We had our first ever family photo shoot with a professional photographer yesterday, 22^nd Nov 2008. The photographer is my dearest school friend, AMRU and he is the proud owner of ECHANTED FOREST studio at Seksyen 9, Shah Alam.

To be frank, we have no experience whatsoever posing in front of professional photographer camera (except for my dearest sisters whom are all cam-whore themselves). The photo shoot, from my humble and sincere opinion, was the bestest best time we ever spent together as a family apart from our Umrah trip way back to may 2007.

I personally think AMRU had a hard time directing each one of us to pose for his camera. But above all, WE HAD FUN!!! I am very happy myself because after all, it was my idea that initiates this plan. And again, as his client, we seriously think that AMRU has delivered his job VERY WELL indeed. Congratulation and thanks for giving us the precious-money-can’t-buy Time during the photo shoot.

I have the un-edited photos with me. And AMRU, both my parents thanks you a zillion for being able to capture among of the most memorable and beautiful moment if our family history. Guys do not hesitate to get AMRU’s services because he is professional at his own league. If you don’t trust me, let these photos do justice for the man…

There are hundreds to choose from, but these two are among of my favourites.

Lately, I was so lucky to found, what I can consider as GOOD BOOK (GOOD BOOK according to Annuryani is any one book that when she read, she can’t put it down and she can continue reading it straight just to stop for pee and prayer). To be frank, to actually find one GOOD BOOK is more or less similar to my difficulty in finding a GOOD SHOE. It is not easy I should tell you. Take a lot of efforts, time and money. Fuh!!!!

If you remember my previous post about book title “Laskar Pelangi” which was written by the brilliant Andrea Hirata, Laskar Pelangi is actually the first book in its tetralogy. The second book is Sang Pemimpi and the third book is Edensor. I have all but one which is actually the fourth book of this tetralogy; and the fourth book titled Maryamah Karpov (This book is currently in my wish list. *hint hint*).

To be able to read three out of four books in Andrea Hirata tetralogy, is very meaningful for me. You may think, “It just a book. Why bother about it so much”. Again, according to Annuryani, a GOOD BOOK is any one book that when she read, she will remember it by heart, each and every phrase that is meaningful and have some impact in her life, thought and feeling, in one way or another.

My latest discovery of GOOD BOOK has actually inspired a movie and has a record breaking soundtrack which hit no. 1 even before the preview of that movie. The book is written by a very-creative-and-wonderful-imaginary, Stephenie Meyer. And the book titled…….TWILIGHT. Yes, it is TWILIGHT that trigger my obsession for vampire-like story books, again. The first was LJ Smith.

TWILIGHT for me is the bestest best LOVE+GHOST-LIKE story book in its league. The book is armed with both a WONDERFULLY COMBINED-TALENTED MUSICIAN IN A SOUNDTRACK and OVER THE CHART AND PHENEOMENAL MOVIE. Infact, while writing this post, I am enjoying listening to the song by Blue Foundation titled Eyes on Fire.

Again, like the tetralogy of Laskar Pelangi, Twilight is the first book in its tetralogy. I have bought the 2^nd book; New Moon and the 3^rd book and 4^th book in its tetralogy is already in my wishlist. The third book is titled Eclipse and the fourth book is called Breaking Dawn. Take note my dearest (to whom it may concern), I WOULD REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE TO BE THE PROUD OWNER OF STEPHENIE MEYER 3^rd & 4^th BOOK OF TWILIGH TETRALOGY. (*hint hint*).

“As I examined them, the youngest, one of the Cullens, looked up and met my gaze, this time with evident curiosity in his expression. As I looked swiftly away, it seemed to me that his galnce held some kind of unmet expectation.”

Guys, I am going to watch TWILIGHT the movie this coming Thursday. I hope the movie will do justice for the books.

Hehe. Sekarang ni saya akan cerita yang sebenar2nya tanpa sebarang lencongan merepek tentang hari konvo saya. Percayalah!! Saya takkan merapu pasal hal lain selain dari hal konvo saya. Kenapa? Tak percaya? Takpela….hehehehhe.

20/11/2008 bersamaan hari Khamis, Annuryani dapat konvo sekali lagi. Pada 21/2 setahun sebelum dari tarikh 20/11/2008, saya telah berusaha berhempas pulas menyambung pengajian saya di UiTM dalam Sarjana Pengurusan Pembinaan Bersepadu secara separuh masa.

