Ppl always asked me
I am a goal achiever girl (or shud i address myself as "woman") hehe. I want to achieve something.
However, it is quite hard in order for us to know what are our strengths and passions.
I always love the job that requires me to challenge myself. To monitor my performance. Measure the outcomes.
I dont really like routine jobs. Meeting new people and dealing with new ideas excite me.
I will begin my new path in August. Hopefully I can spread my wings there. Yes, I took the road less taken. The job will challenge me and I will challenge myself further. Yes, I want to do part time master as well.
But of course, my long term vision is to open my very own business. With my very own brand insyaAllah. However, to achieve that, I need experience and some capital. All by myself. Non of my family is from business background. Just my great grandparents own restaurants and some rental houses.
Maybe most of you will say that I took the job because of the pay. To be honest, NO. My first priority is my opportunities to learn and expand. 2nd would be the purpose and working environment. I need to know what is the significance or purpose of my job. Third, salary.
I am very committed when Im doing something. I value time. I value professionalism. I believe in integrity. Sum up, Im very "skema". So I need a working environment that can carry my attitudes. Not to say that I carry a good personality. But my attitude may bring a lot of problems, depends on the organizational culture.
I dont like the idea of 10am go for morning break, lunch until 2pm, solat for 1 hr, tea at 4pm. Hohhh. N it makes it worst if there are a lot of kaki bodek but tak reti wat keje kind of ppl. I just allergic to them. hahaha.
Yes, pls hate me. If i'm doing what I mentioned above, pls "ketuk" me. Serious! hahaa.
Ahhh and I hate when ppl always "remind" me. Rahmah, dun go to that company, u r a woman. Teruk keje. Baik keje kat %^&&@. Senang. Goyang kaki je, duit masuk.
WOahh...pakcik, keje goyang kaki will make me go crazy. hahaha. Its ok. Maybe I can reconsider that when I have few childrens :P OK. Done complaining! (Syukur Rahmah, plss!)
On top of that, i really believe in "rezeki". Allah has better plan for all of us. I believe that whatever we earn, we must give back. We will never go bankrupt if we practice "sedekah".
I am excited to step into a new world. Pushing my adrenaline to the highest. What is the meaning of earning a lot without putting your heart in whatever you're doing right?
So Rahmah, smile and seize the world! Pls pray for me ya :D
P.S I do not afraid to resign if i don't like my work
P.P.S Need to think of my new style
P.P.P.S Desperately need to lose some weight! I need to wear my heels to office!!! :(

You can start anywhere and do anything with a good attitude and willingness to learn

I wanna grow old with you...
My man has turned 22 twon days ago. I did nothing for him.
I prepared him stars and handmade card. But all of them "destroyed" when I was moving from UTP.
I'm soo sorry my dear. U did the best during my birthday.
I promise I will do something on our 4th anniversary k?
In the meantime, I am such a drama queen. Raised up issues dat is totally non sense. This is normal syndrome when I am apart from him :( Sorry..
This song is dedicated to you..

Another day
Without your smile
Another day just passes by
But now I know
How much it means
For you to stay
Right here with me
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you
A thousand miles between us now
It causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It makes our risk right all along
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you
Things can come and go I know but
Baby I believe
Something's burning strong between us
Makes it clear to me...
I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU
Without your smile

Aku Seorang Penganggur :)
Hari ke-6 sebagai seorang penganggur.
Naik river cruise kat Melaka. Menguap beberapa kali. haaha.
Tak suka jadi seorang yg tak bekerja.
Otak malas. Badan malas. Tak produktif.
Takpela. Sebulan je kot. InsyaAllah..
Masa yg ada harus tidak dilepaskan utk bersama keluarga.
Mama semakin sihat. Tapi jalan masih harus dipimpin,
Budak sebelah kiri ni akan ke Sabah sabtu ni.
Paling best, aktiviti makan!
OK. Memang gemuk bertambah gemuklah cik orkid :(

Tapi...
hanya kalimah syukur..sujud syukur atas segala nikmatNya..
Alhamdulillah ya Allah..Kau kurniakan rezeki tika keluargaku kesempitan.
Kubersyukur ya Allah kerana memberi kesempatan berbakti kepada keluargaku
Sebagai penghapus dosa yang menimbun, juga mendapat rahmatMu.
Janjiku akan dilangsaikan. 3 hari berpuasa juga menghantar adikku ke ESQ :)

