Nad Nad - Twice the nuts

Here's my gift to my virgo baby

2008-09-28T03:19:00.011+08:00

It has always been and always will be the day each and everyone of us waits for and my friends its sure is not New Year. Some anticipate the day as a renewal while others might fear the day it self may be cuz the numbers always go up and it never goes down..Got the clue? Well, the particular day that i am mentioning here is the celebration of the day when we brought into this world..Our birthday!

Lemme tell you a lil bit about mine..My b'day is in April and i have never ever had such a blast for my bday! Behind my back for almost God knows how long Nadia was planning a surprise birthtday party and I will always remember it till the day i die. BUT this entry is not about my birthday it is about my Virgo baby Nadia's 23rd Birthday Celebration 2008.

So, in 2007 what we managed to do was buka puasa at hilton and I only surprised her with 22 roses. This year the game stepped up to a whole new level since she throwed me a surprise birthday bash..

The celebration started as soon as the clocks hits 12.00am thanx to Diera and Tasha who came to surprise her with a small cake. Cake no #1 Very sweet and Nadia was sure not expecting anything. Hahahaha. How she smiled that night.

Fast forward a couple of hours on Fri, we went to Seoul BBQ in Bangsar to have a wonderful and delightful tummy filled dinner surrounded by family. It was only Nadia, Diera, Tasha, Nurul, Syafiq and me. The place is average but the food was awesome. Having been there the first time it was sure an experience for both of us. Since its puasa and all, it packed! It's an all you can eat buffet where you choose what u wish to eat and u really cook it yourself! The fish was superb and overall it was a nice and terrific dinner. With tummy full, we pulled ourselves up and drove to celebrate Nadia's birthday somewhere where its much more fun and decided to continue her celebration at Laundry, The Curve. Here was another surprise; A "custom" made cake by Tasha and Diera! Hahahaha. Jeng Jeng Jeng!!! Cake no #2! Thanx for the cake Guys!! After that it was not much left to do but to head home and get a nice full nite sleep cuz there will be more the next day..

The next day on 20th is where all the fun begins!

I had to start early because there was a lot of things to do. Before I get to that, Nadia and me decided to have her "birthday dinner-buka puasa-makan makan" at RahsiaKL,Jalan Damai. More on the place later..;)

Here was the list of things I had to do for her birthday;

1-Text or call everyone to remind about the dinner
2- Get the birthday deco
3- Get the birthday cake
4- Decorate at rahsia
5- Make sure all things are ready for the dinner and get back home in time to pick Nadia up.

Sayang I am soo sorry that I lied to you on that day. Hehehehe.

I started the day early. First I had to get the birthday decorations and also the cake. Took a couple of hours and managed to get to the restaurant by 1pm. (Note 6 more hours before dinner). It was a challenge to drive with balloons in your car cuz they blocked the rear view mirror. Hahahahaha!

So managing to reach there, to my surprise the place was not opened yet. It was a weekend so the only start business at 3pm. I am glad that we reserved the patio and I could go through the back of the place to get to the patio.

I have to mention that the patio is nice but its rather plain. To make the place nicer and warmer and more special for my sayang, I am proud to say I managed to decorate the place with the help of the staff who came later. An hour plus of blowing up 40 pieces of balloons and all the candles plus the table setting, the patio is now warmer and ready for Nadia's birthday dinner! Wohoooo!!
I was out from Rahsia by 4-ish pm. ( Note- 3 hours before dinner)

Coming home I got ready and by 6.30 we were on the way there. I have to say nothing feels so good like when things go according to plan!

By the time we reached Rahsia, the place was perfect! With the candles and the balloons, especially the reaction on the birthday girl face. All of it was worth it! That was all I wanted. I just wanted her to feel special, I wanted her to know that the place and the dinner was about her. It was for her and I am glad I managed to pull that! (Fuhhhh--LeGa Nye!!)

