Seafood Platters

2008-12-29T23:47:00.004+08:00

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!!

Thank You En Raffi

You might wonder who is he? Who is En Raffi? He was my superior before he moved to MISA. Anyway, thanks En Raffi for inviting us from MISC KL to MISA for the "meriah" Open House.

We left the office at 12 noon making our way to Port Klang through NKVE. There was 5 of us in Latio; Halis, Che Pah, Mui, Zura and me. While, Syed drove his grand lavina too with Champa, Vi, Zaitul, Eva and Nurul. Anyway, they took loooong detour to Pulau Indah before reaching Port Klang.

After we have stuffed ourselves with all the good foods; En Raffi brought us to his office and a tour around MISA.

My 1st Trip to Kuala Kangsar

2008-10-18T10:29:00.026+08:00

Hi there.. last week, i went to Kuala Kangsar. My mummy told me it is my tok daddy's hometown. I woke up really early that day as we will be strating the journey in the morning. At 9am, we cruised the highway to KK in the big and comfy Estima so that we can reach there just in time for lunch.

After waiting for 3 hours in the car, we have finally arrived in KK. Nice and peaceful town. First, we stop for lunch. Tok daddy brought us to the most famous place for laksa in KK, Restoran Laksa Pak Ngah. Pak Ngah sold laksa since the year 1955. During that time, he was on his motorbike going around KK to sell laksa.

After lunch, tok daddy brought us to his Alma Mater, MCKK and Clifford High School. Uncle Syear, you went to this school too?

Lastly, we visited opah midah in Ribu before going back to KL that day.

Open House!! Who's House

2008-10-12T02:37:00.003+08:00

The time of the year has come again for the "open house" fever. It has been a culture now in KL where people only visits their friends/relatives during open house. So, when there are a lot of open houses, traffic jams will be everywhere. To make it worse, it rains. And the conclusion is you'll be spending your time in your lovely car rather than your friends lovely home. Well, that's what happen to me a couple of years ago.

Actually, today's event refresh my memory. Everywhere JAM.. Jalan Jelatek - jam. MRR2 - jam. Jalan Ampang - jam. Jalan Taman Kosas - jam. Jalan Kerja Air Lama in front of Petronas - also jam. Dengan kata lain, all routes going out from Ampang Jaya are JAM. When Syawal ends, things will be back to normal.

So.. whats about your open house invitation? Definitely, my pda is full with invitations now. I even have 3 invitations in 1 day. Gosh!! Noon - midnite is the prime time for open house. So, if you want to organize an open house, try inviting your guest for breakfast. Odd isn't it? No laa.. I just went to the breakfast open house this morning, hosted by one of our neighbours. Breakfast open house can be the next "in-thing" when we are so caught-up with numerous invitations during the prime time.

Already 3am.. signing off people. got to wake up early tomorrow. family trip to Perak, visiting my papa's hometown.

Meet Raees Imran

2008-10-09T21:16:00.016+08:00

Hi!! My name is Raees Imran. Some of my aunty's, mummy's friends and daddy's friends call me Waeesh Imwan, baby Im or even Raees Shin Chan. i dont know why. But, i still prefer Raees Imran. I am now 8 months old. I can sit up straight and giggle.

I was born on 14 January 2008 at Ampang Putri Specialist Hospital. Since i was very excited to see the world, i came out early by 1 month. Of course my mummy and daddy are very-very happy even though they are anxious when i was put into the incubator for 2 days. When i was out i saw my nanny, tok daddy, aunt ain, aunt ija and uncle man circling me with a grin.

When i came back home, my daddy told me that my tok mama, tok ayah, mama, bapak, acik and uncle gedd came to visit me. I welcome them all with a loud cry. To add to my hapiness, my mummy told me that i have 2 cousins; kakak ayin and abang yam.

That's all from me for now.. Thank you to uncle's and aunty's for giving me a lot and lot of presents for welcoming me to the world.

2008-10-05T08:48:00.006+08:00

It's been a while that we do not write anything in our blog. well, this would be my first time blogging as this blog was created by my wife; sha. however, it seems that everybody blogged now, i have to have the "IN thing". BLOG.

