the last day of school holiday

this holiday plan berlaku spontaneously...masa tuh abah n aunty datang rumah...and we talked about emilda yang bakal balik bercuti dari study at egypt and school holiday...tetiba aunty kata jom pegi langkawi? and started from there aunty tolong survey everything including hotel, flight, car rental, activity, etc. senang jalan kali nih takyah pening2 kepala nak survey and decide...hehehe

so memandangkan tarikh lain semua tak free as cikgu pun ada few kelas tambahan to attend, we went on 13th june and came back on 15th june...after survey the parking rates at KLIA2, we decide that cikgu and abah will send the rest of us to KLIA2, both will drive to abah's house at kota serimas (just 15 minutes away) and rent a cab to go back to KLIA2...kena caj dalam rm60...oklaa compared to parking fees that would reach up to 120++ ercar...and we have 2 car!! while waiting for them, we settle the check in and go breakfast...i think KLIA2 is much better than KLIA simply becoz they only have 2 level...cantik, luas and banyak kedai...tempat makan pun banyak yang best...nursing room pun banyak and nearby...even at the boarding area pun ada banyak kedai...puaslaa mikhail berlari kesana sini...xpe, kita bagi dia penat...kang boleh tido...we depart at 12.45pm and reach langkawi at 1.45pm...jom tengok some pictures...

so hard to take picture with mikhail...nak berlari je kejenyer

photobomb sket :P

apa2 hal isi "minyak" dulu

its our 2nd flying experience..and the 1st for ariana n mikhail...so please excuse our jakunness

ariana, are you happy? "yup...yana naik eoplane macam nenek kan mummy?" she's referring to their umrah trip...plan to make mikhail tired and sleep successful, yeayyy!!!

Alhamdulillah, dah sampai...that handsome man at my back is my abah :)

why yang? still feeling dizzy ker?

while waiting for our luggage

8 orang jalan2 makan angin. we rent NazaRia. ngam2 laa as our luggage pun banyak. then we drive area pekan kuah to look for lunch...not much being offered there...fast food ada tapi bosanlaa makan fastfood kan...at last we found 1 kedai makan tepi jalan that serve lauk2 kampung. sedap lauk2 nyer...despite makan bawah bumbung zink yang panas, habis licin semua...tgh lapar, memang tak toleh kiri kanan...settled then off we go to check in to the hotel which is just 5 minutes away...

we stayed here for 3d2n. this view is from the pool...cantik kan? macam castle lama2

the "enchanted" lobby

macam disneyland pun ada

the view from our room. sorry, gambar bilik takde...masuk2 jer terus serbu katil...settled the kids then turun pegi pool...

and we have fun!!

for now selagi terdaya, mummy will carry you on my back...nanti bila 1 day mummy dah tak larat, u all belanja mummy pegi spa ok...

weeee

mikhail had a good time too...tapi dia lebih suka berlari keliling pool and naik turun tangga than playing in the pool...so seorang kena standby kat luar pool...

manja mummy

that night we went out to look for seafood...found 1 near the hotel...sayang tak banyak choice...yang ada cuma ikan siakap, jenahak and udang...ketam, sotong kepah apa semua takde stok katanya...tapi oklaa dia masak, sorry malam takde gambar...they all ate while i bf mikhail in d car...memula ingat dia nak tido, skali dalam keta elok jer main highbeam, wiper, hon..isyh3

the next morning had buffet breakfast at the hotel...the food spread tak banyak...like that morning ada congee and the condiments, nasi goreng, toast, omelette, sausage, pancakes and cereal. hot coffee and tea, apple and orange juice...tu jer...xtaula bape aunty bayar for the additional 2 breakfast tu...

walaupun tak banyak choice, we ear sekenyang2nya...much fuel up energy...so many places to go that day...kali nih rasa senang nak berjalan sebab aunty dah plan schedule siap timing pukul berapa for an activity...hehehe...so, kita ikut and bayar jer...and eventho this is not my 1st time coming to langkawi, but the places we went mmg 1st time sampai...we went to oriental village...kat dalam tuh ada banyak kedai souvenir, ada kandang (ke sangkar?) arnab, ada extreme sports activity, ada restaurant, ada some show, ada 6D short movie yg kerusi audience goyang2 ikut jalan cerita tuh, ada lake boleh paddle sampan and of cos cable car!! 

just rm10 for mykad holder...takuttt...

