we tend to abandon the blog once all the update could be done via facebook. fb is the in-thing now where we could get connected to our friends and families. Now with having bb in your hands u could always update on the move. yes people are buying technology. to recall back, i started to use cellphone in my first year job.
anyway, once u abroad it's kinda hard to be back unless u r forced to at least too bad to be true for me. I keep on saying to finish off till the year end and decide to be back. the fact is, i'm still alive and kicking in this foreign land.
We just moved to a new place and pretty happy to be here for the last 2 days :P
will plan for next vacation later. plan to be back during raya too. perhaps before that, we'll travel somewhere.
i would like to wish happy new year to all my friends and families Happy twenty ten !!

safely back in DOH - fr istanbul
Now i have something to jot down here. nothing much. just simply to update that we just safely back in doha from our short vacation to istanbul. 5D4N was not enough to cover the whole istanbul. Our free and easy trip seemed to be hectic, and we almost canceled bospharus trip due to ameerah's condition. she had a very bad fever and me and mel took turn to check on her. paracetamol for every 4 hours in 12 hours time seemed did not bring down her body temperature. after checking with the reception the nearest clinic in town that could speak english, ameerah was getting better. we made a consencus decision for bosphorus trip and alhamdulillah we made it. The rest of the trips, i believe Mel will update it later in her FB. check it out ;-)
I would say, Istanbul is really a great city to visit which u'll never regret it. One thing u probably didn't like when it comes to bargain on the price of taxi fare or things that u wanted to buy at the bazaar. They might be sarcastic with their words towards you ;-)
although i reminded mel that we would go there for sight-seeing but as usual, we would not be able to change back the money that we bought it before :P all gone until at the very last minute ..
..lupa plak.. we went there with asyraf + zura and their 2 lovely kids.

ramadan kareem
Dah separuh ramadahan. secara jujurnya terawikh tahun ini begitu hancur sekali.
apa aku nak update tak tahu. will try to write something lah. here we go.
i'm alone in doha for now. mel and ameerah in KL. they followed me back when i was having training in KL before.
the schedule was very tight and i could't step my foot at KLCC at all. Since my training was in bandar utama and staying at one world hotel, i went to my brother's place a couple of times. after all his house just on the crossing of the main road.
I didn't manage to pay a visit to my uncle's place :-) so i just asked mel to go there with ameerah a week after. Well, my wife could go to my family place without me but NOT another way around hehe.
So back to doha alone, and ramadahan began. I realized that i have been spending my puasa abroad since 2005. back in KL, in 2005 and 2006 i was in jakarta and hongkong. 2007 spent a week in mekah and the rest in doha. AND never complete my 30 days (is it 29 or 30)? with Mel around. My wife love to leave me during Ramadan. hehe. For some very good reason, we have to be apart. For instance for this year. they followed me back for training and it happened to be close to ramadan, and we plan to have raya in malaysia. what's the point of spending unnecessary flight ticket just to be in doha for 3 weeks right. atok and nenek ampang could spend more time with Ameerah too. well ameerah just back to grik for 2 days ;-). To make it fair, we'll be spending our raya at Padang Jeri. That's how my fair rules work hehe. don't be so petty lah. when it comes to marriage there must be give and take. 60 for u 40 for wife oso OK (or vice versa) as long as mutually agreed by both hehe. don't be so rigid to have 50-50 all the time.
puasa in doha bujang2 ni oklah. dah ada advance plan. sometimes go to friend's house or having iftar together with all close friends at the restaurant. the bad thing here, no cheap restaurant that could fit yr appetite or sedap your tekak. Holiday villa just started their operation in doha since may. and they provide iftar buffet in malaysian way. the price a bit pricey lah jugak 130 each. the variety not so much lah compared to malaysian hotel. tapi you are no longer young that so excited to fill up all edible foods inside your tummy. CANNOT GO anymore!! remember the old days when u started your first job and u were invited to free buffet at any hotel and yr stomach was gonna bloat...mcm nak pecah perut makan. today nak makan mana? it looks like we gonna have it at penderossa. the price is very reasonable. 50 satu kepala. i guess that's the cheapest in doha. and someone has to be the macai to book the place. reserve by call will not help. so the macai has to be there early, seat and wait for all the gangs. org bujang selalu diarah jadi macai. tapi hari ni aku malas hahaha.
nak mandi lah

