Next destination!

remember in this entry i mentioned about a major change in August? yeap, it officially took place last saturday.

we moved! again :D

due to the company request, kami sekeluarga berpindah ke bandar lain. kali ini ke bandar besar bersebelahan tokyo iaitu Chiba.mula2 bila disuruh pindah, perasaan mmg bercampur-baur.. seronok, risau, berbelah-bahagi macam2 laa..tp memandangkan i'm a SAHM, why not? after all, it's just for a year( but the end date is not mention anywhere yet... hmmm). so, if it's for a year, it might be fun! i lovvveee my 6months stay in saitama last year and i'm definitely gonna love my stay in chiba with the company of the boys!!

so, emir started his obon holiday earlier than others since thursday last week, we packed everything in 1day..i'm too lazy to pack beforehand. well, i know Sakai guys will do most of the work.. not that hard as we don't have that many things.. come to think of it, i just got to stay in toyama for only 2months.. xsempat nk bosan, xsempat nk sayang...rasa macam persinggahan...

thursday 09.08.2012, buat makan2 untuk warga toyama.. budget masak untuk 40org.. malas nk masak kat surau, so we both masak kat rumah berdua.ini pertama kali masak banyak2..takut xsedap sbb puasa huhuh..tp alhamdulillah, semua habis licin..

sempat amek gambar ni je.. sbb masa ni tgh rehat separuh masa pertama...

lenguh tangan memotong macam2..gambar2 makanan dan tukang makan semua xsempat sbb sibuk makan dan berborak.. :) sangat2 seronok jamu org makan!!

boleh la gmbr ayam goreng ni buat kenangan :))

friday 10.08.2012, one whole day mengemas, dan mengemas... dan mengemas lagi...walaupon madam banyak mengelat! hehehe

ini tukang kacau abg dia & tukang buat bising waktu org mengemas.. *geram*

saturday 11.08.2012, time to leave 奥田町ハイツ(okuda machi haitsu) 202 and toyama

seb baik abg2 Sakai buat semua..sementara tunggu depa angkut barang2 masuk lori, kami main2 kat playground sblh rumah.. seronok betul pindah guna perkhidmatan camni, xyah sibuk2 berpeluh2 angkat barang..tau2 dah licin sume kena angkut



around 12pm we leave for our next destination...that is,Matsumoto :)) i was very excited to meet mai dear friend, yotte!!

we chose to drive using the old road rather than highway.. because of the distance n traffic..and most importantly the scenery, subhanallah..breathtaking!! that's why we love doraibu(driving) in japan..lotsa place to stop by.. especially here in nagano..green everywhere.. on our way, we saw people camping, picnic by the river and fishing... i just love it!!

we made a brief stop here at the Nagawado Dam..

and then, singgah beli tembikai..maklumlah, bila musim panas ni meriah dengan buah tembikai..puasa2 ni mmg terliur je bila nampak tembikai di kiri kanan jalan... nampak pokok epal2 yg sedang berbuah..nagano salah satu negeri yg banyak tanam epal..bila la bleh dpt pergi 'ringo gari' (apple picking)..teringin!!

 lps tu, atas suggestion tuan rumah, kami pon singgah sebentar di matsumoto castle..tak sempat masuk dlm sbb dah tutup pkl 530pm..posing dr luar je laa.. rayyan & rifqi dah pancit waktu ni..jalan pon xlarat dah..

bandar matsumoto sangat cantek..sekali masuk area dkt train station tu, macam kat tokyo..eccehh! banyak bangunan menarik, ada kouen(taman) yg besar... jatuh cinta dgn matsumoto sudah...

pkl 6 lebih, selamat lah kami sampai ke teratak puan yotte..rumah sgt cantek dan besar.. n tak dilupakan, terus menjenguk kebun sayurnya di belakang rumah..itu antara salah satu agenda pergi rumah puan yotte sbb geram tgk gambar2 IG beliau..hehehe..banyak dah menuntut ilmu perkebunan dan tips berguna..hahaha..
dayot is my aaj friend back in 2001, sampai lah sekarang.. dah lama xjumpa..kali terakhir jumpa lps job fair kat tokyo...one trivia about us, we share the same birthday!!n then later that day, we found out we even use the same casing for our 4s white iphone!! mmg un'sangka'rable..huhuhu

 malam tu, puan yotte jamu makan nasi lemak & ayam goreng berempah..mmg tip top sedap! rayyan makan siap bertambah.. n then, dapat berkenalan dengan anisah dan keluarga..nice to meet her.. tp xpuas lagi borak2!