Percayala, ia bukan semudah seperti yang disangka (sekurang-kurangnya bagi saya laa). Berbalik kepada cerita konvo saya, mak saya telah menghadiahkan saya sehelai baju cantik giler tak hingat punya yang sebenarnya lebih sesuai untuk majlis pernikahan saya untuk dipakai pada hari konvo. Sebab baju tuh terlalu cantik sampai giler tak hingat, ayah saya awal-awal lagi sudah berpesan kepada saya untuk tidak sesekali menanggalkan jubah saya pada hari konvo itu.

Saya memadankan baju kebaya lawa giler tak hingat itu dengan sehelai kain pario bercorak batik berwarna merah yang saya pesan dari Encik Awuu semasa dia bercuti ke Bandung bulan lepas. Juga dipadankan bersama dengan kasut comel nampak jari-jari kaki berkilat setelah dirias (pedicure) yang merupakan hadiah dari tunang kesayangan saya. Secara lahiriah dan batin nya ANNURYANI KELIHATAN SANGAT LAA COMEIIIII PADA HARI KONVONYA. Series ni…memang comei giler tak hingat laaa.

Majlis penganugerahan itu berlangsung pada waktu pagi. Skrol konon-konon saya dan 500++ graduan yang lain yang turut berkonvo pada hari itu telah diserahkan oleh Yang Dipertuan Agung (sebagai makluman umum, Agung kita adalah sgt cute ok…akibat dr kecute-an nya, gambar konvo saya ‘agak menggerikan’ sebab mata saya kelihatan melirik ke atas dgn ekspresi muka terpegun. Gambar konvo saya itu secara rasminya telah diharamkan utk ditunjuk ke khalayak umum..terima kasih). No giliran saya untuk naik ke atas pentas ambil skrol adalah 89. Graduan-graduan pada sidang per-1 itu adalah mereka2 yang telah berjaya menamatkan pengajian Sarjana dan Doktor Falsafah.

Ini adalah kali ke-3 saya konvo sepjg idup saya. Semua ke-3 tiga majlis konvo saya berlangsung di UiTM. Sesungguhnya saya adalah produk UiTM yang sejati (dengan ini sekaligus melayakkan saya untuk tercalon sebagai maskot UiTM yer).

Tamat majlis konvo, semasa berada dirumah, tanpa disengajakan, saya telah ter-curi dengar perbualan ayah saya dengan adik lelaki saya yang berbunyi lebih kurang begini…”Hari ni Kaknor konvo Master. lepas ni Kaknor ngan mak nak sambung PHD pulak..”. STOPP!!!!!!! Sepatutnya saya memberhentikan perbualan mereka di ayat-ayat tersebut. PEMBETULAN!!! Bila ke masanya saya nak sambung Phd ni??? Arggghhhh!!!!!!

Saya takde idea nak tulis apa lagi. Sila ar kalau sudi tgk gambar-gambar konvo saya yer kerana gambar2 itu sgt laa comei..(koya lebey).

Sila bagi perhatian pada kasut saya yer….kasut comei tak hingat itu….

Sekian laporan saya buat kali ini. Tenkiu.

~love, annur~

20^th November 2008. It was Thursday. But it was not any normal Thursday. Pada hari tersebut, Alhamdulillah, berkat usaha saya selama 21/2 tahun, saya Berjaya menamatkan pengajian Sarjana (Master) saya. Yeay!!!

Khas untuk hari tu, my ONLY big effort was to shop for the right shoe. Believe me when I say, it isn’t easy to shop for a good shoe (write with serious face).

For your information, the case with Annuryani (that’s me), when she’s looking for something specific, she will DEFINITELY face difficulty to find that specific something. BUT, when she is not looking for anything specific, more often than not, she will and I repeat, SHE WILL find a lot of things that interest her. Talk about un-expected treasure finding (LOL). That is the why laaa saya selalu ter-memebeli belah bila saya sebenarnya takde langsung perancangan untuk membeli belah. Pelik kan? (*SMIRK*)

So, back to the story of shoe hunting, I spent the whole Sunday wandering around at Mid-Valley and Parkson, Subang Parade with my loyal & loving fiancé (puji sket) and little sister. I went in every (and I shall again stress, EVERY) possible shops and boutiques selling shoes. But still I couldn’t find any that caught my interest. Satu lagi kepelikan. Haishh!!!!