mikhail has a slight fever pulak pagi tuh...so the whole day crancky...nak berdukung jer and wants mummy's milk only...makan apa semua dia tolak o_O

ok, ngam2 1 cable car...6 + 2

this cable car wont stop...kena cepat2 masuk while it slowdown...hoih...dahla mendukung budak, cuak kejap tau...tapi sebenarnya takde apa pun...sajer panic

masa nak naik, im facing forward...

going up!!

makin sayup...

us :)

them (:

jom selfie jap

there are 2 level menara tinjauan...this is the 1st level...itu pun rasa macam dah jauh sangat...masa nih cloud macam mendung and angin kuat + sejuk...orang paranoid, cepat2 amik gambar and ajak turun...2nd level tu pun kitorang tak turun...duk jer dalam cable car tuh tunduk pandang lantai...mmg cuaca macam nak hujan...kang cable car stop tgh jalan kang macamana? haa...

sian dia tak sihat eh...mummy pulak tak bawak ubat...tapi temp dia around 37.5-37.7 gitu jer...

masa turun im facing backward...skali toleh belakang punyalaa junam...pastu time nak amik gambar nih tetiba lalu tiang and dia gegar sikitlaa...hence, the face...hehehe

after that we went for the 6D movie...anak2 tinggal dengan babah and grandpa yer...

then aunty book bendalah nih (lupa apa nama ntah) for emilda and emir, and i went to the convenient store to buy panadol syrup for mikhail...

bergambar jelaa...belum cukup umur nak naik yer...

grandpa ngan granny kemain posing

im in no mood to smile today -_-

peace yo

after that we head to pantai chenang melalui jalan airport...ada lori2 jual laksa, nasi ayam, rojak, so lunch kat situ jer...sampai chenang it was scorching hot...but since we dont wanna stay dawn, bantai main gak...aunty book jetski rm80 for halfhour and bananaboat rm120 for a ride (doesn't matter how many people on it) i just accompany yana play on the beach, and try the bananaboat...my 1st time...syiok!!! (lagi syiok sebab orang belanja) 

abah dah ready nak naik bananaboat

yana excited playing with the waves at the beach...

cranky boy nak melekap jer...

after isyak, we went out to search for pasar malam pekan kuah...asked the receptionist, she said "dia dekat pekan, yang seghabut tu dia laa" (please read with kedah slang) hahaha...membantu sangat description dia...pasar malam mana tak serabut dik oi...so we just pusing2 n jumpa...bought few local food...nothing to shout about...makanan pasar malam KL lagi best kot...but sebab memang dah penat sangat, we just settle with anything as long kenyang...hihihi...

the next day, we jump into the pool again for the last time before checking out from the hotel...only cikgu, yana and emir while the mummies start packing...after check out, we went to Haji Ismail Group Mall...now they even got HIG Hotel tau...selesalaa compared to kedai kecik2 kat pekan kuah tuh...1 stop centre, even ada surau, few kedai makan and boutique...

before coming to langkawi konon dah cakap taknak beli coklat coz it took a year for us to finish what we bought from the previous visit...skali haa kau...semua main campak masuk troli...we even bought a kettle and cake plate and a new luggage to keep the things...tengok pinggan, cawan comel2nyer...rasa macam nak borong jer tapi memandangkan dalam kabin kang diorang main campak2 kang jahanam plak terus matikan niat jelaa...yg lain nih memang kena hand carrylaa...oh, lupa nak bgtau our hot water flusk pecah masa dapat balik beg when we arrive earlier...

after return the rental car at 4.30pm, we just stay at the airport...yana n mikhail pun tido...hoping that they will continue to sleep until we landed...

nahhh...mana nak tido kalau dah riuh2 kan...tukarkan baju diorang to long sleeve shirt...kali nih mummy plak nak menikmati pemandangan...hehehe

and this boy refuse to be buckled to me...habis ditendang2 seat depan...then i let him be...just peluk kuat2 pinggang dia...Alhamdulillah selamat pulang KL on 7pm...gedebak gedebuk kul 10pm sampai rumah...it was tired, but it was fun...

till we come again, Langkawi

to the max

olo3...anak maklong nih...dah pandai tengok kamera eh...harini masuk keje terkejut tengok lebih seploh orang takde...tingal 3-4 orang jer...bolehla plak serentak cuti? sebbaikla keje pun tgh tak banyak...badan penat sangat nih...we spent the last 4 days since thursday kat kampung cikgu...melake laa mana lagi kan...initially we plan for AT LEAST a day for ourselves...nakla jalan2 kat town ker, pegi zoo melaka ke, pegi shopping ker, apa2laa but i nih overconfident...macam tak kenal husband sendiri...of cos aktiviti balik kampung dipenuhkan dengan makan, makan dan makan...kalau nak keluar pun takde can...mesti ibu tanya, eh taknak makan dulu ker? bila dah lunch...rehat jap...kang nak keluar tanya lagi, eh minum petang dululaa...hahaha...

