A DAY IN LIFE | 17.1.2022

 Hello everyone. 

    I love reading books and since we came back from Glasgow, I have been wanting to go to Kinokuniya Book Store at KLCC. So, we did! 

On the 17th of January, Mommy planned with Adida to go to KLCC. We waited for zohor to pray and then went to Adida's house to pick her up. Then, we went straight to KL. We had lunch at the food court first and it was so good.

lunch :p

Aysha's first time at KLCC

After lunch, we went to the bookstore!!! I was so excited. We spent about half an hour there. Mommy, Idzhar and I bought a book each. 

rows and rows of books😬

After that, we went for coffee at Dotty's Pastries and Coffee and it was so, so good. We ordered some doughnuts, cakes and drinks. 

yummy!

Then, we decided to take a stroll outside. We took pictures in front of the Twin Towers and went to the playground. Unfortunately, it started raining after a while so we had to rush back in. Here are some pictures to wrap up this blog. 

That's all for now. Make sure to stay tuned for the next post. Talk to you all later!

FAF FAMILY DAY | #THROWBACK

Hi everyone.

    I know I'm not active lately but happy new year!!! I hope everyone had an awesome new year. Anyway, last year on the 19th of December, there was a flood in Malaysia. Coincidentally, that day we were supposed to go on our annual FAF family trip for our family day. So, because of the flood, we decided to do our FAF family day at Mama's house in PJ. 

    The night before, Idzhar and I slept at Mama's house because our cousins were sleeping there too and Tia was coming back from Kuantan. It's been a while since we got to meet everyone. That night, we had a lot of fun. We played some card and board games, watch movies and talked to each other. It was just like old times. We also got our annual family day T-shirts.

our team colour for the year was pink!

    The next day, we woke up early and get ready for the day. We ate breakfast and played our first game while waiting for our parents to arrive for the day. The first game was hosted by Mama herself. The game is, we had to line up and use rubber bands to make other rubber bands fall off a rope that has been tied to a chair. Even though it was just us kids with Tia and Mama, it was so chaotic. Everyone was cheering and laughing. 

we get 5 rubber bands each.

    Next, when the parents have arrived, we moved on to the second game which was hosted by Dadda and Mommy. For their game, Dadda will hit some shuttlecocks using a badminton racket and the others had to catch it using the shuttlecock tube. Each person had 6 tries. It was windy outside but we managed to play the game. Here's are some pictures of us.

After us kids, the adults played too. It was so funny to watch all the commotion. We laughed so hard and cheered loudly. 

hardcore fans HAHAHA

For our third game, we played Tia's game which we had to use toilet rolls to knock down plastic water bottles like bowling! It was really fun. The kids go first like always then the adults. We laughed SO HARD when the adults played. HAHAHA. It was really funny. Here are some videos.

After Tia's game, we took a quick break for Zohor prayers and ate lunch. We also took some family pictures.

CLICK!📸📸📸

Then, we moved on to Ayah De's game where the adults had to put a piece of Jacob's Cracker on their forehead and try to make the cracker fall to their mouth without using their hands. We kids, we had to time them and see which team wins. It was so messy and funny too HAHAHA.

Then, we played Aunty Alma's game. For this game, each team had 3 team members. We had 1 minute to "dress up" our model using a toilet roll. Each team can only use 3 rolls. Aunty Alma's game was a little challenging since we had to use our creativity but we had fun.

Lastly, we moved on to Ayahngah's game. We all had to create a dance to a song of our choice and it was HILARIOUS. We had so much fun. For this game, we kids had two teams, boys versus girls. Then the adults paired up. Here are some videos to enjoy!😉

we basically got "rickrolled" by them BAHAHAH

💃💃💃

us kids joined in too!

That night after we did our maghrib prayers together, we ate dinner and celebrate Faiez's birthday. Then Ayahngah and Aunty Inn gave us presents for the game like we did every family day before this. We had loads of fun that day. 

So that's it for this post. Stay tuned for part 2.

Talk to you all later!😉

3 DAY TRIP TO SEREMBAN FOR MAKSU AUNI'S WEDDING

 Hello everybody.

     Since school has finished and we are on a break, my family and I went to Seremban for Maksu Auni's wedding. We were so excited (mostly me to be honest, hehe). So here's how it went.

     Before we headed to Seremban, we packed and Mommy ironed our baju kurung and Dadda and Idzhar's baju melayu. The next day, we had lunch at Subang Permai. Tokmama bought some nasi kukus from the mosque. It was so good. Then we began our journey. It took us about 1-2 hours to arrive at the Royal Chulan Hotel, where we stayed for the trip. The place was beautiful. Here are some pictures.

on the way selfie :p

the christmas decorations are up

mirror selfie! 

