A fun balik kampung treat-Kuantan- part 2

The next day on Monday, we went to my aut's house, Cik Nah.. it is almost like a-must-go place when we go back haha. Well, of course the kids love it so much as the house is really big, fulls with toys and a new thing has been discovered- an aquarium with gold fish! they really love watching the fish.

iqram, naeem, darwish and fahri were observing the fish

Naeem has a same-aged second cousin (my cousin's son), Darwish. He is 2 months older than Naeem. Just look at these pictures. They were having this i-wanna-be-at-the-middle-to-have-the-best-view issue when looking at the fish. Very competitive. Dua2 x nak mengalah. haha. comel.

moncong habis naemm lol

Darwish and Naeem

It is so difficult to have them as in a group picture. So we have to be happy with these.

 Darwish, 1 year and 11 months

Irfan, 6 years old

 Fahri, 3 year and 7 months old

Iqram, 3 year and 5 months old

Naeem, 1 year and 9 months old

Abg Fahri and Abg Irfan

Cucu2 tok wan and nenek

the attempt to have darwish in the picture..but failed

and introducing darwish's lil sister, rania danisya

I really wanna have them in one picture (my bro and wife and naeem together) as they wore all yellow. So the attempt of silently pose behind Naeem while he was busy with his car, was a success. LOL.

Suddenly, there was a time when Darwish was so geramm with Naeem. He was trying to pinch naeem, kiss his cheeks, hugging him..huh.. I thought they were competitors? I have the feeling that Darwish has a thought that Naeem is a girl! haha...ok ok kene potong rambut anak mama ni..nasib baik ganas

my dad with darwih, mom, aunty, myself and naeem

u will cry to see how they are really loving, caring, taking care of each other so much. They are really close. cik nah is my dad's elder sister. the only sibling that lives in kuantan. the rest are in KL and Kelantan.

last but not least, family portrait..

Till next time Kuantan

A fun balik kampung treat-Kuantan- part 1

Alhamdulillah.. tercapai jugak hasrat nak balik Kuantan setelah sekian lama terpendam. chewahh. We've been so busy lately especially hubby. As he started his master's class since February, we are loosing our Saturdays. Moreover, I also need to conduct an online class for 6 Saturdays ( I owe two more classes). But I wanna thank hubby so much for considering my proposal to go back to Kuantan and take extra leave on Monday. Thank u abg! I love u! Ya la..after all our and especially his hectic schedule, he still manage to slot in time between this fast and furious days.

So, we went to Kuantan after I came back from Nadhrah's wedding, around 3.30 pm. The journey was ok except for Naeem vomited inside the car. Well, Mr Naeem is the one who will not seat still in his carseat. I've tried to ignore him when he cries and screams in his car seat before, but the end result was he won't stop crying through out the whole journey! So, we decided we want some peacefulness, thus I let him exploring the back seat with me..so maybe he got dizzy and was throwing out. Indeed, he was not feeling well few days before. Fahri was ok even at first, he got bored. We try our best not to bribe them with smartphones when they are inside the car nowadays. We reached my parents' house at 7 pm. 

Oh yeah, one of the main reasons of balik kampung this time was to celebrate my sis, Mira who got 9 As in her SPM. So, my bro and I had promised her to go back and having dinner together. Apart from that, because I miss my home, my parents, my family so much. My bother, my sis in law and their adorable kids, Irfan and Ikram. Even though they just live in KL, but hey... time does matter! 

So, around 8 plus, we went to a restaurant, Lila Wadi. It's a steamboat restaurant which located inside a bungalow house at Jalan Teluk Sisek. My first time there. The food is awesome. It's similar with the one in Seoul Garden. I mean.. the style. Just this restaurant is more open air-ambiance. Really suitable for family dinner. Recommended!

the steamboat.. yummy

the only daughters in my family (my sil, myself and sis mira)

my beautiful parents

Next day, there was no extravagant plan. Because I feel tired. And I miss my home. And I want to make sure my kids eat right! yes, my kids were having eating issue few days before and my MIL almost lost her ideas on what to cook. So, I woke up that morning, determinedly to prepare porridge for Naeem. I thought he might wanna eat his blended-porridge back. oh..such a baby la Naeem. And yes, it was so true! He ate my porridge revenously. Dua mangkuk licin! Alhamdulillah. I am a happy mama! For Fahri, not really a problem nowadays, but just make sure it's either chicken (esp chicken curry), egg (as simple as fried egg) or any types of noodles. So that day, my mom cooked delicious chicken curry with kerabu mangga.. arghhh my fav! And Fahri was eating like a hungry horse. Finger licking good. Alhamdulillah. There is nothing could beat the feeling of happiness when your kids eat right!

