Hello and Assalamualaikum. Hope everyone has a beautiful (oh, maybe not beautiful but a good) Monday. Hope that your "Monday blues" is manageable. Mine?! I decided not to care much but rather to just go for it. Work is piling up high and not to forget the assignments. But yea, what's new? It's basically the same old, same old story. So, deal with it, right?!

So anyway, as shown on the above picture, my daughter and husband were enjoying their pool time together. Despite the whole drama-show-tantrum that she put us into, yesterday was in deed a fun-good time together for all of us.

Being a mother requires a lot of patience and I am not giving up just yet. Sabar itu separuh daripada Iman dan Iman adalah anak saya. Jadi, sabar itu perlu. InsyaAllah, tanggungjawab itu akan di pikul sebaik mungkin.

Hello Malaysia!

I am very much impressed with the amount of money that our government paid for the Prime Minister's bills. The amount of money that we spent on these bills can actually feed a village, Masyallah. 

It is sad looking at what is happening to the country. It's getting worst with nonsense news being reported everyday. It's heart-breaking to see that irresponsible Ministers trying to fool the rakyat with crappy statements, making fool of themselves as if the rakyat is so stupid that the rakyat can't differentiate between right and wrong. We are desperately in need of a change - a true leader who can manage the country well and not just by managing their own pocket money.

Wonder when will that time be?

That Latte Place @ Jalan Persiaran Ritchie, Ampang

I am so excited about this new cafe that I really need to write about it. In fact, I just got back from having brunch at the cafe.

It was actually recommended by one of my course-mate. She is a regular customer of this cool cafe located at Jalan Persiaran Ritchie off Jalan Ampang Hilir (behind Great Eastern Mall). We have been planning to have brunch together at this cafe for the longest time and finally made it today. We decided to have our discussion for our group assignment-cum-brunch at this cool cafe. OMG, it is really a cool cafe.

That Latte Place is located at Yayasan Seni Berdaftar, Artisan Centre Gallery. I fell in love with place the moment I arrived. It's like love at the first sight. Chewah!!

And the food - the food is marvellous and at a very reasonable price. I had their Pancake with Fruit Salad together with Americano and it only cost me RM13.90. Isn't it cheap?

I had my second cup of Latte and it was good. It doesn't taste that sweet - ngam ngam taste, if you know what I mean.

Everything is actually below RM10 except for the Hearty Breakfast

Hearty Breakfast, RM17.90

The Croissant Egg Sandwich

Creamy Chicken Mushroom Pie

This is my order - Pancake with Fruit Salad

My second cup of coffee - Latte

Will definitely come again and you should too!

#ootd

I just woke up from a very long nap. I was down with fever and falling flat after taking the meds. I had a very long much needed rest. Alhamdulillah, am feeling good and fresh now except for the sore throat yang masih menyengat rasanya.

So anyway, I have been busy with my usual stuff - work and assignments that I haven't got time to update this blogsphere on mine. Jadi post ini akan hanya menjadi post yang sungguh merepek.

If you know me personally, you would know that I don't really wear baju kurung that much. I only wear baju kurung on a very rare occasion - either during festive seasons (Hari Raya), weddings or kenduri kendara. Memang sungguh jarang sekali!.

Please don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like wearing them, I do! Just that I walk very fast and wearing baju kurung makes me move a little bit slower than my usual beat and it looks very funny when I walk very fast on a baju kurung.

But last Tuesday, I decided to wear baju kurung to work. Sungguh unusual for me to wear baju kurung to work sebab I don't wear baju kurung to work. Jadi, bila berbaju kurung ke tempat kerja, semua orang jadi pelik.

My point is, I should wear baju kurung more often to work else baju-baju kurung yang ada tu dibiarkan begitu sahaja.

Over a cup of coffee

Generally, weekend is where we spend most of our time with our family and friends - having brunch or a quick dinner just to get an update on their up and about.

Similarly like others, my weekend is where the boys will come over to the house while my mom will prepare food for them or a quick jalan-jalan with lil Iman at the park. But I hardly spend my weekends with my girls.

For some people, it is a ritual for them to have a quick get-together brunch/lunch/dinner with their close friends. Unlike others, my close friends are super busy with their own lives. One is still cooping with managing her own little family (having a 6 months old baby boy is as challenging as taking care a growing up lil Iman) while the other one is busy doing her home-diy-decorating project and the other one who is still learning to overcome her heartbroken-ness needs the time on her own. Hence, to fix the time where everyone is free and available is indeed..... difficult.

I can safely say that our get-together will only be once every quarter sebab nak celebrate everyone's belated birthdays. Oh yes, we celebrated our birthdays the belated way. Sungguh unik bukan. It's our thing, we can't help it!

Anyway, my point is, although we do not have time for each other atau dalam bahasa lembutnya, we hardly meet each other, that doesn't mean that our relationship is loosen up because we built our friendship base on trust not by frequent get-together meetings.

I know that I can rely on them on anything and I know that they will always be there for me whenever I need them the most. We don't need to meet each other every-so-weekend just to update ourselves on our whereabouts. Itu dah macam client's WIP meeting pulak nak kena update every week. We can still communicate with each other through technology though! We still keep ourselves updated about each other through phone calls. Tak perlu physical meeting because we have other commitments that requires our time instead of having a weekly get-together, kan?! Therefore, we will make sure that the time spent for each other were the quality ones. Kan lebih bermakna.

This friends I have are the ones that I'll keep for the rest of my life - the ones that will never lie, the ones that will always tell the truth even though truth hurts, the ones that will say everything in all honesty and these are the ones who will share my ups and down. Real friendship doesn't requires weekly get-together, real friendship requires honest love which we have for each other.
