Life starts AT 30 1/2 with more surprises

Our cutest 3rd Edition.

2010-02-26T01:05:00.000-08:00

Mummy is all handful ever since the birth of our new baby BOY.!before he came, Mummy was having a great gastronomical feast with Ayah the week he was supposed to be out..really put on a big appetite when having someone to dine with.

Mummy's 1st contraction only happened just after midnight on the 25th December 2009, (YEP!! a christmas baby)..Mummy kissed me n brother, she asked me to say a prayer for her and the baby.. mummy couldn't bear,and shattered teardrops before she left. soon after they reached the hospital at exactly 1.55am, our new baby boy was safely arrived.

We waited for their return by the door, mix of emotions, but definitely pure joy and excitement..mummy and ayah decided to name him Md. Fakhrey Wazien, represent the 3rd letter from their name..We fell in love with him instantly..

Another brief departure

Our beautiful princess

The 2nd painful departure (26/09/09)

I know it's been ages since mummy entered this blog..and it's been 6 weeks since Ayah left for Bradford to continue his 2nd year..it's more sadder this time after spending half a year with Ayah in Bradford,the four of us were inseparable..Sadly, we're not to be destined to join him at this moment.

After weeks of sorrowness and despair, mummy had the urge to update this blog just to show how ''fine" we've all been doing. Weeks past by with Mummy keeping us busy over the weekend..Kaka will be at school every after noon while Zeidan will spent most his time with mummy at home..he used to joined a playgroup when Ayah is around.

It surely was unbrearable not to have Ayah around anymore especially that Mummy is heavily expecting our new edition.

It was Easter holiday, Ayah n Nurryn has 2 weeks off from hectic school life..and the holiday that Mummy been looking forward in ages ...We all boarded a flight to Paris on 7th April 2009,in Jet2 budget aircraft..The journey took 1 hr 20mins from Leeds Bradford airport to Charles-De-Gaulle Airport..

We arrived at Mummy's goodfriend Aunty Filah apartment @ Rue De Leonard Da Vinci around 9.00 pm...the sun has just set in at around 8.00 pm, it's a longer day time in Spring..n warmer than Bradford..its the first time we were sweating out!!

River cruise

The next day we went on foot,exploring the city. The city was just beautiful, and it is a nice weather, except for few mild drizzle..Our big day is of course the day we went to Disneyland..Mummy was excited, ecstatic all in all delighted to be there..Except for Nuryn, who was terrified of Mascot..So it wasn't a good start, but she composed herself gradually..We stayed under the heat for more than 6 hours , and it was surely a dream come true...

With Fila infront of Arc De Triomphe

The rest of the week was spent touring around the city, eating, and bit of shoppping, going up to the magnificent Eiffel tower, get on a cruise boat. Being in the city is a much needed break of scenery.. Hope we can get to travel to more beautiful places in future with less intolerance mood from our little angels..

The World of Flower Tots Garden

2009-03-11T04:17:00.000-07:00

THE moment that Nuryn had been long waited for, one of her endless dreams come true..Meeting Fifi from the Flower garden..All the cast were there, from Primrose,Violet, Bumble, the naughty Stingo and his sadly batterred Slugsy..and the chattery Clairy the fairy..

WE left Bradford for Halifax(neighbouring province) just after lunch, went to the The interchange and hop on our trusted National Express Train..It only cost about 4 pound per pax, since it's considerably near..Arrived at Halifax moments later , (13 minutes)to be precised..

The show starts at 2.00pm, and we had ample of time to buy tickets, snacks and take few shots inside the magnificent Victoria Theatre..Nuryn was anxious from the thought of meeting the real Fifi, and repeated questions as "Is she BIG?"coz she is a kid who's scared of Mascots..But when the theme song piereced through the air, we were all in awed,. she was HUGE alright, compare to the Fifi that we see from the TV screen..But,her presence and the beautiful sets overclouded Nuryn's anxiety..Zeidan was behaved for the first time ever..Both eyes were transfixed and didn't blink ..

We took a walk on the way back to the train station, Since it was a Sunday, all the shops are closed except for cafe and restaurant..It is quite a scenery, and pleasant hill view..

The 1 1/2 hours show was a real treat for another awesome weekend in the country..

Baking in Blooming

First sight of flower sappling

Zeidan blossoming like the season

Never would have anticipated the feeling of content when the SUN showed up..Yes, after months of dark, chilly weather now the whole landscape is bright and clear. The blaring sun didn't even burn a layer of satisfaction..it's the most welcoming warm feeling in a cool place..Yes, it's definitely Spring in the air.

Nuryn is trying different shapes

Nuryn and Mummy occupied themselves so much in the kitchen and experimented with things we never tried before, Baking!!We baked brownies, cup cake, cookies and mouth-watering chicken pie..Nuryn was full of wit and enthused through out the process..Mummy is sure lucky to receive a little help around the house...There's noithing worth doing for a school break, since Nuryn is a bit under the weather. Proud with her creation

She made it a smooth process with constant interruptions of going back and forth to the sink to wash her hands for a hundred time..She couldn't let her hands get dirty that's for sure!!

Meanwhile , Mummy is trying to convince Zeidan to give up his "kopek" aka pacifier..but, it turns out it made a monster out of him and attacked Mummy with one of his damp wet, slimy with drool "kopek" and shoved it in Mummy's mouth..Sure, that's enough reasoning with a 2 year old boy.

Zeidan: "There! if it's comforting for me, than it will for u too Mummy"

Mummy: "What have I done to deserve this stinky punishment?"

Wintery Moments..

2009-02-14T10:54:00.000-08:00

A quick rendezvous

On Monday , 1st February magic happens..Thick lumpy snow fall from the black sky..Psyched, it snowed..we embrace the moment with full of joy..and Nuryn wast the happiest of all..Zeidan couldn't understand the weather changes at first, but once he started to feel the icy snow flakes he couldn't stop wanting for more..We took a stroll down the street the next day, mesmerised, and breathless for the town had transformed into a beautiful white village .Everyhting looks white and pure..love it though it was difficult to get the stroller through the pavement..

Before After

Nuryn went to school as usual where other schools were forced to close down, and then she returned home with her exciting stories of snow fighting and built a snow man with her friends. Mummy was so pleased that she had that memory locked and carried in her tender age. We had a full swing activity till night falls in..More snow fights, and sleighing with Ayah's friends..it was the best time of all,more snow shower and more chilly we get actually..but we didn't falter, instead we stayed out and enjoy the the best time..

Nuryn the "snow angel"

Hot and cold

At the end of the week the weather is ever changing, one moment it snowed and the next was bright sunny..Another breathtaking view to engulf..But surreal to swallow..at the end of the week, it started to melt. During lunch time, when there's only the two of us at home, Mummy and Zeidan grab the camera and headed to the park, snapped some pictures and grasps every little bits of snow left on earth..and chasing pigeons like a hungry baby jaguar..

ONE Fun day at School

2009-02-01T16:37:00.000-08:00

It was a fun-filled afternoon for our little man, Zeidan spent at least 2 hours in the Nursery Lister Primary School on Monday afternoon.. The teachers are nice and friendly, and the kids are overwhelmingly warm and helpful around Zeidan.. but he on the other hand, had his own world evolving round him with the abundance of toys and educational tools..

Mummy really wanted to bring him out of the class-room so he could experience the cart wheel, and play catch with the other kids but he was too self-involved with making his dough of cookies..

We end the trip with mild hesitation to go home, and it's about the same time that Nuryn had finished her class..we took a walk through the park on the way home.it was the most fruitful afternoon for all of us indeed.

Lincoln Castle

Lincoln Cathedral

FIRE!
This is our 1st trip with Bradford University. At first, Ayah hesitated to join but with constant persuasion he obliged to Mummy's plea. It was a beautiful sunnny Saturday morning, Nuryn and Zeidan especially has been giving full cooperation from the start until almost towards the end.

We were scheduled to meet infront of the Uni at the city, at 9.00 am..the coach departed at 9.30 and thus we embark to Lincoln that is 2 hours away from Bradford. For the first time, we witnessed the county scenery up close and personal. It was a spectacular view, with arrays of green field along the road.

At about 12.15 pm we reached our destination, and start exploring at pur own pace. passengers were dropped infront of the Cathedral, the 3rd largest in England and it is used to filmed Da Vinci's Code to replace Westminister Abbey...

Right at the back of the Cathedral is the 900 years old Lincoln Castle. Nuryn was psyched with the thought of meeting a real beautiful princess in the castle..haha..

So we've explained to her that it's a very old castle and that they "moved" to a new castle and can't be disturbed because they are busy..after exploring the castle for a whole hour we had a quick lunch at the cafe, and resumed our journey outside..Did get a bit lost, so we took the bus instead to go to the marina in the city..

