Selamat Hari Raya, Aidilfitri Mulia,....
I played raya song everyday @ office esp bila tension tengah siapkan report yg due datenya a day b4 i'm going for raya leave!!! Once, my staff came over and cakap "hai, layan lagu raya seorang2 dalam bilik,"... what to do...
Raya preparation is almost done. Just pending a few things... my tudung, kasut Anggun, baju abah (my father-in-law), kuih raya for mama, baju kurung aku + Anggun & baju melayu Alam (my mum still belum siapkan!!!)... eh! banyak jugak tu...
We went for shopping last Wednesday without Alam. A day b4 that (Tuesday), I went to KL (along Jln TAR) to get some raya stuffs and managed to buy a few things... Baju kurung for mak (my mother-in-law) + my maid, another extra baju kurung for me (in case my baju raya tak sempat siap... i learnt from my 30 years experiences - i can count how many times my baju raya siap - which the earliest will be malam raya). Also bought few shirts for ayah.
Went to One Utama on Wednesday to buy the shirts for Anggun + Alam + Azimin & me. After 1/2 day in OU, then we move to IKEA & IKANO. Habis semua kedai di tawaf. Managed to buy a few things for me + CROCS sandal for mak. Lepas tu, we buka puasa @ Kluang Station. Lepas buka, we went to The Curve kejap to look for Anggun shoes. She wanted to buy Adidas shoes yg macam dia tengok @ Taiping (we didn't bought it sebab tak ada size masa kat Taiping). Tak jumpa!!! From One Utama, to IKANO to The Curve. Tak jumpa padahal that is the latest design.
Thursday, since still tak puas hati shopping (I prefer to shop alone actually), I took a cab to Mid Valley after office. Went to Metrojaya and bought 2 pants + 2 shoes. Berkenan tengok 1 handbag nie (purple colour) with 50% off tapi NO!!! Nanti over-spent la pulak... Drop by @ Jusco to buy a few baju duduk rumah for Anggun + Alam. After that, lalu dekat Renoma and sempat grab 1 shirt for Azimin. Ingatkan nak berbuka dekat Jusco Cafe tapi penuh la pulak. Then, b4 taking a cab, I just spent my time to 'belated buka puasa' kat San Frans...
Friday, sempat pergi Maju Junction dengan my friend. Mulanya nak window shopping but then, terbeli la pulak 1 tudung + blouse + accesories...
Kuih raya dah complete... still wondering either to buy kuih raya for mak @ Taiping or not. Selalunya, aku beli siap dengan balang kuih sekali... tengoklah budget nanti. Just need to look for a few kerepek + kacang for mama...
We will be @ ENSTEK or Kota Seriemas on malam raya. Pagi raya, after raya @ Kota Seriemas, we will go to Puchong, Subang, etc before pergi raya to rumah mak wan @ Seremban. The 2nd raya, we going to go back to Taiping... Lama tak makan Doli, tapi Doli mesti tutup sampai lebih seminggu.
What I want to EAT masa Raya? I wish to eat rendang ayam made my mama, laksa Johor & chocolate cake(acik Ita) & nasi minyak (mak wan). Dah lama tak makan blueberry cheesecake yang my schoolmate buat (Emmy). The last time yang aku dapat order cake dia, rasanya 4 tahun sudah. After that, Emmy selalu busy and this year, she is now 7 months pregnancy...
This year we might not organise any open house. Azimin is busy completing his thesis, our shop in UKM is going to be opened after raya, etc... Azimin promised for a grand open house next year after he got DR. Insyaallah...

I Need A Break!!!
Argh!!! Penat... Just came back from Taiping last Sunday. It was a very short time kat Taiping. Just sempat pergi Tesco 1X, brought my in-laws to Taiping Sentral (they just opened recently... banyak jugaklah duit habis), went to Taiping bazaar ramadhan 1X. Tak sempat nak pergi bazaar ramadhan kat kamunting oe changkat jering...
Bazaar ramadhan kat sini memang murah. i still boleh dapat ayam goreng with RM 1.00. Sudahnya, aku beli, Azimin beli, my father in-law beli... penuh satu meja. Tak sempat visited Doli pun this time...
