Mengimbau kenangan di Cameron Highlands

Untuk kali ke 4 dalam masa 3 bulan kami naik me Cameron Highlands. Plan asal nak ke Cameron dengan kakak kakak fid x dapat kami teruskan bila Zahra warded hari tu. So aku plan trip lain dengab kengkawan Fid. Pergi 1 kereta je. Seaudah subuh kami bertolak ke Cameron. Singgah di Tapah for breakfast sebelum meneruskan perjalanan naik kenCameron. Jalan sangat la clear. Sebab baru baru ni kan banjir kat Ringlet. Orang takut nak naik ke Cameron.

Sampai aje kat atas kami terua ke Blue Valley masuk ladang grape dan tomato. Grape ranum ranum dan besar. Tomato takde sebab bukan musim

Excited semua berposing dengan grape. Sayang sekali tak boleh nak petik. Kalau beli yang dah siap petik buah kecik kecik. Rm30 sekilo. Semua teruja tengok pokok anggur berbuah ranum besar besar pulak tu. Masa ke perth dulu pokok anggur cde buah langsung.

Dari ladang anggur kami singgah beli sayur sikit dan terus ke ladang cendawan. Dapat posing kat luar aje sebab cendawan tak banyak. Tak dapat la nak petik sendiri.

Ada berjenis jenis cendawan. Ada yg boleh di makan sebagai sayur ada yang khas untuk di jadikan ubat.

Lepas tu kami ke Mardi. Sungguh happy datang masa ni sebab jalan tak jammed langsung.tak ramai orang kereta pun tak banyak. Free flow aje perjalanan kami.

Kat mardi hujan so kami banyak posing posing dalam kawasan taman bunga sebab ada shade. X kena hujan.

Kat area ni je berpuluh keping gambar kami snap.

EJ sorang berselfie sana sini. Enjoying herself berselfie kejap kejap buat short video. Lepas dah kepenatan kami ke Strawberry Park Resort untuk check in.

Cantik apartment kat sini. Selesa sangat stay kat sini. Kami check in dan tak keluar dari resort ni sampai ke esokannya . Dah alang bayar mahal mahal kita stay in sampai puas. Kejap kejap makan. Lepas tu makan lagi. Perut tak rest langsung. Yang best kat resort ni ada heated pool. Dapat la bawak EJ dan Zahra mandi pool petang dan keesokan pagi. Kami conquer the pool.

Pagi selepas sarapan aku bawak Zahra jalan jalan posing. Dia suka sebab dapat petik bunga. Pastu dia kata bunga tu untuk mommy.

Walaupun berpuluh kali posing kat sini. Layannnn.

Beranda apartment yang kami duduk. Happy sangat rasa sebab dapat mengimbau kenangan masa kecik dulu datang duduk kat resort ni dengan family. 

Yang bestnya hujan dan kabus. Sejuk la jugak dan sama suasana macam dulu dulu. Rasa syukur dapat repeat the history. Photo ni sebelum check out.

Singgah kat Heritage tanah rata. Posing aje. 

Bila tengok jalan tak jam, terus drive sampai teh Bharat kat bawah lepas Tanah Rata.

Cantik tempat ni and well maintain.

Sempat buat canopy walk. Bila hujan renyai renyai cepat cepat patah balik.

Aku, Ej dan Zahra je yang turun ke ladang teh poaing posing.

Singgah minum tea dan makan scone yang kami seludup. Tempat ni no outside food katanya. Best sangat lepak kat sini. Kalau sejuk lagi la best.

Budak kecik ni yang happy dapat jalan dan ke taman mainan. Tengok la dia senyum simpul tu. Aku pun happy sebab banyaknya kenangan manis kat Cameron ni. Kalau dapat ku putarkan waktu pasti aku nak balik ke zaman bercuti di cameron Highlands ni. He he he. Heaven.

birthday celebration

celebrated my birthday two and half months ago ...but tak sempat update lol ...i planned to have a quiet, low profile celebration - just me and the girls ..hahaha and what did I have???? a very busy and not-so low profile celebration hahaha ...apa nak buat, lain yag dirancang, lain yang terjadi

aku tak bagitau pun my birthday ..cuma close friends yang tahu ...so only plan a quiet dinner ngan the girls ..but pagi tu, my friend Lyn dropped by the flat with chocolate, flowers and card and sang in front of the flat hahaha kecoh giler ...i ended up having my birthday brunch with her at Fidel's. Such a lovely lunch and the weather was warm and nice (it was spring) ...

then akak rushed to the office ..sebab kena siapkan report for sv ...sesampai nya di opis, opismate plak tanya naper masuk opis for my own bday hahaha .....worked ala kadar and rushed home to change sebab janji jumpa the girls in town at 7.00pm ..had my birthday dinner at Mexico, the newly opened mexican joint in town.

