Reviving My Travels: Chapter 1

I have been so lucky to have a chance to see the world, and by world I mean about 16 countries out of a total of 195 countries in the world. Not bad but not yet reached the jet-setter level but I am lucky as compared to many others who do not have the opportunity. I travel for work and sometimes we, my husband and I, make our conscious effort to save money for our travels. Travel is one of our main priorities. I think travel builds character. Things you see on other people's lands are humbling experiences and shopping is always a good experience. :P 

 Germany: Back from grocery shopping. They practice paper bag or no bag at all. You don't bring your own shopping bags, that's your problem, isn't it? 


Germany: Just bought a pair of high-heel boots that I couldn't wear because the snow came down for the rest of the trip. Bummer. But the snowy experience was awesome. 

 Germany: Kebab is THE food for Muslim traveler like myself. Fish and chips also is in the list. Kebab overseas have A LOT OF MEAT! Awesome!

Danger Point. Gold Coast Australia: MasyaAllah, God is Great. Look at that gorgeous blue sea. I fell in love with this place, really hard. :)

Danger Point. Gold Coast Australia: The clean green grass was so inviting, matched with the blue skies and snow white clouds... sometimes it feels surreal to watch the beauty in the world. 

Stratford-Upon-Avon, England - I'm a big fan of flowers and I would love to see sea of lavenders or tulips but for now, I settled for a few batangs dulu. Somehow, flowers overseas look lovelier. The flowers are always prettier on the other side, eh?


Shakespears Cottage, Stratford-upon-Avon, England - It's a pleasure to see really old buildings taken care of by the Government for history and tourism.  

Kings Park, Perth Australia - Oh this place is so nice, I could come here often. In fact, I'm going there again June this year! They have varieties of wild flowers exclusively from Australia and they are gorgeous. Weird, wild but uniquely pretty. 
Farmers' Markets, London - Oyster is a yes, yes, yes!!! I met the same vendor near the Tower of London and the next day at the Farmers' Markets. The lady gave me one free oyster for stalking them. :P

Desert, Dubai - Couldn't imagine how they could stay in the desert for days! I couldn't stand the sand for just 15 mins. Sand everywhere, in my shoes, my socks... Tried the 4WD and these drivers have mad skills. 

Medan, Indonesia - Wedding congratulatory 'card's. Apparently, they did not accept regular wedding cards. 

Nami Island, South Korea - Autumn in Korea is super gorgeous! Leaves in different colors.. just breathtakingly beautiful!

Bosphorus River Bank, Istanbul, Turkey: Fish has never tasted so good, I had a fish sandwich near the bank and it's delish! I've never thought I would be lucky enough to set my foot in this history rich country and it's worthwhile!




Shanghai, China - Foggy just like Chinese paintings, that's what China looks like. :) I don't understand Chinese and I found walking around in places where alphabets are not important, a bit disturbing.

American Idol 10: My Most and Least Favorites

It's the time of the year and I'm ready with my snacks on the sofa and a cup of coffee on the side table every 8pm on Thursday and Friday for my dose of American Idol. Simon leaving American Idol made everybody wondered how the 10th season would fare without him. I am a fan of Aerosmith and naturally I don't have any problem with Steven Tyler. In fact, Tia kinda like him for no apparent reason. She'd say "I like this boy", everytime she sees him on tv. (Secretly praying that she'd not have a taste for oldeeeeer men) Nothing much could be expected of the Dawg, could we? And I'm afraid I couldn't stand the sound of J.Lo talking. 

After a few weeks Star World being showed on tv, I have to say, they have made American Idol fresh again! Steven is a breath of fresh air (it doesn't feel right, does it?), Randy is fierce and ruthless this season, and Jennifer Lopez is such a sweetheart. Great choice after I-despise-the-way-her-body-move-when-giving-critique-Kara and Left-too-soon-Ellen. This week we will know who'll be making the top 24 and I have a few who are my favorite this far. Unfortunately, none of them is a girl. Sorry gals.. need to watch more of you first.

