RE UNIONS~ IS IT A GOOD IDEA ?
Nowdays many people are out looking for old friend, old schoolmates, officemates n etc in the name of re-union. They were together many years back and would like to meet up again after a long absense. I guess its a good move to meet up and to rekindle memories.
What I wonder here is ; are there old feelings surfacing after meeting up again? I see that they come alone, not with their spouse. Is it because the spouses would like to give 'chance' to the other half to meet with old friends? Or the spouses do not want to see the other half 'happiness' meeting again with the 'flower of their dream' ? heheheeh. This I would love to watch !!!
What I can advice to those spouses be it wife or husband :
ii ~ If you cannot handle your feelings , send him @ her there and go back @ go and do something else, somewhere else
~ ~ ~ The thing is LOVE and BELIEVE. You'll be okay my friend.............

DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OUT LOOK TO LIFE.....
I can't seem to be able to fully understand some 16 to 17 year olds now days. I see it as a small issue but to them its as tho the world is going to explode in a second !!!! So they end up making silly mistakes and wasting precious time ...
They never want to listen to any advice ; from the person who gave birth to them and the person who provide food n shelter to them !!! They go about their problem their own way and end up making it more complicated ?? They make it as though its other peoples fault that it goes wrong . Its not their fault at all........
The cell phone is the numero uno of their life. They will die without it. They have no income but the phone is well kept with prepaids at all time n I might add, at all cost !!! ............ Where does this money come from ???
DO TEENAGERS HAVE TO BE PROBLEMATIC ???? CAN'T THEY BE LAW ABIDING,EASY TO HANDLE, POLITE, CLEVER, HARD WORKING AND A GEM TO PARENTS EYES ??

ACCEPT WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU......ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
We always want a rosy bed life, which is easy and no hurdles. You live a life full of happiness, wealth n health. But if suddenly all is taken back ; not all in the real sense but little bit, its as though Allah has taken away all of it !!! Please be reminded that when Allah bestows anything ; be it good or bad, its because Allah knows the said person is able to overcome and will obey n be close to Allah. Hardship is a way Allah wants us to remember that all are from Him and he is the only one to ask and who can help us human being. Its his way of giving bonus to those who adhere to his law....
To obey is a simple act but humans like to test Allah's patience.He lets you do whatever you want but WAIT......There is a time and place before you'll be judge for all of your life's drama.

GIVE MORE AND YOU'LL RECEIVE IN ABUNDANCE.....
Married life is simple when you know and you want to make it heavenly. But if you choose to be selfish and wants your spouse to cater to your every need, love you unconditionaly and give in to your every whim n fancy, then its going to be a disaster right from the start. I'm not being clever and know all but for the last 23 years I've used this pull n push, give and take method.
I am a super ego person to start with, who will want to get my way all the time. Talkative - non stop,my heart is ruled by my emotion, I have a very very strong intuition ( if I say MU will loose the game then 80% its going to be true.I TRULY DO NOT KNOW Y !!!...Pak Aji will jeleng me and say "Ibu, pls don't say it !!! " hahahaahah) I make first impression judgement ussualy its correct....emmmm ( P/s: But my super ego has diminish to 50% after 23 years. Thanks to my laling)
My other half is a quite person and its difficult to see him angry n be spiteful to anyone. A romantic~flower, chocolate etc. A pious man ( I learn Islam teachings, memorizes surah, listen to his jumaat khutbah, ceramahs n fardu Ain from him) He is my Ustad...Alhamdulillah. Its always I who blows my top with the kids. I am the disciplinarian in the family. No matter how hard I 'rotan' them, they''ll be no trace but if he canes them 100% sure , they will start having fever n the rotan trace is red n swollen !!?? So he stops caning a long time ago....
Be a giver not a taker. Be a appreciative hubby or wife. Show them how much you love him or her then only he will show back in return. Let it be an example to your kids so that they'll know that its acceptable to show love in the house.They will do it in their home later. A house with love is a house made in heaven. Have 'together' time , no kids allowed. At least once a week, pick a day and go out n do your things with out kids. Go for holidays , it does not have to be far. Choose somewhere near by and you do not have to take a long leave from work. Loosen up there and communicate more.

