33rd Advance Birthday Gifts

Yeah...I'm so happy. I just came back from KK (Kota Kinabalu) yesterday afternoon together with my beloved hubby and kids. We went to KK last Sunday and stayed 1 night at my favorite, Imperial Hotel.

@ Imperial Hotel

I had a wonderful time with my family and I really appreciate it . He knows how much I love KK. He knows how much I love Big Apple Donuts (the outlet only available in KK) and as he promised, he bought 1 set of Twilight Books for me. The rest of the gifts? Ha..ha..I promised to him that I won't share about it in my blog or Facebook.

Finally, 1 set of Twilight Books

Anyway, here are some of our great photos.

Another 7 Days...

He..he..oh yes, I'm counting the days. 7 more days to go before my 33rd birthday!!! Wow, I can't believe that I'm going to be 33 years old soon. When I was 19, I said to myself that I don't want to be 20th. When I was 29, once again I said to myself I don't want to be in 30th category...but here I am at the aged of 32 years old...ha..ha..

Many people said that 'Age is just a number, don't you stop having fun!' Honestly, I'm worried about being old. As a woman, I'm worried about how to face the menopause one day. As a mother, I'm worried about my kids as they'll go to college one day and left us, their parents at home. I can't live without them. I can't imagine my life without my kids and my hubby? Oh well...am I thinking too much? It happen to me every year, especially a week before my birthday. Soon after my birthday, my fearless will gone with the wind...ha..ha..

Anyway, a few gifts are on my mind right now but I'm hoping and wanting for these things so badly since last year! Unfortunately, I'm out of budget. So, I'm hoping for my hubby to buy one of these first or both if possible..he..he..

I am Nokia lover

Die hard fan of Twilight series

MOO...MOO...

I was so sad and I'm crying like this...he..he..

No-lah, I'm just kidding! Actually, we are planning to go for a day trip to KK but since our kids are sick, then we have to canceled it...hu..hu..cancellation for the 2nd times I guess! Well, what to do, my kids are more important than anything else in this world!

My friends, Ollie told me about the Twilight Books (1 set) that she found at Harris Bookstore in 1Borneo Hypermall last week. I've been waiting for it since last year as it always out of stock! Sadly, I can't go to KK to buy it. I mean, I prefer to buy it by my own then ask someone to buy it for me. Yeah...that's me!

Hopefully my kids will get well soon...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the great daddy, bapa, ayah, abah out there. Especially to my beloved daddy and my beloved hubby too. Words can't describe how thankful I am for everything that you have done to me all these years. However, I was so sad because my dad is not around, he's still in Lahad Datu. Can't wait to see you dad!

Anyway, the best memories I had with my dad is when I was 7 years old. One day, he came back from work and he looked very tired. He wanted to sleep but when he saw us (my sisters and I) just about to eat our meals, he took the plates and feed or 'suapkan' us. At the aged of 7, my dad still feed us like a kid!

Another sweet moments, when I was 7 or 8, I remember I still don't know how to read the clock! I prefer to wear a digital watch to school to make it easier. Then one day, my dad make a clock for me from the box and ask me every single day, 'what time now Renny?' He helped me a lot to improve my weaknesses. Even until today, at the aged of 33, he still there for me when I need him.

Dad, I know you don't ask for anything in return, but I know that you really want to visit Rome. I'll work harder and try my best to fulfill your dreams.

How's your mother's day celebration? Mine is very simple but meaningful. I don't really care about how to celebrate it, as long as I'm with my family, that is the best gift already.

Anyway, my hubby bought a cake for me and my mother too. He helped me with the cookings for our lunch on that day. Then, my beloved mother also came with the KFC! Later that evening, she came again and bought me some 'lekor'...ha..ha..I can't finish it, I'm too full!!

Simple but yummy cake!

Our favorite, Original Snack Plate

Well, I hope all the mommies out there are having good time too.

Happy Mother's Day 2010!

To all the mothers out there, enjoy your relaxing day...he..he..make sure no house chores, no cooking or cleaning on that day...

Happy Sunday!

How are you today my friends? I'm not feeling well. It was heavy rain yesterday evening and then suddenly I got flu! Gosh, not again...I hate it.

