Hi friends, we have safely landed at Brisbane airport on Wednesday, 29th Oct, 5.15 am Brisbane time. Our flight was delayed. We were suppose to arrive on Tuesday morning. There was a major problem with the aircraft. As a result we spent one night at Nilai Hotel, under AirAsia expenses, of course. The next day, at 7.30pm, we depart from KLIA, instead of LCCT, on board MH8475.
Will write more about our exhausting experience soon.

Selamat tinggal Malaysia...untuk sementara waktu
Kengkawan semua, untuk sementara waktu ku tinggalkan Malaysia, bagi meneruskan perjuangan ku yang belum selesai ini. Ku tinggalkan Malaysia dengan seribu harapan, serta satu tujuan.
Dan buat sementara waktu juga blog ini akan ku tinggalkan, untuk memberi tumpuan kepada suatu yang sangat penting, yang bakal merubah segala-gala. InsyaAllah kita akan bertemu lagi.
My dear friends and family, please du'a for my success, if you may. And thank you for every support, motivation and advise from all of you, that means a lot to me. These have keep me going.
Forgiveness I seek from you for every mistake I have made. Until next time, good bye kengkawan. Semoga Allah memberkati kengkawan semua.
Malaysia tanah tumpah darahku....

Di sini laa tempat kami melepaskan gian...
Haaa.... Medan ikan bakar Umbai nie pun salah satu daripada destinasi dalam Atang's list of ngidam....hehehehheheh.... Unfortunately, the place that we usually frequent was closed. Alahai...atang dah mula la bebel2 kat mana nak makan. FYI atang is a bit particular about where you eat. It is difficult for him to try a new place, when he already found a place that suits his selera.
Gerai makcik yang we all selalu lepak tu kat tengah2 tu... Korang perasan tak, gerai tepi tu je yg menyala. Yang lain-lain TUTOP.....
Tapi dah sampai kat sini, takkan nak cancel pulak kan.... Kang ada yang kena balik hotel jalan kaki...hahahhah... So kami pun pergi ke belakang sikit, betul-betul kat jeti tu. Tempat nie mmg selalu ramai orang, kebetulan aritu ari kerja, so tak de la ramai sangat orang.
"Ikan Bakar Parameswara".
Kami order apa tau...ala tak nak citer laaa.... nanti ada yang terliur. Tapi macam-macam la kami order, sampai tak muat meja. Padahal untuk makan 2 mulut setengah aje. Hahahahhaha....lepas gian kan... Dan...nasi lemak dia pun ada kelas!!!... Kira mmg sedappppp makan kat situ. Semenjak balik sini, nie la pertama kali makan nasi lemak yang memang sedappp sampai termimpi-mimpi...hahhahaha Walaupun nasi lemak dengan sambal aje tau. Siap tapau 2 bungkus utk makan kat hotel. gegeggegege...
Amacam... gi la cuba.... jangan kata saya tak cakap ye.....

Bacaan anak buah ku
My sistah used to complain about her kids of not interested with books (I mean story books). Kesemua anak bujangnye langsung tidak berminat, only her only princess show interest. Itupun buku-buku yang bukan zaman we all laaa...(ala..zaman berlalu kan).
Last weekend, we went up to my sistah place, to spend a night with the family. Before going to sleep I went to their library to search for a book (memang habit ku nak tido kena baca buku). Hmmm...my niece have an interesting collection of non-fiction, mostly from the same publisher, ptsone. Am sure she loves books from this publisher. So I took and read one book (OK memang buku cerita remaja ok, salah ke eden baca...hahahhaha.....just to put me to sleep). Ini bukunye...

