L-R: My uncle, my cousin; Marcilla and Mr. Salim in my grandma's house in Petaling Jaya.
Hello everyone. I have a mission! I’m on a mission to help my family trace a long lost family member by the name, Mr. Salim Bin Meh/Ismail. He should be in his late 60’s or early 70’s. Enclosed picture is a photo of my grand uncle, Mr. Salim (on the right in sarong). Mr. Salim was born, Jimmy or Jim Nato, a Nepalese who was brought by the British Army to Butterworth, Penang when he was young in secondary school age. He studied at Saint Marks School and became a good friend of my late grand uncle, Haji Johari bin Meh. During that time, Mr. Salim was under the care of the Saint Marks headmaster. Having spent a lot of time with my late grand uncle and the family as well as being accepted and loved as a family member, Mr. Salim embraced Islam and took his Muslim name, Salim Bin Meh/Ismail. He stayed with his adopted parents and family until he decided to leave for England and worked himself as a sailor. My grandma, Hajjah Non Ismail, (Maktok) is his elder sister. Mr. Salim met the family on a few occasions until he got married and have a family of his own in England. He married a Malaysian Chinese lady and blessed with two beautiful girls then.
In 1984 (I was not born yet), my late grandfather, Haji Ismail bin Haji Awang, my mum, Normah binti Ismail and my cousin, Marcilla went to London as one of our late granduncles, Ahmad had passed away. Through friends in London, my mother and my late grandfather met Mr. Salim and his family. Mrs. Salim was working as a nurse, in one of the hospitals in London. Her family is from Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately, my mum didn’t get her family’s address in Kuala Lumpur.
A few years ago, a friend of Mr. Salim and late grand uncle (Ahmad) visited my grandma in Petaling Jaya. His name was Akmal. He told my grandma that Mr. Salim and family had left London for Australia. Mr. Akmal sadly, had passed away after returning from Kuala Lumpur. My grandma and grandaunt, Hajjah Zainab, wife of Haji Johari had been talking and asking us (mum and I) to trace Mr. Salim and family. My grandma even said that she kept thinking about him for these past few weeks.
We hope someone out there will be able to help us start the link for my 80 year old grandma. She is hoping very much to meet Mr. Salim and family again.
Please help us find Mr. Salim! Thank you for your time :)
Okay I lied, I can't sleep okay! I WANT THIS NOKIA 5800 EXPRESS MUSIC!!! Can anyone get me this for a christmas gift? Even though I don't celebrate christmas, I do deserve to get a gift since I've been a good and obedient child *yeah right* I WANT! :)
I did nothing at home. Picked up my mum and headed to KLCC. She bought some chocolates at Patchi for her friend, I think, yeah, and I manage to score a box of chocolates :) *Yay!* Then we headed to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. I love eating there; good food + nice view of the water fountains. *nuff said* we love their Thai Crunch Salad. It has grilled chicken, cabbage, onions, cucumbers, peanuts, crispy wontons, and not forgetting the crispy rice sticks. I think the dressing is made of this deliciously peanut dressing. The salad it so crunchy and nice. I love it! I had Fettuccine with Garlic Cream Sauce and mum had Spaghetti with White Sauce. We didn’t ask for pizza since it’s just the two of us. For appetizers, mum asked for Avocado Club Egg Rolls. It’s good but I would recommend their Spinach Artichoke Dip! It comes with tortilla chips. Eat it while it’s hot *damn* mouth watering! It made my day, hanging out with my mother. I was bored to death at home :)
Thai Crunch Salad *Yummy!*
Spaghetti with White Sauce
Fettuccine with Garlic Cream Sauce
Avocado Club Egg Rolls *One is missing! Of course I ate it. ehhehe*

Mum woke me up early this morning. We went to Petaling Street to find this specific fabric for my baju kurung, mum had asked me earlier to bring along an example of the fabric *dang* being me, I FORGOT. Luckily, she’s in a good mood and didn’t scream at me :) Parked at Central Market and walked towards the shop which located next to Kotaraya. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there; I used to go to Petaling Street and Kotaraya to find my things. In Kotaraya for instance, I used to get a lot of my Naruto things there. Ahhh those were the days. Miss them! Anyway, it took us quite awhile to find the best and maroon color fabric. *Faz’s brother is getting married on the 3rd of January and their theme color for the wedding is maroon/cream, that is why my mum and I were on this kain-hunting* Well, we manage to buy the perfect material but we also bought another 10 kain-s which were not in the MUST list. *ehhehe* Thanks mum! I love you always! After that, we went straight to LCCT to pick up Dad. He went to Chiang Mai for work. Then, went straight to Shah Alam and gave the kain-s to our tailor. Enough about that, I would like to take this opportunity to wish my friend, Alifah who got engaged today, ‘Congratulation on your engagement day! One down, four to go!’ I’m not included because well-you-know *ehhehe* Semoga berbahagia selalu! Anyway, I need some sleep and I want to go somewhere for holiday! WHERE? WHEN? HOW? WHO? WHAT? To be continued... Later!~
Greetings! This is my first ever entree using my mobile phone. Ehehe its a bit weird but its okay. And its actually good, if i have something on my mind and the laptop is not here with me, then heyy nevermind, i have my phone to solve my problem. Im loving this! Instant blogging! Ehehe. I kinda sleepy at 530 p.m. Can you believe it? I guess I have trouble sleeping at the right time. I better hit the cold shower to wake me up. So, later~
I'm like, 'OH MY GOD!' HELP ME! I'm addicted to Starbucks Toffee Nut Frappucino! It's addictive I tell you. I had one just now, its not grande, its VENTI! Its like my, let me see, 5th, 7th in this month, WAIT! I've lost count. Damn it! and guess what, I'm craving for one right now! People please! I need coffee! Toffee Nut Frappucino! I like!