ini je gambar yg sempat di'snap'..lps tu dah xigt nk bergambar..huhuh..

macam biasa gambar makanan xsempat amek..hik2

those 2girls are anisah's beautiful girls, nuha & wafa...syafi asek sibuk dgn anpanman nya sampai xsudi nk tgk kamera auntie mai...

and the next day sunday 12.08.2012, lepas sahur kami sambung lagi berborak..sampai lah tiba waktu untuk meneruskan perjalanan ke chiba... sebelum bertolak, puan yotte(kenapa rasa best panggil ko 'puan' yotte? huhuh) begitu baik hati bekalkan kami dengan sarapan nasi lemak untuk anak2 yg belum bangun dan juga hasil tanaman dari kebun comelnya... sangat seronok ok dapat fresh veggies n pokok lagi! (balik rumah makan puji xabis2..maniss n u can taste the freshness!!,seriously yotte!!)

amacam, ada gaya petani wanita berjaya kan??...hehehe.. pagi2 dah masuk kebun..alhamdulillah, murah rezeki puan yotte bagi pokok basil n tomato..pokok2 survive dlm kereta sampai ke chiba, masih sihat nampaknya..we'll see how puan mai jaga pokok pulak hehehe

syafi pon bangun awal tolong mama dia kat kebun :)) 

thanks a lot yotte & hubby for having us.. thank you for the warm host! insyaAllah ada rezeki mmg nak sgt dtg jalan2 matsumoto lagi!

ok laa..sampai sini dulu update story..dah masuk waktu sahur..kita sambung cerita rumah baru next entry pulak yer...

psssttt

fyi, i super-duper love mai new home!! (*^-^*)

jya,

selamat bersahur!!

Jumpa atuk Nakashima

salam ramadhan..dah masuk hari ke-12 berada dlm bulan yg mulia ini... tak terasa masa berlalu walaupon kat jepun skg ni cuaca agak panas..lagi panas dr msia kot..kami ni pon mula2 takut2 jugak nk buka aircond takut bil letrik melambung.. tp bila dpt bil bulan lepas ok jer.. bulan ni hentam pakai boleh kata everyday, on off :))..

pagi2 ni tunggu masa nk sahur..sebenarnya dah sahur siap2 midnight td after 2days terlepas sahur..maklumlah, imsak kat jepun skg awal, 3:16am camtu... kami makan pizza jer..huhuhu, western sunggu bersahur :)

sebenarnya taktau nk cerita apa..tgk2 koleksi gambar, ternampak gmbr masa balik kampung fukui last month. just a one day visit on important matter... kalau boleh mmg nk bermalam,alang2 dah sampai sana kan..ada yang mempelawa pulak tu..tp sbb the next 2days nk balik msia, makanya kami balik hari je.. barang sume xkemas lagi.

sampai fukui dah tgh hari dlm pkl 1 camtu..

jalan yg mengimbau seribu kenangan zaman muda-mudi.. kat bumi bertuah ini la tpt mama & papa berkenalan.. banyak tpt yg nostalgia.. nama tpt kat sign board ni semua ada kenangan..hehehe..
it all started here... eccehh!

destinasi pertama kami ialah fukui university.. tpt mama & papa belajar..

masuk je pintu gate university, terasa sangat nostalgia & jakun..huhuh.. xde la banyak berubah..tp nk masuk dlm bangunan yg ada kelas mama belajar xboley.. kata sensei, dah strict sbb ada kes kecurian..nak masuk kena ada student card...

campus map.. fukudai ni xbesar pon..kalau pergi kanazawa dai arituh, mak aih..boleh semput nk cari blok..university atas bukit pulak tu..kalau mengayuh mmg boleh kurussss.. tp fukudai comel ajer..nk ke blok lain, jalan kaki pon xsempat penat dah sampai..hehehe

inilah bangunan engineering tpt mama belajar dulu..yg rendah tu..heheh..yg tinggi tu pon pernah juga amek kelas kat situ tp jarang2.. skg nih bangunan tinggi tu dah extend lagi.. tp bangunan yg depan ni je canggih, bangunan belakang bangunan canggih ni..masih lagi macam bangunan tinggal..huhu..bilik research papa pon masih sama condition nya..

