A new start.

We've moved in to the new house after the CNY break and so far im so happy with the new place. It is so huge (for the 3 of us), babyfriendly and clean! Thats the most important things as for me before i enter a new house. It is a small taman, so the traffic is not like the previous taman. The taman have only two row of houses and they are facing each other with no road at the end of the alley. So i guess there should be no strangers car unless for only the tenants.

I can see that my boys are also very comfortable with the house.

Muizz got to crawl happily and when we put him into the walker, he'll slide joyfully exploring one room to the other. And i tell you, my boy is so good manouvering his own car, going in and out from the room doors without slamming into one. Im a proud mummy. heee..

As for my husband, he got a full room to put his things as he called it 'Abi's place'. He has sorted out the room yesterday and i think it looks nice. Everything was out of their boxes and placed on the tables that we recently bought. Now his gadgets are safe  and sound. ;)

In terms of new purchase for the house, we've only bought two 4-foot size folding tables and a cabinett with doors. i m happy with the cabinett as now i have place to put all my tupperware! What we plan to buy after this is another folding table for the kitchen, two bamboo mats, a rechargable lamp for blackout. We had 20 minutes blackout last night and Muizz was crying so loud that i think the whole neighbourhood can hear har har.

Well i guess pictures can tell more about our new home. Here are some photos from my ig.

The 298 at Taman Panglima. My first home with husband. Our precious tiny abode where i experienced bittersweet memories and life lessons which i may not get elsewhere. You are forever will have a special place in my heart.

May Allah ease our life journey in the new place and as for the better, we pray that the next move we have is to peninsular, hopefully by the end of this year. Lets pray together. ;)

Of moving house.

Last year when my family came here for a visit, i realized how small our house is actually. It was not comfortable i know but knowing my family they are just dont bother. We're just so close with each other that we didnt mind bumping each other on the way to the toilet, bumping each other's butts in the kitchen (my kitchen only fits one adult); they even cant strech hands so much, afraid that it will poke somebody's head har har har. 

The good things about the house, firstly is the price. I can say it is the cheapest house rent in that taman which is rm450 a month. Secondly is the tuan rumah. They were the kindest landlord we ever knew. Last year's raya they invited us to their house for a feast. We were so berat hati that we gave excuse ' we dont know their house and we dont really know roads and places here'. Surprisedly, the wife insisted and said ' its ok, we'll come here to pick you up and show the way'. When we arrived at their house, then we realized we are the only guest that day. And they cooked many raya food for us. -____-. Im touched. 

After my family returned home, my husband and i went ronda-ronda around Beaufort to find another house to rent. A bigger house. But we're still berat hati because we dont know how to tell the landlord. We were not serious that time and we met no avalaible house. 

Yesterday, when i arrived home from school in the evening, my husband said that the landlord called him and advised us to find for a new house because they want to renovate the house for their daughter. But, she didnt really push us about this and told us to take our time to find a new house.Hmmm. It was shocking but on the other hand i felt relief because we finally are serious to find another house, a bigger house. =)

It was already late, but because i cant control my excitement to find another house, after praying asar, off we went ronda-ronda around Beaufort. It was 5.15pm when we left home, and we've got less that 1 hour before maghrib and day becomes night.

There are 2 new tamans here that we aimed for. There was no rent house advertisement at Taman Eramas, double-storey house. Only houses for sale and only few tenants moved in there. So, we rushed off to the second taman which we dont know what is the name. The house is modern, sleek dohble-storey house. A very beautiful house for me. The roof is flat. I mean they do not use roof yang macam rumah biasa. 

We found a house written 'For rent call 016- xxx'. We called the number quickly to ask about the condition, the water and electricity status as well as negotiate the price. The person said the rent is rm1200  month. Oh my. I requested for rm900 and he said he will think about it. Perhaps we can see the house on wednesday or thursday, because the owner lives in KK. That is one choice. 

Then we drove off to the nearby taman, which is Taman Foh Sang. The houses there is single-storey, much bigger than our current house and i knew that the houses are still knew. They were first resided in 2011. As we drove through we can see few houses that are still empty. Then, i knew this is maybe our luck. I asked my husband to stop tepi jalan to ask the lady who was cleaning her rubbish bin in front of her house. 

