I'm Back from Bangkok!

Was a great honeymoon with hubby in Bangkok. We were there from 1 - 3 March 2012. Eventhough it was a short trip, it was a fun holiday for us.

We stayed at Indra Regent Hotel, Pratunam. Easy access to everywhere, halal food is just 5 minutes away and the hotel staff was friendly. I like.. I like and I like...

The 3 days were filled with shopping and massage session. It was 8 years ago that I visited Bangkok. It was when Rizq was only 6 months old. He was left at home with maid and in laws. This time around.. he was left again at home. With maid and my mother. We were lucky as Rizq is such an easy boy to handle. He doesn't care much if mommy and daddy wanted to go anywhere. As long as he has his Tab and PS2.. he will be fine.

Just a few pictures from my holiday...

Balik Kampung Time...MAlacca Here We Come

21 Jan 2012

We started our journey early Saturday morning to avoid the Balik Kampung rush. So so early that we didn't even have the chance to have our breakfast pun. Even that, we only reach Malacca at 10am. Quickly rush to MITC area to have something to eat. Tetiba plak waktu tengah makan, SIL called and ask us to join them for breakfast. Haha.. 2nd breakfast in the morning. Mana lah tak gemuknya kalo balik Malacca ni.

During this trip, Rizq ajak nak pergi A Famosa. Adoi! Longgar lutut mummy Rizq ooiii... The last time panjat bukit tinggi ni is when I was in Form Five. Time tu datang dengan boifren cinta monyet. Siap baling2 duit syiling lagi dalam telaga kekonon making a wish. Porahh!! Wish kemana apa kemana...

So layan gambar kat bawah ni dulu...

Second Day petang nak ke park pulak. Nasib baik lah umah in law ni serba serbi dekat... so sebut jer nak kemana.. hubby akan bawakkan.

First nite dinner was at Crystal Bay Ikan Bakar. Tak sempat pun nak amek gambar..

Kat bawah ni is our second nite dinner @ Restoran Terapung (Tomyam Klasik). Ambience was good. Food was a so so jer...

Monday morning we start our journey back to Shah Alam. Menghabiskan sisa2 cuti CNY kat rumah saja....

Abis Kontrak!

Baru2 ni waktu tengah masak untuk berbuka.. maid aku bersuara..



Maid: Ibu, kontrak saya dua tahun tamat tempoh bulan 3 nie...



Aku dah berdebar2 nie. Kopak lah lagi duit aku 7-8 ribu nak membayar kat agen. Bukannya senang nak dapatkan maid sekarang.



Aku: Aaaa... iyer. Kenapa?



Maid: Kalau saya mau sambung kerja dirumah Ibu boleh??



Pergh! Rasa macam bulan jatuh ke riba...



Aku: memang la Ibu mau kamu sambung. Kalau tidak siapa yang mau jaga Rizq? Jadi kamu mau pulang bercuti tak?



Maid: Lama lagi rasanya. Mungkin tahun depan baru saya mau pulang cuti ke Indonesia...

Senyum panjang lah aku...hahahaha.....

What Does Calories Mean To You...

Ermmm ermmm yummy!! These are what my BFF and myself had for today's dessert. A scoop of Baskin Robins ice cream and a caramel cheesecake.





Plussss.... these are not the only food we had for lunch today. First, we had lunch at Tarbush, Pavilion and adjourned to Nandos for these yummilicious dessert.





Some said that I had too much of good food everyday.. Is it everyday ker? As far as I can remember.. uuuhhh..... yer la! It's everyday. Hahahaha....





On the other note... My school mate of 5 years passed away of acute leukimia after Subuh this morning. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas arwah Sazila Yunus dan tempatkannya dikalangan orang orang yang beriman. Amin.....

KISAH SEBUAH MACHINE & SEORANG ANAK

Nampak tak machine yang boleh aku katakan canggih la pada diri aku ni...

Kenwood breadmaker 250. That's the model. I got it last year.. time tu memang berkobar-kobar lah rasanya diri ni nak buat roti. Hahahha.... Dan seperti biasa.. Marlina ni cuma hangat hangat like chicken shit. Buat dua tiga kali, and that's it! Tutup buku.

So last few nites, Mr Hubby pun tanya..

"Yang.. dah lama you tak buat roti kan!"

Then sambung lagi (time tu Rizq pun ada) ..."Rizq.. nanti kita suruh mommy buat roti lagi ok!"

