Heavenly Master

Nothing to do at work, so found this...


You are The Hierophant


Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.


All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.


The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Tagged

I have been tagged by Yatie about weird facts...heh..hehe..tough ones as I do not have any weird things :)

SO, after hard thinking here goes my weird facts:

i)Counting
I like counting things, I don't like maths but I like counting, like when I walk along the street, I will start counting the pavement, and then I will multiply it by whatever number that come to my mind(usually it will either be 5 or 7-don't ask why), or I will start counting the number of windows at certain buldings. Weird I know...

ii)Smells
I like smelling weird things like petrol, marker pen, glue(not to extend of getting addict to the smell..please) and my favourite one was the smells of my kids first thing in the morning. Before they wash their face. To me that the best smell in the whole wide world. I will make sure that I will kiss them every morning,and really enjoy myself doing that.

iii)Brushing my hair
Like Yatie, I also have to brush my hair the moment I wake up from sleep...It's a must and I will get upset if I cannot find my hairbrush and it will spoil my day. See, the importance of brushing my hair in the morning, otherwise I will be very crancky for the rest of the day.

iv)Eating routine
Again like Yatie, I also very particular about the arrangement of the dishes and rice in my plate. The rice have to be in the middle and the dishes have to be in the side. If I put the gravy on the rice, it has to be in an equal distribution. And when I eat it has to be in the same order, say first I will put the first dish on the rice, then the second dish, only after I have put all the dishes that I will eat the rice. And it has to be the same order thruout the meal.

v)Food Allergies
I am allergic to some sea food but not all. I'm allergic to prawns and crabs but I can eat the rest. However, I can them if they are like really fresh. Then I'm fine. Otherwise my mouth and tongue will swollen and it will itch like mad.

vi)
I cannot think of anything else that weird about myself. But if you want to know more probably my husband is the best person to ask. I'm sure he can give you more than 6 weird facts about his wife...:)

And another sad fact about myself..I do not have blog friends except from Yatie(who tagged me in the first place) and Jenn..So, Jenn..you are the one one that I can tag.

p/s:
this is not like the chain letter right? where you HAVE to tag certain number of people otherwise you life are doom? Otherwise..I'm toast.

Organ Donor...Do I dare?

I was reading this morning and this thought keep playing in my mind(I am supposed to write my Self Assessment but...). I wanted to do that, the organ donor thing but I'm not sure about it. At first it was due to the religious thing, I was brought up believing that your body belongs to Allah, and when you come back to Him everything must be intack. But then, if by donating you organ can help other to live why not. Islam is a religious of giving and Allah would understand my good intention. So, that's settle my first huddle of my good intention.

My second concern is my family's reaction. How do they react about this? Do they ok with it or they will give my a hard time? I'm sure it will be the later. And do I really dare to sign on the dotted line? I know I'll be dead by the time they cut me out and take out my heart, kidney, my eyes, etc but still the thought keep haunting me, and do the new person will care about my organs when they get it or will they abuse it by smoking or eating the wrong things or looking at things that they are not supposed to look?

I really really in between about this matter. One minute I was all for it and the next I'm chicken out. I wish I have more information about this, from personal experienced not from articles in the newspaper. I want to know how the donors' families deal with this(we hear a lots about the receipients but none about the donors...guess they want to remain anonymous but I want to know) I need to know before I make up my mind. Any ideas, anyone??

I dream of....Thomas Sabo

I had a dream of Thomas Sabo last night...I found out about this products thur Isetan mail magazine. At first I did not really into it, but last 2 days things have been quiet at work. So I surf their website and I was hooked.

I went to KLCC yesterday after work, and ahhhhhh.......I want...I want...I want. I tried the one in the far left on me yesterday
and it looked good on me. I was so closed of buying that, in my head was telling me...no wait first but my heart was screaming...TAKE IT.....

Luckily or unfortunately depending on which side you look at, I decided to wait for Amli and asked for his opinion or rather ask him to buy for me. He came and as expected, he said he has to think first...ish..ish..ish...there goes my charms.

But if people out there for some reason want to buy me a pressie, now you know what to get me....my birthday is in JULY...

