Kampung Time!

After getting the results from PMC, I've rushed back to PJ to quickly packed my things. Oh ya, by the way, from the ESP, I acknowledged that I have high cholesterol as well as high platelets (blood). So, now I'm avoiding any kind of fried food. In six months time I have to retake my blood test and if the reading for both is still high, then most probably doctor will prescribe me with specific medicine. Hopefully, I will improve my health by that time and don't have to take any medicine. Ameen.

Anyhow, around 7pm I made a move to KJ. After a quick dinner with AE and family, and after the announcement Lee as the next AI, around 10pm, we hit the highway for our long journey. Four of us (me, NY, AE, MA - feens ;p). NY drove first, then AE took over. When all of us can't open our eyes any longer, we took one hour nap around 1am at the nearest R&R (can't remember the name). AE continued driving until Gurun, and my turned to drive. I drove straight to my hometown with quite a speed. Hehe. It was 4am when I arrived. Before I said goodnight, Ayah invited me to join Royalty Hot Air Balloon the next morning. So, I have to wake up as early as 6.15am. Overall, I slept for only 2 hours. -Yawnnn-

At 7.15am Friday, me and Ayah went to the Hot Air Balloon as planned. Most of the balloon I've seen in PJ before. But with Sultan, Sultanah and their daughter, the event was merrier with a lot of booths. We have fun and after 'santapan' with the royalties, we hit a pasar and drove home. I slept from 10am to 1.30pm. Yeay me! The rest of the day, I went shopping with Emi and Ayah and watched "My Name Is Khan". A good movie I would say.

Saturday morning, "Me & Dad Time" again. But this time nenek tag along. We went to a lake near our house. Nenek fed the fish while me and dad jogged around the lake. More like walking actually. Haha. Around noon, I've cook Tom Yum and omelette for lunch. Yummie. Quite some time jugak tak masak, luckily skill tak hilang. Haha. Ye ye jer. That evening, me, Ayah and Emi were planning to play bowling but instead since the lanes were all booked, we hit cinema instead watching Shrek. That was my second time watching a movie with Ayah.

Next morning, Sunday, at 9am, AE fetched me for breakfast after saying goodbye to Ayah, Ummi, Nenek and Emi. We have our breakfast at Zam Zam near AE's hometown. NY, MA, MT and A were already there. Then, after picking up the luggage at their granparents house, off to PJ. This time AE started driving first, then NY and from Tapah onward was my turned. We reached KJ around 4pm and I was back at PJ around 5pm.

A nice road trip which I enjoyed much :D.

Results

Last Saturday I went to PMC to do ESP for the first time. So today, Thursday, I have appointment with doctor to collect the results. Scary but InsyaAllah okay. Pray for the best. Ameen.

Jalan TAR

Rarely been there and last weekend was one of the time. Seriously it took me about 20mins to find my friend (I supposed to meet her somewhere near Masjid Jamek LRT). Susah okay nak cari dgn crowded n kepanasan. Sorry Fats. Hehehe. Serious susah cari. Patut letak sign board or something. Hahaha.

But being there is really worth it. Especially if you're with friends. Thanks to Feens, Fats and Sems for being my fashion consultants ;) I ended up buying two sets of matching cotton and five scarves. Ish ish.

Right after that we when to UO to celebrate Sem's birthday in advance. "Happy Birthday Dear Sems". Welcome to the club :) May all your dreams come true.

I had a great Sunday. Thanks again guys.




.............................


The next morning, Monday (before I joined my friends at Jalan TAR, me, Along and all went to Ampang to visit Kak Nim's friend), Along told me that Kak Nim's friend, Kak Eryn passed away at 3am. She's been diagnosed of Leukaemia for the past nine months. Once detected, she already at stage three. Al-Fatihah.

Nihon Go

Sabah e ikimashita, nihon jin wa atta. Shashiburi nihon go de hanasuru. Nihon jin namae wa Nakano Masaaki desu. Shashin o torimashita. Segoi ne Manukan Island wa.
Nihon go o benkyoushitai. Ima wa jouzu dewa arimasen. Iro iro kotoba wa wakarimasen. Nihon e ikitai...

Iro Iro Mono

Last weekend, we all went to Tampin to accompany Ibu n Abah balik kampung. Ibu has assist in looking after Isyia since she were born (staying at Along's). So, Ibu was quite sad when we're going back to PJ the next day. Isyia too. On Monday, when everybody went to work, Isyia seems searching for Wan and cried. Sian Isyia. Now on day five without Ibu in Along's house, Isyia slowly adapt to the current situation. And if lucky enough, her Ibu (Along) would come home earlier than usual. Sukanya Isyia masa tu :D

Quite sleepy today as last night I went to Saba' (CJ) with AE, N and MT for our dinner. That was my second time eating there. Not bad actually. Arabian cuisine. I have Kabsyah Chicken and Lemon drinks. Yummy! Feels sorry for AE and MT though, as they have an early morning flight to catch. AE to Bandung while MT to Alor Setar. Hopefully everything went smooth for them. Ameen.