Simple Gestures, Big Positive Impact on Relationship


For better, for worse, til death do us part, insyaAllah. The fact is, there's no deadline in a marriage, you can't go into it thinking that if it doesn't work, there'll always be an exit. There's an exit but that should be your last choice after you have tried your best and nothing but the best. Relationship needs efforts, collective efforts from both parties to make it interesting, working, exciting. We don't need to play it big all the time, treating your partner with expensive dinners, gifts, vacations, etc. I don't say I don't welcome that but relationship is life and life has 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and it has many number of years. Appreciating one another everyday would bring us closer together than expensive gifts and treats we receive a few times a year. Let's practice giving our partners simple gestures in our daily lives and tell them we do care.   


Women Are Not Born With Superpowers
If you think that it's natural for a wife to cook, to take care of you and your children, to wash and iron clothes of the entire family, to clean the house, to provide you sex while looking gorgeous at the same time and maintain great relationship with your entire family, you need help. I don't say that we cease to do all that but we are not born superhumans equipped with superpowers. While we could do some or all of the above, we need you to notice our efforts. Simple gestures such as thank you is very much appreciated. My husband never forget to say thank you after a meal is served or a coffee is made for him, that makes me feel good. Or better still, you could train yourself to say "Anything I could help you with?". Repeat after me.. "Anything...


Yes I Do... This, And You Do... That
We share our lives and a house together so we should somehow share our chores, shouldn't we? Do not make your spouse resent you because you let her do all the chores by herself. Right after the wedding, many wives want to impress their husbands by wanting to do everything. See, I'm your perfect choice. Wait 2-3 years, they gonna resent you thinking you are a jerk who doesn't help.  Split the tasks earlier on to make sure you know your responsibilities. Sometimes husbands want to help but don't know how and don't want to ask.How about.. meals, laundry, child - wife, clean house, toilet, take out trash - husband. And please wifey, don't look when your husband is doing the chores. Your husbands might not do it right but at the end of the day, you want the job done. An extra set of hands is gold.


It's Never Funny To Mock Your Honey
I have heard a lot of stories where one tease leads to a slight mockery which then balloons to downright rude remarks. Don't start disrespecting your spouse by saying something not nice about him or her. "You'd never fit an M. Look at your big ass." That kinda talking must not leave your mouth at all. Don't joke about his/her body, appearance, it's just tasteless. Since the day I said yes to marrying him, my husband never once makes me feel miserable about myself. Seriously. He knows that I have my own mirror so I don't need convincing in that area. And please refrain yourself from undermining your spouse in public, it just makes you look like an inconsiderate idiot. 


Caressing Is Caring
Don't underestimate the power of touching. It's soothing, it's love, it's comforting. We spend a lot of times in front of the television and it doesn't hurt to hold your spouse's hands or caressing him/her. Simple touch conveys overwhelming love than a basket of flowers. And it goes both ways. A nice foot massage from a hubby is a nice way to say thank you for a nice dinner you cook. You don't need to be a masseur, a nice rub on the sole is sufficient. 


Ignore the How, Just Enjoy It
A lot of people concern about the process of doing than the result of what's been done. For me, the process should be inside a black box. As long as I get the things done, that's what matter.  My husband wants his clothes pressed and ready to wear, that's what I provide. My husband wants his meals cooked and ready to eat, that's what I provide. So what if I cook Ragu with a little extra garlic I chopped by myself. What matter is, the Bolognese sauce is perfect. So, what if somebody else iron my clothes, is that a sin? :) So, if you want your house clean, do not watch how your husband does it, just enjoy the clean tiles after. 


A marriage is not a smooth-sailing journey on a calm ocean, enjoy the sail and let's work as a team all the time to keep the ship afloat because the marriage-ship has no destination to anchor.

Unstoppable: A Cool Choice


I'm not into action movies, I'm a drama-mama. I love watching dramas, not making dramas in my life though.  Didn't have much expectation for Unstoppable but this movie has Denzel Washington, based on true events and it's about a train. It could NOT be lame, could it? 

