It's another kenduri at the Alias-Safiah mansion..

Iqbal's (welcome to the family, kiddo!) cukur jambul..



and doa selamat for the two boys before berkhatan.. ( I can still remember how Farhan was so excited; jumping and screaming "Yeay, Pa'an nak sunat! Yeay!")

I was looking forward for this family gathering (you're part of the family Ita, yes you are!)

another three weeks before my long awaited winter hols.. 2-weeks, shud be grateful enuff that atleast I had the chance for a breather. anyway, here's what have been occupying me mind these past few days..

Let the pictures speak for themselves..

And I'll always smile when looking at them

Such a brilliant day outdoor, with such great company

Plus, the thought that we shud be shedding off some fat .. heaven!
Credits to our beloved Miss Photographer.. PARG!!!!! (still can't believe she took 179 pics all together wif my camera)

Yes, i stayed in Leicester this time around. Cukuplah raye in London last year. Different.. that's how we do it over here.
Surprisingly it's been even more hectic than in Malaysia, I'd say. I'm sure if I'm wif the family, we'll be knackered and retreated in front of the telly by late afternoon. Surely a couple rounds of playing cards might do the trick.. gosh, I miss them so much.
Nevertheless, Ibu dearest would be glad to know that her firstborn had fantastic time over here; never ending food and salam raya

SERENE.. enuff said bout Cambridge!

It has been a while since I got into fights with her;
sometimes it's about wanting the same tudung,
at times about nagging her for not doing things my way,
yet, I missed them all the same.

She might be sixteen, still like a baby, dreamy and what not,
nevertheless, she's fine and special in every single ways.
So much that I want to guard her from the dark side of reality,
but I guess,
I must learn to lessen my grip,
and stay by the sidelines,
cheering for her,
offering support
whenever she needs them....



It has been long since we hugged each other;
consoling one another, embraced by the special bond we share
celebrating one another, achieving dreams after working like there's no end.

Beyond the distance between us
my prayers are ceaselessly with her
that all her efforts are blessed by the Almighty
that insya Allah, she'll shine as always.

All the very best, my ever baby sista.. my duas and love are for you as always...

p/s : .. I asked Danu for his art works.. hehehe.. apekan daya, this sister of yours can only lukis org lidi!!

The town was crowded with people as usual. Adorable babies in their buggies, pushed by insanely young mothers. Sweet old couples holding hands amidst the sea of people, with M&S bags dangling over the arms.
And of course....
The group of gothicly-dressed, angry-looking teenagers. With skateboards by their sides.
But, why on earth must they keep shouting to each other while standing in a foot's distance????

Instead, I escaped and found peace at this place that never fails to induce euphoria in me.