Surprise surprise she said the house in front of her house will be empty in february. The tenant will move out to another taman. Yeay!!! So we got the phone number of the owner and terus called. When i told the owner that we are both teahers, he immediately said 'i'll give you the house key after the tenant move ok'. The best thing of being teachers. People have trust on you. 

So now we have two options.

 It was an easy evening for us. Alhamdulillah. Allah knows the best and he listens to what our heart want. Then, after we arrived home, our landlord called saying that we perhaps dont need to move house because she was thinking of buying new house for her daughter. We can stay at that house. 

Hmmm now three options. 

But ive made my mind that i want to move to a bigger house. We dont know how many years still we will stay here because every time we applied we got rejected. And for our comfort and perhaps our family will come to visit us, so we better move out from the current house. We'll make our decision after we look through both houses.

 im so excited!!

Been waiting for next week.

Ive been waiting for 8th dec since forever. The day that we' ll finally flying hometown. Being at work while others are already enjoying their holiday is not fun.

Husband pun dah penat dengar my ramblings about 'still working while we should have gone back' almost everyday.

Basically, every school day i go to work not to work. Because we have no classes anymore. Students are having 2nd semester's examination. During their free day, they will not be at school. Semua balik kampung- buat cuti sendiri. So i dont know what's the point of us, the cikgus go to school. Hmmm.

8th Dec also marks the 2 years i got to know my husband. The day he first called me and we set plan to meet. We kamikazed decided to get married after the first meeting And less than 6 months after, i'm a wife to him. Unpredictable really when you've found the one. Now, we have a charming little boy together and i cant imagine my life without my two boys everyday.

My little boy will turn 6mo on the same date as well. It means, its time for solid! Im really excited and i know Muizz also hype about this. We can clearly see nowadays he loves to watch us eating which sometimes rasa kesian sgt. Geram je mau suap jugak.  Now im collecting all the infos and recipes of what can i feed him once the time comes.

My siblings and in laws are all counting days to meet my little ones which is not so little i think. During the last 5 mo checkup his weight is 8.7 kg and 67.5 cm tall. The nurse said he's a tall baby. I wonder where he got the gene from.

Till then. Salam.

Last Resort.

Another new reason for me to be glued to the tv. What with the new season of The Voice and Amazing Race. Owh not to forget Adam dan Hawa on 134 channel ;).

Awesome!

Do you know there's a sightless contestant on the Masterchef US 3 and she's still surviving after 3 rounds of elimination. She must be a hell of a cook isnt she.

Our humble Chambre.

Before.

After.

Home accessories :).

Cant never ask for more. Alhamdulillah.

Siang pun dah tak cerah lagi.

Musim tengkujuh datang lagi. These are the days that you feel like don't want to wake up from sleep all day. Sejuk je. It reminds me of the poem 'Monsoon History' that will not be taught next year. The most important thing is, it reminds me of the literature books that I haven't read just yet. Owh, tekanan.

I taught Form 5 students this year. Yes they are my first SPM babies. I taught 4 classes, equals to 80 teenagers. Yes, it's a small number but still the challenge is very huge. There were times that they totally ignored me in class. What a day!

Time pergi hantar makanan to my sister who is staying at hostel for SPM exam.

Now, back to the topic. Since I wake up this morning, the weather has not been on our side. It's been raining all day. Kain yang semalam pun belum kering, dah kene jemur kain hari ini. The worst scenario is, hujan-hujan begini memang perut pun berperangai la. Asyik lapar je tak keruan.

Jadi, tadi pagi triffle siap dibuat. Ini kali pertama membuat triffle di rumah. Cuma kali ini instead of using the fresh cream as the topping, I use strawberry jelly.

The recipe is the same. You can get it here. Just replace the fresh cream with jelly with your favourite color or taste.

Hari ini mak buat laksa lemak untuk menghabiskan baki laksa semalam. Memang lazat. For lunch, mak masak asam pedas ikan terubuk dan daging goreng kunyit. :)

TQ for reading this entry. Assalamualaikum.
