Exactly why I love to travel.

Jalan Jalan cari baju raya

15 Oktober 2013, kita akan menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Bersempena dengan itu, sudah semestinya baju raya terutama untuk budak 2 orang itu harus dicari.  Janganlah kata over, cuma nak cari baju melayu saja.  Untuk mommie dia, banyak lagi baju yang tak pakai, cari je mana yang sesuai, janji colour dia lebih kurang sedondon.

Lepas kelas drum Abang Adik, dan futsal Abang besar, kita mulakan our journey to .... mana lagi tempat yang happening dekat KL ni kalau tak...JALAN TUANKU ABDUL RAHMAN.  Butik A'niz lah jadi pilihan; mesra pelanggan, banyak pilihan dan semestinya MURAH.

Sebelum kita serbu Butik A'niz, kita ke Capital Cafe dulu untuk late lunch.  Punyalah ramai orang, nasib baik ada tempat duduk sungguhpun terperesok di hujung restoren, janji ada tempat.

Nasi goreng is a must dkat Capital Cafe ni

 Budak ni, apa pun OK saja asalkan teh dia ada, very English la this boy :D

 Muka budak kelaparan, lepas futsal tournament terus kene angkut ke sini

Chef in action 

Don't play play, Capital Cafe ni since 1954 tau

 

Gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut senang hati. TQ uncle, nanti kita jumpa lagi

Berbalik kepada cerita baju melayu kita tadi, alhamdulillah dapat la baju Melayu Johor warna hijau muda sedondon untuk 3 orang tu, size 10, M dangan XL. Guess what? It only cost us RM168 saja. Murah kan?

 So hal diorang ni dah settle, cuma balik nanti, mak dia kenalah selongkar almari cari baju yang sama tema. Rasanya, that won't be a problem (eh ceh..eksen)

Wahhhhh esok raya wehhhh....

Selamat menyambut Aidil Adha you alls!!

TRAVEL PLANNER

Kelmarin ada management meeting, 1 of my directors tanya "tak ada pegi jalan jalan lagi?"  Gila kalau tak ada plan nak pegi jalan jalan, mesti ada punye.  Dalam perancangan insya allah end of the month nak pegi Singapore over a weekend, next month atau early December nak turun Jakarta pun over the weekend, dah plan dengan geng ketat nak turun Kelantan, over the weekend gak, Beijing in December for few days dan kita ada hen party di Bali mungkin dalam bulan January.  Ini rasanya boleh dikategori kan sebagai "dream big, aim high" ke? Hmm dream big - plan jalan sana sinilah, aim high - even tak lah plan europe trip ke hape, sebab dah tau kudrat, kewangan dan cuti mmg dah sah sah tak mengizinkan but its in the future plan, though. Sikit saja nak tambah, financial planning pun kena ada, tak kan nak hitch hike, kayuh tongkang sendiri or minom air paip je kan time travelling tu. Nak dream pun, perancangan kene tip top :D

Singapore

Jakarta

Kelantan

China

Bali

Perasan tak plan tu semua travel over the weekend? Reason; cuti dah habis dan dipendekkan cerita kalau kita dah diberikan lemon, kita buatlah lemonade.  Orang putih kata, 'when God give you lemon, you make lemonade".. jangan mengada ngada nak buat rendang ayam ke, rendang itik ke, nanti sapa yang stress? sendiri jugak...

Kenapa juga terselit trip ke Kelantan? 

Sebab No 1 - sebab tak pernah sampai sana,  Sebab No 2 - sebab nak beli ni...

Sungguhpun ada kekawan komen kata macam orang tua la cari kuali camgini tapi tak kira, nak cari gak

Ni baru tunjukkan travel planner sikit, belum lagi tunjukkan budget travel planning Che Lynn setahun, kalah CEO present business plan tau paperworknya. Cuma tulah, execution tu yang kadang kadang hancus.

Anyway, hopefully semua plan tu berjalan dengan lancar, dipermudahkan, dimurahkan rezeki dan harap harap ada deals flight ticket yang tahap giga murah. Amin amin ya rabbal alamin!!!

What is LOVE?

Apa itu cinta, kasih, sayang? macam macam study dah dibuat, pelbagai teori tapi satu saja yang pasti, that we cannot survive without love.

Love tu bukan limited to cinta boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife saja. Lebih dari tu, ibu bapa, adik beradik, saudara mara, anak beranak, kawan kawan, pets, your belonging, your belief, dan yang terpenting - love to the Almighty. 

Apa pun your thoughts or interpretation, for sure LOVE is definitely NOT...

Manipulation. "If you loved me, then you would..." 

Compromising who you are. If someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature, that isn't true love. Although love does involve compromises between partners, someone who is in love with you will never ask you to change who you are in order to be loved.

Violent. Passions can definitely become inflamed with someone you love, but a relationship with physical or emotional violence isn't true love.

Just lust. Yes, chemistry and physical attraction are important, but true love also includes commitment, 

Lagi fakta menarik yang ditemui :

LOVE CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH!!

Interesting eh? with the right partners la kot, kalau dapat yang perangainya macam...., alamatnya hmmm

"Love can be good for your health. If you are married, or happily cohabiting, in the long term you will suffer from less depression and live significantly longer than those who are single, divorced or widowed. But to get the full health benefits, you have to pick the correct partner", kata Dr Raj Persaud dalam Simply Irresistible, the Psychology of Seduction.

