Off to Tokyo...........................*again*

By the time this entry was published, the three of us *my hubby, baby SN & I* are on our way to Tokyo. This time around, we will be staying for 4 days and 3 nights. Thanks to my blogging activity, I get to know Murni ; a Kelantanese as well as a mommy to two kawaii kids who lived in Yokohama. We become friends through this virtual world for quiet some time and this is the first time for us to meet each other. Murni's family are so kind to accept the three of us untuk menumpang berteduh menghabiskan beras jepun di rumah nya eheh.


We will be traveling with the famous Japan bullet train a.k.a shinkansen from Fukuoka- Tokyo that has cost us 21, 200 yen (RM 780) one way per person *hohoho, mahal kan?*. The journey will took about 5 hours before arriving to the Shinyokohama Station in Tokyo.


My hubby & I are going to Tokyo for another interview session with a university from Malaysia *again! sigh...; refer: Off on the right foot ~ hopefully, Back in the Fukuoka's saddle*. I really hope this interview is going to a positive outcome just as we wished for ......insya Allah.


Jarak Fukuoka- Tokyo bukannya dekat, lepas tu tiket nak pergi tu bukan murah *hampir sama dengan harga tiket nak balik Malaysia weh*. Di tambah lagi dengan masa yang telah di habiskan semata-mata untuk menghadiri interview ni. Nak2 lagi I terpaksa bawak my little 7 months old baby yang tengah di landa demam + selsema + batuk to travel with me this time. Harap2 berbaloi lah perjalan kami kali ni, doa2 kanlah ye kawan2.


Insya Allah kalau tiada aral melintang patah membujur lalu, we will be back in Fukuoka by the earliest Skymark flight *low cost airline, tiket 9000yen (RM 330) one way per person*. on Wednesday morning.

Pray the best for me & my hubby ~ wish us luck ! ♥

Psssssstttt: ahkak Fid, I mungkin jumpa dengan kwn u i.e Ahkak mek yati utk mkn2 nabe isshou ni. jgn jelesss aaaaa ngeeeeee.

Shafiq-kun's last day of school for the year 2009 (*_*)

When I decided to continue my studies *refer: Mommy & Baby SN goes to school*, the most difficult things for me to do is actually to decide on sending Shafiq Nazhan to a nursery. I stayed with him 24-7 from the day he was born until he reached 4 months old. Leaving him under a day care with a bunch of people that I hardly know, considering the differences on religion as well as culture and not to mention the language; all of these issues used to be lingering inside my head when I first decided to send baby SN to Popora Hoikuen.

Now, 3 months has passes by and I personally feel nurseries isn't a bad idea at all for baby SN; perhaps it's a better idea because he gets to interact with other children; allowing him to socialise & to learn from other. He was acknowledge as "Shafiku-kun" by his teachers and classmates. I was told that he was quite a popular boy in his class *ceeewaaaah, kecik2 dah popular gitu ahaks*. Although he was the youngest child in the nursery, that doesn't stopped baby SN from socializing well with others as language barrier doesn't seem to be major problem for kids, aite? *diorang kan cakap bahasa baby je, ngeeeeeee*.

(kawan2 Shafiq-kun kat Popora Hoikuen)

Last Saturday, 26th December 2009 was the last schooling day for Shafiq Nazhan as for the year 2009. Thus, a small celebration was held at Popora Hoikuen to celebrate the last day of schooling as well as the celebration for a belated Christmas. Though we were a little bit reluctant in a first place to join the occasion, in the end we had decided to attend it as this is the 3rd time that the teacher invited us to join the nursery's weekend activity.

(Ozaki Sensei tengah bagi instructions)

We arrived to the place about an hour after the whole activity started but just at the perfect timing for baby's game. Baby SN & I kena lekatkan bahagian tanduk pada badan rusa. senang jer tu! . eceh, nama pun task untuk baby...takkan sensei nak bagi yang susah pulak kan? ngeeeeee.

(tak sabar2 nak lekat tanduk rusa kat dinding)

The games & activities were arranged by the teachers according to the child's class & age. For children from 2-3years old, they were given task to move a block of square box from point A to point B and to drag a small cart box with them. Beria-ria diorang tarik kotak tu dan lari, chomeyl betul bila budak kecik lari terkedek2 kan? *gerammmm nak cubit2*.

