Hari Raya 2008...



We went back to Semenanjung this year... as mentioned before we spent most time on the road... Initally we didn't want to go back. But suddenly my hubby had a soft heart and he said both our mothers cried last year because we didn't go back so he didn't want them to cry again this year... I suppose it is a valid reason to go back. Or on the other hand, maybe it was my hubby who's going to cry?...









Anyway, we did flew back to Semenanjung. We did go to both our parents' houses even though we only spent less than 2 days per house to celebrate Raya. Yet we enjoyed this year round more than ever. Why? Because we met the new members of both families... on my hubby's side there's Sohail Naveeed AKA Deepy... his brother's 5 month old son. With his cheeky smile this boy has always have things going on in his mind. When there's only a few of us at home he is so cute and nice. He would stay in his bed and play on his own.... But when there's so many people around him he will beg from one person to another to hold him. He even forced me to hold him the whole time until he slept in my arms... Well, deepy enjoy yourself while you can. Once I'm with my own baby, you'll be the big brother and you'll have to take care of your cousin...


Then in KL for the first time we meet my brother little princess... Emira Rania... though we only met her for a while (thanks to my brother and his wife who spent hours to wake up in the morning and get to my mother's house) we can feel that she's bonding with her uncle and aunty... You cute little princess I hope you get well soon (she had a flue when we met her)...

Not to forget my other niece Sofia Hana... my little brother's daughter... Though we haven't met her in person, we heard her cry a few times before. Such a strong voice you have there little kiddo... with her chubby face, she looks more like my sister when she was little...

Anyway, those are our joy and entertainment during this holiday season. Hope to have longer holidays to spent with these little kids and InsyaAllah next year there'll be a new addition to the bunch and we can't wait for that...

My Sydney (Kingsford)

 My first time boarding a flight is to Sydney Australia. Never in my wildest dream to cross the oceans to live outside Malaysia for one and a half years. But it happened.. It really did happen. I was young then. Just graduated the year before and worked to fund my IELTS examinations and other preparations before flying off to the Wallabies Island. It was quite a terrifying thought as the furthest that I've been on my own was when I took the express bus to Perak to attend an interview. I remembered the day before. We had a small feast at home. Organised and prepared by the villagers. I was considered the first who went abroad at that time and in a way became the pride of the village. It was overwhelming to see how high was people expectation towards myself.  The day we left for Sydney I didn't know what to expect. Being a control freak I've checked out the university's website for more than 10 times. I even printed all the information that I thought may be useful (bus / ...

Our love nest...

We moved in to our houseabout a year ago. It was around two weeks before Raya. At first we thought of making it our holiday home since my husband still had his contract as hostel fellow in UNIMAS. But once we stepped in to the house we know immediately that this is our place. And we decided to move in straight away. There's a story behind the house actually... As other couple plan properly how they will b uy their house and how they are going to finance their house etc., it is a totally different case for me and my husband. It was one morning not long after we got married. It was Saturday and we were driving to a mamak stall for breakfast. Suddenly we saw some signs saying about new housing area called Muara Tuang Park. My hubby suddenly asked me to get the phone number of the company. At breakfast we discussed the possibility of having a house of our own. After breakfast we went straight to the developer's office to check out the price and all... there and then we decided tha...

Makan @ Samarinda

Bismillahhirrahmannirrahim..... Samarinda, part 2. Let us talk about my favourite topic. Food. I dunno why but everytime I write food would be my chosen topic. Anyway... Samarinda like any other place in Indonesia have a lot of dishes that you need to try. Well I didn't try everything but I did sample some of the best dishes there. We started our culinary adventure in a place (some sort of RnR) along the way from Balikpapan to Samarinda. The place is famous with "Tahu Sumedang". What is tahu sumedang? It is actually fried beancurd that you eat with a special sauce and very tiny and very hot chillies. There my hubby ordered his first "sup buntut" or actually oxtail soup with rice. The soup was so nice I feel like asking the chef for the recipe. As for me, I prefer "ikan mas goreng". I dunno what type of fish actually but the fish is being deep fried and added with some shredded coconut, some cucumber, cabbagge and long beans to be eaten with rice and sa...
