Happy 51th Independence Day & Ramadhan 1429H

Rayyan-chan,otsukare samadeshita!!

today's diary,

at 11am we went to Jusco as every 20th and 30th of every month Jusco is having 5% discount for every item. we went by bicycle.. well it's really challenging(for daddy) carrying you and riding a bicycle at the same time.. bila lagi nk rasa kan? kalu kat msia jgn harap la nak naik beskal.. here's the picture;

gambar nih masa belum shopping2,lps shopping byk la barang nk bawa.. beg plastik kanan kiri handle... tp takpe,mommy terrer naik beskal..heheh.. at 4pm we went somewhere near Tsurumi Onsen as we were invited to have dinner with daddy's boss,Wachi-san and his lovely family and also their neighbour who're very2 friendly. we talk and ate a lot; -Takoyaki(something like 'cekodok' which consist of cabbages,onion,ginger and of course cuttlefish as "tako" means cuttlefish).. it was 'grill-it-yourself' style.. i'm thinking of bringing the takoyaki maker back home.. heheh , -Okonomiyaki(consisting of a pan-fried batter cake and various ingredients. Okonomi means "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki means "grilled" or "cooked"), -also had Pancake which in Japan they called it "Hotto-keki" cooked in takoyaki maker(this is for Rayyan actually..), -Kabocya-soup(pumpkin soup), -Mugicya(roasted barley tea), -Potato Salad and cakes.. i forgot to bring my camera.. but Wachi-san did took some photos of us.. might get them later.. Rayyan was being a very good boy.. everybody loves you.. we had our dinner while you played with Wachi-san's son Taisei-kun.. you were so occupied playing the block game.. nnti kita beli yer syg.. =) ok,that's all the story about today.actually mommy just wanna wish Atuk,Ummi,Ibu and family kat Batu Pahat and anyone who's reading this ;

Fukui Trip Updated

Baby Rayyan deary,

tomorrow u'll be 13months.. wow,time really flies,huh?

just a brief update about you;

ur weight= 8.5kg(last weigh was last week at Ebina)

ur height= 77cm

others= one tiny-cute tooth,

= able to walk for about 10steps without falling on ur own,

= lots and lots of talking @ cute sounds

= fall and bump more often

= love to climb and are able to climb stairs on ur own,

= love to slide and playground(once naik gelungsor,xmoh balik dah)

= good at imitating mommy n daddy's actions.. sume org pegang dia nk jugak

last night,an incident occured.luckily,u were okay.i even cried,scared to death.daddy pon cuak abis.luckily,there's no severe injuries but i really felt the blame on me. that incident made me realize how i feel or how a mother felt when their child is hurt in any way. it's not easy raising a child.one second lack of caution can cause a lifetime regret... (suddenly, i miss Mak kat kampung.. terima kaseh Mak)

okays,next time.. pay more attention! no more careless,mommy!

so,back to the title of today's entry.this time,i'll let the picture speaks for itself adorn with some words..and here you go,another pile of pictures of us last summer holiday at Fukui Terchenta.. =)

Holiday starts from 9th August~13th August '08

1st and foremost, representing the ride. New Demio, a compact car very economical on gas. easy drive and cute too~ The weather was quite cloudy but we're fortunate to see Mount Fuji while crossing Yamanashi

The scenic view along the way.. mountains, streams, lakes, dams, fruits farms(grapes,pears,peaches..etc).. and many more

in front of Fukui Station - 1st place i met ur daddy :)

The all-time-favourite Soba, Eki Soba.(no chairs n tables provided.just bars where u stand n eat...huhuh)

in front of mommy's 1st house.used to lived here with aunt mizot n aunt ida..an old 2-storey japanese house.bila angin kuat sket je,tingkat atas goyang2..hahahha at the main entrance to mommy and daddy's university..

Himawari @ Sunflower farm at Kaga Fruitsland.accompanied with mizot,hafiz,moqa & linda

bunga2 sume segan jumpa Rayyan.. tunduk je.. hehhe

August 11th, Mikuni Hanabi Taikai.

payah sungguh nk suruh Rayyan pandang kamera,asyik sgt tgk hanabi =) it's great that u enjoyed the festival,dear...

we took over 100pieces of pictures on this single event.. this is one of them. something different about this hanabi taikai is that most of the firecrackers were fired from the middle of the beach.. plus,u get to enjoy both the sky n the beach as the stage.. nice rite?

firecrackers above the water

The troop to Mikuni Hanabi Taikai.. unfortunately,mommy xbawa yukata..Yukata kitakattanaa~

Mizushima Island Mandi2 Trip.about 2hours drive from Fukui City. A small deserted island at Tsuruga City. crystal clear water and a perfect place to bring children along..

