Perfect Mom

Are U? Am I? entah laa. If u ask me, I don't think a perfect mom exists... sapa yg rasa dirinya ibu yg sempurna? angkat tangan.

What is the definition of a perfect mom? Yg bagi segala2nya kt anak2 ke? yg x pernah pukui atau marah anak ke? yg menunaikan segala permintaan anak ker?

How do u know if that person is a perfect mom? Sebab anak2 dia semua baik2, dengar cakap, hormat org ? Sebab x penah dengar dia merungut pasal apa pun berkaitan dgn anak2? These serve to further prove my point yg tak mungkin ada ibu yg sempurna...in terms of definition and criteria pun we don't know which one is right kan... but a lot have a very high ambition to become one..myself included...huhuhu...

Am I a bad mom?

I don't know about others but sometimes i wonder...


am i a bad mom when sometimes i feel like leaving everything behind and just go do what ever i wanted to do

am i a bad mom when sometimes i feel like what i do is merely a job and i can't wait for it to end...

am i a bad mom when sometimes i feel like screaming to the kids when they don't listen...

am i a bad mom when sometimes i don't feel like hugging my kids...

am i a bad mom when sometimes i don't feel like listening to their rambles...

am i a bad mom when sometimes i feel at peace when the kids go out with their father and leave me alone at home.

but...

 i do feel touched when they say sorry for every mistakes they made

i do feel touched when i see a hand made card for every occasions

i do feel like crying when they are being scolded by their father

i do feel like hitting other kids when i see them treat my kids badly...

i do feel like taking their place when they are hurt or sick

i do feel proud when others praised them

so where does that leaves me? .....

Anak2 Adalah Rezeki

Since now is the raining season... we couldn't go out much. My daughter finished her final exams 2 weeks ago and we've been planning to take her to Stam park in BDC for a splish splash but it rained so we have to wait for another weekend.

I don't write much about other things besides the places that we've been to but this time i just feel like sharing something with my readers...

Big mistake

Kepada yg baru jejak kaki ke blog ni and trus sampai ke post ni anda kena tengok 3 post sebelum ini kerana ini ada lah sambungan daripada post2 sebelum ni.

Balik jer dari dinner atas boat, semua tido macam pengsan. The next day we had to head back to Kuching but still have time to stop at a few places...

Lagi lagi Pontianak

Lepas kitorang lepak2 jap... petang sikit kitorang kluar lagi jln2..

This is the bazaar... mcm kat Jln TAR, mcm kat Mutrah souq Muscat, mcm kat Serikin... Name of this place is Pasar Sudirman but nothing to do with the singer. 

Pontianak lagi ....

Tepaksa la buat mcm ni... bnyak tul gambo yg teman ambik, tempat yg teman pegi, ceghite yg teman nak kabo, hehehe so kite sambung jer la ye...

Pontianak II

Luckily mr hubby has a friend who stays in Pontianak so he gave us the direction and a very accurate one too. So we didn't have problems finding our way because they didn't have enough signs we could rely on...

Here are some of the things we saw throughout our journey of about 250km from Kuching to Pontianak..

Pontianak Kalimantan Barat Indonesia

It's been a while. It's not because I don't have anything to write about. I have loads of things in my mind that i want to share. The problem is always putting my thoughts into words... my fingers can't seem to keep up with the   pouring ideas.... lol..

Taman Sahabat (Friendship Park)

We went here a week after Raya holidays. This park is situated at Jalan Song, Kuching. It was completed in 2005  and officially opened to public since May 2006. This unique park is a product of a close relationship between Kuching City and Kunming City of China. A few facilities here were given by the various Chinese agencies as symbols of friendship between China and Malaysia.

Eid Mubarak

N3 ini mungkin n3 terakhir sebelum umat Islam seluruh dunia menyambut Aidilfitri. Memandangkan kami sudah berada di kampung, masa untuk mengadap komputer mengupdate blog ni agak terhad. So senang cerita saya ishtiharkan cuti untuk diri sendiri daripada mengupdate blog selama seminggu... yahuuuu!!!

