anuar...piano and you

amy mastura one of the audience

ahhh my memorable picture

On the 6th feb 2009, i was one of the lucky 450 people who went to Anuar Zain's concert held at concorde hotel ballroom in the heart of Kl.It was really a night to remember with good environment,setting and food.But best of all is the man himself ANUAR ZAIN with his powerful voice that captivated us all.

I will surely go to the next concert in the near future and it will be worth every cents that i spent.

2009

in front of P.Ramlee birthplace house

Welcome to year 2009.Lots of birthdays, trips and new additions happens since i last put an entry on my blog.Blame it on my non-stopping workload and the laziness that always creeps in whenever im at home and doing nothing.I could just grab my lappy and type away but alas the astro remote has more appeal to me than my faithful Mcbook.

First of all congratulations to my brother n sis-in-law hj kudin n ka noor on the birth of their first baby boy named Noor Aiman Izzudin on the 24th Dec 2008.A day after my ehem ehem birthday.Up to now Haji Noor Kaseh n Hjh Rosnah has a total of 16 grandchildrens from 4 families.More to come inshaallah (we will have to wait for 7 of the sibling to get hitched too).

Where was i in December? Well i spend the whole month in Kuala Lumpur that include celebrating my sister Hjh Ehsan's birthday and mine.We took the opportunity also to visits other places like Penang and Melaka.Since my sister and brother-in-law is doing their studies over there for the next 3 years, i'm guessing i will be spending alot of my holidays over there and do the "cuti cuti malaysia".

We manage to go to Sunway Lagoon and A'famosa to appeased the kids swimming interests.If they had their own way they would like to swim everyday.Luckily at my sister's building there is a large swimming pool.

We also visited P.Ramlee birthplace while we were in Penang.It really was a honour to be in the midst of all the memorabilia.Some educational venue like the butterfly farm and snake temple were the choices of the kids to visit when we were there.

But the two favourite exercises that both loved by the young and the old is shopping and "jalan jalan cari makan".We shop everywhere but seems to be coming to Masjid India more often.Hmmm i wonder why? ( Its so obvious when you are a bruneian).

When it come to food, there is no stopping us.The likes of ikan bakar in Jln Bellamy, Sate Kajang Hj Shamsuri and Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa to name a few.The newly discovered Putu Bambu and the 1 foot subway sandwich makes my mouth waters just by mentioning it.

Pictures best describe the places we go and food we tasted.Many unskilled photographers contributed to this events but uploaded scattered all over the internet.Go to attahira, hjh amoy or nabilah on facebook or go to the family blog omar-aminah-family.blogspot

I babbled enough on this edition and hope with this new year the old bad habit will go away and lastly its not too late to wish everybody a Happy Maal Hijrah and a Happy new Year.

SAWADDEE KA

bapa dengan gaya ketika 'shopping' dan bila sudah penat secawan kopi starbuck jadi hidangan.

pada 23hb oct yang lepas empat beranak hj noor kaseh telah berlancong ke bangkok thailand dengan tujuan untuk membeli belah sambil menikmati makanan terkenal thailand.kami menghabiskan masa selama 4 hari di kota yang terkenal dengan sopan santun penduduknya.tidak pernah sekali pun kami mendengar suara tinggi mahu pun orang yang bergaduh.ini ialah lawatan pertama bagi islah, kedua bagi saya dan sudah lama bagi bapa dan hjh ehsan(kali terakhir mereka pergi ialah pada tahun 80an)

kami tinggal di sebuah hotel yang bernama grand watergate hotel yang terletak di tengah-tengah wilayah pratunam di mana kebanyakkan tempat membeli belah seperti pratunam market,platinum mall, city centre dan mbk centre.di sepanjang jalan nya juga penuh dengan gerai kecil kecilan menjual barang barang dan makanan.walaupun kami hanya perlu berjalan kaki untuk menikmati suasana jual beli,kami juga ada mengunakan khidmat teksi dan tuk tuk (sejenis motosikal) untuk pergi ke tempat tempat yang selalu di kunjungi para para pelancong seperti chatuchak market,chinatown,night market,arab street dan bobae market.sememang nya kami lenguh kaki oleh nya.apa kata orang orang ketani 'kalau orang brunei sanggup'

tidak ketinggalan juga kami menikmati bermacam macam juadah tempatan atau pun arab.jangan khuatir di sana memang banyak tempat tempat makan yang halal dan kebanyakkan teksi dan tuk tuk memang tahu mana tempat tempat nya.boleh di katakan semua makanan nya sedap sedap belaka dan harganya berpatutan tetapi berhati hati bila memesan makanan nya supaya kurang kan pedas nya.kalau tidak berapi lah mulut.

bangkok, saya tentu akan melawat nya lagi.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.