Anggun not feeling well. She muntah2 and sakit perut, even coughing. Azimin brought her to Poliklinik UKM yesterday and we even got an advise from Dr. Lokman (our dear friend in HUKM - he is a friend of Azimin and being our main contact if we need anything @ HUKM. Tak payah nak beratur panjang2... u guys know what I mean. currently, he persuing his studies majoring in cosmetic surgery)
Dr. Lokman even offered Azimin & me to do some cosmetic surgery... mak oii, takutnya. No Doc. I'm comfortable with the way I'm now. Kang lawa sangat kang, susah pulak Azimin... hahahaha
But actually yes, I'm really comfortable with the way I am now. Tak pernah terlintas langsung nak buat plastic surgery or any cosmetical surgery nie... Some of my friends pernah cakap yg 'sedut lemak' just cost around RM 2K. Masa tu, a few people dah excited. Tup tup, some of our Health Sceiences people terus sergah... "jangan nak mengada. ada org yg mati sebab buang lemak". then, case close.
A few people told me that they like my skin complexion. Thanks for the compliments... Nay be all this while i never realised about it. Teringat when i was in Limkokwing dulu, people dah start cakap about my skin complexion but i just feel its normal. yelah, masa tu i was still not yet married and rasa biasa ajer. but now, bila dah ada 2 kids nie, when people mentioned that, i feel good!!! Its not that difficult to take care of my skin (face) since i never do any facial treatment. But, my skin @ hands are very sensitive. Terlanggar pintu pun lebamnya... mak oiii... Silap haribulan, orang ingat aku kena dera...
Again aku melalut... What to do, really out of idea. Actually, I wrote it half way and save it @ draft. bila sambung, tu yg entah apa2 tu...

What The Title Supposed To Be?
Cepatnya dah hari Jumaat… Azimin just confirmed last night that we are going back to Taiping today. They are going to fetch me from office and we will drop at Sg. Buluh Hospital to visit Azimin’s aunty before heading to Taiping. Where to break fast? Dunno… I can’t think about it right now. Silap-silap, just dalam kereta jer… hehehe
My maid has arrived last Tuesday. We went to get her from Aunty Ita (the agent), which also Afiq’s mother. Who is Afiq? He is Marina’s bf. Who is Marina? She is my cousin… Actually, Afiq’s family has been closed with us for quite sometimes. Pergi rumah Aunty Ita, we not just only taking the maid but siap berbuka puasa, beli biskut raya and also dapat telekung. Food for breaking fast, mak oii… banyaknya…
We reached home quite late but still sempat to teach my maid to use some electrical appliances + some basic things on what to do. Nasib baik Azimin will be at home the next day. After a few days, she looks ok and the kids pun ok with her.
Another tiring week!!! Quite busy actually, banyak yg ad hoc things. I received a call from the editor, requested a few articles. Sampai 4 pulak tu… and 1 urgent… I still don’t have anything in mind sebab the themes are ‘in future’… Still thinking on the characters and dah start buat some research. Penat sungguh bila kena berfikir macam nie.
That’s life, writing is my soul. No matter where I go, what I do and what is my career, I still go back to write. I still remember on my first appearance in one of the magazines, I do receive a lot of emails. Rasa terharu sangat esp when people appreciate my writing.
When I was in school, banyak jugak masuk essay writing but now, writing has become more and more commercial. Started with short stories (cerpen), lifestyle articles, lyrics and currently I’m still working on my own novels… Its not just to cari makan but memang jiwaku!!! Dulu, my ex-bf pernah laughed at me, dia kata ‘jiwang’ sangat la. Aku jiwang? Azimin kata aku brutal tapi sensitive.
I have been asked by people, why I choose Azimin to be my soul-mate… Azimin is a person yang tak pernah ketawakan apa juga keinginan & kemahuan aku. When he got to know that I do freelance writing, dialah orangnya yg encourage aku buat itu & ini to get exposure, feeling etc. Quite a number of people laughed at me when I told them that I want to buy a house in front of KLCC. Ada yang kata berangan la, membazir la, etc. But Azimin is the only one yang kata GOOD. It’s a good investment.
