POTDIKSEN 28 - 30 Nov 2008

Oklah…dah abih episode sedih…sambung balik acara2 yg dah terlepas, hahaha gigih nak upload gak.

Pas balik dr bersokan tuh, aku membuta, bangun mamai. Greeted by another hot moment courtesy of bibik, I suspected that Hannah was overdosed with paracetamol !! Her legs were red with rashes and a bit swollen when I came home. Found out Bibik gave her ubat demam from the day that I went for game till I came back. Man x prasan coz masa dia kt umah x de plak dia bagi, he thought dah stop la. Don’t know whether she’s stoopid or what but the dialog was something like this.

Aku : Bila yang terakhir kamu bagi ubat demam ?
Bibik :Jam 9 pagi tadi
Aku :Hannah demam lagi ke ?
Bibik : Taaaaaaakk !! (Sila imagine kesungguhannya).
Aku : Semalam di bagi ubat ?
Bibik : Iya, jam 8, 12, 4 dan paling akhir jam 8 mlm. (Siap kira ngan jari ye..)
Aku : Semalam Hannah demam ke ?
Bibik : Taaaaaaakk
Aku : Kalau tak demam kenapa dikasi obat ? Kan saya udah bilang ubatnya bagaimana prongprang@!#$@$%%^&^*&(**.

And I turned into a monster.

Monster pun masuk dapur…masak pasta.

Dah masak, monster dh jadik kecik comei balik tapi muka cam haram. Lepas dinner, campak all bags and foodstuffs into my SIL’s car. Dropped bibik at MIL’s. Dropped kidz at Kum0n and off to OTK to get some food and cream for Hannah. I need to flush the meds thru water, sib baik dia ni suka plain water (x mcm ibu dia hikhik) . Went back to Kum0n centre to pick them kids and pay the fees. Urrgh gone another RM300.

P0RT DICKS0N…tell you ah, if not because of BeeAnnAm’s resort I don’t think PD will be in our list of weekend getaway. Yeah, I got so lucky and awarded another room back to back. Bukan senang nak dpt woo since it is a balloting system. Had a break at Seremban R&R while waiting for my BIL to join us. Merangkak all the way to our resort coz it rained like crazy. Very short visibility. Reached PD by midnight. Thot everyone exhausted tetiba layan citer Wall-E plak. Rasanya 2am baru sumer tido.

Pagi2 buta dah ajak terjun pool. I made nasi goreng for breakfast 1st and vrooom keceburr…splash splash for about 2 hrs. Balik bilik sumer famished and gobbled nasik goreng, roti bakar sandwich sampai tersandar sambil layan Mamma Mia…honey honey…voulez vous ahhak...gediks ah citer nih, giler fun…

Since we had a brunch, lunch was delayed till babah came. Babah kena kirje sbb Burs@ ada UAT hehe. Babah sampai lambat (together wil MIL & bibik) and we went out jalan-jalan @ Teluk Kembang. Pastu sambung dinner. Masa kat pantai, Hanis & Adan lepas geram naik kuda 2x sbb RM5 jek seround. Hannah rembat bola sebijik. Balik bilik aku flat, pening kepala. My BIL balik KL. Tau2 dah pagi ada org heret tangan ajak gi pool lagi…layannnn

Reheat pasta sauce and boiled the pasta for breakfast. Dah kecut2 tangan, balik bilik for brunch and packing. My check-out time was actually on Monday, so we can check-out anytime on Sunday. We split our way, my SIL, MIL, bibik n Hanis went back to KL while our car headed to Seremban to drop my sister who started her practical on Monday in Melaka. So Yaya, klu ko nampak ada budak nama cam, lesung pipit cam aku, sengih2 sambil ckp ‘Selamat datang ke Menara Tam1ng Sariii…’. Haha besarlah harapan itu adik aku. Masa aku call dia before raya haji nak tanya bila balik raya, dia gelak2 katanya tengah busy rehearsal…nak sambut Shah Rukh Khan kehkehekeh…Melaka dan SRKnya.

