TKC gathering at Fa's, Izzaty's 1st ASHR medal

What a hectic weekend!!

Attended a gathering at Fa's place last Saturday... and I had a GRRrreatt time! :) Not many girls attended- just Fa (our ever 'charming' host), No Long (our guest of honour!), myself (of course!), Germ, Lin Khalid, Wewe, Qiss, Nini, Finaz, Salina, Has and Nani. It was really nice meeting them again after all these years. Some of them has put on some weight... but others look comel as ever :) Qiss prepared fresh curry bun and pizza (I am so impressed with your domestic skill Qiss!! :)), Wewe brought spaghetti, Lin K made some nice cup cakes (hmm.. delicious!), Nini and Finaz prepared currypuffs, and others (including yours truly yang malas nih!) just 'outsourced' some kuih-muih for this gathering. Izzaty also had a wonderful time playing with the girls' kids.

On Sunday, we attended Izzaty's kumon award ceremony at Bukit Beruntung Golf Club. Our heart nearly burst with proud (cewah!) when we saw Izzaty on the stage taking her award. Again, I'd like to thank Allah for giving me such wonderful kids. I pray that Izzat will follow his sis's step and be an ASHR student by next year. It was during the ceremony, Izzat dropped our camera and it went kaput!! :( And it's only 5 days left... before we're leaving for Europe... :( I guess it's fate... Well, at least it happened here in Malaysia. Not when we're in Europe.. hope things will go well when we're in Europe.. and the kids in Malaysia. Attended a wedding in Dewan Felda on Sunday night. Such a memorable wedding... great decorations and preparations! By the time we reached home, I was so tired.... and felt asleep almost right after I layed my head on the pillow...

The trip to Brussel in ON!

The trip to Brussel is ON! :) Have booked flight to London on 4th of March 2006 (earlier than the original trip to Brussel) Will be going to Granada, Spain to visit Al Hamra and insyaAllah the Cardoba Mosque...., before flying to Brussel. After business is done in Brussel, we are planning to fly to Vennice.. and enjoy the romantic city again before going home via London again :) Hopefully our plan goes well... please Allah, berkat our journey.. and may we always under YOUR protection wherever we go.. Aamin..

VIR project : UAT phase

Busy.. busy.. busy. The VIR project is in the UAT phase... but I am very worried about the GL enhancement which is not 100% catered yet. Hubby has set a date for his Brussel business trip. He insisted on me to join him on this trip... which I'm more than happy to obligue :) It's just that the particular chosen date falls on school holiday and I am quite worried the kids will be bored without any interesting activities :(

Beijing & Seoul Trip

I had such a wonderful time in Beijing & Seoul! :) This is our belated 8th anniversary trip :) Made lots of friend in the group - a couple from Ampang, 2 wonderful career ladies from petronas, a family of 8 and 10 staff of Kuwait Finance. Weather are cold.. but it's a nice change compared to the current hot weather in Malaysia.

Beijing is historically interesting! We had great fun travelling with our Chinese tour guide Mr Lee a.k.a Ali :) And he can speak Malay! Or rather.. Indon language.. so we can understand him very clearly :) Among my favorite places we visited are..

The Great Wall of China (of course!) - we had fun climbing the wall!

The Nan Dou Ya Mosque (alhamdulillah... we were given the chance to pray in this 5000 yrs old mosque).

The Summer Palace (the lake were frozen! We had fun walking on the ice!)

The Forbidden City

Wax Museum

Panda Zoo

Naik beca in Hutong.... seronok!! :)
Kesejukan masa berbeca! :D


Shopping.. shopping.. shopping... hehe..HRC Beijing

Shopping for China Silks!

And more shopping malls which I can't recall the names :)

Seoul on the other hand is more modern. But we had the chance to visit some historical places like the Kyonbok Palace & Cultural Museum. Our Korean tourist guide is not as nice as Ali but Jeffry @ Giraffe is not so bad.. he made our trips very organized and arranged for us to have our Dzuhur prayer at the Seoul International Mosque.

The historical Kyonbok Palace, Korea

Shopping for brooches at Nam Daemun market

Nam Daemun market.. let's go shopping! :)


Seoul City


Having fun at Lotte World - At the 'Stairway to Heaven' film scene... one of my favourite Korean films.. huhu! :)

The beautiful Seoul International Mosque

Overall... I had fun during the trip.... though I was a bit upset cause was not able to shop more in Beijing. We bought lotssss of interesting things for ourselves and souvenirs for friends. :) Wish we could spent more time in both places as I'd like to shop more!! hehe.. and most of all I wish I could go skiing in Seoul.... *sigh!* :(
