Langkawi trip: Day 1

How did you spend your holiday last week?? having five consecutive days off from work, we went up north.... To the legendary island, pulau langkawi... set out from my sister's at bukit sentosa at 1 a.m, last wed morning, we arrived at Kuala perlis just in time for our subuh pray....Performed our subuh pray there at masjid terapung, kuala perlis (a nice and beautiful mosque, was told that the mosque was just recently completed, early this year)...

parked our car in front of Hj Abdul ghani's restaurant and had our breakfast there.....  We boarded the second ferry to langkawi island from Kuala perlis ferry terminal... due to the major upgraded work at the terminal, the terminal looked a bit messy but for future good :)...

 

Arrived at langkawi 45 minutes later, around 9.30 a.m.....  more travel time needed  if you boarded the ferry from Kuala Kedah.... my hubby already aranged for our transportation there - rented a proton wira for RM110 for the rest of our trip here... a good bargain.....

 

 

i already booked our accomodation at Kuah two weeks beforehand.... rented an apartment with three rooms... so we stayed at seaview apartment for RM350 for 3 days and 2 nights... a comfy apartment and value for money too!!!! will recommend for anybody with large family...

 not wasting our precious time in langkawi, we set our foot at the famous idaman suri and haji ismail group... bought some souvenirs for friends and family and of course, yourself....

 

after some shopping, it was time for lunch... filled our stomach at Pak AQ nasi campur.... then, we straight headed to langawi Geopark Centre to ride on the famous oriental village cable car....it was hair-rising experience.....my father promised not to have another ride again on that gondola...huhu... me and hubby had the chance to try on the horse-riding there....

after such a frightening but memorable experience on the cable car, on our way back, we stopped at pantai kok to try out the local delicacies there.....

We headed back to the apartment, had some rest.... later in the evening, we went to Dataran lang cafe to have our dinner.. the food was quite pricey there and we went for some shopping at the nearby duty free shops....

What happened on my 2nd day trip in langkawi?? stay tune for more stories......:) thanks for reading..

Bye bye Compaq, welcome Acer

As i mentioned before, i sent my lappy for some servicing... but something bad happened...
the technician said my lappy was under some serious damage...maybe the motherboard got some serious problem...

i was seriously sad, first, as this is the end-of-the year where i really need my lappy to complete all those schoolwork before year-end.... second, i would have to bid goodbye to my blog for sometime... the technician said it would take around 3 weeks in order to get it repaired... and it is quite costly ....

Thinking deep and hard, i thought of buying a new one instead of getting it repaired..... btw, my lappy was more than 3 years old, reaching its fourth.....

so, i bought a brand- new lappy... and, yes, i bought the one with affordable price with all the basic things needed to ensure the lappy runs within its optimum capacity... no cutting-edge technology things.... u know, it is not include in my budget this month..hehehh....

will be missing u...:)

my new blogging machine :)

that's all.... what say u???

Milo and McD...

Reminisced my childhood days, when a small green lorry entered your school compound, the school will be overwhelmed with joy....
and that was exactly the situation when that mini lorry of Milo came to my school last week.... to them (and the teachers too!!) it was like a blessing.... being a rural school, we seldom get that kind of treatment... if we are lucky, once a year is a blessing..... can you imagine that???when the teacher made the announcement of getting pupils to line up, there was a roar of shouts from all over the school...
time to quench your thirst dear pupils..and teachers too!!!!

And me n family had a dinner at McD last monday... really wanted to try the newly-introduced samurai burger....and it was a good choice...i really love it...gonna have it again.... with the meaty flavour plus the delicious teriyaki sauce... maybe that is  the best burger from McD so far.... oopss.. its my own opinion..... others may think differently..... really suited my tastebuds.... yummy!!!

the samurai burger.....

 that's all for now...... i'm using a friend's lappy as my lappy was sent for some servicing....
time for some English classes now!!! Looking forward for your comments!!!!

