Visiting D' Camels!
|
|
Balik saja dari beli groceries, Daddy asked us whether we want to go to camel's farm as some of the friends planned to go. Wow, this is a good one rite?? Something different compared with the usual shopping malls + coffee..  . Since Akeef + Azeef pun dah agak sihat so, Mummy quickly prepared our lunch as after Asar we are off to Malaz untuk berkumpul.
The Dad's...
 
Kita convoy ramai2... kalau nak pergi sendiri ke tempat2 macam ini, memang la tak berani dan tak fun kan.. Sampai aja, rupanya it's not a farm but is just like a stop ditepi jalan where they sell susu unta directly taken from the camels. That's cool..
We just arrived..
This is indeed a good experience for the kids and even for me + hubby. I think I prefer this place compared visiting the farm itself. Kurang sikit bau busuk unta nih..  and futhermore tepi jalan, kita pun tak la takut sangat..
Malaysian's Riyadh.
Jom kita serbu...
The kids yang happy sangat.. mana taknya, selalu nampak camel tepi2 highway pastu tak sampai 2 saat dah hilang unta dari pandangan kita. Daddy is speeding! .
Haaa, tengok tu Gif, so kagum dah nampak camel yang banyak sangat... 
Meh kita posing sikit | Tapi si budak Akeef tu nape la moody je sayang.. 
**This photo is taken from Uncle Rahim's FB. Thanks ya..**
 
Uncle Azmi ni mungkin tengah berborak bahasa unta barangkali.. 
 
Ehemmm, ni betul2 romantik ni dua merpati sejoli, berdating di kebun unta..
Me + Zuhra + the warm susu untaaa... srupppp.
Tolong perah susu tu cepat, saya nak minummm .
In action ke memang minum ni?? Sedappppppp..
 
Lepas minum kita kasi unta makan & touch2 sikit..
 
Kakak with the Pak Arab gembala unta.
Moms
Dads
Apa la Pak arab ni nak kat aku nih... suh beli susu unta barangkali itu..
Yayyyy!. The end...til we meet again. Maybe with Atuk 1 day?
**Another photo from Uncle Abdul Rahim's FB**
 
Later, Daddy felt hungry and would like to have pizza for dinner and we chose Pizza Hut.
Posing while waiting for the pizza and later, for the door open due to closure for solah.
Akeef dah kenyang & he is cheerful now! Mummy love u both ye...
 
The beautiful tower in Riyadh at nite - Faisaliah Tower. I love the mall too..
Okay kids, we really had so much fun today!.

Homemade Mushroom Soup
|
|
Thank you to Niza Baron in UK for the delicious healty receipe!. After 2nd trial, YES! I made it.
What else can Mummy do.....cook, cook and cook. This is the only job and the skill that I think I can improve. The foods that are good and acceptable for us while staying here, are the ones that we cooked. So here we go...
After this I won't buy the canned mushroom soup.. as it's not our taste anymore.
Tadaaaa...

Dinner by Chef Aryssa Aryanna :-)
|
|
Hi...I'm Chef Aryssa Aryanna, let's prepare a dish with me today.... "Nak jadi Chef la pulak... aritu cakap nak jadi Hannah Montana..''
1st ~ arrange the lettuces accordingly depending on your likes, but for my plate just keep it to the minimal as I dont like to eat it...
2nd ~ fry the sausages with butter.
3rd ~ and then fry the egg - telur dadar type, buat love shape sikit kat situ.
4th ~ Wrap the sausages with the fried egg...
5th ~ Taadaaaaaaa... done! Simple rite..?
Mummy makan toast, green apple + honey aja ok...
All the ingredients, prepared by my mom... Heeee. The end.
She had asked me to prepare the western dinner tonite berangan nak jadi chef...actually dia tak nak makan nasi, dah jemu katanya, since I have yet to prepare the dinner I just guided her. Its really fun! tapi renyah layan budak ni...3 bulan lagi baru suh dia masuk dapur...tengok tu, pegang telur nak balut tu pun hujung2 jari... auuwwwwwww! macam la kotor jari tu semua. Tapi kata nak masak.
Yayyy!! Daddy's back...kids are so happy. Daddy macam biasa, sentiasa balik lambat... in Saudi 7pm dah consider too late. Tengok tukang masak tu.. leka betul. Takut esok leh naik 500. Nanti bole share lens dengan Daddy.
Lets eat!.
| Quote: | Sal ~ Anak dara saya ni ikut mood Auntie Sal.. tiba dia rajin, jangankan masak, uban ayahnya pun dia bole cari..tiba malas, rambut dia pun bole lupa nak sikat.
Liyana ~ Rajin ikut mood je tu..
Liz ~ Ok Auntie Liz, kalau dia tak nak, Mummy dia pun leh buatkan. Special.