So I took and read one book (OK memang buku cerita remaja ok, salah ke eden baca...hahahhaha.....just to put me to sleep). Ini bukunye...
My verdict: OK for its category. Buku remaja lo... Cume citer dia cram sangat. Yela kisah dari budak kecik sampai sekolah menengah....
Besok camne pulak taste yaya ye. My old story books memang banyak kat rumah my mom. Tak tau la dia minat ke tidak.
Kalau dah ke Melaka.....
Haaaa....bila ada budak kecik nie...kalau nak berjalan tu, memang banyak berkira, cuaca ok ke? jauh ke tidak? pukul baper nak gi? pukul baper kena balik? haaaa.... tapi kalau dah lame rancang, pulak tu bukan dekat dan kebetulan ada kerja kat sini kan... Jadi Rabu lepas, lepas check-in, rehat dan mandi semua kan... seawal 6 petang kami pun bergerak, walaupun dalam keadaan ujan yang kadang-kadang lebat, menuju destinasi.
Destinasi nye...jeng jeng jeng
Mana lagi kannn ehem ehem.... Sebenarnye sebelum sampai Melaka, ada tanye rakan tempat yang lain, kot2 ada tempat yang baru yang best jugak. Rakan tu siap sms direction lagi. Tapi bila dah petang, dengan ujan, kami pula berpuasa, atang tak nak ambil risiko, terus aje la ke Umbai nie. Walau acap kali kami ke sini, tapi tak pernah jemu. Dulu masa study kat Jasin tu, ada juga beberapa kali datang kat sini.
Tarikkannya....apa lagi, makanan lautnye laaa....ditambah lagi makan bersama nasi lemak....perrghhhhh.... gegegegege..... haaa..mmg medan ikan bakar kat Melaka nie jamu dengan nasi lemak. Nasi putih pun ada, nasi goreng-goreng pun ada gak. Tapi tak sama kalau tak makan dengan nasi lemak nye.....
ehh....dah kena bayar la bila nak masuk medan ikan bakar nie.......
ujan lebat lagi kat luar tu..... kami pusing-pusing dulu sekitar medan ikan bakar tu. Tapi sayangnya, gerai mak cik yang kami selalu gi tu tutup pulak aritu. Mungkin dia tak bukak hari kerja agaknya. Adoi...nie yg leceh nie...nak kena try tempat lain pulak...takut kurang aje..... Oleh sebab nak masuk waktu maghrib, kami pun ke masjid dulu. Senang, selesaikan utang dulu, baru la bleh menghadapi hidangan dengan nikmatnye... tak payah tergesa-gesa.....

Melaka....Oh Melaka
Cantik sungguh Melaka sekarang nie. Melaka memang dari dulu merupakan negeri yang ku kagumi, sebab landskapnye yang menarik. Rumah-rumah Melaka nye pun sangat menarik.
Lepas bersiap, kami pun menuju ke destinasi dengan melalui Lebuh AMJ (Alor Gajah-Melaka-Jasin). To those who are not familiar with Melaka, this highway will lead to Muar. All along the way, you can see beautiful Rumah Melaka on both side of the road. Selalu la berangan nak ada rumah macam ini...hahahhahahhah... apsal tak minat rumah minang pulak ye...ontah laaa. Senibina rumah melaka tu yang menarik, uniknya pada serambi rumah melaka nie. Susah den nak toghang kan. Sape2 orang Melakau tu tau la maksud den yo.
Sorry la tak ambil gambar kan...eden nie amatur kan... hahahha...bila perlu aje, n rasa2 perlu aje la kuarkan kamera itu. Lain2 ku simpan dalam minda ku ini.
Lagi satu tempat menarik, Pusat Islam kat sana. Memang cantik planningnye. Atang kata mmg town planning kat Melaka kemas dan cantik. Ada la sebabnya yang tak bleh mention kat sini. Tak sempat pulak kami nak singgah Jasin semasa di Melaka aritu. Lama betul tak ke sana. Kata kengkawan, Jasin pun dah berubah. Kengkawan, bila nak buat reunion kat sana???
Kami ditemani ujan di sepanjang perjalanan. Perut pun dah berkeroncong, tak sabar rasanya tiba di destinasi.

Beratnye hati ini...
Tinggal 5 hari lagi. Akan tibanya hari yang akan membawa banyak perubahan dalam hidupku. Akan bermulalah musim baru, dengan plot yang baru, watak yang baru serta pentas yang berbeza dari sebelumnya.
Banyak yang bermain dimindaku, di saat ini. Pelbagai persoalan yang tidak mungkin dapat dijawab dikala ini. Adapun soalan yang dapat diselesaikan, jawapannya kadang kala mengundang resah dihati ini. Namun ku selindungi keresahan ini disebalik kegembiraan. Kegembiraan yang mungkin akan tamat dalam masa 5 hari. Kunanti ketibaan hari 5 dengan perasaan bercampur baur.
Perjuanganku belum selesai. Jalanku masih jauh dihadapan. Jalan yang pastinya tidak akan lurus, serta bersimpang siur. Dugaan demi dugaan akan sentiasa datang, menguji keimanan, kesabaran serta kebijaksanaan ku. Apa yang boleh aku lakukan, kini dan seterusnya adalah memohan kehadrat Ilahi agar aku sentiasa tenang serta sabar dalam menghadapi segala cabaran yang mendatang. Aku mohon semoga kewarasan ku terpelihara. Harapan aku hanya satu, perjalanan aku sentiasa ke depan, sehingga aku berjumpa garisan penamatnya.
Pasti ada sesuatu yang indah di penghujung jalan ini. Amin.