Journal of Marriage and the Family pulak melalui kajian yang telah dibuat selamat 10 tahun ; "the danger is gender-specific: among men, marital loss has a negligible effect on the risk of heart disease."

Kajian US-based Veterans Affairs group found that ;  "marital dissolution can significantly increase their risk of suffering mental and physical health problems. The risk is highest among younger women who described their marriages as 'harmonious'".

Wow, mmg dasyatlah penangan chenta nih.

Love is blind? itu bukan hanya perumpamaan semata tau, dah scientifically proven pon. Scientists have discovered that certain parts of the brain become deactivated when we're in love, including areas linked with negative emotions, planning, critical social assessment, the evaluation of trustworthiness and fear.

Nak share sikit my way of chenta kasih sayang, simple je...

Kalau dia tak de, kita rindu rinduan...sob, sob, sob :(

Budak ni rindu nak jumpa daddy (ke mak dia yang over? :p)

Thanks to the technology, ada skype sbg penganti diri :D

Even bende tu kita tak suka buat pun, tapi akan digagahi jugaklah, contoh; saya memang tak suka drive jejauh, tapi chenta hati punya pasal, dalam penat penat, ku gagahi jua bawak kereta sampai KLIA

Ada yang sampai tertidur tidur 

1 jam lepak di KLIA tgk kapal terbang sementara nak tunggu flight daddy 

 

Muka anak-anak yang excited nak jemput daddy, baru 5 hari je kot kita tak jumpa

Ini muka excited sebab daddy balik ke atau sebab dapat souvenier? confuse kejap

That's sikit sneak peek cara we all show our love. It ain't smooth sailing all the way, but hey, that's what makes you stronger kan.

Berdoa banyak banyak agar rasa kasih sayang ni tak padam dan kami sekeluarga bahagia, aman damai sentiasa hingga ke akhir hayat. Amin.

Familia

Malam tadi bawa some cupcakes ke rumah parents, nak celebrate birthday abang besar dengan atuk, nenek, angah dan ochu dia.  Semua orang ada kecuali the big daddy yang jauh di perantauan huhuhuuu...

Penuhlah rumah tu dengan anak cucu semua, so budak budak tu kalau dah ramai ramai, mmg havoclah.  Picture paint a thousand words kan? Kita tak payah cerita banyak, tengok saja gambar bawah ni. Harus orang akan faham kekecohan level tertinggi yang berlaku semalam dengan kehadiran budak budak hyper ni... love them so much anyway

Kesian Abah, inilah gambar paling senonoh sekali yang boleh di snap.  Bukan sekali dua nak capture moment ni..Sabar je lah budak budak ni

-Che Lynn

Love!

Lepak-lepak at my sista's last night, a lot of catching up iyelah bukan senang nak jumpa, dan bukan senang juga nak borak with running and screaming kids around

Juga bukan senang nak snap photo budak bertiga ni

Abang Adik kena kerahan tenaga, Aariz suruh dia bawak pusing pusing satu rumah..weeeeeeeeee.....

Catch us if you can Arianna 

Brotherly love (pun bukan satu pose yang senang kita nak snap, 1 - kena tengok mood diorang, 2 - kena be super fast,  ambil gambar sebelum diorang buat hal lain, 3 - nanti ada lagi seorang budak perempuan tu sibok nak mengacau)

BTW, cousin lagi 2 orang tak dapat ikut, and Abang besar pulak ada aktiviti santai bersama kawan kawan sempena pre-birthday.  Kalau tak, lagi havoc rumah ni :D

Love these kids so much

Happy 16th Birthday, Son!

Hari ini hari jadi budak ni yang ke 16, sweet 16lah.  Since semalam emak dia cuti, jadi kita bawa dia keluar for his pre-birthday lunch.  Mula mula ingat nak serbu Makan Kitchen, Double Tree hotel, fully booked lah pulak so kita divert plan ke Dome, Intermark je lah.

Birthday Boy

Ini Minang Italian memang hantu  pizza, he prefers Chinoz's pizza then Dome's...

Itu cerita semalam, pagi ni kita ada supprise lain...

Ini muka budak baru bangun pagi dan tak mandi lagi, dekat dapur nak tolong mummy bawakan cupcake untuk supprisekan abang 

Syyyy..... birthday boy awal awal dah bangun, tengah baring tengok tv. Jom kita supprisekan dia

Happy Birthday Abang!! 

Kita celebrate bertiga saja, sebab yang lagi seorang tu jauh di Bangalore..sob..sob..sob..

So son, on your birthday, I wish to dedicate this poem titled "Mother To Son" by Langston Hughes to you.

Well, son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.

But all the time 

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's,

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light.

So, boy, don't you turn back.

Don't you set down on the steps.

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now—

For I'se still goin', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

My love and doas will always be with you.  I love you baby, and Happy Birthday again.

-Mommie

Cinta Hati

Saya sayangkan mereka mereka ini, ada sebab yang banyaaaaaak tak terkata.  Sebab utamanya adalah, kerana......

Mereka adalah keluarga saya

My gunduts at one of our trips to Singapore, they are my pillar of strength

 On Abah's 64th birthday recently

Birthday party terkejut

Meylong and Arianna 

The Ar Rahmans 

Not to be missed, my gossip girls whom I've shared many of my ups and down

People will come and go in your life, tapi keluarga akan sentiasa berdiri di belakang no matter what.

Tazkirah Jumaat dari Che Lynn :D muahahahahaahaaaa

Picture paints a thousand words