That night, we went for dinner at Wan Jah and Tok Noor's AirBnB. It has been years since the last time we got to meet each other (the Kasram family) and we were excited to meet everyone. Wan Jah ordered some nasi ambeng and it was so, so good!!! Idzhar definitely liked it. There was some homemade roti canai made by Tok Chu too. It was really nice to catch up with everyone after a while. After that, we headed back to our hotel to get some rest for the next day.

On day two, it was the wedding day (i.e. akad nikah/solemnisation ceremony)! 

Since we were family of the bride aka Maksu Auni, we went to the venue a little early to set everything up before our guests from the groom's family arrived. The ceremony were kept small with it being attended by family members of the bride and groom only. The dais (or in malay we call it pelamin) was really, really beautiful!! It had flowers and colourful lights. Then, the groom's family members started to arrive along with the bride and groom. Then they started the akad nikah and all those things they do to get married followed by makan time!!! To be honest, I always love wedding dishes. It's really, REALLY delectable I must say, hehe. Anyway, we ate and took family pictures. Not gonna lie, it was a lovely day for the wedding. Here are some pictures from day 2.

We are ready!!!

Team bride!

Congratulations Maksu Auni and Uncle Ash!

After the wedding, we went back to our hotel to rest. We also went for a quick swim at the swimming pool. 

That night, we ate dinner at Wan Jah's AirBnB again. We also helped with the plans and the goodies for the next day, which is the wedding reception. It was a relaxing day after the Nikah ceremony.

On our last day, it was finally the reception day! 

Before we got ready for the reception, we went for our last dip in the pool. 

We woke up early and went for a swim from 8 till 8:30 o'clock. Then we got ready for the reception. 

We had a quick breakfast, packed our luggage to check out, then went down to the lobby.

ready! 

Then we headed straight to the venue. The wedding started around 12 o'clock but we arrived a little early to take photos and eat before the guests arrived because some of us had duties for the day. Mommy and Dadda was the MC and I was tasked to hand out door-gifts. 

Here are some pictures:

the whole family. 

After the wedding, it's finally time to go home. 

But before we headed back to Shah Alam, TokMama, Mommy and I helped Wan Jah with all the wedding presents and extra food from the wedding. We also stayed for a while to watch Maksu Auni and Uncle Ash opened their presents. It was a tiring day but also a magnificent experience. It was certainly an occasion to remember!

That's all for now guys. Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more.

P.S: since it is almost the end of 2021, I will do some recap posts. 

Make sure to stay tune for those okay? 😉

OUR LAST 5 DAYS TRIP AROUND THE UK!!! PART 1| DAY 1-3 #THROWBACKPOST

Hi there.

    First of all, I’m really sorry that I haven't been updating because I was so busy with school since I just started going back.😭 Anyway, in this post, I'm going to tell you guys about our 5 day trip before we came back to Malaysia.

  On our first day, we went to Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh. It was beautiful. We also did some activity that they provide for the kids. After that, we walked to the old Rosslyn Castle to take some pictures. It was just a 1 minute walk from the chapel but it was drizzling so it was a little slippery. We went back on the road in our rental car after. we made a short pit-stop at M&S Simply Foods for a toilet break. There is also Costa Coffee and other shops so we bought some drinks and snacks too then back on the road. It took us about 2 hours to arrive at Liverpool. When we arrived at our B&B, it was already dark so we settled in for the night, ate dinner and got a nice rest. Here are some pictures from Day 1.

I miss this Autumn feeling!!😭

For our second day, we went for a Liverpool stadium tour for Dadda's birthday. We got to take pictures, visit the museum and more. Dadda had fun since he is a big Liverpool fan. We also went inside the souvenir shop to buy some souvenirs to bring back home.

After that, we went back on the road to search for lunch. On the way, we kinda got lost but thankfully, we spotted McDonalds so we decided to stop there for lunch. Next, about 1 hour plus, we finally arrived at Manchester. We stayed at Travelodge and we visited Dadda's ex-schoolmate for dinner.

On our third day, we went to Old Trafford. Unfortunately, the stadium was closed so we went to the gift shop to buy some souvenirs to bring back to Malaysia.

the sky was very clear that day.

Then, we went to Market Street to buy some more souvenirs to bring back. There was definitely a lot of shopping in our trip.😂 We went to Primark, Hard Rock Cafe and more. After that, we went for lunch at a near Malaysian restaurant with one of Dadda's friend. It was a really nice day and we definitely walk a lot. Here are some pictures.

                                   

there is even a F.R.I.E.N.D.S corner in the Primark along with the cafe in the series.

That's it for now. Make sure to stay tuned for part 2 of the 5 trip. Bye.
