Nyonya Biscuits with Welcome Teas, Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak Royal Kedah, Complimentary Coffee at Malacca |Biskut Nyona dengan Teh sambut tetamu, Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak Royale Kedah, Kopi Komplimentari

Bahasa dan video pendek di bawah :)

English version and short video below:)

After we had Boost Juice, we went to Publika etc. the next day off to Malacca. 

| Setelah menikmati Boost Juice kami pergi Publika dll. Keesokkan hari baru pergi ke Melaka. 

Since I compiled the later photos of food, would U-turn after this hehe | Dah kumpul gambar makanan yang terawal sikit nanti belok U balik hehe

Arrived safely at Malacca the historical city, we went straight to find a hotel. The road structure in Malacca city mostly are one way; So, we drove from a circles before finally found the hotel. 

At the lobby we had Welcome Tea with Nyonya Biscuits but I used to call it 'biskut timbang'. Immediately I poured the tea from the majestic looking pot to the beautiful China cups, adik enjoyed opening the packets of different type of biscuits which were :

Pineapple Tart Biscuits

Colored Sugar Cookies

As for dinner, we planned to go out but dad wanted to eat Mee Rebus;  mee with beef gravy.  So, we ordered via Grab and ate at the library as a hotel has few designated rooms. By the way the restaurant opens at 7pm but we (my dad) couldn't wait. Stopped at the library ala reading room.

The next morning, I ordered Nasi Royale Kedah, coz the hotel didn't have room service, they only do delivery of food to room from the reception where the Grab dropped in. 

While waiting for the food I fixed myself the complimentary coffee with the coffee machine. So let all the tummies of the troop full, then only made our moved out and about. Where to? Brb To be continue.. :) 

Happy Thursday ❤️

Sampai di Melaka, bandaraya bersejarah, kami terus cari hotel. Struktur jalanraya di bandar ni kebanyakkannya sehala, buat laluan bulat pusing pusing barulah terjumpa hotel. 

Di lobby kami disambut dengan Teh dan biskut Nyonya, saya panggil biskut timbang, nostalgik. Terus tuang teh dari teko majestik ke cawan China comel. Adik suka buka  paket biskut, adala beberapa diantaranya ialah:

Biskut jem nenas

Biskut gula warna-warni

Untuk makan malam, kami rancang nak keluar, tapi bapa tak menyempat nak makan Mee Rebus. Saya pesan melalui Grab dan makan mee rebus di bilik bacaan. Hotel seakan mansion tu mempunyai berbagai bilik khas. Sebelum tu, restoran di hotel buka pukul 7 malam, tak dapatla menunggu. Makan je kat bilik ala perpustakaan. 

Bila pagi menjelang, saya pesan Nasi Lemak Royale Kedah  sebab hotel bagaikan rumah agam "mansion" tiada "room service". Cuma ada penghantaran ke bilik dari kaunter penyambut tetamu dimana Grab letak makanan di situ. 

Sementara menunggu makanan dihantar saya bancuh kopi complimentary dengan mesin kopi. Biar perut-perut angkatan  kenyang. Baru boleh keluar jenjalan. Ke mana ya? Tungguuu... Bersambung.. :) 

Salam Khamis ❤️

New Picnic Table by Taman Jaya Lake | Meja Berkelah Baru di tepi Tasik Taman Jaya

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Packed picnic bag and new folded table :)  Siap beg berkelah dan meja lipat baharu :)

More comfy with folded table| Lebih selesa dengan meja lipat

Earlier on I wanted to go for a walk to the shop and buy steak, wanted to teach kids how to grill meat. And teach them how to eat steak with real steak knives.

Holiday mood conquered laziness or vice versa. Stayed home til the last day we made our way to have lunch by the lake again.

We headed up towards the central Klang Valley. Stop and took exit before the arch of welcoming us to the Federal Territory that is our capital city, Kuala Lumpur.

Arrived there, saw few folks were fishing, families relaxing and finishing eating not sure eating or just sitting but saw kids played at the playground.

We opened the table, set infront of the lake by the city. Nature in the city we were. Love the sounds of manmade and the nature. Harmonily embrace the smell, sounds and the views, lively and alive.

Happy Thursday❤️

Pada mulanya saya berangan angan untuk berjalan kaki ke pasaraya untuk membeli daging stik. Mahu ajar abang dan adik macamana nak memasak stik, cara makan stik dan juga cara menggunakan pisau stik.

