Sahur kita... yum yum yum

2010-08-13T14:27:00.000-07:00

Eventhough its already the fourth day of fasting, I have yet to break my fast with my immediate family. Instead my secondary family or should I call, my boys are my becoming more like my primary family. Taking care of their sahur and break fast have made me more appreciative of my mother for preparing for my sahur and break fast. All sort of acts you can witness. One of it is, boys' diagnose with ADHD finally sitting down quietly with their back slouched, boys who tends to either increase the brushing of teeth and/or going to the toilet. Anyway boys will be boys, just need the patience to be with them and guide them, insya'Allah.

Updates on HaNa preparation to marriage,
- Like in the movies or series on television,"Hajat kami ini besar, hendak memetik bunga di taman." On the 1st of August 2010 (Sunday), Hakim's family went over to Nadia's house to mark the start of our marriage process. The merisik session was filled with introduction of members from both families. The engagement date was set on the 25th of December 2010 (Saturday). The ceremony ends with a stumpous meal cooked by Nadia's side, Nasi Beryani.

The adat merisik (asking ceremony, or more literally 'spying custom') is the traditional Malay system for arranging marriages. When it is time for a young man to get married, his family will look around to identify a number of potential brides. Nowadays, the man might suggest to his family who he would like them to consider, and it may be that a romantic link already exists between the man and woman. Having decided upon one particular woman, the merisik, or investigation process, takes place.
For this ceremony one or more representatives (wakil) of the man's family pay a friendly visit to the family of the woman whom they have in mind as his potential bride. The visit is purely for the purpose of further investigation, and it gives the visitors the chance to see the woman. A hint will be given to her parents regarding the purpose of the visit, and their reaction will be assessed. The woman's parents may also give the visitors some idea as to whether or not their daughter would be interested in the match. The merisik does not constitute a formal proposal. Following the visit both sides can begin to think more seriously about the possibility or otherwise of a marriage.

(http://www.wikipedia.org)

On the 8th and 9th of August 2010, the quirky couple attend the marriage preparation course at Masjid Al-Istighfar. Its a full day course which starts at 9am and ends at 6.30pm. The speaker was well versed in the Islamic teachings and as well as secular idealogy. Learnt several points that can be of used for their future planning. Updates on the course will be published on the next post.

Yeahness to photobucket for finally re-activating our account.

Let me publicise a new post before the peeps at blogspot remove our account for being inactive. The year 2010 brings a new meaning to both Hakim & Nadia. Hakim make a big move to the social service industry. I can still remember the first few days where working as a Rehabilitation Officer (Management & Welfare) at Singapore Boys' Home brings uncertainties to me. Luckily there was Nadia, brings comfort and motivation to me... So thanks Dear! Two weeks before, pamper myself with a new gadget, IPhone. Now there's no reason for me not
to update this space with my humble thoughts.
As for my Nadia, been busy managing her schedule with class and tray full of assignments. Jia Yo Shona... You are nearly there. I'll be there supporting you.

This space will also be filled with new updates and countdown to our new life... Insya'Allah.

Its been awhile since this place have been updated. Both Hakim and Nadia have been busy with their daily routine. An example of their daily routine are;
Wake up to a day with full of hopes and surprises.
Go to work happily ( Just like spongebob,"I'm ready, I'm ready")
Sadly punching out as the next part of the day awaits.
Meeting new people in the train/bus as they goes to school.
Work their medula oblongata for two hours.
Meeting up with fellow Singaporeans again.
Reached Home, and cant wait for tomorrow.

Hahaha... Sorry for the sarcasm, didnt meant to, doing just like my therapy requested, "think positive sure helps."

Road Trip

2009-06-24T06:49:00.000-07:00

Day: Friday
Date: 22/05/2009

Decided on a weekend driving experience.Booked with Nadia's cousin rental company, which cost them $120 for the weekend. After work, both meet up at Ubi to collect the car and payment for the car follows. A grey nissan sunny was presented to them. With Nadia behind the wheel, off they went to pick up Nadia's sister, Amira, at Kallang MRT Station. Bearing in mind that,"Its OK to be slow, as long as you reach the destination safe," Nadia cruise along Geylang's Road. After fetching Amira, off they went to Ubi Driving Centre to handover gifts to those who have played a part in teaching Nadia. Their final destination for the day was Nadia's Aunt's place.

Day: Saturday
Date: 23/05/2009

Both Hakim and Nadia woke up particularly early today, as Hakim need to fetch Nadia since she's attending her workplace Sports Day. After the event have finished, both head back to Nadia's place. The initial plan was to drive around Singapore, however, Nadia was down with fever. Spent most of the afternoon resting, it was only in the evening that they start driving again. Together with Amira and Suhada'(Nadia's cousin), they head off to Bugis for dinner, where they had a hearty meal at Pastamania. After they had performed their Maghrib prayers, they make their way to the Amphitheather, Vivocity. Both Amira and Suhada' were busy clicking pictures and splashing water at the reservoir, while Hakim and Nadia just laze around. Soon it was time to go back.

Day: Sunday
Date: 24/05/2009

Start their day by sending Nadia's dad to his workplace at Changi cargo Complex, then fetching Nadia's mum from Sengkang Library. Later in the afternoon, including Nadia's mum, Ain & Friend, Amira and Suhada, make their way to Marina Barrage. Its a first for everyone. Set ourselves at the Green Roof, soon we were having 'milk shakes' which was intially ice-creams. Watching people playing kites kind of excite both Hakim and Nadia. The thought of trying one kindle, but they didn't have one. With the support from Nadia, Hakim went to search for shops selling kites. After searching for a few minutes, spotted a souvenior shops selling kites. After paying the cashier for the kite, Hakim jogged his way up to the Green Roof, and presented the kite to Nadia. Spent half of our time there playing kite. It somehow rekindle our childhood moments.

Price of the Kite: $18.00
Playing kite togther: Priceless.

Alone....

Mood: Blank

Oh my God, its only 4 days and Hakim is missing Nadia already. Haiz, wondering what she's doing right now. Blogging while listening to 'Touch My Hand' by David Acrhuleta doesn't really help smoothen the withrawal sympthons. Yes... I not sure why I'm listening to this gayish voice.

Nadia is away on a 2 week trip to Mecca & Medinah, Saudi Arabia with her family. She'll be back on the 29th of June. Just hope the days pass by very fast. Well, while she's away, Hakim will be going on an expedition to conquer Mount Ophir/Gunung Ledang together with his collegues, Aidil, Affan and Fadly. Yupes, time for some real adventure instead of sitting in the office getting papercuts.

Let's move back to last to the time we left off...

The month of April is a good month for those who want to pass their Traffic Police test. Hakim passed his Traffic Police Test on the 14th of April, while Nadia passed her's on July 28th. Arrived Ubi Driving Centre quite early on that day, the weather doesn't seems to help at first as clouds begins to collide one another. Soon a slight downpour follows. Nadia went for her warm-up ...

Sugar Coated

2009-03-29T06:03:00.000-07:00

Enjoying a box full of donuts...

Haiz seriously don't tend to get myself overweight but the sight of it really make my knees wobble. Sugar coated, Chocolate coated, Strawberry coated, which one should i sink my teeth on first. Yes... let me try the ChocoPeanut coated first, come to papa, my precious!

While I'm munching let me recap what have happened in the past....

29th December - Dearie's Birthday, got herself a Sony Ericsson Experia.

30th December - HAPPY 3rd Year Anniversary. More to come, for sure... Insya'Allah

1st January - CPGAiport officially shifted to a new location, TechView Building, Kaki Bukit

9th January - Apply for our not so dream house, Punggol Regalia.

February - Punggo Regalia result was annouced, our queue number was, H0836. What the tut?

2nd March - Hakim bought himself a new phone, Blackberry Bold 9000. Realised that he have made a risky move upon purchasing the phone, what to do.

19th March - Received an invitation from HDB regarding Punggol Regalia.

The gagdet couple, one with an Experia another with a Blackberry. So if you upon seeing a couple sitting at McDonalds/Starbucks/CoffeeBean, busy surfing the internet by using their phones, well that must be them.

Time have been getting faster and faster, for the past 9 months being part of the team that constructs airports was my life other than my family and dearie of coz. Spent nearly 5 months taking SBS service 29 early morning just to get to werk. Now its either 59 or 8, and you have to fight for your seat.

Both Hakim and Nadia went to apply for their not so dream house. Haha... if you want to know whats their dream house, hmmm, lets just say its located in Sixth Avenue. Haiz the high life... Okay lets come back to earth, both decided to apply for a 4-room flat instead of the initial 5-room. Guess, social worker + child interventianist would be able to fork out the intial 10%. After waiting for nearly 1 month, the result for the balloting was published, they were put under the waiting list and there's 200 peeps infront of them. I agree, its a slim chance indeed. A few weeks after that, HDB invites them to chose the units they prefer.