Shafiq-kun was really in good mood and being so energetic that day sampaikan hubby tanya kat baby SN "excited sbb nok tunjuk sekolah Nazhan-chan ko daddy yo?". Hik3x... chomeyl jer conversation anak beranak ni. He even say "hi" in his baby language to other parents by flashing a chomeyl smiles for them.

(eceeh, selamba je pegang tangan okaasan kawan dia)

The event for that day was ended with a gift session from Santa-san. Every kids received a gift from Santa-san (padahal mommy kena bayar 300yen utk hadiah tu huhuhu). Nasib baik baby SN kecik lagi, tak faham apa pun lagi pasal Santa ni. He was interested only to put the gift he received from Santa-san to his mouth and also to grab and pull Santa's beard hahaha.

(Shafiq-kun tengok Santa-san dengan muka pelik)

(beria-ria nak makan 'hadiah' hohoho)

All the parents are giving support by shouting "gambatte" to those little angels while they were performing the task that was given to them. Siap ada baby tu yang atuk & nenek pon datang jugak bagi sokongan.

But then, there are few kids yang parents diorang tak datang , dan lebih menyedihkan is because those kids were send to the nursery for a day care as their parents goes to work on Saturday. Aiseh, rasa sayu pulak bila I tengok budak2 lain parents diorang datang untuk sama2 memeriahkan majlis, tapi parents budak2 tu takde untuk sama2 dengan diorang. *sibuk2 nak emo bagi pihak budak2 tu hohohoho*

(budak2 yang atas riba sensei tu, parents diorang tak datang hari tu)

Somehow, this event reminds me so much on how precious are the moments that I spent with baby SN. It's true that he is still too young to understand or to remember all this, but at least I want to be able to be with him as much as I could.

"Kiss your life. Accept it, just as it is. Today. Now. So that those moments of happiness you're waiting for dont pass you by".

Pssssstttt : baby SN batuk & selsema pulak hari ni. malam tadi tak tidur sangat, risau mommy di buatnya, terus gi beli nasal mucus aspirator for sucking with mouth untuk sedut hingus dia...huhuhu.

1st experience with snow for Baby SN-ow (^-*)

The celebration for birthday of the emperor which falls on last Tuesday, 23rd December 2009 is officially a public holiday in Japan. Hubby & I didn't really have any specific plans to do on that day except to enjoy the extra hour of sleeping time hehe. But then, a wake up call from one of friend i.e Kak Yati has become the perfect reason for us to move our lazy butt and headed to Mitsuse Tunnel at Saga prefecture which is about 45minutes away from our home in Imajuku, Fukuoka.

Saga is bordered with Fukuoka at the southeast and north part of the prefecture. As the northern half of the city contains the Sefuri Mountains, the weather of Saga is a little bit colder than Fukuoka prefecture. Along with the cold weather are a slight downpour of graupel snow, the types which fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing cycles. We went to the place with Bad-Ana's family and Shahrul-Tis's family.

(nice view as the background, aite?)

(baby SN tengah jakun tengok salji)


(baring dgn daddy)

This is my 3rd time experience with snow, hubby's 2nd time but it is definitely the first time experience with snow for our little angel baby SN!. Being only in his 7 month old and be given a chance to watch and play with snow is of course putting baby SN in a position to be considered as one lucky little baby! .

(mommy & daddy seems to be over-excited than baby SN)

Baby SN seem a little bit confused when we put him on the carpet of snow. He glazed around and looking eagerly at those snow with his mata bulat.

(tengok salji dgn muka bingung)

At first, we was worried that baby SN might be feeling cold due to the weather and the snow itself. But, baby SN is being the unusual 'budak panas' as he was able to even held the snow with his bare-hand, amazing isn't it? *orang lain semua pakai glove tebal2, baby SN rilek je pegang salji atas tapak tangan dia huhuhu*.

(tangan si kecik yg kebal, tak pakai glove pon hohoho)

After some time, baby SN seems to enjoy the breathtaking view of the snow and he crawls happily on the snow. He even made several attempt to eat those snow *nasib baik mommy tak bawak mangkuk, kalau tak leh cedok wat makan ABC ngeeeee*.

(merangkak dgn penuh gaya )


(nganga mulut nak ngap salji aaaaaaaaa)

We spent luvly time playing with the snow and cam-whoring at the place. I even wrote baby SN's name on the snow --> Shafiq Nazhan.

