A Journey to Remember

Pont Neuf

Last Sunday, we went to ‘Jardin de Pont Neuf’ near the town. In French, ‘jardin’ means ‘park’ and ‘Pont Neuf’ means ‘Ninth Bridge’. ‘Pont Neuf’ is significant to Toulouse which is one of the Toulouse landmarks other than Capitole. The history behind it is the
construction for the bridge took almost a century. One of the funny
reason it took so long to finished because there is a difference of 10
meters between the left and the rights banks. Hehe. Long time ago,
flooding of the ‘Garonne’ (big river) destroyed all the previous
bridge, but this one has been in place for four centuries because of
its tunnels above the arches, allow water to flow away during the
floods. If we see with bare eyes, it just a simple bridge but the truth
is its have historical value. It shows how intelligent was the ancient
architect. Owh yeah.. this entry is not purposely to reveal the history
about the bridge, just wanna share some pictures of us when we were
there. Actually, we always been there because of its peaceful and now
the garden is officially be our ‘port’ for picnic. Hehe.. But last
week, I didn’t prepare foods to bring because of last minute planning.
Hehe, just one of the reasons to ‘pow’ my hubby for ice cream. Huhuhu..
Besides having an ice cream while witness peoples and kids around
having their fun time, we can relax our mind.

Alhamdulillah,
Farrel’s celerbrating his 5th months birthday today. Happy 5th months
birthday son!! When looking him, I couldn’t believe my hubby and I
could manage to taking care of him by our own without family members
around. Thanks a lot to our friends here who always guide and help us
whenever we need a hand. We acknowledge, without proper knowledge that
we have and experience people’s around, it could be difficult for us.
For me, I didn’t have any experience dealing with baby before except a
little help to looked my little nephew Adam (huhu, miss him so much),
but at that time I was a student, same with my hubby.

• Now,
  he can sleep independently, just put him on his cot around 1030pm,
  after 5-10 minutes he will sleep by himself. Before this, I need to
  ‘dodoi’ him before he could sleep tightly. At first, Farrel mengamuk
  juga bila biar dia sorang2 dalam cot, but now he used to it. So proud
  of you son!!
• He could hold his bottle by his own. Actually we
  did teach him since he was 2 months old or we put something to support
  the bottle, so I have chance to do other things. At the same time, I’m
  still breastfeeding him and I wish to continue until he reaches 2 years
  old. Thanks Allah, he accepts both. Some baby refuse breastfeeding when
  they used to formula milk.
• Last but not least, he really
  love to smile and laugh when we or other people around look and tickle
  him. He’s so sporting when he’s in good mood and when he’s not,
  everything could become worst. Huhu.

Buah Hati Mummy n Daddy

I’m
so happy today even I can’t closed my eyes the whole night yesterday,
just watched my 2 heroes sleep tightly. Yeah, I admit looking our
loving person while they are sleeping can reduce the stress or pressure
a.k.a. therapy for mind. Hehe. Besides that, I keep thinking how can I
live without both of you babe. Both of you are so significant in my
life. Afterwards, I keep dreaming to have a big house, own a business
and wondering how will be my life for the next 5 years, 10 years and so
on. Hoho.

Today we received three good news;

1st
- Just got our allowance from KPT (suppose to received it by the end of
this month) meaning that our shopping agenda will be more thrilling.
Kikiki.

2nd –
Received an email from my hubby’s ex-dean who wants to sell his house
in Nibong Tebal and fortunately the house is still available. Actually
one of big agenda for this year is to have our own house. In fact, we
did ask ayah to look for us a house in Nibong Tebal area since last
year and he did list out some. By considering a few factors such as
location, facilities, neighbourhood and others, we are interested in
house mentioned before. The house is Double Storey Semi-D and overall
land size is 35 by 75 feet, built size is 22 by 65 feet. The owner
already make a lot of renovations such as extension for wet kitchen,
use high quality ceramic for floor tiles, fixed stairs and 2nd floor
with floor board system, kitchen cabinet custom made with bar-counter,
all ceiling are plaster-crafted and the gate already installed with
automatic system. The owner moved to Selangor due to some reason and he
said that he considered the house is ‘give-a-way’. We saw the pictures
of the house and ask ‘ayah’ to ensure the house. What can I say about
the price is reasonable with the house condition. Hopefully, if our
‘rezeki’ is there so we can own the house. Really hope for that.

3^rd
- Accepted the book that we order from Amazon.com and still waiting for
another one. The book title is ‘The Choice’ written by Nicholas Spark.
I do admire the writer because the way he delivered the story is very
interesting. Another book we are waiting also written by him. Till now
we already have some from his collection.       

Ok, till then.

Latest Pic 3 of US

This
is the first posting for July, no updates since the internet has a
problem. Erm.. Actually I have no idea what should I pen here but I’ll
try my best to write since there are no updates for July yet. Just
wanna list what was happen recently;

1. Alhamdulillah, our goods arrived safely last Thursday, 3^rd
July 2008 and collected by ‘Ayah’ at MAS Cargo Penang. There are a lot
of procedures need to comply with before he could claim our boxes. Been
waiting nearly 6 hours there prior to pick up the freight. Malaysian
Customs did constrict the inspection process and we have been told by
‘Ayah’, normally they imposed 100% of tax on the value of things.
Fortunately, ‘Ayah’ discussed with MAS Cargo personnel, so that it just
cost us about RM200 (the payment of ‘duit kopi’), instead of RM5000.
Luckily, ‘Ayah’ knows how to deal with. Thanks to Ayah.

CAK!!

Mummy.. tired laaa

Mummy.. dodoilaaa.. Farrel nak sleep

2. Farrel’s
weight now is almost 7kg. “Farrel Membesar Bagaikan JUARA”. huhu.. Now,
he loves to roll his body on his ‘tapis’. The most favourite place he
likes to play is under the bed. Haha.. Banyak-banyak tempat dalam rumah, kat bawah katil paling Farrel suka. He
also loves to smile and laugh when people amuse him. Recently we give
him cereal once a day, combine with his milk. Received his first book
last Tuesday from Amazon. In fact, we wanted to buy that book at
Disneyland Paris during last vacation; bad for us, the store can’t
accept bank card because their machine is broken so we decided to order
it from Amazon where the price is cheaper.    

3. Daddy @k@ my hubby just received an email from Surrey’s
lecturer concerning his Ph. D’s application. The topic is related to
formation flying using electrostatic forces (charges) and funded by
European Space Agency. Sounds great and the responsibility is really
huge. But it’s still in discussion phase. Hope everything will be fine
till he get Ph. D. Aja aja fighting Daddy!!

"Borong" from Amazon.com

4. Me?? Hehe.. Nothing much about me. The
most satisfied and happiest thing is, I just bought new watch and
Swarovski’s bangle with 50% off respectively. The bad news is M.A.C
product have no sales at all. Huhu However I still consider buying
their products because the price is reasonable compared to Malaysia. And now, I love to bake cuppies (cup cakes) which is famous in Malaysia lately. There are variety of interesting appearance for cup cakes. I am hoping in the future I can own a business related to bakery, Insya Allah.

Ok, till then.
