its the island hopping time

ok next update on this trip (kene update cepat coz makcik Ezany dah sibuk nak tanye itinerary. lol)

the most awaited one, island hopping (mak buyung tak sedo diri)

after breakfast we walked to the Jesselton point. inside, there's alot of counters that offers you the package. we just chose randomly counter no 2, took package trip to manukan and sapi island RM70
tips : sampai each pulau, they will ask u to pay the park entrance fee (mcm kat redang tu) RM3 kot per adult. so bayar lagila ye 

as we have only 45mins to spend at at sapi so kitorg just chill2 while HM play sand castle a while. at 11.15am our boat arrived and took us to manukan. we have almost 2hrs 30mins there and we are enjoying ourself. Less crowds, that's the beauty holidaying on weekdays and with the clear blue water, lagi fun! snorkeling  gear can be rented at RM10 - 1 set google tuh

ayah & anak poser haha

HM sibuk main ni la

less crowds, enjoy the sea!

fav island

journey balik boat rides sgt bumpy. yelah time tu abt almost 3pm, air pasang. doa je everything will be fine with si kecik inside. instructed the boatmen bawak slow sket.
sampai je jeti, semua kelaparan hahaha. mkn kasi kenyang be4 balik hotel

abt 530pm we went out again for last round of shopping and pasar phil (driving this time) and went to Tg Aru for a diff environment of food court. Kat sini famous ngn ABC spesel (if nak tgk how big and splurge is the abc spesel sila follow ig amirpistola) lol
kat foodcourt sini ada mcm2 tp tgk food gakla ada yg best and tak. i am so dead tired that night, must be the post-island-lagged. plus i have to start packing jugak. uwaaaaaaa
confirmed balik bilik kemas sket je lepas tu mmg pengsan, semua!

Sabah Trip #2- to KK

as i mentioned earlier, while at Kundasang the view in the morning that definitely not to be missed is the morning view of Mt Kinabalu as during this time je there's no clouds covering it. So harus enjoy and take the spectacular view. Please ensure you've got room with a view otherwise its such a wasted
Weather been so cold in fact we don't on the fan dlm room since windows are open. Fresh air kan!

Good am Mt Kinabalu!!

 I woke up at 6am and the sun has arise. Drinking the Sabah tea while enjoying the fresh air moment with superb view is ahhmaiizing. Susah nak dapat kat KL fresh air with view camni. Its such a blessed for the locals who stayed here for having this. Cold air and water everyday. LOL.

at 730am we went for breakfast. Food was biasa je but sedap. Varieties jugak.

i just cant stop seeing flowers blooming perfectly. They are so fresh and colorful. Geram

model x mandi w flowers

this about 830am

Then its time to packed and out from here heading to KK. Before that, a picture!

Journey di teruskan to all other interest places. no 1 in the list was Dairy Farm Kundasang yang femes dgn view ala2 NZ yang ada lembu tuh. about 10 mins from our place

kat sini you can get FRESH milk, gelato, ice cream and some souvenirs.
Plan nak amik tipikal pictures with all the lembu2 tu tak dapekla coz it was damn middle the field. So with mmbeekk pun jadila. We tried the gelato and its yummy, like this picture

See?

Next is menempuh perjalanan yang konah baring sana sini gak for almost 2hrs gak> while in the mids of road, we found Jambatan Tamparuli. Tapi takde mood nak amik picture coz perut cramp, lapar and damn hot. So just watch and say goodbye

if panas camni korg nak kene panjat jambatan tamparuli ni gak? kahkahkah so not for me

about 10mins from Jam. Tamparuli area, we reached the famous and maybe a bit overrated Rumah terbalik. Entrance fee was RM10/A. We were focusing more to the Restaurant mangga which is next to it for our lunch. Impressive that the price was affordable plus NO TAX/GST. awesome!