ariana bila balik kampung dialah ketua walaupun dalam group bermain dia yang paling kecik...dah tak dengar dah apa kita cakap...celik jer mata terus nak main kat laman, makan taknak, susu taknak, nak main beskal jer...bila bergaduh barula nangis2 datang ngadu...mikhail tak reti lagi nak main sama2...kalau sama2 sepahkan mainan haa dia boleh join...rumah atok nenek penuh ngan khazanah...furniture pun boleh tahan...kat tepi dinding siap ada tangga pusing yang cerun tuh...aku sendiri dah bertahun tak panjat...gayat!!! mikhail nih kejap2 memanjat, tau2 dia dah ada atas kabinet...kejap kang nak naik tangga...berkuntau rumah atok kena buat penghadang tarik kerusi sana sini...apa nak buat, cucu sesekali balik...hehehe

oh, we manage to cut mikhail's hair...but of cos tak sempurna...ni 1st time bawak dia potong rambut kat kedai...selalunya cikgu jer yang trim...tapi memandangkan mesin trimming pun dah rosak, n rambut dia dah tebal, bawaklaa ke kedai nyonya...dudukkan dia atas kerusi dia bangun...sambil berdiri nyonya tuh nak potongla rambut dia...but the moment the machine reach his hair terus dia tepis2...pastu nangis2...cikgu had to carry him sambil aku pegang hp bukak kartun...memula ok but he was too distracted dengan rambut yang jatuh kat leher-gatal he keep on wiggling...pastu cikgu try duduk pulak...pun tak dapat...bukanlaa tak dapat potong langsung tapi nak bagi kemas tuh tidaklaa...laju2 nyonya tuh buat pun takleh habiskan...sempatla nipiskan belakang n tepi telinga...dia pass kat kawan dia...tak sanmggup agaknya nak handle...hehehe...kwn nyonya dapat trim sikit2 belah atas ngan gunting n then we stop...mikhail dah tak tahan gatal...sapu2 bedak, bayar then balik...lepas mandi, susu pastu terus tertido hero...masa tulaa cikgu trim sikit lagi ngan gunting...kalau dari belakang nampaklaa tobek2 sikit...kalau dari depan ok, stil hensem...hihihi...

then masa kat kampung tokcik call, kata tv dah meletup...langsung takde gambar...well, about time pun sebenarnya...tv tuh dah 22 tahun pun...sebelum nih dah pernah offer tv extra kat rumah tuh untuk tokcik pakai, but she insist kata nanti dulu...tunggu belang2 jadi all black baru dia bgtau...on sunday tuh adik2 ipar plak nak pegi melaka sentral nak carik tudung raya...well, yours truly kalau dengar perkataan shopping jer terus terbeliak mata..cepat2 pack barang, kemas bilik, mandi n siapkan anak2 untuk ditinggalkan...mikhail plak merengek jer sebab dah time dia nak menyusu...ingat nak bawak mikhail jer...skali ariana berlari masuk keta siap2...big mistake...ramai sangat manusia kat melaka sentral...i had to carry mikhail kalau tak dia berlari laju tak toleh2 dah...isyh, bahaya...with so many scary news on media...luckily ariana was cooperative...whenever mikhail start to run, i will call ariana to run with me...pegang tangan sama2 and kejar!!! i think i lost 2 kg within an hour there...penat n panas, sampai rumah ibu terus salam2 nak gerak balik kl...masa tuh dah pukul 12++...