What to expect in a few months time,

28th April - Nadia's Traffic Police Test

15th June - Nadia's performing Umrah

3 Years and going for more...

3 Years and going for more...

Today marks 3 years of HaNa (including this blog). Sorry for the quietness of the blog. Busy removing the cobwebs from the wallpapers. Yesterday was Nadia's 22nd birthday. Since it was her day, Hakim went to fetch her at Sengkang. Their first stop was Dhoby Ghaut, as she need to submit her assignment and make some payment for her degree program. After all the administrative stuffs completes, they make their way to the Starhub shop at Plaza Singapura. After getting their queue number, 7042, they get a seat and wait patiently. Nadia keeps asking Hakim why is he looks boring, when in actual case he was just watching the show 'Son of the Beach' featured on the Tele there. They waited for almost an hour before their number flashes on the screen. It was there that Nadia got the shocked, Hakim is buying the Sony Ericsson Xperia for her Birthday.

Still flying

2008-07-19T09:43:00.000-07:00

On the weekend, after fetching Nadia from her workplace, they went to Bugis. The main itinerary for the day was the ride on the DHL balloon. But as soon as we arrived the placed, we were told that the weather condition is not favourable for us to fly. It was only 1445hrs, so we make our way to Bugis cinema to catch a movie. Fuoh! this was like our third movie in a week, WANTED, Get Smart and now, Hancock. The time was only 1500hrs and the shows start at 1545hrs. What to do...What to do. Therefore, to kill time, we walked aimlessly around Bugis Junction. The sypnosis and rating of the movie can be found at the end of this post.
After the movie, still eager to take the ride, we make our way to the DHL Balloon place. This time, we are able to FLY!! We were slotted for the 1940hrs ride, thou Nadia was quite disheartened because by the time it was all dark. It was still quite early for our flight, so we went to have a quick dinner a the nearby Tong Seng Eatery. After the dinner, we went back to the ride. Anxiety was filling into our hearts. Moon here we come! While waiting for our time, we sat at the chairs provided looking at the balloon ascends and descends a few times. Nadia began to fill in some unwanted questions such as, "What if the balloon bursts?" and "Do they have back up plan?". Hakim was like, "No dear, this is Singapore. There's always a back up plan."
After much waiting, it was our turn to fly.While the balloon was ascending, Hakim was thinking, maybe this was a bad idea after all. Hakim was having his acrophobia period again. Knees began to wobble, grips began to tighten. While all this happens, Nadia was having a field time, taking pictures and laughing at Hakim. After 5 mins, we reached the targeted heights, 150 meter. Luckily, we didn't took the new uber heights, which went all the way up to 180 meters. Even though, the guide encourage us to walk around the platform, Hakim just stood on to his place. As soon as we reached the 150 meters, we began to descend. Upon seeing the cars and people's head below getting bigger and bigger by seconds, Hakim finally able to move, Apadah! Altogether it was a 10 min ride. Still I prefer my feet on the ground.

Well lets' backtrack abit, there's two major events happened this week. First was Nadia's TP and the DHL balloon ride.
While Nadia was taking her test, few hearts were with her, hoping and praying she made it through. In the end at 1645hrs, the call came... she failed.

The lost entry

2008-05-20T05:54:00.000-07:00

Well here it is, for my dearest Nadia.

Not too long ago, Hakim was on a mission to secure his place in Nadia's heart. After finishing his night shift, he went back home to prepare a few stuff for their outing that day. Everything was normal, until Hakim gave Nadia a piece of paper which states a piece of clue. That's went it hits Nadia that she was in for a surprise. After solving the clue, they make their way to Harbourfront station.

Upon arrival, Nadia was given the 2nd clue, which require them to make their way to the Jewel Box, Mount Faber.Without realising, Hakim went to buy tickets for them to ride the Cable Car. It was a first time experience for both of them. Upon knowing that they are going to board the Car, Nadia frantically reached for her phone and start sms-ing her mum. It was Nadia who have a slight panicked moment in the Cabin. Surprisingly, Hakim who is known to have a fear of heights, didn't even felt the fear. I guess it have been cured, might be? It was an exciting experience, not for the bird eye view of Cruise Bay, it was the 'gelagat' of the people inside the Cabin that excites you.

After our feet was safely on the ground, Nadia was given the 4th clue. What was supposed to be the 3rd clue, Hakim mistakenly give Nadia the 4th Clue. The clue states that they take a ride on the 4D- Magix, where you'll be seating in a cinema like room while taking a role of a pirates. You'll have your face splash with water, shots of air will be blown to your feet, and your seats will jerk you up, literally. After the magically experience, they proceed to the back to take a ride on the CinemaBlast, where your seats will turn around wildly, while taking a role of a log going throw a maze of waterfalls.

After the exciting and exhausting experience, they make their way to the Beach Station, to buy tickets for the Sentosa's new attraction, Songs of the Sea. While waiting for the show to start, they have their dinner at Delifrance under the Merlion. It was still early when they finished their dinner. So they take in the evening air at Siloso Beach. After finishing their Maghrib prayers, they proceed to the gate, and were taken to our seats. It was an enjoyable 20 mins, of our time. The storyline was slightly different from the old show at the Musical Fountain. After the show, we board the tram that brings us back to mainland.

Overall cost;
Cable Car: $11 per pax, one way ticket ($22)
CinemaBlast and 4D- Magix: $25 per pax ($50)
Songs of the Sea: $8 per pax ($16)Total spent: $88
Time spent together: Priceless, Seriously!

Board the train to Somerset to catch the 5.20pm movie at Cathay Cineleisure. Bought tixs for the movie; 'Lost in Los Angeles' according to Nadia. Nah it was the movie; 'What Happens in Vegas'. After the movie, they proceed to Al- Falah, to do their maghrib prayers. After, Nadia have done her private business, they went to Coffee Bean to have some 'Chillax' session. While sitting, Nadia came up with this wild imagination of a group of Arab guys were being watched by an undercover agent, all because the guy siting beside us was alone and reading a book titled ' Mind Games'. Yeah.. Hakim was like ??? (rolled eyes), but there was still a possibility. So chop chop, we decided to make our way back...

Instead, he was send for the in- house Steersman course at Brani Base. Some will think, "You are going to ORD soon, why go?". Well first, you'll get to change your white badge to black colour. Second, the chances of you going to KINS for reservist is lower. Now who don't want that.
Its a one week course, with a theory and Oral test at the end. Therefore, the whole week was cramp with; Rules of the Sea, Emergencies at Sea and Navigational Aids at the Sea(Traffic lights at the sea). Even the time spend with Nadia, the mind was not at ease. It was to occupied with the modules. After the one week, it was time for the theory test. It was a give away test, provided you pay attention in the class. If you passed, you'll be send for the Oral test. The thought of you in the Captain's office, one to one, he asked you, you answer... Its sound so intimidating.

The smell of burning rubber still lingers in the air. The sun doesn't shows any sign that it'll barge from its spot. HaNa was among the hundreds of people crowding a strip of road in front of Padang. Standing behind the temporary barriers. As soon as they arrived, a car with the word 'Safety' was making its round. Soon, a mighty roar echoes and a F1 car screams past them.
Yupe... the F1 Mclaren Mercedes Team decide to come to town, with the help of Johnnie Walker. With the hype of Singapore organising the first night race, this was a good way to bring Singaporeans closer and see the might of a F1 car. HaNa stayed throughout the rest of the show. Instead of Hakim, who is a F1 Fanatic, it was Nadia who persuade Hakim to stay till finish. Once the car have parked safely in its temporary garage, the Driver, Mika Hakkinen came out and wave to the crowd. A legend waving to a crowd of F1 fanatics, it was sure a great sense of achievement for them.

Le Tour de Pasir Ris

2008-03-16T07:10:00.000-07:00

Singapore was proud to organize the 'Le Tour' series after Paris, France and Langkawi, Malaysia have organised it for many years. All attention was shift to the inaugural Le Tour De Pasir Ris at Pasir Ris Park. It was also history in the making when female racer took part in this inaugural race. Nur Syuhada aka Ada' berbau, was the proud winner of the Yellow jersey for the women category, Othman Bin Hassan aka Cik Man was the winner for the men category. The only hiccup that the organizer face was the start of the race was delayed, after a late entry by Sharif aka Sarip representing kampung dusun, from the men category. After that, the race was an entertaining one. Sharif was face with a setback when his bicycle face some technical problems, forcing him to change his bicycle. "Everything was going well, when I experienced a flat tyre," said Sarip. As for the female category, there was big scare at first when one of the racer, Mak Dira might went the wrong way. While all the action was taken place in the chasing pack, Ada' Berbau and Nur Hayati aka Kak Nur was battling for the first place. Hasani aka Sani Jalan Laju was initially leading the men category, when he accidentally, went for a pitstop, making way for Cik Man to overtake him.

"The strategy didn't go as what we plan. Well maybe next year we might eventually win the yellow jersey," a dejected Sani said. Overall it was a good race and an experience not to be missed.

