.:From Borneo Island to Peninsular Malaysia:.

Nampaknya percutian kita masih belum berakhir. Kali ni balik KL. Wah seronoknya! Daddy nak gi tgk KL International Extreme Autoshow which was held at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil. Daddy mmg minat keter. Setakat minat tengok aje laa cuz kami tak mampu nak beli keter yang power. Mummy plak sebenarnya tak minat langsung extreme autoshow ni tapi sebab dapat ikut daddy balik KL, buat2 seronok aje laaa. Hehehe!

27 December 2008:
Our flight back to KL.

28 December 2008:
Mula2 kite gi Midvalley sebab Cik Bell and Cik Sue nak shopping. Kite takde shopping sebab kite dah shopping kat Kuching (sebab xtau pon daddy nak balik KL). Pas makan and shopping, kite gi Bukit Jalil. Xde ape mummy nak update coz not in my area of interest. Dah balik from autoshow, daddy decide plak nak balik KB. So kite amik flight kol 8.50pm.

.:Trip to Kuching:.

21 December 2008:

Jalan lagi. Bukan Farees yang excited nak gi jalan2 tapi mummy. Kantoi sebab mummy tersilap tgk itinerary. Mummy ingat flight ke Kuching kol 6.50pm, padahal 7.50pm. Nampak sangatla tak sabar nak gi Kuching kan? Hehehe! Maklumla, ni first time gi Kuching. Mula2 daddy ckp nak bawak mummy n Farees gi Kuching, punyerlaa seronok. Dah otw gi airport, daddy check itinerary dia. Punyela dia gelak sebab punyela awal kami turun dari rumah. So kami lepak kat town Bintulu jap, pastu mkn satay kat Tanjung Batu dgn exec kilang daddy kije :) First time Farees naik flight tak tdo. Tapi elok je pilot announce nak mendarat, Farees pon tdo. Ni haa gambar dia...

Cane pilot-in-training boleh tdo nih?

Sampai je airport Kuching dah kol 9pm, kami terus amik teksi ke Holiday Inn Hotel. Penat jugakla cuz dah malam, dgn Farees lagi nak kene angkut. Mula2 kami ingat nak keluar cari makan sambil menghirup udara malam kat Kuching tapi memandangkan hujan agak lebat dan agak tak sesuai utk Farees, kami in-room dining jek. Tu pon makan nasi lemak ngan nasi goreng. Farees pulak, tdo kepenatan macam dia yang bawak kapal terbang. Hehehe!

22 December 2008:
Hari ni daddy ade appointment kol 8.45am. Pagi2 lagi daddy dah keluar. Mummy dan Farees masih lagi menidurkan diri masing2. Ingatkan daddy balik lambat, so kite ber2 tido sepuas2nya. Tapi kol 11am daddy dah balik hotel dan kite ber2 pon terpinga2 sbb nape daddy balik awal sgt? Daddy suruh bangun siap2, kite nak kuar plak. Oklah, mummy siap2kan Farees dulu, pastu mummy plak siap2 (macam biasalah). Dah siap2 nak keluar, hujan laa plak. Daddy sambil nak tunggu hujan reda, dia tdo. Farees pon sambung tdo gak. Tapi memandangkan mummy dan daddy belum breakfast dan kami mengalami sindrom kelaparan yg tidak terkawal, mummy turun gi beli KFC kononnya utk alas perut je la. Pas makan, kami ber3 sambung tdo lagik. Dlm kol 5pm, hujan dah reda dan kami pon siap2 nak keluar jalan2. Kami jalan2 menyusuri sungai Sarawak ni pastu singgah jap kat Parkson Grand sebelah Crowne Plaza. Farees tdo, kami terpaksa balik hotel. Tapi sampai je hotel Farees bgn balik. Pas tgk Buletin Utama, kita keluar jalan2 lagi, masuk Sarawak Plaza singgah Watson utk beli Lactacyd utk muka Farees yang merah2 dan payung, pastu masuk Tun Jugah Mall nak cari baju utk mummy tapi xde yang berkenan, then dinner kat Taman Kereta. Best gak mkn bermacam2 jenis seafood. Mummy makan tak hingat OK...

