Bali, Indonesia Part 5 (Final)



Hari ke 5 a.k.a final day di Bali. Check out hotel pukul 12...standardlah kan. I call kaunter try nak mintak extend dalam 1 hour or 2 tapi tak dapeklah. Hotel fully booked. Ramai betul orang datang Bali ni.
I cakap ngan En Zairin, sebelum check out kita jalan-jalan kat hotel aje la. Kita pergi swimming, pergi spa, pergi sun bathing....erkkkk....sun bathing mendenya kalau kulit saya dah sebegini rupa, katanya. Ala saja je sebut-sebut. I knowlah U dah cukup 'tanned'.

First kita terjun ke swimming pool kerana ada sorang budak kecik ni suka ngan swimming pool. Cantikkan. Ada dua bahagian, yang ni masuk-masuk jer terus nampak.




Kami ambil yang belah lagi satu sebab I nak gi massage dan spa nya sebelah swimming pool ni. Okay guys, 'uolss' berendam, I gi mengurut ye.



Ni dia spa nya, Puspa Bali.



Open air ye. Dari atas tu I boleh nampak hero-hero I. Okay mula-mula plan nak amik full body massage dan lulur tapi masa pulak tak mengizinkan. Yelah kami tak banyak masa, kang nak balik bilik buat final packing lagi nak siap-siap lagi dahnya I amik half body massage aje. Jadilah.



Lepas dah habis massage-yang-tak-berapa best tu, I turun ke swimming pool. Cari-cari takde, beg dan towel adalah...ehhhh mana pulak bapak dan anaknya pergi ni.
Cari punya cari kat pantai rupenya. Ya Allah masa ni panas terik sungguh lah mataharinya. I tak larat nak layan lama-lama jadinya duduk kejaplah bawah payung-payung tuh, sekali kena halau ko...kena bayar rupenya. I ingatkan hak milik hotel ke....hehehe.

Eh suka pulak budak ni layan pantai.





Okay, sudah-sudah masa dah cukup. Takleh layan lama-lama. Kang kelam kalibut I nak kemas-kemas. Bila dah kalut kang pening kepala pulak, mulalah nak hangin satu badan. Jadi sebelum itu semua terjadi mari kita cegah.




Ambik gambaq sat...hamboi bolatnya hang Azila oiiii.



Check out dari hotel memang kami tak tau mana nak tuju. I kata jomlah kita pergi Seminyak Square, nak tengok-tengok balik stall-stall yang jual macam-macam tu. Hari tu ada yang berkenan tapi pikir punya pikir tak ambik. Sekarang baru terasa nak.
Bila sampai jer alahai kiciwa sungguh sebab stall yang ada tak sebanyak hari tu. I tanyalah kenapa? Kakak tu kata kalau masa hujung minggu baru penuh, hari biasa sikit-sikit aja. Aduhhhh.....

Kat tempat yang lengang tu patutnya ada gerai-gerai lagi.



Tapi yang ada ini saja. Hmmmm....jadilah. Itu pun terangguk-angguk En Zairin & Azfar tunggu.
Tak dapat macam yang I idam-idamkan tapi bolehlah rembat 2 helai dress yang harganya 300,000....rupiahhhh. Lebih kurang RM 108.00. Kat sini kena rajin tawar-menawar ye. Kalau ikutkan 2 helai tu 600,000 rupiah tau. Banyak beza tu.




Memandangkan cuaca memang panas melenting, kami memang tak larat nak ronda-ronda naik motor dah. Tapi masalahnya nak pergi mana? Flight pukul 7.30 malam. Takkan nak lepak kat airport ajekan. Sambil kami menyusuri jalan yang sungguh sesak di pekan Kuta itu, tiba-tiba I ternampak satu middle east restaurant. I ajak En Zairin lepak situ dan dia 'on' aje. Tengok dari luar takde orang, memang bestlah. Masuk-masuk terus nampak table yang ada kusyen, maksudnya makan bersila dok atas kusyen tula. Ohhhh bestnya. Tapi sekali 'waitress' tuh cadangkan open air area kat belakang ni, katanya ada privacy sikit. Wahhhh memang bestlah....sesuai betul dengan keadaan kami sekarang yang tiada tempat nak dituju.



Tekak kering memang lega sangatlah dapat jus tembikai ni. Ohhh nikmat. Kami tak order ni sahaja. Kesimpulannya kami 'lunch' disitu dan kami minum petang pun disitu. Adalah dekat 4 jam jugak kami bertapa.









Ikutkan hati nak je join sama, tapi agak seganlah pulak. En Zairin pun selamat berdengkur. Jam 5 kami keluar dari situ dan terus ke hotel balik, hantar motor dan tunggu teksi...oh ye bag-bag memang tinggalkan kat lobi hotel tu. Yela takkan nak angkut semua naik motor...ape ke halnya pulak.

Kalau ikutkan dari hotel ke airport kan dalam 20 minit aja, tapi tau-tau je la traffic kat sini sungguh tragis. To be on the safe side, bertolak awal.



