Hari Raya cum Hari Jadi Rizqin

2008-10-02T19:01:00.004+02:00

This is how we celebrate our 1st day raya this year...which is so happen to be a birthday for my second little boy, Muhammad Shahril Rizqin. Moga panjang umur, dimurahkan rezeki dan menjadi anak yg soleh anakku. Btw, we also received a good news from our friend in Oslo. K.Rima has safely delivered a cute little boy at 6.30 am in Oslo sykkehuset.

Our 1st day of raya this year falls on the 30th of September 2008, which means that we're fasting only for 29 days this year Ramadhan and one day earlier than Malaysia.

Salam Aidilfitri 1429H

2008-09-30T06:26:00.002+02:00

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf zahir dan batin..

what's cooking?

2008-07-06T14:15:00.007+02:00

Having two growing up kids (especially they're boys) and been away from tanah air sendiri..makes the duties in the kitchen as a routine already. The kids...(termasukla rihana and abahnya) enjoyed eating whatever is served since there's nowhere we can go to order for some special food. which means, kalau teringin tu..sendirila cari resepi..dan sendirila masak..(suddenly, i missed my home already...kalau di mesia..mak ada...chef segala masakan..dan restoran makan pun dekat..) but in here..what to do...be a chef in my own family la nampak gayanya..

and now, since it's a school holiday..the kids are always at home..and bet u, every half and hour..and sometimes..within that 15 minutes..dah jenguk dapur tgk apa yg boleh dimakan..

so, let's see what's been cooked for them these few weeks back..(of course..nasi is our makanan asasi..so cuma pelbagaikan rupanya saja la..)

1st Menu - Nasi goreng cina dicampur daging goreng, telur goreng, nugget, timun & tomato. tapi abah called it Nasi Goreng Selera #Tradisi - sempena nama restoran di Sek.7, Shah Alam (perghh..promote la pulak..:) )

2nd Menu - Nasi Beriyani Daging served with Ayam Masak Merah & Daging Beriyani. Keropok tu cuma snacks biasa beli kat kedai..Menu ni dimasak masa jamuan makan2 with Zakiah (Singaporean friend) & Fazila --- abah kata kalau kat Restoran Selera #Tradisi takde tukang masak sok..ummi leh jadi tukang masak bidan terjun :)

3rd Menu - Nasi Jagung served with Ayam Masak Serai & salad telur. Both recipes taken from k.Hanielize nyer fotopage (thanks k.liza..:) )

so, the rest..dah kenyang masuk lam perut..tak dan nak amik gambo..anyway, for the recipes of those nasi..can browse through at my cooking reference links..:)

Malaysian visitors

2008-07-05T14:16:00.007+02:00

It was last Tuesday when I was in Sentrum and suddenly met with two Malaysian friends. It's very suprisingly and so co-incident that one of them is actually a friend of mine from the last Induction course (Kursus Induksi). So, Shahril and Dr Ismail (both are from FKE, UiTM Shah Alam) were here for a conference and it was held in the same building of my office..eheheh..(banyak betul co-incident nya ye)..Anyway, we're so happy meeting them...sebabnya kan..bukan senang nak jumpa Malaysian kat sini..and at the same time pun there's one more Prof from MIMOS/UIA (Prof Dr. Mohamed Ridza) having a conference also in NTNU.

So, we (the Malaysian students in Trondheim) got the chance to have a dinner together in my house and also welcomed our new friend just came last week, Foong.

our menu - nasi putih dengan ayam masak lemak cili padi, padprik, ayam goreng, asparagus black pepper, sambal belacan dan ulam2an..

ikan goreng berlada dan karipap sumbangan Fazila, fruit cake sumbangan Peck Sze (wife Muk Chen Ong)

Tetamu tengah makan bersila. Maaf yer Dr2 sekalian..rumah saya kekurangan kerusi..:)

macam biasa bergambar beramai2 sebelum bersurai...Terima kasih sebab sudi datang ke teratak buruk kami (Rizal n' co.)

