Frenemy

Thursday, May 31, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Have you seen the Mean Girls movie? It's not my cup of tea movie but I've seen this movie (part one and two). The movie is about a friendship between girls and their frenemies. First I know about the terms of frenemy is from About.Com. 

A quite interesting finding for me as I never know the word of frenemy before as well as  it reminds me with my buddy's experience with her frenemy.

Discover Ireland: The Beauty of Howth Peninsula (3)

Saturday, May 26, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Amel and Stef were very easy to please so therefore I always enjoyed hang out with them. Amel was always amazed by something she saw and she was always ready with her camera. Even something that looked ordinary she was still able to make it looks so special.

Stef was even more special to me. Although she had different belief to us, she was the easiest person I had ever met who can to get along with anyone. With these two girls beside me, hiking 22 km from my house to around the Howth Peninsula did not feel tired at all!


My New Template, Designed By Cebong Ipiet

Wednesday, May 23, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

After long journey looking for the suitable template I've finally got one! Last week, I decided to contact Cebong Ipiet , a blogger from Indonesia, asking her to design a template for my blog. She responded my email on the same day asking and the rest was very straight forward.

As I mentioned on my previous posting that I really like Ipiet's design (her design colours specially!), so when I told her  about my favourite colours she instantly sent me the lay out samples. 

And here it is ... my new lovely template :).

Facebook, Parents And Kids Under 13 Years Old

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Being young kids and no disciplines often find at aged between 0 - 12 years old but parents must not stop to remind their kids of what they should do and don't. It is a challenging job for most parents or teachers to remain calm when dealing with young kids as these young kids are little people who know only their own rules and not knowing clearly what is wrong and right.

Things become more challenging for parents when social media becomes trend today. Last year, my little handsome boy (he's 12 years old now) asked me to sign  up a Facebook account for him. I was actually disagree to do it but he insisted with reasons most his friends have one.

Still About Online Dating,

Monday, May 21, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

You probably still remember about my friend who got scammed from online dating, she's till doing it and two days ago she has her membership upgraded. She has confessed to me that she is actually tired with dating online but her curiosity to find a good guy keeps her going. 


To be able to get more features from the online dating site she takes further step by upgrading her membership. She's now able to get in touch with whoever contact her by message or a forum chat.

I and Other Women While Manicure Done ...

Saturday, May 19, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

While my hubby is still hang over from drinking last night I spoiled myself in spa today. The appointment was made last week for the manicure - my last manicure was almost two months ago, so that quite along ago. I don't usually do manicure in spa, I do it myself at home or even sometimes I ask my hubby to help me when he relax :). However, women do sometimes need to be spoiled with their things, too.

The thing you usually do while in spa, especially when you do manicure is talking or gossiping. Whether you like or not, you would get interest to listen what they talk about. Like me, I like to be a listener instead of the talker, but I do talk as well to participate the conversation. 

Manicure or pedicure can take one or two hours to get done - depend on what type of manicure/pedicure you take. This is long enough and usually I get sleepy very quickly by this. I think that's the reason why women like talking or gossiping - to pass the time quicker while waiting their manicure/pedicure done.

This morning, I had two women do their manicures, I was in the middle. The talking began when my therapist open the conversation: "Do you know what, my boyfriend leaves me. He's cheating with another girl. Bla, bla, bla..." A woman who sat left beside me reacting with her eyes opened: "Oh no". The other therapist who sat on the right beside her replied: "Are you okay?"

Mr & Mrs De Fretes

Thursday, May 17, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

It was a great news I got yesterday from Jakarta. Mrs De Fretes, a good friend of mine is going to have a baby! I got the news a bit late as her pregnancy is about 8 weeks already, but I'm still very happy for the news. 
The very happy married couple :). I stole the photo from Mrs De Fretes's facebook, forgive me Ratu .
In the future,  I will upload the baby's photo :).
They were actually married last year and I was invited to their wedding but unfortunately I couldn't make it. I promised  to myself instead to see them again on my next visit to Indonesia.
You probably still remember the post about our first meeting in Jakarta. Since our first kopdar I always make effort to meet her (and the husband) again :) - that is because they are a lovely couple, funny, smart and generous! 


