Ombak Rindu - Outside the Box

Off I went to watch Ombak Rindu after I saw a friend's status about it which was strongly recommended. She is a busy friend but managed to watch the movie on the very first day the movie was out. It must be a special story  adapted from a novel that I also came across about it in the blog sites.

Ombak Rindu " the waves of longing for love, belongings, acceptance..."

The movie was about a girl Izzah, a religion teacher acted by Maya Karin was sold to a brothel by her uncle due to money matters. You would tear at the very beginning scene. Yet, you might not because a handsome Harris acted by Aaron Aziz, out of a nice car was there to the rescue while she was trying to flee from the brothel. Unfortunately the brothel's gang came at the same time and pulled her back to their place.
There again, she was rescued as a mistress by a playboy, the same handsome rich guy Harris (Aaron Aziz). He brought her to his home, the resort like house, I was intrigued and loving it. So moistured eyes not enuf to tear, though back of the mind, worried sick of the saying "keluar dari mulut buaya, masuk mulut harimau, means rescuer could be also a bad guy, my heart didn't relax.

The heartbreaker Harris who married Izzah for a sake of Izzah's request though he had already engaged with a childhood friend, a beautiful actress Mila, character  brought by Lisa Surihani who is a spoiled brat, yet an innocent victim. I felt sorry for her because she is genuinely in love with Harris.  She has a treasure chest that she keeps little things that she did with her childhood boy who promised to marry her. I felt touched that she said to him "One day, you will be deeply in love with me, after marrying me"... inevitably came out from her.  It also touched me when Harris agreed to marry Mila to please his mother. Just a mummy's boy thingy :) Very touching...to mother mother niee...
Heartfelt to hear Harris bravely declared that he had married Izzah whom he didn't think he would fall in love and would be so in love with.  It was a very nice scene together with the haunting music at the back with the lyrics...Tuhan tolong lembutkan hati dia untuk terima ku seadanya (Dear God, please tame his heart to love me as I am)... it could break you down, prayers do wonder mysteriously...

The above photo is Mila = Lisa Surihani with her Treasure chest - full of stuffs activities she had with 'Mr Wrong'. She became an actress to impress her love, Harris. Everything she did, she did for him, it seems. Her collections stuffs can build a nice scrapbook; A todays' trend. I have one in the photo below which I just started. Relatively, yesterday as I took a Paddington napkin and pancake flag to put in my scrapbook, my hubby gave me another napkin, I said no, no, not the whole restaurant that I need and too many will become junks haha...he said keep laa... like Lisa Surihani  did hehe....

Back to the film, the plot thickens. Misunderstanding begins when Harris was seen together with a colleague, both the wives waved upside down upsetting, love triangle chasing moment begins which ended Harris in the hospital due to an accident.
While he's recovering, Izzah was chased out from the house cruelly by Harris's mother. There again her childhood male friend Mael came to ease the situation, watery eyes remains back in the socket. In fact, she was seen with Mael everywhere, coincidentally and mistakenly to make the Harris's mother cruel intention appeared real.

Mila (Lisa Surihani) wants to be realistic to her life. For her, there always a chance to have happiness she deserves without messing people's lives. Although she loves Harris all her life, but she sacrifice to let him go with unopened heart...poor rich girl...

Spice Girls


Do I look like one of them? Just for laughs :) I'm in love with spice n herbs stuffs. I've made herbal juice plus spices drinks not long ago. I love it, it is a very soothing and calming drink. Later I will share with you the ingredients of the drink, so you can make the drink yourself at the comfort of your home and you will feel like in a cosy Spa while sipping it :) Now I am blogging about herbs and spices as recently, I just read an article that could not help to bookmark the joy of reading and also to experience it "Live" in visiting a place called "Spice Villages". Spice villages are located all over Kerala the most advanced state in India which also earned its reputation as the Venice of the East!.

In the article said upon arrival,the arduous journey will be forgotten as you indulge in a sensory experience like never before. The interesting part that I love the most is that not only spices n herbs grown in every nook and corner, most spice village operators enhance the experience by using herbal or spice products in just about everything.