Back home, my dearest ayah asked me, “Lama betul keluar soping? Mana barang yang kau beli?”.

With a lovely-konon2-cute smile, I answered, “Tak beli apa yah. Tadi cari kasut tapi tak jumpa pun yang berkenan.”

Then (huhu…cry out loud), my ayah, with his angry-but-not-so-angry face started his neverending lecture which sound like this…” Anor ni, entah mana dia dapat perangai macam tu? Kalau ikutkan kan dia ni, setahun cari kasut pun lom tentu leh jumpa. Mustahil nak cari sepasang kasut pun susah…..blablabla…etcetcetc…..” SIGH!!!!

The next day, after coming back from office, when I enter into my room, I saw a box laying on my bed. Hmmm….I wonder what the contain of the box is?…apa yer???

Guess what? A SHOE!!!! A pair of black peep-toe, cute with heels, laying in the box on my bed. HUA!!!!!! Happy Happy Happy!!!

Mak saya belikan kasut tu on my behalf sebab dia tak sanggup tengok saya pusing2 seluruh soping mall kat Selangor semata-mata untuk cari sepasang kasut. (Actually, kasut itu kemudiannya dibayar oleh tunang saya kepada ayah saya sebab it was supposed to be my convocation + birthday present from him). Sometimes kan, Mother just know what is BEST for her daughter. Or is it MOST OF THE TIME. Never mind la. As long as I have got what I want. Save time and money summore.

P.S: Sepatutnya la kan, entry ni pasal konvo ker pasal nak cari kasut yer? Macam mana leh terlencong jauh ni? Haishhh!!!

I went to S’pore on the 14^th this month which fall on Friday. I was looking forward for that trip, to be frank. But the outcome was a bit disappointing. Actually, when my father first uttered his suggestion for that trip, the only exciting idea that played in my mind was the S’pore Christmas Sale. I purposely took 2 days of unpaid leave from my company.

Yes! There were a lot of shopping been done. But the Sale was so-so; not that appealing and seriously was not much different from M’sia sale except for few items. My only best catch was the lace fabric I bought at Arab Street meant for my Nikah ceremony. If you guys remember my previous post about my dream wedding, I dreamt for an all-white wedding. But it looks like there is going to be NO WHITE WEDDING for me. I didn’t know what went wrong, but when we were choosing the right color for that lace fabric, both of my parents were suggesting every other color other than white.

Yes! I can say No to it. But as I said, the only appealing colors were all but white. The final color theme for my Nikah ceremony is going to be……jengjengjeng (drum roll)….See you during the ceremony which is going to take place at my house on the 6^th June 2009. Be there and you will know what the chosen color is. (*BIG SMIRK*)

By the way, I didn’t enjoy S’pore that much, maybe not as much as my father did. You see, my father was originally a S’porean. No wonder he was all excited about the trip. To make matter worse, my mother brought along with her a ‘NICE” souvenir from there; a terrible food poisoning which caused her 3 days of frequenting the toilet and not-so-restful-but-still-sought-after medical leave (MC). Poor emak.

P.s: Ayah, lepas ni kalau nak gi bercuti or berjalan-jalan, please arr go sumwer else other than S’pore.

Bagi saya, untuk seseorang nak bersikap ADIL adalah perkara yang agak sukar.

ADIL

• Bersikap ADIL antara anak-anak
• Bersikap ADIL antara isteri-isteri (kalau kahwin lebih dari satu..heheheheh)
• Bersikap ADIL antara keluarga dan belahan jiwa
• Bersikap ADIL dalam pekerjaan
• Bersikap ADIL dengan diri sendiri

Ini bukan perkara subjektif, cuma satu perkara yang memerlukan kewarasan akal dan pertimbangan tentang kepentingan sesuatu antara sesuatu, atau seseorang dengan seseorang

Bersikap ADIL adalah sukar. Ia sering membuat seseorang itu berada dalam DILEMA.

Tidak ADIL pula boleh membawa kepada rasa ketidak puasan hati, marah, merajuk dan rasa dipinggirkan

Kenapa tidak boleh berlaku ADIL?

