Alhamdulillah... We were blessed to be able to gather with my sisters and their family.., plus my mom and my dearest aunt at Puncak Arabella, Cameron Highland during the CNY break ❤
Unfortunately, my princess were not able to join us... She had band camp and had to stay in college till Monday morning. She was a bit upset for not being able to join us but at the same time she was super duper excited to be chosen to join the college team to go for SBP Wind Orchestra saringan next month....we are so happy for her, alhamdulillah ❤
Back to our family gathering... We certainly had an awesomely fantabulous time!!! Too bad my brother and his kids were not able to join us!

2 years ago we stayed in Puncak Arabella Condominium... This time around, my sister Na booked a huge bungalow in Puncak Arabella! It was grand!! 9 rooms plus an attic... More than enough for 27 of us! Lots if food, games and most importantly spending quality time together ❤.
The Puncak Arabella bungalow - our accomodation for 3 days 2 night during CNY break
So huge!! 9 bedrooms + an attic. Love it! And the weather was heaven! Windy and cold... very, very nice!
2 of the rooms in the bungalow - the top pic was our room, and the bottom pic was the room for the boys - Izzat, Daniel, Haris, Damien, Aiman.
Ashraf and Johan chose to stay at the attic.
Having lunch... after such a looooonggg journey from KL to Cameron Highland.
The traffic from Jalan Duta to Simpang Pulai via PLUS highway was extremely bad!! All R&Rs were extremely packed!! We left Bukit Beruntung as early as 7am! But still trapped in the bad traffic! :P
With one of my nieces - Danisyah Irdina. Love you girl!
What's so special about this trip was we got the chance to do a small doa selamat for our arwah ayah....
Al Fatihah buat arwah ayahanda Tuan Haji Abdul Manaf...
An ustaz was specially invited to lead us during the majlis doa selamat.... Alhamdulillah Ya Allah... we were so blessed..... ❤
On 2nd day, my sisters Along with Na and her hubby... together with some of the boys went out to explore Cameron Highland. Izzat followed them but Mr Hubby and I decided not to join them and just resting at the bungalow :) But first thing in the morning, we brought my mom and aunt to Brinchang to buy some fresh veges! :)
Strawberry - must buy at CH!! And not forget strawberry jam! My favourite is Kasimanis Jam... crunchy and just nice to my liking :)
Along, Na, Saadan, Danisyah and the boys having lots of fun exploring Cameron Highland.
While the rest of us were content enough chilling and resting at the bungalow :)
It was really fun! Had a blast bonding with my mom, sisters, bro-in-laws, nieces and nephews... not to forget my beloved aunt! ❤ ❤
Adorable Nadiya and Sofea... ❤
Nadiya having a 'girlish' time with cousin Danisyah ❤
Ashraf was good with little Sofea... ❤
Rozaimi entertaining the boys (plus Danisyah who was actually bored without Izzaty and Sara.. hiks!) playing soccer. This pic was taken from one of the balconies of the bungalow. What a lovely view from up there! :)
My mom's menantu(s) - Mr Hubby, Hatta, BangLong and Saadan (Rozaimi not in the pic) bonding while enjoying the cool weather and the food ;)
On the last night of our stay, there was a game organized specially for the kids.... Good job Saadan! The kids really enjoyed it! Siap ada hadiah lucky draw lagi!!
The last dinner at the bungalow - steamboat.... yummeh!!! Sejuk2 ni mmg sedap makan soup panas2! :D
Family pic on the last day (not the pic - Izzat, Johan and Bang Long... and of course we are missing Angah, Sara, Adam and Izzaty in the pic as well... )
We left Cameron Highland via Tapah around 8am. Had to leave early to fetch Izzaty at my sis-in-law's house (thanks Kak Eina for fetching Izzaty for us! *muah!!*)
I would like to put on record a BIG round of thanks and kudos to the main organiser and sponsor of this event.... my lovely sis - Na, her hubby - Saadan and family! You guys rock!!! Moga panjang umur dan dimurahkan rezeki lagi!! ❤ Moga tahun depan ada lagi gathering seperti ini.... insyaAllah... ❤
