A Journey To Remember

Setelah sekian lama menyepi...

2009-03-20T16:17:00.007+01:00

Urm... Lamanya aku tak menulis blog sampaikan aku sendiri hilang idea untuk memulakan penulisan ni. Thanx to my dear hubby yang kdgkala mencuri masa untuk meng'update' blog ni agar tak berkubur mcm tuh saja. Maafkan aku sekiranya ayat aku memboringkan sbb aku masih dalam proses nak polish skill menulis yg tak seberapa ni.

Yeah..buat pengetahuan rakan2 yg membaca, aku kini berada di perantauan sekali lagi. Yup.. sekali lagi!! Menemani suami tercinta meneruskan perjuangannya dan Insya Allah aku dan anak2 akan sentiasa menemaninya waktu suka dan duka. Erm.. anak2?? Alhamdulillah, syukur di atas rezeki yang Allah limpahkan ke atas kami sekeluarga. Berada di jauh perantauan sememangnya memerlukan pengorbanan dan kesabaran yang tinggi, kadangkala pahit untuk ditelan tetapi manis bila dikenang. Kami sekeluarga tiba di bumi UK pada 28 Januari yang lepas, setelah 3 minggu menumpang di rumah Wawa & Din (kwn semasa di KUKUM) kami kini menyewa di kawasan yang berhampiran dengan Univ Surrey. Thanx a lot Din & Wawa, jasa korang mmg x mampu kami balas. Moga Allah limpahkan rezeki dan membalas semua jasa korang. Berbeza keadaanya ketika kami tiba di bumi Perancis 2 thn lepas apabila semua kemudahan disediakan, di sini kami terpaksa melalui kesukaran mencari rumah sewa yg memerlukan rakyat tempatan menjadi 'finnacial guarantor'. Alhamdulillah segalanya kini sudah selesai dan kami dalam proses menyesuaikan diri di tempat dan suasana yg baru.

Okayla, ckpla sekadar ini sahaja yg dpt aku coretkan sbg permulaan setelah sekian lama menyepi.

Just wanna share a very meaningful quote:

Aku minta pada Tuhan setangkai bunga segar, Dia beri aku kaktus berduri. Aku minta kupu-kupu, diberi ulat beluncas. Aku sedih dan kecewa. Namun kemudian kaktus itu bebunga indah skali dan beluncas itu bertukar menjadi kupu-kupu yang cantik. Itulah jalan Tuhan, indah pada masa di tetapkannya. Tuhan tidak sering memberi apa yang diharap, tetapi sering diberi apa yang kita perlukan. Kadang kala kita rasa sedih, kecewa dan terluka. Tetapi jauh diatas sana Dia mengatur yang terbaik untuk kita.

New Phase

2008-12-12T03:34:00.008+01:00

Alhamdulillah, another year has passed by and I've turned another year older. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. How time flies?? Stepping into my 2oth, 9th years ago really gave me chills. At that time, I could portray my self as naive in every possible way, gullible and childish. I'm not denying I was just a young teenage guy at that time, still finding the directions in life. I'm not saying I've changed a lot now, I'm still the same old person. Many things have happened for the past 9th years and it taught a lot. So far, I'm pretty much comfortable with the way I'm navigating my ship and as the captain I wanted to reach my destination as safe as possible. Pondering the fact, I've just got to be ready to face the storms; challenges ahead.

The fact, at 29th years old, I still feel my bottle of wisdom is just less that a quarter full but growing teaches you to be a better than everything you've been before. Experience you've gained will be your guide to cross the mysterious path lies upon you, falling hard on the ground will be part of it; that's what we called learning journey.

Besides that, realizing I've so many good people surrounds me (my wife, my son and my beloved family and friends), I feel so lucky to be part in everyone's life. Even I might not play a huge role that would be significant but the thought of my presence is recognized, I feel appreciated enough. We gotta learn how to accept even the smallest tiny little sugar, it's still sweet ain't it?

At last, I'm so happy to enter another phase of my life yesterday. Thank you for the overwhelming wishes. Thanks coz still remember my birthday. Tapi takkan wish je kut, mana hadiahnya?? Haha, just kidding. Thank you... thank you... and thank you so much!!

I'm back!

Dah lama rasanya aku tak update blog ni. Sejak2 berlepas dr Toulouse ke Malaysia, lebih kurang 2 bln lebih rasanya. Alhamdulillah hidup kami sekeluarga semakin tenang di samping keluarga tercinta. Actually mmglaa busy melampau tahap gaban biler balik sini sampaikan takde masa nk jengah blog aku ni. Cuma sesekali hubby tercinta rajin nk update supaya takdela berkubur begitu saja blog ni. Tapi sebenarnya jauh di sudut hati kecil nurani ni terselit rasa terkilan dan sebak teramat sgt dek dugaan yg menimpa kami sekeluarga seblm dan sesudah kami pulang ke Malaysia membuatkan aku bertambah malas nak menjengah blog ni. Alhamdulillah Allah kurniakan kami kekuatan dan ketabahan hati menelan segala pahit dan caci maki fitnah insan yg pernah bergelar sahabat suatu masa dahulu. (sampai kini kami masih menganggap mereka sahabat dan sesekali kami tidak akan membuang mereka kerana “sesungguhnya tidak akan bau syurga kepada manusia yg memutuskan silaturrahim.. nauzubillah”.) Biarlah org memandang hina dan jijik pada kami dek mulut manusia yg tidak bertanggungjawap, namun jauh di sudut hati kami hanya Allah yg Maha Mengetahui segalanya. Memang pahit untuk di kenang tapi itulah reality hidup yg banyak mengajar kami erti sahabat dan membuatkan kami lebih berhati-hati dalam mengharungi hidup. Mungkin benar ada salahnya di pihak kami tp apakan daya jika manusia tidak dpt memaafkan sesama manusia, ego dan pangkat mengatasi segalanya. Kami redha.. Hanya padaMu kami serahkan segalanya. Semoga mereka diberkati hidupnya dan beroleh kecemerlangan sentiasa.

Apa pun jua yg berlaku, hidup mesti diteruskan. Hidup manusia bukan kerna pujian, mati manusia jugak bukan kerna dek cacian. Alhamdulillah kami bersyukur kerana sentiasa dikurniakan kekuatan dan ketabahan, semoga kami sentiasa dikurniakan taufik dan hidayahNya.

Sejak pulang dr Toulouse, banyak perkara yg berlaku cuma aku tak sempat nk berkongsi di sini selalu. Alhamdulillah kami sempat beraya di Malaysia seperti yg kami harapkan. Memang tak dpt dilupakan saat keluarga kami memeluk Farrel buat kali pertama di airport. Macam jejak kasih lak. Farrel plak seolah2 faham dan mudah mesra dgn semua ahli keluarga kami. Alhamdulillah sejak pulang ke sini, Farrel tak banyak masalah nk menyesuaikan diri dgn keadaan di Malaysia. Malah aku dpt rasakan dia lebih gembira di sini kerana sentiasa dikelilingi ramai org yg sayangkannya. Tidurnya lebih teratur berbanding di Toulouse dulu. Alhamdulillah, di usia 9 bln ini dia dah mula berdiri tanpa memegang apa-apa dan sedang bertatih disamping sudah pandai berjoget(pantang dgr muzik/iklan tv). Harap dia cepat berjalan kelak. Farrel pun dah pandai “Bubbye” sekrg, mulut pun tak reti duk diam. Ada jer benda yg dingomel dan suka mengajuk ckp org. Tangga di rumah kami pun dah dipanjatnya sampai ke atas, cuma bila nak turun dia agak gayat. Makin lasak hero aku seorg ni. Cuma giginya jer belum tumbuh2 lagi, mungkin ada benarnya org tua2 kata kalau gigi lambat tumbuh selalunya baby blh berjalan dulu. Takpela sekrg2nya giginya tak cepat rosak.

Kakak aku pun dah selamat melahirkan baby boy yg ke 2 Oktober lepas. Ahmad Farish Iman. Semoga Farish menjadi anak yg soleh. Ayahku sengaja mencadangkan nama Farish, sbb hampir2 sama dgn Farrel. Kdg2 kelakar jugak aku tgk Farrel yg agak cemburu bila aku memangku Farish. Adik lelaki bongsuku juga sudah selamat menamatkan zaman bujangnya dgn gadis pilihannya Farawahida. Semoga hubungan mereka berkekalan ke akhir hayat. Alhamdulillah kenduri mereka sgtla meriah sehinggakan semua makanan habis dan kunjungan tetamu yg tak putus2 sampai la ke ptg. Mujurla door gift yg disediakan cukup untuk para tetamu yg tak dijangkakan seramai itu. Huhu.. ponat makcik..

Terima kasih juga buat rakan2ku yg hadir ke majlis rumah terbuka kami yg sebenarnya dah abis syawal waktu tuh. Huhu.. apa2 pun sekurang2nya terubat juga rinduku pada rakan2 yg dh lama tak bertemu. Pada rakan-rakan yg menjemput kami ke rumah terbuka juga kami ucapkan ribuan terima kasih. Tahniah juga buat bestfriend aku yang dah bergelar Puan Hasliza. Semoga hubungan mereka berkekalan dan diredhaiNya.

Apa lagi yek.. Owh yea.. Syukur juga ke hadrat Ilahi kerana aku berjaya lulus dgn band 6.5 dlm test IELTS baru2 ni. Huhu.. target band 7 tp band 6.5 jer yg termampu. Kantoi sbb aku lost idea masa speaking test, tak sangka dpt tajuk sport yg mmg langsung bukan tajuk pilihan ku. Urusan ke UK juga memerlukan hubbyku bekerja keras mengisi segala macam borang dan kini kami sedang menunggu approval ATAS untuk membolehkan kami membuat Visa. Sedih bila memikirkan masa yg tinggal beberapa hari lagi bersama keluarga sebelum kami berangkat ke UK kelak. Semoga semuanya berjalan lancar dan dipermudahkanNya.

Wah.. tak sangka pulak panjang update aku kali ni. Apa-apa pun aku ucapkan terima kasih kepada rakan2 bloggers yg sentiasa memberi sokongan. Insya Allah aku akan sentiasa update dr semasa ke semasa.

Long Hiatus

2008-10-30T01:58:00.002+01:00

We don't know when will we be back again. Kinda busy this time because we need to put the things in order since we just have 2 months to go before we will off to UK. Argh time is really flies so fast. We are really hope that the clock will stop for a while so that we still have a time to spend with our family here. Huhu. And at the same time we'll also missing blogging for more and wish we could be back soon!!! Thanks to those who support this blog.

Love you all and bye for now...

Good Bye Toulouse

2008-09-26T19:21:00.001+02:00

The clock is ticking, time to say good bye to Toulouse, France. Tomorrow we will fly back to Malaysia. Hopefully we have a safe and sound journey. A lot of experience we gained here and a lot of happiness and sadness we passed through as well. First time we stepped foot here was 15 months ago where everything seems so new to us, being in foreign land which little people can understand your language. Looking at people at that time was likes hearing they said “Welcome to new life, new world!!” Lucky my hubby was under FASIA scholarship so that everything was arranged by the organization included the hospitality, opening bank account, Resident Card application and many more. At least we are not in chaos, while we were slowly try to adapt living in foreign country, new environment and new climate. But actually it was a meaningful experience, a blessing in disguise.

Today is our last day in Toulouse. Nothing interesting, just have a good rest to gain energy for tomorrow journey which certainly provide us challenges as we have to transit at Amsterdam and KLIA before we arrive in our last destination, Penang. With 4 big luggage need to check in and 4 hand’s luggage to carry, we hope we won’t face many difficulties.

Here, we would like to thank to all our friends here (Khairul’s family, Iqmal’s family, Khairil’s family, Azammi, Nazri, Hasrul, Izzati, Dayah, As, Kak Ya’s family, Kak Nisa’s family, Ila, Haris, Guna, Mus …..) without your help, we were not able to survive here. We pray to God for your healthy and good future, Insya Allah. Merci Beaucoup to IAS staff, Anne Marie, Amanda, Velerie, Didier, Marc, Michel and others for the guidance and help. And big thank you also to my French classmates, Lea, Angeline, Paula, Aline and my best language teacher I ever had, Dorothee who always support me and of course teach me French Language which always be my favourite language ever though I’m not good enough in French. Huhu..

Here we do learn a lot throughout. About life, about friend, about food, about language and arghhh… a lot!!!

"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand”.

Salam Aidilfitri & Maaf Zahir Batin

A Journey To Remember

2008-09-22T00:19:00.006+02:00

Our story begin….

Alhamdulillah, he is truely my hero, my destiny, forever my soul mates, my best friend, my every thing.

Azizul's Ramblings

2008-09-21T15:31:00.000+02:00

It's hard to get something you want in life. You have to put so many efforts for it, work, struggle, and maybe you have to sacrifice something that you love. But towards the end you will get it. And it’s the sweetest memory that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Some of us maybe say, it’s easy to talk rather than do it. For me, it’s depends to ourselves. Maybe difficult at start but as time goes by it will begin smoothly as we wish. And it’s also depends how many efforts we put as warm up. Same thing happened to me during the internship period. Frankly to said, I faced so many difficulties at the beginning. Yea, I admit, at first, I didn’t really interested about the title given to me. And I never thought before that I will work on that topic. For me, the topic was nothing to do for my future undertakings. Then my supervisor also one of the factor why I didn’t really at good start, he’s always asked me to do it first. Everything!! From literature review, designing, the programming etc. Argh… it’s so hard. I’m really frustrated, after work with him for about 3 months, he didn’t ever try to give me motivation. Every time I went to see him, he just nagged me all time without any inputs, “it’s not right, you have to design it like this and this”. “Why you put it here?” Bla.. bla.. bla.. And the most terrible was, he didn’t want to check my programming. I did ask him to check several times beforehand, and he refused. When I asked him who is the expert in this programming and he claims that he is the one. It’s really awkward, you claim yourself as an expert but why you never understand my programming? Arghh… sigh… he asked me several times to explain him the programming. I did my job. And what’s your job as supervisor?? Nothing you know. I’m really angry with him. At last before I present my work, he told me that he wanted to use my programming to present it in Hong Kong. And that’s why he really wants to understand about the programming. Even he also asked my presentation. Really unfair for me, I did the job for free without any pay. And you want use my work to others. @*&%$£*!! During presentation he asked me to explain every single thing about the programming. I already know his motive. But it’s ok because there were several people in the room. So I explained him and the juries wisely the programming. He was really satisfied with my clarification. It’s good for me and I really wanted a good marks. Alhamdulillah the viva went well for me. I had several discussions with the juries about the topic and I could see their face really convinced. That’s good. Meaning that, I will graduate soon. I’m really grateful, after working so hard, this is the fruit for me. Alhamdulillah. But I have to bear in mind, I have 3 years more before I will really finish my study. Hoho, a long journey to go. I might succeed today because of several factors. My wife, my son, my family, and also my friends, they always push me to move forward. Without their pray, advise and encouragement maybe I’m not here today. And for the rest who had helped me. You’ll be always in my mind. Thanks so much.

Now, I’m just waiting for my graduation day which will be on 25th September before fly back to Malaysia for Aidilfitri’s celebration. We are really looking forward for the day to come. I wish I could make the time move faster. Unfortunately, I won’t. Just keep ourselves busy packing things etc.

2008-09-18T15:17:00.010+02:00

Last week was my hectic week where so many things to do in so little time. Having my cousin from London gave me time for mind therapy by chit chat most of the time with her for what had happen in our family lately and gossip bla bla bla… hehe.. kind of therapy..huh? She was back to London last Thursday and hopefully we’ll meet again end of this year in London Insya Allah. Good to see Farrel was so easy to get along with new people.

Recently, I did receive an email from new friend asking me tips for travelling with baby. Yeah.. whether flying or driving or going on short or long trip, travelling with baby provides a certain challenge. Unlike in Malaysia, we rarely see new born baby travel for long distance but the scenario is normal in foreign country. First time we travel with Farrel was 30 days after he was born, I still in ‘prohibited period’. Huhu.. We cruised to Paris by TGV (train) which took about 5 hours to the destination. With a strong determination and spirit, my hubby and I took risk brought Farrel to Paris for his passport application. One of the big challenges was when we had to carry Farrel and his stroller scaling up and down metro station stairs. I give 2 out of 5 stars for Paris transportation accommodation where almost all metro station not equipped with lift or escalator and the train itself really horrible. Huh.. thinking of that time drive me to smile wondering where I got the strength to go through all the hardship. Syukur Alhamdulillah... Despite all the difficulty we had in Paris, we still had a spirit for the next trip to Marrakech when Farrel was 2 months old. Stay in Riad (guest house) which essentially prohibited for baby and kid, compelled us to wander around ‘Souk’(famous market in Marrakech) till midnight so that Farrel was already sleep when we back to Riad to avoid him making noise which could disturb other guest. Fortunately the ‘Souk’ was happening till midnight and we most enjoyed that, though it’s so creepy walking down the street on the way back to our Riad. Experience staying in Riad was the best part of this trip where it promises you the real environment of Maroc home-like. However, because of the ambience of Marrakech which dusty and crowded with people compelled us to use sling instead of stroller for Farrel’s safety.

When it comes to family travel, our mantra is: Play it safe! Travelling with baby can be fun with well and proper preparation. Here I would like to share my experience and maybe some tips which are useful when travel with baby.

1) Stroller and sling – find the quality stroller/sling. The best choice is to get a lightweight umbrella stroller which will make easier to carry. Always remember that many destinations aren’t stroller-friendly so sling would be the alternative. For my case when travel to Marrakech, the stroller is more trouble than it’s worth. Still, MacLaren is our choice as it certainly lightweight and comfortable.