Pasangan HOT :P
Sekarang musim entri sedih2 nak tinggalkan laki masing2.
Macam cik suraya --> http://damagebutstillokay.blogspot.com/2010/06/saya-taknak-pikir-pape-boleh-kan.htmlCik Sha Ahmad yg dah berilham sepi hehe --> http://si-penglipur.blogspot.com/2010/06/ilham-sepi.html
Cik Nita
Juga cik orkid. eh?
hahaa.Sume pon da sedeh2.
Semalam chatting dgn sha ahmad. Act aku dah nanges pon mlm td ok. oh sungguh ntah pape.
Bayangkan cik orkid 4tahun dgn dia.
Kelas sama. Course sama. Minor major sama. haha.
Even tak berkepit pon mmg dia depan mata je.
Masa intern lagi la rapat. Datang amek gi keje. Lunch or dinner same2.
huuu skrang terpaksa mengenangkan dia di Terengganu, saya di JB.
Agak2 dekat tak? hahaa.
Jika ada rezeki kerja di KL sekalipun, ktorg dah berbeza Dah takde zaman macam budak uni lagi. permulaan baru. Banyak cabaran.
Cik Orkid memang takleh long distance. Sbb cik orkid tak kuat. Cpt je melekat dgn org lain. huuu..
Laki takde perasaan eh? hahaha. Kami ni yg perempuan meroyan tahap ape ntah bila nak berpisah dgn diorg.
Kaum lelaki, kami tahu mmg takde penyelesaian pun utk masalah berjauhan. Dan kami arif mmg xde pon. Takkan nak keje satu department plak kan?
Kami cuma ingin didengari. Macam2 yg kua kat otak ni. Padahal mmg non sense pun. Kami cpt berair mata. Tapi bukan utk menyalahkan kamu. Memang dilahirkan jiwa halus. So just bare with us. No solution needed. We just need you :)

Ini Ayah Saya~~
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
EN.MUHAB SHAH BIN ADAM
Ayah yg fit lagi tough (sekarang mungkin dah buncit. haha)
Ayah ialah my inspiration
Ayah mmg rapat dgn saya (anak sulong katekan) haha. tp dia mmg rapat sgt dgn anak2 dia..
Ayah selaaaalluuuu gaduh dgn saya. Balik je sure bising sbb gaduh. Gaduh2 manja katekan.
Hari tu, ayah beli makanan kat pasar malam. Tup tup dia terbeli jagung bakar sebab ingatkan cik orkid kat umah. Alolo sweetnyeee. haahah. I noe u miss me :P
Ayah memang penting esp utk anak perempuan. Sbb dia lah lelaki pertama yg hadir dlm hidup seorg perempuan. Dialah yg lift our confident, make us feel like women, care for you, make us feel beauty and our shield.
Ayah mmg sgt sabar... Jaga sepenuhnya my mom. Buat semua kerja rumah. Care for his children. Stay happy even byk problem.
Paling penting, dia masih seorg lelaki even mama dan ayah jauh berbeza. Seumur hidup cik orkid tak pernah tgk my parents bergaduh (sumpah!) --> maybe ada bergaduh tp bkn in front of me. I adore how he educated us, mama, kngah n aiman.
Masa sakit, dialah yg bersabar bangun tgh2 malam urutkan cik orkid.
Dia tak pernah ada perempuan lain selain mama..
Dia sgt caring wif his family selain our family.
Dialah imam kami yg membudayakan solat berjemaah, makan bersama everytime, mengajar mengaji kpd sepupu2 dan jiran.
He is my man... Ayah, i love u soo much :D

Entri Geli Geleman
Warning: Jgn baca. Memang geli. Entri untuk layan perasaan melayang2.
Hari Jumaat lepas kami berpisah.
Isnin cik orkid sambung kelas tak taw belaja ape aka .NET tanpa dia..
Selasa dah meroyan gile2. Sampai da rasa nak menangis (or maybe da termenangis kot. haha)
Rabu baru dia sampai.
Melekat. Sampai ke Ipoh.
We talk, talk, talk. Macam tak jumpa brape tahun ntah (padahal baru 6 hari).
Balik2 sambung chatting kat gtalk lagi berjam2. hahaha.
Thanks for the sharings, the words, the acceptance.
I really appreciate it. Really..
Tinggal beberapa hari je nak cherish the moment dgn dia, as student UTP. OMG. 4tahun kat sini bercinta. Pastu masing2 dgn arah masing2. Mampu ke kami bertahan?
Doa..doa tanpa henti. Semoga dia jodohku. ameen :D