Fever part 2

2008-03-09T07:06:00.000-07:00

Just this morning, Hakim went to give Changi General Hospital a visit together with the lovely Nadia. This was after much consultation from Doktor Nadia, herself. Luckily, they arrived there quite early, as the Accident & Emergency (A&E) area was quite empty. Therefore, their waiting time was quite fast. Hakim was directed to take an X-ray picture of his chest and an ECG test on his heart rate. This was because, Hakim experience a collapsing sensation of his chest. X- ray come out to be 'OK'. ECG turn out to be ' Normal'. The doctor did suspect that Hakim have a Heart Attack, but since he was young, she says its not possible, but maybe. So there Hakim was with his trusty sidekick, Nadia back in the ECG room to do a re-test. It turn out to be 'normal' like the first one. Finally, Hakim was able to go back home, and given a 2 day MC and 3 days of Light duty.

Fever...

Just yesterday, HaNa went out, to experience the full force of the Sun at Changi Beach. I you want you're thinking right now. No, they didn't go there alone, you dirty minded peoples (smack! smack!). They went there because, Nadia's family held a BBQ session, and invited Hakim to tag along. Its a day of pampering their stomachs to BBQ chickens, satay, chicken franks and crab sticks. Apart from just eating, they did try the theory of; 'if u dig the sand deeper, you will get to the other side of the world'. After they dig and dig and dig and dig... they decided to abandon the idea when they encounter, earthly wringlers doing some shitty business (literally). Overall, its a day of relax and laughter.

Discovery is the word

2008-03-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

Catch up .... catch up.... time for some catching up.

Last Monday, both HaNa went for a swim together at SAFRA Tampines. Its was the 1st time Hakim teaching Nadia the breathing technique, floating and a little bit of swimming, breaststroke. Its was both an eye opener for both HaNa, doing something fruitful rather than just splashing around.

When Sunday came, both HaNa went to Singapore Science Center(SC), accompanied by, Amirah(Nadia's sister), Shikin (Cousin) and Sharif(Shikin's bf). Its been awhile since they visited SC, everything was different. Upon arrival we were greeted by a Sphinx, inconjuction with the Pharaoh exhibition in SC. The place where there used to be pirate ships and figurines were now revamped into a new SC attraction called, 'WaterWorks'. The entry price for SC is only $6, but here's the catch, if you were to plan to give SnowCity a visit, you can get both at a low price, for only $15. Any Tom Dick and Harry will realised that the value pack is worth the money.

After getting the tickets, they hurried their way to SnowCity. Experiencing the feel of sliding down the snow slope while on a rubber tube, was exhilarating. After the guys got their body numb, they then make their way to SC. They were like kids getting their freedom to roam around. However, time eventually catch up on them, it was closing time, and a few exhibits are still not visited/played. After hurrying their way to the exit, they then had the dinner at McDonalds, located in the SC compound itself.

Once their stomach and their energy have been recharged, they make their way to Masjid Al-Mukminin to do their Asar and Maghrib prayers.

CJ7

2008-02-20T18:51:00.000-08:00

After visiting the National Museum, HaNa decided to catch the latest movie. Make their way to the Cathay and bought 2 tickets on CJ7 show. Here's the sypnosis,

Ti(Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow can attend an elite private school. Despite his father's good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the "cool" toys, stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can't afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky--the junk yard! While out "shopping" for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre "pet" with extraordinary powers. Armed with his "CJ7" Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life. But CJ7 has other ideas and when Dicky brings it to class, chaos ensues.

A visit to Louvre

2008-02-20T17:58:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend, both Hakim and Nadia visited Louvre in Paris, to catch the latest exhibition on Greek Mythology. It was such a beautiful place to be, the lighting, the people, the air... (ouch! who pinced me?). Actually, its was at the National Museum of Singapore. It was the first time, the Greek masterpieces was brought out from Louvre and put on exhibition in South East Asia. So be proud Singaporean, for being the first. (OO...oo..OO...oo). The exhibition was able to immerse HaNa on the kind of society the Greeks used to live in.

The first part of the exhibition shows us, some of the great thinkers during that era, such as Alexander the Great. Next part was the roles of the man, woman and child in the Greek society. Man was considered at the top of the chain. Woman was to stay in the house making clothes for the family and given the children their early education on life. The interesting part that caught Hakim's attention was that, at that time, women shall not leave their house, unless veil or accompanied by a man. Which brings the issue of hijab. Finally, children was not given a name until they reached the age of 10. Partly due to the low survival rate among the children. 1 in every 2 babies will die and 1 in every 4 children will not reached the age of 9. The last part of the exhibition explores the world of Heroes, Gods and culture during that era. Both of them leave the museum with a big satisfaction on their face. Basically due to the feeling that, they have visited Louvre.

Pictures to come...

JUNO... a great Movie to catch

2008-02-08T20:44:00.000-08:00

"...The rate of teenage abortions in Singapore has remained relatively stable in the past 10 years. In 1995/1996, the most recent period for which comparative date was available, the abortion rate among our teenagers aged 15 - 19 was low, compared to other developed countries."

source:http://www.getformesingapore.com/health_abortions.htm

While the princess is away on a holiday, Hakim catch a latest movie on his loyal Philips MP4. From the excerpts above, you can probably know what the movie is about. The movie JUNO, tackles the issue of Teen Pregnancy and abortion. It tells the story of a teenage girl who unexpectedly gets herself pregnant. At first, abortion was the only 'perfect' solution for her. Until she realised that foetus had fingernails. So having freak out, she decided to go for an adoption...

Tips on how to get into a healthy state of mind

2008-01-11T18:23:00.000-08:00

Take a mental "time out"
Why it helps:
When you feel anxious or stressed about a situation, it is easy to be "trapped" in it for a long time. Instead of dwelling on it, take a mental "time out" from the situation.
What you can do:
Get away from your desk for a while. A short break can help you relax and improve your mood. It will make it easier for you to assess your problem from a different light, or at least be in a better frame of mind to tackle the problem again.

Clear the clutter
Why it helps:
Whether it's your desk in the office or your study room at home, it is difficult to de-stress if you have unfiled papers, bills and magazines lying all over the place. A cluttered work space also means you waste time looking for items.
What you can do:
Set up a system to manage your papers at work. Use a file rack or a filing box to hold folders for active projects. Completed projects and reference materials can be stored in a filing cabinet. Clear the clutter regularly.

Make time for family and friends
Why it helps:
Forming strong relationships with family and friends are one of the best ways to maintain a healthy state of mind.
What you can do:
Make time for loved ones and good friends where possible.
Try to have a meal with your family regularly.
Respond to emails or text messages that friends send you. A simple reply can go a long way in maintaining these friendships.

Focus on what's positive
Why it helps:
When you recognise the positive qualities you have and the achievements you have made, it helps to reinforce your sense of self-worth.
What you can do:
Keep a notepad by your bedside. Before retiring for the night, write down at least one good thing that happened to you that day. This is an effective way of reminding yourself to pay attention to the positive things in your life.

Visit a quiet place
Why it helps:
Amid the noisy bustle of daily life, places like public parks and gardens, museums and places of worship are an oasis of peace and tranquility for our stressed minds.
What you can do:
Find a quiet place near your home or workplace. Make it your personal getaway whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Be able to laugh about it
Why it helps:
When you are under pressure, you may feel worried and frustrated. If left unchecked, it can lead to feelings of anxiety. However, if you are able to see the humour in the situation, it makes it seem more manageable.
What you can do:
Get into the habit of looking out for the funny or positive side of situations. You will not only see things in a different light, but you will also be able to laugh about it. This can significantly reduce your feelings of stress and anxiety.

Equip yourself with more than one coping skill
Why it helps:
It is important to equip yourself with more than 1 coping method. If the usual means of coping with stress cannot be employed, an alternative method can be used.However, do not resort to excessive drinking, drugs-taking and self-harm, as these are harmful to our physical and emotional health.
What you can do:
You may wish to try the following:
Deep breathing
Relaxation exercises
Fighting negative thoughts with positive self-talk
Exercise regularly
Talking it through with a friend or family member

Asthma Alert!!!

2008-01-11T17:33:00.000-08:00

Asthma is a very common disorder worldwide, affecting people of all ages, race or sex. In Singapore, about 5% of adults and 20% of children have asthma. Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the airways, the breathing tubes that carry oxygen in and out of the lungs.

Asthma attacks result from sensitive airways that react to certain trigger factors. These triggers may be different for different people. Asthma tends to run in families. People with asthma also have an inherited tendency (called atopy) to develop other allergic conditions such as eczema and allergic rhinitis.

(taken from Health Promotion Board)

Recently, Nadia was down with sickness. It all started with a heavy feeling on her chest. Breathing difficuty, shivering, vomitting, dizzyness and difficulty to pass motion. Felt sorry for Nadia, cause, she have been having this shortness in breathing for almost a week. Before Hakim went to work, he accompanied Nadia to a General Practitioneer(GP) in her hood. The doctor prescribed her with asthma control tablet, but the doctor was not sure what exactly Nadia was suffering from. The only side effect of this tablet is that, it will make the person to shiver, the person will start to slur and unable to carry out his/her daily routine for the day. So he recommend her to come back if there was no improvement after 2-3 days.

