We r Family!

PDB Central Region held their Family Day at Corus Paradise PD on 19-20/2 2011. It's like a holiday get away for me, resting n relaxing after a hectic week preparation for lukhman's wedding.

we reached the hotel at 230pm. the room was not that spacious but the bed was quite big.

AT 530pm, we were called to joint the Beach Game. The first game was the giant shoe for adult...n guess what, our team won..huahuahua.... baru warm up tapi dah menang.ngeh3x.

next abang n nurin participated....cant remember the name of the game. nurin won 1st n abg won 3rd...kumpul hadiah lagi. hahhaha...game ended at 7pm...and so we rushed to get ready for the retro nite theme dinner.

best jugek malam2 makan tepi pantai. food was good too. as usual lucky draw was the finale of the dinner. n malam tu kami tak bertuah. so tgk jela org2 bertuah amik hadiah :)

Pik played golf early sunday morning, so me had to bring the kids to the pool. me mingled with the petronas staffs' wives yang senasib i.e. ditinggalkan suami2 yg main golf. they were friendly and yeah...lotsa story shared n me learnt lotsa thing from them too.. apa yg dipelajari tu..hrmm...xleh la share kat sini. huahuahua..

we left the hotel at 3pm.. kids slept all the way till we reached home. penat main kat pool.

All in all... we had fun!

Usha Sushi...

19 feb 2011

Fulfilling nurin's wish to eat at Sushi restaurant so we had dinner at SaKae Sushi, Leisure Mall last Sat. Initially, we planned to go to Sushi King KLCC, but upon reaching MR2, seeing bad traffic, we routed to Leisure Mall.

I was quite surprised that the twins were all excited to eat sushi. heheh.. i guess its not so much for the food to them but more to having the experience to use the chopstick and jadik rambang mata looking at the fancy colored food.
Rafik dah biasa sgt la ngan japanese food ni, almaklumla sejak jadik members Kajang Hill Golf Club kan. Owner nye jepun, so etime ada tournament, food served at the club either chinese course or japanese course. So, we leave the menu selection to him. There were sushi, tempura, bento and green tea on the table. Oh yes..watch out for wasabe.. huh..berangin panas smpi ke idung, n terkeluar2 airmato den..so my cup was refilled with cold green tea more than 4 times gitu. ahah!

note: From my observation, Nurin does not fear to try varieties of food unlike Abang who is very much the kampung boy type. Abang prefers nasi ,,skema betul anak teruna sorang ni. tapi takpala..asalkan dia makan. n tak susah nak layan perut dia.

Hrmm..mahal gak makanan jepun ni ek... so, will not be a regular place for us to visit ;)

All are now in Primary!

twins d hari orientasi

3 Jan 2011

Abang std 6, Kakak std 5 and si kembar std 1.

An end to pre-school,,,yay!. so, baju2 pre-school dah selamat disedekahkan. Tak perlu nak simpan lagi sbb dah takda yang akan masuk pre-school. I did the list of things to do/buy since Nov '10 lagi and dah mula main kutu dr awal tahun. bajet sorang anak rm1K...well mama hanya top up mana yg tak cukup. major portion of coz dr abah la. hahhaha

bukan mudah dan senang nak sediakan sekali 4 budak punye persiapan sekolah. dr baju, buku,kasut, stokin, yuran sekolah, stationeries, tranportation smpi la ke purse n mangga loker pun nak kene senaraikan. (erk.. kene tambah jugak pencarian guru tusen n their fees, now that abang taking upsr ths year).. huh... mmg bertambah uban kat kepala ni pikir. kepala otak ni jugak yg berputar mcmana nak plan pukul brp nak bangun pagi, cara paling efektif nak kejut and siapkan anak2 esp si kembar tu, tmasuk jugakla diri sendiri yg kene bersiap ke ofs. almaklumla.. kita ni jugakla yg kene panaskan enjin kete n drv them to school. ( so,,,tambah tugas jadik time keeper sbb nak kene pastikan 650am.. dah klua dr rumah)

abang n kakak, alhamdulillah dah boleh manage diri sendiri. tak perlu la mama nak kene jengok sekali sekala dlm bilik air to make sure air dr shower tu hala jek ke badan tapi mata masih tertutup and badan tak bersabun. i had to force the twins to sleep at 930pm for the 1st day of school (la ni pukul 830pm, dah panjat katil n tido..mereka saangt letih).

