After 21 days in 2013

Hi all...

What a waste of 21 days in the very beginning of the year!! Twenty-one days have gone without a single NEW post!!!?? Haiiishhh...lazy, lazy me...

Don't know where to start...no idea.

Really need to squeeze out ideas....huhu

Really really need some inspirations...

God help me...brainstorm...brainstorm...ish ish ish...

...........

..........

???????

Goshhh...spiderwebs everywhere....

Yikessss....It's been ages, centuries ago since I last pen down something in my blog. How very undisciplined of me... Org lain pun bz gak but still managed to steal a few minutes to blog, but me....huh....so teruk of me. So sorry guys (macam la ader sangat kotttt yg baca blog aku nih...huhu)

So, when was d last time I wrote...what? 3-4 months ago...Klu lah ader cikgu yg tukang peksa blog cam peksa buku kat schools...alamat dah lama aku kena gantung kat kipas!!! Hehehe

Ok...Let's see....too many things (tonnes of it) that I've been doing in the past few months...Travel to Perak - kids' school - hari anugerah cemerlang - sport's day - workshop - shopping - shopping - window shopping - shopping again - muka buku - tweet jer - etc etc
Too many things that I'm lost for words!! Demmmm....huhu

Well, nuff' said, what's gone let it be bygone. Now it's time to look in the near future. Well that makes me jump directly to my next agenda with beloved family members - A short getaways to Cameron Highlands!!! First time uoalsss I nak g Cameron Highland!!! Ha ha ha...umur dah lanjut, benua lain dah jelajah, ni ha baru nk g tempat sendiri....!! Pity me...maafkan saya atas kekurangan diri ini...huhu

The kids are estatic and bewildered to go...they are all getting jitty butterflies in their stomachs counting the days (so am I...so am I)...guess that I'll update uoalsss once I got back from Cameron Highlands!!!

Strawberrrriiiiieeeesssssss 'ere I come.....weee huuuuu   ;)

I'm being lazy coz it's too hot!!

Hmmm....

Simply an understatement and an excuse you see...that I'm being lazy in updating my blog coz it's too hot!!! WTH...or am just being plain stupid with no idea to babble about....  ;(

Anyhow... the school holidays were terrific (or in my case terrifying...huhu) cos the house is full of children for a solid 2 weeks...14 days...336 hours...20160 minutes...1209600 seconds... Ha ha ha... as though 3 kids are a hand full!! Selfish me...he he he....

Yelorrr...the kids conquered almost everything!!!

- the main tv with a satellite subscription to you-know-what-company
- they conquered the lappy and desktops too
- not to mention mendling with ipad!!!

So, what's left for me??? Lots and lots and lots of house chores and laundry to be done...phuhh

Oh, did I ever mentioned that a close friend of mine is going on Umra' with his beloved hubby and her in-laws for a fortnite? Hmmm...I even managed to make her promised me to send me a copy of her journal during her Umra' so that I can write on it for my blog...how selfish of me...hehehe...sorry friend, you just have to bear with me on this  ;)

So, being a good friend she is and in keeping her "forced promise" that I made her to sworn, initially she emailed me yesterday 18 emails about her journey to meet her Maker...Gosh, you gotta be kidding me...18 EMAILS, really??? And now I have 18 emails to look into and write something on it...hmm...me and my big mouth!!
 Say, I wont be that fast in drafting and editing and publishing it in my blog, and I have to email her the draft first as she would need to approved it ...hmm...so, bear with me in my new post, ok?

Bye for now and thanks for reading...cheers  :)

Pen off @ 4.18am

It's just me in my normal days

Not so good a fortune...mendapat kecederaan parah di ibu jari kaki!!! Like hell, sakit x hengat dihempap pintu almari sliding...!!!

So, my world just went black the last few days, x leh nak g memana, susah nak jalan dgn ibu jari kaki yg berdenyut2...  :'(

Eventually, the pain subdue and at last, last Saturday I managed to go to Bentong with some help from my brother, pak supir x bergaji yg kuat melawan...huhuhu

Now only I realised how I missed the village and its environment. The smell of village air is just....heaven!!! Lama betul rasernya x pergi Bentong, it should be a couples of loooonnnggggg years ago...sampai dah lupa how was it previously. Even the kids were ecstatic in going to Bentong. Bukan lama pun, sehari dua aje, but a very meaningful trip to all of us.

We went to a local night market or pasar malam as we used to call it, in Mempaga 3, about a kilometre away from Perumahan Tras, were my uncle's house is situated. It's been ages since I last went to a pasar malam!!! I didn't even get to enjoy the one in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman every Saturdays!!! Bummer...

I really missed the crowd in the pasar malam and the smell of local dishes being sold there (sorry I didn't get to take pictures of the pasar malam at Mempaga 3, didn't bring my camera) but I managed to snapped these pictures instead from my handphone....recognise what is it?

Oh really, I missed those years on running naked in the village and in the paddy fields...!!! Even my lil' princess has never seen a real sea!!! Gosh...poor baby...that is why I thinking of a family trip to one of those beautiful islands that we have surrounding the Peninsular of Malaysia sometime in October...

Am all jolly and excited of the island trip and I guess that the kids will definitely love it too...none of us has ever been to any of our own beautiful island, and I am gonna mend it!!!

Pulau Tioman, wait for our arrival and we are gonna have fun there too... ^_^

Trip to Bali Part 2

As promised, this entry is about Bali again and I hope this will be the last entry on it, not the last trip to Bali ... hehehe...ala2 verangan nak g lagi la ni...Tapi Bali mmg sempoi...

Let's see...

