Towards end of ramadan already

This sentence is always on the use in raya songs. “Pejam celik pejam celik je dah nak habis puasa dah. Nak raya dah” yes betul. Like literally today is the last day to sahur. Kat arab already pfficially announce sunday raya. So last note had our last terawih and witir lah. :) tapi kemain mengantuk ye. Tak larat betul. Tapi towards nak moreh ok je. Tak ngantuk sgt. :) yang record video si bongsu ye

Alhamdulilllah preparation raya tu mostly dah setel. Tinggal sikit2 nak kemas hall bawah, mop and vacum, pasang lampu raya, and nak masak kuah kcg and nasi impit. Lain2 basically dah setel. :) this year’s concept guna apa ada je. Ada lah baru tapi mostly like 80% pakai yang sedia ada yang masih elok lagi.

Kuih raya open order from kids

Hahaha.. finally pagi ni ada kekuatan utk start mixing tepung and stuff to bake kuih raya. This one is the house fav one. Choc chips cookies. Siap dah bancuh now duduk diam diam kejap dlm fridge sbb husband ajak teman him and mil ke pasar kejap. Ok btw, nak bake tu mlm pun boleh. Lepas ni kuih dahlia. Pastu tak tau kuih nestum or butter cookies biasa je kot.

Nasi lemak for berbuka

Since husband made a lot of sambal bawang, so i decided to make nasi lemak for berbuka puasa. Since timun pun ada half lagi utk habiskan. Telur pun ada bit this time no telur rebus. Semua nak telur mata. So easier lah for me. Goreng sikit ikan bilis and panaskan sambal daddy. Made extra cup of rice sbb rasanya kalo flavored rice tak cukup. :) alhamdulillah licin menjelang sahur. :) this time nasi dia i made a different sket whereby i tumis bumbu and beras tu sekali. :) tadaa!! 

17th ramadan - nuzul quran

Public holiday here in selangor. Alhamdulillah another day in the fasting month. Less than 2 weeks already nak raya ye. Semoga terus sihat selalu dan istiqomah. Inshaallah. :) 

15th ramadan today

Alhamdulillah. Dah 15th ramadan. Been compiling the menu for iftar tapi bengang sbb 3rd ramadan tak ingat langsung. Hadoii.. bengang je. Yang lain semua ingat. Ke kita bungkus eh? Wonder betul lah. 

Roses blooming

I noticed that since husband install pipe wire kat belakang, senang sikit nak jirus pokok kat belakang. Banyak giler jirus air kat pokok tu. Semua pokok include pokok ros. And this time dia blooming kemain banyak. Last kira ada dalam 13. Today i managed to snap few pics. Tapi roses bila dah habis bloom dia akan jatuh and pastu akan keluar new rose buds. :) 

Its 11 ramadan today

Alhamdulillah. Dah 11 ramadan. Kejap je tu. For kids yes mmg diorang rasa sebulan tu kejap. I do feel the same way when i was small. Bila dah getting older ni, tetiba tersebak pulak sebab ni dah masuk 2nd phase ye. Semoga semua sentiasa bertenaga & ceria di bulan puasa ni. Love! :)

And mlm ni moreh with the kids after postponing for few days sbb ngantuk amat. Hehehe. Dah merajuk si abang tu. 

Salam 1st Ramadan

Alhamdulillah. Another new month of ramadhan with families. Belum puasa hari tu dah start fikir menu for berbuka. Sbb itu yg penting. Plus the terawih, plus the quran reading. Inshaallah. :)

Stock up

Done stock bebawangs and barang dapur. :)

Malam tu tgk announcement 1st ramadan kat tv. Alhamdulillah to meet another year in ramadan. :)

A week of school in 2025

 Alhamdulillah. Starting with a new vision and mission this year. Zara in new school with new friends. Zayyan with same friends. Zafran ada bew and old friends coz tukar class. Semoga lebih rajin lagi dlm menuntut ilmu. Mengejar ilmu dunia & akhirat. Aaminn.

P/s: 1st day school ayan perangai. Tak nk pakai kasut baru.  Kakak afternoon session. Zafran no photo. Malu tetiba.