Bagi dia grad kat kolam kecik dulu, montot baby memang boleh auto-float gitu, letak je dlm air..slowly kaki ngan montot naik. Mak dia jek berat montot + penakut. Lalu Jembatan Penang pun aku tutup mata, seriau2 apatah lagi meletakkan my fatty a$$ dalam air... sila ambik perhatian jejaka kat belakang buat gaya jamesbon kuar dari air...

Beria dia ajak aku naik balik, gi kolam kecik balik...itu sebelum dia mengenali kolam yang besau itu...apsal adik aku buat gaya zombie antu cina ? Dia adalah selim...

Sudah masuk...no look back la kan hahaha Kami berkubang sampai la nak meletup ubun2. PAstu barulah naik...bekpes pun belom nih...terjun kolam ngan taik mata.

Inilah barisan kita...Paksu, Maksu, Along, Chenik, Aciq, Adan, Ibu & Hannah yang dok meragaih aku, nak pi mana ntah...

Masih lagi...

Dalam mood sayang kengkawan & dept ni....

Tema : Gumbira

Seblom berpisah aku ngan geng2 bekpesku (lunch jua tapi aku slalu skip, tidoooo...) sempat la upgrade selera, kami makan besaq..memang besaq sampai mamat waiter yg agak cun tu siap tnnya betoi ka main course + appetiser sumer2 TUJUH !! Sure dlm hati dia..buruk lantak fomfuan2 ni...

Sampai jek appetiser laju jek belasah, kang sampai food memasing x muat meja tuh...

Adegan2 manja dan poyos sebelum lipstick hilang (sape pakai lipstik ?). Gambar2 adalah tanpa kebenaran tuanpunya body, harap maklum.

Ni Ila, Hana and Sakinz


Eh, cute plak awek seblah Ct Zu ni...

Mereka adalah GENG BekpesKu lalalalala Geng BekpesKu (sila tiru lagu Geng Bas Skolah untuk lebih mendalam dan bermakna). Aku pasti bujang2an x paham motif letak lagu ni tapi kalo makpak sure taunye lah...

Sangat gumbira di perut dan di hati. Pastu tetiba cam hilang ingatan, x ingat jln balik opis, tau2 dah kat bukit b1ntang..help help...

Tema : Sedih-sedihan

Org sebok pack aku sebok clickclick sana sini. Yelah aku kan setia di sini, jaga dept kot2 org curi brg2 opis...ada la org dept yg sayang kat aku tuh, x nak lepas...perasan adalah perlu.

Tema : Gumbira lagi

Pastu, dept kami kan ada ala2 kelab gitu pastu ada 3 team..team kami champion..dapat la $$ berhengget2. Order pizza..melantak ramai2...4rat++ gak la sumer2...haha Kesedihan akan hilang sewaktu operasi mengunyah, aku yakin..sangat berkesan taktik itu.

Me Lonely

Pause to all the delayed entries, this is what’s happening. Lintas langsung from my ‘new workplace’.

I think I’ve been denying the fact the current situation in my office is affecting me…quite badly…until today. When all the workstations left empty and when I have to search their name from other dept's IM directory. When I have no more real newspapers to read for free (supplier = Zaim1). When I have to tap all incoming calls asking for no-longer-around-colleagues. My breakfast mate are all gone except for 1, she will be going too…even further away to Down Under.

I looked around and I feel lonely…a bit sad and empty. I won’t be seeing all the familiar faces anymore. I mean they are still around in the company but all scattered and most of them are now in HQ. I’m not super close to all of them especially juniors but still, after having them around, it does feel different.

