Jom Layan Langkawi Day 2 (20 Nov)

Pepagi aku dah merayap ngan Man carik bekpes heavy sikit sbb nak gi island hopping. Dah beper kali pegi kali ni baru terbuka hati nak cuba. 9am kami sampai kat jeti belah2 P0rto Malai. Kena tggu sbb we opted for sharing basis. Dah cukup quorum baru jalan...masa ni aku lupa lak nasihat adik Yaya soh maintain sbb ada org snap gambar kat jeti. Apalagi..tertempek la muka aku yg tgh cebek kat pinggan seploh hengget tu.

Kami naik ngan 1 family from Ipoh, siap bawak nenek depa...baju kurung bagai occay...respek ah. Adan excited gila. All of them requested for outer seats. Kasik can lah. Jgn korang tercampak ke laut sudah.

Ni masa abang bot tu berenti kat satu spot to view the peknen lady. Agak jenuh jugak nak terangkan kat kanak2 ribena tuh. Mula2 sila terangkan makna bunting dulu ye puan2. Pastu mula dari kepala, tu dagu dia..haaa pastu nenen dia blabla...org depan aku dah gelak2 dah. Ni lah yg sempat capture sbb bot goyang2 and dia berenti kejap jek.

1st stopover - Tasik Dayang Bunt1ng

Masa ni aku ingat plak pesan Yaya. No plastic bag. Sgt banyak makhluk monyet itu, tggu masa nak grab. Aku ngeri gak takut dia lompat atas aku tapi bebudak tu suka sgt especialy Hannah..terjerit2 dia Monkey! Monkey ! Baby Monkey!.

Adalah sangat tidak baik tau tak bgtau awal2 yg tempat ni kena trekking. Masa naik tu aku dh ilang napas...60kg + 15kg. Hannah takde psl la kan nak jalan, kalau tanya dia boleh jwb 'Kaki hilang' hmmpfhhh. So imagine la bila aku sampai atas tu and tgk anak2 tangga yg turun ke bawah bersama batuan yg indah bagak dan melingkau, mcm nak pi bertapa...mengucap panjang aku. x tau la berapa kali aku berenti sedut oksigen. I owed zillion to my beloved babysling.

Kekonon fish therapy la ni, ikan keli haha. sib baik free

Ambik syarat, rendam kaki. Along dh buat muncung, nak mandi ibu x kasik !

Secara ikhlasnya, tempat ni adalah over-rated. Sekian tima kasih.

2nd stopover - Pantai Beras Basah

Kat jeti beras basah, masa ni kami bagi roti kat ikan. Cantik...

I have no idea why this spot chosen as another stopover. Ingatkan adalah apa2 yg spesel. Bila tanya org rupa2nya sekadar singgah mandi-manda or klu ada $$ extra bleh la layan parasailing ke banana boat ke. Klu korang penah pegi beach yg heaven cam Redang, Perhentian ke mana2, this place is like soooooooo pale in comparison, aku cam pening, apa aku nak buat sejam kat sini ooi...

Tapi dah bebudak tu nk layan air layan jela, terjun ngan baju tu je. Dah la tempat tu x best, ada la pulak satu geng kolej mana ntah sesat 2,3 bot, buat pantai tu cam tandas sendiri...takde la peepee or weewee tp menjerit2 tolak2 ludah kahak 4 saat skali..aiyooo. Tu blom awek2 yg dok seblah kitorang dressing perasan cam kat Malibu. Topi ngan spek besau bagaak tapi bikini ala ciputnya. Sungguh tidak kellas tau dress camtu pastu lepak Beras Basah, koro2 pun pi la Krabi ke Phuket ke. Chainsmoking x hengat, tattoo sana sini. Apa nak jadik anak melayu nih.

Ada couple baru kawin ni plak (mana aku tau ? hehe inai merah dijari, cincin merelip2 and operasi raba meraba haha sgt kepochi ok) mtk tolong bibik aku tgkkan brg2 diorang sbb diorg nak mandi, bila time nk balik bibik dh cam serba salah. Sorry la bang, ni bibik saya, saya nk balik saya angkut la dia. Sapa soh ko gi mandi x naik2 kan, tau la syok peluk2 dlm air sampai aku lambai2 pun x nampak hehehe

3rd stopover - Pulau Singa Besar

Eagle feeding, mula2 tu cam lama gak tunggu. Apsal la depa buat x tau nih. Agaknya dah kenyang kebuntat org asik bagi makan jek. Dah lama sket baru lah ada yg berminat. That's the end of edisi hop-on hop-off di pulau. Now I can strike this from my list of things I wanna do. Been there done that. Off from the boat to discover my hudus shot on display, bought it anyway hehe. For bibik as well, kemain suke...

