What is your lucky charm? July 6, 2009
Posted by kuemri in by kuemri.add a comment
The first of the busy weekends of July now unravelled… Yuni spent her first weekend in Kerteh last week for the BPC Family Day (or is it Family Olympic?) in Awana Kijal Golf, Beach & Spa Resort which took place on Saturday. And it also was our first family day of us as a couple =). Sure there are a lot people in BPC! It must have been some time since i joined a large scale of family day like this, last time i recall was in the 90s when my family joined Petronas Family Day in Padang Lumba Kuda Jalan Ampang which now where the twin tower sprouted. After that Bapak join OGP and family day afterwards were more localized to OGP staffs only.
It was a good day in Awana. We, under the banner of Agogo, together with Yuni’s officemates, joined Sand Castle Contest and Mini Treasure Hunt. We didn’t win the treasure hunt but striked third place in sand castle, which was quite a surprise, we almost give up at hoping of at least not being the ugliest! Haha. But, a few tricks save the day..
-
- Building a hopeless castle
-
- Hypnotising the judges with agogo dance
-
- The competitors
-
- The bigger competitors
-
- Agogo and the prizes
-
- Over the sky high atrium
Well, we must have had a lucky charm too when Yuni strike a lucky draw and won a microwave which now resides in my Kerteh ‘residential’. The family day ran for only half of a day which was good coz we can wind down especially when they have a very nice swimming pool to chill out.
Awana Kijal must have been majestic place at its early years and it shows its age especially in the room setting/decoration but still actively running resort, probably earning its business as the only 4 star hotel in 30km radius. Not to mention, nice food, especially the western food, also great breakfast buffet.
One weekend down, three more to go..
Have a fun Jolai!

Michael Jackson 1958-2009 June 26, 2009

I was driving my way to office when i heard the news in Red fm.
I did not believe the first time i heard it until i turned up the volume to hear more. Apparently yes,Michael Jackson has left the world.
I remember blogging about him back in 2005 when i considered him a weirdo. As much as his weirdness,he nonetheless influenced the music scene big time.
I am not a die-hard fan but i do have my fav picks on his song. Thriller,Beat It,Bad,Black and White,and my all time favourite Billie Jeans.
And i found myself a bit, well, sad,on the rest of the journey to office.
Such a bad way to start a day huh?
p/s: My condolences to the Jackson family.
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years – Abraham Lincoln

Like she knows how much i miss my lil sis, mama called up last night and in our conversation,she shared something about Akila :
In her school over there , Akila is actually in the football team. Being one of the girls in the team, i bet that the boys had their eyes on them. And,being kids,boys always,always like to tease or annoy the girl of his liking (ok,this is my theory 
)
Anyway, this particular boy is such a bugger to her and is consistently annoying and calling her names. Because of my sis’s nature of being very determined,after a while she found a way to counter him back,
Knowing that the boy has no idea if she uses our mother tongue language,some fine day she approached the boy and said,
“Hey, i think your name is too long. Don’t you have a nickname?”
Boy, surprisingly “layan” her, says, “No,i don’t”
“Oh yeah.Well,do you want a nickname? Maybe, <then she gives out a few nicknames suggestions for him>”
Boy replied, “Nah,i don’t like them”.
Then she said, “Oh,how about ‘bodobab*’, do you like it?”
Then boy said, “Yeah”. She continued calling him with that name,of course,coz yeah,he likes it and aswers to the name :P
There goes Akila.She really got him well.Padan muka.Berani you mess with her.I was laughing my ass off when mama told me this story.
Just plain smart lil sister.So proud of her 
Disclaimer :
I am not a racist or anything similar. I am also not condoning name callings,etc.It’s just that sometimes its good that you stick out for yourself and make full use of your advantage when someone annoys the hell out of you.

After a leisure drive of Kerteh-KL, I picked up Yuni dear from her outstation meeting in Subang and for the first time we try a bite of live poetry performance, Malam Puisi Utusan (MPU) held at Laman Santai, Istana Budaya.
Prominent literature figures that performed last night were Pyan Habib(marvellous performance), Datuk A. Samad Said (Catakserukin is so true), Khalid Salleh (so provoking) and some artists like Mila, Hujan, Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, Hafiz AF, and also some other figures like astronaut-2-be Mejar Faiz, the one with tukang karut voice (he might be a tukang karut after all, his poems were performed in dikir songs), this professor with keris and patriotic poem, and that datin not-so-familiar.
The turnout was nice with some small stalls around serving drinks and light supper servings.
The hosts that night was Mr. Sabri Yunus and Mek SPT. I learnt a poem too last night, a one liner poem from Sabri Yunus,
Merdeka
Tuhan tidak pernah mahu kita merdeka.
-Sabri Yunus-
Last night was a surprise i keep for Yuni, just to see how much she bite into poetry icing. After an hour and 30 minutes,
..but she survives till the late supper filling, Kopratasa,
..with this for you deary yuni,
Permata (Untuk Isteri Ku)
Telah ku siapkan satu daerah paling sunyi
Dalam hati ini untuk kau isi sebagai isteri
Untuk kau penuhi dengan kemuliaan seorang wanita
Untuk kau beri erti dengan kelembutan
Untuk kau hargai dengan kasih sayang
Ku ingin kau jadi wanita mulia
Yang tahu harga budi dan hati
Seorang lelaki bernama suami
Kerana engkau isteri
Ku ingin kau mengerti bahawa hidup ini
Tak semudah yang kita janjikan
Yang kita janjikan
Kerana kau isteriku
P/s: i NEED a long zoooom lens now..

I remembered saying last time that i wanted to keep my hair long. So i was keeping it for more than a year now.But oh my god, i am so not a long hair person.
I just cant stand the irritating long hair clinging to my neck especially when it is a hot day. So now eventhough my hair is quite long i always find myself tying up a ponytail or just clipping it with a claw.
Plus the bleached part of the hair that i did in early 2008 is a nightmare. Seriously,its so “dead” and dry.
I am heading for the saloon this afternoon.I think the last trip was in June last year,to get my hair dyed darker. Lamanye!
By the way, i checked out some cool styles for round face, from the web and i think i like these:
Hayden Panettiere
Katie Holmes
Kelly Clarkson
But still,there is some hair at the neckline..hurm..but yet its nice..
Contemplating….
Friday night eat out June 7, 2009
Posted by yunayuni in L|fe's like that, Rock my Sock, makan makan.2 comments
Since we got married, me and hubby still have to live separately during the weekdays, because of our work location. So not cool, but for the moment we have to bear with it. So Friday’s a good day to go out and grab some dinner together. Maybe we could make it a habit,bee? Friday night out,you and me. Hehe
Just want to share another great location for eating out in Kuantan, especially when you feel like having a homemade pizza. Good spot for a date, family gathering or just hanging out with girlfriends (so when’s the next one, girls?)
Featured Eat Spot : Crocodile Rock, along Jalan Teluk Sisek (in front of Annexe Guest House,Kuantan). Owner is a Malay guy,married to a Mat Saleh lady…but i am not sure where she is from. The ambience is very cozy, the couple did a great job of converting an old government quarters into a restaurant. They have live band every Thursday night too, and lots of painting by a Malaysian artist, Ismadi. (Note : Correct me if i am wrong.heheh.)
So if you drop by Kuantan, you may want to try it! Oh btw, its closed on Mondays 
Crocodile Rock Pizza and Grill
Pepperoni Pizza (hubby's fav)
Spaghetti Bolognese (was craving for this)
Caesar's Salad (sedap gile ok)