My dept is officially D1SBANDED, yes you heard me right, D1SBANDED. Though they call it RESTRUCTUR1NG, more fancy I think but it won’t change the fact that there are no more IT exam-iners in BeeAnnAm. All will be transformed into commercial/financial exam-iners (that’s ‘auditor’ for you out there). So all of us were ‘shipped’ to the new dept starting last week. It won’t affect the newbies that much but for ppl like me who has been pushing the job grade ceiling for the past 2 years, it’s quite demoralising. Coz, now you are back to square one, you’ll be rated as junior for the next appraisal. Not to mention the not-so-recent salary hike which did not do much justice to all the seniors. I mean having juniors who had no idea what DeeRP and BeeCP is all about but earning just 500 less than you who toiled for 7 years. How do I know ? Mmm..they proudly telling each other...

YES, I AM COMPLAINING, I AM WHINING. Gimme a chance to do that, so that I have a proper closure for this episode.

But then, since I won’t quit this place. I sit back and think. Semua ni ketentuan Allah, pasti ada hikmah tuu...maybe rezeki aku ada kat sini…I should not be looking at the closed door too long for I will miss the other opened doors, right ? Think about others who were force out of their job. I still have mine, earning quite a decent $$. Bersyukurlah sikit cik puan Zie oiii..

This entry is dedicated to all my friends who are now in JPOne, JPTwo, JPThree, JDSPee and one sesat girl in Pruden. I miss you all..huhu I’ll see in in HQ if I manage to ‘escape’. Thanks for the memories (Cecel1a Ahern gitu…) . TQ for being my friend, semoga sukses di SANA and now that you’re away, I would appreciate your online comment hehe all this while can do direct verbal comment maa.

This was taken during farewell for Abg KAssem, tapi sesoai la ngan tema entry aku arinih

To my breakfast mate, I will never forget our nasik lemak makcik jembatan + teh ais routine. Korang dah takde haku x de selera nak turun makan lagi dah. So hikmah dia, bley la sambung operasi diet yg terbantut aritu (ahh..x sudah2...turunnya tidak)

I miss those who are away (Hanom) and out of the co. (Gee and K.Mai) too. Suddenly it’s too overwhelming, I can’t and I won’t stop the tears for one last time coz…aku nak gi onsite plak pasni ni hahahaha wish me luck for I need it badly.

Majulah Sokan untuk Kompeni

Balik jek LKWi, aku kena perah tenaga kat court plak, main apalagi...pingkepong la kan ? Ada aku reti main game lain ? hehe

Senjata aku yang aku gilap 2x je setahun

Dipendekkan cerita, aku check-in hotel Or1ental Crystal kat tgh2 pekan tuh. Hubby and kidz sent me there. Oh so sedih to leave them behind (Hannah had a mild fever) and to think that I have to carry and play with my engorged mammaries. Sydde, ko tanya kan cemana ropa hotel yang aku duduk aritu kan ? Nilah dia..best gak...

Khamis, 1st game menang, petang kalah. Konon lunch tu nak jejak kasih ngan member skolah, skalik dia demam and geng lain patah kaki. So aku balik melepek kat hotel. Dalam hati nak jek aku call Dd ajak hoya2 tapi tgk cuaca kat luar...umang aaii...

Ni rumet aku, all the way from Penang

Dlm kol 6 gitu, kami turun kekonon nak g dinner. Brekfast jek free kat hotel hehe..elok sampai lobby tu dia aih...ujan kemain lebat, guruh kilat kebaboom...zasss. Ngeri la pulak. Pastu doorman ckp payung tggl 1 jek. Aku soh rumet aku pi dinner sorang2 so bleh la dia pi mana2 kedai pun.