Oslo's vacation!

2008-07-05T13:29:00.013+02:00

wow!..it takes me a month to update new entries..apo nak buek. been so busy with the exams and kids at home..so, I would never had the chance to keep in still in front of the pc and write anything.

Ini pun it's because of abah's car is broke down again.so, we'd just sit at home..with my kids melompat sana sini..and ummi pun..take this chance to update on what's going on with us these few weeks back.

Oh ya..lupa nak bgtau..it's now summer already in Trondheim..walaupun summer, the weather is still tak menentu..sometimes it's raining, cloudy and when it's very hot..the temperature can be up to 28 degrees..(lebih kurang cam cuaca mesia la kan)..

since it's now summer, the school has closed until August. So, all the kids will always be at home with abah..and ummi, as being a student can't take any break actually, but there's actually no one in the office right now..people are taking their leaves and goes elsewhere..pi office macam diserang gagak gempita..and for the first time we had the chance to join other Malaysian students for a one week trip to Oslo last week.

so, here are some photos taken during our last vacation in Oslo.

1st day arrived - sempat jumpa Abdah and got the chance to have an evening walk at Karl Johan Gate..

2nd day - photo taken infront of Malaysian Consulat while waiting our President to settle his son's passport

2nd day juga - in Vigelands Park (tpt yg famous dengan pelbagai aksi patung)

the group trip of Malaysian students in Trondheim - 4 families (Shahriman, Muk, Ezanee and Rizal)

at Tusenfryd - not a good day for outing (ujan sepanjang hari...spoil betul)

infront of Opera House

last day outing - combination of students in Oslo and Trondheim (+ Hassilah, k.rima and k.normah families)

infront of the hytte - one nite break on the way back to Trondheim

to view more photos about this trip can look at http://adiksha.fotopages.com/

the trip was so nice...and thanks to all Oslo's friends for the hospitalities and such a nice moments..hope to meet u all again..:) .. (and perhaps after this in Trondheim pulak kot ;) )

Rizqin's creativity

2008-06-01T15:21:00.007+02:00

since I've not written for such a long time and today, I do have a little time to grab this opportunity on updating the blog, I would like to share the new achievement (huhuh..can we considered as an achievement?..heh! bukanlah..cuma new development kot)..of our second child - Muhammad Shahril Rizqin..

Actually this small little boy is going to be 5 end of this September but all the teachers treat him as a 3 or 4 years gutt (boy) sebabkan dia ni sgtla small in size and manja terlebih...tapi, tak sangka pulak..dalam kecik2 dia itu..ada bakat besar..ehehe..As according to his teachers..rizqin ni amat suka melukis and when he draw, he'll put all his imagination and illustration..

ini hasil lukisannya...ada org tgh naik horse dan gaduh dgn lagi sorang warrior..and yg best tu rupa2nya gambar tu dalam tv - hehehe..nampak tak arial tv atas frame tu

posing depan hasil kreativiti sendiri...mengancam la anak ummi yg sorang ni sekarang..:)

Norway Constituition Day - 17th of May 2008

2008-06-01T13:41:00.031+02:00

Last 17th of May was an independence day of Norway (tak sure depa panggil independence day ke constituition day)...and since the weather was so good...we've got the chance to join their parade downtown..Actually, since the city is not so big...so the crowds can be considered not so big also..Trondheim ni boleh diibaratkan macam Melaka je la kot kalau kat mesia tu..kira macam bandar bersejarah gitu..so, for site seeing..much of the places are more to historical and of course fishery (huhuhu...yg ni akan cite lebih lanjut pada masa akan datang..my hubby has been addicted to this new activity...kat Malaysia dulu lama dah stop xtvt mancing ni..so, skg dah jumpa geng and dapat peluang..cuaca pun makin bagus and Alhamdulillah..so far 2 kali pergi mancing pulang tak pernah tgn kosong)..

the statue of Olav - their warrior

masih pagi - perut lapar nih tak sempat breakfast tapi sebab budak2 ni excited sgt tak sabar nak pergi tgk parade..ikutkan jek la..

