thank you Along!

Last Sunday I met my uni-friend (uitm samarahan) which was holidaying in KK. It was a planned meeting and nasib the hubby sanggup jaga anaks (thanks hubby!). It was a short meeting but as long as dapat jumpa pun kira ok suda bah.

I brought her to Signal Hill to have a chit-chat and tengok panorama KK di waktu malam. Ramai juga orang pigi sana lepaks. We were there until 930pm and still ramai orang lepaks at Signal Hill. After habis bercerita (cerita nda pandai habis tapi it's getting late oready, so we have to make a move), I sent Along back to her homestay at Petagas. 

It's so good to talk to a friend that is 'one head' with you. Walaupun lama nda jumpa, but when jumpa macam-macam cerita bule cerita (if u know what i meant) ehehehe... "Along, i miss u oready!"

thank you so much for the long awaited ole-ole..hehe..nda sia-sia saya tunggu..love love love it so much! yeshh, collection (from Korea) has been added!

Busy As Bee

Since end of the year 2014 until now, I've been busy with the workloads. I have no time to blog often (in the office.. haha!). The company that I handled haven't been audit for like ages, so when the 'love letter' from LHDN sampai baru la kelam-kabut mo hantar docs to auditor (rolled eyes). Moreover, lots of the docs were missing and some needed to search on another company files. Nasib same office, if not menangis la mau pigi HQ lagi cari docs (lagi rolled eyes). Mana lagi mau layan queries from the auditor. Huh! 

I've missed blogging and sharing my daily story here such as updates about my babies development, what did I do during christmas & new year, my new year resolution (if any), my best friend wedding, first gathering in 2015.. Wah, macam banyak cerita...hehe..

Since today is Thursday Throwback let's view my best friend pics wedding back in Dec'14. I brought the whole family to my best friend wedding at Kota Marudu. I brought my mum with us. Brought her jalan-jalan di samping to jaga Thia. teehee. 

I just love their simple wedding celebration. The decoration was simple yet elegant. The food was marvelous especially bosou sayur (i don't know the english name for this local delicacies) Ahahaha.. I don't eat bosou at all but this bosou was an exception. It taste really good. 

Mandak, if you read this, "I wish you all the best in your marriage & welcome to bini-bini club ^__^ ". Hope my little Thia will get friend soon (wink wink)! 

And this photo was shared by my BFF. Love it so much! My little Elnathan Jaden & with her Ethanael Cayden then about 1 & 3 years old baby.

Fuh! What a throwback updates.. ahahaha... I really love InstaMag apps.

p/s: Bilang busy as bee...... Take 5 dulu ba kan.. takkan serius :)

excited!

yeah, i'm so excited to meet my old friends tomorrow. can't wait! 

a mini reunion for team mami-mami ^__^

*** just the three of us ***

i can't hardly wait!

for my ole-ole *smiling ear to ear*

My friend just came back from her Taiwan trip. I belum minta ole-ole pun tapi she know already I will want a souvenir from her.. Miahahahaha.. Best kan dapat friend like this??? I got jealous seeing all her photos shared thru FB. Another ole-ole is from my uni friend Europe trip in early this month. Ini lagi la bikin nangis tengo all the beautiful pictures shared thru her FB. She's been to 19 countries so far (haha..FB stalker). Thumbs up to her! 

I missed to travel. Travel with my best friends. Travel in a group. Travel with my darling hubby. The last time I get out of this country was with my old buddies (my partner-in-crime) to Vietnam. It was a great experience since I never been a backpacker traveler. Selalunya mesti ikut tour. And that was in 2012 **sigh**

Cuti-cuti Sabah pun teda. Huh! Rindu mo buat road trip with the Hubby. But this time must bring the babies. Untuk kasi lagi havoc itu trip! Hehe.....  

blessed day!

Once again we had a small family (and friends) gathering on Saturday to celebrate the thanksgiving for blessing of marriage of my cousin at his house. Unfortunately, we can't make it to the church to witnessed their marriage blessing. Susah bah kalau bawa budaks kecil ni.. So, we just went to his house and joined the blessing prayer and after that makan-makan time.. Happy hour! The food was yummy but most important food was the CAKE! Wow..yummee and it was a homemade cake by Helen, the cousin sister-in-law. 

And at night pula,  me and the babies went to my best friend (Koyo) daughter- Chubby's 6th birthday party at her house. Makan lagi (macamna la mau diet ni..hmmm)! It was so tiring to take care both of my babies alone. My hubby went to play football - friendly match that night. Jauh lagi tu di Sepanggar.. Uwaaah... Nasib my baby Thia not fussy at all. She's okay with all of them when they dukung her. Thank God! I can fed Jaden and makan without any worry.. Hehe.. Tapi kena makan dengan laju juga la.. Kesian juga dorang dukung lama-lama si Thia. Lebih kurang jam 10 lebih baru my hubby sampai and let him eat first, chit chat with friends sekejap pastu baru we went back home. Gosh! So tired. Arrived home approx 11pm.. Huhu.. Didn't manage to snap the Frozen Theme birthday cake (so nice deco oh tu kek!). Nanti la tunggu sharing from de watsapp.. Layan gambar cupcakes saja la dulu..

p/s: Kesimpulan : On Saturday we no need to masak at home......blissful!!! Cuti dari memasak ^_____^

thanks for everything!