A 23 YEAR VOYAGE IN LIFE.......
Today is the 23rd year of my marriage to my soul mate Haji Nor Azmi. We do things together and we like to "jalan2" and "merayap" anywhere anytime all the time....heheheeh. We love good food and "jalan cari makan" is one thing that is considere an outing to taste and to discover new dishes to be cook at home after the first try.We have 5 also food lover children that we haveTO 100% rely on home cook food. Kalau x boleh bangkrap Pak Aji tu !!! So in the end , I have to cook a similar or better version of the said food !!! Its a matter of good taste bud and familiarity with all the spices and concoction that you know to be able to get the correct taste.
Our favourite past time is to do "surveys" on sunday morning @ Amcord Mall...That is a place considered a heaven for old timers like us. I buy my Vietnam Apple n seedless Guave here too !!! The trees are small but it bears fruit almost the whole year thru. For rm15 each, I consider it worth the money.Old Cd of oldies song attracts us to walk down the memory lane n to ponder the yester years...Basically we spent 4 - 5 hours there.Then we proceed to Cash Converter in Sea Park. You'll get good bargains and most of the time the goods are exceptionaly of good quality. I strongly advice to leisurely browse slowly because there are a lot of things there worth your time on a sunday morning......
The other thing that we like to do is sitting down to talk any topic 'under the sun' be it about old friends(we have the same friend as we go to the same school) food, life n future plans for our catering business. We can talk till our eyes shuts down and both fell asleep in between words !! To us communication between each other is an important component of a husband n wife team. If you both do not communicate then its going to be difficult to know what the other feel.Bring your emotion out, do not suppress your feeling because if you keep it under wrap and you do not confide in your partner then trouble will sip in slowly and after a while you'll drift further apart.... That we don't want....Agree ?
Both of us might not be well off but we are managing well because we try to save where we can. What other people get, we also have .if they can buy it in a month , then its going to be 2 @ maybe 3 for us !!! But its still the same thing, right ?? I am thankful that I have a good "banker' who handles our expenses well.

BUSY...BUSY....BUT REZEKI...REZEKI......AMIEN
Ya Allah, its been a hectic week since Aidil Fitri. I had no time to up date peppermint zing !!! I had function on alternate day. Tiring and mind boggling but I am enjoying every minute of it. It has been my passion to be able to cater food n my services to the public. It's a joy to see my clients happy with my food. What ever I cook comes from my heart and the recipe is what I cook for my husband and 5 children. So its home cook food !!! No MSG coz I feel that if you are really a good cook , you do not need all that to make your food delicious.......
Meeting new people and how other people communicate with you is also an interesting part of my job. On one of the many catering assignment I did, I had a shock of my life when a client suddenly came out with this words ~
"Eh, engkau buat catering ya ? Apa yg engkau boleh buat? Brapa ringgit kau ambik ? "
I was SHOCK to the bone !!! She is the head educator with a religious school and I thinkd she should'nt had used the word ENGKAU to anyone even to a beggar for that matter. I said to her ~
" Ya , saya mmg buat catering ini. Kita ambik rm 20 untuk satu loyang. Puan nak order bila dan brapa loyang ?"
I gave her my bussines card and she quoted my name TUNKU MAZUIN TUNKU ANOR...Ohh she said Tunku !!! Her face turned red.........
I am not saying just, because my name is TUNKU then you have to be extra curteous to me. Its just, please have and use a better 'penganti diri' when you talk to other people. You would'nt know who the other person is !! He or she might be a VIP or someone important. But even if she or he is a plain tom, dick or harry , you should also have a better word than 'engkau'. Its plain RUDE to address people with ENGKAU on the first meeting !!! To a close friend YES, its accepted but to someone you do not know then its plainly and simply ~ UNACCEPTABLE. Please do keep this in mind. Protocol is not only for official and royalty but its also for normal and simple people like you and I. Its how people see you. Your word shows others , who you are and what is your up bringing.Don't be a disgrace to your family ............
IF YOU WANT TO BE RESPECTED, THEN PLEASE HAVE RESPECT FOR OTHERS...........

Salah conggak jenis orang.....
~~~Selalu bila kita nampak orang tu pakai seksi2 kita cepat2 buat assumption yg dia tu pasti x tau agama atau saja nak lawan undang2 Allah ?? Kalau pulak jumpa orang pakai tudung labuh atau lilit serban , orang tu paling la kita percaya . Warak... Tp tau ke kita hati n pemikiran kedua-dua watak yg berbeza ini ?
~~~Aku penah come across satu jenis yg boleh di katakan warak abih n kerja pon ada background keagamaan. Alhamdulillah la kan . Tapi bila dengar percakapan nya aku jadi urut dada !!! Ishhh...kasaqnya. Seakan2 kita ni tidak bercakap ngan org yang faham agama... Malas la nak cakap kat c ni lain2 yg pelek2 tu tp lain ya amat dengan jenis orangnya... Sekadar menjauhi dari mengaibkan sesiapa ....