Examples are lemongrass floor cleansers which not only keep the floors sparkling clean, but also emit a sweet sharp scent that keeps insects away. It's also common to find large pieces of raw ginger hanging from restaurant roofs as decor or spices in large gunny sacks tucked at corners.

There, you can also learn how to use spices and herbs in your daily life to become happier, healthier and perhaps wealthier - I heard this many times that natural ingredients in a vitamins that smell like alfafa, we can rest assured that it's genuine from herbs. I love the smell and to know the farm is ecological or organic that can produce such vitamins. You can start by learning to identify them by names and scents - a task made easy by the conscientious tagging of each spice or herb in the gardens.

Infact in my home I use only organic solutions. I feel safe and so natural with the products that are no harm to rivers and cruelty free. I'd like to tell more of herbs that work. Perhaps laterrrr loves:)

I know I love you before I met you

HKG with luv



With gratefulness to say within five weeks many things had happened. The most miracle one is five weeks is here with me. During this five weeks, I went around Hong Kong's concrete jungle.



Yes a beautiful five weeks that I cherish so much and to Allah I thank you and pray with gratefulness. I love the feelings of having this five weeks with me, would want to keep it to myself and enjoy it in my mind. I care about this five weeks and its too early to check it out but I need to make some changes once the feeling of the five weeks is here. By sharing it with pro can start the changes as early as possible. To share it out and to make sure the existence of the five weeks is here, is


morning sunlight breakfast garden


to convert myself from a tea and coffee drinker occasionally to dairy drinks drinker mostly. After sharing it with a professional is also to get rid of the vitamins I took to get this 5 weeks to exist. Thankful I did, the new supplements is replaced from the five weeks to many months to go.

stop for flowers :)


Alhamdulillah again I must repeatedly say though it was not easy to believe it at the beginning. The reality is here as 3 of us had witness the existence of the five weeks is normal in the right place. Looking forward to another month to meeting with the healthy beautiful 9 weeks again. The normal anxious feeling is here like just can't wait as usual. Patience and beautiful prayers are best investments. Early on during five weeks, was in an island snorkeling, less than five weeks was at a cafe for red velvet, was having it with girlie feelings. Was at kenduri aqiqah of a beautiful baby girl and glad to hold her closely. Before weeks, had received the good news of same kind news, this five weeks is the most beautiful thing out of the best things ever happened to us.



Non-stop praying with today is fifth week you are with me for months to come healthily and beautifully. And whispering to you my beautiful baby, I know I love you before I met you.

Stop & Stare Island



It rained heavily that morning, the morning I packed my bag heading to the land surrounded with blue water as heard. Got the ticket, got the gears for the water trip but by air I chose. The trip was delayed at the airport. 3 hours we waited, the loudspeaker called to pass desert for lunch while the airplane being fixed.


In the afternoon towards evening we arrived at the KB airport, taxi took us to the K Besut jetty. The wind embraced our faces, the breeze of South Chine Sea in the bright evening we breathed. Boarded in a boat, sped on the water, heading to the island that was none to see from the mainland. The boat rowed with motor engined, fast the island becoming bigger and bigger as we approached and the color of the sea changes to crystal clear that hidden fish can be seen.In the middle of the ocean the boat stopped and the boat driver asked the Tuna Hotel guests, raised your hands, the couple infront of us, raised their butts instead to reach their bags and waiting to walk out of the boat. The boat driver abruptly said please wait til the limo comes nearer, the limo is a another small boat to take them to the hotels. Only smaller boats can go near the beach to safe the coral. The limo which was the hotel boat came near, the boat driver said to the couple, you are lucky today, no need to swim today, the limo is here for you :) Enjoy your stay, the water is clear, watch out for deep water :)




Then our turn arrived at the hotel located at the nicest beach in South East Asia. Our room was by the beach which was the other side of the most beautiful beach. Upon arrival on the beach, got in the room, the clothes on our body we stripped, slipped in water gear from neck to ankle for summer girl like me afraid of the sun :), soaked up in the sun and sea, we were. No camera, nothing on the beach we left except the colourful flip flops on the powdery sand. Me lied on my back floating under the blue sky roof.




