Few Updates

I was quiet for some time. Malas nak update. Anyway, here goes few events which I manage to recall at this moment;

Raya Haji @ Jengka

I called Balai Polis Jengka & Karak to make sure our route are flood-free. Nevertheless, traffic was very heavy the day before Raya. Budak2 semua dah restless. Supposedly the journey only takes 3 hours, but the traffic already bumper-to-bumper starting from KL lagi. We reached my house after 6 hours of driving. Sabar je la..

About Haris

I notice Haris' development was quite advanced compared to Kakak & Abang. By 4 months he can lie on his stomach unaided, then move forward commando-style by 5th months, managed to sit wiggly by 6th months, and crawl by 7 months, which was during Hari Raya Haji. One week after that, he can stand by holding on things. How time flies.

The kids started school

We registered the kids during the very last minutes, which was actually 3 days before school start. We intend to send both kids at the same school as Husna's last year, but there's transport problem. At last, the teacher agreed to sent the kids home. Problem solved.

So this is Husna's second year at the school, and on the other hand, totally new environment for Haikal. Nevertheless, Haikal was very cool on his first day of school, since he was always accompanied by Kakak, and he knows almost all Husna's friends & teachers. (Kakak balik sekolah selalu cerita, & dia pun selalu berangan pi sekolah & befriended Husna's friends - sort of Husna's friends were his imaginary friend).

Since there's no hassle, we left the kids at school early and went for windows shopping & lunchdate at Eastin - using free vouchers courtesy from the training I attended during Ramadhan last year .

Husna's Birthday Party

This year, my Husna has turned 6. We celebrated ala kadar je. It's a small gathering. Husna invited few of her friends at school, while we invited few close neighbours & friends. I baked Husna birthday cake, it's a Barbie Cake which the cake pan I bought at ebay. I bake my kids' birthday cake, it's another way to save. I cook few dishes like Spaghetti Marinara, Pizza & Mihun goreng, and accompanied by trifles as the desert. The day before, we pack some goodies for the kids.

It's exhausting, but we're happy to see she's happy.

Happy 6th birthday my sunshine!

Haris' first teeth

Haris dgn gigi baru. Tumbuh on hist 5th month.. My cute lil baby.. (sesi puji anak sendiri.. hehe)

Raya entry

Tahun ni raya kat Kota Tinggi. First day raya, jalan2 rumah jiran terdekat. 2nd day raya , jalan2 kat kampung sebelah, pi rumah Mohen & rumah member Azhar. Third day raya, singgah rumah nenek Azhar, then balik Pahang. Nothing much to story about raya, standard agenda je, jalan/makan (ulang 100x) :P


Family pix. 5 of us this year. 1st raya for Haris.


Beraya ramai2..


Gadis2 & bujang. Jumpa ular mati kat tengah jalan.

With cousins

Uih nampak lubang idung.. hehe

Raya mood

Ramadhan dah almost coming to end. Will be going back to Kota Tinggi for raya on Wednesday.. then to Pahang on the 3rd day of raya. Kuih raya dah siap, buat sekadar yg termampu. Ade la dalam 10 jenis.. hahah.. actually it was more experimenting with new recipes using my new Europa. Cepatnya siap kerja compared to my cute 24 litres oven yang dah 5 tahun berjasa.


On the other hand, budak2 dah start main bunga api from the first week of Ramadhan. Despite being banned, senang je rupanya nak cari. Ade je jual kat pasar Ramadhan / Pasar malam. Nak order bunga api kat opis pun ade.. heheh..





Babah main bunga api on behalf of Haris.


Husna & Haikal having fun..



Will be having Smart Orange training tomorrow. Boringnya training time org dah nak cuti2. Bulan pose lak tu. Attended the 1st class last 2 weeks, and was given few assignments. Tomorrow will be the 2nd class, but have not even started a single word for the assignment. Camno tuh? Planning to do half during sahur this morning, and another half during the class itself.. hehe (pray I will not being picked up to present, else kantoi).

Good nite!

Haris in action

Harid dah 4 months & dah pandai meniarap. How time flies..

