Something I could never get tired of doing

Source: Google Image

Obviously la kan :D Most of my entries biasanya aku buat auto-publish bila ada masa yang terluang aje sebab kalau kat rumah pun, bukannya kerja aku dok mengadap blog 24 jam. Aku sibuk melayan Umar. Then bila dia dah tidur, baru la aku curi masa sikit untuk update apa-apa yang patut..

Even though sometimes ada hari-hari yang aku rasa macam eeeeeeeeee nak cerita pasal apa pulak ni?? Tapi ntah macam mana idea tu sentiasa datang aje walaupun tak banyak. 2-3 baris pun jadi la, janji update :D

In this past month, what have I learned?

1) My family comes FIRST.

2) I'm not gonna waste any of my time entertaining any ungrateful people anymore! Seriously.. Bagai melepaskan anjing yang tersepit aje aku rasa..

3) Sentiasa bersyukur dengan apa yang ada..

4) Buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jangan sekali..

5) To forgive and forget.

6) Always remember that what you give is what you get.

What kind of person attracts me?

* I'm attracted to people who are friendly.. Senang nak communicate :D Especially bila first time jumpa kan, sebab aku ni diam sikit dengan orang yang aku belum nak kenal..

* Gila-gila dan suka gelak macam aku..

* Tak berkira sangat..

Boleh dikatakan semua la kawan-kawan rapat aku mempunyai kriteria-kriteria seperti yang disebutkan di atas ;)

A photo of somewhere I wanna go

Frankfurt, Germany!

Source: Google Image
Kaufhof..
Tempat aku shopping :D
Tingkat atas ala-ala kat rooftop ada satu food court yang best giler,
aku memang selalu lepak situ lepas habis class.
Very cozy, and kalau rasa macam nak ambik angin boleh duduk kat luar.
Boleh nampak la what's happening kat bawah.

Aku takde banyak gambar of that place,
cuma ada ni aje:
http://theycallmeliza.blogspot.com/2009/11/memories-part-3.html

I really miss all my friends, all the aunties and uncles. Mana la tau kalau ada rezeki lebih, I would love to go there again. And this time I'm definitely gonna bring Ben and Umar along :)

Who am I?

Me? I'm full of energy when I'm hyper and I'm really lazy when I'm tired. I get tired very easily so I'm lazy most of the time. I like everything I do and I don't know what is it that I do most of the time; but I sure know how to have a good time!

Ala korang pun dah tau la agaknya who am I kan? I'm going to be 30 in August.. I'm married.. I have a son.. I'm staying in Ukay Perdana.. What else you wanna know? You know how to reach me ;)

15 facts about me!

Well oh well.. 15 facts about me.. Apa benda la yang aku nak bagitau korang ni? Haha! OK, so here we go..

1) I love to read. Once a month memang dah jadi habit for me to go to any bookshops, dapat beli satu pun aku dah cukup happy :D But only chick-lit novels aje la. Dari dulu lagi tau aku ada cita-cita nak transform one of the rooms kat rumah aku tu untuk dijadikan mini library, nak hias cantik-cantik, with a nice table and a nice plush chair, so it will be very cozy and comfortable.. Something like this, but without the dog la of course. Haha!

Source: Google Image

2) I'm the type of person kalau dah suka sesuatu makanan tu, I can eat it every single day, the same thing, for few months! Ada satu gerai kakak ni near my office jual soto, and because it was so sedap, ha tiap-tiap pagi la aku dok makan soto kakak tu. Kawan-kawan kat office aku pulak yang kembang-kembang tekak menengoknya. Haha!

3) Aku cepat panic! My panic button besar giler bak kata Ben.

4) Seorang yang sukakan budak-budak.

5) I love to be around people.

6) I love to dance. It's in my blood ;) Started dancing when I was 10.

7) Tak makan durian.

8) Sampai satu tahap aku akan ignore mereka-mereka yang dah buat aku kecik hati.

