MY SUNDAY

Woke up very early today. Pick up my son in lambak and off to serasa beach. As usual makan soto. Usually I makan soto at this mak’cik place. Tapi I notis the soto place atu inda buka for two weeks dah. I wonder why… so I jalan lagi ke depan and saw tow stalls yang menjual soto. I tried the other one and it wasn’t nice. Not to my liking. But then there’s another one next to it, and I LIKE IT. I like the soto and even my son said the soto was really nice. That means it’s really nice. Not only the soto, the chicken wings was superb!! The asam-asaman fantastic. Go and try for yourself. The moment I makan the chicken wing, I told my son that this is the best chicken wing I ever rasa. Perfect. The place and the people who prepared the food atu, CLEAN. VERY CLEAN. Good eh… good way to start the morning.




Then bila habis, I drop by rah tempat orang menjual ikan. Yang di Searasa atu. And to my surprised, they caught a GIANT KERAPU last Friday. I took some pictures also tapi yang above only. The pictures below taken by the family of Ismail's..... Look at this…..

100kilo…. Ismail’s family lives in pantai serasa. Wowo… 3 orang menarik ikan ani, while fishing di pantai berakas. Tuming, Abib, Ismail the father was out there at 8ish to 9am… Mula mula pakai ancau (pukat damit damit) yang berwarna kuning, cerita nya ada ikan damit inside the pukat then the ikan besar kan makan ikan damit. The giant fish was already inside the pukat. They didn’t know about it until they were about to angkat the pukat atu. When the giant fish struggles to get out of that pukat, they lingkong (pusing buat bulat) ancau and lingkong sama… lingkong buat putaran. They thought that the giant fish rosakkan pukat dorang. But inda. The fish was still in the pukat. They told me takajut dorang and inda ada idea yang ikan besar atu ada di dalam… I ask how they managed to pull the giant fish up to the bot, and they said that when they tarik,, and the fish was melawan wanting to get out of that pukat… When they nampak kepala nya, they keep on menghampas kepala ikan atu to make it pengsan…. I can imagine hah. Susah jua hendak di angkat, it took them 20 min of struggle to tarik ke atas and di hempas kepala nya kerana bekuat…. Eksen ekesn ia pengsan (ha.ha.. becali dorang with me) … kalau lepas kan hidup balik,,,, he.e.e.e.e…. Thursday dapat, hari jumaat di laha…. Ramai ke seasa Friday membali the isi of the fish. 10 kilo, 20 kilo, 30 kilo… etc. isisnya rasa lemak. Ps. Hjh Insan told me about this ma…….Thanks beb. She wanted to call me tapi she doesn’t have my number. Luckily I drop by this morning…. Thanks also for giving me the pictures guys. The pictures are taken by Ismail’s Family. Thank you again.

how i see it

Suriati & Zura

I am having makan with my 'x' husband's wife. Talking about life in general. Very interesting what we have been through. I respect her, she's cool. We are both a very strong women, gone through a lot of dangerous life (as in a more mencabar life, then we expect it would be), banyak selekoh here and there, but we are driving and steering it steady still. This is how women think when you've been through life. You probably won't know until you're in our shoes. Sooner or later you will. And that's how you become stronger. DO KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND THINK EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASONS.. SO THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS FAILURE OR GIVING UP...

When we grew older, life is different. Becoming more challenging and interesting. It is all up to you. Hey.. we both like this classic oldies song the cafe is playing ryte now. So the story continue again... Oh beautiful song eh... the road is long... we may be.....la..la.... but I'm strong....lala.llla..... he ain't heavy his my brother..... wow... delay lah me writing a bit...

Somehow, life is beautiful.... just so beautiful.... you're probably lost by now. Yes i still want to say something... but i m enjoying to this track... he ain't heavy his my brother.... lala..aaaa.... I am sitting right here, looking back how my life, what i have been through. Nobody knows, but i can hear some people whom i don't know said they know me well. I just smile. But you know what, how come i don't know these people? Amazing... you can know someone just because you know his or her name. That's is amazing.

One thing about me, i love to smile. Don't get me wrong. Bonus tu.... My mom told me that i even smile when i was born. Baby Zura kali ah or Baby Niza. And rumours said my eyes was blue... ha.a.a. rupanya lama sudah ada cerita-cerita dongeng and all ani. So everyone came to visit mom at the hospital, and to their surprised my eyes still now brown color lah..... Darn... how on earth could someone spread the rumours baby zura have one set of blue eyes..ha.ha..ha... sedangkan they know my late daddy is a malay..... hello..... Ia tah, whatever you do now, you try to look back in 5 or 10 years to come, you find it really funny and wonder why you did that... true..true...

