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.