Good for those who have flu

Anyway, today is Sunday. I didn't go to church because my hubby is going back to his hometown in Papar. He got something urgent to do there and I have to stay at home to take care of our kids. Forgive me Jesus...hmmm...as usual, I'll do my Rosary later.

Well, hope you enjoy your Sunday.

AF8 : Getting better after 6th concert

Oh yeah, finally...In my opinion, I can say that I'm satisfied with the AF8 6th concert last night. I like the opening performance with their colourful appearances. I can see Adlin's satisfaction face too especially after Maulana and Adira's performances.

Opening performance

I think that Maulana is very talented in singing but I don't like his attitude which shown on Diari AF8 every Monday-Friday. He kind of too emotional person, playful sometimes or maybe because they are like living in a box in the academy. Which is without window and any entertainment apart from studying, learning, acting, singing and eating..ha..ha..

Anyway, I was quite suprised with Adira's performance last night. During their first concert, I don't like her at all but after a few weeks, she improved a lot especially in her singing. Thumbs up Adira! Finally, I'm proud of you and I'm sure the other Sabahan too.

Adira ('My All' by Mariah Carey)

Maulana ('Bila Rindu' by Ruffedge)

Honestly, I don't care much about who will be the winner this year but I really hope that Maulana and Adira will be in top 3.

Trip to Sabah Agriculture Park, Tenom

The main entrance

We just came back from Tenom. I'm so tired but since my kids are still sleeping, I think better for me to update my blog and upload picture as well. We went to Sabah Agriculture Park (SAP) or also known as Taman Pertanian Sabah in Tenom this morning.

Actually, this my third visit to SAP. My first visit was in 2003, when I'm 5 months old pregnant to my eldest son. My second visit was in 2007, together with both our kids. We never get bored because we like this place very much. I'm so glad to be back there and I can see the improvement of SAP.

My fav pic of the day

Entrance fee for adults will be charged RM10 per pax while children below 12 years old is free of charge. You may explore the whole area either by walks or cycling but I prefer to wait for the mini train. The driver will bring you the top spots, such as Hybrid Orchid Centre, Model Garden, also Garden of Plants Evolution and Adaptation. Other facilities provided are toilets, cafe, souvenir shop and surau (For Muslim people to pray).

After the mini train ride, we went to Bougainvillea Court. It's just a few minutes walks from the main building. Just take your time, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I'm sure you'll have a good time there.

Hi friends, it's been a few days I didn't update my blog. I'm creating another blog for my kids. Feel free to read it too eventhough I haven't finish it yet. Oh well, sometimes I'm out of idea, don't know what else to type!

By the way, we went to Kota Kinabalu (KK) last Wednesday (14th April, 2010). It was a last minute decision as my hubby got something to do in KK but he still wanted us to go with him. Well, I'm so happy because I can drop by at the Warisan Square to buy my favourite Big Apple Donuts! Ha..ha..

We departed from Keningau at 1300hrs and arrived safely in KK at 1430hrs. After my hubby's work is done, he brought us to our favourite place, La Manila Cafe in Warisan Square for lunch. Gosh, we are so hungry! Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos..ha..ha..I'm having my favourite Carrot Juice and BBQ Chicken Rice while my hubby and kids are having Fried Rice and Carrot Juice too.

After lunch, I went to Big Apple Donuts outlet there. I bought three boxes of donuts for myself, my mother in law and my mom too. I was so happy because I met my Facebook's friend, Juliana as well. Actually, she's an ex Unduk Ngadau Lahad Datu in 2008. I was so suprised to meet her there and again, I forgot to take our picture together. She is very pretty and friendly.

My friend, Juliana & her hubby

We have to drive out from KK by 1630hrs because we don't want to be caught in a heavy traffic jam. Eventhough we are in KK for only two hours, but I'm having a good time with my family. Well, the next day is a school day, so we can't stay overnight in KK. We need to go back to Keningau on the same day.

On the way back to Keningau, we drop by at my hubby's hometown in Papar. My mother in law isn't around. So, I just put the donuts in the fridge. I'm sure she'll be happy to know about it. We don't want to be caught in a heavy fog too. Therefore, after taking some mangoes, we went home as soon as possible. We arrived safely in Keningau at 1900hrs. Thank you Lord for blessing our journey, Amen.