So, back to this important date for the Norwegian..we started walking from the faculty around 9 am..and because my kids were also wearing their costume..they're very proud and some of them took the chance to take photos with the kids..(bak kata abahnya, kat mesia pun kita tak beriya sambut hari kebangsaan macam ni ya)..tu la..this is a lesson for us..lepas ni rasanya kalau balik malaysia..pasti tak sabar nak tunggu 31 ogos and join the parade..as for the people here, they're really looking forward for the event and none of them missed it..all the shops were closed and they're all only in the sentrum to celebrate the day, with their traditional costume...and eventhough it's not a must but they did it as for their ownself..(tanpa paksaan, tanpa upah!)..ehehe..teringat lak masa sekolah2 dulu..masuk perbarisan sebab boleh dapat t'shirt free la...makan free la...apa2 lah mentality melayu...(dulu la kot)..rasanya skg seme dah ok..insyaAllah..:)

with nina&nisa - their bestfriends

mona, isac and julie - our neighbour in Byasen

rihana tumpang sekaki - abah kata rihana kenal bendera Norway dulu daripada bendera Malaysia ye..:P

eventhough we're celebrating their day..but i do not know why..deep inside my heart...i really do miss Malaysia..(kata org walau camana pun..tempat sendiri mmg lagi best kan..)

those hectics days in April and May

2008-06-01T13:06:00.008+02:00

it's been a long time..since I did not write or jot down anything here..been so busy with the life here...pindah randah punya kes yg tak berkesudahan...tu blm campur sibuk menyiapkan paper di department..and Alhamdulillah...this june will be the last sem in Spring 2008..so, hopefully after this I'll be in piece..huhuhu...maksudnya..kalau bz pun..cumalah dengan asmgt and papers deadline in the department but not those little small matters related to settling down our lifes' here in Trondheim city.

just wanna share with u all some photos taken during the last two months..some were in Breidablikkveien 64 (the house that we rent only for one and a half month before we, at the end got this new staff appartment - by SINTEF) and Alhamdulillah..this is the best one, ever...with the cheapest price and a very convenient place to live in..and here we are in Jonsvannsveien 87A...Eventhough it's in the upper floor but it's just 5 mins distance to my office and it's quite a strategic place for us..no hassle and the good thing is we do not have to think about moving out again..the contract ends until my study's finish..insyaAllah in 2010...

Breidablikkveien 64 - the living room

dining place - tempat kami sekeluarga makan2...

and this is the new house in Jonsvannsveien 87A

Happy Bursdag til Raziq!

2008-06-01T11:20:00.012+02:00

Muhammad Shahmi Raziq..6 years ago..at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital..around 10.00pm, u're born with ceasarian method. Not really sure why, but as according to Dato' Dr Jemilah (the doctor who welcomed you to the world..it's due to the late progress and u're kinda big as compared with ur mum's pelvic - 3.5kg)...and now, after the 6 years..u've become bigger, wiser and smarter?...that's what we thought of u now, so Raziq..hopefully u'll become mature, good and can be a son for your parents to be proud of..jadilah anak yg soleh dan semoga hidupmu diberkati anakku...

So, here's some pics taken in his barnhage during his birthday (30th May)..and since this Autumn he'll start in Primary One, this will be his last memories with the teachers and friends before the school end this summer...