Little Hideaway

Last weekend, we went to our future-little-hideaway @ Pedas NS for a site visit. Not much of progress since our last visit. Saw Dato' Wahid & his family. I had a chat with his wife, with their 2 small daughters tagged along, aged 4 yrs & 3 yrs. Had a feast of free local fruits & nasik lemak. Cant wait to see the place grow.


This pix was taken on our way to the site.

Wish-list from Bangi

I have a brother and a sister-in-law in Yorkshire, UK. This coming January, they will be shipping some items through their friend who'll be back for good. Among them are our items which were left back in UK due to excessive luggage during our visit last May.


Jalan2 cari makan..

Happy Sunday..

So far we had not being productive these 2 days. Rilek2 tak buat ape2.. Rumah pun tak kemas lagi.. Lunch pun tak masak hari ni. Lucky we were invited for a kenduri kesyukuran by our neighbour. Haha.. sungguh malas.

The only thing that I think was quite fruitful was, we went to Pasar Borong Selangor to buy some groceries. That was early in the morning. After done with our business in the wet market, our attention was diverted by the nursery nearby. Borong pokok lagi.. Here are some of the verdicts. (Click on the image for a larger view)




Our brand new light purple & dark purple Petunias

Talk about petunias, the husband was always dreaming of having these kind of flowers. At last, mission accomplished. Other that that, we bought other kind of flowers which I dont know the name, but was told it was a family of cactus. Whatever..

The I-dont-know-the-name flowers

Then after having my home-cooked mee goreng mamak, the husband wanted to do some gardening, with the daughter as the assistant.

Husna tengah tolong kacau babah..

Pokok ni masa beli banyak bunga. Bila kitorang bela takde lak bunga die.. hampeh.. So the husband replaced the soil, helped by Husna, after we discovered some worms in the soil. Maybe they were the culprit all this while yg menyebabkan bunga2 tu pupus.

Tadaa.. Look at my hands..

Come to think again, our weekend was not that unfruitful. How about your weekends?

Busy as bee..

Today we were busy. After I finished cooking mihun goreng for breakfast, the husband coming downstairs without his office attire.

I : Eh tak keje ke hari ni?
H: Macam malas. Jom EL..
I : Hurmm..

The husband was suppose to attend a meeting today at his office. But he dont like the meeting. I have 2 meetings to attend. But ponteng EL once in a while pun ok gak.

So today activities were;

While in Alamanda, we stumbled upon 2 Ninja Turtles. Managed to snap few photos with them.

Haikal with one of the Ninja. Muka cuak je..

The kids are having a good time playing at the Little Buds.

And few times riding the merry go round..

Then I remember of Husna's request to has her ears pierced, same like Mama's.
M : Nak ke ear-rings macam Mama?
H : Nak..
M : Nanti sakit sikit. Boleh tak?
H : Okay..

Then we get into Tomei to have the shot. She chose the green studded earrings. Ok.. ready..

After spraying on both ears, here we go.. One, two, three, go! She didnt even flinched. That's my girl..

Yeah.. Now I'm a big girl...

Now all smiles.. time to eat..

The Taman..

This is our taman... in front of our house which actually 'sekangkang kera' aje.


This is the kuchai which were re-planted by my mother. Dah besar nanti, senang nak buat cekodok..

The 'Datin'

Yesterday was quite hectic for me. My mother wanted to re-plant our pokok kuchai and also the orchid she brought from kampung. So she need a few new flower pots. Off we go to the nearest nursery to get all her needs. The first nursery which I know, to my disappointment, was closed, forever. I think the site was confiscated or bought over for other construction works.

Then we went to the second nursery. Too expensive. I dont know that a plastic pot for that size can cost so much, at RM60. Then the third nursery, which will be the last option, since I dont know the way to other nursery (we have quite a lot nurseries in Bangi). The price quite okay, except that they dont have plastic pot. While looking around, the employee asked me;

E : You ni datin ka?
I : No, why?
E : Sini selalu dato & datin datang. You look like one of them.
I : Haha ya ka. Ok la kalau nak panggil datin pon boleh jugak..

My mother and I burst into laughters. Saje je nak jek org la tu suruh beli pasu die.

At last we bought 5 pots and 13 bags of soil.

Yesterday, my mother & sister manage to organise our long-abandoned plants & flowers. Will take few photos tomorrow.

Ahem.. the 'Datin'