Aku naik, layan bathtub...hmmm sorga sorga donia...berendam sampai kecut and put on pyjama, pulled the blanket, called the kids, watched the idiot box and pampered my lazy @**. Pastu adala jeling2 buku, study la konon. Dah pkl 10...lapar beb, rumet aku dah melingkau dlm blanket. Call teamate jantan depa dok b'dengkor baik punya...aku buat kopi, baca buku Zzzz baca buku Zzzzz. Jantan2 itu tidak merespon SOS aku. Tiba-tiba....opismate sms tnya kabar, dh makan ke blom. Dgn jujur dan ikhlas dlm mamai aku jwb blom. Tetiba dia sms balik kata dah on the way. Mlm2 buta sorang diri drive nak bwk aku gi makan. Sila nangis ye...TQ very much cik CT Zu. I was indeed starving and u saved my tummy. Horrayy... Memang siriyes lapar tp x sangka awak sanggup drive gi amek kita pastu mkn kat tempat besh lak tu. V1llage view. TQ TQ TQ. Balik bilik dlm 12++midnight.

Next morning, lost another game but I think this one we kalah bergaya hahaha can ah like dat ? From Day 1, I had a tense moment with the captain for putting a line-up based on his short stint with us. I know who’s my best partner ok. Don’t simply split us based on your fancy. When he said that I played so well in the last game, I just rolled my eyes. I told you like n-th times.

I forgave him later coz he sent me right infront of my house though he freaked out all the way from main road up to my gate. So funny watching him went pale with alamak, ish ish & fuhh thrown in between. He’s single but drive-new-H0nda-Civic-and-wedding-will-be-in-Merak-Kayangan type of people, mana tak freaked out bila aku bawak masuk area stingarden aku nih. Hehe. Team yg menang ada semi-final on Sat. Dalam hati aku...bagus gak sbb aku ada agenda lain. Main x ikhlas tu psl la kalah....ececeh tetiba salahkan niat plak..padahal memang team belasahan.

Korang perasan tak ada 'Dato-K' dlm team aku ?

Look at them hard peeps, we are one of the team with YOUNGER players. So just imagine how veteran are others hahaha definitely no chances to cuci mata lah…all pakciks makciks and I’d rather stare at my teammate hahaha

Sampai je rumah, unpack, tido jap and sambung packing lagi….eh..nak gi mana pulak ni?

Hasil Rampasan

Since ramai (perasan !!) yg tanya mana hasil rembatan aku masa pi LKWi

Before aku pi sana, kekunun kan diet, turun ler 4kg in 1 week, yelah 2kg jek air, kira 2kg jelah lemak lemuni yg hilang. Kuat semangat kunun. Bila pi diet kemana aku kemana…di bwh minda sedar, aku 'ter'borong choc sampai dkt2 400 hengget gak la…gilo apoo...

(Nota : Imbuhan 'ter' selalunya membawa maksud 'tidak sengaja' seperti termakan, terhidu dan terbeli)

Pastu, beli la Visi0ns baru ganti yg dah pecah 2. Aku beli yg besar sket 2 set. Next trip la kot beli set yg lain2. Belasah casserole C0rning yang 5 beradik tuh, pastu yg kotak gedabak tu perasan la nk masak menu yg byk garnish ala2 laksa, soto, mee kari...angan2 jek buat masa ni.

Ni plak brg2 yg beli as souvenir kat LKWi and Pdg Bsr..towel, baju, keychain, brooch etc. Belah kanan tu brg2 kecik mcm serving cutleries, pisau, serving bowl 3 beradik for my MIL. Yang bawah tu takkan x cam kot...tempat jatuh tergolek lagi di kenang apatah lagi tempat jatuh chenta...

Itu jek yg boleh sumbat, tu pun 2 knapsack dh letak kat kaki. Kira 2,3 kali hempas la jugak bonet baru t'tutup. Bukak je bonet keter gedebak gedebuk jatuh brg2...gila overflow.

The One That We Rented

As I jakun-ly mentioned in my earlier post, I was beyond kagum with the place that we stayed in Langkaw1. My company resort (payment thru salary deduction..bukan free ye). Another benefit that made me feel that I've made the right choice to jump-in 7 years ago.

Enjoy some of the pix that I managed to snap. At last, Man can see and visualize THE tingkap and doors that I've been talking about all this while whenever we berangan-ed about our new house.