The lucky couple are now expecting their first child which Insya Allah will due next year. And I can't wait to see Mr and Mrs De Fretes again - hopefully next month.

Need A Template For My Blog

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Still about template, I haven't found a suitable template for my blog. I've been checking most free templates on Internet but yet still can't find one that cup of my tea.

Maybe I'm a bit fussy recently about my blog design - not really happy with any template I've uploaded! 

I was thinking to buy a template from Cebong Ipiet's template design as I like her style very much. Humm....

Two Crimes On Sunday Evening

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

I and my friend went to town on Sunday for girls day out. We planned to go for window shopping and then lunch. We went around from one shopping centre to another, just wanted to have a look what we like but the only shop we ended up in cashier was only in a food shop, restaurant and cafe.


After half hour over we decided to go to food shop where near to the shopping centre area. Not far from the shop entrance, we saw a big fat woman coincidentally bumped a man who was apparently blind. As the blind man was trying to look for the stick, the woman didn't get any help and not even said sorry to him - instead, she was the one angry to him.

Discover Ireland: The Beauty Of Howth Peninsula (2)

Wednesday, May 09, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

There were quite many people when we entered the start point. I think most of them were tourists. For few minutes, we were taking photos at the start point (and still with the ice cream!). The weather was so lovely, a bit breezy but still warm. 

First 10 minutes of walking was just empty land and we arrived at not the very top of hills but high enough (as I'm so scared of high!), near the top hills there were very nice sun flowers thrive, the rest was just spectaculer of the magnify landscape of Howth Peninsula, between hills and the sea. And its just the beginning of the easy level ....

Some young girls who were not far standing far from us busy taking photos, I guess they were Spanish. They asked Stef to take them picture of them. It was a magnificent landscape, everyone would love to perpetuate that place in a memory. We asked them the same after finished taking photos for them.

Backpakers from Indonesia :)


I feel 10 years younger :D

Candid camera by Stef

We continued walking up the hills, as I was afraid of high, Amel and Stef guard me by walking left beside me. After less than an hour (that inlcuded with taking pictures!) the road hills getting steeper and I was getting even more scared.

Although the road beside the sea seemed very high I still enjoyed the view, I even forgot that I was scared of high after an hour walking as the view was just magnificent! That was also because Stef and Amel were singing all the way up to the hills :D.

Oh, I forget to mention about camera. I forgot to bring my camera but luckily Amel did and Stef had her iPhone. Amel loved taking pictures, so every step on the Howth Peninsula could not be missed from Amel's camera. So we had to stop for taking picture everytime Amel saw interesting subject!

The good thing is she's a good photographer :). And oh yeah, I forget one more thing, all photos were taken by Amel (sorry Amel I didn't ask you for permission - just can't wait to post our trip!).

Taken by me with Amel's camera :)


So peaceful
In the middle of the top hill we took a rest for just few minutes (and off course taking pictures again!) and then we continued the walk. Still half to go to the easy level, Stef and Amel continued singing the song that I've never heard  before in my life.

We joked all the time all  the way to the hill, what I liked most from these two girls were they were fun and easy going no matter what the situation was. Stef was the girl I like to bugging most, and yet she was still smiling and showing her cheeky face - and we loved her!

Without checking how long we had been walking, we arrived at junction between the easy level and the harder one. We discussed for a while, Amel asked for the harder one, which is symbolised by red colour. We agreed. We walked up to the road and saw a car park. We decided to take a rest for few minutes on car park and the continued to see around the car park which was just located beside the sea.

Amel took advantage this rare view by taking some photos while Stef was trying to take photo of me who was standing beside an odd building. We continued walking down the road until we saw a junction we realised that we were lost ...

Bye for now.

Discover Ireland:The Beauty Of Howth Peninsula

Monday, May 07, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Howth is 6 km far from where I live by walking and just 5 minutes by train from the local station. Howth is also well-know with its Peninsula and hiking activity. I have actually been Howth for several times during weekend and when the weather is nice, but never done the hiking in Ireland before - not until my friends came up with this idea for my 'farewell party'.

On May 5th 2012, I, Amel and Steff decided to have a big walk. We planned to walk from my house to Howth and then hiking. Around 11 am we started the walk. Although it was a bit breezy but the sun was still very bright, which was just perfect for us! 

