deepavali weekend

we (me, wan, azrah, harris n nae) went to kl pavilion on saturday .. ended up i've spent almost RM800. i bought facial skian care products at Faceshop .. wan and kids bought books .. we ate at Korean stall ... we ordered

• 1 bibimbap (stone mixed rice) - very delicious even though it's hot ...don't have any different with the one we had in Korea






• Beef BBQ - we couldn't had it in Korea since it's nonhalal .. but it's taste great here... so we don't know the diff ... but even the octopus bbq in Korea was also great.






• Duppoki - it was made from rice flour ... but the taste in Korea was lot better than here...






• korean Pan Cake - even though we had not eaten it in Korea .. it's taste great .. but the one we had at North Korean Restaurant is lot better than this...



• Kimchi Soup - it's taste better in Korea...

but unfortunattely i forgot ta snap pictures of those foods ... why? because i'm so excited to eat ...i was terribly hungry at that time... but here i post the one we had in Korea ...

this is steam boat .... best gak ... this one we had in Korea for the first meal when we arrived in Seoul

later we had iced coffee at coffee bean .. it's seems that the pictures can't been iploaded .. i'll try in new entry

it's still Syawal

today is 22nd day of Syawal ... i've just started Puasa on Monday.. today is my third day ... yesterday got religious class .. the Ustaz said if we joint Qada' n Puasa 6 ... only one will be rewarded ... it'll likely Qada' since it's the prime intention .... i'm sad coz... it's only 7 days left before Syawal end... i have to Qada' 8 days ..i did it two ... left 6 more days ... i thought if i could combine it together .. i envy whoever could complete full month like jah this year n add another 6 more days on Syawal...yesterday the Ustaz told me the reason why fasting a month in Ramadhan plus 6 days in Syawal equivalent to a year .. because during life after death ... 1 day here equivalent to 10 days so 36 days of fasting equivalent to 360 days .. it's means a year ... so now only i knew about this...

There were many open house held during weekends .. last weekend i attended 6 houses ... we did't have to cook at all during weekend these days... today i also got one dinner invitation .. it's not really a dinner it's more to family gathering since one of my husband's cousin gonna fly back to UK this monday .. so we're having family gath actually since most of us can't make it on this weekend .. i declined so many open house invitation on this Saturday since i want to go out with my husband and sister ... it's been a while since we're having our own time ... so this saturday ... we're going to KL Pavilion for the second time .. i.m not pretty sure what i'm looking for there ... but most probably i want to eat Korean Food again and maybe looking for a couple of books ... and i want to buy new HP ..

Here are some pictures taken on last Sunday at our Cousin's house in Nilai ...

My nose is still like this!!!

My ulcers already disappeared, but my nose is still the same... i can't breathe properly ... sometimes i've to breathe through mouth .. it's really uncomfortable... but i think that i've to be thankful since i can eat now...plus i can sleep early ... if i'm healthy, most of times would be in front of pc. Now i got to sleep by 10pm.

We went to my aunt's open house on Sunday ... there's a lot of foods ... but the most atttracting dish was Masak Lemak Cili Padi Ikan Tenggiri. it was super duper delicious. i ate three times ... hahahah .. even though my ulcers was not fully cured that time, but i managed to eat that day. I am really thankful. Alhamdulillah.

Not really well again .. it's been two days since i've got a terrible headache. It's really burdensome. My son is getting better. but my daughter seems to have flu lately.

Yesterday i got a call from her teacher, it's 1pm at that time. i still remember the way she talked. it's almost killing me. The way she started her conversation really make my heart pounded.

Teacher : Puan, tadi masa hantar azrah balik, sebelum dia naik lif

.. and she stopped there.. that's when my heart pounded and then she continued

kawan dia lontar kasut kena hidung dia. boleh tolong check tak dengan maid Puan wether she's okay or not.

Me : Ooo i c. ok .. i'll check on her. thanks

The reason why i trembled was i knew very well the elevator location, how other drivers recklessly drove near the lift and how the kids just ran out from the elevator and the car. And the prime reason was how the teacher started the conversation. The only thing that i want and never forget to pray everyday is my kids safety. It's all i want. It's ok if my daughter got no 3 in her class. It's ok if she couldn't finish her homework. It's also ok if she didn't want to attend school. Just let them be safe and healthy.

Even Harris looks thinner nowadays due to flu, cough and fever. I pity my kids since i'm also not in a good condition, i spent less time with them lately. Fortunately my husband is still off shift until tomorrow.

i want to try uploading apicture here .. but i don't know how... which button should i press? let's try this .. maybe the photo will not relate to ths entry.. just a trial..

me at home on weekend

it's saturday ... and i'm at home ... slept twice already for a day....
i've got two open house invitations... but neither of them i managed to go .. my son got a cough and flu... and i'm also not in a good cond... i've got sore throat, blocking nose and three ulcers in my mouth that really kill my appetite... i lost a kilo in a week due to this... last three days .. i couldn't even eat anything at all...

tomorrow.. there's another open houes and it's my aunt... it wouldn't be nice if i couldn't show up... so i'll try my best to be there ... whether i can eat or not .. it's another story.... as long as i've to be there to respect the invitation and the elders...

but i think maybe it's because i ate too much on the first two days of hari raya ... i ate so many kind of foods... most of them were greasy ... it's resulted to my sore throat ... my ulcers... i never can get away from it once i'm at my hometown ... maybe because it's too hot there .. or maybe because it's too near to the beach ... the air is very dry there ....

my hari raya was doing fine... on the first day .. we wore purple clothes ... we supposed to wear green ... since my sister in law only joint us on the second day, we wore the green one on the second day ... purposely for the photo shoot... even though my sister in law's family wore red on that day... however ... this hari raya was fun to me...

it's nice every time i could visit my mother-in-law hometown in rembau... i really love kampung scenery and ambience ... the foods were delicious... even though i only manage to visit them once in two years ... but i really enjoyed it.... 7 years back... i couldn't even understand what they're talking about ... their dialect are so unique - minang ... however i understand it very well now even i couldn't speak the dialect very well...

my fav foods from rembau ... definitely their home made lemang, kuah kacang, rendang ... and this hari raya .. i found new dish... rendang maman ... waaa it's so delicious... waaa... i have to wait another two years to find those dishes again....

at my hometown ... i couldn't manage to eat much this hari raya since ... the sore throat was already with me once i got there ... but surprisingly ... all my younger sisters were not doing fine for the whole hari raya ... i thought it just our family but when i was back to the office ... most of my office mates even my boss were not doing fine....

But we were able to hold a bbq party(was it a party?) It was so nice since everybody was there.. we grilled more than three kilos of fish, chickens.. sausages, prawns and squid... all the seafoods were fresh. just been brought back by the fishermen...they were deliciuos ate with air asam.... wow!!!

however ... i managed to finish my mgmt acc for sept at 7.15pm yesterday ... how fortunate...i've three more reports to be done and submitted by the end of next week... fighting azihan
