Story-mory

Not much works to do? <sighhh...> Muchhhhh! Roy never has little works to do as long as she works here (including long over due job plus procastinate attitude - yes, must admit that also, cannot blame the mgmt alone. At least I hv some $$ in my acct after deduct this and that and those at the end of the month huh!) 
I more into bloggingr right now. I deem and suppose that blogger is more suitable to express the "words" whereas FP is more to <show> photo.
OK, time to update before I, myself, forgot.
A lil' info about Ammar:-
My big boy will become 9-yr-old this coming October. He has compiled (khatam) the Holy Book of Qur'an a month ago. Alhamdulillah. More advance than his mummy and abah. Mummy pun khatam darjah 5 kut. He has been circumcised last 2 days and now back to 'active routine'  already.
Yeaa..anak mak dah besar. 
A lil' info about Aqil:-
My second kid will become 8-yr-old this coming October. I usually make Ammar & Aqil celebration party together as their birthdate is just 8 days differ. Jimat kos!  . Aqil now is in juzuk 17. He planned to be circumcised some times during November/December. I like to call him 'cembeng' as he likes sulking most of the time.
A lil' info about Hannah:-
This is always a daddy's princess. She will turn one in not more than 2 months from now. Huh, so fast to catch with time hah... I still felt as I just went out from the labor room...  .
Her hemangioma... humph, I see the progress, the redness on the right cheek is faded and this area apparently fader than below right eyelid and beside right eye. Waiting for those latter area to fade and go away soonest possible. I pray to God always that they will quickly go away and always thankful to what He has given. For that, there's so many hikmah whether we see it with our naked eyes or invisible to us. She's a sweet and cute girl despite that.
Since we don't send her to nursery like those 2 boys, she's hardly been touched to 'stranger'. She's now quite 'active' but still in control. Good girl! I've enough before - to control 2 boys. This Hannah is 'active' but in a polite way. At times, she's a shy girl. That's my mummy's girl  ... She's now in crawling and cruising stage. Expected to walk short while.
She waves (bye-bye) me and husband when we're going to office. She can differentiate by looking at the dress code or maybe at time whether we're going to office or to jalan-jalan. She'll automatically cry if we don't bring her along for jalan-jalan. She's a bubbling girl also, but tgk tempat (bagus anak mak ni)
Don't try to take anything from her hand (from what she holds or has taken from us  ) or else she will screammmm. Garang jugak ni. Ask nicely by saying 'bak' and she will give it away and always say Thank You to her after that. But, if we ask the things that she really likes, she won't give it and will keep screaming  . More...she will dance when people singing. her favorite song is ding a ding gele, minah anak pak mat kole. Sometimes we change it to ding a ding gele, hannah anak aidil arize. When she holds a comb, she'll comb anyone's hair that near to her, most of the time Aqil will be her favorite victim.
Still nothing to do (or pretend nothing to do..ahaks..)?Let's view some of video and YouTube.
Live from my camera (during the visit back in Nov 2006)
The blink blink Eiffel Tower, from PARIS with laf!
OK, let's layanzz this song. I dont know why I like this song. May be the music itself. Zassss!

Keberangkatan...

ke Tanah Suci
This time father treats his kids. Only ayah, mak, kak piza and adik An as well as abg Mad and kak Lin were going. Me? Ayah said still has a baby to feed, so let's see next year, he said. InsyaAllah...
Felt worry about mak condition as she said she felt the pain again on the night of departure. Her voice is not very clear when she talked or told something.
But, her voice is loud clear when she called me from Madinah last Monday. Alhamdulillah...
Semoga all of them selamat menunaikan ibadah umrah dan selamat pulang.
The photos taken were blur, I suspected my camera need to be replaced or at least be serviced. Service? Buy new one? Which one is rational?

Selamat hari ibu/mak/mummy/mama/amma..
|
|
For me, everyday is a mother's day. KASIH IBU TIADA BANDINGAN.
There's a saying: There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
For my mum:-
Although a daughter, I write this as a mother
We're both mothers now, of child-daughters
You, a grandmother forced to be a mother,
Our children needing our loves as I needed yours
The same song as ever, a lullaby I remember
So well from my time in your arms
We move in slow spirals towards the stars.
I know you wanted the best for me
And to keep me from all harm.
I just want you to know I couldn't
Have a better mom.
Your love is like the Arizona sun
Always there, no matter what I do
You're the place within my heart that's home
A Song for Mama

Jakarta (last day)
|
|
We managed to go shopping today as our flight time to KL is 6:05 pm. Planned to go to Mangga 2 but the taxi driver recommended going to Cempaka Mas as he said the complex is more bigger under one roof. We arrived there at 9:45 am. The lights were not all switched on, shops are about to start operating and many shops still closed (awalnya datang!) But as we walk from one shop to one shop, the complex became brighter (all the lights was ON) and all the shops were opened.
Yes it's true, all things are here. And most surprising to us, the same things (mostly) at Pasar Baru Trade Centre Bandung could be found here with much much much much cheaper. Waduhh...menyesal? To cover the guiltiness, I also spent some (as usual). Don't miss the chance OK. And lesson for the day is, next time if you want to buy things like telekung, batik, tudung, kemeja, hbag, bought at Jakarta. Branded items get at Bandung.
We couldn't spent much time here as we have to go back to hotel room to pack & check out before heading to airport.
After having lunch, we departed to airport at 3:30 pm. By right it would only take 20 minutes from the hotel to airpot, but because jalan macet (jam), there's a construction at hiway (imagine 3 lanes became 1 lane), we almost missed the flight. That was the "panic period" for all of us, including taxi driver. The boarding time is 5:30 pm, but we still in the hectic traffic jam at 5:40 pm. Ammar & Aqil were praying . We reached airport at 5:50 sharp, took our luggages put on the trolley and all of us were running running running like Home Alone movie..really. All the mixover feelings were there - panic, irritate, shock. The rest was history.....
And since we travelled with the baby, we were given priority to board first. My "kecut perut" only cured when only I laid myself on the seat, in the flight. The experience that won't be forgotten. "Jalann macett"
And not so many pictures today as we are shocked by all those things I listed above   
Not to forget, our special dedication to hubby a.k.a abah, thanks for this treats, BDG & JKT. Thanks from mummy, Ammar, Aqil, Hannah and mek(maid) Ana. Where next?