At the Marina, we spent the whole afternoon milling around, going in and out of shops..walking down the cobbled streets feel like we're acutally living life in the medieaval era..The city is really beautiful and you can tell that alot of history events have taken place. We left Lincoln at 5.30 pm, overwhelmed with pride. Looking forward for the next trip...

Nuryn's 1st day at school

2009-01-19T14:24:00.000-08:00

Looking Excited in her Smart attire

On the 2nd week, we finally got her a place at Lister Primary School... Nuryn has been pestering Mummy to send her to school, guess her holiday mood just perished like the wind..We head to Lister Primary School on Saturday for registration, and after a quick interview we had a little tour ..and to Mummy surprise, the FREE school, has the same standard as Internatinal School back in Brunei...It has learning environment that will trigger little minds for thirst of knowledge, Mummy was stunned!and the food catered are all halal, after all majority of the pupil are muslim.

Following week, Morning Rush began...toasted Bagel for the road, bags ready! now waking the sleeping princess, hmm will it be hard like last year??So, Mummy showed her new skirt when she's half awake, the moment she saw it, she jumped gleefully out of bed and dash to the washroom.She didnt even want to be late for her first day..Phew, we're on time!!

Mummy was anxious herself, coz its her first time ever being departed from her little princess since we got here..it was hard to swallow at first, like a lump in the throat..but, seeing Nuryn's bright and happy face in the class swept all the worries and anxiety..Mummy let go her most precious darling hesitantly to the teacher, and walked back home..She is in the hand of righteous people for 5 1/2 hours..sigh, that's an awfully long period of time ..

Nearest Shops like pharmacist, restaurant etc

Uphill street

A mile walk uphill used to be Mummy's training ground, but here the gustling cold winter wind makes it physically strenuous to succumb, especially when Mummy had to push 20+kg Nuryn on her stroller.. Good thing Mummy's is scheduled to walk her to school twice a week, after Ayah has to put some weight too, but he prefers to use taxi instead.

After school at the school playground

Meanwhile at home, Zeidan is having quite a time with his own "home-learning"..He knows when and how to "help"out Mummy, whilst making the day more fullfilling..

Dress up or down?

Face painting?

"Following the leads"

This is the only way Zeidan would come down.

Smitten*

It was a snail start of the new year for Mummy and us,..1) Ayah is in a revision mode,which was overdue..2) We stayed home while he's out from morning till evening..During this time the house has turned into a play Battle ground for Nuryn and zeidan,.As if there aren't any toys available, they turn sofa into trampoline, kitchen cutleries to musical instrument, bed room to play ground,..SIGH!!where do all the energy come from , and they can last for 12 hours,that's half a day, 7 times a week!!Alas, to the park we go!

"Where are you Kaka?"

On the 6th day, Mummy brought us to our own Lister park , just 5 minutes walk from our place..It is recently voted as Britain's Best Park, it has 3 acre Victorian boating lake that is also a sanctuary for our friendly neighbours the "waddling quackers", a beautiful fountain at the Mughal garden, and an Art Gallery (soon to be discovered)..

The moment we entered the park, eyes were automatically transfixed at the playground and the sound of children playing their own battle ground..actually it's Nuryn's 3rd visit, but Zeidan 1st ever..Having brother around gives more cheers and fun.yehee..

Aye..aye Captain what do u see down there?..

The playground is divided into 2 area, the bigger kids and the toddler and Cute young kids..It has a pirate ship in the middle of the park, and few swings, and slides and other rocking object...so great!We spent a good one hour at the park, eventhough our hands were numb ages ago.

A familiar sound made Nuryn looked away, and it came from the lake..Flocks of pigeons , geese were surrounding a lady whose feeding them.Nuryn abandoned the ship and dashed to join the "crew"..She was offered bread by a nice man, so she can feed them like she always wanted..Zeidan didn't let this opportunity pass and so he too was enjoying the feast giving..

Mummy was loving this moment so she took some pictures of us in one hand , whilst grabbing our hands on another at the same time.She then gave up as brother get too excited to meet his new friends...

A friendly hello "QuuaaK'

A new friend liking the treat. "Hello, waa waa wa..quack..roar.."

Time to go home,sit back n enjoy the ride!!

As easy as a walk in Hyde Park

London day 2

The pathway to Hyde Park

Happy above hundreds feet high

THE next day Mummy proposed to go the "winter wonderland" at Hyde Park..This was also partly to sweeten Nuryn who cried when she saw the Ferris wheel yesterday.

It was quite a long walk,but the calming views managed to distract our aching toes. Ayah had to carry brother when he wanted to run freely. Poor nuryn has been walking for the past 5 blocks,and everytime we crossed the road she would say"'I'm too tired".. breathlessly..But she jumped off the stroller when she saw flocks of pigeons at the Marble Arch.
Aerial View from the car
Once we reached the place, the atmosphere deviated.it was pact and noisy. We made our way directly to the line,and the ticket for an adult is 7 pound,while children 4.50..it's worth the every penny,coz we didn't waited that long as they can accomodate 5-6 "cars" at a time and it spun for more than 20 minutes.

We enjoyed the meeting with our quacking & waddling friends: geese,ducks and pigeons.Zeidan gave the traditonal human to birds greeting,with his foot . Zeidan bonds instanly with mother goose
He can't help himself

We did'nt expect to see pigeons at this area..but,Nuryn get too scared when they're too many of them.

There are other fun rides , but we didn't want to try..the lines are endlessly long and beside the ferris wheel topped it all off. Then there's that invigorating smell breaking the air,it punctured Mummy's sense of smell: it came from a booth nearby,hot, soft and tasty pretzel were freshly fried,n yes we took a big bite before heading home..it did'nt occur to Mummy that our hands turned purple-blue after spending two hours outdoor..And Brother, started to feel agitated and restless..So,walking back home was a little bit challenging was not as easy as a walk in the park..

yummy sugary pretzel

Getting inside the car was like a dream come true for Nuryn

London Day 1 (12:oo noon)

OUR detour this time took us to London, before sending Mak Chu to Brunei, we took this oppportunity to catch a taste of London from higher ground; from rooftop of a bus. Mummy didn't expect London would be too cold so we were dressing little lighter than usual..Bbrrrrrr...

Looking for the bus was a Breeze, but we did get a bit lost

We ended hopping on 2 buses, the red and blue line..
It was a good start , we had light breakfast before we left the apartment though we missed the change of guard at the Buckingham Palace at 11am..Brother really got the attention as usual, and this always put a hold on things. After walking 4 blocks, we reached the Marble Arch and there were tour bus waiting along the road. Feeling confused on which bus to 'hop-on' we just got the bus right infront of us, the Blue line. The tour brought us to the high end street of London such as the Millionaires Street, Harrods at knightsbridge, Peter pan statue, Science Museum and other beautiful condos..
Mummy's secret hotel at Paddington road
Taking a break at Starbuck cafe
The piercing wind was just unbearable, that Mummy deciced to 'hop-off' at NOwhere, and decided to get inside Starbuck to get warm. We had good latte and chocolate to calm brother and he was the reason we had to get down,..He was frantically screaming his head off, probably couldn't handle the weather. About 40 minutes later, we 'hop on' another bus, the same route and completed the tour. As we arrived at Marble arch we looked for Red line the tour that we actually wanted to 'hop-on'.

More people get onboard this bus,coz it brought us to the famous landmarks in London,such as Tower of London, River Thames, Madame Tussauds, Trafalgar Square, London eye, Big Ben, Parliament house, Westminister Abbey and other statues that Mummy could not remember. But we remember witnessing the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street and Bond Street.Sales sign were on every window shops, heard it was the craziest ever in century. This tour took full 2 hours, where it landed us to sit at the lower deck on the next hour.
The queue on this was more than half mile, advance ticket is strongly advisable

Chaotic Bond Street
Big Ben

London Eye "I want to go ferry's wheel uwaaa.."

The tour finally ended at around 4 pm, and by this time the sun was setting and vanishing at the horizon. The next place to go was of course the Restaurant, Luckily, brother was sleeping towards the end coz it started to get freezing cold..Mummy resent for not wearing extra layers when we were out for 4 hours flat..Never under estimated the weather...

Make a wish my pretty boy

HAPPY 2nd Birthday to our Sweet Boy, May always be a healthy happy boy under the protection of Allah..Amiiin.. My boy who haven't yet understood the meaning of birthday celebration and insisted to throw him a l'il surprise once we reached London. On 28th December 2009, at exactly 12 noon we left home to catch a train Leeds station, and we continue our long journey to London which took about 2hrs 45 minutes to reach Kings Cross Station in London..It was getting dark when we reached the station at around 4.pm that evening. We headed straight to Mummy's cousin's apartment at Richmond Apartment, Oxford Street..Surprisingly Mummy's other cousin was there greeting us,Uncle Saiful and his girlfriend Kaka Yasmin. His mother is Nini Boy's little sister (Uncu) and they gave us a warm welcome with mouth watering hot, delicious meal .how nice and thoughtful..It was really unexpected, and Mummy hasn't seen him for years...An added bonus is his girfriend was darn sweet to bake Zeidan a cake for his l'il party.