A mission at Malacca
I have an appointment last Thursday at Ayer Keroh Melaka, something to do with my research. We checked in at Hotel Seri Malaysia Ayer Keroh on Wednesday.
This is the second time we stayed at the hotel. For us it is comfortable and reasonable, plus away from Bandar Melaka which is sometime conjested.
We stayed in a family room...
Just opposite the swimming pool.
After checked in, we got settled, then got ready because we are going to somewhere special.

Ku terpaksa .....
Bye-bye my friend. Selama 1 tahun 7 bulan ku jaga dan ku belai dirimu. Kau telah menemani aku semenjak aku mula menjejakkan kaki di bumi Brisbane...
Sehinggalah aku pulang semula ke Malaysia....
Tapi aku terpaksa akur dengan permintaan ibu ku untuk memberi ruang kepada rakan yang baru.
Hello, to you my new friend.
Pendek la sudah rambut yaya (and me too). Rambut ku sudah mencecah pinggang ku, tapi terpaksa ku ucapkan selamat tinggal...heehheheheh
I would like to recommend you this place. Especially to those who live near BSP. Salun Fairly Anggun, owned by my mak teh ex-PA. It is located 2 doors from seven-11, first floor. You can see a banner on the entrance to the salun.
Appointment with Opthalmologist @ Optimax Shah Alam
I have mentioned before about Yaya's eye sight problem. We took her to see an optometrist, but in order to have accurate measurement of vision for her glasses, she needs to see an ophthalmologist. So last Saturday, we went to Optimax Shah Alam to see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist). We left Seremban at around 9.30 am, for the 11 am appointment.
Yaya was excited, of course. She didnt know how fragile wearing a glasses will be. To her, wearing glasses is a new thing, and she keeps saying, "macam mama kan". I have started lecturing her on how to take care of the glasses, and her eyes too. Tapi almaklum la budak, sedikit aje dapat diprosesnya. Tunggu glasses dia siap, baru bagi syarahan.
Everything is done at 2.30 pm. Rumit juga prosidurnya. Eventhough I have been wearing glasses since I am 16, never in my life I see an eye doctor. Jadi, aritu, kira first time experience jugak la kita. First time jugak tengok eye refractor nie (source: http://www.answers.com/topic/optometry). Yaya pakai utk determine power dia, dua kali. Sekali masa awal-awal sampai, second time lepas titis saline untuk bagi mata relax.
Resultnye : Astigmatism yaya tinggi, 250 for both eyes. Power R:175 L:150. Hmmm nie sebab mengadap PC banyak main game dan tengok tv dekat2 la. Kalau boleh hidung tu nak sentuh skrin TV tu. Masa tengah karang entry nie, Yaya tengah main PS2. Salah sapa jugak ye, kalau tak mak abahnye kan. Sape la mak abah nye tu..... gegeeggegegeg....
Babahnye salahkan keturunan mak nye la... hmmm...tak adil betul

