Balik Kampung!

-
The last time I balik-ed kampung was probably in March? April?

See, it's been a while now that I can't even remember anymore



We left about 9ish this morning and YIPPEE!!! the highway was CLEAR!! 

Oh yeah.. It's the Hari raya Haji Holidays today too!




Since the kids were asleep, [my kids are fantastic travellers!] and husband was listening to his Oldies from England, I decided to take out my Kindle and try to finish off my book.. Before I knew it, we crossed the Johor border and I didn't even realize it!! So fast??!! To think I wanted to take a picture of it too ☹️

Anyway, stopped at the Tangkak rest house and FYI!! they are upgrading it so the parking is limited. And by limited I mean probably 10 cars park at the side of the road and it will create a massive traffic jam so if you are one of those who kenot tahan  your wee anymore, I suggest you stop at the one before or after Tangkak! (Even more so during this coming weekend when EVERYONE else will be traveling back )

Reached our taman... and it started to rain.. decided to tapau lunch and headed to my parents place... Heart was kinda dup dap dup dap-ing coz well, I kinda got a tattoo a few months back (will blog about this soon!) and also kinda didn't tell my parents about it.. was living by the hashtag of #nagdieme.. 

Parents noticed tattoo.. didn't say much.. you know why? Coz my parents are cool like that.. hahah and also due to the fact that I am 35 years old.. but my dad did say :

"If God wanted you to have art on you, you would have been born with it"



my reaction to that...

So now, what to have for dinner..

For the longest time, since I can remember, both my sister and me have always had a long long long long list of food to have whenever we came back! The list usually consists of:

My List:

1. Wantan Mee - extra cili
2. Kuey Teow Kia
3. Goreng Pisang and Kopok Lekor
4. Chai Tau Kueh - extra cili also

Mainly these 4, then my husband will always tambah... Frog.. and then Nasi Briyani (Only From Kassim!!)



Right now, my eldest is making  A LOT OF NOISE  which is ruining my concentration.. in her very high pitched voice some more!!!

Well, I'll end this post with:

SELAMAT HARI RAYA HAJI!!!

[will update pics of food tomorrow, if I remember to take them later]

So after that really long hiatus due to The Eldest's final exams, I finally have the time to sit and blog about absolutely nothing at all.. once again... Oh God the exam stress was really bad for me but then again maybe I brought this onto myself.. by having kids. I know.. I know.. many others would say just let her go and do the exams  but as a parent, shouldn't we help them prepare for it if we know that it would help them a lot more? For me it was the cooking 3-4 meals a day that really made me tired!!!  Coz brain food needs to be shoved into every brain cell for at least a month nearing exam periods....  Now, she can live off junk food for a while.... So far the very few results that she's gotten back are alright.. but then I realized her teacher's kinda have higher expectations than me! And mine are already sky high. Thing is, we know she can do it.. we know she can score fantastically IF SHE STOPS HER SILLY MISTAKES PHASE. God, please le...

Kids, Kids and Kids.

It's Monday. Nothing happened yesterday. It was a typical Sunday in this household. Woke up early, sent the eldest for Taekwondo, came home, did laundry, went out for lunch, came back, was on my Kindle for most of the day.. finished off two books! ( yes I am a bookworm) Eldest has a history project that is due on the 12th.. but she finished it off yesterday so she has time to let her teacher check through it and correct it if there are any mistakes. Have you ever realized that going out, or the prep before going out takes way much longer when you have kids? Before kids.. going out consists of about 10 minutes where you just change your clothes and **poof** you're out the door. After kids.... wake them up, shower the youngest, give them some food in case they get hungry on the way out, pack their water bottles, wonder where your phone is, about to leave then your youngest decides " Oh! I need to bring some blocks along with me .." proceeds to...

I miss him whole lot but I know he's having a blast where ever he is... Happy Birthday Uncle Mau! You Seybok! In conjunction with his birthday, and my Grandma's in March.. also in loving memory of them.. I got this done during the weekend. Blue, is grandma, and it also represents luck...  Red is Uncle Maurice, and it also represents eternal happiness... But I swear the next time I do something that reminds me of someone... THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT IN COLOUR BECAUSE IT REALLY HURTS AND STAB DIE ME. Doing this means I got to see Lina! yap yap yap all the way la two of us...  There was this guy there with me who was getting the name of his wife on his spine..