Happy anniversary to Mum and Dad! :) May both of you are blessed with more happiness to come! Love you both! Mum, Kate and I went to Veronica's brother wedding just now at MBPJ Dewan civic. This is the first time I'm attenting an Indian wedding ceremony. It was great. Veron is so beautiful :) There were many beautiful ladies in their saris. Damn, the saris are nice okay. So pretty! The food was nice too. The bride sang a song for the groom. Well, it was a happy occasion, I had fun! I wish them a happy marriage and many happiness to come! Anyway, I'm tired, wanna read Naruto and then dooze off to sleep. Later people~
I'm on holiday. Finally exams are over and I'm enjoying the days as it goes by. I have to say its a start of a wonderful holiday. A friend of mine who we haven't contacted for the past 2 years due to some circumstances, had finally come around and things are back to normal. I cried when I read his message. It's good to be like we used to. Losing a best friend kills apart of you. I know this before that we have so much in common. We used to like the same songs, and we even think quite in the same way. Even when we were apart, I've learned that we have so much in common. For instance I'm into photography and so is he. Just now, we chatted for awhile as I was reading Naruto Manga. Guess what, he reading it too. It is weird but in a good way. He is like a guy version of me. I still remember the first time I'd chatted with him. I called him "otak sama" meaning 'same brain'. When we were apart, it was like a living hell, like I said before, losing a best friend kills apart of you. I've known him since I was 15. Then something happened that made us apart. It was weird though, the whole 2 years, I do hang around near his place but we didn't even bump into each other. I guess its fate. It's fate that we didn't have a chance to meet. I knew I would cry in front of everyone if I met him then. *LOL* Nevertheless, I am damn happy that we finally reconcile. Looking forward to see him and his girlfriend soon :) I'm so happy! Indeed happy! Sing the happy song! Happy happy happy song! Okay I better stop! *LMOA* Later~ *much love from me*
Greetings! Just a quick update. I'm currently on a one week break. 3 papers are done, 2 more papers to go. On next Sunday, will be Malaysia & Singapore Literature and on Monday, the last paper will be on Islamic Ethics *wuu, ehehe*. Enough about that, today I went out with Akmal, Efa and Anem. They went to Masjid Jamek - Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman first, to find Efa's engagement dress and I, on the other hand decided to join them later in Sg.Wang. We had Teppanyaki for lunch *nyum* and I've been wanting to eat Crepe, chicken and cheese. *sedapnya!* But then, we decided to sing our lungs out. So we had a karaoke session. Green box is like a baby sister to Red box. It is located at level 6 in Sg.Wang. It is a descend place, very nice and cosy. The toilet is also clean, a plus for that. Besides that, the tidbits table is the best. *they have slusshies* Love it! Love it! It was a happy hour, so it cost about RM14 each person, but then Anem applied for their membership card and we showed our student cards, so we have to pay RM8 per person. *not bad huh?* The drinks are free flow *including the slusshies* and the tidbits. Our karaoke session starts at 5pm until 8pm. The host guy came in and told us that we can have a buffet dinner if we add RM10 per person and can extend our session till 9pm. However, we were full from the Teppanyaki and decided to skip, but the food looks good though, ahh not forgetting the dessert. Nevermind, there will be next time. I have to say, most of the songs there are the latest *it is good that they keep track of the songs* I'm sure I'll be visiting Green Box soon ;) anyway, forgot to say that, I had 2 pieces of crepes just now. Heyy! I had to fulfill my cravings if not I would not have a good night sleep ;p YUMMY! please sir, can i have some more? *ehhehe* oh, and I'm so happy to know that, there are people visiting my blog. Thank you people! Much love from me! *mwah*~ I had fun today! Tired, but fun. I didn't really shop today, I just bought a RED nail polish. *ahhaha* I wonder how I look like with red nails. We will see! Later people, need my beauty sleep~ *sorry no pictures for now, maybe later : )*
