lagu dodoi anakku...

Tanya sama pokok
Apa sebab goyang
Nanti jawab pokok
Angin yang goncang

Tanya sama langit
Apa sebab hujan
Nanti jawab langit
Tanyalah awan

Awan nanti kata
Aku kandung air
Sampai tempat sejuk
Aku pun cair

Tengok dalam air
Nampak bayang-bayang
Campak satu batu
Bayang pun hilang

Melamine...

I still can't believe that manufacturers put melamine in milk product and also some other food product such as chocolate and breakfast cereal...

The best part is, there are allowable percentage. So, it is basically okay for them to actually include melamine in their product as long as they do not exceed the amout allowed.

Do they really think that consumers do not have brain. Even the people from Health department said it is okay because as you eat the food with melamine that has allowable percentage of melamine in the morning, by the next day, it is out of your body system. As this person said that, I understand that, we eat, let melamine go thorugh your blood system which is basically go through every part of your body and by the next day as you i go to the toilet and do my business, it should be out. Very logical...

Big feet

Look at my feet... Elephants' feet pun not as big as these.... I feel so ugly...

Dapat cucu lagi...

Two weeks ago, one of my anak saudara gave birth to a baby girl. I jadi opah again. On my mum's side, I have to mengaku as opah since that nenek in Perak means Nyang (Great Grandmother), while Wan is more of Auntie.

My kids, cannot terima hakikat that they are auntie and uncle when I told them that the baby suppose to call them auntie and uncle.

Sweet Sour and Tiga Rasa

Yesterday, we had our dinner at Rasta. A happening place that is located in front of Puteri Restaurant and also it is in between Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and Sungai Penchala.

We ordered Sweet and Sour chicken and omelette for my kids whi I finally got my dim sum. The thing is, this always happen whenever I order for my kids. I always emphasize that "Tak nak pedas langsung, no sayur, no bawang" Kids, they just hate all that. Somehow, the cook or the waiter/tress just don't get it. They still make it spicy (pedas)m somehow they still put onion (bawang). The vegies are the only part that they usually able to catch and got it right.

So, yesterday, I got really bengang, so I went to see the cook. I told him, I requested for "Sweet and Sour", This is spicy. pedas. Do you know what the cook answered. "Next time, If do not want pedas ask for kicap dish not sweet and sour.

The thing is... Sekolah masak mana dia belajar, Sweet and sour and pedas. Sah-sah the name of the dish is sweet and sour. Where got the word spicy or pedas. Do i need to bring dictionary everytime I order for kids? If Sweet, Sour and pedas combine, That is already a diferent dish. It is called Tiga Rasa. and if I am not mistaken that is Thai Food. While Sweet and Sour is Chinese Food. Seriously... do I really to bring dictionary to get my order clear...?

The abused became the abuser

There is one boy who has been abused by his own mother until last year, his father finally took him away and never so far look back.

The problem is, growing up in a violent environment has really spoil this boy's life. He hates adult women. Especially mothers. He makes sure that other children follow his rules. and so many other things including abusing other children.

I have no idea at first how to approach this matter as my son is one of the children that has to follow his rules.

I approached this boy yesterday. As a mother in general. I told what is wrong and what is right. I was thinking, I do not want this boy to grow up hating women especially mothers. Children are still children, They do need love. I just hope that I will be able to help this boy. poor thing that at such a young age, he had to face these kind monster in his life.

My girl..dressing up...

LAst Sunday, there was a wedding. My daughter went to the wedding with make up on her face, pretty clips on her hair and of course, my ear rings... Those ear rings was given to me by my cousin, Kak Ati. My daughter...rasmikan first... Girls nowadays... tak nak kurang...

Yellow belt... My son got it...

After skipping a few lessons... due to went back to my parents place, went for a sleep over at my sis's place... My hubby and my son, went for his next taekwondo lesson and found out that, it was grading week. So, my hubby just simply sign my son's name up... Who knows... At least he will get some experience of being graded.

Guess what.. he actually git through. He got to the next level... and I actually cried.

Kids with kite...with daddy..

My daughter was so thrilled to learn how to fly a kite. Of course, she saw in BArney and other kids show, but playing kites for real... It was a dream came true....

MY son decided to join only later on.. He had fun anyway...

My daughter.... run...run...run and run.... They really had fun...