Rayyan.. loves beaches!

playing eyes with auntie mizot enticingly...

geng baru :)

ramai betul coast guard Rayyan

seronok berendam.. xmoh naik

Rayyan crying on the boat while leaving the beach...

spent some time with Okasan before leaving Fukui. makan soba lagi sambil borak2...

went to game center during our last night there with some of the Fukuians

and finally....

3 of us 1st Purikura... Rayyan's 1st Purikura =)

pheww... at last... that's all dear. wait for the next post about your 1st Disneyland.. =)

T.O.W The Precious Laugh

Hello baby~

sorry,mommy didn't have the time to update about our holiday.. been busy with work that i have to submit this month.. but,i couldn't resist to put this video and pictures of ur 1st tooth..

a week after we arrived in Japan,ur tooth finally starts to show itself. we've been waiting a loooonnnggg time for that tiny thing to come out~ others always said that ur tooth come out too late.. almost 1 and yet,no tooth?? other babies had their 1st tooth as early as 6months.. the same thing happened when u didn't seemed to crawl when u're 7months old. i don't give a damn what they say.. i don't feel a thing.. besides, i know every baby is unique in their own way. they are not you.. that's why you're special!

sometimes i feel offended,but people can say whatever they want.. i just let u grow on ur own pase.. no rush.. no pushing u over ur limit.. (not yet.. heheh).

ok.. got to continue my work! enjoy urself,dear!

this is the video of u laughing when i flapped the blanket near your face vigorously.. hehehe

T.O.W Sneak Preview of Mikuni Fireworks Festival

alololohh..comey nyer anak mommy sorang nih =) chouu-tanoshikatta ne!

oleh kerna kepenatan berjalan sejauh 6km sambil dukung Rayyan..mommy tidak kelaratan nak menghapdet story hanabi taikai(fireworks festival).. kena rehat. sbb esok nk sambung jalan.. pegi pulau mandi laut pulak.. (makin gelap ler kita!)

sorejya,OYASUMI!

T.O.W From Fukui With Love

yeayy...alhamdulillah.. akhirnya kesampaian juga impian dan cita2 nak bawa Rayyan "balik" ke kampung tpt Rayyan dibesarkan(dalam perut.. hehhe). Perjalanan yang mengambil masa lebih 11jam dari Hadano ke Fukui-shi mmg mencabar.. apatah lg dengan Rayyan bersama. gigih sungguh Papa drive sorang2 all the way.. mommy pon dah tergolek-dok dlm keta dgn mcm2 gaya.. hehhe =) lenguh segala sendi.. masa sampai kat Yamanashi sempat ambil gambar dgn Gunung Fuji. unfortunately,mommy terdelete gambar kita ber-3.. akibat syiok mendelete gmbr2 yang lama =( .. hopefully on the way balik nnti dapat tangkap lagi.. sempat juga singgah ke Yamanakako... nak sampai ke Fukui, kena melalui beberapa ken(negeri). Kanagawa-Shizuoka-Yamanashi-Nagano-Toyama-Fukui. huhuhu... really long journey huh? sampai kat fukui around pkl 315am.. syian auntie mizot kena sambut kita. arigatou! and so,today we started our journey to Fukui Daigaku(Fukui University). tunjuk kat Rayyan tpt mommy n Papa blaja. tp blom tunjuk ind etails lagi.. kat mana shokudou( dewan makan),seikyou(kedai koperasi),bilik kenkyu(research),dewan kuliah,tp tergolek masa sekolah penuh ngan yuki(snow),tp nangis sbb kena marah ngan sensei(heheh.. nak tunjuk jugak ke? ada tpt rahsia tau..uhuhu).. tp yg penuh suka duka.. place where we achieved what we came for... amek gmbr sket2.. sambung pusing2 bndr fukui.. next,we headed to Kaga,Fruitsland which is near to Ishikawa-ken.. planned to have budou-gari(grapes-picking) tp spesis grape yg sedang berbuah tidak berapa menarik.. dah byk mkn dolu2(masa bujang.. rayyan pon dah mkn masa dlm perut.. ) so,we cancelled n end up taking pictures with sunflowers.. habis redah kebun ( eh,ladang??) sunflower tu haa.. Rayyan yg kepenatan sleep all the way home. sempat lg menyinggah ke Yamaya on the way back.. tpt favourite shopping dolu2.. natsukashii naa!! lps balik tu,kami yg kelaparan xlunch(termasuk la Rayyan.. yg hanya makan ringan2) terus ke Fukui Eki(Fukui station)... untuk apa lg kalu bukan utk melepaskan rindu dgn eki soba! wahhh..kawaranai aji da!!(still the same taste) tambah lg natsukashii.. tgk muka makcik soba tu pon rasa natsukashii.. Fukui xbyk berubah.tp kan... bila sampai kat Fukui ni..sgt la rasa "at home". rasa berbeza sgt dgn perasaan bila berada kat Hadano. kalu kat Kanagawa tu,rasa macam asing.. nak keluar rumah pon rasa malas.. antara sebabnyer;