Dari depan : Entrance thru Main Hall on right, thru dining on left

Entrance thru Dining Hall

The Main Entrance that was hardly used (ehem..the tingkap)

Main Hall, receiving area

The main area, on the left, exit to kitchen n rooms

Open air concept for middle of the earth house (ehemm..the tingkap AGAIN)

Turn left and you will be cooking a storm, complete kitchen with laundry room : washer, dryer and iron

Move on and you'll see 3 rooms at G floor

Up to master bedroom with balcony, can watch kids at pool from here

The other room on the 1st floor.

5 rooms than can easily accomodate 9 adults. All rooms are equipped with their own bathroom (towel & toilettries provided just like hotel) and TV with ASTRO. Daily housekeeping. Daily newspaper. Bike rent. In-room service (chargeable upon check-out) .

1st room : 1 single bed to store all 'harta rampasan'

2nd room : 2 single beds put together occupied by Along, Adan n Nadia.

3rd room : queen bed with balcony for bibik

4th room : 1 queen bed reserved as KUMoN's room

5th our room lah with huge bathroom complete ngan jacuzzi.

Ini adalah nota hasil nukilan bibik aku yang kuat berangan and selalu perasan dia tourist, pi mana2 sebok nak tulis guest book.

Sila take note ye...nota ni ditulis oleh : Rusb1ah dari G0MBAK. Kemain org gombak ni ye..

Last Day of Our North Trip (23 Nov)

Pelengkap cerita, last day kami kat Utara, Woke up to a local breakfast courtesy of our host and we (+ Shahaq & family) vroomed to Pdg Besar. Bought few things and yes Ayu..brooch tu sgtlah murah and menyilaukan mata aku sampai ilang ingatan, dah murah ‘terpaksa’ la beli. Sapa soh jual murah2, kan kan ?

harus ada gambar bukti

We left with a a heavy heart, klu x kerana bonet keter nak cecah tanah mmm mau aku kirai duit lagi beli brg2 hiasan rumah. Not much into baju2 sumer tuh. When we left, we’re far behind original schedule, akan tetapiiiiii..

Adan had been asking us ‘Bawakla Adan pegi tempat ibu jumpa babah’. Over and over again dari dulu lagi...masa pi 2005, Changloon tenggelam banjir. Since we’re not sure when are we coming back to north, we decided to detour and tadaaaa….

tengah matahari rembang, gila babeng panas. Along snap pastu cepat2 masuk keter

This is where ibu and babah met 15 years ago when we both had our own sweetheart. Ambikk Kids..this is where ibu and babah had one of the most memorable period of their life. We don’t spend our time bertenet like no tomorrow though. We lived in our own world. Friends first then only boipren hahaha This where I met most of my close friend (all the aunties..Dd, Eline, Ezzah, Zilla, blabla and the whole lot)

Aku penah keje kat kedai yg betul2 depan BSN masa matrik, masa tu depa juai pakaian. 2,3 bulan skali dapat la sluaq and baju pree stock clearance, baju out of season hehe. Jadikla...Tauke dia student final year, chinese guy.

Selang 2,3 pintu ada kedai Mat Jack x-rumet Man, kedai roti jual feberet hotdog aku hehe syiok tgkhotdog dok berpusing ala2 Eye 0n M'sia...hehe

I bought something for Hanis & Nadia from Koop and decided to visit our eating spot in Changloon for lunch. The place looked the same and the food tasted the same. Wuhuuu. Hanis was all smiling and laughing when I told her that this the place that ibu and babah berdating.

Salah satu spot bertenet

Kedai moto Kent, tempat Man godek KAJ5583

We decided that we had no time to detour to Bkt Gantang again. It was raining heavily the moment we entered Perak, all the way to KL. Took a break at Gng Semanggol and safely arrived in KL around 10pm++ on Sunday. Monday, back to work waarggggggghhh

Sekian terima kasih.

Itulah ceritera saya berfoya2 di Langkawi bersama keluarga. Sungguh best sekali. Hati saya gumbira dan saya masih rasa gumbira sampai ke hari ini terutamanya bila memasak di dalam periuk Visions baru saya. La la la la la

Ambik kau...

