Found this photo yeterday. It was taken during cousins wedding last year. I Like it and it really makes my day....

Bruno Mars - Just the way you are♥ w/lyrics

Was introduced to this song by Girl....

She asked me what is my reaction if Nana sing this song to me... I told her i don't know, not until hen sing it to me...

but now I know what my reaction will be... i'll have tear in my eyes.... Girl, you are sooooo right...

Love all of you...

Pasar Ramadhan

Yesterday we re-visit Pasar Ramadhan Alam Megah. This time around we went a little too early. Not many stall are ready and most of them just arrived or still preparing... One thing I can conclude as I'm totally not a PARAM person as I can't find anything to buy there and nothing nice for me to shoot. We managed to buy only air Assam Boi, even at PARAM USJ 7 we couldn't find anything decent to buy... the food are the same and the price what make us think twice before proceed with the purchased... Would like to boycott the stall with ridiculous price, rm3 for i small murtabak? hmmmpp.... sendiri mau pikir la...

Homework

Last night I was helping Aisha to do her Math homework and I pity her as she is only 6 years old and still in kindergarten but the calculation that she has to do is the same as I did when i'm in std 3 - 4.....

this is what happen when we are so exam oriented.

I'm trying my very best not to pushed my girls in studying as i believe that they will learn more through experience.... and they'll get the experience outside their classroom and textbook...

Waving Flag

First time I heard this song during the World Cup and was introduced by Aisha. This is the song for Coca-Cola world cup campaign. Aisha loves this song very much and i like it too...

Try to listen and understand the lyrics of the song...

Syukur Alhamdulillah for what I have now...

Thistle Johor Bahru

During the Wesak Holiday in May, we went to JayBee.... Baby ada kenduri then kitaorang ambik kesempatan la melawat JayBee.. the last time I went there was in 1997, that was 13 years ago.... The Girls pun tak pernah jejak kaki ke JB lagi so, it is a good reason for us to go and visit JB. We stayed at Thistle Hotel Johor Bahru. It is a nice hotel and we had our room upgraded.

Luckily we had a good hotel and room, otherwise it will be a nightmare for us as there is nothing in Johor Bahru that attract us. The old Pantai Lido was gone and it it like small cowboy town during the day and we were during long weekends... too bad... not much of photos to share as we spent our time mostly in the hotel room and pool....

I like the wording in on the napkin...

Taken from our room

Test power
ni pun sama... test creativity sikit....

The pool is good.... can't resist the temptation....

WE would like to go back to Thistle JB... at least the hotel is good....

Cinta

It has been 15 years that I'm in love with him

and i am still in love with him

everyday, every moment......

missing him when he is not around

couldn't wait till the evening to see him

have teary eyes every morning when we say goodbye

put up my best smile when i saw him in the evening.....

Nana, I love you so much.... and the girls too...

Ketakutan mengatasi segalanya....

Hari ni baru intan tau betapa ketakutan boleh mengatasi segalanya.... kisahnya begini...

Tadi tengahari dalam pukul 11.50 intan macam biasa la get ready nak gi ambik the girls bailk school. Lepas dah alih baju masuk bawah porch, gi check mail box untuk surat (read as bills) then buang sampah.... then with the letters pi la bukak pintu car and nak start engine... tup, tup ada sekor cicak lompat from my shoulder to the lantai kereta... menjerit tak ingat la intan.... memang intan takut gile denga cicak ni... memang tahap yang boleh menangis and mengigil-gigil kalau tak kena gaya dengan cicak ni....

dah la terkejut dia lompat dari belakang bahu intan, then dia dok ushar pulak kat intan... phew!! what a scene.... lepas tu terus pergi bukak semua pinta kereta dengan harapan cicak tu nak terjun keluar car... tapi hampa sebab dia lari masuk bawah seat.... ambik payung try jolok-jolok bawah seat.... tapi tak keluar pun.... tak boleh jadi ni...

terus call nana, bila dengar je suara nana terus je nangis sebab dah takut sangat.... mintak tolong nana ambik girl kat school sebab hari ni girl balik awal pukul 12.30n ada hari guru... by that time jam dah pukul 12n.. so, nana kata ok dia gi ambik girl.... intan pulak terus ambik payung and jalan kaki gi ambik adik... nasib baik kindie adik dekat aje....intan tak nak drive keta tu sebab takut tengah drive nanti cicak tu keluar balik and we got panik, nanti car masuk dalam parit pulak... satu masalah la pulak dengan the girls ada sekali... kalau intan sorang saja tak apa jugak... keselamatan kena ingat....

