The Dream

Have you ever woke up from your sleep and find yourself by the edge of the bed desperately trying to remember your dream? You frantically force yourself at recalling every bit of the dream; each and every plot and every single chapter there was to it; fearing that once you let one single plot slip from your absentminded brain you might never recall it forever? That was what I experienced this morning when I woke up. I dreamt of Hanum. May the happiness and peace she potrayed in her face signifies her reward from Rabbul Jalil in the hereafter, Amin.

Snow, snow on me!

Honey and I decided to make full use of the christmas sales at Mid Valley to pamper ourselves with some brand new perfumes. Bringing over the kids, they had a good time since Mid Valley was having some some sort of christmas snow show where they had this snow simulator where it would rain down some snow every 5 minutes. Cool!

Iman takut kena snow. Mintak ayah selamatkan!

Danishah? Nah, Danish with the wig! Sibuk je nak pakai wig ni sementara Ibu dia shop for some hair bands

Old friends, old memories...

Been there, done that. Well, I hate saying this again but hey, I kinda suck at updating this blog this few couples of week. That I must admit. Hope this doesn't last long though. This week we are staying at mother-in-law's since Honey had started doing prepparations for my brother-in-law's hantaran and stuffs. He (Kamal) will tie the knob somewhere in May next year and like a wizard and her magic wand, Honey dearie is keeping her hands busy starting doing this and that. And poor me had to be the babysitter while wifey is busy at her stuffs! Not too bad though. Giving me some time to spend with Danish and Iman when I get back from the office! The fatique after a tiring day at work and a pain-in-the-ass traffic jam drive just fade away after having both of them in my arms! Ahhh, therapeutic. Save me money for paying for massage!

Facebook had really done it's part and was a big help in getting me back in touch will all those missing-in-action friends. Buddies from university days in UNITEN-IUPUI, SMSAH, Maahad Muhammadi and even my primary dudes in Kamil 1. (We even had a gathering last raya, believe it or not. And that was not until 18 long years! Wow, come to think of it...).

Recently, Honey had got back in touch with one of her close friend during school times. She wanted to find her so badly since before our wedding but was frustrated with no trace of her. One thing Honey remembered was her friend once told her that her father would marry her off if she didn't get to go to university after SPM. How we joked about it. Kena pulak bila dah frust carik2 tak jumpa, we both made the assumption that dia dah beranak pinak la kot. All of a sudden there she was in Facebook! How it made my wife's day. Is that cool or what?! Thanx Facebook!

Swiss Garden Resort & Spa Kuantan

It's been quite sometime since my last update. Work has been a bit tight lately, pressure has been rising with some bad news from our principal in the US. They couldn't supply the units for the National Heart Institute on time due to the consent degree problem and it's been dragging and dragging since September till oh-my-god-I-dunno-when. On a much happier note, Danish and Iman has grown up really fast. Iman has now obtained her full license in 'walking-around-the-house' and big brother is giving her every help she needs. Cuma kadang2 ada gak dia nyakat2 Iman just to amuse her so memang kena monitor la dua orang adik beradik tu. Isk isk isk, anak sapooo...

And yeah, we went for a holiday in Kuantan last month to took a time off a bit. Unlike big brother Danish Haiqal who kept daddy busy with his curiosity sets of questions, our precious one-year-and-two-months daughter, Iman Syuhada slept well during the 2 hours journey from KL to Kuantan. Good girl! Giving her Ibu some opportunity to take some nap once in a while when daddy was helplessly yawning here and there! Here are some snaps that we took during our holiday at Swiss Garden Resort & Spa Kuantan.

Iman tanya, bila nak sampai ni Ibu?

Our freezer is out!

Our fridge's freezer is out. The ice just wouldn't freeze. And I bet it is really dissapointing considering the hot, cruel weather these days. Tekak pulak cam saje je nak bagi hangin. Time camni la rasa nak minum ice manjang pon!


Fact is, it's been out for some time now. It's just that I didn't get the time to even care for it considering our extensive travelling and also things that happened around us here and there with us backpacking at my in-law's most of the time. Browsed through the internet for the fridge's service agent yesterday and emailed my complaint. They were quick to response when a lady called me up the next day.

Lady : "According to our record, we notice that your fridge is quite some time already ye encik?"

Nearly some time? What? We bought it soon after our wedding during our days in Kota Damansara. Been 5 years already lor. But hey, takkan tiap2 tahun nak beli peti sejuk kot. And if I can recall, my late granma's fridge is still kicking. Tu dah tau dah brapa tahun dah, zaman tok kodok lagi. As a matter of fact, fridge tu my mum lak yang guna after her refrigerator also failed her.

Me : "5 years"

Lady : Yes. The warranty is over already. If you agree, we would send our guys over to your house and check the fridge. RM30 for transportation and another RM50 for checking and service. If the gas needs to be refilled, we will have to charge another RM150.

Me : "Cool. Does Monday sounds good to you guys?"

There. Had it done. Hope they can fix it on the spot instead of taking Mr. Ice out to a trip to their factory and stuffs, where he once belonged!

Gosh, Syawal's done

Looks like it's already the 30th of October. Which also means that we are in the 30th day of Syawal. Don't really think that we got enough of raya though. We miss A LOT of fraternal friends open houses, some birthday bashes and also a close friend's wedding. Kinda upsetting though considering you don't get to get together with all your friends and relatives too much in any normal month. Syawal is obviously the month that you don't need a reason to get together and meet those friends that you rarely hang out with and stuffs. Well, talking about priority.



p/s : Danish sleeping in the car on the way back from balik kampung.

The many faces of Iman Syuhada

Iman, camne muka sedih?

Iman's new skill is to make the sad face everytime we ask her to do so. We would go like, "Iman, buat muka sad camne Iman?"... As soon as she hears the word sad, her face would turn from smiles to a frowning little baby! And it make us laugh like crazy to see her do that over and over again. Especially Ayah dia la kan? Adeh, takleh tahan la... And yeah, talking about skills, she had successfully obtained her 'L' license, walking almost most of the time with her sifu brother Danish!

Danish gets in some super duper convocation mood before Aunty Ha returns her convo robe!