Hati perasaan percutian telah menakluki kemalasan ke terbalik kot. Hanya duduk dirumah sahaja hingga hari akhir barulah buat keputusan untuk ke tasik berdekatan untuk makan tengahari.

Kami menuju kearah pusat tengah Lembah Kelang. Berhenti lalu masuk laluan keluar sebelum jumpa dengan pintu gerbang yang menyambut datang ke Wilayah Persekutuan itu, iaitu laluan ke ibunegara, bandaraya Kuala Lumpur.

Sampai disana, ternampak ada beberapa orang yang sedang memancing, ada juga keluarga yang sedang berehat selepas habis makan tengahari, rasanya. Dari jauh juga nampak kanak kanak yang gembira bermain ditaman permainan.

Kami buka meja yang baru dibeli,  betul betul berhadapan tasik didalam kota itu. Keindahan alam semulajadi ditengah kota yang kami diami ini. Suka dengan bunyi bunyian dari ragam manusia serta dari alam semulajadi itu sendiri. Suasana harmoni yang mendakapi rasa, bunyi dan permandangan itu amat meriah dan hidup.

Salam Khamis ❤️

An evening at the park | Sepetang di taman

Catch them and send to the Council will be paid by Adun

Encountered peeled dried fruits  on the grass full of insects

Terserempak kulit buah kering penuh dengan serangga

A man made an owl house | Sebuah rumah burung hantu buatan manusia

What sign this could be | Petanda apakah ini? 

Residential park just walking distance from home, only 10 steps away I would say. 

As we walked along the trail at the left side, there were people jogged from opposite right side from the same trail, I got nervous because they are sweaty wet. We were very careful to avoid a splash or even a drop.. 

 

We stopped and played with the peeled fruit like puppet. We also saw branches that fell down due to heavy rain or storm.  

After we finished a full circle, we saw an owl house installed on a tree in the park. Before, we have heard about a biological control system to have a pest free area by having the owls around. As a reference, one adult owl can hunt up to 3 to 6 rodents a night. Doing the math over here.. it will totaled up to 1095 to 2190 number of rodents a year for each bird optimistically. Just imagine if there are three or four birds around... hmm, that will not be a whole lot of rodents left around. 

I even learnt that the YB Adun  paid to whoever that brought the pest dead or alive down to the town council. On the lighter side, I'd say the owls would be the 'clear winner' here, if they can show the proof of the hunt, instead of eating them clean hehe.. 

Our past and current YB Adun (State Representative) have done a good job in our area. Young ladies from one another. 

Ok that's it, wrapping up care of our parks and neighbourhood :) 

Happy Monday❤️

Taman di kawasan perumahan tak jauh dari rumah, boleh kata 10 tapak jer dah sampai (depan rumah). 

Kami jalan sepanjang trek kat tepi belah kiri, ada beberapa orang berjogging melawan arus dari belah kanan, cemas juga bila pelari berpeluh mendekati. Elak setitik terpercik..

Kami main dengan kulit buah tu macam puppet. Nampak banyak dahan terjatuh fasal ribut atau hujan lebat. Bila dah abis pusing sepenuh taman, ternampak pula sebuah rumah burung hantu.

Sebelum ini kami dah tahu projek kawalan biologi untuk membenteras haiwan perosak dengan membela burung hantu. Sebagai rujukan, seekor burung hantu yang matang boleh memburu 3 hingga 6 ekor mangsa semalam. Bayangkan kalau setahun... Meh buat congak sikit, 1095 hingga 2190 ekor setahun, untuk seekor burung. Kalau ada 3 atau 4 ekor burung, memang tak ada banyak lah yang tinggal.

Kami juga dapat tahu yang YB Adun di kawasan kami ini juga membayar duit buat penduduk yang bawa makhluk perosak itu samada hidup atau mati. Saja nak melawak disini, saya rasa si burung hantu lah yang akan kaya raya, kalau boleh tunjuk bukti buruannya dan bukan dia bedal licin.. hehe

YB Adun kami yang dulu dan sekarang masing masing telah menjalankan tugas mereka dengan bagus dan terbaik.  Wanita muda dari satu yang lalu dan yang kini. 

Ok itu saja liputan tentang penjagaan taman kami :). 