550am kakak the first to shower followed by twins n lastly abang. Abang kita bagi chance kejut paling lambat sbb me foreseeing abang yg akan tido paling lmbt utk siapkan hwork nnt (n my instict was rite *wink)

and so.. for the first 2 weeks, mama kene ikut jalan gate belakang. expecting parents yg ada anak tahun 1 akan merasa ghairah pada awal2 tahun utk htr anak smpi ke dataran sekolah ( and most of them akan guna main entrance sbb its a shorter-distance walking to school area). so... ramai yg akan park kat tepi2 jalan sekolah which...eventually akan menambahkan sesak jalan yg dah mmg tersedia sesak. (*mama has to be on time jugak ke ofs ye..)

pity si kembar sbb sblm2 ni, abg n kkk dpt keistimewaan diturunkan dan dihtr via gate depan. i cant afford to do that sbb abg n kakak bila dah senior ni,,, dah demand utk smpi awal ke sekolah. 730pm turun kete utk masuk sek is no longer acceptable for them. *sigh.

so nadiahnadhirah, pagi2 lagi dah berpeluh leher (ketiak tak sure plak..tak check..hahah) sbb nak kene jln naik bukit ke sekolah. setakat ni tak smpi hati lagi nak just drop them and go. so i had to find a good parking n walk together with them while carrying their bags ( mama kene cukup berstamina utk mengangkat 2 beg smbl mendaki bukit.. i need to keep fit , people!!!..huahuahuah...). this year jugak, we managed to get a van to pick up the kids from school. kalau sblm2 ni..abg n kakak together wth najwanaim akan diambil oleh mama or aunty nina.. but for the twins, a non-relative aka abg kassim yg amik derang. sad..but guess these are the things that mums just have to shut their eyes n pray hard the childrens are in good hands. "Ya Allah, peliharalah dan lindungilah anak-anak ini dan jauhilah mereka dr kejahatan manusia dan syaitan, amin amin Ya Rabbal alamin".

malam... it is either sending-fetching abang for tuition class or sit wth the kids to make sure they do their hwork (sit tu tak bermakna dok sebelah n tolong..hahha.. hanya duduk ..tgk n kdg2 tertutup mata sbb ngantok. kah3x). lepas sumer siap, tuck 'em to bed n setakat ni mama lah yg kene siapkan buku2 twins ikut jadual. derang msh terkial2 lagi n mama blm cukup konfiden to let them do it on their own.

and so..thats the routine so far. weekend mmg kene spare time utk lelapkan mata di siang hari dan merehat2kan badan. (kene mula cari supplemen to stay energetic nih!!)

Dec 2010 - Trips and Treats

Its trips n treats time in Dec 2010.

24-26 Dec 2010. Christmas in PD. Pak Lah anak beranak bercuti d Permaisuri Resort PD. Everybody was there except for Amree n wife. A treat for the kids actually. We celebrated the PMR achievers, school leaver and the pre-school graduates ;) There were lotsa foods, indoor games, outdoor games, get wet at the pool n the beach. Good job to us all !!

5- 8 Dec 2010, we went to Medan. Rafik treat us all for this trip. Us family, ayah mak plus Siti. ahah!.. yeap..we had our maid with us. kinda token for her year-end. Medan was an exhaustive journey i must say. shopping in Medan..nah..tak sesuweii.. but yes..we enjoyed the scenery and sights tho. Lake toba, its small islands, also the famous Piso piso waterfall. but i must tell you, u require lots of patience having to sit in the van for 3-4 hours drive to these places. whatmore with the bad road condition. felt as if we're in a roller-coaster. however, we thanked our skillful driver. he's damn good manoeuvering the van. We spent one nite in Lake Toba and 2 nites in Medan.

I was glad that i got the chance to meet Maya, my UPM ex-coursemate. its been more than 10 years. she came wth her family to our hotel. we had a quick dinner wth them and thanks a lot Maya for the souvenir and time spent.

enjoy the pics people!

