1001 Tales of THE-KEK™

Its the last day of 2009.

Few highlights. I cant make it for these events. a) Munawarrah Fashion Event b) Nuffnang Friso Gold Day Out.
Will be leaving for another family getaway tomorrow 3d 2n somewhere around. Rasa rugi jugak but well, there's always some other time. Any family getaway always something I look forward for cuma part pack and unpack tuh yang malas.

I am still working. When u are in project team, year end ker, raya ker, mana ada cuti. Cuti wajib jela. Thank god i have a good team to support when I went for my various trips this year. Chewah macam org byk duit ajer ayat. Amin..

Anyhow, this year has been great. Seriously 2009 is a great year on my home front.Kalau I mention satu-satu mcm dpt award. But some worth mentioning was my promotion at work, various travel trips that really broaden my horizon, the kids are doing very good, hubby also doing well at work. Alhamdulillah.

Well, whatever it is, I hope it is a good one for everyone too. And here's hoping for a better 2010 for every THE KEK's reader. Have a good extended weekend. And I shall still be writing as time permits.

Toodles.

Well, tutuplah sudah kisah ubat penenang stress saya ittew ok. Let's move on to some entry wajib bila balik berjalan. Entry Perth ari tuh pun tak abis. Saya macam mogok di tengah jalan. Anyway ada org baca ker nih?

A quick one. After all, saya pegi singapore yang mana not an alien to majority of my blog reader. But Singapore, year end, xmas totally MACET with big capital of sesak banget. Bukan macet kereta, macet ngan orang. But crowd, shop, sale are my language so I kind of mix well ala2 mcm red velvet cuppies yang sedap dr Just heavenly. Apa motip?

Day 1
Landed at Changi ard 2pm. Arrival at hotel dah 3pm. Checked in and refresh, solat and etc. By 4 we're on our foot heading out to Orchard Rd. We stayed nearby only. It's raining pretty badly, so sempat buat mall hopping ke Forum dan jenguk-jenguk HRC, Sg. Then just sneak a peek at the lines of mall in orchard. Depa siap tutup jalan, and one thing i notice most buildings esp. the malls very nicely built. Design wise. Not the usual, bangunan tinggi and thats it. Sukela. And I got my birthday gift malam ni. The big one. 30 minutes of queing ok no joke depan ION Mall tuh sabo jelah. We had dinner at the hotel.

Pagi-pagi dah ke Mustafa Centre. Gilos tpt nih. Open 24 hour u and it is like u have Mydin, Best Denki, ISetan, Kinokuniya, Harvey Norman, JJ, Habib Jewel and everything. All under one roof. 6 tingkat kot, and sprawl so big macam JJ wangsa Maju tuh. Gilos. Dr kul 9 kul 2 ptg pun x abis explore. Corelle pun ada babe. Highlight of the trip, got IPOD Touch 32GB for hubby at almost RM350 cheaper than KL price. Beat that. Kewl. Souvenir and fridge magnet damn reasonable here. Silalah beli kat sini for souvenir. Chocolates also dan damn cheap. Lunch at one of the beriani shops and its started to rains baikkk sekali. So we've decided to go back to the hotel first.

After Asar, we head to Merlion Park. Took the obligatory pictures of the lion and esplanade. Then we walked heading to Suntec and witness the largest Well of Wishes. Cantik. Just stroll along and time to hit Orchard Rd for boxing time. :P Ya Allah ramai nyer org. And this time, I secured the wallet. Contemplating in between Pomme D Amour but suddenly ada change of heart and settle for Amarante. Its the highlight of the trip to Orchard lah..

Day 3
POI for the day is Bugis Street. Pusing keluar masuk kedai. Ala-ala Petaling Street la. Bought obligatory I "heart" Sg tshirt. Then we walked down to Arab Street and inilah masanya untuk the infamous Murtabak ZamZam. Mmg sedap tak ingat ok. Anyone going to Sg, pls buy for me and frozen it. I mahu lah..Then we all tershopping silk and cotton plak kat kedai-kedai kain depan tuh. :P Opsss..


And another round of Orchard. Manusia Ya Allah mmg ramai. Mana datang ntah sume org. The kids sib baik ok, tak cranky sgt. Mall pulak bersusun-susun tak tau mana satu nak masuk but i guess we covered like 3/4 of the malls ada yg we passed out jugak sbb dah too full people. Those designer boutiques especially LV confirm kena que and barang pun byk sold out. Gilos kan. And I guess I fall in love with Uniqlo. :P We stayed there untill dah tak boleh angkat kaki nak jalan. Last-last tahan taxi balik. :P Then just lepaking at next door mall, makan ampang yong taufoo. Heaven.