The presence of warm loving family members, however small it's still meaningful

These are the guests for our l'il birthday who turns 2

Eventhough u haven't express verbally, but you sure have touch our senses through you're cunningly humorous actions..Love you two dearly..

The Tale of 2 Cities in 2 weeks

2008-12-20T11:38:00.000-08:00

Leeds City

Inside the Magnificent Victoria Quarter, Leeds.

Our 2nd home, Lister Court, 19 Cunliffe Road.

What's this boy up to now huh?

Leeds City for a quick stroll..It took us around 20 minutes by train to get to Leeds city from Bradford Foster Square station..Too bad, it was pouring when we arrived, but the crowds were still swarming the streets like little ants crawling for work..Guess drops of rain doesn't stop their endeavour at all. Poor Nuryn and Zeidan had to endure this with only a small umbrella, and there's no point when we had to walk in an open street and wind came blowing right on!!

We didn't take that many picture of the city due to this, but we had a good time eating and shopping..We went to Dixy chicken, now we can taste the real Peri-peri sauce,splendid indeed!!

Manchester City

GOING to Manchester was not our initial plan. But , we had to deliver some of Mummy's cousins stuff from Brunei here instead of going to Norwich..So, we did and it took us about an hour by train from Bradford Interchange Station to Victoria Station with only 19 pounds for 3 adults and a child..That's the beauty of purchasing your ticket in advance, online!!..good job Ayah!!Once we reached the station we were being greeted by two friendly faces, Mummy's cousin and her friend who was very nice and charming he is..we walked passed the city, where we saw alot of street performers who many had reached stardom in the show biz..

Then we hopped on a bus to the Trafford centre, the biggest shopping malll in town..the bus ride took another 30 minutes or so, and there Mummy's eye start to popped out to witness the arrays of shops and stores.. WOW, just so breathtaking she thought silently...

Watch out you're my NEXT shopping haven

Just passing by Old Trafford Stadium, sorry not a big fan of football..Manchester Eye

Mummy's l'il cousin who goes to Manchester University

First, we pop in tonnes of balls, it works like a sucking vacuum cleaner

Then it followed plastic tubes and flopped on this thing, where u pull a trigger and it landed back to where it came from..Need someone with Physic to explain this!sigh!We had a BALL in the Child centre called Chere, just next to Nando's where we had our lunch..we ended calling the day after fully combing and scaling the stores from one end to another..Just to get the sweet aroma of shops and shoppers buzzing around!!

Week 1

In the ferry's wheel aka Bradford eye

Strolling down the city

Our winter food

It's our 1st week in Bradford, and the weather is always cold and chilly..Kids love it, we love it though it can be painful when u stand out far too long..

Bradford is a small town and practically quite..Mummy on the other hand , is adjusting to the smaller place and thirst for shopping..It's purely her thing to shop at any deals she can get eventhough the prices are doubled here due to our currency exchange of approximately

BND$1 = 2.20pounds...

Everytime we leave the house, Mummy will ensure that kids are well dressed..Hat, scarf, gloves, winter jacket,fleece jacket are the main gears that could still be a challenge for Mummy and Ayah..Oh well, it takes time to adjust to a new habitat!

Our very first trip was of course grocery store Tesco...We get around the places by taxis and bus..Not our ritual back home, but it's a breeze and convenience though!!The fares for each trip ranges from 3-4 pounds..still cheap and everywhere is within 5-10 minutes distance.

There's a park called Lister Park nearby, butcher house and pharmacist are also within walking distance.It is surely indeed a stategic living area..

Having coffee and pasty at Bradford interchange..

The house that needs to be cleaned up but will only maintain its structure for barely 30 minutes or less..
Little help from the messer himself..

Looking happy at departure hall in Dubai, leaving for London

Thursday, 4th Dec 2008, 8:15 pm...

Time to leave my family and friends to join my other half for a new adventure in England. we landed at Dubai ariport 8 hours later, 4.30 a.m Dubai time. Did'nt have much time, but to change Zeidan and ready to catch the next connecting flight.

Just when we're ready to take off, the aeroplane came to a halt..Technical diffculties..we watied for update from the captain , feeling anxious and miserable for we've been dreading in our seat for mroe than 3 hours.. everytime announcement break the air, my hear stopped..Then the final annoucement , the UNthinkable, we had to disembark the plane at 7a.m.and hopped on a no-seat bus, argh!!kids are restless, infact they were still sleeping when we moved them. And the weather was cold!

Friday, 5th Dec , Story of our life

At the arrival terminal, we waited with patiently but somehow it really tested mine..There were no food or drink offered, and we're stranded like some fugitive..kids are feeling agitated coz from my watch they haven't eaten a proper meal for more than 12 hours..Finally, a representative told us to aboutt he situation, there were 2 options..1) To fly with emirate at 4.p.m. same day or 2) Fly with RBA at 2.a.m. As much was I wanted to see my other half, i chose to fly with RBA considering that they are few Bruneains on board with us..OUr saviuor of course these two ladies, they've been very concern about us especially the kids. They are like our guardian angel who look after our well-being..

Heart-warming Saadatena Abdullah n her kind niece Nurul, who make everything possible

At the arrival terminal for 3hours

Can feel their excitment after a long morning at the airport..

Inside a bus heading to Flora Creek Apartment in Dubai

The hotel provided us rooms and food.It's a blessing at least to have place for them to rest and clean up..We also didn't miss a chance to go to the mall of Emirates, and it was spectacular..hundreds boutiques, 2 department stroe and ski dubai all under one roof.. although excited it didn't stop my mind thinking about the agony of being stranded and scared about what to come.

A glimpse of Burj Al Arab

Delicious meal for dinner before take off

Our dinner fillet Mignon

Living room

After dinner, a bus picked us at 11.30 pm to the airport..the next road block is to get us all seats on RBA, our very own national carrier who didnt bother to booked us any seats. My GOD!!Have they forgotten about their responsibilities..Only few of us had thier seats available,we tried to push hard and negotiate but they only have seat for the two ladies, myself n kids but not my sis-inlaw and other 7 Bruneians.I can't leave her and knowing this I burst into tears and start questioning god..Why does this all happen to us, i asked for more strength to succumb this..The nice ladies however, sacrifice their seats to join us and fly with emirates witht rest of BRuneains and we have one hour before the next flight..

Saturday, 6th Dec 1.300a.m. Dubai

We hopped on to another bus in the cold and windy morning to the Emirates terminal. The adrenaline just keep on pumping, the staff forgotten to bring along paper document to acknowledge our transfers from RBA to emirates..We still started to feel agitated and depressed..Poor Zeidan tucked on Mummy's arm for a long 3 hours not knwoing what's goin on..Nuryn has been a superstart for being abnle to cope with all this, but it;s still unfair to them not to my kids my precious..Their sleep deprived, restless, tired, jet lag etc...and all Ican tell her is we're going to see Ayah very soon..She looked as if she can't wait much longer but she's really a star..

warm n cosy in Mummy's arm

At the Emirates terminal, for another hour

As soon as we get our names checked in, we rushed to the passport checkpoint and to my despair Nuryn does'nt have her boarding pass. Without hesitation Nurul rushed back to the check in counter and dash back again to get Nuryn's boarding pass...We have at least 15 minutes before take off, and it's a long run inside the terminal..Everyone ran hysterically, panting without breath afraid that we'll miss the flight..We reach the point in less than 6-7 minutes and its 10 minutes to take off!!It turned out that check point is still pact with other passengers, which is a great relief..

back to back entertainment, all aired at the same time

Nuryn is not camera friendly lately

Saturday, 6th Dec, 3.45a.m. Dubai

We took off behind schedule, but what the heck we're all on board and going to London at last
Nuryn is just so glorious, seeing her Ayah.

At 7.50 a.m we touch down at Heathrow Airport London..

Upon arrival the Unthinkable thing happened again, what a jinx I might say..We lost ALL our luggage..5 bags, 2 boxes and a stroller..And we're the only passengers who experience this. At this point I couldn't bear at any more, tears streamed down my face and left the area to see my better half..The person that I've been longing to see..The most precious item in our lugga is Zeidan n Nuryn like ppwder..In London, we stayed at my cousin's place for the night.

Sunday, 7th Dec, 3.a.m.