Aktiviti santai II

Ini lagi satu aktiviti santai kami sekeluarga.... this activity started getting more frequent after Atiqah was born. Apa la tu ye?... hihihi pegi parks....tu jer laaaa. Sebelum Atiqah lahir ada jugak kami pegi jalan2 ambik angin kat park ala2 dating la jugak kan. Tapi tu jer la aktiviti kalau 2 grown people pegi park, jalan2, sembang2.... takkan nak main kejar2 plak dua org, kang org ingat ada shooting filem hindusatan plak.. Nak main2 kat buaian lagi la x sesuai kann. That's why masa berdua xde la kerap sangat pegi dating kt taman2 ni. Bila dah ada princess kecik tu baru la siok g park.

Aktiviti santai I

Rupanya kami ni dari dulu dah ada aktiviti santai hujung minggu yg menjadi aktiviti wajib kami sekeluarga, we just didn't realize it at that time. Masa tu xde la declare "ok ni kira aktiviti mingguan kita k" masa tu just jomm ja, asal weekend jer sambil bekfes tu tetiba, jom kita g mandi laut...jommm...

Favourite pic in Qurrayat

This pic was taken when i was 6 months preggy with my first child, and the date on the pic was right. When I started this blog i never asked if mr.hubby wanted his pic to be posted in my blog, i just assumed that he didn't want to be recognize. When he finally read my blog he asked "nape tak de pun gamba saya" I was like ha? awak x kisah ker kalau letak gamba awak? Rupanya gila glamer gak laki aku hahahaha. I have always been camera shy and hated almost all my pics... kalau fotogenik xpe... ini adusss ade jer benda yg tak kena. This is one of many pictures that i like, apart from me looking normal in this pic, the background is soooo perfect, beautiful.

Bibir merah bak delima merkah

ehsan google

           

Hahaha sorry ye kalau ramai yg tertipu dgn title entry kali ni. Bukan niat saja2 nak tipu, just that i wanted a catchy title, one that makes u wonder and eventually read what it's about. Pasal tips make up ker or ada sesapa ker yg bibirnya merah perfect gitu, atau tak de kena mengena langsung dgn bibir...justin bibir pun takde sangkut paut...

Set back

                                                           

One of the down side of writing a blog about interesting places is, if u don't go anywhere there's nothing to write about. That's what's happening to me rite now... So, do i need to have other options to write about?..hhhmmmm i've already ruled out food... what else is there to talk about... food is the only other thing i'm crazy about..besides jalan2.

Puasa di Oman

 Sedar tak sedar dah masuk minggu ke 2  kita berpuasa, alhamdulillah my daughter is still fasting. Teringat plak masa puasa kt Oman dulu. Kat sana meriahnya lain... eventhough there's no pasar Ramadhan (param...hehe i just learned this term recently) sapa lah yg duk come up with such term, there's iftar invites. Kat oman dulu time puasa, masa mula2 kat sana, weekend jer memang penuh dgn jemputan iftar. After that weekdays pun ada jemputan iftar. Ada tu yg siap book awai2  nak buat iftar supaya x clash. Kadang2 serba salah bila dapat 2 invitations sekali...but I always said to mr.hubby utamakan la jemputan yg pertama kita dapat, yg kedua tu tgk la mcm mana, kalau dekat and sempat, singgah kejap pun jadi la.

Oman vs Dubai

Yeah right! i'm talking about my preferences to Oman rather than Dubai. I know a lot of people knows Dubai more than Oman and feels like it would be great if they got a chance to go to Dubai. But that's only because they don't know Oman like I do. Well then again it is a subjective matter when we deal
 with likes and dislikes depending on the person's whole life actually.

Not just a desert

When talking about Arabic nations, people will automatically associates them with camels and deserts. There's actually more to it and i got to see this myself.

Kabuli rice

When i first started this blog, i just wanted to share all the places that we've explored while staying at a certain place. I did think of including top spot eating places but after much thought, i decided not to do that. My reason is simple, food to me is subjective, a dish might be delicious to me tapi biasa2 ja to others. I dont want people to say "apa laa minah ni dlm blog kata sedap gila la best la tapi aku rasa biasa ja... kat **** lagi sedap" I'm not choosy when it comes to food... takat kurang sikit2 tu tak de hal lah. Unless betui2 tawaq hebiaq ( bak kata org kampung saya tasteless) then i'll say x sedap... apart from that saya bedal jer... Some people have sensitive taste bud, tau aje kurang asam la, kurang manis la, telebih masin la, terlebih masak la, so to avoid clash i think it's better not to go there...