and so we're heading to Hotel Grandis at KK. so can't wait to check in to the new launched hotel. but the sad news staying at new hotel are swim pool tak siap lagi, got some minor defect ie: my water heater, in room but the rest are good. spacious room and all brand new. we're happy! breakfast was good and had lots varieties. the better best, (adake ayat camni) we're attached with the Suria mall and 5mins walking to the Jesselton Point for island hopping esok

mlm ni kita pegi makan seafood la.
we ordered 2 lobster (grilled), sotong goreng tepung, sayur kailan, nasi putih, variety drinks, ikan sebelah, ketam andd.... (ada lgke? haha lupa) with total only RM250++ divide by 3 couples. cer korg kira. murah kan. the place be4 pasar phil and from far korg akan tgk byk white tents yg mmg offer seafood jelah

Sabah Trip

the long awaited break , to sabah we go with another 2 couples
 here's a short info for my trip :

1. Flight malindo - RM330 (return) 3 paxs
2. kereta sewa exora - RM350 - 3 nights
3. minyak keta : RM100 - 4 days

Hotels :

Kundasang - Kinabalu Pine Resort RM230 nett/room - incl bfast + dinner

Hotel Grandis at KK RM220nett/superior room - incl bfast (5mins walking to Jesselton Point)

Day 1

our flight was at 0745hrs with malindo via KLIA

my review : ample leg space, snack were ok (biskut +mineral) je pun, but ada jugak di jual meal if you wish to purchase (RM12 - food + drink)

entertainment pun ado gak so ok tak boringla

Reached KKIA, we took our Exora car and fixed our waze to Kundasang which took approx 2hrs+ (depend how u drive gakla)

Journey memula ok then lelama dah macam nak pi Cameron, mcm ular. being 6mo preggy boleh sakit pinggang dok lelama dlm keta ngn anak lagi

so later we stop at Nabalu, such a nice and cold place for a break

Tips : if nak beli colored t-shirt/souvenir better buy here as way cheaper than pasar Phil

and after the pening journey konah sana sini to reach Kundasang, we finally saw the sign of Kinabalu Pine Resort. weehooo. we need to stretch outttt

Kinabalu Pine resort

market yang jual fresh veges and fruits 

the small town, takde ape pung

and we give ourself almost 1.5hrs to relax and refresh. here the sunset is earlier than at KL,

so if nak buat activity better be earlyla. We olls just pergi to the nearest town to look out and lepak for a tea and snacks while waiting the sun down

after some real refreshment back in the room, we're gonna have our dinner. Food was scrumptious eventho just a simple one but they way they cooked it is nice, or maybe all of us were hungry. lol

and the night ends with just spending time in the room and hope that we're up early for the sunrise which is definitely not to be missed!

mt kinabalu covered with clouds

depan our blocks, heading for dinner

We are 5 years today!

Happy 5th Anniversary to us!!

literally it's our 7th years together as we took almost 2 yrs to known each other and decided to end it with an official relationship (it's more to 1 and half yrs la)

To refresh the old memories, we knew each other through friends. Well, we have  same cycle of friends (small world) and it was during that time that i love to spent times with my bunch of single friends and just don't think about serious relationship (obviously i've been trying hard after been dumped from my monkey love.uh-oh -____- )

getting know other guys and was hoping to get over the stupid a** ex-bf is such an immature me (now baru realize that. lol) but i don't regret that as i've met quite few decent and interesting guys that moment

we learnt from mistake kan. lol

when i taught that i almost give up and just strolling my life and enjoy with my friends then i met my husband. He is such a quite-type-of-person (he still, unlike me) but had a good observation

He got my no and YM ID chat and we had a chat. Carrying on life as friends (duhh) and did so much activities together which literally made us getting close till the day he popped that "special" question of me becoming his special GF (awws)

Then another new phase to continue and its getting serious where we talked about marriage
stuff etc. So i guess both of us are ready for it

a day before we got engaged

celebrating his birthday on 2008

i haven't figure out that i am conceived at this trip to Cameron. one of our usual honeymoon
 activities  on Nov 2009

celebrating his birthday 

our first honeymoon trip on July 2009

11th May 2008, we engaged for less than a year and on 28th March 2009, we were officially husband and wife. Solemnization were at Bukit Indah Mosque, witnessed by both family members and closed friends. A week later, 3-4 April 2009, we had our reception both at me and his place. 