Kids had their good sleep after the whole catasthrope, Nuryn had 12 hours sleep and woke up at 3.a.m. followed by Zeidan an hour later.Through out our journey, we're blessed and thankful that we arrived safely..and extra thankful for not having to carry our luggae.

The journey took three taxis and 2 trains, starting from airport to Cousin's house, then taxi again to Kingston Station..We catch 11.15 a.m. train to reach Leeds Station whick took 2hour 15 minutes before interchange to Bradford, which took another 10 minutes.

IN the train going to Foster Square, Bradford

4.30 p.m. we reached the place our home for the next 6 month..Miracle happen..we receive a text from delivery express saying that our luggage will be arriving in hour time..Alhamdullillah, our pain and burden just subsided when receiving this message..

Finally, it;s a blessing in disguise for my husband..not having to carry all these all the way from London..

After what had happen, it really wasn't a great start for me and the kids, but I believe that things happen for a reason...only HE knows..

AT last, the long awaited week has arrived..Why? Coz we're going to see our loving Ayah in United Kingdom..Yey..Boy, have we got alot to do before we go..There's been so many activities in the last week, starting from preparing documents like passport to a 'nice' walk to the park..Having to sustain too much energy, Mummy pull off evertyhing with pride.

Mummy has been weather spying every afternoon, and when 1 afternoon luck is on her side..She rushed back home to bring us to tasek lama...It was considerably late, but she's persistent to bring afraid that they won't be another chance..Nuryn was almost running for marathon to keep up with Mummy's stampede mode..But She enjoyed it every step. Zeidan on the other hand, enjoy his mini cruise inside the stroller..We can only stay about 1o minutes, for it was alrady getting dark..Pray it won't rain..

Somebody was not ready to leave..

Yes teacher..

This is just a few shots on the little teacher at work..Nuryn just love to teach and be taught..SHe love it more when she get to direct her 'little' student, who's actually 4 years older than her..Her face will gleamed with satisfaction everytime she get to be the fastest.

Mummy went down to see our atuk down in KB. We had initial plan to pay visit too, but due to our limited time and flu break, Munny decided to give us a rest at home..Don't worry, we'll see her again when we return.

Visit at My dear beloved Nini's house..

Atuk's house, Mummy grew up here since she was about my age.

I like to MOVIE MOVIE, Move It...

Still have time to catch a movie. It has become a routine for this little Movie buff..

Our little STAR

Our little princess 1st concert, the moment that we've waiting for the whole year..Sadly, Ayah was not there to witness Nuryn, he really wished that he was there..

The Van Gogh Nursery class 2008, were among the little stars that night..It was held at Manggis mall, Friday 21st Novemebr at 7.00p.m. Though it was pouring heavily, it didn't even stopped us to take a detour at the saloon for Nuryn hairdo earlier on..

We were just in time for the first show, the first performance was from pamper group age 2-3 years where they represent the world and its continent..My little cousin's son was one of them dressed in a lion costume representing Africa..

There were twist and shout group from Nursery class, Cheerleader squad with Mickey Song, Angels theme with Alphabet song, Chinese troops, Bollywood dance from KG class,violin performance by the principal herself with her son, and finally the graduating class all dressed in red and white prom attire for an ever heart beating High School Musical dance. Everyone pull out their best show, performances were vibrant yet amusing , and Mummy's jaw dropped with amazement to have seen all the little people acting confidently on stage at a very tender age.

This doesn't exclude our very own little star, we're all so proud of her..Enjoy the show folks..

Happy 19th Uda Queena

2008-11-24T05:04:00.000-08:00

It's another birthday celebration..We had a little gathering at one of the restaurant in Tg.Bunut..Uda turned 19th and still wothout a valid driving license..Uda is Mummy's little clon sister coz there's too much resemblance, even nini had few mixed up identifying them..But of course Mummy is the fairest of all..

Of course having to celebrate another birthday this month, Uda was not at all surprise when the cake arrived. But it was the best cake ever ordered from DQ...

Our little Overweight champion

Can anyone believe that Nuryn is considered overweight by the doc..Yeap she is, proven by the scale with 20.2kg. The doc said that her size is equivalent to a 6 yr old American girl..What have mummy been feeding u, my dear child...food of LOOOOVEEEEEE...

For my little angelic boy, he is also improving in the "hyperness skill" rather than verbal skill...Mummy brought them to T.K Chan clinic for Nuryn cough problem, and at the same time accompanying Auntie Faizah n Yayan for his little poopoo problem..Hard to catch the picture of them both, since they're invading the place in peace..

Nini's greatest GIFT

Nini have found a cute miniaturetelekong for Nuryn and it fits her perfectly..As soon as we got there, Nini was already ecstatic about the telekong and urge Nuryn to try it!tShe did amazingly, followed Nini to perform Isyak prayer wihtout hesitation..Alhamdulillah....

Dressing down with Zeidan

Digging treasures is one of the activity kids love to do, including my own.. Whenever they are at Nini's house..They would go through funny hats, clothes, shoes and not forgetting Swimsuits..I just hope Zeidan was impersonating a wrestler in those pink spandex..

Acting 'Surprise' as usual...

It's another b'day bash that we all go and have some decent family dinner..This time it's for our annoying, fun little auntie-Mummy's youngest spoilt sister,..We all came, except for brother who's a bit under the weather..

Nuryn was fast asleep on the way to the restaurant, but slowly reemerge not wanting to miss out the commotion..We had a pleasant night and great food at Millenium restaurant.

Detour @ Nini house

We haven't been sleeping over at nini house,.. We had the opportunity to spend few days, before we leave next month..plus our house is under a minor renovation at the playroom toilet..So, it was kind of noisy and cluttery to be around those contractors..

Nuryn had a lesson on the scooter, she's a very cautios every minutes..She even reminded the young aunties that she's afraid to fall..but not to Zeidan , he went to the top..with only a mere motor ability he tried to take over the wheel..hmmmph..

Still in stage one after 30 mins...

What goes around ComeS around

Yummmy Parisian Macarons...This is the lady who gave us the sweet treats..credit should go to my amah, who foudn her handphone at a parking lot in Kiarong..She brought the handphone home, and totally forgotten to tell me..While my mum is in her room, sounds kept coming from my carry bag..minutes later, she found out that a nokia phone was making that noise..The lady came to rescue her phone after hours of searching..

Thanks for the treats!!

IT's a Jungle out there

Swimming in a pool of balls
One of Nuryn n Zeidan favourite place is Jungle gym, it's an indoor amusement playground where children can actively sweat out for 2 hours.. It has a battle zone, ball house, army-like obtstacle, slides, hanging bridge and many more..Wow, that place is one of its kind in BRunei..

Mummy would usually go in too (at least 30 min)could stand the height limitation inside it.It's also one of her favourite place to forget life as an adult..A good place to let off some steam right!..hekhkeh...good thing her weight and size is still managebale to get inside the "deep jungle"..

Need to charge abit of energy with coffee

Just look at this little fella, determine to climb..but will cry MAAA for help!

The aftermath, it was a good 2 hour exercise..

After shower and nenen, Zeidan just went straight to bed till the next morning...Must have been a hard days work for him...

These are such a PERFECT moment for us, wish to hv a BETTER camera hint*hint*

Its a WET n Musical weekend

2008-10-30T05:50:00.000-07:00

Less than 4 weeks = 34 days

It's the wettest season round this time of year.The late sunday was totally unplanned that we're goin to see a movie ..Mummy told Nuryn about a new movie "High School Musical 3" and she went psyched..Unfortunately, we didn't expect that we had to "swim through" our way to Empire cinema..Since it'd been pouring heavily the roads are flooded up to 5metres high..Mummy was praying and wishin that our carriage Mazda 3 would overcome the four different streams that's in our way.. Nuryn thought that we really went into a river, and the car could turn into a boat ride..She was taking this non-seriously though..whihc was not funny at that times...Mummy was trembling every second.

This car look familiar..hmph...

It was very deep, and there's no way we could turn back..

After the last streams which was before Katimahar, Nuryn managed to settle down quietly n slowly she doze off..This act was never anticpated before..One minute she was screaming , the next she would just shut her system,,Hmmmm,,weird huh!!

Finally , we all arrived the cinema where Nuryn was still half aware of her well being..She was scared of the actual human size posters at first , but felt more excited to watch the film when we bribe her pop corn..

This is her favourite character sophie from MAMA MIA movie..since Mummy bought her the dvd, she's been watching and practicing her vocal with ABBA song..Mama Mia...Here we go again, my my how can i resist him...

Purely having a wet n musical time that sunday..

We're still caught by flood on the way back home,but it had subsided slowly..but this time Mummy had change the "water rides" to our SUV's hehkehe...