There is not much to say on the food it was all goooooddd and yummy! The one thing I will remember the most is when they came out with her birthday cake ( Cake no #3..Hehehehe).. The music died down and they played the birthday song and came in with the cake with all the bunga api ( Im not sure how to explain it..Sorry) and it was perfect! Nadia wasn't expecting it and it really did show! She was kinda shaking..excited with the lil surprise! I got you good with that sayang! Hahahaha!
I am glad that everything worked out as plan and most importantly I have managed to let the one I love the most to really feel special and smiling throughout the night. All I want is for her to feel happy because she is such a special person...always giving and warm for me and she deserves all the happiness in the world. I want her to know that I appreciate her in my life and she is my most valued treasure, No she is my only treasure in my life!

With all I can give and more... Happy 23rd B'day Sayang!
Look out for next year! Hehehehehehe!
I love you so much!!

A special thanx to all who came and made it more special on the night,the very wonderful and helpful staff of RahsiaKL.

A very special thanx to Diera, Tasha, Nurul and Syafiq..You guys are the best!

That's it for now,
JIM

P/s- Sayang,you are the bestest gf and I am blessed to have you! I love you Nadia!

One year and the journey continues...

7th July 2007-- It's the date when Nadia and Nadzeem became a WE,an US and we both never looked back ever since..
7th July 2008-- Can you believe it? One year has passed that is 365 days,52 weeks and I don't want to count the hours,minutes and seconds. Hehehehe.. I'm not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing but our anniversary was on the day when classes started again.. So when we decided to bail on the first day of class, guess that it was more of a bad thing..We couldn't let class got into the way of our anniversary.. Nothing can and nothing would.. Hahahaha!!

Since this was our first anniversary,I decided to make it special..I had planned a wonderful night with my better half and I am so glad that it went as planned.. After deliberate research with the key word of "romantic dinner in kuala lumpur" and also "romantic dinner in damansara" plus "how do i make my Nadia happy with good mood and romantic ambiance" ( never tried the last one but you guys are free to try it) a few hits came up..sorry ain't gonna tell you what came up but what i can say is the place where it has it all is Moussandra in Bukit Bintang..More of that later..

We started out the day a bit on the evening...Since we were both in the BB area,we decided to catch a movie first at Pavilion..GSC to be exact..A few movies were on now since its summer and all so we agreed on Wanted with Angelina Jolie in it..Hehehe..Have to say that the movie was in a way cool cuz they could swerve bullets and what not..Think of it as The Matrix but in reality kinda thing..All and all it was cool..

Next was the magical secret spot that was always there but hidden behind people's view..The type of place where you never thought that it existed in BB..There are a few nice places in BB no doubt but this one has its very own charm..Its romantic ambiance and the way you felt that you are in another place when start walking into the restaurant.. The lucky restaurant that was our pick to have our First Anni Dinner was Moussandra..(Here for more details)

Now here's how we both can say about the food...ITS SIMPLY DELICIOUS...From the tapas to their desert..Hmmm..YUmMy!! Can't remember what we had but here are some pictures of our lovely dinner..

To my love,My Nadia..Thanx for being this huge amount of positive and vibrant energy in my life..You are the reason i wake up happy and glad every morning cuz i know there is someone as beautiful as you insideout who loves me for all my weaknesses and all my strength..You have made me a better person..I love you till forever..I kid you not that i shall never leave you..I can only imagine more beautiful things for us in the future..Thanx for opening your heart to love me deeply and endlessly..

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY SAYANG!!! I LOVE YOU!!

Disney's Beauty and The Beast Broadway Musical

2008-06-28T15:31:00.013+08:00

I believe that there isn't anybody in this world who was never captivated and entranced by the magical world of Disney. From the timeless classics of Cinderella to the latest animation of Finding Nemo ( Not the latest but you know what i mean rite,the new style of Disney). Take a moment now and think back to the days where you sat in front of the tv and suddenly Disney took you to places you've never been before.Places where it was magical with talking fishes,cats and where wooden toys became real life boys.

Wow for an intro huh? Hahaha.

So, on 27th June 2008, me and Jim went to watch Disney's Beauty and The Beast Broadway Musical at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center. The day the sale of Beauty and The Beast's Broadway Musical tickets started i promptly asked my mom to bought 2 seats each for evening show. "Amazing, beautiful, awesome" are the word we uttered as Jim and i drove home yesterday after the play. We were so impressed by the high quality of the performance like the choreography, the music, the set design, the costumes and above all, the phenomenal performance turned out by each featured actor and actress.