8 years of ups and downs




Today is our 8th wedding anniversary. We have been married for 8 years, was it all bed of roses?? Of course not. Our marriage like others full of ups and downs. Sometimes more ups and sometimes more downs but we survived.

We met while we were in Coventry University, I was in my first year while he was in his final year. The first time we met was at 3s'cook(I think). My good friend, Yatie introduced us since Yatie knows his sister(they were in the same class). My first comment about him was "he's cute", but at that time I was going out with someone else,and that was that.

Little did I know that he had his heart on me(cih...perasan nie), and he was very determined to get me, he came to our house all the time-he practically lived there, went to all the places with me and helped me settled down. When I had my heart broken, he was there to pick up the pieces and put it all back together. He was there to hold me while I cried and told me everything will be ok, and he is right. Everything is ok.

For the past 8 years we went thru so many things together. There were once that we practically have no money...no money at all even to buy fomulas for the kids. We had to literally search for money in the house, all the coins, all the money that we put in secret compartments were all used up. But we still together and our love grows stronger because of that.

Did we fight, of couse we did but we also had good laugh together. We are blessed with 3 wonderful kids that drive us crazy but they also bring us joy. I pray to Allah everyday to bless us, give us strength to face all the difficulties in our marriage and bring happiness to us.

Mahfuz, I may not say it all the times but I love you with all my hearts and thank you for always be there for me thru good and bad times. I love you....

Thank You for being you.

Yesterday I went out with my old best friend..well she is not old but we have been best friend like forever...the story how we became best friend was a funny one. My father and her mother was colleague, and they kept pastering us to become friends and we heard stories about each other even before we actually met one and another. Finally when we were 15 years old, we were in the same class and it like dream came true to our parents. Finally, we both in the same class and soon we both became friends and not long after than best friends. Once we became best friends it was very difficult to separate us. We were partner in crime, we cover each other more than we can count. There were once we both cut our tuition lesson just to watch Tommy Page,my mom dropped me at he tuition centre and after than I took bus and went to Centre Market to watch Tommy Page, can you beleive it..Tommy Page. I got caught and was grounded for one week.

She was always there for me, she was there during happy times and also during hard times. We sort of going our separate ways when I got married but we tried our best to make sure than we still be best friends no matter what. We were lucky that we still stay in the same area as before, and we chat to each other almost every day, so we still know what is going on with each other lives.

She is the type of friend that will not afraid to tell you the truth no matter what. And if you decided not to listen to her advice, she will stood by you, and when you got hurt she will lend her shoulder for you to cry on without those"I told you so"...well actually she will say that after a while and you will have a great laught about it.

So, Aida...thank you so much for your friendship, I don't think that I will survive those hard times if it was not for you. We had grand time together and I really pray that our friendship will last forever(sound corny but this is how I feel about us).

"Bugger Off..I'm special Kid" badge

Sometimes I wish that I can buy a special badge to put on Adriana everytime we go out. You see from her physical features she seems normal, to me she is the most beautiful girl in the world(Prince's voice as a background)but I wish people would know about her conditions and stop making comment or give me the 'funny' look when she throws tantrum.

It happened to me again last week when she was warded due to HFM diseases( that's another story altogether), we went to A&E in one of the specialist hospital in KL, she was crying because of the pain and the looked that people in that room gave us was painful. They looked at you as if saying please could you please make you daughter stop crying. How can I do that? There is no communication from her, she can't speak, leave us alone!!! No compassionate from them at all.

Another incident was in another hospital, there was this mother, she was a nice mother very friendly, very chatty. She asked me How old is Adriana, I replied 2 1/2 years and she commented " still cannot talk?". I was like..No, and left her. I know there is nothing that I can do but I really wish I can buy that badge and put it on her. I guess people will be more sensitive if they know her conditions then again do I want their pity? huh...

But having Adriana teaches me to be more sensitive to people, nowadays when I meet new people, kids or adults I will commented on their good points rather than making comments about their lacking, I will find a good points and tell that to the parents. Before Adriana I was like that mother, asking people how old are their offsprings and then commented about their delay rather than their positive points. and I like who I am today, and having Adriana made me that. But still I want that badge...
