Oh!

Just some normal students having a tough day before the final presentation! This includes having many coffees to boost our energy.

Wish us good luck!

Bed is where the idea is

I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm this morning. Feeling sleepy in my blanket and the bed remain as a very lovely place to sleep. 'Why is it that the bed is always lovely during the morning?' I wonder why . 

'Why curiosity always takes place during morning?'

'And why morning is a great time for the brain to think?' 

favorite things makes happy dance inside me

Mr. Brain inside of us loves to work, doesn't he? Since today is a great sunday, I am thinking that I have left a very good friend of mine namely passion at the back of my mind sitting there, lonely, for these past few days.

...and, all I need to do is to write. 

something beautiful

Am searching for good photos to post. Some pictures of my brother's engagement in which I think during this time, I am a busy bee helping mama with the sirih junjung hantaran. We both hit up Petaling Street just to catch some pretty flowers for the hantaran and yes like always being the 'nerd' me of admiring old buildings I kind of took some pictures.

After a while looking at these photos, I don't want this great friend of mine sitting lonely, so I come up with something fast. Just a simple narrative poem with an epic and ballads on this heritage area so-called Petaling Street.

I hope you can crawl into your own skin into its very core just to get the feel of this area.
Hehe.

Enjoy.

I saw a chinese man drinks his coffee near the old lorong,

and his wife waves herself with a vintage 'kipas nyonya'.

I saw many flowers are being sold by the florists in Petaling Street,

And along this dark street dear love where we finally meet.

With these beautiful colours, 

I perceive the beauty of simplicity through everyday life teaches me.

Stepping my foot where clouds are above me,

Dreams are made of these.

Here is looking at you kid,

By walking you will find the idea,

By feeling you will get the answer.

An Aunt

I've been promoted to an aunt!

Sweet little jari! =P

Auntie loves you baby

First nephew. Love =)

Jakarta

Hello. 

We are back here again on the travel channel. You may call me Naddy and I will be your friend and travel explorer. We will fly to a land named 'Jakarta' and I will take you to some great places with spectacular view day and night, we will taste some delicious food your tongue had never taste before. A city with fast changing fashion especially on kerudung and hijab. Excited? Put your seat belt on and I will travel together with you.

While waiting for the flight to take us off, we may snap some beautiful pictures of this little girl wearing a hoodie with a pink bunny in her hands. She is just too cute to resist isn't she? 

"Someone is taking my pictures mummy."

"Mummy, where is my pink bunny?"

Okey pink bunny is with me now you may please take my pictures

**Goofing around**

Anyway, we will fly to Jakarta with the estimated time arrival at 1005am just about two hours from tanah airku. "For breakfast, what would you like, Nasi Lemak or Roti Paratha?" asked the steward. I'm hankering for Nasi Lemak with sambal udang, thank you. We woke up super duper early and roti paratha is not in our list. Hehe...

Nicely weather 

Let's have a little fun in the sun. It's easy for us to stay cooped up during the flight. The steward gave us merely comfort food. Luckily, the family can eat peanuts like nuts and me watching them with green eyes. This brace teeth must stay away from hard foods. Sob.

So, the first program you may enjoy here is shopping. A tip here, Jakarta and Bandung is well known as a place for shopping. I believe Bandung is a much better place to buy kain cotton and kain lace, telekung and some wedding stuffs (while travelling back in 2009) and not on branded stuffs as these can be bought directly with great quality in Malaysia. While Jakarta offers more on the latest fashion for handbags, clothes, shoes, accessories, hijab at a less expensive price. 

Some unique pictures on headgear I took during the 'shop till we drop' momento. Unik sekali.

Loving the design!

The food here is amazing. Have you ever heard of 'Ikan Terbang' before? *bingung* Well, that's happened to me the first time I heard it. I was imagining things like way beyond the mind can imagine. Is there a sayap?Haha.

So, the 'Ikan Terbang' was actually this! The Indonesians are very creative of inventing new things and ideas.

Was wondering how did the chef cook this ikan? A mind boggling here.

The 'cabe' (sambal) is kicking me softly with an awesome taste!

Truly delicious..

and like the usual, we decided to greet our mornings with this view. Hello from the 34th floor!

Morning glories everyone! 

The holiday was just about 3 days and two nights and the time has come to an end. Desperately asking for a weekend repeat. Then, I hope we can go back to real life. The people here are warmth, the food is delicious, the fashion is fast changing where you can get the latest update on busana muslim as well as the sight seeing, excluding the traffic congestion my friend, hehe.

Ya ampun.. ibu mahu pulang?

Dengarin, datang lagi ya.

Iyaa...shopping-shopping

Byee!!

Bless you little hearts of Jakarta, you keep us young!

Lomo

Was cleaning the travelling bag this afternoon and luckily I've found this. My first lomo camera back in the uni days.

..just makes me want to snap pictures using old skool film. 

Back in the days when lomo was in. Now this invokes memory.

Capture the Moment

Hello! From the side of big brown boxes!

Yup, that is my name, Nadiah and no Nurul or Siti or whatevs. Plain me, hehe.

This week was spent packing up slowly moving at my other office's block. So here we are, with a so-called masking tape in hands, pasting at our own brown boxes packed with beloved stuffs. Yes, although moving to another block seems a bit tiring, at the end of the day we are grateful that we have been given the chance to zoom our so-called 'foodie eyes' & 'mouths watery' towards Paparich and few awesome restaurants. Hehe. There is also this great restaurant mind if I share here, Nasi Ayam Kukus Syukran next to our office. It was fabulous! The nasi kukus has a sense of romantic aroma, the ayam itself is roasted well and the crisp of the skin layer melted in your mouths like you are just falling in love for the first time. Hehe. Okay, I can't stop writing about food, can I? 

Well, today when I woke up to find that the sky is amazingly beautiful. The colours... subhanallah, and Allah s.w.t is beautiful, isn't He? And of course, mind you... I have grills attached to my window and it's funny for you to imagine me in my telekung after subuh, stretching out my hands to capture this sunrise. I just thought that I can't let this one passes me by although there will be another sunrise, there will be another mornings and I can still stretch out my hands again throughout the window grills. Yes, there will be another, but since I have this moment... wouldn't be nice if I were to capture it?

Shot from my tiny purple room, which I think the clock ticks around 7.05am

And do you want to see how beautiful your world get when you saw a dashing colours of sunrise this morning, and it ends with this....

Sunset today, beautiful and lovely. Luckily I don't need to stretch out my hands it really awkward though being this person who loves taking pictures. Thank god that front Kelisa wasn't noticing from his rear view hehe.

Such a peaceful feeling isn't it?

If I were a 'photoguru', I will only capture these kind of beautiful moments to share it with you.

Love, 

Naddy.

and that's all my Samsung has to say about that

this new Galaxy always sees, listens, knows and shares. Lets you re-live every moment.