The chalet type hotels served nice ala carte and buffet, wanted ala carte but too hunger to wait, buffet we stuffed our tummys fast. Too tired to see beautiful scenery in the dark, but the sound of the wind and the waves from the beach cuddled us to sleeptight. Morning awake us to stroll along the beach which full of colourful fish. Checked out the place no wheel vehicles except water taxies. Strolling in the jungle by the ocean, bumped into an old lady sweeping the dried leaves, chatted with her who lived in a small village which was a place for the fishermen stopped to rest had developed into a small village. She wanted to sell 3 acre land by the hill at MYR150 k.



The trip went so fast with fantastic activities. Looked out for turtles, fish, baby sharks, beautiful coral, swam in the crystal clear sea. Luckily got to meet up with a tight schedule diver friend stayed at another bay. Enjoyable stops in Perhentian which means Stops centre for fishermen to continue fishing. The stops became commercialized for tourists to visit and dive left the fishermen turned to water taxi drivers and water tourist guide to hop from beaches to beaches. Some kids from the island told they want to be a Diving instructors when they grow up, water taxi drivers are their fathers' work for now. They dont view themselves as fishermen as the blue water where they live is protected by the ocean enforcement.



Morning arrived, breakfast taken, time to take off to colorful home, but the fishermen stopping point is where you turn left, right, front, nothing but blue view which make the trip as an amazing "stop" at the island of Perhentian!
The fish stopped at me. I stared and shared with you all :)

mY lil sunshine





[ Iyaz ]
Shawty's love is like a pyramid
We stand together till the very end
There'll never be another love for sure
Iyaz and Charice let we go

[Charice]
Stones, heavy like the love you've shown (shown)
Solid as the ground we've known (known)
And I just wanna carry on
We took it from the bottom up (no no no)
And even in a desert storm (yeah)
Sturdy as a rock we hold (oh)
Wishing every moment froze
Now I just wanna let you know
Earthquakes can't shake us
Cyclones can't break us
Hurricanes can't take away our love

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top (at the top baby), like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep on going
Forever we will stay, like a pyramid


Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh (ooh)
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh (ooh)
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh eh (oooh)

[Charice]
Cold (cold), never ever when you're close (close)
We will never let it fold (fold)
A story that was never told
Something like a mystery (yoh!)
And every step we took we've grown
Look how fast the time has flown
A journey to a place unknown
We're going down in history
Earthquakes can't shake us (oh)
Cyclones can't break us (oh)
Hurricanes can't take away our love

[Iyaz]
Like a pyramid girl let me show you
That I love you so much
That we gonna get through (oh oh)
Even when there's storms
I will never go, Ima be the one to keep you safe (hey)
Before was our love back it up more than enough
Holding on to one another be the cover when it's rough (oh oh)
Mother nature (hey) or disaster won't stop at happy ever after

[Charice]
Pyramid, keep it going (like a pyramid, like a pyramid)
Oh oh ooooh (like a pyramid, like a pyramid)

[Chorus]
Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock (solid rock)
It feels just like it's heaven's touch (oooh)
Together at the top (at the top baby, at the top girl), like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep on going (keep it going)
Forever we will stay (Charice), like a pyramid (what what)

[Chorus]
Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top (at the top baby, at the top girl), like a pyramid (pyramid)
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep it going
Forever we will stay (ooh), like a pyramid

[Outro - Iyaz]
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh eh

Everything I do, I do it for you.

Last night, I was at a mall and heard the song "Everything I do, I do it for you" by Bryan Adams. It reminds me of my conversation with my mom. She told me that the song is her favorite, I went how come?

20 years ago, she went to the commercial bank to get money which was very huge amount. The bank told her, she was not allowed to take the money as the Central bank needs her to declare it where the money came from and why etc.
After few days, the money was transferred to her account. The bank gave her the transferred slip together with the note written "Gift from son" which the bank made it easier for her. And the real message on the note that came with the slip was written "Everything I do, I do it for you" from your son, somewhere in Tokyo.

That was the best love story between mom and son I ever heard.