Tak terkata betapa gembiranya hati ini....... Chayok Assif
~~~Pagi tadi tepat pukul 6.15 pagi bertolak ke Sunway Lagoon Hotel menghantar Assif start practical d sana. First time Sunway Hotel ambik bebudak IKBN untuk buat practical 3 bulan d sana. 3 orang ke pastry kitchen n Assif ke Coffee House as a waiter. Sunway bagi tempat tinggal , food n allowance Rm 350 per month. Alhamdulillah , ia amat2 membantu saraan Assif selama 3 bulan tu.
~~~Seperti biasa la mcm2 la pesanan yg d berikan kepada Assif sbb once upon a time perkara yg sama Ibu pernah lalui 1985 di Hyatt Kuantan selama 6 bulan . Pada masa tu course Diploma In Chef Trainning d wajibkan berpractical semasa sem 3 n 5 selama 1 semester(6 bulan ) tiap kali.So all in all 1 tahun practical trainning. Tp pada masa tu we really learn n work out in the industry. Apa2 yg bakal d tempohi when you start work is learnt then !! Its either you enjoy first n suffer later or you enjoy n suffer at the same time . Masa Ibu practical Ibu started with Kampong Kitchen. Coffee house yg serve Ala -carte from breakfast to Dinner. Tiap2 wednesday night ada Pizza night. Wah..masa tu Ibu pulun belajar ngan Chef Harun (Pastry Chef) He's a great man....Thanks Chef for all your Ilmu yg I shall treasure till eternity. Malam BBQ pasti d suruh keluar untuk bantu chef bakar2. Masa breakfast kena fry eggs ala-minute kat depan guest yg order !!! Masa tu soklan yg kita tanya is ...Sunny side up @ ala lupa plak yg satu lagi tapi egg yolk dia keras la x runny mcm sunny side up. So berbijik2 la telur ibu goreng....
~~~ Mcm2 Ibu belajar dari Kak Zalma, husband n wife team , (dah lupa nama) Tiap kali order datang, Ibu akan tengok Kak Zalma buat, pas tu dia suruh pulak buat sama mcm mana dia tunjuk. Pas tu tiap kali ada order Ibu pon dah confident buat !!! Seronok betul experince yg Ibu lalui. Happy ja p kerja . Wlpn balik malam2 pukul 10 pm. Kalau ada function stay on lagi. Selagi Chef x balik, kita tunggu la to learn. Executive Chef masa to Chef Magor. Ada seniors cerita dia suka maki orang esp practical student, tp selam 6 months kat sana x penah sekali pon mana2 Chef org putih @ local Chef yg cakap apa2 yg memaki d depan Ibu !!! Alhamdulillah...

LOVE is a universal word and everyone will succumb to LOVE....
~~~My opinion to those murder,baby abandoning, prostitution, drug abuse, 'rempits' , robberies, burning of human being are all because they don't LOVE themselves and neither do they LOVE other human being. Why I say this, because if they LOVE their freedom they will never ever commit to those heartless act of savage !!!! Uncivilised act of destruction of human lives as though they are Allmighty ALLAH..... If they are not caught by the law then ALLAH will surely wait for them in Padang Mahsyar !!! Some will get years jail term n a prison is not a place to enjoy nor for holidays. But it will not deter any of them from doing neither of the above becoz it promised wealth n prestige eg robbers n drug pushers....
~~~So to those contemplating of changing into these profession, please think a dozen time n probably more hundred times before doing it !!! Its not your road to richness but its the road to dooms day...... Answering to ALLAH SWT...........I assure you that it is much hurtfull than whipping in the prison !!! There's no where to run n hide !!!

A day as a pemerhati kat UITM Shah Alam's E-PJJ registration..........
Yesterday had to follow Pak Aji Azmi p duty d EPJJ registration. Sebenarnya about 12 pm kena pegi ke Stadium Bukit Jalil for the National Convention.So ikut ja so that after tu terus p.D sebabkan terlampau ramai student, it went past 12 pm !!! Ya Allah baru la I saw with my own eyes betapa hebat nya orang2 yg bernama Bank Tellers officers !!! Kalau I had to accept cash yg tiap2 satu amount to thousand over, pasti mengeletar segala2 yg ada d tubuh ni !!! Tp I saw the 3 tellers of the day Syikin, Mida n Haziq buat kerja, I can give U guys 5 star punya tabik spring...toiiiinnngggg. With 2 officers Hj Azmi n Lin with a very2 young armed guard Lan.
The first customer walk up (as we were placed on d stage at d Dewan Seri Budiman) at 8.10 am. It didn't subside till 4 pm. I sat beside the tellers n saw a lot money change hands. People of all walks of life n all of them are working class people. Some are in their forties some are very young 21 yrs. All of them have a simple awareness that when you are educated then only you're somebody ...
