Bakawali... the night bloom

Salam..greetings and hi to everyone...I should find some time to blog again...hehehe...so what better way to start than to share this lovely pictures that my sister in KT took last night.

Have a lovely weekend!

:-)

Unplanned break and a TLC from family

I was supposed to take a short break for an appointment when I went back to my hometown the previous week, my post (here).

Didn't plan to be away for long but as I needed a rest, it became a WHOLE WEEK!. .Mum and family were happy...


(I guess!.....hahaha).

Anyway...my excuses for not being online much were :

1 - didn't bring back my notebook..and because there was no "mouse" at home, it became my excuse for not using much of my sister's notebook :-)

2 - I was supposed to rest anyway...hehe..

The last couple of days there, I felt much better. So for two evenings my nieces and I went for cycling at the monument park nearby. Been a while since I last ride..luckily none of us fell down..haha..

In front of the Crystal Mosque

Our reward  :-)

Having that whilst over-looking these....

Then its almost sunset and was time to go home..

.by car :-),

as the bicycles were rented..at RM5.00 for a half hour ride.

:-)

Wordless : Sunset @ Ha Long Bay Vietnam.

:-)

Trying to keep up :-)

hahaha...its already the 20th day in January 2014 and this is only my second post!

Ok, that's one resolution that I'm trying to keep. Another one is to cut down on my travelling..guess I overdid last year that it took toll on my health.

Also I don't want my mum and family worry about me being away too much (unless the travelling is to go back to my hometown...hehe..)

But somehow this month alone I was tempted with offers to join 3 trips to 3 different locations!

1 ~ Jakarta-Bandung-Solo-Jogja in Indonesia

2 - Universal Studio in Singapore

3 - Mumbai, India.

wow...how I wish...hahaha..

So to avoid the temptations, I booked a last minute ticket to my hometown for a break last week, and "cure" my itchy travel feet...hehehe...

Sharing some photos taken last week :

By the way, its "Visit Terengganu" this year.

We seldom go out to eat as mum is not really into going out for meals, but when she said she wanted to go for hi-tea at this place, we made the effort to fulfill it. 

This place @ Hotel Primula is the only hotel that she's comfortable with.

Some of the food that I managed to capture...my nephew took more   :-)

Ok that's the update on eating and food..hehe...

***************

We planned to hire some bikes and ride at Taman Tamadun Islam park near our home but the day (Tuesday) that we went, the park was closed (its open to public from Wednesday to Monday only from 9am to 6pm).

So that day to went for a walk instead ~ to panoramic hill near the city centre. It was our first time there and we had a nice walk...we should go again.  

Another evening I played volleyball with my nieces....was quite surprised that they could play.

The next photos were taken whilst passing through the famous beach area in K.Terengganu, Pantai Batu Burok. 

But yesterday evening I was already back in K.L. The following view was taken on ERL (train express) from KLIA to KL Sentral.

mmmm...back at work today.

Have a productive week everyone!

:-)

A fresh start.

Into the second day of year 2014 and not only saying "bye" to days in 2013, but also to the old work place.

November and December had been a different busy months..apart from welcoming family members from home, entertaining a good friend and her son from Kuching that I had not seen for many years followed by many reunions with our other friends, I had been busy with packing as our office moved to a different location.

Bye to the old work place.

Phew...it was hard work going through recent documents and also ones that were more than 10 years, my body ache all over and its not completely done though we had moved by year end. Luckily the new office is nearby (more importantly still near my home...hehehe...).

A new one still not set up when this was taken on 31.12.13.....hope for a better environment. 

Have yet to finish unpacking, hope by next week could start work properly.

and wish I could go to a good spa for a bit of pampering. :-D.

Anyway, one of my aims for new year is to lose some (ehem..) weight, but so far I have failed...hahaha...,

Not all for me thou, bought these for a little celebration for a friend's birthday.

mmmmmm.....  :-D

Hope for a stronger will.....hehehe..

1.1.14 ~ New year and new school term started in some states and for my lovely nieces...wishing them a successful and great year.....,


..hope they'll enjoy their school days, especially to my youngest niece who is in standard 1 this year.

Hope everyone have had a great start.

mmmm....so many hopes...,

:-)

Summary : 2nd half of September 2013

Continuing from last posting up to mid-September..

Long weekend due to Malaysia Day on Monday 16th September : with some good friends we made a short trip to Lentang, Pahang for a 3D/2N stay at a resort.

On the second day, we went hiking for about half an hour to the waterfall

If previous trip to Tioman Island I didn't want to be under the fall.., this time I did, and enjoyed it! may be next time I would again..hahaha..

Made the way back to KL on the noon of 16th, stopped by the house, changed my travelling bag and my friends sent me to R & R Sg Buloh for me to hitch another ride to Kuala Kangsar...to attend the majlis "solat hajat" for PMR & SPM students at MCKK that same night.

All the best to them..the PMR students had just finished their exam..SPM coming this 6th November 2013.

Back at the office, was quite busy finalising the accounts for audit, that started on Thursday.

The weekend 22nd to 23rd I was on the move again...this time to my hometown KT for a short visit, as some family members were going for Haj.

Took some time to practice bowling with my nieces :-) ...

..On Saturday 28th, its our Alumni's annual bowling tournament :

My batch was 4th in team event and I was 10th best bowler! most probably because some best bowlers didnt play this year,  ..hehehe..

Sunday 29th : second year that I took part in SCB KL Marathon with some friends, some of us in 5km run(I walked actually..haha..) and some others in 10km.

Along the way I was enjoying the views of KL, took time to take photos..and finally at the finishing line I was caught on camera doing that !......hahaha...

[My nephew told me that he and his friends in school had a good laugh seeing that photo of me..., me and my camera..., I said luckily I didn't carry my DSLR! hehehe...]

The audit field work had finished and now to finalise it for AGM.

Meantime, now I'm back in my hometown again for Eid 'ul Adha  ~ so I'm wishing all Muslim friends and readers..

In "schedules" in the next few weeks are the Alumni's dinner, trip with some friends, then another journey to Kuala Kangsar and a volleyball match with students @Cyberjaya (don't know if I could still play... but I'll bring my camera surely...hehe)

No wonder my nephew's friend asked him recently..." does Cheqna stay at her home?"

hahaha...
