Lamanyer tak update fotopages ni...dah bersarang sesgt

- Alhamdulillah adik baby's growing fine...gender still unknown, look fwd for the next detailed scan check up scheduled next week, hopefully by then we'll be able to determine its gender, senang nak shopping Like my first one, it's considered a smooth-sailing pregnancy journey, no nausea and whatnots, just the normal backache and cramps occasionally.
- Idlan is ok in and out...school-wise he's quite a fast learner according to his teacher, syukur for that.
Now he likes to be addressed as 'abang'....early practice huh? hehe. We know he loves his adik so much, keep saying perut mama bulat macam belon, nanti pecah kuar adik He's been playing alone for quite some time, pity him for that...especially during night time when both of us are bz with our own works
- Good news, my mba is nearing towards the end...2 modules currently ongoing with final xm scheduled on end May, and that leaves me only ONE subject to go...by end July i'll be all free!-
- Abah is now officially a public bank's UTC...so those who interested to diversify their financial portfolios, wants to invest for future retirement plan, education, etc..can always contact us for details!
- last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAYANG....and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all dearest moms out there! May God bless us amin....
- Ops another thing, do visit my online store http://nisastore.blogspot.com to shop for muslimah's t-shirts, tudung, kain, etc....see u there!

A trip to Aquaria KLCC with my MIL, BIL, sis, and idlan's cousins, Aiman n Haikal.
The three of them are like brothers, kamceng habis. We had fun watching the giant sharks, stingrays, turtles, ikan kerapu..got chance to hold the starfish patrick, some fish, etc. The place is so natural and relaxed, fully embellished with natural floras. There is one moving tunnel where the fish are swimming above our head, and i can see clearly the stingrays' tiny eyes and mouth. Tix are priced are RM28 (adults) and 22 (kids)...quite expensive isnt it, guess it was going to be our first and the last trip la kot hoho

Our last cuti-cuti Malaysia for year 2007 brings us to Melaka, a short yet memorable trip for our lil family. Followed hubby to his 2nd conference talk, hence considered an unofficial trip for me n idlan

Sekitar majlis house warming+ besday idlan..tapi x byk gambar yg sempat diambil....bz like bee sepanjang hari tuh hoho (gambar kitorang pon tader? sedeyyyyyyyy)

Terima kasih bebyk kepada semua yg hadir....insya allah panjang umur murah rezeki taun depan kita bergather-gather lagi ok

Pictures for our Bandung trip...for elaboration tgkla blog je ok
tak byk amik gambar this time...malas dan kepenatan kots hoho

Booked the tickets since early of the year during AA's promotion, supposed to go in 5 but ended up only the 3 of us yg pegi since mak dan ayah kurang sihat. Hotel booking done last minute, a week before raya kot...and it turned out all the famous/in town hotels were fully booked even tho i've confirmed there are no festivals/special holidays in sarawak during that period. Padanla muka kitorang...so we stayed in Kingwood Inn, lucky there's still room available...deluxe pulak tuh..tak pasal2 bayar mahal Mujur hotel ok and comfy

Day 1:
Flight delay about 2 hours..mujur idlan tak buat perangai so takpela lepak2 kat LCCT tuh. Touched down at kuching around 1215 noon, straight away went to hotel to check in. After solat and rest2 kejap, terus call cab pegi Open Air market utk lunch. Initial intention was to find mee kolok, their special local delicacy acoording to the forumers. Tapi takde, so mknla mee goreng je? hehe Then pegi Main Bazaar opposite Waterfront...did our first shopping until late evening. Penat dah jln dan usung barang, terus call cab, balik hotel. Konon dinner nak gi seberang sungai ke Kampung Boyan utk mkn mee kolok, tapi Idlan dah tertido kepenatan...so call Mc D delivery jer...sungguhla tak best

Day 2:
After having our buffet breakfast, went to waterfront again, took bot penambang to cross the river over to Kampung Boyan. Our target is kek lapis Dayang Salhah (recommended by the forumers as well!) Actually dekat main bazaar pon byk kek lapis tapi saje nak tgk tpt kak dayang tuh hehe...best naik bot, tapi time meniti jeti tu idlan cuak giler...terpaksa dukung dia! Fare is 0.50...tapi sebenarnye 0.30 je..sbb kami org luar kan Sampai kat kg tuh, terpaksa jln kaki agak jauh jugak utk sampai ke kilang a.k.a rumah dayang tuh. Mmg byk giler berjenis2 kek lapis dia jual..tapi kek cadbury idaman ku takde jual huhuh frust giler! Beli 10 jenis kek...yg murah RM10, paling mahal kek Hati Pari RM20. Lepas tu terus naik bot seberang balik...terus balik hotel sbb idlan pon dah letih yg amat..mama ngan abah pon penat jln and usung kek..berat woo

