Adik's engagement

Adik's engagement was held last Saturday. I tell you it was a grand event, macam kenduri kahwin. Yelah, Adik is the youngest and the last one for us to have such ceremony. Hence, that explains the kebesaran of the majlis.

It was held penuh adat istiadat. Complete with pantun and seloka melayu by the experts in the subject matter.

The hantaran pink vs blue, pink is ourside of course.

The girls love the way their Cik Cu looked. Very pretty they said. I was about to drop some tears looking at Adik, how she has grown up to be a lovely woman. The first time I met her, she was still in her primary school and now ready to be married.

Of course, me and my better half shared her happiness....

Insyallah Adik, Abg Man dgn K Liza doakan Adik bahagia selalu dan jodoh kekal selamanya!

Happy faces!!!

No write up, just happy faces over that weekend before I started having my hectic scheduling, in and out of meetings, working from home and so on so forth....The week where kat opis bersilat, kat rumah bersilat jugak, so enjoy this happy faces yer!
If you notice, my hero is not in the pics kan. Lately nie, he just don't like for his pics to be taken. Tak macho lah tu!

The gifts

After the celebration, it's the gift opening time.

For my mom in law, we got her a pair of Scholl sandals. She has been complaining of her aching legs when she walk, so we thought getting a comfortable sandals will ease the pain. Save the trouble of guessing what size fits her, we brought her to the shoes shop and let her choose which one she loves. And she chose this one.

However, she is not very happy when she get to know how much the price is. She felt it's too expensive but we felt she deserve even more than that!

And for Adik, we got her a pair of watch. Cost about RM150. Adik has always been the one being with us whenever we need extra hands. So, the watch was nothing.

Alhamdulilah, this 2 precious ladies love their gifts. And the best thing is we all had a good time....

The birthday celebration

It has been an annual event for us to go back to Batu Pahat at the end of January to celebrate the birthday of the 2 important women in my life ; my mom in law and Adik. This year is no difference.

We let Adik to choose where we will be having the birthday dinner and she chose Batu Pahat Mall. And the restaurant will be the Chicken Rice Shop.

Of course it was the weekend before CNY, what's a CNY celebration without the lion dance. We got to witness that on the way to the restaurant.

However, the service was very dissapointing. Not only the service was very slow, the food arrived in portions. We were about to finish our rice when the rest of the order arrived. Lambat sungguh!!

There were contest for kids and the cuties took part in this contest and they won 2 pai tees each. More food on the table!

After that, present time....You'll see what we get this 2 gorgeous ladies. It's so cool!!!

Making the goodie bags...

Dah makan kan? So, now let's start working ok....

I have boiled the eggs earlier, they just need to attach this to the bunga telur. We had chosen gree this time, no special reason, just that when we went to Nilai 3 to make purchases, green caught our attention. We also bought packs of potpouri. This is also to be included in the goodie bags.

The cuties, adik and my 2 darling nephews were having fun while doing this. I can hear them laughing away, teasing each other from the kitchen. I love this riuh environment, macam nak kenduri kendara besar lak kan?

My princess and my baby having their own fun. Though they know what the event is for, they did not show any discomfort in preparing this. I hope this kind of behaviour will continue until they grow up. It's scare me if they start fighting with each other and their relationship start to fall apart....

After competing this task, I told them to go to bed. We have to wake up early tomorrow....Banyak keje lagi nie...

Morning with in-laws

Relaxing Monday morning...If only every Monday is like this Monday...YOU WISH!!!

We woke up early, as we wanted to follow my mom and dad in-law to the market and followed by breakfast at Parit Raja. By the way, the market has just been re-located from the main Parit Raja to Parit Daun, just outskirt of Parit Raja.

After that we had breakfast at this normal asam pedas stall in Parit Raja. The menu will also be as usual, asam pedas ikan, ayam goreng and some veges. But, this time around, not as good as our last visits. My better half explanation, " the usual tukang masak MC kot".

Every Monday, there will be Pasar Pagi at Parit Raja. You can find almost anything there, from food to clothing to even pet store. Very convinient to shop here, as you don't need to go anywhere else.

Ahhhh....my ideal Monday morning. When will I have the same Monday morning like this...Again...YOU WISH!!!!!

In Laws In Town - for the Raya thingy

My in-laws and of course Adik came over on Saturday and arrived around 5pm. We, especially the cuties were very excited and have been waiting for them to arrived.