Got this free sample for New Born from Drypers Baby Club. Unfortunately that not the size that i requested for. I requested to try for the Drypantz XL for my baby Jaden. But i think they've messed up..hihi..See the name on the address? How come my name change to chinese name? miahahaha...So, I gave the sample to my sister for her baby Oden.

Yahuu...! Some snacks and Taiwan coffee as Ole-Ole given by hubby's Boss who went to Taiwan recently. Sikit-sikit pun ok la. Asal ada kan. Got sunglasses also, Ripcurl brand yo! Thanks to hubby's Boss ^__^. Can't wait for my Ole-Ole from my friend currently in  Taiwan for cuti-cuti. Waduh, jeles I tau..

Yeah! I just received these lovely dresses for Thia from my best friend, Mary today. Even tough it was a belated gifts but I do appreciate it (very much!). A brief meet up with her and her lovely kids during lunch time and i'm so happy to see them.

On the other hand, my babies membesar dengan sangat cepat! I've missed them when they were still months young..rindu with their baby's scent. Adakah begitu? teehee 

 See... Thia pun pandai suda main Ukelele. Kalah saya oh! Haha...

p/s: Tomorrow is public holiday (Awal Muharram). Happy Holiday my dear friends!!

Sneak peek : Vietnam

oh hello peeps! 

i should write about my vietnam trip with my partners-in-crime (in september 2012). it was a memorable trip for me as a first timer no-tour guided trip..err, we do use an agent due to insufficient time to explore all the places by ourselves. so, it's a half own adventure half tour guided. we manage to visit the famous sa pa and also ha long bay when in vietnam. this trip were organised about one year before we fly to vietnam. why vietnam? because each of us never went to this country. yes, there are three of us. all ladies trip! i'm so excited to write about and showed-off the beauty of vietnam.

ok, let's enjoyed few random pictures of vietnam before i proceed with my travelogue. 

AROUND HANOI CITY 

can u spot the tiger? hehe

the famous & delicious vietnam coffee!

the famous street food in the city - pho

common sight in hanoi city

busy street!

the street is full of children toys to celebrate the children's day

i'm tempted to buy one for my jaden but i think banyak juga soft toys di kk kana jual bah  ;) so cancelled buying those cute toys.

having lunch besides fake bamboos, i guess she's the owner of the bamboos.

our snack food. another street food. delicious and healthy i might say coz makan sayur saja kan...but i don't dare to guarantee the cleanliness of the street food. but, luckily we all don't have any problem with the food we ate during traveling.

taken during jakarta trip in 2010

sa mo tulis story about our 26 years (i think la) of friendship.

here we goes......

in the 80's - we grew up together in the same village.
i'm not sure when is our first meet. did u remember? hehe
our favourite past time are 'mansau-ansau', masuk hutan, beauty contest, 
play cook with daun-daun hutan. paling sa ingat daun yang kana jadi sotong..miahahaha..
lagi satu, paling manang - korek lubang di tanah kasi jadi congkak dan batu2 kici jadi buah congkak..
macamna la bule tepikir buat gitu dulu kan. haha!
i still remember i had been punished by my dad coz staying at your place til evening.
it was a nightmare - i've been tied to a tree because of that.
sungguh la jajal time budak-budak.

in the beginning of 90's - we become best friend. i miss this moments!
everyday we hang together. eh, ya ka? we were also schoolmate then.
even though we are in the same village we always contacting each other by phone.
ada saja gossip mau di'digest' ^___^ baru jumpa masa tengahari, 
malam on the phone suda kita..desshh..

when i transferred to a school in labuan in 1995, our friendship become more stronger.
'absence makes the heart grow fonder' 
no matter how far we are, we still keep in touch! 

in the late 90's, we were then studying in the same uni. sa terlambat sikit masuk la.. 
see, we were destined to be best friend forever..kunun...
we redah ups and downs of uni life ;)
 illegally pulang kampung and whats not..haha..
i think during this years we begin to lepaks at kfc inanam kan?? 
story-mory sampai nda ingat dunia....

in 2001, i left sabah again to pursue my degree study in sarawak.
but that also didn't make our friendship drifted away.
our friendship continues even though i'm meeting new friends.
letters and telephone were our mode of contact :))

wokey la, to cut long story...
now we are mama-mama suda, i think we are still the best of friend.
i cherished all the moments that we have spent together.. 
deep in my heart i'm thankful to God coz sending me a best friend like you!

on the way to tmn mini indonesia (2010)

I said a Prayer for You Today   I said a prayer for you today

And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although he spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for his loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Amen.

this poem i dedicated especially for you! (if u happen to read this, selami bait2 puisi ini ya ^_^)

Thank You, Friend

Thank you, friend, for all the things

That mean so much to me--

For concern and understanding

You give abundantly.

Thanks for listening with your heart;

For cheering me when I'm blue;

For bringing out the best in me;

And just for being you.

Thanks for in-depth conversation

That stimulates my brain;

For silly times we laugh out loud;

For things I can't explain.

For looking past my flaws and faults;

For all the time you spend;

For all the kind things that you do,

Thank you; thank you, friend.

til then ~ love our 'unsinkable ship'!!! muahhhh!!!