Happy sangat, 2 hari yang lepas kita dapat jumpa Atuk + Uwan. Cyber talk pun takperlah...delayed communication pun tak apa lah... kan?? tak kisah la tu semua janji dapat tengok live wajah orang2 yang Mummy sayang...
Tengok tu Daddy...jam dah pukul 3pm pun masih kat rumah tak pegi office lagi.. isk, isk, isk... leka betul tu.
Atuk ada cakap, Mummy kurus sikit..  dan Daddy dah naik sikit...bagus agaknya kat sana. Hehehh, Atuk memang macam tu, dari dulu sampai sekarang memang tidak akan lekang ingatkan Mummy supaya jangan gemuk2. Tapi Bah, kalau nanti gomok jugak macam mana??? 
Atuk + Uwan visited Pakcik in Perlis last weekend. Sebelum ni, Mummy dengan Aunty Liz la yang selalu berborak dalam YM, selain dari cousin Mummy Aunty Rin + a few friends. Early last week Aunty Liz cakap Atuk nak mai umah di Perlis...wahhhh!!! punya la Mummy happy! sebab nanti dapat tengok Abah, Umi, Aman live. Alhamdullilah inilah hasilnya... Mmmm, patut la mata ni berkedip2 rupanya nak tengok orang jauh..

Ready for Winter??
|
|
Kids..... are you ready for winter?? Hehehhh why should Mummy asked you guys. Mummy or even Daddy also do not know how's the winter like in Saudi. Mostly...we knew from the senior residences here. But we cant wait for the experience as before this we never knew that Saudi has this season. Cannot imagine the situation should the temperature reaches below -ve Celcius. Even now, dah terasa the cold breeze and the nights become longer. 5pm dah kira senja and based on previous time, there will come a time where Maghrib masuk pukul 4:55pm.
Anyway, for the coming month, we don't have plan to go anywhere yet...as we just do some preparation for the winter. Belilah jackets and long johns later. Rugi rasanyer tak beli kat Bandung dulu. Gap's brand pun from Indonesia. Anyway, our plan nak pergi Umrah end of this week kena postpone as entry to Kota Mekah dah ketat. Police dah starts monitor the checkpoints sebab tak nak orang bermalam sehingga musimh Haji. Insya-Allah, bulan December nanti kami kembali ke sana. Semoga kita semua di berikan kesihatan yang baik. Amin.
Further this month is our 12th years wedding anniversary...another celebration outside Malaysia.
Muka Mummy yang tengah penat...2 malam dok tidur2 ayam masa Gif 1st demam hari tu..
All these pixs was taken last 2 weeks, once balik dari sini Akeef terus demam.... Nasib bukan Daddy yang demam.. . Riyadh Gallery now is having a good sale... My aiming for the Aldo sandle. Should I.. or 'should'nt? ermm... The final say would be my hubby... if he think yes.. I'll grab it, if he say no.. nx time then next time lorrr..
Haa, kan cantik tu senyum.. . Itu statement dari my hubby ok....itu pun lepas dia buat kelakar... baru la ceria...
| Quote: | RNZ ~
Sherry ~ Hai Sherryyyyyyyyyy..... miss you too!!!  Insya Allah, I balik February ni..nanti kita lunch sama2 ye... tak sabar. Shopping sini sama aja u kat Malaysia.. Best la jugak sini...walau kadang tu terasa di negara kita lagi sonok.. Sherry, amacam? Suh Tepet try Alinma, kot2 ada ke? Baru la bertambah gumbira lagi I kat sini..
Ita ~ for winter!! bkn kat london je tau ada winter tau... Ye ker? Ni yang tak sabar nih Ita..Ok2, nanti I check email ye... |

