Looking Foward To Brighter Skies Ahead

It was indeed a productive week for us and the kids in the Harfy Household. Apart of us celebrating our 11th Anniversary. we have been busy busy. I managed to surprised Adlil by sending him a bunch of flowers but never did I thought that I was up to another surprise, Adlil sent me a bouquet with 11 stalks of beautiful red roses, he couldn't find tulips, my fave flower to be delivered on short notice, So basically we surprised each other..cute. I am finishing my last 6 holiday courses before I embark on my new journey at my new work place. I am teaching another 18 more hours of Creative Writing class which will end on the 4th of December. The new job came as a fluke but I guess that's rezeki from Allah for me after undergoing 1/2 a year or all sorts of drama. Alhamdullilah. I'll fill you in n that nearer to time. For now its my lil secret..hehehhee.

So, from 4th to 14th of December, one day before I report for duty, we are planning on a family holiday, to bring the kids for jalan - jalan as they have been complaining that we have been too busy with work and they are bored to death...aahh that's just an excuse..they have been enjoying their holidays on the computer and indulging in their PSP battles.

Alhamdullilah for Adlil, eversince he moved to his new office, he has been really busy with back to back events which is good. He has also branched out into events since many had persuaded him to do so. I guess it is also to keep me occupied. I am currently his person - in - charge, handling his events. We gone through a few in the last past month. However, Adlil is more comfortable doing his AV stuff which has been his forte that he is brilliant doing it. The events organizing part complements his business. I am busy training his staff the nukes and corners of events coordination and they pretty much have got the hang of it. I help him with the details and cordination. Pretty satisfiying since I really enjoy doing it. His staff of Suara Rasa are also enjoying it quite a bit although now they have to do paperwork too.. which previously Adlil managed on his own with his temp girl and me. We are pretty booked up till end of this year.. Syukur. Wuth a new logo and branding exercise, I must say that we are so proud of it and Alhamdullilah Insyallah will continue to bloom rapidly. He's currently away in Desaru for an event and will only be back tomorrow night. Kinda miss my Panjang.

At the same time, I am also busy organizing my TESL 6 batch mini reunion which will be held on the 29th of November. Tough thing to do to get all approx 90 of us together at the same time since all of us now have our own life and also we are all scattered all over the world. So me and Bobo who is helping me get this thing going, tough. I told them that it is easier for me to handle a RM800k event rather than this..We have been changing the plans to accomodate, till one of my fellow TESLian told me to just go on with it and not to try to accomodate. I guess I am just that la..I would go out of my way to make other people happy although I have to cross the seven seas.. literally.We had altered the plan like 6 million times just to accomodate everyone. However, we are determined to make it work and people who knows me know how determined I am. Will post pictures to share with all of you after the event. Kinda excited to see some of them who we have not seen for 10 years!! Its a pity that some of my kakis like Intan who is in a the Kingdom of Dubai, Ray and Roy who has commitments that they couldn't slide their way through. Its gonna be really exciting and noisy. It has been a known fact when TESLians get together, the rock the house down. Even when we were in Uni, you can always locate a TESLian amongst the group. I guess our loudness and outspokeness is evident indeed. Kinda miss Uni years where we need not have to think much about adult stuff, just constantly enjoying the moment and the cool company. Best!!

Our trip to Penang was good. The flight was good accomodation was really nice, we were even upgraded to the Junior Suite. We had like what we call our mini honeymoon, just the two of us. Had a blast just reminising and spending quality time together. We make a point to go on "US" outings at least once a year. Next if rezeki lebih we would love to go to Krabi or Koh Sa Moi or Bandung or somewhere out of Malaysia. Insyallah if time permits. We had loads of fun going round the Island in our rented ride and just spending quality time together. We indulge ourselves to massage sessions and also makan makan and makan. I am just a fan of Penang food.. went to Gurney Drive to eat our fave food. Me and my Char Kuey Tiaw, Muar Chee - wow!!, Rojak Buah and Fried Oyster....drool drool amd met up with our Passembur geng, Adlil's Favourite. We went to the Feringghi market like every night we were there even saw the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel that is currentle in construction. Hopefully it will be ready by the time we have Rock to Rock so that we can go to Penang again but this time on our bike.