The story is straightforward. An unmanned train is going towards the city carrying hazardous-explosive-materials, and a slide derail could cause a catastrophe to the highly populated city in Pennslyvania. Two train workers, Denzel and Chris Pine are trying to stop the train. Somehow, as a moviegoer, you know that the city is going to be safe and these two are going to become heroes. It's all about the journey, and not the destination, and I'm telling you the journey is EX-CITE-TING!

I like the camera works, it makes you cringe in suspense! This is a race against time and as the 777 train picks up speed, your adrenaline rushes in!  But why do they need too many useless police cars around? Are they going to build a wall that could stop the train or what? Just stay in your stations and eat your donuts please, officers! And the presence of a helicopter on top of the train while Chris Pine is trying to tie the trains together is not helping also, is it? Helicopter blows strong wind, so .... please can you shoo! But overall, I think this is a cool movie to watch.

10 Things Women Need To Know About Guys



Dear Women, please accept that men came from a different planet than us. If we are not so different, we might not be attracted to one another at all (this might not apply to all of us). If we know about them better, we might be able to live a better and happier life. So stop fighting them... understand them and have fun along the way. 

1. Please Know What You Want - This is our (women) biggest problem. We don't know what we want! We know what we don't want but we are not really sure of what we want. Man: Do you want to have pizza? Woman: Not really Man: Let's have kebab then. Woman: I don't think I want kebab. Man: Oooookay... what do you feel like having? Woman: Hmm.. I don't know, what about you? (And start that conversation from the beginning and continue a few laps until the man made the decision that the woman hated but followed anyway because the woman did not know what she wanted). Urgh! Exasperating. If we know what we want, life is so much easier for both gender, isn't it?

2. Attending An Opportunity Doesn't Mean He's Gonna Cheat or He Is Cheating On You - Why in the world that women do not give permissions for their husbands or boyfriends to enjoy free trips that they (women) are not included. Just because you cannot go, you stop him from going or if he went anyway, you'd make him feel guilty for the rest of his life. What's up with that? How is that fair? Stop thinking about you, let them enjoy the opportunity while he could, and you enjoy yours. My colleague told me.... No way I'm gonna join the company trip to Korea, my wife will nag me for so long, RM4000 worth of travel isn't worth it! 

3. Football, Basketballs and Wresting are Their Soaps - Women are so disturbed by their spouses watching sports, people make advertisements about it. You watch your soap operas, Korean drama, TV3 soaps, E!, So You Think You Can Dance, etc everyday and when the sports day (Saturday) come, you pull a long face? Why-lah? Give 'em a break! Now, make some tea, grab a book and read something, woman!

4. They React Better When They Are Fed - Do not leave your men roaming around the house empty stomach. It'd do no good to anyone. What you can control is the amount of food and the quality they consume but the fact that they need food to behave properly cannot be denied. 

5. They Want Sex Everyday -This is so true, nothing but true so help us God. There are times when they are afraid to make their moves but believe me, it's in their mind everyday... secretly hoping that we signal a green light. 

6. They Don't Hide Underlying Meaning, Anywhere - Guys are so straightforward, their minds do not do layers. (Maybe they do layers when they are cheating but other than that... no layers).They mean 'fine' when they say 'fine'. Woman: What do you want for the anniversary? Man: Don't buy me anything. Woman: (He must want something special) Man: (Don't buy me anything, or perhaps a sexy nurse costume *wink*)  
Another example, Woman: Could you help me to buy 2 bottles of milk? Man: Ok (went to the shop, grabbed 2 bottles of milk and went home) If the situation was reversed. Man: Could you help me to buy 2 bottles of milk? Woman: OK (Went to the shop, grabbed 4 bottles of milk, 3 bottles of orange juice, 4 kit kats, 2 coca cola, 3 Super Rings and the total bill could break a junior account)

7. They Like Attention - If you ignore your man, there are many out there who would pay attention. Trust me. The trick with men is, pay attention to them. They are boys, they want you to adore him, make him feel special. Do as what you want him to do to you and he will return the favor. He might not look like The Rock but neither are you Gisele Bundchen. 

