RAMADHAN , SYAWAL....a time for cleansing our souls & a time for forgiving &... to capture lovely memories.....

Assalammualaikum semua....

I hope it's not to late to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri maaf zahir batin.

I've been neglecting my blog for awhile as i am so thrill with this new thing;instagram...

Maybe it is so simple that i just have to use my phone instead of switching & uploading photos to the computer.

Somehow...i do miss my blog & my friends...
Lots of catching up to do.....

Tahun ni puasa di bulan Ramadhan lain macam ...letih lesu yg teramat sangat...must be the weather i guess...extremely hot!

This was the second year our neighbourhood practise tadarus Al-quran...
Kami cuba mengimarahkan bulan yg mulia dgn memperbanyakkan membaca kitab suci...Al-Quran.


We managed to khatam just a week before Syawal.

Some of our husbands were there for the khatam ceremony....


As always Dato Mazidah is generous enough to let us perform any good purposes @ her Anexxe.

Besides reciting the holy book...we had also witnessed a programme on *pengurusan jenazah* during the holy month of Ramadhan.

Gerun...takut tapi... pasti semua akan melaluinya!

Not much preparation has been done for the glorious day...hari raya....
But surprisingly i manage to buat rendang tok on the request of hubby dear that had cos' me to sleep until 3am...

And that was my 2nd attempt of making rendang tok...sadly no picture has been taken only video clip which i myself dont know how to put thru in my blog....

As usual the 1st raya...we were in Istana Iskandariah KKangsar for the solat raya.

But the best part of this year raya was when sis Iha & family came back after few years ever since her hubby is sick.

with dearest sisters & sis in law

We had a barbeque @ my dad's house the 1st night of raya...family gathering.

And to make it more meriah for every raya was the open house @ my place for my family & hubby's family...

my boys with their cousins

opppss...sorry sis...that's the only pix of u in my house!

Hari Raya is the time to forgive & forget for all the past mistakes or misunderstandings among family & friends...& also to have beautiful memories with our loved ones!

May each day in our lives bring fond memories...

WEEKEND IN PENANG

Hiya peeps...hoping everyone had a lovely time with your loved ones during the weekend!
I've been in silence for awhile...busy...busy...busy!

I'm having lovely time too with my family in Penang.
It has been ages since we've gone together for vacations.
And it's not easy anymore to get everyone  
together like we used to....
It's either different semester break or.....

Yet...one of my son is missing. He's in college & not able to join us.

The home made karipap pusing & tiny fruity choc cup cakes are for the trip....to fill up the boys & bapak budak hungry tummies!

We drove along the new second bridge of Penang. It's so much longer than the first bridge.

We had a peek at the Hard Rock Hotel after checking in at our hotel.

The interior decor is very interesting...it was just like in the museum.

With all my sayang....

The Holiday Inn...where the family day was done.

Preparation for the barbeque.

Due to poor lighting...i just couldn't take the pix where my hubby was singing away *my way*. That's his favourite & only song whenever his staff requested him to sing...ha ha!

Before leaving Penang...we had a joy ride in a small boat around the island. 

Not that i'm against being adventurous...but i'm actually TAKUT!!

We have to put on the safety jacket before starting off.

It's so lovely....

Somewhere at sea...there were built huts for some fishing activities.

It's really a new experience for the boys!

At first it was quite scary...but after awhile i seem to enjoy myself!

Though it was just over the weekend...but the time spent with the children was just so meaningful!

THE ROOM IN THE GARDEN

Finally....the room in the garden.

...very soon it will be the bride's room....

I had requested the Indon worker for a bird house...but this is what i get...a model of a housing scheme....ha ha!!

Nevertheless....thanks a million...he was so proud of it!

A garden makes a house a home....

something to entertain me when i'm gardening.....

I had said earlier that this house is already too big for us ever since the children had left...& we need not have to extend it.

...but...human wants are never enough ehh!...

Who knows...it might turn out to be my 

grandchildren play room!