Ecececehhh....kekonon seminggu ye break, hamek kau nak dekat sebulan gak la aku x membloggerkan diri aku. So secara otomatik, aku bukanlah blogger yg tegar hahaha...tetiba hehe

Nak kena start recall balik acara2 yg aku x sempat muat-naik nih, gila byk.

1. Perabih citer basi - Langkawi (19-22 Nov 2008)

2. Sokan kat Bangi (26-28 Nov 2008)

3. Coti2 kat PD plak ( 28-30 Nov 2008)

4. Lepak Puncak Jal1l & Cyberjaya (28-29 Dec 2008)

5. Mabuk kat MPH (31 Dec 2008)

6. Skolah punya hal

Byk lagi tapi mcm x leh nk recall dah...so get ready for my non-stop entry (ye lah tu) before I move on to my NEW boring working life yang boleh membantutkan sifat2 blogger ku...

So starting from yesterday, after 2 blissfull years of heavenly break, I'm back into the field as the most hated person in banking industry, tadaaaa....the aud1t0r..examiner..supervisor...clap clap clap

BTW, I was exempted from taking the said exam due to medical reason (got to do with my 1UCD and the fact that I was hit by a van on zebra crossing). So much for taking break and melepek kat library 4 one full week. Will sit on 21 Feb.

BREAK

I have an exam to sit on 20th and I've yet to start flipping any pages. Memang trait aku lah ni..study last minute mautnyer. 600 pages to be memorize. yes memorize coz the exam will quote all methodologies, modelling, examples and name of security-related applications available on the market an the Net. Kill me now...

So I'm taking a very short break from BLOGGING and BLOGHOPPING. 1 week oni hehe coz this 2 xtvts are sort of addictive. Once you start clicking, and reading....it's endless. Got a lot of stuffs to post but than can wait. I'll end this post with 2 news, 1 mixed of good & bad and 1 not so good.

Good & Bad News

We got the key to our new house sans the CF so no reno work can be done. No reno no move. No move no housewarming. So wait till the cows come home lah...huhu

Not So Good News

It's been 24hrs since Hannah last feeding thru the bo0bies. I'm weaning her off. I've decided that she should be fine with formula, fresh milk, tea blabla from now on.

sob sob...it feels like losing something, the bonding I think. After more than 2 years having her close to me, warming my body at night (it's time for babah plak..haha kidding). I've to do it for my own well being. I haven't had a proper sleep for the past 2 years. She' the type who'll wake up every 2, 3 hours for feeding..till now and she'll be holding onto it until my back felt numb. My back is hurting me. I woke up every morning feeling dizzy, disoriented and very very tired but life goes on. I normally took a 10-min nap every morning in the office. Imagine having to wake up every few hours throughout the night for the past 2 years.

I realised that long ago and tried to wean her off. All failed coz I felt the milk is too precious to be wasted, as you know I have aplenty. Last month, I checked myself into the hotel for tournament. After soo long, I got my 1st uninterrupted sleep, 2 days in a row. Wow...it was so good and I want to feel that way again.

I'm not complaining or whining coz breastmilk is the best thing you can give to your child. But when you have a baby who is soo clingy at night, in the long run it'll affect you phisically and mentally. I'm feeling it now and would like to put a stop to it. Mothers have to take care of themselves so that she can take better care or her family, right ?

Earlier I've tried so many tips and all failed, name it, bakawali, lipstick, belacan, kicap . I even put salt whenever she woke up but that also failed to stop her. And I just bowed after she cried and cried and cried. Hannah 10 Ibu 0. Last night, I wore a dress with no button and no stretchy collar, so she won't be able to pull out the milk machine. She cried and got cranky all the way and I made myself tougher inside, I'm not bowing out this time... She relented at last and requested for susu (read : formula). But....she insisted that the bottle to be inserted inside my dress as if she's having it direct from my body. Sian kan ? I cried and I laughed. I hold her tight last nite and we both slept like a baby.