Wet and all (ku paksa mereka berdiri di kereta muhahaha dkt jek less than 5min) we went back to change and dengan rajinnya pegi Kuah sbb nak try one restaurant recommended by our friend. Definitely scrumptious, yummylicious Thai food served at Wan Thai. And fast. As y’all know time to serve is always a big factor for us.

Alang2 dh kat pekan, detour japz kat Hj. 1smail, bought some chocz for ourself. Ckp jek 'some', habis gak 2rat. hehe I have love hate r/ship with you chocz..

Went back with overstretched tummy. Me, Man & Hannah lazed and dozed off. The wicked pool was calling and the kids were spellbounded. At times like this I felt it’s worth to bring my maid on vacation. I let them go under bibik’s supervision. Alas, it was a short relief. I woke up and peeked from my balcony. Bibik was sitting and daydreaming while looking away at the open sea. I watched for 10-full minutes and she don’t even budged when Adan slipped. Had to go and slap her back to reality.

They had fun, no one else there so the pool kita yang punyaaaaaa...kecebuurrrrrr

Ada gaya terjun olimpik tak ? Hehe

Adan, Along and Nadia

Muka org baru lepas t'telan air

Hannah and Babah joined later, they had a blast. I can’t join in the fun coz I was on red alert. We literally dragged them out from the pool. Went out to tapau some dinner while kids doing their Kum0n sheet. We retired quite early since nothing interesting showed on TV. Sounds boring eh…we don’t do night life peeps...

-----------------------------------------

Direction to Restoran Wan Thai :
From Kuah to Cenang : After the only TIMED traffic light (alaaa..yang ada timer how many seconds left before it turns to either red or green), stay on your right and turn right at the junction. Turn left after the 1st row of shoplots. You’ll see Bank Rakyat and BSN on your left. Proceed and you’ll see it on your LEFT. You won’t miss lah, it’s so obvious in yellow and typical Thai restaurant signboard.

From Cenang to Kuah : On your way to pekan Kuah, you’ll see KFC outlet on your left, about 200m before you reach the main town. Turn left immediately after KFC, turn right in the next junction and just cruise you way till you see the restaurant on your RIGHT. They have a clean bathroom aka toilet and surau inside their outlet. How convenient

Jom Layan Langkawi Day 1 (19 Nov)

Aku konon nak tiru Ayu ah kasik korang berpinau tgk gambar jek tanpa ayat2 cinta walopon aku sihat walafiat. Tapi..being me..aku nak gak citer. Kang x leh recall plak kejadian.

To kiddos, now you know tempat2 bersejarah and to myself do not underestimate their readiness for that kind of stuffs. Why ? Coz we almost skipped the historic places thinking that they won't be interested when in fact we are the one who took that places for granted. Take note ah ibu and babah.

As usual, we are not the species who were granted with the luxury of planning our getaway waayyyyy ahead. Mmg takde chance la nak book flight tix yg dirt cheap tuh. By the time kitorang konpem the trip. Flight ticket sudah bapak mahal...sudahnya naik keter jelah...

Blah from KL around 4am on the 19th sbb nak singgah Bkt Gantang tgk Pak Long yg dah uzur. Subuh kt Sg Perak, tapau bekpes untuk Wa skali. Sampai sana mandikan askar2, bekpes man sempat tolong Wa handle Pak Long yg dah bedridden. Sedihnya tgk, harap2 aku sempat berjasa kat parents aku klu2 diorg dlm keadaan camtu. Kami blah from Bkt Gantang around 9am. Sampai jeti, keter tinggal umah geng UUM gak, Mat Shahaq kat Kangaq (it rhymes..yay). Seblom naik feri grab Ramly burger sket buat bekal...nyum nyum syedapp.

Burger mereka sgt nipis kerana daun maun telah dikuis-kuis xcept for Hannah


Sgt sesak, tp sib baik kami conquer the whole row

Naik top deck x de org so lepak atas je, dak kecik ni klu ngan babah suka pose camni..

Sampai sana, amek keter, chow carik proper meal somehere kat Kuah only to be back at the Jetty for Kenny R0ger's since sumer org x leh decide nk makan apa or kat mana. Cilok belon bebanyak kat situ and blah to our lovely resort at Chenang.

