A visit from Kuching...

About a week ago during weekend, a good friend of mine Leyna & her family (from Kuching) came down to KK and stayed over for a nite since there was no connecting flight to Labuan. It was actually their holiday’s trip to her home town (Labuan) for the CNY celebration. They reached KK around 4 p.m on Saturday & we met them at around 7.30 p.m. @ Warisan Square & later on had our dinner at Secret Recipe. Thanks Leyna for the gifts that you all gave to Andrea & Andrea…they love it so much..Andrea has forgotten about her Barbie bag now..instead she brought her newly “Pooh & Friends” bag to school J…It’s good to know that our anaks get along very well (sharing foods & drink, play & laugh with each other) except for Andrew yg kuat buli si Yasmin..sorry la ah Leyna my son too hyperactive bah J..We chit chatted mostly about our anaks – about their behavior, their schools & so on…

Since their flight to Labuan was on the next day at 4 p.m. so we all sempat lagi go out on Sunday & had our lunch at Jothy’s restaurant. When we got inside the car, Yasmin gave Andrea an envelope & when Andrea opened it, there was a piece of paper with colorful heart shape all over it….so sweet ya know!! She also gave Andrea one of her pearl bracelet and Andrea loves it so much..can see that this lil’ girl appreciate her friendship very much & kecil2x ada suda personal touch kan….till now Andrea uses that pearl bracelet even to school & to sleep…

I’m so happy that I could see my good ol’ friend again…still remember how she had helped me in so many ways back in U..how could I forget that!! Really enjoy our weekend that day …looking forward to see them again..if not in KK, maybe in kuching ;). Pics above taken during their visit here in KK..can see how tall Yasmin is from this pics…same age tu with Andrea except that she’s 1.5 mths younger than her J..

Anne's Birthday @ Kohinoor
This entry was long overdue..was supposed to blog about this last week BUT was quite tight up with "something" + waiting for the pictures to be downloaded from those who has brought the digicam on that particular day.

Anne (our colleague) celebrated her birthday at Restaurant Kohinoor @ Waterfront KK on the 9/11/2007 - she shares the same birthday with Maya (Jurra's daughter). Happy Birthday Anne..!!

It was my 1st time dining at this place & was really satisfied with the food & services.......Thanks Anne with your kind hospitality..if not because of you..i won't be able to taste such a unique & tasty food + drink from Northen Indian... Really feel like i was in India for few minutes...with the interesting background music + the bindi on our heads....cool!!

Here are some pics taken..Thanks to "Sindut" for sharing these photos...

Outside view..

Inside view..

Our table..nicely prepared..

No soft drink or any other drinks...Anne just ordered this one...forgot what does it called...It has a weird taste though..Anne said this is good for your health & digestion...It has coriander leaves & some spices in it....well..at least i have tried..:D

I had a lot of these while waiting for the main dish..

The appetizer...taste nice but TOO sweet for me...

The main dish...Yummy..love the tandoori chicken + chicken massala + the rest (forgot the dish's name)...*drooling*..

Delicious roti nan with 3 types of delicious gravy....YUMMY...

Last menu was served - The rice...& we didn't even finished it...all were too full...

The birthday gal..sweet & charming Anne..

Finally..our group photo..

KESITER dinner 2007
Attended the KESITER Charity dinner organized by JPKN for the first time last night...(Thanks to Sindut for getting us the tickets @};-)...As planned, we (Jurra & myself) drove to Sindut's house and later car pool using her car to Magellan where the dinner took place. We reached there around 7 p.m, just nice actually, masih banyak lagi tu parking..

I must say that the organizing committee did a good job..Not only the function went quite well & organized, but they sure know how to entertain their guests well...*clap2x*..

Met an old friend of mine, Josie who's also one of the organizing committee..nice seeing you again Josie :) .

The theme color for tonite's dinner is maroon & white..can see people wearing these two colours everywhere..nice!!..even we ourselves followed the theme colour B-)!!...Only 7 of us left (6 ladies + 1 guy) seating at one table which also means MORE food for us :D/. The other 3 gentlemen decided to sit at the other table together with the DH group..thanks to LG for convincing them on how good our appetite is ;)).