Malaysian-get together

2008-03-08T12:36:00.008+01:00

"Marilah mari...pergi mengundi...jangan lupa kewajipan pada negara"...I guess kalau kat mesia mesti lagu ni sekarang yang berada di carta tip top especially di radio2 mahupun televisyen kerajaan...yerla..hari ni kan hari mengundi dan dalam masa beberapa jam dari sekarang akan diumumkan lah keputusan pilihanraya tersebut...sama ada semakin kukuh kerajaan yang memerintah sekarang atau sebaliknya..but deep inside my heart i believe..it's hard for the opponents to create/build up their own new nation..setakat untuk acah2...gertak bolehla..after all kita perlukan pembangkang dalam sebuah negara demokrasi..atleast to express people opinion..(if not all..the half side of it)...cuba pk..kalau sesebuah negara tu takde pembangkang..nanti kerajaan taktau diaorg buat tu betul ke tak..rasa betul jek la..and bila kita dah sampai tahap tu..ditakuti pulak nanti kita akan sentiasa berada di dalam "comfort zone"..i guess..and perkara2 yang tak sepatutnya berlaku..akan dikira ok jek..sebab takde parti yang nak menyuarakan ketidakbetulan itu..(ayoyo..apa aku merepek nih!). Well, anyway I am not a politician..not even interested to involve with..eventhough my dad..huhhuuu..bapaku..adalah seorg yang sangat aktif suatu waktu dahulu dalam arena ini..and i like to ask him about politics..i'm so proud of him as he can easily answer whatever situations happen which sometimes does not make sense to me..

Anyway, bercakap pasal politik ni..last week kami Malaysian families..yang tak berapa kerat ni..telah dikunjungi oleh Kak Aishah, Kelab Umno Denmark..so since semakin ramai Malaysian di sini..kemungkinan dia akan form Kelab Umno for Scanidavian instead of Denmark sahaja..Whatever it is, waktu ni je la kami amik kesempatan to get to-gether...so, sempatla juga discuss few issues and problems yang kami faced di sini..not sure what or how she can help..but atleast, there're shoulders to cry on..huhuhu..

Btw, I was also introduced with one Singaporean lady who married with a Norwegian here and her name is Zakiah..She's very nice...and so helpful..tak pasal2..dia lak yang terlebih concern pasal masalah kami di sini..and we've been talked sampai tak sedar waktu dah cecah kol 9 malam..(it started at 1.00pm..so ingatkan lepas asar ke dah settle)..tu la nye..org kata kalo dah jumpa org kampung..Singapore ngn JB kan tak jauh mana..so Zakiah ni pulak tau semua kedai2 atau warong2 yg famous kat JB...gerai goreng pisang mana lagi la..mawar la..angsana la..an even umbai kat melaka..phew! Dasat minah ni..tetiba lak..miss kat jb..huhuhu...bila la bley melawat semula tanah tumpah darah ku itu..:)

the presentation of the food: menu selera kampung idea Fazilah (wife President)

masakan yang sempat ummi prepare: kailan ikan masin, kangkung goreng belacan, sambal tumis ikan bilis, telur bungkus dan popia goreng

the crowds sedang menjamu selera: in the photo .. Din (suami anis), ezanee, hubby zakiah and of course my hubby sedang khusyuk makan tak sempat tgk camera..

here we are...next to me is Zakiah...and belakang anis is kak Aishah. Fazilah with her little baby..sian tuan rumah masih dalam pantang..

morning before kak Aishah berangkat balik..invited her to have a breakfast in my house..setakat makan nasi lemak je la..sebab ada sambal tumis semalam lebih..:)

Satu minggu yang meletihkan..

2008-02-29T11:34:00.010+01:00

What a week! It's so tiring and I guess it's just not my day (week!)Everything seems like wrong here and there. Tuhan menduga kita dengan perkara yang tak diduga...jadi sebagai hambaNya kita perlu redha. Namun mohon dikuatkan semangat hambaMu ini di sini ya Allah. C'mon..u have to wake up! Bangun dan kuatkan semangat untuk meneruskan perjuangan yang masih belum selesai ini. Mak dan keluarga yang lain di Malaysia, doakan semoga urusan kami dipermudahkan di sini. I am suppose to finish up my write-up but due to lots of incidents happened that make ourselves miserable over here. Things just become worse and worse. Let me just share with u all on the things happened to us in this whole week.

Mon: 5pm (dinner time) - terima sms dari K.long tentang pemergian Allahyarham Abg Mad

6pm - dapat e-mail dari Sit Bolig pasal suh keluo umah..

