Testing 1..2...3

 Testing 1 2 3.. hello hello?

Sarah today

Told Sarah that I wasn't feeling well for the past couple of days. She said Abah dah tua eh? I think it's time for her to go to school.

Eye contact.

Went to Selayang Hospital today for an eye test. These floaters in my left eye is bothering me. It has increased in numbers for the past couple of months. I had my retinal detachment surgery back in 2009 so I prepared for the worst.

Doctor gave me the bad news. Floaters were due to old age. I'm ageing. Thought I've prepared for the worst.     

Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013.

Hi!

Raidi's 12th Birthday Party

This is Raidi's last birthday party with his friends from SKTTDI1. He'll be taking his UPSR this year so I thought I'd do something different. What else does a 12 year old and his friends would love to do other than playing video games? Laser Tag! I guess it's just right for their age. The place is indoor at the Mid Valley shopping mall. Safety is assured and they can really enjoy playing shoot them up with school friends, not in a virtual way. A transition to paintball perhaps.

It's interesting to look at how they act and interact. It reminded me of my childhood days with my friends. Sakat-menyakat tu kira normal. I'm glad that they're enjoying their schooling days as much as I did.

It was a 2hrs party, and they had 3 laser tag sessions. Memang best. Berpeluh semua!       

Dalam paper lagi...

We were interviewed again. It was with the NST. We had a very 'noisy' interview with everyone talking at the same time. Confuse reporter tu. Haha! http://www.nst.com.my/streets/central/ttdi-goes-a-twitter-1.77835 

Flight over SZB

Do watch the video in HD

Had another great flight experience. This time we flew circuits over Subang in the evening as JFK needed to clock-in his night flight hrs. It's a borring flight if you're a passenger. But for those sitting infront, it's all about flying. We did a couple of 'touch and go' on the runway and I did more flying this time. But still, the view of the sunset from above is too beutiful for us not to take pictures! Johan was busy with his iPhone and I was trying to tweet! haha.

Anak ku semakin membesar...

I see you....

Family day

We drove to Penang for this year's family holiday. I chose Hard Rock Hotel again as the kids really enjoyed the facilities the last time we were there. This time, my parents, brothers and sister joined us as well.

It was the beginning of the school holidays so the resort was a full house. But still, I really like the theme of the hotel. Raidi is taking his UPSR exam next year so consider this as the last hurrah before we send him to 'jail'. Anyway, we all had a rockin time. I had a bad migraine the first night as I was really exhausted after my stressful trip to Jakarta the day before.

sempat bergambar dengan Amy Search...

Raidi memang berani. He insisted to try this.

One tweet at a time...

Alhamdulillah.We were in the The Star (Metro) newspaper yesterday. Front page coverage! I suggested last month that we submit an article to the newspaper. Instead the reporter contacted us first to write the story. Very timely since we'll be one year old soon. I told the reporter to come back in 6 months time for a blockbuster story! hehehe

Malaysia Day Parade

No we didn't go to Merdeka Square with other fellow Malaysians to celebrate Malaysia Day. Instead we were at home waiting for the ATM, PDRM and Maritim choppers to fly over TTDI's airspace. It seems that this part of KL is oftenly used by the army/authorities air unit as their 'holding' area before they head towards Dataran Merdeka. Below are some of the pictures I took with the zoom lense. Selamat Hari Malaysia (post ISA)!

Here we go!!

The BPL season is back! The new generation MU is looking very good. Perhaps the club will grow from strength to strength at least in the next decade. With the new 'engine room', the team plays a very fluid and fast football game. We'll see how these young lads cope with the hustle and bustle of the english league.

Bye-bye Paul Scholes..*should have bid for this item*

MU new no 7?? Hehe..Met Robbo and Andy Cole during a charity dinner organised by TM & MU Foundation in KL. Will blog about it soon. I owe you a blog entry Izlyn :p

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2011

It's always difficult to take a family portrait. This year its a special one together with Sarah Umairah. Her first Hari Raya celebration and we celebrated in KL instead. Would like to take this opportunity to wish all Muslims Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Hope you have a good celebration with your loved ones.

Sarah Umairah Aqiqah Ceremony

Sarah's Aqiqah went well. It was raining in the afternoon, but in the end, everything was done according to plan. Glad that we decided to do this at Mak's place. Kalau buat dekat Aminuddin Baki, alamat kena pasang khemah semua!

Welcome to the world Sarah!

Say hello to Sarah Umairah. She was born on the 14th of May, about two months earlier than schedule. Yeah, the 3rd prem baby in the family!

Alhamdulillah Sarah is doing well today. She was discharged from the hospital after 37 days at Pantai's NICU. Ayu came back home earlier and she felt lonely at home. So we visited the little baby girl every single day.

We've been through this before (with Raidi and Zidani) so I made sure that she got the best treatment available at the hospital. NICU can be quite an intimidating place especially for first time parents.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hospital staff especially Doctor Chai for taking care of the baby. To those who visited us at the hospital, thanks for coming.

To Zidani and Raidi, now you have a little sister to look after!

This NICU ward was Sarah's temporary home for a month...

Father's Day Treat..

My father, brother and son posing...

For Father's Day this year, I decided to give my dad the experience of piloting a plane. Dulu dia suka main remote control. Yang ini boleh cuba rasa terbang sendiri. So I requested @jfkjohan to take him on a tour over KL city. Told my brother Husni and my son Raidi to go along with dad.

They were the first flight out and glad that the weather was good for flying. Johan said that my dad was 'over the moon' during the whole session. Told him that my dad is always 'over the moon'. Haha!

Somewhere over TTDI I think...

Raidi's 11th Birthday Party

We celebrated Raidi's birtday at the bowling alley. He invited all his classmates and I think almost everyone came. Raidi specificaly asked for an 'Iron Man' character birthday cake. Watch the video below to find out why.

I can't remember how many bowling games I paid for that day. Semua ikut suka hati tambah game. Macam bowling buffet. Takpa. Birthday party. Exception.

"Stab it!...Stab it!.."

Class lagu ni. Redbox ada. Hehe.

Bandung trip.

View from the restaurant....
View from the hotel lounge..


view from the hotel room..

Just got back from Bandung for client's workshop. Stayed at the same hotel I went last month. I love it there! Far away from the city 'distraction'.

This time i brought my DSLR. Started to take pictures as soon as I arrived. More pictures here...

Cuti-cuti Malaysia...

Last CNY we stayed at the Legend Int'l Water Chalet, Port Dickson. I dont know why, but if I go to a hotel, I just want to stay in the room. Room service must be good. If the room comes with attached swimming pool, that's even better! Next time I'll bring along the bicycle. I want to cycle in the swimming pool. Hahaha.

Ini ada gaya "PASKAL". Takkan berundur selagi perut tak kendur...
