Penang

Hi there!

I went to Penang last week for 6 days. I was there on business but I just had to bring my kids along with me since nobody was available to take care of them here in KL. Well, no problem with that because I would be in peace when they were with me all the time. So, I arranged my time accordingly so that my business meetings would be on schedule and my kids would be attended to as well.

The first two nights and three days we stayed at Hydro Hotel which was superb. The room was huge. There was one king-sized bed, a living room consisted of a white large sofa, a coffee table and two wide armchairs. There was also a working table with lamp and leather chair. It was indeed a comfortable room that I enjoyed so much. Oh yes, there were two balconies, one with two pool chairs and a round table, another balcony with two plastic chairs and a square table. My children loved the spacious room that they turned it into a football field during the day!!!

The next three nights we stayed at Hard Rock Hotel. I requested for a family room but because I was too occupied that day, we checked in a little bit late and the room was taken. But, we were given a special room instead - Lagoon Deluxe Pool View. I was told that only celebrities and famous people stayed in these rooms, CT was one of them, Yusry KRU too!!!! Wow, I chose not to complaint but enjoy the room. The room was spectacular with a balcony and you could just straight away jump into the swimming pool. Yes, open the balcony door and you could enjoy the swimming pool right away....that's how beautiful the room was, no wonder they're reserved for famous people...

During the days, I was busy with meetings and work. At night, I took my kids around and we painted Georgetown red!!!! We ate and ate until wee hours in the morning. We had Nasi Beratur, the most famous nasi kandar in Penang.....I had to admit that it was the best, the real thing and I had Nasi Beratur four nights in a row.....it started exactly at 10pm, if you were there before time, that was not Nasi Beratur, it was a different one. At the same premise, there were four different people selling nasi kandar, they took turns selling. The best one was of course the one at 10pm...

I also had the best tandoori in town. I thought the one that I always ate near my house was the best ever but this one was even better!!! The tandoori was out of this world with juicy chicken and the spices were one of a kind, it's indescribable....you've got to taste it yourself to enjoy it...

Well, there were many other foods that I wanted to try but I was in Penang not for leisure, so, I just had to make do with the Nasi Beratur and Tandoori....

8 Years Already...

Yup, it's our 8th anniversary. So glad that we've made it this far....there have been ups and downs no doubt. Last year was the most challenging and yet, we've braved through it successfully, Alhamdulillah... Everything that happened had happened for a reason, I was sure of that. I've become more tolerant and more understanding now. I wish to be tougher and stronger in facing the many more years to come with my better half, there would definitely be more challenging encounters in the months and years ahead. But, heck, I'm going to face it all no matter what, InsyaAllah. To my hubby, Congratulations darling, we've come a long way and I love you. To my little heroes, Papa and Mama would always be together for you and be there whenever you need us. Love you all.

Cyst

For the past three days I was suffering from a bad pain somewhere in between my cervix and bikini line. Whenever I walked, the pain throbbed and at times, I had to topple while walking. At the office yesterday morning, the pain was getting worse, and I decided to go and see my gynae. I took the time off from office and I thought since the doctor was an extremely busy gynae, it's better if I gave the clinic a call first. When I called, the nurse mentioned that there were way too many patients waiting and she couldn't slot me in. Alright then, I guess I'd have to make do with another doctor who was not a specialist at a different clinic. My hubby waited for me and we went to the clinic together. I described my pain to her and she asked me to lie down for an ultrasound scanning. She kept on pressing the device on my over-bloated tummy (after 3 kids, what do you expect? hihi) trying to locate if there's anything weird inside... She was trying hard to see and I was trying ha...

'Gelora Di Hati Sarah'

Last night was the first episode of a Malay drama entitled 'Gelora Di Hati Sarah' on RTM1. The main casts were Fauziah Latiff, Rosyam Nor, Datuk Rahim Razali, Aida Rahim and Liza Othman. I came across a write-up on this drama in one of the local newspapers the day before and what caught my interest to watch it was of course Fauziah Latiff... Fauziah Latiff is a singer and although I might not be her biggest fan but I kinda grew up listening to her songs since I was in primary school. Her songs are mostly pop ballads and amongst my favourites are Teratai Layu Di Tasik Madu, Setia Ku Korbankan, Enggan and many others. Those were the times when I was in melancholic mood and these songs became my comfort... I also watched her in theatre - Rubiah - few years back where she acted as the lead role in the play. Not bad at all and I could still remember vividly the act where she had to recite the Quran and her voice was so soft and sweet. Ok, Fauziah Latiff might not known as a star in ...