baby Naeem yg still makan blended porridege ni..haih la naeem dah 20 months kot

 ade2 aje aktiviti abg dan adik ni

After Asar prayer, all of us were heading to MRSM Kuantan, football field to watch my brother and his team having a match with a senior team. My brother was one of the Academy Team for Pahang Football Club (Under 18) when he was a teenager. I remembered following my parents to his place everytime he has a match. So, it was a kinda re-union for them. Well, as mothers, my SIL, Kak Ayu and myself can't really focus on the match as we have few soldiers to watch for. One thing for sure, I am so happy to see my kids are getting closer with their cousins, Irfan and Iqram. They 'played' football together. They really had a good time there.

selfie with my mom haha

naeem just woke up, walking around with papa

Us with the background of the match

Fahri and Irfan Iqram

Iqram and Fahri was playing football together. They are same-aged. Who was the pro? of course it's Iqram.. well can't really blame Fahri because Iqram has more exposure on football compared to Fahri ;)

Then, we brought them to a nearby field, smaller one and they were having their time here. Running, chasing ball. And cinonit Naeem also joined them. Hayya. Obviously Naeem was always left behind compared to his brothers haha. Cian my naeem.. Nanti da besar Naeem rampas bola keh.

haha look ak this.. cinonit naeem nak jugak join.kelakar la anak mama ni

There was a funny part when Fahri was conquering the ball, running as fast as he can , reaching to the goal BUT with his hands! not his foot! mane tak bengang si Irfan and Iqram haha.. Oh fahri main tipu ye anak mama

Oh my boys.. and at times, they did some charity works like plucking the grass? eh? lol

Wedding of Nadhrah & Izwan

Assalamualaikum.. 

This is a special entry for my sweet heart, Nadhrah Fauzi. She got married on last weekend (solemnization on Saturday and reception on Sunday). I couldn't attend her wedding reception in Intekma Resort as I went back to Kuantan on Saturday's evening. Thus, I am very honored when she invited me to come to her solemnization on Saturday, 11 am , located at Masjid Tengku Ampuan Jemaah, Bukit Jelutong. My husband supposedly has a class on that morning, but at a very last minute, his lecturer cancelled it. Thus, I asked him to join me but he said he wanted to have a rest at home (we slept over mak's house so that mak can look after my kids) because we are going to have a long journey on the evening. So, ok. it does make sense.

So, I went alone to nad's solemnization and promised Rosnah and Yati with her hubby, Ustaz Suhairie at the mosque.

Before leaving the house, sempat lagi hubby perli "tak nak selfie ke".. amboihh..so apa lagi ini makannya haha

Anyway, Nadhrah was my colleague in my previous work place. She was among the senior English lecturers back then, after all my best buddies left the place. First time I saw her in office, I was like "cantiknya budak ni..why she works here in the first place?" haha. Then I got to know her that she indeed, is a very nice girl. She is way younger than me. Soft spoken, polite, organized, humble, shy, quiet, crazy at times. Back in 2009, I was just got married at that time, I lost few friends when they decided to switch job, so we only have 3 English lecturers back then including her, myself and another lecturer, Seri. Among three of us, I was the most senioritas ;) 

Then, as time went by, we became closer especially again by the end of 2010, another group of English lecturers left the organization. But, nad, seri and me remained there. We became much closer. I guess we have lots of things in common. In fact, some of our acquaintances claimed that we look like sisters. Then, I was appointed by my director at that time as an English Coordinator based on seniority, age and experience. I remembered Nad was very supportive towards my appointment. I really love her as my sister. We always address each other as 'kakak tiri and adik tiri' haha. Then, so many things happened, we became apart because of time and commitment. But we still keep in touch. Then, in July 2013, I left the place but she is still there until now. We rarely see each other now but we communicate via watsapp at times.

Dear Nadhrah, congratulations on your big day. I can see that you are really happy now as you have found your prince charming. You really deserve a good man. Because you are sweet, humble and nice. I pray that your marriage will be blessed by the Almighty Allah swt, forever and ever, till Jannah, InsyaAllah. May you will be granted with lots of beautiful kids like me haha.

Love, 

kakak tiri ;)

Congratulations again, Nadhrah and Izwan.
