Holiday! *Natural Way Of Therapy*

We have just returned from P.Dickson, Negeri Sembilan for a relaxation *holiday* We stayed at Thistle, formerly known Guoman Resort, for 3 days 2 nights, from Friday to Sunday. It's a nice Hotel by the beach. We Booked two adjoining rooms viewing the swimming pools and sea. Fantastic view! It has one adult's pool and three kiddies. And the rooms were spacious with Super king size bed. But the beach was kinda dirty.. memang tak ada choice, The beaches here has not been taken care of..sob! Hubby needed a holiday with Natural Therapy so he could lie on the beach and covered with the sand and breathe fresh breezy sea air. P.Dickson is only one and a half hour drive from K.l. The trip was quite comfy for the two of us seated behind. Syazwan who drove and Fifa seated in the front seat. Syafiq decided not to follow, *frequent holiday in P.D* He missed all the fun!

This is Thistle Beach Hotel

The minute we checked in, dah berposing!

Belum apa2, dah lapar.

View from our 5th floor room

This is actually the natural kind of Therapy,
hubby wanted.

Here Papa, let me help you!

Macam mana nak mandi, air kotor.

Bersantai, while waiting for Papa doing his Therapy

I started a bowl of cereal with fruits for breakfast


And later...this!

Dinner.. Syazwan took us to Seafood Restoran by the sea.
Oh Syafiq, you missed this!

Sweet Sour Lala.

The second night was really tiring for us, being at the beach twice, morning and evening. Hubby took about one plus hours covered in the sand..panas hingga membakar kulit! But he felt good!
Dinner, we went somewhere nearer to the Hotel, firstly because too exhausted and secondly football match between Arsenal and?? *hubby's team* We had our dinner in one restaurant that cooked Thai food.


Hubby's body was aching the next morning, so we did not go to the beach. I guessed it must be the weight of the sand on his body, when doing the Therapy. And after breakfast, we relaxed and we checked out around 12.30pm. It was a pleasant stay at Thistle. We reached Kota Kemuning around 2.00 pm and had our lunch at Paparich Kopitiam.



Well, that's all about our Holiday this time. Sampai rumah Syafiq kelaparan, nasib baik ada tapau food!
Insyallah, in the coming month, we shall go again.

'1st Day of New Year'

We started the New Year *1.1.2011* eating Pancakes for breakfast. Which we,*hubby and me* normally had oats with varieties of nuts and raisins. I bought them at the cake confectionery and bottled them together. Anyway, it's New Year right? It has to begin with something elaborate. I made cranberry pancakes and ate it with Maple Syrup, butter and jam. AND Baskin Robbin's ice cream. Hmm, sedapp!!

Hah! What's for New Year's lunch? Errr..rr, actually I wanted to cook, but I was too occupied spring cleaning my kitchen. Getting rid of expired food, like cooking stuff. Surprised me! I found a bundled,.. golden syrup, sodas, some flours and also 2 boxes of teas. Ya, it gave me satisfaction, 1)getting rid of old stuff. 2)the containers and cabinets compartment all wiped. 3) rearranged..*wink* So, tak masak. But, called up 'Murni Discovery' *new restaurant* ordered some food and collected 20 minutes later..settled! Tak payah susah2.

Oats, flour and mixed nuts and raisins.

Dinner, thought of eating bread, but my nephew Taqi and family came. To celebrate the New Year with us, tak kan makan roti kut! So, bought nasi Lemak kukus and Yong Tau foo at Pasar Malam. At least, kenyang sikit kan! No pictures taken.


I had left out photos of dinner that I cooked during the New Year Eve.

Roasted Chicken with gravy, Boiled Pumpkins and mushroom
fried with veges.

Hubby and me makan dengan Nasi.

Hope that you enjoy viewing. Good Night and Sweet Dreams!!

Goodbye 2010! Welcome 2011!

"Happy New Year 2011!"
2010 has come to it's end. Everyone, I'm sure had gone through good and bad memories along the year. But that had passed and hopefully the coming years bring us better things in life insyallah! The painful incident that happened to our family had taught us to be somehow appreciative of every minutes and seconds that we shared as a family.
And lots of lesson learned what life was all about. Though, we were tested, but ought to be thankful to the Almighty Allah Subhanawataala, yang masih menyayangi kami, dan yang telah memberikan kekuatan untuk meneruskan perjalanan hidup harian. And only He, yang maha mengetahui setakat mana kesabaran yang boleh kami tanggungi and the strength to carry on. Semoga hari hari yang akan datang di berkati dengan amalan dan kebajikan.

May the New Year 2011 brings us good life, good health, joy, prosperity and most of all Iman!

To all bloggers out there, I'm wishing you 'Happy New Year and May God bless us always!'

Sakit lagi!!

Hello there! I baru recovered from an upset tummy and irritable bowel. More than a week. And was on soft diet..agak lama makan macam baby. I had to sacrifice my favourite food. Huk! huk,huk! No coffee, no sugar, no oily stuff and no chillies until the diarrhea stopped completely.
After a few days, I gradually started eating back the normal food. While I was downed sicked, my son Syazwan pulak had a fall during watching football at Bukit Jalil. He sprained his leg...bengkak gila! Tengok tu, ada tiga orang sakit dalam rumah. So Fifa had to do not only the housework but became a driver as well,...kesian!

Today, as usual fetched hubby and he wanted to have lunch at Dave's Deli in One Utama, Alamak! dah lama menahan, boleh makan dah kut..after all, perut dah tak sakit. Bismillah hirrahman nirohim...semoga makanan tu jadi penawar, and wallup!
Look at what we had. Sedap gila! honestly, especially the gravy. Do try.

Cerita tak habis lagi...
Fifa and me were already at One Utama before fetching hubby back from physio. Since lots of shops were having sale, got a few blouses for Fifa. Then, we walked passed Cold Storage and saw a few people gathered outside the supermarket. We stopped, trying to be *kepo* There will be a sale of about 50% on all the items *Leftovers Christmas* Things like chocolates, hampers and cakes. But the thing was, it only start at late afternoon. Dan yang paling best, you could put aside your picks and claim later...dahsyat kan. So, I did. And fortunately, when hubby wanted to have lunch there,, oh! senang lah ambik and bayar terus. I macam mengila, merebut rebut, belum lagi kalau kat Boxing Day!
Lihat lah barangan nya.

Everything was from Australia.

Three boxes of this cake.

And also three boxes of this. Kalau teringin, sila lah kerumah!!

Ala, sayang yang ini, ada Cognag dalam ingredient,
so had to give away.