on the way balik dari kindie tu singgah kedai belik sayur n telur nak masak nasi lemak... sebab dah tak berani nak keluar so, intan kena masak la untuk the girls makan lunch.... sampai rumah terus masak nasiand sebab panik punya pasal sekejap aja siap semua.... nana sampai rumah dengan girl dalam pukul 12.45n, nan terus je gi ofis balik.... tapi sempat tukar car dulu sebab petang ni intan nak hantar budak2 gi ngaji... tak nak lagi bawak keta tu.... takut....

ni la nasi lemak , sayur campur and sambal tumis udang hasil takut and terkejut kat cicak....

Nana so sorry coz i've made you worry and have to come back from office just to fetch Girl from school... this is one of the thousands flaws that I have and until today I still can't overcome it... yet.... I'm trying....

That is my story on how fear over ruled everything.....

Sepagi Di Tasik Puchong

The Girls are busy with the frisbee

Gaya Pro

Anak sapa ni??? Elok ada pintu nak panjat pagar jugak.... isk!isk!isk....

Melawan arus....

Cuba untuk memulakan gaya hidup sihat.... pagi weekend yang terluang di gunakan untuk beriadah... this time we went to Tasik Puchong (next to the masjid)... Nice place to be with family.... can have quality time with the family there.... will try to find other places to go again... we are trying to avoid going to shopping mall as our family activity place...

Makan-makan di Bukit Raja

Teka- teki

Girl : ummi, kalau KATAK terbalikan jadi apa?

Ummi : KATAK

Girl : kalau ONE?

Ummi : ENO

Girl : kalau CENDOL?

Ummi : LODNEC...

Girl : salah! CENDOL kalau tebalik tumpahla....

Girl & Ummi : hahahaha... good one...

mee kicap kat Jeh-Ubong Bukit Raja

ABC dia banyal 'telur katak' (selasih)tu la.....

Lepas makan kat Jeh -Ubong we headed straight to Stadium Malawati, to check out on the Metrojaya warehouse sale.... tidak seperti yang diharapkan... we went back empty handed..... *sigh*.... we should have gone to Jusco Bukit Raja instead..

Interest

My girls are having different interest between both of them... Girl likes to read, she can't put down the book if it catch her interest. now she's starting the latest series of Wimpy Kids it is called the Dog days. She completed 3 series in less than 1 month. This is only reading during the free time at school...

While Aisha is more to arts. She likes to sketch and draw just anywhere and anytime. I've bought her sketch book and it almost fill-up one whole box. I need to go to IKEA to buy the second box She also loves art... she's an artistic girl.

Now I have to carry a big bag everywhere I go just to have the sketch book and the story book with me.. this is my new weapon to avoid battle field. Anything for the The Girls....

.

Hujan

Bila hujan kita mengeluh baju tak kering , nak keluar susah, nak pergi hantar anak mengaji susah, semua pun susah... tapi bila tak hujan, kita komplen jugak... panas dan tak selesa... mungkin juga air tak ada kena catu kalau dah kemarau terlalu panjang... jadi macam mana ni???

konklusinya... kita harus bersyukur seadanya... hujan adalah rahmat dari Allah, begitu juga panas.... sememangnya apa yang terjadi adalah rahmat dari Allah....

walau apa pun, intan memang suka hujan.... ;-) it makes my day... teringat berjalan dalam hujan malam-malam masa kat bandung haritu.... nak melayan nafsu shopping punya pasal.. hujan lebat pun sanggup di redah.... basah pun, basahla..... those were among the many memories on rainy days.... sweet memories...

Family Photo

The last family phot that we have is during raya last year... it is so hard to get a family photo with all 4 of us as the tripod has been missing when we are moving to KL.
This was taken at Singapore Zoo in March 2010.

Balik Kampung Round II

Painters at work

Birthday Girl n Birthday Boy

Warung kat sebelah sekolah Pei Hwa, sg. Mati..