Inagt lagi, pernah once upon a time dulu masa pergi interview with one company nie(company kecik jer tapi org2nya berlagak sungguh), one of the interviewer asked me this question: “what do you see yourself in the next 5 years?” my answer was: “I would like to have my own companies”
Guess what happened after that? They laughed at me. One of them siap peril lagi… “we asked you for the next 5 years, not next 50 years.” Kelakar sangat ker jawapan aku? Dengan ketawa diaorg la aku kerja keras sampai hari nie and today, I own 4 companies. Kelakar? I have Anggun Maya, Gaia Arts & Gifts, Rahsia Bonda & Archiforce Invent (I share Archiforce Invent with Azimin & Weeza – my sister).
My mum is helping me to run the Anggun Maya & Rahsia Bonda. I take a full charge of Gaia Arts & Gifts. I will concentrate more on Gaia next year, after Azimin completing his PhD sebab he only can go for solo exhibition after that. So far, we are still getting help from the art galleries to exhibit his art works. Raya hampers a LOT. Hope to deliver everything by early next week. Dah berapa hari tak tido malam nie….
Guys, what my post title should be? Dunno, mengarut banyak hari nie….

Penantian Satu Penyiksaan
I believe you guys understand what does it means by PENANTIAN SATU PENYIKSAAN… What I’m waiting for? I am waiting for a new maid to come. She suppose to come during the 2nd week of fasting month but its keep delaying… Jenuh la aku menunggu, bukan apa, kesian kat mama yang banyak baju nak jahit for this coming raya…
After all, we supposed to get the maid from my agent on Monday. The arrangement was:
@ Azimin will go to IKEA to exchange one of our chairs.
@ Fetch me from KLMU.
@ Going to Sunway (the agent house)
Azimin was in IKEA since tengahari… He can spend even a day in IKEA… Tambah pulak kalau bawak Anggun sama…
Around 3.30pm, I received a call from my agent to inform that the ferry was delayed due to bad weather. The maid will only arrive on Tuesday… Aduh!!! Ingatkan dah boleh settle hari tu...
Azimin fetched me from office and we have no idea where to go. Aku ajak dia pergi Mid Valley, berbuka and sambil tu, boleh cari baju raya for the kids. We went to reserve a table for buka puasa at Madam Kwan (our fav restaurant. Actually nak buka kat sushi king but then, tak boleh reserve, first come first serve).
We all singgah kat Toy’r’us after making the reservation. Anggun la manusia yang paling excited sekali although her daddy had reminded her, “TAK BOLEH BELI APA-APA”. One round, Anggun dah penang a few toys kat tangan. I just looked at her with a sign “TANYA DADDY”.
She went to find her daddy and asked him if she can buy the toys. Azimin pulak masa tu tengah sibuk kat section car model. Entah apa yang dia cari, aku pun tak sure. Anggun pun join Azimin. Tinggallah aku seorang yang tak faham apa2 pasal model2 kereta tu…
I left them at Toy’r’us and buat tour to a few shops. Masuk Jusco, tengok2 dekat tempat baju tapi satu pun tak berkenan. Then keluar Jusco, masuk MNG, singgah British India, lepas tu Topman Topshop, DP, Zara, Shu Umura and last sekali, MPH.
Lebih kurang sejam jugaklah semua tu sebab we promised to meet 6.30pm in front of Madam Kwan. Sampai sana, Azimin & Anggun were not there. I called them. Guess what??? They were still in Toy’r’us, at the same place and tengah pilih2 model kereta yang ber’remote-control’.
They settle down their things bila aku dah membebel and to show me that they were not guilty, Azimin ajak aku cari toys for Alam. Cari punya cari, we bought for Alam pistol air yang boleh pump tu… pistol air pun dekat RM 50… Gile betul… And I took 2 fireman hat for Anngun & Alam. Tak ada price tag kat situ, aku buat bodoh jer ambik. Nasib ler. Bila kat counter baru tahu yg fireman hat tu harganya RM 25 satu. Nasib la, daddynya pun beli car model dia harganya mengalahkan toys anak2 dia… belum apa2 lagi, dah sedekahkan kat toy’r’us lebih RM 200.
