I'll update this entry when hubby is home...



Ok! Here it is....





I AM NOT COMPLAINING.
THANK YOU DEAR!!! HUGS N KISSES!!!

Of Rambutan and Mosquitoe

We went back to Sepang for this...

After that we decided to practice our skill which had been put on hold for quite some time...

And we succeeded succesfully

The next day we took Ayah and Mak to Pulau Ketam.

This is the first time they set their foot on the island again after 54 years. Shortly after they were married, Ayah was transfered to Pulau Ketam and they stayed there for almost a year.... You can see the excitement in their eyes..... to be able to revisit old memories... priceless...

Being an excelent storyteller, Ayah told us his experience as a policeman in the small island where everybody knows everybody....

While Ayah and Mak relaxed in the community hall, we had our own adventure.

It was a nice outing. All of us had fun. Time to go back to rambutan.....

Spider Mania

Dear Mr Spiderman


Be warned that you now have one more nemesis to add to your list. Please be careful with him as he is still a rookie in this business. His greatest weakness is he can't see... Just be gentle ok!




Presenting SpiderTEEF!!!



Oppss!!! Watch out...there's a wall in front of you!!!!

p/s - please don't ask me if it's a new one or used!!!! It's his.... I know that for sure....

Le Tour De Spain

How about it. Spanish people are on a happy track. They won Euro 08 and then Nadal hammered RF in Wimbledon. I'm not Spanish. I'm a Malaysian.

Sports wise, I'm happy. Nicol is squash World No 1, our badminton players are training hard, our national men's recurve archers is ranked fourth in the world, Qabil Ambak is riding with a smile ahead his world cup hope and our bowling team did well in Hong Kong.




Political wise, not happy.

Greetings!

This is my daughter's card to her friend...





I've never received a card which reminds me of my death... cute...or perhaps a bit scary???

p/s - she will have to forget about working with Hallmarks...

Why men don't listen and Women cant read maps

I read this book a week ago and found most of it miserably (for me) true....



It implies around the main task of men and women millions of years ago which indirectly makes us what we are now. Man - hunt. Woman - nurture.

The first chapter is just as hilarious and true as the last chapter. It gets a little bit boring in the middle but come the last chapter which discusses about Sex, the favorite topic, you'll be eager to read more...

The first page highlights some things that are obvious which are :-

When a man goes to a rest-room, he usually goes for one reason and one reason only. Women use rest-rooms as social lounges and therapy rooms. Women who go to a rest-rooms as strangers can come out best friends and lifelong buddies. Everyone would be instantly suspicious of the man, however, who calls out, "Hey Frank, I'm going to the toilet - wanna come with me?"

Men dominate TV remote controls and flick through the channels; women don't mind watching the commercials.

Under pressure, men drink alcohol/smoke and invade other countries; women eat chocolate and go shopping.

Women criticize men for being insensitive, uncaring , not listening, not being warm and compassionate, not talking, not giving enough love, not being committed to relationships, wanting to have sex rather than making love, and leaving the toilet seat up.




Men criticize women about their driving (ops!!!) , for not being able to read street directories, for turning maps upside down, for their lack of a sense of direction, for talking too much without getting to the point, for not initiating sex often enough and for leaving the toilet seat down.

Men are amazed how a woman can't see a red flashing oil light on the car dashboard but can spot a dirty sock in a dark corner 50 meters away. Women are bewildered by men who can consistently parallel park a car in a tight spot using a rear-vision mirror, but can never find the G-spot.

If woman is out driving and gets lost, she'll stop and ask for directions. To a man, this is a sign of weakness. He'll drive round in circles for hours, muttering things like, "I've found a new way to get there" or "I'm in the general area" and "Hey, I recognize that petrol station!"

And so on....

I loved it!

The Accident

Yesterday was challenging. After preparing the meal, I went to pick my son up from his Kindergarten and came back. After 1.5 hrs, I went out to pick my daughter up from school and came back to the house again. Soon after they had their lunch and a bit of rest for more than an hour, we had to go out again to pick my eldest son up from school for he had to stay back for his co-curriculum activity.

Then it happened. A JKR lorry was parked by the road side which blocked my view when I wanted to cross over from the school area. I saw a motorcycle coming and after it passed I slowly drove and BAMMM!!! Another motorcycle hit my "lorry". I didn't see it coming.... Luckily the motorcycle was not that fast... I was so shaken but luckily all of us were buckled up....

I quickly got off the car and apologized to the rider and offered to pay for the damages that he had to suffer... To cut it short, we went to the nearby mechanic and fortunately it only costs me RM28. The real damage would be our lorry which had quite a bent at its front bumper.... I'm not sure how much it will cost!



All this happened when hubby is not around. He's in KL... will be back tomorrow....

I needed to divert my attention from the incident and so I :-

Managed to finish another novel.


Watched Soleha on Ch 119 Astro

Witnessed how Ivanovic was tested to her limits and the exit of Pak Djoko from Wimbledon.


Lastly, cursing by myself as Turkey went down to Germany at the last minute.


What goes around comes around... The statistics of Turkey were amazing but in the end, the team that managed to put the ball into the net wins no matter how pretty the stats are....
No doubt the team of the tournament will be Turkey.
I'm counting on Spain to meet the Germans this time....

p/s - the car in the photo is NOT mine...hehehe..

Dear Fuel

La la la la la .......

What would you say?

What would you do if every time you dine out something like this happens....




What would you say if your child ask you what that cute-round-little-thing in the bottle is?



When I told him it's a kind of medicine for adult only......

He started whining about his head-ache just like his Ayah had few days ago.....

God help me.....

p/s - I think I'm gonna hate Germany for a long long time...........

Kijal Photos

These are some photos of our holiday (the kids n me) in Terengganu...

The view from our room

The kids were doing these.....



Hubby's activities (apart from his "official" work).....





My reward after a hard day of playing with the kids....



p/s - I somehow didn't even manage to snap a photo of them in the pool. Maybe because I'm busy swimming as well....

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...

Dragon fruit
Restaurant on a hill
Home stay with the villagers

Between chicken, fuel and kandaq...

I'm still in a confused state. After recovering, I'm slapped with the price hike .... everywhere....
The other day, I bought a whole chicken for RM12 !!!!





Fuel cost escalated... Hubby complained that his bike now needs approx RM19 for a full tank! LOL!!!!
We wanted to convert our "lorry" to NGV but there's only one station in Prai.... how come????? How then???




I didn't watch last night's game but heard hubby laughed and cheered. I don't know why I'm now so sleepy... I'm gonna try to stay awake tonight....

Hubby promised to take me for a round of Nasi Kandaq tonight while the kids are at their Qiraati class. They'll have to settle for pasta for today though....

I've been sick. Pretty sick that I paid no intention to my blogging and mails for a full week.

Alhamdulillah...I've recovered. I'm back....

p/s - Nadal won again....
Euro 08, here I come....

The Champion

I woke up only to watch the extra time. The best 30 mins ever!!!

I was there when Ronaldo missed.
I was there when JT slipped.
I was there when they hailed the tropy.....

in the hotel room.....under the blanket...beside my Atief.....

What a fight... what a game....

Lalalalala....

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?
