Thumbs up to the cook. mommies sembang and daddies tgk F1, balik punyalah lambat... kesian esok budak2 sekolah but ramai-ramai tu happy jer depa...

Dubai Flea Market.
(One man´s trash, is another man´s treasure! )

Finally made it today. Babah sent me there (at Safa Park), strolled with us for awhile and off to work. Met Riri there and we had much time to cover all stalls. Frankly speaking, one tends to buy things unnecessarily because u would think they are cheap considering u can get a barely used leather jacket for AED40, or children cardigans, jeans or sweater for aed 5 each. Besides, they are bargainable. Can't wait for another one next month which held on every first Saturday of the month.

entertained by Lime musicians - country songs

This leather jacket plus a pair of children boot and a pair of shoes cost only for 50Aed

Thurs Nite. 30th Oct 2008

Uncle Norris ajak Babah n friends gi makan Ikan Bakar kat Jumeirah (Bu Qtair). Lama nak pergi tapi dok tertangguh jer. After Maghrib we drove to Norris place, berkumpul and convoy... lalu along Zheik Zayed Road at nite was breathtaking and very panoramic especially nampak Burj Arab stand tall as Dubai landmark . Kedai makan dia biasa jer, macam kedai-kedai kalau kita jalan-jalan kat Cherating. It is actually tepi laut gak but full of constructions along the shore, reclaimed. Sampai sana nampak Abang Fudzail satu group dengan family FND and Afza tengah syok dok makan.




So we took another table, sat and ordered. While waiting for the orders, babahs and daddies dok at the other end chatting and smoking while the mommies biasalah, brok-brek updating latest events, children spt biasa main and bising. Later makanan sampai. MasyaAllah... paratha 25 keping, ikan besor-besor 6 ekor kot (really fresh) ... nasi lagi. First bite, first taste... ermmmm not bad, delicious, yummy and memang sedappp makan panas-panas . Puas makan ratah-ratah gitu... tapi diet malam tu memang lari sebab makan tak ingat dunia. Finally, semua berebut nak bayar tapi Uncle Norris belanja (Thank U Uncle Norris). Pastu baru tahu, their 10thwedding Anniversary, rupanyer (so buat kenduri kahwin lah tu, dah 10 tahun baru belanja kami-hehehe). Happy wedding Anniversary, Norris and Moi. Moga kekal ke anak cucu.



Habis dinner, teringat nak bawak anak-anak main pasir kat Jumeirah Beach overlooking the Burj Arab. Beautiful... the children main pasir betul especially Ilham. siap berenang kat pasir. Mamas and babah dok click-click crazy capturing Burj Arab at nite. Dahlah gelap, so trial and errorlah tukar shutter speedlah, tukar settings lah konon nak dapatkan good snaps. Ermmm kalau pro tengok, confirm depa gelakkan. Mohon tunjuk ajar lah abang-abang pro, kami amateur photographer.



hasil amateur kami; NOT BAD la kan? gelap betul kat situ... alasan (lame excuses)!!!

Mama and Babah are blessed with these two dearie kids in our custody to love them and to be loved. We had long honeymoon years while waiting for ALLAH swt to send us our little angels from heaven. We took care A'an when he was few months old and took him everywhere and being introduced as our 'son' till now. He is actually mama's brother's son. Many of our close friends understood that.

.

Then mama's Kak Long got her fourth child; the only girl but understanding our hopes for a child, she let us to take care after this girl. In fact after that delivery she wasn't so well. We care and tender them with our fullest love... without prejudice. Intan is our 'lucky charm', as many said kalau ambil anak angkat InsyaAllah ade rezeki. When she was two year plus ... Alhamdulillah we learnt that we were pregnant with Iman after waiting for almost five years. It wasn't easy though as we never stop hoping, trying and praying. Until we safely delivered Iman; that made us the parents of three (A'an, Intan and Iman). Nothing changed... we still love her and A'an dearly. Many had the thought that when we had ours we would neglect these two... NOPE! They are still and will be ours forever though we are sharing the LOVE to love them. Thank u to my brother Khairol Khamis n wife, Kak Ngah and my Kak Long, Zalina Khamis and hubby; Abang Long for letting us to love these twos of our lucky charms. Now we have a bundle of joys - on Monday the children will be here with us ... that makes us, parents of 5. We are blessed. Alhamdulillah, Thank u Allah. We could not ask for more.
