Raya 2012

Such a long hiatus, kan? Well, since it's still Syawal, I'd like to wish uols

HAPPY EID MUBARAK!

Really hope you had the best raya celebration ever!

This year, I was so fortunate. It's supposed to be my in-laws' turn but they decided to carry out an open house on the third of Syawal. So my hubby informed that we'd be leaving to PB on the 3rd day ler. We're in SP on the 1st raya AGAIN! Guess what? All my siblings were in SP at the same time. A BIG WOW!

Before that, my house needed some facelift lar. Together, we made sure the lights lit up the last night of Ramadan.

Berseri2, kan? Lots of colours taw! Lip lap lip lap... hehehehe...

BLUE was our theme in 2012. Wanna see some proofs?

Enjoy!

GAMBAR RAYA 2011

Hi uols,

How's your raya celebration this year? Today, my son had an appointment at Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim. So I took a day off to accompany him. But today's entry has nothing to do with his visit, wokey! It's all about raya. I'm sure you have snapped many photos on Hari Raya. Just imagine... I, at first, wasn't in mood of celebrating the day... But thanks to my youngers sisters Yun & Kak Cik (her name is Nooraini but we call her Kak Chik since she's a baby), I was transformed in a split second. Knp? X cayer? Uols tgk ler sendiri.... hehehehe...

On the 1st of Syawal, there're only my family (MCA, my kids & me), Mak, Abah, my younger brothers (Kimi & Fadzli), my younger sis (Kak Chik & Yun) & her son aka my nephew (Ayip). I came quite late (nearly at noon). Sorry yer... Kemaskini rumah sendiri dolu...;)So are u ready to see our lovely... handsome faces?

Let me introduce my happy family..... The Orange Family!MCA wasn't so keen of bright orange so he opted for peach... OK ler tu... suku sakat oren gak.. & my lil gal kebaya... grey & orange.. cotton... her fave kebaya, i think.

Then... tara... d pic of my lil Raina & me.... Cun tak kami berdua? Mcm adik & kakak tak? hehehe...
Here is the photo of Abah & Mak, my 2 younger sisters, me (orange & green tudung) & my lil gal
Next is with my Mak, my 2 younger sis (Yun(left) & Kak Chik (right)), my lil Raina, my 2 sons & my nephew (Ayip-dpn sekali)
There're other photos but I don't have patience to upload all of 'em... so maybe you can see them in FB coz I uploaded most of our raya photos there. My credit to my sisters Yun & Kak Chik who took the initiative to snap or ask someone to snap the photos... & boy, I've to admit, I looked different on that day. Maybe because of my weight loss (another 4.7kg) in Ramadhan or the eyeliner?

Well, once again I'd like to wish uols "HAPPY EID MUBARAK"! May your Hari Raya celebration be blessed with peace, happiness & joy. My apology for any wrongdoings... MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN...

p.s. Still contemplating whether to do an open house or not. What d'ya think?

Cuti2 D Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

Initially, we planned to go to Genting. Hey! D'ya know that I was sent to attend a course called "Kursus Kejurulatihan (or maybe 'kejuruletihan'... hehehe) KRS" at Pusat Kokurikulum Yan (in SMK Yan) & was away for four days & three nights before the school break! (Well, that will be another story ya!) Then, I was informed that that there'd be a change of place. No Genting but it's going to be Bukit Merah! (tak kisah ler.... janji dpt pegi cuti2 lps penat2 berkursus... hehehe...)

We left home after 2pm on Friday. MCA had to meet his friend in Butterworth so we stopped for awhile. It was raining but it couldn't dampen our high spirit lol! Everybody was excited. In the car, the kids were sooo restless.... Once they started fighting, I began to wish the trip should be cancelled... (biar bdk2 tu sedar diri... hehehe...) But of course being so near Bukit Merah made me have a second thought. In the end, they did behave themselves! Legaa....

We reached there at about 4. Our accomodation: Suria Service Apartment! Nice place! No kidding!

Uols tgk ler sendiri anak daraku yg mmg teruja nih .....

After leaving all the luggage in the apartment, we rushed to do some sightseeing or...ehem.. ehem... some shopping.... (yg ni mmg my fave...hikss!!!)

Can u see Ijan who's hoping so much we could jump straight into the pool....

(Siap pakai baju mandi tuh...)

My lil Raina, on the other hand, was waiting patiently for her pink balloon. Luckily, the ever-so-friendly clown had the colour she wanted.... (Siap demand nak butterfly... fuyoo...)

After that, acara makan ler.... starving lol!

Ijan with his ABC....hmmm....

Khairil with his chicken rice & iced tea...

Not many choices though coz it's already late....

Happy... tired faces of my loved ones....
Nak gak posing dgn MCA...
Errr.... beg plastik tu hasil shopping kami.... ahak! ahak!

Then, let Raina & Ijan pose with the giant guitars....

That night, we had dinner at a restaurant near a nurse hostel. After that, we were in our apartment.... watching TV, learning more about the disastrous earthquake which resulted tsunamis in Japan.... It was indeed a devastating news. Hoping so much that things would be fine soon...

The next day, we went to the Orang Utan Island by boat....

Before the trip to the island...In the boat....in life jackets....feeding fish.... (sempat lg tu... hehehe..)posing....glaring because of the hot sun....once on the island, all became black.... hikss!!

I filmed the adventure on the island but of course it's not here coz.....tak larat le nak upload rakaman tu.... sooeeiii.... kalau nk tgk mai rmh kami yek!