Gambar ambik syarat, ada 3 first timer (last time Hannah still dlm perut)

I know this is a bit late but...izinkanlah aku menjakunkan diri aku dan kagum dgn resort itu. I knew that I booked a unit with 5 rooms akan tetapi...tidaklah aku menyangka akan kebagakan unit itu. Besssaaaaaar gilerrr. Patutla masa check-in mamat tu tanya aku 'Ramai ni je kak ?' hahaha dan dengan itu aku declare...'Aku Kagum dan Vangga'.

Master bedroom on top floor with huge balcony out there

1st day berlalu without any significant event except for ignoring 3 pouting kids who were not allowed to attack the pool yet. But we let them berkubang in our jacuzzi. Pastu dh sejuk2 keluar dinner kat tempat yg mmm how to describe that ah. No need lah.

End of DAY 1

Teaser for Langkawi Trip

Hahaha supo skalo....update blog lps setahun kejadian berlaku hahaha..

Aku super malas, kat opis bela b0ntot. I'm at the montel-est level now. Naik tangga 1 level cam lari 1km. Tido dh berdengkur2...Badan rasa x sedap manjang. Sapa soh diet b4 g travel, naik kemaruk hilang ingatan la kejapz.

Seblom aku upload gambor2 Langkawi sampai korang muntah, ni aku tujukan khas buat Sydde. Si ayam serama yg aku jumpa dlm reban (aci ke panggei reban ?) masa kat makam Mahsur1. Mmg aku snap gambor ni untuk hang...hahaha silalah terharu. Boleh la wat ubat rindu kat 'arwah' ayam ko yg apakenamanyantah.

BTW, dlm beribu riban kedai jual gamat kat sana, aku leh jumpa Ayu kat satu kedai gamat ni belah2 Cenang. Kat KL kemain susah nk jumpa, ni sampai 2x in 2 days. Day b4 dh cuit mencuit kat kedai pinggan mangkuk 1daman Sur1.

We Like It Move It Move It

Lepas orientasi Adan, malamnya kami berjemaah ke Pavili0n, layan Madagascar 2. The kids watched the 1st one so this movie automatically became tayangan wajib hadir la kan...

And...

We decided that Hannah should be included in the entourage. Adan n Along was 3 when we started bringing them to movie. So Hannah started earlier at 2yrs++...

Pkl 6 blah dari rumah, bibik tinggal hehehe sampai jek sana kena carik makan dulu. The confirmed fastest and sedap-est place = Mdm Kwan's. Ibu n babah stick to the usual Nasi B0jari, Along gorged nasik lemak while Adan x sudah2 ngan mushroom soup...nasik babah suap.

So considerate of them, they provided the plactic glass & bowl for babies without us requesting. Takdela aku risau anak aku pecahkan gelas ke hape kan ?... Menu Hannah mushroom soup + nasi b0jari. Awek ni mesti ada nasik. Ni dia marah aku x bagi dia main kamera.

Dah sudah makan, bawak all of them pi toilet, settle apa yang perlu, pastu lari2 carik surau kat basement. Movie at 8.15pm. Run Run...mengah mak ooi maklumla...badan sendiri pun dah dkt 60kg. So, it went well as planned, we brought Hannah in after they turned the lights off. She insisted to walk on her own, until she heard rumbling sound from the movie teaser. Hah amek kau, melompat dia suruh dokong. Babah bought the ticket few days earlier so dptla seat yg ok. 5 of us in a row, Hannah got her own seat hehe Once all seated and settled down. Babah went out to get some jajan.

After the screening, I think Hannah is more than ready for next movie trip.

Masa aku snap this pic, ramai plak penonton kt blakang, peminat Hannah

Sangat happy ini budak, yang ni dia x bagi aku snap gambar dia. Melompat sana sini...all the way.

Adan Took Another Step

15 Nov 2008 (Saturday)

Di hari Sabtu nan sejuk...terpaksa bangkit awai..yeah...sorang lagi anak aku nak masuk skolah. Rasa cam tua jek...tapi bila tgk mak bapak bebudak lain tetiba jek aku terasa sgt muda belia. Orientasi & exam jek dulu and to decide which class he will be assigned to. Beli siap2 buku tulis, tie, badge and all.

8.00 AM

10.30 AM

Aku agak gubra jugak, klu kelas dia kena kat 4th floor, naya budak nih. Bwk badan pun mengah, lagi mau hangkut beg skolah yg 100kg tuh. He will survive

Anak manja babah sorang ni...