To all my avid readers, i would like to wish you all a "Selamat Hari Raya".mohon maaf zahir dan batin for any wrongdoing that i have ever unintentionally done.

A special wish to all my cousins in UK and Australia i.e Bee Aye , Zunnur, Zayani and Noi.Wish you all well and once again 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA".

F1 SINGAPORE.

my dad,sis hjh ehsan,me and two of my nephews went to singapore during ramadhan for our annual food trip which actually coincide with the first F1 race.we didn't actually went to see the race but the heat of it can be felt a week before the actual race.Many of the racing car was on display all over orchard road.

so rather than putting the usual food pictures on this post, i opted for the many cars .For those avid supporter of the many many food in singapore more pictures are loaded to my multiply site.

my baby po

This is the picture of my latest nephew born to my sister hjh hira n hj mazanan.The fifth member of the family was born on the 16th sept weighing at 4.290kg.Its been 10 years since we (hj noor kaseh's family) got a baby in the family so it wouldn't be a surprise if this boy is gonna be very pampered by all the aunts,uncles,grandparents n even great grandma hjh aminah.He is not named yet so for the time being he is known as baby po.congratulations again to the proud parents and not forgetting the siblings afeen, ahmad, syaheena and awie.

neglection.......

neglect neglect neglect.that's what i had done to my blog.shame on me.you can blame it on my boring life since i got back from jakarta.nothing exciting happens since the trip but the occasional adrenalin pumping scenario at work.i need another trip bad.i won't be having any in coming months even during our annual food trip to singapore this ramadhan which is too bad.

but......hehehehe there is always a catch.dad been giving us hints for a round trip to malaysia.sounds fun huh.so im looking into it and probably will do our adventure trip in october after my niece's upcoming PSR exam(baby is tagging along).

congratulation also for the launching of the hj omar n hjh aminah blog and a special thanks to my cousin hj din for the great effort.so anybody interested to look behind the scenes of this family go to omar-aminah-family.blogspot.com

before i end this post i would like to wish families,friends, colleagues and all muslim brothers and sisters "SELAMAT BERPUASA DAN SEMOGA SEMUA AMALAN DI BULAN MULIA INI DI TERIMA OLEH ALLAH swt"

goodbye cuzzzzzz

the summer holiday is nearing to the end and most of my cuzzins has been flying off to continue their studies at four corners of the earth.

Dina went off to kl on the 5th aug without me knowing.kejammmmm.....thinking to belanja her sushi before she go.rugi rugi.

Day 4 and Final Day In Jakarta.

While waiting for the others to finish their congress, the rest went to Semanggi Plaza for some light sightseeing.Lucky for us there was a brazilian dance performance being held there and it was really impressive.

Then in the avo we proceed to spend another eventful time in mangga dua.you can say that we spend quite a few time there.murah kali ahhhhhhh.

Dinner for the 2 final days were held at Saung Gading and Riung Sari.

We finish off our night at Jakarta with a relaxing Body Treatment at the Fitness Spa at the hotel.

Overall we had a great shopping time in busy macet jakarta and we will definately come again.

Day 3 in Jakarta.

Today we finally slow down on our shopping trip.The sis and bro were attending the congress while me, dad and aunty relax at the hotel.

We continue our journey to the new Tanah Abang mall where we found some pretty good deals then off to Sarinah Dept mall where the gurlz go crazy at the batik lines.Dad also got himself some trendy shirts.

We end our day with some arab dinner at Beirut Lebanon restaurant not far from Netrabu restaurant at jalan Agus Salim where the speciality is gulai kambing.umph.........

Overall today was not as hectic as the first 2 days.basically we were getting over our culture shock but never falter from the shopping.

Funny time is when i try to speak indonesia hilarious.....................

Stay tuned.........

Day 2 in jakarta

macet seem to be a normal occurance in metropolitan jakarta.

our day started with a trip to the pasar senen to get the famous siduarjo kropok.Its not a typical pasar like Brunei where you can finish the whole place in under 1 hr.This pasar at my estimation will take probably more than a day to finish.Among the mazes it sure give you a headache.

