Oh dear, i’m seeing spider webs everywhere. pardon for the silence blog. i’ve been busy elsewhere and the convenience of having instagram and other mobile apps made it look like u’ve been ignored for quite some time.
honestly, i have the slightest idea what to write here, where to begin. time flew pretttty fasttt in 2012. each month passed with unforgettable events and suddenly we are already in the end of Quarter 3 2012! Â I’m thinking of checking my phone gallery timeline to backtrack the happenings since i last update this blog.
AprilÂ
1- Elyssa got warded for 5 days due to some bacterial fever; plus a strike of febrile fit that made things even more serious at that time.
May
1 – MOH, Irene and Elyssa tagged along with me to Singapore.
I was on a business trip but the meeting was scheduled for 2 days only. We extended our stay and went to the USS. overall, it was a brief trip and cannot be considered as a family vacation at all. it was more a less a ground survey.. hehehe. but at least, we know what to expect there it and will definitely plan for another visit there. next stop, Sentosa Island 😀
2 – side note on Elyssa’s health. she got fever twice this month; during Singapore visit and 2 weeks after that.
June
1 – Wedding bells of my cousin, Pudin. My parents decided to held a Tahlil & Kenduri Kesyukuran for him at our house, since my aunt (mother of my cousin) has passed away many years ago. The event was also to celebrate our 5th year wedding anniversary. Attended by all uncle, aunts and cousins from my father’s side, guests from our own Kariah Masjid and Orphanage, Alhamdulillah it was a successful event although it started a bit later due to another ad-hoc event that took place at the mosque on the same night . Everyone was satisfied with the food served.. and most importantly, the event went well.
2 – Â Subsequently, the wedding event of my cousin at Semenyih.
3 –Â MOH, Irene and Elyssa tagged along with me to Cherating, Pahang. It took only 1/2 day for me to work and we extended our stay till weekend. Visited the Turtle Sanctuary, had some keropok lerok and spent a very brief time at the beach. yang ni pun i tak count as vacation.. huhu
4 – Irene’s Sports Day
5 – Me going to Bali. Alone. This was strictly a-week business trip..so there was no chance for anyone to tag along. Plus, MOH already took few days off in the same month.
July
1 – MOH got myself a priceless gift! It was my birthday month! Sneak peak.. 😉
2- Made a meaningful decision after a 2-hour survey at one of the famous automobile showroom. Alhamdulillah, we are glad with the decision we made that day 😀
2 – Went to Perpustakaan Raja Tun Uda, Shah Alam for the 1st time. In Holy Month of Ramadhan!
August
1- Elyssa was down with fever again..it went on and off for a week. Surprisingly, she took on a set of new skills once recovered. Org tua2 kata, demam sbb nak melangkau tahun! Yes, she was going to be a 2-yo three days before Syawal (according to Hijrah Calendar).
2 – Its Eid Mubarak! Still fresh huh.. So this year we celebrated at Sg Petani, Kedah. It was an entirely different from the past experiences altogether.
I made sup tulang, sambal kicap, nasi impit and rendang daging for the Syawal menu. MIL ordered some ketupat palas and serunding. And oh, my youngest BIL brought some pizza and KFC on top of everything. Alhamdulillah, most uncle and aunts were gathered at my in-law’s house that day and the girls had a lot of fun!
2nd day of Syawal we went to Batu Feringgi and spent almost the whole day there. Elyssa get to experience her 1st ferry ride! 3rd day we hit the road to the Arau, Perlis..Bdr Darul Aman and visited a dear friend, Iliani at her parent’s house in Sg Petani before heading home. We slowed down a bit on 4th Syawal.. lazying around at home most of the time, charging up before going back to KL the next day.
3 – Unbelievable or not, i had to re-visit Batu Feringgi for a 3-day business meeting. So here i am now while typing this out. This time, only MOH tagged along. The girls get to spend a week with my parents; which means a countless hari raya trip and kenduri kawin with dearest mak tok & abah tok (yes, my parents love doing this).
well, those pretty much sums up everything. will be updating it with pictures shortly! 😉