Salam Isnin yang bahagia❤️

Three Wheelers Bajay at Jakarta | Kereta beroda tiga di Kota Jakarta

Bahasa dan video seminit di bawah :)

English version and one minute video below :)

Terokai Bajay biar bertempat | Exploration needs knowledge

Bergantung pada umur jua| Depends on age range too

Adventurers are born? Not all but someone of us is, she liked to try out backpackers style. We were with kids but she love the idea of waiting at the 24 hours restaurant or shop like 7E till the ferries started to operate in early morning or for airplane to depart. 

We rather had a room by the port or station to rest for few hours get freshen up  and catch the ferry or whatever we need to do next after the transit. She'll be ready with a bag filled with few clothes and good to go. 

We were in the city of Jakarta. After visited the market, we took a cab to a mall. I didn't bother much what mall to visit because  I was just like to experience being there. This trip was before pandamic, the security checked our bags before entering the mall. 

As long as the hotel was a well known or chained one, I was a bit at peace. We spent sometimes at the mall because  I assumed it was the best time to rest after walked at the market, we have kids, we have elderlies with us, we made a move. slowly and safely in a high population of a big city.

After 1 or 2 hours we decided to go back to the hotel. I decided to take the taxi but one of us wanted to take the bajay.  It was not easy to decide as the motorbike taxi came to offer as well as the bajay drivers did the same,  3 or 4 could go into bajay. We divided by two. So one group with me another group went to another bajay. 

The ride was fast, I and my group arrived first, the suspense part, another group hadn't yet to arrive. Panicking, I called relative in Malaysia to tell what happened. We waited and prayed hard.  The hotel staffs follow along to wait. About more than an hour they arrived, the driver didn't recognised the hotel as the the bajay is meant for city centre ride.

So adik was worried at that time because she was separated with abang, hope it wasn't a nightmare to them.  

Actually, the adventurer spent also a lot  for us. Thank you, love her may she be blessed with happiness always. Aameen. We haven't seen her for awhile. 

Peace greetings ❤️

Pengembara dilahirkan? Tak semua tapi seorang dari kami memang berani mengembara, dia suka mencuba gaya backpackers. Kami dengan budak-budak, dia masih dengan caranya, lebih gemar tunggu feri di restaurant  24 jam atau kedai seakan 7E tu selepas tengah malam. Juga untuk kapalterbang. Tak perlu berbilik transit. 

Kami sanggup mengambil bilik walau untuk 2 atau 3 jam berehat dan menyegarkan badan baru gegas ke feri. 

Dia dengan bagnya yang berisi baju sehelai dua sudah bersedia untuk kembara.

Kami berada di Kota Jakarta semasa ini. Kami ambil taxi dari hotel hendak ke mall. Tetapi beliau mahu ke pasar dahulu. Selepas pasar baru ke mall. saya rasa sesuailah ke mall kerana kami ada budak-budak dan  warga emas.

Bila berjalan ke negara orang ni, jika hotel yang ada nama sikit atau rangkaian hotel yang kenal, saya dah rasa tenangla sikit. 

Kami luangkan masa di mall, saya rasa tempat itu sesuai selepas berjalan di pasar tadi lagipun  ada budak dan warga emas. Dapat pengalaman di mall orang  di mana mereka check/scan beg masa nak masuk. Ni jalan_jalan sebelum pandamik. 

Sejam dua di  Starbucks kami perlu gerak ke hotel walau ada yang nak terus ke safari, aii. Ni pun.. bergerak perlahan agar selamat di negara besar  yang ramai penduduk. 

Bila turun ke pintu keluar mall, meneru pula yang menawar naik kenderaan mereka ada yang bawa motor, teksi, ada yang bawa bajay, biasala seorang pengembara yang dingati selalu dalam doa kami, lama tak jumpa sejak pandamik ni.   Beliau pilih bajay kereta beroda tiga, jadi terpaksa berpisah separuh anggota pasukan, separuh dengan saya, separuh lagi naik satu lagi bajay. 

Memang laju bajay di bawa, kami sampai dulu. Berdebar juga bajay satu lagi belum sampai, Panik sangat hingga menelefon sedara di Malaysia. Berbanyak berdoa sambil menunggu. Pekerja hotel pun turut menunggu. Kira sejam lebih juga, Alhamdulillah mereka sampai. Pemandu bajay tak berapa tahu jalan kerana bajay memang untuk di sekitar pusat bandar sahaja. 