After taking the medication and still no improvement, Nadia decided to go straight to the nearest Hospital, Changi General Hospital. The doctor did ran some test, to check whether is she suffering from asthma;
Able to speak in a sentence...OK
Shortness in breath... Not OK
Whizzing sound when breathing... Nil
The doctor didn't knew what's wrong with her, cause she didn't meet the criteria. So the doctor ran some ECG on her to check on her heart rate. When the result was read out, the doctor say, "... seems ok." This prove to be the part that makes Nadia worried. After the consultation, the doctor prescribe her with some antibotics tablets, as he suspected that her is 'bengkak'.

The word, 'seems ok' continue to play in Nadia's mind. All the 'What If' questions starts to appear. Well, no matter what medication you take, if your mind is not at rest, you will never get well. After 4 days, Nadia pestered Hakim & her mum to bring her back to the same hospital. So there they were again waiting for her name to be called. The doctor ran a few test again, this time she was asked to put on the oxygen mask. The ECG test was carried on her after that. This time, the doctor did managed to get something from the test. Her heart was beating faster than normal. So the doctor suspected that she was having the initial stage of an asthma attack. Her whole body was shivering uncontrollably. The doctor prescribed her with a stronger asthma control tablet.

Alhamdulillah, Nadia's health is now improving day by day.

Hakim; Jaga diri bebaik. Yang penting, jaga ur makan.

Hepi befdae my Lady (Part 2)

2008-01-09T23:06:00.001-08:00

The adventure continues...

After almost half an hour burning their excess fat, they finally arrived at the busstop. Not to mention, Nadia was already on all four. Their next destination... Harbourfront Interchange. While sitting in the bus, Hakim then remembered that they were supposed to do some "'Muhasabah Diri" at Mt Faber, but what the heck. The thought of catching a R21 movie came to their mind, so they made their way to GV Vivocity. But due to the time constraint, they decided to make their way straight to Bugis. So instead of having the "Muhasabah Diri" Session at Mt Faber, they did it in the bus.

It was almost evening when they arrived at Bugis. Thinking that Nadia wanted to get a PSP for herself, they decided to head to Sim Lim. Her dream of buying PSP was fulfilled on her bday. Not to mention, it was Hakim's turn to be on all four, after going up and down SimLim for almost 2 times. So it was a sweet revenge for Nadia.

3rd surprise and final surprise;

after solat maghrib, we went to Al-turka- a turkey restaurant- it was darn nice and fulfilling. A plate can really made us full. Kenyang giler babi nyer beb! Its 9pm... tot of watching movie.. but the timing didnt allow us to. So we went home. Sob2..

Nadia: Thanks my dear white chocolate... i enjoyed myself and hope to spend more time like dat wif u... (u noe i noe, public duno)

Lights; Checked
Camera; Checked
Sound (Radio checked, 1 2 3. Test test); Checked

Standby, On Air in 3... 2... 1...

29th December 1986, a child was brought to this earth by Abdul Rahman and Nadeemah. Nur Nadia was the name given to the cute baby. Fast foward, the date was 29th December 2007. Twenty- one years have past. Many things have happened. Be it good or bad. Thanks to Allah for giving her chance to live in this world for 21 years. Just pray she will haf longer life. Amien!

So, guess wat happend on her 21st birthday? Party?!
on the 29th dec 07, Mr Hakim surprised her with lots of stuff. First, he came to her house without telling her. He used Ain (Nadia's sister) to 'surprise' her. So he came in with a cake and prepared it on a table while nadia was preparing something for Hakim for the 2nd yr anniversary in her room.
Wen he called her and asked what was she doing in her room. She went out and was 'shocked' and 'surprised' with the 'surprise'. ( noe y its in open&close invertd? coz her sister accidentally blurted out the secret) So, she pretended to be surprised and der they celebrated her part one birthday wif her family.

Now, move to part two; he brought her to harbourfront station and she started to 'nag' asking where is he going to bring her. Nadia, was almost tricked in believing that Hakim will be bring he to Labradour park. But as we waited, a bus with 'Visit France' theme came. That's the 'Mount Faber' bus that we took. It took them us around 15 mins, to reached the Marina Deck. They sat at this area that overlook the cable car. As they settle down, Hakim took out 2 glasses and a bottle of Peach Sparkle. While they drank, he asked her to close her eyes, and lift up her hands (like asking for Doa). As she close her eyes, he put a ______ (bracelet/watch) on her wrist and asked her to open her eyes. It was a SWATCH watch. It is sooo nice and simple. She loves it sooo much. After thanking him, Hakim asked Nadia to close her eyes again. At that moment, she thought that he will give her another present, but NOPE! he expressed his most inner thoughts and feelings towards her. That goes like this;

"Being with you for the past 2 years, this is what i felt...

Nadia,
Being with you is like riding a rollercoaster.

Its a surprise in every turn. Of course, we do have our ups and downs.

Alhamdulillah we managed to get thru this, so far.

Every problems can be solved.

Remember, you are not alone. Together we stand. I'll be by your side.

When it's get cold, and it's feel like the end, there's no place to go.

I'll try my best to hold your hand and make the best of it.

Nadia,

You make me like a child.

You are able to make me weak. You are able to make me strong.

Your voice echoes in my heart.

You are the sun in my universe.

You give me hope, when I'm at lost.

Nadia,

I would nevery say its easy to win your heart.

Risk, creativity, all comes into place. That's why you are special.

It's always at times when we get into a fight.

That we knew how much you meant to me.

You can't rest, you can't eat.

That's when I'll try my best to win you back.

Nadia,

Lets make this happen.

Lets make this relationship last.

No matter what happen, I hope, we'll keep holding on to our belief.

We'll work hand in hand.

Happy birthday to my friend, to my dear, Nadia

Happy 2 year Anniversary, my love."

At first, she was smiling and laughing, but that 'joke' made her cried instead. Those words were sooo touching. They touched her heart and she was crying non-stop. Oh ya.. gues wat? He DIDNT bring even a tissue. So this poor lady wiped her tears with her hands and den something struck his head and he gave her a small towel. Haiyya!

After some 'romantic' atmosphere, they headed to Faber point. We took some nice pix... As they were making their way down, Hakim realised that it was still early. He forgot what he was supposed to do at Mt Faber. Well, maybe he will remember it later... (to be continued)

Shopping spree

2007-11-28T07:18:00.000-08:00

The sleeping giant had just wake up and here's his frst update.

Nothing much realli, throughout our absence. Except for some quarrels among ourselves and not forgetting submitting ourselves to our working life. Well, as for today, Hakim went on a shopping spree... woohoo!!! Its very hard for a guy like Hakim to go for a shopping unless he knows exactly what his looking for. Anyway, what's the occassion, Hakim's sister, Atiqa's birthday and his nephew, Haziq's birthday. Apart from that, Hakim's Mp4 dies off. So 'planning' to buy a new Mp4 for Hakim.

Once arrived at Tampines Mall (TM), Hakim's brain straight away control his feet to various watch outlet in the shopping mall. First was the G- Shock outlet, over the budget. Next, was the City Chain outlet, was slightly above the budget. Lastly, the SWATCH outlet, same as CityChain. So went back to CityChain, have a look at the Levi's watch that caught my eye. After much thinking, "Ok, I'll have this one."

One down, another one to go, Haziq's birthday gift. Think toddler, think Toys'R'Us. Straight went to the toddler's section. Need to look for something cheap but... worth the money. Finally, a Doctor Playset caught my attention. Sure it would be great for Haziq to get this playset. Who knows, this will spark his intention to be a doctor, Amin.

Well, after getting those two their birthday present, Hakim went to a Challenger outlet at Eastpoint. Actualli, before goin there, Hakim have the brand model of the Mp4 that he want in his head. So here's the new addition to Hakim's family...

Now, I'm into black. I have a black phone, a black mp4. Well here's

Proud of it

2007-11-08T22:21:00.000-08:00

Well, 7 months, 54 blocks to go.

Recently, just spending my time at home, watching movies thru the internet. While Nadia has been busy with her work. One particular movie that I really love to watch is; The Guardian. Particularly due to the fact that its about the Coast Guard. Eventhough my jobscope is not dropping down from the Helo and rescuing people, its still about the Sea. Fyi, our main primary role is to maintain maritime security in Singapore territorial waters, during peacetime. Our Secondary role, to assist the Singapore Navy during wartime. That's make us an all round role in protecting Singapore's integrity. Enouf about CG, Just hope nothing happen, Insya Allah.

At Last...

2007-11-08T22:02:00.000-08:00

This year's Eid, both of us didn't celebrate that much. I guez. as times goes by, we tend to just sit at home. As for this year, both of us only went to one house, for house visiting, execpt for Nadia she went to two houses. The first open house, was Masyithah's house, which Hakim didn't managed to make it, due to work. The second open house, was Liyana's house, which both of us went. So now you know how pathetic our Eid Celebration is. Oh... not forgetting, Hakim went to Nadia's house.

