Bonjour!

Salam and Bonjour!

Alhamdulillah the two mademoiselles,the madame and monsieur have arrived in Paris!:):) It was a long 12 hrs journey..rasa tak sampai2 but the two girls were really wonderful..no complaint from them,they slept for 6 1/2 hrs and after that they made their own activities. The weather was not really good,quite a bad turbulence when we crossed the Andaman sea and India,it was shaky all the way until we were in Russia air space..as usual kalau plane dah shaky risau ajer lah atas tu. But Alhamdulillah we landed safely, immigration at Paris was really wonderful,they smiled all the way to Tia Mia and we had super smooth process.Tia and Mia couldn't hold their excitement and keep on singing the old Frank Sinatra song " I love Paris in the summer, I love Paris in the winter....." but so sweet of them when they remember to say "Alhamdulillah,Thank You Allah!"

I m actually very tired..as we arrived at 6.30 am we have to wait until 3.00 pm to check in the hotel,so we picked the disney tickets from the hotel reception, leave or luggage there we berjalan kat park tu until 3.00 pm! Aduhhhh penat nya bagi orang bukan budak2..but i promised my niece to upload some pictures for her and Uwan too..so jom tengok few gambar yang i pilih;):)


Blooms everywhere in Disney Paris:) I always love the hanging basket.


Us & the blooms.


Pink blooms.


Big pinky missies.


The pink us.


Drizzling and and had to buy them new pink  hoodies plus pink lollies:):)


Beautiful sight.


Pink and pink.


Minnie and us..the pink girls!

Until them..Salam! Uwan and everybody else  we love you!!

We gonna miss first week of Ramadhan in Malaysia.

Salam (in advance:);)) Ramadhan to all friends,sisters and brothers may you be in Malaysia or abroad. Alhamdulillah,  Ramadhan is coming in two weeks time,may all of us be blessed by Allah Swt to live with good health to enable us to perform our puasa.

As for me, Ramadhan is always one of the best month,so many things to look forward in this month and since Uwan lives with us first night bukak puasa is always at my home.We will gather to break fast together,Maghrib and then proceed to Tarawikh at the nearby masjid. It seems that this year we have to sambut our first week of Ramadhan far away from Malaysia as we will be travelling tomorrow night to Paris-Geneva- Paris and will be back in Malaysia in the second week of Ramadhan. Kalau tak travel with the whole family i surely melalak-lalak punya:):) Kak Nur; a very sweet online friend living in Paris told me yesterday that since now is Summer in Europe buka puasa will be around 10pm! SubhanAllah it's going to be a challenge!, InsyAllah and Alhamdulillah dengan peluang yang diberi Allah Swt. Looking back with so many things that happened since early January i thought i will never travel far this year, but due to work and with perancangan Allah Swt we are making this journey.

Thank you for those leaving comments and queries..will attend to it when i have opportunity, busy lah these few days so many things to settle..nak bawak dua budak kecik travel jauh macam2 check list kena buat..they  travelled 5 hours to Perth in 2010 and 8 hours to Sydney last year hopefully the 13 hours journey to Paris will be smooth..InsyAllah.

This is our advance Ramadhan Calender,Salam to everybody and hugs to all dear sisters.

We had our doa and tahlil buat semua ahli keluarga yang telah tiada last Tuesday..Alhamdulillah Uwan pun dapat baca Yassin sama2. So meaningful to me i can't help kerling kat dia sepanjang baca Yassin tu..sedap suara dia dengar:):)

Surely Uwan gonna miss these two rascals and we gonna miss Uwan a lot but we know Uwan is going to have good time in Maklang's and pashik's  house too..maklang has big garden for uwan to roam around while Pashik will sharpen uwan's mind with his non stop tazkirah:):)


This is the picture of blooms in Paris sent by Kak Nur yesterday.We will spend 3 days in Disneyland and 5 days in Paris. I look forward to go to ParisDisney with the girls as i had been there long long time ago when i was single..there's many Disneyland in this world but never thought that i could come back to the one that i ve been before with my own girls:);) Alhamdulillah.We going to meet Kak Nur too and our meeting place will be our rented apartment near Eiffel Tower.InsyAllah.

8 days in France we will be leaving to Geneva to attend Conference.I have booked TGV Lyria (fast train) from Paris to Geneva. I never been to Geneva before but have been to other part of Switzerland like Zurich ( MBA Graduation),Berne and Luzern. Moga semua nya di permudahkan.

We will be in Geneva for 11 days and I ll be attending conference during weekdays  hopefully Tia and Mia will have a great time with their papa as our apartment in Geneva will be by the lake.

We doa for a blessed journey and doa for everybody..will try to update from Disneyand, Paris and Geneva once we reach there on 7th July.InsyAllah. Salam everybody.