Kenapa perlu ada pilih kasih?

Sesungguhnya kita adalah manusia yang lemah. Kerana hanya untuk berlaku ADIL sahaja kita tak mampu.

Sesungguhnya tiada yang lebih ADIL selain ALLAH S.W.T

Kadang-kadang kita rasa mak ayah kita lebihkan adik beradik yang lain berbanding kita

Kadang-kadang kita rasa belahan jiwa kita lebihkan kawan-kawan atau pekerjaan berbanding kita

Kadang-kadang kita rasa guru atau pensyarah kita lebihkan pelajar yang lain berbanding kita

Kadang-kadang kita rasa jurujual di butik-butik barangan mewah hanya melayan pelanggan yang ranggi-ranggi berbanding pelanggan sempoi macam kita (apa ingat kita takde duit ke?)

Kadang-kadang kita rasa syarikat tempat kita bekerja tidak ADIL sebab tak bayar bonus atau memberi kenaikan gaji yang lebih kepada rakan sekerja yang lain berbanding kita

Kadang-kadang kita rasa diri kita tak ADIL sebab asyik bekerja dan tidak memberi rehat kepada diri sendiri

Kadang-kadang kita rasa tuan penganjur warehouse sale tidak ADIL sebab buat warehouse sale pada hari bekerja (macam mana mau pergi??)

Kadang-kadang kita rasa nasib tidak berlaku ADIL terhadap kita

Tapi kita memang selalu rasa ada sahaja benda yang tidak ADIL disekeliling kita

Kita takkan pernah puas

Ada masanya, sesuatu perkara atau seseorang itu sudah berusaha untuk menjadi seADIL mungkin terhadap sekelilingnya, tapi bagi kita dia masih TIDAK ADIL

Sebenarnya, pucuk pangkalnya

ADIL atau KEADILAN itu terpulang pada pendapat kita

Sebabnya, manusia takkan pernah puas

ALLAH S.W.T sentiasa berlaku ADIL

Tapi kita masih menyalahkan nasib jika sesuatu KETIDAKADILAN berlaku

Sekarang memang saya ada rasa tidak puas hati sebab sesuatu sedang tidak berlaku ADIL terhadap saya

Saya manusia, saya ada perasaan, jadi sudah semestinya saya akan berperasaan begitu

ADIL

Boleh buat tesis phd ni…..

Yeay!! Finally, and I said FINALLY, the date has been set. Ye kawan2, tarikh keramat iteww telah dipilih. Sila amik perhatian dan sila tanda kalender anda sekarang. I HAVE BOOK FOR ‘IT’ TO BE ON THE 6^th JUNE 2009 (060609). The countdown shall begin from today. 071108 until 060609 are approximately 210 days, 30 weeks, and 7 months.

060609

Definitely, as I said previously, since I haven’t start my planning yet, NOW is the bestest best time for me to start on it. So, I shall begin my journey towards ‘IT’ by listing down or shall I say by creating my own checklist for ‘IT’. So people do remind me if you see I miss anything or something on my checklist, will you? I do hope, in this short time I have, I can accomplish my mission for ‘IT’ to be the happiest and the most beautiful event in my life.

Since this is my first time (hehhehhe…I am a bachelor alright so memang semestinyalaa ni kali pertama…haiyoooo!!!!), my checklist is more like a random-all-things-list-together-not-in-accordance kind of list. So, I will upgrade my list from time to time. Hopefully I won’t miss out on anything important, for I believe I have a full support from my dearest friend in this whole wide world (you know who you are) and they will help me makes the impossible possible.

Anor’s Checklist for her ‘IT’

