Upclose & Personal With Dikny

Wow, it has been quite some time since I last wrote....sampai ada yang komplen blog ni tak update...hihihihi.... There are so many reasons as to why I haven't been updating this precious blog of mine... One of it is that my notebook went kaput....all my documents have gone with the wind, important documents, photos and even documents which are a matter of life and death have also disappeared.....sob..sob...If I need to surf the net, facebooking or blogging, I'll have to use my hubby's notebook now and frankly, I don't get that much opportunity..heheh...so, that's one concrete reason for not updating this blog so much... Alright, I would like to remind my readers out there to watch Tom Tom Bak on Astro Ceria every Sunday starting from this Sunday - 31 May 2009 at 12 pm.....As I have mentioned before, Danish is one of the talents for Jom Borak segment with Aznil in this programme. However, I do not know which episode would Danish be in, so we'll have to watch ever...

I've been a follower of some reality shows on our local tv channels. To me, some of these shows are indeed entertaining and somehow they can be a real eye-opener. Watching the contestants being challenged and commented all the time makes me wonder if they could actually endure such stressful and tensed moments. Their mental power must be strong to swallow everything calmly and peacefully. But only God knows what's been playing in their mind at that time and how their hearts must have been broken upon hearing such nasty and cruel comments....oh well, that's the part and parcel of being a reality tv show participant...i guess they just have to go through everything until the end...they have no choice, haven't they? Just now, I watched One In A Million Season 3. I've been a follower not from the beginning but since I watched Tomok sang 'Ingin Bersamamu' a few weeks ago. He really swept me off my seat watching him rendering the song smoothly in his own unique st...

It's been almost one month since I last blogged. Indeed I was busy like anything, so many things to do and so many missions to be accomplished.... There are many things and issues that I would like to blog about. Well, let's see...hmmm....why don't I start with my reading issue? Okay, if you have been following my blog, you'd know that I have an issue with reading. Reading is my hobby since young.....but with three heroes around, I found it extremely difficult to make the time to read anything at all..... However, now, I am proud to say that for the past two and a half months (I started on 26th January 2009), I have managed to read five novels and I am currently reading my sixth!!!! Is that an achievement or what? I, myself, was shocked to discover that I have read five books within three months....How did I manage to do that? Actually, it took my whole willpower to start on a book and somehow I couldn't stop since then. I could still remember clearly what Arwah She...

It's school holidays and it's also shooting days for Haiwan Teladan Season 2. The readers of my blog would surely understand what Haiwan Teladan was all about. Yes, my eldest, Danish, was one of the actors in this particular kids' show of TV3. After the success of Season 1, Danish was chosen again to act in Haiwan Teladan Season 2. When I first got the schedule, I was a little bit taken aback because the shooting would take place the whole week of school holidays including the weekends. And the time would be from 9 in the morning until around 7 in the evening. Wow, such a tight schedule for Danish but I was sure he could cope. Come rehearsal day which was yesterday, we went to the location as early as 8 as we were told to be on time. When the rehearsal started, I noticed that Danish was not as noisy and active as he used to be in the previous season. Even the producer and the compere noticed this. They came and asked me about Danish's 'unusual' behaviour. Well, ...

Yup, it's our 8th anniversary. So glad that we've made it this far....there have been ups and downs no doubt. Last year was the most challenging and yet, we've braved through it successfully, Alhamdulillah... Everything that happened had happened for a reason, I was sure of that. I've become more tolerant and more understanding now. I wish to be tougher and stronger in facing the many more years to come with my better half, there would definitely be more challenging encounters in the months and years ahead. But, heck, I'm going to face it all no matter what, InsyaAllah. To my hubby, Congratulations darling, we've come a long way and I love you. To my little heroes, Papa and Mama would always be together for you and be there whenever you need us. Love you all.

I know of a friend who got married to her very own best friend. During her wedding reception, on the dining table at the hotel, there was a lovely card entitled 'My Best Friend's Wedding'. Yup, it's her best friend's wedding who is also extremely lucky to be her beloved husband. It was quite a long poem creatively written by her and it was about how they met, became the best of friends and got married to one another after few years. How sweet! That is why I'm dedicating this very song here in my loyal blog to my dear good friend, Fira. LUCKY - JASON MRAZ Do you hear me, I’m talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh, Oooh ooh ooh ooh They don...