2) Diaper Bag –Stock your bag with plenty of diapers, even if you don’t think you will need them all. You never know when your flight might be delayed.Of course versatile wipes is our choice, not only to clean baby bottom but are great for cleaning hands, faces and even blotting stains and spills.Don’t forget to bring the plastic for disposing of dirty diapers or storing wet clothes.

Bring rash cream to avoid diaper rash spoil your trip. Carry a small tube of cream or ointment to baby’s discomfort. Need to prepare extra clothing which useful when accidents happen.

3) Entertainment – Take a rest and entertain your baby when he start get boring by getting him out from stroller for a while and play with him for keeping your little one happy and calm.

4) First Aid Kit – It’s better to ask for doctor’s prescription. Some country (ex Third World Country) requires other vaccination.

5) Foods/Drinks – Feed your baby before get into train or place that inconvenient for breastfeeding. Metro station always be my favourite place to breastfeed my baby. When travelling by air, feed your baby on take-off and landing to ease ear pain. It’s important to drink a lot if you are breastfeeding.

Basically, we have to study our destination before we do the preparation so that everything will be easier for you and your baby. Hurm… Next week we will fly back to Malaysia, can’t imagine 12 hours in flight with our little one Farrel. Hopefully he will stay calm during the time and he wouldn’t throw his tantrum in the flight which will disturb other passengers. Please behave yerr sayanggg…

Welcome to Toulouse

Ramadhan in Toulouse

2008-09-06T11:40:00.008+02:00

Alhamdulillah, this is second time we celebrate month of Ramadhan in Toulouse. We are really grateful to Allah through all HIS gift of healthy to go through this holy month. As the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: “It is Allah’s Own month”. It is the chief of all month and the most glorious one. Definitely, we have to seize the opportunity of this bestowal blessedness month of Ramadhan which is not limited to fasting alone, because the performance of all sorts of worship and good deeds during this month is also a source of great Divine favour.

I still remember last year having a break fast alone as my hubby was in Paris trip for Industrial exposure purpose. It was our first time Ramadhan as husband and wife …huhu.. what a sad moment it was. But the worst was last 2 years when I was in Japan for the reason of work, experience Ramadhan and Syawal alone in office. Huhu.. Flashback that time when my kind-hearted US boss and my project team try to enliven me by treat me a sashimi and sushi in one of well-known restaurant in Tokyo. Yeah.. they might cheer me up a bit, nevertheless myself keep resist, Oh plssss.. I wanted rendang and lemang, not sushi and sashimi. Really wish afterwards, my life’s journey won’t be lonely again. Insya Allah.

Miss u guys..

Derric (my ex-boss), Yar Loon, me, YY, Chek Meng, Boon Weng, Ang, Brian, Boon Aik

My new daily routines for Ramadhan begin as early as 4.30am, preparing food for ‘sahur’. Lucky my junior always wake up around that time for BF so that we don’t have to rely on alarm to awake us. My hubby always let me sleep till 9 am (could be 10 am sometimes, huhu) so that I have enough rest and energy during day time. So for morning shift, my hubby will look after Farrel since he usually wakes up at 7am. Around 5.00pm, I start busy preparing food for break fast which always cracks my head searching recipe especially for desert. In Malaysia for sure I’ll buy from ‘Bazar Ramadhan’ which varieties of ‘kuih muih’ are sold there. My mom always calls them ‘kuih tunjuk-tunjuk’. Heheh.. I really miss this ‘Bazar Ramadhan’ especially in Kamunting where my favourite ‘nasi kerabu’ was selling there. Hope this year we have a chance to visit the ‘Bazar Ramadhan’ again.

This year also give us a chance to have a ‘tadarus’ together which we frustrated for last year because we just reach ‘juzuk 26’ infact of ‘juzuk 30’. So for this year, we need to be more discipline in order to achieve our target to finish till ‘juzuk 30’, Insya Allah. As we know that the revelation of the Holy Quran commenced during this very month and it is therefore the duty of every Muslim to read and try to understand the meaning of the Holy Al-Quran. Thereby we can gain an insight into the Divine secrets enshrined therein. Besides, it brings peace and illumination to the mind and imparts purity to the soul.

OK, let us take this month of Ramadhan opportunity by:
1. Learn Islam with ambition

Azizul, Niza and Farrel

Farrel, 6 months!!

2008-08-28T13:33:00.018+02:00

Happy 6th Months Old to our precious Ahmad Farrel Daniel. Really happy for your progress and development till today. You are an apple of our eyes. Time flies so rapidly and we couldn't believe he is already 6 months today. I still can remember feeling him in my belly and seeing his feet poke out my belly. That's 7 months ago. However, the memory still fresh in my memory. What an amazing experience it was, now he is a big baby. In 6 months ahead he will become a toddler. And we are really hoping, all the reminiscence to raise him since newborn will remain forever in our memory.

As he's grown up now, we are starting to feed him solid food. Actually we start gave him Bledina baby food when he turned 5 months. At first I wondered how do we know our baby is ready for solid food? I began to google the information through internet and here are some tips from my reading about signs of baby readiness of solid food:

As a mom, we can feel our baby may ‘need something’ more than formula or breastmilk. Yeah.. my biological clock is ticking. Farrel need something more!!

Maybe our baby is beginning to awaken more often at night or eat more often than 'usual' and we wonder if introducing solid foods may be what he/she needs. But pls keep in mind that a growth spurt will occur between 3-4 months of age (the earliest stage). But bear in mind, he/she may also be waking due to illness and teething. Yes.. Farrel woke up more frequent than usual (usually he didn't woke up till morning since he 3 months old)

Ability to know she/he is full from a 'meal' with signs such as turning away from bottle or breast. This is important so that baby able to self-regulate the amount of food being eaten. This helps stop baby from accidentally overeating as parfents may continue to feed baby thinking she/he is still hungry.

Doubling of birth weight. Huhu... Farrel is 8kg now compare his birthweight was 3.21.

I'm a big boy!!

He learns to crawl..

He learns to sit up..

Apple Picking & Petit Paris

2008-08-25T12:34:00.014+02:00

Last Saturday we went to Le Verger des Azemars near Buzet Sur Tarn. It takes about 30 minutes from IAS. The objective we went there was to experience “Apple Picking” and besides to taste the sweetness and the freshness of the apples. It’s an activity that almost everyone can do, promotes healthy eating and is affordable. Not to mention the many different recipes you can make with apples. Homemade apple pie, apple tart, apple chips and apple cake, all can be made easily with a sack full of freshly picked apples. Me?? Huhu.. just make an apple caramel cake which is not bad at all. Next recipe will be Apple Pie or Apple Tart, Insya Allah.

Kalaulah saya ade gigi....

Next destination for Sunday was Petit Paris (Little Paris) which is 70km from IAS. We slowly cruise to the destination as we don’t want to miss the sign board as it a bit difficult to find the place. Actually this is the second time we try to find the place and the first time drove us to lose but fortunately there was an attractive village on the way back. The idea for Petit Paris was 14 years ago when a little boy, Gerard Brion decided to build Paris in his garden.

psstttt: sgt tension sbb internet lambat giler, nk upload gambo pun x leh.. huhu.. seksanya saya..

Jendela Hati

2008-08-22T08:14:00.009+02:00

Aku ingin hidup secerah mentari

Yang menyinar di kamar hatiku
Aku ingin seriang kicauan burung
Yang terdengar di jendela kehidupan
Aku ingin segala-galanya damai
penuh mesra membuah ceria
Aku ingin menghapus duka dan lara
Mengubat rindu di dalam dada
Sedamai pantai yang memutih
Sebersih titisan embunan pagi
Dan ukhuwah ini pasti berputik
Menghiasi taman yang harmoni

Mendengarkan lagu ini benar2 membuat diriku termenung jauh, tersentuh dengan setiap bait lagu tu. Yes.. I admit, everything begins from our heart. Sincerity is the answer for everything we do in life. ‘Aku ingin segala-galanya damai, penuh mesra membuah ceria’. Huhu.. that’s what my bottom heart tells me every single day. However, everything is predetermined by God and definitely He knows the very best for us. Every hardship given by HIM is ‘tarbiyah’ to test our patience. My hubby and I believe everything happened or gonna be happen is HIS ‘tarbiyah’ which gave us valuable lesson and this will fade soon. Every cloud has a silver lining and we are really grateful on what we’ve been going through. We still can smile and act like nothing happen. Hypocrite? Erm.. maybe that the best approach for everyone pleasure. Okay.. that’s all for the preface. Huhu.. a bit ‘emo’ intro.

Last weekend we got 2 invitations, birthday party for our friend’s daughter Aqilah (Happy 4th Birthday Qilah) and get-together lunch from Mdm Penin (Farrel’s foster auntie). We just swung by Aqilah’s birthday party for a while and then we led to Mdm Penin’s house. Almost 2 hours wasting our time in car to search for Mdm Penin’s house and at last we met up at Carrefour Purpan and she brought us to her house. At first Farrel was so clingy but when he gets familiar with Mdm Penin he becomes friendly and begins to explore the house barefacedly. Huhu.. buat mcm rumah sendiri pulak ye sayang..

akhirnya sampai jugaa..

Lambatnya train ni daddy..

Daddy.. kite nak gi mana ni pagi2 buta??

On Sunday, we went to ‘pasar hari’ in town. The market was happening with lots of fresh veggies and fruits. Almost every stall sold grapes and melons but no durian laa.. huhu.. Tak sabarnye nk blk

Malaysia

makan durian. Nyum..nyum.. My mom already keeps some in fridge for her beloved daughter. Huhu.. Tq mama.. Jawabnya raya ni melantak durian je la. Hihi.. Okayla.. banyak pulak membebel hr ni. Till then yaa !!

A short posting for a special day 20082008. Hehe.

No update

2008-08-19T09:24:00.005+02:00

Sorry if no update lately. Coz the internet is not stable yet and my hubby now using the laptop for writing his thesis. So I don't have the chance to pen something here. But I'll update as usual soon.

Sorbet d'Amour and Farrel

2008-08-13T16:14:00.007+02:00

Sorbet d'Amour's ice cream... nyum nyum..

To fill up my day without internet, I just ‘layan’ my new novel by Nicolas Sparks while my hubby keeps himself busy to finish his internship project. Sometimes I lend him a hand in MATLAB script though I forgot a lot about it. Special thanks to Nurul and Am because help him a lot in order to accomplish the project. He determined to finish the project before Ramadhan if possible; even the time is not against the clock. For Farrel, he doesn’t bother either internet is OK or not as long as he can rolls his body on the carpet boundlessly and watching his favourite cartoon Oggy. Actually me n hubby enjoy watching Oggy as well. Hehe.. At present, Farrel likes to lift up his butt as high as he could, we think he puts a great effort to the next phase (crawling) which normal for baby developmental milestone. C’mon babe!!! Allez allez!!! You can do it. Latest achievement for him, he successfully gets out from his car seat by himself when we didn’t buckle him. He truly ‘hero’, just like his name (Farrel = warrior).

Last weekend, we went to Capitole (city centre of Toulouse). One of our favourite activity, walking around the city and of course we swung by our favourite ice cream restaurant (Sorbet d’Amour) which is must visit place when we are going to Capitole. The ice cream’s taste there is like a heaven and we sure we are gonna miss it when back to Malaysia. We’ve been introduced to this ice cream restaurant after watching the documentary in television. Believe me; the taste is yummier compared to Jeff de Bruge’s ice cream. Then, we went to MIDICA the boutique for household equipments which we ‘happily’ spend an arm and a leg for our new ‘Old Country Roses Tea Set’. This was what my hubby said right after paid it: “Za.. nanti kalau kita tak cukup makan, kita rebus je tea set ni ye”. Soooo kejammm la abang!! Huhu.. Owh yea.. Farrel managed ‘to seduce’ one of the aunties there by his smiling. As consequence, he got a white fuzzy Polar Bear from his ‘foster auntie’.

First step

Voila...

Cheeky face...

Serius..

Huhu, see what he's doing with...

Rambling

2008-08-11T12:13:00.003+02:00

Welcome to the new world for Nor Amalina Maisara. Alhamdulillah everything went well even my sis in law had to went through operation for this time. Congratulation to my sis in law and now our son, Farrel has 3 cousins from Azizul’s side and 1 cousin from my side (another one is coming this November). My heart beats pounder cause couldn’t wait the moment to meet with all our family members. Another one more month to go.

Alhamdulillah, finally, Azizul’s family managed to get the house for us in Nibong Tebal. This is just the temporary and we’re waiting our dreamt house soon.

The internet still not in good condition and I’m really hate being in this condition. What else’s to rambling here? Got no idea at all. Happy Holidays to Nurul and Zara. Hope you all have a nice trip.

080808

2008-08-08T11:51:00.003+02:00

Today is 080808. Its not bring any meaning or any significant event in my life. Simply 080808 is just a unique number, special number for this year.

Yesterday, my hubby and I performed a ‘puasa sunat’ for Syaaban. And the menus for yesterday were Nasi Lemak Kukus, Sambal Ikan Bilis, Boiled Carrot with Mayonis and the desert was Kek Gula Hangus. Alhamdulillah my first try for the cake was successful. And the best part was my hubby willing to give a hand to cook the Sambal Ikan Bilis. Frankly said, he seldom helps me in the kitchen. As far as I remember, he did cook for me when I was in prohibiting period. He tried his best even he need to search a recipe for ‘sayur bayam tumis with egg’ through internet. Haha, for me ‘sayur bayam tumis with egg’ is just a piece of cake. Wowo, so arrogant huh? No lah. Just to my hubby. So funny because he didn’t know that egg and spinach is prohibited for me at that time. However to show my appreciation to him, I just eat it. Alhamdulillah nothing happened to me. Below I attached also the recipe for Kek Gula Hangus.

Bahan-bahan

1 cawan gula - untuk karamel
1 cawan air panas
1/2 cawan gula
1 cawan tepung gandum
1/2 cawan susu segar
2 sudu teh soda bikarbonat
4 biji telur
2 sudu makan butter/marjerin

Cara-cara

Panaskan 1 cawan gula dalam periuk sehingga menjadi karamel(perang dan cair semua gula..jangan sampai hitam legam hangus)
Padamkan api. Masukkan 1 cawan air panas (air gula karamel nanti akan meruap, jadi berhati hati dan pastikan periuk cukup besar untuk megelakkan tumpah. Air mesti air panas, kalau sejuk, nanti karamel akan terkezut dan terus keras). Kacau dan masukkan butter dan 1/2 cawan gula lagi. Biarkan sejuk.
Pukul telur sampai kembang. Saya guna blender saja. Masukkan tepung, susu, soda. Blend hingga sebati.
Akhir sekali masukkan karamel yang telah disejukkan tadi dan blend lagi hingga sebati
Perapkan lebih kurang 30 minit. Masukkan kedalam acuan yg telah disapu sedikit butter. Bakar selama 30-40 minit (oven 160 darjah)

Snippets about the Internet

2008-08-06T15:14:00.004+02:00

Internet = Flip flop. That’s all what could I comment on our internet connection. Yea, perhaps we don’t need to pay so the internet administrator could do whatever they want to the internet connection. I admit I would have a limitation to the outside world without the internet. Hmm what else could I say about so-called internet.

First time we arrived here, I'm used to live without internet and television for about three months. And at that time, we went to one of my friends who live in city centre specifically St Michel once a week just to use the internet and also watching television. Huhu.

Without internet, I couldn't update my blog, read my friend's blog, read newspaper, watching drama series, and etc. So many things I couldn't do. Huhu. Don't know what to do except just playing around with my son, Farrel, watching television and my favourite activity, cooking. Hehe.

The clock is ticking and time flies so fast. The 'soldes' just finished. We already start packing our things and we are ready to be back to Malaysia. My hubby just send the email to USM ask for the return ticket.

I really hope we can celebrate Aidilfitri in

Malaysia

with our beloved family.

Got the idea of making this ‘keropok lekor’ after read Nurul’s blog. Heheh.. it's not difficult in fact. However, my 1st try keropok lekor a bit ‘liat’(my hubby said like chewing gum) and it’s good for mouth exercise. Hihi.. actually I put more starch sbb I dah terlajak letak air. huhu..

Happy Friendship Day

2008-08-01T14:29:00.005+02:00

"Dont walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my FRIEND...

True friendship is about putting your feet up and knowing that someone is there to bail you out when the world may out on you.

A good friend is like a computer. I 'enter' in your life, 'save' you in my heart, 'format' your problems, 'shift' you to opportunities and never 'delete' you from my memory.

To all my friends, 'Happy Friendship Day'. Thank you for being there when time got rough and make it easier when times get too tough. Thank you for everything.

Israk and Mikraj

2008-07-30T15:26:00.006+02:00

27th Rejab of every year in Muslim Calendar, one of the significant festival for the Muslim all over the world. Israk and Mikraj, the journey that our Prophet Muhammad SAW took in one might from Masjidil Haram, Makkah to Masjidil Aqsa, Baitulmaqdis, Palestine and to Sidratul Muntaha. I'm not an expert in this field and I would like to share with all my blog readers the story behind the journey. I 'copycat' this article from Kisah Israk and Mikraj.