Harap adik tidak serik berpengalaman begini terutama terpisah dengan abang. 

Dia, si pengembara yang dikasihi  berbelanja banyak juga untuk kami. Bersyukur, terima kasih, sayang beliau, moga beliau dirahmati dengan kebahagiaan selalu. Aameen. Cuma lama tak jumpa sekarang ni.

Tasik yang indah | Beautiful lake is the opening  

Bas dua tingkat menaikkan seri

Double decker bas made the best trademark

Encountered an eagle view spot with monkeys! the spoiler | 

 Penemuan permandangan mata helang dan monyet monyet yang kacau daun. 

We were so excited after the announcement that we are free to go out as the MCO went to phase 2. We were planning to go somewhere nearby that suits the kids.

I saw the lake was full of visitors. Unfortunately, the A&W ordering was long queue too.  I found it frustating because I have planned already to eat waffles, I immediately suggested to go to McD instead to keep up everyone's spirits alive. We proceeded to McD, as I didn't want anyone to get upset.

 

I even brought picnic basket to set up by the lake with lush green backdrop hehe.. 

We bought the food and park at the square. Even at the small park by the corner has water fountain splashing opposite. We saw a few families there. Kids ran ecstatically after water shoot up.  

We also want to check out the hiking place nearby, so we drove up and saw the signage direction  to the Gasing Hill Education forest. We passed thru but didn't find it, we mistakenly turn left to the residential area. Big houses with spacious yards. One of the houses even have Roman and gladiator statues infront. 

We ascended up and further up, we encounter a beautiful view. We thought we wanted to park the car and take photos.  Unfortunately the area was full of monkeys. We thought of fruits leftovers on the ground were for monkeys. 

Anyway it is nice that we discovered that spot, we captured thd open wide scenery and it was such a beautiful sight. The monkeys were on the scene for a moment. 

After a while we passed thru the arch entrance of education forest and it was actually sealed and closed. There is another entrance called Taman Rimba Kerinchi: If time permits, we will explore there. 

Peace! ❤️

Kami teruja bila pengumuman PKP masuk phasa 2 dimana 'rakyat jelatek dah boleh keluar merendek'. 

Rancangan asalnya ialah keluar tempat berdekatan yang sesuai untuk budak-budak. 

Saya nampak ditasik meneru orang menuju ke situ Di A&W, terlalu panjang queuenya, saya 'koni-kechiwa' la juga sebab tak dapat makan A&W waffles.

Cepat-cepat saya cadang untuk singgah McD bagi mengelakkan tergugat semangat suka-suka.

Kami beli makanan dan berhenti di tepi taman square bandar di depan tu ada air pancut dari seberang jalan, ada beberapa keluarga, ramai juga budak-budak berlari kegirangan bila air meletus tinggi. 

Sebenarnya saya siap bawa beg berkelah. Hajat nak menghampar tikar tepi tasik berlatarbelakang kehijauan tebal, hehe..

Kami juga ingin melawat dan memanjat bukit di sini, terus memandu lalu ternampak papan tanda tentang haluan ke Hutan Pendidikkan di Bukit Gasing.

Kami lalu depannya tak perasan, tersilap pula pusing kiri, masuk ke kawasan perumahan besar-besar dengan laman luas-luas. Satu tu siap ada patung Gladiator Roman di depan rumahnya. 

Pandu naik keatas, naik hingga terjumpa puncak bukit dengan permandangan yang indah.

Ingat nak la berhenti dan ambil gambar. Sedih juga kerana ada banyak monyet monyet liar berkeliaran.

Agaknya buah-buahan bersepah diatas tanah tu untuk monyet. Apapun perancanganNya itu lebih baik. SubhanAllah kerana mempertemukan puncak dengan keindahan dari atas ke bawah, permandang yang sangat menarik. 

Semasa pandu hala turun ambil laluan yang sama barulah ternampak yang pintu gerbang naik ke bukit tu ditutup dan di letak tape belang merah. Ada satu lagi pintu masuk iaitu di Taman Rimba Kerinchi, bila ada masa, kita teroka situ pula :)

Sekolam kehidupan | water living

Bila ada sebuah pulau, permandangan menjadi indah

  The appearance of an island made everything nice

Years past by, the moment by the lake still lingers. From home we straight drove to Putrajaya, Federal Terittory. In the city itself, we searched the road to the botanical garden. Driving through the garden, entering the greenery right after wide view of highways were amazing.