Group photo of us ladies..Jenny belum sampai while Joe taking pic...

The program went quite well, eventhough didn't won any lucky draw prizes but one thing for sure..we sure had loads of fun!! The highlight of the night was the song performance from Velvet MALATOP!!!...She sang 5 songs altogether & one of them was her latest hits "Kini detiknya" and a Dusun song which i only heard for the first time & has fallen in love with that song...Our table was at the first row & located near the stage and kami apalagi...when Velvet went down the stage...i almost could not not control myself (i think some ppl even notice that :D)... was too excited till i didn't even bother what was happening around me...This girl really can sing! She has a beautiful & powerful voice...really admire the way she sang...she has slimmer down a bit too..her face punya la main licin..her looks reminds me of Kris Dayanti..

When she was at the other side, i went infront of our table and balik2x waving at her asking her to come nearer.."sini..sini.." she actually saw me calling and slowly walk to our table..and when she was right infront of me....instead of shaking hand or took pic with her...what i did was just busy snapping her pics #-o...*DUH*..

When she was at our table for the 2nd time...and the moment when i wanted to take pic with her....my digicam showed me this "MEMORY FULL"...:(( ...was asking Sindut for backup since she also brought one...but instead of getting ready with her digicam, she accidentally pressed the off button..:((:(( ..suddenly semua orang pun mo panic..hahaha...BUT nevermind..memang we were all so lucky la...there was another photo session with her outside the ball room after the last menu was served....trus senyum lebar kami semua....take a look of our pics taken below..

Majlis Berbuka Puasa @ STAR
It has been our company yearly event to organised a "Majlis Berbuka Puasa" attended by our staffs (managers/snr staff/muslim's staff), VIPs & of course our customers and this year the event was held on last Thursday (27/09/2007) @ STAR Hotel (same venue as last yr). The program is scheduled to start at 5.30 p.m. but I only arrived there at 7 p.m!!!! eventhough i left from office quite early at 4 p.m. :-w

Hubs drove me there since i do not want to drive alone..so he brought the kids along since no one to bbsit them...Andrew cried wanted to follow me the minute when i get down from the car...kesian....i just looked at him/them & wave bye2x..eventhough it's hurt and sad to see him crying like that :(. Smsed hubs to ask how Andrew was doing...he replied..he is doing a-o-kay and told me he's started to talk now.. #:-Swas so glad to hear that and tidak payah mau worry lagi...hmmm...Dad must have "bribe" them with sumthing :-?...

While mom was in STAR makan2x..dad brought the kids to jalan2x in CP....

Since only few of our colleagues a.k.a geng karas came, feel quite bored at first "BUT" not until when we met our new friends which sat at the same table with us. They were our guests from one of the gov office...we just knew them for few hours but it seems that we've known them for few months or years...Wow...happening tau our table!! We laughed and laughed and laughed sampai tidak ingat dunia lagi....till......(errr..decided not to tell the rest of the story since it can be considered as one of those embarassing moment..hehehe).

Our new friends..(Mo, Jude & Pn. Noriah)..

Few pictures of us with "posing ayu"...

And these are the candid pics took by our very own paparazzi..meriah kan.. (actually there are more but has been filtered..hehehe..)

and....The Paparazzi awards goes to....

I only had this from the main course dish...+ 3 slices of fried ikan tenggiri...lost my appetite after my 3 times attemp to....(hmm..let it be my secret..hahaha)....The food..the taste was just so-so...not that tasty..The "NASI LEMAK KUKUS" in Giant tasted much more better than the one i had here....tiada rasa bah...& I heard the cook was "Orang Putih" yo..

And this was our appetizer + few more but didn't manage to take pic due to terlampau bercerita & laughed so much....

There was a talk during the "ceramah agama" presented by one of the Imam....and the word of wisdom from him ..."Makan bila lapar dan berhenti sebelum kenyang"....hmm....Good to apply when you wanted to have a slimmer body kan...so make sure your body sensor is well functioning before you could apply this or else it will be too late...nanti kanyang suda tu perut 8-}..

Hubs & the kids picked me up at around 9.00 p.m. and i was welcomed with a "BIG" smile....weird??? wanted to know why..cuz dad has "bribe" Andrew with...