We picked them up at the toll exit and headed home straight after that. Both Abah and Mak were not well but still insisted on coming as they also want to join the kenduri and Raya Open House. I'm so glad they did, the more the merrier. And of course, Adik is always a good help in the kitchen.

We bought dinner at Pasar Malam. My mom in-law is very adventureous about food and love to try new things. We bought quite a variety and they enjoyed it very much.

Makan banyak2 skit dik, banyak keje nak buat nie!

Time to go....

While waiting for Adik's convo to end, we checked out the hotel. We have informed abah and mak to pack up before they left for the convo. Then, we just need to put all the stuff in the car.

We sent my in-laws and adik to Puduraya. Their bus supposed to leave at 2.30pm

Such a short stay, but this is very typical for my in-laws, so far the longest they stayed with us was for 2 nites. It never gone beyond that.

Selamat Jalan, Insyallah, minggu depan kami balik...

Adik - We are proud of you!!!

The day that Adik has been waiting for. The evidence that she has completed one major milestones in her life. The day she is getting her diploma, the thing that she has worked so hard for the past 2 years.

The event which was scheduled to start at 8am, started later than that. But, isn't that so typical. I wonder why these people are not adhering to punctuality!! And I always believe it is not fair for those who make it a point to be punctual have to be penalised and having to wait for those who wish to just take thier own sweet time to arrive. Hello!! What makes your time is more valuable than mine...

Sorry yer, ter emo skit!! Enough about me, this entry is not supposed to be about me.

For those who have been reading my blog, you would know that my better half's family don't actually focused for their children to be highly educated. For them, as long as they can take care of themselves, financially and spiritually, that is more than enough.

Adik would be with the highest education level among the sibblings. Itupun punyerlah susah to motivate her to continue her studies and to convince my in-laws how important education is to the future.

We are all so proud of her, despite all the setback, despite her weakness in English, she still managed to complete what she has started. She is still learning and Insyaallah, once she starts working, she has a dream to pursue her degree, Insyaallah...

The cuties bought this for their Cik Cu, as a way to show how happy they are!!!

Adik, our prayers are with you and look forward to attend another convo in future...

It's normal to be ill

First and foremost, I remembered one thing that my lecturer thought me during my uni years....you are not sick but you are ill. Sick is when you are not healthy up there i.e. The brain part. Ill is when you are having flu, fever and so on....that should cover the heading

Yup, I'm ill. Have been having fever for the past one week but due to other commitment be it work or personal, I decided to put it on hold. But on Monday, dah tak boleh tahan, so was given 2 days leave to rest.

My in-laws are here in KL to attend adik convocation. So, I got the privileged to stay and recuperate at a 5 star hotel in KL.

To my better half, thanks for "pujuking" me. And thanks for knowing how ridicilous you were on Monday. and thanks for apologising when you know you need to. And thanks for pampering me yesterday.
I love you with all my heart, though it's sweet for you to be jealous, let's not take it to the extreme next time yeah!

Will be updating more stories and more pics later. Still high on medication.

Adik dah balik kampung

Do you remember adik?

She has completed her studies and has gone back to kampung for good. My in-laws were here last Saturday to pick her up with all of her belongings.

Adik used to live with her collegemate at Shah Alam and the cuties love to climb adelah this tebing...they will surely miss that...

We also had this farewell lunch at Kg Pandan Fish Head Curry.

Actually, sedih adik not here anymore. She has been very helpful and a good sister.

She has yet to decide on what to do next so .....let see what will be her choices .....And pray that she will make the right one

The dinner with the sister

Received this sms on Sunday afternoon.




"Ada plan apa2 tak malam nie?"
Our reply "Tak tahu lagik, kenapa?"
"Adik lapo mcd ler, hu hu hu"
Our reply "Malam nanti kitaorg datang"

Adik is in between my baby and my princess.

That was the sms sent my sista in law, Adik. She is so manja with us, perhaps because she is the youngest. And I have this tendency to pamper her, which my better half not so keen off. I guess it's because I can always rely on her when I need support, like taking care of the cuties when I need to be elsewhere. The cuties, by the way are also attached to her. For the big event end of this month she will be the official baby sitter. We plan to stay overnite at the hotel and have booked 2 rooms for that. My only wish is for her to further her study as high as possible since in my better half family, education is not something that they stressed on. She will be completing her Diploma by end of this year and I am encouraging her to pursue to Degree.

Adik, akak sentiasa doakan adik berjaya dunia akhirat. And trust me when I say, education is very important!

And yes, we did take her to McD that nite to satisfy her cravings!