Sisterly LOVE

2008-10-25T06:28:00.000-07:00

This is just a breath taking moment for Mummy, watching Nuryn n Zeidan grow bigger every morning..The bed is transformed into their playground, they'll jump on each other and laugh their heart away having nothing to worry. Mummy on the other hand will always be the victim of horse back riding. Wish Ayah can share this everyday...

Nuryn is slowly picking up responsibility as a BIG sister or Kaka..She insisted to give brother a bath..Zeidan just stood still like a lamppost while kaka was shampooing his hair, but Mummy started to rinse he did what he would always do SCREAM!!

She even taught thim how to steer a boat out of plastic basket, and go Row row row your boat gently down the stream..Didn't actually give them any problem to be in a good team spirit rowing down the stream.

But brother the mischief will always go overboard. He took an even bigger basket and turned it into an imaginary rocket ship , where he wiggled in n got stuck not knowing how to get out!!Mummy just watch with amused..

My dear son - don't try to get into anything if you don't know how to get out if it okay...lesson to learn in life 8.)

You can see the closeness of these two. Mummy & Ayah hope you two will always be on each other's back , side by side through thick and thin..Love you both so dearly...

What a busy Mummy week

2008-10-24T23:52:00.000-07:00

ONE OF THOSE UNAVOIDABLE EVENT..

Now there's two

Mummy had too many 'sweet' time, and this is one of it..She accidentally knocked off a jar of sugar on a table before she even had the chance to order breakfast..Being a responsible adult she was, sure she "cleaned" up her mess into makeshift jar..d monday morning started with a bliss so does the whole week..For those who already know her, surely this is not something that is NOT expected of her. Beware to those who loves their cafe latte, you dont want to take the wrong sugar jar..

Another of the sweet time that took up MUmmy's time was "Scrapbook". She hasn't been doing any since we moved last June..But this is not for Nuryn or Zeidan but for a Sweet boy school project- Wafrie ..He's Mummy's friend at work who happens to be creative with almost ANYTHING except this.. So she begged us to helped her out, being a dear friends without expectation (right!) The four of us from the blink-blink women get down to work pronto..It took us 2 1/2 days total of 12 hours to make this unique one of the best work ever. Mummy get the honoured to make the cover and album!! With a budget of $100+, 2 large pizzas, box of FUNdoughnuts, few cling-clong here and there, juicy gossips and 2 stormy nights later the masterpiece is completed. Hope he'll win, coz then Mummy can have anything she wish for granted by Wafries' Mummy (i wish for more wishes....)

Ayah took some pictures from the park nearby his place..He's been settling well, adapting to the new student life..going to classes and assignments to do etc..His weekend were spent alone walking in and out of shops and streets in the city (sob..sob)..Must be surveying for Mummy..hehe...his body weight is lighter though it can't be seen from the screen, where we see each other and feel closer everyday!!

Mummy too has had physical changes to the situations of late nights , sleep deprive and lack of appetite. Topped up with our everyday demand that requires to fulfill our staggering needs of attention such as horse-ride, hide & seek, story reading, feeding, showering , pampering the list goes on and on.But she still carry on with life like normal, with work schedule and casual outing..

Raaziq happy face

Its like a halloween party when we entered the house party, there was a gladiator, beautiful cleopatra, french maid, skimpy female pilot and steawardess, Dorothy (Oz), Japanese cartoon, Mafias and so many more. Don't think thats what the kids are dressing as..There are wizards with broomstick, Harry Potter, Thomas, Cheerleaders (HSM), She-devil,Skyhigh Superhero/Grease, Zorro, Scrubber (intern) etc. The theme was a costume party so Raaziq is the young Jedi Luke Skywalker...

How we are related?He is Ayah's cousin's son, therefore Nuryn's 2nd cousin..The B'day was a mixture of various generation..There's the Nini's groupie, the adult groupie and kids of all age...
We had music, games, foooood and fireworks..

Baby Mika tranformed into 'Baby chewbacca'

Mummy was a lonely, confused, Japanese goddess

The cute l'il party heads

Joker father of Baby chewbacca

Cowboy Concubine Mother of Baby Chuwbacca

Slash, predator, lady pirate, arabian princess & Alice in Wonderland

Naruto Raaziq's auntie

Fireworks for the finale

The witch mother of Raaziq

Ngah ajis with Minime with a 'teacher'..heee cute

Nuryn's new "BFF"

Her timid friend SNOW Got to feed him

Oh my shes found her new friend now..Its Actually what she's been bickering about for the past week.

Nuryn; "Mummy can i have a rabbit?"

Mummy; " But u're still a small girl, u can't simply take care of a rabbit, let alone urself"

Nuryn; "You TEACH me how to take care, Mummy"

Mummy dumbstruck; (you wise crack!) and smile.

So that has been our longest argument and in the end mummy had to surrender. Of course on certain condition, that she give him/her adequate TLC. AND going to school everyday..Man, It's been a challenging week for Nuryn..She's been staying up till late hours and find it impossible to wake up that lead to Mummy giving up and left for work. If the maid tried to wake her, she'll just replied "I can't open my eyes, auntie" and continue to doze off...

Guess the raya mood is still in her..Sorry Nuryn and Zeidan Mummy is not able to bring u raya-ing this year since our DRIVER is on leave in UK.

Zeidan's hyper activities

Mummy will catch me if I fall Fire Man to the rescue

This boy just love to put stuff on his head , undress, over dress, climb to higher ground..His cheekiness just seems to be Mummy's l'il show around the house.. Too immune to stop him as long as it doesn't seems too risky the way he prefers it. Sushi Chef Hey, who turn off the light?There are just tonnes of activities that he find that he should earn an awarad from Mummy, that is a BIG KISS and applause!!Bravo my son..

Happy 25th B'day to our King k(y) Azeez

2008-10-09T12:30:00.001-07:00

Ffffff..... that's the sound of Zeidan puffing the candle light.

Ngah Ajis was caught off guard when they bring in the cake.

WHO's Kingk(y) Azeez??Hes' our cool uncle who cares to teach us a l'il rap song (wateva u like...), hand shake with the knuckle by saying "geng" as its code and horse around the house with his luggage bag...Not forgettin he is also sweet and charming NOT..Mummy used to pick fight with him when they were little and yet they are close and stick like till now.

He invited all of us for a lovely dinner at Villa Mauri, a new Italian restaurant in Sg.Tilog..The food was mouth-watering and superb service..NExt time we bring Ayah to the place since Ayah loves Italian food especially the Lamb, right Ayah??

NUryn had a chance to make her very own PIZZA with the the help of the friendly chef. It was a breeze for her, she followed all the steps correctly.. 1) you make d dough flat by rolling with the small roller2) invite ur l'il brother to join u3) spread tomtato sauce evenly4) sprinkle cheese, chicken pastarami, n mushroom all over it 5) Voila, u share it wit ur family..Yum YUm..Excellente!!!

Nuryn never fails to impress me with her multi-talent skills.. Oh ya, unlike brother he's "break" a record of breaking plate lucky it's just a small one that they didn't mind at all..Well, he didn't did it intentionally, he was just dipping the yumy sauce with his bread stick and it spun off the table. The night was continued with more overly suspense stunt from him like trying to eat the decoration (plastic fruit), several attempt to break more glass ware, n of course conquering the place with his ravashing laughter and screams..

WEEKS are getting lesser so as the days,..I just can't wait any longer..Gone are the nights of late skype-ing in the wee morning..It's back to school..Nuryn was up early unexpectedly, I picked her brand-new baju kurong which I forgot to parade during the first few days of Raya..Oh well, her face gleamed so beautifully and happy ..

We stayed at nini this week, coz still couldn't bare to go back to the house where it's empty. We reached her school just before 8,n there's not a sign of a living soul. HAAGH, Mummy started to panic a bit, was there an emergency evacuation??Still she insisted to find out,and found that school only start the next day..Duhhh, tanx to Mummy for transforming the notice she received weeks ago into a shopping list...Poor Nuryn was a bit dissappointed since she was excited to see her friends who she missed so much.

Guess that's what happen when u didn't plan ur route in advance.

Hary Raya Blues

2008-10-03T11:58:00.000-07:00

OUR first raya w'out beloved hubbydaddy wish u're here Ayah

Joget Seloka hari raya

THERE no words to describe our feelings that Raya Morning..Mummy didn't feel d spirit at all, but had to move on for the sake of Nuryn n brother. AS usual waking them takes the toll, good thing Nuryn woke up early looking excited about wearing her new baju kurong + accessories..While brother took his sweeet time to wake up cos he really had late nite.

After salam with nini, and Mummy's siblings we all drive to KB to visit Atuk (nini's mother). The drive took 1 hour 30 minutes to reach, and weather was cloudy with scattered rains. There goes the newly washed car . We spent few hours at Atuk house , taking chance to greet as many relatives as possible coz everyone will be heading to Atuk house as their first house every Raya.

