Ramadhan al Mubarak is here again. I had a conversation with Azman yesterday and we both agreed that Ramadhan can be so tiring but so much fun. Being in the holy month always pushes the happy buttons inside our brains and releases more endorphins than all the chocolates and coffee and sex and drugs can ever give.

Did I just talked about sex and drugs in my Ramadhan entry? Astagfirullahalazim… tsk tsk tsk!

I hope this time around my Ramadhan would be better than the last in every aspect. Spiritually is one and technically managing all daily activities that include doing household chores, screaming at Miki, working at the office, screaming at Miki, preparing food for sahur and iftar screaming at Miki, shopping for raya etc. All must be done while energy is being kept at the minimum.

I seriously hope Miki won’t join us for sahur every morning. He still co-sleeps with us and he always has his hand on my face or feet on my tummy while sleeping at night to ensure that I am at his side. Once he couldn’t feel me he would proceed crying his pitiful cry like a woman robbed off her designer bags or Azman a geek losing his network cables. And external hard disk. At once. Sungguh syahdu sekali.

One thing that I wish I could avoid during Ramadhan is losing weight. Every year I would lose 3-5 kilos of weight with the floor rate of 45 kilos depending on how much I weigh on the first day of fasting. I would then take me another 3-5 months to get back to that initial shape weight. I don’t think I look very voluptuous healthy at 45kilos. Bila nak mencapai tahap kegebuan Kim Kardashian ni? Isk…

All in all, I am sure this Ramadhan and Syawal will be an exciting one. I look forward to lighting lampu pelita panjut in my garden at night and lampu liplapliplap too! Just like what I had when I was a child. Let’s just hope Miki won’t burn down the house with bunga api. Just like what I did when I was a child.

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan everyone! Semoga diberkati!

The car that I have been driving today was bought in 2005. Every year Azman takes care of its insurance and road tax. Although it has suffered minor self inflicted scratches and dents but the windshield has been damaged by the lady driver.

Yes peeps, aku dah langgar sana sini tapi cermin depan tak pernah pecah ok! Respek sket!

So as the 6th year approaches Azman decided that he finally trusted me and that we should just eliminate the windshield insurance from the total insurance package. After all he has been paying RM100 for that alone annually and never claim it.

I told him whatever, I just know how to drive and langgar but I don’t know anything about paying and what not. So the new insurance policy has been issued on 3rd week of July. On the 4th week of July, for the first time in the history of Diyanazman, the windshield cracked! If it wasn’t for the tint, it would have pecah berderai dipupuk sang bayu…. Begitulah jua hati laki aku! Pecah berderai mengenangkan cermin keretaku…

Just because of this kid..

In case you are wondering, nope he didn’t throw a rock on the shield, neither did he hit it with a hockey stick. Oh neither did he made me so angry that I screamed and the glass cracked. All the lil boy age 2 years, weight 13.5 kilos and about 95cm tall did was leap on his toes while he was sitting on my lap and CRACKED! Suddenly there were a huge star where his head hit the glass and to our surprise the lil boy wasn’t seeing stars at all! When Azman screamed his name, Miki went…. Apa? Apa? And looking puzzled.

“KENAPA TANDUK CERMINNNN?“  Tu dia bukan selalu bapak ko tu nak menjerit kan?

So that’s the story how I got a bintang pecah sebelas on my windshield. Ini kita namakan keras kepala. Literally.

I test drive Honda’s new compact MPV, Freed with 32 other Advertlets bloggers about a week ago. It was great fun!
A day out in the all new Freed was held at SOULed OUT where we got together with the internationally prominent auto blogger Paul Tan. We were grouped in fours and fives each in a Freed, and drove in a convoy from Hartamas to Putrajaya.  That was no problem at all because Freed can fit up to 7 people!

I was in a sleek gray Freed with the oh so fabulous Hafiz Cutecarry Mustapha, Ridzuan Richie, Hafiz and ops sorry dear I forgot your name!

That guy in red is Paul Tan! I was supposed to receive a gift too but I went back early! boohoo! pics by mynjayz.com

I have to say this new MPV is just like any other Honda – is packed with style! I love it. It’s really sleek and doesn’t look bulky but the enterior is super spacious!

Being a Yummy Mummy I feel like this car is a complete must any family with 3 or more members.
Performance wise, the Freed carries a powerful 1.5L 118PS i-VTEC engine with Shift Hold Control and Grade Logic Control for an exhilarating driving performance. I have no problem driving it, after all it is no sports car and made exactly as a family transporting MPV, not for speeding! But one thing I really admire about Freed is its small turning radius!

Dudeee.. I can make a complete u-turn with only one hand on the wheel! This is so awesome! I can put on my mascara with one hand and drive with another! How cool is that?? Eh.. I mean I wanna change the gear with one and drive with another! Takkanlaaa I nak pakai mascara masa drive… kan bahaya tu.. hehehe *ops*

After all safety has always been my number one concern in contemplating the cars of my choice after how diva it makes me look while driving. Freed has dual airbag – a must!! If your husband wants to get a car with one airbag only! Say no! He is looking forward for wife number two, I am telling ya!! It is a conspiracy! Imagine in case of accident, your driving husband will saved by the airbag dan KO MAMPUS SORANG-SORANG NYAHHH!! Apa ertinya ini??? Amboihh! Hmmph!

In view of Miki, Freed has a great feature called Automatic Sliding Doors with Anti-Pinch which generally means the door won’t kepit you! Ok? This is awesome super hyper kiddoes like my lil Miki. Freed’s door is also only 410mm from the ground with grip handles to make it easier for kids to get on board.  The doors open to a “walkthrough cabin” that has four “captain chairs” for the first two rows and third row seats that fold up sideways. Captain chairs are great because they are compatible with all baby car seats, so there is no need for you to buy new car seat to suit your new car.

41omm off the ground! sportyyyy!

Really spacious!

All the space you could ever need! Great for blogging on the go!

hahaha! I loike this pic!

Among other things that make Freed excellent for a family ride is its huge walkthrough Cabin with a 200mm walkway for easy access; its big cargo capacity and its many compartments for keeping knick-knacks and stuff.

Priced at Rm112,ooo on the road. I’d say Freed is an excellent buy! After all it’s a Honda.
