Spring Holiday part2

Salam.....

I have so many things to write and share here but I just have no time...

Don't tell me housewives have lots of time, don't tell me housewives have nothing to do at home!

There are lots and lots of things to do, that I wish I just have more time in one day!!

errrrrr.... hubby always says that we don't actually 'Have no time'.....

It's how we managed the times we have... Agree????

mmmmm.... btol la tu.... hehe

I have to work smart, think smart and waste no time....

So, a little update about my previous entry ~~Spring Holiday.

After we left Izu's house, we went to central London, the Malaysian Embassy specifically... hubby went there to renew his passport. Afterwards, we had our lunch at Hyde Park London, Nasik lemak yang Malaysian habis hehe and mee goreng...

At Hyde Park, London (",)

After that, we went to Malaysian Hall, solat Zuhur and Asar sambil Afeef pekena nasik sepinggan lagi haha!

Then, we went to Tower Bridge...

Glad that we finally made it here, the last time we were in London, we'd made a mistake and ended up in London bridge instead of Tower Bridge.. hehe...

And of course the view at night was even more mesmerizing I supposed (",)

Thank God the kids were all so strong and supportive and energetics... we didn't even have a stroller with us.. We just have each other to keep us stronger and a spirit so huge to meet my mom, my sister, my niece and my new niece!!!!!!

Seriously, I felt like flying straight to my sister's house!!!

Our train to Loughborough UK was due at 10 pm that night, so the plan was to wait at the train station until 10pm and get the kids something ( I bought them magazines and something for them to play with) to keep them awake. Can't afford to let them sleep before we get on the train because we didn't have a stroller with us!!

And 10pm in UK was 11pm in Germany!! Far past their bedtime!! 

But Alhamdulillah, everything went as planned (",)

It was a long day, but they were all so strong... Thank you so much, Afeef, Fatini, Aleena, for making it easy for mama and papa.. (",)

So, the moment we got on the train and settled in our seats, they were all in ~~Lalala Land~~

 hehehe...

Tengok Fatini tu sampai mengalir air liur basi hahahah!

I on the other hand couldn't sleep at all, was so excited to meet mom and adik and new baby, so I spent the time chatting with hubby and reading (",)
Adohai, while writing all these, all the feelings came back to me, mmmmmm...
There this warm feelings inside and excitement I couldn't describe... I long for that feeling again (",)

At about 12am UK time, we reached Louborough UK, where my sister's hubby waited for us. I woke Afeef up, and Hubby had to carry Fatini and I had to carry Aleena, tapi x pe, it was just a short walk before we got on the car.
It was just a few minutes drive.
And then there we were, at my sister's home, they were all still awake and waiting for us even though it's very late!!
Oh..... I miss those moments....


So, lets just make it short, among the few interesting events while we were in UK:

A trip to Manchester, UK.....

First stop, a friend's house in Manchester...

Then, Manchester United Football Club....

Where my mom initially wasn't so interested to go, but......

End up buying most hehehe...

Eh??...

My mom khusyuk memilih hehehe..

Dan jugak makan2 di Manchester, 'Mandi Rice'...

The next day, we went to Stonehenge...

Errrrrrr.....

Rezeki cik Aleena, jumpa Teletubbies kat Carboot dengan harga 50sen hehehe...

I've been searching for Teletubbies for Aleena coz she loves it so much, but never found one in Germany.. kalau ada pun, mesti mahal..

So, memang rezeki dia lah, hepi tak terkata, mama pun hepi jugak hehe..

She carries it it with here anywhere she goes (",)

Then Carboot, my sister and her hubby took us there...

Dan inilah hasil nya...... hahaha!!!

Just imagine ok camne kitorang hangkut bawak balik hehe...

Kuda besar dapat free, kuda kecik 2pound + hadiah buku2... 

Dan ada lagi barang2 dan buku2 from previous Carboot hehehe...

Most books 20pence each, ya Allah Heaven for book lovers!!!

Kalau ikut hati macam2 buku lagi nak beli, tapi tatau camana nak angkut balik German je...

Ade jugak basikal Barbie, cantik!!! Siap dengan carrier kat belakang, dan bag Barbie kat depan, 10pound je!! Tu pun bila kitorang cam x nak beli dia nak offer turun harga lagi!

Rasa cam nak cakap, 

"Oh we definitely think 10pound is cheap enough and we definitely wanna grab it even if you don't reduce the price, but we can't because we don't know how to 'angkut' it" heheheh...

Kalau Flohmarkt sini, basikal cantik camtu mesti at least 30euro!!!

