:: It's the finals, finally ::

I got my results today.. It took so long to load... Waduh.. suspense giler..

And then my results was displayed..
Abnormal Psychology - B
Social Psychology - B-

okielah.. Alhamdullilah, I passed but I believe I could have done better for my Abnormal Psychology.. I got As for all the three assignments so to get a B means I did badly in my examinations..

Anyway, no point brooding over spilled milk..

So next year shall be the finale..............

Yabada badoooooooooooooooooooooo

Now that I remember, Man is like one month away from his wedding... Excited tak man???????

:: Balik Kampong ::

We went back to Muar last Wed night.. It was a last minute trip... Ayie managed to rent a car at 4pm that day itself and decide that we are all gonna balik kampong...

I was a bit jittery about the trip since I am like the new member of the family... So it would definitely take some time getting myself comfortable..

So we left Singapore at 10am by Secondlink and reach Muar at 1am. The drive took 2hrs but the time taken to travel from Marsiling to Tuas plus the jam took an hour..

We were like going for a picnic.. Me, ayie, MIL, my SIL bibah and nephews munched and laughed followed by some silence as the rest fell asleep.. Me... I can't stop yakking since I need to keep Ayie awake..

We chatted for a bit when we reach his Tok's place.. The ladies went to help out in the kitchen but I escape lah.. I am not really a kitchen person and his aunt were all shooing me out... So I kinda welcome the shooing.. Lol..

Ayie miss the Eid prayers because his Tok gave all of them the wrong info.. While in Singapore, prayers start at 7.30am, there it starts later.. Tok said it starts at 9.30am so all of them hegeh hegeh lah.. and when Ayie came out of the toilet.. the mosque which is just opposite our place was all quiet... Dah start dah solat raya..

We were all laughing at them as tok told them it was at 9.30am but he dah pegi.. kene tipu hollow hollow..

His relatives was okie.. Friendly people.. I talk to Bibah a bit... I have been warned that she is kinda quiet but hopefully we talk more and then I would have more geng when I am at home.. Just like when I am at my own home...

Ayie brought me to the sawah... It was so refreshing.. We even caught a flock of egrets flying from one place to another with many more littered across the vast padi fields.. I told Ayie to bring me over one day and I am gonna bring a good book... Sit and just read peacefully while being entertained by the occasional chirpings of birds...

No pics though since Ayie forget his handphone.. I even learn how to start a bike and I did it in one try.. I told Ayie it could be a sign that I would do well if I take up bike license.. He say can can.. You just stand there and kickstart everybpdy's bike for them... Way so encouraging lah..

Anyway, we left at 1pm for JB to meet my dad and siblings so we could go to Busujai place.. But Hafiz was caught up and only Ira, my dad and Ain came along..

We were frantically trying to look for the place.. Lucky we found it.. Punyalah ulu rumah busujai..

we hang around at my place after that.. Ayie had dinner with the rest while I just serve the net..

Ayie send me to work today as he's still on leave.. He promise to clean the room up and I am serioualy looking forward to a clean and organised room..

Oh, I had a harrowing experience with them cats on Tuesday night that left me all broken and in tears... Ya Allah, please gimme the strength to go through this...

Last note..

Try this anti mosquito patch..



No mosquitos left their signatures on us.. we were mosquito free for 2 days...

:: Changes ::

Since the day I got married, there have been so many changes.. So many changes that I thought I myself would not be able to cope.. With changes, there come also responsibilities.. Alhamdullilah, things have been going smoothly... I have been trying to adapt with the changes, being versatile and flexible.. And when I couldn't, there's always hubby who tries his best to accommodate and help..

I would really like to thank Allah, for giving me a wonderful, helpful, loving, caring and understanding husband..

I am proud to say that my husband do not have issues on whether I have to wash the clothes and prepare drinks and food, make the bed or other stuffs for him.. But he prefer that we both help each other... He help me make my drink, wash my clothes, iron my clothes and even attempt to cook for me when he was home early... And when I am free I do the same for him.. It is reciprocal... While others think that it would make him sissy or kena control...I believe by doing so, we would be able to strengthen the bond and understand each other situation.. We even gave each other a nice head massage last night...

I woke up early this morning, I help to mop the kitchen since it is all sticky while hubby separate the colours and whites before putting them into the washing machine.. I put the clothes on the hanger while he help me hang them on the bamboo poles.. I got ready while he make me tea.. By doing things together, we do chores more efficiently.. Don't you think so???