Day 4
Lps breakfast the kids pi swimming pool. Hubby, myself and khazin did another Orchard. Pusing Ion lagi sekali kot-kot regret kalau tak pick up apa-apa. Then we just spend few more moment browsing at Wheelock. Masuk M&S, Levis, Monsoon and Accesorize. 50% off ok. KL tak sale kan. Then singgah HRC jap bought few more short glass and terus balik hotel. Kemas-kemas and checked out.

Sampai airport, first thing claim GST utk segala belian. Anything for SGD100 in 1 receipt or u can combine 3 receipt in 1 single day from same shop u can get 7% back for the GST. So amatlah berbaloi.

Dat kind of conclude the trip. Personally, I kind of like it. Esp. those sale time la. Kire adalah option utk shopping selain KL kalau tak dpt gi memana. Choices wise mmg lagi byk but it can be more expensive off course due to xchange rate. Tapi, tahun depan kita gi during GSS pulak k  boleh tak yang??


Nnt i tulis sikit entry pasal shopping and makan ok...

despite numerous trips and holidays, still mode kerja tak muncul jua.

But work still need to be delivered cuma passion tuh ada sikit menurun.

How now brown cow?

ps: Travelogue kota singa bakal muncul..tunggu la yerrr

Sesungguhnya malam yang akan datang menjanjikan tidur yang lebih lena selepas di prescribe oleh ubat penenang 'stress' ini..

back from singapore-kota keriangan..

The damages is as great as the throng of people on Orchard on xmas day...

I tell u, mmg fantastic. Orangnya, crowd nya...

Nevertheless, the trip was worth every single bit of it. Not only I got to spend time with the families, but I finally claim my birthday gifts. :P

Later u ols.. Baru lepas unpack and I want my bed and pillow now...

I tot the last post will be my LAST post before the festive season begins.

But I could not help it but to blog about this. I've blog about her. And 2 days ago, she posted this picture and I am so loving it. She's dressed all in chanel and she.is.so.gorgeous.

I never failed to visit her blog and maybe you will love it too..

I cant seems to login to my own blogger. 

dekat mana makan best dekat singapore, sapa boleh habaq mai, sila bagitau..tolonggggg

somehow benda alah ini pun mcm lawa kan..

dream on elin..dream on...

Hari nih mmg mode nak being vain ok.

So, look at these beauty. Got it at the duty free during my recent trip. :P

Konon suh jaz bayarkan dulu, kaedahnya nak treat diri sendiri for my birthday. Tak abis lagi kisah birthday. Dah ala-ala diva pencen, so sepanjang disember nih kire birthday lah kan. so masih tak terlambat utk kamu semua belikan saya birthday present. :P ecehh.. selingan tak sudah..berbalik kisah suruh suamiku bayar, but bila sampai rumah, alah b, kire u belanja lah erkk.. :P Thank u b...

Tapi kan, mmg best lah benda nih. Macam peghak pulak. Tapi baru 2 kali calit nih, nak kena pi belajar make up dulu. Yelah all these while, I only tenyeh lipstick only. hat lain x tau menahu how meh...

But as i said, I am loving this BIG time....

A lot has been happening over the extended weekend. But I am not to dwell on it.

My lil boy is not well. And I am not liking it. I get paranoid easily when my kids not well. I turns into grumpy mother and everything doesnt seems right. Aint most mother like that? or am i all alone feeling like this.

Anyway, enough on that. I'll be on 2 days course right smack in Sun*way. Bercinta okeh nak dtg course in this area. Everything like hafta reroute and replanning. But well one goota do what is needed to deliver her work right.

But the highlight of these entry just to another vain post of my 'kecundang' di medan shopaholic. Terjebak jua diri ku ini...buktinya...

my latest addition, tudung twist. gara-gara Aliya in Nurkasih, aku terjebak....sib baik tokey tuh bagi extra discount on top of the discount given, merasalah akak merembat lebih dr apa yg di calculate sebelum turun ke kedai...

Toodles peep.

I found something similar on your hunt for the bling bling..

Khilfi is not well for the past 2 days.

So, I could not stand it not having him by my side.

By the time you are reading these, we are on our way to reunited with the boy. Tak tahan nak tunggu d deal to let he be in Kt till Friday. Tak sabar nk peluk cium anak sulung i tuh.. rindu okeh

..for my standard.

I truly having a hard time to finish the smallest size of them all.

But it was so sweet, very juicy and fresh.

And bila nak balik KL, we bought back 2 kgs of them and ptg tuh jugak I grill them using Chefel off course. 3 minutes only.




Quick How to..
1) Marinate the udang with salt, pepper and garlic. And put butter on chefel masuk udang, in 3 minutes ready to eat.

2) But before that I marinate 3 pieces of chicken(one each, myself, hubby and Khazin) with some mix veggies and potatoes. Marinate with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon with dash of herbs rosemary and thyme. Bila angkat those chicken and veggies, i put a dash of butter and 4 big spoon of cream so jadilah cream sauce.

3) lps tuh baru i put another dash of butter and letak udang itu. Sume using chefel. Senang.