Jalan2 sepanjang Kuching Waterfront

Dinner kat Taman Kereta

23 December 2008:
Shopping day. Ni hari paling best kat Kuching sebab daddy bawak kite gi shopping kat The Spring Mall, the biggest shopping mall in Kuching and even in East Malaysia. It is really beyond my expectations and I loved to be here after 3 months away from KL. Hehehe! Sangat seronok. Plan asal nak shopping utk mummy je, tapi mummy mmg takleh tgkla baju baby, mesti nak beli gak utk Farees. End up, Farees dapat jugak 4 helai baju dan 6 pasang socks. Mummy beli 5 helai baju, 2 helai baju utk baby kawan daddy, dan 1 helai baju utk adam (ntah bile nak balik KL nak bagi adam). Tgh seronok mummy shopping, Farees nangis2 plak ngantuk. Spoil mood mummy jek. Otw balik ke hotel Farees tdo dan sampai je hotel terus tanak tdo. Dalam kol 6pm, kite kuar dinner kat Taman Kereta lagi tapi kedai lain pulak. Bestnya sbb kami order udang galah, ketam, sotong, kerang rebus ngan sayur campur. Pas dinner, kita singgah pulak kat 7eleven nak beli diapers utk Farees tapi xde, so terpaksa gak masuk kat Giant. Pastu pusing2 lagi kat Crowne Plaza. Hari ni sangatlaaa seronok :)

Balik hotel terus tak ngantuk

Pas dinner dah tak ngantuk...

24 December 2008:
Hari untuk pulang ke Bintulu. Tak bestnya nak kene masuk estet lagi. Huhuhu! Next trip, daddy? Hehehe...

.:From Bintulu To Brunei and Miri:.

19 December 2008:

Hari ni bermula lah trip percutian kita menjelajahi Pulau Borneo. Daddy start cuti from 19dec-24dec. Sepatutnya 18dec tapi xdpt approval pulak. Pasal trip to Brunei, xde yang menarik utk diupdate. Mula2 kite gi Brunei 19dec, singgah isi minyak kat Miri dulu. Awal2 pagi lagi mummy bangun siap2kan barang kita. Dalam kol 10am kite bertolak dari Derawan, sampai Brunei dlm kol 12noon. Mula2 masuk Brunei macam excited gak tapi sebenarnya sangatla boring. Kita masuk je Brunei, gi lunch kat Excapade Sushi. Best gak makan sushi kat sini, then pusing2 pusat bandar Brunei dan gi The Mall Brunei. Mummy nak cari Mothercare tapi xjumpa, tapi mummy jumpa Patchi, sangatla seronok dah lama tak makan choc tu kan. Huhu! Plan asal nak bermalam kat sana sebab esok paginya nak gi Jerujong Park tapi sumer org macam takde mood dan kami decide nak balik Bintulu malam tu jugak. So around 9pm kami dah sampai Miri. Memandangkan keadaan driver yang totally exhausted dan sleepy dan sewaktu dengannya, kami pon bermalam kat Parkcity Hotel, Miri. Mummy ingat nak singgah rumah kawan mummy tgk baby dia yg agaknya baru 2minggu tapi agaknya dah lewat malam. Daddy cakap next time kita dtg Miri lagi, boleh laaa jumpa kawan mummy dan baby dia tu. Kat Brunei, takde gambar menarik pon...

Farees macam biasa, tdo je sepanjang perjalanan

Lunch kat Excapade Sushi, Farees nak golek2 plak!

First time makan sushi, not bad lah.. Hehe!