I have been staying with my in laws for about a week now, though the cats limit my movement around the house and at times almost trigger a heart attack, I try my very best to hang and mingle around.. I do not wish to stay in the room all the time since it won't be good kan... I won't say it is easy, but it is not that tough either.. But one week is still early to judge.. I try my best and would continue to do so..

Anyway, my room is in a mess..



This is the little mess.. The mess have grown in size rapidly... Macam ader baking powder gitu.. Just expand and expand.. I think by this weekend we are gonna get it all cleaned up and then I shall change the bedsheets and curtains.. tukar colour and then my room will be very nice and cosy.. Just need my bedside lamp and a bedside table to complete the look...

Perfect...

Anyway, my mom is away now.. In Arafah, performing the fifth pillar of Islam.. The Haj.. Alhamdullilah, she is doing fine.. I would definitely recommend Shahidah travel for those who intend to do their pilgrimage.. They sms the NOK on the jemaah's movement. I think that is great as it gives us a peace of mind..

After my mom went in, the whole family including Uncle Dollah feast at Mac while waiting to see the plane fly off..

And Ronald MacDonald gain a sudden popularity..



Hafiz buat Ronald jadik Kassim Selamat...



My hubby caught me kissing Ronald..



Ronald almost broke his leg when Ira sat on him... Poor Ronald..



Nenek pon nak gak dok ngan Ronald..



Finally Ain pon join skali...

So after the tears and goodbyes last Thursday, we the siblings played badminton.. It was Hafiz and Ayie's idea to do so... Book the court last minute and had two hours of fun...



Sea Games rejects in action... If we started early, we might just be the next Ronald Susilo or Taufik Hidayat tau..

The cab hike is driving me crazy.. I shall try my utmost best to abstain from taking a cab.. So expensive.. Imagine me travelling from Marsiling to Jurong... Pokai seh..

So now, I shall go back relax relax. After lunch, I shall go home.. I am working tonight till tomorrow morning. Practice my retirement job... Perhaps I could clean the room a bit to minimize the mess and my headache looking at the mess.. Eventhough Ayie ask me to wait for him as he wants to do it together...


But sorry dear.. I cannot wait oredii...

Don't you think Multiply has gone a bit bonkers..

:: My Sweet Escape ::

So now the honeymoon.. Finally like I manage to talk bout it after like so long....

We went to Langkawi.. If was definitely a much awaited break from the chaos and all.. Left Singapore on the 28 Nov for the airport..

It's like our first trip together.. I mean just the two of us and we were really looking forward to it...



At Changi Airport Departure hall..

The check in was smooth... We secured a wiondow seat..



Us inside Silkair MI364...

One hour and fifteen minutes later, we land in Langkawi..



It was scorching hot but we were to busy taking pics that we forget all about the heat..

Greeted by our tour guide Uncle boon and we were whisked to our abode for 4 days..



Berjaya Langkawi Beach and Spa Resort..

It was a resort tuck far far away in one corner of the island...



Check in was fast and off we took the tram to out tiny hut...



The front and back view of our little hut...



There sparkling apple juice and honeymoon cake that greets us upon our entrance into the room...






The interior was nice and cosy.. It looks like small on the outside.. but inside was pretty huge..

After resting a bit, we did our Asar prayers and decide that massage is what we both need.

The counter recommend getting massages outside as it is much cheaper so we decide dto try on the Indian Ayurvedic oil massage which is the recommended one in Langkawi..



It looks quite scary right... Wakakakak

They use hot oil to massage you and you come out very very oily...



This is the lady who did my massage.. I toook this on the web so that person there is definitely not me.. Hmph..

We had the Abhyanga which is a traditional Ayurvedic full body massage using a mixture of warm herbal oils mixed especially for each client. An hour of invigorating massage is followed by a warm dhanyamla dhara traditional Ayurvedic herbal bath. Abhyanga relaxes muscles, increases blood circulation, soothes the nervous system and is indicated for rheumatism, arthritis, muscle wasting, and treatment of sunburn.
This traditional sports massage focuses on delivering brisk massage therapy for maximum penetration. The application of muscle recovery herbal oil optimizes muscle flexibility and health. This massage is perfect for those with sore and aching muscles.

Oh they didn't bathe us, we scrub and bathe each other.. It was fun actually... Kekekke

After that we told the driver to sent us some place where we can get food since we are not going to eat at the hotel. We are not paying RM21 for mee goreng mamak.. Ridiculous.. So went to this warung and get some food.