A bit about me. When i was younger... yeah younger, i never understand why men marries more than one. And i told myself that i want to have a one-woman man saja. But as i grew, then only i see why. I don't fully understand why, although i said i see why. I am sure as days, months, years goes by, i will probably learn and see more and maybe understand it in a good perspective. I once married and that was it for me for the time being. Must think puas-puas before i want to start again. It not an easy thing in life, but i will get there insyallah. My father passed away (bless his soul) in 2002. Leaving us and my other siblings in this world. Luckily we are all in good terms. My step-mom is wonderful. She is nice. We are closer than ever. My mother is the best darling mom i ever had. She is the sweetest and i have her sweetness for being patient in everything.

That is only a brief story about me. And going through that make me become who i am now. Sounds simple ya... but only God's knows. But I'm loving every moment. TO BE HAPPY, WE MUST BE RESPONSIBLE. OUR LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT, AND OUR HAPPINESS IS WHAT WE MAKE IT. IF WE ARE NOT HAPPY, IT IS UP TO US TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

i wrote this on paper napkin

I was reading this magazine June Female Singapore Edition, Kelly Rowland on the cover and I thought it be interesting to share it with you who have no idea about car, but have car. Yes, unlike me, only recently i remember my car registration number. But i do know how to fix my wheel if it losses its air.... (pamchit bah..) he.e.e.e. I know someone who have a car, drive a car and dont know nothing about that car. Could it be you? Anyway i had this tips written on a piece of paper nampkin from that restaurant and were afraid i might buang it ke sampah. So thank God i write sudah. Enjoy it.


How Can You Tell If Your Car Is Breaking-Down:-

1. Slow cranking or a weak start.
2. Engine not running smoothly.
3. A jerky transmission.
4. Abnormal noise from the engine compartment, under carriage or suspension.
5. Frequent need to top up radiator coolant/oil/fluid indicates leaking.
6. Spongy breaks.
7. Warning light illuminated (indicates that the problem need attention) p.s.. did we ever notice?.
8. Uneven tyre wear - indicates wheel alignment or suspensions systems problems. (how many of us do alignment to our wheel and balancing when we send for servicing?).
9. Petrol odour - indicates a possible leakage in the fuel system.

P.S. Correct me if i m wrong. What's your view; Love yourself first then love your car? How's that? and DRIVE SAFE DONT FORGOT TO BUKLE UP!!!! i want you to come back to read my blog again.....

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day.. Happy 4th of July to all Americans all over the world. Contrary to what we hear in the news we love you.....

This morning i worked and interviewed our artist of the month of July 07, Adi Rani. Yes ... talk about how he become a singer. Very interesting, and wonder how he met his wife? Well, i got all the stories.....Very interesting. And girls, he is already married. Born in 1979 and married with Jil on the 1st April 07. Yes recently. Great voice and knows what he wants. Wish you all the best.

And as for all the invitations i received for whoever is getting married this Saturday, sorry i cant attend lah. I am working in KB. I was wondering why you all are getting married this Saturday... rupanya its 7.7.07....... Pandai.

After work, i went out with Anne of Rimba. Bought her a soft toy Giraffe. Cute. She was wondering who its for. I told her i wanted to give it to someone. And before i sent her home, i gave her that Giraffe and she was very very happy. I like that. She took a picture of it, and i have to ask her for that pic for this blog. Cute..Cute...

Pick up my son from granny. And reach home quite late. Been out since 10am this morning and work at 1pm to 5pm. Off jalan with Anne to bandar, then mall. Ramai berabiz orang di Mall. Now i am ready to sleep.

I have a morning shift tomorrow. Of course with Lydia at 6am to 10am. Untill then.... nyte...

Sean Ghazi (semalam) - I HAVE DREAMED

Oh i love this album. If only i could see this singer in person, singing... wow.. wonderful. I just love his voice. The way he sang.... like SINATRA'S style, like P.RAMLEE's style. Smooth....... In my car i was listening to TT Dj's album. Slow and steady, flash back of me, my life 5 years back. Being human, i weren't able to see what's coming along in my life, thought i did. But not. I guess everybody's like that. I don't regret it. It made me who i am ryte now. Now i must look for what's coming in my life and what am i, who am i going to be in 5 years. For all i can say now, i want to be close, closer with my mom, brothers and family. My family. Not quite sure about you... Just glad that i am still able to say that to myself and i want to make it happen. Its best to spend time with the one you love now, so you woun't regret it later.

like lyrics .... "sunggoh sayu, ku kenang peristiwa..." you know, that sort make the flash back of my life crawling all over my brain... imagine... whey you tune and listen to this kind of music, you start to think. Think of what? Questions in your head.... Answer it... oh well, yeah that's what i meant. Whatever i go through in life, i always whisper to myself "there got to be a better life out there, its just that i m not there yet. Patience is the key and don't ever give up....."

