Mahabbah Lillah Camp

Last two weeks after coming back from Kuantan the kids had the opportunity to join a camp organized by JIM Penang. It was an eye opener for them joining kids from different backgrounds of education mainly those from Islamic school. The did enjoyed themselves and I on the other hand tried my best to help around with the activities but had to keep it at the minimum since I had a fever, flu and cough...

Origami session

Traditional eating session. Lunch in a big tray.

After the camp, we headed to our next destination, Melaka. As usual, the kids were busy with the pool activities. Monstermom joined them and too bad I forgot to apply the sunscreen lotion. What a nice tan I had....
Immidiately after Melaka, we rushed back to Kedah, to celebrate Eidul Adha. Last night, we are back in Penang.
Now I have to confine myself in the house hoping that tan will subside in a few weeks...
Piles of dirty laundry to catch up and not forgetting the dust all over the house.
Have a nice week!

Kopitiam@SNC

Last Friday, my parents brought me and the kids to a kopitiam situated in a place which used to be my school, St Nicholas Convent, Alor Setar. As soon as we entered the school gate, I was transformed into my own world. I saw girls running around and giggling to each other when all of a sudden, Miss Mak, our headmistress appeared out of nowhere. When the school bell rang, we would then head to our classrooms and enjoy being an SNC girl....

I was awaken from my dream when my son started pulling my blouse. Grrrr...

That place was a hit! It was packed and you can order from nasi goreng to chicken chop. I was still skeptic of the place but after tasting my dad's meal, I didn't even talk but concentrated on tasting what had been ordered for others. My favourite was KCK. Apparently, when they started the place a gentleman ordered a dish which was not on their menu and he taught them how to prepare it. He was chief of the special branch (Ketua Cawangan Khas).

This is not KCK but my dad's special order. A combination of three dishes.

It was a mixed feeling of surprised, excited, sad and happy. I wish all of my schoolmates could gather here again, having breakfast in honor of our beloved SNC.

Dragon Fruit Orchard in Jitra, Kedah

Last week we visited my father's friend in Jitra, Kedah. He has this awesome orchard which consists of dragon fruit, durian, manggis etc but our eyes were on the dragon fruit. It tasted nice and different. Moreover it is organic, safe and healthy....

If you are ever in Kedah, come and visit this place and experience the 3 in 1...

Awana Kijal

I'm now blogging from AwanaKijal. The kids and I are following hubby on his working trip and now here we are! I'm taking a break again.. but only from cooking and house-cleaning... I still have to take care of the kids...mind you!

Our activity in the morning was swimming around the pool area until the kids were tired and cold and hungry. Hahaha!!!

After lunch, Atief got his quick nap and now I'm surfing and blogging while waiting for the kids to finish up their PS2 game. Next we are going to the beach..

Need to get some fresh air... they are quarelling again!!!!

Can't wait for tonite's match. Hope Chelshit will go down .....hard....

Photos will be downloaded after we go back to Penang....

Bye!

Sedim Retreat

A retreat to Sedim Eco Theme Park in Kulim will make you appreciate our mother nature. And so for 3 days 2 nights, we had no-tv fun filled activities. A trip to remember...

The chalets are a bit pricey though...

We enjoyed having fun in the water for 3 full days.

This is the longest tree top walk in the world. It crosses Sedim River and the view was breathtaking.

We found this while we were having lunch at a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.....

Need I say more?
