Come Sunday (19 November, 2006), Yan and I will be celebrating our 13th anniversary!! Thirteen wonderful and glorious years of our lives. Memetik kata orang tua-tua:
"Seorang isteri bukanlah hak milik seorang lelaki. Seorang isteri ialah anugerah kepada seorang suami." Spot On.
Thank You, Azian Hasan - my lover, my wife, my best friend, my adviser and ..... my life.

How Do You Know You’re Being a Good Parent?
Found this on the web semasa boring-boring kat office tadi….. (the ones in red are my additional two-cents). It says that you are an inspired parent...
Ø When you help your kids with their schoolwork (err, ada ker aku buat ni? But Yan definitely ada buat ni)
Ø When you take an interest in their hobbies (we more or less share hobbies – reading, surf the Internet and watching TV, okay ler kot)
Ø When you show affection to your wife/husband in front of them (ooooh this we do all the time…sampai Alia and Asma dah immune tapi Arissa masih tak dapat menerima haikat kehidupan sebenar)
Ø When you advocate that they speak to you and each other respectfully (mestilah kan walau we had to remind them over and over and over again)
Ø When you just enjoy being with your children and them with you (Definitely and it works both ways in our family)
Ø When your son or daughter comes running to you when they get hurt (usahkan “hurt” berkelahi sesame sendiri pun selalunya kita orang kena involve jugak)
Ø When your calendar is full of things to do with your children (our calendar is ONLY full of things to do with our girls)
Ø When you calmly and gently discipline your children without yelling or screaming (ada ker parents yang sabar ala–ala malaikat ni?)
Ø When you tuck your children into bed at night and tell them "I love you" and pray with them (always, all the time, every night)
Ø When you drive your kids to school in the morning (hari-hari, okay. Bukan takat hantar, ambik pun sekali)
Ø When you make Saturday/Sunday morning breakfast for them (For Yan, its daily okay not just weekends. Kalau weekend, selalunya mamak kat Restoran Melur take over buat breakfast for us)
Ø When you give your children responsibilities and chores (bagi, jangan tak bagi – nanti dewasa tau buat kerja and tau nak bawak diri)
Ø When you help your kids with their schoolwork (err, ada ker aku buat ni? But Yan definitely ada buat ni)

Whirlwind Road Trip!!!
We spent the weekend on the road. It started on Saturday and ended on Monday night. Penat ooo! But it was fun still. Met a lot of people along the way........ and the food we encountered.... sinful, really.
First, we left home (dlm hujan2 lebat giler) on Saturday petang around 3pm for Taman Tun where we attended my cousin Kak Mah and Abang Jahudi's open house. That nasi yang dimasak bersama kambing was simply outrageous. And the laksa asam really outstanding.
Then we made our way across town to Gombak to rumah Anom, another cousin. Lihatlah rumah dia yang amat interesting and very the nice - courtesy of her husband Nasir. Impressive giler. Anybody looking to do landscaping for their house, Nasir is the person you want to engage. 
Kat dalam rumah (its a single storey to begin with), Nasir has built a loteng (dua tingkat lagi). The girls went ga ga over the loteng. Alia siap feeling jadi Nirina Zubir lagi (as in her character in Heart). Tapi time nak turun, haru biru ler pulak... especially Asma.
After makan, its duit Raya time with Wan Anom. Siap ada birthday gifts (belated) from Wan Anom and Opah Wan. And Anom, the mee goreng was sedap sangat. And the cute lemang tasted really well. After rumah Anom, we went back to Temoh. Spent overnight there before we made our way to rumah Meor in Jelapang, Ipoh on Sunday.
This is Meor Adi Fimiyun. Just tell me how can a baby boy be cuter than this? Such a friendly baby pulak tu. Memula dia takut tengok Ayah Ngah dia, agaknye terkejut tengok orang besar bagai monster... tapi nasib baik tak lama..
Arissa and Adi and their abah (just look at Adi, bijak ler sangat rupa dia)
Makan-makan di rumah Meor. Masak steak ayam you. Sedap bangat.
especially this potato salad
lepas makan, pergi membongkangkan diri kat living room while bebudak layan Naruto on TV. Eh cantik ler pulak plaster siling kat rumah Meor and Rina ni.
Lepas rumah Meor, kita orang gi Penang ler pulak. Yes, Penang. Rumah sapa lagi kalau tak rumah Ayah Anjang and Wan. Yun pun ada lagi - belum balik rumah dia lagi.
And Yun masak this original pizza yang empat segi. Sebab dia tak jumpa piza base, dia ganti ngan roti Gardenia jer. Sedap sangat.... ish makan, makan dan makan ajer.
On Monday, while I went for my appointment in Bayan Baru, the girls snap snap pix kat rumah Tok Anjang depa. Ini Asma and Arissa.
.... dan Alia
Dalam pukul 3 kami bertolak pulang through the feri, atas permintaan the girls...
and the ferry ride never fails to amaze the girls... very the pelancong!

Open House in Bangsar
Walau hujan turun mencurah2, kami pergi jugak. Lagipun Kak Embun beria-ia menjemput. Lagipun Yan tak payah ler masak dinner. Best ooo!!