Going back to the original title, i would like to wish salam aidilfitri to the readers. this year would be the first year that we celebrated raya with our beloved son. based on "sistem giliran", this year is kedah, my hometown. of course my mother was very delighted when she knows that her grandson will be coming back for raya. the traffic was rather smooth to and fro. the celebration was quite simple and raees collects a lot of duit raye. don't worry people, its gonna go to raees own Yippie account.

Sombong atau Pendiam? ~ Snobbish or Reserved?

2008-06-17T00:07:00.004+08:00

Suddenly I just thought about this...so lets think together,

Sombongnyer dier tuh! or Dier tuh memang sombong!Apa betulkah agaknya apa yg kita fikirkan?Kadangkala, it may turned up that the person actually reserved and maybe pemalu orangnya...

Sebenarnya semua itu dapat dibezakan kalau kita tahu menggayakan emosi tepat pada masanya.That's what I think! Reserved tuh mungkin akan membawa persepsi sombong apabila kita bertindak dingin dan kurang mesra walaupun sudah ditegur mesra. Manakala persepsi sombong pula mungkin bertukar apabila kita belajar mengenali seseorang itu lebih dekat lagi...itulah yg menarik tentang definisi dan persepsi...hanya kita sendiri yang dapat memastikan keperibadian....

Well I just give a thought!

Raees Imran ~ YaAllah, Segala Puji BagiMU !

Dudukku mula tak kena,
Sungguh! tidak selesa,

hati tertanya, apakah sudah tiba masanya?

Walau sakit aku masih menunggu,
sabar menunggu suami...
sakitku semakin mengundang gusar...
YaAllah!Sakitnya!

Sabar, selawat sayang...
pesan suami menenangkanku...
gusar,takutku, Allah saja yang tahu,
sedar tak sedar,
Alhamdulillah...puteraku lahir
sihat walafiat,
kini Raees Imran hadir,
melengkapkan hidup kami,
suami isteri...justeru,
melayakkan kami bergelar,
Ayah dan Ibu...
YaAllah ,Segala puji bagiMU!

I just realized...

Sometimes what you think right might not happen right. It might be, you will learn something throughout either good or bad experiences or it might be a disaster. But, it is always better to be positive as to have a complete life you should have a pair, good and bad experiences.

It's great to be pregnant!

Bunda Rindu !

Rinduku untuk melihatmu
hanya Tuhan yang tahu,
jejak dan gerakmu,
ibarat melonjak perasaan,naluri keibuanku.

Hari-hari kulalui,
berteman rasa bahagia di sebalik gusar,
apa yang pasti, ku ingin benar melihatmu, sayang anakku,
malah bukan itu sahaja,
rasanya seperti mahu mendakap erat,
membelai mesra sambil menyusukan.

Penantian semakin mendebarkan,
ku tak henti menghitung hari,
lagi berdoa pada Ilahi,
mudah-mudahan kita bertemu,
mengubati rinduku kurang lebih 9 bulan,
justeru kurnia gelaran Bunda...
Oh!Rindunya bunda....

Nice feeling when you love someone and you become the loved ones

2008-06-04T11:23:00.000+08:00

Tenunan kasihku sayang....

Suci, tenang dan damai rasanya,
Bila kasih tertenun lalu rindu terkait,
Terkejut dari lena yang panjang,
Kerana rindukan si dia,
Hati tercuit dek tenunan kasih yang indah ;

Sunyi, kecewa yang dulunya pernah singgah,
Kini diganti rasa kasih yang tak jemu menjengah,
Pelangi senja yang dulunya bertamu,
Kini mewarnai hariku riang girang selalu ;

Setiap insan berkasih,
Kerana rasa kasih anugerah Ilahi,
Dengan mencintai dan dicintai si dia,
Membuatku lebih kasih akan Yang-ESA ;

Lantas kusulamkan doa,
Perkenankan sutera impianku Tuhan,
Benarkan rasa cinta dan kasih ini berpanjangan,
Cinta kasih padanya ku turut setia,
Cinta hakiki padaMU tak mungkin ku persia.