8. Their Dream of Becoming A Rock Star Hasn't Gone Away After All These Years - I'm not KIDDING!! Let them alone in the car while rock CD is playing and you can see the rockstar wannabe making an appearance. They think they can still pull a gig though they have touched the big FOR TEE. 

9. They Love Their Kids - Women always underestimate the love guys have for their kids. They might not be Father of The Year materials but their hearts are softer when the kids are around. Appreciate that. 

10. The Trash Can Wait Five Minutes -  Do not nag. Please don't. Whatever you ask them to do, say it properly and wait. Taking trash out in the middle of a football game is not exactly encouraging. Asking them to go to the shop in the middle of the night when he's resting would require some motivation on his part. And again, don't nag. It's a  major turn-off. 

Children Have Hearts -- If You Hadn't Noticed This Fact

I heart you

I am blessed to have a child. She's the best thing that has ever happened in my life. Every time I look at her, I couldn't believe my luck. She's a bonus and perfect in every way possible. I'm her mother, this is how I feel. I'm not a perfect mother to her but I'm striving to be because I want her to get the best out of life, I want her to be happy, I want her life to turn out exactly the way she wants it to be. We, my husband and I, are trying our best to be awesome parents for Tia, no matter what. 


The thing that most adults do not seem to notice is the fact that children have feelings, they have hearts. Yeah, they cry, yes they laugh, of course they shout because they are kids. Yes it's true... but the better way to put it, is because they have hearts that could feel. Words could hurt, believe me. We (adults) should know better than that. I had witnessed many instances where adults did not seem to care about how the kids feel at all. Oh... they are just kids! You think?!! What if I say the same things to you. My husband taught me the importance to respect our kid since she was very young. It doesn't mean that we give her whatever she wants whenever she wants it... it's about listening to what she has to say and providing an answer and action if necessary. To let her know that she matters. We lead by example and hopefully Tia is respectful to us throughout our lives. 


One day Tia came back from the babysitter's house and asked me was she fat? I was shocked to learn that she's concerned about this topic. I don't wanna be fat, I like a slim body, she told me. Well I do too but kids shouldn't worry about this issue at all! She's just 7 and.... not fat at all. Was it fun to poke fun at children? "Kau cantik ke?"... "Kau tak cantiklah..." "Eleh.. perasan lah tu..." Don't you ever tell any kids that she/he is not pretty. That would tear her apart inside. I was told that fact when I was young and it took me years to regain my self confidence. I'm not crazy beautiful but everybody is pretty in a unique way. It's just unfair to make fun of things you couldn't change. Every girl loves pink and wants to be a princess and please respect that. 


Don't compare your kids just because you can. Don't embarrass your children just because you can. Don't embarrass any kids just because you can. If you are the kind of people who are not fond of kids, leave them alone. They have hearts, they know how you feel about them and this feeling stays with them for years. I had seen cases where kids were called idiots, slapped in public, scolded in front of people, and parents please... this has got to stop. These kids have hearts, and these small hearts would grow larger and the seed that you plant today will grow into something nasty in the future. 


Everything starts at home. We are the parents. We should be their rock in anyway possible. They should know in their minds and their hearts that they could turn to us for anything, even if it hurts. Tell your kids that you love them and be there when they need you. InsyaAllah, they will grow up as wholesome adults. 

Easy A: Easy On the Eyes


I've always been a fan of movies that have narration, as I feel closer to the person telling the story. Easy A is that kind of movie and Emma Stone, is as cool as a cucumber in this one. She plays Olive Penderghast, a good high school girl gone bad in this movie directed by John Hughes, popular for his Home Alone trilogy. She narrates heavily throughout this movie about how her reputation was ruined for the lies that she told, started with the one she told her best friend. Everybody's convinced that she's a tramp and she has to set the record straight to win the heart of a boy she likes. I bet a lot of people could relate with this movie for high school experience and issues are almost similar worldwide. In Malaysia for example, we are made to wear uniform to school but nobody have any control over students' big mouth. And I believe now is even worse than when i was in school dinosaur years ago with the availability of social networks to spread the news faster. 