Fatini pun menangis2 nak beli jugak, kalau lah kami memang penduduk UK memang dah beli tau .. tapi apekan daya kan...

Memang nikmat lah dok UK ni.. 

Ape pun, bersyukur dengan ape yang ada... (",)

Alhamdulillah diberi peluang merasa semua ni, dan dapat jugak carik buku English banyak2 for the kids and myself too...

Rezeki Nadrah, kuda2 ni kami tinggal aje (",) 

There's more stories actually, later I'll update insyaAllah...

The kids were having a great time... (",)

Playground only a few steps away from my sister's home. 

***sigh****

I miss those moments.... 

Terribly....

Lastly....

A Piano cover by me, 

This time I dedicate this specially for those who will be getting married soon (",)

~~Impian Kasih, InTeam Sentimental version~~~

Used to love this song so much, and still love it very much...

Lovely (",)

Enjoy!

Till later, Salam....

Night Surprise (",)

Salam....

So very not in the mood to update this blog hehehe...

It's perfectly understandable right??? I mean, I don't get to see my mom and my sister and my nieces very often!

But today, I have to update this blog no matter what, eventhough I'm so sleepy rite now, so let this one be a really really short one (",)

Today, 28th of March 2013 is...........

Aleena's 3rd BIRTHDAY!!!!!

We didn't plan for any celebration coz we wanna wait for my hubby to return, insyaAllah tomorrow hubby's flight is due. But, earlier tonight, my sister's hubby made a huge surprise for all of us.... 

A really really huge surprise!!

None of us expected it and there it was, a chocolate cake in the Kitchen!!!

Ya Allah, I was so surprised and speechless all at the same time.. Sungguh tak sangka!! Dah malam nak tido dah, ade surprise pulak hehe...

Thanx a million to them, tak terluah rasanye for everything, their kindness, hospitality etc etc..

I'm really really blessed with wonderful people around (",)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST ALEENA, Semoga membesar menjadi anak solehah dan beroleh kebahagiaan di dunia dan akhirat.... Amin...

Till later, Salam... (",)

Spring's Holiday ~~Part 1~~ (",)

Salam...

Wow, feel so long since my last update.. I don't know why but every time I sat infront of my computer to update blog, I ended up doing something else hehe...

Ok, just a quick one before all events became rotten (",)

Esters holiday just started last Wednesday and will last in 2 weeks, and coincidently my sister in UK gave birth to her 2nd child early in March. And what's more, my mother decided to visit them, and help taking care of the newborn, and me????

Of coz I was overly excited!!! Meeting my mom and my sister again!!! And a new niece!!!! Wow!!!

Super duper cool!!

So, we booked a flight ticket to London last Tuesday evening, and our first stop was.........

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......!!!!!!

My long time friends, Izuan Murat and Hisham... Izu is among the first person I met during my early days in IIUM. Something still so fresh in my mind, We sat next to each other the whole of orientation week (",)

Today, masing2 dah ada 3 anak! How time flies... (",)

So our 1st stop was Izu and Hisham's house, not only that Izu insisted we should spend the night there, she also insisted that Hisham pick us all up from the airport! Terharu ok, dah la jauh pulak tu.. When we reached their house, they served us with wonderful and delicious meals!!

Macam2 masak, sedap2, superb hospitality....thank you sooooo much Izu and Hisham... Allah bless you guys (",)

I myself feel like I'm truly blessed with wonderful people around me (",) Alhamdulillah...

Overall, We had a great time at Izu & Hisham's, and unfortunately we had to leave early in the morning, it's not a school holidays just yet in London, The Eins (their two beautiful girls) had to go to school and my hubby had to renew his passport.

So we left about 10.30am, and our train to Loughborough UK was due at 10pm that very same day.. It's a long day, yes... But it was great, we went to Malaysian hall again, Hyde park, and Tower bridge. We didn't have the chance to visit Tower bridge the last time we were in London (",)

I'll continue tomorrow, insyaAllah, or day after tomorrow, or tomorrow tomorrow haha!!

You know, being with your loved ones, other activities seemed like a waste of time!!

Oh, this time around, this Spring's holiday, is by far the best holiday for me.. Can't believe I get to meet my mom again and my sister in just a few months after we'd last get together. Ini pun dikira rezeki kan...? I've never had to ask, He gave, if I asked, He never dissappoint..... 

Thank you Allah!

Till later, salam... (",)

SwEeT MeMoRiEs in MaLaySia..

Memories back in Malaysia bout 2 months ago...

I know, I know, cerita dah basi....