Last saturday (24 April 2010) balik muar lagi.... we departed from Putra Height a bit late @ about 5.30pm sebab girl school and we went to SS15 to make copies for the documents.... it is our unlucky day with the printing company, since we went to 2 places in usj21 and also mydin, it is either the shop is closed or the machine broke down. So, we decided to go to Bormas @ ss15 and we are stuck in the traffic jam for about 1 hour. Luckily Bormas is still open and we had our lunch at Retoran Majeed.

After asar we shoot back to Muar. Arrived Taman Muhibbah around 9pm, kitaorang ikut hiway AMJ all the way from Alor Gajah, agak banyak kererta.. Sampai rumah , terus ajak mama n abah keluar dinner... kesian diorang dah lapar. Pergi dinner kat favourite warung sebelah sekolah Pei Hwa sg. mati. We like this warung sebab it is quite open place and berangin plus the food is sedap n murah.. No thai food there... but that night satay dah habis.. the satay was sold at 30sen/pcs....

Next day, went for breakfast at R&H - Satay Pak Abu. Best breakfast in whole world... sataty, mee rebus nasi lemak + roti bakar.... we are celebrating mama + nana's birthday... Happy Birthday Mama + Nana....

Balik rumah after breakfast, the girl sibuk tolong Tok Mama re-paint the old rak pinggan... diorang buat 2 tingkat aje... then dah di tinggalakn... Tok Mama has to do the rest.... :-( Lupa pulak... toilet dah siap, so, kitaorang kira merasmikan toilet baru mama la ni....

We depart back to Putra Height after maghrib and sampai around 10.30pm....

So close but so far away

So Close, but So Far Away..... that's what i feel right now.....

baru habis cuci bulu mata Aisha.... dia guna gam untuk bulu mata palsu buat mascara.... habih hitam satu mata.... terkejut + panic sampai lupa nak ambik photo.... nasib baik dapat idea guna baby oil nak buangkan... kalu tak harus dah di gunting bulu mata dia.... macam-macam perangai ank2 ni kan... pantang diorang duduk diam-diam, mesti ada cerita diorang buat....

Shopping

Peninsula Plaza Spore

Bugis Junction Mall

Mustaffa Centre - the oldest shopping mall in Spore

apa yang best sangat dengan shopping ni.... ntahla tapi memang best... the best therapy... bukan proses membelinya yang menjadikan shopping ni sebagai terapi, tetapi proses melihat barang, memilih dan membuat keputusan untuk membeli atau tidak itu yang menjadi terapi... kita boleh lupa masalah lain bila kita nampak barang yang disukai, kemudian berfikir pula untuk memilih dan seterusnya fikiran dan minda digunakan untuk membuat keputusan...

itu sebabnya intan suka nak ber shopping.... tambah pulak kalau dapat pergi jalan-jalan tempat orang... itu dah bonus namanya....

apa-apa pun harap semua orang boleh enjoy bershopping!!!! Next target untuk bershopping Ho Chin Minh, Vietnam.

Batik

berkain batik... hari ni sungguh mengejutkan sebab both of my girls berkain batik.... umminya sendiri pun tidak berkain batik di rumah.... tapi mereka kelihatan sungguh selesa berkemban batik di hari yang panas ini..... bak kat orang penang... 'tang ke dada'...

sungguh comel...

Balik Kampung

tengah dok berpeluh menggiling inai

pokok durian kat kebun Abah.

koewteow hailam kedai Tok Wan... sedap...

Happy dapat makan dalam jamban

anak burung tengah belajar terbang...

Seminggu di Muar... huh! puas hati. Budak-budak pun happy, yang penting Mama & Abah pun happy sebab cucu balik meramaikan suasana. Masa bejalan pantas, 9 hari di Muar tak terasa....

Seronok sebab dapat bawak Mama & Abah gi ronda-ronda and gi makan-makan.

Dapat jugak bawak the girls lepak kat kebun. Berpeluh-peluh diorang... tak apa, janji seronok... macam-mcam 'first time' diorang jumpa kat situ... first time petik buah ciku and buah limau...

Paling best dapat gi breakfast sate perut n mee rebus.... peerrghhh!!!! 2 kali pulak tu!!!! sedap gile... first time pergi Girl makan sate saja... 16 cucuk dia pulun sorang, boleh tahan jugak anak dara ni makan sate. Second time pergi baru la dia nak perasan ke makanan lain, order roti bakar 2 set, habis kat dia sorang saja.... intan dapat la merasa setengah keping...