Next, on the same boat, we went to Ecopark. A lot of animals to see. My children's fave....is definitely the rabbit family.... tomei!

Tak caya? Berlambak gambar dgn rabbit. These are some of them...We also got the chance to watch the parrot show.... Again, i filmed the show but the quality of the picture wasn't good. Jd simpan buat tatapan sendiri je lah yer... hehehe... jgn mare...

Khairil & the two famous performers.....Mmg best tp sikit penat... sbb kena jln...

At last, we rode on chairlifts to view the area from above.... Seeing people in water.....made us double excited....

These are some of the activities we did...

playing in water.... suddenly, everybody became darker....

mana taknyer... berendam sampai lupa dunia... peace... peace... kacang pis... lepas mandi, mkn ler pulak... lapaq...
Ada adegan terjun2 tp tapi tak pyh ler letak sini.... takut uols tak larat tgk jer sbb pelakon2nyer sama jer.... buat babak terjun kolam jer.... tak kuasa i....

Due to the bad weather (sbb lepas tukar baju jer, ujan lebat pulak).... we rushed back to our car without taking more photos... Bak kata org... mula dgn ujan, abiskn pon dgn ujan jugak... hehehe.... That's the end of our vacation... So abrupt, kan?

p.s. TQVM MCA for sponsoring.... Luv ya... muah...muah... Lain kali sponsor lg yek!

Cikit Citer Cameron

The trip was months ago, sponsored by MCA's company

(ehem.. duit sopping tu sendri sponsor, wokey!)

Lots of photos but only some will be here...

(x larat nk upload le beb... hiks!)

And let me introduce a few of the gang.. looking cheerful & happy!

(pis pis kacang pis.... hehehe...)

Going to the Strawberry Farm is a must!

Hey! Look! Three strawberry kids & their guardian angel.

Soooo comey....

We're at Big red Strawberry Farm!

My lil gal really enjoyed herself!
Then we went farming.... hehehe...
dulu petik anggur, skrg petik strawberi le pulak.
On d way back to our homestay, we went to a park. Wow, gigantic fruits were there!
Rasa mcm nk bawa balik jer tp tak muat keta... huhuhu...
At night we had dinner outside but no photo ler... Bateri kong rasanyer...

The next day, we had a few photo sessions together. This is one of them.

Before we headed home, we went to see butterflies & insects. The kids loved the trip. The adults? Having difficult time catching up with d kids... hahaha!!!

Almaklumle... kureng exercise....

Finally, we're at our final destination before our journey home..

The famous Boh Tea Centre Sungei Palas

(berpeluh jugak nk smpai sbb jem d laluan nk naik... tau2 je la... cuti skola..)

So many things to see, learn, discover & enjoy...

The journey has to end but the photos hold all the stories & memories.

By d way, must go home fast coz too many fruits & vege to be brought home.

(kalau lambat, layu pulak... oh tidakk!!)

p.s. Plan to go again coz... err... tak puas arrr... too short! Bila ye? Tunggu MCA sponsor... ahak..ahak...

Ayaq hangat Ulu Legong!

The journey from Beris Vineyard to Ulu Legong Hot Spring was soooo challenging! It has nothing to do with the roads.... It's my eldest who threw tantrums almost all the time. Eeeeii... geram nye.... kalah adik2. That's why you won't be able to see him in the pics. Too many complaints...grrrr... Too much gibberish... ouch!!! So childish! Bingit! sakit telinga... sakit hati... sakit jiwa. Nasib ada mak mertua. She's the saviour.... layan je si Khairil yg membebel.....

OK..OK... citer hari ni xde kaitan ttg parenting yek... itu masuk chapter lain... so let me carry on.

Maybe you are wondering about:

1. The location?

-alah, kat Baling Kedah je...

2. HOT Springs?

- yelah, memang le hot spring... takkan cold spring lak

3. How far?

- kalau dok Kedah tak le jauh pon tp sapa2 dok Johor tu.. bawa2 bersabar ye..

4. Transport?

- naik keta blh, naik motor blh, naik gerek (baskat/basikal) pon blh. Nk guna kaki je pon no hal.. tp AWAS! jgn guna kapal terbang ye sbb xde tpt nk landing!

5. Shops?

- ader tp jgn mengada nk carik KFC, MacD atau Pizza Hut lak..

6. Accommodation?

-jgn risau... chalet ada, tapak berkhemah pon ada

7. Public amenities?

-Ada... Ada... Ada...

At first everyone didn't feel like getting wet but the water was very inviting. As usual posing is Raina's middle name! (ala2 super model cilik gitu!)

cheerful faces... my daughter, son, niece & sis-in-law...

mukaku? di sebalik kamera..hahaha...

dpt mandi..... mmg yabedabeduuu

My Cik Abe (MCA) couldn't say "NO" too. (setakat basah kaki je la ye...) Me? Low profile je.... I kan pemalu.... Takkan nak tayang betis gebu mulus ku itu... oh! nahi nahi... Jeres MCA tau... The truth is it's my second time there. The first time was more exciting! Kalau nk tau baca je my notes in FB. Males nk citer byk kali...

So allow me to be sincere... This advice is from the bottom of my heart...cewah..

BAWALAH FAMILI MERASAI NIKMAT AIR HANGAT!

TAPI... kalau takde masa... jerang je air sampai mendidih.... tuang dlm besen... campur sikit air sejuk... siapkn kaki... rendam dlm air tu... fuh! sejibik macam rendam kaki dlm hot spring.. hik..hik..hik...