Apart from Eid Celebration, Hakim went to finalise his application for University of Exeter. (Pray hard) Really hope to get into this University. Thou, the feeling of not knowing what I'll get myself into is there. So if my application has been accepted, I'll be flying to UK, by next year September. Will be spending 4 years of my life there. Pray hard...

Exeter.

2007-10-19T05:18:00.000-07:00

After giving the information that Hakim have gathered during the meeting with Ms Ginny, to his dad. His dad, suggested that Hakim apply for University of Exter @ UK. So, if Hakim's application is accepted, he will be spending 4 years studying abroad.

1 year of Foundation Studies

Furthering studies...

2007-10-19T05:01:00.001-07:00

Date: 16/10/07
Day: Tuesday

The night before, Hakim asked his dad whether he could continue his studies overseas. His father said yes. So the next day, which is Tuesday, Hakim meet up with his other half, Nadia, to accompany him to the agent, who'll take care of the application. On his mind, he only knew RMIT, Royal Melbourne Institue of Technology. As its what his sister has recommended to him before he started his polytechnic studies. It was an eye opening experience from the explanation given by the agent, Ms Ginny at EduLink. She go thru the different type of programs provided by different Universities that suits Hakim's qualification and needs. These are the universities:

RMIT, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (www.rmit.edu.au)
University of Exeter @ United Kingdom (www.exter.ac.uk)

After going thru the explanation given, it turn out that studying in UK is cheaper than in Australia. Thou, the tuition fees in UK are expensive than Aus, the accomodation and personal expenses is cheaper than Aus, according to Ms Ginny. After gathering all the informations, both Hakim and Nadia take their leave, and proceed to the nearest surau to do their asar prayers. After finishing their prayers, Nadia bum into Masyithah, who had just finished her work. Hakim and Nadia, then decided to have our dinner with Masyithah and Asyura at Breeks, Ngee Ann City. After having a hearty meal, they then parted with Masyithah and Asyura, and proceed to Mustafa Centre, since Nadia need to buy a perfume for herself and for her sister's birthday. After the getting the stuff, they then make their way back.

Hari Raya Sorrows...

2007-10-19T04:45:00.000-07:00

Selamat Hari Raya Adil Fitri to all.
Minal aidil wa faizin.

Setelah sebulan kita umat Islam berpuasa, akhirnya muncul kembali bulan Syawal, menyambut kemenangan buat kita. Alhamdulillah, pengalaman berpuasa pada tahun ini cukup berbeza, kerna tahun ini, Hakim berpuasa semasa bertugas. Berbuka bersama teman sekerja dan bersahur di tempat kerja. Tahun ini terasa, bulan Ramdhan berlalu dengan pantas, tidak seperti tahun- tahun yang lepas. Apa- apa pun, Alhamdulillah Hakim dapat berpuasa dengan penuh.

Cuma yang kesiannyer, Hakim tidak dapat bersolat Idulfitri pada tahun ini, kerna perlu bertugas. Apa punya nasib dah. Dua minggu sebelum Hari Raya, pekerja- pekerja Islam berkumpul untuk melakukan 'balloting'. Tengoklah nasib, tahun ini saper yang dapat ber-Raya. Untuk Hakim, nasib tidak membelahi beliau, nama beliau di keluarkan pada Hari Raya yg ke-dua, posisi yang ke-enam. Apa la punya nasib, percentage untuk beliau pergi bercuti sungguh tipis sekali. Apa la punya nasib ye. Tapi tak mengapa, dapat jugak merasakn suasana Hari Raya di tempat kerja bersama rakan- rakan muslim.

Terasa juga Hiba di hati, pabila melihat ibu bapa bersiap sedia, memaki baju raya untuk ke masjid, dan kita duduk di kerusi memakai baju kerja. Tapi apa boleh buat kan, kerja tetap kerja. Berbekalkan ketupat, rendang, sambal goreng, Hakim berlalu pergi ke tempat kerja. Di tempat perhentian bus, terlihat kaum muslimin memakai baju raya, dan Hakim cuma berpakaian kerja. Apalah punya nasib... Tapi Alhamdulillah, rakan- rakan yg berkerja dapat menghilangkan rasa hiba di dalam hati. Selepas abis kerja, Hakim ikut ber-raya bersama kaum kerabat, ke rumah pakcik dan nek keling.

Dapat jugak ber-Raya

Bend it Like Beckham

2007-10-04T03:00:00.000-07:00

Finally Hakim have decided what to bu, since SPF is giving away $100 of welfare monies for each officer, so he bought a Adidas Soccer Boot. Initially decided to buy two shoes, one turf shoes and another street soccer shoes, to make full use of the money given. But, upon reachng the store, Hakim immediately went to the Adidas area and started to look for soccer boots. Although the shops is having a 20% discount, the price is still quite expensive, but in my mind, the Police is paying for me. Yupe, so i decided to chose the Adidas absolute. Apart from it being personnally design by David Beckham, that's not the reason why i bought. It's because of the design and colour, yes dear, there must be red colour in it. So instead of walking out of the store buying two shoes, Hakim managed to only walk out with one shoe, and one big smile on his face, thinking, Wau, I only bought this for $10. Good buy...sort of.

Turkish Delight

2007-10-04T02:29:00.000-07:00

Day: Wednesday
Date: 03rd Oct 2007

Its been almost 2 weeks since both of us meet up and went out together. Therefore, we planned to pleasure ourselve with some turkish delights. After Nadia have finished her work, we make our way to Paya Lebar, since Nadia wanted to go to NOVA Furnishing located at A-Z Building, beside Geylang NPC. By the time we were out of the building, it was already 1830hrs. So we decided to make our way to Darul Arqam to do our Maghrib prayers and also break our fast.
After our prayers, we then make our way to Bugis. It was 1955hrs, when we arrived at SOFRA Turkish Restautrant, at Shaw Towers, Middle road. We were placed beside the window panel, that get us the view of the Middle road itself. So you can look at people and cars crossing the junction. Haha... its seem boring thou. After browsing thru the menu, we decided to order:

Nadia: Izgara Kofte (Grilled flat meatball served with Turkish pillav and Salad) & Hazelnut coffee
Hakim: Iskender Kebap & SOFRA Mocktail

The serving time was quite fast, since there's not much customers around. Once our food was served, both of us was savouring our dishes. As for Hakim, the dining experience was totally difference as of 2 years ago. The place has gone some expansion but the menus have gotten shorter. Yupe, the dish that Hakim wants was no longer served. After finishing our meals and slack for awhile. We make our way back home.

Pampering our Stomach

2007-09-18T08:28:00.000-07:00

Date: 18th September 2007
Day: Tuesday

Meet up with Nadia after her work. Our main itinery for today was to pamper our stomach. Accompanied Nadia back to her place, since she need to do her prayers. After that, we make our way to Vivocity, Habourfront.

The time was almost 7, so we hurried to Swensens' to make a reservations. After making sure we can a seat, we make our way to Masjid Temengong. Along the way, we stop by at the Cheer Kiosk to get a drink for ourselves. We eventually break our fast, while on the way to the Masjid. After we have done our Maghrib prayers, we make our way back to the Swensens'. First thing first, the seat that they reserved for us was great. We get the view of the Selat Sinki. Maybe the waitress thought that we are there to celebrate either one of our birthday or anniversary. Then came the menu, the difference between the other Swensen restaurant and this one at Vivo is that, Swensen at Vivo caters more to Grill and Seafood. So if you are the type that got any pantang like, cannot eat prawn or mussels or those seafood stuff, you might want to skip this.

The order for the day was;
Nadia: Fisherman Catch and Ice Cappucino
Hakim: Carboiled Steak (can't remember the exact name) and Ice Mocha

We were planning to order some desserts after our main course, but luckily, we managed to curb our temptations. Coz, after the hearty meal, both of us were full to the brim. Anyway, there is a salad bar that we can just take as many as we want. While waiting for the food to go down, we managed to come out a phase to know how full we are, which is;

Lapar gile babi sampai nak mampus dan tak bleh angkat
Lapar gile babi sampai nak mampus
Lapar gile bagi
Lapar gile
Lapar
Moderate
Kenyang
Kenyang gile
Kenyang gile babi
Kenyang gile babi sampai nak mampus
Kenyang babi sampai nak mampus dan tak bleh angkat

So yesterday was only 'kenyang gile babi'. After finishing our meal, we make our way to Habourfront Station. We took the train to Sengkang. Along the way, as usual Nadia have to layan Hakim's lame jokes. Sori dear...

Overall rating: 8.5

Little words... Lots of thoughts

2007-09-09T10:19:00.000-07:00

Glance at the PAST.
Frown at the PRESENT.
Stare at the FUTURE.

[Glance at the past]--->
Glance is to have a quick look on something. Therefore, have a quick look of what you have done for the past few days, weeks or even years. Carry any baggage that is useful to you and leave those that burdens you.

