9th Ramadhan

The day starts with a pinch of hope.

Then he calls at 12 noon to confirm and I start feeling nervous.

We prepare soto for iftar specially for him.

He finally arrives at 6 after 3 hours drive from Sg Rengit.

He seems nervous too.

We invite him in and they warmly greet and chat with him. I can hear laughter from where I stand in the kitchen.

The nervous feeling has gone.

Iftar is great. The food is delicious.

He stays until 10 for more chit chat. I can see that they warmed up to each other.

Then he makes a move for another 3 hours drive home.

The day ends with a bundle of joy and a big smile in my ♥.

Sayang, thank you for coming..mak & abah like you :)

Most popular food at bazar Ramadhan

Dah masuk hari ke-4 berpuasa. Pada Anis apa yang menarik dalam bulan Ramadhan ni selain memperbanyakkan amal ibadat, bertadarus, pegi solat terawih kat masjid, bersahur and berbuka dengan family or kengkawan is pegi bazar Ramadhan untuk beli juadah berbuka puasa.

Kalau kat sini Anis selalu pegi Bazar Ramadhan Taman Melawati. Kat bazar ni macam-macam food and drinks boleh dapat. Food yang paling popular kt bazar Taman Melawati ni is ikan bakar nelayan, popia basah Zaiton and tepung pelita.

If you happen to stop by this bazaar, you must try the foods that I mentioned. To find ikan bakar nelayan..senang je..just look for a long queue at the middle of the bazaar. Untuk popia basah..seller guna open-up truck instead of payung situated at the first row from the roadside. Famous tepung pelita plak Anis tak jumpa lagi. I will update this later..hehe. And jangan lupa pakai mask.

For the past 3 days, Anis dah beli kurma, taufa, air soya panas and lala goreng cili. Adik-adik plak beli nasi dagang and nasi kerabu.

Hmmm..daripada banyak-banyak ni apa yang paling popular ek. Anis dah listkan a few foods yang selalu ada kat bazar Ramadhan (pls scroll down to end of page) for you to vote..just for fun :)

Opps i did it again...

Overspent.

I went to Ariani yesterday. My initial plan was to buy ONE pink hijab for my baju raya. I got the pink one.


Then suddenly my hand had a life of its own...it started grabbing the green and the purple and the blue and the grey...


Oh nooo..it didn't stop there. Then comes a couple of the printed ones.


And in the end, I walked out of the store with SEVEN pieces of tudung in my hand...hee

But when I reached home, I realized I miss ONE more color for another pair of baju kurung...not again...hahaha

Here's me in one of them...lawa tak?

DIY birthday presents

Last week was my sis and mom's birthday. So I decided to give each of them a custom made jewelry. What's more precious than giving them something I made myself with lots of love and care...rite.

bracelet for my sis

with matching earrings

bracelet for Mama using Swarovski crystals

I'm so glad they like it.. :)

Introducing my new toy

This is my 2 weeks old white color Lenovo Ideapad S10.

When I get my bonus, I'll upgrade it to 2GB RAM and maybe some cool looking skin to give it character...hehe

Must-have Items for Summer 2009

After reading cover-to-cover a few fashion magazines, hopping from one fashion blog to another and browsing thru a number of shops both online and offline, I've come up with a list of must-have items for this season. And most importantly all of these items are hijab-friendly.


1/ Long sleeves with elasticized cuff

There have been a few names for this one; balloon sleeves, poet sleeves, ruffled hem or elasticized cuff. By looking at the pic below, you’ll understand what I mean. This cuff already made an appearance sometime last year but only this year I saw more of it in stores and on the streets. Even our baju kurung has copied this trend and with a good tailoring it will turn out stunning. I plan to do one myself for this year’s baju raya.

2/ Kaftan

Who would have thought this piece of clothing that our moms wear to bed is actually a big hit on the runway. It appears at Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Naeem Khan, etc.

3/ Maxi skirts

With a good cut it can be really comfortable.

During my free time

After a long hiatus in the jewelry making department, I managed to create these lovelies last week.

My colleague ordered this one for her 12 year-old daughter. Hope she likes it.


And this one used to be a necklace. Since I cannot wear a short necklace anymore (because of the hijab), so I transformed it into a bracelet.


I've bought a few other materials online last week...can't wait to receive it and start on a new project... :)