20 December 2008:
Kami berada di Miri. Semalam sampai Miri dalam kol 9pm, terus check in kat Park City Hotel dan mandikan Farees dan siap2 utk keluar cari makan. Penat giler tapi terpaksa gak keluar utk cari makan. Kami makan nasi lemak kat Rasa Segar, tu pon dah kol 12 tgh malam. Farees pon terpaksa kami angkut sama. Hehehe! Mummy and daddy mkn nasi lemak, dia wat muka ngantuk. Dlm kete tdo, tapi inilah rupanya dah sampai hotel. Hari ni pas checkout kita gi Bintang Plaza, makan McD jek then mummy beli magazine Pa&Ma... Hehehe! Pastu kita terus balik Derawan, kene recharge energy utk ke Kuching plak petang esok. Yeeehhhaaaa!!!

Ntah mana hilangnya rase mengantuk tgh2 malam ni..

p/s: we'll be going to Kuching from 21dec-24dec 2008 :)

.:Calming His Crying:.

Baby grows with different attitudes almost everyday. So that I have to try different methods everytime and everyday to calm his crying. Farees often cries since he fell down from the bed last 2 days. I have made him feel scared and unsecure to be put on the bed, alone. Eventough I was not even a meter from the bed, he keeps on crying everytime he's on bed. Did he feel unsecure with the bed? I'm so sorry for that. Fuhh! I have to get him sleeps before I can put him on bed. But when he wakes up, he cries so bad and loud with tears wetting his face. And also with his pity face. Hehehe!

I have to swaddle him securely in a blanket so that he won't flail but sometimes he struggle very hard to get himself free. I can accept that but please stop yelling! Things I did to calm his crying is letting him with him thumb sucking. He will stop crying, rather than offering the nipple when he was at the top of crying. If it doesn't work, I will try with infant carrier which can also be infant swings. He feels comfortable in it and very easily to fall asleep. When shushing sounds doesn't work, I sing few nursery rhymes. The most he likes is 'Twinkle twinkle little tr'. Sometimes he loves nursery rhymes, but sometimes he cries more louder when I start singing. Hahaha. Regardless my not-so-sweet-voice, he doesnt want to listen to the nursery rhymes pon. Put him up is another thing to do to stop him crying but it requires a lot of my energy to hold him up. Penatlah! eventhough he laughs happily afterthen. What else to do? Mummies know better. But a little note maybe can helps...

.:Daddy Masak Lobster:.

Taraaaaa... We have a very special main course for our dinner, specially cooked by our not-so-experienced chef. It's so special not becoz of the lobster but it was importantly special becoz it was cook by daddy a.k.a chef bidang terjun. Bukan senang daddy nak masak tau! Few reasons for I did not cook (hahaha, alasan jek!):

1. I don't know what to do with the lobster. I've cooked few lobsters before, but they weren't this big. I can easily (at least easier) to 'operate' inner part of the lobsters.
2. I've hurt my finger when I cook smaller lobster yesterday. Semalam dah masak tapi tak sedap kot, sbb tu la daddy nak masak sendiri.
3. It's bigger. Yes, I guess the biggest I ever ate!
4. We don't have big enough pan.
5. I wonder what I should do; fry? boil?
6. That was good chance to have daddy's at our kitchen (hahaha!)

Jom kite tgk ape daddy buat dgn lobster tu...

First, daddy kene 'operate' lobster ni..

Lobster sedang dimasak dgn resipi cili kering daddy..

Dah siap pon. Jomlah kita makan! Farees tgk je tau!

p/s: Resipi lobster masak cili kering daddy ni boleh didapati kat thekitchenaffairs yer! Hehehe!

.:Blog Update with Farees Jatuh Katil:.

It was almost 2weeks since my last blog published. Xde mood nak online. Summore, no emails received from my group mail. Mebi sumer org busy year end ni. Me and farees, just keep ourselves busy with sleeping and singing and dancing and playing his toys. His toys, not my toys. Let me update this blog with farees jatuh katil. Kesian anak mummy, it is totally my fault cuz I let him play by himself on the king-sized bed which I thought provide enough space for him to roll-over. Roll-over! Roll-over! Then jatuh! Huhuhu... Time tu laa mummy baru sibuk2 nak bangun kan? What a *U*K mother I am? Huhuhu... Hari ni ade mood sket nak online, emails pon banyak to read. Have to update few back-dated blog lah; Aidiladha kat Derawan, Jalan2 to Miri, Got new oven from daddy, My first home made cookies and choc cake and many more... Hehehe! Hopefully I can update the TAGs from my friends... Sorry guys, me olso busy with this getting bigger baby! Hehehe...

