X'mas Trip

It was the closing trip for Year 2010.... despite earlier hiccups and chaos, we both decided that no one will ruin our holiday this year.

As I said previously, it would not be our family destination if it was not for the decision by the majority, but we were left with no options when majority broke the treaty due to unforeseen reasons. Anyway, we proceeded with the plan and fun was all we had.... yes, baby!

Liza, my college friend for close to 17 years now, came along with us and with that, there was nothing more that I could asked for.


We hit the road on Friday, 24th Dec 2010 @ 7am (yes, it was Naqeeb's birthday) and it was quite a relaxing journey as the weather was cool that morning. There were my family, Liza's, Afiq and Aman. Even with a smaller group, we almost wrecked S'pore and JB.... muahahaha.


We reached Kukup Golf Resort in the afternoon, around lunch time, and we stayed in JB that day because everyone was tired. Since we were travelling, we postponed Naqeeb's birthday celebration till later. We hit S'pore the next day, 25th Dec 2010 - that is on the X'mas Day itself.

yeah
Nana: That's how you pose, okay?

After a good meal @ Zam Zam Restaurant in Arab Street (where we had the BEST-est Nasi Briyani and Murtabak), we went straight to Orchard Rd... and so the quest began.... hahaha



10 pax, 3 cameras.... made us feel like celebrities. The person on the left was the bodyguard, trying to chase paparazzi away, and the one on the right was chasing after me, trying to get a close up.... muahahhahaha....... berlakon kejap!

We spent the whole day in Orchard Road and of course, we shopped till we dropped...


It was close to 12am when we reached our hotel back in Johore... but it was a very satisfying trip to S'pore.

The next morning we went straight to Tanjung Piai, the Southernmost tip of Asia... and this is every reason why we were here in Johor. It took us about 10-15 mins from Kukup to Tanjung Piai and the view was breathtakingly beautiful.







To reach the end of the mainland, you have to walk through the jungle along the pathway... since I am not a person who is close to nature, I must say the the walk made me jittery all over. I just couldn't wait to get to the end of the bridge (the image of snakes were in my mind all the time...!) hehhehe


The photos will tell all the fun that we had..... yeayy!!! Yes, we finally conquered Tnjg Piai..... :) So next will be Koh Sa Mui!? No......?


Nana made Uncle Nik jumped.....?! hahahha


Nana was jumping in joy... and made me jumped like Tigger too... eheheh



Before we head back to KL, we stppoed by Kukup jetty and had the BEST-est (again!) seafood ... we had 5 FAT KETAMS..... a whole plate to ourselves, ey Liza.....!?

Big fat crabs... just for me.... :)

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...