HARI ini, 27 Rejab mencatatkan peristiwa penting dalam kerasulan Nabi Muhammad SAW iaitu perjalanan Israk Mikraj perjalanan Baginda dari Masjidil Haram di Makkah ke Masjidil Aqsa di Baitulmaqdis di Palestin serta dari Masjidil Aqsa ke Sidratil Muntaha di langit ketujuh.Firman Allah bermaksud: "Maha suci Allah yang telah memperjalankan hamba-Nya pada suatu malam dari Masjidil-Haram ke Masjidil Aqsa yang telah Kami berkati sekelilingnya (dengan diturunkan nabi-nabi di negeri itu dan kesuburan tanahnya), agar Kami perlihatkan kepadanya sebahagian dari tanda-tanda kebesaran Kami. Sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui." (Surah al-Isra', ayat 1)Peristiwa ini berlaku setahun sebelum hijrahnya Nabi SAW ke Madinah bersamaan tahun 721 Masihi. Ia berlaku di tengah-tengah tekanan dan hinaan yang kuat yang dialami oleh Rasulullah dan sahabat daripada kelompok Musyrikin Makkah seperti Abu Jahal dan Abu Lahab.Israk Mikraj adalah satu perjalanan kilat Nabi Muhammad pada malam hari atas kudrat dan iradat Allah dari Masjidil Haram ke Masjidil Aqsa. Baginda kemudian naik ke langit sampai ke Sidratil Muntaha, bahkan ke Mustawa dan sampai di bawah Arasy Allah (suatu tempat di mana alam ini diatur) dengan menembusi tujuh lapis langit, lalu kembali semula ke Makkah pada malam yang sama.

Kisah-kisah dalam peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj mengandungi sesuatu yang amat menakjubkan kerana ia tidak sama dengan cara perjalanan ditempuh oleh manusia biasa.

Perjalanan ini adalah perjalanan istimewa menggunakan kenderaan Allah yang kelajuannya tidak boleh ditandingi dengan apa saja kenderaan yang direka oleh manusia.

Dalam peristiwa itu Rasulullah SAW diperlihatkan kekuasaan Allah serta balasan yang bakal diterima umatnya di akhirat nanti. Firman Allah bermaksud: Dan demi sesungguhnya! (Nabi Muhammad SAW) telah melihat (Jibril dalam bentuk rupanya yang asal) pada waktu yang lain iaitu di Sidratil Muntaha. "Dekatnya ada syurga tempat tinggal, (Muhammad melihat Jibril) ketika Sidratil Muntaha diliputi oleh sesuatu yang meliputinya.

"Penglihatan (Muhammad SAW) tidak berkisar daripada menyaksikan dengan tepat (akan pemandangan yang indah di situ yang diizinkan melihatnya), dan tidak pula melampaui batas. "Demi sesungguhnya Baginda telah melihat sebahagian daripada sebesar-besar tanda-tanda (yang membuktikan luasnya pemerintahan dan kekuasaan) Tuhan-Nya." - (Surah an-Najm, ayat 13-18).

Antara pengajaran dalam peristiwa itu ialah mengenai wanita. Dalam perjalanan Israk dan Mikraj, Rasulullah SAW turut melewati satu kawasan berbau sungguh harum dengan bau-bauan kasturi. Lalu Baginda bertanya kepada Jibril kawasan apakah yang sedang mereka lalui.

Jibril menjawab: "Itulah makam Masyitah, seorang wanita penghulu syurga." Beliau ialah adalah pengasuh anak Firaun, pemerintah kejam di Mesir yang mengaku dirinya Tuhan. Masyitah berfizikal lemah, mempunyai semangat kuat dan jiwa keIslaman sehingga mampu menafikan keangkuhan Firaun.

Masyitah ialah pelayan raja. Beliau adalah seorang rakyat yang masih sedar dan beriman kepada Allah tetapi disebabkan kekejaman Firaun, beliau dan ramai lagi terpaksa menyembunyikan keimanan mereka.

Pada suatu hari, ketika Masyitah menyikat rambut puteri Firaun, tiba-tiba sikat itu terjatuh. Dengan tidak sengaja, beliau menyebut nama Allah.

Apabila puteri itu mendengar perkataan Allah, dia bertanya kepada Masyitah, siapakah Allah itu. Masyitah pada mulanya enggan menjawab tetapi selepas didesak berkali-kali, beliau akhirnya memberitahu bahawa Allah adalah Tuhan Yang Esa dan Tuhan Sekalian Alam.

Puteri itu mengadu kepada Firaun mengenai perkara itu menyebabkan Firaun terlalu marah apabila mengetahui Masyitah menyembah tuhan selainnya. Masyitah dipaksa Firaun memperakui dirinya (Firaun) sebagai Tuhan, tetapi dengan penuh keberanian beliau berkata: "Tuhan aku dan Tuhan kamu adalah Allah."

Perkataan itu menimbulkan kemarahan Firaun, lalu memerintahkan dibuat patung lembu daripada tembaga untuk diisi minyak bagi merebus Masyitah.

Menteri Firaun, iaitu Hamman, salah seorang penghuni neraka, diperintahkan Firaun untuk membunuh Masyita. Firaun memerintahkan patung lembu itu diletakkan di atas api sehingga panas menggelegak dan mengarahkan Masyitah dan ahli keluarganya dilontar seorang demi seorang.

Pada waktu giliran bayinya hendak dimasukkan ke dalam api itu untuk direbus, Masyitah hampir mengaku kalah dan menyerah kepada kemahuan Firaun kerana terlalu sayangkan anaknya. Tetapi dengan kehendak Allah, berlaku kejadian luar biasa apabila bayi itu dengan fasih berkata: "Wahai ibuku! Teruskanlah dan jangan menyerah kalah, sesungguhnya engkau di atas (jalan) kebenaran."

Masyitah dan keluarganya mempertahankan keimanan mereka dengan mengatakan Allah Tuhan Yang Esa dan Firaun hanya manusia biasa. Lalu semuanya syahid dibunuh Firaun.

Keberanian seorang wanita memperjuangkan kebenaran dan keimanan ini dirakam dan diingati setiap tahun oleh seluruh manusia melalui peristiwa Israk Mikraj.

Semua ahli keluarga Masyitah mendapat balasan syuhada daripada Allah kerana mempertahankan akidah sehingga mati.

Dalam perjalanan itu, Baginda turut diperlihatkan 10 jenis seksaan yang menimpa wanita yang membuatkan Rasulullah SAW menangis setiap kali mengenangkannya.

Dalam perjalanan itu, antaranya Baginda diperlihatkan perempuan yang digantung dengan rambut dan otak di kepalanya mendidih. Mereka adalah perempuan yang tidak mahu melindungi rambutnya daripada dilihat lelaki lain.

Seksaan lain yang diperlihatkan Baginda ialah perempuan yang digantung dengan lidahnya dan tangannya dikeluarkan daripada punggung dan minyak panas dituangkan ke dalam kerongkongnya. Mereka adalah perempuan yang suka menyakiti hati suami dengan kata-katanya.

Baginda juga melihat bagaimana perempuan digantung buah dadanya dari arah punggung dan air pokok zakum dituang ke dalam kerongkongnya. Mereka adalah perempuan yang menyusui anak orang lain tanpa keizinan suaminya.

Ada pula perempuan diikat dua kakinya serta dua tangannya sampai ke ubun dan dibelit beberapa ular dan kala jengking. Mereka adalah perempuan yang boleh solat dan berpuasa tetapi tidak mahu mengerjakannya, tidak berwuduk dan tidak mahu mandi junub. Mereka sering keluar rumah tanpa mendapat izin suaminya terlebih dulu dan tidak mandi iaitu tidak bersuci selepas habis haid dan nifas.

Selain itu, Baginda melihat perempuan yang makan daging tubuhnya sendiri manakala di bawahnya ada api yang menyala. Mereka adalah perempuan yang berhias untuk dilihat lelaki lain dan suka menceritakan aib orang lain.

Baginda juga melihat perempuan yang memotong badannya sendiri dengan gunting dari neraka. Mereka adalah perempuan yang suka memasyhurkan diri sendiri supaya orang melihat akan perhiasannya.

Seksaan lain yang dilihat Baginda ialah perempuan yang kepalanya seperti kepala babi dan badannya pula seperti keldai. Mereka adalah perempuan yang suka mengadu domba dan sangat suka berdusta.

Ada pula perempuan yang Baginda nampak rupanya berbentuk anjing dan beberapa ular serta kala jengking masuk ke dalam mulutnya dan keluar melalui duburnya. Mereka adalah perempuan yang suka marah kepada suaminya dan memfitnah orang lain.

At last, I would like to say, it is really insightful reading and let's take the lesson behind in order to improve our 'taqwa'. Insya Allah.

Happy 'Sun'day

Pont Neuf

Last Sunday, we went to ‘Jardin de Pont Neuf’ near the town. In French, ‘jardin’ means ‘park’ and ‘Pont Neuf’ means ‘Ninth Bridge’. ‘Pont Neuf’ is significant to Toulouse which is one of the Toulouse landmarks other than Capitole. The history behind it is the construction for the bridge took almost a century. One of the funny reason it took so long to finished because there is a difference of 10 meters between the left and the rights banks. Hehe. Long time ago, flooding of the ‘Garonne’ (big river) destroyed all the previous bridge, but this one has been in place for four centuries because of its tunnels above the arches, allow water to flow away during the floods. If we see with bare eyes, it just a simple bridge but the truth is its have historical value. It shows how intelligent was the ancient architect. Owh yeah.. this entry is not purposely to reveal the history about the bridge, just wanna share some pictures of us when we were there. Actually, we always been there because of its peaceful and now the garden is officially be our ‘port’ for picnic. Hehe.. But last week, I didn’t prepare foods to bring because of last minute planning. Hehe, just one of the reasons to ‘pow’ my hubby for ice cream. Huhuhu.. Besides having an ice cream while witness peoples and kids around having their fun time, we can relax our mind.

Farrel, 5th months

2008-07-28T15:02:00.010+02:00

Alhamdulillah, Farrel's celerbrating his 5th months birthday today. Happy 5th months birthday son!! When looking him, I couldn't believe my hubby and I could manage to taking care of him by our own without family members around. Thanks a lot to our friends here who always guide and help us whenever we need a hand. We acknowledge, without proper knowledge that we have and experience people's around, it could be difficult for us. For me, I didn't have any experience dealing with baby before except a little help to looked my little nephew Adam (huhu, miss him so much), but at that time I was a student, same with my hubby.

Now, Farrel is almost 7kg compared to 3.21kg when he was born. Good progress son. But please don't be too chubby, nanti asyik kena cubit je ngan aunties in Malaysia. Hehe. Plus, mummy and daddy pun tak larat nak dukung nanti. Even with almost 7kg now, I have to alternate holding him with my hubby every 10 minutes. Hehe.

A few fact about Farrel:

Now, he can sleep independently, just put him on his cot around 1030pm, after 5-10 minutes he will sleep by himself. Before this, I need to 'dodoi' him before he could sleep tightly. At first, Farrel mengamuk juga bila biar dia sorang2 dalam cot, but now he used to it. So proud of you son!!
He could hold his bottle by his own. Actually we did teach him since he was 2 months old or we put something to support the bottle, so I have chance to do other things. At the same time, I'm still breastfeeding him and I wish to continue until he reaches 2 years old. Thanks Allah, he accepts both. Some baby refuse breastfeeding when they used to formula milk.
Last but not least, he really love to smile and laugh when we or other people around look and tickle him. He's so sporting when he's in good mood and when he's not, everything could become worst. Huhu.

Ok, that's all. Happy 5th months Farrel.

Andorra

2008-07-25T16:53:00.001+02:00

It’s has been a week since the last update about ‘happy day’. Why? I don’t have a specific reason but enough to say that I’m not in good mood to write. Just wanna update what happened recently. Last Saturday we went to Andorra to continue our ‘shopping agenda’. Hehe. FYI, Andorra is a small country, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains boarded between Spain and France and duty-free status. Sounds interesting huh? We left IAS about 7.45 am and safely arrived there around 10.15am. The weather was beautiful that day and we smoothly drove to the destination. We’ve been informed by Uncle Jimmy, the weather was superb compared to the last trip he had joined, and about 5 hours taken to arrive. After we arrived there, we start our ‘explorace’ as we explore shop by shop. Almost all the shop got sale but the situation not happening like in Toulouse. However the price is still cheaper compared to Toulouse. Hehe. From my observation, the price difference is about 20-30Euro. It’s really worth it go there where I managed to have my handbag with 30euro cheaper than Toulouse and my hubby’s watch is 90Euro cheaper. Huhu.. Sound interesting rite?? The objective we were there is to buy Swiss knife ordered by our family and friends in Malaysia. Huhu.. risau jugak kalau tak lepas kat airport nanti, byk sgt pisau Swiss ni. Karang org ingat kiteorg terrorist lak bawak senjata. We think this will be our last trip to Andorra before we fly back to Malaysia and of course we gonna miss it. Besides the shopping matter, Andorra itself is a charming beautiful panorama with fresh air as it is a mountainous country. We are looking forward to Roca Village, the next destination for ‘Explorace’ and ‘shopping agenda’ Part II. Hehe..

Other than that, my hubby keeps himself busy; for the internship and work on the proposal for his Ph.D. For the internship; he already show the progress and at the same time writing his final report. For his Ph.D; he already receive the offer from Surrey by email and will get his offer letter by next week. Hope everything will be ok and smooth. Yet, we don’t know our situation at the moment. We should back to Malaysia first or directly to UK. However, we have to fly back to Malaysia to settle couple of things. Our beloved family in Malaysia really want to meet our new family member, Ahmad Farrel Daniel. Moreover, we really miss them so much and for sure we hope to celebrate Aidilfitri in Malaysia.

Happy Day

2008-07-18T17:31:00.012+02:00

Buah Hati Mummy n Daddy

I’m so happy today even I can’t closed my eyes the whole night yesterday, just watched my 2 heroes sleep tightly. Yeah, I admit looking our loving person while they are sleeping can reduce the stress or pressure a.k.a. therapy for mind. Hehe. Besides that, I keep thinking how can I live without both of you babe. Both of you are so significant in my life. Afterwards, I keep dreaming to have a big house, own a business and wondering how will be my life for the next 5 years, 10 years and so on. Hoho.

Today we received three good news;

1st - Just got our allowance from KPT (suppose to received it by the end of this month) meaning that our shopping agenda will be more thrilling. Kikiki.

2nd – Received an email from my hubby’s ex-dean who wants to sell his house in Nibong Tebal and fortunately the house is still available. Actually one of big agenda for this year is to have our own house. In fact, we did ask ayah to look for us a house in Nibong Tebal area since last year and he did list out some. By considering a few factors such as location, facilities, neighbourhood and others, we are interested in house mentioned before. The house is Double Storey Semi-D and overall land size is 35 by 75 feet, built size is 22 by 65 feet. The owner already make a lot of renovations such as extension for wet kitchen, use high quality ceramic for floor tiles, fixed stairs and 2nd floor with floor board system, kitchen cabinet custom made with bar-counter, all ceiling are plaster-crafted and the gate already installed with automatic system. The owner moved to Selangor due to some reason and he said that he considered the house is ‘give-a-way’. We saw the pictures of the house and ask ‘ayah’ to ensure the house. What can I say about the price is reasonable with the house condition. Hopefully, if our ‘rezeki’ is there so we can own the house. Really hope for that.

3^rd - Accepted the book that we order from Amazon.com and still waiting for another one. The book title is ‘The Choice’ written by Nicholas Spark. I do admire the writer because the way he delivered the story is very interesting. Another book we are waiting also written by him. Till now we already have some from his collection.

Ok, till then.

Value of Heart

2008-07-17T13:42:00.003+02:00

I do love the Daily Motivator, featuring Ralph Marston's Inspirational and Upbeat messages. And below I quoted one from Motivation @ Inspiration from The Daily Motivator.

When your world seems frustrating, keep in mind that the most important part of you exists beyond those frustrations. When life feels painful, never forget that the pain, however difficult it may be, is confined to just a small portion of who you truly are.

All around you are things you can see and touch and physically manipulate. They are part of life, but they are by no means all there is.

You cannot hold love in your hand, and yet you know for certain that it exists. You cannot capture joy in a box or an envelope and yet you have no doubt that it is real.

When the outward concerns of life seem to be overwhelming, remind yourself, there's more. There is so very much more to living and being than those things you can see and hear, taste and smell, touch and possess.

Even those losses and disappointments that feel big and burdensome, are small in comparison to all the beautiful, positive possibilities living within you. Look beyond the noisy, superficial distractions and remember the miracle of your existence.

Live your life around the values in your heart. And those everyday pains and nuisances will lose their power to bring you down.

[Ralph Marston]

For me when talking about value of heart is the same as talking on value of life. Money is not everything. We can't pay even with our life. But we can fill our life with loves and happiness, and it makes our life more meaningful. Yea, everybody has their own ways how to enjoy their life, makes their life happy, how to overcome problems and all. I won't deny it. What every it is, the direction is still the same. At the end, the result must be satisfied and enjoyable even how hard to achieved. Like the people always said, "Taste the pain to taste the sweets". I'm really happy with my life now. Thanks God for all the sweetness and pain. I learned everything what if life all about. Let's enjoy every single second of life. Life to the fullest!!

Debate

2008-07-16T13:26:00.005+02:00

Sleep a bit late yesterday because watched the debate between DSAI and Dato' Shabery Cheek. The topic was 'Hari Ini Kita Perintah, Esok Harga Minyak Turun'. Once I heard about that its ridiculous but after DSAI gave all the fact, there is the truth. In my mind, why Malaysian Governement now can't have that kind of idea?? Then for me, Dato' Sabery Cheek was out of topic. He just interested to attack DSAI in personal matter and not give the rational why the government increased the fuel price. He not qualified to be a Minister and should resign from his post. Tak gitu Nurul?? Hehe, terelebin emosional lak. Kwang3x.

