the giant.

So now I got the world in my hand,

I was born from two stars

So the moon's where I land.

I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.

I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.

After 1.5 years of waiting and already thinking that its not gonna give me any blooms, my hubby told me of a bud appeared from one of the leaves, last week. We were so excited (esp. me & Amir)! I took photos almost daily from all angles and last nite, I took a few more after dinner without knowing that its going to pop-out. Otherwise, I would be waiting...alas, this morning we have a nice flower waiting for us (";)

Both filled up my weekend (27 & 28/06/09) ! I was fighting Decepticons when Optimus went dead for 5 hours, with a better prepared clothing compared to Megan!. In-between ironing and cooking, l listened/watched/read MJ. It was liked travelling back to mid 80's since both achieved their 'star' status when I was in my prime too (";). I like him (image & style) the most during the Off-the-Wall period. He looked boyish & innocent. Back then, I listened to him while watching robots in disguise on TV.

Since my birthday is the 'FINALE' in our family and we are head-over-heels in love with GENG, I decided to have similar cake with added cute little chicks just like the ones in the movies-http://ujisweetbites.blogspot.com/2009/03/bugs-and-more-bugs-and-chicks.html. But she came up with some extras and we just love to look at it and so 'sayang' to cut it!. Thank you Uji.

P/S: Our eldest son couldnt made it home over the weekend but he had the largest share: ).

Sky-Watching along the Highway

2009-03-24T13:29:00.005+08:00

Such a wonderful world! Geng The Movie also has nice scenic views of the sky:)

3rd. Viewing (";) (":) ('';)

2009-03-20T14:21:00.004+08:00

It's school holiday! On the way to 'balik kampung', we thot of going Wet World Batu Pahat or Pontian then when we arrived it was changed to a water resort in JB. Guess where we ended up? TGV Tebrau City - watching Geng ! How did it happened? Apa 'doa' yang Tok Ranggi pakai ni : ))) The nephews & nieces also got Upin&Ipin gifts & CDs....

2nd. Viewing of Geng.

2009-03-03T13:17:00.003+08:00

This time we just knew where to laugh and had fun looking into the details : ). Smaller GSC 100-seater hall though but FULL! Friends were complaining of hard-to-get tickets.
Atok planned for the Geng Theme Park is brilliant! We are very proud wearing, giving and using WoG shirt & things now. Had enough of Mickey and friends, Oopet is cuter and cant wait for its soft toys. Oooh..dont forget Les Copaque's frog ya!

Upin Ipin n Geng @ My Office (";)

2009-02-27T13:48:00.006+08:00

Yeay! We are watching Geng again tomorrow. Actually, its gonna be the 1st. time in my life watching the same film twice in cinema : )))))

Upin, Ipin, Geng and The Star

2009-02-19T12:32:00.007+08:00

Last Sunday, The Star ran a special feature on 3D Movie in its Variety Section but not a single word on Upin & Ipin and Geng The Movie. How could they??? So, we are already contemplating to stop our subscription! Hmm lucky for them for being smart enough to have a special on The Gang behind Geng on Star Two yesterday. Otherwise......

Upin, Ipin n The Geng: Best! Best! Best!

2009-02-17T12:38:00.005+08:00

The last Malaysian movie I watched in cinema was Puteri Gunung Ledang bcoz of so many billboards advertising it months prior to the screening with so much hype on it being the most expensive movie ever produced, the settings, camera tricks etc. Hence I bought tickets for the whole family (6). On screening day, hubby backed out, maid replaced him. We went-in with high expectation, came-out, only our maid was excited. Amir slept half way....

So far, I havent seen any billboard around KL on The Geng but we have a self appointed 'marketing director' at home : ) who managed to go to the premier screening and persistently asking us to go watch the movie.

Finally, after 2 roadshows and 6x watching 'The Making..' we bought tickets for 1/2 the family for 530pm show yesterday. We've been watching Hollywood's 3D movies year in-year out and of course we went-in with a very high expectation!

The Verdicts:

1. Ayah was impressed from the very beginning starting with Les Copaque's frog ;)

2. Amir said it was Awesome ! Better than The Bolt and he gave 10 out of 10 : )

3. Me? Half way thru, I thot Upin, Ipin & The Geng were speaking English and I was running together with them!

What can I say : ) we are very satisfied and planning for another viewing for the whole family! To LES COPAQUE Geng, CONGRATULATIONS! ! ! We R Proud of You! Ye ye ye

Why Taman Miesali : )

2008-07-23T18:56:00.000+08:00

Because I love landscaping especially the tiny ones i.e those with miniature plants BUT I dont have the patience for it. Still, my dream garden is fresh & green in my mind. Plus, I have a company named Taman Miesali Sdn Bhd, ready for it !
