Today, 12 years ago

Alhamdulillah, 12 years ago, the day that Allah gave me a very precious gift. Years gone by and you have grown up but to me, you're still my little bucuk-bucuk baby boy.

Happy 12th birthday sayang.

Ibu, ayah, Aisyah and Muneera love you very much.

Tsamina mina zangalewa... My visit to Africa

Happened in January 2010

Attended a course organized by The Swedish International Development Agency, the third phase of Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Rights Programme at Pretoria, South Africa. The first phase took place May 2009 at The Swedish University Of Agricultural Sciences, Lund.

Pertama kali jejak bumi Afrika and I enjoy it very much. I'm sorry, I'm not really good in promoting or explaining places of interest. On another note, I didn't have enough time to actually explore Pretoria and Johannesburg.

We were grounded and locked up at Intundla Game Lodge and Bush Spa, 30 minutes drive north east of Pretoria or 50 minutes drive from Johannesburg International Airport. Masyaallah, memang cantik giler tempat ni. The best part is, if you're lucky or the chosen one he..he..he ( I lah tuuu ) you'll bump into some wildlife along the way. Let the photos do the talking.

Sangat adventure.


The guard at the main entrance of such a huge area of the lodge
Tidak diketahui sebab musabab tindakan dia menepuk dahi.


Perjalanan diteruskan lagi selepas dibenarkan masuk

Out to African bush


Look at all those wildlife. I feel like as if I'm photo-shooting National Geographic documentary





Intundla actually refers to this four-legged creature



Scenic breathtaking beauty



Such a wonderful and fruitful experience. Miss all of you guys.

Cuti-cuti dan Makan-makan

Ingat tak lagi cerita ni ?

Sewaktu cerita ini ditulis, terbayang-bayang patin tempoyak Pak Usop yang sungguh sedap itu. Restoran Pak Usop ni terletak dalam Pekan Temerloh, berdekatan dengan Sungai Pahang. Masakan kampung dan ulam-ulaman yang bermacam jenis.

Sekiranya ingin ke sana, pastikan anda sampai sebelum atau pada pukul 12 tengahari untuk menikmati 1st batch of patin tempoyak itu. Bukan itu sahaja, ia bertujuan untuk mengelakkan anda agar tidak lenguh kaki beratur lama untuk patin tempoyak itu. Satu sebab lagi, semua kepala patin adalah menjadi idola dan sekiranya anda juga peminat bahagian kepala, ikutilah nasihat saya kerana suamiku itu pun adalah peminat tegar kepala patin. Kalau lambat, silalah tunggu periuk kedua yang akan dimasak sebaik sahaja periuk pertama habis. Jenuh lagi nak menunggu beb.

Sila lah menjamu mata dan kalau sapa-sapa yang air liur meleleh tu, bukan tujuan saya nak menganiaya kawan-kawan semua.


Inilah Restoran Patin Tempoyak Pak Usop



Inilah tukang masaknya, anak kepada Pak Usop yang telah mengambil alih kepakaran Pak Usop yang sekarang sudah bersara dan agak uzur.



Inilah rupa Patin Tempoyak yang mampu membuat sesiapa saja yang cuba sekali nak berkali-kali.



Penambah selera, sambal belacan dan ulam-ulaman.





Kalau dah makan, mestilah kena ada air, kang tercekik lah pulak. So, nak habaq mai satu lagi specialty dia orang ni iaitu Ais Jagung Susu, memang TDF. Sorrylah kawan-kawan, terlupa pulak nak ambik gambar.

Betul tak cakap saya ? Mesti ada yang dah terliur ni ...

UPSR and PSRA Countdown

In approximately 2 months time, my eldest will sit for his UPSR exam followed by PSRA exam.

Being a mother, I hope and pray that he'll try his best and the rest, berserah pada ALLAH.