July

2008-07-09T23:10:00.006+02:00

Latest Pic 3 of US

This is the first posting for July, no updates since the internet has a problem. Erm.. Actually I have no idea what should I pen here but I’ll try my best to write since there are no updates for July yet. Just wanna list what was happen recently;

1. Alhamdulillah, our goods arrived safely last Thursday, 3^rd July 2008 and collected by ‘Ayah’ at MAS Cargo Penang. There are a lot of procedures need to comply with before he could claim our boxes. Been waiting nearly 6 hours there prior to pick up the freight. Malaysian Customs did constrict the inspection process and we have been told by ‘Ayah’, normally they imposed 100% of tax on the value of things. Fortunately, ‘Ayah’ discussed with MAS Cargo personnel, so that it just cost us about RM200 (the payment of ‘duit kopi’), instead of RM5000. Luckily, ‘Ayah’ knows how to deal with. Thanks to Ayah.

CAK!!

Mummy.. tired laaa

Mummy.. dodoilaaa.. Farrel nak sleep

2. Farrel’s weight now is almost 7kg. “Farrel Membesar Bagaikan JUARA”. huhu.. Now, he loves to roll his body on his ‘tapis’. The most favourite place he likes to play is under the bed. Haha.. Banyak-banyak tempat dalam rumah, kat bawah katil paling Farrel suka. He also loves to smile and laugh when people amuse him. Recently we give him cereal once a day, combine with his milk. Received his first book last Tuesday from Amazon. In fact, we wanted to buy that book at Disneyland Paris during last vacation; bad for us, the store can’t accept bank card because their machine is broken so we decided to order it from Amazon where the price is cheaper.

3. Daddy @k@ my hubby just received an email from Surrey’s lecturer concerning his Ph. D’s application. The topic is related to formation flying using electrostatic forces (charges) and funded by European Space Agency. Sounds great and the responsibility is really huge. But it’s still in discussion phase. Hope everything will be fine till he get Ph. D. Aja aja fighting Daddy!!

"Borong" from Amazon.com

4. Me?? Hehe.. Nothing much about me. The most satisfied and happiest thing is, I just bought new watch and Swarovski’s bangle with 50% off respectively. The bad news is M.A.C product have no sales at all. Huhu However I still consider buying their products because the price is reasonable compared to Malaysia. And now, I love to bake cuppies (cup cakes) which is famous in Malaysia lately. There are varieties of interesting appearance for cup cakes. I am hoping in the future I can own a business related to bakery. Insya Allah.

Ok, till then.

No Title

2008-06-30T17:10:00.004+02:00

I woke up cheerfully today as my pet team won last night. Bravo Espagne!! As expected Spain was defeat over Germany 1-0 meaning that the 'Henri Delauney' Trophy @k@ Euro Champion 2008 goes to Spain. However my hubby compelled to agree with Spain's strength. Ermm, so how bout the deal honey?? Hehe.

And today is 30 June 2008, nothing special about today but yesterday was 29 June 2008 means it's already a year we've been here in France specifically Toulouse. As time goes by, I still can feel the sadness as being apart from our beloved family. And we are counting days to return back to our family and beloved country. Insya Allah, we'll be back at the end of September with our new family member, Ahmad Farrel Daniel. We are looking forward for that moment and we hope that USM will provide us tickets before Aidilfitri. Coz in past 2 years, I didn't have chance to celebrate Aidilfitri with my family. Last year I celebrate for the very first time as wife here in Toulouse together with my lovely hubby and the most terrible was in 2006 where I did celebrate it alone in Japan particularly in the office. So sad.

During the past one year, so many things occurred, ups and downs, good things, bad things which teach us the meaning of life and how to be a better person. For us, what happened here left us 1001 unforgettable memories. Our life as husband and wife was beginning here and we did learn a lot. For us, everyday is a new opportunity. We can build on yesterday's success or put its failure behind and start over again. That's the way of life, full of new 'game' every day. Thanks to Allah, without HIS 'guidance' and 'hidayah' we never know where we are now. HE did give us the hardship and HE did also give us the way out from the hardship. Alhamdulillah. And not to forget our beloved family and friends, they never stop praying for us. Thanks so much. Huhu, we really love you all so much.

Soldes, time to shopping!!

2008-06-25T22:40:00.012+02:00

'Soldes' has started here. I'm not so sure about the other European country. But as far as I know, Belgium also has this kind of 'fiesta' but only will start beginning of July. In easier word 'Soldes' means Sales @k@ Summer Sales because it happened during the summer. Hehe. Malaysia also has but known as Mega Sale. We are so excited especially to see ourselves what 'nature' of 'fiesta' it is. Last year we arrived here on 29 Jun 200, but at 7that time we were not excited as now. I'm not really remembered what we have bought for the last summer. The only I remembered were the groceries and the 'things' for our 'tiny' studio room to start our life.

Truly to say, we are waiting this 'soldes'. Hehe. And now it's the time. Yesterday, we went to Carrefour Labege to see the situation. As expected every shop has the 'Soldes' tag with different color and discount to attract people to buy their things. Hehe. Unfortunately, we had limited time because we also had the appointment with the authority here on 1830 pm yesterday, to sign/fill the document to extend our resident permit until this October. Hoho!! We planned to going out today to see what they can offer us. Haha!! Yesterday, we just visited Esprit. And with limited time we had, my hubby and I just ‘harvested’ two t-shirts and one purse. Haha!!

The only incident which was funny for us, Farrel was so sleepy yesterday. Surprisingly after arrived Carrefour he opened up his eyes as big as he could. Looking around because there were many people around him. He smiled to us when we were in queue to pay our things. Haha.

There are my wish lists for this 'Soldes': (bleh ye bang!! Hehe)

1) Clothes
2) Make-Up Collection
3) Handbag
4) Watch
5) Sandal

P/s: We have to bear in mind, with limited of money we have to be 'smart' shopper. We have other agenda in

Malaysia

Summer and Farrel

2008-06-24T11:04:00.014+02:00

Your smile makes Mummy n Daddy's heart melt......

Summer has finally arrived in Toulouse. It's been extremely hot and, unfortunately, I am not much of a summer person. Yesterday, we told one of my friend, I still wear a sock in the house, but today everything change drastically. Our apartment doesn't have air conditioning so the best way to deal with the heat is to turn on the fan 24 hours a day. Fortunately, we have trees at backyard of our apartment which act as a sun shield. Then we avoid going out from house frequently as we did during the autumn. Just staying at our small apartment but seems so comfortable for three of us, sometimes annoying us too. Whilst watching TV, playing games, etc. Nothing much we can do outside since it's too hot. I can feel that the sun likes to burn us when it's touch the skin. Huhu.

But for me it's other side of story. Staying at home means to save the budget. Since nowhere here to go, just shopping complex like Carrefour, Auchan, E Leclerc. Visiting those means we have to spend our money. Hehe. It's good huh?

Today we are sending our parcel back to Malaysia. Not too much, just 4 big boxes with sized 350x450x600 and the weight for all boxes with our things inside about 106kg. I really don't have any idea about the total cost of sending the parcel yet. But from our discussion with the guy from the shipment company, it will cost us about 500++ Euro. It's the cost from door to airport only, if we wanted the parcel arrive safely at our home we have to add another 150++ Euro. Too expensive ha? We wanted to send it early to avoid the cost of sending will continuously increase in the future. Hoping that the parcel will arrive safely at the airport and safely taken by my father.

Owh yea.. Good news, Farrel starting to 'meniarap' . First time we saw he did it last week we are so excited. Farrel successfully at the end after strive harder for about 2 weeks. Alhamdulillah, his making great strides physically and developmentally. The important thing he's also learning to communicate with us through facial expressions especially when he's crying. Hehe.

First time meniarap.. Go sayang.. Go Go...

Who's excited more?? Daddy or Farrel???

Mummy n Farrel during Sea Lion spectacles

With the "nice" Paddy horse..

Note: Just got the email from Shipment Company. We have to pay only 438.40 Euro for 106kg. It's worth. Not so far from the cost like our friend's last year. Then we can choose when we want the parcel arrive Malaysia. Once we pay our parcel will ship via Malaysian Airlines to Penang Airport. Yehaa!! Hoping our parcel arrive safely and 'sound'.

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-15T11:57:00.006+02:00

This video dedicated to My Beloved Hubby. Happy Father's Day daddy. We LOVE you so much. Thanx for being such a great daddy to Farrel. Hope our LOVE will remains FOREVER.

I also would like to wish Happy Father's Day to My beloved Abah, Puzi Bin Idris. Abah, I LOVE you so much for all that you do. I'll be thanking heaven for a special dad like you.

Bla..bla..bla...

2008-06-10T22:20:00.008+02:00

Guess who???

Lately I feel time flies too fast, realized or not I will leave France not more than 4 months starting from now. I can’t deny it I really miss Malaysia like hell now especially my lovely family, relatives, friends, foods etc. The end of this month I will post all my things to Malaysia. I send it early to avoid the increasing in cost due to the increasing of the fuel price globally lately. In Malaysia I heard the government already up the petrol price up to RM2.70 and RM2.58 for the diesel per litre. For me it’s too much. But what can I say. As Malaysian of course I’m not agree with the government by for how long they can last. And the Malaysian should understand what government doing is for the sake of the people. And for how long Malaysian should enjoy the subsidy? When the time comes, it will be no subsidy at all.

Owh yea, last Saturday was the engagement day of my younger brother. The only one brother that I have. He just 23 years old!! Too young yea!! Anyway, that’s what we called “jodoh”. Anyway congratulations to my brother Fairuz and his fiancée Farah. And my best friend, Hasliza. Congratulations too!! And their wedding day will be on November. Whatever hoping that their will be blissful and happiness. We can’t wait for that moment. Today also I received good news, one friend of mine has an interview for the promotion this 23^rd of June. I’m happy for that. Wish you best of luck.

In life we have ups and downs, so that happen also in my family. Last Saturday also we received sad news that one of my close relative was passed away. Condolence to Long’s Family. Al Fatihah to Allahyarham tok wan Hussein.

Farrel?? Owh yea… Now he starts to rolls and push his body. I’m very glad for his improvement. Keep on struggling babe!!. He also starts calling people around by saying “aaaa…. aaaa…” Hehehe.. Daddy?? Now he busy doing his project for his internship. Luckily he just does it at home and of course I’m the happiest person. Hehe.

Ok, till then.

Gifts from my side. (13 "dulang")

Haaa... 38 "dulang"????.. amboiii.meriahnyaa

A part from my big family. Miss u guys so much!!!

What You Do With Now?

2008-06-05T19:47:00.001+02:00

It is not your fault. But it is your responsibility.

The choices you have made have brought you to where you are now. And so have other factors that are completely beyond your control.

There's nothing to be gained by blaming yourself for the way your life has unfolded. There's everything to be gained by actively taking full responsibility for the way your life proceeds.

The route you traveled to this point no longer matters, for nothing can be done to change it. What truly matters is what you do with now.

Life is always unpredictable, yet there's something you can count on. The more sincerely and diligently you give yourself to the living of it, the more life will go your way.

In this moment is every possibility. Take responsibility for it all, and bring the best of those possibilities to life.

[Ralph Marston]

Happy family (Look-alike Meter)

2008-06-04T15:16:00.003+02:00

erm... betul ke Farrel ni equally muka mummy n daddy?? hihi.. macam x caya je. tp semua org pun xleh nk detect Farrel nih ikut muka saper.. tak kisahlaa.. yg penting Farrel jd anak yg soleh.aminnn...

Kisah Farrel

2008-05-28T22:02:00.010+02:00

Our Sweetheart

Nk update apa hr ni ek? Owh ye, hr ni 28/05 genap umur Farrel 3 bulan. Times flying so fast, and we realized that Farrel has grown up. Alhamdulillah, Farrel dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik dan x banyak ragam. Berkat doa keluarga di Mesia. Syukur sgt, even terlalu banyak dugaan lately, at least kami berjaya juga harunginya. Malah menjadikan kami lebih tahu untuk berfikir sebelum bertindak atau berkata-kata dan juga mengajar kami erti kehidupan. Kehidupan ni x semuanya manis, adakalanya ada pahitnya. Tp kami selalu berpegang kepada pepatah, yg manis x seharusnya terus ditelan, yg pahit jangan terus dibuang. Kekdg yg pahit itu adalah penawar kepada penyakit umpama ubat yg menyembuhkan penyakit (note: ubat tuh usaha, Allah itu Maha Penyembuh). Alhamdulillah juga kerana kami sentiasa diberikan kekuatan olehNYA. Bersyukur sgt di atas segala limpah dan kurniaNYA. Tidak perlu untuk berdengki di atas kelebihan org lain dan tidak mengambil peluang di atas kelemahan org lain.

Owh ye.. berbalik kepada kisah Farrel, Farrel sekrg dah pandai nk main dan makin lasak. Bila letak atas “tapis” dia, suka je. Boleh pusing 360 deg. Pahlawan la katakan. Farrel = Pahlawan. Skrg pun dh x tdo sekali atas katil ngan kiteorg. Dia tdo sendiri dalam cot dia. And skrg ni dh makin jarang bangun menyusu. 630 pg br merengek mintak susu. Dan skrg ni dia ada inisiatif sendiri, bila lambat kasi susu je dia akan hisap jari dulu. Cup cap cup cap hisap jari2 dia. Skrg dia dh minum susu formula. Itupun sbb dia mcm x puas “breasfeed”. Tp dh jd tabiat dia, kat rumah mmg dia nk “breastfeed”, bila bwk berjalan je dia nk minum susu botol. Cuma sesekali je kalau dia x puas “breastfeed” br kasi dia minum susu botol. Hehe, sng nk bwk berjalan. Mmg mummy ngan daddy Farrel suka berjalan pun. Since dr dlm kandungan lg dh usung dia merata2.

Farrel pun dh pandai nk smbg2 ngan org. Dh pandai cari2 bila org panggil nama dia. Bila kiteorg kol org Mesia, dia mcm merengek2 je nk ckp kat telefon. Bila kasi gagang telefon kat dia senyap je. Suka sgt bila dgr org2 Mesia (atuk, opah, tok daddy, tok nek, auntie wiwin) panggil nama dia kat telefon. Sengih je memanjang. Mulalah dia mencari sapa yg panggil dia. Bangun pagi mesti dh kena terus mandi dia. Klu mandi lambat sikit mulalah nk nangis2. Huhu. Kekdg nk bgn lmbt sikit pun dh x bleh klu dia bangun awal. Lps mandi letak dlm tapis dia then main2 kekdg terus tertdor dlm tapis dia. Hehe, lucu pun ada. Tidor mcm bertafakur. Tangan dua2 mesti kat dada. Tgk lah pic2 dia kat bawah nih. Hehe.

Oklah, nnt update lg. Apapun moga anak mummy and daddy Ahmad Farrel Daniel terus membesar dgn sihat, menjadi anak yg soleh dan anak yg berbakti kepada org tuanya, bangsa dan negara bila dewasa kelak.

Mula-mula syok jerr dia main ngan giraffe

At last dia leh tertido lak..

Family Day!!

2008-05-19T09:41:00.008+02:00

Last Sunday kami sekeluarga pegi picnic kat Jardin Pont Neuf. Hari Sabtu lagi aku dah plan nak buat Family Day ni. excited tulll.. lagipun masa Mother's Day hari tuh takde special celebration aper2 pun, just makan crumble strawberry je so sempena Family Day ni kiranya merangkap celebration tuk Mother's Day sekali la. Thanx Daddy sbb belikan Mummy hadiah tuh ekkk.. Tapi bila Mummy bleh pakai yek?? Huhu.. yg paling bermakna sekali sbb tahun ni 1st time aku sambut Mother's Day setelah aku bergelar Mummy kepada Farrel. Walaupun Farrel tak dpt nak wish aku tp tak kisahla sbb Daddy dia dah mewakilkan Farrel wish aku "Happy Mother's Day". Rasa bangga sgt bila dapat sambut Mother's Day, huhu... tak sangka aku dah jadi ibu. Best sgt dpt tgk Farrel membesar depan mata, tambah-tambah sekarang ni Farrel dah pandai senyum & gelak. Bangun pagi-pagi dah pandai nak ajak org borak-borak dengan dia. Bila nangis jer dengar cam dia sebut "mama"... kadang-kadang dengar cam "mek".. kompius aku, Farrel ni org Perancis ke org Kelate. hehehe.. ape2 pun Mummy n Daddy bahagia sgt sejak-sejak Farrel muncul dlm hidup kami.

Excited tull Mummy niii..

Sedap tak bang???

We are happy family...