"What goes around comes around"
Terbaca kat facebook org.
Just random baca2.
"What goes around comes around"
I am more than totally agree with that statement.
Tapi kan, tapi tapi layakkah kita terus gitaw kat orang yang dilanda ujian tu dgn perkataan tu?
Terfikirlahkan.
Siapalah kita untuk menghukum. Bagi Cik Orkid kata2 yang macam tu is no better than saying
" Amik ko, nilah balasannye"
Tapi sapelah kita untuk menentukan balasan org. no?
Mungkin ujian tu adalah ujian yg Allah bg untuk meningkatkan iman. Mungkin juga untuk penghapus dosa. Tapi, sedar tak yang kita pun ada salah. Bila2 je orang boleh cakap benda yang sama kat kita. At least, orang tu dah dapat pengajaran, mungkin dapat menghapuskan dosa. Kita? Ketawakan je org lain?
Cik Orkid percaya segala apa yg berlaku di sekeliling adalah pesanan Allah bagi kita.
Contoh, kita tengok kes zina. Bagi Cik Orkid, tu lah pesanan Allah supaya menjaga diri.
Siapalah kita untuk hanya mengutuk tanpa sedar bahawa dosa tu jugak mungkin kita akan bakal buat (Na'uzubillah)
What I am trying to say here, we are human beings. We do mistakes. We will get punished by Him for our sins. But the punishment is totally in His hand. We are only servants.
Bukan bermakna cik orkid kata jgn membenci kejahatan, silalah benci dgn benci bencinya. Tapi lagi manis jika disertakan dgn doa dan muhasabah diri.
Buka mata dan lihat sekeliling. Terlalu banyak yg Allah tunjuk untuk beri pengajaran. Buka mata hati dan ikhlaskan diri.
P/S: Post ni untuk cik orkid muhasabah diri. Susah jugak untuk cik orkid menerima segalanya dgn positif. Bisikan negatif mesti selalu je ada..tapi kita try k? InsyaAllah..
Currently sgt rindu dgn training...

The Road Not Taken
Dulu masa sekolah memang suka sangat this poem.
It inspires me to be more positive about challenges..
Now...i am in the middle of two diverged roads. Or maybe 3, or 4. haha.
Serious. I am not sure about my upcoming way to undertake.
Today, a very humble and inspiring lecturer gave a thought about this.
What can i say? He just added another options to me. haha.
Options yg ada ni pun da cukup memeningkan kepala..
Takpela...layan je la dulu. :P
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
P/S: I think may be i will take the one less traveled.. because when the odds are against u, the victory is even sweeter, i believe :)

Millionaire (worth to read)
A Blog posted by Singapore's Youngest Millionaire by Adam Khoo in Money
Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Suzahou (China). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books.
Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is travelling economy?' My reply was, 'That's why I am a millionaire'. He still looked pretty confused. Thes again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self Made Millionaires'). Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Huggo Boss, Rolex and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment they earn money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more,putting them back to square one.
The truth is that most self made millionaires are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate and multiply their wealth so much faster. Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids, 2kids, etc. to support). Still it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky). I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt becauseI think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-yearold daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice.
When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur's Organization) a few years back (YEO is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and makeover $1m a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worths well over $5m,travelled economy class and some even drove Toyota's and Nissans (not Audis, Mercs, BMWs, etc.)
I noticedthat it wasonly those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation. Thank god my rich dad (Oh no! I sound like Kiyosaki) foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business.
Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewellary or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last. Material happiness never lasts, it just give you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.
Instead, what make ME happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see by companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many countries, What make me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life. What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this BLOG is inspiring you. This happiness makesme feel really good for a long time,much more then what a Rolex would do for me.
I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life's work (be in teaching,building homes, designing, trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a by-product. If you hate what are you doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaningless.

P/S: TRUE! Kaum kita selalu disogok, dapat kerja je terus plan macam2 nak beli itu ini. Kena sesuai dgn gaji kononnya. haha. Kalau sesuai takpe, kalau tak sesuai, sebab tu lah jadi macam kaum kita sekarang.
P/P/S: Tapi susah nak buang mindset tu. Try ubah. Sikit2. Dgn bersederhana. InsyaAllah..