Kat airport ni sempat lagi rembat souveniers sebab En Zairin kata duit ada juta-juta lagi...wahhh jutawan ko ye En Zairin. Mak ai harganya pulak beza sungguhhhhh ngan kat luar tapi pejam mata yo lah.




Topi spiderman yang harganya cuma RM 5 bila convert.



Bye-bye Bali....Kami enjoy jugak percutian ini walaupun tidaklah sehebat yang disangka. Seronok sebab berpeluang melihat tempat orang dan rasa amat bersyukur dengan apa yang kami ada. 




Hujan emas di negara orang,
Hujan batu di negara sendiri,
Lebih baik di negara sendiri.

Life is Beautiful.

Actually I wrote this as note in Facebook. And I would like to share it here.


Newly-wed couple (including us 3 years back) when being asked, 'Best tak kahwin?' or 'Ok ke semua?', the common answers for sure will be....'Best gilerrrrr'....'Yesssssla of course' (nada gatal gitu).....especially to those who just came back from honeymoon trip and of course still in honeymoon mood (including us too) ....hahaha.
Sun shining.....stars twinkling....flowers blooming everywhere....I love You, You love Me being mentioned every seconds, you know that kind of feelings.

But as time goes by, from only two persons living in a house, than it becoming three, four and so on. That is when the REAL CHALLENGES will come and say 'Hi'......and in a spilt second you can see the REAL person of who your partner is. It can be seen in every angle...hehehe...

BUTTTT, please bear in mind, without CHALLENGES, life would be boring, stagnant or invaluable because married life is all about FAMILY and RESPONSIBILITIES without being paid any single cent.

And remember, as a muslim we have ALLAH SWT. Protect our relationship with ALLAH and ALLAH will protect us. In Shaa Allah.

After all, we need to support each other through thick and thin. Embrace every moment together with our significant other and we will find the happiness that cannot be changed with anything else. You would not know the feelings until you experience it.

To those who are still single, correct your 'niat' and pray to ALLAH SWT to send you your other half.


p/s : I wrote this without any intention to put negative thoughts about married life. Neither complaining about my life nor saying bad about other's life. All this came from the bottom of my heart and each one of us has different points of view.

Syukur Alhamdulillah, my husband and I are happy together with the presence of 'Ahli Syurga',
Muhammad Azfar.
Every single day, I would pray to ALLAH SWT to protect us as a family. Thank You ALLAH.



Truely,
Azilawati bt Mohammed Kamil a wife to Zairin Shah b Ahmad Suhaimi and a mother to Muhammad Azfar b Zairin Shah.





p/s :1. Instead of using the word problem, I prefer to use the word challenge.
       2. Sorry if there are any grammer mistakes. Anyone is welcome to correct me.

Bali, Indonesia Part 4



Hari ke-4. Serius sangat-sangat, I tak ingat nama tempat yang Supir ni cadangkan dan bawa kami ke sini. Yang pasti di sini ada banyak aktiviti laut. Macam-macam tapi kami ambil aktiviti yang tak perlu kami tinggalkan Azfar....ishhh tak berani u.

Masuk je kawsan ni risau I kalau-klau ada taik anjing sebab ada jugaklah dalam 2-3 ekor syok berkeliaran. Ada sekor tu pandang orang cam nak terkam..... I takut.






Okay, aktiviti yang En Zairin ambik ialah menaiki bot ke Pulau Penyu. Botnya sepesial karana bisa lihat ke dalam laut. Ada gelas kat tengah-tengah katanya. 
Ehhmmm....oklah tuh, syok jugak.





See through la sangat ko kan. Apa ni yo yo eh je. Yang kami nampak tu ha, daun-daun ke ntah rumpai laut yang dah mati. Dibilang di hadapan sikit nanti baru jernih airnya.






Waduhhhh pak, nggak jernih pun.

'Mungkin karna udah banyak bot yang lalu, jadi airnya keruh'

Apa-apalah.




Daripada sakit tengkuk I tengok bawah, baik I tengok scenery. Nampak tak disebalik awan tu, macam ada gunungkan. Itulah dia gunung Kintamani yang kami tak dapat tengok tu. Hari ini cuaca elok tapi tak sanggup la pulak kalau nak ke sana lagikan.







Inilah dia Pulau Penyu. Kat pintu masuk tu ada pulak disuruhnya 'bayar' derma sebanyak sekian..sekian, I tak ingat. Kalau derma suka hatilah nak bayar berapa pun kan, ini tak, dah ditetapkannya.



Best jugak dalam ni sebab boleh pegang macam-macam binatang. Bukan setakat penyu jer. 
First time u pegang.



Berat jugak binatang ni walaupun yang I pegang tu agak kecil. Lagi-lagi kalau dia kipaskan kakitangan dia. Azfar tu takut nak pegang tapi excited sangat bila penyu tu kibas-kibas.



Burung apa ni eh? Helangkan.



Yang ni I surrender awal-awal. Tapi I paksa En Zairin pergi bawak Azfar sekali. Yang ni Azfar tak takutlah sebab ular kan gerak perlahan je.







Habis je tour kat Pulau ni kami balik terus dan mintak Supir singgah tempat shopping-shopping. Ada satu Mall ni tapi I tak ingat jugak namanya...Suria ke ha? Tapi tak best pun sebab tak boleh nak bargainkan. Beli keychain je.