Ramadan is nearing

 :)

Starting to deep clean most part of the house since jan. So takde lah rasa banyak sgt nak mengemas. Tapi as usual. Kerja kemas mengemas ni mana boleh siap ye. Unless u tinggal sorang. :) 

Tinggal sliding door bawah je yg belum. Agak bercinta sikit. Plus tahun ni tak dpt nak cuci curtain lagi. So biar lah dulu. Tahun almost 4 years lah pakai langsir tu. Still look good. Cuma tu lah nak kena arrange cuci dah. Maybe after raya would do. :)

Continue - Batam 2

Only 3 days 2 nights. So it is the last morning in Batam. Pagi tu i went for their body massage at the hotel’s spa. If convert to MYR, it is only around RM40 for 1 hour. Kalau kat sini, RM100++ after massage, rasa sedap badan. Tapi kan my leg tu from butt towards leg, rasa cam sakit2 sikit lepas dipicit. I guess so sbb bnyk berjalan. Hehehehe… while massaging, husband bawak kids to the pool, to enjoy their pool before balik. So after massage kemas kemas barang semua sbb check out kul 12. Lps dah check out, kitorang gi lunch dulu kat restoran garuda before heading off to the ferry terminal. Makanan kat garuda tu yes sedap. Kids bertambah2 nasi yaa. Nanti kita dtg lagi makan indonesian food. Sedap katanya. :) tp if dtg lagi kena tambah no. Of days. Mcm tak cukup 3 hari 2 mlm. Maybe 5 hari ok kot. :) hehehe..  overall we like the stay. 

Masa nak balik tu ada a bit confusion sbb masa nak balik tu actually kena validate ticket dulu eventhough dah beli online kan. So lepas validate baru diorang bagi kita another ticket yg ada barcode. Kelam kabut jugak jadinya sbb ferry depart around 3.45 and at that time dah pukul 3.15. Lucky sempat ye. So lps ni if dtg balik tau dah kena validate ticket. Tau2 nak kena byr lagi. :) mcm sea tax lah. 

Barang2 kita beli tu takde limit. So as long as it can bawak je lah banyak mana luggage u all nak bawak. :) tp we all dah siapkan 3 bags siap2. Itu pun dah buncit ye masa nak balik. 

 

Journey back to Puteri Harbour lebih kurang 2 jam. Masa balik tu ombak & angin agak kuat. Dalam ferry pun sejuk sampai ayan berbungkus sbb sejuk mcm kepompong. :)

Alhamdulillah for the short trip. Hope to create more memories with the kids. 

Continue - Batam 1

We went for baju raya shopping here for this year. And yes if to compare back to kl jauh beza price dia. I and zara took 2 pasang each. Siap dgn tudung sekali. This time tudung ni square. Kids lain beli seluar and tshirt. And tshirt dia tebal. Zafran siap amik 4 helai, 2 seluar. Tp 1 dah pakai waktu balik. Hehehehe.. after shopping makan kat area dalam mall tu jugak. And yes food dia semua mmg sedap. Me and husband said maybe we gain weight stay sini. Lauk lunch tu sgt menarik. This time we ordered ikan gurami goreng siap dgn sambal dia (of course), ayam sambal ijo, tempe & tahu goreng, kids juices and myself teh o ais. Standby kot2 sambal dia pedas. :) licin ye semua nasi dlm bekas nasi tu and lauk pun habis. Kids punya selera makan pun alhamdulillah. Laju je. Especially abang. Kena je tekak dia tu. Zayyan pandai dah makan sambal sikit2. Cuma this time we order mineral water je for him sbb nanti juice tak habis if tak kena dgn tekak dia. Last2 dlm mall tu almost 4pm. We all terlupa sana maghrib cepat. So dah mcm nak pukul 6pm je. So rushing balik sbb nak rest and keluar for dinner pulak. 

Final night tu daddy plan bawak we all semua pegi pink beach. Dia vibe vibe ala night club. Loud music, western food and tepi laut. Angin dia sejuk yaa. Lucky pakai dress cover sampai kaki semua. :) tp stil sejuk lah. Sini pun nice food. Cabonara, pizza & burger. 