Ayie with part of the spread...

Then after dinner and Isyak.. We also lepak lah... We have an early morning tomorrow..

29 November 2007 (Thursday)

After a hearty breakfast, Uncle Boon fetch us for the island hopping.... We had arrange to have our Island Hopping and Island tour done on the same day so we can jalan jalan on our own on the third day...



So first stop was of coz the jetty at Kuah..



We then quickly hop onto the speed boats which reminds me of my trips to pulau Ubin..



We better get our life jackets on sebab dangerous.. The boat was bumping here and there as the waters were quite choppy...



After the many shrieks and awws and splash of water, we arrive at Island of the Pregnant Maiden which is Pulau Dayang Bunting...



Can you see the outline which resemble a pregnant lady..



Ayie swim while me..



I am contented being the bai jaga.. I've been there before so I kasi chance lah Ayie swim..

After that, we went Eagle Island or Pulau Lang



That black specks in the sky was supposed to be eagles but they are so fast, I couldn't catch them, lah.. There was so many and there were so big..



After that the final Island which is Pulau Beras Basah which is directly translated to Wet Rice Island.. I definitely did not find any rice that are wet.. There were many monkeys though...

After spending an hour there we hop back into the boat and make our way back to mainland..

We have lunch at this warung.. It serves the best Ikan bakar.,. That was what uncle boon said and the ikan was really good. We had the grilled grouper... good to the bones.. I don't like fish but this was superb..

So first stop of our island tour was the batik shop where we bought batik pencil cases then to Makam Mahsuri...



You can read a bit on the history of Mahsuri from there... The place change a lot.. There's a museum now with many other attractions compared to the last time I went which was almost a decade ago..

Then we went to the MARDI Langkawi Agrotechnology Park..



We hop onto this lorry and then we were off to a fruitty adventure..

Best tau... There were fruits and more fruits and Uncle kadir even tell us about the fruits.. Help us take pics..



He let us climb on top of the Starfruit tree and take a pic.. Best lah once in a while feeling monkey..

After that we went to our last stop which is to borong minyak gamat before dropping by a warung for some food...

Reach hotel, we solat then go swimming...

We did not go out that night.. Just laze around..



From the day bed





to our huge king size bed..



But our matrimonial bed is still lagi gerek tau...

We slept early to start the next day with a bang..

30 November 2007 (Friday)

We rent a car after breakfast and go from



The donno what the harbour is called...




to some dried up padi fields...



To this old taman keris



then to some bridge...



before getting to the must visit Eagle Square...


Then Ayie shop for t-shirts..



We were even fascinated by bulls and cows... to actually take pics with them...



And that delicious oh so soft doughnuts from some warung coupled with some ice cold coconut juice to cool us down..



And Pantai Kok which was affected by the tsunami...



To a cable car ride which was breathtaking...



which almost blew us away due to the strong winds..



We played with deers





and even rabbits...

But we still didn't get enough... We went back to the hotel to change and then were out again...



for more shirts



and food....



Us with food.. The Ikan Siakap tiga rasa and grilled chicken was also good...




We then end the night with some awful tasting shissha..

1 December 2007 (Saturday)

We skip breakfast as we woke up late...

A quick shower, we went out of our little hut... So sad..



We also left our cute monkey-ish tram...



Left Uncle Boon our tour guide..



With our boarding pass all ready..



We left Langkawi with a heavy heart... Uweek... Ayie Said we will be back.. for sure..

See super long right my entry... What to do, we had a super packed honeymoon...

Eversince I get married, I have someone to monitor my computer usage.. Like seriously.. My beloved husband...

He would go.. Okie your eyes need a break.. Go look out of the window for a while.. Then I would plead... I'll stop after this entry..

And while I am busy with my laptop.. He was busy with the fan.. He cleans the fan.. Thoroughly tau.. He said, you got sinus then the fan so dusty... Alahai...

There have been so many changes after the wedding... Me being super afraid of cats now have to live in a house with 5 cats... Ironic but true.. I have to limit my movement because I don't wanna get freaked out..

Ayie is trying to work things out since he really pity me..

He have been sweet to send me to the toilet and wait till I am done so just that he could escort me back to our room...

I even broke down... I didn't show them how freaked out I am even when I am extremely feeling so...


It's tough but I am trying to endure .. for him... I am trying my best...

He just called to say he miss me... Haiz.. How can I not love him...