Tak lupa jugak, bawak the girls ngan Mama gi makan kedai Tok Wan... dah 11 tahun tak gi makan kat sana... the food still macam dulu... Koewteow hailam dia the best, chicken chop ada sunny side-up... nyum!nyum! Kat sini makan dalam 'Jamban'.... in term yang digunakan oleh Abang An..hehehehe....

Hari Rabu bawak the girls pergi tengok Pasa Lambak... terkejut diorang sebab pasar lambak tu macam pasar malam.... sebenarnya memang pasar malam pun, cuma orang Muar panggil pasar Lambak...

Girl dapat experienced baru, giling inai... baru dia tahu betapa penatnya nak menggiling.... sekarang semua masuk blender, tekan satu butang dah siap....

Tiga hari tiga malam kitaorang kena duduk berkampung kat porch depan rumah, sebabnya orang pecahkan toilet belakang... kitaorang share adik-beradik betulkan toilet rumah Mama & Abah yang dah menjangkau 30 tahun tu... So, disebabkan habuknya yang tak terhingga, terpaksalah makan kat depan rumah.... Pak Mat datang rumah pun tak ajak masuk dalam, layan kat porch tu sajalah...

Minggu tu jugak dapat berita yang nak dapat Uncle Baru... Selamat Pengantin Baru untuk Mak Uda n Cikgu Husin..... Moga berbahagia selalu.... uncle baru ni dulu cikgu tuition Ayang, Intan & Boy, sekarang jadi Uncle.... hehehehe... tu lah kita tak tahu apa nak jadi di masa hadapan kan....

Walaupun seronok dan enjoy balik Muar, tapi tak syok sebab rindu kat Nana..... semiggu tak jumpa, resah dan gelisah.... kesimpulannya memang tak boleh jauh-jauh dengan Nana....

Cemburu

Kenapa ada CEMBURU? Sebab adanya CINTA, KASIH dan SAYANG di dalam hati.
Apa perlunya CEMBURU? Nthalah.... perlukan cemburu ada dalam hati?
Biar saja CEMBURU, jangan sampai DENGKI...

Penantian

Penantian memang satu penyeksaan... semalam terseksa menuggu Nana balik dari Singapore... dah la telefon berkali-kali tak angkat, , lagi la meyesakkan dada.... malam ni resah lagi menuggu Nana balik dari office.... lambat katanya... tapi hati tetap resah....

Kesunyian....

Tiba-tiba rasa kesunyian hari ni???? pasal apa?? mungkin pasal Nana upset n rasa bersalah.... tu la, buat benda ikut perasaan aje, tak pikir dah yang lain-lain. Tapi nak buat macam mana, hati meronta nak pergi jalan-jalan tengok tempat orang... asyik dok tengok gambar kat FB orang jer kan... ingatkan dah ada peluang boleh la menumpang... rupanya orang yang nak ditumpang tak suka dan tak gembira... jadi, hati, macam manala nak bergembira kalau fikiran tidak tenang? Ntahla... buat-buat happy aje la kot....

Ni la yang orang tua-tua dok kata ni... terlajak perahu boleh di undur... terlajak perbuatan, tanggung je la sendiri.... nasib la badan. Macam mana nak buat lagi, betul tak?

Hari kat luar semakin gelap... hari dah nak malam, guruh pulak berbunyi-bunyi... harap=harap hujan la malam ni.... tenang sikit kot rasa di hati... masih setia menuggu Nana pulang dengan hati yang berdebar-debar.... ya la... orang buat salahkan, macam tula rasa dia....

Hari ni buat kerja gila gi ambik gambar delima yang baru berputik kat tengah-tengah panas buta.... mungkin orang ingat dah gila.. tapi dah angin nak amabik gambar tetiba je datang jam tu... belasah sajalah.... ni la hasil gambar delima tu... mungkin boleh merawat hati yang lara.....

Birthday

Happy birthday Aisha!!!!! Today my baby turned 6... time flies. Aisha is a simple girl... she ask for lunch at Nasi Kandar for her birthday, as she wants to eat Chicken Kurma n Nasi..... so sweet. No cakes and party... so, off we go to Shah Alam to pick up Mangah and we had our birthday lunch at Barra Nasi Kandar @ seksyen 7. Nice place and food. Lupa nak ambik gambar la pulak, sebab tengah lapar sangat and nak memujuk Girl yang merajuk sebab Aisha tak nak lunch kat Kenny Rogers or Subway.