Atuk house was filled again where it once raised 12 children wit some chickens and goats. Now the children are all married, live in different places, raised their family and few have grandchildren. Atuk's family expands to 4 generations that brings the total of 60 grandchildren + 11 extended granchildren and 16 great grandchilren. Wished i could take photo of all of them at once.

It's a blessed having a big family, coz it gives our children the opportunity to be known and loved by the great people who used to take care of me when I was under their care.

The drive home took us 2 1/2 hours due to a small accident that stretched probably 15 miles long traffic. Once we reached home, we did the traditional bejarah at Uwan who's been waiting for us patiently. Her house will be the first to grow and kept expanding, though it won't reach a huge number like Atuk.

The supposedly jarah teachnique, but Nuryn was in no mood for it.

Hari Raya 2007, Nuryn 3 yrs old
Ayah & Mummy 4th Hari Raya

Zeidan 9 months old

THE first month just slipped away..Every day, every night, every minute, every second we want to be with Ayah..in the midst of prepping up for our almost zero mood to celebrate Hari Raya we still had our l'il fun to lift up the spirit and make the best of it. Poor Ayah, didn't get the atmospehere like us back home. He had to attend classess from 9pm-2pm. Had he's Raya meal ala instant indo-mee and fried egg..Before this he'll be the first to be up, put on his new under garments, baju melayu and head to the mosque with Aki, and brothers/in law. The theyw ill visit Aki's eldest sister who lives nearby and enjoy her homemade cooking. At home Mummy will be busy waking up the kids, who always had late nights even not in Raya month. Put on their new dress, jewellery, Baju melayu, l'il songkok for Zeidan and wait beautifully for Ayah ti come home. We all will be xcited to see him, knowing that we will perfomr the traditional routine, salam, an hugs and of coz taking LOADS of pictures in the house. At times, we would finish the while roll of films in one morning..So vain..

"This will go straight to my tabung"

Fasting month is over, and TWO more months to go. Mummy had booked ticket on 4th Decemebr where she's been changinf date for the 2rd time. Foiund out that Ayah wonlt be having any class on Friday, that's when she decided to arrived on Friday so we can stay a night in London for the weekend. Hopefully, everything goes well.

Hari Raya DISASTER (9 weeks / 51days)

2008-09-30T09:39:00.000-07:00

The new look for Hari Raya 2008

ITS d most busiest day of the year, day of the "baby" moon sigthing, everyone was rushing to get haircut, car wash, hitting the tailor shop, goin to banks to take MORE money ( wherever it came from) n many more unconsciously shopping spree that needs to be done before Raya falls (fingers corss that it won't be tomorrow) that's everyone desire. Well almost everyone, in my case, it is a tradition to hit the overcrowded hair saloon..

Its an impulse decision for my son, i was thinking to NOT to get him a haircut, or a trim but.........I decided to SHAVE his hair off..That will be challenging i thought to myself..IT DID..AS the lady place his cover gently he was a bit relax, while being entertained with Disney cartoon on dvd player. So I prayed that he will be in that position till the end..But my blood pressure rose as he started to jerk a bit. Then he's ROAR can be heard..He started to pull the cover, like the angry HULK!!yangking the ocver off his body, tryin to jump off of me..We had to continued it was just quarterly done..Then He screamend his head of, till it almost break the glass window..People in there were staring and hissing, I don't care..

The lady was kind enough to bare all that, and SHe didn't even charge me for his haircut..Never expect to receive this kind of sympathetic gesture from a stranger , after all Zeidan really was uncontrollable!!I promise him that he won't be visiting the saloon for the whole year. Except tomorrow to fix it at Barber shop (kadai kaleng) for damage measure..Fingers cross!

The unfinished product, surely needs to be fixed.

10 weeks / 66 days to go...

2008-09-25T10:16:00.000-07:00

Girl Time

OUR 3rd week without Ayah has been quite busy filled with tons of activities prepared by Mummy since she's off for 2 weeks long holiday..Mummy brought me to the saloon have our nails done, that's least she can do while I wait around for her to do mani/pedicure + foot spa..
I was treated my first nail coloring, & for Free, tanx to the nice auntie at Essensual Saloon..I'll surely come back to get free perm (k, don't push it).

Exaggerating Appetite

Over the week, we tried several restaurants for Sungkai Buffet with nini & nini boy (of coz separate occasion)..The first outing was at Nyonya restaurant where I requested everyone to wear Baju Kurong coz I look pretty in it. I Love the Mee Hoon, and addorted kueh. There was the Swensen, where Mummy regret going since they served uncooked fish fillet, and burnt pasta so AWFUL..We ordered ice-cream to complement our poor taste bud , at least that lift up Mummy's mood..Then there was Le taj, I barely touch anything cos fell asleep on Mummy's lap the entire time while Brother actively seeking attention!!Poor Mummy didn't enjoy her food with brother acting out in public. There was also the time Mummy brought me to join Umi Julie's family sungkai at a Thai's restaurant and I get the priviliges to meet her BIG family of 11 + 2 inlaws+7 grandchildren and form instant friedship with all her nieces and nephews who are just about my age.My favourite girl was Iffah (blue Girl's Rock t-shirt), Something bad happend to her earlier that a lady's handbag had snatched her "animal printed with curly red hair head-band" by accident!the ordeal was pretty hilarious for Mummy for she had witnessed it all.(of all the people, always MyMummy )

Wet n Wild

The most recent one was at Rizqun Hotel, wow we had a SPLASH!!Mak Te(Ayah's Sister) was so nice to invite us for a swim while she and family checked in the hotel.

It was a cool afternoon, Mummy grab Brother his first Swimming suit compeleted with goggles and he look so cute in it.. We rush down to the pool at half past 5. 30 minutes about 30 minutes before Sungkai. Better make the best out of it..WOW, I was excited yet terrified at first, since we have'nt been in the water for quite some time. The water was freezing cold, but cousin Hafiy did it like a pro he was 'diving' in the pool with his aquatic skills. When it's time to go, I was not ready to leave the pool yet. But with certain amount of persuasion and promises that we'll come back the next morning and then I complied. Brother on the other hand didn't enjoyed the adventure. It was his first time though, so he was clinging like a baby koala the whole time. Hope he won't grow up and scared of water like old man (hekhek).

We wished that Ayah was there..But having to do stuff like this helped us to get pass the time quickly so we won't realise that our days are getting closer to see him. We always miss you Ayah, every beat of the way..

MUmmy's girl is "Arcadict"

2008-09-18T10:15:00.000-07:00

I would'nt expect that my SWEET Nuryn who've just turn 4 would already altered her list of places to go...before it would be "Mama, I wanna go to "Jungle-gym", "Hua-Ho" or "MacDonald"..It surprised me at first, that she wanted me to bring her to the ARCADE..Yep, a place where there's bunch of teenagers stumbled in. Not that I'm not keen on that place I just prefer to avoid places with swarming teenagers to avoid bumping into them (since i work with them for a living)..

It was right after sungkai, she started mumbling and said "Mama, I wanna go upstairs"..this has been her ritual since a baby, everytime she sees Staircase she would pull my hand and lead me up..and I mean every stairs she can find in, whether it's at the department store,shops or even somebody's house.

So off we go to the arcade where her last visit was a year ago, and I recalled that she didn't enjoyed it at all.Too limited to see anything that challenge her height and motor skills..But now, she's started to learn her way in..Trying the bowling machine, knocking cat's head (there's only 1 head poppin, the only 1 that works), manouvering the mini-simulator (her favourite), hockey table, carousel (still not recommended for her age).

She's shown more confident and competency in her game now. She was really enjoyin her self and that's what's important!!Luckily, she was not that curious to go further in, the place was pact and LOUD.My poor girl is not fit to this type of crowd , neither is Mummy..WE're both too young or too old..Teenagers are everwhere, duck Mummy, duck!!Zeidan was being curios too tryin few games that he couldn't even understand yet, hehe..and guess what we returned back to the same place the following day,Ooh there's anoder arcade round the corner n the game was very child-friendly and interactive..

Our l'il Bully - Zafrey Zeidan..He won't give up until he gets his way. May it be over a toy that he never care to play with, he would start 'caring' for it when it's in the hand of someone else..Always knocking our heads with hard objects (especially his knuckles n feet) and if he couldn't get enough he'll start bulldoziong his prey like a charging Rhino..He would show no mercy at all!

Days can go by with Mummy tryin straighten up his persona by giving warnings and threats, but it perished in the thin air. It's just not his principle to show his affection to what being told!