And Andrea with a...

Betul kan sia cakap ;)).....hmmm...bukan main lagi my sumandak nie [-) !! Well...at least everyone went home with happy faces :D....that does matter :)..

"Good Thing" did happen....
I had been telling my colleagues (C & M) that my eye lid on my right keep on blinking itself...not so sure if it meant something good or bad....C told me that something good is going to happen.."Bagus pigi beli 4D" dia bilang $-)...so I did..but still no luck 8-....Guess that wasn't the "Good thing" after all.. ;))..

My eye lid continue to blink for the next few days...and guess what....it's true what C has told me...something good did happen...In two weeks in a row, we got a visit from relatives (hub's side) & a close friend that came all the way from Kuching & JB.....

Hubby's Aunt & her family (the hubby + her two daughters - Pipin & Lyn) + hubby's grandma (which he called "mumbok" in Bidayuh) were here in KK 2 weeks ago to attend Pipin's graduation day at UMS...Congrats to Pipin!! They were here for a week (from 2nd - 8th Sept) but only managed to meet them on the 4/9 (Tue) since their schedule were pretty tight (they had planned to go to Ranau & Labuan). Was so happy to meet them especially my dear hubby...it has been quite a while since we last meet them, wah apalagi..when they met up..semua pun speaking in tongue..;))....excited my hubby...We didn't have a chance to bring them to tour around though.....we just met them at the hotel and had a chat and catch up stories with each other....then a day before they fly back to Kuching, brought them to my dad's place in Dungkahang for dinner & had a mini family gathering together with my parents & siblings. Send them to airport the nxt morning, their flight was in the afternoon..before they left, sempat juga they gave Andrea & Andrew with some angpows..Tq!!...Only few pics were taken, semua pun camera shy...

A day after they went back, had another visitor....a friend of ours, Melvin who came all the way from JB to KK to attend a course for a week (from 9th - 15th Sept). For those who didn't know, he was our unimate in UTM, housemate for few years & our geng keras in JB...He's a Sarawakian but working in JB and now married with 2 kids (wah..detailnya..ndak pa bah kan since ini 1st time muka ko masuk my blog..hehehe)...and we kinda related juga..his elder brother married to my elder sister...we shared the same niece & nephew...what a small world kan...8-} ...

We only met him on Tuesday night and plan to treat him dinner at one of hubby's fav restaurant in Lintas (sadap the western food sana) but due to the heavy rain, change the venue to Pizza Hut @ CTMall. Suppose kami yang mo blanja bah kan...turn out dia pulak yg belanja..rejeki....TQ ah Melvin!!!

Melvin & hubby with the kids @ Pizza Hut CTMall.

A day before he flies back to JB, he treated us (our family + his brother's family) dinner at Dowish. Tq once again ah Melvin !!..rejeki lagi..hehehe...the food there was nice esp. the prawn =..service pun ok......

Took photo @ Dowish while waiting for the food..

The foods...yummy!!

The kids: Andrea (wearing her fav dress), Sha-sha, Don-Don & Andrew.

Andrea & Andrew both get presant from Uncle Melvin..*showing their happy faces*

Andrea got herself a barbie doll complete with few sets of wardrobes...she loves it!!

Andrew got himself a remote control car....he likes it so much...

Trus mau main suda..

Andrew could not wait to test his remote control car..

On the nxt day, we brought the kids to Pacific Sutera Hotel's swim pool for their early bath..Melvin has been staying in this hotel for a week...so took the chance la...hehehe..

Enjoying themselves inside the pool..

After few hours of swim, had a rest inside the hotel room..All concentrating watching this movie "The House of wax"..

The clock shows almost 11 a.m & it's time for Melvin to fly back home to his family in JB...sent him to airport to catch his afternoon flight at 12.15 p.m.

Melvin was forced to use a sun glass due to an eye infection on his right eye....suda baik ka mata ko Melvin?

Time to go home..Sayonara Melvin....

My eye lid has been stopped blinking since then....well...life goes back to normal.....hopefully there will be more "good things" coming to our life after this without waiting/hoping/depending my eye lid to start blinking all over again..:D....Will leave that to God to decide..
