farewell..

last tuesday ina & i went to Westlife Farewell Tour.. it was BRILLIANT!!  the Arena was jam packed, with their longtime fans. yg datang dengan bertongkat pun ada.  we got quite good seats, dapat tengok the boys clearly on stage.

 keane, shane, mark & nicky, pic taken from the big screen

 their rendition of "sex is on fire" was really good 

 chair lift took them to the back of the arena so that the people at the far end could see them clearly

 sad that the boys decided to go separate ways after 14 years.

sign of summer #2

happy feet..ooh oooh oooh happy feet

these would go well with jeans, maxi dresses/long skirts and baju kurung (??)..boleh lah pakai untuk raya kan?

summer is here

tanda2 awal summer sudah tiba..

forecast : mid 20s temp in the next few days  time for me to wash the winter clothes and put them away..

4 miles = sore legs

this morning i went to the park right after sending little missy to school, briskwalked/run 4 miles in total (door to door) in 1 1/2 hours.

the park spans 500 acres in total.

entered via parkside gate, round the lake, up to the nursery/arboretum in half hour, stopped for 5 minutes breather.  

 Queen of The Night/Black  tulips

lime tree avenue.. 2 minutes breather after 1 hour walk.

the field overlooking the hall

  

 got home at 10.30am, had a hearty breakfast, took a shower and started marking till 3pm.

night time : kamar had to massage my aching legs which he said have started to become a bit 'muscular'..woohoooo!!

BBQ weekend

lovely weather last weekend - sunny & warm on both days, perfect for outdoor activities around the house

 Doritos with Salsa dip

aliyah & chloe, her friend from the neighbourhood

on sunday, we went over to Ina's place in Langham - her parents and brother & family just arrived for kampong2 holiday. and we had another BBQ

 i brought dessert - strawberry shortcake cheesecake from our nearby cheesecake shop

ina tempah this lovely choc layered summer berries & cream cake for her brother's birthday. 

the wait is over

Syukur alhamdulillah, our wishes are granted.

this morning, i was hesitant to go to work early, took my own sweet time when the door bell went and Mr Posmeng delivered a registered envelope bearing my FULL NAME siap dengan binti.

THE envelope came sooner than we thought, wasnt expecting it for at least another month but there they are - all 4 passports with the supporting documents.

now that we are more certain with what's happening with our lives, we can start planning apa2 yang patut, first thing first will be the trip home for puasa & raya..

bunny

last weekend we took the kids & raudhah for bluebell walk at Bunny Nature Reserve, just 15 minutes drive from home.

lovely weather!