But once he put up his 'innocent' sorry face his misdemeanor is simply forgiven PRONTO..He always soften us with his giggles, puffy face. In the end of every offence he'll give us a hug n BIG WET kiss on the lip..Who would resist that from a sweet l'il boy..

INseparable couple -Once upon a time.....

5 years ago, we only made plans to be together !!and that's about IT, Life is ALMOST complete..

Our li'l history was that we only had a brief dating, about 3 months before we both decided to tie the knot. Though we've known each other 7 years earlier on , Overlooked by numbers of Wrong people that we encountered..WE went to college together, hangout at cafes, walk to our work attachments (in BSB), uncountable picnics, n numerous events..But our past was reamins a MYSTERY,as to why we never got hitched the earlier..Well, things happend!

Never knew we would fall head over heels just in ONE night!!Haha, so corny I would reckon we were!!Tanx to KK trip (Shhhhhhhhhh....those who were there would not dare to mention anything)

But, nevertheless...It's a MILESTONE for every marriage, 5 years is emminent enough to predict that we're going to have another good (n worst) years ahead of us. We SURVIVED!!I'm grateful for all the things that happpened since I Met you..You are truly MY PERFECT match, LOve you for everything..

The face that we miss every beat of the heart
First week without Ayah

The first week of not having Ayah around was quite a challenge for us..Mummy had to put herself in Ayah's "pants" while still being herself..it was a devastating week, adaptin to new life without the MAN of the house around..

This affected Nuryn who kept on asking "when ayah coming home Mamma?", Sometime tears would streamed down her innocent face whenver she remembers him..oaah, it's just heart breaking to swallow..

Zeidan on the other hand is acting out..always picking on Nuryn n everyone he can lay his chubby hands on..apart from his notorious behaviour, He fell sick, with fever of almost 40 degrees for 2 nites, n vomitted whole day. Mummy had to rushed us all to the clinic and get urgent treatment. The next day, he was all better..Tanx to Aunti Faizah & Uncle Athai who were there to accompany us to the hospital and made prior arrangement with the doctor.

It was depressing for all of us to have to go through this without Ayah, but Mummy tried her best to pull everyone spirit and tried to enliven the house auro. Ayah trying to bite nuryn's hand from the screen, and she laughed her heart out!!

time-out from home..spend quality time at the book store, our favourite shop Icklebook..Mummy had to seize this opportunity after a check-up at the clinic, it really worn down the stress, especially for poor Zeidan.

Our first sungkai at the house helped to bring back the pleasant atmospehre we always have..there's Uwan & Aki (parent in-law),Ngah Ajis, Uda Keena, Moon, Faizah and Zayyan...sure was great to hve family and friends around, though it can't replace Ayah's absence. Tanx everybody ;.)

Goofin aroun wit Mummy

Don't PANIC , I didn't turn the kids upside down..there were crawling under me so i had to take the pictures this way..At least its their first laughter this week echoing in the house!!We continued by singing, jumping, dancing crazily with the help of Hi-5...

MUmmy's l'il helper

The looong week was almost over..We head down to Uwan's house..She was as usual busy in the 'cookie' room preparing Hari Raya biscuits for Ayah and plus tryin to meet her for Raya order..The familiar cooking aroma arouse the fasting spirit in the house, wish Ayah is here to share it with us..

Nuryn insisted to help out, coz she wants to made it especially for Ayah..what a great help she was. Taught her once, and she picked it instantly!!Must be passed fro Uwan's genes..hekhek.Zeidan persisted to help, bu No, No, its not gonna make any better..

we left him in despair, as u can see here..The new handNtwist techniqe that she adapted herself

Surely this is one special recipe added with; extra drooling, sneezing, and top of that LOVe..she was muttering repeatedly that "Ayah gotta love this Mamma" all the way.

I guess, we look for forward to send this yummy treats to you by this week..Bet Ayah will enjoy it as mush as we all enjoyed making it for him..Miss u every second of the way!!!

Just Me n Kids - [after all]

2008-09-02T01:37:00.000-07:00

A hectic months it has been for us..we've just settled down at d new house getting warm and cozy now Ayah has to leave..though letting him is the biggest sacrifice ever, with heavy heart Mummy still managed to 'think' positive and accept the challenge..

But now, its almost 24 hours after he left everything seems to be gloomy and dreary..No more laughter to share with, tears to shed,jokes to tell (mostly on Ayah), nagging and yelling slowly subsided in the house!! So what else to do??but wait until the next opportunity comes along and be in his arms.

Two days before his departure we all took a turn at a studio. It was tiring but fun 1 hour for us at the studio. Nuryn was a bit reserved at first, but way to go brother..He sure is a BIG poser, no assistant needed..BUT once Mummy start parading asking her to jump and turn, she followed suit like a pro..poor Mummy had to act like a monkey infront of the cameraman.(chuckle)

Mummy and Ayah li'l Models

The session ended wit a round of tantrum from brother who plead to leave the place due to 'fatigue'..Nuryn joined the club few minutes later in the car when she wanted to make a stop at the Toyshop donwstairs..IF it wasn't raining like cats and dogs Mummy would have entertained u Sayang..

This is a true daily routine in d family, of coz the HEad of the house will be bullied no matter what!

To the life of my life- B, may you always be safe and in health no matter where u are..n all ur days will be as smooth as what the ALmighty had planned 4 u.May U always be protected by HIM. Me n d Kids LOve u n Miss u Miserably . .

Remember that i had to spend longer hours on my nyte out with her, well at least I managed to get all the stuff needed , which was btw SUPERHERO theme..I kNow how much u LOVE watching movies n especially Fictions like STAR WARS, TRANSFORMERS, IRON MAN, SPIDER MAN, BAT MAN, ALL THE MEN..
Did try to get u a BRITISH flag cake, but they MIssed out the red color due to wrong instructions. unfortunately the B'day BOY is Not a hero himself, couldn't make u look any badder than this, well at least i tried..
In my case, the unfortunate event was dat i got mixed up wit being a CAT woman but in a BAT girl mask, which makes me CABAT WOMAN (as Moon pointedout)..what d heck!! as long as i'm one of d good guys/gals..Moon was generous enuf to show her superhero powers, powers to generate heat fr her bare hands, more like a firestarter to me..

we had a cat fight because of this.. The other superheroes were WOlverine (d BEst 1) and Alai 'Cute' Kim POssible..u guys are d best. n so r ALL d superheroes out der who were busy protecting the humans and saving the world!!

Of coz My Superhero is the best one, its ALL underneath the dark mysterious mask..

The next day, u didn't forget to celebrate the NORMAL traditional family outing who loves to share ur special day with u..

AGAIN I threw a little surprise, but u sensed it (of coz)..if they weren't too obvious waitin by the kitchen..asked Joy (singer) to serenade u a song i dedicated it specially for u..SEMPURNA by gita gutawan..haaaaaaaaa, love dat song!!

D whole afternoon was spent chowing on high cholesterol, sugary and fattening food..everybody enjoyed the food and the HAPI Birthday to u song, in biligual.. ONe BIG KISS to u from ur favourite ladies in d world!!

Mummy's boy is HOT (again)

2008-08-20T07:14:00.000-07:00

Say AAAAAaaaaaa, zeidan has always been a great patience..

On the way to the clinic, see how excited u were!

Poor zeidan had a fever again on frantic Monday...During this time Mummy would wish hard that u pass the illlness to Me instead, let me carry ur pain, coz i dun want u to get sick ever.Everytime u fell sick, it makes me think about my truest reason to become a Mummy! all i want to do is comfort u, hug u, makes u feel warm n save in my arms.

That morning u were up around 5 ish by ur loud cry! n i touch ur forehead n ur too warm..

u kept cryin even when i held u, kipak u nuting seems to work. I made u take calpol that will turn ur heat down, poor ayah was worried too. We took the the ultimatum to give u supository (tingy inserted to ur bottom)..dat really work in seconds..

Both Mummy n Ayah brought u to see the doctor, wer u start running around like u didn get sick. We went to the bookstore next door and grabbed few books that u handpicked ur self. after the check up, i was hoping to get u a good sleep but as soon as ur back in ur car seat u were crying hysterically , so thats means ur really sleepy. Mummy had to drop ayah to the office den drive us back home.

There at home,i manage to calm u down and put u to sleep in my arms..u make sounds that just didn want me to let go,,and den i decided to stay home with u the whole day. After two days or so, ur body is back normal..Alhamdullillah, Hope u're getting stronger everyday sayang. Coz ur such an active n adventurous boy. Love u.

Mummy's silly cousin with her son

Mummy's cousin since foetus..

2008-08-11T08:06:00.000-07:00

Welcome home Beeeeeeh,

It's been almost 2 years she hasn't step foot in Brunei..I know, we were very close before, there not a moement dat we didn't contact each other.. as what we'll announce to people-known since we were a foetus..although I am a year older than you..So, technically since we were born.