Tue: pergi ofc macam biasa..try buat keje..tapi satu apa pun tak masuk...sibuk cari umah. Balik half day..

Wed: tak pergi office..masih sibuk cari umah dan received reply dari seme landlord yang kebanyakannya refused utk bagi sewa kerana jumlah anak yg dikira ramai dan selebihnya mereka agak sceptical utk terima foreigners..:( Petang: abah tetiba collapse! Ummi mmg taktau nak buat apa dan nasib baikla mmg ada kat rumah masa tu...Alhamdulillah Allah masih menyayangi kami dan sekadar ingin menduga keimanan kami..

Thu: masih mencari rumah...still terima negative reponds..and at the same time work together dgn 2 other Malaysian families utk cari solution psl umah nih...Petang: bawa abah gi check-up kat klinik and Alhamdulillah Doktor kata takde apa2 complication cuma tekanan darah abah agak rendah dan Doktor suruh berhati2 pasal berhenti merokok..

Fri: hantar e-mail merayu dekat Sit Bolig memandangkan ada yang masih dibenarkan utk renew the contract (mmg tak paham polisi apa yg mereka guna). Minta sokongan dan clarification dari Department juga. Thanks to Randi..nasib dia banyak membantu...Abah dan Ezanee mengadap Sit Bolig untuk merayu lagi..and working out dgn Shahriman utk pk camana lagi nak buat supaya dapat exemption...

Fuh! Mende ni mmg betul2 meletihkan dan menyesakkan kepala. Abih satu minggu macam tu jek. Tak dapat nak pk mende lain dan fokus seme dah ilang. Lari dah deadline which I'm suppose to show my working paper to Prof Thanh. Sorry Prof, this is something that I didn't ask for. Promise will continue it soon!!

Salji masih turun dgn lebatnya...nak gerak pun susah

Suram je keadaan...macam faham apa yg tgh bergolak dalam diri kami di sini..

Anak-anak masih lena tidur...tak mengerti apa yang berlaku dan bakal terjadi...ke mana lah kita lepas ni anak2ku...hanya dengan kehadiran kalian sahajalah yang dapat menguatkan semangat Ummi dan abah di sini...

Trondheim city: Summer vs Winter

2008-02-28T19:51:00.010+01:00

Just wanna share with u all some of the photos shoot in Trondheim city during summer and winter. Don't mention about the temperature but the one that we hate most is to face such a loooooonggggggggggg day during the summer and also a loooooooooooooooongggggggggg nite during the winter. Bayangkan kol 10 malam masih macam kol 6 ptg jek...masa memula sampai bulan 8 aritu....sampaikan bebudak ni dok tanya..ummi dah malam ke..dah malam ke..berkali2...just because they couldn't see the moon yet...and now, during the winter (especially in x'mas eve) we hardly see the sun...just imagine we have to switch on the light all the time..and only have the daylight between 12 til 2pm....the rest is just darkness all around us...kesian budak2...nak bangun tido pun dok tanya..ummi dah siang ke..boleh bangun?..and we're told that the most daylight will be on the 21st of june while the most darkness is on the 21st of december every year....so, here we're...that's one of the thing that we never experienced before until we reach this artic circle country...besarnya keajaiban Allah...:) Allahuakbar!

learning Norwegian language - Part I

2008-02-28T10:45:00.006+01:00

Starting from this semester my department has send me to a Norwegian language course. The department has the allocation for that to ensure we can communicate in their language among the colleague. It's quite difficult to learn their language. There are lots of new words that is not familiar with us. Luckily I have Mona, Martin and Randi in the office who help me to practise with the language. Anyway, I am just taking it for fun and since it is sponsored so I just attend to make sure atleast I can understand whatever letters or memo send to us either from the community, schools or other organizations..So, I'll take this chance to list few common words that we might use in our daily conversation.

1. vaer sa god: welcome / may i help u

2. tusen takk : thank u very much

3. god morgen : good morning

4. god dag : good day

5. hva heter du? what is your name?