Getting late now.. really have been tiring week. Gonna try to catch up with some sleep. Tomorrow planning to cook a welcome home dinner with the kids for Adlil. Hope that I'll be able to share some pictures with you on the activity the next time around. Cheerio!!

The 11th Year

A lot of things has happened since the last time I checked in here..my humble office is ready for action..Qyra had her final kindi concert..& what a night it was for my little princess....Alief nervously sat for his final 4th year exam....As for Ryan, well lets just say that everyone is playing catch up with the little dude....me & wifey did some pretty exciting stuff...Penang was one hell of a trip. But nothing beats today cause this was the date that changed my life forever..........the day we tied the knot. Exchanging vows & promising each other that we're gonna grow old together & become soulmates.

Soraya had stuck by me even when the chips were down...yet still kept believing in me that nothing is impossible. She showed me the true spirit of going against the odds & making me a better man. Sure we all have our ups & down in marriage...who doesn't? ...its the making up session that I think we all enjoy the most...! anyway what I'm trying to say is I truly love this woman that I've married 11 years ago .

Could still remember the first time I laid my eyes on her & knew she was the one. Her charm, personality & her beautiful smile was all it took to make me realise that I want to be with this woman for the rest of my life.

Thank you for being a wonderful & loving wife. Thanks for wanting to have kids with me....3 of them. You 're a great mom to the kids & I just love you for everything that you are .

Happy Anniversary To My Wifey!!!!!!!!!

An Exciting 11 Years Voyage of Love

Blissfully Exciting. That is how I sum up my marriage of 11 years. Today is our 11th Year Anniversary. Pewhh, how time flies, 11 years my friends and still going strong. I guess when your hubby is more than just a hubby, its a different journey all together. Adlil has been my best friend, my staunch supporter, my gossip buddy, my number one fan, my shoulder to cry on, my pillar of strength..my everything.
We have been through hell and back and that is without a doubt. Some people are even amazed on how tight we are even after all these years. I myself believe that a marriage that does not go through stormy weather and is a smooth sail all the way - really not my definition of an intense, tight solid marriage. No element of adventure, not my cup of tea. We both have always been the one that are more of a go getter type so my marriage of 11 years has been all that. Full of adventure and love..
I guess what makes my marriage life so blissful is that Adlil and I share the same passion and we take time to appreciate each other, share the same interest, take the initiative to learn and understand each other and take pride in each other's leisure pursuit. We are also ardent fans of each other, we support each other's infactuation. Our love for each other is so strong and keeps getting stronger as day goes by..So you know how intense we are towards each other..
I really consider myself as being blessed having a husband as supportive, loving and tolerant as Adlil. I'm amazed at how much he believes in my talent and capabilities, more than I could ever imagine. He never stops me from exploring and to him the sky is the limit for me. He constantly encourages me and has always raise my spirits. He has faith in me more than I do most of the time. He never fails to make me feel how special I am. For the past 11 years, Adlil has taught me to believe in myself and has showered me with unconditional love. He is and will always be my hero. His tolerance level with me is just amazing. He has taught me the real meaning of life and appreciating what you have thus enjoying the moment as it comes. That you need to believe in yourself and your instinct to make everything work which is so true.
Thank you for being such a wonderful Papa to our 3 kids. You have been great in being a Papa who tries his utmost best to always be there for them and catching them when they fall. You try so hard to keep everything together and trust me, you have succeeded in doing so. You are indeed a great father to our children and we could not ask for more.
Honne, thank you for giving me the best 11 years of my life and I love you more than you could ever imagine. We are destined for eternity and forever is where we are heading. Thanks for all that you have done for me and you are my eternal soulmate. I thank my lucky stars that I hav you for keeps. My love for you is rock solid and I am so lucky to have you to wake up next to every morning and that puts a smile on my face. Looking foward to more happening years to come for the both of us.

A lil something for you, straight from the heart...

Adlil, you do not know how thankful I am;
To be sharing a lifetime with you,
You are my pillar of strength,
I remember the times that you've been there for me
And I see how your care, love and wisdom
Have helped me through
I look back on all the times we had spent together,
The tears, laughter, happiness sorrow,
Reminds me how much we have always meant
For each other, always and forever,
Honne, I love you more than life; you are my life
Happy 11th Anniversary Sayang..
Here's to eternity...here's to forever...