Dear Hannah,

you were FULLY BREASTFED for the 1st 12months of your life

you were FULLY BREASTFED after 5PM for the next 12months of your life

you were FULLY BREASTFED during BEDTIME till now

I gave you the best-est and yummy yum yum-est milk in the world for 29months and I think it's time for you to let go. Gonna miss our 'intimate' moments.

From now on, I'll be missing your 1st shout whenever I reach home...'Ibuuuuuu...muah...nak nenen' [sila imagine Puss in Boots dlm Shrek]

I sign out with engorged boobies love

Tips: If you have the time and chances to prepare and bottle-feed your child, do it yourself. Don't let the maid to prepare, hold and feed them. It's your right and grab it while you can.

Jom Layan Langkawi Day 4 (22 Nov)

The next morning, all exhausted, Babah dragged his feet to get the breakfast while me x habis2 ngan packing. Bebudak tu begged for one last round at the pool and Babah just can’t say no, so another keceburrr session till 11am++. Checked out at noon. Goodbye Sr1K1jang, I'll be here again definitely...

Had speedy lunch at Wan Thai..hahaha sempat lagi tuh. Order nasik goreng jek kali ni with Som Tam and Pulut Durian..mmpphh marbeles though the pulut was a lil bit suwit even for my tekak.

Funny moment, all except babah ran for toilet at the same time including Hannah annnnd Hanis got herself locked inside the toilet, sib baik aku ada kat situ. Take note parents, check out the lock type before letting them kids in hahaha it’s funny. Hot hot moment, I found out that bibik ‘forgot’ to put diapers on Hannah all the way from the restaurant until we boarded the ferry. Hai..mmg la ko menguji kesabaran aku…I mean aku pass Hannah kat dia while I’m busy with the rest in the toilet, yet she 'forgot' to do the 1st and most basic thing, apa dia berangan time pakaikan suar kt Hannah aku x tau. Fuh fuh…take a deep breath, she had been testing may patience lah esp during vacation.

The internal deco of the restaurant and my 'maknga' bibik

Landed at K.Perlis around 4++pm. Had to scrap our plan going to Pdg Besar. Spent the night at Shahaq’a house, his new house. They just moved in 2 days before hehe, kami la rasmi bilik2 dia haha. I wish I can have a house as big as that and as wonderful and scenic as that. Imagine a single storey bungalow, keliling bendang, dok atas bench dpn umah ngan angin b'tiup..pergh. Aku x brani nak snap hehe cam x sofan gitu kan sbb aku barely knew the wife, a doc. Luckily she'a a chatty one.

Aku sambung pack brg dlm bonet keter plak. Body rapat ke tayar tu babe. Went out for seafood galore but not at Linda coz we followed where the host brought us though we paid the bill. Melantak x hengat, ikan je dah 3 ekor, sotong 2 pinggan besar udang kerang blabla hehe baru RM120++. I heart KolaPeghelih. Ke'blogger'an aku = 0% hehe. So, no piccas.

Dengan perut kebuntat kami tido dalam bilik baru, katil baru, tilam bantal baru, aircon n kipas baru hahahaha. Daaaaaaaa….

Jom Layan Langkawi Day 3 (21 Nov)

It was raining and freezing cold. Hubby went out to get our breakfast while I sorted out kids’ clothes followed by a ‘briefing’ to bibik. Both of us planned to kirai duit in the morning and jelajah Langkawi for the rest of the day. We left the resort around 9.30am. I’ve no idea at all of the whereabouts of 1daman Suri, after few rounds in Kuah for price survey, we called someone and I was not surprise why I can’t find it. It’s waayy out of pekan. And to make it sweeter…it opens at 3pm on Friday. Yeah great, it's only 10.00 damn AM.

