Did anyone notice I was gone?

1 Comment// Posted in My Life, My Religion, My Thoughts by Nielfa Hanifa on 03.02.10.

Didn’t think so… but just thought I’d check in on my little place of babbles (out of guilt for neglecting it).
So what’s to share? Nothing much… It was my crown birthday December last year (I know that’s practically 3 months ago,) and now I’m 28 *gasp*. I received a beautiful pen and pencil gift set [...]

My husband is hard core…

Not only that, he’s also the hottest, handsomest and once again, MOST hard core husband ever! (Can you tell I’ve run out of adjectives that start with an h?)
Zeen got himself a mountain bike around the time we took our trip down to the Garden Route in April earlier this year. He’s mostly been cycling [...]


This for that…

Before Eid I decided to clear out my cupboards to give away clothing and shoes that I haven’t worn in a while. I ended up with two big bags full. Not that I’m a frivolous spender but, I realised then that I should start controlling my impulsive urge to shop.
Now there’s nothing wrong with spending [...]


Yes, I know…

I’ve been a bad blogger! I have so much to blog about but do I do the right thing and write about it? No and I don’t know why, but I’ll try to make amends now.But just to round up I will tell you, though not in detail, about the ten wonderful days I spent [...]


To suffer for beauty…

I went to a bridal shower/ladies evening on Friday past. We had belly dancing for entertainment and an indoor pool to our disposal. The highlight of the evening though, was when the ladies were supposed to undergo an Arab custom, the name evades me but it involves “smoking” a sandalwood fragrance into your skin that [...]


Totally arb…

I’m home alone making myself supper. Green beans stew that I’m going to have with fried potatoes instead of it being in the stew.
Zeen’s accompanying his mom to her ceremony where she graduates with honours in Child Psychology. Just days ago I was urging him to spend more time with her (without me). Congratulations mom!
I [...]


No rest for the wicked? But I’m so sweet…

No Comments// Posted in My Life, Random by Nielfa Hanifa on 02.24.09.

Work has been hectic… six books had to go to the printers within one week. There’s a new editor at one of the publishers and she’s been so frazzled that one of her books ended up being completely chaotic to deal with on D-day. I had to run up and down between our offices [...]


I’m beautiful…

1 Comment// Posted in My Life, Random by Nielfa Hanifa on 01.13.09.

So the actual realisation that 2009 is here, has finally kicked in. With work being scheduled for the months ahead, I’m strangely excited. But this post is about another sort of excitement completely. My newly found fondness of make-up and beauty products.
Now I’ve always been a jeans and t-shirt girl, plain and simple. Washing my [...]


Of times past…

So it’s 2009… But I’m not going to talk about the year ahead right now, first I’m going to look back at my last few weeks with nostalgia.
Zeen celebrated his “25th”* birthday and I planned a surprise party for him, but to throw him off completely it was the week after his actual birthday. He [...]
