Family


This is my family photo taken during raya in 1980. I am the one sitting next to my father as i'm daddy's girl. Stilll with the Lady D hair... my version at least. Always wanted to have Lady D haircut but the Nyonya at the saloon is not Lady d's hairdresser.... so, this is her version of Lady D's hair..




This is a family of my own... taken during raya 2009 in Telok Air Tawar, Penang.. no more Lady D haircut.. :)

Visit to Pulau Telor, Yan, Kedah

Last saturday received a call from Abg An, asking if we would like to join him on a trip to on of the 4 islands in Yan, Kedah (my kampung) on Monday. We say yes immediately as been a long time since the last skype session with Abg An and family and the Girls missed their kak belle, Man and not to forget Abg Amir....

so, Monday 6 june 2011, woke up at 5.45am, eventhough it is holiday and woke up the Girls at 6am... very eager with the picnic plan.. both of them woke up with no yada-yada. By 7.30am we are ready on the road heading to Yan... Hubby drove as fast as he can as we don't want to be late...

8.30am, we reach the meeting point, rumah Afina... we were surprised as Liza n the kids still in their 'kelambu' lazing.... Hubby check the schedule again and smile... it is supposed to be 9.30am.. we are 1 hour earlier.. :D

no, problem. Hubby took the opportunity to nap on the hammock under the coconut tree... with the morning breeze... while me and the Girls ronda-ronda kampung. 9.30am sharp the first group went to the jetty to depart to Pulau Telor... change of schedule, we will be on the 2nd trip instead of the 1st one.

10.30am Abg An received calls saying that trip has been delayed as they have to wait for high tide.. and it is only expected to be around 11am.... we waited patienly at the meeting point..

11.30am get a message that the first group were just departed.. so have to wait another 1 hour... everybody's hungry, we had our pre-picnic under the coconut tree at Afina's house.. we had nasi lemak.. yummmy!!!

12.00noon depart to the jetty, this time we took everybody even the 3rd group...  reached jetty around 12.10n and load the food into the boat and 9 people... Abg. An, Liza, Afin, Balkis and Suti had to wait for the next trip as the boat has fully loaded... at 12.20 waved goodbye to the last trip group..

Loading...

Bye!!!! we are going to Pulau Telor!!!

First time on a boat!

That is our destination..

When we reached there the first group has already set up the tent and also place to lepak. Un load the food and SERANG!!!!!... we ate again... the the boat left us to pick up the third group.... after a while we saw the boat in the middle of the sea... uh oh!!!... smells trouble...
true enough, the engine is having trouble, so, the third trip has to satisfy with only picnic under the coconut tree... pity Abg An and Liza... :( it is ok, we can go again next holiday....

No... it is not FLAG HILL... but..

... it is Penang Hill.... I went there with the Girls on 2nd june 2011... the last visit was 15 years ago and it still using the old coach... now the new coach is much more convenient as it is airconditioned :)

We started our journey quite early, we reach there at 10.30am, but to our surprised, parking is already hard to get... got to make 2 rounds before i opt to park by the roadside. Saw the multi level parking area but still not operating.... next time maybe...





now they have upgraded the place... they even have Transit Room prior to on board the tramp..