[Frown at the present]--->
Frown is to scrutinise on something that caught you eye. Therefore, always scrutinise on what's happening to your life at the present as it will somehow, makes your future an enjoyable or worse moments.

[Stare at the Future]--->
Stare is to have a hard look and thought in something that caught your eye. Therefore, always look forward. Think about what the future holds for you. No point looking back.

That's what keeps running on my mind. Its easy to say, but trust me, its need mental.

No use of saying something that will make the heart stop a beat, or, make the mind think twice. Sometimes, you tried soo hard to please someone you loved, it sometimes backfires.
Sometimes, you loved someone so much, every word comes from their mouth means the world to you. It'll depend on how your mood for tomorrow, the day after or even the whole week.

Wednesday(29/08/07):
Meet up with Nadia after her work. Our main agenda for today was the Archery and Air Rifle Shooting at HomeTeamNS at Bukit Batok. Since feeling that going there by train would be longer, we decided to take the bus from Sengkang to Woodlands, than take the train to Bukit Gombak from there. Therefore the journey begins...
Took bus 161 from Sengkang to Woodlands. Upon reaching Woodland Interchange, Nadia states that she was quite hungry, so we make a detour to Pizza Hut @ Causeway Point. Our order was a Couples Hut Meal, the choice of pizza was Splittza. Since our experience there was not that good. First thing first, the service there was damn slow. Since this is our 2nd time, our grade to the place have been reinforce. Meaning that its still the same. Eventhough they states that our our will be arriving around 15 to 17 mins, our order eventually came after we wait patiently for 25mins. Since we are slightly late, we didn't have the chance to savour our meal.
The time was already 7.45pm, when we were out of Causeway point. Hakim than decided to take the taxi as not to waste any time anymore. We arrived the Clubhouse at 8.05pm, went straight to the counter, to take our voucher.

First point, the archery range. Since both of us a first timer in this sport, it was a great learning experience. They gave us a few shots at the 10meter target. After the 10th shot, we finally get the hang of it.
Second point, the Air Rifle range. The experience was a first time for Nadia. Was saying that she can't do it, the rifle was heavy, can't see the target, was some of the excuses. But after the 6th shot, and seeing that there was holes in her target card, she start to make an improvement. But in the end, sorry for not being abled to take your photo dear.
After the event, we make our way back to Sengkang.

Since it was Hakim's birthday on the 27th August, Nadia give him a K-Swiss watch. Thank you dear for the gift. Sorry again...

Something Special...

Sunday(26/08/07):
Hakim: Have lunch Sakura Downtown East together with my family. The occasion was to celebrate my dad and my birthday. The buffet was fill with Sushis and Japanese cuisine. So for those who like Japanese cuisine, here's the place to go. Make sure you go during lunch, cause it cost cheaper. After cutting our birthday cake, it was present giving time. Here's what my family gave me:

From my dad; a $100 Isetan gift voucher

From my mum; a Billabong T's and a Baju Kurung.

From my Sisters and Bro- In Law; a MP4 player and also a Manchester United 06/07 season Away Jersey.

Nadia: Went straight home after work.

Tuesday:
Meet up with Nadia. Decided to give the Changi International Airport. I guez its been awhile since we set our feet at the Airport. As usual, to live up to our throats standard kind of food, we went to Swensen's Restaurant. After getting ourselves a seat, browsing thru of the menu, we ordered:
Main Course:

Dessert(drumroll please):
CHOCOLATE FONDUE!!!

After satisfying our stomach, we went straight back. After reaching home, both our thoughs were saying, so much of not eating standard food.

Wednesday:

Hakim: Start the day by going for his driving practical in the morning at 0830hrs. After the lesson, went straight to Changi General Hospital, for a medical appointment.
1st funny story:
When my number was called, went to the allocated room, and give a knocked on the door. The first thing that caught my eye upon seating, was this instrument (a small microscope) that was placed on the doctor's desk. After a brief intro of myself to the docter, my question to the use of the instrument was answered. The doctor took the instrument and poke it in my nose. Although it was kind of painful, tried my best of hiding the feeling. Gung-ho la konon. After a few seconds, drops of water trickle down my cheek. So much of being a Gung-ho.

2nd funny story:
As the doctor was about to say his final sentence. He give me a wierd look, then he said, "Eh? Your nose crooked eh?" Haha...

After the appointment, went home and spend the whole day lazing around.

Nadia: Went straight home after word.

Thursday:

Hakim: First day of my Microsoft Words 2003 for Windows Course, sponsored by SPF. Since the course starts at 0830hrs, arrived bugis early to have my breakfast there. After topping up my stomach, went to the place, Prime Center at Middle road. The night before, went to streetdirectory.com for the map of the place. Save the picture and put it in my phone. Little did i realised that it was no use, as it was damn small, stupid of me. Decided to just follow my instincts, finally reach the intended place. During lunch, decided to have a walk at Bugis Street and Bugis Junction. After the day have ended, went to meet up with Nadia at Paya Lebar Station.

Nadia: After work, meet up with Hakim at Paya Lebar MRT Station. Since she's fasting, we can't do much, so finally decided to laze around at Joo Chiat Complex. When it was about 20mins to break fast, make our way to Haig Road. After breaking fast at Haig Road, went to Ubi CDC for her driving lesson.

Friday:

Hakim: Started to feel heaty. Arrived Bugis early again, have my breakfast at Delifrance. During lunch, decided to make my way to the Converse Shop at Bugis Junction. Have a look a the shoes there. I was in dilema, to buy or not to buy the shoe. When it was getting late, make my way to the Sultan Mosque for the Friday prayers. After the prayers, went to Banquet at Raffles Hospital for my lunch. At 1500hrs, I was back in the classroom. Finally, the 2 day course have ended. After much thinking, decided to just go and buy the shoe at the Converse shop. Here is the shoe that I've bought:

Normal Price: $70/-
Sale Price: $39.90

Nadia: After work, went to Compasspoint with tcher Cheryl to look for tcher Doreen birthday gift. After much walking, decided to have a go on another day.

Bigger Repsonsibility

2007-08-12T03:28:00.000-07:00

"With greater powers, comes greater responsibility" said Uncle Ben to Peter Parker.

The above statement do applies to me also. After finally serving faithfully to my country for 1 year, my rank have been raised to Sergent. No doubt it feels as thou you are more senior than the rest of the serving nsmen, but it comes with a price. Admin wise, Meal Allowance, Updating of Leave Allowance, to sum it all up, the welfare of the NSmen are in your hand. Next step now is to get my in-charge to send me to the Steersman course. Hope he'll handpicked me(prayed). Of all, the most exciting part of my rank & my vocation, I received the highest pay with compared to any of the department, with exceptional of those NSPI thou. Anyway, got to start saving somewhere. Alot of stuff in my mind that i want to achieved/get, and it got to use moneys.

That's for now, reporting off from duty, SC SGT Md Al-Hakim.

Mood: Thinking

People says that if you spend with a person for a long time, you'll tend to be like that person.

As for an example; I used to like Asam Pedas. But eversince with Gurl, I tend not to prefer Asam Pedas. Wierd isn't it. How a person can influence you. But one thing for sure dear, I'll never fall for Taufik Batisah/ Hady Mirza. Haha... Love you, dear.

Was surfing the net, browsing for old pictures. Can't remember where I upload them previously. Luckily most of them are at Yahoo!. The above picture are taken on the 28th August 2004. Back then, both of us was not even an item. Our first conversation was actually during our first Exco meeting, and it was about work nothing else. Never in my mind that I would one day be with this girl. Of course I do have a tinnie winnie bit of feelings towards this girl. Furthermore, she's attached and so do I. So the possibility of me and her is like 1:1000. Yupe, what a coincidence, I was standing behind her during the photoshot... hmmm scary huh. Aniway that was like 3 years back. Now me and this girl are together, not as a couple living under one roof, not yet, but we are aiming that, insya'Allah.

Gurl has just started work. Office hours, 8am to 5pm. So far so good, from what the reaction when I asked her. A typical conversation;
Me: Mcmaner keje nari?
Gurl: Oklah, tapi penat.
Me: Penat?
Uh!Penat? Haha... ouh i forgot, some people are lucky enough to be paid to sleep thou (Like ME). Aniway, since gurl have started work, sadly to say, our time of contact will be reduce. What to do... work work, more work? Sometimes, I miss the time when you can wake up late not worrying about you getting *&^%*% up by your superior. Man, those days are all gone.

My second phase of NS have just started. So its work, work and work. 1 complete cycle consists of 2 days of work (morning & night shift), and 2 days of 'OFF'. So far nothing to nag about since its onli 1 week im at Loyang. So far so go, lookin forward to meet people. Received my duty roster on my 1st day at work. Alhamdulillah, most of the public holiday falls on my off day. Only thing is that, i'll be working on my Mum's and atiqa's birthday. What to do? work or take off liao.