9) Love traveling.

10) Sejak ada anak ni kan, aku memang dah jarang beli barang untuk diri sendiri. Apa-apa pun semuanya untuk anak dulu.

11) Aku kena buang la perangai aku yang suka merempan ni kadang-kadang. Not good!

12) One of my closest friends said that I have OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). Haha! Kurang ajar. Just because dulu aku suka bukak my handphone casing and washed it with soap. Every time bila dia lepas makan aje memang aku takkan bagi dia pegang handphone aku masa tu. Takut bau kari!

13) Masih orang sama jugak yang cakap, that I'm a wee bit emotional.

14) Ha yang ni ada 2 orang dah cakap kat aku - I'm sensitive when it comes to the one that I love.

15) Sometimes I just don't understand people yang... Hmmm.. How should I put it into words.. OK. For example. Dah gedebak-gedebuk mengata aku kat belakang (in the end aku dapat tau jugak), then tiba-tiba contact aku balik sebab nakkan sesuatu. You get what I mean? Haih! It's not easy for me to forget as if nothing happened you know.

OK dah.. Finally, siap jugak entry ni :D

A letter to someone who has hurt me before..

Dear someone,

To tell you the truth, I've had enough of all your stupid dramas. I'm gonna ignore you from now on, you asked for it anyway. But one thing for sure, I won't forgive and I won't forget.

Have a nice day!

Yours truly,
-Liza-

The meaning behind my blog name

There's no hidden meaning or whatsoever behind my blog name la.. They call me LIZA, it's my name obviously - that's what people call me anyway :)

I used to put Taken & Loving It masa awal-awal blogging dulu. But since my url pun theycallmeliza.blogspot.com, so I was thinking might as well guna aje la They call me LIZA tu sebagai title. It's more "me" I think.

5 things that irritate me about opposite/same sex

Ni aku bagitau sikit in general la ye? Nobody's perfect anyway..

1) Manusia yang beria-ia cari salah orang lain sedangkan nak cermin diri sendiri pun tak pernah. Semuanya tak betul. Tu tak kena, ni tak kena. I just don't get it..

2) Pilih kasih - Dari segi apa pun la..

3) Sombong.. Nak mendongak ke langit macam mana lagi pun aku tak tau la. Aku memang hilang respect dengan orang-orang yang sombong ni. Naik menyampah pulak aku tengok!

4) Celupar.

5) Orang yang bila kat belakang kita bukan main lagi berkepak-kepak mengutuk. Bila kat depan kita tak berani pulak nak bersuara. Apsal? Takut kena lempang agaknya..

OK dah :D The most important thing is, sentiasa la berfikiran positif. Buang perasaan negatif tu jauh-jauh OK? Buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jangan sekali..

Have a nice day!

Umar is listed in the Top 20!

Remember I submitted that photo to the Contest Photo Anakku Ceria early this month? Well, it was my first time actually join contest yang berkaitan dengan anak ni. Saja la untuk suka-suka kan :) At least boleh get to know all the mommies out there..

Tapi yang buat aku excited lebih ni sebab Umar is listed in the Top 20! I saw Hanin's entry last night. Tengah dok tengok-tengok gambar yang comel-comel tu semua then suddenly I saw Umar's face :D

Oh harus la masa tu jugak mak lompat bintang OK! Haha! Top 20 tu, out of beratus yang participate. I'm happy already :) Alhamdulillah.. Kalau ada rezeki Umar untuk dapat tempat kat Top 1o ke, Top 3 ke, ada la. Kalau takde, I wish the mommies all the best!

*group hugs*

How I hope my future will be like..

Well, enough said :)

My short term goal for this month and why?

To lose at least another 4 kilos by end of this month :D

Why?

Err.. Why?? Because I have to, that's why!

So what do I have to do to lose that 4 kilos? Eat right.. Be active.. & exercise of course!

