Seafood Platters

oohh.. gosh. Back to reality guys!! After a long holidays, starting from Chrismas to New Year, it feels like lazy to be going back to work.

During the long holidays, we were on the journey to the north. Thanks to sha for the great idea, we visited my parent in Kedah and Raees got to meet his grand parent. One day after Chrismas, we arrived in Alor Star and we are in time as Kak Chak and her family is still around. Kakak Ayin and Abg Yam are very trilled to play with their cousin.

On the same night of the arrival, we had our "makan besar"at the Nelayan Seafood Restaurant (not the one in Tasik Titiwangsa), for a family get-to-gather. Unfortunately, Kak Cik couldn't join the fun. We ordered all kind of seafoods, there is "ikan bakar berempah, sotong goreng tepung, ketam goreng bercili and udang masak sambal". It isn't like the seafood platters of Manhattan Fish Market, but the malay style. Nyum.. nyum!!


We depart for KL on the New Years' eve. Before going back, it is a must to visit the Pekan Rabu to buy some "ole-ole" for the family in KL. Eventhough, the journey is tiring, but we definitely had fun during the journey to the North.

I am 16 going on 17

This song was sang by Liesl of the Von Trap family from the movie the Sound of Music. I believe many people remember the movie. This particular song reminds me of my sis-in-law birthday, yesterday: 28 December 2008.

As a tradition, all family members will gather to celebrate this important moment where Ain's age will increase from 22 to 23. We had our dinner at Kelab Darul Ehsan; this time around we are not jinx, everybody got their food at the same time. After the moment of silence, everyone is pretty satisfied with the food. As the restaurant will end their day, we again pack our cake and headed home.

At home we continue with the celebration with the cake cutting ceremony. Everybody sang the "song" along with the piano played by Ija. After candles were blowed and wishes were made, we all find our way to the bed.

2nd day.. we visited the Monsopiad Cultural Village aka the house of skull. scary.. Monsopiad is a Kadazandusun warrior who is well-known to be a headhunter. Legend told he collected 42 heads while hunting down and fight off the warriors that had terrorized his village for so long. He will bring back their heads as trophies, he claimed, and hang them from the roof of his house!

That's all folk. it's really nice to visit Kota Kinabalu!!