While doing that, it reminds me of the time when I used to write hubby's name on the snow back in Munich on Nov 2006. During that time, hubby & I were just friends acknowledging each other as "aku-mung". Little did I realize that the urge feeling in my heart to write his name on the snow is a big "sign" from Allah to tell me that he's the one for me. *Tak terjangkau fikiran kita dengan takdir yang telah Allah tetapkan untuk hambaNya kan? wink wink*.

(mommy & daddy posing bukan main over, baby SN smp malas nak layan ekekeke)

(small step on the snow)

Psssttt: Kena tunggu baby SN dah leh berjalan baru best nak main snow dgn dia instead of duduk bersila atas snow je sekarang ni. Tak sabar nak tengok tapak kaki kecil dia berjalan atas snow, mesti chomeyl ngeeeee.

Selamat Hari "Gatal"

Last night was Christmas eve and as Muslim, I am not supposed to celebrate Christmas as this celebration were meant for Christian. As there was a small church nearby our area, I could hear the Christmas song were played all night long and it somehow trigger my mind down memory lane to a Christmas eve night back in Sevilla, Spain about 2 years ago.

During that time, my classmate and I from the 2nd batch of EuMAS (European Master in Aeronautics & Space) had organized a 10 days road trip to travel with car along the south part of Spain. Since most of them were Christian, they were excited to celebrate Christmas with friends. We had a Christmas eve dinner at one of our friend's house.

As none of us: Malaysian's students is Christian (2 org Islam, 3 org Buddha, 1 org Hindu), we just took the Christmas eve dinner as a usual dinner with an addition of more Spanish tapas i.e more food to eat hehe. The food served on that dinner were Ensaladillarussa, Shrimp, Tortilla, Bacon, Ham and many more. There was also a special exchange gift session where I was given the Real Madrid Muffler by Wani.

(the superb taste of Spanish food)

(Wani & I, the only Muslims for the EuMAS's 2nd batch)

While we were enjoying the dinner, one of our classmate from Vietnam known as SSK had asked us how to say "Merry Christmas" in Malay language. After cracking our head and thinking for some time *sebab dah hampir lupa apa Merry Christmas dalam bahasa melayu*, we told him that it is "Selamat Hari Natal", to answer SSK's question.

He then repeated what we said and told the whole class (with his loud voice) to change the "Merry Christmas" wishes to "Selamat Hari Gatal"..... muahahahaha... wakakakakaka. All of us the Malaysian student laughed out loud every time we hear it, but none of us take any effort to correct them. It's nice though to listen to that "Selamat Hari Gatal" wishes instead of Merry Christmas or Selamat Hari Natal. *Jadi, taklah Wani & I risau nak reply ucapan mereka eheh --> refer : Hukum Mengucapkan Merry Christmas - fatwa Qardhawi*.

(slideshow gambar2 kenangan di Sevilla)

Pssssttt: to the EuMAS 2nd batch Malaysian's a.k.a geng senget : Selamat Hari Gatal, plus congrats to dear Wani on the arrival of your newborn daughter .

Ode to my dear Awin

She was born when I was 13 years old.

She was born after I had 4 little brothers.

I was waiting eagerly to have a baby sister.


She was the only one in my siblings that was born through C-section.

I was really jealous towards her as mama seems to love her more than mama loves me.

I will always teased her badly and sometimes hurt her through my words and action.


I was not jealous anymore towards her on the day when mama passed away, leaving my little sister when she was only 14 years old.

I has to stay strong to make sure that she's strong to face this world without mama, yet she was the one who was stronger than me and taught me so much on how to be strong.


Today, she made me cried.

She scores 8 straight A's in her PMR....8A!.


Despite being the most manja, mengada-ngada, melawa a.k.a jangok, suka berangan a.k.a koya, she have made me proud of her, and I'm sure if ever mama was still around..she'll definitely be proud of her too.

She managed to stay tough after mama left her, facing all the difficulties that she faces everyday and proved that she's as good as her other siblings or in some cases, she's even better than me *I pun dapat 6A jer dulu2 hohoho*.

Dear Awin butuk,
Very well done, dear little sister,
You're special through & through.
You've had success with flying colors
I'm so very proud of you.
You were once a helpless baby,
But, even then I knew,
You had strength and determination,
To always see you through.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose.

Pssstttt: I jeles kat adik I sebab hidung dia mancung dari hidung I, so I selalu cakap I lagi putih dari dia. Sebenarnya I jeles hidung I tak semancung hidung dia ekekekeke.