Terus berbuka kat Madam Kwan. As usual, my fav food, Nasi Bojari. Azimin took the lamb chop and Anggun ordered Fish & Chips. After buka puasa, Azimin sempat singgah at TAMIYA pulak to have a look lagi kat kereta2 kecik tu… Hai laki aku nie, hobinya semua mahal-mahal. Helicopter yang ber’remote’ tu ajer dah 2 kat umah.
Met a few friends yang still kerja kat Mid Valley. Dah tak ramai dah yang tinggal kat sana. We were so amazed with the artworks of Mid Valley Fit-Out Dept yang kat Centre Court tu. The rumah melayu concept is nice and really creative. Great work guys!!!

Happy Birthday MAMA...
15th Sept - birthday mama... This year, ayah bawak semua orang pergi makan but we all tak ikut sebab:
1. I was in high fever
2. Azimin dah plan to buka puasa with adik beradik dia...
at the end, aku berbuka puasa sendiri kat rumah & Azimin berbuka kat rumah Yan with Abg La & family... Sempat jugak Azimin buatkan Milo and brought a few kuih for me before dia pergi (sebelah rumah jer... macam la jauh sangat)
I bought something for mama... Actually, dah lama beli tapi simpan for her b'day... beli sekali la dengan aku punya (actually, aku punya yang lebih). masa beli nie, aku belum pun dapat my first salary kat KLMU. Masa tu tengah mega sales carnival, beli jer la...
I am the fan of ESTEE LAUDER for make-up, CLINIQUE for facial set, ELIZABETH ARDEN for perfume... (but Azimin selalu belikan HUGO BOSS punya perfume for me sebab dia suka that brand and I will look for DIOR kalau shopping kat London. the smell is different tau!)
Yang dalam beg kotak besar (gold) tu are MINE and yang lagi satu set tu + beg hitam tu untuk mama. Masa bagi kat mama tu, mama happy sangat. Weeza pun mengedeng-ngendeng la jugak....
It's So Hard To Be FRIEND?
I'm a flexible person, some goes to Azimin. He has his own friend, same do I. And we do share friends. I'm proud of my husband bila dia boleh 'masuk' dengan kawan2 aku, tak kiralah my MOZAC's friends ker, my colleagues or even my ex-bf.
Tak percaya? We proved it. Its happened during Nick's wedding, we were the one who helped him in every single things. I believe, we need to trust each other. I have no problem dengan his friends and dalam ertikata lain, aku & Azimin memang transparent to each other. We do discuss about perempuan itu, lelaki ini...
Our close friends (redz & dee) boleh provekan yg we can share the friendship together. aku pernah received a call from dee, "leen, redz changed his hp no. I left my hp @ home. do you have my husband hp no?"
I was trying to be a friend with someone for the last few weeks. I even feel comfortable talking to him tapi entahlah.... I'm not really sure on the intention.. why I said so...
After a few weeks talking & smsing, suddenly aku rasa this person macam... trying to avoid me. why? after a few weeks? seriously, i didnt see any over-react on my talking & smsing. to be frank, aku berkawan dengan semua orang. rasanya, sms yg aku hantar & aku terima sama dengan sms yang aku hantar & dapat dari jze2, jackop, asnor, redzwan, tony, lawrence, etc...
I was trying to clear-up the situation tapi bila fikir2 balik, biarlah. buat apa nak pening2kan kepala... I do discussed with Azimin about him, even showing him the sms...
eleen: do you think there is anything weird about all this sms?
azimin: nampak biasa ajer. y?
eleen: i think ada orang rasa lain kot bila i sms. salah ker? it just friend...
azimin: not everybody sama macam redz, dee, alina, kelvin, kyled, cassie, swella... may be this friend came from a different background. may be dia pun tak bagi wife dia kawan dengan lelaki and to him, bila dia kawan dengan perempuan, itu salah.
eleen: if dia rasa salah, why take more than a week to realised?
azimin: baru tersedar kot...
eleen: may be... u dont mind ker bila i ada ramai kawan2 lelaki?
azimin: (laughing)... berkawan tu hak semua orang. we know our limit, rite? i never stop you from being friend with others. kita hidup bermasyarakat and our profession need us to be professional.