Just untuk kenang kenangan...

Rasa riiiiiiinduuuuu sangat...

Fly dengan Royal Jordanian.. service tak berapa best tapi makan best hehe..

Best sebab banyak kali makan and sedap :)

Tapi tetap tak dapat lawan Emirates, Emirates tetap yg paling best..

Tapi bersyukur ngan ape yg ada hehe..

Dapat balik Malaysia was like a dream came true :)

Flight was from Deutschland to Amman, then from Amman to Bangkok, and lastly, from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur...

Disebabkan flight delay, dapatla bermalam di Airport Hotel Amman yg x seberapa nih heheh..

Abaikan aksi terlampau Fatini tu ye.. hehe

Infront of Hotel..

Selain tajaan hotel, makan malam juga di taja ngeh ngeh..

Not bad.. :)

First stop, jumpa my beloved mom, rinduuuu saaaangat...

My mom and Fatini, suka aje Fatini ni kat Tok die, smpai skrg dok tanye pasal tok lagi hehe..

For no one's Birthday in particular, hehe... Fatini yg request cake Princess, and Tok yg dah lama tak jumpa Fatini ni bukan saja sanggup beli, tapi carik cake Princess sampai jumpa :D

Then bermula la aktiviti wajib dari dulu lagi, bila ada je Besday sape2, mmg akan bergilir2 la potong cake and berulang2 jugak nyanyi "Happy birthday to you....." hehe..

Not just Birthday boy or girl.. semua akan dapat merasa potong cake :)

Tunggu giliran iye.. hehe

And also for the first time, had the chance to meet my youngest sister's daughter, Nadrah Safiyyah :)

I wasn't there when my sister gave birth to her, and this was my first time seeing her in front of my eyes.. she's so lovely and notty notty too hehehe..

Next stop was my Hubby's hometown in Perak...

That's my mother in law :)

The kids had no problem at all with both Tok and Opah even after they have not seen each other for almost two years...

These are all nephews and niece sebelah hubby..

They had so much fun together..

:)

Fatini and Khairatul, Khairatul is hubby's elder sister's daughter..

She's so sweet :)

Tengokla Gaya gedik Fatini hehehe..

Also had the chance to meet hubby's second mom, also called 'mak angkat', she's very kind and soft spoken.. I was also shocked to know that her husband had passed away, bout the same time as my father...

In the past, whenever I came over their place, her husband always2 remind me of my father.. they looked so much alike...

And they leave this earth bout the same time too....

Rombongan menghantar kami ke airport KLIA.. so the very sad masa ni, sebab nak meninggalkan Malaysia, tapi nasib baik la ada mereka2 ni yg buat lawak x abis2 hehe..

Both are my brothers. Standing next to me is my sister in law Sharifah Hikmah :)

Sharifah Hikmah is my 1st brother's wife, (abang pa) yg kat tengah2 tu. My other brother is the one at the most right (abang mi) and his wife kat bawah ni ngeeee...

This is my sister in law too, Sharifah Aliah... she is very close to me, we've got married bout the same time, she had been there through thick and thin of my life..

We shared many things together, and secrets too hehe..

Amazingly and coincidently, both of my sister in law and bang mi, all three of them have the same birthday, 27th December, hehe tahun je yg lain.. So they can all celebrate together.. sweet kan :)

What a coincident..

While waiting for our last Flight, from Amman to Deutschland, we were 'lepaking' at this nice cafe whilst internetting hehe.. lama jugak, few hours jugak kat sini..

Mak bapak dah dapat internet, 2,3 jam pun no problem kan..

Tapi..... the Kids.... ??

Huhuhuhu.... Kesian... hehehe...

Already missing my family in Malaysia soooooo much...

:)

Keukenhof, Holland... Happy moments and tragedy..

Oh, feel like ages since I last wrote here... bukan ape, tetibe jadi malas nak update blog, tapi atas permintaan ramai, terpaksa la update jugak.. hehehe.. konon2 la ade permintaan ramai, padahal sebenarnye x de pun hehehe.

Cerita sikit la sblom cerita ni basi, bout last wekend trip ke Keukenhof, Holland. Keukenhof ni memang ler taman bunga yg tersangat la indah nye, rase cam di alam fantasi pun ade. And tersangat la banyak tulip yg pelbagai warna, and since I'm a huge fan of Tulip, excited nye jangan cakap la heheheheh..