Season Change...
|
|
Riyadh's temperature now is 20'C in the morning and 32'C in the afternoon. I can feel the cold breeze especially when we are outside in the morning or night time. Well, because of the transition in season, ramailah orang yang akan sakit especially fever, cough and flu...
Gif demam balik..Uwaaaa...Gif demam balik...maybe berjangkit dari Abang dia. So now, I have 2 patients in my hospital - I am the doctor and nurse ok..Wondering when can Mummy have my own free time sayang?
Gif's tempreture....It's high!.
Usually, when the kids are sick, I will have countless restless nights and every hour I'll be automatically awake monitoring your temperature. It made me think of your late Uwan when I was the same age as you....
Akeef & Gif, get well soon ye sayang...please, only few days to go to Mummy + Daddy's Anniversary....
 
Last weekend, tak dapat nak kemana. Our plans need to be scrapped. We have two events planned i.e. Asean Women Circle's Bazaar at the Indonesian Embassy and function at one of the Istirahaat. What can Mummy do as you guys are more more important... Sampaikan, we need to cancel our own function too. Anyway, Daddy dah apologized at the guests. The only place that we went was Chilli's.
Riyadh Town at 5pm wheres Maghrib is at 5.30pm now... it's the best time to ganti puasa nih...
Since tak larat nak masak we had dinner at Chilli's
The foods we ordered
While Daddy paying the bill, I get the kids to do some exercises at the restaurant's playland. Since you are sick, it showed that you are not happy and weak...kesiannya...
After that, Gif insisted for his Thomas + Friends' toy. So, Daddy had no choice but to find the Toy r' Us and luckily before went out, Daddy dah tanya directions from one of his friends earlier. We went in and searched for the toon toon.. tapi tak ada...since tak nak lama-lama being outside with the crowd, Mummy pun grab anything that similar with the T+F janji dia bentuk train...kan sayang?? Where Gif called it as "toon toon". Dah dapat terus kurang meragam but the hobby calling me Mummy without any reason masih sama...
We can't take many pictures as it is prohibited.
Gif happy with his toon...toon...Walapun kadang2 tu, dia diam sambil kerut dahi, macam tak sama aja yang macam dalam TV ni..
 
Our last weekend were filled with the kids crying, complaining and nagging. Mummy doa semoga Akit + Gif lekas sembuh...

Masak dengan penuh kasih + sayang
|
|
It's a touching feeling when your husband coming back from the office after fetching the kids from school said "Wah, sedapnya My....lapar ni." after seeing the lunch on the table. Dah habis makan tu then he continued said "Mummy, guess how much Abg spent for today?" Later with my guess semuanya tak betul, he said dengan wajah macam ler bank tak bayar his transport allowance... "I just spent SR14 today for topping up the petrol to full tank." Kalau tak isi minyak, he spent 00 for today. The full tank can last him for 2 weeks..... Untuk Farid Noordin, kalau baca ni jangan sedih ok...Sar14 = RM14. Banyok minyok tau kat Trengganu kita.. mane la perginya ye...
Oh, such a wonderful feeling when seeing him happy. The main point here is not because of the money, but the value of the money yang di curahkan tu. Selebihnya, keletihan as fetching the kids at school and office works dibayar dengan makanan yang menggenyangkan dari airtangan isterinya. Tidak lagi airtangan bibik yang tolong kakak restaurant di Jln Punchak or even The Weld dulu, airtangan mamak yang menebar roti canai, or even airtangan arabs or Pinoy yang prepare kan the fast food.... Jangan la kecil hati yang kat Malaysia tu.. bukan selamanya pun dapat makan lunch macam ni.
Today's lunch
Sup Tulang, Pegedil, Sambungan Pecal + Sambal Kicap
1st time in our marriage, Daddy is having lunch at home during working hours. Sebelum ni memang peliklahkan kalau sama-sama both of us ada masa nak makan rumah, unless kalau cuti... Just in Saudi, you can have this advantage, Alhamdullilah. Well done Riyadh!. Hubby's bosses dah paham his routine dan kalau nak buat meeting either before 1pm or after 3pm as his lunch hour nowsdays is between 1.30pm - 2.30pm. Thanks to Dr Sulaiman and Dr Abbas for the understanding and approval.
 
