Happy Malaysia Day!

Do you know that initially the formation of Malaysia was set on 1st June and later postponed to 31st August 1963 so that it will be the same as Merdeka Day? However due to some issues, the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year.

Malaysian will celebrate Malaysia Day each year on 16th September to commemorate the establishment of Malaysian federation. The best part is, beginning in 2010; Hari Malaysia is also a public holiday for all states in Malaysia and not just holiday for Sabah and Sarawak like the previous years.

Happy Malaysia Day! I'm proud to be Malaysian :)

Make Up & Photo Shot

Make up by my younger sister

Last Saturday, I went to my parents' house to meet my siblings. They are back to Keningau for Raya Merdeka holidays. So, we have some chats, make up and photo sessions. My younger sister, Cassandra is a fashionable person. She's more to Korean style.

My another younger sister, Cherylyn is more to make up and photography thingy. Oh well, imagine when we gathered together. Lots of girls thingy to talk about! So, I asked them to do a photo shot for me...bila lagi kan, kan, kan? (My other siblings, Jocelyn and Geraldlius just do their own activities).

Done with the make up/hair style

So, here are some of the shots. What do you think?

Aloha!

It's Tuesday and I'm back to my daily routine after 10 days of school and public holidays! My first day is awesome, thanks God for that. No lazy mode for today! Ha...ha...Oh well, who else is going to do everything? Absolutely me, I'm a superwoman (^^,)

How's your holidays? Guess I ate too much of spicy food during Raya, so most of the days I got bellyache! However, the best thing about Raya is of course my favorite dishes especially rendang, ketupat, kuih makmur and kuih baulu. All are Malays' main dishes during Raya.

The rest of the holidays, I just stayed at home with hubby and kids. We have to canceled our trip to KK due to some problems. I was a bit upset as I did promise to meet my friends, but there's always next time. So, no need to feel disappointed just because of small matter, huh?

Anyway, I'm still missing my parents, especially my mom! Wish she was here because sometimes, when I need someone to talk to, she's always there for me. Haissh...not all girls thingy can share with hubby la...ha...ha...Luckily my younger sisters from KL and Perak are here for their holidays. At least we can 'borak-borak'.

Bah, happy working for those who are back to work this week.

S.A.D

It's 12.38 in the morning, but am not sleepy yet. Or maybe because I was very sad about my mom. I shouldn't feel this way, I mean, she'll be going to Sarawak and definitely will come back, but it's just that am gonna miss her!

Oh mom, poor me. Shame on me for acting like such a kid!

Oh well, guess I'll end up like this tonight! Sob...sob...Hubby is laughing at me right now :p

Once again, have a safe flight mom (I know you are reading this :)

p/s: Mom, don't forget to buy me Ikan Terubuk & Kek Lapis Sarawak!

Happy Holidays!

Hooray! Happy holidays everyone :)

27th Aug-5th Sept ~ 10 days of school holidays

30th-31st Aug ~ 2 days of Raya holidays

31st Aug ~ Happy 54th Merdeka Day

That's what everybody is saying, Happy Raya Merdeka! Safe journey to those who are going back to their villages (balik kampung). Drive carefully!

:-(

In another three days, my mom will be going to Sarawak to attend Catholic's Women League (CWL) Conference in Sibu for three days. After that, she'll be going back to her village in Sri Aman for a month! Gosh, a month? Her last visit to Sarawak was three years ago!

At the aged of 34, I still need my mom. I can't imagine my life without her! Same goes to my dad. How I wish I can bring them now to travel around the world? Perhaps, someday. They are hoping to visit Rome one day :)

Anyway, after a month in Sarawak, mom will be going to Lahad Datu for another two weeks to visit my dad. Then, both my parents will be going back to Keningau by end of October! Gosh, I'm sure I'm gonna miss her a lot! Sob...sob...

Have a safe flight and journey mom, love you!!!

Weekend Outing to Taman Berkelah

As I promised before, here are some of our photos taken at Taman Berkelah. It was located in Apin-Apin, Keningau. Such a nice place to visit during weekend. You can bring your family and friends for picnic and bbq too! Anyway, you need to pay the entrance fees as this place is owned by a family. RM2 for adult and RM1 for children below 12 years old.

You can drive your car inside this area, but we prefer to go inside by foot. Just to walk around because we didn't bring anything for picnic/bbq.