Currently reading: The Gatecrasher

Fleur Daxeny is beautiful, unscrupulous, and has a large wardrobe of black designer suits. With the help of The Times announcements page she gatecrashes the funerals and
memorial services of the wealthy, preying on rich, vulnerable men. She charms her way
into their lives and onto their platinum credit cards, takes what she can,
and then moves swiftly on.

When Richard Favour, a dull but wealthy businessman, meets Fleur at his wife's
memorial service, he's bowled over. Gradually Fleur works her spell on Richard's reserved and stilted family - transforming their lives while she moves in on their wealth. She finds herself lingering longer than she meant to, becoming involved in the family - but as Fleur rifles through Richard's files, it becomes clear that she is not the only one after his money.

Something I don't leave the house without..

... is my handbag obviously! Banyak benda dalam tu, memang takkan tinggal la kan. My wallet, my coin purse, my phone, my phone charger, my compact powder and lip gloss are all inside there. Kadang-kadang kalau nak keluar yang short distance tu, even diapers, baju spare, baby wipes, Umar's bottom balm and shoes pun aku sumbat dalam handbag. That's why every time kalau aku nak beli handbag, yang besar la jadi pilihan :)

Umar Ilham Majid - 8 months

8 months already?! How time flies..

So anyway.. At 8 months Umar dah merangkak dah. Duduk pun dah boleh, but still under supervision :) Ada la sikit terhoyong-hayang kadang-kadang tu..

Pandai dah nak berdiri sendiri once dia dapat berpaut kat apa-apa pun la. Sometimes bila orang tengah baring, seboleh-boleh nak memanjat kat badan kita. Tak kira la muka ke, tangan ke, dia main pijak aje as long as dapat berdiri.. Bertuah!

Dalam bab makan, so far takde masalah.. Tapi biasa la budak kan kalau dia tengok orang makan, confirm dia pun nak jugak makanan orang tu. Tak bagi kang nangis beria-ia macam sedih sangat. Yang kelakar tu, bila orang nak suap makanan kat mulut, mulut dia yang menganga lebih. Haha!

I think some of you dah tau kot yang aku bawak Umar swimming once a week kalau takde apa hal.. Last weekend pun we all pergi swimming lagi. Ni kat bawah ni aku nak share kat korang masa Umar tengah in action :D

My favorite artist

It's Beyonce y'all :D

To me she's the best!

I'm gonna share with you guys one of my favorite videos of her.. Enjoy!

Umar's outing with Atuk and Opah

Last weekend we all bawak Umar keluar makan, together with Ben's brothers and sisters - the whole family la senang cakap.. We went to Serai @ Empire. Not bad la the place, the food there pun boleh tahan sedap..

Oh. I think this is a first entry kot yang aku keluar pergi makan tapi tak ambik gambar apa-apa makanan pun. Lupa pun ye, maybe sebab lapar giler masa tu. Lagipun by the time my food arrived, si Umar dok tepuk-tepuk meja as if nak diterkamnya pinggan aku tu. Haha! So enjoy the photos OK?

Umar ni macam ada switch tau..
Masuk kereta dia mesti tidur.
Tapi bila keluar aje dari kereta boleh pulak mata dia terus "ting!"..

Tunjuk kelaku :D
He loves being the center of attention!

Si wanita bercermin mata tebal bersama anak kesayangannya..
Oh. It reminds me..
Ramai yang tanya berapa power cermin mata aku tu.
And they went "Haaaaa??" every time I told them :D
It's 750. Both eyes.
Bagi aku tu kira OK la tu sebab before I gave birth
power aku 1000 for both eyes..
Dah korang pulak yang dok "Haaaaa??" ke?!

On the way back..
Perut dah kenyang, hati pun suka :D

Being married..

In November this year genap 3 tahun I'm being married..