6. jeg heter Nor. My name is Nor

7. hvor kommer du fra? where do u come from?

8. Jeg kommer fra Malaysia. I come from Malaysia.

ogsa (also), men (but), og (and), eller (or)

Flott! (Excellent)

So I guess I'd have to stop until now and we'll continue with the basic words in the next lesson. Takk for i dag (thanks for the day!)

Pa vei - the text and exercise books that we use to learn the language and of course some dictionaries/vocabularies references

Mona really loves kid - amik kesempatan posing ngan Rihana yang masih tak berambut masa tu..:)

Tomas birthday

2008-02-28T10:09:00.005+01:00

Tomas is Raziq og Rizqin bestfriend. They're so closed and enjoy playing together all the time in the barnhagen. Tomas is a hard-fan of Spiderman so in his 3rd year birthday last year Raziq oq Rizqin gave him collections of Spiderman tumbler, cap and replica. Kids just enjoy playing and they do not have any problems in their mind..Well, enjoy kids..as long as you're happy ummi and abah will be happy too..:)

Incident and Accident

2008-02-27T19:46:00.010+01:00

I am not so sure whether both can be used in the same situations but there are lots of incidents happened to us while we're here..and Alhamdulillah..still there are few accidents happened as well. Whatever it is we still have to accept it and just hope that the incidents/accidents will not happen again..

1st accident: Rizqin felt down while playing in the barnhagen. The process of sending him to the hospital until we met the Doctor was really tiring. Hope there will be no accident like this again..

Other incidents:

Rihana in high fever. She doesn't want to move anywhere. Ummi just need to be by her side all the time..

Muhammad og Rizqin having spotsfever. Their photos taken with the new haircut after they've recovered. They need to cut off their hair since the spots came all over their body till their hair.

Ummi with the exam fever, virus infection in the sorethroat..Everything came in one. Ummi needs to have enough rest and this photo taken while Ummi is still under medication.

Abah collapsed! This is really surprise. He was just on the phone and suddenly collapsed during the conversation. Tried to call his name few times but he did not answer. I was almost cried! Can't imagine and can't even think of what and how to do...He was paused for a while and don't even move...until now we're still thinking of what is actually happen..is it due to less of oxygen or low blood pressure (as according to him)..but because of the sudden stop from smoke!!!!!We're still in blues...and can't wait to meet the Doctor for more info about this..Get well soon abah and we love u so much....

barnhage karnival

2008-02-27T19:29:00.009+01:00

I was so busy looking for houses to rent in finn.no when suddenly I came across photos of my sonn during the karnival in their barnhage, Moholt Barnhagen. Muhammad wished to be a prince since Frejya has agreed to be his princess..but sorry dear, Ummi couldn't find the Prince suit so just a warrior would be ocay I guess...and here comes the little Rizqin with his tigger (tiger) suit.

Our Prince Warrior, Muhammad eller (or) Raziq

The adorable Tigger (Rizqin)

Rihana? She wouldn't care less what would she be..but we know that she's our one and only little pumpkin -- anything will do for her as long as there are something she can munchy with..:)

moving out again?

2008-02-27T14:27:00.019+01:00

Phew! What a challenge. Living in other country with limited resources and facing lots of obstacles and circumstances here really make our life miserable. Luckily we're in family so we're kinda unite and we really have to standup for each other. It's hard to explain our situation here. At first when we came here we rented an apartment hotel for 2 weeks since we need to queue for the university student village. After 2 weeks when we thought that the house is ready, suddenly they said that it's still in queue. So we have to move out to another house recommended by the department but of course since both are private own we need to pay quite a lot of sum for both accomodations. That was last for about 1 month and in September 7th, 2007 we managed to move in to Moholt Studentby. The place is nice, cheaper (since it's a student village) and very near to the university. So we guess that it's settled already and everything is just as plan. We're so relief..(I can go to the office within a few minutes and Muhammad and Rizqin can go to their barnhage by in just 5 minutes walking distance) until then...suddenly we received the email saying that they're not going to renew our contract. New policy stated that they will be no more PhD students in student village since they treated us as employee. So by no choice we really have to move out again and this will be our 3rd time moving out here-and-there for the last 6 months. Arghh!!!This is kinda tense to me. I really can't think about anything else. Why must we face this since we really need to have a peaceful mind to manage our work here. Private house is really expensive and it can reach up until NOK7000-8000 per house. We really can't afford it and the worse case is tenants normally will not allow kids if their houses is just around 30-40m2. Big house means big rental price! Ya Allah..permudahkanlah urusan kami di sini....