Ingatkan quiet dinner le kata ...memang takde lah quiet nya ...they arranged for the waiter and waitress to antar our dessert with candles and stuffs and sing! so i had waiter and waitress and few other people singing happy birthday to me hahaha ....quiet lah sangat!

and for the first time in my life, I makan cactus lol ...kitorang order this vegetarian quasadiles ..with inti cactus, brocolli and cheese ...not bad lah ..ranggup jer hahahaha

Ingatkan itu ajer lah kan ...takde nyer ..Lyn came the next day to celebrate with me again - by visiting Kathrine Mansfield Birthplace - one of the arraction di Welly ..and followed by lunch in town and browsing through a number of bookstores. I managed to get myself a few bargain books - and one of them is the Bone People - my first book by NZ author ...penah menang award tu ...but takde masa nak baca lagi ...and a book on Katherine Mansfields as well a the LOTR book ...

 Lyn and I depan rumah Katherine Mansfield

ingatkan itu ajer kan .......but no way Jose .....the following day (a sunday) my other friends arranged for surprise lunch pulak ...i ingat jumpa Nabil for a quick coffee ..sekali sesampainya kat town i saw the others ada jugak ...Tia jer takde sebab she went back to USA masa tu ...we had lunch at thai restaurant ....a yummy lunch too! lama tak catch up with them ....

Pas makan makan we went for a walk at the waterfront and around Chaffers Wharf ...the weather was so nice ...lol lepak lepak posing ..makan ice cream ..coffee ..and cakes ...sebab dorang kata takde birthday celebration yang takde cake ...so sweet of them to belanja me and spent time macam tu..walaupun masing2 actually sibuk and have dateline to catch!

After the walk, the others rushed back to their office sebabNastia had to finish her paper - dia kenan present at a conference kat State the folowing weekend ...Sergey ada another meeting and maryam balik buat kerja jugak ...Nabil said i takleh balik coz i need to do more than makan makan on my birthday - so we went to a movie screening - masa tu ada Brazilian Movie Screening at TePapa ..it was ok hahaha sebab it is in brazilian with sub-titled ...pening akak ...and followed up with another jalan jaln kat waterfront - ingat nak lepak Fox Glove ..sebab we were meeting another friend ..but our friend tunggu kat TSB Arena ..so lepak lagi ...and watched sunset bagai ...lol 

pas tu bukan reti nak balik ...ended up lepak at Midnight Esspresso having more cakes and drinks - i had ribena lol! so kanak kanak riang kan???? kol 11.30 baru balik rumah ....

a few days later, I got a parcel from Germany ..my ex-flatmate Berna sent me a wonderful gift and chocolate and other stuffs! and my friends Kiky and Tijot sent me birthday greeting all the way from Korea ...sangat sangat low profile kan my birthday celebration hahahaha ....apa apa pun I am thankful to this blessing ..to be surrounded my great friends  ....and some of them I baru kenal when I came to Aeteroa, the lnd of the long white cloud

Ingatkan abis di situ kan...ooo tidak ...semalam akak dapat parcel dari adik beradik just 40 hahaha kad bday sampai 2.5 month lambat :-) sebab semua sibuk nak gi pos opis agak nya ...thank you liz ..ita ..fedi ...love you guys

That's wrapped up my birthday celebration this year hahahaha next year akan low profile - trust me, coz all my friends have left or are in the process of leaving Welly ...but, apa apa pun ..tahun ini sangat happenning! love you guys so much ....and o my adik beradik ..love you guys to the moon and back ..till jannah

Catch up - last two months!

