it has been 21 years ever since i opened up my eyes to see the world. and within my 21 years of life, i've been passing through different types of route in life. it is just like a roller coaster path either. some routes i've taken were sweet and memorable. however, there are some routes too that are bitter and full of obstacles that all i ever wanted is to move on. in short, some routes were full of happiness and some routes, on the other hand, were full of sadness and tears.

but nevertheless, i'm proud to say that i have such good friends, good colleagues, good classmates, good buddies, good girlfriends and a good boyfriend who never failed to be there ryte by my side. they are always there next to me. like saying goes, friends who are there to be by your side during your both sadness & happiness moments are hard to find. but i'm fortunate that i've finally found them. and i treasure them. will treasure them till the end of time. till the last breath of mine. not only the people themselves but i will treasure all those great moments that we have shared together.

the similarities in them? all of them are always there most importantly when i need a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. they never failed to put a smile in my face every single morning. they never failed to touch my soul to make sure that i move on happily. all of them have different characteristics but nevertheless they are just a great and indeed important person in my life. 4 important person in my life (excluding family in this entry) are SHEILA, JIHA, ENDY & HANAFI.

they watched me cry. they watched me laugh. they watched me fall. they watched me up from the sadness. they watched me when i'm at the top of the world. they never failed to give me support and encourgement. they never failed to push, run together with me in the race. and when either of us fall back, we push each other. harder and harder so that we win the finishing line together. but being together. equally.

IMPORTANT PERSON NO.1 - SHEILA

all thanks to you my dear darling for being there whenever i need a shoulder to cry on in the middle of the night. you never failed to be there whenever i need your help. be it personal issues or open-ended issues, you will there to shower me with encourgement words, enable me to move on stronger. we were classmates for 3 years before. then we were seperated after the graduation. then we meet up again and you are my best colleagues ever. we went to work together. we went back hom together too. we had lunch & dinner together too. you spend you day after work to accompany me and vice versa. you really have helped me a lot especially during my starting days at work. your hugs & kisses that you possess me with never failed to make me happy. you such a wonderful darling sayang. thanks for being my friend. thanks for everything that you have done for me.

IMPORTANT PERSON NO.2 - JIHA

IMPORTANT PERSON NO.3 - ENDY

IMPORTANT PERSON NO.4 - HANAFI

how can i forget you baby? how can i ever forget you in my list? ever since you exist in my life, you means everything to me. you are my soul of happiness. you are the sunshine that brighten up my life ever since i'm down with lots of muddy life. you have been there whenever i need a shoulder to cry on. you never failed to pull up my socks whenever i'm down with all your jokes. thanks sayang for every single thing that you've done for me. you watched me cry. you shower me with bed of roses. despite all the obstacles i've faced all along, i'm still happy being with you around me sayang. and indeed i'm fortunate to have you as my baby. will i treasure you baby. you continuously shower me with your encourgement words and many others and i'm lucky that i have such good words from you. and the best part in you is your old school dance. haha. i just can't resist that particular dance steps - sure to burst me into laughter. hehe. afterall, no words can exactly compared to what my feelings have for you. unmeasurable to explain everything. my love for you just tend to grow each and every single day. i starting to love deeper and deeper. my love for you will be here, right in heart and soul, just to be together with yours my love. love you lots. muacks!

few days have passed & i remembered that there's a lot of things that i've missed on the past few entries. just because i concentrated so much about my birthday. so, now birthday is over! time for other issues. haha.

first of all, something to be recalled upon. on 22nd oct, 2 days back is exactly 4 years ever since my grandmother passed away. she used to be my idol. and even now, she is my idol. she is everything to me. i spent most of the time at home with her. thanks to her. because of her i know how to cook. because of her i know how to handle my household chores. because of her, i'm more stronger each every single day. despite all those obstacles that i faced ever since she's gone, i always tend to remember her. she is the person who push me towards my goal. she really meant a lot to me.

i could still remember on the moment she was lying on the bed at TTSH. it was fasting month. and indeed, i don't have the mood to eat. during that fasting month, for a week, i just had a cup of milo per day. it was really a heart-break to see her lying on the bed. looking at her pale face i'm down. really down. and the moment that she had her last breath, i almost collapsed. i couldn't handle the feeling. feeling of losing someone i loved. i love her a lots. very much. and when she's gone, everything seems different in my life. only god know exactly how i mean.

hmmm. tears start to gather in my eyes already. i better stop! haha.

let's talk about happy moments now. what has happened will lead me to move forward more stronger. and i will.