TESCO

See the sign??? TESCO... Even my kids recognize the word. Why...??? Because I do my shopping here for almost everything... and also anything... Name it... from groceries to even blouse and pants... Name... really... anything...

Lately... I have becoming one of those who actually buy Tesco products... and even help TESCO to promote their product. In this picture, I do use their rice, cordial drinks, salt, tissue paper, Cream Cracker biscuits and also toilet cleaner. Yup.... almost 80% of the product in the photo above... Hey... they are not bad... Actually quite impressive...
But for those who wants a better quality.. Of course, TESCO give a diferent choice. It is called TESCO Choice. From above photo... I am using the paper towel, wet tissu, Evaporated milk and also the handwash. Again... about half from the photo above. That is not included of other products that I am using...

Thank God there is TESCO... With the price of most things are rising higher and higher... I am practically using almost every TECO product... The funny part is, I did not hesitate at all using them. There were a few TESCO customers who was so not sure of using the product actually asked me a few times... Of course, if te product edible, okay or not...how is the product... the standard question... And I did not lie to them... I told them the truth... They are actually good...

Tun Dr. Mahathir a.k.a Che Det

I have been getting emails about our former PM on his and his family money. Basically he accumulate a lot while he was a PM. Besides that, other information which I don't really give a damn.

Now, people are trying to make him look bad. As he resigned from UMNO, he makes his remarks, basiccaly anything that he does now as an ex-PM is just basically suppose to be bad.

Next...what else I am going to get from my email. Someone might want to show that he was a sex maniac or can't have sex with his wife. I wonder how far people would go to degrade him.

To me, all these are idiots that got nothing to do. These people, give me a call, I can give you a lot of things to do in my house.

Che Det mark our country in the world map. Not just geographically but as news, as part of the world. Besides that he made people around the world love Malaysia and fear Malaysia at the same time. Isn't that wonderful? Of course for some people who are idiots, to them, that is not important. Try living in overseas even for a short while and you will feel and know the difference. Of course you stay in a different and befriend with only Malaysians, you will never know how it feels.

So, idiots... please stop. We are a country with dignity. We do not degrade a person after we feel like we don't need them anymore. We don't live in this country just to save our own ass. At least don't let other people see that you got no balls. It is pathetic. really... it does look that bad.

Betrayal...

I have been betrayed before. The feeling sucks. But time heals.

However, a few months back. I was betrayed, hurt and isolated from my own family members. Partly it was my fault, because I did not confide in them. But, I do not want to upset or worry them with what I was facing. So, I just keep quiet but what I did not know was, they started to speculate and make up their own stories and even accused me of doing things which I have no idea that in their mind, I was capable of doing such things. They actually believe what they speculate. That hurts.... really hurt.

Until now, my face is telling a different story to them. I smile and laugh and act like I am not being affected for what has happened. The truth is, I am just doing my duties as family. That is all. Being the youngest in the family, the older ones always assume that they do not need to say that they are sorry. They assume, it is my duty to forgive them or maybe, there were nothing and they do not need to ask for my forgiveness. Usualy, in time... I easily forgive and forget. But this time, I have not been able to find it in my heart to do that. Sucks. I am a better person than that. I have no idea until when I will be acting in front of them. With baby number three on the way. I am emotinally sometimes, unstable.

Life goes on.

Turkey trip - 8th day - Final day

The reason we went to Turkey is because my father in law wanted so much to see the blue mosque. He wants to see the architecture and the engineering of the building itself with his own two eyes. So, the next day, my hubby brought him and my mum in law there. Actually, the day before, we went there already. But Daddy was so tired ater walking from the Topkapi palace to the Blue Mosque, he was not ale to stand much any longer.

This was the day before. The kids and I, went to the top already. My hubby did not have the chance. He is a good son. He took care of his parents.

Finally, my dad in law got to see inside the blue mosque. I was so happy to know that. He got what he wanted so much. Of course the were a drama before he got to go there. I have to admit. I lied to someone so that my dad in law can go to the blue mosque. My hubby knew what I did. I think... he is not angry with me after seeing the result. I think, I am not sure.

Beautiful... Super beautiful.

Look at his face. He is so thankful for able to be in the blue mosque.
Outside the blue mosque.

Then, My hubby and his parents rushed to the Grand Bazaar as my sis-in-law and I was doing our last minute shopping before we board the plan, heading back to KL. Believe it or not, even for such a little time, my hubby manage to his shopping. He can't resist.