actually kami nak jumpa dgn nakashima sensei... sensei ni yg uruskan kami pelajar2 asing kat fukudai(University fukui) dulu. nak minta tolong nakashima sensei ni tuliskan recommendation letter utk mama. alhamdulillah semuanya berjalan lancar..nakashima sensei tak banyak berubah pon, masih lagi segak dan caring macam dulu.. kalau dulu, pertama kali menjejakkan kaki ke sini umur 20thn, skg dah nak masuk 30an... siap bawa anak, bukan sorang tp dua lagi..seronok!! kali terakhir jumpa nakashima sensei masa beliau dtg malaysia dulu, tak igt dah tahun berapa..2010? masa tu semua ex-fukuians gathering n meeting bersama2 sensei..seronok sbb sume bawa 'extension' masing.. hehehe

posing depan bilik sensei.. 

while waiting for mama... habis whiteboard 'atuk' nakashima dicontengnya depa..

berkenan sungguh dengan melody box atuk..lagu 'akatonbo' (the red dragonfly) nursery rhyme jepun

catching up on stories

gambar kenang-kenangan

and then, sensei tunjuk buku ni.. terkejut mama & papa..sugoine~

"Why Fukui University is strong with their students employment (after graduation)"

sambil2 tu sempat lagi menyinggah ke beberapa tpt yg banyak kenangan.. :))

rumah pertama mama kat jepun..rumah tradisional jepun ni.hehehe..bersama2 housemate tersayang auntie mizot n autie ida.. lama jugak kami stay rumah ni..oyasan duduk depan rumah je..bila rumput2 panjang, makcik oyasan tolong potongkan..bunga ros merah tepi rumah sgt lebat sampai boleh buat kazari(hiasan) dlm rumah..parking kereta free ada kat blkg..

tahun 2008, abg adam dah dtg sekali bergambar kat depan pintu ni haa..mama blogged it here...tp kali ni, sebab hujan tak dapat la amek gmbr adek aydeen..insyaAllah, lain kali yer dek!

huhuh..mmg macam rumah tinggal kan? tp dulu kami duduk pon camni jugak rupanya..xbanyak berubah.. kat belakang ni la tpt kami main yuki daruma(snowman) bila musim sejuk...

yang ni pon rumah mama jugak..rumah lps kahwin dgn papa..takizawa bi-ru..rumah no 201..auntie ida, pintu sblh je,202 n auntie mizot 404 ke? huhuh..rumah ni pon best..kat bawah tu kedai sushi, tp pernah pergi sekali je, tu pon pakcik kedai tu pelawa...

lepas tu, kami singgah ke rumah uncle benjo & auntie nadia..baik sungguh auntie nadia hidangkan kami macam2..ada pizza, cheese cake... sedap! tapi bahagian yg pallliiiinggg seronok ialah dapat main lari2 dalam rumah uncle ben..masuk pintu sini, keluar pintu sana..sampai terhantuk2 pon main lagi.. jakun dgn pintu jepun depa ni..

mama perasan, sejak dtg jepun ni, adam n aydeen senang jer nk bergaul dgn other malaysian..dengan adik2 kat toyama ni, sume depa buat mcm abang sendiri.. masa pergi rumah uncle ben pon, macam dah kenal lama je dgn uncle ben, sampai2 terus peluk uncle ben..huhuh.. agaknya dah bosan tgk muka mama je tiap2 hari kot..

aydeen suka uncle ben,yeayy!!

gambar kenangan.. auntie nadia pregnant..jiran sblh auntie nadia pon pregnant..comel jer depa dua.. nnti bila ada baby, boleh kami dtg melawat lagi :))

balik sempat lagi singgah apita n drive-thru starbucks... kenangan lagik! huhuh

sampai rumah 2pagi..before that ntah berapa kali berhenti sbb mengantuk..

tido dulu, baru sambung perjalanan..jauh jugak toyama~ fukui..ke tak jauh, tp kereta papa yg 'xberapa laju' heheheh.. nnti tunggu papa beli kereta best sket, boleh pecut pergi fukui selalu (^^)

ok laa..nak sahur dah..

selamat berpuasa semua!!
