Cuti CNY kat Melaka

Semalam kami sekeluarga bertolak ke Melaka. Baca facebook Bali, kata highway ke selatan jam gila. Jadi we decided to use the coastal road, via sepang and PD. WORST decision ever. Pagi tu bangun tido dah memang migrane, lalu jalan tu, mabuk dibuatnye. Dah lepas Pd, kita keluar balik masuk Highway. Sampai Melaka macam nak pecah kepala.

Anak2 seronok. Jumpa sepupu mereka. Lepas Solat asar, tak lengah2, terus pergi pool. Ari ni pun celik mata je dah start program mereka. Tadi, ibu2 sempat pegi shopping kat plaza mahkota. Jap lagi nak keluar makan yong tau foo.

Okay, got to go. Nak solat dulu.....

Service Kereta

Ni saya tengah boring tunggu kat "Waiting Room" workshop kereta. Padan dengan muka saya. Semalam Kak Long cuti, Hari Wilayah, saya lupa nak pegi hantar servis. Malam tadi, Shapiee talipon dari Jakarta, tanye samada saya dah servis ke belum. Terpaksalah pegi workshop ari ni dan kena tunggu. Ramai pulak customer ari ni, nak dekat CNY agaknye. Nasib baik ingat cekut notebook ni, bolehlah google2.

Kadang2 kalau tak ramai customer, pekerja workshop ni rajin juga melayan hantar saya balik atau datang rumah ambil kereta. Tapi ni tengah busy ni, bo layan lah. Sebenarnya this workshop is owned by a few malay mechanics and they only specialize in certain cars. Their service is very good and all their workers are also young malay mechanics. Highly professional and admirable.

Kalau ramai lagi pengusaha melayu seperti mereka, tentu bangsa melayu lebih berdaya maju. Selama kami berurusan dengan mereka, belum pernah lagi nampak tempat ni lengang. Workshopnya bersih dan teratur. Bilik saya menunggu ni pun berhawa dingin, bersih dan lengkap dgn water dispenser, TV berbagai majalah dan akhbar.

Tapi, harap2 kejap lagi siap lah kereta saya. Oo yes, saya mintak cuci sekali. Kejap saya intai...emm tengah cuci tu. Bagus bagus... Aiman ada latihan sukan jap lagi. Nak kena antar gi sekolah.

Hot hot Chicken $^!#

Guess what??!!! I'M STILL ALIVE!!!. Alive and kicking....Okay, I know I have not been posting anything for the past 3 months, that is why I think a change of name to this blog is appropriate. I think the title to this post is more suited. Direct translation to "Hangat hangat tahi ayam".

When I started the blog, of course I have every intention to be updating my fellow friends and family to all the 'going-ons' around me, however things don't go according to plan. Time I do have, but there are other reasons why I could not spare my time for this.

That being said, I do have a lot happening between then and now. Well, for starters, my family and I spent a week in Gold Coast, Australia, end of November. We rented a 4 bedroom bungalow and rented a van. It was one of the best holidays we had. The kids had a blast at the theme parks while we adults went for a leisure drive or check out the shopping malls or farmers market. We also took a day to drive up to Brisbane. One thing that I was so attracted to is their houses built on the edges of the many lakes or what they term as waters. It is like a network of waterways and all those houses has a small jetty where they parked their boats. Its really lovely...

In December, I had the chance to help Pati with her hantaran for Along's wedding. However I couldn't make it to the wedding. Sorry Pati. Hope I can come for future weddings, probably Ana's. Then the next week, we went down to JB for my niece's wedding. It was a joyous occasion. Tahirah, the bride was very pretty in a dress designed by my other niece, Unaisah. Do check out her blog Studio 26. Tahirah was such a sport.

Then, early January, just like everyone else, the new school year starts. Getting back to the routine of urging my two boys to keep to their schedule. This year, Aiman is in Year 6 and Adam year 4. Both have extra 1/2 hr daily in school. Aiman for UPSR extra classes and Adam for his Tasmik and Bahasa Arab. So, they even has less time in between for lunch and zohor before agama school starts at 2.30pm. Poor fellas. This year I manage to arrange a home tuition for them. It's a three hour session on every Sunday afternoon.

Then, I was also kept busy for Adek's majlis bertunang. It was held on 16th January. Everything went quite well despite the short preparation time. Kakak will be engaged in February. Insyallah, the majlis will be held sometime in May. I will extend my invitation when we have confirmed the exact date. Ooo yes, Norlela came to my house for the bertunang the other day. Thanks Lela. For the rest, not that I don't want to invite, it wasn't a grand one. Just our close relatives and Lela happen to be nearby.