I really like Olive's parents in this movie, I think on some level parents need to chill a bit. Kids make mistakes. They do. We all did. Understanding and leniency are necessary to gain trust and respect from our children. When we build that connection with our children, they will return to us for solace and comfort. The overly-religious group of students will always be in high-school no matter where you are and Amanda Bynes as Marianne is irritatingly good! You can't be in heaven if you keep on judging people, you know. Haha! 

Emma Stone shines in this movie, not in Natalie Portman's Black Swan way but in her own cool way. For an easy watch, I highly recommend Easy A.

Aftershock, The Great Chinese Movie & Jay Chou Better Stay in Chinese Movie

My husband told me that he's going to watch a movie about earthquake. I suppose he'd told me earlier about this movie but my mind works in a mysterious way. I was picturing a documovie about an earthquake in China so I was feeling so-so about it. 10 mins into the movie I was hooked. 30 minutes into the movie, I had a box of tissue on my lap and as the movie went on, I was a mess! A mother was made to choose between saving her son or her daughter and losing the other. And she chose the son, believing that the daughter was dead. The Great Tangshan Earthquake of 1976 took the lives of nearly a quarter of a million Chinese and this movie's premise is the life after that quake. The injured girl woke up to find her father dead besides her and that her mother and brother had abandoned her. She's adopted by an army couple who didn't know anything about her past. 32 years after, another earthquake brought this family together in the most heart-wrenching scene ever. A daughter believed her mother had chosen his brother over her, and a mother who believed that her beloved daughter had died for 32 years. And the movie also depicted the unconditional love of an adopted family to the victim of the earthquake.

On another tone, I was really disappointed to spend time and money on The Green Hornet in Gold Class with my husband. I never thought the movie could be this bad. This is a movie about a son (Seth Rogen) of a newspaper mogul who wanted to be a badass but at the same time wanted to be a good guy (confuse confuse). First, what had the father done to him to make him hate the father so much until he decapitated the father's statue in the cemetery? Just because your father threw the head of your action figure into the dustbin, it doesn't mean that he's a jerk. Maybe you are a jerk! Then entered Kato (Jay Chou)... the father's mechanic. Apparently, he was also forced to make good coffee for the son -- that's why he hated his master so much? What a wuss!!  Then these two whiners plan to get some justice (for what?) and the series of stupidity continued.The movie plots were so weak I didn't know where to begin. A superhero who's not good at anything. A villain who's not good enough to be a badass. A sidekick who couldn't mutter anything correctly. Seriously folks, Jay Chou can't act in English!!!! Even one simple line he couldn't deliver properly. I could give him a break for his mother tongue is clearly NOT English but the acting....? who's going to defend you for THAT? Better stick to what you know best, watching movies and singing Chinese songs. You are not ready to take on Hollywood no matter how cool you think you are!
And please please please do not make The Green Hornet sequel..... I beg of you.

Once You Shoe Shop, You Can Never Stop!

Once you shoe shop, you can never stop!   
This is the rhyme you should teach your daughter when she's growing up. Don't you start rolling your eyes there.. it's true! Been trying to walk away from it all but after 5 mins I came back with more shoes to drool after. It's not weird, it's genetic! Women are born with genes that like to buy shoes! Blame it on biology. When you have RM300 to spend the entire month, you still want to set aside RM35 for a pair of shoes. Blink your eyes if it's true. Thank you. 


I love high-heel shoes, I love boots, I love stilettos. Aaaaaahhhh.. they are sexy, gorgeous, inviting. Aldo is one of my favorite brands but I must admit that I have a foot that's larger than another. Aldo always makes one of my feet suffers. I love the heels of Aldo shoes but the prices are  on the high side and the fact that the shoes make my feet uncomfortable makes me guilty buying them. So for now... I don't deny my craving.. I walk inside the shop, make one round, stop for a while, take a deep breath and step out. 

The other brand which I think quite nice is Nine West. The price is not bad but you can't find anything under RM100, the shoes are comfortable depending on which one you choose, but sometimes I find it hard to find designs I like. But when I found one, it's REALLY a beaut. 