Toulouse-Paris-Marrakech-Lyon-Toulouse

2008-05-15T12:15:00.002+02:00

Alhamdulillah kami sekeluarga selamat sampai ke Toulouse 7/5/08 lepas pukul 10 am. Huhu... penat sesangat trip kali ni. Kami bertolak 2/5/08 dr Toulouse ke Paris pukul 8.35am. Pagi2 lagi aku dah bangun goreng cucur ikan bilis tuk bekal dalam flight nanti. Farrel pun tak mandi pagi sbb awal sgt so kami amek keputusan mandikan dia kat hotel nanti. Alhamdulillah walaupun 1st time Farrel naik flight tp dia cool jer.. siap tido berdengkur2 lagi dlm flight. Risau gak aku sbb kalau ikutkan baby tak elok sgt naik flight. Then kami terus menuju ke hotel, kali ni kami stay dekat Libertel Hotel area Moulin Rouge jugak sbb 1st trip dulu pun kami dah stay area Moulin Rouge so takde la terkial-kial sgt nak cari hotel. Petang tuh kami pusing-pusing kat Eiffel Tower jer.. Esoknya kami pegi ke Disneyland. Tapi yg tak bestnyaa kamera lak tertinggal kat hotel, sib baik bawak digi cam. Macam best jer nak masuk Disneyland tapi disebabkan Farrel kecik lagi so kami pusing2 kat Disney Village jer. Then kami pegi La Fayette. Ramai giler org kat sana sampai nak berjalan pun terpaksa berhimpit2. Kat butik LV punyer laaa ramai org, macam ader jualan lelong plak. Giler laa diorg ni borong LV, aku boleh telan air liur jer laaa.. Then kiteorg ke Goncourt beli kristal. Last day kiteorg ke Sacre Coeur sebelum bertolak ke Marrakech. Cantik Sacre Coeur ni, macam Taj Mahal jer.

Farrel bad mood sbb kena kejut dr tido

3 of us

Sacre Couer

4/5/08 kami pun bertolak ke Marrakech dr airport Paris CDG. Flight kami delay lebih kurang sejam so dalam kul 5.30 baru kami bertolak. Beza masa antara France n Morocco adalah 2 jam so lebih kurang kul 7.30 local time kami pun tiba di airport Marrakech. Memula sampai rasa excited sangat. Bangunan kat sana pun Islamic Architecture so ada laa kelainan sket nak dibandingkan dengan architecture bangunan dekat France. Kami telah disambut dan di bawa ke Riad Nomade. Actually Riad nih lebih kurang Home Stay, kebanyakan tourist akan pilih Riad tuk stay sbb ala-ala arab gitu.. Kami pilih tuk stay kat Riad ni pun sbb harganya sangat berpatutan. Memula sampai je kat Riad ni rasa gerun sgt sbb jalan nak ke Riad ni mmg menyeramkan dan terpaksa lalu lorong-lorong gelap. huhu.. Sesampainya kami di Riad, kami disambut ala-ala arab gitu, siap dengan mint tea, kuih muih pastu ade renjis-renjis tangan dgn air wangi. Kalau ade tarian gelek mesti lagi meriah. hihi.. Tapi kami diberitahu oleh tuan punya riad tuh sepatutnya kami tak dibenarkan bawak baby sbb situ macam private area so takut ganggu guest lain nanti. Alhamdulillah diorg takde la strict sgt so diorg benarkan jer kami stay kat situ. Lega sgt sbb Farrel asyik tido jer sepanjang kat Riad sampaikan ade guest lain ckp diorg tak sedar pun ade baby kat Riad tuh. Aku pun risau jugak kalau-kalau ade org yg complaint pasal kiteorg. Lepas kiteorg dibawa melawat Riad, kiteorg pun terus keluar ke Souk tuk makan malam. Wah.. happening sungguh malam dekat Marrakech. Macam dekat Kelantan lak rasanya.. macam pasar malam dekat Padang bas.huhu.. banyak stall-stall makanan n jus oren. Masa tuh rasa macam nak makan semuanyaa..huhu.. tapi sayangnya aku ni bukan pemakan kambing, berderet2 stall yg jual sup kambing. Macam best jerr.. tp bila nampak jer kepala kambing atas gerai diorg terus ilang selera. Kesian hubby aku terpaksa ikut selera aku so x dptla dia merasa kambing Marrakech.

Esoknya kiteorg pusing-pusing lagi kat souk. Souk nih kira cam flea market la tp besar n meriah sangat kedai-kedai kat situ. Antara specialty Morocco yg menarik dijual cam kasut kulit, brg dr kulit, pewter, tudung & kain, brg buatan kayu, carpet, souvenir n mcm2 lagi. Then kiteorg gi pusing2 town naik bas. Actually masa tuh aku dah teringat nak balik Toulouse sbb panas sgt kat situ. Dahla panas pastu berdebu. Kesian lak kat Farrel tp sepanjang hari dia asyik tido jer. Aku rasa Farrel mmg suka tido waktu2 panas sbb kat rumah takde lak dia suka sgt tido. Nasib baik aku bawak sling sbb bahaya sgt kalau bawak stroller sbb kenderaan kat situ sumer laju2 n tak hirau sgt pejalan kaki ni. Kereta lembu, kuda, keldai semuanya guna jalan yg sama. Huhu.. mencabar tull..

Kesimpulannya, trip ke Marrakech ni mmg mencabar. Orang2nya pun takdela baik sgt, suka mintak tips.. bayangkan laa, org kat kedai makan n org yg tolong balut carpet yg kiteorg beli pun mintak tips. Tah aper2. Kiteorg buat x lyn jer.. hehe.. Tapi bg org2 yg suka shopping mmg enjoylaa dkt souk. Yg penting mesti pandai bargain. Mmg bermakna sgt pengalaman ke Marrakech, betul2 mengajar erti kesabaran n at least aku dpt merasai kehidupan org Islam di benua Afrika.

Macam-macam adaaaa

Sedapnyaaa cous cous

Sedapnyaaa oren jus Marrakech

Riad Nomades (pintu merah tu la bilik kiteorg)

Tgh lepak sambil tunggu breakfast

Memang best breakfast kat Riad

Nak shopping aper lak pasni yangg??

Paris & Marrakech Visit

2008-05-09T21:53:00.006+02:00

It's has been a long time since the last update about us etc. Can't remember what exactly the last posting about. Here for the starting we would like to present our picture from our last visit to Paris and Marrakech. Hope all of you will enjoy it. For more pics, please visit our fotopages.

It was really amazing visit that we ever had including the trip to Italy. But it's so tiring us until now. Ok till next time.

Wanna share this good information...

Demam....

2008-04-23T16:37:00.004+02:00

Demam-demam pun still nak update blog. hehe.. maklumla internet baru jer OK. Hari ni hubby aku pegi Paris amek passport Farrel. Alhamdulillah passport Farrel dah siap last week. Dahla aku demam dr semalam lagi, pastu hubby lak takde. Sib baik Farrel tak banyak meragam, dia asyik tido jer hari ni. Agaknya dia faham kot mummy dia demam. Tataulaa apesal kebelakangan ni aku asyik demam jer. Dahla bila demam mesti menggigil2, tuh yg paling aku tak tahan. Dulu-dulu setahun sekali pun payah nak demam. Maybe weather kat sini x sesuai kot dengan aku. Kebelakangan ni pun muka aku kering sgt. Dah try letak macam2 lotion tp still kering gak. Nak kata cuaca panas sgt pun xde lah jugak. Asyik mendung jer. Okaylaa.. aku nak tuko pampers Farrel. Tak sabo nak tunggu daddy balik malam ni. Boring laa daddy takde..asyik tido jer sepanjang hari ni sbb badan lemah. Harap cepat2la kebah demam ni n x de jangkit kat sesapa exp Farrel. Farrel kuat kannn!!.. jgn sakit2 tauuu!!!

Baby Farrel yg botak!!

2008-04-14T18:48:00.009+02:00

Hari ni hubby aku telah membotakkan kepala hero kami. Huhu.. Farrel nampak bulat jerr dengan kepalanya yg botak tuh, dah macam Karim Benzema jer mummy tengok. Actually dah lama niat nak cukur rambut Farrel tapi baru hari ni kiteorg menjalankan operasi membotakkan kepala dia. Masa hari ketujuh kiteorg dah gunting sikit rambut dia tapi tak boleh nak botakkan sebab masa tuh still winter so kesian pulak dia takde rambut time sejuk2 ni. Masa mula-mula nak cukur rambut dia Farrel punyelaa mengamuk sakan tapi akhirnya kiteorg berjaya jugak cukur rambut dia sampai botak sbb masa cukur rambut dia, aku upah susu so takdelaa dia bergerak2 sgt.

Daddy tgh cukur rambut Farrel

Hensemnyaa anak daddy!!!

A day in Barcelona

2008-04-12T21:23:00.010+02:00

Jumaat lepas (11 April 2008) Mummy, Daddy & Farrel pegi jalan-jalan kat Barcelona. Actually planning asal nak pegi hari Selasa tapi ditunda ke hari Jumaat atas sebab2 tertentu. Alhamdulillah sampai jugak kami ke Barcelona walaupun trip kali ni memang gamble abis sbb kiteorg follow sign board jer. Kiteorg bertolak dr Toulouse lebih kurang pukul 8 pagi, actually nak bertolak awal tapi terlewat bangun pulak so pukul 8.00 baru bergerak dr IAS. Awal-awal lagi hubby aku dah kaji peta nak ke Barcelona tapi yg kelakarnya kiteorg tak ikut pun jalan yg hubby aku kaji tuh. kiteorg main redah jer, lagipun guna highway so straight jer sampai ke Barcelona. Sampai jer kat city center lebih kurang pukul 11.40am, kiteorg pun mulalah usha tempat nak parking. Huhu.. punyelaa mahal parking dekat situ. Tapi kiteorg gamble jer parking dekat tepi jalan n kiteorg just bayar for 2 hours (sejam = 2.60euro). Kalau ikutkan maximum hours parking kat situ 2 jam jer tp kiteorg belasah parking sampai ke petang. Nasib baikla tak kena saman. Tak banyak sgt tempat yg kiteorg melawat sbb kiteorg tak overnight kat situ. First sekali kiteorg melawat Sagrada Familia then kiteorg ke Parc Guell. Kiteorg terpaksa menapak lebih kurang 1.3km drp metro station ke Parc Guell. huhu.. berpeluh ketiak jugakla.. dahla kena panjat bukit, nasib baikla cantik tempat tu. Last sekali kiteorg ke La Ramblas sebelum bergerak balik ke Toulouse pukul 5.00ptg. Alhamdulillah dalam sesak2 bandar Barcelona tuh kiteorg berjaya jugak cari jalan balik ke Toulouse. Kiteorg tiba kat Toulouse lbh kurang pukul 9mlm. Alhamdulillah, Farrel pun sporting sgt sepanjang kat Barcelona.

Sagrada Familia.. ntah bila nk siap..

Parc Guell.. cantik tmpt ni...

Hubby.. dekat Parc Guell gak..

Actually aku tulis nih masa mula-mula kiteorg tiba kat Toulouse tp masa tuh aku takde blog lagi. So ni aku copy n paste jer la.. tetiba rasa rindu sgt kat org2 Malaysia. Tak sabar rasanya nak balik Malaysia. Cepat jer masa berlalu, dah hampir 10 bulan aku n hubby berada di bumi toulouse ni.

Tepat pukul 11.45, Cik Limah, kak Niza dan Linda tiba di rumah. Masa tu kami sekeluarga sedang sibuk menyiapkan hidangan unutuk dijamu kepada keluarga suamiku sebelum kami bertolak ke Airport Penang. Hidangan hari ini adalah kari ayam + betik, ikan bawal sweet sour, ikan bakar & sayur. Pencuci mulut pulak moist choc cake & pudding cocktail. Huhu… tgh2 malam aku dengan hajar berjaga tuk buat kek & pudding. Maklumla suami tersayang teringin nak makan kek coklat.

Lebih kurang pukul 1.00 tghari, rombongan suamiku pun tiba.heheh.. macam rombongan meminang pulak. Rupa2nya diaorg lewat sikit sbb tunggu mama & adik2 aku datang dari ipoh. So apa lagi, kiteorang pun start la menghidang makanan dan seterusnya menjamu selera. Laku jugak ikan bawal sweet sour aku..heheh.. tp yang sedihnya suami aku makan sket jer kek yang aku pulun buat dgn hajar semlm.. ye laa sbb kenyang makan nasi so dah tak berapa jalan laa kek yang aku buat tu.

Suamiku dgn family dia bertolak dulu drp kiterang sbb suami aku nak pegi tukar duit dekat bank. Kiteorang janji jumpe dekat airport nanti. Cik Limah, Kak Niza & Linda follow kiteorang nanti. Lebih kurang pukul 4.00ptg, abah baru balik drp meeting dkt Selama. Kiteorang pun bersiap2 laa & bertolak dalam pukul 4.30 ptg. Abah bawak Honda City & adik pulak bawak wira. Ada ke patut dia suruh aku bawak Wira tu..huhu..last2 minit macam ni plak nak dera aku.. So rombongan belah aku terdiri drp abah, mama, aku, kakak, adam, opah, adik, maklang, Hajar, Kak Niza, Linda & Cik Limah. Rombongan belah suamiku tadi terdiri drp ayah, mama, suamiku,tok, awen, toklang, Nadia, Natasya, Nadirah, Nazim, Nafiz & Dewi. Suamiku drive keta dia & ayah lak drive keta mama.

Kiteorang sampai kat airport lebih kurang pukul 5.45ptg. Masa tuh pakndak tgh beli tiket dia dgn Emi tuk ke KL sama flight dgn aku. Rombongan suamiku belum sampai lagi masa tuh. Tak sangka Pakndak cakap Emi pun dapat offer further Degree dekat UK. Huhu.. berkampung laa kami dekat Negara Europe nanti. Alhamdulillah at least this year ramai jugak sedara mara kiteorang yg success n dpt offer menarik. Hopefully lepas ni ramai lagi yang menjejak langkah kami.

Jam dah menunjukkan pukul 6.15ptg tapi batang hidung suamiku tak nampak pun lagi. Huhu.. susah hati gak aku sbb kalau boleh aku nak check in luggage awal & bolehla request window seat. Alhamdulillah pukul 6.20ptg suami ku tiba dgn rombongan dia. Lega sket rasanya. Then kiterang terus check in luggage. Risaunya tak lepas sbb beg kiterang besar2. Memang sah tak lepas!! 73.9kg. Huhu… cuak gak rasa sbb kalau diikutkan kena bayar RM150 tuk satu kg yang lebih. Had sepatutnya lebih kurang 50kg jer. So kiteorg check in jer beg baju & barang2 lain. Beg makanan terpaksa la punggah kemudian.

Pakcik & family, Long & family pun tiba. So bertambah ramaila rombongan kami yang dah sedia ramai. Ditambah pulak member2 aku (nad, cyn, fizah & Pijat. Thanks korang!) yang bersusah payah datang. Huhu meriah airport dengan family kiteorg yang besar. Hati pun dah mula rasa sayu bila tgk wajah2 tersayang. Harap sangat dpt balik next year sbb aku tak sanggup nak berpisah lama2 dgn insan2 tersayang kat mesia.

Lebih kurang pukul 8.00pm, kiteorang pun mula la bergerak ke balai berlepas. Bila kiteorang toleh jer ke belakang, punye la ramai rombongan kiteorg. Macam nak hantar pegi Mekah jer. Bermula la episode syahdu & pilu macam dalam cerekerama TV3 tuh. Tapi nih real punye. Bile start bersalam-salaman jer mula laa berjurai2 air mata aku & suamiku gugur ke bumi. Family kiteorang pun sama naik jugak buat drama kat airport tuh. Tapi memang syahdu sungguh. Tak pernah lagi aku rasa sesedih ni seumur hidup aku. Tambah2 bila aku bersalam dgn warga2 emas, jauh di sudut hatiku berdoa agar aku berpeluang lagi menatap wajah mereka sekembalinya aku ke Malaysia nanti. Pesan mama, abah, ayah, tok, opah, & yang lain akan tersemat dalam hati kami anakandamu / cucuandamu, insyaallah. Pergi kami ke sana hanya dengan harapan akan pulang bersama kejayaan dan ahli keluarga baru, insyaallah. Tidak sesekali kami akan kecewakan harapan ayah bonda sekalian.

Outing at Jardin de Pont Neuf.

2008-04-05T00:26:00.013+02:00

Jumaat lepas kami satu family pegi outing dekat jardin area Pont Neuf. Maklumla cuaca pun elok sbb jarang2 sekrg ni cuaca elok, asyik hujan jer. Sekrg ni boleh dikatakan hari2 kiteorg keluar jalan2. Daddy Farrel asyik ajak keluar jer sbb boring duduk kat rumah. Baru seminggu cuti dah boring, hihihi.. macam mana laa nak abiskan cuti lagi sebulan, jawabnya hari2 la kiteorg melawat Carrefour Labege walaupun tatau dah nak beli apa kat sana. Aku nih yg tak habis pantang pun dah tak macam org pantang sbb merata dah berjalan. kalau kat mesia mesti kena berkurung sampai 44 hari. Best sgt sekrg nih sbb tiap kali keluar mesti makcik2 France intai2 Farrel pastuh sengeh2. Pastu mesti tanye kiteorg umo Farrel.. asyik duk sebut "petite bebe...petite bebe"...hihi.. glemer tul kiteorg sejak ader Farrel ni. Masa kat Paris hari tuh pun ramai jer yg nak tolong kiteorg sbb bawak baby. huhu.. baik2 jugak org Paris ni. Kat sini aku attach sikit gambo masa keluar outing ke jardin. Best tul lepak kat situ bila cuaca OK. Siap makan aiskrim cornetto lagik. Kesian Farrel sbb Mummy n Daddy dia dating sambil makan aiskrim, dia dapat puting kosong jer. hihi.. Takper Farrel, nanti bila Farrel besar sikit Mummy n Daddy belanja aiskrim ekk.. boleh picnic selalu.. tak sabonyee tunggu dia besar, dah leh jalan. Mesti dia dah berlari2 kat park tuh. Nanti bolehla dia main bola ngan daddy.