basically, something that i have not shared yet. it's my hari raya with my darlings. we went out on 19th oct, in the evening but we only manage to go to 2 houses - jiha & sheila. haha. almost hours at each house. even manage to watch wujud 2 at sheila's place. scary? certain chapter really can see the ghost. so, don't watch alone k? =)

without wasting any time, here i'm showing you those pictures that we have took during the raya outing.

how can we resist this sweet couple each & every single year.

the happiness that i finally found. *wink*

brother & sister who cares for each other so much. mimi is just so cute lil boy. tengok lah sape kakak dier? hahaha.

like father and son? hahaha.

the guy of the night.

darlings together!

this year - a mixture of red and black. sexy and romantic. erhem. haha.

such a waste that we didn't took pictures at sheila's place coz we are too engrossed watching wujud 2. and ryte after wujud, we spent out time watching reppears. wanted to kill time before doing to hanafi's place but eventually his family not back from jb. so we cancelled the plan then. from sheila's place, we went back home. home sweet home.

although it is such a short period of time with only 2 houses, we yet have lots of fun. being with each other around. just a great moment that will be remembered always.

now, let's move on with another story. story upon sheila's resignation. she tendered a month ago and her last day of work was yesterday. right aft school, i joined them for lunch. a farewell lunch treat for her actually. together with abg khalid & rafidah from gombak office and also recca, an ex-colleague of us too. we had fish & co. at imm. of course, pictures are the only way to prove how much memories are there left for remembrance.

cik din! the best comedian in the office. we didn't have lunch with him but afterall we are fortunate to have such a good manager like him. he treat his officers just like his own sons & daughters. lots of joy in the office because of him. i know he is kinda sad coz sheila is leaving. he & sheila were close. any help that he need, he will asked sheila. basically he is sheila's manager. but it's oukaye cik din. i'm sure sheila will remember you. hehe.

so, this farewell lunch treat was meant just for sheila. good luck in your new job k darling? be strong and watch the video that we have gave you to release your tension. hehe.

i didn't stop myself from taking pictures too. hahaha.

being sweet enough? or i'm just too sweet by nature. haha.

took another picture. this time around with my baby. =)

the october ladies in grey. haha. why october? both of us turned 21 this month. she had her birthday on 13th and mine few days ago. happy belated birthday to rafidah! *wink*

being us! so close yet so far. it's seldom that we could meet up, so, having this picture really put in lots of memories. =)

pinching couple. haha. they met in the office and they fall in love. so sweet. you both have my blessings k? *muacks*

the besties friend together.

skye, mike & abg khalid. wait a minute. mike, why you close your eyes? and abg khalid, didn't know that you can make such funny faces either. haha.

sitting in a row. ish, mike! you extra lah. haha.

endy drop by for the lunch too. and this two guys. just wondering, when can they dance the old school dance for us? hahaha.*bluek*

both of them. just been so sweet together. congratulations on meeting ms right and mr right. you both are just fitted to be together. you have my blessing too k sayang. and i just can't wait for your wedding! yippy!

basically, i'm too full after the lunch. lots of laughter along with the lunch too.

but before she left the office, her last step out of office, we manage to take pictures together. right in front of the office. haha.

all the girls being with each other. i'm glad actually to have such good colleagues like them. and i believe sheila will have the same feelings too.

both managers together with sheila. but why stand so so far? like not happy like that. haha.

look at this picture and we realised something. there is a spilt between nanyang team and hong kah north team. haha. nanyang team members all stand on the left and hong kah north team members were on the right. such a coincidence. haha.

i love this picture the most! but sadly, a bit blur. our bala took this picture for us. i think he shake a lil bit while taking this picture. yet, it's very happy moment. look at each other face, how much we love each other. =)

well, that's all folks. haha. more update in the future k?

happy birthday to you..

happy birthday to you..
happy birthday to syafiqah..

happy birthday to you..!

woohoo! i can't believe that i'm now have turn 21. people always said that your life with start with lots of memories when you hit 21. and not only that, indeed your life time will tend to move very fast. soon, you wouldn't know what will happen next to you in few years time, or even in few months time.

welcome to adulthood! haha. i'll always remembered this phrase, said by endy. hahaha. yeah, i'm no longer a girl, i'm now a woman, a young woman. ahakz.

guess you all can wait to hear the stories on how i celebrated my birthday ryte? and don't worry as well coz pictures are here too in the later part of this today entry.

on 20th, the day before my birthday, i spend my night with my baby, my darling girlfriends & of course endy too! have lots of fun coz i didn't expect the surprise that came from them that night. went to meet my baby around 8. went to suntec and then to swensens at park hotel, orchard rd for dinner. here are some of the pictures.