P.s Kalau anybody dah pernah travel Geneva we welcome tips like which is the nearest self picked apple orchard, cheese factory etc in Geneva:);)

A Kampung Life Day:)

Salam kasihredha, umiyumi,Julie Aberdeen,Anon,susumanis, Nbi, Zubye,Shamsuhada,Just megatefal,Kimi,ismarizan,Shahlin,Salmi,Aisyah Rafaei, Saniah,twin moms,Aimi Lailo,Hanis Azla, Nur 68, Fatimah,Annhuzi, potpetmama, betakupu,fiezahchommel,greetingsfromengland, Lily,Cik tudung senget dan semua.Thanks.

Yesterday we have decided not to go anywhere:):) We stayed full-time at home.Dulu2 orang mana keluar tiap minggu, kat kampung hujung minggu adalah untuk berehat,duduk bawah pokok rambutan buat penyapu dari lidi kelapa,menjahit baju yang koyak,menggembur batas sayur dan paling jauh pun ke kebun orang kampung mencari kacang panjang,ikan kolam untuk dibuat lauk.Dah masak dan makan selalunya berehat di serambi rumah atau tangga,baca suratkhabar atau makan ais krim Malaysia, petang turun ke bawah mencari pisang atau mencabut ubi untuk dibuat goreng atau pun menggentel tepung untuk buat puteri mandi:) Seronok betul,hari terasa panjang dan nyaman..semua terasa seronok:):) Uwan memang selalu buat kueh masa di kampung,tiap petang mesti ada tetamu samada saudara atau kawannya datang bertandang ,duduk di pangkin luas bawah pokok rambutan.As for me i just feel happy reading my story book under the tree or with half of my body hidden under the bed.


It is nice once a while to just stay in your bedroom with good books..do nothing but read,eat and laugh:)


So that was what the girls had been doing yesterday morning..they had fun in the bedroom.


Yeayyy i cooked my first fish head noodles:) Actually more to 'fish bone noodles' as i couldn't find good fish head at Village Grocer,so i bought jenahak bones.


Alhamdulillah everybody loves it:) To Julie yang mintak recipe here it goes: i tak ada sukatan khas semua anggaran okay. 6 cups of chicken stock,i tbs of fish sauce, 1/4 cup of evaporated milk,fish head or fishbone or fillet, ginger,onion,shallot,tomato,sour plum in a can,green mustard pickles in a can,sawi,red chili and beehoon. Rub your fish head with salt and pepper,roll in corn flour,fry until brown and set aside. In a pot,fry your thinly sliced ginger,onion and garlic and tomatoes,add in your fish stock and fish sauce,let it boil,add in 2 slice sour plum,and 1/2 cup thinly sliced picked sawi and let it simmer, drain all the veges from pot and set aside, add in your evaporated milk,,shallot,salt and pepper,don't  let it boil.You may add in your fried fish head or if you like it to crispy just add it last while serving.In a bowl put your cooked bee hoon,add the drained cooked veges, fish head,sliced chilies and pour the soup on it.Serve with sambal udang kering or cili potong with kicap. A bit leceh jugak nak buat:):) but berbaloi.


After the heavy breakfast we went out for jogging at the park near our land (with me memasang angan2) and on the way back we stop at a gerai selling all the kampung produce. And i bought manggis for the girls and to their delight i hang it just like at kampung last time.


I bought petai with big mata too:):)


And kangkung kampung (kangkung air)


Some bananas and buah binjai for air asam:)


Pisang tanduk and daun pisang are another two delightful finding.



Petang ingat nak buat buah sepang,tengok tepung pulut tinggal sikit..so buat puteri mandi ajerlah lagi pun budak2 suka.


Nampak tu kaki uwan dah datang..lepas basuh tangan siap2 kat singki luar nak gentel tepung. Actually kueh traditional ni i hardly eat, i don't like anything sweet..except for some cold dessert..the reason i am making it is to make other people happy:)



I love looking at them so happy participating..look at Uwan's face she's so happy kan:):)


So nice to just sit at the verandah petang2,borak2,gurau2 sambil gentel tepung..just like when i was small:)




I love my traditional dulang i took from kampung..cantikkan:) Tadi borak2 dengan Uwan,uwan cakap ambik lah lagi dari rumah di kampung ada banyak lagi..hee..hee nanti balik raya nak ambik lagi satu.


Hasil gentelan Uwan and cucus:)




I added tepung sagu for the look and pisang for aroma:):)


Sedappp and nyaman..habis semangkuk sorang makan:)


For dinner i cooked my own recipe, gulai perut ikan dengan kangkung kampung.Kangkung ni kena rebus dulu sebab pahit sikit and keras,dah lembut toskan baru masukkan dalam gulai mendidih,sedap rasanya sebab lemak dan lembut.


Sup cekur manis dan terung telunjuk,Mia suka rasa sup yang manis ni.


Sesekali memang nak makan goreng telur masak kicap..sedap:) i suka kicap without air,biar likat2 dan char sikit.


Alhamdulillah untuk hari yang indah,sihat,baik,aman dan damai di beri Allah Swt. Dari siang di bawak ke malam.


The girls watching You Tube at the tab..that is my place in the middle..they sediakan..so sweet of them:) Happy Monday everybody.
