HOLIDAY IN LANGKAWI
I thought I will have some time to stitch while we were in Langkawi. But none at all! I was having fun with my family that I'd forgotten about the WIP I brought along! It was a spur of the moment decision to go to Langkawi. Our friends said we were crazy to go there during LIMA and the accomodation & car rental could cost us a bomb. Thanks to a friend of hubby, we managed to get a room and a car at a very reasonable price considering the peak period.
And thanks to my brother in law, we got to visit LIMA without much hassle because he was one of the officer in charge there.
The children love the cable car and the hanging bridge on top of the hills. I was having fun shopping for Corelle & the likes. I'd love to buy more but would have problems carrying along the packages. I had to let go my urge to have that Vantage set...
Thanks to hubby who let me have 2 big boxes of corelle that he had to load and unload the ferry. I love you hubby!
Yeah..we had great fun and now planning for another holiday somewhere else. Where there is no shopping involved...he..he..he..

PHOTOS
The customary raya photo taken on the 1st raya when the kids were still in their baju melayu..
The loving couple...
..cheeky Shadan (2nd son)
....moody Aziq (my third)
Mak & Ain (the youngest & only daughter)....people say we look alike. Do we?
Ain was feeling bored. Helping Tok Ndak to mop the floor is more interesting than sitting around eating raya cookies!
My 80 year old Grandma. I call her Nyai. I used to stay with her during my childhood days until I was 12.
mari..mari..main bunga api..
This is what you get when you are naughty! My 1st cut his forehead when he was playing on top of a double decker bed at a neighbour's house with the ceiling fan running. He was in pain but too scared to admit because he didn't ask for our permission to go to the neoghbour's. This happened a week before raya.
Aziq celebrated his 5th birthday on the 9th of Nov at my parents' with his cousins.
RAYA IS OVER
I know..I know..I am supposed to put more time to post entries instead of changing my blogskin. I love red and strawberries are red..so that's why the strawberries.
Raya was full of visiting activities. We went back to hubby's hometown first then on 3rd raya we left for USJ..ooops it was 4th raya because we left Taiping at 2.00am. The express buses were the kings of the highway. They sped like mad and if you are in their way, they would just follow so closely to your car until you move away! Was I scared!
We reached USJ at 5.30am, went to bed, woke up at 10.30am and got ready for another journey south to my kampung in Johor. Next year will be my parents' turn to have us with them on the 1st raya and we will travel north on the 3rd raya to hubby's hometown. I don't know until when will we be doing this north to south travelling.
I packed my WIPs along but did not manage even to open the bag in that 10 days stretch of festive holiday. I was not in the mood to stitch eventhough there were times when I was free. I'd rather chat with Mak and my sisters.
I will post some photos soon. Photobucket is having problems. I cannot upload the photos there just yet.