Visiting friends and heavy rain last Saturday
Next destination was Puchong. Actually my friend invited us to her open house event on Saturday. But we already planned something in advance, so we could not come to her majlis. But she insisted us to come to her house before we go back to Brisbane. She is one of my close friends. Pernah jadi penasihat semasa krisis dengan atang zaman tok kaduk dulu…hahahahahha…Jadi untuk tidak menghampakan permintaan kawan, kami pun menuju ke arah Puchong tengahari tu dalam ujan gerimis yang agak-agak manja (macam mana tu??).
Sekali….sesat wehhh……
eventhough we have the map…. Tak gheti baca map (azah map ko betul-betul menguji minda aku wehhhh…ko buat pseudo code lain kali lagi senang laaa…hahahhahah). Satu jam kami sesat…. We have given up. Masa nie teringat Navman atang yang kami guna kat Brisbane. Tapi kalau ada pun...mana nak bayar servisnye... we heard the service charge is expensive here...hmmm..hmmm..... 
Atang kata lain kali aje laa…lagipun zuhur dah panjang. Coincidently there was a mosque nearby (mmg suruh solat dulu la tu). Athirah was crying and could not sit still. Stresss di situ. So I called up my friend azah, she said we were nearby her housing area… and demand us to come to her house (adehhhh)…. Salah kami…tersilap simpang. Akhirnya jumpa juga rumah azah…. Masa tu dah penat dah…ujan yang manja itu pun dah bertukar jadi kasar….
Pun tak lame kat rumah azah…solat, minum sikit makan sikit…kami bertolak pulang. Along the way home it was raining heavily. Yet we have one more invitation to full fill, my long time no see friend, liza aka being normal (mmg kepingin nak lihat rumah baru dia). We thought when we reach home, we will go up to VSP to perform asr, then off to liza’s house. But when we reached home, the kids were drained up, naik atas, sume melepak. In the end tak dapat gi umah liza… sorry liza …. Bukan kami tak sudi….orang dah jemput, kecil tapak tangan sekawah kami tadahkan…hahahahhah….tapi apa kan daya…. Apa-apa pun
kerana sudi jemput kami sekeluarga ini....

Haaaa……. Nie la tempat yang kami tuju ahad lepas. Eventhough we have some open house invitation to fullfill, atang insisted that we had lunch at Nasi Kandar Utara at SS15 nie…..lepas tu baru la gi rumah kengkawan nie…. Kite ikut aje laa…hehehheh..tekak pun ada rasa nak makan nasi kandar nie…. Memang kami peminat nasi kandar, terutama sekali yang ini....
What is so special about this nasi kandar, the friend chicken la …. Plus there are 3 types of gravy that you will get on your nasi putih…… kuah kari dua jenis…lagi satu kuah itam…. I don’t know what is the kuah itam actually… tapi tu yg sedap tu….walla weyyy....
Eerrrpppp…alhamdullillah…. Kenyang dah….sekarang baru boleh terjah rumah kengkawan.

Ke mana hari ini?!
Kami ada misi besar nie. Ada juga jemputan rumah terbuka untuk dipenuhi.
Kami dah siap nie !!
Nak ke mana ye......
Hmmmmmm......sini ke??
Bukan laaa... ke mana ye??!!
This is one of the mission of “ikut tekak atang” la….
Di Bandar Tun Razak
We arrived nak dekat maghrib dah. My friend, Wawa was waiting outside the house. Oh yes, another kawan kamceng will arrive soon. We all memang rapat masa kat U dulu. Rapat giler la. Buat baik sama-sama, buat nakal pun sama-sama (mostly nakal laa…gegegege). Tapi nakal kami bukan kena2 kat orang lain, paling teruk pun kenakan kawan-kawan yang rapat jugak….gegeggegege…those were the days….huhuhuh
Anyway, my dear friend just lost her stepmother last week. Her stepmother died because of intestine cancer. Semenjak balik Malaysia nie, selalu betul dengar orang kena kanser nie. Lepas tu kematian, hampir tiap-tiap minggu. I know kematian happens everyday. But what I meant is, death that happened around me. Hmmmm……insaf mendatangi diri.
After maghrib, Baya, the awaited kamceng friend arrived with her daughter. Her daughter has similar name with yaya, the different is in the spelling, Alieya (setahun lebih tak jumpe nampak perbezaan ketara alieya). Datang siap bawak kehepsi tu. Tau-tau aje kami ngidam kehepsi ye…hahahahhahaha
Tak lame pun kat BTR, athirah dah start cranky. So after isya, we left. But we will return again to pick up my machine.
Wehh… sekejap…tapi sempat la menyakat korang ye…. Terima kasih sebab dapat kami.