We stopped at the lakes to watch ducks, went in the restaurant, went to swan lake. We even go the gallery building explaining how the type of plants selected to thrived in the lake to filter out the water and all. I didn't take it serously of what, how, when, which that makes the memory lively because in the back of my mind, I wanted to take a glance and will come here again. It is not a far drive from home via highway. Little that I know, right after that the lockdown hit, even cross districts are forbidden. 

So I Iearnt not to take anything for granted every single moment, next time I get kids to write down the detail of the places that we have been to. His the best planner. 

Love greetings,❤️

Tahun berlalu, momen semasa ditasik itu masih lagi teringat. Dari rumah kami terus menuju ke Putrajaya, Wilayah Persekutuan. Dari bandaraya tersebut, kami mencari jalan ke Taman Botani. Jalan ke taman ini dikelilingi oleh kehijauan dan permandangan yang indah menakjubkan, selepas beberapa lama hanya memerhatikan lebuhraya kiri dan kanan.

Kami berhenti ditepi tasik untuk melihat itik itik dan kemudiannya ke restoran dan memerhati angsa angsa bercanda di tasik angsa. Kami juga melawat bangunan galeri yang menerangkan bagaimana tanaman tanaman tertentu dipilih khas untuk menapis air tasik tersebut dan lain lain. Saya tidak mengambil serius sangat tentang semuanya pada masa itu kerana memikirkan dilubuk hati saya ini yang hari tersebut itu hanya untuk memerhati secara rambang saja. Saya akan datang lagi pada bila bila masa nanti. Tak disangka sangka selepas PKP ini, rentas negeri dn daerah juga telah disekat. 

MashaAllah! Saya pelajari yang kita tidak boleh mengambil ringan tentang apa yang kita kecapi untuk setiap masa yang kita lalui itu, saya juga akan mengajar anak anak saya untuk mencatat fakta dan perincian untuk tempat tempat yang kami lewati nanti. Sambil lewa ingatkan ada peluang, rupanya Allah swt sebaik perancang. 

Salam Sayang, ❤️

Langkawi's Happy Family | Keluarga Bahagia Langkawi

Anak mencari ibu| Baby search for mother

Bapa, ibu dan anak berkumpul | Father, mother and new born baby reunites

We went to Langkawi and of course we visited my uncle who owns a resort there. 

He also conducts cooking sessions for tourists who interested in traditional Malay cuisines. I did saw about him in magazine/TV but never had a chance to tell him about it.

Visiting them are always interesting, island life, everyday looks like they're on vacation even though it is work for some. 

We stopped by at the resort but didn't visit his Malay designed house which is beautiful to many. 

At that time, the resort was almost ready, we listened about their plan about the end of  the village resort. Kind of impressive as they received bookings from all over the world. The cooking session is `Cook with Shuk'. the resort name is Hujung Kampung Resort. 

On the way back to our hotel, we bumped into a 'happy family', adik was so excited calling 'sweety, sweety, sweety' to the mother, and more overwhelmed when the baby walked slowly to join his mama, could see adik was enlighted how she expressed it, it's the best stop ever for us, not the zoo, not the safari but real life by the village road side. 

Let's prepare for a happy holiday. ❤️

Kami pergi ke Langkawi dan semestinya melawat pakcik saya yang mempunyai sebuah resort yang bernama Hujung Kampung Resort. 

Pakcik saya juga membuat kelas memasak makanan melayu tradisional buat pelancong pelancong yang berminat iaitu 'Cook with Shuk". Pernah melihat di majalah/televisen berkenaan pakcik saya tetapi tak berkesempatan untuk memberitahunya lagi. 

Melawat mereka memang menarik, kehidupan pulau setiap hari adalah ala percutian, walau kerja kata mereka.

Kami singgah di resort yang hampir siap masa tu, tak sempat singgah di rumah pakcik yang berkonsep rumah melayu lama untuk kali itu. 

Kami mendengar  perancangan terakhir pembinaan resort yang berkonsep percutian di dalam kampung, terpegun kerana ramai dari luar negara telah membuat tempahan awal.

