it has been too quiet

I recently picked up a habit of having the television on and ignore it like it is not even there. which is very unhealthy.


it becomes a routine to make sure the television is on no matter what makes everyone occupy. maybe the body is there listening hardly but definitely not watching. eyes are focused to other screen, the smaller ones. fingers dance fast almost everyone can hear. very quiet, you once thought it is a library. no voice, except from the television. try turn it off, you'll listen the wind blows from the fan.


losing the real connection. get a day off for wireless connection so that everyone could sit together and start sharing again.

the perfect two

redha dan pasrah itu tak sama. redha itu ikhlas tapi pasrah itu menyerah  (ombak rindu, 2011).


so next time, dont simply say. think wise.


it was a bit late to watch the movie considering the good recommendation and praises received from press and audience since the first preview.


that piece was my first malay novel read borrowed from a friend when I was in high school.  it was a purple cover book that I held dearly and willingly to burn the midnight oil to just know the ending. what a memory. the movie was okay, the actor is charming (bet he'll look even better with nicer outfit) and the actresses did well too.  the setting - carves at the door of his mum's house, hariz and izzah's room, the swing facing the sea was spectacular.

it is only I personally like it better in words compared to moving pictures. I'm not particularly fancy reading (it brings me to sleep most of the times!), but  reading gives me more freedom. I enjoy letting the mind wander, imagine without having any sense of guilt. I just feel so wrong watching malay movies with few parts which I think are best not to be included.

it was something. and what I love the most is the song. it compliments the story well. just perfect.

we are family

what will you do if you know at the end of the day all you have is only few days left to live?

                                                                go and watch. you'll understand that love isn't all about happiness.

                                                                                         it also asks for sacrifices and learning to let go. :') 




                                                                                                    a truly masterpiece that touches the heart.
                                                                             and adore the family photos hanging around in the house. 
                                                                  you'll know if you watch - very homely as someone used to say!  

even words cant explain

memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

penang

the last destination was penang, always be the favourite one. visited queensbay and enjoyed giggling and laughing with alvin and his very very cute friends. finally granted the wish after so long. and be in the swimming pool for the rest of the evening made the day even better. the next morning, after an hour of morning exercise in the pool, we packed up and ready to head home. a request from mum to stop at gurney plaza allowed everyone to do some year end shopping (and of course she managed to grab carlorino with her), lunch at padang kota, lost in searching ssf home deco even with the help of gps, surrendered and took the ferry to go home. everyone was really exhausted.


already home when realized there was no photo taken in penang.

lost world of tambun

the next day spent at lost word of tambun with the siblings;

quick, spot us!  

 it may look beautiful but it does bite when it comes to food. trust me!

 patiently waiting for tiger show 

as you know, he loves fishing!

she fed a bird at petting zoo 

 our tarzans 

we also experienced tin panning 

cameron highlands

it wasn't in the plan to go to cameron highlands in the first place as we were all agreed with other two destinations, but dear ayah was so kind wanted me to revisit the place after 12 years, which led us to spend a night up there. the last time was in 2000 to celebrate my UPSR. just reminds me how much i grew since then. we took the road uphill from simpang pulai according to ayah is not as steep as tapah's, plus nearer for us from north too. the view along the journey was simply breathtaking! it was very chill, windy but refreshing!

on the way up, we stopped at a strawberry farm; 

there are so many shops sell lots of things from fresh products to souvenirs for tourists at tringkap. the siblings decided to have a tour around the rose valley while dear parents chose to walk around looking at the stuffs offered along the road. we had a great time inside the valley, and took pictures with almost every flower blooming in the garden!

the least thing i would guess to happen at cameron highlands is traffic jam, yet no far from brinchang, where we booked a room to stay, that exactly happened. and the thing i also hope not to happen is alza to break down. unfortunately, the reality hit when we least expected., dont they? alza faced clutch problem and we were stranded for few hours not able to go anywhere and finally took a cab to the motel. this was what we did to kill the time.

night at brinchang was happening. the pasar malam is just a walking distance made me extra happy. i love fresh fruits and made bargain of strawberries and honey oranges! it was drizzling too which just added to the coldness of the night. since we were advised that alza might not be able to survive if it has to face traffic jam again, we left cameron highlands early morning the next day. it was short but i simply enjoyed the trip!

big day

congratulations, adam fahmi!

strolling the paddy field

an evening with the last. wish granted. :)

live well

post jogging. when mum and dad seriously walked around the reflexology path, i happily chose the short cut. its too painful i dont think i want to step on it again!


no jogging was done on the first day of 'let's live a healthy life' campaign :p instead we went easy by just walking and enjoyed the morning breeze. by the way the campaign ended there. we had nasi lemak for breakfast, got extra rice during lunch, enjoyed home made curry mee by dear second and mum tried pandan seri muka today which completely destroyed everything. who could resist those yummy food in the kitchen? definitely not me!


hey let's start again tomorrow.

day to night

so many things in the long list have to be written down. i'll start with this.

as of now, life means freedom. im moving away from a busy student life to a jobless graduate right now. till the posting news which is nowhere to be heard yet, i enjoy my every single day doing nothing. literally! i can sleep whenever i wish which means as early as ten and only wakes up when the sun says hello the world. i always love morning. and what makes morning at home more special is every time eyes are opened, dear loved ones are always be there around. 

staying home also gives me privilege to enjoy breakfast back. i dont mind not having bread or cookies or even a cup of milo at college but at home, i am well fed even for breakfast. remind me not to blame dear scale after a month of these very well dietary. plus no running or jogging done, what else do you need for a perfect life? -_-" when afternoon approaching, i humbly say hi to the kitchen. definitely not my place to shine, as there are too many to be learnt there and i always always left behind. sadly to admit, im away too far to be expert. sigh

most of the evenings at home spent with outdoor activities especially fishing. and that only happens after a compulsory high tea with whatever recipes mum tried. did i tell you thats her new hobby? it is. by the way dad and the last are the expert in this area, and i salute them for their very strong instinct. fishing isnt easy you know. you have to know when to let go and when to grab it back. not too fast yet not too slow. i dont think i fail miserably, it is just luck are not always at my side, perhaps? ;) and night is the time when everyone gets together. we are everywhere in the living room; doing whatever we please. as early as ten or evelen, everyone starts to wish goodnite. 

thats life and it is basically repeated everyday. we do almost the same things everyday but im thankful for the life He has been lending me now. it couldnt be more beautiful. 

decided to add more colours.

simple still; exactly how i always wanted it to be.

i last say goodbye

it has been a year. and i miss you terribly, the land of kangaroo.
