iPhone vs blackberry

i've been using blackberry for more than a year now and i juz love it. it's really handy. one thing i like about it is the fact that i get to open my emails anywhere i go and take action immediately even when i'm not in the office. but the best part of using my blackberry is when i get to keep in touch with my family & friends thru blackberry messenger (bbm). no matter how far i go, or my family goes, i will feel so near to them by communicating thru bbm. thank god for great information technology!
i heard many people say that apple products are superbly awesome. i never understood how it can be categorized as awesome bcoz the fact that its touchscreen only respond to the tip of your finger and not to your fingernails, i find that hard to accept due to the not-so-petite fingertips of mine. until recently, when my kekasih decided to get an iPhone4, he offered to me his iPhone3Gs. and i thot, well... why not? one thing about me is i'm crazy about gadgets. when i get new gadgets, i will explore them. and the mission to explore iPhone began immediately when i insert my sim card into the phone.

O M G !!now i realized how interesting iPhone is and i am starting to lurve it madly! access to facebook is so much better thru iPhone than blackberry. i can download many many applications thru iTune apps store. picture viewing is so much better thru iPhone.

however, i don't to sms or email thru iPhone though bcoz of the touchscreen keypad. blackberry still gets to be in my top ranking when it comes to emailing and text-ing. other than that, when it comes to multimedia, iPhone rocks!!! thanks kekasihku for giving me that wonderful gadget. the more i explore the iPhone, the harder for me to take my hands off of it.

and since apple has started to set foot in my heart, i considered to get an iPad and now i'm so anxious to wait for my iPad to arrive!! woohooo....!

an eternal fairy tale

the unforgettable memories with evo

5 years ago, my kekasih bought his dream car, a mitsubishi evolution 9 that he named MQ22. evo became his baby, his toy, his heart and soul. with his 6 years experience of modifying his previous car, he extended his knowledge and passion for motor-sports by exploring the modification of his new baby since the day he possess it. evo had gone through many phases of make ups and upgrading that finally turned it into being the furious killer 9 with 500 horse power. the speed has the ability to create such adrenaline rush that i definitely can't cope.

evo then became an important part of our family. mukhriz & haziq enjoyed being wow-ed by friends when papa send them to school in evo. zarif doesn't really enjoy the roaring sound of the exhaust but he enjoys riding in evo. driving evo makes me feel youthful and sporty.

next week, the killer 9 is going to be handed over to it's new owner. my kekasih decided to sell it off and use the money for other plans and dreams that we have in mind. evo will have a new name, new owner, new garage, new surroundings & new journey.

my kekasih is quite sad to let it go but he knows that something more exciting is waiting for him and our family. he has new dreams that he wants to possess. however, the memories with evo will forever remain in our hearts.

thank you evo for being our ride.
thank you evo for being an exciting entertainment to my kekasih.
thank you evo for the wonderful memories..

mukhriz vs haziq

mukhriz:

born - 19/11/2002, time - 8.17am, weight - 4.0kg

mukhriz on 29/8/2005

he was my first baby. my pride and joy that gave me a whole new experience in life. he was a really chubby baby with real fair skin and thick hair. he had very low tolerance of pain every time he gets his monthly vaccination. but overall, he was a calm and good baby.. he didn't cry out loud at nights for milk. he just made soft groans whenever he needed feedings.
he's in standard 3 this year, he has grown tall & slim. he's still as calm & gentle. very shy & timid type of person. he doesn't rebel loudly when i say no to his wishes. he cries silently when he's upset. oh mukhriz... you're my big boy now. abang long to both your little brothers. i'm so proud to have such a well-mannered and polite son like you, my dear mukhriz...


haziq:
born - 11/7/2005, time - 11.52pm, weight - 4.05kg

haziq on 28/1/2006

oh haziq, my little apple.. he was born chubby and stays chubby. when he was a baby, he was not like mukhriz. he cried loudly every 2 hours for milk. and the 2 hourly feeding lasts for 4 years! handling him when he was a baby was quite a challenge to me because he was such an active baby. he fell, wounded, bumped, swelled & bleed a lot.
this little rascal of mine is a total opposite of his abang long. he rebels when i don't fulfill his wishes. he'll cry out loud if he doesn't get what he wants. he's talkative, cheeky & jovial. he makes me laugh with his jokes, his funny facial expressions & his silly fictional stories.. home is quiet without him.
he's turning to 6 this year but he's still so clingy and babyish. haziq... you're the everlasting baby of mine.

2010

2010 is reaching towards its end soon. so many things happened. some, good and happy but some are not good and sad. some targets and resolutions are achieved but some are still unachievable and maybe need to be carried forward.

family: 2010 brought so much love, passion, care and togetherness in the Nordin clan. we got closer and closer everyday. i am so blessed to have such loving parents, and great siblings with wonderful children. 2010 brought zarif to me, to my other half and to my 2 big boys. our home became merrier, happier and filled with lots and lots of laughter.

luck: in perspective of business, i would summarize 2010 as one of the unlucky years for our construction company. i had to face many challenges, dirty politics, failures and downturns. with continuous effort, i do believe that sooner or later this dry season will end. however, Allah is great and fair. in despite of the unlucky season of the construction company, Allah sprinkled some luck to our maintenance company. the company started blooming towards the 4th quarter of the year. we got new jobs with new clients, more equipments to add to our existing assets and more workers (that gives a big BOMB to our account every end of the month!! Gulp...) *nothing to be complained about, syukur alhamdulillah. :)

health: just a little bit of mild sickness sometimes but most of the time, i'm perfectly healthy throughout 2010. but somewhere in the middle of november, my other half's family was so sad and shocked when we discovered about my mother in law's sickness. she went for an operation and a few other post op treatments and now she is recovering bit by bit.

2011: resolution. i don't like that word. never had and never will. it somehow gives some kind of vibration to my brain, i don't know why.. but i know that one needs a resolution to be specifically clear about what needs to be achieved and what needs to be done. so i set for myself a resolution and keep my brain focus on achieving what i want.

with all the tests that Allah gave me in 2010, i accept them with gratitude and hope for a better luck in 2011. goodbye 2010...