Update holiday - Batam

Unplanned for a holiday sbb mcm last minute mcm banyak benda nak setel. With zara performance and practises, mana nak setel banks, and so on. Pastu decide dgn husband ok lah. We proceed. Booked the ferry tickets by online. We took Putri Anggreni service port from Puteri Harbour, JB. The journey bukan setakat dari JB ke Batam je. Kena tengok dari first lagi. We have to travel to JB from Klang after Zara’s performance. So all the way to Tangkak Stop, i drove. Yohoo!! Dah lama beno tak long distance drive. Mcm last drive is before kahwin and that was to melaka exit tol alor gajah. And sbb itu saturday, we spent like 6 hours on the road sbb ada stretch yg jam sbb keta banyak. Accident takde. Tapi kita santai-santai je drive so itu lah betul-betul start masuk highway around 3.30. 2 kali stops. And finally sampai jb around 9.30pm dinner pun lambat. Almost 10pm. Check in one night at jb sbb nak catch ferry to batam at 11am. Kitorang breakfast siap semua and sampai tmpt ferry 1 hour before. Oklah sempat merayau kat area situ, pwgi toilet lagi. Beli kids chocolates baru gerak. Free seating inside ferry. We all duduk depan lah. Of course sebelah tingkap. The process is not that hassle. Sape2 nak bawak org tua or ada infantss or toddlers ok je naik kat puteri harbour ni. Tix price mahal sikit lah. Tp smooth process. Journey to batam took around 45min to 1 hour. Kat immigration pun sekejap je. And if u dah isi online info boleh terus pegi autogate. Takyah beratur nak cop passport kat manual counter. Alhamdulillah semua dah setel. So dah sampai indonesia! Hehehehe.. first time gi indon of course nak either jakarta or bandung. Tapi kita sampai batam dulu which is ok je. Husband kata nak repeat bawak mak dia sekali. Tp tu kena plan properly sbb capacity our car tak muat utk ke JB nnt. Kena sewa kereta apa bagai. Ok back to Batam. Kat sana we travel semua naik grab car. Every ride dia tu kalau convert duit malaysia less than rm10 for every trip. Nak ke mall, kedai makan, shops semua pakai grab. And grab dia so far so good. So dalam kereta dgr lah husband bercommunicate in indon language yang ada beberapa words tak berapa tangkap. Mostly boleh tangkap sebab banyak tengok sinetron. Hahahahaha… :)

Ganti puasa

She got like 4 more days to go. Now cuti sekolah. Ok lah. Ask her to cover up mana boleh still boleh melepak kat rumah. Tido kalau letih. Kalau dah sekolah nnt sibuk with classes and activities. So far alhamdulillah. :) active mcm biasa siap nyanyi sampai melalak dgn zayyan. :) 

Welcome february

Been busy since last weekend. Today ada relax sikit. Tp still kena continue spring cleaning yg stop sbb pergi holiday with family. :) tadi start with bilik zara balik sebab rasa mcm so dusty lah. Kenapa eh bilik rasa berhabuk. Rasa mcm baru vacum baru2 ni. Maybe kena mop lagi sekali kot. Semoga kekal istiqomah. 

Doing some spring cleaning

Not really some but more of the whole house spring cleaning. Eventually there were minor renovations happened at my house.  To install wardrobe and to replace the kitchen tabletop. Paling lama amik masa is of course the kitchen part sbb dia involves piping. The replacing of tabletop dah setel on that day itself. Piping to sampai a week baru setel. Tp tu pun tak berani nak simpan macam macam bawah sink. Still monitoring if ada bocor lagi ke tak. Bukan lah banyak bocor nya. More of dripping satu titik satu titik. Tapi of course if lelama nanti melarat and tak pasal2 base kayu bawah tu pun kembang lagi. Last saturday dah setel part dapur, buang mana yg tak pakai. Susun balik those periuk and pans kat dlm cabinet yg dah boleh pakai. Yaay! Bawah sink je biar lapang. Senang nak check. 

Wardrobe still belum puas hati kemas myside. And comel nya ada baju zayyan dah move in dlm wardrobe kitorang. Hahaha.  Reason being nak sama room dgn mummy dan daddy. Kemas kemas this part dah ada dalam 6 bags nak send recycle. Belum habis kemas lagi ni. Bilik zafran basically setel. Bilik zara yes ni kena menghadap satu hari lagi. Now kat hall atas ada lagi 1 box kena unboxing. Tu pun baju kecik kida masa baby. 

And the last part is part buku2 and kertas yg rasanya mcm ishh.. bercinta nak mengemas.  Tp inshaallah within this school holiday jugak lah. Sbb bnyk nak kemas lagi. 

To be continued. :)