Married life tak la seteruk yang disangka :) Especially bila dah ada anak ni kan, lagi rasa lengkap hidup tu. Alhamdulillah.. We have our ups and downs in life no doubt, tapi cuba la selesaikan semua masalah tu dengan fikiran yang terbuka. Kesetiaan tu amat penting.. Everyone is not perfect, so kena la sentiasa bertolak-ansur..

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.

A photo of my favorite memory

I always carry this photo of my late mom wherever I go. This photo was taken at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa in Cyberjaya during my auntie's wedding. We (me and my dancers) performed on that day. Masa tu we all kat the waiting room tengah tunggu our slot..

My favorite place to eat

Chili's!

The last item that I bought..

Hair accessories from Isis in Wangsa Walk Mall :)

Rambut aku ni kan, agak susah nak dibentuk. Unless bila lepas keluar dari hair salon dah blow cantik-cantik, ha baru la ada rasa teruja nak lepaskan. Tapi bab fringe ni, even dah blow pun aku tetap nak sepitkan ke atas sebab aku rimas. Macam mengganggu muka aku aje..

That's why aku selalu beli sepit rambut yang kecik-kecik tu khas untuk sepitkan my fringe. Kata benda pun dah kecik kan, so selalu sangat la hilang. Tu yang kebetulan masa aku ada kat Wangsa Walk Mall hari tu, aku try la cari sepit yang selalu aku beli tu tapi takde la pulak. 2 kedai aku pergi..

Yang ada cuma sepit ni:

The design macam menarik..

So I tried it on..

I'm loving it!

My dream wedding..

I still remember the time when my family and I were staying in Titiwangsa. Arwah mak masih ada lagi masa tu. Actually I really like that house, very simple. Jenis bungalow lama-lama yang ala-ala dalam filem P.Ramlee, siap ada tempat letak kereta yang ada bumbung tu, then dia punya laman punya la besar boleh muat 15 biji kereta. Tapi tak boleh lawan la dengan bungalow yang kat kiri kanan depan belakang rumah kitorang tu. Kalau nak compare, rumah kitorang masa tu alahaiiiii, macam rumah mainan aje.. Haha! Tapi rezeki kitorang la kan dapat duduk situ dengan sewa yang murah for a few years. Nasib dapat landlord yang tak berkira.. Nanti aku upload gambar kat kawasan rumah tu ye?

So anyway.. Berbalik pada topic my dream wedding ni.. It was my very 1st time to discuss about it openly with my late mom masa kitorang tinggal kat rumah tu la - that I wanted a garden wedding at home..

It'll look something like this..
Source: Google Image

With lots and lots of fresh lilies..

With pink and white balloons everywhere..

Aku kalau boleh tak nak bersanding, aku just nak milling around with all the guests :)

And aku dah berangan dah I'm gonna wear a pink short wedding dress lebih kurang macam gambar di bawah:

Amboi.. Bukan main lagi ye kau Liza!

Source: Google Image

Well, that's only my imagination la. Masa tu I was in my early 20s kot, tau nak sukaaaaa aje! Tapi bila dah sampai masa yang sesuai, you met someone that you know you're gonna spend the rest of your life with him, fikiran pun dah matang, insyaAllah benda yang baik kita nak buat akan jadi elok aje la..

Frankly speaking I have no complaints at all regarding my own Wedding Oh Wedding :) Semuanya berjalan dengan lancar, Alhamdulillah..

An animal I'd love to keep as at pet

Source: Google Image

Yes, it's a Persian :) I'm a huge fan of Persian cats as long as I can remember.. Both Ben and me memang sayangkan kucing, so kitorang nak ajar Umar untuk sayangkan kucing jugak. So we were thinking nak tunggu dia besar sikit, kitorang nak bela seekor dulu :D

What makes me different from everyone else?

I always ask Ben this question sampai dia pun dah naik bengang.. Haha! Pada pendapat aku, he's the best person untuk tanya soalan tu la kan. Kalau tanya aku sendiri, mesti la aku jawab yang baik-baik aje :D

There was 1 day when I asked him the same question again, and his answer was:

"You punya panic button tu besar sangat la B. I tak pernah jumpa orang yang panic giler macam you!"

