Bicycle Ride

Assalamualaikum,

I had a wonderful, fruitful and joyous moment during my last weekend with my family in Temerloh. Kak Long Maisarah and Nabila both have a bicycle. However, both bicycles were out of order since almost a year ago. Thanks to me. Too busy with studying and working.


Maisarah is already 8 years old and she is still not capable of riding a bicycle, my poor little girl!


So, on Saturday, 9th of July, the day when the Bersih 2.0 rally took place in KL (takde kena mengena, hehehe), I went to a bicycle shop in Temerloh and had both the bicycles fixed. And my cute, adorable little boy, Hasif got a his first ever, 3-wheeled bicycle, Yeay!


So, here goes:-

  • 4 new hand brakes and brake cables for both bikes
  • 2 new paddles with Nabila's bike
  • A new, pink-coloured bell for each bike
  • A new set of bearing for Nabila's front tyre
  • Adjustment of alignment for Maisarah's front tyre and seat elevation

And they can't wait to Rock and Role!


Maisarah's bicycle - As good as new

Nabila's bike - a pink, 4-wheel ride!

The next morning we went to Kubang Gajah Park in Temerloh to practice. Initially it was very difficult for Maisarah to ride her bicycle. I have to hold the bike from behind and ran with her as she paddled. Nabila had no problem of course. She was riding her 4-wheel bicycle and she was speeding at 90km/hour    *laugh*



I am really proud of my eldest daughter, Maisarah. She practiced relentlessly. She fell multiple times with bruises over both her shins but she was persistent. We went to the park again in the afternoon for another practice session and to my surprise, she proudly demonstrated her newly acquired riding skill to me!! She rode her bicycle like a lipas kudung!

Kak Long bergaya dengan basikalnya...

Ni gaya Si Nabila pulak....bukan mainn lagi dia eksyen!


Nabila dan Maisarah bergaya dengan basikal masing2
  

Gedik nyer la Nabila ni...nak kena hantar sekolah agama awal budak ni...

Mama setia menungu dan memberi semangat


Well done Kak Long, Papa is very proud of you!!

Getting ready for Umrah!

Assalamualaikum,


AlhamdulilLah, everything is going according to plan:-

  • I have got permission from my Head of Department, Dato' Haji Zamyn Zuki...thank you very much Dato' for approving my leave
  • I have faxed all the relevant documents to my dad's PA - A copy of my birth certificate, Identification card (IC), Passport, and
  • I have submitted all the relevant forms to the Health Ministry for formal application to go oversea
  • I have renewed my passport this morning (my previous passport will expire in October 2011 ie less than 6 month from the date of the umrah

Again, I have to thank Dato' Zamyn for allowing me to go to the Immigration Department today during office hour. Luckily there are enough medical officer to cover the Spine Clinic. My fellow registrars covered me during my absence.


I went to Immigration Department in Subang. I wondered 3 times around the area before I found the office. It was my first time there. There was not too many people. The Immigration officer at the counter and at the Passport Renewal Kiosk were very pleasant and helpful. I'm glad!!


Tak ramai orang kat sini...

Pegawai Imigresen sedang melayan pelanggan...excellent service!

It just took me over an hour to have my passport renewed. Just need to go to the kiosk machine, the officer will help you out. Submit a photocopy of your IC and a passport-size photo and pay a hundred ringgit.


After an hour, you can collect your passport already!!

  • No more Q
  • No more waiting for your number to be called

Excellent service!


Well done Immigration Office Subang Branch!!

Unforgetable Family Dinner at Kunang-Kunang Restaurant

Assalamualaikum,


My family and I had an enjoyable dinner at Kunang2 on last Saturday nite. All family members present except for Nadia and Fahmi who were busy preparing for the 'menyambut menantu' ceremony that is going to be held on the next day. Naqi and Rafahiah had already flew to Bandung to continue their study.


It was our first ever dinner-get-together at Kunang2. It is located at the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road (MRR) 2, just before the exit to Karak Highway. The food is excellent, the environment is clean, there is a band playing every Saturday nite, and the food price is, I would say, acceptable. Luckily we managed to reserve an air-conditioned room for our dinner. 


Okay now, head count!!!

Mom and Dad
My family: 2 adults, 3 kids
Na's family: 2 adults, 3 kids
Iju's family: 2 adults, 3 kids
Ida's family: 2 adults, 3 kids
Ajib's family: 2 adults, 2 kids
Najwa and Khairil
Adik

Okay: A total of 29 person, 15 adults and 14 kids....Havocs


The newly wed couple, Najwa and Khairil, who just had their 'menyambut menantu' ceremony that afternoon at Restoren Seri Malaysia, also came. I think, the most obvious reason why all of us very excited about the dinner was because the bill will be on dad. So all of us can order whatsoever we want that nite and eat till we drop! Yeayyy!!!



Newly wed couple...Khairil and Najwa

Iju melayang nafsu makan dengan sepuas hatinya...

Ajib dengan aksi muka yang puas melantak segala makanan yang ada...

Sayang nyer Faiz kat Iman...


10 chicken chops, 2 lamb chops, 1 chicken cordeau (betul ke eja ni?), 3 plates of chinese fried rice, 3 set of fried tauhu, 2 fried kuew teaw, chips, uncountable fresh oranges, raspberry juice, laici and milo ice...and many, many more....even Sumayyah had her own meal that nite....


When the bill came, my dad strach his head,


"Betul ke ni?"      *hahahaha*


"Takpe la Aboh...sekali sekala aje...bukan selalu pun kita eat-out macam ni"    *laugh* 


My beloved Mom and Dad...

It was a meaningful, wonderful and memorable nite. We had good laugh together, sharing stories, telling many jokes, discussing some business matters and a bit of politics too *hahaha*. We hope we can have this large scale eat-out again sometime...say, maybe in Kemaman during Raya time...



Thank you sooo much to Aboh and Ma! We love both of you soooo muchh!!!



Terima Kasih Daun Keladi,
Lain Kali Belanja la Lagi....