Abah and the kids on top of the roof in our 1st rented apartment hotel that cost us NOK600 per day!

Our 2nd rented house that cost us NOK5000 for only 3 weeks!

The house that we rent now in Moholt Studentby that cost us NOK4825 every mth including 24X7 internet access.

Al-Fatihah

It's nearly 6 months we've been here. Long period enough for us who missed those people who're dear and close to us but now they've gone away. Innalillahiwainnailahirajiun..Last Aidilfitri, my cousin Allahyarham Kamal Ariffin bin Kamal Hijjaz has passed away and just recently (25th of February) my 2nd brother in-law Allahyarham Muhammad bin Aziz also passed away. Both of them are very young (50+ and 40) but as people always says "Allah lebih menyayangi mereka" and good people normally leaves earlier. AlFatihah untuk kedua-dua Allahyarham dan semoga roh mereka ditempatkan bersama orang-orang yang soleh. Amin..

4th August 2007: KLIA to Amsterdam. That was the last time we met with Allahyarham Abang Pin..(not in the picture)...We're so sad to know that we're not going to meet arwah again after this...as he has been such a nice brother, inspiring us and always give good advises to us..Semoga kak Mie sekeluarga sentiasa tabah dan redha dengan pemergian arwah..

I guess this was the last time we met with arwah Abg Mad (Pak Ngah)...We're there in their house to return the car key that we borrowed after we've sold our car. Eventhough he was sick at that time but still he treated us with delicious durians to celebrate our farewell..The only can be captured here is arwah's leg (in pelikat) together with Sabrina (arwah last daughter-aged 7) and my elder son, Muhammad. Semoga Kak Ngah tabah menghadapi pemergian arwah Abg Mad. Percayalah Kak Ngah adik sekeluarga di sini sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan hidup Kak Ngah di samping membesarkan anak2 yang masih kecil (Shafiqah, Haziq, Idlan dan Sabrina)

photos shoot!

2008-02-27T12:03:00.011+01:00

Since I started my blog quite late (after 6 mths here)..so there are lots of things and experienced need to be shared...and now...everything is like a mess...not sure on which or what to be published first..so, let's just have the photos express everything..

It was last Sunday where we took the opportunity to go to NTNU and manage to make few phone calls to Malaysia..(abah infront of our 'lucky-old' car purchased here)..<--why is it called lucky?..look at the reg. no..ong ma!!! Introducing our beloved the one and only datter (Norwegian word of calling daughter), Nur Rihana Safiyyah...(don't be surprise with her big round eyes..wait till u see the brothers)

Now, here are our two charming sonn (we called son in English), Muhammad Shahmi Raziq og (and) Muhammad Shahril Rizqin (they're so inspired with Spiderman action)..so just accept it..:)

blog for the beginner

2008-02-27T10:29:00.004+01:00

Let's have the mukaddimah of this blog with kalimah Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..
Actually I'm not so sure whether it's a good thing to have a blog on my own or not..I was happy reading and enjoying surfing through the bloggers side...nice to read others opinion about how do they think about things around..social life, community, life experience..and others...but to have my own blog..it was like having my privacy to be shared by others (that was my 1st thought)..but after going through the experience of life myself..(far away from home..and with my beloved family)..with all sorts of things happened lately...I started to think and realise that having blog is not really 'sharing your privacy' but also a way to share your experience to others..for thought and to be taught...