A few minutes walk from the entrance gate

Fish Pond

My precious

According to the owner's daughter, this place got lots of Khazanah Jepun yang masih belum ditemui. Japanese did come before to buy this land, but their late father refused to sell it. They didn't want to open it to public at first, but then they decided to make it as a family business.

I love the view here, quiet, peaceful and got fresh air! Sayangnya takde bawa pakaian mandi, so only my kids la berendam sakan...ha...ha...

Mummy in action (^_^)

By the way, this river is 'ditagal', which means that no fishing allowed in this river. The main purpose is to make sure semua anak ikan sempat membesar sebelum dipancing. However, once a year, they'll organize a fishing competition here. Anyway, visitor can do the fishing activity at the fish pond. Mahal sikit la coz ikan yand dipancing akan ditimbang ikut berat tu ikan.

Candid!

Hubby and kids are so buzy feeding the fishes in the river, while my mom and younger sister are taking photos of each other. Me? Oh well...taking photos too. Am sitting on the rocks, feels like I'm at the Fish Spa! Banyak anak ikan dekat kaki...geli...you can experience it at Ranau too. Somewhere in Kg Luanti, if I'm not mistaken.

After 2 hours there, we decided to go home but we'll definitely will come again. Perhaps, a family gathering there. I miss my dad, but he'll be back in October :)

August 2011 Updates

Finally, I can update my blog using my mobile after a few weeks! Nothing much to share, just a quick updates on what's happening on August.

It's been a while without family outing as hubby is quite busy. My mom also in KK for a week plus to babysit her other grandchildren. She came back to Keningau last Wednesday. So, last Friday, mom and I sent Randall to school. Then, we went for some talks at one of the coffee shop here. We have ABC Buah.

ABC Buah

On last Tuesday night, hubby brought me and kids for family outing. We have some shoppings and dinner at Pizza Hut. I used to order spagetthi or pizza for myself, but this time I'd like to try other menu. So, I requested for Seafood Lasagna. OMG, I really love it!

Seafood Lasagna

Last Monday night, we went out for grocery shopping. All the government staffs are very excited for the Bonus Raya! Thank you Lord, at least we got some extra money for shoppings! Before going home, we went to a nearby shop to treat the kids for their favorite things. While waiting for them, I saw this stall outside the shop. So, I give it a try for all the flavors. Sedap bah…normally we have it with mayonnaise+tomato sauce. 

Kentang Spring @ Spring Potato

We also went to KFC and finally, I did try the new flavour. I like it!

Quarter Chicken with Black Pepper Sauce

Oh well, I bought a new baby tee of Rev Collections. The best thing is, I can fit into 'S' size and it only cost RM23.90! Quite cheap but I like the motif printed on this shirt :)

Quick Updates

A friend of mine asking me why my blog is so sunyi? He...he...I'm so lazy to update my blog lately. Blame the PMS alert again, huh? Oh well, no more excuse...now I had a laptop, all I have to do is to type, type and type :P

There's a problem with my mobile also. I realized I couldn't update my blog using my mobile lately. The screen keep on showing 'PAGE NOT FOUND, CHECK THE ADDRESS' but I did type the address correctly! The reason why sometimes I prefer using my mobile is because I can post all the photos directly instead of transfer it to my laptop using another cable...lazy me!!!

Opps, I haven't share with you all about my weekend outing to Taman Berkelah. Gosh, later okay! I had my late lunch today around 4.00pm! I don't think I can eat anymore but I'm craving for something spicy! But seems it's still raining, I don't want to go to Bazaar Ramadhan. So, instant noodle will do...ha...ha...A bowl of Asam Laksa or Tom Yam please ;-)

Baby Ezra's 1st Birthday Party

Happy birthday Ezra, my one and only niece in the family. She's so cute, adorable yet naughty...ha...ha...Today, 8th Aug is her birthday. I was so sad because hubby, kids and I couldn't join them tonight for the celebration in KK.

Besides, it's still Ramadhan month. So, just a simple birthday party among families except us...sob...sob...oh well, hubby and kids need to go to school. Maybe next celebration ya. Aunty loves you so much. I still remember the day she was born. I was there at Likas Hospital. Now, she's turning to 1 year old already. Time past so quickly :P