2D/1N at Hospital Pantai, Pandan Indah.

And 4 dressings in a month.

Jun 2010

Nadiah warded at Hospital Pantai, Pandan Indah due to prolonged fever. Lucky it was just viral infection and not other dangerous diseases. It was a 3D/2N stay with mama. Pity Nadiah, she came in with red spots on her arms, thighs and tummy. she was so dehydrated.

Crunchy Munchy

Tahun ni, teruja nak buat cookies raya sdiri. so dgn bantuan resepi dr sherry and kesudian kak fiza utk sama2 membantu (sumbangan tenaga dan juga oven yg besar) kami berjaya membuat crunchy cornflakes. sebelum2 ni, kami biasa order dgn sherry jek, tau bayar n makan aje. so thn ni, kita experienced sdiri perit jerih sherry menguli, menggentel, membakar dan menyusun cookies dlm balang. hehhee... mmg seronok bila cookies menjadik! cookies ni mmg simple bangat dan sdp.sungguh rangup dikunyah ...n yes, mmg takda dlm kepala otak nak mencuba resepi cookies yang susah2 n leceh. bukan apa, tak sanggup nak hadapi situasi lepas cookies siap, rasa ke laut! hahah... frust oooo kalau mcm tu

so...m sharing here some of the pics taken by our assistant cik ameerah kita. in total we made 6 adunan, so dpatla dlm 600 biji. dpt la bagi org lain merasa. ops..resepi takleh share ..itu kene tanya tunapunye cookies i.e Pn Shariffah Noraziah ye.:)

p.s ribuan tkasih to sherry n kak fiza

Kami berjumpa..Kami berborak, kami ketawa, kami makan dan kami berpisah..buat sementara

salam 2 Ramadhan

Alhamdulillah...harini dah masuk hari ke-2 umat Islam mengerjakan ibadah puasa di bulan ramadhan yang mulia ini.

Tahun ni anak2 kita dah 4 orang yang berpuasa. Si kembar dah mula kita jinak2kan dengan berpuasa dan alhamdulillah semlm mereka berdua dpt menghabiskan 1 hari ibadah puasa, wpun ptg smlm dah mula merengek minta untuk berbuka. si adik (nadhirah) merengek mintak air dan si kakak (nadiah) tak abis2 menggosok2 perut yang leper tu. naluri ibu ni mmg betul2 tersentuh tapi terpaksa kuatkan diri sbb nak melatih anak2 berpuasa. kalau tak tegas nnt susah pulak bila mereka dah besar nanti. Kakak dan Abang mmg takda masalah langsung la...tapi seperti biasa, Abang ni cepat pening berbanding Kakak. Kalau berbuka tu, Abang mesti nak nasi dan Kakak pulak kalau dapat air sebotol pun dah cukup kenyang bagi dia.
Kita rasa semua ibubapa akan berikan apa sahaja keinginan berbuka anak2 mereka dalam bulan Ramadhan ni kan. Setakat hari ni, belom ada lagi permintaan anak2 tapi rasanya kita dah kene bersedia ngan bahan2 masakan untuk makanan kegemaran anak2. mungkin hujung minggu ni la baru nak buatkan makanan kegemaran derang. heheh..nasib baik mudah dan tak leceh nak dibuat. Abang tu mmg suka sangat makan roti john. lepas makan nasi , memang roti john la dia akan hadap sorang. Kakak pulak..kek batik. bila tengok harga kek batik septong yang dijual kat bazar ramadhan, aduhla..mmg lebih jimat kalau buat sendiri. blh makan berkali2 dan rasa pun sedap. tapi ni semua kene tunggu hujung minggu la. kalau nak harap kita masak lepas balik ofis tu...ermmm....mmg tak sempat la.

oh ya...sebelom bulan puasa menjelang, kami MASK buat perjumpaan d PappaRich @ D Curve. selain dari makan2, kami jugak celebrate tamatnye 2nd semester kami belajar Kutaq d UiA. i'allah, kami semua lulus untuk sem baru Oktober nnt. alhamdulillah...tahniah dan syabas MASK!!! atas kejayaan kita. semoga kita akan terus disuntik dengan semangat yang kuat dan tabah meredah trafik untuk ke kelas Kutaq setiap rabu jam 8 malam next sem ye. :)

akhir kata.. selamat menyambut ramadhan al-mubarak kawan2. semoga amalan kita di bulan yang mulia ini akan diterima Allah dan semoga kita dapat bertemu malam yang penuh barakah di bulan mulia ini iaitu malam lailatul qadar.. i'allah!