Semasa menuju pulang ke hotel, kami terserempak dengan 'keluarga yang cantik dan bahagia', adik begitu teruja siap  memangil 'sayang, sayang, sayang' bila ternampak si ibu. Lagi kagum dan teruja bila ternampak si anak berjalan ke ibunya, aha baby iaitu si anak yang baru lahir katanya, meh ke ibu, come to mama, kesian pula bila dengar balik terlalu ceria penuh expressi bila suka hati.

MashaAllah! Begitulah kami terasa rezeki tak sangka dapat dinikmati memerhati keluarga ini bukan di zoo atau safari tapi kehidupan sebenar di tepi jalan.

Jom rancang percutian yang indah ❤️

Bagai persembahan

Like a show on stage

Kids watched it til the end

Abang adik teruja

Not far from Kuala Lumpur, there is a beautiful village at Bentong, Pahang. A residential area that has converted to resort living near the city. 

We planned to go south but  enroute to east.  We would like to have only a gateaway at that time. 

Didn't mind going to the beach nearby or  joy ride around the city and back home was fun for us. We only brought a minimum amount of clean clothes with us. 

Heading to east as far as to have Patin fermented durian curry at Termeloh. The infamous Gulai ikan patin tempoyak at Termerloh. 

But we didn't go straight but stop at the big RNR Genting Sempah  area where the Mcdonald is location, behind it has a route to Janda Baik. Along the highway we had thoughts of stopping at Bukit Tinggi, and have a walk at the Japanese Garden. 

If we go the opposite side of the highway, we will have a chance to visit Genting Highland, where one of the best experience was we 'unexpectedly stumbled' upon the canteen for the staffs and workers, and ended having a good hearty meal there. There is a hidden pathway in the mall that meant for staffs and we sort of wandered into the place. Anyway, this is my dad's way of exploration (way to go dad!) :) 

For this trip, we however decidedto have a 'u- turn' after Bukit Tinggi and visit a beautiful village with a peculiar name of Janda Baik (Good Widow or Divorcee). 

Our journey took us slightly up tothe highland location, that's what make the place different than any other normal village here. (a lot cooler too)

We found a lorong, not sure but after a short drive we found a resort; The place is kind of isolated but has the most impressive ambience and serene atmosphere. 

We decided to stop and check where we can rest and fill up our growling tummies, the operator  offered us to stay at their new villa not far from there, a lake front house. 

We quickly settled in and asked the caretaker to get us some food. In the morning, we witnessed the sprawling teratai flowers blooming all over the lake and they just look spectacularly beautiful.  

A horse rider crossed by to make the morning lovely. During the night, my dad wanted to eat durian, we didn't bother to care coz of tiredness from the long trip and ready to enjoy the night in peace. 

Dad however still had a way to have what he wanted, and the caretaker there was willing to fulfill his needs. He took mom's phone number. Keep calling her whether the price of durian outside was acceptable for them. If so, he would then buy and bring the durian to us. 

Dreams came true for dad and mom when the durians were served in the villa, we took a chance to enjoy and cherished every seconds of the village stay moment. 

I think I had the experience to be like a Janda Baik villager and eat like the resident eat. Now I remember the place name Bidaisari. 

If  I ever go on travel again, I will want to do what the locals do, yes, just like the saying 'when you are in Rome do as the Romans do'. 

Thats it the gateaway documentary hehe :) 

Enjoy your day ❤️

Tak jauh dari Kuala Lumpur, ada sebuah kampung yang permai di Bentong, Pahang.  Perkampungan yang ditukar ke pusat peranginan untuk sesetengah kawasan kampung di situ. 

Kami rancang hendak ke selatan tetapi melencong ke timur. Matlamat hanya inginkan suasana rehat. Tak kisahlah hala  ke pantai berdekatan atau pusing-pusing di sekitar bandar dan balik ke rumah pun sudah bahagia buat kami. Oleh itu, kami bawa persalinan paling minimum buat solat, biar bersih.

Menuju ke timur sejauh ke tempat mahsyur  dengan Gulai Tempoyak Ikan Patin.

Kami tidak terus ke Temerloh tetapi pusing ke kanan naik ke Janda Baik, jalan masuk di belakang Mcdonald's terletak di RNR Genting Sempah.

Semasa menghala ke sana sebelah kiri akan ditemui dengan Bukit Tinggi, jika kesitu boleh la  bersiar-siar ala di negara France dan di taman orang Jepun.