Kat hotel, Idlan tido dekat 3 jam..punyela lama...pas dia bgn je terus kami ke Sarawak plaza...lunch kat fudcot dia, then pegi Crown Riverside..saje jejln tgk shopping complex kat kuching. Tapi tade beli pepe pon..KL lagi best kot Sempat amik gambar kat cat statue, sempat masuk Parkson kat bwh Hotel Crown yg mahal tuh, abah beli beg laptop (jauh betul beli kan macam kat kl tader , aku plak beli wallet) Then pegi waterfront lagi skali shopping buat kali ke-2. Pukul 630pm kuching dah gelap..orang tak berapa ramai lagi...tapi kenape hotel penuh eh heran sungguh? Dalam pukul 7pm naik bot lagi skali (kitoarng mmg suke sgt naik bot tuh hehe) utk dinner kat kg Boyan..kali ni hajat tercapai. Dapat mkn mee kolok and laksa sarawak and kepak ayam...wahhh lazat sungguh alhamdulillah. Sempoi je rupanya mee kolok tu tapi sedap...laksa sarawak mmg konfem sedapla my favourite! Lepak lama gak kat gerai tuh sbb idlan tgk movie best kat astro. Lepas tuh naik bot lagi terus la ke seberang, amik cab balik hotel tido.

Day 3:
Kali ni tade gi memana, tunggu kawan sekolah aku Sal amik kitorang utk gi melawat umah dia. Sal bwk kitorang round2 bandar kuching (sesat sket2 hehe x expert lagi ko sal ), sumer tgk dari dlm keta je. Sal suruh kitorang gi muzium, tapi biasala kitorang tak minat sejarah Cultural village pon kitorang malas gi...teruk kah kami? hehe Then gi supermarket beli brg sket, and aku berjaya membeli 4 paste laksa sarawak nyum nyummm....Tini nanti aku msk sendiri laksa jgn jeles
Lunch kat umah Sal, mkn nasi ayam...pandai ko masak Sal! Pastuh potong2 kek besday..besday Sal 3 Nov tuh...mmg aku igt sgt..sbb selang 2 hari ngan besday abang aku. Dapatla jumpa Adam ngan Mia....even tho adam agak otai sket, idlan still teringat dia tau Sal..siap tanye mane abang Adam? Lepas mkn kek konon nak gi Damai tgk laut...tapi tak sempat..hari pon panas terik, so terus gi pasar satok, round dlm 10 minit je kot...barang2 basically sama je ngan kat waterfront. Then off to airport...flight pukul 535pm....slamat sampai ke umah dlm kol 9 lebey..alhamdulillah.
To Sal, thanx eh bwk kitorang jejln, treat lunch ngan offer umah ko utk rehat2...cun umah ko

Overall, Kuching is nice, clean, and safe...agak sunyi and tak sibuk cam KL. Orang2 nye pon ok cuma kurang peramah kot compared to sabahians....tapi okla. Shopping agak best...lebey kurang macam kat sabah rasanya. Kitorang spent dlm RM1400++ kot campur hotel, foods, everything....tadela byk sgt...simpan duit utk next trip hehehe.

Sape nak gi sarawak? hm sila lah pegi..at least once in a lifetime merasa tgk negeri org ok!

Kek lapis favourite ku - sisik ikan dan masam manis...ingat tau nnt leh beli kalau pegi

Idlan mmg baik habis sepanjang trip kali ni..kurang dukung, byk jln sendiri okla tadela mama dia penat. Dlm flight tak tido langsung..kecoh je bercakap itu ini...behave je dia sayangggg idlan!
Next 2 week kite naik aeroplane lagi ok!

The not so good thing of having group discussion in KL - traffic jam after office hour!
The good side of it- have it done in Mid Valley

Knowing the nature of woman, it is somehow kind of difficult to resist temptation not to go and have a look at what the shops are offering inside..especially if there was a big banner or tag showing SALE!

So these are things i've managed to grab, before and after our discussion (note: we even went inside HN when the clock shows 1015pm and the main entrance already half-way closed. But the kind pak guard waved and welcomed us wholeheartedly....takkan nak tolak kan? keh kehh

The shopping spree continues during merdeka day at ikea...our main aim is to search for my besday pressie...and since i dont know what to asked for, we ended up buying vases, pokoks and flowers for our emptry racks

It's been a long time since i last used the oven. Due to some hiccups here n there, in life, study and work department...the oven stands still untouched, until this week when i did some spring clean in the kitchen cabinet and found many packets of muffin flour, sugar, and what nots...nearing their expiry dates

The ingredients are there, oven still ok, mixer pon ok, so let's not wait!

11th August marked the day Abah went up to the stage for the second time to receive his scroll. This time it was for his master of Philosophy, in three years time it will be ape abah? hehehe

Congrats abah, we all are proud of you! Despite the bitterness and hardship you went thru, you've made it. And it proves that mama's nagging and lecturing all this while are worth received isnt it

Hope this will provide another set of encouragement for you to move further and higher in future. Insya Allah the two of us will always be your loyal supporter, thru sweet and hard times...
