lil_zoid; putriserunding; adik
what was i thinking when i "named" mysef as above.
the above are either my email, tweet a/c names.
lil_zoid came about wen I was in sec school. i was watching the zoids cartoon.
while watching it, i was busy creating my first email a/c.
Putriserunding...i love pulut serunding for a fact. serunding especially!!!
and i loved reading putriberendam (its a food critic blogger) entries. dan gambung kan kedua2nya.
putriserunding. ahahah!!
adik, ouh well! i was called adik..one-upon-a-time.
now, the mom no longer calls me tat. she calls me, enje (she used to say tat it means manja-or was it juz in my imagination that she said it). the rest calls me...goli (gulps!) (this one confirm was from my elder sis. she said it describe my big "beautiful" eyes. ok, beautiful was added by yours truly la kan).
so there, thats where my "names" came from. ;)

monday thoughts
"Assalamualaikum Ustazah"
ok, not the first time i've been called ustazah. initially i thought ustazah is more of a female teacher who teaches Islamic Teachings. its not lorz..its teacher. ahaha!
aniwaes awat la panggil saya teacher ek. im far from that.
ok rites, the abovementioned wasnt my intended topic.
i wana talk about defining one as religious.
its difficult for me to define & personally i believe it takes more than juz a cert and appropriate manners (towards people) to define as religious.
its not defined by fulfilling 5 obligatory prayers. Prayers makes us muslim not religious (cited from a tweet). true enough.
One donning on hijab, is not necessarily someone who is religious as well. For a fact, im not even near that. i dun even noe if the way i don on it meets his standard. the obligatory prayers, I have difficult waking up for Subuh esp on weekends. I have difficulty concerntrating. Tajwid..not flawless i must say. Meanings of the recitation..im trying my best to recall each meaning during each recitation.
All I can say is, im trying to be a better muslim. not the best but just better.
I do get caught up with duniawi stuff. But alhamdullilah, there are frens who remind me. Like seriously, friends are important! they are the people who define you. u cant choose yr family but u can choose your frens.
For each effort that we make, may He reward us with his bountiful rewards.
For each mistake we make, may He guide us back to the guided road. May He forgive us.
Come to tink of it, did i really try my best to be better?? hmmm.....

Low Tolerance Level
Bright lights. Ironically, I have low lighting tolerance level.
I tend to squint when it gets too bright (who doesnt la kan). I even have to decrease my handphone screen brightness.
Even when sholat (in my room or when I am praying alone), I prefer to do it in darkness.
Not total darkness all the time, just dim lights will do.
Well, not only my lactose level decreases, my lighting tolerance level has also dip low.
:) signs of aging??

Finance Planning
Had the urge to drop by and blog but had no idea what do I wana write about today.
Look through my draft box and found this title with no content.
Muz be one of those many days that I found a topic to talk about but lost the mood to blog. heee!!

Now, me is no Financial Planner Guru. Neither am I a Financial Planner Student.
The other day, which was months ago, I attended a Finance & Retirement Plannng course. 2-days well informed course.
They even gave you a booklet on "How to choose your Financial Advisor". Which I will have to agree, you will need to have a connection with your advisor.Built a rapprt and importantly you must be comfortable sharing your finances information with him/her. Anws, yep I learnt alot in the course. And I am comfortable attending the course because the co. who conducted the course are not there to sell you any product. However, for a novice like me, be mentally prepared to experience what they call, Information Overloaded. :P

In that course, I have learnt the importance of having a spending amount (indulgence moment). I used to set aside for such indulgence. Subsequently, the amount decreases cause I no longer enjoy spending them. Now thats the weird part. During the course, I realized I didnt give the amount of money set aside a name. something that I can relate too. For example, $$ set aside for those gloomy days, etc.
So it was because of the name & no personal connection with it.
And so for that amount set aside for indulgence moment, it will be named "Wardrobe Malfunction Days".

=)
Finally, I love online shopping now! I see the purpose for it.
the simple connection I treasure.
the comfortable silence =)
i can sit all day in front of the TV with Tok Mat and not talking much.
exchanging words now & then. and fall back into silence again.
or hear him giving remarks abt how "gong gong, the football player is", etc
Just sitting at the couch, spenting the time together "not talking" but be physically and emotionally there for each other is what i valued most. No words could describe such moments.
With some other pple, silence freaks me out. but with my dad, its a special connection.
hmmm...somehw i sounded as if i am so into the dad (or a daddy's gal - im not. i juz love sticking to him like a leech at times, for the fun of it).
well, he's my dad, i love him but i love the connection we shared together more. Loves his crude remarks at times (times wen im not feeling emotional & when my mind works like a bullet train and it generates answers to his remarks - i feel superior! =P)