• Venue (Musti cari dewan. Kawan2, my ‘IT’ akan diadakan di Shah Alam, so do suggest to me any hall that you think is most appropriate and most comfortable and most convenient available in Shah Alam).
• Catering (As I mentioned in my previous post, ‘My Dream Majlis’, I would prefer for a good caterer that specialize in Nasi Beriani Gam…nyam nyam!! Any suggestion???)
• Pelamin and deco for the dewan (It is my dream to have a traditional Malay mix with Bali theme for the hall deco and pelamin…Is it possible??)
• Material for both my nikah day and bersanding. Again, as I mentioned in my previous post, they should be tailor made, custom design for me. Cewaahhhhh!!!
• A thousand roses. Possibly in white and red.
• Door Gift
• Barang2 hantaran
• Mak andam
• Juru Inai (mak kata dia mau panggil sorang juruianai dating rumah sbb yg nak pakai inainya nanti ramai…heheheheh)
• Shoe, shoe, shoe…..VERY VERY IMPORTANT. High Heels but not too high. I am not very good in high heels so tendency for me to terjelepok amat tinggi.
• Segala jenis mandi dan terapi dan persiapan diri yang boleh (mandi lulur, mandi bunga, mandi susu, apa2 je mandi yang ada….saya mau kelihatan sangat cantik pada hari itu)
• Penggubah hantaran. This is also Very Important. Tangan saya agak keras, ikat riben pun fail DEFINITELY kena upah org.

Aiyoo!! What else that I miss?? At the moment, those are all I can think of. Again, my dearest friends, if you happen to read this post, DO REMIND ME ON THINGS THAT I MISS OUT FROM MY LIST. Your concern and help is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. Arigato.

Huh!! What a day. Ada ke patut saya dikunci dari dlm kat opis ptg td. Bos tersayang saya tuh ajak berbual. Cerita punya cerita punya cerita, jam dah tunjuk pukul 5.20. Bergegas la saya tutup komputer, kemas meja dan pakai kasut nak blk. Alih alih bila sampai kat bwh, saya tgk grill dah berkunci n roller shutter dah tertutup. Oh tidak!!!! Saya takmau jd the next Norman Hakim n Memey. Walaupun saya kat tingkat bwh n bos saya kat tingkat atas, saya tak rela. Panik, saya call semua talian hayat yang ada. Tidakkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! sorang pun tak angkat. Baru saya teringat, mereka mereka semua pergi main badminton. Huhuhuhu. Saya dah mula cuak. Tetiba saya teringat talian hayat terakhir, encik pitak (nama samaran, orgnya ensem sgt kalo sebut nama betul nanti dia lebih glemer dr saya).

anor: Helo. Pitak!!!! Tolong aku!!!

encik pitak: Kenapa? Kenapa?

anor: Cepat selamatkan aku!!! Bebudak opis kunci aku dr dlm ni. Grill ngan shutter dah terkunci. Tolong!!!! Seram woiii…

encik pitak: Kejap-kejap. Nanti aku panggil wak jono balik bw kunci.

anor: Cepat ye pitak..huhuhuhu…

5 minit berlalu……Saya panik. 10 minit berlalu. Mana pitak ni???….Tetiba, kreuukkkkkkk!!! Bunyik pintu terbuka. Oh!! Bos saya br abis solat. Saya pun jerit. “Encik!!! Diaorg kunci kita dr dalam ni!!”

Bos saya turun sambil gelak. “Eh!! lama ke kamu tunggu? Napa tak panggil saya mintak kunci?”

“Encik solat tadi. Saya dah call encik pitak suruh dtg bw kunci. Dia pulak tak sampai2.”

Bos saya, lalu, macam Sivarji The Boss pun membuka kan la grill serta shutter. Oh!!! Indahnya pandangan luar. Indahnya dunia. Saya bebas….“Tq encik. Tata”.

Dengan kepantasan Usain Bolt saya pun merempit balik rumah sambil membawa keta dengan penuh ’sopan santun’ macam Lewis Hamilton.

Lesson learnt: SILA TAMBAH TALIAN HAYAT ANDA SUPAYA ANDA SENANG MINTAK TOLONG DALAM KECEMASAN!!!!!!!!!!!

By Andrea Hirata in his book “Laskar Pelangi”. Pg 280 Chapter 21: Rindu….

Rindu

Cinta benar-benar telah menyusahkanku

Ketika kita saling memandang saat sembahyang rebut

Malamnya aku tak bisa tidur karena wajahmu takmau pergi dari kamarku

Kepalaku pusing sejak itu…..

Siapa dirimu?

Yang berani merusak tidur dan selera makanku?

Yang membuatku melamun sepanjang waktu?

Kamu tak lebih dari seorang anak muda pengganggu!

Namun ingin kukatakan padamu

Setiap malam aku bersyukur kita telah bertemu

Karena hanya padamu, aku akan merasa rindu…..

~kepada belahan jiwaku…you know who you are~