The other good brand that caught my eyes was Charles & Keith. I first stumbled upon this brand when I was in Medan and I bought one pair which i didn't wear until today because the heels are too clunky, I didn't know what I was thinking at that time. The Charles & Keith stores are now open in Malaysia and I've bought a few from this brand. The heels are sexy, the prices are even sexier and the designs are OMG!! Yesterday I almost bought a few pairs until I saw the sparks in my husband's eyes that said .... think mama... think for our future and the size of our shoe rack. I ended up buying one Gladiator inspired heels with golden studs. (Look at the pic above) Isn't it just gorj????  I have my eyes on a few boots and stilettos of Charles & Keith. Maybe if I can put some in my car's boot for a while.....

Shoes are very important accessories for women and men. They can make or break fashion! Look at the shoes Blake Lively wear in these photos. They could make my heart skips a beat. So... shall we make a song out of "Once you shoe shop, you can never stop.."?

Interesting Thomas Sabo!

I'm in love with Thomas Sabo's charms. They are well-crafted, cute, stylish, relevant. Mix and match the charms according to your mood and I don't think you can get them wrong. You can put 30 charms or you can choose only 5. It's all really up to you. For a start, you only need a charm bracelet and a few charms. Add one or two charms a month and by the end of the year, you're going to have a lot of different charms to play with. There are many other brands who do charms but I don't think they are as good as Thomas Sabo's. 



My husband surprised me lately with Thomas Sabo's watch. Didn't know they had watches but let me tell you, it's gorgeous! Exactly the watch I like. The case is stainless steel 33mm, with white synth and round zirconia around the bezel. The dial is white mother of pearl and the strap is made of black satin. Since my wardrobe is full of black, this watch is a match made in heaven.  Thanks, love. For a full line of Thomas Sabo's products, click here.  In KL, the store i know is in Pavillion. 


iPad Apps I Love

Technology is amazing. I was there when the computer screen was green and the popular chat program was IRC. It was fun then, and it's mind blowing now. After the iPod and the iPhone, Steve Jobs decided to have something closer to women, the iPad. It's no denying that the iPad is making its way into our lives. With iPad, we can practically surf and chat while we're doing our business in the toilet. Many argue about the size, the name, the price but everybody wants it, do'n't cheat yourself. But the thing about iPad, without the Apps, it's useless. If you don't own a credit card and you want to buy an iPad, it's gonna be a problem. Contact your bank to apply for a credit card before you march down to the Epi Center. So what's the best iPad Apps so far for me?


Cut the Rope - This app is addictive. For a start, you need a good brain to play this game, which is challenging to many, I guess. :) The game is simple to play. Cut the correct ropes, collect the stars and feed the green creature with candy. But there are a lot of obstacles along the way. There are 5 default boxes being delivered to your doorstep and the latest one is the Valentine Box. It's awesome to gauge how your brain works and it's pure satisfaction to watch this creature chomps the candy... nom..nom..nom..




Need For Speed Hot Pursuit - This game has been in the game world forever but iPad takes it to another level with HD and smooth navigation. You can play cop or villain at any time. The best experience would require you to plug earphones and enjoy the chase. This game is pure adrenaline. A must-buy.




Glee - For those who think that your voice worth something, buy this App. Word of caution: The App is USD0.99 and you get 2 free songs and every additional song would cost you USD0.99 or about RM3. Anyhow, it's cheaper than karaoke. With Glee you can record your voice over a minus one and then broadcast it around the world. Go crazy with Glee or drive the world crazy with your voice, if you have a voice like me. :P






Pottery - A very calming App. Create, burn, decorate and sell your pottery online. It's not real so don't expect to gain real money from this App but do it when you need emotional therapy. 




Kobo - The book selection is not a vast as Amazon's kindle but it's still a good choice for now, the font selection as well but still. Purchase and download are made easy with Kobo. Kindle is still not available in Malaysia so shoosh and a note to Amazon... why so late lah?