Harapan Saya
Harapan Cik Orkid yg nampak kabur.
Mula2 rasa terang pastu kabur balik. haha.
Angan-angannya mahu bayar semua kos convo sendiri. Tempah baju sendiri.
Malah mahu sponsor penginapan hotel untuk famili2 yg excited nak dtg meraikan konvo saya bulan 10 nih. Sapelah cik orkid tanpa famili kan?
Memang berharap begitu.
Berharap kerja seawal mungkin untuk ringankan beban.
Tak mahu meminta duit mereka yg dah tanggung lebih dari 22tahun nih.
Tak mahu bermewah dgn duit mereka. Cik orkid pun dtg dari keluarga yg sangat sederhana. Mak cikgu, ayah pencen. Apalah sangat?
Mahu semahu-mahunya membawa adik2 bercuti.
Kesian aiman. Dia yang paling bongsu, so masa dia besar sikit mama dah tak sihat. Jadi kami memang tak berkesempatan nak bwk dia jalan jauh2 (Dlm malaysia je la).
Nak sangat bercuti dgn mereka. Sape lagi yg nak harap kalo bukan adik2 sendiri.
haha. sungguh poyo ayat cik orkid. tapi rasanya most of anak sulong mesti rasa mcm tu kan? Tak sanggup tgk mak ayah bekerja susah pyh lagi utk kita..
Apapun, segala dtg dgn hikmah. Terlalu byk yg Allah bagi. Tapi selalu jugak nampak yg tak dapat. Astaghfirullah..
Apapun, Dia Maha Mengetahui isi hati ni. Semoga segalanya dipermudahkan.
Cik Orkid mahu itu.. mahu sangat2..sangat2 mahu... :(
Mula2 rasa terang pastu kabur balik. haha.
Angan-angannya mahu bayar semua kos convo sendiri. Tempah baju sendiri.
Malah mahu sponsor penginapan hotel untuk famili2 yg excited nak dtg meraikan konvo saya bulan 10 nih. Sapelah cik orkid tanpa famili kan?
Memang berharap begitu.
Berharap kerja seawal mungkin untuk ringankan beban.
Tak mahu meminta duit mereka yg dah tanggung lebih dari 22tahun nih.
Tak mahu bermewah dgn duit mereka. Cik orkid pun dtg dari keluarga yg sangat sederhana. Mak cikgu, ayah pencen. Apalah sangat?
Mahu semahu-mahunya membawa adik2 bercuti.
Kesian aiman. Dia yang paling bongsu, so masa dia besar sikit mama dah tak sihat. Jadi kami memang tak berkesempatan nak bwk dia jalan jauh2 (Dlm malaysia je la).

Percutian Bajet - Pangkor
Kami merancang utk bercuti. Konon2 afta graduate la.
Plan nye nak gi Langkawi. Tapi ada byk plak halnye n bila pikir balik, alang2 da kat cni, enjoy la selagi ade kan. haha.
Ktorg gi late nite movie the nite b4. so of coz la bgn lmbt kan. Siapkan mkanan sikit2.
Kol11 kua utp. tapi harusla isi perut kan. haha.
so kire dlm 11.40 baru gerak.
Ktorg pun gi marina island. Jeti ke pangkor yang baru. Tempat tu sangat cantik. Service sgt best. 10 minit je ke pangkor. Paling penting murah!! rm10 je for 2 way.
Muka excited nak gi Pangkor!
Haruslah ojan lagi excited. Duit tak terkopak sgt. hehe.
*kami berdua je kat feri ni. rasa mcm sewa feri sendiri sbb 2 org je. hehe*
Sampai2 je kami sewa motor. Lagi feeling katenya. haha. Memang macam2 masalah la. sebab ojan tak pernah pakai skuter. so nak start pun tak reti. bukak "bonet" pon tak reti. hahaha. sangat bimbo ye. hahaha.
So kami memang tawaf banyak kali pulau tu. Skuter mmg laju. walau buruk, tapi memang best. haha.
Jadi destinasi kami yg pertama ialah dutch fort. Tak mandi dlu sbb panas sgt!
Kami naik motor je keliling pulau. Satu hari rm25. minyak rm2. setel. lagi best. laju n mencabar! haha. gambar ni diambil masa motor ni bergerak ye. huk3.
berehat tepi pantai~sebelum naik boat jalan2 sekeliling pulau. rm20 seorang. if amek pakej snorkelling, mandi2, pancing n candat sotong, and jalan2 pulau rm100 utk 2 org :D ini recommended utk org yg nak spend satu hari kat sane. kami xde byk masa mase tuh. kalo tak memang teringin nak mancing.
Pulau pangkor ni mmg sgt recommended utk aktiviti air. mmg best! n pantai pun cantik lagi bersih. leh nampak ikan2 n gamat, coral dari permukaan.
jalan2 pulau.. perasan tak batu tu macam gambar buaya.
ni plak macam ikan paus.
hurmmm memang sangat cantik pemandangan. seronok betul dpt menikmati keindahan ciptaan Allah.
Encik Ojan yg beristirehat.
kemudian kami bergegas balik ke jeti utk last trip kol 7.30pm. Memang puas even xsampai sehari. Memang cukup je sehari sebenarnya. Tak banyak tempat. Pulau pun kecik je. Tapi make sure main air puas2 ok!
ktorg sgt dissapointed sbb tak dapat makan laksa goreng yg fames siap masuk JJCM tu. Sebab da abes :( so make sure koraang g sane taw! n tny local kat mane.
Seriusly, kat sana mmg tak byk pilihan makanan. maybe sbb kami dtg on weekdays kot. tapi start ptg, mmg sgt byk hawkers yg jual nasi lemak, apam balik, kuih2, laksa.
Sampai2 di jeti (10 minit je perjalanan) ktorg solat dulu. Feri mmg dtg utk amek ktorg 2 je. heaven! rasa mcm vip je. haha. dahla rm5 je one way!
Utk dinner, ktorg g makan ketam! woahhh sedap gileeee!
Kat lumut, Cik Orkid pon memborong ikan bilis, sotong kering, ikan masin, n mcm2 jenis kerepek2 utk buah tgn for my family :) Tak taw nape, hrga brg2 kat lumut slightly lower den da 1 kat pangkor. Maybe laa. Sbb ktorg g satu tmpt je. Malas nak memborong kat pangkor sbb nak bwk byk barang plak.
So nilah total bajet kami:
feri 2 way = rm20 (2pax)
motor n minyak = rm27
makan kat sane = rm10
topi cik orkid = rm9
bot = rm40 (2pax)
dinner = rm22.50
souvenir = rm50
total: rm178.50 utk 2 org.
tapi kire kalo hanya travel lebih kurang rm120++ utk 2 person :)
okla kan? sume ado. mmg enjoy abesla.
Yang penting pas abes our vacation :
me? xde pape pon ok je.
oooo rupa2nya org yg byk melanin pon kena sunburn gak eh?
walau bagaimanapun (ayat skema), sbg gf yg prihatin, tetap belikan dia nivea for sun damaged skin lotion. cyannn dieeee... hehe
hik3. jgn marahhh b! syg u!!