Marhaban Ya Ramadhan

Salam Ramadhan to all readers, walaupun dah nak masuk hari ke-3 i don't think it's too late to wish all muslim readers Ramadhan kareem.

Sinar Serapi Eco Theme Park

We went to a place where we usually go during weekends...Since we've gone to almost all the must go and see places in Kuching, we found ourselves cooped up at home most weekends. Mr. hubby wanted to fill the weekends with family activities, so after going to several places we've decided on several nice places where we can do our family activities..When we say family activities sebenarnya more for the kids mcm swimming or main2 kt padang ker...  I personally wanted to go to a shooting range and learn how to shoot ....but that's definitely not for kids... at least not for now...

Anak yg berani

Warning! This is not for the faint of heart... I can already faintly hear what people are going to say when they see this..

First of all this was taken during the first few months we arrived here. It was during a carnival held by TM  if i'm not mistaken.. It was held at Merdeka field in front of Merdeka Palace hotel. All the telecommunications companies held exhibitions here.

We never told her to go and touch this snake... but when we got there and these two men asked if we wanted to touch the snake, she immediately went forward... just like what happened at zoo Melaka nearly 2 years ago during the elephant show..she immediately volunteer herself for the show. She's held various kind of animals through out her lifetime.. from the cuddly rabbit or furry cat to lizards and snake.

She didn't get it from me for sure. That leaves her father i guess. There might also be other reasons that contributed to her curiousness. Having spent her early years abroad, went to school with foreigners and a little bit of encouragement from us also helps i guess.

What ever the reasons are.. we never want her to change. We just pray for the best for her.

Kampung Budaya Sarawak (Sarawak Cultural Village)

This is another main attraction in Kuching and definitely a must go n see. Unlike the Sarawak river cruise, this is highly recommended and have to be in the must see list when you first visit Sarawak.

Memori silam II

Entah kenapa la macam dipanggil2 jer utk masuk kan n3 ni mlm ni jugak, tak nyempat2, padahal dah brapa kali yawning... oh no! am i addicted to blogging? no! no!... jgn la terkena virus ni...bahaya ni... my life is already busy as it is... maklumlah i'm all in one lady, cleaner..saya, driver... saya, cook (bukan cooker ye)... saya, entertainer...saya, problem solver..saya, peace keeper..saya.... apa saja la jawatan yg ada kt dunia ni semuanya saya nk kena buat .... but in smaller scale laaa coz kt dlm umah ni jer.... sebab tu la jgn tambah lagi addiction ni... or else my other duties might suffer from my neglect.... Mintak2 jgn la ye...

Memori silam

 Ni semua gara2 duk mencari gambar orang utan tadi la ni..sekali stumble upon gambar2 lama masa kat Oman.. huhuhu i miss Oman... Bila tengok gambar2 lama ni segalanya menerjah kembali, saat2 manis, gumbira, suka duka, tension, penat, rasa sebak la plak. Bukan apa, masa tu I was still young.... baru kawin n expecting our first baby dah kena duduk jauh dari family... kat mana la nak bergantung, nak mengadu, nak bertanya. Aik zaman moden gini ada internet tepon bebagai pun susah ker? memang boleh berhubung dgn family tapi x sama kan.. dah duduk jauh beribu batu takkan boleh nak cakap tepon berjam2... mau gaji abis bayar bil tepon jer kan...

Orang Utan

Yang ni memang masuk kategori must go n see. Kalau sesapa datang Srawak tak tgk kawan yg sorang ni, kecik ati dia. For us it's different coz we live here... first time tgk orang utan ni was definitely an experience... tapi bila dah beberapa kali pegi sebab bawak org.... rasanya orang utan tu pun menyampah gak tgk muka kitorang... dlm hati dia mesti kata... lagi2 orang ni...xde ke org lain nak datang tgk aku... dato ct ke, faizal tahir ke? noh hujan ker? hihihi

Why...