ameerah is on solid food now...
a quick update. we went to dubai last weekend. mel kept on pushing me to be there. she wanted to shop for ameerah and of course for her as well. I intended not to buy any for myself but i bought a few working shirt. almost colateral damage after heavenly shopping in doha last month :P.
Back to doha, after recalculating, i kept on nagging at mel and reminding her not ask any special gift for anniversary. Oh well she knew me very well when I got hot due to money, she just kept quite or obliged to what i said :P. Then Ameerah was ready for solid food. so she offered to use her 'hidden' money to buy the hand blender and comforting me by buying a juice maker :P. I was happy. but thinking it back, she could comfort me by giving me a juice maker? very strange indeed. From that day, i keep on buying fruits and starts blending anything. Just name it. mango smoothie, ice blended horlick, mango + kiwi smoothie.. anything. my neighbour must not be happy at night now listening to the blending tune.
I'm not saying i'm stingy or running out of money. But i'm quite particular in savings. anything less than my target will change my mood instantly.
For the past few weeks, i keep on thinking of going home for good. Mel prefers not to give any more input and the best she could say "i'm OK if u want to be back, and back to my work". and she starts thinking of decorating Ameerah's room. I know I have to make a pause and thinking it wisely again. We know the grass always looks greener on the other side. Once we step on it, the look could be another way around. That's normal and that's human. My immediate boss gave me a call and confirm that i'll starting doing a new thing from next week. So i decided to see what's gonna happen in a few weeks time. After all only a few monts left before year end. Times flies so fast isn't it?
Ok fine, i should be thankful what i have now. Indeed I am. But it's a human nature to treasure a new thing that has been hunting for years.
And the fact is i'm no longer happy what i am doing now.
running out of idea for now.. will update more soon ;-)

Limas
most ppl call it tepung pelita. but our family call it limas. we decided to give a try so mel asked the recipe from Kakak and i prepared the "sampan" keh keh keh.
not bad for 1st attempt. the taste quite nice but the texture a bit hard. we'll try again tomorrow.
i'm quite good though in making the sampan compared to mel
1st row done by me and second row.. who else. mommy did it. keh keh keh
no worries mommy. i believe after a few hands on, u'll beat Kakak soon...
go mommy go!!
this kuih reminded me my late mom. this is my fav besides ikan bilis and telur when i was a kid. the day where i never shared glass/cup or plate with anybody. keh keh keh.

New update ngeh ngeh ngeh
It has been a while. a couple of times writing a few notes but did not able to upload or i purposely deleted it. I checked the shoutbox, could see the message from cik kim asking me alive or not. anyway i do open and read my uncles and cousins blog frequnetly. somehow u stuck with the idea what shall you pen down here.
My working life is a bit change lately as I'm busier than used to be. a lot of migration need to be completed in june as everybody plan for summer leave starting from july. personal side, i kinda like it and i would say living in KL is more hectic. Ameerah, Alhamdulillah growing well. she bubles a lot and her shirt easily get wet. she knows how to face down and trying hard to crawl. she's making noise every now and then and behavin well when we go out to the mall. probably it was due to her mommy window shopping habit during pregnancy.
I called kampung 2 days ago, and umi complained the same thing too. i haven't called them for quite sometime. Like Adik said, we probably busy playing with Ameerah HeHe. Seriously we miss everything and all families back home. ayah and umi sounds OK and happy to know they have no problem with health. Umi updated me that Adik went to Sabah to visit her beloved sister there. I came to know that she is a blogger too and at least we know they are happy there. Anyway to keep on blogging and updating any issue is not an easy way. Mine still survive till this date ;-) although it looks like i'm no longer frequent writer.
Doha is having sale since last 2 weeks. Most wanted stuff by Doha mommies on 50% sale . poyos.. june and december is the best way to be out of doha so u won't spend much on those. the fact is human is human; the temptation is hard to resist. Mel gone wild by spending all her special gift for bringing Ameerah to this world. Shall she thanks to Ameerah :P
Yesterday was June 19, and it was mel's birthday. I kept on wishing it 3 days before and i believe she wouldn't expect any as she got her birthday gift in advance. I was busy at the office too doing load testing and suddenly shambeng asking me to be in leo's place. I told him that i couldnt go anywhere as it was mel's birthday. Then he suggested to make surprise birthday party for Mel. I was quite reluctant to do it because i never done it before. So i just passed the money to him to buy the cake and coordinate the event. At home before heading to leo's I was quite good in acting HaHa. Being sarcastic to anything that her doing would do a job well. She nagged me all the way to leo's. Reverse physcology by saying "yang mesti perasan kan, kot kot lah depa tuh buat surprise party kat yang". i really pissed her off. HaHa.
Once we arrived there, the plan was not so well. one of our collegue had punctured tyre and some of them had to go out and rescue her. The guys had to hide the cake first. A few minutes later, everybody home. I went to the kitchen, and lights off and everybody singing Happy besday while I carried the cake to Mel. keh keh keh. Sebenatnya gua pun malu2 jugak since i never done before and it all well planned by our friends here. Mel was blushing and as usual, she couldn't react and stunned with the event. she was clueless. I knew deep inside her, she must be happy then. Then the party began.......... well nothing much. we just had makan2 and borak2 while kids playing all around the house.
yeahh Opera Cake
