313: Soul Sisters

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.” 

~Muhammad Ali

295: A lunch date @ Delicious, Jalan Tun Razak

Friend is someone who will always be there for you, lend you shoulders to cry on, will never let you down, listen to your whole devastation story and such when your ex-boyfriend breaks you heart, keep your secret safe and lift up your spirit whenever you feel down.
Deep down inside us, this is the kind of friend that we wish to have.(Finger crossed!)
Well, when a woman get married, the best friend that she might/would have is definitely her own husband. Undeniable! However, once in a while women just gotta spend some time with their girlfriends. Especially those who has been good friends since... forever.
I wonder if BFF will ever suits a man? Sounds a bit..err,not manly enough?? hehe...
Anyway,
These are the moments captured on my quick lunch date session at Delicious, Jalan Tun Razak with all these lovelies!! 


Here are the meals that spiced up our catching up..chatting up! :p 
From top: Spaghettini Carbonara, Teriyaki Salmon Steak, Smoke Salmon Sandwich, Salmon Angelhair, Spicy Seafood Spaghettini and the fabulous desserts..sticky date pudding and the classic strawberry cheese cake!!(ooh, we're on sugar high right after, we couldn't stop chatting) :p
I'm telling you, I had teriyaki salmon-second picture with soba underneath the hearty salmon steak. I swear I'm going to have another one later! Sedap sungguh!! fuh~ 


I have to declare that we (me and afzan) did not plan to wear the same scarf; Sofia by L'adorn on that day. Thanks God, we both wore different colours even though they are the same design! I just could not imagine if we're happen to wear the same fantasy floral in white and having meal together, sitting side by side. lol!!

294: F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!

Don't let your friendships faded by time!!No doubt we have so many social networks today that could make us stay connected with our friends especially the long lost one, but.. getting yourself a real face to face meet up is rewarding!! It's worth more than seeing them online!! :D
Having said that, 
Cherish every moment you spent with your friends. They come and go into our life, but only few shall remain. Tell your friends that you love them today!!We will never know what may happen in the next few seconds!^__^
 

203: Qasar Saba Restaurant

These ladies next to me are my girlfriends who lives all the happy moments, sweet and sour, ups and downs towards and after the design crit sessions, WAY back then  when we once called an architecture student in Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) , UIA Gombak. Yep we're the fourth batch in this kulliyyah. Ahhh..those moments:)
Now, they are constantly juggling between commitment to works and families, stand over the long hours spending 'after-work-precious-time' (note that those precious time are supposedly belongs to their sweethearts who waiting for them  at home)  in the office,   but somehow, eventually, made it to our iftar gathering this time at Qasar Saba Restaurant for our crave of Lamb Mandy! Thank you lovelies for coming..on top of all, thanks to Dot for the idea and start spreading the invitation in our FB inbox ;)

If  Qasar Saba Restaurant is new for you, just to share that..it is a Yemeni Arabic food restaurant located in (not so) new shop lots behind Ong Tai Kim, Jalan Gombak. I think most of UIA students are very well versed of this area. To some of the UIA campus residents,  this is one of the place where most of the students came  to shop for foods, biscuits, maggi, milo, nescafe and such, stock up for few months.

To us, this is the place where we came all the way from UIA Gombak to send our dirty clothes to the laundry. Well,  being students, you know how lazy we are to do the laundry ourselves when most of the time we have to be in the studio, dying to complete all the never-ending works and chased by the deadlines!

Talk about the past no more, here is the food that we had for the iftar: Lamb mandy (RM 19), Mullawah bread, Chicken Sheeh Tawouk (RM 15), Strawberry juice (RM8).

Those little cuties are Faiz and Aza's darlings. Pelangi Irdina and Afif. Afif was crying because he didn't want to go home while Pelangi was trying to calm him down.. :p

From left; Nor Faizah & Pelangi , Norhaslinda, Siti Normala, myself, Zamrina, Azalina Shafini & Afif. 

The ladies who were trying out hard to make it but couldn't come at the end were Afzan (due to the very last minute thing came up), kak Herna (for rushing works in the office), kak Ayu (couldn't make it as her son cought a fever on that very day..haish, what to do -_-), kak Jenny ( who is forever in Kelantan, if I were her, I won't be coming too :p), Rin  and Kak Bulan (I belive they have their own reason) and last but not least kak Imm (who are still in her confinement at Alor Setar until Eid).

Special thanks to this only man, Ijat, who came a bit later then. Without him we might not be having this great picture.
To Afzan dear, thank you so much for the reservation arrangement ;)

166: Levain Boulangerie Patisserie

It was 11 years back then..

I remembered walking into the room, at the fourth floor accompanied by my father and my litle sister. I was dressed in dark  blue baju kurung matched with plain white bottom. That was the uniform during the registration for our taaruf (orientation) week in Matriculation Centre IIUM, Petaling Jaya. I  went into the dorm, which was about 500sq ft,  furnished with a four double decker beds, 8 full height wardrobes, a big study table for eight of us..and  few shelves where we could place our drinks, mugs and what not. 

As I entered the space, I checked around for the bed that I wanted to spend my nights throughout the whole one year stay there. I didn't want to be at top bed. I preferred to be at the lower of the double decker. I found my bed..but ahhh, someone has sticked her name on it. I looked on the piece of paper.."Linda" was the name written on that paper sticked on the bed mattress.

Ouh..Linda booked the bed. Hmm..and so did the other four beds..Haih..I had no choice by then but to put all my luggage on the bed on top of Mahran (My bedmates after that).
That was how I first met Linda/ Dot  in year 2000 during our Matriculation day as Architecture student in IIUM. I got to know her name first before meeting the person eye-to-eye :p

*********************************************************************************************************

He was a year older than everybody else in the batch. He was all lecturer's favorite in Matric. Madam Normadiah, Mdm. Aida Kesuma, Br. Nurul..who didn't?. He could speak fluently in Japanese. His face also looks bit Japanese. He is thin and skinny. He never forget to smile when he talked, always appreciate even on the smallest thing, and that made him adorable..He had the leadership in him. That's how he was selected as the group leader in our studio during the Urban Trail subject..