After I left the company, a good friend of mine left the company too but for a very different reason. It was too personal to blog about but I needed to tell you readers out there about this amazing friend of mine. She's my age with two adorable kids and a loving husband. I got to know her a few months after I joined the company. It was kinda late getting to know her because she was stationed at a different floor at that time. But we exchanged hellos and smiles every now and then. When she was transferred to the same floor with me, we somehow got to know each other better. There were not many colleagues of our age at the office, only 6 of us and we were not that young anyway, the office was full of younger generation, those who had just graduated and fresh. This made me feel closer to her compared to the other colleagues. To tell the truth, she seemed to understand myself better than the others. Age could be the most logical reason. Also, it was because she's the type of person ...

It's only my second day of being a homemaker and yet I already have my hands full. Yup, there are clothes to be folded, three rooms to clean plus a room to overhaul (haha!), a sink to polish, two business proposals to complete and a book to read...wow!!! I'm going to face an extremely hectic week ahead..... BUT, hey, hey, hey, I'm not complaining.....those are all my job now and I'm getting paid for executing them...heheh.... Well, I miss my staff and my friends at the office so much.....and I'm sure I'm going to miss them a lot now....but as I've told them before, they can always find me everywhere on the net - Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Blog...they can even give me a tinkle anytime if they want to....gosh, I hope they miss me too...

Dear readers, Today is my first official day of being a homemaker. Something which I have looked forward to for years and finally, here I am, ready to play the role of a fulltime wife, mother and daughter. Not that I didn't do any of those things before but now I'm doing all these on fulltime basis without having to share my time with office people, clients, etc, etc..... Am I happy? Of course, in fact, I feel so relieved. Why? Those who are close to me know that I have been in the corporate world for 11 solid years. Some people wouldn't believe the way I worked because I really put all effort in whatever I was doing. I didn't mix personal with professional...personal is personal and professional is professional. I was thankful that I managed to separate these two all this while..... Whenever was given a task, I would definitely put my full thoughts, energy and passion in it until it became a success. There were failures and hiccups along the way, no doubt, but I would ...

Today is my last day at the office. Frankly, up till now, I still haven't finished packing yet....not that there're many things to bring back home, it's just that somehow I feel a bit lazy to start packing. Luckily, I have a diligent staff who's been helping out since morning. Now that it's lunchtime, still there're many things left untouched....gotta wait till after lunch.... I'll update later....

While driving during one lovely morning, my inner thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. It was my hubby calling and he sounded excited which was quite unusual of him especially at such hours of the day. Well, being a good and loyal wife, I attentively listened to him. He told me that he had found a new rock ballad from Guns & Roses (GnR)...our favourite.....well, well, now he got my full attention.... It's been quite a while since GnR produced rock ballads after November Rain, Patience and Don't Cry. I've been waiting for more rock ballads from them and now that my hubby found it, I got all goosebumps over me...heheh... Once I reached the office, I practically almost ran to my room and tried to look for the song. But, being a thoughtful hubby, my hubby had already posted the song for me. I turned on the speaker and enjoyed the melodious song especially the piano part. I would definitely play it on my piano... And I'm sure my hubby's quietly dedicating it to...

I spent my days recently reading other people's blogs. People whom I know and also those whom I do not know at all. That's the beauty of it - blogging makes you explore what other people all around the world think and feel. Many people have their own blogs nowadays. They called it the 'in' thing. I started blogging since 2004. At that time, blog was not too widely-known. I got to know about blog accidentally when I was busy reading an interesting thread in a local forum community. I began exploring and I signed up after being extremely curious about it. I noticed that people treated blogs as their journals or diaries at that time. So, I did the same. My blog was used to pour out my feelings and my opinion on things that I encountered during the day. I blogged everyday back then without fail but as usual, after a while, I began to ignore my blog and only posted entries whenever I felt like it. Now, blogging has become a lifestyle. If you do not blog, you are not updating...

And now I don’t know why She wouldn’t say goodbye But then it seems that I Had seen it in her eyes And it might not be wise I’d still have to try With all the love I have inside I can’t deny I just can’t let it die Cause her heart’s just like mine And she holds her pain inside So if you ask me why She wouldn’t say goodbye I know somewhere inside There is a special light Still shining bright And even on the darkest night She can’t deny So if she’s somewhere near me I hope to God she hears me There’s no one else could ever make me feel I’m so alive I hoped she’d never leave me Please God you must believe me I’ve searched the universe and found myself Within her eyes No matter how I try They say it’s all a lie So what’s the use of my Confessions to a crime Of passions that won’t die In my heart So if she’s somewhere near me I hope to God she hears me There’s no one else could ever make me feel I’m so alive I hoped she’d never leave me Please God you must believe me I’ve searched the univ...

