Out with the Kids

Pakcik bawa anak-anak saudara pakcik ke lata Kinjang and i got them to wake up very early cause i will only go time orang tak ramai. We didnt bring the smaller kids cause kalau ade budak kecil nanti kene kawal lebih. We all tiba di Lata Kinjang around 8:30 and memang tak de orang so anak-anak saudara pakcik bukan main lagilah posingnye hahahhahah. Pengsan pakcik dibuatnye dengan pose pose bebudak ni hahhahah

Camera anak saudara pakcik boleh tangkap gambar dalam air. Jadi ape lagi budak2 ni pon experiment. Pakcik pot got into the action..... it was really fun.

Yang banyaknye gambar si muin. Tak sangka anak saudara pakcik yang ini suka sangat bergaya.... siap dengan aksi poyo sekali sampai pakcik gelak golek golek

Selamat Hari Raya

This year was the first raya we had to celebrate after my mother's passing. I wasnt really in the mood to celebrate with all the issue that happened at work that dampen my raya mood. Pack all my stuff and went back to my hometown and even had to berbuke dalam kete cause wanted to avoid the trafic. Sedih gak drive balik kampong dengar lagu raye, nasib balik raye sorang kalau tak mesti kene control hahahha

Boy we had a lot to do in one day. Dengan langsir yang tak jahit lagi, rumah nak kemas and i dont have anak anak saudara to push around. It seems everyone lambat balik this raya. Atleast masak was managed by my sister eda. Ogy jahit langsir and i was responsible for the cleaning.

Finally my eldest brother arrive and he took charge in arranging the furniture. It's been a long time since he took part in decorating the house. Zaman muda dulu macam macam dia buat especially gantong kad raye especially.

I bought the material for the langsir from KL and choose purple influence. Summer colour selection in paris muahahahah. My sister tak sempat finish the langsir the sliding door sebab kene balik rumah mertua. I cant ask my other sister sebab dia sibok masak and my sister in law lambat balik sebab baju yang dia jahit untok tempahan tak siap siap lagi. I was not about to tak tukar langsir pintu depan rumah so main jahit ajelahhhh. How hard can it be? As long as people dont look at the detail jahitan cukoplah.... resultnye memang jahitan langsir yang bersimpang sior. Memanglah kalau raye tak kelang kabot tak thrill. Akhirnye berjaye jugak gantong langsir satu pagi.... selamatttt

selepas selesai tolong ape yang dapat tolong kat dapor sah sah kol tiga pagi baru nak tido.

Setelah selesai sembahyang hari raya kami terus menziarahi pusara ibu pakcik. Kami buat bacaan yassin dengan diketuai anak saudara pakcik Ihsan. Pasti bonda pakcik bangga dengan ihsan, cucu yang dibesarkan oleh bunda pakcik.

Balik rumah sessi bermaafan dan bergambar lah....

Masa part bermaafan ni i was not able to control the tears. Cepat cepat finish my turn.

Budak Budak punye turn ape lagi, beratur nak dapat duit raya lah.

Sudah menjadi tradisi sepupu-sepupu pakcik yang berkumpul dirumah belakang akan menziarahi. Mereka pon dah takde ibu dan ayah jadi cuma berkumpul pabila raya atau kenduri kendara saje. Kami buat doa selamat dan jamuan ringkas dengan juadah yang disediakan oleh kakak kakak pakcik. Pastinya rendang, lemang, nasi impit, kuah kacang semuanye ade. Ketupat palas yang tak pernah pernah kami buat pon ade.

Sorrylahhhh anak anak saudara ku, Baju raya pakcik warna putih ye tak dapat nak tolong sasoh pinggan muahahahhaha lariiiiiii.

Setelah selesai segala acara kami pon pergi beraya ke kampong bapa pakcik. Hai makan makan dan makanlah aktivitinye.

Anak saudara pakcik sorang ni berdalik tak nak ikot. Lepas kene leter dengan pakcik baru nak ikot. Mane tak nye raye kan setahun sekali. inilah mase nak korbankan bersama keluarga. Nasiblah budak budak ni nak dengar cakap.

Raya ketiga kami buat kenduri tahlil dan panggil saudara mara datang. Kakak sulung pakcik incharge masak nasi ayam yum yum yum.

Macam biase pakcik jadi tukang kacau aje.

Days In Paris

Upload gambar Barcelona tak habis lagi sebenarnye, tapi since sorang ni yang tak sabar sabar nak tengok images from kampong halamannye "al kononnye" so here were my days in Paris.

I stayed overnight at rumah Shidah cause her houe is just a few train stop from the EuroStar Train Station. Thanks Shida for the warmest hospitality ever....

All were planned perfectly cause i was to wake at four thirty then catch the train at Six and should have ample time. To my suprise, the train station is only opened at Seven. Punye lah pakcik gabra... my train to paris was at seven fifty. I asked the station manager and he assured me that i could be able to chatch it if i was able to catch the transit train. Pakcik pon ape lagi berlari macam kene kejar harimau sbb kene tukar train... alhamdulillah pakcik sempat sampai in time to catch the train to Paris.

Sampai Paris, bought myself a few Croissants and off to my first destination base on the schedule that Shida (Pompuan Excel Spreadsheed as wina called her) prepared.
1St destination Notre Dame. I arrived around noon. Ramai jugak orang kat Paris and cuaca was panas sangat. Dah lah backpack pakcik berat.
Notre Dame was huge tp sayangnye summer and a bit hancin which was a turn off.

Of to next destination... Lourve

Jenohnye pakcik mencari monalisa ni. Do not go to Lourve on Sunday, orang ramai sangat. Kawasan Lourve sangatlah besar and the exibition sangat menarik tapi pakcik tak boleh stay lama. So pakcik menyelit celah beratos orang yang berdiri depan monalisa tua dan tangkap gambar tu and then i was out of there. Kecik aje paintingnye dah lah tengok dari jauhhhh

Arch De Triomphe

View of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero sangat cantik and yang best ade street performer. they were really entertaining. All the visitor enjoyed their performance. It really showed that they really loved performing.

I then checked in to my hotel, changed then went to see the Eiffel Tower. It was a 15 minute walk from the office. I would like to say it was a pleasent one but the bau hancin on the way to eiffel somehow scared some of my brain cell hahhahaha

Finally i was there in front of the EIFFEL TOWER

hmmmmm ooooo Besi Buruk rupenye opsssss (jangan marah....)

Disebabkan pakcik malas nak queue panjang kalau nak naik lift pakcik decided to naik tangga to the 2nd level. Lagi pon lebih murahhhh

Who recomended me to take the stairs should be hang! Macam nak pitam pakcik panjat eiffel tower tu. sudahlah pakcik tak makan tengah hari.... memang rase dah menggeletar dah sampai the 2nd level.

Nasiblah kat tingkat 2 ade orng jual ice cream so i had my sugar rush to cover kelaparan hahahha.

The view from eiffel tower is amazing. it was worth the climb aaaaaaaaa.
Pakcik tak tau plak kalau nak turun boleh naik lift sebenarnye.... pakcik turunlah tangga jugak. balik malaysia kawan pakcik cakap boleh naik lift kalau turun...hahahhaha

Next day pakcik pergi ke Sacre Coeur. The walk allong all the shops to Sacre Coeur was really pleasant. Kedai2 dia cantik and tersuson rape. They are really very creative.

Overall Paris is a beautiful city tapi it is a bit overatedlahhh
