The Couplehood Journey of a Distort Soul....

Days of Family sickness recovering....

Monday
We started our journey from Taiping by 9am and we reached Shah Alam by noon; and we immediately send Arief to Little Caliphs for his Silat Reheasal. We then went straight to Poliklinik Damai Seksyen 7 for my medicine and we went home for lunch; home cooked meal from my mom. I opted to sleep after lunch for some needed rest. 

Tuesday
I was still not feeling well and I was supposed to send Arief to his Silat presentation at Little Caliphs this morning. But Arief upon seeing me not feeling well opted to stay at home to watch over me instead of going to his Silat presentation.  I was feeling very dizzy from the medicine and fever and was just spending most of the time laying on the sofa while Arief continue to play with his PSP & iPad nearby. I manage to push myself at noon and we went to Shah Alam Mall where we sent our WISH for detailing and we bought Mcd & KFC's for our lunch. Arief continue to eat his lunch while I opted to just rest on the sofa downstairs.

Wednesday
I'm feeling a bit better but Arief started to cough and running a slight fever.  I took him to Poliklinik Damai for his medicine and send him to Little Caliphs by 10am. I then went to One Utama to watch Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal with my sister + Abg D + Iffah. I was so hungry that I ate fish & chips at the cinemas with popcorn. I picked up Arief by 3pm and went for our lunch at Restoran Ayam Kampung Seksyen 7. We had to drive to Menara TM to pick-up Eliza in the evening as the Aveo alarm is not functioning properly; lucky for us the traffic was clear. But Eliza's is sick and we immediately went to Poliklinik Damai for her medicine.

Thursday
Both Eliza & Arief is resting at home and I went to play tennis at Seksyen 7 Shah Alam with a few of my friends. I bought roti canai & roti krim from Eliza & Arief for their breakfast. I finish my tennis at 11am; tired but in need of the exercise. We ended up having our lunch at 2.30pm at Restoran Famous Thai Shah Alam Mall. We opted for Cantonese Kueh Teow with Pineapple Fried Rice & Claypot Taufoo.

Friday 
Eliza opted to go to the office while I spend the day with Arief; going for breakfast at Restoran Hakim Seksyen 7 as Arief wanted to have the fried chicken. Arief is still not feeling well and he has a slight fever in the evening. I do need to monitor his condition and if it still persist then we have to bring Arief to visit Poliklinik Damai tomorrow morning.

Kenduri di Matang...

I was not feeling very well today due to rambutan and durian that I consume yesterday night. Arief woke up early and play helicopter with Ilyas & Irfan at our courtyard. We went to Matang by noon; and arrive just is time for the doa selamat. The meal was superb; ala nasi kenduri with nasi minyak + kari daging + ayam masak merah + daging rendang + kerabu perut and my mom prepared bubur kacang with durian. We thoroughly enjoy our lunch and family gathering and we went back to Pokok Assam by 4pm. I was exhausted from the mild fever and I slept until 6.30pm. We went back for dinner at Matang by 8.30pm; Arief was already sound asleep. It's the same menu and still delicious. We drove back to Pokok Assam by 10.30pm; and we need to drive home early tomorrow as Arief has a silat reaheasal for a show on 27th December :-)

Aqiqah & Taiping...

We had our morning breakfast at Mcd Seksyen 3 Shah Alam (we opted for the breakfast set) before we began our journey to Bandar Baru Bangi for my cousin's Kenduri Aqiqah for his new baby girl. We reached my cousin's in-laws house by 12.30pm; assisted via my trusted Papago GPS. We manage to arrive just in time for the cukur rambut ceremony. They served kari kambing with sambal tumis udang and gulai lemak ikan. We enjoyed our meal tremendously and we waited for my sis to arrive from Shah Alam; they arrive by 2pm due to miss-direction along the way (got lost as well). Arief then played iPad with Ilyas & Irfan while we chatted with Wan Jah & Pak Pian. Irfan has grown bigger as he has started to eat Appeton to increase his weight; evidently with his tight pants and bulging tummy. We then started our journey back to Taiping by 3.30pm from Bandar Baru Bangi. My father-in-law told me that my sister-in-law is stuck in a jam on NKVE and advises us to consider other routes; luckilly Eliza contacted her sister and the traffic jam was kinda manageable. We opted for NKVE and true enough the traffic jam is bearable and we reached Taiping by 7pm; where my mom's home cooked dinner is waiting for all of us :-)

 

La-Gomera Spanish Buffet...

