School Session 2016 Wrapped Up

Credit

Yeah cuti sekolah dah mula! Hahaha bukan anak je yang suka, maknya bertambahlah lagi :p dapat cuti jadi driver je. Hat lain tu macam biasa, lagi bertambah adalah. Huhu...

Jumaat last day sekolah hari tu kelas Abang buat jamuan. Kita goreng nugget je sbb cikgu dah pesan jangan masak banyak2, heavy2 sbb depa nak beli KFC. Duit gotong royong hari tu ada lagi so cikgu nak habiskan. 

One of his classmates ni nak pindah sekolah...
All the best ye Alya!

Suka gambar ni... Nampak retro :)

A day before was hari anugerah. Alhamdulillah dapat tengok Abang naik pentas tahun ni, utk subjek terbaik. Ikutkan ada 2 paper lagi Abang dapat 100% tapi nama dia tercicir kot. Tahun lepas langsung tak dapat even ada 2-3 subjects dapat 100%. Bukan rezeki Abang lah tu. 

Wafi... Best friend Abang

Nak jugak...
posing bawah stage pun jadilah :p

Untuk final exam ni Abang berjaya mengekalkan kedudukan 10 terbaik dlm darjah, alhamdulillah. Dapat no 8 dlm kelas dan no 9 dlm darjah. Fight betul kelas Abang. Beza markah antara satu sama lain tu sikit je. Abang teruk subjek English to the extent that I need to revamp his study method. 

On the other hand, Angah pun banyak peningkatan. First exam dulu dapat no 19! Nak pitam Umi hahaha... But in the final he managed to get no 10, with a lot of improvement. Alhamdulillah. 

Untuk jamuan akhir tahun dia saya buat dadih je. Clashed dgn hari anugerah Abang so tak sempat nak masak pagi tu. Itupun dia asyik komplen nape Umi tak pegi jamuan sekolah dia. Umi pegi sekolah Abang je katanya. Alahai sayang...

Last but not least;

Jom bawak anak2 shopping buku! 

Buah tangan dari kampung...

Adik ipar & keluarga datang bermalam di rumah kita. Start je cuti sekolah jumaat tu terus depa mai. Jalan2 pusing kl. 

Dah jauh datang dari Kedah nun adalah buah tangan utk kami. Mak mentua kirim rebung, ulam pegaga, buah-buahan & sambal jawa. Mak Kodiang pulak kirim kek pisang (homemade tau), ketupat palas, kuih bakar & buah terung. Begitulah orang tuakan, hati depa sentiasa ingat kat anak2. Benda biasa2 je tapi ingatan tu yang menyentuh hatikan...

Rebung tu kita masak kari dengan ayam. Makan dengan nasi panas dan sambal belacan dgn ulam. Sedapnya. 

Terung color2 kiriman Mak.

Pegaga tu buat kerabu semalam. 

Meletops!

Hari ni masak lemak bawal putih dgn terung. Walah!

Pastu baki tu kita rebus cicah dengan ayaq kerabu. Memang bertambah-tambah kakjah makan hari ni :)

Sambil shopping kat IKEA tu, sempat jugaklah depa bertandang ke rumah paktam. Jagung ni kiriman dari maktamlah. Jagung Cameron katanya. Dah selamat jadi bubur pun petang tadi. Biasalah bila cuti sekolah food kena sentiasa ada. Kang berkicau pulak anak2 burung kat rumah ni :)

Restoran Wadi Hadramawt

We stepped into this restaurant for our anniversary celebration. Hubby played the host so I let him chose the menu. We have been together as husband and wife for more than a decade. We have a blissful and happy marriage alhamdulillah. We are blessed with four beautiful, smart and healthy children. Of course we do have a fair share of ups and downs but we managed to overcome the situations. Alhamdulillah. 

Our best moment as husband and wife comes when we became a parent for the first time eight years ago. Abang arrived 18 days shy away from our 5th anniversary. I still remember both of us were crying while we hugged each other when I am tested positive for pregnancy. His arrival changed everything in our life. Earlier years was a very tough and difficult for us indeed. 

Another milestone for us is being able to perform hajj together. We aimed to perform the hajj before 40 and alhamdulillah the plan worked for us. We registered ourselves for hajj few months after we got married and made monthly saving for that purpose. It was a dream come true for us.

Back to the restaurant, our menu for that day were chicken khabsa, chicken mandy, half roasted chicken and arayes. I thought we ordered lamb khabsa but they served chicken instead. We were so hungry to complain so just go ahead with the food :p

I like the ambiance there but were quite distracted because Angah was having a bad day. He was crying while eating. Grrr.... The service and staff are above average. The food also tasty. Maybe we should pay another visit.

Thank you very much B. Not only for the treat but for all the years spent together.

ZEVE Shoes

My husband has a special interest in shoes. In fact he has more shoes than mine. Selipar aja dah 2-3 pasang; kat ofis satu, kat rumah satu, yang beli tak pakai pun ada :)

Satu hari tu kita terbaca satu artikel dalam harian metro (e-paper) kalau tak silap, tentang seorang usahawan bumiputera yang menghasilkan dan menjual kasut. Ada kilang di Gombak. Terus kita sent the link to hubby. 

Guess what? Terus dia google address & terjah website Zeve ni. And lady luck was at his side too. The company was having their 1st anniversary sale at that time (last October). Lompat bintang le bang-aji :p

He contacted the owner and made a visit to their shop at the Etiqa Twin Tower. How strategic the location is; at the prime area. We are impressed with the owner's business strategy. And proud too! 