28 March lepas genap sebulan usia Farrel. Pejam celik pejam celik dah sebulan berlalu, huhu.. mcm tak cayer je. Kejap jer dah besar anak mummy. Sekrg ni Farrel dah tembam dan montel sket. Makin besar hero mummy sekrg, berat Farrel sekrg pun dah 4.70kg. Alhamdulillah, Farrel membesar dengan sihat. Semlm mummy ngan daddy bawak Farrel pegi jumpe Dr Balg tuk cucuk BCG. Sib baik masa cucuk tuh Farrel behave jer, nangis pun kejap jer. Risau jugak dia demam lepas kena cucuk tp Dr Balg cakap tak demam. So the next appointment is 29 April for the next injection.

Actually kiteorg baru balik dr Paris last Monday. Kiteorg bertolak dr Toulouse hari Sabtu (29 Mac) pukul 9.20am. Trip kali ni kiteorg pegi naik train iDTGV. Bosan jugakla sbb 5 jam habis masa dalam train jer. Nasib baik Farrel tido sepanjang jalan, bgn kejap2 jer nak menyusu. Risau gak kalau dia meragam dalam train tuh. Aku bawak pasta jer sebagai bekal kiteorg. Kiteorg tiba dekat Paris pukul 2.30 petang. Alhamdulillah cuaca elok walaupun lebih sejuk berbanding dengan Toulouse. Kiteorg pun pergi check in hotel dulu dekat Moulin Rouge. Okay jugakla hotel dekat situ sbb kawasan situ happening, ala-ala Bukit Bintang gitu. Moulin Rouge ni pun one of interesting place dekat Paris, terkenal dengan ”KangKang Dance”. Yg paling best hotel kiteorg sebelah jer kedai makanan halal ala-ala KFC. Huhu.. lama dah tak makan KFC, sib baik ada gak Chicken Point yg halal so bolehla melepaskan kerinduan pada KFC. Lepas jer check in kiteorg pun memulakan agenda melawat Paris. Memula kiteorg ke Rambuteau tuk beli souvenir. Puas jugakla pusing cari kedai Etoile tuh. Sib baik jumpe, kiteorg borong sakan kat situ sbb souvenir situ murah2. Then ingat nak singgah kat station Goncourt sbb satu line dengan station Rambuteau tapi byk lak barang yg kiteorg borong dkt Etoile tadi. So maybe next trip lak kiteorg ke Goncourt tuk borong crystal. Then, drp Rambuteau kiteorg bertolak ke station Bir Hakiem tuk tgk Eiffel Tower. Memang kiteorg bajet nak gi amek gambar kat Eiffel Tower waktu malam. So masa kiteorg sampai tuh dah dekat pukul 7 lebih. Farrel lak asyik tido jer sepanjang jalan. Tapi bila sampai bawah Eiffel Tower dia bangun nak susu. Dapat jugakla dia tgk Eiffel Tour. Hihi.. Wah.. kagum betul aku dengan Eiffel Tower. Cantik sgt.. Dari jauh nampak lebih kurang Tokyo Tower tp bila dekat Eiffel Tower mmg lebih cantik. Teringat aku masa dekat Jepun, kiteorg pergi Tokyo Tower masa malam krismas so ramai la yg berdating kat bawah Tower tuh. Huhu.. tercapai gak hasrat aku nak dating bawah Eiffel Tower dgn hubby tersayang.. opss lupe lak Farrel pun ader. Kiteorg pun lepak kat situ sampai pukul 9 lebih sbb kesian dekat Farrel dah penat plus sejuk sgt kat situ. Then kiteorg pun balik hotel dan menjamu selera di Chicken Point. Huhu.. puas hati sgt sbb rasa ayam goreng dia pun mmg ala-ala KFC.

Esoknya lebih kurang pukul 10 pagi kiteorg bertolak ke La Defense. La Defense nih takdela best sgt tapi terkenal dengan bangunan yg moden2. So kiteorg pegi amek gambar kejap jer kat situ, lagipun hujan renyai2. Sib baik kiteorg bawak stroller Farrel sbb ader rain cover. Then kiteorg ke Champs Elysees tuk amek gambar dekat Napolean Bridge dan Royal Palace. Pastuh kiteorg pun jalan2 dekat Champs Elysees yg glemer dengan butik LV yg besar tuh. Huhu.. terliur jer tgk handbag LV yg harga ribu-ribuan tuh. Kalaula hubby aku sekaya Dato' K, bolehla aku pau beg LV 4-5 bijik. Bolehla buat collection macam Siti.hihi..

Then, kiteorg pun meneruskan tour kiteorg ke Musee du Louvre. Kat situ kiteorg amek gambar kat luar jer sbb rasanya kalau masuk muzium tuh satu hari pun tak habis pusing. Muzium ni glemer sbb ade gambo Mona Lisa yg original dan muzium terbesar di dunia. Tapi takperlaa maybe next time kiteorg masuk sbb Farrel pun kecik lagi so risau jugak kalau dia nampak benda2 yg tak elok sbb dalam muzium tuh pun banyak mumia. Pastuh kiteorg pun balik ke hotel semula sbb hujan renyai2, risau gak kalau2 Farrel demam nanti. For lunch, kiteorg makan dekat Chicken Corner yg ala-ala Chicken Point gak tp 10 minit jalan kaki dr hotel. Yg bestnya sepanjang2 jalan Moulin Rouge tuh mmg banyak kedai makanan halal. Dekat Chicken Corner ni kiteorg makan nasi briyani. Sedap jugakla tp yg bestnya kiteorg order sepinggan jer sbb banyak sgt. Sepinggan pun harga 7euro tp puas hati sbb boleh share 2 org.

Petang tuh kiteorg just jalan2 dekat Moulin Rouge. Kat situ byk kedai souvenir, harga pun takde la mahal sgt. Kiteorg plan nak booking hotel area Moulin Rouge jugak for next trip. Thanx Nurul sbb inform pasal hotel area situ. Memang puas hati sbb makan senang n tak jauh dengan tempat2 menarik. Last day kiteorg kat Paris, kiteorg just ke embassy Malaysia. Lama jugakla lepak dekat embassy sbb lepas settlekan passport n surat beranak Farrel kiteorg borak2 dengan kak Yus. Baik2 sgt org2 embassy. Alhamdulillah dah settle pun passport Farrel so kena tunggu lagi sebulan tuk collect dekat embassy. Passport Farrel amek masa sebulan nak siap sbb diorg kena hantar ke Embassy Malaysia dkt London tuk proses. Huhu.. sekrg Farrel dah ade 2 surat beranak, Perancis dan Malaysia. Memula ingat nak singgah La Fayette sebelum ke train station tapi malas lak sbb barang banyak nak angkut. So kiteorg terus ke station, lepak kat situ sampai pukul 5. Lebih kurang pukul 11mlm kiteorg pun tiba di Toulouse. Huhu.. bosan sesangat dalam train. Maybe next trip kiteorg naik flight je ke Paris, lagipun harga tiket lebih kurang jer. Lega sesangat bila dah selamat sampai ke rumah walaupun lapo sesangat. Sib baik ader nasi dalam peti ais so aku pun buatla nasi goreng koboi tuk aku n hubby isi perut.hihi...

Alhamdulillah syukur sesangat perjalanan kiteorg selamat walaupun banyak jugakla dugaan dan rintangan yg terpaksa kiteorg tempuh..hehehe.. macam citer Pekin Express lak. Paling mencabar bila terpaksa angkut stroller naik turun tangga, huhu.. dah la aku tak abis pantang lagik. Memang lasak betul aku masa dekat Paris. Kalau la mak aku tau.. hihi.. habislaa.. Syukur sgt Farrel sihat dan sporting sepanjang kat Paris. Rasanya anak aku nanti mesti kaki jalan gak macam mummy n daddy dia. Ye la sejak dalam perut lagik aku dah usung merata.

So for the next trip aku dah hubby tgh survey tiket flight n hotel yg murah. Kiteorg cadang next trip kiteorg nak ke Amsterdam n UK terus drp Paris, insyaallah. Bolehla aku pegi visit kawan n cousins aku dekat sana. Lagipun time nih jer hubby aku free sebelum dia start practical. Tapi nih sumer baru dlm planning, sumer nya bergantung pada bajet. Okayla nih aku ada attach sket gambar2 dekat Paris. Yg tak bestnya kebanyakan gamba amek pakai digi cam jer sbb hujan. huhu.. dan yg paling tak best, tak banyak gambar kiteorg bertiga sbb risau nak suruh org2 dekat situ tolong amekkan gambar. So kiteorg pun bergilir2 amek gambar.

Dalam train on the way ke Paris. Farrel syok jer tido sepanjang jalan

2008-03-21T09:37:00.007+01:00

Hari nih dah masuk hari ke 23 aku berpantang. huhu... pantang pun macam tak pantang jer.. yg lebih tepat "pantang jumpe", semua aku makan. hihi.. hari tuh aku makan bayam, lepas tuh terus demam teruk. Tuhla, org Malaysia semua dah pesan jgn makan sayur tapi aku makan jugak. Sbb aku tatau pun bayam tuh sejuk. Sampai menggigil2 badan aku n rasanya time tuh suhu badan dah lebih 40 deg. Kesian kat Farrel sbb mlm aku demam tuh dia macam tak puas jer menyusu sbb badan aku kering sgt. Susu pun maybe tak banyak so dia pun mula la meragam, tidur pun tak nyenyak. Lagi kesian kat hubby aku kena jaga aku n dia malam tuh. Dahla esoknya ade kelas. Tok kat Malaysia punye la risau sampai nangis2, huhu... kesiannya... nyesal lak bgtau dia sbb buat dia risau jer. Tapi yg kelakarnya Awin ckp tok tunggu sayap tumbuh sbb nak terbang dtg sini. hehe.. nasib baik tak tumbuh, kalau tak mesti dah sampai kat Toulouse ni.

Sejak demam hari tuh, aku dah tak berani nak makan sayur. So aku gantilah dengan makan buah2an supaya tak kena sembelit. Risau jugak sbb org kata masa dlm pantang ni senang kena sembelit. Tapi masa gi jumpe doc hari tuh dia ckp flu n ade virus so dalam 2-3 hari akan baik.tp kalau x baik kena gi jumpe dia semula. Alhamdulillah aku dah sihat leas makan ubat yg dia suggest.Farrel pun dah OK dan tak meragam lagi. Dia pun makin kerap menyusu sekrg, kdg2 sampai dekat sejam dia menyusu. huhu.. sabo jer la.. kadang2 fikir nak jugak campur ngan susu formula tapi risau pulak nanti dia dah taknak susu badan so biarla fully breastfeeding. Bknnya ape, risau kalau aku demam or x sihat n susu x banyak, kesian plak dia tak puas menyusu.

Teringat aku masa 1st week nyusukan dia, rasa macam nak nangis jer sbb masa tuh sakit sgt. Kadang2 rasa nak give up jer sbb tak tahan. Tak sangka aku bila 1st time susukan baby mmg sakit mcm tuh, selama nih aku tgk org lain relax jer susukan baby diorg. Alhamdulillah sekrg everything getting better dan takdela sesakit mula2 dulu. Yang penting kita kena sentiasa kuat semangat dan pk yg positif supaya x give up. Memang mencabar betul bila bab menyusu ni. Masa mula2 dulu, dahla sakit lepas tuh Farrel pulak kerap sgt menyusu. Kalau tak sabar dah lama give up. Bila time bangun malam nak menyusu tuh lagilaa mencabar. Alhamdulillah sekrg aku dah enjoy bangun malam n susukan dia. Aku pun sekrg banyak2 makan oat n susu tuk produce lebih banyak susu dalam badan.

Erm.. next week 29 - 31/3/08, aku, hubby n Farrel akan ke Paris tuk apply passport Farrel kat embassy. Hopefully everything OK dan Farrel sihat n x meragam. Risau jugak nak bawak dia jauh2 ni tapi macamana pun kena pegi jugak, kalau tak nanti Farrel takleh balik Malaysia (actually aku yg beria2 nk pergi, risau plak klu Azizul pegi sorg). huhu.. Kiteorg akan lepak kat rumah kak yus (one of embassy staf). Actually kiteorg jumpe kak yus ni sebelum dtg sini kat embassy France kat KL. borak2 kat situ n tuko2 email. huhu.. bukannye kenal sgt tapi dengan muka tak malu nak lepak rumah dia plak. Segan mmg segan tapi dia yg beria ajak tido umah dia so kiteorg on jer la. Harap Farrel behave la nanti kat rumah dia. huhu.. Trip kali nih mmg target nak buat passport Farrel jer so takdela jalan mana sgt. Maybe pegi Eiffel Tower n tempat2 lain yg area situ jer. Nanti next trip bila nak pegi ambik passport Farrel lepas sebulan baru nak stay lama sikit n jalan2. Lagipun masa tuh Farrel dah besar sikit so tak la risau sgt bawak dia jalan2.

Okayla, aku stop sini dulu sbb si kecik dah bangun. huhu.. seperti biasa kena susukan dia n tuko pampers dia. Nih aku share sikit informations pasal breastfeeding.

Makanan yg di galakkan; lobak putih, semua jenis ikan, ikan yu (tak penah makan lagi, ikan sardin, tuna, salmon, kurma, jantun pisang, kucai+tauhu+taugeh, petola, kentang rebus, longan kering (air mata kucing), roti, biskut marie, daun turi, pegaga, kacang buncis, sayur sawi, cheese, planta...

Ahmad Farrel Daniel around 17 days

Nih sikit sebanyak sejarah nama Ahmad Farrel Daniel, moga Farrel besar nanti bolehla aku cerita kat dia macam mana boleh wujudnya nama Farrel ni.

Ahmad membawa maksud "Yang Terpuji", Farrel membawa maksud "Pahlawan" dan Daniel adalah nama salah seorang nabi. Aku dan hubby pun tak pasti kenapa kami berkenan sangat dengan nama ni, tp bila terjumpa je nama Farrel ni terus aku masuk dalam list nama pilihan kiteorang. Lagipun aku mmg cari nama yg pangkalnya mula huruf F disebabkan keluarga aku semuanya mula dengan huruf F. Lagipun Farrel anak sulung jadi aku n hubby harap biarlah dia jadi "pahlawan @ hero" dalam keluarga dan dapat menjaga adik2nya nanti. Pada mulanya, aku n hubby nak letak Muhammad tapi bila pk balik hubby aku nama Azizul so biarlah pangkal namanya pun A jugak so sbb tuh kiteorg letak Ahmad, biar simple dan pendek sikit. Nama Daniel pulak mmg aku berkenan dr dulu lagi sejak belum kawin. Hubby aku pun berkenan jugak dgn nama ni so kami pun letak la jugak nama Daniel ni. So terciptalah nama Ahmad Farrel Daniel, putera Mummy n Daddy yg tersayang. Ni aku senaraikan nama2 yang aku short list kan masa aku tgh pregnant dulu. Pening jugak masa nak pilih nama untuk Farrel dulu.

Zareef – periang
Elman – knowledge
Emir – to command
Haikal – pokok yg besar dan subur
Harith – kuat / berusaha
Hilman – kesopanan / kesabaran
Ehsan/ihsan – kebaikan
Ilman – berilmu
Na’il – penyelesai masalah
Nawfal – generous
Riyadh – taman
Farrel – pahlawan
Arman – harapan / aspirasi
Eidlan – Eidlan (Adil)
Ilmi – berilmu

Our 1st Anniversary.. 090308

2008-03-12T11:03:00.014+01:00

Alhamdulillah, tanggal 9 March 08 lepas genaplah setahun usia perkahwinan aku dan Azizul. Tak sangka dah setahun kami bersama mengharung onak duri rumah tangga. Rasa baru jer duduk bersanding dan diarak sbg raja sehari. Masih terbayang lagi keriuhan dan kemeriahan kenduri kawin kiteorg dulu. Huhu.. tak sangka, sekarang dah setahun berlalu. Perkahwinan yg terbina atas dasar pilihan keluarga, alhamdulillah menjanjikan sebuah kebahagian. Terima kasih Opah, Tok & Pah Limah yg menemukan dan menyatukan kami dengan ikatan perkahwinan.

Gift for our 1st Anniversary
Azizul.. kalau dulu kami cumalah kawan sepermainan semasa kecil, tak sangka sekrang bergelar suami dan bapa kepada anakku. Sekitar usiaku 7 - 12 tahun, kami tinggal di kejiranan yang sama. Tiap petang aku akan menjengah ke kampung belakang untuk bermain dengan kawan baik aku, Ani dan Iwan. Masa tuh aku takdelah rapat sgt dgn Azizul. Lagipun dulu dia gelarkan aku "rambut tebuan". huhu.. sabo jer laaaa.. padahal rambut aku masa tuh punye lah cun, kalah rambut kajol. Masih segar dalam ingatan aku kenangan bila aku jatuh basikal betul2 depan rumah dia dan nenek dia yg letakkan ubat kat lutut aku. Sebelum tuh aku punye la takut sbb nenek dia macam garang jer. Tak sangka sekrg dah jadi nenek mertua aku yg sgt sporting. Dulu, kecoh jugak satu kampung bila Azizul kena ikat kat tiang luar rumah dia sbb nakal sgt (pegi mandi sungai tak bgtau kat tok). hehee.. sorry bang, pecah rahsia abg. huhu.. padan muka.. :P . jangan la Farrel nanti nakal cam abg.