After a sweaty 3 hrs in pasar Senen we proceed to Mangga Dua for a leisure shopping NOTTTTTTTTTT.Basically our bags are full to the brim.

Luncheon was not forgotten with a good seafood soirees from sari kuring restaurant.The sambel belacan was da bomb.To my fellow reader telan aje air liur nya hehehehehe.

We wrap up our day at Senayan City where to my delight the fav titbits was situated like secret receipe, krispy kreme,j.co etc mmmmmmmmm.

Learn a new word today at mangga dua.Everwhere i got the word 'Berbelanja Bu'.

jakarta metropolitan

Salam dari kota jakarta.......

Arrive here around 1pm indonesian time and straight away whisked to our destination i.e sultan hotel where we are going to spend 5 blissful days.

Before i list down our adventure may i apologise for the absence of pictures.I brought all the equipment but one tiny thing.hehehehe the card reader so i will post it all after i got back.

Well after freshening up our first destination was Tanah Abang.For the faint-hearted never attempt to go here.Trying to cross the road itself was a challenge.But we the Haji Noor Kaseh family never back down.Maju terus.....

Next was Pacific Plaza which is for the rich and famous.Well mahal lah tu.......just like Bond St level.

Then we went to Natrabu for a sumptious Nasi Padang dinner.Phewieeeeee pedas banget.....but worth the tears.

We wrap up the nite by strolling around Blok M.just like Sungei Wang.right by my alley.hehehehehe.

Today was really a good opening so wait for the next update tmrw.

New Look

Hopefully the weather will be fine when we go shenzhen next week.We have been hearing alot about flooding and earthquake on the southern part of china, the guongdong province which is where shenzhen is.mendoa lah nie.aminnnnn.

you know what is the latest rage on tv for us at rimba.its a chinese series called 'the charm beneath" aired everyday at 6pm at ntv7.Its about a family in the cosmetic business set on the era of the 50's.Biasalah cerita pasal family,harta and love.nda pernah miss kami liat.siok kali ah beat bella n ezora.hopefully no stupid ending.

That's about it for now and see you soon on the next chapter!

cheerioooooo

ReViEwS

have you been to watch Kung Fu Panda?You should go and see it and i bet its worth your time.It was hilarious.Me and the rest of my babyfruits can't stop laughing from the start till the end even afterwards when we were enjoying our sushi dinner.Some of them even try the skills of using chopsticks just like Po the panda.

Its true a hero warrior comes in different shape and sizes and in this case a fat food loving panda.Never be ashamed of your size its what's you have inside that really matters.

A chinese proverb quote "yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift"

Day 5 & final day in Seattle

Today is friday and tmrw will be our flight home.I went to the Boeing 737 assembly factory at Renton and it was magnificent, well to me it was.

Almost 12 a/c lined up nicely waiting its turn to be fitted with.Believe it or not each a/c will move about 4 inch each day until it reach the end of the line and will go out of the hangar to undergone various tests and finally painted.impressive huh.

Orders for the B737 are so backlogged that it will run into year 2014 before you can place an order.That dash my wish to buy one for my brother for his coming birthday.hehehehehe.(perasaan lah tu) but its really good business man.

I went to the boeing shop afterwards and got some goodies for self and the gangs back home and went for last minute shopping too.Have i told you that most of the shops here are on SALE.huhuhuhu i got lots of bargain and habisin itu wang.hehehehe.

Got the ipod classic for a good price but unfortunately couldnt get my hand on the wii board cos it was sold out on the first day it comes out.damn........but overall had a good shopping.

so i will sign out my journey to seattle today.It is 5.30am(2030pm in Brunei) now and in a couple of hours, i will be off to L.A to catch my flight home via Sin.Sorry there is not much pictures on these blogs cos i havent really have time to upload them but i will post most of them on my multiply site when i get back.Inshaallah.

later that nite we went for our dinner at tillicum village.its a village on blake island off the coast of hudson bay.we boarded a ship at pier 55 and took us half an hour to go there.
Tillicum village serve as a showcase for the culture of the northwest coast native first people and their speciality is the traditional way they cooked the salmon.

Seattle itself is famous for its pacific salmon.hari2 kali ah aku makan salmon.nyum nyum.
since the pier is in downtown Seattle so i have a chance to see the space needle.dari jauh pulang ganya tu tapi better than nothing rite.

overall had a good salmon dinner and an entertaining native dancing shows.