.:His First Aidiladha and Miri Trip:.

I felt guilty for Farees for making his first Aidiladha meaningless. We supposed to give him a beautiful Aidiladha to remember for the rest of his growing life. We should make his FIRST of the FIRST TIME to be remembered, not just laying on the bed until noon, missing our beakfast meal (at least) and etc. Daddy; wakes up early in the morning, get proper dressed with Baju Melayu and go to mosque with other executives before continue sleeping with us after the prayer. Hehehe! We woke up just before noon, get bathed, prepared for the lunch and headed to Miri for 'makan angin and shopping'... Again on hari raya but this is the very first time for Farees. We arrived at Miri at 4pm, have some window shopping at Plaza Bintang. Jalan and jalan without stroller so daddy kene dukunglah Farees. Then drop by at McD to have fries shake. But we can't end up our window shopping without purchasing anything, at least something for our dear Farees. Hehehe. I bought new bathtub for Farees, exactly like I left in KL. I'm so happy for this. And we have safety fan battery-operated for his stroller and playgym. Daddy; feels happy with his new Levi's t-shirt. Me; I don't find anything nice for my eyes, summore daddy said we'll back to KL. I'll wait for the time to have my shopping paradise...

• Our 2 hours journey to Miri. Farees macam biasalah, tdo sepanjang jalan...

Ehh, gambar ni tak tdo pon mummy!

• Jalan2 kat Bintang Plaza, Miri luper plak nak amik gambar.
• Dinner kat seafood restaurant kat Ulu Mulu, if I'm not mistaken :)..Ni beberapa gambar yang sempat diambil..

Jom pilih nak mkn ape.. Farees tgk 'mantis shrimps' sambil hisap jari..

Farees ngan daddy kat kolam lobster..

Ni ikan 'budusss' yang kene booking dulu..

Time ni dah ngantuk, tapi makanan belum sampai lagik.

Sekianlah cerita dan pengalaman hidup kami yang merantau di negeri orang. Dunia ni besar dan luas, seronok gak cari pengalaman baru especially pengalaman tak balik raya yang takkan dilupakan. Hehehe!

.:Mosquitoes and Reason To Shop (Again?):.

Kalau bab nak spend off the money, ade2 jek alasan. Kalau bab nak savings, mmg susah nak mendisiplinkan diri. Kali ni nak salahkan nyamuk plak. Logik kaaa??? Hahaha. Sekarang ni musim hujan kat Bintulu, so byklaaa nyamuk2 yang semakin mengganas menggigit dan menghisap darah Farees. Dgn keadaan fizikal Farees yang berkulit cerah, memanglaa menyakitkan hati mummy bila tgk gigitan nyamuk kat badan Farees tu. Dgn serta-merta mummy terpaksa banned kan romper, pyjamas yang berlengan pendek dan berkaki pendek. Pakaian paling sesuai utk dipakai di estet adalah SLEEPSUITS or also known as baju angkasa lepas oleh adam.

Kebetulan (asyik kebetulan jek), PIL mummy tNi nak gi London, so mummy pon menyibukkan diri mengirim sleepsuits kat Mothercare UK. Puas hati mummy kirim 4set sleepsuits = 12 pieces dan 2 pieces yang all-in-one set. Yang paling bestnya sbb currency pound skrg ni 5.60 (mase mummy tukar duit) tapi skrg ni 5.37. Uwarrgghhh, rugi jek! But still agak murah berbanding yang dijual di Mothercare Malaysia. Mummy dah suruh mummy tNi cari kat KL tapi stock ni tak masuk market Mesia. Mummy ade gak cari sleepsuits kat Bintulu ni tapi xde gak. So, TERPAKSA laaa jugak shopping lagi utk Farees. Oklah, kali ni mmg last mummy nak shopping utk Farees. Comel tak???