Visiting Wan

Abu Hurairah {may Allah be pleased with him} (R) reported that the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h. said: Every Muslim has five rights on other Muslims; returning his salutation, visiting the sick, following funerals, accepting invitations and blessing the sneezers.

Yes, visiting the sick is one of them ......  I took an emergency leave last Friday... got a call from my parents informing that my grandfather was hospitalised again!!! This was his second time in two weeks time...so i packed a few things, waiting for my parents to pick us up and off we head to HospitaL Raja Perempuan Bainun, Ipoh....

Thinking about my grandfather, i was not really close to him.....My grandmother passed away around 3 years already.... My Grandpa, Wan stays with my stepgrandmother...yes, i have a stepgrandmother since i can remember.... that is one of the reasons that i am not really that close to Wan...whatever it is, he is still my Wan.... 

We arrived at the hospital just in time for the visiting hours... luckily the hospital allows the children to enter, if not, me n hubby have to take turns to look after my two children....

 Seeing him lying helplessly on bed, all wrinkled..and tube all over his hand, i quietly prayed for his speedy recovery.... Almost reaching 80, i think he is quite strong as a person....even in that health condition, praying at mosque is a must (for now, he has to pray on the hospital bed for sometime, i guess)... He was diagnosed with some bleeding in his abdomen...he had to endure a painful process in diagnosing his condition.... he was too old for that....

Around 2 p.m, we had to bid goodbye and we went straight home..... What a tiring day...
It is all worthwhile for the sake of someone you love!!!


Wan,

My heart and prayers
go out to U
I'll pray with all my heart
you get better soon.
I hope for the best.

well, dear readers......just a piece of my stories for you...... hope you are having fun reading it!!!!

Oh, my children!

“Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you've done will have mattered as much."

At time like this, looking at those two faces whom I love dearly sleeping soundly,  my motherhood emotion was touched..... Am i capable to nurture my children to face everything and anything in the future???

Franklin Roosevelt once said we may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future,,,indeed its true... so parents, lets prepare our children with strong foundation in Islam...InsyaAllah, they will survive in the future....

Just came back from my FIL's house yesterday.....just around thirty plus kilometres from where we are staying right now..... and we have diapers models in da house!!!!! Tadaaa..............

Qalesya n uzair wit their cousin, alif (in the middle)... :)

Guess its time for some good sleep...gud nite  readers!!
Till then.....

SKS1 : Family Day

Have been very busy lately....getting ready for the coming examination, school sports day etc.....  tried my best to spend time for my blog..:) How i miss reading some of your blogs......

Amidst all the busyness , my school organized a family day at Tiara Beach Resort, Teluk kemang, P.D last Saturday.My mother and father tagged along.. I bet many of you have the experience of staying here... We took off in a convoy of merely 10 cars, our first stop was Ulu Bendul waterfall.. just to get some refreshment before having lunch at our former headmistress, Puan Jamilah's. Puan Jamilah invited us over to her house for lunch before going  to P.D.... well, never say no to good things!!.Tq Puan for such a delicious meal.....

Around 2 p.m, we continued our journey to PD..arrived there around 3, we directly checked in, and had a short nap.Tiara got quite a good waterpark... but for me, they did not do a good job in maintenance especially Block C (where we are staying)..it kinda looks old to me....... Then, water activity time...... my daughter was so excited to go into the water....

Kids can never feel boring when it comes to play ... 

 

 

 

At night, we had a small dinner....

We finished around 10.30 p.m..
Woke up for our subuh prayer .. then immediately went for breakfast..... then we made some time for pool activity.. just to cheer up my kids... before checking out...

After checking out, we stopped at Teluk Kemang..... there was a carnival there...shopped some souvenirs and off we went to Giant Senawang....  Arrived home safely around 5 p.m.

Good to have some fun activities over the weekend... Unwind from work....
What's next??