1/2 hari di sekolah Along - 13 Nov

[Delayed Entry]

Sekolah bagi hadiah for their top ten students, so Hanis termasuk la jugak. She's so excited and kept on asking whether I'll be there or not. Some said 'pegi ke ? bukan top spot pun'. No matter how small, for me...it's an achievement. A mother always exaggerates when it comes to their kids. Sbb aku ingat how proud & happy I was seeing ma & abah in school during award ceremony when I was in primary. They must be proud as well as I sapu licin all the awards.

So with my limited cuti, we took 1/2 day leave since we have to rush to Adan's tadika to collect his harta sepanjang persekolahan and to say our TQs to all the teachers there. After 4 years of seeing then, we'll take a break or maybe it's final. Hannah lambat lagi...

Pagi2 dah hantar Hanis Q then we rushed to our roti canai stall, wallop 2 pieces. Dah settle sapedek, still early, so gi amek brg2 Adan dulu. Pastu cam biasa la join other proud parents. Clap clap clap

Sekolah bagi, aku dh belasah roti canai..hehe

Hanis dengan sofannya dan tudung x kelepet..

Saya Yang Bangga, Ibu Hanis

Saya Juga, Babah Hanis (kena paksa pegang clutch ibu)

Hanis and her bespren (Hazirah, Zuliana & Ain)

Congrats Hanis, enjoy your schooling period just like ibu & babah yonks ago.

We just enrolled her for KUM0N class coz she started to struggle in Maths, esp. the division. I mean really struggle sampai x leh jwb few questions in exam, ibu dia plak 'penyabar' orangnya. Adan join the club, jadi bodyguard kakak dia. 2 times a week 30-45 min each. We'll see how she fares.

Hari Tadah Telinga kat Sunw@y

Aku mcm dah terlupa yg aku kena gi conference on 5-6 Nov kat Sunway Conv. Ctr. Aku ambik cab from Jamek and pakcik tu advised ikut NPE hi-way nak elak jam kat Federal yg dah start even before MValley lagiks...merangkak until just before Angkasapur1. Perghhh...sesape yg exit dr situ memang la sakit..berderet even before exit toll.

After 15min & rm15 later. Aku dah terpacak kat hall. Gila awal, blom kol 8, organiser pun x siap lg hehe...lps register, tgk x de kopi pon, so aku merayap gi carik kopi kat hotel. Aku naik ke hall, skalik dia announce coffee will be served shortly..ceh..Baru jek nak manyantai diri tetiba...'Hi, Rose... !!'. (erkk hate that..? Rose DeWitt Bukater ke ? hanya yg tgk Titanic jek tau)

Gulppp !!

'Ye..boss, oh I thot oni me & dot dot dot is attending'

The BIG BOSS was there as well, sib baik aku x buat pe'el cam slalu, pakai smart kasual. Tau je la IT conference mana nak vogue2 sgt kan ?

After 2 days being observed from behind (yes, he chose a seat few rows behind us). He even asked me whether I was sleepy onot, during teabreak. Dang. Selamba aku jwb the topic is not that interesting, yeap cyberwar stats and events are all over the net, I lost my focus and would rather menyonteng the new 2009 organiser given to all participants. Lunch hour make a qucik dash around to find my dream sepatu in beige.

What do I gain from that 2-days conf. ? Adala jugak yang menarik & new things, the rest are things that we already knew. Other that that mmmmmmm new pair of superheels. Yay ! Mission accomplished.

Mlm tu jenuh kejar budak ni..you knowlah babies and heels...suka la sgt menyarung. Ada gaya model tak, ni sumer kandid tau. Aku jadik mamarazzi follow dia, klik kiri klik kanan, gebeduk terpele'ot pastu melalak hahaha torus ibu dia sorok.

Nilah ropa sebenar kasut baru ku, agak super sedikit heelsnya tapi tu sbb platform dia pun dh nak 1inch.

One thing...sapa kata nak cari kasut beige senang ? Bapak susah tau...

Sepagi di 1migresen Pusat Bandar

Monday 3 Nov 2008 kami amek cuti nak buat passport baru, akunyer passport dh mati awal thn aritu. Man punyer dah mati 8 tahun lepas hahaha Last trip ? Haadyaiii....kehkehkeh.