Cinta Monyet
Cinta monyet: monyet yang bercinta :P
Lame.
Baeklah.
Tiba2 terpikir pasal cinta monyet.
Ade tak cik orkid pernah bercinta ala2 monyet nih? haha.
Cik Orkid memang cepat jatuh cinta. Tapi nak bercinta tu lambat sikitlah. haha
Plus, sapelah nak cik orkid. Garang (prefect garang ok). Buruk. Gemuk. Anti lelaki.
Tapi bab2 abang angkat ni. memang ado.
Cik orkid pon pernah melalui cinta monyet yg agak drama lah. Tak bercinta kot. Tapi memang memberi kesan yang mendalam. Sampai tercipta cerpen "Gadis Berkurung Biru"
Tapi 1st cinta monyet masa form 1. Yang ni sangat kelaka. Si lelaki sangat pemalu. haha.
Last2 bosan, terus clash je.
Tup tup sekarang jadi artis. Semoga berjaya ye! :D
Jadi bercinta sebenar2 bercinta hanya sekali. Dulu memang takde wat pape. Declare pon tak. Jumpa dating ape tah lagi. haha. Mungkin hanya minat secara diam2.
Almost 4 years dgn Ojan tersayang. Cik Orkid rasa, if tak couple dgn dia, sapelah nak cik orkid neh haa. Ada kot yang nak. Tapi xde sapa berani and i bet memang takde sape yang tahan. haha.
Thanks for being with me dear. You are my everything. Semoga hubungan kita sampai ke Jannah :D ameen.
Plan b4 keje
Sekarang..
Masih blur about my future.
Tak taw sape my employer.
Tapi i noe what i want :D jgn ckp cik orkid ni org xde masa depan plak. haha.
Maka dalam tempoh pengangguran nih. Cik Orkid target nak:
1. Read more books
2. Polish my english. My english is s*** rite now. serius. lack of practice i guess.
3. Belajar masak. Nak sgt belajar masak. Macam nasi beriani ke, nasi tomato ke, cupcake, brownies, ape2 jela. utk kesenangan masa dpn. plus, cik orkid mmg suka masak. cuma sebelum ni memang masak try n error. so mmg error je la kan :P
so mmg nak sign up for kelas memasak. tapi sume mahal2 :( saye nak blaja suke suke je~
4. joging bersama ayah
5. more tahajud. terlalu byk rezeki yg Allah bagi. Tapi makin lama makin jauh dari Dia. Ya Allah...
Hopefully, sumenya ok :D
P/S: What do u want from me? Kalo tak jawab, kate sombong or tipu plak. Bila jawab, cakap menunjuk plak. Haiyo.
