lunch at one of makanan padang restaurant...semua lauk tu tak perlulah nak makan semua...pilih mana nak je...yg lain tu tgk je...the best dishes is ayam bobok....mcm ayam goreng tapi sgt sedap..selama 4 hari kat situ..tu je lauk utama yg i makan....kira sekali makan 2 ketul..lunch 2 ketul, dinner 2 ketul... ayam nye kecik je..so 2 ketul actually half of ayam. total everyday i ate 1 whole spring chicken...hehehehe

after dah settle semua...we proceed to Aur Kuning. tempat ni adalah salah satu syurga membeli belah..segala sulaman. baju kurung, kebaya,telekung..mcm2. semua bersulam dan sgt cantik. i bought 2 for myself..tak tahu bila nak pakai.raya tahun depan lah kot. kebaya bersulam kat sini sgt cantik...sesuai for majlis nikah or tunang. thinking of to get my wedding costume from here if i nak kahwin nanti..(bila ek???)

di kawasan terminal bas aur kuning...

lepas shopping, balik semula ke town. ronda2 pulak dgn kereta kuda/bendi..Rp20,000 sekali round

dah petang dah ni sebenarnye. lepak kat hotel..freshen up.....mlm pergi dinner tempat yg sama dgn lunch..then balik tidur...

ke tempat org buat sulam

kat sini , sulam murah2 and lain dari yg lain

try out tea from coffee leaf...minum dlm tempurung kelapa.

ni pulak...lemang tapai....manis giler. lepas dah rasa semua ni minuman and makanan, we continue our journey ke istana pagar ruyung. tapi istana nye dah musnah terbakar. adalah sisa sikit2...mcm surau dia, tempat beduk..tu jelah. yg lain dah takde.

for today, we had lunch at one of most popular restaurant....Pak Datuk reaturant at Padang...mcm biasa, makan dgn hidangan lauk yg byk,makan apa yg nak makan je....usually total me and my parents makan cuma Rp60,000-Rp80,000 sekali makan..(RM20--RM30) .

sudah seharian menjelajah Pagar Ruyung, PayaKUmbuh, Padang, Maninjau..kami pun pulang ke hotel dan berehat + packing cos 2moro nak pergi Padang pulak. Sebelum bertolak ke Padang pagi tu, we all try nasi KApau.....mcm nasi Padang, byk lauk tapi cara menyedikan lain sikit. depan tu all the lauk, kita pilih, then tukang jual tu cedok kan.

jgn silap pulak..tu my dad, bergaya dgn senduk nasi kapau..;-)

Stay one night kat Padang b4 balik KL.Masa kat Padang, we went to Pantai Malim Kundang. Malim Kundang ni ceritanye mcm Si tanggang, derhaka pada mak dia, kena sumpah jadi batu.

Jadd days out with Mama and Aunty Runiz

Today is such a lovely day. me and my good friend brings her newborn baby to have lunch. first time going out with little hero, kelam kabut jugak.

1. we drove to tesco, find parking, parked the car...Jadd already in car seat... so,his mama bawalah si kecil ni keluar dari kereta. we both try to fix the car seat into the frame...byk kali jugalah try tapi tak menjadi...mmg lawak lah jugak...yelah Mama dia sendiri pun confused..usually his Papa yg buat semua tu. Nasib si little Jadd ni cool je. tapi at last..we figure it out...hehehhe..berpeluh2lah jugak..

2. we had our lunch in Santai..agak bising sikit but still little Jadd cool...

3. we did some shopping and we headed home. nak take off car seat from the frame pulak. ni pun satu hal jugak....try punya try akhirnye dapatlah seperatekan car seat tu from frame...place Jadd safelly in the car...ada lagi satu tak settle..cemana nak fold kan the frame pulak ni...yg ni mmg we all ambil masa agak lama to figure this out. berpeluh lah jugak the end of the day... masa bersusah payah tu, there's a car wait to park..mesti dia ingat we all ni culik anak org..tu yg terkial2 nak uruskan semua...

what ever it is..it was fun taking Jadd out...will do it again later..yes Mama Jadd...;-)

