Penang to Planetarium and such

Guest of honour just left the house and on the way back to Penang after a last stop at Jalan TAR..and as expected, Sufiya cried and she keep on asking to go to Penang..and we promised her two pink telephone and one purple camera (toys) to stop her cry... and it works as always.....

Here's the flashback



Dinner at Saba' Cyberjaya..we had Lamb Hanith, another lamb dish and chicken kebab, mint tea that came without mint leaves at all and fruit juices for the kids...the owner already bought the next door restaurant and Saba' became a big dining place...the food is good but the kitchen and wah area need to be upgraded.....

The floor of zero gravity room...


Candy ride....as a token
We went to the Planetarium for some educational visit... view from Balai Cerapan towards the city
Admission is free for this exhibition area but the route here from the parking is terrible, we had to climb the staircase a=about 15-20 minutes...
Hadif trying out space water closet..and found out it was too small for him..need a custom made... .:-P
Farehah and Ersyad with the space suits



Zero gravity room that made us dizzy...



After the planetarium we decided to talk a walk at the park..it was crowded but the weather was good for a walk with the kids...Farehah with KLCC at the back
Ersyad pose high up ......


Koala bear....Hadif have a new skill..next trip to kampung he will panjat pokok kelapa







Final pose before they head home..Hadif was busy looking at the cow at the nearby hill....notice my sarang tempua..? it was given to me few months ago, there lots of these in Putrajaya, but with all the developments going on some of them might be moving to other place...even a wild boar has been hit by a Satria last few months at the big roundabout.....

Pink Form

It finally arrived..not a pink paper but still the message is the same, the original precious pink will be in my hand tomorrow and by Monday I'll be using a new route, passing different building and reporting to new superior and making new friends and will have a room with a different view (if only there's a room with a view..)

Some said that its hard to say goodbye, but not for me...saying goodbye in this case is so damn easy..not trying to be snobbish or what...but if you are in my shoes, you can feel how tight the shoes are and how is the pain......but life goes on.....forgive and forget...

Have a nice weekend folk....Sufiya is expecting her cousin from Penang and always her Saleem Mamu...

Raya photo blogging

I'm lazy to think and write..so just few photos for an update..


Welcome to Penang..a major landmark...there was a story about a man who waited for ferry to go to the island..he wait and wait for Feri Pulau Pinang, tapi yang sampai Feri Pulau Undan dan pulau lain-lain.....hehehe
At Fort Cornwallis, Penang testing D90 ..the place was crowded and we saw Aida..a big cruise ship at Fort Swettenham...

Kids with their light saber..she thrown away that thing and kena marah sedass dengan abah...Hadif with his Ultraman head

Preparing for bbq in Alor Star with two kitchen helper who came with sun shades :-P


We extended our raya holiday due to my technical trip to Penang which was confirmed at a very last minute. Hubby had to rushed back to Putrajaya by bus until he left his luggage at a ticket counter somewhere in Komtar. Preparing for satay session...


Surprised birthday celebration to Pn Aishah..

Aquaria KLCC & American Carousel Ride


We finally had a chance to have some quality time with the kids and the celebration started on Saturday where we just brought them to IOI Mall Puchong for dinner at Kenny Rogers and enjoy the American Carousel Ride.
American Carousel Ride..reminds me of tapak pesta di Alor Star back in the 80's
They were so excited waiting for their turn..Hadif was sort of dancing while looking at those shiny horses and the bright lights..the tickets for both of them are RM2 and we both accompanied them and we managed to get a seat for Hadif since he's still too small...and as expected he refused to just sit there while kakak had a more exciting chance...

Abah in action with his Nikon D90..still exploring his new toy which he already invested quite an amount on that...

The fun continue on Sunday with a trip to Aquaria KLCC..that was the first time for me and the kids but the second for hubby who first went there for safety inspection on those 'walkalator'.


This is a big aquarium with big fish and its quite a view..so serene..there are few benches for us to just sit and enjoy the view..but some prefer to just sit on the floor


The fish tank ..situated next to the staircase leading to aquarium hall..this is where they have sound effect of rainforest..complete with thunder and all that made Sufiya keep on telling me that she's afraid of that sound until today....poor child...


A nice little turtle in a tank...they should be in Redang or Perhentian, in their best habitat...


Few species of butterflies..I wish that they have more than just what are available now..
for the price that we paid (RM28 /adult ) and free for children below 3 yrs old..I expect to see more than just this...
The fun for the kids continue at Isetan Klcc at Children's corner (I think it is sponsored by Avent) where both of them met new friends..

my handsome boy with Ben 10 sunglass... gaya mesti ada even though bekas campak tak hilang lagi..hehehe


Hadif with his new friend...

Sufiya with her Lego..kiasu..tak nak bagi sapa pun tolong...
We actually spoiled with more games, KFC and the day ended with strawberry ice cream as reqested by the big sister...it was tiring but they got what they deserved...
p/s Sufiya actually dragged us all to Swatch and eyeing a pink watch..and crying and asking for that pink thingy...its RM140...hello miss Rapunzel...we are not from Trump clan or the Hiltons...

Bitter Sweet Symphony

Our life is like a symphony...an ensemble that can either make you feel melodramatic or make you want to jump up and scream out loud...

I believe that life is not like what you want it to be, sometimes the best thing come with a price, a price that can't be measured. Maybe what we want badly is not what we deserved, not just yet...

The time will come for me to celebrate the success but that does not mean that its a mourning period now..life goes on no matter what happen.

Part 3 exam is just a big hurdle that if we managed to pass thru, a big reward will be waiting for us, but as usual a big precious gift can't simply be rewarded without any challenges...

Deep down inside I thought that I could pass at least paper 1, I'm sure that I had answered according to the format, included all the relevant clauses, Act, section and everything..and calculated the fees and figures as per required and understood...

Anyway I've started flipping Sundra Rajoo's book on Pam Contract to set the mood and warm up the engine..eight months to go for the second time..

But you know what ..? the worst part is not the result...!! but the waiting game...its #%^*n* terrible...until today I have not received that b*o$^y letter..the Board said that they'll send a copy of my result together with my renewal form..and guess what, the form arrived safely in my postbox....and there is no sign of the result at all.....it sucks big time...why is it so hard to get the result..

At first I thought that the Pos Malaysia is the culprit and now I think I'm the one who need to send a letter to them...

To some people that letter might not be important coz it wont come with a good news, but for those who sit for that 6 hours exam, sacrificed their kids and family, money and work..that letter is damn important..yes there'll be Kertas 1:Gagal, Kertas 2:Gagal..but what the heck..we paid RM400 just to sit for that exam, RM 50 annually for membership..countless amount for classes and other expenses for that purpose...only those who've been there and done it will understand...

'Making your mark on the worls is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But its not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not to whether you avoid this failure, because you won't .Its whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere'

IBS System

Got few hours to go for the last session of PTK today..group presentation on IBS System..too technical but I'm not interested with the topics -SPK and 5S...I even don't have a clue about 5S until I came here... ;-P

I like the topic coz its something that I could 'feel', and have a clue..but the topic is broad and 'tengah panas'..will be expecting lotsa question..

And I'm still waiting for my result which the Board of 'Arrogant' Arch will send me a copy of my result...I'll make a complaint about this and about the exam questions and format...even if I failed

Maybe ada hikmah disebalik semua ni.....