Ke sebalik lebuhraya akan bertemu dengan Genting Highlands, teringat pengalaman makan di kantin khas untuk perkeja-pekerja di situ, mereka menyambut baik kerana kami sesat ke situ gara-gara ikut bapa saya yang suka terokai bangunan hotel atau mall. Seronoklah dapat sembang dengan pekerja-pekerja di situ. (syabas bapa! ):) 

Untuk perngembaraan ini, kami buat pusingan u untuk ke perkampungan Janda Baik yang indah dan permai.

Perjalanan ke tanah meninggi, itulah keunikkan kampung yang penuh kehijauaan dan dingin bayu tropikal.

Kami ternampak lorong tapi bawa kami ke mana berhenti untuk bertanya tempat mengisi perut, ditawar kepada kami rumah ala villa depan tasik.

Suasana flora dan fauna semulajadi amatlah istimewa sekali.

Kami tidak berlenggah lagi untuk berehat di situ dan dilayan oleh seorang penjaga ditugaskan untuk villa kami inapi.

Dipagi hari kami dikejutkan oleh bunga-bunga kiambang yang besar-besar kembang pagi dan boleh kata memenuhi seluruh tasik didepan rumah kami (resort).

Sesambil menikmati permandangan indah itu, kami juga nampak penunggang kuda merentas di hadapan mata, memberi suasana kampung omputih la pula. Ya dah ingat  nama tempatnya ialah Bidaisari. 

Masa malamnya, bapa menyebut-nyebut nakkan durian, kami yang keletihan diam macam tu saja. Dalam hati bila keluar esok-esok hala balik kita singgah la,. Tapi kenalnya bapa, dia akan ada cara untuk dapatkan apa yang dimahukannya. 

Bapa yang bertuah ditolong oleh petugas yang menjaga kami untuk membawa sarapan dan hidangan lain kerana resort itu belum buat buffet di dewan makan. Jadi orang yang menolong bapa tak ingat pula namanya, beliau ambil nombor telefon ibu dan menelefon tentang harga jika setuju beliau bawa durian untuk mereka. 

Impian menjadi kenyataan, bila durian disajikan, kami tidak segan silu, menumpang sekaki. Nikmat betul makan durian dengan bunyi sungai mengalir ditepi pintu berlawanan pintu menghadap tasik. 

Dari pengalaman ini, saya rasa nak cubalah buat seperti orang tempatan lakukan jika melancung ke mana-mana nanti seperti perpatah Inggeris, 'jika ke rom buatlah seperti orang roman lakukan'.

Itu saja dokumentasi  makan angin merentas negeri :) (insiden sebelum pandemik. 

Kecapi hari anda ❤️

Big Cupcake in Big City | Poi Pokan

Menangkap permandangan walau patut berehat

Sekeliling penuh keindahan, cupcake juga jadi tumpuan

This is the better address in Asia, that is our country with a capital city that is wide and high charm. If you are alert, on your moving window view side could captured on camera. The row of skyscrapers by the highway look fantastic. Contrast in shapes, high and low living in it. Came across beautiful greenery, even banana leaf. Yes the saddest thing when editing with video or the best picture is when need to select and leave some views behind the scene, up in the the main that randomly choose. If possible, I would documented the grass from the other side since already stepped on it.  Long way to the big city that has been talk of the town, arrived and lingered around. Enterred in the concrete tree, found a big cupcake to celebrate the visitors, big enough for 3 bites of ours hehe.. 

Poi pokan naik basikal, tak la dengan basikal tapi rasa macam sebab banyak barang masa tu tersepit sempit.. 

Diantara alamat terbaik di Asia, iaitu tanah tumpah darah kita, ibu negaranya yang lebar dan tinggi khazanah. Jika peka, tentu akan videokan setiap pencakar langit diselang seli dengan daun pisang jika nampak. Dari permandangan tingkap yang sedang bergerak boleh diambil kira. Sepanjang lebuhraya ada saja yang mengamit rasa teruja adohai dunia.. Hingga rumput rampai pun didokumentarikan kerana dah sampai, dekat hijaunya sama. Bahagian yang paling sedih bila buat editing video, terpaksa tinggal sebahagian, ambil yang utama, tapi itulah hanya point saja disimpan bermain panjang lebar dicerita. 

