I looked at him, smiled and proceeded to empty my can of pepper spray in his face.

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Thanks to Idaman for inviting Abdul & I to her bbq party, at her new crib. The bbq went well with heaps of yummy food, good music & great company - few co2000 girls; Ninie, Firah & Mar were there too! To Idaman, our apology for having to leave early, blame Abdul's final exam for that! Huhu! No worries, we'll meet up in futsal court someday! I hope.*wink* And oh! Your mom looks fabulous, and young too! =)

I left Idaman's house with a newfound consciousness. The thought of being physically assaulted scares me. I think I'll consider a friend's advice: "Always bring your pepper spray and make sure you learn self- defence." Chicas, jom?

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

"R.I.S.E"

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Went to watch the movie last nite and it somehow reminds me of the Day of Qiamat. Yet, it failed to impress me much. Luckily enough, Chris Evans was there to sort of cheer me up! =p

On a more serious note, Surah Al- A'raf, verse 187 addresses the issue of the Day of Judgment and it reads:

"They ask you: When will the hour of judgment come? Say: The knowledge of it is with my Lord: none but he can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy will be its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you. They ask you as if you were eager in search of it: Say: The knowledge of it is with Allah, but most men know not."

Talking about the Day of Judgment, have you heard about the 50 signs? I've read somewhere that among the major signs include:

-the existence of Gog and Magog and the associated tribulations;

-Arab land will become a land of gardens and rivers; and

-the sun will rise from the west.

Wallahu A'lam. May Allah lead us all to the right path.May Allah save us all from the torments of grave and Hellfire. May Allah save us all from the horror of the Day of Judgment. May Allah reward us with His Jannah. Amin.

cLearance Sale!!!

The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Bumped into Ira and Akma at The Weld this afternoon. The Weld? Yup, instead of going to lunch, Adrin, Rina and I agreed to make our way to The Weld and join the crazy crowd who went wild over the branded cosmetics and fragrances by YSL, Kenzo,Bvlgari, Prada, Guerlain and what not, which are sold at very cheap price. Cheap as in C.H.E.A.P!!!(Discounts up to 70%!!!).

Since today is the fourth anniversary of Asni-Abdul's relationship, I decided to buy him a Davidoff Silver Shadow perfume & its after shave as I like the smell as much as I like Abdul's Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme. And guess what, I got them at discount price of 50% off the retail price!!!

Not satisfied with the fact that I hadn't gotten anything for myself, I wandered around the crowded sale hall and voila!!! I found myself Nina Ricci Coloured Doves (100ml EDT) at 73% discount price!!! =p

Wait till you see what Adrin had bought for herself!!! Your mouth will be wide open!!! *wink*

So people, what'r you waiting for? Go shop!!! =p

pssst: Happy 24th birthday to a dear friend of mine, Miss Nanayau!!!

*hey! it's 4 in the morning*

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn

I’d give you everything that I am.

I’m handin over everything that I’ve got.

Cause I wanna have a really true love.

Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up.

Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring.

And I wanna make it worth the fight.

What have we been doing for all this time.

Baby if we’re gonna do it ,come and do it right.

4 In the Morning by Gwen Stefani - Really like the music arrangement. Totally in love with the way she sings the chorus. Think Gwen looks sweet and innocent in the video clip. Hence, set it as my mobile ring tone. *Smile* =)

I can't cook!!! So?? =p

...and luckily my husband can cook...

During a telephone conversation last nite:

Abah: Asni masak apa hari ni? (*laughing*)

Asni : Hehe. Asib masak nasi putih & ayam goreng (again) =p

Abah : Hahaha...mana Asib, Abah nak cakap kejap...

Asni : Okey!

Abah : Asib...ajar Asni masakla...kesian awak...hahahaha!

Asib : Takpe, die dah reti masak nasi putih...and keje2 lain Asni yang buat sume, hehe...

(*referring to all the daily chores - cleaning the dishes,sweeping the floor,doing the laundry, etc.*)

Abah: Habisla awak Asib...(*laughing...again.*)

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Yes, Ummi and Abah would call us on daily basis, just to check on our menu for the day. (In actual fact, to ensure that Abdul takes good care of me and cooks for me, hohoho!)

See people, except for the cooking part, even Abdul admits that I AM a good wife!!! (well, indirectly...) =p

Ouch, futsal!!!

An hour of basketball feels like 15 minutes. An hour on a treadmill feels like a weekend in traffic school.Two hours of futsal feels like...

Event: Futsal

Venue: Initial plan -Footy Futsal, PJ but later changed to Extreme Park, Sunway.