Our next trip would be....Kedah! InsyaAllah :)

Sabah: Akhirnya Ketemu Jua

On Thursday, 6th May 2010, I have applied half day leave and supposed to leave office around 1pm. But I guess it's too good to be true as I headed home at 4.45pm, finally. So that night, after a quick packing, I went staright to Daf's house as all seven of us will depart to LCCT from there very early in the morning.



The next day, Friday, as early as 5am, we hit the aiport and ready to go. It has been quite some time for me travelling with friends (I think the last one, nearly four years ago). So, I'm a bit excited eventhogh without absolute consent from my SM. Haha. Luckily my M is so sporting and willing to take over my task when I'm away. Thanks M.



On the flight, I have spaghetti for my breakfast (kids meal serve with ribena ;p). Around 9am we're in KK already. Ready to travel by car (we drive on our own). But among the four of us (another three hit Mount Kinabalu - the climber I would say. Well done guys!), I'm the only one being a passenger all the time during the four-day-trip. The rest taking turn in driving the car. Oh ya. We changed to another car in one hour time since the former car suddenly keep turning off its engine when we slow down the car or changing to reverse gear. Quite scary.



The first stop after we've checking in at Eden 54 hotel (KK) and having our lunch at Inanam, we went to Mari-Mari Cultural Village (Inanam). The entrance fee was quite high per person. But since the tour took about 3 and 1/2 hours (high tea is included) with various activities (we even taking parts in dancing -the bamboo dance, sumpit, inai decoration, cooking using bamboo etc, we have a really nice time there :D. We have our dinner later at Sri Selera Kampung Air (seafood) near our hotel. Delicious & reasonable price. What a great combination.



On Saturday, the second day, we went to Jesselton Jetty for our next adventure. I've done few first-time-activities-in-my-life that day. After settling the payment and all, at 8.30++am, off to Manukan Island. On the way there, our boat driver asked whether we want to do our parasailing in the middle of the sea or when we get near to the island. He suggested that we do the activity now as the wind is good at the moment. So, we did! And even though that was my first time plus consider that I'm quite "gayat", it was definately one of the best moment in my life! The scenery was breathtaking. We have about 20mins for one session (two person at a time). Once we reached the island, we changed and couldn't wait touch our feet in the sea. For the warming up, we went banana boating (once again in the middle of the sea). Luckily, we didn't fall (dah mention earlier kat the driver cakap tanak jatuh.haha). After that, we put on our gear and ready to snorkelling. Subhanallah. Sangatlah cantiknya keindahan alam yang Allah ciptakan. Shahnaz and Zue went farther and saw some nemos and one particular nemo called Tamako (named by the lifeguard who assist both of them to get there) was really tame. They hold Tamako in their hands and it didn't struggle at all. Best!

On our third day (Sunday), we drove for two hours to Kundasang. The road was quite curvy like going to Cameron. Alhamdulillah, the journey was smooth including our hiking activity at Kinabalu Park. Have our lunch in Ranau and back to our resort at Kundasang. Accomodation there was a bit expensive. I think it accommodates with the view there. Our room just opposite the Mount Kinabalu. Beautiful...That night we went for karaoke. Three of us more like observer than backup singer. Hehe.

On our last day (Monday), we went to Poring Hot Spring then drove back to KK. Pick up our laundry at Eden 54 (sempat lagi tu buat laundry ;p), and off to the airport. Meet the other three there. At 8pm, we reached LCCT and took two cabs home.

All in all, one memorable holiday I would say :D.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

First Sunday of May, AE and me planned to play tennis together at PJ, somewhere around Along's house. Unfortunately, since I haven't book any of the court, we ended up playing bowling instead after having breakfast at Along's.

While we're bowling, Along called and asking me whether we would like to join them (BIL, Isyia) to butterfly park. AE said ok. On our way there, Along called again said they already finished touring the park. So, after dropping something at AE's house, we rejoin Along and the geng at PJ. We have our lunch together again at Along's including ibu and abah.

After lunch me and AE stay at the dining table to watch To Kill A Mocking Bird. Credit goes to AE to found the movie :D.

A great movie I would say. Of course the duration of the movie limit of putting all the scenes in the book into the movie. But still I enjoyed the warm relationship between Atticus and Scout.

Next Activity: Kedah?