Since we’re oredi there, might as well get our ferry ticket. So there I was standing in the line only to be told ‘Tiket esok jual lepas pukul 11’. Seems like our ‘lucky day’ hehe

So..no fret, let’s do the jelajah 1st then. Called the house to get them ready. Picked them up and decided that we should visit the Beras Terbakar 1st followed by Makam Mahsuri. Cable car was closed for the rest of monsoon season so we skipped that route, so Telaga 7 and Pasir Hitam were automatically off the list.

I’ve never been to that site. When we parked, we saw that pintu gerbang, ok kids let’s go!! Only to be greeted by sepinggan beras in a box and 15 x 10ft of gated area in someone’s lawn. Erkk..tu je ke ? So we spent 15min to take obligatory piccas and the next 60min to bargain for souvenirs at the stalls hahaha so much hyped for the educational trip. Tips : Stuffs here is much2 cheaper than other places, provided that you know how to bargain (like me muahahaha)

We then zoomed to Makam Mahsuri, hubby dropped us at the entrance, he needed to rush for Friday prayers at the nearby mosque. I came here in 1995, it’s totally different now. They expanded and now it’s known as K0ta Mahsuri. Adult RM5, kids over 7yo RM2.50. I asked the children to read all the info plaques on display to better understand the whole Mahsuri saga (padahal, aku ingat2 lupa, cover line itu perlu…).

Unsangkarable, they got hooked and followed the trail and story. So I let them explore all the places and even paid for the guided tour in diorama. Aku tabik spring awek yg b’cerita ni. I should’ve taped her. Ayat dia perggh…memang tanpa segan silu klasik and loghat dia mmm I loike..

Punyala lama nk tggu geng2 kat telaga tu blah, siap mandikan anak, minum air mmm..

Suka ah rumah cenggini, ptg2 bleh duk atas boyan bwh umah.

A discovery. Haa ibu kecik2 pakai ni tau parut kelapa - kkore (core-rare - ngan huruf ghain tau)

inside the diorama house

We spent about 2 hrs there, ambik kau… other places won’t be that easy to cover so another obligatory site was Dataran Lang. All the way, we had to answer all kind of questions about the legend. Snap snap snap and rushed to Wan Thai again for lunch. Heheheh Close on Fri…&^%(^#$%*&.

Hannah tgh Zzz..klu x sure ran havoc

Since we were in Kuah, the shopaholic in me started to kick off. 1daman Suri here I comeeeeeee. Since Hannah was dozing, I left them in the car and I went crazy. Klu x kerana bonet keter ku yg kecik ho ho ho mau aku hangkut semoaaaaaa…Kat situlah aku jumpa Ayu hehe.

On our way back dh nak maghrib (aku sgt kejam sbb we have yet to hv a proper lunch. Lucky thing that they were snacking all the way). Singgah makan kat kedai tepi jalan near our resort. Kids managed to pujuk Babah to let them conquer the pool again. At 8PM !! I let them coz I had to crack my head with the packing strategy. Mmmmm..got 1 additional luggage heheheh. Sib baik packed all our stuffs in 1 small trolley bag and 1 knapsack when we came in. That's a feat ok, 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 toddler for 5 days. All in, diapers, formula, baju mandi blabla I always admire my ability to do smart packing hahaha hinns hinns….sila muntah.

That was our last night spent in that humongous, super comfort resort. Fenat, fuas and feh feh hahahaha

Direction to 1daman Suri :

From or to pekan Kuah, you’ll find one junction with a TIMED traffic light This is the only one (for now lah). U’ll see police station at that junction.

If you’re from Kuah to Cenang, turn RIGHT.
If you’re from Cenang, turn LEFT lah..

From there you just proceed, you’ll pass by a lots of government agencies buildings, at one point, you’ll see a flashlight for stadium on your right (lampu spotlight 4 bucu tu). Proceed and you won’t miss that building coz it’s yellow and it’s huge and it’s on your RIGHT. If you missed that building, ko memang x layak jadik shopaholic hahaha.