First of all, alhamdulillah, the first month for the year 2007 have been a smooth ride. Hope for the upcoming months will be the same. Well here are a few things that i hope to achieve by the end of 2007;

Open up a new bank account. Got to start being serious about saving yarh. Insya'Allah by 2008 the some of the money will be up for usage.... ;) ($100- $200 per mth)
Clear all debts ($100)
Sign up with Ubi Driving Centre for my driving license. Hopefully, by the end of the year get my license, so on the 30th we can enjoy!!! ($1000+)
Be dependant. Live on hard earn money.

Yupe, so far thats what i've in mind. I hope with the money i get from my NS allowance will enable me to achieve my aims (crossXfinger).

On my next agenda is... well my relationship with my cheerful, lovable, ~~huggable~~ sayang. Apart from the hugging thingy (hehe), to my dear, i prayed that both of us are able to go thru another year. I really hope we can make this happen, dear. I just hope you feel the same, yarh. Thou sometimes, i feel like syiok sendiri, tapi tkperla kan. I dunno if i were to lose you now, wat would happen. You're my bestest friend that i have.

Finally, good luck to sayang. 2 more weeks to graduation. Hold it there k....

Date/ Day: Saturday, January 13, 2007 (2nd Day)

Tush myself to shower todae. Afta having our breakfast, me and my frends wen to Times Square. Once we reached there, we went our separate ways. While some of my frends go to do some shopping/ look ard, me together with two of my frends went to the COSMO World located in the building itself. Afta spending ard 1hr inside the theme park, we went to have our lunch at Kenny Rogers. After filling our stomach, we make our way back to our Hotel.
After givin our legs the much needed rest, all of us decided to go to the nite market located at Masjid India. Upon reaching there, all of us were separated. Together with me are three of my frends, the rest uncontactable. Eventhou only 4 people left, we carry on with the walk at the Nite Market. Afta buying a few stuff we went back to our hotel to have our dinner...

Kuala Lumpur Conquered!

Date/ Day: Friday, January 12, 2007 (1st Day)

Get to walk out yesterday, since todae, i'll be joinin a group of Coast Guardian for a KL trip. Reached Seah Im Interchange at around 0745hr.
At 0850hr, we board the bus that was goin to bring us to Tuas Chckpoint. What surprised me is how hassle free the system is, all you need to do is just scan your passport and present you thumbprint to be scan, afta that you are done. Afta goin thur the customs at Malaysia, I was assigned to Coach 8, my tour guide, Uncle Ramli.
It took us 6 hour to reached KL, including the stop at Yong Peng. Our first destination at KL was the KLCC. We reached there at around 3pm. Realising that there was A&W in the tower, we 'attacked' the food outlet. While munching on my burger, I was thinking; How Singaporean have missed A&W. After filing our stomach, we were taken to our Hotel at Bukit Bintang Street. Name of hotel, Federal Hotel, a 4 star hotel.
After settling down, we left our room and make our way to Petaling street. We took the local transport to get there, the KL LRT. It cost us around RM2.40 only. One thing I could say about those commuters is that, they are more courtesy than us, Singaporeans.Like us, once the train have stop at the station, all those boarding will be crowding infront of the door, same goes for those alighting. But in Malaysia, the commuters queue up to get into the train, at the same time allowing those alighting to go out easily.
We spend 1 and half hour, walking around the night market at petaling street. Unlike, some of my frends, I only bought myself a bermudas for myself. Guess I'm a bit chosey and stingy. With all of our legs aching, we took a cab back to our hotel. After having our dinner at the hotel, while the rest went to Zouk, a few of of us, including me, went to Starbuck to lepak.

1 Year and counting...

A year ago, a few past midnight, my handphone beeps, indicating a message Has received. The message goes like this:

"Its 12am... mark tiz date... 30th dec 05... Nur Nadia belongs to Md Al-Hakim. *wink*"

Yupe... todae marks a year into our relationship. Both of us faces alot of obstacles, even before the relationship starts. Its like the we were never meant to be. But alhamdulillah, we managed to overcome those problem, and so starts our journey together. I can tell you, as the month pass by it seem quite difficult to understand each other. But due to both of our aim; to make this relationship last, we put our differences aside.

If they said that the first year of your relationship is always the honeymoon period, I believe that we have pass that period during the first few months of our relationship. Thou both of us may have some misunderstandings and conflicts, we managed to talk it thru as an adult. I hope that we'll remain the way it is, that is to regard both of us as an adult.

Finally here's my twenty cents for my dear, happy anniversary dear. Thou we have our ups and downs, I'm really glad we are able to go thru it together. Thou we might be different in one way or another, I hope our aim is still the same, ya! I'm sori if I ever hurt your feelings, dgn sengaja atau pun tidak. Sesungguhnyer, mata air you nie ada selenge sikit... hehe. I'm also sori that, sumtimes, I may not be able to layan you. Maybe due to my commitment to my nation and my family. I'm sori for any of my shortcomings. Overall, its been an enjoyable ride with you. I hope the track will keep on goin, my dear. Hope that your love towards me will continue to blossom. Love you...

Afta 1 week off working for Hakim, finally its time for him to have some well deserved rest. So today, afta much thought being put in deciding the program for today, they finally decided to proceed to SENTOSA!

Afta friday prayers, both Hakim and Nadia meet up at Sengkang, Blk 298A (See i remember tau!). Both of them then took the easiest and shortest way to Habourfront interchange, that is by NEL, of coz!. Afta spendin 30 mins underground, they finally reached Habourfront Interchange. Afta that, they took the Orangey Bus, that will take them to Sentosa. It was approximately 1539hr, when they reach Sentosa. First destination... Palawan Beach. Once they arrived at the beach, they went straight to the seaside, to enjoy the afternoon sea breeze. At around 1700hrs, both of them went to see animal show located by the side of the beach. Animals bein shown at the show are, Burmese Python, Eagle, Russian Husky and hornbill. After the show, they have the photo taking session. The onli animal that Hakim and Nadia are interested in are the Burmese python. After much encouragement, Nadia managed to hold her fear. But with one condition, Hakim take together with her.

Afta socializing with the snake, they make their way to Burger King, to fill up their empty stomach. Afta havin their stomach full, they make their way to the Musical Fountain. Althought it was their third time, the feeling was the same when they see it for the first time. Afta the show end, both of them then make their way back to Sengkang, Blk 298A( I do remember!).

Hope you enjoyed your day, dear. As much as I enjoyed being with you. Luv ya!

International Monetary Fund/ World Bank Annual Meeting 2006

2006-09-22T08:52:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since this blog have been updated. Well here goes...

Recently, about 16,000 foreigners come down to Singapore. It was even estimated that, the amount was much more than the initial estimation, which is 16,000. This foreigners were actually ministers, vice- president, president, press and the civil society organisation. The meeting was held from the 11th September to 21st September 2006.

As for me(Hakim), since I was a trainee Police Officer, I was deployed for this Gala Event. The task given to me was, Security Desk. Well what I'm supposed to do was to guard the VIP room, to prevent an intruders from entering the VIP room. For a start here's my working schedule.

Friday- 2nd Shift (7pm to 7am, Saturday Morning)
Sunday- 1st Shift (9am to 9pm)
Monday- 1st Shift (9am to 9pm)
Tuesday- 1st Shift (9am to 9pm)
Wednesday- 1st Shift (9am to 9pm)
Thursday- 1st Shift (9am to 9pm)

Well, from the look of it, there was no Off day given to me, except on the last day which is on the 22nd September 2006. So chiong all the way lor...
On the first day, I was deployed to 'Raffles the Plaza'. First priority for that day, guard the VIP room. For a start everything went smoothly, but as the hours past by, one by one start to feel 'sian'. All of us can't wait to go home and have a nice rest. While waiting for the hours to past by, we managed to have a look into one of the rooms. The first reaction was, 'Wow!'. How I wish I could stay in the room. Finally, after spending 12hrs in the hotel, we are on our way back.
Then from Sunday onwards, I was deployed to 'Marina Mandarin Hotel'. Nothing unusual happen while I'm on duty over there, Alhamdulillah. Everyday, work up at 0530hrs. Leave home by 0630hrs.

Some words

2006-05-21T10:51:00.000-07:00

Heart...
Is the most vital part of a body,
it can make a person stay alive.
That is what im willing to sacrifice,
As you play a vital role in my life,
and you make me stay alive.

Time...
Is the most precious thing in the world,
So are the person I love.
Every moment is too precious especially with you,
Because you're my best friend, my sister and my honey.

Love...
Is the most powerful word in the world,
it can make a person feel joy or broken.
Each time you say, I love you,
It brings joy to me.
Thats how powerful the word can be.

Nadia; Not Schooling
Hakim; Not working

Harlo...Harlo...Harlo...