Rizq pun jawab "Roti apa daddy?"

Daddy: Alaaa.... macam2 roti mommy boleh buat.

Rizq: Ooooo yang macam itu hari mommy buat roti raisin tapi yang tak jadi tu yer.....

Uhuk..uhuk.. anak...anak... Selama ni mommy masak sedap2 & lazat2 semua tak ingat. Roti seketul yang tak menjadi tu jer la yang ko ingat yer Rizq...

Christmas Trip

We were in Jakarta - Bandung from 23 Dec - 26 Dec recently.

It was in-laws family trip. Altogether there were 11 of us on the trip.



We board KLM and arrived Jakarta around 7:30p.m. as the flight was delayed. The tour guide was already there waiting when we arrived. The plan for the nite was dinner and then they will send us back to the hotel. We stayed in Triniti Hotel. It was only a so-so kind of hotel. But.. I tell you... the traffic that nite was havoc! It was jammed every corner of Jakarta!! Penat.. memang penat. After dinner.. checked-in to hotel and boom... off we went to bed!






Started our journey to Bandung early morning of 24 Dec coz we dont want to be caught in the traffic. Before we left Jakarta city, we stopped over at the National Park and also a place yang macam Mini Malaysia here. Really.. cant remember the exact name.



Weather was good and we had a smooth journey to Bandung. The first stop was at Tangkuban Perahu. It was my second time here. Nothing has changed since the last time I was here.. about 3 years ago. Took some photos and bought a few souvenirs. Didnt stay long as it drizzles a bit.




AND... the journey from Tangkuban Perahu to Bandung City kills us. Jammed..jammed..jammed!! Fenin makcik.. As soon as we arrived in Bandung City the tour guide brought us to have dinner. At a Sunda restaurant. I'm very bad at remembering names. So there wont be any restaurant names mentioned here.. So boring kaaannn....


NOW... the interesting part is here. SHOPPING!! Even just for a while, because its already late, but we managed to grab a few things from Rumah Mode. Oooooo.. how I love the place. Got myself a few dresses and t-shirts. Best..best..and memang best!


Finished shopping, we checked-in at Nalendra Hotel. And I wanted to warn you guys out there. Dont you ever go to this hotel! We lost a few newly bought stuffs here. The housekeeping staff took the newly bought baju and seluar and the bad things are.. we only realized it when we reach Malaysia. Anyhow, we did make a complaint to the tour agent. Hope that they can do something about it. Bad experience here...



The third day there, we visited a few outlets and also Pasar Baru. Ramainya....manusia! But who cares rite. Shopping means shopping. Ramai ke tak ramai ke, misi harus diteruskan. At Pasar Baru, I got a few pieces of kain ela. This is for my coming Hari Raya preparation. So later tak payahla nak bersesak-sesak kat Jakel and Gulatis lagi. Hehee..



And dekat outlets pulak, I got myself some jeans, shirts and etc. Rizq lah paling untung. Asyik2 barang dia.. asyik2 barang dia lagi! Huhu...




And another thing that I want to warn you. Kalau kat sini you have to be very very careful on the food and drinks. Few of us.. My MIL, SILs, Rizq, all got diarrhea and vomitting. Memang teruk this time. Semua lembik dah... Termasuk lah Rizq. Kesian sungguh budak kecik tu.


So the next day, Monday.. we were on our journey back to Jakarta. Risau jugak kalau Rizq muntah, but alhamdulillah he's asleep all thru the journey. Flight back to KL is at 7:25p.m. So while waiting the tour guide dropped us at Mangga 2. Bayangkan dekat tempat yang besar n sesak tu.. me and hubby has to take turns to carry Rizq for 3 hours! Memang patah pinggang we all. Nasib baik sempat 2 rounds of massage in Bandung. At least bolehlah bertahan sikit..



Petang tu arrived at airport, and lucky that the flight is on time.. Sampai KL dah lewat malam. But my aim is to go Bandung again next year to shop! Jom.. sapa nak ikut????

I Hate This Feeling

I just hate this feeling. The feel of lost in the middle of nowhere.. the feel of insecure.. and the feel of emptiness!

It happened today, when I got the news. A bit shocked but am still ok.

Hope that it won't last that long. I know I wont be getting the answer..EVER! But I'll be strong. Insyaallah....