Lopak air itu la penyebabnya
We planned to visit one of my ‘so kamceng one’ friend before raya. I need her help to fix my kaput machine. However, due to some circumstances, the programme has to be postpone until recently. So last Saturday, after asr, we went up to Bandar Tun Razak to meet her. This is my second time going to her place. The first time happened years ago. Ingat-ingat lupa la the way to her place. My friend has provided us with a map to her house. Tapi ikut instinct aje laaa….
After Sg. Besi toll, we exited into MRR2. We could see cars crawling ahead. Alahai… this usual spot mmg selalu congested. It is just before Bandar Tasik Selatan exit, nearby the commuter station.
Rupenya……
It was raining, but not heavy. Kereta dok elak lopak air rupenya.
Haiya…bukan dalam pun. Sekali this 4x4 lalu dengan lajunya, splashing the murky water to nearby cars, baru la kereta belakang2, redah air tu. I think diorang takut lubang kot. Eerrrrkkk… mana ada lubang kat atas bridge beb…. Kalau ada sure dah tembus ke bawah kan…hahahhahahha

Atang’s ”list of ngidam“
Bila duduk kat VSP, memang dapur tak berasap. Ada pun masak untuk bubur thirah. And since the fasting month, all decision regarding to what and where to eat was done by Atang.

Just a few day before we depart from Brisbane, I recieved a called from Ironside State School. A lady told me that there is a problem with yaya eye sight. We need to take yaya to any GP for further check up. Since we are going back to Malaysia, we planned to do her eye check then. After splashing at the pool, we took yaya to my optometrist at BBB, Prisma Optometris, opposite Mekka (McD) at Diamond Business Centre.
From 6/12, yaya vision are getting worse to 6/18. It seems she has astig problem. Nie biasa la untuk orang yg dok ngadap komputer n pc, like her mom. But before she can have a pair of glasses, we need to bring her to see opthalmologist for accurate checkup.
I have made an appointment with my sistah friend, next Saturday.

Splish splash @ VSP
Last weekend we stayed at VSP. Nothing can be more pleasure than staying at home. We have live at VSP since end of 2002. Yaya was 4 months at that time. The atmosphere, the ambience, the surrounding, makes us never wants to leave it, and it fits the definition of "Home sweet home". Even athirah was so keen with the house. On the first day we arrived at the house, she quickly adapted to it, explored the house without any hesitation. We were astonished by that. She was so restless and crankly at my mom's house, till she couldn't stay away from me. But at VSP, upon arrival, I put her down for awhile to get settle, expecting her to cry her lung out. But nothing came out from her. What she did was, exploring the house herself. I think she too can sense that this is 'our home', a safe place for her.
Arrghhhh.... whenever I think of this... I feel like I dont want to leave Malaysia.... sob sob...
Anyway, my story today is about spending quality time with loves one. We live in an apartment that includes a swimming and a wading pool. That was where yaya n I spent most of our weekends together before we went to Brisbane. Yaya is a water baby. She and water, tidak boleh dipisahkan. So last Saturday, I took yaya n thirah for a deep. We went to the wading pool first for a splash time with thirah. Thirah was so scared, she didnt want to leave me, clinging on me all the time (terasa macam kaola ngan baby kaola la pulak). Unlike yaya, thirah has never been exposed to a pool. Maybe that is why she felt uncomfortable.
Yaya, tak payah citer laa, persuading me to go into the big pool. Later thirah started sneezing, she was getting cold. I gave thirah to babah to take her home, while I took yaya for a swim. It has been 1 year and half, I managed to swim just 100 meter, lepas tu pancit. Yaya pun dah lame tak swim, so she was bit scared to let go of my hand. At 10 we went up, to get ready to go out.

Yaya birthday party : the cake
Two cakes, but not all for Yaya. This was a joint-birthday celebration, celebrating Yaya and her cousin, Dina birthday (actually Dina was born on the 16 of Oct. kira advance birthday celebration la nie). Yaya's birthday cake was a simple butter cake with vanilla icing. Masa nak order tu, ingat nak design disney cartoon character, malangnye kedai kek King's dah tak buat design camtu. Katanya kontrak ngan disney dah abis. Jadi pilih la design bunga-bungaan ditambah dengan figurine doll ngan payung aje.
We brought the birthday candle from Brisbane. Babah has requested for these candles. Satu hal la pulak nak pasang 13 candle tu. Yaya nak tiup pun jenuh...hahhahahah
Yummy...dah lame tak makan cake with icing nie.... hehehe