1. xde kenderaan(dah biasa duduk nihon dgn kereta,bila xde keta n beskal rasa xde perasaan nk meng'explore')
2. sbb bila keluar rasa mcm ada mata2 yg memandang dgn pelik.kalu kat Fukui xkesah pon org nk pandang2.. ke dah lama xkena dgn pandangan2 yg pelik.
3. panas. bila panas terik rasa mcm sayang nk tinggalkan rumah yg sentiasa terpasang air condition 24h.. heheh (dah la budak sorang tu allergic topi or whatsoever benda yg letak atas kepala dia.. syian lak anak mommy sorang nih)
4. tak tau nk pergi mana. in other words tpt kita tinggal tu xde tpt menarik. ke kita yg xtau? hehehe.. mana nk tau kalu tak nk explore..aduh!
5. sbb yg paling ketara ialah, xmau tanggung risiko jalan sorang2 dgn Rayyan dalam bandar yg asing tanpa kenderaan yg selesa... heheheh.. kalu ada Papa,bole tukar2

haa.. tp tu laa.. mommy xkesah pon.. cuma kesian kat Rayyan je.. xde kawan nk bermain. cakap sorang2 je kalu mommy xlayan dia. kat rumah tu pon,kalu crawl,balik2 dinding yang sama jugak dia jumpa..hehehe.. but,we had enough,rite dear? cukup je jalan2 weekends n holiday a week nih.. we had a lot of fun,betul x? alamak,pjg nyer cerita.. nih blom cerita pasal Fukui lagi..

Kenapa mommy & daddy sgt sayang Fukui? (another loooongg list)

1. Fukui is where we knew each other. where we had so much together and where we left so many precious history ..
2. a lot of things we learnt here ( i've spent 4years of my life here while dady had spend 6years++)
3. very convenient walaupon byk sawah padi yg saujana mata memandang =)
4. a lot of good friends walaupon ramai yg dah balik
5. and again,there's a lot of history for us here...

bila main2 kat taman tepi umh td.. rasa shiawase(happy). dolu2 main buai kat sini berdua.. skg main buai kat sini bertiga.. heheh.. sambil tgk bulan.. angin malam yg sepoi2 bahasa.. ehhehe.. mmg berbaloi dpt balik Fukui despite the 11hours drive.

well, all in all... very happy to have been given the chance to bring you here.to show you where the love story begins.. where the flower of love starts to bloom and keep on blooming until today(and forever .. amin). eventho,u have no idea what it is all about.. u're too young.. of course la .. 1year 2weeks old maa..

but when u grow up,i'm sure u'll appreciate it! (actually, mommy n papa yg syiok terlebih.. jakun tgk this n that places while remembering every event that happened at those places... huhuhu.. we just can't help it!)

sadly, i can't upload any picture.. left the camera in the car.. dah ler mommy nih suka sedap hati badan je men'online' dr umh org nih(terima kaseih byk kpd kohai yg murah hati itu).brilliant idea of Papa to bring his laptop along...

and so,i'm proud to say this entry i wrote ... is a special entry.. why? because i wrote it from where "it all" begins.. where this blog's 1st entry was written.

if there's no us, there's no you.. and sure this entry wouldn't exist.. ( ignore the extra emotional feelings,ye..ihiks)

sweet dream my sleeping angel.. may u rise tomorrow with bright smile and full of energy for our next plan... HANABI TAIKAI ikimassshoii!

oyasumi Fukui~

from Fukui with love....