Participants: Team A - Asni, Shaxu', Natt, Fozz, Atie and Shariza

Team B - Nana, Idahman, Nads, Nadea, Mar and Hana

The non - professional photographers: Jibby & Aliza =p

After burning few calories due to the two-hour game (hoho...as if... =p), we decided to stop at a restaurant @ SS15 and we were later joined by Ninie. And the interrogation session with the newly-wed bride began... =p

a date with the staLker =p

Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Finally!!! After few unsuccesful attempts, I managed to hang out with E-in today. Phew. The last time we actually sat down and talked to each other was like ages ago. The weird thing is that it's only after my marriage, I got the chance to properly meet her and catch up. No wonder Tapai was so surprised to hear about our date. =p

The outcome of the date? Filled up our empty tummies with Oreo McFlurry@ McD, visited our favourite store, Lovely Lace, checked out Furla's handbags collection, tried out fashionable jubah at a Turkey boutique, got ourselves a new lip gloss each and had our lunch at Madam Kwan's. Nice. =)

However, our effort to be professional stalkers failed. Our encounter with few local artists -Mustafa Kamal , Daphne Iking, Datuk A. Samad Said ended with no photo taken as E-in was too nervous to tell them our SINCERE intention. =p

But, all in all, the date at KLCC was perfect. =) To, E-in, Happy Belated Birthday dear! =)

::specUlate the faCts::

In practical life, the wisest and soundest people avoid speculation

-:pic from cartoonstock.com:-

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

I just want to get some facts straight.

(a) Yes, I like Abdul since the first time I knew him. No, I never tell him that I like him (at that time).No, he didn't even know that I like him.No, it's not me who made the first move. Yes, he likes me too. Yes, he's the one who confessed his feelings towards me and wanted me to be his future wife back in 2003. Witnesses: Adrin, Atie, Fad & Halina. Yes, I don't wear tudung labuh, how should I know why he didn't choose a girl who wears one??? Go ask him.

(b) Yes, I did intend to apply for another post. No, it's not because my current position is not important. No, it's not because of my friend who works there. No, I wasn't even mad at my boss. Yes, it's because the job description for the new post is more challenging and suits my passion.I know I can learn new things.Yes, for Allah's sake, it's because they have offerred me TWICE and they want me to put in my application!

(c) Yes, Abdul buys me things. No, I didn't even ask him to. Yes, I wouldn't and won't go out with any other man without his permission. No, it's not because he's a control-freak, but I do it willingly as a matter of respect to him. Yes, he's taking LLM now, so what if he wishes to develop his personal growth? Let him! He doesn't even ask for your money! At least he knows what he wants in life and I am proud of him!

Ya Allah, why must people speculate things they know nothing about??? To those people, grow up. If you don't know and wish to know, ask.

The love of a family is a life's greatest blessing

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

Introducing, for the first time ...my dearest family...

i) Abah and Ummi -my beloved secret keepers, my bestest friends...

ii) Aslah, my adorable special brother whom I love dearly...[being an overly protective sister over her sick brother, at one point, few years back, Asni had made her sisters felt they weren't loved. I'm truly sorry sisters dearest...it's none of my intention =( ]

(WARNING: to anyone who dares to hurt my brother, physically or emotionally or even to mock/make fun of him, watch out - I can be mean and revengeful. VERY. So don't bother to try.)

iii) Asna, my lovable sister. She's cute, intelligent, friendly yet very secretive. Despite being in all girls school, she's like a magnet to guys. Thank God, she just ignores them! You go girl! =p

iv) Asmaa, my specky little sister. Funny yet smart . Talkative yet shy. Life is a bore without her.

v) And now, the latest addition to the family ...Abdul Hasib Ishak...welcome to our world! =)

Will upload it soon.

of my father & the wedding

Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

what asniloveschocolate thinks:

It has been a while since I last updated this space. Ermm...no excuse really, except for some minor adjustments that I have to do in my life for the past two weeks.

Aqad Nikah day 1 June 2007- morning: Abah fell down and injured his feet badly. With our nighties, my youngest sister and I followed Ummi and our uncle to the hospital. Tears kept rolling down our face (my youngest sister and I) on our way there. We rushed into the hospital and found Abah lying on a bed, Asna was there also. He was being attended by a doctor. The big cut at his left foot was being cleaned. Being a blood phobia, I didn't dare to look at the injury. We hugged him and cried like crazy. Although the doctor wanted Abah to stay in the hospital, Abah insisted to go back. "Tak boleh, anak sulung saya nikah malam ni" he said with a smile on his face. I cried again. Abah gently calmed us and asked us to wait outside. Ummi stayed at the hospital and we hesitantly went back home with our uncle upon my parents' request.