Walking in Ireland is such a nice thing to do, especially when weather is nice. We didn't even realise walking for around 6 km, we arrived in Howth village about 12 noon. As soon as we arrived we got lunch at Beshoff.  Beshoff is famous with its fish and chips and I think it's not just me who love this mouth-watering foods but most everyone do. 

Around the Howth village

Howth has also restaurant where just located beside the sea. On weekend, I and my hubby sometimes like to have lunch there. Aside from the food price is reasonable for tourist and local, the sea view is just great place for the weekend off. 

There is also some fish and seafood shops around the Howth, which is another thing I love from Howth and makes me always doing my routine before leaving Howth - buying fish and seafood.

Although it was a bit breezy but the sun was still very bright, which was just perfect for us! 

just the beginning of walking up to the start point  

amazing place of Howth Peninsula

ready to hike!  



level of hiking: which ones are you?

The three of us had fish and chips and fried prawns for lunch from Beshoff. We had the lunch just on the small garden near Beshoff. The lunch finished less than half hour and we continued to walk up to the hiking area. As we didn't know at all about hiking in Howth we decided to follow some people who were walking not far from front of us.

Along the way to start point was just absolutely so beautiful views and it took about 15 minutes from the Howth village to the start point. We took time to buy three ice cream for each of us before taking the big walk to the hills: two magnums for them and pink ice cream for me!

With still eating ice cream we read the maps for the hiking area. The map shows four lines with different colours and each colour tells different level of hiking. Green and blue colours were for the easy levels which took about 6-7  km of hiking. The red one was a bit harder, took about 8 km. And las one, which was the purple colour was the hardest one, it took 10 km of hiking!

And we were ready to hike....

The Spirit Is Back!

Thursday, May 03, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

And yeah ... yeay! Back blogging with a high spirit. Finally. The new look of my blog gives me 'new life' to write again and yeah it works just like that!

Had been working hard to find new template for my blog yesterday but none was a cup of my tea. This template was, I think, the best for my blog. None of the premium template interest me so I decided to take this template. I found some templates were good but for some reasons they were enabled to upload on my blog.

The template's name is NotePad. I found it on Free Blogger Template website. I'd  love to add the link of the designer for my respect to their creation but couldn't find their link. If you know the creator of this template please let me know.

How is your spirit today?

New Template For JengSri's Blog - Yey!

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Yey! After almost two hours looking a template I've finally found it! No details for designer but it's made by Bie. Thank you Bie!

The main reason why I change my template is because I see a blogger's template has the same template and name as mine - hopefully this is just a coincident!

So if you see this template has the same as your then it's definitely just coincident :).

Under-construction


I will leave the new template with a bit fixation - in case I change my mind :). Some of those lay outs need to be changed are link tool bars part and the box ads.  Will need time to work on it.

I'm planning to buy a template. If you know anyone has a good design for type of personal blog with good price please feel free to comment below or contact me at [email protected]  - thank you!

Hello, May!

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Sorry for not up dating this blog nearly one month! Our time for leaving Ireland getting closer and closer. I'm physically not too busy but my mind is full with loads of schedules. Also, I'm a bit not in the mood to up date my blogs :(.

Need a new template for JengSri's Blog

To keep up my spirit from blogging, I want to change my blog template and have been looking for the newest template design. Just before I post this, I've been looking for some templates and my first research was my favourite Indonesian designer template, Cebong Ipiet. She seems does not have newest ones (I like the early Cebong's design 'Paper Girl' though), but the Paper Girl seems like everyone has it already. 

If any of you have the good ones to share with me please, please, feel free to drop the links with your comment - I desperate looking for the good one :(.

My favourite template design

It should be elegant with nature color - kind of Cebong Ipiet's template design. I'm just so into her! Pink colour with elegant design would be my favourite one. 

I just have a look Dani's design - its very good  but the price is too high :(.

Free template or buying?

I prefer free (off course!) but I don't mind to buy as long as the price is reasonable. Below $30 approximately.  I see some designer template put their price too high with template design below average. Sometimes I see the free template even better that those buy template.


Happy Tuesday everyone!
