Digiscrap~thorn among the roses

These kids are great and growing up so fast too. Can't thank them enough for the job well done at their aunt's wedding reception recently. Dd punyelaa bersiap tapie at the reception he was not feeling well siap muntah lagie sebab pening ramai orang. So he stayed home with Tokwan & Baby Ideen hehehe.

A glimpse of Penang -Pearl of the Orient

Yeayy! We are going to Penang this weekend!

It's been ten years we did not see the amazing stilted kampong houses, coconut palms and the leisurely pace of kampong life and the kampong houses no longer look likes the old times when we once experienced as a child. Ohh! how I missed those times eventhough I can remember how I hated the sounds of cengkerik and the sight of kumbang pokok kelapa it is soo damn huge hehehe and I can still remember how my cousins love to tease me with the belalang and other crawlies insects and I can still remember that crazy flock of geese that always hang out near Tok's house. One grey goose gave me a chase once I went for 'mandi' at a neighbour's house and make me left trails of clothes, toothbrush, soap and undies along the way. I remembered the time when I played masak-masak with my cousins and started to boil some kind of leaves and the some kind of 'tea' smells suddenly attracted some 'kambings' all my cousins lari selamatkan diri and left me all alone encircled by all the goats Tok's house was an old attap house in Kg Seronok Penang. Back in those days it did not have a proper bathroom nor toilet so..I had a few of uncomfortable memories evertime wanting to go to the loo and my encountered with a big brown eyes. It was the goat again!! Peeping through the hole of a makeshift toilet. But my most fond memories was waking up in the morning, dengar bunyi kokokan ayam and start tolong bukak tingkap2 kayu yang banyak and oh! the smells of Kopi Hang Tuah, Biskut Kering and Roti Bakar and then every lunch the smell of delicious curry, ikan kering and sambal belacan were just so... heavenly!

Yg most proud moments biler balik jeeh arwah Tok would point to a big mango tree next to the old house. Usia pokok mangga tu sama usia dengan umuq cheq and Tok had planted it when I was born. Now Tok's House cuma ada dlm lipatan kenangan. How I wished I could go back there and tell my children how fun and how lovable Tok was with all her grandchildrens. It is so nostalgic. Well..I missed my arwah Tok, arwah Tokwan Darus and arwah Pakngah Lan. Well anyway it is nice to be able to see all the not so young cousins again at the wedding and I am sure that they are putting up some tents for the wedding at Tok's old house where it were once stood. This time around boleh laa show around eksyen sikit to my kiddos showing off pokok-pokok besak yg Tok tanam, some plants and some four legged animal live tapie jarak jauh laa kang kena kejar tak pasal-pasal. I wish I had the old scooter 'pasola' best giler bawak keliling kampung or Tok Wan's Darus old antics bike kaler black. Pedal punyerlaa keras nak kayuh lol.

Our Achu's wedding reception's was in gold theme so the cookies should be in gold too *the design and colour combo all determined by Azrinaz. A perfect gift to end the sweet day! link to*razzledazzle*

Hop Off from the Wedding Merry-Go-Round!

I miss my long abandoned blog and the reason I was on a blog hiatus...well.. I am all drained having nights after nights devising plan B, C and D for my one and only sister's wedding for the past six months till her big day. Eat, Drink, Sleep everything center on the wedding things and it was amazing too to see how much energy had sucked out of you in the run-up process to throw a wedding. Even the little one has learned the magical password "ohh! Lily cannot touch this yeaa Mama..It is for Achu's Tawen (kawen? yeah?)" hahaha.We are so happy, feel so blessed and grateful that most of our relatives, friends and families came to the wedding and not forgetting our late parents good friends (kak Long, Kak Liza, Uncle Brahim-of Utusan and others) I just cannot thank them enough for their thoughtfulness and efforts to attend. I was overwhelmed with sad and happy feelings during the wedding and tears on my cheek whenever the relatives mentioned about our parents. I never knew that I would cried at my sister's wedding.I never felt so much relief now! The urge to buy and borrow bridal magazines, surfing online for wedding tips, reading the do's & dont's, where to get favors, cakes, flowers and stuff, or even read someone else's wedding was no longer there. Terasa legaa..Whew! I am so glad its over and now it is the time to concentrate and assist the kiddos and their schoolwork yg dah lama neglect. H.A.P.P.Y but at the same time missing my younger sister's face yg sometimes kena babbled, kena marah and here I was hoarding at her computer hehe what a bliss!

Happy!

Au Revoir Sam Yee..

Our Aunt Christina fondly known as Sam Yee Poh/ Tok no.3 (3rd aunt) from Mak Tok's side passed away from a courageous battle with cancer. She passed in her sleep on Sunday 12th December 2008 at Selayang's Hospital. We did not get the chance to say good-bye. She will be missed by all the family members. We paid the last respect to her at her home in Sg Buluh because she was not a muslim. We have great memories together and she shall be missed so deeply.

I am a miloo boy!

A while ago, Uncle Jeeb or Bem39 has passed along Kreativ Blogger award to Darling candy. We are so thrilled to receive it and we are sorry that it has taken us a while to acknowledge it and pass it on.

first & proper haircut...

An evening at Aunt Amy's Place!

blog notes for my son!

Today's entry is dedicated to Abang Adly! Pls forgive Mama ok! Maybe we can share a laugh when we re-read this post again...I just wanted you to know that...I love all of you with all my heart eventhough sometimes I talked err..screamed a bit because sometimes anak-anakku memang tak dengar for example like today Mama was calling out loud for HELP! TOLONG! ALAMAKK! ADUH!! ...MAMA tergolek almost ditimpa besi pakaian. Masa tarik besi yang penuh dengan baju2 kat luar tuu..it started to rain and lantai depan rumah kitakan licin and then mama pulak main pakai jee selipar besar papa.
What makes mama so angry kat Abang Adly ialah sebab Abang you did not come to rescue mama apatah lagi lari keluar tengok what's going on. Even though mama already screamed on top of my lungs after my sandals went flying, two feet went up and I fell flat on my back thank god mama belum kena 'osteoporosis' lagie (look up this word in dictionary)! *iskkk*malu...mama wonder ade ke jiran kita yg ternampak masa mama jatuh*Adly tu bukan apa sebab Adly dok tengok TV cartoon network and I am so angry sebab you were giggling all the way nengok cartoon padahal I am pretty sure you could see me right thru our sliding glass door sebab curtain dah diikat. Budak yang datang rescued Mama was Lily. Boleh ke budak pelat umur 2 tahun datang lari tengok Mama ngan her cute accents " mama atuh ke? atuh ye? ...abang mama atuh..akit? akit? mama atuh? and from her face I can see that she was soo sorry for me and quickly helped me to get up. Itupun Lily dok panggil Adly suruh keluar. Mama apologized to Adly and Didi..if I raised my voice today..I hope you can be more responsible next time and alert sikit. Papa cakap boys at this age memang ada kurang alert sikit. I noticed that you only alert when papa honked the car and it was time to unload groceries only atau biler motor ice-cream lalu! Other than that..tak sure. Didi pun sama..Mama marah jugak hari ini boleh terconfused pulak...you just stood there holding your crayons sikit pun tak bergerak dok tercatuk depan sliding door ingat ni main polis sentri ke? When mama called out boleh ke Dd responded "Ooohh! Didi ingat Lily kasi jatuh baju2 Mama!"
Aiyooh? Pls don't bring back the tarzan woman in Mama okay?! Today...I forgave you sebab terjerit and then both of you pun dah teary eyes and mula nangis kang neighbour ingat korang kena seksa pulak. Haihhh...what a day! Sabor ajelah!