Yesterday sebenarnya nak masukan n3 pasal satu lagi tempat yg menarik n considered as a must go kalau dtg Kuching ni. Tapi dah di tentukan Allah semlm dari pagi sampai mlm muntah2 n cirit birit. Nak menambahkan lagi ke-frust-an JJP smlm jugak la besday insan tersayang. Dah jadi terbalik laa pulak ingat kan nak g la mkn2 special ker. sudahnya besday boy yg kena kuar g beli lunch n dinner utk semua...

Sarawak River Cruise

Asyik masuk hutan jer... y not this time kita g river cruise lak... wahhh river cruise... macam kelassss jer kan...  well u decide for yourself after reading this n3...

Sarawak river cruise is considered as one of the main attraction in Kuching. The boat is boarded from a jetty at the waterfront. The cruise will take u along the Sarawak river where u can see the Sarawak DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) building, Kg Boyan, the fishing boats and if u are lucky enough u will be able to cruise along the resident of the Sarawak Chief Minister...Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib bin Mahmud... which was exactly what happen to us when we went on this cruise.

Taman Negara Bako

        dang!! baju ni lagi.... oppsss wait i forgot this is my outing uniform.... i wear this whenever i go out

Taman negara lagi.... well i've mentioned before there are quite a number of national parks in Sarawak. This is another one of them. To those who love nature and outdoor things  this entry is definitely for u and if i do this right, you might even get excited and starts looking for deals and promotional flights to Kuching... (hahaha dream on missy~talking to myself)

Rafflesia

Tgk tittle jer dah boleh agak entry ni pasal apa kan...before ni semua org tahu kat Sabah jer boleh jumpa bunga gergasi ni. Now we can also find Rafflesia in Kuching. It is in one of the National Parks in Sarawak ni specifically     in Taman Negara Gunung Gading.

This is so embarrassing. the pic was taken before i decided to start blogging.... note to self next time no need to be in the pic....

Pesta Benak, Batang Lupar Sri Aman

A couple of weeks ago we went to Sri Aman to watch tidal bore or locally refers to as benak. Apa benda la benak tu...the simplest explanation is there's wave in the river n u can actually surf macam surfing kt laut tu. The more scientific explanation is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave or waves of water that travel up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current (credit to en.wikipedia).

Kuching

Ok then, introduction dah sattle... now it's time to get serious...jeng jeng jeng suspen jer kan.. I know mesti ada yg kompius ngan entry ni kan.. kan? kan? ye lar last entry citer pasal duduk Oman... tetiba sampai srawak plak... begini ceritanya...

Memory lane

   Ok so last time I was talking about history, how this blog came about. Now I'll be going down the memory lane, flash back 8 years ago. When I was soooo young, newly wed n preggy with my first child, my lovely daughter Atiqah. That's when my journey started. My husband was posted to Muscat, Oman, a beautiful country neighboring the UAE ( United Arab Emirates) senang citer dekat dgn Dubai..

Asal usul kewujudan blog ini

I never really know when i started to enjoy travelling. Masa kecik-kecik dulu biasa la ikut mak & ayah g jalan2, but not like travel around the world ... just dlm Malaysia...paling jauh pun pegi buat umrah in 2007, second paling jauh is Medan and that was like in the late 80's. Tu jer laaa.That time i really enjoyed myself... I dont think I can recall any unpleasant experience during those trips. Maybe because of that...I can say that I like to travel.

Tak serik-serik

Memang cari nahas betul la. This is my second attempt at blogging. Blog yg first tu... hidup segan mati x mau... entah la...blogging is not my cup of tea kot. I'm so jealous ngan all bloggers out there, mayb they were born with 'it' by 'it' i mean the talent of blogging. That's my first diagnose. Secondly, i think because i'm totally illiterate when it comes to blogging... i dont even know how to change the settings of my blog.. and the linggo... adusss wtf is feed?? allow blog feed? yg aku tau feed to bagi makan.... huhuhu... there's a lot i have to learn. Bila umur dah nak masuk Asar ni memang la agak slow.... tapi x pa dgn semangat yg biasa2 moga2 blog kali ni terus bernafas la...
