Playtime!!!

I took 2 days leave on 30th and 31st Dec. Just need to rejuvenate and be prepared for New Year. So what did we do?

28th December

Got an invite from my cuz, Adha from Bandar Tun Hussein Onn. His 2 sons celebrated their birthday on the 25th (Ayiesh - 1st) and 28th (Ammar - 3rd). The party started at 4.30pm but as usual Adam tido bila dah petang. So we had to wait till our Prince woke up at 4.30pm. Hem tak boleh keluar rumah yet coz 'tuan besar' need to feed his tummy and mandi dulu. Aiyaaa Adam kalau makan memang take his own sweet time. Almost 5.30pm baru la we all gerak. Sampai sana cake semua dah potong so tak sempat la nak take any pictures of Adam with Ayiesh. And tak sempat juga nak tunjuk Adam how people celebrated their birthdays. Lately ni Bibik dah prepare Adam nak celebrate birthday. Once he listened to anyone singing 'Happy Birthday' he will clap his hands and buat2 muka malu dia.. perasan la anak Mummy ni.

Anyway ni ada gambar Adam and Ayiesh masa cukur jambul depa in June lalu. Buat together at Tok Mama and Tok Papa's house kat BP. (My parents la ni) Rambut Adam yang kembang setaman and lebat ni memang his hair since birth. Mummy lupa siapkan baju melayu so kena la anak Mummy guna baju Falling for You time potong jambut. Sorry Adam.

29th December (Maal Hijrah)

My parents and my family received an invitation from our family friend Muhammad to his wedding reception at Teluk Intan. Majlis sambut menantu. Yusri (my hubby aiya kekadang I guna panggilan Bi or Ayah) decided not to tag along. As usual 'not his cup of tea'. Dah terlanjur ke Teluk Intan my parents and I decided to merayap till Penang to visit my younger brother (Kemal@Abang) and family. This is why I took the 2 days leave. Cuti-cuti Malaysia. Abang booked 2 rooms at Taiping. Saja la dia and Fiza (his wife) nak go down the memory lane ingat cite zaman they all sekolah kat MRSM Taiping la kot. We all ok je. Best gak singgah Taiping.

Back to the wedding. My parents fetch Adam, Bibik and I from TTDI at about 11am. Hem as usual barang Adam je dah penuh satu kereta. Pening ni baru anak sorang. He has his own bag for clothes, his bakul for all his food, his backpack for all his day supplies (change of clites, nappies, wipes, toiletries etc.), his fav rocker, his bag of toys and books, a half bag of super jumbo mamy poko nappies etc. Nasib baik la muat kereta Tok Mama and Tok Papa. The adults bawa beg sorang satu je.

We arrived at the wedding reception at the same time the pengantin arrived at the hall. Heehhhehee.. Sampai we all terus makan. Jadi macam Adam la. Member dah mcm ulat in the car coz dah lapar. Nice juga concept the wedding. The half front of the dewan was blocked and reserved for the 'protocol' wedding reception (ie. with fixed agenda mcm kat hotel tu). The other half of the dewan was meant for kampung style malay wedding whereby tetamu datang, makan, jumpa family pengantin then balik. Have to admit that we were supposed to join the first half but since we were late we all dok diam-diam je kat belakang. Lagipun dah lapar so terus la ngap. Wedding tu sedia nasi hujan panas. First time I tengok. Serious tak penah jumpa kat Johor or KL. Lepas makan since Abang and family dah called from Taiping, we left the wedding. Tak sempat jumpa pengantin pun but sempat la jumpa Mak Pengantin.

Round jap kat bandar Telur Intan. Hem amazed gak tgk leaning tower of Teluk Intan but tak sempat amik gambar la. So I bagi link. Pi la tgk sendiri. Memang menarik the tower. Nampak sgt antik.

Almost nak sampai exit Taiping tu ada accident. Tak teruk pun just case minor. As usual Malaysian will slow down their cars when they saw accident cases but bukan nak tolong takat nak tengok je. Hem jam panjang but lepas area kereta bercium tu terus clear. So agak petang jugak la we arrived at Kamalodge, Bukit Larut. Adam sampai je terus cari bubur nasi la.Picture attached ni his photo and bibik while the other one is the view from our chalet. Best gak tempat ni pasal kat kaki Bukit Larut.

Alamak dah 9pm la... Kena mandi. Adam nak tido dah sat lagi. Kalau dah tido and Mummy tak peluk he will bangun again. So to be continued with our story on the 30th and 31st esok kot. Ciao for now.

Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan is a town located in the state of Perak in Malaysia. It is the largest town in Hilir Perak district and third largest town in the state of Perak with an estimated population of around 110,000.

In the early days, the town was known as Teluk Mak Intan, after a female Mandailing trader. It was here that the Perak rulers held court from 1528 until Kuala Kangsar became the royal town in 1877 [1].

During the British protectorate era, the named was changed to Teluk Anson (Anson Bay), in honour of a British Officer and last Lieutenant-Governor of Penang, Major-General Sir Archibald Edward Harbord Anson who drew the plan of the modern township in 1882.

In 1982 during the centenary of the town's establishment, the name was changed again to Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay) by the Sultan of Perak. The town has a number of colonial buildings and Chinese shophouses together with modern buildings and a few shopping complexes.