And today we are at our 5th year, passing one stage in married life. i know there's more to come but i hope we'll be able to go through the ups and downs together and cherish every moment. 

and a baby is coming in a few months. be prepared

MH370

dated 8 march 2014, all of us were saddened by the missing of flight MH370 frm KL-Beijing
it was reported to be missing from its route as it did not appear at Beijing. Time tu hari Sabtu. So i've been following the updates every hour. Never in my life to be so focus getting know about something. Somehow it touched me, maybe coz i am a frequent flyer too, naik plane to travel regardless of which airlines it is.

From Astro awani, switched to TV3, CNN, BBC, SKynews, semua channel berita i watched to get different angle of stories and updates. But still the same. Nothing to be found yet
I knew that Msia govt and so does other countries who are kind enough to helped us finding the plane, were doing their very best. Terima kasih to all the team members yg joined the SAR (search and rescue) mission.

All of us, the whole world unites coz of this. All of us are praying and hoping that at least something could be found. Walau ikut fikir logic and sensed that after days gone by, macam susah nak jumpa. But we couldn't give up. especially family members of the passengers and crews. Tapi sebagai umat Islam yg percaya pd Qada' & Qadar, kita harus percaya ketentuan Allah. i knew Allah has something for us of what's happening

Susah sgt nak describe our feeling. Tho it doesn't happen to us, but put yourself in their shoes yang ada anak/bapak/menantu dlm plane tu? It could be us. So those yang dlm FB yg dok kekdg tulis status merapu and macam org takde perasaan tu nak kaitkan w politics/teori this and that, just stop la. Mmg baanyaak sgt questions and how, why, where to semua ada tp isn't it good if we just pray and doa kan mereka to be safe and sound. Respect some feelings.

and last nite at 10pm 24th March 2014, Najib announced that the MH370 ended at Hindi Ocean with the latest info received from AAIB UK. Allah, luruh jantung dgr macam death sentences je.

Kepada Captain and FO serta crews MH370
you have made us proud
kami doakan agar anda ditempatkan dikalangan orang yang beriman and rest in peace
thank you for serving us your last flight at the very best level

to all passengers of MH370
regardless of what beliefs and race are you, our thoughts and prayers will always be with us
we might never know what's really happening, but i'm sure you have a special place in our heart. the whole world unites and pray because of you

to the family members of the captains, crews and passengers
berat bahu memandang, berat lagi anda yg memikul
i hope and pray that you will accept the faith that has been destined, tho i knew it's gonna be hard. Please know that we are here for you, no words could ever describe it the feelings.

Ya Allah, jika inilah takdir and ketentuan Mu, kami redha.
kami terima nasib and berita ini
Jika ada secebis kasihan Mu pada hamba2 Mu ini, berilah at least sedikit ruang/peluang utk kami tahu akan ape yang terjadi atau ada petunjuk
Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin

what? 3 yr 9mo now

time flies so so fast till i loose track of HM's age (hate to counting the months, unlike us adults when ppl asking what's your age and you just answer "17/25/40yo" )

so babycenter sent a reminder that HM is 3y 9mo today and in few months she'll turn to 4 and becoming a big girl (pray that her adik due date is same with her, 21 July hehe)

It's reaching to the first term of school too, where's the school holiday is started, like esok!
i don't really have a plan for her throughout this time break as her ayah will be away for a cruise, i'll be working but soon after that we'll be on holiday mode. ngeeee

Tho for a 3months HM has been in the kindy but i can see some development and milestone. Tho tak complete sentences but now she knows how to recite doa makan (yang berterabur tu) and we will said amin :D . she recognizes numbers and alphabet (before this more to hafal je) . She can also remembered all her teachers & friends name. The name that i used to hear is Aiman Shazwan (teacher said this boy like her. lol), kaisara, danish etc
Started to talked like an adult now, ayat tah panjang beno but still ada up and down
I didn't expect my girl to be so clever in a second but more for her to enjoy her times with friends plus gaining something new. I don't really agree the idea of competing my child with others as each kid has their own talents. So just enjoy the moment together

Soon she'll becoming a big kakak and hope she will stay to be a good one to all of us