That was the end of our journey to Turkey. We bought A carpet. (I am not sure, when I am going to use it). A Turkish tea set. Some things for my children. Some t-shirts and that are nost of it. Some porcelain too. All in all, I have been eating instant noodle since then. Hahaha!!!! Just kidding. The exchange rate is quite high. So, can't spend much.

Turkey trip - 7th day

Istanbul


The first that we do the next morning was to go for the Bosphorus Cruise. They serve tea. And of course the famous apple tea. My mum in law and dad in law were having their tea. Dating time.

My kids was actually very exhausted after days and days of waking up early . But the still put a smile for the camera.

They went to the top of the boat. I wouldn't dare because being a pregger.

Smile....!!!

After the cruise, My hubby took a picture of the children near the boat that we board. I have no idea why my daughter is using the umbrella to pick her ears... Just kidding. She has that umbrella from Uncle Boss. That s what they call the boss of the Travel Agency. He was also in the tour.

This is somewhere in Topkapi. If I am not mistaken, this photo was taken right after we saw the biggest emerald that we have ever seen. Of course they did not allow anyone to take any photographs in the building.
This is one part on the Topkapi Palce. The palace is super huge.

This is one of the entrance. Gold everywhere. Just imagine the inside.

Yup... Posing with their dad. not really..

At the entrance of the Topkapi palace...

It was rainy and wet everywhere. I was so tired that day, that I slept despite the small hotel room that we had.

Turkey trip - 6th day tour

This is the Atarturk Museum where it is the final resting of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (Father of modern Turkey). As it was a long day and journey from Cappadocia to Istanbul. We just took pictures from the outside. It was still a long way to Istanbul.

As we arrived, we were shock to get this room. We had to walk like a crab or we walk on the bed. We did not really have much choice. The so called four star hotel was actually my guest it is one or two star hotel. All that happens because at the time, it was F1 week. All hotels were fully booked. Thats what they told us.

To find out more about this hotel and to make sure you do not go there, can check it out at http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293974-d634675-Reviews-Panorama_Hotel-Istanbul.html

Turkey Trip - 5th day

My handsome hubby at the drop/waiting place for tourist.

Inside the Underground city of Kaymakli. My kidz had fun and was not so tired like us since the height was just nice for them. As for us, we had to walk like a duck most of the time. Especially to go from one room to another.

Just look at this place. Thousands of people stayed in here a very long time ago. Early Christians lived secretly in order to survive and keep their faith.

They had their horses, and farm animals in here also, to make sure their food supply were enough. Amazing. There was a place to keep their wine and also for water. Places to bury the dead.
Syasya and the bus driver. His name is Hameed.

If you look closely, there are actually holes on the hills. If I am not mistaken, it is called Pigeon Valley. People live there.

Our next stop was where carpet are made. This man was telling us how they made the colours. They were all made from natural resources such as plants and trees.

In my hand was the Pupa. According to the man, the larva inside was killed first before they started the process of extracting the silk from the Pupa. The machine in the picture is basically is used to extract the silk.

These two ladies are the teachers that teaches young ladies how to make carpets. It depends on the size of the carpet. The length of making one carpet could take from months to years.

The ladies in our group was waiting for the men there to present to us carpets . We got attracted with the design. But the price was super expensive. But it is worth it to have one. Of course, you will be eating instant noodle for the next four years.

After the carpet place, we went to see the Fairy Chimneys. It is such an amazing place to see and be at. People actually live inside the chimneys. They dig lower if they want to make their house bigger. If I am not mistaken, they have to get permission in order for them to do that.

One of the popular chimneys as it looks like a camel.

This is mushroom top Fairy Chimneys.

This one is one huge Chimney.

We had our lunch at Sarikaya Restaurant. It is at Avanos Village.

While we had our lunch, there were some entertainment. Look at the decoration inside the restaurant. Fantastic.

Then we went to a pottery factory. This man was making a plate by using the rocks that has been soften. (If I am not mistaken)

The decorations on the plates or trays are all hand painted. The man on the right was actually doing a very detail design. Not using any specs, not magnifying glass. Super cool.

Big things such as a vase like this, they use clay. Ignore our tour guide in the background. He did not play anything. He was just holding the instrument.

At night, My hubby and her sister and also the rest of the group went to watch the Whirlish Dervish.

That night we stayed at Dinler hotel. It was the best hotel we had. Really good. See it at www.dinler.com