On my 2nd day in Bali, I went for sightseeing. Yea lorr... kalau x g melawat tempat-tempat tumpuan pelancong, gimana nak tau budaya mereka...yea x?

Earlier on before departing to Bali, I've arrange with a local guide for a half day tour in several tourists attraction in some part of Bali.

A few hours in front of my lappy (sampai keluaq ayaq mata mengadap screen) and blog walking from 1 blog to another... (sib baik x berpeluh - peluh sbb its eventually didn't need any physical movement except for my fingers to dance on the keyboard and my eyes to read >_< I end up contacting this fella, Ketut Diana.

Don't be fooled, the name read as "Diana" but it's a man. I managed to ask him about it later when I met him in Bali, it seems that the name Diana is a comman name for male!! Hmm...sib baik nama aku bukan Diana.

His rate is reasonable and can be consider as cheap. USD20 for a half day trip, lebih kurang RM60.00 waktu tu utk half day trip. Ok what...? This Ketut Diana may be reached at this web address http://www.baliroundtrip.com/index.php and his profile and tour company can also be view at http://www.baliroundtrip.com/about_bali_guide.php Manalah tau kot2 esok-esok korang pulak nak gi Bali kan...so, kumpullah duit dari sekarang...ngeh ngeh ngeh...

So, enjoy the pictures on souveniours that I managed to take and sensored (some of the souveniours are a bit "nasty looking" walaupun ada yg satu dua terlepas gak kat sini)

These photos were taken from several souveniours shops.

Later, I went to Jimbaran, a fishing village and tourist attraction located to the south of Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali.

The purpose of going to Jimbaran was to have seafood dinner while looking at the sunset...perghhhh, macamlah kat sini xde sunset at the beach...hmmm. The food was delicious but expensive, yup really really expensive...jutaan rupiah yea. The dish that I chose was priced at Rph. 3,800,00.00 (about RM1,271.00!!) Tak percaya? Percayalah....mahal sebab ader lobster kot...

Oh, the nite before (the 1st day of arrival) I had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe since I was occupying the hotel. The food was so-so, nothing that special just like other HR Cafe I guess except that this cafe is in Bali so for Muslim patrons, do ask before you order...

Well, I guess that's it for now...hope that you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing it...

^_^

Trip to Bali Part 1

Hi, all. As promised I'm trying my best to write about my recent trip to Bali in the simplest vocab that I know of.

I've been dying to go to Bali all my life. Bukan apa, dengar orang pergi Bali cam best la romantik la...so, aku pun terhegeh2 la nak g jugak...hehehe. And finally I went to Bali earlier this year...yeay...

I was greeted by this particular statue in The Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali. It symbolises the Hinduism religion that Balinese practises.

Hari ketibaan di Bali, hujan turun dengan selebat-lebatnya sepanjang tengah hari hingga ke lewat petang. So, nothing much to do on my first day, just loitering around the hotel in dismay  :'(

Mostly, I ended up taking pictures of the hotel which I stayed in (not a picture of myself)... Feel free to browse them because a picture speaks a thousand words

Gosh, it's pretty hard to align those pictures!!! Ceh, ke aku yg x greti...LOL

Oh, right. On arrival I had my lunch at Rumah Makan Malioboro. It's halal. I think in Malaysia pun ada a few. Mainly, the dishes are from chicken. It tasted good, but one thing that I don't like about it was the bones were crushed, well, I don't eat crushed bones nor do I eat the uncrushed either. Maybe, being in Indonesia where food are limited and expensive to their citizen, they eat it all...who knows...

So, roughly that's what I did in the first day. Only during the 2nd day I managed to go on a half day tour. 

1. Besakih Temple (Mother Temple) 

On a clear day, one can view the Java sea in the Indian Ocean!!

2. Gua Gajah

By the end on the day, I also managed to view the infamous Jimbaran for their sunset! It is indeed spectacular!!

Well, I guess this is it for this entry. Thanks for reading ^_^

A recent trip to Bali

Hi all, my next entry as you might guess is about a recent trip to Bali, Indonesia. 


Hmmm....what should I write about Bali?? Nothing much I guess since Bali is already a well-known holiday getaway a.k.a. holidays to singles, couples even for family.


Well, before I start about all the things that I managed to do in Bali, why don;t we start on how to plan a trip...
First thing first...simple rules that you should know, well at least I think that I should know are...


1. Choose your location - well, normally this is the best part. As for myself, I always dreamt of going somewhere and ended up the other!! ^_^

2. Make a budget - this is the tricky part. I always browse the web to hunt, really hunt for cheap price no mater whether it's for the flight or ground itinerary which normally I didn't manage to get...ha ha...I'm not sure whether I'm doing it the right way or its just that I'm plain stupid ... hehehe




3. Travel light - This one is catchy! Yup, they really do. But I learned from experiences and trial and error THAT ONE MUST TRAVEL LIGHT or you'll end up dragging your luggage. I used to count the days of my travel and end up more that what I really need. So next time peeps, bring a pair of jeans / trousers and a couple  of tshirt (cotton) that's it if you are going to somewhere hot because you'll end up buying all those goodies that you think that you need but you are not!!






4. If you are travelling alone, let your family or friends know of your trip - well, this is for safety reason


5. If travelling internationally, make sure your documents are in order - Keep your passport, travel documents, visas and similar items in a safe pouch. Also, keep paper copies of the same in a safe place. It'll be much easier to replace anything that you lost (well, I hope).


6. Camera with  charger and spare batteries in hand, just in case.


Well, that's it. I think you are good to go...
Hey, I think my entry is a bit longer that what I planned for. I intended to write about my trip to Bali instead ended up with an entry on how to plan a trip...LOL...that's careless of me  *_*