Dear readers, Sorry for the long silence. Been up and down with so many things in hand and head... I guess this entry would not be long either since I've got to run in a few minutes' time. I know it might be too late to wish everyone Happy Awal Muharram and also Happy New Year 2009 but I want to go ahead with the wishes. I could sense that 2009 would be more challenging and happier. I've made a big decision for the sake of my children and family and I know I've made the right choice ever. I'll blog about this issue soon, I promise. In the meantime, Danish has enrolled in Primary 1 at SK Taman Melawati 2. After the streaming process, he managed to be in the first class out of eight. He is now in Primary 1 Murni. Being an active boy that he is, he often attracts the attention of people around him and after being in school for only 2 weeks, you can only imagine the things that he has created...hahaha....and I'll blog about this soon, too.... Ok, so many things to s...

Ever since Jom Heboh TV3 made its debut a few years ago, I didn't bother to go and have a visit at what the event had to offer. However, last Sunday, I made my first ever appearance at Jom Heboh TV3 at Bukit Jalil. At first, I planned to go with my eldest in the morning but at the very last minute, my other half wanted to tag along. But we decided that it's best if we could drop by my parents' and 'tumpang' my other two little heroes there. Luckily, my parents were available and off we went. The junction to Bukit Jalil National Stadium was jam-packed by the time we arrived. Anyhow, we managed to park the car at the parking lot nearby. The weather was not bad and it's not too hot. There were many canopies around with many goods on sale. I went to Lady's Choice canopy and bought a bag of goodies which consists of a big bottle of peanut butter, original mayonnaise, cubes of tomyam paste, cubes of chicken stocks and a piece of tupperware. Everything in with only...

As I have mentioned earlier, Danish went for an audition of Tom Tom Bak few weeks ago. Yesterday afternoon, I received a phone call from Astro congratulating me because Danish had passed the audition. I was happy, of course, knowing for a fact that Danish would certainly grin from ear to ear when I passed down this piece of good news to him. I straight away called home and too bad Danish was sleeping. So, I told my father instead about the news and he promised that he would tell Danish once he woke up. When I got home later in the evening, I quickly told Danish about it and as usual (I should have expected it!!!), his expression was expressionless!!!! He nodded as if the news didn't matter much to him...well, that's my boy, ladies and gentlemen...Danish with his 'as-if-nothing-happens' attitude...hihi.. The details of the next step are: 16 December 2008 at 2:00pm, fitting baju at Astro 27 December 2008 at 2:00pm, shooting at Wisma Ali Bawal, PJ The staff told me that Az...

For the past three days I was suffering from a bad pain somewhere in between my cervix and bikini line. Whenever I walked, the pain throbbed and at times, I had to topple while walking. At the office yesterday morning, the pain was getting worse, and I decided to go and see my gynae. I took the time off from office and I thought since the doctor was an extremely busy gynae, it's better if I gave the clinic a call first. When I called, the nurse mentioned that there were way too many patients waiting and she couldn't slot me in. Alright then, I guess I'd have to make do with another doctor who was not a specialist at a different clinic. My hubby waited for me and we went to the clinic together. I described my pain to her and she asked me to lie down for an ultrasound scanning. She kept on pressing the device on my over-bloated tummy (after 3 kids, what do you expect? hihi) trying to locate if there's anything weird inside... She was trying hard to see and I was trying ha...

The moment I got into my car this morning, my mind drifted away back to the times when everything was colourful and cheerful. Various images played in front of me...happy moments, unforgettable gestures, loving gazes, etc appeared as if playing a movie in my eyes..... My heart was beating fast and I knew I was not concentrating on my driving because I just couldn't focus. My chest felt tight and heavy and tears threatened to fall down. Crying was my best friend nowadays, that's the only source of escape which I knew would make me feel better for a while. Upon reaching the office, I had to literally drag my feet and body to climb up the stairs and unlock my room. I had nice big glass window panels in my room and the view was quite breathtaking, I could see greens and people rushing to get to work on time. I just stood there looking outside silently and wishing that things would be back to normal soon. It has got to be just like how it was before. I tried my best to put aside my ...

Ayat-Ayat Cinta : Rossa Desir pasir di padang tandus Segersang pemikiran hati Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit Bila keyakinan ku datang Kasih bukan sekadar cinta Pengorbanan cinta yang agung Ku pertaruhkan Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita Cinta ku pada mu Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta Ketika ku bersujud We’ve been married for seven years now. There have been countless ups and downs that we have braved through. As some friends had said, we were the perfect couple. However, lately, things had not been too good. Everything was arguable and there’d been times when our voices could compete with the lightning and thunder high up in the sky. Frankly, this year was the most challenging so far in the seven years we’ve been together. And this year has seen many drastic changes in the life cycle of our marriage. Life ha...