I was like, hahahahahahahaha! Tak baik tau cakap macam tu. According to him, I have to be more relax in whatever situations I'm in. Tak payah nak menggelupur tak tentu pasal. I mean, ada ramai lagi orang kat luar sana yang cepat panic jugak kan.. "Tapi diorang punya panic button tak boleh lawan you punya.." Haha! Fine..

Aku tanya lagi, takkan yang buruk aje dia nampak? Then he said, "You're kind hearted, that's for sure.." Heeeee.. Terus aku tak tanya apa-apa lagi dah :D

Swimming @ K Club

Since our auntie is a member of the club, we're gonna make it a point to go there every Sunday, insyaAllah :) Ha elok sangat la tu, aku pun dah lama tak exercise..

Memang aku punya intention nak Umar pandai swimming, so that dia tak takutkan air. Dari dia kecik lagi aku dah biasakan jirus kepala dia every time dia mandi. Senang, kang takde la terpekik-pekik bila time mandi kan..

On Friday hari tu during lunch hour sempat la aku lari kejap pergi Toys R Us sebab nak belikan dia punya pelampung yang masuk kat tangan tu. Sekali nampak pulak ada swimming attire siap pelampung kat dada and belakang badan. Terus aku grab.. Bila pakai dah macam Ninja Turtle dah aku tengok :D

Relax nampak bang?!

Playing with his water pump..
Ben bought it actually, end up memang dia la yang main benda tu, bukannya Umar..

Luckily he loves the water..
Dah masuk susah nak keluar la pulak..

Darling of mine getting tired already..
Mana taknya.. Bangun pukul 7 pagi, masa tu dah pukul 10 something tak tidur-tidur..

My best friend..

.. is Ben, obviously ;) He's my best friend for life! And that's one of my favorite photos of us together when we were in Langkawi with my dad and sisters..

My idea of the perfect 1st date ;)

When we (Ben and me) went out for our 1st date together 5 years ago, we didn't do anything fancy or spectacular. We had our dinner at Naili's Ampang - kitorang duduk in 1 corner, makan-makan, minum-minum, gelak-gelak, borak-borak, just wanna know more about each other.. Very simple :)

I prefer it that way. Sebab masa tu la I really want to find out Ben ni macam mana orangnya. Boleh click ke tak dengan aku.. Kang kalau banyak sangat aktiviti yang nak dibuat on a 1st date kang, tak boleh nak concentrate pulak kan :D That is just my humble opinion la. Lain orang lain caranya..

So what about you guys out there? I would love to know about your idea of the perfect 1st date ;)

My favorite movie

I Am Legend
Source: Google Image

I still remember the time when Ben and me, we were at the cinema to watch this movie. Normally both of us will read the synopsis of any movies that we're going to watch on the display but on that day once we saw the Will Smith's poster we were like, "Eh Will Smith ada movie baru la. Mesti ni action movie. Macam menarik.. Jom tengok!" So tanpa fikir panjang we all terus beratur beli tiket..

Betapa silapnya la tekaan kitorang masa tu. At first tu I was wondering jugak, apa ke hal action movie ni macam takde orang aje. Haha! Ha sekali tu hambek ko zombie semua gedegang gedegung keluar. Si Ben pulak tak gemar cerita-cerita macam ni, memang dok menyumpah aje la kan. Hahahahaha! Tapi aku sukaaaaa :D Aku memang suka movie yang genre macam ni.. I can watch this movie over and over again tanpa rasa boring..

So what about you? What's your all time favorite movie?

My favorite song

Hurt by Christina Aguilera

I came across this song right after my mom passed away 5 years ago,
and it has become one of my favorites since then.
Every time I listen to it, it always brings tears to my eyes..

25 November 1955 ~ 20 September 2006

Semoga tenang la mak di sana..
-AlFatihah-