eleen: (laughing)... i still ingat masa i received a call from shidah... bagitau i yg laki i pergi makan dengan perempuan kat one utama. dengan dee & alina & siapa lagi ha? semua bini orang....
azimin: yes... and masa tu pulak terserempak dengan u... tengah makan dengan slash... hahaha
yes... some memory that need to be refreshed.... and i believe, kami masih bertahan atas dasar PERCAYA. Our job requires a lot of commitments. Kalau PERCAYA tu tiada dalam our relationship, satu kerja pun tak akan jadi. and aku juga percaya pada friendship. pada aku, 'friendship' its not just a name, but its something that grow in your life. My marriage is not something that stop me dari berkawan dengan orang lain tapi menambahkan kawan.
To that person; its very upset if you got my intention wrongly. I'm not here to get you attention but its just friend. I boleh berkawan dengan siapa sahaja and it doesnt need any entry requirement. I tak tahu apa yg you rasa tapi percayalah, to me, friend is friend. No heart feeling.
To Azimin, thanks for the deep understanding. Thanks for being the one that always be by my side, thanks for always lending your shoulders & sharing all the difficulties. Thanks for willing to accept me with the ways I am... thanks for willing to take care of the kids tooo... (too busy lately, I janji, nanti I ganti balik bila u pergi out-station!!!!)

The Exhausted Week
It started from last Saturday, dragged-on till yesterday (saturday, 13th sept 08). Really exhausted... I even spent 3 days berbuka @ office. A lot of things to do, a lot of works that need more than an attention.
Thanks to Azimin for his understanding, even sometimes tu membebel jugak.... Thanks to the kids especially. They already be in bed bila aku sampai rumah. Friday, aku dah start rasa macam nak demam but still boleh tahan lagi. Saturday tu boleh siap pergi office lagi to settle a few things. Came back from office, I was really weak. I told Azimin that I'm gonna take a nap but then, around 5.30pm, Azimin woke me up.
"Lets go to see doctor. Panas sangat nie." Since kepala aku still berat lagi, I tried to convience him to wait until lepas buka puasa... We supposed to buka puasa will my brother in-law + sister in-law @ my sister in-law's house (hahaha, next door) tapi sebab aku tak larat nak jalan, Azimin & the kids ajer la yg pergi. Azimin made a cup of milo for me and brought some kuih from next door. Sungguh, tak lalu langsung nak makan....
Lepas buka puasa, we went to clinic nearby. I refused to go to Bangi, tak larat rasanya... Balik dari clinic, ingat nak terus tidur but hati aku still tak senang selagi tengok banyak kerja rumah tak settle. Senyap2, I went to the laundry room, keluarkan baju kotor, asing2 kan and then masukkan dalam laundry bag + baldi. Angkat pelahan2 pergi kat washing machine and bila bukak washing machine, ada pulak comforter yg belum berjemur...
Nak tak nak I have to call Azimin, mintak tolong angkat sebab rasa macam tak larat dah nak angkat comforter tu... And... mulalah sessi bebel-membebel... "i asked you to rest, why you still doing the laundry? go to the room now. esok2 dah baik, you nak kemas 7 hari 7 malam pun i tak kisah..." after that dia sempat sambung lagi... "esok pagi kalau tak baik jugak, i hantar u masuk hospital. biar u duduk diam2 kat sana."
Alahai laki aku... sebab tak nak mengalah, sempat la jugak aku jawab, "please book for me suite yer, i tak nak single room biasa."...

BEST FRIEND
I believe semua orang ada best friend. I do have best friends and to me, they are among the most important people that contribute their characters in every chapter of each pages in my life.
People who know me by years might know that my life journey is not as easy as what they see HERLEENA today. I started my tough journey since I was in MOZAC. Banyak experiences, kenangan pahit manis yang buatkan aku jadi lebih kuat untuk hadapi hari2 mendatang. I went through 'zaman kejatuhan', kemuadian bangun merangkak, selepas itu berjalan dan berlari untuk mencapai apa yang aku idamkan dalam hidup ini.
Because of that, tak keterlaluan for me to mention that my best friends play a very important role in advising & lending their ears untuk sama-sama mendengar luahan hati aku.