P Ramlee the musical

last saturday i was at istana budaya, watching P ramlee the Musical...PRTM. before that, on wed, i beratur 2 jam just to collect the ticket. dah booked ,cuma nak collect je. begitu sekali sambutannye.
i enjoyed the musical... it was good in its own class. tak boleh nak compare dgn PGL sebab ianya mmg berbeza. yelah satu pasal puteri and dah ada filem untuk di rujuk, satu lagi pasal jalan hidup seseorang . in my opinion, watak saloma lakonan Liza Hanim is the best. she really good and dia berjaya membawa watak itu dgn baik. gaya lakonan nye sewajarnye di puji..we can see there is chemistry btwn her and P Ramlee lakonan sean Ghazi.
P ramlee agak kaku di samping Azizah(datuk siti nurhaliza) and Junaidah(atillia). as an audience i tak dapat rasa pun perasaan cinta kedua wanita ini terhadap p ramlee. lakonan Siti not strong enough di samping sean ghazi. ada ketikanya siti agak kaku.begitu juga dgn Atillia. ini sedikt sebanyak menampilkan ketidak serasian antara wanita ini dgn P ramlee.however, its a good start for newcomer though. mereka memerlukan byk masa utk develop the character of teater player. credit to them as well.tapi bab menyanyi..mmg di ketahui umum betapa hebat nye Datuk SIti.
peranan melissa saila serta kebolehan nye di pentas teater sememangnye telah well known. So , melalui Norizan, melissa sebenarnye membuat comeback. lama tak tgk dia berlakon. the scene with full of anger was good. meremang jugak bulu roma masa norizan mengamuk tu....superb.
Prop yang ditampilkan juga amat menarik....simple tetapi cukup untuk membawa audience ke zaman yang di terjemahkan. takdelah audience tertinggal...semua zaman di ikut sebaiknye..

last but not least...congrats to Tiara kerana sekali lagi berjaya mengangkat standard teater melayu ke tangga yg tinggi. tak mustahil untuk musical ini merantau ke negara luar sepertimana kita pernah menerima kunjungan CATS, FAME, STOMP...mungkin karya kita blm sehebat itu tapi inilah permulaan nya.

got back from raya

selamat hari raya.....raya still on eventhough we are back from kampung.i'm back to work as soon as possible because i'm broke dude.
i celebrate raya in Johor and Singapore. In Johor not much to say since i have some issue with my aunty....
In s'pore...great. Raya in S'pore is so colourfull. every family will choose one color to be their color theme. each and every one in the family will wear same or similar color to each other. You can imagine how colourful the road will be during raya.
Another interesting subject raya in s'pore is their mode of transportation. Other than public transport which is awesome and reliable, they will drive any vehicles as long it can fit most family members.....such as, pick up lorry, van( not a regular van but the one we used to transport stuff not people), they rent a school bus wt driver,the head of trailer, bikes for couple, yhey rent a car for small family. I have experienced myself commute with pick up lorry.

Singaporean love visiting relatives in a big group. the whole siblings will be together on hari raya. thats why i'm broke..they will arrive in a very big number and get ready for duit raya..... ;-) but its fun. As everybody assume Singaporean known as up to date in fashion but sometimes I doubt it..hehhehe. During raya, the best thing is, they will wear baju melayu complete wt sampin,songkok and baju kurung whenever they berjalan raya. doesnt matter its 1st day,2nd day,3rd day or even middle or end of syawal, they love to wear baju melayu complete. it very seldom to see such scenario in KL or malaysia as a whole. usually pagi raya pertama je berbaju melayu, tgh hari dah tukar dah.. raya ke-2 dah baju biasa je.

itulah kemeriahan beraya di singapura...little bit different but still happening.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

once more SELAMAT HARI RAYA AND HAPPY HOLIDAY....YEAHOOOOOO

are you proud to be malaysian?

I am proud to be Malaysian....well, we should be, right? malaysia can be categorised as small country...there is ppl outside familiar with Kuala Lumpur but not Malaysia. know the existence of Penang but not Malaysia.

When I was in Scotland....surrounded by all nation in the world,and I'm the only Malaysian....most question i have to entertain is..where is Malaysia...Hows malaysia looks like..is it modern country...how ppl living in there..I'm quite surprise but finally I get to know that...Is malaysia like Kuala LUmpur....

oh My God....they tot KL is another country....they kind of surprise when I said Kuala Lumpur is a city in Malaysia as a country. However, most of them knows our Tun Dr Mahathir...;-)

Why we should be proud to be Malaysian?
1. we have our very own automotive product PROTON
(eventhough some malaysian wont approve it but export market is acceptable)
2. we have Everest conqurer
3. we have South pole/North pole explorer
4. we have excellant swimmer for ocean not for pool
5. we have world class squash player, Nicol david
6. we have 2nd tallest buiding...used to be tallest before
7. we have country leader who the world give respect to
8. very recently we have our own malaysia brand astronout

this list can be longer as the time goes by.....