So, nak ke Holland dr Kaiserslautern ni agak jauh, so friday kami dah mula kan journey, singgah di Bonn bermalam di rumah Shahmi and Zinnirah.. Shahmi and Zinn ni ex UIA student sebenarnye, lebih kurang sama badge and study enineering jugak, but how funny I never really noticed them though Zinn does look familiar, then both of them jadi lecturer pulak kat UMP hahaha, what a coincidence kan, and still x pernah jumpe zinnirah masa di Kuantan, tapi takdir menentukan segalanye (wah ayat cam dlm novel), kami bertemu di bumi Deutschland :)

Both of them tersangat la baik hati, and terima kasih banyak2 atas segalanya..

So pagi Sabtu bermula la rombongan cik kiah, naik bas ramai2, 4 family termasuk my family. Lepas subuh bout 5 pagi dah kuar rumah.. dalam bas semua bebudak tido je :)

Berehat sebentar sambil minum kopi yg memang spesyel ni heheh.. spesyel sebab ade love tu, rasa nye? pahit ler sbb x sempat buh gula, pastu asyik bersembang lupe nak minum, sedar2 bas dah nak bertolak, so minum je la pahit2 ngeh ngeh..

Budak2 pulak cam biase sesi bermain2..

Lebih kurang 4 hours journey, sampai la kami ke destinasi yg di tuju.. mak aaaii ramai nye la orang!! Macam tin sardin..

Ini antara favorite saya.. sangat geram tengok bunga2 yg menawan nih..

Yang ni jugak my favorite.. Tulip oh tulip..

Bergambar romantis di bawah pohon sakura :)

Ni memang la paling spesyel.. sangat unik, rasa cam berjalan atas air...

Berpiknik selepas penat berjalan..

Ini lah semua ahli rombongan, dari kiri Mael, Zura (isteri Mael, Zura ni sangat pandai layan budak2 tau), Zinnirah (thank you Zinn for everything, appreciate sgt hadiah pokok tulip nih), Yla (yg sungguh lemah lembut, ngeee suke awak) and yg sebelah kanan skali tu suami Zinn, Shahmi. Walaupun pada mulanye rase cam tak berbaloi gi trip ni ngan bayaran yg mahal and pegi satu tempat je, and fikir kalau sewa kereta lebih berbaloi coz lebih jimat and bole singgah bnyk tempat lain, tapi in the end I've realized hikmahnye, dapat gather beramai2 camni and dapat kenal dgn lebih rapat ngan semua warga Bonn ni is actually priceless... sangat seronok dapat berkumpul and kenal2 ngan mereka2 ni yg tersangat la baik hati, and insyaAllah, jumpe lagi di Aidilfitri nanti :)

Sunday, piknik pulak, thanx to all of them for precious moments.. tapi sayang Yla and suami x dapat join skali, maybe next time..

mmmmm.. that's not the end of the story yet.. ade sikit tragedy on the way balik dari Keukenhof ke Bonn.. Bas bertolak balik about 5pm, dah masuk waktu Asar, so kami decide nak solat jamak takhir dalam bas aje.. toilet pun ade dalam bas tu, so bole la ambil wudhu. Fatini pulak dah tetido lena sungguh, so papa baringkan die kat dua seat yg kosong... ade 4 seat kosong in one row actually, so I pun duduk la kat seat kosong bertentang Fatini utk solat. Ingat nak dok seat tu terus so dapat la jaga Fatini, takut2 die terjatuh pulak. Alangkah terkejutnye, dah hampir selesai solat, about to give salam, tiba2 bas belanggar ngan sebuah kereta.. the impact wasn't so massive but it was loud enough to startle all children in the bus and ade sorang sampai berdarah hidung sebab terantuk la kot. It happened in a few seconds, sgt mengejutkan especially bila budak2 semua menangis termasuk la Aleena. But, Subhanallah, Fatini mantain tido, and masa pelanggaran tu, I was bout to give salam, so my head was bout to turn to the right side, I saw a glimpse of her body moving forward, in accordance with the momentum of the impact, I remember feeling panick and uncertain in that few seconds, either to stop praying and prevent Fatini from falling or just continue solat... but, Subahanallah, it's as if something held her in place.. and she just continue her sleep peacefully.. Alhamdulillah...

Because of the accident, we were delayed by one hour and a half kot.. fuuuhhh just imagine camne restless nye budak2 ni.. and bile dah finally selesai and bas pun bergerak balik, massive traffic jam pulak, last2 sampai la kami ke Bonn dalam pukul 12 tgh malam kot huhuhu.. semua nye kepenatan...

Nevertheless, the trip was awesome, and we had a great time... berbaloi baloi laaa hahaha..
