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...

Just write...

Someone told me that I need to just write. My feelings, my experience, my travel, anything... Just write them down... Make a schedule and find a time. Don't be too critical on yourself or you won't even start... That would be almost the same message that I've given to my students. but I suppose for a different purpose. To my students I ask them to read and write a lot. Just practice writing as much as you can. You may start shaky and you'll be rereading and rewriting what you've written, but practice makes perfect. writing helps you clear your mind. Writing sharpens your delivery skills for your assignments... Anyway, I hope this is a start. the beginning of a scheduled blog post. I hope I can share a lot with people (well not really).. But I guess what's important is that I'm sharing... perhaps in the future, if there are things that I've forgotten I may be able to look back into my notes and perhaps there's life events that I would cherished in...

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 / ...

Write all the recipe for me...

As always, we had a chat on the way back from school. The girls were hungry and asked what's for lunch. Well, since mummy was at home in the morning I've prepared a simple lunch for us. Masak tempoyak Ikan (fish in fermented durian gravy) and  kacang botor goreng (fried winged beans) for mummy and daddy, fried chicken, fried fish and chicken soup for the kids. "Wow! So delicious mummy..." Mentioned Athiya. Then my little darling Alana said, "all mummy's cooking are delicious. When I grow up can you write all the recipe for me so I can cook delicious food like you?" Well my dear, you just know how to please me...as always. Insya Allah, when the time comes I'll teach you all that I know. I might not have the orange and torn recipe book like your late grandmother, but I'll make sure I jot down all the recipe that I know and especially those that you enjoy eating here in my blog. For you guys to see and maybe to refer to when I'm gone. InsyaAllah...