transformasi

The TigerPaint Team




sana sini org ckp pasal transformation. kat kedai kopi, kat pejabat, kat suratkhabar, kat tv dan mcm2 tempat lagi lah!

jadik, tercetusla idea nak transform jugak la. tapi bukan transform diri.. tapi transformkan ruang bilik tidur utama yang rasa2nya, tak pernah dibuat sebarang transformation, walaupun dah hampir 8 tahun menghuni rumah sewa yang kita sewa sebelah rumah mak ni. lagipun, tak lama lagi nak raya , jadik buat sekali jalan la. dan yang lebih terdorong nak transform bilik ni sebabnya adalah kerana perabot i.e. katil dan meja solek masa zaman pengantin dah makin tua dah tak mampu lagi nak berdiri dengan teguh. belom tambah lagi dengan bekas2 contengan kaler pensil la, kaler magik la yang dikreatifkan oleh anak2 diatasnya. oh ya, plus keinginan kita nak transform ni jugak disokong oleh teman sebilik dan sekatil :) tu yang menjadikan cita2 transformation ni menjadik kenyataan. kalau tak, harus tunggu lagi 20-30 tahun baru boleh transform. hihihi

we start of dengan mengemas dan membersihkan ruang bilik (dengan membuang segala harta karun yang ada didalamnya). not an easy job rupanye. makan hari jugakla buat mende tu. maklumla... tenaga pun dah bukan mcm dolu2, jadik agak slow la dan masa yang diambil pun agak lama. oh ya, kerja2 pengemasan ni, kita n anak2 yang buat sementara rafik pegi membeli dan memilih cat pilihan. mcm biasa, kitaorg suka beli cat jotun sbb catnya tak berbau, harga berpatutan n kedainya pun dekat ngan rumah aje. sebelum tu puas jugak la kami mintak bantuan uncle google utk tgk kaler2 yang sesuai utk bilik tidur. yang pasti, kita nak ada feature wall.

so, by the time rafik balik ngan cat hijau tua (as feature wall) and pastel green for the rest of the walls, bilik tidur tu kita dah siap bentangkan ngan suratkhabar (dgn harapan takdala cat menjejes2 serata rumah...kununnye). kenapa hijau... hrmm...supaya hati jadik tenang dan rileks aje bila tgk kehijauan bilik. maklumla...balik dr ofs, hati slalunye panas ngan trafik dan keje2 ofs yang selalu berserabut dalam kepala otak.

kerja2 mengecat ni amik masa 2 hari (mula sabtu pagi smpila tengah malam ahad). walaupun anak2 menolong tapi paham2 jekla, derang tolong dlm 20minit jek, pastu dah hilang. kemana lagi kalau bukan mengadap tv kan. Abah jekla yang setia menyiapkan the whole room. oh ye, pintu bilik pun kami catkan dengan warna krim.

Alhamdulillah setelah 2 hari berhempas pulas dgn kita ni memendam perasaan sbb tgk bilik berselerak dan berserabut., akhirnya siap jugak bilik kami. Huh!! memang rasa puas hati sangat la ngan hasil titik peluh sendiri. penat pun lupa bila dah tengok bilik nampak kemas dan berwarna...hihihi (sblm ni bilik tu takda warna..)

so next, kami nak kene reckee pulak katil dan meja solek yang sesuai utk bilik. perabot pun nak yang simple2 aje dan kene carik meja komputer yang comel utk letakkan baby Mac ni. oh ye, bahan2 bacaan yang dalam color box lama tu pun dah mcm menjerit2 mintak diletakkan dalam tempat yang lebih selesa. ok ok...bookcase kene carik jugak. hey...lantai ni takkan tak beralas dan takkanla nak pakai langsir lama bila raya menjelang nanti kan. hrmmmm...$$$$$$ dah mula menyerang kepala otak. ...panas panas!!!
