My balik kampung, outings and Food

Assalamualaikum...
Loosing words and mood to write... enjoying the new fad.. Instagram....are you not peeps? It's simple, using the phone to connect to your followers... like facebook, kann.. just insert photos and write a few lines..senang dowh!
That does not mean I'm closing this blog. Oh tidakk!  love this blog..it's my space to express my excitement and untuk tatapan kawan2 yg setia menjenguk. Insyallah, I will always update when I have the time.
Was occupied with my play house *sedap sikit bunyinya..kann* yang tak habis2 tu..Hmm, setakat ni still loving it.. and the activities with Hb and my friends..ada ada aje. I missed a few of my Cootoo gatherings but my sweet friends made an attempt to pay back what I'd missed...love you girls, muah!!

At  Upstairs Cafe...

Buulatttnya muka ku!!

This outing was on last Friday 18th January. The planned was breakfast at 'Bawang Merah' and Coffee/dessert at 'Upstairs'. AT Upstairs we were told that Friday close at 12.30pm for Friday prayer.  We then moved on to Subang Parade at Coffee Bean... three eating places in one day. Special treat by our Stephanie...thank you!!

Saturday..19th, January 'Balik Kampung'

I went back  to my Hometown for three days and of course you can imagine the clothes brought back from the 3 days plus the one in the house...mengunung! Stress? hmm..I took my sweet time to finish it...tak payah nak kalut... tak ada siapa nak marah....hmm, taking a deep breathe...phew!!
Some pictures from my balik kampung.

The first night, Saturday, we slept at my eldest sister Teh's house.  We had promised her a few times  but never had the chance. This time we made an afford to spend at least a night. Thank you Abang Din and my sister for being such a good host. The hospitality you had given us macam 5 stars Hotel..betoi!
We didn't had much time together actually, I arrived late around 7 pm and left after breakfast the next day.

She had plenty of potted plants and flowers..that's typical of us..who loves gardening and making ourselves busy.
We can easily adapt to our surroundings...  another word.. tak suka goyang kaki duduk saja2. She loves sewing and cooking like I do. As age is catching up everything is rather slow...interest still ada kekuatan saja yang kurang.

Bleeding Heart

Her orchids are so healthy, I was inspired...can't wait to be back and take good care of my neglected plants since a month ago.

That night they took us for dinner at Koh Samui Thai food. The throbbing  headache did not turn me on tho how delicious the food was... we enjoyed the crowd with my nephew Taqi happened to be around.

The three days and two nights were quite hectic for the three of us, Hb, Fifa and me.. visiting not only mine but Hb's family too...through and fro from one place to another. A small price to pay after all what matter most is to visit our parents.... how we wish to visit them often. Even though it took us months to pay our respects, we never miss calling them as often as we can.
Sedih..bila tengok keadaan berubah..they're getting old and frail each time we see them. We thank God for giving them good life.. somebody reliable to watch over them and Alhamdullillah, their needs are taken care of....both our Parents.

The weather that was so so hot and humid making my migraine throbbing to the maximum..it did spoil my stay. 

Then.

I hate to disappoint anybody especially family members. I was obligated but at the same time honored on the insistence of my sister Intan to visit her 'River Cottage'. Bearing in mind of our busy schedules and my Hb's condition... I could not be pleasing everyone..I hope they understand us..am sure they do. And I cannot say NO to my sister Intan for inviting us.. it's been years we have not stepped our feet at her 'River Cottage'... a complete change.
The environment with Flora and Fauna that you will love to go again and again.

Life has slightly change .. trying his best to fit in like he used to.. Picture above, Hb resting at the balcony in one of the houses at River Cottage. I did not encourage him to move about unattended. He might stumble upon the tree roots or uneven ground.

Luffah or petola can be seen hanging as you passed thru the cottages.
And other kind of vegetables planted everywhere on the ground for the
guest and source of food for her two care takers.

 It's so inviting...time did not permit us to dip and splash in the water..
just singgah for a short while before we drove off to KL.

..yet, she could not resist dipping her feet in to test how cold and soothing the water was.

Another attraction... the Livestock... there are many types of ducks, chickens and goats.
Back to Nature peeps..

The home coming this time I only spoke to my dear sister Leeza on the phone...insyallah we will meet sometime in KL.

Like always tak sah without showing pictures of my food.

 A simple Pasta for lunch today

 Varieties in one plate

Pasta Salad with fried chicken

 My very own Coney Dog...with Old De Paso Chili powdered added to the filling..

The weather is kinda chilly tonight and it had been like this for several days already.
It rained heavily during the day and keeping us indoor most of the time..tho it's cold outside but my inner body temperature panass membara, sore throat is on the way..
Night everyone, nothing is better than to be wrapped under the Duvet.
Adios..