This time, I would like to talk about my male best freinds which I have a few. Banyak bezanya lelaki dengan perempuan dalam peranan meresa as a 'best friend'. Percaya atau tidak, terserah... From my experience, yang perempuan cepat terasa hati, tak kurang juga kadang2 terselit perasaan cemburu walaupun cuma sekelumit. Rasa ingin bersaing tetap ada sebab itulah lumrah perempuan. Lelaki lebih terbuka, lebih bersedia mendengar & menerima apa sekalipun keadaannya dan selalunya memberikan pendapat yang jujur walaupun pahit untuk didengar.
Lets tak about my male best friends... Better not to mention their names sebab rasanya mereka lebih tahu siapa mereka...
Knowing A (bukan nama sebenar...) for more than 10 years make me feel comfortable to talk & express whatever I want to him. The understanding taht we have among each other buatkan aku & A rasa senang berbicara apa juga masalahnya. Dari nak memuji, mengadu, mengutuk semuanya boleh. We both sama2 giving & taking advise from each other. Pelik? Tak pada aku... Dia adalah orang kuat yang selalu ada bersama aku bila aku ditimpa masalah, tak kira berapa besar sekalipun masalah tu. He is the person yang menyumbang tenaga during my enggagement day till my wedding day. Dialah orang yang mengumpulkan kawan2, yg menjadi kepala konvoi masa hari kawin aku. Tak cukupkah itu semua untuk membuktikan yang dia sememangnya ikhlas berkawan dengan aku?
Kami saling bercerita tentang bf & gf waktu berkawan. There was 1 day, which is a few days after my wedding, I did receive a call from him. From his voice, I believe he was not in a good condition but keadaan aku masa tu tak mengizinkan untuk aku berborak panjang dengan dia. Yang sempat aku tanya, "apasal engkau nie, suara macam baru lepas break dengan gf jer?"... Guess what his answer, "memang pun, baru lepas. i just need friend to talk. Tapi kau tengah busy, tak apalah."
That was the last time I heard about his seroius relationship yang tak menjadi. after that (and I believe until now), setiap kali ditanya jawapannya begitu mudah, "malas nak fikir. Ada nanti, adalah."
Pernah ada perasaan lebih dari best friend? To be sincere, we have tried it once but rasanya it didnt work at all. Sebab tu kami teruskan as a best friend and between us, no heart feeling...
I started to know B (pun bukan nama sebenar) masa sekolah. We were not a good friend masa tu sebab pada aku dia nie poyo & perasan bagus. But sebab waktu tu, kat sekolah tu, pusing2 jumpa muka tu jugak selama 5 tahun, aku tak nafikan we could work together in a few aspects.
We started to be closed to each other after I got married. hahahaha... 1st time came over to my house during a raya open house, he was so impressed with my house design. A week after that, dia terus call us and give a job to Azimin, to design his parents house. Somemore, his sister & brother in-law were the same office with Azimin & me once upon a time... hahahaha... After that, more and more jobs came over through him and we started to be closed to each other. Not only with him, but with his family as well. We do visit each other during raya (every year) and finally he found his soulmate yang menerima dia seadanya, bukan sebab pangkat & harta yang dia ada... And thanks a lot to his wife sebab menerima kawan2 suaminya seadanya.
Actually, I do have a few more male best friends tapi yang dua inilah yang betul2 together with me in my journey of life.
I am in a process to know someone, hati & budinya sebelum aku kategorikan dia as best friend. Setakat nie, character yang ada pada dia menunjukkan dia sedia menerima aku, baik buruk aku, bebelan aku, etc...tinggal, its still too early to label him as best friend...

People who know me by years might know that my life journey is not as easy as what they see HERLEENA today. I started my tough journey since I was in MOZAC. Banyak experiences, kenangan pahit manis yang buatkan aku jadi lebih kuat untuk hadapi hari2 mendatang. I went through 'zaman kejatuhan', kemuadian bangun merangkak, selepas itu berjalan dan berlari untuk mencapai apa yang aku idamkan dalam hidup ini.
Because of that, tak keterlaluan for me to mention that my best friends play a very important role in advising & lending their ears untuk sama-sama mendengar luahan hati aku.