Jauh perjalanan ke bandar menjadi perbualan seluruh pekan, dah sampai terus berlegar santai. Masuk di dalam pokok batu bata hehe betul ke dah pepatah orang putih cakap hutan batu bata "concrete jungle". Berada di dalam, teruja disambut dengan cupcake bersaiz besar. Bolehlah bertiga merasa, makanan lain ada diiringi, tak jumpa pula rakamannya. Alhamdulillah. Moga pemberi dilimpahi rezeki seluas-luasnya. InshaAllah. Ameen. 

Wraps with eggs and tomatoes

English version and one minute video below :) 

Memotong tomato, telur hancur.. 

Menambah protin pagi2, dalam video, masa ni tak tahu nak lipat wraps, 

Able to see there is blessing in any situation or matter, is that called positive thinking? Develop all can attitude. Kind of life changing and like being in charged. Some supposedly pray in any situation, tears in prostration that's the right way. There are many strategies to deal, and practice on. For me to pass messages or advices to kids are to pray and provide one or two duas (when they were kids, feel scare, i will give a doa) and zikir fatimah as for their daily practice. 

Having good meal is also keep you calm. When kids were small, we always make sure they fed well, then only easy to deal with the moment. Thats why the day starts with balance diet hehe, protein, carbo and fibre. Simple and provide energy til afternoon. Add on vitamin c on the side relaxes mind and body too. InshaAllah

Take it easy.. 

Semua perkara atau situasi ada hikmah, itu ke fikiran positif?  Membina pemikiran semua boleh, menghadap cabaran, mengharapkan hikmah disebalik kejadian boleh menukar kehidupan. Berfikiran apa yang mahu, dan ada jalannya, seperti orang muslim, berdoa, mengalir air mata, dalam sujud, diri rasa dalam kawalan, itu lebih afdal. Beberapa strategi untuk mengamalkan ada. Kalau untuk pesan kat anak, sepotong dua doa, zikir fatimah as. Terutama bila mereka nak berteman atas rasa takut masa mereka kecil dulu, ajar satu doa untuk memberanikan diri, untuk kerja sekolah pula, zikir Fatimah as. Kan Fatimah as mengadu penat buat kerja rumah dan mahu pembantu, Rasulullah saw saran zikir Fatimah as. 

Mengisi perut juga dapat menenangkan fikiran. Dulu-dulu masa anak-anak kecil, memastikan mereka kenyang barulah senang kerja. Itulah pagi-pagi, buat makanan yang semua ada hehe. wraps dengan telur dan tomato. Ringkas dan memberi tenaga sehingga tengahari juga, ditambah vitamin C. Vitamin juga merelakskan. InshaAllah.

Moga dipermudahkan urusan, inshaAllah.

Trip for event needs. Here with some kind of event, the state capital is the place, for tradition stuff. Before, after or in-between, there's a break for tea or meal while items hunting. We had coconut pandan rice, peanuts, cucumber, boiled egg and chillie sauce with tamarind juice not vineger around it. We had this meal from a fairly large city, which was a rubber plantation before. This town is now recognise as a city of municipal but not sure, have to check it out the confirmation. I know further in was a palm oil plantation. The issue here is the food that we fed our tummy on that very day. The shop that we stopped by was a kind of kopitiam style yet with a fast food system, order and pay at the counter. We chose the seating place and the food were served to enjoy. 

Local famous meal, can be at morning or afternoon. Bismillah.💕

Love y'all

Perjalanan untuk keperluan majlis. Sinilah terdapat berbagai jenis bahan, fabrik kenduri atau perayaan. Bandar yang merupakan ibu negeri juga pusat kerajaan. Sambil mencari, pasti singgah rehat untuk minum teh atau makan2. Kedai makan berelemen kopitiam menjadi pilihan hari itu. Gaya pengambil order tulis di kertas dan keriau pesanan ke belakang agak pupus di sini. Aturan nasi lemak bungkus di depan hanya kosong tapi mengamit selera, tersila duduk la juga hehe.. Walau kedai kopi teh tarik konsepnya, tapi pesanan dan order di kaunter. suka hati nak duduk meja mana, makanan datang dihidang. terus makan hehe.. 

Kami duduk menikmati nasi lemak pandan yang   boleh di jadikan sarapan atau minum petang. Alhamdulillah💕

Sayang semua ❤️