Oh yeah,it must be noted that the venue for this was perfect but as usual some Malaysians are simply not punctual..They whoever they were did ruin the musical but only to a small degree..

Thats that..Lets us continue..

We were both blown away by the same magical feeling that the cartoons did when we were kids..
Remember the scenes where Belle danced and sang? MR MACHO but dimwit Gaston, The talking clock Cogsworth, the chandelier Lumiere,Mrs Potts and her adorable son,Chip and of course The Beast with his famous rose(you could even see the petals falling) and the magical mirror...C'mon don't tell me you've forgotten about all this..Imagine seeing all this characters alive..Singing..Dancing..It was simply Magical..
Once again it simply took us again to another place.

The actors were superb.Their voices were awesome and I swear that some of them sound exactly the same like the movie.The props,the sound and the special effects were stunning..As you would expect from a Broadway International Musical i presume..Noted that the orchestra were also phenomenal,not a hint of wrong key..

Although there were a few scenes not showed (but hey what do you expect it was a musical),it was never dull or boring. In fact we were both glued to our seats,anticipating the next scene even though we knew what was going to happen.

Overall,the show was simply too good to put in words..If we really did manage to wrap it up in a few sentences,it wouldn't be fair to the timeless yet elegant and enchanting Disney's Beauty and The Beast Broadway Musical.

I guess that will all from us for now..Keep you guys posted for our soon to be done activities..Watch out!

Lots of ♥ ,

Nadia and Nadzeem

To my guardian angel

2008-04-14T04:06:00.000+08:00

To find love where I never thought it will be shall forever be my gift,
In times of heartache, there was light in the form of you,
I prayed to be healed,to be loved,to be cared for...
But I never knew that my silent prayers was heard and the answer was actually right in front of me,
Standing there next to me,
Even talking to the one who will love me,

To have shined for me and kept me warm as I got better and stronger is a generous gift from you.

I still might not understand you completely; but I am,
It will always be a journey I am willing to take,
A journey worth all the time and effort.
Though i might not have a perfect understanding of you,
I love knowing that you have the most truthful heart,
I have lost count the moments that you take my breath away,
Cause I am head over heels for you daily,
I will always be mesmerized by your glowing hair and that radiant eyes and smile.

What has happened no longer matters at all,
Cause the only importance is to embrace the present with you and prepare the future together,
As I have promised you before I will not let the story of us end..Not now, Not later, Not EVER.

Thank you for making room to love me and I would never take that special place for granted,
I will forever cherish you and treat you right.
I love you with all I have; My heart and soul is in your hands.

Thank you for being my guardian angel Nadia,
I love you for you Sayang.
Thank you for being the bestest for me and bringing out the best in me.

What 2007 brought

2008-01-01T00:01:00.000+08:00

I know that 2007 isn't over yet but then again 2008 is just around the corner. I wish to share with you people what 2007 brought me..the ups and downs..the highs and lows..First of all..Ehemm..Sayang sorry that this part of the blog is only the story about me but then wait for the end..Hehehe..

As usual in the beginning of every year since we are introduced to the concept of new years resolution as many people do I too had my list. One of it was to end 2007 full of happiness and also content with what I have achieved all year. Ok ok sure i didn't manage to go to Bali or join a voluntary organization but many things that was not planned happened.

For starters, I managed to work in a workshop. That was one of the highlights of this year. Soo many things that i learned that makes me want to be a better engineer. Engine oil,greasy hands and hair,clothes;it made it all worth while. But there was the disappointment of not being able to send the car we made ( PROTON SAGA VR4) to Sepang Drag Battle. And how my friends car ( Nasir) had a last minute ( yes 2 hours before the event) turbo malfunction. The time and effort placed into those cars..Sighh..but then again my friends there is a miracle behind all this..The Saga mentioned had a drive shaft failure that all of us didn't notice at that time and if we were to send it to race that night, i could only imagine a really horrible accident..See not all things are bad..