Dinner ready in 15 minutes, minus the marinate time of about another 15minutes. senang kan.

This is not a paid advertorial but more a "KHIDMAT MASYARAKAT" thingy.

This months is my ultimate travel months. I've been going in-out KLIA on weekly basis already flying to Perth, KT and more KT trips this weekend and another trip this xmas.

And imagine my horror on Sunday morning en-route Perth where the check-in lines at KLIA was like ULAR KENA PALU. We were kind of blessed due to our enrich members benefit as we can check in at Enrich counter and mmg takde org. But for those who didnt have one, recommended for you to go and register and in the mean time go and checked out the web check in. Ever since I knew about it, I've been doing it like 3rd times already. It may not be a big deal for you but it was for me.

Like last Friday, I checked in from house at 10am while doing my packing and cooking at 'cafe world' . Our flight was at 250pm. So we were like berlenggang kangkung. Reached KLIA at 130pm. Just go to dedicated lines just to deposit your luggage for check in and get your luggage tag. Easy peasy kan.

Thank god for WEB CHECK IN.

So here how are u going to do it..

1) Key in your identification
2) Key in your passenmger details (if u travel in group just key in 1, and it will retrieve all passenger names, there a check box to check in all. Maximum 9 person)
3) Select your flights
4) Confirm your APIS ( I cant remember what is this but very easy, your enrich card-if applicable, choose your seat for free and etc)
5) Confirmation detail (check on all your boarding pass, recommendate to print but if u dont also fine as you can go to the counter during bag check in to get your boarding pass)

Easy peasy. I like.

Anak sulung saya wants to experience what truly balik kampung is.

He decided to stay put in KT and make us promised to pick him this Friday.

So now I need to find a way to go back to KT and be in KL again by Friday afternoon as we are going to another weekend getaway.

Yet, truly speaking, I misses my boy badly. He only used for a 1 night stay boot camp in Keram*at and I did outstation work but I know he will be with my hubby. And during my Hajj trip for 46 nights we were away. but these time is purely different. Ishh, cepatlah jumaat.

Day 3

Its another round of city shopping. Checked out King's Street for its high end branded goods. Do some mental check and calculation and its for us to decide later. Then we get back to town, another round of Target and the shops surrounding and etc. By lunch time, we hop on the red bus and depart to Harbour town. kakakakakak. Whats new in my dictionary, shopping is in my blood. Another round of ISPA Kebab and just mingle in the shops until it almost closed. We had scones and latte for tea and lets the boys had fun running around catching up the birds nearby the fountain area. Quite a scenery. Hop on the bus to the city and just walked back to the hotel with tapau food from our official shop. :P

Day 4

Highlights of the day :- (Swan Bell, Wheel of Perth, St. Barrack Jetty, Sorrento Quay, Hillarys Harbour, AQWA, King's Park and Subiaco)

1) berjalan kaki dr hotel via Terrace Rd, singgah Supreme Court Garden. The kids having fun and then continuie strolling alongside Riverside Road along Swan River. A very astonished view. Then we reached the Barrack Jetty.

2) Highlights kat St. Barrack Jetty is The Swan Bell Tower and also Wheel of Perth (WOP). We entered Swan Bell but we don't go upstairs. We asked Efi to choose either one, so he choose The Wheel of Perth. The view on WOP was superb. I could not explain it. It was just super nice.


3) After WOP, we just hand around, feeding the birds, and snap picture and sit on the bench facing swan river viewing the South Perth. We planned to take the ferry to cross it on our last day. The kids are having fanta-bulous time.

4) Took the CAT on Blue Line, so got the chance to view the Mt. Bays area nearby Kings Park. So kire dpt some snippets of King's Park. Lunch at Oleh-Oleh cafe and walked back to hotel to get our rental car as they drop it at the hotel.

5) got the car and we head straight to Hillary's Boat Harbour, Sorrento Quay about 25km from Perth. It was nice, breathtaking and eye opener. The local was saying its like Beverly Hills of Perth here, from the point of the big houses there. The harbour view was awesome. And we also entered AQWA. Click on the link to know more about AQWA.

6) After AQWA and more picture snapping, we head back to the city and had a great lazying around at King's Park. Serious King's park nih lawa amat. It's the largest city park in the world. kalah Hyde Park, but it is beautiful. Yang spoilt nyer, battery camera kaput kat sini. Dang! dah byk sgt amik gambar rasanya. :P
7) From King's Park, we just do a closing for the day at Subiaco about 3 km from the city. It was very nice. very teratur and kedai pun byk kat sini. Had coffee at Dome and just stroll along the suburb. And that kind of close the day. Dinner was lauk that we tapau from Oleh-oleh and I cooked the rice in the hotel.

So, ada lagi lah sambungan sbb akak dah x larat nk update. :P boleh terima lagi ker??? :P