Pretty hot today. I've been out and about since this morning. Sending my son to school, visit Al-Islah, send my sis-inlaw back home, out lunch at kilanas Hua Ho food court, send my fren back to Lambak, out to town and finally home. Imagine i spend half a day out and about. And i see a lot. Wanted to write while driving, but no hands and other brain and extra body to do that. Concentration on the road is very much important. (ooooooo... Sean Ghazi singing now GETERAN JIWA.... tak mungkin hilang irama dan lagu.... I remember this song.... beautiful.. We can never pisah lagu dan irama, which is true. How ever you want to intrepret that..... :)

Car park @Al-Islah

News from Al-Islah tadi, one of the staff (nurse) pass away last Sunday. The accident in KB atu. His brother, wife and himself meninggal and his 2 children and pembantu rumah is ok condition except the pembantu rumah patah kaki. Al-Fatihah... semoga roh-roh mereka di tempatkan di sisi orang-orang yang beriman... Amin.... Now another lesson for us. Life is just way too short. I was sad again this morning when i hear the news, but again to me this is a sign telling us something, and it depends how you intrepret it.

I was talking to my fren about the accidents here in Brunei. How people drive. How we drive. I have few friends that died from car accidents. Then on my way back, betul-betul about 1 minute from my simpang another accident. Small truck melimpang and the bomba and police was there. I dont know what happen to the driver. And i didnt quite see with whom the truck langar with. We'll just have to read the BB or Media Permata for that. And also I forgot to bring my camera. There you go... i miss taking the picture. Otherwise i would have share it with you. Ada lagi accident happened on 12.6.07, petang at 2ish to3, the day Pelangi On-Stage, and here is the picture. That petang on my way to Taman Jubli for sound check with the Pelangi Crew. Long que kan masok simpang ani, rupanya ada accident. Well, i guess when we drive, kan keluar simpang like this, the driver at the back jangan tah gelojoh. Penting to liat kereta di depan dulu keluar then baru move. Jangan meliat ke kanan and inda meliat kereta di depan. Sometimes when i drive, especially there's a car infornt of us, must pay must pay a real attention. Seriously, sometimes we think the road is clear and we go, but the car infront of us dont think the way we do, and this happen. Get it... so kita beringat lah jua, jangan lalai. Even if we are careful, we bound to bump into those careless driver. They are not careless all the time, its just that day they are one careless *******!!!

(many stories to share, but less time lah.... need to sleep, shut my brain to get ready for work later for segmen BIRTHDAYS... JATUH CINTA... KAU DAN AKU..... ) yes... till next time. I m out. Btw, i love azeem's punya blog. Very interesting. Ada muzik lagi. How ah... still learning... I want eh like that... ha.a.a.a.a.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU CAN. LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOU ALL WHO READ THIS BLOG. WHEREEVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, THANK YOU FOR THE VISIT. COME AGAIN. TAKE CARE.

Luqman is back in Brunei - yesterday mid-afternoon

Yes, my baby is back. Came back yesterday at 3.40pm from Singapore. I was so very happy to see him. But he doesn't look happy. He told me that he lost his camera. The one i just bought for his birthday. Well he was really upset. And his teacher told me that he was scared that i might be angry.

Ok now. Where did i do wrong that i make him feel like that? I dont want my baby to be scared of me. I want him to be comfortable to tell me direct that he had lost his camera. I am upset a bit because i bought it for his birthday present and we lost all the pictures he had taken in Singapore, but then again, its only a camera. We lost the camera but I still have him. That is more important for me. So i dont want him to worry so much because i want him to know that i was happy to see him back. That's it.

So on the way back, to distract him from thinking of his camera, i talk to him and ask him how was his trip, his visits in Singapore. And i start to funny-ly and joke with him. He start to gigles and when we reach home, we unpacked his clothes from his big bag. So i set aside things he wore in Singapore for laundry and etc..... I told him to take a shower and wear a clean baju. So that evening i took him to see a movie, oh yes... Transformers... I've seen it already, and i just love it. I know if i didnt take him yesterday, i might not have the time to take him other times. Knowing my work schedule is full for this week.

Again watching the Transformer for the 2nd time is worth it. I just love it. Cool... 9.9/10. Must watch movie for this month. I was so very tired, but i want him to be happy that day. Ending up being sleepy, but before i sleep, at least i know he enjoyed the movie so much, and i know he is happy. That makes me happy. I am happy and looking forward for a better day ahead of us.......

Today i woke up and he is late for school. Its ok lah, he couldnt find his songkok. On the way, my fren call me. The one who had another pictures of us at the beach, telling me that while editing the computer crash. So a bit upset again, but oh...welll....... if the pictures are gone meaning no pictures saja lah. Then again, everyday is a challanging day to go through, so lets just be happy. DON'T WORRRY BE HAPPY...... Have a great day!!!
