Summer....

Dah masok summer dh skg...tp lom lg panas, 2-3 hari hujan & berangin aje ni.
Sblm raya haji mommy & family & kwn2 kt sini pi Catherine Bay Beach - pi picnic ramai2. Tp xder gambo pun amik sbb panas sgt2 masa tu kt beach. Mujur ada yg bwk khemah...mmm..bby khalish siap tetido pakai diaper aje - bdn melekit2, xleh pakai baju!

Raya korban baru2 ni meriah la gak. Semua berkumpul di rumah Sya di Courtney Clv, Wallsend. Cam biasa wat potluck. Special guests are Pegawai MSD, Dr.Nasir & family. Best la gak makan ramai2 smbt raya di perantauan ... Dr.Nasir balik awai tp kami dok lepak kt umah Sya smpai lewat ptg then pi umah Nor la plak. Ada sate, lemang perantau heheh & laksa...pe lagi..layannnnn...

Cerita-ceriti...

Ahad lepas, mommy pi round2 kt Broadmeadow, niat di hati nk carik stesyen ketapi tp lain lak yg jumpa...jeng3..Franklin's baru bukak kt ctu, ada lah aktiviti face painting, FREE so pe lagik, dak2 smua teringin lerrr.

Trisyia 1st yg conteng - bntk butterfly, amik gambo dgn pink lady

Si cik den ni nk doggy so ini ler ghupernyerrr...

Maysa minat kaler ijo, so dapek la butterfly ijo - pun nk amik gambo dgn pink lady

Alkisahnya...masa dh smpai umah tu, dh dkt2 nk asar...so paksa depa pi solat. Kelakor la plak sbb msg2 cam xmo cuci muker dek sbb sayangkn rupa "baru" msg2 le kononnye tp mmm..skalik mommy ckp nnt sok2 kene conteng muker kt neraka, kelam-kabut rebut2 masok bilik air ambil wuduk hik3...siap cuci muker dgn fair&lovely lagi :)

Face painting ni antara aktiviti2 biasa kt sini tp biasa2 pun kene caj, x tau lar brp...

Kenapa mommy nk carik stesyen ketapi tu..sbbnya selasanye tu, 2Dec08, mommy kene pi wollongong - 5jam pi, 5jam balik -- lebih kurang la kan. kene pesen paper, xmo stay overnight sbb nnt dak2 nk dok dgn sapa? tu yg balik hari jer.

• Kul 4:20am dh kuar umah, tido umh Nor le, pe lagik, dia lah kawan setia jaga anak2 mommy, nk catch train 4:46am. Ok ler, dpt catch - sbb dh kire2 dh, kalu naik train yg ni, smpt smpai ke wollongong dlm kul 10am.
• Tgk online pny jadual, train akn delay sbb trac work tp x sangkaaaa...delay sket pny lama! smpai ke sydney (central), spatutnya 7:22am tp 7:56am! Nak tuko train ke wollongong - jadual tulih kul 7:58am - mana sompek, tp try gak, kejor pny kejor mmmmmm...xsompek uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
• Tgk next train pny jadual, tulih 9:07am...memula xprasan sbb masa tu tgh semput2, siap duduk mkn bekal sandwich...pastu bru prasan, 9:07!!!!!!!! sydney-wollongong dlm 1 1/2jam, my turn tuk present 11:15am..uwaaaaaaaaaa...so, sejam lebih lepak kt stesen!
• Dipendekkan citer, smpai univ of wollongong lak, melilau2 carik building mckinnon, taxi anto smpai umah pak guard je td. tny student kt ctu le jwbnye, mujur jumpa.
• Masok je dlm building tu, semua tgh tea break, almost 11:15am - semput2 bgtau kt chairman tuk mommy pny session - let me take my deep breath first (maknenye swap turn, jd 2nd presenter) heheh, so dia ckp worait hik3..legaaaa den.
• Mmg "what a day!" sggh ari tuh...

Akhirnya, kul 3pm lebih mommy chow, sbb nk cpt smpi ke newcastle - x larat le pi matahari lom nmpk, balik matahari pun x nmpk -- as long as mommy dh jlnkn tggjwb mommy, ok la dakkk....Alhamdulillah kete park kt stesyen subuh2 buta td pun ok...

Tu ler antara criter-critinyer :)

Yummyyyyy....

Cam biasa..hobi anak2 Mommy pe lagi..makannnnnn laaaa... ni antara menu2 sempoi Mommy.

Mmm..donut ni Mommy dh almost nk mun... membuatnya tp depa gemor makan, layaannnn je ler. Ni ok sket, topping koko & pink icing --- ari tu topping icing kaler biru & hijo lg..aduuiiii cam2 naknya!
Yg ni prepare bwk gi skolah. Kt skolah lapor je mmnjang...3 kali break tuk makan (phew!). Tmbh lak skg ada kelas renang --- pas berendam mmmm....lagi lerrrr lapor.

Ni scones, pun favourite depa. ada yg nk inti choc+cream, ada yg nk inti cream aje, ada yg nk choc ajer...surprisingly, xder pon yg nk inti jem (resipi asai omputih kan letak inti jem+cream...)...mcm2 slera anak tekak!

Haaa yg ni mmg wajib wat kt sini - mahal woooiiii kt sini..skali-skala beli ok ler kan. Fav bdk2 cuma cheese naan aje esp Batrisyia. Danish suker naan kosong je. Maysa mana2 pun dia suker heheh..

Meringue pavlova sblm dibakar dlm oven.