alang2 nak singgah rumah amik tv, singgah rumah zana ajak dia bawak baby jumpa tokcik skali...tokcik pun tak jumpa baby lagi since she cannot climb stairs rumah zana...we tapau burger king n gilir2 makan dalam keta...sampai rumah tokcik dah pukul 4pm...kebetulan family tok alang pun ada...meriah sikitlaa rumah tokcik harituh...sempatlaa minum petang n setup the tv...aku mandikan baby, and bersiap2 nak balik kl...baby daddy dah pesan jangan balik maghrib...baik boss, hehehe...sampai rumah sendiri ngam2 maghrib, setel laundry, masak nasi n hidangla lauk2 yang ibu tapaukan...then cikgu cakap kawan dia from kelantan wanna come over the next day and stay overnight...apalagi, bersilatlaa kemas guest room, alih kotak2, pasang cadar baru, kemas dapur semua coz they'll arrive when im not at home...haruslaa tunjuk yang wife ini pengemas orangnya...hahaha...itupun pagi tadi bilik sendiri tak berkemas...selimut pun tak sempat lipat...ahh...itu tutup jer pintu, beress...now im sleepy and a bit tired sebab boleh pulak pagi tadi ceri beri on the way datang keje...jenuhlaa make a few stop kat toilet lrt...pheww...ni bukan salah lauk ibu...tapi salah lauk sendiri yang simpan seminggu dalam fridge and not properly heat up...padan muka...sebbaik aku sorang jer yang makan...now dah penat to the max...kalaulaa tak ramai yang cuti harini, harus aku amik mc jer tadi...huhuhu

jom happykan tokcik

Assalamualaikum, too much story to tell...tak tau nak mula yang mana dulu...i think its easier for me to point it down :)

you know i have been busy since few months ago...so on wesak day i thought of sending my kain to tailor...but she said she cannot accept any tempahan anymore...huwaaa....there goes my baju raya...konon this year punya theme is baby blue...dah beli kain pun...sobs...nampaknya beli siap jelaa...n usually bila beli siap nih kaler yang kita nak tulaa yang susah nak jumpa yang berkenan di hati...nak main sauk jer kang menyesal di kemudian hari like 2 years ago when i was in confinement during puasa...beli siap pastu hampa...last2 sedekah orang jer baju tuh...the other 2 kain tuh macam sama jer kaler dia kan...i guess kalau dah taste itu, memang tak lari jauhlaa...

*********************************************************************************

Alhamdulillah, setel bayar fidyah...kelmarin pegi terus pejabat PPZ kat wangsa maju...update particular skali....sikit jer rupanya nilai sehari...dalam rm1.80 jer...aku ingat dalam 5-6 hengget...aku bayar jer lebih takut ada terhutang apa2 lagi...bak kata arwah onyang...buat apa2 biar lebih, jangan kurang...actually dia cakap tuh masa aku pilih2 bawang masuk bakul...kejap2 tanya orang tuh dah cukup ke sekilo? tapi pesanan dia tuh bolehla apply dalam kehidupan seharian, yang mana sesuaila...jangan ko gi amik nasi berbukit2 pastu tak habis...tu dah membazir pulak o_O

now tinggal nak mengganti puasa jer lagi dalam 14 hari...last week 2 hari tak dapat puasa sampai petang sebab muntah2, pening and demam...moga sempat aku habiskan mengganti...Ya Allah, permudahkan urusanku menjalani ibadahku...

*********************************************************************************

last 2 weeks kitorang pegi rumah tokcik...installkan astro Njoi untuk dia...senang, bulan2 dah takyah pening...lagipun amik astro more to nak gambar cantik jer...tak kenal tokcik? she was my guardian during my school years...duduk ngan tokcik, zana n arwah onyang kat bandar baru sentul...once or twice a month baik rumah mak on weekend...jumpa abah when he came by...gitulaa for nearly 12 years for me and 15 for zana...banyak jasa tokcik dan onyang pada kitorang dua beradik...jaga masa sakit dan sihat, besarkan, didik, hantar ngaji, "paksa" tengok Forum Perdana Ehwal Islam...hahaha...masa dulu terasa macam paksalaa...bebudak kan, mana suka tengok program2 gitu...bila dah besar nih bersyukur sangat didedahkan dengan ilmu agama walaupun kitorang tak pegi sekolah agama kain hijau merah...

ralat sebab tak sempat nak balas jasa arwah onyang...onyang meninggal masa aku tengah praktikal :( now that i'm working and earn more than my needs, memang dah niat nak senangkan tokcik...im lucky to have cikgu as my husband coz he never complaints or argue why banyak sangat cabang nak kena please nih...hihihi...he understands me well that beside my own parents, i have few other person that i need to take care of...so, ahad tuh kitorang balik bawak tokcik...biar dia amik angin jalan2 rumah kitorang...duduk sana pun bukan ada sapa2...hantar dia ke rumah my kazen kat selayang...tido sana seminggu then tido rumah kitorang pulak seminggu...niat asal dia ikut kitorang balik sebab nak tgk baby zana tapi dia tak larat naik tangga walau setingkat...so, that one kena postponela...