The kids just came back and take a rest 1st... penat ye sayang...
Cerita masak berbalas lagi with words..... "Mummy, Akit is a top 5 in the class for Maths quiz today!. The cleaver American boy scored the highest. Susah nak kalahkan dia." Dengan happynya Mummy pun peluk dia. Kakak was quite at first tapi lepas tu cakap, "My... rasanya Kakak pun bole get good mark in English." Hahhaa, macam tu la kalau anak2 dah besar....tapi jangan berlawan sampai membuatkan kita bergaduh ok...tak baik, berdosa. Bersaing dalam akademik tanpa perasaan iri dalam keluarga adalah yang terbaik - compliment to each other. Ada kelebihan yang Tuhan beri pada kita sayang, tidak sekarang nanti bila kita dah tingkat dewasa atau sudah berkerja....yang penting usaha, berani dan berdoa.
Please continue, don't you ever stop. Tak dapat the highest pun tak apa but Mummy want the results to be consistent and never go down from the top 10 highest scores.
Well DONE Akeef!.

Kembali Semula..
|
|
Salam to all friends out there!!
My apology for keeping low for awhile and the limited access to my FP. I need to re-organize, re-arrange and archiving my photos - including deleting few entries that were not supposed to be here. Anyway, the exercise has completed and I am ready to publish again..
Ramai kawan-kawan yang failed to access have requested the password and enquiry about the FP thru email, facebook. Thank you so much and I just realized that ramai juga kawan2 yang sudi meluangkan masa untuk baca my pictojournal. There is no intention to shut down only that I need to update the FP accordingly. Masa juga benar-benar tidak mengizinkan, since the school re-opened, I need to monitor the kids' progress and homeworks. Further, Gif yang recently having a high fever due to his troat infection, oh, pity our Gif..
Ni masa Gif tak sihat, dia demam sampai 39++ kesian meragam aja.
 
Hari ini I will try to upload few pixs and some notes here. "We Tell Sweet Stories" pinjam phrase trademark from Zuraidah of TV3's blog. Jangan charge royalty yer.... . Semlm dok baca Kak Zue punya entry, terbaca pulak salah sorang commenter yang tinggalkan comment in her blog to get my fotopages password...sorry la Kak Zue, your blog pun terkena tempias.
Alhamdullilah Gif dah fully recovered. Hope Gif tak demam lagi.. sebab susah la nak berurusan dengan unta-unta di sini... yang sorang bahasa ayam, sorang bahasa itik manakan sama. At last, I akan marah.. bila dah marah, what can we get?? Kecewa. Jadi, sebelum dikecewakan, baik kita lupakan pada mereka-mereka yang ada potential untuk mengecewakan kita lagi lepas ini.
Gif recovered. His action while kakak + abang is out for school. What is inside your head baby? 'Boringnya tak ada kawan, Mom.'.
Gif's activity...buat sepahh. I have yet to open "my class" for him... as he is just recovered from fever recently, maybe tomorrow Gif will start your fun fun lessons with Mummy ya!!... we start with coloring...then we do counting 1,2,3 in fun fun way 1st..
 
Lepas dah main dgn dia...at 11.00am I pun start la masuk office sambil curi-curi menjengguk ke dalam bilik risau apa dia buat sorang-sorang..
 
Today's lunch...
Ikan Tenggiri Masak Lemak Cili Api + potong tomato ermmm.. best juga
 
Sayur + sambal pecal.. Sambal pecal ni Ustazah Hani yang tunjukan kat mana nak dapat. Jadi kita belilah di Toko Indonesia memang sedap.
 
Ok....hari ini Daddy ada class Bahasa Arab @ King Saud University. Saja je sebenarnya Daddy nak ambik class ni. Rugi pulak duduk di sini tapi tak belajar basic communication. The class is held 3x times a week and among the classmates there are American, French, Korean, Armenian. Semuanya kata Daddy baru nak start A, B, C.
Ok, we continue later ya..
| Quote: | Yatie - Skg dah nak start winter Yatie, tu yg semua orang start sakit2.. now Akeef pulak, demam, batuk.. Abah + Umi, Insya Allah kalau tak ada aral, April next yr datang..
Et Etty - Haha, jgn sampai macam tu... Tkasih Et..
Pakcik Mamat - .Fav. movie Kak Zie nih. Rasanya boy siap share dalam FB.. Kim salam rindu kat Mama + Babah ye...
