parents and appreciation

Jangan lah kamu riak. Jangan lupa diri. Dah kerja, jangan lupak mak bapak, kata kawan aku kepada aku. Jika kamu rasa terbeban untuk memberi sedikit wang saku kepada keluarga setiap bulan dan rasa cam "aku sik penah gik rasa tok rasa ya aku sik penah k henpon kacak k laptop hensem lalala", ingat lah dolok mak bapak kita camya juak.

Ingat sidak orang sik penah ada impian mok g London nangga burung-burung yang banyak berterbangan di pavement ya nok kedak dove ya? (sori la i sik penah ke luar negara koh)

Ingat sidak orang sik penah asa mok beli kereta kacak gik selain kereta buatan Malaysia?

Ingat sidak orang sik penah asa diri kedirik lebih prioriti daripada benda lain?

S.H.E

she is my sister.
we used to fight a lot -- though i must say we still do
and we laugh a lot too.
she shared with me many stories -- especially of her love life.
her heart is very sturdy. it had been broken, mended, then broken again.
till one day, a guy in a muscular armor came to the rescue..
and mend her heart like no one ever would.

then they found that they are made for each other -- and realize no love as true as theirs.

and today, theyve promised,
in front of us and everyone else
they'll be true to each other
take care of each other
love each other
till death due them apart.

*photo is yet to follow*

congratulations Mrs Salfarina Nomie MSS
and thank you abang Saperee.
may Allah shower your life with happiness, laughter, and all the goodness in the world.

i love you kakak
do not forget your little sister.

lots of love,
Nadya Summer

of home and kakak

today's the day.

she became tunangan orang.

but i was not there.

and it all just hit me this morning -- thanks to all the fb posts.

and my day.. well, it starts with tears falling down my cheek.

sweet.

i love you both so much. :'(

congrats again kakak!

with love from far,

Nadya Summer

rojak asam payaks

*the title has nothing to do with atiq's blog. thank you very much.

first, im panicking. yep! 2 more weeks till easter break is over, and the fun.. i dont see THAT ending anytime soon - which is NOT GOOD. final year project -- i just get to look back at what ive done and what's left to be done.. and dear god, there's a lot! worse part, im not even sure where and how to start! dammit! i really should start putting my head into it.. hurm.

second, im sad. and jealous. and frustrated. and melancholy.

tomorrow.. well, technically today (malaysia time) is kak nomie's engagement. finally that old lady is getting married. lol! (kidding kakak! you know i love you :P) thanks abang sab for wanting to be responsible for her. LOL!!! well, the plan is akad nikah should be on the 3rd day raya (12/09/10) and reception will be on the same day as abang's. whats melancholy, sad, frustrated and to be jealous about this? IM NOT THERE, duh! :'(

third, im cold. i just came back from Nice yesterday, and it was AWESOME! the sun, the beach, the food.. parfait! planned on getting slightly tanned, but attempt obviously failed.

didnt do much shopping, because i underestimate my expenses. but i dont mind, because i get to eat those lush seafoods and ice cream.. magnifique! we went to Monaco as well.. simply spectacular! and have i ever told you, the french language is just way too sexy? bloody hell.. lol! and then, imagine coming back from a sunny city of temperature 17 deg C average, to a cold, dull Newcastle of temperature 4 deg C.. sigh. but still, thanks housemates for being great companions and friends :)

and last, im happy. :)

over looking the Monaco Cote d'Azur

sakit rumah (part II)

spending too much time on my laptop (not doing work) is not doing me any good.

home sick-ness is back! and this time, it made me dig up old photos:

most of these were from 2006.

ive always liked abang with spiky hair. i wonder why he doesnt want to go back to that look.

this is my utmost favourite of kakak's photo. seriously. if she finds out i uploaded this, she is going to kill me. lol!!

and these collections...

and..

and another one..

ok. ive always denied that im daddy's little girl, but i guess i am. lol.

not that it's a bad thing.. :)

and kakak, congratulation on the proposal! i am so happy for you!

cant wait to be home and celebrate.. :)

though im not too excited on 'losing' my siblings.

i know im not, but.. youngest-sibling-complex - im no longer priority - does not help me feel any better. :P

and owh, special one goes out to my bestfriend, my gossip partner, my news update-er, my advisor (shes one flexible advisor!), i present u - my mama:

ok. it took 15 minutes to actually come up with this one. i guess, my poser trait is NOT taken from my mum. lol

sacrifice

home is really attractive this time of year. its either im drawn to it too much, or im thinking bout it too much. so that makes me sick. and i mean it literally. i actually came down with a fever.

and things going on here is not so hot as well. having had a horrible week, is not helping my home-sick-ness.

it is a sacrifice when ive made my decision to come here. so many little things, and also big things, ive missed. last year was my brother's tekul (majlis merisik). and now my sister's. and i don't have any other siblings' tekul for me to attend anymore. and next, im going to miss my sister's engagement. abg pijan's engagement. but thank god they love me more than their other half, so they postpone the akad nikah and reception date till im back home. but still, missing huge family events is always the last thing i would do.

but kak madihah once said,

"being here (in the uk for studying) is a sacrifice for us. but have you done something that's worthy of your sacrifice?"

a post for mama

Some people may have Hillary Clinton as their idol. Some may even have Nicole Scherzinger. Some may even have Datin Seri Rosmah.

but mine, is my one and only mama, Saliah Japaruddin.

do know how awesome my mama is?

she has been raising us all 3 all on her sweat and tears, and also papa's obviously.

she has been the household manager for almost 31 years now.

she has been our infamous financial planner, and i must say, she is really good at it.

she is the most practical person i have ever met and know, and i really admire her for that.

she is very humble and down-to-earth, and very generous at the same time.

she is very talented and artistic - a talent that I have been longing to have, but never did.  just look at all her handy work all these years!

she has this green hands, where everything that she planted, grows! we have this huge green garden around the house because of her.

she is my personal shrink. motivator. and guidance counselor. her in depth about life is simply amazing.

she has been the pillar for all us 3, ever since we started being independent. she may have not been holding our hands the whole time, but she was - and still is - definitely there, when we slipped, or even when we fall.

she has been a great friend, and even gossip partner, ever since i was away from home. *i couldnt say the same thing about her when i was in high school, because she has been a bit strict. maybe because of parents-children boundary issues*

and most important of all, she has been setting this life trend ever since i was a child, and i am not ashamed to say this: I WANT TO GROW UP TO BE JUST LIKE HER - OR MAYBE BETTER.

because, mama, you are this rare gemstone that has been on the surface of the earth, but nobody has really acknowledged your quality, because your spark just hasn't caught their eyes yet.

i admire your determination, your principle, your discipline, your wittiness and your courage, in order to raise us, feed us, love us, nurture us, and most importantly, help us growing up, and stand on our own feet.

thank you mama for everything that you had ever done and going to do.

and i salute you.

"Ya Allah, ampunilah dosaku, dan dosa kedua ibu bapa ku, dan sayangilah mereka sepertimana mereka menyayangiku diwaktu kecilku"

Amin.

i love you mama.

Nadya Summer