Lepas tu kami ke Jimbaran. Tempat ni popular sebab ada banyak restoran makanan laut dan sambil-sambil makan tengok matahari terbenam. Memang banyakkkkkk pun. Sepanjang-panjang pantai itu. 
Walau kami amat terliur dengan hidangan-hidangan yang ada tapi tekak terasa tak lalu...tak confidentlah...hehehee. Jadi jalan-jalan sahaja sambil ambik bau.




Jumpa dengan orang jual jagung. Nampak sedap sangat lagipun perut laparkan. I pun ajak En Zairin beli. Sambil-sambil nak pilih perisa, En Zairin kata tak payahlah beli. 
Terpinga-pinga I kat situ, dahlah lapar.
Sebabnya dia nampak orang tu pegang jagung dengan tangan sahaja, kalau pegang kat tangkai takpe lagi, ni kat isi jagung itu...grrrrrr.



Maka dengan itu jalan-jalan dan tangkap gambar ajelah kerja kami. Sambil-sambil menunggu pemandangan matahari terbenam.








On the way balik kami minta supir singgah makan. Makan di Restoran Nasi Padang untuk isi perut yang dah kebulur dan berkeroncong ni. Mula-mula nak singgah Natrabu tapi macam ramai la pulak. Perut ni dah tak boleh nak tunggu. Jadinya selang beberapa blok ada satu Restoran yang tak ramai orang. Okaylah. Lepas makan kita balik.

Sampai hotel, kami mandi dan keluar balik. Jalan-jalan naik motor di Kuta town. Nak pergi tengok monumen tempat yang kena bom dulu. Mula-mula tak jumpa benda ni. Pusing balik dan tanya polis kat tengah-tengah jalan tu. Perhati betul-betul baru jumpa.

Kat Kuta ni banyak betul tempat bersuka ria. Along the way memang pub and disco. And mat salleh is so melambak-lambak. Memandagkan tak ada apa yang boleh kami lakukan kat sini dan En Zairin pun malas nak turun jalan-jalan, tambahan pula Azfar pun dah lentok, kami pun balik hotel terus.





Kembali ke Zaman Kanak-Kanak Riang

During the longgggg School Break recently, my nieces and nephews 'balik kampung' to spend their holidays. It was for 5 days 4 nights only. And the 'kampung' is in Shah Alam..... the word 'kampung' sounds so far far away...hikhikhik....my parents house. The house where the three of us is staying too. 

Eidlan is not joining....sob...sob...sob because he had asthma attack few days before and is still under supervision by both of his parents. Qaleesya? She's too small to join the 'tunggang langgang' group. Minimum age is 2 years++.

So here they are, including Azfar. Pity Azfar because he himself sometimes get isolated by them. Yang lain-lain dah besar, jadi ada je la aktiviti yang tak boleh ngam. Dan Azfar pun kadang-kadang cranky tak tentu pasal.....biasalah. If that situation happened, Nina as the eldest among them will be the rescuer. 

Another thing, my nieces and nephews have their own 'partner'. It goes like this,

Nina & Qistina
Hakeem & Eidlan
Elina & Eiman

Azfar & ??

Nobody!! The youngest is Qaleesya and she is still too small for his age. That is why he is always being left out....hahahaha. Nasib badan.




The first activity that they had was hide & seek. The house was like sooo noisy with them screaming and shouting but I found it fun and exciting.

Below pic is Hakeem. The biggest among all and he managed to find a strategic spot to hide.....under the sofa. It was the longest hiding because none of them could ever think that he would be under there....hahahaha....good job.

In this activity, Azfar did not want to hide and will be just standing near their hiding spot. Kantoilah sayang oiii.



Second activity was 'Teng-teng' . It was my very own idea because I remembered Azfar's washable crayon. When I start to scribbled on the floor they were so panic as if it is the end of the world.

'Uchu conteng atas lantai!!'

'Uchu, boleh hilang ke ni?'

I was being attacked with questions in panic tone....hahahaha so cute. Then when I do the magic by erasing the drawing using baby wipes, they get even excited.

'Wahhhhh.....eh hilang laaaa'

A minute after that, I can see more and more scribbles being done

Okay, enough of scribbling. Let's start the game. We drew the box together. And at the same time, Azfar also wants to draw the box.....haishhhh....box with 'senget-benget' lines.



They were quite pissed off with Azfar especially Eiman and Elina because whenever the object is thrown in the 'teng-teng'  box, Azfar will take and run away with it. They were distracted with his action.
 At one time, I can see Eiman's 'bestnya-kalau-dapat-tumbuk' face expression.....



The third activity is swimming.
This young man can wait and was extremely excited to go to the swimming session on the next day. He does not want to let go the goggle and has been wearing it all night. 

'Apa cuming' (Azfar swimming)




It was fun and of course they had fun.


Excluding myself because I tripped in front of the sitting crowd while holding on Azfar's hand who is about to trip and at the end both of us stumbled on the slippery floor....yuckkkssss.....arghhhhh.....end of the story.