My heart ached. I couldn't tell Abdul about Abah as Ummi told me not to. As soon as I got home, I called Kano and Adrin and made them listened to my pain. It was a huge relief. Thanks to both of you, thank you for being so understanding... Abah got home few hours after that, with his bandaged left feet. I looked at him and he said, " Takpe Asni, kenangan hari akad nikah anak sulung abah". I held my tears as I stood there with him.

The wedding went well I must say, it didn't turn out 100% as I imagined it would be though.Wrong kind of fresh flowers were put at our pelamin, my handbouquet which was supposed to be made from white lily flowers- none was in sight and the special white spot light behind the pelamin was not even switched on. =(

Contrary to the popular belief that the bride would cry on the night of aqad nikah, it was my Abah who had teary eyes on that memorable nite. Maybe it's because I am the eldest in the family. Maybe it's because I'm close to him. Maybe it's because he doesn't know how to let me go. Maybe it's because he doesn't realize that I'm an adult now...a married adult. Maybe it's because he still considers me his little girl.

Whatever it is, nothing's gonna change...not our close father-daughter relationship, at least. I still call him almost everyday and vice versa , telling him everything even the smallest stuff, as usual - including how great Abdul's nasi goreng is and how tired I was helping Abdul's family cleaning their house in Segamat after the reception on 9 June 2007 (mengade, heh). He just laughed and knowing that his girl is not used to all those household chores, he asked whether she was ok and ensured her that everything will be all right. =)

During our reception at Abdul's place, I was truly happy and excited, but as my parents were leaving, I just couldn't hold my tears. I went to Abah, hugged him and cried. I begged him not to leave me there. (again, mengade. Abdul and I were there only for a day and a half =p). But he pushed me gently while holding his tears. Ummi playfully waved her hands towards me and it made me cried even worse. Waaa...

When asked by my friends whether I'm closer to Abah than Ummi, I immediately shook my head. I'm very very very close with both of them, they are like my best friends. And yes, I do share everything with them, no details will be spared. They make me feel secured and loved. And now, Abdul shares their love.They love Abdul so much and I can tell you that their love towards me and Abdul is equal. They love him from the first day they knew him. After the first meeting with Abdul, their face would light up everytime I mentioned his name. (Abah, Ummi, Abdul is not thaaat NICE like you think he does! uhuk! =p)

To Abah, happy father's day. I hope you're reading this since you know the existence of my blog and its add. I couldn't tell you how much I love you as it is incomparable and immeasurable. but I do love you! A LOT!!!

To Ira and K.Long, thank you for being there all this while, helping me to grow my maturity...

To Adrin, you're such a good buddy, thanks for the friendship, girl...and thanks for listening...

To KaNo, thanks for being the nicest sister in the world. thank you for allowing me to know how does it feel like to have a big sis!

To Fizzy, Aboon & Shambie, thank you for coming to KL and accompany me home.I felt less scared and less nervous (about the marriage) when you guys were around. Thank you for your patience as well. Poor you for having to listen to my grumbling about how bad (ugly and fat) I look in my dress for aqad nikah. You guys had succesfully cheered me up that particular week. My apology for failing to be a good host. Blame my work & hectic schedule for that!Ergh. And tq for helping me with the hantaran as well.I owe you guys!

To Shaxu, your sms touched me emotionally...yup, I know I can always count on you guys....*sob*

To Fei, thanks for everything...though I was hoping you would be there during my Aqad as all my good friends were all around me, giving me courage to go through that nite, I love you still...

To Atie, thank you for being such a caring friend...maybe u don't realize it, but you are!!! And thanks for the wedding gift...it is useful, indeed... *wink*

To Shuey and E-in, your entries make me realise how close we are although we rarely see each other...love you guys dearly...(hope to see you guys more often)...

To Hida, thank you for your willingness to be my personal assistant on an ad-hoc basis on the wedding day, huhu!

To Eddie, thank you for the treat. At last, I got the chance to meet you in person after knowing you virtually for more or less 5 to 6 years. Great.

To the rest of zainabians, tkc friends and uni friends...thanks for being able to come to Asni- Abdul wedding - be it in KB or Segamat. It means world to us.

To all the well-wishers, thank you, thank you and thank you. May Allah bless us all. Amin.

psst:It is our intention to invite all of you, but due to time constraint, some of you might not get the card (but that didn't mean you are not invited).Hence, to those of you out there who didn't receive our invitation cards, our deepest regret and apology.