Yaya birthday party : The food
On the 4th day of Syawal, we held a small makan-makan event in relation to Yaya and Dina (Dina is my brother's youngest daughter) birthday. It was just a small feast, so we invited only relatives and close friends. All home cook meal. My sistah, the chef cooked laksa penang and nasi goreng cina, while others grill lambs and chicken.
So that morning, pagi-pagi lagi dah kuar gi pasar beli ikan n mee laksa, gi Giant beli ayam pieces. We have ordered marinated lamb shoulder a day before, but the thing will only be ready after 12pm. I marinated the chicken (under my sistah advise of course). The makan-makan thing started at 3pm. So atang has to went up and down to Giant to get the lamb and the birthday cake.
lalat pun datang tanpa jemputan, kena pasang lilin, yang kejap2 padam sebab ditiup angin.
the spread...
the BBQed lamb, chicken and sausges. Oh yes and ice-creams for all kids. Nothing much, alhamdullillah hampir semua licin. Total guest (approximate) 40+.

For those who are still in school (especially grad studs)
Soalan yang tak lekang dari mulut kengkawan, sedara mara, bila berjumpa.. "How's life in Brisbane??". "How's your study?". My response to the 1st question : "OK laaa... the people are great, the place is nice, but nothing compare to Malaysia laaa....".
My response to the 2nd question: "Hmmm... there are ups and downs. Mostly stressful. Sometime OK, sometime feels want to run away." hehhehehe.....OK laaa...tak mo citer panjang. I have promised myself not to talk about my study in this blog. I only have 1 reason for that, laluan masing2 tak sama, and it all depends on your will to survive serta keredhaan dari Allah.
Apa-apa pun....kalau stress n boring gilosh.... jom layan comic strip kek bawah nie...

Pre-raya : Bermantai
Bermantai...nie istilah orang nogori. Maknanya berkumpul untuk menyediakan juadah raya. Tahun nie ada program bermantai besar-besaran pulak anjuran kerajaan nogori. Baguih la tu, tradisi macam nie elok diteruskan. Selalunya bermantai nie mulo dongan tumbang (sembelih) kobau atau lombu (eceh cakap nogori pulak). Memang 2 ari sabolum rayo nie, kek mano-mano torbit la goghai orang jual daging lombu (kalau tak paham, buek2 paham yo).
Tapi kat rumah nie, takde la buat mantai camtu. Mak awal2 dah order daging n ayam kek pasar ampangan nun. Santan pun dah order siap2. Jadi 2 ari seblum raya, mmg sibuk la omak prepare bahan untuk buat rendang. Tahun lepas along kena balik awal, tolong omak. Tahun nie sobab ese ado, ese la yang kopek bawang2 tu sumo. Macam biaso la.
Sambil kopek bawang tu, omak selalu la bukak cito, kisah2 lamo dia bermantai dulu. Mmg meriah la orang dulu2 bermantai. Tinggal kek kampung, sedara mara pun duduk dekat2. Omak kato, dulu seminggu seblum raya dah sibuk dah, turun kan kelapo, tumbuk beras, buat kerisik, hai macam2.... la nie keluarga dah jadik nukleus kan...makin mengecil....jadi masak utk keluarga sendiri aje laaa....
Kami tak buat lemang. Takdo orang nak tunggu kek api tu yo. Jadi tradisi kami, pulut kunin omak laaa.... lomang boli ajo.....
Malam rayo pulak sibuk dengan hal2 kemas rumah bagai. Along pulak seperti biasa, prepare bahan2 utk masak lauk untuk raya pertama. Second chef in the family. Ese sou-chef ajo...hahahhahahhaha...tapi tahun nie ese kena buek kuah kacang, ganti tompek omak (kira dah handal la tu...egeggegeg).
Sebelum tido malam raya tu....sempat layan takbir suci 3. Mati jugak si nora tu ye (ke idup kembali nanti). Itu aje la kisah pra-raya ese. Sorry takde gambar...namo pun sibuk kan....gegegegege