Adohhh ...bear kata Fendi and Liz ..memang lama sangat blog terabai ..masing masing terlalu sibuk ..on my part, what can I say - PhD is taking over my life ..now dah di penghujung my second year ..cabaran dan dugaan makin menjadi jadi ..sebab tu nak jengah blog pun takde masa ..even whatsapp kami adik beradik Just 40 pun jauh dah berkurangan compared to last year (tapi ingat lah wahai abang abang dan kakak kakak ku sekelian - adik mu di sini sentiasa ingat kat orang )

my last posting was on the tulip festival - hahahaha that was end of sept actually. In the meantime memang aku banyak gak jalan2 around Welly but takde masa nak update kat sini ...the last two month was super hectic ..I am at the stage of data entry and data analysis. Baru aritu my sv memberi kata kata keramat - i need to get all that done by Dec sebab by Jan i must be ready to proceed to the next stage i.e. literature review and writing ...itu lah tempoh yang akan lebih mencabar for me ... 1st Feb next year will mark the start of my 3rd year here ..sungguh pantas masa berlalu ..and semaki tinggi expectation sv aku huhuhuhu ..but let me say what all PhD students think all the time - tolong lah jangan tanya when we will finish ..or when we will submit ..sebab kami sendiri tak tau ...and it is a sensitif question to ask a phd student bile nak abis - bila nak submit  ...so sebagai peringatan yea, ingat kata kata ii:

selain tu the last two months jugak I have been "ditinggalkan" ...most of my great friends are leaving Welly - most of them leaving for good but a few will come back ...i am now terasa macam my summer is getting depressing as i have less people to hang out with ...sedih tau ....but banyak le farewell parties yang aku attended in the last one month hahaha ...makan makan adalah harus (tak caya tanya Fendi)

 celebrating Sue's bday - one month early sebab dia nak balik Taiping dah masa tu (our last meeting together till God knows when)

My former flatmate, Maryam pun balik Iran today ..dia dah submit her thesis last thus - tapi sebab i was busy with another event, tak sempat gi dia punya farewell ..but i will be seeing her again in feb next year (she will be back for her viva). Our other friend will be leaving in Jan atas sebab kesihatan - dia kena tangguh study and will be back in France ...so, I am sad sebab kawan kawan baik ku kan balik ....uuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .....and similar situation at the flat. My flatmate, Yanan  dah balik China last thurs - for a 3 month internship ..nasib baik flatmate yang baru ni ok hahaha flatmate baru is a kiwi girl. so far i can get along with her ..she is quiet and reserved, but gila babab suka baking hahaha ...in fact as i am typing this, I am eating one of her cupcake yng dia baru baked sebentar tadi ...so yummm ...takde gambar pulak hahaha nantilah akak letak

so conclusion nya (hahahaha cam buat esei), two months ni terlalu sibuk - too emotional jugak for me - with my mom being hospitalised some more (but now is recovering - thank God) and with my super hectic schedule - maka blog terabai ...i miss those days when i can update the blog 2-3 times a week ..i miss reading coretan from kak long and abang ngah ..or bila ita akan tinggalkan jejak here ...i miss those time when we all tak sesibuk sekarang ....

 Cook Straits from the top of Makara Hill

summer is nearly here - kat Scorching Bay

now aku menunggu kedatangan abang ngah and kak long and kak lang ke sini ...bila kah itu?????

my dreamy mind at 12 midnite

Guys ..we are all so teruk...this is our 75th postg of d year..we were 500 then 300 then 200++ and 2014 we may close w less than 100...where were we? 2nd postg for nov..we have 2 for oct..3 kot for sept..napa kita. I guess it was not me alone but all of us are being pushed to d limit...kita dah mengjangkit ita..OMG..he.he.

Life for me has been so damn hectic beyond words..with d cafes..with my office job..with d poultry busi..with d housechores....i feel like so torn...i am not utilising my energy 100% anymore but keep pushing to 200% ..but we cant do that, can we?.so i divide my time..my focus...my involvement..and everything just fall apart..many incomplete businesses...but still i am trying my best. All i need is to keep going and sabar...banyak sgt sabar....keep d faith ..dugaan ini dr Allah to bring out d best in us...to bring us to a better position than where we were. InsyaAllah...i am still readg yasmin mohaged ..and up to the page that i have read...i now understand that d ultimate good in this life is to be near to Allah...it answers many questions.

Too many things lingering in my mind...concern abt so many many things. Oklah..i am tired...i am glad that i got this space to put my mind in words...love writing here but everytime i want to jenguk something else came forward in my brain and push this behind..jahat jugak brain ni ...
i hope i will be here again esok w new postg ya..insyaAllah.

take care all...be nice..be blessed w what you have...love all..stay true..
