2010-03-13T00:26:00.000-08:00

i am just human, who has fought for my own beliefs...but when some people may not understand me, it really made things worse...

progress, process, sleepless nights...these ive gone through...although some people may not understand because i have so much to do...

"aainaa, u have a lot more to do", he said..
"aainaa, if you want to pass....."she said..

i'll sob these memories away n wake up knowing that its all in the past n i've to move on..

kuala lumpur ku..

2010-02-16T21:04:00.000-08:00

What is the identity of Kuala Lumpur that makes it different from other cities? It’s the ‘ROJAK-ness’, a day in the life of Kuala Lumpur is full of uncertainties and adventure where the people built the city, the city then built the environment and the environment built the culture.
We are slowly learning to accept that this is life in KL, a young city that is still grasping at its identity and yet full of culture...KUALA LUMPUR ku....
(these vids were shown during my architectural presentations...hahaha, funny that i did not really acknowledge it with my design...don't worry Aainaa, you're still learning!)

of shoes, bags & dresses...the kutus did it!

2010-02-16T19:19:00.000-08:00

These girlie bazaar, bijous, threadzoos market, jumblesales etc r gaining its popularity among the kids in KL...things sold at a very good price n theres a lot of choices to look for; vintage to disco-tight-fitting clothes..

so, me n my gfs decided to start one too, with a no-no budget course, we started to venture this at our very own workstation!...hahaha, an architecture studio was turned into a bazaar..hehehe...cheapo eh?...
good start2!.....hahahha..

film institute...MY STAIRWAYS TO FREEDOM!

2010-02-07T06:28:00.000-08:00

"Life is a design thesis"- quoted by my studio master...
To tell u the truth, it really did encapsulated my life. I have learnt a lot from it, n slowly, i'm learning about myself too...n for that i have chosen the best topic that I've encountered-A FILM INSTITUTE...(good or bad, i'm still putting this as my priority, second to my mommy & potet)
there's a yellow sticker on my computer that says this:

AAINAA-be motivated!
You're the director of this film
You are designing & creating this film
Raise more difficult questions...
and Provide smart solutions!
Challenge yourself!
BECAUSE THIS THESIS IS...UNIQUELLY YOURS!

Ai ven said this to me last week.."Don't worry Aainaa, we're 70 % there to our finals...n we have also gone through 90% of an architorture life, and that's a success already"...NICE!

whoopsie...saw this just now from nazy's blog...daang-"To be a UM Architect Graduate, you must be a DESIGNER."...*pressure2...*

stage fright!

2010-01-27T13:47:00.000-08:00

nervousness thy name, aainaa......

have u ever felt this way before?- a certain rush in your body that reacts to your adrenaline, n suddenly, it goes into your brain n it switches off your confidence zone...hari ni tiba2 i blank-ed out during my english presentation...heh, english je pun! the teacher felt that im still rigid in this, i seemed to be memorising my words. damn it.. so, this will be my 2nd time of a mental breakdown..(dont want to talk bout my 1st one, horrible!)
no wonder i can never be an actress or a performer, having said that, its true..im always the "behind the scene" girl..but, i know i will never give up, i know i can..Giring can!(haha, takde kene mengena..)

pa..

2010-01-26T08:33:00.000-08:00

papa & me..
there'll be times when i just want to recap all the memories i had...n one of the most memorable moments i had was..
during my part 1 graduation..it was within the period where papa dah di anggap tenat already (40 days before his death)...but, he managed to come..he managed to put on his new tailored shirt specially made for my graduation(hes just so charming)...papa came with his wheelchair, n he was there,in the DTC to watch me on stage (even my own boyfriend did not come for any of my important events, well he never did)..i remembered mama called me to tell that she had to bring papa out, cos he was soo cold in the hall..papa, i am very sorry for not being there to take as many pictures with you..i know you have waited for me at my faculty, but i was too busy taking photos with my friends outside the hall..stupid me..n now that uve gone, aizzat won't get the chance to come up the stage knowing that you'll be there with the crowds...but to think of it in another way...you'll be in a bigger place, watching down at us...when aizzat & me will be on stage again these coming years...

should have gotten azim to take studio photos for the whole family..

now this is my 3rd blog for tonite...shucks!

The LAST LECTURE

2010-01-16T19:41:00.001-08:00

happy 2010!...i almost forgot i had a blog...haha..(in a way, im the only one posting it in here...mama kenapa taknak blog lagi?...potet, chait!)

Randy Pausch is my idol, second to my dad...and reading his book of the "LAST LECTURE", made me realised that death is just another part of living...it is not meant for people to sobber or just be depressed over it...the thing that we should be celebrating is LIFE!...n life is short, so, live a day of your lives as though it has no ending to it....well, as for us muslims, the meaning of life is to better our ibadah for HIM...as HE who creates us...and for HIM, we lived for!

The LAST LECTURE is definitely my favourite for now, as I don't read that much of a book...*i've got quite a collection in my room, but i can say, half of it, is anis's..(haha, my bestfriend is a book worm-er)....

That's late Randy with his kids...he actually had a whole chapter dedicated for kids
"DREAMS FOR MY CHILDREN"..as all three of them were too young to understand, he actually did a lot of things with them in quite a short time, for them to remember the moments of joy they had with their big ol' paps!

