Jalan-jalan ke Batu Gajah, Perak

Assalamualaikum & Hi,

Never underestimate this place. Macam tak ada apa kan? Dulu masa study dekat UTP ada lah sekali dua tersesat kat sini pegi isi minyak kot. Masa bercinta dengan ex-boifren (now husband ku sayang) ada jugak sekali dia bawak pergi Kellie's Castle tu. Tapi tak pernah terfikir Batu Gajah has more to offer!

Let me suggest you this itinerary.

Accommodation
At least spend one night stay dekat Sri Damai Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort. Will have separate entry for this nanti. For now, cukup kalau I recommend you all to bring along your swimming suit, sports attire, Badminton/Tennis racquet, fishing rod ( & its accessories) and of course your golf set! There a lot of recreational activities you can do here. Dah la percuma most of it. Please gooooo! Just like they said "never a dull moment". :-)

Activities
Outside of resort, boleh explore Kellie's Castle, Masjid, temple, dan Taman Herba. We didn't go to Taman Herba. Masjid pun tak sempat. Temple sempat berhenti tepi jalan je nak tangkap gambar. But we went to Kilang Kicap. Lawatan sambil belajar. It was something new!

Dalam resort, abundance of choice! Pilih la aktiviti apa yang nak buat. From fishing to Golfing to paddling to cycling and lots more!

Makan2
This one not too sure. Tapi kedai dekat town banyak. And nearby the resort pun ada jugak stalls boleh beli laksa ke, mee rebus and the like. We had dinner dekat dalam resort, sedap. Harga macam fine dining lah kalau dekat KL/Subang ni kan.

p/s: If you want to have a holiday di suatu tempat yang tenang, relaxing, tak crowded, privileged, harga mampu milik..... I'd suggest you go here. Insya Allah you will find it worth the money and time spent.

Merancang kejutan harijadi

Assalamualaikum and Hi,

Ni kira #throwback #balingbelakang lah sebab the actual event was on February. Sorry kalau title tu misleading. Hehehhe..Tapi siapa tahu this could help you in planning surprise birthday cake blow-out the candles for your loved ones. Nak sebut birthday party, what we did the other day tak layak dipanggil party pun. So, I settled with tiup lilin kek harijadi sudah!

This was for my husband. Birthday dia bulan lepas on 25th. Hari Rabu, I still remember sebab kids wearing baju sukan setiap hari Rabu and that day lepas sekolah terus bawak diorang pergi cari helium balloon.

One thing about merancang/planning...at least kena lah ada dalam fikiran apa yang kita nak buat. Semua tu saling berkait dengan berapa bajet $$ yang ada, masa dan juga siapa yang akan ada sama (nak tolong sebelum, semasa dan selepas). It didn't take me long to finalize my plan sebab simple je pun.

Bajet? Ciput. I need helium balloon, cake, candle, birthday card and that's it.
Masa? 2-3 hours (from the time fetch the kids at 5pm till Tuan Besar sampai rumah around 7 or 8pm), melampau kan? patutnya dah lama boleh fikir and plan something better. Tapi I'm not good in giving surprise. Plus, mana pernah surprise-surprise seumur hidup ni?
Siapa? Just me and the boys

So mana nak cari helium balloon, cake, candle, birthday card? Hahahha..baru berapa item nak kena cari rasa hura hara dah ni. It has to be from somewhere yang berdekatan sahaja. Kalau jauh nanti makan masa pulak kan. For sure cake not Secret Recipe (kan orang kata before GST lagi dah ada additional charges. Tak bajet-friendly gitu). So cake beli dekat Berry's Putra Heights. Senang! Lagipun I ingat dia ada cakap, "next time kita boleh beli kek dekat sini. Murah banding secret recipe". Ting! Confirm the right choice. After all, he didn't really appreciate cake. Me and kids pun biasa2 je. Well, kek jadi macam prop je nanti. :P

Birthday card? Well easy peasy lemon squeezy. Buat sendiri je lah! Wakakakka. I need to practise using china ink and the caligraphy brush. Comot-comot sikit pun tak pe. Yang penting ikhlas.