Tapi semuanya berubah sekitar bulan September 2006 bila Pah Limah dan Opah aku merencanakan untuk menyatukan aku dan Azizul. Masa tu kami masing2 dah ada pasangan masing2 tapi apakan daya family tak merestui. Tuhan lebih mengetahui apa yg terbaik untuk kita dan alhamdulillah aku telah membuat keputusan yg tepat bila menurut kata family untuk memilih Azizul sbg teman sehidup semati. Pertama kali bertemu setelah terpisah lebih kurang 12 tahun adalah masa hari nak beli cincin pertunangan. Masa tuh Azizul pakai braces. huhu.. masa tuh aku asyik mengutuk jer sbb buruk betul tgk dia pakai braces tuh. Dahla kurus sgt nak dibandingkan dengan aku, risau jer bila dia jalan dgn aku org lain akan ingat dia adik aku. Yang kelakarnya kiteorg pergi lepak kat pintu maasuk zoo untuk bincang pasal barang2 hantaran. macam takde port lain jer..

Tanggal 11/11/06, kami pun mengikat tali pertunangan walaupun sebulan sebelum tuh aku berangkat ke Jepun atas urusan kerja. Sepanjang aku di Jepun kami hanya berhubung melalui telefon. Seminggu sebelum bertunang aku pulang ke Malaysia dan sehari selepas bertunang aku kembali semula ke Jepun selama 2 bulan. Jadi kami memang hanya berhubung melalui telefon dan langsung tak bercinta macam orang lain. Sekembalinya aku ke Malaysia, keluarga dah mengaturkan untuk menyatukan kami pada 9/3/07. Jadi, aku hanya mempunyai masa 2 bulan untuk membuat persiapan perkahwinan. Sepanjang membuat persiapan tuhla aku menjadi semakin rapat dengan bakal suamiku dan semakin mengenalinya.

Entering new phase of life
Tanggal 9/3/07 pukul 6.20 ptg, sahlah aku bergelar isteri kepada Azizul Abdul Karim. Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat Ilahi dan saat itulah baru aku mula jatuh cinta pada suami ku sendiri. cheewaahhh.. jiwang le pulak. sbb masa tuh Azizul dah tak pakai braces, nampakla comel dan hensem sikit suamiku. hehe.. Tapi yg kelakarnya masa akad nikah tuh sepatutnya dijadualkan selepas solat asar tapi suamiku tiba lebih kurang pukul 6 ptg. Sepanjang menunggu ketibaan suamiku, tok imam dan tok kadi asyik membebel2 sampaikan tok kadi telefon suamiku suruh cepat sikit. Huhu.. buat malu pengantin perempuan jer. Dahlah masa tuh ade 3 lagi pasangan lain yg semuanya terpaksa menunggu suamiku sebelum tok kadi mula membaca khutbah.

Happiness Day
Tak sangka kini genap setahun ikatan perkahwinan kami dan pada mulanya memang banyak dugaan yg terpaksa kami tempuh dan alhamdulillah berkat kesabaran semuanya dipermudahkan Tuhan. Tak sangka laluan hidupku semudah ini dan aku bersyukur dengan segala nikmat yg dianugerahkan Tuhan. Kini, hidupku makin ceria dengan kehadiran putera sulung kami Farrel. Walaupun pada mulanya kami tak merancang tuk dapat baby dalam masa terdekat tapi kita hanya merancang, Tuhan lebih mengetahui yg terbaik buat kita. Dengan kehadiran Azizul dan Farrel dalam hidupku, terasa sempurna diriku sebagai wanita dan aku berazam untuk menjadi isteri dan ibu yg terbaik buat 2 buah hati kesayanganku, insya Allah.

Lovely Family Forever... Insya Allah...

Anugerah Ilahi.. Ahmad Farrel Daniel

2008-03-10T14:49:00.016+01:00

Alhamdulillah, hari ni dah masuk hari ke 12 usia anakandaku yg tercinta, Ahmad Farrel Daniel bin Azizul. Disebabkan ni 1st posting selepas aku deliver so aku rasa better aku share sikit pengalaman bersalin yg sememangnya sentiasa segar dalam ingatan dan insya Allah tak mungkin aku lupakan. Pengalaman yg paling manis dalam hidup aku serta mematangkan aku.

Malam 26 Februari 2008, aku tak dapat tidur nyenyak sebab pinggang dan kaki aku sebelah kanan sakit tapi aku tak rasa tuh tanda2 nak bersalin. Aku ingatkan sakit2 biasa je. Tapi bila bangun pagi ade sikit stain n blood keluar (sikit sgt) so aku mula dah rasa berdebar2. Aku pun bgtau hubby aku & dia pun cepat2 suruh aku call weeda tanye tuh tanda nak bersalin ke tak. Weeda ckp mmg tuh tanda2 nak bersalin sbb masa dia nak bersalin kan Muaz pun keluar mcm tuh jugak. Aku n hubby pun tunggu lagi beberapa jam sebelum buat keputusan ke hospital. Aku suruh jugak hubby aku pegi kelas wpun dia mcm berat hati je nak tinggalkan aku srg2 kat rumah. Pukul 10.15 am aku call hubyy suruh balik sbb aku dah mula rasa macam ade contraction. So lebih kurang pukul 12.30 kiteorg pun bertolak la ke Hospital Joseph Ducuing. Bila sampai je kat hospital, midwife ckp baru terbuka 1cm so dia ckp boleh balik rumah dulu. Aku n hubby pun balik la dulu sbb menurut kata midwife tuh 1st baby selalunya amek masa lama tuk deliver. Tapi dia pesan ape2 hal dtg balik ke hospital. Masa tuh aku dah mula berdebar2 sbb aku tau tak lama lagi aku akan bergelar ibu. huhu...

Bila balik ke rumah, contraction makin kerap dan makin sakit. Tuhan je yg tahu betapa sakitnya contraction nak bersalin. Selang masa contraction pun lebih kurang 5 minit. Pukul 7.30 mlm aku ajak hubby pegi hospital semula sbb aku dah tak tahan sangat nak menanggung sakit contraction yg semakin kerap. Alhamdulillah walaupun sakit, aku masih boleh bertahan dan berjalan sampai ke wad. Midwife yg check aku tuh ckp baru terbuka 2 cm. Bayangkan la, dah berapa jam aku tahan sakit baru terbuka 2 cm. Aku mula terpk tahan ke aku nak tunggu sampai terbuka 10cm. huhu.. nak meraung je rasa tapi aku banyak2 sabar dan baca doa nabi yunus. UnTuk pujuk diri sendiri, aku sentiasa pk yg positif.Tapi disebabkan contraction aku yg kerap, midwife tuh bawak aku masuk labor room. Dalam hati aku dah tak sabar nak suruh dia letak epidural tuk kurangkan sakit tp lebih kurang pukul 3 pagi baru pakar anesthesis datang dan letak epidural. Masa tuh rasa lega yg amat. Sebelum tuh, ade jugak midwife tuh masukkan sejenis drug tuk lalikan aku tp dlam keadaan lali pun aku still dpt rasa sakit contraction. Lepas pakar anesthesis bagi suntikan epidural baru aku dapat tidur nyenyak n hubby aku pun dapat jugak tidur. Kalau tak, kesian dia kena berjaga sepanjang malam. Tak dapat aku bayangkan kalau hubby aku takde bersama mesti aku tak mampu nak harung semua ni sorang2. Sekurang2nya bila ade hubby kat sebelah semangat aku tak lumpuh dan berkobar2 nak bersalin wpun tenaga makin kurang.

Alhamdulillah, lebih kurang pukul 7 pagi, dah terbuka 10cm so it's time to push baby out. Masa tuh midwife yg semlm dah kena tuko shift so masuk la midwife yg baru yg lebih muda. Midwife yg sebelum tuh lebih kurang sebaya mak aku n lembut sgt. Tapi dia tak pandai speaking so sepanjang malam dia ckp France n kiteorg pun buat2 la faham. Nasib baik midwife yg bakal sambut baby aku ni boleh la speaking sikit2 n tgk gaya pun cam cergas jer orgnya. Harap baby aku pun secergas dia la nanti. Lebih kurang pukul 7.30, aku pun startla push baby keluar sbb dah rasa sgt2 baby tuh engaged. Satu lagi ujian dr tuhan bila midwife tuh ckp kepala baby aku duduk dalam keadaan senget. Sepatutnya dia tunduk tapi baby aku landing baik punyaaa dekat tepi pelvis so proses nak keluarkan dia pun jadi sukar sikit. Aku hampir give up jugak sbb dah byk hilang tenaga. Tapi aku sentiasa kuatkan semangat demi anak n hubby sbb pengorbanan seorg ibu n isteri tak ternilai harganya. Masa tuh ada jugak sesekali aku terpk yg buruk tapi aku buang jauh2 dan sentiasa ingat Allah. Hubby mmg tunggu sepanjang proses aku nak bersalin tuh n aku tak sangka dia seberani tuh. Alhamudulillah, tepat pukul 8.25 pagi lahirlah putera sulung kami Ahmad Farrel Daniel bin Azizul. Allahuakbar.. syukur sgt2 semuanya selamat walaupun aku kehilangan banyak darah. Saat yg tak dapat aku lupakan bila midwife tuh letak baby atas dada aku dan masih lagi aku terbayang wajah Farrel bila pertama kali dia melihat dunia. Saat tuh mmg aku tak dapat lupakan dan masa tuh jugak semua sakit, penat lelah aku tadi hilang serta merta. Alhamdulillah aku dah pun bergelar ibu. Terima kasih yg tak terhingga buat suamiku yg tak putus beri aku semangat. Love both of u so much!!!

Aku kena admit kat hospital sampai hari ke 6. Sepatutnya hari ke 5 aku n Farrel dah boleh balik tapi last minute doctor detect Farrel ade terkena sikit Jaundice dan darah dia pun ade sikit infection. So kenala tunggu esok tuk tengok perkembangan Farrel. Alhamdulillah, hari ke 6 semuanya OK dan aku n Farrel dah boleh balik rumah. Lega rasanya dapat balik wpun best jugak duk spital sbb nurse2 kat hospital tuh mmg baik2 dan muda2, plus makan pun sodap!!. Lagipun hubby aku dah dekat seminggu ponteng kelas so bila dah keluar hospital at least dia dah boleh pegi kelas. Kesian dia 5 mlam terpaksa tidur atas kerusi malas. Dan part yg paling best bila Farrel susah tidur malam so time tuh laa betul2 menguji kesabaran mummy n daddy dia. huhu.. Dekat seminggu lebih jugakla aku n hubby tak dapat tidur malam, kena buli dengan Farrel. Alhamdulillah sekrg ni Farrel dah mula tidur nyenyak n terjaga bila nak menyusu jer. Aku n hubby pun dah mula pandai mandikan Farrel, tukar lampin, bedung dia, pakaikan bengkung n menyusu dia. Sekrng aku tgh menjalani proses berpantang dan tak sabar nak tunggu hari ke 44. Syukur ada kawan2 yg lebih berpengalaman so takdela aku n hubby terkontang kanting uruskan Farrel. Maklumla aku n hubby terpaksa uruskan semua sendiri. huhu.. bestnyaaa kalau mama ada kat sini...apa2 pun hidup aku sekrg bertambah ceria di samping 2 hero yg tercinta.

Finally...

2008-02-22T15:22:00.005+01:00

Assalammualaikum..

huhu.. finally internet kat IAS ni OK jugak. alhamdulillah, syukur sgt walaupun terpaksa menunggu hampir2 sebulan dengan penuh kesabaran. heheh.. kadang2 tak sabar pun, rasa macam nak pegi serang jer uncle Didier ni. Cakap mcm keling jer.. kejap ckp nak betulkan, kejap ckp xde bajet. banyak tul alasan diorg ni. Tp watever pun tamat jugak penantian yg penuh penyiksaan ni. Punye laa boring sepanjang tenet tak OK. Nak pegi club plak dah tak baper larat nak usung perut ni naik turun tangga. Thanx to my hubby sbb belikan TNT untuk hilangkan boring walaupun lepas 3 hari beli, internet pun dah OK. hehe.. sekrg ni rumah kiteorg dah ade lebih 18 channel. Pening jugak nak pilih tgk citer ape. Sekrg ni aku tgh pulun nak abiskan buku citer yg kiteorg beli kat Capitol. Buku yg aku baca sekrg ni mula2 agak boring sket tp sekrg ni mcm best plak. tak sabar aku nak abiskan citer ni sbb nak baca buku2 citer Nicholas Sparks. Tp dah ade internet ni mesti slow sket progress nya.. pagi2 jer la aku abiskan masa membaca. Bila petang mula la bertenet. Baca forum pasal parenting. Hubby aku pun sekrg dah pandai buka forum pasal parenting.. dalam diam2 dah tau pasal macam2. Breastfeeding la, Tanda2 nak bersalin la, Cara nak sambut baby, n byk lagi. huhu.. bangga aku sbb kadang2 ilmu dia lagi banyak dr aku.

Sekrg ni aku n hubby dah tak sabo2 tunggu baby keluar. Bangun pagi, sebelum tidur hubby mesti tanye, "bile baby nak keluar?". Aku pun tertanya2 jugak sbb due dah dekat. tak sampai 2 minggu je lagi tp takde tanda ape2 pun. Cuma sekrg ni selalulah kena Hixton Bricks (false alarm). Kalau boleh biarlah sebelum due date. Risau aku kalau baby comfort sgt duk kat dalam sampai tanak keluar. Mentang2la perut mummy dia banyak lemak. huhu.. keluar cepat2 tau sayang!! Boleh main ngan mummy n daddy. Tak sabar nak peluk cium sayang. huhu.. jeles tgk member2 aku yg due lebih kurang aku dah selamat bersalin.

Okayla, mentang2la lama x menulis blog. panjang ler plak aku membebel kali ni. Anyway, sekrg ni IAS dah ade new malay member. Iqmal n family dah selamat tiba bln january lepas. So bertambah meriahla komuniti melayu kat sini.

Trip to Italy.. intro

2008-01-16T10:38:00.001+01:00

Risau.....

2008-01-16T10:21:00.002+01:00

Huhu.. biler la berpeluang nak update blog ni. Nak tulis pasal trip pegi Italy tp baru sampai day 3. Sekarang ni aku asyik bz baca forum about parenting. Risau lak kalau terbersalin awal, ilmu di dada pun macam kurang jer lagik. Risau.. risau.. tp harap semuanya dipermudahkan.

"Ya Allah, peliharalah anakku selama di dalam kandunganku dan sembuhkan ia, sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Penyembuh, tiada sembuhan melainkan penawar Mu., sembuh yang tiada meninggalkan kesan buruk. Ya Allah, lahirkanlah ia dari kandunganku dengan kelahiran yang mudah dan sejahtera (selamat). Ya Allag, jadikanlah ia sihat sempurna, cerdik, berakal dan berilmu serta beramal soleh. Ya Allah, elokkan akhlaknya, fasihkan lidahnya dan perelokkan suaranya untuk membaca Al-Quran dan Hadis dengan berkat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w."

Pour notre Bébé…. Preparation for our baby!!

2007-12-18T17:15:00.001+01:00

For this time I just want to talk about our preparation for our baby. Of course every parent wants the best for their children. We try to give and do the best for our children. For new parent like us, of course we really excited of having a baby. Every day, every minute and also can say every second we always think about our becoming baby. How he/she looks like, how big is he/she, how cute is he/she and every time we look at other baby we always think “nanti anak aku pun cute macam ni jugak ke??”. But deep inside our heart, we always pray to have a healthy baby. No matter how he/she looks like, we will love him/her forever. Owh… he/she is moving right now.. may be he/she also agree with me. JJ

Talking about preparation since now I’m almost 7 month pregnancy, we already start to buy baby’s stuff and read about parenting, delivery process ( sometimes I feel afraid but try to make up my mind and be optimise, prepare mental n physical), process after delivery (byk pantang larang yg aku x tau.. still reading and asking peoples about this. Thanx for those who always be there when I need their advice/ help) and the most important byk2 berdoa semoga semuanya selamat. Now, every time we shop at Carrefour/E Leclerc/Auchan we never miss to go to baby’s site. Bukannya beli apa pun sgt tp suka tgk barang2 baby. So cute.. Actually, since I got nephew I really love to look at baby’s stuff. Even I ever think to have my own baby’s shop. Just dreaming but hope one day this dream will comes true.

So far, our baby already have his stroller (Blue MacLaren Quest.. promoted by Uncle Khairul) which is very reasonable price at Toys “R” Us compared to other place. This stroller is really necessary here. Baby also want to say thanx to Uncle Khairul n family who sponsored his bed, Uncle Aznor and Auntie Zah who sponsored his car seat and pyjama and Auntie As & Uncle Syahar who gave us a lot of Aisyah’s stuffs. Actually most of stuffs are given by our friends and it’s really ease our burden. Thanx a lot guys!! You know, baby’s stuff is not cheap even more expensive than adult’s things. Now we are looking for other necessary like baby’s towel, baby’s blanket ( nak beli towel n blanket baby pun pusing sumer smarket sbb nak cari yg murah tp branded… hehe), pampers, disposable tissue n others. Actually we don’t have any idea to buy baby’s stuffs as this is our first experience so we just buy what we think baby needs and we keep asking friends and our family what should we prepare for baby.

Bile citer bab baby ni rasa excited sgt. Syukur alhamdulillah so far takde masalah pasal pregnancy aku. Hopefully semuanya OK till delivery. Lately asyik pk jer mcmana proses bersalin n berpantang nanti. Risau gak sbb sorang2 kat sini, family jauh. Huhu... Mujur ade kawan2 yg dah berpengelaman so at least ade gak tempat nak bertanya. Cuma aku sekrg mmg dalam proses nak menyediakan mental n fizikal sbb dah masuk trimester ke 3 ni mesti lagi banyak dugaan. So ape2 problem yg x serius aku tanak la pk sgt. Nak buang jauh2 n just focus for baby n family.