Nanti nk wat baklava pulak tp x cari lagi filo pastry. Bhn2 lain smua ada, pelapiknye je yg xder. Kt M'sia sng le nk carinye, sini kene hati2 esp bab2 halal/haram dlm mknn ni. Kali ni nk wat kurang manis la plak kalu tak tu mmm..smpai juling bjk mata makan - manissssssssssss....

Mmm...ni favourite Danish. Inti kastad je yg dia nak. Batrisyia xbrp gemor sgt tp layann gak kdg2 tu. Dia prefer letak inti nutella. Rumaysa..jgn tanya - dia apa2 pun gemorrrrrr ekekeke...

Never afraid of tomorrow...cause I've seen yesterday

Batrisyia siap lengkap dgn uniform tuk pi sekolah...

Danish posing dgn Arish...

Maysa (cam biasa) nyendeng2 kat Khalish...

Kalau tanpa my PEARLs di bumi Australia ni, pastinya semangat Mommy tiada lagi! Kawan2 & adik2 di sekeliling semuanya insan2 berhati mulia - Alhamdulillah...hidup perlu diteruskan...

I'll have this brave heart with me!...and wait till my darling & pearl come right in front my eyes....soon....the time will soon come....

My PEARL Arish Ikmal turned 2!

Just nk masokkan gambo birthday my PEARL, Arish Ikmal, kami sambut 18May08 - actually birth date dia 06May08. Masa ni still kat Bangi Perdana lagik

Cam biasa, since dak2 ni suker choc cake, Mommy wat choc cake gak lerrr... pehtu meehon goreng & cup cakes (xsmpt wat topping pun ceh..). Miss you Arish, indeed..I really miss you!!!

Terkenang la plak kat Arish Ikmal masa dia baby2 lagiii...uhukhukhuk...rasa baruuuu je melahirkan dia, 3.2kg - pun sgt2 senang bersalin, I used my own stimulation (as usual la kan...) - cam biasa, no epidural taken & tak rasa pe2 sakit contractions sket pun, seperti kelahiran2 yang lain. Alhamdulillah...itu lah yg selalu kupohon pdMu Ya Rabb. Syukran...Sesungguhnya Kau Maha Pemurah & Suka Memberi.....

Ni masa umur Arish Ikmal 3hari - di Hospital Pakar Annur...cam biasa, my gynae since 1998 dulu jd mother doc kt baby Mommy lg laa. Masa ni nk bersiap balik umah - hujan lebat kat luar....

Ni still dlm pantang - rambut lom cukur lg...seems baruuuu je Mommy lahirkn mu wahai anak ku...cepatnya masa2 baby mu pergi!

Merdeka Night di Uni of Newcastle, Australia

First time kami pi Merdeka Night kt Shortland Hub, Uni of Newcastle...sonok..baru nampak ramai student Malaysia - berbilang bangsa! Macam2 persembahan student wat. Group2 silat Ramizan pun cam biasa, ada gak smthg special utk tatapan audience semua.

Harijadi my PEARL ...Maysa, yg ke-6

Cam biasa, spt kt Malaysia gak, kami sambut birthday anak branak jerk. Ni pun sambut lewat birthday my PEARL sorang ni sbb Mommy kene present research proposal kt School so, dh lewat sambut. Anyway, birthday celebration tak semestinya buat on the same day kan...anyway, she was born on 16Oct02 - very2 easy delivery; xpyh push, dia kuar sdiri..pannndaiiii anak Mommy heheheh...mujur x tergolek atas lantai, dan2 gynae Doc Fatimah kejar & smbut sblh tgn...phew!

So...birthday girl..HAPPY 6th birthday!!!! Moga jadi anak yang solehah & sentiasa ingat asal-usul. Ni la rupa PEARL ku, 3rd child - Anis Rumaysa.

Diam tak diam dah almost 2 weeks kami tinggal di Maryland tanpa . Papa & Arish Ikmal.....Adussss...terasa kehilangan BESAR dalam hidup kami! Sebelum ni kehidupan kami begitu sempurna - big family! Kereta terasa lapanggggg....Rumah terasa luassss....Suasana terasa sunyiiii....

Lepas Papa & Arish IKmal pulang...kami lima beranak cam mati kutu...especially lepas Nor & Mizan sekuarga balik umah. Depa mmg true friends! Sggp dtg umah Maryland pepagi buta Ahad utk beri lambaian good-bye wat Papa & Arish! I'm touched!

Arish, mommy have to let you go...Papa needs you, k sayang...? We'll be together..soon...

Si muker ala2 jepun tu is my 5th PEARL, Khalish Fakhrey....Semakin debab, semakin ligat, semakin becok hikhikhik....ni lah antara dua PEARLS of my life!

Berpijak di bumi baru....

Not much boleh tulis at the moment, almaklumlah...busy sepanjang masa! Sebagai isteri, ibu & pelajar lalalala...tapi pe2 pun...hidup mesti diteruskan! Biarkan di bumi baru buat kami sekeluarga. Alhamdulillah, Allah sentiasa membantu. Syukran ya Rabb. Siapa lah aku tanpa redha & rahmatMu itu.

Ni gambo my 4th PEARL, Arish Ikmal tgh tido dalam kete masa mula2 sampai ke Sydney on last 09/08/08...kat tangan ada muffin tp terlentok la plak weiii hikhikhik...kiut je dier..I miss him like kkkrraazzzzyyy. Rasa part of my semangat dah tak derrrr semenjak dia pulang ke Malaysia dgn papanya. Oh Papa....I miss you like kkkkrrraaazzzzyyyy too...But we've to be strongkan Papakan...? Arish must know that Mommy will always love you...always!