I actually love this part the most:

"I'm aware that Chloe (the youngest of three) may have no memory of me at all. She's too young. But i want her to grow up knowing that I was the first man ever to fall in love with her. I'd always thought the father/daughter thing was overstated. But i can tell you, it's real!" *TEARS*

How i wished that papa would have his last lecture with his fellow friends & students in UTM, or probably among the people he loved...but i think.. HE DID!

THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

that little you...

2009-11-11T04:05:00.000-08:00

how i wish i could turn the clock wayyyy back when im still a kid...
n wish that we could have a playground like this!

damn..that feels good!

2009-09-01T18:25:00.000-07:00

got this from mama's email to all aunties & uncles.....

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...

Pada hari ini, tepat jam 5.35 pagi bersamaan 12 ramadhan, genaplah setahun...............

*Seorang putera dan seorang puteri kehilangan seorang bapa yg sgt penyayang,penyabar dan bertanggung jawab, seorg bapa yg menyediakan sgala kemewahan dan kemudahan, seorg bapa yg sentasa memberi peransang dan inspirasi dan juga tempat bermanja yg tiada berbelah bagi.

*Seorg isteri yg kehilangan seorg suami yg sgt di cintai yg sama2 mengharungi suka dan duka selama 25 thn....maka hilanglah tempat bergantung dan bermanja buat selama2nya.

*Seorg ibu yg kehilangan anaknya yg solihin yg sgt menjaga hati dan perasaan ibunya dan sgt bertanggung jawab dan juga tempat seorg ibu mengadu sgala masaalahnya.

*Seorg kakak yg kehilangan seorg adik yg sama2 membesar dan berjuang utk menaikan martabat keluarga yg sgt dicintainya.

*15 org adik2nya yg kehilangan seorg abang yg sgt penyayang, berhati mulia, iklas dan berkorban untuk keluarga.

*14 org ipar2nya yg kehilangan seorg adik dan abang ipar yg sangat prihatin dan berhati mulia.

*Dan semua anak2 buahnya yg kehilangan seorg uncle yg di kenali sbg "UNCLE ABANG" yg sangat penyayang dan berwibawa.

Maka tinggallah segala kenangan pahit dan manis yg dilalui selama 51 thn didunia ini dan dgn keredhaan yg amat sgt beliau mengikut perintah ALLAH dan kembali kepada NYA dgn penuh tawakkal dan shukur....dan tentunya disitulah beliau di tempatkan di kalangan org2 yg soleh.............................................

AL-FATIHAH .............................AMIN

Yg sangat2 merindui nya.........KNURUL

Mama's favourite!

2009-08-30T01:49:00.000-07:00

Mama's good at almost everything.....and this is of course one of her favourite pastime..hahaha...
our dear papa has the most "adek beradek" anyone can ever have...17 (we have 8 uncles and 8 aunties)!!!!yess, our nenek n atok loved to produce anak ramai-ramai so that lives would be much easier then and now....Nenek's house is still filled with laughters by my aunties and uncles and of course my little cousins.....and mama will always mention to us "Keluarga kita kecik, tapi luckily papa ramai, so, we wont feel lonely"
so, even if papa is not around, we will still have ourselves well, automatically 8 papas!!hahhaa...

n because mama is married to papa's family already, and for papa as the eldest brother...mama will be the target for every weddings and engagements..."Kak Nurul, the hantaran designer".not only hantarans that she will have to deal with, decorations from bilik pengantin, katil pengantin ke ruang tamu pun she will be the superwoman of the day!!!

The latest hantarans would be auntie mazidah's and kak nureen's (hehehe...that's our first cousin, well thats another case...cucu nenek ada 50 lebih...we sense more hantaran designs in the future eh?)

lets see mama in progress!!!

and here are some of her latest creations....
THE HANTARANS

the almost perfect kak nureen's hantarans during her engagement....
"the ever-satisfied customer..hehe.."

auntie mazidah's wedding hantarans....PRETTY OF COURSE!

LOVELY NEWLYWEDS ARE HER LATEST CUSTOMER, AND YES, VERY HAPPY WITH MAMA'S HANTARANS...

Happy Birthday MAMA!

for personal interests, when they're bored and suddenly something pops out in their mind, and its about time to write it down...that's when blog works, like magic! With the technology world pushing us to become an IT freak, a diary or a journal are no more a major thing for people to keep and write on it about their daily schedules etc....people of the millenium now blog!!And Mama, you are a mother of the millenium, start blogging!!keep yourself busy while facebooking and yahoo mailing, start writing up!!

MAMA!WHAT YOU CAN BLOG ABOUT?
1. recipes! share your recipes to the world mama, you've got a whole lot of recipe, share!
2. show your creativity! you've got your personal hobby in designing, sewing and crafting. well this is the time to tell people what NOORUL can do!! (our mommy can do CAKES, PASTRIES, THE BEST HOME MADE COOKING, HANTARAN, HAMPERS, JEWELLERIES, DESIGNED CLOTHINGS, BAJU KURUNGS, BAJU MELAYUS and many more that is yet to be discovered!)
3. share personal stories that you looked up in the internet, for example: stories on cancer fighting, on how to deal with cancer, on how to deal with teenagers like us (hehe..) and many more!
4. share photos and songs that you think are worthwhile looking at!!

AND..the list continues...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN MAMA!!!WE LOVE YOU!