Memula cam mls nak buat lagi, rasa mcm x de keperluan tapi bila nampak tiket online murah2an tergedix nak beli. Lagipun klu sedare kat s'pore sakit ke apa2 ke sure kalut. So pasni, klu tetiba rasa nak pi Krabi, Phuket ke Bandung ke takde la terkelendat bila ingat paspot x de, kan ? (Ini adalah hint yang jelas & nyata ditujukan kepada suami ku yang tercinta)

baru sampai sumer muka air liur basi lagi..

So, pepagi buta dah hangkut bebudak, sib baik sumer in good mood walaupun berjaket bagai sbb pg tu sejuuuk. Before 8am dh sampai, naik VIP level, tima kasih pada org tu, selalu tolong kami anak beranak. Lps pass borang2 sumer kami pi bekpes kat mamak bawah tuh...dh namanya mamak kan, apa kes lak nak diet...maka teh tarik dan roti telur satoooooo....

Perut kenyang, naik atas tunggu passport siap, about 1hr nk siap sbb printer rosak, else 30min dh boleh settle. Sangat comel tau masa nak ambik thumbprint bebudak tuh. Bila dh cop kat passport tuh hikhik comel gila ...keciiiiiit jek. Kids over 7 years dia dh start ambik thumbprint kat system. Adan x puas hati sbb Along je dpt guna the print reader. Haii budak2 nih...sumer bende di dunia wajib kena jeles yek....

Sempat mengebat snacks & drinks

Pada hari Isnin yg best itu, terbanglah another RM1050 (RM300 for adult RM150 for kids). Takpe, anggapkan investment for 5 years. Bila la depa nak reduce nih...

Perhatian kepada geng2 Kurik Kendi Bandung 2009, lepas hoya2 nanti sila la buat review yg best kat blog masing2 so that aku bleh terjah Bandung dan kirai duit mcm korang hahahaha

Yay !! Adan dah Grad

From Pre-school...poyo jek ibu dia mcm hape2 jek. This time around rileks sikit sbb cikgu2 dia mcm dah more organized & cool compared to masa Along dulu.

Sunday 2 Nov 2008, kami melepak2 kat Dewan Masjid W1layah sempena Hari 1htifal aka graduation day Adan. Seronok tgk bebudak buat persembahan..Tadika ni ada 6 cawangan sumer, so masa graduation day nih dia combine. Mcm masa suka la jugak...event started around 1.30pm

Adan n the gang buat dikir barat. Hahaha meriah and suka tgk Adan konfiden jek masa buat segala gaya dikir barat. Takde keras sgt anak teruna aku ni...tingat jaman2 aku buat dikir barat ngan geng2 masa open day matrik. Yang aku ingat geng2 Ganu jek, mek da, mek ju, mek nor sbb diorg tarik aku masuk last menet and aku pinjam baju melayu koning senior mat jack,..eh ye ke..ke Mail klasmate aku punyer... ahhh lupaaak (meniru dialog peberet bibik aku)

Dah puas layan segala show, masuk acara bagi awardlah pulak. Ada la 12 kategori award ni..best student, hafazan, bacaan bla bla and last skali kategori Akhlak Mulia, aikk...mcm ku kenal budak yg berakhlak mulia itu, anak siapa yach ?? kekeke Mula2 baca surat dr sekolah kami dah gelak2 dah...ye la kat umah dialah superman, ultraman, monster, cucuk sana, usik sini. Tu time2 aku naik angin aku tanya dia 'Abang akhlak mulia kat sekolah je ke ?'

Pas dah abes excellent award tuh, beratur la masing2 nak ambik sijil sumer. Seronok masa lepak ngan bebudak ni. Ada yang siap tanya 'Acik, ok tak gambar saya ??' hehe statement perasan hensem

Yang memeriahkan majlis. Ibu, Babah, Along & Adik (ye ke ??). Paksu n Maksu pun dtg walaupun dah sekerat jln.

Adik Adan ni pun layak dapat anugerah akhlak mulia kot, takde pasal la nak duduk elok2 kat kerusi kan, selamba badak jek dia meniarap kat dpn stage, main tolis2 conteng2. Tali atas tu ala2 no entry and satu level ngan VIP nyer seats. Haaa...gila depan

Dah selesai, kami carik NKVE nak gi makan free plak kat B@ndar Puteri Klang. Nak jadik citer ter'miss' exit...apalagaa..layan la tour de klang jap. Sampai umah Ezzah dh dekat nak mahgrib. Layan nasik minyak seround (Hanis mkn beround2)...pastu blah. TQ Ezz..

Sib baik next day, Monday cuti...tapi still kena bangun awal, agenda buat passport kat Pusat Bdr.