Pre-raya : Inai 20
Nie entry pra-raya. Lepas nie entry semua pasal cerita-cerita sepanjang minggu pertama raya, kira entry basi...hehehhe..... and to make things much easier for me (masa sangat-sangat suntuk sekarang, pejam celik pejam celik, tak lame lagi balik Brisbane, keje banyak lagi belum selesai), bahasa yang digunakan terpaksa 'dirojak'kan...hahahha... so please, please bare with me ya.
Sehari sebelum raya, mmg amat sibuk. Selain dari sibuk bermantai masak rendang, pulut, kuah kacang dan sebagainya, sibuk nak siapkan pakaian, kemas rumah, siapkan kuih raya etc... Lagi, sehari sebelum raya lazimnya kami ke kubur arwah wan kat jln sikamat tu sebab kalau pergi pagi raya mmg amat2 la sesak. Jadi sibuk lagi untuk sediakan campuran bunga dengan daun pandan untuk ditabur di atas kubur nanti.
Yaya has been reminding me about henna. Dari raya tahun lepas, tapi kat Brisbane tak bawak henna paste tu. Dah agak-agak lengang sikit, mula la operasi memakaikan inai. Yaya sorang aje nak pakai, sepupunya mira tak nak pakai (dulu mira suke pakai, I guess she is out of this thing now because of her age). When comes to wearing henna, Yaya can sit still for as long as she was asked too. Sanggup tu. Kalau tak bercinta nak suruh dia duduk diam.
haaaa....this is the outcome.....
Gaya sakan la makcik tu ....

Old Town White Coffee, apa statusnye ye??
We took Athirah to Rekha's clinic for the BCG jab. In Australia, they don't provide BCG immunisation to babies. Sian thirah, for two days in a row she had to face uncomfortable situation. Yesterday we took her for 'bersunat', today for a jab. Alhamdulillah she is OK, except for a slight increase of her body temperature today.
Right after the jab. We went straight to Jaya Jusco to buy something for my niece, Irdina's birthday. Though we had celebrated her birthday together with yaya's (the story is coming soon), we havent bought anything for Dina for that occasion.
When we arrived at JJ, we noticed that there is no longer free parking (unless you spend not more than 2 hours at JJ). OK la....the management should implemented it, cuma, keadaan jalan tak sesuai. Kalau banyak kereta, this will create a long Q that would later cause problem to traffic flow. Hope the management will look after this matter.
Anyway, sampai aje, our stomach were rumbling. So we decided to find a place for lunch. We have been tempted to try Old Town since we arrived in Malaysia (nie pengaruh blogger-blogger yang pernah ke situ la nie...hehehe). To the kopitiam we went, dissappointed we found takde tanda Halal at the restaurant. So we were a bit curious akan halal nye makanan kat situ. We circled the kopitiam 2 times, looking for any Halal certificate displayed at the kopitiam. Sad to say, there is none. Yes we are particular with this thing because a number of reasons. Kan dah banyak kes kesahihan makanan halal kat Malaysia nie. Plus living abroad has teach us a lot about halal product. Many times I have came across product that I found contain non-halal substance in Brisbane being sold in Malaysia. Yela, kat Brisbane baru tau pasal non-halal substance nie, kat Malaysia tak pernah ambil tau, kira lalai dan ambil advantage sebab produk di bawa masuk ke Malaysia kan.
Anyway, because there is none Halal certificate displayed at the kopitiam, dah timbul syak kan... so...bila dah curiga jatuh la hukum kan... so we changed our plan and went to TCRS for our lunch. Lagipun staff kopitiam tu sume sahabat mata sepet kita. Sorry, we are very particular about this.
Anybody knows about the Halal status of the kopitiam? We even made query at the information desk about the status, and they too were not sure about the status. Anybody?? Sebab kalau betul halal, nak la rasa roti famous kopitiam tu.

Salam Eid Mubarak....scroll down a bit for new entry
Sorry, couldn't update as often as I used too (ya ka?). We have no access to internet at VSP. Plus, most of the time we were out, settling things, and did raya shopping. Now we are back in Seremban. And before things getting out of hand (nak raya faham-faham aje)... plus some research things that need to be done before Monday. So I think I should write up a few entries before 'berehat memblog' for awhile, and let it auto-publish later.
To all my friends out there, sape-sape aje..sume-sumenya, wherever you are. We would like to wish you

Berhati-hati ketika berjalan raya
Mana kengkawan yang ada di Seremban, jemput la datang ke rumah ayahanda bonda saya. Jangan lupa duit raya untuk 2 puteri kami ya....gegegege...sehingga jumpa lagi... jaga diri semua.