In the case of my studies,not all things are good to my standard.I did fail a few papers and still repeating them. But don't judge me yet, Bill Gates didn't even finished his university and look where he is now. I have a view of where i want to be...so right now i am preparing to build a bridge to bring me there. It will take time,patience and also intelligence.

As with life there are many up and downs,some high and some low,some loud and some silent. You get my point by now i presume. Well, through a rough period i went through this year i met an amazing person and this person changed my 2007 from a dull one to an absolutely amazing such a blast year. I can never thank you enough for all the warmth and kindness,love and respect,understanding and listening that you have given me my sayang,my babyluv,my precious fiancee...my Nadia. Without you in my life right now,I dont know where ill be...most probably ill be lost..Thank you for directing me back into life and making me alive again..

SO to end this blog i would like to post some of my resolution for 2008:

I,Raja Nadzeem Rozaimie shall in 2008;

1) Play my role as a son,brother,boyfriend,friend,student,Muslim with full responsibility. I shall take time to make sure everyone in my life is filled with as much love and attention as i can possibly provide.
2) I shall never let a dull moment in my life take away my focus and energy on what is important in my life and hurt the people who loves me them most. Many times I was too selfish and self-centered.
3) I shall keep myself happy and healthy on all levels; Physically,emotionally,spirtually
4) I shall learn new things and make sure that to keep my promises and never to tell lies.
5) I shall learn to give more to those who matter most in my life and to whose who are in need

There are still many things in my list..I do not wish to share it all.. Some of them..many of them are private..What i really wish for 2008 is to end as a better person that I am now..

Thank you~

Wishing all a Happy New Year and A blessed 2008!! Remember that all things happens for a reason and HE is always there wanting the best for us. All we have to do is don't stop trying and never lose faith.

SO LET'S WELCOME 2008!! Let the party begin!! Hahahaha..

Ayesha's Confession

Heaps Of Fun!

2007-11-23T18:26:00.000+08:00

lets the pictures speak for themselves..

Ice cream and Chocolate = Guilty Indulgence

2007-11-16T00:45:00.000+08:00

Never underestimate the human mind. Filled with energy that brings out honest and wonderful creativity. Ever so passionate in its own process..So is it rightfully wrong to place a plate with ice creams,strawberry,bananas,nice cute pieces of cakes and also a bowl of hot melted chocolate kept warm under a small lighted fire...Ladies and gentlemen,I shall now introduce to you to the mouth watering, some even say mythical and enchanting "Baskin & Robbins IceCream Fondue".

Finding this awesomely sweet dessert is simply sweet. Well the Baskin & Robbins Cafe is situated at The Garden. The brand new mall next to Midvalley Kuala Lumpur. Where exactly i aint that sure but what i remembered was it was on the 3rd floor. Well if you do decide to go, take it as a treasure hunt since the have concierge placed on every corner of the mall. You can't miss them. All suited up and smiling. =)

Back to the topic, imagine this ( this is what actually happened )...Your at this brand new spanking mall with your significant other walking into unchartered territory. Out of your comfort zone. A whole new experience..Hahahahaha..We all know the malls in Malaysia are quite similar with one another..WELL let's just pretend this is interesting.. You and your partner are tired,confused and dazed the amount of space this new mall. What do you do when your caught in a position like this? In my case,I looked at Nad and she looked me deeply into my eyes and said " Sayang, i wanna try out this fondue thingy Ez mentioned..its at Baskin & Robbins". Problem solved. No more confusion ,just guilty indulgence..

Having served by quite cold workers ( I blame working too near to a freezer). We were served with I can describe as a painfully sweet and delightful dessert to eat right after seeing your dentist ( I really did go to dentist in the morning ). A bunch of cute ice creams ranging from chocalate to peppermint,a bunch of fruits; strawberry,banana,kiwi etc and also the secret weapon..A bowl of hot melted chocolate.. So what do you do?? With their lengthy forks you pick what your taste buds desire which in Nad's case was her strawberry and carefully dip in the chocolate then carefully placing it in your already drooling mouth.. Nice ehhh...

What better way to spend time with your loved ones..Ice cream and strawberry dipped in chocolate then shared together..Ultimate SWEETNESS!!