Tadaaaaaaa!

Apasal bergelap? Let's save that for later. Nak citer pasal pergi cari helium balloon. Ya Allah, sampai ke new mall Gamuda Walk kat Kota Kemuning sana mencari. I know got one shop dekat USJ Taipan tapi nanti sure tak ada parking. Leaving kids in the car is not a wise option. So tak pe lah jauh sikit. Lepas sekolah terus ke sana. Kedai baru je bukak. Nama kedai Awesome Party Shop.

So we bought birthday candles RM12.90 (dia macam bunga api bila pasang), helium balloon x 2 RM9 and Foil balloon RM18.90. Balik tu dalam kereta Adam dah siap2 plan dah macam mana nanti nak surprise daddy. Nak kena hias belon, tutup lampu bagi gelap and etc. I said to him, hias belon? belon pun 3 ketul je kot!! :p Hahahhaha... kelakar lah diorang ni.

Dah sampai rumah, tak sempat nak rehat asyik tanya kat mana nak letak belon tu cantik? Kek kat mana, birthday card mana? ohoiiii. sabaq sat! Still got time. Lambat lagi Dedi nak sampai.

Bila Dedi sampaiiiiiii.... kelam kabut tutup lampu. Adam offered himself to 'alihkan perhatian' dedi ...dia kata..mami would need time nak pasang lilin. Ye laaaaaaa cari matches tak jumpa! Pulak tu lupa tutup kipas angin, everytime nyala api je padam. Tsk tsk.

and finally! Dedi came in and all of us sang a happy birthday song. Tiup lilin, hugs and kisses. Nampak gambar tu Mami panjat kerusi tau!

I hope you like it Dedi! We love ya.

Idea Jalan-jalan cuti sekolah: Ultraman LIVE in Genting 2015

Assalamualaikum and Hi,

So where have you all been bawak anak-anak cuti sekolah ni? We started off with a trip to Genting, to surprise them with a treat to watch Ultraman LIVE in Genting 2015.

Go and check the website for online booking of the tickets. Please, kalau sesiapa teringin nak dapat Kids Ultraman projector watch buy the VIP ticket with no discount. Maksud nya bayar harga RM88. We bought via phone booking dapat discounted price for VIP ticket, RM79 per ticket. Tapi, sampai dekat booth nak ambik tiket were told tak eligible to get the watches. Pity the kids. Lucky they didn't know about it. So diam kan saja lah.

Please expect ramaiiiiii orang dan kena beratur and etc. So if your kids or even yourself not so tolerable with that kind of situation, sila lepak2 dulu tak payah ikut sama nak berebut masuk dalam hall. Your tickets already have designated seat number. Kalau dapat duduk depan best. Tengah2 pun best. The VIP seats that we got takde lah exclusive pun. Tersorok ke tepi sikit. But easy access to aisle nak pegi toilet.

Oh yeah, if you go in early actually ada advantage. Sebab lebih kurang 40 minutes before the show, ada sesi bergambar dengan Ultraman. Yes, kena beratur berebut lagi. RM35 per picture perfamily/person. Sediakan duit! We took two pics. OK not bad the quality of the picture and frame. Remember to pose macam Ultraman with the hand gesture and everything. We were among the earliest (I lah berebut beratur), guess the crew forgot to mention about the posing tips. Apa punya choi la crew. Lepas turn we all, we started to see they actually taught audience macam mana nak bergambar dengan Ultraman. Baru la betul!

OK, so bila the show started.... lagi ramai crew to monitor audiences yang tak dengar kata. Nak rekod video jugak. Nak berdiri berjalan ke sana ke mari. Tak boleh! No. No!

Overall, yeah we did enjoy the 1 hour show. The kids obviously excited. Semua Ultraman diorang hafal! Ultraman Zero tu anak Ultraman Seven lah. bla bla bla..Bila the emcee (apa tah nama dia) cakap we need to call for Ultraman, raise your hand and say 'Ultraman'! Dah semuaaaaaaa in chorus buat. Macam kena sampuk je. Daddy pun samaaaaaaa.

Let see some of the pics taken.
