About Me

Who am I?

I was born in a middle class family or it is upper middle class *not to sure myself about that* to Baharim and Rosnani. They were married in 1985 and i was born in March 1986. The year of the tiger. So no wonder if people most see me as very vain and snobbish. :) When i was 6 months old i had a massive fever and ever since then doctors discovered that i have brain issues called Subdural Heamotoma. I went through afew major surgeries and til now i have 2 scars. One on my stomach and one on my head. I guess that why something im abit coco.. *wink*

When i was 3 years old, my baby brother was born on 24th December 1989 but he passed away 7 days later due to heart complication. Ahmad Faiz was his name. Never had a chance to call him angah nor touch and hug him. But his always dear to my heart. That was the only siblings i had til i turn 13 years old.

1 September 1999, my little sister was born. Azzalia Hani Baharim was her name. She's chubby, square face just like my dad. But now she looks more like me but on the shorter side. I always call her gemok or pendek.We dont bond that much due to the age different but now we grew alot more closer despite we do tend to get into each others nerves sometimes.
 

Me and my sistas

My family are very closed. Im alot more closer to my mom side compared to my dads. My mom and my dad are the second child in their family. My mom was born in Negeri Sembilan to a 'Tanah Datar' clan. or we called it suku.Suku Tanah Datar falls under 'golongan pahlawan'. 

My dad was born in Kandang Kerbau. Yes. there is a hospital name Kandang Kerbau in Singapore.My grandmother was a Singaporean and she and my grandfather married there and my dad was born. I always call my dad 'pendatang haram' coz he moved to Malaysia using those 'tongkang'. :) But no worries, his now a proud citizen of Malaysia despite most of the time he talks and criticized alot about the government.

When i was 7-8 years old, we moved to Uxbridge, United Kingdom. My hometown. This is were i grew up.We stayed there for almost 3 years while my parents pursuing their Master in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. I attended North Primary School in Southall and those were the best years of my life.

Winter '94... Uxbridge.

When the time comes for all of us to return to Malaysia, i became rebellious. I dont want to go back. Reason so, there's no snow, no summer break in Malaysia. 

" Buat apa nak balik negara mundur? dah la miskin.. Underground bukan ada pun"

Until now i still remeber those words.I was really upsit with my parents that time. I was willingly to attend boarding school just because i dont want to return to Malaysia.I hate it!!

Then we moved to Ampang, Selangor. Stayed there til i was 15 years old. I attended SMK Dato' Ahmad Rzali from form 1 til form 3. Thoe were the only best memories of my high school. My bestfriend that time was Fatimah Fazil and we still best friend until now. Then i moved to Putrajaya as my dad work as goverment servant. I attended SMK Putrajaya (1). I hate that school. I hate everything bout it. Thats one lousy school.

After SPM, i attended Nilai International University were i met another bestfriend of mine. Serina Ismail. Nena was my roomate, my shower partner, my shoulder to cry on and my everything.She always had my back despite she was Miss Popular in College.

My college days was the most valuable experiences which i wont trade for anything.This is the time were i knew the meaning of true friends, friends who always stick by your side no matter good or bad, friends who are two face, back stabber and the one who took advantages of you.

I experiences alot during this time. and i do mean alot. the good stuff and the bad. Ive done everything. Then after all that phase and tons of drama, i entered working phase. My first job was an Admin Assistant at a small construction company. I work there for 1 and ahalf years and then i work with a Doha based construction company. Afew years later til now im working with Mitsubishi.

Interest and what drives me the most.

Like most girls, i love shopping and make up.Oh, not to forget i love to cook and eat. Those 3 things i love to do on my spare time.Im a sucker for shoes,handbags and clothes. i have 3 wardrobe and yet i still cant find anything to wear in a daily basis. I have 1 wardrobe only for my handbags. 

I love to cook. Im not to sure whether im a good cook but i just love to cook. But mostly i love baking.I start cooking when i was 7 years old. I make french toast after watching Chef Wan making them on TV. So by the help of my mom to switched on the stove, i cooked my first dish. :)

My mom is a great cook. No surprised on that basically.I learn alot from my mom and my grandmother. From authentic Negeri Sembilan food to western food. But my heart and soul goes for Dessert.

My first attempt on making Red Velvet Cupcakes

Pigs in Blanket. :)

I love to travel.Travelling is my thing. Maybe because im used too it. My parents often went for business trips and they will definitely bring me along. Im blessed because God gave me thing opportunity to travel and explore different environment.Ive been to most countries in the world.Among all countries ive been, i really want to return to England, Istambul and Switzerland.This three places are the best place to be for me. Switzerland is because i love snow and skying, Istambul is just a beautifull place and England is where i grew up.

Character.

I can bet my life that if anyone of you asked all my best friend about the first thing they can say about me, they will say "Zara is loud"... Loud is sense of i say whatever i feel inside. I dont hide my emotions and i have nothing to hide.

I was bit worried about it at first and i do asked them whether they were really okay with it but lucky me they accept me for who i am. Its better to be hated for being honest rather than been loved for being the opposite.

Some people say im obnoxious and 'sharp' when it comes to the things that came out from my mouth. I wasnt proud of it. But 5-10 years ago was alot more worst compared to now.

Im very protective over my family. Especially when it comes to my sister. She's very important to me and i would kill for her anytime.

Boyfriend / Husband 

Hahahaha...Okay im going to be completely honest with you. I was a late bloomer.My first boyfriend when i was 18 years old. heheh :)

I was active in sport growing up during high school. My routine that time was school, practice, studying at home, and go to bed. Thats it. Thats how boring my high school life was. I was lucky that my bestfriend was there that time. She helps me alot on finding a friend for me. I do hang out with selected people only. God knows why. Boys sees me a 'boy' not as a girl.  So thats why i dont have any boyfriends growing up.

My first boyfriend was a 27 years old guy. His name was Mohd Nor. Adam. Our age different doesn't matters to me much that time.Despite he was 8 years my senior, we clicked. He doesnt acted like a boy despite the fact that i was only 19 that time.

But things doesnt work out between us that time and ive moved on from there. 

Then afew years fast forward, on 2011 ive met Mr. Fiance..Starting out as friends, spending so much time on the phone, texting and YM, then become more than friends. We decided to get engaged last year and now we're getting married mid this year. 

We grew alot during this process but what matters most if that we compliment each other. Our differences compatible with each other very well.

Working or Study

I used to go to Nilai International University for my Diploma in Business Accounting then i start working with a small Construction company in Kajang. Then afew afew months working and saving up money, i continue my degree in Business Managenet on part time basis. Its tiring knowing that everyday in the morning your at the office and later after work i have to attend class everyday from 6.30 until 10pm.

It has been afew years now and passing papers with flying colour and im currently finishing my thesis and graduate soon, insyallah.

I think that all for now that i can share about myself.Its sound boring and i  know that my life wasnt that interesting.. But atleast my lucky that my life was pretty ok so far.