After lunch, hantar Mangah balik and off we go to Mydin to do grocerries... Girl dah tak merajuk dah sebab dah dapat her favourite choclate and air Yess... on the way nak balik singgah kat kiosk yang jual kasut Crocs. Adik merajuk sebab tak belikan satu kat dia... she wanted the same shoes as Girl n color purple as she claimed that she loves purple now other than blue.

Now close to 10pm, the girls dah sleepy and about to call off the day... so, do I.... So, today we had a very simple Birthday for Aisha... Happy Birthday Adik!!!! Ummi n Atta loves you very much!

Singapore

Hari ni intan beli tiket to Singapore untuk intan n The Girls. Nana gi dulu 1 day earlier... pasal nak gi singapore ni pun intan dah merajuk-merajuk and buat perangai kat nana.... kesian nana... susah hati dia... tapi intan tak tau pasai apa intan tergedik-gedik sangat nak pergi singapore this time... maybe sebab dah lama nana tak travel n tiba-tiba nana nak tinggal kitaorang seminggu... jadi intan dah rasa tak keruan sebab miss kat nana so, intan decide nak ikut... nasib baik ada AirAsia, boleh beli tiket RM500 untuk 3 orang to Singapore... kalau tak memang intan tak boleh pergi punyala.... yela tiket mahal kalau naik MAS... memang membazir saja...

ni tegah dok sibuk tengok Universal Studio untuk girl. tak sure pulak dak bukak belum... rasa belum grand opening lagi... ntahla.... kesian Girl, sanggup simpan duit sekolah sebab nak pergi Universal Studio, nak beli bag MorGirl pun dia postponed dulu... kalau Universal Studio tak bukak lagi mesti dia terkilan nak tengok Far Far Away.... tapi nak buat macam mana.. hari ni satu hari website Resort World down.... nape ntah... susah hati jugak ni.. kalau tak ada kena pergi Singapore Zoo sajalah dulu n ronda2 kat Resort World Sentosa....

Kali ni pergi intan nak jalan-jalan puas-puas.. dulu pergi bulan puasa, memang tak puas makan and jalan-jalan... mungkin tu la antara sebabnya intan nak pergi lagi ke Singapura kot....

Hari Selasa

Hari ni mengantuk sungguh.... tido lambat n bagun awal masak nasi goreng untuk bekal budak-budak... letih, tapi tak kesah janji the girls happy and tak lapar.

Sekarang ada ahli baru dalam family, bukan satu tapi dua sekali datang... itulah Farah n Iman the tortoise... tima kasih Tok Bapak sebab bagi Farah n Iman and make the girls seronok... nanti post kan gambar Farah n Iman dalam FB.

Sekarang ni mengantuk gile... tapi tengah dok tunggu nak chat dengan kawan... jap lagi kalau tak ada jugak nak lelap sekejap la... the girls tengah dok tengok Hitz TV, lagu favorite diorang tengah on air... Black Eye Pea - Meet Me Half Way. Aisha can sing this song fluently... budak-budak ni nak buat homework liat.. tapi kalau nak layan Youtube, laju jer.... dunia zaman sekarang...

Talking about dunia zaman sekarang ni, macam-macam jadi.... pening lalat memikirkannya... huh, memang betul la kiamat makin dekat.

Tiba-tiba teringat kat Nana pulak... i miss him soooo much... tak apalah, jap lagi Nana balik la tu... wanna hug n kiss him puas-puas...

Ni gambar buah delima ambik kat rumah Abah Penang hari tu...

Today was really sleepy... tried to sleep again in the morning but couldn't. Tapi tadi take a nap sekejap and feel refresh. Waiting for the time to send the girls to Quran classes.

Today's lunch for the kids - nasi putih with sayur buncis , sotong goreng kunyit and telur rebus... wallah... bon appetite.

New Year 2010

Hari ni dah 5 hari untuk tahun 2010. Macam biasa, dah start sibuk dengan budak-budak sekolah.... tadi tunggu kat sekolah Girl nak beli buku for 1.5 hrs, last-last buku tak ada stock, kena pergi pulak tengahari ni... masalah betul...

Time really flies...
