Nesting

A bird is trying to make a nest from a lose but sturdy string at my backyard. It creates a lot of mess with twigs and dried leaves strewn all over and a daily dose of bird shit on the floor of the backyard.
As much as I am an animal lover, it is no doubt [...]

On a brand new year

I promised myself not to be a news junkie but it is kind of tough when the first day of the new Hijrah year we woke up to the news of the Gaza attacks.
Quoted :
We have nothing against Gaza residents, but we are engaged in an all-out war against Hamas and its proxies,” Barak said [...]

Putting the kettle on like Polly

Kalau kail panjang sejengkal, lautan dalam usah diduga.
Funny that of all things that crossed my mind, that peribahasa had to be the one. Just now we welcomed the new Hijrah year in the Islamic calendar and in a matter of a few days, the Gregorian calendar too will turn new. For the past few days [...]

And it is free

I love it here that we can take weekend trips to waterfalls within an hour’s drive from our place. Usually we would go to Camang in Pahang, around 1.15 hr drive from our place. Or trek up a bit in Ulu Langat and look for the Pangsun river. Yesterday we were brought to a new [...]

Of Happiness

We tried our best to make her happy as both of us are the only family she has here. Since she is not going to be back to her hometown this season, we tried to well, at least replicate it for her here.

All I want for Christmas is…

Yesterday the mother-in-law called from wherever she was asking what do I think the husband–her son would probably like for Christmas this year. She had called the husband with the same question for me on another occasion, which I guess explains the 3 new floral potted plants delivered to the house yesterday afternoon. So I [...]

Dulu dan sekarang

This year end has been surprisingly busy.
I thought it would be lull. But hey, super kiasu parents are not only where I came from, so it seems. The parents here have eerily morphed into the kind of parents I would rather not cross path with back home. Even though they were everywhere like some species [...]

… and he lives on

He was almost dying some months ago. When this entry was written, we were prepared to lose him.
But he fought on then with all his life. And he lives on to look like this now…
Fat and fluffy just like his brother, Milo…
That’s our fiesty Tito. The Tito who almost died but lives on to be [...]

Tis a season…

The best part about being here this time of the year is halal Christmas buffets in the hotels here.
We’ve booked to meet the mother-in-law for x’Mas lunch @ Gobo and after that, Charles Dicken’s The Christmas Carol, by who else but the good people of KL Pac.
I am so looking forward ( for the food [...]
