My first week



Salam to all....It has been 3 days since we arrived safely at KLIA...and yesterday was a hectic day for me. I did enrolled my eldest child to a smart reader class since we will be here in KL for a period of time, might as well I send him off somewhere where he can learn and meeting new friends rather than just being at home and playing with his playstation.





Later in the afternoon, after picking him up from school, the 3 of us, me, my son and my daughter went to Ampang Park to meet my sister and had our lunch there. We went to Ampang Park by LRT. Since it's Friday and the traffic will be something plus the rain...The laksa asam has always being my favourite and it still the marvellous taste I've ever had...Then we took a cab to KLCC...owh, before that we dropped my sister at her office in Jln. Yap Kwan Seng...There, we start to scout and have a look on everything that are on sale and again being me...I grabbed a parfume and my beauty product...Than we stoped over at Guess Kids, I went into Tods and terjebak with one key holder. Then jet off to Levis...I tell you, the sales like crazy....so after a while there I decided to go back and the kids were tired also.




On the way back, I thought of just taking a cab straight back home. However, unfortunately for us, we were not allowed to take the cab in front of the mall itself, so we have to walked to Jalan Ampang to hail for a cab. I thought that it would be easier for us to take a cab from across the street rather than waiting on the other side of the road which take me longer back home.




Suddenly a bus came and Rasyad said he wanted to ride on the bus...so without any hesitation...we jumped on the bus and off we go.....So it was a long journey for both of my kids and they get to experience all the public transportation..which I think it's good as they never had a ride in a bus before. So there goes my day...LRT, cab and bus in a day...When we got home everybody was flat including me but we really had a great time.

Care for dates anyone?

Today,Insya Allah I'll be flying back to my dear home town..Kay Ell here I come...so my hubby had asked some workers from the PDO...to pluck the dates out of the trees. We've got few...These are for my parents, my aunt and my uncle as they want to save it for for Ramadhan....The dates I could tell you ...It is really nice and sweet if it's ready but it has a different kind of taste once you plucked it and keep it with the one that is already mature on the tree by itself....Nothing much to say....Only that, see u guys there!!!

My day

I didn't do much nowadays...only started packing my stuff bit by bit..and last Friday me and the rest went to Seeb Souq to look for some Jubah for my mum since it will be Eid soon...got back from Seeb at about quarter to midnight... It's a tiring day for the kids but they really enjoyed it since my daughter keep nagging the father that she wanted to go shopping and she was always dressed up and just waitng for us to make a move....I guessed they were just bored sitting alone at home, no school, no friends... just looking at me 24 hours a day and yelled at them when they make a mess...not a yell that in pains.. just a normal mom would shout when the house is tunggang terbalik....

The next day, we went to a shop near Ghubra Roundabout to bought halwa for my parents. This shop was recommended by Kak Lyn as she bought for herself there also...and the shopowner remembered her as my hubby was about to pay and he said that last week also there was one Malaysian bought the same kind of halwa from his shop....FYI, halwa was a sweets made by the Omanis in conjunction to celebrate any occasion...they seldom give gifts...i.e: if there's a newcomer in the family they bought a bowl of halwa and put it in the office just to let everyone know that they are celebrating something. Halwa is just like our dodol only sweeter...

Kak Lyn's trip Back to Kay Ell



On the 7th, we sent Kak Lyn and family back to Malaysia..and now I started to count my days before me myself heading back....alahai..rasa macam another century..Before we set for airport, Kak Lyn gave us a treat at Bin Ateeq for a dinner. It was a perfect timing but my kids did not like it except for they get to meet up with Haikal since I've promised them that we would be going for a pizza at Papa's John for dinner at the airport itself...It was a safe journey for them..Alhamdulillah...



So, when me and Rasyad read Kak Intan's blog about their meet up...Rasyad had started to cry as he misses Hakeem and Zaid already and he started to asking me all sorts of questions on why we were not on the pictures, why are we going back to Malaysia the latest....I just could not answer his question..makes me sad....

Shopping time

It was on the 5th of July I decided to go for a little shopping with my dear Kak Lyn and her kids....since I've got to buy some scarfs for Kak Intan since she had already pesan to me long time before...So, after I picked everyone up, we had our breakfast at Sultan Centre-Jean's Grill....who ever had been there,the buffet still remain the same...but the laughs we had plus some funny jokes these kids were making, made the day....

Later we head off to Al-Harty Complex to scout for the scarfs..we've been looking for the shop that Kak Intan told me before which only sells scarfs and not any abaya or jubah...we went the upper floor and walla....we did quite a few purchases..which all the good and lovely colours had sold out...Before heading back home...I stopped by Patchi to buy some chocolates for my dad who loves chocolates....anyhow the chocolates were all finish...my kids and my hubby hentam everything....So I guessed I have to come back again and buy for my dad.

Time to relax

4th of July, was another snorkeling session for us...but it went quite short for me as the sea was quite choppy...earlier Kak Lyn was asking me how much I should pay her for something that is valueable to me and I still couldn't think of any until she showed me my dear camera....Aha...now I know where it went..No wonder I've been searching up and down the house but I cannot find it...

I said to her why did she gave to me earlier as I was about to persuade my hubby to buy the latest model for me. It's only a joke..and I know my hubby very well....He wouldn't buy something unless for sure that camera was lost..because he said to me earlier that he saw me taking pictures went we sent Salman off...hmmm...I 've already guessed the answer in a way of saying no...Therefore, the snorkeling session for all of us finish at around 10.30 but we did had a good breakfast with fried noodle, fried rice with sambal sotong and nasi himpit with kuah kacang....

Rasyad's last day of school



July the 2nd also was the last day of school for Rasyad...So he may go to school dressing up as he wish but the teacher had told the parents earlier that they wanted to make a pyjamas party. So on this particular day rasyad had insisted on weaing his Power Rangers pyjamas that wears always..right after washing them..I could say that it is his fav pj...



The best part was, even the teachers were in their pjs...You would never see if the kids are schooling back in Malaysia with a rigid curriculum..Here they had more fun while learning and I think kids are better off these way as less pressure are instil on them...Thank to one of the parent who took photo of Rasyad..Thanks Sadia....