Taman Impian Jaya - Ancol, Jakarta (second day)
|
|
Today we spent all day at the team park. We only can cover Gelanggang Samudera, akuarium (air tawar & laut) and Ice World. Itu saja sudah cukup memenatkan diri. Only the kids love it. Mummy suka pi shopping lagi.
We haven't enough time to spend at DuFan (Dunia Fantasi) and inside Seaworld as we felt asleep in the evening as a result of tired to death.
But, at least now we can see that the boys started showing their happiness and excitement (compare to during the stay at Bandung). But the mummy still chooses Bandung.

Taman Impian Jaya - Ancol, Jakarta
|
|
We checked in at a hotel in Ancol area after coming back from Taman Safari. The hotel has the direct access to the beach. We chose the hotel as it is located in the heart of the exciting dreamland Ancol park, for kids pleasure.
Entering the hotel, me and husband noticed that Ammar busily got some piece of the paper and pencil provided on the table and started writing. He was so concentrated on the writing that we left it to him first before I quietly snatched the paper he put on the table before started playing PS2. It's an essay. The contents is so funny yet so touching "a little bit". Showed to hubby, he read, smiled, and asked me to keep it properly.

BDG-JKT (Taman Safari Indonesia)
|
|
We departed as early as 8:00 am after breakfast at hotel. By right, the journey from Bandung to Jakarta takes about 2 hours through highway and 4 hours if through old road. Not to waste time, we asked the driver to take highway. To go up the hill to Taman Safari, it will take about another 1 hour but because of traffic jam, it took almost 2 hours to reach there. Along the path up the hill, a lot of seller shouted asking to buy carrots to feed animals at TS. We haven't missed the chance to buy some.
We fed deers, seladang, elephant, zebra, etc from our door cab. It was so fun! Oops, you shouldn't fed tiger, lion, bear or any dangerous animals ok. We passed all dangeraous animals but seemed they were not to disturb or came near us (except we stop the car or come near them, DON'T DARE DO that). It took about 2 hours to complete cover driving along Taman Safari.
We stopped at Rain Forest restaurant to have lunch and bought some souvenir there.

Bandung (second day)
|
|
The taxi fetched us at 8.20 am to Pasar Baru Trade Center. We spent almost a day there. Here there's a lot of things from traditional item, garment, textile, handbags to accessories and a lot more. This place is like a one stop center. Branded items hardly find here. If ones looking for nice telekung, tudung, blouse, batik, kebaya, kain ela..a lot to type..come here. A must come place for visitor/shopper like us. This place closes at 5 everyday, so come earlier. You must know/brialliant to bargain here..if not the seller will cekik/katok us as they know that we are travellers. But they are all nice people.
Although I brought the maid, the bargain time was doing by me (by conversing using Indon language maa). My maid role just to carry/take care of the baby. If not, susah maaa I mau pilih barang. Lucky brought her. Of course I bought something for her also...
We went back to hotel at 4.00 pm after lunch at Simpang Raya Restoran (nasi padang). We went out again with the same taxi and driver "yg setia" after performing solat jamak, husband entetained kids at swimming pool, and some refreshment. This time we just told him to go to Bale Anak (kids famous branded store) to look clothes for Hannah as she the only one who we haven't bought/found anything suitable to her yet since last shopping. . This place is so nice. All the materials are fine and beautiful to my naked eyes. . Thanx to Anis catmami for recommending to come here...muaahh
Looking at the watch, ah still early, asked the driver to drive us to Rumah Mode. Since this is the last day at Bandung (the next day we headed to Jakarta), tak nak lepas kan peluang juga pi sana as Anis ckp the place is happening. Mari tgk, apa yg happening nya, hummph.
Since 1 hour away the shop will be closed, I chose just to have dinner there and not to go inside. Sudah letih maaa, tak pa la, lain kali ada umur dtg sini lagi ye Anis. Only husband and the boys got in. Me, Hannah and maid have dinner at restaurant nama apa tah. But the mee bakso there is happening. Aqil and Ammar makan sampai terjulur lidah. And my maid, agaknya sampailah hajat dia balik negera sendiri makan bakso

A family vacation
After checking in at hotel, we did some refreshment (lunch, change clothes) before heading to "no need to tell". What else if one is in Bandung? Visiting places? For me, I would like to shoppp more while visiting. We rented a hotel taxi (Suzuki APV is famous there for taxi) that charged us Rp60,000 per hour (RM20). The driver would bring us anywhere and wait for us at specific destination until we finished with anything we would like to do.
The taxi stopped us at Grande Factory Outlet. Finished shopping at Grande? Yes, then we headed to Jetset before walking down to Episode. What did I get there? So many to list......not to include what my husband bought for himself and kids. If you come to Bandung, branded items are worth to buy. Tips for Alin and Mek and whoever plans to come here. Many outlets is along Jln Dago. They are side by side, so walking distance is possible from one shop to another shop, but of course, tiredness must be expected not while you walking, but after you arrive back at hotel room..haha
Back at the hotel room, me and husband laughing at ourselves as what we feel like "jakun sepai"...(lama tak menyopping benda2 branded dlm kuantiti yg byk la ni)