We went to La-Gomera for our lunch; spanish buffet. I bought the GroupOn coupons weeks back and we manage to book our reservation. We arrived by 12.30pm and it was quite crowded. We were ushered to our table and we began selecting our meals. Arief ate the vegetable fried rice with grilled salmon. Both of us opted for grilled lamb, beef & chicken with pizza. The salad bar is quite impressive but the lamb stew was a bit smelly. They do serve a lot of seafood of which I avoided. The beverages is free-flow and the dessert is just nice :-)

TTDuta Single Super Tie-Break Tennis Championship 2011...

The day finally came; TTDuta Single Super Tie-Break Championship 2011. After weeks of planning the event was a success. Total 39 players out of 40 turn up. We had a massive breakfast pot-luck gathering with nasi lemak, kuehteow goreng, pasta, karipap, bananas, watermelon, chocolate cake, sweets & cookies, sandwiches etc. It was more of a food fest than a tennis tournament. Weather was excellent until the end @ 4pm. I won all my group games; the closest game was with Pang which I won 12-10 and was trailing 9-6 it I was not mistaken. I won my R16 against Jab by 10-3 but lost in the quarters to Abg Roslan by 4-10. Overall it was a great achievement and I won a medal with Wilson wristband :-)

Teluk Intan @ Day Trip...

We had our morning breakfast with Yeop at Restoran Syed Sekyen 11 Shah Alam before driving to Teluk Intan via Kapar, Kuala Selangor & Sabar Bernam route. It took us 2.5 hours to reach Teluk Intan and it was such a smooth driving despite the light drizzle. We immediately had lunch at Ijam's house and we drive back to Shah Alam by 2pm as Arief has his tennis lesson at 5pm. On the way back I stopped to buy pisang goreng, jus mangga and jagung rebus. Well the goreng pisang is so sweet and nice; Jus mangga was fresh but a bit dissapointment on the jagung rebus. I opted to use LATAR via Ijok to Shah Alam as I plan to escape the evening jam at Kapar. The new highway is quite interesting; total RM4 in toll and it will linked back with Lebuhraya Guthrie. I arrived home by 4.45pm; picked up my laundry and rush to Kelana Jaya for Arief tennis lesson; just in time :-)

R.E.A.L. School, Kenduri, Teluk Intan & BBQ

I went for my usual tennis session in Bangsar very early @ 7.30am as we have a full schedule today. I arrived home by 9.30am and we drove out to my sister house in Subang Permai by 10.30am. We visited R.E.A.L. School; options for Arief in 2013. The school is quite impressive and the fees is affordable but our main challenges will be the logistics as it is quite far from Seksyen 7 Shah Alam. From R.E.A.L. we drove to Haza's house in Damansara for Dekda Kenduri Doa Selamat; she will be giving birth in February 2012. The lunch menu (ikan masin, ulam kampung, sambal belacan, sambal nyor, daging kawah, ayam masak merah and mix veggies) is home-cooked and it is indeed delicious. I really like the green apam that Kak Zah make; different and sweet. Even the bubur kacang is excellent. We started our journey to Teluk Intan by 2pm and arrive by 4pm; the journey was so smooth and the weather is excellent. We immediately went to check-in at Intan Hotel; nearby to Ijam's house. I duly rested before we drove to Ijam's house for our BBQ gatherings. It took me awhile to start the BBQ fire and we started cooking by 8pm; chicken + frankfurters + squids. Ita cooked nasi goreng + fries as well and we ate until 10.30pm. By then Arief was already due to playing all over the house with his cousins and we retreated back to out hotel for a good night sleep :-)