We are related by nature ,from our Mother who are sisters, Not many cousins will survived this unique closeness especially when all of us are starting with new life; getting married, having chores and errants, living in two separate continent and living totally different lifestyle. Bibi met a handsome & kind italian born australian few years ago in Perth, n got hitched few months after I got hitched!!therefore, the distance..

It never failed to surprise our parents that we always want to do same thing, although our personality is adversely different. We used to talk in bed till the wee morning when were younger,share secret which only last a second to our next best fren, burning down the phone line (she will use the fax line, while i use the house line-no handphone yet) with boys on random, we travelled together, party thru like ders no tomorrow, shop for entirely different taste, drive around aimlessly on the street (unlicensed Shh!),cook mostly i'll be helping, take shower quickly coz we were on a rush to go somewhere, annoyed each oder crazy like banging on the toilet door while i was doing business No.2 (man, i hate that)..I would finish what i was doing, get out and drag her big ass to the toilet to give her the preview of what i left inside the toilet bowl( brutal huh!) told her not to mess with my S***.

Over the years, We started to drift apart due to wife-hood, mother-hood and work-hood in a different neighbour-hood..But we managed to meet up in Singapore some 2 years ago to rekindle.. did all the things mentioned in 3 days!!

We still act the same, laugh stupidly at our stupid joke "Is that a PAAAAIG?" (is that a pig?) in aussie accent.it's an ancient incident when i visited her in PErth tryin to pick up the accent over there..No matter how far we are that joke will always trigger us to laugh breathlessly.

Recently , she came back for 3 weeks to visit n though we didn't spend that much time like we used to, it was the best quality time with her,.Amazingly , we never had a fight, maybe disagreement but we always change the subject when things get heat up, dat mutual understading is the only mature thing we had.

She also had a son, that I like to show on the slide..See our differences, she is still d Bibi d silliest girl i've ever known. I hope to see her in near future, coz there's always this fatal attraction to unconditionally love and care for her..as if shes my very own sister..oh ya she addressed me as Kaka, coz she always wanted to have big sister to look out too, but unfortunately this one is unqualified to even labelled as the mature one.

Now that she's in her late 20's n I am in my 30's, being around her is always like we're still 12 and 13..Love U Beh..i hope u're always in good health and happiness.

Our Princess's 4th B'day

2008-08-11T00:22:00.000-07:00

The parade is coming to town!!

2008-07-30T07:30:00.001-07:00

Going off to to tasek lama hoping it won't rain..

fresh flower from RBA

Its' s been ages since I've witnessed THE parade on the street of Brunei..The parade was on 26th July, one of the biggest event during His Majesty's 62nd B'day.. the main reason for me to be excited was because it is happening just right outside our NEW moved in house..

Yeah, after a long tiring month of cleaning, repairing, cleaning again, moving stuff, loading and unloading etc..Finally we moved in on that historical day to coincide with the BIG parade.

under d sea from Shell

We took a walk with the kids right after work, just 3 mins+ from our house (running actually), cross a two lane highway adjacent to our building and reach the tasek lama road where all the beautiful motor lined up. it was spectacular, really missed that atmosphere.. The kids are astonished though sweating coz I insisted Nuryn to wear hooded raincoat incase it will pour.. it was windy but the sight of the colorful decorated motors kept us going against the wind.

Nuryn was drench in her sweat, time to take off the jacket.

We continued admiring and walking, there was loud music too, it came from TelBru ..they dressed up as so-called alien or man from the future , there was under d sea theme from Shell companies, the clams was fully loaded with neon lights, and few others of course the mosque, kampong ayer, giant books, globes ya know the typical. We surely enjoyed the afternoon and we left around 6 couldn't wait for the lights to come coz the cloud was getting pretty dark ..

on the way back, thank god it wasn't raining. BIG thumbs up to everyone who worked hard for the parade..

Nuryn'z day out..

2008-07-19T00:30:00.000-07:00

Going off to Jigsaw, SMILE....

WHAT A pity zeidan was coming down with a flu, so I told him to stay home and rest. He would surely appreciated this day too. It was My school Family Fun Day @ Jigsaw Playschool that moved us to spend a very warm, sunny, sunday afternoon. Sure the first thing Iwanted to try was the BOUNCER, but mummy insisted and kept on persuading me to alot of "pit stop" before landing at the bouncer area. So, as a sweet abiding daughter I was,followed her flow..though I start to wonder on how to escape her.Hmmph (naaaah, don't have the gut) .The first stop was the face painting, couldn't resist all the commotion in there! It was like a room full of tiny supermodel,getting their make up done.

Then Ayah tried "ring -toss" game, Yup he got it all (i think), its not that challenging for a guy who happens to have pair of long arms.

Almost getting to the bouncer area, I was anxious, think i had adrenaline rush as I get closer. Since I was wearing the 'Official" t-shirt that the school had for sales, I was entitled for a FREE unlimited time for all bouncers, yey sound like FREE ride to me. But I didn't stay that long, "I want my Mummy". Ayah came to the rescue, coz Mummy was busy chatting with Aunty Babe. Oh well, Mummy had to 'respect' my decision this time. so Mummy lured me back to the game area. YEY,gotta win some prizes. Must, must, must!! Still manage to try the 'mini-golf' challenge, and coach by our very own "Tiger Wood"

Taking pictures with Baby Yayan & his daddy with catch of d day determine to catch a fish.
The late Barbie & Dora who had a place in our hearts,

(time of death -next day)

Our last game was good old fishing game, it was more fun when baby Yayan was fishing too. He looked surreal for a 20 mth+ boy eyeing to catch one. We both caught two fishes BRAVO (at least that's limit). Really wish Zeidan was there too, he would've catch the fish with his bare hands I bet.

Along the way, We managed to take alot of pictures with Mummy's friends , there was The Special guest of honour Aunty Faizah & family (Mummy invited them over). The glamorous Aunty Babe & family, Old time friend Aunty Ivy & kids, Mummy's cousin so that makes him my 2nd cousin baby Eljaz, he's a 2 yr old cutie.
Aunty Feizah had fun inthe tree house. I know Wafrie, it's scorchng hot.!! Baby Eljaz in full Jigsaw merchandise.

This is the time when Mummy tried to show me how to play dart, OMG she's terrible !!She couldn't aim nor burst any balloon, oh well it's worth a try right!!

OK sayang , 1,2,3 throw..

This is easier, get me closer to the pole

we've done it all, we tried baseball, mini soccer, wishing well (wish I win) n the BEST part winning was the Lucky Draw, Mummy was so occupied with trying to win the game that she didn't hear her name being called out after the 3rd times. Finally, She ran to the MC and shouted "It's MINE" with an over the head pitch voice.

Wonder What's in it?

Time to head home, but before that we treat our self on cool Mr.Softy ice cream while enjoying the afternoon breeze. The afternoon was too hot for me STILL so it's pretty obvious that my only cheerful picture was back in our car, grinning ear-to-ear. Sluuurrrrrrrrp!!Always love to go out more this days, provided it's indoor please Mummy...

colorful day!

Grateful to be ALIVE n KICKING!!

2008-06-28T10:51:00.000-07:00

I'd survived my 30 years ordeal in soooo many ways..but importantly it made me the person i like to look at every morning..being 30 hasn't change anything except dat my vision is upgraded to 300 degress..this has lead me to splurge on my a new pair of ESPRIT n match it with a new pair of Mary Jane Crocs.. which i dun see the relevance..Nways wud hav been more comfortable if i had waited for the perfect size 7 instead if 6 (Well, dats me persistent).

I didn't throw a BIG 30 bday party like wht my friends hassle me to, it's just another ordinary day for me..Never want to make it a BIG deal, guess i've matured YA RITE!!if i only had all d money in world i would hv gone around the world and announced my b'day but dat never seems practical in real life, maybe in my dreams one of this day..

My so-called achivements iun life apart from being a milionaire, is good health, Beautiful kids, loving husband(nah kambang tia), sadang good paying job (not my passion) n great friends everywhere. Tink these are the best accomplishment that i never knew i wud achive..it may seems easy though BUT it doesn't fall in one beautiful page, each page of my life journey in unfold one at a tiem but i'M PROUD to say that i'm grateful..

Child No.2 (Apple of my eye)

2008-05-30T10:18:00.001-07:00

My son is only 17 months and boy he sure knows how to control a woman. He is pretty boy, cheerful, smart and cunning. My Zeidan is everything to me or I am everything to him *sigh*, he is not keen on the other parent (wonder why)..Must be the driven from male-ego between the two.hmmm. I love you more than life..always be my baby boy k..

Child No.1 (the queen of my heart)