Bila dah close counters, there's still a lot of things to be settled. Ishhh.... x mau la kerja bank. Dah jd wife to a banker for the last 23 years pun dah cukup I think.....Its not easy you know, believe me. Kalau orang boleh balik kampong ptg raya tp we all kena tunggu sampai dia balance dulu baru boleh bertolak. Kadang2 pukul 10 pm mlm raya maseh dok balance d bank !! Anak isteri dah ready n bersiap tp bila sampai 12 am x balance2 so postpone balik subuh2 raya pertama...Mujoq la I'm not like some wifey yg akan nangis kalau x sempat sampai nak raya on 1st raya d rumah parents dia !!! Kita cool je sbb selama ini x penah pon raya ngan mak sendiri. I will only cry kalau my husband n anak2 x de....

You ask Allah will give.....
Kita pernah dengar kata2 ' hanya orang2 yg prasan dia kaya yg tidak berdoa kepada Allah" Apabila d kaji2 n d pikirkan, betoii jugak. Sepatutnya apa2 pon kita doa n mintak pd Allah sbb dia maha kuasa, maha mengetahui n maha segalanya..... Tp kita slalu lupa pd dia la tempat yg sesuai meminta.
Allah tu tahu apa yg patut d kurniakan sbb dia yg cipta kita, dia kenai kita dari belom menyawa lagi. Selalu kita marah pasai doa kita tak d makbolkn !!! Tapi pernah x kita tanya pasai apa yg Allah x bg ?? Mungkin cara kita x betui, kalau Allah bg mungkin kita lupa diri, kalau d perkenankan mugkin kita jd bongkak , kita jd syirik n macam2 alasan yg hanya Allah yg tahu.
I always say that maybe Allah bg rezeki ala kadar aje to our family sbb Allah tahu siapa kita n apa capability kita. Entah2 kalau bg kaya sangat2 , sat lagi teruih dah x pijak tanah!!! So syukor la apa yg d suratkan......
Please remember that any thing that Allah wants to give you comes in COD now days !!!! So be extra careful of what you ask. Be it small or big doa......

My trip to Parit Buntar....... Tobat tak p dah makan kat situ !!!!
On 14th june went to Parit Buntar with laling( Hj Azmi) , just to teman him for a meeting. Atteya still on her uni break so ada chan p sana !!! Kalau dak no way la.... Stayed @ Hotel Damai Deluxe room for rm 108 per night. Okay la, spacious room n bathroom. Next time can bring the boys along.
Jangan pandang kami HOME ADMINISTRATOR sebagai BIBIK !!! We are worth more than you all yg kerja sbb kami adalah Chef, gardener, bibik, doctor, nurse, baby sitter, motivational guru n etc. Bak kata JANE OF ALL TRADE la.... Kalau nak bagi gaji, ramai husband yg x mampu. Buleh bangkarap !!! Tp kami redha sbb PAHALA dari ALLAH lagi banyak !!! Lupa nak cakap , lagi satu... cikgu tuition x rasmi... Nak x nak kena buat tuition bg anak2. Sbb tu nak jd home admint ni nak kena ada degree or master at least... Tp yg mak2 x dak SPM pon anak2 semua lepas Universiti !!! So bermakna mak x pandai x bermakna anak2 keciciran !!!
The presence of a mother tu yg penting.Anak2 seronok if they come back ibu or mak dia ada, siap with lunch. My 4 boys kalau balik pasti buat sharing pasai hal2 d sekolah. Sampai kekadang kita x larat nak dengaq. Dia ikut belakang kita sbb nak suroh ibu dengaq n bg comment. Tp tu la kemanisan berada d rumah sbb mak2 yg kerja x kan merasa !!! Thats worth more than all the money in the whole world. Quality n quantity time with your anak2 !! So jgn kata kami2 ni x dak ANJAKAN PARADIGMA !!! Kadang2 yg kerja tu, x tau lagi hebat ka dak ?? P reja pasai nak cari duit ja...Kami ni mugkin x se kaya mereka2 tp apa2 yg suami2 bg kami redha n bersyukor !!!
So the next time nampak a confident n IT savvy person, jgn la asyik kata dia ni pasti reja tp don't be suprise to know that dia adalah se orang HOME ADMINISTRATOR PROFESIONAL bernama TUNKU MAZUIN TUNKU ANOR @ AWIN..... Has been a full time Home Admint for the last 23 years come 4th Oct 2010.....hheheheeheheheh
So jom la kita2 yg bergelar ibu2 d rumah, mantapkan diri n jangan ketinggalan dari sahabat2 kita yg berjerja. Pasti kita boleh bila kita hendak !!! CHAYOK...CHAYOK COMRADE HOUSE WIFE....

What is private ? Is religion one of them ?
Some people say that religion is personal..... Is it ? But if you were to see some one close to you on the verge of slipping in to a straight forward act of going against the faith then do you keep quiet or advice them. The irony of the whole thing of advising is that they end up hating n blocking you out of their life !!! You meant well and do not want them to go astray but they say its their business so stay off.
