Bye Bye & Welcome

 We finally sold off our reliable & trusted Nissan x-trail. Sayang kereta tu..Tak buat perangai & banyak berjasa. Tapi since family members dah bertambah, we have to find something bigger to accomodate all of us.

 When we bought the car, we were looking for something reliable. Previously we had a bad experience with our Perdana V6. Siap kena tow lagi kat highway masa balik Johor. Balik je ke Penang terus survey kereta baru. We had a few friends yang guna x-trail at that time. They didn't have a problem with it. So, that was the reason we chose it besides the good reviews from auto shows.

This photo attracted the current owner to buy it...:-)
 

 Masa nak serah kereta ni kat owner baru, macam sedih lak I. Tp tak de le sampai nangis..:-). But ada le cakap dgn keta ni..:D Macam tak betul je.
 During the process of selling the x-trail, we surveyed a few 7-seater SUVs & MPVs. Tp dah terbiasa bawak SUV, we finalised on buying an SUV.  Ada le test drive a few cars. Again, we decided on the current car based on its good reviews, specs and extended warranty offered. It took over a month to get the car coz hubby wanted PKJ XXXX to acompany hubby's car with JKP XXXX registration no. Masa booking tu baru PKG. So, lama le kena tunggu. But it was worth it.
 This time we chose white. The princesses & I wanted white while hubby wanted black. So, kalah le dia..:-) Girls power! Masa test drive keta ni I dah mmg jatuh suka. Tp hubby nak gak p test drive keta lain. Finally. we all pilih gak keta ni. Dah le dapat a good deal at this branch lepas nego dgn manager dia..:-) ( We went to 3 branches of this brand until I call the manager at this particular place. He met my requests, so we bought here..)

Our new car

Pssst, I dah test physical strength kereta ni. Td I terlanggar our gate. Keta ok. Tp gate yg senget..huwaa.. My neighbour heard a loud bang! Another neighbour tegur what happened to our gate! Keta ni ada calar sikit je kat bumper depan which was almost invisible. Badi kereta baru kut. I never crashed on my gate before. But then again, masa I baru beli my first car which was also white, I crashed on a wall at a shopping complex. Kemek giler. Melayang RM. Dah le tgh kumpul duit nak kawin masa tu..:-( Hmmm..Me & WHITE cars..

Adik's 5th Birthday

Hujung tahun ni berderet lak our birthdays. This month we celebrated Adik's birthday. The day before she turned 5, she had high fever. She was shivering & had to be given medications every 4-6 hours. We promised her, if she got better on her birthday, we would take her out for lunch.

Adik is 5 years old

 Alhamdulillah, She was better on her birthday. But, still lacking in appetite & energy. Her eyes looked sunken. Tapi...masih ada energy nak bersolek before keluar..;-). We took them out to Jusco. We let her choose where she wanted to have her lunch. Kalau Alysa & Baby, confirm pilih McD. Tp, Adik ni kan tak makan anything related with roti, so, she had few choices. Finally, she picked The Chicken Rice Shop..:-). Sempoi betul! But, Hubby bought something from KFC for Baby. Lepas lunch, we bought a birthday gift for her.

Having fun with her sisters


   Adik was lucky this year. She got to celebrate her 5th birthday a few times. First kat kampung together with Baby & Afif. Then on 13th nov which was her birthday. Tapi tak de cake that day coz mama was not in a cooking mode. 3 days of hearing her request of a birthday cake, I made her 'American Choc Cake' as requested. Then today, on her final day before school holidays, they had a birthday party at her kindy. I made her another choc cake. She said there were 5 cakes today for all the birthday girls & boys.

Baby , Adik & Afif's birthday celebration with their cousins. Baby requested Oreo Cheesecake. Kat luar ada BBQ tu..:-)


Yeay! Dapat gak bday cake sendiri..


Choc Cake utk bawa ke kindy. Still motif princess as requested.


My dearest Adik, Happy 5th Birthday sweetheart. Semoga menjadi anak solehah & bahagia dunia & akhirat. We will always be there for you to watch you achieve what your heart desires. We love you forever.

Kambing

 Haha.. nak sangat tajuk pendek... Tapi tempat yang kitaorang pegi last saturday memang famous dengan kambing pun. Diaorang ternak kambing & ada cafe yang served mainly kambing dishes.

Yup, as most penangites would know this place, Hubby & I went to Puncak Mutiara Cafe kat Kg Pelet tu. Tempat ni dah jadi macam eco tourism dah. Ada homestay tak jauh dari situ. Lepas makan boleh bawak anak2 melawat ladang kambing, tengok ostrich & bagi makan ikan. I like the ambience. Tp foodwise ok la for my taste. Hubby had nasi beriyani paha kambing & I had sup kambing & roti benggali. For me, nasi beriyani dia mmg tak leh lawan Beriyani Gam Batu Pahat. Tapi, cendawan goreng dia sedap.

Actually, dah lama nak try tempat ni tp tak berkesempatan. This time pegi mkn dgn Buyung & family for late lunch. Kitaorang tak bwk pn the princesses. May be nx time blh bawak diorang tgk ostrich..:-). Cafe ni beroperasi from 10am to 2 am. Ada surau yang besar. Tempat makan yang ada privacy coz ada individual gazebo. Ada juga tempat makan ' kayangan' kat atas bukit yang boleh nampak semua gazebo tu..

Potong

 Last week was minggu potong for Alysa & Ayra..:-). When we got back from HCM, we were surprised with their hair. Tok dah potong rambut diaorang... Hubby was speechless. Yelah, bila I trim rambut diorang pun dia tak suka, inikan pulak kena potong pendek.

 Alysa terus lost her curls. Pegi kindy pun pakai tudung sampai balik rumah pun tak bukak2 tudung tu ( According tu K.Jun la ). When I got back, the first thing in my list was to buy them hair accessories. Nak beli cekak yang ada rambut tu, hubby kata nanti tok dia tengok sedih lak. So, beli je la cekak yang ada ribbons. Baru le nampak girlish sikit diaorang. Kalau tak, dah macam tomboy.

Then, on tuesday 25th Oct, kitaorang bawak Alysa & Ayra jumpa Dr Barizah utk berkhitan. Actually, dulu bukan tak nak sunat. Tp we got different views.. ada yang cakap wajib & ada yang cakap sunat. We were also looking for hadis sahih tapi tak jumpa. Recently, after bertanya a  few ustaz & hubby search & jumpa fatwa kebangsaan pun kata wajib berkhitan bagi kanak2 perempuan, dia dah tak senang duduk. So, Alhamdulillah dah selamat 2 orang. Another 2 to go..:-)

Masa berkhitan tu, Alysa melalak samapai keluar. But, Adik cool je. Berkerut sikit je muka. Siap boasted lg lepas tu kata dia tak gheyiau pun.. I tak inform pun diorang before berkhitan tu. Masa bawak masuk Alysa ke tx room, Hubby bawak Adik minum2 kat restoran sebelah. Masa dah jumpa Dr baru bgtau, Dr nak check sebab nak masuk sekolah. So, kena cucuk sikit.  Adik pulak I bagitau nak tindik sekali ( since dia beriya2 nak bertindik since dulu). Tp unfortunately, Dr Barizah tak wat bertindik. But, she was ok & cooperative during the procedures.

Alysa & Ayra - still boleh tersenyum before ke klinik