He has a product and he knows how to market the product well and make it an impressive and exclusive product. Actually hubby pernah beli this kind of handmade shoes but it was an ordinary one though the price is almost the same with Zeve's discounted price. The shoes are in good quality but packaging wise it is not. Dapat kasut je, kotak pun tarak :p maybe that pakcik didn't know how to add value to his products and make it more marketable.

On the other hand, Zeve Handmade Shoes come with a very exclusive packaging which definitely raise the standard of the products and look more appealing to the customers. 

Kagum betul kakjah dengan tapak kayu tu.
Menarik & unique kan...

See? Nadeen pun excited dengan kasut ni :)

Cek dapat beg ja...hahaha

Tapi takpa, Bang-aji promised to buy me a pair of Clark's since Zeve does not sell ladies shoes. Turn kita la lompat bintang pulak! 

Abang 8th Birthday

This year we celebrated abang's birthday at Taman Layang2. Piknik bawah pokok lagi :) suka betul kanak2 riang bertiga tu dapat main kat playground, berlari sana sini... 

As usual, KFC must be on the menu. B redeemed his M2U points so dapatlah voucher KFC worth RM50. And then we also have bday cake and nasi goreng ikan bilis. Hat ni kakjah masak. 

Time Abang nak cut the cake baru perasan
kek tu ala2 girly sikit. Takpelah
Abang, dah masuk perut orang bukan tau pun :p

Kakjah spent sebaik mungkin
short 3 kupang ja kot from total amount

Trolley bag orang bawak gi market, kakjah sumbat
segala benda dlm tu; food, air, pinggan sudu, bekal susu Kakak macam2 la... 

Lovely and breezy day. Alhamdulillah. 

Sayang Abang ketat2. DOA Umi moga Abang membesar dgn sihat, menjadi anak yg soleh, Abang yg bertanggungjawab serta penyayang dan sentiasa dlm lindungan & rahmat Allah. 

Abang's Sports Day 2016

Satu emas satu gangsa.
Tunggu jugak ni insentif dari abg KJ :p

Awal kakjah bangun pagi khamis tu. Pukul 5 pagi dah start goreng bihun. Abang ada hari sukan so kakjah pun ambiklah kesempatan buat kenduri sedekah bihun kat classmates Abang sempena his 8th birthday. 

Tak berapa menjadi airtangan kakjah pagi tu. Kelam kabut masak. Pastu silap bajet, ngam2 je dapat 34 pek.
Tak dapat nak bagi cikgu2. 

 .

That morning B tolong hantar Abang together with the food. Other kids and i  joined later. Angah pun taknak sekolah nak tengok abang sukan. Macamlah abang dia masuk olimpik:) Around 9 kot kami sampai sekolah Abang. Depa tengah assembly, ada senamrobik. Cute je depa menari. Cikgu2 menari lagi kiut :) 

Abang maintained rumah kuning. Before event tu ada gak kecoh2 sikit tukar rumah hijau. Kena beli baju baru but then tak jadi tukar. Parents bantah agaknya. Mujur Abang belum beli baju baru. 

Kakjah & co sempat tengok satu acara je yg Abang masuk. Adik dah start hokhek hokhek nak bf terus kakjah bawak balik. Angah & Kakak dapat aiskrim sorang satu baru nak diam. Gambar pun tak sempat nak ambik banyak2 sebab kiri kanan ada 'handbags'. Bang aji kita kerja hari tu.

Acara berakhir dgn kemenangan rumah biru sbg juara keseluruhan. Tunggu jugak kot2 cikgu nak bagi cuti jumaat tu tapi hampa. Sekolah macam biasa huhu. Last2 Abang cuti sendiri je, sakit perut malam tu kena ceri-beri :p

Aqiqah Mikael

Sabtu hari tu kami ada 3 jemputan kenduri; wedding di senawang, aqiqah & bday party anak member dan aqiqah mikael, cucu maktam. 

Asalnya nak ke rumah member tu dulu then lepas zohor baru ke rumah maktam. Tapi masing2 nak bermalasan di rumah pagi tu sbb penat malamnya sampai rumah pukul 1, teman Walid main futsal di sports planet subang. That morning kita free & easy day je. Pukul 12 baru pakat kalut mandi & bersiap. After zohor terus ke rumah maktam...lapaq!

This time depa buat makan2 kat tempat baru; kebun paktam. Khabarnya paktam bersihkan sendiri tempat tu, beli chainsaw bagai semata-mata nak kenduri utk cucu sulungnya. Pasang khemah semua so tak mengganggu jalan. Kami pun syok je lepak makan sampai kenyang. Hujan pulak tu memang layan habis. Lepas tu masuk ke rumah maktam pakat berguling, lepak tengok TV. Aircond pulak on...memang marvelous. 

Menu of the day; kambing golek, ayam masak merah, kuzi kambing, dalca, bubur kacang dan kuih muih. Dalam rumah pulak ada pelbagai pilihan desert; brownies, kek, coklat, baklava pun ada. 

Layan Didi & Friends

Seperti biasalah kalau ada makan2 session kat rumah maktam for sure dia akan tapau food sbg buah tangan. Bukan sikit2 tapi lebih dari cukup. Tqvm maktam. 

• Cukup untuk dinner and breakfast esok paginya :) 

Inilah mikael.

Ada iras Abang kecik2 dulu dan ada juga iras Nadeen. Bak kata Mak Eka, dah moyang depa sama, adalah iras tu :) 

Mikael versi girl :)