Happy Birthday Sayang!!!

2007-12-10T16:07:00.002+01:00

Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to you..

Happy Birthday to abang..
Happy Birthday to you ..

Hehehe… Esok genap la 28thn umur my hubby. Saje je nyanyi awal2 so that I’m the first person wish u Happy Birthday. Semoga Allah panjangkan umur dan murahkan rezeki abang dan kita sekeluarga. Za harap apa yg abang impikan dalam hidup akan tercapai. Semoga kita bahagia di kelilingi anak2 dan kekal ke akhir hayat. Really love you so much sayang. Harap nanti abang boleh jadi great daddy for our children n insyaallah I’ll try to be great mummy for them too(how many of them?? Hehehe.. ).Semoga kita lebih tabah mengharungi liku2 hidup dan dugaan bersama. Walaupun usia perkahwinan kita baru setahun jagung tapi alhamdulillah semuanya kita dapat harungi bersama n thanx for eveything u have done to me. Really appreciate that. Thanx God send the right person to my life.

Actually kiteorg dah celebrate our birthday together secara serba sederhana last Sunday. Saje jer celebrate sama2 sbb birthday aku pun baru jer lepas last month. Memula plan nak celebrate kat Capitole sambil menikmati keindahan malam kat Capitole tp hujan ler plak. Tuhla.. kita hanya mampu merancang. Then finally we decided to celebrate at Appartment 3004. huhu… Lagipun aku takdela beria sangat wat preparation. Aku buat kek tiramisu jer.. first time buat n tgk resepi kat internet. Hari tuh makan tiramisu yg kak Linda buat kat rumah Khairul so dr situ dpt la idea nak buat kek tiramisu for our first birthday celebration. Walaupun sambutan kali ni agak sederhana tp kiteorg happy sgt dpt celebrate bersama. Ye la, dulu x bercinta sebelum kawin so mana ade jiwang2 sgt. Sekrg ni dah kawin baru la nak jiwang2 sket wpun aku ni bukan la romantik mana.

Pasal hadiah lak, jenuhla kiteorg duk pusing supermarket since dr birthday aku last month tp x jumpe2 hadiah yg sesuai. Memula hubby aku nak cincin n dia nak belikan aku jewellery gak tp bila tgk kat kedai sumer dia tak berkenan. Ader la kiteorg berkenan satu bracelet tuh, harga pun takde la mahal sgt tp bila aku cuba jer besar sgt ler plak. So takde rezeki la nak pakai bracelet baru. Huhu.. Sekrg ni dia tgh survey kasut lak, byk dah kedai pegi tapi still x jumpe yg berkenan di hati. At last, kiteorg decide hadiah besday utk thn ni adalah pakej percutian ke Itali selama 10 hari 9 mlm. Hehehe.. Tuh pun dah bajet besar so xyahla membazir beli hadiah yg lain. Takperla, hadiah yg lagi besar akan dtg next year bile baby kuar nanti. Huhu.. tuhla anugerah yg tak terhingga nilainya. Hope everything will be fine.

Okayla sayang, nanti bila balik mesia n za keje za belikan hadiah lain tuk abg yek.. Lastly, baby pun ucapkan Happy Birthday gak tuk daddy n baby pesan supaya jadik matured sket sbb umur pun dah 28thn. Jgn asyik nak beli mainan jer.. hehehe….sayaaanggggg daddy!!

Cirque de Noel ... Circus show !!!

2007-12-05T16:34:00.001+01:00

Last night, kiteorg (aku n hubby, weeda n family, Kak Linda n family & Babitha n her daughter) pergi tgk circus kat town. Actually kiteorg dpt ticket free dr uncle Didier. Kalau kena bayar rasanya tak sampai la kiteorg ke circus show tuh. Kiteorg bertolak dr IAS lebih kurang pukul 5.45pm tp yg tak bestnya jalan sesak ler plak. Lebih kurang pukul 6.35pm baru kiteorg sampai kat tempat circus tuh. Aqilah sampai tertido dlm keta tapi bile sampai jer kat tempat circus tuh terus dia aktif, semangat nak tgk gajah joget. Hehe.. Aku n hubby pun excited gak nak tgk show tuh, ngalahkan bebudak. Ye lah, seumur hidup aku tak pernah lagi tgk circus. Lain la hubby aku penah gak tgk masa die kecik2 dulu. Tp still excited cam budak2..hehehe..

First2 show tuh agak boring sket sampai aku asyik menguap jer. Perut lak asyik berbunyi2 walaupun dah makan nasi kat rumah sebelum pergi. Sib baik aku bawak bekalan dr rumah tp terlupa lak nak bawak air.huhu.. lepas makan chip terus rasa mual sbb takde air.. Show yg seterusnya agak OK ler sbb ade aksi2 yg best n menarik. Aku paling suker part magician sbb anjing2 dia agak comel2 dan show dia pun takdela boring sgt. Bile time gajah joget2 pun best jugak tp aku mmg penakut sket sbb gajah tuh besar2 n stage dia lak takde pagar. Risau lak aku kalau2 gajah tuh naik minyak, tatau ler aku nak lari camaner ngan perut yg boyot ni. Yg kelakarnya time tgk show tuh baby asyik tendang2 jer.. macam tau2 lak mummy ngan daddy dia tgh tgk circus. Hehe.. sian baby takleh tgk lagi sbb terlindung ngan dinding perutku yg tebal.hehehe.. takper.. at least dia dpt la tumpang enjoy samer.. Ops luper lak, actually part yg paling kiteorg enjoy bile uncle Didier buat show gak.hahahah.. gelak besar kiteorg bile tgk Uncle Didier kat stage tuh.. Patutla dia beria2 bagi tiket free kat sumer org, rupa2nya dia pun terlibat sama ngan show tuh.hihiihi

Show tuh habis bih kurang pukul 9.30 mlm. So show tuh amik masa lebih kurang 2 ½ jam plus rehat sekejap. Kiteorg pun bertolak balik dengan mengikut jalan yg sangat jauh disebabkan jalan yg kiteorg dtg tuh dah ditutup. Huhu.. dalam kete aku asyik menguap jer.. dah tak sabo nak sampai umah n tido. So for the conclusion, bg aku yg first time tgk circus ni bolehlaa diakatakan agak enjoy. Kalau part magician tuh lama sket mesti lagi menarik. Pasni hopefully leh pegi tgk Disney on Ice lak. Masa tuh bolehla bawak baby sekali. Boleh kan daddy???? Tak dpt tgk Disney on Ice pun, bawak kiteorg gi Disneyland pun dah kire orait. Jealous tau tgk Aqilah jumpe Kimi..hehe

Waiting for the trip to skiiiiii….huhu..

Nothing much...

2007-11-28T15:15:00.000+01:00

First of all, sori sesgt sbb dh lama tak update blog. Rasanya sejak2 launch blog ni langsung tak update. Niat hati mmg nk update hari2 tapi disebabkan internet yang 'bengong' so terpaksala simpan ajer niat yang suci lagi murni... chewahh...

Pejam celik pejam celik dah lebih kurang 5 bulan kiteorg berada di bumi Perancis ni. Bermacam pengalaman pahit manis yang telah kiteorg lalui, tapi alhamdulillah so far semuanya 'ok' atas bantuan rakan2 di sini. Rasanya kalau takder dorg ni susah jugak hidup kiteorg dekat sini. So to appreciate them we, let us jot down their name here. Khairul (ex lecturer azizul) & Weeda, Shahar & As (Azizul's Colleague), Khairil & Linda, Iqmal, Azami, Aznor & Kak Zah. Kalau takder bantuan dorg2 ni mmg susah jugaklah nk harungi pahit maung yg sememangnya tidak diduga. Masalah utama yang kiteorg hadapi kat sini adalah komunikasi yg boleh diibaratkan seperti ayam bercakap dgn itik. Susah nak cakap, org Perancis ni mmg x tau speaking atau sajer2 buat x tau. Negara dah maju tapi hidup still depends pada bahasa Perancis. So terpaksalah kiteorg menjadikan bahasa isyarat sebagai bahasa perantara. Even kiteorg paham apa yg dorg ckp tp mslh nk reply balik tuh, itu je mslhnya. Kawan Azizul (Shahar & As) boleh survive kat sini selama setahun walaupun x reti speaking French. At last, As bukan setakat dapat Master of Engineering but also master in sign language. 2 in 1. Hehe.

Masalah kedua pulak berkaitan pregnancy aku. Huhu, walaupun bermacam dugaan tapi kiteorg tetap bersyukur dgn kurniaanNYA. Dekat sini kos perubatan semuanya mahal. Contohnya sekali appoinment dgn doktor pun kosnya xkurang 22-28Euro. itu belum lagi untuk blood test, sekali pergi kosnya mencecah 120Euro. Huhu... kalau 5 kali blood test boleh bankrupt kiteorg. Kos bersalin kat sini sajer pun mencecah 4000Euro, kalau convert RM dah boleh beli sebijik Kancil. So untuk menampung kos perubatan, kiteorg terpaksa apply insurance untuk cover medical cost dan hospital bila aku bersalin nnt. Thanks to Khairul & family yg banyak membantu kiteorg dalam hal untuk mendapatkan insurance tuh. So skrg aku dh xder mslh psl insurance. Dgn insurance tuh sume bil perubatan ditanggung sepanjang setahun kami berada di sini. Mmg hepi sgt sume mslh berkaitan pregnancy cost dh selesai. Syukur jugak aku dh daftar ngan hospital yang bakal menjadi tempat lahir anak kiteorg nnt. Nama hospital tu Joseph-Ducuing (pronounciation: Josept Duquwa), kena sengau sikit. Hehe. Weeda & Kak Zah dulu pun bersalin kat hospital tuh. So dorg ckp servis mmg best. Selama ni aku pergi wat echograhy pun mmg best.

Hari ni dah lebih kurang 6 bulan usia kandunganku. So far alhamdulillah xder masalah yang serius, cuma biasa la sakit2 belakang and tak boleh tido malam. Skrg akau makin montel... haha... dah gain lebih kurang 9kg... huhu... asyik kena perli jer ngan hubby. Dia siap warning lps bersalin kena slimkan badan. Insya Allah aku cuba yg terbaik sbb aku skrg pun susah hati sgt kalau berat naik melampau then payah nak turun. Huhu... Baby aku skrg pun semakin aktif main bola sepak dalam perut aku. Huhu... mesti dia dah tak sabar nk keluar main bola kat padang ENAC. Bila baby bergerak jer, yg paling excited sekali ialah daddy nyer laa. Huhu... Nanti bila baby dah keluar takleh nak gambarkan camner laa rupa daddynya yang tersangat excited tuh. Erm... setakat hari ni dah 3 kali aku pergi hospital. 2 kali untuk ecnhography (4 bln & 5 bln) dan sekali jumpe doktor pakar tuk pemeriksaan kandungan dan kesihatan. Lagi satu kat sini, bagi ibu2 yang mengandung mmg kena kerap buat blood test. So far dah 3 kali aku buat blood test kat Languedoc Lab. Dah lebih 10 botol darah aku dorg amik.

Setiap kali aku pergi hospital mesti ditemani oleh staf2 IAS. Maklumla aku ni tak reti berbahasa Perancis. Setakat bonjour, cava, merci & au revoir tu boleh laa... Hubby pulak sibuk dgn kelas, so x boleh nk temankan aku ke hospital. Cuma ada la dia ponteng sekali masa nak pergi private clininc and blood test. Kesian pulak kalau tiap kali nak teman aku ke hospital dia ponteng kelas. Xper la, skrg baby aku dh ada mak angkat (Anne-Marie PONS) and kakak angkat (Amanda). Hehe... so mak angkat and kakak angkat la yang bergilir2 temankan aku ke hospital setakat ni.

Oklah, kalu ikutkan banyak lagi nak cerita tapi slow2 la, internet pun baru je dapat guna kat rumah ni. Kalau tak kena pergi kelab untuk guna internet. Plus skrg ni aku sibuk ngan aktiviti baru, knitting yg baru diperingkat amatur. Hehe... insya Allah aku akan update & story serba kelt life baru kat sini bila ada kesempatan.

Superman Return!!!

2007-11-28T13:08:00.000+01:00

Salam, sajer nak kongsi cerita ni, tergelak kami suami isteri baca cerita ni...

Aku datang dari keluarga yg besar...16 adik beradik, bila sesekali berkumpul, dah tentu mak aku akan buat majlis makan besar-besar dan best-best!!!

Dalam ramai2 adik beradik, bukan semua yg suka stail aku, apabila aku bawa gaya hidup " gaya pulang ke pangkal jalan'"...maka adalah yg tak kena sana sini...oh..

Masa makan, aku pun duduk lah cara Nabi..(rujuk ustaz). Lalu ada yg sound: "Apahal duduk macam nak berlari ajer...." "Tak baik lutut tinggi pada makanan.."
"Ni duduk ke nak berak nie..?"

Oleh sebab aku lelaki beriman, maka aku buat muka seposen... Aku pun basuh tangan. Nota untuk mua'alaf : Sebelum makan sunnah Nabi adalah basuh kedua2 tangan dan berkumur, insyaAllah jika korang amal nie, sebelum korang mati Allah akan mempermudahkan segala urusan hutang piutang
korang. - Hutang kereta/rumah/ kahwin/ study/along bla bla bla!!!

Sambung balik, aku pun berpikir...ada baiknya juga Nabi tak makan pakai sudu @ garfu. Kalau Nabi makan pakai sudu, susah pulak org miskin macam aku nak ikut sunnah Nabi. Nak pakai sudu material apa? Stainless steel ke inconnel 601? Nak pakai colour camne? Matelic ke cooper? Kan susah tu!!! Tu belum lagi jika Nabi makan pakai kerusi dan meja.. bentuk bulat ke bentuk heksagon?, Oktagon?, Nanagon? Nak kena pergi kedai perabot buat ansuran mudah! Jimat ! Hanya RM 1 dan tunggu 30 hari, kunjungilah kedai perabot terbesar di Malaysia , bla bla bla!!! Oh...

Lepas tu makanlah, dengan tiga jari (sunnah Nabi) kemudian, ada pulak suara2 yg sound: "Eh, kenyang ke makan dengan tiga jari?"

Aku kata : "Huh, anak cina makan dengan dua kayu elok2 habis nasi satu pinggan!!!"

Tapi oleh kerana aku sorang jer yg makan dengan tiga jari, org lain makan dengan lima jari, maka aku lihat kadar flow of suapan dan kadar quantity of lauk-pauk diorang lebih laju dan maju, maka aku menukar jariku dari 3 kepada 5... Oh..tepuk dada tanya iman..

Kemudian aku minum dari tangan kanan yg tidak berbasuh...

Diorang tegur: "Essh.. pengotor betullah".

Aku kata : "Apa pulak kotor, aku makan nasi, bukan tahik!!!" (tapi aku kata dalam hati sebab aku lelaki beriman).

"Nie, apahal jilat2 jari nie? Lucah betul!!"- tanya diorang pada aku..

"Makan ayam sedap sampai ke kaki... makan sate sedap sampai ke lidi heheheh"- kataku...

Banyak pulak diorang komplen cara aku makan.. err maksud aku cara Nabi makan... Aku tahu tak berguna berdebat ngan mereka lalu aku ubah topik dengan bertanya: "Tahukah korang kenapa lembu makan rumput dan kambing makan daun?"

Abang aku kata sebab tengkuk lembu berat...bla bla bla..

Aku kata : "Salah!!! Lembu makan rumput dan kambing makan daun sebab mereka lapar!!!(tak lawak) ha ha ha!!!" Aku menyambung : "Penting makan cara Nabi sebab kita hari2 makan, tapi bila tak ikut sunnah, maka jadi macam lembu dan kambing makan sajer. Namun bila korang makan macam Nabi saw makan, maka dikira ibadat.. Masa nak makan, niatlah makan kerana perintah Allah, namun kena nafikan makanan yg bagi kenyang..hakikatnya kenyang datang dari kudrat Allah. "

Tiba2 mak aku tercekik tulang ikan.. (bayangkan seorang mak cik sedang tercekik tulang) Kemudian, Mak aku mendapat nasihat secara berperingkat, ada yg sarankan agar makan pisang, minum air dengan cepat, makan nasi kepal dan lain2, tapi masih tak berjaya.. Kesian mak aku...

"Huh! Hamka, Takkan kau tak tahu cara sunnah Nabi nak buang tulang tercekik camne?..cakap terer.."(kata abang aku).

Aku kata : "Senang sajer... Mak angkat kedua-dua tangan ke atas.."

Mak akupun buat..tapi masih tak jadi.. Aku kata: "Lurus mak, tangan mak dua-dua kena lurus... !!!" (bayangkan seorang makcik yg sedang duduk bersila sambil kedua-dua tangan diluruskan ke atas, tangan kanan masih terdapat sisa2 nasi, manakala di lengan dan tengkuk di penuhi dengan rantai
emas..)

Aku kata : "Sekarang sebut: SUPERMAN RETURN!!!!!! "HA HA HA.. (semua org ketawa)-nasi berhembur-hembur di sana sini. Mak aku juga ketawa.. sehingga tulang yg tercekik itu terkeluar.. Semuanya dari Allah!!! He he he...

Selamat mencuba, ni bukan hadith, cuma pengalaman.