i was super hungry so eventually i ordered curry chicken baked rice. my sayang had his white chocolate blondie. together with that, he had his cuppacino & i had mango lychee.

look how engrossed he's trying to put in the sugars into his cup of cuppacino. bluek!

so, i disturbed him by taking his picture while he's trying to have a sip. but in the end, he make this funny face. thanks ar. haha.

he took this picture for me. thanks dear!

after our dinner, around 10 minutes before midnight, we walked off from that place and took a stroll around taka. didn't expect anything to happen. but he kept asking me to walk around that area first coz he said that it's been such a long time ever since he came down there.

soon, right after clock strike 12am, i saw someone, somebody, a group of people that i don't expect to see. it's jiha, sheila & endy!!! from far i saw endy's head. haha. thanks to him. i was super shocked that they were there. and then, i remembered, this must be them pakat with my baby to meet me on that particular midnight just to wish me happy birthday.

it's so sweet of you all my darling. didn't expect for that surprise. and indeed they showered me with presents and card as well. so touching. well, after so long, finally i managed to celebrate my birthday with lots of happiness. thanks darling girlfriends & endy for your surprise existence on that particular time. look what they have bought for me.

before showing me the presents, they passed me this cute lil card. written on this, and i believed it's written by sheila (know each other handwritting very well. ahakz).

once opened, this is the card. if you can read that well, let me write this down. it's stated, "a little bird told me something special was happening and he sounded so happy..."

and this is what written inside the card, "i knew it had to be your birthday! Hope it's rockin'!".. and guess what, upon opening the card, there is music too. and all the 3 of us asked endy & my baby to dance for us. you know, those old school dance steps. haha. but indeed they didn't. disappointed! haha. just kidding. at swensens baby did dance a lil bit for me. haha. so cute. i can't resist watching him. or maybe i just can't resist him either. *wink*

so, what do jiha, sheila & endy wrote in the card?

"dear syaf. happy 21st birthday to you darling!!! welcome to the club! khehe... i wish you all the best in whatever you do & may you find happiness in your life always. i love you! mmuacks.." -sheila-

"hi syaf. welcome to the 21 club!! finally, you have turned 21. =) i wish you all the best and hope you achieve your goals & purpose in life. enjoy your 21st birthday to its fulles." -jiha-

"hey syaf. happy 21st birthday & welcome to adulthood!" - endy-

thanks to all of you for being such a wonderful friends of mine. and i love all of you too! thanks for the surprise too.. muacks!

and not forgetting...

the dress! they bought a dress from chaos and this is such a lovely sweet dress. thankiu so much!!! i love it!

so, before they left to give space for me & my baby, we took pictures of each other. hehe. but i juz realised, endy is not in the pictures. oh no!

it's the 3 best friends again. we love each other of course. and those moments that we spend together are just too great and will never i forget. i treasure every single time we had together and i will love you all till the end of time.

not forgetting, with my dearest sayang. thanks baby for everything. thanks for being there on my birthday. i love you too baby! muacks!

my baby wish me happy birthday when we were in the car. and indeed he wished me twice. another wish was made at another place where we spent the time together. thanks for your wishes sayang!

indeed afterall, i enjoyed myself so much. 21st birthday on the 21st october. haha. was a great coincidence of good number. haha.

next day, as in on 21st itself, meet up with baby in the morning. had breakfast at makansyoik. but disappointed with the food lah. send baby to his estate for awhile and then met up with the rest of the colleagues somewhere nearby.

my day was spent all along with my dearest baby. went to watch a movie, max phyne at vivo. walked around. had ben & jerry's. coz i'm craving for chocolate fudge brownie. ahakz. then we proceed to suntec. had dinner at sofra and we had the chef's plate. actually, something is missing in the dish. but it's oukayelah. like he said, once a year! haha.

message for my baby:
although it's something simple but i'm fortunate for one thing. i'm fortunate that you're there to be with me. you spent your day together with me, just to be with me, just to be there for me on my birthday. thanks baby for every single thing that you have done for me. thanks for all your time, effort and cash that you have spent on me. thanks for being there for me. thanks for being my shoulder to cry on all these while. thanks for being my baby too sayang! will i treasure all those great moments that we spent together and will i treasure the existence of you in my life. and you are already the present on this birthday. present of my life which i can keep till the end of time. love you lots baby. muacks!

message for my darlings & friends:
thanks to all my friends & darlings as well for everything. thanks a lot! i appreciate all your hardwork that you have put in for my special 21st birthday. i enjoyed myself this time around. like people say, 21st birthday have to be something special & different from the rest of the birthday celebration coz there's where your real life will start upon. and indeed i did. love you too!

thankiu so much everyone!