Finally, both Hakim and Nadia managed to go out and have fun after a busy period of two weeks. Itinerary for today, hmm... how should we say it, was pretty inpromptu. Like wat Nadia says; " Tengok la macamana timing...". Well to start it off, Nadia have to attend her project group discussion at Jln Tenaga. For those who don't know where is it, its located near Telok Kurau Primary and Bedok North Secondary School. Supposedly, her discussion was at 1100hr. Since Nadia woke up quite late, and she got some stuff to do at home, we finally moe off at 1300hr.
After sending Nadia to her friend's house, Hakim went to Tampines Interchange to have a light lunch. At 1500hr, Hakim was back at Jln Tenaga waiting patiently for Nadia to finish. Finally at 1545hr, Nadia called, stating that she has finished her group discussion, Hooray! Our next destination was Coffeebean at Tampines, since Nadia have an appointment with the Dentist at 1820hr, at Sengkang. So both of us basically just sitting at Coffeebean, talking while sipping our drinks. One Pure Chocolate Ice Blend, Kid size for Her, and One Mocha Ice Blend, Small size for Him. After finishing our drinks, we went to Masjid Darul Ghufran to do our Asar prayers. From Masjid Darul Ghufran, we took bus 27 back to Sengkang. Haiz, one word to describe her while both of us make our way to the dentist was, HYSTERIA! Well its not exactly hysteria, but it was nearly there, I told you. Haha...sorry dear. But what the use of Hakim being there and not calming her down. Macamane nak bawak anak pegi doctor nanti...hehe. Ok, enough of embarrassing Nadia. The whole process actually took less than 5 mins. Haha...funny man!

After doing her check up, both of us went back to Tampines as we got a movie to catch, Mission Impossible 3. Acted by Tom Cruise, as Agent Ethan Hunt. Since both of us arrived there early, we went to Masjid Darul Ghufran again to do our Maghrib prayers. It was only 1930hr, when we finish our prayers. Since we got 1hr more to go, we waste our time by doing window shopping. At 2030hr, we make our way to the Cinema. We finally came out of darkness at 2230hr. After the movie, we make our way home...

Pourin out my Thoughts

2006-04-24T00:44:00.000-07:00

To my dearest cupcake, Nadia

The reason why I wrote this letter is that, I just want to pour out the things that have been bothering me this past few days. So here goes...

As what you have already known, my enlistment date are getting nearer and nearer. Pejam celik, Pejam celik, da nak tinggal 1 bulan. I dunno la awak, I just feel that both of us are not ready to go through the upcoming obstacles that awaits us. Especially since, both of us have only been together for almost 4 months already. We're stiil quite new to each other, there's alot we should learn from each other. Furthermore, you are in your final year right now, you'll be at your most busy time, with your studies, project, work and etc. While on the other hand, I will be doing my 4 month in- camp training. So our only hope of meeting, will only be on weekends. But of course you'll be tired, with all your stuff.

I think by now, you have already know alittle bit of me. I can miss the person I love very easily, thats why if possible I want to meet with you everyday, if possible. I also hope you still remember what I've told you before, that when ever I've got the chance to meet up with you, I want to make it as though its the last time I meet up.

Basically, to summerise it all, I'm just scared of the year ahead. I'm scared of the changes, I'm scared of losing you! Maybe, I've reached a point where I can't just live without you by my side. I don't know about you. But that's how I feel towards you, my dear.

I just hope... that the upcoming 2 years will be just a blissful as the past few months I've been with you, my dear.

Your Love,
Muhammad Al-Hakim Bin Abd Kadir

Luckily the bus stop is infront of the Bus stop. While waiting for the bus, suddenly a 'very' confident girl tells that bus 107 goes to Orchard. Luckily for us that Hakim ask the bus driver, and the bus driver said 'NO'. Hish hish hish...hehe, jgn marah sayang. Finally after waiting fro nearly 15mins., bus 133 came.

Luckily for us, Amirah is below 12. Altogether we paid $21 for the entrance fee. If you were to ask me whether was it worth the money. I would tell you, its no, unless you bring along a camera. Inside the Merlion, you get to watch a 5min documentary movie regarding the discovery of Singapore. After the movie, you get to go to the top of the Merlion to get a view of Sentosa and Habourfront.

Nadia; Went out to meet Boy
Hakim; Went out to meet Girl

Yupe, as you can see the destination on the Admission ticket. That's where both of us went today! Horray...

As promised at 1500hr, Hakim went to Sengkang to pick Nadia. Initially, we doesn't have a clue to where we wanna went for today. Its seems as though we have went to every single place in Singapore. Finally, Nadia break the ice. We decided to go to Sentosa. Well, the last time we went there was on the 4th of December 2005, and its with Azri and Liyana. In order for us to reach our destination, we took the NEL all the way to Habourfront Station and transfer to Sentosa Bus at the Interchange. We reached Sentosa at 1700hr.

The first place that we decided to go was the newly renovated Imbiah Lookout. Since we didn't managed to went there, the time we went with Azri and Liyana. We can't expect what we are about to go through...

As you can see above, the ticket did mention, 'Chairlift'. Yes, indeed we did took the chairlift ride, althought after much thinking. What can you expect from a person who have fear of height and another whose imagination goes beyond recognition. But it turn out to be a wonderful experience, serius gua tak bedek sama lu! 1 trip cost you $3/person and a return trip cost $5/person. The drop off point is at Siloso Beach. As for us we bought the $5/person return trip ticket. The overall journey took us around 1/2hr. Althought, at first both of us felt scared, we took the courage to went thru it and survived. The experience at the Chairlift was mesmerizing, with the scenery to look upon and of course Nadia's scared face. Here is a piece of conversation taken from both of us when we are at the top; "Sayang, pegang handle bar tu!" Haha...jangan marah eh...hehe. Cute arh sayang.

After alighting at the Imbiah spot, we then decided to grab ourselves a bite. Therefore, we took a bus ride to the Ferry Terminal and went to Burger King. After purchasing our food at the counter, we went to the Musical Fountain place to eat our food. But the mother nature was not on our side this time, so we move to the nearest shelter to continue our food, since it was raining. We sat there until it was 1925hr, when we went back to the Musical Fountain, to catch the show. The show last only 20minutes. After the show, we went back to the Departure Area, to take our bus ride back to the habourfront interchange. As for today, we took the NEL back to Sengkang.

P.S; It was a tiring but wonderful time today, especially spending time with you...Mmuahz

30th March 2006, Wednesday

2006-03-30T22:20:00.000-08:00

From; Hakim
To; Nadia

Im sorry my dear if i let you down today. Im really sorry sayang. I didn't meant to make you cry. I love you with all my heart my dear...

Sayang... to me, I just don't believe in two person who are opposite sex, not related in anyway, and sesama sayang. I just can't believe it that way. Its that, I feel that mesti ada muslihat sebalik. Pasal aper? Pasal its opposite sex and bukan muhrim awak. Abis pulak tu keluar berdua-duan. Awak jangan salah faham sayang. Ialah kite dua pun aper kurangnye kan. Hmm...but I guess both of us are couples. Its just that...soooo many times i've seen people like both of you and .... be together in the end. Whether their relationship continues or not kita tak tau la... Kite nie bukan nak jaga tepi kain orang, tapi orang yang bilang. So jangan ingat kite nie kepo eh..hehe.

Furthermore, although awak ada cakap, yanag awak tau limits awak, awak takkan dengan dia. Awak dengan dia seperti sayangnye seorang adik kepada abang nya. Tapi whats the possibility dear. Anything is possible in this world, my dear. Lagipun the truth is kite bukannye tak suka, tapi when ever you talk about him, I starts to feel inferior. Sorry if kite cakap camgini. Ialah semua ciri- ciri lelaki idaman you ada pada beliau. Lainla dengan kite nie, tak pandai, tak berwajah, tak berduit dan macam- macam lagik. Kalau nak dipendekkan cerita, segalanya adalah pada dia. Awak mungkin cakap, yang ima pun, kite punye gadis idaman per. Betul tak? Iyer tapi, nie da jadi cerita lain sayang. Ialah my feelings towards her da 100% hilang. Takder ape- ape perasaan SUKA aperlagi SAYANG. Mungkin awak takkan percaya dkat kite part camgini. Tapi macamane lagi yang kite nak tunjukkan dkat awak. Tapi kite tak kluar dengan dier, balik sesama. Ntahlah sayang....I pun tak tau.

My dear, the truth is, kite takut la awak. Kite takut awak tinggalkan kite. Kite taknak another failure relationship. Kite taknak semua perkara yang terjadi semasa kite ngan kak Shub berulang lagi sekali dengan awak. Kite sayang awak...Kite cinta awak. Mungkin, awak mesti pikir, betul ke yang kite nie betul- betul cinta kan awak kan. Ialah kite tahu, kita berdua masih muda, masih jauh, entah umur panjang ketidak... tapi so far, you are the very best thing that have happen to me so far. Seriously, and thats makes my feeling towards you even stronger. Kite nak jalianan hubungan antara kite berdua berterusan hingga ke akhir hayat. I didn't say that I love you for nothing. When I say I love you, i really meant it.

Kite really sorry sayang, for whatever kite ada cakap semalam(10/03/06). Memang kite tau, kebanyakkan dan selama nie pun, kite banyak kecik kan hati awak, banyak sedihkan awak dan banyak menyusahkan awak. Im really sorry my dear...

I really love you with all my heart.
